[00:00] nemo229 how slow? [00:00] bytes slow [00:00] what's your wireless network card? [00:00] i'm using wired conn atm [00:00] Steven_Krebs: That's a pity. It makes chatting on Linux or any Linux-based apps a chore. [00:00] i have acer aspire one [00:00] ahh look i found the problem, "It is not possible to create Ubuntu 10.04 USB disks from the Startup Disk Creator in Ubuntu 10.10 due to a backwards incompatibility in the syslinux program." [00:01] actually as my native language doesn't use ^ or ` on any letter I'm fine with the no dead version [00:01] nemo229, is that a netbook ? [00:01] yes [00:01] Steven_Krebs: till you have to xor! [00:01] my wired connection works fine but my wireless is slow [00:01] nemo229, just curious how is the performance of acer aspire one , i bought a second hand one its with my bro right now [00:02] nemo229, is the strength showing good ? [00:02] works fine with 1gb ram [00:02] yeah. until then [00:02] yea [00:02] I'm wondering if someone did a custom keyboard layout for that [00:02] did you do a dsl speed test or something ? [00:02] no [00:02] does anyone in here know how to load minecraft on ubuntu? and get it running, I alreasdy have it downloaded... [00:02] but I think the dbus system is meant to take care of that [00:02] is this the correct format for xset to turn my monitor off after 10 mins of no use "xset dpms [0 [ 0 [10]]]" [00:03] nemo229: I have an Aspire 5551 - dunno if it is same chipset but am using Broadcom Proprietary STA driver... can you try this (or, are you willing to?). === Phoebus_ is now known as Phoebus [00:03] Aha - mimeapps.list: inode/directory=totem.desktop; -> inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; But how did it get changed in the first place.. [00:03] hey, nice spam protection! :) [00:03] nemo229 If I d have to put my finger on it I would say it's a driver issue yeah [00:03] yes i'm willing to [00:04] I was curious - is there any music player, preferably with music library, that would support samba shares? [00:04] this is my first time using ubuntu o.o [00:04] Hmm. About that bug I mentioned: A friend tried the same thing and he just saw the message about not accepting capitals in usernames, right besides the input box. I distinctly remember seeing nothing there, not even a checkmark or comment. [00:05] nemo229: just go System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and see if there is an option to try the alternative (Prop) driver. If it doesn't work out you can easily de-activate it. [00:05] So it's at best a system specific thing, or one time event. I should send my specs with it, so it should happen via ubuntu-bug, but that's giving me an error about not being connected [00:05] browser rhythmbox should do that [00:05] bowser [00:05] how do i find system :x [00:06] I can't get to the grub menu by tapping ESC, and running an fsck on a livecd is saying my disk is in use. How can I run an fsck with a livecd? [00:06] Ah. Problem solved, I needed to use sudo [00:06] nemo229: Usually top left of screen, there is the Ubuntu logo, Applications, Places then System. May be next to your Firefox icon on a standard install. [00:07] where is the "hard drive" icon stored? the one that's used on the desktop filesystem icons [00:07] prolly /usr/share/icons/ [00:07] so what happens if i cannot get ubuntu to boot or install from the usb drive? [00:07] how can i login as root? [00:07] i cannot install it? [00:08] nemo229: where to start? [00:08] !root | pankaj_sharma [00:08] pankaj_sharma: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:08] Steven_Krebs: well, yeah, I would figure; I should have been more specific and said that I can't find it in /usr/share/icons [00:08] !sudo [00:08] 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 [00:08] hrm nope [00:08] !cli [00:08] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [00:09] Hello, there is a selection of ~20 screen savers I'd like to put onto random. Any one know how? [00:09] when i go to applications there is no Places option [00:09] !msgthebot > pankaj_sharma [00:09] pankaj_sharma, please see my private message [00:10] nemo229: 'Places' is next to 'Applications' on the panel - it is not a submenu. Ditto 'System' [00:10] I installed LAMP + wordpress. If i just go the server's ip address i get the basic apache page but when i go to the wordpress folder it acts like it can't handle PHP [00:10] does usb install not work on all computers? [00:11] whats the command to install kde? [00:11] next to applications is trash and files &folders [00:11] Steven_Krebs: I'll try it, but I thing it did not work [00:11] basix-: USB booting isn't supported on all pc's some older pc's won't recongnize it [00:11] nemo229: are you using netbook remix edition? [00:11] yea [00:11] Steven_Krebs: btw I am on Kubuntu if that matters [00:11] at least i think i am [00:12] downloaded netbook edition from ubuntu.com [00:12] what is the command line to have xset change the time frame in which no activity will tunr monitor off on my laptop. have some troubles [00:12] OddTod: do you mean "PCs"? because "PC's" doesn't make sense to me >.> [00:13] some possession of a guy that goes by PC [00:13] like a bar. let's all go to PC's! [00:13] Any one know how to configure what screensavers are *active* for random? [00:13] nemo229: so sorry. // You likely will be if on a netbook. I have looked at it but never used it. I can't help you with that - have used it briefly. Maybe you could ask here if anyone else has specific experience with UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix). [00:14] or... another random setting that's more configurable? [00:14] cheako: i would suppose the list of installed screensavers, excluding the random one itslef [00:14] whats the command to install kde? === CHOCOBY is now known as chocoby [00:14] lahwran; yes [00:14] pankaj_sharma: apt-get install kde-desktop [00:14] pankaj_sharma: with the sudo === agoole is now known as frankagoole [00:14] I'm having troubles getting printing to work [00:15] lahwran might want to cap your sentences when you're knocking someone's grammar [00:15] I have cups running, and drivers are installed, but nothing seems to make it to the printer, [00:15] pankaj_sharma: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install the full kubuntu system [00:15] mmk thanks [00:16] Steven_Krebs: rhythmbox does not allow me to browse for samba shares :( [00:16] frankagoole: /var/log/cups [00:17] shure? I think you have to manually add the folders [00:17] OddTod: [00:17] if i download the broadcom wireless driver how do i install it on ubuntu [00:17] !broadcom | nemo229 [00:17] nemo229: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:18] have you tried rebooting the printer, frankagoole?! [00:18] how do i uninstall my atheros wireless driver that i have atm [00:19] normaly they get deactivated once you choose an alternative [00:19] chelz: Yes, how can I adjust that list. Do I have to uninstall the saver's I don't want? === joseph is now known as Guest96434 [00:20] how can I enable "click scrolling" with my mouses center wheel? [00:20] lahwran, ok [00:21] nemo229: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20532h [00:21] Ubuntu rocks my socks. [00:21] How do you make the Default View in Places by List (CTRL-2)? [00:21] how do i get a game(minecraft) to run on java???? [00:22] OddTod, just caught your message, thx, i guess i'm trying cd and it seems to be working now ;) [00:22] chelz: They are not broken out by packages. === Royall_ is now known as Royall [00:22] maku: Java IMHO is just broken that way. You have to know the code that loads the game, some class/object name to create and instance of. [00:22] how can I enable "click scrolling" with my mouses center wheel? [00:23] froggyman: there's an option in firefox [00:23] hmm maybe i'm too much of a newb to get this... [00:23] I'm trying to mount my file system on a livecd, and I'm doing `sudo mount -r /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk` and it's hanging. Any ideas? [00:23] cousteau, really? Why is it not enabled by default though? On windows it has been for me [00:23] maku: I think it's rather that Java dosen't allow it. [00:23] lahwran: ? [00:24] OddTod: [00:24] do you know how to run it then? the minecraft website says to run it with java, I know I have java on there. [00:24] froggyman: well, on linux the mouse middle-click is more used for pasting the select buffer or opening things on a new tab [00:24] I have downloaded the whole file and everything it just won't start... [00:25] which version of java? open java or sun java? [00:25] froggyman: edit > prefs > last tab > general > use auto scrolling [00:25] Blaine_: What filesystem type? [00:25] cousteau, alright. Thanks a bunch! [00:25] it says java basic...my b/f did that part, I'm trying to figure out which or download sun, b/c it says it needs that version [00:25] you can check the version from terminal with; apt-cache policy java [00:26] froggyman: only, if you middle-click a link, instead of auto-scroll, it will be opened on a new tab [00:26] not sure how to check [00:27] Blaine_: You should know if you are trying to mount it, but file -s [00:27] thanks, brb [00:27] and if you middle-click a text area, the last thing you selected will get pasted (it's a quick way to copy and paste: you select a text and it gets automatically copied on a buffer, then middle-click and it gets pasted) [00:27] ok, where is terminal? super new [00:27] hi! my girlfriend started computer and at start there was a windov saying something about not able to start clock appelt, she instinticly pressed delete, and now im without clock/calendar in task bar how do i get it back? [00:27] maku go to ubuntu software center and enter "sun java" in the search field. install the runtime environment for your architecture [00:28] recmajkemi: Rgt-click -> add. [00:28] recmajkemi right-cklick -> add [00:28] man [00:28] too slow ^^ [00:28] thanks [00:29] ok i added but cant move it to right side over others, [00:29] how do i install ubuntu 10.10 in text mode? [00:29] middl-click/drag. [00:29] cheako: It's ext4. I tried re-mounting with -t ext4 and it still hangs. [00:29] !alternate | basix- [00:29] basix-: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [00:30] thx :) [00:30] Blaine_: Kill off all your hung mounts and fsck.ext4 [00:30] recmajkemi rightclick on everything right of it and unlock those. then rightclick on the applet and select "move" [00:30] basix-: You're welcome. [00:30] '-f' even [00:30] afterwards rightclick on them and lock them again [00:30] ??? [00:30] profit! [00:30] k, brb [00:30] what's the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu? is it just gnome and kde? [00:31] yeah [00:31] which is a wealthy difference [00:31] hi? [00:31] is there a program for linux that opens .enc files? [00:31] is there a way to just reinstall power management so that it works, I have set to blank screen after a min and nothing happens ? anyone have ideas [00:31] deacon [00:31] Thanks guys, another question if I wanted same programs and settings on all my ubuntu computers is there a way to sync all that and not doing it everthing all over again [00:31] Any one have problems playing DVDs in mplayer? My video stops/locks until I seek sometimes. [00:32] have you tried turning it off and on again? [00:32] When using gxine there is no problem, but then there are other issues.

Looks like it's a feature of newer kernels. [00:34] ok i installed that, now how do i get my game to uyse it, when I right click on the game file, and click open with, it does not give me the option to use sun java.. [00:34] !automate [00:34] I've got three of them running, too [00:34] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [00:34] :/ [00:34] all your ram are belong to vista [00:34] iflema: thanks [00:34] maku [00:35] is there any task manager in ubuntu? [00:35] yes..:/ [00:35] name? [00:35] Blaine_: You could just ignore then or reboot. [00:35] try the following: alt+F2 and enter java -jar /home/"yourusername/"yourminecraftfolder"/Minecraft.jar [00:36] fsck -f anyway? [00:36] fsck.ext4 [00:36] that's what I am using to get minecraft to run [00:36] pankaj_sharma: Start with top. [00:36] Blaine_: Yes. [00:36] to create a launcher It's the exact same command [00:36] cheako, what top [00:37] can that potentially damage my disk? [00:37] pankaj_sharma system > administration > System Monitor [00:37] pankaj_sharma: Many applications have but two letters... cp/mv/ls/df/du/ps there are however some that have 3 cat/top === ePirat is now known as testnick [00:38] Blaine_: It could, but if these mounts are truly hung then they should not recover. [00:39] ps is another task manager, but it's not vary easy to use for more then just the current user. === testnick is now known as ePirat [00:39] cheako, thanks [00:39] pankaj_sharma: top is a command-line program with similar functionality to the task manager from Windows. You run it from the terminal. The system monitor iflema mentioned is probably what you actually want. [00:40] zakwilson, how can we stop any particular process in top [00:40] Blaine_: Reboot and just run fsck before trying to mount anything. [00:40] pankaj_sharma: press k, then type in the pid, then press enter [00:41] why not use gnome system manager? [00:41] Marine_ is gaming. !gameinfo for more info. [00:41] it comes with ubuntu anyway [00:42] pankaj_sharma: top has a manual which you can read by typing "man top" in the terminal... but you really probably want the system monitor iflema told you about. [00:42] zakwilson, got it [00:42] Jordan_U: it seems like the livecd is trying to mount it in the background [00:43] Blaine_: Are you using an Ubuntu LiveCD? [00:43] is there a way I can tell the livecd to not mount it or mount as read only? [00:43] yes [00:43] I'm back from the game! [00:43] 10.10 [00:44] My best friend is gay and he's looking for a OS to stick on his Macbook... I suggested ubuntu since it means something about gay in african..right? [00:44] Blaine_: Are you sure that you ran fsck before trying to mount? I'm pretty sure the Ubuntu LiveCD doesn't mount partitions automatically. [00:44] mulvane: hoho, how funny. not ;( [00:44] what does the fact that he's gay have to do with anything? [00:44] I don't remember [00:44] hrm any bugs with acpi and monitors on laptops not going blank ? when set to turn off after no activity with any time set?

Re-downloaded the pxe installer files just to make sure... same error... googling didnt come up with anything.. has anyone here heard of this? [00:44] I'll reboot and see if there's a mount being run [00:44] brb [00:45] yeesh, sorry for the 80-line question... [00:45] :-) [00:45] Nevermind..I'll just tell him stock debian. he's not racist so no need to use ubuntu to [00:45] Swian, please don't feed the trolls [00:45] top doesnt show all the process .but the system monitor does show all [00:45] good poing wedwo- [00:45] point [00:45] does anyone know about the extension .ipk and how to package it? [00:45] is there any way to bring a job launched with crontab into the foreground? [00:48] lol === ukine_ is now known as ukine [00:51] Hey there, I'm trying to mount a sata/usb adapter NTFS drive.. how do I go about doing that? I figured sudo mount /dev/sdd /mnt but it needed more tags [00:51] on a headless ubuntu 10.04LTS install, @ 'makedepend' for a pkg source-build, I get countless 'makedepend: warning: ... cannot find include file "stddef.h"' messages. to cure, i've been told to, and have, installed "gcc build-essential libc6 libc6-dev xutils-dev". no help -- still getting that error. checking on my sys, i do find: /usr/include/linux/stddef.h. [00:51] have i missed a dependency, or do i need to _manually_ add compile-time FLAGS? [00:52] Kai696: sdd is the entire drive, you want to mount a partition like sdd1 [00:52] Jordan_U is it set as sdd1 as default? or is there a way to check? (thx btw !) [00:53] Kai696: "sudo blkid" will list all your partions, with information about each. [00:53] What permission/groups do you need to start an upstart job (service name start) that starts a daemon that runs as root? [00:55] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/KV5svL2R [00:57] It's not showing up in that Jordan_U as per the pastebin post [00:58] Anyone have some time to help out with a acpi and monitor on laptop no off or going to blank screen even if set for one min of no activity. [00:58] is there any official documentation for Unity? I looked but was surprised not to find anything [00:58] Kai696: If that's the entire output from "sudo fdisk -l" then that drive doesn't appear to have any partition table. [00:59] line 22- 27 Jordan_UI [00:59] - the I lol [01:00] Kai696: Lines 22-27 don't show anything about any partitions, are you sure that is the complete output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [01:00] http://pastebin.com/05yESDCm <--- full post [01:01] Kai696: That disk does not appear to have a partition table. Was it part of a raid array? Are you able to use it on any other machine? [01:02] Have Ubuntu maverick 64 bit on a machine with 4 GB of RAM. On a fresh install there was 3.9GB listed and some days ago it went down to 3.7. Where did the ram go? [01:02] I'm using a trackpad. Is there any way to use select and paste other that to use the right click menus? [01:02] hello, where did software sources go in ubuntu 10.10? [01:02] Kapace: you can invoke it in synaptic [01:03] Jordan_U MBR won't boot so we can live- disk and it works fine, I'm just trying to pull some files off of it.. not sure specifically how to answer your question though ?? by itself the OS is useless however [01:03] lucas_, ok thanks [01:03] Kapace, use USC [01:03] ZykoticK9, whats that? google doesn't help? [01:03] Have Ubuntu maverick 64 bit on a machine with 4 GB of RAM. On a fresh install there was 3.9GB listed and some days ago it went down to 3.7. Where did the ram go? [01:03] oh ubuntu software center [01:03] Kapace, Ubuntu Software Center and in the menus there is the sources [01:04] ok thanks, that helps too [01:04] Kai696: Could you please rephrase that using complete sentences and proper punctuation? I can't understand your last comment at all. [01:04] Jordan_U then rephrase your question please [01:04] lucas_: see linuxatemyram.com [01:05] Kai696: Have you ever been able to use this drive in any other OS / machine? If so, can you still use the drive in said OS/machine? [01:05] wow! thanks greezmunkey! === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [01:06] lucas_: I take the softballs... [01:06] Jordan_U yes, but recently it suffered a crash due to MBR. We CAN use it in a laptop with a Live ubuntu disk.. the drive is pretty well gone however and I don't forsee it being able to be used in the future though.. I'm not a PC expert so I can't really say for sure though :P In the past, it WAS able to be used, then suffered a crash, and now isn't in short... >< wow I made that more complicated than it should have been lol sorry [01:07] what package installs/provides "stddef.h"? [01:07] Did grub.cfg replace grub.conf? I can't seem to find the file [01:07] !grub2 | rantic [01:07] rantic: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [01:10] Kai696: If the hardware is dying, and you have space on another drive to make a full image of the damaged drive, then I would recommend using GNU ddrescue (from the "gddrescue" package, *not* the "ddrescue" package) to make an image of the drive before doing anything else. [01:11] Jordan_U I can do that. [01:14] hmm [01:15] any reason my installs are hanging at preparing to install? [01:15] i'm thinking of installing ubuntu on my sony vaio, will I be able to watch blu ray and use the HDMI output? [01:15] gee0: check the disk for errors [01:15] Kai696: Do that then. If you're lucky, ddrescue will be able to recover the data from the mbr, and most of the rest of the block on the drive, and you'll be able to just mount the image and read files off it that way. If not, then I would first try rebuilding the mbr (of the image) with testdisk, and if after doing that you still can't mount the filesystem use photorec to recover as many files as possible. [01:16] switch10_, brand new machine [01:16] just got it today [01:16] Good evening folks! Q: Which virtualization option (MS-VirtualPC or VirtualBox on Win7-63 bit (i7)) would give smoother performance and hopefully faster one too? Thanks (I am thinking about a dual boot which I used to do vs. a virtual Ubuntu) Thank you [01:16] MUCH appreciated Joran_U [01:16] gee0, do you have caps in your username? [01:16] in my name? [01:17] look its zcat[1] [01:17] i dont follow [01:17] gee0: check the actual CD. [01:17] gee0, a user earlier this evening reported having the same problem and solved it by removing caps [01:17] switch10, usin unetbootin [01:17] Anyone want to help me troubleshoot a failed Kubuntu installation and try to get it working as a dual boot? [01:17] as its a netbook [01:18] Uh? [01:18] wedwo, i dont even get to the point where i can create a username [01:18] gee0: There is a bug that while the Ubuntu installer correctly prevents you from continuing if you enter a username with capital letters, it does not actually inform you that that is the reason it's not letting you continue. [01:18] how do i start ncurses? i installed it, but i can't find it anywhere on the web. [01:18] if you saw this you would do what?

[01:40] how is it? [01:40] i love android. [01:40] Can someone help me get amarok working in maverick netbook?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:40] whats the prob [01:40] ive used it since it was an RC [01:40] Anyone seen this during 10.10 install? "The partition /dev/sda1 assigned to / starts at an offset of 3072 bytes from the minimum alignment for this disk, which may lead to very poor performance." [01:40] kaie-, and it can be hit or miss depending on model of laptop and all, from what i've seen you don't know till you've tried if it will have any effect on the actual touchpad [01:40] relipse, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file shows where the /etc/hosts is on win machines [01:40] ok [01:40] cool Aemaeth im looking in there now [01:41] my ethernet is not working. I can't ping or access anything past the back of my box, since the last upgrade I made. I reinstalled network_manager, but then realized that'd probably do nothing at all. [01:41] lindenle amarok is basically a KDE application... why not Rhythmbox? ALSO there is a KDE netbook edtion..... [01:41] * Aemaeth wonders why no click while typing button does nothing [01:41] by upgrade you mean upgrade to new version what version? [01:42] iflema: what is the kde netbook edition? [01:42] Not upgrade, update, sorry. [01:42] hola [01:42] iflema: and how do I install it? [01:42] I'm using 10.10 [01:42] can I configure samba so that the family can access the external 1TB on my laptop but not have a login on my laptop? [01:42] Anyone seen this during 10.10 install? "The partition /dev/sda1 assigned to / starts at an offset of 3072 bytes from the minimum alignment for this disk, which may lead to very poor performance." [01:42] Bobshayd: So from 10.04 to 10.10?? [01:43] pbryan: What is your HDD? [01:43] lindenle are you aware of the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu? [01:43] No, diamondcite, I believe I had 10.10 this whole time. [01:43] iflema: yes [01:43] quietone: what about editing etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf ? [01:43] Diamondcite: ST9640322AS [01:43] why do i have to edit hosts files for windows [01:43] Bobshayd: So after a regular update network sharing is no longer working? [01:43] Someone help me figure out why the installation wont format a partition. [01:43] i see my sound doesn't work i'm not sure it worked before i didn't test my solution to my prob might to reinstall and if it works deselect certain updates, i know 10.00 series Ubuntu has network issues for sure what would before fails after upgrade to 10.00 [01:44] when installing ubuntu what comes after keyboard config [01:44] pbryan: I can't remember too well.. there used to be an HDD with a strange cluster size... [01:44] partitioning? [01:44] iflema: I only saw a netbook edition for ubuntu , but anyway amarok should work just fine (and did) before the recent update [01:44] relipse, don't know anything about that [01:44] Excuse me, is there anyway to take a empty nonformatted sda1 and add it on to a sda2 using GParted? (http://i53.tinypic.com/oktp9f.png) [01:45] so basically I installed some packages that I was prompted to install. [01:45] Bobshayd: Where is your box? Just 1 client in a larger LAN? [01:45] Bobshayd: Or is it the main box in a lan? [01:45] wow even upgrade failed for me it looks like i need to reinstall ubuntu [01:45] guess i'll be back possibly [01:45] It's one box in a pretty small network based around the house I'm in and a wireless router. [01:46] lindenle it *should*..... *cough* amarok is crap/bloated now *cough* [01:46] And that network is remembered but not actually findable. [01:46] cdoublejj_, whats wrong? [01:46] Bobshayd: So it's wireless trouble and not wired trouble? [01:46] cdoublejj_, can you boot Ubuntu? [01:46] iflema: yeah agreed but rhythmbox is ugly and does not do as well with my ipod [01:46] It's connected to the router by ethernet. [01:47] odd odd problems updates failed sounds fails and now it crashed during upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and the onl.y reason i was trying that was to fix sound s like reinstall is needed for sure [01:47] Bobshayd: So which is/isn't working? [01:47] cdoublejj_, wait [01:47] cdoublejj_, are you in the install now? [01:47] I believe everything outside of my box is working, and it can simply no longer actually connect to anything. [01:48] gee0: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" then the output of "dmesg"? [01:48] So either a driver or a configuration issue is keeping me from connecting to something, I think. [01:48] lindenle i gotta run... the KDE netbook does exist..... somewhere..... cant link ya at themoment sorry.... =) [01:48] cdoublejj_, we might be able to finish the upgrade process- if the upgrade was interrupted, we can use dpkg to finish configuring the packages and make sure youre up to date [01:48] Bobshayd: So this box can connect to the router but not the wireless network? Or wireless network yes, router no? [01:48] It's as if my box is totally unplugged but I'm pretty confident that's not what it is. I went down and checked and such. [01:48] I don't think it can connect even to the router. [01:48] ! [01:48] iflema lindenle http://www.kubuntu.org/ ...... [01:49] Got myself in a small bind on my to-be-headless 10.04 server - I booted holding Shift to get non-graphic GRUB to fix a problem, and now when I use 'sudo shutdown now' the box goes back to GRUB (non-graphic) and does not shutdown. Any ideas on how to 'undo' this? [01:49] Bobshayd: Network is enabled(trying the basics first)? [01:49] no i am at my desktop in 9.10 it has told me there problems during upgrade i left the upgrade un attened to come back to an empty desktop [01:49] I might be missing something that is obvious, like an unplugged cable. [01:49] any way to config gnome to turn off and turn on laptop monitor after no activity and turn on after key stroke of mouse movement [01:49] The network should be enabled, but since I only have one monitor between this machine and the one I'm trying to fix, it's a little hard to go back and forth [01:50] Jordan_U, [01:50] http://pastebin.com/P8rjVLTa [01:50] Bobshayd: Can you SSH into the box you are trying to fix? [01:50] Err I guess not [01:50] No. It shouldn't be SSH-enabled. [01:50] GSF1200S i really preferr 9.10 and lower i don't care for 10.04 casue it's slower if my sound still doesn't work after clean install then maybe 10.04 but, i'd like to have 10.04 with ext 3 file system is this possible? [01:50] xangua: thx, p.s. removing .kde fixed it [01:50] Okay.. I have to ask.. check the network port, is the network lighting up atleast? [01:51] xangua: can I apt install kubuntu netbook edition? [01:51] Bobshayd: The network cable light is controlled by hardware, is there a light on atleast? [01:51] It hasn't at all. [01:51] lindenle: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-netbook [01:51] Bobshayd: Maybe you can move the cable to another box to make sure the network cable is working? [01:51] SinI don' tknow what that means, in this situation, since it only lit up when there was activity over it, and there's pretty clearly not activity going on. [01:52] apparently i found a bug in parted [01:52] lol [01:52] in mountmanager is a mointpoint what you want it to show up as [01:52] Bobshayd: most network cards/ports have an orange and green light.. unlss it's one of those new one with only 1 light.. [01:52] Externally visible? [01:53] Bobshayd: Yes from the back of the case [01:53] Yeah, I think there is only one light. [01:53] I'm trying to fsck.ext4 and it says "device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1" [01:53] gee0: Could you file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug parted"? [01:53] Any help on making my 10.04 server NOT use 'non-graphic' GRUB - I needed it an hour ago and now it continues to not reboot but go back to GRUB?!? [01:53] Bobshayd: The fact that you only have 1 working monitor makes this difficult... [01:54] there are no mounts running in the background that are hung, and it is not mounted [01:54] jordan does this mean no ubuntu for me at this moment ? [01:54] davidm777: Could you rephrase your question? I don't understand what "NOT use 'non-graphic' GRUB" means. [01:54] Diamondcite: Yes, yes it does. === oracle is now known as oracle|lol [01:55] Jordan_U: I held down 'shift' while booting to enter GRUB so-as to do some recovery work. Now when I "sudo shutdown -r now" I am thrown back to the GRUB menu (vs. the box rebooting). [01:55] Jordan_U: Does that make more sense? [01:55] Bobshayd: I wonder if you do ifconfig on the other box do you see anything? Is eth0 and wlan enabled? If not check network manager itself.. strange for it to not connect unless it needs DHCP.. does network manager even TRY connecting when a wire is unplugged and then pluggged back in? [01:55] gee0: It depends on how much time you're willing to put into installing Ubuntu, and also why exactly parted crashed. The fact that an assertion failed suggests it may be something odd about / wrong with your disk. [01:56] Lemme check. [01:56] Excuse me, is there anyway to take a empty nonformatted sda1 and add it on to a sda2 (ext4) using GParted, how do i go about this? (http://i53.tinypic.com/oktp9f.png) [01:56] Any idea why ubuntu sees only 2.5GB of RAM when I have 3? This is a thinkpad T400... [01:56] maybe 32/64 bit issues? [01:56] please help me === oracle|lol is now known as oracle [01:56] hi [01:57] yhager: mose likely... [01:57] yhager: using 32 or 64bit¿ [01:57] i need help [01:57] davidm777: You want it to boot automatically rather than showing the menu and waiting for input? [01:57] what we discuss here [01:57] xangua, greezmunkey: using ubuntu 32bit. not sure what is the cpu here.. [01:57] during installation of ubuntu which im doing right now its stuck at the who are you im using 10.10 64-bit [01:58] i fill out all information and it shows checks but the forward is shaded out [01:58] ubuntu: Make sure your username doesn't have any capital letters. [01:58] How do I check if wlan and eth0 are enabled? [01:58] Jordan_U: yes (and no). If I hard-reboot the box, all is well. If I try to shutdown -r (command line), I get the GRUB menu. If I "sudo shutdown now" I also am thrown back to the GRUB menu (Recovery Menu in particular). === ludeboy_ is now known as ludeboy [01:59] melon: I don't think Primary partitions can be merged with extended.. what you can do is.. [01:59] If I use "sudo init 0" it works, though [01:59] davidm777: What do you *want* to happen? [01:59] melon: Shrink the un-used sda1 to the bare minimum and give the rest to SDA2 === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman === ludeboy is now known as ludebuntu [02:00] xangua, greezmunkey: yep, the cpu is 64bit. Does that mean I have to give up the last .5GB? [02:00] yhager: ooh i see, 2.5 is the true ram you have, remember when some one sells you Xgb of ram, hd, etc that is not the actual size [02:00] man. smuxi looks like shit [02:00] Diamondcite ah okay I will try that [02:00] oops wrong channel [02:00] anybody willing to help me [02:00] Jordan_U: since this is going to be a headless server, I'd like to be able to reboot remotely (SSH). If I do that now, the box will 'hang-up' in the GRUB Recovery Menu. What I WANT is for the box to reboot. === david is now known as Guest14606 [02:01] I have a simple question regarding upgrading an hard-drive with Ubuntu installed on it [02:01] davidm777: Ok. First, can you pastebin the current contents of /boot/grub/grubenv ? [02:01] anybody willing to help me! [02:01] wtf [02:01] please help ,e [02:02] how ignorant are you people [02:02] !attitude | Guest14606 [02:02] Guest14606: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [02:02] xangua: really? hmmm [02:02] hey, diamondcite, suggestions? [02:02] sorry jordan are you willing to help me [02:02] Has anyone ever succeeded in a simple "sudo cp -a /"? or am I just crazy to think about it? [02:02] KimLaRoux: you are crazy :) [02:03] Thanks, it's what I thought [02:03] Jordan_U: WOW! It's a huge run of pound signs (#)!!! About 20 lines worth! I'm assuming that's not a good thing! [02:03] Guest14606: Nobody can help you untill you actually ask a question. [02:03] Bobshayd: Too many lines I need to be highlighted =P ifconfig tells you what is up and not up, those with no ip is up but not configured [02:03] Bobshayd: you are trying to determinet if a network interface is up, available, or what? [02:03] is anybody in this chat willing to help me with ubuntu installation [02:03] davidm777: No, that's actually normal. [02:03] so like, why would it not work? [02:03] Guest14606, ask an actual question [02:03] I ran ifconfig and neither eth0 nor wlan were listed. When I threw in the -a option, eth0 was listed as well. [02:04] oops, sorry, diamondcite, forgot to highlight [02:04] during ubuntu installation i get stuck at the who are you page it shows checks by every field and it says ready when you are but i cant click forward [02:04] i wanted to test out Unity so I installed it, which pulled in a bunch of gnome settings that don't really translate well to a desktop machine. i've since uninstalled it all but my compiz settings were changed and i haven't figured out a way to reset both gnome and compiz settings back to the ubuntu desktop defaults...any know how? [02:04] KimLaRoux: cause not all "files" there are files, like /proc and /dev [02:04] Jordan_U: Huh - never looked into it. I see it's the same on my functioning Ubuntu desktop box! [02:04] Guest14606, make sure your username contains no caps [02:04] Guest14606: Make sure your username doesn't have any capital letters in it. [02:05] Bobshayd: Sounds like networking either isn't enabled or you disbaled it in wireless network [02:05] Guest14606: no caps as in previous posts... [02:05] Oh! Duh, of course... thanks for reminding me yhager [02:05] Bobshayd : type lspci [02:05] eh wrong one [02:05] bbl [02:05] Good evening everyone [02:05] huahuahua: Please do the helping hand I'm occupied ^_^ [02:05] davidm777: Since there is no "recordfail", if you reboot now it *should* bypass the menu and boot without any interaction. [02:05] aww dang =P [02:05] thank you so much god bless you [02:06] rkhunter is saying this: http://pastebin.com/Nhn2A293 ­ any ideas? I think it's because something is wrong with rkhunter... [02:06] ok, ubuntu one client, how do I restart it? I tried the ubuntuone-launch which shows no error, and I believe it isn't running. [02:06] is this a known issue? [02:06] Dont mean to sound religious but the help is really appreciated is there any way I can like rank you up as a moderator or something for helping [02:06] Diamondcite, once I shrunk the sda1 (i did to 8mb) what do I do next? I now I have this: http://i55.tinypic.com/2a8gn0k.png [02:07] foo, false positives happen from time to time [02:07] Why would it have been disabled in the first place? [02:07] Jordan_U: It *should* but it doesn't. I AM noticing some kind of error that 'flashes' on my screen just before going back to Recovery Mode. It goes SO fast I have no idea what's happening. But I do see some words in RED. Any ideas on that? [02:07] melon: Resize and expand SDA2? [02:07] Guest14606, no need, that's what this channel is here for [02:07] Jordan_U: or where I can look (logs?) to see what was flashed on my screen? [02:07] bazhang: I get a daily e-mail of this... do I have to tell rkhunter to ignore this stuff? [02:08] melon: I don't know if you can resize sda2, I have never tried that before. [02:08] Can anyone hel me with an install? [02:08] Bobshayd: Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that. [02:08] Jordan_U: Ok, even weirder. If I use "sudo reboot" it works just fine. If I use "sudo shutdown -r now" it 'fails' to the GRUB menu!?!?!? [02:08] foo, that is debian? [02:08] Can anyone hel me with an install? [02:09] KimCrawley: Please just ask the question and someone will help you if they could and know something [02:09] KimCrawley, ask a question [02:09] bazhang: yes, well, ubuntu [02:09] i use apt-get install wine but it asking for root [02:09] Jordan_U: Krikey!! It all works now! Now idea why or how, but I just ran "sudo shutdown -r now" and it worked! [02:09] I'm trying to install UNE on a netbook [02:09] foo debian 5.0.6 ? [02:09] So is 10.10 fully using upstart now? Or can you still use /etc/init.d/...?? [02:09] On the 'Who Are You' screen, I get 'ready when you are', but no forward button [02:09] bazhang: yup [02:09] Jordan_U: Thanks for hanging in with me on this. I was dreading that I would use shutdown and not restart some day and find myself hung! [02:09] KimCrawley, no caps in username [02:10] On the 'Who Are You' screen, I get 'ready when you are', but no forward button [02:10] no ideas on restarting ubuntuone? is it a daemon I can restart with sudo service ubuntuone restart??? I know that name doesn't work [02:10] foo try #debian as this is ubuntu support only [02:10] davidm777: It might still happen again if you don't figure out the root cause. [02:10] KimCrawley, see my answer above [02:10] can someone help me? i was using baobab to open a directory. now when I go to Places Menu, and click on Home Folder, instead of nautilus it always opens up baobab. how can i undo? [02:10] shane4ubuntu, tried #ubuntuone ? [02:10] Oh! You weren't refering to IRC! [02:10] Let me see here... [02:10] bazhang: uh, well... oh, wait, actually.. this is debian. heh, nevermind, ok [02:10] Jordan_U: True. Any idea where I find 'shutdown' logs? [02:10] KimCrawley, no username caps [02:11] bazhang, ahh, no didn't know exsisted! Thanks!!! === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:11] Okay, so how do I enable eth0 and wlan? [02:11] Diamondcite, found solution [02:11] Diamondcite, found solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604300 [02:11] Okay, so how do I enable eth0 and wlan? (Diamondcite) [02:11] Bobshayd, sudo ifup eth0 [02:11] davidm777: The reason that the grub menu doesn't timeout is that it has detected a failed boot. So when you rebooted it actually rebooted twice, the first time failed and so the second time the grub menu didn't timeout (to prevent an infinite loop and allow you to choose recovery mode). [02:11] Bobshayd, should be wlan0 [02:11] bazhang- thank you. [02:12] Bobshayd, check ifconfig to confirm they are there [02:12] okay, I will give them both a try. [02:12] bazhang- could you recommend a good IRC client for UNE? [02:13] Bobshayd: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [02:13] KimCrawley, not used it for a while; xchat irssi (cli only) quassel , weechat all come to mind [02:13] Jordan_U: Interesting. Makes sense. More.... it just 'detected failure' again after rebooting 4 or 5 times just fine. [02:13] Thank you guys. I'm never using a Windows OS ever again! [02:13] Having trouble creating a working USB boot drive for 10.10, cannot find information via google to help. Anyone car to give it a shot? I get the error "No configuration file found. No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" and it leaves me at the prompt "boot:" [02:13] crohakon, using unetbootin ? [02:13] Jordan_U: Back to my detective work.... does GRUB have a log file it uses? [02:14] i'd do: 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' '/etc/init.d/network restart' [02:14] sudo ifup eth0 [02:14] when I try to run a c language program I get the error No such Directory [02:14] bazhang, using "Startup Disk Creator" [02:14] ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [02:14] :( [02:14] davidm777: No. The only place that grub can safely write to is /boot/grub/grubenv, which is not large enough for logs. [02:14] crohakon, I recall a bug in that not being able to make them with maverick; I'd try unetbootin if it has not been fixed [02:14] Bobshayd: ifdown eht0 and THEN ifup eth0 ? [02:14] Will try it. [02:14] Jordan_U: Actually, is it even GRUB or is it something else that is 'telling' GRUB there was a failure? Another log file, perhaps, that I should be looking at (any ideas?). [02:15] Bobshayd, ifconfig shows only lo ? [02:15] plob [02:15] crohakon: What version of Ubuntu are you creating the USB from? Is it fully up to date?

[02:18] Bobshayd: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up NOT wlan [02:18] Seth`: chanserv did. [02:19] I'd like to see you do something. [02:19] Right, I thought maybe I fu- oops, screwed that up. Trying, and reporting back later. [02:19] davidm777: The way that the "detection" works is that before loading the kernel grub writes "recordfail=1" to /boot/grub/grubenv, then during boot /etc/init.d/grub-common clears this flag. Then at the next boot grub checks if recordfail exists in /boot/grub/grubenv, and if it does then that means /etc/init.d/grub-common was never run (usually because there was a boot failure). [02:19] Bobshayd, try sudo dhclient eth0 [02:19] I cant update Kindly help. My Internet is all correct [02:20] trying wlan first. [02:20] crohakon: If unetbootin doesn't work I can tell you how to set it up with grub2.

[02:25] darkkrai, #debian can perhaps help then [02:25] hello [02:25] airlynx: Ok, you or a script might have blacklisted it as part of configuring NDISwrapper. Try running "sudo modprobe ath5k".

[02:26] spectre^, try a live cd [02:26] Jordan_U, that command listed a warning that it needed a conf file related to ndiswrapper, blacklist-modem, and alsa-base [02:26] Jordan_U, unetbootin worked flawlessly.

[02:27] how to get keys from keyserver [02:27] researcher1, you need to input the appropriate ones as in that link from the bot [02:28] crohakon: but it depends on some compression software p7zip-full [02:28] in unetbootin when what's the difference between: ubuntu 10.10 live, and ubuntu 10.10 HdMedia [02:28] Jordan_U, I don't remember exactly, but I remember it was either because it was proprietary, or because it had problems, so madwifi was the default for that chipset [02:28] ?

I've got 5 drives in total... one is the OS which will stay the same. antoher 2 are in LVM which i want to put into a RAID, and the last two are blank wich ai want to put in raid too [02:30] airlynx: Could you pastebin the exact error? That's certainly not normal for a default install of 10.10. [02:31] Hi. Is it possible to create a virtual cd drive and burn a disc to it (then mount the drive)? [02:31] Ashfire908, what are you trying to do [02:31] Jordan_U, certainly, however this is an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 using the update-manager [02:31] Ashfire908, why don't yo just mount the ISO? [02:32] hello [02:32] uLinux, good evening [02:32] Hey, can anyone give me a hand with getting Evolution, gmail, and pop to behave nicely? [02:32] Ashfire908, you could.. cat /your/cd/location >> cd.iso ...then mount that ISO [02:32] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/mXGuw3Pz [02:33] blackbox, bazhang: I have a multisession Nero file, and I want to be able to access it. I tried converting it to an ISO but it looks like it didn't convert right. I'm out of discs and wanted to try to see if this was the cause of the issue I'm having. [02:34] Ashfire908, multi session neuro... I don't know, alot could have gone wrong there [02:34] Hm. I'm getting really choppy video playback ever since I upgraded to 10.10 (Intel MHD4500 card) [02:34] bazhang: I got this message "437D5B5" not a key ID: skipping [02:34] I had burned the converted ISO. It did not come out properly with data and audio tracks. [02:34] (On mplayer, totem and flash) [02:34] can I configure samba so that the family win machines can access the external 1TB on my laptop but not have a login on my laptop? How? [02:34] noamsml, with or without compiz enabled [02:34] I disabled compiz but it didn't help [02:35] bazhang: Both [02:35] Ashfire908, doing what I said coulnd't hurt... cat the cd into an ISO file, then mount the ISO and see if you can access it... but i don't know [02:35] I don't have the CD! [02:35] noamsml, what's 'lspci | grep VGA' show? [02:35] researcher1, that was an example only; paste.ubuntu.com the exact error message and give us the url [02:35] You have got to be kidding ME! [02:35] airlynx: OK, those should not have prevented ath5k form loading. It should now show up when you run "lsmod | grep ath5k". [02:35] pionar: "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)" [02:35] bazhang: ok [02:36] Ashfire908, huh? you just have the neruo file?? then cat the neuro file into an ISO then mount the ISO... same solution [02:36] Jordan_U, yes, lsmod | grep ath5k works now and I have wlan0 (and wmaster0???) listed in iwconfig [02:36] I used UNetBootin and the install was working great... but just got the "errno5] input/output error" [02:36] airlynx: Try connecting. [02:36] Ashfire908, I don't think it'll work though [02:37] hey guys in a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 the colors on videos i watch are all weird like blue is red and red is green how can i fix this. it only happens on videos everything else is fine [02:37] blackbox, Mainly because that idea is broken on so many levels. [02:37] Jordan_U, I have nothing to connect to right now, but I'll try it out later, will I have to run that modprobe command everytime I boot up now? [02:37] Hi all, I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu Server on a VPS, is there a program I can run on my desktop that will configure the server in a gui? [02:37] desktop running Ubuntu too [02:38] Nero cd file != ISO file. catting the file would be the same as copying it. The format it's in is a propriety format for the Nero burner. [02:38] noamsml, there are some known issues with Intel integrated cards, there's some articles out there to help, google the information you got from lspci with "ubuntu" and you should find some help [02:38] airlynx: Untill you remove the blacklist, yes. To figure out what config file is blacklisting ath5k run "grep ath5k -R /etc/modprobe.d/". then edit those and comment out the blacklist, or in the case of /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper you may want to remove the file entirely. [02:39] hi [02:39] hey whenever I go into suspend my mouse doesn't come back, I ctrl+alt+F1 and F8 back it comes back, did they ever find a fix for that? [02:39] Why am I using ssh, but wireshark doesn't even show anything at interface list? [02:39] airlynx, it's /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [02:40] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519024/ [02:40] Jordan_U, thanks, found it and I'll test it out with a few reboots [02:40] Ashfire908, it soulc then allow you to mount that file as a 'fake' cd ... any anyway being wrong on so many levels is fine with me since I haven't installed crap software managing my cds [02:40] airlynx: You're welcome. [02:40] Ashfire908: Perhaps nrg2iso can be used for it? [02:41] researcher1, please post the original error message, not the one about fixing the gpg error [02:41] pionar: ath_pci != ath5k. [02:41] Should I bother creating a swap area on a netbook? [02:41] Diamondcite, I used that and burned to a disc. The disc did not come out as a multisession disc. [02:41] anyone? [02:41] crohakon, how much ram and do you wish to hibernate [02:41] blackbox, I'm not using any cd managing software. [02:41] Ashfire908: As far as I know.. ISOs are SINGLE session [02:42] hi i just installed vista on a ubuntu partition and when the computer loads up i get a diskerror press enter to restart [02:42] i press enter and it takes me to grub loader [02:42] 'lo all [02:42] Diamondcite, That would most likely be why it failed. I was unaware it was a multisession disc when I started. [02:42] im confused, did vista install properly and i need to adjust the grub or did vista fail? [02:42] horsenounaway, vista problem then? [02:42] well i thought maybe it was a grub loader problem [02:42] Ashfire908: When desperate you can always try nero for linux... [02:42] Hi all. [02:42] Horse... vista did not install properly. You need to create an NTFS partion and install it on that. [02:42] horsenounaway usually you install windows then linux [02:43] Ashfire908: Though it would be best to stick with other apps normally... [02:43] ah ok thanks [02:43] Jordan_U, my bad [02:43] anytime [02:43] Diamondcite, I have it (trial). That's how I confirmed it's a multisession disc. But I have no CD-R/RWs, so...

