[00:00] I can't get php to work on Ubuntu Server. I've already tried these steps(after fresh install of server): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/installing-php5-and-apache-on-ubuntu/ [00:00] fognrain: Which OS is going to be your guest? [00:00] html works, but not php [00:01] a variety, XP, Vista and Ubuntu [00:01] adabo, sudo apt-get install php5 php5-mysql [00:02] mkhanyisi: ok [00:02] fognrain: So something like samba should work for you. [00:02] mkhanyisi: Does ubuntu auto cofigure apache's configuration to activate PHP? [00:03] Diamondcite, i think so [00:03] yes [00:03] question where is the tmp foldier on ubuntu linux? Keep in mind this pc is dual boot as wll..When i goto places file system tmp its not there [00:03] "php5 is alread the newest version" "php5-mysql is already the newest version" [00:03] Diamondcite, i think the gymnastics of editting apache files are on the low [00:03] determinology: Try /tmp /var/tmp ~/tmp [00:04] When I type php code into index.html, the page is blank [00:04] [00:04] hello... um, how do i copy a directory when the "sudo cp" command says "ommiting directory " ? [00:04] adabo: Shouldn't php files end in .php ? [00:04] !lamp | adabo [00:04] adabo: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:04] adabo: read the instructions there and follow the troubleshooting steps [00:04] Diamondcite thanks [00:04] Nach0z: cp -r from_dir to_dir [00:04] kthx [00:05] jrib: Good idea. Thanks [00:05] Diamondcite: You can run php in html [00:05] adabo: php won't get interpreted in files ending in .html by default if that's what you are doing (I believe) [00:05] adabo, to rename index.html to adabo.php [00:05] adabo, you have to tell apache what file extensions you want to process as php [00:05] adabo then: http://localhost/adabo.php [00:06] jrib, mkhanyisi, UnholyTerror: Ok. [00:06] Didn't think of that [00:06] part [00:07] adabo, but you are right, you can embed php in .html files [00:07] adobe, /etc/apache2 [00:07] UnholyTerror, its adabo , not acrobat [00:07] mkhanyisi: Though I'm sure it is a setting in the config. I totally overlooked that. [00:08] Thank's for the heads up guys. [00:09] hi [00:10] oops! [00:10] mkhanyisi: You were right. I renamed it to adabo.php and added it to the address bar and it loaded fine: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1978/ss20101028011018.png [00:10] you been in secret talks UnholyTerror ! [00:10] Still should load from html though :( [00:11] adabo: why do you want to use php in files ending in html out of curiousity? [00:11] adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2 [00:11] I have no idea. I suspect because I am following directions from another user. [00:12] adabo: I would just leave it be and use .php for php to be honest [00:12] UnholyTerror: Ok. I'll look into that. [00:12] Im using samba on my ubuntu desktop so I can share files between windows and ubuntu...but now I have some rar files in an folder ... and when I try to unzip them with winrar in windows I get the error message :"access denied"..why is that :O? (I still can open them up with winrar and drag/drop or extract) [00:12] in that folder* [00:12] adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2/mods_enabled [00:12] f_mulder: so windows CAN read from that file? [00:12] jrib: Ok. I suppose you are right. I'm new to this as you can tell [00:13] UnholyTerror: Now yo ulost me [00:14] Help! This morning my wireless card didn't come on and it won't get detected. How do i fix it? [00:15] It was working last night just fine [00:15] adabo, AddHandler directive in /etc/apache2/mods_enabled/php5_conf [00:15] but this morning it decided to pack up and die. [00:16] my config on this laptop is different than my server. [00:16] sorry [00:16] UnholyTerror: Ok. I'm with you so far. I think [00:16] ilyekkakai: So you don't see a way to enable it from network manager?(right click) [00:16] guys, how do i disable udev on startup ? [00:17] hi there what application is best to rip music from my cd collection to mp3? [00:17] or maybe flac [00:17] default looks like it sends .phtml through PHP. [00:17] BobSapp: k3b is pretty good for a GUI to rip with. [00:17] I used to use grip [00:17] Diamondcite, it doesn't even show up any more. It is as though it is turned off - but the wireless switch on the laptop is on [00:17] i suppose k3b wont hurt since i have kde libs anyway [00:18] how do I tell what my apache user is? [00:18] Sethandler [00:18] ilyekkakai: I don't suppose a complete shutdown and startup works either? [00:18] thanks Diamondcite [00:18] Diamondcite, I tried restarting, shutting down, taking out the battery... [00:18] BobSapp: I'm too used to KDE apps, so I'm sorry if it's a burden to intsll that much x.x [00:18] adabo, SetHandler application/x-httpd-php [00:19] Diamondcite: nah its cool i have some other kde apps anyway [00:19] ilyekkakai: I can't be of too much help at the moment.. if it doesn't show up on lspci or lsusb I have no idea at the moment. [00:19] if I'm trying to chown a directory for apache, how do I know what user to chown to? [00:19] Time to dinner! === NG_ is now known as ng_ [00:20] Praxi, ubuntu and debian let the apache2 service run as www-data [00:20] awesome thanks mbroeker [00:20] Praxi, but never ever chown the webroot, eg /var/www to www-data:www-data [00:20] UnholyTerror: Yes I have the same line of code as that [00:20] Diamondcite, it doesn't show up if I ls PCI or USB [00:20] adabo, you can alter that line to say I think. [00:21] Praxi, people from the internet do NOT need writeaccess to your files or your setup is wrong :) [00:21] UnholyTerror: Oh I see. Well if breaks, we'll find out :D [00:21] Does this look correct ? sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /apps [00:22] it's a pattern match... but will send everything .php .php3 .phtml .html through PHP whether there is PHP code in it or not. [00:22] I'm getting a permissions problem, but only to a sub directory, I copied that sub directory from my user directory, I assume it took its permissions with it [00:22] Praxi, give write-access to files only when it is necessary. eg, an sqllite database file must be writable, other things not [00:23] my website can't even read the directory [00:23] Help my wireless card in laptop decided to die this morning.The wireless switch on the laptop is on... It refuses to show up in lspci and it was working fine last night. can anyone help get it working again? [00:23] Praxi, nope [00:23] I did a chmod -R 755 on the directory, the problem didn't change [00:24] who is the boss? [00:24] so when I copied it, it inherited the parent permissions of its new location? Is that right UnholyTerror ? Thanks! [00:24] you need a Alias /apps /apps/ ... entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d/apps.conf [00:24] must be user-group that server is running as or at least be able to be read by 'others' [00:24] still doesn't fix the problem, but helps me out hehe [00:24] Praxi, ^^^ [00:24] it should have kept the original permissions [00:25] what are the perms? [00:25] Sorry total linux newbie, can I check that with chmod? [00:25] ls -l /path/to/file [00:26] They are drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2010-10-27 09:43 Snorby [00:26] oh wait thats to a sub folder [00:26] guys, what could be the problem. If i have my IR receiver in the box, ubuntu waits good 3 minutes before startung gdm. If I remove it, it starts perfectly fine ? [00:27] ^USB ir receiver [00:27] its trying to find a network over IR? :) no clue hehe [00:28] damn... ok, then different question . :) how do i disable udev on boot (i think it has problems) [00:29] mbroeker: looking at your suggestion, is that also how I shorten the name? currently where I buried the app /var/www/apps/Snorby/public is going to make a really annoying URL, will your suggestion allow me to make it easier? [00:29] Praxi, chown user:group /path/to/file [00:29] did anybody try to use a sidewinder joystick with force feedback? [00:30] i just realized that i have one in my closet for several years without touching it [00:31] where is the grub menu.lst file on ubuntu? [00:31] \/boot === ng_ is now known as NG_ [00:32] I've installed ubuntu 10.10 w/USB drive on my Dell T3500 workstation at school. I had to enable "noacpi" option for the usb install to work. Now when trying to boot from the hard drive ubuntu drops into a shell (Busy Box v1.15.3). Said "Gave up waiting for root device". I'm assuming I need to do something with the "noacpi" option somewhere but I'm not sure where to go or how to search for this. [00:32] /boot === NG_ is now known as ng_ [00:33] grub [00:33] /boot/grub? [00:33] What does this error mean when I run a sh? Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FrontStruct. [00:35] Diamondcite, yes it can reed the .zip/.rar file ... I can open it with winrar and extract .. but if I just right click on it and then choose "Extract here" then I don't have the permissions :( [00:35] is there an autoCAD program for linux? [00:36] hi all just popped in to get suggestions on live/hot disk imaging tools for a ubuntu server. Any suggestions [00:36] f_mulder: Sounds like it's a read only share.. did you make it writeable in samba? [00:36] #ola [00:36] i'd like to be able to use the G buttons along with the M buttons, and the applets, for the logitech G510. how can i do this? [00:36] hello my friendlys === ng_ is now known as NG_ [00:37] poincare101, no menu.lst in latest ubuntus [00:37] which one are you using? [00:38] UnholyTerror: what is the equivalent, I am using 10.10 [00:38] tim : http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html [00:38] it will be simpler for me to tell you to google grub2 tutorial [00:38] is that something you known of, or did you just google it? [00:39] poincare101, what did you want to do? [00:39] UnholyTerror: Let me tell you what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to get Windows on top of my list so that I don't have to hit the down key several times when I have to boot windows [00:39] hey all [00:39] easy [00:40] UnholyTerror: how? [00:40] poincare101, go into /etc/grub.d folder [00:40] may i ask a question bout ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix ? [00:40] anyone know if its possible to make downloads go to RAM until completed, to allow the HDD to spin down ? [00:41] King_Troopa, Just create a ram drive, and set that as your download directory [00:41] King_Troopa, then move it somewhere else after the download, manually [00:42] King_Troopa, or, make sure your /tmp directory is mounted on a ram drive and wait until firefox has fully downloaded it before telling it where to save the file [00:42] poincare101, ??? [00:42] Diamondcite, yes it's writeable [00:42] major0211, don't ask to ask, just ask [00:43] ah Diamondcite I think I know what the problem is... while adding new folders to my share folder ... they don't become writeabel [00:43] dlyneswork so how do i create a ram drive? is there a package in the Software Center relating to that? [00:43] Diamondcite, can't I manage that somehow so they will automaticly be writeabel as wellP? [00:44] King_Troopa, http://www.google.ca/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=how+do+i+create+a+ram+drive+in+linux%3F&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=d5e9603c0c44c0de [00:44] What's the name of the flash plugin in FF now? [00:44] lol thanks [00:44] yo [00:44] King_Troopa, first hit should help you [00:45] f_mulder: It might have something to do with the umask, but I never had to do such a thing [00:45] poincare101, ??? [00:47] hm okey Diamondcite ...I'll try to set chmod -R as well [00:48] umask ?? [00:48] f_mulder ??? [00:48] dlyneswork the first hit assumes that red hat is being used. does that change anything..? [00:48] blackshirt, I don [00:48] 't know what umask is [00:48] King_Troopa, not really...it's all pretty much linux [00:48] :P [00:48] hallo o.o [00:49] correct, goltoof ...a friend and i both installed the 10.10 onto our netbooks, but his graphic drivers screwed up since he plugged in a second display ... well ... the thing is that he actually has a different gui, he has contextmenus and a better structured start menu .... [00:49] Guest ... hier mir Englisch ^^ [00:49] nur [00:49] umask is for set file mode [00:49] i installed ubuntu studio.. and i was wondering.. since the interface sucked, if i can update the regular ubuntu into it [00:49] ok, lol. i know english [00:49] howdy, anyone know how to get the latest version of empathy in 10.04, on my 10.10 desktop I can link contacts together if they are redundant, this option is not available in empathy on 10.04 [00:50] xD [00:50] Guest: yes [00:50] Hey i got a question [00:50] do I need to use the developer ppa? [00:50] blackshirt, how? [00:50] is there a way to make a sleep of less than 1 second in a bash script??? [00:50] ka1ser: smallest is second [00:50] Why does my computer say ......Deactivating procesess....etc..

[00:52] Why does my computer say ......Deactivating procesess....etc.. [00:52] when i shut down [00:52] i know, but no themes, no my documents or anything... and most of the original ubuntu 10.10 programs aren'T installed. [00:53] because its shutting down, its like fyi only john38 [00:53] ka1ser: the gnu version of sleep apparently allows floating point. Try sleep --help and see if yours does too... [00:54] she_dyed, yeah but on my regular computer it just shuts off without any of those messages [00:54] i want to have a regular copy of ubuntu.. with ubuntu studio in it.... i tried loading ubuntu then updating to ubuntu studio. it only installed core programs.. my mic doesnt work.. and i have to manually add stuff.. and most of the midi stuff doesnt work.. but it works on ubuntu studio... === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:54] she_dyed, does it have to do with under powered systems? [00:54] anyone know of any good flash/swf channels here? [00:54] john38: idk, maybe the splash settings differ? [00:54] anyone using nVidia 160M and having issues with the window borders + compiz? [00:55] if i put the regular ubuntu repos and stuff with the ubuntu studio, would it update to regular? or just add more stuff to the repos without really doing anything? [00:55] just remove ubuntustudio-desktop, and install your favourite DM [00:55] <|GaiJin|> I have an old Medion RAM2010 laptop, with ubuntu 10.04 newly installed on it. BUt I am having problems activating the wlan hardware (Fn+f2) Is there a way one might go around this= [00:55] ok [00:55] <|GaiJin|> ? === levis is now known as Guest2521 [00:56] @Guest: you can mix repository from ubuntu studio or regular gnome ubuntu [00:56] type ifconfig [00:57] does it see the device [00:57] whats the best terminal based irc app?

[00:58] blackshirt: ok, so when i add the repos from the original maverick release, it SHOULD update like the regular one? [00:58] <|GaiJin|> I will try... thanks she_dyed [00:58] gl man [00:58] I'll try them both [00:59] Guest: yes, [00:59] ok jags_ see how they did it in the old days with irssi =) [00:59] awesome. i'll try it. thank you so much! i really enjoy all the features of the regular one.. [00:59] ubuntu studio has almost none of them [01:00] I have a box which I was doing a release upgade via SSH and lost connection. Is it possible to resume the upgrade process still running in th ebackground? I can still SSH into it. Or should I just reboot and see what happens? What's the best recovery method? [01:00] like rhythembox... and other stuff and themes... and evne the "my documents" folder :C [01:00] <|GaiJin|> no luck:(... [01:00] hm I have my umask set to 022 in a folder ... but when I create a new folder in that folder I don't get the write-premissions ... why is that?? [01:01] it isn't css [01:01] pc500 - i would try and resume the upgrade via ssh first. As a general rule its stated that you shouldnt do major upgrades via ssh but this isnt always possible [01:01] Guest50375: make a full backup before you start. Although it's supposed to all work together fine in theory, in practice it might be a huge mess... [01:01] Hello. I'm considering upgrading from Lucid to Maverick using dist upgrade, but is there a way to revert if I encounter problems? [01:01] valium - I tried but apt-get has a lock file still present [01:01] Ghost? [01:01] valium - I can remove it, but I do see the upgrade process running still in ps aux [01:02] (I know it's probably stuck on a plese set something screen) [01:02] Loshki: ok thank you [01:02] pc500 - is it a zombie process [01:02] Loshki: i hope this works.. lol. i do have everything backed up on an external so, here it goes [01:03] is it ok to install ubuntu 32bits on a 64 bits computer with 2GB RAM? or another question.. is it worth to install a 64 bits version on a PC with 2 GB RAM? [01:03] pc500 - you can try and kill the process and then restart it from the beginning [01:03] What's the quick way to move the toolbar icons (x v ^) to the right? I know it has something to do with editing the registry. I would google but I cannot word it well. [01:03] yes, no [01:03] pc500 - do you have physical access to the machine [01:04] Sanky ??? [01:04] valium - says no upgrade avialable [01:04] valium - No, but I do have VNC access to an IP kvm. [01:04] UnholyTerror, this is more a gnome question - the toolbar icons like close, hide, expand :| [01:04] pc500 - ok. Is the server mission critical? [01:04] not really [01:05] pc500: next time start the upgrade at least inside a screen so you can attach later if needed [01:05] I am in Scurry TX, does anyone know of any one close to me that can come give me some help? [01:05] You want a toolbar on the side - drag it over there. [01:05] Cmdr_W_T_Riker - good idea :) [01:05] UnholyTerror, I'm talking about the window.. ones. ugh. the one (currently) to the left of the window icon and title [01:05] closer than the internet? [01:05] pc500 - yeah i agree with Cmdr [01:06] Yes in person [01:06] pc500 - try a reboot and see what comes out the other end [01:06] valium - But at this point I can reboot it I guess and try again, but it migh tbe fubarred [01:06] ok [01:06] I am having issues and need some who can see what I am seeing [01:06] oh... I don't think you can do that. [01:06] UnholyTerror, there was a way, because I did it before [01:06] RoughNeck - what system do you have? [01:06] Ubuntu 10.10 [01:07] ro [01:07] RoughNeck - server or desktop [01:07] desktop [01:07] oh, i understand now... yes you can... in gconf editor [01:07] <[thor]> Sanky: window manager? [01:07] you ccan install teamviewer and I can take a look if you like [01:07] but I don't know what it was. [01:07] [02:07:18] <[thor]> Sanky: window manager? gnome [01:07] I love teamviewer [01:07] uh derp [01:08] pc500 - yeah i use it to support about 300 machines. It rocks [01:08] I wish someone made a good open source tool that does the same thing [01:08] But never mind that, I found it; thanks [01:08] Well there is a problem with that everything I need to do my system shuts off half way through [01:08] so in person would be a lot easier [01:08] valium - It's really good for either having a machine always "phone home" -- or remote 1-of support [01:08] I have a bad motherboard [01:08] my system freezes sometimes and then I haev to restart it [01:08] valium - Or maybe if they had a "host your own" solution I'd lik eit more [01:08] RoughNeck - yeah sounds like motherboard, power supply or ram [01:09] hello. does the ubuntu alternate cd have support for lvm and encryption (like debian has)? [01:09] pc500 - yeah that would be cooler [01:09] no mother board, have already gotten that far on my own [01:09] schoppenhauer: yes [01:09] schoppenhauer: Yes. [01:09] What might cause a laptop to require the shift key to be held down for Linux to function? (at boot-time, when upgrading packages,..) [01:09] RoughNeck - boot your machine with a liive CD and see if you get the same error. The run a memtest [01:09] yes it does [01:09] hello. trying to mount a .bin file in ubuntu. some research says use bchunk. However they all seem to talk abotu a .cue file and I don't have a .cue file. Is it possible to do it without a .cue file? [01:09] spinningcompass, ??? [01:10] spinningcompass - you might have a disk that is not mounting correctly [01:10] sorry i should have sdaid convert [01:10] to a .iso [01:10] Bilz, yes === Krix is now known as Guest94158 [01:10] UnholyTerror: Bear in mind I've been using Linux for 13 years & I've never seen this. :( It boots and runs *if* the shift key is held down. It's not the OS. I *think* it's a hardware glitch. The laptop performs OK but, every so often, it freezes up until you tap the Shift key. [01:10] righto, back to my question. Anyone know of a live imaging solution for linux? [01:10] rww, Jordan_U thanks [01:11] I have Lucid Lynx what could be some reasons why my usb flash drive will no longer accept files from my music folder using 'drag and drop"? [01:11] spinningcompass - are you using grub2. and is it only at boottime? [01:11] <[thor]> Bilz: Brasero should burn .bin files just fine [01:11] weird! probably not an option to replace the keyboard, huh? [01:11] is there a web interface solution to manage and multiple background processes running by multiple web sessions ? [01:11] valium: No, it's at runtime also, but I know where you're going with that. :) [01:11] UnholyTerror: That's a good idea. In the meantime, I've used chewing gum & scotch tape to hold the Shift key down. [01:12] webmin [01:12] valium, what are your needs for imaging [01:12] UnholyTerror: It's alright because I use it as a server (don't laugh, it's a Toshiba NB2305 running as a server) [01:12] how to close gwibber? I'm still getting those "you are authorized by facebook" pop ups all the time and I have given up on solving this problem. >:( [01:12] valium - it told me some shit was curropted -- then I ran dpkg -a -something as it said and it seems ot be continuing where it left off [01:12] [thor], i dont want to burn, i just want to convert to .iso so i can mount it [01:12] I wouldn't laugh... use what you got! [01:12] Anyone know how to find Ubuntu groups in Dallas area? [01:12] !language | pc500 [01:12] pc500: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:12] I use my desktop as a server. [01:12] UnholyTerror: Amen. It was <$300 for a server. It's a bargain. All it needed was some chewing gum :) [01:12] scott_ino - i need to create daily images of mission critical servers that are running mysql, apache and samba [01:13] Bilz, what have you tried? [01:13] valium: ever consideted rsnapshot? [01:13] RoughNeck: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TexasTeam and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DallasTeam [01:13] <[thor]> Bilz: i use Furious ISO Mount for my .bin/iso/nrg mounting needs [01:13] so i removed myself from the sudoers file [01:13] bah i hate this ipod keyboard === Guest10739 is now known as gdoteof_home [01:13] UnholyTerror, I installed bchunk, and now I run bchunk image.bin image.iso, no luck, bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso (even tho .cue doesnt exist) an dno luck [01:13] I know i can boot to single user mode [01:13] ok will look now trhank you [01:14] Cmdr_W_T_Riker - yeah i currently use a script that functions like rsnapshot but it wont grab mysql databases on the fly [01:14] have you tried simply renaming the file to .iso? [01:14] but, I think there is a part of having to mount the drive [01:14] <[thor]> Bilz: https://launchpad.net/furiusisomount/ [01:14] that i can't find a step by step guide on. and i only hvae this machine here [01:14] Cmdr_W_T_Riker - i currently perform a dump of the mysql databse then run rsnapshot [01:15] good news is I have a bowl full of pizza bites [01:15] valium: ok, and dumping your DBs right before your rsync script is not goog enough? [01:15] valium, yeah doing that stuff on the fly is tricky... no really sure the best way t go about that as most of the stuff I know needs an unmounted partition [01:15] mbroeker: you still here? [01:15] scott_ino - yeah clonezilla and partimage will do it if unmounted. Acronis has a product but its pretty pricey [01:15] Bilz, have you tried simply renaming the file to .iso? [01:15] I need some assistance with my usb flash drive I am using Lucid Lynx [01:16] UnholyTerror, i have not [01:16] valium, might have to go that route, is company paying for it ;) [01:16] join #omg!ubuntu! [01:17] try that, then simply mount /folder isofile.iso [01:17] scott_ino - yeah some companies are larger than others though, and I have some charities too that I service. [01:17] sorry still working on my apache problem, got stuck fixing the bosses mac. Anyways, mbroeker suggested "you need a Alias /apps /apps/ ... entry in /etc/apache2/conf.d/apps.conf" was hoping to get a little help with what hes wanting me to do here [01:17] http://codingcactus.info sign up for forums [01:17] http://codingcactus.info sign up for forums [01:17] http://codingcactus.info sign up for forums [01:17] Codingcactus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:18] Praxi, did you try my fix? [01:18] scott_ino - btfs will allow hot imaging but its still in beta i think [01:18] chmod? [01:18] my directory had the same permissions (755) as the directories that were working [01:18] UnholyTerror, didnt work [01:18] valium: One option is using LVM then snapshotting and imaging the snapshot. [01:18] [thor], going to try ur idea [01:19] unless I missed your suggestion UnholyTerror , scrolling back through now [01:19] When the instructions for compiling a program says: mkdir build, cd build, Does that means it is going to be a new folder outside /usr/share/ where all the programs usually are? [01:19] Jordan_U - thats a good idea [01:19] what did you try, Bilz? errors? [01:19] Or do I have to type the path of /usr/shar/build? [01:19] Jordan_U - to be honest i have stuggled with LVM a little [01:20] I have Lucid Lynx what could be some reasons why my flash drive won't let me transfer files from my music folder to my flash drive? [01:20] Jordan_U - i should really sit down and spend some time with it. [01:20] does anyone have a eeepc 1015PEM ? [01:20] ToStItOs: What filesystem? [01:20] Catfish [01:20] Better yet, how do I upgrade a program if it is not in the repository? [01:21] Bilz, what did you try, ? errors? [01:21] I've lost the psk of my wireless connection and I can't access the router to see it, but I have it stored in my ubuntu 10.04, as it appears with wildcards, is it possible to decode in any way? [01:21] thanks everyone! much appreciated! speak with you all again soon! [01:21] I mean, the program is in the repository, but there is a new version, and I want it! [01:21] Jordan_U, Catfish [01:21] !botsnack | for valium [01:21] for valium: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [01:22] Praxi, you don't need the alias if /var/www/apps/*** exists [01:22] renaming to .iso and mounting, unsuccessful i think. [01:22] UnholyTerror, [01:22] could be a dud file i guess [01:22] it does, trying to figure out what I screwed up hehe === Guest10739 is now known as gdoteof_home [01:22] the alias would be nice though to shorten up the URL though [01:22] Jordan_U, Thunar file manager [01:23] Lucuadora : Try updating your repos and see if the newer version is available or not, if still not - you may want to go and check out Ubuntu PPAs or other third-party sites which makes latest apps for ubuntu [01:23] does anyone know if ubuntu 10.10 is using the new broadcom open source drivers? Are they in the mainline kernel? [01:23] ok. So if I removed myself from the sudoers file, and my boot doesn't stop at grub, am I simply SOL? [01:24] Mythmon: No and no. [01:24] tiy neab gdoteof_home there is no countdown at grub even a few seconds [01:24] Need assistance with my usb flash drive I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx [01:24] mbroeker and UnholyTerror heres the actual error in my apache error.log "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/apps/Snorby/public/" [01:24] I am trying to ping a device behind a bridge I have defined on the network - why can't i do this? [01:24] she_dyed: no it doesn't even show [01:24] I receive ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [01:24] gdoteof_home: you could use a live disk/usb and go in a change the sudoers file by hand, assuming you dont have it encrypted. [01:25] gdoteof_home: Hold shift during boot. [01:25] i don't. that makes sense. i don't have one though but can get one tomorrow [01:25] Jordan_U: thanks, trying [01:25] Bilz, error? [01:26] hey ihow can I tell ubuntu to list what's listening on what ports from Terminal? [01:26] i have a problem where my wireless will disconnect from any network (known working) after about a minute. it worked a few days ago. [01:27] Praxi, so your just going to that directory in the browser and that's the error? [01:27] ya [01:27] i am using a broadcom BCM4313 [01:28] trying to pastiey my apache2.conf file, assume I dorked something up in there [01:28] having issues with webcam being nothing but bright green.. has anyone found a solution besides setting LD_PRELOAD (that didnt work for me) [01:28] My flash drive will not let me drag and drop files from music folder any solutions on solving this? I have Lucid lynx [01:28] permissions probably. [01:29] Nach0z: netstat -ntlp [01:29] Hi guys, is there a way to lower a single application's volume? [01:29] Praxi, do you have an index.html (.php) file in there? [01:29] ToStItOs: In thunar, open the the USB drive and right click within the directory, then select "properties". At the bottom right there is an area labeled "Filesystem type:", what does it say is the filesystem type? Or, pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" in a terminal. [01:30] someone in here using rtorrent? I would need some help with a on_finished function...? === moniker is now known as Guest97130 [01:30] Ryaga: Yes, in System > Preferences > Sound. [01:30] hey how do you run a process in the background? im using warty warhog [01:30] hello. iv installed ubuntu netbook on my philco that came with mandriva [01:30] EeveeTrainer, why are you using warty [01:30] EeveeTrainer: screen, nohup or job control in bash [01:31] its very nice, but i couldnt find how to set the touchpado to work scrolling [01:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/521098/ checking if I do [01:31] it would be awesome if i could use double finger [01:31] There should be a 'link' to that in the sound dock thingy really. [01:31] Praxi, ok, hold... [01:31] Sorry, I just don't know enough about this :( [01:31] I'd like to fuck the Glade bitch [01:32] EeveeTrainer: Warty warthog has not been supported for years and is completely insecure.

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. [02:11] hmm sorry wrong factoid [02:11] haha thanks IdleOne was just heading there :) [02:11] easier is to first install windows and then your linux distro [02:11] easy_enemy, its easy, you pop in the cd, and then enter this command: fixmbr [02:11] easy_enemy: you can ask in ##windows about restoring the windows boot loader [02:12] I just answered that! :) [02:13] don't worry, easy_enemy will be back eventually, they all will, lol, it took me a couple tries before I switched to Linux and totally gave up on windows [02:13] only the gaming part... : [02:13] I can't, too much I can't do in linux as well as you can in the windows part =/ [02:13] Me and a friend have been using the same account for a while, but we'd like to split it into two. Can I just copy the hidden directories of the programs i use into my new homefolder? [02:13] anyone can help me get dvd working? it says cant read resource, and I installed libdvdread4 and ran the sh [02:13] w8 so i insert windows xp go to terminal and enter fixmbr?

