[00:00] I recently noticed that my server had more processes running than normal so I did 'ps ax' and noticed that I have probably 100-150 pop3-login processes running... there are only like 20 users that have access to email on that box and only about 10 of those users use the email. How do I get rid of the processes? I did a 'killall -I pop3-login' but within ms they return, and show up as a 'new auth connection' in the syslog [00:00] Will Gnome 3 be available in Maverick Meerkat?

The proxy is working for Firefox with Foxyproxy extension. [00:03] sorry, typed that out of my readline [00:03] pr9xy: I would assume it'll be in once it's stable, isn't it slated for release in april or something? [00:03] Gnome 3 should be out in april 2011, just in time for Natty Narwhal. I answered my own question :P [00:03] gnome shell is going to be what gnome 3 will be. It can be installed through a ppa or git repository [00:04] Hi, anyone could help me on "make" command? [00:04] try ./make [00:04] ok.

I'm completely new to Linux/Ubuntu and I'm not sure how to turn them offf [00:10] metap0d, are you admin?

[00:12] mbeierl: try a different app [00:12] pr0xy: As far as I know I am the admin ... whenever I do anything that requires sudo I have the password [00:12] pvl1, any one in specific? [00:12] ActionParsnip: which one? [00:12] pvl1: I'd like to turn both off and no it's a wireless desktopp [00:12] Olytibar: try mencoder or mplayer (i believe they can show details) [00:12] !rip [00:12] For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [00:12] i zero'd a drive then parted and formatted it with mkfs.ntfs, it was being reconized though, so i tried parting and formatting with a variety of windows disc utils, and now it locks up my linux and windows systems if i plug it in (its a external usb) any ideas???? [00:12] Olytibar: check out mplayer's options, I think it has one that does that. [00:12] goltoof, syslog first, messages, kernel maybe [00:12] its wasnt being reconized*** [00:12] mbeierl: soundjuicer looks ok [00:12] metap0d, well you can enable an autologin if you like, that sonly for the first login screen [00:13] ok. what kind of computer do you have metap0d? [00:13] pvl1, hmm.. guess it's about time to learn myself what logs do what [00:13] pvl1: Oh I like being prompted for my user password when I login to Gnome ... but it prompts me for 2 separate keyrings after I login and those are what i'd like to disable [00:13] because it says its mounted, but wont umount [00:13] pr0xy: Just a standard desktop connected wirelessly [00:13] goltoof, eh nto really, i just look at syslog msot of the time or search them all and take searh for what i need with keywords === ubuntu is now known as acovrig [00:14] metap0d, oh ok so its the 2 keyrings you would like to disable [00:14] ActionParsnip: btw, it's not the encoding, it's the reading from the cd that's really slow... [00:14] hola a todos [00:14] metap0d, I need to help with dinner, pvll can help. [00:14] alguien para charlar [00:14] pvl1: Yep .. I am 99% sure one of them is for my wireless connection ... the other one I have no idea. [00:14] pvl1, where is syslog? [00:14] mbeierl: then try using hdparm to enable dma if its disabled [00:15] !es | utopia [00:15] utopia: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:15] anyone could tell me the make command of this git clone? [00:15] metap0d: I can help you...cuz I now why ...and how to remove :-) [00:15] git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/compiz/plugins/atlantis [00:15] ActionParsnip: sorry - it's not the drive speed that's slow, it's the paranoia or something.... [00:15] anyone on ubuntu have or don't have trouble browsing the AdSense control panel with FireFox? all i get is a blank page [00:15] pvl1: I managed to find a "Passwords and Encryption Keys" dialog but I don't want to edit/delete anything without being sure ... and I couldn't find an accurate google answer [00:15] goltoof, /var/log try something like cat /var/log/* | grep KEYWORD [00:15] ActionParsnip: used to be able to turn off all the skips protection/etc. [00:15] thanks [00:15] mbeierl: then use a lower paranoia setting [00:15] i zero'd a drive then parted and formatted it with mkfs.ntfs, it wasn't being reconized though, so i tried parting and formatting with a variety of windows disc utils, and now it locks up my linux and windows systems if i plug it in (its a external usb) any ideas???? [00:15] coraxx: Oh? Please share : ) [00:16] ActionParsnip: that's the thing that I'm searching for. don't know how to find it in rhythmbox or soundjuicer [00:16] metap0d: you need to remove "Default" ... and _KEEP_ "login" ...after that, you have to right click on login, as choose it as the default. [00:16] metap0d, Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys [00:17] mbeierl: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1099289 [00:17] metap0d: restart ...and it should be fixed: you might have to re-insert you wireless once more...but that should do it [00:17] I'm having a weird problem -- rebooting doesn't seem to reset gdm properly [00:17] anyone on ubuntu with adsense ads running with probs under firefox in CP? [00:17] ActionParsnip: of course! gconf-editor! why didn't I think of that ;) [00:17] ActionParsnip: thanks!! [00:17] mbeierl: np bro [00:17] coraxx: Ok I'll restart and give it a go [00:18] like, any settings that I create don't take effect unless I use the service gdm restart command even after rebooting the system [00:18] pvl1: Thanks I'm there I'll brb! [00:18] any idea what bkl-orbiter, bkl-investigator would be used for? [00:18] metap0d: ok...see you it a bit then [00:18] i know what it is, but what is it used for and how do i get rid of it? [00:18] no man entries, or any info on how to remove bkl-orbiter/bkl-investigator [00:18] i cant kill transmission, what should i do? [00:19] goltoof, why do u think its anything to do with bkl [00:19] Sean931: run: ps -ef | grep trans you can kill the PID [00:19] In gconf>desktop>gnome>session>required_components_list, if I put gnome-do, and/or docky, will that cause it to reload if it closes? [00:20] pvl1, separate question.. but bkl- got appeared on my system after installing wacom tablet drivers, which is when the mouse bug showed up [00:20] goltoof: looks like it has something to do with watching the FS for changes. I just googled it. [00:21] ActionParsnip: still doesnt kill [00:21] goltoof, oh ok jw [00:21] Sean931: then use: kill -9 PID [00:21] MagusOTB, not installed by default, i'd like to remove it but it might break something else [00:21] ActionParsnip: i did [00:21] Sean931: is the process owned by your user? [00:21] MagusOTB, tried sudo apt-get remove bkl-orbiter ... can't figure out command to get rid of it [00:21] goltoof: try dpkg -S bkl-orbiter [00:22] ActionParsnip: how do i check? [00:22] it'll tell you what package it belongs to [00:22] Sean931: you're entering the PID and not just typing "PID" after the kill command, are you? [00:22] Sean931: the output of the command will state the user on the left [00:22] hi guys, im trying to upgrade a real old ubuntu server dist (6.10) and I encounter this error while trying to install libdevmapper: mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/.static/dev/mapper': Read-only file system. Any suggestion welcome :) [00:22] how can I explicitly set the Frequency Scaling Governors? [00:22] yes im the user [00:22] and yes im usid the PID [00:23] T0aD: are you upgrading to 10.10? [00:23] MagusOTB, yes, i see but what to do with this information? :) [00:23] Sean931: then -9 should definately kill it good, -9 is the biggest hammer [00:23] Reverend_Ruff, heu from 6.10 to 7.04 in a first step :) === james is now known as Guest98064 [00:23] Is there a script or something I could use to get ubuntu to have a "reminder" on the desktop? [00:23] If you really want to get rid of it, apt-get removing the package that it says its a part of will get rid of it. [00:23] tortoise, screenlets? [00:23] ActionParsnip: i've tried it doesn't kill it [00:23] although I'm not sure what problems getting rid of it will solve, I'm kind of jumping in mid conversation [00:24] hi guys :) How can I give one user to have all privileges over other users files? [00:24] coraxx: Thanks a lot that did the trick : D [00:24] goltoof: what is that? [00:24] is there a tut for that === blAze is now known as Guest23584 [00:24] Sean931: try: sudo kill -9 transmission ,should do it [00:24] metap0d: yup, I thought so ;-) you're welcome [00:24] Gobi: add them to the sudoers file. [00:24] ActionParsnip: you mean killall? [00:24] MagusOTB: yeah, do'h [00:25] MagusOTB, i think it has to do with the wacom drivers i installed, which probably use it to keep it up to date? all i know is it installed when i installed the drivers, i want to reinstall wacom anyway, so.. [00:25] Sean931: MagusOTB: sudo killall -9 transmission [00:25] metap0d: it usually occurs when you install Ubuntu ...and you choose to start up "live" first ...then connect to a wireless network...and then begin the installation. [00:25] <[daemon]> eek [00:25] Reverend_Ruff: Otherwise it would be ok, but I don't want to every time hit the password.. [00:25] goltoof: how did you install them? [00:25] tortoise, Applications > Accessories > Screenlets [00:25] goltoof: nevermind I got it. But I was wondering if there was a way I could do it via terminal [00:26] its still running [00:26] tortoise, i assume you're looking for some kind of sticky reminder app for your desktop.. screenlets has stuff like that [00:26] Sean931: have you tried xkill? [00:26] there is no window [00:26] Gobi: just enter them into the sudoer's file with "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" [00:27] Reverend_Ruff: Oh, thx. Ill try that out :) [00:27] pvl1: thanks again, that works perfectly... rsync is amazing [00:27] Sean931: oh. killall -s 9 transmission doesn't do it? [00:27] nope [00:27] MagusOTB, need to backtrack.. there are different ways people go about setting up wacoms [00:27] Sean931: can you give the output of: ps -ef | grep -i trans use http://pastie.org to give the output [00:27] Gobi: or you can just add them to group "wheel" and then just uncomment the appropriate wheel line (with or without passwd). Then you can just add/remove people from that group. [00:27] x0rs, im not a fan of it === nozzlin|bnc is now known as nozzlin|aw [00:28] goltoof: yeah, and I've never used one, so it just apt-get removing whatever you used to install them then apt-get autoremove not doing it? [00:28] pvl1: really? for uploading files to my webserver it's instantaneous [00:28] x0rs, unsecure, but i guess for that purpose it wouldnt matter, in most cases [00:28] where can I find a torrent of Ubuntu 10.10 UNR? [00:29] http://pastie.org/1248774 [00:29] pvl1: yeah, I am just using it to sync my local files to my web-server for quick updates to my page [00:29] Everytime I download it from site and go to install it fails to install the Unity GUI [00:29] Reverend_Ruff: Gobi: By doing this you absolutely cripple the security in your OS [00:29] pvl1: isn't it relatively easy to run it through a secure pipe? [00:29] Is there a default shortcut for Ubuntu 10.10/Gnome to launch a terminal window?? I've tried googling this and all I find are methods to move between virtual consoles [00:29] default keyboard shortcut* [00:29] metap0d: CTRL+ALT+T [00:29] please? [00:29] The downlaod si slow fromt he main site [00:29] MagusOTB, with stunnel or with an encrypted port forward, or openvpn, there are a few ways [00:29] ActionParsnip: Awesomee : ) [00:29] MagusOTB, bkl-orbiter i think triggers bkl-investigator.. which occasionally eats up tons of cpu [00:30] x0rs, hm, for that purpose yaehi can see it being wonderful [00:30] metap0d: or install guake or tilda (Gnome) or Yakuake (KDE) to get a quake like terminal drop down [00:30] MagusOTB, sudo apt-get remove works on neither [00:30] !download | MonthOLDpickle [00:30] MonthOLDpickle: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [00:30] ActionParsnip: He asked to give a user privileges over all other users - I took that to mean he was aware of the risks. [00:30] guake is really nice, in my opinion, but I usually just use CTRL+ALT+T as a terminal keyboard shortcut. [00:30] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1248774 [00:31] goltoof: yeah, you want to dpkg -S `which bkl-investigator`, it'll tell you what package its part of, then you can apt-get remove that. [00:31] goltoof: but it's probably a better idea to remove whatever installed it as a dep and then apt-get autoremove. [00:31] MagusOTB, it also indexes thumbnails, just like ~/.thumbnails ... i really don't think need this extra service [00:31] Sean931: so I'm guessing you were running: kill -9 2387 [00:31] yes [00:32] Sean931: seems its not killable and you must kill the parent process [00:32] libbickley-0.4-0: /usr/lib/bickley/bkl-investigator [00:32] Sean931: technically its already dead [00:32] goltoof: regardless, most things don't like it when you rip dependencies out from under them. I'd suggest disabling whatever it does in whatever package installed it. I don't know how to display deptrees with apt, but I bet somebody in here does. [00:33] ActionParsnip: what is the parent process? [00:33] Sean931: ps -ef | grep defunct | awk '{print "kill -9 ",$3}' try that [00:33] goltoof: so apt-get remove libbickley will get rid of it. [00:33] goltoof: if that's what you want to do [00:33] ActionParsnip has no love for stubborn processes it would seem. = / lol [00:34] Reverend_Ruff: they suck, zombies getting in the way [00:34] You gotta shoot 'em in the head. [00:34] MagusOTB, sudo apt-get remove libbickley does not compute [00:35] Sean931: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/suse-novell-60/howto-kill-defunct-processes-574612/ [00:35] i getkill -9 1 [00:35] kill -9 5062 [00:35] Sean931: shows how to find the parent, kill the parent and the zombie will die [00:35] kill -9 1?? that's a bad idea... [00:35] lol [00:35] I almost want to try it just to see what will happen. [00:36] ugh.... it's doing it again now!! as i helplessly type in the window i was already in unable to click freely [00:36] How can I disable joins quit shits on xchat-gnome shit ! (shit...) [00:36] Sean931: if its parent is 1 then you're going to have to reboot [00:36] anyone have any idea when i dual monitor i can only mirror, not dual and i get lines when i do?

