[00:00] lee: if i manually edit that, will it screw anything up? and how does it generate the dynamic info like memory usage and other things? [00:00] gasull: my understanding (which may be wrong) is that you would generally install a long term support release on a server, and use whichever you like on the desktop [00:00] eTiger13: don't know tbh, I have never cared enough to look into it =) [00:01] lee: OK, thanks [00:03] having a problem getting one of my pc to share, new install 10.04 on eeebox, cant make shares - get an error that says to "add usershare owner only=false", tried that, did nothing [00:05] i have a terrible problem with your operating system that continued to happen and go unfixed since 9.10. the problem is every time I start up, compiz or not, the OS freezes and I cannot do anything. [00:05] bpjuggalo: computer type? [00:06] Compaq Persio with Intel GMA 950 graphics card, 2GB of RAM. [00:06] bpjuggalo: what does dmesg say? anything to indicate problems? [00:06] that's the thing, i can't even look into it. nothing specific ever came up, it just... freezes. [00:07] i need to download this file http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml. i started downloading it with chrome but ubuntu froze so the download is half done. i can't restart it in chrome and the torrent of it makes transmission and rtorrent freeze. how can i download it?? [00:07] bpjuggalo: have you tried booting to live cd and looking that way? [00:07] occasionally my firefox shows some images as just noise, any ideas why? It appears to happen only on large images, and more so when they are not in html [00:07] Hi, I enabled compiz in Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. For some reason my terminal window is transparent now even though the transparency is turned off in the terminal profile options. I am trying to disable the transparency. Any ideas? [00:07] message144: make sure your looking at the right profile? [00:07] mkaay, I only have one profile [00:08] message144: one and default? or just the default? [00:08] mkquist, just default [00:08] mkquist, the funny thing is that if i enable transparency in the terminal profile options, it becomes even more transparent [00:09] i need to download this file http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml. i started downloading it with chrome but ubuntu froze so the download is half done. i can't restart it in chrome and the torrent of it makes transmission and rtorrent freeze. how can i download it?? [00:10] Hi. I have lost /etc/init.d/hal What recreates it? (installing hal or dpkg-reconfigure hal doesn't) Is that service needed (hald)? [00:10] Can anyone tell me where the the users/passwords for Samba are stored in Ubuntu? [00:10] Hello all. I am setting up my first print server and was told to install cupsys, but an apt-get install cupsys returns Unable to locate package cupsys. Any ideas? [00:11] does ubuntu create a backup partition whenever you install it .. and what file extension would it be [00:12] delinquentme: it doesn't [00:12] hey im running 10.10, I'm using gnome and i have amarok installed... it plays like 3 seconds of a song really fast [00:13] delinquentme: right now I'm using rdiff-backup but I want to switch to backintime. I've read good things about it. [00:13] does ubuntu have a defrag option? [00:13] i think im gonna go back to windows. nothing on linux works and it crashes far more than windows [00:13] delinquentme, linux doesn't need defrag :) [00:13] and noone seems to know how to fix anything [00:13] haha i was waiting for someone to say that ... really it just doesnt fragment huh?? [00:14] delinquentme: you don't need it. Linux takes care of having your data defragmented, unlike Windows [00:14] goltoof, ^ [00:14] goltoof: yes it does [00:14] I'm trying to install Snorby on Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I run this command "rake snorby:setup RAILS_ENV=production" I get an error "Missing the Rails 2.3.2 gem. Please `gem install -v=2.3.2 rails". I think I installed RoR ok, but apparently I didn't, any suggestions? [00:14] thats bad ass :D [00:14] thanks guys!! [00:14] hello has someone found a fix for mic on the asus eee 1005px?? [00:14] i thought u still needed it for NTFS partitions [00:14] Sean93: maybe you can be more specific [00:14] what port do i have to set up my vnc server [00:14] Sean93, less someone else chimes in i guess it's my word against yours [00:15] Sean93: I mean re: your problems with apps crashing. [00:15] what port do i have to use to set up my vnc server [00:15] whatever port you want Boysen? [00:15] to use to set up my vnc server [00:15] gasull: i need to download this file http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml. i started downloading it with chrome but ubuntu froze so the download is half done. i can't restart it in chrome and the torrent of it makes transmission and rtorrent freeze. how can i download it?? [00:15] Has anybody managed to get Google Earth installed on Ubuntu 10.10? [00:15] how do I add a user picture, I am using xubuntu 10.04, can't get any help on the xubuntu channel [00:16] Sean93, rephrase the question [00:16] how do i edit my vnc server what is the common files [00:16] how do i edit my config files of my vnc [00:17] Sean93: wget http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml [00:17] Sean93: I use deluge for torrents and works pretty well [00:17] 1. why does this torrent make every torrent program freeze? [00:17] 2. how can i download the file using the 9GB i have already downloaded? [00:17] Just go through control panel thing, sorry new to ubuntu Boysen, but I have seen the port number specified [00:17] is there any sort of command that will display ifconfig similar to ipconfig on windows? i want gateway, ipv4, subnet, and mac listed [00:17] null__, yes, it had some trouble, but there is a ppa out there someone's watching [00:17] if a profile path has been set to /home/samba/profiles how could a profile be stored at /home//profile? because this path i wanna change instead [00:18] Sean, speaking from windows world, most torrent clients will verify the file before downloading more pieces of it [00:18] what is a ppa? [00:18] Sean93: also, to continue a download from the command line: wget -c http://example.com/foo/bar [00:18] sympt0m: ifconfig displays that [00:18] sympt0m: also « ip a » [00:19] switch10_: that just downloads i file called "download_63072.shtml" not the file i want [00:19] erUSUL, ip a? how would the command look? [00:19] anyone ever installed Ruby on Rails in Unbuntu Server 10.04? [00:19] sympt0m: well for gateaway you need « route -n » or « ip route » [00:19] I am looking to remove a program named Better Privacy that I downloaded recently. Where do I go to find this program and remove it? [00:19] gasull: can you give my the exact command including url? [00:19] sympt0m: just like that « ip a » === null__ is now known as SpeedDaemon [00:20] i've added a dns entry and i can ping it from everywhere except the machine it's pointing to...what the hell could be going on? [00:20] Gasull, hes downloading a torrent, he needs to reset the torrent in his torrent client I think [00:20] or force a check [00:20] thanks erUSUL [00:20] Sean93: I don't know the URL. The command is wget -c http://... [00:20] colin__, this is a browser add on. go to "tools -> add ons" in the firefox menu [00:20] Sean93: you need to give us the exact url. I gave you the command to download the file the url you gave us pointed to [00:20] Sean93: you should know the URL you're downloading from [00:20] that download will only get him the .torrent file itself I assume [00:21] http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml. [00:21] goltoof: no difference with smplayer. [00:21] look on there [00:21] gasull, that will only download the .shtml file of that page [00:21] i have tried but i cant get wget to work [00:21] thanks velko - i found it [00:22] Sean93: install the program links2 and browse to that url and try downloading it that way. [00:22] goltoof: as I said, Sean93 should know the exact URL [00:22] SpeedDaemon, deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free like this [00:22] Sean93: if your trying to do a torrent..... [00:22] etheretic1, too bad. i've had better luck playing mkv with smplayer than others. must be a codec pack out there, or try converting mkv to another format [00:22] goltoof: aye. [00:23] gasull, even still, that's only downloading the torrent file [00:23] gasull: i can't find the url, why don't you find it for me if its so easy? [00:23] nobody said it was easy [00:23] Silly Question #78: Does Ubuntu have the ability to log into a network utilizing Active Registry? [00:23] nobody said it would be this hard lol [00:23] specially if it doesn't exist [00:23] goltoof, Sean93: doesn't that page offer torrent downloading as well as direct downloading? If not, forget the wget command [00:23] does anyone know how to make the text size smaller in empathy on ubuntu 10.10 please? [00:23] uRock: Active directory ?

On the other hand, now, my problems are... whenever I open Catalyst Control Center, the computer restarts.. or gdm I'm not sure... Also, my AWS Navigator shows on the new monitor now instead of my default one [00:24] i have music playing threw speakers/headphones at the same time..is there a way to stop it ubuntu linux? [00:24] erUSUL, yes active directory [00:24] I accidentally specified a "User Defined Session" and can't do anything within Ubuntu. I have auto-login set up with no alternative accounts, so how can I change the session back to Ubuntu Desktop before login? [00:24] Sean93, are other torrents freezing TX ? [00:25] goltoof: no [00:25] There was no direct download on that page I saw gasull , but I didn't look real hard, just the torrent link hehe [00:26] ls [00:26] Praxi, Sean93: then my advice is to install deluge (sudo apt-get install deluge) and use deluge with that torrent [00:26] Sean93, do you see where the partial file is downloaded? [00:27] gasull: i tried deluge but the torrent wouldn't start. i just sat at checking 0.0% [00:27] anyone know how to create a folder that points to '/' [00:27] goltoof: yes [00:27] it just** [00:27] What is the name for CUPs? apt-get cant find cupsys [00:27] Hello, Here is my problem helpers: I have downloaded ubuntu 10.10 3 times and burned it 3 times and every time I try to install my partition with windows, well the in the live cd gparted won't start.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [00:28] Sean93, if you try resuming the torrent in another client then it should resume the download. If the torrent keeps freezing your client it may be a corrupted .torrent, in which case try finding another [00:28] Aemaeth I already read all that [00:28] Sean93: maybe there are no seeders for the torrent? [00:28] anon33__, can't you just log out? and if you are automatically logged in again - to disable the automatic log in before logging out? on the gdm login screen you'll be able to change your session again [00:28] !ruby [00:28] Sean93: use rtorrent to download that file if you want to see what the problem is. another gui will just freeze [00:28] gasull, pretty sure that wouldn't freeze the client... it just won't download [00:28] velko: when i boot up, i'm automatically logged in with a black screen. how might i log out of that? [00:28] Aemaeth: It didnt help at all. I found the drivers, but it wont do anything without cups and none of those links help with that [00:28] was worth a try lol [00:29] switch10_: it freezes rtorrent aswell [00:29] velko: i can't see anything to disable the automatic login once i'm logged in.. [00:29] hey there, just wondering if there is a log for the cron [00:29] Sean93: something is wrong on there end [00:29] Sean93: what errors? [00:29] one of my crons isnt working [00:29] sudo apt-get cups is the common unix printing system server; apt-cache search cups | more <--this will show you almost anything related to cups [00:29] no errors just completly freezes then i have to kill it and it turns to a zombie process, then i have to reboot [00:30] how do i resume the direct download? [00:30] anon33__, you may disable the automatic login by manually editing the file /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf (provided you can switch to a virtual terminal or ssh to the machine) [00:30] Sean93, which are you doing .torrent or direct download? big difference [00:30] Sean93: remove rtorrent or whatever you have from your system, install deluge, download [00:30] Thanks for the help aemaeth, that looks like its working. Scored a couple free laser printers from work and putting them to good use [00:30] velko: and what variables might i need to change in that file? [00:31] Anyone ever installed Snorby? [00:31] goltoof: i have tried both but i would like to finish the download by direct download [00:31] velko, he should be able to do it from recovery mode? [00:31] what is pidgin version from ubuntu 10.10? [00:31] anon33__, AutomaticLoginEnable=true [00:31] velko: i can boot into recovery and edit that file if it will cancel automatic login [00:31] is it possible to associate a hostname and port to a friendly name ? [00:31] velko: change to false? [00:31] anon33__, yes [00:32] Is there a way to disable the transparent terminal in the Ubuntu Dust GTK theme? [00:32] velko: i'll give it a shot - thank you! [00:32] Sean93: have to use a different site for direct download, that one you linked only offers torrent [00:32] goltoof, i don't know. i don't use ubuntu [00:32] for example I want m6300 to go to urthmover.ath.cx:22 and freenas to go to urthmover.ath.cx:2222 [00:32] thoughts? [00:32] Praxi: there are direct download links on it aswell [00:32] Sean93: do you understand the difference between direct download and bittorrent? In the page you posted there are several links to direct download from different servers, as well as the torrent download [00:32] hi, i installed entrance, and when it configures i choose it a display manager instead of gdm. till, gdm keeps running. how do i disable gdm.? btw, im using gdm2 [00:32] Repaste sorry if someone saw it and is working on it: Hello, Here is my problem helpers: I have downloaded ubuntu 10.10 3 times and burned it 3 times and every time I try to install my partition with windows, well the in the live cd gparted won't start.

[00:33] gasull: yes i understand the dieffernce [00:33] Nattgew: it doesnt convert them by default? [00:33] Sean93: OK. So if you want to do it with the torrent, first remove rtorrent from your system or whatever the program you were using [00:33] Nattgew: It should convert them to mp3 [00:33] Hello guys/girls!!

[00:34] gasull: yes one sec i have to reboot [00:34] n [00:34] Balls [00:34] Sean93: ok [00:35] switch10_ - i know it should, but it was giving an error "None of the tracks to be transferred are in a format supported by the target device, and no encoders are available for the supported formats." [00:35] but suddenly it works now [00:35] Sean93: Praxi suggest you do it with direct download using wget. The command will be: wget -c http://www.gamershell.com/download.html?id=63072&mirror=100tb-1&cat=demo&filename=Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip&ts=1288136010&auth=03m8mtu1 But it's 13GB, so I suggest you use bittorrent. [00:36] that one won't work gasull, it makes a key, the key gets expired [00:36] he has to do it himself, and copy the link address [00:37] has one of those wait for 20 seconds then you can download type things [00:37] gaulle: sean93 is still rebooting I think [00:37] Praxi: OK. Anyway I don't think he read the last thing I said b/c he left the room :) [00:37] hehe ya, not sure why he thinks a direct download will work if he can't torrent it :) [00:37] Praxi, Smittie3900w: yes, Sean93 might be still rebooting [00:38] its a windows program, not sure why hes even bothering trying to dl it on a nix box [00:38] does anyone have any idea why my firefox sometimes displays images as noise?

[00:43] Praxi, ruby -v [00:43] i'll try right now [00:43] My Nibbles is broken on two machines! [00:43] Praxi: I think you should try a ruby channel. I'm usually at #python and get good help there. [00:44] awesome thanks goltoof and gasull [00:44] Hey everyone, I have a quick question: I've recently started developing my first package on Ubuntu. Is it guaranteed to work on most other distros or will I need to tailor to each? [00:44] for the unity environment, is there a shortcut key for the upper left ubuntu button? [00:44] gasull install the wine-1.2 package after you uninstall wine [00:44] Sean93: you know the program/game you're downloading is for Windows, right? How do you plan to run it? [00:44] TeruFSX: thanks. let's see [00:45] gasull: wine [00:45] Anyone else having issues with (G?)Nibbles? [00:46] CajunTechie, which other distros you have in mind? it won't work on any rpm distro. and (depending on the package dependencies) will most probably not work on debian and derivatives. if you mind ubuntu derivatives - it will most probably work [00:46] gasull: also, although apt-get says transmission isnt installed it is, how do i remove it? [00:46] Sean93: search at http://www.winehq.org/search if you can actually run it on wine [00:46] gasull: i already checked :L [00:47] Sean93: if it isn't installed, you don't have to remove it [00:47] :P* [00:47] Sean93: cool. now then install deluge : sudo apt-get install deluge [00:47] gasull: it is installed though, i can still run it === Out`Of`Control is now known as Viper [00:47] velko: Hmmm...so even creating a metapackage for the other distros won't make it work then? I was thinking RHEL, Fedora, and maybe OpenSUSE [00:47] just install deluge likes hes said quite often now? :) [00:47] Sean93: close transmission. if it's uninstalled you won't be able to run it again [00:48] does anyone have any experience with the application "ettercap"? [00:48] CajunTechie, what kind of package do you create? a deb archive or some gzipped/bzipped source code package? maybe the misunderstanding is on my side... [00:48] gasull: i just did run it again [00:48] nattgew I am starting gparted from the livecd, it looks like its starting then stops and dissapears. thanks any suggestions? [00:49] hmm if i do a gem -v says 1.3.7 [00:49] fennecfox_ - try running it from a terminal and seeing if it gives any errors [00:49] TeruFSX: Thanks. I was able to downgrade Wine with your help :) [00:49] I just edited some drivers following a tutorial to fix my usb wifi - although now my internal wifi (notebook) does not show up in iwconfig, but it does in lsusb .. any ideas? [00:49] bluetooth works though [00:49] velko: Sorry, got my terms mixed. I'm basically creating software but I've not packaged it yet. I'm open to creating different packages for different distros. Right now, I'm looking @ debs but it looks like I might have to create individual packages? [00:49] Sean93: sudo apt-get remove --purge transmission [00:50] does anyone have any experience with the application "ettercap"? [00:50] CajunTechie, yes you'll have ot [00:50] CajunTechie, to* [00:50] Package transmission is not installed, so not removed [00:50] sympt0m: just a bit. Fire your question [00:50] velko: Thank you. That's kind of what I thought but was hoping to avoid. Oh well, not too tough I take it right? [00:50] query gasull [00:50] Sean93: sudo apt-get remove --purge transmission-common [00:50] oops [00:51] i forget, how do i sudo from gnome-do? [00:51] what package is needed for rhythmbox to transcode ogg to mp3 for an ipod? [00:52] ok, that removed it. incase i want to install it again do i use apt-get install transmission-common? [00:52] anyone? [00:52] CajunTechie, package creation is not hard. what can be tricky are the dependencies. if the libraries you use are not present trough the official distro channel/repsitory - you have to package them as well. or if they are present but under different names in the different distros - you have to tweak your package also... [00:53] StaticShock - gksu [00:53] velko: Yuck. Oh well, I might focus only on Ubuntu for a bit then move to other platforms as I go. Eventually, I want to support the four I mentioned but Ubuntu is primary right now. [00:53] gasull: ok, that removed it. incase i want to install it again do i use apt-get install transmission-common? [00:54] yes [00:54] SEan93: yes [00:54] Sean93: deluge is installed, right? [00:55] gasull: yes i just installed it and it is checking the file now [00:55] CajunTechie, it is possible that you'll get help from volunteers for the packages. just concentrate on your software, the other stuff is easier ;) good luck! [00:55] Sean93: if not, install it. Afterwords you should be able to download the torrent with deluge from Firefox. Try it [00:55] /j #ubuntu [00:55] velko: Thank you for your help. Made it a lot clearer for me! [00:57] hello [00:57] yes [00:57] hi [00:57] can I get some help [00:57] noob42: just ask your question [00:58] I can't figure out how to share files in maverick [00:58] im new to linux [00:58] okay, what do you mean to share files? [00:58] share them to whom? [00:58] Where can I make Gvim (instead of Gedit) make the default text editor/view when clicking on it on desktop of Nautilus? It's not in "preferreded applications" or "File Management Preferences" ? [00:58] anyone using x11vnc? it seems determined to deny my LAN client no matter what I try. using -listen and -allow with explicit addresses [00:58] me, locally [00:59] i right clicked on my folder and hit share [00:59] but I dont know how to access it from another computer [01:00] in another windows computer, it should show up in your workgroup, or however windows does it these days. on a mac, you should be able to browse to it as well in finder [01:00] Hey guys probably a dumb question. I'm running Lucid with compiz and I'd like to get my "windows key+d" combo to pop me to the desktop (like in windows) anyone know if this is possible. I looked through a bunch of options screens but couldn't find anything [01:00] Chell: try this: sudo select-editor [01:00] im using maverick for both comps [01:01] :'( [01:02] Hi [01:02] I'm having a real issue with bug 665947 ("open with" options not saving). Could anyone assist? [01:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/665947 [01:02] bobfcincinnati: check out compizconfig-settings-manager - you should be able to set your keyboard shortcuts in there [01:03] my login window is not showing on my primary monitor. [01:03] bobfcincinnati: just be careful if you change your compiz settings somewhere else, you could overwrite your key shortcut. [01:04] gasull, It doesn't seem to work (maybe just on maverick?). After altering it, when I do select-editor again, it says the default (nano? I never selected that) is unchanged. [01:05] sammy: got it thanks, the default was ctrl+alt+d [01:05] sammy: which would have been i suppose if I had known what it was :P [01:06] I have recently installed two copies of ubuntu, one on my laptop and one on my desktop. I would like to access the files on my laptop from my desktop. They are both on the same network and I attempted to share a folder using the sharing options dialogue box. I don't know how to get to those files on my desktop. [01:06] Chell: I think it depends on the filetype. right-click on a file you want to open with GVim, then choose what program to open it with -> GVim [01:06] bobfcincinnati: there might be somewhere else to change the very basic ones, a gnome control panel somewhere. I just know compizconfig-settings-manager has shortcuts for *everything* [01:06] " denying client: 192.168.0.65 does not match 192.168.0.65" this has to be one of my favorite error messages ever. I'm stumped. [01:06] my login window is not showing on my primary display. does anyone have any ideas how to fix this. It seems to plain and simply go to the secondary display and I can't figure out how to change that [01:07] sammy: yea I figured it was a gnome setting, but there it was in compiz [01:07] electrofreak: can you set the primary monitor in the monitor settings panel? the one that lets you change resolutions and arrange multiple monitors [01:08] my wireless won't connect anymore, and gives the error in syslog "Association request to the driver failed" anyone know how to fix it? [01:08] I have recently installed two copies of ubuntu, one on my laptop and one on my desktop. I would like to access the files on my laptop from my desktop. They are both on the same network and I attempted to share a folder using the sharing options dialogue box. I don't know how to get to those files on my desktop. [01:09] gasull: the torrent download 1.2MB of data and then went to 0.0 KiB/s and has stayed there, what should i do? [01:09] sammy, I have the nvidia drivers, so using the nvidia program... yes, I set my left as my primary. my console seem to obey that, and so does gnome. But my login window is on the right monitor for some reason [01:10] electrofreak: check out this bug: 395314 on launchpad [01:10] I have recently installed two copies of ubuntu, one on my laptop and one on my desktop. I would like to access the files on my laptop from my desktop. They are both on the same network and I attempted to share a folder using the sharing options dialogue box. I don't know how to get to those files on my desktop. [01:10] Sean93, if you haven't port forwarded the ports your using for your torrent, your router could be refusing all incoming connections, which could be a problem [01:10] noob42: You could use Ubuntu One for that [01:10] Hello! does anyone have a Nokia N900? [01:11] I'm not sure if its the same gdm version but there's a few workarounds suggested [01:11] noob42, what have you tried? [01:11] Aemaeth: i did forward them but ill go check to make sure [01:11] Sean93, if you're using deluge it will say on the bottom how it's doing with the network [01:11] Right clicking and enabling sharing options on the file i wanted to share [01:11] sammy, thanks. I'lll take a look at it [01:11] so if you don't see a warning then that should be fine and you have some other problem, me guesses [01:11] Aemaeth: where does it say that? [01:12] how about the folder instead? [01:12] noob42: have you found where you can browse the network in the file manager? [01:12] gasull, no, it doesn't. Not even after a save/exit. I'm opening thesame file. [01:13] it should be one of the options under places in the panel at the top [01:13] Sean93, for me: when it's not properly forwarded it will be to the right of the "DHT" connections, also to the right of the speed onthe bottom taskbar if you don't have DHT enabled. "No incomming connections" [01:13] I clicked on where it said network [01:13] Sean93: I tried downloading your torrent and it was working for me. I think you should do what Aamaeth says. You might need to config your router. You would have to do this if you were in Windows too. [01:14] what port should i use? [01:14] hi, my webcam isnt working with ubuntu. how can i fix that? [01:15] noob42, this is really complicated, but if you're looking to do a ubuntu one type solution http://fak3r.com/2009/09/14/howto-build-your-own-open-source-dropbox-clone/ [01:15] Chell: right click on the file, then Properties -> Open with -> Add -> GVim Text Editor [01:16] Chell: Also, right click on the file, then Properties -> Open with -> (select GVim here after having added it to the list) [01:16] Sean93, in the torrentclient's "Network" preferences you have the option to give a range of ports, tell your router to forward that entire range. Then hit the "Test port" button to see if you're good, if green arrow comes up you should be set as far as that, andif you still have problems idk [01:16] i tried to restart deluge to see if that would help but it wont die [01:17] thank you for taking the time to try and help me out, but I just need to get my files from one comp on my network to another, and since ubuntu comes with file sharing options I think I'll find a way to fix this. Also I'm a Noob [01:17] Aemaeth: there is a green arrow [01:17] Sean93, hah, mine freezes at shutdown too... [01:17] Sean93: I dont' know about this, sorry. Ask Aemaeth. [01:17] Aemaeth: how do i kill it? [01:17] Sean93: pkill deluge [01:17] normally if i hit the close button it will give me an option to "Force Quit" [01:18] gasull: that didn't kill it [01:19] i killed it with kill -1 PID but now its a zombie -.- [01:19] kill its parent [01:19] Thanks Anyway, Unholy Terror [01:19] Sean93: top [01:19] does anyone know if it is possible to change the text size in empathy? [01:19] Sean93: run top and kill it with it [01:20] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: how do i find its parent? [01:20] gasull: how do i kill with top? [01:20] Sean93: I meant htop [01:20] Sean93: sudo apt-get install htop [01:20] i have installed steam in wine, and now i am looking for the install files for steam on my hdd. they should (i would think) be under Program Files on the virtual C drive, but the only thing in there is iexplorer so steam runs with all my games and what not, but where are they? [01:20] Sean93, or you might be more comfortable with system monitor? [01:21] Sean93: i suggest looking at the output of pstree -p [01:21] i dont think torrents are the way to go, how do i resume that download with wget? [01:22] Sean93: wget -c [01:22] cmdbbq, that's odd...there has to be a "steam" folder somewhere, have you searched your entire filesystem just in case? mine was in /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/ like you would have thought yours woudl be [01:23] Sean93: browse that page and find the exact link of the file [01:23] Sean93: then use wget -c [01:23] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml here is the link with the mirrors on it. can u try to download the file with wget and then give me the link? i tried this earlier and couldnt get it to work [01:23] yo #ubuntu, ever since i updated to ubuntu 10.04, my sound card no longer shows up at all [01:23] ive been trying to fix this for months with no luck [01:23] my intergrated webcam isnt recongnizedcan someone help me? [01:24] i stopped using linux for a while, but i really like it aside from the sound problems. anyone got any suggestions on where to start? [01:25] newhuis, use google. i got mine working with very little searching [01:25] cant remember exactly what i did though [01:26] Sean93: it resumes just fine with wget -c "http://www.gamershell.com/download.html?id=63072&mirror=cdn&cat=demo&filename=Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip&ts=1288139124&auth=i2ig6xnx" [01:26] !google | Gump [01:26] Gump: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:26] is running a gnome-terminal -e mediatomb the best way to have mediatomb start upon reboot? since it is on a wireless connection and needs to wait for authentication of login or keyring for login? [01:27] speaking of which, why would my sound card disappear when i updated to ubuntu 10.04? [01:27] or can I make the mediatomb daemon pause? [01:27] adding mediatomb to startup list doesnt work either [01:27] Do any of you have a multi-user setup? If so, is there a clean way to reinstall and keep both users? I currently have /home on its own partition and when I reinstall only one account exists, then I create the other and it seems fine, but I feel like this is leaving room for error (such as if the user ID changes due to me getting the order wrong). [01:28] cjae, isn't there already an upstart script for mediatomb? [01:28] cjae, sudo service mediatomb stop/start/restart? [01:28] silent_h, is it possible to do a clean reinstall and leave the folders and files intact? [01:28] alright. SO... what hope do I have of getting Suspend or Hibernate to work on my new computer. 890FX chipset (msi board) [01:28] cause i might just do that, im tired of messing with this soundcard bull [01:28] yeah, everything on /home stays since I only reformat the root partition [01:28] plz can someone help me... I want to mount vhd and vdi disk files on my ubuntu host [01:29] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: when i try that command it downloads a file called "download.html?id=63072&mirror=cdn&cat=demo&filename=Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip&ts=1288139124&auth=i2ig6xnx" [01:29] gump, not avail [01:29] silent_h, once root is reformatted, how do you reinstall ubuntu to the partition? doesnt installing ubuntu format the partition? [01:29] newhuis, try installing a program called "webcam studio" [01:29] arrrghhh: ya but wouldnt I have to issue that manually? [01:29] electrofreak, not every mobo supports it in linux... or perhaps not all mobos are supported by linux. either way you want to look at it. [01:29] hi does anyone know how i can install Qt4 on ubuntu [01:30] yeah but it's the file nevertheless, you can check with "file download.htm....." and see that it's a tar.gz archive [01:30] cjae, yes, but if the service is in rc.X, it'll start automatically unless you're doing something odd with runlevels. [01:30] Gump, I have multiple partitions set up. / is mounted separately from /home - so when I reinstall, I only have it reformat my "/" (root) partition. I then tell it to mount /home on the same partition I used to have it on [01:30] zip archive, i mean [01:30] EeveeTrainer, i know kde uses it... what are you needing just qt for? [01:30] Sean93: just rename after download. The webste is messing up the filename for it [01:30] oh. well damnit. guess i'm gonna have to reformat the whole partition then [01:30] Im looking to override the gnome url handler for ssh:// (by default it mount gvfs), I tried overriding it with gconftool, but that didn't work. Is there a place i can track down how gnome is handling this url scheme? [01:30] Sean93: you could also try and find another location of that file [01:30] Gump, if you don't have multiple partitions set up already, you could copy everything from your /home directory to a backup drive and use that after you reinstall [01:30] i am gonna turn off ubuntu automatic updates for ever. CURSE AUTOMATIC UPDATES [01:30] arrrghhh, yes, I do want to look at it. I'd love to get it to work. Any tips on where I could start to troubleshoot the reason. I have an adaptec RAID card... which I had fears about it causing problems for sleep states. But I'm not sure if that is my problem here or not. [01:31] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: the file should be 13.2GB, i have already downloaded 9.2GB of the file [01:31] silent_h, thanks [01:31] i need qt for a program i'm running ! [01:31] so when you reinstall, you can set up multiple partitions to make it easier for next time [01:31] arrrghhh: so I have to add that to rc.X? [01:31] electrofreak, this is a desktop? not sure then. it works fine on my laptop. [01:31] Gump, want a link to a guide on how to do that, or are you good to go? [01:31] Sean93: ok, if you have the space available, i would suggest to copy those 9.2 GB somewhere, just in case the wget messes up and you end up with an empty download. [01:31] i already have my disk partitioned into a windows partition and a linux one. never thought of spreading my linux install over multiple partitions [01:31] cjae, no i'm saying if it's already there, mediatomb should start automatically. let's start with square one - do you have an /etct/init.d/mediatomb script? [01:31] silent_h, i would like a link if youve got one handy [01:31] I can find one here... [01:31] Sean93: http://aionirc.com/ncpatch/ here i'm also seeing that file [01:32] plz can someone help me... I want to mount vhd and vdi disk files on my ubuntu host [01:32] http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome Gump [01:32] arrrghhh, yes, it's a desktop. I'm aware that linux + suspending/hibernating is very spottily supported... but I'm hopeful I could get such working. [01:32] thank you bastidrazor [01:32] Gump: you're welcome [01:32] electrofreak, well not having your hardware makes it difficult for me to troubleshoot. did you find anyone else in a search that's using that same board? [01:33] electrofreak, unfortunately not many people use suspend/hibernate on desktops methinks. [01:33] arrrghhh: yes cated it and seems to be there [01:33] arrrghhh, what search? I'm asking for starting points to troubleshoot and maybe figure out how to get it working? [01:33] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: alright i will try that one when it finishes copying, thanks [01:33] gump, why? [01:33] Gump, his link was better than what I could quickly find. For what it's worth, here's how much space I gave my partitions: [01:34] cjae, it should start on boot then.... does it not? [01:34] arrrghhh, alright, I'll spend more time on google. Thanks :-) [01:34] arrrghhh: no it doesnt, someone told me there is an issue with it and ubuntu [01:34] ubuntu 10.10 isnt only 64bit is it? [01:34] electrofreak, oh, i figured you would've tried to find someone else online that had the same hw... anyhoo, dmesg, syslog and /var/log/messages are good places for indicators... [01:34] how can i shut down ubuntu --immediately--? [01:34] "/boot" 200mb [01:34] "/" 15GB [01:34] swap 4gb [01:34] "/home" 300gb (or however much space you have left) [01:34] silent_h: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:35] arrrghhh: works just fine if I launch it via cli upon reboot [01:35] cjae, oh? i prefer ps3mediaserver. what are you streaming to? [01:35] EeveeTrainer: sudo shutdown -h now [01:35] Gump, 10.10 is either 32 or 64 bit [01:35] gasull, That did the trick! thanks (sry for late reply) [01:35] arrrghhh: ps3 [01:35] jesus silent_h. my whole hard disk is only like 200gb [01:35] Sean93: wget -c -O "filename" to tell wget to which file it should continue downloading [01:35] littlebearz: what is -h ? [01:35] disk space is cheap ;) [01:35] thoughts on 10.10 vs 10.04 anyone? [01:35] cjae, you NEED to check out ps3mediaserver then my friend. WAY batter than mediatomb. [01:35] EeveeTrainer: read the man page for shutdown .. type man shutdown [01:35] in 10.10 nautilus I can no longer use ~/path in ^l it gives me "currentdir/~/path not found" [01:35] 10.10 seems pretty solid, but I'm still on 10.04 till later this week [01:35] >.< [01:36] arrrghhh: I just am not sure if its my setup or if its an actual bug or something [01:36] meh. 10.10 it is. [01:36] doit [01:36] my intergrated webcam isnt recongnized on ubuntu. can someone help me? [01:36] cjae, seriously. unless mediatomb has made great strides recently, i would ditch it. [01:37] having problems with network startup since upgrade to 10.10. Primary wired interface never comes up. If I manually run dhclient, everything's ok. Any ideas? [01:37] newhuis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam derp? [01:37] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: what is the -O for? [01:37] how new to ubuntu are you newhuis? have you already tried some things? [01:37] EeveeTrainer, even a faster way is sudo init 0 but just make sure you've saved everything, although this is not the recommended way to shutdown but this really does the job! [01:38] plz can someone help me... I want to mount vhd and vdi disk files on my ubuntu host [01:38] Sean93: to tell wget what filename it should save the file to [01:38] Gump, ubuntu's help has a guide on partitioning too (on help.ubuntu.com) [01:38] arrrghhh: I should be able to have both installed so I can see without conflict correct? and I suppose since it is geared towards ps3 then I should not have it edit much like I do to transcode for ps3 [01:38] try using lftp see if it works for you [01:38] in case you wanted even more info [01:38] i know how to partition. my disk is already partitioned. i just didnt think about putting home in a separate partition [01:38] bruceber, huh that's an odd one. anything stick out in /var/log/messages when you boot? [01:39] the main thing is my freaking sound card disappeared. but oh well, i'll just nuke my current install [01:39] cjae, does it all oob. i think you'll be shocked how much easier it is to setup compared to mediatomb. [01:39] got ya [01:39] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: do i put in the location of the file or just the name? [01:39] Gump, theres nothing about integrated cams [01:39] arrrghhh: not really... everything looks fine. drivers properly registered, etc... [01:39] really the only tough decision is how much space to put in each partition so that's why I thought you might want lots of info [01:40] Sean93: if you just enter the filename (without path) then it will be stored in your current directory [01:40] bruceber, i don't use dhcp on my server... is there an upstart script for it? [01:40] newhuis, ...its a webcam. look up if there are drivers for it on your computer manufacturers website [01:40] arrrghhh: in repos? [01:40] so if im in the directory of the file i just need the filename? [01:40] Gump, you think i didnt do that already? this is my last resort [01:40] cjae, i believe it is now. i have a repo that's has the newest bleeding edge version, but i recommend sticking to the stable version to start with. [01:40] newhuis, thats why i asked "have you tried anything yet?" [01:41] arrrghhh: there's nothing in /etc/init.d , though I'd assume that it's supposed to be run when /etc/init.d/networking runs [01:41] arrrghhh: dont see it on 10.10 [01:41] cjae, yea it may not be in the repo's yet. 1 sec. [01:41] arrrghhh: sorry 10.04 [01:41] iirc you need to set up a vloopback device or something like that [01:42] uhm, i am currently rm'ing 140GiB logfiles. Will take about 7 minutes, guess i shouldve just unlinked? [01:42] cjae, this will install everything for you - wget -q --no-check-certificate https://svn.paissad.net/misc/stuffs/install_pms-linux.sh -O - | bash [01:42] Chell: np [01:43] arrrghhh: ok thanks [01:43] velko: i got it to work :D thanks so much for your help. it ended up being /etc/gdm/custom.conf [01:43] Is it possible to upgrade the kernel to have support for "--cmd-owner" in iptables? [01:43] oh god i hate fresh OS installs [01:43] hehe they are always a bit nerve-wracking [01:43] just make sure you have a good backup though and worst case is you lose some free time [01:44] my next few hours are gonna be filled with sudo apt-gets :( [01:44] also, I find it handy to keep a list of all applications I end up installing so that after a new one I get on google docs and copy-paste one big-ol sudo apt-get [01:44] Gump: what happend to aptitude [01:44] aptitude still exists too, but we have choice here ;) [01:45] there are about 32 GiB that i cannot locate with du on this server [01:45] lol i just like using the terminal. no reason in particular [01:45] du is giving me du: cannot access `proc/12357/fd/4' tho [01:46] i like aptitude better, i haven't had as many issues removing applications with it. but there's some things that must be fixed with apt-get. couldn't imagine trying to use just apt lol [01:46] how to tell mplayer to exit on buffer underrun? [01:46] Jygga, /proc is a virtual filesystem. [01:46] fffff.... i hate mplayer [01:46] yes [01:46] but why would there be 32 GiB in there? [01:47] has anyone had any success running divx player on ubuntu instead of mplayer for divx movies? [01:47] Jygga: it's probably basically a placeholder value [01:47] Jygga, it doesn't. [01:47] mplayer is incapable of streaming divx, it seems. and vlc player is just as bad [01:48] vlc works for me. i do most of my media viewing thru mah ps3 tho. [01:48] Gump, how to tell vlc to exit on buffer underrun? [01:48] arrrghhh: says I have to install someting else first [01:48] vlc player gets to a point where it starts buffering and the video just suddenly ends for me. highly frustrating [01:49] uhm okay [01:49] arrrghhh: dpkg-dev [01:49] cjae, huh that script should've done all of it for ya. what is it asking to install? i've never heard of dkpg-dev... can you install that? [01:49] Gump do you have the GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin installed? === slicer_ is now known as s|icer [01:50] sorry, what is the fastest way to shut down ubuntu [01:50] if you don't know, open Software Center, search for it, and install it if it isn't install [01:50] when I maximize a window in 10.10 it covers the top and bottom gnome toolbars. how do I disable that? [01:50] EeveeTrainer the power icon in the upper-right corner [01:50] it opens a menu [01:50] TeruFSX, im doing a fresh install but i will be sure to install it. thanks [01:51] yep, i have it installed [01:52] odd [01:53] arrrghhh: I trust that is a reliable source? [01:54] indeed, see this post [01:54] cjae, http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5589 [01:54] ti acx111, does this wireless chipset work with Ubuntu 10.10 out of the box? === Guest38044 is now known as asig === yairgo_ is now known as yairgo [01:55] JohnTeddy I do not know [01:55] try it! [01:57] arrrghhh: bunch of stuff didnt install :( [01:58] cjae, hmmm... that's unfortunate. i've never used the automatic script. what failed? [01:59] So, when will ubuntu installer stop failing on LVM and proxy support? [01:59] arrrghhh: trying to install what failed [02:00] cjae, ok. sorry... i usually just add the repo, get the gpg key and install pms-linux... [02:00] My issue is SOLVED. Card AND internal gfx show up in lspci now... SHORT ANSWER FOR SOME: If you have an asus board DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy anything with an nvidia chip. Done... [02:00] How do I auto-identify in Smuxi IRC client? [02:00] arrrghhh: not trying to be rude but this doesnt seem much easier, hope pms is substantially better [02:01] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: is used wget -c -O "Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip" http://aionirc.com/ncpatch/Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip but it doesn't seem to be downloading, the curser is just blinking [02:01] so no nvidia video cards unless your asus mb is nvidia too [02:01] cjae, lol i wasn't referring to the installation process unfortunately... and i thought it was in the repo's, just an old version... [02:01] Sean93: let me give it a try [02:02] i have a usb drive; on which I stored my ssh keys for backup; now, how do I overwrite the data on the usb drive? [02:02] Sean93: works here.