[02:45] bazhang, yeah, thats what -pae does :) [02:45] justupgraded, then it would not show smp [02:45] condorito - should be something like ufw allow udp 6880-6889 [02:46] justupgraded, whats the kernel out put look like [02:46] 2.6.35-22-generic-pae #35-Ubuntu SMP justupgraded like this?

[02:48] can someone help me please? [02:48] Hey I am installing ubuntu right now, but my partitioner cant find my windows 7 install on my ssd, [02:48] does anyone know what I should do [02:48] justupgraded: ah!

[02:53] AkivaLivecd1, if you are trying to use a physical cd/dvd to install from, if you don't pick *anything* that it can boot from vbox will prompt you for what you want to use for boot media [02:53] obs3rv3r: i've been using pop for over a year and when I tried IMAP I didn't really like it. Can I get it to behave just like pop does in evolution? [02:54] endersbean3k1: if you configure your email client to leave the messages on the server you can use multiple email clients. [02:54] AkivaLivecd1: Windows can't boot from GPT, so if you have windows installed you probably aren't actually using GPT. [02:54] endersbean3k1: But using multiple Email clients for POP is what I not recommend. [02:55] endersbean3k1: oh wait! You can have your gmail configurd to keep messages on the server [02:55] endersbean3k1: if that is what you were looking for. [02:55] justupgraded: not using vbox, [02:55] obs3rv3r: yeah that's what i just tried to do [02:55] obs3rv3r: actually both email clients are / were configured to leave email on the server, but they were not [02:55] What does this mean, please? ERROR: "Need 'to' or 'from' clause" [02:55] obs3rv3r: email would only download to one client, and not appear on the other [02:55] endersbean3k1: You mean they downloaded the emails?

If so, do you know why you appear to have GPT signatures? [02:57] AkivaLivecd1: What do you mean by "sounds about right"? [02:57] endersbean3k1: Yeap it does so. [02:58] obs3rv3r: should i just delete all my mail, redownload it all, and then leave the 'enable pop for all mail' checked? [02:58] endersbean3k1: There was a trick for that though. You had to do something with the All Mail folder I forgot. [02:58] can someone give me a suggestion for a ubuntu program? [02:59] endersbean3k1: Your mails are in inbox and in the All Mail folder too. That is the reason you are having dups I guess. [02:59] obs3rv3r: i don't see an all mail folder [02:59] Jordan_U: I just did a fresh install of 7, formatted the drive, and I am following up with this install, I dont believe there should be a partition table on my drive except the 200 mb 7 put aside [02:59] endersbean3k1: on your gmail click the more button [02:59] AlanMeta: you mean to use, or to create? [02:59] where are modules to be loaded listed? [03:00] obs3rv3r: oh all mail in gmail [03:00] is tehre some way i can HIBERNATE this thing? [03:00] obs3rv3r: i was looking in evolution [03:00] Is anyone here? [03:00] AlanMeta, glchess [03:00] AkivaLivecd1: What did you have installed before windows? [03:00] AlanMeta, transmission [03:01] I like Ubuntu. [03:01] Jordan_U: I had an efi bootloader from iatkos, and a ubuntu install with a grub 2 [03:01] AkivaLivecd1 to use, I want to edit a remote server from a local install ubuntu [03:01] sky__, do you have a question about ubuntu? [03:01] sky__, otherwise you might try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:01] No,thaks. [03:02] AlanMeta: you should run virtual box, and then run a remote desktop within that of your host computer [03:02] hi I installed ubuntu onto my mom's old powerpc computer and its great till now.... firefox segfalts when ever my mom tries to play scrabble online @ pogo.com someone HELP she is yelling at me that I can't seem to fix the problem... [03:03] it might destroy time and space, but it also might show you the meaning of life [03:03] obs3rv3r: all mail seems to say what folder the emails are in, suggesting that they aren't actually duplicated in all mail [03:03] Gcc is my favorite. [03:04] AkivaLivecd1: OK, so you were previously using gpt. Windows obviously doesn't deal with gpt very well because it letf the gpt label there when it repartitioned with an msdos label. [03:04] endersbean3k1: I had a similar case with my Thunderbird some while ago. I had to do something with the All Mail folder that I forgot. But that was in IMAP.

[03:04] Using GCC must be a lot more fun than using VC. [03:04] ShapeShifter499, maybe try a different browser, see how it fairs? [03:04] sky__, please, wrong channel for that [03:04] endersbean3k1: Gmail doesn't use folders. It uses labels. Which is different from folders. Had it been folders you would not be downloading emails from folders other than the main inbox. [03:04] sky__, it's a great idea though :) [03:04] greezmunkey, no chrome for powerpc systems right? === ArchDemon is now known as Guest74360 [03:05] ShapeShifter499, the powerpc is running linux now [03:05] ShapeShifter499: it's just a browser...

[03:06] obs3rv3r: you can add them but i want my kernel to mount the partition /dev/sdc1 [03:07] and the newer versions of firefox stopped supporting older java tech like the IBM java I installed [03:07] CAN YALL SEE MY MESSAGE? [03:07] AkivaLivecd1: Fist try installing "gdisk" (you'll need to enable universe first to do it from the LiveCD) and see if you can remove the old gpt label. If that doesn't work then yes, I'd zero the first meg of the disk then start over installing windows. [03:07] ShapeShifter499, i'm processing. [03:07] aborticide: I am not sure but I guess you can't do that with vbox. [03:07] Jordan_U: cool beans, thanks, you made my day~ [03:07] w3 yall sez u. [03:08] AkivaLivecd1: You're welcome. [03:08] <[Bain]> how do i tell the system updater to stop updating the kernel ? [03:08] ShapeShifter499, you could try installing pyscrabble. not sure if you can play against the computer. i'm going to try yahoo games in chrome now [03:08] Having trouble running compiz standalone. Following this guide. http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/2827/howto-run-compiz-as-a-standalone-window-manager/ [03:09] still no joy with opening a port for incoming connections (preferences in "Transmission"). Says "Port is Closed". Dunno what's going on. [03:09] ShapeShifter499, are you saying you already tried chrome and it doesn't work? [03:09] ShapeShifter499, what kernel version are you using? [03:09] seidos: there is no powerpc version of chrome [03:10] seidos: kernel is 2.6.32-24-powerpc [03:10] ShapeShifter499, so you're saying the linux version won't run on ubuntu on your powerpc? [03:10] ??? [03:11] Anyone ever got that to say Port is open in Transmission torrent? Just curious, please. [03:11] seidos, I'll repost my question [03:11] *REPOST* hi I installed ubuntu onto my mom's old powerpc computer and its great till now.... firefox segfalts when ever my mom tries to play scrabble online @ pogo.com someone HELP she is yelling at me that I can't seem to fix the problem... [03:11] Condorito: yes, portforward.com will tell you how to open a port in your router. [03:12] i'm wondering if someone can ping my ip - also there is a web server on port 80 same ip [03:12] ShapeShifter499, maybe you should tell your mom to stop yelling at you. [03:12] ShapeShifter499, Switch Distributions to something that is PPC friendly. [03:12] obs3rv3r: ok, the first two emails have no label in 'all mail' (they're the emails you get when you sign up for gmail) but they still duplicated... meh i'm confused [03:12] bastidrazor: Thanks! [03:12] seidos, thats not helpful [03:12] seidos, :P [03:12] ShapeShifter499, Ubuntu has stopped supporting PPC for awhile. [03:12] hello, gnome-do entry in my Gnome startup applications list is disabled and is inactive so cannot be enabled. What does that mean? How can I enable it? [03:12] HermanDE, what do you suggest? [03:12] bazhang, people shouldn't yell over silly things :( [03:12] ShapeShifter499, I think Debian still supports PPC. [03:12] HermanDE, whatever it is, it has to have java [03:13] seidos, support here, chat elsewhere [03:13] obs3rv3r: should deleting all my mail, checking the 'enable pop for all mail' and redownloading it work? and then will i be able to access it from another client without them interfering? [03:13] for the game [03:13] seidos: lol! [03:13] hi [03:13] obs3rv3r: or how about this, is it a problem if i use IMAP on the second client and have Evolution continue to use pop? [03:13] ok so I guess there is no program to do what I want.... [03:13] ShapeShifter499, Shouldn't be a problem. [03:14] Debian fully supports PowerPC. [03:14] It will be a bit of a task. But most Ubuntu should work fine in the transition. [03:14] HermanDE, ya but the ubuntu I have installed is community supported and updated, and its not the OS its firefox.... its giving me a segfault when the browser tries to load the game [03:15] HermanDE, and the weird thing is that it has just been recently doing this [03:15] ShapeShifter499: The first step would be a reboot of the system, and then check to see if it still screws up. [03:16] ShapeShifter499, firefox has specific dependancies in the OS. [03:16] i set auto log-in & it worked fine....then suddenly it started telling to select language & hit ok.....can anyone help? [03:16] Tim2009: tried that and this has been doing this for a while now [03:16] If the dependancies are not met, Firefox will fail. [03:16] ShapeShifter499, Does the game require Flash? [03:16] Ubuntu is a fork of Debian. [03:17] ShapeShifter499, Debian has been community supported since 1995. [03:17] HermanDE, I can browse websites like google and stuff but it segfaults at the game... which requires java [03:17] ShapeShifter499: Have you tried removing/reinstalling Firefox yet? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:18] Tim2009, yes [03:18] ShapeShifter499 have you tried upgrading your java? [03:18] ShapeShifter499: Have you done any hardware-level checks, such as verifying that you RAM is accessing correctly? [03:19] ShapeShifter499, Java may require specific libraries that are no longer supported by Ubuntu. [03:19] ShapeShifter499, Which version of Java are you using? [03:19] ShapeShifter499, I'll bet that that specific version has compatability problems with the OS. [03:19] I tried to copy my evolution folder from one cpu to another, but still missing the account details, emails are there, and so are contacts, but not account setup stuff, where is that hiding? [03:19] HermanDE, as far as I know the latest one that is powerpc compatible from IBM [03:20] That doesn't mean that it's compatable with the OS you have installed. [03:20] HermanDE, its IBM not Sun Java [03:20] ShapeShifter499, Yes, you said that. [03:20] hye [03:20] ShapeShifter499, What is the minimum version of X for that specific version? [03:20] oh, nevermind, I found them [03:21] ShapeShifter499, What is the requirement for the Audio ..... ALSA/PULSE/OSS and versions. [03:21] heya fellas [03:21] HermanDE, um I'm not really sure [03:22] ShapeShifter499, .... Just found the PowerPC ports of Ubuntu.... Which version are you running? [03:23] ShapeShifter499, Didn't think Ubuntu had anything that support powerpc. [03:23] ShapeShifter499, anymore. [03:23] HermanDE, 10.04 [03:23] ShapeShifter499, Couldn't even guess the problem. [03:24] ShapeShifter499, Try and run firefox from the console. [03:24] HermanDE, ya its community supported.... people somewhere keep it updated for powerpc... canonical(or what ever company is behind ubuntu) don't [03:24] hi guys, so i finally got ubuntu installed on my netbook [03:24] HermanDE, I did thats how I know its segfaulting [03:25] did all the updates [03:25] ShapeShifter499, lots of things in the Open Source world is Community Supported... :( [03:25] and did the nividia driver [03:25] ..oops....:) [03:25] HermanDE, ? [03:25] ShapeShifter499, What specifically is Segfaulting?

It will poop a lot of info. And will slow Firefox to a crawl. [03:29] welp guess I'm gonna remove nvidia-current [03:29] ShapeShifter499, But it might offer more info as to what happens before the segfault.

[03:29] for sure ^^ [03:29] I have a canon ip1700 but when I plug it in it days that downloading indexes failed and then the driver isn't listed among the offline drivers... What should I do?

[03:30] |GaiJin|: sudo service network restart, or /etc/init.d/networking restart ... [03:30] gee0, The best solution I've read about is to go to version 180/190.... [03:30] I suppose I'm screwed too if I wanna do 1080p out my hdmi [03:30] gee0, Or do a manual nvidia install. [03:30] how would one go about doing that? [03:31] gee0, This is a soft point for Ubuntu... QA right after a release. [03:31] gee0, although with manual install you would have to first disable or "blacklist" nouveau driver [03:31] gee0, There is a great article at ubuntulinux.com concerning using the official Nvidia drivers.

[03:51] tortoise, And that each service has it's own problems. [03:51] tortoise, So, a good starting place is to learn about how the DNS system works. [03:51] !info virtualbox-ose | Rob235 [03:51] Rob235: virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 8847 kB, installed size 31396 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 lpia all) [03:51] tortoise, Then follow up with how EMAIL works. [03:51] HermanDE, well its try something else > try making it a server(media, file, whatever) > try to sell it> then trash it I guess [03:52] earthshade: select a different server/mirror than the one already selected, perhaps for a different country === aaroncantfigureo is now known as sfasdfasdf [03:52] gurpreet, i have also tried a post on adding lines to xorg.conf in etc/x11 but no luck [03:52] Herman, do you have any links that could get me started? [03:52] ShapeShifter499, Not too many people want to download files from a 10MiB ethernet connected server. :) [03:52] Like, in one forum says to paste this: options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 And in Ubuntu page tells me to paste this: options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL [03:52] So I do not know what to do [03:52] tortoise, poke around tldp.org. [03:52] hey does anyone know of an alternative to paratrace on ubuntu? [03:53] all, in NBE, where do I click to get the most recent updates for 10.10? [03:53] HermanDE, I have a fast connection, and the server would be personal anyways [03:53] ShapeShifter499, The funny part of the story is that a guy with most of his front teeth missing saw me taking the boxes to FreeGeek (goodwill for the techies).... [03:53] not familiar w/ the Unity interface. [03:53] master what is paratrace¿ [03:53] Foolishowl, thanks, I'll check it out. [03:53] ShapeShifter499, And his eyes lit up.... [03:53] tortoise, if you can get access to Safari Online, there are lots of good books available. My public library offers full access for free; perhaps yours does as well. [03:53] justin21212, after you change xorg.conf you need to log out and log in [03:54] ShapeShifter499, I told him that they were old and not very usable. [03:54] HermanDE, xD [03:54] ShapeShifter499, He said he knew a computer guy... And would love to sell them. [03:54] thanks herman it worked [03:54] ShapeShifter499, I waved good buy... With a slight tear in my eye. [03:54] gurpreet, the file doesnt exist all i see is xorg.conf.failsafe and it is read only [03:54] hmm [03:55] gurpreet, am i missing a viatal ide of loging in as root? [03:55] most webcams can detect motion? [03:56] Can anyone help me assess an apparmor 'DENIED' statement from my /var/log/kern.log? [03:56] HermanDE, out with the old IN WITH THE SHINY NEW CRAP :D [03:56] justin21212, to get root access you can use sudo -s [03:57] first tell me what card do you have [03:57] HermanDE, well thanks for the help [03:57] hello [03:57] ShapeShifter499, Wish I could help further. [03:58] wassup Midnight, [03:58] ShapeShifter499, Might want to email the maintainer for Firefox on Ubuntu. [03:58] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics [03:58] Anybody here [03:58] john38, Nope. [03:58] does anyone know the irc channel that get get some help with thunderbird? [03:58] john38, Anybody left awhile ago. [03:58] Someone knows how to make my wirelles work? HP notebook [03:58] HermanDE you are funny [03:59] HermanDE, you know why top panel icons sometimes move to left or right of each other [03:59] hey [03:59] does anyone here translate gnome? [03:59] HermanDE: um im having partition problems again i got the program but I dont understand how to use it [03:59] john38, Did you lock them to the panel? [03:59] hello everyone [03:59] david_, Did you boot the gparted cd? [03:59] just wondering if i can be heard. i dont have a logon on freenode [03:59] hi [04:00] justin21212, give me a min [04:00] bugger sounds like i can't be heard [04:00] joan, In the intertubes... Only electrons can be heard screaming.... [04:00] oh woops no I just got it from the software center [04:00] Another question, what are some practical uses for Samba? The practicality of linux has really been confusing me. [04:00] HermanDE, their always locked sometimes the shutdown icon is to left of etho icon when computer boots up [04:00] joan, Try and scream now... I might hear you. [04:00] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on [04:00] HermanDE:ok it seems i can be heard :P [04:00] gurpreet, i have been working on this for the last 23 hrs i go tnothing but time [04:00] joan, Was that you screaming just now? [04:01] HermanDE: i was wondering where i would get help about thunderbird [04:01] hey can we chat in private its a bit crowded here [04:01] david_, Download the ISO. Burn the CD. Boot the computer with the Cd. Now you can manipulate all of the datastructures on the hard drive. [04:01] HermanDE, could it be power problems [04:01] ty [04:01] every time i try to send to a group in my address book i get an error and it inserts duplicate currupted emails into my address book [04:02] tortoise, samba is useful for file sharing and printer sharing in a network with Linux and Microsoft computers. === dw_ is now known as dw- [04:02] FoolishOwl, so if I'm pretty much the only one in my house that knows how to use a computer, it's essentially...not very useful? [04:02] tried thunderbird on freenode though no ones there [04:03] tortoise: extra time with family <3 [04:03] joan: try the mozilla's irc network then [04:03] lol family [04:03] tortoise: ubuntu's got your back, see [04:03] joan, A better place to check is irc.mozilla.org [04:03] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on, can someone help? [04:03] john38, Not to sure how they could be moving... [04:03] ok thank you alot. wasn't aware they had their own [04:04] tortoise: yea, there's always something technical that goes wrong .. so knowledge is kind of required.. perhaps it will get better in time, but im thrilledwith it having exp myself [04:04] john38, doubtful that it's power problems... Unless your desktop changes are not saving before the reboot. [04:04] <92AABFNC7> hello i need some help [04:04] HermanDE, how do you add a panel again? [04:04] hello [04:04] dw-, true true. And it's always fun having to solve problems [04:04] what help? [04:04] dw-, pretty sure I ran into every problem that exists when I was trying to dual-boot ubuntu and vista :P [04:05] john38, right click on the bar... select "new panel". [04:05] tortoise: good times.. good times.. [04:05] HermanDE, noh lets say you want to add a panel not add to panel [04:05] <92AABFNC7> i'm trying to change the permission of a file but i'm not root and i can't figure it out [04:05] I also need a help... [04:05] <92AABFNC7> could some one help [04:05] I have a HP 1035 netbook [04:06] why does canonicle just dump support for things months or just a year after it's made [04:06] 92AABFNC7: think man, if root owns it you cant change it [04:06] it's like thye want linux to be used more widley but, then shoot them selves in the foot [04:06] Windows file sharing (samba included) requires at least 20 gallons of coffee and about 300 hours to become an amature. [04:06] stuff gets dumped before it gets a chance [04:06] i'm so frustrated right now [04:06] HermanDE, sounds like I know what I'm going to do now. [04:07] the both, easy peasy or ubuntu netbook 10.10 don't work wireless in pendrive live... why? [04:07] 92AABFNC7: you have to be root, so do sudo su - [04:07] john38, again... Right click on the bar. Select "New PANEL". [04:07] 92AABFNC7: then be careful ! ;) [04:07] HermanDE, ok sorry [04:07] Any links to get me started with Samba. ps, I'm googling as well. [04:07] tortoise, Do you have other windows systems available? [04:07] tortoise, samba.org [04:07] hermanDE, only vista, but two pc's with it installed [04:07] <92AABFNC7> thanks bro [04:08] dw-: 92AABFNC7: There is no reason to use su, just use sudo with chmod. [04:08] hi all [04:08] somebody can me answer? [04:08] tortoise, As long as you don't need to worry about authentication... Not a problem. [04:08] I got a bad update and now my ubuntu is broken. Is there a way to reinstall without having to put a new cd or usb ? [04:08] Is anyone here familiar with the Unity interface on NBE? I [04:08] HermanDE, yeah, that won't be an issue [04:08] gah. i got Connection failed. Error: Connection refused [04:08] I'm trying to do an update. [04:08] !install > kpoman [04:08] kpoman, please see my private message [04:08] dw-: Please don't recommend that people start a root shell when it's not needed (which is almost always). [04:08] ?? [04:08] sandro_, What is a "pendrive live"? [04:09] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on, can someone help? [04:09] anybody can see me here? [04:09] the problem is some packages are broken ... can I just reinstall them ? [04:09] GSF1200S i einstall still no sound i'm trying a regular upgrade to 10.04 maybe i will have sound then [04:09] Some of my windows have the proper control theme loaded but the majority of them do not. Does anyone know why? [04:09] How do you do an update on 10.10 NBE in the Unity interface? [04:09] I have Compiz enabled [04:09] bye [04:09] sandro_, Nope. Nobody can see you. [04:09] It's really bugging me =( [04:09] kpoman, It's your system... Sure. [04:09] hi [04:10] hernande, tell me about my problem with HP netbook and easy peasy [04:10] I think there is something wrong with the window manager. The desktop icons aren't right either [04:10] sandro_, what is a "Pendrive live"? [04:10] ok [04:10] HermanDE: yep... the do-release-update did not calculate well the free space needed ... then it failed, leaving an incomplete update... now stuff like libc6 I think is broken [04:10] is there a way to share a remote desktop on demand or initiated by the user sharing the desktop but he doesnt have a public IP, but the supporter does? [04:10] it's a LIVE CD in a pendrive [04:10] pendrive boot [04:11] kpoman, shift to console and use/learn the apt tools. [04:11] sandro_, Ubuntu pendrive? [04:11] http://goput.it/47j.png - anyone know how to fix the mIRC icon? [04:11] look at www.pendrivelinux.com [04:11] Help! Anyone here familiar with with NBE and the Unity interface? [04:11] yes [04:11] I [04:11] Hrimfaxi: why would you need to mess with a mirc icon in linux? that's a windows app [04:11] ubuntu or easy pesy [04:12] they 're the same [04:12] HermanDE: I am on console. but I want to see what fails. What is the command line to launch synaptic for example ? because the synaptic dies unexpectedly ... [04:12] sandro_, This is an ubuntu root. [04:12] I'm trying to get the latest updates after a newly installed NBE on a Dell Mini 9? [04:12] bluefox83: without mirc he cant run hamster ereet [04:12] kpoman, use aptitude. [04:12] kpoman, or apt-get [04:12] dw-: say what? O.o [04:12] bluefox83 - I don't really like xchat much..lol [04:12] bluefox83: nevermind, im old i guess [04:12] Hrimfaxi: try bitchx or irssi [04:12] sandro_, What is the kernel version? [04:13] when I use Linux Mint 7 pendrive boot no problems with wireless [04:13] sandro_, What is the wireless card you are trying to use? [04:13] alright [04:13] I don 't now about wi card [04:13] hey, my right click has stopped working, I am on a fresh install of ubuntu. It also stopped working when I was installing [04:13] sandro_, Are you using Ubuntu 10.10? [04:13] has anyone seen this problem? [04:13] sandro_, or 10.4 [04:13] yes, ubu 1010 [04:14] Ok, what is the kernel version? [04:14] sandro_, What is the kernel version? [04:14] sandro_, What does lspci show for the wireless? [04:14] I only make the download [04:14] sandro_, Or is it a USB wireless? [04:14] no actualization [04:14] sandro_, I make poo... [04:15] sandro_, switch to the console [04:15] sandro_, type in "lspci" [04:15] sandro_, look for the wireless device. [04:15] lspci [04:15] ... *my left click stopped working [04:15] sandro_, Yes. [04:15] now the netbook is OFF [04:15] Akiva: usb mouse? [04:16] I 'm in a desktop [04:16] hi. ive php5 installed on a recent ubuntu system, pdo-mysql, gd is installed. yet it doesn't seem to be activated. where would i do that? thanks a lot for a quick hint on that. [04:16] greezmunkey: usb wireless [04:16] I 'll sleep now [04:16] thank you hernande [04:16] jvm_, /etc/php5/apache/php.ini? [04:16] hey all [04:17] I 'll try [04:17] nervous I'ma lose my data since upgrading to 10.10 [04:17] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on, can someone help? [04:17] ok [04:17] jvm_, that's from my Debian experience.. :) might be slightly different. [04:17] Gunni, have you rebooted. [04:17] ? [04:17] jvm_, but there is usually something under /etc/php?/ [04:17] HermanDE, how do i show internet etho icon on top panel [04:17] HermanDE, i actually copied the php.ini in that location from a debian server i am running, where gd is working fine. [04:18] I'm sitting in Windows 7 needing to fix my GRUB loader to get into my 10.10. What to do? Anyone? [04:18] jvm_, why did you do that ? [04:18] john38, Add a new gadget to the panel.... right click on the panel.... add to panel.. Select the networking toy. [04:18] iasher: did you install using wubi? [04:18] jvm_: Did you restart apache after installing php5-gd ? [04:18] iasher: boot cd and choose fix grub [04:18] iasher: you have a usb or cd/dvd installer? [04:19] jvm_, that *may* not have been a good idea. [04:19] jvm_, it would also be useful if you described how you installed apache2 mysql & php5 on your ubuntu server [04:19] Akiva: yikes. Oher than removing the usb/bluetooth device, and plugging it back in I don't know. [04:19] I have no CD, I used Update Mgr [04:19] airtonix, the php.ini from ubuntu was...lost after reinstalling php on that system which was necessary after an update from an older ubuntu version. [04:19] jvm_, most distros are slightly different. Specifically in how things are setup in the /etc directory. [04:19] HermanDE, add a new gadget? [04:19] iasher: burn one :/ [04:19] airtonix, the ubuntu system is my desktop, installation with apt-get. [04:19] john38, sure. [04:19] jvm_, ... never version upgrade on mission critical servers [04:19] HermanDE, theres no networking icon in add to panel [04:20] nickmoeck, yes, i restarted. [04:20] If your on 9.04 on Ubuntu Server, how do you dist-upgrade to 10.10? [04:20] jvm_, you now need to go through all your conf files and work out if they are no longer needed or if they are interferring with the new binaries [04:20] airtonix, the ubuntu system we are talking about is my desktop system, and in no way critical. [04:20] john38, I've got it... "Network Monitor". [04:20] john38: add network monitor to see traffic, and add Notification Area for etho related [04:20] Is burning a CD the only solutioN? That means another 3 hours downloading the program via Windows. CRAP. [04:20] john38, Might have been an addition that I installed. [04:20] jvm_: sudo apt-get install --reinstall php5-common [04:21] iasher: use vista boot menu theres a program i forget the name [04:21] jvm_, to be honest if you've done a upgrade from a previous version of ubuntu then you can expect all sorts of hilarity if you didn't purge the old confs files [04:21] iasher: try EasyBCD [04:21] ilovefairuz, didn't change anything with the module activation problem. [04:22] airtonix, And lots of sleepless nights wondering why the nothing is working on the server..... [04:22] AlanMeta: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; then sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10. Restart. sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade 9.10 to 10.04. Restart. sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal . sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade 9.10 to 10.04. [04:22] greezmunkey: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/637208/comments/6 [04:22] jvm_: did you generate a php.ini file by yourself? [04:22] . jvm_ I just downloaded that, not sure what to do with it [04:22] fixed [04:22] sorry, last one is 10.04 to 10.10. [04:22] iasher: you have to add a menu item for the ubuntu partition [04:22] ilovefairuz, the php.ini file was copied from a working debian system. [04:23] pksadiq, where is network monitor? [04:23] john38: in add to panel isn't it there? [04:23] Ahh. I did notice it recognized the partition. afraid to mess with it lest it become lost. [04:23] pksadiq, no [04:23] jvm_: what ubuntu version are you running? [04:23] is virtualbox 3.2.8 in repo one that officially supports osx or do i need 3.2.10 [04:23] ilovefairuz, 10.04 [04:23] john38: right click on panel> add to panel> (tried?) [04:23] iasher: its just a link really it wont modify anything [04:24] iasher: then update the MBR [04:24] pksadiq, network monitor isnt there [04:24] jvm_: check /usr/share/php5/ [04:25] damn. i wish i knew things. like what MBR stood for. and other acronyms, like SOS, which some ppl eat for brkfast. [04:25] ilovefairuz, there are php.ini-production files. should i use them? [04:25] jvm_: yeap [04:25] iasher: MBR is just the place the comp looks on bootup. so when you make a grub menu or BCD menu you have to write it there.. and might see a warning, cuz its all serious [04:26] john38: gnome-netstatus-applet [04:26] ilovefairuz, after copying the production file to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and restarting apache, a search for "gd" in my phpinfo() output still shows up nothing. [04:27] So, i'ma run blahblahblah, find the ubuntu loader, select it, and update MBR? Damn, I think I did that. I'm still getting 'no mldr' or something, and a white screen. [04:27] pksadiq, type that in terminal [04:27] jvm_: sudo service apache2 force-reload [04:27] iasher: youre in windows with easybcd not using grub/ubuntu loader.. youre usign the bcd loader to boot the ubuntu partition :) [04:27] ilovefairuz, i used the init script itself, but still no change ;) [04:28] john38: locate for that file, it I think in /usr/lib diroctory, and run it [04:28] iasher: you'd have to reinstall grub once you get booted up [04:28] iasher: ifyou want [04:28] jvm_: what's in /etc/php5/conf.d/ ? [04:28] ilovefairuz, nothing. [04:28] AAAAHH! I-C! Then on reboot it will load, or immediately. I understand there's a common problem with the upgrade and a config file replacement will repair it. [04:29] iasher: thats another story g/l :p [04:29] Damn, 10.10 best be worth all this. I thought the Linux struggle was at an end. [04:29] But if it was, why bother?! ;) [04:29] ilovefairuz, thanks for that idea. [04:29] john38: might be, I feel it's not installed on your system , in terminal do sudo apt-get install gnome-netstatus-applet [04:29] ilovefairuz, on the debian system there are a number of files for the different plugins, apparently. [04:29] ilovefairuz, give me a minute to copy them and try again. [04:29] thankyouthankyouthankyou. [04:30] jvm_: sudo apt-get purge php5-gd; sudo apt-get install php5-gd [04:30] damn, I've forgotten every IRC convention I ever knew. I ain't IRC'd since before Perpetual September. [04:30] is it a bad idea to use my 10.04 home folder in 10.10? [04:30] is there a way to clean it up for 10.10? [04:30] pksadiq, its not there [04:31] pksadiq, ok [04:31] ilovefairuz, thanks a lot! that did it. [04:31] iasher, funny, I was just reading about Eternal September. [04:31] jvm_: you're welcome [04:32] I'm just gonna sit and read for a minute 'cause this is so cool. Yeah, I remember when there were thousands, not millions, online. And I'm not that old, really. [04:32] ilovefairuz, have a nice day. also thanks to airtonix and HermanDE. [04:32] AOL destroyed the Net. === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [04:32] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on, can someone help? [04:32] pksadiq, it wont open [04:34] john38: in terminal did you do sudo apt-get install gnome-netstatus-applet [04:34] pksadiq, yeah [04:34] All right, I'm gone. Going to dive in and either crash and burn or repair and soar. Any last quick words on how to repair the GRUB once I get the Ubuntu partition mounted? [04:34] john38: now go to add to panel and select, if it's not shown there reboot your system and so [04:35] is 10.10 kind of sluggish? [04:35] hello, gnome-do entry in my Gnome startup applications list is disabled and is inactive so cannot be enabled. What does that mean? How can I enable it? [04:35] pksadiq, ok its new diffrenet from previous one [04:35] Lucid [04:35] KanchanTwoPointO - not for me.. [04:35] john38: what does it mean? [04:36] anyone got freeNX to work properly on maverik? [04:36] pksadiq, huh [04:36] pksadiq, i accidently deleted top panel [04:36] pksadiq, trying to get all icons back in right order [04:37] GNG FTW, Thanx All! [04:37] john38: wow, not a problem, if you know to reverse it back ;) [04:37] pksadiq, its not quite exactly the same as before [04:37] john38: and so did you mean the mobile broad band? [04:38] john38: if so you need not had to do so and so, just select Notification area from Add to panel [04:38] pksadiq, shutdown icon is red instead of white with black background [04:38] ok my ubuntu boots so fast I can't get into grub to modify one option, I tried pressing esc within the first 3 second and still can't. Help? [04:38] pksadiq, lol damn cool [04:38] hold shift [04:39] john38: the shutdown colour is just based on theme, I feel [04:39] disappearedng: while just the booting starts pree and hold SHIFT [04:40] press* [04:40] SHITF? [04:40] pksadiq, the shutdown and user switching not the same [04:40] Oh [04:40] they should say that in the freaking docs ! [04:40] disappearedng: SHIFT key [04:41] yeah k thx [04:41] john38: and so when you click shutdown in panel does it pop out ther a menu, or does a window open and asks what to do, which happen? [04:42] pksadiq, opens and askd what to do, no menu [04:42] john38: before it was menu? do try add Shutdown from add to panel [04:43] pksadiq, huh i added to panel [04:43] pksadiq, theres no menu [04:43] I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on an nVidia graphics card and after the update, I let dpkg reemove unnecessary stuff. Now I am forced into booting in the terminal. [04:44] hey all. i use ps3mediaserver to stream movies to my ps3, and i'm having issues with certain movies. looks like the best plan is to compile ffmpeg, x264 & mplayer by hand - i do that, but when i go to install ps3mediaserver, it still thinks i don't have mplayer installed... [04:44] but i should. [04:44] I try to run something and I get "Error: no display specified" [04:44] tiox, are you running it from the terminal on your local workstation or SSH'd into another? [04:44] john38: add indicator applet session [04:44] Local. [04:45] I have no GUI, running as myself. [04:45] i.e. Not in root right now. [04:45] tiox: nvidia? [04:45] How can I make metacity the default?? [04:45] Yep. [04:45] just start it with the system? [04:45] How? [04:45] It loads into terminal. [04:46] RedSingularity: change visual efects to none [04:46] pksadiq, ok cool got it [04:46] I am running it from shell right now, not from GUI. [04:46] !nvidia | tiox [04:46] tiox: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:47] pksadiq, just for future reference how do i remove network etho icon [04:47] is there a channel dedicated to dsniff [04:47] john38, killall nm-applet [04:47] john38: right click on the icon, and remove from panel [04:48] pksadiq, it doesnt have remove from panel option [04:48] airtonix, thanks [04:49] john38: if you get the menu of the applet, then you must see a small parellel lines left and near to it, right click there [04:50] john38, you understand the difference between the applet "Network Monitor" and the icon that lets you change network interface ip addresses and so forth ? [04:50] airtonix, yeah [04:50] john38: k, hear airtonix , I'll back , I have to go for a while for shopping ;) [04:50] john38, ok so if you simply right click it and remove from panel, then that removes the entire notification tray, since it is a "child" object of the notification tray... not it's own gnome applet. [04:51] anyone ever deal with mplayer-mt or ffmpeg-mt? [04:52] airtonix, ok i killed nm-applet how do i get it back [04:53] pksadiq: Ok that will do thanks [04:53] john38, nm-applet [04:53] airtonix, i went to Notification area it only shows two parrell lines [04:53] airtonix, ok cool [04:53] john38, also, i think if you kill nm-applet it also cuts off your network connections...can't remember for sure though [04:54] airtonix, i think it depends if they're configured in /etc/network/interfaces or not... [04:54] arrrghhh, yeah in that case nm-applet wont start. [04:55] (unless you run it with sudo i think) [04:55] oh really? shows what i know :P i'm used to using the -server edition... [04:55] anyone know how to browse a psp on ubuntu [04:55] airtonix, ** (nm-applet:3316): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 [04:55] wow on 10.10 after installing the recommended sony nvidia driver my screen failed. I am now in safe mode in command and how could I uninstall the nvidia driver in command prompt? [04:55] john38, ignore that, also your're better off running it by using the "run dialog window" : 1) press alt+f2 2) type nm-applet [04:56] airtonix, still doenst popup [04:56] Evenin' everyone [04:56] clear === meta__ is now known as rantic === islington is now known as Islington [04:57] john38, in terminal pastebin the output of : ps -fe | grep nm-applet [04:57] !pastebin > john38 [04:57] john38, please see my private message [04:58] so anyone? ps3mediaserver? ffmpeg-mt or mplayer-mt? [04:58] airtonix, http://paste.ubuntu.com/519082/ [04:58] disappearedng: i googled for you. per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481887 : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; select "nv" for the first screen and hit enter until it's done.; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start; and it should let you back in X. [04:59] john38, that shows that nm-applet was either run by root on start up and has not died, or you ran it with sudo. you need to kill it : sudo kill 3348 [05:00] dw- that's dated back to 2007 is it still reliable? [05:00] disappearedng: g/l [05:00] john38, although i'm not sure why it would be run by root ... [05:00] clear [05:00] airtonix, now what [05:01] john38, confirm it's not running and run it with the "run dialog window" [05:01] airtonix, how do i confirm [05:01] john38, ps -fe | grep [nm]-applet [05:02] airtonix, http://paste.ubuntu.com/519085/ [05:03] hey someone, i disabled the mousepad on my laptop with FN+F7, and it doesn't work turning it back on, can someone help? [05:03] john38, and it's still not showing up in the panel ? [05:03] does anyone here translate gnome?

[05:04] juboba: gnome is an os why would you need to 'translate' it [05:04] airtonix, nope [05:04] juboba: rather its an xserver or whatever :) [05:05] dw-, gnome is not an operating system. [05:05] gnome is not an os [05:05] dw-: gnome is a desktop environment [05:05] Gunni, it won't re-enable after a reboot!?! [05:05] i knew id get s* for that. [05:05] I'm a translator [05:05] no [05:05] and need help [05:05] dw-: and you need to translate it so that non-english speakers can read it [05:05] maco: right right [05:05] arrrghhh reboot or button doesnt work [05:05] Gunni, there isn't a button to turn it on & off? do you have another OS insatlled? [05:05] i'm chinese [05:05] no other os [05:05] just ubuntu [05:05] s/insatlled/installed/ [05:05] john38, next thing to do is to create a test user and login with that to confirm the applet works for other users [05:05] Gunni, not sure. you're completely up-to-date? 10.10? [05:06] juboba: gnome has their own irc server at irc.gimp.net [05:06] yes [05:06] airtonix, ok i got i add to panel notification area [05:06] juboba: i suspect you could find the other translators there [05:06] john38, good stuff.

