[00:00] that means when i put in the boot-cd in i wouldn't need the internet access? [00:00] Aer It may be able to. If not you can use something like iptables to do that. [00:00] hmm [00:00] i did everything with sudo, thanks [00:00] so much stuff to learn lol xD [00:00] but thanks, i will check them out [00:00] linear4: /dev/sda1 ext4 57G 46G 8.2G 85% / [00:00] is the output for that drive [00:00] hello all :) [00:01] Companion-Cube, ok, so, You are using 46 out of 57 GB on that drive, leaving you with 8.2G free. [00:01] Companion-Cube, is that about right for what you think you've used? 85% [00:01] no should be around ~34 GB used [00:02] Companion-Cube, and you figure that how? [00:02] Aer: i don't remember [00:02] ok, np i will find out :) [00:02] thanks anyway [00:03] Aer, why would you want to block ips from torrenting with you o.O? have enemies? [00:03] CrimsonIdol: thats what it was after i had finished configuring it [00:03] no but you know.. every now and then you might want to download a music track ... lol [00:04] how to make cluter view to default view in nautilus?? [00:04] Does anybody use Petit to edit syslogs? [00:05] Aer, sorry, i still don't understand. it's not like you can know who of your leechers might be malevolent and who are not... [00:05] ah, okay. i see i'm not alone: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/625670 [00:05] well with utorrent you can use an IP block list [00:05] how do i fast === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [00:05] and who fills the block list and with what? [00:05] which stops you connected to seeds who are known to be RIAA or whoever they are and other anti-p2p organisations [00:06] anyone have this problem where when you move an application from one screen to the next on your desktop your window-manager gets killed ? [00:06] so it reduces the chances of them getting your IP address to report you to your ISP and then get your real life details and getting a lawsuit coming through ytour letter box lol [00:06] oooooh that's so kindergarten. i'm sure they know how to get some random non-block IPs. [00:06] at least killed for a second.. [00:07] maybe they do but it stops me connecting to so many thousand IP's that will log my IP address and maybe take action [00:07] i heard they "investigate" from normal DSL lines here. [00:07] hmm what do they do to investigate the lines ? [00:07] the obvious. commit copyright infringement -.- [00:08] yes but i was wondering how they investigate the lines lol xD [00:08] FROM [00:08] not upon [00:08] oh, sorry lol === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:11] pastebin ? [00:12] can anyone tell me what the pastebin url was again.. [00:12] paste.ubuntu.com ? [00:13] anyway, thanks for the help and info guys [00:13] pastebin.com [00:13] but i need to log now [00:13] cya [00:13] Would really like some help here, I've asked a good half a dozen times so far with no response. How can I enable Visual Effects for all accounts on the machine, including ones that will be created, Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition. Thanks. [00:13] how do i get shockwave on ubuntu?? [00:14] tphive, I don't think you can do that... === skarufue_ is now known as skarufue [00:15] CrimsonIdol: Nothing via command line or anything? :\ [00:16] tphive, I really don't know of a way to preconfigure accounts unless there is some script that can be run post user creation. [00:16] tphive: i think /etc/skel is for that. [00:17] Sean93: There is no native shockwave for Ubuntu, only flash. You can try using wine following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave . [00:17] tphive: and guess what, i had no clue. i just googled for account templating -.- you could have done that too [00:17] I recently downloaded a 750MB movie using Transmission! The downloaded files end in .r01, .r02 etc. The movie [00:17] does not run with vlc media player, or movie player, can anybody solve my issue! [00:17] unrar [00:17] maujhsn, use unrar [00:18] OK [00:18] SianaGears: Searched with things like "enable visual effects all accounts" and whatnot, wasn't aware of any 'templating' thansk forthe keyword though. === patrick is now known as Guest38981 [00:19] tphive: same principle as on windows. create an account, preconfigure it, find where the crucial settings lie or strip away the uncrucial, and make this a default template for new accounts by copying to /etc/skel [00:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/525380/ === grumbl is now known as grumbl69 [00:19] tphive: Desktop effects are enabled by default in Ubuntu Desktop, and I thought they were with UNE as well (though using mutter as composite manager rather than compiz). [00:19] hello people === iConfused is now known as iConfused|Homerk [00:20] that was from a : *** glibc detected *** metacity: corrupted double-linked list: [00:20] i had this scenario PC (192.168.3.1) --- connected to ----- eth0 (192.168.3.5) Ubuntu Server eth1 (192.168.4.41) ------- connected to ---- webserver (192.168.4.42), now my problem is i cannot ping 192.168.4.42, how will i do it? [00:21] ciao === root is now known as Guest65921 [00:22] !ATi [00:22] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:22] mae_tae, from witch machine do you ping? [00:22] SianaGearz: Could you link me to something explaining how to do this in more detail, I'm not finding a whole lot yet. But taht's exactly what I want to accomplish. [00:23] tphive: you may want to have a look at gconf. I couldn't find a man page, but I do see a directory in /etc/gconf/2 that may have some files of interest to you. [00:23] skarufue, yes if im in ubuntu server, i can ping both sides [00:24] Jordan_U: on UNE it's off by default, and I have no idea what you're talking abuiot with 'mutter' or 'composit manager', but I do install compiz myself when setting it up. [00:24] mae_tae, ok you need bridging on your server (the one with the 2 interfaces) [00:24] skarufue, i ping from 3.0 network, from 3.1 host [00:24] mae_tae, let me find you a handy guide [00:24] skarufue, thanks [00:24] I've just re-installed meerkat netbook on a PC with an integrated Radeon 4200 HD chip, and upon installing the Additional ATi drivers, the whole computer begins to freeze up, the graphics stop working, and it doesn't boot properly. This is the second time this happens. Is there something wrong with the drivers? [00:26] skarufue, i thought its only a routing problem, by just adding static route to it, i really dont understand the characteristics of this linux, hehehe [00:26] jmills: Thanks, I'm looking into that now, might be what I'm looking for. [00:26] mae_tae, witch version ubuntu server are you running? [00:26] skarufue, 10.04 [00:26] mae_tae, and yes in a sense it is a routing problem [00:27] Asked earlier about console output to HDMI (without X installed) and was sent to GRUB. They now think the nouveau driver is the relevant problem and sent me back here. [00:27] . [00:27] anyone know how to setup wicd to use display info on 2 wireless interfaces? [00:27] Anyone know anything about the nouveau driver--I've never even heard of it, but I see it throwing errors in /var/log/syslog [00:28] . [00:28] I get [drm] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: plugged DVI-D-1 (and other lines that say "unplugged" instead alternating over and over. [00:28] mae_tae, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [00:29] how many cores should I input at virtualbox setup with a 2 core i5? [00:29] skarufue, k thanks ill try it [00:29] mae_tae, i think that still applies. beware though you ight want to set the IP adresses for the individual interfaces not to 0.0.0.0 [00:29] pentester problity one since you have 2 correct? [00:29] skarufue, whats really is the problem of that? is that always the solution? [00:29] skarufue, im just curios, hehe [00:30] animeman you mean 2 right? [00:30] yes probability [00:30] I MAPPED MY CAPS TO BE ESC (GREAT FOR VIM) BUT I DID IT WHILE I WAS ON CAPS ON. HOW TO TURN MY CAPS OFF NOW? (WITHOUT RESTART) [00:30] skarufue, thanks, ill read it [00:31] Can someone help me determine what causes my audio to glitch like crazy when I have compiz enabled? [00:31] mae_tae, yeah well since your 2 interfaces are in 2 different subnets eg. 192.168.4.x and 192.168.5.x. you want them to have such an adress and not bove the same adress [00:31] anyone know how to configure wicd to use 2 wireless interfaces? [00:32] the chitowncubs you problity dont have enought processing power to have compiz on and audio i know it happens on my asus eee so that may be your issue [00:32] owen1: Start vim back up and turn it back off? [00:33] canthus13: I DID IT WITH xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 0x42 = Escape' [00:33] skarufue, ok, was it not just routing, so you mean that i always to have a router program to do that, so that i can have fix mind on this [00:34] animeman: thanks, meh :/ === Administ1ator is now known as king [00:34] thechitowncubs: yeah no prob === king is now known as Guest91599 [00:35] how do you do [00:35] skarufue, i was just thinking before that i just define static route directly, hehehe, am i wrong to this perception? [00:35] owen1: Seems to me that if you can paste the code you used, you should be able to reproduce it and simply tun caps lock back off. [00:35] owen1: Otherwise, rebooting would be faster... : ) [00:35] mae_tae, well no. but if you want to send traffic between subnets you can either bridge them together. meaning your server acts as a router between the subnets. or if you only have very specific traffic you could redirect it via IPtable rules. [00:37] canthus13: LET ME TRY [00:37] owen1: OKAY. ;) [00:37] canthus13: CAN I REPLACE THE WORD ESCAPE WITH LOCK? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [00:38] skarufue, i see, hehehe, actually what im trying to do is i want the hosts from 3.0 network to locally access the our information system, do i still need bridge program to that? [00:38] KEYCODE 0X42 = LOCK ? [00:38] That I'm not sure about.... Might have to be 'Lock' and not 'LOCK' [00:38] Hey all [00:38] I moved my system from Windows 7 to Ubuntu and everything works perfectly it seems except the touchpad... this does not work at all. It is an electro-static multi-touch pad for the Sony Vaio VPCEB33FM/BJ Model. Any help would be much appreciated. [00:39] mae_tae, well bridging would enable you to do that yes. [00:39] sdwrage use a usb mouse! [00:39] owen1: by the way, congratulations for being the first person in several years i've been here whose claim of "MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK IN CAPS MODE, HELP!" is probably founded :P [00:39] mae_tae, and is the easiest way in my opinion. [00:39] maujhsn: Meh. I'm sure he'd rather use the touchpad. [00:39] ... yeah [00:39] LjL: Hah. [00:39] agreed [00:39] if im using the generic pae kernel do I need anything extra to enable virtualization for vbox? [00:39] hi guys, im trying to connect to another server without authenticating, so i copied my id_rsa.pub to the target's /home/user/.ssh/authorized_key , but it wont work. surprisingly though, if i copy into /root/authorized_keys, i can login as root no problem. what am i doing wrong here? [00:39] mae_tae, why do you need these different subnets? [00:39] My touchpad is crappy as well! [00:40] maujhsn: Many are. Synaptics is king of crappy touchpads. and gnome isn't always sane about the default sensitivity levels. [00:40] canthus13, cant even get this one to work [00:40] doesnt even show up in gpointer app [00:40] This is true...good luck! [00:41] sdwrage: Does it show in lsusb, lshw, or lspci? [00:41] lemme see [00:41] You might want to check in your syslogs! [00:41] skarufue, actually thats the design our network, we have 2 separate dsl lines, 1 dsl line is dedicated to 3.0 network as well as the other to 4.0, but our problem we want that 3.0 network to access directly locally our information system which is in 4.0 network [00:41] mae_tae, if you dont need the different subnets then you should certainly use bridging. just giving one ip to the 2 interfaces in your server machine [00:42] I get stuff all the time in syslogs [00:42] mae_tae, ok i get it [00:42] sdwrage: are you wreckz on the forums? [00:42] canthus13, no I am sdwrage [00:42] I asked the same question in ubuntu forums as well [00:42] mae_tae, then you shouldnt bridge those two networks since you would be in a shitload of problems then [00:42] sdwrage install the usb mouse first! [00:43] skaruefue, so whats the solution to that [00:43] ... maujhsn ... I have a usb mouse... or I wouldnt be on here [00:43] mae_tae, do all computers run linux in your network? [00:43] Sorry! [00:43] 3.0 are ubuntu's while 4.0 are windows [00:43] skarufue, 3.0 are ubuntu's while 4.0 are windows [00:43] sdwrage: Just saw another post about the same model on the forums... no answers, though. [00:43] hm [00:43] Hi guys. [00:44] Anyone ever saw this one before. [00:44] sdwrage you may be missing somthing in your kernal [00:44] mae_tae, hm. well i would tie them together in a VPN network [00:44] skarufue, but our information system servers are all ubuntu's [00:44] Installing Ubuntu on a dell 1950 version 3 with a ir 6 sas contorler. [00:44] Ubuntu installs ok but on reboot the system will not boot. [00:44] Tried both 32 and 64 bit versions with the same ending. [00:44] skarufue, our servers like dns, webserver, information system are all linux [00:44] khronos whats it saying? [00:45] canthus13, I will gist my lspci output if you would like [00:45] skarufue, including also proxy, squid [00:45] skarufue, i need just that specific request [00:46] mae_tae, http://openvpn.net/ install the server on your server. and the respective windows/linux clients on all othe computers. let the server listen on both interfaces. [00:47] animeman, canthus13, https://gist.github.com/981d9429c0750bbe3ee3 [00:47] can any of you glean some information from that output? [00:47] skarufue, what if linux to linux? anyway our server is linux, the one to be requested by 3.0 network (the information system) [00:48] hi guys! Just booted from live cd image on usb drive. Can anyone tell me where the usb drive is mounted? [00:48] mae_tae, does every computer from 3.x need to see every computer in 4.x or do they all need to see one specific server? [00:49] lucas /media/(drivename) [00:49] skarufue, not necessary, only request to the information system server [00:49] i was wondering if if anybody could help me set up gnome-terminal in order to correcly display ansi art or "high ansi" line drawing [00:49] Hi everyone can I get help with ubuntu server and GRUB in this channel? [00:49] Jake_: yes, just ask [00:49] !ask | Jake_ [00:49] Jake_: 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. :-) [00:50] mae_tae, ok. and the information system server is the one with the 2 interfaces? [00:50] bonsoir comment on fait pour rejoindre le groupe en français? [00:50] whatsup guys [00:50] quick question, hope someone here can help me [00:50] how does one go about replacing pulseaudio with alsa on 10.10? [00:51] shitshit help; i apt-get installed' samba4 and i think it overwrote whatever UNR came with and screwed up my filesharing hallppppp :O [00:51] good evening, im having an issue with ubuntu 10.10. when running empathy i am getting GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Empathy' is not installed [00:51] animeman: this was the first place I looked for, but it is not there. There seems to be only cdrom [00:51] Hi, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when I boot it stops at the command line. If I wait several minutes, gdm starts, the keyboard dies and the screen is blank. Does anyone know what the problem is? I am running a intel core i3 with IGP. [00:51] skarufue, yes, it has also 2 interfaces for public and private but its separate server, not the one that presented earlier, its completely separate server [00:51] anybody even know what a settings schema is? or how i can get to it [00:51] I am trying to reset the UN and PW on ubuntu server 9.10, I can probably guess the PW but need to atleast retreive the UN. [00:52] lucas_ : can you open a terminal and run the command df -h? [00:52] mae_tae, is it in either the 4.x or 3.x range? [00:52] im assuming its some kind of database thing [00:52] Is the firefox that can be installed via "the menu" on 10.04 does it come with Add-ons already installed? [00:52] lucas_ : this should show you the mounted partitions. [00:52] psycho23: what addons do you want? [00:52] skarufue, its in 4.0 network [00:52] sky needs to die [00:52] I'm unable to list SMB shares on my school's network, though I can access them manually. Can anyone help me with this (I am not at school right now so I can't try things right now)? [00:53] jrib: well it's not that, it's just...the way Ubuntu's firefox opens new tabs right beside each other is a feature that I want to add to Debian's iceweasel, and I don't know how Ubuntu added that feature. [00:53] lucas_: also 'mount' will show you the mounted filesystems [00:53] oraqol http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-switch-to-alsa-or-oss-instead-of.html try that [00:54] jmills: I see it as /dev/sdb1 mounted on /cdrom [00:54] anybody know what a settings schema is? [00:54] psycho23: maybe #firefox can help you better. There's an ubuntu add-on but I think it's mainly for plug-in installation and apt-integration [00:54] nobody knows how to get a standard vga font with ibm font encoding to work in gnome-terminal ? [00:54] britt a schema is a set way of things but im not compleatly sure lol [00:54] mae_tae, ok you need to setup a static route with IPtables [00:54] jmills: found it. Another question... Is it writable? [00:54] lucas_ : /dev/sdb1 is probably the device of your usb drive and it is showing it is mounted at /cdrom. Is this what you wanted to know? [00:55] sdwrage: Hmm.. you might revert back to 10.04... There appear to be issues in 10.10 with that touchpad. [00:55] animeman: yeah its a database of some sort [00:55] britt: why do you want to change it? [00:55] well im not wanting to [00:55] lucas_ : I'm not sure if it is. You could try opening Nautilis, hitting keys Ctrl+l and typing in /cdrom. Then try to create a folder and see what Nautilis tells you. [00:56] skarufue, thats actually want im doing, i do like this sudo route add -net 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.3.5 [00:56] animeman: im not really wanting to. when starting empathy im getting GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Empathy' is not installed [00:56] sdwrage: try booting with a Lucid CD and see if it works there. [00:56] Hi, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when I boot it stops at the command line. If I wait several minutes, gdm starts, the keyboard dies and the screen is blank. Does anyone know what the problem is? I am running a intel core i3 with IGP. [00:56] britt: reinstall it that would be my first attempt [00:56] jmills: (I booted off this usb drive from an iso on it. Just want to have access to the rest of the drive) [00:56] Can anyone help with reseting the UN and PW on ubuntu server 9.10, I can probably guess the PW but need to atleast retreive the UN. I have tried the edit mode in GRUB but cannot figure out where to add (rw init+/bin/bash) [00:56] animeman: same thing after re-installation. lemme try it again [00:57] skarufue, but it seems it doesnt work, from 3.0 network it can only sees 3.5 and 4.41 but not cannot go beyond 4.41? hehehe, i dont how to allow it [00:57] Woah so problem! [00:57] Wicd can see my network but it won't get an IP, what? [00:57] skarufue, will this also iptables matter? [00:57] britt: how are you excuting it [00:57] animeman: well first thru the applications menu [00:57] then in a terminal window [00:57] lucas_ : I see. You can try what I suggested with Nautilis (the file manager), or from the termial you can try the command "cd /cdrom && touch test.txt". This would try to create an empty file in the /cdrom directory. [00:58] with my user --- so there's no issues with permissions or whatnot [00:58] how do I know if i have the proper video drivers? [00:58] jmills: Got it! as it seems I can write on it only with root privileges. Thanks for your help! [00:59] lucas_ : I'm thinking the usb drive is mounted like a cd iso, which would be read only. [00:59] aussa, /var/log/Xorg.0.log or something like that should have it in it [00:59] lucas_ : cool. [00:59] mae_tae, no that seems to be a netmask matter [00:59] aussa: what is your devices ?? [00:59] jrib: can you help with resetting the UN and PW on ubuntu server 9.10, I can probably guess the PW. I need help retreiving the UN. [00:59] Jake_: ls /home [00:59] mae_tae, if you can see computers below a certain range from .3.x in .4.x that is [00:59] animeman: same thing [01:00] !password | Jake_ [01:00] Jake_: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [01:00] skarufue, actually both networks are unsubnetted, they only 255.255.255.0 [01:00] animeman: purged telepathy-logger (a pre-requisite) and empathy [01:00] animeman: reinstalled with apt. same error [01:00] jrib: does that apply to Ubuntu Server? [01:00] Jake_: yes [01:00] jmills: any idea how I could make this more accessible? meaning having a link on the desktop that points to the drive AND having privileges to write on it? [01:00] mae_tae, that is very starnge then. do you have any wierd iptable rules in place already? [01:00] здрасте [01:01] im having some trouble whit my apache web server [01:01] britt: well then it seems to be a bug its on launch pad [01:01] when im trying to see status / restart it / start it i get this output [01:01] 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars [01:01] anyone knows how i can fix this ? [01:01] skarufue, none, actually i also issued this command iptables -F [01:02] canthus13, yeah... I should try that... [01:02] but what would that gain me? [01:02] :P [01:02] animeman: nice :( [01:02] any other way to kill ssh-agent? neither kill -s 9 or ssh-agent -k are working [01:02] britt: sorry you may want to try pidgin it works about as good [01:02] blackshirt: it's just that when I had ubuntu the games ran fluidly, and now, I installed kubuntu, and it isn't that way.... :S [01:02] animeman: downloading it now :) [01:02] animeman: i use it at work [01:02] britt: =] [01:03] skarufue, does this need example resolve.conf, or dns? [01:03] animeman: thanks for your help dude [01:03] lucas_ : Yes, you probably should create a folder and change the permissions on the folder using root. For example, the following command in the terminal could be used to create a folder using root. "cd /cdrom && sudo mkdir MyFolder && sudo chown 1000:1000 ./MyFolder". [01:03] britt: yeah no prob but you should get skype its better lol [01:03] animeman: ive got some peeps on AIM and some peeps on Gchat [01:04] lucas_ : 1000:1000 is assuming your uid and gid were 1000. You can find out your uid and gid by typing id lucas_ in the terminal. [01:04] animeman: i'm trying to convert them to the dark side that is skype lol === Monomium is now known as Guest31981 [01:04] britt: ah i c well just puiting it out there lol [01:04] animeman: Thanks though [01:04] britt: yeah no prob [01:04] at least this room is active. the PPC room is dead [01:05] man i need to get wicd working so i can get synergy up [01:05] Hello. I was connected to my pc via ssh. I lost connection and I would like to see what was on the terminal before loosing conection. I can see the process is still running (ps -ef) but assinged to a different pts (which I am not sure what it is), but it says pts/5 [01:06] why would i be unable to get an ip but able to see my network and start a connection? [01:06] I upgraded my netbook from lucid->maverick in the beta phase, and a friend's netbook after final release. When she opens the applications screen, she has a "recently used apps"section, I don't have. What should I do to make it appear? [01:06] aidrocsid: it may be a dhcp problem?? [01:06] aidrocsid: magic. or caching on your browser [01:06] aussa: configure it manually === Pinako is now known as Pinna [01:06] i guess it might be dhcp, i can't get an IP [01:06] but I could on vista [01:07] aidrocsid: it may be a lost driver [01:07] aidrocsid: it may be a messed up driver [01:07] it lists a driver for my card [01:07] aidrocsid: try to run dhcpcd on your chard [01:07] jmills: nice suggestion. Seems to have problems with ownership, maybe has to do with the fact it is on a fat32 partition [01:07] card* [01:07] ok brb [01:08] mae_tae, well i am very confused now. could you maybe show me your /etc/network/interfaces from the server with the 2 interfaces [01:08] aidrocsid: do you plug into a modem or a router? [01:08] blackshirt: how do I do that? [01:08] Hello! [01:09] hi [01:09] aussa: is your graphic video working perfectly ? [01:09] g'night guys [01:09] night [01:09] lucas_ : Yep, I didn't think of that. Fat32 doesn't work with chown and chgrp commands. If you are looking in Nautilis, you should be able to right click on a file in the /cdrom directory and look at the tab called permissions to see who owns the files and folders. If FAT32 supports that. === Nayr is now known as ZZzzzzz [01:09] [01:09] mae_tae, and the output of sudo iptables -S [01:10] i tried installing the windows version of firefox so that i could play isketch (a shockwave game) but firefox freezes when i try to open the page. this is the terminal output http://paste.ubuntu.com/525392/ [01:10] blackshirt: yes it does, but it runs slowly when I play a not so demanding game :S [01:11] hey guys is there anything besides inotify-tools that will monitor /directories for changes deletes modifies and then allow me to execute a command [01:11] skarufue, ok ill copy the interface cnfig [01:11] a router [01:11] i'm connected to my router via ethernet right now [01:11] normally i use wifi [01:11] shadow98 watch ls /dir [01:11] shadow980: what's wrong with inotify? [01:12] jrib: it is preventing my machine from booting..when i remove the tools [01:12] it boots..i have this script set to start on boot though.. [01:12] airdrocsid: do you get a ipaddrsss on wifi? [01:12] shadow980: huh? [01:12] I upgraded my netbook from lucid->maverick in the beta phase, and a friend's netbook after final release. When she opens the applications screen, she has a "recently used apps"section, I don't have. What should I do to make it appear? [01:12] inotifywait -mrq --format %f -e close_write -e create -e delete -e move -e modify /etc /var/www | while read file; do /usr/sbin/csync2 -x >/dev/null 2>&1; done [01:13] that is in a shell script set to start on boot...when i boot it the system hangs and xe daemon [01:13] jmills: owner and group is root. Tried to change permissions of /cdrom to 1000:1000 but it sais that operation is not permitted. (Of course I used sudo...) ;) [01:13] when i reboot to recover console and apt-get remove inotify-tools the system boots again.. [01:14] shadow980: to answer your original question, there's incron. But how are you starting that script at boot exactly? (please use my nick and keep a response to one line) [01:14] so as long as it can't find an execute inotifywait it doesn't hang [01:14] rc.local [01:15] shadow980: presumably, your script is to blame, not inotify-tools? Or is that not true? [01:15] i couldn't tell you..but what i can tell you is i would be willing to pay you to look at it.. [01:15] skarufue, output of iptables -S is -P INPUT ACCEPT, -P FORWARD ACCEPT, -P OUTPUT ACCEPT, i look at the interfaces, no definition there of ip addresses, because i use the GUI to define the ip add [01:16] lucas_ : I think when the filesystem is FAT32, root owns the files and folders. You may wan to try the command "sudo chmod o+rw ./MyFolder". I don't know if it will change anything since it is FAT32, but I think you can try it. [01:16] skarufue, but if you want to look at ifconfig | less, it is defined there eth0 192.168.3.105, eth1 192.168.4.41 [01:16] i just need this to work tonight..i have been working non-stop on figure out a solution...i finally got a load balancer setup and 2 web servers and db...but this script is preventing me from going live.. [01:16] what should i do again? [01:16] dhcpdc [01:16] mae_tae, ok. so you are certain that you cannot acess adresses higher then .4.41 from .3.x? [01:17] shadow980: use incron, that's a nicer way to do what you want anyway [01:17] ok [01:17] so its part of the inotify package [01:18] skarufue, yes [01:18] skarufue, yes, i cannot access beyond that 4.41 interfaces example like 4.250 [01:19] i tried installing the windows version of firefox so that i could play isketch (a shockwave game) but firefox freezes when i try to open the page. this is the terminal output http://paste.ubuntu.com/525392/ [01:20] jmills: command did not report any error. Just have to restart to see if it is working. Please stay a bit, I have some ideas I want to discuss with an expert! ;) [01:20] mae_tae, i am sorry but you problem is to wierd for me. i am low on sleep. maybe someone else can help. also you might want to make a small drwing of your network with machines and ips. to ilustrate for future guys [01:20] lucas_ : I would not call me an expert. I'll be around for a little longer. I'm waiting on something to finish. [01:21] Hi guys, do we have any expert when it comes to 'screen'? I have a major issue here writing my script and its slightly annoying me. I am trying to send a command into a screen using this: screen -x screen_name -X eval stuff "blabla_some_command\015" - but the problem I have here is that it only sends that comand to the particular screen when I personally attach to it [01:21] skarufue, ok, hehehe, thanks [01:21] exit [01:22] at which point is the x server started? [01:22] guys [01:22] am new to this [01:23] is there anyway to hack a computer [01:23] loody: many, none of which are helped with in this channel [01:24] so i cant get any help here [01:24] not with hacking computers [01:24] loody: this channel is only for ubuntu support [01:24] so where can i get help ? [01:24] yeah(but I cant talk b'cuz im asleep) [01:24] loody: but maybe with hack the program... linux has hackers culture [01:24] loody: not here... [01:25] loody: not here. [01:25] loody: maybe here.. [01:25] hi, my wifi is not working on my eee pc :( [01:25] it used to work fine [01:25] if anyone can help me please send me a message [01:25] blackshirt: we don't help with hacking computers, he asked about hacking computers and we do not help with that. Please drop the subject. === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [01:26] IdleOne: i don't say with hacking computers..but hack the programs..yes, hack the program was a unix/linux culture.. [01:27] Hi everybody [01:27] I'm a newbie [01:27] :D [01:27] what programs could i hack blackshirt [01:27] nmtri: i'm too.. [01:27] Where can I ask questions about the GPL? I'm working on someone else's GPL'ed program, and want to know what to do with their copyright line (e.g. "Copyright (c) 2007 TheirName"). Do I leave it even after I modify the code? [01:27] loody: do you have any specific Ubuntu support related question? [01:27] loody: stop talking about it. We've told you it's offtopic here several times already [01:27] I like Ubuntu and I want to ... [01:28] hi [01:28] yes what can i do with ubuntu [01:28] you can do anything ^^ [01:28] like [01:28] loody: you can modify/hack something packages under linux/ubuntu..makes it more better and distribute it to other.. [01:29] ok like a trainer for games ? [01:29] loody: maybe [01:29] jmills: it didnt work... came with another idea... sdb1 is already mounted. Can I remount it on another folder in /home applying some sort of mask? [01:29] I have a question [01:30] loody: maybe you want try backtrack4 linux distro..it is based on ubuntu for security testing, penetration testing and so on [01:30] a best IRC Software on ubuntu [01:30] what is it ? [01:30] nmtri: best client depends on your needs and how you use irc. [01:30] nmtri: i use 'weechat' mainly these days [01:30] nmtri: it was very subjective nmtri.. i think it based on your need and feel.. so try among other [01:31] Dr_Willis: I will try it. now I'm using Xchat but I don't like it [01:31] nmtri: i use 'Xchat" now [01:31] xchat rocks [01:31] blackshirt: Thanks [01:32] lucas_ : I think the FAT32 filesystem is going to limit you. You should be able to create a link to it in your home folder by running a command like "ln -s /cdrom /home/lucas_/MyLinkToCdrom". [01:32] is anyone from egypt here [01:32] hi, when i restart my network ,my etc/resolv.conf gets resetted and i dont have access to the internet anymore.. how can i fix this? [01:32] How i can hide a join/quit status on screen [01:33] anyone from egypt ? [01:33] lucas_ : The command I just told you about will not correct the permission issue. [01:34] hi all [01:34] loody: anybody here is from all around the world.. maybe you might try to join community on your area [01:34] hi peter_ [01:34] jmills: I know...