But then you should see wget return an error, not just blinking a cursor [02:03] -¤- [02:03] Lol, freenode is closing. [02:03] has anyone else seen where it says the install failed on everything you try to install from the software center [02:03] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: how should i fix it? [02:04] Sean93: did you not accidentally forgot a " at the end of the url? [02:04] isnt freenode closing like closing the internet?? [02:04] wget -c -O "Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip" http://aionirc.com/ncpatch/Aion2.0.0.2_FullInstaller.zip [02:04] Draqul: don't feed the trolls [02:04] that is the exact command i used [02:04] or rather closing freenode requires the internet to be closed first [02:04] the interwebs shuts down? [02:04] seth_g: don't feed the trolls [02:04] hey guys, so when you're writing python for linux, you need the #! at the top. (Well not need, but you know what I mean). Generally, it's #!/usr/bin/python. But I also see (and works equally well in my experience), #!/usr/bin/env python. What is the difference, if any, and why would I chose one over the other? thanks! [02:04] YeTr2: I am not. I know freenode is not closing. [02:04] any thoughts on everything saying the install failed even if it works? [02:05] the command is fine it's just the servers not responding [02:05] YeTr2, i literally didnt know it was a troll i was worried for a sec [02:05] Draqul: not so intelligent people might think otherwise. [02:05] Sean93: can you test if you can download that file in a browser? just to see that your internet connection is in order [02:05] or are you downloading it remotely [02:05] YeTr2: Aren't we here to deal with their issues? If they are concerned, let them voice it so we can quash their ignorance. Problem solved ;) [02:06] YeTr2, i also think its funny that i only get replies to non-ubuntu question [02:06] any one having problems with sound not playing ? [02:06] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: yes, i can download it in my browser [02:06] utube - no sound [02:07] amaroc ok, but no sound on utube === zach_ is now known as zkriesse === offero is now known as captain === captain is now known as captainc [02:08] hmm... notice messages don't show up in my window... darnit. [02:08] i have no sound output but i do have input .. [02:08] arrrghhh: another render is running on your system [02:08] every thing plays like its working right [02:08] cjae, did you stop mediatomb? [02:09] !ot (for me) [02:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:09] cjae, you can have them both installed, but i don't think you can have them both running... [02:09] what's the applet that allows you to shut down, hibernate, restart, etc? [02:10] arrrghhh: upnp media server 'mediatomb' was already stopped [02:10] cjae, so where are you getting this error? never seen/heard of it. [02:11] arrrghhh: TRACE 19:10:26.579 Media renderer was not recognized. HTTP User agent :UPnP/1.0 [New I/O server worker #1-2] TRACE 19:10:26.727 Media renderer was not recognized. HTTP User agent :UPnP/1.0 [02:12] arrrghhh: under traces in gui [02:12] seth_g: ubuntu can handle more than two cards at the same time, as ubuntu uses Xorg. It's just ubuntu's silly configuration utility doesn't know how to make it work. If you have two nvidia cards, and they both show up in lspci, use the nvidia-settings command to configure X from the 'nvidia-settings' package. [02:12] so if you have asus mb with ati chipset and you are having trouble with nvidia cards, break all the nvidia cards in half and get ati cards... [02:12] no YeTr2 [02:13] YeTr2, if the mb has ati chipset nvidia cards will not allow surround view [02:13] surround view? [02:13] yes [02:13] seth_g: Just because nvidia doesn't play as well with Linux as intel does, doesn't mean you can't get it to work. [02:13] what is surround view? [02:13] as in use the video card but still enable onboard [02:13] what's the name of the applet that has the dropdown menu for shut down, hibernate, etc? [02:14] that should be a bios setting to enable both. [02:14] anon33_: is it not showing on your panel? [02:14] cjae, how did you start it? [02:14] Draqul: I'm trying to add it via command line [02:14] i just need the name [02:14] arrrghhh: from menu [02:14] Anybody install ubuntu 10.10 on ibook g4 (ppc) or have experience with ppc? [02:14] arrrghhh: also will it be there upon reboot [02:14] YeTr2, you are correct. that option is not available if the chipsets dont match. further, an ati chipset mb will only let one nvidia card work at a time [02:14] ie - nm-applet for the wifi [02:14] anon33_: I am not on Ubuntu, or even in Gnome so I am not sure. I want to say "power_applet". It's something like that. [02:15] cjae, i believe so. try this "sudo service pms-linux force-stop" - then try the menu icon again. [02:15] * Draqul is in ArchLinux running openbox [02:15] it's not power-applet [02:15] anon33_: Give me a minute? I'd love to look it up for you. =) [02:15] Draqul: I'd greatly appreciate that (and how you looked it up for future reference :D) [02:16] i had two nvidia cards and ive been pulling my hair out all week trying to get more than one graphics card to work. finally took the whole thing to the computer store and thats what they told me. asus mb with ati is not compatible with nvidia [02:16] what is unity ? [02:16] arrrghhh: does it maybe mean my wii [02:16] so now i have 3 monitors working with no problem [02:16] cjae, not sure. your ps3 should show up in the first tab tho. [02:16] YeTr2, not even an os thing [02:17] I'm going to say that your specific MB fails if the manufacturer puts such restrictions on it. [02:17] after all the screwing around though i know X pretty damn well [02:17] meah [02:17] I would like to find out how to do as show here: [02:17] arrrghhh: no ps3 but it is in xmb [02:17] $1 = /home/user/foo.cpp [02:17] anon33_: Is it "shutdown-applet" or "shutdown applet"? [02:17] I want to use /home/user/foo/* in my script to copy a file to a directory in $1's parent [02:17] YeTr2, i was under the assumption as are the techs that if you install a video card the internal graphics are disabled [02:18] hello. [02:18] cjae, hum, that's very odd. i've been using this application for 2 years now, had very few hiccups/issues. i've also installed it on 5 other machines of friends... [02:18] I had to use an example to explain what I want [02:18] I figured this would be the channel with the most people to answer. #gnu did not work [02:18] you CAN turn the internal gfx on... but in this case only if you are using an ati video card. nvidia card would not allow that bios setting [02:18] seth_g: I have a machine at home that does no suchs thing. but it is an nForce chipset w/ an nvidia card [02:18] seth_g, I've not noticed that... [02:18] arrrghhh: lastest firmware on ps3 too, although I have one that isnt that I am saving lol [02:18] anon33_: By the way, there's this HUGE online help document known as "Google". It's at http://www.google.com/ and all you do is type in some keywords and presto! (Please excuse the smart-aleckness, but google-fu will take you far) [02:18] UnholyTerror, are you a computer tech? [02:19] arch_is_awesome: Why ask here instead of #archlinux? [02:19] because the 6 of them disagree with you [02:19] Draqul: Well...obviously I tried that before asking the channel [02:19] I've had three monitors 1 with onboard intel, 1 with ati card and 1 with nvidia card all on same machine at the same time. [02:19] cjae, hahaha my ps3 is up-to-date as well. gotta be able to access the store :P [02:19] the 6 techs insisted that if a video card is put in then the mb will always turn the internal graphics off unless you force it back on in the bios [02:19] It is part of coreutils and ubuntu has that. Ubuntu has the biggest user base [02:20] therefore a quicker answer [02:20] UnholyTerror, there you go with 'Intel' which it is not [02:20] no, i am not a tech. [02:20] Also I was talking to Draqul [02:20] arch_is_awesome: But this chat is centered around Ubuntu support, not arch support. I am on arch as well, and if I have arch questions or concerns I go to #archlinux or ##linux. Not #ubuntu [02:20] forcing the internal graphics ON when a video card is installed is called surround view [02:21] I used to speak XFree. Then I hit puberty. Now I speak Xorg. [02:21] Although I think it would still work [02:21] if the video card and internal graphics are not the same chipset then surround view is not available [02:21] But... okay [02:21] intel is good with nvidia [02:21] ran three separate desktops and also linked them via xinerama [02:21] 'apparently' [02:22] arch_is_awesome, c'mon man don't come in here with that handle. at least be discreet about it :P [02:22] arrrghhh: His handle is fine. [02:22] cjae, so do you see your media at least? i think with a default configuration it just starts you at '/' [02:22] Draqul, i was just joking... settle down. [02:22] arrrghhh, arch_is_awesome: as long as arch_is_awesome is not trolling or bashing Ubuntu, etc. he is fine here. =) [02:22] does anyone know about ettercap? [02:23] are all .04 versions LTS? [02:23] e.g., 10.04, 9.04, 8.04.... and 11.04? [02:23] shingen, no [02:23] Hmmm... maybe I should use a Nick that won't give away my linux usage [02:23] sympt0m: A little. I used to know one of the devs. [02:23] shingen, nope. every 2 years. [02:23] shingen, 8.04 ,10.04 12.04 [02:23] shingen, so 6.06, 8.04, 10.04 [02:23] arrrghhh: ahh, thanks... forgot [02:23] unity shell in 11.04 makes sense now :) [02:24] sympt0m: AFAIK, it's a dead project. There hasn't been active development in years. [02:24] I asked in ubuntu+1 but they're too silent there :) [02:25] shingen, yea with a new release +1 gets pretty quiet. check it again in march of 2011 ;) [02:25] I just upgraded to lucid. I'm on the wireless network, but there's no indicator anywhere saying so. Shouldn't there be some sort of icon up on the top bar somewhere? [02:25] arrrghhh: who is in +2? :) [02:25] Guest73780, yes, it should look like radar beams going upwards...? [02:25] lol arrrghhh [02:25] shingen, don't think that room exists. kinda getting ot.... [02:25] arrrghhh: not sure yet dont have any there will let you know [02:26] cjae, ok. the gui is obviously the easiest way to configure it, but there's a conf file as well - PMS.conf, if you prefer. [02:26] arrrghhh, ok, it's not there. What's it called and how do I get it there? [02:26] I wish I could set my girlfriend's PMS.conf... [02:26] Guest73780, well it's part of nm-applet... try rebooting. [02:27] Draqul, yea i always questioned the name of that package... pms-linux. [02:27] Draqul, dude, that's hilarious... [02:27] hah [02:27] canthus13, if ettercap is dead, then what should i replace it with? [02:27] It still should work fine.. at least until IPv6 makes it completely obsolete. [02:28] did you get my query? [02:28] sympt0m: If I recall correctly, It was pretty stable by 0.7.3 [02:28] sympt0m, is that just a packet sniffer tool? why not wireshark? [02:28] sympt0m: Yah... I was on another screen. [02:28] arrrghhh: wireshark doesn't support ARP poisoning. [02:28] Dalton: Where's that solution? [02:28] used for arp poisoning, or at least, thats what i want [02:28] canthus13, oh i see what it is. nvm. [02:28] sympt0m, sorry ;) [02:28] no prob arrrghhh ;D [02:29] sympt0m: I don't really remember a whole lot about using it. I haven't touched it in years. too busy doing other stuff. [02:29] is there an alternative [02:29] ? [02:30] sympt0m: arppoison. [02:30] o.O [02:30] it's a lot more rudimentary than ettercap, though. [02:30] ill look it up thanks canthus13 [02:30] it's in arp tools. [02:31] how do i PM someone? [02:31] arp tools is a package on synaptics? [02:31] #/query [02:31] Not sure. [02:31] Night all :) [02:31] without # [02:31] Sean93: /query username message [02:31] I use backtrack for penetration stuff. [02:31] Anyway where does all the money from ubuntu one go? [02:31] i cant use backtrack on my netbook, 1024x600 doesnt work [02:32] Donations? Cannocial (If so for what?) [02:32] arch_is_awesome, canocial is a company dude... [02:32] sorry canonical [02:32] hello, does anyone know of audio software that is like fruityloops studio and is just as simple to use or madtracker? === thechitowncubs is now known as LIMEWIRE [02:32] U MAD BROS? [02:32] ubutnu one would go to canonical [02:33] sympt0m: Cain & Abel may work under wine.. some folks have done it. [02:33] Well okay bye! /part [02:33] blehhhh i dont want to mess with win [02:33] arch_is_awesome, i'm pretty sure the ubuntu dev team has some paid developers. and they gotta pay all those canonical employees :P [02:33] wine [02:33] ah wel [02:33] hi friends [02:33] !hi | pankajsmeel [02:34] sympt0m: *shrug* ettercap should be fine for IPv4... just don't expect bugfixes or new features... unless you do it yourself. :) [02:34] !hi | shingen [02:34] i am using ubuntu 10.10 as i heard one of my friends that ubuntu is awesome [02:34] damnit i thought it was that. [02:34] lol [02:34] canthus13, the problem is, that i cant get the damn thing to work xD [02:34] !hello [02:34] wtf [02:35] sympt0m: :( I wish I could help you with that, but I haven't used it in years. [02:35] canthus13, thats okay lol, thanks for the advice [02:35] but i have a slight problem whenever i play video in ubuntu it plays for first 2 minutes but after that all the video and audio play with jerks [02:35] arrrghhh: well it is not started upon reboot and now I cannot get it to connect to ps3 at all [02:35] can any body help me in this issue [02:36] * canthus13 lost track of Alor a long time ago... [02:36] cjae, let's see if it's running. fire up a terminal and do "sudo service pms-linux status" [02:36] pankajsmeel, what type of video and what are you using to play the video? [02:36] Hello, so I just upgraded my system and rebooted. Though when I try to boot into Ubuntu it goes to the login screen, but doesn't display the Login area, like where I can pick my user and type in my password. Any ideas? [02:37] arrrghhh: running [02:37] cjae, hmmm but you don't see it on xmb at all? [02:37] Ryen: this was an internal upgrade - ie not from a livecd? [02:37] arrrghhh: not upon reboot [02:37] i am using vlc to play the video and the file format is .mpg,.flv [02:37] cjae, is mediatomb also running...? i'm not sure if they clash or not. [02:38] alright so heres a somewhat related question then: if i put my computer into ip_forward mode, do i need to put it back, or will it switch back when i clost the console? [02:38] any format give the same problem [02:38] Draqul: I was signed in at the time and I just did my normal upgrade every night. (sudo apt-get update & upgrade) [02:38] pankajsmeel, hmmm do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras instsalled? [02:38] arrrghhh, i dont know how to check it [02:39] pankajsmeel, that would be a no then. please install it. [02:39] having an odd problem: wireless only works after I install *or* remove the broadcom proprietary driver in system->administration->hardware drivers. is the 'hardware drivers' utility doing something else? [02:39] Ryen: ok, go to a virtual console - from the login screen hit ctrl+alt+f2, then login and use sudo apt-get install gdm. Let it update [02:39] arrrghhh: mt not running [02:39] thebenedict, probably killing and restarting networking... [02:39] arrrghhh, i am new to ubuntu pls tell me how to check it [02:40] Draqul: Already tried that, because I thought something might have messed it up. It's all up to date. [02:40] cjae, so pms-linux started on reboot, but you didn't get it on the xmb... does it show anything in the log? /var/log/debug-.log [02:40] arrghhh as in /etc/init.d/networking restart? [02:40] Ryen: you can attempt to completely uninstall it (purge), then reinstall it. [02:40] pankajsmeel, just install that meta-package, you'll want it. [02:40] doing that independently of install/removing the driver doesn't start up the wireless [02:40] thebenedict, not sure exactly what it does, but i bet something to that effect. not sure what it does with modprobe. [02:41] me neither:) [02:41] lol sorry :P [02:41] ... so ubuntu doesn't install aptitude by default... [02:41] YeTr2, it... doesn't? [02:41] how would i go about getting only audio stuff for ubuntu studio ? [02:41] Draqul: Well right now, what I just did, was went into recovery mode; then I told it to give me a prompt and signed in that way. I'm on the computer right now, so I would probably have to sign out again to redo that wouldn't I? [02:41] just ran an install.. it's not here [02:41] according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod, i should be able to plug in and use my ipod touch [02:41] but it just mocks me by doing nothing in amarok and gtkpod [02:41] Ryen: most likely [02:42] I just bought an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. Many keyboard buttons completely arbitrary as to what's working. Any suggestions as to where to start? [02:42] YeTr2, weird, i have it. this isn't a fresh install tho. i didn't install aptitude... [02:42] All right, well I will brb, ill purge it and tell you the result. [02:42] so, that's 3 things wrong with the installer. trifecta now complete. [02:43] arrrghhh: dont see anything [02:43] cjae, is the log empty? [02:43] arrrghhh: no [02:43] cjae, can you pastebin it pls? [02:43] Ok - issue number 1 for people who have packages that do not work after a full system upgrade - upgrading your system internally is still not as pretty as it should be! If you have an issue that just doesn't seem to want to be resolved, then go to http://www.ubuntu.com/, download the latest 10.10 iso, check the md5sum, burn it to a disc at the lowest possible burn speed to ensure burn accuracy, then install 10.10 fresh from that livecd. >_> Prob [02:43] arrrghhh, i am installing the package and let me check [02:43] cjae, i swear i've never had this much trouble with it ;) [02:44] by the way the songs play for a while and then the jerk appear === yairgo_ is now known as yairgo [02:44] pankajsmeel, you may have another problem, but let's get this out of the way. === asig is now known as Guest22707 [02:45] * LIMEWIRE DIES [02:46] hi, how do i start a process in the background when im on ssh? [02:46] EeveeTrainer: using & at the end of a command will background it. [02:46] EeveeTrainer: SCREEN [02:46] EeveeTrainer, you can't really start one in the background... you can use screen, and then you can kind of 'minimize' the screen window. [02:46] screen ? [02:46] hi, I need to jail an user in a dir. Does somebody know how to doit? [02:46] EeveeTrainer: MAN SCREEN [02:46] hello [02:47] EeveeTrainer, do this. 'screen '. then hit ctrl-a then d. this will minimize it. [02:47] LIMEWIRE: contrary to what others may have told you, caps lock is not cruise control for cool. Please disable caps lock. [02:47] EeveeTrainer, but you should probably read the manpage as our angry friend LIMEWIRE has pointed out. [02:47] hey my ubuntu shutsdown when i hit hibernate. what gives [02:47] Draqul: but it does make you sound like Billy Mays [02:47] oracle, well that's what it is... does it not save your ram to disk tho? [02:47] Draqul: YOU MAD BRO? [02:48] hey my ubuntu shutsdown when i hit hibernate. what gives [02:48] oracle: Do you have swap? Ram? [02:48] faint! [02:48] arrrghhh, no. it just reboots normally [02:48] LIMEWIRE, no, all caps is just kinda odd. [02:48] i have swap and ram sure [02:48] i figure its a setting or something [02:48] hey man [02:48] oracle, hmmm... never used hibernate. [02:48] i droped back to 10.4 alt install cd i had on cli install i like better then 10.10 [02:48] oracle: how much swap & ram do you have? [02:48] i wanna think you are fuse [02:48] my home directory is encrypted, could that be why it doesnt hibernate [02:48] oracle: No [02:48] will most likely righ 10.4 till next lts [02:49] yetr2, ram is 1gb swap is 5gb [02:49] !itouch [02:49] i dont know why it's 5 [02:49] Why is swap...oh [02:49] when i plug my ipod in it says "Error mounting: mount fs type, bad option bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error in some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.. what should i do??

Might just completely reinstall. [02:51] does it save that way? [02:51] it says it cannot find valid fat system on sdg1?? [02:51] sympt0m: it saves, just use it [02:51] STILL BOOTS INTO WIN7 [02:51] ack [02:51] okay thanks [02:51] Ryen: that sounds like a good idea [02:51] and says bogus number of reserved sectors. [02:51] sorryu about the caps [02:51] sympt0m: Be a man and use vim. [02:51] prince_jammys: hello [02:51] gvim [02:51] jamescarr_: Your computer still boots win7? [02:52] jamescarr_: what gvim? [02:52] yes [02:52] manhunter: vim with a gui interface, versus just cli [02:52] <`RadioMan> weird [02:52] Draqul: be a real man and use ed [02:52] jamescarr_: YOU MAD BRO? WHATS WITH THE CAPS [02:52] draqul i don't understand any of this dmesg stuff... i'm assuming bad sectors... [02:52] I need to delete all files that have a particular prefix but have non matching extensions to the ones I want to keep. example file1.eps file1.pdf file1.tex file1.log file1.aux and I want to delete all files that match the name file1 and do not have an extension pdf and tex (Of course I have many more files in the directory with the prefix file1) [02:52] <`RadioMan> LIMEWIRE- that was 5 mins ago [02:52] YeTr2: Cult of Vim right here dude. Don't even try to convert me. starn, please pastebin the output. [02:52] SRY RADIOSHACK [02:52] jamescarr_: Draqul why do i need gvim? [02:53] any of you guys got time for quick question on linux and windows shared drive? [02:53] Draqul: oh, I'm not trying to convert you, I'm just saying that if you want to try something even harder, use ed [02:53] jamescarr_: Win likes to overwrite the mbr. When I was dualbooting ubuntu and vista, after so many boots vista would overwrite the mbr so I couldn't access ubuntu. Trash the microsoft. [02:53] it's even one less key to type to run the command :) [02:53] YeTr2: I have. It's ok [02:53] manhunter: you don't. It's a joke. [02:53] !ask | marvinthemartian [02:53] marvinthemartian: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

From my Ubuntu system today i wanted to mount that shared drive...it allowed me to do it without a password... [02:54] gave me full access [02:54] Draqul: why joke?

[02:56] cjae, :S sorry dude. check out that thread i gave ya, it's got a lot of good info. as does that forum, the linux-specific section. [02:56] ok soo like this? mks.vfat /dev/sdg [02:56] C++, C#, and low Level C would be nice man [02:56] starn: right [02:56] Draqul: what do you mean? [02:56] marvinthemartian: Do you know C? [02:56] manhunter: excuse me? [02:56] Draqul: yes i know C [02:56] arrrghhh: k [02:56] yes [02:56] manhunter: I was asking marvinthemartian [02:57] Draqul: do you use gvim? [02:57] marvinthemartian: Ok, then write a C program and pass it through "gcc", which is the GNU C Compiler. Simple. [02:57] manhunter: No, I use vim in a terminal, I do not need a gui to hold my hand.

[02:57] Ok, but what about c++ and c# any good ebooks/websites i can check out [02:58] I'm having a hard time with the GUI designer in Mono [02:58] * Gnea kicks his mic in the area-that-causes-most-pain [02:58] manhunter, dont listen to his les. you need eclipse [02:58] marvinthemartian: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Programming/Building_C_programs_on_Linux [02:58] lies [02:58] Anybody know why update-grub fails when one physical volume is on a luks partition? [02:58] is the GTK# designer still real buggy or something? [02:59] manhunter: Because vim is much faster and more effecient than other editors, in my opinion at least. [02:59] marvinthemartian: GTK# designer? Like a visual ide? [02:59] * spinningcompass snorts [02:59] yea the one with Mono [02:59] C# [02:59] xev reports F4 as "p". Entire keyboard is screwed up/HP Pavilion dv7... Any ideas? [03:00] marvinthemartian: I don't work with C (python/perl here), so I wouldn't know. Plus, I do not use visual studios. CLI and VIM are enough for me. VIM is a full IDE imo. [03:00] Draqul: yes , vim is faster [03:01] marvinthemartian: isn't C# dependant upon the .NET framework provided exclusively through microsoft? [03:01] draqul i'm really confused on this mkfs.vfat /dev/sdg thing.. [03:01] Draqul: try gvim too, [03:01] manhunter: I might. =) [03:01] apparently .net isnt what you would think [03:01] Actually I think the Ubuntu is just thinking the Function key is pressed when it's not [03:01] It has it reversed...is that fixable? [03:02] the .net framework and the c# language got turned over to the language standard commitee [03:02] marvinthemartian: If it's proprietary it's not worth my time. [03:02] Draqul: copy and paste from vim to firefox or other editor like gedit sometimes make it difficult ,where gvim is good [03:02] manhunter: good to know, but you're going ot. [03:02] well, lucky enough the standard on how to make it was given to the linux community [03:02] xemacs [03:02] emacs [03:02] emacs is of the devil [03:02] but honestly we needed a rapid application development tool [03:03] delphi is pretty much died off...

Simple - fast - awesome [03:05] Draqul: snapshot=? [03:05] manhunter: Give me a moment and I'll find a how-to guide for you. =) [03:05] yeah how do you snapshot them?

My bad if it was bad info - I've forgotten how to do it as it's been a while since I've used Ubuntu [03:09] draqul i'm tempted to use zune.. Froggymanand rockbox? where and how?! lol oh also. mine is 6g ipod so i really hope this info for 3g helps. [03:09] Does anybody know whether a cool terminal that can play a sound whenever something is printed on its window exists or not? [03:09] starn: Do not use a zune. [03:09] anyone point me to install IE [03:10] draqul any suggestions other than ipod and zune? for i honestly dislike both companies now days. [03:10] starn: the iPod will work with Linux. Zune is super-ultra-handshake-locked that even Linux Gods cannot break. If you get a Zune you *will* be using Windows. [03:10] starn: I use a sony walkman. One moment, I have a link to it...

I love it like crazy [03:11] I consider it odd that the live cd does not include a client capable of connecting to IRC by default. The older versions of ubuntu used pidgin by default which could log into irc [03:12] i hate the new chat client in 10.10 [03:12] manhunter: thanks [03:12] twinkie_addict: then install a new one. [03:12] Maahes, there are always webclients [03:12] can i just use linux to format my ipod.. really don't wanna use xp. though i could. second thought i will follow step by step word by word.. so i'll brb reading and doing crap.

[03:14] is there anything like Dreamweaver that I can get on my Linux machine here for free? [03:14] Dear Aptitude, what part of -y don't you understand. I said I wanted them installed without questions. why must you still question me? [03:14] veritas_rho, a texteditor?

In other words, it just asks the name of each installed package then outputs the names to a file [03:16] bye [03:16] u r welcome [03:16] veritas_rho: a publishing app? maybe scribed? [03:16] Hello, today I updated my system as I do every night, and I rebooted. Grub comes up fine and I can choose Ubuntu, but as soon as that comes up I only get this far: http://imagebin.org/120445 . The login box never comes up. Any ideas? [03:16] Draqul: then if do " aptitude dist-upgrade , what will happen? [03:18] arrrghhh, hi friend i have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras still the problem exist [03:18] Draqul: so after "aptitude dist-upgrade" , it will install only the desktop package except other installed software, is it ? right ? [03:18] pankajsmeel, are you up to date on everything? [03:18] Draqul: right? [03:18] this is hilarious, even on the live cd psmouse can lose sync, this time losing sync meant my system went into suspend [03:18] pankajsmeel: what video card and cpu do you have? [03:19] arrrghhh, yes i have updated ubuntu just one hour ago [03:19] Maahes_ do you know what's with that driver? I have similar issues [03:19] (trackpad guy over here) [03:19] hey does anyone play Americas Army here for linux cause i got a server up and running if anyone wants to join [03:19] pankajsmeel, yea i guess specs would be my next question... do you have a dedicated video card, etc [03:19] shingen: my processor is core 2 due 2 GhZ [03:19] TeruFSX: I know acouple potential workarounds, only one of which worked for me, and it worked in an unacceptable way. [03:19] manhunter: if you use the command issued, it will pull all installed packages. You then fresh install ubuntu and use that file to update the system with all of your old packages. [03:19] arrrghhh: i dont have a dedicated video card [03:20] it's not frequent for me, but it happens every once in a while [03:20] hey does anyone play Americas Army here for linux cause i got a server up and running if anyone wants to join [03:20] pankajsmeel, so intel then? for the vid card?

