[00:20] Ok can someone walk me through how to fix it so that my nvidia drivers are installed into xorg (I believe) correctly? Cause I downloaded them from package manager since they wouldn't show up from drivers. [00:21] does the installation of Ubuntu do smth with the formatting of my NTRS disk? [00:21] Leijon7: Having Ubuntu on the disk will not in any way prevent the windows installer from working as normal. [00:23] I'm thinking that to install the nvidia driver. I'll need to uninstall everything associated with it. And then reinstall. But like I said it's not installing it into zorg for some reason. So it's as if the drivers aren't even there. [00:23] Hi everybody. I'm having an issue here with Maverick. I had the 32bit version, now I have the 64bit version and the problem persists.

[00:24] hey all, what is the link for setting up lamp in ubuntu? i need to get the apache2 configured to allow php to read the .php, .html, .htm, .php3 extentions and get the site "turned on" so i can test stuff but i can't figure it out on my own it would appear [00:24] !lamp [00:24] 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+) [00:25] mactimes: This is from looking at the physical screen?

I think it will be easier to identify what is going on if I show it. [00:28] I made a clean installation of ubuntu and wonder how openoffic is executed? do I need to have jvm installed for it to run? [00:28] acidbirther, msg [00:29] eli_: By opening it from the Applications>Office menu? [00:30] hrmmm... any way to throttle the Ubuntu package upgrade download speed? So that I can do my upgrade in 'background' without choking the net to death [00:30] I wonder if openoffice is run by the java virtual machine? [00:30] eli_: As far as I know. if you installed openoffice with Ubuntu it should already work. [00:30] eli_, it should work, but it is java [00:30] mine workd but wonder it it runs on the jvm or not [00:30] Someone show me how to install nvidia-current into xorg? By editing the xorg files. Unless there is an easier way of course. [00:30] eli_: A java runtime enviroment is needed for select parts to operate but should not be mandatory [00:30] eli_: No, Open Office is mostly C++ [00:31] okej then I could ran O.O without having java installed [00:31] Jordan_U, Diamondcite The weirdest thing: When recording the screen with gtk-recordmydesktop, it doesn't show! [00:31] I could actually uninstall jvm and see if it still works! [00:31] but nobody here has done it? [00:32] eli_, nevermind I was wrong [00:32] mactimes: That would imply that the screen is updating (X side), maybe you can try to disbale compositing or screen grabbers?) [00:32] eli_, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Java_and_OpenOffice.org [00:32] eli_, If you do not require database tables or accessibility integration or some wizards, then you do not need to download and install Java. [00:32] Ok how about making Ubuntu notice the driver so that it will install the nvidia driver intself. [00:33] Any ideas?

[00:33] hi, i'm trying to retrieve the root password from my server. i can log into root via ssh using the rsa key pair [00:35] i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get the pw back [00:35] libertyprime_: I don't know of any ways to read a root password.. [00:35] libertyprime_: The most a user can do is reset the password.. [00:35] libertyprime_, you probably need to crack it.. but it is probably easier to just reset it [00:35] libertyprime_: Ubuntu does not have a root password by default, and there is no way to determine any user's password even if you can log in as them by other means. [00:35] libertyprime_: if you log in as root, just reset it [00:35] libertyprime_, I have an idea [00:36] passwd =p [00:36] i was afraid of that [00:36] :D [00:36] passwd you say [00:36] If I just want a really lightweight and snappy Ubuntu, should i get Xubuntu? [00:36] libertyprime_, if you are affraid of that then perhaps you are not supposed to be root [00:36] I just ran `find "$HOME" \! -user "$USER"` and it returned a considerable amount of files... ok, probably I didn't know when not to use sudo back in the days... [00:36] libertyprime_, if you can't passwd root, create a sudoer and use it to reset root password [00:36] libertyprime_: sudo -H -i [00:37] then passwd [00:37] ya, its just that sound twat changed the password without telling me [00:37] lol [00:37] some* [00:37] Diamondcite: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524756/ It's probably because I installed the package through package manager instead of with the driver app. [00:37] don't give out root password [00:37] libertyprime_: Do you have sudo access? [00:37] ever [00:37] i have root access [00:37] but dont know the pw [00:38] haha [00:38] i don't think you should have root access =p [00:38] just change password with passwd [00:38] I'm running a reinstall from terminal.

This works when I run it in a terminal and when I double click on the .sh file and choose "run". However when I run it from a launcher or double click on it then choose "Run in terminal" it does execute "ib [00:41] us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help?

[01:01] Wipster: I'd probably end up using Perl to do that [01:01] Pilif|hw: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:01] uberspaced: /home/jeff/.mozilla/firefox/xmk99awi.default/bookmarks.html [01:01] Jordan_U: there's no 3D acceleration...and under system information on Display at OpenGL there's no vendor nor renderer [01:01] I don't know what tools to use. [01:01] jeffreyf: yeah, that's your offender probably. [01:02] Wipster, tail --bytes=N [01:02] IdleOne: unless xchat is hiding it/i was kicked, i'm not in there.. http://yfrog.com/ncselection025p [01:02] Wipster, tail --bytes=N myfile [01:02] test34: yay. [01:02] Pilif|hw: i see what you're writing. [01:03] uberspaced: ? [01:03] hallo: Can you pastebin the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [01:03] Pilif|hw: ah, you're talking about being somewhere else. [01:03] uberspaced: looks like it worked. thanks [01:03] np. [01:03] uberspaced, I was thinking perl too at first [01:03] or maybe znc is hiding it from me... [01:04] either way i should be doing homework [01:04] test34: yeah, but then you were probably all like "Isn't there something at reads stuff from the end of a file?" :) [01:04] Pilif|hw: it may be detached yes, anyway don't worry about it for now. [01:04] <_16BitSubsystem_> well that's all people. [01:04] <_16BitSubsystem_> Good night everybody. [01:04] g'night. [01:05] test34, that is perfect thanks [01:05] only one core is showing on my i5-650 cpu. dmidecode shows 2 cores, /proc/cpuinfo shows 1. ideas? [01:05] uberspaced, google to the rescue again.. https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=linux+get+last+bytes+file [01:05] rypervenche: Try changing line 7 to "ibus-daemon --xim > /tmp/ibus-daemon-launcher.log 2>&1 &" [01:05] My older CRT monitor died on me, and I only have a 17" flat panel monitor that cannot support the resolutions I have set at Optimum 1280x 1024 60Hz and I can't login to Ubuntu to make the changes to a lower resolution my 17" flat panel can support... [01:06] test34, ahh my googlefu was not strong enough... was being a bit too specific I think [01:06] what do I do after login to terminel? [01:06] pal3rid3r: sudo service gdm stop [01:06] sudo Xorg -configure [01:07] ok and that will allow me to login to Ubuntu 10.4.1? [01:07] who knows. you can do this first: [01:07] man Xorg [01:07] and then type: /-configure [01:07] Wipster, did you try: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+last+80+bytes ? :) [01:08] it will take you to the man section which tells you what the -configure option does. [01:08] uberspaced: they came back! lol [01:08] jeffreyf: then firefox isn't closed for tha tuser. [01:08] Ok thanks! [01:08] pkill firefox [01:08] Jordan_U: It did not work. It created the file in /tmp but the file was empty. Ibus-daemon did not start. [01:08] and then pgrep firefox to see if it's dead. [01:08] if it's not, pkill -9 firefox [01:08] test34, more along the lines of "linux dd read end of file" I possibly need sleep [01:08] then remove the file. [01:08] ioyooot [01:09] How do I change my VGA's screen resolution to 1280x1024 when it's not listed? I know the monitor supports this size. [01:09] Does anyone here no anything about fibre? [01:09] hi, "http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer" still points to wubi which tells me it will install ubuntu 10.04.1...what gives? How can I install 10.10? [01:09] dbdii407: do you know if your video card supports that resolution? [01:09] how do I install my graphics drivers from the command line? [01:09] and if that video driver supports it as well? [01:09] uberspaced, I had no issues on Arch [01:10] jeebus. a lot of questions about X. [01:10] and I, for the most part, configure xorg.conf by hand. [01:10] I have no problem with that [01:10] I had to do that on Arch [01:10] dbdii407: so then back up your xorg.conf file [01:11] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/waipsLQr [01:11] manually put in entries for your graphics card, monitor and screen [01:11] and specify the driver and resolution yourself. [01:11] uberspaced, Ubuntu doesn't start when I use the one from Arch [01:11] man xorg.conf should tell you where you can find drivers [01:11] how do I install my graphics drivers from the command line? This is an emergency. I need to get my homework back, and I uninstalled my graphics drivers by accident. [01:11] and what drivers are already available. [01:11] I had to boot the live disk and delete the file [01:11] I used ati on arch [01:12] pr0xy: your best bet would be to try to back your homework up first ;) [01:12] uberspaced that's not helpful. it was a mistake. [01:12] Jordan_U: should i go with sudo apt-get install fglrx ? [01:12] pr0xy, dpkg -l | grep xorg | grep rr should list any removed xorg packages [01:12] hallo: No. fglrx no longer supports your card. [01:13] pr0xy: I meant before you start messing with other things [01:13] not before the problem began. [01:13] (I wasn't trying to be a jerk ;) ) [01:13] hallo: Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo"? [01:13] uberspaced I can't access anything at all. [01:13] i need help - only one core is showing on my i5-650 cpu. dmidecode shows 2 cores, /proc/cpuinfo shows 1. ideas? [01:13] uberspaced, did you get that? [01:14] id10t: grep -i name /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l [01:14] i'm at the grub command line? [01:14] pr0xy: I'm confused; when you say you can't access anything at all, is the box completely dead? [01:14] have you tried using ctrl + alt + f2 ? [01:14] Jordan_U: i have to intsll mesa-utils first right? [01:14] dbdii407: no, I missed something. [01:14] Does anyone know if ubuntu 10.04 supports fibre optic? [01:15] blakkheim, 1 [01:15] bRASIL? [01:15] pr0xy: whoops, just read the thing about grub. [01:15] id10t: i'd check your BIOS then [01:15] pr0xy: Can you boot a LiveCD? [01:15] uberspaced, When I use the 10-monitors.conf from Arch as xorg.conf on Ubuntu, I get black screens and I have to use the live-cd to remove the file [01:15] hallo: Yes. [01:15] hello to all [01:15] no. I get past grub and the plymouth splash. then I get some graphical error crap. I stopped it at grub this time. i'm at grub command line. I'll try a live CD. [01:16] pr0xy: edit the line [01:16] blakkheim, i think it is due to bios also because i either have to use noapic and nolapic ot boot or i have to turn off acpi and the other power management stuff in bios. either way, i don't get a boot or i don't get a core [01:16] and add single to the end of it. [01:16] blakkheim, but then i'm also thinkging it is a module issue [01:16] this will cause you to boot into single user mode. [01:16] once the machine has booted, you will be given a root prompt. [01:17] I have a question, how do I download Ubuntu on Windows with a download manager... I am having trouble [01:17] I recommend, if you have the ability, to copy your homework off to a usb stick before messing with anything else. [01:17] Oh, I can't boot a liveCD of maverick. only Lucid. My box is running maverick by update. [01:17] pr0xy: do you know how to boot into single user mode? [01:17] jaxop: don't, use a browser or torrent [01:17] jaxop, You should download it via the website which offers both direct and torrent downloads. [01:17] I have that homework. I dunno how to boot single user. [01:17] my secondary monitor (dvi) is fine [01:17] pr0xy: A lucid LiveCD will allow you to access your files. [01:17] pr0xy: are you still at the grub prompt? [01:18] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/YxJ2zH0i [01:18] I am. [01:18] hallo: You do have 3D accelleration. [01:18] yes, uberspaced. [01:19] I want to download Ubuntu directly from the website but I have an undependable internet connection. I need to use a a download manager to download it in parts from the website [01:19] pr0xy: so google for "ubuntu boot single user" [01:19] use a torrent [01:19] that does the same thing [01:19] jaxop: you can do it via torrent as well.. [01:19] jaxop: torrents DL in parts [01:19] jaxop, I would recommend torrent download. [01:19] and it will walk you through the steps of getting a root shell. [01:19] or at least getting into single user mode. [01:20] ok, so torrent is best... ok [01:20] Jordan_U: Do you happen to have any other ideas? [01:20] once you're there, you can reconfigure X, or edit /etc/xorg.conf, or put a usb stick in or whatever. [01:20] Jordan_U: and now i have a vendor and rendering...so...i guess that's it...no need to install anything... [01:20] Was wondering if someone can help me with some command-line things. Not really troubleshooting, more like curiosity. [01:20] !ask [01:20] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:20] angel_, Whats up? [01:21] angel_: ^^ [01:21] thanks S0LIDUS, Racecar56, izinucs, aeon-ltd [01:21] y/w [01:21] jaxop, np! [01:21] can't I just do like nomodeset and pass the graphicsy poop from nvidia cards? [01:21] pr0xy: if the thing doesn't even boot correctly, you need to get it to boot correctly first. [01:21] Any one know why the Sound Profile would have Digital Output + Analog Input but NOT Analog Output + Analog Input ?? [01:21] anyone made ati drivers work with 2.6.36 kernel? [01:22] Mission is to run Terminal only, without the GUI. [01:22] angel_: OK... and? [01:22] It's the crap that nomodeset gets past. Exactly that. [01:22] catalyst installs ok on all other default kernels [01:22] hi [01:22] hi === rusty_ is now known as notrusty [01:22] angel_, You should check out the ubuntu documentation for the terminal. [01:22] Well, basically that's it... I don't know how to aproach it. [01:22] help with asterisk [01:22] pr0xy: you trying to get an nvidia card working? [01:22] !ask [01:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:22] pr0xy: I'm not familiar with nomodeset [01:23] angel: this has good lists https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal === edwin is now known as Guest30465 [01:23] rypervenche: It may be a problem with $PATH. Try adding this to the script: if ! which ibus-daemon; then echo "Could not find ibus-daemon in PATH. Current PATH=$PATH" > /tmp/test.log; fi [01:23] I need to get my nvidia card to work. [01:23] pr0xy: so, try vesa first [01:23] i have a question i haven't been able to get an answer on yet... every once in a while my CPU usage goes really high, but it's about a full core of system time and no user time. everything gets really laggy. anybody seen this or know how to troubleshoot it? [01:23] and man xorg.conf [01:23] You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.35-22-generic kernel installed [01:23] What's recovery mode? and what's vesa? [01:23] pr0xy, Have you tried envy? [01:23] why? [01:23] what's envy? [01:24] pr0xy: single user mode is kind of like "recovery mode" [01:24] I'm a nub... [01:24] notrusty: could be lots of things! whats your rig? [01:24] unless you're using a "recovery disk" then that's completely different. [01:24] pr0xy: google PPA nvidia-vpau and when you go to that link it will give you another link for the latest nvidia drivers.. add the second links PPA to your repository list.. (instructions on the site) [01:24] notrusty, System - Administration - System Monitor , and see which process use the CPU [01:24] pr0xy, Envy finds and installs the latest graphics drivers for your GPU. [01:24] Thank you for your help. [01:24] test34, it's not a user process. they're all around 1% [01:24] pr0xy: don't use envy.. gad I haven't heard that in month.. [01:24] angel_, np! [01:24] !envy [01:24] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [01:24] skooternb, I've got a quadcore i920 with an nvidia 9800 and the restricted drivers... [01:25] notrusty, "ps aux" at the command prompt then [01:25] I just installed libtaglib2.0-cil [01:25] from aptitude, how do I find out how to use it? [01:25] pr0xy: the ppa works awesome/fine .. [01:26] test34, I'll try next time it happens; can't trigger it on purpose yet [01:26] notrusty, you could also try "top" utility [01:26] notrusty: i recommend the same as test34, see the processes, doesn't seem like it would be your comp [01:27] mecablaze: you cannot "use" a library [01:27] mecablaze: what do you want to do? [01:27] so what do I do from the grub command line. explain as you would to a total noob/ [01:27] test34, skooternb: when it happens, top shows 75% idle, 0% user, 25% system. The top CPU using process will be 0-2%, so it seems to NOT be a user process... [01:27] Jordan_U: Nope, it is in /usr/bin/ and it showed no file in /tmp . It's strange because it DOES work when I run it in a terminal, but in a launcher the terminal window closes after I close the game. [01:27] racecar56, I want to play around with TagLib [01:27] pr0xy: press "e" to edit the current thing [01:27] i suspect a kernel module [01:27] move to the line beginning with "kernel" [01:28] pr0xy: you have "no" gui right now? [01:28] at the end of that line, put a space and then the word "single" [01:28] and then press enter. [01:28] g'night guys :D [01:28] then press 'b' to boot. [01:28] bye [01:28] no line starts with "kernel" and I have no GUI. [01:28] Night! zzzzZZZ [01:28] lol [01:28] pr0xy: you're at a grub "prompt" or a grub menu? [01:28] pr0xy: k.. hang on.. I'll get a link you can use with wget [01:28] menu [01:28] how did you get to the grub prompt? [01:28] ok [01:28] so menu === Nayr is now known as Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [01:29] so, do the up and down arrow keys work? [01:29] Hi all. [01:29] is there only one thing listed? [01:29] [01:29] ads, Hi! [01:29] On Ubuntu 10.4 I can't get my Apache2/PHP log/show php errors. [01:29] Jordan_U: Ok, I just tried using it in a launcher as a program and it works fine. However when I choose to "Run in terminal" it doesn't work. [01:30] ah! triggered again. checking ps aux. [01:30] Tried every php option which comes into my mind - nothing. I just get a blank page. [01:30] Any way to easily import gmail's contact's into thunderbird? it seems like they arent compatible [01:30] so it's "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic" and then that with recovery mode and then some other crap like memory test and XP [01:30] move to the kernel to start,then press "e" [01:30] pr0xy: god, we're getting some where. [01:30] Where are libraries installed to when getting them from aptitude? so I can use them in my c++ program. I have never used a pre-built non-std library so bear with me [01:30] Jordan_U: I want to see the terminal while I play the game to see any error messages. Is there a way I can have the shell script open terminal and do all of those actions in the terminal? [01:30] *good [01:30] notrusty: second slow down? [01:31] mecablaze: /lib and /usr/lib -- though if you want to be able to compile against them, you need the -dev packages of the libraries (so you have the headers) [01:31] skooternb, yeah, it triggers maybe once every half hour. [01:31] so now what? [01:31] test34, just do it manually by clicking any "add contacts" button or something [01:31] skooternb, definitely nothing in ps aux using more than 2% CPU that i see [01:31] pr0xy: type the following... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [01:31] pr0xy: when you pressed 'e', can you move around and type stuff? [01:31] into what, izinucs? [01:32] yeah, uberspaced. [01:32] pr0xy: there's going to be a line that begins with kernel [01:32] there isn't [01:32] at the end of that line, add a space then the word "single" [01:32] how can i set a custom screen size on ubuntu 10.10? [01:32] like 1280x690? [01:32] * Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ [01:32] pr0xy: press enter, then press e [01:32] see if that does it. [01:32] pr0xy: sorry.. boot the macine normally.. the graphics display will be screwed up like normal or black.. you should be able to CTRL+ALT+F2 and get to a TTY login prompt.. that's where you type it. [01:33] Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, thanks for trying [01:33] Is there a command which I can use to disable internet that will not reset itself when the computer reboots? [01:33] evening everyone. has anyone had any issues with applets resizing and/or disappearing on 10.10? Ive been notivcing some wierd behavior that didnt happen on 10.04 [01:33] test34, lol anytime [01:33] how can i set a custom screen size on ubuntu 10.10? [01:33] izinucs: the way he made it sound was the graphics drivers were completely hosed; I could be going about this the loooong way [01:33] test34, you had to count all the z's. sorry XD [01:34] uberspaced: perhaps they are.. still should be able to get to a tty.. or boot into the rescue kernel [01:34] lightsab8r: the xrandr commands let you change sizes via the command line. but that woldent be permenet. [01:34] notrusty: and there is nothing in the background? is it a dual os system? [01:34] Is there a command which I can use to disable internet that will not reset itself when the computer reboots? [01:34] phantom boot hah [01:34] ok. nothing at ctrl+alt+f2 [01:34] skooternb, no, single OS, fresh ubuntu install [01:34] !repeat > Solved [01:34] Solved, please see my private message [01:34] pr0xy: try it a couple times in a row.. if that doesn't work boot to the rescue kernel. [01:35] Dr_Willis: i have a 720p 32" samsung LCD. i cannot see the top gnome bar at all. [01:35] Sorry, I just lost my connection and missed any answer someone may have given me. Where are libraries installed to when getting them from aptitude? so I can use them in my c++ program. I have never used a pre-built non-std library so bear with me [01:35] pr0xy: I saw you mentioned "nomodset".. did you try that? [01:35] Dr_Willis: its cureently set at 1280x720 [01:35] lightsab8r, You should try an auto adjustment from your TV menu! [01:36] doesnt have auto-adjust [01:36] ooh. I dunno how to try nomodeset... [01:36] only at the first install. btw these graphical errors remind me of magic eye. [01:37] lightsab8er, its probably a simple problem with the arrangement of the desktop to you moniter. there should be a button on the bottum of the moniter (or somewhere else) for "menu" and then try and move the screen down from there [01:37] how do I do nomodeset [01:37] my lcd doesnt have auto adjust. its a 4 year old 32' tv lcd [01:38] lightsab8er, right. [01:38] pr0xy: someone mentioned earlier how to get to the kernel line on boot.. I've forgotten.. however once there at the end of the line you'll see "quiet splash" .. just before those two words you type in nomodset in lower case.. then hit enter to continue the boot process. [01:38] lightsab8er, thats why you would do it manually [01:38] lightsab8r, Does it have any PC options at all? [01:38] no [01:38] Is there a command to disable internet connection (and one to re-enable it)? [01:38] lightsab8er, if its a tv lcd than its a bit more dificult to adjust [01:39] in windows 7 i use nvidia's software to manually adjust resolution [01:39] another symptom is that when this is happening and i'm playing a vdpau movie, moving the mplayer window outputs: [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_block_until_surface_idle: A catch-all error, used when no other error code applies. [01:39] Solved, I know there is one, I just dont remember it. Sorry! [01:39] Jordan_U: I'm still very new to shell scripts, so I don't quite know if/how I would be able to do that. [01:39] in windows 7 my resolution is 1212x680 [01:40] how can i set that resolution in ubuntu [01:40] lightsab8r: same in ubuntu.. if you're using the nvidia drivers.. it's called nvidia-settings [01:40] OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!! [01:40] anyway, I need to get some sleep. g'night guys [01:40] pr0xy: with nomodset? [01:40] bye Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [01:40] now i feel retarded. [01:40] thx [01:40] Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, Nite! [01:40] :D [01:40] pr0xy: you're not done yet.. was that with nomodset? [01:41] ya nomodeset. I didn't know how to do It. thx === Lenin_Cat is now known as CIA [01:41] ya. nomodeset === CIA is now known as Lenin_CIA [01:41] pr0xy: np.. now do the other line I gave you about sudo add-apt etc etc [01:41] Is there a command to disable internet connection (and one to re-enable it)? [01:41] Imma install the drivers. [01:41] ifconfig down [01:41] ifconfig up [01:41] Solved: what do you mean "disable internet" [01:42] pr0xy: if you want the newest drivers do the line I mentioned. [01:42] ewww. awn is fugly nao. [01:42] oops sorry [01:42] that was changed i believe [01:42] uberspaced: make internet non-functional temporarily [01:42] Solved, look at i_is_broke [01:42] do you mean just stuff over port 80 and 443, like web browsing? [01:42] like to prevent a child from using the internet [01:42] when? not just in the additional drivers? [01:42] or do you want to bring down networking entirely? [01:42] yes. [01:42] networking entirely? [01:42] one that will not reset when computer is rebooted [01:42] just no internet acess [01:42] and be able to enable it again with a command [01:43] Solved, Pull the wire on it! lol [01:43] pr0xy: no.. the line I gave you will add a repository that has the newest driver.. once added type this.. sudo apt-get update .. then go to system>admin>hardware drivers and choose "current version" [01:43] Solved: maybe a couple of iptables rules would help [01:43] I know there is sudo ifconfig eth0 (down/up) but it only disables until computer is restarted [01:43] izinucs what's the command one? === xumuk_ is now known as XuMuK [01:44] pr0xy: type the following... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [01:44] Solved: so, would you be OK with the idea that networking was down when the box booted? [01:44] or just web browsing ports like 80 and 443? [01:44] no. [01:44] hi. Chromium just went from version 6 to 7. I thought Ubuntu only did bugfix updates in-between releases? [01:45] I want internet to be functional when computer is restarted UNLESS i disable it before it is shut off [01:45] um. what did that do?

[01:46] Solved: Maybe you can make it instead so that internet is only use when you ask for it to begin with> [01:46] pr0xy: yes.. *new* version drivers [01:47] there is no command that will disable internet until I enable it again? [01:47] with the proper scripting you could set up the networking that way. but it could be an annoyance if not done right. :) [01:47] Solved: I'm not yet aware of previous state aware network yet. but it can always be scripted ^_^ [01:47] pr0xy: go for it.. dinner calls.. System>admin>hardware drivers to activate them [01:47] Solved: iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -dport 80 -j DROP [01:47] Solved: not by default that ive seen.. Other then perhaps moveing some config/system files. [01:47] ok. [01:47] iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -dport 443 -j DROP [01:47] Solved: Supposedly you can tell network manager to not connect to a certain connection automatically [01:47] but then you have to get that to load at boot. [01:47] thx izinucs. enjoy your noms. [01:47] uck [01:47] is it possible to take over a 'pts/#' session? I left an SSH window open iwth a program running and i want to know if i can take it over somehow [01:47] uberspaced: hmm [01:48] I just reimaged my laptop, how do I get the wireless icon back?? nm-applet doesnt show on my panel, I have to configure everything manually, i.e. scan using command line, then set the ssid but I dont know how to do this on the command line using a secure accesspoint [01:48] Solved: that's the best I can do right now. [01:48] thanks anyways [01:48] steve: I'm not aware of any way to do that.. when such things tend to happen I use 'screen' so I can see it. [01:48] Solved: you could always have rc.local watch some specific 'flag' type file. and make it stop networking if it exists.. [01:48] you need to add those rules to your firewall when the computer boots. [01:49] Solved: no problem. the thing about this stuff is parental controls may still entirely be "do it yourself" [01:49] Diamondcite: how? [01:49] kk, thanks anyways all [01:49] bb [01:49] How can I open a terminal and input multiple lines from a shell script? [01:49] Solved: or set up static ip information, then set the infomation to be wrong as part of a script. then set it back right to reenable networking. [01:49] steve there is a terminal program known as "screen" it runs a detachable terminal which you can re-attach at will. [01:50] Diamondcite: do i have to connect to a screen session instead of a regular one? [01:50] Diamondcite: yes I see that... just wondering if it's possible to do it without screen. [01:50] steve: It basically works like this,.. As a user you can log in as.. start screen [01:51] steve: When screen starts run the app you want to keep track of inside it. [01:51] steve: use ctrl+a +d to detach [01:51] steve: and "screen -r" to get back to it "screen -x" to share it [01:53] anyone here uses wireless with ubuntu? Wireless is not working on my laptop, I cant get the wireless icon to appear on my panel [01:53] ``` [01:54] wuhuhuhuhuhu. it are work! [01:54] tycemiux_mob: add notification area [01:54] How can I open a terminal and input multiple lines into it all from a shell script? [01:55] to the panel [01:55] lol I skipped plymouth.

I want to do a few terminal commands and be able to run them all just by clicking on a launcher or using a hotkey.

[01:57] brasero [01:57] rypervenche: that paste didn't work [01:57] does it let me choose burn speed? [01:57] uberspaced: I'm sorry, http://pastebin.com/iSmJ2TJA [01:57] what you need to do is: [01:57] create a file, called "run.sh" [01:57] chmod +x the file, and then at the top put: #!/usr/bin/bash [01:58] or #!bin/bash [01:58] and then put the commands in there. [01:58] you need to learn bash scripting. [01:58] dustring010: brasero does let you choose it [01:58] rypervenche: google for bash scripting guide [01:58] dustring010: i use k3b [01:58] uberspaced: I already did that. What I sent you is what is inside the shell script. [01:58] dustring010: I think you go into properties, when burning [01:59] uberspaced: except for those 4 lines I added at the end [01:59] uberspaced: It works fine when I open the .sh flie in a terminal, it starts ibus-daemon after I close the java game, but when I try to open it using a launcher in "run in terminal" mode, it doesn't start ibus-daemon [02:00] kk tyvm :P [02:00] rypervenche: that I don't know about. I don't know what differences there are with "run in terminal" [02:00] Is it possible to change the keyboard layout on the console per-user (or per-session)? [02:01] hi, I'm having problems with my wired lan. For some reason the device doesn't seem to exist according to ubuntu. I can see my wifi NIC just fine but my wired one, eth0, isn't there. Would anyone be able to help me with this? [02:01] uberspaced: Well, I'm looking for another way to do it then. How can I have my script open a terminal, then input those lines into the terminal that was opened? [02:01] eikonos: not the console no, you can do it for X but the console is system wide [02:01] hi [02:01] Dulak: really? huh [02:01] rypervenche: i don't know. [02:02] i don't use window managers that way. [02:02] i can't install modx cms - it says To use PHP 5.3.0+, you must set the date.timezone setting in your php.ini. I've set it in both /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini but still it gives the same error. is there any other php.ini to configure? does anyone know what might be the problem? (i've restarted the webserver - apache) [02:02] hey everyone. I am trying to stop subsonic which is running on java. is it possible to stop an instance of java that runs the subsonic process? [02:02] rypervenche: why don't you output errors to a file to see what's going on when you do run in terminal: command 2> error.out or something [02:02] <[1]ichi> hello [02:03] i'm trying to create a usb installer for ubuntu 10.10 from my arch linux install. so far dd=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb1 (and sdb) have failed to boot. unetbootin will boot to a init not found try init= bootarg error. any ideas?