I've been sitting at 99.99% now for 30 mins when it only took 15 or so to get to that point. [01:29] neone know why my network shares stops and then starts working again, sometimes asking me for passwords [01:29] actually i had that wrong..My computer installed installed ubuntu but didnt give me a choose os screen after reboot any ideas? [01:29] ChogyDan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/519946/ [01:30] installed- [01:30] md5? [01:30] Can someone please help me with why Wubi always gives an error at 99-100% that says it couldn't retrieve the installation files? [01:30] gartral: you sure that module is necessary? cant just find some software? :) /ignorance [01:30] what is the wine channel? [01:31] when i type !md5 in the console not found [01:31] Sean93: i think it's #wine, but i think i'm wrong [01:31] dw-: quite sure; disk scans see the errors, but report something along the lines "Misaligned Headers, can't locate blahblahblah.ko" [01:31] boysen, did you click the link that ubottu sent you? [01:31] anyway, I'm downloading the updated version of the second life viewer [01:31] dw-: that's been happening since before the drive was going [01:32] I also notice that pyrun seems to have a big problem at start with error dialogs saying drive not available or something, it probably gives me 15-20 of them "right off the bat". I just keep clicking the mouse and the installer pops up shortly. [01:32] whatis cd5? [01:32] what is cd5 [01:32] the program cd5 not installed [01:33] package cd5 from universe [01:33] hmm [01:33] boysen, you're not paying attention- if you need help pay attention to seidos [01:33] cd5 sounds like a command-line utility for reading or writing a cd. [01:33] gartral: youre sort of like kramer in that seinfeld episode where he drives a demo car to E.. man buy a HD. that sucks [01:33] Hey [01:33] I have a question [01:33] I need a different IRC client [01:33] I try to figure why 'update-grub' is not updating 'grub.cfg' file [01:34] HaPK_PerCar: have you checked the permissions of the cited files? [01:34] sudo apt-get install cd5 [01:34] Im not really liking xchat or konversation that much [01:34] ChogyDan, no... [01:34] Any suggestions? [01:34] AnonJLH, irssi, xchat? [01:34] AnonJLH: pidgin [01:34] is there a way to make ubiquity use a non-512B sector format? [01:34] ChogyDan, but anyway, that's an outdated version of the client [01:34] ChogyDan, got the recent one and it works fine [01:35] I don't want a terminal-based IRC client either [01:35] ChogyDan, thanks anyway [01:35] gartral: wish i had more advice g/l i dont envy ya :p [01:35] np [01:35] It must be a GUI IRC client [01:35] any ubuntu one users here? trying to use rhythmbox and it loads fireefox to login? [01:35] xiven, sudo apt-cache search cd5 says it's a checksum checker for tracks on a cd or something [01:35] dw-: that's not very high on my list of priorities.. food befer hardware [01:35] gartral: dont lose the vidso f your ex... ;) [01:36] AnonJLH: pidgin can do IRC, xchat is an IRC client, there are more [01:36] AnonJLH, xchat, empathy. i haven't tried pidgin. i prefer xchat. [01:36] Can someone point me to a GUI IRC client for ubuntu?

[01:37] !caps | AnonJLH [01:37] AnonJLH: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:37] AnonJLH add an irc account to empathy chat. [01:37] AnonJLH: perhaps you should state what you do/dont want in your request [01:37] weird question, but if i want to unpack an iso and add some stuff before burning, just mount the iso and burn a new data cd? [01:37] i actually thought empathy was pretty nice when i used maverick for a bit [01:38] pidgin ftw [01:38] no, you have to chroot it first... then add your data [01:38] ftw ftf [01:38] I don't want xchat, konversation, or empathy. I also don't want any browser-based clients or terminal-based client. I want a nice GUI IRC client... [01:38] ??? [01:38] lol [01:39] AnonJLH: why not terminal-based? it's a text-only protocol.. [01:39] hi there, can anyone tell me how to prevent php from sending mails from www-data@domain.com ? [01:39] NO TERMINAL [01:39] xchat, empathy, pidgin are ALL GUI IRC clients [01:39] AnonJLH, mirc in wine? :) [01:39] UnholyTerror, for me? so mount then chroot?? even if it's just a cd? [01:39] AnonJLH,Do you want jam on it too? === dtcummin is now known as dtcummin_away [01:39] AnonJLH: Kvirc [01:39] use finch it has an amazing gui [01:39] WINE is giving me problems [01:39] AnonJLH: no need to use caps again, and you didn't answer the question [01:39] how do i change the default jre from openjdk to sun-java6-jdk? I have already installed sun-java6-jdk [01:39] AnonJLH has some crazy terminal fear [01:39] mirc is a HORRID irc client [01:39] I second Gumpy [01:40] AnonJLH: kvirc is very good, check the screenshots [01:40] mirc is irc as ubuntu is for linux... easy for beginners [01:40] google it... you have to enter the iso as a filesystem, make your changes, then burn. [01:40] cool thanks UnholyTerror [01:40] and like ubuntu it keeps you from stabbing your eyes out ;) [01:40] can someone tell me how to prevent php from sending from www-data@domain.com? [01:40] how do i change the default jre from openjdk to sun-java6-jdk? I have already installed sun-java6-jdk [01:40] anytthing that keeps u from stabbign eyes out is pretty coo [01:40] !repeat | sakekasi xcalibur [01:40] sakekasi xcalibur: 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/ [01:40] ew... the empathy client is kinda weird on irc... [01:40] you can run updates and everything as if the iso is your current filesystem. [01:41] xchat is so different [01:41] I saw... Empathy is a "no" [01:41] I wouldn't call pidgin much of an IRC client, it's not much more then a window with the three essential text areas. [01:41] Checking pidgin [01:41] AnonJLH, what is the problem? [01:41] http://www.kvirc.net/ [01:41] pidgin's irc is the same as empathy [01:41] nothing to look at [01:42] Probably because Empathy is based on Pidgin [01:42] Nevermibd then [01:42] AnonJLH: what are your requirements for your IRC client besides GUI? [01:42] No to pidgin as well [01:42] AnonJLH, there's a list of irc clients here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [01:42] i'm noticing that when I remove a program through the ubuntu software center, it is leaving behind litter in places like /etc.. is there a way I can remove software that does not leave behind all this annoying litter!! [01:42] AnonJLH: picky picky picky [01:42] I don't want xchat, konversation, or empathy. I also don't want any browser-based clients or terminal-based client. I want a nice GUI IRC client... Also, no pidgin [01:42] rudy__: aptitude purge pkgname [01:42] has anyone ever experience DNS lookup via IPv6 even with ipv6 is configured on your machine [01:42] for example i removed ardour2 but ardour -related folders are still found randomly everwhere [01:42] AnonJLH: why not pidgin? [01:43] I wouldn't mind the ability to skin or theme pidgin aside of the gtk/gnome theming system. [01:43] AnonJLH: theres alwasy flash =) [01:43] AnonJLH: many suggestions have been made already, i think you're too picky [01:43] how dO i find out the package name [01:43] AnonJLH: you've been given multiple GUI clients. what do you need in your client that the ones posted do not have? [01:43] Out_Cold, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [01:43] Im basing it off of what others have said [01:43] AnonJLH, just check out that list for yourself. you can install the packages and see which one you like [01:43] so 10.10 is all messed up ? Noticed that when i edit network files it zeros them out it will let me read them no problem but when i hit save it zeros out the file. and the ~ backup [01:43] Everyone seems to be complaining about the ones given [01:43] AnonJLH: You might give HydraIRC a try, I believe it runs on Linux. It's much better then pidgin's bare effort. [01:43] thanks UnholyTerror was just looking for that [01:43] thanks [01:44] AnonJLH: ah, well you best try them out yourself. its only a few clicks or command like words away [01:44] Linux or ubuntu? There are core differences [01:44] lots of ppl hate Ubunut too. yet, you are here [01:44] Ubuntu [01:44] Lol [01:44] Okay [01:44] ahhh UnholyTerror but this is for a live cd... i wonder if i'm not loading a live environment if it follows the same standards [01:44] try em out, see what suits you [01:44] AnonJLH,weechat is cool :D [01:45] I've checked out weechat [01:45] Almost what in looking for [01:45] ??? [01:45] isnt weechat command line? [01:45] +1 weechat [01:46] Dammit [01:46] spams "no terminal" in all caps and then says weechat is almost what he wants [01:46] yep [01:46] lol [01:46] Out_Cold, what? [01:46] AnonJLH: dont phear the command line [01:46] embrace it [01:46] it is your frned [01:46] friend [01:46] this is driving me insane.. i need to delete like 3/4's of these files because I straight don't use the software!! @_@ [01:46] and there is so much litter!

[01:52] furi: i'm not familiar with it, i use irssi [01:52] dominicdinada should I use sudo to run that command as root? [01:52] Is 10.10 a version of the client? [01:52] rudy__: i do :/ [01:52] blakkheim: alright. i'll just give irssi another go. [01:53] blakkheim: it'd be useful to have a notification area icon, however [01:53] I'm trying to install the driver for my Ethernet chipset from the driver's source, but I can't follow the instructions correctly... something about not having configured the main linux headers and a missing autoconf.h...

[02:00] why can parted read my disk normally, but the installer can't? [02:00] because parted reads from someplace else [02:01] elf 32bit executable [02:01] sympt0m: then it's just a binary [02:01] how do i install that file?

[02:04] seriously can someone tell me why wubi just says 'permission denied' after extract, and alternatively burning installation media to disc gives me squashfs mount errors at boot? can't get any install method to work [02:05] furi: if you only have one screen session open, just -r will work, but if you have multiple then you need the session number which you can get from "screen -ls" [02:05] xangua, that fixed my bottom panel, but i lost my icons in the top panel :/ [02:05] not too big of a deal for me to reconstruct [02:05] thanks for the help [02:06] what is a good free download manager for google chrome on ubuntu?

[02:09] blakkheim: sorry [02:09] furi: while you have screen open with irssi in your virtual console, open a terminal in your X session and run "screen -x" [02:09] blakkheim: when i do that, it simply restarts that screen [02:09] furi: and it will take you to the same one [02:10] blakkheim: now it's saying there's none to be attached [02:10] furi: does "screen -ls" list any? [02:10] blakkheim: so, i go into a fallback terminal and press ctrl+a+d. it restarts that terminal and i log back in. then i press ctrl+alt+F7 to return to X. i then open a terminal and put down screen -x, which returns what i said.

[02:24] ikonia, [02:24] archive? [02:24] fglrx is the name of the closed-source, proprietary driver from AMD/ATI. It conflicts with the open-source "radeon" driver. If the "fglrx" kernel module is loaded at boot, X will be able to start using the "radeon" driver but "Direct Rendering" (DRI) will be disabled. This results in a severe performance reduction. Use System->Administration->Hardware Drivers to make sure "ATI accelerated graphics driver" is not in use.

[02:25] frank__: was it detected, any indicator lights, does dmesg/lshw/lsusb show the make and model [02:25] it's built in, so no lights [02:26] Sean93: chmod a+x would set the executable bit for "all", where all=user, group and other [02:26] d3drocks: sudo apt-get install wine [02:26] Reading package lists...

[02:27] starn: you might need to install it fresh into wine unfortunately. thats the only way ive ever gotten around problems like that [02:28] UnholyTerror: lol, even windows boots faster [02:28] frank__: and there's no extra entry like /dev/vide0 and video1 (usually graphics card is the first) [02:28] drop antivirus [02:28] starn: make sure you use pastebin to post multiple lines of text [02:29] UnholyTerror: does 10.10 even install an antivirus by default?

[02:31] press alt f2 during boot [02:31] UnholyTerror: wouldn't that just be the same information i can find in dmesg? [02:31] duh!:) [02:32] why is it ubuntu won't let me set programs to be executable? everytime i click to allow it unchecks it self [02:32] UnholyTerror: then i can read that info now and save about 20 minutes' worth of work :) [02:32] UnholyTerror: I also installed bootchart, so i can share pictures if you want to see 'em [02:32] I can't find Chatzilla in my list of applications.

[02:47] blakkheim: I have, but my boot times used to be pretty awesome [02:47] oh oh could my issue be due to fact of me not logging back into windows since i installed ubuntu?!