[03:22] pankajsmeel: use sudo apt-get install -y pastebinit && sudo lshw -C video | pastebinit [03:22] starn rhythmbox would be okay. rockbox is a replacement OS for your audio player [03:22] starn: rhythmbox works well with iPod [03:22] manhunter: When I used hardy [03:22] well if it keeps messing up should i install new os? [03:23] what i'm trying to say , if one do "aptitude dist-upgrade" , it will upgrade all installed packages including the ubuntu-desktop, that takes time [03:23] starn: other than linux? Trash the mp3 player first [03:23] I can't run an apt-get install while I'm installing other stuff in syaptic.. time for a break [03:23] every six months , doing the aptitude dist-upgrade is cumbersome [03:23] manhunter: if you do aptitude dist-upgrade then you don't need a snapshot [03:23] starn, i keep all my media on a linux server, then share it to my win machines to update ipods, etc/ [03:23] manhunter: yes, it can be. [03:24] starn, otherwise dual-boot, or VM if you've got good enough hw :D [03:24] arrrghhh: that's wise [03:24] There came a time when I had to choose between the Zune my girlfriend gave me, meaning I had to switch to Windows, or lose the love of my life and keep Linux. I chose Linux. Never looked back once. [03:25] arrrghhh: I put my stuff on an External HDD [03:25] im tryin to install IE [03:25] Hello, today I updated my system as I do every night, and I rebooted. Grub comes up fine and I can choose Ubuntu, but as soon as that comes up I only get this far: http://imagebin.org/120445 . The login box never comes up. Any ideas? [03:25] Draqul: I would keep both :P [03:25] what's a good packet sniffer that can make decent sense of TCP traffic destined for other machines? [03:25] in installed wine [03:25] ramk: why? [03:25] littlebearz, well this way all my hdds with media are ext4 - don't have to worry about fragmentation or any of that mess. [03:25] Draqul: kudos [03:25] i want to access remote web workplace [03:25] littlebearz: To each their own [03:25] it needs activex [03:26] ramk: use mstsc.exe then, or rdesktop [03:26] Draqul: if it upgrades all installed packages,then dpkg –get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ubuntu-files is not necessary,it's all the same doing "aptitude dist-upgrade" and dpkg –get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ubuntu-files && aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade " [03:26] Draqul, i _have_ to run windows for some things. like my stupid work's remote access... [03:26] where can i install the mstsc [03:26] page [03:26] arrrghhh: Draqul: http://pastebin.com/Pdtyq19C [03:26] and dpkg –set-selections < ubuntu-files [03:26] I think the only thing I like about the default ubuntu install is the complete lack of brown. [03:26] anyone know why ubuntu is freezing during every load at the splash screen? I just got a new comp, gtx460 gfx.. bad driver possibly? [03:27] if one has to upgrade all installed packages every six months then why would one use ubuntu? [03:27] no, wait [03:27] arrrghhh: I understand. I am not knocking Windows. It's an excellent OS that gets the job done for most people. I know a lot of people are forced to use it at work, or for some apps. To each their own. [03:27] I stand corrected, there is brown on the screen. darnit. [03:27] YeTr2: I miss the brown === asig2 is now known as asig [03:27] manhunter because one doesn't find it very inconvenient or uses the upgrade tool like me [03:27] now i cannot remove wine [03:27] ramk why not [03:27] :( [03:27] Draqul, you'll never see a windows server in my house tho friend :D [03:27] i dont know [03:27] yet to figure out [03:28] Ryen: when you updated, you upgraded to 9.10 and selected an option to rewrite your grub [03:28] ramk: why do you want IE? [03:28] what are you using to uninstall it [03:28] arrrghhh: Draqul: http://pastebin.com/Pdtyq19C [03:28] i want to connect remote web workplace [03:28] why is the aptitude /apt-get service not available forever?after one year or so this aptitude server is finished then one has to reinstall ubuntu and reinstall all other packages too,that's time consuming cumbersome,disgusting [03:28] pankajsmeel, i see it. i915... haven't found much about it in 10.10. [03:28] draqul:it needs activex [03:28] ramk, i don't know what steps you've followed but this looks promising http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation [03:29] TeruFSX: because there are many places in the world where bandwith is very poor [03:29] veritas_rho: No. I have had 10.04 the entire time. I just updated my system since I had to install 38 new packages. I rebooted and now it just hangs. [03:29] arrrghhh: any suggestion what to do next [03:29] #python [03:29] hehe [03:29] manhunter: stay with the LTS releases if you don't like to try and stay current. those last 2+ years. [03:29] TeruFSX: it will take two days to upgrade all packages [03:29] Ryen: that's why you don't update Lol [03:29] manhunter then either use LTS, don't update for a while, or get CDs [03:29] pankajsmeel, not yet... [03:29] gurpreet: thx but is there anything without installing IE [03:29] manhunter: if you don't like it, why not write your own distro, buy a server, and host it yourself? [03:29] i hate IE [03:29] draqul that's terrible advice [03:29] TeruFSX: how so? [03:29] manhunter, you may be interested in the Long-Term Support versions. [03:29] LTS distros are 3 years support for workstations, 5 years for servers. [03:30] arrrghhh: there is one change after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras i can play mp3 files without any jerk [03:30] TeruFSX: Draqul is a good advice [03:30] ramk, Remote Desktop maybe?? [03:30] how does that fix anything [03:30] ramk: ies4linux [03:30] Okay, when ubuntu get's up to S for names. The S HAS to be SMARMY. smarmy serpent, smarmy shrew (like that one cause it's a double entendre), smarmy serval, you name it, as long as you don't also describe it, cause I already picked the adjective [03:30] pankajsmeel, hm ok good. vlc still has video issues? [03:30] Upgrades are never required. They help fix bugs and add new features, but no upgrade is ever required. [03:30] thats the link i gave him YeTr2 [03:30] Shishire: yes,you are correct , not only me but also those ,where bandwith is very poor [03:30] arrrghhh: not only vlc but media player had video issues [03:30] but it needs activex remember [03:30] Is Mark Shuttleworth here, cause I need to PM him? [03:31] Suave Skunk? [03:31] lol [03:31] :) [03:31] arrrghhh: is there any specific software required to play flv files in ubuntu [03:31] drewbert, yea dude, you just missed him... [03:31] Tw|sT: smarmy skunk [03:31] lol [03:31] I dig it [03:31] arrrghhh: ARRRGGGGhhhh [03:31] right on man [03:31] pankajsmeel, i don't believe so. [03:32] I am awaiting Horny Horntoad when they roll the alphabet back around. That release is going to be beast [03:32] arrrghhh: anyway thanks for your help [03:32] arrrghhh: atleast i can hear audio songs [03:32] pankajsmeel, sorry... that's a very odd issue. [03:32] ramk, probably a Virtual machine would be a good idea [03:32] Ryen: that's why don't do dist-upgrade [03:32] pankajsmeel, can you pastebin your /var/log/messages file? [03:33] virtual machi... some one here suggested rdesktop [03:33] i want to know what is that [03:33] arrrghhh: how to do that [03:33] that was me [03:33] :P [03:33] please elaborate your problem a bit so that we can chew on it [03:33] manhunter: I didn't do a dist-upgrade. [03:33] pankajsmeel, there's probably a slick way to do it, but i'd just open it with gedit and copy/paste it into a pastebin.

[03:34] ramk: rdesktop is the linux client for windows remote desktop. you connect to another windows machine and use the browser from that machine. [03:34] Ryen: so which system are you on now? [03:34] A different partition. Same computer. [03:35] ramk: it's like VNC, but with more features. [03:35] manhunter: ^ [03:35] i need to make an initrd.gz file out of a directory,help! [03:35] Ryen what you did was a simple package update [03:35] Ryen: operating system? === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [03:35] Ryen: please stop feeding the troll [03:35] Draqul: you better get the lts version, because that's not coming around for a WHILE [03:35] Draqul: I have a shorter shelf life than you, I'm waiting for Xenophobic Xebu [03:35] yetr2: thts cool [03:35] speaking of VNC, VNC+XDMCP setup for a GDM login screen per connection, totally rocks! [03:35] but im struggling and sweating ... :( [03:36] Xenophobic Xebu! w00t w00t! [03:36] 21.04 is too long to wait [03:36] vnc not workng [03:36] okay this is a question I don't know if anyone has an answer for: I have a dell laptop, which by default has a bunch of system-keys where the F keys are, and you have to hold down Fn to access the Fkeys, on windows this is a good idea, as you don't use Fkeys all that much, on linux its very annoying [03:36] Is there a way to reverse this behavior? [03:36] make them Fkeys by default [03:36] Maahes_: I have those too. You get used to it. You can shortcut their functions using System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts [03:37] I just purchased a Targus DVDROM and I cannot get any DVDs to play. It is reading the DVDs but once I open them, the programs open but nothing plays. Anyone know how to fix this? [03:37] Maahes_ I think Fn combinations are handled by the keyboard hardware [03:37] Maahes_: you might be able to change it with xmodmap [03:37] deexannihilate are they commercial DVDs? [03:37] Hrrm, I wonder if I can map Fn to capslock [03:37] arrrghhh: gedit can not open the file [03:37] terufsx: yes [03:37] That's at least a more convenient mode selector placing [03:38] TeruFSX: I've tried two different ones [03:38] It gets kinda memory hungry, but my dev team loves the setup I put together on their servers (HP 8way Xeon box (x2) w/ 32GB ram, & 4TB SAS storage). They were having to use Xming, which worked well, but it's really optimized for a LAN connection, and some of the dev team come in over VPN, so that was too slow in their case. VNC+XDMCP hooked 'em up tho [03:38] deexannihilated you will need some third-party software for that [03:38] Draqul: you are troll,not me [03:38] you probably would know if you have it installed; the Ubuntu repositories don't include it [03:39] !op | manhunter is a troll [03:39] manhunter is a troll: Help!

[03:45] I upgraded to 10.10 and am having grub issues, if I reinstall 10.10 on my linux partition will that reinstall grub2 and everything? [03:45] could some one help me with a docky issue [03:45] can anyone tell me if its possible to make the font size smaller in empathy? [03:46] Tom1: It should. Be careful not to erase it, though. [03:46] whats up Robert? [03:46] how can I find my $PATH's location ? [03:46] nothing like a little deathmetal to keep me going all night at work :) [03:47] phpninja run echo $PATH [03:47] TeruFSX: erase it? [03:47] that shows my path, but where is it located? i checked .profile [03:47] in home directory, but it doesnt match up [03:47] Tom1: don't erase your existing Ubuntu partition if it contains anything you want to keep [03:48] s0dium: having troubles with docky... when i install its fine it runs fine but then all of a sudden my computer craps out and won't restart untill i unplug and pull the bios battery [03:48] that is a strange problem robert [03:48] tell me about it [03:48] phpninja I'm not quite sure. I don't think it's set up by bash, though [03:48] I found out that "There is no way to use iptables with Ubuntu to restrict access based on the program name, because the Ubuntu Linux kernel is not compiled with the options required to enable the --cmd-owner flag." Hope Ubuntu adds this flag option in future. I think it's useful. [03:49] TeruFSX: after the update, I can't get into ubuntu anymore [03:49] TeruFSX: only the windows boot option is functioning correctly [03:49] what version of ubuntu are you using robert? [03:49] 10.10 [03:49] in ubuntu 10.10 how can I change password in terminal? [03:49] woodyjlw [03:49] passwd [03:49] can someone help me to do a proxy server on ubuntu :S or at least a good tutorial ive been trying to google it but nothing helpful [03:50] s0dium: what is the command in terminal so i can past my computer hardware list in pastbin for u [03:50] oh, last question is there a way defrag FAT partitions from linux? [03:50] file defragmentation, not block defragmentation [03:50] Tom1: What happens when you try to boot Ubuntu? [03:50] Maahes_, no there isn't a reliable way for that [03:51] arrrghhhh: all the files are now playing in movieplayer properly but not in vlc [03:51] thanks everbody [03:51] RobertSaganek, lspci and lsusb maybe? [03:51] Jordan_U: using the last command you had me use, I now see many linux options on the boot menu. If i try to use the most recent version the monitor stops receiving signal [03:52] Is python now python2/3 in Ubuntu? [03:52] Terrance, have you tried squid? its easy to setup and run [03:52] Jordan_U: if I pick the oldest version, it shows the login screen for 10.10 (not sure why?) but it seems to be frozen (i can't type or use the keyboard or mouse to do anything) [03:52] RobertSaganek: sudo lswh > somefile.txt [03:52] Draqul: python 2.6 is default, but python 3 is available [03:53] lshw [03:53] trism: I am in Arch and we just switched to python3, so I was curious. =P Thanks [03:53] http://pastebin.com/Dn1ttGr9 here is my pastbin [03:53] RobertSaganek: sorry, lshw [03:53] I have butterfingers [03:53] RobertSaganek, thats sudo lshw > hwlist.txt [03:54] Maahes: their is my past bin... did u see my question [03:54] RobertSaganek: I didn't see your original question no [03:55] Maahes: docky installs and runs fine but the my computer tards out and won't restart untill i unpulug and remove the bios battery [03:55] Asking again, is there a way with Linux's default tools to get the URL of a radio stream that normally would be received by a flash player? [03:56] TeruFSX, thanks that did it [03:56] It's a streamtheworld player I am trying to target. [03:57] Jordan_U: should I just reinstall at this point? [03:57] Tom1: Try editing the most recent entry, by pressing 'e' at the boot menu, and add "nomodeset" after "quiet splash " (on the same line). Then press ctrl+x to execute the modified entry. [03:58] RobertSaganek: ..... pastebin /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages [03:59] Jordan_U: i don't see a "quiet splash" [03:59] Jordan_U: the first line says "recordfail" [03:59] tiox, amarok rhythmbox both can play internet radio, i don't know whether they play your specific staion [04:00] I'm having trouble compiling software named BondDB http://pastebin.com/94NPehhZ [04:00] Wouldn't I normally need the IP of the station? [04:00] a url maybe [04:01] I need help. I've tried this on #tremulous but it didn't work. Basically... [04:01] After installing Tremulous 1.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 the touch pad is hypersenitive in-game [04:02] on ubuntu, I'm trying to keep track of my database layout with sqlite. Anyone know a good app that will let me change things around with ease? [04:02] I've turned down the mouse senitivity and acceleration the minimum but It's not working [04:02] Maahes:http://pastebin.com/mq41LR4E [04:02] Jordan_U: it says "recordfail" for all of the linux boot options actually [04:02] what would cause my enter key to not input newline in text editors when I'm in a screen (all I see ie. in vim is "M+newline", in nano it looks like it's inserting the HOME value)? inputs newline when I'm not in a screen [04:03] Quick question [04:03] is there a program for linux like scan disk where it checks the disk for bad sectors than blocks them off from being used? [04:03] Anyone here use nano? [04:03] Hello! [04:03] I seem to be getting very slow pings/horrible tracert results on Ubuntu 10.10. [04:03] Tom1: That's normal. [04:03] Connor1: yes [04:03] shingen any way to enable an actual word wrap on it? [04:03] I tried the same thing on my laptop running Windows, and I am actually getting better results. [04:03] I'm tired of typing long lines and having it not wrap my text. [04:03] Connor1: -ww when starting from cli [04:03] Does anyone know of a bug/problem that might cause this problem? [04:03] Jordan_U: my favorite problem solver :) [04:03] Connor1: e.g., nano -ww [04:03] That doesn't help me [04:03] I mean [04:03] Connor1: alias it :) [04:04] It is very annoying to not be able to browse the internet or do anything online. [04:04] I want it to display the actual wrap [04:04] Anyone have any ideas? [04:04] geoff918: have you looked at the c-function being named? It may be a typo on the part of the programmer, maybe you just have a bad release [04:04] Maahes: did you get that and i'm afk for about 5 going to get smoke [04:04] shingen any ideas on doing that? [04:04] Connor1: hmmm... never knew nano / pico to actually wrap on screen... could be wrong though... man page for that [04:05] what is a good piece of software to manage sql table layouts ... those kinds of associations? [04:05] :( So no one else has my problem? [04:05] Jordan_U: okay, is it bad that there's no "quiet splash"? [04:05] Connor1, i suggest using gedit if you can, otherwise vim would be a good start [04:05] Karen_m: you mean like SQLiteManager ? [04:05] I use a CLI interface. [04:05] got it RobertSaganek [04:05] :( back to Fedora then. Cya. [04:05] anyone have any ideas? (this is specific to my user) [04:05] I would suggest nano if for a beginner. [04:05] I'm already used to nano, and I prefer using it [04:06] i've never used sqlitemanager [04:06] I've been using pico for the last 20 years :P [04:06] checking it out [04:06] I need a cli text editor for doing classwork. [04:07] Any recommendations? I'm already really used to nano. [04:07] Tom1: It's not normal but it shouldn't hurt anything. Can you pastebin your grub.cfg or a screenshot of that menu entry? [04:07] is there any way to do sudo echo "123.123.123.123 somehostname.com" >> /etc/hosts without getting access denied? [04:07] nano is probably easiest, there is also vi (harder) and pico (never used) which are popular [04:07] Connor1: if you are used to nano. Thats fine. Else vim is something you should start. [04:07] i second vi or vim [04:07] Connor1: vim :) [04:07] obs3rv3r the text doesn't wrap on screen [04:07] pico is nano.... vi is goofy... vim over vi any day [04:07] Which is what I need nano to do... [04:08] Connor1: you can't make something that's been around for 20 years do something it can't... [04:08] Dang [04:08] Jordan_U: how can i screen shot the boot menu? [04:08] Tom1: Sorry, meant to say photograph :) [04:09] Jordan_U: no worries [04:09] is there a program for linux like scan disk where it checks the disk for bad sectors than blocks them off from being used? [04:09] Connor1: Try vim. You will love it. [04:10] obs3rv3r it's neat so far [04:10] Except esc :w isn't quitting it [04:10] :wq [04:10] or :x [04:10] This is the affected file (compile error above) http://pastebin.com/8zm2bH3Y [04:11] In the latest Gimp provided by ubuntu, does it have the ability to "stick" the separate windows into one? [04:11] Gpt ot [04:11] :p; [04:11] Got it* [04:11] :wq! [04:11] Lol [04:11] Another question [04:11] Connor1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:11] Shut up FloodBot1 [04:11] lol [04:11] haha [04:11] Any way to get my ubuntu install to boot directly into a CLI environment? [04:11] yes [04:11] emacs >> vim ;_ [04:11] hit e at boot [04:12] anybody uses lftp? [04:12] and enter 3 [04:12] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/4kq8zGnK [04:12] she_dyed isn't there a file I can edit? [04:12] pi3ch: i have used it but not for a while [04:12] yes in grub [04:12] Jordan_U: I typed it in so there might be minor typos [04:12] she_dyed any tutorialon this? [04:12] RobertSaganek: From those logs the only thing I can see is you have a buggy usb mouse, did you shutdown normally or crash? lets try pastebin ing /var/log/boot.log [04:12] anyone? [04:12] starn, lookup badblocks but be very carefull when you use it [04:12] !grub | Connor1 [04:12] Connor1: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[04:12] is anyone using toshiba protege r705/700 + ubuntu here? My ubuntu freezes quite frequently on this laptop... [04:12] any ideas on how to debug this? [04:12] she_dyed: or just stop gdm from starting [04:13] what's the best way to install sun's jdk in ubuntu? download and run the installer from their site, or is there a make-java-pkg like in debian? [04:13] she_dyed: sorry its Connor1 . [04:13] magicblaze0073 is it a full freeze or a mouse freeze? [04:13] gurpreet alright. no problem using on my broken ipod if this don't work i'm gonna hammer it with an real hammer.. [04:13] obs3rv3r: thanks for the input tho =) [04:13] lol [04:13] Tom1: That looks fine. Add the "nomodeset" after "ro". [04:13] Connor1: it might be enough for you to just start the installer, and hit ctrl-alt-f2 to get a console [04:13] I don't want to do that [04:13] Jordan_U: do you have some time to help me with a little problem again? :) [04:13] Connor1: all 3 options :P ? [04:13] I already do that [04:13] Connor1: mod your init ring to not start gdm [04:14] Where is it located? [04:14] starn, yes you can use it on your ipod [04:14] * obs3rv3r sysv-rc-conf a very very useful tool [04:14] Connor1: it's prolly init ring 5 or something, check rc.5.... [04:14] but again carefill with the syntax [04:14] TeruFSX: Full freeze [04:14] only reboot makes it work [04:14] *carefull [04:14] gurpreet please say it's easy to use... and maybe has an gui...... [04:14] no [04:14] : [04:14] :) [04:15] i replaced the hard drive with ssd and loaded ubuntu on it...it boots, i could update/upgrade using apt-get...tried to look into dmesg, but cant figure out whats wrong [04:15] all the gui goodness was sucked into the ipod [04:15] I already tried to edit /etc/inittab but it was blank [04:15] Any ideas? [04:15] Jordan_U: the resolution is messed up but it logged into 10.10! [04:16] Maahes: boot.log is very short [04:16] Tom1: Great. What graphics card do you have? [04:16] Connor1: use sysv-rc-conf and locate gdm and stop it from starting. [04:17] whoops, that's applicable on other distros, not debian bested ones... sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove or sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults [04:17] obs3rv3r will do [04:17] TeruFSX: my dmesg -> paste.pocoo.org/show/282052 [04:17] any ideas on how to find out whats wrong? [04:18] the screen dims out quite fast on the machine... [04:18] Jordan_U: it's an ati radeon 4670 [04:18] well there's that oops [04:18] probably hangs after that [04:18] i'll look into it a bit more [04:19] what would cause my enter key to not input newline in text editors when I'm in a screen (all I see ie. in vim is "M+newline", in nano it looks like it's inserting the HOME value)? inputs newline when I'm not in a screen.

It starts the fan as soon as it hangs...at full speed...till i reboot [04:22] or run a vm with stripped down xp and run dream weaver in that [04:22] then its quiet till it doesnt hang again [04:23] Tom1: If the current proprietary driver supports your card yes. When you say download thought it suggests you're not installing via System > Administration > Hardware drivers. Installing the driver from ATI's website is a bad idea. [04:23] quir [04:23] quit [04:23] exit [04:23] technically no, a lot of systems automatically turn the fans to full when things stop responding, it doesn't neccesarily indicate an overheating issue [04:23] fictive, thank you man ! [04:23] i see. i thought it may be getting really hot, and then the fans go on to cool it when it hangs [04:23] Jordan_U: I'm using System > Administration > Additional Drivers [04:24] Tom1: Ok, then yes. Installing the proprietary driver again should solve the problem. [04:24] marckitos: no problem [04:25] quiescens: how do i debug whats causing it? === Hrimfaxi_ is now known as Hrimfaxi [04:25] ha ha [04:26] hi i am running lubuntu 10.10 in virtualbox as guest os on virtualbox 3.2.8 and i am trying to figure out how to get the resolution from 800 X 600 to 1024 X 768 [04:26] too hard to tell, all you really know is something is causing a hard lock, the fan thing is likely irrelevant [04:26] host os is ubuntu 10.04 [04:26] If I switch to Novell Suse, will I definitely have to pay, or is there a trial period for Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 [04:26] ?? [04:27] ghostnik11: Install the guest additions. [04:27] I got the CLI shit working, thanks for everyone's help. [04:27] Google fixed it in the end lol [04:27] shado`_: I guess openSUSE could serve as a trial [04:27] !language | Connor1 [04:27] Connor1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:27] openSUSE isn't bad (just don't try to get support, the forums are nasty) [04:27] in my ubuntu 10.10 there is no kernel line in grub+edit...how do i set acpi=off? [04:27] does ubuntu use pulseaudio by default? [04:27] Jordan: that`s for me right ? [04:28] Language happens [04:28] will gnome stop to be the ubuntu main interface? is it true? [04:28] the vmlinuz line needs the acpi=off? [04:28] !thanks | Connor1 [04:28] Connor1: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:28] jordan_u; did that already in fact when i go to monitor settings it says vbox and only gives me the options of 800 x 600, 640 x 400, then 800 x 600 again [04:28] hmm, I tried compiling a much earlier stable release (I was compiling stable release) and still same error. Frustrating. [04:28] geoff918: thanx [04:29] Jordan_U: resolution is fixed, thank you...is it bad if there is a lot of scrolling output when i select the linux option from the grub menu? [04:29] magicblaze0073: likely. [04:29] Terufsx: what do u mean ? [04:30] shado`_: SUSE Enterprise is based on openSUSE (I think) [04:30] yes [04:30] TeruFSX: You are right about opensuse+suse E. [04:30] Tom1: No. That output is because you you don't have "quiet splash". You can add back quiet splash in /etc/default/grub, specifically GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash". Be sure to run "sudo update-grub" after editing /etc/default/grub. [04:30] Novell owns it though [04:30] yao_ziyuan: ubuntu does use pulseaudio [04:31] ... I just hosed my pendrive by doing a dd operation backward =( [04:31] Novell wants to make $$$ [04:31] shado`_: but because of that the products will be similar. thus, you can get an idea of what SUSE is like with openSUSE [04:31] i'm not sure if there is a legitimate trial or not [04:31] what, like shareware ? [04:31] Now I have to set up rvm again, ruby koans, my tmux rc my vimrc, my compiz settings, a whole host of install stuff etc =( [04:32] that`s my point: if I install it I might get snagged [04:32] Jordan_U: hmm, i don't think i have a grub direction in /etc/default/ [04:32] shado`_: that's why you use openSUSE first [04:32] why dont you ask in their channel [04:32] shado`_: ^ [04:32] to try out the general SUSE experience [04:32] TeruFSX: i don't know why distros with fresh packages (e.g. ubuntu, fedora) all use pulseaudio by default. on my machine, pulseaudio can't mix sounds. i always have to manually disable it. [04:32] Tom1: Ahh, I forgot you were left with some packages not fully installed. Run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc". [04:33] yao_ziyuan: I assume they have decided it is generally the best option. [04:33] TeruFSX: all right, so my machine which was bought in 2003 is outdated. [04:34] Teru: is opensuse available on the Ubuntu Software download ? [04:34] Jordan_U: i get the blue pop-up screen [04:34] shado`_: openSUSE is a completely separate OS [04:34] so it is not available there [04:34] http://software.opensuse.org/113/en [04:34] Jordan_U: "this system has files from the grub legacy boot loader installed....finish conversion to grub 2 now?" [04:34] Terhow do i install the alsa-driver? apt-get says not found? [04:34] yes [04:34] Then I`m confused between the two [04:34] Tom1: Yes. [04:35] shado`_: it's like Fedora (openSUSE) and RHEL (SUSE Enterprise) [04:35] ok geoff918: gotcha [04:35] shado`, OpenSUSE is a different distro. :) [04:35] No, no, Fedora is the open version of Red Hat [04:35] join ubuntu [04:35] qjoin ubuntu [04:35] openSUSE is the open version of SUSE [04:35] voila! [04:35] Jordan_U: i have to pick the grub install device [04:35] geoff918 same relation, though [04:35] seriously folks, has ubuntu stripped out debian's make-java-pkg app? or am i just forgetting the name? [04:36] TeruFSX: Yes, analogous: just the wrong analogy :) [04:36] Tom1: What are the options? (just need the sdXY portition). [04:36] Then there's Ubuntu which is the open version of the commercial Ubuntu [04:36] brb [04:36] what I mean was Fedora is to RHEL as openSUSE is to SUSE Enterprise [04:36] Jordan_U: sda and sda5 (windows and linux, respectively, right?) [04:37] hooouuuu [04:37] Right, I got you TeruFSX, I'm not trying to give you a hard time [04:37] okay. [04:39] Tom1: Select just sda. The options are the mbr of your hard drive and your Ubuntu partition. You almost always want to install grub to the mbr. [04:39] shado`_ Do you have any questions about which 'version' you ought to be downloading or installing? (I'm not sure what your experience level is with this stuff) [04:39] thanx you guys [04:39] every ubuntu distro does not work right with 5.1 audio [04:39] shado`_ BTW--Default for SUSE is KDE (not Gnome like Ubuntu) [04:39] geoff: not yet [04:39] Jordan_U: so the mbr is associated with the windows partition? [04:39] is there some kind of problem with 5.1 and linux? [04:39] hoooy [04:40] Tom1: No. It has nothing to do with windows vs linux. [04:40] can i kick youuuuuuu === glenn__ is now known as shiato [04:40] Geoff: I still a novice since Iǜe only been on LInux for about 4 months === dtcummin is now known as dtcummin_away === rlankfo_ is now known as rlankfo [04:40] geoff: I alrady have KDE [04:40] Well, I tried Ubuntu (first attempt at linux) with 8.04. I hate to say it, but I...well, despised it... [04:40] Tom1, the mbr is what DEFINES partitions... and contains the initial boot code the bios loads [04:40] Switched to Suse and loved it [04:41] jordan_U: this is what I get when i post lspci | grep VGA [04:41] then random bugs started happening [04:41] and Gnome of course [04:41] lots of errors all over the place [04:41] and then tried Ubuntu 9.04 and loved it. Been with Ubuntu since [04:41] jordan_U: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [04:41] outdated: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation [04:42] Is there any PCIe or PCI way expansion ? I run out of PCI slots and do not know what to do [04:42] geoff: do u pay for Suse: what does `open` mean ? [04:42] toshiba + acpi + ubuntu + laptop = trouble. I guess I should try opensuse? [04:42] shado`_ I do love yum [04:42] shado`_ you don't pay for openSUSE (at least you don't have to, you can always donate) [04:42] ok [04:42] acu_, buy a motherboard that has more slots, or find a way to use less slots [04:43] Jordan_U: okay, it finished installing [04:43] opensuse = reinstall everything every 2 years... :) [04:43] so Novell Suse has got to be different [04:43] toshiba + ubuntu = unresolved crash/hang problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550219&page=5 [04:43] Tom1: Ok. Reboot and you should see a splash screen instead of scrolling text. [04:43] Here's a weird one: Can I change the cwd of a process via sudo and /proc/ or something? [04:44] okay, do i need to modify /etc/default/grub still? [04:44] I bookmarked the webpage to download opensuse [04:44] shado`_ you'll find that opensuse has tons of software in its repositories (amazingly much), and I do really enjoy yum as a package manager. But, it just seemed to break on me after awhile (standard updates would sometimes throw the system for a very bad curve) [04:44] my KDE is unstable: the desktops keep switching [04:44] Jordan_U: nevermind, it's already in the file === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:45] then it`s hard to find the app I was on [04:45] shado`_ I love the appearance of KDE. I don't really enjoy anything else about it. [04:45] shado`_ Do you have a shortcut key enabled or 'screen hot spots'? [04:45] no [04:46] me too I love KDE [04:46] Tom1: The lack of the file was why the options weren't there in the first place. Installing the package installed Ubuntu's default settings as well. [04:46] shado`_ Well, do you need multiple desktops. A quick and dirty fix may be to simply reduce your number of desktops to 1. [04:47] well I really need at least 2: I a tutor who wants to teleconference on 1, and the other would be for email [04:47] shado`_ Ah, well that's pretty much out. (Except you may be able to do better with just two.) [04:47] Jordan_U: uh oh, the login screen is frozen again now [04:48] Geoff: but yeah, you are right: I can reduce [04:48] I`l try it with just 2 then [04:48] shado`_ I wonder if you could open more than one graphical session? e.g. use the one on F7, but also create a separate gdm session on another like F6? [04:48] oops, kdm? [04:49] Jordan_U: nevermind, it became unfrozen somehow? [04:50] u can [04:50] Geoff, I am writing notes about everything: I`ll try f7 too [04:50] geoff918, If you have a graphics card that supports it, you can use multiple monitors and extend your desktop. [04:51] Geoff: it`s not easy to switch from windows to Linux [04:51] I love Linux because there`s so much to learn [04:53] Jordan_U: thank you so much for your help, what is the proper way to edit the grub2 boot menu so i don't have future problems again? [04:53] * tiox facepalms [04:53] can someone tell me which package provides cmp? [04:53] Tom1: Edit settings in /etc/default/grub, and if you want to remove old kernels just uninstall them via apt/synaptic. [04:54] I knew the station's ID the entire time, I think i was malforming the .pls address. [04:54] Anyway, if people want to listen to WJXQ, 106.1 online, http://3033.live.streamtheworld.com:80/WJXQFMAACCMP3 [04:54] Sorry, I was playing with the session and corrupted my display. I was jumping around ctl-alt-f1, ctl-alt-f2 [04:54] katronixserf, cmp, to compare two files? [04:55] yes [04:55] Windows to Linux is not actually that hard. But, it is a completely different paradigm. I do find Linux actually easier in most any way you can imagine. [04:55] k, if i switch off acpi, my laptop does not hang. So it was acpi that was hanging it. Any ideas on how to fix this? [04:55] For one, well when the machine has an error--it comes out in plain english not hex dump. [04:56] magicblaze0073: you can change your boot flags to fix that [04:56] anirudhr yes [04:57] katronixserf, diffutils [04:57] thanks [04:57] katronixserf, No problem. :) Just a quick search away. [04:58] geoff918: how come u disconnected ? [04:58] since i've upgraded to 10.10, Deluge has started using 100% of 1 core of my CPU, any ideas? [04:59] Jordan_U: will sudo gedit grub & allow me to modify grub? [04:59] shado`_ I went ahead and corrupted my display when I was playing around. Hah. [04:59] lol [04:59] we`re only human [04:59] Tom1: No, you would use "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub". [04:59] geoff918: I can switch off acpi, but does that have any side effects. Also, no sensors show up on my box [04:59] so far [04:59] how do i schedule a fsck check on reboot? [05:00] shado`_ I had no screen, so I used a ctl-alt-f1 and went through the log-in without any visual feedback. Then I followed it with the sudo shutdown -r now, password [05:00] Jordan_U: ahh graphical sudo or whatever...thank you [05:00] I try to stay away from terminal commands as much as possible [05:00] Tom1: You're welcome. [05:01] Termianl goes way back to Unix [05:01] shado`_ Well, I do know a few things around the CLI. That for one helps to ensure I don't go corrupting data because it forces the clean shutdown [05:01] Terminal: my hands get ahead of me [05:01] shado`_ Yes, well TBH my favorite OS is still DOS. Which is probably why I'm at home at the *nix CLI. [05:01] what`s the CLi ? [05:02] geoff918: magic sysreq? [05:02] Command Line Interface [05:02] Jordan_U: and "sudo update-grub" after i modify anything in grub? [05:02] !sysreq [05:02] Tom1, Yes. [05:02] gartral: shutdown -f -r now [05:02] Tom1: Yes. [05:02] thank you [05:03] shado`_ If you try to stay away from the CLI, you may not be *that* interested in openSUSE. [05:03] oh Command Line Interface: I agree I liked most versions of dos: I have been using computers since 1973 [05:03] why ? [05:04] Tom1: You're welcome. [05:04] geoff: so open suse relies on terminal commands ? [05:04] shado`_ Ubuntu is probably the distro that most wants to get entirely away from terminal commands. It's the easiest to switch over to, and has the best n00b support [05:05] I have a multi-seat desktop. On one seat, I have the normal ubuntu/gnome setup. On the other, I have X/flux/mythtv. I just bought a remote control, I've installed lirc, and I want gnome to ignore the remote so I can have it directed to the mythtv X instance. I cannot figure out how to make gnome stop receiving events from the remote control. How can I do this? [05:05] Jordan_U: so should the old ubuntu versions still work on my machine? [05:05] yeh I know, but if I want to use CLI, I just cut and paste [05:05] shado`_ Doesn't rely upon, no. You'll merely find yourself there more than you expect. Ubuntu--I have friends that NEVER go to terminal. [05:05] and then you have people like me who basically live in the terminal [05:05] geoff918: to have linux and not use cli is a tragedy [05:06] exactly what I want, automatic software install so I can concentrate on work and fun [05:06] Tom1: You don't actually have the old version installed still, just the old version's kernel. [05:06] Geoff: Ubuntu does that well [05:06] see when linux is running and i just close my laptop .... reopen again after a while.... linux doesnt repond... doesnt open the previous state or doenst shows me the login window. [05:06] Tom1: Though I may have minunderstood your question. [05:06] Agreed. I love the CLI, too. But, I understand why some people avoid it. I try to offer advice *away* from the terminal whenever possible for newer users because it can be daunting [05:06] any idea on tht ? [05:06] Jordan_U: no, that was what i was wondering, thank you [05:07] gui requires too many steps to get stuff done... gui walkthroughs are best done in VoDs, not in text :) [05:07] how do i force gedit to open a file as plain text, ignoring special chars so that it shows something, not just the "bwah! i don't understand this, i'm not opening it" error? [05:07] Geoff: terminal is really for hard core programmers [05:07] shado`_: not really [05:07] shado`_ No, no. I'm not a programmer at all. [05:07] !hi | gartral [05:07] hard core users perhaps [05:07] can anyone help to make the volume indicator goes more than 100% from my Fn key ? [05:08] you want to turn it up to 11? [05:08] shado`_: no, terminal is for people who care to know what's actually going on in their system. [05:08] ok enlighten me again [05:08] shado`_: WTF [05:08] well said gartral [05:08] Tom1: You're welcome. [05:08] ty [05:08] "terminal is only for hardcore pogrammers' HAHAHAHAHAHAHA [05:08] !language | aL3x [05:08] aL3x: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:09] blakkheim: thank you. as a matter of fact, i'm in irssi, in terminal right now! :P [05:09] gartral: me too :3 [05:09] ssh+screen+irssi [05:09] language? i didnt say anything [05:09] shado`_ Honestly, I find a sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -y to be much faster and more effective than the whole GUI update manager thing [05:09] !welcome | eeveetrainer [05:09] prince_jammys, I do not where is the problem ? but making it 100% is making the sound so low, so everytime I have to go to the sound preferences and raise to the max which is higher than 100% [05:09] shado`_: terminal is for those who have recognized its power and speed to get some things done. Even you can learn the basics.. It's not programming, but controlling your computer easier/faster than the gui will do for some tasks. [05:09] I am logging all this [05:10] aL3x: we know what 'wtf' means, that doesn't hide it. [05:10] hi, how do i make a rooted bin? [05:10] Gnea: seriously? you cant even abbreviate in here? [05:10] aL3x: seriously. [05:10] blakkheim: i.. could never get the hang of screen. i know how to use it, but i always end up loosing it between reconnects [05:10] @aboSamoor are you talking about the main settings? I had an issue with earlier Ubuntu versions that required alsamixer to be adjusted at the CLI [05:10] scunizi: ok === aL3x is now known as wtf_ [05:10] is wtf really a nogo? [05:10] oh boy [05:10] lol, I see a kb coming [05:11] my real name is wallace thomas ferguson :P [05:11] wtf_: that might get you bounced === dumont- is now known as dumont [05:11] aL3x: please keep in mind this is an international english-speaking channel, abbreviations are primarily a Americanism [05:11] huh, I didn't realize that acronyms were specific to America [05:12] I guess that means to stick to the ever-favorite "wtfuzzies" [05:12] geoff918: i said primarily, not specifically [05:12] I thought wtf meant,,,,,,,Nevermind [05:12] Jordan_U: the login screen remains frozen for 1-2 minutes sometimes...is there something else i should run to make sure everything was updated correctly? [05:12] Tom1: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [05:12] Yes, nobody can destroy the English language quite as decisively as an American, I suppose. (I'm American) [05:13] hi [05:13] and a Canadian [05:13] eh ? [05:13] shado'_ What's that aboot? [05:13] alexlea: alright then? [05:13] Jordan_U: okay, it didn't change anything...is that a bad sign? [05:13] u mean about ? [05:13] !ot | geoff918 shado` [05:13] geoff918 shado`: #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! [05:13] geoff918: try translating Frank Zappa lyrics to any other language.. near impossible without getting into american social interaction, historic references etc.. [05:14] Well, we are quite ethnocentric: Canadians actually *are* Americans (North America) [05:14] ok ubottu [05:14] sorry [05:14] geoff918, yes, I am talking that 100% in the sound volume is not the max and not even close [05:14] Gnea: no one appreciates my sense of humor :( [05:14] geoff918: that is not ok. [05:15] @aboSamoor can you open a terminal window? [05:15] that's like calling a Tarheels fan a "person" [05:15] alexlea: it's just misplaced, we're a support channel and take it quite seriously. [05:15] Tom1: It means that the problem probably isn't that you have an incomplete upgrade. [05:15] geoff918, yes, I am a linux user for long time ;) [05:15] can you try the alsamixer route? [05:15] Gnea: well, my point i was tryng to make is *sometimes* abbreviations dont mean the same things for the same people [05:16] Jordan_U: okay, i never noticed it with previous versions of ubuntu though [05:16] 有人吗？ [05:16] Gnea: i am all about following rules, usually...and now that i am aware i will not even use abbreviations in here... [05:16] 不会吧 [05:16] jerry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:16] alexlea: which is quite offtopic. do you have an ubuntu-related question?