[02:16] A good alternative is to make a Gparted usb stick.. [02:16] Praxi: Sounds like a typical 'excuse' I would like to hear further details of your issues ^_^ [02:16] easy_enemy: what you need to do is type /join ##windows and ask them how to fix the Windows boot loader. [02:16] there is a Gparted distro which will fit nicely on an usb stick [02:16] ok, show me a good way to manage 200+ windows servers on ubuntu :) [02:17] windows world I can use visionap or royal TS and manage all my servers from one window. [02:17] Praxi, go to windows channel [02:17] lol what for [02:18] he just asked why I can't use a linux distro as my main at work, I told him why :) [02:18] ok, rant away, I am not moderator, its not busy anyway, but I am trying to get Linux help here [02:18] no ranting please and stay on topic [02:19] Praxi: I do use Linux as my main distro as work.. Only things that MUST use windows are done in a VM(such as activeX or windows specific vpns..) [02:20] I tried vmware and the sun product (its name escapes me atm), they have issues if you RDP through them. [02:20] My Linux box won't play dvd, I've been running Ubuntu for couple years and never noticed, cause I usually play dvd's on my debian desktop, but just now I tried to play on my ubuntu laptop, and it says cant read resource, and I followed the instructions to install restricted-extras, but it still doesn't work === Pinako|wet is now known as Pinna [02:20] Praxi: May I PM? [02:20] tried VLC Player maybe compaq ? [02:21] ya of course diamond [02:21] Praxi, yep [02:21] for the fun of it have you tried a different physical dvd drive? [02:21] oh wait this was a laptop wasn't it, hard to get extras [02:21] compaq https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:21] Praxi, nevermind you, but the drive is working [02:22] TeruFSX, I did that stuff, and still [02:22] is it a burned dvd? [02:23] hunab, no, its original [02:23] ok === fcon is now known as fryomi === fryomi is now known as fcon [02:26] hmm I'll try to play a DVD soon; see what happens [02:28] compaq: I have a lot of experience with wierd laser issues on drives. If you think you did all the software parts correctly, that COULD leave a minor issue with the drive. I've had plenty of drives that would read a data CD, audio CD, or data DVD, but not a movie. Doesn't mean its your issue, but its an amazingly easy step to try on a PC :) [02:28] Praxi: Maybe he is just missing something like dvd decryption? [02:28] anyone else running compiz with ATI have really bad vsync issues when moving wobbly windows around? [02:29] could be, but he sounded pretty confident that he did everything right, from VLC player and the Tutorials people linked for him [02:29] Praxi, nevermind you, like I said before [02:29] Praxi, nevermind you, like I said before [02:29] Praxi, http://www.nagios.org/ [02:29] ya got nagios too, like that one :) [02:29] hello all [02:29] little harder to configure though, and doesn't seem to do as much for the actual useage [02:30] anyone still using 10.04? [02:30] I'm trying to figure out how to use socat to connect my terminal to a serial port so that I could type input the serial port (as if you were connected with putty) and then get the response [02:30] andril, sure [02:30] I was starting with someting like this: socat READLINE,history=$HOME/.cmd_history /dev/ttyS0,raw,echo=0,crnl [02:30] cdubya, good me too :) === mike is now known as Guest39491 [02:31] One ? Can you upgrade while being on VNC ? Said I cannot do it over port 22? === Guest39491 is now known as imkindadrunk [02:32] does someone know a simple way to browse windows shares from Unity? [02:32] birdy29: upgrade which? [02:32] birdy29: Upgrades packages or whole distros? [02:33] whole thing. [02:33] birdy29: You really can't get physical access to the machine? [02:33] Nope. [02:33] VM in chicago. [02:34] can't get into the host birdy29 ? [02:34] birdy29: Ouch.. I was going to say you can try to do this over X11 forwarding, but part of the upgrade might bring down the network connection. [02:34] or is it the host your trying to upgrade? [02:34] shit. [02:34] brb. [02:34] What does this error mean when I run a sh? Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FrontStruct. [02:34] Praxi: Seems the box in question is in an inaccessible location by physical means. [02:35] Oblat, what program? [02:35] i get this error after trying to configure ushare "Errors were encountered while processing: ushare" and "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [02:35] ya, if he can't upgrade the guest, maybe he can access the host, and control it locally [02:36] Sean93, looks like you have synaptic open or something similar [02:36] Praxi: It might be a co-located server more than a VM? [02:36] !language | poincare101 [02:36] poincare101: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:36] !language | poincare101 [02:36] compaq: i dont [02:36] poincare101, ??? [02:36] I need to install software on my computer to run my printer. How can I install this software (its from a disk) on Ubuntu? [02:36] UnholyTerror, it's a sh script [02:36] ya could be Diamondcite [02:36] Sean93, oh, nevermind then, maybe you have mixed up distro versions [02:36] Haptic: The CD has linux drivers? [02:37] looks like some variables are not set to what they should be. [02:37] Haptic: You are surs the disk actually has lnux software? that would be odd.. [02:37] im on 10.10 [02:37] !printer [02:37] Haptic: notmally you just conect a printer and use it inmediatly; check if it's supported [02:37] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [02:37] Haptic: Have you tried to see if Ubuntu already supports the printer? Also what might that printer be? [02:37] [02:37] Its a Kodak wireless printer [02:37] UnholyTerror, the script works on another computer so it can't be the script [02:37] how do i backup a file using terminal? [02:37] if only it worked that way... [02:38] Sean93: cp foo foo.backup === Mo_ is now known as Birdy29x [02:39] Okay, I am back now. I was the one talking about upgrading the distro over SSH [02:39] Mind you, it's a VPS, with DMEhosting, if you've ever heard of them. [02:39] poincare101, did you get your grub thing sorted? [02:39] Haptic: Incomplete information.. Linux support could not be verrified. please provide the full model name. === Birdy29x is now known as birdy29 [02:40] Dr_Willis: Won't "cp -a foo foo.backup" be better since it seems timestamps and users? [02:40] Kodak ESP Office 6150 [02:40] Anyone know? [02:40] a patch was just submitted in the git master of radeon Xorg driver, and I need it [02:41] birdy29: I never tried that.. so I cannot answer you.. [02:41] what is the best way of doing so without screwing my system? [02:41] UnholyTerror, so what is the issue and how do I fix it? [02:41] Well, I saw there is step by step for command line upgrade. However, it will upgrade that way but some things do not get configured. [02:42] Diamondcite: ive rarely needed that [02:42] Hi, I am answering questions about unity: http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1418582606/cutting-through-the-noise-about-unity [02:43] birdy29: whats the problem ?? [02:43] hey guys, I removed ALL the operating systems from my laptop but grub is somehow still on my laptop and now I cant install any OS, nor the LiveCD runs!! [02:43] if people come in asking about unity please point them there and we will help answer questions [02:43] Actually, I used to play dvd's, I think it is from doing the system updates which constantly pop up, that my dvd playing is broken [02:43] naiteon: you can use 'dd' to zero the HD and remove grub. (you will need to repartition the HD) but Grub should not be preventing OS's from installing.. and definatly NOT prevent the cd's from booting. [02:44] I have a question about the [02:44] oops [02:44] Let me start over. I have a question about the UI on my ubuntu 10.10 installation with UNR installed, should I ask my question here? [02:44] Dr_Willis: Well i change boot order, and it just ignores any bootable cd, and says : unknown filesystem grub rescue> [02:45] yes, nothing wrong kodeimage [02:45] ok I will try to type dd [02:45] http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/?showfeed=tracker [02:45] it's a start [02:45] Dr_Willis: dd unknown command [02:45] naiteon: sounds luike the cd's you are booting from are bad. or other issue. [02:46] nope, just used them. [02:46] naiteon: dd is a bash command - you may be at the grub shell. [02:46] I want to change the bar at the top, remove the username and the mail icon, I don't use evolution and there's only ever one user automatically logged on. I can't right click the panel, or more exactly when I do nothing happens. How do I customize the top bar in the UI? [02:46] Haptic: You might need to install the c2esp driver to get this printer working at all http://cupsdriverkodak.sourceforge.net/ [02:46] Dr_Willis: i have no operating system, and grub rescue is on and not letting me to do anything! [02:46] Yes -- GOOD question, how can you get rid of those links in the bar? [02:47] how can I loop through a directory in bash checking for particular file types and then take any matches and convert them with ffmpeg? [02:47] naiteon: if you are booting from the CD. Grub wouldent matter. [02:47] thanks, under previous iterations you could right click the panel and click remove from panel [02:47] Yeah, it's not working that way now. [02:47] :( [02:47] I can't figure it out either. [02:48] I can't find a configuration tool in the applications, google all references previous iterations [02:48] how exactly do I install the driver? [02:48] Dr_Willis: it never happened to me before, it simply ignores the live cd, windows 7 installation cd. Weird [02:48] kodemage: the mail icon is indicator-messages, so you can uninstall that to remove the icon (otherwise you would lose your volume applet if you remove it from the panel), the user name applet is indicator-applet-session, which you should be able to right-click and remove (I don't know why you can't) [02:49] what can i do from this grub rescue> to be able to launch my cds? my bios is set properly too [02:49] where do I remove these from? sudo apt-get remove [...]? [02:49] Haptic: I would answer.. but I'm too sleepy.. please ask the question, "How do I install the c2esp driver from source?" [02:49] Zzz [02:49] kodemage: although that will remove the suspend/log out/shutdown applet, but they will be moved to the System menu [02:49] I want to move my boot partition and grub to a new partition on a different disk. How do I do this? [02:49] kodemage: yes, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages; [02:49] jcastro : I will ask you in the link. [02:50] i am watching a video on youtube and analyze the traffic with wireshark. i always thought movies and stuff will be streamed with udp, but i always get tcp packages [02:50] How do I install the c2esp driver from source? [02:50] naiteon, you need to know what the drive designation of the cd player first. [02:50] was the webcam-server package remove from the official repos? [02:50] i am watching a video on youtube and analyze the traffic with wireshark. i always thought movies and stuff will be streamed with udp, but i always get tcp packages. why is that? [02:50] I am trying to set up ushare to stream music to my xbox. should I set the USHARE_IFACE perameter to the wireless device. That is my assumption [02:50] @ trism doing that remove for those bars, would you need to restart? [02:50] now, will this remove all the indicators? for wifi, bluetooth, dropbox, volume, evolution, time, etc. ? [02:50] UnholyTerror: yeah but how? i can only use ls from that grub rescue, and it shows me 5 partitions including the (hd0) [02:51] naiteon, what does BIOS say it is? [02:51] birdy29: you might not need to, at most you'd need to log out then back in [02:51] okay. [02:51] I want to leave a couple indicators, BT, Wifi, etc... [02:51] kodemage: no, indicator-messages is only the mail icon, that has evolution/gwibber/pidgin/liferea, etc [02:51] kk, brb trying [02:52] UnholyTerror: Let me check that out, not sure if it says anything about it you mean the driver name or what? [02:52] instead of HD0... [02:52] trism: that worked. thank you! =D [02:53] kodemage: or you could just remove indicator from the panel and add the notification area [02:53] help [02:53] naiteon, [02:53] xan how do I do that? [02:53] naiteon, [02:53] that is my original question [02:53] right clic> remove [02:53] nope [02:53] naiteon, hold up [02:53] does nothing [02:53] UnholyTerror: oh [02:53] how can I use my 3g modem huawei with ubuntu? [02:53] UnholyTerror: man thank you so much [02:53] UnholyTerror: I saw what I was doing wrong! [02:53] :D [02:53] * naiteon is ashamed [02:53] might be a UNR thing, but I think it's a 10.10 thing [02:54] What would cause this error. [02:54] naiteon, you have the grub prompt up on the machine in question? [02:54] Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and [02:54] include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report. [02:54] E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:54] It went onto upgrade, then gave me this error message: [02:54] Errors were encountered while processing: [02:54] procps [02:54] udev [02:54] birdy29: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:54] xangua: reading [02:54] apparently "webmin" has been obsoleted in Ubuntu [02:55] This error happens upon upgrading 10.4 to 10.10 [02:55] E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:55] are there any other tools that replace it ? [02:55] i feel like those lames now haha [02:55] how to setup nvidia drivers? [02:55] yes, but to give you some info... grub is very powerful. [02:55] is there an apt-get equivalent of the a "yum provides" command? [02:55] argggggg webcam-server package was removed for 10.10?! [02:56] UnholyTerror: Really? I see lots of nice enhancement in this grub2 :) I was just scared it would not let me have my laptop again working properly! [02:56] Therstrium, apt-file search [02:56] BuenGenio: thanks! [02:56] Therstrium, but you might have to 'apt-get install apt-file' first [02:57] sure it will [02:57] ok, the apt-get remove commands worked well enough, I'll read about unlocking the notification area later, thanks all [02:57] how many OS's you have there? [02:57] phoenixsampras, there is a graphical tool for installing Hardware Drivers in System->Administration I believe [02:57] no, wait, the user indicator is still there and I removed indicator-applet-session [02:58] I have an asus g60vx laptop, and my slash button puts out <. It is a USA laptop, set to USA keymap. The only layout I could find that made it correct was a UK layout, but more of the shift+1/2/3/4/etc keys were wrong. Anyone had this issue? [02:58] (backslash button that is) [02:58] (one above enter) [02:58] can i grab the 10.04 repos so I can get a package? [02:58] so no Webmin alternatives?

[03:00] UnholyTerror, checking out all the buttons, nothing is a backslash [03:00] so redo the keyboard [03:00] *nevermind [03:00] AH it's doing it again! My system just gets really sluggish for no apparent reason. CPU usage is at 2% but it's acting like it's at 100%. Even typing is impacted. Like if I hold down 'X', rather than smoothly typing a series of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, it types in bursts (XXXXXX, pause, XXXXXXXXX, pause, XXXXXX) === cable is now known as Guest62711 [03:00] UnholyTerror, ... can you be more specific?

[03:32] !spam | r00tsh3ll [03:32] Boooooooooom! [03:33] * spinningcompass blinks [03:34] can someone help me with this? [03:34] i've been sitting here like allday [03:35] just to prove it works... \\\\\ :D [03:36] should the mount command take a long time to complete? [03:36] silly laptop maker for making a non-standard key on the keyboard :/ [03:36] ahaney3: no [03:36] any ideas what would cause it to hang? [03:36] ahaney3: spite [03:36] sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt/storage [03:37] when trying to fix my ushare install i get this error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/521142/ [03:37] Draqul, lol "sudo eject /dev/spite" ? [03:37] ahaney3: No, I do not know what the issue is there. If you didn't have perms it would just kick back an error - so... [03:37] ahaney3: usually it's pretty quick, unless the drive has to spin up or it's a networked drive. Does the partition fsck ok? [03:37] I'll try it [03:38] does file sharing/streaming between ubuntu/windows looking better these days? [03:38] i'd like to be able to use the G buttons along with the M buttons, and the applets, for the logitech G510. how can i do this? [03:39] no, it doesn't and fsck suggests I try e2fsck [03:39] which then also complains [03:39] is the drive hosed? [03:39] tim_ i think nowadays you can write on windows partitioins, and on windows there aree programs to make linux ext3 partitions look like a drive to windows [03:40] check the S.M.A.R.T. status? [03:40] rooks what happened to good olle samba? [03:40] ahaney3: maybe, or it might just be the partition got corrupted. I agree with ironsight. Check the SMART data next... [03:41] so, go ahead and make fun, how? [03:42] can someone please help me with this problem? [03:42] furi: what problem? [03:42] ahaney3: sudo gsmartcontrol if you have it. sudo smartctl /dev/sdb if you don't. Then look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. [03:42] garyholt: i've been talking about it all day long [03:42] furi: I just came in [03:42] garyholt: oh [03:43] garyholt: well, nevertheless, i'd like to know if i can bring the logitech G510 to its fullest use; on windows, you can put applets on the screen, and the bindable keys on it are bindable, and you can use the mode keys. on linux, the screen just always says G510, and the function keys are F1 - F12 and the last 6 are 1 - 6 on the numberline, and the mode keys are unusable. [03:44] anyone know of a good way (from ubuntu) to get multiple livecd iso's on a usb from linux? [03:44] furi, hrm, check out the hotkey mapping area? [03:44] furi: ok ..hold on a sec [03:44] ironsight: i'm sorry? what do you mean? [03:44] hold on, lemme pull it up [03:45] system>prefferences>keyboard shortcuts [03:45] Anyone here use Amazon EC2? [03:45] smartctl is in the repo? [03:46] I just created an instance but not sure how to delete it. Nifty to create an Ubuntu VM there :) [03:46] furi, looks like this forum post about the g510 got as much input as your IRC question http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1571482 sorry man I have no ideas, good luck. === froggyman is now known as F_r_o_g_g_y_m_a_ === F_r_o_g_g_y_m_a_ is now known as froggyman [03:47] furi: it seems that it has pretty bad support for ubuntu :S [03:47] when trying to fix my ushare install i get this error. http://paste.ubuntu.com/521142/ [03:47] furi: is ubuntu your main OS? [03:47] garyholt: yes [03:48] garyholt: in fact, i have no other partitions [03:48] garyholt: tested it on my mom's vista computer [03:48] garyholt: and the stuff it could do was AWESOME [03:48] Sean93, i'd try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to see if it can fix what's currently broken [03:49] furi: did it contain any drivers for linux? [03:49] garyholt, no linux drivers - windows/mac only [03:49] furi: if not ... have you tried to run the software via wine? [03:49] ZykoticK9: i get the same errors [03:49] garyholt: no, only windows and linux, just like the N52te, which i traded in for this for that EXACT reason [03:50] garyholt: yes, i tried wine, even on N52, it doesn't change anything [03:50] Sean93, i'm not really surprised (it was doing the same thing basically) -- sorry i gots nothin'. Good luck man. [03:50] ZykoticK9: thanks for trying [03:50] furi: did you change wine settings from xp to windows 7 ? [03:51] garyholt: actually, no... not until after i did it; before i switched to 7 i think i had it on vista === h is now known as Guest46248 [03:51] garyholt: should i have it on xp? [03:51] furi: well originally it's xp but u can trie to change it to windows 7 [03:51] furi, garyholt i doubt using wine for hardware (even a keyboard) is going to work. [03:51] ZykoticK9: I got my old logitech to work that way [03:52] furi: run xev and see if the keys even trigger an event, if not youll need a driver that likely doesnt exist. as for the lcd, if it is generic you might be able to fiddle with it. the "applets" are not going to work without a native port or maybe wine(doubt it) [03:52] sorry I'm looking for smartctl in the repo and I don't see it [03:52] ahaney3, some bios can check the SMART status [03:52] garyholt, well then, i guess it's worth a shot ;) sorry guys, best of luck. [03:52] it's a remote machine [03:52] oh [03:52] can I do it via ssh? [03:53] sweetpi: do you mean the G keys or the M keys or just regular keys? [03:53] !Info Kernel [03:53] sweetpi: or should i try them all? [03:53] I check my smart status in windows :/ [03:53] ubottu kernel [03:53] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [03:53] Anyone know when the 2.6.36 kernel will hit the updates for Maverick? [03:54] ironsight, :( [03:54] Digital_838, it won't [03:54] sweetpi: tried pressing the M keys and they didn't work [03:54] furi: just try them all and maybe copy the output(if any) [03:54] psusi: Why not? [03:54] Digital_838, could always compile it yourself if you are impatient :) [03:54] sweetpi: the regular keys get output; if i press 1 and hit G13 they get the EXACT same output [03:54] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-rc8-maverick/ [03:55] What are those for? [03:55] Digital_838, because -updates is for service releases to fix critical bugs [03:55] G13 is intended a bindable key but apparently isn't [03:55] I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work. I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0 [03:55] Digital_838, testing [03:55] anyone have an idea? [03:55] psusi: But even with testing they won't move it into the updates? [03:55] Digital_838, Ubuntu uses a time-based release scheme - thus no rolling updates of software, you need to wait for a new version to get updated versions of included software (with security/bug exceptions) [03:55] psusi: I mean after done testing. [03:55] furi, perhaps the correct driver for that keyboard has not been coded :( [03:56] alright guys I really need your help here. I've got a kernel problem where ksoftirqd uses 100% of my system resources. From Googling it looks like it's a longstanding issue with no real solution other than to try a different kernel or different network hardware. This is a laptop, so I can't exactly change the network hardware. I'm running 10.10, 2.6.35-22-generic with all the latest updates applied. If anyone has any exper [03:56] ience with this I'd really appreciate some help. This is very frustrating. [03:56] ironsight: my life in a nutshell [03:56] Well that really stinks because the 2.6.35 kernel is laggy and sluggish for a lot of folks. [03:56] furi: youll need a custom program to do that if they dont have drivers for linux [03:56] I wish for the 2.6.35 kernel to go away. [03:57] Digital_838, just fyi, I've had this problem with previous kernels as well. Only never on every single boot [03:57] There's a huge thread in the forums of people having issues with this 2.6.35 kernels and the 2.6.36 kernel makes all those issues disappear. [03:57] I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work. I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0 I'm connecting via SSH with the X forwarding enabled in putty. any ideas? [03:57] furi, there's a couple of gaming peripherals that do not work (a couple gaming mice made for WoW) [03:57] smartctl is in the smartmontools package, fyi [03:57] Digital_838, I have Windows booted on the machine right now. _windows_. That should tell you how frustrated I am. [03:57] ironsight: but it's not a mouse [03:58] ironsight: it's a gaming keyboard [03:58] it's in the same family of drivers though [03:58] stiltzin you should try the 2.6.36 kernel. [03:58] ironsight: i guess [03:58] Really its loads better [03:58] human interface drivers [03:58] You load 3 debs and Maverick gets wings! [03:58] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=40185&f=42 [03:58] furi: it could be done, but a dev would need access to the keyboard.. lookingg at the price, I doubt thats gonna happen [03:58] Digital_838, how do I get the new kernel downloaded and installed when an unkillable process is using 100% of my cpu though [03:58] Digital_838, no... stable releases only get bug fixes, not new versions just because they are there... [03:59] sweetpi: that's simply because it's me with the problem; i'm sure if it was someone else, it'd be a lot better simply because it isn't me and my bad luck [03:59] stiltzin: It happens that fast on every boot? [03:59] Digital_838, my fan is cranking at max even before GNOME loads, so I can tell it's immediate [03:59] stiltzkin: mine was more intermittent. Except using Wine where it was 100% trashed. [04:00] stiltzkin: Is that a driver issue? [04:00] sweetpi: problems have been stacking up and nobody has helped me with any of them [04:00] Anyone have Any clue as to how to get 10.4 basic ubuntu to install,? during the processs errors varrie, iv tryed No ACPI on/off and remove "quite" aswell as "nosplash" with these options Iv nearly got it installed but get "hung" on checking battery (and its a desktop) [04:00] stiltzkin, amd? [04:00] Digital_838, a driver issue how? I think it's a softirqd bug. As in the software doesn't know how to properly use the hardware. I guess...? === akashmanohar is now known as SingAlong [04:00] 10.10 was the worse Ubuntu release for me in years. [04:00] ironsight, yeah, amd64 [04:01] And I've got hardware that's 2-3 years old. Should be just at the sweet spot. [04:01] Digital_838: its bad if you are using it on a netbook. else its all fine [04:01] I had overheating issues on my older amd64 dual cores on a few distros [04:01] intel has great drivers though for cpu scaling that keeps it cool in linux [04:01] SingAlong: there's a large thread in the forums filled with folks having problems with the Kernel alone. [04:01] furi: your asking for something that doesnt exist, nobody will be able to help with that unless they are a developer and also have that keyboard [04:01] Then Gwibber, which they promoted as part of this release, is borked for tons of people. [04:02] ironsight, yep this is a dual core. I don't have any other heat issues, everything is normally very quiet and cool. This however really starts to cook things. Which I do not like. This is an expensive laptop [04:02] I'm trying to be able to forward X to my windows pc at work. I keep getting Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10:0 I'm connecting via SSH with the X forwarding enabled in putty. any ideas? [04:02] How can you have a social networking release when the facebook aggregator you're promoting doesn't even work? [04:02] sweetpi: but my other problems aren't about HID stuff, and even then, nobody could help [04:02] Digital_838, yeah I agree...neither of those things worked for me initially, and I guess come to think of it they still don't [04:02] or more accurately, takes absolute trickery to install. [04:03] furi: like what? maybe try rephrasing the question [04:03] sweetpi: music-applet [04:03] I know it's a bit OT but I really think Shuttleworth should reconsider the every 6 month release cycle. [04:03] sweetpi: well, the other issue is HID [04:03] sweetpi: bamboo tablet [04:03] I tried to edit my fstab and screwed up (after all there's a first time for everything). http://pastie.org/private/8qjj5t7wbjobglhkwjlzq [04:03] Digital_838, agreed [04:03] so is there any way to prevent this from happening? I was shocked to see that there's basically no way to stop the process from respawning [04:03] And how did they sell him on a font over more stable pulse audio? [04:04] If no one has any idea to my issue, could i be pointed in the direction of the most stable revison [04:04] Digital_838, don't even get me started on pulse. Took me 3 hours to get Skype working because of Pulse [04:04] pulse is a headache [04:04] stiltzkin: Lol- you've got plenty of company. [04:04] pulse kills my linux gaming [04:04] ironsight: ditto [04:05] Digital_838: oh. ya I had fan problems on my toshiba satellite M505 S4975 laptop. bought a new one yesterday. it used to overheat up to 65c and thewifi went down quickly. it worked fine on windows tho [04:05] anyone on this? http://pastie.org/private/8qjj5t7wbjobglhkwjlzq [04:05] Funny thing when I researched some of the PulseAudio issues, turns out the PA lead dev is ticked off at Ubuntu because he says they're packaging it wrong and he keeps getting the blame for it not working. [04:05] Digital_838, I dunno about that, I read it too, it was a bit far fetched [04:05] ALSA, with proper configuration and _up to date_ settings, is all that's really needed. But I digress. I'm more interested in unbricking my laptop right now. It's completely useless with this problem [04:05] Digital_838: the fan _just didnt work_ on the toshiba. but ubuntu 10.10 is awesome here on my new HP Probook 4420s. Just that I screwed up my fstab :P [04:06] stiltzkin can you do like a very minimal (no gui) install just to see what's going on? [04:06] stiltzkin: Like have it not start X right away? [04:06] in the fstab should i set umask to 777 or anything else? [04:06] Digital_838, you mean alt install? [04:06] niil [04:06] furi: If nobody responds to your question, it doesnt mean they are ignoring you. either they dont know the answer or it doesnt interest them. there is also ##linux for more generic linux topics [04:07] when i try to boot from ubuntu 10.10 cd on my new build, it says no live file system found...i do have the usb - cd drive connected as well as a ocz ssd sata. What am i missing? [04:07] Digital_838, oh I can get to terminal and everything. I've got Fluxbox installed as well, and that loads fine. It's just much slower than usual since everything can only use one core [04:07] ironsight: Yeah i guess. I'm still a n00b at this but there has to be something like that where you can jsut get the base installed. [04:07] Digital_838, would dmesg help? I can pastebin it [04:07] sweetpi: sorry for being so blunt and rude, i'm just fed up [04:08] sweetpi: to the point of where i'm having second thoughts on installing ubuntu in the first place [04:08] furi, it can be aggrivating, we all understand that. [04:08] stiltzkin: I'm a noob. The only thing I know about Ubuntu is what I Googled from others. But I can tell you that recommendation for the new Kernel hit a homerun for me. If you can get your system to just load three packages, that's all you have to do. [04:09] Digital_838, alright maybe I'll try to get them to install. Thanks for the tip...I just wish I knew how to really fix this [04:09] And I love Linux... but the next person who says Microsoft Windows is evil is welcome to come over here and get my PulseAudio working in under 3 hours. [04:10] Digital_838, well _now_ I know how to do it in under 3 hours ;) [04:10] On another computer, I noticed that Ubuntu Studio had more fonts. I don't want to have to install Ubuntu studio to get fonts on this computer, but would like to know if there is a package of fonts (either the ones or similar to the ones) in Ubuntu studio. [04:10] sudo apt-get pulseaudio purge [04:10] (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system .. [04:10] The next person who ports my unreal engine3 games will be my god [04:10] Digital_838, close, I was gonna say sudo rm -rf / [04:10] !danger [04:10] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [04:10] stiltzkin: lol [04:11] Digital_838, oh...oops, guess that sets of an alarm here [04:11] thomas|Stapl: stop that [04:11] rofl [04:11] aw, now that's not very nice [04:11] Ubottu is sure funny at times [04:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:12] unless you know you want to wipe your system... [04:12] sudo rm -rf sure sounds like a fun command, really fun...yeah... [04:12] there are more interesting ways to do that. like piping urandom to your entire disk with dd [04:13] sounds like a simulation of suicide [04:13] well [04:13] i cant see my windows when i reduce they disappear?? [04:13] On another computer, I noticed that Ubuntu Studio had more fonts. I don't want to have to install Ubuntu studio to get fonts on this computer, but would like to know if there is a package of fonts (either the ones or similar to the ones) in Ubuntu studio. [04:13] is my real question === quiesense is now known as quiescens [04:14] i cant see my windows when i reduce they disappear?? [04:14] AegNuddel, I honestly have no idea, but I bet if you google the names of a few of the fonts you want installed (I'm presuming they're free fonts) you can probably find some kind of package [04:14] what does the docky helper do? i turn some of them on, but nothing happened... [04:14] don't really know em by name yet [04:15] AegNuddel, oh, also you can check to see if Ubuntu Studio has its own repositories (it probably does) and then search them for fonts packages [04:15] Anybody know if its possible to flash BIOS on ubuntu??? [04:16] john38, like, you mean from within ubuntu? [04:16] stiltzkin, i mean whatever within or out [04:16] there, all done setting up the nvidia, looks good :D http://i54.tinypic.com/28i97jb.png [04:17] you dont oot into any operating system to meddle with your bios if you are sane [04:17] boot* [04:17] john38, well certainly there are ways of flashing your bios. I think normally you don't do that in a running OS though [04:17] yeah what Jygga said [04:17] stiltzkin, well then does ubuntu have boot into Dos or something [04:18] john38 you just need a usbb stick [04:18] john38, you should check out making a bootable dos cd for flashing [04:18] like freedos [04:18] john38, no...ubuntu has its own commandline, not DOS. Why do you need to reflash your bios anyway? Lost password? [04:19] stiltzkin, i just want to update bios [04:19] john38, it is possible to flash the bios of dell machines [04:19] go to the website of your mainboard manufacturer and read up on what they want you to do [04:19] john38, the dell flash API has been implemented in open source tools. So you can flash from your desktop like in windows. [04:20] there we go === BlueSherpa_ is now known as BlueSherpa [04:20] jsninja, this is not a Dell machine its custom P4 3.2ghz Asus mobo system [04:20] john38, for other manufactures you'll need to boot into DOS from a usb key, cd, floppy... FreeDOS usually works [04:21] unetbootin can make a freedos usb stick [04:21] hello [04:21] hi [04:21] how to use it [04:22] What would cause slow scrolling on a website [04:22] or search engine [04:22] ram, video card? [04:22] Hello my Ubuntu conked off after working pretty well for some days. I have installed it it on Vista. Now it gives an error message Try (hd0,0 NT5S) No Wuibldr Try ((hd0,1 NT5S) and then brings up another screen which says "Minimal bash like editing is supported for the first word. Tab list is possible command complete. I wonder if anybody can help me ? [04:22] john38: is it jittery? like it repainting the page [04:23] Sean93, no if I scroll down its slow and when i type something on search auto complete is slow [04:24] hello [04:24] john38: then I'm not sure [04:24] john38, perhaps alot of flash bogging down the page? [04:24] What does the name of the distro do in the commands? when it says like "lucid main" [04:25] AegNuddel, just specifies which repository to get the packages from [04:25] AegNuddel: that refers to the repositories that hold packages/programs. "Main" is the primary repository that is supported and tested by Ubuntu [04:26] anyone installed Aoin on linux? [04:26] Sean93, now that you asked when i boot into ubuntu before the ubuntu splash or after im not sure the screen is different color its all weird then desktop loads [04:26] I accidentally put the wrong distro name as I pasted it from an older source [04:27] Will it matter? [04:27] <_MAD_Diplomat> oR Beach Club [04:27] AegNuddel: you should only use packages from the repos that are designed for a specific release. [04:27] <_MAD_Diplomat> wrong channel [04:27] AegNuddel: did you actually apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before fixing it though? if not, i doubt it matters. [04:27] oh man [04:28] john38: that's over my head. I'm still new to linux, I just help with problems I have solved personally :P [04:28] 有中国的么 [04:28] I hadn't done that and it's just fonts really [04:28] Anybody know what can cause weird colors on screen before boot??? [04:28] !cn | joyoco [04:28] joyoco: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:28] Digital_838, successfully applied the 2.6.36 .debs, rebooting with crossed fingers... [04:28] I found the studio fonts thing but it was designed for feisty and I have lucid here [04:29] AegNuddel: for fonts you can find many on the net.. put them in your /home/.fonts directory.. fontmatrix is a good font management program for turning fonts on and off. [04:29] stiltzkin: I'm cheering for ya! [04:29] Scunizi, I know that much [04:30] so i've noticed in the past few days a bunch of people coming in here speaking chinese [04:30] did the default irc channel on the chinese localization of ubuntu not get set up? [04:30] hi, how can i edit an sql table ? [04:31] john38: loose cable, bad ram or bad video card.. could be a number of things [04:31] john38: could be misconfigured drivers, problems with the plymouth screen, etc. [04:32] Digital_838, well...so far it looks good! no process usage. Thanks a ton for the tip. Unfortunately I won't really know whether or not this is fixed until it starts doing it again. I've been between 5 or 6 kernels before and sometimes it's an infrequent problem that can be solved with one reboot, and then other times (like now) it happens every time. This definitely looks like it helped though! [04:32] sweetpi, after unpluggin VGA cable it does not show up anymore but im hesitant [04:32] i am now in ubuntu live. in terminal i am root on my main system. error that i get when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. when i try to run apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade i get this error: Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic to initrd.img: File exists [04:32] dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic (--configure): [04:32] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17. help? [04:33] error on starting my hdd system is plymouth main proces.... second error is while in live cd [04:33] sweetpi, these are my specs P4 3.2ghz, Corsiar DDR400 2x 512ram, Ati Radeon 9800pro [04:33] all started to happen today after update. i mean, yesterday. [04:34] john38: and? [04:34] don't worry about weird colors on the screen if you installed drivers for your ati [04:34] john38, ^ [04:35] what do you think is the culprit === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12p|afk [04:35] i fixed my partition table with testdisk, edited fstab while in live cd so that only loads swap and / , recheck my winxp partition with chkdsk. i am running out of options here [04:35] video drivers, but it's no biggy [04:35] Digital_838, ironsight: thanks very much for the help, gentlemen. looks like I'm at least up and running again, for now :) [04:35] is getting a nvidia card instead fix it? [04:35] unless you use the free but inferior drivers you will have funky colors [04:35] john38: you unplugged that cable, and it went away.. so I say loose cable [04:36] john38, nvidia has the same issue [04:36] stiltzkin: Glad its better! [04:36] ironsight, just ignore it or shut off the splash screen [04:36] john38, [04:36] I suggest ignoring it myself [04:37] ironsight, one more thing when load search engine its slow as i scroll, "a search engine!" [04:37] ironsight, but other sites are normal [04:38] john38, I use google chrome [04:38] ironsight, but for you, with a gig of ram... try seamonkey [04:38] john38, [04:38] * ironsight facepalms for being up for 24 hours [04:38] ironsight, i got a P4 3.2ghz and 1GB of ram shouldnt that be enough [04:39] try chrome or opera, you might see an improvement [04:39] ironsight, or should 2GB be enough [04:39] chrome uses webkit I think [04:39] which is quite fast [04:39] * Sean93 congratulates ironsight [04:39] :P [04:40] ironsight, i dont have problems with firefox [04:40] anyone can gobby to gobby.ubuntu.com? [04:40] Sean93, ? [04:40] on being up for 24 hours lol [04:40] my day off :P [04:41] a day well spent lol [04:41] I wasn't in here all day :P [04:41] * ironsight grumbles something about diapers [04:43] ok all, i think its time for bed [04:43] nite [04:43] Nite Sean [04:44] Hello all. Is there a way to change the scroll speed in Ubuntu with gnome shell? [04:44] hey guys, I am trying to make a virtual machine out of a running ubuntu box, then reinstall the box as a virtual machine box and put the ubuntu vm back on it.... anyone had success doing this? The ubuntu machine does have some databases running on it so I am not sure if a tar of / will work. Any ideas? Thanks. [04:44] hello? [04:44] anybody with some assembly language knowledge? [04:44] javatexan: You just made me dizzy [04:45] javatexan: vmware has a tool to make a vm out of a running install.. you can load a vmware vm image into vbox. [04:45] anybody know how is the time of day represented in linux? [04:45] okay, it will actually be a ubuntu virtual machine server....I don't remember what they called it. THanks [04:45] grub is installed, repaired, i see my ubuntu and winxp partition. i can go in winxp with no problem, on Ubuntu when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. i am googling andtrying stuff for couple of hours now. anyone with similar problem today? i am now in livecd [04:45] try ddate alanlan69 ;) [04:46] how do you disconnect from ONLY a channel on irssi? [04:46] javatexan: what vm software are you using? [04:46] Digital_838: I know what you mean [04:46] i am sorry for my ignorance, but i am not very familiar with linux, i am just a recent fan. [04:46] furi: /window part [04:46] oddtod: just the one in ubuntu server [04:46] and i happen to be in an assembly language class this semester [04:46] Scunizi_: didn't work [04:46] javatexan: xen? Virtual box? Vmware? [04:46] furi: is it the only channel you're in? [04:46] and i have a homework question saying: how is the time of day represented in linux? [04:47] furi: try /window close [04:47] Scunizi_: no, i'm in 3 channels right now [04:47] that question is a little vague alanlan69 [04:47] i know!!! [04:47] this prof is crazy! [04:47] if prof is hot then its ok [04:47] but a friend told me it has to do with precision or something, as in milliseconds,etc [04:47] alanlan69: i'm assuming there is a leading question [04:48] so... he wants you to write a program for linux in assembly that messes with linux date and time? [04:48] alanlan69: "with a clock" is the correct answer [04:48] oddtod: it looks like KVM is the default for the ubuntu server [04:48] well, that is the question and then is asks the same about windows, java, mac, etc [04:48] oh maye he would like you to read up on time representation as epoch time ? [04:48] jajaja, [04:48] there you go then [04:49] uhmm, [04:49] Where should I ask a question regarding Ettercap? [04:49] javatexan: and you're looking to take a physical server and virtualize it right? [04:49] he said it has to do with precision, as in milliseconds, or nanoseconds, etc [04:49] oddtod: yes [04:49] alanlan69, like... make a timer in assembly? [04:50] yes! [04:50] he siad something about an enhanced capture timer datasheet [04:50] but i have no idea what that is or where to find it, this class is hard, and i am just a beginner [04:50] he told you to do this without showing you the basics of how to do it? [04:51] yes, he is ten year, he doesn't care [04:51] ten year = prof in college who cant get fired no matter what [04:52] alanlan69, the word you are looking for is "tenure" [04:52] does anyone know if I have openvpn and apache running on the same ubuntu server, if I can [04:52] tenure, correct, [04:52] see apache's website through the openvpn server private IP? [04:52] javatexan: http://alexharrington.co.uk/2009/09/23/linux-p2v/ there you go sir. Following those will get you P2V using KVM [04:52] i am ESL [04:52] javatexan: good luck [04:52] thanks oddtod [04:52] I have never coded a timer, let alone in assembly [04:52] I like a little bit of a higher language than assembly [04:53] ten year HAHAAH === rene is now known as Guest8214 [04:53] I mean, linux was coded in c [04:53] :) [04:53] ? when 9.10 support ends does that mean ho more repo updates or just helping end [04:53] alanlan69: should be easy in assembly to get a precise timer, assembly is fast [04:53] and c is easy compared to assembly [04:53] hiexpo, no more security updates is the real issue [04:54] ZykoticK9, yes [04:54] alanlan69, google for "assembly timer example" [04:54] but i dont understand the question, how is time of day represented in each of the folllowing systems: Windows, Mac, Linux, GPS, Java. [04:54] alanlan69: you might as well type in the actual question, its a little hard to read your mind. LOL [04:55] jaja, sorry, [04:55] grub is installed, repaired, i see my ubuntu and winxp partition. i can go in winxp with no problem, on Ubuntu when i try to load is Plymouth main process (329) terminated with status 1. i am googling andtrying stuff for couple of hours now. anyone with similar problem today? i am now in livecd. [04:55] alanlan69, your homework assignment is NOT ubuntu related, and thus off-topic for this channel. perhaps ##linux might help? best of luck. [04:55] ZykoticK9, tnx, i was aobut to say same [04:55] when I type tasksel on 10.04 it says command not found, how can I install it? [04:56] LOL, the youth [04:56] i know i know, sorry to bother, i just thought one of you geniuses might be able to help me. [04:56] Ever since I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.4 I keep getting prompted for an update for Krita but it will not allow me to select it and Krita doesn't open either [04:56] cutout, sudo apt-get install tasksel [04:56] Any ideas? [04:57] gthumb question: where is the find duplicates button? [04:57] name_ it seems like your menu file prlly got hosed up. i don't remember where that file is i thought it was in /boot/grub/menu*.lst [04:57] !ubottu | botabuse [04:57] botabuse: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [04:57] but i can't seem to find mine [04:58] UbuntuLily, some things can break on updates in ubuntu, I suggest next time you build from scratch to put /home on a separate partition than / then you can install from scratch on the update without losing your stuff in /home [04:58] I am setup that way already [04:58] ahh ok [04:59] I just thought the update was safe [04:59] hardly anymore :( [04:59] Neat [04:59] it's like rolling the dice [05:00] wait, update or dist-upgrade? [05:00] hey, I'm using anacron (I think) and have set up a user cron using crontab -e. It doesn't seem to be getting run. Anyone got any suggestions why? No .allow or .deny files are used :/ [05:01] anyone know? [05:01] name_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 that is what you're looking for. There should be an area on there discussing the differences between grub 1 and grub 2 [05:01] oddtod, ubuntu 10.10 uses grub2. quote:"# [05:01] Grub Legacy uses boot/grub/menu.lst. [05:01] # [05:01] Grub 2 uses uses boot/grub/grub.cfg. " i reinstalled grub several times. i now think it could be kernel issue , but i have only latest one on grub, and dont know how to install older ones [05:01] name_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:02] An ISO image that i downloaded tonight, (Spent 2 hours downloading) downloaded as an iso and an iso.1 [05:02] how do i merge them? [05:02] i thought it was in a same line.. [05:03] Is ubuntu one password reset broken? Ive had it send me a confirmation code 3 times over 4 days. I use gmail and have checked my junk folder. [05:03] name_ yeah if you don't care about the install just blow it away and reinstall. A fresh install shouldn't matter [05:03] lets say i have a command that i can run on the terminal "npm" how can i figure out what npm points to? [05:03] CkhiKuzad: if they are mergable, the first thing I would do is rename iso to iso.0 then cat them togethr [05:04] CkhiKuzad: cat iso.* > new.iso [05:04] Is Ubuntu one password reset broken? Ive had it send me a confirmation code 3 times over 4 days. I use gmail and have checked my junk folder. [05:04] oddtod, there is nothing too important on my ubuntu partition, yet i would like to see what programs i have installed so that i can reinstall ones i liked, i didnt memorized them, and also i might check my download folder, but i can do that from livecd i am in now [05:04] Ironsite - whats the difference? [05:04] jiohdi, alright. so i would do 'cat bt2.iso.0 bt2.iso.1 > backtrack.iso' [05:04] jgautier: are you saying where the program is located? You can run the command "whereis yourcommand" [05:05] ok [05:05] CkhiKuzad: if they are mergable that should do it [05:05] oddtod, thing is, i wanna know how to fix this stuff , it is a good for learning [05:05] alright, thank you jiohdi [05:05] UbuntuLily, major upgrades or software changes in the repo [05:05] /bye [05:05] sometimes it isn't sane about how it handles the updates [05:05] Sorry for my stupidity... I dont understand [05:05] Anyone know if Ubuntu one password reset is broken? [05:06] Alright, everyone, I apologize beforehand for my lack of knowledge. 2 days in to ubuntu with no previous linux experience. i cant get the backlit keyboard on my asus towork? [05:06] jeroth1, you could email ubuntu one team maybe? [05:06] name_ if its not a fresh install meaning you had a machine that was working it broke and then you wiped the disk and reinstalled. then most likely grub broke you then reinstalled grub(fixed grub) now need to adjust the settings of the boot file to fix this. [05:06] UbuntuLily, the biggest difference between "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" is the dist-upgrade will install NEW packages, while the "upgrade" will not [05:06] thanks ironsight i thought i would just ask the community :) [05:06] :) [05:07] Gotcha. I am just using the GUI "Update Manager" [05:07] anyone? [05:07] UbuntuLily, Update Manger = dist-upgrade from cli [05:08] jeroth1, you might want to try asking in the #ubuntuone channel ;) they might know. [05:08] name_ do a paste bin of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:08] jiohdi, thank you very much. the cat appeared to work. now the only challenge is to get it to burn. [05:08] ZykoticK9:ha! Yeah, that might help har har har *headsmack* [05:08] CkhiKuzad: (^_^) [05:08] oddtod, it is an old install "installed day when 10.10 came out". grub2 i reinstalled several times, and i fixed any problem partition table might have, or winxp ntfs partition errors. i also removed from fstab all ntfs partitions i had there for autoload [05:09] automount* [05:09] Also dont know if its related but my battery indicator hasn't worked right since either [05:09] Hello my Ubuntu conked off after working pretty well for some days. I have installed it it on Vista. Now it gives an error message Try (hd0,0 NT5S) No Wuibldr Try ((hd0,1 NT5S) and then brings up another screen which says "Minimal bash like editing is supported for the first word. Tab list is possible command complete. I wonder if anybody can help me ? [05:10] jiohdi, Your expertise of Linux far surpasses mine, the burning is working, and hopefully my back track CD will soon join my Ubuntu, Frenzy, and Slax LiveCDs. [05:10] Hello,I upgrade my Ubuntu to 10.10,but i can't copy file to windows share folders,report invalid parameters. why? [05:10] CkhiKuzad: I am still a newbie, but had my share of learning in the last year [05:10] i always go over updates list (not that i understand it really) to see if something i regulary use is getting updated, but today i didnt so i dont know if kernel was updated. [05:10] can someone with latest updates on 10.10 tell me what their version of kernel is [05:11] name_, 2.6.35-22-generic if it helps... [05:11] Alright, everyone, I apologize beforehand for my lack of knowledge. 2 days in to ubuntu with no previous linux experience. i cant get the backlit keyboard on my asus towork? [05:11] jiohdi, I've been using Linux since i was 13, yet i am, unfortunately still a newbie compared to almost everyone else. [05:11] Any idea people ?? [05:12] CkhiKuzad: I went through about 14 re-installs my first year... learning curve :) [05:13] CkhiKuzad: You sound like a martial artist to me. :) We never stop learning. Either you quit or you learn more. :) [05:13] spndi, i'm sorry to say this, but Wubi issues don't typically get many answers - more experienced users avoid it, and thus can't really help with Wubi-specific issues. Hopefully someone can help, best of luck. [05:14] jiohdi, I now have a backtrack 3 LiveCD \o/. And spinningcompass, I took martial arts classes until my family's income dropped below poverty level, and we couldn't afford the classes. anyway that's enough of my being off-topic. [05:15] spndi: wubi worked for me on initial install, but after an update, the boot failed [05:15] hi guys.. how to use ssh tunnel .. to use transmission for downloading torrents.. [05:15] from my office [05:15] is it possible ? [05:15] I have a VPS [05:15] CkhiKuzad: very good :) [05:15] CkhiKuzad: I think martial arts fits very well into the spirit of ubuntu. ;) [05:16] I'm getting [Errno 5] Input/output error when it starts to copy files during installation. Installing netbook remix on an eeepc, side by side with Win7. [05:16] i've tried a CD, two USB drives, and a SDcard [05:17] and I'm pretty sure it's not the hard drive, becuase win7 works fine, and ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition works fine... [05:17] So I have a questiona about Unity. everytime I try to run it under a virtual box guest I get errors for no driver. any ideas? [05:17] linux-image-generic-pae depends on linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic-pae ,however: [05:17] Package linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic-pae is not configured yet. [05:17] how to do that within live cd [05:17] phroggie, from a livecd/usb environment if you run the terminal command "dmesg" is it also filled with I/O errors? (would suggest a bad/failing HD) [05:17] Does anyone know if Ubuntu can run on an Iphone or a blackberry? [05:17] didnt want that. damn xchat!! [05:17] phroggie, Check your RAM with memtest86+. Probably the curprit is RAM. [05:17] Also I'm looking for an IRC channel for OpenOffice [05:17] spinningcompass, it fits more into linux in general. as the jargon file says: "To follow the path, look to the master(s), follow the master(s), walk with the master(s), see through the master(s), become the master." [05:18] I'll try dmesg and a memtest and report back. Thanks guys [05:18] Like Kung-fu.