[01:40] peter__, 你知道如何使用pastebin？ [01:41] kraylus: perhaps check the cedega forums. You just dont hear much about cedega these days. Ubuntu forums also may have some info. [01:41] peter__, well i dont care. post the console output to any pastebin. [01:41] kraylus: you are the first person to mention cedega in a Long time that iveseen in this channel. [01:41] Dr_Willis, i did. there's a workaround, but its flaky. and its old. i spose im SOL, eh? [01:41] kraylus: proberly. Ive not needed cedega in years. [01:41] Dr_Willis, yes well, wine doesnt work for the game im playin [01:42] kraylus: you should talk to cedega folks about it [01:42] peter__, or just install the missing dependencie. by installing the -dev version of whatever library youa re missing [01:42] Dr_Willis, anyone get peggle working in wine by any chance? [01:42] ok now that i actually ahve a second, i can see my network but i can't get an IP using WICD.

[01:43] * mnajem got it using CPU usage almost 100% [01:43] yea, deluxe is what i have. went and bought the package deal cuz i KNOW ive had it work in the past [01:43] anybody able to help me with writing an incron script or something here [01:43] kraylus: with a lot of the popcap games like that. it seems it cen depend on 'where' you got the game. Steam, store, online, 'cracked' versions.. can work or not work... [01:44] shadow980: did you read the man page? It has several examples [01:44] skarufue, compile depend problem [01:44] im on the website documentation is small [01:44] peter__, do you have english console output? [01:44] Dr_Willis: the cracked version worked great on ubuntu 8. decided to play the legit version on 10.10 and it works fine so long as im not doin fullscreen [01:45] shadow980: I'm not pointing you to the web page, I'm pointing you to a man page and explicitly telling you it is informative [01:45] Dr_Willis: but the edge of the windows is cutoff cuz of the virtual desktop and i cant access all of the buttons [01:45] shadow980: I assume you're familiar with normal cron? [01:45] kraylus: a lot can depend on the driver and wine versions.. theres numerous wine configs that may tweak it into working better. [01:46] kraylus: theres one wine config to define the desktop size ive had to use for some games int he past. [01:46] can i download a config thats known to work and just plug it in? [01:46] not very wine savvy [01:46] kraylus: read up at the wine app database. and you may want to check out that 'playonlinux' tool/front end to wine.

[02:13] jrib so start it with incrontab [02:13] [1]ichi: my understand was when one clicks on the share folder, if samba or NFS isn't installed,it willinstall and configure itself, instead of me manually installing samba and having to configure it.

[03:48] shalim, yes [03:48] well sudo lets you act as an i#administrator so and chmod lets you change the permissions of stuff+x means to set the executable bit. so what you could do is: sudo chmod +x "/media/Games/Games/Diablo II" [03:48] what if we are both logged in as root [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] how long should it take to compress 20GB of data to .tar.xz [03:48] i've got a 2.33GHz [03:48] <_jesse_> shadow980: you'll need to specify the terminal [03:49] i did talk root pts/2 [03:49] error on read from talk daemon [03:49] freezway, part of that depends on your processor and such, but 20 gigs? A while [03:49] Draqul, like hours? days? [03:50] freezway, a couple of hours, at least === richard is now known as Guest61531 [03:50] Maybe a day - I've never done anything that large [03:50] Draqul, its been at it for 3 ours [03:51] <_jesse_> shadow980: hmm, try `write root pts/2` [03:51] freezway, oh yeah, I'd say it's still getting started [03:51] you don't have write permissions [03:51] write permission turned off [03:51] meh.... [03:51] maybe I'll just quit [03:51] go with gz [03:51] its faster [03:52] <_jesse_> shadow980: would not expect that error message :/ [03:53] howdy! [03:53] so, like, i have a problem with a recent install on a netbook.. anyone mind lending a hand? :] [03:53] !ask | esworp [03:53] esworp: 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. :-) [03:54] Okay - network manager fails to work after returning from a suspend or hibernate. [03:54] or, at least,wireless does.. havent tested ethernet. [03:55] <_jesse_> shadow980: do `man write` and make sure you're running the right program [03:55] shadow980: default access on write command is off..if you don't have permition access [03:55] esworp: probably just takes time to reconnect to the AP [03:55] <_jesse_> ah or that [03:55] nah, gave it lots of time. [03:55] nevermind guy finally read his email [03:55] Hello, What is a good CLI email client? i just wanna check google and AOL with out opening browser or bulky programs [03:55] it doesnt even try. [03:56] starn, mailx, claws... [03:56] ty Draqul i remember you too. [03:56] =P [03:56] <_jesse_> starn: I've used mutt and enjoyed it [03:57] Draqul: i've learned how awesome CLI is!!! lol [03:57] i tried telling the system to unload the wifi driver upon suspend, and load it upon wake. [03:57] no dice, [03:57] starn, gratz. [03:57] esworp, rmmod , modprobe [03:57] also tried manually disabling networking prior to a suspend. didnt enable propery. [03:57] starn: pine [03:58] Yeah, pine is cool [03:59] What's the difference between write and wall? [03:59] starn, it is a shame that windows has moved so far from cli. When people come here [to linux] they are so intimidated by cli that they usually just give up and leave or never learn it. It's really not so bad, people just get addicted to GUI's. [03:59] Draqul: people should be able to remember the DOS days [03:59] those who are 25 and over [03:59] Linux gives you the best of both (GUI and CLI) [03:59] wheaty: wall = "write all" [04:00] it goes to every terminal [04:00] Draqul: only issue i have with CLI is my memory is crap i barely remember how to play my music join IRC and stuff [04:00] Nisstyre65, the sad thing is that not many people do. Or they're too young. I'm 23 and just barely remember 3.1 (my first OS) and dos shell [04:00] Random832: and write just goes to a specific user? [04:00] a specific terminal [04:00] Draqul: people like me with bad short and long term memories get along with GUIs [04:00] starn, that's not your memory - that's you just starting. In a year it'll be old hat. [04:00] if you pick a user it goes to the one they most recently logged in on [04:01] Draqul: i've been using ubuntu for about 3-4 years o.O [04:01] hey guys, really quick noob question [04:01] Draqul: I'm 19 and I remember using cli versions of windows [04:01] how the hell do i install the latest version of gparted [04:01] starn, I thought you were new(er) to cli? === mike is now known as Guest46691 [04:02] every time i run sudo apt-get install gparted it installs an old version that seems to crash on 10.10 [04:02] ah, heck.. i dont know what a module is. time to go hit the books. [04:02] Nisstyre65, I was raised with GUI's. I started on 3.0 and 3.1 around 3 (in a computer lab while Mom went to school). Just playing around and stuff. I think I was too addicted with GUI's to learn much about CLI's until I came to Linux. [04:02] Draqul: to CLI yes. i knew a few things like how to compile and stuff and couple comands for networks [networks my strong point] [04:02] anyone here able to help on a problem with setting up apache server on ubuntu? [04:02] tcsn: you'll have to compile it yourself (or find a ppa) if you don't want to use the version that ships with ubuntu [04:03] esworp, a module is basically a drive the computer loads to speak with a piece of hardware iirc [04:03] !ask | randimiller [04:03] randimiller: 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).

What is that... sounds familiar [04:04] the terminal of ubuntu is the same as the CMD.exe of windows ,has just even more possibilities, right? [04:04] Sideeffect, on the surface, yes. [04:05] how do i install google earth on maverick ? [04:05] lots more possibilities. :] [04:05] Sideeffect, cmd is a dos shell emulator whereas the terminal you're in (in ubuntu) is a bash (Bourne Again SHell) session === cisc0-guru is now known as carael [04:05] Sideeffect: the main difference is that the unix style interacts with ascii text files and not binary files and databases like windows [04:05] I had setup apache2 and it was working, but i had a pain with command line so I put webmin on and now the apache server will not let me get on certain pages... [04:05] !patience | cisc0-guru [04:05] cisc0-guru: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:06] while you DO interact with binaries in the terminal, you can "paste" them together to do things [04:06] best explanation I can give [04:06] Nisstyre65, nicely done [04:06] ya , that i understand :D haha ty [04:07] crud. video stuck in wrong format... [04:07] cisco-guru: just install google-earth [04:07] so how do i install linux-lowlatency [04:07] yah, i cant seem to find where the modules hide, to try and probe-ify the RTL8192E one.

[04:40] What's an easy way to make Ubuntu think that the videos folder on my external drive is the same one that's at ~/Videos? I don't have the room on my internal for everything, but I have a 1TB external. [04:40] I understand that it has something to do with symbolic linking, I think, but I have no idea what to do. [04:41] dunas, You could mount the external drive to ~/Videos [04:41] <_jesse_> but then any reads or writes to ~/Videos would go on the external [04:41] And? [04:41] <_jesse_> just thinking that it kinda sounds like you want to merge the libraries [04:41] <_jesse_> *he [04:42] <_jesse_> but if not [04:42] <_jesse_> mounting there would be best [04:42] _jesse_, if he has no room on the internal drive... how would merging help? [04:42] If you "merged" them, how would you know which file was on which device? [04:42] will_, I would, but I need to use it for a lot more than just videos, it's got a lot of documents, my music backup, and all that. What I really want is for the "Videos" folder on the external to be recognized in place of ~/Videos. I'd mount it there, but I run some software off the drive for space, and I don't want to mess -that- up. [04:43] dunas, You can create multiple partitions on your external drive. Or you can do your symlink. [04:43] <_jesse_> rinku_kokiri: fair enough, just clarifying [04:43] i want to start python but it's not in the list, some terminal command? [04:43] you could just mount the videos folder of the drive to ~/videos [04:43] dunas, ln -s /path/to/external/Videos ~/Videos [04:44] rinku_kokiri, Oh, I didn't know you could do that. How? [04:45] defoma? [04:46] i am getting one maybe two error messages right after my grub menu that flash so fast i cant catch them, nothing is listed in dmesg, and what ever the errors are it slows my boot down by 25-30 seconds.

