I've tried to upgrade everything on my system but it does not seem to work. Running Ubuntu 10.10. Any idéas? [00:06] galusr can you pasted it at paste.ubuntu.com and describe what you need it to do? [00:06] PhantomString: explain a little more... messages show it is working, and i would think as a mod as i pasted in bin [00:06] Anyone here know how to install Ubuntu Server 10.10/10.04 from a USB drive without getting CD error? [00:06] tried unetbootin icy_¿ [00:06] icy_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:06] or can direct me to some links [00:06] allowoverride: is the package usb-modeswitch, installed? [00:07] ahaney3: Thanks. http://pastebin.com/ It's for backing up a directory and then outputting a success log. I've tried both commands manually at the terminal and they work. [00:07] yes xangua, no phantom [00:07] Do this http://paste.ubuntu.com/526055/ [00:07] PhantomString: ill double check, im pretty sure it is. sb [00:07] stand by [00:07] ahaney3: Sorry http://pastebin.com/KvWa8DcY [00:07] icy_: did you test the ISO before transferring it? [00:07] no [00:07] how do i test it [00:07] hello, I just installed ubuntu from the alternate installer, but towards the end (after installing and creating my primary user), root was giving that user permission to do things but the install froze. I shut down and restarted and boot works fine, but this user doesn't have a desktop, doesnt have permission to execute anything, etc... is there a command that will give this user control of his own home? [00:07] icy_: then how do you know it was consistent or complete????? [00:08] galusr and you want it to run those commands every night at 12:02? [00:08] !md5 | icy_ [00:08] icy_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:08] because it boots from the image, i see the application [00:08] PhantomString: yes it is [00:08] it just fails on detect CD step [00:08] Well I'm just using the current time to test. Once I get it working I plan to run it @ 4am. [00:08] and other ppl have had the problem [00:08] icy_: the ISO may possibly be faulty, MD5 test would have shown this [00:08] ahaney3: Well I'm just using the current time to test. Once I get it working I plan to run it @ 4am. [00:08] I tried to download the ubuntu iso, and I dd'ed it onto /dev/sdb1(flash drive). It ain't working — why? [00:09] ahaney3: Daily. [00:09] galusr, might I suggest setting the crontab file to run every minute and see if it will do that properly? that way you know it's not a time related error? [00:09] Even though it is from official ubuntu site? I have used the same method on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 without fail. [00:09] how do i moniter system temps? [00:10] sie: did you MD5 test the ISO? [00:10] anyone able to help me to create a bootable USB for windows XP in ubuntu ? [00:10] Benkinooby: Use byobu [00:10] !sensor | n0a1ias [00:10] also, I believe you have to restart crontab after changes, sudo /etc/init.d/crontab restart [00:10] ahaney3: Yes I have tried that. I have been modifying it and setting it to run then at the next minute to test. Strangely the echo command is creating the log file but not writing the text into the file. [00:10] !sensors [00:10] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

Feel free to reinstall 10.04, though. [00:21] pwillz: there's something i don't follow. unity isn't the default interface in 10.10... [00:22] nothingspecial, hm... must have missed something... somehow i can't follow you [00:22] LjL, netbook [00:22] pwillz: ah ok. well i don't think you can downgrade to the other interface (not sure though), but Maximus at least is still available as a package [00:22] #ubuntu-it [00:22] word [00:22] Thanks B-) [00:22] You can't use 10.04's Netbook interface in 10.10. [00:23] weak [00:23] why would ubuntu go with unity, i mean.... UGH [00:23] its so... BLAH RArahrgh FUFLF URGLE [00:23] LjL: algorithm might have been the wrong word. if you take the same file and trancode it to the same bitrate in, say, h264 on a cpu vs. gpu, i would think the output would be just about the same, if not identical [00:23] pwillz: why would ubuntu even split in 2? [00:23] i literally almost kicked my child [00:23] the gpu will just generate it faster [00:24] i need a favor my ubuntu always give me wrong after the finish some instalation [00:24] lol - and just imagine, 11.04 Unity is the default interface for Ubuntu too. Hope everyone doesn't react the same as you have. [00:24] LjL: lol replied in the wrong channel, sorry :) [00:24] Benkinooby: I talk, I use a cli only system. I wish I could read cbr files on it.