[05:18] hi guys.. how to use ssh tunnel .. to use transmission for downloading torrents using software like 'transmission' on ubuntu ? [05:18] anybody tried it ? [05:18] CkhiKuzad: to format the path, look to the dearly gparted [05:18] * name_ slaps oddtod [05:19] * CkhiKuzad facepalms about the epic pun [05:19] Anyway, i'm going to test this LiveCD, thanks for your help jiohdi, nice talking to you spinningcompass [05:19] i would paste it as one line if i knew why it paste it in 3 [05:19] hey all where could I put a script that runs on startup and return from suspend with root priveleges? [05:19] :) [05:19] ubottu: thanx - found it. [05:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:19] lots of errors with dmesg [05:19] and you :) [05:19] but no IO errors [05:20] phroggie, i'd try md5 testing your ISO image you are using to burn then... [05:20] phroggie, boot using the live cd and choose memtest86+ [05:20] i'm running memtest now [05:21] phroggie, memtest takes HOURS, just so you know - probably best to leave running overnight. [05:21] OH lol [05:21] How can I disabled Ctrl+Alt+F1 going to a text terminal ? [05:21] Patric3: why would you do that [05:21] phroggie, so...did you burned the CD in 8x or higher speed?? [05:22] hi all [05:22] i burned it fast, but I'm getting the exact same error with two different USB sticks AND an sdcard [05:22] Does Ubuntyu support a voice to text option? [05:22] blakkheim: When I am connected to a Windows RDP Server and using VMWare VI Client, I'm currently unable to send a Ctrl+Alt+F# to a *nix guest [05:22] sdcard is lightning fast compared to the rest, so I've been using that [05:22] Patric3, Why would you..?? That's Unix feature. Multiuser, Multitasking [05:22] as above [05:23] Patric3: I believe you change your xorg.conf and set the option. "Option "DontVTSwitch" "true" " [05:23] i.e. my local box switches [05:23] I want all other text terms to switch if possible except for F1 [05:23] Patric3: write a small app which will send this to the client [05:23] lol [05:23] How ? [05:24] GUN C [05:24] phroggie, You should not burn CD/DVD(specifically OS ISO's) above 8x. So chances are media is faulty. But I guess in your case it's RAM as you mentioned you've tried USB too [05:24] GNU C pardon [05:24] Virtual terminals used to be controlled in /etc/inittab but since the move to upstart I'm not sure how to mod this behaviour === rubydiamond is now known as zz_rubydiamond [05:24] Patric3, did you tried using CTRL+SUPER+ALT+F1 in vmware [05:24] ah [05:24] :-) [05:24] I will try that [05:25] If you go to www.gnu.com and check the docs for Glibc they have complete docs on how to open a port and write a bit of glue code [05:25] (although that key combination is verging on Mac key combinations ;-) [05:25] phroggie, if the ISO you are using is bad, no matter what you burn it to (or copy it to for USB) the results will still be bad, you really should md5 the iso to at least know the download was successful. anyways, do what you wish, good luck. [05:25] SUPER as m$windows key [05:25] yip [05:25] Jiohdi, What is the alternative [05:25] I was just getting at the crazy multiple key combinations in OS X ;-) [05:25] Patric3: looks like you are nicely fixed up [05:25] Does anyone know how to fix this upon restart "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ? [05:25] thanks zykotick9, yeah I'm looking for the md5 now, they don't make it as easy to find as they used to [05:26] nice, hulu works in browser without their desktop app [05:26] !md5sums | phroggie [05:26] phroggie: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [05:26] Hmmm.... no dice. My local Ubuntu box switches to text mode [05:26] does anyone know if Ubuntu cna run on an iphone? what about in a VM? [05:26] zkotick9, Where could i get help for Wubi issues ? [05:26] phroggie, Ya ZykoticK9 is right. Did you use torrent for downloading the ISO's..?? Direct download sometimes get corrupted [05:27] serious issues with Ubuntu 10.10 install, I only get a black screen [05:27] spndi: wubi makes an imagefile within windows and then points to it, it seems that this file changes with updates and is no longer where it should be, the alternative is to format the disk, install ubuntu first than windows and grub2 will allow dual boot [05:27] spndi, here, but typically there isn't much help i'm affraid. best of luck. [05:27] random question ...what knowledge would one need to be a game developer/programmer? besides languages how much is physics & calc used? [05:27] iulian:Basic answer... lots. [05:27] Can anyone help me with this message upon restart "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ? [05:27] hey, I'm using anacron (I think) and have set up a user cron using crontab -e. It doesn't seem to be getting run. Anyone got any suggestions why? No .allow or .deny files are used :/ [05:27] spndi, FYI jiohdi just gave you the wrong order for dual booting - always install windows first [05:28] spndi: sorry, yes ZykoticK9 is right [05:29] jeroth1: What would be a good place to start? Im studying calc 2 and Java right now [05:29] spndi: or you can just repartition the disk with gparted and allow for a blank partition, and ubuntu will install itself on that without harming the windows and then allow dual boot [05:29] !offtopic | iulian [05:29] iulian: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I would like to go to www.bnn.com (possibly www.bnn.ca) and tap into their recorded programming and have it displayed on my TV with the sound on the TV as well. What hardware would I need to set this up? [05:29] Can anyone PLEASE help me with this message upon restart "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." ? [05:29] jeroth1: Good place to start would be right where you are. Stay in school and get your CS degree. Gotta be great at programming to start with. [05:30] oops [05:30] Windows is lagging down my laptop pretty bad, I was thinking of giving ubuntu another try. Do you all think I could get it running right without much trouble, I remember running into problems getting all the drivers to work (laptop is 3 years old I believe) [05:30] hehe [05:30] what about a CIS degree [05:30] Jerry: its telling you that the masterboot record does not contain the address for your init file [05:30] Jerry: something got corrupted [05:30] Jiohdi I am beginner. I am on Vista with two partitions C and D and Vista is on C and Ubuntu I see is also under C [05:30] LiveCD blank screen on boot. intel graphics. Can anyone help? [05:31] http://www.boingboing.net/ [05:31] spndi: that is what wubi does [05:31] http://www.boingboing.net/ [05:31] iulian, forget Java. C++ is for serious game development. Theres a bunch of open source game engines to start with to build on. Also the web is becoming much more game friendly with HTML5 canvas (2d) and WebGL. So If you want to make games in a browser an easier place to start would be JavaScript+WebGL or three.js [05:31] jiohdi: How do I fix the masterboot? [05:31] jiohdi, better dump wubi and do a proper install [05:32] krishnandu: that was my suggestiong [05:32] How can that be ? === sacho_ is now known as sacho [05:32] jiohdi, :) === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:32] spndi: its because wubi creates some sort of fake file within windows that becomes ubuntu on boot up [05:32] Are you saying dual boot is not the way to run Ubuntu ? [05:32] iulian, http://www.ogre3d.org/ === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest51979 [05:33] jiohdi: how can i fix it if something is corrupt? [05:33] spndi: dual boot works just fine, but wubi is not a true dual boot [05:33] jiohdi, that would be spndi [05:33] spndi, Wubi is NOT the same as dual-booting [05:33] OH OK [05:33] wubi is dependent on windows [05:33] Jerry: reinstalling is all I know [05:33] ubuntu studio has firewire driver support atomatically right? [05:33] spndi, Wubi installs it under windows environment [05:33] iulian, http://www.crystalspace3d.org/main/Main_Page [05:33] also, iirc there are some features that wubi doesn't support, or doesn't support "as well" [05:34] So How do I go about installing it on D drive ?? [05:34] spndi: wubi ubuntu is not a true install, its a file within windows [05:34] Yesh I saw that Jiohdi [05:34] Ya chances are ubuntu installed with wubi will break down now and then. So better do a proper install [05:34] iulian, http://khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Main_Page [05:34] spndi: I believe you have to install it on your active partition. I may be wrong, but I believe it has to be on C: [05:34] and I was a little surprise but not after your explanation now [05:35] iulian, http://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/ [05:35] spndi: easiest way is to remove the d drive, just leave it blank, unformatted, and ubuntu will detect it and ask to be installed there [05:35] Ya that's right. [05:35] Jiohdi how do I remove the D drive then ? [05:35] if I want to install unbuntu in a VM is there a good way to do this? [05:35] spndi: you need a live cd and then use gparted [05:35] what is wubi [05:35] Would anyone kindly point me to a script for accessing Mobile phones via Ubuntu (like a folder)? I used it and it worked for my mobile Samsung SGH-J600, but can't remember the name. [05:35] iulian, http://box2d-js.sourceforge.net/ http://www.box2d.org/ [05:36] jeroth1: I've installed wubi to a partition other than the windows one before [05:36] phroggie:As I said I may be wrong. :) thanks man [05:36] just letting you know =D [05:36] TheValuum_: wubi is a windows program that pretends to install ubuntu but its actually more of a virtual install within windows [05:36] jsninja, thank you sir [05:36] phroggie:They say you learn something new everyday, I usually learn about 100 new things ha. [05:36] If I installed Ettercap using Ubuntu Software Center, where would the files have likely gone? [05:36] Ah, interesting. I want to install ubuntu on this withering laptop but I had driver problems last time [05:36] OK so live CD is different from Wubi installation, is it ?? [05:36] very different [05:37] TheValuum_: Run the command "whereis ettercap" [05:37] yes spndi [05:37] TheValuum_: if its old and low memory/processor speed, you might try something like puppy or quirky instead of ubuntu [05:37] I think I'll give it another try, i need a lighter OS for all I do on this laptop [05:37] live cd is runnning from your cd installation is running from your ha [05:38] Okay ive had too much alcohol, now giving advice to wrong people. im out haha [05:38] hd" [05:38] OK so live CD is different from Wubi installation, is it :) [05:38] Oh no it's was a $2k-$3k laptop 3 or 4 years ago, i just couldnt get proper sound or video working. This was with ubuntu a few years ago, I think i could get it to work now [05:38] does anyone know how to compile as3 on ubuntu using mxmlc [05:38] spndi: a live cd is just an install disk with ubuntu on it... you can run it LIVE without installing [05:38] live cd chance to try out the os before you install it [05:38] spndi: in LIVE mode you can use programs like gparted to alter the disk before you try to install [05:39] Well I am going to the Ubuntu download page now [05:40] Trying to setup a ubuntu no gui using hostapd as a bridged firewall. hostapd not working [05:40] 10.10 [05:40] i have a firewire card i havent used ubuntu sense version 6.06 and wondering is the correct drivers installed automatically for it . running ubuntu studio maverick [05:40] But I wonder why the ubuntu page didn't alert me of the pitfalls of installing a wubi [05:41] spndi: probably because few actually try? [05:41] spndi, all the methods are mentioned there. You should have read it. [05:41] toe_, depends on your hardware [05:41] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [05:41] it's mentioned there that wubi install is not a proper install(I think so) [05:41] if you have an old machine it will be install [05:41] *lled [05:42] gurpreet_ , what do you mean [05:42] I don't think it compares and contrasts different methods KRishnandu [05:42] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [05:42] no it doesn't compares [05:42] But the methods are mentioned. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [05:42] I am referring to the pitfalls... [05:43] Yes you are right it lists methods [05:43] But if you plan to use Ubuntu in long term then wubi is wrong choise. [05:43] anyone know how to use ssh to redirect a port on a local machine? [05:43] Sure I understand now after my machine collapses on me [05:43] :) [05:44] BlueSherpa: ssh has that ability to redirect? [05:44] Should I use option 2 Krishnandu ? [05:44] I've set up a user cron using crontab -e. It doesn't seem to be getting run. Anyone got any suggestions why? No .allow or .deny files are used :/ [05:44] I'm trying to listen on port 9999 and redirect it to 22 [05:44] juk_: yea, you can do port forwarding with ssh [05:45] juk_: here's one tutorial that I'm trying to understand http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-use-ssh-local-and-remote-port-forwarding.html [05:45] spndi, Download the live cd. Burn it to a cd(Remember to burn it not more than 8x) [05:45] spndi: on wki.ubuntu.com/wubiguide it lists boot problems-- sometimes windows moves files into a hidden folder called c:\found.000 [05:45] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: what's the end goal? [05:45] DOes Unbuntuu have a voice to text alplication that is any good? [05:46] anyone know tutorial how to install compiz fusion and its tutorial? [05:46] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: forwarding a local port to a remote port? [05:46] True but when you do to this page http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download an unassuming user would click on the windows option and invite all the trouble as I did, would you agree ? [05:46] spndi, Make some space on your HDD, Do this using Windows or boot from the Live CD, Choose Try Ubuntu and use Gparted to partition your HDD. Leave it upartitioned. And then install Ubuntu(chances are ubuntu will automatically detect that free space and will install in it, but make sure to review the paritioning system before forwarding) [05:46] _jesse_: I'm trying to connect from a remote server to my local server using ssh, but the remote server is behind a firewall... I could connect to my local server on port 9999 over ssh, if I can get it to listen on that port, but I still need it to listen on port 22 by default for local traffic [05:47] _jesse_: I tried just using ssh bluesherpa@localhost -L 9999:localhost:22, but that didn't work [05:47] OK could you please give me the link to the LIVE CD ? [05:48] _jesse_: does that make sense? [05:48] spndi, what do you want to use torrent download or direct download?? [05:49] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: you can configure sshd to listen on multiple ports [05:49] direct download [05:49] I am at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [05:49] spndi, We always recommend torrent download, but if you want direct download just click the button Start Download(top) [05:49] _jesse_: yea, but I'm trying to do it via ssh, so that I can use this same configuration on another server that I don't have sudo/root [05:49] Ya it's that on top of the page - right side, the big orange button saying start download [05:50] anyone know how to make a presonus firepod work on ubuntu studio [05:50] also is there a program like qbase fore linux [05:50] is my laptop having a bug the letter g seems to be typing its own [05:50] When trying to mount a partition, I recieve this message "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" any solutions? [05:51] _jesse_: basically, I'm trying to connect from one of my ssh /web hosting accounts to my version control server and I'm running into problems [05:51] Ok it is an ISO file Is that correct KrishNandu ? [05:51] i remove the g keys on the key board but the problem still persist? [05:51] spndi, yes... [05:51] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: well port forwarding is more for tunneling over the network, not loopback, hmm... [05:51] <_jesse_> let me see [05:51] Getting a No Driver Loaded for Unity error when trying to load it as a virtualguest under VirtualBox.... OSX host. any ideas? [05:52] can anyone help me with this error message? "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" [05:52] spndi, do you know how to burn ISO images?? [05:52] its an old laptop installed ubuntu on it so that i could use for downloadin stuff [05:52] _jesse_: yea, I can ssh into my hosting account, but I can't ssh out, because of the firewall, but they allow port 9999 outgoing, so if I could configure my local server to listen on that... it would work well [05:53] I am on the live cd right now and when trying to mount a drive, i recieve this message "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" [05:53] !wait | Nomad [05:53] Nomad: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:53] Krishnandu, You use Gparted to partioned the HDD and leave it unpartioned - I didn't quite understand this line [05:54] spndi, are you on windows now?? [05:54] Yes [05:54] sorry about that [05:54] So how many paritions do you have?? [05:54] 2 partions viz C and D [05:54] Nomad, It's ok. You can try loggin out and log in. May it solve your problem. [05:55] spndi, what do you have in your D drive..?? How much space is allocated there?? [05:55] spndi, Any imp data?? [05:55] around 125 GB free space [05:55] i'll try that right now, thanks [05:55] would it be ok [05:55] ? [05:55] more than enough. You'll be fine with 20GB [05:56] :) [05:56] Even that's enough for most users [05:56] Well as for ISO I need to click on ISO file and it brings up a window where I point to the CD drive to burn the CD am I right and this becomes an intallable boot CD. Correct me if i am wrong [05:57] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: hmm, I'm having trouble getting it to work too [05:57] So boot from the Live CD and you'll see a program Gparted there. Use that to shrink your parition and make out 20GB and leave that 20GB unpartitioned [05:57] _jesse_: yea, it just locked up on me when I tried it [05:57] spndi, Yes you are absolutely correct :) [05:57] _jesse_: playing around with another server that I have, getting sshd to listen to multiple ports might be my only option, so I'm testing it also [05:57] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: I did the command you had and it lets me connect to ssh from localhost on port 10000, but not from outside [05:58] _jesse_: I also tried the command not using localhost, but using the external ip [05:58] <- newb question...mousepads...anyone know their stuff? [05:58] _jesse_: it worked in one case, but not from the server behind the firewall - it reported no route to host [06:00] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: wait, I got it to work with the -g flag [06:00] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: ssh localhost -L 20000:localhost:22 -g [06:00] <_jesse_> I was able to ssh in on port 20000 from another computer [06:01] _jesse_: testing - thought I had that earlier, but maybe not [06:02] Krishnandu, during such partion excercises I hope my Windows Vista would be safe and there are not chances of being overwritten by Ubuntu . HOpe then nobody tells me you should have already read it :) :) [06:02] lookin for help with my touchpad [06:02] spndi, Don't touch your C drive. Then your Vista will be safe. :) [06:03] spndi, But one warning, took backup of imp datas, as shrinking always not gets successfull and you may loose your data. [06:03] Ok so are you saying GPART will detect 2 partitions ? C and D [06:03] Whoops now the fine print comes !!! :) [06:04] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an IBM eServer x346, but booting off the CD in installation mode is veeeeeery slow, like it's been sitting there for the last 30 minutes [06:04] took me a while off cd, too [06:04] it works though! [06:04] the specs are 2 Xeon (SMP), Harware Raid and 2GB RAm [06:05] spndi, Gparted will see your all harddisks and all the partitions [06:05] in the Log I also got a message like "Your processor is missing the required security features" or something [06:06] spndi, BTW lemme confirm again, you have C and D only, You have vista installed in C and D have 125GB of free space right?? [06:06] woohoo I got the graphical now [06:07] how to install eclipse ADT plugin [06:07] its failing [06:07] :( [06:07] You know what I hate? [06:07] does anyone have any experiance on simon-listens or julius? [06:07] People who answer their own questions. [06:07] _jesse_: I think there's something else going on [06:07] rammyIRC, This is ubuntu support channel, and installing ADT plugin is mentioned in Android installing wiki [06:08] _jesse_: I went ahead and configured sshd on port 9999 and I can only connect to the port from the localhost machine, but not remotely [06:08] Krishnandu Precisely [06:08] ok [06:08] <_jesse_> BlueSherpa: maybe another firewall somewhere? [06:08] _jesse_: yea, not sure where tho lol [06:08] spndi, so just shrink your partition to 20GB less [06:08] I HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT FROM #FEDORA FOR TALKING ABOUT MONO [06:09] ranjan: caps lock day was last week. [06:09] lol [06:09] ranjan: that is ridiculous [06:09] Hello again. Has anyone here had success in recovering their boot setup after a Win7 installation? I am following the guides but am still having trouble. [06:09] all of you just read this to articles http://www.fsf.org/news/2009-07-mscp-mono http://www.fsf.org/news/dont-depend-on-mono [06:10] spndi, You can also do that from Windows Vists (Disk Management) [06:10] terr_, the fedora people have no time to hear to what others are saying [06:11] ranjan, Don't insult other distro's. That's not right. [06:11] ranjan: that would be a good reason to use Ubuntu [06:11] I've set up a user cron using crontab -e. It doesn't seem to be getting run. Anyone got any suggestions why? No .allow or .deny files are used :/ [06:11] actually people in #fedora are nice [06:11] ranjan, so fenris02 kicked you probably..?? [06:11] i need some help with my mousepad...anyone? [06:11] krishnandu, yes ofcourse , how do you know that? [06:11] krishnandu, yes ofcourse , how do you know that? [06:12] ranjan, I'm there too...right now I'm using fedora :P [06:12] doc|home: do other jobs run ok? [06:12] krishnandu, ok, why is this so ? [06:12] :( [06:13] Since the shrinking business is fraught with risks can I leave the partion as it is since I don't mind if Ubuntu is installed on 125 GB of space [06:13] krishnandu, whats the need of IRC then? [06:13] I have found we do have voice 2 text in KDE4 via simon & julius [06:13] krishnandu, i havent talked anything rubbish there? [06:13] Well... peoples in #fedora are not so active, as compared to #ubuntu, actually I found #ubuntu most active than others. [06:13] is it possible to emulate the macintosh enviroment on ubuntu to run .app files? [06:13] using something like wine [06:13] i cant boot into my integrated VGA card??? [06:13] krishnandu, yes me too found that [06:13] OEP: hmmm, ok, it seems they are running... I hadn't checked an hour and the test one seems to be running, doh. Thanks [06:13] ranjan, I don't know...I was in #ubuntu. Just see the logs there.... [06:14] doc|home: haha ok, cheers [06:14] krishnandu, i just talked about the mono project, and what fsf says about mono [06:14] Hi, in have deleted my top panel in ubuntu, please tell me how to get back default panel [06:14] Damn - Julius! Julian! I think I know who wrote this. He's a frend of mine on the KDE team! [06:14] does anyone know what package I need to use Gnome2::Vte in Perl?? [06:14] i cant boot into my integrated VGA card? [06:14] Actually I love #ubuntu coz peoples don't just post google links or tells us to google it out, which is what fedora does. [06:14] I guess #fedora is not willing to help noobs, you need to know linux well.. [06:14] krishnandu, i am going to place a complaint against him in #fedora [06:15] ranjan, You can't fenris02 is OP [06:15] Maybe its time to concur with Krishnandu :) [06:15] Hello folks [06:15] hi guys [06:15] Hi kate [06:15] Hi katselphrime [06:15] krishnandu, are you from india? [06:15] Hi, in have deleted my top panel in ubuntu, please tell me how to get back default panel [06:15] !ot | ranjan, krishnandu [06:15] ranjan, krishnandu: #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! [06:16] ya sorry sweetpi [06:16] sorry sweetpi :) [06:16] sagar: are there others still present? [06:16] !resetpanels | sagar [06:16] sagar: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:16] you fellas wanna make yourselves useful? [06:16] actually we should say sorry to ubottu [06:17] You should say sorry to me as well. [06:17] Lol, just joking. :D [06:17] anyone know where perl Gnome2::Vte package is?? :) [06:18] why couldn't ubuntu have xchat in 10.10 livecd, empathy sucks for irc when you have a ton of channels :( [06:18] comawhite: empathy seems to suck in general [06:18] i like it [06:19] just not for irc [06:19] comawhite: Install Pidgin. :SD [06:19] irc in IM clients suck always [06:19] comawhite: I just apt-get irssi each time hehe [06:19] i wonder how long my lappy battery will last in linux, in windows 7, it swallowed it badly :( [06:19] comawhite: You can get a binary for XChat and run it each time you use the Live CD, [06:20] how can i do it please? [06:20] why is ubuntu so slow on an SMP Xeon? [06:20] installation [06:20] i haven't used ubuntu in forever [06:20] it's crawling slow [06:20] BuenGenio: I have an Xeon on my desktop and it's fast [06:20] how was your install? [06:21] well i use another distro for my desktop [06:21] I have it on my CoreDuo laptop and it's fast too [06:21] I have a C2D T6400 [06:21] it's compiling glibc great [06:21] burp [06:21] but installing it on this server - I only just got to Install Now after an hour of wating.. [06:22] Does anyone know why I'm getting error: unknown option: -memory [06:22] when running VBoxManage [06:23] anyone know why my mousepad won't work? [06:23] toshiba a35-s209 can't find any specific drivers [06:24] comawhite: You need to download the portable version of Xchat from http://portablelinuxapps.org/ and you can use it each time you access the live cd. :D [06:24] okay thanks mate [06:24] Does edubuntu have LTS releases like ubuntu? [06:24] I get the error error: unknown option: -memory when runniing VBoxManage modifyvm "test" -memory "256" [06:25] cheers [06:26] JayLK: Are you running inside a virtual machine? If so, you may need to allocate more RAM to the virtual machine in it's settings. [06:26] comawhite: And, once you download the BIN file, you can give executable permissions to Xchat BIN with "chmod +x xchat.bin" and then run it with "./xchat.bn". :D [06:26] comawhite: You're welcome. [06:26] JayLK: --memory not -memory [06:27] @sdbbinwiiexe : No I'm running VirtualBox 3 on Ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS [06:27] sdbinwiiexe: Edubuntu is just another flavour of Ubuntu. So, I think it doesn't have LTS releases. === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [06:28] spndi, So did you tried?? [06:29] Yeah I am waiting for download to end in some time [06:29] spndi, No did you tried shrinking partition from Vista?? === fxhp is now known as foxhop [06:31] Krishnandu : No you cautioned me on the problems associated with shrinking disk. so I am planning to keep it as 125 GB do you think that should work without a hitch in the future with no OS threatening the existance of the other ? [06:31] empathy全是乱码啊～还是xchat好了 [06:33] i cant boot into my integrated VGA card? [06:33] anybody help me [06:33] that portable xchat refused to work, i got xchat through the pm and now im on it [06:33] Krishnandu: would you approve of my idea ? [06:34] to not shrink or partion the disk any more ? [06:34] when I try to install anything on ubuntu 10.04 I get error saying "something weked happened could not connect to server" and this is a fresh install, can anyone help me ? [06:35] should a swap partition be primary or logical [06:36] Krishnandu http://download.cnet.com/Wubi/3000-2094_4-10701841.html Here it says WUBI should work perfectly fine and there should not be any issues [06:36] spndi, No no don't waste 125GB, You won't be using that....just shrink the D drive [06:36] spndi, Don't worry your C drive won't get affected [06:36] can't connect to shared printer on my office [06:36] i cant boot into my integrated VGA card? [06:36] anybody help me [06:36] spndi, But #ubutnu itself says wubi is not for long tem users [06:37] when i search the shared printer, i found it, but when try to print test page, there is nothing happen. [06:38] Sorry I don't understand who that is . [06:38] anybody help me [06:39] ? [06:39] spndi, lol...users in ubuntu [06:39] *of [06:40] i cant boot into my integrated VGA card? [06:40] john38, let me guess, intel? [06:40] compaq, yeah [06:40] :) OK its that the code for Ubuntu users = #Ubutnu ? [06:41] spndi, Well..somewhat..!! :P [06:41] john, can you get into shell? [06:41] monitor is blank [06:42] Ok thats enlightment for me now :) [06:43] compaq, monitor is blank [06:43] spndi, so do it any way you like, gparted from ubuntu live cd or disk management from windows [06:43] OK which one do you think is the safest ? [06:43] john38, , wierd, that a hardware issue, do you have multiple vid cards or something? [06:43] Possibly disk managermnt from windows Right ? [06:44] spndi, safest..?? both.... [06:44] or probably gparted [06:44] compaq, when i boot up through my other Ati Radeon 9800pro DVI , screen is wierd colors then loads desktop [06:45] john38, if you unplug the ati card, then can you boot into intel card? [06:45] compaq, i dont know havent tried [06:46] john38, if you have the ati plugged in, the hardware(bios) will disable the onboard intel [06:46] compaq, oh [06:46] Ok do you think I will have issues of the MBR overwritten by VISTA and other issues at all ? once I have installed through the Live CD on a partioned disk [06:46] john38, if you unplug the ati, the bios will enable the intel again [06:46] compaq, well if that doesnt work should i just upgrade to a good nvidia card [06:46] compaq, ok [06:46] Grub overwritten amongst other things --- when I googled ? [06:47] compaq, in case i want to use better video [06:47] john38, not all intel cards are blacklisted, when you are in Linux, you can find out what kind you have and then do a search to see if it is compatible [06:47] After removing a program does ubuntu delete the installer to free up space? [06:48] john38, I threw in an nvidia card, so I could use compiz and a dock navigator, but it not worth unless you have one lying around, I wouldn't have spent money on a card. But if you are buying new, you can make sure and get a good card [06:48] Tashia, probably not, but you can remove them all with apt-get clean [06:48] spndi, Ya GRUB will overwrite Vista Bootloader, don't worry, you'll get option there to boot into vista. [06:49] spndi, But if you remove ubuntu, then you need to restore windows bootloader from Vista DVD [06:49] compaq, this is a P4 3.2ghz 1GB ram system [06:49] john38, sweet, faster than mine at least [06:49] compaq, it is old [06:49] john38, it is more than sufficient. It will never slow you down, except with flash [06:50] compaq, it will only be used for internet and email [06:50] john38, mine is 2ghz [06:50] john38, what else is there, all I do is watch dvd's, movies, music, web browse [06:51] compaq, im also using a generic PSU,..debating whether i should remove and use good name brand [06:51] compaq, its a new one just bought it for $10 [06:51] need help on nagios [06:52] john38, cool [06:52] Whoops I don't have VISTA CD as it came installed on my laptop... It seems I am on a very dangerous path :) [06:53] need help on nagios [06:53] compaq, you know how much Best buy charges for testing a PSU [06:53] if anything were to go wrong with the Ubuntu installation I think I might get screwed ! [06:53] john38, haha, probably $50 [06:53] compaq, damn [06:54] john38, go to a small shop, they will do it for $5, $10 maybe, if you are charismatic with them, even for free, if you know how to talk. [06:54] compaq, i guess i can sweet talk lol [06:55] john38, You know I worked at one computer shop, we threw away lots of psu. Cause we would order cases that came with psu, and customers would order high end computers, and so they need a better powersupply, so we had all these cheap but brand new powersupplies lying around. I bought one for $10 [06:55] compaq, what about those digital power supply testers online [06:56] compaq, how did it work [06:56] john38, all you need is a working psu, if you computer powers up with the one you know is working, and not the one you got, then you know you psu is bad [06:57] or is you have another working computer, you can plug in your suspect power supply, and see if the working computer still powers up [06:57] Am having problems with apt-get update/install/dist-upgrade see the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/521229/ [06:57] guys what is linux-swap and what happens is i tern it off??