[05:02] tibman: if you installed windows after linux, windows will overwrite your grub loader [05:03] no, i installed linux second... [05:03] tibman, is it BOOTMGR: unknown filesystem? Or just "Unknown Filesystem"? [05:03] or NTLDR for that matter. [05:04] stormx2, it just says "error: unknown filesystem" [05:04] tibtibman u can fix windows bootldr with windows recovery [05:05] it is pointing at the right hard drive too [05:05] windows recovery? you mean using the windows 7 disk? [05:05] Alright. If you go to System > Administration > Disk Utility and find your disk, does it list an NTFS filesystem? [05:05] tibman, please don't listen to Balsaq. he's recommending fixes that might break your system more. He doesn't even know what the problem is [05:06] Anyone using the nvidia 310M ? [05:06] thanks stormx2, I am in disk utility and it is listed [05:07] i had it happen to me, buntu blew out the windows bootloader [05:08] Balsaq shoud give way first to Stormx2 [05:08] hey guys anyone online? [05:08] tibman, are you familiar with pastebin? === kid__ is now known as kid__mummum [05:08] rohan, 1413 people [05:08] scriptwarlock, that is fine [05:08] Stormx2, the grub location is pointing at /dev/sbd1/, but it says it is mounted on "/media/OS" [05:08] i dont see the user bar lol :P [05:08] :D [05:08] stormx2, no what is pastebin? [05:09] #ubuntu: Total of 1414 nicks 1 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 1413 normal [05:09] tibman: That's okay. The /dev address is your hardware device. the /media bit is your mountpoint [05:09] rohan ^ [05:09] anyway anyone can tell me how to install rutorrent on ubuntu 10.04 desktop x32 edition [05:09] rohan, how did you got it? do you have its .deb? [05:10] stormx2, im reading up on pastebin, you think it might help? [05:10] nah ... i had tried in my previous setup :( but didnt get it [05:10] :/ [05:10] i follwed the scripts to install rtor with lib ... [05:10] but couldnt get it [05:10] tibman, alright. Could you do the following? Hit Alt+F2 and type "gedit /boot/grub/menu.cfg". Copy all the text, then open up a web browser and go to pastebin.com. Paste in the large input box, submit the form, and give me the link it gives you [05:10] rohan, do you have its source? did you got it in .tar.gz format? [05:10] I have a quick question... I'm planning to update from 10.04 to 10.10 and have a seperate home partition. Last time I did this I had to reinstall many of my programs (I'm assuming they were installed in /usr). Anyway I can avoid this during this update? Or should I just move /usr to a seperate partition, or just count it as a loss and reinstall? [05:10] so trying afresh again [05:11] yeah abhijit [05:11] !compile | rohan [05:11] i got it from a tar.gz [05:11] rohan: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:11] ohk i am trying it [05:13] stormx2, strange... I typed it in right but its a completely blank file [05:13] how do I ask a question on ubuntu's launchpad? I only seem to be able to answer them :p [05:13] after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 i get two welcome infos, one for 10.10 and below that again for 10.04.1 [05:13] ah [05:13] nm, found the link [05:13] :p [05:13] tibman: That's okay. One moment [05:13] there was an error during upgrade but a minor one that wouldnt do much but it didnt offer me to restart [05:13] Anyone have any advice for me? [05:13] I'm using mdadm to create a raid arary however it says that my /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd are in use by another raidarray but I can't find it, help? [05:13] tibman: Sorry, try "gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [05:14] (sans the quotes) [05:14] gqz: what your problems ? [05:14] Captain_Intern: what does "cat /proc/mdstat" say? [05:14] I'm planning to update from 10.04 to 10.10 and have a seperate /home partition. Last time I did this I had to reinstall many of my programs (I'm assuming they were installed in /usr). Anyway I can avoid this during this update? Or should I just move /usr to a seperate partition, or just count it as a loss and reinstall? [05:14] gqz: Upgrading shouldn't remove any of your programs, and your home partition being on a different partition makes no difference [05:15] It's been a while... but I think they were there but none of them worked. [05:15] gqz, if you're referring to installing 10.10 on top of 10.04, it'd be better to simply make a list of the programs you installed and then reinstall them when you boot back up. The behaviour of just backing up /usr is undefined [05:15] gqz: you should using safe-upgrade if you want no removal packages [05:15] stormx2, ok its a big file, here is the link: http://pastebin.com/utqDknW1 [05:16] vox, it says md0 recovery 5.4% [05:16] gqz: You can upgrade without re-installing. [05:16] !upgrade | gqz [05:16] gqz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:16] Captain_Intern: are sdb sdc sdd listed in the output? [05:16] Maybe I'm not quite sure what I'm talking about yet. When I installed 10.04 I just set which partitions get mounted and let it format all but the /home partition. [05:16] tibman: Alright, next step. Open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb". Could you then copy the output and pastebin it? [05:16] Thanks for the links [05:17] tibman, when you're prompted for a password, just type your normal user password and hit enter [05:17] vox, correct however its only formatted for 1 drive? [05:17] I should've been on IRC a long time ago. haha. I appreciate the help, it's late here, I'm going to sleep. [05:17] @gqz goodnight [05:18] @diagramma thank you [05:18] Stormx2, here is the new link: http://pastebin.com/qGNaF8QR [05:19] vox, did that make sense? [05:19] tibman: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [05:19] Captain_Intern: how do you mean [05:20] jordan_U: alright give me a min [05:21] vox, each drive is 750gb and when I look at the /dev/md0 it says 750gb ext4 out of 1.5tb [05:23] Captain_Intern: does it say [1/3] or [2/3] or something different?

[05:28] dj-ineedateam, use a usb drive [05:28] dj-ineedateam: there is also a link to order cd's there or use a flash drive [05:28] That is what im asking [05:29] When i go to order a CD === karthick87 is now known as Guest52352 [05:29] tibman: Can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"?

[05:30] Jordan_U: is it worth doing a grub-install, if there's a problem with GRUB's loading of windows on sdb1? [05:30] I need a date [05:30] vox, mdadm: An option must be given to set the mode before a second device is listed [05:30] Jordan_U, oh sorry, missed your previous comment [05:30] cd delivery is VERY slow if my memory serves correct [05:30] instead of installing updates from the update manager, how can i do this via terminal, sudo apt-get update .. doesnt seem to work [05:30] Captain_Intern: i've probably got my syntax wrong [05:31] dj-ineedateam: you would be better off going to a store and getting a usb drive [05:31] :/ Well dam it - i wish i could find my falsh drive [05:31] but i lose the dam things so much [05:31] dj-ineedateam: There are many ways to install Ubuntu. What can you currently boot from? [05:31] i have like 20 but i lost them all [05:31] Jordan_u, any way to remove it? here is the new output: http://pastebin.com/rCk7LJma [05:32] dj-ineedateam, if you're feeling adventurous you could do a netboot, or better still use wubi [05:32] last timei did wbui it broke hal.dll [05:32] eek [05:32] and failed to install [05:32] dj-ineedateam: or ask your local community team for one if you have one (and if you don't know if there is one, say where you are and I'll go find out) [05:32] tibman: That ouput looks correct. Follow this guide to restore the windows boot sector: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [05:32] USA WASHINTON STATE [05:32] rww got a link for community team listing?

I thought it might be from adblock or NoScript (though they normally don't cause trouble for me) but after disabling them the sites are still wrong. Anyone having trouble? [05:35] needhelp1: and to try for two: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/525485/ <- i just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and that package failed to upgrade/was never isntalled but aptitude cant remove it sincethe script cant find the files or sth? [05:35] needhelp1: the first command just updates the list of available packages. the second actually does updates. [05:35] i tried purging it but it still fails [05:35] jimlovell777: i was having some trouble with twitter earlier, i tried https:// and the problems went away [05:36] the purging throws the same file not found errors [05:36] Jygga: this is hacky, but try sudo touch /var/run/courier/authdaemon/pid.lock [05:36] jimlovell777: probably a caching issue [05:36] lofidellity: I'll give that a chance, see if it changes anything. [05:36] vox: how could I format the drives individually to be extra vanilla to avoid any data carry over? [05:36] Captain_Intern: brb [05:37] lofidellity: Hmm yea that fixed Twitter for me. Google webmasters is already a forced https connection though. Hmm... === pavi_away_home is now known as pavi_zyx [05:37] jordan_u, i hate to ask this, but how do I run testdisk, i already installed it.... [05:37] jimlovell777: try clearing your cache [05:37] vox, affirmative ghost rider [05:37] tibman: "sudo testdisk" [05:38] lofidellity: I will try manually but I already have Firefox set to delete everything on close [05:38] jordan_u, thanks again, you a saint [05:38] tibman: You're welcome. [05:38] rww i dont even have courier/authdeamon/ in /var/run [05:38] i dont think that package was actually installed before [05:38] lofidellity: Nope, didn't change anything doing it manually. [05:39] jimlovell777: Try "firefox --safe-mode" to rule out plugins completely. [05:39] jimlovell777: just kidding, i just checked firebug. looks like their cdn is misconfigured getting alot of 403's [05:40] Jygga: I'm guessing you used something other than update-manager or do-release-upgrade to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10? [05:41] nope gone straight from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10 using do-release-upgrade [05:41] jimlovell777: not sure about google webmaster, but that looks like the problem with twitter [05:41] hey guys, I have an ubuntu 8.10 server that I wish to get mysql running on but I have some trouble getting it up and running with the 'MySQL database server mysqld' failing to start, where do i begin on this? [05:42] going to restart, thanks again Jordan_u and stormx2 [05:42] lofidellity: Well it seems to be ok the last time I loaded it. I'll just wait it out, I was more or less curious if I was on my own or not [05:43] Jasuuki: what steps have you already completed? [05:43] Jasuuki: Personally the first thing I would do would be to upgrade to 10.04, which is an LTS release. [05:44] Jordan_U, lofidellity i can't do a dist-upgrade [05:45] Jasuuki: How are you trying to upgrade and what problem are you having? [05:45] it comes up with more errors, can't fetch the, errr, urls [05:45] lemme be more exact in a few seconds [05:48] Jygga: Try running "sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/courier-authlib-mysql_0.63.0-2_amd64.deb{,-bak}" then "sudo apt-get -f install" [05:48] ah ill try that [05:52] okay i'm stumped. i've been trying to move over a mysql data directory (140gb) to another server using rsync. the transfer speed is really slow. the command i'm using is rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh -razvc /path/path user@derpderp.com:/path/path. the problem is df -h on source path is 134G and so far after restarting rsync once df -h is 220G on destination. is there something wrong with my rsync options or is so [05:53] vox, I think I've got it [05:53] hey, got a bit of a problem, apt-get is hanging at 50% every time i run it. [05:54] recommend mdadm chunk size for raid? [05:54] unitypunk: what packages are you installing ? [05:54] anything now. [05:55] stuff hit the fan when i tried to use updatemanager after installing 10.10 [05:55] try apt-get -f install [05:55] skrewler, Might be better to just compress it? [05:56] blackshirt: hung at 50% again. [05:56] i think it was problem when you upgrade.. is that right ? [05:57] im sure the update manager caused all of it, yeah [05:57] up untill 30 mins ago, it was a brand new install of meerkat [05:58] skrewler: by default, rsync creates a copy of a file as it goes, until its finished with that file and then moves it into place over the real destination file, so while the rsync is in-progress, the destination size can be as much as (total size) + (size of biggest file) [06:00] Jygga: Any progress? [06:00] quiescens: thanks dude === paijo is now known as blackshirt [06:02] unitypunk i experienced that 1. when i i tried installing 1004 in an old dell wit h512 ram using ext 4.............2. i happened again when i installed 1004 on a gig of ram.........and on thos eparticular computers the only way i fixed it was using ext 3 [06:02] skrewler: for what its worth, it does this so that if you cancel, you don't have a file that's half updated and half not, if this behaviour is unnecessary, you can try with --inplace next time [06:03] so your saying the only fix is resintalling on ext3? that dosnet make a lick of sense. [06:03] unitypunk so for me, on certain computers...it kept happening and noone here gave me any answers so i tried it. [06:03] and is quite the negative news lol [06:04] i'm not telling u to do it but i never got an answer on that one [06:04] bleh [06:04] neither did joeshmoe from ubuntu-utah.ubuntu.... [06:04] gettimeofday({1288849714, 197382}, NULL) = 0 [06:04] mine would get halfway thru the updates and hang [06:04] is where its hanging. [06:05] thanks for the tip balsaq [06:06] unitypunk: I assume you're using strace? [06:08] unitypunk, have you tried dpkg-configure? just to make sure everything was in place after updates or upgrades [06:09] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/WxGJ4dJG I have seen this problem before but I have forgotten how to fix it via terminal, sorry for the delay, my browser was doing weird things and redirecting me out of pastebin :\ [06:10] Also the recommended commands on the bottom, don't yield much either [06:10] quiescens: do you know what the naming convention is for the temp files is or anything? [06:11] it seems like it's storing more than 1 of these at a time.. it's now up to 280gb. it's transferring a 35gb file right now [06:11] Jasuuki: it was your connection problem [06:12] blackshirt : connection problem? that's little interesting [06:12] Jasuuki: Are you trying to upgrade to a newer release of Ubuntu? Because if you are, apt-get dist-upgrade is *not* the correct way to do it. [06:13] your pastebin output show that.. apt system can't fetch some packages.. [06:13] Jordan_U blackshirt I am following this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-810-intrepid-to-ubuntu-904-jaunty-server.html but nothing works, i suppose its just an example [06:13] Jasuuki: are behind proxy ??

[06:14] maybe that was 8.04 [06:15] 8.04 and 10.04 were lts [06:15] when apt-get upgrading, one of my apps are being kept back (upgrade for cups) how do i tell it to upgrade, and how do i check for the reason why it is being kept back? thx [06:15] Jasuuki: 8.04 and 10.04 are LTS. 8.10 ended support in April. [06:15] taofd: dist-upgrade instead of upgrade, and it'll tell you [06:15] rww, dist-upgrade won't cause it to upgrade to the next ubuntu version right? (lol) [06:16] I can't find any codecs.

[06:22] W4372: maybe you need install again clamav-freshclam packages [06:22] blackshirt: How do I do that? [06:22] taofd, spinning up and down is normal for the fan! [06:23] anvo, like every half second [06:23] Jordan_U, will I have the option to not reformat that particular dir? [06:23] anvo: If you choose not to reformat the partition then /home will be preserved (all system directories will be overwritten). [06:23] anvo it cycles from fast to slow every second... it shouldn't be adjusting so often, its really annoying because the change in speed makes it not sound like background noise and its pretty obvious [06:24] W43372: install it with apt-get or aptitude.. just issuing it on terminal aptitude install clamav-freshclam [06:25] anyone know of a quit and easy way to adjust fan speed? or make it so that the delay to spin up or spin down fans to be longer? [06:25] not working [06:25] taofd, does the fan behave that way during the whole session of your Ubuntu? [06:26] i typed in sudo apt-get install clamav-freshclam, it did it's thing and I typed sudo freshclam, same thing [06:26] anvo, yes [06:26] E43372: what the messages ? [06:26] anvo, ever since start up [06:26] what compiler should i take (for C)? [06:26] Sideeffect: gcc is the standard, but llvm/clang is good too [06:27] Sideeffect: gcc [06:27] taofd, and this happens since when...? [06:27] some terminal command do download it? [06:27] anvo, since i installed ubuntu. [06:27] Sideeffect: sudo aptitude -y install build-essential [06:27] ty mate! :) [06:27] taofd, clean install or upgrading? [06:27] anvo, do you know of a way to control fan speeds? [06:27] anvo clean install [06:28] what do I type in to fix this? [06:28] is there still an ongoing discussion about lxc or is the decision to switch final? [06:28] Sideeffect: when installed do "gcc -o MyApp MyApp.c" [06:28] taofd, Is it a laptop? [06:28] Jordan_U : I did the sudo aptitude install update-manager-core update-manager but I got this : http://pastebin.com/1Ni8M2AU [06:28] anvo, yes [06:29] Sideeffect: you might want to learn a bit about optimization and cflags before using gcc [06:29] taofd, I think you cannot control the speed of the fan, if the laptop is Centrino based... [06:29] Jasuuki: Try "sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.0" [06:30] anvo, it's a hp mini 210 with an atom 455 [06:30] what do I type in to fix this? [06:30] well blakkheim i have to learn it all so [06:30] !repeat | W43372 [06:30] W43372: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:30] i nstalled rtorrent and all the dependencies [06:30] starting from nothing right now [06:30] configured rtorrent also [06:30] Sideeffect: gcc.gnu.org has a lot of good documentation [06:30] now what to do guys [06:30] ? [06:30] taofd, did you check the BIOS settings...? Did you make anything else right after installing Ubuntu on it? [06:30] ok , ty blakkheim [06:31] rohan: sudo apt-get install rtorrent [06:31] anvo, yes i checked everything, do you know of a way to control the fan speeds? [06:31] thank you trying === zhang is now known as Guest79215 [06:32] done now what Jordan_U [06:32] No, I do not, but before trying to control the fan speed, you must find out what makes it operate that way! [06:32] rohan: Now rtorrent is installed. [06:32] now how to usr rutorrent to access it? [06:33] anvo, it's probably a driver setting to regulate temperature, either way i want to manually control the speed [06:33] rohan: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/rtorrent/rtorrent.1.html this might be useful to you [06:33] ohk am looking into it :) .. [06:34] fan speed will increase due to heat [06:34] taofd, I am sure this is not a malfunction of the PC! You should check the log files and the services beeing started during boot time! [06:34] Balsaq, i am aware of that, but like i said, i am will within green levels [06:35] taofd, Do not try to control fan speed before diagnose what causes it! [06:35] rohan: Why not use rtgui or rtpg-www? They are both available in the repositories. [06:35] rtorrent needs no GUI [06:35] ohk i want something like that.... Jordan_U === Guest79215 is now known as zhang_ [06:35] yeha i know it need no GUI but i want one [06:36] rtgui /rtpg-www how to get them? [06:36] anvo, well, if its a malfunction of the hardware, then either way i'll have to ship it back or call in, so that would defeat the purpose of me asking here...

How do I fix that) I was wondering if I can use ushare to stream music/videos from my desktop to my laptop.... [06:37] taofd: Thats the keyboard shotcut. Is there any command for it like we have for shutdown in CLI? [06:37] taofd, You are right on that, but I should advice not to rush to ship it back...

[06:38] anvo, it's still within 14 days of purchase, so i would just return it for a new one... everything else is working fine though, so i strongly suspect this is a software problem [06:38] If i deselect the package libfontconfig1-dev from the repo it will screw up a lot of things [06:38] Thanks taofd, lofidellity [06:38] sresu, np [06:38] taofd, Check you system logs and install Bootchart for more details on booting up procedure! [06:38] RealOpty, yes of course. streams media to the 360, I want to stream media to other ubuntu box [06:39] taofd, Me too I suspect it's a shoftware issue... [06:39] how to download vlc deb 64 bit? [06:40] taofd, If you just installed Ubuntu and have no personal files in it, why not reinstalling it again? [06:40] tim__, havent used ushare for that. id guess you just need some kind of UPNP media player. like xbmc? [06:40] anvo, well clearly the kernel can control the fan speed (because it's doing it...) so it should be safe to manually set a fan speed to operate at... [06:40] anvo, because i've installed several times, and the problem still persists [06:40] Guest69660: if you have universe enabled sudo apt-get install vlc should install vlc [06:40] RealOpty, I want a back end....

Just install the new OS in the empty space of your hard disk. [06:45] lofidellity: yah [06:46] anvo, i have no empty space... [06:46] anvo, thats why i need to repartition [06:46] * ldunn points ireez to #vbox [06:46] I wanna ask you that, what are the emulators available to run in Ubuntu 10.10 [06:46] exit [06:47] which is better, ubuntu or windows as host [06:47] Jordan_U: I am following this set of instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid but i get this http://pastebin.com/AXmjGsH3 [06:47] taofd, what partitions do exist now in your pc? [06:47] I'm having trouble with network shares on 10.10. I've manage to create the share ok, but my computer isn't showing up in the network. It can be accessed via its IP tho. [06:47] should i join ubuntu help or something? [06:48] ireez, ubuntu for Netbooks and for those who want fast and cool things. Windows for those who are businessman or need some special softwares [06:48] blackshirt: I wanted to install Webkit so while installing i was told to upgrade to Glib2.24 so i did then Nautilus screwed up. so to fix that now.. i am seeing individual dependencies i found fontconfig-config requires higher version so i while trying to install i got Error: Breaks existing package 'libfontconfig1-dev' dependency libfontconfig1 (= 2.6.0-1ubuntu12) So i saw if Force Version is allowed or not.. But thats greyed out.. is reinstalling the system [06:48] jake-aus did you make the share browseable? [06:48] Ceaze, i mean in term of vitrualization [06:49] anvo, one for root, one for /home, and one for swap [06:49] i have a dvd-rw i want to make bootable.. it's burned but did not boot.. i need to erase whats there and burn it again and make sure it's bootable... [06:49] ireez, Ubuntu [06:49] jake-aus: im assuming you are talkin about samba, if so browseable = yes should do the trick [06:49] ireez, see comparison on wikipedia. Search on Google [06:49] pazsion: What did you burn and how? [06:49] lofidellity: I set it up using the new system-config-samba [06:49] brasero the software provided won't let me do this [06:49] lofidellity: which seems to comment it out... [06:50] should I set it on the global level? [06:50] no, not usually [06:50] an iso using brasero.. i moved the file to the drive and it burned... in the past this was all that needed to be done [06:50] taofd, since /home is being mounted during Ubuntu session, you cannot modify it "lively". This operation is accomplished by a Live CD only! [06:50] The share I want has browsable as yes. [06:50] Ceaze, thanks for the insight dude [06:51] Hi, is it possible to open the network connections manager with a command? [06:51] rockhopper: Yes. [06:51] jake-aus: im not sure how to do it with system-config-samba, but if you edit the smb.conf file and add browseable = yes to the share you want visible you sould be able to find it [06:51] KB1JWQ: May i know the command please?\ [06:51] Where can I find a repository or older versions of Ubuntu Desktop and Server? [06:51] rockhopper, "nm-applet" from terminal. [06:52] anvo: ty [06:52] lofidellity: I've editted the smb.conf file to have browseable = yes, and restarted the service...