[02:50] alguem fala portugues aki [02:50] Gryllida: synaptic is just a gui [02:50] how can we handle that? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:50] I'm using this (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-2.html) little howto for a dns server, and they're saying that I should be able to telnet 127.0.0.1 and get my own machine, but I dont' think it's working like it should. [02:50] Gryllida: it uses the debian package manager, apt [02:50] It gives me the message telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused. [02:50] And when I try to ssh it, it works, but it requires a root password which I don't know. [02:51] that is, when I sudo ssh 127.0.0.1 [02:51] blakkheim, it doesn't answer my question, I do know it's the gui for apt [02:51] Gryllida: your question was "is synaptic the default package manager [..]" and it's not a package manager at all [02:51] In a pinch, you could use sudo to set a root password. [02:51] hello? [02:51] testing irssi [02:52] i am in the #ubuntu channel, correct? [02:52] furi: yes [02:52] blakkheim: i love this already [02:52] yes furi [02:52] MechanicalYeti: was that directed to me? [02:53] Yeah, sorry, should've specified. [02:53] MechanicalYeti: That's alright, but how do I do that? Because it's asking for a root@127.0.0.1's password? [02:53] blakkheim: is there a way to scroll through the chat? [02:53] furi: page up/down [02:53] blakkheim: thanks [02:53] blakkheim, what does a package manager do than, I thought apt is one [02:54] then [02:54] Gryllida: apt is one, but synaptic is just a GUI frontend, it doesn't actually do the work [02:54] blakkheim: what about the color of highlighted text? like, when someone says furi: blahblahblah [02:54] blakkheim: i mean, changing it [02:54] furi: i don't know offhand, but irssi.org has some great documentation [02:54] sudo su [02:54] blakkheim: thank you [02:54] was synaptic the default gui to anage applications prior to 10.04, whent he software center appeared? [02:55] yes [02:55] then passwd [02:55] the** [02:55] Gryllida: synaptic is a gui for apt for noobs to easier manage packages, and the "software center" is an even more noob-friendly gui that does more or less the same thing [02:55] UnholyTerror, is this 'yes' to me? [02:55] I loaded Ubuntu onto my flash drive with Unetbootin, and start up my computer. I press "Try Ubuntu without Installing", screen is going black. No keys do anything. What should I do? [02:55] yees [02:55] MechanicalYeti: Wouldn't that just change my own root password? Or is 127.0.0.1 the same as me? [02:55] when I su to someone else, why doesnt /etc/profile get run? [02:55] tortoise, 127.0.0.1 the same as me, yes [02:56] dr_Willis when i put my password in it gets stuck any thoughts [02:56] I have echo "test" in /etc/profile and it never spits out nor seems to run [02:56] Gryllida: thanks [02:56] raj-k: how long?

[02:57] blakkheim: no, it doesnt run with /bin/echo 'test' [02:57] Thank you, for some reason, I can never remember that lol [02:57] * Gryllida wonders which one worked [02:57] raj-k: there must be, but I am not sure which one [02:58] the first line of /etc/profile says: # /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1)) [02:58] does /etc/profile get run when suing to another user ? [02:59] Gryllida: I used exit, if that was directed to me. [02:59] how do i force this to apply permissions? it won't let me everytime i click apply permissions it reverts to old ones.

[03:05] aspci === Guest15328 is now known as Sean____ [03:05] hahaha!! command line super user worked! woot [03:05] f4 boot options [03:06] How come on the Ubuntu site 32bit is recommended? Is there some problems with 64bit? [03:06] where can i find someone command lines for irssi [03:06] Just curious since I'm gonna be trying out Ubuntu. [03:06] anybody play wow on ubuntu? [03:06] gustavderdrache, how old is your filesystem? Also are you using any sort of RAID? If so what kind [03:06] i run 64bit all day long [03:06] helloNetbookUbun: many people do [03:06] Maahes_: no RAID, system was installed just a few days ago [03:06] Maahes_: fresh, mind [03:06] okay, so it's not any disk fragmentation errors.....hrrrm [03:07] i get like 1 frame a second is it possible to tweak it so i get like 14fps [03:07] what have you installed [03:07] Guys... which machine should I get if I want to run a full Linux notebook? Which machine will give me the best experience I can get with it? Any hints? A Dell machine would be nice (I can get Dell in Brazil..) [03:07] Eber: anything that doesn't have broadcom wifi and ati graphics [03:07] does anyone know of a good aliased monospaced font? [03:07] helloNetbookUbun: Do you have the appropriate video drivers installed? Is Wine configured correctly? Check those two first. [03:07] Alright then, I'll use 64bit. Should be fine then. [03:07] I cannot drag and drop my video files from my music folder to my flash drive. How do I fix this? [03:07] raj-k: how old is the hardware? [03:08] jiohdi: about 8 months old [03:08] UnholyTerror: my packages? [03:08] blakkheim: any other graphics card will wrok? intel? nvidia? [03:08] i'll check my video driver, but let me ask .. is it because i have an intel card? [03:08] Eber: You can get many Dell systems with Ubuntu pre-installed [03:08] Eber: intel and nvidia are both well supported [03:08] Eber: Linux and Intel get along well. =) [03:08] Sean____, you can install 32bit libs if needed. [03:08] furi there is inconsolada [03:08] raj-k: does anything happen at all, when does it go black? [03:08] Cool, good to know! [03:08] gustavderdrache, yes [03:08] she_dyed: thank you, i'll check that === root is now known as Guest33851 === Guest33851 is now known as kodfish [03:09] Alright. In what circumstance may I need 32bit libs if I am running 64bit? [03:09] I just upgraded my VM with 10.10 I wish I had a machine to enjoy it at full speed! [03:09] UnholyTerror: developer-y stuff, perl modules, some libraries, google chrome [03:09] It looks gorgeous! [03:09] UnholyTerror: off the top of my head, don't know how to get a full list of packages (is there a way to pull it out of apt-cache?) [03:09] jiohdi: No. I am pressing all buttons; "Try Ubuntu without installing," "Instal Ubuntu onto hard drive", etc. but all just show black screen. No sounds [03:10] raj-k: so it does get to the menu screen? [03:10] I mean, was it booting fine (normal) then not after a software install? [03:10] judax: I'll try to find them over here... But I think they are not selling those anymore (in Brazil)... [03:10] UnholyTerror: oh, no, it's always been sluggish [03:10] Sean____, there may be some apps you want to run that require 32bit... [03:10] jiohdi: Yes. "Unetbootin Menu: then lists all options. But after I click one option, nothing is happening [03:10] UnholyTerror: but only with this version of linux -- it's had Slackware and it used to run 9.04 for quite awhile [03:10] how do i make command line wine run in a fixed window size? for sudo wine /media/FA507AA9507A6BEF/WorldofWarcraft/WoW.exe -windowed 1024x756 did not work.... better yet how about that set rez in full screen? [03:10] all those worked just fine [03:11] gustavderdrache, why not try to reinstall? [03:11] UnholyTerror: hmm... because that would be a logical option i didn't think about? :P [03:11] alright. Is it an easy procedure to get 32bit libs? (Sorry first time using Linux/Ubuntu so just wanna understand it all) [03:11] Reason i ask is WoW keeps trying to display 2560x1024 [03:11] Eber: Good luck and have fun! [03:11] Sean____, in the repositories. Use Synaptics [03:12] judax: Tks! [03:12] okay [03:12] gustavderdrache, okay, acouple more angles. What's your bios and version? And also, do you have any strange peripherals hooked up. Anything you would not find in a stock pc these days? [03:13] I don't use them. [03:13] I'm installing 10.10 server ed. 64bit on a machine. want to use it for serving files to other units on the same LAN and also stream media, for instance to ps3's. I would also like it to be a webserver (definitely very low traffic, mostly me playing around), have an irc "bouncer" (screen+irssi, I guess) and act as a torrentbox. I need to control it from outside the LAN, and be able to transfer [03:13] files to and from it (again outside the LAN) without anybody in the middle being able to see what the traffic is. [03:13] Maahes_: no strange peripherals as far as I know [03:13] is this really really hard to do? [03:13] Maahes_: BIOS is.. uh... tell me there's a way to find this out without having to reboot [03:13] gustavderdrache: not a usb boot is it? [03:13] she_dyed: nope, boots off a SATA drive [03:13] gustavderdrache, if you know your motherboard type [03:13] jiohdi: Yes. "Unetbootin Menu: then lists all options. But after I click one option, nothing is happening [03:14] Maahes_: actually, one sec, i think i might be able to dig up the info [03:14] gustavderdrache, hold up... [03:14] how do i update a tracker in transmission? [03:14] UnholyTerror: eh? [03:14] and is there a better torrent client? [03:14] even a usb boot shouldn't be that bad, I've got maybe a 40s boot for my USB on weaker hardware than what he's running [03:14] 还有人在的不？ [03:15] Maahes_: it's a Foxconn, uses the X58 chipset [03:15] Sean93, depends what you mean by better. Some people like bittornado, some like using utorrent on ubuntu, if you hang out in the console, rtorrent is excellent [03:16] I wonder if System->Administration->Sytem Testing would show you anything [03:16] why this is so quilty > [03:16] utorrent in wine or is there a linux version? [03:16] im not fond of wine [03:16] UnholyTerror: I ran a disk test, and it's okay, but haven't run any of the other tests [03:16] it is ? [03:17] sudo apt-get update [03:20] Anybody with an alienware M15x? [03:20] how do i make command line wine run in a fixed window size? for sudo wine /media/FA507AA9507A6BEF/WorldofWarcraft/WoW.exe -windowed 1024x756 did not work.... better yet how about that set rez in full screen? [03:21] How can I set up permissions for my Usb flash drive to accept media files from my music folder [03:21] gustavderdrache, system testing gives a nice thorough report of your system. [03:21] it should be x786 stern [03:21] -x [03:21] or x768 stern maybe it rejected [03:21] UnholyTerror: system testing has decided to sit and wait instead of being useflu [03:21] *useful [03:22] can you pull up a terminal? [03:22] UnholyTerror: always :) [03:22] what does 'top' tell you? [03:22] Use 1024x768 starn maybe it rejected [03:22] ok i shall try she_dyed [03:22] or System Monitor [03:22] UnholyTerror: that 99.9% of my CPU is idle :) [03:23] ToStItOs: easiest way is to open a terminal... sudo -s pw: xxxx and then type the name of your file manager... you will be in super user mode... and you can move any file anywhere [03:23] ola, is there any reason why apt-upgrade is holding back kernel 2.6.32-25 ? [03:23] she_dyed only reason i am doing this is for it wont let me set premissions for it by right clicking :\ [03:23] is the HD light on(alot)? [03:23] UnholyTerror: nope [03:24] odd i did normal sudo said i do not own .wine [03:24] hmmmm [03:24] UnholyTerror: there we go, killed it and restarted it :) [03:24] because you don't [03:24] macabre_: sudo aptitude full-upgrade [03:24] its dumb i have to run wine is super mode.. [03:25] you shouldn't need to run wine as super-user [03:25] i know.. [03:25] how do you install fonts? what is the file extension required? [03:25] gonna uninstall it [03:25] jiohdi, but how do I get my usb flash drive to let me drag and drop media files [03:25] but at least starn might be able to get to play [03:25] UnholyTerror: starting all the tests, including the hibernate one [03:25] furi: file extension is irrelevant in *nix environments. [03:25] Reverend_Ruff: i see [03:25] soo like this she_dyed? sudo wine /media/FA507AA9507A6BEF/WorldofWarcraft/WoW.exe -1024x786 [03:26] Reverend_Ruff: but nevertheless how do i install fonts? [03:26] ToStItOs: once in your file manager, you can back click on a folder for your media and change the permissions in properties [03:26] anyone kno how to reset resolution in xubunt?

[03:32] related* [03:32] an application to convert .mp3 sound file to .aac sound file? does anyone know.........:'(? [03:33] how do i have that name automatically use when i start irssi [03:33] Sometimes - now is a case in point - when I maximize a window (in this case emacs), the bottom edge goes off the screen. I can only see the top edge of the emacs buffer line, and I can't see the microbuffer line at all. [03:33] How can I adjust this? [03:33] installing ghostview has any prob [03:33] any known issues [03:33] I am having trouble finding a network manager to replace the one on the default panel using AWN. I keep seeing that it is in the extras trunk. I have that installed but it is not showing up in my applets list. Am I missing something? [03:33] wouldn't that be in prefs? [03:33] YoMama: Check the bug tracker. [03:34] Is there anyway to get evolution to use vlc or mplayer as it's default player for media files? [03:34] where can I find that?