[07:03] spndi, No boot frm Ubuntu Live CD that you are downloading now, you;ll get gparted there. Or use Vista's Disk Manager to do it [07:04] Hey I just updated my two older comps and both of them are not able to use remote desktop any more [07:04] viewer, sshfs is your command. [07:04] thx [07:04] cutout: was that after a apt-get install or? [07:05] muppis, it reach it but it seems broken it says could not read source... [07:05] I a;ready tried to change the mirror twice! [07:05] cutout, try http://mirror.peer1.net/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ [07:05] Yes but the first options of using Gpart requires me to have the windows vista CD [07:06] muppis: yes it is opened now [07:06] Guys how do i find my touchpad and deactivate/activate it in terminal?

[07:26] ...anyone care to answer the question I asked ten minutes ago? :) [07:26] it is a fresh install of 10.10 and did not work from the start [07:26] tarora, make sure you have pressed the wifi button on.. it might be hardware rfkill switch [07:26] its turned on [07:26] Whats better when installing on ubuntu tar.gz files or .rpm files??? [07:26] anybody [07:26] john38: tar.gz [07:26] isaia try this guide - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [07:27] rpm are for redhat from what i remember [07:27] john38, you use .deb files, if you can get them, or even better, use the package manager [07:27] isaia, yeah that won't do anything or in fact if you don't understand its best to not meddle with pulseaudio.. I believe its a sign that your sound card is either not supported or there might be something else hindering from it being loaded up [07:27] john38, neither [07:28] CryptoQuick, I joined in after 10 minutes so I didn't get to see what was your problem.. can you repeat it or if there's lots can you paste them into pastebin?

The NTFS disk mounted fine, and the HFS+ disk mounts easily as well, however: I cannot access my Mac /Users/ directory because of permissions. I've been reading that I can use hpmount and umask or something, but I'm having trouble getting all this to work. So my question: How can I access my Users files? [07:28] psycho_oreos, wireless switch is pressed on [07:29] I suppose I need to sync my uid and gid and stuff like that, but I'm totally not sure how to do this. [07:29] it works fine in if I boot in 2.6.32.25 header image === zz_rubydiamond is now known as rubydiamond [07:30] CryptoQuick, hmm not that I have experience with that but with NTFS I do have a little experience.. I believe one needs to mount them with the right userid and groupid along with appending `users' as mount option if a normal user wants to read and write NTFS. I guess the same may apply to HFS but don't quote me on that.. also HFS+ the last I read was either unsupported or in testing [07:30] what is the best use of SSH tunneling ? [07:30] psycho_oreos, aight, I'll do more research on this :) [07:31] tarora, I still don't understand what you mean by header image.. afaik kernel headers are just some source codes for the driver to be compiled.. its not a bootable option (at least not for older version ubuntu) [07:33] Found this solution for wireless problem - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9942551#post9942551 [07:34] any issue with using rfkill to ublock all [07:34] how do I update lmms to 4.8?

[07:35] I don't know what to really do [07:35] CryptoQuick, can you help me [07:35] Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to mount a drive without permissions. Basically, I have a media hard drive (ext4) that gets mounted automatically at boot (fstab) and I don't want it to have any permissions on it so that everyone can access it regardless of who made the files. Thanks! [07:35] CryptoQuick, im trying to compile intel graphics driver but i get errors [07:36] fiber: use chown/chmod for that [07:36] llutz: every time new files are created? that is a bit annoying [07:36] fiber: set sgid [07:37] CryptoQuick, hmm I re-read your problem, at least the hfsplus option for read only is available, there's an old thread detailing that writing to hfsplus under linux is not stable at the time and one needs to disable journaling or something. Then again HFS+ may have encryption support which may make it invisible to linux's hfsplus mount module [07:37] fiber: add you users to a common group, chgrp the drive to that group, set sgid on it [07:38] fiber: and off course, chmod g+w it [07:38] sofaking88, that's the source package of the app or whatever lmms is, you might want to try using prevu [07:40] psycho_oreos: source packages are all I seem to be getting for it. I don't know much on how to handle those [07:41] sofaking88: How did you try to "download the update"? lmms has a ppa for Ubuntu. [07:41] sofaking88, I suggest you to try installing prevu which would make a beginner's life a little easier provided that there's a new version available within the repository for the next distribution up from your current released version [07:42] Jordan_U: I got the update from the homepage [07:43] sofaking88: learn to use apt and install things from the repos [07:43] what command line .. commands ... allow me to copy files from one directory into another dir [07:43] sofaking88: Use their ppa: https://launchpad.net/~tobydox/+archive/lmms [07:43] delinquentme: cp [07:43] forceably [07:43] llutz, can you give me an example with "foo" and "bar" [07:44] delinquentme: cp path/foo newpath/bar [07:45] delinquentme: recursively dircopy: cp -r foo/ new/bar [07:45] and that pastes the files within foo into bar?

[08:36] this is ubuntu live minimal 10.04 [08:36] * nemesis2all_ needs help.....i want to mount a drive as media that is already has a mount point setup from installation.....pm if you can help me [08:37] aborticide: i'm surprised. [08:37] i also didn't even know that a live minimal existed. [08:37] leaflock: consult a wifi community, its usually a driver problem and some versions work better than others [08:37] (it doesn't) [08:37] check out the backtrack forums [08:37] backtrack linux forums [08:37] Backtrack Linux isn't supported here.

[08:38] use your common sense [08:38] Hey fellow ubuntu'ers, i got an intresting query i was wondering if anyone has any idea on why im experiencing a certain behaviour...... if i copy a file from my MDADM controlled raid5 to my MDADM controlled raid0 (where / is installed) the copy dialog will just hang and nothing will happen, when it does copy it will copy at throughput of 140MB/s, anyone have any clue? [08:39] a community that specialises in hacking wireless devices obviously knows which drivers work best [08:39] aborticide: Anyway, it's offtopic for this channel, which is for Ubuntu support questions. [08:39] comical. [08:39] rww: i'm not the one who brought up that specific channel actually [08:39] are you going to tell me that sudoku is off topic too, because it's not a linux question? [08:40] sudoku really comes with ubuntu minimal? [08:40] aborticide: Offtopic rambling about how you don't like it is (try #ubuntu-offtopic). [08:40] which window manager is the default for 10.04 live? [08:40] is it byobu? [08:40] aborticide: Metacity or Compiz, depending on your hardware [08:40] what's byobu for? [08:40] aborticide: It's a set of scripts and settings for GNU screen to make it more user-friendly [08:40] can anyone help me with setting up a partition as media that is already mounted?

[08:41] aborticide: actually i asked here because i only have problems in my ubuntu installation, but anyway can you point me to such a wifi community? [08:41] is it possible to remove all games (sinec it is a category), by going to system -> package manager, instead of "ubuntu sofgtware center" ? [08:42] leaflock: you mean, repeat myself? [08:42] aborticide: no i mean if you know a wifi support channel or forum, because i dont [08:42] leaflock: you mean, repeat myself?

[09:23] namely, google WMP52gs ubuntu "use this source code" [09:23] jeroth1, i just googled : ubuntu iceauthoriy and the first hit was : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47032 [09:24] I know the stick is ok as I can install both Fedora and Debian to it [09:25] !grub [09:25] 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.

Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.") [09:32] how i resolve this [09:32] caleb___, no problem have fun :) [09:32] vinod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:33] hellow... I have a PROBLEM! I installed ubuntu-netbook-unity-default-settings on Ubuntu 10.04.. when I logout and login into new envivoriment I only see white screen!

[09:33] sry but plz help me [09:33] caleb___ is a nigger I hear [09:33] i'm trying to convert an old debian into a ubuntu box. I've got a line in debian's /etc/inittab "T2:23:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/run-gdc" where's the appropriate place in ubuntu to put that? I only found tty configurations in /etc/init/ [09:34] caleb___, yep [09:34] I have a partition on a drive formatted as ext4 - It shows up as a hard disk icon under "Places" -> "120 GB Filesystem". When I click it, it mounts, but I can't write anything to it. I see a folder on it named "lost+found". I don't have permissions to view contents of that folder. How do I make the partition read/writeable? [09:34] !op KKKlanMan [09:34] caleb___, after installing that you can go to system/preferences/compizconfig settings manager [09:34] IS THAT IS THAT IS THAT A NIGGER I SAY? [09:34] !ops | KKKlanMan [09:34] KKKlanMan: Help! Channel emergency!