[05:59] dpkg error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/avialable' near line 33753 === Guest49358 is now known as sentry [06:00] Dr_Willis: useful [06:00] can anyone tell me how to find the save files for minecraft.. [06:01] how would i go about it? [06:01] maikusan: Ctrl-H in your home folder its prob hidden [06:01] Ctrl-H in GNOME file manager, look for .minecraft. ls -a in Terminal. [06:01] specifically, they're saved in ~/.minecraft/saves/WorldN, where N is the slot number. [06:03] How Logical :) [06:03] My screen keeps going intermittently black and then reloads, it just started doing this, I've 6 days uptime. It seems to be triggered by launching expo mode in Compiz. It seems to trigger when I do expo over chrome. I have checked my logs though and x isn't giving any indicators, nor has syslog or kern [06:03] Maahes: Power-saving mode? [06:03] rww all terminal does is say XXXX is a directory [06:04] maikusan: ~/.minecraft/saves/ is a directory. the WorldN may also be a directory. if it has files under it. [06:04] dw-: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! That thread solved my problems! :-) + 10^12 internets for you! [06:04] spinningcompass, no, power saving mode only engages when I'm on battery [06:05] is it possible to choose which packages to install while installing ubuntu? [06:05] and its only the VT with chrome in it [06:05] gMinuses: not that ive ever seen. [06:05] gMinuses, the closest you can get is doing server or minimal and building from there. [06:05] gMinuses: they have simpilified the installer so much. Thats not really an option these days [06:05] I have a Dell Inspiron 1546. The usb ports do not work even with clean install. lsusb shows nothing. I cannot find a fix on the net. Any ideas? [06:05] gMinuses: or remaster your own. [06:05] I want to find the times that I've booted my system recently. I assume i can do that by looking at the system logs. Where should I look, and what should I look for? [06:06] When I start my Lucid computer it does no longer provide network access. '~$ route' displays only the headline. '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' does provide network access but no Avahi access. How to get again automatic network access when starting Ubuntu? [06:06] maikusan: What command are you using? [06:06] or, what are you trying to do? [06:06] Dr_Willis: Maahes: that's too bad. a lot of package is unnecessary to me.. [06:06] one more quick q....how to make files unhidden in home folder? [06:07] gMinuses: i rarely bother to Uninstall anything. :) [06:07] gMinuses, Minimal is generally a pretty good one to build off of. [06:07] maikusan: anything with a . at the start of the name is considered 'hidden' [06:07] i did "ls ~/ .minecraft/saves [06:07] maikusan, ctrl+h [06:07] i saw the file [06:07] !cli | maikusan [06:07] maikusan: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [06:07] bingo thanks guys === MashTomato is now known as MashPotato [06:08] maikusan: theres no space after the ~// [06:08] gMinuses, You could probably do a minimal install and then use dselect. [06:08] maikusan, and the next time you use the cli, its ls -a to see hidden files. [06:08] maikusan: also use TAB key to compete paths/filenames in bash. it saves a lot of efforts [06:08] Dr_Willis: I really want to make my pc clean, just can't help. :) [06:08] alright. I'm at a lovely site that, when I try to x out of it, it prompts me with a "Do you really want to leave this site?" type message, and I have no idea how to get rid of it in linux. [06:08] huh... I am still having troubles with this darn windows 7 boot entry into grub 2... [06:09] unperson: dselect is deprecated. you may be thinking of tasksel. [06:09] is there any way I can just delete my entire grub, and start from scratch? [06:09] Maahes: unperson: thanks guys, I'll try to install from a minimal install. [06:09] Akiva: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc 'might' help. [06:09] tortoise: add a 'force quit' button to your toolbar [06:10] Akiva: using that 40_custom file i pasted earlier. should add a lot of entries including one for windows7 [06:10] I read something about a grub rescue disk too [06:10] in ff or on the desktop? [06:10] gurpreet, im bad [06:10] ? [06:10] tortoise: ubuntu toolbar [06:10] back? [06:10] gMinuses, Sounds like maybe tasksel is the modern equivalent. [06:10] tortoise: desktop w/e [06:11] what's the cli command for it? [06:11] gMinuses, I haven't used anything like that in a long time, but I remember installing Debian and choose which software I wanted with dselect. [06:11] Dr_Willis: I used only part of it, should I have just pasted the whole darn thing? The partition is sda1, [06:11] Maahes: i just boot the cd and use the menu there should be a grub option if i recall [06:11] rww, Good to know. I haven't used anything like that since back in the pre-Ubuntu days. [06:12] Hi here is silly doubt how to setup how much lines to scroll in mouse scroll wheel at a time? [06:12] Akiva: you can edit the file how you want. Windows7 for me was on the 2nd partition of sda. sda1 was the special windows boot partition. booting either of those worked to get me tinto windows. the 3rd windows partition was the restore partition here. [06:12] tortoise: just scroll down to default offers [06:12] Hi. How do I convert from FLAC to PCM/ [06:12] *PCM? [06:12] dw-, scroll down where? [06:12] tortoise: Add to panel... scroll down [06:12] Because am tird scrolling long pages [06:12] unperson: I just installed opensuse the other day, and it supports choosing packages to install. So i'd really like ubuntu to have this feature. [06:12] tortoise: right click on toolbar xD [06:13] Dr_Willis: I'll give it another try, but are their not some unique addresses on their? [06:13] Akiva: you used that 40_custome, and no entries for win7 appeared? [06:13] they did, but they would not boot [06:13] got it lol. [06:13] unperson: I'm checking Tasksel out. [06:13] gMinuses, Remember Ubuntu is pretty closely focused around ease of use, so I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. [06:13] Akiva: its possible that one line is using the UUID of the partion/filesyste, [06:13] But for future reference, would you use the kill command for that? [06:13] Akiva: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2a0e335e0e3321ed [06:13] tortoise: yup [06:14] that was what I was thinking [06:14] Akiva: these entries are what update-grub generated on my Win7 laptop. I dont have another win7 machine. [06:14] Hi here is silly doubt how to setup how much lines to scroll in mouse scroll wheel at a time? please help me [06:14] dw-, alright thanks [06:14] gMinuses, It's just not a feature that is probably widely desired. If that's up your alley, would suspect Debian might suit you better. To a large degree there's not that huge a difference between Ubuntu and Debian. [06:14] ah, can I just delete them dr_ [06:14] check with the blkid command. make entries that use the other uuid;s of your setup i guess [06:14] ok, thanks [06:14] I have a Dell Inspiron 1546. The usb ports do not work even with clean install of 10.10. lsusb shows nothing. Any ideas? [06:15] riPPerMD: they work on the live cd? have they ever worked with any linux? [06:15] gMinuses, Personally, I just figure the normal install is mostly stuff I want, and then I can always apt-get remove stuff I don't want. [06:15] unperson: OK, may be I should install Debian. but can I add ppa source to Debian? [06:15] no the live cd produces nothing, they worked 9.10 [06:16] riPPerMD: havent tried in 10.04 eh? [06:16] no [06:16] gMinuses, You've got me. I really haven't used Debian since before Ubuntu existed. [06:16] Dr_Willis: sda1 does not show up on that list, it is my windows install [06:16] riPPerMD: you could check the modules loaded with 9.10 and compare to the ones in 10.10 perhaps a module is not getting autoloaded properly [06:17] gMinuses, You probably can't use the Ubuntu ones with Debian (or well, maybe you can but it's probably asking for conflicts). But there may be equivalent stuff for Debian. [06:17] Akiva: after editing the 40_custom you have been doing a 'sudo update-grub' ? [06:17] ok I will check that and as well test in 10.04 [06:17] unperson: It's OK. I will find that out myself. Thanks for your help. [06:17] Akiva: which list are you refering to? [06:17] thanks [06:17] Dr_Willis: yes. blkid, it gives me only my ext4 and swap uuid [06:18] Akiva: that may explain the whole problem then./ Its not seeing your windows drive. does 'sudo fdisk -l' show it? [06:18] alright, I forcequit ff, but when I opened it back up it just brought up all my old tabs, so the site is still there [06:18] is there any way I can forcequit only one tab? [06:18] Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot install VMware player on ubuntu 10.10 please? [06:18] !vmware [06:18] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [06:19] Dr_Willis: yes, it shows sda1... but sda1 according to my disk util is standing in the middle of my partition [06:19] ah ty :D [06:19] gMinuses, Right. Certainly you could ask around in #debian [06:19] where as this says it starts at block 1 [06:20] im both happy and sad they have a macro for people who cant figure out VMware [06:20] wait... err [06:21] Akiva: you did do fdisk -l /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 (common mistake) [06:21] unperson: two more quick question: does apt-get remove completely removes everything relates to that package? will it leave garbages? and how do I find all packages used by a certain piece of software? I tried to remove all packages contains phrase "evolution" and I was prompted that gnome-desktop would be removed too. [06:21] I bought HCL ME with Windows7 i formatted and installed UbuntuNetbook my wifi is not working how can i proceed to work i tried to connect my secure wifi but its not connecting. [06:21] I've got this site open in ff, and it's not letting me close. It just keeps prompting me with a "Do you really want to leave this site?" message. I've forcequit ff, but it saved the tabs, so it's back. Not really sure how to get rid of it in Linux :/ [06:21] Akiva: windows7 for some reason installs often with a little bit of enpty hd at the front/rear of it. it also often installs with windows own version of a boot partition. [06:22] gMinuses: it asks sometimes to remove unneeded stuff [06:22] Dr_Willis: yah, it cannot open /dev/sda1 [06:22] gMinuses: use the System Package Manager [06:22] how can i find the driver to install for the wifi ? [06:22] Hmm, forum is faster than This channel, getting answers within a very few minutes/seconds :) [06:22] so i am new to linux ubuntu and need help with a sound problem [06:23] Nevermind, I'm just going to add the site to the hosts file, and then forcequit ff [06:23] i have looked on the forum [06:23] can anyone help me to configure my netbook for wifi ? [06:23] Akiva: you could pastebin your fdisk -l output --> 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' [06:23] rajmahendra, First try this, Connect to the internet using ethernet, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:23] !sound [06:23] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [06:24] maahes: sure let me try [06:24] dw-: is System Package Manager the same thing as Synaptic? [06:24] Actually, before that [06:24] rajmahendra, [06:24] gMinuses: yea [06:24] http://pastebin.com/7Ewp3E4E [06:24] gMinuses, apt-get remove will not remove some files, containing settings and things I think. But apt-get purge will [06:24] Connect it to the Internet, then go to Administration, Hardware Drivers [06:24] Dr_Willis: wow, I am learning really useful commands here :P [06:24] ^above rajmahendra [06:25] gMinuses, In the info for a package you can see which packages are dependent on that package. [06:26] gMinuses, You can definitely see that in Synaptic. [06:26] in general you want to be using aptitude rather than apt-get [06:26] aptitude has dependency conflict resolution. [06:26] dw-: that's what I did. I want to remove evolution, so I search for "evolution" in synaptic and selected all installed packages whose names contain that phrase and it turned out that gnome-desktop would be removed too. [06:26] gMinuses: hehe :) [06:26] gMinuses: thats just a meta-package [06:26] gMinuses, gnome-desktop may just be a meta-package. [06:27] unless you are REALLY short on space.. I wouldent bother uninstalling all that stuff. [06:27] gMinuses, this is correct, gnome desktop includes exolution, install xcfe if you want a gtk-based DE, and don't want gnome and its dependencies [06:27] gMinuses, Meaning it may not actually install anything, it's just a placeholder that depends on a bunch of other things. So that by installing that you'll install all those things at once. [06:27] unperson: Thanks, I didn't check package dependence. Will do that in the future. [06:27] or go for a DE (like AwesomeWM) that doesn't include any large dependencies [06:27] lubuntu-desktop is getting very well done these days also. [06:28] gMinuses, It should say in the package description if it's just a meta-package. [06:28] lubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop all metapackages that pull in th full XXXX desktops [06:28] Dr_Willis: Maahes: so is it ok to remove gnome-desktop? It won't uninstall gnome itself? [06:28] gMinuses: thats how meta packages work. [06:28] how come Ubuntu shows 3.9GB ram when i have 4GB installed [06:28] hello [06:28] with 64 bit [06:28] gMinuses: presumably, you tried to remove evolution-data-server. evolution-data-server is a core part of GNOME and not really what you're thinking of when you think of evolution. [06:28] gMinuses: really tho.. You are worrying too much about Uninstalling stuff. [06:29] !info evolution-data-server [06:29] evolution-data-server (source: evolution-data-server): evolution database backend server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.30.3-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 527 kB, installed size 1540 kB [06:29] yay storage databases, and all that. [06:29] hi folks i have a question [06:29] Dr_Willis: yea, I guess that's a bad habit. [06:29] If I remember correctly, all of evolution apart from e-d-s can be removed without removing ubuntu-desktop. [06:29] gMinuses, um, technically aptitude won't remove them if you're very careful but aptitude may *want* to remove them when you run an upgrade command. === james is now known as Guest58573 [06:30] I don't know if they've changed that behavior in recent builds, but thats the way metapackages have worked for me since Dapper. [06:30] gMinuses: my FUlly loaded ubuntu system here. the / is still under 10gb. [06:30] when someone has time maybe you can help me [06:30] bekor: just ask [06:30] MetaPackages are a bit of a work around method of doing what they want.. theres potential issues with removeing them [06:30] rww: you are right. I did try to remove them. so they are developed by evolution but not relate to the email client? [06:30] Maahes: Default behavior for aptitude, amongst other package managers, is to mark the dependencies of a metapackage it's removing as manually installed, and thus not remove them. [06:31] Maahes: it's some setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ [06:31] gMinuses: as I understand it, it was developed for evolution and is now used by gnomish things in general. [06:31] thank you do you know how to update from ubuntu 10.10 to super OS 10.10 in the terminal or do i have to download a OS [06:31] john38: for manufactures, 4 GB = 4000 MB, but in ubuntu= 1 GB = 1024 Mb, might be that's the reason, you might find the same in Hard disk too [06:31] bekor: SuperOS isn't supported in this channel. [06:31] hi [06:32] Maahes: I didn't use aptitude, I use apt-get, I guess synaptic use it too? [06:32] can some one teach me how to change my DNS settings so i don't get redirected by wififee? [06:32] do you know wher i could go [06:32] rww, huh, I remember aptitude telling me it wanted to uninstall 200 packages or so when I last did it, but wait, you're right, I've removed evolution and thus gnome-desktop and I'm still using gnome [06:32] pksadiq, john38: RAM is sold in 1024 units, not 1000 ones. [06:32] bekor: it is recommended you stay on ubuntu [06:32] gMinuses, in general, you probably want to use aptitude. Synaptic uses aptitude in its back end [06:32] bekor: last i checked superos was just a LOT of added packages.. check the SuperOS web site. or the OMGubuntu or webupd8 web site. i recall them mentioning superos pacakges in ubuntu befor [06:32] i thought super OS was ubuntu? [06:33] bekor: It's one of the many derivatives of Ubuntu that aren't officially supported. [06:33] mmm, can anyone help me? [06:33] bekor: its a ubuntu variant. its not an official ubuntu variant [06:33] I'm trying to change my DNS settings so that i don't get redirected by wififee [06:33] bekor: theres proberly a dozen other 'variants' we can name that are also NOT supported officially here. [06:33] rww: actually kilo =1000 and mega= 10^6 mathematically, but only computer based ones use kilo as 1024 etc [06:34] rww: Got it. I will try to not remove them the next time. Thanks [06:34] pksadiq: I'm aware. This doesn't change the fact that RAM is sold in base 2 units, not base 10 ones. [06:34] thanks so,if i look at what is in super os i guess i could just install the same stuff from the soft where thingy right? [06:34] Maahes: OK. I will try aptitude the next time. Thanks. [06:34] rww: k [06:34] bekor: thats the basics of it. from what i googled at -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/easily-install-google-earth-teamviewer.html [06:35] can some one help me change my DNS settings so that i don't get redirected by wififee? [06:35] thak you [06:35] john38: What's the output of uname -a? [06:36] i guess my question is too noob here, i'll go post on the forums instead [06:36] aphelion: you can set the dns you want to use in your conection configuration (network manager) [06:36] aphelion: google nameservers ubuntu [06:36] aphelion: <3 [06:36] thanks, let me try that [06:36] why wait for forums/irc [06:36] network manager = network tools? [06:37] apelgate: you could edit the /etc/resolv.conf [06:37] but that may get reverted by the network-manager :) [06:37] I have no idea what WiFiFee is. [06:37] Dr_Willis: you mistabbed [06:37] proberly. :) [06:37] pesky h, I'm guessing [06:37] * Dr_Willis enlarges his fonts More... [06:38] aphelion: : you could edit the /etc/resolv.conf [06:38] Dr_Willis: microscope? ;) [06:38] pksadiq: old age... default font size for me is now like 13 [06:38] Dr_Willis, trying to find out what to edit it to [06:38] and people want Ubuntu to start defaulting to 8 instead of 9... :) [06:38] also googling nameserves as we speak [06:39] Dr_Willis: hmm, k do you know who is IdleOne ? [06:39] aphelion: any dns servers you like.. googles are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 I belive [06:39] pksadiq: not really [06:39] aphelion: might want to add the keywords wifi and/or manual [06:39] pksadiq: Sarah Palin's speechwriter? [06:39] Dr_Willis, i set those googles ones in network tools, but they still give me problems when i am trying to authenticate to a hotel's internet service [06:39] Dr_Willis: so apparently you know ? [06:39] aphelion: really that file should be created when you connect ? [06:40] aphelion: but somehow you got another entry put in there... dunno [06:40] spinningcompass: who is that?????? [06:40] aphelion: set to your router local ip [06:40] aphelion: maybe [06:40] pksadiq: Any particular reason you're asking? [06:41] aphelion: your router can have its own dns server entries also. [06:41] rww: no, not really, but he just seems like to be a magician here in this channel, that's why [06:41] <_Zaphod_> okay. i've got a challenging question. :) [06:41] pksadiq: He's one of #ubuntu's channel operators, yes. [06:42] rww, Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:42] <_Zaphod_> I have a persistent USB 9.04 installation. [06:42] _Zaphod_: ? [06:42] Dr_Willis: he said yesterday it doest happen on another comp on same network :s [06:42] <_Zaphod_> i wish to make this installation run off a HD. :) [06:42] rww: WOW, k [06:42] Dr_Willis, i get this http://pastie.org/1244353 in my resolv.conf [06:42] <_Zaphod_> as if it were installed by wubi. [06:42] <_Zaphod_> (and increase the r/w loop, btu that's the easy part. [06:42] Hello any one please tell e how to define howmuch lines to scroll on using scroll wheel of mouse in ubuntu [06:42] <_Zaphod_> how the heck do I do that? the windoze hard drive is NTFS. [06:43] john38: Alrighty. The -generic kernel on 32-bit Ubuntu is limited to 4GB of total memory, including memory in things like your graphics card. Therefore, the total amount of RAM it can see is going to be somewhat less than 4GB, hence the 3.9GB. [06:43] !pae | john38 [06:43] john38: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [06:44] rww, sorry wrong machine [06:44] rohith_, go to Profile Preferences -> scrolling [06:44] in gnome-terminal [06:44] <_Zaphod_> is it really as simple as doing a frugal install and then repalcing the r/w loop? [06:44] set it to anything you like [06:44] <_Zaphod_> wit the one from my usb stick? [06:44] rww, its 64 bit maverick on 4GB machine [06:44] profile preference what is that? [06:44] gurpreet: profile preference what is that? [06:45] gurpreet: i want to set it universally not just for terminal i want it when reading pdf and browsing web to scroll fast [06:45] <_Zaphod_> i have a specific reason for wanting to actualyl place this particular persistent install onto a hard drive. [06:45] yes [06:45] gurpreet: not just one or two lines per scroll [06:45] sorry typed in a hurry [06:45] <_Zaphod_> instead of just using wubi normally. [06:46] <_Zaphod_> any ideas? :) [06:46] gurpreet: hurry ?;) [06:46] i eat my rice and curry [06:46] :P [06:47] rww, so wait a minute hold on you telling me i can install more than 2GB on this machine to 3 or 4GB just by using PAE [06:48] gurpreet, doesn't that only affect gnome-terminal? [06:48] how do you get removable dribe shortcuts to not shpow up on the desktop? === magus_ is now known as Devrethman [06:48] yes i know [06:48] sorry about that [06:48] I know a way to set the mouse scroll globally but it involves editing xorg [06:48] john38: assuming your hardware supports PAE, yes [06:48] rohith_, you can do it in xorg.conf [06:49] there's no easy way to reassign it in gnome, for very stupid reasons [06:49] /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install doesn't work ... [06:49] but you need to be carefull with that [06:49] john38: I looked up the reason why Linux doesn't show absolutely all of your memory even on 64-bit systems a while ago, but I'm having trouble finding it again >.> [06:49] gurpreet: by the way how can i create a xorg file in my home directory so dat changes will effect only on my profile [06:49] rww, im not on the other machine so i cant tell you the uname -a [06:49] rohith_, specifically under your mouse settings in xorg.conf add the following: Option "VertScrollDelta" 6 [06:49] rww: last i recall looking that up - it was due to reserved space used by the hardware devices on the pc. [06:50] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:50] dw-, Dr_Willis, sorry to bother you again, but the DNS changes in both network tools and etc/resolv.conf isn't preventing the redirects [06:50] <_Zaphod_> right. memory mapped i/o... [06:50] Maahes: thanks mahes can u please tell how can i create xorg conf file in my home folder [06:50] it will effect all apps and not only your current user [06:50] aphelion: ive no idea what your redirects are, or how it works. so not a lot of suggestions from me. [06:51] they were the same instructions on google's website for dns servers too [06:51] aphelion: check router config [06:51] rohith_, gurpreet just gave it out [06:51] dw-, how do i do that? [06:51] :) [06:51] aphelion: browse to your router ip [06:51] gur [06:51] aphelion: 192.168.x.x [06:51] gurpreet, s [06:51] hey justin21212 [06:52] Hey I know that xorg.conf doesn't exist anymore but then I have to use Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" to fix my screen brigthness problem, my current laptop's display config works... how do I export the settings I am using now to xorg.conf (Currently using autodetect) [06:52] hi all [06:52] whats up [06:52] <_Zaphod_> i gues no one has any idea what to do about my problem, huh. [06:52] dw-, is it ifconfig in terminal? [06:52] anybody know how to hardcode subtitles with mencoder in a language other than English? anytime i try to hardcode in korean, it gives me a bunch of symbols [06:52] aphelion: no you have to browse to your router [06:52] Dr_Willis: 130MB of it? That seems like a lot. [06:52] aphelion: in firefox [06:52] I am trying to make cd that will boot ubuntu 10.04 in no usb bios support pc [06:52] rww: Just 130mb? that seems trivial compared to some amounts ive seen slurpped down. [06:53] hello [06:53] rww: ive seen 512+MB befor. [06:53] I must say , I don't know why it hang up on mount ext3 [06:53] <_Zaphod_> 1) I have persistent USB Ubuntu. it's 9.04 I installed some applications onto it that were a royal pain to get to the state they are in now. [06:53] Dr_Willis: heh [06:53] I read also that grub2 has usb boot support? [06:53] dw-, i'm behind a hotel router so i'm not sure i can do that [06:53] drcode: grub2 can boot my USB hd's or iso files even.. its rather nifty. [06:53] * Maahes is on persistent USB ubuntu as well, its suprisingly very useable [06:53] <_Zaphod_> I hve decided that USB flash drives are too slow, and wish to run this off the internal hard drive instead. :) [06:53] aphelion: lol [06:54] aphelion, .....are you trying to subvert the hotel's paywall? [06:54] dw-, the reason i ask is because my windows parition doesn't have this problem [06:54] Dr_Willis, [06:54] how? [06:54] I did grub rescue [06:54] drcode: how to what? [06:54] Maahes, no, whats happening is that my hotel requires an authentification through the browser [06:54] how I can do it with grub2 [06:54] anybody know how to hardcode subtitles with mencoder in a language other than English? anytime i try to hardcode in korean, it gives me a bunch of symbols [06:54] I do insmod uhci [06:54] and the dns redirect is preventing me from getting to the authentification page [06:54] _Zaphod_, i have an old ipod 30gb hdd 2.5" that runs a very fast LDAP server via liveusb [06:54] but it dosn't see the usb storage [06:54] paywall fail [06:55] so its forcing me to authentificate in windows before going back to my ubuntu parition each time [06:55] I will like to use grub if it can do it [06:55] aphelion, poorly configured hotel payway. [06:55] hello i installed nvidias latest driver successfully but what can i do to install x-server config file [06:55] ? [06:55] paywall [06:55] aphelion: go bang on the door of the tech guy playing wow in the basement [06:55] Dr_Willis, did u do it? [06:55] Maahes, i see, why is it that my windows works? [06:55] anybody know how to hardcode subtitles with mencoder in a language other than English? anytime i try to hardcode in korean, it gives me a bunch of symbols [06:55] drcode: when i update-grub here. it sees any OS's i got on my usb hds' and adds an entry for them to my GRUB menu. Ive never really used the feature much. Other then to be annoyed that it added ALL the os's on my 5 usb HD's to a VERY long Grub menu. [06:55] aphelion: try chromium [06:55] drcode: i dident have to 'do' anything. :) [06:55] aphelion, on windows did you do it in an opensource browser or IE? [06:56] Maahes, chrome [06:56] drcode: booting an ISo file is a bit more complex however. [06:56] <_Zaphod_> i know it's possible to do a "frugal install" with unetbootin in teory, and also that wubi can install into a indow sparttion. [06:56] and chromium in ubuntu [06:56] and firefox ? [06:56] okay, its more likely that it's using windows specific dns caching and forwarding behavior [06:56] firefox had this issue too [06:56] I don't want to boot iso [06:56] now i uninstalled it [06:56] Hey I know that xorg.conf doesn't exist anymore but then I have to use Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" to fix my screen brigthness problem, my current laptop's display config works... how do I export the settings I am using now to xorg.conf (Currently using autodetect) [06:56] <_Zaphod_> but i wan tto use my existing squashfs and casper r-w loop from the usb drive. [06:56] aphelion, honestly for this issue you will probably get better help in ##networking [06:56] I need to install ubuntu on ext3 or ext4 usb mass storage [06:57] Maahes, thanks, i am moving out of hotel soon so it snot a big deal [06:57] _Zaphod_: the forums may have some threads on converting a live-persistant install to a normal install. It may be as simple as opening up the persistant save file. and copying the contents over a normal install. [06:57] now i'm just curious about the tecnical reasons behind it [06:57] i know this is offtopic but can anybody tell me if i increase DRAM in BIOS should i leave DRAM voltage to AUTO [06:57] then I need some cd that will boot grub2 and will go into usb storage [06:57] john38, >>> #hardware [06:57] I don't see how I can use update-grub? [06:57] drcode: the installer has done that for me also.. I boot the install cd. tell it to install to the /dev/sdc (my flash drive) AND you need to be sure to tell it to install the bootloader to /dev/sdc also. [06:57] Maahes, dw- ,right now i can always boot back to windows every few hours, but i'm sure you agree its an annoying "fix" [06:57] aphelion, I had this problem once before, and its because windows DNS does stupid non standard things, and sometimes idiots impliment things that rely on this behavior [06:57] not often you get OS specific DNS problems [06:57] ok [06:58] someone boned it up good [06:58] so how can I build an iso cd? [06:58] I did it and use mbr on usb [06:58] Maahes, dw- thanks for the explanations + help [06:58] I can boot my usb on usb bios support pc [06:58] time for me to kick hotel tech supoprt ass [06:58] <_Zaphod_> stupd captive portal not forcing an ip directly... [06:59] aphelion: do it and report [06:59] how I can build grub cd that will first boot cdrom and then will go into usb storage [06:59] there is a fix for this behavior, but I don't remember it, I'm not qualified to give it, and it requires a couple shell commands I barely know how to use. [06:59] <_Zaphod_> hmm so yo uwant a paersistent loop on your usb to go with your live cd? [07:00] If anyone ever figures out how to make GDM allow a user with a password on a persistent USB install, please let me know [07:00] <_Zaphod_> i know that's been done. [07:00] anybody know how to hardcode subtitles with mencoder in a language other than English? anytime i try to hardcode in korean, it gives me a bunch of symbols [07:01] http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10018309&postcount=15 [07:01] <_Zaphod_> well the persistent install is based on the livecd, which of course doesn't ask for a password... [07:01] join #mplayer [07:01] oops [07:01] atfer installed selinux on ubunut, can't access the pptp vpn server, any comment ? [07:02] !selinux [07:02] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [07:02] What is SELinux? [07:02] Time to investigate audit2allow, f00bar80. [07:02] afspear: its like AppArmor :p [07:02] KB1JWQ, or it's better to disable selinux and use appArmor ? [07:03] Was developed in large part by the NSA. [07:03] f00bar80: It's better in large part to use the tools that the distro provides. :-) [07:03] http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10018309&postcount=15 can anyone help me with this????? [07:03] but there'll be no conflicts ? [07:03] MissingPerson, see if this works: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060808.113417.23513991.en.html [07:04] MissingPerson: Are you sure that the "gibberish" isn't "Korean?" :-p [07:04] KB1JWQ, ? [07:04] KB1JWQ - Considering I speak read and write Korean, I know for certain it isn't [07:04] MissingPerson: Do these subs work when NOT hard coded? [07:05] Diamondcite: Not in VLC, but I have confirmed them to work on another system [07:05] MissingPerson: How about in mplayer ? [07:05] i don't know if they work in mplayer or not [07:06] They are the same project and I would recommend you try it in mplayer. [07:06] MissingPerson: There is a chance you might need to make the subs UTF-8 before they'll work right. [07:06] have their ever been malicious injections into popular open source software? or does the typical audit trail and user diligence catch everything? [07:06] is there a gtk frontend? [07:07] <_Zaphod_> without proper support, multibyte characters show as gibberish [07:07] KB1JWQ, how to disable selinux [07:07] there*, wow [07:07] dw-: Don't take my word on it.. but I think most projects have a controlled submition so that random useless code doesn't get in to a public release. [07:07] dw: i've often wondered how that works too [07:07] *dw- [07:08] MissingPerson: name your subs the same name as the video but keep the extesion as .smi and play the file using the mplayer command line [07:08] !lamp [07:08] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. 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+) [07:08] !xmms2 | MissingPerson [07:08] MissingPerson: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [07:08] <_Zaphod_> back doors have been known to get snuck into projects, but they are hard to hide. [07:08] I can think of one instance where some malicious code got into a project. and was discovered later. i forget what it even was.. irc server? it was a news artical this year i recall. [07:08] MissingPerson: sorry, I mean xmms2 handles some more formates [07:08] pksadiq: I don't think xmms2 handles videos.. [07:09] Diamondcite: sorry, I mean xine [07:09] <_Zaphod_> yeah, ircII had a few backdoors back in the day. [07:09] !xine [07:09] a lot of things run as root.. so its a pretty glaring risk.. moral of the story.. never upgrade [07:09] How can I remove a specific language? [07:09] ie zh-cn [07:09] Diamondcite: doesn't work, how can i change them to UTF-8? [07:09] <_Zaphod_> anyone remember /ctcp JUPE? [07:10] MissingPerson: tried xine? [07:10] pksadiq: Assuming one can get mplayer working properly.. it has among the largest support.. since it even uses xine codecs plus it's own and some win32 ones too. [07:10] Dr_Willis: unrealircd, and it was a trojan added to the download .tar.gz, not malicious code in the project itself [07:10] _Zaphod_: this is Ubuntu support channel [07:10] MissingPerson: I don't know a proper way.. but the improper way.. open it up in a text editor which CAN see it properly. [07:10] <_Zaphod_> ok.. [07:10] Then open up another text editor and copy and paste the whole file ^_^ [07:10] * _Zaphod_ shuts up. [07:10] Diamondcite: wow, so can I make windows plugins as such work with mplayer, if so how ? [07:11] !ot | _Zaphod_ [07:11] _Zaphod_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:11] ;) [07:11] thx for feedback.. i started it [07:11] pksadiq: The mplayer site has win32 codecs customized to itself, you can't just plop any random windows codec and expect it to work. [07:12] Diamondcite: k [07:12] pksadiq: i think they are also on the medibuntu package site. but Honestly. Ive been using VLC and rarely find stuff i cant play. [07:12] <_Zaphod_> anyway, my first attempt was to run the installer from the persistent usb. that didn't work at all. [07:12] <_Zaphod_> it was unabel to reize the partitions. [07:13] _Zaphod_: thats odd.. may not be due to the installer being on the usb however. I DO normally install from a botable flash drive. that have persistant save files. [07:13] Dr_Willis: VLC can't handle .mid audio and videos/audios that use smar as audio [07:13] Diamondcite: Every text editor loads up gibberish [07:13] Dr_Willis: samr * [07:13] <_Zaphod_> so i shrunk the windows one down a bit with a partition resizer in windows. [07:13] pksadiq: Midi. :) now you are bringing back OLD school memories.. [07:13] Dr_Willis: VLC and MPlayer are probably rivals, though I would say MPlayer has better support for SSA/ASS subs than VLC does, least as for 6 months ago still.. [07:13] <_Zaphod_> then it got further, but when i tried to boot it, it kernel paniced. [07:14] MissingPerson: Is this linux korean capable? [07:14] <_Zaphod_> almost immediately. [07:14] Why Ubuntu install Chinese packs? I want to remove it. tks [07:14] Diamondcity: yeah [07:14] <_Zaphod_> (it runs just fine from the usb on the same computer) [07:14] MissingPerson: How about renaiming it from .smi to .txt and try to open it in firefox? [07:14] Maybe you can switch encodings in there. [07:14] _Zaphod_: resizeing partitons can change the UUID's ive seen. but if you did a install from a flash driev + persistant save. it does NOT copy over the 'saved changes' on the usb. its a normal default install. same as from an ISO/CD. [07:15] hey,guys.I got a problem with entering ubuntu's graphic mode [07:15] Dr_Willis: I still usr midi, why you say so? I use midi files and open in any keybard programmes to know the notes of the music, so I can play i my own on pianos, also it's so small in size [07:15] <_Zaphod_> right... i an tto keep the changes... [07:15] And I am using the txt mode [07:15] Diamondcite: same problem [07:15] _Zaphod_: then you may need to do an install.. then open up the save file. its mountable via the loop back feature of mount. [07:16] MissingPerson: Will you mind going through some troubles to get this to work? (quite a bit might need to be installed too) [07:16] <_Zaphod_> the har ddirve is 160 gm. [07:17] <_Zaphod_> it's half windoze and half hackintosh. [07:17] <_Zaphod_> first i tried srinking the window spartition. [07:17] <_Zaphod_> and manually adding a normal and swap partition. [07:17] <_Zaphod_> and it happily continued the install. [07:17] !enter > _Zaphod_ [07:17] _Zaphod_, please see my private message [07:18] anyone here know how to remove windows 7 off the grub2 bootloader [07:18] I use Win7 and Ubuntu in my computer and i install the ati's sofeware in win7 before i enter ubuntu [07:18] * _Zaphod_ apologizes for his ancient console IRC client he is using. :) [07:18] !grub | CIAonLSD [07:18] CIAonLSD: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:19] yeah okay dude, i know how to restore grub [07:19] now i can't get to the ubuntu's graphic mode [07:19] CIAonLSD, "dude" read what it says. [07:19] im dealing with grub2 and want to remove the windows 7 entry [07:19] Anyone can help me ? [07:19] Genieliu: Which graphic card do you have? How did you end up in txt mode? [07:19] Genieliu: disable the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober file by making it not executable. [07:19] hi [07:19] oops wrong nick. [07:20] CIAonLSD: : disable the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober file by making it not executable. [07:20] <_Zaphod_> as i was saying... it kernel panicked immediately when I tried to load up, complaining about being unable to read from block 8,1 or something liek that. kinda hard to screenshot the error. :) [07:20] anyone tried using vmware on ubuntu with a Windows 7 guest? wondering if anyone has tried using starcraft 2 with it [07:20] CIAonLSD: then rerun update-grub as root. [07:20] Diamondcite: Tried using a different sub file for the same movie, same language, same problem. [07:21] _Zaphod_: going to be hard for us to trouble shoot suich a complex setup. Could be as simple as the hd(#,#)entry is wrong, or the UUID;s are wrong. [07:21] MissingPerson: Do you know the original character encoding of the file? [07:21] MissingPerson: Actually can you send me the subs alone? I need to experiment a little. [07:22] disable or delete? [07:22] Diamondcite, can't tell you [07:22] Diamondcite: secrete ::: [07:22] Diamondcite: the 4000 series [07:22] <_Zaphod_> well the partition resizing was done before the install. [07:23] Dr_Willis: I have made the /etc/grub.d/30** file not executable,now i am trying to reboot it [07:24] how can i make os_prober non-executable? [07:25] Dr_Willis: Resizing a filesystem alone will never change its UUID. [07:25] <_Zaphod_> even if i have space between the two partitions, if i picked "install side it owuld attempt to INCREASE the windows partition and undo my earlier resize, so I decided to manually partition. [07:25] MissingPerson: I see... well then good luck figuring out the encoding "iconv -f -t utf8 [filename] > [newfilename]" [07:25] CIAonLSD, to change a file's permissions either learn chmod or right click on it in a gui and tab permissions [07:25] <_Zaphod_> lets say I have 10 gigs to work with beteen the two. how should I handle the partitioning? [07:26] CIAonLSD: sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/os-prober [07:26] -x makes it non-executable? [07:26] _Zaphod_: I doubt that it will actually be easier to migrate your existing install this way than to setup whatever applications you need again. [07:26] CIAonLSD: yes [07:26] k [07:26] Jordan_U: if you say so.. but i thionk ive seen it happen to others. I rarely resize. [07:26] Is there any way I can enable aggressice write caching in linux, the same way one can now enable it in windows 7...what I want is for the kernel to only write flush once in a blue moon to minimize write lag [07:26] <_Zaphod_> the applicatiosn took a while.... [07:27] _Zaphod_: with just 10gb for linux = 1 partition for / and a small swap partition. [07:28] <_Zaphod_> yeah, that's what I tried to do. set one as ext3 main with mount point of / and a 2 gig swap partition. [07:28] hi, i have a problem with ubuntu 10.10. [07:28] <_Zaphod_> and the install continued, but then after the reboot I was stuck. [07:29] Hey can someone help me get an iso burnt using k3b? It keeps spitting errors out at me, and Im not sure what Im doing wrong.?. [07:29] i installed it and first thing, the screen dont fit. and everytime i log in with the username and pass i made when in instalation, it kicked me back to the login screen. [07:29] _Zaphod_: 8gb for / wouldent be a very usealbe system for me. :) [07:29] <_Zaphod_> well it's not intended as a desktop. [07:29] <_Zaphod_> the thing will be runnign mysl, apache, and a backup copy of a billing system. [07:30] <_Zaphod_> oh, and sendmail in case it ever needs it. [07:30] can somebody give me a clue on what to do? [07:30] geboy: Sounds like X is crashing... I wonder if the right drivers were used.. [07:30] _Zaphod_, did you account for growing logs in /var or the dbase in /var/lib/mysql ? [07:30] _Zaphod_, or how about the growing uploads per website in /var/www ? [07:30] malachai: Is this the first time using k3b? [07:30] Diamondcite: hmm...it might be. coz i'm using old machine [07:30] Yes [07:31] <_Zaphod_> there will only be one website. the interface to the billing software. [07:31] malachai: Did k3b complain about the permissions? [07:31] _Zaphod_, 8gb is not even enough for a standard long term desktop on / [07:31] _Zaphod_: you are setting up a windows desktop machine with Windows, Hackintosh and Ubuntu - and the ubuntu side is to be doing all this stuff? [07:31] not sure now i already closed it out an dam trying again. [07:31] <_Zaphod_> i just wan tto make sure it will work befre clobbering the other stuff on the machine. :) [07:31] malachai: You can either save the output.. or try brasero as another CD/DVD Writting program [07:32] Hey. What is running on unr10.04? I want to use it instead of the damn mutter [07:32] Diamondcite: how can i fix it? i'm using ECS P4M800-M mobo. 512 DDR1 Ram. with onboard vga. [07:32] Brasero wont make a bootable disk [07:32] geboy: ECS is a pain to work with since the company isn't around anymore! [07:32] I have tried and wasted 3 disks on Brasero [07:32] <_Zaphod_> once i actually get it working the other OSes won't run. [07:32] malachai: theres other disk burning tools in the repos. [07:32] malachai: use cdrecord [07:32] malachai: I see bad idea then [07:32] !burn [07:32] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [07:33] _Zaphod_, you need to plan it out first and get the partition right the first time round. makes doing backup schedules later on (and hotswap drives) much easier [07:33] I tend to use k3b for my Burning Needs [07:33] Diamondcite: ouch. ECS is gone? since when? geez i thought they made success here in asia [07:33] And for some reason neither one of them will let me burn on a dvd-r . I have to use a dvd-dl because file is 4.6 GB. Dont know why it wont let me use a 4.7 GB dvd-r [07:33] <_Zaphod_> the original server is running on a positively ancient slackware on a pentium 200 MMX. :) [07:33] _Zaphod_, you need to acknowledge that the /var/cache/apt/* will grow due to software installing and updates... [07:33] but i normally install from flash drives these days. I did set up grub2 to boot an ISO file from a hard drife and isntalled that way last night on a laptop.. that was a MUCH faster install then a flash drive. [07:33] geboy: Maybe I had the wrong company in mind.. well atleast there are specs for this board this time.. [07:33] Diamondcite: okay, any idea how to fix it without changing the hardware? [07:34] <_Zaphod_> which i can't possibly just transplant. [07:34] hihi [07:34] malachai: cdrecord is needed in rebuild of the kernel to get ability writting on fast speed without errors [07:34] geboy: The last couple of times I had to work with then I was working blind x.x [07:34] geboy: Looking up drivers for S3 Unichrome [07:34] Ok Im gonna grab cdrecord and see what happens with it. [07:34] Diamondcite: any time i see 's3' mentioned in relation with Linux.. its never a good thing. [07:34] Came in here to share a late-night moonlight-filled idea [07:35] Diamondcite: ok. gonna try looking on ubuntu site then. === patrick is now known as Guest66983 [07:35] apparently cdrecord is not available for Lucid? [07:35] What if, in the ubuntu font, a ubuntu symbol is put into place, so instead of using an image for the default theme, it is instead a typed character? [07:35] _Zaphod_, personally i start with the assumption that /, /var, /usr & /home will be on separate partitions. [07:35] Dr_Willis: I vaguely recall a great deal of frustration the last time this was done.. [07:35] malachai: its been replaced by wodim last i checked [07:35] !info wodim [07:35] wodim (source: cdrkit): command line CD/DVD writing tool. In component main, is optional. Version 9:1.1.10-1ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 427 kB, installed size 864 kB [07:36] Oooh wodim is a command line writing tool. [07:36] geboy: If possible I would seriously recommend getting an AGP graphic card.. ANYTHING... [07:36] malachai: im pretty sure all these GUI's use wodim as their backend. [07:36] !info cdrecord [07:36] Package cdrecord does not exist in maverick [07:36] at least most of them do. :) [07:36] Which apparently I already have. [07:36] Hmm [07:37] Any ideas on how to do this via command line? [07:37] malachai: You could try a different GUI i guess. like k3b. Brasero has been known to be flakey at times. I rarely use it. [07:37] I just found that I should disable before watching videos. So how can I disable Compiz using the terminal? [07:37] *disable Compiz [07:37] how can I use !info here for a package in Lucid? [07:37] malachai: read documentation to cdrecord attentively. I made a text file for all kind of events and when I want to write something on CD/dvd I just open command line and copy/paste. [07:37] malachai: check the wodim docs. its cli options were not too complex last i looked into it. [07:37] Diamondcite: actually the reason i use the onboard one was because mine is broken. T.T [07:38] uLinux: metacity --replace [07:38] K3b is what is spitting the errors at me, and now it wont even find the iso that i want to burn === dhruvasagar_ is now known as dhruvasagar [07:38] Ok [07:38] I have installed ubuntuserver 10.10. Is there any way i can use that as a mediacenter ? [07:38] malachai: that is weird. [07:38] Dr_Willis: and compiz --replace to reenable? [07:38] funny tho. it was fine to work with 08.04 [07:38] uLinux: yes. Or use the fusion-icon tool. [07:38] yeah i have it:p === Guest66983 is now known as YourBrainis404 [07:38] uLinux: ive not needed t disable compuiz to watch videos. :) but i guess it can help on some low end systems === dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar_ [07:38] Who uses UNR 10.04 right now? [07:39] Its still there so I dont know why it wont find it, but its not. [07:39] To disable compiz altogether,m wouldn't one need to disable desktop effects? [07:39] Dr_Willis: I get flickering watching videos or playing with compiz enabled. [07:39] and i have a decent machine [07:39] Well, the quick and dirty way is to type in killall compiz for now. [07:39] I have installed ubuntuserver 10.10. Is there any way i can use that as a mediacenter ? [07:39] <_Zaphod_> the original server has everything within 10 ouf of 60 gigs. 7.1 gigs of that has nothing to do with what the macine is supposed ot be doing. :) [07:39] tiox: i right clicked on desktop and disabled effects :p [07:40] geboy: Currently reading through http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6648810 [07:40] :P [07:40] malachai: Don't write on fast speed. It's useless in linux without rebuild the kernel. [07:40] geboy: It relates to your driver.. [07:40] uLinux: no use metacity replace [07:40] uLinux: no use metacity --replace [07:40] <_Zaphod_> this persistent usb stick i made is a 4 gig one. [07:40] pksadiq: yeah i guess i lost my compiz settings? [07:40] uLinux: compiz has a vsync optiopn i always turn on [07:41] uLinux: hm, using compiz settings manager? [07:41] pksadiq: yes [07:41] Dr_Willis: where is that option ? [07:41] yeah im gonna try at 2.4 and see what happens. I found the iso. [07:41] Diamondcite: ok thanks. hold on a momment, reading to it... [07:41] can I just leave this at default and let it go? [07:41] k3b that is [07:42] geboy: It links to an ubuntu help page.. it seems to still be valid to try to follow it. [07:42] hello everyone,i am new here [07:42] Dr_Willis: General > Display Settings is using 50Hz [07:42] uLinux: I belive, if you again activate effects , the old settings will be used [07:43] right [07:43] malachai: I don't know. k3b it's just graphical interface for wodim and cdrecord. [07:43] I have installed ubuntuserver 10.10. Is there any way i can use that as a mediacenter ? [07:43] <_Zaphod_> so i should just nuke everything, install to the full hard drie, copy the rw loop on, go single user, mount it, and copy the fiels out of it? [07:43] uLinux: ccsm tool has it under the general tab i recall. [07:43] so now after months i found out the problem with refresh rate: compiz [07:43] Diverdude: install whatever mediscenter software you want to use.. [07:43] Ok it never even got to an actual writing state. Which it is now. So maybe its working this time, and I just needed to turn the write speed down. [07:44] Diverdude: and let the clients access it. === dhruvasagar_ is now known as dhruvasagar [07:44] i am new [07:44] Dr_Willis, Do you have any recommendations? [07:45] Diverdude: it totallty depends on what you are doing specifically with the media. [07:45] <_Zaphod_> no that still probably won't work... oh well. i've got an idea... [07:45] Diverdude: all my gizmos access the samba shares i make. [07:45] Dr_Willis, basically watching movies [07:45] hello [07:46] Dr_Willis, i wanted to just be able to output the movies on the TV and have a nice browsing menu [07:46] Diverdude: You mean you hook the PC to the tv? [07:46] hello [07:46] Dr_Willis, yeah [07:46] sweet people are here [07:46] hi [07:46] Diverdude: then thats not really a media 'server' its just a Home Theater PC setup. [07:46] cd_rik@hotmail.com [07:47] Dr_Willis, ahh yeah ok [07:47] for girls only [07:47] at the dcemuuk channel no one wants to talk [07:47] Diverdude: theres dozens of options for that. XMBC. Moovidia, Enna, proberly more... [07:47] does anyone know anything about psps [07:47] Dr_Willis, and they run on ubuntu server even though ubuntu server is terminal only? [07:47] GIRLS? [07:48] ok, I just decided to install all my operating systems over again. I am now in a ubuntu install environment, what should I choose for my bootloader, seeing as I have both mac[efi] and win7[mbr] already on here. [07:48] no playstation portable [07:48] Diverdude: think logically about this.. You are hooking a SERVER up to a TV? and watch videos? that dosent make sence.. [07:48] cedric_: #ubuntu isn't a dating site. I strongly suggest you stop thinking it is. [07:48] Diverdude: server is text only.. so unless we got some confuseing going on.. you need somthing to display the videos to the actual tv. [07:48] Dr_Willis, i used to do that on my windows machine [07:49] hello [07:49] cedric_: also, congratulations, you put your email address in a publicly-logged channel. Enjoy your spam mail. [07:49] Diverdude: I think you got some terms confused.. windows was using the windows desktop and playing in a video player.. same thing would apply to a linux box. [07:49] if youre using firefox, did the tabs bar got darker? [07:49] or it is my theme [07:49] Diverdude: you can use a Desktop install of ubuntu and XBMC and have a nice HTPC setup going rather quickly [07:49] Dr_Willis, yes ok that is true [07:49] Is someone be experienced with returning back UNR10.04 look? I hate new unr10.10 mutter. [07:50] I am at the partition editor, and I have set up my mount points, but below, their is "Device for boot loader installation] [07:50] besogon: You can't. The pre-Unity netbook launcher was removed from Maverick. [07:50] shit [07:50] I agree. [07:50] hello [07:51] williand: chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic please. Or any of the 1000+ channels on this server [07:51] !language | besogon [07:51] besogon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:51] so whats on topic [07:51] williand: tech support [07:51] I can choose sda, sda1, sda2 macosx, sda3 windows7, sda4[where I am installing ubuntu], sda5 [where I will be installing arch] [07:52] wtf is this channel for then [07:52] williand: as the TOPIC states 'ubuntu support channel' [07:52] williand: like i said, tech support [07:52] williand: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. #ubuntu-offtopic is for other topics that don't fall afoul of our IRC guidelines [07:52] Akiva: i would go with sda [07:52] I just want to make sure my grub catches all the os's, [07:52] ok then i need help [07:52] thats why im here [07:52] williand: so state your question [07:52] maco: it's only expression of my feelings it's not a curse [07:53] maco: oh thanks, do you think my grub will be configured properly then after the install? [07:53] its my windows on my computer i have to start in safe mode otherwise it wont load whats wrong and its slow if its not in safe mode [07:53] guys can i install the latest ubuntu on my netbook or is it not possible yet [07:53] williand: *Ubuntu* technical support. Windows isn't Ubuntu. Try ##windows. [07:53] crap did i say windows i meant ubuntu [07:54] it dont wanna install [07:54] dudedude: ubuntu 10.10 works on netbooks.. [07:54] Akiva: grub should autodetect other OSes that are already installed. if youre installing arch *after* ubuntu... it wont pick up on that though. then again you can also have arch install grub on sda and then it should replace it and pick everything up (though if arch installed a new grub it wouldnt pick up on new ubuntu kernels, youd have to add them manually. ditto new arch kernels if you let ubuntu control grub) [07:54] ya im all over the place right now i got note book and this just so confusing but on notebook it dont wanna go on [07:54] how to end a progress that is frozen? [07:55] maco - wish me luck, [07:55] jg47hm: kill [07:55] Dr_Willis can you verify that [07:55] jg47hm: the gnome system monitor should help [07:55] how do i install ubuntu on my notebook [07:55] dudedude: I can [07:55] williand: do you have it booting from the c? [07:55] *cd? [07:55] yes [07:55] spinningcompass because about 2 weeks ago i came here and people were all like no you can't install ubuntu on ur netbook [07:56] great it just froze [07:56] dudedude: the netbook edition is designed to work on netbooks.. [07:56] of course [07:56] dudedude: normal Ubuntu should also work fine on netbooks.. [07:56] dudedude: I hear you. However, I did install 10.10 on a Toshiba NB305 (a netbook). === Novus_Caesar is now known as Novus [07:56] maco, yep but when i write kill in terminal it gaves me some options like -a... what i should write next?? [07:56] but there was some kind of a tackle with that piece of software you use to install ubuntu [07:56] Dr_Willis: oh. don't lie to him. Unr is not for netbooks now [07:56] spinningcompass whats the name of the other software you use to install it [07:57] dudedude: i dont recall anyone ever stateing you couldent install to netbooks. [07:57] dudedude: um... ubetboot something? [07:57] yes [07:57] i have it running off of c but it just froze [07:57] spinningcompass that's the name [07:57] so now what [07:57] and how do i unfreeze [07:57] dudedude: I used a CD, not the USB flash drive thingy. [07:57] brb [07:57] it didn't work when i tried it two weeks ago [07:57] jg47hm: do you know the PID of the process? youd do: kill 1234 [07:57] oh i dont have a cd in my netbook .......... [07:57] jg47hm: if you dont know the PID, use ps -ef | less to find it [07:58] dudedude: the new netbook interface is giving people a lot of hassles. the normal ubuntu desktop should work however. [07:58] so let me reask peoplez on this channel, anyone here got ubuntu installed on a non cdrom netbook? [07:58] i am talking about the new unr release of course [07:59] hi, i'm converting a divx to a DVD using Kino. What option should I choose for output file type: Raw DV, DV AVI type 1 or DV AVI type 2 ( I want to be ale to play it on a regular DVD player), thanks [07:59] looking for a xml notepad equivalent to the xmlnotepad for windows? [07:59] !pm | williand [07:59] williand: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [07:59] williand: does your system meet the minimum requirements, such as 384MB RAM? [08:00] dudedude: I've got eeepc1000 with unr10.10. But previous version was much better in question of speed [08:00] williand: also keep in mind that running from a CD is *slloooooooowwwwww* so it may not actually be frozen [08:00] dudedude: No, netbooks tend not to have CD-ROM drives. They do, however, have USB ports, and there are CD-ROM drives that come with USB sockets. :) [08:01] hello [08:01] is a vserver supported in maverick 64bits please ? [08:01] maco: Install unr10.04.1 on your netbook. [08:01] unable to found a kernel-vserver :( [08:02] Bert-: no way [08:02] Bert-: woops [08:02] besogon: no way [08:02] maco: It's the best of ubuntu on this time [08:02] besogon: why would i want to use that gnome crap? [08:02] Kubuntu Netbook FTW! [08:02] looking for a xml notepad equivalent to the xmlnotepad for windows? [08:03] maco: What do you want then? ubuntu is based on gnome. It's official Desktop [08:03] spinningcompass ill stick to my windows 7 then :o [08:03] besogon: which is why i use Kubuntu [08:03] you don't have to use gnome with ubuntu you know [08:04] can anyone tell me what is the safest way to access files on a usb hdd on a LAN? would it be using samba or another protocol connecting to a local computer or would it be connecting it to a router with a usb port? [08:04] maco: I hve seen and lubuntu and xubuntu and it can't sweep you down with it awful interface [08:04] w3, nfs ? [08:04] NetworkManager Applet 0.8: "Wired network connection 'Auto eth0' active". Left-click 'Enable Networking' is asserted. From what configuration file does NetworkManager take this information? [08:04] w3, sshfs ? [08:04] dudedude: unetbootin is the thing for installing une or knr to a netbook [08:05] Bert-, yes but do i connect it to a pc or a router [08:05] dudedude: you put the une or knr onto a flash drive and install from that to the netbook [08:05] w3, hu ? a router ? I don't know if a router can deal with external storage [08:06] besogon: why are you telling me to put unr on my netbook anyway? and how did you even know i own a netbook? [08:06] best way is to by a networked storage [08:06] besogon: it came preinstalled with kubuntu netbook remix, by the way [08:06] maco: use gnome or kde all other for those who know benefits in distortions [08:06] can anyone tell me if its safer to attach external storage to a router or another pc if i want to access it from another pc on the LAN? [08:06] buy* [08:06] besogon: kubuntu is ubuntu + kde... [08:06] maco: because he's mad that UNE 10.10 isn't good :\ [08:06] bonjour [08:06] w3 what is your router ? [08:07] maco: apparently the idea that this is a process failure and not something that can be solved by using 10.04 hasn't occured :\ [08:07] Bert-, some bricked POS that i need to spend money to fix [08:07] besogon: and kubuntu netbook is simply kde's plasma-netbook UI instead of plasma-desktop or plasma-mobile [08:08] w3, then why don't you buy a nas ? [08:09] one like iomega, you can gain root access (debian inside), then do what you want :) [08:09] So Im not sure (as I wasnt watching it I was watching myself play MOH) but it (k3b) says closing session 0%, overall progress 100%. Is it done or still closing session? [08:09] Bert-, because i've already spent plenty on usb storage === warren is now known as Guest34533 [08:09] Theres absolutely no activity to it that I can tell. [08:10] Dont wanna pull the disk out early and ruin it though [08:10] ats it im sick of ubuntu going back to vista my computer running slower now when i had vista on it [08:11] W3, so if you already have a networked PC, just use it (imho) [08:11] Yeah im trying to get a boot cd for windows made so I can go back too. [08:11] Bert-, yeah but that can be exploited by hackers [08:11] I'm not sure you'll have full access to do what you want on a 'simple' router [08:12] w3, just set correct ACL [08:12] ACL? [08:12] Access Control List [08:12] both nfs and samba can do that [08:12] Bert-, there are other ways to hack in ive heard [08:12] cant get my printer working my webcam or java GOODBYE UBUNTU HELLO VISTA [08:13] Guest34533, good [08:13] giorno [08:13] I have both java, printer and cam working :p [08:13] just try a little more ;) [08:13] W3, an example ? [08:13] trying 4 3 days now [08:14] only 3 ? [08:14] what is your printer ? [08:14] w3, i dont know but i've read it on the security page [08:14] broth dcp-350c [08:14] Bert-, i dont know but i've read it on the security page [08:14] Has anyone used the Alfa AWUS036NEH wifi dongle and gotten it to work at all? === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [08:14] I agree with Guest34533, Linux is nice, but not for what Im trying to use it for. I want to play games and watch movies and shit. Not write programs and whatever else. Windows is a much better OS for what I want. No offense to Linux at all. [08:15] w3, I use a nas storage. As embedded os is debian, security is the same as having a usb hdd connected to a PC ... [08:15] Hell I cant even figure out how to get a damn movie burnt to a disk with ubuntu. [08:16] malachai, I do the same ... Except for some games, unfortunately working only on windows. And that not because of linux, but dev just coding for D3D :) [08:16] Bert-, i cant $#@%@^ afford NAS ive already spent the money on usb storage [08:16] hi all good afternoon [08:16] I need to add something to the path environment variable in ubuntu 9.10 [08:16] is it correct to add this line export PATH=${PATH}:/home/matt/android/android-sdk-linux_86/tools to .bashrc file ? [08:16] w3, I understood. What I mean is security will be the same as using a pc (even a router). YOU have to set correct restrictions :) [08:16] Yeah. If I was more pc literate this would be a great OS, but just not for me. [08:16] this is a off-topic question but I do not know where to ask in the freenode [08:17] NetworkManager Applet 0.8: "Wired network connection 'Auto eth0' active". Left-click 'Enable Networking' is asserted. From what configuration file does NetworkManager take this information? [08:17] what channel would be best to get advice on using the latest wifi drivers for my newer wifi dongle? Having issues getting it to work. [08:17] where can I find a pdf file talking about circuit and electronics symbols? [08:17] malachai: i use devede to convert an avi to a dvdvideo.iso and burn the iso to dvd with whatever tool you want. [08:18] Bert-, and i have to have the damned pc running 24/7 to be able to access the drive [08:18] w3,ye [08:18] yes [08:18] !wireless | ouyes [08:18] ouyes: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:18] silv3r_m00n: export PATH=$PATH: [08:18] malachai: takes me about 3 min to get it going.. simpiler then doing it in nero under windows.. but the menus are rather basic. :) [08:18] hello people, got a question - i am receiving this error. someone used my box this evening and when i came back, im getting errors after splash/login screen; first one is >>> Could not update ICEauthority file/home/mysuername/.ICEauthority.. and the second after that is >>>> there is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256 [08:18] malachai, tried brasero ? [08:19] Hmm. I didnt kow there were two seperate actions to it. i bet Ive got 6 or 7 iso's laying around wherever it stores them. I thought it was just throw a disk and convert and burn all in one action. [08:19] im usuing gnome, not kde [08:19] I was using devede [08:19] oly562, check your perms [08:19] malachai: devede generates the iso. you then burn. thats how it works.. [08:19] Bert-: yah, which ones? [08:19] I see [08:19] malachai: theres really no need for a video converter to also be a burner. :) theres burner apps for that. [08:20] any idea where the default storage is for those iso's? [08:20] also, i have to use ecryptfs to mount my priv /home/dir [08:20] malachai: i also test the iso files in vlc befor i burn them. [08:20] if it is your homedir, then just chown -R your_user: /your/home/dir [08:20] oly562: I recommend that you use more precise wording in your question. I am not inclined to answer to such a fuzzy question. [08:20] Bert-: once i mount it, i then can access /home/dir [08:20] Hey, Just installed ubuntu, the grub went fine, it detects all the os's, and mac will boot up fine, but windows says it cannot boot, and suggests me to use the install disk. Is this a matter of just editing my grub 2? I dont want to find mbr set as default when I boot up [08:21] haaaaaa ok [08:21] malachai: k9copy is also a very handy tool. [08:21] oly562, so your problem is : your crypted homedir not automatically mounted anymore ? [08:21] im not evening getting to my /home/dir unless i ecryptfs- it [08:21] correct Bert- [08:21] sorry, where can I find a pdf file talking about circuit and electronics symbols? [08:21] i was looking at ecryptfs-manager in cmdline [08:22] and the options are 1-4, 3 is create new [08:22] Im still wondering how I know if K3b is finished? theres absolutely no activity going on but it doesnt say that its done. Just has a cancel button at the bottom, and this is a dvd-dl that I dont want to waste on an idiot action like taking the disk out too soon. [08:22] exit [08:22] i dont want to do that, any suggestions, also, if you agree that its the efs thats hosed this up, god knows what she did to it lol [08:23] Bert-: how to fix that... automount efs'd home dir [08:23] i looked on help ubuntu, not really seeing it there [08:23] * subay^^ is away: --> [08:23] i also checked the logs, there was something there about polkit as well [08:24] * subay^^ is back (gone 00:00:26) [08:24] * subay^^ is away: --> [08:24] bullgard4: are you fluent in trbshting EFS? [08:25] i posted the error messages, first is ICEauthority error, then status 256 [08:25] then i just see the splash screen, and mouse... ya i think its the efs keyring, not really good at tblshting efs'd fs's. [08:25] need a little help thanks peopel [08:26] oly562, check your logs about errors [08:26] maybe related to your pam.d config ? [08:26] i can do that, wont be able to pastebin though [08:26] brb [08:26] hello i cannot find the package that has a driver for my wifi [08:26] oly562: No. [08:27] oly562, in your mounted encrypted dir, do you have a ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount file ? [08:27] Does anyone here use vserver on 64bits maverick please ? [08:28] ill check [08:28] sb [08:29] I use ibus, and when I close my ibus-daemon, it shows up as "zombie". I don't have a problem with that, but how can I set up a keyboard shortcut to restart the exact same program instead of opening a new one? [08:30] how can i find the driver needed for my wifi? [08:30] Bert-: in my home dir i have..... .cache, .ecryptfs << home/.ecryptfs/myname/.ecryptfs, lesshst, .Private > /home/.ecrypft/myname/.Private, and READEne,txt' [08:31] forgive the >><< typos, they are --> [08:31] Bert-: also, that is unmounted, thats just ls -al /home/myname [08:31] where can I find a pdf file talking about circuit and electronics symbols? [08:32] oly562, mount your dir manually, then type touch ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount [08:32] Bert-: lrwxwrxwrx on Access-Your... .Private, and .ecrphtfs... these are all defaults, no perm changes made yet [08:32] k [08:32] ouyes: err.. try googleing for circuit/electronics 'guides/tuorials/cheatsheets' since its not ubuntu specific... [08:33] I use ibus, and when I close my ibus-daemon, it shows up as "zombie". I don't have a problem with that, but how can I set up a keyboard shortcut to restart the exact same program instead of opening a new one (since the pid is different everytime)? [08:33] Bert-: so use ecryptfs-mount-private, correct [08:33] sorry , thanks Dr_Willis , I find where to ask that question [08:33] yes [08:33] sb [08:34] ouyes: you would have much better luck with google, and perhaps the delicious.com tags. then asking in IRC.