[00:28] nothingspecial: modern browser [00:28] gh0st, i've never heard/remember .package as a format. I'd be interested to know what the terminal command "file whatitscalled.package" states the file is. [00:28] histo: For what?? [00:28] nothingspecial: unless you've been able to get firefox working with framebuffer but people are having troubl with it. [00:28] alright gh0st i've never actually encountered a .package file one se thouhg [00:28] nothingspecial: youtube facebook etc...

But i've heard some mumblings of firefox running in fb so i'm looking that up [00:30] gh0st i'm with whoever said they've never heard of that, i haven't either. [00:31] ZykoticK9: AHHHHH!! there we go! i kept going $ bash ./******.package but $bash *******.package worked [00:31] nothingspecial: however performance in fb is not going to be as good as running X with a lightweight de/wm like ratpoison etc..

[00:57] Eventyret, gettext [00:57] id10t: now i got it trying again === jrib is now known as Guest7535 [00:58] id10t: no error now though [00:58] id10t: just LOADS of text [00:58] id10t: think it worked im gonna test [00:59] I'm hoping somebody can help me identify the package I should file a bug against [00:59] I'm deploying a fleet of laptops and using pxe boot & preseed [00:59] id10t: think it worked [00:59] in the process I'm creating an admin user and setting a root password [00:59] Hello all. I need to record phone calls I make thru Google Voice. I'm using Audacitiy for this purpose but so far I've only be able to record my own voice. Ho can I make Audacity record my voice AS WELL AS the other party's??? TIA! [01:00] Eventyret, cool, you owe me a beer :) [01:00] when I deploy laptops, I create new accounts and give them sudo privileges [01:00] these new user accounts can use sudo or gksudo just fine [01:00] Eventyret, still getting errors [01:00] Eventyret, I can get mail, just cant send it [01:00] what they cannot do is successfully get things like the automatic prompts for password when updates are available to work [01:01] or, for example, when firefox prompts for the install of flash [01:01] coxn, is your sudoers file default still? [01:01] id10t: yes. no change there. [01:01] and again, if they do a 'gksudo synaptic' or a 'sudo aptitude' they are fine [01:01] Anyone familiar with the Unity Panel settings? [01:02] hey i need some advice: I have an intel centrino 6300 N wireless card...but using the drivers that ubuntu 10.10 automatically installed, I only can connect to wireless G bands, and my wireless N connection either doesn't show up, or will repeatedly disconnect and reconnect [01:02] it is only when they click on the software center from the Applications menu or are prompted from (again, for example, firefox) an application that it does not work [01:02] coxn, what groups are they in? or are they exactly like the default first user created during setup? [01:02] roasted: what error is it :P [01:02] roasted: pm me it =)7 [01:03] id10t: fine *gife a bear* [01:03] id10t: oh got another one if you got time [01:03] id10t: nvm xD [01:03] Eventyret, sure, just ask... mebbe someone else will know more :) [01:03] mrnelson1986_, There was an article on ubuntuforums about going back to earlier stable drivers to fix these types of problems. [01:03] id10t: can you make a WinXP usb for NTFS oO or is it just FAT32 oO ? [01:03] id10t: or doesnt that have anything to say === Quantum_Ion is now known as The_God_Father_O [01:04] roasted: but your using gmail right ? === The_God_Father_O is now known as God_Father_Of_Ja [01:04] Imagineer66, i did a clean 10.10 install, i never had another driver [01:04] Eventyret, yes.