[05:17] geoff918, alsamixer is still reaching the same 100% but not the max [05:17] jerry: /join #ubuntu-cn [05:17] i dont speak english [05:17] ？ [05:17] alexlea: awesome [05:17] nobody [05:17] Tom1: If you log out and back in again does the login screen freeze the same way? [05:18] how to make full screen？ [05:18] Why does Ubuntu download packages during installation? Isn't everything on the CD? [05:18] yes [05:18] digital_838, for updates [05:18] Jordan_U: yes, i tried it several times [05:18] But I didn't check the option to download updates. [05:19] Jordan_U: sometimes it's better though [05:19] So why would it download them anyway? [05:19] do you speak chinese icant speak english [05:19] digital_838, did you select to install non-free stuff? MP3, Flash player, etc...? [05:19] digital_838: if you're plugged into the net it will update some packages for you on install... you still need a full "update" after install to catch everything. [05:19] Yes [05:19] Ok thanks. [05:20] And last question... Is PulseAudio working ok for you guys? [05:20] yep [05:20] * Gnea doesn't use pulseaudio [05:20] Ok thanks again [05:20] i don't understand [05:20] !cm [05:20] jerry: you need help in chinese? [05:20] ?

[05:21] yes [05:21] The sound lasts about 30 seconds, starts stuttering and then just quits entirely. [05:21] jerry: okay, #ubuntu is English-only. [05:21] o [05:21] Is there a #Wine channel?

[05:21] Thanks. [05:22] jerry: does that make sense? [05:22] thanks [05:22] hi, i'm having trouble getting virtualbox-3.2 running on maverick [05:22] beejeebus: version 3.2.10 leads to the output in the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/yKPfxMGi [05:22] i'm using the virtualbox repository as per: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [05:22] does the "Make Startup Disk" option of creating a usb install allow you to choose the size of the swap partition? [05:22] Gnea do you use Alsa instead of Pulse Audio? [05:22] digital_838: yes [05:22] Jordan_U: no, I can't hit enter either [05:23] Gnea: It's all stable and good even after removing PulseAudio? [05:23] digital_838: on my systems, yes [05:23] Cool thx. [05:23] Appreciate the info Gnea [05:23] digital_838: there are some soundcards that require pulseaudio for full use, though [05:23] beejeebus: looks like you have a bad dkms.conf file.. you might rename it and try the install again.. your paste/post shows the actual location of the file. [05:24] Scunizi: thanks, i'll give that a whirl [05:24] 晕 [05:25] Gnea: I could be wrong, but it seems to me that PulseAudio is lagging my whole system. I get lots of messages in /Var/Logs/Messages and the system gets periods of sluggishness for a few seconds and then it just goes away. Like I could type, and my input is being buffered and not displayed. After a few seconds, everything catches up. I want to see if this is PulseAudio causing this. [05:25] sdfsasdf [05:25] So I'm going to try to remove it. [05:26] pulseaudio has caused me a lot of issues as well... [05:26] digital_838: unfortunately, pulseaudio hasn't been designed within ubuntu very well to do proper detection, it just blindly assumes that it will work [05:26] Anyone? Ever made a USB install with the ubuntu disk? [05:26] !usb | Maahes [05:26] Maahes: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:27] Did they do something different in 10.10 with PulseAudio that they did in Lucid? Could it just be a Kernel issue? [05:27] hi [05:27] hoi [05:28] digital_838: pulseaudio is a daemon, not a kernel module. it sits on top of alsa, basically [05:28] digital_838: I occationally get that "lag" with the computer on my 10.04 kubuntu install as well.. haven't had time to try figuring it out. [05:28] Jordan_U: i just did a complete shutdown and the curse is still frozen at the login screen [05:29] digital_838: although it's not consistant.. I put my machine through a lot during the day.. [05:29] Same here [05:30] digital_838: my suspicion is the video driver.. I'm currently using the stock supplied nvidia driver from Hardware Manager.. it's not the most current driver available.. [05:30] Scunizi that seems like a likely suspect. [05:30] I hate doing manual installs of the NVidia driver tho : ( [05:31] But I guess that's something to try too. Thanks [05:31] digital_838: don't bother.. it's a real pain on 10.10 & 10.04.. there's a PPA with the latest on Launchpad that makes it a breeze [05:31] Tom1: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" and the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

[05:37] what would you like me to do about the terminal output? [05:37] apz_: No, there are current releases with PPC support, they're just not officially supported by Ubuntu/Canonical. [05:38] what's the name of ubuntu's 10.04 theme? Where can I find it? [05:38] Gnea: It didn't exactly answer the question I had though, which was: Does installing from ubuntu allow you to choose the size of the swap partition? [05:39] Maahes: only if you manually do the partitioning while in that section during install. Or by partitioning prior to install. [05:39] how can I tell aptitude/synaptic to not upgrade my kernel? [05:39] Maahes: yes, but you need to partition manually [05:39] Maahes: oh, you didn't ask that initially. yes, you can. [05:40] Gnea: I had, but about 20 lines above, I was referring to my previous question. It's cool ^_^ [05:40] apz_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [05:40] Maahes: cheers :) [05:40] Good Morning [05:40] i am trying to use pgrep click to find the pids of programs called clickxxxx but it isnt returning anything...any ideas? [05:41] It saves me a lot of time to be able to do it that way. Otherwise I'd have to go over to the windows machine I have admin rights on, download, and install that way, because the usb-creator utility requires admin rights for some reason [05:41] Hola [05:41] hi folks - where do i go to get the source code for mlocate? [05:41] billy_: you might find it on packages.ubuntu.com [05:42] billy_: by using apt-get source [05:42] Jordan_U: okay, i figured it out...here is the output from the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/520560/ [05:42] thanks folks [05:42] billy_: apt-get source mlocate [05:42] Hola a todos [05:42] Maahes: it requires elevated rights because it bypasses Windows' drive cacheing and directly writes to the usb stick (considered dangerous for some f-ed-up reason) [05:42] I'm working on restoring my grub2 (ubu 10.04) after a windows install... I've used the livecd method mentioned in the docs but I ended up with a grub prompt.. anyone else got a favorite method to do it?

[05:43] aspire 5100 to be specific - but all i'm wondering about are the etools quick keys on the keyboard. [05:43] eaerth: that's not going to get you far... you're better off just stating the problem and make/model # [05:44] Gnea: it's not necessarily a problem so much as an inquiry... i can't seem to find it searching the net. [05:44] nullp0inter, 'pgrep click' should return what you're after. if it returns nothing, there are no running copies of that/those programs [05:44] i'm just wondering if it's possible to hotkey acer's quick keys in ubuntu? [05:45] eaerth: try the live cd and see if they work [05:45] rbnicknej: i needed pgrep -f ...thanks though! [05:45] Scunizi: sorry, try the live cd to check if there is a driver for it orrr? [05:45] eaerth: etools quick keys? [05:45] Gnea: yes [05:45] eaerth: oh.. you looking for a driver ? to make the keys active? [05:46] Tom1: I don't have any ideas at the moment. [05:46] eaerth: I'm not following.... you want to make inactive keys active? [05:46] i know it's an acer/windows thing but i was thinking maybe it could be made compatible with ubuntu? 'S [05:46] Jordan_U: no problem, it's getting pretty late here [05:46] Scunizi: yessss [05:46] Jordan_U: thank you so much for your help the past few days though [05:46] Gnea: yessir. [05:46] !keys | eaerth [05:46] eaerth: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [05:46] eaerth: get keytouch [05:46] is there anything to check for backdoors [05:47] eaerth: these are "special" keys on your computer? You might find they work out of the box.. try the live cd.. otherwise you can alway try mapping them with keytouch [05:47] Jordan_U: you saved me a ton of time and software installation headaches [05:47] Tom1: You're welcome. [05:47] Gnea, Scunizi, yeah, i have to map them but i can't fgure out what keymap to use from the provided ones, simply Acer Laptop mayhap? [05:48] eaerth: no idea [05:49] eaerth: typically the keyboard is autodiscovered on install or when running the live cd.. mapping with keytouch is after all that. [05:49] Gnea, Scunizi - thanks guys, i'm checking out keytouch right now, hopefully it works! :D [05:50] basically want to hotkey a toggle for compiz/metacity because for some reason compiz is giving me a black screen from time to time... maybe taking too mch cpu perhaps? i don't know... i can't figure out what's causing it but i'm hoping this toggle will at least get me out of the black screen without having to shut down every time. [05:51] hello [05:51] hi [05:52] oh,hi [05:52] eaerth: ah.. you could use .bash_aliases to put the command in.. when it black screens ctrl+alt+F2 login and then issue the command you associate with the alias.. ctrl+alt+F7 back to gui [05:52] trying to wine a .exe and it says to 'install the windows version of mono to use .NET' what should i do? [05:53] install mono [05:53] hi all [05:54] Scunizi: that's the thing though, i think compiz takes over the whole screen so even when i try bringing up terminal it stays black... but some process still work because i can still shut down properly... [05:54] when i try creating the base image of Windows 2003 server with qemu-kvm. the windows machine boots again and agin with the setup files [05:55] eaerth: go direct to a tty with ctrl+alt+f2 .. might lag a bit to get there.. but it should get there. [05:56] katronixserf: how though? in wine? normally, what? [05:56] normally, windows doesn't use mono [05:56] prabha: you doing that direct from the cd or did you create an iso from the cd? [05:56] how do I install the oracle JRE? [05:57] MagusOTB_: sudo apt-get install sun-java-jre [05:57] Scunizi: thanks [05:57] i m doing from iso [05:57] Scunizi: alright, i'll try that too... thanks man. [05:57] kvm -m 1024 -cdrom /root/windows-server.iso -drive file=windownew.img,if=scsi,boot=off -nographic -vnc :1 [05:58] i m using this command [05:58] prabha: perhaps a bad iso.. sorry I really don't have any idea.. perhaps there's a qemu channel. [05:58] how can I check under what user apache is running? I'm on ubuntu 10.04 [05:58] me using too [05:58] i can view in the vnc viewer [05:58] on Xampp [05:58] ? [05:58] Scunii: no such package... [05:58] but it keeps on coming to setup file [05:58] allaire: it runs under www-data I believe [05:58] allaire: Yes it runs under www-data in Ubuntu. [05:59] ok [05:59] MagusOTB: use synaptic package manager and enable the partners repository.. refresh.. search for sun-java.. should be there. [05:59] so for upload directory or logs directory, I should chown it to that user? [05:59] instead of using chmod 777 [05:59] allaire: you tring to install joomla or something? [06:00] no [06:00] allaire: Yes the uploads directory if has write permissions to that user should suffice. [06:00] allaire: then yes.. chown for that user. [06:01] Hi Guys in my updates configurations i have a option for maverick look http://imagebin.org/120463 im using 10.4 lucid [06:01] but if I chown it to that specific user, I wont be able to upload anything in it via my sftp no? [06:01] Scunizi: for future reference, it's sun-java6-jre [06:01] can i install updates from maverick ? [06:01] in my 10.4 vertion [06:01] MagusOTB: I knew I missed something.. glad you found it. [06:01] Soraya: No. [06:02] Soraya: it's not a question of CAN, it's a question of SHOULD, and the answer is no.

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[06:04] gartral, i used visudo [06:04] Guest2051: sudo is normal.. sometimes you have to have extended root access to install something.. sudo -i will get you to the same place you expected with sudo su.. but correctly.

I tried to mount a flash drive using sudo, but it tells me I need a password? What's the password to user ubuntu? [06:14] NerwenGreen: hit enter [06:14] when I did that, it told me "ubuntu is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."

[06:16] hi [06:16] <_jesse_> dr0id: no they are in some byte format [06:16] also along with me, my partner remains online on this account, so when he is offline and say I am talking to somebody, then he comes online, can he see those chat logs?

[06:18] <_jesse_> gartral: are you sure the logs are stored centrally? I'm having trouble finding that in the docs [06:19] gartral: #skype says it's stored in the computer :) [06:19] _jesse_: also #skype has only 3 buds :P [06:20] Guest2051: I know it may seem pointless, but since your /etc/group looks fine and it sounds like your /etc/sudoers is correct as well it means there's something we're missing, so it helps to just confirm that the user is in the group as expected. [06:21] hi, could anyone please tell me a good software for karoke in ubuntu, i installed pykaroke but it's not working [06:21] Jordan_U, the missing part is I was entering in the wrong password, I changed the password and now it works.

[06:26] actually, I was browsing catb.org, and noticed the prog... so I ran an apt-get [06:26] I can now run it, but no sound [06:26] Hi, is there any way to know the origin country of a file? [06:27] gartral, not sure... I have 10.10, and ALSA running... and there's no option in terminal - profile prefs to choose sound server [06:28] hariom: The most likely anser is no, but what type of file? [06:29] gartral, and there's no option in morse to select sound server [06:29] What's the password for user ubuntu to use sudo from a 10.04.1 live CD? Hitting enter just gets me "ubuntu is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." [06:29] NerwenGreen: the password is 1234 [06:29] Jordan_U: It is an open office file [06:30] Excel file [06:30] Pr3nt1c3, in terminal if you do morse -i does it report a permission problem? [06:30] neitengeuker: it says "sorry, try again" [06:31] coz_, not any more, I fixed the perms [06:31] now it's just sound [06:31] Hey folks, I have an issue with Banshee's output volume compared to other apps (Rythmbox, Mplayer etc). While all the other app output vol's are about the same Banshee is _really_ quiet, even with the internal slider up at 100%. Ubuntu 10.04 & Banshee 1.8 from thePPA. Any ideas? [06:32] whats the password to the ubuntu user on the desktop cd? screen is locked and is asking for pass [06:32] Pr3nt1c3, mm same here actually have you tried aldo sudo apt-get install aldo although i would reach about it first [06:32] hmm, no I haven't coz_ [06:32] <_jesse_> flaccid: just leave it blank [06:33] _jesse_: it says authentication failure [06:33] <_jesse_> then something went wrong [06:33] <_jesse_> it's just the normal live CD ? === Schoentoon_ is now known as Schoentoon [06:34] afk: if anyone knows how to get speakers working for morse from terminal, let me know (I've already enabled systm speaker, and a sound theme from alsa prefs) [06:34] Pr3nt1c3, here is alist of possible trainers http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/06/morse-code-training-application-on-ubuntu-linux.html here is aldo's homepage http://www.nongnu.org/aldo/ and this is the link I gave before for morse http://www.nongnu.org/aldo/ [06:34] _jesse_: yes desktop 10.10 cd [06:34] <_jesse_> flaccid: hrm [06:34] <_jesse_> flaccid: try rebooting it [06:35] ok [06:35] so there's vim tutor... are there any other console tutors like that for say python? php? shell? [06:36] Pr3nt1c3, did you open a terminal and type alsamixer and take a look at the sliders to see if volume is down or muted? [06:38] obs3rv3r: how to login to synaptic package manager as administrator [06:38] hi all, how would i look for a sound process that is making an unusual sound effect at seemingly random times? [06:39] Is it possible to implement the functionality in Nautilus, by virtue of which Dolphin is able to play Videos without opening them (in the sidebar)? [06:39] ramk: Well, whenever you open it, it asks for the password and you're logged in as the root. [06:40] nope [06:40] its doesnt ask me for my password [06:40] ramk: System>Adminstration>synaptic package manager .... give a password. [06:40] wow [06:40] it jus opens [06:40] ramk, did you open it within the last few minutes of having opened it? [06:40] ramk: Then whenever you make changed, it will ask you the password. [06:40] its not asking [06:41] * changes [06:41] coz_ os right, sometimes root privileges remain for 10 minutes (sudo/gksudo). [06:41] rocket16: true . [06:41] rocket16: 5 minutes I guess . [06:41] hariom: While I wouldn't rule out the possibility I wouldn't know specifically to go about it. Some information that I wouldn't be surprised to see in an Excel file would be the time zone (for dates) and the local currency symbol. The codepage would certainly be in the Exel file, but these days that will almost always be UTF8 no matter what country it's from. [06:42] obs3rv3r: Indeed, I am not sure regarding the duration. [06:42] rocket16, does dolphin allow mouse over video? is that what you meant? [06:42] i doubt it though [06:43] coz_: Actually, whenever you select the video, you get a small display in the right, on the sidebar (video preview). And you get small buttons like 'Play', 'Pause', 'Stop' and so on. When one clicks on 'Play', it starts playing on the preview window. [06:44] hi [06:44] coz_: It uses Phonon. [06:44] Hi hgh [06:44] ramk, if you open synaptic once the system will hold onto your password for several minutes until it is released so when you re open synaptic it will NOT ask for password I am not sure of the current password time limit on maverick [06:44] rocket16, ah ok === ubuntu is now known as OEP [06:44] hey can someone help me with some c++ programing ? [06:45] hi rocket16 [06:45] rocket16, I am not sure there is a nautilus "video prview" for side panel ...that one you may have to google for a bit :) [06:45] rocket16, unless , of course someone here knows :) [06:45] i cannot get this to run , http://pastebin.com/nAT9qg8N [06:45] when i closed and opened it again [06:45] Can you dist-upgrade to amd64 from i386? [06:45] its still not asking [06:45] coz_: Indeed, I tried the same, and the results are negative. :D [06:45] ramk, right then you will not get a password prompt [06:45] coz_: Still, thanks for the help. :) [06:45] i am really new to this cpp [06:45] I'm failing really bad at recovering grub2 after a windows install; has anyone had any luck with this?

[06:46] Maahes: lsof I think [06:46] rocket16, sorry I have searched and tried various optons for even mouse over video preview and none out there ..at least none that seem to work well [06:46] where i can set that wen everytime i open synaptic [06:46] i want prompt [06:46] i tried that channel , but i cannot ##c++ Cannot send to channel [06:46] Maahes: [06:46] Anyone? Dist-upgrade from i386 to amd64? [06:47] hgh: Then ##C++-basic will be better [06:47] Maahes: type top [06:47] ramk, that one I am not sure of... it is set systemically to hold on to the password for a few minutes ...maybe less... [06:47] some command to set the pref i believe [06:47] Maahes, if you meant a file then look up lsof [06:47] let me go a round for it [06:47] galoisfield: nono, what I mean is. I have a volume I can't unmount because something is using something in it. I want to find out what is using the volume and kill it. [06:48] sometimes im confuzed which level im in for that app in linux [06:48] sometimes i need super user [06:48] Maahes: wild guess, but lsof /dev/* ? [06:48] else sometime it doenst care [06:48] OEP, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:48] Dying distro I guess everyone went to Ubuntu? [06:48] ramk: In a terminal, type ""gksudo --description /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/sbin/synaptic". If it asks for password, it's ok. Or else, you're already using it as the root. [06:48] Maahes: then lsof shud work i thnk.. [06:49] rank its not that it doesnt care...it is simply holding onto the password for a minute or so ...it will expire [06:49] krishnandu: yeah I am reading that... I've followed the standard grub-install method and got different results each time [06:49] ramk: Without the quotes certainly. [06:49] certainly [06:49] :) [06:49] :) [06:49] <_jesse_> TheSarge: that sounds like a bad idea; I'd just wipe and start from scratch [06:49] OEP, Ohh...I followed that and I succeeded [06:50] krishnandu: hah, I must have something special going on. out of curiosity, what was your partition setup like? [06:50] rocket16: it didnt ask still [06:50] _jesse_: Eh the wireless sucks to setup though [06:50] im really confuzed more now [06:50] :( [06:51] OEP, / and swap [06:51] ramk: Then you're already the root. No need to worry, you are just having the sudo privileges. [06:51] ola galera [06:51] <_jesse_> TheSarge: ah, well switching to 64bit would more than likely use different wifi drivers anyway if that's what you are referring to? [06:51] i dont want to be in as root [06:51] OEP, Windows - NTFS-Data-/-swap-arch [06:51] _jesse_: ouch I didn't think of that [06:51] i want to see my privileges? where can i ? [06:52] ramk group === krishnandu is now known as Krishnandu [06:52] krishnandu: ok. I have windows on sda1 with boot there, /, /home, and swap all on sdb. I've since merged /boot and / [06:52] I really miss Old Grub :( [06:52] ramk, when I open synaptic for the first time it asks for password,,, then I close synaptic .. shortly afterwards I open synaptic again because i want to install something else...but it will not ask for password again since the password did not expire from when I just opened it [06:52] s/group/groups/g [06:53] slackware irc ?anyone ? [06:53] OEP, Then I think you must install grub2 in sdb. Not sure. [06:53] Could it be possible to select different software to be installed on Ubuntu before installation? My problem is that I want to install an entire system, not a live system on a 2GB thumb drive [06:53] <_jesse_> TheSarge: run the 64bit live cd just to see; perhaps you'll be lucky and it'll work out of the box [06:53] coz: i understood what u said.... all im asking is where i can defer it . i want it to ask everytime the password [06:53] maybe there is a way to disable the time for password expiration [06:53] hgh, ##slackware [06:53] i dont want it to store the pass [06:53] Krishnandu: well that's the drive which it overwrites the MBR right?

[08:45] celtibero: it's a way to easily pull in (i don't know why someone would ever do this) all of the default programs in a vanilla installation [08:45] jpds: PM, dont want to get into a public arguement, and drag the whole channel in [08:45] !ubuntu-desktop | celtibero [08:45] celtibero: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [08:45] !metapackage [08:45] A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in.

[08:46] hi [08:46] blakkheim I removed it but still have the games, for example. And OpenOffice, which is installed by default. [08:47] celtibero: yeah, removing it doesn't actually remove anything, that's what i am trying to tell you [08:47] blakkheim Ok, I think I understand now... [08:48] Just removes the 'list of packages to install script' [08:48] Yes, I understand... [08:48] '/etc/init.d/gdm stop' that'll sort out your gui woes :) [08:48] Do you know any way to recover the boot screen? I lost it when I installed LIRC? [08:51] Is there still a large difference in drivers for nvidea and ati cards? I know a few years ago driver support for ati cards was rather bad.

I hope your right. [08:53] knoppies: if so, not as much [08:53] i installed conky but can't find it in apps, is there some command to start it? [08:53] yeah,ubuntu font [08:53] How do I set Nano as the default text based file editor? [08:53] It's a shame Maverick had to ship with kernel 2.6.35 [08:53] celtibero: System>Preferences>Sound [08:53] Because that kernel version sux [08:53] snipe, conky [08:53] knoppies: dont quote me on that [08:53] racecar56 It doesn't appear on the drop down menu.

[08:54] celtibero: don't know, you're missing some package then? [08:54] racecar56 PulseAudio :s [08:54] sure it is [08:54] snipe, you might want to edit the config file to your liking, if I am not mistaken the default one is rather horid. [08:54] I hate PulseAudio [08:54] thanks racecar56. [08:54] knoppies: y/w [08:54] ewww pulseaudio [08:55] Although I read the lead dev of PulseAudio blames Ubuntu for their packaging of it. [08:55] celtibero: gnome-media [08:55] celtibero: that package provides it [08:55] thanks knoppies .. that was more simple than i expected lol [08:55] How long is a typical wait before we see Kernel 2.6.36 released?

Anyone able to help? [09:09] hyperstream: Thanks... that's a good idea. I think I'll start trying that. I hate having to rebuild all that afterwards. [09:09] blakkheim: so for now there's no stoping this firesheep in *nix distros am i right? but the great thing on having *nix distros is that the attacker spend time on breakin those packets the decrypted ones right? [09:09] LDC, might be a hardware issue, im not sure, ive brought motherboards, where the pc speaker had to be ripped out as it thought there was no graphics card(according to the beep code in manual) it worked fine and booted into an os lol, died 2 months later [09:09] How do I get out of this thing?

[09:31] YeTr2: D'oH! [09:31] Xlaits: actually, it's bad-form all around, /etc/alternatives should be handling it.

[09:32] emmanuel: /join #ubuntu-es [09:32] YeTr2: And how do I fix ths? [09:32] ok thanks blakkheim [09:32] Xlaits: you should be able to specifiy the ruby executable in the configure script, or you can change the symlink. [09:33] you could just try removing the old version if you don't intend to use it. [09:33] YeTr2: Which is easier? [09:33] Xlaits: pastebin `./configure --help` [09:33] so. I'm running ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition off a usb stick, and I went to "try ubuntu" to which it said I didn't have a driver necessary to run unity [09:34] Can't get libvirtd listen tcp/tls in Maverick. Added --listen argument to /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf and restarted daemon without any effect. Also initctl --reload-configuration and killing process has no effect. Do I really need reboot whole machine? [09:34] (running an nvidia 310-m) -- if I install it to disk is there a way to find a possible driver? [09:34] hi all [09:34] I'd much rather run unity over the standard gnome [09:35] what is canonical IS [09:35] dazappa: I think it's required to set up certs or it won't work [09:35] muppis: i think I read somewhere that it is a bug [09:35] hi guys [09:35] dazappa: try using an eariler version of ubuntu [09:35] YeTr2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/520656/ [09:35] hey hasen [09:35] lfa33, great...

[09:39] Xlaits: short example for using /etc/alternatives for managing ruby [09:39] i solved my problem [09:39] guys, i got confused how to make IRC channel and register it [09:39] Xlaits: or you can use rvm [09:39] i did chkdsk, defragged and chkdsk again or something like that [09:40] ok WTF? [09:40] YeTr2: Hopefully, it'll fix everything. I'm a complete newbie at this. T_T [09:40] !unity > kisuke [09:40] hasen: ask in #freenode, this is the ubuntu support channel [09:41] Xlaits: rvm is a ruby gem, it can help manage your ruby installations and make fun stuff happen [09:41] kisuke: how can i? [09:41] Xlaits: looks easier than /etc/alternatives [09:41] #freenode [09:41] hasen: type "/join #freenode" with out the quotes [09:41] YeTr2: X3 Good! How exactly do I do that?

[09:49] airtonix: hm, yeah, I was hoping for a way around that [09:49] kisuke: indeed I was [09:49] airtonix: it seems not-unreasonable to want to avoid having 256 virtul interfaces, but still have a many-to-one mapping [09:50] (airtonix: I know this is more a pure-linux rather than an ubuntu thing) [09:50] adxp`, or you could use some kind of arp spam [09:50] dazappa: can you give me a racap? i dont wanna scroll up several dozen lines of text :( [09:51] kisuke: live 10.10 netbook edition, when it started it complained about not having a driver so it defaulted to standard gnome [09:51] Does anyone know of an alternative programme to readline 6.1? [09:51] kisuke: I guess propriatary drivers from nvidia weren't on the usb disk, so all I can really do is hope if I install to the hdd then install drivers, unity will be content with the driver [09:51] dazappa: ok, that makes no sence what so ever, if it did not have a driver, why did it boot at all? or into vesa mode? [09:52] dazappa: try forceing vesa mode [09:52] hello world [09:52] kisuke: it has a driver, gnome's started happily atm. I think the driver would the be same prop. driver for, ex. compiz effects [09:52] anyone got the unity specs on hand? [09:52] kisuke: unity.ubuntu.com ? [09:52] kisuke: rather, the one it wants [09:53] dazappa: if it can start gnome, i see no reason why it cannot start another desktop enviorment, can you give me the exact error text?