[03:41] why is a file copy in terminal so much slower from a /mounted network windows share slower than the same file copy if i mount it via nautilus and copy that way with the gui? [03:42] gustavderdrache, okay, lots of sleuthing, but no definite answers. One question: Did you buy this motherboard in 2008? [03:42] Maahes_: nope, '09 [03:42] or even copy it via the terminal from the ~/.gfvs folder with command prompt. that is also much faster than via the first method via /mount [03:42] okay, then its probably not one of the screwed up Foxconn boards that shipped in 2008 [03:43] Maahes_: i'd probably see boot problems with Windows if that were the case, wouldn't I? [03:43] gustavderdrache, no it was linux specific [03:43] Maahes_: ah [03:43] sabotage! [03:43] can somone tell me how to make my nick name the name irssi uses when i start it [03:44] is GVFS that much faster than /mounting a network resource? [03:44] Recommendations: Find your bios for your mother board, upgrade to the latest version. Then: Try a different kernel, such as low-latency or whatnot. Then: Try an older kernel. [03:44] after that, if none of those work: Try disabling Plymouth, then ureadahead [03:44] jiohdi, ok hel me out so how can I get my usb drive to have the permission to drag and drop? What do I need to do? [03:44] Maahes_: are alternate kernels easy to get to via apt, or do i get to go compile from source like was intended for all of mankind? [03:45] gustavderdrache, there's several alt kernels in apt [03:45] Maahes_: darn :) [03:45] matts45acp: although this is not an irssi support channel, it's at #irssi use that channel next time, you can do /set nick [03:45] matts45acp, the solution to your problem is sudo aptitude install weechat ;P [03:46] +1 Maahes_ [03:46] Maahes_: how do i go about disabling plymouth/ureadahead? [03:46] Maahes_: i [03:46] aslfkj [03:46] Maahes_: I'm making notes so I don't forget :) [03:46] ToStItOs: check your im from me [03:51] gustavderdrache, ureadahead can be removed via apt. Plymouth can only be sort of commented out: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-mint-84/how-to-disable-plymouth-in-mint-ubuntu-827422/ you may also, try when you boot to press escape and see if booting hangs specifically on any one message [03:51] (escape gets around Plymouth and shows text) [03:51] Trying to update-grub, I get this. Any ideas? /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: Couldn't find PV pv1. Check your device.map. [03:52] Maahes_: okay, cool [03:52] Maahes_: I don't see a low-latency kernel specifically in apt, am I missing it or is it named something else? [03:52] it might have been renamed, lemme look [03:52] Maahes_: okay, thanks [03:53] i recently upgraded to 10.10 and i'm seeing tons of /bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver suspend processes building up on my system. anyone know what the problem may be? [03:55] Anyone not afk? I need help with a terminal command, and its a tad too advanced to google. [03:55] i'm not afk, but i may not be able to help either. whatcha got? [03:56] Well, i need to search through an entire directory of source code for any indication of Si4907.ko [03:56] im trying to track down a driver. [03:56] grep -ri Si4907.ko /path/to/files/* [03:56] problem is, the driver isn't created in the compile, which makes me think(or hope) its commented out. [03:56] ?

[04:18] Can I install netbook version on desktop computer? [04:18] yea [04:18] k0d3g3ar it should offer the driver if you have a supported nVIDIA chipset [04:19] TeruFSX, ok, thanks. I'll check it out [04:19] hey, what's up with this "Unity" interface instead of GNOME Shell for 11.04? [04:19] k0d3g3ar: lspci | grep VGA [04:19] ubuntu already uses Unity [04:19] yeah roknir's tip is better [04:19] in 10.10? [04:19] Hi all [04:19] how do i use skdownloader with google chrome? [04:20] Ubuntu 10.10 is really slow for me [04:20] Googling I think it's a bug between ati drivers and xorg [04:20] kyaw, u probably can but I bet you shouldnt. [04:20] adamkex yes also 11.04 will already be in package freeze when GNOME 3.0 comes out [04:20] with GNOME shell [04:20] Unity is the shell for netbook edition [04:21] sssadad [04:21] ok [04:21] why the hell [04:21] does flash not work in chromium [04:21] psusi: but isn't that for single task computing? [04:21] i'm using backtrack 4 [04:21] bluefoxicy, works for me... at least as well as adobe's horrible products usually do [04:22] how can teach me crack wap [04:22] adamkex, no [04:22] psusi: everything says I don't have flash, but it works in firefox [04:22] !backtrack [04:22] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [04:23] hey, root_ read that. also, I can't teach you how to crack WEP. [04:23] y cant i post to backtrack channel?? [04:23] the theme isn't changing in irssi, but it says it was changed. how come? [04:23] anyone kniow of a quick way to demux the audio from an avi ( and i mean just copy the audio track asis to an mp3) [04:23] jacksparrow I don't know. [04:24] hey TeruFSX, I can teach you how to crack wep [04:24] ;)) [04:24] psusi: ok.. do you think most people would like it? i just looked at a 1600x900 screenshot if it and it looked undesirable imo.. [04:24] root_: I'm not interested. [04:24] jacksparrow: they have unidentified users quieted for some reason [04:24] ubottu: register | jacksparrow [04:24] jacksparrow: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [04:24] adamkex, that kind of defeats the purpose.... the whole point is that it is for SMALL screens [04:24] bsmith093, mplayer ./input.avi -dumpaudio -dumpfile output.mp3 [04:25] Bossmanbeta: [04:25] yoink [04:25] ic ty [04:25] how do i use skdownloader with google chrome? [04:25] psusi: ok, so what will the regular non-netbook users use? everything seems very unclear to me [04:26] adamkex non-Netbook users will use the standard GNOME 2.3 desktop [04:26] adamkex, whenever gnome3 finally ships, it will be gnome-shell [04:26] join #freenode [04:26] gnome-shell X_X [04:26] again GNOME 3.0 and GNOME Shell will not be in 11.04 === dtcummin_away is now known as dtcummin [04:26] lol woops my bad [04:26] hi there [04:27] HellO! [04:27] Where can you see what version Kernel you are using? [04:27] tortoise: uname -a [04:27] hi, anyone know how do i login remote on my xubuntu?? [04:27] roknir: Thanks [04:27] TeruFSX psusi: ok, i just read on slashdot.org/linux that ubuntu is moving away from GNOME Shell [04:28] adamkex, yea.. it's full of it === Haxbeertje is now known as Gerwin [04:28] tortoise: or more concisely, uname -r [04:28] psusi: this all seems so confusing, thank god i prefer xfce [04:28] i like gnome cuz it seems faster, but kde looks nicer [04:28] how do i change the background color of a fallback terminal? [04:28] adamkex: that summary is bad [04:28] hello [04:29] hellp [04:29] also it's a bit inflammatory; Unity is just a shell for GNOME [04:29] TeruFSX: this is why i am asking questions here, because it didn't seem to be 100% accurate [04:29] I need to go check out unity on my netbook... should be pretty nice... last time I tried gnome-shell on my desktop it was pretty sweet too... just buggy [04:30] I can understand why they wouldn't use GNOME Shell. Mainly, it wasn't yet finished. [04:30] *won't yet be finished then. [04:30] Question-- can anyone tell me where Ubuntu's cursor file is located, and whether I can copy it and use it in XP? [04:30] how do i change the background color in the fallback terminal? [04:31] wow we have a lot of doubts here, i'm going out...] [04:31] I wouldn't be so sure it won't make it into 11.04 [04:31] TeruFSX: maybe most people, especially "converts", would dislike it [04:31] hey does anyone know how i can turn my old laptop with s-video out into a decent htpc? I tried running boxee under hardy and it was soo sluggish, doesnt help i only have 32mb video memory either [04:31] they already delayed it once... doesn't seem very likely that it will need delayed again... but time will tell [04:31] the networking-howto at tldp seems to be written in 1998...is it still useful? [04:32] tortoise It is likely marginally useful for wired networks. Otherwise, it is probably useless. [04:32] adamkex, I dunno... converts from windows maybe... but it seems a lot like my wife's macbook to me [04:32] I'm reading through the DNS howto, and it says that I'll need to configure a few files, and would be instructed on that in this howto. [04:32] What files? [04:32] furi, give Terminator a try if you haven't downloaded it already [04:33] psusi: it seems very unorthodox.. but i am very biased considering that i liked XMonad before [04:33] k0d3g3ar: idk, i can't switch to it with ctrl+alt+f#, can i? [04:33] Hi. I'm running an ubuntu server as a guest in VirtualBox and I seem to have lost my network interface in the guest. It may have something to do with me changing the MAC address of it in the configuration on the host. Where (in the guest) should I look for configuration to get it back up? [04:33] It says "You also need good /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts files as a starting point, since I will not explain their function here. If you don't already have all this set up and working the Networking-HOWTO and/or the Networking-Overview-HOWTO explains how to set it up. Read them." [04:34] that is in addition to being able to telnet in and out of your own machine (which I know I can do). [04:34] furi, huh? Its a separate program. Download through Synaptic [04:34] furi yes because what you 're planning on isn't as trivial as GUI desktops are [04:34] she_dyed: huh? [04:35] Actually now that I think about it. I can't telnet 127.0.0.1, but I can sudo ssh 127.0.0.1 ..is there a critical difference in those? [04:35] furi, try using the base level widget first, with a 11.1" cork [04:36] k0d3gear: i'm sorry, i have no idea what you're talking about [04:36] furi look at bashish for theming the VT's [04:36] she_dyed: bashish? is that in apt-get install? [04:36] okay apparently 11.04 will use some form of Unity for desktop users as well [04:37] Could anyone help me with this? [04:37] not sure but check out the homepage to see if yo really want to go there [04:37] hows GPU performance in 11.04? [04:38] hi there, i got some problems with sending files by pidgin or any other form (hotmail using email etc) anyone can help me? im using ubuntu 10.04 [04:39] are you behind a router/firewall? [04:39] i dont know, i just installed ubuntu today. [04:40] i have updated it, and some programs but im new in linux [04:40] is there other hardware between your comp and you modem? [04:41] BkFlameBroiled: nothing else [04:41] Can someone help me with this? I'm reading/doing a DNS HOWTO on tldp.org and this part: "You also need good /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts files as a starting point, since I will not explain their function here.", it's giving me a bit of an issue. [04:41] I'm not sure if I have these "good" or not, or even what that means. [04:41] wow realy i did less to get bt4 runing and make a client and update it than your asking for regestration so i can ask a question [04:41] BkFlameBroiled even i can recieve files with pidgin but i cant sent it [04:41] moved over one time zone...changed my system time in the panel 8 times today..keeps switching back...anyone? [04:41] BkFlameBroiled and i cant upload it to rapidshare or gmail or anything :/ [04:42] thats weird...are you working on a fresh install? [04:42] antonius: You may have to set your BIOS clock [04:43] BkFlameBroiled yes, i have Ubuntu 10.04 Lt? (something like that) i just downloaded it yesterday and installed today. === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:43] tortoies they;re explained in thenetworking HOWTO, at least those portions you menntioned are still relevant [04:43] thats prolly nothing goign on with ubuntu then, prolly an issue with your isp [04:43] AndrewMC: never changed the time in bios, was out of town for 2 months, just changed ubuntu options [04:43] has anyone experienced the 'No DEFAULT of UI Configuration directive found!' error using the latests 32bit desktop .iso booting from a cd known to be good on multiple systems? all i can find on google talks about usb drives giving the error not actual systems [04:44] er, not actual cds. [04:44] BkFlameBroiled im using AMD64 version. [04:44] what version of wine is best to i nstall [04:44] I would like to copy the Ubuntu default cursor onto my desktop, as I find the one XP uses on my dualboot system to be hideous. My goal is to get the same cursor on both systems. Where can I find the .cur file? [04:44] she_dyed: hrrmm...I'm not finding that section in the howto :| [04:45] tortoise: which howto [04:45] does anyone know a good way to get a list of packages that would be installed in 10.10 by default? i went crazy with installing some compiz stuff and want to uninstall a lot of it, but i think purging compiz* would remove much more than i added. any ideas? [04:45] networking-howto [04:45] I read through all of the networking-overview-howto, and didn't see it in there either. [04:45] sudo apt-get upgrade [04:46] does it ? === mike is now known as linelevel [04:46] tortoise: see if there is a miniHowto for internet [04:46] i just tried bashish, i got some errors so i had to uninstall [04:46] toshiba: no, apt-get upgrade would just update any out-of-date packages i have. [04:50] she_dyed: not seeing one [04:50] hi, i just upgraded today from lucid to maverick. my laptop froze most of the way through the maverick installation. after rebooting i ran the partial upgrade to finish up the install and installed all updates and says everything's fine. But i notice that the splash screen during startup and shutdown has text instead of a logo, and i see shell text on top of the splash screen that i think should be hidden.