[02:06] Help Please File Not Found Error Ubuntu 10.10 Places Menu === zz_Crisco is now known as Crisco [02:07] tr3nton: There are no errors. It works fine whenever I run a terminal then type ./script.sh and when I link a launcher to it. However, I want to have a terminal window open so I can see things happening, and this is where I run into the problem. [02:07] <[1]ichi> i've tried ubuntu 9.04 but i can't change the login screen cause of gdm2... if someone can help.. [02:07] tr3nton: So since it won't work with the "run in terminal" feature, I would like to find a workaround. [02:07] blakkheim, how do I know where the programs get installed [02:07] i'm trying to create a usb installer for ubuntu 10.10 from my arch linux install. so far dd of=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb1 (and sdb) have failed to boot. unetbootin will boot to a init not found try init= bootarg error. i've partitioned sdb as the MBR and sdb1 and a FAT filesystem. I assume the usb drive is still good because i installed arch with it a week ago [02:08] hello im trying to find a program like net suspender for linux. i used wine, but it doesnt do anything when using it on linux [02:08] !jaunty | [1]ichi [02:08] [1]ichi: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [02:08] Drunken: i've always had problems with USB flash drives [02:08] phoenix__: What does suspender do? [02:08] rypervenche: so when you double click the script, and say run in terminal, no errors are output? are you saying errors happen when you do ./script.sh in terminal? [02:08] [1]ichi: it is also unsupported.. [02:08] eep ubuntu 9.04 died [02:08] i didn't even notice [02:08] chuckTF: man dpkg [02:08] !10.04 [02:08] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [02:08] racecar56: This is the first issue I've had. Unfortunately my netbook doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. [02:09] Diamodcite suspender lags the internet [02:09] Drunken: netbooks can boot usb drives [02:09] Drunken: when i installed debian, i used a bad kludge for my netbook [02:09] tr3nton: Correct, no errors. When I do ./script.sh in a terminal it works as it should. [02:09] <[1]ichi> 10.04 is unsupported? oO [02:09] blakkheim, i have tried to read through that -- i guess i'll give it another look [02:09] Gnea: I've very aware of that [02:09] so where do errors come about? *confuse* [02:09] [1]ichi: where did you read that at? [02:09] [1]ichi: no, you said 9.04 [02:09] Gnea: it's the flaky design of USB drive booting things [02:09] tr3nton: However, I would like to start all of this from either a hotkey or launcher, thus my problem remains. [02:09] <[1]ichi> oh sorry [02:09] Gnea: But i can't get my thumbdrive bootable. :P [02:10] Drunken: i connected a standard CD drive to a SATA enclosure to my netbook [02:10] Drunken: a very messy setup indeed, but it worked [02:10] racecar56: I know what you mean, sometimes you just have to press enter a few extra times, but I've had good success with sandisk [02:10] Drunken: why not? [02:10] racecar56: I'm in a hotel room with just my netbook. dd worked last time. but i have no clue what the deal is this time [02:10] <[1]ichi> and in 10.04 can i change the login screen? i know that seems stupid but i want a totally personalized os... [02:10] Drunken: to install ubuntu on it, i used a cheap CD drive from ebay, it wouldn't work. i popped in another slim CD drive i had into the enclosure, it worked fine === bjorn248 is now known as bjorn_248 [02:11] Drunken: you have to go to the bios on each boot and change the boot drive around [02:11] [1]ichi: if you want "totally personalized" you shouldn't be using a binary distribution like ubuntu [02:11] rypervenche: so when you do it through a launcher, that's when it doesn't work as expected? when doing that method, are any errors output doing what I suggested? [02:11] <[1]ichi> oh. ok [02:11] Gnea: The thumb drive either won't boot (if the iso was cooked onto /dev/sdb) or Missing operating sytem if the iso was cooked onto sdb1 [02:12] [1]ichi: ubuntu can only be personalized so far, it's more of an os-for-the-masses distribution that's aimed at making it as easy for people to understand and use [02:12] and unetbootin's screen will load. but if you try to use the default option it will say init not found [02:12] Drunken: what program are you using to cook with? [02:12] Can anyone help me with issues I have with Maverick Places Menu please? [02:12] Drunken: tried the ubuntu built-in USB disk thing? with my sandisk cruzer and ubuntu 10.10, this works extremely well [02:12] tr3nton: It works fine in launcher too, but when I have the launcher open it in a terminal it doesn't work. It shows no errors either. I notice that when I open it with "run in terminal" it doesn't show text in the terminal in the beginning, it seems to be a step behind... [02:12] Gnea: i've tried DD and Unetbootin [02:12] Drunken: tried usb-creator-gtk?

[02:29] tango: that was because i used the real AMD drivers instead of the ubuntu repo ones i think [02:29] does Ubuntu come with a server like apache pre-installed? [02:29] Flannel, well i done a ls -lu and the last used time is like an hour ago [02:29] tango, what is your root folder? [02:29] redashes: only the server version [02:29] Flannel, yes there is a blank, line, no eerors, no log [02:29] redashes: if you choose it [02:30] The_Janitor: ls -lu on which file? [02:30] dunno how do i check [02:30] go to "file system" [02:30] and see where its located [02:30] does anyone know much about network devices? I'm having some trouble with eth0 [02:30] mine is "/" [02:30] Flannel, cron is also running. i done ls -lu on /etc/crontab [02:30] i jk about banning self :p [02:30] can i get it with aptitude [02:31] there really is no way to get sound with a creative x-fi xtreme is there [02:31] Flannel, */1 * * * * /bin/sh /bin/restart-mldonkey [02:31] that is my crontab [02:31] for root [02:31] The_Janitor: Mine was last-used ten days ago, and I assure you my cron stuff has been running. I don't think that's significan [02:31] kachingo: you need to be more specific [02:31] Flannel, ok, well, where do i go next? chkconfig says it is running in run levels 2345 [02:32] any thumbdrive gurus join the channel? [02:32] GUMP It is in the file system - says I do not have permission to open [02:32] tango: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10019981 [02:32] seems the guy fixed it by just reinstalling the menu [02:32] The_Janitor: You don't have a user in that crontab [02:32] izinucs: eth0 is completely missing [02:33] The_Janitor: Is this in /etc/crontab? or your crontab? [02:33] Flannel, what do you mean? [02:33] Flannel, it is the crontabe for root [02:33] The_Janitor: /etc/crontab? [02:33] kachingo: type ifconfig in a terminal and see what shows up. sometimes eth0 is recognized as eth1 [02:33] i crashed because my comp crashed [02:33] I just reinstalled ubuntu, and must have wiped out grub. I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and after finishing step 5 sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdc I rebooted and just get to the grub shell I don't know what to do next ...

I assume the usb drive is still good because i installed arch with it a week ago [02:34] kachingo: might be an unrecognized card.. lspci will give you a list of stuff. see if you can identify your nic card type/model/chipset there. [02:35] Flannel, what should i do? [02:35] hello everyone [02:35] hi [02:35] i have a problem - i can't install modx cms - it says To use PHP 5.3.0+, you must set the date.timezone setting in your php.ini. I've set it in both /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini but still it gives the same error. is there any other php.ini to configure? does anyone know what might be the problem? (i've restarted the webserver - apache) [02:36] The_Janitor: You're sure you have an empty line following that line in your crontab? [02:36] : it doesn't seem to exist there either [02:36] Flannel, the cursor sits on the line below the line in the crontab [02:36] Flannel, can i edit /etc/crontab directly? [02:37] Can anyone see a problem in this g++ statement? g++ main.cpp -l taglib -o id3 [02:37] it's complaining Id can't find taglib, but tag lib is in my /usr/local/include dir [02:37] The_Janitor: You can, yes. [02:37] Can anyone suggest a media player that supports DRC? [02:37] kachingo: this will be a long output.. you can create a txt file on the desktop at the same time so it's easier to look through.. type sudo lshw > ~/Desktop/lshw.txt [02:37] Flannel, it will be run as root? there are already some entries in there [02:37] The_Janitor: It'll be run as whichever user is specified in the user field [02:38] Flannel, oh ok, give me a min then [02:38] reoky, sorry, whats DRC?

[02:41] any idea why ubuntu might lose all network shares on a LAN, including shares on a NAS and on Vista? everything was working well the past week, but I booted into windows on this (the Ubuntu machine) then booted back into Ubuntu to find the network places all gone [02:41] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 btw [02:42] Flannel, is this a viable cronjob?