[08:37] Bert-: i just did a reboot, did i need to umount first with cmd? [08:37] oly562, no [08:37] i logged back in, same issue still,,, ICE authority and Status 256 errors [08:38] it "should " mount it when you login in gdm [08:38] hmmm [08:38] Bert-: yah i know, lol [08:38] what about your logs ?

I have search and it looks like it is not a good card to use with ubuntu. Is that correct? [08:39] nothing stands out in messages [08:40] donkeyboy, all is supported by ubuntu [08:40] donkeyboy, why ati 5145? [08:40] donkeyboy, it is out of date [08:40] donkeyboy: i would suggest getting an Nvidia based laptop if looking at a new one. [08:41] ouyes: thats what comes with the laptop. I am not looking for a hectic beefy machine. Just something that will run smoothly. I am not into gaming. [08:41] windows 7 will not boot after ubuntu install, it suggests I put in the install cd to repair it, but the install cd says it can do nothing. Do I just edit my grub or mbr or something? [08:41] I use ibus, and when I close my ibus-daemon, it shows up as "zombie". I don't have a problem with that, but how can I set up a keyboard shortcut to restart the exact same program instead of opening a new one (since the pid is different everytime)? [08:42] Bert-: so what did touch'ing auto-mount do? [08:42] hello. How do I set my dpi for gdm? [08:42] donkeyboy, it seems nvidia has better support in ubuntu === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`sleep [08:42] donkeyboy: nvidia has MUCH better support in linux. if its priomary to be a linux box.. i suggest nvidia [08:42] Dr_Willis, ouyes: ok, so nvidia is still the better option [08:43] donkeyboy: and check the guides at -> http://www.notebookcheck.net [08:43] Flannel: i need your help, are you busy? [08:43] donkeyboy: i basically will NEVER (any time soon) buy ati based anything for my linuix needs. [08:43] oly562, did you change your password ? [08:43] Dr_Willis: Thanks. Ok, yeah it's going to be a pure ubuntu box [08:43] i did earlier so she could log in, yes, but i did a reboot, and it came up [08:43] donkeyboy: theni would definatly avoide ati. [08:43] Dr_Willis: Thanks [08:44] oly562: he's not around this weekend [08:44] donkeyboy: look for a 'class 2' video card at least. in a new machine. [08:44] rww: thanks, do you have any suggestions? [08:44] salam [08:44] irani kasi hast? [08:44] Bert-: yes, i also used the ecryptfs-manager do so and then option 2 to add it. its the same pw [08:45] oly562, maybe try to rewrap your passphrase ? [08:45] ok, Bert- howto? [08:45] oly562: that first error you quoted sounds familiar, but I can't place what the problem was. I'll get back to you if it comes to me, but other people in the room are probably a better resource until that happens. [08:45] oly562, ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase [08:45] rww: k, thanks :) [08:45] donkeyboy, actually ati vga card is as good as nvidia, but under ubuntu OS nvidia has better support, and caud for GPU caculations, search the case of your card in the ubuntu forum [08:45] Bert-: do i need mount first? [08:46] that wrapped-passphrase is myname:root perm'd [08:46] rw------ [08:46] Dr_Willis: Ok thanks. Will go try and find a machine with nvidia. [08:46] i will try that.. sb [08:46] ouyes: I really just want something that will work, play back video and do 3D without going crazy. [08:46] donkeyboy: i printed out the video card list and CPU lists on that site. then took them shopping. Found me a lapotp with the highest video card/cpu i could manage for my budget. :) [08:47] oly562, I'm not sure you have to mount it. Let it unmounted, and check if you have ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase file [08:47] Bert-: ok done [08:47] Dr_Willis: Great Idea [08:47] it was there, unmounted, and rewrap cmd worked [08:47] Bert-: it asked for old/new combo [08:47] donkeyboy: I ended up with a Nvidia 360M video card. (the highest the store had on the list) It blows my desktop box away in 3d. :) [08:47] oly562, yes [08:47] bulldog98: you following this? [08:47] type your old one, then the noew one.

[08:48] yes* [08:48] donkeyboy, just gma HD come along with I series cpu of intel will satisfy your demand [08:48] Dr_Willis: thanks [08:48] donkeyboy: its all about your budget in the end. and best bang for the buck. [08:50] How do I set my dpi for gdm? [08:50] ok, i did /etc/init.d/gdm restart, then ctr-F7'd and cleared the two previous messages, and now it says, Nautilus count not create the following required flders: /home/myname/Desktop, /home/myname/.nautilus, i assume i should just reboot, and now, its just ppoed up, Record your encryption passpharse, after like a min while typing this [08:50] i saw this before, which i selected close, as i did not know it was hosed yet,,, [08:51] should i run this action now? even though i did the rewarp? rww your thoughts?

[08:56] BlueEagle: Are you determined that those language is chinese? [08:56] ok, thanks gentlemen. I am off to go get me a new machine :-) [08:56] BlueEagle: because ubottu's language factoids use the ISO language codes, and the language code for Czech is .ch.

[09:04] Dr_Willis ok is eBox supported on 9.04? [09:04] can i get some help getting ubuntu to run from my flashdrive? [09:04] AlanMeta: some things to consider 1) Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer receiving security updates, as of yesterday. 2) Webmin is explicitly not supported by Ubuntu. 3) ebox recently switched to a split paid/free model, which concerns some of its community members. === tm3 is now known as tylermolamphy2 [09:05] AlanMeta: no idea. I dont use ebox.. [09:05] !ebox [09:05] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [09:05] I note that (1) means it's not supported in this channel, and that you really should upgrade. [09:05] AlanMeta: webmin is totally ubsupported by ubuntu these days [09:05] !webmin [09:05] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.

[09:08] oly562: you add the user to the proper group.. i belive . if it allready exists. [09:08] Bert-: please don't recommend that people edit /etc/sudoers directly. Have then use the "visudo" tool; it does sanity checking so they're not hosed if they make a syntax error. [09:08] oly562, you want your new use rhave the same right as the old one ????

[09:12] and before logging out check if sudo works [09:12] just put it in the admin group [09:12] from the new user [09:12] put in admin group can?

[09:37] ubuntu [09:37] luckydog: see if that flash drive can boot in other machines.. If it can boot in those.. but not in this one. that would point to your pc having issues booting from usb. You could always burn a cd to install from. [09:37] can i put a root floder on my desktop [09:37] is visual basic strong? [09:37] ok. thanks. [09:38] my sound is not working in 10.10 [09:38] its my media box ;) [09:38] slyyijian0: its total garbage from what ive seen. [09:38] vinod need some more data than that [09:38] slyyijian0: Seriously, you should look for a Visual Basic-channel. Also, I prefere C# over VB. [09:39] sudo adduser kevin root [09:39] oh my gad ,your words are many wrongs [09:40] slyyijian0: whatever.. its not ubuntu related.. look elsewhere. have a nice day [09:40] but i study it long time ,if change i will be ill [09:40] i recently install ubuntu 10.10 and after that i install ubuntu restricted extras but it not working my sound is not working [09:41] slyyijian0: i consider vb a waste of time learning.. go learn Python. [09:41] vinod, first thing to do is open a terminal type alsamixer and make sure no sliders are down or muted [09:41] I just installed ubuntu and I'm not getting any sound, any clue? [09:41] eli_, same for you open a terminal type alsamixer and make sure no sliders are down or muted [09:41] yay python [09:41] :) [09:42] luv it [09:42] i to be a root member but cant copy file to www, why? [09:42] Ive proberly learned a dozen languages over the years.. the more you learn.. the easier it gets to learn new ones. :) if you can avoid the habbits of the old ones.

[09:43] coz_ i open alsamixer but how i know that which in mute or not or how i change their value [09:43] oh,please tell me how many softwares are visual basic did? [09:44] vinod, well...if there is a "MM" just below the slider it is muted and can be unmuted by hitting the keyboard letter "m" and use the arrow keys to increase the volumes on the sliders [09:44] i cant to be a root right? [09:44] vinod, if unmuting and arrows dont move slider volume then that particular option is unavailable [09:44] i also put me id in root group la [09:45] slyyijian0 whats your question? [09:45] slyyijian0: python is very well done and has dozens of good guides tolearn it. [09:45] slyyijian0: we dont care about Visual Basic.. so if you want to know about it.. go ask in #windows === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [09:45] !info gambas [09:45] Package gambas does not exist in maverick [09:46] any other clue about what could be wrong configured in my system (sound is not working) [09:46] eli_, well probably the best channels to go to would be #pulseaudio and #alsa :) [09:46] i unmuted all full the slider but sound doesnt works [09:46] eli_: does the speakler at the top right show a volume control? or an X over it? [09:46] Hello my connection wifi in lubuntu is many more low that in windows that is excellent, to which it is possible to have to?

[09:49] FunkyDude, for faster OS i would suggest Ubuntu's parent but that would be blasphemy here [09:49] :) [09:50] Eh, it works sometimes; trick is to figure out where it's bottlnecking. :-) [09:50] willis i use lubuntu 10.04 this distro have the same wifi problem [09:50] ? [09:50] im good, have a nice night, enjoy, and thanks for the heads up for those who helped. l8 [09:50] hop [09:50] gos: since the core of lubuntu is the same kernel/drivers as Ubuntu.. it can have the same issues [09:51] FunkyDude read this for features of 10.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes [09:51] 是中国人的出来！！！！ [09:52] 难道没有国人？ [09:52] How do I set my dpi for gdm?

[09:57] polly55: or use gparted on the live cd.. (you may need to install it first) [09:58] polly55: check 'dmesg' output when it fails also.. its possible its a hard drive failure issue.

Anyway, thank you [10:17] horsenounaway: you have a proper fstab entry for that drive? if not.. you are missing some optiojns in your command.

[10:20] its has UID= and a bunch of numbers [10:20] jockey [10:21] horsenounaway: uid=XXXX replaces the /dev/sdXX type entries [10:21] ill fstab u [10:21] the Additional Dirvers is not displaying anything [10:21] horsenounaway yeah Dr_Willis is rigth [10:21] horsenounaway plug it to your PC and reboot [10:23] hi [10:23] lspci -v displays manything which one is the wifi ? === |ka1ser| is now known as ka1ser [10:25] In which repository can i find mod_dav_svn.so and mod_authz_svn.so ?

[10:31] Dr_Willis : /dev/sdc /media/portable auto rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 [10:32] although it did make another folder in my media folder with two __ instead of one [10:32] horsenounaway: you did make the directory /media/portable ? also its proberly /dev/sdc1 NOT /dev/sdc [10:32] i checked [10:32] its sdc [10:32] horsenounaway: vecayse it automounted it.. ignoreing the wrong fstab line.. [10:32] it was sdg1 before reboot [10:32] horsenounaway: thsi is a hard drive? what filesystem? i would be VERY suprised if its sdc. and not sdc1 [10:33] fat32 [10:33] horsenounaway: check with 'sudo fdisk -l' and see wht all partitons are shown on the system [10:33] disk utility says sdc [10:33] sqaushfs [10:33] /dev/sdc [10:33] hello [10:33] horsenounaway: check 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc' [10:33] My ISP is blocking all outgoing requests to port 8000 .

[10:35] should i remove the parition [10:35] yeh [10:35] horsenounaway: that would mean its sdc1 [10:35] oh ffs [10:36] horsenounaway: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and we can see the whole layout.

Not sdc1 if you plug in a different usb hd. it will get things confused. [10:38] how do i get the uuid [10:38] sdc = the drive.. sdc1 = partition 1 on the hd. [10:38] !uuid [10:38] 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) [10:38] blkid command. :) [10:38] legendary [10:39] ha, the folder it was making in media 9122-948B__ is the uuid [10:39] how do I disbale the keyring ? [10:39] without the __ [10:39] heh [10:40] I did not have this gnome-keyring before....but suddenly now it is poping up with every startup [10:41] horsenounaway: yep thats how it defaults. if the filesystem has no 'label' on ot. [10:41] anygivenname: you can set it to have a blank password. so it dosent show up. [10:42] anygivenname: alt-f2 run 'seahorse' -> right click on Login: set the password.. set it to be blank. and ho it ok when it asks to 'use unsafe storage' [10:42] DR_Willis: the gnome-keyring...is it the sytem password ? === james is now known as Guest77982 [10:43] anygivenname: you gave it a password at one time.. you proberly used your login pass out of habbit. [10:43] what the hell it went read only again [10:43] DR_Willis: this gnome-keyring...is it the sytem password or is it the network manager password ? [10:43] i was in the middle of copying files now they all have locks on them [10:44] anygivenname: no idea.. it could be either.. or a different one.. it asks for a password the first time its used.. and you gave it one... [10:44] anyway to chmod the whole drive? [10:44] horsenounaway: you do NOT chmode/chown a ntfs/vfat. You set the proper options via fstab. [10:45] horsenounaway: the ntfs-config tool can do that for you also i belive. [10:45] Dr_Willis i did that, i showed you the line i put [10:45] horsenounaway: use umask/uid/gid option to mount [10:45] where do i put that in the fstab line? [10:45] after noauto,user,exec? [10:46] hi [10:46] yes. its an opion [10:46] option [10:46] same options vfat uses as ntfs and ntfs-3g uses..

[10:50] naftilos76: pulse audio is the default in ubuntu. yes. [10:50] ok thanks [10:51] I have to close my ibus-daemon in order to play a game, and when I do it goes into "zombie". I created a shortcut to restart it, but instead of restarting the zombied one it starts a new one. How can I create a shortcut to restart the zombied one?

[11:14] it's onboard, not a card [11:14] it's still a network card [11:15] it just doesn't offer an option to connect - and i'm not sure how to look for a card.

[11:16] horsenounaway: if it does it again.. check 'dmesg' command at the end it may mention some IO errirs.. [11:17] will do [11:17] thanks [11:17] Welcome, I've just bought a new laptop Asus N53JN with 2 graphics card Intel+geforce gt335m. The 2 problems are: that the sound card is detected but there's no sound at all. (Tried couple of things, mixers etc). The 2 problem is that I after install nvidia drivers from repo or nvidia website Ubuntu will not boot. Can You please help or guide me?

[11:27] sometux: what ? [11:27] ikonia, ok, will change xorg to nvidia and save both logs to files. Then paste it to pastebin.com [11:27] I'm pretty new to compilation, but I did manage to compile and install a newer gtk+ on Lucid [11:27] mac__: good idea [11:27] oops :) [11:27] Dr_Willis, same sthing here.

You can have a 'virtual machine' [11:28] aprilhare: next time it stops working, we'll work it through more [11:28] scotty^_: what is the console output after you make? use pastebin [11:28] ikonia: new web filter installed at work so i want to figure out it's type from the message it returns when a match fount [11:28] *found [11:28] thanks ikonia ill check it out [11:28] sometux: nothing to do with ubuntu - talk to your work admins [11:29] what site is available to upload a printscreen file?

Can do that if You like? [11:39] amartin: it's tool late, your nvidia.com modules will have overrode the config [11:40] amartin: it also looks like it doesn't like having both the nvidia and the intel card active at the same time [11:40] is screwed-up textures a known bug in mutter [11:40] ? [11:40] Has this atime, relatime "patch" by Linus Torvalds improved disk i/o in busy linux servers much?

[11:41] ubuntu has a disk cache too does it nawt [11:41] extor: it is a generic linux question [11:41] What does "simultaneous output to internal audio analog stereo" do?

Checked in bios but doesn't have any options to change it [11:42] amartin: that maybe a big part of the problem [11:44] hi, im trying to route all traffic for one user over a vpn. i've set up an alternate routing table, marked their outbound traffic and routed it into the new table. when the user tries to telnet to say, www.google.com port 80, with tcpdump i can see the syn going out, a syn/ack coming back in but then it stops there and never connects... can anyone give me some direction for debugging this? [11:45] weirdly enough, if i set a static route in the main routing table, the user with the alt routing table can suddenly talk to the host [11:46] hello there.

[12:26] is there a way I can install ubuntu and set the driver display (during install) to vesa to that when I reboot I get a decent visual (to then configure the xdriver to nvidia)? I ask because I have sony vaio vpcz13m9e/b (dual GPU intel/nvidia) and after the first reboot (which sets xdriver to intel) I get a black screen and can't do a thing. [12:26] i have noticed that downloads are slower under transmission than under uTorrent [12:26] is there some specific reason for this? [12:26] MichealH, this is on topic. OsamaK, you mean it's not open source - it's certainly free. if it were doing anything devious, we would know. it's an incredibly small, efficient C program, and you can inspect it's sockets - they're all legit [12:26] is there any other way to add repo other than add-apt-repository command [12:27] I can't seem to get any Adobe AIR programs to open URLs in a browser after upgrading to 10.10?

[12:27] frostbyt3, usually within the FLOSS community, when we speak of 'free' we refer to freedom. === jonathan_ is now known as beilabs [12:27] frostbyt3: I dont think 'lol what?' is on topic? [12:28] i have noticed that downloads are slower under transmission than under uTorrent [12:28] rigved, ok [12:28] MichealH, it got him to further explain what he just mentioned, did it not? perhaps I should be more verbose [12:28] im done here [12:28] @hardfire there is but gettin the key isnt much easier with gui [12:28] !patience | rigved [12:28] ubuntu is flawless. its rocks.. everything works for me...................................................../m\ [12:28] pankaj_sharma: :) [12:29] hey [12:29] hack, oh! why m not able to get keys using the command .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/519226/ [12:29] rigved: Please dont repeat yourself [12:29] MichealH-Web: i have no problem with waiting [12:29] Anyone know how to fix empathy (default chat client), it never seems to work [12:29] and when it do work, it breaks other stuff [12:29] rigved: But as the bot said someone will answer soon [12:30] rigved: Have you tried wine?

Thank you. [12:39] YoungGUN, are you trying to create a bootable live cd of ubuntu? [12:39] Genieliu: you can edit the file manually, or you can delete the file and let xorg try to work it dyanamically [12:39] How can I start X within certain virtual console?