[10:13] EvaLuaTe, is that after a few attempts(it starts sitting at checking password) [10:13] kisuke, even if it wouldn't be, shouldn't it just say "incorrect password" and let me type it in again? I mean, it jsut hangs doing nothing, the only solution after that is for me to kill x with ctrl+alt+bksp [10:13] noob-tux: That's just the skin, it will still have all the GNOME applications installed.

Support ended on 30 April 2010 [10:49] hyperstream: I know, I don't know what to do, I can't reinstall the system all over again [10:50] Xlaits: or, you could try ruby from one of the PPA's [10:50] YeTr2: PPA? [10:50] ghaleb, i would stick it into another machine as a slave, recover all the data required, and use a newer release of ubuntu [10:51] hyperstream: the /home and all data is on another disk [10:51] hyperstream: it's nightmare to reinstall the whole system again [10:51] Hi! Does anyone know the easiest way to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10? tq [10:51] hyperstream: it works as a server :( [10:51] wisevoyager: Get a 10.10 distro. [10:52] ghaleb, im sorry mate, im not sure never used 8.10. [10:52] back in 20 [10:52] Xlaits, how can I do that? [10:52] ghaleb: the kernel is probably running, but the root filesystem might not be mounted. Do the start up messages tell you anything why it can't properly boot? be sure to take away the 'quiet' option in boot parameters [10:52] also you don't want 'splash' [10:52] How I prevent respawn from upstart? [10:52] wisevoyager: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu === ty is now known as Guest86220 [10:53] Xlaits, thx :D [10:53] wisevoyager: A word of warning, though... [10:53] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: thanks ,it tells me "Kernel alive" [10:53] Program is already running and even I comment respawn out, it still respawns. [10:53] wisevoyager: It WILL erase everything on your HDD... [10:54] wisevoyager: easiest is to use the upgrade option from inside your running 10.04. Takes long, though. if you have teh bandwidth and the resources, you might consdier reinstalling [10:54] hello. i need a gui program that will search for word within document. in googleing i found a searchmonkey, but before i install it, i wanted to ask does anone recommend some other similar program [10:55] liberan: just use grep [10:55] liberan: Trial and error my friend. Try it, then find something else if you don't like it. [10:55] YeTr2: What's ppa? [10:55] !PPA [10:55] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [10:55] liberan: doesn't any GUI text editor support searching words inside a document? If you watn to do this recursively, over numerous files, consider using grep in the command line interface. [10:55] YeTr2: Nevermind. [10:56] blakkheim, i am aware of grep command. i asked for gui. Xlaits that is good suggestion, but for example, i had to download 5 different mp3 players to find one that will do the trick for now [10:57] liberan: Well, that's how I do things. If something dosn't work, try a different program. [10:57] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, actually, for exact thing i need now, grep would do, but sometimes i need something that gui is much more useful and friendly to a newbie [10:58] this comes in comparision to m$ os, such trivial things are very easy to do for newbie. [10:59] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: it stops at run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit , USB Universial Host Controller Interface Driver v3.0 [11:00] udev_rules_rules_apply_format: unknown format variable '$PWJ3"' [11:00] and stucks here [11:00] ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/..... doext not exist, opping to shell! [11:01] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: any idea ? [11:01] i'm not sure, no. I would probably personally mount the disk in another machine, securing the data etc [11:01] you might want to upgrade to a newer version, anyways [11:02] anybody here know where the Banshee executable program is in Ubuntu [11:02] ? [11:03] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: yeah.. no way .. reinstalling on another disk, thank you all [11:03] is it safe to replace new /etc with old /etc ? [11:03] anybody here know where the Banshee executable program is in Ubuntu [11:03] how can I route 5 vlans to one interface?

Intel integrated graphics (core i3 530) [11:08] obs3rv3r: i am trying to accommodate 5 vlans on the network that already exist but just provide one DHCP range - so I thought if I routed those 5 vlans to one interface I can just provide DHCP on that interface === wolf is now known as Guest16395 === Guest16395 is now known as wolfhound [11:13] Helllo what does this error message mean hd0,0NTF5S, No Wuibldr .

[11:45] zetheroo: switch to tty1 and restart GDM [11:45] Martiini, Disk layout shouldn't be different. You are probably confusing notations with layout. I.e., primary, extended and logical partition should be the same. Only Windows shows them with different drive letters [11:45] Martiini, how did you help me? [11:45] hateball: by tty do you mean command line? [11:46] zetheroo: Yes [11:46] Naznaz, by telling you .. that you dont need gdm themeing [11:46] hateball: ok ... how do i restart the gdm? [11:46] zetheroo: ctrl+alt+f1, log in, service gdm restart, ctrl+alt+f7 if it doesnt move you there by itself [11:46] Martiini: I don't think your opinion that themeing is not needed, while it is available in GDM, is helpful. [11:46] Martiini, it's Naznaz 's preference [11:46] Martiini, there's a lot things you don't need but maybe want? This is a channel for questions about Ubuntu so please stop bitching [11:47] greppy, gaveen thanks [11:47] Naznaz, stop crying about your gdm themeing ....

It is not yours to decide what I ask here, so please leave me to my problems and questions. I want to know that so I ended up here, same as you. [11:50] ah and then moving. ok. nasty [11:50] hateball: is it because it's running on a desktop as opposed to on a Netbook?

[11:51] ok.

[12:50] hi. after i did restart today, i cant log in into ubuntu or into rescure mode. grub is properly installed, i see my ubuntu, ubuntu rescure mode, memory test and winxp options, but when i click on ubuntu or ubuntu rescue system just hangs. what to do? [12:50] i'm compiling some simple code [12:50] marccc^, perhaps join ##C or #C++ ? [12:50] i would google the thing out, but i dont know what exactly is a problem [12:51] but it looks like it only on ubuntu [12:51] does ubuntu 10.04 have TRIM support for ssd? [12:51] marccc^: could you check this to see if this is your problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563481 [12:52] I don't know how to set compiz settings! [12:52] when i go on rescue, it starts to load, and stops after line /script/intr or something like that [12:53] obsidieth: Ah, gnome-screenshot has a -d option, that works just fine. Thank you. [12:53] jbl, 3rd jan 2010 ;/ [12:53] rypervenche, thats handy to know :) [12:54] Is there any way I can just make a screenshot of a selected area of the screen? It just might be some text (dragging the mouse to select area would be nice) === nouitfvf is now known as nouitfvf|aw [12:54] live cd gparted is refusing to start X. any help? [12:54] rypervenche, how do you manage to run that while the places menu is open ? [12:55] I got 2 laptop choose: GeForce GTX 460,Core i7-740QM,6GB RAM,500GB SSD/HDD,DVD±RW, and Radeon HD5870,Core i7-720QM,6GB RAM,500GB Hybrid HDD,DVD±RW,webcam,BT, (What specs to choose?) The diff of i7-740QM and i7-720QM (What gives the best performance?) [12:55] suigeneris: go on custom settings, and select apropriate resolution and driver mode for load, example 1024 768 and nv (nvidia) ati (radeon) etc [12:56] !best [12:56] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:56] raidghost, the 5870 outperforms the 460 easily. So if it is gaming you're after, theres your answer [12:56] hypermodern: I run it in a terminal and it works fine. I suppose I could do alt-F2 as well so it doesn't mess up my screen. [12:56] liberan type 1? [12:56] rypervenche, when ever i try to click the terminal, the menu dissapears [12:57] hypermodern: You type "gnome-screenshot -d 5" hit enter, then click on the menu and wait. [12:57] if you go on custom, you pick what resolution you are sure your computer support, i had to select 5 for a laptop i was fixing, his native resolution, and ati for his drivers, suigeneris [12:57] rypervenche, ahh, crap sorry bud, i should read the man pages hehe- thanks for the info [12:58] hypermodern: No problem. As long as we're learning there's no problem at all :) [12:59] i've been trying to set up conky for the first time and messed up somewhere .. any help here with that? [12:59] snipe: what's the problem? [12:59] Is there a way to update Ubuntu Studio from version 10.04 to 10.10 from Synaptic? [12:59] hypermodern: process should be the same as normal ubuntu [12:59] !upgrade > hypermodern [12:59] hypermodern, please see my private message [12:59] Today after update, i did restart, i get to a grub, but then when i click on ubuntu or ubuntu rescue mode, system just hangs. i am able to boot into winxp. what can it be a problem? GNOME crash? what can i do to locate problem so that i can google for a solution [13:00] OK, thank you, I'm running regular 10.10 and wanted to get the app updates. [13:00] liberan: what point is it hanging at ? [13:00] twosplit [13:00] whoops [13:00] sorry [13:01] ikonia: in ubuntu just after i enter it, and in ubuntu rescue, it starts to load, but stops after loading some file in /script/ [13:01] i installed it once but didn't like the default screen , i tried to change it by following post in the forums and then it wouldn't start. i tried to uninstall to start over but the conky files are still there. [13:02] snipe: the conky config files will remain until you manually delete them [13:02] liberan: I need you to get the exact error when booting rescue mode please [13:02] how do i manually delet them .. move to trash is greyed out ? [13:02] ok, ikonia , i will reboot now and write the line after the system stops to load [13:02] liberan: perfect [13:03] snipe: how did you edit them ? [13:03] snipe: and exactly which files did you edit [13:03] I want to redirect the output of a cron job to a log file. So I wrote in crontab the line: * * * * * /home/oracle/test.sh &> /home/oracle/test.log #END Instead of writing the output to the specified logfile, an empty logfile is created but the output is sent by email. If I replace &> with >> the output is appended correctly to the logfile. However, I need to be able to use &> because my job executes several other scripts that use &> to write to [13:03] logfile. It is kinda hard to track down all the &> and replace them with >>. So, why would &> create an empty file and send the output be email instead of writing it to the specified logfile? === karthee_ is now known as karthee [13:04] actually i never did .. the way i understood the directions was to create a .conkyrc file in home ... that's where everything went south [13:04] problem solved.. indicator-sound was missing [13:04] the conky file in /etc is untouched [13:04] snipe: thats correct, so if you remove your .conkyrc file, it will go back to default [13:06] i'll try again but i get a error .. missing text blosk in config .. program calling Imlib ... value null .... will get it word for word in a sec [13:06] !pastebin > snipe [13:06] snipe, please see my private message [13:07] will paste in a sec .. restarting to get the error [13:07] I was trying to install this package using sudo apt-get install php5-curl ... It's stuck on unpacking forever. Any ideas on how to debug it? [13:07] my front audio jack was working before I remove pulseaudio now i have pulseaudio installed but still doesnt work. is there anyway to restore audio drivers and configuration files? [13:08] or should i reinstall alsa [13:08] Asad: does it hang each time you try ? [13:09] i just re installed again and i'm back to default [13:09] Yes, ikonia .. I have to kill the process since it never completes (for 20 mins+) ... and then i have to delete lock files too [13:09] snipe: there we go, problem solved [13:10] Asad: it maybe worth removing the cache file for it, /var/apt/cache (I think - I don't have an ubuntu box here to test) [13:10] lol .. i don't know how we fixed it but it worked [13:10] Asad: also makes sure you do a sudo apt-get update first [13:10] hi there [13:10] snipe: my magic control [13:10] hi everybody [13:10] how can i choose my default desktop without using gdm ? [13:11] lol .. when you're not busy i'll take some more direction on changing it ... try to avoid the mess again [13:11] i would like to setup another desktop as default for when i use startx command [13:11] freeaks: default desktop or login manager? [13:12] a2z, i don't use gdm at all, i don't want. i use startx command instead [13:12] i start from root term [13:12] i can use gedit to make or copy the rc files correct? [13:12] a2z, so, default desktop [13:12] freeaks: what other desktops do u have installed? [13:13] kde and netbook remix and lxde [13:13] a2z, kde and netbook remix and lxde (at the moment default is gnome) [13:13] freeaks: which one do u want between the three?

Done" ikonia . and anyone else who can help :) [13:16] ييي [13:16] hello all [13:16] hi [13:17] freeaks: could be /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc? [13:17] underline is still blinking, but nothing happens after few minutes [13:17] Tom___, i don't think so [13:17] ipodtun, do you know thing about ipod touch in ubuntu? [13:17] Anyone here good with acpi? My laptop hangs when i switch it on...very frequently [13:17] can you force compiz efects to ignore a certain program [13:17] css how are you man ? [13:18] freeaks: my bad, should read the thread further.. [13:18] Tom___, np, thanks for trying to help btw [13:19] I'm looking for some software that can do nice plots, at the moment I'm using GNU plot, but I don't really like it. [13:19] hi guys.. what is 1 in this line [13:19] tcp6 0 0 ::1:3001 :::* LISTEN 27381/ssh [13:19] ::1 I mean [13:19] no luck ikonia ... after removing the package, running update and trying it again ... how can i manually install it? Like rpm -ihv in CentOS ... [13:20] I fixed libvirt -related problem, actually it init didn't read changes in configuration when respawning. I made script that launches actual program with correct arguments. [13:20] Asad: did you remove the cache file / [13:20] ? [13:20] Yes, I did remove the package from cache ikonia .. it downloaded the same one again [13:20] Asad: you can manually install it with dpkg -i but that won't pull in the dependencies [13:21] all the dependencies are already installed, ikonia .. ok thanks.. let me try that [13:21] I'm getting ready to go on a buy, sell or trade radio program, and I need a thirty second sound bite to sell one of my boxes, I'm going to mention how versatile it is, and it has free tech. support, any other ideas? [13:22] n2diy: not really something we can help with, it's up to you how you market your machine [13:23] freeaks: are you trying to swith between them from the command promt? says [http://www.xfree86.org/current/startx.1.html] here that the global config files are here /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit? [13:23] ikonia: ok, but I'm not off topic? [13:23] n2diy: you are really [13:23] ikonia: ok, [13:24] anyone out there who knows the name of the kernel module that must be loaded in order for the cpufreq utilities to work, please? [13:28] after update today i cant load ubuntu or ubuntu rescue. grub is installed after starting ubuntu rescue from grub, system stops to load after :" Begin: Running /scripts/init-botom... Done" how can i locate problem so that i can try to google it [13:28] because i dont have a clue now [13:29] Hey, As soon as Xorg starts my system crashes [13:29] I have tried removing the xorg.conf, generating a new one [13:30] manually setting it to use VESA results in a display not being found [13:30] liberan, it is trying to mount wrong partition as root. Check where your real root is and compare it kernel param and make changes. [13:30] All I get is a black screen (Backlight on) and a system that doesn't respond (ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+del, etc) [13:31] liberan, perhaps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1271827 , i searched: /scripts/init-botom hang [13:32] Why would &> cron job output redirection create an empty file and send the output be email instead of writing it to the specified logfile? [13:33] why am i not seeing any partitions in ubuntu installer_ [13:33] gparted shows it all corectly [13:33] 10.10 [13:33] alin_panda: the email is not the output,its a regular thin [13:33] thing* [13:34] I guess no one knows... [13:34] Xeross, yep.. [13:34] hyperstream: It's annoying, AMD released fixed drivers and I can't even install them [13:34] hyperstream: Hmm any chance you can hook me up with a guide on how to use iwconfig to connect to a wireless network ? [13:34] Xeross, i would personally backup any data and reinstall the system :/ [13:35] alin_panda: did you remember to give the output a name? [13:35] hyperstream; All it needs are updated drivers... [13:35] Xeross, only guides i would refer you to are googled ones hehe [13:35] Xeross: man iwconfig has examples [13:35] Still weird that it doesnt fall back to VESA [13:36] she_dyed: the cron job looks like this * * * * * /home/oracle/test.sh &> /home/oracle/test.log [13:36] alin_panda: and no test.log [13:36] alin_panda: that's a very regular job, every minute of every day [13:37] muppis: my root is on sda5, how can i check kernel param? hyperstream , i will try later what that topic says, although it is not for maveric [13:37] Hello happy people. [13:37] she_dyed: i know it's executing every minute. what do you mean by "and no test.log" [13:38] alin_panda: i'm asking if a log was created [13:38] liberan, hold shift -key pressed when it start loading grub, so you can access grub menu. [13:38] she_dyed: yes, the file test.log is created but it is empty [13:38] I'm trying to make actual use of systemtap, so I added the ddebs repositories to my sources.list, running aptitude update fails fantastically: http://pastebin.com/raM7SfNy [13:39] alin_panda: run it regular, in a terminal, no cron. delete the log first [13:39] Why wont iwconfig set the essid :/ [13:40] alin_panda: if the same thing happens, then, situation normal [13:40] how do you change the font size of pidgin [13:40] Hi! [13:40] it doesnt abide by my themes font size settings [13:40] nor have its own option [13:40] I need help with bopm on my vps [13:40] I'll just hook it up to a crosswire cable [13:40] It dosent dectect openproxys [13:41] Xeross: how did you enter the iwconfig command? [13:41] she_dyed: i just did. the file test.log was created and it contains the correct output [13:42] alin_panda: oh try the cron without '&' [13:43] obsidieth: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#HowdoIchangethefontPidginusesThebackgroundcolor [13:44] she_dyed: if i run the cron without &, the file test.log is created and contains the correct output. but i need it to run with & too [13:44] the document font doesnt alter it [13:44] unless i must restart pidgin? [13:45] Xeross... no people know.. just not glued to the screen 24/7 [13:46] what is the best sftp server for ubuntu? [13:46] alin_panda: you might have to make a script to run your script because you need 2 outputs [13:46] !polls [13:46] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:46] it would be nice to have something with a GUI.. but thats really not neccessary [13:47] !best > Kingsy [13:47] Kingsy, please see my private message [13:47] Kingsy, i doubt you will find a "SSH SERVER" with a gui for linux. but hey surprise me! [13:48] i suppose a GUI isnt neccessary.. I could just use an app via the shell [13:48] xterm -e vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config & , right? [13:48] does ubuntu have something built in for this? [13:48] Kingsy, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [13:48] np [13:49] does it have a manual? :) [13:49] man sshd_config [13:49] Kingsy, man sshd [13:49] or whatever [13:49] np thanks [13:50] Kingsy, when you refer to a GUI, don't forget that nautilus (the default gnome file manager) can connect to ssh servers. [13:50] hey thats gui enough [13:50] she_dyed, it's not a server gui . [13:50] oh misread the question, my bad [13:51] wont it prompt anyway [13:51] airtonix - naw its not connecting to a server.. I have a shell or filezilla for that.. but I have setup port forwarding on my router so I wanted to setup a server [13:51] she_dyed: actually, what i need to do is test.sh to get a webpage using "curl http://webpage &> /home/oracle/webpage.html", my problem is that the webpage is also sent by email and not written to the html file [13:52] Kingsy, it definitely does connect to ssh servers... i do it all the time. [13:52] hyperstream: Glad I didn't listen to you [13:52] airtonix - but I want to set up an SFTP Server.. not connect to one [13:52] hyperstream: New drivers installed, and it works again [13:52] Kingsy, and? use the command i gave you. [13:53] yea .. heh I was just talkin :) [13:53] hyperstream: Yet normally you are indeed pretty much out of luck if Xorg decidedes to throw a hissy fit [13:53] Xeross, if you are trying to set an ESSID using iwconfig on a desktop...just remember that Network Manager will interfer if you have a wifi profile enabled for auto connect [13:53] alin_panda: ouch, maybe their tech support/services has something that they do besides email [13:53] Xeross, (Network Manager will do its dance regardless of the state of X ) [13:54] airtonix: I was asking because X was messed up and I needed new drivers, but I just decided to use a crosswire cable instead of spending ages trying to get wirelss to work on the CLI [13:54] airtonix: Even when I'm in a fallback root shell ? [13:54] she_dyed: what "tech support/services" are you reffering to? [13:54] Xeross, it will if sudo service status | grep network-manager shows a x [13:54] alin_panda: the ones that email the form? [13:54] what is the difference between /etc/init/ and /etc/init.d/ ? both exist right? [13:55] airtonix: Ah well it's irrelevant now [13:55] Hi all [13:56] hello [13:56] Kingsy, as far as i know, ubuntu is moving away from simply using the scripts in /etc/init.d/ [13:56] Kingsy: the former governs the "upstart" startup schema, whilst the latter comes from the historical sysvinit. [13:56] she_dyed: what i meant is that cron is sending the webpage by email (like it does by default) instead of writing it to the file (like i specified by &>) [13:57] * cousin_mario installed ubuntu netbook edition, but after the first boot an error message appeared and now it's switched again to the default gnome desktop. How do I re-enable Unity? [13:57] sipior - hmm is there a website someone that tells you about the linux file system? I find it very confusing [13:57] hello [13:57] somewhere* [13:57] We have two offices. The first one has a server with shared network drives. The second one connects to these folders through VPN. The problem, due the connexion some times is very slow to fetch the files. We decided to add a second Linux server in the second office, wehre somehow we keep a synced copy of the content of the first office, so when any file changes, it is synced. Any good software for this for Linux/Ubuntu Server? [13:57] thanks [13:57] have goot somebody problem with lagging when watching video in fullscreen? [13:57] cousin_mario: should be an option in GDM after you put in your user name [13:58] i mean flash video.. youtube? [13:58] hello, I need some help with OOo Writer.. Is it possible to change the contents of the header on a specific page? If so how? [13:58] Xeross, btw it's actually : sudo service status | grep network-manager ... and you can configure network-manager with the confs in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ [13:58] Kingsy: there's certainly a fair bit of historical baggage. might be a good place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [13:58] btw 10.10 is really cool with all the new nice font rendering :) [13:58] Xeross, gah... i mean sudo service network-manager status [13:59] airtonix: Doesn't matter as gnome is already running again including compiz [13:59] alin_panda: the & is throwing it to batch mode, remember, and the email could be a result of that (has to let youknow the result) http://webpage &> /home/oracle/webpage.html [13:59] Xeross, ;) if you say so... but i garuntee you it will matter later [13:59] have goot somebody problem with lagging when watching video in fullscreen? [13:59] sipior - thanks [14:00] hi. Does anyone know where the default menu settings are stored? By default when a new user is created the menu does not contain the 'Development' sub menu. I would like to enable that menu by default for new users. I've looked at the in /etc/xdg and /usr/share/{applications,desktop-entries} but I can't seem to find it. [14:00] airtonix: Define later ? [14:00] i enabled port forwarding on my router for transmission on port it's using however it says ports is closed [14:01] dafox: what's the point? won't it be empty? isn't it just a matter of installing some app that belongs there?? [14:01] no, I'm there will be an application installed by default [14:01] then why would the menu still be empty? have you tested it? [14:02] 'man tracker-miner-fs': "tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and files only." What does it mean »to mine information«? [14:02] juk, make sure ufw is running and you have a port open for it with ufw : sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw allow in on eth0 to any port XXX (were XXX is the port number you opened) [14:02] airtonix: Perhaps now already, the network applet icon thing isn't appearing in GNome [14:03] Xeross, killall nm-applet && killall gnome-panel && nm-applet & [14:03] We have two offices. The first one has a server with shared network drives. The second one connects to these folders through VPN. The problem, due the connexion some times is very slow to fetch the files. We decided to add a second Linux server in the second office, wehre somehow we keep a synced copy of the content of the first office, so when any file changes, it is synced. Any good software for this for Linux/Ubuntu Server? [14:03] thanks [14:04] MariJones, there is a few [14:04] airtonix: Nothing, perhaps I am missing something on my panel ? [14:04] do both ends write to these files? [14:04] airtonix, like? [14:04] Xeross, do you have the notification-panel applet ? [14:04] rsync is the command to synchronize files [14:04] to which folder do i unzip Gnome icon theme? [14:04] systems exist that build upon it [14:04] kubanc, ~/.icons [14:05] rp2, yes [14:05] LjL: man, you're everywhere:) [14:05] (but i haven't used any of them) [14:05] rp2, but I mean something visual, where to create rules, etc.. [14:05] i understand ... [14:05] MariJones, maybe Unison might appeal to you [14:05] airtonix, Unison? [14:05] airtonix, let me check [14:06] airtonix, thnx [14:06] !info unison [14:06] unison (source: unison): A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.32.52-1ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 574 kB, installed size 1376 kB [14:06] please please tell me how to disable multi-touch gestures on ubuntu maverick.. it's causing my pc to crash! I only want single touch. [14:06] airtonix: i did what you told me, didn't work [14:06] mmm [14:06] does it have a UI? [14:06] juk, did you restart transmission ? [14:06] LjL: unfortunately, it didn't work [14:06] i think it's important to know whether both ends can write files and how fast changes are supposed to be reflected [14:06] airtonix: Looks like it [14:06] LjL: the same requester came up, showing the message copied here: http://pastebin.com/irUGW66Y [14:07] airtonix: have it but is empty [14:07] rp2, as I said above, both sides can write, and at any time [14:07] Xeross, check that you do not have copies of nm-applet running that were started by root. [14:07] cousin_mario: oh. Unity requires OpenGL support with a couple of modern driver features. i imagine that message means you either have an old card, or don't have the proprietary driver for it enabled. [14:07] she_dyed: i thought the & was used to redirect both the stderr and stdout to the file [14:07] airtonix: This was a clean boot and according to ps I do not [14:08] airtonix: taking too long, testing [14:08] Xeross, are there any files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ ? [14:08] marijones: ok sorry [14:08] alin_panda: AND throws to batch [14:09] Unison is not what I am looking for [14:09] why not? [14:09] airtonix: Nope [14:09] LjL: I'm trying it under virtualbox. I suppose the 3D support is not enough for it. [14:09] MariJones, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unison-file-synchronization-tool.html [14:09] cousin_mario: err, no, definitely not :P forget about it [14:09] alin_panda: run ir oncli, your term is freed up to do next command g right? [14:09] because my network is administrated by people that are not expert in Linux, and they are used to Windows Server tools (graphical interfaces, etc..) [14:09] cousin_mario: not even the GeForce FX5200 i have on my computer is enough [14:09] alin_panda: run it* on cli [14:10] rp2: I'm sorry, my wireless just dropped. What was my last message? [14:10] LjL: so, what is it like anyway? [14:10] MariJones, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conduit-synchronize-your-data-in-easy-way.html [14:10] cousin_mario: slow [14:10] LjL: I just read it will be the default since nutty narwhal and wanted to see it myself [14:10] LjL: does it have any merits? [14:10] hi Guys [14:11] she_dyed: i don't quite understand what you want me to do.. [14:11] cousin_mario, first its Natty :) [14:11] om26er: oook:) [14:11] MariJones: depending on the amount of data you want to keep synchronised, dropbox might be of use to you. [14:11] dafox: (3:01:37 PM) dafox: no, I'm there will be an application installed by default [14:11] alin_panda: test it on cli === marcel01_ is now known as marcel01 [14:11] hacking [14:12] sipior, we thought about DorpBox, but we have up to 1T [14:12] cousin_mario: well, i'd say it has the merit of dealing with maximized, borderless windows a bit better than the old Netbook Remix used to (with horrible hacks like Maximus). i hear the file searching is also somewhat refined, but i haven't really tried it. personally i don't really look forward to it being default on desktops. also, i'm told some things in it will change for desktop Natty [14:12] i Have problem with my size of disk === wam_ is now known as Guest41570 [14:12] MariJones, i think there is something similar to dropbox where you can host the server privately [14:12] MariJones: sparkelshare is another (self-hosted) possibility, but it's still in beta at the moment... [14:12] LjL: I've never used anything else, but I guess I'll try a livecd [14:12] rp2: if I enable the menu for one user (right-click, edit, enable development) than the menu appears and has one entry in it [14:12] MariJones: sparkleshare, rather. [14:12] rp2: just the whole 'development' submenu is hidden by default. I want to reverse that default so that it shows up in new accounts [14:13] MariJones, http://sparkleshare.org/ === Alexander1 is now known as Alexander [14:14] airtonix: should nmap show it as opened port? [14:14] she_dyed: if you mean that i should try to run the script on the command line, i already did, and it works as expected. the problem is happening only when running in cron [14:14] IT'S NOT ON YET [14:14] it's not working yet [14:14] airtonix: So that would be bad right ? [14:14] juk, it should. yes. [14:14] NO ON [14:14] try it without the & too, alin_panda [14:14] Hi People, i try to install Ubuntu Netbook and the screen lock in this message: Syslinux 4.02 2010-07-21 EDD Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anwin et Al [14:14] OK? [14:14] FUCK YOU [14:15] MariJones: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:15] that was bizarre. [14:15] airtonix: only 22 631 listed [14:15] there are solution for this ? [14:15] juk, you are using eth0 as the interface to access network yeah ? [14:16] airtonix: yes === ITXpander is now known as MagicalITXpander [14:16] transmission says it's closed as well as nmap [14:16] anyone got a good resource about getting/installing a ssl certificate? [14:16] thanks to those who helped with my conky issues .. it's up and running now [14:16] juk, and you used nmap to test this from another computer right ? [14:17] read that a ip based ssl certificate isn't neccasery anymore, but that's what most of the docs say [14:17] airtonix: no, nmap localhost [14:17] i want admin help me plzz [14:17] she_dyed: like i said earlier, without & it is working. but i need it to work with & [14:18] juk, what does ' sudo ufw status ' say ? [14:18] the reason I mentioned a GUI for an SFTP server in linux.. is.. what would happen if you wanted to monitor your FTP? for example how do you know if someone is on your FTP? would you have to constantly run shell commands to check? [14:18] alin_panda: and like i said you need 2 outputs so maybe 2 scripts instead of 1 will do the job [14:18] what happened to MariJones? prior to the ban i mean [14:18] with a GUI for example the icon would change next to the system clock.. so you could see if someone was on your server or not [14:18] airtonix: Status: inactive [14:18] Kingsy, ssh authentication is logged in /var/log/auth [14:18] how will ati moblity radeon x1400 work on ubuntu 10.10? does anybody have any problems with it? [14:19] airtonix: Disregard that, my group memberships decided to reset [14:19] rp2: I think I have it. If I add "NoDisplay=false" to the desktop entry it works [14:19] rp2 thanks [14:19] juk, juk, did you run the ufw command i gave you earlier ? : sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw allow in on eth0 to any port XXX (were XXX is the port number you opened) [14:19] dafox: sorry i couldn't really help ... [14:19] hello [14:19] interesting double negative there [14:19] airtonix - well yea but thats a log.. does that mean in order to keep an eye on who is on your server you have to keep refreshing that log file? cos thats not very helpful [14:19] Kingsy, you can use the log-viewer in the System - Administration menu to monitor that log file [14:19] alin_panda: like the second one gets the &> output, first one gets webpage [14:20] hi, I am trying to encode a video with ffmpeg using the mp3 audio encoder but it says "unknown encoder 'mp3'". I have tried 'lame' and 'libmp3lame' but they return the same thing. lame is installed. [14:20] airtonix: yes, sure [14:20] hmm id idnt know about a log-viewer.. let me check that out [14:20] airtonix: Well that didn't work [14:20] Kingsy, also when someone has authenticated and logged in via ssh they will show up as a logged in user via the command "who" [14:21] can anyone know, when mobile boardband already appear but can not enable or connects [14:21] can anyone know, when mobile boardband already appear but can not enable or connects === dewey__ is now known as dewey_ [14:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/520759/ [14:21] gwibber just notified me of a twitter response from a year ago.... wtf [14:21] this me problem [14:21] airtonix: xxx is assigned to forward to me in router and transmission using it also [14:21] Kingsy, to rule out gconf problems, create a new user and login with that one to see if the nm-applet shows up [14:22] how can extend my disk or partitions [14:22] airtonix - what I mean is its not very helpful if the information is available but you have to find it.. say for example.. you wanted to know when someone was on your server.. and you check you log every 30 mins.. when you check the user will have logged in and out by then [14:22] she_dyed: i'm not sure i can do what you're suggesting because of the structure and content of the scripts i need to run in cron. i just needed to understand why the & is throwing the output to email. thanks for your assistance [14:22] Kingsy, sure, but logviewer updates when the file changes... [14:23] airtonix: i don't think i gain much speed by letting incomming connections in and also compromising ubuntu [14:23] so the information you are seeing isnt current.. as you don't notice the user on the server until they are gone.. [14:23] nerdy_kid: man mplayer to see how to enter lame and lame options [14:23] juk, ... [14:23] see my problem plzzzzzzzzz http://paste.ubuntu.com/520759/ [14:23] airtonix - yea but that means you need to have a log file open all the time.. :S [14:23] wahby: What do you not understand in that message ? [14:23] juk, allowing incoming connections with torrents means others can upload from you. [14:23] you're welcome alin_panda i feel you are close, though to the solution [14:23] sorry [14:23] wahby: you do have another disk [14:23] is there not a nice icon that sites in the system panel? that would be best :) [14:24] Kingsy, how else are you going to know when a user is logged in ? [14:24] airtonix: Adding myself to netdev group and rebooting did the trick [14:24] lol exactly [14:24] wahby: or unpartitioned space in your actual disk? [14:24] yes but how to me extened it [14:24] airtonix: if my upload speed is limited it doesn't make sence [14:24] Kingsy, you have to do the same thing on windows too. [14:24] wahby: Try to use gparted [14:24] alin_panda: btw what does the email say, cron succeeded or finished === MagicalITXpander is now known as ITXpander [14:24] wahby:Or the gparted live cd [14:25] wahby: Too easy to do with === Termana_ is now known as Termana [14:25] wahby: Give it a try [14:25] airtonix - you don't, you use a SFTP server app that has an icon that runs in the tray [14:25] i can't because i have partition in meddle [14:25] when a user logs in the icon turns blue.. [14:25] wahby: Ah [14:25] i try befor [14:25] So... [14:25] so because the icon is always visible you can instantly see when someone logs in or out [14:25] Kingsy, which you have to either keep open or click open every so often to see who is logged on. [14:26] wahby: Why don't you format the unused space and mount it to use it in Ubuntu? [14:26] airtonix - no its a system service that sits in the tray and changes colours depending on if a user is logged in out or transferring [14:26] KingK, its just a notification tray icon that responds to logfiles. [14:27] yup [14:27] Kingsy, you could use conky, and use commands like : watch -n1 -d "who --lookup" [14:27] which is what I am looking for :) [14:27] cool let me look that up [14:27] she_dyed: it doesn't say anything about the cron, it just displays what i expected to find in the files [14:28] i hate formate [14:28] airtonix - that is EXACTLY what I want [14:28] because i have 300 GB space [14:28] thanks [14:28] Kingsy, the watch command is nice [14:29] Kingsy, http://librenix.com/?page=Monitoring [14:29] she_dyed I need to use ffmpeg and cant find any info about lame in there. basically i just need the name of the mp3 audio encoder. dont know why 'lame' wont work though. [14:29] i want Attach with low space [14:30] k5673 : are you here [14:31] !pm [14:31] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