[01:05] Eventyret, when I hit send/receive, it seems to GET mail fine, but it gives me that error after it locks up on smtp for a while. [01:05] mrnelson1986_, even so, the earlier drivers will work with 10.10 [01:05] How can I repeat a command every 10 minutes? [01:05] id10t: all the boxes under the "User Privileges" tab after "Advanced Settings" button in the GUI interface [01:05] Imagineer66, ty, so i'll just look for a post on ubuntuforums, you have any idea of keywords that may have been in the title? [01:05] id10t: they are in all the groups as the initial user, plus a few more [01:06] roasted: can you login via web ? [01:06] mrnelson1986_, I was trying to find my bookmark [01:06] Glowball, cron [01:06] Eventyret, yes. [01:06] Sometime ago I told my 10.04 box to not automatically mount my iPhone when I connected it. Anyone know how to change that setting? [01:06] roasted: no errors or capata [01:06] Eventyret, gmail works flawlessly with thunderbird and webmail. I just dont know why its being a brat with evo. [01:06] mrnelson1986_, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/ [01:07] roasted: hmmm what ports you using for SMTP out [01:07] again, this is not an issue of these users lacking sudo [01:07] is where is will eventually lead you [01:07] glowball - crontab [01:07] gksudo and sudo both work for these users [01:07] If I add a script into /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom and make a new initramfs, why won't it execute? I can't even just echo one line. Any help deeply appreciated [01:07] Imagineer66, i really appreciate it i will look at that [01:07] coxn, what about startup in the background processes? some gnome/kde utility... [01:08] roasted: evo had a ass with me due to the ports where wrong or you might have missed a @ or something [01:08] Eventyret, I put the addresses in like that link did - imap.gmail.com:993 or whatever it was. [01:08] mrnelson1986_, That's what the community is all about, paying it forward === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [01:09] roasted: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-904692.html [01:09] I am using 5MB of my ubuntu one storage. Whenever I try to copy a file in to ~/Ubuntu\ One, a little box appears telling me that my storage is full. However, if I use the web interface it works perfectly well [01:10] id10t: I'm not sure I understand the question [01:10] I'm creating these end users via the graphical interface [01:10] is that not the expected way? [01:11] because if the expectation is that users with administrative privs will be created through some other mechanism... [01:11] (a) that seems odd/silly, and (b) I want to know about it. [01:11] coxn, i would think so [01:11] anyone know of a channel to ask gnome questions? [01:11] I was fiddling around with the System > Preferences > Network Connections thingy, and now my network does not start when I boot; although if I do 'ifconfig eth0 up ; dhclient eth0' then everything is fine ... how can I make it start automatically again? [01:11] coxn, i was thinking it was an issue of the popup for updates not appearing at all, so the user is never prompted for them [01:11] tried to rmmod and rmmod -f module , can't unload it always got module in use or "ERROR: Removing : Resource temporarily unavailable", then after i wait a while i can unload , but i'm sick of always can't unload at the start and have to wait, maybe sometimes also i have to reboot , any comment ??? [01:12] id10t: nono, the user is definitely prompted for updates, which is the main time when we see this bug. === Pinako is now known as pinnae [01:12] coxn, ah [01:12] Hello all.

[01:14] Could someone direct me to a guide on how to change from gnome to lxde? [01:14] I was one of the many experiencing problems with the new xorg in 10.10 while running the nvidia driver -- has this issue been addressed at all? [01:14] coxn, but pulling something out of my butt, can you write a wrapper shell script that calls gksudo manually to start update-manager? [01:14] rumpe1: Right, I got my cron line. Do I just have to add it to /etc/cron.d/anacron and it'll be fine? [01:14] f00bar80 what module? [01:15] replicasex: what issue ? [01:15] wireless interface driver [01:15] id10t: I don't need to if people are going to initiate things; they can just use gksudo [01:15] Eventyret, huge issues with it freezing the system especially when playing video. I had heard a lot of people had this problem so I went back to 10.04. [01:15] id10t: the issue is that when they are prompted by any interface to elevate their privs where they didn't start explicitly with gksudo [01:15] Evelynn, essentially the problems made the system unusable. [01:16] id10t: for example, when they are prompted for updates. Or when they click on the software center from the application menu [01:16] replicasex: oh i havnt had any problems so far, i just issues with my wifi freezing my reboot :P [01:16] coxn, i've googled it but can't find a reason or a way to get rid of that [01:16] or when they are prompted to install flash from firefox [01:16] f00bar80: what module? [01:16] Evelynn, apparently it's an issue with the nvidia driver and the new xorg in 10.10 [01:16] cox, rt2860sta [01:16] coxn, ah... [01:16] how do i upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 ? [01:17] coxn, rt2860sta [01:17] ???????????????? [01:18] f00bar80: why are you trying to rmmod that module? Is the wifi card hanging? Maybe you want to blacklist that module and use a different one?