[02:47] noobnixer: What CDs do boot? [02:47] 10.10 ubuntu [02:47] noobnixer: yes i think [02:47] noobnixer: its the ports [02:47] oh do boot.. [02:48] i gotta go. Bye! [02:48] noobnixer: i think that only the controllers/drives matter, but the cable is the same [02:48] izinucs, hmm ... I really hate to resort to this, but I'm going to try a reboot! lol [02:48] bye [02:48] memtest, bart pe xp, and got knoppix to boot once [02:48] Hi guys. I need help. My laptop has done it again! The laptop has only a recent version of Ubuntu on it. No windows, no other partitions. Nothing more. At the beginning, I had problems getting it to recognize my laptop's wireless. Then we fixed that here at #ubuntu. Well, it's done it again. [02:48] thanks anyhow [02:48] dzeremis: the card model? [02:49] In a nutshell, I have perfect wifi access but my machine won't reflect the fact that the internal wifi card (racecar56 not sure which model) is good. It just doesn't show it. [02:49] guys my cronjobs are not running, it is a really simple cronjob, nothing special, cron is running. i have no idea where to begin [02:50] lspci | grep 'Wireless LAN' [02:50] The_Janitor: what line are you using? [02:50] Before, I had to go about fixing some files up with code and everything worked fine, but in the process of "updating," racecar56 et al., it's reverted back to this state. It is a Gateway laptop that is a few years old: no changes to hardware. [02:50] The_Janitor: and have you checked your mail? [02:50] Gnea, ( bottom line ) http://pastebin.com/yFHnv07u [02:50] sec [02:50] noobnixer: How desparate are you to get Ubuntu installed? (how many blank CDs and how much time are you willing to waste) [02:50] whty would i get BOOTMGR is missing [02:50] racecar56: whatevere you just said, I'm confused. [02:50] noobnixer: because windows fails :p [02:50] Gnea, mail? which one? [02:50] Jordan_U: desperate. [02:50] The_Janitor: localhost [02:50] dzeremis: that's a command you run in the temrinal [02:51] dzeremis: terminal* [02:51] racecar56: thats on ubuntu disk man.. ffs im not installing windows [02:51] The_Janitor: hm, yeah, you're doing it wrong. you can't run a shell script like that. and why did you put it in /bin/? [02:51] does anyone know how to disable the hp quicktouch? it messes up whenever i play games [02:51] racecar56: okay, let me run it and see what happens. [02:51] noobnixer: you're booting from something that isn't the CD? [02:51] the windows disk is in the other room.. it isnt touching my pc in any way. [02:51] good for you [02:51] its set to boot from cd. [02:51] you get cookies :p [02:51] windows ftw [02:51] Gnea, its not important why i put it in bin, but why cant i run a shell script like that? [02:51] pressing esc, f12, or something on bootup? if not, then it isn't reliable [02:52] triple checking bios one more time [02:52] The_Janitor: because you can't. you have to chmod 700 /bin/restart-mldonkey and get rid of the /bin/sh [02:52] racecar56: Since I have no Internet access to this laptop, it is going to be hard to copy and paste you exactly what it says. But it said: lscpi: command not found. [02:52] * dzeremis draws your attention [02:52] noobnixer: Try booting from Super GRUB2 Disk. It uses a different bootlaoder (GRUB2 rather than syslinux) so whatever BIOS bug you're running into may not affect it. [02:53] Last time, we had to get a bunch of data via terminal on what kind of wireless card I had, then it was an easy fix from there. [02:53] The_Janitor: since root is the only one that's supposed to run it anyway, 700 will confirm that [02:53] got a link to a howto Jordan_U ? [02:53] noobnixer: If you can boot from Super GRUB2 Disk then you have a few options for how to install Ubuntu from there. [02:53] But I'm not sure what we did. This time I'm going to save the instructions. [02:53] Gnea, ok, so it was just the preceeding /bin/sh that was the problem? so i should just do /bin/script [02:53] The_Janitor: pretty much [02:53] Gnea, yeh it makes sense. [02:53] ok [02:53] sec [02:53] Anybody know what to do? [02:54] The wireless is just not being recognized by the system. It was a few days ago but reverted to not showing up. [02:54] Pretty please... [02:55] I can't fix this myself. I tried for a long time before. Somebody finally showed me how. === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [02:55] Gnea, cheers, you are a legend, it works. it is weird, cos normally wheni run a shellscrip i wil do ./script, or if it is a full path i will do 'sh /path/script' [02:55] dzeremis, you typed the command wrong that was given to you earlier. [02:55] noobnixer: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SuperGRUB2Disk#Creating_a_Bootable_Super_GRUB2_Disk [02:55] dzeremis, you had "lscpi" but it should be "lspci" [02:55] RedSocrates: Oops. Okay, let me try it again. [02:56] So what's the suggested method of installing Flash for x64 systems? [02:56] ty Jordan_U reading/downloading/buring now [02:56] The_Janitor: if the script already has the executable bit set, there's never a need to preceed with /bin/sh [02:56] noobnixer: You're welcome. [02:56] RedSocrates: okay, that went through without error message. Now what? [02:56] Gnea, ahh ok, so if it doesnt have it set i would use it right? [02:56] dzeremis, what was the output? [02:57] Nothing at all. I just typed it in and out came a blank cursor: jeremy@jeremy-laptop:~$ [02:57] But no error message like before when I mistyped it. [02:58] dzeremis, try just: lspci | grep 'Wireless' [02:58] RedSocrates: OK. BRB with results. [02:58] Does anyone know what will happen if I upgrade to 10.10 and update my apt-mirror for the new distribution? Will it take another ~60gb of space for the new packages? [02:59] RedSocrates: same thing. No feedback. [02:59] I'm running standard and recently updated Ubuntu. Somewhere in the midst of some update, it reset some file that had to have specific instructions put in it. While that was in place, wireless access was beautiful. [03:00] I'm stressed because I need my laptop's wireless to work tomorrow for work. If it doesn't, I may be forced to spend the evening installing Windows and getting it to run: YUCK! [03:00] dzeremis, hmm... What do you get from: lspci | grep 'Ethernet' [03:00] RedSocrates: lemme see. [03:00] 00000 [03:00] 0 [03:00] 0 [03:00] feifei: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:01] RedSocrates: marvelous. I got something! But BRB. Gotta pee. Bad. [03:01] * dzeremis laughs slightly ironically and will be right back. [03:01] ok while im doing this real fast.. whats the smallest usb *nix i can load up so i can limp into linux and do a complete scan of the hdd? [03:01] dzeremis, k, let me know when you get back. And it might not be so marvelous, unless it shows a wireless card of some kind and not just a wired ethernet controller. :) [03:01] hddt [03:01] noobnixer: uubntu mini? [03:01] noobnixer: *ubuntu [03:01] noobnixer: Define "scan". [03:02] +1 Jordan_U [03:02] check the hdd for physical defects.. [03:02] the way this seems to be running i think i might have a bad sector somewhere in the root of the drive [03:03] noobnixer: http://www.tinycorelinux.com/ It probably doesn't have SMART tools but it has dd. [03:03] * feifei slaps zhenzhen around a bit with a large trout [03:03] * dzeremis is back and is hopeful. Sadly, I think you might be right. But there is wireless there somewhere. [03:03] noobnixer: If you can boot from USB, why not install Ubuntu from USB? [03:03] jjj [03:03] * feifei slaps zhenzhen around a bit with a large trout [03:04] * dzeremis is actually going to have to type and transpose everything in terminal from now on. Anyway around this? Terminal not connected to net. [03:04] Jordan_U: if i get that far i'll try it [03:04] dzeremis, not that I know of. brb [03:04] RedSocrates: Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14) [03:05] RedSocrates: okay, no problem. I'll type. [03:05] The ethernet controller and the wireless controller should be the same brand, more than likely. [03:06] * dzeremis is back with a sweatshirt and is much warmer. [03:07] dzeremis, I missed if you said this earlier. What make/model/type of computer is this? [03:07] dzeremis, lspci|grep -i net [03:07] Does anyone know what will happen if I upgrade to 10.10 and update my apt-mirror for the new distribution? Will it take another ~60gb of space for the new packages? [03:08] Um... Lemme see... Gateway model no. ma3 model: mt6451. Era: 2007 [03:08] dli: hang on. Let me catch up [03:09] Darklust: nope.. [03:09] * dzeremis wants dli's attention: "Usage: grep [OPTION] ... PATTERN [FILE]... / Ty[e [03:10] * dzeremis continues "grep--help for more information." [03:10] Something didn't go through right. [03:10] Is our initial goal to figure out what kind of wireless device I have? I assure you, there is no way it should have died suddenly. [03:11] hello [03:11] Hello. [03:11] hi [03:11] dzeremis, how about: lspci | grep Network [03:11] RedSocrates: lemme see. BRB. [03:11] dzeremis, and yes, we're trying to determine what wireless device you have. [03:12] Okay. I'm just trying to learn while we do this. [03:12] Good job! [03:12] this is kind of a weird question cuz i'm running in windows rite now but my problem started with unistalling ubuntu 9.10 [03:12] heh [03:12] 05:00:0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11/g WLAN (rev 01) [03:12] yep [03:12] chango93230, lemmie guess grub crashed [03:12] dzeremis, thought so, good. One second. [03:12] dzeremis: lspci | grep "Wireless LAN" [03:12] oh [03:12] dzeremis, Broadcom cards are notoriously difficult. [03:12] nooby noob i am :p [03:13] dzeremis, try b43 or broadcom binary driver [03:13] the recent kernels have builtin broadcom drivers [03:13] they aren't in ubuntu though [03:13] sumn like that... but i had sum partition space set aside and i loaded vista into it [03:13] chango93230, you have to restore your windows mbr you can do it with the windows cd or a supergrub disk [03:13] Guys: I don't know where to get any. Before we just changed some code in a file around and all worked fine. [03:13] hi everyone [03:13] if i chroot into a filesystem (like squashfs) and then if i make changes (like add/remove packages), will it in anyway affect my host system? [03:13] i ran this from tha ubuntu live cd b4 i did that sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda [03:13] dzeremis: connect an ethernet cable to your comp [03:13] * dzeremis needs you to guide me as best you can. I'll do the work but I'm new to Linux. [03:13] i'm on ubuntu 10.04 and i am making a LiveDVD from my hard disk installation [03:13] dzeremis, do: sudo rmmod b43;sudo modprobe b43;dmesg|tail -50 [03:14] dzeremis: system > administration > additional drivers [03:14] rigved: no.. [03:14] racecar56: I can't. [03:14] dzeremis: oh i'm silly [03:14] it gogeta i didn't have the recovery disk [03:14] chango93230, and it didnt restore eindows boot? [03:14] dzeremis: do what dli says [03:14] It's okay/ [03:14] Hang on. [03:14] chango93230, thats ok you can use supergrub to do it [03:14] Using Maverick on a dell mini 9 netbook; When I go to Appearance -> Visual Effects all the options are greyed out / unavailable. Is this and easy fix I'm just not seeing? I'm trying to set up proper terminal transparency (and I know it has worked on this machine in the fairly recent past). My transparency symptoms match with some of the driver-issue stuff i have seen on the forums, but not the unavailability of Appearance options. [03:14] blackshirt: thanx [03:14] * dzeremis needs a recap. But let me announce my computer situation. [03:14] keep getting an error now that i have a recovery disk... [03:15] wants me to format clean [03:15] dzeremis: Please stop using /me [03:15] Jordan_U: okay. [03:15] Hi: Where is the menu.lst file in 10.10? [03:15] !grub2 | LuisCarlos [03:15] LuisCarlos: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:15] former /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [03:15] chango93230, you use a recovery command fix mbr C: [03:15] when i ran that command it did something to my c drive [03:15] cant do that now won't let me [03:15] chango93230, boot into recovery console [03:16] I connected to the Internet through a Windows PC with a brand-new wireless device hooked up to it. The only LAN is the other room at the landord's computer. Would I be best off taking my laptop in there and squeezing it in, connecing it to the LAN and talking to you from there? [03:16] LuisCarlos: 10.10 using grub2..not grub-legacy [03:16] I still need help. This shouldn't be as hard as one would think. it's worked before. [03:16] chango93230, i think all windows xp and up have recovery console mode [03:16] my drive shows as RAW now and i don't know how to fix it back to NTFS [03:16] dli: refresh me. I've lost track of the conversation. [03:16] if i change resolution to 1024X600 from 1024:768 would it make the windows fit on my screen if right now they are to long? [03:17] No /boot/grub/menu.lst. It has been replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg. :) [03:17] if you can get a higher resolution, get it [03:17] dzeremis, figure out whether you can load the b43 driver [03:17] chango93230, ok use this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ the s1 disk from it you can slect fix windows boot [03:17] Meaning: if I follow those directions connected to the Internet, we will know? [03:17] !file [03:17] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [03:17] my netbook max's out on 1024X600 but some reason my windos are to big and i cant make the windows become small enough.. i have to pull half of it off the screen to see it [03:17] dzeremis, the commands dli gave you will try to load the appropriate module for your wireless card. [03:18] let me check out that link... i'll keep the chat line open tho. :d [03:19] whats the command to exit irc? [03:19] Okay. RedSocrates and dli, this is the situation: I am going to be leaving behind all the chat information so far at this windows machine and going to hook up my Ubuntu-using laptop to the LAN. Then I am going to try sudo rmmod b43;sudo modprobe b43;dmesg|tail -50. Is there anything I am missing? [03:19] someone13, /exit [03:19] someone13: /quit [03:19] Blanet, all windows are too big or just certain ones [03:19] thanks [03:19] I will reconnect to the chat via the laptop once plugged in but I'm not going to have any access at all to what we've already said, so I need to know now if I'm missing anything. All I know to do now is plug it into the LAN and run that code. [03:19] hello everyone [03:19] how to install .tar.gz and .tar.gz2 file in ubuntu [03:19] <_Neytiri_> can anyone here can tell mow how to get ldap working on ubuntu 10.4? [03:20] dzeremis, yes, if you see errors from dmesg, you may understand what goes wrong [03:20] OK, heres what happened, and I was wondering if you guys could help. I Booted Ubuntu to a freshly built Desktop, and stupidly typed the wrong pass. So with nothing to lose, I decided to turn it off and just reinstall Ubuntu, but when I got to the booting screen, all I got was an unresponsive blinking _ [03:20] dzeremis, sounds good to me. There might be other steps depending on the output of the commands you enter. [03:20] Like certain ones like terminal and update-manager and then others are okay [03:20] alokrocks: You generally don't. What application are you actually trying to install? [03:20] alokrocks: you need to uncompress these files [03:20] alokrocks: before trying to install [03:20] Haar, it's very easy to reset passwd with livecd, no need to reinstall [03:21] yeah [03:21] chango93230, you probly have ne of those factury recovery disk they lack the recovery mode [03:21] dli and RedSocrates: okay, I am going to leave the chat behind now and reconnect in a few minutes from Ubuntu under a similar name. All the while, I'm going to leave "dzeremis" connected here at my Windows computer but I won't have access. Once I get online on Ubuntu, I'll be right back here with you, letting you you know the outcomes. Fair? [03:21] chango93230, but supergrub will do it [03:21] dzeremis, yep [03:21] k [03:21] K. See you in a few. [03:21] dzeremis: good luck [03:21] rigved: i wanna install any software from its source code [03:21] Jordan_U: i was able to boot into ubuntu.. i set it for try ubuntu just to see what i got going on.. i dont see my HDD in there [03:22] Jordan_U: i wanna install any software from its source code [03:22] FriGiN, ntfs drive [03:22] at this point though it wont even boot my old copy of ubuntu [03:22] alokrocks: Why? [03:22] gogeta: ok how do i fix? [03:22] FriGiN, is it ntfs [03:23] ant [03:23] Jordan_U: for learning purpose of view [03:23] no idea but ubuntu will mount a windz 7 ntfs [03:23] gogeta thanx i'm downloading that now. [03:23] I installed xmonad 0.9.1 from the ubuntu pkg repo and networking doesnt work in it. It works when I login to gnome tho. Running ubuntu 10.10 [03:23] FriGiN, was it used for windows [03:24] alokrocks: mostly, you will need to uncompress the files. then you will need to follow the instruction given in the uncompressed folder to compile, link (or build) and install [03:24] FriGiN, if thats the case simply letting windows run chkdsk will fix your issue [03:24] no this is now a fresh pair of tb drives [03:24] im in disk utility it sees it and now its not partitionied [03:24] AnxiousNut: how to download file when tor enabled [03:24] but wont let me partition something [03:25] FriGiN, you have to run gparted as su [03:25] alokrocks: which file are you trying to install from the compressed archive [03:25] FriGiN, alt f2 gksu gparted [03:25] rigved: tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-1.0.15-dev-en-US.tar.gz [03:26] FriGiN, it will let you make changes then [03:26] dli: Most of them like terminal and update-manager but some are okay [03:26] nada happened. back to $ line [03:26] FriGiN, oh in term sudo gparted [03:26] gpartd command not found [03:26] any fixes, I dont wanna pay for a repair :/ [03:26] doh [03:26] im tarded [03:27] lol [03:27] I am in grub now trying to boot: I realized I wanted to boot hd0,1: I did linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sd01 ro after set root=(hd0,1) on grub2 and it complains file not found ... ? [03:27] Is it possible to use my Ubuntu laptop as a wireless adapter for a Windows 7 desktop's Internet connection? [03:27] Hi guys, am wndering if there any way to change the look for ubuntu 10,10 to look like the old version,i mean by that icon in desktop menu bar at top if the screen. [03:27] Blanet, one workaround, I use desktop wall plugin of compiz to get a virtual screen of 2048x1200 [03:28] Blanet, still your wm should know better, maybe, you may try another wm [03:29] alokrocks: http://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser#Linux [03:29] sa-evo, yes in your network manager set it to ad-hoc and give it a ssd [03:29] alokrocks: the instructions for installation are given at this link [03:29] !controls | bader [03:29] bader: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [03:30] sa-evo, windows should then see it [03:30] gogeta, okay I'll try that thanks. [03:31] sa-evo, you mean a 2 card link rite [03:31] gogeta, not sure what you are saying. [03:31] sa-evo, 2 wifi cards [03:32] (10:31:56 PM) ubottu: Sorry, I don't know anything about hi [03:32] is there a way to make empathy more.. eager to tell me I have messages? that small little green envelope just doesn't cut it [03:32] he should have a welcome [03:32] gogeta, I just have a default NIC in my desktop, and wireless on my laptop. [03:32] a hi message [03:32] :p [03:32] sa-evo, oh [03:32] sa-evo, thwen leave the wifi card alone [03:32] how do i know if the os i installed was 32bit or 64bit? [03:32] Dli: okay thank you ill check that out [03:32] izinucs, thanks, for helping, how i make it like the old version [03:32] I do have an ethernet cable to connect the two to eachother. [03:32] sa-evo, you have a roughter === Roasted is now known as ^JaY-ZawN- [03:32] bader: np :) [03:32] Not near me. [03:33] sa-evo, ok you need to makea cat 5 link [03:33] does anyone have a working method to enable vsync w/ an ati card on 10.10 w/o disabling compiz [03:33] gogeta, so connect the two via cat5? [03:34] sa-evo, the 2 wired nics yes [03:34] * dzer is back on. This is the one time I am going to use /me for the rest of the night. [03:34] sa-evo, thers a bit more steps in doing it [03:34] dzer: beep [03:34] Okay, I tried the code that dli gave me and it gave me a BUNCH of stuff. How can I get it to you as cleanly as possible? Isn there some kind of website you can paste these things into? [03:34] Hey all [03:35] dzer: lspci | grep "Wireless LAN" [03:35] dzer: oh [03:35] !pastebin [03:35] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:35] Just upgraded to 10.10, and I'm experiencing a lto of terminal lag now [03:35] sa-evo, if you roughter is wireless but accepts wired to it would be alot easer [03:35] That is, there's a large delay between when I type and when the characters appear in my terminal [03:35] anyone knows how to install the kernel sources so that vbox can work? [03:35] feels like when I'm working locally, I'm ssh'd over a 14.4k modem to china [03:35] Anyone have any idea what's up? [03:35] dzer: pastebin.com [03:36] I can always reinstall, but would rather know what's going on [03:36] dzer: ubuntu has a pastebin somewhere [03:36] racecar56: I think we already tried that and it didn´t work. But lspci | grep Network did. [03:36] dzer: k [03:36] !pastebin | dzer [03:36] Okay, looking for ubuntu pastebin [03:36] dzer: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:36] izinucs, i got this msg $: command not found [03:36] gogeta, the router is way too far away. But does have wireless (using it right now.) Also, the two are connected via cat5. [03:36] bader: I only know of that link.. never used it myself.. sorry [03:37] irc.scenepalace.org [03:37] Okay, I need to make sure I'm not overstepping a boundary here. All I do is put my name on it and click "paste" and you can access it? [03:37] sa-evo, well we need to link the 2 nics install a dhcp server to link it via wired [03:37] izinucs, ok thanks again [03:37] dzer: yes [03:37] sa-evo, trying to track a guide for you [03:37] Okay. [03:37] gogeta, thanks. [03:37] which cli tool can I use that shows me clearly how much cpus is being used for mulitcore processers? top on ubuntu doesnt seem to show utilization per cpu [03:37] per core [03:38] I keep seeing my drive getting mounted multiple times during and after boot. Is this normal? it keeps saying the same re-mounted messages [03:38] Okay, I just pasted it. Now how do you get access to it? [03:38] sudoer: maybe htop [03:38] sudoer: I like i7z [03:38] On the pastebin website? [03:38] dzer: you will get a link after you paste in the pastebin server, paste that link here [03:38] rigved: OK. thanks. [03:38] dzer: you give the lik [03:38] dzer: nvm [03:38] *link [03:38] so no help than? [03:38] Haar: problem? [03:38] Like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/524829/ [03:39] yeah [03:39] sa-evo, http://www.ehow.com/how_7208875_connect-ubuntu-windows-crossover-cable.html [03:39] izinucs: ill check that [03:39] sudoer: htop wont give you the info you want [03:39] Well, now I have learned how to use pastebin. This is a good thing. [03:39] sa-evo, thats ones doing it with static ips [03:39] sudoer: i7z or similar program === Crisco is now known as zz_Crisco [03:39] How can I use my own .config for a kernel build? I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile .. Whenever I put a .config in the kernel source root, the build process complains that I should run make mrproper. I've read that this means there are extra files, great. How do I shove my .config into this new debian.master/config flavour system? [03:39] interesting development Hang on for details [03:39] gogeta, doesn't that need a crossover cable specifically? And I am not sure how to work with static IPs. [03:40] Hi, I'm currently running the Live version of Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm about to install alongside my Windows 7 Installation on the same drive. I currently have a 400gb partition /dev/sda4 that I want split to around 50gb for the Ubuntu partition. How do I do this ? I'm in the Allocate Drive Space, and what do I use for the boot loader? /dev/sda WDC ? /dev/sda1 Windows 7 (loader) or /dev/sda3 - /dev/sda4. Not sure what those last two are [03:40] Haar: what do you need help with? [03:40] dzer, that's good. Type: ifconfig -a [03:40] Haar, how did you "turn it off" ? [03:40] sa-evo, newer network cards can use any cable [03:40] sa-evo, and the guide shows how to do it on both machines [03:41] Since running that command, an ethernet-looking icon has appeared near the bottom of my screen. It asks me if I want Broadband B43 driver or Broadband STA. Itś an Ubuntu automated thing, not code. Should I select one of them? [03:41] hmm, it doesnt work on amd cpus [03:41] gogeta, cool. I'll be away looking through that (don't have enough screen space to watch this chat and do that... Damn netbook screens.) [03:41] is there something i can use fort amd cpus? [03:41] sudoer: not sure I have an i7 sorry didnt catch you had amd [03:41] Using Maverick on a dell mini 9 netbook; the Appearance -> Visual Effects options are all greyed out / unavailable. I'm trying to set up proper terminal transparency (I know it has worked on this machine fairly recently, possibly on Lucid). [03:42] sudoer: there has to be something like it though I just know htop will not give you what you want [03:42] Well to simplify, after installing Ubuntu and setting a wrong pass. I decided to Reinstall Ubuntu. Now after resetting the comp, the boot screen doesnt work, and I can only access BIOS Racecar56 [03:42] sudoer: htop works on my AMD cpus [03:42] dzer, yes. Can you paste the output of: lspci -vvnn | grep Network [03:42] I just soft shut down :/ [03:42] Haar: sounds like a very timely hardware problem? [03:42] Haar: oh [03:42] This is what I got from ifconfig -a : http://paste.ubuntu.com/524831/ [03:42] Haar: just boot off the live cd [03:43] Aez: i would advice you to boot into windows first, shrink the windows partition (so that the remaining is free space), then install ubuntu into this free space [03:43] sa-evo, for a perment methed i would use the network manager and set the card with the setiings it says in ubuntu [03:43] Haar, what do you mean by "boot screen" ? [03:43] RedSocrates: sure. If I don't respond to something, it's because I've missed it with the chat going so quick. [03:43] rigved: The windows partition is only 100gb +100mb, the rest is unassigned. [03:43] gogeta, my computer doesn't seem to be able to find "netcpl.cpl" [03:43] RedSocrates: should I select one of these drivers from the window first? [03:44] dzer, no, give the output of the command I gave you first [03:44] htop seems much better [03:44] Aez: ok, then install into the unassigned space [03:44] what does a load average of 3.74 mean ? [03:44] I get to an unresponsive Flashing _ [03:44] RedSocrates: OK [03:44] rigved, I only want 50gb of it, not the ful 392gb. [03:44] is that high or low? [03:44] Hey where should grub be located? [03:44] like specifically /boot [03:44] sudoer: you will not it does not acuratly tell you about your seperate cores or any hyper threads [03:44] sa-evo, well in gnome use the network manager set the cards ip and subnet [03:45] vdubhack: so will anything tell me then? [03:45] sa-evo, then in windows set the ip [03:45] Aez: as far as i know, it is not advisable to create more than 4 partitions on on SATA hard disk [03:45] and works on amd? [03:45] Haar: hardware problem, slow CD drive, or something [03:45] sudoer: one sec I will look up something [03:45] sa-evo, dont worry abought droping to command line [03:45] RedSocrates: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524832/ [03:45] sa-evo, it should work the same [03:45] sa-evo, and keep the settings [03:45] !isohybrid [03:45] gogeta, so I do the Ubuntu part of that guide first then? [03:45] rigved, in total there would be 4. 100mb for the windows reserve, 100gb for the actual windows os. 50gb for Ubuntu and rest unassigned [03:45] I see the numbers 43. Could this be the same driver? [03:46] sa-evo, ordere doesent matter [03:46] racecar56, I JUST built it :/, [03:46] Aez: but when you start installing from the live cd, it will give you the option to partition the hard disks as per your wish [03:46] fixed the thumbdrive problem \o/ [03:46] dzer, Okay, good, that card is supported by the b43 drivers [03:46] sa-evo, if you get a networking conflict use a diffrent subnet [03:46] Aez: you will also need to create a swap partition for ubuntu [03:46] Broadband B43 wireless driver shows up as an option in this thing that popped up in Ubuntu since we did sudo rmmod b43;sudo modprobe b43;dmesg|tail -50 [03:46] rigved: swap partition ? [03:46] dzer, so, go ahead and choose that B43 driver [03:47] sa-evo, they just have to match windows both can be changed [03:47] Aez: ubuntu also need atleast two partitions like windows [03:47] RedSocrates: cool. Should I simply try to install it? (Seeing you type answer, okay, here goes...) === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu [03:47] gogeta, so what about the netcpl.cpl part? Skip it and do something else? (Sorry I am not following 100%.) [03:47] In rhythmbox, I have multiples of like EVERY song, is there a plugin so that I can delete the doubles of the songs, or an easy way to? [03:47] Haar: dirty cd? stupid shot in the dark [03:47] sudoer: no luck with a quick search try looking for similar programs to i7z [03:47] sa-evo, yea you can skip that [03:47] The GRUB configuration file is, on Ubuntu, located in /boot/grub/menu.ls disappearedng [03:47] rigved: alright, but can I go on with multiple partitions? more than 4? what is the risk of having more than 4? === MichaelBrown57 is now known as mbrown [03:48] Aez: swap partition (around 100 mb would be fine if you are not going to do heavy stuff like video editing) and an ext4 partition for ubuntu [03:48] sa-evo, you just need to set windows as a local ip then give ubuntu one [03:48] vdubhack: how do you know htop is inaccurate? [03:48] sa-evo, if your cards auto detect it will see it as cat-5 and connect [03:48] Nope. No text pops up, so I doubt it [03:48] RedSocrates: waiting on it to install [03:48] rigved: would a larger swap partition be useful ? [03:48] sudoer: comparing the results to i7z and reading about how its not suited yet for that type of application [03:48] dzer, okay [03:49] i see [03:49] sudoer: it would say I was running at 933MHZ when all my cores were running 100% i7z would show it accuratley boosting up to 2.6 as needed [03:49] Aez: swap is generally used when your RAM is full [03:49] Thank goodness there was a driver. That might fix the problem permanently. Last time, no driver was installed, if I remember correctly. Somebody just knew how to work around it. === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu [03:50] gogeta, I'm trying to figure out step 3 and on for Windows. Right click Local Area Connection 2 (one detecting the unidentified network,) gives me Bridge Connection and Properties. But I am not seeing any of those options. [03:50] rigved: Alright, how do I make the swap drive? Ext4 journaling ? should I format the partition? and what do I use for the mount point? [03:50] sa-evo, LOL WINDOWS HELP ON YOUR BRIDGE PLEASE NO! [03:50] yes [03:50] sa-evo, oh right click the connection you whant to use [03:50] sudoer: sorry I cant be of more help but I am sure you can find something similar maybe AMD has a program, intel has a linux one [03:50] rigved : woops I see the swap area option [03:50] Haar: with anything faulty, anything could happen, it's worth a try [03:50] sa-evo, slect propterys [03:50] vdubhack: thanks anyway [03:50] Haar: maybe [03:50] RedSocrates: Okay, it says it is activated and currently in use. So, what now? How can I start up it recognizing the wireless network? [03:50] Aez: yes, format the partition [03:50] aez u do not have to format swap or choose a mount pt [03:50] Aez: swap is also used for suspend/hybernation.. [03:51] sa-evo, then tcp-ip right cleitch propterys [03:51] click [03:51] Aez: mount point: / [03:51] * yagoo IGNORES WINDOWS ASSISTANCE USERS IN HERE [03:51] * racecar56 SEES A LOT OF CAPS [03:51] gogeta, ah... Guess I should look a little harder hahaha. [03:51] sa-evo, then you can set the ip and subnet [03:51] dzer, is there a wireless icon anywhere on your desktop panels? Did it say that networks were detected? [03:51] I keep seeing my drive getting mounted multiple times during and after boot. Is this normal? it keeps saying the same re-mounted messages [03:51] RedSocrates: point being, all appears to be well but I don't see nay of that like before, not even for the ethernet! [03:52] sa-evo, being we whant it to talk to the ubuntu boc the gateway ip will be ubuntus local ip your gonna give it [03:52] Aez: i have a 2.4 gb swap partition (like izinucs said, it is useful for hibernation and many other things) [03:52] rigved, ubuXubu, izinucs: Thanks. [03:52] RedSocrates: no. Whatever to do? [03:52] when using buntu as your partition manager u simply choose swap and choose the size of it [03:52] sa-evo, so fill that in to [03:52] rigved: when creating the partition do I want primary or logical and beginning or end location ? [03:52] the forward slash mount point is for the OS [03:52] gogeta, am I filling that in on the Windows side? [03:53] There is a wireless network active in the house. But I see no way to get to it. I'm going to start exploring Network things in System. [03:53] sa-evo, yes [03:53] Aez: primary [03:53] Aez: if you want more than 4 partitions on the drive the first should be logical.. everything else goes below that. [03:53] dzer, how is your wireless set up? Does it have a password? Is it WEP encrypted or WPA? [03:53] Aez: also take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition [03:53] gogeta, is that just the IP of the current connection on Ubuntu? [03:53] sa-evo, set the windows ip 192.168,1,1 sub net 255.255.255.0 [03:54] RedSocrates: I see no evidence of it pickign up wireless at all. It does have a password. I can remember if itś WEP or WPA off the top of my head. [03:54] izinucs: Alright, I don't know about the other partitions, I'm guessing they're all primary right now so I don't think I can change them. Or, what should be first [03:54] gogeta, got it. [03:54] sa-evo, no the p your going to give ubuntu [03:54] Loshki: Thanks for the link [03:54] sa-evo, in gateway [03:54] Aez: there are full install guides for basically all versions of windows and ubuntu dual booting out there [03:54] sa-evo, eg 192.168.1.2 [03:54] Aez: swap partition is more faster if it is at the beginning, but i guess end would also do [03:54] The wireless network is definitely working. My Ubuntu machine had just messed up the wireless. Now the driver's installed, but I don't see how to configure the wireless. [03:54] Aez: might be easier to follow a full guide [03:54] Aez: if you have 1 windows partition and you're creating 3 partitions for ubuntu / /swap and /home you should be fine.. all primary. [03:55] vdubhack: Alright, sounds like the way to go [03:55] gogeta, ah in the next steps my bad. And I put that in the Default gateway field on Windows? [03:55] Aez, i just built 5 dual OS desktops [03:55] with windows on them [03:55] Do I simply need a reboot? [03:55] vdubhack: top , then hit 1 seems to work [03:55] RedSocrates: a reboot? It shows my bluetooth card but not my wireless or ethernet. [03:55] sa-evo, yea whatever ip you give ubuntu but we wanna a resovable one not a local so like 192.168.243.136 [03:56] Aez: i do not know for sure, but i think more than 4 partition is not advisable (even windows does not allow it!) [03:56] rigved: it does when you make one logical.. [03:56] Oh, shit, can somebody make this wireless work? RedSocrates just left the channel. [03:56] rigved: my windows installation already has 2 partitions, and I think another? theres a 1mb unknown sda [03:56] sa-evo, then give ubuntu that ip [03:56] racecar56? [03:56] sa-evo, for the wired card [03:56] Aez: so, now you have 2 partitions for windows and 2 partitions for ubuntu and more unassigned space [03:57] dzer, I got disconnected, so missed what you might have said after my last responses [03:57] sa-evo, with the same 255.255.255.0 subnet [03:57] RedSocrates: thank goodness you're back! No problem. [03:57] gogeta, okay I did that and it is still marked as unidentified for Windows. [03:57] Aez: then if that's the case will all the unallowcated space partition that as logical.. then below that you'll be able to create as many as you want [03:57] sa-evo, that ok ubuntu isnt talking to it yet [03:57] rigved: I see, well, I can't be bothered installing Windows again so I'll just assign it all to the linux one. [03:57] RedSocrates: at this point, there is a driver installed, so all should be running smoothly, but neither the ethernet nor the wireless show up in desktop panels. Is there a command we can give Terminal to make this happen? [03:57] Aez: will=with [03:58] sa-evo, we need to configure ubuntu [03:58] izinucs: agreed, but Aez here is making 4 primary partitions. windows does not allow to make more than 4 primary partitions (even no logical ones after 4 primary) [03:58] gogeta, okay. [03:58] dzer, does your wireless network name show up if you type: iwlist wlan0 scan [03:58] izinucs: ah alright izinucs [03:58] RedSocrates: I looked in under System and Control Panel, etc. Nothing. I need that little icon. [03:58] my ubuntu10.10's system title bar is unavailable,can someone help me ? [03:58] sa-evo, you can try just plugging it in [03:58] vdubhack: do you know if top is more accurate than htop? [03:58] izinucs, rigved: if it makes any difference I was going to create a Truecrypt volume on the unassigned. [03:58] RedSocrates: wait, I may have made a mistake. [03:58] sa-evo, naa nv it would try auto and fail [03:58] BRB [03:59] gogeta, I already did the terminal portion of that guide for Ubuntu, giving it something resolvable and putting that in as the gateway for Windows. [03:59] dzer, okay [03:59] sa-evo, well plug it in [03:59] Aez: you can add that unassigned hard disk space later to windows drive as well [03:59] sudoer: I am not sure I am looking at comparsion now [03:59] RedSocrates: wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Network is down [03:59] Aez: don't bother. you're not use to that at this point. more headache then it's worth as your learning a new system [03:59] gogeta, so unplug it and replug? [03:59] sa-evo, it should start talking right away [03:59] That little icon IS showing up. It shows ethernet. It's just not showing wireless. [04:00] sudoer: more searches though seems like amd offers a linux program but I am only finding it in rpms :P [04:00] Wireless Networks: Device Not Ready. [04:00] gogeta, weird because it isn't... [04:00] dzer: try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [04:00] K. BRB. [04:00] izinucs: Alright then. rigved: Ok. I'll do that later [04:01] Drunken RedSocrates: okay, that asked me for a password but nothing else has changed. [04:01] if you put your password in. try the iwlist wlan0 scan again [04:01] dzer, now try: iwlist wlan0 scan [04:01] It's reflecting that it CAN pick up a wireless network in the little task bar icon with which you configure the thing, but not picking up one. [04:01] :P [04:01] OK. [04:01] :-þ [04:01] BRB [04:02] How can I use my own .config for a kernel build? I'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile .. Whenever I put a .config in the kernel source root, the build process complains that I should run make mrproper. I've read that this means there are extra files, great. How do I shove my .config into this new debian.master/config flavour system? [04:02] back [04:02] Drunken RedSocrates: this time it accepts my input with no feedback. [04:02] sa-evo: umm [04:02] izinucs, rigved: do I use Primary/Beginning for the Ubuntu partition? what mount point should I use? [04:02] RedSocrates Drunken [oh, however I do this, there is just no sober way to say it!]: WTF? I'm confused. [04:02] sa-evo: maybe your cards cant auto detect [04:03] gogeta, do I need to put anything in the DNS server address, since auto for that option is greyed out on Windows? [04:03] dzer: the iwlist should provide feedback [04:03] RedSocrates Drunken I'm not sure how to get it to pick up the wireless network [04:03] Didn't do a thing. Let me make sure I inputted it correctly. [04:03] Aez: the first partition under the logical partition should be root / .. about 8 -12 gigs.. next /swap .. and all the rest /home [04:03] dzer, can you confirm that you correctly typed: iwlist wlan0 scan [04:03] gotta reboot brb. [04:04] Aez: I don't know that it will ask about primary or logical.. but primary should be ok [04:04] RedSocrates: I think that was my mistake. It think I just CCPed the wrong thing. Let me confirm. BRB. [04:04] i am trying to set my maxcpu value. I have tried using sysfs but it is not setting the values. anyone get a cpu to set maxfreq? [04:04] dzer, ok [04:04] Aez: ya, you can do what izinucs says. i have primary for ubuntu partition and mount point: / [04:04] RedSocrates: scan results: No Scan Results [04:04] okay [04:04] alright thanks izinucs. [04:05] chat spanish plis [04:05] I did make a mistake typing it in but this is what I got when I CCPed the right thing in (iwlist...) [04:05] rigved: both swap and ubuntu are / ? [04:05] Aez: rock and roll [04:05] Aez: i have ubuntu in the one partition [04:05] xubuntu or lubuntu for a netbook? [04:05] dzer, I think perhaps you needed to install the firmware cutter before adding the module, so do this: sudo rmmod b43 ssb wl; sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [04:05] kaie-: neither [04:05] kaie: netbook version [04:05] well ubuntu netbook is slow and unity sucks [04:05] dzer, It should bring up something that you'll have to say "yes" to, about fetching and extracting firmware, I think [04:06] RedSocrates: I'll install that (give it that command) and be right back to you with feedback. [04:06] kaie: then lubuntu [04:06] kaie-: use the minimal iso and install only what you want [04:06] Hello, there is a problem with a spamer who is also spoofing someone else's address; it has become quite a nuisance for a lot of people; whom can I approach about this problem? [04:06] Aez: i'm not sure about that. just leave it to the default option (which should be /) [04:06] dzer, ack, I think I gave that to you backwards. [04:06] RedSocrates: here's what popped out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524838/ [04:07] dzer, k, one sec === chrowe_ is now known as chrowe [04:07] ndiswrapper time? [04:07] Aez: root is / and /swap is swap ..you'll see it in the menu options for mount points [04:07] tengo xubuntu 10.10 y no me funciona los exe [04:07] !ubuntu-es [04:07] Drunken, may be, but he has a card that's supposed to be supported by b43 [04:07] ugh [04:07] ah [04:08] rigved, izinucs: alright, thanks guys, last question then I'm done, which boot loader do I use ? /dev/sda ATA WDC, /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2, or /sda3? [04:08] !es > neo_ [04:08] neo_, please see my private message [04:08] blakkheim: thx [04:08] [Soap Opera tone] Tell me doctor: how bad is it? [04:08] izinucs: yup saw it now [04:08] dzer: how's it going? [04:08] dzer, try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure b43-fwcutter [04:08] dzer, Say yes to what it asks you [04:08] i am trying to set my maxcpu value. I have tried using sysfs but it is not setting the values. anyone get a cpu to set maxfreq? [04:08] racecar56: Better. I think I have wireless access installed, but I can't get it to connect to the network. [04:08] how to add 'show desktop' to dock? [04:08] i cant find show desktop anywhere [04:08] RedSocrates: OK [04:09] Drunken, ndiswrapper should be used only as last resort of course.. i would compare a nondiswrapper to a ndiswrapper setup and see which setup works better with the net [04:09] I'm looking for a reputable Ubuntu netbook/laptop seller that ships to Canada. Any ideas? [04:09] RedSocrates: oh, boy, this is big and interesting! Hang on and stay tuned. [04:10] dzer, okay. It should give you a prompt asking you if you want to fetch and extract the firmware. That's what you should say "yes" to [04:10] RedSocrates: big blue screen. Configuring b43-fwcutter. The bcm43xx... [04:10] is it even possible to install GDM themes from gnomelook.org that are in .tar.gz packages in 10.10??? used to work long ago [04:10] dzer, good, let me know when it's done [04:10] kmyst: no [04:10] RedSocrates: okay, I will say yes and let you know. [04:10] Thanks to Drunken, RedSocrates, and racecar56 in particular for sticking with me. [04:10] blakkheim figured...thought i'd check...kind of disappointing :( [04:11] dzer, no problem! [04:11] RedSocrates: :-) [04:11] RedSocrates: Well, something really interesting happened this time: nothing. It just changed back to the normal terminal window. Wasn't it supposed to take some time to configure? [04:11] Question: Netbook version of Ubuntu is with Unity with touch-intuitive interface. Can I use that for my netbook with touch-insensitive screen? [04:11] dzer, nah, not a lot. No error messages or anything? [04:12] Nothing at all. It just immediately "clicked" back to normal. [04:12] No error messages. [04:12] dzer, In Linux, "nothing" is usually good :) [04:12] :-) [04:12] dzer, Okay, now type: sudo modprobe b43 [04:12] keithclark: You might want to try "ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" -- of course, right now it's being heavily spammed..... [04:12] anybody happen to know how I can make /dev/dm-* quit showing up? pvdisplay now shows PV name as being /dev/dm-0 instead of /dev/sda5 [04:13] RedSocrates: Nothing! [04:13] dzer, Good :) [04:13] RedSocrates: suddenly it connects to the wireless network! :-) [04:13] dzer, Yep! [04:13] dzer, So you've got the connection then? [04:13] You're amazing, man! [04:13] dzer, haha, thanks [04:13] I think so. Let me disconnect this ethernet and see if I stay connected. [04:13] dzer, okay, good luck [04:14] RedSocrates: thanks. I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be in the channel. But it'll be a minute. [04:14] dzer, ok === Drunken_ is now known as Drunkn [04:16] dzer: success? [04:16] can someone help with fedora, ubuntu, grub, and grub2 - fedora installed the bootloader overtop of Ubuntu, so now I need Fedora to use Grub2 and to see the Ubuntu kernels === rj45_ is now known as rj45jack === chrowe_ is now known as chrowe [04:19] there's something I dont understand in my ubuntu session when I do ps -aux in a terminal I see only root and 1000 wich is not my username how to resolve this please? thank before for a detailled answer ;) [04:20] hi All [04:20] johnbendi, hi [04:20] if I type : ps -aux | who it show me my username [04:20] RedSocrates, dli, and racecar56: thank you so much. All is working beautifully again. I'm also saving all the commands in case something like this should happen again, so I won't be starting cold. [04:20] You got it working! Bless you! [04:20] dzeremis, great! Glad to help! [04:20] Please where can i get help on xubuntu for powerpc [04:21] Thank you so much, RedSocrates! :-) [04:21] dzeremis, Have you restarted the computer since we did this, out of curiosity? [04:21] my ubuntu installation is on an external Hard drive the grub is on this same external hard drive [04:21] RedSocrates: no, I haven't restarted the computer at all. Do you think it would be a good idea? [04:21] I have / and /home for ubuntu a swap partition and another partition wich is opensuse [04:21] dzeremis: yayay [04:21] dzeremis, not yet, one second. [04:21] Anyone good at networks/firewalls? Could you please help a beginner, question here (too large): http://paste.ubuntu.com/524846/ [04:21] Okay, waiting on your feedback. [04:22] dzeremis: Bill Gate's suggestion: yes [04:22] dzeremis: *Gates' [04:22] dzeremis: :p [04:22] Em... Which means that I could restart and all this work would be for naught. Okay. RedSocrates, what say you? [04:22] i successfully installed xubuntu 10.10 on ibookg3 but it keeps giving me authenication failure [04:22] ..on the login screen [04:23] any help please [04:23] dzeremis, I'm just concerned that it isn't autoloading the appropriate modules, so it might not load them on a restart. [04:24] hey, is there to make samba share support utf8 fileanmes? [04:24] RedSocrates: although I could not have put those words to that statement, yes, I share the same concern, which leads me to believe we might need to program it to autoload those modules that had disappeared from my task bar. When I got the right command, it was like, "Zap! Wireless connected!" [04:24] hello [04:24] hi [04:25] RedSocrates: I have a list of every command we've put into Terminal, if that would help. I could pastebin it over to you. We might be able to pick out the commands that way. [04:25] dzeremis, yeah, I'm just forgetting the way to set that up automatically at the moment. I know one way, but I'm not sure if it's the best. [04:25] can anyone tell me how to convert .avi file to play on a pendrive? [04:25] RedSocrates: very good thinking. [04:25] dzeremis, the only command you should need in the future is: sudo modprobe b43 [04:25] dzeremis, That's the command that loads the module. But it's inconvenient to have to do that every time. [04:26] hey, sometimes after running a full-screen program something happens to the color depth or the gamma or something, and the colors get much less smooth [04:26] like, lots of banding [04:26] RedSocrates: what about the command that made the wireless icon pop up? Let me look... [04:26] it's very visible on teh desktop background (ubuntu default) [04:26] RedSocrates: silly me. Actually, I think it was that very command, after we got the hardware configured. [04:26] dzeremis, The other stuff we had you do was mostly for testing. It was "sudo modprobe b43" that plugged in the module and activated the card, and at that point I think it was auto-detected [04:27] dzeremis: nm-applet? [04:27] dzeremis, here's one way you should be able to do it [04:27] RedSocrates: I gathered as much as for testing, though I thought that we had installed a driver for B43 at the same time. "Sudo mobprobe b43" made the wireless icon pop up and connect in seconds. [04:28] RedSocrates and racecar56: Train me well. I'm all ears. [04:28] I cannot imagine how much time it takes to know the ins and outs of Linux. But I'm learning. [04:28] dzeremis, that's the command that loads the driver. We just need to get your computer to do that automatically at boot. You should be able to do it like this. First, type: gksudo gedit /etc/modules [04:28] K, just a sec... [04:28] dzeremis, It may ask you for your administrative password, then it should open a file [04:29] dzeremis: using ubuntu isn't a good first step [04:29] wolf23, and dont know how,but you can convert it to standalone flash. so you can direcctly play it [04:29] blakkheim: what is? [04:29] dzeremis, at the end of that file, on a line all by itself, add only this: b43 [04:29] dzeremis: a distribution that doesn't hold your hand through everything [04:30] RedSocrates: after lp? [04:30] There is the phrase "lp". [04:30] dzeremis, yes, after lp, on a line all by itself. [04:30] dzeremis, every line in that file is the name of a module that should be loaded at boot time. [04:30] blakkheim: I want to learn real Linux. But right now I needed an alternative to Windows that was manageable. Ubuntu was the quick fix. [04:30] Anyone good at networks/firewalls? Could you please help a beginner, question here (too large): http://paste.ubuntu.com/524846/ [04:31] RedSocrates: okay, so so far we've only got lp and b43 [04:31] AbhiJit, i have a dvd player and come with it a usb port , so i buy for a pendrive and i want to copy a .avi file in the pendrive to play on the dvd player [04:31] dzeremis, Okay, once you have b43 on its own line, just save the file and close it [04:31] RedSocrates: I saved it. [04:31] wolf23, oh dunno [04:31] RedSocrates: Now, do you think it's time to brave a reboot to check? [04:32] dzeremis, Okay, well, you're set up now, and you have the commands that we used to get this working if it fails again. But yes, the final test is a reboot to see if it comes up without intervention. [04:32] RedSocrates: Okay. Let me save all my commands and instructions, close things out, reboot, and see if I can reconnect with you "on the other side" in a few minutes. Good idea? [04:33] dzeremis, Sounds good to me. [04:33] should lspci show me cards that are in a laptop's CardBus slot? (seems that is is, but surprised) [04:33] RedSocrates: Okay, will do. BRB. [04:33] CarlFK, in my experience, yes. [04:34] CarlFK: yes cardbus is an extension of the pci bus by design [04:34] RedSocrates: thanks. I'll stop being surprised [04:34] anyone here have an autofs.ldif file. I am having trouble converting schema to ldif. [04:34] so any solution please? [04:35] there's something I dont understand in my ubuntu session when I do ps -aux in a terminal I see only root and 1000 wich is not my username how to resolve this please? thank before for a detailled answer ;) [04:35] I have / and /home for ubuntu a swap partition and another partition wich is opensuse [04:35] my ubuntu installation is on an external Hard drive the grub is on this same external hard drive [04:36] RedSocrates, dli, and redcar54: We are in business. It rebooted like a charm, no errors, nothing unexpected: and it rebooted quickly, too. [04:36] dzeremis, Excellent. [04:36] dzeremis: nice [04:36] dzeremis, Congratulations. Now you can go and research the commands that we gave you to learn what they do for yourself. :) [04:36] dzeremis, when you have time, of course! [04:37] RedSocrates: thanks. I hope I can learn to do these things and help others, too. It's always a learning process! [04:37] dzeremis, you're welcome. Good luck with it all. [04:37] RedSocrates racecar54: All I can say is *big thanks*. I'm very relieved it's working again. [04:37] linusasus6, FYI (no help) but the command should be "ps aux" and not "ps -aux", if you run the later the first line of output will read "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?" [04:38] RedSocrates: One question, though: is there a quasi-standard introduction to Linux so I can learn some of these things like you, or is it years of practice [04:38] I have a cardbuss firewire card that locks up my box, either durring boot or if I plug it in when the full system is up. If I boot into recovery, no hang (so I can run lspci http://dpaste.de/UOSj/) [04:38] dzeremis: :) [04:38] * dzeremis shall follow in RedSocrates's footsteps. :-) [04:38] how do I figure out what is causing the hang? [04:38] And racecar56's! [04:38] dzeremis, haha. Don't follow, go beyond! [04:38] t [04:38] RedSocrates: Okay, will do! [04:38] it does the same result mostly root and 1000 I dont see my username [04:39] Guess I'd better start reading about Linux. [04:39] yeah it's worth it [04:39] RedSocrates racecar56: You guys are great. :-) I've got to go. I have to get up for work in the morning. But with the laptop fixed, I'll be in business. Thanks again for the help and encouragement! :-) I will look forward to talking to you sometime soon in here. [04:40] dzeremis, sure thing, take care. [04:40] http://www.gopetition.com/petition/40352.html for untrusted hardware [04:40] RedSocrates: you too. Big thanks, dud/ette. Loved the help and the encouragement. Goodnight! (Labanakt!) [04:40] dzeremis: I learned on Slackware 4 cuz it foreced you to compile everything yourself. auto-distros don't teach you anything [04:41] * racecar56 missed! :| [04:41] jkazana, "auto-distros" can help people who aren't that computer savvy to learn at a more comfortable pace at times, though I do like Slackware. [04:41] what is the correct place for a local user to install fonts [04:41] I tried installing PCF fonts through gnome but that didn't work out too well lol [04:42] I know it's possible to install fonts in ~/.font, but I'm not sure of the full procedure to make X realize them [04:42] linusasus6, what User ID is your current user actually using? (the default first user in ubuntu is 1000) if you don't have an actual 1000 User ID on your system, it will only show the UserID # or in your case 1000. "grep /etc/passwd" will show your User ID number [04:42] RedSocrates: that's tru and a great point [04:42] jkazana, you do have to eventually get down and dirty with something like Slackware though, at some point. :) === DoC_M is now known as DrManhattan [04:43] neurodamage, I believe running "fc-cache -f -v" should do it. [04:43] neurodamage, that's after the fonts are placed in ~/.fonts/ [04:44] neurodamage, you don't really need the "-v" option, but you may as well watch what's happening :) [04:46] http://pastebin.ca/1980285 [04:46] : I recently tried to run the latest centos for someone and was surprised how *old* it was. most of my audio needs had to be compiled and installed by hand. I gave up when I couldn;t install streamripper due to an out of date glibc .. and this is supposed to be an ent os.. [04:47] RedSocrates: yeah and I probably need XFS [04:47] linusasus6, ? your user has ID number 1000 - so not sure why ls would be showing the number instead of the name? good luck. [04:48] jkazana, never tried CentOS myself, though I've wanted to. It's held back because RedHat is, but I think a new version of RedHat may be due soon. Slackware is probably the best distribution for a mix of up-to-dateness, stability, and learning IMO. [04:49] ok racecar56 [04:49] i on the comp through a lovely loophole xD [04:49] so you dont know what to do for resolve this? [04:50] tunpim: have you tried disabling the firewall? [04:50] jkazana: eyah, and it works when I disable it [04:50] But I still need help, as the installation stops at 65% and Im only running this off of the disc [04:50] well actually, can anyone helpo me with this [04:51] ? [04:51] linusasus6, I'm pretty sure if a username is longer than 8 characters, ps substitutes the uid [04:52] if you think you can help me with my prob, give me a ping [04:54] linusasus6, you can test that theory by creating another user with a username less than 8 characters and verify that ps gets things right. [04:55] linusasus6, here's a reference: http://procps.sourceforge.net/faq.html. As it says, "The UNIX and POSIX standards require that user names and group names be printed as decimal integers when there is not enough room in the column." [04:55] so how we do that we format home for create the new username? [04:56] Oh hey, spambot issues? that's fun. =/ [04:56] tunpim: and you allowed u67 and u68 in and out? maybe u also need to allow icmp but I'm not on that [04:56] AbhiJit, i have a dvd player and come with it a usb port , so i buy for a pendrive and i want to copy a .avi file in the pendrive to play on the dvd player,how can i convert this avi file to play on the usb port on my dvd? [04:56] linusasus6, apparently you can also test with this command: ps -o pid,user:19,comm [04:56] need help with bamboo wacom tablet/ubuntu 10.04. Please help. [04:57] linusasus6, if that command shows your username, then you can be sure that the issue is just that your username is too long for the usual column, so it changes it to the uid (1000) [04:57] and with that, I have to go. Goodnight all [04:57] it's been a long long time since I've joined an irc channel and felt like a noob [04:58] heyos everyone btw ;-} [04:58] ya it show me my username [04:58] kalkor: don't worry, you're a pro already [04:58] littlebearz: ain't no thang but a chicken wang! [04:58] linusasus6, good, then it's just showing your uid because the normal column width can't fit your long username :) [04:58] Goodnight! [04:58] so how I change my username [04:59] can anyone help with computer recognition of wacom bamboo tablet on 10.04? I have essentially no computer knowledge in ubuntu, so PLEASE help me. [04:59] damn I'm impressed already byt he pretty colors and automatic addresses [04:59] wow holy shiz how you guys hang here and just be magnanimous? [04:59] jkazana: well, I tried allowing 67/68 to the dhcp server that my isp owns, but it's not located in the same subnet as I am, so I couldn't add the rule... I guess I could allow everyone to talk udp 67/68, but that sounds like a security risk :/ [05:00] help [05:00] i got a serious problem [05:01] geitenneuker: what your problem ?? [05:01] describe here ?? [05:01] i cannot install ubuntu on my 386 [05:01] geitenneuker: it's not meant to run on older hardware. [05:01] Hey, how do i change my location bar to text? [05:02] guys, noone knows how to convert a ,avi file to play on a usb port? [05:02] geitenneuker: can you pastebin your error when installing it ?? [05:02] geitenneuker: Ubuntu is designed for modern hardware, it is the way forward. you might find better luck with slackware, damn small linux, arch or perhaps gentoo [05:02] ok so anyhow if anyone cares much I'm an old hand at irc, and have been using ubuntu and xchat for years, but before that I was a mIRC user for many years as well... now I am finding xchat to be a real bitch and trying out some Smuxi.