[04:51] i'm having issues with 10.10 netbook remix [04:52] virtuald: there is one in kontact [04:52] so im wondering what I can do to improve VM 3d performance with an ubuntu guest OS [04:52] test [04:52] shadowscene: no [04:52] gumby`: and preferably not a kde one :p [04:52] rww: thank you [04:52] I would like to use my linux VM to play wolfenstein enemy territory but I have my doubts as to whether that is feasable or not [04:52] How can I make Wubi install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [04:53] virtuald: lol [04:53] then I got nothin. google cal hehe [04:54] Or just a different version [04:54] after i installed kubuntu-desktop on a regular ubuntu, when the system loads i get a text based splash-like screen saying "Kubuntu" and four dots below it. how do i change it back to the default ubuntu? [04:54] I'm using 10.10 netbook remix on an Asus 1005HA w/ 2GB ram. When I close an app, the screen goes completely black for 10-30 seconds most of the time, or just hangs forever. [04:54] How do I diagnose and fix this? [04:54] she_dyed: Actually, I think I may have found it in the networking-howto [04:55] yes its there tortoise, stop wasting our time [04:55] i have two issues i need fixed: first of all, my n52te has always remained in the same mapping, and pystromo didn't work. nostromo for linux has worked fine, and i can get the daemon up, but the m52te still remains in the same state. second of all, music applet is giving errors whenever i try to put it onto the panel. [04:55] i guess i'll have to try kcontact then but i don't expect it to be any good without the rest of kde [04:56] she_dyed: Sorry, I didn't realize your time was so precious that you couldn't help noobs, being that you *are* sitting in the ubuntu support channel. Sorry, I'm an idiot. [04:56] gumby`: you meant korganizer didn't you? [04:57] gumby`: hmm seems to be the same thing [04:57] virtuald: well, korganizer is part of kontact. kontact is sort of the suite [04:57] I like it. *shrug* [04:58] i don't need the suit, just the shirt please [04:58] you can install it without installing kde. it'll install a bunch of deps that are kde libs, but you dont have to install a full blown kde [04:58] you can probably just get away with the calendar app then [04:58] not sure how adding calendar events you get via email would work though. [04:59] 8[ [05:00] hm [05:00] @akfaew You can follow the directions on the page to revert to pure Ubuntu http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [05:00] or should I say genome [05:01] jimtuv: i need the kde, i just don't want the Kubuntu loading message [05:01] I'm using 10.10 netbook remix on an Asus 1005HA w/ 2GB ram. When I close an app, the screen goes completely black for 10-30 seconds most of the time, or just hangs forever. [05:01] How do I diagnose and fix this? [05:01] i'm on xubuntu 10.10 32-bit and I keep getting "additional plugins required" messages in firefox. when i click "install missing plugins", nothing is listed. i have flashplugin and sun-java6-plugin installed, and all packages are up to date. anyone know what's going on? [05:01] sorry, my googlefu fails me. is there a command to get a list of all currently installed packages? [05:02] roknir: dpkg --get-selections [05:02] http://www.spaenaur.com/view_pdf.asp?Page=C2 <-- this is a page that gives me the message and doesn't display anything [05:02] bcgrown, have you restarted firefox since the install completed? [05:02] SteveThing: yes [05:02] Where is the default ubuntu cursor file located? [05:03] bcgrown, hmm, sorry.. that was the extent of my knowledge... :/ [05:03] ดีครับบบบ [05:03] blakkheim: granted, this seems like a dumb question, but, some of them show up as deinstall. does that mean i had it installed at one time but have since removed it? [05:03] I've just installed 10.10 and ran a b43 firmware installer (i have the b4312 low power chipset), and now windows refuses to recognize any wireless networks. how can i install the default b43 firmware for my wireless card? [05:03] imizael, good reason to get rid of Windows, Ubuntu is better [05:04] dire [05:04] that's be great, angelman, but wireless refuses to work in ubuntu as well [05:04] imizael: the b43 driver doesn't work with bcm4312. remove it, install bcmwl-kernel-source, shutdown your computer *and turn it off* (to reset the card), then restart. [05:04] pseudocube, if you want to install new cursors, you can drag them into the cursors tab of appearance [05:05] SteveThing: can you view that link i pasted? [05:05] rww: working on that now, i had uninstalled ubuntu in the interim [05:05] dont restart or shut down until you do what rww said [05:05] actually, i want to copy the cursor file to the desktop [05:05] angelman: can't help it, have to-- i'm currently reinstalling ubuntu [05:06] I'm having a problem 10.04, I tried to upgrade my kernel, and it fails exit status 2, this is the output of my apt/log http://pastebin.com/aDYfbnPA [05:06] imizael: I'm assuming that that will also sort out Windows' problems. I've never run Windows on mine, so I don't know for sure. [05:06] im using ubuntu 10.4 i have to reconnect my wireless connection over and over again and asking me to type the password of my network any idea ? [05:06] bcgrown, it appears it uses some type of adobe plugin that isn't made for firefox [05:06] bcgrown, have you tried using another browser? [05:06] SteveThing: no... didn't think of that :) [05:06] pseudocube, otherwise you want to do locate cursor or find -name cursor and look for image files, to start [05:07] disconnect my wireless connection [05:07] rww: i'd think so too. the problems began when i tried the new firmware. i'd note that this card is apparently the low-power version of it. should i still install the same package? [05:07] hello [05:07] rww: the package i installed was firmware-b43-lpphy-installer. [05:07] SteveThing: doesn't work in Chrome either, I just get a big grey screen at the bottom [05:07] imizael: the card I have claims to be "LP-PHY", which I assume means low-power [05:08] why use chomre [05:08] bcgrown, do you have a windows box to try it on? [05:08] akfaew From your discription I think what you want is to change your plymouth theme. That is the first animation that shows up when you boot up correct? [05:08] bcgrown, it appears to be a PDF type of plugin that is required [05:08] rww: yes, that is the card [05:08] SteveThing: yeah, if i HAVE to :) [05:08] ? [05:08] hunabq: Because when flash crashes in chrome it doesn't take the browser with it. [05:08] imizael: but yeah. the b43 driver and the associated firmware have some issues on at least 10.04 and 10.10. It'll probably get sorted out eventually, but bcmwl (which doesn't need a firmware installation) is the way to go right now. [05:09] although it's not free-software, which sucks. [05:09] chrome seems like another ripoff [05:09] rww: so.. if i use the bcmwl software, it won't reload new firmware? because i believe that to be the issue. [05:09] with a sweet face [05:09] akfaew To change themes from the KDE just enter this in the terminal and select a new theme. sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth [05:09] rww: Won't help for current cards but it looks like broadcom finally stepped up and is releasing Free drivers. [05:09] imizael: I think it will, but I have no idea where it gets it from. might be part of the module itself, iono. [05:10] rww: okay, i'll give it a shot. thanks for the help, lets see if it works. [05:10] akfaew make sure to update when finished sudo update-initramfs -u [05:10] Jordan_U: free drivers with closed-source firmware. it's the same situation as b43 right now :( [05:10] any idea why my wireless got disconnected all the time and i i have to type the password [05:11] to type the password of my ssid [05:11] boysen: weak signal [05:11] boysen >> how close are you to the accesspoint? [05:11] i have to idea [05:11] no idea [05:12] 10.10 x32 UNR, Atom based Netbook, Colsing an app makes screen go black for 10-30 seconds or hardlock... any ideas how to fix it? [05:12] when im only using my laptop 10.4 ubuntu [05:12] how do i upgrade adobe-flashplugin, i'm not able to view videos presently [05:12] mak_69 did you install the ubuntu restricted extras? [05:13] SteveThing: try calling the app from terminal then close it, maybe theres messages repeating, if we're lucky [05:13] sikth: nope, can u assist on how to do that [05:13] SteveThing: installing the bloated Adobe Reader made it work [05:14] lol [05:14] hi guys, i have a ubuntu server install problem.. can some one help please? [05:14] just toss it out camer0n_ [05:14] What document does inform about the Natty development and release milestones? [05:15] i upgraded to maverick and when i ssh to my system there is fancy information on the bottom of the terminal, what program is that? what is that called? I want to install it on my lucid server >.< [05:15] bullgard4: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [05:15] mvrak: byobu [05:15] mak_69, go to Applications>Accessories>terminal then once in the terminal type in 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' without the'' [05:15] is this the right place to ask for help? =) [05:15] fictive: with Ubuntu? yes [05:16] alright. I'm having problems with my bootloader [05:16] I have been getting stuck at 75% when installing ubuntu server 10.10. it says "storing languages". i have pressed ctrl+alt+f2 and it says "Please press enter to activate this console." I have pressed enter and it freezes, and i cannot press ctrl+alt+f1,2,3...etc [05:16] is there some strange way to install flash player with APT or should I just do it adobe's way? [05:16] MagusOTB: generally, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [05:16] test [05:16] 32 and 64 bit, beware [05:17] you choose the right one [05:17] rww: i installed byobu, i want it fancy on my lucid server like it is on my maverick desktop qq [05:17] had ubuntu and windows installed, working fine, then had to reinstall windows because I found a rootkit. now all I see when I boot up is the grub CLI, my usb bootable 10.10 only boots into grub recovery, but my unetbootin bootable usb with 10.04 boots into live [05:18] Maahes_: so i went ahead and removed ureadahead and plymouth [05:18] I've searched google for a couple of hours now but I can't seem to fix it [05:18] fictive: which version of Ubuntu? [05:18] and Windows [05:18] 10.10 installed [05:18] Maahes_: boot time is down to 370s [05:18] w7 [05:18] sikth: k, once i finish that i can upgrade using the command 'update apt-get adobe-flashpugin' right?? [05:18] gustavderdrache, damn.... did you try the other solutions? (new bios, different kernel, old kernel?) [05:18] rww: Thank you very much for your help. [05:18] Maahes_: nope [05:18] given your machine specs, you *should* be having around a 15s boot time. [05:18] fictive: try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 , section "Restore GRUB2 - Recovering from a Windows XP / Vista / 7 Reinstallation". I haven't done it myself, but it looks applicable. [05:19] Maahes_: should be, but don't :( [05:19] fictive: (it says 10.04 liveCD, but 10.10 would also work, as would a liveusb) [05:19] Debian or Ubuntu webserver? [05:19] is byobu running on top of bash or is it a separate shell [05:19] Which is better? [05:19] mak_69 I dont think you'll have to. Just close your browser, then reopen it and you should be good to go [05:19] I have been getting stuck at 75% when installing ubuntu server 10.10. it says "storing languages". i have pressed ctrl+alt+f2 and it says "Please press enter to activate this console." I have pressed enter and it freezes, and i cannot press ctrl+alt+f1,2,3...etc [05:19] excision: whichever you prefer. I've used both; there isn't a whole lot of difference. [05:20] does anyone have insight on what causes my microphone to not work when the balance is centered? [05:20] i am installing via usb stick, onto a usb stick [05:20] gustavderdrache, I mentioned trying those solutions because they're more likely to work, removing ureadahead and plymouth aren't really suggested, well plymouth doesn't matter so much, but ureadahead *should* result in a faster boot time [05:20] hmm, thank you. I am using debian now, and I see that some people use an ubuntu. [05:20] I was thinking about fedora. [05:20] sikth: thank u for ur kind help. tc. [05:20] excision: if you're more familiar with Debian, I'd use Debian [05:20] but it does tell us that neither ureadhead nor plymouth are the culprits [05:20] rww: I'll give it a go right now [05:20] I asked in winehq but how do I make my c drive bigger in wine? [05:20] mak_69 np [05:21] alright, that does make sense. [05:21] Maahes_: still don't know where to find the low-latency kernel [05:21] You're pretty i/o bound and it corresponds fairly heavily to modprobe, which may mean some kernel module is screwing up, thus trying different kernels is useful [05:21] isn't ubuntu based on debian? [05:22] hunabq: yes, it is [05:22] gustavderdrache, low-latency is what they used to call it, its been replaced by -rt, you can also try server, generic-pae and I forget the other one (virtual and ec2 aren't useful) [05:22] thats why i use it [05:22] how do i make Byobu start when I ssh in? instead of typing byobu once im there [05:23] using debian ensures you dont have to learn different os'es [05:23] talking about ssh. [05:23] rww: I'm getting a "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." [05:23] and their languages [05:23] at "sudo update-grub" [05:23] I try to use ssh from school [05:23] camer0n_: the only thing i can think of is, open f2 ahead of time, dont wait for languages, and stay on that screen [05:23] and it looks like port 22 is blocked. [05:23] What is another good port to use? [05:23] mvrak: I haven't used byobu much, but I believe that there's an option for that in the settings menu for byobu (F2 or something? I think it says the key combination on the screen) [05:23] Maahes_: I still don't see a "-rt" anywhere [05:23] she_dyed, mmm will try... just annoying that it takes so long to get to that point [05:23] excision: you can use any. I go with 2222, because it's easy to remember ;) [05:24] port 666 [05:24] camer0n_: do you have a cold one in the fridge [05:24] newby to xchat. i installed netbook 10.10 and the mouse hovers over unity icons, screen blanks out. help? [05:24] 2222, ill have to try that [05:24] and port 666 lol, thats what DOOM uses. [05:24] she_dyed, no :( [05:25] * she_dyed uploads a cole one to camer0n_ [05:25] she_dyed, lol thanks :P [05:25] In case port 2222 is blocked too, do you think I could use the https port? [05:25] How do I access my Password Manager to delete an entry? [05:25] rww: i'll have you know you just solved my months-long wrestling match with b4312 drivers in linux :) now to see if you fixed my issues in windows [05:25] gl camer0n_ [05:25] just open the damn port [05:25] excision: or even port 80 [05:25] fdora better tan ubuntu? [05:25] rww: thanks i got it, it was obvious i just wasn't looking hard enough [05:25] than [05:25] fictive: hrm. what are you booting from, liveusb? it might be getting confused by the liveusb system. I'm not familiar enough with it to help, unfortunately :( [05:26] I have tried port 80 and apache has it already. [05:26] d00d dont use 80 lol [05:26] rww: it's a live usb, yeah [05:26] any xiphos users here?\ [05:26] rww: thanks for giving it a shot, though :) [05:26] excision: I've used the HTTPS port. I got the occasional attempted HTTPS connection to my ssh server, which has fun log entries, but apart from that it was fine. [05:26] Deigratia: I've used xiphos, yes. [05:26] fictive: no problem. good luck :) [05:27] thanks [05:27] so I think I will give https a go then. The stupid proxy server at school can't see that port I think [05:27] does anyone know issue with netbook unity interface problems? when mouse-over unity icons, screen blanks for a second and nothing happens but blink. [05:27] I can use any secure(normally blocked) site. [05:27] rww: both linux and windows wireless solved in one fell swoop! i owe you a beer, friend :) thanks again. [05:27] rww: I have a netbook live cd here, should work with the desktop installed on the laptop, right? [05:28] imizael: You're welcome. Glad we got it figured out; those things can be confusing :) [05:28] cheers, friend :) [05:28] odd thing, verse selection won't work...any ideas... [05:28] fictive: yep. Terminal might be a little harder to find, but all the same commands should work. [05:28] fictive: i've installed netbook on desktops with success. [05:29] any idea what is the safest daemon for telnet server [05:29] fictive: You probably forgot to chroot, or to mount /dev within the chroot. [05:29] boysen: there is no safe telnet daemon, really. The protocol itself mandates sending passwords unencrypted, which means that anyone between you and your server can see them. [05:29] boysen: Generally, we recommend using openssh instead. [05:29] daemon telnet server to install [05:30] Jordan_U: I did nothing of the sort :o could you give me a little guidance? [05:30] but using ssh i cannot connect with my eggy [05:30] fictive: What guide were you following? [05:30] I know it's not supported, but what does it take to get kqemu installed/working? ( my machine doesn't support VT so kvm isn't an option) [05:30] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Restore GRUB2 - Recovering from a Windows XP / Vista / 7 Reinstallation [05:30] this one, Jordan_U [05:30] :( [05:30] the server should support ssh as well [05:31] anyone know of netbook unity issues? [05:31] http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ <----where are the kernel image files located? I click on kernel, and nothing is there [05:31] Deigratia: hrm, odd. I haven't experienced that. Occasionally, xiphos got confused and I had to close it and reopen it, but verse selection hasn't been an issue for me. [05:31] fictive: Wow, that guide is just completely wrong. [05:31] I am trying to run a command from ssh... how can I make it so that it runs in the background so i can still use the ssh, but also that it keeps running after I close the connection? [05:31] is it safe to install ubuntu restricted extras [05:31] man ssh [05:31] Jordan_U: well that's great then! hehe, got any corrections I could make use of? [05:32] hehehe [05:32] MK13, tmux or screen [05:32] Jordan_U: hrm. If you find better instructions, can you edit it or poke me with them and I'll edit it? [05:32] MK13, I recommend tmux, its better than screen [05:32] sikith: is it safe to install ubuntu restricted extras?? [05:32] Maahes_, thanks [05:33] I have a box on 10.04 netbook that I cannot update to 10.04.1 LTS because that breaks it. How can I update only the packages that changed without going all the way up to 10.04.1 LTS? [05:33] 0_o o_0 [05:33] rww: fictive: The best instructions for re-installing grub from a liveCD are these: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [05:33] the only way i can connect to my bot is to use telnet [05:33] unity issue help? [05:33] sikth: is it safe to install ubuntu restricted extras?? [05:34] Jordan_U: thanks, I'll look into it :) [05:34] mak_69 yes very [05:34] fictive: You're welcome. [05:34] Jordan_U: thanks [05:34] How can I put stuff in /etc/resolv.conf without NetworkManager overwriting it? === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:35] rww: thanks anyway! === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest79540 [05:35] hi guys.. if i have console access while an install is happening.. can i skip out part of the install i know will fail? [05:35] <(@.@)> [05:36] In debian, how do I allow ssh connections to port 443 [05:36] Hey everyone! I have a directory on my computer that has a whole bunch of subdirectories(and sometimes directories in those) and I want to move all the files in all the subdirectories and place them in the top level directory if that makes sense. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? [05:36] I edited the sshd_config [05:36] I just have no clue how to actually allow it through the system. [05:36] excision: this isn't a debian support channel [05:36] mak_69 read this if you are unsure. it explains why Ubuntu can't come with the extras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:36] excision: try #debian for Debian support ;) [05:36] Ohh, thats right. [05:37] I keep forgetting that Im on my ubuntu machine. [05:37] Thank you [05:37] (and #ubuntu for Ubuntu support; they don't support us either ;) [05:37] rww: There is one small problem and one complete error in the Ubuntu wiki instructions. The small problem is that it installs grub using the utils of the live system, which may not be the same version as the installed system's grub (which can sometimes cause problems). The complete error is that update-grub, when run from the Live system, will try to update the live system's grub config (not the installed systems). [05:37] edit your sshd_config [05:37] gustavderdrache, evidently they dropped support for low-latency and -rt in maverick, that kinda sucks. Although if you added ubuntu-studio's repo you could get the -preempt kernel [05:37] I'm having a problem 10.04, I tried to upgrade my kernel, and it fails exit status 2, this is the output of my apt/log http://pastebin.com/aDYfbnPA [05:37] rww: Using chroot solves both problems, but has the downside that it can't be used when the Live system is 32 bit and the installed system is 32 bit. [05:37] Jordan_U: ah, hence the chroot. I see. === bowozz is now known as BoWozZ [05:38] Maahes_: rats [05:38] Maahes_: i'm booting the server kernel right now [05:39] Maahes_: it was doing fine until it decided to check the battery state [05:39] ratz [05:39] excision >> and change #Port 22 to Port 443 without the #sign [05:39] then restart your ssh daemon via < etc/init.d/ssh restart [05:39] gustavderdrache, after trying a different kernel and an old kernel you may look into shutting off ACPI support. It may make your boot a lot faster, but it'll kill your battery life. [05:40] Maahes_: i don't have a battery [05:40] gustavderdrache, then it just affects suspend and hibernate I believe. [05:41] rww: Thank you for actually updating the wiki documentation BTW. I always mean to do it myself but usually put it off because getting the formatting right is tedious :) [05:41] Maahes_: i booted the server kernel... but i can't find the X display [05:42] oh, bah, stupid nvidia modules [05:42] haha! Jordan_U, I LOVE you, man [05:42] thank you so much for your help, Jordan_U and rww =) [05:43] Jordan_U: ah, looks like we missed something. The very top of w.u.c/Grub2 links to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , which appears to accurately describe the chroot method. === dtcummin is now known as dtcummin_away [05:43] Jordan_U: I'm checking to make sure everything on the help.ubuntu.com page is on the wiki.ubuntu.com page, then will redirect wiki to help.