I don't know how to rouse an answer, though... [07:04] if i repartition an an encrypted folder like /home it won't... break will it?

[07:05] taofd, yes [07:06] mkanyicy, i would prefer to use the ubuntu utility to resize, but i don't know if it exists as a small iso separate of ubuntu (i'm on a pretty limited connection, so can only download something relatively small...) [07:06] taofd, so you don't trust gparted, huh? [07:07] taofd, Try downloading Gparted Live CD. [07:07] mkanyicy, just in my experience, it's been unstable and sometimes would freeze up and crash 6__6; [07:07] anvo, that's what i'm downloading lol [07:07] does someone know a software that can log if the internet is working over a longer time, possibly with graphs? [07:07] mkanyicy, i like how the redhat disk utility looks better too :) [07:07] taofd, really? i didn't know about that [07:07] mkanyicy, does it exist? lol can you download it separately, somewhere?

[07:09] taofd, the gparted the freeze and crash is the one on the gparted live cd [07:09] taofd, not the one on ubuntu live cd [07:09] c_nick, if thats the case, then make a list of packages you want and install them again when you do a fresh install [07:09] what software is available for free that actually is for dvd-rw's [07:09] pazsion, Not all CDs are rewritable. For booting drive sequence, make changes in BIOS. [07:09] .... [07:10] ok [07:11] Is anyone having the grub 1.99 beta freeze on them? [07:12] pazsion, As for cd burn shoftware, I use K3b. [07:13] well does k3b recognize the dvd-rw re writable? [07:13] pazsion, Yes, i does! [07:13] pazsion, It does! [07:14] so you can delete stuff off the dvd's and cd's.. as long as you have the original file that was brunt correct? [07:15] and the drive/cd/dvd is rw [07:15] pazsion, Since the original file is stored on your hard drive, yes!

[07:20] Hi all... I have a really odd problem here, I suspect it's with my hard disk somewhere. When I installed Ubuntu on my netbook (via a USB stick) the USB stick got mounted as /dev/sda and the hard disk appeared as /dev/sdb. Now that I've installed, the only way I can boot my system is to tell my computer to boot from the USB drive - and then it boots from the hard disk instead!!!

[07:22] The partition in between is also 'unallocated' [07:22] Wolf' why not creaet a new partition where the allocates space is? [07:22] I want to increase the size [07:22] Of my partition [07:22] OH [07:23] Make a new ntfs [07:23] Wolf`, wait, your sda2 is now unallocated space? [07:23] Then extend? [07:23] Nono [07:23] sda2 is ntfs [07:24] JoeMaverickSett, i've found the second site you posted but for a different os, im using the new ubuntu and i need to make sure i get the exact one [07:24] Did you see the image?

[07:25] Wolf' okay there are two problems [07:25] GhostWolf: you mean for maverick, but the link shows for lucid? [07:25] Wolf' 1 is you can't extend a primary parition into a logical one [07:25] JoeMaverickSett, yes for Maverick Meerkat, the link is for a different version of ubuntu, for the exact same thing you gave me, i found the one for maverick [07:26] GhostWolf: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-flash-10-2-preview-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-using-ppa.html give this a try also. :) [07:26] JoeMaverickSett, and haven't tried it yet, just about to try, just trying to see other ways [07:26] Wolf' 2 is you can't extend a partition if it's not contiguous [07:26] GhostWolf: i depend on google-fu so.. :D [07:26] taofd, is there anything I can do? [07:26] Can I make those partitions into ntfs and then extend into them? [07:27] JoeMaverickSett, i depend on firefox, i need to use firefox for certain sites [07:27] Wolf' well, I would recommend you delete /dev/sda3 if you have nothing in there you need, and then extend sda2 === FlySkype is now known as working [07:27] JoeMaverickSett, plus the sites i've googled looked good, but i've been having problems with the ppa's [07:27] Wolf' since only swap is under there, you can recreate it later after you extend it [07:27] taofd, how do I 'extend' it ?

[07:29] If I say resize [07:29] JoeMaverickSett, well thats why i asked for anyone who can help with me. but thanks for the links. [07:29] It won't let me drag it over or anything [07:30] did you get rid of sda3/ and everything under it? [07:30] Yeah [07:30] It's all just unallocated [07:30] does it say unallocated, /dev/sda2/, unallocated, >unallocated?

[07:36] Wolf`, i'm not sure but i think the reason why you cant get rid of /dev/sda3 is because /dev/sda5 is there... [07:36] taofd, I don't think so ? I just want to have one ntfs partition for windows [07:36] I'm not sure [07:36] The only command I get for sda5 is 'swapoff' [07:36] Wolf` okay yeah, get rid of that linux-swap partition then, and then try to get rid of /dev/sda3 [07:36] ok nevermind, it now works, thanks for anyone who tried to help [07:36] Do I hit 'swapoff'?

[08:50] ttiicc: you can, they're ignored [08:51] i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it just givingme back a shell prompt [08:51] airtonix, maybe it's in /home/user/.config, no such folder/file as .evince [08:51] ttiicc: you also can seperate them using "#" as line-beginning to make sure [08:51] meatbun, try this : locate evince | grep ${HOME} [08:51] nemptor, have you tried safe mode? [08:51] yes that's an idea too [08:51] :( been told that ubuntu will work on any machine. this is not what i expected :( [08:52] ireez, it's suppose to work..even with my old p4 machine.

[08:57] airtonix, sorry. i meant a fresh install [08:57] airtonix: thanks [08:57] meatbun, of 10.10 ? [08:57] nemptor, i think you need to boot to live cd and reinstall [08:57] the old distro is on another hdd, which removed (remove sata cable) [08:58] neil_d, tip: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file serach ecryptfs-setup-private [08:58] search* [08:58] Can we run .exe file on a Linux server ?

How does one sort this out? [08:59] meatbun, ok i am using 10.04 too on four machines and have not experienced this problem. however i did not use 9.04. [09:00] meatbun, to rule out problems with your current users config, create a new user, login with that user and test evince. [09:00] nemptor, did you get any error msg? [09:00] while trying to boot [09:00] xev: yes [09:00] airtonix, really? u tried open a pdf, then jack it up to 200% and print that single page, page 20. and see if it get cut off [09:00] maybe that's what you need [09:00] tried sudo service gdm start [09:01] and it said : "start: job already started: gdm" [09:01] xev: can i use the installer to repair?

[09:03] xev: ok be right back just need to write the error message so you can analyze my problem; thanks for the meantime. see yah [09:04] meatbun, if you have not done so since you installed... that would be a good idea (also make sure all four sections are ticked in software sources ) http://imagebin.org/121776 [09:04] owh and another thing. i tried using recovery option on grub, and it can log me with 1024 resolution tho === wws_ is now known as wwshunan [09:05] llutz , where shall I add that line in rc.local [09:06] sunit: above the "exit 0" line [09:07] how can i watch what commands are being ran by another user that is logged in [09:08] ok, adding /usr/bin/java -jar /path/of/jar is sufficient ?

[09:19] zipp0 ima reading the man pages to find out but the easiest way is to do a test with a small dir with a normal file and a hidden file and seeing if it does, which it probably does [09:19] :) [09:19] shadow980 top and or w [09:19] depending on why [09:21] anyone? [09:21] Where does UBUNTU install grub by default? [09:21] taofd; if you are lucky move it's connectors so it's not thermostatically controlled. [09:21] have a look at all sorts of hardware monitor things and see if you can see it changing in software; [09:22] shadyabhi, in /boot/grub/ obvious [09:22] shadyabhi, try /boot/grub perhaps [09:22] delarue, what hardware monitors do you recommend that can view fan speeds?

[09:22] madfox: thanks, i tested, and it's ok, including hidden file :D [09:22] zipp0 thought so :) [09:23] to prevent it you have to find out why. [09:23] hmm [09:25] hello guys! why when i run a script of mine which simply do sleep 60 and kill that process with -SIGQUIT i just got on wwhat line it is now. isn't it supposed to create a core file? and if i set some variables then to be able to see the values of that variables (with some debugger)?

How does one sort this out? [09:29] simple conclusion, my hardware can't work with ubuntu. thanks all [09:30] anyone? nobody? [09:32] zetheroo: have you tried rebooting? [09:32] cryptodira: yep === saftsack__ is now known as saftsack [09:33] zetheroo: have you tried killing it via the pid? [09:33] cryptodira: pid? [09:33] tuxnani: I meant which partition? I installed it on sda6 [09:34] ok [09:34] tuxnani: So, it is? [09:34] use top or htop.... find the process.... at terminal : kill9 followed by the process number (pidP [09:34] shadyabhi, within sda6 partition's file sys, you'll find it [09:34] (pid) [09:34] tuxnani: You mean to say its not installed in the first partition? [09:35] I've installed 9.10, but when I try to boot grub stops at the "grub loading" message. Back on livecd grub-probe can't find a device for /. But the disk that causes the error isn't the one I want to install on, so is it possible to somehow "hide" it temporarily from Grub? [09:36] cryptodira: but what process would I be looking for? [09:36] shadyabhi, its generally stored in master boot record(mbr) of your machine's ROM, [09:36] guys any help on gwibber [09:36] not starting [09:36] and a copy is maintained at /boot/grub [09:36] on this issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466910 [09:36] i have the same problem [09:36] shadyabhi, what is it that you want to do? [09:36] gwibber doesnt start [09:38] zetheroo: if you run htop, look for either 'cups' or 'print' on the right hand side ... under commands [09:39] zaina \ [09:40] tuxnani: I actually bought N210 netbook samsung. it came with Recovery Software which required F4 to enter into it. It also had Hyperspace which I could enter pressing F6 at boot. And It had Win7 installed. I shrinked the last partition and installed ubuntu on the last parition. Now, when I rebooted, my Win7 booted and there was no GRUB prompt. Then, some time later I went to recovery by pressing F4 and then there I got the GRUB prompt. Then I could [09:40] boot ubuntu from that and that was fine. Then I tried running Recovery by selecting from bootmenu RECOVERY. And then I could never boot to anything on netbook [09:40] NOW, nothing boots on my netbook [09:40] tuxnani: ^ [09:41] i use "ps -e" to find a process, then "kill id" to kill it:D but, it takes time to find it, any other way to find the exact process?! [09:41] shadyabhi, do one thing, establish grub back using the live cd, i'll give you the link, probably you didnt write grub onto mbr [09:41] ali__: pgrep [09:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [09:42] tuxnani: WIll all that mess up my HyperSpace and recovery software.

Currently I'm just using a netgear. Any ideas? [09:43] shadyabhi, the vendor provided hyperspace might be written onto the rom and can be inerasable [09:43] I tried #networking but no response. Thought there would be knowledgable folk here. [09:43] cryptodira: found the entry ... but it's not going away after sending SIGTERM to it [09:43] ali__: killall kills processes by name [09:44] tuxnani: ok. probably you are true bcos I get to select F6 to enter to HyperSpace [09:44] shadyabhi: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [09:46] zetheroo: hmmm.... try killall or kill followed by the pid [09:46] ??????????????? [09:47] cryptodira: is this still in htop? [09:47] cryptodira: PID is 1784 ... so do I do ... kill 1784? [09:47] zetheroo: no, from another instance of terminal..... by the way, is the printer that you could print to, now available? [09:47] i've fixed the "up-arrow makes a screenshot" as follows: in Xreset i appended 'restart kdm' [09:48] zetheroo: yes, kill 1784 [09:48] now everytime a user logs out, the x server is restarted [09:48] cryptodira: ok ... the printer is shared on the network again ... but I have to add it this time [09:48] cryptodira: bash: kill: (1784) - Operation not permitted [09:49] Jordan_U: tuxnani Never mind. There gotta be something wrong I did while installing it first time. While, I was on IRC, I was also reinstalling my ubuntu. And now, the boot menu comes as expected. So, no issues now. Thanks ayways [09:49] shadyabhi, maybe you unchecked the option to write to mbr at the penultimate step [09:49] :) [09:50] zetheroo: you need to do the kill from root .... sudo kill at the command line [09:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ&feature=related [09:50] how great is that [09:50] cryptodira: ok that seemed to have killed it ... but I still cannot delete the print job :( [09:51] any1 knows a repo for Gloobus Flow ?

[09:53] cryptodira: ok ... do you know how to restart CUPS? [09:54] zetheroo: can you now print the job? [09:55] cryptodira: if I could add a new printer I probably could ... [09:55] zetheroo: are you able to add the new printer? [09:56] timo: thank you man:) [09:56] cryptodira: no ... the ADD button is greyed out ...

[10:58] What are the partition requirements for grub(2) to work? Grub2 is installed on /dev/sda and looks for /boot/grub on /dev/sde5 which is extended, etx4, not bootable. Is that ok for grub? [10:59] in "mycomputer" there is no dvd drive.. [10:59] grub should be on a bootable partition... [10:59] or the partition will not boot [11:00] not in grub anyway [11:00] it may not boot at all and give no os found error if not installed properly [11:01] burnmedvdiso: - if you install grub to a part rather than the MBR i think that THAT part should be boot-flaged not the one where you install /boot [11:01] burnmedvdiso, ok, that's what I suspected. Thanks :) [11:02] it simply won't boot [11:02] in my experiences, it rendered the drive useless if i didnt install on a bootable media [11:02] yeh [11:03] for instance if windows was installed on a partition that was not active/bootable.. it just would not load [11:03] hello all [11:03] hi xD [11:03] burnmedvdiso: - true, - same for linux... [11:03] on every reboot, I lose the compiz configuration :) [11:03] Hm. In Palimpsest the drive is listed in three levels, Harddisk -> 40Gb extended -> 40Gb filesystem. I could change the filesystem to bootable, but I get an error on extended.(msdos parser...etc) I guess that won't be enough? [11:03] (I'm using a virtualbox) [11:04] will try to rebooting my host computer [11:04] sounds like you made the entire hd the ext/swap parttion [11:05] so ther is no space left for anything else?

[11:08] yup [11:08] i dont even know what that is xD [11:08] burnmedvdiso, No, I kind of rearranged and replaced hraddrives as well, so the old system partition is gone, it was on another drive, etc [11:09] ew, so if your using "new" drives then? [11:10] nater, its old too i think it's a 54x [11:10] i've always had issues in ubuntu with it [11:11] it's almost never detected and work 100% of the time in any version 6 till now [11:12] but if i go winblows route... i have very few free software options to make a bootable dvd [11:12] and i may have fawked my only dvd-rw disk === umer is now known as umer-siddiqui [11:12] =c [11:13] hmm what is the command line to redetect all devices?

I have a custom apparmor rule in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox. However, each time a firefox upgrade is installed, the file gets replaced and my custom rule is overwritten. Is there a _persistent_ way to include a custom apparmor firefox rule ? I don't want to be forced to manually edit the firefox apparmor profile each time I there is a firefox upgrade [11:23] burnmedvdiso, or if you have other devices of the same bus type. eg other IDE HDs do tey always work? [11:23] hi there, can someone help me? my wireless drive , it stopped working :S I can't see what it is the name to try to install new drivers, the weird thing is that yesterday it was working, today when I turned the computer on, puff, not working :S [11:23] mne: I think it's supposed to ask if you want to install the dist version, or keep your own... That's what it does with apt-get anyway. Not sure how you install your updates. [11:24] burnmedvdiso, also is CD-Rom and CD-RW are on the same cable. try unplugging either one and see if detection is better [11:24] the hd's worked fine up until the formatting/delteing of the dvd...then on restart all failed, i had to power down... [11:24] RW are slower. generally you should daisy chaing them [11:25] only when writing [11:25] rw also have more cache [11:26] and yes i did try removeing the cd-rom and vice versa [11:26] jink. Yes, it asks whether it should overwrite the file. However, not overwriting the file is no solution as the firefox version numbers change and for this reason the whole ruleset would no longer work. That is the version number is inside the apparmor rule [11:26] hmm [11:26] sup doc xD [11:27] but it would still not detect and run the entire time i was in ubuntu [11:27] at some point it would fail and un-mount [11:28] Does anyone know a program I can use on ubuntu to make my girlfriend move faster :(? [11:28] the drive itself is fine.. works well in other os's [11:28] Hmm. testing out 'unity' on my desktop amchine in 10.10 :) [11:28] someone? [11:28] rcm have a look at /etc/NetworkManager /nm-system-settings.conf and see if stuff is disabled [11:28] nvclock_gtk? or is she amd? [11:28] burnmedvdiso: you saying a hard drive is getting some error and unmounting? [11:28] jink, I was thinking that maybe I can create my own rule that uses a generic firefox path (e.g. "/usr/lib/firefox-3.*/firefox-*bin") and then write my custom rule in there. Yet after this there would be two apparmor policy files for firefox. I'm not sure if thats ok [11:28] how do I do that?

[11:37] alex_: what is your install problem ? [11:38] we are... jesusffs ikonia never changes... [11:38] stumpd, y arent loing e program dif by any chance? [11:38] well, any time i try to install ubuntu on either my HDD or SSD it locks up as soon as it starts formatting [11:38] alex_: does the whole machine lock up or just the install process ? [11:38] done. [11:38] the whole machine. including the install process [11:38] I'll reboot, 1 min [11:38] skarufue: Pardon? If there's a utility that just does this for me that's great [11:39] side note, i'm using ubuntu on my netbook because windows sucks on an atom. [11:39] alex_: we don't need the side comments [11:40] burnmedvdiso: force mount? just make a entry in fstab for it. or mount it by hand. I think that will make the automount feature of gnome ignore it. [11:40] alex_: from the comments you've said earlier it does sound like your machine is having general hardware issues, it's certainly worth running through the memcheck process on the CD and checking that the CD has the correct md5 [11:40] perhaps. it managed to run it livecd for like 2 straight days === don is now known as Guest35805 [11:41] stumpd, read man diff it compares 2 files. if you want to compare directory trees ls dir1 > file1.txt && ls dir2 > file2.txt && diff file1.txt file2.txt would do that for directories [11:41] alex_: that doesn't mean it's ok [11:41] skarufue: Thanks a lot for your help [11:41] what?

[11:57] rcm, ok you card is gone that means it is either dead in a hardware sense. or you switched it off. do you have a wireless switch on your notebook. and what das it do? does it have a green light to odicate beeing switched on? [11:58] mac_nibblet yeah d.w. I've just been used to following alot of commands for the mac filesystem [11:58] k [11:58] and they put their system wide stuff in /usr/local/bin etc [11:58] but oh well [11:59] mrnelson1986: i have the kernel source on an ntfs partition. i wanna compile it, but it just won't happen because apparently no file is executing on that partition. [11:59] it has a switch,, when turned on it has a orange light, and it's off, there's no light, but I think it is not working properly, the light is on whether I enable or disable it... [11:59] you really think my wireless card is dead ? :S [11:59] ubuntuselur1, are you viewing it in CLI or nautilus? [12:00] mrnelson1986: cli [12:00] couldn't be a driver problem? yesterday I just installed ubuntu 10.10, and it was working just fine :S [12:00] ubuntuselur1, can you chmod it? you probably don't have write privileges on it [12:01] mrnelson1986: i tried doing it as root too. doesn't work [12:01] ubuntuselur1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378519 you probably just have noexec set in your mount command in fstab [12:01] or what skarufue said :) [12:01] rcm, well yeah it could be a firmware problem [12:01] how do I fix it? [12:02] rcm have you looked for a installation guide for your laptop model on google [12:02] JoeMaverickSett, it found the printer OK, but it says find driver(ie its using the F1000 or whatever it is, and it won't print. no errors, just nothing [12:02] ham... nop :X [12:03] another thing, I installed desktop version of ubuntu, on my laptop. I can do that right ? [12:03] there's no problem with that? [12:04] with ubuntu 9.10, and 10.04 everything worked just fine... [12:04] rcm, well the wierd behavior ofyour wlan switch is quite a good indicator for a firmware problem. there are always very specific solutions for specific laptops [12:04] rcm, or there isnt any solution at all [12:04] hum... hope that there is a solution ... [12:05] wait, I think I found something [12:05] rcm, there is no problem installing the desktop version on your laptop, it is just the environment that is different mostly. try looking up your particular wifi card version on google and seeing if there are ubuntu workarounds...if you have an atheros i know they are notorious for having issues [12:06] mrnelson1986: i don't have 'noexec' in my /etc/fstab... these are the options i have for the partition: 'defaults,exec,user'. and ntfs-config doesn't work anymore [12:06] the card is a realtek [12:06] ubuntuselur1, is it a partition on your main HD or an external HD via USB? or a secondary internal HD [12:06] I don't know the specific model... [12:07] mrnelson1986: main hard drive [12:07] rcm, you dont speak german by any chance?

[12:11] mrnelson1986: yeah i can do that, but it makes me feel defeated :( [12:12] rcm, when you have time can you paste the contents of lsusb to another ubuntu pastebin [12:12] sure [12:12] ubuntuselur1, I understand :) just making sure if you had to you could...I'm all for trying to find a solution!