[09:35] someone ban this guy [09:35] its filling with blood [09:35] cut it off [09:35] Exploiter shut upp kike [09:35] so far he's been racist to black people and jews.. :/ [09:35] !ops KKKlanMan [09:36] caleb___: it's being dealt with. [09:36] thanks dude. [09:36] KKKlanMan, you know we only talk with men and woman here ...you dont qualify [09:36] Thanks [09:36] coz_: its processing triggers etc, does that mean it's done? [09:36] thanks ikonia [09:36] ^ [09:36] caleb___, no let it finish [09:36] how do i install NDISwrapper without internet access? [09:37] caleb___, when you get the normal terminal prompt it will be done [09:37] I think it's normal terminal now [09:37] its just got a bunch of text above it [09:37] caleb___, ok open it up [09:37] ikonia: can i ask why #ubuntu isn't +r all the time? [09:38] What is wrong with this channel tonight? Lewd sexual comments from one guy now we got this "edgy" kid being a bigot [09:38] Who runs this channel? [09:38] blakkheim: so that people can join without registering [09:38] blakkheim: don't worry - should be ok now [09:38] blakkheim: because it's inconvenient to unregistered users [09:38] Battletoads: all the same guy, actually [09:38] Battletoads: the people in #ubuntu-ops run the channel [09:38] corystaylor, Why don't you run "apt-get --print-uris", get the URIs, download them from somewhere, and then "dpkg -i " them all? [09:39] caleb___, did that open for you? [09:39] I have a partition on a drive formatted as ext4 - It shows up as a hard disk icon under "Places" -> "120 GB Filesystem". When I click it, it mounts, but I can't write anything to it. I see a folder on it named "lost+found". I don't have permissions to view contents of that folder. How do I make the partition read/writeable? [09:39] coz_: yeah, im experimenting now [09:39] caleb___, well one warning [09:39] coz_: thanks :) [09:40] ilyekkakai: use chown/chmod to adjust permissions [09:40] can I pipe an mp4 I am streaming into mplayer and have it play correctly and also save file for later viewing? [09:40] caleb___, compizconfig settings manager or ccsm is a very complex settings dialog... take it slow [09:40] anirubhr: ok, i'm completely new to this. this is my first problem. mind explaining a little more? [09:40] caleb___, if you need more help with this , you can meet me in #compiz [09:41] coz_: thanks :) i'll just use the water and the jelly windows now [09:41] caleb___, sounds like a plan :) [09:42] while i'm here, do themes reduce performance like they do in -ugh..- windows? [09:42] oh I get it. I can just create a ttyS0.conf in /etc/init/.. [09:42] corystaylor, You run "apt-get --print-uris ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" or whatever the package name is. This will spew the HTTP links for the .deb packages you need/ [09:42] caleb___, themes? you mean system themes? [09:42] caleb___: depends on your computer, and what you're doing. on my computer, compiz reduces performance when playing 3D games, for example, but is fine otherwise. [09:43] yeah, like window themes. [09:43] like [09:43] caleb___, generally no , unless the author really messed up... [09:43] alright [09:43] caleb___: oh, just color changes and such? no [09:43] www.gnome-look.com ones like them.. [09:43] corystaylor, So you download the packages and put them into a folder. cd to that folder, and ask dpkg to install all of them. "dpkg -i *". [09:43] what on earth [09:43] caleb___, you can download and install any gtk2 theme from gnome-look.org and run that... although you already have a fair list of themes in /system/preferences/appearance [09:44] caleb___, right gome-look.org make sure you use the GTK2.0 themes [09:44] yeah I know, I want it to look like a mac, i've always admired the art design on it [09:44] anirudhr it's saying "invalid operation ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [09:45] why are ubuntu chipped with empathy and not pidgin? is empathy a instantmessaging program from Gnome and there fore shipped as the default program? [09:45] ttiicc: yes [09:45] ahh okej thanks for the information [09:46] hi, i have a problem with my partitions... is this the right forum to ask? [09:46] flioppy: yeah if it's an ubuntu partition :P [09:46] ;-) yes partially [09:47] well go ahead and ask then [09:47] caleb___: try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-equinox equinox-theme equinox-ubuntu-theme faenza-icon-theme [09:47] corystaylor, Oops, my bad. "apt-get install --print-uris" is the command. Sorry. :) [09:47] ok... i think windows somehow did something to my partition table. i have overlapping partitions,according to testdisk [09:47] i'm freezing at startup, i was trying to get into xfce4, is there a way to not have a bulky logon for this? so far tty1 is safe, but if i even move the mouse in the other screen everything stops and i need to reboot [09:48] Aemaeth, Which greeter are you using? Gnome's xor Xfce's? [09:48] another problem solved [09:48] If I am in a directory deep in the file system, like /home/some/remote/directory/, the terminal shows the complete path all the time, this occupies a lot of space. Is there a way to make this shorter? [09:49] Exploiter: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MacOS-X+Aqua+Theme?content=13548 ? [09:49] but the problem is, i can't use testdisk's quick search... it runs forever and doesn't give me the option to rewrite the table. [09:49] caleb____: just use that command i use it too ;) [09:49] hi all, i keep having issues with updates and installing things. update manager just hangs. its been applying 20mb of changes for 30min now [09:49] dogmatic69, Why don't you use the command line? [09:50] but one thing testdisk tells me, is that my partitions are "deleted" [09:50] where could a find all the program which are part of the Gnome Desktop environment, forexample gedit and so on! I have been wisiting their official site but couldn't find anything there [09:50] can I pipe an mp4 I am streaming into mplayer and have it play correctly and also save file for later viewing? [09:50] caleb____: to such dock, you have to install other programs not involved in themes such as cairo dock, avantdock etc [09:50] If I am in a directory deep in the file system, like /home/some/remote/directory/, the terminal shows the complete path all the time, this occupies a lot of space. Is there a way to make this shorter? [09:51] anirudhr, didn't do much. last line says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." no urls. [09:51] because im a noob, and this just pops up whenever. it dies when installing from shell also. last week i tried to install something and then it got stuck i had to remove/reinstall over and over to get updates to work cos the files were 'locked' [09:51] dheerosaur: change the '\w' into '\W' of your PS1 variable, set at ~/.bashrc [09:51] anirudhr, i think i got stuck using gnome's [09:52] dheerosaur: using bash-4? try setting PROMPT_DIRTRIM [09:52] corystaylor, Tell me what you get when you run "dpkg -l | grep ndiswrapper". Search to see if the packages are already installed, as I suspect they are. [09:52] ah, there's that fanciness too [09:53] Aemaeth, You can't switch to Xfce's greeter now? I think you get the option when you install Xfce on an existing Gnome box. I remember doing similar jazz with KDE. [09:53] anirudhr: looks like http://oi51.tinypic.com/2d9pl54.jpg [09:55] Exploiter: sorry to sound like a noob but how do you paste a command into terminal? [09:55] ok, now I have another drive. It is partitioned as follows from start of drive: 46Gb unallocated space (used to be NTFS), 139Gb /dev/sdb2 further divided into 137Gb /dev/sdb5 as ext4 + 2.6Gb /dev/sdb6 as swap. then there is a further 2.49Mb unallocated at the end of the drive. Is there any way to join the unallocated space from the start and end of drive, then extend the /dev/sdb5 ext4 into that space to make that pa [09:55] rtition larger? [09:55] caleb___: use the middle mouse button to paste === spndi is now known as spandi [09:55] prince_jammys: wow thanks that's neat :D [09:55] that's an X thing, and addictive [09:55] you will hate every other gui now. [09:56] anirudhr, an option didn't come up when i installed the xfce, but i'm uninstalling gnome now for the space (didn't mean to have it there the first place) and then i can reinstall xfce if need be [09:56] dogmatic69, Ouch. I think you can just force quit the window and try again with command line. [09:56] dogmatic69, I think "sudo dpkg --configure -a" will fix problems. [09:56] anirudhr: ye then it will be f*cked again [09:56] member:anirudhr, nothing happens. am i supposed to type all that out with the vertical bar? [09:57] ye that is what i had to do last time... why cant it just work [09:57] its pretty lame having to do that every time i try update / install something [09:57] corystaylor, Yes, everything qithin the quotes. [09:57] caleb___: you don't have to right click and 'copy', btw. Simply select text and middle mouse button ... anywhere, not just terminal. [09:58] dogmatic69, I have no idea why you are getting such a problem. [09:58] prince_jammys: thanks, thats pretty cool [09:58] yes [09:58] what is the cmd to update from shell [09:58] dogmatic69: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [09:59] thanks [09:59] member:anirudhr and that's an L after the dpkg, right? dpkg(space)-l(space)(vertical bar)(space)grep(space)ndiswrapper. Sorry, I'm new to this. [09:59] dogmatic69, If that tells you that some packages were held back, you may need to "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [09:59] err, where do I find the themes folder? [09:59] I can't find it in root [09:59] /usr/share/themes, probably [10:00] caleb__ ~/.themes [10:00] or that, for your user's ones [10:00] anirudhr: never seen something like that, and im on 10.10 so dont think there is a dist-upgrade? [10:00] corystaylor, Yes. -l lists all the installed packages, grep searches for the search term through the output of the command before the pipe (vertical bar). That's okay. :) [10:00] ubottu: dist-upgrade [10:00] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [10:00] ilyekkakai: no, not without moving partitions around, that will take lots of time and might be risky, imo, is better create a new partition from the unallocated space, and forget about those 2.5mb at theend [10:00] it just gives me a new, blank line. nothing happens. [10:01] dogmatic69: it's probably a good thing that you've never seen it. in Ubuntu, it generally means something's going wrong. [10:01] hello, does anybody know anything about missing fast-user-switch-applet ? [10:01] anirudhr, it just gives me a new, blank line [10:01] how do I get to ~/.themes [10:01] caleb__ : sorry did got your last message, from keyboard you can use shift+ins. [10:01] caleb, open nautilu [10:01] press ctrl+h [10:01] caleb___, open your home folder then hit ctrl+h to show hidden files [10:01] m4v, is there no way to do this easily, not even using gparted or something? [10:01] caleb___: in the gui filebrowser, set to show hidden files and you'll see it. [10:02] found it.. [10:02] thanks [10:02] dogmatic69, there is a dist-upgrade on 10.10 though [10:02] dogmatic69, command rather [10:02] caleb___: files and dirs that begin with a dot are 'hidden', for conveninence. [10:02] *convenience [10:02] prince_jammys: ah ok thanks [10:02] (not for security) [10:03] now you know where your private videos are going to store ;) [10:03] I put the theme I downloaded in ~/.themes [10:03] LOL EXPLOITER [10:03] hello there [10:04] caleb___, if you downloaded a theme that is packaged as tar.gz...generallly you just need to open system/preferences/appearance and hit the install button and locate that package [10:04] caleb___, no need to manually install them [10:04] it worked, COOL! [10:04] thanks [10:04] :) [10:04] ubuntu is great so far [10:04] caleb___, no problem [10:05] ilyekkakai: ah wait, is sdb2 a extended partition? I understood it as a normal one [10:05] buenas [10:05] coz_: i know there is a command, but an actual update? [10:06] dogmatic69, depends on what needs to be updated or upgraded it cant hurt to occasionally run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:06] right [10:06] well i cant do anything now because everything is locked [10:06] m4v, yes - this screen grab should clear it up - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/ILyekkaKai/Screenshot--dev-sdb-GParted.png [10:06] dogmatic69: are you trying to uprade to 10.10 ?? [10:06] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:06] dogmatic69, I wastnt following your posts here so I am not sure what happened or what you were trying to do [10:07] dogmatic69: means you're likely already running a package manager [10:07] dogmatic69, do you have synaptic package manager opened [10:07] no im on 10.10, im trying to run the updates [10:07] ... [10:07] dogmatic69, close synaptic if it is opened [10:07] you can't run more than one apt frontend at once [10:07] coz_: yes, as i said just now it crashed [10:07] dogmatic69, ah ok [10:07] i know that [10:07] !aptfix [10:07] 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 » [10:07] ilyekkakai: ah, then I don't see why you couldn't do that, you will probably need to extend sdb2 first, then sdb5 later [10:08] dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [10:08] dogmatic69: try what ubottu just said [10:08] hi [10:08] prince_jammys: i just did... [10:08] ilyekkakai: and using those 2.5 at the end are really worth it? I would forget about them [10:08] that is the output [10:09] dogmatic69: try replacing the file path with the one in your first error message [10:09] namely /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [10:10] same thing [10:10] bah [10:10] dogmatic69, try rebooting [10:10] that seems extreme [10:10] dont feel like that now thanks [10:10] can happen when the power trips or something [10:11] dogmatic69, just meant as last resort :) [10:11] you may try temporarily moving that file elsewhere, at your risk [10:12] anirudhr, now i have xfce4 installed, just need a gdm or kdm replacement [10:12] m4v, ok. I am going to reboot from a live CD and try and mess about with these partitions. If I can't work it out I will just partition the 46Gb as a new separate partition. [10:12] anirudhr, nvm thanks for your help [10:13] Someone should fix that !aptfix factoid. Sending SIGKILL to apt/dpkg-processes is not a good idea. [10:13] Aemaeth, You solved it? How? [10:13] geirha: fuser sends sigkill? [10:13] thought it just sends TERM [10:14] prince_jammys: By default -k uses SIGKILL, yes. [10:14] geirha: point that out in #ubuntu-ops, they deal with factoid stuff [10:14] i see it, yeah. what do you suggest? [10:14] prince_jammys: "...Unless changed with -SIGNAL, SIGKILL is sent." [10:14] or /msg ubottu !no, foo is blah [10:14] yeah, saw it [10:15] i suppose you suggest -TERM ,,, [10:15] anirudhr, i can just type "startxfce4" that's the command i was looking for...i guess i could look up a way to have it autoload that, but is not necessary right now [10:16] hi all - how can I load a script at startup? thanks! :) [10:16] !startuo [10:16] !startup [10:16] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [10:16] right now the super TINY font it gave me is more of a problem, but i don't honestly expect anyone to hold my hand on that one, unless someone's in xfce already [10:17] Aemaeth, Ah okay. Cool. :) [10:17] what's gnome? and... it's to start my xfce..how does it start if already started? [10:17] [AutoGreetz] HellCome !!! [10:17] banking30horas: turn that off, please [10:17] gnome is the desktop environment used by default in ubuntu [10:18] it provides some standard apps, and the panels, and such. [10:18] on the machine this is on it can't handle gnome, that's why i'm going to xfce for now friend [10:18] sounds ok [10:19] desktop environments can chew up a lot of resources [10:20] is there a way to automatically use a certain monitor setup when an additional monitor is plugged in? I use the binary nvidia driver atm but would switch to nouveau if it were possible with it. [10:22] Aemaeth: you may try the irc channels #xubuntu and #xfce [10:22] thanks prince_jammys [10:23] welcome === THAC0_ is now known as THAC0 [10:25] Hi, I got a NFS that I mount manually on startup (it's my NAS), what do I have to do to make it mount automatically on startup? === Termana_ is now known as Termana [10:25] put it in your /etc/fstab [10:25] Naznaz: add it to 7etc/fstab [10:26] !nfs [10:26] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:26] prince_jammys, llutz thanks [10:26] welcome [10:29] Hi all :) [10:30] Hi. I want to start fbi on tty1 automatically from init. To do that, I modified /etc/init/tty1.conf to contain exec /usr/local/sbin/run-fbi instead of the call to getty. The run-fbi script exports TERM=linux and runs fbi. When I restart tty1 syslog says tty1 main process terminated with status 1 but I can't work out why it dies [10:31] when I login and start run-fbi manually, it works [10:31] slacker: U can google it bro ! [10:32] shaw1337: what am I googling? [10:32] hey guys, i don't know if I should ask this in #ubuntu or #windows because it involves both, after installing ubuntu I booted to windows to see if it's ok, it tried to checkdisk and I skipped and everything was sweet, is it normal to checkdisk? [10:33] as I still need windows for gaming. [10:34] caleb_: yes, there are various normal reasons why installing Ubuntu would mark an NTFS partition as needing checking. [10:35] how can I make it not check, cause I really can't be bothered cause I know that it will take a long time, just like everything else in vista [10:36] Hi. With apt-cache, how do I limit my search to packages installed on the machine? [10:36] caleb_: no idea; the ##windows people might know thatone [10:36] alright [10:36] thanks for the pointer [10:36] aw, nobody ever replies to my questions :( [10:37] dunpeal: afaik you can't, use "dpkg -l ...." [10:37] dunpeal: probably by not using apt-cache [10:37] use aptitude, dpkg-query, or dpkg -l + some grepish command [10:38] aptitude is capable of this, likely, if you can figure its evil search syntax === sraue is now known as sraue|afk [10:38] Im trying to install xine 1.2. Already compiled it from source, but now im having trouble with "make install" [10:39] /root/ffmpeg/libavcodec/opt.c:168: undefined reference to `av_parse_and_eval_exp [10:39] prince_jammys: what exactly is the difference between aptitude and dpkg? [10:39] hey slacker- how will the script run on tty1 when there's no one logged in [10:39] dunpeal: aptitude is fancier [10:39] can sb. please push me in the right direction? [10:39] :) [10:39] prince_jammys: but you say it's evil :) [10:39] dpkg --get-selections | grep -i [10:39] dunpeal: the search syntax is convoluted [10:39] ^ the answer as to how to do this with dpkg [10:39] since about a few weeks ago, maybe a month or so, I can't ssh into my ubuntu computer, can't rsync with it, and can't samba the shares. However the machine itself can update from the internet perfectly well (except that it's under a cupboard, so inconvenient to use from the machine) so the network is fine. [10:39] dunpeal: dpkg -l name [10:40] dunpeal: dpkg -l "*name*" [10:40] llutz_: shows all packages matching name, not just installed. [10:40] exit [10:40] quit [10:40] dpkg -l | grep name ?

[10:41] Rods_Tiger, the services might not be running [10:41] Rods_Tiger: Are you sure the ssh server is running? [10:41] dunpeal: bah [10:41] they were before this happened [10:41] check service status [10:41] ok [10:42] dunpeal: if you like fancy commandline package managers, learn aptitude. you can even use it interactively. [10:42] provided they run with upstart [10:42] yesh [10:42] pgrep $daemon works better :) [10:42] Rods_Tiger, for ubuntu do [10:43] yes, smbd, ssh and rsync are all running apparently [10:43] after I use cat and get an output of $? as 2.. what does it mean? anyone any idea? [10:43] then do -> iptables -L [10:44] and paste anything suspicious to pastebin [10:44] prince_jammys: I like fancy CLI PMs... that are simple and written in Python. [10:44] btw are you able to ping the other machines? [10:45] I don't know what would be suspicious - none of it is in proper English [10:45] in disk utility, it says that I have 5 bad sectors on my HDD, and the "Pending Sector Count" also has a red icon saying warning, is this something I should be worried about, and if so, how might I deal with it?

[10:58] cast: unfortunately, no [10:58] shayel, could try adjusting the font if everything else is fine [10:59] kjelle: then you'll have to close all files open in /home, then one could convert /home [10:59] kjelle: generally to convert things online to a different backend block device you'll need mdadm or lvm [10:59] cast: I could boot into console rather than gnome. then do it from console line?

[11:00] cast: confidentiality of the home partition [11:00] cast: since I have 20gb or whatnot of svn checkedout corporate files [11:00] spliffi: probably because ping has the setuid bit [11:00] that's right [11:00] kjelle: well, you can logout, then setup encryption for /home [11:00] hm just because of the suid bit ? hm [11:01] kjelle: you'll need a temporary storage space of at least the current size of /home [11:01] shayel, i meant global fonts [11:01] is it only giving you issues in firefox?

[11:29] GNOME is bloated as well. For a person using a decade old PC I personally use openbox [11:30] i have an old one lying arouns here in a closet ... thought i could put it to use [11:31] One option if you have an old computer and a modern computer is to use the old one as a thin client with LTSP.

All the programs actually run on the "server" (your faster PC) and display over the network to the thin client.

[11:36] n3rV3: how do I? [11:36] I know that path is right because I wrote that bit down. However, that file does exist. And the system then goes on to boot. [11:37] Oh wait.. perhaps it's talking about the initrd rather than the real file system? [11:38] I do get a really wierd text mode splash screen which may or may not be connected... not the normal scrolling text, but a text version of the ubuntu 10.10 logo with dots underneath (which are "."s on this) [11:38] PredaGR, you can use System -> Adminis -> Synaptic [11:39] go there remove current package and install older evolution [11:39] n3rV3: thanks [11:39] hi, I'm looking for a (gnome) screensaver that shows cpu and memory usage.

[14:43] ok [14:44] hi, some1 can explain me, why me computer is making dns request before every single ping? [14:44] hi [14:47] i was using the noveau driver removed it installed the nvidia driver from the site and now it's broke how can i active the noveua driver again ? [14:47] btw gamerpro2000 you can create the file and it will work, you need to chek the new syntax though [14:48] Hello, it's me again ! [14:48] Benkinooby: well theoretically ping should resolve the hostname at every ping, but hands that job over to the resolver. so it does a lookup, but just locally. [14:48] what [14:48] george1, are you sure its broke [14:48] Anyone here who's got a damn slow system after upgrading to 10.10 ? [14:48] Can anybody help me ?... something is wrong with my Document Viewer (evince) --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/667752 [14:48] Bouazza: negative. what exactly is slow? or slow in general? [14:49] i'm got fast [14:49] hehe Bouazza i stopped upgrading my system since 7.10 [14:49] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, my look ups were not done locally [14:49] i do fresh installs now [14:49] Dr_Willis, no joy with ntfs-confg, any other thoughts ? [14:49] @Cmdr_W_T_Riker: random freezes, the mouse moves slowly after a while etc... [14:49] Benkinooby: perhaps the hostname you're looking up has a very low TTL [14:50] which your resolver honours and does a look up each time [14:50] Bouazza: is there some I/O going on? perhaps updates installing? [14:51] @Cmdr_W_T_Riker: no I don't think so . But for the I/O, yes I think, I saw an %iowait of 30~40% [14:51] I'm currently trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a fresh clean disk. I've booted the alternative dvd on the box and can't find the option for partitioning an encrypted LVM on the disk. can someone please help me out on this one? I've searched Google and found mostly SEO sites without any helping info. [14:51] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, google.com? ... i doubt... also i have a lot of ipv6-dns querries. somehow by inner ubunut-sense blames them. if you have wireshark, can you verify the tremendous number of ip46-dns querries for me? [14:52] qnrq: the install will partition your disks [14:53] qnrq, partitioning will happen during install as george1 said. if you really want to do it before, use fdsik and mk2fs [14:53] qnrq, you'll have to install lvm onto the live cd and then do the partitioning [14:53] could be a bit tricky though [14:53] Benkinooby: I'm at the partition stage of the installation process. I'm trying to avoid pre-partitioning :-) [14:54] qnrq: then select manual nothing hard about it [14:54] n3rV3: oh, so basically I have to boot into the livecd environment first and partition from there before installing? [14:54] hey how do i flush the dns cache? [14:54] george1: I did, but I can't find the LVM option anywhere under there [14:54] * george1 facepalm [14:54] dude, whack the DVD in, and run the install script [14:54] simples. === Arsanerit is now known as Arsanerit|Work [14:54] qnrq, boot cd, install lvm on the live os, partition system, then go ahead with hdd install [14:55] george1: it would be simple if there was an LVM option in the partition process [14:55] george1, he wants lvm [14:55] qnrq: i don't use ubuntu. [14:55] george1: the attitude is really uncalled for. if you think it's exhausting then please don't reply to my questions :-) [14:55] qnrq: lol calm down kid. [14:56] george1: I am calm, I just think it's a bit unreasonable to "facepalm" and rant about how "hard it could be". [14:56] n3rV3: thanks, I'll try partitioning from the live environment [14:56] ok [14:57] qnrq: You're using ubuntu and complaining about meanial things, the distro is designed for idiots for gods sake.

[15:00] ubottu: plz ban george1 [15:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:00] george1, please, mind the attitude. ubuntu isn't "designed for idiots", and if some of the questions here seem to trivial, you don't have to answer them if you don't want to [15:01] qnrq: I was sat in here for reasons you don't need to know, what's relevant is clearly your an idiot.

I tried using a live cd with GParted, but when i shrink partition one, it gives me free space which i can not put to the second partition side. how can i do that?

[16:08] LjL, yes it does, i'm talking about cli though [16:09] SpiritsInside, gparted, shring windwos, expand extended expand linux partition inside expanded extended [16:09] goltoof, it does? where is it? === aidrocsid is now known as Pigshapedninjast [16:09] SpiritsInside, well...in that case make a parition in that free space and make it extended so it'll belong to extended partition from parimary.

[16:25] exactly [16:25] BlaDe^, port 22 is reserved for ssh ..maybe adifferent port will work [16:25] Pici can we use that with Rsync? [16:25] areous or somthing? [16:25] jpds, ja i know [16:25] BlaDe^: nautilus sftp://ip-address [16:25] if I want to report a translation fault, should I file a bug? [16:25] Osmosis: Yes. Use the -e argument to specify the ssh command. [16:25] does exist a monitor for apache server for ubuntu 10.10? a counterpart of mysql administrator for mysql [16:25] Kartagis: yes [16:25] of course Kartagis if you want to help ubuntu [16:26] Kartagis: bug-buddy [16:26] o [16:26] my ubuntu 10.10 install on a Sony vaio Z (I think well known for horrible Linux support?) boots into a blank screen. The graphics in the installer worked without any extra options. [16:26] Krishandu, already know vim :) [16:26] juk: it says ssh program unexpectedly exited when I do that [16:26] Kartagis: provide the proper translation also in the bug report [16:26] BlaDe^, sorry, ignore my post [16:26] no problem BluesKaj [16:26] BlaDe^: pastebin in/output [16:26] archlich, already know vim.... but how would you go about it from command line [16:26] It does book correctly, when I disable the quite and splash options it scrolls through the boot messages, but seems to go blank when starting Xorg.. [16:26] goltoof, then use it, it supports everything you mentioned. And most powerfull CLI editor [16:27] it also does not respond to numlock and capslock keys anymore, so I think Xorg actually crashes the machine [16:27] is Compiz 0.9.2 ready for maverick? [16:27] juk_: if I execute it via commandline no errors come up, but nautilus is launched and says"Error: ssh program unexpectedly exited, Please select another viewer and try again." [16:27] goltoof, vi /etc/configfile [16:27] Pici thank you very much [16:27] Krishnandu, archlich, sed ? [16:28] BlaDe^: what exactly executing? [16:28] i have a network-connected all in one.. printing and scanning work great.. i should be able to also fax (drivers for it already installed), but for that i'd need to set up some sort of a client interface and gfax sure as hell ain't workin'... what are my alternatives?

[16:29] IdleOne, ist there another ubuntu tweaker for ubutnu named areous or somthing close? [16:30] thanks all [16:30] archlich, to edit files quickly... say i know the line of text i want to edit, i just want to change one number on like 268, etc.. why should i have to open vim, navigate to that line, edit and exit? [16:30] Hey guys how to change the default address of pastebinit to http://paste.ubuntu.com rather than using -b everytime?? [16:30] kpoorman, I believe xbindkeys [16:30] ratterz_: no idea. I don't use those 3rd party tweak apps [16:30] ok ty [16:30] coz_: so there's no system wide way to do it? [16:30] archlich, i'm just asking if theres a way to specify the line in the file i want to edit, and the number i want to replace [16:30] golf you can probably do that with echo >> and a replace ? [16:30] goltoof, ah ok, yes you can use sed with inline replace [16:30] Pici, how do you said it to use this option in the rsync????? [16:30] When are the 9.04 repositories going offline? [16:30] goltoof, ya for that I believe you can use sed [16:30] BlaDe^, sed -i is easier [16:30] i have this [16:30] rsync -ave ssh -e StrictHostKeyChecking=no ubuntu@hostname:/home/ubuntu/lcds_cv/ /tmp/lcds_cv/ [16:30] yeah I guess [16:30] kpoorman, well on gnome you can go to system/preferences/keyboard === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [16:31] Osmosis: rsync -e "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" [16:31] ? [16:31] kpoorman, then Layouts tab and then click "Options" button on the bottom [16:31] goltoof, check this out http://archlich.net/content/quickly-delete-changed-host-0 [16:31] coz_: thats what I'm using (gnome) but I can't find the setting === Arsanerit|Work is now known as Arsanerit [16:31] BlaDe^: try sshfs [16:31] kpoorman, look under preferences/keyboard...layouts tab Options button [16:32] Krishnandu, archlich i figured sed, just wondering if there's a better route..

[16:44] currently installed ubuntu am64 and whenever i run Teamspeak 2 or 3 X restarts for no apparent reason. [16:44] IdleOne, not working :( [16:44] my first thaught was it may be a driver issue. so i installed the latest nvidia drivers from there site. still the same isssue. [16:45] so now im thinking maybe its a messed up install ? [16:45] lee_: yes stability of 64bit systems is currently less than those on 32bit machines, this may just be a bug - report it [16:45] coz_: does it work for you ? [16:46] IdleOne: source ~/.bashrc or . ~/.bashrc [16:46] coz_: i'm using one of the aluminum keyboards [16:46] i doub't its a bug. as other people seem to have the exact same os and don't have this issue. if anything it would be an nvidia driver issue surely? [16:46] has anyone ever had an ata4: sata link down error when booting? [16:46] Pici, !/.bashrc [16:46] or maybe the way i setup duel monitors. via the nvidia panel.

[16:47] Pici: thanks [16:47] juk__ i used proprietary and had this issue so downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia. and still have this issue. im thinking maybe i had a bad install or something maybe a reformat and reinstall may help [16:47] Krishnandu: Add your alias to ~/.bashrc and then run source ~/.bashrc [16:47] can anyone help me troubleshoot my apache2.conf? Getting a forbidden error, I've checked file permissions they appear the same as other sites that are working, and my error.log implies a directive.

[16:49] lee, which nvida card? [16:49] gartral|d: @700 MB for a CD or @4.7GB for a DVD [16:49] gartral|d: the size of an iso is not determined by that filesystem, but rather where you're going to write it to [16:49] nvidia [16:49] Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB [16:50] lee_: well, ubuntu devs have got nothing to do with it since it's proprietary [16:50] ok i have 8400 gs 512 mb video and i have no problems here [16:50] Pici, IdleOne Yupiee it's done :) Thanks guys :) [16:50] gartral|d: those are the approximate maximum sizes [16:50] i had ubuntu search for the drivers for me [16:50] Krishnandu: Great [16:50] use current drivers [16:50] guys is it possible to use 'transmission' torrent client in firewall using SSH tunneling [16:50] I want to download some torrents using transmission client from office..

[16:50] Hello all. Could someone point me in the right direction for setting up a "managed" network with Ubuntu? I'm trying to figure out what user management tools Ubuntu has. Kind of like the Linux version of Active Directory, if there is such a thing. [16:50] i have never got my drivers from the nvidia site [16:50] Nubulis_Maximus, yes [16:51] rubydiamond: yes. but where would you tunnel to?

[16:51] Cajun_Lan_Man: New to the linux world also, might OpenLDAP be a choice? [16:51] Nubulis_Maximus, we all do it :-) [16:51] lee_: does mb have onboard vid? [16:51] Nubulis_Maximus, nope. and if it did i would of disabled in bios. [16:51] maxwave3: can you md5sum the iso please? [16:52] IdleOne, Ya :) [16:52] lee_: get paid support from canonical at least [16:52] Nubulis_Maximus, however i do have duel monitors connected via DHCP [16:52] rubydiamond: yeah, but personally I would run the torrent client on your vps and scp the fiiles to your local box [16:52] Pici, Thanks buddy :) [16:52] Praxi, not sure. Looking at it now. [16:52] how to set inclusion numeric keys(numlock) by boot? [16:52] !numlock [16:52] To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [16:52] lee_: was going to say if so, remove vid card and try using onboard to see what happens [16:52] I looked at it briefly, just learning, looked interesting, didn't do everything AD did, but had network authentication [16:52] Pici, IdleOne just in this way if I want ls to generate ls -l everytime I need to make it alias of ls -l right?? [16:53] I thought Ubuntu had numlock on by default now [16:53] maxwave3: I keep trying to write it too usb, and it says it succeeded, but when I boot it throwsme an init error from busybox! [16:53] a compiler is complaining about not having -lsocket. i can't find it on any of two installations. is there an ubuntu lib for socket/connect/bind? [16:53] Krishnandu: Yes. I personally have that aliased to 'll' [16:53] lee_: Regarding teamspeak you may want to try Ventrilo [16:53] IdleOne, i had to install numlockx, it "just worked" after that [16:53] has anyone ever had an ata4: sata link down error when booting? [16:53] Pici, :) So can you say me why pastebinit=' ' not pastebinit= ?? [16:53] rusivi, i can't the guild i raid with in world of warcraft use Teamspeak unforutnatly. [16:53] Pici, I mean why the single quotes..?? Is it for the same reason to execute commands in shell prog?? [16:53] thanks [16:53] Krishnandu: in ~/.bashrc there are already a few aliases you can look at. [16:54] anyone into fail2ban & denyhosts ? [16:54] anyways il be back later to give an update im going to reinstall on a seperate hard drive start at the beginning and find an issue :) [16:54] thanks anyways guys [16:54] gartral|d: the mdsums are located here http://mirrors.cs.wmich.edu/ubuntu-releases//maverick/MD5SUMS [16:54] Krishnandu: doesn't matter for this command. [16:54] CarlFK: see that would just double the usage of bandwidth [16:54] Pici, Okeis... :) [16:54] Krishnandu: pastebinit= is the command 'comannd to perform' [16:54] CarlFK: btw is it practically possible to use ssh tunnel for transmission to access VPS port and continue .. torrenting.. [16:55] maxwave3: is that a text/directory only link? I'm on a sub-dial up connection [16:55] text only [16:55] IdleOne, so we need to mention the commands in between ' ' always right?? Just as we do in shell prog?? [16:56] Krishnandu: yes, as I understand it [16:56] maxwave3: thanks, it looks like the iso is good [16:56] IdleOne, :) [16:57] thanks :) [16:57] does anyone know how to fix the bug with sleep mode in 10.10 [16:58] lee_: Ah, how about Mangler?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:00] Goog_Josh: if it's a bug, there's likely a bug report on it, maybe even a fix, which is where the fix would be located [17:00] !bug | Goog_Josh [17:00] Goog_Josh: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [17:01] maxwave3: but i can still find libgtk2.0 but without the "dev" part [17:01] anyone know how to let ssh report into auth.log [17:01] rubydiamond: but I am not sure. and the more I think about it, the less I am sure.