[05:46] Many. [05:46] ya but someone with real machinecode understanding :P [05:46] and someone who wants to help [05:47] Side: Probably many. [05:47] on this channel? [05:47] Side: If you mean x86 machines, then I am present, and have some knowledge. [05:47] Side: However, if you happen to be running Ubuntu on your SPARC, or thermally powered banana, I might not be able to help. [05:48] I can't add custom backgrounds to the Appearance Manager that comes up in the GDM. They just show "Image missing." Help? [05:48] i run different things haha [05:48] well peter i have to know some things about Python [05:49] and C [05:49] Side: I've been programming Python for many years. Same with C. Shoot. [05:50] well first ,i want to learn it. If it's the best to begin with. How long it takes (how big the language is etc) [05:51] help, in ubuntu10.10, all the title bar is missing ,what happens? [05:52] how can i download gtk 2.6 [05:52] Side: Python is quite a nice language, and if you have to choose between Python and C, start with Python. [05:52] well so they told me [05:52] Side: Also consider taking a look at Ruby, especially if you wish to get started with web applications/CGI programming. [05:53] Well is there other knowledge i will need to learn to programm? [05:53] Side: depends massively [05:54] depends of what i want to do i presume [05:54] if you want to learn C, get "The C Programming Language", as it's the best book on it [05:54] it was written by the designers of UNIX and C [05:54] and is imho, the most well written programming book [05:55] mh, does it give practical exercises too? [05:55] Side: also a neat feature of the GCC compiler is that you can insert inline assembly code, which is just machine code in human readable form [05:55] Side: absolutely it does [05:56] you basically rewrite half of the Unix utilities [05:56] cause i know enough things where i can learn but i can't try [05:56] and i need practice to learn [05:56] hey guys, anyone else here has an HP mini 210 (netbook)?

[05:57] where do i get it? as real book or ebook,...? [05:57] Side: You could also consider going in completely abstract nonsense, like Haskell or Scheme. [05:57] or common lisp >.> [05:57] Side: There is a huge variety out there. Try something bizarre, and cripple yourself forever! [05:57] i know [05:57] when i c how much linux variations exist [05:57] Side: Become a Forth guru! Then try to go get a job in it. (read: don't follow my advise) [05:58] or learn dead languages like Basic and Smalltalk [05:58] more for sparetime [05:58] not for money [05:58] Naaah.

[05:59] Side: probably either [05:59] I got it for about 30 CAD [05:59] in paper format [05:59] europe here [05:59] your local book store should have it in the computer section [05:59] sick guy sitting behind his notebook at 7AM [06:00] or you can try finding it in ebook version [06:00] wont be a problem , but a book is easier to read [06:00] I agree [06:00] big book? [06:00] nope [06:00] not really [06:01] my motivation to learn came with ubuntu haha , but i'll have to learn about it too cause idon't know much yet [06:01] That's actually explained in the preface. They wanted to make the book as concise as possible, because "C is not a large programming language" [06:01] hi all, i deleted my xorg.conf .

I said that I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 to an HD via USB drive, rebooted into it and all I got was a black screen with a blinking cursor.

[06:55] blackshirt: yes, it reached the end and told me to reboot [06:55] <|alucard|> bazhang: i already tried but it will not recognize [06:56] grub is unconfigured or somethign [06:56] |alucard|, gtkpod and rhythmbox both? [06:56] DimaV: it jus freeze ?? [06:56] <|alucard|> bazhang: yes.. [06:56] <|alucard|> it already installed [06:56] DimaV: Ubuntu might have installed grub to a different drive than the one you're booting from. [06:57] blackshirt: not freeze, stopped at that blank. actually, i was able to install unconfigured grub via live cd but there is no menu.lst and it only gives me a low level grub [06:57] Jordan_U: all other drives are unpartitioned or non-linux [06:57] Hello, you guys have a moment? I'm having an issue with Server Edition 10.04 [06:58] DimaV: They don't need to have a linux filesystem for them to have a grub mbr+embedded area. [06:58] hi all, i have mobility radeon hd on my laptop, should i use the default radeon driver or the radeonhd driver ?? [06:58] Jordan_U: ok, but i am fairly certain that is not thecase [06:58] kindly tell [06:59] Jordan_U: how can i inno, figure out where the kernel is and whatever else grub needs to boot [06:59] abhishek: Readon HD man. If it doesn't work you can always switch. [06:59] okay [06:59] Can someone recommend me a good program for creating DVDs suitable to be played on DVD players? [06:59] DimaV: Boot info script will tell you, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 (or you can just try booting from each drive). [06:59] DimaV: maybe you need chroot to filesystem and reinstall grub [07:00] Snakkah, devede [07:00] <|alucard|> bazhang: how i know that my ipod is recognize? [07:00] Is that the best, bazhang? [07:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/524906/ so this is good ? [07:00] Snakkah, I know of no other [07:00] blackshirt: i tried [07:00] Hey everyone! I'm trying and doing moderately well at following this guide... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sixaxis But I have a few questions about what to do next. [07:01] blackshirt: via the non-chroot methods [07:01] Can someone help me set up my PS3 controller via bluetooth to Ubuntu? [07:02] I'm stuck at the part of the guide labeled 'Patch HIDD from bluez-utils' [07:02] DimaV: chroot to them [07:03] Sonic132: the error ?? [07:03] So, someone was telling me they had an issue with newer versions of Ubuntu Server edition automatically assuming the hdd's were SATA and not loading the kernel properly. [07:03] anyone know where i go to edit my touchpad conf? [07:04] blackshirt: No error. Just unsure of how to progress further. For one I don't know where Ubuntu installs the files. [07:04] All I know is the installer doesn't load the kernel if my IDE drives are connected. [07:04] blackshirt: Again the guides link was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sixaxis [07:04] so is my ps aux ok? [07:04] is anyone else having problems installing ubuntu server edition 10.04? The dependancy is for libept0 isn't working for some reason [07:05] <|alucard|> thanks for the help.. but its not working.. [07:05] blackshirt: I installed bluez-utils and now I'm not sure what to do next. [07:05] Sonic132: yes, i have read it...you say, stuck on patch hidd [07:05] anyone know where conf for touchpad is stored in 10.10? [07:05] blackshirt: Yeah...that part. [07:06] I downloaded the patch file it mentioned and placed it in /tmp [07:06] I installed bluez-utils and now am not sure what to do. [07:07] mv patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3 . [07:07] just as the guide says [07:07] bindi: I didn't choose where to save it. Ubuntu saved it wherever it wanted to. [07:08] bindi: I installed it from package manager since it wasn't working in terminal. [07:08] Sonic132: where you place bluez-utils directory [07:08] anyone know how to set these buttons back to where they belong on the right? [07:08] you moved it to /tmp you said..? [07:08] if i install ubuntu using wubu, thus run it as a file inside of windblows, what happens if i get a virus? can i still use ubuntu to cure it? === Molly is now known as Guest40885 [07:08] wubi* [07:09] Sonic132: your bluez-utils need patch from them to make ps3 working correctly.. i think like that [07:09] Does Ubuntu One (the cloud) use Amazon Ec2? Whenever I have IPBlock on, it keeps trying to block "detectedAP2PAmazonEc2Cloud". Should I be worried? [07:09] bindi: I saved patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3 to /tmp [07:09] Jordan_U: i take it back, i think you might be right [07:09] blackshirt: That's what I'm guessing. But how to patch what I don't know where it is. [07:09] ubuXubu: maybe you will lost your ubuntu... [07:09] *when I don't know where it is. [07:10] >.< [07:10] open the terminal [07:10] bindi: Ok === Guest40885 is now known as Draven [07:10] thats what you should have done in the first place === Draven is now known as Raven [07:10] well blackshirt i usually dual partition my ubuntu's but i did use wubi on my laptop [07:10] and wouldnt have any problems === Raven is now known as Thor [07:10] bindi: Well I would have but the command it said to use didn't work. === Thor is now known as Lazarus === Lazarus is now known as Larrow [07:11] lol finally [07:11] Jordan_U: paste.neoturbine.net/50592 [07:11] bindi: It said it couldn't find a bluez-utils. [07:11] anyway [07:11] Does Ubuntu One (the cloud) use Amazon Ec2? [07:11] Jordan_U: i installed the system to the 4gb drive [07:11] bindi: But I found it just fine in package manager. [07:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/524906/ is the amount of root line are ok or too much? [07:12] ubuXubu: when you are using wubi, your linux reside on windows partition like usually file on windows system.. if your file corrupted, i think it was a big trouble [07:12] virtually setup Ubuntu 10.10 server in a few minutes without a glitch. [07:12] Wow, is it always this busy? Anyway, does anyone have a second to help me with 10.04 server? [07:12] bindi: So basicly I need to know where to put the patch file that it mentions in the guide so that bluez-utils will work with my controller and pair up. [07:12] blackshirt, this is the question i have [07:13] Sonic132: mv /tmp/patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3 . [07:13] linausasus6: i think it was not matter [07:13] how can I chang dns settings for all connections, wired and all wireless. as it is now it seem that I have to make changes specifically for every connection. [07:14] DimaV: Make sure that you BIOS is setup to boot from either sda or sdc and it should boot fine. [07:14] bindi: Where am I moving the file to? I don't know where bluez-utils is! [07:14] normally i use ubuntu to rescue sick windblows filesystems, but on my laptop ubuntu is a windblows file. i suppose if i could access it maybe it would still save windows...maybe the question has never been asked. maybe noone knows. its a black hole. [07:14] is it just me or are usb installs a million times harder than cd installs [07:14] Sonic132: to . [07:14] Jordan_U: in case i am forced to use the minimal grub, how do i boot into the system? [07:14] to '.'? Is that even a location? [07:14] ubuXubu: boot up with livecd... [07:14] sure :P [07:15] bindi: Ok moved now what? [07:15] c31 well my windblows is not corrupt at this point i was just wondering. but i do appreciate your comments. [07:15] Jordan_U: if u look from line 124 down, that shows what looks like my system (3jane) [07:15] Sonic132: follow the guide [07:15] Sonic132: are you have downloaded patch ? [07:15] bindi: Where did we leave off with now? [07:15] DimaV: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#GRUB-only-offers-a-rescue-shell [07:16] Oh hmm. [07:16] Is bazhang still here? [07:16] blackshirt: The file bindi just had me move was the patch. [07:16] how do I add something to the end of a file? [07:16] Sonic132: didnt "apt-get source bluez-utils" work? [07:16] I know this is not related to ubuntu but I can't find the simple answer for this, I have an xls file and it has cells with numbers and words in the same field, I want to change the color but when I do that numbers color stays the same! I have no idea why? === cmhamill is now known as shapoopy [07:17] thank anyway for help I think getting better I only have one bug remaining [07:17] When I'm authoring a DVD, what should the final pixel size be?

[09:35] Sonic132: head -n3 patch-file ought to be good enough, you only need to see one directory line [09:35] Gnea: Also it's 1 patch file 'patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3' [09:35] Sonic132: that's fine, so: head -n3 patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3 [09:36] Sonic132: it's late, I saw 2 commands and thought 2 patch files :p [09:36] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524954/ [09:37] Gnea: So that helps me give it the right permissions so that it can work it's magic?

[09:42] brpeppe: But you should see a black screen and something like a keyboard at the bottom of that. then you just press any key, and you're able to choose language, and if you want to install or try, or other options [09:42] maverick [09:42] 10.10 [09:42] Sonic132: that's probably why it doesn't work, that patch was designed for an earlier version of bluez [09:43] Gnea: So I can skip it then? If so why isn't it connecting to my controller? What else did I mess up on? [09:43] Sonic132: 10.10 is just too new, no one's written the code for it yet [09:43] Sonic132: you'll either have to revert to an older ubuntu or figure out how to hack it to work right [09:44] Gnea: Awww...so there isn't a way to connect it yet? [09:44] Sonic132: I have no idea, I don't own one and have never done it [09:44] Oh well. Thanks for solving the mystery of why it's being so hard to work with. [09:44] Sonic132: the only way, as I said, is to either find someone that's done it already, or figure it out yourself [09:44] I just compiled automake 1.11. but Apt-cache Policy automake 1.11 gives :automake1.11: [09:45] Installed: (none) [09:45] Candidate: (none) [09:45] Version table:.

I am trying to follow instructions on installing a RoR app (Radiant) and I can't figure out how to add the directory containing the Radiant command to my PATH [10:06] linux related, slightly off topic... i have mp3s that show the correct length on ubuntu (1:15:34), but the wrong length on android(00 - any ideas? [10:06] hello folks. [10:06] got a question here about the assignment of various outputs on a soundcard. [10:07] is it actually possible for example to switch around the front and rear channel, and set the subwoofer/center out as another front out? [10:07] is there a CLI based services editor ? [10:07] in ubu [10:07] @ElSevilla: sysconfrc ;) [10:07] ElSevilla: sysv-rc-conf [10:07] I'm not sure what that is exactly [10:08] the sound card in question is an Creative Audigy 2 ZS, so its an emu102k chip in there. [10:08] Vistaus, llutz - thanks [10:09] Another queston I have is how to edit my bashrc file... the system will not let me edit it [10:10] microjosh, what kind of file is it? [10:10] skumara: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/09/encrypt-thumb-drives-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-truecrypt/ [10:11] it is just labelled bash.bashrc [10:12] rdw200169, thanks. [10:12] you must be root to touch it if it doesnt let you then i'd guess. use "sudo gedit " [10:13] I'm having a problem understanding this instruction for installing an app... it says "Once radiant has been installed successfully, you need to add the directory containing the radiant command to your PATH. If you’re using Bash, you can add a line like this to your .bashrc file: [10:13] export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.8.1/bin " [10:13] is there a way i can do a memory test on my mem using my ubuntu with out using the live cd just via inside my ubuntu os? [10:13] anyone have any idea how to change channels on a soundcard here? switching the front/rear channels is what i want to do. [10:14] Dwade09: if you installed ubuntu the default way, reboot your pc and grub should have memtest listed as one of the options. [10:14] vrga, never use sudo with a graphical application. always use gksudo. [10:14] Dwade09: you need to be outside the OS [10:14] i'll give that a shot vrga... although, now i'm not sure if that's what i should even be doing [10:14] Dwade09: the ubuntu boot loader (not cd) has an option to boot memtest [10:15] s3r3n1t7: true that. been a while since i used anything with sudo and gksudo :D [10:15] vrga, just jugging your memory then :-) keep it in mind with future references [10:15] vrga, and ikonia i do not have agrub boot loader its straight up ubuntu there is no dual boot and no grub loader already tried that route [10:15] s3r3n1t7: yeah, thanks :D [10:15] Dwade09: if you press escape when booting you'll see the boot loader [10:16] ok, i will try gksudo... did you by any chance see my question after? [10:16] was using gentoo for a while, so yeah, this is a big change :p [10:16] did not know that, thank you ikonia and how long does it take to do the mem test for a 4gb ram? [10:16] no more tweaking every little detaaail. [10:16] microjosh: its kinda hard to judge, you might want to put a link to the page from which you're drawing your info [10:17] hello [10:17] s3r3n1t7, the result I came up with was this: 's/\([,^]"[^"]*\),/\1--ESCAPED_COMMA--/g;s/^\([^"]\)/"\1/;s/\([^"]\),/\1",/g;s/,\([^"]\)/,"\1/g;s/\([^"]\)$/\1"/;s/--ESCAPED_COMMA--/,/' [10:17] anyone can help to make my headphones working on Ubuntu 10.10, speakers are working fine though [10:17] Ok.. vrga.... here is the link https://github.com/radiant/radiant/wiki/Installing-on-Ubuntu [10:17] it's the very last instruction [10:17] is anyone alive here? [10:17] question answered :P [10:17] i haven't checked my pulse yet [10:18] welll, i have a question [10:18] a problem [10:18] microjosh: yeah, you're supposed to do that. [10:18] my ubuntu install hangs at a certain point in the process [10:18] ok... i'll try it out... thanks for the suggestion! [10:18] Hi all! [10:18] herzi, copy pasted on my work wiki, thanks a lot :-) It's safe to say you've saved me a lot of work [10:19] and there isn't a helpful error message [10:19] no audio output on my headphones, how to solve it? [10:19] either enable "Show hidden files" in your file manager, or do it the cli way. [10:19] i'm rerunning it right now, can someone help me when I bring it up again? [10:19] the .bashrc file should be in your home dir. [10:19] teths will get angry if teths don't receive an answer [10:19] I selected 'completely remove' in synaptic, but a program still remembers my old settings.. how do get rid of it and start fresh? [10:19] vrga.. i found it in my 'etc' directory [10:19] you wouldn't like me if i'm angry [10:20] s3r3n1t7, ElSevilla, just make sure the escape sequence for "comma in quote" doesn't appear in your data (but --ESCAPED_COMMA-- seems to be pretty safe in that regard) [10:20] could there be more than one bashrc file? [10:20] *calmly, like Bruce Banner* [10:20] microjosh, you can include other files in your main bashrc [10:20] microjosh: there should be a .bashrc file in your home dir. [10:20] using "source" (bashism) or "." (common sh syntax) [10:20] teth, does it just freeze? no mouse action or anything? [10:20] no, the mouse is still there [10:20] but you can't click anything? [10:21] herzi... ok, i'm new to ubuntu, so I'm figuring this out on the fly [10:21] microjosh, also, there are moultiple .bashrc files aready, you're likely to have /etc/bashrc as well [10:21] and there is a small panel i can open which shows what the install script is doing [10:21] ok.. so do you think the instruction is for the home bashrc file? [10:21] herzi, it won't appear in the data (it's byte encoded data, so a lot of numbers, no real text), which means i should be fine. Tnx [10:21] so, i'm running the install right this moment [10:21] Hi [10:21] k [10:21] microjosh: yes, i believe it is. [10:21] I selected 'completely remove' in synaptic, but a program still remembers my old settings.. how do get rid of it and start fresh? [10:22] How can I know the path to an installed package(eg python-software-properties) [10:22] s3r3n1t7, you should look into the documentation of sed to understand each of the s/// commands that are in there [10:22] ? [10:22] (then you can quickly come up with something like this on your own pretty soonish) [10:22] herzi, i'm ok with sed in general, but the making of the exp's is a euhm ... well still hard. I will [10:23] s3r3n1t7, the key information is ^ == line beginning; $ == line ending; [^x] means not the letter x and \1 means the first passage enquoted in \(...\) [10:23] aha.. show hidden files... there it is [10:23] felafel123234231, usually you have to strace the program and find out which config files it reads [10:23] any help to make headphones work on Ubuntu? [10:23] herzi, aight ... also copy pasted for future reference [10:23] usually something like /home/username/.program [10:24] herzi - ok thanks I'll have a look [10:24] rohanc try going to sound preferences, output, and for connector select analog output [10:24] hello, i have an asus k52c [10:24] and under ubuntu the touchpad doesn't work with 2fingers and so on [10:24] i wonder how well ubuntu would run on this pc http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883170002 [10:25] anyone got any idea how to rearrange outputs for the connectors on my soundcard? (audigy 2 zs) [10:25] madfox: it is already in that mode, speakers are working fine though [10:26] i need to switch the front/rear channels and i need to put another front output on my sub/center channel [10:26] I'm currently "Copying files..." [10:26] madfox: I've tried alsa mixer too.. didn't make any difference [10:27] zfe: the 2fingers touchpad functions are driver managed. Check if Asus have got driver for linux [10:27] rohanc then I dont know [10:27] I would like to execute a graphical application as another user. How can i achieve this? [10:27] madfox: ok [10:28] zerwas: sudo [10:28] Hi, is there any specific reason why ubuntu does not set the java home and class path env variables correctly after selecting java version. I think it would be great to have this functionality. [10:28] asig> could you give me the exact command? === Freejack is now known as Freejack` [10:28] zerwas: gksudo -u user "app-command" [10:28] any help on making my headphones work on Ubuntu?

[10:35] Teth: Username section? [10:35] No caps are allowed in the username [10:36] and it doesn't tell me that [10:36] asig> sudo login username, then i'm logged in as the other user. executing "xterm" results in Can't open display: :0.0 [10:36] also: it is zero effort to force it to lowercase :P [10:36] michiwend, it wants to add it to my firefox [10:36] Teth: I didn't know either... but I never tried it in upper case(that's for the passwords =P) [10:37] Dwade09, jap... do not add it to firefox but download it. for example with wget [10:37] How can I remove all packages starting with PHP5? [10:37] thank you :P [10:39] it's installing [10:39] Gnea, hey [10:39] that really annoys me. something like that, it should inform the user [10:39] hello guys... I have a question regarding... Lamp, how can I add, edit, delete freely using lamp... without using nautilus command..? [10:39] i suppose I also ought to know usernames can't have caps :P [10:39] Gnea, they work with pref -> keyboard shortcuts [10:40] If you change the files directly they can have caps, but it breaks some programs ^_^ [10:40] Ie.. the installer... and postfix..... [10:40] when is the new version of ubuntu coming out? its usually about now in the year isnt it? [10:40] Gnea, this issue popped up after upgrading to 10.10 [10:40] michiwend, it worked but not long after i get this To see notifications via libnotify, the libnotify-bin package needs to be installed. Please install this package via System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. [10:41] Dwade09, yeah... just do this :) [10:41] as a side question, what audio subsystems are included with the latest ubuntu release? is it the same alsa-pulseaudio thingy or? [10:41] Is it possible to add, edit , delete , or direct the www of my lamp on my home folder? such that I could add, edit delete freely my php files. [10:42] installing now michiwend was already going to do that. [10:42] napz: sure, but that is silly, because then you're presenting huge security problems [10:42] napz: there is a reason that /var/www is meant to be owned by www-data:www-data [10:43] thank you michiwend [10:43] np [10:43] vmstat outputs on first line some averages, if i want to get only the current values in a cron script is there any other way than to ignore the first outputted statline ? === basso is now known as nukedeath [10:43] rdw200169 so do you mean...

I'll check google for that.... thanks bastid [10:45] k [10:45] anyone can help me? [10:45] napz you could also try webdav or use the edit function in ftp which downloads the file to edit then asks to upload it if its changed. Best to use one or the other though or you can end up with permissions problems as webdav uses the server user when it saves files so you can't access them over ftp. [10:45] napz: in terminal type: sudo adduser napz www-data assuming your username is napz [10:45] AbhiJit, i have a dvd player and come with it a usb port , so i buy for a pendrive and i want to copy a .avi file in the pendrive to play video on the dvd player,how can i convert this avi file to play on the usb port on my dvd?