[05:52] shut up ilovefairuz [05:53] interesting... [05:53] hi, im looking for the source code for the "disk utility" that comes packaged with ubuntu. does anybody know where this would be? [05:54] does anyone know a good sysinfo script for xchat? [05:54] did he actually part? (not kicked) [05:54] Hrimfaxi: the first step is identifying which package the "disk utility" comes with. I don't know which one it is. [05:54] giantpune: the package name is "gnome-disk-utility"; to get the source code for a package, you'd do "apt-get source gnome-disk-utility" [05:54] wolfric: he was removed [05:55] Mathuin, I think you meant to direct that to wolfric [05:55] lol [05:55] sweet. and where does it put the source when i do that rww ? [05:55] giantpune: the current directory [05:55] giantpune: make a new dir, cd to it and execute the command [05:55] Hrimfaxi: giantpune actually, whoops. :-) [05:55] i didn't realise you could force someone to part unless they were a server op? [05:56] oh, oops, xD [05:56] wolfric: freenode has a /remove command that regular ops can use. [05:56] Wasn't you! Sorry about that. :-) [05:56] wolfric: it removes them from the channel, not the network. [05:56] rww: why not a simple kick? [05:56] wolfric: because some clients autorejoin on kick [05:56] aha [05:56] Looks like this "upgrade" is gonna take forever, and I bet it won't work. :-P [05:57] i didn't even know irc support forcing part. nice to know [05:57] supported* [05:58] really, i just need a way to get a filesystem from a given path. something like "df -T /path/to/some/file" except that when this spits out a filesystem, it doesnt always work for mounted NTFS drives [05:58] have china people?

[06:00] giantpune: are you trying to find which mount point/partition a file belongs to? [06:00] all a care about is the filesystem. [06:01] so i want to give a filename and get back a filesystem [06:01] giantpune: What I'm asking is, what do you mean by "a filesystem"? [06:01] i want the name of the filesystem... fat32, ntfs... ext4 [06:03] giantpune: try "stat -fc %T /path/to/file.ext" [06:03] I am having an issue with console-kit-daemon on ubuntu-server 10.10 and I'm not sure what's going on.

[06:17] Renderspec, I do not..but if no one can answer here at this point... try ##linux channel [06:17] Renderspec: that default outgoing policy should be 'deny' and then add a rule to allow firefox [06:17] nesto1000: I only do rat infestations. Sorry. [06:18] lol [06:18] Renderspec: or use the default firewall that comes with ubuntu, check: man ufw [06:18] Huh. This time, it worked.

It'll be awesome if I can repurpose this old Eee PC 700 as a security camera. :-P [06:19] anyone know if firesheep has a linux port yet?

[06:37] also, another question that you guys might be able to answer is... Why does the 64bit Ubuntu have amd on it? Is it because it only works correctly on amd based machines, or because amd came up with the 64bit instructions? [06:37] Well just moments ago put on, havent checked if proper places on at housing areas could be found. [06:37] nesto1000: amd came up with x86_64 [06:37] hence amd64 [06:37] But from main things it's from Wimax 30 ms to hdspa of min at 90+ and usually 200+, partially some seconds.

[07:09] (on meerkat) [07:10] You can run: echo export PS1="END OF LINE\\$PS1" >> ~/.bashrc [07:10] To make it permanent, but I'd advise against that [07:10] Woops, echo export PS1="END OF LINE\\n\\$PS1" >> ~/.bashrc [07:10] sobersabre: /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list [07:10] Does all that /etc/network/interfaces and dhclient3 wlan0 stuff work anymore?

I am trying the command line, and it doesn't work. I have no encryption, WEP or WPA. I do 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys; sudo dhclient3 wlan0; and it fails.

Then just sits on boot: [07:20] Is there an error in the latest .iso perhaps? [07:20] hyperstream: did you verify the ISO before burning? [07:20] hi all, I have an interesting problem with paginate. I need to paginate two record sets on one page and I am not sure if paginate can handle it. To make it even more interesting, I need to paginate two record sets for the same model [07:20] !verify | hyperstream [07:20] hyperstream: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:20] ilovefairuz, ill do that now, thanks [07:21] oops sorry wrong channel [07:22] ilovefairuz, yes its an exact match [07:23] ,kl{ [07:23] hyperstream: verify the cd, use /dev/cdrom instead of the ISO file [07:25] i want to cube Desktop kde 10.04 but it is not activated effects??

[07:42] and the access permissions says, I can read and write the file [07:42] Jordan_U:there is a animate skydome feature. I thought I'd give it a try,but I don't know where the gl matrix screensaver is on file [07:43] I know I'm going to regret asking this, but where does the Ubuntu rubygems package look for gems? [07:43] steevo: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/, but I'm not optamistic that it will work the way you expect. [07:43] I upgraded to Maverick from ...

There isn't going to be a next next new user set password now online window in linux [07:52] Jordan_U: Yup, well im doing something pretty weird. I only have a 2GB HDD and I want to install Gentoo Minimal on that HDD, then attach a USB and install Gentoo on the USB (8GB). [07:52] ok imma repeat my question. is the nvidia driver in maverick still beta? its laggy, so i need to go back to lucid. and still in maverick how can i fix pulseaudio that uses all my cpu resources when playing audio and video files? screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2075532/Gallery/GILWAYS/Screenshot-1.png [07:52] dyllan: Sorry, I had you mixed up with steevo. [07:53] Jordan_U: So I need to format /dev/hda (which you kindly pointed out is seen as /dev/sda), then install gentoo minimal on /dev/hda, then reboot the device and it will boot up into gentoo minimal from the 2GB, then plug in my USB Flash of 8GB and proceed to install gentoo onto the 8GB. [07:53] Jordan_U: np ;) [07:54] is there any way to make .html files open as a default in gedit rather than firefox? [07:55] DtatchD: Right click > Properties > Open With (tab at the top). [07:56] Jordan_U, yes but my question is in regards to avoiding that [07:56] Всем привет [07:56] DtatchD: Then you'll have to clarify what you're trying to accomplish.

[08:29] hgb: check wether any hardware switch is there and make sure its on [08:29] Hello Thor yes this is the one except mine is on VISTA [08:30] tecoholic: Yeah, I've thought of that. Didn't find one though. [08:30] ... [08:30] tecoholic: Until now! Got it. [08:30] Thanks. [08:30] hgb: You should still tell the company to upgrade. Right now it's not quite a security risk as it hasn't been EOL long, but it will be. [08:31] Its ok.. [08:31] Jordan_U: Yeah, will do. Thanks. [08:31] Can I easily upgrade with apt? [08:32] hgb: you should feel easier with the update manager [08:32] tecoholic: Okay. Will look at it. Breakfast now, I think. Thkisw [08:32] err.. Thanks.

[09:04] hyperstream: have you tried any of the boot options for the install? [09:07] n2diy, yes spent a long while going through the process [09:07] SSH [09:07] ? [09:08] Did i try sshing into the box? [09:08] Ok, so, I'm using 10.10. Everything was fine. I use Chrome and Firefox. Now, for some reason, I decided to install "kde-standard". Booted into KDE once, went back to Gnome. Now, fonts inside of Chrome and Firefox windows aren't anti-aliased. They were before. [09:08] ohh [09:08] hyperstream: ok, GL. [09:08] no [09:08] sorry my question about ssh [09:08] :) [09:08] . [09:08] anhtrinh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:09] the rest of gnome is still anti-aliased properlu [09:09] properly* [09:09] have any tried "ssh localhost export", and see that the export list is not as full as "export" [09:09] just the actual pages in both firefox and chrome [09:09] which it should be (I think) [09:10] in the apearance settings, everything looks fine. i reset everything just to be sure, and shut down/restarted just to be sure [09:10] I have ubuntu 10.10 on a A21M laptop IBM and when I adjust volume with the slider I get a squelching sound ,what can I do?