I am trying to copy a song to my ipod, using rhythm box, but I am getting permission denied [14:31] wahby: i'm here [14:32] how can i solve that problem === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [14:33] wahby: OK. Two alternatives. Format the unused space and mount it, OR Backup all your data and format it right to have contiguous space. [14:33] lastlog amarcolino [14:34] wahby: Or get a new disk [14:34] ok [14:34] how i extend my partition [14:35] anyone have any idea why my laptop would suddenly switch off at 23h00 each day once logged into ubuntu. i installed it with wubi in windows. no problems in windows [14:35] wahby: You said there's a partition between the problematic one and the unallocated space. Right? [14:35] wahby, sorry for interrupting but what you're suggesting 'extending' is only possible with LVM, which I doubt you're using [14:36] my computer screen is splitted up into 8 parts [14:36] wahby: So, you can't move a partition, only resize it [14:37] i hve a very big problem [14:37] plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz helpppppp === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [14:37] wahby: Your alternatives are few. Just allocate the unused one and use it. [14:37] coolsan: ask [14:38] k5673: my computer screen is splitted up into 8 parts [14:38] coolsan: what do you mean with split? [14:38] means my display looks like tiles [14:38] means my display looks like tiled [14:39] k5673: ok i telling u in detail [14:39] ok how me resize the partitions [14:39] airtonix: so how undo your command [14:39] k5673: i working on pc and suddenly it stopped working n shutdown [14:39] juk, sudo ufw reset [14:39] coolsan: Can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:40] k5673: when i start again i see1 se [14:40] juk, honestly, if you're concerned about "comprimises" don't connect to the internet. not to mention port forward ports to your computer. [14:40] So I just upgraded to 10.10, and it went pretty smoothly. But... I have a piece of hardware who's drivers have a problem with kernel 2.6.35 ... so... can I safely revert to kernel 2.6.32 in 10.10 without major breakage? [14:41] wahby:http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/21/partitioning-or-resizing-drives-in-ubuntu-using-gparted/ [14:41] than you [14:41] wahby: OK [14:41] ok [14:41] k5673: are you like the official "helper" here :P [14:42] anyone know why '-acodec mp3' returns 'codec unknown' in ffmpeg? [14:42] k5673: No. But i learn a lot helping! [14:42] haha... i see [14:42] unobstruse: No, but i learn a lot helping! [14:42] Talking to myself again. [14:42] Sorry [14:42] k5673: no prob === Alexander1 is now known as Alexander [14:43] so... anyone have any idea why my laptop would suddenly switch off at 23h00 each day once logged into ubuntu. i installed it with wubi in windows. no problems in windows [14:43] airtonix: yeah you right, but that's like increasing chances to be exposed [14:43] k5673 I do it all the time :P [14:44] nerdy_kid: yeah! [14:44] It helps you a lot, when solving issues in a 200-hosts ubuntu network. [14:45] hi. I can't upgrade from lucid from maverick. When I try, the updater wants to install a blacklisted package and aborts. It wasn't previously installed, I tried installing the lucid version and still get the error. I don't think I have the reverse dependencies installed [14:45] k5673: i restart i see rainbow like colors on my screen it has 8 parts [14:45] nerdy_kid: try it without -acodec mp3, then after that doesnt work try -f mp3 [14:46] coolsan: Yo can do the following. Rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart. X11 will use the defaults. [14:46] k5673: my desktop looking 8 same type window [14:46] k5673: rename what???? [14:47] coolsan: that's the main X11 configuration file. It seems an issue with X11 [14:47] Not critical, just curious: Hi. I'm trying to install my Aiptek Hyperpen 12000u using the aiptek drivers from the repositories, and following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet . I have checked and double-checked the conf files. I have the same problem as some other people on the forums, viz. after a boot or reinsertion of the usb tablet, hovering with the stylus works, but after using the nib once [14:47] , it loses that capability. There is also no pressure levels, and naturally the other buttons don't work. I checked Xorg.0.log, and after the evdev stuff refering to Aiptek, there's two lines of udev, one which is "(II) config/udev: Adding input device Aiptek (/dev/input/mouse1)" and the one following "(II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)". As I said, not critical (I'll just boot into XP), but it would be nice to [14:47] get this to work. Thank you in advance. [14:47] Naeddyr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:48] she_dyed I did ffmpeg -i FILE -f mp3 FILE and it said 'codec id 86017 not found for output stream'. im a noob at video encoding sorry [14:48] k5673: can i rename it as before it is means xorg.conf [14:48] coolsan: as root, do mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BAK and restart [14:48] oops, that line went a little overboard. [14:48] dont apologize nerdy_kid. been there [14:49] still there i think =) nerdy_kid [14:49] ok [14:50] nerdy_kid, you tried installing ubuntu-restricted-extras for the mp3 codec? [14:50] nerdy_kid: see if it includes mp3 on the list: ffmpeg -formats [14:52] k5673: can't move [14:52] she_dyed I have kubuntu-restricted-extras installed, and mp3 is on the list of supported formats from -formats. that is why i am rather confused [14:52] i'm trying to share my music folder over a windows network using samba... i can access the folder from windows however i cannot access any subfolders within the shared music folder... access denied === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [14:54] k5673: when i m starting it distroying main screen [14:54] k5673: distroying screen before boot menu [14:54] damm nerdy_kid you got all that you need... [14:54] juk, shrug, as long as you are not forwarding ports and you're not using wifi whats to worry about ? [14:55] anyone alive? [14:55] she_dyed strange..... [14:55] i was about to ask the same [14:56] airtonix: well, nothing really [14:56] no chat in any channels. scary times. :P [14:56] it's the zombie apocalypse [14:56] try mencoder too nerdy_kid if you want to see if it even tries, not the whole thing [14:57] nerdy_kid: are you able to play mp3's [14:57] and watch videos as well [14:57] Is linux 2.6.32 available for Jaunty? [14:58] she_dyed yes to both, all my codec seem to be installed, I can encode mp3 also (have done it) but not sure if the encoder was ffmpeg or not. im gonna give mencoder a shot one sec [14:58] dlyneswork: jaunty is EOL and not supported now dude [14:58] ActionParsnip, that doesn't mean that 2.6.32 wouldn't be available [14:58] remember nerdy_kid that came with mplayer so the man page is the same [14:59] ? [14:59] dlyneswork: it will be hard to find debs for it as its not supported, you could compile the source or find somewhere with debs for the kernel [14:59] ? [14:59] dlyneswork: due to it being EOL you will have a hard time finding stuff [15:00] ActionParsnip, theoretically 2.6.32 from 10.04 should work though, shouldn't it? seeing as how it shouldn't be dependent on libc? [15:00] she_dyed mencoder wouldn't do it either, but it is encoding with mp2 fine right now [15:00] dlyneswork: if you want to try it you can but the Lucid kernel is compiled for Lucid [15:01] ActionParsnip, well, is there a switch for dpkg that will tell me about any dependencies? [15:01] she_dyed ffmpeg encodes with mp2 as well [15:01] ActionParsnip, 9.1 and higher have other issues that currently prevent us from using them [15:01] dlyneswork: if you dont have the deps, the package will not install and the output wil tell you what is needed [15:02] ActionParsnip, and we don't have the time to fix those issues until another month down the road, or so [15:02] dlyneswork: theres this I just found: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [15:02] she_dyed ffmpeg can supposibly encode mp2, and decode and encode mp3 according to -formats [15:02] nerdy_kid: hmm ever reinstall stuff? [15:02] ActionParsnip, linux-image still includes the modules? [15:02] dlyneswork: should do yes [15:03] k5673: i didn't find any xorg.conf [15:03] ActionParsnip, thanks [15:03] she_dyed such as? [15:03] ActionParsnip, much appreciated [15:03] dlyneswork: what you are doing is not hugely advised and not supported so you are flying by the seat of you pants dude :) [15:03] nerdy_kid: i was thinking uninstall the restricted then put it back in [15:03] ActionParsnip: my screen tiled into 8 parts [15:03] coolsan: what version of ubuntu are you using? [15:04] nerdy_kid: you ARE in kubuntu right? [15:04] ActionParsnip: blurred [15:04] k5673: 10.04 [15:04] she_dyed yeah, ill give it a shot, but dont think it will do anything [15:05] nerdy_kid: did you try also in #kubuntu or am i looking at a mirrored channel =) [15:05] Hello. I've been having an issue with my laptop ever since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04. Whenever I boot the latest kernel (the one that came with 10.10) I don't see anything on the screen. The system appears to be booting normally (judging by hard disk activity), it's just that I never get anything on the screen. The only way to boot my system (and have a display) is to use an old kernel left over from 10.04. My system [15:05] is a laptop (HP Elitebook 2730p) running intel graphics. [15:05] I'm having trouble installing globalmenu on ubuntu 10.10.

[15:11] Rigorm0rtis: it works with other chips too. [15:12] Rigorm0rtis: if you boot to root recovery mode, then run: su foo replace foo with your username, then run: startx do you get a desktop?

[15:16] chuckh1958: i suggest pidgin :) [15:16] and I'm looking at it [15:17] adabo: easy stuff [15:17] k5673: ?? [15:17] rp2: nothing.

[15:17] ActionParsnip, I should add that I've tried the latest mainline kernel builds, and the current mainline (2.6.35.4, that matches the current Ubuntu kernel) also does not work, but the next kernel (2.6.35.7) does work. [15:17] rp2: so far not liking it too much for IRC [15:18] it blurred and tiled in 8 screen just after starting before boot menu [15:18] Rigorm0rtis: use the 35.7 kernel then :) [15:18] k5673: it blurred and tiled in 8 screen just after starting before boot menu [15:18] ActionParsnip, but then my VGA out does not work. [15:19] coolsan: Mmmmmm [15:19] hi [15:19] coolsan: but it could be just showing the exact same words from the ram of the video card [15:19] coolsan: put an default xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [15:20] what's better for IRC with empathy? i use pidgin mostly for IRC [15:20] k5673: she_dyed where is default xorg.conf [15:21] Rigorm0rtis: then get an xorg.conf file rocking and it will :) [15:21] /etc/X11 coolsan like k5673 said [15:21] rp2: all clients are equal [15:21] she_dyed: where is default xorg.conf [15:21] rp2: So far I see nothing better with empathy for IRC [15:21] rp2: they just have different strengths, try a few, see which you prefer [15:22] a [15:22] i am in etc/x11 [15:22] hey whats the command to install a pack? [15:22] coolsan: i will give an default xorg.conf [15:22] sudo atp-install? [15:22] rp2: Unless there are features I'm not seeing. or maybe another package like the pidgin plugins, it's proabably more rudimentary than chatzilla [15:22] has anyone ever had the problem with rdesktop when you connect and the mouse doesnt move around? but when you click the mouse moves to where you have clicked.. but you cant see it moving dynamically? [15:22] ok [15:23] i don't want to try unless i have a concrete reason to. there's literally thousands of things out there i might try [15:23] Dropping off and installing pidgin.

[15:24] rp2: click the link ubottu gave, it lists some IRC clients there [15:25] ActionParsnip, what would my xorg.conf have to do with anything when if I change kernels it works fine? Like I said, when I use the old kernel from 10.04 everything works just fine. [15:25] coolsan: http://pastebin.com/EaAaqiEA [15:25] rp2 - damn [15:25] gypsymauro: you need 3D accelleration afaik [15:25] kopete is stil working? [15:25] coolsan: paste that in a file named xorg.conf and place it in /etc/X11 [15:25] Rigorm0rtis: if your video card doesn't work, it may be udev failing to detect the settings. So you can use an xorg.conf file to TELL the system what to use and it should work [15:25] k5673: ok [15:26] hey, the sensor command prints lots of ALARMs, is this normal? pastebin of results: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/282230/ [15:26] ActionParsnip, How can I do that? === Enissay[Away] is now known as Enissay [15:26] ok that link does give somewhat of an impression of the different clients which is helpful [15:26] show [15:26] ActionParsnip: damn [15:27] Rigorm0rtis: you cn run: sudo Xorg -configure then run: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf then read online to find sample files / code === root is now known as Guest19049 [15:27] ubuntu maverick is having trouble connecting to a mschapv2 network that is a bit crowded with students, like in the library for example. anyone else with similar issues? winblows seven connects fine.

[15:30] i cannot access windows machines over the network.. i can browse to them.. i get Failed to retrieve share list from server [15:31] ActionParsnip, When I try Xorg -configure, I get "Server is already active for display 0". The system is running right now with the display not working and I'm accessing it via ssh. [15:31] so many people [15:31] Rigorm0rtis: i believe it makes the file in $HOME [15:31] ActionParsnip: Does mc work in root only? Or can I use it in my account? I get a permission denied (13) when copyin [15:32] Rigorm0rtis: either way, you need the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be setup nice [15:32] adabo: it will run as your user. If you need access to root only writable areas then it will need running with sudo [15:32] in what package are the mkbootmsg command? [15:33] fgh: try: dpkg -S mkbootmsg [15:33] ActionParsnip: Any links to help me figure out what you said? Aside from a linux for newbs.. >_> lol [15:34] actionparsnip: fgh@fgh:~$ sudo dpkg -S mkbootmsg [15:34] dpkg: *mkbootmsg* not found. === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [15:34] adabo: if it needs root access, lauch the app prefixed with sudo [15:34] aha [15:34] asks for password :) [15:34] thanks ActionParsnip [15:35] hoe do i unzip using terminal? when i try "unzip filename" it says inflating files but dowsnt seem to extract them [15:35] where is everyone?????????? [15:35] yes [15:35] how* [15:35] here === nick is now known as Guest55485 [15:35] ok [15:35] Sean93: unzip file.zip === Guest55485 is now known as GREECE-SERVER [15:36] HELLO [15:36] ActionParsnip: what does inflating mean? is that it extracting the files? [15:36] Sean93: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/a/blcmdl1_unzipx.htm [15:37] Sean93: yes its getting the files out. Are the files large/ [15:37] yes [15:38] ok i think it works, guess i should be more patient lol [15:38] Sean93: then thats why. It takes time to inflate large files. You can't expect (for example) a 4Gb file to instantly leap out of a zip file [15:38] strange question, but, how would I change the timestamp of all files within a directory?? like chown -R changes ownership...?? [15:38] Sean93: the operation will take time based on CPU speed / cache, RAM amount / speed and HDD speed / cache [15:39] hello, console-kit-daemon on my 9.10 server is using 170MB, is that normal ? [15:40] Bauldrick: use touch [15:40] Bauldrick: http://linux.die.net/man/1/touch [15:41] thank-you k5673 [15:41] Bauldrick: OK [15:42] when I do "diff --text before.reg after.reg" it floods the screen ofcourse with alot of info, readable [15:42] but the problem is... if i pipe it [15:42] "diff --text before.reg after.reg > test.log" [15:42] not readable at all :) how come? [15:44] HookProcess: whats the output like, text? [15:45] thing is when i write the output to a file, its flooded with ^@ and each line ends with ^M^@ [15:45] did they originally from from windows or dos by any chance [15:45] do i need to convert the output to something ? [15:45] i have a realteck ac97 where can i get a good driver for it? [15:45] ya, windows [15:45] hi I have installed LAMP server on ubuntu and added my website, but I want to add a mail server too and a mail webclient like roundcube? how can I do this? [15:46] lucian: you should already have a "good driver for it." [15:46] HookProcess: dos2nix or dos2unix [15:46] ah, ill try that [15:46] hiyas all [15:46] lucian: are you having problems with your sound card? [15:46] HookProcess: might be on your system already if not go and get it [15:46] thanks [15:46] its buggy it get wird sounds [15:46] HookProcess: np [15:46] lucian: can you be more specific about "wird [sic] sounds?" [15:46] cutout: this isn't really the channel to ask about that. there's a ton of different mailserver softwares and configuring/securing them is very involved. [15:46] in what package are the mkbootmsg command? [15:47] ActionParsnip, Thanks...seems to have worked....needed to download the nvidia driver from their website, because the jaunty version didn't work with the upgraded kernel [15:47] it does not produce a clear sound [15:47] tensorpudding: is there any of them on the ppa, give a hint please... [15:47] Is there a reason why the kernel is compiled with a different version of gcc than what shipped with jaunty? [15:47] any webdesign programs native to linux ... if so can anyone here recommend any ? [15:47] cutout: postfix and exim are two popular mailservers available, and are well-documented at their prospective websites, as roundcube probably is as well [15:48] DragonKeeper, define 'webdesign program' [15:48] lucian: what sort of unpleasant sounds are produced instead? [15:48] http php comatible program to design webpages [15:48] tensorpudding: thanks [15:48] cutout: the former two are definitely available in Ubuntu's package repositories. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Exim4 [15:49] thanks again :) tensorpudding [15:49] 15 [15:49] DragonKeeper, Does it need to be able to do php, or is that just a nice-to-have? [15:50] i had problems while listening mp3s [15:50] DragonKeeper, Quantus [15:50] I'm testing out my notifications. Could someone please say my nick in a message? [15:50] ok ty [15:50] DragonKeeper, I don't know if linux native, but it works [15:50] hi chuckh1958 [15:50] i am setup from sound preference to using surround 5.1, and in tests it works [15:50] chuckh1958: no [15:51] mawx: she_dyed: Thanks. It didn't send a notice [15:51] Hey, some time ago, my login screen window where I can select the user isn't skinned anymore and looks totally ugly :-) How can I fix that? And is there a possibility to skin the whole GDM? It seems there was some time ago but it's gone with the new versions :( [15:51] but when play some mp3 in rhythmbox or totem, it not play as it is play in analog sterio mode [15:51] chuckh1958: but the plugin is loaded? [15:51] Hi. Is there a way to install a i386 package on Ubuntu amd64? [15:51] is there fix for this? [15:51] Ah. I see where it put it. On the top right of the pidgin window but didn't notify via libnotify [15:52] DragonKeeper, I believe he meant 'Quanta' [15:52] goltoof, right? [15:52] Ashfire908: yes you can have 32bit binaries in 64bit versions [15:52] Ashfire908: but you need 32bit libraries [15:52] How would I set that up? [15:52] Ashfire908: i.e. every library that your 32-bit executable is supposed to link to needs to be available in 32-bit form. [15:53] like a broken subufer [15:53] what's going on? i keep getting disconnected every time i ask a question [15:53] Is jaunty the only ubuntu where the kernel is compiled with a different version of gcc than what the distro ships with? [15:53] can anyone see this? [15:53] hello? [15:53] how can I create a shortcut to my desktop of my wow exe file? also when I set permissions to executable id dose not stay checked. any idea why? [15:53] there is a package which provides a lot of 32-bit libraries for Unix systems [15:53] goltoof, yes...we can see you just fine [15:53] someone grunt, please [15:53] goltoof, it's your connection [15:53] thx [15:53] i think it's called ia32-libs [15:53] hehe [15:53] goltoof: grunt [15:53] u know the that sound i don know how to call it [15:54] german [15:54] !de | golfi [15:54] golfi: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [15:54] looking at pidgin notification plugin. Whats the difference between "raise" window v. "present" window? [15:54] tensorpudding, Ok. Should have mentioned this is a .deb package (not from a package list or such), does that matter? [15:54] hey [15:55] Ashfire908: there's decent odds it won't work [15:55] why do you need to run this 32-bit deb, anyway? [15:55] chuckh1958: present means show it on desk if its minimized, raise- put on top of windows [15:56] chuckh1958: do you have it in a tray sometimes? [15:56] hi all, i have a netpc aspire one and i'd like to reinstall a fresh ubuntu. can anyone tell me where do i get install disk ? [15:56] tensorpudding, Adobe AIR. No, I don't like it, but I want to use something that uses it, so... [15:56] it should be available in 64-bit also [15:56] she_dyed: thanks. Looks like one of them pops up a libnitify balloon too if it's minimized. [15:56] if not, it's probably because if you tried to install it it won't work. [15:57] chuckh1958: thats what you're after right [15:57] ? [15:57] she_dyed: yes. All I really want is a balloon [15:57] Hi . how t check md5sum for xubuntu iso [15:58] tensorpudding, They only have an option for different packages. I don't see a way to get a 64-bit one, and the deb installer says it's for i386. [15:58] !md5 | home-alone [15:58] home-alone: 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 [15:58] AIR supposedly will work on 64-bit if you provide 32-bit libraries, but it hasn't been fully tested [15:58] she_dyed: might even be coming from the libnotify popups plugin [15:58] There's just no comparison between empathy and pidgin when it comes to IRC. [15:58] Ashfire908: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/521/cpsid_52132.html#main_ins_air2_64bit_ubuntu904 [15:59] Is ubuntu server command line only? [15:59] Ashfire908: This probably could be adapted to 10.10/10.04 [15:59] tensorpudding, Oh, well if Adobe claims it, then it probably won't work... [15:59] adabo: doesn't have to be. === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [16:00] well i downloaded that for windows it says md5sum is different .what could be the reason [16:00] Ashfire908: you need to create a bunch of softlinks for dynamic 32-bit libraries so that AIR knows how to find them, but such that they don't confuse ld and get loaded for 64-bit programs [16:00] sipior: What do you mean? [16:00] Hi-yo all [16:01] hello [16:01] Hey, some time ago, my login screen window where I can select the user isn't skinned anymore and looks totally ugly :-) How can I fix that? And is there a possibility to skin the whole GDM? It seems there was some time ago but it's gone with the new versions :( [16:01] adabo: you can install whatever you like on an ubuntu server machine, including graphical applications. [16:01] when I go to properties on my wow.exe file and go to permissions and check the "allow executing file as program" it un checks. any idea why? im running wine and the game works fine but I cant get it to work as shortcut cause of permissions. ubuntu 10.10 and wow folder is on a different drive from copied from previous windows install [16:01] Ashfire908: those getlibs debs are probably not going to work though, and it doesn't seem that they're available from Ubuntu. [16:01] ubuntu 10 is a crap [16:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601810 [16:01] sipior: So out of the box, ubuntu is command line, am i correct? [16:02] adabo: out of the box, ubuntu server is, yes. [16:02] hi, i have a problem with the "startup disk creator" utility. everytime i try to install ubuntu into a pen drive,more or less at 60%, it stops and says "Error, can't read from /tmp/i943nm96". Can someone help me? [16:02] server... sorry [16:02] sipior: Perhaps a suggestion for a gui? [16:02] tensorpudding, Looks like it's from some Ubuntu Forums member. [16:02] adabo: why? [16:02] real servers need them not [16:02] fmigpaulo: that attitude just annoys us [16:03] adabo: i mean, what are you planning on using the thing for? [16:03] sipior: I'm curious :) Just experimenting. [16:03] sorry for showing my state of mind [16:03] windowmaker is a good gui [16:04] adabo: gnome is perfectly serviceable; there's certainly no lack of choices on that front. [16:04] sipior: OK! :) [16:04] it's so bland looking that you won't get distracted by eye-candy, and it'll run light on any graphics [16:04] can a virus currupt an iso file..? [16:04] jrgp: Its my first time losing data because of OS [16:04] tensorpudding: Perfect :D [16:05] So I take it gnome is not installed on server? [16:05] home-alone, it can, but I cant remember if ive ever seen such virus [16:05] home-alone: If the virus has write access to it, and if that's one of the things the virus does, then sure. [16:05] hi, does anyone know how to get tmux panes to copy and paste with XWindows? Regular tmux windows work, but panes do not. [16:06] edxs: you use mouse-copy and paste? [16:07] tensorpudding, Eh, it's not worth messing up my system. [16:07] hello. I am using Ubuntu 10.10. When I suspend my laptop, it does indeed suspend. But when I press the power button to resume, it simply restarts. Is there a solution to this problem? [16:08] are there small games with online multiplayer for ubuntu [16:08] dnivra: add "resume=UUID=" to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume, run" sudo update-initramfs -u" after that [16:08] dnivra: with my desktop all i need to do is a light push on the power, without pushing it all the way, just halfway === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [16:09] dnivra, Did you try waking it up with the keyboard instead (if your laptop supports that)? [16:09] she_dyed, well i just have to give a slight jab too-it worked fine in 10.04. [16:09] she_dyed: yes, but I don't care as long as I can paste crap from firefox into a pane. === henry`_ is now known as henry` [16:09] Ashfire908, no i need to press the power button. that's how i have always done it. [16:09] edxs: see if holding alt or shift will help in mouse-paste [16:10] dnivra, Oh, sorry, didn't know it worked on 10.04, you can ignore me then. [16:10] llutz, it already contains that particular line. [16:10] Ashfire908: If you really want to test it out, you could try making a 32-bit chroot [16:10] tensorpudding, That's too much like work. [16:10] Ashfire908: interfacing with said chroot is tricky though [16:11] talk about a sledgehammer [16:11] hello guys [16:11] I don't really know what Adobe AIR is though, nor really care. [16:12] she_dyed: I got a grabby hand, but I still couldn't even select text with the mouse in any pane. [16:12] can I get help with chmod? I have a world of warcraft folder on my Storage 1 hard drive and I cant get it to give permissions through properties. I tried to cd in terminal to that drive but no luck [16:13] edxs not even with alt or shift held down [16:13] I can't start virtual machine on ubuntu only when using debugging mode [16:13] woodyjlw, why not use the GUI to set permissions? [16:13] woodyjlw, i meant what is wrong if you try using the properties window? [16:13] I mean Windows Xp as Virtual on ubuntu [16:14] woodyjlw: FAT or NTFS [16:14] she_dyed: ooh, shift worked. thanks! [16:14] NTFS [16:14] Is there a graphical version of grub? I tried Burg but it doesnt work [16:14] how can you mount those samba shares that nautilus finds in the network neighbourhood? [16:14] edxs: i'm glad you KNOW mouse copy/paste [16:14] dnivra, when I go to properties window and click allow execute the check goes away [16:14] ntfs [16:15] hi, there's an annoying bug bugging me, but I'm still unsure who it belongs to. I have ubuntu 10.04, I open terminal, maximize it. then I open firefox, and maximize it. When I click the X button to close firefox, the click goes through to the X button and closes terminal. This happens with firefox on top of any other program too. and now I just got it again on mandriva linux [16:15] wow true transparency [16:15] when i use nmap, how do i choose if i want to use wlan0 or eth0 to scan? === HeadOfYetty is now known as Dice-Man [16:16] they are connected to two different AP [16:16] woodyjlw, she_dyed's right. ntfs is the problem. you need to set permissions as root. that will work I think. [16:16] Hi guys I'm not sure if this is really an appropriate place to ask, but I've just installed 10.04 onto my server (it's been taken out of co-loc) and i'm trying to set everything back up [16:17] hello all [16:17] let me rewrite the question, when i use nmap, how do i choose if i want to use wlan0 or eth0 to scan from? [16:17] dnivra, ok so in terminal how do I set root? sorry I have done this before but forgot [16:17] and i'm getting: libtool: link: `ext/date/php_date.lo' is not a valid libtool object --- make: *** [sapi/fpm/php-fpm] Error 1 [16:17] what game! [16:17] woodyjlw, set AS root user. prefix "sudo" before the command. === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [16:17] fep: the man page for nmap gives information about the "-e" switch, which should do what you want. [16:17] ramiro maybe the focus still stayed on the prior app, check your window focus settings [16:18] sipior: thanks [16:18] ramiro like the term was still ACTIVE and had focus [16:18] she_dyed: but does it still matter who has focus when you can see the X button and click on it? (I can see from the title bar name that it's firefox I intend to close) [16:19] ramiro: and FF was the last thing you opened right? [16:20] hello... any nvidia tv-out expert here ? [16:20] dnivra, can I set myself as root in terminal and then go to permissions and check the allow execute [16:20] she_dyed: focus can be configured in many window managers [16:20] TheSelby: mine works fine, what's the problem? [16:20] rp2 i know [16:20] woodyjlw, no that doesn't work. [16:20] ok [16:20] are you using hdmi or vga ? [16:20] i don't maximize much so i haven't run into this [16:21] woodyjlw, just use chmod. that's easy :). [16:21] rp2 neither do I =) [16:21] ok [16:21] or open nautilus as root "gksudo nautilus" and then use the GUI to set permissions. [16:21] thanks [16:21] !clone [16:21] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [16:21] I have open office 3.2 I want to remove all office softwares except writer and calc how to do that [16:21] woodyjlw, or open nautilus as root "gksudo nautilus" and then use the GUI to set permissions. === SuperHark is now known as Guest95067 [16:21] Is there a good Windows Server 2008 chat room?

What would be the easiest method of transferring/replicating *all* partitions from it to the new harddrive (they're different sizes too, btw). It's mixed Win7/NTFS and Ubuntu partitions. [16:23] Those have just been added through an update though. The 2.6.32-24 was there before and that does not work [16:23] VSpike :) === luke_ is now known as lukus [16:24] I should add that the error is a kernel panic saying it cant find root [16:24] does anyone know if it is possible to install the previous netbook interface along with the new unitiy on on ubuntu? === will_ is now known as SuBmUnDo === NG_ is now known as ng_ [16:25] VSpike: Here is one of my enteries, as an example to follow : http://pastebin.com/5XKFHVKA [16:25] mrbdotse: ddrescue I think [16:25] cwhaleyjr: probably.... might be buggy though [16:26] did they have a name for the previous one besides the netbook interface? [16:26] mrbdotse: you mean the contents of the partitions too? Or just the partition setup? [16:26] VSpike: all of it. Partitions, bootmanagers, MBRs, etc. [16:27] when i try to install a theme in ubuntu a msg. comes ..........."can't move directory over directory" [16:28] Is there a graphical version of grub? I tried Burg but it doesnt work [16:28] mrbdotse: package gddrescue ... something like "ddrescue -r 4 -b 4096 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd ~/recovery.log" [16:29] hi folks. is there a database in the internet with all known USB-IDs as used by lsusb? === diceman___ is now known as Dice-Man [16:29] anix: Yes. [16:29] mrbdotse: probably need a sudo on that. /dev/sdc is SOURCE and /dev/sdd is DEST ... make sure you get them the right way round other wise you zap everything [16:29] anix: Look at: less $(which update-pciids) [16:29] VSpike: :P [16:29] VSpike: thanks [16:29] when i try to install a theme in ubuntu a msg. comes ..........."can't move directory over " what is this anyone know [16:30] Why use Ubuntu instead of Debian ? [16:30] VSpike: no problems running that while running ubuntu on one of the partitions or should I boot up on a live usb? [16:31] mrbdotse: That should just copy block for block all data from whatever drive you put first to whatever drive you put second ... note the lack of a partition number afterwards (e.g. /dev/sdc1) .. that mean you get the mbr and partition table too [16:31] Hello. I've been having an issue with my laptop ever since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04. Whenever I boot the latest kernel (the one that came with 10.10) I don't see anything on the screen. The system appears to be booting normally (judging by hard disk activity), it's just that I never get anything on the screen. The only way to boot my system (and have a display) is to use an old kernel left over from 10.04. My system [16:31] is a laptop (HP Elitebook 2730p) running intel graphics. I should add that I've tried the latest mainline kernel builds, and the current mainline (2.6.35.4, that matches the current Ubuntu kernel) also does not work, but the next kernel (2.6.35.7) does work. [16:31] mrbdotse: live usb preferable [16:31] joebb: this isn't an advocacy forum. [16:31] hey, i just installed Lubuntu and wanted to write something into my xorg.conf - but there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 !? how can that be? :D [16:32] VSpike: preferable, but not necessary? =P *lazy and quite possibly lost the USB.. somewhere...* === blueghost is now known as diving [16:33] mrbdotse: probably not necessary no although there is a small risk. if possible boot with recovery mode and use single user root console [16:33] can anyone help me with: libtool: link: `ext/date/php_date.lo' is not a valid libtool object --- make: *** [sapi/fpm/php-fpm] Error ?

[16:35] jpds: thank you. didn't help. vendor ID 17ef is unknown (surprising, it's lenovo) [16:36] hi there, i have a question, i'm using 10.04 ubuntu amd64 and i want to change the theme of pidgin (in some moment it changes itself, i dont know how, but it is normal again) somebody can help me? i have h4x0r theme but i dont know how to install it v (please help me :) ) [16:37] anix: did you try just googling for it, out of interest? [16:39] Alright... first some TV... then some ddrescue... [16:39] VSpike: yes, i googled, but with no success. lsusb on ThinkPad W700 (model 2758-MRG) brings up the ID 17ef:1008 which i suspect to be the integrated cam, but either no-one has problems with the camera under Ubuntu (10.04, 10.10 32bit) or the camera has a different USB which isn't shown because the camera may be defect [16:39] Hello, [16:40] is there away to restore a partition that was being moved/resized but was cut off due to a power-outage? any kind of recovery tools??? [16:41] or anix or nobody uses the cam on that model on ubuntu =( [16:41] anix: ever had it work on any nix distro? [16:41] starn: might be helpful: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [16:42] ? [16:42] maybe it was my windows partition lol so if it can recover ntfs i will be happy. i was still in middlle of getting important files onto linux :| [16:42] mmm.. anyone else having trouble loading gnome-terminal from vnc? [16:43] I got this error when i try to install ubuntu : mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error any help?