[17:04] maxwave3: yes you are correct, i just realized that synaptics was not meeting dependcies automatically for me. i'll try install via terminal and see how it goes [17:04] JoeMaverickSett, nothing, the menu is automatically generated in grub2 [17:04] JoeMaverickSett, the menu entries i should say [17:05] c0nv1ct: the problem here is, i'm trying to dual boot ubuntu with ubuntu (the latter being on a separate partition, it's a test system) but i can't boot into that test system :D [17:05] Hi! [17:05] JoeMaverickSett, grub2-setup doesnt find it? [17:06] hi [17:06] c0nv1ct: it just boots into my main Ubuntu. [17:06] howdy [17:06] JoeMaverickSett, i mean update-grub2 [17:07] c0nv1ct: haven't done that yet. should i do it? [17:07] JoeMaverickSett, you can still manually add entries afaik [17:07] did I make a mistake by installing kubuntu? [17:07] When I run this command "vncviewer -listen" Port Scan in Network Tools tells me that 5500 port is open. Why and where could I open ports to see them in Port Scan tool? [17:07] JoeMaverickSett, try it, it wont hurt [17:07] c0nv1ct: ah, okie. :D [17:07] * node808 thinks I should have gone with ubuntu [17:07] JoeMaverickSett, startupmanager doesnt even work for me, gives a glib error [17:08] node808: why would it be a mistake? [17:08] I've used sshfs to mount a remote ftp [17:08] I know VNC uses 5500 to listen for remote connections, but I do not know where VNC open that port, because my firewall is disable. [17:08] but i can't open it, it says permission denied -- I tried chown but that said permission denied to (even with sudo), what can I do? [17:08] if I do sudo ls ~/mount/ it shows the files [17:08] please help. I want to use vnc [17:08] c0nv1ct: i think update-grub2 did it. showing that it found another ubuntu on a partition. gona reboot. thanks btw. :) [17:08] JoeMaverickSett, np [17:09] can anyone help me troubleshoot my apache2.conf? Getting a forbidden error, I've checked file permissions they appear the same as other sites that are working, and my error.log implies a directive. Heres the pastie of my apache2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/521098/ [17:09] m3F: if you have no firewall, what's the problem? [17:09] ey === Mark_ is now known as grid_ [17:09] I am trying to install hydra with apt-get and it gives this error: "hydra: Depends: libgtk2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed". When I try to install libgtk2.0-dev manually, apt-get spits out loads of similar messages: http://pastebin.com/J6NCbBfg [17:10] !vnc | m3F [17:10] m3F: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [17:10] BlaDe^: so it worked [17:10] nearly [17:10] Gnea, the problem is that I do not know where to open a port for Transmission because Transmission tells me that port 6881 is closed. [17:10] Hmm, I got a problem with ubuntu regarding VPN connections. Basically i need to be able to click Point to Point encryption and all the options for it to work. it was working fine yesterday, but now it wont allow me to click PAP and CHAP authetication methods with point to point encryption on, whilst it was yesterday. http://imgur.com/npqTM.png is what I mean. Anyone able to help? [17:11] That means that VNC knows where to open ports and I dont :D [17:11] BlaDe^: hangon i try to mount my cell if it works [17:11] juk__: after I use sshfs the directory goes to d????????? ? ? ? ? ? remote [17:11] and I get permission denied for everything [17:12] I connect to my Ubuntu machine from a Win machine using VNC from a different network......I use wrong password & indeed I do not log in.....but this action does not get logged in auth.log nor the max retries I set in fail2ban gets applied.....I see infinte attempts allowed [17:12] I used sudo sshfs blade@mydomain.net:/ ~/remote -o port=45945 -o idmap=user -o uid=1000 [17:12] m3F: what does transmission have to do with vnc [17:12] Need a bit of help. I am trying to run diablo2 in wine, but my panels are getting in the way. i created a new user, where i want to safely experiment. now before removing panels forom him i want to try with autohide function. however i can not access wine form that user. not really... how do i access the folder from another user so i can use it? i guess my question is how do i get ownership of the folder. [17:12] gregL: chown [17:12] How can i get exchange-mail on Ubuntu ? [17:13] you want to run exchange on Ubuntu? [17:13] BlaDe^: works like charm [17:14] Gnea, I mean, VNC opens the 5500 port when I run vncviewer -listen, VNC knows how to open a port, but transmission does not open ports by itself so I want to know where to open ports in my system. [17:14] juk__: doesn't here [17:14] hi! [17:14] I get permission denied for everything [17:14] I got a problem with my Docky [17:14] BlaDe^: well i have different situation a bit here local yours is remote [17:14] how do I mount my windows partition [17:14] Hi guys. I have just seen a movie about Ubuntu Netbook Edition. My God it's cool. Why wouldn't you use that on an ordinary computer? It's so simple, so easy to use. [17:14] Some one that knows why i got a black route over my Docky :s ? [17:15] m3F: so you want to know what ports transmission opens? [17:15] ls: cannot access /home/martin/remote: Permission denied [17:15] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? remote [17:15] zowki: wow, I've never see an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [17:15] if I do a umount and ls-la then the permissions are fine, I have chown'd it [17:15] BlaDe^: that second line you pasted is unreadable [17:15] tensorpudding: , that's how tia ppears in terminal [17:15] !umount | BlaDe^: [17:15] Gnea, I mean, I want to know how to open ports in my system. I know how to do that in my router, but even if I try to open 6681 port in router, It does not show as an open port when I run Port Scan Tool in Administration/Networks Tools [17:15] are you user martin? [17:15] yes tensorpudding [17:16] what is mounted on remote? [17:16] You may be using the term 'open a port' when you m ean forward a port. [17:16] BlaDe^: whatis umount [17:16] m3F: you would have you use transmission to open the port [17:16] umount (2) - unmount file system [17:16] it's a sftp [17:16] please help! [17:16] How do I get rid of the black box taking up room with docky? [17:16] m3F: help with what? [17:16] Im sad.. my zotac dtx board with built-in realtek r8169 (Gbps) just give me 100 Mbps connection.. I've updated to latest drivers, checked the cable, checked the router. running 10.10 server, but also tried with 10.04 server :( [17:16] christher: turn compositing on I think?

Could your sources list be messed up? [17:17] I have a server install of ubuntu, that boots into runlevel 2.

[17:18] 1.1.4-1ubuntu1, to be precise [17:18] hi hi [17:19] Gnea, yes [17:19] BlaDe^: what does idmap=user do? [17:19] hi there [17:19] what's the version after ubuntu maverick called? [17:19] natty narwhal [17:19] thanks [17:19] m3F: can't be done, transmission doesn't support it, but you can see what ports transmission uses once it's running by using: sudo netstat -nap | grep transmission [17:20] it's a fuse option --- But I have the same issue without it specified [17:20] so a manual compile is inh order [17:20] dan2: #ubuntu+1 [17:20] Gnea, I set transmission to use port 6881. [17:20] m3F: did it work? [17:20] no [17:21] then you didn't set it to use 6881 [17:21] Gnea, because Test port tool in transmission tells me that port is Closed [17:21] is x86_64 the same as amd64 on ubuntu? [17:21] m3F: which is why you need to use netstat [17:21] !pm ILov [17:22] Gnea, what is Netstat? [17:22] !pm | ILov [17:22] ILov: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:22] m3F: the program i told you about. please to be paying attention. [17:22] I'd like to move/copy my /var to its own partition. Copying using gparted (LiveCD), and then changing the fstab should be sufficient? [17:23] maxwave3: other packages seem fine, i just successfully installed nethack as a test [17:23] glaucous: make sure you preserve permissions, but it's that simple [17:23] maxwave3: i should note that hydra is from an external repository [17:24] tensorpudding: any ideas? [17:25] Gnea, I ran that command while running Transmission. [17:25] ikonia, that is the main problem. Will making a partition copy using gparted preserve permissions? [17:25] m3F: that's nice. [17:25] zowki: I'm familiar with hydra and its need for gtk for xhydra. without it, you will be limited to command line [17:26] Gnea, But I do not know how to read that information. [17:26] Gnea, I do not understand those lines [17:26] hi [17:26] glaucous: how can you make a "partition copy"? /var is *not* on its own partition now, right? So maybe you should use tar or rsync instead... [17:26] alkisg, ehum.. that's a good point [17:26] glaucous: one way, out of many: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [17:27] alkisg, yes I think rsync should be able to preserve permissions with some argument [17:27] anyone how to fix the problem when the network just gives 100 Mbps, even I have a 1 Gbps card (realtek r8169)? drivers are newest, cable works (gives 1 Gbps with my other computer). ethtool says my card can do 1 Gbps, but the other part advice link speed of 100 Mbps :/ [17:27] glaucous: sudo rsync -av should do it [17:27] whats the command to check permissions? ls -l ? [17:27] m3F: use it without grep: sudo netstat -nap [17:28] Gnea, This is very confusing. Transmission Test Port tool tells me that 6881 is closed. But Administration/Network Tools/PortScan tells me that 6881 is open. I am lost. [17:28] can I use Ubuntu server to manage other computers on the network? [17:28] alkisg, do I dare doing this on current Ubuntu, or should I logon to a LiveCD to do it? [17:29] glaucous: I'm not sure, so I'd do it from a live cd to be sure that no files are in use [17:29] m3F: which is why you need to learn how netstat works. if you read the top of it, it tells you what information in each column is being represented. [17:29] zowki: do you have anything extra in your sources.list? If so, could you disable it, run sudo apt-get update and than try again. [17:30] how to find out size of file? [17:30] alkisg, I'll go with that, thanks [17:30] how to find out size of file? [17:30] someone have idea why my mousecursor-size changes on hovering over different icons on my taskbar? [17:30] Gnea, tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6881 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21368/transmission [17:30] by right button? [17:30] anyone here using irssi ? , i was wondering if anyone happen to know where the logs are stored on ubu10 and ubu9 [17:30] maxwave3: my only extra repository is the backtrack repository which i am trying to install hydra from [17:30] DGodNT: ~/irclogs [17:30] good morning #ubuntu! [17:31] Is it possible to specify a port with gvfs-mount ? [17:31] m3F: yes, and if you look at the very top, like this: sudo netstat -nap | head -n3 [17:31] anyone want to help me with a quick little script? I shut off gdm so I can boot to console, I want to auto-start default gnome session once the user logs in [17:31] Gnea, http://pastebin.ca/1975633 [17:31] zowki: maybe you have some package installed that conflicts with what you're trying to install now, try with aptitude or with synaptic, but check what they're going to perform before going on [17:31] m3F: you can see that transmission is LISTENing on port 6881 using the tcp protocol [17:32] found them thanks :) === anirudhr1989 is now known as anirudhr [17:32] I have enabled remote desktop, but when I view via VNC from another computer I can see the mouse moving, but none of the effects of the mouse (moving windows, opening menus) [17:32] m3F: the key is to LISTEN :) [17:32] does anyone know how to clear the error and access logs? [17:32] Phrogz: did you enable "read only" vnc? [17:33] Gnea, I am starting to understand. LISTEN tells me that port is open. [17:33] alkisg: Yes, but this happens both ways, and I'm moving the mouse on the computer itself (not the mouse of the remote viewing machine) [17:33] Gnea, then: 6881 is open [17:33] щл === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [17:33] лещ [17:33] проглоти леща [17:33] Guest34103: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:34] Phrogz: which vnc? vino-server? [17:34] m3F: correct. :) [17:34] whats the command to check permissions? ls -l ? [17:34] alkisg: Remotely I'm using RealVNC on Windows 7; on Ubuntu I'm using whatever you get when you turn on Remote Desktop [17:35] Gnea, But I remember I used to run Test Port tool in Transmission and It used to tell me when a port was open. [17:35] Phrogz: I had that problem on a windows desktop, the VNC server was set to inputs only [17:35] Phrogz: hmmm sounds like an incompatibility somewhere, but I haven't seen that bug. I'd try with a different server and/or client, e.g. x11vnc, tightvnc etc [17:35] Gnea, now I run that tool in Transmission and It tells me that 6881 is closed. [17:36] Phrogz: err view input only, sorry hit enter too soon [17:36] Gnea, that is why I am confused. [17:36] at this time, it can not refresh the partition table after it modifies it, so you will need to change the partitions, then quit gparted, then run dmraid -ay from the command prompt to detect the new partitions, and then restart gparted before you can format the partitions. ... can someone explain to me what this means :D [17:36] mouse looked like it was moving on my end, but I couldn't click or anything [17:36] Praxi: Even when moving and clicking the mouse physically connected on the Ubuntu box you didn't see the effects over VNC? [17:36] its off of this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto#Optional: Resize your Windows partition [17:36] Phrogz: correct [17:36] m3F: that's because transmission is a torrent client, not a proper port scanning utility [17:37] Gnea, ok. [17:37] alkisg: Will try, thanks. [17:37] it was a while ago, but if I remember correctly, someone had flipped the windows box from using the INI file to using the registry [17:37] m3F: this is why netstat works great. nmap is another awesome utility. [17:37] Praxi: I'll have to look into what that setting means, then, because that sounds weird. [17:37] Folks, if I want to make root and homeuser never to be asked for sudo password, what should type in sudoers file (it's htpc so I don't care about security, I'm having problems with some bash scripts because of permissions) [17:37] thx === Guest34103 is now known as assentrop [17:37] I need some help with my Cyborg R.A.T mouse on Ubuntu 10.04. I have managed to get the mouse working, but I am having troubles with a certain feature - the precision aim button. [17:37] The R.A.T has a button that drastically reduces the DPI of the mouse when held down, and making it go back to normal when released - great for precision work. However, naturally... it does not work in Ubuntu. [17:38] its a view only, makes it so you can see, not interact, it can be set at both the client and the server Phrogz [17:38] Decided to triple boot my netbook. Installed XP, then Windows 7, then Ubuntu. Can boot into W7 and Ubuntu 10 but XP is not showing in the boot menu. How would I fix this? XP is listed by fdisk as /dev/sda1, W7 is sda2 and Ubuntu is /sda3 === assentrop is now known as assheader [17:38] So naturally.. I want this quick-switch button to work as designed. [17:38] Gnea, now I have to learn to use VNC. Because I wnat it to help somebody from here. And I can open ports here, but that somebody does not know how to do that out there. [17:38] either one of them set to that will cause it [17:38] m3f get teamviewer [17:38] Praxi: But if I'm interacting even on the box itself, with the keyboard, I can see the changes happening on the physical monitor connected to the box, but not over VNC. It's like it caches a static image of the desktop, but keeps updating the mouse. [17:38] StaRetji: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo (last paragraph) [17:39] I know I can map the button to change the mouse sensitivity. However, the critical thing here is reducing the DPI/sensitivity (either will work), while the button is HELD DOWN - and automatically getting it back to normal when it's released. [17:39] Gnea, thank you very much! [17:39] m3F: personally, I prefer freenx over vnc [17:39] m3F: you're welcome, cheers [17:39] can someone tell me how to write a script that starts a default gnome session when a user logs in? gdm is diabled [17:39] ahhh, ran into that too hehe [17:39] Phrogz: ive seen that issue with the GNOME vino vncserver. but not with tightvnc. or vnc4server.. never did see a fix for it. [17:39] that was "Full Screen Polling" that fixed it for me Phrogz [17:39] Dr_Willis: Hrm, thanks. [17:39] ubunuub: why not let gdm autologin for them? it can even relogin after a crash i recall. [17:39] Praxi: On the viewer or server? [17:40] Server [17:40] but again I think that could be set either way [17:40] thx alkisg, is this the only line that should remain in sudoers file? homeuser ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL and root ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [17:40] ubunuub: if they must login via console.. you could set their .bashrc or .profile to check and 'startx' if X is not going.. but that can be annoying === Bobsworth` is now known as Bobsworth [17:40] StaRetji: put it at the end of the file while keeping the original contents [17:40] okay, thank you very much [17:41] dr_willis: why can that be annoying? does it cause problems? [17:41] Phrogz: most of my experience was with Tightvnc too, had a few RealVNC clients, tight just had a lot more options, think I settled on UltraVNC on my windows boxes though :) [17:41] I am having a problem downloading files, I keep getting this as the problem http://pastebin.com/NuGvwq5x [17:41] ubunuub: what if you want to use the console.. it tries to startx, you go to consokle #2. login to do somthing.. it tries AGAIn to startx.... [17:41] hello folks, i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 but it seems the installer won't launch from the live, is there any way i could skip the loading of the live os and get direcly to the installer? [17:41] ubunuub: it can get very annoying - [17:41] when I try the same file on another computer it is fine [17:41] ubunuub: you ssh in... it might try to startx... [17:42] in the node page, how do i access the node object? [17:42] dr_willis: ah i see. The gui users aren't going to need to run on more than one vty [17:42] Tjkent: how are you trying to download the file, and whats the URL? I'm an ubuntu noob, but have some experience downloading using wget on my server hehe [17:43] it is any file [17:43] torrent, zip, you name it I can't get it [17:43] ubunuub: perhaps.. perhaps not... [17:43] are you trying to download it off the web? [17:43] yea [17:43] using a browser? [17:43] yes [17:43] Hello guys. [17:43] I have a little problem when trying to install Maple 13 via terminal. I got my .bin file in Downloads/ [17:43] First off i type in: chmod +x name_of_file.bin [17:43] Then second i type: sudo ./name_of_file.bin [17:43] But when it is trying to launch the installer it says: [17:43] /tmp/install.dir.2543/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [17:43] christianiv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:43] What cause this problem, and how should i fix it? [17:43] dr_willis: where is .profile located on maverick? if you would be so kind [17:43] what browser Tjkent ? [17:44] firefox [17:44] ubunuub: users home dir. has the .STUFF [17:44] sounds like a permissions problem, but I don't know enough about that, maybe get chrome and see if the problem persists? [17:44] ubunuub: one of those .Somthign files is only read on a LOGIN shell.. so that makes it a little easier. [17:44] dr_willis: awesome thanks i will see what i can do now, thanks for the help [17:44] FYI, TightVNC doesn't fix it, regardless (AFAICT) of connection settings. Even pressing "Request Screen Refresh" doesn't pull new VNC. So I guess I have to figure out how to configure or change the VNC server on ubuntu.

Where in etc would I change it to boot into 5 (x-windows), or otherwise automatically start X on boot [17:46] Tjkent: seeings how no one else is responding, just try chrome as a browser just to see if it works, alternatively from a terminal, use wget to see if it works?

[17:51] BluesKaj: yes [17:51] BluesKaj: I have one on my network [17:52] ardian: open the Settings menu in the Update Manager, and disable Check for Updates [17:52] ardian: you risk the security of your system by not enabling it though [17:53] I installed the netbook version of Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro and it installed fine. However, on the first boot I got an error message about Unity not working properly and I ignored it at first. I've gotten everything else to work properly except that I can't figure out how to get Unity working again. Does anyone know how to get Unity working again? [17:53] hello how do i run .net applications? [17:53] alkisg: I hope you don't mind if I ask one more question. Is there a way to make homeuser to have root privileges like root user. Again, all of this coz I have problems with bash script, it wont execute something due permissions. Thx === acidflash_ is now known as acidflash [17:53] do i need mono or something? [17:53] StaRetji: run that script with sudo in front [17:53] uLinux: You can run certain .NET applications with Mono. [17:53] well darrend your proxy should direct the request from apt deb url in your sources.list to the proper server [17:53] tensorpudding: thanks = ] [17:53] uLinux: but only if they only use libraries that Mono supports === mk is now known as Guest34128 [17:54] alkisg: I would, but it is in /etc/init.d/ and it runs on startup [17:54] tensorpudding: i tried "sudo apt-get install mono" it's not in repos [17:54] StaRetji: if it's on /etc/init.d then I suppose it already runs as root, unless it switches to a specific user id [17:54] Hi guys, what's wrong with my regexp here: find -type f | xargs sed -i ’s/\$_SESSION[\'logged\']/{logged}/g’ ? [17:55] uLinux: the package might not be called mono [17:55] mono-devel? === weasel__ is now known as caveman [17:55] uLinux: try grabbing mono-complete or mono-devel [17:56] alkisg: only thing I'm using here is sudo -u root in some lines. could it be the problem actually? [17:56] uLinux: mono-runtime is probably needed for running Mono apps. [17:56] Dr_Willis, 5th disc trying now ;p [17:56] tensorpudding: it's installing mono-complete [17:56] DVD ones ;[ [17:56] * techdj1 is away: I'm busy [17:56] StaRetji: you've made own script? You don't need to use sudo in an /etc/init.d script, you're already root [17:56] is it possible to make a dedicated grub partition with ubuntu [17:56] i am prolly just an idiot as it has nothing to do with the burning, i will find out eventually [17:57] BlaDe^, brackets denote single characters, you need to escape them [17:57] mark7845: yes, from the ubiquity partitioning step [17:57] who thinks that hibernate on linux deserves some serious attention from canonical and other heavy-weight linux giants [17:57] mark7845: you can make a separate partition for /boot, which is where grub stores its stuff [17:57] archlich: just the square brackets ? [17:57] !away techdj1 [17:57] alkisg: yes, my own script, thx for clarifying that to me, I guess I will delete it from the script and try again. Also, does it matter if it is #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh My own is #!/bin/bash === administrator is now known as Guest70749 [17:57] it still doesn't seem to execute - it just goes to a new line (like it's expecting more input) === Guest70749 is now known as shoxmaster [17:58] BlaDe^: i'm wondering what exactly you're trying to do. Should the content of the files from find be fed as input for sed? [17:58] pankajm: yes, but imo a fast boot compensates, also don't run polls [17:58] StaRetji: it needs to be bash if you're using bash features. /bin/sh is usually used to be more posix-compiant, but for home scripts that doesn't matter much [17:58] just a search/replace Cmdr_W_T_Riker [17:58] BluesKaj: yes, normally it works fine, but update-manager seems to be ignoring it for the distribution upgrade and goes direct to canonical servers [17:58] but I need it to be recursive for all sub directories [17:59] alkisg: thanx once again, it's really appreciated ;) [17:59] I am buying a new computer and have no clue about what video card would would need. A must have is dual monitor support at 1600x1200 through dvi. 3D-wise I would like to run xplane very smoothly an the full monitor resolution with high graphics settings; any recommendations? [17:59] will the ubuntu installer allow you to specify which partition to install grub? what happens if I want to install another linux distro, won't this automatically overwrite grub?

[17:59] #bash [17:59] hey resno [17:59] ?anyone sinusoid [18:00] BlaDe^: you could maybe do it with perl, as "find ./ -type f | perl -pi.bak -e 's/$_SESSION[\'logged\']/\{logged\}/g'" --- i haven't tested this, just a copy paste from your sed [18:00] how can I make a command run when I get disconnected from the internet? [18:00] corecode: right click panel, add indicator applet ? [18:00] uLinux: do i use the nv driver or the proprietary one? [18:00] BluesKaj: it's update-manager that has overwritten my sources.list for the upgrade [18:00] pankajm: it doesn't, but its not for everyone, i don't do elongated processes like rendering or compiling etc [18:00] uLinux, some nvidia cards aren't well suported by the latest drivers even, stay away from the 8400gs [18:00] !anyone | sinusoid [18:00] sinusoid: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[18:00] uLinux: i have indicator applet [18:00] want to see if its possible to create a script that uses wget to send an incrementing cookie value in a loop [18:01] dr_willis: that worked perfectly. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [18:01] If I set my GRUB2 timeout to 0 does that mean it won't show unless I hold shift? If not, how do I make it not show unless I hold shift :P [18:01] uLinux: but it doesn't show the network manager [18:01] Cmdr_W_T_Riker: sorry i'm a perl amateur... it produces: -bash: find ./ -type f | perl -pi.bak -e 's/[\'logged\']/\{logged\}/g': No such file or directory [18:01] and then pull the out put into a file .... which I can figure out [18:01] blade: is perl installed? [18:01] darrend, then edit your /etc/apt/sources list and stop using update manager, personally I would deletye it if possible [18:01] uLinux: I have read that has no 3D acceleration, which I assume is required to play xplane with a good frame rate [18:01] Decided to triple boot my netbook. Installed XP, then Windows 7, then Ubuntu. Can boot into W7 and Ubuntu 10 but XP is not showing in the boot menu. How would I fix this?

Is there any way to redirect or filter these? [18:02] any Ubuntu 10.4 (32 Bit) expert here ?

[18:13] Tree-House: thats likely a wine issue. [18:13] Tree-House: try runnign the application 'windowed' instead of full screen.. or visa versa. [18:13] the problem with wine, is that you have to give a game profiles [18:14] resno: I have infinite trial attempts on the PC I use to hack while it should be only 3.....the IP of that PC is never banned......the hacking action does not show on auth.log [18:14] Tree-House: theres also ways to give an app a 'windows desktop' in a window for problem apps.

[18:30] nubuntu: I think your cursor skipped around a bit. Rephrase, please? :) [18:30] sympt0m: its your filebrowser [18:30] BluesKaj: here is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/521548/ [18:30] umm why wouldnt you run nautilus as root? [18:30] oh... [18:30] actually, to get technical, it's a super user command, and not root. but that's OK. [18:30] ah so, it sayswhat is nautilus [18:30] nubuntu: it will reset parts of the config as root for owner [18:30] cmyrland: youll need to get the 32bit os. i dont think you can run 32bit progs in a 64bit os [18:30] hello [18:31] hi I created live cd with uNetbootin om my flash drive but it doesnt work at all, where can be problem? [18:31] nubuntu: you can, its just tricky [18:31] i have a problem: i have a notebook with intel 945 (gma950) graphics card and lucid. I installed video-intel drivers, and opengl seems to work (glxgears work) [18:31] SpiderFred, what distro? [18:31] nubuntu: sorry, but you're wrong :) You can run 32 bit programs in a 64-bit environment.. I just haven't compiled it before [18:31] it didn't work [18:31] when i run qt opengl examples or python opengl, i always get segfault [18:31] what channel should go to get advice anbout drives? [18:32] from Russia есть? [18:32] also qtdemo executable segfaults [18:32] sympt0m, lucid [18:32] whiteguysamurai: see, I'm not the only one having trouble with unetbootin [18:32] gartral|p: do you have experience with building 32 bit programs in a 64 bit env.? [18:32] as long as you don't make changes to the underlining system, you are free to use a super user command. [18:32] hmm. lucid should be compatible with unetbootin, why not install maverick instead? [18:32] cmyrland: google it man [18:32] i didn't write it, i've just had luck with it in the past [18:33] any idea? [18:33] sympt0m, ok I ll try [18:33] nubuntu: I've tried, but there are tons of various sites and they're mostly general.. and I don't have time to sit down and learn how everything works. [18:33] i'm i allowed to curse in here [18:34] cmyrland: it would best to go back to a windoz box then [18:34] FunkyDude, example: sudo cp ~/pictures/funnypic.jpg ~/desktop [18:34] that should work [18:34] cmyrland: yea.. needless to say its a pain. You're honestly better off just reinstalling with 32bit and going from there [18:34] hey everyone. I've got an ALSA soundcard that gives me a crapload of console messages. Is there any way to filter what appears in your console / turn off messages from a service? [18:34] ok, i didn't use a tilda, will try [18:34] sympt0m, btw what file system should I use on that flash drive,? [18:34] Can someone help me with the usb disk maker? The 'make startup disk' button will not light up! [18:34] fat32 [18:35] @ SpiderFred [18:35] Sylphid, eh is it the same as msdos? [18:35] if i remember correctly, theres an option in unetbootin to format the drive, but if there isnt, then fat32 is what you want [18:36] nubuntu: no need to get cocky. I haven't used Windows in 3 or 4 years.. However, it's a tribute to Ubuntus user-friendlyness that I almost never have to compile anything since it's already there! [18:36] hello all [18:36] hi [18:36] has any one got time to answer a noob question? [18:36] the best kinds of questions [18:36] just ask =] [18:36] nah, that didn't seem to work either, i tried alt+F2, then check "in terminal" i ran this... sudo cp ~/home/mike/Downloads/actionscript3.lang ~/usr/share/gtkscourceview-2.0/language-specs/ [18:36] Uraken: aks ! [18:37] cmryland: dude im not getting cocky im stating the obvious. *nix is not for those who lack a desire to know EVERYTHING. [18:37] FunkyDude, ~ is your home folder [18:37] i am trying to install flash into edubuntu [18:37] actually, i think i have a typo, 1 sec [18:37] no joy so far [18:37] Uraken, don't ask to ask :) [18:37] uraken: use the package manager to flash-nonfree-plugin and flash-extra sound [18:38] wow, dislexia strikes o.O [18:38] uraken: also google ubuntu restricted extras. youll want that also [18:38] thanks nubuntu will give it a go [18:38] there are so many automated ways to install flash, it's insane. [18:38] do i jsust search the package manager? [18:39] yes [18:39] look for restricted extras. [18:39] oh you could also install ubuntu tweak, and that has them and more. [18:39] youll need to add the css thing too. i got that from googling ubuntu restricted extras. on the first link there is a script for cascading style sheets [18:39] * ironsight installed ultimate edition since it came with flash/restricted extras/chrome out of the box :/ [18:40] ok how can i restart sound service without rebootin the kernel ? [18:40] logging out [18:40] ok so i tried this, but still didn't work... sudo cp ~/mike/Downloads/actionscript3.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ [18:40] or restarting the gtk [18:40] why gedit has it consumed large amount of memory? [18:40] killall -9 pulseaudio && pulseaudio ? [18:40] isn't there an easier way to copy files, like can i log in as root or something, this is getting to be a pain to run commands every time i need to copy files around [18:41] why do you need to copy as root? [18:41] FunkyDude, ~ is your home folder, so it would be sudo cp mike/downloads/actionscript3.lang usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs [18:41] my computer seems to have lost my disc drive. i doesnt show up with the lspci command. how would put the firmware back into my bios without flashing them? [18:41] because most the folders i need to copy things too, are registered to the "root" user [18:41] anyone correct me if im wrong [18:41] please ;D [18:41] whiteguysamurai, whever you copy outside of your home folder you need root permissions [18:41] nubuntu do i install the whole restricted packages or can i pick and choose (flash only(? [18:42] can't figure out why my netbook won't boot off of an ubuntu usb stick. the boot order is all set, all of the quick boot stuff is disabled, and the image is written properly and boots my iMac. any ideas? [18:42] what are you copying? [18:42] uraken: youll want that whole package. its for playing restricted or copyrited dvds [18:42] whiteguysamurai, this is to prevent you harming your system (or rogue apps) [18:42] are you sure that the boot order is set in bios? [18:42] no kidding, what are you copying? === shcherba1 is now known as shcherbak [18:42] nope, still no worky :o( [18:42] hello guys [18:42] brilliant thanks for your help [18:42] perhaps the usb stick is not compatible somehow [18:43] me? nothing, I was answering your question [18:43] sympt0m: absolutely sure. it's telling me to insert a bootable disk [18:43] why gedit has it consumed large amount of memory? I've opened a file with size 10MB. After 5 hour, its size rise up to 1GB. what is it going on? [18:43] hmm, maybe my syntax is off, try googling linux terminal copy files [18:43] seems a whole lot of indians, and no chiefs here. [18:44] dajxd, what program did you use to make the usb bootable? [18:44] novato_br, it sounds like you found a memory leak perhaps, you should report it to launchpad [18:44] syntax language files so i can see syntax highlighting in gedit, or another case is trying to copy files around into my htdocs folder so i can test website files [18:44] sympt0m: i just wrote the iso with diskutil in os x [18:44] with dd, rather. [18:44] whiteguysamurai, heh, I didn't even see any arrows ...no cheifs , just us helpers [18:45] try using the usb boot utility on the ubuntu website, im sure they have a mac version [18:45] can anyone help me copy a file to a folder lol [18:45] didn't know such a thing existed! thanks. [18:45] ? lol [18:45] ok how can i restart sound service without rebootin the kernel ? [18:45] you say it boots your mac correct? when you create the boot disk in mac does it use osx format [18:45] trojan, if i don't laugh, i go insane [18:45] FunkyDude: you need to give the output of the command if it failed.. simply saying 'still no worky' is very vague [18:46] ironsight, thank you [18:46] murlidhar, logout and back in [18:46] what about an insane laugh? [18:46] Uraken: the disk format is "rockridge" [18:46] will that satisfy you? [18:46] murlidhar: Why you need this? [18:46] FunkyDude, open the source file , right click on the folder , choose copy , open target folder right click in it , paste. [18:46] murlidhar, sound pref , hardware , ( move up n down profile,) [18:46] murlidhar, or you can try killall -9 pulseaudio && pulseaudio [18:47] thanks [18:47] blueskaj, i can't because the folder i want to copy to is root access [18:47] Is there any application that can run commands based on key events (such as pressing and releasing a specific mouse button)? [18:47] do you have second usb drive to try and create a boot disk on the netbook? [18:47] FunkyDude, terminal type 'sudo nautilus' [18:48] Like CCSM's commands plugin, but with support for pressing/releasing buttons - not just pressing buttons [18:48] how do i paste things in irc again? [18:48] like so it doesnt flood [18:48] right click on the folder choose permissions , and choose write , also make it exectable , FunkyDude [18:48] then u can copy into it.. be careful tho [18:48] ironsight, is there anyway to set amount of memory that gedit can use?

[18:48] i can't blueskaj, b/c i'm not the root user [18:48] novato_br, I haven't a clue :( [18:48] trojan_spike, thanks, so that temporarly lets me access files as root?