[12:47] sosaited, if so then open synaptic again for libvala but install the -dev package of it [12:47] hi [12:47] coz_: I already compiled vala 0.10. I just need to make sure it is compiled because I am getting an error in an autogen.sh [12:47] avant-window-navigator - A MacOS X like panel for GNOME [12:47] I have Ubuntu 10.4 how to upgrade to 10.10 [12:48] coz_: Installed dev already [12:48] sosaited, right install the libvala -dev package [12:48] !upgrade | Hadi [12:48] Hadi: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:48] anyone using qtsixa? I managed to connect my ps3 controller via usb but when it is connected the emulator (mupen64plus) crashes when starting a rom [12:48] Hi everyone [12:48] any ideas? [12:48] not sure if I can safely try to kill those proccesses they looks weird [12:48] I have tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop edition and even Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition on it. But the LiveCDs are unable to start (i just get a blank screen) [12:48] petan: why are you doing all this anyway? [12:48] coz_, Installed dev already [12:48] sosaited, or in terminal sudo apt-get build-dep vala [12:48] So i tried to install using the ubuntu alternate cd. it installed perfectly but when i try to boot into this system, i just get a blank screen (gdm is supposed to load at this point but it doesn't) [12:49] So i installed only the CLI from the alternate cd. now i am able to boot into the system. So, how do i add a DE to this system, without encountering the same type of problem encountered earlier (gdm not loading). [12:49] coz_, But I didn't get any error when I compiled vala. I just need to make sure it is not conflicting with something from synaptic. [12:49] coz_, Since im using Xubuntu and theres no Administration->Disk Utility in System is there something else I can do? [12:49] I have an old compaq laptop (i don't know the exact model) [12:49] 10 proccesses which has 50% of mem each that looks like some bug more [12:49] JackJ, did you go to #xubuntu channel about this ?? [12:49] I want to know why system load is that high [12:50] coz_, And that would be the first of many screw ups tonight, Ill go there now, thanks [12:50] JackJ, they may have better troubleshooting for you :) [12:50] I even tried Debian Lenny and it got installed perfectly on this laptop [12:50] cdn anyone help [12:50] can anyone help? [12:50] I wonder if xubuntu incluides palimpsest - which is what that 'disk utility' icon runs. [12:50] I am trying to install a beta version of tracker and when I run autogen.sh I get shift: 48: can't shift that many . === CrazyET is now known as ChesterX === sam__ is now known as sinusoid [12:51] rigved: sounds like some sort of video issue. whats your video card? [12:51] Dr_Willis, that sounds reasonable [12:51] Dr_Willis I want to know why system load is that high [12:51] coz_: You gave up on me mate? :) [12:51] Dr_Willis that is why [12:51] StaRetji1, no sorry guy [12:52] Dr_Willis: some integrated intel chipset [12:52] petan: all i ever use is htop. if somthign is crashed taking toomuch stuff.. id just reboot and move along. [12:52] this is machine I can not restart [12:52] StaRetji1, you are also using xubuntu yes? [12:52] rigved: You may want to determine the exact chipset and check the forums. could be some bugs. or try running 'startx' at the console and see if any error messages give some cluies. [12:52] it supposed to be running non stop [12:53] How do I determine the root of the filesystem of a specific directory? E.g., I have a seperate /home/ partion, and I want to know that /home/undecim/ is on the /home/ filesystem. (for use in a script) [12:53] Dr_Willis: i have currently only installed the ubuntu command line [12:53] coz_: no, it's ubuntu minimal with xfce4 installed on it, that is it [12:53] cheers, how can I deactivate that ubuntu waits for user input if a fstab mount does not work? its somewhat annoying to have to go to the server room, just to press space so that sshd finally gets a chance to start [12:53] Dr_Willis: will startx still work [12:53] rigved: the alternative isntaller cd - installs the full gnome desktop. [12:53] StaRetji1, ah open a terminal and try /usr/bin/jockey-gtk [12:53] Hi. I have installed Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition on my Desktop PC, but it doesn't work proprely. Once the menu for selecting the operating system to load (Ubuntu 10.04. Windows XP Pro) is displayed and I choose to load ubuntu, after some seconds a command line console appears. Ubuntu is not loaded with its normal graphical user interface, but with this command line interface! [12:53] rigved: unless you used the SERVER cd... [12:53] Pirx-Danford: Fix the bad fstab entry [12:53] \msg [12:54] \join #makefile [12:54] zesoze: try a / [12:54] Dr_Willis: no it's not the server cd [12:54] rigved: as i said the alternative cd' installs the same system as the ubuntu live/desktop cd does. [12:54] how do i install KDE in terminal to have as an option at login, without getting Kubuntu startup, what is the command in terminal? [12:54] rigved: if GDM is not starting.. try 'startx' and check for error messages as to why,. [12:55] ok so, I downloaded a url using the wget command, Can i display the content of this url from the command promt ? [12:55] rigved: or 'sudo service gdm start' [12:55] How I can load Ubuntu with its Graphical User Interface? [12:55] Dr_Willis: i tried to install using the ubuntu alternate cd. it installed perfectly (normal install) but when i try to boot into this system, i just get a blank screen (gdm is supposed to load at this point but it doesn't) [12:55] hi where can I get help for Makefile usage? [12:55] undecim: the fstab entry is not bad, its just a reoccuring driver problem, I want ubuntu to ignore when this entry does not work [12:55] anybody knows how to check why sys load is that high [12:56] Pirx-Danford: Not sure... maybe as a workaround, you can remove the entry and then mount it in /etc/rc.local instead (leaving the fstab line commented out, and a note about what you did) [12:56] coz_: -bash: /usr/bin/jockey-gtk: No such file or directory [12:57] StaRetji1, did you also check in the #xubuntu channel about this? [12:57] undecim: that is a great idea I am pretty sure it will work, thanks! [12:57] undecim: i was just typing that also.. :P [12:57] StaRetji1, or sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk [12:57] Dr_Willis: lol [12:57] Dr_Willis: Great minds think alike, I guess [12:57] Ive done similer things on some network/usb devices that were sluggish to boot. [12:57] coz_: I'm doing it now, well, didn't, folks there are mostly idle :/ [12:59] I love that Linux is flexible enough to let us do that kind of stuff. No need to immediately fix the root of the problem if it's easier to do a workaround so that you can get a production server working like it should. [13:00] Dr_Willis: i have currently installed only the ubuntu command line (without DE). is there some way to install the DE from the alternate cd now (instead of installing the entire system again? [13:00] what is wrong with this command grep -rl 'word' ? [13:00] after I press enter it just seems to hang [13:00] rigved: the alternative Cd DOES include the desktop/gui.. the server cd does not. have you tried the 'startx' command ? [13:01] Dr_Willis: yes i tried it. it said command not found [13:01] Kingsy: it waits for your input [13:01] rigved: then You used the server cd or some mini-cd it seems.. install the 'ubuntu-desktop' package. [13:01] hi where can I get help for Makefile ? [13:01] rigved: but it may be faster to just use the alternative-cd taht includes the desktop. [13:01] zesoze: depends on the issue. [13:01] strull - huh? why? I am saying search recursivly the currenty dir for that string? [13:01] rigved: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:02] what am I missing? [13:02] Kingsy: where do you say "current dir" ? [13:02] oh lol [13:02] Kingsy: grep -Rl 'word' * [13:02] Dr_Willis: I have a Makefile that I want run but I don't know how to do it. The only rule that has inside it is $@.c: [13:02] rather : grep -Rl 'word' . [13:02] when I try make i get the message: no rule... [13:03] anybody knows how to check why sys load is very high [13:03] howdy [13:03] yea that was a dumbass moment [13:03] thanks guys [13:03] petan: Try top? [13:03] Dcite I dont see reason there [13:03] only it is high but why [13:03] petan: What do you mean high system load? [13:04] this [13:04] Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 60.8%sy, 38.5%ni, 0.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [13:04] petan, in terminal run pstree -p to see what processes are running [13:04] Dr_Willis: i think there's some misunderstanding. i did install gnome (normal setup) using the ubuntu alternate cd. it installed perfectly but when i try to boot into this system, i just get a blank screen (gdm is supposed to load at this point but it doesn't). also since gdm does not load, there's no way to type any commands because i do not even have a terminal window to work with. but i will try to install everything again as you have suggested (includin [13:04] g the gnome desktop from the cd) [13:04] petan: Writting something to disk right now? [13:04] Dcite not [13:04] Hello Everyone..... [13:05] here is the Makefile: http://paste.ubuntu.com/525036/ [13:05] rigved: you can still get to the console somehow. if gdm is not starting. one way. try alt-ctrl-f1, another way at the grub menu, try the recovery mode. or edit the normal grub line and replace the options at the end with 'text' [13:05] petan, actually pstree -p | more would be easier [13:05] petan: Normally I expeted top to show top cpu usage (regardless of nice or system..) I wonder asking about the writting question since I was wondering if your system was running on PIO mode. [13:06] coz_ I did that how I find what if using cpu too high [13:06] * is [13:06] rigved: ie: - replace --> "quiet splash" with 'text' [13:06] My touchpad is making me miss my typing since I keep grazing it ^_^ [13:06] coz_ not I do not need to know what is running just what is causing that troubles [13:06] * note I [13:06] top and htop i recall can hide some processes.. they have options to show/hide some types. [13:07] In case anyone else comes in with the same issue I had earlier, the reason why Pidgin was having issues is cause of the gfire plugin, or more correctly cause the xfire servers kicked me off and it caused issues in Pidgin [13:07] Can someone help me with my Ethernet Card? lspci output : AR8131 driver. But im not sure how to install it. Lucid wont connect through it. Anyone please.... [13:07] Dr_Willis: oh. i did not know about that. i'll try that [13:07] Hey I have enabled syndaemon in background. How can I disable it or kill it.. [13:07] petan, sudo apt-get install htop then run htop [13:07] using syndaemon -d [13:07] Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet [13:07] coz_ I tried but does not tell me which proccess is using cpu that much [13:07] coz_ all proccesses are almost 0 [13:07] I had to load up my custom Xubuntu 9.04 image to test pidgin there and noticed xfire disconnected on me [13:08] petan, if all are at near 0 then why do you think something is useing cpu? [13:08] htop by default seems to only show the current users threads. and hides some other things.. see its 'f2' settings. [13:08] coz_ because I see it in stats of top [13:08] could be the ones slurpping the cpu are hidden by default. [13:08] Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 60.8%sy, 38.5%ni, 0.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [13:08] Can i display the content of a url through the command propmt ? [13:09] adam_: lynx, w3m [13:09] adam_: w3m should be installed already. [13:09] adam_: yes, but you need to define "content". do you want to be able to actually browse textually? then use "w3m" or "links2". do you want an ed-like interface? then "edbrowse". do you just want to see the plain HTML? then wget + cat [13:09] adam_: Try lynx, links or even download the link andopen with a text editor :) [13:09] adam_: depends on what the contents are.. [13:10] coz_ current load is always almost 1 [13:10] cool thanks guys ;D [13:10] hey anyone know how i can read sms from a phone conected by usb [13:10] petan, ok then install htop hit F2 and see what other options you might it to show [13:10] htop seems to hide 'kernel threads' by default.. whatever those are. :) [13:11] that is what I need to know how to show [13:11] Dr_Willis, I believe that can be changed in the F2 options men [13:11] htop -> f2 -> display options [13:11] menu I meant [13:11] coz_: i just loooked at them. :) No idea what a kernel thread is.. but its hidden by default [13:11] how can I exec a Makefile rule $@.c: ? [13:12] I would say kernel module than thread [13:12] irc_user_name [13:12] Dr_Willis, i will have to play with this later and test it :) who knows what I might find :) [13:12] I need to source ./filename as root, though when i use sudo i get command not found. is there another way to do this? [13:12] wow - i got like 40 console-kit-deamons running. :) [13:12] ntop right? [13:12] brian_l: use the full path perhaps. [13:12] ill try [13:12] *htop rather [13:13] brian_l: whats teh poin of sourceing it via sudo? you are just running a script in a odd wah? [13:14] I still have same problem - high load of cpu caused by sys load [13:14] so if I want to create a textfile and put it in a specific directory, solely by using the command prompt, can i do so ? [13:14] adam_, cd to the location of the file first [13:14] allright [13:14] adam_, then mv nameoffile location/you/want [13:14] if a kernel thread was causeing the high load.. how would you even kill it? [13:14] coz_: This program needs a running X session. Please use jockey-text for a command line version of Jockey. [13:15] Xjump FTw Oo [13:15] adam_: thats rather easy to do. You may want to check some bash scripting guides. [13:15] Dr_Willis no problem to reload module [13:15] adam_, example mv text.txt /usr/share/applications [13:15] allright thanks [13:15] coz_: I've installed it, should I try to set vesa in xorg.conf and then run jockey? [13:15] adam_, actually you have to use sudo in front of that sorry [13:15] ah yes [13:15] ofcourse [13:15] adam_, so sudo mv [13:15] im with ya thanks [13:15] adam_, if you just want to copy the file to another location it is sudo cp [13:16] !terminal > adam_ [13:16] adam_, please see my private message [13:16] DR_Willis: i am trying to install openvpn and am generating keys by following docs [13:16] not sure if im doing this right [13:17] brian_l: you may want to learn some basics first.. then try advanced things. [13:17] brian_l: normally you sould just make a 'script' and do 'sudo scriptname' not 'source'ing the file. [13:18] Unless we are confused by what you mean by source. [13:18] !firewall > duffydack [13:18] duffydack, please see my private message [13:18] Dr_Willis: thanks! [13:19] brian_l: theres only a few cases wehere you would use 'source' [13:19] would anyone have a recommendation for a way to split stdout of one app to two others in such a way that either reader can block on reads and not tie up the writer ? it's of data loss ococurs, though i would be willing to give it a fair bit of ram for buffer. Currenty using a named fifo 'ao' in the command string 'app3 ao & app1 | tee ao | app2-read but app1 will pause and eventually die if app3 is disabled. [13:19] hello, i am new to this. [13:20] I am having an issue with my wireless connection and have not been able to find the fix [13:20] can someone help? [13:20] 안녕? [13:21] !zh | vividslq [13:21] vividslq: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:21] !kr | vividslq [13:21] I still have same problem - high load of cpu caused by sys load [13:21] Err pici, ubuntu doesn't have a korean version? [13:21] Dcite: that would be !ko [13:22] Since that was the language I saw. [13:22] maybe [13:22] Dcite: Sorry, I was going by host location, my unicode support here is bad. (putty/windows) [13:22] darren: Did wifi ever work to begin with? [13:22] I have added an account to gwibber three times in the past 5 min, and it doesn't show any accounts! Odd, any ideas? [13:23] hello Dcite. No it did not. I even tried loading ubuntu with a wired connection to make sure that it could download all current drivers [13:23] hey guys I have a question... before lucid i was able to open most applications in another language with LANGUAGE= "fr_FR" gimp << for example ,,,now I get "fr_FR" command not found... a new of doing this perhaps??? [13:23] darren: Silly question, do you know if your wireless adapter is supported by linux? [13:24] darren: If not, do you know what it is atleast? [13:24] coz_: no space between = and "fr... LANG="fr_FR" [13:24] it is supposed to be. It is the broadcom 4321 rev03 [13:24] llutz, mmm let me try and just in case "duh" if it works :) [13:24] how do I type the tilde command ? =D [13:25] llutz, duh [13:25] lol [13:25] i am trying to get the steps to install windows drivers using ndiswrapper, but I am only finding pieces here and there [13:25] coz_: LANGUAGE= "fr_FR" means "unset LANGUAGE and run "fr_FR"" [13:26] llutz, yeah I just didnt see that so again "duh" and thanks :) [13:26] yo #ubuntu,i accidentally uninstalled ubuntu-desktop [13:26] gump, ok sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:27] gump: dude, thats a metapackage, you'll be fine [13:27] so ive got a terminal up from safe-mode or whatever, but its disconnected from the internet [13:27] darren: There is a chance that ndiswrapper might not work as it's no longer supported (I'm not sure if ubuntu itself still supports it) [13:27] dude i know [13:27] gump, no offense meant [13:27] but how do i connect to the internet with terminal? [13:27] is glxgears suitable for testing 3d acceleration? [13:27] gump: What kind of internet do you have? Ethernet? DSL? Cable? Wifi? [13:27] gump: dhcpcd, if you got wired [13:27] wifi [13:28] CRAP!. Then what are my options other than being connected? [13:28] no wired, sadly [13:28] e0 is not working === Seveaz is now known as Seveas [13:28] gump, try sudo ifup ra0 [13:28] gump: Err never tried wifi via console... [13:28] gump, and sudo ifdown ra0 to bring it down [13:28] coz, tried, it returns unknown interface ra0=ra0 [13:28] coz_: Doesn't he need to authenticate somehow? [13:29] gump: try iwconfig [13:29] gump: Maybe wlan0? Look in ifconfig, see what you have ^_^ [13:29] darren: I can't really answer you at the moment =/ [13:29] Dcite, mmm not sure about that one [13:29] yes its wlan0 [13:29] how do i connect? [13:29] thanks. Will keep looking. [13:30] gump: ifup wlan0 [13:30] gump: sudo ifup wlan0 [13:30] after Gparting, I manually installed Ubuntu next to XP, but it Ub fails to load. Have results.txt from boot_info_script. Help? [13:30] guys my attention is severly being pulled in several directions here... I am not able to answer questions confidently ..so I am off until later hopefully [13:30] i tried opening the apache conf in Vi and Vim but I can't. I get a bus error :P also i tried to create a text file using Vi on the desktop, same thing... not #Linode related but maybe you guys know why? [13:31] "ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0" [13:31] ffffffffffffffffffffffff [13:31] I have a strange problem. I have a 500gb USB HDD, and 450gb of data in it. I can see all 450gb of it in linux, and only 18,6gb in windows. any thoughts? [13:31] woops [13:31] gump: same instructions as coz_, except use wlan0 [13:31] wtf, wlan0 is the network, it can even see it [13:31] what is Bus Error? always comes out when I try to Vim [13:31] but sudo ifup wlan0 returns unknown interface [13:31] suigeneris: yes, don't use Windows :P [13:31] Is it safe to remove the package "linux-firmware" ?? [13:32] suigeneris: whats the partitioning like? [13:32] gump: type iwconfig [13:32] ska: it contains frimware for a lot of devices that would stop working without it [13:32] ska: i doubt it, why do you need to remove it [13:32] aeon-ltd one big partition [13:32] iwconfig returns wlan0 as the only wireles network in range [13:32] Can anybody help me how to kill a background process? [13:32] its my network [13:32] suigeneris: is this a livecd your checking with? [13:32] I need to free up some space on / [13:32] ska: wifi cards; tv/dvb tunners; normal NCs etc .... [13:32] ska: wifi cards; tv/dvb tunners; normal NICs etc .... [13:33] I have started syndaemon -d and unable to kill it [13:33] aeon-ltd nope [13:33] rigved, iwconfig returns wlan0 as the network [13:33] ska: get rid of other things, eg openoffice if you don't need it [13:33] ska: "sudo apt-get clean " weill clean the apt cache of deb files [13:33] simar: find its processid and kill it - is one way i imagine.. the docs may mention a more proper way [13:33] gump: and you said that sudo ifup wlan0 does not work, right? [13:33] Ok. I already have /var and /usr on their own partitions... [13:33] correct [13:33] i realize this is borderline nazi-ism but can anyone explain to me simply the easiest way to share files with an ubuntu host a virtualbox winblows 7 VM ? [13:33] gump: wierd [13:33] Dr_Willis, How can I find the process id? [13:34] morning Dr_Willis [13:34] suigeneris: what formatting? [13:34] I see linux-generic-image is flagged as "broken" by aptitute.. [13:34] how can i install ubuntu-desktop without the internet???? [13:34] aeon-ltd ntfs [13:34] did i brick my laptop???? [13:34] gump: do you have the LiveCD [13:34] FFFFFFFFFF [13:34] !aptoncd | gump [13:34] gump: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [13:34] gump: Have a cd/usb for ubuntu around? [13:34] gwibber can't send to Twitter. Any possible help? [13:34] yes dcite [13:34] what would be the command to launch the client for ubuntuone? [13:34] should i boot from livecd? [13:34] brbr live cd. now i feel dumb [13:34] *brb [13:34] gump: yes [13:35] gump: I'm actually not too sure.. I forgot how to do it ^_^ [13:35] gump: supposedly you can use the livecd as a source to reinstall certain parts [13:35] I am new to Linux and installed Ubuntu on my laptop. the laptop has a AMD Turion 64 processor and I wondered why the 64bit version of the OS did not install? [13:36] Dcite: i think so too [13:36] !details | WebSlinger [13:36] WebSlinger: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:36] WebSlinger, do you have the 32 bit version installed? [13:36] suigeneris: are you sure the data isn't corrupt? of the hdd migh have bad sectors? [13:36] *or [13:37] How much does ttys add to the boot time really? Is it worth it to remove loading of some ttys? [13:37] WebSlinger: did you use the ADM64 version of Ubuntu? [13:37] :) [13:37] g'day all - anyone have a working triple monitor setup with 3x nvidia GPUs + compiz? [13:37] Is there a channel for gwibber? [13:37] I am running Ubunto's latest stable release, I did an upgrade from the 9.04 version [13:38] when I attempted to install a 64bit progam recently, it returned an error of wrong architecture [13:38] again, please pardon the questions, I am new to linux...so please be gentle :) [13:39] hey, I have a /var/crash/linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic.0.crash - how do I get a traceback out of this file?

[14:00] roadman1980: theres no need to msg me. chat in the chnnel please [14:00] roadman1980: you can use unetbootin, or other tools and a ubuntu iso to make a bootable usb flash drive. [14:00] kwtm: You don't need sudo to get a package's source, just make sure that you're in a directory that your your user can write to. [14:01] kwtm: why not try it yourself? [14:01] shadow98: i remember there was a list of broken packages. but anyways, when you have a look at the installed packages, you will see some characters at the start of the line [14:01] ubuntu: Congrats on new disk. I think boot partition can be any fs. [14:01] eaerth: Then sudo is exactly what you need. I'm not sure what the problem is then. [14:01] shadow98: if one of the characters is B, then that package is broken [14:01] kwtm: k thanks [14:02] iceroot: A question that is often asked. The answer is: I would like to know what is supposed to happen, so that if something unexpected happens, I can tell whether there was an error or whether it was supposed to happen; also because I would like to get this done as efficiently as possible, as not everyone has the time to tinker --I just want to do it and get it done.

Also, if I want to modify the config options before compiling, will "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b" give me a chance to do that (as if I had typed "configure && make && make install") or will it bypass me and just compile everything with default options?

[14:52] ok got it [14:52] solved xD just have to load maximus at start [14:52] <_16BitSubsystem_> drogeek: DejaVu [14:53] !upgrade | Baxnie [14:53] Baxnie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:53] i've tried everything i can think of, but i'm getting nowhere.. [14:53] Baxnie: save your /home and just install fresh [14:53] Baxnie, explain, won't boot [14:53] BluesKaj: update manager offered me installing new ubuntu, 10.10, then i've installed it. he asked for restart, then it start running and then black screen [14:54] i cant say much, cause almost nothing happens [14:55] Baxnie, no prompt like in the terminal ? [14:55] the secret of getting into grub during boot is to hold down shift [14:55] i seed a blinking _ but after that, all black, BluesKaj [14:56] and use init=/bin/bash (init/bin/sh doesn;t get you a prompt) [14:56] wookey_, depends , some situations holding the shift won't work, [14:56] Hi [14:56] BluesKaj: OK, on this machineyouhave to get the timing right otherwise BIOS runs the network boot [14:57] not to nag, but anyone? at least where i might find help? the support pages and forum has given me nothing, at least that i can find.. [14:57] I removed all mentions of nfs mounts and can now boot [14:57] Baxnie, try that, holding the shift key [14:57] Baxnie: another option boot into LiveCD and run the option "Repair broken system" (only in alternate cd); or do what xilo said; boot using LiveCD, save /home and /var/cache/apt; then do a fresh install [14:57] BluesKaj: if it works, what will happen? [14:58] youll see a grub menu [14:58] Baxnie: you will get a light blue screen with various kernel boot options [14:58] (the grub menu) [14:58] how can I know which ftp server I have ? :P === dr0id|dead is now known as newb === newb is now known as newbee [14:58] hey,so i removed pulseaudio, and now i cant start any sessions [14:58] and helpful clues about which keys to press to change things [14:58] from experience trying to upgrade a wide range of OS, upgrading just causes more headaches than it's worth [14:58] how can I know which ftp server I have ? :P [14:58] ok, i'll do it [14:59] back soon [14:59] #wuliang [14:59] wtf. not even a terminal. is that what hapens when you remove ubuntu-desktop? [14:59] xilo: upgrading Debian generally 'just works' (TM) [14:59] wookey_: except those times it doesn't ;-) [14:59] I have much less good experiences with other OSes [14:59] but it's true that if you're running debian stable and upgrade, it tends to just work. [14:59] what is the directory of ubuntu-desktop? [14:59] regeya: indeed, except those times [14:59] wookey_: well, from the amount of people that complain about upgrades going wrong... doesn't seem like it [15:00] ubuntu-desktop | gump [15:00] ive been trying to reinstall ubuntu-desktop [15:00] it wont work [15:00] im so freaking pissed right now [15:00] gump: Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop won't reinstall all packages included on it [15:00] hi all :), which kernel is using Ubuntu 10.10? [15:00] how can i see my ip adress to access my page over the internet? [15:01] ...so basically removing shitty pulseaudio nukes the entire ubuntu install? [15:01] cigan_: GET icanhazip.com [15:01] peque: 2.6.35-22 [15:01] hi there, just tried to install a printer (HP Deskjet F4280) on an ubuntu laptop, it installed, installed using an old driver, but wouldnt print, no errors, nothing.. It wont see the latest driver, im wondering if hplip is out of date, which I think it is, but how do i update just hplip? [15:01] ElNota: thanks [15:01] You're welcome [15:01] AdvoWork: Is there a package known as hpijs? [15:02] AdvoWork: Or maybe it just needs to be setup again.. [15:02] guess not.. have a nice day then.. [15:04] peque: 2.6.35 [15:04] maedox how can i access it in the console? [15:04] cigan_: what do you mean? [15:04] PULSEAUDIO MUST DIE [15:05] DIE.DIIIIEEEE I TELL YOU [15:05] anyone with experience setting xdmcp on Lucid ? [15:05] !caps | gump [15:05] gump: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [15:05] gump: Stop it pls [15:06] is it possible to open a terminal from the login menu without opening a session? [15:06] gump: switch ttys [15:06] gump: Lubuntu doesn't use it. Clean install Lubuntu and you wont have it [15:06] xilo cant [15:06] why not? [15:06] ubuntu-desktop is removed [15:06] ubuntu-desktop has nothing to do with tty's [15:06] i am trying to reinstall ubuntu-desktop [15:06] xilo explain pls? [15:07] gump: hit ctrl+alt+f1 [15:07] maedox i need to know the ip for a machine which i have ubuntu server instaladed and i dont have a browser to access the site to check the ip, how do i do it? [15:07] i...i think i love you xilo [15:07] lol [15:07] f7 is where X lives [15:07] N [15:07] gump: you can press CTTRL+ALT+F1 and get a terminal from the l ogin screen [15:07] cigan_, ping it? [15:08] can u tell how i do that? [15:08] well, i`ve tryed but the shift thing didn`t work [15:08] how come apt-get won't work from that menu ActionParsnip? [15:08] it cant connect to the interwebs [15:08] gump: you can add: text to your boot options and you will only get a command line login [15:08] how does one connect to a wireless network with command line? [15:09] cigan_, ping host [15:09] cigan_: that's the command I gave you. execute GET icanhazip.com in the console and you'll get the IP back. [15:09] gump: because network manager hasn't been configured, you can use wicd to configure wifi at cli using wicd-curses [15:09] gump: network manager needs gnome [15:09] BluesKaj: when ubuntu was starting, i heard the sound when you reach the login window, but no visual [15:09] ah sorry my lack of knowledge in ubuntu [15:09] maedox, neat. [15:09] dude, so wait... its impossible to use apt-get without gnome... [15:10] and its impossible to use gnome without ubuntu-desktop [15:10] gump: as far as I know yes [15:10] and...i dont have ubuntu desktop... [15:10] gump: no, you can install gnome, without ubuntu-desktop [15:10] gump, try aptitude [15:10] doesnt work without the internet [15:10] ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage which installs gnome [15:10] you can startup your network manually [15:10] gump: you can use apt-get without gnome and also connect to wireless in text-only mode. iwlist or something. can't remember the commands. [15:10] Baxnie, ok that probly means your graphics driver is incorrect [15:11] gump: i think apt-get and aptitude both are available (and they are not part of gnome_ [15:11] !info phpmyadmin [15:11] phpmyadmin (source: phpmyadmin): MySQL web administration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 4:3.3.7-1 (maverick), package size 4240 kB, installed size 17316 kB [15:11] gump: they are part of the basic debian system (CLI) [15:11] BluesKaj: but how can it be possible [15:12] BluesKaj? it was working perfectly before upgrade [15:12] ok,so pulseaudio removed ubuntu-desktop. i am disconnected from the internet in the terminal. how do i reinstall ubuntu-desktop from here? [15:12] gump: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... it might be cached. [15:13] i tried [15:13] no go [15:13] gump: if not you must figure out a way to get an internet connection or download the needed packages on another computer [15:13] gump: cd/dvd perhaps ? [15:13] i booted from a livecd [15:13] cigan_: ifconfig from Term will also show your adapter interfaces and supporting info. [15:13] wouldnt let me install ubuntudesktop to the existing install [15:14] Folks, I'm having problem installing nvidia driver. I've followed this post http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html Then go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and make sure "Nvidia current" is activated. How to to this in xubuntu? Thx [15:14] gump: you have to mount --bind sys, dev and proc and then chroot to the old install before trying to reinstall there. [15:14] gump: you can remove ubuntu-desktop, its a metapackage and holds zero data, it only makes the OS install a tone of other packages and makes instaling the OS easier [15:14] Baxnie, that's the unfortunate consequence of some upgrades , not all graphics cards have the right kernel source driver, what's your graphics card ? [15:14] herro? [15:15] ActionParsnip: I'm betting he removed more than just that meta-package. [15:15] I am trying to do a net install. I set up a mirror of lenny using apt-mirror. When I do an http install, and point the installer to the address, I get the following error message: choose-mirror[3885]: WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (lenny) [15:15] ok....so i removed pulseaudio and now i cant log in. what else could have happened? [15:15] can anyone help? [15:15] maedox: possibly [15:15] BluesKaj: nvidia 8400 gs [15:15] its working great with the ubuntu from CD [15:15] gump: reinstall the whole shebang and don't do whatever you did again :) [15:15] i`m using the `try without installing` [15:15] Anyone? Just that last action I don't know how to accomplish :/ [15:15] i really REALLY do not want to do another reinstall [15:15] under what category is phpmyadmin in packages.ubuntu.com? [15:16] gump: if you add the CD as a repo you can install the packages you need (gdm being most likely) [15:16] ActionParsnip, how to add cd as repo? [15:16] gump: you need to boot into your normal hard disk installation (CLI), then load the LiveCD; then unpack the iso, followed by unpacking the squashfs image, the you can access the /var/cache/apt folder of the cd, then you can install the packages from it that you want === saftsack__ is now known as saftsack [15:16] under what category is phpmyadmin in packages.ubuntu.com? [15:17] gump: what exactly did you do? apt-get remove pulseaudio makes apt-get state the following: The following packages will be REMOVED: indicator-sound libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-x11 ubuntu-desktop which shouldn't be critical. [15:17] where am I? :) [15:17] gump: run: sudo /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment the top line which add the CD save the new file and run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdm [15:17] tomasz_: in poland apparently [15:17] maedox, i removed those, but pulseaudio wouldnt stop loading, so i went in and removed the config files of pulseaudio [15:17] i would say if you don't want pulse, don't use ubuntu [15:18] Baxnie, I had the same card in my older pc and swapped into my newer media server pc and it works fine with the 260.19.06 nvidia driver [15:18] and it uninstalled a bunch of packages and now im here [15:18] ok... I am testing this program [15:18] gump: install arch [15:18] arch? [15:18] arch-linux [15:18] arch-linux is freaking awesome...if you're into that sort of thing :-D [15:18] gump: lubuntu doesn't use pulse either [15:19] Baxnie, the 8400gs didn't work very well in my 5yr old pc with maverick [15:19] i never uninstall stuff. :) [15:19] yeah arch is nice, but it requires a bit more setting up [15:19] \join #praha [15:19] BluesKaj: is there a way to install ubuntu overwriting the old one [15:19] marcb: try a / [15:19] Baxnie: you can tell the installer to reformat the hd's that would overwite the old one [15:20] haha, great, it worked! :P [15:20] \ -> windows habbits. :) [15:20] Dr_Willins? i mean, replace files [15:20] i dont wanna lose my packages and installed programs [15:21] Baxnie: the install will want to reformat /, . make a list of what you have installed.. and reinstall them... [15:21] !clone | Baxnie [15:21] Baxnie: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:21] I use that clone trick on new installs all the time. [15:21] I downloaded the latest fuse source (as an experiment) and tried to compile the fuse kernel module... but when I did the 'make' I didn't get the fuse.ko file... anyone know why? [15:21] neil_d: you did not get any error either? [15:22] mplayer keeps on acting a bit weird and making two process, which stops it from playing correctly. If i run top i can see two are running, is there a way to stop it from creating two processes? [15:22] Dr_Willis: i`ve the virtualbox hd and many heaby things to store, i cant just copy and paste to a pendrive [15:22] Baxnie: you CAN use custom partitioning, mark the partition to be used as what its currently used for now but DONT mark it for formatting. You'll probably get an unstable OS but it can be done [15:22] Baxnie: you can also backup all your packages (/var/cache/apt/archives), but the new system may require newer version of the packages === sniperjo____ is now known as sniperjo [15:22] erUSUL: not that I saw.. everything looked fine. [15:23] Baxnie: if using vbox. You could make a new vbox session, install the new ubuntu to that.. then access youir old vbox setup as a different HD and copy stuff over. or use both... [15:23] Baxnie: or you could set up vbox to dual boot both. :) [15:23] no no [15:23] i`ve windows on vbox, but there are important data there [15:23] Hallo, ich hab gestern mein System auf Ubuntu 10.10 upgedatet. Nun startet mein Netbook N130 nur noch im Textmodus. Ich habe auch schon versucht meinen xserver neuzustarten. Mit dem Befehl sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Hat leider nichts gebracht. Kann mir vielleicht jemand weiterhelfen? [15:23] oh sorry [15:23] Hi, I yesterday updated my system to Ubuntu 10.10. Now my N130 netbook starts only in text mode. I have also tried to reboot my xserver. With the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has unfortunately achieved nothing. Maybe someone can help me? [15:23] neil_d: then i dunno; hard to know when it fails silently [15:24] If its impornt.. then you shoudl back it up.. a Hard drive can (and has) DIE at any time. [15:24] Baxnie: then it will be backed up [15:24] coldjack: reformat and install fresh [15:24] If you had /home/ as a seperate partition - you could of left it on there also. [15:24] well, i will install them side to side [15:24] Baxnie: no backup == data is disposable and not important [15:24] thanks for your help [15:24] xilo: No i don't want this [15:24] 2TB usb hard drives. down to the $100 range i think. :) [15:24] coldjack: does « sudo startx » or « sudo service gdm start » work? [15:25] coldjack: it would be easier than trying to solve the problem [15:25] coldjack: read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:25] Permissions question - when I delete a file in my home dir, it moves it to trash. I have a share under root "/share" that I own with RWX perms. Inside, when I delete something, it wants to delete immediately instead of moving to trash. Just curious, what's different from my home directory to /share if I own both with RWX permissions? [15:25] Dr_Willis: exactly, yet people stil don't backup their "important" data.... [15:26] sudo start x: unable to connect to xserver [15:26] i personally keep my entire /home directory in a github repo [15:26] ActionParsnip: They do... after a disk crash :D [15:26] maedox: yeah they love learning the hard way [15:26] install fresh, pull repo, install programs... pretty hassle free [15:26] I want to install an earlier version of phpmyadmin. I created /etc/apt/preferences.d/phpmyadmin and put in Package: phpmyadmin / Pin: release a=karmic / Pin-Priority: 991, did an update but I still can't get it. any thoughts? [15:26] sudo server gdm start . Job is already running: gdm [15:27] coldjack: read the file I said, it will say why the x server can't start.

[15:37] mkanyicy, Thrash? or trash??

[15:41] Roasted, you can try deleting a file from another filesystem/partition and then unmount that partition and then go to Trash and try to delete that file permanently. That will not happen. [15:43] Anyone could help me please with my hibernate related problem? [15:43] which public key is safer between RSA or DSA? === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest97237 [15:44] Believe it was RSA or could have been DSA, but one of those is saver then other. [15:44] mkanyicy, that's what it is. [15:44] mkanyicy, it's due to different partitions. [15:45] mkanyicy, 10.10 on virtualbox (root/home on 1 partition) I can delete stuff from root that I own (I mimiced the EXACT same share on root known as /share with me having RWX perms) and deleted an item inside - went to "trash" [15:45] mkanyicy, yet on my native install of ubuntu (10.04, but I doubt it makes a diff) root and home split partitions and it asks me if I want to permanently delete. that must be why. [15:46] Folks, what would be terminal command to call HArdware drivers, I need to install nvidia hardware drivers but can't call it otherwise [15:46] rickh: depends if you are encrypting or just signing [15:46] anyone could explain why can't i ssh my server from some other box, but locally works... [15:46] Xaifas: probably router issues === Jacob_ is now known as Guest27873 [15:47] by local, do you mean separate computer on network? [15:47] I mean user@localhost from same computer [15:47] do you have another computer on network to test [15:48] I'm afraid not [15:49] are you behind a router [15:49] yes [15:49] Xaifas: can you ping the server? [15:49] Xaifas: you need to forward ports then [15:50] ping works [15:50] Xaifas: if its behind a router you will need to port forward as the router will block the traffic as a hack attempt [15:50] Xaifas: maybe port forwarding on the router can help. forward ports used by ssh to the server [15:50] I am experiencing problems with xhci_hcd preventing suspend (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998), so I've added SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci_hcd" to /etc/pm/config.d/10_brokenusb3. This fixes suspend problem, but the problem with hibernating remains. I can fix it manually by `modprobe -r xhci_hcd` before issuing `pm-hibernate`. Doesn't pm-hibernate take into consideration SUSPEND_MODULES? :( Please help me! [15:50] Hiho [15:50] Xaifas: you can then ssh to the routers wan IP and the data will be pushed where you say [15:50] Hello! I need help with my sound, can't seem to get it right: I followd the ubuntu guide to get it working, and it's reporting no errors: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2e70fb9c093a726e673074829dffb4c5265a6056 [15:51] hmm, allright. I will try and find some tutorials/documentation on that matter. Thanks [15:51] Xaifas: what router do you have? [15:51] someone knows why the var/WWW doesn't appear when I mount the partition from another UBUNTU system on the same disk ? [15:52] Xaifas: i suggest you set the server to a static IP so that if it's address changes when the DHCP license fails you wont sever the link [15:52] some thomson modle not sure exactly [15:52] model* [15:53] ActionParsnip: that's not too likely to happen unless you rarely turn on your pc [15:54] xilo: it can so a static IP helps lots, plus the PC may get turned off (as you say) and get a different IP which will require further attention [15:55] hello, can anyone help me sort out how to connect to my work VPN? no matter what, it just keeps failing!

I used chrome and it'didnt work. AFAIK open(slow)office is the same. -- tired of printing extra pages. 10.04 [15:56] I missed it ones, when trying to save it for installing real ubuntu but not wubi [15:56] , duffy [15:56] Hi, I'll be grateful for any help! [15:56] markitoxs: what VPN technology does your work use? [15:56] ActionParsnip, plain old PPTP [15:56] wubi is dangerous! [15:56] I lost all my home once [15:56] I had to kill my ubuntu hard with power switch [15:57] then wubi couldn't close file on windows :-D [15:57] the lesson was no home anymore [15:57] andi, just came in this am but there was one suprise to me about wubi (a negative one). What happened? -- You _must_ boot from that drive into the wubi-ubuntu to access you files. That's the "only way". [15:58] andi_, so it may look like you lost your home when in reality it is still there. [15:58] yes I know tripel - but all partition is a file on windows file system. Once the file isn't on windows partition there is no home [15:58] andi_: you wouldnt have lost it if you'd had a backup regime [15:58] yes Action [15:58] Unhide tells me '1 Hidden process found' on fresh installed "Ubuntu 10.10" [15:58] thats so true! [15:58] How can I get a spellcheck into gedit? OO takes "f o re ver" [15:59] Unhide-linux26 new version [15:59] andi_: so you lost your own data by not having a backup so its your own fault [15:59] mono what's unhide? I want to try it. [15:59] the wubi partition file hasn't gone anywhere. it's just corrupted in the ntfs records. that can be fixed, probably pretty easily. ask in #windows [15:59] @tripleb: synaptic -> unhide [16:00] scans for hidden processes [16:00] ActionParsnip takes the hard road. - I dont think that what andi_ said was about escaping blame but was sharing his situation. Leading to my comment to him which may have helped somone. [16:00] hey [16:00] any idea, where the hidden process comes from? [16:00] anyone use the sympy? [16:00] i'm having some troubles since the 10.10 updates i did yesterday [16:01] how do i access my local site in the internet? call the ip machine on the browser? [16:01] when booting, I get no error but a grub prompt [16:01] mono: Kernel threads? [16:01] cigan_: yes [16:01] cigan_: http://localhost [16:01] ActionParsnip, though I ha e no idea what he meant by his last statement unless he erased the partition. That wouldnt be a danger of wubi but a danger of forgetting general computer stuff. [16:01] and I have to specify myself the "root (hd0,1)" and "linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1" [16:01] Pici: really dont know [16:01] cigan_: port forward port 80 TCP to the host running the web service [16:01] even if they're correct in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg [16:01] what should I do? [16:02] victim od mim-attack? [16:02] How can I get a spellcheck into gedit? Can I get a spellcheck in gedit? Has anyone else ever wanted this? [16:02] cigan_: it has to be public access though, so check your public ip on the google and that would be you ip to access from the internet [16:02] I want to be able to do "print selection" specifically for printing a web page.