[13:03] I am japan.english beginner [13:03] most of the time there is stuff saying "Press F1 for BIOS options" and "Press tab to continue" (the keys vary on different PCs) === blackman is now known as bawe3 [13:04] Martin``: he said about ebios , not bios [13:04] !jp [13:04] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [13:04] pksadiq: oh, sorry, I read it as bios === sean is now known as Guest59093 [13:06] Hello all [13:06] I'm studying English.thank you. It's very hard [13:06] If I wanna use the TV out (svideo) on my Nvidia card, what do I need to do? (ubuntu 10.04.1) [13:07] I've checked some forum threads, but they're all pretty old (2007-2008) [13:07] lidbjork: pretty old doesn't mean wrong [13:07] Sude: have you tried the channel ##english? it is quite good. [13:07] lidbjork, i think you have to use nvidia control panel that ships with nvidias proprietary driver [13:08] rooks: Ok. [13:08] Welcome Back YoungGUN [13:08] syslinux 3.82 2009-06-09 ebios copyright (c) 1994-2009 h peter anvin et al [13:08] thats what it says and just stays there [13:08] lidbjork, ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6106/nvidia-settings-user-guide.txt [13:09] thanks MichealH :) [13:09] hey [13:09] rooks: Oh, that's interesting [13:09] anyone got a ps3 controller working with ubuntu [13:09] ? [13:09] any ideas? [13:10] lidbjork, yup, i solved some graphics driver issues myself by using ati's control panel :) [13:10] YoungGUN: looks like your image is inavlid [13:10] invalid [13:10] what could cause it? === krufflwuffl is now known as 64MAASL8D [13:10] ive written the image multipletimes [13:10] !open office [13:11] What is the open office freenode channel? [13:11] rooks: Just a basic question -- will I have to install some nvidia drivers before I use this nvidia-settings app, or am I perhaps already using nvidia drivers by default? [13:11] lidbjork, since i have ati and not nvidia :) [13:11] I found it, #openoffice.org. for those who don't know. [13:12] lidbjork, system → administration → additional drivers / hardware drivers [13:12] ikonia could it be my bootup settings? [13:13] YoungGUN: what bootup settings? [13:14] rooks: Yes, I tried that. It says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and then shows a small list of nvidia drivers to install. It doest't, however, show what drivers I AM using at the moment. [13:14] my bios [13:14] its booting usb stick first :x [13:14] so im not sure why it shows a linux ebios screen and doesnt go anywhere [13:14] YoungGUN: because the media it's booting from is not correct [13:14] rooks: But I guess I should go ahead and try to install them. [13:14] lidbjork, i thin youre using opensource nvidia drivers by default [13:15] Does someone know why when I insert an epsilone formula my open office document is garbage instead of that epsilon? [13:15] I tried openoffice but they don't answer. [13:15] hi! i have my home partion in 84%, how i know what file or direcotry are using this space i konw it is an aplication but now i don't remember the name thx [13:15] ikonia so what do you suggest i do? [13:15] hey is there a way to get macbook pro running 10.10 to accept the fact that i have two fingers? #thouchpad #drag&drop :D [13:15] rooks: Ok, yeah, that would make sense. But I guess I can't use the nvidia-settings panel with the open source drivers. [13:15] YoungGUN: investigate why your usb image is not correct [13:16] well what could cause it? its my first time trying to dual boot :x 9.10 created a image perfectly [13:16] and booted first time :X [13:16] lidbjork, its only on proprietary drivers, have you btw tried system → preferences → monitors , when you rebooted your computer with tvout cable attached to your computer? [13:16] i figured id give 10.10 and go and ive written it 3 times with 2 different sticks [13:16] YoungGUN: it's nothing to do with dual boot [13:16] YoungGUN: ahhh hang on [13:16] YoungGUN: there is a known bug with 10.10 images [13:16] Hi all [13:17] ahhhh so 10.10 wont boot from stick [13:17] Emilianop, hi [13:17] rooks: Yes, I've tried that with no luck, no response at all from the tv [13:17] hi marcus_iah [13:17] YoungGUN: hang on [13:17] so i should just stick with 9.10 until 10.10 is fixed ikonia? [13:17] YoungGUN: what OS are you using to make the usb stick [13:17] does anybody use sky2 module, for marvell network with success? [13:17] kk ;) [13:18] lidbjork, hmm. sucks, i guess only way out is to install proprietary drivers and mangle with nvidia control panel [13:18] win7 [13:18] YoungGUN: that's the problem, [13:18] YoungGUN: ooh, win 7 [13:18] YoungGUN: what tool are you using to make the stick ? [13:18] usb-creator.exe [13:19] who use win7 ? [13:19] YoungGUN: no idea about that tool, ask the guys in ##windows [13:19] YoungGUN: there is a bug with usb-creator on 9.10 and 10.04 making 10.10 images, but that's not your problem [13:19] formatted sticks to fat32 [13:19] rooks: Ok, I'll try. [13:20] YoungGUN: Perhaps you could try with UNetbootin [13:20] ikonia its the tool that comes with ubuntu [13:20] Hi Folks, before I even try this, will WUBI work on the RAID0 that my windows lives on? Anyone aware of issues with WUBI+RAID ? [13:20] yeah i saw that as an alternative [13:20] (hardware raid) [13:20] does it have the same bugs though X-Sleepy-X [13:20] YoungGUN: Don't know. [13:20] YoungGUN: a windows 7 application comes with ubuntu ? [13:20] yessir ikonia ;P [13:20] YoungGUN: how can that be ? [13:20] mount iso, explorer iso, and bam usb-creator.exe [13:21] i dunnoo :P they realize people are trying to do what i am doing [13:21] and want to go to ubuntu and dont have cd's laying around [13:21] YoungGUN: ooh, you mean on the actual CD [13:21] YoungGUN: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [13:21] well yeah :P sorry should of clarified that:P [13:21] I'll have better luck in a wine channel or something, bye. [13:21] YoungGUN: download the later version [13:22] rooks: I was thinking about making a backup of my xorg.conf, but I can't find it anywhere. (Looked in /etc/X11, /etc, and other places) [13:22] I forget, what's the command used to change the version of glibc you use to compile programs? [13:23] After activating compiz my keyboard shortcuts dont work (like alt+F2). How do I fix this? [13:23] now dont shoot the noob here, i know ubuntu is linux, so will this create a ubuntu image or an alternative linux os? [13:23] memetic: you should not have multiple versions of glibc on your machine [13:23] YoungGUN: ubuntu [13:24] anyone have a system76 lemur? [13:24] lidaobing, generate the file xorg.conf service gdm stop ; Xorg -configure ; service gdm start [13:24] thanks ikonia ;) let me give this ago [13:24] lidbjork, by default there is no xorg, all is autoconfigured, an i think control pnel will make backups, tho im not sure [13:24] holy fuck its raining like a river outside [13:24] YoungGUN: drop the language [13:24] YoungGUN: it's a support channel we don't care about the weather and that language is not welcome [13:24] YoungGUN: no-one is talking to you like that, so don't talk to the channel like that [13:25] :X language is just vibrations of the throat though :( its just words, how can a word be "bad" [13:25] its like me saying the word cat is bad, because i "say so" [13:26] :/ [13:26] im not trying to argue, just a simple debate. [13:26] :@ [13:26] YoungGUN: your now muted, join #ubuntu-ops if you want your mute removed [13:26] oO [13:26] Anyone here tried using WUBI on raid array? [13:27] Tryptych: shouldn't matter as the hostos (windows) can control the raid ok [13:27] rooks: Ok [13:27] ikonia: sorry.. brainfart. I mean the default version of gcc used to compile programs. I had to change it to use 4.4, but I think I need to use 4.3. [13:27] ok thanks [13:28] The reason being that when I update, reboot, I have to rebuild my nvidia drivers. The process informs me that the gcc used to compile my kernel and the one being used to compile the driver differ [13:29] memetic: use PATH, or CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.3 [13:29] Is it possible to forward Windows Applications to Ubuntu using xming and putty [13:30] has anyone managed to print to a ubuntu/cups server with a windows vista/7 client? [13:30] you can have both 4.3 and 4.4 installed and use change the symbolic link as needed [13:31] just* [13:32] .... [13:33] Would anyone mind giving me a quick hand with an Xorg issue? [13:33] Does anyone know why I get a segfault whenever running OpenGL programs? lspci | grep VGA gives http://codepad.org/xDBeaVFz [13:34] Seem to be gettinga black screen when I run X -config /root/xorg.conf.new after typing X -configure [13:34] *getting a [13:35] intelminer: is that the right place for xorg.conf, did you point to it [13:35] hi to all [13:36] she_dyed: yeah, file exists, can open it in nano and whatnot [13:36] but does X know about it [13:36] intelminer: ^ [13:36] can someone tell me how to delete ore format particoins with VMFS file system,this is my fdisk -l report [13:37] she_dyed: Yeah, X -config /root/xorg.conf.new to test the new configuration, before copying it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:37] Hello [13:37] intelminer: gotcha [13:37] Hi, is there any way to view .XCF images , without GIMP ? [13:37] Are there wireless usb-sticks which works for ubuntu 10.10 server? [13:37] ikonia: is there a file in /etc that would by default have the CC variable set? [13:37] Anyone managed to install python 2.7 on ubuntu 10.04? [13:38] intelminer: the Xorg.log (in /var/logs ) might show severe EE errors [13:38] memetic: normally your personal environment (.bashrc) that you use to set it [13:38] anyone know why OpenGL causes segfaults? [13:38] ah, managed to install the printer. it seems windows is 110% unable to discover cups printers [13:39] miasma: even using IP addresses? [13:39] miasma: oh? ive had it work here with very few issues. [13:39] she_dyed: does not seem to [13:39] Hmm.. flood bot4 kicked 3? [13:39] lol... [13:40] bot wars! [13:40] Dr_Willis: on it [13:40] does any one know about mkssoftware ? [13:40] suit up! [13:40] she_dyed: it worked when i gave the http://server:631/printers/printername url [13:40] can anyone tell me how i can disable opendns? i cannot go to the sites i have to because of opendns and even though i have revoked the settings, it does not fix the problem [13:40] she_dyed: but the auto-discovery doesn't work [13:40] ok nice well done miasma [13:40] she_dyed: all linux clients discover the printers automatically [13:40] ikonia: Hmm. Is there a proper way to gcc -v and get 4.3 instead of 4.4 that doesn't involve symlinks? I ask because I swear someone told me to use some program where I went in and picked the version of GCC to use and it did everything else for me in Ubuntu. Now I can't remember how to undo it. [13:41] memetic: set your path correctly, [13:41] miasma: think of that "OS" ignoring linux' existence [13:41] memetic: update-alternatives ? [13:41] my internet is really slow for that reason and i cannot do anything i needed with the internet [13:41] she_dyed: seems so :F [13:41] nihao [13:42] hello [13:42] server (meerkat) doesn't seem to be locating my hard-drive - I gather the silicon image support has been removed from the kernel? [13:42] 谁会 安装linux 下的音乐软件 [13:43] hi [13:43] 我怎么装不上阿 [13:43] please anyone help me get opendns off my computer [13:43] !cn| admin123 [13:43] admin123: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:43] does anyone know of a cd ripper for ubuntu other than sound juicer (I've read its mp3 encoding is subpar) or rubyripper (can't find a deb for it)? [13:44] mod_sata doesn't show up in the list for harddrive drivers... any suggestions? i checked the silicon image site and they don't have a driver that can be loaded (i.e. they link to kernel.org with precompiled support) [13:44] datta: set your dns servers to be somthing else. - or set it back to dhcp. also check your router if you have one. [13:44] ok [13:44] grogoreo: most of those tools are front ends to the various back end tooms. [13:45] Dr_Wills: okay i am trying that [13:47] ikonia: used ur program u suggested [13:47] doing first reboot now to give it a whirl [13:47] brb [13:47] ok [13:47] ikonia: thank you. update-alternatives --config gcc seems to look very familiar. [13:47] memetic: you know that just creates/removes symlinks ? [13:48] I know, but it is frustrating not to remember the process I followed. [13:48] Or that I might have forgotten to export all the appropriate environment variables, or something. :) [13:49] ikonia just confirming it booted this time ;) headed back to go install it finally [13:49] thanks for the help forfinding an alternative writer, ill be back once i get ubuntu all setup [13:49] these floodbots sure flood alot [13:49] YoungGUN: it's a bug between syslinux and the application [13:50] ahh :) windows always has issue [13:50] YoungGUN: not a windows issue, [13:50] Tryptych: it's why they're called floodbots! [13:50] syslinux is the key there [13:50] Tryptych: but no seriously, they're having issues at the moment ;( [13:50] ljl: someone should teach them how to use pastebin! :) [13:50] ;) okay, ill be back once i get it officially installed [13:51] yarrrght, can someone help me D: [13:51] whenever i plug ANYTHING to usb or boot this pc, cd drive opens and i was fine with that [13:51] BUT now when i plug my cam/usb stick it wont show up anywhere (not even desktop) [13:52] zode: try plugging your usb stick and running lsusb [13:52] k, lemme try that [13:53] zode: perhaps its just not being mounted by default [13:53] Hi people [13:53] zode: do other usb devices work? [13:53] Garos yes [13:54] my usb headphones work and Nokia BROADBAND connection works [13:54] and arduino works too [13:54] Could ufw interfere with sharing folders between two Ubuntu boxes? [13:54] hmm [13:54] then your flash drive might just not mount automatically [13:54] I'm having problems with Thunderbird. I'm trying to change the profile from my user to another and I can't do it. I've moved the folder with the profile inside .thunderbird and change the settings but doesn't work.. [13:54] garos its probably because (i dont know how to mount also) i edited some rules file [13:55] from some guide to get nokia broadband work [13:55] NetworkManager Applet 0.8: "Wired network connection 'Auto eth0' active". Left-click 'Enable Networking' is asserted. From what configuration file does NetworkManager take this information? [13:55] BUT it was BEFORE i noticed networking HAD this settings thing for broadband -_- [13:55] i cannot get rid of opendns can anyone help? [13:55] datta probably changing the DNS [13:55] zode: do a "ls /dev | grep sd" [13:55] datta have you changed it on the router? [13:55] kl0x: i have changed DNS for the connection settings but not the config files [13:56] hi! i have my home partion in 84%, how i know what file or direcotry are using this space i konw it is an aplication but now i don't remember the name thx [13:56] kl0x: no on the computer [13:56] anything on the sata sii3114 support being dropped? [13:56] hhlp, use the disk usage analyzer [13:56] blahw: where did you hear about that? [13:56] datta: so If you've got a DNS error you are redirected to opendns website? (for example) [13:56] now it outputted some random text [13:56] kl0x: yes [13:56] with sd written in red [13:56] ok [13:57] and a, a1, a2, a5, b, c, d on white [13:57] swedemike - not working on my computers (couple of different ones) different hard drives etc [13:57] what comes after sd? [13:57] ok [13:57] last one that worked was 9.10 [13:57] jjlp: you have an application for that, hdd analyzer or something like that [13:57] kl0x: the config file i cannot edit or delete, i think doing that maybe would solve the case === LiquidDemocracy is now known as didy [13:57] blahw: I know plenty people who use it, I can't really imagine support being dropped. [13:57] datta: you cannot change it why? [13:57] datta: permissions? [13:57] kl0x: yes [13:57] zode: run "sudo fdisk -l" [13:57] now I'm getting - no hard drive, select your drivers from the list - and no silicon image drivers [13:57] datta: have you tried with sudo? [13:58] hhlp must be sowhere in menus === didy is now known as diddy [13:58] Done; some random info of my harddrive i guess [13:58] kl0x: no i did it on the natulius not on the terminal [13:58] yeah I know :P but I loaded the server edition (since I don't want the desktop) and apparently the silicon image drivers were compiled into the kernel. [13:58] does a line have "fat" under system? [13:58] ciao [13:58] !list [13:58] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [13:58] datta: then try with terminal, if it's because of permissions you should make it easy [13:59] I'ld settle for a link to some drivers .. stuck on "You mamy need to load drivers drom removeable media..." [13:59] kl0x: do you use opendns? [13:59] datta: yup [13:59] hey guys, is there an easy way to start|stop inetd services like telnet? [13:59] kl0x: are you getting problem with it, like the sites you are supposed to go to does not get in? [13:59] datta: i've got it configured on the router [13:59] datta: not yet [13:59] What's that \ 8 part do? gedit ~/.wine/Flash\ 8 [14:00] kl0x: i think it's in my area that this is happening then [14:00] sms_, \ is used to "escape" character - in this case, allow the space [14:00] datta: mmm then try your ips' settings but i like odns [14:01] hey guys, is there an easy way to start|stop inetd services like telnet? [14:01] kl0x: my internet just went slow also so i need to delete all of it [14:02] The_Janitor, FYI telnet is a terrible security risk - you should investigate SSH as an alternative - if possible. [14:02] datta: I gtg so i hope someone else helps you soon =) I'd try to change it on the router, i don't have any dns configured on the eth* [14:03] kl0x: no problem [14:03] datta: so cya, have a good day [14:03] Debian based distro's have are known for having a VERY secure SSH patch [14:03] kl0x: same to you [14:03] good day all, c ya [14:03] hey guys, is there an easy way to start|stop inetd services like telnet? [14:03] The_Janitor: the launch on request, controlled by inetd [14:03] The_Janitor: what is it you really want to do? [14:04] The_Janitor: auto stop/start on request for service [14:04] well i want to use telknet, but only on a localhost basis after i ssh in [14:04] The_Janitor: you appear to be using arch, not ubuntu [14:04] so i dont want it running as a daemon unless i start it [14:04] well yes..... [14:04] so? [14:04] The_Janitor: so stop askign in #ubuntu [14:04] The_Janitor: this is an ubuntu channel [14:04] are youkidding me?? [14:04] The_Janitor: no [14:04] The_Janitor: there are archlinux support channels [14:05] maybe i also run an ubuntu boz? [14:05] box [14:05] The_Janitor: are you running an ubuntu box ? [14:05] The_Janitor: look into hosts.allow and hosts.deny [14:05] The_Janitor Yeah, if you want a usable and mostly secure linux, arch is better [14:05] yes i am actually [14:05] i have two stations at hom [14:05] The_Janitor: show me the output of uname -a [14:05] the particular question i am asking is for my ubuntu box, hence why i am on an ubuntu channel asking a question about ubuntu [14:05] I have this nerolinux-4.0.0.0-x86_64.rpm how do i install it?

[14:08] I'd be asking for help to if I was ever caught using ubuntu [14:08] mulvane: stop trolling or you'll be removed [14:08] how do I know? [14:08] mulvane: if you don't use ubuntu/have no need for support, please be quiet [14:08] hi [14:08] ikonia I'm trying to be helpful and show him a better alternative exist [14:08] hi i have a problem with 10.10, i'm trying to update but it get stucked at generating grub.cfg, what can i do? [14:09] mulvane: that's not what this channels about, support ubuntu - or don't help === eric is now known as Guest77116 [14:09] Dan_E, from a terminal type "uname -m" [14:09] k [14:10] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/6S1yYktP [14:10] aristo, use sudo apt-get install startupmanager [14:10] The_Janitor: ahh perfect [14:10] its confirmed linux kernal support for sata sii3114 has been dropped in most recent version. loaded up 9.10 server and it read the drive fine no problem. [14:10] i686 [14:10] The_Janitor: two issues there, first one is you have inetd and xinetd, which one are you currently using?

[14:17] nsd__ maybe with webmin [14:17] The_Janitor: odd, dpkg shows it removed [14:17] nsd__: you have to be root to turn a machine off remotely [14:17] aristo: webmin is not supported [14:17] sms_: "man bash" part "special parameter" * [14:17] mustkill, open alsamixer and press F6 [14:18] OK [14:18] izinucs: not even after editing the sudoers file?

[14:22] mario__ well you need to create a mount point and then do mount /dev/sdaX /youRMountPoint [14:22] ubuXubu: with an ubuntu install you have one /swap partition you can make whatever size you want.. but it's not used much..

[15:02] Kai696: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 make sure its not mounted! [15:02] thanks ! Also..would either of you be familiar with dd_rescue? [15:02] Kai696: yes, why [15:02] i have some problem connecting to wifi !! [15:02] can someone help ? [15:03] can you back up to a dvd with sbackup? if so how? [15:03] Never really used it before, trying to make a backup of my /dev/sdd drive as it seems to have suffered a fatal error.. I want to make sure I am doing it right @ Ikonia [15:03] datta: no, you need to make an iso image for that [15:03] ikonia: and what do you use to make the iso image? [15:03] Kai696: if it's suffered a fatal error, it may not work as the device is having a problem [15:03] datta: mkisofs [15:03] Cars10: did you say that you have installed it just recently? [15:03] how to automatically connect to hidden wifi network ? [15:04] how to automatically connect to hidden wifi network ? [15:04] rigved: yes i just started [15:04] ikonia: is there anything gui? [15:04] yugal: configure it in the network manager, and click the "auto connect" box [15:04] datta: most dvd/cd burners [15:04] no I can transfer data over using sudo /dev/sdd /dev/sda3 but it won't boot aso I think it's am MBR problem. we were going to pull the data off before I brought it into the store to save some money though :P @ Ikonia [15:04] rigved something about swfdec-mozilla [15:04] Kai696: what did you use to transfer the data [15:04] hi all, I'm looking for instructions on how to have an ubuntu installation boot from a usb thumbdirve but keep configuration settings on the hard-disk after boot, anyon has some ideas? [15:04] Cars10: if yes, then did you get an "unmet dependency error"? [15:05] cloversg: Just curious, why not just installed to the hdd? [15:05] ikonia: I did that.. but it takes about 3-4 mins before trying to connect ! [15:05] i have another problem [15:05] rigved: dunno maybe i should try to install it in english [15:05] CArs10 I'm notsure what you mean? .. sorry... I used dd_rescue to transfer and it's got all these weird files there now. the filesystem is FAt32 but i think i will convert to EXT4 for ease of use === james is now known as Guest55033 [15:05] ed_ am trying to have a 6-drive software Raid 5 nas, however ubuntu cannot boot from the raid [15:05] Hello, I need some help identifying what theme and what icons this is using? http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1287917531761.png anyone please. [15:05] ikonia: It should connect right away after boot [15:05] cloversg: yes, last Ubuntu releases has persistent storage function === Guest55033 is now known as lyn [15:05] Cars10: rigved swfdec-mozilla has something to do with playing flash files in browser.. might be a flash issue. [15:06] utilitytrack, agreed, but these are on the thumbdrive that does not release memory [15:06] when im listening to mp3, and i change song manualy, mediaplayer crashes, i click the mp3 again to load it and it crashes instantly ( loads up, playback song for 1 sec n crash [15:06] somehow my SIL3114 doesn't allow the raid to boot, hence the reason [15:06] hi all, How do I open home directory when it ecrypted ? [15:06] cloversg: Aaa, sorry I know you can store sessions right on the usb drive. Not sure how to do it on to another drive like a HDD. Perhaps you can make a partition on your hdd and make that your home? The rest of the settings should be held on the usb. [15:06] cloversg: what you mean?

I know it is in alt + F2 but i forget what to type? [15:07] why would i get and flash issue in the command line [15:07] So which command should i use to save the drive (using dd_Rescue) to save it as an image? [15:07] hi, when i start my live stick (netbook remix 10.4) everything is black and i even cant get to console... anyone help please [15:07] izinucs: yes but it is probably because Cars10 has an outdated system [15:07] Cars10: ok, type the following commands in the same order as i type them [15:07] its 10.10 [15:07] sudo apt-get update [15:08] utilitytrack, somehow the SIL3114 drive controller does not allow the boot. I've simulated a 6-drive raid5 on vmware and it works, but not on actual hardware. googling has also showed that other people have the same problem [15:08] sudo apt-get upgrade [15:08] its running in virtualbox [15:08] sudo apt-get install xorg gdm gnome [15:08] hi iam unable to use voip software [15:08] psyt7: see man synaptics(4) if your touchpad uses Synaptics driver [15:08] Cars10: type these three commands [15:08] ok hold on [15:09] problem with voip software [15:09] Cars10: you will have to confirm the download of many packages after the typing of each command [15:09] Am I gonna have any problems with using a HD with sector size of 4096bytes instead of the usual 512? [15:09] One further question guys, Gparted is showing I have an NTFS partition (sda1) with a (!) flag next to it.. I'm not sure why I have it, and it's only 9GB.. is there a way I can get rid of it ? [15:09] could any of u tell me how to configure wine [15:09] cloversg: sorry me, but I'm not an expert in RAID [15:09] ravimaddula, wine should be ok directly from the site/update [15:10] Kai696: Click on it and view properties. The partition probably contains errors [15:10] rigved: ah.. didn't know that.. [15:10] hmm [15:10] utilitytrack, not asking for help on RAID but help from booting from a USB, and saving the configuration on another drive/location [15:10] rigved: no confirmatitions [15:10] should i need to update wine inorder to work my voip software [15:11] still same error [15:11] cloversg: Make a partition on one of your hdds. Edit your /etc/fstab on the usb drive to mount that partition as /home. [15:11] ravimaddula, no i don't thinks o [15:11] Kai696: that could be the hidden partition containing the image file of windows the system uses to restore windows after a failure..... [15:11] cloversg: Because of the way that Ubuntu saves things you do everything should be preserved. [15:11] cloversg: I not see any problems. Copy configs and enjoy :)) [15:11] ed_ not so much the /home, but how about /etc and /var [15:11] izinuc, makes sense...not sure how I can activate it however [15:11] cloversg: Those are preserved automatically I believe. [15:12] cloversg: Have you noticed otherwise? [15:12] Hello, I have got a short question: I want to build a small home server (file server, backup server and media streaming) and I'm deciding between Debian and Ubuntu. Which one will consume less power (and thus cost me less)? [15:13] trzu, they do not have any differences in power consumption [15:13] ed_ these are put in the persistent section, but as you know the usb has limited space and life span on writing [15:13] my windows applicatioble to acess the netn cant a [15:13] "Unable to find mount point,. Unable to read the contents of this file system!, because of this, some operations may be unavailable. The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfsporgs" <- [15:13] Cars10: when did you get the error? after typing the update command, upgrade or the install command? [15:13] garos, thank you. So I'll just flip a coin then. [15:13] trzu: I think it depends more on the kernel version they are using, and the apps (deamons running) you have installed... [15:13] trzu: strange question. It's not related to any distribution, because powersaving functions provided by Linux kernel [15:13] cars10: i tried the same commands in my qemu-ubuntu server, they seem to be working [15:14] cloversg: Yeah, but as you move more and more over to your hdd you'll discover all you really want on the usb is the /boot dir. ;) [15:14] how to configure network configuration in wine inorder to acess net [15:14] coz_: a little bit of issues... when I start and application (amarok, vlc...) using the eq, volume goes to 100%... [15:14] but utilitytrack, one can set power saving settings from any distro [15:14] Kai696: on boot there's typically a key you hit to get to it.. which key should flash on the screen along with how to get into the bios [15:14] ed_ agreed, however, need to install samba etc and there are settings in /etc etc, also the upgrades. [15:14] Looking for something like freenas [15:14] rigved: im stating all over installing again from ubuntu-10.10-server-i386.iso in english [15:15] Cars10: after typing the upgrade command, i was asked to confirm the download of 176 MB of packages [15:15] I'm looking for something like freenas [15:15] hey [15:15] izinucs Thanks :) Sir [15:15] i try to install xbmc === ubuntu is now known as Janiee [15:15] Cars10: i do not think that re-installing is going to solve it, but you can give it a try [15:15] antonella_bella, ah ok ..that part you may have to deal with in #pulseaudio [15:15] cloversg: The number of write it better controlled by the relatime mount option then controlling how many packages you install or something else. [15:15] Cars10: installing ubuntu-server takes a heck lot of time [15:15] hello everybody.. any latex users here? [15:16] i follow http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide but apt-get search xbmc gives no result i add necesaary repositıory [15:16] Cars10: in hours [15:16] what is wrong here [15:16] rigved: ok i got no confirm after upgrade and it took 2 secs [15:16] Turgon_Noldor: yep [15:16] what is .xsession-error, why is it 25GB and why does it grow by ~1GB/min? [15:16] Kai696: of course it could also be the backup image of windows that is used by a windows program to create install cd's after the initial purchase of a system.. [15:16] * vigge_sWe is confused [15:16] took about 20 mins i think [15:16] Cars10: then it means that you have an updated system [15:16] can someone tell me why mediaplayer/openshotVeditor crashes when im trying to preview/play video file? [15:17] Cars10: probably [15:17] rigved: Cars10 It takes 1 or 2 hours at the most. On a powerful enough server it might take 20 or 30 minutes. [15:17] vigge_sWe, it's an error log, that is growing large because of a large # of errors... [15:17] Cars10: I agree [15:17] ed_, ok... i want to add jpeg to document... [15:17] hmmm [15:17] Turgon_Noldor: Oh sorry, no idea :P Just attach the jpeg on another page XD [15:17] ill do an english install [15:17] yeah I know that, but why? And shouldn't programs clean themself when the error log is getting too large? [15:17] ed_, lol that's fine... :) [15:18] Cars10: ok [15:18] zode: because you use unstable version of it [15:19] vigge_sWe, depends... i had a rogue program called NMIS that i had to create a cron job to clean the logs for me, otherwise the hdd would fill up real quick. the solution was to track down the errors & fix 'em. [15:19] well, the file is so large I can't even open it [15:19] I can only see the first couple of lines [15:19] ed_: Cars10 has installed in VirtualBox, it is bound to take a very long time (but of course that depends on the amount of RAM given to the VM) [15:19] utilitytrack: unstable? but how come the video editor crashes too? [15:20] utilitytrack: also mp3's stopped crasing after i disabled that viz thing [15:20] Cars10: after that to install a GUI, type the three commands in order [15:20] utilitytrack: Well it does, but I want to install the server, Samba and MediaTomb without doing too much work otherwise, so I thought there is a difference between Debian and Ubuntu regarding the preinstalled Programs [15:20] rigved: ok [15:20] are there any trash folder on ubuntu? [15:20] vigge_sWe, tail :D [15:20] hello any tex user? [15:20] I removed the log, but the space is still not available [15:20] Howdie folks I'm trying to make a dd_rescue .img of one of my files; here's the output and command [15:20] zode: It seems that you use Ubuntu 10.10. It's beta software. Try downgrade to 9.10 [15:21] chad@chad-Aspire-X1700:~$ sudo dd_rescue /dev/sdd /dev/sda3/backup.img [15:21] dd_rescue: (fatal): open "/dev/sda3/backup.img" failed: Not a directory [15:21] When i plug in my headphone, speakers does not stop playing the sound. I get sound from both headphone and speakers. [15:21] vigge_sWe, how did you remove it? [15:21] utilitytrack: downgrade = format, reinstall? [15:21] ahmet -> this isn't helpful for your problem but I think that would be awesome lol [15:21] rm .xsession-error [15:21] reinstall with 9.10* [15:21] ahmet - what make and model is your computer? [15:21] trzu: no difference, because it's your choose what will installed and what not. [15:22] what does this mean? [15:22] php5-mysql: [15:22] Depends: php5-common (=5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed [15:22] which one do i have right now? [15:22] trzu: I mean Ubuntu server vs Debian [15:22] vigge_sWe, no that should've removed it. there is a 'trash can' so to speak, but only when you delete from the gui. rm removes it. [15:22] hmmm [15:22] utilitrack: Okay. So I only install what I need. What would you reccommend then, Debian or Ubuntu? The packages I need are available for both. [15:23] can I somehow see what the biggest file on the system is? === Pilif12p|afk is now known as Pilif12p [15:23] meatbun, sudo dpkg -l | grep php [15:23] but you may want to; apt-get -f install <- first [15:23] vigge_sWe, hrm there's probably some slick way to do it... i know of du. there's also the disk utilization utility if you're running ubuntu-desktop... [15:23] trzu: if you came asking in an ubuntu channel, the answer is... [15:23] yeah I tried the utility [15:24] trzu: Ubuntu is like Debian but easier, anyways it's your choice, but honestly, I prefer Ubuntu [15:24] vigge_sWe: you could play around with 'find' command [15:24] trzu: I recommend strongly Debian stable. Because it's very stable software. [15:24] unfortunately it seems broken [15:24] xangua I know, but I doubted there was a Debian.vs.Ubuntu-channel [15:24] it says / is only 7GB [15:24] utilitytrack: Yes, but what software uses it? firefox 1.2 hyper-patched? [15:24] chmod, ok. it says i have ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 server-side [15:24] trzu, that's the tradeoff. debian = more stable, but older software. ubuntu = more friendly, newer software - but bleeding edge is called that for a reason ;) [15:24] also, when I take properties on the filesystem, it says it's 128TB [15:25] chmod, but why it said "5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed" [15:25] Thank you for your reccommendations utilitytrack and EINota. I'll use debian then, because I only need tar, MediaTomb and Samba and that's available for debian-stable. [15:25] trzu: try Debian 5.0.6 if you wish set up good server [15:25] I can at least take screenshots now [15:25] trzu: well this isn't, arrrghhh bleeding edge¿ he could use LTS [15:26] ElNota: did you get answer [15:26] xangua, ubuntu is just a little riskier with their package choices than debian. [15:26] utilitytrack: And as xangua says, LTS versions are very stable [15:26] <|GoLTaR|> i need some help... if anybody can help me :) i have vps... and i want to make vhost ... i try to google some tutorial for that , but no luck :( can somebody help me? :) [15:26] Kai696 maybe it doesnt need 'backup.img' try leaving it out [15:26] http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t179/viggesWe/Screenshot-7.png [15:26] arrrghhh: don't talk nonsense, nothig risker [15:26] ikonia, not nonsense dude... [15:26] trzu: ya Debian-Lenny is very good, i have it on my laptop (only because Ubuntu Netbook cannot be installed on it as it is a very old laptop) [15:26] arrrghhh: there is nothing "riskier" about ubuntu than debian [15:26] !ot [15:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:26] ElNota: my experience did not confirm this [15:27] php5-common (=5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 is to be installed <--- which one is the newer one? [15:27] Hello. I'm using Arch Linux and want to install Ubuntu in its partition. The thing is, I have a encrypted /home and the installer doesn't have an option to mount the partition during installation. What should I do? [15:27] Is MyPhoneExplorer compatible with Ubuntu 10.04 - 10.10? [15:27] revberaldo: use a seperate home [15:27] utilitytrack: In my opinion Debian is like Ubuntu but with old applications [15:27] ikonia, whatever dude, as xangua said this is OT. it's my opinion from running both. i wasn't expressing it to you. [15:27] meatbun, it is a depends for 5.3.-1ubuntu4 - the new/replacement is 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 [15:27] ikonia: it is separated [15:27] ElNota, Ubuntu is built on Debian so that would make sense :P [15:28] revberaldo: then you have nothing to worry about the encypted partition is nothing to do with your ubuntu install [15:28] hi all [15:28] chmod, i dpkg -l |php says i have 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 , yet i stilll can't install it. why? [15:28] try; sudo apt-get -f install [15:29] OK, I've filed fdo bug 31078 regarding the problem I was talking about earlier. [15:29] so anyone else experience lock ups after installing nvidia-current drivers on their netbook? [15:29] my google-chrome gives no notification sound when google chat receives an incoming message [15:29] meatbun did you check your software center to see what you have so far ? [15:29] ikonia: but I want to use it as my /home partition. I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu ignoring this partition, then edit /etc/crypttab and so on [15:29] revberaldo: create another partition for home, and another partition for root... keep them separate from whatever you use for Arch... your Ubuntu doesnt need to even know the others exist... [15:29] Anyone has the same issue with notification? [15:29] Kai696, no. where is software center? [15:29] ElNota: No, yor make mistake, because it's Ubuntu is derivative of Debian but not vice versa. Also, apps in Debian are not old, but very stable. [15:29] revberaldo: mount it after the install [15:30] DD_rescue gives me an error : chad@chad-Aspire-X1700:~$ sudo dd_rescue /dev/sdd /dev/sda3/backup.img [15:30] dd_rescue: (fatal): open "/dev/sda3/backup.img" failed: Not a directory but im not sure why ? Im trying to make an image of sdd and post it to sda3 [15:30] Kai696 maybe it doesnt need 'backup.img' try leaving it out [15:30] I remember with Pidgin there was an script called IRC-more which could add more functions to Pidgin, but there isn't on plugins-pack of 10.10, anyone knows from where can I download it? [15:30] sooo, anyone? [15:30] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31078 [15:30] Kai696: you can't do that [15:30] ikonia, ka1ser: thank you for the answers, I see what I can do. [15:30] Kai696, the GUI software center is not as detail as cli [15:30] Kai696: /dev/sda3 is a device not a file system [15:31] Kai696: you can't write to a device like that, you need to mount the device and write to the file system [15:31] ikonia, sorry for being a noob :P how do I do that ? [15:31] Kai696: explain what you are trying to do [15:31] utilitytrack: it's not that the apps are old, but they are just different, not the popular ones which everyone uses these days [15:31] so its safe to assume theres no optimus support on any version of linux as of yet? [15:31] copy and entire disk drive and put it on a partition that I have set up @ Ikonia [15:32] (as an image file) [15:32] utilitytrack: like there is no firefox [15:32] Kai696: is the partition bigger than the whole disk you want to backup [15:32] no, 500GB for disk and 600 GB for partition [15:32] Kai696: so yes, the partition IS bigger than the entire disk [15:32] rigved, it's just rebranded as 'iceweasel'... [15:32] rigved: Right, it's icecat, isn't it? [15:33] Debian has renamed Firefox to Iceweasel due to licencing issues [15:33] I just installed 10.10 and I'm setting up empathy with my chat accounts and I cannot get yahoo to work. I'm getting an authentication failed error. Using the same sign-in information I can sign in using Meebo. Is there a particular setting I'm over looking? [15:33] ikonia, yes, so there shouldn't be a problem. I'm going disk to partition, not partition to disk [15:33] scotty^_: no it's not [15:33] scotty^_: iceweale is slightly different [15:33] oh, ok [15:33] sdd (disk) to /sda3 <- [15:33] setting up ubuntu for my radeon x1650, ive run into a vague step in the wiki. is it "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= radeon.modeset=1" or should i put the modset on a new line? [15:33] oh yes, iceweasel, not icecat [15:33] Kai696: ok so sudo dd if=/dev/sdd of=/dev/sda3 bs=512k [15:33] Kai696: then wait [15:33] Crewsr3: is your system updated¿ also pidgin never fails to mee [15:33] rigved: in the install there is an option for manuel pack install, should i mark it? [15:34] hi, is there any good program for flowcharts except DIA? [15:34] How do I access USB Devices in VirtualBox? [15:34] Cars10: not unless you want to hand-pick packages [15:34] Ikonia sorry, just so I can understand, what is the 512 for ? [15:34] Kai696: block size [15:34] elgh, you have to be running the non-free edition of VB. the ones in the repo are completely free, OSS and they do not have usb or rdp support. [15:34] ikonia - Thanks. I didn't know that. How is it different? (Or where can I read about the differences?) [15:34] I figured it out xangua I was adding the "username@yahoo.com" and you don't need the "@yahoo.com" portion thanks ! [15:34] scotty^_: web search iceweasle [15:34] Cars10: you can install the default packages for each server automatically [15:35] ok so im not needing does for the gui [15:35] okay, it's waiting right now, will it give me updates of it's status ? and what should be the outcome? [15:35] cars10: like tick LAMP server to install php, mysql etc [15:35] Kai696: it won't update you, just wait for it to finish, it will take a while [15:35] ok i dont need those [15:35] ikonia: can he come back next week :) [15:36] Hello ýall [15:36] sobczyk - I think koffice has flowcharting program [15:36] hmm I think it is less risker to send it to a file than directly to the partition [15:36] she_dyed: 500GB - maybe [15:36] ka1ser: I don't disagree [15:36] ka1ser: but I also see neither as a risk, just one slightly tidier [15:36] ikonia, what should the output file be like ? an image? just a hard transfer or ? and how do I reset the backed up drive? (restore it back to normal once the disk is restored) [15:36] Upgrading to 10.10 solved the problem of using USB Devices in VirtualBox. ^ [15:36] lol @ she_dyed [15:36] ka1ser: not an image, it's a direct block by block copy on the partiion /dev/sda3 [15:36] ka1ser: sorry - not you [15:37] I am no expert, but I think this has something to do with me having a DUMMY OUTPUT : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dX145TKH [15:37] Kai696: not an image, it's a direct block by block copy on the partiion /dev/sda3 [15:37] does anyone know whether VirtualBox under 10.10 supports x64 architechture? [15:37] so to restore to a workable drive how do i do that ? [15:37] I mean, "usb-audio"? [15:37] Kai696: reverse it [15:37] When using terminal to download a page (for example: GET http://www.google.com), I download just the google webpage. When using 'GET http://www.google.com HTTP/2.0' I download an extra page which is titled 'HTTP Information and Resources'. Any ideas on why this is happening? [15:37] rigved i think it does [15:37] i have 10.04 and the virtualbox only supports x86 arch [15:37] rigved, your host os has to be 64-bit unless your chip supports hw virtualzation. [15:37] Can some one tell me What to do? [15:37] Kai696: sudo dd if=/dev/sda3 of=/dev/where_you_want_it bs=512k [15:37] so if I made /sda3 bootable it should load ? [15:37] Kai696: no [15:38] Cars10: ok [15:38] rigved, you can run x64 on 10.04... you just need what i said. [15:38] sdd is a seperate drive from a laptop and is a bootable disk drive (with win7 installed) [15:38] Kai696: so ? [15:38] so why wouldn't it be bootable ? [15:38] Does anyone know how to make an application to ask the pass everytime you run it? [15:38] hey guys need alil help with video [15:38] ikonia ^^ [15:38] arrrghhh: i am sorry, could you repeat that again [15:38] I want thunderbird to ask my pass everytime i run it [15:38] rigved, your host os has to be 64-bit unless your chip supports hw virtualzation. [15:38] i have a raedon 7000 old school video cpu im trying to set up for my kids [15:39] arrrghhh: what do i need [15:39] Kai696: because it's a block by block copy which references it identically as if it was /dev/sdd - and it is not /dev/sdd, its a different disk, with different sizing, different naming [15:39] Kai696: it's also a partition, not a disk, you boot the mbr on a disk, not a partition [15:39] when i go to enable desktop effects i get an error [15:39] arrrghhh: i have an x64 OS [15:39] rigved, i forget the terms. amd is like hyper-V and intel is something else... is your host OS not 64-bit? then you should be fine... [15:39] oh, >< hahah sorry your right IKonia :) Thanks a lot.. [15:39] Yankefish - I doubt that a card that old supports compiz [15:39] Yankefish: no 3d? [15:40] Yankefish hardware drives installed ? [15:40] arrrghhh: i have intel dual core, Ubuntu 10.04 x64 and no H/W VT support [15:40] VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [1002:5159] [15:40] rigved, well if your host is x64, your guests should be able to run x64 as well... [15:40] thats output from terminal [15:41] arrrghhh: that's weird, because there is no option to set the arch to x64 in my virtualbox [15:41] yeah, it probably doesn't support a high enough OpenGL version to be able to run compix [15:41] compiz [15:41] hehe [15:41] i read this faq ( couldnt get it to work)https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [15:42] i removed my network manager from the panel [15:42] how to get it back [15:42] there [15:42] ? [15:42] rammyIRC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:42] Yankefish: at boot prompt did you try entering vga=something [15:42] rammyIRC: alt+f2> nm-applet > enter [15:43] how do i do that ?? [15:43] oh [15:44] I cant get back my email configuration in thunderbird [15:44] I've got profile folder.. [15:44] strange, because i've done it before... [15:44] rigved, i'm assuming the OS you're installing is 64-bit...? [15:44] How do I access a folder in Ubuntu from my VirtualBox OS Win XP? [15:44] arrrghhh: yes, it's ubunut-server 10.04 x64 [15:45] elgh: I guess setting up a LAN [15:45] elgh, use the 'shared folders' feature is probably the easiest, although there's many ways. [15:45] Hey. I'm programming Java, and I'd like to switch from OpenJDK to SunJDK, however, even after I've installed Sun 6 JDK, I cannot choose it in Eclipse as a compiler? I tried restarting, and nothing. [15:45] how do i get Postal 2 to work on ubuntu? I installed it with wine but i cant turn properly and there is no sound [15:45] elg add a shared folder in the VB [15:45] arrrghhh: i have it currently installed in qemu [15:45] rigved, are you running virtualbox from the repo's or from the DEB on the web page? [15:45] arrrghhh, I created a folder in my home folder, and added that in settings for VirtualBox... Then what? ^ [15:46] Yankefish - with a recent version of Ubuntu you shouldn't have to worry about anything on that page - the free ati driver should be installed and configured by default. But I think you can't run compiz (desktop effects) on a card that old. [15:46] elgh, some googling will ensue, i've never done it. just know that's what you need to do, short of setting up samba :P [15:46] I remember I did it once, and it was really simple. I just wish I remember how to. ^ [15:46] rigved: ok back in the command line after install [15:47] arrrghhh: both i have tried...ose from repo and non-free from website [15:47] Sean93 - what versions of Ubuntu and wine? [15:47] rigved, yea i didn't think there would be a difference with this feature between ose & non-free... [15:47] Cars10: sudo apt-get update [15:47] anyone has a Z serie vaio with hybrid nvidia/intel? any hint I can make the nvidia GPU to work? I'm stuck with nomodeset to get a display [15:47] :D love sudo apt-get update xd [15:48] 10.10 ubuntu, how do i see wines verion? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:48] i cant enable any effects at all, says im in low res mode?? [15:48] everything I saw on the web about swappiness says lower value means minimal swapping. So I changed my swappiness from 60 to 10. And now I can see on the graphs that a huge swap_cache and way more swap file is in use. I was trying to turn off swapping because whenever linux starts doing random unimportant stuff with the swap file, it messes up my IO throughput. Helpful suggestions appreciated! [15:48] Sean93 - open Synaptic package manager and search for wine [15:48] rigved: all read no confirm [15:48] elgh: rigved : In Guest choose the VM-menu 'devices'>'Shared Folders' and choose then map you made in ubuntu [15:48] Hey. I'm programming Java, and I'd like to switch from OpenJDK to SunJDK, however, even after I've installed Sun 6 JDK, I cannot choose it in Eclipse as a compiler? I tried restarting, and nothing. [15:49] and then? [15:49] Cars10: sudo apt-upgrade [15:49] rigved, apparently i was incorrect. virtualbox only supported x64 guests if your chip supports hw virtualization... that's a shame. [15:49] *srry [15:49] scotty^_: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 [15:49] Cars10: sudo apt-get upgrade [15:49] Yankefish - what resolution does System->Preferences->Monitors show? [15:50] CyberGabber, I did that. But I guess I have to make something in VirtualBox to open that filder. [15:50] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dX145TKH [15:50] 1280x1024 [15:50] rigved: its downloading now [15:51] Yankefish: does it have enough ram 1G or so [15:51] hmm, that's not exactly low res [15:51] Cars10: let it finish [15:51] cpu has 1 gig, video card is a 64mb card [15:51] Sean93, if you need to know what version you have *installed* just open Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine -> About tab [15:52] its version 1.2.1 [15:52] Hi, I have an asus ul30A notebook, when I upgrade to 10.10 (clean install) the touchpad sometimes doesn't work well, it get a little bit laggy. Some ideas. Thanks. [15:52] Hey guys, this stupid software center was too long to install a deb file, so I cancelled the installation and now it is stuck on cancelling since last half hour. apt-get and dpkg is not working. I know restarting would work but I am not in a position to restart this system. How do I free the locked files so that dpkg and apt-get work again. [15:52] elgh: rigved Now in guest(XP), open 'networkneighbourghhood', that's : My Networklocations> FullNetwork> VirtualboxShardFolders, than open the \\ map you made in ubuntu [15:52] Yankefish, i wouldn't run desktop effects on that PC. they'll just drag everything down.. [15:52] Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't show the current keyboard layout anymore! How to show these 2-char code again ?! [15:53] Yankefish: me either, too low memory [15:53] Yankefish: did you try old method or new method from that webpage [15:53] Sean93 - you could try Crossover Games - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODcwMA [15:53] hey, quick question. been installing new themes and stuff. just wondered how you installed the login screen themes from art.gnome.org? [15:54] new but my xorg is empty [15:54] The KDE Desktop Sharing window keeps presenting itself on reboot, everytime, how can I make it stop doing that? [15:54] Yankefish: tried the video= at boot? [15:55] docsy depends,, only way I know of changing out the login theme on vista/7 is using a program like stardocks utilities [15:55] rigved: ok its done [15:55] how do i do that she dyed?? [15:55] CyberGabber, Doesn't help I'm sorry. ^ [15:55] Yankefish: grub lets you type e to edit [15:55] dudes, hello [15:55] docsy: you don't, gdm was rewritten [15:55] so press e when my cpu boots? [15:56] is anybody using a radeon 5670 card with ubuntu 10.10? does the open driver work? [15:56] why does it give you a list of login screens to download then ? [15:56] Yankefish: when you see the grub screen, sometimes tab shows you more options [15:56] k 1 sec what do i need to enable [15:56] hello [15:56] elgh: Did you install the 'VirtualBox Guest Additions' in your guest? (See the VM-menu of your guest-machine) [15:56] is the output from init.d daemons sent to syslog by default? [15:57] Yes, I did. [15:57] Cars10: sudo apt-get install xorg gdm gnome [15:57] elgh: Your 'host' is ubuntu ? [15:57] Cars10: fingres crossed... [15:57] rigved: what about the guests adds? [15:57] Yankefish: i'm on this page http://is.gd/gfYC2 [15:57] ^^ [15:57] I use Ubuntu. And Windows XP in VB. [15:57] nvoo - According to Phoronix the open driver works with the Radeon HD5xxx series but there is no 3D support yet [15:57] Cars10: you can do it anytime [15:57] ok [15:58] elgh: OK, Step1, make a map in e.g. your homedir, called 'virtmap'. [15:58] (well there is partial 3D support in git master) [15:58] Did that. [15:58] rigved: do i only need core if i only where to install virtualbox on it? [15:59] brb going to try [15:59] elgh: In XP-guest, choose the VM-menu 'devices' > 'shared folders' === sergey is now known as kiborg88 [15:59] gl Yankefish [15:59] Isn't just moving the profile folder of Thunderbird supposed to work? [15:59] thx [15:59] Done. [15:59] can you say chinese [15:59] Cars10: i am not sure abt that, but you can install only core if you want, it will not install other supporting software like openoffice etc [15:59] I also added the folder I would like to share in Ubuntu there. [15:59] kl0x: or using profile manager [15:59] anyone know how to arrange desktop icons from the command line??? [16:00] Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't show the current keyboard layout anymore! How to show these 2-char code again ?! [16:00] Cars10: go ahead with only core [16:00] vinux, lol not off the top of my head... why would that be useful? [16:00] she_dyed: that's what I just done but it doesn't seem to work, all my emails and local folders, email settings don't appear [16:00] ok becuase i dont need them [16:00] Cars10: sudo apt-get install xorg gdm gnome-core [16:00] because I am writing a script for partially sighted people [16:00] elgh: Can you 'ping' you host from within guest-XP ? I think it's an network-setting in Vbox [16:01] kl0x: don't they have like the new 'migrate' feature somewhere [16:01] I can resize the text automatically but not force the icons to rearrange [16:01] Nope, can't. ^ [16:01] vinux, oic... sorry, i'm aware of any method to do that. [16:01] Hi, I have an asus ul30A notebook, when I upgrade to 10.10 (clean install) the touchpad sometimes doesn't work well, it get a little bit laggy. Some ideas. Thanks. [16:01] Suddenly, the automount for my digital cameras and usb sticks stopped working, I have Ubuntu 10.04, anyone wants to help mounting a canon camera?