[12:44] heya guys how do i add a language to my keyboard, and switch between languages, is there a tutorial you could link me to [12:44] kwagner, do you just mean an install cd? or literally a live cd...because the server edition only has the install cd, you cannot run the OS off of the CD as far as I know [12:44] Robinux, I just saw that the other day hold on [12:44] install cd [12:44] coz_: :D [12:45] kwagner: was that to me? [12:45] yes [12:45] Robinux, try this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17508/add-keyboard-input-language-to-ubuntu/ [12:45] kwagner: - why not just create a batch script and a local repository its a whole lot simpler to do [12:45] kwagner, then you can just download the .iso of the install cd for ubuntu server from the ubuntu website [12:46] dante2: try muting the pc speaker using alsamixer, unless you use it of course [12:46] kwagner, or from a .torrent [12:46] holy crap coz_ thats what i'm talking about! thanks man.....what i found was too old, from 2006 [12:46] Robinux, yeah we need more tutorial pages like that one :) [12:46] coz_, and i don't have time to read it and have it not work cuz i'm a student and studying atm :D [12:46] hehe yep [12:46] ok cya mate [12:46] how do enable usb autosuspend in maverick? [12:47] Robinux, still read through it at least once to get your bearings [12:47] ofc i will :D [12:47] thx for the info MrsB, will try it on. I am still new on this. Have to learn a lot. [12:47] it is just because, if i want to install a new server and i have no internet connection... so i need a ubuntu installer cd with all the features i want [12:47] oh coz_ i was talking about the tut from 2006 that i found, not yours :P [12:47] kwagner, also, I'm not sure if you can do this with the server install cd, but I know on the desktop live cd's you can add a cache to store additional files from your session, which may achieve what you want (that is of course using a USB stick because you can add more room than a CD can hold, unless you use a DVD) [12:47] Robinux, understood :) [12:48] ok [12:48] :) cya now [12:48] I can't start one of my distros with GRUB, the other 2 work but when I select that one in the menu... nothing happens, what can I do? [12:48] I can't start one of my distros with GRUB, the other 2 work but when I select that one in the menu... nothing happens, what can I do? [12:48] Knagner - there are 2 things to do, 1 remaster your cdrom... (hard work) .... or use local repositories (either from your network or on a dvd (apt2cd) [12:49] sinisterstuf: what distro won't boot, and which distro installed grub ? [12:49] sinisterstuf: fix the grub entrys for the failing distors. [12:49] dante2: most are in the sam eboat, don't worry! [12:49] was disconnected [12:49] I can't start one of my distros with GRUB, the other 2 work but when I select that one in the menu... nothing happens, what can I do? [12:50] When i connect to ubuntu one, it disconnects after 1 sec [12:50] snoflake: : fix the grub entrys for the failing disttros? and what ones are they? [12:50] Hello. How can I make all applications in gnome use the same DPI. That is, in Appearence->Fonts I've set 96 DPI, while Xorg report 120 DPI. The 96 DPI works fine for gnome apps, but others like emacs, displays too large fonts. [12:51] Knagner - so the faster way would be to install your server [1] than add all the packages {2] and than create an install script [3] and use a tool to backup all the packages to a cdrom / dvdrom [4] if its only for YOUR use than creating your own distribution is a bit over the top [12:51] The strange thing is that the font selection dialog in emacs shows the fonts at correct size, but when the font is actually used it will be larger [12:52] hi... [12:53] @Ichat ok. i got an installed system with all the packages i want, how could i backup them to cd? [12:53] sveinse: did you also look in your xorg.conf settings [12:53] !backup [12:53] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [12:54] !wireless | verwalter [12:54] verwalter: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:54] hello. could someone tell me how to enable the guest account? it shows up as disabled when i login to guest session and can't enable it from there either. [12:54] Ichat: Yes. Nothing. It sais "DPI set to (120,120); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config" === lo is now known as Guest41971 [12:55] I think its strange that you may override the DPI settings in Appearence preferences while this setting isn't reflected across all of X [12:55] now i dual boot window and ubuntu on 500 gb. but i want to kick out window and just installed ubuntu,what the best to do it. [12:55] kwagner: - look for apt2cd [12:56] muhdazmilug: delete the windows partitions.. use the space for whatfer you want. [12:56] muhdazmilug: you did do a normal install and Not a wubi type install? [12:56] normal install [12:56] hey [12:56] This is a problem for me since I'm working alternate on laptop LCD and external monitor, which has different DPI. Applications look good on one, but not the other [12:57] muhdazmilug: back up your ubuntu files, pics vids etc and then reinstall and select it to use whole hard drive :) [12:57] muhdazmilug: then delete windows partition, remake it as ext2/3/4/whatever.. Mount ot where yoy want to use it :) Or resize the linux partition. [12:57] muhdazmilug: perhaps set up the new space as a /home/ and move your home over to it [12:57] ok [12:57] thanks a lot [12:57] MrsB: where I can fin the alsamixer/ [12:58] dante2: sorry, should have told you. Open a terminal and type alsamixer at the command line [12:58] Ok [12:58] MrsB: got it. thx! [12:59] Anyone here know howto force a resolution on a external screen from a laptop? [12:59] What would be the easiest way to forward a com port (serial) to a windows machine [12:59] mac_nibblet, what video card do you have [12:59] mrnelson1986, nvidia 9600m gt [13:00] b0ot: forward for what purpose? [13:00] mac_nibblet, under "preferences" do you have "NVIDIA X SERVER SETTINGS"? [13:00] yea [13:00] but i only get 1920x420 [13:00] should i make root partition,home partition,swap or just use one partition ? [13:00] i want 3840x1080 [13:00] muhdazmilug: if you are reainstalling and repartitioning, i would say at least use a /. a /home/ and a swap. [13:00] hiyas [13:01] muhdazmilug: sepertate home's are so handy [13:01] mac_nibblet, do you choose configure and choose something other than cloning your display? it should let you change to its own X [13:01] Dr_Willis: and still the installer doesn't do it if auto sellected. [13:01] which may enable different resolutions [13:02] mrnelson1986, im using a Matrox triplehead2go [13:02] Dr_Willis, Well I have a device that connects via serial to my ubuntu machine, and I want to periodically poll it via that connection for gps reports. Then format those reports, then send them off to a specific IP:port. I have been attempting to do this using socat/bash. However as a backup plan I was going to just have the serial connection on my ubuntu machine forwarded to a windows box, because I already have software there that is able to format/send [13:02] off the data. [13:02] whitch is returning a invalid edid [13:02] mac_nibblet, i'm not sure what that is [13:02] Ichat: its been mentioned in brainstorm/suggestions in the past. [13:03] Hello, I'm trying to hide the grub2 menu because I'm booting to windows most of the time but would like to hold shift to access ubuntu. I've noticed that the os-prober file is different in 10.10 vs. 10.04 and can no longer enable the hidden menu with that fix. Thanks. [13:03] Dr_Willis: more times than i can remember yes. in stead they spend time on unity witch on many systems dont even work because it to slow grafic cards :P [sorry for the rant] [13:04] mac_nibblet, you can't choose "advanced" and force the resolution? I can edit manually my laptop resolution === Tuvok_ is now known as Tuvok [13:04] mac_nibblet, (not hooked up to an external atm, so i can't test that) [13:04] mrnelson1986, you can change your panning not your resolution [13:04] Anybody have any ideas why a mass file copy (between loop-mounted iso and thumbdrive) might fail to fully copy most files? A post-copy comparison tells me the copies are only a fraction of the size of the originals [13:04] thats two different things [13:04] KelpWatta_: install startupmananger and set grub timeout to 0 [13:05] mac_nibblet, my fault I just glanced over the setting [13:05] How can I disable/remove the network-manager-icon in the upper menubar? [13:06] mac_nibblet, only other idea I have is try different drivers...i've gotta go though at work [13:06] is there a way to make a serial port connection on my ubuntu machine avaialble to connect to on my windows machine... some sort of serial port redirect so people on the windows machine could connect to the device connected to my ubuntu box? [13:09] what the best size if i make a root , a home, a swap,..for swap, i will give 4 gb for 2gb ram..how about the rest? [13:10] muhdazmilug: use the ubuntu-defaults the installer is offering [13:10] muhdazmilug: the easiest thing to do is to just make a single big / and put everyting there. [13:10] muhdazmilug: cfedde dont but everything in /, use a separate /home [13:10] muhdazmilug: but sometimes it's nice to have a seperate drive for /home. that makes it easier for upgrades [13:10] muhdazmilug: 7-10 for / rest for /home [13:11] b0ot: python and perl proberly have some ways to read serial data and format it.. that may be the easist route. Using bash to format complex data comming in.. can be tricky [13:12] Dr_Willis, I will probably end up doing the formating using C++. The formating isn't actually that bad it's just plain strings comming in. [13:12] thank for the advise... [13:12] easiest thing is to just take the defaults. [13:13] muhdazmilug: / i would make about 20gb. /home as big as you can :) [13:14] muhdazmilug: 10 for / is too small for me. === mapd is now known as biberoa [13:14] Mrokii, it appears that it is not permitted, but i bet if you dig deep enough you will find a way [13:14] ...you may have to remove the current panel, and create a new one without the networking icon [13:15] or kill the nm-applet program. :) but that might mess up networking [13:15] theres ways to confiofgure networking with out it. [13:15] or reboot === dfgass is now known as dfgas [13:17] hey guys, i've got ssh into my vps, how would i move files from my computer to vps?

[13:19] Yeah, i've got filezilla installed. [13:19] i've just upp'd the files [13:20] I just thought i'd be able to use ssh for this. [13:20] Craig`: you are.

[14:07] use this with wine _mikus http://www.flashdevelop.org [14:07] [BR]Snoops: i think so, yes [14:07] LjL, yeah but those check for "bad" processes... what i'm dealing with is a machine that has a known process load (remains constant long term) and anything unknown is suspicious. think of it as "tripwire" for processes [14:08] !list [14:08] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:11] pvh_sa: i don't know of anything like that (aside perhaps from full blown IDS that also can do that), but if you don't need it to spot stuff that might be hidden, then i think it should be pretty easy to write a script that parses "ps aux" output... [14:11] I run pppoeconf but it doesn't create /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf ?

[14:12] rigved: yes [14:12] rigved: i already have a 10.10 64 bit machine, and the new one will be a 10.10 64 bit machine [14:12] azlon: ok [14:13] azlon: 10.04 packages might not run on 10.10. just wanted to check that [14:13] pvh_sa: are you seeking an audit tool?

[15:54] undecim - so how can I fix the button? [15:55] Hero: Well, good news and bad news. Good news is that means we can make your computer poweroff. Bad news is the command that the shutdown button uses is hard-coded into Ubuntu's version of gnome, so we can't fix the shutdown button without recompiling Gnome.

[16:28] mhazy, my bad [16:29] can anyone please help me with a 'GNOME Power Manager has not been installed correctly' problem? scoured the internets and tried all given solutions to no avail as of yet [16:29] dear ubuntu: Pulseaudio is awful. It's a solution to a bunch of problems that nobody cares about, that takes 100% cpu and crashes the system and produces stuttery output and doesn't work well with anything. It's not even the best linux audio server layer if you really feel it is necessary to add one, jack is 100 times better [16:29] Draqul - You can 700 if you'd like [16:29] mhazy, Draqul cheers that seems ot have done it [16:29] Draqul - Er.. that wasn't for you :P [16:29] mhazy, mine is. =) [16:29] * dddw ff boodschappen doen [16:29] Guest62180 - 750 is useful if you decide to do groups of users later on [16:30] Guest62180, mhazy is right - if you decide to allow groups to access each other's stuff then 750 so you can save yourself a hassle down the road. 700 for max security on an individual /home [16:30] How can I fix a missing lib ? [16:31] /server icr://irc.coldfront.net/brain [16:31] How can I fix a missing lib ?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:32] BaseBallBoy, what is u boubt ?

Will 10.04 LTS be better for a box for a user that is angered by the need for downtime for upgrades? And is there any reason to prefer the 64-bit version on a 64-bit machine that has only 2GB RAM?

[17:58] warz: default-jre is openjdk. out of curiosity, what part of openjdk doesn't meet your needs? [17:58] !64 | joe2371 [17:58] joe2371: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [17:58] someone know how my windows will recognize how it will need to load a logon script from \\ubuntu\logon? [17:58] joe2371: if you do a lot of video and audio encoding then 64bit will help [17:58] pksadiq: yes [17:59] joe2371: also if you want to upgrade past 4Gb you will need to install the PAE kernel which is no bad thing and not hard [17:59] warz: I ask because OpenJDK is Sun's JDK with a few encumbered files removed from the HotSpot JVM (making it IcedTea). It should work for most use cases the same as Sun's (now Oracle's) JVM. [17:59] gdb, i do not know which part of openjdk wont work. im installating something and it explicitly states that it should use Sun's jre, and not OpenJDK's. [17:59] ActionParsnip: How does x64 help with CPU-intensive stuff? [17:59] andai: yes, each individual app will recognize a max of 4 gb until you have enough apps running that hog up every 4 gb block (in essence, if each app takes the full 4 GB, divide your total RAM by 4, and that is how many apps using the full 4 gb will be able to run at the same time) [17:59] joe2371: no need for downtime either, you can use your apps during upgrades but you will not see the new app til you restart the app [17:59] ActionParsnip: well, it's a notebook... and although 4GB is supported by the chipset, I don't see that upgrade happening anytime soon [17:59] tomoyuki28jp: but it is already installed as the pastebin,mysql-server-groonga is already the newest version.

I think it's FUD. :) [18:00] joe2371: then i'd go 32bit [18:00] Question for anyone: Fresh install of 10.10, wireless is running fine. After messing with the display manager, wireless doesn't work.

[18:00] gdb, alright then. OpenJDK it is. :P [18:00] warz: To be clear, there are some applications (specifically some odd banking sites in Norway) that won't work. But we need bug reports to get those fixed. [18:00] andai: i suggest you research wat 64bit actually is [18:00] joe2371, unless you have a *specific* need for 64bit, it's a good rule of thumb just to err on the side of 32bit. [18:01] warz: If OpenJDK does not work for you, please do file bugs! And then run your app under the Sun one. ;) [18:01] yeah. probably make it easier to find binary only packages that work [18:01] ActionParsnip: I guess I should research how 32bit works too then xD [18:01] And as far as 10.04 vs. 10.10... I guess I'm not sure what the benefit of LTS is. [18:01] joe2371: some 3rd party apps only supply 32bit drivers too, like brother and canon, so it will increase compatibility [18:01] andai: that is my understanding.

When I run Xoscope, it launches the gui ok, but in the upper left corner it says: "No data sou". If I press ? to enable help, I can't see any additional data that helps. Selecting [18:51] File->Device->Soundcard causes the display to show "opening /dev/dsp, no such file or directory". Does this mean the soundcard is not supported? It plays back audio from other applications ok.... Thanks! [18:52] tomoyuki28jp: sodu apt-get -y autoremove ? [18:52] tomoyuki28jp: sudo [18:52] pksadiq: did that [18:53] evelyette__: won't keep you a minute [18:53] ActionParsnip: when you do crontab -e, it edits files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs, right? [18:53] ActionParsnip: is there any other client like mutt but easier to use with gmail? [18:53] Where is the log of errors from firefox put on a ubuntu system? [18:53] ActionParsnip: how do you edit files in /etc/cron.d using the crontab command? [18:54] starn: alpine is another [18:54] I am trying to display php errors, but I don't know where they are going? [18:54] tomoyuki28jp: then I think, the next way is to reboot your system, load grub menu (hold SHIFT), and repair dpkg [18:54] hi iam unable to call voipcalls in linphone [18:54] ActionParsnip: can i setup multiple accounts with alpine? [18:54] hey [18:54] how do you make a collage look like a single pic? like this: [18:55] trogdoro: for use cron jobs: export EDITOR=nano; crontab -e for root running cron, change the command to run crontab with sudo [18:55] http://www.walyou.com/img/president-barack-obama-newspaper-headlines-collage.jpg [18:55] starn: never used alpine personally [18:55] no need for EDITOR=nano [18:55] to save space ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/557894 [18:55] Rob235: please spam elsewhere, not here [18:55] its not spam [18:55] ActionParsnip: he wasn't spamming [18:55] i just had a question [18:55] Rob235: ok, how is that related to Ubuntu support? [18:55] any body knows the coniguration for linphone [18:55] ActionParsnip: my question is how to edit cron files in /etc/cron.d [18:56] ikonia, where's the guide? [18:56] trogdoro: thats the only way I know [18:56] chill out man, half the time people dont talk about ubuntu in here, you guys are generally smart so i thought id ask [18:56] ActionParsnip: using crontab doesn't edit /etc/cron.d files, as far as I can tell [18:56] Rob235: try an image program such as GIMP [18:56] clear [18:56] Where is the log of errors from firefox put on a ubuntu system? I am trying to display php errors, but I don't know where they are going? [18:56] :P [18:56] ive been looking for a tutorial, do you know what id call that? [18:56] evelyette__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454116&highlight=mdadm [18:56] evelyette__: it's a very old thread but the technique is the same, check the second post down [18:57] Rob235: photomosaic is what I found [18:57] thanks [18:57] Rob235: Not off hand, it would seem you would have to buid the image yourself with some artistic creativity and skill in an image creation/manipulation program [18:57] :) ... AP! [18:58] ikonia, I've done this on gentoo for now, and I've also written a guide ... I'll put it online and you can see it [18:58] How can I change the permissions of the dev/pts pseudo-terminals? [18:58] I messed up an upgrade to 10.01 and now when I try to continue (from apt-get - X is broken), it keeps telling me "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on already unpacked 'xulrunner-1.9.2'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details." What am I supposed to do with this information? [18:58] evelyette__: I don't need a guide, I know how to do it, that's why I wrote the guide [18:58] no afficionados? [18:58] I'm issues with the screen locking up after leaving the computer for a while (a few hours) [18:58] ikonia, okay then ... [18:58] evelyette__: if you've done it before and written a guide, why are you asking how to do it [18:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/557894 [18:59] ikonia, because I need to be sure it's the same in ubuntu [18:59] trogdoro: http://pastie.org/1272922 is what mine has but I have a cron by root for this: http://pastie.org/1272923 [18:59] trogdoro: you can technically edit files in /etc/cron.d as you would any file, although /etc/crontab is really what you should edit for root jobs unless you have a good reason to want to use /etc/cron.d [18:59] evelyette__: mdadm is exactly the same [18:59] Rob235: http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/125624 [18:59] <[AS]Marius[Norwa> hello:D [18:59] awesome, thank you sir [18:59] stabadie: can you restart the X server to then re-logon [19:00] trogdoro: or to put it another way, /etc/crontab, and the contents of /etc/cron.d do not use a special editor as they are monitored for changes automatically [19:00] <[AS]Marius[Norwa> Anybody know how to add MIBBIT to x-chat? [19:00] quiescens: agreed [19:01] ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try [19:01] I have read the part of the man page that was suggested, but how am I supposed to use it? Immediate-Configure="false" added between curly braces in /etc/apt/apt.conf changes nothing. [19:01] quiescens: my reasons for putting files in cron.d are pretty much those outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [19:01] Rob235: with a lot of time and painstaking effort i would assume [19:01] quiescens: it's odd that when I add a file to cron.d, it's not picking it up right away [19:02] quiescens: any idea why that's happening? [19:02] <[AS]Marius[Norwa> Anybody know how to add MIBBIT to x-chat? [19:02] quiescens: if I run an unrelated crontab command, that seems to make cron look in cron.d - which is strange [19:02] im trying to mux a stereo commentary track and a 5.1 surround sound track with an h.264 video stream and convert the file to mpg for dvd playback, but tovid can't handle the 5.1 stream becasue it uses ffmpeg and apparently it cant handle mor than 2 channel audio [19:02] sipior, it failed even with the bug fixes. :-X [19:04] How can I change the permissions of the dev/pts pseudo-terminals? [19:04] Well,... I was hoping that doing that would fix my USB connection issues that appeared after the last screen freeze. [19:04] * pksadiq is about to sleep, 12:34 AM @ India [19:05] trogdoro: the behaviour should be that, the next time cron wakes up (once per minute), it should reread any of its crontabs and directories that have a new modified time [19:05] But restarting still the same before restarting x server [19:05] quiescens: yeah, that was the behavior in 7.04 [19:05] quiescens: but doesn't seem to be the behavior in 10.10 [19:06] quiescens: though, I know it is recognizing the file is there, because it complains if it's not owned by root... [19:06] it still doesn't pick up the changes when I chown to root [19:06] I downloaded mingw32, the windows cross compiler and I was wondering why the Windows binaries for the program I wrote (very simple, only included iostream and it outputs Hello World and quits) are so huge (close to 1mb) and the linux binaries are about 9k [19:06] still cant play wmv files in ubuntu 10.04,how to install vlc [19:07] karthick87: sudo apt-get install vlc [19:07] I messed up an upgrade to 10.01 and now when I try to continue (from apt-get - X is broken), it keeps telling me "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on already unpacked 'xulrunner-1.9.2'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details." Could I get help with this? [19:07] mm, are you editing the file as root? [19:07] karthick87: sudo apt-get install vlc in terminal [19:07] karthick87: sudo aptitude -y install mplayer-nogui [19:07] trogdoro: it could be complaining that it wasn't owned by root, and then it doesn't bother checking it when you chown it because the mtime would still be the same [19:09] how would i go about editing and compiling LaTeX in vim? [19:09] consolecowboy: ask in #vim ? [19:09] karthick87: also add the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs or w64codecs depending on the install of your ubuntu [19:10] how to add mediubuntu repo [19:11] !medibuntu [19:11] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:11] ActionParsnip, if you suggest using the "non-free-codecs" from medibuntu it will simply install the correct w32 or w64 codec for the system - just FYI ;) [19:11] karthick87: meh i was hoping for better from ubottu === SWFu is now known as RTFM [19:11] * quiescens pats ubottu [19:11] !apt.conf [19:11] karthick87: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu === RTFM is now known as SWFu [19:12] quiescens: good thought, but we just tested that and it still doesn't recognize it after a touch is done [19:12] ya thankyou [19:12] hello, did someone tryed Ubuntu 10.x with WiFi Atheros AR5001 ? [19:13] hi [19:13] karthick87: your welcome :) [19:13] test [19:13] trogdoro: the issue is that it doesn't reread the directory contents, unless the directory's mtime is changed [19:13] what is the name of the gnome program that does disk usage analysis? [19:13] Is there a tool that allows me to visually browse fonts before installing the appropriate packages? [19:13] for example, it shows a chart and what files and folders are taking up the most space... [19:13] trogdoro: er, i mean, my point is the above, i don't know for sure whether it is the issue though [19:14] stiv2k: baobab [19:14] is there any offical documentation for zenity [19:15] lazarus_: the man page? [19:15] So, no one knows how to help me? [19:15] trogdoro: because modifying a file in the directory doesn't change the mtime of the directory, maybe try touch /etc/cron.d or something [19:15] erUSUL: thanks [19:15] salve a tutti [19:15] blakkheim: why mplayer without gui..?