[09:14] uLinux, just as many in windows. [09:14] need to press reset [09:14] hyperstream: who talked about windows? [09:15] uLinux, i did ? [09:15] * uLinux ignores hyperstream [09:15] What a silly question.. [09:15] Anyhow. [09:16] "Linux never freezes, never crashes" not true at all [09:16] or maybe it's Ubuntu that sucks [09:17] !es [09:17] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:17] uLinux, Where does it state that? [09:17] Jordan_U: not offtopic [09:17] . [09:18] uLinux: what's your ubuntu support question? [09:18] uLinux: or maybe it's some driver that's misbehaving, or an hardware issue [09:18] uLinux: you don't make the rules here. [09:18] uLinux: If you have a problem, describe it and we'll try to help you fix it. if you're going to make nebulous complaints, talk to your parents. [09:18] MagusOTB: i already described it. [09:19] ilovefairuz: what to do when I can even execute commands in terminal? reset ftw? [09:19] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: possibly [09:19] Gnea: did i made any rule?

[09:22] is SSH an off topic in this forum? [09:22] :) [09:22] (ot) users like hyperstream, instead of helping just start talking about linux vs windows, are a bad example for the community [09:22] because it behaves different from OSX, supposedly both are using bash [09:22] anhtrinh: that depends on the problem you're having with it and how you ask :) [09:22] uLinux: community metadiscussion isn't much better. What's the prohblem you're having with ubuntu? [09:23] uLinux: It's been five minutes since that conversation died. Stop trying to reignite it, thanks. [09:23] MagusOTB: terminal couldnt execute any command [09:23] anhtrinh: well bash is just the login shell, ssh is just a program that's separate of that [09:23] uLinux: what's it say when you try? [09:23] "ssh localhost export" gives different result "export" [09:23] uLinux, Your ability to not read the guidelines, and or present a problem in a decent manner, is a bad example of a young user who has no respect for such places as these. [09:23] MagusOTB: nothing, it just hangs [09:24] uLinux: terminal as in ctrl-alt-F1 or gnome-terminal/konsole/xterm/whatever? [09:24] when I do export alone, it gives everything from .bashrc, but "ssh localhost export" only gives a few [09:24] uLinux: and what command are you trying? [09:24] !guidelines > hyperstream [09:24] hyperstream, please see my private message [09:24] hyperstream: no need to egg him on. [09:24] MagusOTB: any command i was trying to reboot [09:24] anhtrinh: is your bashRC set up to behave differently based on your $TERM? [09:24] uLinux, hyperstream: you're both better off burying it now. [09:25] MagusOTB: i think it's wireless driver fault [09:25] uLinux: specifically what did you type into the console and what resulted? [09:25] not that i know off [09:25] MagusOTB: i execute the command and than nothing happens [09:25] uLinux: What command? [09:25] uLinux: what command? [09:25] MagusOTB: how can I check? [09:26] Gnea, not egging, stating the facts. He is clearly making trouble over nothing. [09:26] Jordan_U: ANY command, like ls, cd.. [09:26] Gnea, you concerns have been noted, thanks. [09:26] whats your issue [09:26] you're* [09:26] i was trying also to "sudo reboot" [09:26] afk [09:26] this is redic to enter chan and then read all this redundant stuff [09:26] you have to sudo reboot -n [09:26] uLinux: and it just hangs? what terminal are you using? [09:27] MagusOTB: gnome [09:27] MagusOTB: also in tty whatever that is .. i couldnt type any command there too [09:27] do you get the normal username@hostname dir$ prompt? [09:27] uLinux: what happens if you try this: sudo shutdown -r now ? [09:28] uLinux: I'm still not clear on what happened. Did the freeze appear to be caused by a command you ran, or did the machine freeze and to recover you tried to run commands? [09:28] sudo facepalm [09:28] ? [09:28] uLinux: okay, if you couldn't type anything, could you use sysrq? [09:29] Jordan_U: I could execute commands in terminal, couldnt restart using GUI, nothing [09:29] ctrl c to see if it end the command if one is running [09:29] or ctrl-Z if that fails and see what gets backgrounded. [09:29] tried that too of course [09:29] you try the old hold the power button down and wait for a reboot? [09:29] if you open a new term do you get a prompt?

[09:30] uLinux: was that to me about 'tried that too'? [09:30] how may i prevent 10.10 from autoupdating kernel? is it even possible? [09:30] Gnea: ctrl+c ctrl+z [09:30] uLinux: ah, what about sysrq commands? [09:31] uLinux: Did the freeze appear to be triggered by a command you ran? I would still like a better description of the events leading up to the freeze. [09:31] uLinux, http://paradoxdgn.com/junk/avatars/trollface.jpg [09:31] uLinux: if you installed the ssh server, you could try logging in from another computer [09:31] Its not trolling. [09:31] hi, i have a problem: how can i put "mount --bind old-dir /tmp" in /etc/fstab [09:31] !ot | xiambax [09:31] xiambax: #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! [09:31] yj_: man mount [09:31] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: the computer was fine, just couldnt execute commands. [09:32] yj_: or fstab entry is: /olddir /newdir none bind [09:32] Jordan_U: i think it was Wireless driver [09:32] uLinux: Please describe the events leading up to the freeze. [09:33] in particular, how may i prohibit changing default kernel after upgrade? [09:33] uid0owl: why would you want to prevent it? [09:34] uid0owl: you could use /boot/grub/brub.conf to point to the old one. Any reason you want to? [09:34] Jordan_U: i was trying to connect to wireless using wicd with a patched driver that should be the problem. [09:34] how may I tell if samba is running [09:34] uid0owl: Why do you want to prevent new kernels from being installed? If you had a particular problem after a kernel update perhaps we can help solve that so you don't need to prevent updates.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:36] Hello everybody! [09:36] I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick without problems. But then an update with about 53 changes ran from Update Manager, [09:36] n2diy: No, it does not. But unless you're sharing /home between two distros you might want to reconsider making one at all: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life [09:36] now x won't start and a lot of other issues. I wonder if I made the wrong choice when I upgraded to maverick. [09:36] Did I choose the wrong /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? [09:36] brandoney: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:37] Jordan_U: btw the machine didnt freeze.. terminals didn0t respond any time i executed a command [09:37] can anyone tell me how to install adobe flash in maverick [09:37] asish: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-installer I believe [09:37] or flashplugin-installer [09:37] asish: you can open firefox, go to youtube, and it will ask you if you want to install it [09:37] Gnea: know how to get it to rebuild smb.conf? tried rm smb.conf and reinstalling samba but no smb.conf [09:37] i m tryng [09:38] Jordan_U: Ok, your a mind reader, it is a a Xubuntu box, and I'm installing Ubuntu on it too. Didn't realize I could share /home between them, let me go read your link. [09:38] cjae: not sure why you'd want to rm it when you could've just mv'd it elsewhere, but what command are you using to reinstall? [09:38] asish: are you in livecd? [09:39] no i have installed maverick [09:39] Gnea: sudo aptitude install samba [09:39] cjae: try this: sudo aptitude reinstall samba [09:40] it shows E: Unable to locate package flashplayer-installer [09:40] asish: it's flashplugin-install [09:40] I am trying to upgrade to ubuntu10.10, but i am stuck while installing the cups-ppdc.

[09:41] meemp [09:41] but i dont know how to install in linux [09:41] pulseaudio seems to suck [09:41] hi can anybody tell me i have gnome ubuntu but i want KDE as well on same machine [09:41] !kde | lallu_ [09:41] n2diy: To share the /home partition, in the second install select the manual partitioning option in the installer. Make a new partition for the root, and select '/' for its mountpoint and select '/home' for the mountpoint of the already existing partition used as /home in the other install. Just make sure that the "format" box is not checked on the /home partition. [09:41] lallu_: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [09:41] asish, go to terminal and type: sudo apt-get install softwarename and it will install it [09:42] thank u [09:42] is there a safe way to remove pulseaudio and use alsa instead? [09:42] asish: have you installed Ubuntu Restricted Extras? [09:42] i'll do this [09:42] in 10.10 === wonder is now known as Guest7827 [09:42] Is there any program like wireshark that you can run in terminal wihtout x? :) [09:42] I'm having a dependency problem trying to install a kernel image, can someone give me some advice please? http://pastebin.com/3HieTV7c [09:42] supernicko: sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio [09:43] TheG0blin: tcpdump [09:43] Jordan_U: ok, Xubuntu is a fresh install, so formating it would do a lot of damage. So I only need to create a / partition for the new install? How do i set my mount points, I can't have two / directories, can I? [09:43] aptitude is preferred over apt-get, because aptitude does dependency resolution [09:43] uLinux, cheers. What would then be required for a working alsa system? [09:43] wouldn't [09:43] Jordan_U: ok thanks! :) [09:43] !aptitude [09:43] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [09:43] TheG0blin: You're welcome. [09:44] supernicko, speakers? [09:44] cjae: not sure... maybe you need to remove it, then install it again? [09:44] how do i enable the multiverse repository ? [09:44] it showsE: Unable to locate package install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [09:44] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz' [09:44] anyone have knowledge of kernel conflict resolution? [09:44] n2diy: Each install has its own /etc/fstab and no idea what partitions the other is using or how. [09:44] supernicko: I just removed pulseaudio, but i miss Sound preferences, where you can change theme sounds etc [09:44] Gnea: Im not sure it reinstalls .conf and that may be why it will not start [09:45] yes, like it's said: "Aptitude has super cow powers" [09:45] asish, are you running from live cd? [09:45] Tried to upgrade my server from 8.04 to 10,04 using "sudo do-release-upgrade -d", and now it wont start.

I can't seem to get skype to play nice though with pulseaudio [09:45] Gnea: btw aptitude doesnt come installed in Maverick [09:45] no im not running livecd [09:46] i have installed as dual boot [09:46] cjae: might need to make sure everything gets purged then: sudo apt-get purge samba [09:46] n2diy: So when you do the second install there will be no indication that sda4 (or whatever you selected to be /home on the first install) is a /home partition at all, it will just show up as an ext4 partition and you will need to specify how it will be used in the second system. [09:46] asish: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:46] Jordan_U: ok, I aborted the Ubuntu inlstall because the manual partitioner removed / and /home from the Xubuntu partitions, they were still there, just the mount points were gone. [09:46] asish: after you install restart firefox [09:46] uLinux: ah, didn't know that, weird [09:47] n2diy: That's normal, because the second install will have no concept of the way those partitions are used by the first. [09:47] asish: try this sudo apt-get install gsfonts gsfonts-x11 flashplugin-nonfree [09:47] it shows command not found [09:48] Jordan_U: ok, so when I install Ubuntu, I just set up the / partition, and /home and swap will be shared by both?

[10:23] So do you have a clue Gnea [10:23] Scarra3: yes, but if no one is aware of the issue or doesn't know how to fix it, then you're better off asking in both places and maybe someone will find the time to do so [10:23] QQi, ping that hostname [10:24] Gnea: Would you mind sharing then so I can get this problem figured out [10:24] Scarra3: no I do not, that's why I'm suggesting you get a bit more aggressive in the number of places you ask. 10.10 is brand new and is full of problems.

[10:25] Gnea: Oh sorry I miss read your comment I thought you said you knew sorry for miss understanding and thanks for the suggestion [10:25] Scarra3: no problem, best of luck [10:25] Jordan_U, so use unetbootin to put iso to install usb, then install onto other usb stick?

The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [10:27] Gnea: in that case "stable" is subjective.. for me not stable = beta [10:27] uLinux: pretty much.

[11:19] brandoney, maybe virus? [11:19] Gnea: 9.04 runs noticeably slower [11:19] camer0n_, so the ram is not enough? i'm researching.. [11:19] <_F-117> Gnea: lol [11:19] 100KB I thought I was running a torrent [11:19] mondova: that's likely due to the GUI you're using. if you didn't use gnome, and used something else, like xfce or e17, it might run a bit nicer [11:20] yakup, i suppose you could run from a livecd, connecting to a server to run everything else. [11:20] Gnea: thanks i'll try xfce [11:20] I am a web developer so I would be using firefox, gimp and playing music all at same time. And then the pc gets hung and very slow even if I use Xubuntu. [11:20] yakup, livecd only requires ram as well... no storage though?