[16:03] Cars10: :) [16:03] vinux: is it similar to Orca [16:04] CyberGabber, works to ping now.. [16:04] Vinux uses Orca - it is a remaster of Ubuntu for the blind [16:04] she_dyed: I've tried moving my LocalFolder to the new one and doesn't work either [16:04] I have added scripts to change the colours and font sizes on the fly, but can't rearrange desktop icons [16:05] vinux: checked out wmctrl? [16:05] no is it in the ubuntu repository [16:05] Sean93 - also Wine 1.3.5 has improved Shader Model 4 support - see http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.3.5 [16:06] i get mine from debian vinux but it is 50-50 with some wm [16:06] Hey guys I'm trying to set up my Intuos 3 on Lucid Lynx, The stylus pad is working, but the function keys, touch strip, and eraser are not.

[16:32] arrrghhh no not out of space but being installing and trying alot of different apps and such then deleting, alot of updates etc i'm used to running a defrag every other week on widows but since i switched to lucid dont know how [16:32] llutz, ok appreceite your help.. thank you [16:32] Chaos2358, i thought this at first as well. ext file systems (others as well) don't fragment like Windows file systems do. [16:32] pilates: 1st time it was at least recognized as disk "[ 946.026002] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk", 2nd time it was ignored. so my _guess_ is, its somehow broken [16:33] Whats up people. [16:33] I'm trying to install Skype, and this page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype) says I can do it with a simple apt-get install. However, I get an error saying "Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.", does this mean that I need to download and install it from Skypes website instead? Or is there a repository that I can add? [16:33] chaos linux dont need defrag [16:33] Whats a good IDENT server to install? Do they have a good safety track record? [16:33] arrrghhh: ya but never used to this much heat [16:33] Chaos2358, so they don't need to be defragmented - they clean up after themselves on the fly. [16:33] arrrghhh, ok well ok then even better. than k you [16:33] I dont know if im in the right channel, is this the help channel? or is there a dedicated one? [16:33] llutz, thats what i thought was strange.. its recognized but not able to se content... so i also thought broken but maybe with some terminal cd command and then ls to see content but no :) [16:33] arrrghhh: wow. a large number of people seem to be having heating problems with toshiba m505. google says so [16:34] SingAlong, does google have any solutions? :P perhaps there is a bug in a particular kernel. [16:34] sorry for bad typing. have tree brok efingers [16:34] pilates: "to cd to the stick" you need it to be recognized as a drive and to mount it. both failed in your case [16:34] llutz, thank you very much for your help [16:35] ill come back if i meet other problems [16:36] c3: this is the ubuntu support channel, welcome [16:36] the first google hit I get on the m505 heat issue is a link to the Ubuntu forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282161 [16:36] arrrghhh: no idea. just reading the threads. seems like this model has the overheating problem [16:36] I want to share my music on the web, create usernames and passwords for certain users to connect to it. is there a simple webserver for ubuntu that does the job [16:36] guntbert thank you. [16:37] SingAlong, c'est la vie. [16:37] c3: usually people use apache [16:37] c3, you can setup apache but that's going to take a lot of configuration... ftp may be easier with multiple users/passwords. [16:37] arrrghhh: its a kernel bug as to one of the threads [16:37] SingAlong, sounds about right. are you on 10.10? [16:38] hi, i'm not sure what support channel is most appropriate for this, but i keep having problems authenticating to my school's IIS webserver. It appears to not be a problem with ubuntu specifically, because it happens (i log in, but it redirects me to login again) on windows as well as other browsers. i've rebooted my router etc, but that hasnt helped. [16:38] c3: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [16:38] guntbert, I know apache is an option. but as you said, its really complicated. is there some sort of software that archives the music and puts them on the web,, [16:38] rigel: nothing to do with here then, talk to your school [16:39] c3: I really don't know, never tried it - please put your question to the channel again [16:39] ikonia: they didnt sound like they were getting a lot of help requests, so i'm assuming the problem is on my segment of the network [16:39] rigel: give them a nudge then [16:39] c3, subsonic, jinzora... ampache [16:39] rigel, maybe it's not your problem, something maybe wrong with your school's IIS [16:40] I have a printer question, if someone could assist. I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and I think i'm ready to make it my primary home machine. My one hang up is my printer. It's a Samsung CLP-300 color laser. I get some strange things when I print from Ubuntu. VERY dark graphics, and random characters on PDF's. [16:40] c3 if you use opera you could use unite, kind of make the browser like a little server [16:40] to get postal 2 o work in wine i was told to add "MouseWarpOverride->force" to the regestry, how do i do this? === am2 is now known as rubiks [16:40] to wokr** [16:40] of course only works while opera is open [16:40] work* [16:40] how can i resize my ubuntu partition so I can pop in a new distro? thank you guys. [16:40] I've tried some troubleshooting, with no luck. I'm wondering, does Linux in general work better with HP printers? There seems to be more support for them. [16:41] HP seems to be big on Linux support. [16:41] josemota, you can, but it's best to backup & do a clean install. [16:41] Cajun_Lan_Man: hello [16:41] Cajun_Lan_Man, i love HP on linux. all their printers/scanners have worked for me. [16:41] rubiks, Hey there. [16:41] Sean93: please ask in #winehq [16:41] well, all the ones i've tested :P [16:42] arrrghhh, I also noticed there is some kind of HP toolkit available in he software center. [16:42] Cajun_Lan_Man: kthxbai [16:42] josemota: i've used gparted but not wth ubuntu [16:42] arrrghhh, these are all streamers, do you know of one that allows actual downloads? [16:42] Cajun_Lan_Man, can't comment on that. all i know is my hp all-in-one lives on linux just fine. other printers do as well, but i definitely recommend hp. [16:43] c3, i think they all allow downloads as well as streaming... [16:43] she_dyed: i'll give it a try [16:43] arrrghhh: there are paperweight HP-printers too, no fun with them [16:43] is this a streaming program? [16:43] she_dyed arrrghhh: thank you so much. [16:43] arrrghhh, Did you install any software to use with the HPs, or did you just let Linux do its thing automagically? [16:43] c3, you'll have to look at each package tho, i'm not positive. i use subsonic, love that app. [16:43] josemota: you're welcome; good luck [16:44] arrrghhh there is nothing in Subsonics website that says anything about download, only stream, lemme check jinzora [16:44] Cajun_Lan_Man, linux just did its thing. it did install some software as i recall... [16:44] Hi i would like to know how can i find the /dev/** of my mobilephone bluetoth conection? [16:45] arrrghhh, Got it. I likely won't be getting a multifunction. I like color lasers because I've got 3 kids in school who like to print......a lot. Too much $$$ for inkjet, but the color laser multi's are expensive. [16:45] crunch2: usually its a /dev/rfcomm* [16:45] Cajun_Lan_Man, color laser anything's expensive ;) [16:45] arrrghhh, HP has a little low end color laser for $200. Might just get that. [16:45] crunch2, maybe you can grep output of dmesg [16:46] llutz: hum, im looking for it in a terminal bu it's not there [16:46] Cajun_Lan_Man, dang. we get enterprise network printers for work, they're so expensive. haven't looked at consumer laser printers in years tho... [16:46] arrrghhh, but when it comes to cost per page, the color lasers are much cheaper than the inkjets. My kids LOVE to do projects that require printing out color stuff from the web. [16:47] arrrghhh, the consumer stuff is much cheaper. It just falls apart when you throw enterprise workloads at them. [16:47] llutz: i have connected it with the bluetooth aplication [16:47] !ot | Cajun_Lan_Man [16:47] Cajun_Lan_Man: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:47] Cajun_Lan_Man, indeed. well good luck. [16:47] arrrghhh, thanks for the input. [16:47] np [16:47] Any way to install 32bit printer drivers in 64bit？ [16:48] AndChat|: doubt it, you MAY be able to if you install ia32-libs [16:48] AndChat|: this sort of thing is why 32bit is recommended [16:49] Yeah, i am wondering why i bothered with 64bit [16:49] llutz: when i open a file inside the mobilephone it says something like obex.. [16:50] AndChat|: if you do a lot of audio or video encoding it helps [16:50] crunch2: ah so you don't want to use it as modem? sry i misread you [16:50] AndChat|: it also helps with accessing large ram amounts, but PAE allows 32bit to access 12Gb RAM [16:51] arrrghhh: if you are interested in a solution... http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8124254&postcount=46 [16:51] Yeah i do a lot of audio [16:51] arrrghhh: thats for grub2. so check your grub version too :) [16:51] ActionParsnip, i think it's all the way up to 64gb believe it or not. [16:51] SingAlong, i have an alienware that is from 2004... nothing's going to solve my heat problems :P [16:51] anyway I just tried that method. have to restart mylaptop to figure out. i'll be back and report. [16:51] arrrghhh: really, nice [16:51] http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2010/Oct/1024613.html [16:51] omfg [16:52] no|NeTskY: control your language [16:52] arrrghhh: yeah it is 64gb, thats pretty gnarly [16:52] ActionParsnip, i know it. found that out myself the other day ;) [16:53] Hi all. [16:53] hi Condorito [16:53] Jeez. Can recent mobos even take 64gb？ [16:53] no1peanut: grep CONFIG_RDS /boot/config-$(uname -r) [16:53] llutz: let me explain my idea it may help :) i have a nokia phone and the nokia software through wine, but i cant connect my phone. from what i have searched if i create a symbolic link to dosdevices in wine it may happen that i can acess the phone through the nokia software. Going back to my question i wanted to know how can i find the location of my bluetoth connection :) thanks in advance [16:53] AndChat|, lol with enough $$$ yes. [16:54] AndChat|: Tyan Motherboard 5400 [16:55] Some guidance again, please. Still with the HP-Mini-110 wireless problem on ubuntu 10.10. Won't work. Should I try the proprietary driver, and if so, which is it? [16:55] crunch2: no idea sorry, maybe this can help you http://series60-remote.sourceforge.net/ [16:55] So your average mobo aint going to be able to handle 64 [16:55] Condorito: use a wired connection and get full updates, then use the hardware driver app in the system menu [16:55] Is really working? [16:55] nice [16:55] how do i download and install firefox on my gnome-core ? [16:56] AndChat|: not yet anyway [16:56] AndChat|, oh no. some data center servers can have up to 1tb per blade in RAM... but this is OT. [16:56] llutz: yes that helps :) i have already installed it but it doesn't allow to backup contacts [16:56] Sorry to all. it's my 1st time on this chat [16:56] Cars10: sudo apt-get install firefox [16:56] Plug it in? Okay, I'll do that. Thanks. [16:57] llutz: but the thing is i have the phone connected through bluetooth how can i find under /dev where it is? [16:57] Cars10, sudo apt-get install firefox [16:57] Oops [16:57] arrrghhh do u know whether subsonic requires apache and SQL? [16:57] thx [16:57] crunch2: i don't think that link will create an /dev device. [16:57] c3, not sure. it'd be mysql if anything, and i know it depends on java. apache is definitely required. [16:58] how do it know where to get firefox? [16:58] c3, it may use sqlite tho, not sure. [16:58] Cars10, the repo's. /etc/apt/sources.list [16:58] ok ty [16:58] arrrghh ooh i c,, ill download it and see, [16:58] Because firefox is in the repository [16:58] llutz: he opens as pen drive but i cant find where it is [16:59] ciao [16:59] !list [16:59] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:59] llutz: found it: ~/.gvfs/NOKIA N82$, thanks anyway :) [16:59] crunch2: gnome-thingy...

[17:07] arg [17:08] hi, using ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and when i lauch firefox, in addition to the usual 'firefox-bin' process there's another (new?)

I need a linux's tool to do this :) [17:09] ActionParsnip, i was working as root doing other stuff when i made it [17:09] under: there is no such tool [17:09] slashfoo: could use wicd instead [17:09] id10t: ok thats fine [17:09] is there a nice frontend/GUI for dd? [17:09] Can someone help me with xorg ? I've a splitted screen with strange character. It's impossible te get back the graphical interface [17:09] under, you can't boot winxp from a usb key (to my knowledge) - perhaps with winpe or bartpe... but that's not something for this channel, sorry. [17:09] not for me, but somebody who hardly knows anything about linux [17:09] ActionParsnip, i am not a linux newbie... just this issue of cores is causing hair loss...

[17:10] ChogyDan: Yeah [17:10] id10t: i suggest you set the bios to failsafe [17:11] is it normal to have 2 firefox processes running, i.e., 'firefox-bin' and 'firefox' [17:11] then step back [17:11] id10t, so htop only showed one core...?

[17:14] Hello all. Just got Konverastion working [17:14] Is there a way to sync message filters and even configuration properties of your thunderbird?

[17:15] hi! is there a nice frontend/GUI for dd? (not for me, but somebody who hardly knows anything about linux and wants to make a disk image of his disk) [17:15] ActionParsnip: Umm. I had installed the "2009_1204_RT3070_Linux_STA_v2.1.2.0" to get a DWA125 wireless usb working, but it is no longer needed. How do I get rid of it now, please? [17:15] i need to fixx it in phpsysinfo [17:15] she_dyed: i have 1 tab right now but 2 firefox processes with diff names [17:15] slashfoo, not sure how uninstalling nm-applet will work... may be easier to just disable it from running @ startupt. [17:15] she_dyed: firefox-bin, firefox [17:15] brubelsabs: just copy your hunderbird configuration file [17:15] arrrghhh: ok, will try that [17:15] i use phpsysinfo but when i go to check Distro name says Unknown how to fix that? [17:15] i need to fixx it in phpsysinfo [17:15] Hey can someone lend a hand to try to get Nlite working in WINE via Ubuntu ? [17:15] gaberlunzie: no, open tabs? [17:16] gaberlunzie: One looks like a launcher shell script, the Firefox process, and two more processes spawned by the firefox process. [17:16] because it says distro name Unknown [17:16] how do i open a *.deb file? [17:16] xangua: yes putting it under ubuntu one or something similar seems to be the only solution [17:16] Is this a help area? I am still looking for the topic..

[17:17] Condorito: ok then read the readme in the folder and it will tell you how to install. I suggest in future if you compile that you use checkinstall and make a deb [17:18] donvitoo: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a [17:18] Fredrick: yesm you will have to restore it, the next time you do dualboot install windows first and then any other OS [17:18] hi im trying to reinstall vista first so i can put ubuntu second but after i install vista and it reboots i get a grub repair prompt [17:18] Here is my problem: When I put my laptop to sleep, my OSS sound system wont play sound at all.

[17:26] hoare: remove it and add the gnome main menu applet [17:26] arrrghhh: I HATE to have to click "enable wireless" every single time [17:27] hoare: or you could just completly remove it and launch the menu with Alt+F1 [17:27] slashfoo: You don't, there is an option to connect automatically [17:27] slashfoo: i'd try wicd [17:27] soreau: click on the tool icon on the right side for the menu [17:27] Umm, I do not know.

[17:29] (#G810E610M1) buhbye [17:29] metap0d: because I see how I can connect automatically to a network, BUT the thing is that wireless is disabled by default so... [17:29] Oh. Okay. "make uninstall" from the directory I installed it from. This will remove the driver, correct? [17:29] Hello Yo! Somebody with a running strongswan server configured for roadwarriors? Like Hamachi? [17:29] slashfoo: Well then ... I do not know lol :) [17:30] slashfoo: maybe it selects eth0 first even if nothing is connected (simply because it was detected)? [17:31] slashfoo: something like a checkbox saying, Always use this one first [17:31] she_dyed: let me check [17:31] mec [17:32] on the eth0 I have connect to this network automatically thinguie, but I have the same thing on my SSID [17:32] xangua: ty [17:32] k5673: how is that an ubuntu support question? [17:32] do you need it to connect, slashfoo ? [17:32] So, which one is the driver of the output of the command sudo lshw -C sound [17:33] For those of you with intergrated Intel graphics cards on your desktops/laptops ... how is the support in Linux/Ubuntu? [17:33] While trying to get X w/ nvidia drivers to work on boot (Maverick), I can "modprobe nvidia-current" manually and X starts fine, but everything seems to be trying to load "nvidia.ko" during the boot process. Anyone have thoughts on this? [17:33] she_dyed: nope [17:33] Hi! I'm argentina and write a little english. You could tell like I can see changes in file that I'm seeing, this in terminal. [17:33] she_dyed: so that's what's breaking my wireless? [17:33] metap0d: It works well. Just as well as in windows. [17:33] slashfoo: maybe it's taking priority somehow and your wifi can't 'cut in' [17:33] I just to 10.10 ver. and notise that I dont have internet can anyone tell me how to make my MAC address permanent again. I try modifing /etc/network/interfaces but still no Internet after rebooting.

[17:35] Kai696: I use wine, but know very little does it count? =P [17:35] but is 2 file different, I can with a some file. [17:35] corrytonapple: I just sold my laptop last night but I'm actually buying one in a few days and it looks like (realistically) in my price range they will all come with the Intel HD intergrated graphics regardless of brand [17:35] Hey all! How can I set my computer to resume from suspend with a keypress on my wired keyboard? Thanks! [17:36] avo: I thought that behavious is standard. [17:36] DiamondCite, maybe! I'm tryign to get Nlite to work in wine, I have it set as an executable and set it as a enabled app in wine conf but when i click on it, it beachballs and then doesn'topeanything [17:36] avo: Does it not work now? [17:36] corrytonapple: I could get a discrete Nvidia card but that would come with a last gen c2d .... I'd rather take the onboard graphics with an i5 [17:36] metap0d: What one are you looking at/ [17:36] Kai696: Have you checked the app DB listing? and how are you triggering it? [17:36] I agree too === Shaun is now known as ShaunoftheDead [17:37] Kai696: usually wine apps are run something more like "wine nlite.exe" [17:37] Diamoncite : new here ^^ please explain ? (or go PM, since there is a log of in/out activity here ><) [17:37] corrytonapple, Diamondcite, No, it does not work on either my Dell Desktop or my Apple iMac. Both of which function 100% otherwise under ubuntu, and can wake from suspend with keyboards under windows. [17:38] wie geht es euch? [17:38] hello [17:38] Diamondcite, I assumed that functionality was standard, too. [17:38] Are both the keyboards stock and what key are you hitting? [17:38] corrytonapple, avo: Maybe suspend is cutting power to the USB keyboard on suspend, but I'm not sure how to NOT disconnect those on suspend. [17:38] hello everyone [17:38] hi [17:39] My laptop works fine resuiming, but with my USB it does not work even with sleep-n-charge usb ports [17:39] Diamondcite, That's what I would think. But shouldn't that be up to the hardware? And if it is, why should in work in non-Linux OSs? [17:39] Kai696: you can tell your client to ignore/hide the join/part messages [17:39] !de | gervais [17:39] gervais: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [17:40] Since few weeks I hear a strange background rustling like a couple of moses that bite something. Obviously, this happens when I am in the total silence with only my computer on. After few tests I discovered that if I switch-off the sound from the Gnome panel using the command "Mute All", the "mouses bite sound" it disappears. Than, now I know for sure that is a problem of the default Ubuntu sound manager, but I can't [17:40] understand how to fix it. Does someone experienced the same problem? I tried to search over the net, but using keywords like "mouses and bite" you imagine what I get ;) Just for informations, I use Ubuntu 10.04 - 32 bit - English on a desktop PC. Thanks [17:40] guntbert: You would have to look in your clients settings I think [17:40] avo: It should be configureable in the suspend options, but I have not played with that part of the system and I am unable to answer you. [17:40] marsfligth, i noticed that when i had something silly turned up in alsamixer... like the mic or cd input :P [17:40] hi, i need some help on how to make my lan faster for the wrt150n using dd-wrt? [17:40] corrytonapple: obviously :-) (I was giving a hint, not asking a question) [17:41] YG: That is not possible without paying for it. Just my experience. [17:41] ciao [17:41] Diamondcite, I see. Those suspend options don't have a GUI, I assume, right? [17:41] Okay, final question. If I rrmod something, how do I go about restoring it? eg: rmmod rt2870sta, how to undo that action, please? [17:41] how to upgrade wine [17:41] avo: I REALLY can't answer you since I have never played with them. But it's quite likely that it's a config file instead. [17:42] i am not able to download the keys for ppa , and i think the gateway has blocked it .. is there a way around .. tried different servers but doesn't work [17:42] any help? [17:42] Diamondcite, Ah okay. Well thanks for your help anyhow! [17:42] avo: I'll need to look up selective suspending to answer you. [17:42] Does anyone knows how to make the MAC address permanent so I dont have to write "ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:01:02:03:04:05" every time I start the ubuntu???? [17:42] cor pay for what, i do pay comcast? [17:42] But I want my games right now ^_^ [17:42] arrrghhh: Does exist a way to reset to default the Alsa Mixer? [17:42] Pay them more for A higher speed. The more you pay, the more bandwith they give you. [17:42] marsfligth: Pure default? Something go wrong? [17:43] i am not able to download the keys for ppa , and i think the gateway has blocked it .. is there a way around .. tried different servers but doesn't work [17:43] any help? [17:43] marsfligth, uhm... what? just hit alt-f2 and type 'gnome-terminal' - then in the new black window type 'alsamixer' and turn down stuff you don't need. [17:43] oh ok thanks [17:43] Angelov: NICs retain their MAC addresses anyway, you need not set them any time [17:43] YG, are you having WAN or LAN bandwidth issues? [17:44] YG: I think you can call them and tell them what you want. But, I also think it takes some time for them to move the speed up/ [17:44] does somebody use a bluetooth headset with Maverick? [17:44] how do I enable VNC through SSH? [17:44] arrrghhh: I have a look. Thank you for reading this strange help message [17:44] corrytonapple, if your modem can handle it they can upgrade you almost immediately. just a payload that's sent to the modem. [17:45] Angelov: I never "had" to write the MAC address manually [17:45] i am not able to download the keys for ppa , and i think the gateway has blocked it .. is there a way around .. tried different servers but doesn't work [17:45] any help? [17:45] hardfire: Why would your gateway block SOME addresses? [17:45] arrrghhh: Just my experience. I use Comcast, and they lost the connection the first time it upgraded. And the last.... [17:45] Can i use teamviewer between windows xp and Lucid 10.04 [17:46] college sux ! [17:46] guntbert: the problem is when I run ifconfig my MAC address is not the one I have [17:46] some cyberroam shitty going on ! [17:46] corrytonapple, lol. yea they're a big faceless company. [17:46] college != sux [17:46] college > sux ! [17:46] hardfire = sux :) [17:46] <3 lav you [17:46] !ot guys [17:46] Kai696, >> sux ! [17:46] >.> [17:46] oh! hehe [17:46] arrrghhh: There customer support is better that others though. [17:46] Angelov: that makes no sense, why do you care about the MAC address at all?

[17:47] help me first ! [17:47] and me! :) [17:47] tensorpudding: I did that, but I had to use x11vnc instead of the remote desktop preferences in gnome [17:47] hardfire: Where are you trying to download the keys from? [17:47] guntbert:Coz if I dont change it with the one of my Cable modem I cant use internet [17:47] Diamondcite > winHQ (appdb) says it should run fine btw [17:47] happyface: though if you want VNC over SSH, it might be nicer to use NX instead of VNC, since it uses SSH without any other work [17:48] initially i used the add-apt-repository command [17:48] The MAC address I have for the eth0 is not the same with the one of the Cable modem [17:48] Kai696: So put "wine" before the executable and run it? [17:48] then again used apt-key command changing the --keyserver [17:48] tensorpudding: yea I've used NX in the past, but it takes a lot of setup and I need to give support like NOW [17:48] hey all ?

I have to open terminal and execute "compiz --replace&" every time. Better solution, anyone? [17:49] Angelov: ah, now I understand -- right click on the network-applett, select edit connections - choose your wireless connection, click properties (enter your pasword), and there you can enter the MAC address you want [17:49] hardfire: And what does it say? "Connection Timed Out"? [17:49] happyface: if you use the Remote Desktop Preferences to start VNC, can you get a connection locally? [17:49] donvitoo, glad to see you can search before you beg.

I install ubuntu-desktop with the option --no-recommends. Then, I install a program from ubuntu-desktop (say, empathy). This drags in a lot of dependencies. Then I uninstall empathy, and none of the dependencies are uninstalled, since they're recommended by ubuntu-desktop (even if ubuntu-desktop was installed with --no-recommends).

[18:38] arrrghhh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/519340/ [18:38] reinstall the drives after each kernel update? [18:38] :( [18:38] Coolness, nvidias kernel drivers can get knocked out with kernel updates. [18:38] okay [18:39] Coolness, I run nVidia's here and I need to reinstall(build) the drivers everytime theres a kernel update for linux [18:39] So how about i just dont install the kernel updates :D [18:39] ok , can i update my kernel in 10.04 by soft repo ? [18:39] Prabz, says it can't resolve host. can you ping keyserver.ubuntu.com? [18:39] just a wild thought :D [18:39] Coolness, your call. [18:39] yes, I can open it in the browser [18:39] I don't like the direction Ubuntu is taking with it's new 'paid software' in the Software Center. I'm now seeing proprietary software alongside regular search results. Proprietary software should be separate from the regular search listings. Shouldn't there be a way to disable this category? [18:39] arrrghhh, does it have a significant downside? [18:39] arrrghhh: yes, i can open it in the browser [18:39] if you're going to update your kernel, coolness, why not just update your version to 10.10? [18:39] i am looking for something that will show me all my hardware. I need some info about my motherboard and hard drives. [18:40] Prabz, that's not what i asked... [18:40] is there any help for this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/443404 [18:40] I am upgrading my version to 10.10 csmith1994 [18:40] Coolness, well you won't get kernel updates... you knew that i figured tho. [18:40] Coolness, trust me, do any updates that come. [18:40] im having problems installiong the drivers for my intel 82845g graphics card, can someone help please [18:40] <_F-117> oR [18:40] Coolness oh ok [18:40] Tryed ctrl-alt-f1 the result was the screen showing terminal [18:40] arrrghhh: ping isn't working.. however, i can open it from the browser.. strange [18:40] Okay norstrom. I will. [18:40] skrite - Try device manager from the Software Center [18:40] i repeat, intel 82845g graphics has open source drivers [18:41] Prabz, could be cached. sounds like a DNS issue as i previously guessed ;) [18:41] it should install auto [18:41] Thanks for the help all, ill report back if the fps dont change [18:41] mine did [18:41] IDWMaster, thanks [18:41] <_F-117> Six_ lies [18:41] arrrghhh: no, I've never tried opening the site in the browser before [18:42] Prabz, then perhaps apt-key isn't using the proxy server correctly. [18:42] or ping [18:42] Why is Ubuntu Software Center listing proprietary software alongside regular search results? [18:42] Prabz, just cheat. put in the IP for it. [18:42] arrrghhh: how to find ? [18:42] <_F-117> Cntrl + Alt +F1 is a go to home [18:42] Angelov: I see the pic, yes [18:43] Prabz, 91.189.89.49 [18:43] arrrghhh: looks like keyserver.ubuntu.com internal functioning isn't working? [18:43] IDWMaster, you must have the universe or multiverse repo's enabled. [18:43] Prabz, not sure what you mean by that.

[19:15] Are there any tools, browser plugins that help answer questions on Launchpad? [19:15] ron_, you interested in a netbook [19:15] Pastaman: if its your machine, doesn't 'ifconfig' show it? [19:15] yeah but that just lists the interfaces that are Up [19:15] so doesnt come up... [19:16] kpoman, then fight with apt-get cleaning and installing package by package (if you are out of space is the better) [19:16] jsut the onboard eth0 comes up under ifconfig [19:16] nah need a 1gb video [19:16] is there a metapackage that installs the _basic_ things to have a running ubuntu desktop? like ubuntu-desktop, but without the recommends [19:16] or, at least, only with the mandatory recommends [19:16] cousteau: uh... install ubuntu-desktop without the recommends then? [19:16] i need the HWADDR of the NICS [19:16] cousteau: mandatory recommends are called dependencies [19:17] hey, all [19:17] would anyone know why ubuntu immediately reboots my pc whenever i tell it to suspend or hibernate? it's rly instantaneous, as if i pushed the reset button [19:17] methril: see, for instance I think libc6 is kinda broken. how do I reinstall it ? in comand line I mean [19:17] (I meant something like "most important recommends"...) [19:17] i've tried just about every solution related to suspension/hibernation problems, but none rly applies to the exact situation i'm experiencing [19:17] kpoman, if you have the package downloaded [19:17] Pastaman: so this is in a NAS, does it have ssh? [19:17] I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and ubuntu keeps taking space from my data partition to use it instead of use unused space .. partition 1: xp ,,, partition2: Data ... partition3 : unused ... Also the image on dialog (allocated user space ) is cut of so I can't tell how much is allocated to ubuntu .

[19:18] you are not going to be able to do anything [19:18] Pastaman: yet, ifconfig shows only eth0 and lo? [19:18] exactly!!!!

[19:18] LjL: just reported it, btw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/665980 [19:19] cousteau: perhaps try doing it with aptitude then (i think the option is --without-recommends, not sure though) [19:19] Pastaman: ok, then the card maybe sleeping to conserve energy, plug something into the ports and ifconfig, see if the card shows anything then [19:19] but the modprobe.conf lists all teh adapters [19:19] I have... [19:19] all plugged in [19:19] kpoman, if it does not download, you have the network unconfigured or the network-manager packages broken [19:19] download externally [19:19] LjL: well, I tried simulating (-s) that, but aptitude somehow seemed to ignore that [19:20] (in a folder) [19:20] there are no eth1 eth2 eth3 and eth4 script files [19:20] actually, I used -R [19:20] methril: apt-get install some_think works [19:20] so I need to create them manually, but I need the MAC address to put in them..