[16:43] just updated to 10.10 last night [16:43] is pure-ftpd no longer included in any repositories? [16:43] Hey guys, I'm looking for VPN server software that will run on linux, but allow windows clients to connect. I tried openvpn, however it has a 2 connection limit. Anyone have any experience with this? [16:43] ninjai: xrdp? [16:43] i clearly have lots of repos added, but it keeps telling me it cant find the package pure-ftpd [16:44] what about without the d at the end Reyuken [16:44] Reyuken: It's in the universe repo. [16:44] she_dyed: never used any other OS or distro on that machine, so i can't even tell if h/w is defect. i have found forum posts with lsusb output where 17ef:1008 was included, for other ThinkPad models though, and no further information about cam [16:44] mcmlxxix: No, VPN server, not RDP server. I need them to authenticate to my LAN with a VPN server located on a linux box. [16:45] http://paste-it.net/public/d5338c2/ [16:45] Reyuken: But you probably want #ubuntu-server. [16:45] xrdp works with vpn and rdp [16:45] im not every experiences, so bear with me :P [16:45] but it looks like i have hadded universe [16:45] added* [16:45] oh , sorry [16:45] mcmlxxix: I need them in my lan, not on the linux box. VPN != RDP === lieuwe is now known as lieuwe[afk] [16:46] anix those numbers translate to the cam brand and model? [16:46] guess i didnt understand the question then. [16:47] mcmlxxix: A VPN server allows clients to connect to your LAN via an encrypted channel. Once connected to the LAN, they have access to both their personal LAN _and_ your LAN. Nothing to do with RDP necessarily. [16:47] !samba [16:47] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:47] she_dyed: there is 17ef:6004 which i learned is the integrated digitizer. but no information found on 17ef:1008, which may be the cam, or may not. but there is nothing else that could be the integrated cam. [16:48] ninjai: my bad. my eyes saw vpn but my brain processed it as VNC [16:48] how do i install this? http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml [16:49] either i can get a lsusb of a perfectly working ThinkPad W700 that shows the integrated cam, or i find something that explains what 17ef:1008 is [16:49] it asks me to insert disk 0 [16:49] mcmlxxix: No problem. [16:50] alright guys, i really need some help getting my resolution to change higher than 800x600... i just dont know where to start. *begs for help* [16:50] anix my experience is, dmesg out would translate those numbers for you e.g. Creative Labs Webcam and that means a successful detection, if it stayed numbers it went duh on you [16:51] Ubuntu rox/ [16:51] Nertil: Yes! :) [16:51] Hi. Is it possible to install a x86 package in an x86-64 system? I am trying to install the Citrix Receiver on a 64bit install. Thanks. [16:51] anix: does the lenovo website indicate the model or chipset [16:52] she_dyed: oh, OK, i'll check dmesg. and the lenovo website didn't have the information i was looking for [16:52] (or i were not able to find) [16:52] anix or bootmsg [16:53] anix: if you know the other cam works you could save some time [16:53] so sipior what is the partition does not mount??? === phnom_ is now known as phnom [16:54] any other sharing service like samba? [16:54] she_dyed: which other cam? i have another notebook W500, smaller model, and ubuntu 10.04 where the integrated cam works perfectly (17ef:4807). [16:54] starn: care to provide a bit more context? [16:54] hey who can help me get back on my initial ubuntu audio driver? [16:55] !sharing [16:55] anix oh you mentioned another thinkpad w700 [16:55] the 260gb partition for windows will not mount at all soo testdisk is only scanning the partitions that it can see [linux] [16:55] she_dyed: sorry for the confusion. i use the W500 where the cam is supported. but on the W700 there is the problem with unknown usb-id [16:56] anix: gotcha [16:56] starn: have you looked through the FAQ, and all the extensive documentation available?

[17:53] number 11 should be "reinstall 10.04" [17:53] jg47hm: make a new partition of unallocated space using gparted, install windows there, you may have to manually add windows to grub [17:53] livingdaylight: you might need to install xsane first [17:53] i'm frustrated with ssh/scp and rsync, they always stall, and when i kill the transfer and reissue the command it starts right up - it's as though one packet got lost and it give up completely and just sits there...?

[17:59] you must using 10.10 repository, run update and then upgrade [17:59] blackshirt1, how do i use said 10.10 repository? [17:59] Hey, some time ago, my login screen window where I can select the user isn't skinned anymore and looks totally ugly :-) How can I fix that? And is there a possibility to skin the whole GDM? It seems there was some time ago but it's gone with the new versions :( [18:00] livingdaylight: all I can say is email Brother (I assume they have a bug report process) and let them know what is going on. Also yes brother makes nice machines. [18:00] Hi, just wondered how can I tell what firmware a device of mine is running?

[18:01] i got a usb drive...i put it on my xp desktop and my av detected a virus on it...but cannot be deleted....i pulled it out and i put it on my ubuntu am i safe? or i just did the dumbiest thing? [18:01] goltoof: what you need to do is go to Software Sources and change from LTS only to Normal Releases and then 10.10 will be offered [18:01] helpp: i'd try the BIOS settings first [18:01] heyy [18:02] she_dyed, thx [18:02] I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available [18:02] noob-tux, no in ubuntu you can run the avast linux client on the drive to remove the virus or you can just wipe it completely [18:02] helpp: you're welcome [18:04] experiment failed, as predicted [18:04] oi [18:04] goltoof: got d/c, but did that help? [18:04] blackshirt1, so change each line in sources.list to maverick? [18:04] i thought wubi would create a new ext partition [18:04] Hi, how can I grep for the string -1 It keeps giving me the generic error to look at the help file when I do ls -lahR | grep -1 [18:04] goltoof: that can break your install. I don't recommend it [18:05] Opinion/Suggestion for UbuntuL (sorry but I may never figure out the "official" channel for suggestions) Re Audio Gain control on the Panel. viz: I'd like (an option of?) + and - buttons to click. Or once vol. is opened a way to go by stages. (I'd like it vertical to but that's not what this comment is about.) As it is not it is difficult to control. It goes HIGH too easily. I may want to keep it quiet for friends in the room. Right n [18:05] ow I do not even have the option to mute it then adjust it. MUTE it, It might help to have numbers on it so I can set a level I have liked before. I'd like to mute it with one click. Altogether it's considerably less sophisticated/comfortable/useful than I would like,less friendly/harmonious too. THanks for listening. I'd like Ubuntu to be easier to use. THis is a surface property but another one that could be a deal-breaker. [18:05] madmax_x: do i need to install avast linux? i dont have it here now [18:05] não consigo entrar no jogo?

[19:25] i hate to ask a question this broad. but does anybody have pointers on setting up a webserver that's (relatively) safe running multiple sites which may not have completely trusted code? i keep having injection attacks and form manipulations come up (usually either send a ton of spam or launch some ssh dictionary attack) and drag the whole box down. since they're all running as www-data it's... [19:25] ...hard to track down the offending site. [19:25] hi i m using ubuntu 10.04 and network icon is missing in my top panel and i m unable to select my network so what should i do for this.? [19:25] CkhiKuzad: laptop?, do you have a Fn (function key) [19:25] aeon-ltd, no. it's a desktop. [19:26] yaaar: not really possible. Don't run untrusted code, or make sure you know where the dangerous code is. [19:26] How can I increase the font-size of the text in the virtual terminals, CTRL+ALT+F[1-8]? [19:26] sagar, restart gnome-panel [19:26] aeon-ltd, I have the F keys at the top of the keyboard. F[1-8] is shortened for F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 [19:26] yaaar: anything in the apache error/access logs? [19:26] goltoof: how to restart [19:26] PeterNL: then how do hosting companies run? they can't trust all their customers' code... [19:26] CkhiKuzad: curious, what does: service tty2 status; return? [19:27] sagar, forgot, looking... [19:27] yaaar: php safe mode helps a bit, but they should check their customer's code every once in a while. [19:27] trism: ckhikuzad@Skynet-Terminal:~$ service tty2 status; [19:27] tty2 start/running, process 627 [19:27] gotloof: ok [19:28] goltoof, terminal "sudo killall gnome-panel" [19:28] Or they use VMs. That might be the safest solution besides using dedicated servers (which might be way too expensive anyway) [19:28] goltoof, gnome-panel & [19:28] what are the new features in 10.10? [19:28] sagar, only problem with restarting gnome panel is it removes your quick icons [19:29] gotloof: ok [19:29] CkhiKuzad: alright, so they are running, not sure why you can't access them, perhaps some driver issue [19:29] madmax_x, is there a way to restart without it removing quick links? [19:29] Hey, I need some help - I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 and used 3 different softwares that put it onto usb that would then make it bootable. I used UltraISO Premium like I always would, I used universal USB installer from PendriveLinux.com and I also used unetbootin. I also tried it to a 4GB USB drive and also to a 4GB SDHC card. So, in total 6 different tries. They all failed in the same way - I would tap F9 to boot from USB at startup then [19:29] trism, what is the shortcut to access one? maybe i've got it wrong [19:29] gotloof: then what should i do..? [19:29] PeterNL: php.net says safe mode is deprecated. and i find it highly unlikely that hosting companies are auditing all their customers' sites for security vulnerabilities [19:29] Then it would just hang there, and do nothing. No lights on USB flashing, no hard disk light flashing. [19:30] yaaar: indeed. safe mode is dead. But it was a way to make hosting companies lifes easier. [19:30] CkhiKuzad: you had it correct [19:30] yaaar: there must be a way to have each user run apache as himseld, and not www-data. But I don't know [19:30] sagar, sudo killall gnome-panel [19:30] trism, where can i configure it, then? [19:30] @Ryann, It will help you if you use a CD instead of the usb install. [19:31] @Ryann, Even I had problems with the usb install. [19:31] sagar, as i stated it removes quick links, not sure how to restart without losing them [19:31] anyone by chance know how to hide join/leave notifications in xchat-gnome? [19:31] orko69_: Yeah, i read that there were some problems with the USB install. I thought maybe someone might know a fix, in here. [19:31] namchik, right click on the room, under settings [19:31] gotloof: ok n thanx [19:32] is it possible to install the server edition and desktop edition on the same machine? if so is it similar to installing two flavours of ubuntu on the same machine? [19:32] orko69_: Is it not possible to install it via USB for now, then? [19:32] i don't want to upgrade to 10.10, i want to reinstall, what's the best way to back up all my current settings ? I'd like a way to reinstall as many of the current programs/settings automatically, instead of redoing each one by one. [19:33] Alright, its official. the shortcut to access my virtual terminals has been disabled. i need help re-enabling it. [19:33] nits, not practical, you can install lamp server on desktop edition and make it a server [19:33] goltoof: then what's the deal with the server edition? [19:34] @Ryann, I would not say that. [19:34] orko69_: Do you know of anything that would help me in booting it from USB? [19:34] Hi, guys. I saw webinar. And now it's in my adobe cash, because i can listen it. Where i can find this audio file? [19:34] nits, it's cli only and comes with apache mysql php, you can install x and use it as desktop but it has different ram configs, etc to work as a server [19:34] Hi guys I created a symbolic link for php to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do? [19:35] goltoof: oh...... [19:35] goltoof: Thanks for explaining :) [19:35] nits, sudo tasksel install lamp-server ... turns your desktop into a server :) [19:35] @Ryann Which version of Ubuntu are you using to prepare the startup-disk? [19:35] goltoof: sweet Thanks :) [19:35] trying to install ubuntu 10.10 via WUBI. I already have the latest ISO downloaded, ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso and placed in the same folder as the wubi installed (C:\wubi) When I launch the wubi installer, it still wants to download the 64bit iso via torrent.. how do i stop it and make it use the iso I lready downloaded?? [19:36] (please note im not trying to force a 32bit vs a 64bit install, I know about the --32bit flag...) [19:37] [AutoGreetz] HellCome !!! [19:38] If I'm running an Ubuntu desktop with DHCP, how can I see what addresses it hands out? [19:38] I guess I'm looking for the "DHCP" that we find on Windows servers to view the leases, etc. [19:38] Roasted: ifconfig [19:38] that gives me the addresses I've handed OUT? [19:39] like I want to see the mac addresses and IPs of all clients that got an address from me. [19:39] Roasted: ups, you run dhcpd? doesn't it have a log /var/log/... [19:39] what is this keyring popping up everytime i boot? [19:39] is the 2.6.36 kernel going to be made available in meerkat? [19:39] asking for password before it connects to wireless [19:40] Roasted: look at /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases [19:40] I really need help. My TTY Virtual Terminal sessions are disabled. [19:40] @okaycool, You got to setup the wireless network as available to all users to prevent it from asking everytime. [19:41] llutz, I see, but the mac address of the system that just pulled an IP from me doesnt appear to be listed... sigh [19:41] hi guys, do you have any idea where one can submit ideas and complaints about the new unity user interface to the ubuntu people? [19:41] orko69_: thanks, did that [19:41] @okaycool, right-click on the network-applet, Edit connections... [19:43] is there a wubi installer for 10.10?

[19:47] so that I can install 32 bit apps [19:47] thanks, can i use two network cards and port them [19:52] Is there a program that is used to modify grub2, like startup-manager for grub legacy?

See also !Kopete [20:02] so anyone know how to replace empathy with pidgin? i really REALLY hate empathy and it's not-very-flexible config options [20:02] ok, found my answer. i can generate a uuid for the swap with uuidgen, and add that to the swap partition using mkswap and then edit fstab [20:02] is there a way to make mouse clicks count in the unlock screen password? [20:02] bluefox83: Yeah. [20:03] Go into synaptic and uncheck everythig Empathy, then install Pidgin. [20:03] Rather, uhm... [20:03] Mark everything Empathy for complete removal. [20:03] after todays update i was not able to boot into ubuntu. i had boot on ubuntu rescue stopped on "Begin: running ´/scripts/init-bottom... Done" and then just stayed there. Did several things, restored, updated system via live cd, updated grub several times, then i run testdisk, fixed partitions, rerun grub rescue, now disk is clean of all errors, grub is loaded, but i get this error now:...

[20:04] i am able to get into winxp via grub [20:04] Just remove everything Empathy (completely) then install everything for Pidgin. [20:04] k [20:04] Not terribly difficult.

[20:39] like nohup thunderbird && exit [20:39] @spanda oh, that seems beautifully easy. off to try. thanks! [20:39] DragonKeeper: then just for a test call kopete as root, to see if it's a permission Problem (don't let it become habit, if it works) [20:39] DasEi: Well, I dont know if I use this Sudo. But everytime I want to install a new program or anything install a driver or something. Ubuntu asks me for my password. [20:39] Could I just move the folder over? [20:39] ok [20:39] dail34: kk [20:39] Has anyone tried to downgrade the GDM in ubuntu 10.10? To the themeable gdm that is, and if so, does that also downgrade gnome's version in general? [20:39] kl0x, whats nohup comand & exit get you ? [20:39] laffer, system>preferances>apperance>visual effects tab> [20:39] kl0x: using screen maybe? [20:39] Sir_Leto which one, why not a copy [20:40] DasEi: Some sort of authentification. [20:40] Strumpa: you speack of GUI's then, mostly commandline is used, but it's the same mechanism [20:40] laffer pm [20:40] wgwinn: if I try to launch thunderbird it launches it and keeps running (the terminal screen) [20:40] if I wanted to force a 32 bit install would I use this line exactly: sudo dpkg -i - -force-architecture [20:40] jarle: trying to avoid that [20:40] DasEi: Okey, I think I understand. But this cannot be disabled? [20:40] llutz, Marcus_Jah thank you comrades [20:40] or would I replace architecture with 32bit?? [20:40] Strumpa: it's a linux way of of protecting the sys from unauthorized use [20:40] i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen. [20:41] It loads grub from the drive that wubi is on. Grub tries to boot from the second drive, which doesn't have wubi on it. [20:41] Strumpa: you could, but that would underun the idea behind it [20:41] Could I just move the Ubuntu folder? [20:41] does anyone know the answer to my question [20:41] DasEi: Yes, I understand. But It's rather annoying because noone else uses my computer. Ever! [20:41] wgwinn: I launch it through script [20:41] plug the sata drive into a drive buddy (makes it usb) then plug it in after boot Sir_Leto ? [20:41] Strumpa: you're online, apparently ;-) [20:42] wgwinn: [ "$mypassword" == "$PASS" ] && echo "." && nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit 0 || exit 0 [20:42] drive buddy? [20:42] DasEi: I thought Linux was pretty safe? :P [20:42] Sir_Leto: its wubi, which is essentally for test drving [20:42] Strumpa, you have to protect your computer if you want to ever have any open ports or services running on it, even a home network, or by accident. [20:42] how do i change my keyring password? iv recently installed the netbook remix but the password is "ubuntu" [20:42] I don't have another drive to partition, so I just use Wubi [20:42] DasEi ok well i ran kopete in root i can go into settings to change what camera to use but there is no button to ask the contact if they want to view =S [20:42] Sir_Leto: i would if i dont store critical data on the wubi side/ubuntu yet [20:42] Strumpa: let say you want to issue several commands, use the terminal.. maybe it's safer because of it's concept ?! [20:43] Sir_Leto: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002 <--something like that [20:43] Strumpa: well THAT is exactly the reason linux is safe :) and vista/7 are safe-ish too. [20:43] Hey everyone [20:43] Sorry bare in mind I only got half the conversation, sounds like having the drive in on bootup is causing you a problem [20:43] Can't I just point grub to the right drive? [20:43] Strumpa: open a terminal.. I'll show you [20:43] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording? [20:43] Okey, I guess I'll keep this password thingy then :P [20:43] yes you can [20:44] what version of grub you have makes it change the command to do it a lot :) [20:44] Strumpa: you can of course undermine ever safety mechanism, by, say, allowing users to gain superuser rights without password entry. then every program with internet access becomes a potential rootkit. [20:44] DasEi: Terminal = Open [20:44] can someone help me figure out why i get an input/output error with my external HDD? [20:44] I have Guayadeque music player and it is not appearing in my sound indicator [20:44] I have ubuntu 10.10 [20:44] does anyone know why? [20:44] Strumpa: sudo apt-get update [20:44] !grub [20:44] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [20:44] Strumpa: PW to be given once [20:44] andeeeuk: What sound indicator? [20:44] andeeeuk: probably because it doesn't know what pulseaudio is. [20:44] !grub2 Sir_Leto [20:44] !grub2 [20:44] the indicator in ubuntu 10.10 [20:44] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:45] great minds think alike, and so do ours! [20:45] DasEi: Hmm, I can't enter any password?? [20:45] Some1 forgot me! [20:45] i thought it would appear there like Rhythmbox? [20:45] Strumpa: what is a pass-word then, you're kidding ? [20:45] is that not right? [20:45] i can't even transfer files over to my HDD... ;[ [20:45] andeeeuk: In the system tray thingy? [20:45] yeah [20:46] andeeeuk probably not the best player, maybe not famous enough [20:46] DasEi: It says [sudo] password for henrik(ME): [20:46] that help at all Sir_Leto ? [20:46] yeah, i thought that [20:46] DasEi: But I cannot enter anything? [20:46] Strumpa: you will not get any feedback while typing the PW [20:46] andeeeuk: It`s in the settings somewhere [20:46] DasEi ok well i ran kopete in root i can go into settings to change what camera to use but there is no button to ask the contact if they want to view =S [20:46] hey DasEi [20:46] Yeah, I know where to look now. [20:46] Ya hice eso [20:46] but i have seen it in other peoples menu [20:46] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording? [20:46] Strumpa: just type it [20:46] aah, I did it [20:46] Strumpa: so enter your user pass [20:46] Strumpa: just type your pass, it wont give feedback but keep typing [20:46] how can I tell what my URL is for a virtual in ubuntu? [20:46] i have checke the settings and dont know what it could be [20:46] nanovany: url ? [20:47] Oh, lol didnt know that :P [20:47] http://pastebin.com/KHy6WBSn [20:47] err that came out wrong, how can I tell what my URL is for a virtual host in apache [20:47] !who | andeeeuk [20:47] andeeeuk: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:47] but, what about this? [20:47] DasEi: Okey, DasEi. What did that show me? :P [20:47] andeeeuk: andeeeuk I`m running in console mode remotely, I`m sure it`s in the first preferences section [20:47] does anyone else has problems putting files on external hdd [20:47] DragonKeeper: i can't understand that sentence; camera is found but .. ? please rephrase [20:47] DasEi: Some stuff came up. [20:47] hi there [20:47] halpp [20:47] !tab [20:47] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:47] lol [20:47] Strumpa: let the update finish [20:48] restarting to see if it works. [20:48] eaerth: none at all, look at your mount options [20:48] didn know that, thanks ubottu =P [20:48] nothingspecial: ok thanks i will have a look [20:48] DasEi: I updated when I first got in so there are no more updates I think [20:48] Strumpa: press enter if it asks you if.. Y/n [20:48] ActionParsnip: my mount options seems fine... [20:48] does anyone knows a gedit plugin that does indent C code ? [20:48] Strumpa: done ? [20:48] andeeeuk: If I remember, the settings are under the library thing in the menus [20:48] DasEi: Yes [20:48] when it mounts the folder comes and then i can't add files [20:48] scribes > gedit [20:49] eaerth: they can't be or you'd be able to write data..... [20:49] Strumpa: sudo apt-get upgrade [20:49] DasEi kopete running as root. settings can find and use the cam but in the contact window there is no way for me to send my cam out for someone else to view [20:49] "require threads;" is causing perl to say "This Perl not built to support threads" I verified the path is /usr/bin/perl, and that file matches the md5sum on another machine which is not giving me this error. What broke? [20:49] ActionParsnip: i get input/output error [20:49] Both machines are running Lucid, 64 bit. [20:49] eaerth: then unmount the partition and fsck it [20:49] ActionParsnip: fsck in terminal? [20:50] eaerth: yes, make sure its healthy [20:50] #join gluster [20:50] DragonKeeper: your contacts arent there, this might be because root uses another folder then regular user does, so got a permission problem then, close root-kopete and check groups (user >> video, dialout, whatever) [20:50] Hi guys I created a symbolic link for php to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do? [20:50] im using ubuntu studio but my grub seems messed up, there's no way for me to enter a menu and choose what kernel to boot from? all that happens is that ticking _ and pressing various buttons (esc space and so on) don't help at all. what to do? [20:51] Strumpa: see it now won't ask again ? [20:51] do you have this running like this yourself? [20:51] ActionParsnip: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2? [20:51] DasEi: Hmm, now it said something about. "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/. Is another process using it?" And the same about some "administartioncatalog" [20:51] Strumpa: it keeps up like this for 15 min, each sudo longers it again for this time [20:51] andeeeuk: pm :) [20:51] Strumpa: synaptics open ? softwarecenter ? [20:51] I am trying to install a game in ubuntu 10.10 using the CL and it tries to install into the .opt directory. When I hit forward, it says the directory /opt is not writable by the user. I have tried it both in user mode and sudo mode. I am a Linux noob. Any ideas anyone? [20:51] andeeeuk: On another machine, this one doesn`t have X but I know it appears in the tray and supports notifications and what have you [20:51] eaerth: if you just run fsck with suitable options on the unmounted partition, it should make sure itsok [20:52] DragonKeeper: no broadcast button, it might be some other menu [20:52] DasEi: Oh, yeah. Synaptics. Closed it now. [20:52] !fixapt | Strumpa [20:52] Strumpa: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [20:52] Strumpa: :) [20:52] log? [20:52] ActionParsnip: What is that? :P [20:52] DasEi: I guess I have alot to learn about this :) [20:53] zth: boot to livecd and chroot to the installed OS then run: sudo update-grub [20:53] DasEi she_dyed there isnt any sort of broadcast or video button that i can see :S [20:53] Strumpa: why the sticky out tongue? [20:53] ActionParsnip: it's totally unmounted and i still get the same fsck response... [20:53] nanovany: kernel 2.6.24-27, which distro ? [20:53] ActionParsnip: I am sorry. That wont happen again. [20:53] ActionParsnip: i really need this to work so i can fresh install ;[ [20:53] Strumpa: if you get that output it is likely your packages are locked [20:53] DragonKeeper: any of your buddies there right now? [20:54] Strumpa: did anybody give you already a hint for the ubuntu-manual? http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [20:54] eaerth: if you data is unhealthy, yes [20:54] ActionParsnip: I just closed Synaptics and then it worked :) [20:54] guntbert: Nope. I'm totally new. I'll check it out ;) [20:54] :S:S.. distro, I dont know what it is, I am new in ubuntu jejeje.. [20:54] Strumpa: same deal, only ONE app can access the packages at one time [20:54] guntbert: Thanks :) [20:54] ActionParsnip: it should be fine i just had it up not two hours ago and was transferring files. [20:54] she_dyed yes on my contact list -- not physically in the room [20:55] Strumpa: read the links one provides here, part by part you'll get it [20:55] ActionParsnip: Yes, I know. I just didn't realize I had Synaptics running. [20:55] nanovany: "Linux" is the kernel, the "distro" or distribution is what is built around, in this case it's Ubuntu [20:55] ok, so, after I just now update my Ubuntu 10.04, the icons in Wine are blue! How do I change that? [20:55] ActionParsnip: i tried to create a text document there and it wouldn't let me do that or add files... i think i can still take files from there and put it on my machine fine. [20:55] Strumpa: every day is a school day [20:55] If I need to connect with dial up, and I only have a live cd in my hand, how may I do this [20:55] DragonKeeper: i'm only thinking that it's super fancy that it will show 'broadcast' when you're chatting with someone... [20:56] eaerth: i suggest you fsck -a /dev/partitionname to ensure its health, then check mount options [20:56] DasEi, ActionParsnip: I guess so :) [20:56] how do i install this? http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml it asks me to insert disk 0 === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [20:56] I really like these jelly windows though :D [20:56] lol [20:56] compiz rulz [20:56] aaah oookk, jeje [20:56] Sean93: 13Gb!!!? [20:56] UBUNTU 10.10 maverick [20:57] can anyone help me with the symbolic link for php ? [20:57] I created the link to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do? [20:57] she_dyed there is nothing that says video or broadcast i checked all menus on every windows i even looked at configure toolbars incase the button wasnt there by default [20:57] y [20:57] ActionParsnip: yes [20:57] Sean93: did you download via the torrent? [20:57] BlaDe^: uuh, you compiled your own PHP? [20:57] no wget [20:57] yeah LjL [20:57] i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen. [20:58] BlaDe^: ... why? [20:58] ActionParsnip: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sbd1 [20:58] /dev/sbd1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [20:58] filesystem. (it's not ext2 though, it's ext3/ext4) [20:58] ActionParsnip: no wget [20:58] I needed to make some changes to the core [20:58] DragonKeeper: what i'm trying to say is start a chat with someone [20:58] eaerth: if you run: sudo fdisk -l you can list the available partitions [20:58] DragonKeeper: just the regular chat and see if anything changes in the window [20:59] how come nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit doesn't work in script but does in shell? [20:59] Sean93: did you md5 test the file you downloaded? [20:59] BlaDe^: uhm, you could always "apt-get source php", make the changes and then dpkg-build. anyway... so you created a symlink from what to /usr/local/bin/php? [20:59] she_dyed yes im in a chat window there is nothing :S i thought kopete had webcam support [20:59] nanovany: ? [20:59] ActionParsnip: no, how do i do that? [20:59] ActionParsnip: well wouldn't it not show up because you had me unmount it?

Is there away to go around this? [20:59] DragonKeeper: who told you that [20:59] LjL: from /usr/local/php/bin/php-5.3.3 [20:59] Sean93: you need the MD5 sum that the file is supposed to have, then run: md5sum filename to calculate the file's md5 you have [21:00] BlaDe^: what happens exactly when you run "php"? [21:00] it says to get it from apt [21:00] nanovany: the ati driver seems to have loaded fine, so what again was the issue then ?

[21:02] Pindakaas: welcome, a reading one :) [21:02] BlaDe^: that's weird. but wait, the "ls" output you just gave says /usr/local/php5/bin/php-5.3.3, but earlier you were doing /usr/local/php/bin/php-5.3.3 (without the "5") - maybe it's that? is /usr/local/php5 actually there?

It freezes on startup[graphics: intel gma 950] and I can't even read dmesg because there is nothing in there. [21:07] Sean93: i'd just search for the hash you generate., this is how you CHECK the file you have. You have failed to check the consistency of the file you downloaded so you have no idea if the file is good or not. Torrents add extra checks to the data [21:07] i'm trying to get IPBlock to start automatically at boot, it has an "Autostart" settings checkbox which is checked, but when x starts ipblock doesn't, yet it seems like the iplist backend might be running blocking stuff, but i dont know if it would run the automatic updates like the ipblock frontend..., how can I make the ipblock gui run on startup (being that it wants sudo privaleges to run)? [21:07] yes that is stuf i am really hapy with. I am going back to study it. Thank you ! [21:07] Nek: the native one? [21:07] fabrijz: ok good, this might prevent the external from sleeping [21:07] I am trying to install a game in ubuntu 10.10 using the CL and it tries to install into the /opt directory. When I hit forward, it says the directory /opt is not writable by the user. I have tried it both in user mode and sudo mode. I am a Linux noob. Any ideas anyone? [21:07] viewer: add it in your user startup items [21:07] ActionParsnip, yep [21:07] BriteLeaf: run the installer with sudo [21:07] ls list (memdisk) (hd0) (hd0,msdos1), etc [21:07] Pindakaas:np, let's keep each other running, have fun [21:08] briteleaf give it permissions temporaly [21:08] I did something wrong [21:08] ActionParsnip, but would I have to do gksudo and type the pasword in every time i boot? [21:08] tried that, as I stated [21:08] How come if I have a bunch of torrents downloading, my cache fills up to the brim and everything becomes slower? [21:08] fabrijz: at boot you hold the Fn and press the twin screen thing, there are 3 settings you cycle through, 1 is solo screen laptop, 2 is clone, 3 is solo external [21:08] Nek: i see, i use the windows one via wine as I am on an unlimited free account [21:08] !pkgstats [21:08] oops [21:08] she_dyed: yeah i did that but nothing happens [21:09] fabrijz: remember to press FN at BIOS time, not during boot process [21:09] sanduz2, are you using Transmission? It sucks relly bad. [21:09] kl0x: how do I give it permissions? [21:09] BriteLeaf: sudo should give it full access. You could try making the folder it is destined for in /opt then use sudo chown to make the folder owned by your user [21:09] nope im using deluge but i think the same thing did happen in transmission [21:09] sanduz2: I don't know what your bandwith is, but for my experiences more than a 4 at the same time are overkill in efficency [21:09] briteleaf chown better yup [21:09] Maybe your drive is slow. [21:10] DasEi, i dont mean bandwidth. linux starts to cache everything and then the system itself becomes a little slow at times [21:10] thanks. I'll try that then [21:10] she_dyed: yeah havent done that thanks ill tryit right now! [21:10] right now my cache is maxed out [21:10] fabrijz: most people forget that last item [21:10] sanduz2: what is a bunch of torrents, a dozen ? your ram ? cache settings of deluge ? [21:10] spanda: yeah, now it's saying it doesn't exist... and i'm looking right at it... [21:11] Sir_Leto: transmission is fine [21:11] hey, this might sound like a stupid question. but when i use longer keys in ecryptfs, will this impact cpu load when reading the fs? [21:11] It uses a ton of cpu [21:11] This might be a silly question, but is anyone experiencing really really slow download speeds with apt-get? [21:11] sanduz2: also regressed the maximum number of simultaneous connections ? [21:11] eaerth: lol. what msg exactly? [21:11] spanda: mount: mount point media/Osperous does not exist [21:11] Sir_Leto: are you referring to my question? [21:11] Segfault198: use another mirror [21:11] no [21:11] eaerth: you missed the leading / ? [21:12] DasEi, i have like 30 torrents, my ram is 4GB, cache size: 512, cache expiry: 60, max connections: 2000 [21:12] !who | Sir_Leto [21:12] Sir_Leto: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:12] spanda: oh jees, what the heck is wrong with me. [21:12] eaerth: i.e. /media/Osperous ? [21:12] guntbert: Thanks, I have but I don't mind trying another! [21:12] DasEi, this happpens all the time on linux when i have a lot of torrents, it even happened on ubuntu 10.04 before i messed with any settings [21:12] sanduz2: so set connection to a 128, maximum 4 torrents a time.. there you go for a 16MB/line downside [21:13] Segfault198: sometimes some mirrors deliver very slowly [21:13] where are stored options for CD automount in Ub 10.10? [21:13] gunbert: I've noticed. I just couldn't decide if it was on my end or not. Never hurts to get some feedback. [21:13] DasEi, but why does linux cache all my torrents? it doesnt seem to be useful [21:13] sanduz2: and if you got less bandwith, even 2 or 3 torrents are right [21:14] guys, is there a way to see which services are scheduled to be autostarted ?^I think one of them is freezing the machine. I want to start one by one on failsafe mode to check which one freezes [21:14] sanduz2: it does it to not kill your disk [21:14] my bandwidth is fine, its the system itself that lags [21:14] I suppose it is some powermanager or acpi related one [21:14] ah, that is a good point DasEi cant have my disk dying :) [21:14] ill keep the lag then lol [21:14] good grief... the entire reason i'm trying to back this up is because the screen keeps going black on me and it just did it again... [21:14] spanda: what was that command again? [21:15] !startup | kpoman [21:15] kpoman: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[21:15] sanduz2: you could make it write to disk directly, but first that's real disk-stress (also mind re-checking), second slow on high loads [21:15] ubottu: it is more about main services like apache etc... that I want to disable... it is not session startup, it is system startup [21:15] eaerth1: or text3 to mount as ext3 [21:16] eaerth1: sry -text3 [21:16] sanduz2: and also defrags stronger then [21:16] !bum | kpoman [21:16] eaerth: 4 if its ext4 3 if its ext3 [21:16] kpoman: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [21:16] thank you DasEi , ill definitely take the lag over a dead disk and fragmentation [21:17] eaerth: they're backward compatible so mounting ext4 as 3 is cool. [21:17] sanduz2: which bandwith do you have downside ? [21:17] !grub | viewer [21:17] viewer, please see my private message [21:17] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?