[19:08] I tried to upgrade to maverick now boot hangs with "mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /lib/init/rw mountall: mount /lib/init/rm [123] terminated with status 1." Any ideas? [19:08] how can I set a maximum amount of memory to gedit use it? [19:08] EagleScreen: it's registered, but do you login to nickserv when you connect? [19:08] !hi | novato_br [19:08] Is there any real difference between Ubuntu and MythUbuntu, other then Myth having some integrated applications? [19:08] EeveeTrainer ? [19:08] bastidrazor: Installing linux-image-generic will always depend on the latest kernel version available. [19:08] Confirming that unetbootin will not properly create a bootable usb disk [19:08] clergyman: are you positive yo uhave the correct kernel versions? i'm not finding 2.6.35-25 anywhere. [19:08] EeveeTrainer: it means without a monitor and input device most normally [19:09] Lars_G: yes, I have set Quasel uo for it [19:09] Lars_G, : i'll try it thanx....and by the way.....will it be the same if i'm doin wireless but connecting same router with the lan network? [19:09] Pici: understood, i was trying to figure what version is the latest.. 2.6.35-22 or -25 [19:09] EagleScreen: I've changed to using my password as network password during connect. nickserv identifying scripts usually were slower than autojoins in my case :) [19:10] noob-tux: it will, if the router bridges wlan and lan, which they usually do [19:10] I am trying to do a for loop, to execute a php script 10 times, what is wrong here? for i in {0..9} do time php ie.php done; [19:10] bastidrazor: 2.6.35-22.35 or 2.6.35-23.36 if you have -proposed enabled. [19:10] Lars_G: how to do it? [19:10] Pici: thank you. [19:10] afeijo: I think you need a ';' before 'done' [19:10] testing [19:10] EagleScreen: when you setup the server in your client, set your nickserv password as the server's password [19:10] Lars_G, : it did...but i have 17pc here but it only detects 4 IP's [19:10] nops [19:10] afeijo: you also need one after {0..9} [19:11] noob-tux: that does a ping (icmp) scan, it's possible the other machines do not respond to ping [19:11] clergyman: -25 is not an available version from the repositories. [19:11] yeah! thanks quidnunc trism [19:11] bastidrazor: Oh.. I'm being thick! I'm so sorry! I didn't notice 2.6.32 vs 2.6.35! [19:11] trism++ [19:11] strange i got redirected form ubuntu to ubuntu-unreged even though im registered with Nickserv on network logon :S [19:11] quidnunc++ [19:12] nubuntu you still here? [19:12] If Wubi gives error "Cannot retrieve installation files" at the very end of installation, does it remove the 99.9% of what it has already downloaded? [19:12] Lars_G, : i see thanx man....that's sweet [19:12] bastidrazor: So I guess that changes my question to, how do I install the headers for linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic ? [19:12] anyone ever seen this. ubuntu 10.10 dual boot with windows. i loaded the nvidia display drivers and ubuntu works great. then i moved around/resized some partitions, and while grub loads ubuntu and i get the login prompt and can log in, i get an error that it could not load the display drivers and i never see a desktop [19:13] Ah, that's a lucid kernel [19:13] Ignore me altogether [19:13] is there a good dvd ripping program for edubuntu? i want to back up my kids dvds to hdd (maybe as isos) [19:13] Alphanaut: While I'm not sure how to do it, you should set fall-back drivers, just in case that happens. I've read about htat fix but couldn't tell you how. [19:14] Is GWibber bugged? In 10.10,it doesn't support my Facebook account [19:14] hmmm ok, i dont show any other options aside from the login prompt, so i'm not sure how to drop back to terminal [19:14] ...I know this is a stupid question - however, are there any North Americans in here right now? [19:14] yes [19:14] why is that a stupid question? [19:14] Because it's totally off topic lol [19:15] he might be chuck nurris cousin [19:15] LMAO! === engilles is now known as engil [19:15] I wouldn't mind meeting Chuck Norris' cousin, or Chuck Norris himself for that matter. [19:16] xiven: Try #ubuntu-offtopic. [19:16] Hello. I've tried with several word processors on Ubuntu and I wasn't able to use the four fonts available on the page http://www.unifon.org/htm/unifon%20characters.htm . I know they do work on Windows. Is there a way to use them? [19:17] Has anyone here setup VNC+XDMCP on Ubuntu 10.04 successfully? I've set it up here according to an article I found via Google, and it worked... once... but after rebooting, I'm back to getting only a grey screen on connect. It's as if GDM / XDMCP are not respawning. [19:17] at last i didnt realise i needed to d a thesis just to join an irc channel phew! [19:18] r there any realy peeple in here? [19:18] hello, can someone help me, I just installed ubuntu 10.10, did the updates, when after i restarted, a black screen that says login and password appears. What do I do? [19:18] Why would I want to go to ubuntu-offtopic, I don't plan on remaining off-topic. [19:18] xiven: then please get back on topic [19:18] clergyman: those aren't available to begin with. how you acquired them i do not know. [19:19] here goes - Does ext4 have problems copying disks in Ubuntu. Ive tried clonezilla, gparted, dd and virtually everything else and my disk refuses to clone - any ideas what might be going wrong??? [19:19] ahaha Catalyst84 [19:19] you login [19:19] I asked about North American becuase I've got an 'eye out' for ubuntu fans who would like to get involved in a web community type project. [19:19] oh [19:19] "involved" [19:19] i see [19:20] Alphanaut, i did but it's just at a command line [19:20] Catalyst84: type the command startx [19:20] Alphanaut: If you had meant you are in North America, do you ever create videos via screen capture(equiv.) or webcam? [19:20] xiven: How is that Ubuntu related? [19:21] Does ext4 have problems copying disks in Ubuntu? Ive tried clonezilla, gparted, dd and virtually everything else and my disk refuses to clone - any ideas what might be going wrong??? [19:21] is there a way to ls the contents of a dir as a number list, and then open a file with a program by specifying the item number? [19:21] does anyone use fail2ban pleaaase? [19:21] !repeat | goltoof [19:21] goltoof: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:21] Catalyst84: what's wrong with that? [19:21] blakkheim, i didn't repeat the question [19:21] blakkheim, first time i asked ever [19:21] goltoof: you could make a script to do that [19:22] goltoof: sorry, i used tab complete and it got your name by accident [19:22] it was mee who repeated myself - but ive literraly spent the last 2 days searching ubuntu forums and google - im all searched out! [19:22] tensorpudding, no, i can't :) [19:22] IdleOne, ok now it says "no init found. try passing init= bootarg" [19:22] anyone else having problems with the Maverick Live CD? [19:23] this is what u might call my last resort [19:23] For me, Gnome is crashing (seems to be random), and Gthumb crashes when you try to rotate a pic [19:23] Catalyst84: got me. [19:24] IdleOne, can you help me? [19:24] goltoof: maybe after learning how [19:24] Is there a minimal iso? [19:25] dongleby: you're being too vague for anyone to have a clue what your issue is [19:25] IdleOne, right now, it just shows (initramfs) with a blinking cursor [19:25] nevermind, found it [19:25] So I installed Win7 on a disk, then tried to install ubuntu 10.10 - said something about gtp partitions, possible corruption. So I restarted into the Live CD and used Disk Utility to format the drive with MBR, then tried to install again. Installation went fine, but now it can't boot, just sits at a flashing _ [19:26] let me be clear i'm not trying to dual boot but replace win7 [19:26] hi i am using vi on ubuntu and it can undo only once (type 'u') is that normal? [19:26] blakkheim, of course, i figured out by now that anything i want to accomplish can be done with a little scripting.. but i like to check if someone else already made it since learning how is taking more time than I anticipated [19:26] wiira: ubuntu comes with vim-tiny by default. Install a fuller version of vim [19:26] sorry for vagueness - well im using virtualbox and trying to copy one disk to another smaller disk, dd stops half way through complaining about disk size, so does clonezilla and gparted just wont let me copy and paste the drive [19:26] how do I get XRandR to recognize my other video card? [19:27] jrib: so vim-tiny can not repeat undo? [19:27] wiira: I don't know. If you actually like using vim though, install vim and use it, not vim-tiny [19:27] zanus: It's not xrandr, it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [19:29] jrib: i see thanks for your help [19:29] What is the best-working way to auto-mount samba shares after a user has logged in ? Can the usernames/passwords be stored e.g. in the gnome keyring ? [19:29] was my question still too vague? [19:29] dongleby: yes [19:30] Gwibber doesn't add any account. Any help? [19:30] utilitytrack, currently I have no xorg.conf, but if I do create one with configure.. it will only contain my primary video card. When I run xrandr, the second card doesn't even show up [19:30] okay, this is getting annoying. Why does Ubuntu whine about updates all day long? I mean, it's great that the patches are made available early on, but when I have to update my system more than twice a day it really gets a bit annoying, no matter how good the intent is. My girlfriend is complaining about it on her laptop, and I can imagine how John Doe would react if he had a PC loaded with Ubuntu and got several updates each day.. [19:31] but if I run lspci | grep VGA, it shows two cards [19:31] zanus: For to use two video card simultaneously you need configure it in xorg.conf file. [19:32] if you get several updates each day, you might be running a development version [19:32] I mostly get one or two updates per week [19:32] thats even less than windows 7 [19:32] cmyrland: disable it in System > Admin > Software sources under the Updates tab. [19:32] zanus: Read carefully $ man xorg.conf [19:32] cmyrland: why not turn it off? [19:33] cmyrland: it won't check for updates and won't notify. you will have to do it manually. [19:33] Where is the best place to install downloaded apps? For example, downloading sunbird, just bunzips to a directory. I don't really want it in ~/Downloads. I would like to put it in a "best practice" location. Where would that be? [19:33] well lets take the command "dd" for instance, im copying a 30gb (but only 4 gb used) to a 10gb disk and its complaining about disk size. why would it do that? when its only copying 4gb? every tutorial on ubuntu forums seems to say this should work, but it doesnt on my sys with ext4 [19:33] DrDamnit: /opt [19:33] dongleby: what exactly did you execute? [19:34] IdleOne: Thank you. What do I need to google to find out how to add it to Applications > Accessories? [19:34] dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb [19:34] yeah I just set it for weekly checks, but I don't understand why that isn't by default. Either weekly or every two days.. [19:34] DrDamnit: right click on the Applications menu > edit menu [19:34] dongleby: you are attempting to copy 30gb to 10gb... [19:35] jrib - yea, but all tuts on ubuntu and virtualbox say to do it this way, and it should work === bram_ is now known as bmm [19:35] it checks daily, and if you're not running a development version, most days it will find nothing to update. [19:35] correct me if i'm wrong service = windows daemon = *nix ? [19:35] IdleOne: I mean programmatically. I want to write a bash / shell / perl / php script to download, setup, and add the icons so I can roll it out to multiple machines. [19:35] jrib does this mean i can never expand my virtualbox drive size? [19:35] dongleby: why is virtualbox involved in your question? Is all of this happening inside vbox? dd doesn't care whether space is used or not. [19:35] DrDamnit: hmm you got me there. [19:36] IdleOne: Thanks anyway. I will sharpen my google-fu and find it. [19:36] Hey! I changed the wubi installer setting from (X)Ubuntu to Kubuntu and it went all the way through, gave me the option to reboot. Hmm, I wonder if it was the change in graphical desktop distribution or that I had re-downloaded the installer to the later version... [19:36] i mean its not just 1 tutorial ive read on this, ive read like 30 tutorials that say the same thing, its got me confused :/ [19:36] !who | dongleby [19:36] dongleby: 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 :) [19:36] dongleby: I do not know what you are reading. What I can tell you is dd copies everything [19:36] !tab [19:36] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:36] Where in Ubuntu is xinput located? [19:37] (in which folder) [19:37] upgraded to 10.10, got some likewise-open error while installing, now most of the stuff i install informs me of the likewise-open error. is this a common upgrade error in 10.10? how do i fix it? [19:37] jrib - well do i have to create partition on the new disk and copy partition to partition instead? and how might i do that? === Malkavian is now known as Malkavian_ [19:37] dongleby: what do you want to accomplish *exactly*? [19:38] jrib - ive created an ubuntu drive in virtualbox customised exactly how i want and now i want to clone it, but i want to clone it to different disk sizes, some smaller some larger [19:38] come on guys someone has to know something about that [19:39] hello room .... my newly reinstalled lucid is unable to start into x ... gives me a terminal login and then after a while automatically tries to start failsafe-x but it fails .. any ideas?

[19:40] dongleby: the only imaging program I know of is partimage. I don't know if there's a better way to do what you asked. But that's the question you should be asking. [19:40] Eltu: which xinput [19:40] /usr/bin/xinput [19:41] dongleby, it's just wierd cause the same thing happened when i upgraded to Lucid... i'm surprised no one else has expereinced it [19:41] JoeA1: PSExec if it has a linux client :) [19:41] jrib - ive tried partimage too it does exactly the same [19:41] jrib - thats why im here i exhausted all options [19:41] dongleby: partimage takes into account unused space [19:41] wassup guys? [19:42] I have a strange Acer Aspire one netbook that's not listed anywhere. It says it has: [19:42] Atheros Communications Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0 [19:42] jrib hmmn will try - thx for lending me ur helping hand tho :) [19:42] Praxi: cool, where I can found it? [19:42] dongleby: and partimage's website says ext4 is unsupported. How did you try it? [19:42] under lspci. It works in Linux but not XP. I need XP drivers for it. [19:42] i have a wireless command that i somehow (a while ago) managed to cause it to mount on startup, i updated ubuntu, and now in the newer copy it doesnt mount on startup. I remember someone telling me to add a certain text command to a file, i think the folder etc. Can anyone tell me where that file would be? [19:42] *thats a wireless adapter [19:43] teemo I see two PCI adapters [19:43] dongleby: you should ask #vbox, this is probably a common thing [19:43] one is wireless and one is not. [19:43] wiira: from the command line you can do sudo apt-get autoremove [19:43] but I'm not sure whitch one [19:43] seen psilo? [19:44] I have been having a lot of problems with CDROMs on 10.10. It doesn't seem to recognize when the CD is ejected. When writing, I have been getting errors saying it can't eject the disk. Also, it created a couple of bad disks. This happened on two different machines - I don't think it is a bad drive. Are there known issues? [19:44] teemo: perhaps /etc/rc.local [19:44] the other network device is Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [19:44] what involves less hassle = zfs/fuse for raidz/raidz2 or mdadm for a raid5/raid5 with a cold spare? [19:44] Dr_Willis: nope [19:45] So can anyone help me here? [19:45] teemo: that file does run commands at boot time.. you dont 'mount' network cardss and so forth. Its also possible to have things ran at User Login. It depends on uyour needs. [19:45] Is there an easy way to check the model number of my video card through a terminal or something? I don't want to have to pull it out to find out.

It seems that purge would also delete any conf files as well. Sounds perfect for uninstalling apps like apache2 and starting over, but many dependencies don't have configs [19:50] JoeA1: not sure if there is a linux client, 1s link on google looks kind of promising though http://forum.sysinternals.com/winexe-psexec-for-gnu-linux_topic9005_post38409.html [19:51] Does anyone know if there is an IRC channel specifically for CUPS, particularly cupsys?

[20:12] do you know about SSH tunneling .. what are you thoughts about it [20:12] hmm there is rt3070sta [20:13] rubydiamond, whats your question? [20:13] Hey folks, I'm having a problem with 10.10. I have an Intel GMA 950 graphics accelerator, and I'm on a Mac Mini (ohgod). I'm having trouble configuring X to use the intel driver and any resolution above 800x600. I've used X -configure and moved the resulting file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but X refuses to start (it starts if there is no Xorg.conf, but at a low resolution/vesa driver). Does anyone have any advice? [20:13] sorry to spam >_> <_< [20:13] rubydiamond: that its great...? [20:13] archlich: I want to know whether can we use SSH tunneling to download torrents from transmission behind firewall [20:13] Phoebus: Because that's how things work on freenode. If your client supports it, tell it to wait a few seconds before joining channels. [20:13] ka1ser: see my question [20:13] I used to be able to get /dev/sdf1 by using the makedev command but that don't work with this uuid concept I guess. I need a sdf1 or a sdb1; How do I get one? Go to Staples? [20:14] rww, does xchat support that? [20:14] rubydiamond: thats not a question [20:14] lol [20:14] when my ubuntu 10.4 system boots up it says, A newer build of the Ubuntu lucid server image is available. \nIt is named 'release' and has build serial '20101020'. \n*** System restart required *** [20:14] Phoebus: not sure, I use irssi. Try #xchat (assuming nobody else here knows) [20:14] hola alguien habla Español?

[20:16] im using ubuntu server 10.04 [20:16] goltoof: try /msg alis list *google* [20:16] ka1ser, the problem is that you need to port forward hundreds of tcp connections to your peers [20:16] archlich: is there any special channel to discuss about ssh tunneling for torrent clients within firewall network [20:17] rww, thanks [20:17] rubydiamond, try openssh ? [20:17] archlich: you just need a torrent app that has proxy support then you just connect to the proxy through the tunnel [20:18] archlich: hmm [20:18] how to play mp3 by terminal [20:18] rubydiamond: try #networking [20:18] archlich: ssh is openssh right [20:18] ka1ser: okay.. let me try #networking [20:18] I'm on ubuntu 10.04 trying to set it as a web server, I've registered a domain name, i'm asking what do i need to use it as my hostname ???, in the "how to forge" "Perfect server" guide found the hostname is in the form "server.example.com", so how can i use my domain name the same way ? also how to set NameServers too ???