[11:23] !repeat | babu [11:23] babu: 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/ [11:23] babu: sorry, got disconnected [11:23] Gnea: no response? [11:23] mondova: yeah, not sure what relevance that has to anything [11:23] camer0n_, my hdd is burnt and i can't buy a hard drive in the near future, so i want to use my desktop computer as an extension for my laptop. [11:23] Its ok Blakkheim. I respect and thank your concern to help [11:23] Gnea: the point is apt-get hasn't updated openssh since 2008 [11:23] Yay. [11:24] Gnea: and my version of ubuntu stopped being supported this year [11:24] It no longer takes 3 seconds to switch between windows in 10.10 :-) [11:24] mondova: that's why I suggested the backports. they may or may not work. [11:24] It seems the ATI bug fixes go into upstream at last :) [11:24] Gnea: the point is apt-get didn't update openssh even when the version of ubuntu was supported [11:25] Gnea: meaning that is not the reason it didn't update [11:25] My primary problem is in windows I can use firefox,play music and use photoshop at same time without any problem but in ubuntu its quite impossible [11:25] mondova: I have no idea, I'm not a package maintainer. [11:25] Gnea: also i get updates frequently [11:25] Gnea: exactly, you're spouting misinformed nonesense [11:25] nonsense [11:25] This is only reason I still cannot transfer my work environment to Ubuntu [11:26] mondova: no I'm not, it's quite accurate. I told you that 8.10 is no longer supported, which it's not, and even verified it with you using an *official* method. I also gave you a possible method for finding a supported, more up-to-date openssh-server package. if it's not there, then that's not my problem and not my fault. [11:27] babu: what's the problem? too slow? [11:27] babu: Umm... Your having a problem multitasking in ubuntu? [11:27] Gnea: are you listening the point is it didn't update even when 8.10 WAS SUPPORTED [11:27] Yes too much. It gets flaky [11:27] ??? [11:27] babu: define flaky? [11:27] Yes I hope its problem with multitasking [11:27] babu: is this Ubuntu 10.10 ? [11:27] babu: do you have an ATI video card? :-) [11:28] babu: How much ram do you have? How many tabs are open in firefox? [11:28] I mean the mouse disappears when am moving it and reappears due to slowness in processing [11:28] mondova: which, again, was not my problem and not my fault. also, have you bothered to check the changelog for your current version to make sure that the patches DIDN'T actually make it in without the main version # changing? [11:28] 512mb [11:28] yakup, how much ram have you got? [11:28] I have via unichrome vm 800] [11:28] babu: ATI video card? [11:28] babu: What ur proc speed, and do you have things like Desktop effects turned on? [11:28] Gnea: how on earth would i check that? [11:29] mondova, the conversation's getting old -- point being, you need to upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu. Once upgraded, if the included openssh isn't new enough for your purposes, you can upgrade it as well. [11:29] babu: any swap space? (512 isn't much today.. least not when firefox has many tabs open to sites with media...) [11:29] Gnea: and how would i upgrade it as well? [11:29] Gnea: by compiling from source? [11:29] mondova: sorry what are you trying to do? [11:29] mondova, yes [11:29] My video card is not Ati, Its via unichrome vm 800. My processor is amd athlon 2800 [11:29] mondova: upgrade openssh on 8.10 ? [11:29] mondova: by knowing how to use the system itself and not insulting those who are just volunteers helping you that you didn't pay for support from in the first place. [11:29] swap space is 1gb [11:29] JohnFlux: apt-get won't update openssh and it hasn't since 2008 even though 8.10 stopped being supported april 2010 [11:30] Gnea: you're spreading misinformaiton. the reasons you stated are not the reason it did not update [11:30] mondova: and you need an updated version openssh? [11:30] mondova: am I? check your facts and your sources again. [11:30] I have a laptop with no other ethernet interface than a wireless card (ie. no cable). I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and i cannot make the netcard work...itsimply does not detect any networks even though i know there are some around. I think there is some problem with the driver. Is there any way i can see the chipset of the wireless card in that laptop, find the correct driver using another computer, download it, transfer [11:30] it using usb and install it on the laptop? [11:30] In my graphics card the desktop effects are defaultly not supported and cannot be enabled ever [11:30] JohnFlux: yes. its 4.7 way out of date [11:30] camer0n_, 4 gigs of ram and a quad cpu i think it'll help me with intense operations i make during graphic processing [11:30] !attitude | mondova [11:30] mondova: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [11:30] mondova: you could change your /etc/apt/sources to the latest ubuntu version [11:31] Gnea: what is the reason it didn't update since 2008 then? [11:31] mondova: and then _just_ install openssh [11:31] mondova: then switch your sources back again [11:31] !attitude | Gnea [11:31] Gnea: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [11:31] mondova: I've already explained why. It's not my fault you refuse to accept it. [11:31] JohnFlux: nice thanks mate [11:31] JohnFlux, mondova that is not a viable solution, that can wreck the installation completely [11:31] babu: May I PM you? Too much scrolling in the main channel. [11:31] mondova: it usually works :-D if it tries to update your entire system, then cancel :-D [11:32] O sure diamondcite [11:32] Gnea: you have NOT explained why it didn't update since 2008 when the distro version is supported until 2010. if you did pls quote it [11:32] #c [11:32] JohnFlux: even if he's being insulting, I don't believe that breaking his system is a proper response. [11:32] mondova: but if it only wants to upgrade a few packages, it's probably fine [11:32] thanks JohnFlux [11:32] mondova: np [11:32] mondova: I don't have to, now go learn how to utilize /usr/share [11:33] Gnea: you are a dribbling piece of shit. you keep saying 8.10 isn't supported as the reason [11:33] THAT IS NOT THE REASON [11:33] mondova: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:33] !language | mondova [11:33] mondova: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:33] mondova: your language is unacceptable, stop it [11:33] !caps | mondova [11:33] mondova: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [11:33] mondova: to be safe, you could write down the list of packages that it installs. If it screws up, just remove those packages and reinstall (with the apt/sources.conf pointing to the 8.10 repos) [11:33] mondova: seriously dude, get a grip [11:33] mondova: your attitude needs to calm down towards users, please [11:33] Gnea: easy, lets move it on now, [11:33] ikonia: to be fair, people do seem to be baiting him [11:33] yakup, you should be set :) there should be some live studio cds out there some where too [11:34] yakup, good luck :) [11:34] ikonia: gnea is intentionally misleading newcomers including myself [11:34] ikonia: how is that helpful for the community [11:34] * Gnea throws his hands in the air [11:34] mondova: I'm sorry, I don't see him missleading you [11:34] mondova: what exactly is the problem ? [11:34] mondova, ikonia he is not...he is simply stating that your version of ubuntu (8.10) is not supported, therefor we can't really offer any suggestions except to upgrade your installation and see if your problem is solved...if not, we'll be glad to help [11:35] camer0n_, thank you, i'm contacting a specialist friend... [11:35] ikonia: he keeps referring to 8.10 being unsupported when this problem has been since 2008 [11:35] that is clearly not the reason [11:35] mondova: I'm sorry, but I have been very patient and have tried to listen and provide you with the answers you are seeking. You have been nothing but rude, unappreciative and have even stooped to calling me names. [11:35] mondova: that doesn't change the fact that 8.10 is currently unsupported, you should look to upgrae to current supported versions [11:36] Gnea, I'd just let it go...it'll get worked out. Carry on with your support :) [11:36] gnea have some iced tea or something first =) [11:36] mondova: just being "supported" doesn't mean it has the latest packages up to that point [11:36] she_dyed: ha, just polished off some green tea, thanks :) [11:36] JohnFlux: why not? [11:36] mondova: the reason you've not had any updates from 2008 on sshd is because there hasn't been a package update, now that 8.10 is not supported there won't be any additional updates [11:36] mondova: openssh would have _only_ been upgraded if there was a serious security flaw [11:36] gnea you're welcome, i was 'been there done that' [11:36] hello. is it possible to ls files owned by a particular user? [11:37] ikonia: right thankyou. so why was gnea suggesting that was the reason there was no update? [11:37] ikonia: when it clearly wasn't true [11:37] deadroot: "find" has an option for that [11:37] JohnFlux: by upgraded you mean in the packages? [11:37] deadroot: man find [11:37] mondova: because it's true [11:37] mondova: right [11:37] mondova: think about what you just said. [11:37] ikonia: you are as stupid as Gnea. please uninstall ubuntu you don't deserve to use it [11:37] mondova: a.) ssh recieved few updates in general as it's quite secure b.) 8.10 is not supported so there won't be any more updates [11:38] JohnFlux: thanks [11:39] I have a laptop with no other ethernet interface than a wireless card (ie. no cable). I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and i cannot make the netcard work...itsimply does not detect any networks even though i know there are some around. I think there is some problem with the driver. Is there any way i can see the chipset of the wireless card in that laptop, find the correct driver using another computer, download it, transfer [11:39] it using usb and install it on the laptop? [11:40] Diverdude: you can check for the chipset/model using lspci [11:40] hi everybody: Can anybody tell me what these dependency problems mean and how I can fix them: http://hpaste.org/40892/upgrade ? Would be great if anyone could help [11:42] blakkheim: thanks again that did fix the problem [11:42] btw, does anybody happen to know if anything was changed recently with the packages? today, when i reinstalled ubuntu 9.04 and copied over the apt-get archives that i have stored locally, apt-get wanted to download an additional 190MB of archives. normally it didn't need to download anything as i had everything it needed [11:42] hello all - I've askes a few times this.. Why my samba shares can no longer be seen in ' Places > Network' - I have to manually input them always? [11:43] so gnome-keyring is driving me nuts [11:43] it doesn't seem to want to store the passphrase to my ssh private key, which i understand it is supposed to do [11:43] tgies: I may have learnt a valuable lession here [11:44] i further understand that ssh-add is then supposed to automatically load that key on login, which it also doesn't seem to want to do [11:44] tgies: are you expecting a popup to ask you for your passphrase [11:44] can i open a virtual network interface which is just an throttled wrapper for another network interface? [11:44] ikonia: i think? [11:44] tgies: hang on, I've recently done a ton of detail on this [11:45] I thought ssh-add was supposed to have found my keys in ~/.ssh on login, said "oh hey, i should load these", loaded them into the agent, prompted me for my passphrase, stored it in gnome-keyring, and never asked again [11:45] instead i have to manually run ssh-add [11:45] tgies: hang on [11:45] and provide my passphrase (at terminal; ssh-askpass never happens) [11:45] sure [11:46] ikonia: do you feel like parroting anymore mindless information in your abject ignorance of the facts? ssh4.7-2008, ubuntu 8.10-2010. these are the facts. spouting unrelated rubbish about 8.10 being out of date post april 2010 is mindless. [11:46] tgies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/578035 [11:46] why not parrot it once more to give yourself the illusion of being useful [11:47] i need to reinstall kernel modules, how do i do that? (to roll back som wifi drivers i misconfigured) [11:48] ikonia: oh great [11:48] yeah, i did a lot of googling [11:48] tgies: took me a lot of effort to get that info, but it fixed it for me [11:48] and what i found seemed to suggest that this was just broken [11:48] reading [11:48] guys,what other burning software for ubuntu? [11:48] what is the modules package for the kernel named for ubuntu 10.10 ? [11:48] since the modules and the core are seperate [11:49] tgies: that documentation is pretty hard to find, so it does look like it's broken until you find out the real info [11:49] hello [11:50] can you see what im writing? [11:50] ikonia: see, i ran into another mention that you had to have the pub key too [11:50] but here's the thing: I do [11:50] :| [11:50] tgies: check the permissions on it, that matters too [11:50] what should they ought to be [11:51] i need to reinstall the kernel modules, not only the core... how do i do that easelly ? [11:51] tgies: they need to be in ~/.ssh, have 600 permissions, and the public key needs to be $name_of_private_key.pub [11:53] Is there any problem with installing gcc-3.4.6 with --prefix=/usr/local? Should I use /opt instead? [11:53] Hello, i wonder how i reinstall my kernel modules, since a apt-get install --reinstall dont install the modules, just the core [11:53] bobthemilkman: it doesn't matter [11:54] Installing it into /usr/local won't cause any conflicts later on with, say, /usr/local/lib and choosing the correct version of a library? [11:55] bobthemilkman: if you do --prefix=/usr/local it will use /usr/local/lib, it will only conflict with things that share that path [11:55] Half of my system uses that path for stuff from gcc-4.4 === Auv5 is now known as Auv5[Away] [11:55] bobthemilkman: it shouldn't gcc 4 should be in /usr [11:55] bobthemilkman: not /usr/local [11:56] Oh really? Great.

[11:57] Typically everything I install from source I put into /usr/local (except for things compiled with icc which go into /intel, my own special deviation from standard filesystem structure).

[12:51] she_dyed, so if i use -d flag where is the package then stored? [12:51] grid_: /dev/sda3 is a device, what you can cd is usually a directory, so you can 'cd /media/Data', in fact you cd /dev/sda3 [12:51] sorry I got disconnected [12:51] grid_: or you can run: nautilus /media/Data [12:51] Diverdude: usually /var/cache/apt/archive take a look around, [12:51] thanks [12:52] grid_: you cd /media/whatever not cd /dev/ANYTHING [12:52] does somebody have Orange Switzerland's current apn and network id for Internet Everywhere Young?

[12:53] bonjour [12:53] hi houeibib [12:53] i wasn't aware i didn't try cd /media/Data before [12:53] grid_: the device is mounted to the mouunt point, so you access the mount point, not the device [12:55] ciao [12:55] Diverdude: the question is, would 10.10 need something ancient better check those links from Dr_Willis [12:56] I thought the b43 drivers were included/replaced by the sta drivers these days.. but i dont have a laptop with those drivers any more [12:57] thats the thing Diverdude [12:57] HOLA, ¿CÓMO HAGO PARA ENTRAR A ALGÚN CANAL EN ESPAÑOL?