[21:17] kpoman: bum is also an convienent app vor viewing/modifying startup [21:17] DasEi, currently its at 1.5mbs [21:17] Where is a group password stored if it lists x in the /etc/group file? Im using sles10 and there is no gshadow file === tomas-_|away is now known as tomas-_ [21:18] where are stored options for CD automount in Ub 10.10? [21:18] zaxonspox: can you expand on that please [21:18] how come i can't run 'nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit' from script [21:18] zaxonspox: if you add the CD in /etc/fstab then it will automount just fine [21:19] ubuntu (latest) freezes on startup, started doing this at around 9.10 - cant read dmesg or single-user because well, it all freezes, im able to do stuff for like 10 seconds.. can anyone help me with that? [21:19] DasEi: I only have command line, the machine is 2500km far from here [21:19] kl0x: you can [21:19] ActionParsnip, my CD is mounted with rights 0500, i need i.e. 0755 where is the config file for automounting CD options? [21:19] spanda: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so ;[ [21:19] zaxonspox: edit the entry in /etc/fstab [21:19] DasEi: and it is freezing when booting. I managed to boot in failsafe mode and now am over ssh [21:20] sanduz2: I'd set it not to more then 200 connections, cache blocks not smaller < 512k, 5 torrents same time [21:20] ActionParsnip, in Ub 10.10 i have nothing about CD in /etc/fstab [21:20] kl0x: if you use: killall thunderbird_exe it will die [21:20] DasEi: I want to get rid of everything that autostarts, because it seems something is causing freeze. I would love to disable acpi and to put only those services I need: ssh and mysql [21:20] !fstab | zaxonspox [21:20] zaxonspox: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:20] eaerth1: sounds like you don't have a fs on that drive; what does dmesg | tail give? [21:20] zaxonspox: that link has an entry for CD you can add in /etc/fstab for the optical drive [21:20] DasEi: so how do I disable acpi from grub ? and how do I list the services currently auto-started, and get rid of some of them ? [21:21] kpoman: but it wasn't headless before ? configure ssh for x, update the machine and before : analyse the logs to see what went wrong [21:21] ActionParsnip, what i want is to call thunderbird through nohup and exit while it runs [21:21] does anyone knows if VRRP does still have the patent issues with CISCO? [21:21] ActionParsnip, i do understand that, but WHY my CD is automounted WITHOUT ANY cd entries in fstab? [21:21] ActionParsnip, and it doesn't work in script [21:21] DasEi, what does the "max connections" mean exactly? how many people can connect to your computer? why is it bad to put this high? [21:21] DasEi: I cant analyse the logs. it is a remote machine and it freezes. i cant even see logs. [21:21] DasEi: how do I list auto-start services ? [21:21] zaxonspox: it uses stuff in gnome, but if you want different options you can use fstab [21:22] kpoman: you could give i manually from the grubmenue, but over ssh.. acpi=off works, got to put it in grub [21:22] DasEi: and how to disable some of them ? [21:22] DasEi: let me take it out from grub ... just a minute [21:22] ActionParsnip, i can put stuff in fstab, but i would like to know how it works now "in the gnome stuff" [21:22] hi [21:23] sanduz2: I dont about deluge, but for usual best connectons get sorted, else you will ned more host-ressources, obvious, nor ? [21:23] know* [21:23] dasei: is this enought ? kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=d9365f24-31c1-447c-84f8-3ea1a19537cd ro quiet splash noacpi [21:23] zaxonspox: that I am unsure of but I'm sure the many search engines online can tell you [21:23] kpoman: try acpi=off [21:23] DasEi, hmm okay thank you [21:23] !bootoptions [21:23] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [21:23] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording? [21:24] kpoman: and.. [21:24] How do I find out my hostname that my isp assigns to me? [21:24] DasEi: I put both ... coacpi and acpi=off [21:24] noacpi [21:24] kpoman:in a state like this, maybe have a working default to boot case you mess (locking yourself out, otherwise) [21:24] kpoman: I wouldN't try that, see above [21:25] eaerth1: how abt sudo fdisk /dev/hdc -l [21:25] jghkhjkk: cpc1-seac10-0-0-cust324.7-2.cable.virginmedia.com [21:25] DasEi: i didnt understand what you said [21:25] jghkhjkk: http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.htm [21:25] kpoman: first watch the logs, and see whats up, then.. [21:25] ActionParsnip, you forgot about me..mmm i see [21:25] ActionParsnip, =P [21:25] DasEi: I edited menu.lst and have add noacpi and acpi=off at the end of the default entry [21:25] jghkhjkk: your IP can be seen with http://www.ipchicken.com [21:25] kpoman: update/grade the box, alter ssh to allow x, then.. [21:26] DasEi: I cant watch the logs [21:26] ActionParsnip, is cpc1-seac10-0-0-cust324.7-2.cable.virginmedia.com my hostname? [21:26] kpoman: make sure a reboot won't kill shh access, too [21:26] DasEi: what do you mean by alter ssh to allow x ? I dont want xorg ! [21:26] kpoman: why no logs ? [21:26] kl0x: i have no reply so have nothing intelligent to add, so said nothing so others can add [21:26] spanda: yeah nothing happened when i ran that. ;\ [21:26] jghkhjkk: you IP appears to be 120.16.239.80 [21:26] DasEi: because the machine freezes !!! then when it reboots i dont have the last logs [21:26] where can i host an image file temporarily, just so i can show it to you? [21:26] ActionParsnip, i know i know i was just kidding [21:26] but I don't have a hostname? [21:26] DasEi: of the last thing it did... i should boot over a livecd to see [21:26] Sean93: imageshack [21:27] eaerth1: sounds to me like you've got a broken hard drive ... [21:27] kpoman: in the beginning you said it has had working x and now that won't work no more [21:27] DasEi: and i am 2500km from there [21:27] Where are group passwords stored if "x" is listed as the password in /etc/group and there is no gshadow file? Its a bonus question for class, we are using SUSE 10. [21:27] spanda: dude don't sayyyyyyyyy thatttt it's not even mine. ;S [21:27] alright ppl, c ya, have fun, peave & love lol [21:27] I guess I don't have a hostname :( [21:27] DasEi: i dont need x, i want now to disable everything but ssh [21:27] eaerth1: anything in the dmesg? [21:27] Fletchs: in /etc/shadow [21:27] maybe i can try plugging it into my mom's windows laptop and see if it works? because i think the files on it are still okay... [21:27] kpoman: ok then, no ssh x [21:27] DasEi: no, i just want ssh and some basics [21:28] ActionParsnip, so I don't have a hostname? [21:28] DasEi: how do i list the autostarted services ? [21:28] kpoman: but you know can ssh in ? [21:28] spanda: says the same thing [21:28] jghkhjkk: if your IP had a reverse hostname, it'd show up when you do /whois jghkhjkk [21:28] ActionParsnip: isnt that just for users and not groups? [21:28] DasEi: no, i told someone there to manually configure eth0 and start ssh [21:28] eaerth1: you'd need windows support for ext3 or ext4 to read it. [21:28] DasEi: and that person took 2 hours to configure eth0 and start ssh [21:28] Hi everyone, I'm just wondering, I'm still on karmic should I upgrade to 10.10 [21:28] DasEi: on failsafe mode btw [21:29] kpoman: aah, oh je [21:29] eaerth1: it isn't a drive off a windows machine is it? [21:29] yeo [21:29] spanda: well it was used mainly on a windows. [21:29] Fletchs: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Shadow-Password-HOWTO-2.html [21:29] LjL, I'm using mobile internet, perhaps that's why they don't have a hostname.... [21:29] spanda: and i know it works because i've used it quite a bit in the past with no trouble... [21:29] ok, i trying to install a game in wine. It starts installing fine but then tells me to mount disk0. I'm not sure how to do that. This is the contents of the installation folder http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/897/screenshotaion2002fulli.png [21:29] DasEi: that is why i want a safe-booting box first. I mean, get rid of everything but ssh, then start adding services and see what happens [21:29] I didn't know you could have no hostname.... [21:29] dalton2345: I'd recommend upgrading to Lucid and then staying on it for two years. It's an LTS, so it's supported for a lot longer, and if you stay on LTSes you only need to upgrade every two years. [21:29] 1.2 hours of waiting, i'll ask and wait another hour for assistance. why is ubuntu (latest) freezing on startup? even if i disable compiz. won't even let me read dmesg or system logs. [21:29] eaerth1: oh OK, probably its either ntfs or fat, not ext 3 or 4 === oracle_ is now known as oracle [21:29] yeah it's ntfs [21:29] jghkhjkk: actually there's a few non-mobile ISPs that provide no hostnames [21:29] try mount -tvfat /dev/sdb1 ... [21:29] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording? [21:30] rww: isn't karmic a LTS [21:30] dalton2345: no [21:30] eaerth1: try mount -tvfat /dev/sdb1 [21:30] Is it normal for mobile ISPs to provide no hostname? [21:30] DasEi: so the question is: how to see what is autostarted ? and how to get rid of as much as possible stuff there [21:30] Set up an ssh server, and am seemingly browsing the internet through a SOCKS connection through it. Also configured Dropbox to use it. However: is there an easy way to switch all my traffic to the socks server? [21:30] As in 3G internet [21:30] eaerth1: and then try mount -tntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/... [21:30] ActionParsnip, the entry for cd in fstab looks like this: /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0700,dmode=0700 0 0 and msg: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount [21:30] kpoman: so well.. but if can ssh in, you can now view the logs, too, and find waht goes rung, and also can configure grub to boot safemode, though then ssh isn't up.. this also needs to be altered [21:30] dalton2345: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:30] rww: i will download the ISO, and do a clean install, do u like it? [21:31] rww: do you like 10.10 [21:31] dail34: sweet. There's a gnome setting YMMV, I believe [21:31] spanda: ah, the first one i don't think worked as it isn't recognizing -tvfat as a command [21:31] zaxonspox: then run: sudo mount /media/cdrom0 [21:31] How do i make top display only zombie processes [21:32] eaerth1: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/... ? [21:32] hey did they fix gnome-do docky interface yet in 10.10? [21:32] I'm using the old version, Is it safe to upgrade yet? [21:33] Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording? [21:33] dalton2345: I haven't used 10.10 much. 10.04 (lucid) is good, though. [21:33] hey guys, why would my video playback be pausing all the time with 10.10? [21:33] dail34: system|preferences|network proxy [21:33] @spanda Yes, you're right, under System>Network Proxy [21:33] It's playing off a RAID-5 that's also torrenting but this wasn't happening with 10.04 [21:33] kpoman: which distro is that box running ? [21:33] PeterNL: mplayer? [21:33] ha, yes. Thanks so much! I was getting rather bogged down with SSH_VPN/openvpn servers/VPN whatnot. [21:34] fogobogo: how do I do that with mplayer?

[21:38] Sean93, opps [21:38] Starn: 10Gb for / is fine [21:39] eaerth1: have a fiddle with the mount options -- you probably need -o rw, user [21:39] Sean93, try #winehq * [21:39] Starn: the rest for /home with 2xRAM for swap unless you have more than 2Gb in which case make swap 1xRAM [21:39] How can I change the settings so that I get a generic window manager? I don't care if it's compiz or not, anything is better then this. [21:39] actionparsnip alright sounds good enough for me. that is about how much i used with windows 7. before my hd got wiped now i'm on vista :( [21:39] spanda: how do i do that? and how do i achieve -o rw, user? [21:39] ActionParsnip: i have 1gb ram. [21:40] Starn: then 2Gb for swap [21:40] eaerth1: tute at http://my.opera.com/lounge/forums/topic.dml?id=83440 [21:40] thanks [21:40] kpoman:if you say frezing is a problem, I'd tip xserver or full disk, the later you can easily check.. and pull the logs else it's a walk in the dark [21:40] ActionParsnip: alright thanks man! so 12gb total for ubuntu 10 for OS and stuff 2 for swap. sound good? [21:40] ActionParsnip, do you know, if its any performance loss if you make the swap far greater than your physical ram? [21:41] spanda: if it means anything, i installed ntfs configuration tool and that doesn't help either when i enable read/write... [21:41] Starn: sure if 2Gb for your user data is enough. You can probably get away with 6Gb for / [21:41] hyperstream: in servers more swap is better [21:41] abehad701: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329192&highlight=trident [21:41] ActionParsnip, thanks [21:42] eaerth1: did u mount the drive as ntfs? i.e. you typed mount -t ntfs ? [21:42] or did u type -tvfat ? [21:42] Guys! [21:42] ActionParsnip: thanks. i'll setup ubuntu when windows is done updating.. know windows this will take a life time ;P [21:42] DasEi: what do you mean by xserver or fulldisk ? i dont u nderstand [21:42] Can anyone help me to start lxde? :-) [21:43] does anyone know if iplist does its own automatic updates or if the updates done in the IPBlock front end are special code in the front end? [21:43] spanda: yes, i typed the second command you sent me, -t ntfs or whatever. [21:43] I installed Ubuntu 6.06.2 [21:43] spanda: since few distros ntfs is mostly registered without t-option in default [21:43] But there is no GUI :-( [21:43] kpoman: if that box freezes at bootup, there must be a reason.. [21:43] hi i am trying to remove emacs23 and when i do apt-get installs emacs22 ... how can i make emacs23 get fully removed? [21:43] How to start any gui there? [21:43] Chiz: that is very old and not supported any more [21:44] eaerth1: oh, ok, ntfs writeability used not to be supported. think there's something you can do with ntfs-3g [21:44] Chiz: use a newer distro, that's eof [21:44] !lucid [21:44] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [21:44] DasEi: see, the machine boots, then I am able to ping it... then I log into it ... then about 20seconds, it freezes, dont ping it anymore, and there (2500km from here) nothing does nothing [21:44] guntbert, but 10th version is to cool for my PC = (( [21:44] spanda: yeah, that one was the first thing i tried originally and it worked but i tried it again recently and it's mounting but not letting me write. [21:45] chiz: try something lightweight like puppy [21:45] hi [21:45] or damn small linux [21:45] kpoman: if you said, it took someone 2 h to setup ssh in safemode, could better save data and do a fresh, headless install then [21:46] thanks [21:46] help with p2p online vieso install to watch caves game? [21:46] :) [21:46] DasEi: so i am able to ping, ssh to it ... then some seconds later, it freezes. so i think it is something autostarted on it ... i thought it was the x server, so i moved gdm.conf to gdm.conf.bkp [21:46] http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=93085&part=sports [21:47] or any other way to get it to work thanks [21:47] kpoman: oo, could have removed gdm && xorg, they sounds scary to me [21:47] that* [21:47] how do i reconfigure Nautilus...it's not showing me files in the views [21:47] Chiz: specs of the box ? [21:48] how can i force emacs to get removed and not install emacs23? [21:49] lontra: uhm.. what? [21:49] * spanda returns from google [21:49] eaerth1: http://www.fslog.com/2006/11/29/mount-ntfs-filesystem-readwrite-on-ubuntu/ [21:49] fogobogo: it seems that emacs is totally borked on my system. if i try to remove emacs23, apt-get installs emacs22, if i then remove emacs22, it installs emacs23, now it's trying to install emacs-snapshot! [21:49] I have windows XP as a duel boot right now but i never use it since i changed to ubuntu about a week ago. should i delete it and run it in virtualbox if i need it? are there any benefits to duel boot/virtualbox [21:49] kpoman: or if saving is a problem, set up a persistent live usb with ssh enabled, put it over, and stick it in, if data saving/fresh installisn't fine [21:50] eaerth1: change last command to just mount -a [21:50] lontra: lol [21:50] is there a way to send some text to a terminal running in another process? perhaps having the PID??? [21:50] fogobogo: yup :) [21:50] k, thanks [21:50] Sean93, dual boot, is what most users would use when they want to game, running the game natively in windows = best result, you can how ever install a windows xp inside of ubuntu using virtual box, and attempt to game that way :) [21:50] lontra: how do you remove [21:51] fogobogo: you know i think i finally got it ... i had to remove auctex first [21:51] interesting dependecy handling [21:51] how do you make networking and networkmanager not load on startup? [21:51] spanda: you saw, that that article was very old? [21:51] my windows partition is 900GB and my ubuntu is 100GB. How can i change it so it is the other way around? [21:52] any one? [21:52] with help on p2p online viedo to watch a game? [21:52] hi [21:52] Sean93, use personally would use a partitioning software (windows based) partition magic or something of the sorts [21:52] hi [21:53] Gparted does a good work === gilaniali_ is now known as gilaniali [21:53] what would happen if i used Gparted in ubuntu? [21:53] Sean93, if you dont use windows, just redo both os's perhaps? (format the drive) [21:53] guntbert: yah don't have a newwer link ... [21:53] Sean93, im not sure it can be used to resize partitions. [21:53] / [21:53] sean93: it will work [21:53] DasEi: you need to understand that i am not behind the machine. it is 2500km from here. i dont have anybody there to help doing stuff. i only have an ssh right now [21:53] I use it all the time to resize partitions... [21:54] ka1ser, there we go :) [21:54] =) [21:54] DasEi: so i want to disable everything but ssh and some basic stuff. where does ubuntu have the autostarted stuff ? this is the question. [21:54] anyone know how to make networking and networkmanger not load on startup and make it so I have to manually start them? [21:54] spanda: I didn't follow the conversation, but wouldn't be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions more appropriate? [21:55] DasEi: i know of gentoo. you have /etc/runlevels/xyz and you link start script stuff to the desired runlevel [21:55] Hello yall. (ubuntu 10.04 & Audacity 1.3.12) I use GV a lot and need to record some of the calls I make. How can I record these calls? so far I either record mic input or spkrs out, but not both. how can I record both?? TIA! [21:55] kpoman: so least pulled the logs ? I could ssh in, but that's your own risk and I won't gurantee damage isn't bader afterwards, a usb image is only 1 gb [21:55] Do you guys use Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [21:55] runlevels | kpoman [21:55] guntbert: good suggestion! [21:55] spanda: :) [21:56] DasEi: i have the logs yes, from my current session and maybe some older stuff [21:56] eaerth: what guntbert said ;-) [21:56] kpoman: from your questions, that's nothing I can explain so fast.. see above for the ubuntu structure === KatherineD is now known as Guest61166 [21:56] DasEi: these are the files I do have by now: http://pastebin.com/4F3EdVHh [21:57] fgnfgnry: this channel is for ubuntu support mainly, kubuntu support in #kubuntu [21:57] kkk === Guest61166 is now known as KatherineD [21:57] DasEi: but i dont know **when** it freezes. i just know it freezes about 30 seconds **after** launching ssh and networking [21:57] DasEi: i guessed it was X, but apparently not (i renamed gdm to take rid of X) [21:58] kpoman: that's a ls -l of the logdir, least get dmesg as textfile and the syslog.. really, that's not a funny idea in this way [21:58] vdubhack: I haven't tried but perhaps update-rc.d -f networking && update-rc.d network-manager could work, the njust start them with sudo service network start and sudo service network-manager start [21:58] hi [21:58] update-rc.d -f network-manager I meant [21:58] any online [21:59] kpoman: and yo say it freezes every 20 seconds.. and you do some stuff I really can't advise, like renaming conffiles "in the wilde n dark".. that will only bork more [22:00] How can I tell what port I should use if I try to connect with Filezilla to my VPS via SFTP? [22:00] via SSH* [22:00] Zol: 22 [22:00] what should i use to stream files (including mkv) to my xbox 360 [22:00] DasEi: see here the last lines before freeze from messages: [22:00] llutz: thanks! [22:00] ka1ser: Thanks :) I will try that [22:01] kpoman: the only thing I can offer then is sshing myself, but after such approaches.. if you had somebody bringing you there, maybe saving of data and pop in a cd and do fresh install is the only right way then [22:01] DasEi: see here the last lines before freeze; you may see there is nothing special about them: http://pastebin.com/FXRgkt7h [22:01] vdubhack: np... if somethings goes wrong you can reinstall it with update-rc.d networking defaults and update-rc.d network-manager [22:01] Zol: sftp is basically ssh, so its using ssh-prt 22 [22:02] DasEi: i think it is related to some acpi / pm / whatever [22:02] DasEi: by now i would look at what autostarts, and disable most of that === jason is now known as Guest86937 [22:02] ka1ser: thanks :) wasnt as easy to find on google for some reason :P [22:03] kpoman: which can't be undestood in half an hour, coming from the old runlevel thing, it's handled by the scripts in /etc/init, AND the old rc.d-system [22:05] DasEi: i do understand that scripts are added to some folder/runlevel, and based on dependencies or rules they are started. i suppose there is a way to list those services and remove some. for example, remove apache [22:05] kpoman: in short, acpi is a bios related thing ubuntu on older machines handles succesfullitself. on meerkat graphics are often a problem, especially after dist-upgrades, and moving the config is not the way to a clean system, you would have to purge the whole trouble-causing packet(s) then) [22:05] DasEi, you can configure the startup process with this package, sysv-rc-conf [22:05] what should i use to stream files (including mkv) to my xbox 360 === vxcvxcv is now known as DaZ [22:06] install it using synaptic and run in a terminal "sudo sysv-rc-conf" [22:06] Any ideas on what would be the eaiest way to have somethign read what is comming in from a serial port do so simple manipulation and send it off to a speicfic ip/port? [22:06] vdubhack: ;) [22:06] is KDE better than GNOME? [22:06] sebikul: could you tell kpoman, then ? it's a remote ssh'd machine with some manually killed configs, which tends to freeze [22:06] DasEi: yes it was a quick and dirty fix to discard having freezex because of gdm / X [22:07] spanda: wow, dude... this is... wow, yeah, i'm about to make smashes all over the place. [22:07] spanda: it's still not letting me create a directory, transfer files, nothing... wtf... [22:07] how do I list what gems are installed [22:07] DasEi: it freezes spontaneously after some seconds. how do i, for example, disable network manager, apache, etc... from being autostarted ? [22:07] kopman, run this command, "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf & sudo sysv-rc-conf" [22:07] fgnfgnry: yes/no/maybe [22:08] you will be able tu manage the startup ising it [22:08] sebikul: let me try it out [22:08] sebikul: remember I only have command line here right ? [22:08] * DasEi off for food [22:08] Hello there. [22:08] yes, it has no gui [22:08] sebikul: cool it is curses based [22:09] Where are group passwords stored if "x" is listed as the password in /etc/group and there is no gshadow file? Its a bonus question for class, we are using SUSE 10. [22:09] I'm still having fairly frequent crashes [22:09] Fletchs: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. [22:09] Fletchs: #ubuntu-offtopic or a SuSe support channel would be more appropriate. [22:10] sebikul: a lot of them are marked on 5 runlevels ! [22:10] sebikul: how is that possible ? [22:10] Hello, I'd like help compiling an open source C++ application which has thus far only been compiled for Windows and Mac, and then hopefully to make a deb of it to share. It has a file 'lpub.qrc' which I think means I have to use qmake, so I have installed qmake and qt4 development files along with g++. I try running 'qmake -project', 'qmake -makefile' and then 'make' but I keep getting errors during the make. I managed to bl [22:10] under my way past one make error by commenting out the line it complained about, but now I've run into another for which the solution is a lot less common-sense and a lot more actual know-how, which I lack. Can anyone here help? [22:10] Pici: Does ubuntu use a gshadow file? [22:10] kpoman, i have no idea, it depends on the process. if you are sure you can disable it just untick in the 5 runlevels [22:10] !runlevel > kpoman [22:10] kpoman, please see my private message [22:10] Alright, I just setup Ubuntu 10 server and opted for an encrypted LVM volume and generated a huge 50char keyphrase for it. However, I did not realize I would have to enter the keyphrase at console everytime I reboot the box. [22:11] Is there a way to automate that procedure? [22:11] does anyone know how to make a backup of a multisession disk that may have apple HFS partition? Preferably from the command line. [22:11] disk=cdrom [22:11] sebikul: i got this: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:11] sebikul: does that mean this tool is obsolete ? [22:11] will dd read multisession cds? [22:12] kpoman, no, it's not, i am currently using it in maverick, you can work with it, just disable the processes that you don't need [22:12] slm [22:12] hey guys, where can I find keyboard configuration for gnome? some of my keys don't work correctly [22:13] sebikul: dasei: i am disabling everyhtin apm / acpi related [22:13] how do i disable 80211Q vlans on the kernal [22:13] soid: System-Preferences-Keyboard [22:13] what should i use to stream files (including mkv) to my xbox 360?? [22:13] does anyone know how to create an iso out of a multisession cd? [22:14] danfox: it's not enough. may be there is any confing file? [22:14] Sean93, check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Media [22:14] Sean93, ushare - from a quick google search [22:14] Where are group passwords stored if "x" is listed as the password in /etc/group and there is no gshadow file? Its a bonus question for class. [22:15] soid: I don't know about config files, what language is your keyboard layout for and is it proven to fully work? [22:15] Sean93, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799048 second post, actually says you cant stream MKV because it isnt one of the xbox 360's support formats? [22:15] Does anyone know if a Ralink 3060 chipset will work with 10.10? I've installed the driver from Ralink, the device shows up yet no wireless networks are shown. [22:15] sebikul: how do i save do i just quit ? [22:16] kpoman, it's saved in rt, just press "q" to exit and return to command line [22:16] hyperstream, you can do a rt conversion [22:16] danfox: layouts work correctly. tab switching doesn't work using control+pageup/down [22:16] sebikul: is there a way to auto-fsck if necessary ? [22:17] soid: on any particular app or all? [22:17] sebikul: what i want is to be able to have only a online box with ssh at least [22:17] kpoman, as far as i know it's done automatically at startup after x starts, i dont know how many exactly [22:18] anyone used passenger before? [22:18] danfox: in gnome-terminal, gedit it doesn't work. but in firefox it's ok [22:18] sebikul: after kernel starts [22:18] danfox: I think it depends on gnome configuration [22:19] danfox: firefox seems to fix it by itself [22:19] sooo... is there a way to send some text to a terminal running in another process? perhaps having the PID??? [22:19] sebikul: ok one last thing: where do I setup network interfaces ? (i dont want to use networking manager!) [22:19] soid: Yeah, Firefox has separate settings. In that case I can't help you, I'm not fully versed in the way the gnome config files work. [22:19] sebikul: basically i need one eth0, with an alias eth0:1 [22:20] sebikul: in /etc/network/interfaces [22:20] sebikul: where is the correct place to set ip for eth0 and eth0:! ? [22:20] sorry... kpoman [22:20] kpoman, no idea how to setup network interfaces, maybe you can look at the ubuntu docs, there must be something there [22:20] hey guys, working on a full disk encryption and going through alot of information. I was wondering if anyone knew what the actual difference between the automatic (IMHO inflexible) Alternate-CD crypto setup and creating it manully with LVM/LUKS [22:20] danfox: may be you know what could I do next? debug or something?

Can anyone here help? [22:22] sebikul: do you know what should be the syntax in setting up eth0 and also an alias eth0:1 ? [22:22] soid: have you checked your keyboard shortcuts in System-Preferences? They may be set wrong? [22:23] danfox, you need to check which libraries the soft is using and install them [22:23] Guys who's here proficient in gnome/X11 config files especially regarding keyboard settings?

Looking for the most secure full disk encryption method. [22:23] kpoman, no, sorry, no idea [22:23] sebikul: It's not a dependancy issue I have here, it appears to be internal to the code.

[22:26] danfox: hmmm.. can't find settings regarding tab switching in Keyboard Shortcuts [22:26] sebikul: besides, if it's already been compiled for Mac, surely that's close-enough related to Unix and Linux to work with only minor tweaks? [22:26] soid: I don't know then. [22:27] sebikul: or am I being too optimistic? :-P [22:27] danfox: found it in gnome-terminal settings. it's ok [22:27] soid_, what are you trying to do? [22:28] danfox: I've fixed it!! [22:28] danfox, the best thing to do is contact the developer to get his help, he is the one who knows most about the code [22:28] soid: well done :-) [22:28] sebikul: control+pageUp/down didn't work for tab switching [22:28] sebikul: fair do's.

I would prefer to have openssh do the same (on a seperate instance that is already setup), however i'm not sure how i could use username/password from mysql and map to a unix user account userid; ive attempted [22:40] to use nss-mysql which is functional although id prefer to keep these users isolated to only sshd and ftpd; another solution would be preventing users from nss mysql logon to all services except sshd/vsftpd (maybe using selinux?)... any suggestions?

I'm pulling my laptop out right now to try it. Praxi, I'm not sure what !grub2 means. I'm a dope. [22:52] perhaps mvblair doesn't have any grub at all. [22:52] it look's like it's reading apache2.conf [22:52] erm [22:52] mvblair just type !grub2 [22:52] !grub2 [22:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

[22:53] when I was really meaning to read apache2.conf :) [22:53] brandon_, less /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [22:53] mvblair: what did you do to your grub? did you misconfigure it, or did you install a operating system which doesn't respect foreign bootloaders/MBRs? [22:53] i just setup a centos vm and everything is mixed up again (uses httpd.conf rather than apache2.conf) o.0 [22:54] brandon_, but you don't need to change that file [22:54] apache2 -V isn't it? to see what your conf file is? [22:54] Siana, I tried to update to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.04. Now I've got this problem where I can't get anywhere. My computer logo comes on, the Ubuntu logo comes on, and then I go to a black screen. :-( [22:54] It is apache2.conf that's the main conf file [22:54] what do i need to edit to allow PHP? [22:55] brandon_, ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and check whether php5.conf and php5.load show up [22:55] only php5.load [22:55] no php5.conf [22:55] mvblair: ah great so grub works. wonder which is it though :) [22:55] is there a way to launch the gnome control center from the command line? ie - what's its executable? [22:56] and if someone could inform me as to how to find an applications executable i'd greatly appreciate it [22:56] gnome-control-center [22:56] oh no there both there. [22:56] etheretic: Figured out that it didn't remove .evolution/ so removed that. Will try reconfigure.

[22:56] Siana, does it matter what version it is? Are there different commands to open it or something? [22:56] jatt: thanks! [22:56] brandon_, isn't that annoying? see http://www.ben.io/wordpress/?p=129 [22:56] DrDamnit: can't hurt. [22:57] .. [22:57] It disabled modphp [22:57] uhm i don't remember :) but i suppose grub1 and grub2 are different. :) depending on how you upgraded, you might be stuck with grub1 (should be upped to grub2) or you may have grub2. [22:57] brandon_, sudo a2enmod php5 [22:57] Okay.. [22:58] amd restart apache2 finally after the surgery :) [22:58] i did that command one mroe time [22:58] more * [22:58] nope still want's ask's me if i wan't to dl index.php [22:59] hey i have kinda a noob question. well two, 1 when you delete a partion with gparted does that reduce the physical size of the hd or no? 2 does creating a new partion table reduce the size of the hd? [22:59] it still asks me * [22:59] tman: no a 80gb hdd is always gonna be a 80gb unless sectors get nuked [23:00] anyone use banshee? [23:00] alright so if i create a new partion table and that wipes my partions that is not gonna reduce the size at all. is that right? [23:00] !anyone | tensorpudding [23:00] tensorpudding: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

Now I've got a bunch of linux boxen in my house, but none of these work... are there fun games like this for Ubuntu? Any favorites? [23:19] xptical: Can't you click on the title bar to move it to another work space? [23:20] xptical: Another option is to make it show on all desktops, move to the one you want, and then show only on that desktop. [23:20] It isn't a workspace problem. I have two monitors each with their own virtual desktops [23:20] wad: Starcraft in TCP/IP LAN mode is fine. [23:20] xptical: So are they linked? [23:20] nvm... I just found a program to do that... I just had to build it myself... [23:21] xptical: Or 2 completely seperate ie.. you can log out of one and the other stays logged in.

[23:23] Diamondcite, wait, what? It's a Windows game. Does it work under wine or something like that? [23:24] hello [23:24] is there anything like restore point for windows in ubuntu (10.04)?? IA! [23:25] Why does flash eat my CPU? [23:25] in a persistent usb, is it possible to resize the /cdrom/ directory? [23:25] wad: yes it does work under wine.. Most games should work under wine. I know for a fact that Starcraft and Warcraft III work under wine with multi player.. since I did it last month between linux and a windows computer. [23:25] aeon-ltd, how to solve? [23:26] Diamondcite, Ah, cool! Time to get wine going! [23:26] On Ubuntu 10.10, I cannot play most audio/video files in Totem or Rhythmbox when a USB device is plugged in. Can anyone confirm this problem? More importantly, is anyone aware of a fix for it? [23:26] nimbiotics: by default, no. What are you trying to revert? [23:26] nimbiotics: there's something like Time Machine for linux: timevault [23:26] wad: One more thing.. be sure to be using the wine from ppa, not the one that comes with ubuntu by default. [23:27] Diamondcite, Ah, okay. Is something wrong with the Ubuntu wine? [23:27] Hi! [23:27] Maahes_: That isn't what he was asking about. [23:27] Since you're all awake here......... I was wondering.....is there some kind of USBspy-program/script to see what happens when a device boots? [23:28] wad: Not really.. just.. it only updates once every six months.. compared to then once a month release rate... [23:28] I figured making snapshots of the whole disk sufficed to work as a restore point [23:28] I found such tool for Windows, but can't use it since I'm on x86_64 arch. [23:28] ¿cómo entro a un canal en español? [23:28] I haven't tested it in Wine either. [23:28] Umeaboy: check out the logs. kern.log, dmesg, etc. [23:28] They give pretty detailed information [23:28] malobueno: Try #ubuntu-es [23:29] what is an Intel Core i3 considered? one program said amd64 [23:29] Maahes_: It's for a closed source device.

The version of Wine present in the default repos is updated wheneever the next stable Ubuntu-ized version is finished. While it lags behind the release schedule of WINE in the PPA, it is usually more stable for most users, and therefore recommended unless you need a feature not present in the current maintained version.

[23:41] zealiod: without abstracting the network (e.g. implementing a proxy network to tie in all the connections), I don't think so. Try #ubuntu-server, someone may have some deft trick.