[19:26] i tried with the gateway line and without [19:26] so confusing... normally i would just quit, cause the box has internet, but i was going to make it a gateway... and its tough without ping for testing...

I need a short bash script to start AND close the GUI of any given application [say, a video player]; in other words: I need to have its process killed automatically after the file requested has been executed; how do I do that?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:34] GigiSan, yes [19:35] edbian, erUSUL, so I install the ccsm package, and then use it to install the expo plugin? [19:35] Help, the following is going on with my firefox browser, the enhanced editor in forum threads isnt loading, the facebook and yahoo chats aren't loading on the respective pages, some websites look completely broken, like the links are out of place, i know it's not the websites because chromium opens them ok, but i want to use firefox, so it looks as though the java stuff didn't work which is weird because youtube works fine.... [19:35] trainer, The expo plugin should already be "installed" use compizconfig-settings-manager to turn it on (and configure it) [19:35] trainer: no the plugin it is already installed. but maybe it is not enabled [19:35] trainer, yes - the default hotkey is Super+E [19:36] K-Yo, what exactly is takin ages? did you tested the CD surface for errors?

[19:37] ok, I upgraded from Lucid, and it seems that Maverick is very buggy. I have filed more bug reports in the past two days than I did in over a year using Lucid. Is Maverick this buggy for everyone? [19:37] I'm "trying to try" ubuntu netbook edition by mounting the ISO with the USB installer utility.

[19:39] Solved, You have partitions mounted silly! Right click them and choose unmount to unmount them. [19:39] Solved you have some partitions still mounted [19:40] yes, the ones I am using right now? [19:40] zebastianortis, you could test to see if it's a user issue my moving your ~/.mozilla to a backup location and restart Firefox to see if the default profile works. [19:40] edbian, erUSUL: I got it, thanks! [19:40] no problem [19:40] ZykoticK9, how? [19:40] Solved, If you want to mess with partitions that have the OS on them you have to boot a live CD (then none of the hdd is mounted) [19:40] kk [19:40] Solved, just an FYI, but the logical partitions are located inside the extended partition. you can only have a max of 4 primary partitions. best of luck man. [19:41] where do i set the default gateway [19:41] trogdoro: worst comes to worst you can check /var/spool/mail manually, but I don't really know what happens to cron mails when you don't have a mail system set up [19:42] zebastianortis, close all firefox sessions, then open a terminal and type "mv ~/.mozilla ~/MOZILLA_BACKUP" then reopen firefox. To undo use "mv ~/MOZILLA_BACKUP ~/.mozilla". [19:42] hey_joe: if you use /etc/network/interfaces just add a line "gateaway ip" to the interface conf ( eth0 or eth1 or whatever ) [19:42] trogdoro: or its /var/mail/ i forget which [19:42] After failing to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 10.10, any action I take with apt-get gives me something like this: http://dpaste.org/CWUa/ . How can I fix this? [19:43] onexused, sudo apt-get safe-upgrade [19:43] quiescens: /var/mail is empty [19:43] onexused, sudo apt-get install -f (tries to fix all broken packages) [19:43] zebastianortis, my bet is on the fact that pages will load properly with default profile. issues like that can often be caused by plugins and additions to Firefox - but i'm all Chromium these days ;) [19:43] How can I change the permissions of the dev/pts pseudo-terminals? [19:43] I suppose there's no solutione to my problem? [19:43] onexused, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might be useful too. To try to finish the version upgrade. [19:43] captkirk: why would you want to do that? [19:43] quiescens: with 7.04 no configuration of mail was necessary, to get emails from chron [19:44] !mta | trogdoro the mta was installled by default back then [19:44] trogdoro the mta was installled by default back then: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [19:44] trogdoro: i wouldn't be surprised if there was still at least some daemon set up for local-only mail [19:44] I have recently upgraded to Meerkat. Now it turns out there is no /dev/dsp or /dev/dsp1 anymore, how do I tell software how to access the soundcard? [19:44] well there you go [19:44] ZykoticK9, that worked but all my info is gone, how do i get all my prefered sites, bookmarks, etc ? [19:44] erUSUL: Because I'm using KVM and libvirt which sets up consoles in /dev/pts to the domU's and I don't like having to run as root to connect to the consoles [19:45] edbian, You didn't read the pastebin : ) apt-get -f install is one of the commands that gives me that error.

Now I got the bootable drive, it boots but it immediately returns me an error "graphics initialization failed\Error setting up gfxboot\boot: ".

[19:47] ZykoticK9, the undo...it's not coming back....i need that stuff [19:47] onexused, Have you tried purging or reinstalling that troublesome package? [19:47] i tried to undo [19:47] and my stuff isn't back [19:48] zebastianortis, copy places.sqlite, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js [19:48] zebastianortis, To undo use "mv ~/MOZILLA_BACKUP ~/.mozilla". === ng_ is now known as NG_ === charles_ is now known as Guest55346 [19:48] I need help: im installing ubuntu 10.10 on another machine and it is "writing changes to the disk" and does not proceed to installtion. how long does that take?

[20:24] histo: ok, will do. [20:24] Nahledge, why are you trying to install from source? "sudo apt-get install kismet" ... it's already in the repositories. [20:24] I need help installing wxpython for OpenRPG. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and can't find the packages for python-wxaddons or wx2.8-iln with terminal. [20:24] nilsma, Look in /etc/resolv.conf for the nameserver. route -n will show you the gateway (the second IP on the line starting with 0.0.0.0) [20:24] onexused: thanks :) [20:25] Nahledge, do you have a specific reason to be compiling from source? if not, have you tried ubuntu's version? [20:25] nilsma, You're welcome. [20:25] Well is it the latest version? Because I tried that and it didn't work out properly. The configuration is real tricky and in the channel they told me to get the newest version [20:25] Nahledge: are you sure theres no package? [20:25] Nahledge: ubuntu usually has old packages [20:25] Does this channel do Damn Small Linux support? [20:25] racethesunlive: any idea? [20:25] XVampireX: have you checked in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if you can manually set the resolution? [20:25] Nahledge: run sudo apt-get install kismet [20:25] cookiemad: obviously not [20:26] racethesunlive: 10.04 doesn't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf AFAIK [20:26] I have but it gives me an old version that isnt what I need. [20:26] THe way I see it, I'm going to need to learn to compile from source eventually right? Google results are confusing me even more. [20:26] histo + eurythmia: here is a link to the screenshot of GParted. http://i55.tinypic.com/2zfihhg.png [20:26] !source | Nahledge [20:26] Nahledge: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [20:26] Nahledge, i have no idea of the specifics of kismet compilation - but usually you would run "./configure" then "make". [20:26] Nahledge: you need to first configure it [20:27] but make sure you have all the dependencies too [20:27] MysteryPig: if that unallocated is before the extended partition you won't be able to fill it. [20:27] MysteryPig: and it appears that it is [20:27] histo: I cannot move it or anything? [20:28] histo: but there is more than just that one unallocated [20:28] histo, what about the unallocated space within the extended partition *after* the swap space? [20:28] MysteryPig: think of the extended parition as a container. You would be able to extend it to the right [20:28] Is it possible to have a usb autorun a shell script when it is plugged in? [20:29] MysteryPig, if you were to boot up with an ubuntu usb disk, you could use gparted to move your swap space to the end of the extended partition and then resize your ext4 partition to fill up the rest of the unallocated space [20:29] MysteryPig, if you want to use 56.59GB as a separate Partition, just add one, but you can RESIZE the EXTENDED Partition [20:29] * eurythmia has to go home now. [20:29] cheers. [20:29] CanadianPirate, I know gnome can be set up to do that. I don't know about other DEs or the command line. [20:29] Neither uclibc uClibc++ or standard gcc stdc++ libraries found [20:30] This is perhaps the reason a make file isn't present? [20:30] onexused Do you have an idea how. It should not be a DE thing, it should be command line or within the OS [20:30] MysteryPig, You can resize(grown) the /dev/sda3 (EXTENDED) partition of this 56GB [20:30] MysteryPig: yes you have a primary partition where windows is followed by unallocated. Then you have an extended box with unallocated in it as well. [20:30] I need cookies, please. [20:30] racethesunlive: Hey [20:31] Nahledge, you probably need to install "sudo apt-get install build-essential" i haven't given you the last step BTW. You should uninstall the ubuntu version using "sudo apt-get remove kismet" if it's still installed (best not to have 2 versions floating around). Then to actually install your finished program in the same directory run "sudo make install" (FYI this won't be easy to uninstall this way - there is an ubuntu wrapper for installing fo [20:31] rget name... [20:31] CanadianPirate, Nope, I only know the way to set it in gnome. Sorry. [20:31] * tabasko sends cookies for Jasa [20:31] MysteryPig: the partition table for the drive has no idea about the space in the extended it just points to the first parititon in it. Then that partition points to the next etc... [20:31] Thanks alot, tabasko. = ) [20:31] Jasa, no prob :) [20:31] MysteryPig: primary paritions are different. They are accounted for in the master parititon table. [20:31] onexused. Thanks anyway, I will ask some Linux guru's when I meet them [20:31] The changes I made with nano are saved as sources.list.save.1, will this be used to apt-get update? How do I delete or rename these files? [20:31] XVampireX: one sec, sorry [20:31] hi folks! [20:32] racethesunlive: have you got any clue? [20:32] exists any way to extraxt my video bios like GPU-Z(windows)? [20:32] MysteryPig: it's kind of difficult to explain in here. You would need to read some information on parititoning to understand the problem you are having. [20:32] histo: so is there ANYTHING i can do to give ubuntu more space? [20:32] After failing to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 10.10, any action I take with apt-get (including installing xulrunner, dist-upgrade, removing any packages) gives me something like this: http://dpaste.org/CWUa/ . How can I fix this? [20:32] hello, can someone clue me in to what Fuse is? what it is used for? [20:33] hi how can i rename 10 files fdfsffs.JPG to fdfsffs.jpg ? [20:33] XVampireX: best i can do is point you here: http://howtoubuntu.org/?p=157 for forcing resolutions in 10.04 [20:33] MysteryPig, do a resize of EXTENDED partition first [20:33] allowoverride, Gnome virtual filesystem mounting - the desktop mounts and stuff located in ~/.gvfs [20:33] MysteryPig: I would boot off a live cd and run gparted. Then turn swapoff and deleted the swap. Grow the /dev/sda5 and recreate swap at the end. [20:33] MysteryPig: right now you would only be able to grow it 1mb [20:33] rdavila: install getSystemId [20:33] histo: I am on live CD, and swapoff is done [20:33] ZykoticK9: does that include a dongled usb to a cell phone? [20:34] allowoverride, for sure! [20:34] its not showing up in /mnt or /media [20:34] histo: can you explain what to do now to me in a easy way so I can comprehend and follow it out? [20:34] allowoverride, ~/.gvfs maybe? [20:34] rdavila: ah sory this gives MB bios i thni [20:34] ZykoticK9: is fuse loaded by default? [20:34] allowoverride, i think so [20:34] from a clean install or do i need to envoke it, or add a user to the fuse group? [20:34] MysteryPig: then remove the swap partion and resize the /dev/sda5 to almost fill the 70.67GiB. Leave a little space at the end for swap like 1.38 GiB [20:35] allowoverride, do other USB mounting work properly? [20:35] MysteryPig: then right click in the little bit of space and create the swap [20:35] no [20:35] hito: so I "delete" the linux-swap partition? [20:35] why is the perms on .gvfs set to dr-x------ [20:35] thanks [20:35] MysteryPig: correct but you are going to recreate it after you resize your /dev/sda5 [20:36] OK, found [20:36] nvm [20:36] Have fun [20:36] histo: ok linux-swap has been deleted [20:36] histo: next step [20:36] ? [20:36] I'm having an issue with Evolution regarding Google Calendar. I set it up to locally copy the calendar to my computer for offline usage. But when I don't have an internet connection, if I try to use my calendar, Evolution freezes....... [20:36] MysteryPig: now you should just have unallocated after the /dev/sda5 corect? [20:36] allowoverride, it's a virtual filesystem remember - mine is the same permission [20:37] histo: yes [20:37] rdavila: /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 [20:37] 72.04 GiB [20:37] MysteryPig: right click on /dev/sda5 and resize it. [20:37] ZykoticK9: ok [20:37] mystery pig create separate home partition would also work [20:37] hello what package do I need to install to use mount.cifs? [20:37] allowoverride, does anything usb work on your system? [20:37] ZykoticK9: do i need to use Fuse to envoke usb? also, im trying to so an sudo ls -al .gvfs/ and its not allowing me [20:37] histo: Ok, I grew it to the maximum size to the right [20:37] allowoverride, what version of ubuntu? [20:38] yes, i just check cheese with onboard cam, however, i do not think that is usb, right? [20:38] MysteryPig: No you need to leave a little bit of space at the end for swap [20:38] 10.10 [20:38] allowoverride, if nothing's mounted i don't think you could go in there! [20:38] histo: OMG I DID NOT [20:38] MysteryPig: Then just resize again [20:38] histo: how much space should I leave for swap? [20:39] MysteryPig: then right click in the unallocated at the end and create a new swap. Your old swap was 1.38GiB [20:39] my fan works on usb [20:39] still can not see whats in that dir [20:39] histo: there is no longer a unallocated at the end [20:39] MysteryPig: Then resize /dev/sda5 and make it smaller so there is some at the end [20:39] allowoverride, if you've recently plugged in a usb driver of some sort - could you pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail" [20:40] MysteryPig: you also may be able to resize the /dev/sda3 to the left but i'm not sure if gparted can do this. [20:40] histo, MysteryPig yes, it can do it [20:41] histo: there is 423.59 GiB of unallocated at the end now [20:41] MysteryPig: that would be the way to get rid of the unallocated in the front. Is resize /dev/sda3 to the left [20:41] MysteryPig: huh? [20:41] http://inetpro.org/pastebin/10481 [20:41] MysteryPig: you mean MiB right? [20:41] histo: oh yeah sorry [20:41] The error I'm trying to fix is ImportError: No module named wxversion whey I attempt to run the command "python start_client.py" [20:41] MysteryPig: I would make it a little bigger unless you want it that small? [20:41] Is there a better forum or channel for me to use? [20:42] what file sets the default browser in ubuntu? [20:42] histo: how big? [20:42] MysteryPig: likie I said your old swap was 1.38GiB [20:42] What's the easiest way of getting gnome3 with gnome shell on Ubuntu 10.10? === drew is now known as ExpressYourself [20:42] histo: how many MiB is that? [20:42] MysteryPig: but ultimately it's up to you. [20:42] Hi, is there anyone here who uses Deja dup to backup? or can something with it? [20:42] MysteryPig: 1,380 [20:42] allowoverride, well the kernel sees your phone Qualcomm i assume - but if it doesn't show up as a drive (and I'm not surpised it doesn't) I don't know what you can do. haven't played with phones much. best of luck man. [20:42] histo: whats the most MiB i will ever need for swap? [20:43] ZykoticK9: its prolly cuz of the fuse service [20:43] MysteryPig: depends on how much RAM and if you are running 64bit or 32bit [20:43] ill check the perms for this user [20:43] histo 32 bit [20:43] MysteryPig: how much RAM in the system [20:43] ill let yo uknow [20:43] After failing to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 10.10, any action I take with apt-get (including installing xulrunner, dist-upgrade, removing any packages) gives me something like this: http://dpaste.org/CWUa/ . How can I fix this? [20:44] how do I install libcurses & libncurses? [20:44] histo: not sure, /dev/sda is 232.88 GiB [20:44] MysteryPig: no RAM like memory chips. Type free in a terminal and it will give you a total [20:44] nahledge: apt-get install libncurses5 [20:44] need help! enyone? [20:44] ZykoticK9: just a note, it worked before prior to clean upgrade. [20:44] type mem in a term [20:45] I go to hardware drivers and it doesn't show any, why is this? [20:45] histo: total used free shared buffers cached [20:45] Mem: 1018008 580516 437492 0 37176 309560 [20:45] -/+ buffers/cache: 233780 784228 [20:45] Swap: 0 0 0 [20:45] MysteryPig: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:45] allowoverride, may i ask what a clean upgrade is? [20:45] clean install [20:45] MysteryPig: 1gig of RAM. I think you are fine on anything over 1,000 MiB in size. [20:45] allowoverride, clear now ;) [20:45] as opposed to a dirty upgrade === xavier is now known as Guest75204 === Guest75204 is now known as Xardas [20:45] Hello.

[20:46] My luck, i just lost an piece of myself in around somewhere here. -.- [20:46] anytime you upgrade from one version to the next, its an upgrade. semantics here [20:46] MysteryPig: now when you recreate swap make sure you tell it it's a linux-swap partition [20:46] allowoverride, and no other usb drives work either? [20:46] im working on all that [20:46] ill be back [20:46] What's the easiest way of getting gnome3 with gnome shell on Ubuntu 10.10 please?

[20:47] now, another thing i want to point out, and do not understand,,, why in the users/groups menu does it say i have Use of audio devices unchecked, or network and wireless, when i have those under this users and they work... very confusing [20:48] Adamantus, then i think it's "gnome-shell --replace" perhaps to start it (it's not in GDM!) - use Alt+F2 the type "DEBUG EXIT" or similar to quit!

[21:54] Oprah is lame [21:54] n270. 1GB RAM [21:55] TriBlox6432: How is it inefficient for you right now? Care you explain? [21:55] Just really slow and laggy. [21:55] i dont think the fuse mod is loading at boot time... sighs.. [21:55] TriBlox6432: All programs or only some? Is the HDD access light always on? [21:56] lsmod shows usb_storage is loaded currently === usagiakumu is now known as smuximan [21:59] Does anyone know how to automatically import all missing keyrings into Synaptic/APT? === marrus is now known as marrusl [22:00] it appears ubuntu and company are creating little gui programs to dull the mind of users from trying their hand at cmdline. afuse - case in point [22:00] allowoverride: well, there's always gentoo [22:00] true [22:01] tes [22:01] i was speaking on behalf of all the windoze users coming to ubuntu [22:01] what was i thinking... [22:01] Anyone knows why unetbootin removed the custom cernel settings? [22:01] Nisstyre65: there is always freebsd of which i use continuously [22:01] It's nice how the usual things of in terms comes into showing news on the country areas.