[01:18] I was fiddling around with the System > Preferences > Network Connections thingy, and now my network does not start when I boot; although if I do 'ifconfig eth0 up ; dhclient eth0' then everything is fine ... how can I make it start automatically again? [01:18] Eventyret, wow, I feel stupid [01:19] coxn, , that's the latest one i think [01:19] so does anybody know of any updates to the nvidia driver or xorg? [01:19] !notes | replicasex [01:19] replicasex: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [01:20] ChogyDan, O.o thanks === dave_ is now known as NilBuder [01:20] roasted: oO you owe me beer now ? :P [01:20] replicasex: there are relevant links in there [01:20] roasted: hope it worked though...

[01:21] f00bar80: take a step back and please describe what you are trying to accomplish rather than the rmmod problem. Are you, for example, trying to get a wireless card to work that does not currently work? [01:21] good luck [01:21] HELP!

[01:25] the only thing the nvidia driver says is [version current] -- does anyone know what version that is? [01:26] For blocksizes in dd, does the bs determine the final outcome of the bytes on the file? [01:26] I have a server, running desktop Ubu 10.10, it's running a shell script in a terminal window on the monitor connected to the box itself. Is there any way to stop the script using ssh? [01:26] drmp420: you can run the command "top" in a terminal, or run the system monitor from your menu to see if there is a program using a lot of CPU [01:26] well, I trying to use google talk and I have no clue how to set it up. I guess I don't have buddies [01:26] replicasex: apt-cache policy nvidia-current [01:27] Beryl: your question doesn't really make sense, what are you trying to do? [01:27] zaery: if the script shows up like in top, could you do a killall on it? [01:27] thanks will look at that, total newbie here [01:27] Beryl: no, just how many are copied at a time [01:27] IdleOne, am I to take it that this command will reveal the current version number of the nvidia driver (and nothing else)? [01:28] I'm trying to copy files. "dd if=whatever of=output bs=1024" does the "bs" matter? [01:28] zaery: yes, if the system is running sshd, and you have login credentials [01:28] Nvm, rww answered. [01:28] my fan keeps surging high and low, i've already tried lm-sensors and most of the fan control utilities out there (they can't detect my fan)... someone have any opinions? Does the linux kernel have any control over fan speeds or regulating temperature? [01:28] replicasex: it will reveal the version of the installed package and the available version in the repos [01:28] Thank you, rww.

[01:30] I'm running 10.10, is there a way to downgrade to the version of grub2 that was installed in 10.04? [01:30] Tweedle: just ask your question [01:30] hm [01:30] well according to the release notes my driver version should be compatible [01:30] Eventyret, my issue was I had a stuck email in my outbox causing the error, not the actual server settings. I had it right all along. Man. I suck. :( [01:30] Eventyret, mucho thanks for the help tho man! [01:30] when i try to type "su" my password fails, so i am VERY confused [01:31] don't use su [01:31] !sudo | Tweedle [01:31] Tweedle: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) .

[01:32] anyone here with extensive experience with fans? I'm having fan surging problems and it's super annoying :( [01:33] drmp420: you could try installing the 'powertop' stuff - that may give you some tweaks to reduce its power and heat. [01:33] #teste [01:33] everything that uses 10.04 and later like ubuntu , caine and deft will not boot from usb > what is the problem here ? [01:33] drmp420: its possible that win7 has some better drivers/optmized things to let it throttle down the cpu better on win7. [01:33] Does anyone know if Kubuntu uses the same version of xorg as Ubuntu? [01:34] replicasex: yes - it should. [01:34] In my bootloader, there is the same things repeated over and over [01:34] how come? [01:34] Dr_Willis, sigh :( [01:34] Let's just say i want to kill a process that looks like this when i run ps: 30703 pts/1 00:00:00 sumthing. How would i do that?