Previously I thought that Ubuntu didnt like it (It was not on the list of "liked" webcams. I couldnt get it with Ekiga on 9.04) but recently I was on a webpage that drew a picture that kept changing and reacted to your webcam and darn if it didnt react to my webcam. Ah ha. There may be life. What do I have? Logitech - QuickCam® for Notebooks M/N: V-US20 [16:02] tripelb: its there now [16:02] (three count-en 3 questions going, all from different days.

[16:04] ActionParsnip, OIC. Can I get a red-wiggly-underline type of spellcheck on gedit? [16:04] markitoxs: network manager can manage VPN, if it uses Cisco then you will need the Cisco client [16:04] Folks, I've installed nvidia drivers with jockey-gtk but I don't have opengl support, glxgears wont start not glxinfo. What to do? [16:04] ActionParsnip, I saw it in tools, the fool I am I didnt look. Cool. [16:04] tripelb: no idea, i dont use gedit ever [16:05] ActionParsnip, network manager seems to be broken, my vpn does not use cisco, its from a windows sbs [16:05] cigan_: You have to forward port 80 from router to port 80 on you local machine [16:05] markitoxs: thats all I got then [16:05] no worries [16:05] tripelb: could submit it as a feaure request in http://answers.ubuntu.com [16:05] ActionParsnip, what do you use please? So far I use gedit almost exclusively. OO is "too much". Is there something you might suggest to me? [16:05] ooops [16:06] tripelb: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [16:06] :) AP [16:06] unhide-linux26 sys: one hidden process.... I want to 1) Know what process it is 2) delete it, if trash [16:06] Does anybody know what the most usable flavor of linux is for an i486sx with 8MB ram and only floppy (EZ-DRIVE only supports floppy booting and it is imperative that EZ-DRIVE stays)? [16:06] anybody knows any good hotspot billing system to be used? [16:06] I'll look at answers. [16:06] too [16:06] ireez: try chillispot [16:06] ireez: Mikrotik, check there [16:06] StarRtjill how do i do that, im not familiar with that?

There may be life. What do I have? Logitech - QuickCam® for Notebooks M/N: V-US20 [16:07] ok thanks all... mikrotik is a bit complicated i think. [16:07] where are the experts? ;) [16:07] Pentium3: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros [16:07] cigan_: Well, it depends of your router make. But basically, there is firewall on your router, it should be option forwarding or something. I think you will have to download manual for you router and read it [16:08] but hold on... i mean billing, not only just managing. so can mikrotik acctually handle the billing too? [16:08] tripelb: if you run: lsusb one line will identify the chip, websearch for the 8 character hex id to find guides [16:08] sir, how to active video call on pidgin ? [16:08] ireez: There is a package for that, hold on [16:08] Pentium3: tinycore and xpud are sweeeeet [16:08] ActionParsnip: thanks. [16:09] Pentium3: xpud boots in 3 seconds here [16:09] ActionParsnip, I'll do that (and as usual copy your guide into my notes. -- What do you use for text stuff?

[16:10] Does anyone know if you can use a Ubuntu Netbook Remix (10.4) install disk to install regular non-Netbook Ubuntu (on a non-netbook)? [16:10] ireez: yes, check demo at bottom of the page, you may login to see how it actually looks [16:10] AP that's a useful tool. (puts on list to learn shell commands.) [16:10] hi ppl [16:11] Pentium3: looks like tinycore wont boot with less than 48mb ram [16:11] StaRetji1: ok hang on... [16:11] Pentium3: possibly puppy linux [16:12] hi! [16:12] Pentium3: ok puppy needs 128Mb [16:12] does someone knows how can I know exactly which kernel extension is being used for sound output? [16:12] ActionParsnip: my problem with puppy is that anything that boots from CD wipes EZ-DRIVE, which must be there because the 486 can only "see" 940MB of 6GB.. [16:12] Is netbook ubuntu significantly different than non-netbook ubuntu? Are they similar enough that I could just install netbook remix on a regular box and just use gnome session and it would be the same? [16:12] i have an older version of ubuntu that is not working with a determined audio chipset [16:12] hi... i installed newest nvidia drivers from a ppa but i want to reinstall the old drivers from official repo. how to roll back the update? [16:13] and I really need to put audio in that old version [16:13] I"d appreciate info, this is for a work computer, all i have is a netbook remix installer. [16:13] romulusnr: its a different UI and window manager, the rest is identical [16:13] ActionParsnip, that's like piico, nano is. I see. I have a mild preference to be in a gooey mess. [16:13] where do i set environment variables to be exported into applations run from inside X? [16:13] pico [16:14] AP: Thats what I hoped. THank you.

[16:52] DR_Fun1, I have done this many times. It's on some web page somewhere. It involved going into grub (an escape key as you start) and getting into a rootshell that way. At that point you do something or other to see all the account names. Then you can reset the password to the account you want. ---- Best of luck findig the details.

[16:53] hey there, this has been bothering me because everywhere i look I find different answers...what is the max amnt of RAM linux can support with a 32 bit kernel? [16:53] i know with windows systems 4 GB is the max b/c of PAE [16:53] but is that the case with linux as well? [16:54] sosaited: GNOME uses the GIMPnet IRC servers [16:54] lock: 32 bit kernel PAE enabled 64 GB [16:54] !help [16:54] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:54] no PAE 4GB [16:54] but... [16:54] even while running linux? [16:54] even if you have PAE, the apps will only see 4 GB because of address space [16:54] mneptok, Thanks Got to nautilus [16:55] so, in effect, they can only utilize the 4 gb [16:55] ? [16:56] more or less, there is a concept called virtual memory.. it allows the applications to *see* the address space as if it were running alone on the device [16:56] so, every application can see only 4GB of RAM [16:56] Hello dear Ubuntu mates. [16:56] I have just one question to ask. [16:56] hmmm [16:56] but, the system will have more ram to manage all apps *(if PAE is enabled)* [16:56] Maybe it will be a little dumb. [16:56] have any one herd of lightirc the flash app? [16:57] so really, there wouldnt be a point in having any more than 4 gb in a 32 bit system even with PAE enabled [16:57] ?? [16:57] lock, no, it is very usefull [16:57] or are you saying that each individual app can only see 4 gb [16:57] On which partition Ubuntu installs applications? [16:57] lock, if you are going to run multiple apps [16:57] lock, yes each individual app can only see 4 gb [16:58] lock, however i would suggest going 64 bits [16:58] And can I specify the partition where I want mine applications to be installed? [16:58] so if you had 16 apps running, theoretically, they could each use 4 gb to themselves [16:58] anyone have an idea of the base packages that are needed to run the ubuntu installer? I want to create a livecd that just runs the installer and has nothing much else [16:58] ...interesting [16:58] thanks for your explanation [16:59] lock, np [17:00] apparently no one is on in #nautilus in gimp...

[17:01] <_L30_> a quick question are the window buttons oriented to the left as the 10.04 even in 10.10 ?

[17:45] mc, ask [17:46] ok Abhijit [17:46] thanks [17:46] kbrosnan: infact firefox -no-remote --display=:0 >/dev/null works over ssh, but when i use a telnet session which pipes to a local script, it doesnt work [17:46] I have a valid reason to install a keylogger to my daughter's lap [17:46] no soap boss. it spits back an error [17:46] I did install lkl [17:46] mc- that's messed up [17:47] hi everyone [17:47] Dr_Willis: i tried to start a terminal using Ctr+Alt+F1, but it did not work (infact no keys work; not even Caps Lock). [17:47] mc: seconded [17:47] several times and, from different accounts and it doesn't log anything [17:47] Good you shouldn't be doing that [17:47] Dr_Willis:So I re-booted and started again in the recovery mode with low graphics mode. And it worked. apparently, my laptop cannot support the normal level of graphics required by gnome [17:47] I know, but as a father I got valid reasons [17:47] Dr_Willis:So how do i make this my default configuration so that i do not have to go into recovery mode everytime to set low graphics mode. [17:47] she's only 16 [17:47] mc- why don't you just talk to her [17:48] I've tried. she won't just tell me the truth [17:48] kbrosnan: any ideas ? [17:48] mc, Was this lkl program installed from Ubuntu repositories? [17:48] um. I am a blind user and clicking with a mouse is not possible for me [17:48] mc, If it was Windows. I would have shared a custom one I made for my own system because of power failures and losing long mail replies or forum posts [17:48] is linuxmint same with ubuntu [17:49] Dr_Willis: I re-booted and started again in the recovery mode with low graphics mode. And it worked. apparently, my laptop cannot support the normal level of graphics required by gnome [17:49] Gee, I don't even remember. I use the root and other admin acc. Her account is desktop user [17:49] sniperjo: well fine, but still that's a huge breach of trust, and no matter what useful info you gain it will all be null and void considering the means in which you gained it [17:49] mc, Google is your friend [17:49] linuxBie, linuxmint is developed from ubuntu [17:49] Dr_Willis: So how do i make this my default configuration so that i do not have to go into recovery mode everytime to set low graphics mode. [17:49] root__: dont think you meant to send that to me ... [17:49] basically is the same right? [17:49] linuxBie, depends, some versions of mint are based on debian this days [17:49] sniperjo: oops [17:49] ic [17:49] mc, If it isn't in the Ubuntu repositories, you need to go to wherever you got it for support. [17:49] mc that went to you haha :P [17:49] root__: meet mc [17:50] linuxBie, yes, but linux mint includes many codecs and players etc [17:50] it's easy to dual boot ubuntun and window 7? [17:50] by defualt [17:50] Anybody else disapointed that PROP 19 faild to pass? [17:50] well I don't remember where I got it. thing is it wont log or mail anything to me [17:50] linuxBie, yes easy to dual boot [17:50] linuxBie, yes, its easy to dual boot ubuntu and windows7 [17:51] thanks ranyan how bout with linuxmint it's the same? [17:51] hello sniperjo [17:51] Anyone know why all my audio works except in kdenlive? [17:51] where's jifla? [17:51] evenin' all [17:51] yes linux mint can dualboot easily with seven as ubuntu can linuxb [17:51] linuxBie, yes, you can dualboot almost any linux distro with any windows [17:51] i mean linuxBie [17:52] where i live there's only two guys who know Ubuntu. And none of the could figure it out [17:52] linuxBie, but, be carefull that if its the laptop and if it contains any recovery partition in the first sectors then sometimes distros like fedora shows some problem [17:52] mc: http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/ === pavi is now known as pavi_away_home [17:53] linuxBie, but as far as ubuntu variants is concerned dont worry [17:53] thx root. I'll check [17:53] ranjan i want to use telnet to access my bot i can do it successfully with ssh how come i cannot do it with telnet anything i can do to make it work [17:53] My laptop does not start unless I start in recovery mode with low graphics. Anyway I can make this configuration my default so I do not have to boot into recovery mode everytime to set my system to low graphics mode? [17:53] may box [17:53] I have ubuntu 10.04 installed (from the alternate cd) [17:54] linuxBie, i didnt understand [17:54] Does anybody know how I can use a personal local calendar in Evolution and have the option to synchronize it to Google Calendar? I do NOT want to use my ACTUAL google calendar on Evolution as a live copy. I just want a synchronize option. [17:54] Roasted: You... want a calencer repo? [17:54] linuxBie, telnet is insecure and never try to use that [17:55] linuxBie, its best to use ssh for secure transactions [17:55] i can access my box using ssh but i cannot access my box via telnet do i have to edit my telnet.conf which file do i have to edit [17:55] Rabbitbunny, I'm using evolution, which has calendars integrated. I just dont like using google calendar as a live copy because it's slow on evolution. What I would like is to have the option to synchronize my local calendar to google calendar. [17:55] i installed eggdrop bot i dont know how to access it via ssh [17:55] In ubuntu 10.10 desktop im trying to use "remote desktop" and I allow users to both view and control the session, but I cant find anything listen on port 5900 (checking with netstat -an) and the remote desktop windows says "Others can access your computer using the address 'localhost'", which is ofc. bullshit.. Its a fresh install, so what am I missing? [17:55] linuxBie, which is the os installed in the linux box? [17:55] Roasted: Everything is slow on evolution. [17:56] windo7 [17:56] Rabbitbunny, how about thunderbird? Do you know how I could do that same thing in evolution? [17:56] linuxBie, you dont know how to access egdrop from win7 box, is that the question? [17:57] hello, can anyone help me fix glibc compile error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ [17:57] Roasted: No, I was just interested in your concept of local copies of calencers, that's kind of exactly what they're not meant for. [17:57] i cannot view my website that i created using my ip address do i have to do something about it [17:57] Rabbitbunny, local calendars on evolution are wicked fast. google calendars on evolution are very slow. So I thought what if I could use a local calendar and sync it to google whenever I choose? That way I wasnt running on google's ACTUAL calendar but I would just sync to it when I choose. [17:57] What's the difference between /bin/bash and /bin/sh? [17:58] linuxBie, actually whats your doubt be specific [17:58] ok, I got growl to work with this [17:58] hi guys is there a way to make a zero fill using dd cmd? [17:58] /bin/bash is the BASH (Bourne Again SHell). /bin/sh is usually a standard Bourne shell - bash is like sh with more features. [17:59] ks3: /bin/sh is linked to dash on Ubuntu. [17:59] ncurses if=/dev/zero [17:59] hm [17:59] 1 issue with my webpage i cannot use my ip address if i want to view my webpage any reconmmendation ranjan [17:59] ks3, Pici yeah same thing this days [17:59] ncurses, dd if=/dev/zero of= bs= [17:59] linuxBie, fix your router to forward port 80 to your server box [18:00] linuxBie, you didnt specify the webserver, the os in which the webserver is installed etc [18:00] linux ubuntu the server is installed [18:00] ranjan, can i make use of this dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda?

[18:02] evelyette_: what service? [18:02] slapd [18:02] evelyette: i think cron should be able to do it [18:02] !opendns [18:02] To set up OpenDNS in Ubuntu, see https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu [18:02] Does anybody know how I can use a personal local calendar in Evolution and have the option to synchronize it to Google Calendar? I do NOT want to use my ACTUAL google calendar on Evolution as a live copy. I just want a synchronize option. [18:02] evelyette_: what about adding to the appropriate /etc/rd.d/ folder? [18:03] hi... i just got a netbook and would like to install the netbook edition of ubuntu on it, but it doesnt have a CD drive and I dont have a USB drive...is there some other way? Or do I need to buy a usb drive just for this? [18:03] rc.d excuse me [18:03] ranjan, can i use the live cd to do this? i tried to use the 10.10 live disc, choose install and after the partition i switched to CLI and issued dd... is that gonna work the same thing? [18:03] root__, isn't there a command that does that ? [18:03] rigved, first navigate to the external harddisk then use the mount command [18:03] evelyette_, update-rc.d [18:03] thats it. I can't handle 5 overlapping voices at once. [18:03] i hate my isp company they dont reverse your ip ranjan === stephanie is now known as Guest92771 [18:03] ks3- nice [18:04] ncurses, yes ofcourse [18:04] ranjan: sudo mount -t iso /media/DATA/Programs/Ubuntu Installation/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso tmp [18:04] ks3, thank you [18:04] ranjan: is this correct?

[18:06] rigved, hope that works [18:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ Can anyone please help me out in fixing compile bug - glibc-2.12.1? [18:07] ahtmly2k: I usually go to google to find which driver things need. You might find if you come right up to date they are more supported now. [18:07] anyone? [18:07] can anyone tell me why 'sudo start $process' might hang? [18:07] is it safe to use this blkid ? [18:07] sudo blkid /dev/sdb1 [18:07] /dev/sdb1: LABEL="Data" UUID="5E1A8F1E1A8EF1F7" TYPE="ntfs" [18:07] ranjan: nope, not working [18:07] rigved, what is the error coming?

[18:08] as root [18:08] rigved, is the "tmp" you sepcified in the present directory where you are in? [18:09] rigved, that might be the problem [18:09] grendal_prime, Probably permission settings on the NFS server [18:09] ranjan: no error; it just prints something like a man page for mount [18:09] yeah but i dont know what's wrong everything looks fine on the sound properties.. and everything was going just fine on 9.04.. now it suddenly just stopped working.. but there no error messages.. everythings okay on paper but still no sound..

[18:10] ranjan: i'll do that [18:10] they still have some bugs on ubuntu i guesss [18:10] some apps not working when u upgrade it [18:10] if tmp is in the current working directory no need to give the full path [18:10] ahtmly2k: try alsamixer in a terminal its a good place to start, sorry I dont have much time right now to go further [18:10] ahtmly2k, any special reason to use outdated karmic? [18:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ Can anyone please help me out in fixing compile bug - glibc-2.12.1? [18:10] rigved, goto http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:12] ranjan: here you go - http://paste.ubuntu.com/525206/ [18:12] is there a good command line to wipe out 'social from start' type of software? [18:12] rigved, try to remove the -t iso option [18:13] grendal_prime, Does it work as a normal user? They may have the the rootsquash option, which would make your local account appear as an anonymous account on the server side. [18:13] tried alsamixer.. nuttin wrong there.. well since i cant upgrade straight from 9.04 to 10.10.. i'm doing it step by step.. and i just to 9.10 aka karmic.. i'm in the process of upgrading to 10.04 right now.. still "Getting New Packages".. [18:13] like empathy & friends [18:13] ranjan: not working, still the same error [18:13] Hi, looking for a truecrypt user? Need to find out how to do automated backups as copying the file directly does not move the data inside my container. [18:14] ahtmly2k, well, thats very optimistic, good luck [18:14] rigved, did you try it using the gui ? is the iso ok? [18:14] hello, i need help configuring entry in /etc/fstab for CD-ROM [18:14] i dont enjoy upgrading.. i got a slow-ass connection.. running @ 110kbps at fastest.. could go down to 30kbps.. really unstable.. === fc is now known as Guest80791 [18:14] thank ranjan [18:15] ranjan: how do i do that. should i use some gui software for mounting the iso? [18:15] right.. cheers.. [18:15] brontoeee: you may want to start from minimal install - no nothing [18:15] rigved, which version of ubuntu are you using? [18:15] galusr, If you copy the encrypted volume while it's not in use, you should be able to mount the backup and see all your data as of the time of the backup. [18:15] ranjan: ubuntu 10.04 (installed from alternate cd) on my compaq laptop [18:16] shcherbak, so there is no metapack. of some sort here? (that was the question) [18:16] ks3: Hmmm that doesn't seem to work. When I try mounting the backup it's empty! [18:16] rigved, ok then just right click and open with archive mounter [18:16] Hi. Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. Have server connected via HDMI to monitor. Installation was no prob, but on boot, it doesn't seem to output console to HDMI. I can only SSH in to see that the boot went fine. Don't want X. How to output to HDMI? [18:17] or just double click it, and it will open with archive manager [18:17] brontoeee: what do you want to get rid of? [18:18] ranjan: now i feel stupid. thanx for your help. but it would have been nice to do it from the CLI (i'll google it later) :) [18:18] ChogyDan, whatever has any type of connection with social networks, email clients, things that can make me buy music, ect [18:19] rigved, thats ok man, but the procedure for cli is the same [18:19] ChogyDan, all kind of 'chats' [18:19] rigved, are you from india? [18:19] Do anyone know a way to benchmark boot time to login screen? bootchart measures way too long after login (until idle, but desktop is usable directly at logon). [18:19] ranjan: yes [18:19] hi guys. how can verify if zero fill-in in ubuntu was successful? [18:19] brontoeee: just a guess, but that might include gwibber, thunderbird, evolution, ubuntuone, and empathy. BUT, be careful about remove evolution [18:19] rigved, oh great. [18:20] rigved, can you come private? [18:20] ChogyDan, why carefull with evolution? [18:20] ranjan: weird way to ask :P [18:21] rigved, :) [18:21] good day everyone, is it possible to get things so that ubuntu dont ask so much after passwords all the time ? [18:21] *for [18:22] hello i need help with a xpress 1100 and advanced effect [18:22] get a little tired of always having to type password for each little thing i want to do [18:22] can somebody help [18:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ Can anyone please help me out in fixing compile bug - glibc-2.12.1? [18:22] Kriss-|-: once i get my system configured.. i rarely need to do that. [18:23] brontoeee: ive heard it is integrated in weird ways [18:23] Kriss, you could create a password for root, with: sudo passwd root and then after "su" to being the root user you wouldn't need to type sudo in front of everything. Is that the situation you want to prevent? [18:23] im not "used" to linux, so it seems like endless configuration to me [18:23] Kriss-|-: you can edit the 'sudoers' file to allow many commands to not need the password. but thats a bit of a sccurity issue. [18:23] Kriss, if you also want to login without entering a password, see: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/enable-automatic-login-in-ubuntu-kubuntu/ [18:23] ChogyDan, ok then, i guess it must be the time for to search for some other distro for this 'project' [18:23] Kriss-|-: after the first day.. mine is pretty much confifgured how i want. :) other then installing/updateing packages. i rarely need root. [18:24] and you can set sudoers to allow those with no pass. [18:24] how do I move folders exactly? just mv tells me "directory not empty" mv -R or -r tells me invalid option [18:24] :| [18:24] what i wonder is, is it possible to configure the wallet, or something else where we could add "never ask for password again in this" [18:24] Wise_: check out some command line tutorials. an hr spent reading one will cover all the basics. ersonally i tend to cheat and use 'mc' at the terminal most of the time. :) [18:25] to me it would be the equal of having norton or selinux [18:25] can anyone help me fix glibc compile error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ [18:25] constant annoyance [18:25] Kriss-|-: the keyring - is different from the sudo system. You can set the keyring to not ask for an initial password to unlock. [18:25] Hi! Can I create an IP network between two computers using an USB cable? [18:25] Kriss-|-: the biggest 'danger' i see in here to ubuntu systems. are users accidently doing things as root when they shouldent be. [18:26] it would be acceptable risk, (not having that annoyance) [18:26] its just like norton, it would be better getting any virus than having it [18:26] piero using FireWire, but USB, not sure [18:27] hmm [18:28] I just have an USB port.. my second machine is a cellphone and I have not wireless/bluetooth [18:29] Also, I previously had a very minimal (no X) Debian Squeeze installation that output to HDMI automatically after install, but Ubuntu Server 10.04 seems to need some further configuration to get it to do so. What files should I even be looking at? There is no xorg.conf. [18:29] piero does this cellphone has WiFi? [18:29] Wise_: come again? [18:30] piero do you want to access a memory/memory card? [18:30] zaxonspox, no.. I want to connect the cellphone to the internet by the usb cable. [18:31] I created an usb net interface on the cell, but I cant do it on my ubuntu, since net interface usb0 doesn't exist. [18:31] piero Internet in Cellphone, or Cellphone as Internet modem?

(That was FAST) [18:43] servus [18:43] sorry to ask again, what is bot.. [18:43] * igitur1 kills myself [18:43] erUSUL: So chkconfig is old news? It still does show cron as being off after your command. Will cron run automatically on system startup from now on? [18:44] learner: is a program that responds to commands here in the channel [18:44] erUSUL: Sorry, shows cron as being off with chkconfig [18:44] galusr: check /etc/init/cron.conf [18:44] learner, bot is short for robot [18:44] hello, i need help configuring entry in /etc/fstab for CD-ROM [18:44] Dr_Willis: But I want something that will create in Windows 7 [18:45] zaxonspox: normally these days one dosent have an entry in fstab for cdrom.

When I seek a video I hear crackles [18:46] galusr: then yes should run on system boot up [18:46] zaxonspox: none of my 10,10 systems have an entry for cdrom. Guess you can ad one if you wanted to. tell the channel the entry you are using and what the issues are. [18:46] I have no problems with VLC [18:46] euthymos, use mplayer [18:46] hey guys i need to send message from my linux box to window box, ho can I?? [18:46] ;-) [18:47] psiklops: does it have a gui? [18:47] learner: what sort of message... [18:47] euthymos, yes [18:47] learner, what kind of message? [18:47] i installed 'Broadcom STA wireless driver' from jockey-gtk but get 'bad password' when trying to connect to a wireless network. Mavrick on Macbook 5,1. (it used to work) [18:47] euthymos, apt-cache search mplayer [18:47] A have a question regarding Xorg and XFree86. Can an app build on XFree86 works on Xorg? [18:47] anyone seen it where I was plugged into the LAN with eth0, then I connected to it wirelessly with wlan0 [18:47] Dr_Willis, i have problems with Wine, aoutmounted is without execution ability, which i need === NG_ is now known as ng_ [18:47] but while on wireless, I cannot get anywhere [18:47] hi [18:47] is there a way to force stereo output to also send data to the subwoofer? (like mono is forced to stereo) [18:47] brontoeee, like kinda we do in windows, sat net send [18:47] it get's an IP, same as on wired [18:48] and the wifi works for all other laptops, just not mine [18:48] psiklops: thanks. Are you too getting problems with totem? [18:48] any idea how to fix a wireless issue with broadcom BCM4322? [18:48] I have logged in with my registered account but #hardware still doesn't let me in, it says I have to be invited [18:48] zaxonspox: personally for wine. I just right click on the exze's and use 'launch in wine' or run them from the command line.. 'wine /media/cdrom/autostat.exe' [18:48] learner: prob could get it to work with a little looking around - but if you open net send you problably will get tons of unwanted add messages [18:48] erUSUL: 2345 - Finding it hard to find exactly what these numbers mean. There are 6 levels of running on startup or so isn't it? [18:48] though I've seen this do it in windows too, I connect to the 802.11g and it won't go, but when I connect 802.11a it does [18:48] I need a little help with NTP. I am trying to get my ubuntu box to sync with my Windows domain controller. (I have also tried using us.pool.ntp.org servers with the same results described below). I can use ntpdate -u to sync the time just fine, but when I set them up as server entries in ntp.conf, they don't work [18:48] learner, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248672 [18:48] zaxonspox: that 'issue' has been discussed in the forums a lot i recall.. the whole 'exe must be executable' is a rather silly idea i find. [18:48] Dr_Willis, It seems that Universal USB creator is the one. Though they suggest to use the desktop release, and I download the alternate one. [18:48] TLoFPs: No you haven't. Please join #freenode for help with registration. [18:48] euthymos, not really, i just love mplayer-nogui [18:49] galusr: yes; 0,1 and 6 are special though so 2345 is about right [18:49] learner, telnet maybe ? [18:49] Dr_Willis, i would like too, but i get error, that EXE-cs arent Executables (no x only r) [18:49] psiklops: :) [18:49] sosaited: the alt should work. they also have a 'multi disrto' creator tool that can use the altcd. [18:49] ntpq -p shows my servers that I configure in ntp.conf, but none of them ever has an asterisk beside it, which, if I understand, means it's not actually syncing with them [18:49] thank you guys. You always solve my problems [18:49] zaxonspox: i just run from terminal for the most part. I rarely install things from cd these days. === TLoFPs is now known as TLoFP [18:50] Dr_Willis, so i think you cant help me [18:50] If there's a better channel for this question, I apologize, and please point me in the right direction. I couldn't find an NTP specific channel, though, so I thought the distro channel was my next best bet [18:50] how do i get the ip of my machine? [18:51] Cars10: ifconfig from a terminal [18:51] Cars10, ifconfig [18:51] erUSUL: Ah I was being thick. I realize now it means level 2, 3, 4 & 5. Just trying to confirm it's running now with top but not seeing it. [18:51] joesuffceren: You may want to try to ask in #ubuntu-server [18:51] zaxonspox: you coudl also make a nautilus script that launches wine for a exe and bypasses that 'exe must be executable' annyance. or change the default app for .exe's perhaps. [18:51] pici: will do. thanks! [18:51] zaxonspox: i recall the forums offering several suggestions other then messign with cdrom mounting options [18:51] galusr: top may not show it. « pgrep -l cron » [18:52] brontoeee, does work for me... help me.. [18:52] btw is there a decent resource about nautilus scripts? [18:52] can anyone help me fix glibc compile error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/525201/ [18:52] psiklops, telnet, how to use that.. pls guide.. [18:52] erUSUL: Cool I can see it. [18:52] Dr_Willis, can you show me the forum url? mayby i will find something suitable for me [18:52] Jiklo: you are compiling glibc from source? [18:52] yes [18:52] learner, my windows networking knowhow is close to 0, so somebody else must jump in here [18:53] glibc-2.12.1 [18:53] how to microsoft access files in ubuntu..? [18:53] hi all.

My doesn't work, and Im trying to use some sort of kernel patches [18:54] karthick87, in OpenOffice Base (on windows) i was able to open Access mdb files, but on linux i did have problems [18:54] DrZeus: many Laptops use readers that dont have proper drivers/support/specs for linxu to work with them fully. [18:54] weird - unless i login as root my eth1 will not go up - any ideas ? [18:54] but it says the patch is merged with the main kernel since 2.6.22 ; how can I verify that in my system? [18:54] zaxonspox, I recall running it with winesetup, or wineserver or something and not the default wine [18:54] Jiklo: jusr courious ( i think i am not able to help ) why are you doing it? is a risky thing to do. [18:54] is there an MSN protocol for Linux out there are the supports signing in from more than one place at a time? [18:54] DrZeus: most of the time the SD slot will work.. but other slots may not. [18:54] ranjan: figured out the command - sudo mount /media/DATA/Programs/Ubuntu\ Installation/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop [18:54] learner, example: ssh user@box will connect you to the box with ssh server installed [18:55] Night all. [18:55] Any other way..? [18:55] ranja: the whitespace was causing a problem [18:55] how can I see the patches my running kernel has? [18:55] learner, example2: connect to server in nautilus will show remote filesystem in a kind way, can be usefull for editing different config files, html, css on the web server for example [18:55] rigved, ok :) [18:55] hello, ive just upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and transmission starts being slow; anyone with the same problem? ive searched in forums and google but nothing that helps. [18:55] any command for that? [18:55] how can I see the patches my running kernel has? any command 4 that? [18:55] the problem was with -t parameter [18:56] rigved, isnt it? [18:56] karthick87, try now on OO Base, mayby is better now with Access files, i no, try some conversion [18:56] DrZeus: no; you can't. if the driver is in the kernel from the 22 version then ubuntu has it [18:56] learner, example3: using filezilla client is a good way for transfer of large files over ssh === jakub is now known as Guest30474 [18:56] Hello everybody [18:56] oke [18:56] i'm on ubuntu 10.04 and using the network manager applet to connect to my wireless connection , is tehree a way to connect to it from CL ? [18:56] is there an MSN protocol for Linux out there are the supports signing in from more than one place at a time? [18:56] DrZeus: you can check /boot/config* files [18:56] ranjan: yes that too [18:56] !msn | con-man [18:56] con-man: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [18:56] erUSUL, tnx, will check that [18:56] ranjan: it's given in the man pages too [18:57] brontoeee, it means that i have to configure & install a ssh server first 7 than may be a client to implement & learn about ssh, or is thr any other way out do the same.. [18:57] rigved, ok :) [18:57] learner, example4: one can use ssh with rsync without running rsync server on remote host. [18:57] can any one help me ...... i have a tv tuner card installed on my pc, i installed tvtime but all i ever get is a black screen .... plz help!!! [18:57] ubottu, none of those support signing in from multiple places [18:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:58] pravin USB or PCI TVcard?