[22:02] *let's discuss it on #offtopic [22:02] er, #ubuntu-offtopic [22:02] "Ulkoministeri Stubb mukana homonuoria tukevassa videokampanjassa", is like they already informed some Bill Gates ass raping their children on, that language is btw on finnish. [22:03] so i have an issue, my samsung phone is not connecting as mass storage device in that, nautilus isnt opening up a window showing the contents like it DID b4 prior to clean install to 10.10 from 10.04 [22:03] thats an issue that will be discussed in here Nisstyre65 [22:03] if you have suggestions great! if not,,, monitor someone else [22:03] But then again we got an country President also who could think an single person from America or Microsoft should be allowed to enter into country areas of, some dumb ass shit white niggah woman of. [22:04] Hi I am having a problem getting a service to start up automaticaslluy. I have a config file in /etc/init but nothing comes up after a reboot [22:04] automatically ** [22:04] Looking for soft phone recommendation. [22:04] Ottifantsir: I sent you a link [22:04] allowoverride: well, I don't want to get in trouble [22:04] Nisstyre65: i understand ;) [22:04] but yeah, I like FreeBSD too, though it takes some time to compile ports [22:05] is it possible to have mv -i interactive for all files you are trying to move with a confirmation, regardless of it exists or not [22:05] Nisstyre65: so do you have suggestions to my issue? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [22:05] allowoverride: can you load it manually? [22:05] hi i use linux maverick. in /dev/input i have data through wacom-touch. i thought i configured xorg.conf but have no mouse moving. i'm so close. can anyone help? === dave is now known as Guest5453 [22:06] Nisstyre65: well i dont want to do that at the moment, this is more a user space issue, that needs to be remedied [22:06] most users will not be going to cmdline in a gui world [22:06] however, if you have some suggestions, without threat of losing my data on this card, im all ears [22:06] allowoverride: Depend on GUI, expect fail. Just my 2 cents [22:07] allowoverride: I was going to suggest putting in your user startup script [22:07] not 100% sure how ubuntu handles that [22:07] PhantomString: Thanks for the link, but why did you send it to me in a private message? This is an open support channel, and the solution is for everyone. And it doesn't answer my question. I know there is an article detailing the command on how to import all missing keyrings into APT/Synaptic. Can't find it. [22:07] PhantomString: lol. yah, but it worked before on last 10.04 version [22:07] PhantomString: im using Gnome [22:07] 10.10 clean install [22:07] Nisstyre65: ok [22:07] I also need to get my panel network arrow thingy back. [22:07] Nisstyre65: as in fstab [22:08] or in /etc/init.d/ [22:08] i asked earlier where the sudo service stuff is [22:08] allowoverride: as in rc.local on Arch, but as I said idk how ubuntu does that [22:08] cd [22:08] ottifantsir: Just a habit. But I don't think there is a place to get all missing keys. [22:08] Nisstyre65: i believe its in /etc/somewhere a whole dir of startup scripts, prolly /etc/rc.... [22:08] ill check [22:08] <`Panda> hmmm, in 'control centre' I've got install RELEASE, I thought that was @ liveCD etc? Does that mean the system isn't perm installed on here or what? [22:09] allowoverride: nah, ubuntu doesn't use rc [22:09] it uses some other weird method [22:09] which rc dir in /etc is GUI mode start in? [22:09] ottifantsir: I think Debian had a list. [22:09] list [22:09] Nisstyre65: looks like they do, rc0, rc1... rcS prolly for single mode [22:09] nisstyre65: there are rc scripts in ubuntu [22:09] or startup [22:10] !runlevels | Nisstyre65 [22:10] Nisstyre65: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [22:10] oh ok, but it's not the same method as BSD or arch [22:10] Nisstyre65: yes there is an rc.local as well lol [22:10] then just add whatever you need in there as a dirty hack [22:10] tried to install ushare and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/525999/ [22:10] No, not same as Sys V [22:11] Nisstyre65: the rc.local in /etc/ is !/bin/sh -e [22:11] Nisstyre65: its executed at the END of each multiuser runlevel [22:11] question - what is the GUI runlevel on ubuntu? 3, 5, ? [22:12] prolly 3 [22:12] probably [22:12] or 5 [22:12] 3,4 & 5, I think [22:12] looks like it has a bunch of "S" scripts in there [22:14] quiet today huh [22:15] Nisstyre65: whats that /etc file that shows runlevels called? i forgot, init-tab? something, used on other linux distros [22:15] hey all [22:16] tried to install ushare and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/525999/ [22:16] inittab is a Sys V thing [22:16] anyone here on 10.10 and cant use wine from the wine repo? [22:16] yah, thanks [22:16] Ubuntu does upstart [22:16] allowoverride: according to the ubuntu docs there's no more inittab [22:16] they use upstart [22:16] where is runlevels controlled? whats starts the process on ubuntu, what is the script called, anyone? [22:16] init what? 3, 5, ? [22:17] if I had a ubuntu shell handy I'd find out [22:17] !upstart | allowoverride [22:17] allowoverride: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [22:17] anyone here having segfaults on ubuntu 10.10? [22:17] thanks Pici i check it out [22:17] Sean93: try: sudo touch /etc/ushare.conf; sudo apt-get install ushare [22:17] allowoverride: We don't use inittab [22:17] windows > linux [22:17] SerpentX: blasphamy [22:17] SerpentX: this is a support channel, go troll elsewhere [22:17] LOL [22:17] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html [22:17] <_16BitSubsystem_> SerpentX: What does it mean?

[22:18] <_16BitSubsystem_> SerpentX: I hate Microsoft Windows [22:18] lol..somebody said i was trollin hahaha [22:18] Pici: i bet if i typed init 0 the box would shut down quickly [22:18] how wide is the panel used at the bottom of the screen for GDM2 [22:18] <_16BitSubsystem_> SerpentX: lol [22:18] allowoverride: lol yes [22:18] as root though [22:18] allowoverride: Not sure why you need one. Ubuntu is mainly gui unless you go ubuntu server. [22:18] of course it does... and yes root [22:18] SerpentX: it is, and you were [22:19] kantxx: No [22:19] PhantomString: ??? are you saying take away the cmd line from a linux user on his desktop? lolol [22:19] that was bold [22:19] ill be back in a bit, i have to get over that one... [22:19] allowoverride: You have to see the pattern. Ubuntu is going further away from cmdline. If you wish, you can control your services from commandline but a GUI will be started anyways UNLESS you remove gdm [22:20] PhantomString: I use ubuntu without X [22:20] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/526007/ [22:20] PhantomString: xinit can be modified to stop xorg from even starting [22:20] But you are missing the point. He was referring to 'runlevels' [22:20] yeah [22:21] PhantomString: because I told him to add the process for starting fuse or whatever to his startup script [22:21] PhantomString: dont forget all the X stuff is a gui for bash [22:21] hello! i need from help. maybe someone here can help me, so i have an dlink router(wireless) but i can't sniff and scan hosts on lan, someone know that configurations i need change to be make this.. [22:21] Sean93: is there a bug logged for this? [22:21] just as a hack to get it working for now [22:21] ActionParsnip: i don't know, how do i check? [22:21] !bug | Sean93 [22:21] Sean93: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [22:21] ActionParsnip: All the X stuff needs bash? [22:22] PhantomString: no [22:22] PhantomString: most of it is just a gui for terminal commands [22:22] not bash specifically [22:22] PhantomString PM when opportunity provides. [22:22] Looking to get my little panel double arrow back for the network control dropdown.

[22:23] This happened on my other laptop, but I was able to get it back. I don't see the option on my fresh 10.10 machine. [22:23] xcyclist: Alt-F2 nm-applet [22:23] ActionParsnip: yup! nmap fails too [22:24] ActionParsnip: fount just my router 172.31.31.1 [22:24] nothingspecial: Thank you. [22:24] ActionParsnip: found** [22:24] I have a very n00bish question [22:24] ActionParsnip: but here have 3 laptops usgin windows, i'm using ubuntu [22:24] man just asc [22:24] how do I turn on network discovery in 10.10? [22:25] so that my computer is discoverable [22:25] PhantomString: cmdline is necessary if the gui fails for example... and to keep users from learning command is a bad move... but i see your point i guess, i just dont agree with it. for example, i have found in the GUI if you have a wireless connection issue, i simply do a sudo Network-Restart, since unchecking the little handy box in Network-Manager on the sysbar, that never works by the way... so you see, service restar [22:25] allowoverride: well network-manager is trash anyway [22:25] half the time it doesn't even work [22:26] and pptp vpns *never* worked for me on it [22:26] how do I power down/log out? [22:26] replace it with wicd [22:26] DrManhattan: sudo poweroff [22:26] allowoverride: But that logic can be used on any operating system. I can run powershell on windows and you could argue that the GUI on M$ is a frontend to the cmdline [22:26] :) [22:26] I don't see a power icon anywhere [22:26] No I meant with an icon in gnome [22:26] EXACTLY my point. gui's are not the way to go to really get things done [22:26] pr0mised_: i suggest you check the nmap man page, you can ping all hosts in a subnet and record those who reply [22:26] it used to be all the way on the right [22:26] PhantomString: but it isn't on windoze [22:26] PhantomString: why would i argue any point that has to do with windoze [22:26] or cygwin [22:27] windows has a graphical shell [22:27] allowoverride: No one said you shouldn't use cmdline at all. Your references were involving a Sys V like 'runlevel' system but on Ubuntu, it doesn't work like that. [22:27] or anything truly linux ran [22:27] PhantomString: i heard you the first time [22:27] allowoverride: cli has great power and control and gui has n ease of use niceness about it [22:27] ActionParsnip: i try it nmap -sP 172.31.31.* [22:27] nisstyre65: nice.. graphical shell :) [22:27] What's the driver for logitech MX mice?

[22:28] has ubuntu 10.10 been released? and is it stable? [22:28] ActionParsnip: ok omg the questions are so funny here... like "i have a problem with soundcard"... [22:29] !sound | Guest32466 [22:29] Guest32466: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[22:29] yes 10.10 is stable [22:29] Guest32466: burg isn't supported here too [22:29] nothingspecial: im fully aware of a computers capabilities lol why would you load a gui on 32megs of ram? [22:29] Kingsy: it has been releases, but whether it's stable or not is another question [22:29] again, elinks i forgot to load, brb [22:29] zebra1: remember what band of users ubuntu is aimed at.... [22:29] ubuntu is never stable XD [22:29] ^ [22:30] zebra1: never had an issue here, work fine [22:30] blakkheim - the reason i sak is cos usually my ubuntu installation tells me I can upgrade.. and this time it hasnt [22:30] zebra1: Is on 6 of my machines :) [22:30] nisstre65: But not a 'shell' in the sense you get kernel level access [22:30] ActionParsnip: how about connecting a samsung cell phone via usb dongle... [22:30] Kingsy: you probably have it set to only alert you of LTS upgrades [22:30] @actionparsnip: yes i know, but maybe it would be helpfull what is exactly the problem... [22:31] ActionParsnip: 10.10 maverick , lately [22:31] is the codename for 11.10 already chosen? [22:31] zebra1: true be we are human ad can intelligently reply to get to the bottom of the issue, then find solutions [22:31] or any cell where usb_modeswitch is involved [22:31] I fixed the problem with ushare. I looked at this line "/etc/ushare.conf: 22: ,: not found" and thought it might mean there was a problem on line 22 of ushare.conf, and this was indeed the problem.

There are machines on the network that I can't see and they can't see me either [22:33] @actionparsnip: ok u are all write but still its funny becouse you alway heard years ago... everythin works fine exept sound.. today everyone says: sound is no problem on linux !!.. now the problem comes back.. i didnt say the question is stupid or so but its funny [22:33] blakkheim - how do you enable that again? [22:33] photofroggy: smb? [22:33] allowoverride: not sure, if you websearch the exact model phone you have you may find guids [22:33] allowoverride: already installed, not entirely sure how to use it [22:33] photofroggy: you loaded samba specifically? [22:34] allowoverride: I think it was samba that I installed, yes [22:34] zebra1: sound is only an issue if you use soundchips which dont run OOTB, otherwise 9 times out of 10 its some option in /etc/modprobe.d [22:34] i simply open up a nautilus window and type smb://192.168.1.200/somesharename and log int [22:34] photofroggy: all linux, or some others? [22:34] try that and see if you get a prompt [22:34] oh and i use a freebsd smb server to connect to and watch my network [22:35] nothingspecial: What? [22:35] nothingspecial: oh, mainly windows [22:35] nothingspecial: I'm the only one on Linux [22:35] Ok, so I copied over all of my music from my OS X drive (read-only) using Nautilus in "sudo", but all the files and folders are read-only and I can't make them all read/write really quickly. What to do? [22:35] nothingspecial: I can see one other computer, that's it [22:35] chown them [22:35] photofroggy: all your computers - linux or some windows, mac ..... [22:35] photofroggy: Ah I see [22:35] Micheal`, chown?

[22:36] ActionParsnip, yeah I know. :P [22:36] thats what im looking for [22:37] nothingspecial: googling it gives me loads of stuff about installing random crap [22:37] tbh there should be something that comes with ubuntu [22:37] it seems like a basic thing [22:37] Sir_Konrad: you'd be suprised how many would reply with. "I get an error 'cannot find /path/to/folder'" I am OT kidding [22:37] thanks ActionParsnip. Got it all worked out. :) [22:37] what now? [22:37] ActionParsnip, HAHAHA!!! [22:37] Wow. [22:37] photofroggy: My netbook sees all my machines, have you tried ssh? [22:37] zebra1: out of the box. I use onboard sound in all my systems and it always just works in any linux based OS I use with the default sound system [22:38] nothingspecial: ? nope [22:38] Sir_Konrad: so now I say that to cover all bases [22:38] photofroggy: I believe that works with windows [22:38] ActionParsnip, yeah it's crazy. I've been a Linux user for five years and I've never had to use chown. I probably need to read the man page. :\ [22:38] @actionparsnip: yes onboard sound is often no prob [22:39] zebra1: easy life dude :) [22:39] Hello Everyone, Im trying to setup ushare for my ps3 on 10.10 and i need to know how to point it to my public folder. Im new to linux and it is asking # Directories to be shared (space or CSV list). [22:39] # Ex: USHARE_DIR=/dir1,/dir2 [22:39] USHARE_DIR=/YOUR/PATH. What would be path? [22:39] ok can someone tell me why my ubuntu isnt asking me to update to 10.10 ? I have checked my update settings and I have selected LTS [22:40] Kingsy, change it to normal [22:40] Kingsy, instead of LTS. [22:40] Kingsy: I`m not sure, but 10.10 isn`t LTS. Maybe that`s why [22:40] ohhhh [22:40] Kingsy: what does it say in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? [22:41] @actionparsnip: ohh yes... since i use ubuntu yes... today i did a ubuntupresantation at my university and the audience was pretty small but they were pretty impressed.... [22:41] so can someone suggest to me how i can get my usb dongle to see my cell phone? [22:41] on ubuntu using say fuse or some group perm or whatever [22:41] yup that was it [22:41] Would it be like /myname/public? [22:41] 10.10 has popped up now [22:41] thanks guys [22:41] Kingsy: if at the bottom it says: Prompt=lts then you will ONLY use LTS releases [22:42] Kingsy, :) [22:42] thanks [22:42] zebra1: xpud is pretty cool too, as i tinycore [22:44] *google xpud [22:45] So, I've installed both nvidia-current and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run How do I know which one is running? [22:45] hello, im new, can someone explain to me what the directory would be for my public folder? [22:45] @actionParsnip: mhh looks impressive.. i thin i got to try it [22:46] xCruJonesx, For what? [22:46] Is there an Alternate Install for UNE 10.04? The normal download for it doesn't seem to have OEM options, help? [22:46] Want to stay away from 10.10 [22:46] zebra1: try multiple distros dude, its educational [22:46] It seems that nvidia-current crashes opengl glxglears glxinfo and NVIDIA don't. every few restart gdm it works, so is there a conflict? If I uninstall nvidia-current I don't get X [22:46] I tried - everything else epic failed when it came to using my raid0 drive to install to [22:46] ubuntu worked great. [22:47] fedora = fail , gentoo = fail [22:47] tphive: just keep /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades prompt as lts and you will ONLY upgrade when the next LTS comes out [22:47] RHEL/Centos would probably work fine too [22:47] DrManhattan: something tells me you don't know much about gentoo [22:47] blakkheim, mmm hmm. [22:47] Will_, im trying to share my public folder on ushare so my ps3 can use the files. It says to # Ex: USHARE_DIR=/dir1,/dir2 [22:47] USHARE_DIR=/YOUR/PATH. What should i type to point it to the public folder? [22:47] hello, should i use gnome osd or xosd? for rhythbox?? [22:49] so i have a folder called public that i want to share, do i just need to type in /public and it will share whats in the folders or do i need a longer path, say /mycomputername/public for it to share that folder? [22:49] hello, i've followed some tutorials on internet, but i cant make my atheros5001 to work, can somebody help me [22:49] @actionparsnip: yes i should i know.. but i need to do much for the university... i wanted to install debian a half year ago but i never did.. [22:49] ? [22:50] hi I am trying to make some configuration changes for php. I made the changes to the file at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, but they aren't upading in php. Is there a file somewhere else that I can configure php? [22:50] <|NX|> Hey guys [22:50] hey nx^^ [22:50] <|NX|> How do I automatically login as root [22:51] ActionParsnip: Staying away from 10.10 is only one thing, the reason I want an alternate install is because the normal disk doesn't seem to have any way to run an OEM installation, no F6 or "Advanced Options". I'm preparing this for a client, and want to retain the 'Out of the box experience'. (OOBE) [22:51] xCruJonesx: I don`t have a ps3 and I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you are trying to share stuff over your lan an ip address might not be a bad idea [22:51] inb4 someone goes nuts about root [22:51] <|NX|> ?? [22:51] <|NX|> Can someone tell me how to login as root? [22:52] ehmm [22:52] its not a good idear to log in as root [22:52] INXI: You don`t [22:52] |NX|: usually someone will go crazy and say "don't use root" etc here [22:52] NX: Yes, but it's advised against [22:52] nx use sudo [22:52] zebra1: you can log in as root in a terminal [22:52] then just su back to whatever [22:52] <|NX|> no [22:52] <|NX|> I mean [22:52] of course ubuntu locks the root accunt, but still [22:52] <|NX|> how do I log in as root [22:52] <|NX|> from the GDM [22:52] |NX|: that's a terrible idea [22:53] don't do that [22:53] how do i print PDFs that Ghostscript (and thus many applactions using it's libraries) can't read? I can view in Okular, but even the print preview is blank. [22:53] |NX|: see what i mean? they won [22:53] t help you [22:53] NX: If you want a root shell, type "sudo -" or "sudo bash" [22:53] yeah [22:53] INIX: If you don`t know how, then don`t do it. If you did know haow you wouldn`t :) [22:53] but don't log in as root through your login manager [22:54] That was badly typed, but I hope you see what I mean [22:55] I would like to download the Wordpress Codex (http://codex.wordpress.org/) and I need to use wget. I'm not so familiar with wget just yet, anyone wants to help so I get the links working locally when done and so on?