[01:35] Solved: you have a lot of old kernels. Try moving the older ones out of the way, then regenerating grub.cfg [01:35] Solved: 3 differnt kernel versions, with a recovery option for each... [01:35] hi all! [01:35] how to host a software to Ubuntu software center? [01:35] Dr_Willis, the problem is that apparently my system's nvidia card/driver isn't very compatible with it. [01:35] Dr_willis: what do you mean by kernels [01:35] Dr_Willis, it's frustrating. [01:35] !kernel [01:35] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [01:35] I need to configure q4wine but it doesn't fine /usr/lib/wine [01:35] why?

[01:36] ubottu: cute bot! :D [01:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:36] hmm [01:36] would my root password be the same as the one i set during the install? [01:36] Tweedle: most likely [01:36] yes [01:37] it should be [01:37] !root [01:37] 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 [01:37] Tweedle: don't think in terms of a "root password" [01:37] ok, so i want write a script that assigns a global keybind to another script [01:37] so any1 here can please tell me where is /usr/lib/wine in Ubuntu? q4wine needs that [01:37] Tweedle, There isn't a root password by default in Ubuntu [01:37] from what i've red there's no clean way of soind this as it requires some hackery... maybe somone could point me the _easiest_? [01:37] nUOVO i notice here on a 64bit install i have --> /usr/lib32/wine/ [01:37] I need help getting a wireless connection to my Laptop [01:37] Dr_Willis: oh because I have amd64 also! [01:37] let me see [01:37] Is there any way to change the names of the partition options in the boot loader? [01:37] How does 'sudo' worked compared to escalating priveledges with issuing 'su root'? [01:38] Tweedle: There is no root password by default. the initial user has sudo rights.. the sudo password is that password. [01:38] ta-daaan!!! :D [01:38] ty [01:38] metaphaze: sudo will ask for your password, su will not. [01:38] metaphaze: its better to use sudo -s, or sudo -i, as needed. [01:38] hey drwillis ran powertop [01:38] * replicasex is sad over the whole ordeal [01:38] metaphaze: su = Superuser [01:38] now what should i look for [01:38] sudo allows you to do everything that you would normally be able to do as root, but one command at a time [01:38] Solved, if I am logged in as metaphaze, and what to su to Dr_Willis or jane, or root, it will ask me for the the usr's password. [01:38] metaphaze: the initial 'enviroment' may differ in those cases also. [01:38] oh, when I press alt+f2 what should i digit to get terminal? [01:39] when I sudo it allows me to run admin tasks as my user, by asking my password. [01:39] metaphaze: thats how it works. :) [01:39] But metaphaze is not root, is he? [01:39] ??? [01:39] but by defualt theres no root password. so you cant su to root. [01:39] man [01:39] su = set user id, not super user [01:39] is evolution slow, or does it just take a while to heat up? [01:39] you can su any account [01:39] everything that uses 10.04 and later like ubuntu , caine and deft will not boot from usn whats the problem here did something change [01:39] Dr_Willis: how do I get rid of the older kernels in the bootloader? [01:39] nUOVO: you could just hit Control+Alt+T [01:39] that you know the password to, so it is not super user [01:39] do I need them? [01:39] Solved: use the package manager and remove them. is one way. [01:39] ^usb [01:40] xangua: ty [01:40] Solved: they dont hurt anything. the newest should be the default. [01:40] why do the repos contain an ancient version of znc, which works as a web proxy and enyone using that znc can connect here and get booted off the server with the proxy scanner? who and when is going to update the znc in the repo with a newer version? [01:40] Dr_Willis, that sounds not a security flaw, can I set a root password, diff then my user acct? [01:40] Dr_Willis, I prefer to use the terminal [01:40] Dr_Willis: is there a specific command I can use? [01:40] and can someone give me some docs with story about in Ubuntu there's *only* sudo and not su? [01:40] how do you open a root terminal without typing "sudo su" [01:40] sudo apt-get remove ( )? [01:40] Solved: sudo apt-get remove whatever [01:40] Can someone help me i can not connect to my wireless internet i am currently connected throughmy neighbors ethernet [01:40] nuovo, there's su too [01:40] it doesn't ask for root pwd during install [01:40] con-man: use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' [01:41] yes but how do I know what to replace "whatever" with [01:41] i know that [01:41] nUOVO, apparently there is no root account... [01:41] Solved: If you make a mistake with your grub configuration you can render your system unbootable ... if you don't really understand what you're doing, your best bet is to leave it alone [01:41] Dr_Willis, what is this difference exactly? [01:41] This is confusing me too [01:41] metaphaze: Huh? not having a root password is not a security flaw. its a security enhancement accordding the the info on the topic ive read. [01:41] dougb_freebsd: I am willing to take the risk in order to learn [01:41] metaphaze: and why it doesn't ask during install? [01:41] If you tell me the correct commands, I will not make the mistake [01:41] root doesn't come enabled by default, you'll have to sudo -s then passwd to set a password for the actuall root user [01:41] Dr_Willis is right, sudo > root [01:41] con-man: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [01:42] Dr_Willis, so who is root then? The creator of the enviroment? The first account installed? [01:42] is there a command to get rid of older (useless) kernels? [01:42] !sudo [01:42] 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 [01:42] metaphaze: there is the root account.. but by default its basically 'locked down' [01:42] Solved: rm /boot/ [01:42] root is the system administrator, with maximum privileges [01:42] Dr_Willis, sounds good, but dangerous if the user uses less then secure passwords, or other issues.