[18:59] hello, ive just upgraded ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and transmission starts being slow; anyone with the same problem? ive searched in forums and google but nothing that helps. [19:00] solved my problem by changing center and subwoofer cable [19:00] pravin i did only handeled with USB card, try to find used chipset in your card, the chip codename must be in some config placed (tvtime?) [19:00] ubottu, none of those support signing in from multiple places, and pidgin is not one of them. so dont tell ubottu to message me about it [19:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:01] brontoeee, thank you very much dear, but i think i need to have my hands over its syntax first, i need to search for its command option. only than i can use it..isn't it? [19:01] Jiklo: well yes; an error can render the system unusable. the libc is the central lib of a linux system. a wrong kernel can be easily replaced. a wrong/corrupted libc not so. you should only try to replace it if you have a very good reason and know how to handle any error that may happen [19:01] @zaxonspox : when I use lspci i get that i have philips SAA7130 chip installed [19:02] learner, there isnt much to learn really, try: man ssh [19:02] Is there any way to universally change keybindings?

Is there a way to install em all it once? [19:04] *at [19:04] Cars10, whats the problem [19:04] MrStarbuck83: You can have applisation from gnome running on it (with some extra instalation, including gdm), but most of administration is done in terminal [19:04] hi all [19:05] !synaptic | shcherbak [19:05] shcherbak, please see my private message [19:05] Is there a meta-package for all that stuff?

Thanks :) [20:23] starn, 'screen' <- Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells). [20:23] starn: dconnect , sorry, that`s nano line wrapping, ubuntu`s pimped up version of screen is byobu [20:23] Cars10 go again to Remote Desktop Pref. [20:23] praetorian_: I think you need to mount it [20:23] zaxonspox: yes [20:24] I am using 9.10. [20:24] ok I will try it now... [20:24] praetorian_: you can try http://www.backtrack-linux.com/forums [20:24] brontoeee: its confusing me though for system monitor shows whats virt?? and um.. i think i'm understanding it now [20:24] Cars10 is some txt like "Your desktop is seen only from local network" under "Sharing" [20:24] Soothsayer, try here http://www.scribd.com/doc/33039298/NS2-in-Ubuntu-10-by-Noor-Zaman [20:24] coz_: checking...

[20:25] coz_: will that work on ubuntu 9.10 ? [20:25] this is a silly question and a lot of people may laugh.. but why can't windows have such great comunity and support like linux.. [20:26] nothingspecial: the number one of all times..? [20:26] zaxonspox: oh sorry the text is there [20:26] Soothsayer, I would assume it is not much different... only way to tell is to try [20:26] Soothsayer, it should work [20:26] dconnect: ubuntu has a fancy version of gnu screen called byobu. Just type - byobu _ I think it`s default [20:26] well frank: If a corrupt ntfs partition with messed up tables (from me resizing it with gparted ) appears to have used no space out of the allotted amount and it is unformatted, does that mean tracing back my gparted steps wont fix the part. because the data totally lost or would it show up again? [20:26] coz_: trying it alongside [20:26] zaxonspox: and then: other can connect with localhost [20:26] Cars10 is there an IP given? [20:26] thanks I have been in the forums as well, I thought it was a firmware issue, of course the solution is usually a simple one, I assume after I mount I need to modify startup to auto mount it, I want to figure this out on my own, but am i headed in the right direction? [20:27] starn, more: mediainfo (not in repos), flac (lossless audio encoder), feh (picture viewer) [20:27] zaxonspox: localhost [20:27] coz_: what does this even mean [20:27] "It turns out that otcl does not like the version of gcc installed by default in [20:27] Lucid. So go ahead and change ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in. Find the [20:27] line that says:" [20:27] digging byobu...

It takes a little time to learn some of these cli apps. Once you got them though, your computing experience will be so much faster, you`ll wonder why you ever bothered with a gui at all. ...... except for a comic reader ..... ;) [20:28] any worthwhile vectorial graphics software?

[20:31] starn: by default, the current directory [20:31] starn, in current folder by default i think [20:32] starn, type pwd [20:32] Soothsayer, yeah its 2.34 [20:32] crap. by defualt where does console open up? [20:32] ohhh nvm [20:32] starn, type pwd to see where you are [20:32] Soothsayer, so on that wget command just change the version number [20:32] I have an emachine et1331g that came with win7 x86 on it and i installed ubuntu 9.10 to run dual bootable next to it. after awhile i shrunk the win drive so i now had extended partition. i decided to take ubuntu off. when i went to reboot i had a grub error. i didn't have the recovery disk to run bootrec /fixmbr so i loaded the ubuntu live cd to go online and look for an answer... at that time i was able to see the c drive and all [20:32] Cars10 go to System>>Preferencess>Starting Programs or similar [20:33] zaxonspox: ok am there [20:34] ok I have to break here maybe be back later Soothsayer let me know if that worked at some point :) [20:34] Cars10 go deep down, is there a Remote Desktop? [20:34] coz_: sure [20:34] hey [20:34] zaxonspox: yes [20:34] how do i cancel an ongoing wget download [20:34] Soothsayer, ctrl+c? [20:35] brontoeee: was not happening [20:35] i jst shut the terminal [20:35] Cars10 is it checked? [20:35] Hello I recently setup my computer with Ubuntu. I installed my graphics driver (ATI Radeon Xpress 1250) and setup dual monitors. And now I have a weird "panel" on the right side of my right monitor. (As seen here http://i.imgur.com/jXBOr.jpg ) Could anyone tell me what it is or how to fix it or even a term to google for? Thanks :) [20:35] zaxonspox: yes it has an command: vino/vino-server --sm-disable [20:36] Cars10 then it should work, press ALT+F2 and type vino-server [20:36] s'il vous y'a t'il quelqun qui pourrait m'aider à resoudre un probleme de virtual box [20:37] clone1018, docky ?

[20:38] how do i get bitlbee to work? and or suggest me another app??? [20:39] That doesnt help me at all. Too broad of a term [20:40] clone1018, ati + ubuntu + video + loopback brings nothing? [20:40] clone1018, or: ati + ubuntu + video + loop-back brings nothing? [20:40] Cars10 type in terminal gconf-editor [20:40] Hi, I'm wondering how to operate an iphone on ubuntu if it's possible [20:40] Nope [20:40] clone1018, create your own background image that is the right size for your dual monitor [20:41] even if it's that image copy/pasted into a double file [20:41] For example I installed VLC and now the only way to import videos there is.... [20:41] Cars10 navigate to /desktop/gnome/remote_desktop [20:41] starn, suggestion would be not to mix clean irc with messy chats [20:41] so I had a problem with wifi connection and i've modified /etc/network/interfaces but after the modification the Virtual box is down is there some one that could help me to resolve this problem [20:41] itunes [20:41] it just looks like ubuntu hasn't looked after it's dual monitor support and it's left a black hole [20:41] just fill it over :P [20:41] Cars10 on right part of window look for "enabled" it should be checked [20:41] hrm [20:41] Okay [20:41] anyone? [20:41] or set the desktop type to tiled, not spanned [20:42] zaxonspox: /desktop/gnome/remote_access ? [20:42] What about moving a gnome panel to another monitor [20:42] Cars10 yes, sorry, acces [20:42] brontoeee: so i should close irc?? :( [20:42] Tiled doesnt do anything [20:42] starn, no, just dont try to hack-integrate stuff into irc that doesnt belong there [20:43] oh.. well how am i to use yahoo and msn and others in cli? [20:43] starn, but thats only my humble opinion [20:43] any help please [20:44] anyone knows how to paste an image from the clpboard to a file using the command line?

[20:46] finch is the no-X version of pidgin [20:46] nothingspecial, no... i have an image in the clipboard and i want to create a file [20:46] Hello have a question when i do ls -i it gives some files and folders a colour coding what does each colour say about a file? anybody got a link? [20:46] hi, i have just bootet ubuntu and in the top panel it says "networking disabled" .. im using a cabled network which worked on windows.. how can i activate network? [20:46] I installed Stellarium and only see mostly grey on the screen and sometimes parts of it become visible, but they keep disappearing, the same thing is happening to blender too, and Blender used to work, help? [20:46] Jelou: I`m not sure I get you? [20:46] hello, I have ushare installed on both my laptop and my desktop (both ubuntu 10.10) They are streaming nicely to the xbox (except the music which is scambled, doesn't have artist/albums. How do I fix that) I was wondering if I can use ushare to stream music/videos from my desktop to my laptop.... [20:47] finch is perfect. for me.. [20:47] Is there a program for automatically tagging mp3 files with information from the Internet? [20:48] pw-topic: have you tried typing in "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" in the terminal? [20:48] pw-toxic: have you tried typing in "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" in the terminal? [20:48] internet problems? [20:48] pkkm, no matter how you look at it, it is a pain... but there are a few. check out the ubuntu software center [20:48] pkkm: That`s a good question, but as most of the internet has incorrect music file information, to be honest, I wouldn`t bother [20:48] Hi There.. I tried downloading an iso and creating an USB on my mac, followed the procedure here, but the USB is not bootable [20:48] zaxonspox: and then? [20:48] rikeh, no such device.. lol [20:49] rikeh, ifconfig only shows "lo" interface [20:49] Cars10 "enabled" it should be checked. Is checked? [20:49] anyone knows if there's anything missing on the procedure? [20:49] I am trying to find out why my computer sometimes does not start the screensaver (and thus lock the screen) after the specified inactivity time. Is there some way I can poll the screensaver [thing] and ask what is interrupting it (as I know mplayer, among other programs, is capable of doing)? [20:49] N E 1 SMART ENUF 2 CHANGE A MAC HFS DRIVE BACK 2 MS DATA? [20:49] zaxonspox: yes [20:49] Jelou: i'm not sure there's a way. ironically, imagemagick does what you want on windows, but i'm afraid clipboard formats are less standardized on unices. [20:49] pw-toxic: well i guess thats part of the problem :P [20:49] rikeh, and how do i solve it? [20:49] Cars10 do relogin, not reboot, and check if vino process is present [20:50] chango93230, 1. backup the data, 2. format your drive [20:50] zaxonspox, how can I start vino automatically. currently I just have remote desktop as a startup program [20:50] pkkm: I got my sentence mixed up ..... I meant most of the music information on the internet ..... [20:51] SianaGearz, i'm trying to do it with gimp but doesn't work, maybe i'm dong something wrong [20:51] How do I update my graphiics driver? [20:51] zaxonspox: no vino process running [20:51] rikeh, any idea? [20:51] Trying to do something like : gimp -i -b '(gimp-edit-paste)' -b '(gimp-png-save-defaults "Image.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' [20:52] Tetracomm, goto admin>hardware [20:52] Jelou: i'm not even sure other programs are compatible with whatever gimp uses as its clipboard. so perhaps you should ask some gimp guru in a corresponding channel, perhaps they'll whip up a script which runs in gimp for you. [20:52] pw-toxic hmm [20:52] Jelou, you can try #gimp channel [20:52] I am trying to find out why my computer sometimes does not start the screensaver (and thus lock the screen) after the specified inactivity time. Is there some way I can poll the screensaver [thing] and ask what is interrupting it? I know mplayer can stop the screen saver from activating, want to find out what else is doing it. [20:52] sorry for the repeat, was rephrasing for another channel [20:52] tim__: All I see there is an empty list and it says no propriety drivers are in use on this system. [20:52] pw-toxic_, what's your issue? [20:52] Cars10 type in terminal: ps -aux | grep "vino" [20:52] brontoeee thnx but that's easier said than done [20:53] dark3lf, i'm already on it, but no answer [20:53] pwtoxic_; try adding the following text to the /etc/networking/interfaces file "auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp" [20:53] RedSocrates, I cant connect to the internet... the top panel says "networking disabled". When i do ifconfig, there is onlny "lo" as an interface [20:53] Tetracomm, hmmm I'm assuming you have a graphics card pluged into the PCI and you are trying to install it right? [20:53] first auto eht0 and on the next line: iface eth0 inet dhcp [20:53] RedSocrates, networking works when i boot windows [20:53] pw-toxic_, does "ifconfig -a" show more than lo? [20:53] i guess i have 2 wait 4 a reall expert guru === grumbl is now known as grumbl69 [20:54] RedSocrates, RedSocrates eth0 and wlan0 additionally [20:54] zaxonspox: Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [20:54] tim__: No it is an integrated intel one and it used to work with blender in the past, but Blender didn't work at all since I installed Ubuntu 9.10. [20:54] Jelou, xclip doesnt do any magic? [20:54] pw-toxic_, what happens if you type: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [20:54] heheh my frist idea too :P [20:54] is there a support channel dedicated to ubuntustudio ? [20:54] rikeh, :) [20:55] RedSocrates, :D :D :D "SI0CSIFFLAGS: Unkown error 132" O_o [20:55] Cars10 nothing more? no vino process, i am out of ideas why it is not running [20:55] brontoeee, i think xclip only copy/paste text, right? [20:55] i think he should add eth0 to the /etc/networking/interface file you agree redsocrates? [20:55] #ubuntustudio grumbl69¿ [20:55] RedSocrates, the same with eth0: no error.. no message [20:55] Jelou, no idea, ill test now... [20:55] pw-toxic_, do you know what wireless card you have? If not, what is the output of: lspci | grep Network [20:55] RedSocrates, when i do ifconfig now, eth0 is displayed [20:55] my friends machine is stuffed. His screen starts flickering and now ubuntu won't boot [20:55] can anyone help? [20:55] Tetracomm, hmmm I am having a similar problem with a wireless interface card on my laptop... hasn't worked since i installed 10.04 , I am not sure how to help you man [20:55] zaxonspox: yeah i dunno [20:55] rikeh, I'm not sure that that would help if the card is having issues coming up [20:56] tim__, all the auto-tagging programs I have seen in synaptic require full CD in the drive or all the MP3 files from that CD in one directory. I want to tag single MP3s. If You know a program that can do that, tell me its name please. [20:56] RedSocrates it could detect the card coulden't it so i though it was a configuration problem [20:56] RedSocrates, 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series [20:56] :( [20:56] anyone? [20:56] zaxonspox: thx for you time [20:56] buonasera a tutti [20:56] Hello have a question when i do ls -i it gives some files and folders a colour coding what does each colour say about a file? anybody got a link? [20:56] RedSocrates, i have used ubuntu several months ago.. it worked.. didnt use it for months.. maybe this is an important note [20:57] !anyone | FRockstock [20:57] FRockstock: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [20:57] pkkm, i have used easytag in the past. you can do a single file or a whole dir [20:57] RedSocrates, but i remember networking didnt work the last time i used it, which was probably the reason i switched to windows :D [20:57] pw-toxic_, okay, one second.

[20:58] tetracomm: hmm could be a hardware problem have you the same problem in Windows? [20:58] (Tetracomm) [20:58] tim__, Thank You.

[21:00] so go ahead and ask it [21:00] hello, I have ushare installed on both my laptop and my desktop (both ubuntu 10.10) They are streaming nicely to the xbox (except the music which is scambled, doesn't have artist/albums. How do I fix that) I was wondering if I can use ushare to stream music/videos from my desktop to my laptop.... [21:00] I have installed Ubuntu next to Windows XP, now, if i start my Laptop, and i say it has to use Ubuntu, it gets to the dashboard, and does nothing [21:00] RedSocrates, this will be quite difficult since i have no internet ;)) [21:00] I just have a grey thing on the upper-side and a background... [21:00] pw-toxic_, ah, right, my mistake [21:00] RedSocrates, i use USB.. [21:00] And the laptop doesn't respond [21:01] RedSocrates, wait a sec [21:01] pw-toxic_, ok [21:01] RedSocrates, *looking for usb drive* d'oh [21:01] anybody knows a good open-source irc program? [21:01] Tetracomm: see query. [21:01] Jelou, nope, xclip wont work [21:01] rikeh, xchat [21:01] xchat.. [21:01] rikeh: depends on what you want. xchat, kvirc, quassel... all good. [21:01] Who has a solution for me? [21:01] Vertigo: ubuntu desktop version or netbook version? what graphics card? [21:02] rikeh, gnome-chat, is ok.... [21:02] Vertigo: did you try selecting recovery mode at the boot menu and then starting ubuntu in low graphics mode? [21:03] Jelou: I still don`t getwhat you want ??? [21:03] No, i did not, but before you help me any further, i have to say i have a Pentium 3 laptop with a 6gb harddisk, might this be the problem? [21:03] hey there - I would like to install Ubuntu 10.10 in textmode (with the debian-installer) but can't find the option to do so.. can someone tell me if it's possible? [21:03] RedSocrates, my ubuntu denies to save the file... wait a sec [21:03] Hey, a noob friend says she "uninstalled cairo-dock and all the plugins that came with it", that seems to have corrupted her gnome because she goes on to say she's stuck at the login screen. Is there a tool to check for missing dependencies in ubuntu? I'm a Gentoo user. Also, apart for checking for missing deps, what would you recommend she do? [21:03] Vertigo: might be yes could be to slow [21:04] Vertigo: yes, this is likely a problem, if you have installed too much. how large is the ubuntu partition anyway? [21:04] pw-toxic_, okay [21:04] rikeh: no, it's not too slow. [21:04] 3gb i think... [21:04] I dunno [21:04] but when harddisk is full, NOTHING will work. [21:04] Vertigo: try !lubuntu for little resoruces [21:04] rekeh, irssi [21:04] rikeh, irssi [21:04] !lubuntu? [21:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:04] !lubuntu [21:04] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [21:05] !lbuntu [21:05] ah, that way [21:05] Click [21:05] RedSocrates, http://pastebin.com/gxSwE9yP [21:05] is there a way to enforce user authentication as well as key based authentication (require both)? [21:05] !lubuntu [21:05] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [21:05] dentifrice: you want a text mode installer ? or the whole system in text mode afterwards? [21:05] !lubuntu [21:05] DrSlony, sudo apt-get check should check for broken dependencies [21:06] RedSocrates: thanks, any other advice? [21:06] Also, where does ubuntu keep error logs? /var/log/? [21:06] Vertigo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu%20Desktop%20Edition [21:06] here's a list of hardware reqs [21:06] lol Vertigo, having fun with the bot? [21:06] DrSlony, not at the moment, focused on trying to help someone else, and haven't encountered something like your issue before, sorry [21:06] DrSlony: yep [21:06] thanks :) [21:07] hola [21:07] guntbert: a textmode installer [21:07] pw-toxic_, one second, researching [21:07] Ill try the boot thing first, brb [21:07] dentifrice: ubuntu minimal [21:07] Vertigo: lubuntu and xubuntu both have different desktop environments which need less memory [21:07] Vertigo: see ya [21:07] Ah, ill look at that then..., second.. [21:07] it's not a memory problem, it's a harddrive problem. [21:07] dentifrice: you want the !alternate CD [21:07] hi? [21:08] shit, I just burnt the standard maverick cd [21:08] when installing a cd full of packages, the 3gb partition will be full. [21:08] SianaGearz: how do you know? [21:08] i think xubuntu will work... [21:08] see ya [21:08] !alternate CD [21:08] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [21:08] and when /tmp writes fail, THAT happens. [21:08] Hi all [21:08] hey all what is a practical use for ubuntu cloud server in an office enviroment [21:08] guntbert: thanks for the tip [21:08] i need help If you may [21:08] dentifrice: you're welcome :-) [21:08] does the minimal cli cd install grub? [21:08] hi guys , i'm using ubuntu inside vmware workstation , can someone tell me if i can use desctop efects there ? [21:08] Phareouh: ASK! [21:09] wait - is it possible to do a dm-crypt + LVM install with the GUI installer ? [21:09] djohn: yep [21:09] will i' stuck at Command line [21:09] 'cause that's the reason why I want the textmode installer - I'm familiar with it [21:09] dstaubsauger: because before he installed, he could boot the live cd, right? so his ram was enough to boot ubuntu. [21:09] Phareouh: Me too, cool [21:09] anyone here using Ubuntu cloud [21:09] hum, makes sense SianaGearz :D [21:09] and when i press Ctrl+Alt+f7 [21:09] Phareouh: Do you not want to be? [21:09] hi guys , i'm using ubuntu inside vmware workstation , can someone tell me if i can use desctop efects there ? [21:09] nothingspecial, nice, i'm going for a minimal ubuntu install but i was a bit worried about grub not beeing installed :D [21:09] Hello ya'll. I'm getting this message (http://paste.ubuntu.com/525299/) when booting from ubuntu 10.10 live cd. What is going on here? TIA! [21:09] Phareouh: what exactly did you do? [21:10] noname: I am pretty sure you can [21:10] i got stuck and battary check then , the flashing dahs [21:10] djohn: That`s ubuntu, they "try" to make it easy [21:10] will the boot loader shows up , i shows the first option and it runs [21:10] and this is the outcome [21:10] what does ./validate do ? [21:10] when he gets back, he should be told to scavenge at least a 20gb harddrive somewhere. should be able to get one for free. [21:10] dark3lf:guid me plz [21:11] ah Note : when i tried the low graphics in Recovery mode [21:11] naname, just install compiz in synaptic [21:11] nothingspecial, do you also know if the partition manager in the cli install can install to a free partition i've prepared and not just wipe the whole drive? [21:11] it run [21:11] SianaGearz: wow where can i get 20 gb laptop hdds for free? :D [21:11] Over [21:11] :) [21:11] dark3lf:i did but still not work [21:11] djohn: Yes it can, it`s pretty much the same options as the gui one [21:11] awesome :D [21:11] i installed compiz and advanced manger settings aswell* [21:12] dstaubsauger: uhm... friendly junk shop? [21:12] pw-toxic_, while I'm looking, try this: sudo rmmod iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn [21:12] hellooooo [21:12] noname: you need at least the vmware tools in the guest [21:12] SianaGearz: :P [21:12] noname, you need to run it [21:12] dark3lf:how can i do that [21:13] hello people [21:13] noname, its like running a program, just execute it [21:13] RedSocrates, done.. and now? [21:13] pw-toxic_, no output? [21:13] RedSocrates, the command preoduce zero output [21:13] Phareouh: I missed you. Are you booting to a blank screen, or the cli (in the sense that it offers you a login and you can use your computer)? [21:13] pw-toxic_, okay. Does iwconfig show wlan0? [21:13] dark3lf:ok man thx for ur help [21:13] :) [21:13] RedSocrates, yes [21:13] Soothsayer: depends on your current working directory. unless there is a validate program in there, you get an error message :) [21:14] pw-toxic_, now what does sudo ifconfig wlan0 up do? [21:14] SianaGearz: its expected to be a shell script ? [21:14] and if there is one... then ask where you got that :) [21:14] ah no the Command Promot on Ttnty 1 [21:14] RedSocrates, the same as last time: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [21:14] and ask me for user name and pass [21:14] pw-toxic_, :( [21:14] Soothsayer: it could be a shell script or any other kind of executable. it is expected to have +x flag set. [21:14] Phareouh: Can you startx [21:14] noname, if not working, maybe you miss a dependancy in synaptic [21:14] SianaGearz: haan [21:15] what is that [21:15] Hey guys... our syslogd (1.5.0) is hanging on a futex, any idea if this is a known issue? [21:15] the damn ns-2 validate takes more than 30 mins [21:15] :-| [21:15] (as determined by strace) [21:15] Phareouh: or sudo service gdm start [21:15] ah by the way [21:15] dark3lf; i'll check that too thx bro [21:15] Phareouh: to type, once you have logged in to tty1 [21:16] is there any alternative way to practice ns-2 and see the nam output ? === Connor1_ is now known as Connor1 [21:16] like some online solution or windows based alternative ? [21:16] Soothsayer: it could even be source code in any programming language, provided the first line looks like #!path/to/interpreter [21:16] regme [21:16] when i go to the recovery mode [21:16] SianaGearz: ye i guess its compiling it [21:16] !enter | Phareouh [21:16] Phareouh: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:16] and running tests [21:16] Hello. How i make register thete? [21:16] Phareouh: No, during normal boot [21:16] ubottu: register | Kir_NFS [21:16] Kir_NFS: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [21:16] ah ok [21:16] My dads computer sudenly no longer responds to mouse clicks, i'm on the machine via VNC and mouse clicks dons't work here either! [21:17] ok will try [21:17] pw-toxic_, has the output of "dmesg | grep iwl" changed? [21:17] any one have any idea for what is wrong and how it could be solved? [21:17] Phareouh: sudo service gdm start [21:17] RedSocrates, maybe the following information is important: Windows only works when using SATA in AHCI mode... but when i use ubuntu i use IDE mode of SATA (setting in the bios) because in case of AHCI, the sleep mode doesnt work, which is crucial for a notebook [21:17] Phareouh: Is the command [21:17] RedSocrates, twice as much output [21:17] please upload screenshots of software to http://screenshots.debian.net/upload [21:18] He sayes that it works just as the system is starting but after a few secounds he can only move the mouse or use the keybard [21:18] AJenbo, are you sure, PC is still running? [21:18] ubottu: ot | smallfoot- [21:18] smallfoot-: #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! [21:18] pw-toxic_, do any of the new lines have "failed" or "failure" messages? [21:18] RedSocrates, the output is just 2 times * http://pastebin.com/gxSwE9yP [21:18] pw-toxic_, okay [21:18] RedSocrates, instead of the nubmers at the front .. 26-59.... and phy1 isntead of phy0 [21:19] zaxonspox, i'm on it via vnc and i can do any every thing except click with the mouse [21:19] AJenbo, did you tried reconnecting? [21:19] RedSocrates, ah ok and: on the 2nd part the first line differs: PCI INT A disabled.. [21:19] zaxonspox, reconnect what? [21:19] RedSocrates, this line just doesnt exist in the first part [21:20] RedSocrates, so the 2nd part has one more line [21:20] zaxonspox, he can't click with the local physical mouse, and nether can i when i login via vnc [21:20] RedSocrates, one more line than http://pastebin.com/gxSwE9yP [21:20] AJenbo, reconnect to that PC and see if click start working again [21:20] zaxonspox, he sayes it's been like this for about 5 dayes now [21:21] so it has been rebooted a few times. [21:21] When booting from ubuntu 10.10 live cd I get this message (http://paste.ubuntu.com/525299/) . What is going on here? TIA! [21:21] AJenbo, tried diffrent Mouse? does keyboard works fine? [21:21] RedSocrates, now i know why i havent used ubuntu for so long - always i wanted to use it, internet didnt work and i had no time to resolve this ;) [21:22] RedSocrates, but i REALLY need the multiple desktop thing of ubuntu to work properly [21:22] * Rhun Hi [21:22] zaxonspox, if it exhibit the same issue over vnc as on the local machine i doubth it's the physical mouse [21:22] hi, can somebody explain what a daemon is or what it means to daemonize? [21:22] zaxonspox, yes the keyboard works fine that is how i am using it atm [21:22] if i use a command in the terminal to enable root will my session as root end when i exit the terminal? [21:22] Pylix: what command? Why? Why don't you just use sudo? [21:22] on ubuntu 10.1 [21:23] zaxonspox, looks more like some thing is grabbing mouse clicks but i don't know where to look for some thing like that. [21:23] Pylix: I don`t think that question is supported here [21:23] boxbeatsy: it means the program runs entirely in the background, without being attached to a terminal or the gui [21:23] Pylix, yes [21:23] just asking if i did like hypothetically [21:23] !root | Pylix [21:23] Pylix: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:24] hay [21:24] Dulak: gotcha...does it imply anything about starting up by default after a reboot? [21:24] pw-toxic_, could you get the output of: ls /lib/firmware | grep iwl [21:24] Pylix: you can get a root shell with sudo -i [21:24] who here was helping me [21:24] ? [21:24] Pylix: No offence, If you have to ask, you shouldn`t know. If you know, you don`t need to ask :) [21:24] it said gdm already runing [21:24] boxbeatsy: not really, being a daemon just implies the background nature, not anything to do with startup [21:24] RedSocrates, (writing it myself) wilwifi-1000-3.ucode ... [21:25] Hey everyone. I'm trying to get three screens working on Ubuntu 10.10 (one VGA, one DVI, and one HDMI). Everything is being detected but it only allows me to output to two monitors at a time (as far as I can tell). [21:25] lol [21:25] Dulak: gotcha, thanks! [21:25] pw-toxic_, okay, so it has the microcode for your card, that's good [21:25] This is my error: " MetaMode 1 of Screen 0 has more than two active display devices."