[23:19] |NX|: If you knew enough to be careful enough to use graphical root login, you could figure this out yourself. [23:19] i dunno i was following the instructions from http://www.andrews-corner.org/mutt.html#download [23:19] <|NX|> I'm sure i could [23:19] <|NX|> with enough time and energy [23:19] Alice88: ah sorry, using mutt, I don't know. [23:19] is my ntfs partition just the name it shows up as? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm using ubuntu to try and save the data from my windows drive and im sadly unfamilair with it [23:19] <|NX|> but I'm assuming ya'll are smart enough to have figured it out already [23:20] Nick_Hold: sudo fdisk -l [23:20] |NX|: you'd be surprised.. [23:20] nx just go to tty2 for example and start a xserver with sudo [23:20] that should work [23:20] Nick_Hold: find the /dev/sd?? of your partition [23:20] <|NX|> zebra1: i'd like to do it automatically each time [23:21] No, just a new command line [23:21] Nick_Hold: ? [23:21] I tried sudo fdisk -l and it gave me nothing? [23:21] then you can edit you standart user and make him root [23:21] big l not a number one [23:22] ok ? [23:22] My friend says I need root at the beginning of every session. How do I autologin as root? [23:22] Rad-, Your friend is wrong :) [23:22] <|NX|> Rad-: I've been trying to ask the same thing [23:22] <|NX|> no one will tell me how [23:22] Rad-, why would you need root? [23:22] !noroot | Rad- [23:22] Rad-: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [23:22] I don't know. He says I have to run commands. [23:22] He gave me a file. [23:22] Rad-, what commands? [23:22] @nick kbay here again did you create any mount point like .. if it is ntfs , create a mount point in /media [23:23] Uh, I don't know. Says I need root to use it. [23:23] Rad-: Start by explaining what your end goal is. [23:23] My friend said I can do really cool things if I autologin as root. [23:23] <|NX|> I'm trying to login as root [23:23] Gave me a file with cool stuff in it [23:23] <|NX|> every time [23:23] Rad-, What if he gave you commands to erase your computer? Or install things to log what you type? [23:23] <|NX|> all the time [23:23] told me to run it when i log in. [23:23] Rad-, What cool things? [23:23] Rad-, you have maybe followed an incompetent advice [23:23] like i can make my background flash by pressing some things. [23:23] hey all [23:23] <|NX|> can you just tell me how to do it [23:23] gryllida, Or a guy trying to take advantage of him :) [23:24] |nx|: i already told u [23:24] <|NX|> instead of telling me why I shouldn't? [23:24] Rad-, i have been using ubuntu for months and never ran a stuff as root onlogin [23:24] <|NX|> zebra1: no you didn't [23:24] just edit the standart user [23:24] @krag, I dont think i did, plus terminal is now telling me it couldnt create a child proccess [23:24] Rad-, say what the file contains [23:24] <|NX|> I don't know what a standart is [23:24] |NX|: Don't do it. What would you need a root-account for? [23:24] |NX|, We don't have to help people kill themselves :) [23:24] <|NX|> Terp: To prove I can use a root account [23:24] i can't, gryllida [23:24] he was using my account. [23:24] <|NX|> because, you know [23:24] |NX|: To whom? [23:24] and somehow ended up puttin ghte file on there [23:24] Can anyone confirm that using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuNetbookEdition/amd64 for but with the 32 bit version would work? Or can point me in the right direction. Reason would be to be able to use the OEM mode function of the standard disk, then drop in the Netbook resources and take out whatwouldn't be in UNE. Ending up as if there's a functional netbook edition [23:24] 10.04 with OEM functionality. THanks. [23:24] <|NX|> I used windows from 3.1 all the way to XP [23:24] i've been trying to open it, but it's not working. [23:24] <|NX|> and never had issues with root permissions ;P [23:24] INIX I think you`re playing, but if you`re not, don`t do it. Or learn enough to do it without asking [23:24] says i don't have permissions or something like that. [23:25] Did he hack my computer? [23:25] <|NX|> I don't see why I can't operate as root if I want to [23:25] Should I take it to geeksquad? [23:25] Rad-: Now I know you are taking the ...... [23:25] last rad [23:25] |NX|: open what as root? [23:25] ?? [23:25] takng the what? [23:25] |NX|: you can operate as root [23:25] hi, how do I install a source package? [23:25] <|NX|> photofroggy: everything [23:25] !sudo | |NX| [23:25] |NX|: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [23:25] my friend is super computer smart!

[23:26] Rad-, then you friend should be able to help you. can he/she not? [23:26] <|NX|> histo: thats what I'm asking about :P [23:26] erm [23:26] |NX|: Running as root all the time is putting your security at a great risc. [23:26] he's the one everyone goes to for help [23:26] <|NX|> Terp: I'm aware [23:26] set your permissions to allow you to do eveyrthing [23:26] *everything [23:26] <|NX|> I believe I can manage that risk [23:26] |NX|, If you don't know how to run as root, you shouldn't be using root [23:26] |NX|: although there is a reason for sudo if you'd like to learn why sudo is used. [23:26] @ elky he says i have to figure out how to autologin as root [23:26] <|NX|> I'd like to demonstrate to myself that I can manage that risk [23:26] he won't tell me how. [23:26] Rad-: ask him, or use another distro [23:26] <|NX|> I understand why sudo is used [23:26] if i run a wine application wich makes the whole computerscreen black, what do i do? to get back to linux? ctrl+alt+f1 didnt work either [23:26] <|NX|> but I'd prefer to do things differently [23:27] Ah... Such a long time, such reminiscence ... I dont even remember how to use this shit though [23:27] nothingspecial: will another distro let me do this? [23:27] |NX|, Use Windows 7 [23:27] |NX|: well then all you have to do is set a root password then you can login as root [23:27] anyone uses fail2ban? [23:27] |NX|: System > administration > users and groups > advanced settings [23:27] <|NX|> So I just set a password on the root account [23:27] is there like a killswitch like ctrl+d or c? [23:27] <|NX|> and I'm good to go? [23:27] |NX|: knock yourself out [23:27] just tried to dual boot a dell inspiron 6400 laptop by reinstalling windows first, however, once it restarted to install the components the CD rom stoped working and bios doesn't detect it.

[23:27] !root | |NX|, Rad- [23:27] |NX|, Rad-: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[23:27] This is the best channel [23:27] <|NX|> histo: and it will let me login as root once I set the password? [23:27] I swear [23:28] <|NX|> from GDM? [23:28] Okay can anyone tell me WHY no one will tell me how to autologin as root? [23:28] is there a way I can verfiy a package installed correctly with it's dependancies from teh command line? [23:28] Rad-: Ubuntu will let you do this, this is linux, do what you want......... If I told you how i`D GET banned [23:28] @ nothingspecial can you tell me why no one will tell me? [23:28] nothingspecial, really? [23:28] |NX|: sudo passwd root in a terminal [23:28] nothingspecial, thats stupid.... [23:28] Rad-: because it is a stupid thing to do [23:28] Why is it stupid? [23:28] |NX|: if you just want to temporarily be root you can just sudo -i [23:28] My computer isn't going to explode =\ [23:28] <|NX|> I don't want to temporarily do it [23:28] I just want to do cool things! [23:28] Rad-: for one, it's completely unecessary [23:28] <|NX|> I want to do it 24/7 [23:28] <|NX|> 365 [23:29] Then how would I run cool things? [23:29] |NX|: then use the above mentioned command and set a password for root. [23:29] By using sudo and gksu. [23:29] Rad-: sudo [23:29] ubnutu doesnot allow autologin as root .. temporary amdinstrator status is achieved by command sudo [23:29] Rad-: IceCas I`ve been running linux a long time. I uise sudo [23:29] does sudo let me autologin as root? [23:29] |NX|: currently the account is locked because one is not set. If you ever want to disable it then you would sudo passwd -l root [23:29] uise >> use [23:29] Rad-: no [23:29] i thought sudo was the install command? [23:29] what does the findtime on fail2ban refers to? [23:29] Rad-: No it does not, but it let's you run cool stuff. [23:29] Rad-: It lets you login as root at will, anytime, anywhere. [23:29] |NX|: Rad- http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html [23:29] Rad-: it's not. Read the link ubottu gave you [23:29] can i have the link again? [23:30] Rad-: Or atleast act as root. [23:30] nothingspecial, no I'm saying that they wont let you explain how to activate sudo or your banned. That's stupid. What happened to all that freedom talk...? [23:30] Rad-: the install command is apt-het [23:30] !root | Rad- [23:30] uh [23:30] Rad-: 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 [23:30] apt-get [23:30] i added a port forward rule with iptables -A ... where do i put this in /etc/??? to make it apply at boot [23:30] !iptables | thearthur [23:30] thearthur: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[23:31] Rad-: Yeah, pretty much. [23:31] can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/PVhPTzjn [23:31] <|NX|> Rad-: Root is God [23:31] <|NX|> If you login as root, you become God [23:31] <|NX|> they do not want you to be God [23:31] logging in as root is dangerous.......

[23:33] <|NX|> I am not your friend, buddy [23:33] i'm not your buddy pal [23:33] But what if I only run the code my friend said? [23:33] Terp: ok thanks [23:33] i just want to autologin as root [23:33] <|NX|> I'm not your pal, guy [23:33] i can logout later, right? [23:33] Rad-: talk to yoiur friend about it - stop discussing it here [23:33] I'm not your guy, dude. [23:33] Rad-: we do not support your friends code [23:33] <|NX|> I'm not your dude, friend [23:33] Alice88 it looks like it cant find /usr/bin/procmail. I guess you can try sudo apt-get install procmail [23:33] |NX|: Gerwin stop it please [23:33] how do i temporarily disable iBus ? [23:33] Rad-: Go away, ask somewherelse, I`ve told you why [23:33] then can anyone tell me how to get permissions to read the file? [23:33] i have read it. " these steps will leave you unable to use NetworkManager for the interfaces you modify" where is the proper place to save iptables rules. the docks from the bot are very out of date [23:33] Rad-: You can, but in that case you should disable the root account again when done. I think you can use sudo to do the exact same thing without enabling root though. [23:34] jrib: can you help out with some user/group perms, i dont know why my user can not view a usb dongle'd cell phone is seen by the kernel and usb, but at the same time, not opening a window on nautilus like it used to prior to clean install the other day from 10.04 to 10.10. known bugs? suggestions? thanks [23:34] ikonia: I wasn't gonna go any further anyway, but sure. [23:34] thank you IceCas i'll try [23:34] Rad-: Use sudo to read the file. [23:34] Gerwin: thank you [23:34] i just installed 10.10 but every time i boot i get "Loading operating system..." and it never boots. i have tried 2 different HDDs now and both do the same thing...

[23:35] lol here we go [23:35] Rad-: That is stupid to do :) [23:35] Rad-: if you don't know how to open a file, the contents of it will be nonsense to you, [23:35] there's only one line. [23:35] Rad-: talk to your friend [23:35] delete everything :) [23:35] jrib it lsmod shows the mod usb_storage, but a 0 not 1, [23:35] Rad-: don't run it [23:35] Rad-: Don't run that file. [23:35] IceCas: thank you!! i think it worked.. i don't know for sure for no one has sent me an email... [23:35] Rad-: You`re taking the P**** [23:35] ? [23:35] Rad-: It will try to remove everything from your computer. [23:35] lsusb shows its see's the manufacture ID [23:35] why? what does it do? [23:35] WHAT [23:35] Rad-: it will try to delete your file system, and fail [23:35] Lol send yourself an email [23:36] WHY DID HE TELL ME TO RUN IT [23:36] Rad-: so please stop discussing it [23:36] >=[ [23:36] I'm angry. [23:36] Rad-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:36] jrib whatelse would you like to see in cmdline? [23:36] IceCas: good idea [23:36] Rad-: talk to your friend, this is not appropraite for this channel [23:36] Rad-: Go away [23:36] I'm going to go kill him. Byebye [23:36] bye [23:36] allowoverride: is it mounted? [23:36] jrib when i issue a mount, it shows its not mounted [23:36] hi is there any difference between normal, atlternate and minimal install. from what i understand they are just different ways to install, but the resulting system will be the same (leaving different package choices aside). is that correct? or do they have different default settings, different dirvers or different kernels? [23:37] thearthur: read the whole page... [23:37] it does show gvfs-fuse-daemon on ~/.gvfs [23:37] Benkinooby you cannot ask that question and leave different package choices aside [23:37] Benkinooby: alternate is a text mode install, minimal the same buth.....minimal [23:37] Benkinooby: you can install minimal then build up to only install what you need [23:37] i loaded afuse and did a reboot as well [23:37] anybody have any ideas on my ssh error? [23:37] !helpme | ahaney3 [23:37] ahaney3: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [23:37] Benkinooby: the OS is the same but the amount of stuff installed is different, unless you install the ubuntu-desktop package [23:38] every time i try to boot i get "Loading Operating System ..." and it never boots... how can i troubleshoot this? [23:38] Jygga, my question is, if i will get the same system after all, if i install the same packages. i want to know if there are "deeper" differences. [23:38] jrib im pretty sure i had to do something b4 on 10.04 to get this cell phone to show up automagically [23:38] jrib, that is also not helpful. [23:38] allowoverride: what happens if you try to mount it? [23:38] i havent tried [23:38] azlon: whaqt are you booting to an install or a cd? [23:38] im scared [23:38] Benkinooby: the alternate CD installs in text mode and is also able to offline update an OS [23:38] thearthur: it's the answer to your question. [23:38] ActionParsnip, thanks, that was the answer i was looking for [23:38] no Benkinooby its the same kernel [23:38] Jygga, thank. that was what i wanted to know [23:39] its considered serial but usb_modeswitch changes that to mass_storage [23:39] histo, i already installed to a HDD from the CD, now i am trying to boot from the HDD [23:39] Benkinooby: a default ubuntu comes with a whole tonne of crap you may not need or use, you can install only what you need to get a punchier OS [23:39] thearthur: do you have a question other than the one you asked? The wiki page tells you how to save and restore iptables. And if you prefer, you can have it play nice with network-manager. [23:39] jrib i dont know what fs to mount it as [23:39] Benkinooby: What sort of system do you want? [23:39] allowoverride: what happens if you don't specify one? [23:39] you mean, just mount -a? [23:39] !grub | azlon [23:39] azlon: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:40] !grub2 | azlon sorry I thought they updated the trigger [23:40] azlon sorry I thought they updated the trigger: 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 [23:40] Benkinooby: a good example is if all you need is a web browser, you can install minimal then install chromium and thats all the OS will do [23:40] i could create a dir in say /mnt/cell and sudo mount - -o rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cell [23:41] IceCas: it didn't work says i'm unknown user :( [23:41] jrib i am wondering why its not mounting by itself [23:41] allowoverride : try sudo fdisk -l to see the disks connected, I think it will also show the filesystem if it knows it. [23:41] k [23:41] brb [23:41] allowoverride: yeah if /dev/sdb1 is where the system thinks your card is. [23:41] nothingspecial, the point is that i installed ubuntu to my netbook, but soon started to strip it down. now i use fluxbox and run gnome in very seldom cases. so i wanted to knwo if there is a difference between installing ubuntu and stripping down and installing minimal and building up... [23:41] jmills: parted does, if you use: sudo parted -l you will see the fs [23:41] jrib nothing showing other than normal mounts [23:41] sda1/2/5 [23:42] Benkinooby: Oh yes, minimal and build [23:42] Benkinooby: no [23:42] linux/extended/swap the basics [23:42] Benkinooby: you can install minimal then install fluxbox and get a minimal fluxbox desktop, you can then reboot into fluxbox and install only the apps you want [23:42] jrib, you sent a canned from-response with four links and said "read the whole page". that sort of like saying "read the whole internet" the page from that list i'm looking at says you have to add your own network init script which implies that ubuntu does not have one. it also says that you should use UFW, which maintains its own set of rules in its files. more specific answers are best, and no answer is better than a very v [23:42] ague one [23:42] n8 guys [23:42] im gonna ck /dev [23:42] histo, why no? [23:43] Benkinooby:There is no difference. Ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage which is a collection of apps that are installed by default. If you installed minimal and then installed ubuntu-desktop there would be no difference. [23:43] t.dk] has quit IRC [23:43] 12:37 buddy • Device Au [23:43] Benkinooby: X is not essential, aslong as you don`t want to do fancy stuff. What do you useyour netbook for? [23:44] ActionParsnip, nothingspecial the point is that i allready invested a lot of time (and tears ;) ) in my ubuntu install and i wanted to know how much difference i can reach when reinstall with minimal. i think by now my system is very close to what i want, so i was wondering if a minimal install is worth the risk [23:44] histo, ah ok, thank you [23:44] Device Audio : Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller [23:44] histo: ok, so since i'm not even getting to the Grub menu i am going to boot again from the CD then run gparted. in gparted i am going to make sure my HDD is set to bootable... does this sound about right? [23:44] Alice88 unknown user? what program are you using [23:44] jrib i did; ls -altr /dev and it shows udev,char, ptmx [23:45] i have a asus m5200n notebook but my soundcard doesnt work and i cant find the solution, can anyone help me [23:45] this is my driver [23:45] Device Audio : Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller [23:45] Benkinooby: you will probably get the same OS. I wouldn't fix something which isn't broken [23:45] ActionParsnip, never touch a running system ;) [23:46] buddy: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh use http://pastie.org to give the outpt [23:46] huh ? [23:46] azlon: yes if it is you can also reinstall grub [23:46] Hey I have a pending sftp transfer from my workplace to my Home using putty? is there a way to check the progress on my home pc? [23:46] Benkinooby: the only reason you would want to start from minimal and go from the ground up. But either way you receive the same result. [23:46] buddy: run the command, go to the site and paste the text, then click paste ad the page address will change, paste the new address here [23:47] Benkinooby: ActionParsnip You may think I am mad, but I watch vids, view photos blah, blah ....... etc, without ever starting X on my netbook [23:47] IceCas: do you know the file size? [23:47] nothingspecial: very possible [23:47] nothingspecial, how do you do that? [23:47] nothingspecial: how exactly would you watch a vid with out X? [23:47] ok [23:47] About 600mb it's a Windows CD [23:48] here is what sudo lsusb -v yeilds.... [23:48] http://inetpro.org/pastebin/10482 [23:48] histo: framebuffer [23:48] IceCas: you could check the file size on the home pc [23:48] histo I know I could just look at it in my directory but I'd rather look at via CLI [23:48] but ActionParsnip i have windows [23:48] nothingspecial: with what player? [23:48] mplayer [23:48] shows up as mass usb storage like it should [23:48] histo, if there is a builtin tool for it [23:48] buddy: then you need to boot to Ubuntu [23:48] i havent got ubuntu [23:48] someone told me to ask my question here ;/ [23:48] do i need to add myself as a fusermount user? [23:48] nothingspecial: ubuntu's framebuffer is pretty jacked I thought at the moment [23:48] I'm getting a bunch of errors trying to add my gmail to evolution in ubuntu. Anybody have any idea of what I could be doing wrong? It errors out authentication-wise, yet I don't see what's different from evolution vs thunderbird and t-bird works... [23:49] histo: works for me [23:49] i added myself to /etc/group fuse: [23:49] thearthur: I pointed you at the iptables link specifically. In any case, the page covers several cases and is more helpful than I can be in a single line on irc. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you to read a wiki page. In any case, have you found your answer now? [23:49] nothingspecial: hrm... [23:49] and i have uncommented /etc/fuse.conf user_allow_other [23:49] histo: bad in jaunty [23:49] !enter | allowoverride [23:49] allowoverride: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:49] buddy: windows isn't supported here [23:49] opps ok, ill try to put them all in one line [23:50] buddy: this is the ubuntu support channel, nothing else [23:50] nothingspecial: yeah I haven't checked with it in a while but I pretty much just use ssh in to my server. I really don't use X much other than browsing [23:50] do you know the right channel ?? [23:50] buddy: ##windows [23:51] histo: I sshfs videos from my server and watch them on my clients - no X [23:51] nothingspecial, can i pm you? [23:51] Benkinooby: sorry, I have disabled pms, but I appreciate you asking [23:52] Benkinooby: But you can ask me here === david is now known as Guest87831 [23:53] nothingspecial, i always tried to understand the whole X thing and read man pages, how-tos and websites. but still i don't get the "big image" of it and often get confused with all these X-things. i didn't want to flood this channel askinf you some things about that (since it seems that you have some undertanding of it after you managed this frambuffer thing and stuff) [23:54] the only thing stopping me from ditching X is flash in web browsers [23:55] ActionParsnip, so you don't use a gui? [23:55] jrib are you still with me? [23:55] Benkinooby: Well, I don`t fully understand it my self, but I can watch videos and view pictures (photos) without it [23:55] nothingspecial: what about screen and framebuffer any issues say if you where playing a video in one then switched screens [23:55] allowoverride: yes, I just want to know what happens when you attempt to mount it [23:55] ok, can you give me the fs to use to mount it with? [23:55] Benkinooby: when flash comes to non-x browsers, i won't [23:55] allowoverride: no [23:55] jrib dont know how? [23:56] histo: screen does not play atm, switch to another tty [23:56] nothingspecial: ahh [23:56] allowoverride: it's impossible for me to know what fs is on your device. This is why I suggested not specifying one at all first [23:56] i want to be a good programmer is it best for me to learn in windows or ubuntu ? [23:56] and why [23:56] jrib howto? syntax? [23:56] histo: Benkinooby give me a minute [23:56] ActionParsnip, could i have a screenshot of your desktop when you are working without gui? i just want to know how it looks like. e.g. if you are using tmux/screen and stuff. [23:57] allowoverride: mount BLOCK_DEVICE MOUNT_POINT [23:57] ok [23:57] Benkinooby: i use gui as I like flash [23:57] how can i tell which device it's showing up as in /dev? [23:57] allowoverride: use dmesg [23:57] Benkinooby: its all text based, I can fid you screenshots of examples if you like [23:57] O_O [23:57] ActionParsnip, yes please [23:58] jrib, the answer to the iptables question is "apt-get install iptables-persistent; put rules in /etc/iptables/rules" btw [23:58] I typed LANG=C and now stuff's in Catalan [23:58] Benkinooby: http://cs.ozerki.net/zap/maemo/mc.png file browser [23:58] http://inetpro.org/pastebin/10483 [23:58] oh, I did LANG=c ... still weird [23:59] i do not see listed as being used currently other than ptmx and shm [23:59] ActionParsnip, but in textmode do you use tiling via screen/tmux? or do you use virtual terminals fo every single thing [23:59] i really think this is a perms issue, or user/group issue