[20:02] anygivenname, not your system, just the passwords stored under that deposit [20:02] Tre: its command line though [20:02] nobarking, /usr/local/bin would be preferred to just /bin (which you should consider leaving for only "system" binaries) [20:02] sudo apt-get install unrar [20:02] thank you [20:02] they wont be encrypted, but they would still need your login password [20:02] nobarking, sorry - you said ~/bin - my bad [20:03] Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu, coming over from WinXP, what's the best AV program for me to start using? I have asked on #antivirus but it's a bit quiet [20:03] you don t need antivirus [20:03] !virus | Suttrarat [20:03] Suttrarat: 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 [20:03] on ubuntu bro [20:03] Suttrarat, ClamAV, but you don't need AV [20:03] Suttrarat: there is no single best app for anything [20:03] Suttrarat: there is no single best anything ever [20:03] StrangeCharm: you don't neccessarily need a AV but one i nice (maybe clamAV) but a firewall is crucial to security [20:04] Suttrarat: And no defrag things [20:04] !defrag [20:04] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [20:04] LunaVorax: why do you wanna know if anyone uses dwm? [20:04] sebikul: under that deposit...there is vino.local, hotmail, Desktop Couch User Authentication, gmail, Desktop Couch User Authentication, another form of gmail [20:04] aeon-ltd, I wanted to know if it was complex to learn for a noob and how much ram it was sucking [20:04] StrangeCharm: sorry wrong person [20:05] Thanks guys, I will be using WINE a bit so I was thinking AV might be necessary, [20:05] ZykoticK9: what persmissions should i set in /usr/local/bin? [20:05] permissions* [20:05] I'm on a 128ram computer, I need to tweak my ubuntu install correctly [20:05] Jordan_U: I tryed to use the variable without the find as you suggested. Unfortunately it's only give me the name for the bin file not the complete path to the bin file as I have to use. [20:05] LunaVorax: I suggest openbox on 128mb ram [20:05] nobarking, i can't really answer that... depends... [20:05] anygivenname, that are passwords stored by other applications. you should only leave the password blank if you think you are still safe (a desktop pc for example) [20:06] ActionParsnip, the HP printed a testpage perfectly but i still cannot print anything [20:06] LunaVorax: or for supreme lightness (but not pretty at all) flwm [20:06] Axident: Can you pastebin the current script? [20:06] LunaVorax: ok, its not that comlpex to get it running, but maintain it is hard, everytime you want to change something it require recompiling dwm, also i'm using 53mb ram - 2 terminals (urxvt one in irssi and htop) with dwm [20:06] ActionParsnip, I would prefer to use Fluxbox since the menu is automatic while it's not on Openbox [20:06] sebikul: so it does not delete the Ubuntu login password ? [20:06] Ward|: what apps have you tried? [20:06] Jordan_U: [20:06] oR [20:06] Jordan_U: yes [20:06] LunaVorax: another good choice :) [20:06] anygivenname, no, that are 2 different things [20:06] ActionParsnip, gedit and firefox [20:06] sebikul: can I delete the whole deposit ? [20:06] Ok then ActionParsnip :) [20:07] you will still conserve your login password, but you wont be asked to enter it twice [20:07] hey how can wipe my sdd drive through terminal? (format as FAT32) [20:07] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/a2CP3BC3 [20:07] Ward|: tried openoffice? Do you get anyonscreen info? [20:07] anygivenname, you can delete it, but the system will create it again [20:07] Guest55213: look at mk2fs.vfat [20:07] Yeah I know about it aeon-ltd [20:07] ActionParsnip, yeah i get the crapmessages [20:07] Has anyone ever installed ubuntu 10.10 on a external hard drive with a macbook pro 4.1? I have tried so many different things to get this to work and I know am close to believing it isn't possible... [20:08] Kadgar, I've done that once [20:08] sebikul: can I delete the whole deposit ? [20:08] LunaVorax: the ram indications aren't fair though, i'm on arch linux not ubuntu currently [20:08] anygivenname, you can delete it, but the system will create it again [20:08] Kadgar, but I had to boot everytume with the SuperGrubDisk [20:08] wish windowmaker would pick up again [20:08] hmm... [20:08] Ward|: if you look in the queue are the jobs there? [20:08] Axident: That should give you the full path. What makes you think it isn't? [20:08] sebikul: ok now...password is blank...will it remain so after restart Ubuntu ? [20:08] Oh ok aeon-ltd. Funny it is, I've seem a lot of dwm user be actually ArchLinux users [20:09] could you tell me exactly what you did? I really want to get this to work. [20:09] anygivenname, yeah, thats the point of leaving it blank, to not be asked to enter the deposit's password to unlock it and be able to retrive the wifi pass [20:09] after creation of the desktop file the entry only have the bin file name. [20:10] Kadgar, just plug in your external HDD, boot Ubuntu CD, Install Ubuntu on external HDD and then boot the SuperGrubDisk while the HDD is plugged in everytime you turn on your Macbook and want to boot from the hdd [20:10] LunaVorax: heh true, its a bit easier to maintain than in ubuntu, given arch's nature of having to compile almost every unpopular package [20:10] Jordan_U: after creation of the desktop file the entry only have the bin file name. [20:10] sebikul: thanks...will restart to test [20:10] ActionParsnip, yeah, but i will stop wasting time and accept that linux cannot print [20:10] anygivenname, no problem ;) [20:10] ActionParsnip, i'm used to stuff that randomly breaks since i started using linux [20:10] no special settings then except using SuperGrubDisk??? [20:10] I'll give another try to Arch the day I'l be smart and less lazy aeon-ltd ;) [20:10] Ward|: tried a reboot after installing the driver? [20:10] ActionParsnip, thanks for the help anyway [20:10] ActionParsnip, no then i might aswell boot windows and print it there [20:10] Kadgar: What problem are you having / what are you trying to do? [20:11] Is there a way for me to connect my Lucid Lynx PC to a Windows 7 network so I'm visible (whether or not I have file sharing enabled)? [20:11] Ward|: i'd submit a bug too [20:11] since 2006 i had no problems printing [20:11] I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a external hard drive with mac book pro. It seems to install correctly just can't detect the hard drive as bootable or something. [20:11] ActionParsnip, nah i jsut use another printer [20:11] Alanatiir: if you are in the same subnet you will be visible [20:12] No Kadgar, just be sure to check this page for some tweaks AFTER the install if you encounter some problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro4-1/Lucid [20:12] hi [20:12] ActionParsnip: How do I get into the "same subnet"? [20:12] Btw Kadgar, I'm currently on Ubuntu on a MBP 5,3 and the MBP is hotter than under MacOSX, you'll probably encounter that problem too. That's the way it is unfortunately. [20:12] Alanatiir: your network infastructure will use dhcp so it is already happening [20:13] can any one here help me with lirc for microsoft mce remote i cant get it to work [20:13] Alanatiir, on the linux box do ifconfig and check the settigns, on the windows box do ipconfig and check the settings [20:13] ActionParsnip: Well, if it is already happening, then why am I NOT VISIBLE on the network I'm connected to via my wireless card? [20:13] Alanatiir, and beware subnetMASK is not the same as subnet [20:13] Kadgar: Ahh. Intel mac firmware is buggy and doesn't recognise USB disks as bootable when using the BIOS interface. [20:13] tiimo: ask in ##windows. This is ubuntu support only [20:13] Do you use Esc to get to the grub menu to choose a different kernel? [20:14] tiimo: oh wait [20:14] ActionParsnip, its a MS remote, used on linux i think [20:14] lol [20:14] tiimo: is the remote a remote but made by ms? [20:14] cdavis: Hold shift as of Ubuntu 9.10. [20:14] tiimo: my apologies [20:14] lirc = linux, winlirc = windows :) (normally) [20:15] tiimo: if you run in a terminal: xev ,and press the buttons, do they make events? [20:15] Jordan_U: thanks [20:15] hmm, I thinking maybe i should just install ubuntu on my internal using bootcamp, I just don't like everything to install automatically to it [20:15] cdavis: You're welcome. [20:15] I see no mention of 'subnet' in 'ifconfig' [20:15] is there a channel of Slax? [20:15] ahah im using it in ubuntu [20:16] Good evening! I'm using gwget in Ubuntu, but something went wrong with my window manager and I had to restart GDM. Now, wget is still running in the background, downloading my file, but gwget seems to have become disconnected from the process and is unaware of it. How can I bring the wget process to the foreground (even in terminal) so I can see how far it is and whether it is, in fact, making progress? [20:16] Hi. Anyone experienced sound problems (no sound) with Ubuntu latest edition (Maverick Meerkat) in OO.o Impress? Thanks. [20:16] Alanatiir: is the ubuntu system connected to the same router as the windows pcs? [20:16] ActionParsnip: Yes [20:16] Kadgar, good thing also. That's what I'm doing. I recommend you to keep MacOSX anyway since you can have some hardware that doesn't work yet with Ubuntu (ex/ HD webcams and camcorders) [20:16] Draggin: kill the process [20:16] ActionParsnip, That won't help him. . . [20:16] ActionParsnip - wouldn't that corrupt my download? [20:16] Alanatiir: then its fine and the ubuntu box is visible [20:17] ActionParsnip: All are connected (by wired for one pc, wireless to the same access point for the other machines). Mine is not part of the network, but everyone else's is. [20:17] Draggin: possibly but you can restart the download right? [20:17] ActionParsnip: But that's it, right there. I am NOT VISIBLE. :( [20:17] lime: help who, I'm talking to about 4 people here... [20:17] ActionParsnip: And right now two of the people in the household, my GF and her stepfather are pissed with me about it. [20:17] is this bad :I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 [20:17] Kadgar: You can work around the problem by using grub-efi instead of grub-pc, but that presents some additional problems as many linux graphics drivers don't work when booted via EFI. And of course you can use Super GRUB2 Disk to boot from CD as a work around as you already know. [20:17] ActionParsnip - I have limited bandwidth and it's larger than a GB - really don't want to (nor can I afford to) restart it... [20:18] Draggin, You can watch the file output [20:18] Alanatiir: ok then if you un: ifconfig ,you will see your ip. Probably 192.168.0.x [20:18] why with 10.10, when you do.. ~ka it does not auto-complete anymore? [20:18] Draggin, See if it grows [20:18] Draggin, The process will stop by itself when it's finished [20:18] lime - yes, that I've done, which is why I know it's still working. I'd very much like to see how far along it is and what speed it's running at though... [20:18] is it possible to make apt-get to automatically autoremove? [20:18] Draggin: hmm i'd leave it a while and see if the process ends, then md5 test the file to amake sure its not damaged [20:19] cousteau: could make a script ;) [20:19] Draggin, Unfortunately there is no easy way to redirect the output of the process [20:19] gwget probably popen's the process [20:19] Alanatiir: if you can ping the ubuntu server by ip, you are ok [20:19] Karen_m: strange... you're right [20:19] lime - does that imply that there is a way though...? :) [20:20] Karen_m: it does work, anyway [20:20] even though difficult...? [20:20] Draggin, that depends on how gwget spawned the process [20:20] cousteau, you have to type in the full name before it will start working [20:20] Thanks, I just have one more question. If I install ubuntu on my internal is there a way to set the default install drive to my external for all my ubuntu programs. Installing programs seems to always default to the main hard drive and it is annoying finding ways to install them on a different drive. [20:20] lime - sorry, you lost me there... [20:20] Karen_m: no, wait... `cd ~us` doesn't autocomplete to /home/user, but `~us` does autocomplete to ~user [20:21] ...and it worked before, never mind [20:21] is there a channel of Slackware?? [20:21] lime - although - just checked the original filesize and it looks like it's only about 200MB from being done. I think I'll just wait and then run an md5 to see if it worked properly [20:21] my disk identifer is 0x00000000 is that okay? :| [20:21] cousteau, i used to be able to do; cd ~ka/dow and it would fill in the path [20:21] probably #slackware... does your irc client have a channel search? [20:21] nice the network printing is broken too [20:22] * Ward| kicks ubuntu off the system [20:22] thecdggseries: ##slackware [20:22] Hello. [20:22] Karen_m: well, if you are the only user you can still do cd ~/dow [20:22] Jordan_U: I have made this now. http://pastebin.com/L38wQPsd. This work. I found that I have mised a /. and added find to the variable again, then the scribt work. Thank you again. [20:22] i'm not the only user :( [20:23] AndrewMC, thanks [20:23] Draggin, do that... According to source code it uses named pipes [20:23] Can someone help me with Brasero and a DVD+R DL? [20:23] lime, So probably you have a named pipe somehere, you can get output from if you want [20:23] Draggin, So probably you have a named pipe somehere, you can get output from if you want [20:23] lime - gwget uses named pipes? [20:23] I have no idea how that works though... Where can I read up about that? [20:24] cousteau, something did change [20:24] bash autocompletion [20:24] I was burning files to a DVD+R DL with Brasero.. [20:24] Draggin, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe [20:24] maybe you can pick the old bash autocompletion files, which are on /etc/bash_completion.d or something like that [20:25] Kadgar: I assume you also want your user's files to go on the external? [20:25] Jordan_U [20:25] then, right after it started burning, it asked me to eject the disk, because it couldn't eject itself. [20:25] but I can't eject the disk. [20:25] and the brasero process doesn't stop... [20:25] Jordan_U you available for more bug fixing ;-) [20:25] like it's still using the disk. [20:25] but it says it's over and I jyst need to eject manually. [20:25] Basically programs that take up a lot of space. Files that can be easily moved I am not as worried about [20:25] but I can't eject it. [20:25] hello everybody..anyone can give me a hand with this error upgarding lucid >maverick ? http://dpaste.com/263198/ [20:26] can someone help me, please? [20:26] if seems that can't find the new repository [20:26] ubuntu_mad: What is the problem? [20:26] doktoreas, tried aptitude update? [20:27] Jordan_U kernel panic on boot [20:27] hello guys I have a video sharing linux box, I love to know what people are uploading prior converting it. I know there is file and mimetype. I was wondering if you guys know a little accurate way of knowing what kind of file people are uploading [20:27] anyone here willing to help me figure out how to get my wireless card working on my Acer Aspire 5100? [20:27] thank you in Advance [20:28] jpcanaverde have you tried eject via >Place>you disk drive [20:28] I've googled for my laptop wireless help with ubuntu and cannot find any helpful resources [20:28] lime yep [20:28] webBuilder, possibly mediainfo needs only the headers for certain type of files [20:28] ? any one at al i hvae mce reciver and can get irw working but the lirc.config lie is not being used [20:29] does anyone here got a good way to create a graph based on some values? [20:29] Kadgar: If you put the directories needed for programs on the external drive, you'll need the external drive plugged in to be able to boot at all. Given that, it might make sense to just have /boot/ on the internal drive and everything else on the external, or even do a normal install to the external and I can help you make a small partition on your internal that will simply boot the external drive. [20:29] sry miss typing [20:29] brontoeee, I thank you so much [20:29] saved as say some kind of csv file or so [20:29] I'll work on what you have told me [20:29] doktoreas, Have you manually edited your /etc/apt/sources.list? [20:29] webBuilder, and maybe ffmpeg can be abused for that as well [20:30] brontoeee, what do you mean abused ? [20:30] brontoeee, can you expand it little bit [20:30] lime, nope [20:30] doktoreas, Because archive.canonical.com does not have a multiverse repository [20:30] Kadgar: Whatever you do I'd avoid boot camp unless you're actually going to be installing windows. It's not needed for linux, and converts from "pure" GPT to a hybrid mbr, which is kind of ugly. [20:30] brontoeee, I think you meant ffmpeg can tell me what kind of file is it am I correct ? [20:31] webBuilder, you need to know if the file, that is only partialy uploade is video file or not?is that right? or only prior to transcoding? [20:31] *uploaded [20:31] Ok... [20:31] brontoeee, you are quite right [20:31] doktoreas, Do you have any lines in that file referencing archive.canonical.com? [20:31] brontoeee, and I am using actually ffmpeg to convert my files [20:32] brontoeee, so in this case what can I do with ffmpeg to find out what the people are uploading [20:32] lime, oh yeah, the partneter repositor [20:32] deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner multiverse [20:32] deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner [20:32] So, what your saying is that I can make a partition on the internal that contains the /boot and the / be on the external drive and as long as the external drive is plugged in it will boot without need of a cd or anything? [20:32] doktoreas, that line with multiverse is the culprit [20:32] webBuilder, ffmpeg -i somefile should give you some clues [20:32] doktoreas, It will not work [20:32] webBuilder, what info do you need exactly? [20:32] Kadgar: Correct. [20:32] doktoreas, comment it out by prefixing the line with # [20:32] lime, thx! I0l try to comment it [20:33] webBuilder, and why? [20:33] i need help with my wireless card on my acer aspire 5100, linux will not recognize it at all [20:33] brontoeee, when the people start uploading I would love to know what they trying to upload is a video file, if it is video file, then let them upload it then use ffmpeg to convert it to *flv [20:33] Thank you for the information! That is probably my best bet then. [20:33] brontoeee, if not ignore their upload and send them a message [20:34] Kadgar: You're welcome. [20:34] doktoreas, You can see which repos are available by having a peek at http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release [20:34] Hi! Yesterday I was given https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOneAOD250?action=show&redirect=AspireOne/AOD250#Fixing about a problem with microphone and Skype in Ubuntu Netbook edition, but it didn't came up succesful. Any idea? [20:34] doktoreas, Probably you wanted "partner" instead of "multiverse" [20:34] lime, now it's ok..but that repository worked for lucid [20:34] does ubuntu support wireless networking? [20:34] hi, have a problem around make connection to Ad-Hoc network with encription from ubuntu to windows machine. Without encription all working fine, wpasupplicant package installed, other devices like phone connected to windows machine without any problem [20:34] what must I see? [20:34] basix-: Yes. [20:34] or should i just stick with windows if i want my wireless adapter to work? [20:34] doktoreas, the archive.canonical.com repo is for 3rd party binaries like flash etc [20:34] ah ok..thx for your help [20:35] Jordan_U, it wont work on my aspire 5100 [20:35] can anyone help me with dual monitor support? [20:35] webBuilder, right, hold on [20:35] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/RW4G2S9C [20:35] thank you brontoeee I'll be waiting [20:35] i am out of troubleshooting ideas [20:35] doktoreas, If it woked for lucid lynx, they probably changed the layout a bit in maverick [20:35] basix-: Not all wireless cards are supported. === kalle_ is now known as |GaiJin| [20:36] so how do i know which ones are? [20:36] !hardware | basix- [20:36] basix-: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [20:36] Œ === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [20:36] thx [20:36] basix-: You're welcome. [20:37] webBuilder, check http://www.webrelatedstuff.com/blog/video-upload-and-conversion-wi , section uploadVideo.php(cont') [20:37] how can i find out what card i have in the laptop? [20:37] is there a device manager on ubuntu? [20:37] lime, An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: [20:37] E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be [20:37] caused by held packages. === niklaus is now known as B45h_V| [20:37] Does anyone uses Netbook edition? [20:37] brontoeee, will try never used php but I think I should strougle a bit and find out [20:37] thank you brontoeee [20:37] can anyone help me with dual monitor support? [20:37] haha nvm i see it on the website ;) [20:37] <|GaiJin|> after I install the repo nvidia drivers, whenever I shutdown, restart or whatever leaving X the text from the "ubuntu loading screen" (lack of better word) has changed resolution, any tip on how to fix this... [20:38] webBuilder, however, it is possible to fake from the user side a lot of info, so there were HD mp4 files on youtube a long ago [20:38] basix-: The first thing to try is to connect to the internet via ethernet then see if System > Administraton > Hardware Drivers finds any drivers to install for your card. [20:38] any ideas about connection problem to ad-hoc network with encription? [20:38] i believe i tried that, i'm going to run through it again and see what i can do [20:38] hello [20:38] thanks for your help Jordan_U [20:38] so brontoeee what is your suggestion ? [20:39] brontoeee, what approach should I take? madiainfo, file, mimetype, or ffmpeg? [20:39] basix-: You're welcome. [20:39] webBuilder, i think they simply limit the download bandwith per file, or force every file to be transcoded in the 1st place [20:40] hi [20:40] hey people. I got some (basic) knowledge about networking (sub-net-mask calculation and stuff), but I never did anything with 'bridged-connections'. I'm wondering now, how long would it take me to setup a open-vpn-server on Ubuntu server with a good tutorial. hour? day? week? [20:40] brontoeee, Mmm... make sense, do you know which one are the most common? and also once I force the client still I need to know what kind of it is [20:41] im using xfce, anyone know the gnome package that includes system>Hardware/Additional Drivers [20:41] brontoeee, so which one is the best one in your opinion to know still what kind of video it is [20:41] mediainfo [20:41] ? [20:41] ubuntu_mad: Are you seeing this problem after a fresh install? [20:41] I'm experiencing hu.archive.ubuntu.com server down. what should I set instead of it? [20:41] webBuilder, possibly ffmpeg or/and mediainfo in the 1st step for partial files, then ..... i forgot the 2nd part of the sentence :) [20:41] hey, im about to upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.10 using the livecd. just wanted to double check... this isnt going to wipe my files or home dir is it? [20:41] my pulseaudio cuts off my mic sound in skype after approx 4 mins everytime. also pulseaudio gives me an error saying something about pa_something_() overflow and fails, anyone know anything about this? pa_buffer_overrun() [20:42] Hi, I ordered Asus 1015PEM and I'm going to install Xubuntu on it, my friends is convincing me to install 64-bit version, but it's worth to install 64b instead of 32b? [20:42] brontoeee, no worries I'll repeated [20:42] you'll have to upgrade to 10.04 first, but it won't wipe your files [20:42] webBuilder, that depends on how smart is your encoding script, you need to know only if video=true/false for some basic decisions and a lot more if you need to build something serious, like fps, audio type, resolution, interlaced or not, ect [20:42] Jordan_U No,do you remember a few days ago you helped me fix a missing kernel problem,my box was only booting to memtest? [20:42] brontoeee, if I have to force the user to submit certian type of video file which one I should tell them to use, which one is the most popular ? [20:42] Hey guys! [20:42] can anyone help me with dual monitor support? [20:42] smokkin: upgrading using hte live CD? thats new to me - beware ! [20:43] ubuntu_mad: Yes. [20:43] so i should just use the update manager? [20:43] How do I give another account on my system access to a specific file in my home folder? [20:43] I got two screens and they work fine with nvidia drivers [20:44] Jordan_U well its booted 3 times since but today it booted and i got this kernel panic [20:44] webBuilder, thats the bandwidth question, the best thing is to define one or more final formats and promise users that they will not get transcoded if they prepare video like so [20:44] Iḿ running from USB. Can I do anything to speed it up? [20:44] khussein: you change the permissions for this specific file [20:45] webBuilder, if your aim is flash then some sort of AVC / AAC in mp4 and/or older flv packed formats maybe (vp6, sorenson, dunno) [20:45] khussein: look at the chmod command manpage [20:45] hola [20:45] FunkyPaillette: I don't want it to be accessible globally, I just want it to be accessible for one other account. [20:45] hey people. I got some (basic) knowledge about networking (sub-net-mask calculation and stuff), but I never did anything with 'bridged-connections'. I'm wondering now, how long would it take me to setup a open-vpn-server on Ubuntu server with a good tutorial. hour? day? week? [20:45] Jordan_U should i boot the live disc and create the directory it says is missing [20:45] brontoeee, I thank you so much [20:46] brontoeee, I really appreciated your help [20:46] webBuilder, np, my hobby video is [20:46] question for you guys: I just started developing again under linux and use Eclipse. I have absolutely horrible performances using it (despite my 4 gigs of memory). I checked and use the SUN JRE... Does someone have the same issue with Eclipse? [20:46] khussein: create a group with you and the other user [20:46] ubuntu_mad: No. If init really doesn't exist then you have bigger problems. [20:46] khussein: change the ownership of the file to this group [20:47] FunkyPaillette: Yeah, that's what I thought. This solution sucks because it doesn't scale. [20:47] Jordan_U ooops [20:47] ubuntu_mad: Can you boot an oder kernel? [20:47] Like for every file that I wanna share with a different person, I create a new group. [20:47] thank you much, im off to upgrade using update manager then [20:47] =) [20:47] thank you [20:48] Jordan_U ill try boot yhe recovery one..one minute [20:48] khussein: indeed. I have no clue if you want specific permissions for each users [20:48] khussein, you would need a filesystem with acl support [20:49] i just installed 10.10 and my second monitor' [20:49] ubuntu_mad: I expect the fist recovery mode option will give the same result, try an older kernel (third entry in theboot menu or later). [20:49] s resolution is like, past the edge of the screen [20:49] Can anyone help with that? [20:49] Jordon_U big issue is i dont have any older kernels in the boot menu [20:49] lime: Do you have examples? [20:49] spectre^: you need a 3rd! [20:49] Jordan_U recovery has same issue [20:50] maybe [20:50] Also, this sounds like it should be a much simpler problem to solve at higher abstraction layers than the filesystem. [20:50] my 2nd monitor is a 47" lcd tv and I'm hoping to watch movies in ubuntu with it [20:50] khussein, http://wiki.kaspersandberg.com/doku.php?id=howtos:acl [20:50] spectre^: what happens when you try to set it thru the System Prefs [20:50] khussein, File access is negotiated at filesystem level [20:51] spectre^: see up to what rez it supports (manual around?) [20:51] Yeah it never fits corretly [20:51] it's always off the edge of the screen [20:51] lime: Additional restrictions can be added by samba / NFS. [20:51] Jordan_U, Not for a local user . . .

More, if I had searched "tearing", I would have solved my problem without coming here [21:16] right === ToAsTcfh is now known as toastcfh [21:16] getting really depressed. running ubuntu in vbox under vista...3Gb of ram with 1 allocated to ubuntu.

When I click on a line of text in a document, 3-5 seconds before the cursor appears on the line, etc. [21:17] Say I install and configure the latest ubuntu on a test machine along with a bunch of services. Is there a good way to 'clone' that process on another machine? [21:17] EchohcE: What keeps saying this?

[21:17] It's a crash report. I'd get it to paste, but I know it'd be spam. [21:17] I'm not sure what terms I should be googling === needhelp1 is now known as Guest15020 [21:17] arrrghhh, no, it doesn't :( [21:17] anygivenname, i think you're looking for ban2ip [21:17] anygivenname: to block attempts, google for denyhosts [21:18] j_ayen_green, there's your issue. install it natively like blakkheim suggests. [21:18] i have fail2ban [21:18] blakkheim, unfortunately, I need vista for things like quickbooks and other apps, and the fact that ubuntu ignores some of my peripherals [21:18] anygivenname: to keep log of attempts, you can man sshd [21:18] it makes the dev/sda3 to be 1mb. I think it's not big enough, but when I attempted to recreate the partitions manually when I got back to rEFIt and tried booting it kept hanging at 'grub-parchel not found, grub_rescue' [21:18] anygivenname, lol that's it sorry. [21:18] Ubuntu's default application for Documents can open http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats these all formats properly ? If not how can we support all of them with "Document Viewer" ? [21:19] j_ayen_green: you could dual boot. using it in a virtual machine is going to be slower than using it natively, especially without cpu virtualization support. [21:19] my sshd is not logging attempts [21:19] dunno why [21:19] anygivenname: change the loglevel in sshd_config to debug [21:19] EchohcE: What do you mean "attempted to recreate the partitions manually"? [21:19] blakkheim, if I dual boot...will I have access to the vista file system from ubuntu? [21:19] neither mine does. Listen to blakkheim but also man sshd [21:19] j_ayen_green: yes [21:20] j_ayen_green, yes. [21:20] beware of raising the log level [21:20] EchohcE: That 1meg partition is the correct size and is required to boot. Don't mess with it. [21:20] it's not always the safest bet [21:20] Jordan_U: that command did nothing here. is there a resume command or whatever ? [21:20] Jordan_U if i browse my file system via live disk the init file exists [21:20] I chose the third option to specify partitions manually in the installer because I haven't tried 10.04 since when it first came out. Back then it would automatically put Grub2 to dev/sda instead of /sda3 [21:21] euthymos, there are 2 places to enable vsync - 1) nvidia settings - both X and GL have the "Sync to VBlank" options and 2) Compiz - ccsm - General Options / Display Settings tab - Sync to VBlank. Best of luck. [21:21] I had to specify partitions manually when lynx first came out [21:21] and it gave me that message of a partial upgrade, then doesnt show me that again ? [21:21] blakkheim, arrrghhh is there a way to take with me the installed apps, mysql databases, etc.? I have backups, but I think that would be far from straight-forward [21:21] kpoman: There is no "resume" command, only normal apt and dpkg commands. Try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [21:21] ZykoticK9: it works. thanx [21:21] Ubuntu's default application for Documents can open http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats these all formats properly ? If not how can we support all of them with "Document Viewer" ? [21:21] it just tells me it is ok. .... but it is not [21:21] j_ayen_green, no only data. no installed apps. some things work in wine, but that's not perfect. [21:21] Jordan_U: nothing there, [21:21] EchohcE: sda is the correct place to install grub. [21:22] j_ayen_green: you can use dpkg to make a list of installed packages and then apply that to the new install. i'm not a mysql expert so i don't know about that [21:22] Jordan_U: do you think it could be related to this: "N: Ignoring file 'array-apt-key.asc' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension" [21:22] what's the best text-based browser? links2, elinks, lynx, w3...? [21:22] j_ayen_green, crossover may have a solution for quickbooks, not sure. [21:22] Jordan_U: not when I'm dual-booting [21:22] or has that changed? [21:22] EchohcE: Why not? === aoupi is now known as aoupi_ [21:22] arrrghhh, no, i meant the apps installed on ubuntu... blakkheim fielded it. [21:22] because it's never worked that way in the past. I'm putting ubuntu on a macbook and dualbooting [21:22] infid, they all suck in one way or another... i'd say lynx is the most popular tho. [21:23] j_ayen_green, ok then. [21:23] i can just do a mysqldump on all the databases I guess [21:23] arrrghhh: isn't lynx old and less powerful, eg no frames/css, etc [21:23] I have done a minimal install of ubuntu, now how do I start X? [21:23] and make a copy of the apache2 subdirectories and the etc/hosts file [21:23] apparle: what window manager? [21:23] infid, you're worried about frames & css in a text-based browser...? really? [21:23] I'm trying to edit etc/fstab using vi. This doesn't work. Are there any SIMPLE editing programs I can use to edit fstab? [21:23] arrrghhh: yeah because i dont have a vpn or anything but ssh and need to test a web page [21:23] before 9.10 it would just let me put the bootloader on dev/sda3. When grub2 came out, that bugged and woldn't let me auto-do that anymore. I had to create a dev/sda3 to put it on and it would work perfectly [21:23] EchohcE: grub-legacy didn't understand gpt and would overwrite the gpt label when installed to the mbr. Grub2 has never had this problem, but people still, incorrectly, recommend installing to a partition instead of the mbr. The mbr is the correct place for grub, even on macs. [21:23] blakkheim: actually I want to start the application enna [21:24] fester225: vi is simple to me, maybe try nano [21:24] apparle, i don't think it comes with X... it's the minimal install :P [21:24] arrrghhh: install x [21:24] infid, ssh -X [21:24] arrrghhh: I mean installed it [21:24] arrrghhh: the server doesnt support any of that [21:24] hey guys i have a kinda strange question. i dont even know exactlly what i'm looking for either but when using windows and internet explorer i could hit f11 and make the explorer window full screen. since using firefox i cannot seem to find away to do this. anyone know what i'm talking about? [21:24] At the end of editing I typed zz and the program didn't save or end. [21:24] even though my mac is efi instead of mbr? [21:24] goodevening [21:24] arrrghhh: nor can i ssh tunel port 80 since the way docroot is configured [21:24] apparle, uhm... ubuntu-desktop is a huge meta package. kinda defeats the purpse. there's guides out there. [21:24] EchohcE: Yes. [21:24] Chaos2358: F11 should make firefox fullscreen.. or maybe it was F10 [21:24] f11 [21:24] shot in the dark.. but any of the old UWWWB members around here? [21:25] Ubuntu's default application for Documents can open http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats these all formats properly ? If not how can we support all of them with "Document Viewer" ? [21:25] blakkheim, none of my functions make it full screen [21:25] infid, text based browsers are not a good way to test sites, no matter how you slice it [21:25] arrrghhh: I didn't install ubuntu-desktop [21:25] i want to reinstall ubuntu but need to keep my home dir as it is. can anyone tell me how to do that [21:25] when Grub2 would put it to dev/sda, it wouldn't work though. Has that changed? [21:25] ZykoticK9: problem now is that I get loooow FPS in 3D games. The very same game under Windows runs at a 400-500% faster framerate [21:25] blakkheim: any ideas? [21:25] apparle, that's a package too friend. [21:25] gah, I'll be back after I try it [21:25] Chaos2358: in firefox go to view -> fullscreen (and it might have a hotkey listed) [21:25] arrrghhh: in this case it's all i can do and it's good enough to see if my backend code is working via ssh editing [21:25] hello guys, how to know if i have a package installed (ruby) ? [21:25] apparle: you never told me what window manager you installed [21:25] blakkheim: At the end of editing I typed zz and vi didn't save or quit. [21:25] MorpheuXNL: make a copy of your home and the enxt time you may wanna make a partition just for home [21:26] fester225: maybe read some vim tutorials [21:26] fester225: :wq saves and quits [21:26] blakkheim: I want to start the application enna [21:26] apparle: does that require X? [21:26] blakkheim: yup [21:26] xangua: and how would i make a seperate partition for home do i do that in the setup [21:26] apparle: do you not want to use a window manager or? [21:26] blakkheim, maybe my firefox isnt up to date because i dont have full screen under view option [21:26] apparle, you can try just installing xserver-xorg, not sure how well that works. [21:26] euthymos, that's to be expected with vsync enabled - you can watch the fps drop dramatically just using glxgears - you get close to non with vsync enabled. You may need to alternate between the two settings, 1 for video 1 for 3D. Good luck man.

[21:27] lol wait thats arm [21:27] apparle, startx [21:27] blakkheim, how do i find out what version?

Is it nvidia drivers fault? [21:28] ubuntu_mad: The file exists, so that is not the problem. The problem is that, for whatever reason, your root partition isn't being mounted properly at boot. [21:28] bah. kinda looking for something like my eee-pc but touchscreen and bocketable [21:28] xangua: how can i check if it does not already have an own partition [21:28] blakkheim: why? why can't I start an x application straight away [21:28] blakkheim: I changed sshd_config to debug but still it is not logging attemepts onto auth.log [21:28] what application should I use to play DVD's? [21:28] Jordan_U what can i do? [21:28] MorpheuXNL: if you are not sure surely does not [21:28] ubuntu_mad: I don't know. [21:28] do you knows SMPS channels in IRC? [21:28] spectre^, vlc [21:28] blakkheim, ok thanks and which server should I use? [21:28] apparle: you can put the application in your ~/.xinitrc "exec nameofprogram" and try typing startx - might work, but a window manager would be easier [21:28] do you knows SMPS channels in IRC? [21:28] Does anyone know how to change the MAC address permanent. I try with puting the "hwaddress ether " in /etc/network/interfaces, but no success, every time I restart the network , network connection made new "auto Ethernet" connection without the MAC address. Any solution? [21:29] apparle, did startx not work? [21:29] arrrghhh: after I do startx , I get a new small terminal in left top quarter of my screen, but in this terminal, there are no sound drivers [21:29] anygivenname: restart the daemon [21:29] blakkheim, 3.6.11 [21:29] Jordan_U may do a fresh install [21:29] how? [21:29] !medibuntu [21:29] spectre^: any player, but you need libdvdcs2 installed; you can find it in medibuntu [21:29] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [21:29] apparle, you need alsa... c'mon man you installed -minimal [21:29] euthymos, i don't know man? that's something that's very difficult to test, what are you using as a comparison? if you're using wine games you really can't, cause that's going to go through software rendering. [21:29] Pe3k_: that's up to you, i imagine the one you tried before was just temporarily down [21:29] Chaos2358: that's the newest [21:29] trying to install ubuntu from a usb drive. the install completes successfully but ubuntu never boots up. just stays at a blinking cursor. anyone know why this could happen? [21:29] anygivenname: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [21:29] ZykoticK9: an opengl game which is 100% crossplatform [21:29] arrrghhh: I did install alsa, and if x is not started, it works fine, but after startx it says no soundcards found [21:30] apparle, hum... that's odd. [21:30] binary01: Do you have more than one hard drive? [21:30] euthymos, ya like quake3 on both systems would be a fair test i suppose. [21:30] apparle, why the hodge-podge system anyways? [21:30] blakkheim, any idea why i dont have a fullscreen option? do i need a plug in or something? [21:30] no. im on a thinkpad w500 [21:30] Chaos2358: F11 doesn't fullscreen your firefox? [21:30] arrrghhh: means? [21:30] trying to install ubuntu 10.10 [21:30] Chaos2358: Or is that not your question? [21:30] euthymos, are you using the 256 nvidia (current) on 10.10? it seems like the fastest video i've ever had (haven't tried many games yet though) [21:30] Chaos2358: no it should be there, i really don't know why. i don't use ubuntu, maybe they applied a patch to change the behavior? you can ask someone else who has firefox to check if they have it [21:30] apparle, you seem to be trying to fit a square peg into a round hole for some odd reason. i'm just wondering why. [21:31] blakkheim, yes thats my question f11 doesnt work neither do any of the other fkeys even when paired with function [21:31] arrrghhh: just to see how minimal stuff works. [21:31] in 3.6.11 f11 works just fine Chaos2358 [21:31] binary01: Try booting for the USB again. Ubuntu's installer has a bug where it sometimes installs grub to the wrong drive. [21:31] arrrghhh: where does it say no sound cards found? alsamixer? [21:31] Chaos2358: using another desktop/window manager¿ maybe you changed the key combination [21:31] Cool [21:31] Jordan_U might upgrading to 10.10 fix it?is that possible via live disk? [21:31] Got my Ubuntu almost all set up now :D [21:31] aeon-ltd, that's apparle you want to talk to ;) [21:31] xangua havent changed any window settings [21:31] Zykotic9: actually it doesn't seem I can install any version numbered 256. I'm using the one called "current" [21:31] what do i do after i boot from the usb? [21:31] Chaos2358: Are you using a VM or is Ubuntu running directly? [21:32] Diamondcite, vm??? [21:32] Chaos2358, do you not have normal function keys? [21:32] arrrghhh: oh right, sorry [21:32] binary01: If it boots into your installed system, then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change which device grub is configured to install to. [21:32] arrrghhh, yes top of keyboard 1 through 12 [21:32] Chaos2358: Err let me rephrase, HOW is this ubuntu running? Physically on a box infront of you.. or in a window on another computer? [21:32] I think the Sugar preview messed up my mouse button & a few keyboard key assignments (left-click grabs rather than generating a left-click, tab doesn't work properly, etc). Anyone have any idea how to get gnome to revert back to the defaults? This is on Ubuntu 10.04, btw [21:32] apparle: where does it say no sound cards found? alsamixer? [21:33] Virtual Machine* Chaos2358 , Diamondcite not everyone here uses english as primary language use full names of things ;) [21:33] hey, is there any easy way to downgrade X? [21:33] thanks, ill try that [21:33] binary01: You're welcome. [21:33] Diamondcite, ubuntu is installed on the hard drive of the computer i'm using [21:33] Gnurdux: besides uninstalling and installing a older version? [21:33] aeon-ltd: never mind, a restart seems to have fixed it [21:33] aeon-ltd, well, without breakign the rest of ubuntu [21:33] Chaos2358: So do things like F5 to refresh a page work? [21:33] xangua, i use english as my first language but not to familiar with the tech accronyms [21:33] what release is 10.10 called? :P [21:34] apparle: oh good :), reminds me of the I.T Crowd [21:34] Can anyone give me a script how to make automaticly change MAC address with the #ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 [21:34] Gnurdux: then no, why do you need to? [21:34] aeon-ltd: IT crowd? [21:34] Diamondcite, yes [21:34] I would love to change my mac [21:34] yes someone tell me too [21:34] Angelov: You can use macchanger for that [21:34] apparle: a tv show [21:34] aeon-ltd, because ATI's latest driver, which is the only one that works on the new X, is broken [21:34] apparle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9j80Jkc_A [21:34] Chaos2358: Are you in a DEFAULT ubuntu envoriment(GNOME) or did you change it to something else? [21:35] Diamondcite, default gnome [21:35] Hrm.. open up a terminal. [21:35] Press F11 [21:35] What happens? [21:35] Gnurdux: ok then i've got no solution but wait for the next release to fix the bug [21:35] nightwalk: Yes but with that I have to change every time I boot the Ubuntu [21:35] aeon-ltd: arrrghhh now what should I do so that my system starts straight with enna and exits when I close enna [21:35] ? [21:35] Chaos2358: Open up a terminal, press F11, does it full screen? [21:35] it makes it full screen [21:35] Chaos2358: So firefox is alone... [21:35] Angelov: so? Just call it from /etc/rc.local [21:35] aeon-ltd, so downgrading X will necessarily break all of Ubuntu? [21:36] yes [21:36] Chaos2358: Hold on let me update mine ^_^ [21:36] Diamondcite, ok [21:36] How can I back up my entire system? I'd like to upgrade from Lucid to Maverick, but if anything goes wrong, I would like to be able to "flip a switch" and have the partition become Lucid again; exactly as I left it. Is this possible/how? [21:36] clonezilla [21:36] apparle: safe mode, try the fallback kernel [21:36] I just used it last night ^^ [21:36] aeon-ltd: means? [21:36] Diamondcite, no need i just found the problem [21:37] I need a way to enhance my sound in Ubuntu, is there any applicaition such as SRS or DFX for any player or Ubuntun in general [21:37] Chaos2358: Really? Care to share for the others? [21:37] nightwalk: I want to make it automaticly to start the connection coz I use wired connection , its anoying to change it every time :) [21:37] Chaos2358, tried nuking .mozzila ? (just rename .mozzila to .mozzila_bak) and restart firefox [21:37] apparle: seems you want it dedicated to 'kiosk mode' <-- google for the technique [21:37] apparle: when you boot there should be a option in GRUB to boot into the safe kernel [21:37] Chaos2358, thats /home/Chaos/.mozilla [21:38] I need a way to enhance my sound in Ubuntu, is there any applicaition such as SRS or DFX for any player or Ubuntun in general [21:38] Diamondcite, when i have the window expanded to "fit to screen" and press f11 nothing happens when i shrink the window and press f11 it makes it full screen and hides the toolbars as it is supposed to [21:38] Angelov: My answer is still the same. Dump either a macchanger command, or an appropriate ifconfig command to /etc/rc.local [21:38] !repeat | perseus [21:38] perseus: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:39] i got nothing particular in any forum.. [21:39] can i upgrade a live usb from 10.04 to 10.10? [21:39] ubuntu_mad: live USB ... i think not. [21:40] perseus ok thanks [21:40] Diamondcite, that was the problem. i have two inches of toolbars i dont want to have to dissable and enable constantlly just want them to auto hide as f11 does when it expands the window but it does not work when the window is already filling up the screen [21:40] jordan_U, i did what you explained and it is asking which disk to install grub and none of them work when i select them [21:40] ubuntu_mad, you can try might be fun. but if it doesn't work, just make another one. [21:40] Chaos2358: Thank you for the information, I'll keep that in mind ^_^ [21:40] Why are the packages "libeina-svn-05" giving not available under maverick [21:40] binary01: What do you mean by them "not working"? Do you get an error message? [21:40] nightwalk: about the /etc/rc.local , I try with it but no success, btw I leave the value for "exit 0" (maybe I need to erase that)? Give me explanaion what i need to do if you know [21:41] Diamondcite, thanks for the help [21:41] how can I open up a bunch of files [21:41] she_dyed: I am getting very old links, do you have any specific link? [21:41] without having the "run in terminal, display, close" dialogue popping up for each file [21:41] WXZ what do you mean by opening bunch of files? [21:41] I have a internal soundcard on my motherboard and a external pci soundcard. would like to configure so that ubuntu uses my external sound card. how could I do this? [21:42] WXZ what kind of files you trying to open? [21:42] WXZ, what type of files are these...? [21:42] Angelov: Everything you put in /etc/rc.local needs to be *above* the 'exit 0'. Anything below it won't get executed, because the exit 0 causes the script to abort and return control back to the calling process (init, in this case) [21:42] .note files [21:42] with geany [21:42] eli_: gnome alsamixer may have the settings your looking for [21:42] apparle: narrow it down to firefox or browsers only because the technique 'EXPORT DISPLAY something' hasnt changed [21:42] i select my main partiton and a small swap partition and i get an error that says 'failed to install the following devices, /dev/sda /dev/mmcblk0 do you want to continue anyway? [21:42] eli_: disable onboard card in bios so ubuntu has no choice [21:42] WXZ, associate your favorite reader with these files then. right click -> properties on one of the .note files [21:42] WXZ try opening gedit first and then select drag an drop to that ... [21:43] with gedit it works fine [21:43] with ubunu 10.10 do i have sshd installed? [21:43] binary01: Don't select the partitions at all (though that probably won't fix the error). [21:43] WXZ or you can do what arrrghhh said ... [21:43] i get The remote system refused the connection. [21:43] how do I find what version of java is installed on my ubuntu system? [21:43] so the port is opened i guess [21:43] they're already associated with geany [21:43] WXZ: nautilus, the file manager, has an option in preferences to ask or not ask this for text files [21:43] binary01: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"? [21:43] ubuntu_mad: Sure, you should be able to upgrade a live 10.04 media to 10.10. Just be aware you'll have to contend with the stupidity that is dpkg, and will most likely have to go into the filesystem several times and delete dpkg's scripts *manually*, since the debian soup nazis don't believe in providing --force [21:44] actually I have a work around [21:44] just goes back to command line [21:44] hey you guys, I just wonder how you can make a little textbox appear on the screen of a computer you logged in by ssh? [21:44] hello guys, i execute this command: $ aptitude install ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev ruby1.9.1-examples ruby1.9.1-full rubybook rubygems-doc rubygems1.9.1 libmysql-ruby1.9.1 libpgsql-ruby1.9.1 libxml-ruby1.9.1 libnokogiri-ruby1.9.1 libhttpclient-ruby1.9.1 libzip-ruby1.9.1 libspreadsheet-ruby1.9.1 libtwitter-ruby1.9.1 why im getting The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. when trying 'ruby -v' to check the ruby version installed ?? can anyone bring me so [21:44] me clue? [21:44] nightwalk how do you REALLY feel about things ? [21:45] This is pretty active IRC :) [21:45] jo: DISPLAY=:0.0 notify-send "Test" "Message" <-- something like that? [21:45] ls -l $(type -path -all java) shows 2 java files - How do I find out which version of JAVA is installed? [21:45] ls -l $(type -path -all java) shows 2 java files - How do I find out which version of JAVA is installed? [21:45] bfinch: Don't get me wrong, I like Ubuntu. I just really, really hate dpkg and it's backward way of doing things [21:45] yup, that worked :) [21:45] disappearedng what's up [21:45] Im reading in the forums alot about manual editing when upgrading via live disk [21:45] nightwalk: ok, so I do that right. but nothig change. Something is weard with my connection. In the /etc/network/interfaces I put the MAC address, and that was work for ubuntu 10.04. Now I update to 10.10 and everytime I try to connect the Network Manager connects with new "Auto Ethernet" Connection with no MAC address specify [21:46] arrrghhh, perseus: I just opened up the text editor, selected all the .note files and dragged them into the text editors window [21:46] VCoolio: I'll give it a shot [21:46] anyone knows a tool by which i can enhance my sound? [21:46] darkmist: java -version ??? [21:46] WXZ, ok... [21:46] balr0g: when you do ruby -v what do you see [21:46] WXZ yeah .. thats what i do :) [21:46] nightwalk.... oh i agree [21:47] !upgrade | ubuntu_mad did you read this? [21:47] ubuntu_mad did you read this?: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:47] nightwalk it's just nice seeing someone else who "gets it" [21:47] java version "1.6.0_20" [21:47] Angelov: The stuff in /etc/rc.local gets ran *after* all of the other init scripts, so your network connection is being brought up before the mac gets changed. Try adding 'service networking restart' after the line that changes the mac address [21:47] anyone use sony vaio on ubuntu 10.10 [21:47] binary01: No output at all from "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"? [21:47] ls -l $(type -path -all java) shows 2 java files >> which are [21:47] /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java [21:47] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -> ../jre/bin/java [21:47] nighthwalk it's hard to justify deb when other much better stuff (like pacman) exsist [21:48] hello, got a question: how can i tell if i have a program installed with apt-get, or aptitude in cmdlne. syntax? thanks [21:48] I use ubuntu 10.10 sony vaio vgn-320e === nouitfvf is now known as nouitfvf|aw [21:48] heya all [21:48] bfinch: imo, rpm is the best solution we have atm. [21:48] oh wow [21:48] aeon-ltd: why 2 java files are shown? [21:49] darkmist: you having an issue with elluminate or something that calls on java-6 jvm? [21:49] nightwish: in the r.local? Or Interfaces? [21:49] i'm struggling to remove the remnants of X from my mythtv backend server [21:49] bfinch: pacman may or may not be nicer, but it's only available in one distro: arch. Arch is so badly broken and outdated that I could never recommend people use it [21:49] nightwalk well i would agree except that there is no standard wrapper util for it... AND rpm hasome issues that the devs refuse to fix [21:49] oly562 .. so there is an issue with my java installation ..right? [21:50] oly562 .. how do I fix the problem? [21:50] can you launch a java jm app from the net, where java loads, and it opens a new window? [21:50] nightwalk.... um i see you really do not know arch... becasue as a rooling release it is never outdated. [21:50] rooling =rolling [21:50] nightwalk many woud disagree about arch :P [21:50] I've removed packages like gdm but ubuntu is still trying to load x [21:50] jvm however its said, ya know, the new window that pops up, like in an elluminate session? [21:50] NOTHING is outdated about a rolling release [21:50] nightwalk yeah ... just as i said .. :P [21:50] bfinch: careful...there are actually two different rpm's out in the wild now. If the talk I've heard in #rpm is to be believed, that particular branch may get .deb support before long [21:50] hello, got a question: how can i tell if i have a program installed with apt-get, or aptitude in cmdlne. syntax? thanks [21:50] gotta say I don't like the netbook remix much, I prefer running the full version, works fine [21:50] and pacman works so it is hardly "broken" [21:50] can you launch a java jm app from the net, where java loads, and it opens a new window? HOW?? [21:51] is it apt-get info? [21:51] do i have sshd with ubuntu 10.10? or do i need to type sudo apt-get install openssh-server / [21:51] please :) [21:51] perseus: arch doesn't have virtio support. First and biggest failing. [21:51] darkmist: i had a similiar issue if not the same [21:51] nightwalk, rpm support for deb is an oxymoron [21:51] what is virtio ? [21:51] hehe [21:51] :D [21:51] upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and now getting netatalk warning when i connect to afp shares from my mac, 'something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using temporary CNID DB instead. Check server messages for details!' [21:51] oly562: you can't, in the end they both use dpkg, the same database; only shell history could tell if it was recently [21:51] grid_: why don't you try? won't hurt [21:51] I am trying to use access.conf and it's not working. Wondering if I somehow have to enable it in ubuntu. [21:51] bfinch: I dunno. I wouldn't mind making .deb's if I didn't have to contend with debian's god-awful build methodology [21:52] nightwalk no ideas buddy .. but i have been on neowin and there are some pretty staunch supporters there. [21:52] darkmist: no idea, maybe one has different permissions [21:52] binary01: No output at all from "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"? [21:52] VCoolio: oly562 i agree, was gonna say it [21:52] she_dyed: didn't find anything useful, everyone installs a window manager [21:52] oly562: any idea how I could solve the issue? [21:52] jordan_u can you repeat your quest? [21:52] here is what i did,,, when the popup comes, make sure it's says, java-6, if not, you goto your browser apps settings under options and make sure it loads the /usr/bin/java-6 === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`hardwork === Shadows`hardwork is now known as Shadows`yardwork [21:52] Angelov: if you do 'service networking restart', it bounces the network interfaces. Putting that after your mac change statement *should* allow any mac binding you're doing from other configs to work === PepeLoco98702 is now known as Felip0n [21:53] aeon-ltd .. both have the same set of permissions [21:53] thats how i fixed it, and then when the popup shows, just make sure to select the "always use this program" option [21:53] simple [21:53] perseus: I am giving support. [21:53] aeon-ltd: .. both have the same set of permissions [21:53] shouldnt matter how many java installs and dir's you have, as long as you point it to the correct binary to run [21:53] nightwalk.... since arch has a TRUE user supported repo (aur) if YOU seek virtio... YOU can create it [21:53] Are there any benefits to using ext4 instead of ext3 on external usb hard disks? Less likelyhood of bad blocks, etc.? [21:53] i loaded java 6, and the firefox java-6 pluggin [21:54] perseus: I'd be kind of curious *why*. Unless it's just a cult following, I may have missed something important last time I evaluated it. [21:54] jordan_U sorry ... :P [21:54] etheretic1, perhaps.... but i have NEVER had lost data with ext3 [21:54] etheretic1: no it just supports very large partitions and stuff [21:54] that is why you have a few diff java dir's i believe [21:54] Why doesn't tab work sometimes in minimal install? [21:54] perseus: np :) [21:54] etheretic1: it doesn't matter for an usb, though some will claim ext3 is more stable [21:54] nightwalk have a look there in Linux support forum .. u will be baffled .. :D [21:54] bfinch: I have my own rpm repo out on the 'net already, and there's also launchpad. Don't really see a problem there. [21:54] darkmist: same goes for anything, you have to have the right /usr/bin/program-bin pointed to in browser settings, like i use evince to ALWAYS open up my pdf's, i set that in apps in options of FF [21:55] etheretic1: and ext3 is a little better supported by MS if you need [21:55] Swian: - first thing wrong with UNR is that its gnome based rather than for example lxde/xfce based -1 the seccound its that its interface forces a modern gpu for no reason so your old notebook that has a big(ger) screen but low resolution, and low resources like cpu and ram cant profit from the netbook version -2 and still even if you do have unr running its hardly intergrating... [21:55] ...all the apps [21:55] same for videos, plugins, so forth, they need to be set in FF, sometimes manually if you have comflicting plugins grabbing for the same operation [21:55] bfinch: Ah. Ran amule temp and incoming on a quite new WD 1.5tb elements. Salvaging rest w. testdisk now, :/ [21:55] darkmist: understand? [21:55] nightwalk .. and whats with these RPM repos .. y do you need that ... [21:56] nightwalk, um. i did n't say there was a problem.... YOU did .... and i really cannot see what you are saying aobut arch to be true.. [21:56] right now, im trying to get friggen Hula working to play through the browser [21:56] Ichat: I like gnome, but didn't care for the interface, performance wise it was ok [21:56] is there anything in the default repos equivalent to timemachine? Can find something outside but would rather have it managed already. [21:56] VCoolio: i boycot m$... [21:56] oly562: its not browser. I am working with Eclipse and seems like my build is getting messed up because of JAVA compiler mismatch [21:56] Hi. Anyone experienced sound problems (no sound) with Ubuntu latest edition (Maverick Meerkat) in OO.o Impress? Thanks. [21:56] she_dyed: you there? [21:56] oly562: and so I dont want 2 different versions running on my ubuntu system [21:57] darkmist: what is eclipse? what does it do [21:57] nightwalk, however I did comment on rpm's devs not including needed features that actually work (like rollback) [21:57] bfinch: have a hunch amule may be a bit hard on hd's. [21:57] darkmist: remove them both and install one. start from scratch === dtcummin is now known as dtcummin_away [21:57] apparle: yes...also looking [21:57] perseus: I have my own repo, because even with add-ons like rpmfusion, some important packages get missed [21:57] nightwalk: I will sent ou link with pic to see If I am doing everytnig rigth [21:57] oly562: eclipse is a programming ide [21:57] she_dyed: ohh [21:57] etheretic1, well.... if you are doing something that looses data in eth3, i would suggest you examine THAT ... [21:57] sudo aptitude remove javawhatever java2whatever [21:57] darkmist: sounds more advanced, i would have to much with it to get it to work by my own hand lol [21:57] good luck [21:58] nightwalk .. okok :P m new to all this ... lol [21:58] bfinch: are there any gui recovery programs? [21:58] oly562: ok .. shd try removing both java versions then [21:58] nightwalk for me apt-get install is enuf [21:58] bfinch: I'm not sure that's correct. At least, not from the rpm5.org branch (the one mandriva uses) [21:58] darkmist: also, dont confuse plugins with programs, as this is confusing [21:58] darkmist: i would [21:58] kill them all! [21:58] etheretic1: I saw some on gnomefiles.org but never used them [21:59] oly562: thanks [21:59] Swian, i like gnome also on my dualcore turion x64 notebook with 2gb ram and on my triple-core desktop with 6gb ram. hell i want nothing but gnome. - but on a old p4 subnotebook (dell 110L) and an acer 10inc netbook (both 1gb ram ) i rather have sothing that is more light and uses as little resources as possible. [21:59] anyone run into the "hula" 64bit issue and solved it ? [21:59] perseus: 'apt-get install' is kind of a pain sometimes, too. I can't just do something like 'apt-get install *ffi*' and have it work. Instead, I have to find more specific names to install. [21:59] Hello, I have a little problem, I have reinstalled Windows after ubuntu (on a different partition), and i can't reinstall grub2, it looks like the guide to do that don't works if we have a separate /boot partition... :( [21:59] nightwish: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kallc/5111461673/ [21:59] etheretic1, dunno....as i don't have them as i don't need them [22:00] Hello please can I ask how to get a list of email from the command line in UNE 10.04 [22:00] nightwalk yeah true .. i get headaches when i have to install specific stuffs like some libs .... the names are all crazy with what not in the prefix [22:00] nightwalk: please get back to on topic talk [22:00] perseus: ...and even with ppa's on launchpad, there's *still* things that are allowed to get hopelessly ancient for lack of updates [22:00] when I do that what is shown on the guide, I get the minimal grub shell at boot [22:00] so whats the diff between apt-get and aptitude, seems like aptitude works a little better at some installs [22:00] nightwalk: use the apt-cache search "tha_package" and apt-get install "specific name of the package" [22:00] bfinch: s'like a spare tire - you don't know u needed one until... [22:00] cmdline i mean [22:00] access to more sources? [22:00] oly562: they are just different front ends to dpkg [22:00] guntbert: it *is* on topic. It's apt-get, which ubuntu uses, does it not? [22:00] Kedare:the simple solution is to reinstall a linux with grub. triple boot. or you can just reinstall grub with a handy guide from google [22:00] oly562: different handling of dependencies and aptitude has a cli frontend [22:00] ikonia: k [22:00] she_dyed: this seems to be the way to automatic login and startx, how to trigger enna while starting x? [22:00] oly562: aptitude handles dependencies better and keeps things cleaner [22:01] oly562: no, there is no difference, they can only use the same things as dpkg [22:01] she_dyed: http://it.dennyhalim.com/2008/10/linux-automatic-login-startx-and.html [22:01] nightwalk:http://www.flickr.com/photos/kallc/5111461673/ [22:01] nightwalk you might like the wrapper script for pacman.... yaourt installs from either source or binary (automagically) ANYTHING it can find in repos AND it uses **regx** so you can search like you woudl like for packages [22:01] VCoolio: ah, thats what i thought , see sometimes a program that wont install with apt-get , installs with aptitude in cmdline. go figure [22:01] apparle: lemme look... [22:01] nightwalk: getting help is one thing - ranting is quite another [22:01] VCoolio: i have tested that a few times, and i know there is some diff [22:01] there isn't [22:01] guntbert: Just because you have a difference of opinion doesn't make what I'm saying 'ranting' [22:02] they can only intereact with dpkg in the same way [22:02] fail2ban is working but ssh is not logging attempts in log.....sshd_config is set to DEBUG......any ideas ? [22:02] ok, i was just imagining a program loading with one and not the other.... [22:02] probably [22:02] oly562: that's weird; shouldn't happen, is not an intended difference at least [22:02] nightwalk gutbert bfinch ... chill ppl :) [22:02] i dont imagine [22:02] VCoolio: i can say that has happend hmmm 10x at least since i have been using ubuntu [22:02] at least [22:02] but ikonia is all seeing, he must be right [22:03] oly562: you've probably not done sudo apt-ghet update to bring the repos into sync [22:03] oly562: they both use the same repos so thats all it can be [22:03] ikonia: possible, now that makes sense, however, i usually do [22:03] that's all it can be [22:03] nightwalk: What do you think? [22:03] ikonia: i understand,,, just pointing out my experiences [22:03] guys can you please suggest me a website or a forum that i can check for linux alternatives ????? [22:03] mileage may differ [22:03] anyways.... HERE's a question.... waht is the bast (if any) git GUI tool that will fetch git contents by point and click .... ?