[21:28] Don't know if anyone can help me. But I'm trying to figure out if there is a bittorrent client i can configure to only download via and when I am connected to the net by a VPN-connection? [21:28] hi [21:29] f00bar80, id say no [21:29] anyone can help me with jokey refusing to install drivers for a bcm43* chip [21:29] pw-toxic_, apparently the driver that you are using for your wireless card is part of "compat-wireless," which you can get on Ubuntu by doing: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [21:29] i had this setup PC (192.168.3.1) ------- eth0 (192.168.3.90) Ubuntu Server 10.04 eth1 (192.168.4.41) -------- webserver (192.168.4.42), problem is i cannot ping to 4.42 host, how do i fix this [21:29] pw-toxic_, I don't know whether that will bring in a new version of the module that may work or not, but it's something you could try [21:29] RedSocrates, eh.. you remember i dont have internet? :D [21:29] the server is newly installed [21:30] it has squid but i already allow the network in squuid [21:30] pw-toxic_, yeah, you'd have to get the packages manually on the computer you're currently on, and then move them to the other [21:30] RedSocrates, i have no idea how to do so ;) [21:30] pw-toxic_: or plug an ethernet cable into it temporarily [21:30] pw-toxic_, are you using Lucid, Maverick, or which Ubuntu? [21:30] Dulak, .. my pc is on ethernet cable all the time. [21:31] pw-toxic_: were you not asking about a wireless card? [21:31] pw-toxic_: use AptonCD [21:31] Dulak, Lucid Lynx [21:31] my jokey.log is http://paste.pocoo.org/show/285745/ [21:31] what the command in the terminal for switching the wireless on please ? [21:31] area51pilot, what is this? [21:31] (Help) I'me setting up a netbook to be sold on UNE 10.04 using the OEM installation, is there any way to enable Visual Effects for the entire machine instead of a per user basis? Thanks. [21:31] Dulak, my wireless card AND my ethernet doesnt work [21:32] i have no idea how to fix [21:32] Dulak, ethernet is disabled says the to ppanel [21:32] Dulak, networking is diabled.. sorry [21:32] pw-toxic_:transfer packages on your system to a cd repository. you can then take that cd to another system and load the cd's repository to install packages [21:32] area51pilot, my notebook has no cd rom drive by the way ;) [21:32] hi. How can I enable multitouch support? [21:32] I know my touchpad supports it [21:32] :P [21:33] area51pilot, i have installed ubuntu via network [21:33] pw-toxic_, the ethernet also doesn't work? Does it give a similar error while connected and when you try to do: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [21:33] pw-toxic_: but no internet on the machine? === subay^^ is now known as gerappa [21:33] RedSocrates, when i do "ifconfig" eth0 appears [21:33] area51pilot, i installed ubuntu months ago [21:33] pw-toxic_, but what does it do when you do that full command while the wire is connected? sudo ifconfig eth0 up [21:34] pw-toxic_:sudo ifconfig eth0 up [21:34] RedSocrates, RedSocrates eth0 appears, but i only have an ipv6 adress .. my cable is connected to my ubuntu router having dhcp installed which works for my windows [21:34] area51pilot, already did this [21:34] area51pilot, RedSocrates i try a reboot [21:34] Hi, i've got a problem with alien. After conversion I can'T find the deb file. http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399220/ [21:34] k [21:34] pw-toxic_, does "sudo dhclient eth0" get an IP address? [21:35] RedSocrates, wait i do a reboot using SATA as AHCI.. maybe this helps :D who knows [21:35] pw-toxic_, just try that last command real quick, since your eth0 is showing. Then yes, try a reboot [21:36] RedSocrates, already rebooting :D sry === gerappa is now known as subay^^ [21:36] RedSocrates, DAMN windows boots :/ [21:36] i killed it :D [21:36] pw-toxic_, you're saying that you can't currently boot into Ubuntu? [21:37] RedSocrates, no im sorry.. i just told you that i missed selecting ubuntu on grub ;/ === subay^^ is now known as subu [21:37] sorry for disturbing you by stupid social talks :D [21:37] pw-toxic_, no problem === subu is now known as subay^^ === subay^^ is now known as aur [21:38] I'm trying to remove 'fglrx'. Any idea why I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/525314/ [21:38] hello all [21:38] brontosaurusrex, why ? [21:38] RedSocrates, rebooted: "networking disabled" still shown in the gnome top panel.. "ifconfig" shows no eth0 "ifconfig eth0 up" adds eth0 to "ifconfig" output [21:39] I can't install abiword because my repository server doesn't seem to have a "libgdome2-0" package. I thought it was a typo [21:39] pw-toxic_, okay, now, assuming the wire is connected to the ethernet, what happens with: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [21:39] RedSocrates, lols "WARNING **_ Owner of /tmp/orbit-ebox-usercorner is not the current user" (2 times shown) === Pinna is now known as Pinako [21:40] cousteau`irssi: pastebin exactly what you are executing and the full output [21:40] i am able to click on the application names in the bottom pannel but nowhere else [21:40] RedSocrates, as i just said.. if i do ifconfig eth0 there is NO output, but eht0 is shown in the "ifconfig" commands output [21:40] RedSocrates, i now tell you the output of dhclient eth0 [21:40] pw-toxic_, sorry, yes, that's what I meant [21:40] jrib: wait... now I'm having a weird problem with gksu [21:41] gksudo seems to work but gksu doesn't [21:41] (Help) I'me setting up a netbook to be sold on UNE 10.04 using the OEM installation, is there any way to enable Visual Effects for the entire machine instead of a per user basis? Thanks. [21:41] RedSocrates, i have a new information... i can ping my ubuntu router [21:41] hello, i have a number of computers in my home. 1 of which i use as a seedbox and the other as a media centre. I would like to administrate both computers via VNC. I have accomplished this task but the VNC keeps timing out so when i try to connect to theses computer via my main computer I can't. is there any way to prevent this timeout? [21:41] cousteau`irssi: one problem at a time [21:41] how to enable multitouch support in maverick? [21:41] zaxonspox, reconnectin with VNC didn't make the local or the VNC mouse workagain [21:41] RedSocrates, looks like my ubuntu NAT doesnt work for my ubuntu machine.. but it works on my desktop windows machine (chatting on this with you) [21:41] jrib: #2 was found while trying to change the server to solve #1 [21:42] pw-toxic_, yeah, so the problem with eth0 may be something with the Ubuntu router [21:42] pw-toxic_, the issues with wlan0 look like a different issue [21:42] RedSocrates, but why is my wlan0 shown as disabled then? [21:42] RedSocrates, what i plug in my notebook to a different network with a different router [21:43] AJenbo, were you in System>>Preferencess>>Mouse ? mayby there is something wrong? [21:43] jrib: problem 1 solved, the main server works, it's just the spain server the one having trouble with abiword [21:43] different ports? [21:43] cousteau`irssi: ok, what are you executing with gksu that doesn't work? [21:44] jrib: software-properties-gtk [21:44] first from the menu, then from command line [21:44] try opening all ports on your router and see if that works [21:44] pw-toxic_, unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions for you to try at the moment, I have to go as my wife is getting grumpy with me :) [21:44] cousteau`irssi: what happens exactly? [21:44] pw-toxic_, sorry it's still not working, good luck with finding a fix [21:44] jrib: it asks me for my password and then does nothing, it just returns to the prompt [21:45] cousteau`irssi: does it work with a different command? [21:46] jrib: gksudo does work, but gksu doesn't. I'll try other GUI programs apart from apt-related [21:46] pw-toxic_: do you have User Rights to connect to a LAn or Wireless Internet [21:46] usually defaulted as NO [21:46] I got a couple of noob ubuntu questions... [21:47] jrib: same for `gksu nautilus` and `gksudo nautilus`. Latter works, former doesn't. [21:47] aquaducter: shoot [21:47] so I installed 10.4 and trying to update through update manager and it is not showing 10.10 update [21:47] is there a way to deploy your own ubuntu one server? [21:48] Hi! =) someone knows where is gnome-volume-manager in maverick? [21:48] and do i have to install gdm themes manually? [21:48] zaxonspox, how can i navigate there using the mouse? [21:48] try from term try : sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install [21:48] do you know the exec name of that program? [21:48] maybey i have to configure a new update server? [21:49] (Help) I'm setting up a netbook to be sold on UNE 10.04 using the OEM installation, is there any way to enable Visual Effects for the entire machine instead of a per user basis? Thanks. [21:49] jrib: which is pretty weird since gksudo is a link to gksu [21:49] hey guys i done uptime in the terminal it gave me so many days hours and minutes said there was 2 users thing is im the only user so how i find out who the other user is? [21:49] area51pilot, what do you mean with this? [21:49] A completely non-linux related question: my mom is having troubles with skype, with a webcam talking to her mother. She, apparantly, is "freezing" every once in awhile. Why is this? [21:50] termal says no new updates [21:50] Dwade09, the second user is probably root... [21:50] zaxonspox, found the app name, but nothing unussual in it :( [21:50] when I boot up Im asked for a keyring password, is there any way I can get rid of the password? [21:50] taofd, how do i find out? [21:50] AJenbo, gnome-mouse-properties [21:50] think I could mount the iso and install from there>? [21:50] I am wondering how the fuse mounting works... I am currently encfs ... but lsmod isn't showing any module for the fuse mounting system... how come? [21:50] Nayr, could be internet?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:50] zaxonspox, yeah nothing strange there :( [21:50] will try to solve this later [21:50] pw-toxic_: look at System>Administration>users and Groups and then look at the "Advanced" settings for the user you are logged in as [21:50] yes, but we have almost a 1.0 upload speed [21:50] cousteau`irssi: internally, the code checks how it's called and acts differently [21:50] AJenbo, does clicking on the icon works? [21:51] oh and anyone playing wow 4.0.1 through wine? or know if thats working? [21:51] out recieving video is perfect, but her view of us is freezing [21:51] jrib: just read something about a gconf entry, will see that after dinner [21:51] how do I " try ohci1394 instead of firewire-ohci." ? guessing i need to blacklist firewire-ohci by putting it in some file? [21:51] cousteau`irssi: k, good luck [21:51] ubottu, oops. can I just ask this one? [21:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:51] zaxonspox, no (an what icon specifically?) [21:51] Nayr: #ubuntu-offtopic or ##windows [21:51] taofd, i did w in terminal and it came back both my names one is tty7 the other is pts/0 what are those?

[21:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:52] ubottu, hi [21:52] AJenbo, icon of the "light bowl" ? [21:52] zaxonspox, yeah that dosn't work [21:52] area51pilot, wtf.. this one was diabled?! [21:52] Nayr: check YOUR bandwidth [21:52] its about 4.0 [21:52] area51pilot, i never disabled it and im the only one using ths computer for sure [21:53] zaxonspox, i can click the program names in the bottom pannel, but nothing else [21:53] catfish and exaile fail to launch when they previously worked fine; do i have a virus? [21:53] pw-toxic_: Upon loading it usually defaults to this setting [21:53] I still have a system on Ubuntu 8.10 and just tried to apt-get update with failure. Did intrepid packages just get removed from ubuntu's servers? [21:53] pw-toxic_:I found that out after trying to figure out for hours1 day why the hell wifi wouldnt work.... :P [21:54] AJenbo, mayby some app has crashed disabling the space from clicing, aka the invisible layer [21:54] ubuntu804: have you tried to ping the server? [21:54] I could access it via http neil_d [21:54] let me figure out the actual name of the server... === Shakey_Jake is now known as TheRealJack [21:54] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com, neil_d [21:54] zaxonspox, maybe, but i just rebooted so don't know what it could be. [21:54] area51pilot, now i cant ping google.de while i can ping google.de's ip address.. ;/ [21:55] /dev/sdb1 on /media/GMINIXS100 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush) <-- what looks weird on this mp3 player mount? it unmounts on access try. 4Gb min HD player [21:55] wow sudenly the mouse is working again [21:55] neil_d the IP for that I am getting is 91.189.92.170 [21:55] AJenbo, magic :D [21:55] pw-toxic_:dns issue [21:55] DNS [21:55] hi all [21:55] area51pilot, probably.. but why? it works perfectly on windows and on my other ubuntu machine [21:55] pw-toxic_:can you ping any other domains [21:56] area51pilot, i can ping my own domain within my own network (ubuntu router) and the network behind my ubuntu router [21:56] area51pilot, so i can ping 192.168.42.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 [21:56] pw-toxic_: what about an external static IP address [21:57] area51pilot, 192.168.42.0/24 is my internal network i am connected to, and 192.168.1.0/24 is the external network im not directly connected do [21:57] area51pilot, as i said.. i can ping google by ip [21:57] zaxonspox, temp magic apparenly, now i can't click any thing :( [21:57] ubuntu804: the system I have using 8.04 is working fine. [21:57] pw-toxic_: hmmm ... have to think about that one [21:57] neil_d, sorry bad choice of nick... my system is running 8.10 [21:58] neil_d: the "intrepid" release [21:58] AJenbo, after reseting it was working? then some app is autostarting and disabling the mouse click [21:58] im going to install windows 7. i already have ubuntu on that disc. 2 partitions /home and /. so how should i make room to windows? i mean should i put ntfs before or after the linux partitions? [21:58] ubuntu804: oh! didn't notice that. [21:58] hey guys what is tty7 and pt/0 under w in terminal? [21:58] I'm setting up a netbook to be sold on UNE 10.04 using the OEM installation, is there any way to enable Visual Effects for the entire machine instead of a per user basis? Thanks. [21:58] area51pilot, i have rebootet.. now i cant reach 192.168.1.0/24 via ip ping [21:58] zaxonspox, yeah that is my thinking also === nouitfvf is now known as nouitfvf|aw [21:59] area51pilot, while 192.168.42.1/24 still works [21:59] ubuntu804: mine is a 'hardy' install... new server is due to be installed soon. [21:59] area51pilot, "connect: Network is unreachable" === ShakeyJake is now known as NotJack [21:59] I am wondering how the fuse mounting works... I am currently encfs ... but lsmod isn't showing any module for the fuse mounting system... how come? [21:59] pw-toxic_: so internal is now reachable but not the external net [21:59] ? [22:00] zaxonspox, looks like it might be related to compiz, and probably a security update for 10.04 [22:00] area51pilot, yes internal reachable, but not external (which worked before reboot) [22:01] pw-toxic_: u didnt change anything but the user acess rights? [22:01] Problem, I downloaded wubi. Installed, then booted, worked fine. Then I ran it a few times, installed some stuff. Bla bla, ran windows. then tried to open it again. It kept restarting the computer each time I picked it. Went to windows, got bluescreens. Finally got safemode to work. Then uninstalled ubuntu. Now i can't reinstall because of some pyrun.exe error. [22:01] area51pilot, i changed the userrights so it worked and then i rebootet [22:01] What could cause a mp3 player to unmount when you try to access it? === zz_Crisco is now known as Crisco [22:02] pw-toxic_: are the user rights still as u set them after reboot? [22:02] im going to install windows 7. i already have ubuntu on that disc. 2 partitions /home and /. so how should i make room to windows? i mean should i put ntfs before or after the linux partitions? [22:02] area51pilot, "connect to wireless and ethernet networks" works [22:02] area51pilot, is checked i mean [22:02] area51pilot, "connect to itnernet using a modem" unchecked, but i think this is ok [22:02] can you access the external net from another system on the internal net? [22:03] pw-toxic_: yeah ... modem ... whats that ... :P [22:03] area51pilot, im writing on a windows system which is connected to the same network 192.168.42.1/24 [22:03] how do I set login gdmtheme>? [22:03] zaxonspox, well thats it for today, i just lost the connection (revers ssl) and my dad has gone to sleep [22:03] th_: I would make sure you have your ubuntu fully backed up... windows likely wipe your grub bootblock too... so you will need to reinstall the after too. [22:04] whats your adapters config look like [22:04] Can anyone tell me. How to stop pyrun.exe errors? [22:04] hello every one [22:04] area51pilot, the computer im writiing on is on the same switch.. and my windows system on my notebook works as well [22:04] aquaducter: It's a pain. They changed up gdm a couple versions ago (since jaunty I think)... [22:04] area51pilot, ? whats an adapters config [22:04] AJenbo, sleep is good, an hour and i should go sleep too [22:04] neil_d, yes im familiar with the bootloader. but i meant what would be an optimal order [22:04] :( [22:05] intel_i7: there is a #python channel. [22:05] area51pilot, do you know how i can check what default gateway my ubuntu is using currently? [22:05] That was with the wubi. [22:05] from term run "ifconfig" , similar to ipconfig in windows [22:05] It kept spamming that. [22:05] area51pilot, ah sorry.. i cant ping 192.168.1.1 anyway so this is no gateway problem [22:05] ifconfig -a [22:06] -a for adapter [22:06] area51pilot, ifconfig says that eth0 has an ip adress of 192.168.42.105 which is correct and what i am expecting [22:06] exit [22:06] area51pilot, ifconfig -a additionally shows wlan0 as an interface [22:06] but not active [22:06] th_: It doesn't matter much unless you have a buggy BIOS (in which case both Windows and Ubuntu will need a small boot partition near the beginning of the drive). [22:06] zaxonspox, as if i din't have enough problems, seams my motheres computer is down as well and my graficcard bourgth the farm so i can only run in VESA and with corupt blue lines all over the image [22:06] pw-toxic_: which interface is active [22:06] th_: I don't know... how many partitions atm? windows might need a primary partition. [22:06] th_: one other thing is XP at least wnts to see the "C" drive ie the first partion not a problem as XP can't see Ext4 partions no idea about win 7 thou [22:07] area51pilot, eth0 i guess since i can ping my internetal network?! [22:07] deww: Your client didn't wait for identification to finish before joining channels. Silly client ;P [22:07] neil_d, 2. / and /home [22:07] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_ABORT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK <-- /var/log hmmz [22:07] Can someone tell me how to stop wubi from asking for a drive...

[22:08] area51pilot, i cant ping the external network 192.168.1.1 [22:08] area51pilot, (which worked before reboot) [22:08] zaxonspox, would also need to take away my own if i wanted to fix my grafic issue :) [22:08] pyrun.exe -no disk [22:08] There is no disk in the drive.

[22:09] area51pilot, im not sure what a netmask is but i guess its 255.255.255.0 [22:09] Please insert a dis into drive \device\harddidk1\dr1 [22:09] pw-toxic_: use the route command [22:09] *disk [22:09] AJenbo, yes, but your problem i so simple, to fix, you need to change gfx card to new :P [22:09] 192.168.42.0/24 as well 192.168.1.0/24 [22:09] can you ping 192.168.42.1? [22:09] zaxonspox, i should get a new grafic card to morrow, and hopfylly i can then catch my dad earlier in the day, them maybe solve my mothers computer, what ever might be wrong with it :) [22:09] neil_d, ;( i dont know the route command.. what shall i paste into the console? [22:09] :that's all ? [22:09] neil_d, sorry.. jsut "route" ;) [22:09] That error shows whenever I use the ubuntu installer. [22:09] pw-toxic_: "route" [22:09] nn [22:09] neil_d, there is no gateway.. it says "*" [22:10] neil_d, one single star at the column of gateway.. this means there is no gateway set? [22:10] pw-toxic_: from term, run "route" [22:10] pw-toxic_: try "sudo route" [22:10] hm [22:10] pw-toxic_: it will display netmask and gateway info as well [22:10] whats your mask on your ifconfig for eth0? [22:11] neil_d, area51pilot neil_d same output... 192.168.42.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 [22:11] intel_i7: See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/365881 . In short, either remove the device causing the error or click through the errors and it will continue without any actual problem.

[22:12] I don't know anything that can be removed... [22:12] area51pilot, neil_d i have pasted "dhclient eth0" into the console and now i can ping my external network 192.168.1.1 [22:12] area51pilot, how can i tell ubuntu to use dhclient?!? [22:12] area51pilot, on startup [22:13] neil_d, do you k now how i can set the gateway manually? [22:13] try system-preferences-network connections [22:13] intel_i7: Then just click through the error messages. [22:13] hello [22:13] pw-toxic_: area51pilot have you checked the /etc/network/interfaces file to see if its brings up eth0 correctly [22:13] pw-toxic_: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [22:13] Alright, I got it to work. [22:14] Had to click it like 50+ times though. [22:14] can anyone help with a alsa / 5.1 surround problem ? [22:14] How do I get my swap partition to become active at boot?

The reason I uninstalled it in the first place. [22:15] area51pilot, auto lo ... iface lo inet loopback (content of interfaces file) [22:15] Some time when I booted, it crashed the comp.

[22:20] is it normal that after a sec. upgrade my bootscreen look kinda old (not this ubuntu logo, only write: ubuntu 10.10) [22:20] what options should I set with the swap partition in fstab? [22:21] neil_d, area51pilot /etc/resolv.conf is empty.. is this normal? only "#Generated by Networkmanager" [22:21] psiklops: i'm not sure, the resolv.conf file is the one i edit [22:21] help-a-user, did you installed graphics drivers (ATI/nVidia) ?

[22:23] area51pilot, neil_d if i add nameserver 192.168.1.1 to resolf.conf, i can ping google.de [22:23] pw-toxic_: it should have a line... nameserver x.x.x.x ... in it, thou this wont be perminent [22:23] area51pilot, so why isnt dhcp setting the nameserver automatically?! [22:23] How could you, if booting from a livecd, disable access to all local hard-disks?

[22:24] luca or better yet, just type gconf-editor in your terminal, go to applets, metaticity [22:25] xpo3: already there.. [22:25] xpo3: I'm at button_layout, but I can't change it to switch to the right [22:25] pw-toxic_: area51pilot : how is the dhcp done.?.. is it done by a router etc.? [22:25] pw-toxic_: can u use any other ns? [22:25] <[1]ichi> hello [22:25] luca what do you have for button alyout? [22:26] pw-toxic_: DHCP usually broadcast by the router, yes [22:26] area51pilot, when i use 192.168.1.1 as a nameserver MANUALLY by setting a line "nameserver 192.168.1.1" into /etc/resolv.conf i can ping "google.de" [22:26] <[1]ichi> is there someone that use openbox? [22:26] luca it should be menu:minimize,maximize,close for right side [22:26] xpo3: "minimize,maximize,close:" - am just realising, should I have the colon on the left??

[22:26] ciao [22:26] area51pilot, 192.168.1.1 is the internet gateway and the DNS server which knows everything [22:27] How could you, if booting from a livecd, disable access to all local hard-disks (to local hard-disks, but not to cd/dvd-roms)? [22:27] <[1]ichi> ok, i'll try to explain my problem.. [22:27] psiklops, thanks for this link, but I have set the configruation as shown on this page.. the thing is i cant udnerstand why my ubuntu doesnt use the default nameserver ip address it is broadcasting and which works on a windows machine [22:28] brb .... Windows users beckon... [22:29] pw-toxic_: it does on my setup... I would look at the configuration of the network and "network manager" [22:29] i have dont something with the fonts now, and i cant seem to browse webpages. anyone know if there is some way to fix the fonts? [22:29] <[1]ichi> i'm using openbox with pcmanfm.. when i logon i got my desktop like i want but the problem is that i can't use the openbox original menu.. when i right click i've got pcmanfm optione and not the openbox menu..

[22:55] pw-toxic_: what are u using to manage your webserver then? [22:55] How do i see if my server is 64 or 32 bit? [22:55] area51pilot, the thing is that im not really sure about the manual use of iptables.. do you know a good tool which helps me using iptables?

[22:57] area51pilot, i would be really pleased if you can tell me a programm that helps me setting up firewalls.. opening ports.. forwardings.. setting up NAT etc without needing to have sex with the iptables command line tool [22:57] area51pilot, iptables is really not human useable.. ;) not for me [22:57] aeon-ltd: thanks, i686 is 32 bit, right? [22:57] Pilif12p: yeah x86 = 32bit x64 = 64bit [22:57] alright [22:58] aeon-ltd, can you tell me why x86 is not x32? i really dont understand this [22:58] pw-toxic_: dude use gufw then [22:58] aeon-ltd, i cant find an entry in the wiki for gufw ;( what is this? [22:58] pw-toxic_: because ix86 as in i686 i386 they're just architechture names [22:58] pw-toxic_: I agree, there are a few tools out there, gShield is a good one [22:59] pw-toxic_: gufw = gui frontend to ufw [22:59] area51pilot, i think i tried gshield and it didnt work for me.. so im still running manual command line ip table shit [22:59] aeon-ltd, found it.. i will look at the wiki page.. maybe this tool is interesting [22:59] aeon-ltd, do you know if i can install this tool without chaning any of my current configuration?

Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. Have server connected via HDMI to monitor. Installation was no prob, but on boot, it doesn't seem to output console to HDMI. I can only SSH in to see that the boot went fine. Don't want X. How to output to HDMI? [23:17] Also, I previously had a very minimal (no X) Debian Squeeze installation that output to HDMI automatically after install, but Ubuntu Server 10.04 seems to need some further configuration to get it to do so. What files should I even be looking at? There is no xorg.conf. [23:18] brian: you have to make a xorg.conf [23:18] it'll auto-configure otherwise [23:18] But if I don't have x installed, how do I create an xorg.conf (or where should I put it?) [23:19] noname_, robin0800; do you guys even have compiz installed? [23:19] hey guys i do w in terminal and i see two users both same name and beside them are tty7 and pt/0 what are those? [23:19] brian, is it a setting in BIOS [23:20] I do see output via HDMI from the BIOS on boot, but once GRUB2 takes over the screen goes black. [23:20] ubottu, hi! [23:20] Hi, im just upgrading from ubuntu 10.4 to ubuntu 10.10 and i get the following error: "configuring libc6: The following services could not be restarted for the NGU libc library upgrade: atd cron"... what does this mean? [23:20] I never even see the grub menu and it just boots the first entry. [23:21] Dwade09, pt* means a text terminal in X [23:21] noname_: yes and just found compiz-check using google [23:21] brian, at the moment the screen goes black, press esc... [23:21] Dwade09, i believe there's one too for graphical.. [23:21] yagoo, and the tty7? [23:22] Dwade09, X runs on tty7-- (ctl-alt-f7) [23:22] ah thank you yagoo [23:22] Ok, I'll try that. And after pressing ESC? Anything else? [23:22] :ok i'm gunna googlin dat [23:22] Dwade09, fedora has started using tty1 for X.. but tty7 is common for X [23:22] brian: maybe shift key [23:23] thank you yagoo so much [23:23] brian, try pressing it a couple times just as the screen is about to go black and see if you get the grub selection screen... [23:23] pw-toxic_: libc tries to restart services that use it when it's being upgraded. it couldn't do that for atd and cron for some reason. you should restart the computer anyway when you're done upgrading, but now you should definitely restart ;) [23:23] Dwade09, it's also very customizable-- pretty much any distro u can change the tty# X loads on.. [23:23] I have been running brag for about 3 hours now on one newsgroup that has 400,000 subjects. It has not begun downloading anything yet and it has shown me no progress report. Should I keep waiting or is this abnormal? [23:24] rww, ok then i can just ignore this error - thanks [23:24] pw-toxic_: yeah [23:24] Dwade09, even if you messing around with some mystical distro and ur using plain text console-- u can use ctl-alt- to find where X is.. [23:24] blackshirt and CrimsonIdol, tried repeatedly pressing ESC and shift just now and nothing changed. I can log in via SSH already, so it's booted, but still won't let me see it... [23:24] rww, omfg.. upgrading to 10.10 takes 6 hours.. arghs [23:24] eep [23:25] Upgrading to 10.10 only took around 45min for me :o [23:25] Then again I am on a decent connection with an alright laptop :) [23:25] brian, what version again? [23:25] 10.04 LTS server AMD64 [23:26] I only installed SSH-server and virtualization from tasksel [23:26] Is anyone having problems with firefox since the last update? === miguel_ is now known as Guest61811 [23:26] What really puzzles me is that Debian Squeeze with a VERY minimalist install was able to output to HDMI automatically. What are they doing differently? [23:27] brian, you may have to alter grub to show the kernel selection screen. Try in #grub [23:27] Are the startup applications set through the GUI truly run at startup or only at login? [23:28] brian, it's not debian it's the whole OSS community improve X all the time.. [23:28] lol [23:28] blah213hi, I know apache runs whether I login or not... [23:28] ubuntu is wierd..i created a new user peter and I cant chown things in my own home folder..it asks for sudo password! [23:28] why do I have to be sudo to modify stuff in my own home dir? [23:29] CrimsonIdol: is apache set for you through that gui? [23:29] (system=>preferences=>startup applications) [23:29] blah213hi, well... you can check which processes are running with a small terminal app sysv-rc-conf you install that and start it with sudo sysv-rc-conf... scroll with arrows and disable or enable with space bar...the first tick box of each is what is ticked and if untikced it is active [23:29] blah213hi, it set itself during install... [23:30] blah213hi, for example ,, having a desktop ,, I disable pcmcituils from there and also bluetooth [23:30] blah213hi, next time you reboot t hose processes will h ave been disabled [23:30] coz_: I'm aware. I'm not supposed to restart this system, though, so I can't see if this actually runs at boot or not. === con-man_ is now known as con-man [23:30] blah213hi, ah === con-man is now known as con-man_ [23:31] blah213hi, you can try in terminal pstree -p | more to see what is running [23:31] CrimsonIdol: but does it show up among the startup applications on that list? [23:31] coz_: why would that matter? === con-man_ is now known as con-man [23:31] blah213hi, I may have misread your question === con-man is now known as con-man_ [23:32] coz_: there's a program i want to run at every startup rather than at every login. how can i ensure that it works as expected? === con-man_ is now known as con-man [23:32] blah213hi, ah I did misread it ..sorry... let me check to be sure [23:33] blah213hi: you can check the upstart man page or check the file /etc/rc.local [23:34] blah213hi, no it does not [23:35] uh, hi all....im looking to setup a dual boot system of ubuntu/win7 & i'd like to obtain a guide or some really good advice as to how it should be done - help anyone? [23:36] where is X etc started in my ubuntu? [23:36] Pezcore, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [23:36] blah213hi, well maybe if you added a command to the /etc/rc.local script it should run at start up instead of login ...but how to tell it is doing that I have no idea...however.... you could go to ##linux channel and ask there... they have a broader base of information [23:36] hi everybody, is it generally possible to install fonts with .fon extension on ubuntu 10.04? [23:36] can you suggest me a instruction how to do that? [23:36] JSEC - > cheers i'll look it up [23:36] Pezcore, np === lolo is now known as lolo2 === lolo2 is now known as lolo3 [23:38] CrimsonIdol: alright, thanks [23:38] coz_: hmm. i think cron is the only way to do it without root access, correct?

[23:39] now for something different... a ubuntu question! so, im running out of disc space, and in an effort to gain some back, perused through / and came across /proc which totals 128TB... now, i dont even HAVE 128TB worth of storage, its just a 64GB SSD... and insights as to whats going on, and how i can clean it up, and maybe get some disc space back? [23:40] How do you enable Visual Effects for all accounts 'made/will be made' on a computer using UNE 10.04 [23:40] Sterist, what's wrong with gimp? [23:41] i've had bad experiences trying to use it's features [23:41] gimp is amazingly good, though will take some getting used to. [23:42] i mean... i can cope with it but it's just not practical imo [23:42] Sterist: if you have the time, I like the blog meetthegimp. He is really good at giving tips on using gimp. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:42] Sterist: the only other thing you might want to try would be Krita. the rest, just not worth even getting a look at.

[23:46] Aer: restrict the up an down speeds reserved for transmission [23:47] Aer, not a bug, inconsiderate behaviour of BOTH problems i think. [23:47] tried that doesnt help [23:47] oh...

[23:50] Aer: on what grounds have the #wine people said it's an ubuntu problem? has any of them had positive experience world of warcrafting AND pulling torrents? [23:51] Aer, you probably have the WoW/Transmission virus... [23:51] Aer, What problem do you get with WoW? [23:51] i dunno but they wont really help me any further they say its not a wine problem [23:51] Aer: i don't know world of warcraft specifically, but online games tend to do a bit of checking on the system in general. in particular, perhaps something goes wrong there... [23:52] it lags like hell when i use Transmission at the same time Linear4, but i have capped the speeds of transmission and it still kills wow speed when i have plenty of bandwidth left [23:52] does changing a single flag require a whole kernel compilation? [23:52] CrimsonIdol, WoW/Transmission virus ??? [23:52] SianaGearz, wow works perfect in wine when Transmission is closed though [23:52] Aer: don't take everyone seriously. [23:53] can anyone help me im pretty fucked [23:53] Aer: there are a couple of things to exclude... [23:53] SianaGearz, its only when I open transmission and start a torrent i get the problem and i have tried capping the speeds to leave plenty of bandwidth for wow and it still kills the speed [23:53] Aer, so why not just pause transmission while playing WoW? [23:53] becuase then i can only do one thing at once, id prefer to use windows if i can do more than one thing at once lol [23:53] Aer: what port(or ranges) does wow occupy?, i heard the updates were p2p but i'm not sure about the whole game [23:54] !language | StrikerST [23:54] StrikerST: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:54] hi everybody [23:54] i cant remember what ports it uses but it is fully updated i updated it befoer i started would it still bea problem ? but yeah wow is p2p for updates but you can turn p2p off and download direct from wow servers which is what i do [23:54] Aer~sama! Have you considered, or tried using an alternative torrenting client? [23:55] StrikerST: your windows partition corrupted ?? [23:55] blackshirt: backwards. his ubuntu partition is. [23:56] sorry, nobody responded last time, asking again. so, im running out of disc space, and in an effort to gain some back, perused through / and came across /proc which totals 128TB... now, i dont even HAVE 128TB worth of storage, its just a 64GB SSD... and insights as to whats going on, and how i can clean it up, and maybe get some disc space back? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2220265/%21Temp/proc.PNG [23:56] are there any toher good linux native torrent clients other than Transmission Linear4 ? [23:56] i just did an upgrade to 10.10 and lost the network manager applet icon on the top panel -- "add to panel" doesn't display network manager -- how do I get the icon back? [23:56] SianaGearz: i dont think so.. he is using wubi for his ubuntu.. not dedicated linux partition.. [23:56] Aer You can try rtorret, or deluge. Search synaptic. [23:56] aaah ok... [23:56] Aer: rtorrent but its cli [23:57] Aer, my favorite is Qbittorrent. [23:57] hmm id prefer one with a gui for now since im still new to linux and still learning all the CLI :( [23:57] SianaGearz: i think, placed linux on windows filesystem is stupid ... [23:57] Companion-Cube, Try the command df -hT [23:57] Companion-Cube, have you looked at the files? [23:58] CrimsonIdol: yes, but i not exactly sure what IS in them. i didnt place anything in there... [23:58] can Qbittorrent and deluge use a IP Block List like Transmission does ? [23:58] Companion-Cube, That is, if you are trying to get the disc space. [23:58] i have a question: i installed ubuntu on my laptop and would like to show my friend how insecure his WEP wireless is but i can't use the aircrack-ng paket. i try to install it with apt-get install aircrack-ng but it says it can't be found. do i have to be connected to the internet? can me someone help on that please [23:58] linear4: well, i dont even know if they are safe to delete.. what does df -HT dO? [23:58] domdom, Connected to the Internet for what? [23:59] Companion-Cube, show us a list (some) [23:59] to download the aircrack-ng paket? [23:59] domdom: yes..you must connected to internet, or if you have dvd/local repository, you wouldn't need connected to internet [23:59] Companion-Cube, no, don't delete anything in /proc as far as I know about it. df -hT will show available space for your drives. === geazzy is now known as Guest62298 [23:59] SianaGearz, Linear4 can Qbittorrent and deluge use a IP Block List like Transmission does ? [23:59] CrimsonIdol: its a numerical #'d files going up, but ill grab a screen [23:59] domdom Yes you need Internet to sudo apt-get install things. [23:59] zacktu: its part of the indicator applet add that to the panel