[22:05] seeker60, "sudo apt-get -f install" [22:05] I can't boot maverick from usb, it throws (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid argument can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [22:05] ZykoticK9, the card i have is not in the supported list but i think the list is not up to date because it has only up to ubuntu 8.10 and the cards shown are also older cards than the one i have [22:05] seeker60, you have broken packages! === WiWafk is now known as WiW [22:05] daniel_, have you told me what card it is? [22:06] no its Broadcom BCM4401 [22:06] ZycoticK9, he is daniel with _ _ [22:06] ZykoticK9: and that is when I get the corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive [22:06] here is the broadcom compatible cards https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom [22:06] daniel_, sorry man, i really don't know anything about Broadcom cards, but I know they require some specific steps sometimes - i see lots of help for them in this channel. best of luck man. [22:07] ok thanks [22:07] seeker60, i have no idea what a "filesystem tarfile" is. sorry i can't help you either I'm affraid. best of luck man. [22:08] Does anyone know if it's possible to play fallout 3 on Ubuntu using Wine? [22:08] ZykoticK9: so what are broken packages and how do we unbreak them sounds like a reinstall [22:08] !appdb | sion [22:08] sion: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [22:08] Does anyone here have problems running Unity? [22:08] hi, is there any way to restore eclipse like a fresh install in ubuntu?? [22:08] seeker60, broken packages are caused when something only partially installed, but didn't finish properly [22:08] Cool, does that show games which are compatible? [22:09] sion, yes [22:09] do-release-upgrade does not work from 10.04 to 10.10 does it? [22:09] Just for my interest - how can I generate a random 6 digit number mod 2 - err I mean in binary. [22:09] KnickLighter, not by default - LTS will only upgrade to LTS (by default) [22:09] someone here use google-cli ? [22:10] KnickLighter: see the server section of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntutheproject-n-irc-council [22:10] ... wrong URL, sorry [22:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [22:10] ZykoticK9: thanks a bunch I have a new project for tomorrow. [22:10] Lol rww, i was like whaaat [22:11] Ubuntu 10.04: How to record sound from a YouTube-video using Audacity ? [22:11] KnickLighter: I'm multitasking with a UDS session; my clipboard got confused ;P [22:11] haha [22:11] np [22:11] thanks for the link though [22:12] Can anyone help me to get unity to work properly? [22:13] I'm having issues with compiz when switching to an external monitor with my notebook [22:13] anyone know what module pkit is, and how to fix a program complaining its not installed? [22:13] is this known? [22:13] vdubhack, package-kit? [22:13] milosz: not sure thats all it gave me in the error and google turns up a bunch of possibilities :P [22:13] re UPdates for 10.04 - the last set of updates I was offered "could Not Be Authenticated" -- what's this about? I refused them as I have before. [22:14] vdubhack, quite sure it's package-kit [22:14] milosz: OK thanks I will give it a shot :) [22:14] vdubhack, if not, write me off as cheeky and come back asking :P [22:14] japaxican, you should say "anyone help me how to make device to work properly?" [22:15] tripelb, is that the exact error message? [22:16] tripelb, try this: http://changelog.complete.org/archives/496-how-to-solve-the-following-packages-cannot-be-authenticated [22:16] japaxican, what do you want to make? [22:16] novato_br japaxican I like japaxican 's version better. [22:16] Can I install ubuntu to a disk that is plugged into my computer, while I am in ubuntu already? [22:16] japaxican, what device do you want to make to work? [22:17] debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog [22:17] debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 75.) [22:17] whats that? [22:17] Are there any unbundled ubuntu builds? (no openoffice, games, browsers etc...) [22:17] milosz: do you know what its called pkit package-kit return nothing in apt-cache search [22:17] i want to connect the remote desktop in windows [22:17] vdubhack, wait [22:17] im using rdesktop [22:17] not working [22:18] vdubhack, "packagekit" [22:18] rammyIRC, do you have remote desktop enabled [22:18] u mean in windows? [22:18] yes [22:18] rammyIRC, yes, is the port open? [22:18] milosz: doh didnt think of that way to spell it sorry [22:18] Thanks [22:18] i dont know if port is open [22:18] vdubhack, here's a tip [22:18] how to check it [22:19] rammyIRC, nmap, but i just read it's udp not tcp. whats the error you're receiving [22:19] vdubhack, if you don't know the exact name, start synaptic, use search and select "Name" and type in the word fragments separated by space if you don't know whether there's a hyphen or not or some other character [22:19] i think apt-cache search package kit would have worked too [22:19] well just giving a tip [22:20] milosz: oh cool thanks did not know those ways to do it I always use the - in the searches :P [22:20] I've been trying to get my ATI Radeon X1300 working with Maverick, I installed the official driver from their website (a .run file) and now I don't see anything on the screen. Ideas? [22:20] Error Msg : You must be granted the Allow log on through the Terminal Services Right [22:20] is there a compression-extraction tool with a functioning progressbar? [22:20] japaxican, which device do you want to put to work? [22:21] Hello, I am really new to ubuntu. been googling around but what is "cross-compilation toolchain" [22:21] I am supposed to install that [22:22] Daani: probably not something you need if youre new to ubuntu :P [22:22] rammyIRC, your user doesn't have permissions to allow remote desktop, regardless if its enabled. you'll need to add it to remote users group (dont remember how to do this) maybe this will help http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781509%28WS.10%29.aspx [22:22] milosz: I just searched my desktop and kpackagekit is installed and I am on a gnome only desktop should I remove that one ? [22:22] the progressbar in the standard uncompression-tool doesn't work properly [22:22] is there an alternative? [22:22] KenBW2-laptop my teacher told me to install it haha :D [22:23] how to restart cron ? [22:23] vdubhack, no need to [22:23] archlich: I have done all those config [22:23] vdubhack, but if you don't use KDE you can [22:23] its still not working [22:23] rammyIRC, can you connect to it using windows [22:23] milosz: OK thanks just wanted to be sure [22:23] anygivenname, "sudo service cron restart" i believe [22:23] vdubhack, but [22:24] vdubhack, if you deinstall it, I'm sure apt will want to take the entire KDE desktop with it [22:24] anygivenname: /etc/init.d/cron restart [22:24] i.e. KDE depends on kpackagekit [22:24] vdubhack, using init.d is the old method FYI [22:24] no you can use "service" [22:24] sudo service cron restart [22:25] and is actually the preferred method since upstart [22:25] is there a compression-extraction tool with a functioning progressbar? [22:25] milosz: I never installed the KDE desktop this is a fresh install [22:25] !repeat | greened [22:25] greened: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [22:25] vdubhack, hmm well then when in doubt, leave it [22:25] but anyway does anyone know how I install cross-compilation toolchain [22:25] Daani, just install the compiler needed, it should take everything needed with it [22:25] make sure you install flex and so on [22:25] milosz: ok thanks sorry for the million questions, switching to ubuntu from fed [22:25] ZykoticK9, ok, so no one knows about it? [22:26] vdubhack, welcome to Ubuntu then! [22:26] can someone help getting wicd to work with 10.10 on HP mini 311 (Broadcom 43xx STA driver) - thanks! [22:26] greened, if they did "they would probably answer you" [22:26] joeyeye, alt+f2 -> gksu jockey-gtk [22:26] Milosz hmm he told me to install cross-compilation toolchain and then later on Eclipse IDE [22:26] I feel like a question mark [22:26] Daani, i'm pretty sure you don't need Eclipse [22:26] it's just an IDE [22:26] he told me to :S [22:26] !netsplit [22:26] wohoow [22:26] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [22:26] nice split [22:27] I think we are supposed to use it in school, [22:27] ZykoticK9, allright, I just thought people missed it, since it seemed like a pretty simple question and I thought people here were knowledgeable [22:27] well if you're supposed to use it, use it :P === aL3x is now known as kirstin [22:27] yes that is what im asking here haha [22:27] how do I find it and install it :S [22:27] Milosz, yes I use the proprietary drivers... [22:27] Daani, the package "build-essential" includes a lot of compiler requirements, not sure if it has cross compiling stuff. [22:28] okey! [22:28] so it sounds weird that he said exactly this "install cross-compilation toolchain" then install "Eclipse IDE" [22:28] Milosz, yes I use the proprietary drivers... [22:29] you can cross-compile to windows with mingw [22:29] google for a mingw in ubuntu tutorial :) [22:29] having a problem upgrading, it says "Resolve generated breaks" after setting software channels [22:29] Hi, [22:30] I'm trying to play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory but I have no sound. When I run it from a terminal I get the following error: [22:30] going 10.04 to 10.10 [22:30] ------- sound initialization ------- [22:30] /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [22:30] Could not open /dev/dsp [22:30] ------------------------------------ [22:30] After some googeling I tried to instal oss-compat but that gives errors too: [22:30] FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss not found [22:30] FATAL: Module snd_mixer_oss not found [22:30] FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found [22:30] I can play music, movies and other games fine, only Wolfenstein doesn't work. Can anyone help me with this? [22:30] milosz: Still getting the no module pkit error after installing packagekit :( thanks for the effort :) [22:30] can someone help getting wicd to work with 10.10 on HP mini 311 (Broadcom 43xx STA driver) - thanks! [22:30] Burmoz, sudo apt-get install alsa-oss then run the game like... aoss ./game [22:31] if I start the synaptic package manager and enter the wrong password, it doesn't complain (no bad password error) but doesnt open any windows... is this a bug in my installation or is standard behaviour [22:31] Burmoz, like if I wanted to play... newwolf... aoss /path/to/newwolf [22:31] Burmoz, in addition to ironsight's suggestion above - a very good one. you might want to try "pasuspender et" to disable Pulse as well (not sure if it will have any effect before/after the alsa-oss) [22:32] joeyeye: Are you sure its not the wireless driver giving you issues? I have seen that card model on a bunch of stickies while searching for stuff for my laptop [22:32] having a problem upgrading, it says "Resolve generated breaks" after setting software channels - any help? [22:33] Burmoz, you could try padsp [22:33] * ironsight wishes linux audio never fragmented so bad [22:33] joeyeye: it should be uninstall networkmanager install wicd, restart computer click applet on restart to manage networks [22:33] ironsight: "alsa-oss is already the newest version.", still no sound.. [22:34] vdubhack, it could well be the driver - however the card does work with nm-applet, I just prefer wicd [22:34] Burmoz, how do you usally launch the wolf client? [22:34] joeyeye: Ahhh ok no clue then sorry [22:34] Milosz: like " padsp et"? Didn't work.. [22:34] ironsight: I just type et in the console [22:35] type in aoss et [22:35] is dbus-daemon needed on a server? [22:35] ironsight: still nothing [22:35] meonkeys, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server [22:35] will do, ok [22:35] * ironsight get's wolfet to check this out [22:38] when I do rm -r on a folder it askes me to confirm for every file, how can I automate this? [22:38] travaler, rm -rf [22:38] man rm [22:39] why do I run chmod & it says operation not permitted ? [22:39] anygivenname, on what do you chmod? [22:39] Milosz thanks [22:40] chmod 600 on a file [22:40] i have done sudo chmod 600.......& dunno if this was ok or not....it did not give any indication [22:41] anygivenname, why are you using & [22:41] anygivenname, also run a lsattr filename [22:41] Burmoz, I wonder if iowolfet is out yet... [22:42] i am following the steps "Because this file contains sensitive information such as the password of your mail account we will chmod it to 600 so only the root user can view the file" [22:42] have some problems with iptables, i cannot dns query, could somebody help me? http://pastebin.com/nunR5MMh [22:43] Burmoz, keep an eye on http://ioquake3.org/2010/08/12/welcome-wolfenstein-enemy-territory-and-return-to-castle-wolfenstein/ since they are re-writing it with SDL sound [22:43] did sudo chmod 600..... do anything ? [22:43] anygivenname, take a look at the file ls -l filename === hacked is now known as hacked_ === hacked_ is now known as hacked__ === hacked__ is now known as hacked1 === hacked1 is now known as hacked [22:44] ironsight: I hadn't heard of that yet, sounds like a good idea. Thanks for pointing it out. [22:45] what do u mean ? [22:45] anygivenname, what file are you trying to chmod? [22:45] ssmtp.conf [22:45] hi [22:45] anygivenname, run a ls -l smtp.conf and paste the results [22:46] is something wrong with mutter? gnome on my ubuntu netbook remix is running really slow and crashes occassionally [22:46] but normal ubuntu is fine [22:46] Why does upstart predepend on libc 2.11? [22:47] but I have 2.12 installed? [22:47] UNR 10.10 btw [22:48] -rw------- 1 root root 744 2010-10-28 23:37 /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf [22:49] anygivenname, that's 600 all right [22:49] then sudo worked [22:49] anygivenname, thats fine then [22:50] anygivenname, i need to head out but check out this at some point https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Chmod#Octal_numbers [22:50] Anyone know why my ubuntu studio pc won't go past the logo screen at boot after a pwr failure? (i just bumped the button on accident) [22:51] plob [22:52] is something wrong with mutter? gnome on my ubuntu netbook remix (10.10) is running really slow and crashes occassionally. normal ubuntu is fine [22:52] aut0tek: have you [ESC] and looked at the messages? [22:53] aut0tek: pres ESC (i think others keys work) and it will show the bootup process === hacked is now known as vinces === vinces is now known as hacked [22:56] Oh.. I hit esc... Says home directory /etc/timidity not ours [22:57] hi where can i download the source and compile ubuntu [22:58] hey guys. when i plug an external monitor into my laptop it always gets setup as an extension of the right side of my existing monitor. I can switch it to the left easily enough. but i'd like to make it go on the left by default, so I don't have to change it every time. is that possible? [22:58] is there a command that will transfer files over a network faster then SCP? [22:58] how could I configure FUSE ? [22:58] where's the config file located (if there's even one) ? === krisztian_ is now known as crx [22:59] Anyone know how to install the Cricket A600 USB Modem in Kubuntu 10.04? I tried the whole flipflop.sh thing and while it outputted a lot of information. It didn't seem to add anything to Network Config. What am I doing wrong? Also, I only have one Cricket modem. So if I try this I have to d/c and r/c to post more. [23:00] travaler: rcp doesn't have the encryption overhead. if you're doing multiple iterations rsync is way faster. i guess you could use dd over a socket or something for the ultimate light weight === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:00] yaaar is it likely that the encryption overhead is slowing me down when copying a folder? [23:01] If someone could just give me a link to a guide that works I'd appreciate it. I have some stuff to do in the yard. But later on I'll be able to work more on it. [23:01] anyone with a laptop get headphone sound? [23:01] aut0tek: that's all it says..? [23:01] That's the end [23:02] Oh now it says skipping /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 at user request [23:02] yaaar, it seems to take a second per file for files between .5 megs and 1 meg large [23:02] I'm using 10.04. anyone know where the grub menu.lst is? [23:02] yaaar, I would like to maintain 10MB/s but it drops to KB/s for smaller files : ( [23:02] aut0tek: you use encrypted home directory? [23:02] Isn't menu list always in the same place? [23:03] its not in /boot/grub/ where it allways was [23:03] Ubuntu 10.04: How can I tell if I have the 32 or 64 bit version installed? [23:03] Sonic132: no [23:03] do i have to chmod 600 again the file after every editing or it is done just once ? [23:03] x64 [23:03] Hmmm ok. I learned someothing yay. [23:04] I know it's stupid, but I forgot which I installed. :P [23:04] Sir_Konrad: =P [23:04] I need to know that as well Sir_Konrad [23:04] I would think it was 32. But not sure. [23:04] Sonic132: Most of the time if you don't know then it's 32 bit, but I have so much things going on I probably knew a few months ago! XD [23:05] Ah well goodluck. [23:05] But this isn't my main box, it's one I use about twice a week. :\ [23:05] hi where can i download the source and compile ubuntu [23:05] Anyone want to help me find a guide for installing the Cricket A600 Cal-comp usb modem in 10.04 of Kubuntu? [23:05] Sir_Konrad: run 'arch' command? [23:06] Sir_Konrad, "uname -a" [23:06] Thmstcls: ok thanks. :) [23:06] Hello friends. I'm new here and just installed 10.10 on raid 1 HDs. How can I check if it's working correctly? The installation gave me no errors, but I want to be shure that it work's. Thanks! [23:06] thanks too mscotta. :P [23:07] Sir_Konrad, Thmstcls: 'arch' is the CPU architecture [23:07] what did he want mscotta ? [23:07] i686 is 32 correct? [23:07] that [23:07] 's what I wanted [23:07] Dang, it is 32-bit... >.< [23:07] Sonic132: yeah.. [23:07] Sonic132: No, it's only the CPU arch. [23:08] Anyone? [23:08] Then that makes two of us. [23:08] Sonic132: mine is i686 is a 32 bit proc. x86_64 is always 64-bit. [23:08] Sir_Konrad: mscotta++, you want the cpu arch or the OS? [23:08] velrac: software RAID? [23:09] mscotta: Chances are they are the same right? [23:09] do i have to chmod 600 again the file after every editing or it is done just once ? [23:09] Sir_Konrad: try 'uname -a' [23:09] Thmstcls: I wanted both, I got both. i686 on the OS is a 32-bit install right? [23:09] Sir_Konrad: or 'uname -mrsn [23:09] ' [23:09] with no quotes [23:09] Sonic132, yes but you can install 32 bit S.O. on a 64 bit arch. [23:10] Thmstcls: right but an i686 software install is 32 bit. [23:10] That means once upon a time I installed the wrong version. :P [23:10] hehe, you wanted 64? [23:10] Sir_Konrad: what is a i686 software? [23:11] X.has some error about no inputs or something? [23:11] mscotta: 32 bit software. I wanted 64. :P [23:11] Thmstcls: yeah. XD [23:11] mscotta: 32 bit dual core [23:11] its ubuntu 8.04 supported yet? [23:11] Well the versions agree for me. 32 on 32. [23:12] But anyone know how I can setup the Cricket USB modem so that I can connect to the internet? [23:12] Yeah... anyone have experience with MacBook Pro 5,5 with 10.10? [23:12] Sir_Konrad: the old PII is i686 but is not 64 bit [23:12] its ubuntu 8.04 supported yet? [23:12] CPU fan speed and CHASSIS fan speed are wrong with xsensor, also when read from BIOS, this means that mobo is dying? [23:12] mscotta: You're not reading what I said... I installed i686 software on an x86_64 machine... :P [23:13] What are you asking Nertil? [23:13] its ubuntu 8.04 supported yet? [23:13] does exist support from ubuntu [23:13] irc.vaultnet.org [23:13] Sir_Konrad: i'm betting you have 32bit ubuntu installed [23:13] Nertil: 8.04 is still supported. [23:13] for this version [23:13] till when? [23:13] 8.04 is old. [23:13] Thmstcls: I do... I'm going to have to get 64-bit 10.04 or 10.10. [23:13] Nertil: I think until April... [23:13] ok [23:14] Sir_Konrad: what's the point? [23:14] Nertil: I would upgrade to 10.04 [23:14] Sir_Konrad: What's the point in keeping an old version old? Why not upgrade? [23:14] Nertil: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [23:14] Thmstcls: This is it. I want to install Ubuntu on this MacBook that I'm typing on right now, and I knew I had one Ubuntu 10.04 CD around but I didn't know if it was 32 or 64. [23:14] Sonic132 old machine [23:15] Sonic132: LTS version. [23:15] 10.04 is LTS as well. [23:15] Why not use that? [23:15] Sir_Konrad: i get that part, just wondering why you feel the need to change to 64bit [23:15] i just found a package (roundcube) that apparently has a dependency (php-mdb2-driver-mysql) that apt-get doesn't pull in. at least, it errored "couldn't connect to the database" with logs saying "MDB2 Error: not found (-4): unable to find package 'MDB2_Driver_mysql'" until i installed that package, and now it's fine. where should i report that? [23:15] Thmstcls: I'm going to have to download a 64-bit version.. [23:15] Thmstcls: oh because this MacBook Pro has 4GB RAM. [23:16] Sonic132: Are you talking about why I would consider getting 10.04 for this MacBook? [23:16] So anyone know how to install the Cricket Cal-comp A600 usb modem in Kubuntu 10.04? I tried the flipflop.sh thing and the lsusb doesn't show it installed. Also it doesn't show up under Network Config. [23:17] hum [23:17] till when will be supportet 10. 10 [23:17] Sonic132: No, but Calcomp rules a bit i think. [23:18] Caltech [23:18] hi where can i download the source and compile ubuntu [23:18] Nertil: 10.10 is supported for 18 months, so it will be supported until April of 2012 [23:18] Sonic132: you're on dial-up? [23:18] Flannel but hows come 10.04 will be supported till 2015 [23:18] RastaHunden:Huh? Well according to the lable and what XP says. It's a Cal-Comp A600 Usb modem. [23:18] Nertil: If you'd like something supported later than that, you should consider 10.04, which is supported on the desktop until April of 2013 (and the server until 2015) [23:19] Sir_Konrad: Cricket calls it broadband. But it's quite a bit slower than that. [23:19] Nertil: Because 10.04 is an LTS release (Long Term Support) [23:19] ok [23:19] EeveeTrainer: Your question is invalid but www.linuxfromscratch.org will give you an ideea. [23:19] Sonic132: oh you're hooking up via ethernet? [23:19] Sir_Konrad: No hooking up via usb. [23:19] yucvk [23:19] tuck [23:19] Sir_Konrad: It's a usb modem. [23:19] wow...yuck [23:19] ow... [23:20] Wow, that's nasty. [23:20] Bots are loose [23:20] wow at the fact it took me 3 tries to type it [23:20] Alice is loose [23:20] Alice in wonderland. [23:20] Any ideas on what to do about it? [23:20] Inetlice :) [23:21] what's the problem, Sonic132 [23:21] there a linux video player that will play in a very minimal bordered window that can be set to always on top? [23:21] Wakkaarimaseen! [23:21] so when will be next LTS VERSION [23:21] see what i mean? [23:21] Nertil: after 10.04? 12.04. [23:21] ok [23:21] woops..i'm not in Kansas anymore [23:21] Nertil: when it turns up! :) [23:22] Trying to figure out how to (1)Get the video to work in other modes than 'safe graphics mode' and also. (2)Figure out how to install the Cal-Comp A600 Cricket Usb modem...under Kubuntu 10.04 [23:22] if I have a .bin file i folderA [23:22] how do I install it [23:22] I am trying to install 10.10 i386 on a Vaio P. [23:22] mikrozero: welcome to the fjords Mike! ;) [23:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Maverick <-- Why is this so short? o.O [23:23] everyone is poor Sir_Konrad [23:23] This machine has a GMA500 chipset so the USB device is marked "poulsbo". [23:23] any girls in here for cam2cam? [23:23] Thmstcls: LOL! What does that mean? :P [23:23] Im rich as a mofo :) [23:23] Sir_Konrad: they don't spend the extra money for the Apple brand [23:23] RastaHunden, do u code computer malware [23:23] Do I need to somehow get the PSB driver on to the system? [23:24] anyone? [23:24] lol Sarajevo [23:24] is that a serious question [23:24] yes [23:24] Sarajevo: Kheuk ? [23:24] ? [23:24] wat [23:24] Thmstcls: hehe... The Mactel Team does. :D [23:24] Go away [23:24] rastahunden haha vilken fråga :D [23:24] why? [23:24] the mactel team huh [23:24] Daani: vilket miffo [23:24] sarajevo mismo nije illegal ovde [23:24] oh [23:24] ti kodiras viruscice [23:24] spamas [23:24] je li [23:25] Thmstcls: yup. ;) [23:25] Sarajevo: Do you wish to engage at this time Sir ? [23:25] !english [23:25] Thmstcls: Did you see my post? [23:25] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:25] Sarajevo not here! [23:25] Sonic132: just did now [23:25] Thmstcls: Cool. [23:25] I downloaded Eclipse it came as a tar file I extracted the files but the exutable file doesnt work :S [23:25] nothing happens [23:25] I guess not [23:26] Daani: you probably need to compile it, programs on linux are usually distributed as source code [23:26] I can add that tonight is my first visit in ubuntu hehe [23:26] Daani: More than likely what blakkheim said. [23:26] compile it? :S [23:26] yes [23:26] Daani: Yup! [23:26] it's just a bunch of text files right now, not a binary [23:26] im gonna compile my gf's ass tonight [23:26] Daani: Get used to the idea if you don't get a Debian package file. [23:27] Daani: Google is your friend. I've used it so much for Linux. [23:27] okey will google [23:27] hey can someone help me please, i'm running 10.10 on an SSD with a zotac mobo in an HTPC. THis is the second time this has happened to me, install runs fine, first few boots were fine but now when I boot after my mobo splash screen I just get a blinking cursor in the top right corner and it never boots..... I'm so frustrated with this, I've tested the memory, reset the bios, set the boot devices I'm completely lost.... [23:27] but i read somewhere that I should use the terminal [23:27] !language [23:27] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:27] !compile | Daani [23:27] Daani: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:27] blakkheim: Step back please. [23:28] Daani: Read what ubottu said. [23:28] Daani: you can start by installing it from the repo: 'sudo apt-get install eclipse' [23:28] Daani: Using the repos like mscotta said. Is usually the easiest way. [23:28] RastaHunden: what? [23:28] Daani: start with little steps! [23:28] Sonic132: repeating a bad sentence never made it any better. [23:29] okey thanks [23:29] RastaHunden: It was an informative, and correct sentence. So I don't know what your talking about. [23:29] hehehe... [23:29] blakkheim: By saying that you like those who wants to learn to not. This is not so good. [23:29] RastaHunden, what do you mean? [23:29] Sonic132 ^^ [23:29] Hi, I need help installing Ubuntu 10.10 i386 on a Vaio P. It boots into the installer but then it can't find the CDROM. [23:30] RastaHunden: i don't know what you mean, your english is fairly broken there [23:30] mscotta: Why do we have Ubuntu, because people have learnt. [23:30] Do you think my problem might have to do with the GMA500 chipset on the machine? [23:30] * Sir_Konrad munches on some popcorn [23:30] blakkheim: My english is fine. [23:30] RastaHunden: I'm with you! [23:30] come on please someone take a look at my issue [23:30] rahduke, explain it [23:30] RastaHunden: This is ubuntu irc chat. It's an informative, encouraging environment where people learn to use the OS in every situation imaginable. I didn't see blackheim encouraging Daani to fail. [23:30] i'll see [23:30] RastaHunden: "By saying that you like those who wants to learn to not" ? [23:31] mscotta: Thank you! Upstream approves of your ACK. [23:31] does anyone know of an Evolution IRC channel [23:31] is there a way to get ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 WITHOUT mutter? [23:31] blackheim: I speak english just fine I do! [23:31] mutter is REALLY slow and laggy [23:31] #evolution? [23:31] Sonic132: Informative, not strangling of intellectual knowhow i hope ? [23:31] area51pilot: surely there is on gnome's irc network [23:31] blakkheim: Im Upstream. [23:32] RastaHunden: I just suggested that he use Google. Then agreed with those that put out the mental effort to fill him in so he didn't have to use Google. [23:32] RastaHunden: That's not strangling of intellectual knowhow. [23:32] hey can someone help me please, i'm running 10.10 on an SSD with a zotac mobo in an HTPC. THis is the second time this has happened to me, install runs fine, first few boots were fine but now when I boot after my mobo splash screen I just get a blinking cursor in the top right corner and it never boots..... I'm so frustrated with this, I've tested the memory, reset the bios, set the boot devices I'm completely lost.... [23:33] rahduke: sounds like a driver issue... [23:33] hi where can i download the source and compile ubuntu [23:33] I accept your correctures at this time. [23:33] rahduke: did you install a graphics card driver? [23:33] EeveeTrainer: you can't, it's not how it works [23:33] !de | Steven_Krebs [23:33] Steven_Krebs: 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. [23:33] RastaHunden, blakkheim: Please take it to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic or something. It's offtopic for this channel. [23:33] Thmstcls: why not ? [23:33] wtf [23:34] EeveeTrainer: ubuntu is not source code for one [23:34] what do I care if someone does not speak english? [23:34] ubuntu doesnt have a source code ? [23:34] EeveeTrainer: Best to wait until someone actually speaks in German before issuing that. [23:34] rww: You may private me if you feel strongly about the conversation ? === mike is now known as linelevel [23:34] EeveeTrainer: no, it's a collection of other sources that have already been compiled [23:34] yo don't EeveeTrainer, ubuntu uses open source software; you can compile that [23:34] EeveeTrainer: I don't think so. But a Google search could help clear up the mystery. [23:35] ubottu: source | EeveeTrainer [23:35] EeveeTrainer: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [23:35] EeveeTrainer: you can compile and upgrade the kernel [23:35] is there a way to get ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 WITHOUT mutter? [23:35] Also, I guess I'll go do my yard work. I'll be back later. Maybe someone can help me then. [23:35] Sir_Konrad: just enabled the default hardware drivers...... but if it were a driver issue wouldnt i be able to get to the command line?? [23:36] Is there a way of recording video without compressing it on ubuntu? [23:36] like Fraps on windows [23:36] recordmydesktop has horrible audio-sync issues when recording games [23:36] rahduke: true... are you getting to the GRUB boot loader? [23:36] kn100!! What's up pal? :D [23:36] Sir_Konrad: no not at all [23:36] Thmstcls, you really dont know how it works [23:36] !language | Steven_Krebs [23:36] Steven_Krebs: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:36] its ridiculous [23:36] rahduke: can you boot off of anything? [23:36] Sir_Konrad, hey :D [23:36] yea, i can boot off USB,CD etc... [23:36] test34: how is that? [23:36] rww: What do you do btw ? Code any ASSM/C/C++/GTK+/PHP/etc ? [23:37] its so effing frustrating [23:37] kn100: how are ya? It's been awhile. :P [23:37] Is there a way of recording the screen without compressing it on ubuntu? [23:37] Sir_Konrad, It's been good, and yourself? [23:37] !language | rahduke [23:37] rahduke: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:37] rahduke: whats that about ? [23:37] Gskellig: no, mutter is a required component of Unity, you can't have Unity without mutter. [23:37] RastaHunden: that's also offtopic for this channel. [23:37] kn100: Pretty nice. Getting back into Linux after a year. :P [23:37] test34: nothing? [23:37] rww soon to be not true any more. new unity will use compit instead of mutter. [23:37] im bugging out over here, im sick and tired of re-installing ubuntu every day....im seriously about to break stuff [23:38] compiz [23:38] Steven_Krebs: I'm talking about 10.10's Unity. [23:38] can I get it without unity then? [23:38] that's why I said _soon not to be true anymore_ [23:38] rww: Ok, fun that you have joined i think. Anyhow, feel the breeze. [23:38] rahduke: Been there. Took a vacation from Ubuntu, and came back. I think secretly I like the troubleshooting. [23:38] I think I found a bug in an updated version of an apt package. How do I downgrade a package to verify my test? [23:38] Gskellig: Ubuntu Netbook is just Ubuntu Desktop with the Unity interface, pretty much. Just get Ubuntu Desktop if you don't want Unity. [23:39] Sonic132: this problem is ridiculous, its like unfixable [23:39] i cant find any performace benchmarks of ubuntu 10.10 against 10.04. some1 can give me a link or at least tell me your experience? [23:39] can I get 10.10, with the same gui that 10.04 had [23:39] ? [23:39] Gskellig: No! :) [23:39] Gskellig, yes, of course [23:39] Gskellig: no, the 10.04 netbook GUI isn't available on maverick, and isn't maintained any more [23:39] Gskellig: yes, just download Ubuntu 10.10 [23:39] Benkinooby: habe you search in Phoronix website? [23:40] They're both GNOME. [23:40] rahduke: Just curious but are you dual/multi-booting? [23:40] It's the same GUI [23:40] Thmstcls, dont they have code to compile, group and tie all those packages together? [23:40] Gskellig, oh, sorry forget my comment [23:40] no--name: between 10.04 and 10.10? no, it isn't. [23:40] Sonic132: nope, its just 10.10 on an SSD [23:40] test34: of course, but he can't compile 'ubuntu' [23:40] Yeah it is... Gnome. [23:40] Thmstcls, that's what I would think Ubuntu is [23:40] it makes no sense, i cant even get into the grub menu to boot into recovery mode [23:40] ubuntu is pre-compiled binaries there is nothing to compile [23:40] rahduke: Don't know what to tell you. I got problems too. Just keep trying back on here and maybe someone can help you. [23:40] Benkinooby: habe you search in Phoronix website? [23:40] Gskellig: Odd people camping here though i must say :) ... Im surprised every time to say the least :) [23:41] rahduke: attempt a reinstall [23:41] rahduke: Reinstall grub maybe? [23:41] Sonic132: its un helpable, im convinced this is not a fixable issue [23:41] That's all I can say. [23:41] Gskellig: To be fair, most rocks [23:41] mscotta, never heard of that. thx for the hint... i'll give it a shot [23:41] Thmstcls, what is gcalctool? a calculator no source to compile? but the source is available [23:41] Sir_Konrad: I've installed 3x already same issues over and over [23:41] sudo apt-get install eclipse that installed java edition :/ how can I control it to install the c/c++ edition [23:41] rahduke: something wrong with your RAID array? [23:41] Sir_Konrad: Well he said that reinstalling works temporarily but then after a few boots it's hosed again. [23:41] wow [23:41] i got like 80 different answers [23:41] test34: i don't think you are taking in what i'm saying. of course there are sources for packages, he asked how to compile ubuntu and kernel [23:41] test34: which is not possible [23:42] Sir_Konrad: I have no raid array, its just a little HTPC i slapped together, it was working great for 8months on 10.04 [23:42] Hi, i wonder if there a software that does document management just like fspot does for photo and banshee does for music [23:42] Gskellig: You asked 1482 peoples :) [23:42] thats true! [23:42] rahduke: hmm... [23:42] i litereally got Yes, no, yes, no [23:42] Thmstcls, so the source code to create the compilation of packages that is Ubuntu is not available? [23:43] test34: i guess if you want to get a list of all packages and download them and compile them then compile the kernel [23:43] lol [23:43] that's pretty retarded idea imo though [23:43] Gskellig: No, progress means changes: " can I get 10.10, with the same gui that 10.04 had" [23:43] Sir_Konrad: i cant get into grub, I cant do anything ive reset the bios like 20 time, all i get is a horizontal blinking cursor and a flickering screen [23:43] Thmstcls, it is not retarded if you want to create your own distribution based off Ubuntu [23:43] i mean from other people answering [23:44] Thmstcls, I would think it's smart [23:44] so just leave the packages all non 686 optimized? [23:44] test34: I agree, creating a personalized distro would be nice so packages dont have to be added after the install [23:44] if you have the hardware [23:44] rahduke: does you comp have a connected USB pendrive or otyher bootable device [23:44] Gskellig: The package 'netbook-launcher' is what provided 10.04's UNR interface. You'll note that it's not in Maverick. Therefore, I'm correct. [23:45] it would take a very long time to compile hundreds to thousands of packages by the way [23:45] Gskellig: alternatively, click the first arrow on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbook-launcher/+publishinghistory and note the "Deleted: superseded by unity, not maintained any more" [23:45] i was asking if it was possible to get netbook-launcher in 10.10 [23:45] shadyabhi: no it didnt, now i put a live USB in to see if I can get into my logs [23:45] even if its not supported [23:45] Gskellig: it's not, it was removed from the archive. [23:45] ah okay [23:45] Thmstcls: :) [23:45] Gskellig: Well, its possible, but not very likely as it would take much much work. The others where wrong. [23:45] guess i'll just use 10.04 then [23:45] :) ? [23:45] im seriously so frustrated [23:45] yes area51pilot [23:45] Gskellig: In a sence, but not entirely [23:45] Look at this gparted screen-shot - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/ILyekkaKai/Screenshot--dev-sdb-GParted.png - I want to extend my extended partition /dev/sdb2 into the unallocated space at start of the drive, allowing me to extend /dev/sdb5 to fill up the resized extended partition. But when I prepare the changes in gparted live CD, it warns me I may not be able to boot my computer after changes are applied. [23:45] test34: I don't know for Ubuntu, but Debian is here: http://git.debian.org/ [23:45] rahduke: I dont think there will be logs.. bcos u said grub didnt compe up [23:45] Should I ignore the warning and continue, and how difficult will it be to fix if I can't boot? [23:46] mscotta: wouldn't that be pretty unstable? [23:46] ilyekkakai: you should always make a security copy before do something, yes [23:46] Thmstcls: about the time for compiling, but it wouldbe a nice deal to remaster [23:46] shadyabhi: ya that makes sense, do you have any ideas at all? I've tested my memory, ive reset my bios, ive done everything i can think of [23:46] ilyekkakai: you can't boot from an extended partition. that partitioning screenshot isn't going to be bootable. [23:46] Thmstcls: why? [23:46] xangua - how do I do that? [23:47] ilyekkakai: the "fix" is to have at least one primary partition you can boot from. [23:47] Thmstcls, you could rent some CPU time and do it in a few minutes [23:47] rahduke: Can you boot through USB? [23:47] lol test34, touche i guess [23:47] rww, well, no one told the computer, since it boots quite happily from that configuration. [23:47] My "cdrom" is found when I use 10.04 LTS. Weird. [23:47] ilyekkakai: odd. [23:47] mscotta: does the git for debian use non-stable versions? [23:48] Thmstcls: /j #debian [23:48] Gskellig: As for now the followings are not following common practices: [Sonic132, blakkheim, rww] === inve is now known as unkw [23:48] lol xangua, i have no desire to ask a question like that [23:48] in debian [23:48] hi how do i uninstall ubuntu? [23:48] Thmstcls: did you know how it works git? [23:49] shadyabhi: yea im running a live 10.10 usb stick right now [23:49] EeveeTrainer: see mscotta's answer [23:49] EeveeTrainer: you format ubuntu's partition [23:49] mscotta: lol yes i use it regularly with projects [23:49] Thmstcls: Do not be afraid my friend. [23:49] shadyabhi: it recognizes my filesystem, all the files look fine.... I have no idea what is going on [23:49] mscotta, wow, that website is great! [23:49] Anyone know how I might use dbus-send to send a message via MSN using Telepathy? [23:49] rahduke: Just reinstall the grub anyway. It wont hurt to reinstall the grub. === akira is now known as zarzar [23:49] RastaHunden: why would i be? this is ubuntu =D [23:49] Thmstcls: To ask [23:50] Thmstcls: well the linux kernel use git but there is different branch [23:50] mscotta: so...the original question was still invalid like i told him anyways [23:50] <_16BitSoft_> ugg, Ubuntu 11.04 will not have Gnome? [23:50] Thmstcls: git got git checkout and whatnot :) [23:50] shadyabhi: how would i do that from alivecd? [23:50] Thmstcls: excuse me, can you repeat? [23:50] short of downloading every package's source and compiling, then compiling the linux kernel [23:50] you can't 'compile ubuntu' [23:51] hi [23:51] and it would still be pointless [23:51] Benkinooby: I'm glad for you [23:51] _16BitSoft_: it won't? [23:51] some guy asked if you can 'compile the linux kernel and ubuntu from source' [23:51] <_16BitSoft_> Sir_Konrad - not by default [23:51] Thmstcls: Learning is never pointless. [23:51] ubottu: unity | _16BitSoft_ [23:51] _16BitSoft_: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com for more information. [23:51] _16BitSoft_: what will it use? [23:51] RastaHunden: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:51] RastaHunden: lol, i school enough and work enough to be constantly learning [23:51] have anyone been able to run sims 3 on ubuntu 10.10 ? [23:51] <_16BitSoft_> Sir_Konrad "Unity" [23:52] Can anyone reccomend a good music manager/player. I love winamp on windows...don't like Amarok [23:52] Thmstcls: Thats good. [23:52] RastaHunden: and i know how git works. i said already i use it regularly [23:52] _16BitSoft_: you're kidding me... [23:52] shadyabhi: ? [23:52] <_16BitSoft_> Sir_Konrad - not [23:52] Reno__: banshee does well. [23:52] RastaHunden: if you want an intellectual throwdown just pm me anytime mister man [23:52] rahduke: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:52] _16BitSoft_: Unity 11.04 will use the entire GNOME stack except GNOME-shell. It's GNOME. [23:52] Reno__: Banshee [23:52] Reno__: have you tried rhytmbox? [23:52] RastaHunden: Sorry to bug you.. posted you by mistake [23:53] Gskellig, hm, maybe if the gui is still in the repos of 10.04 you can fetch the source and compile it. but that's a lot of work, and as mentioned before: it's not supported. if you want a netbookgui-like interface (this is what i understood) you could also give kde a shot. kde is much more flexible that gnome can be modfied very easily. [23:53] Thmstcls: I have no need for that. [23:53] shadyabhi: Np [23:53] <_16BitSoft_> I like Gnome [23:53] <_16BitSoft_> KDE is terrible [23:53] Thmstcls: Be open to most anything and the world will come to you. [23:53] i sue fluxbox :P [23:53] sue=use [23:53] Banshee/rhythmbox I'll check em out [23:53] _16BitSoft_: is KDE terrible even in 10.04? [23:53] and tmux hahahaha [23:54] <_16BitSoft_> I don't like KDE menus [23:54] benkinooby: all I really want is ubuntu that takes up almost no screen space for my netbook. i tried to customize normal ubuntu but it was too hard and I some stuff was still huge [23:54] shadyabhi: that does explain how to install it from a LIVEcd to an existing install [23:54] kde is terrible* [23:54] Thmstcls: If you find idiots along the way, let us know ;) [23:54] Gskellig, tried netbook remix? [23:54] kn100: what are you using now? GNOME or Xfce? [23:54] RastaHunden: you are a bad troll... [23:54] _16BitSoft_, it depends very much.i like kde more than gnome, but i love fluxbox. [23:54] rahduke: ya. so thats what you want [23:54] RastaHunden: Can you keep your offtopic comments to yourself, please? [23:54] Sir_Konrad, right now, Gnome but generally openbox [23:54] kn100, thats my problem lol... UNR 10.10 uses unity which is super slow and laggy [23:55] Daani: have you tried? [23:55] Gskellig: then use 10.04 for now, and check out 11.04 when it comes out (with Unity based on Compiz instead) [23:55] is KDE easy to customize to make it small ? [23:55] KDE 3.5 was good. [23:55] Gskellig: not anymore [23:55] unity based compiz? [23:55] does anyone know whya ubuntu 10.10 dosent work with gorm or project center? [23:55] sweet! [23:55] compiz based unity? [23:55] =P [23:55] Thmstcls: in 11.04, yes. [23:55] <_16BitSoft_> I find Gnome to be most flexible [23:55] rww - Thmstcls: Oh well. Have fun the one of you. [23:55] lol no, i was just correcting the order [23:55] ah [23:55] =P [23:56] Gskellig, hm, so there are 2 options you can try: first use kde, it is a big desktop environment like gnome but is very customizable. i used it for a long time and loved it. second is you use a smaller gui like fluxbox, xfce or stuff like that and modify them if needed. second option also needs less resources. [23:56] kn100: I think I know what GUI I'll use on Ubuntu. :P [23:57] gnome isn't too heavy on resources [23:57] depending on what you add [23:57] GNOME - The best Desktop ever made! [23:57] Sir_Konrad, I generally use openbox for almost everything but when i'm in a 'I just want my computer to work' mood I use Gnome even though it's slow in comparison [23:57] Thmstcls, ths also apllies to kde ;) [23:57] naah [23:57] Benkinooby: i assumed it was pretty comparable =P just not a fan [23:57] kn100: openbox isn't for the weak? [23:57] so have to leave KDE out of it =P [23:58] Openbox isn't too hard [23:58] fluxbox neither [23:58] openbox + tint2 or something [23:58] <_16BitSoft_> RastaHunden - YES! - Gnome is greatest [23:58] yeah i was a fluxbox to openbox convert ;) [23:58] !ot [23:58] #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! [23:58] I would use KDE, but KDE 4 left a bad taste in my mouth. [23:58] The KDe people always seemed so hostile. I started coding GK and then GTK,+ ... Utmost great! [23:58] <_16BitSoft_> oh no! ubuttu is angry, sorry [23:59] sorry, didn't notice any open issues / questiosn [23:59] Gskellig, hm, maybe an other possible solution is to stzay with gnome, and make good use of gnome-do or kupfer or any software like that [23:59] !ubuttu [23:59] Thmstcls: It doesn't matter. If it's offtopic, use the offtopic channel ;) [23:59] Gskellig: what do you want to do?