I'm looking for an app actively maintained, curses or slang based. I allready googled and found some, but I'm open to suggestions ;) [22:24] well...appears a third calling of 'gnome-session' fixed my mouse & keyboard issues (for now). Kind of annoys me that there doesn't seem to be any interface or documentation on changing gnome's mouse/keyboard mappings, though [22:24] ah yes... NOT alsa.... yes.... so i might have need for poss ... but other than that... (and setting levels) i don;t tend to mess with audio [22:24] question: i am receiving this error: we're sorry, the hulu player is not supported on 64 bit versions of Flash ubuntu [22:24] she_dyed: does this mean it is in / [22:24] perseus :D <3 well how about with /dev/sda3 not mounting then ? [22:24] anyone have a work around? [22:24] she_dyed: if this is the case can i still make /home on a different partition [22:24] Kai696 what about that? [22:24] :D [22:25] I think I messed up java. a 'which java' returns blank, but a 'sudo which java' returns /usr/bin/java. I can't run java without being su [22:25] it won't mount, saying i need a FS tag so i added the proper ext4 tag and still ntohing (sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt) [22:25] @ perseus [22:25] oly562, why are you using 64-bit flash. it's unsupported and insecure [22:25] MorpheuXNL: not running live are you, or wubi [22:25] she_dyed: nope [22:25] psilynt: do « echo "$PATH" » as normal user [22:25] psilynt: your $PATH is probably different than root's [22:26] i am NOT "normal" [22:26] for a ubuntu system [22:26] No... sudo echo $PATH and echo $PATH return the same value [22:27] oly562: yes. use the mozilla-packaged version of firefox, or chrome, etc [22:27] Kai696 really no ideas but why don't you try force mounting ... [22:27] MorpheuXNL: and not a VM, then we are the same, we have in in / [22:27] it* [22:27] if i need to "make" on a install of john the ripper, am I picking the linux-x86-64 version? [22:27] <_Neytiri_> i am haveing a horrible tim listening to ausio its skipping badly on my system [22:27] is it possible to theme gnome-chess? [22:27] nightwalk: i did [22:27] al_nz1, if you're on a x86-64 system, yes [22:28] psilynt: That doesn't mean anything as $PATH is expanded by the shell, as your user, before being passed to sudo then echo. [22:28] its apearance looks awful. [22:28] SwedeMike: i guess i could grep -i whateva /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates [22:28] Jordan_U: What do I need to do to, then? [22:28] Automatic printing of new email + marking as read, any suggestions please? apps, plugins, scripts? [22:29] i guess this works pretty good for what im trying to do: less /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates|grep -i flash |less try it ;) [22:29] ikonia, oly562 i already installed ruby1.9.1 using Synaptic, same thing: The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. [22:29] oly562: So you're running 32 bit firefox? What about flash? Did you install a 32 bit version of that as well? [22:29] what can i do? [22:29] psilynt: printenv PATH; sudo printenv PATH [22:29] nightwalk: nah, 64bit [22:29] thus the error [22:29] why do i want to go back a step ? lol the default is 64amd now,, lol [22:30] No it's not. [22:30] psilynt: But the problem seems to be that you just don't have /usr/bin/ in your user's $PATH. [22:30] go order a new box from dell/hp so forth, its 64bit now [22:30] Flash isn't. [22:30] oly562: 32 bit browsers are actually kind of nicer. Being 32 bit, they can't hog all of the system's memory like they otherwise would :/ [22:30] can anyobody help me with this ruby package? why isnt seem to be installed? [22:30] Adobe have stopped developing 64-bit flash. It never left alpha. As much of a pain it is, you need to use 32-bit flash. [22:30] the only difference is normal user has /usr/games and su has /usr/X11/bin [22:30] i guess i could load linux on my ibm aptiva c67 to be with the times.... [22:30] Stormx2: It's back again. [22:30] i have 4 gigs of mem, nightwalk, not an issue [22:30] Jordan_U /usr/bin is in my normal user's path [22:30] Really?! [22:31] oly562: I have 8gb, and yet 64 bit chromium *still* eventually sucked it up and caused my system to become unusable [22:31] amd's were designed for backend proc's so , for my needs i'll stick with 64bit from here till 128bit [22:31] jordan_U: It's only java that I have a problem with, other commands work. Could it be a permission issue? [22:31] nightwalk: i dont use google stuff yet, other than gmail/voice [22:31] it's not ready yet ;) [22:32] is there a way to configure that indicator applet so it does not display the things i never use? ("memenu", that large keyboard layout icon) [22:32] psilynt: Can you run /usr/bin/java (entering the full path) successfully as your user? [22:32] why my ruby package isnt running? [22:32] Jordan_U: bash: /usr/bin/java: Permission denied [22:32] Jordan_U: How can I change this? [22:32] oly562: chrome is slightly more polished and less memory-hungry than chromium, but you're right, they're not ready. [22:32] psilynt: How did you install java? [22:32] balr0g: are you saying you can not log ruby1.x? [22:33] oi brasil [22:33] oly562, i can run it, it say The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. [22:33] can0t* [22:33] balr0g: what are you trying to do, curious now [22:33] can't* [22:33] Jordan_U: Synaptic [22:33] git-gui isn't butting it [22:33] butting=cutting [22:33] oly562, just trying to isntall ruby1.9.1 [22:33] Consequently, one can make firefox look and act almost like chrome already. It'll be really interesting if someone figures out a way to get the tabs in the top bar like chrome does, though. Might even be enough to kill off chrome [22:34] i got cat /proc/spuinfo to see what my cpu supports, how do I tell if x86 or x86-64? [22:34] try this command: less /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates|grep -i ruby |less ,,,, or like SwedeMike stated earlier, dpgk --list|grep ruby [22:34] can someone tell me how to install the basic standard video driver from command line? Something is really messed up with my nvidia drivers so I purged them and now I want to install/use the basic stock drivers [22:34] Jordan_U: I was putzing around with trying to get the snapshots of the jdk, and I following a poorly written web guide, I believe I messed something up. [22:34] dpgk --list|grep -i ruby [22:34] I cant boot into anything but command line [22:34] nightwalk: they're making an option for tabs on top in ff4, it'll be even the default on windows afaik [22:35] psilynt: your executable is probably missing the executable flag. Do 'chmod +x ' [22:35] nightwalk the current prebeta 7 does in windows vista and osx, it doesn't in linux :( [22:35] rahduke: start ubuntu in safe gfx mode (select recovery mode at bootup), then you'll have a graphic environment and can install the nvidia drivers normally [22:35] psilynt: What is the output of "ls -l $(readlink -f /usr/bin/java)" ? [22:35] xangua: pfft...don' care about windows. Windows isn't posix-conformant :( [22:36] dstaubsauger: i cant even run it in low gfx it wont do anything, just goes to command line after attempting [22:36] perseus how to do that ? [22:36] Tons of plugins don't work with ff4/minefield yet either, and that's a *big* showstopper for me [22:36] dstaubsauger: there was a point where it would get me to my login screen but after trying to login it would sh*t the bed and bring me back to login screen [22:37] something is really really effed up [22:37] rahduke: and youre sure it's your nvidia driver? [22:37] oly562, http://pastie.org/1245758 lot of output on both commands, that is the dpkg output [22:37] Jordan_U: it returns the contents of the current working directory [22:37] no, im not sure, i have no clue what it is....just assuming its an X error or an Nvidia error [22:37] hey guys, i'm having a problem updated my repository list. running apt-get update always results in "failed to fetch ..... Release.gpg" in 10.10. But i can browse the the gpg url in my browser fine.. [22:38] <_Neytiri_> i am having a horrible time listening to audio its skipping badly on my system with my digital card [22:38] sb [22:38] where are compiz settings stored, are they in the home dir? [22:38] oly562, sb? [22:38] can anyone please recommend a bash scripting room? [22:38] rahduke: you can try 'Xorg -configure', but doing so may make fixing the problem harder. Might want to check that the nvidia module is loaded first ('lsmod |grep nvidia') [22:38] looks like ruby1.9 is install [22:38] stand by... good grief [22:38] rahduke: do you have any third party repos (ppas) active? [22:38] psilynt: Are you sure you entered the command correctly? What is the output of just "readlink -f /usr/bin/java"? [22:38] sby = standing by [22:38] oly562, yes it is, but why in the terminal it says The rybu program is not installed ?? [22:39] oly562, oh! i see [22:39] nightwalk: ive done that and the nvida module shows up, however when i try to load it with "sudo modprobe nvidia" it fails to load [22:39] Jordan_U: Very sure, did it twice when I realized what it did.... "readlink -f /usr/bin/java" returns nil [22:39] dstaubsauger: nothing that would relate to graphics [22:39] rahduke: what kernel version? [22:39] hang on ill tell ya [22:39] balr0g: im not a ruby programmer, i do see its installed though per your pastebin, like i ask before, what are you trying to do... i believe ruby is like a glue [22:39] psilynt: What is the output of "readlink /usr/bin/java" ? [22:39] Jordan_U: "ls -l /usr/bin/java" returns "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2010-10-24 15:47 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java" [22:39] rahduke: but something that relates to gnome and could cause the session/gdm to fail? [22:40] /etc/alternatives/java [22:40] 35-22 [22:40] balr0g: no clue why your getting that error, how are you using ruby is the logical question now.... [22:40] nightwalk [22:40] psilynt: And ls -l /etc/alternatives/java ? [22:40] oly562, i need ruby to use RubyOnRails, Agile Web Development [22:40] rahduke: did you install the nvidia proprietary module via the installer from nvidia's website? [22:40] dstaubsauger: what do u suggest i do? It was running fine for like over a week..... then i reset today and everything went to hell [22:40] Jordan_U: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java [22:41] rahduke: reset what? [22:41] nightwalk: all i did was enable the driver in hardware drivers, didnt install anything fancy [22:41] dstaubsauger: when i reset my htpc today [22:41] balr0g: i assume you need to point the AWD to point to the bin that it needs... i have never used that b4. but logically it appears your are not configured right. maybe the AWD site has input on how to point paths so forth, no clue. anyone? [22:41] psilynt: and ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java ? [22:41] dstaubsauger: it was running for like 5 days b4 the reset [22:42] what do i have to do to make audio work over HDMI? this is for ubuntu 10.04 (or whichever is the last release with LTS) [22:42] Jordan_U: Permission denied. run with sudo? [22:42] oly562, how to know the path for ruby and irb (the ruby interpreter), and how to know if that path is environment for the terminal, and how to add a path to the environment? or how to address this issue? [22:42] rahduke: can you login on the cli and do sudo startx? [22:42] :| [22:42] ill try [22:42] rahduke: hmm....well, I know the default gcc (4.4) isn't what they used to build the 2.6.35 kernel I'm running here, and the kernel is picky about the version used to compile things matching up. Might try changing your /usr/bin/gcc link to /usr/bin/gcc-4.2, and re-install the package [22:42] maybe the error message contains some info [22:42] psilynt: Ahh, so it's one of the directories whose permissions are bad. [22:42] balr0g: sorry your asking the wrong person... try another... [22:43] psilynt: Can you post the guide that got you into this mess? [22:43] dstaubsauger: "failed to load X" nvidia module not found [22:43] oly562, ok, will keep seeking [22:43] rahduke: I don't think the ubuntu people would have made that obvious of a mistake though, so try it as a last resort [22:43] Jordan_U: Sure, After I realized I'd botched it, I tried uninstalling and putting normal sun jre on. One moment. [22:43] nightwalk: how do i do that? [22:43] from command line [22:43] hello, I am using vim in my terminal but I noticed that xterm_clipboard is disabled. Can I enable it somehow without recompiling? I wonder why this isn't set by default. [22:44] and how can i install a newer or older kernel? [22:44] from CLI [22:44] aconrad: :set xterm_clipboard=on? [22:44] rahduke: there's probably a way to do it through the 'alternatives' system, but I just did 'rm -f /usr/bin/gcc && ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc' [22:44] psilynt: Did you at any point install a version of java that was not from a .deb or synaptic/apt? [22:44] Be *sure* that /usr/bin/gcc is actually a symlink before doing that command, though! [22:44] i'm having a problem updated my repository list. running apt-get update always results in "failed to fetch ..... Release.gpg" in 10.10. But i can browse the the gpg url in my browser fine.. === Greeny is now known as Guest68099 [22:45] Jordan_U: Yes... posting link. http://strug.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/installing-java-7-snapshot-on-ubuntu/ [22:45] KB1JWQ: doesn't work [22:45] rahduke: that also appears in safe gfx mode?? [22:45] dstaubsauger: yea, thats what i tried to get into now [22:45] and ijsut end up at command line [22:46] Kai696 sorry for late rep... u can force mount using sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/mountpointname -f [22:46] psilynt: Run the uninstaller for that, and in the future always install non-packaged software to either /usr/local/ or /opt/. [22:47] nightwalk: im getting permission denied errors when i try that command [22:47] running it with sudo as well [22:47] rahduke: try installing the package nvidia-glx [22:47] when u change the icon of a file or folder. Where is that information stored? [22:48] does anyone know how one would turn off the blacklight of a laptop? (laptop keys minimize the brightness but don't turn it off outright) [22:48] rahduke: that should reinstall the driver, but i have no idea whether it works [22:48] dstaubsauger: no isntallation candidate [22:48] i need to choose like the 185 driver or something [22:48] psilynt: And unless you know you need Sun's java I'd just go with icedtea / openjdk. [22:48] semitones: BIOS? It's probably hardware-specific. What make and model of laptop do you have? [22:48] rahduke: 'apt-get install linux--'. will normally be 'generic', though rt & vserver are other reasonable possibilities. Doing something like 'apt-get install linux-*' should give you an idea what's available [22:48] Jordan_U: I know I need sun's java... [22:49] rahduke: what about nvidia-kernel-common and linux-restricted-modules? which packages did you purge? [22:49] question: i am receiving this error: we're sorry, the hulu player is not supported on 64 bit versions of Flash ubuntu [22:49] psilynt: Out of curiosity, why?

[22:49] could anyone tell me: if you use simple backup suite to backup your system, can you then restore the backed up system to a fresh install? [22:49] dstaubsauger: i just chose the 180 driver, its installing now if that doesnt work ill try the common and restricted install [22:49] Diverdude: gstreamer is already installed [22:49] Jordan_U: Game I'm running has a significant performance increase between the two. [22:50] Jordan_U: and on my netbook, any tiny bit helps [22:50] semitones: you can entirely turn off any screen. read $ man xrandr [22:50] ikonia, i see, i think is installed with another name, this version [22:50] nightwalk: what shoudl i type for ? [22:50] psilynt: Once you've removed all manually installed java versions use "sudo update-alternatives --config java" to set things up to use the packaged version.

[22:52] semitones: put "xset dpms 0 0 600" in the session startup; see if that makes a difference [22:52] Jordan_U: update-alternatives --config java returns "There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java" [22:52] erUSUL, i see.... where do i find the gstreamer libs then? [22:52] semitones: you should realize that in Linux you read the manual before running any command [22:52] rahduke: give you have inet access [22:53] balr0g: I can't explain that as I didn't follow your install, but put a symlink from ruby1.9.1 to ruby and it will be fine [22:53] Diverdude: what are you trying to do ? [22:53] rahduke: *given [22:53] balr0g: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/start?redirect=1 [22:53] oly562: that won't resovle his issue, his issue is a missing smylink [22:53] rahduke: '2.6.x', where 'x' is the bugfix version you want to install. 32 seems to be the safe choice, assuming it's in the repo for the version of ubuntu you're running [22:53] rahduke: otherwise, download it on another computer and use an usb stick, etc [22:53] psilynt: What is the output of "dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java"?

[23:05] oly562: if the app is 32bit only, I'd use a 32bit browser to deal with it, [23:05] oly562: seriously though. if they made it a point to not let you use 64 bit flash, there's probably very little you can do about it, other than use a 32 bit browser & 32 bit flash [23:05] hahaha DrManhattan [23:05] ikonia: ? are you new to linux?

[23:07] anygivenname: for interest, check the syslog [23:07] does anyone know the answer? [23:07] please someone query me to see one my web project please :) [23:07] then the solution (easiest one...) is to use Chrome? [23:07] repeatthe question? [23:08] ikonia: where is syslog ? [23:08] could anyone tell me: if you use simple backup suite to backup your system, can you then restore the backed up system to a fresh install?

It's been quite some time since I messed with it, so I don't remember exactly how it works. The skype api probably handles the password requests & such itself, though. Just set your username and try it. [23:27] :P so i can export these files to another partition, then do a file system backup of the partition? [23:28] i use phpsysinfo but when i go to check Distro name says Unknown how to fix that?

[23:32] hi, the multimedia keys are working under gnome but not under fluxbox. i tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys because i thought this would set the keys "globally" or am i missing something?

[23:33] DragonKeeper, hm, that's a tough question. even would not know where to start. it think it is better to ask in #xorg [23:34] ok [23:34] Ubuntu 10.10 does not appear on my boot menu after upgrade...does anyone have any ideas please? thanks [23:34] i dont think you can though DragonKeeper [23:34] Tom1, What does appear? [23:34] I run ubuntu @ htc HD2 ().. [23:34] DragonKeeper: wine games, or linux games? [23:34] Tom1, you mean the grub menu .. yes? [23:34] the boot menu looks like it did before i upgraded to 10.10 [23:34] When I click the little envelope in the top right corner, it only says "chat" and "broadcast", why doesn't it say "mail"? [23:34] DragonKeeper, if you are out of luck there come back and try here again. usually in #xorg it takes more time until some1 responds so be patient [23:35] i see 10.04 (which doesn't work if i try to use it) and windows 7 (which still works) [23:35] anything thats fullscreen [23:35] Tom1, you are choosing the top most entry on the list yes? [23:35] yes [23:35] nothing logged....lasted is 15 mins ago [23:35] i modified menu.lst before though and didn't replace it during the upgrade [23:35] lastest is 15 mins ago [23:35] Tom1, ok and it wont boot... just it just sit there...or does text show at all ....? [23:35] is this a grub/grub2 problem? [23:36] DragonKeeper: back then you set it to Metamodes "res1 null" but i doubt it will show the desktop [23:36] the display turns off completely actually [23:36] Tom1, if there is a grub issue I have not seen it [23:36] Ilovefairuz: u there? [23:36] ikonia, oly562: nothing logged now....lastest is 15 mins ago [23:36] is there a way to purge grub and start over or something? [23:37] hi is intel gma 950 still having problems in 10.10? [23:37] lets say we restore the drive how can i get indivudual files off o f it Ikonia [23:37] ikonia, oly562: so the trials I have just done were not logged in auth.log [23:37] Tom1, well there is a way to reinstall grub2 [23:37] Tom1, let me get the link hold on [23:37] DragonKeeper: Just had to make sure the problem wasn't confined to wine, because the #xorg probably wouldn't help with that. As it is I'm going to say...what Benkinooby said :) [23:37] why did anyone MAKE grub2? [23:37] there was nothing wrong with the original grub [23:37] Tom1, http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:37] anygivenname: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config search for SyslogFacility [23:38] ok cheers for the help anyway [23:38] Tom1, if you try that..please read through it a few times to become familiar with it [23:38] ikonia, oly562: & even my fail2ban config settings were not applied....i mean with regard to 3 attempts max for example [23:38] anygivenname: make sure it is set to AUTHPRIV [23:38] it is on AUTH [23:38] anygivenname: set it to AUTHPRIV [23:38] anygivenname: /etc/ssh/sshd_config SyslogFacility=AUTHPRIV [23:38] anygivenname: restart sshd then [23:39] ok [23:39] coz_: I think I tried a procedure very similar to that already but the grub menu didn't change upon restart [23:39] is learning.... always learning lol [23:39] When I click the little envelope in the top right corner, it only says "chat" and "broadcast", why doesn't it say "mail"? [23:39] Hi all. I wanted to get my tablet to rotate the screen automatically when I rotated it, so I found some script on some forum and installed it and it did just that. Now I've decided I don't like that behavior any more, but can't remember what script I used or where I put it or how it's triggered. Silly me. Any ideas? [23:39] DrManhattan: nothing may have been wrong with grub for your uses, but there were limitations. So which is better? Pushing more advanced features that bring lots of new bugs with them onto people that don't need the extra features, or branching and allowing people to choose which to use? [23:39] Tom1, then the install may have failed at some point....did you check the cd for errors? [23:40] Tom1, afaik working on menu.lst is outdated. if you use 10.04 you sue grub2 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:40] also, if i use the live cd and act like i'm going to install 10.10 I can see a windows and an ubuntu 10.10 partition on the disk already [23:40] can anyone play this vid - http://www.hulu.com/watch/187465/sanctuary-firewall using FF 64bit? if so, can i see your configs, plugins, so forth? thanks [23:40] Anyone else get a boot hang after installing ubuntu server to an iscsi root? I get this: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9383/screenshotwrw.png [23:40] Tom1 the best thing to do is to use a live system [23:40] anygivenname: can you also show me your ssh jail config for fail2ban [23:40] a live system? [23:40] oly562: there is no config, flash either works, or doesn't [23:40] nightwalk, I would say letting people choose, but then again, I spend most of my day passing gas in front of the PC [23:40] ok [23:40] Tom1, yes it probably partitioned the drive and install ubuntu but apparenlty the install is a bit broken [23:40] where is it located ? [23:40] Can someone please help me [23:40] i have restarted ssh [23:41] anygivenname: look in /etc/fail2ban [23:41] ikonia: i dont understand.... [23:41] Tom1 like the CD you mentionen before. if ouy have the cd running you need a terminal and then use the command "chroot" [23:41] will also try while u check my fail2ban [23:41] oly562: flash on linux, especially 64bit is flakey, there isn't a config to "fix it" [23:41] Tom1, y ou can simply overwrite the current install with a fesh install BUT when you boot into the live cd...you sould see a keyboard logo at the bottom of the screen.. when you see that,,hit enter to get to a menu ...there you want to check the cd for errors or check file system however it is worded [23:41] ikonia: i guess im asking for how they set it up to work.... paths symbolic links, so forth... thats what i mean [23:41] oly562: paths/symlinks won't matter [23:42] Benkinooby: I tried doing that, but the menu didn't change [23:42] ikonia: i have gotten it to work flawlessly, however, not with Hula vids, as I have repeated umpteen times now [23:42] ikonia: hmmm. interesting view [23:42] oly562: it either works or it doesn't, it's a poor situation, but it's how it is [23:42] coz_: okay, i will double-check the disk for errors thank you [23:42] oly562: yes, and it either works or doesn't, it works with some stuff, not with others, === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [23:42] is there a way to just "flash" grub2 completely and make it forget whatever menu.lst stuff I was using previously? [23:42] ikonia: i understand, but if we stop trying to make things work we will not be better than windoze users [23:42] Tom1 did you try this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 also you need to run someting like grub-update or something to generate the new grub2 settings [23:42] Tom1, if it has errors let someone here know... if I am not here there are many who can tell you how to check the iso image when you re download it before you burn it [23:43] oly562: there is nothing to configure, it's a closed source app - you can't change anything [23:43] ikonia: i have gotten things to work no matter how hard or unreasonable it seemed [23:43] its hulu that doesn't bother with playing nice [23:43] is there any library/application that can write rtsp video strem on hdd ? [23:43] ikonia: i understand the hurdles [23:43] I have a really basic question [23:43] Tom1, then of course you want to run that check file integrity option before you install it [23:43] oly562: a.) 64bit flash is dead/not supported b.) its closed sourced compiled app - you can't change anything [23:43] Tom1 what you need is update-grub2 [23:43] jail ==> http://paste.ubuntu.com/519434/ [23:43] ikonia: i guess i am asking for the link to the howto, that no one has or is responding to at the moment, i better go search more on the net, i usually find what im looking for, but i did want to hear some input, thanks [23:44] ikonia: got it, thanks [23:44] earthshade: but without remembering what that script or app you ran, we might need more info [23:44] Benkinooby: use that during the chroot process? [23:44] anygivenname: it's set to 6 attempts, [23:44] hi [23:44] she_dyed: What do you mean? I just rebooted and its gone... Im kinda a noon at ubuntu [23:45] anygivenname: you have two entries the same [23:45] anygivenname: get rid of the first set [23:45] oly562: as others have said, flash is flaky on linux. Best solution I've found so far is to just use a downloader plugin and play the media in a normal media player app. [23:45] *noob [23:45] boob [23:45] toop [23:45] Lola [23:45] hello [23:45] Z [23:45] nightwalk: as i have said, its not flaky for me, mileage may vary [23:45] reboot [23:45] coz_: I am checking the disk for errors now [23:45] she_dyed: Any ideas? [23:46] nothing....latest is jail that i edited for u.......Oct 25 00:42:41 yassero sudo: yassero : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/yassero ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/gedit /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf [23:46] oly562: it can depend on anything as simple as hardware, and the site that wraps it, your experience will vary dependingo n many many things, the sad thing is, nothing can be changed [23:46] oly562: my point was, downloader plugins *always* works. The same can't be said for flash [23:46] Tom1 yes, while you are chrooted in. if you chroot to you system on the hhd away from the live system, you can work like it would be your normal system that booted. so the all the commands as they say. please try to understand what you are doing and do nto follow the tutorials blindly [23:46] how might one compare fail2ban and denyhosts ? [23:46] anygivenname: you have 2 ssh anteis, one for ssh and one for sshd-iptables [23:46] hhd =hdd [23:46] earthshade: sorry i had it mixed up [23:47] anygivenname: get rid of the sshd entry, and leave sshd-iptables [23:47] i need to rebuild a dell mini9 netbook, and don't have a USB stick handy. just checking: will i run into trouble if i use the normal USB-stick method to boot from an old-ish USB hard drive? [23:47] nightwalk: ok [23:47] ok [23:47] hi [23:47] she_dyed: Oh ok === farmer|alchemist is now known as stringtheory [23:47] anygivenname: then restart fail2ban [23:47] Benkinooby: okay, i used a tutorial to install grub2 previously, but i don't think it included an update command [23:47] anygivenname: you may want to change maxretry down to 3 [23:47] coz_: no errors were found on the installation disk...so hopefully the installation isn't the problem? [23:48] so i delete ssh & all its lines below it [23:48] earthshade: what window manager BTW [23:48] Tom1: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide will rewrite the grub.cfg in the "grub-mkconfig" step. [23:48] she_dyed: ? [23:48] Tom1, which video card is on the system? [23:48] ssh and 6 lines bellow it [23:48] so are you guys saying 64bit flash doesnt work well on firefox 64bit? furthermore, why does it work fine for me? i have flash-installer used, but i used a binary from the net, not from repo [23:48] earthshade: gnome? [23:48] she_dyed: Ubuntu? [23:48] Oh [23:48] Idk [23:48] it's an ati card [23:48] oly562: it doensn't work fine for you, you can't view a sites videos [23:48] mm [23:48] How do I disable the firewall? [23:48] Tom1, then I am puzzled for sure [23:48] Lol i downloaded ubuntu 3 days ago she_dyed [23:49] I delete ssh section with all its lines [23:49] anygivenname: leave [sshd-iptables [23:49] anygivenname: and anything bellow it [23:49] Tom1 if you did not do the update command all you changes to grub2 will not be used. gain, follow grub2 and not grub. so the menu.lst is nothing of interest anymore [23:49] earthshade, :) How great is it? [23:49] coz_: is it logical to think both operation systems are still there? just not being accessed correctly? [23:49] . [23:49] ikonia: i cant see only hula vids, or wasnt i clear enough ;) [23:49] Tom1: Your original problem is that you tried to edit entires in the menu.lst directly, but that's not allowed and will break update-grub (with grub legacy). The only things you can change in grub legacy are the settings / entries outside the "Autmagic kernel list" area. [23:49] oly562: yes, that's not working flawless [23:50] I delete those [23:50] [ssh] [23:50] enabled = true [23:50] port = ssh [23:50] its flawless enough for 99% of the time... [23:50] filter = sshd [23:50] anygivenname: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:50] logpath = /var/log/auth.log [23:50] oly562: 64 bit firefox sometimes doesn't work well with flash, and sometimes doesn't work well with java. The problems change by the version. chrome seems to have a nice track record with flash on this end, though [23:50] oly562: as you've been told, flash is flakey, some stuff will work, others will not [23:50] oly562: then your in a lucky position, however you just have to accept that %1 [23:50] nightwalk: not an issue for me, just with hula vids [23:50] Jordan_u: okay, so what would you recommend at this point (can i just bag the old grub entirely?) [23:50] Tom1 yes [23:50] ikonia: flash works great for me except with hula vids [23:50] Tom1: With grub2 the distinction is made more clear, settings you are supposed to change go in /etc/default/grub and you simply don't modify the grub.cfg manually. [23:50] oly562: you've said, and I'm explaining, it's buggy and won't work with all stuff, it's just a bad fact of flash [23:50] or just {ssh} [23:50] ikonia: yep, and it wasnt luck, it was researching and implementation [23:51] Tom1: I would recommend you follow this guide (which will upgrade you to grub2): http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [23:51] oly562: that's just nonsense as you can't configure flash [23:51] ikonia: i like flash, and if i really want to watch something, i just download and run it locally [23:51] okay, thank you all for your help [23:51] Does anybody know if Sky internet is unavailable tonight? [23:51] ikonia: I remove the 4 lines below {ssh} ? [23:51] anygivenname: perfect [23:51] i will try it on the broken machine now [23:51] anygivenname: change the maxretry to 3 [23:51] ikonia: i never said i can configure the source, but i did download rewritten bin's that work fine, and are not flaky, except for hula vids [23:51] anygivenname: restart fail2ban [23:52] i have never used fail2ban,,, whats that do? [23:52] oly562: re-written bins, what ???? it's closed source, they can't be re-written [23:52] ikonia: you dont know everything ok [23:52] oly562: it's just an automation script set for iptables to ban abusing hosts [23:52] you just dont [23:52] oly562: you talk nosense [23:52] oly562: flash is closed source and can't be re-written as adobe hold the source code [23:52] i dont care how i said or what matters to you, just that i know flash works fine except for hula vids [23:53] i use phpsysinfo but when i go to check Distro name says Unknown how to fix that? [23:53] i use phpsysinfo but when i go to check Distro name says Unknown how to fix that? [23:53] how to fix the distro name please? [23:53] http://www.agsaserv1.com/index.php?disp=static [23:53] donvitoo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:53] oly562: yes, as it does for me, flash works fine for me [23:53] thats nice, but flash works fine for me except hula vids [23:53] oly562: however those hula videos are just a said fact that they probably don't and won't work for you going forward [23:53] ikonia: it is already set to 3 under iptables....or did u mean I should leave the ssh lines as is & set it to 3 in there aswell ? [23:53] my flash player locally aslo works for hula vids i download [23:53] ikonia: oly562 might be confusing swfdec & gnash for actual bona-fide flash releases [23:53] ok gius [23:53] guys [23:53] oly562: however as you've explained your running modified flash binaries we can't support you any more [23:53] if i have only "linux" and "linux swap" partitions visible i don't have a separate /boot partition right? [23:53] ikonia: i think someone will figure out the work around,,, unfortunately i havent found it yet [23:53] im getting "No Root Device Found" when i try to pxeboot my ubuntu kernel [23:54] i used dracut to fix ehte kernel [23:54] ikonia: its not a matter of support or contracts, its a matter of do you know the work around, yes or no. [23:54] oly562: well, that's nothing to do with this channel, as they are you modified binaries, good luck with them, but please don't ask for support on them in here [23:54] [10.10] How do i return network manager icon to gnome panel? [23:54] oly562: we will not discuss/support your modified binaries of flash, please don't ask [23:54] ikonia: it is already set to 3 under iptables....or did u mean I should leave the ssh lines as is & set it to 3 in ssh aswell ? [23:54] anygivenname: so it is, my mistake [23:54] anygivenname: leave it as is, sorry [23:55] temoto: I think you just run nm-applet [23:55] ikonia: i am confused [23:55] sorry [23:55] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMouse - what do I need to add to the page? just sign up at the wiki and add a line? [23:55] anygivenname: sorry, I've confused you [23:55] HP throws a error [23:55] Level : 2 Message : parse_ini_file(/usr/share/phpsysinfo/data/distros.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory File : /usr/share/phpsysinfo/includes/os/class.Linux.inc.php Line : 494 [23:55] anygivenname: delete the lines [ssh] and entries under it, until you get to [ssh-iptables] then leave that there [23:55] ikonia: so all what i do in jail....is set maxtrials to 3 in ssh [23:56] anygivenname: no [23:56] anygivenname: you need to delete those lines [23:56] anygivenname: delete [ssh] and 5 options under it [23:56] ok [23:56] so the first jail should be [ssh-iptables] [23:56] done [23:56] anygivenname: restart fail2ban and lets see [23:56] how do I restart it ? [23:56] nightwalk, when i run nm-applet in console, it prints "** Message: applet now removed from the notification area" [23:57] i plugged in logitech g15 into my laptop once, and ever since half of the keys are fscked up and type gibberish, what could be wrong? [23:57] anygivenname: it's just a service like ssh, service fail2ban restart [23:57] or is it so ==> ps auxw | grep -i fail2ban ? [23:58] anygivenname: that won't stop/start it [23:58] service fail2ban restart [23:58] hi im having problems during installation, it already hangs 5 mins after clicking forward and nothing loads, no terminal output eiter [23:58] * Restarting authentication failure monitor fail2ban * Socket file /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock is present [23:58] [fail [23:58] temoto: try googling that error [23:58] anygivenname: didi you use sudo ?