[01:59] Solved: or did you? [01:59] ejv: it's not a good idea to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly, it is likely to get wiped out by some automated process [01:59] dougb_freebsd: i do it all the time, should be fine for some minor display changes [01:59] ejv: I didn't say "impossible" I said "bad idea" :) [02:00] At the moment, I believe ejv is helping me to scrub clean the remains of the older kernels, but yes Gnea, that is also something I wish to do [02:00] Gnea: like I want to rename the ntfs partition to Windows XP << looks like he wants to rename a partition.. nothing to do with grub [02:00] how can i tell if bluetooth interface is disabled?

[02:02] ejv: if he was successful in removing the old kernels, 'sudo update-grub' would be a better way to start then editing the grub.cfg directly [02:02] you know, installing different desktop environments -- that's generally a bad idea, yeah? I've heard it leads to significant instability. [02:02] Solved: if you're worried, back out of the file (ctrl+x) and sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bkup, then go in and make changes [02:03] what are the restricted multimedia packages and where do I find them?? TIA! [02:03] dougb_freebsd seems to be an authority on this, so if you removed the old kernels like i instructed before using apt-get remove, run update-grub and see if that removes the old ones, then we can go in and change the silly names [02:03] Solved: ^ [02:03] Hi [02:03] silly [02:04] :D [02:04] 哇 有中国人不 [02:04] ejv: I have ran update-grub and it seems to have done this [02:05] I was wondering, by definition would the MBR be the essence of a filesystem?

[02:16] taofd: ah, then it is almost certainly a bug ... try reflashing, and if that does not work, poke your manufacturer [02:16] rinku_kokiri, N00bsauce, one of the things about pulseaudio, is that it sometimes has problems finding the correct sound card... you *can* force pulseaudio to directly use a certain card by using a different means of finding modules.

[02:16] dougb_freebsd, thx for the help though, you've been more helpful than any of the answers i've received the past 2 days :) [02:16] glad to help [02:16] ... sorry it wasn't better news [02:16] rdw200169, i forced it to use my creative hw... still represents a problem though.. waiting for it to surface again [02:17] "The MBR is first of what could be many partition sectors, each one containing a four entry partition table."

I have an inspiron 8500 and I can't connect wirelessly to the internet. What should I do? [02:17] It has a brodcom wireless adapter, or something like that [02:18] rinku_kokiri: N00bsauce also, running pulseaudio from the command line may help diagnose exactly what problems pulseaudio is encountering with using your soundcards [02:18] Is anyone else here had problems with using GDM as an XDMCP after upgrading from Lucid to Maverick? [02:18] dougb_freebsd, well its fine, like i said, i just bought it from costco a few days ago... i buy these sorts of things from costco for this very reason :/ [02:18] also, i CAN play two medias at the same time, and adjust both independantly (one being adobe flash.. youtube) [02:18] (XDMCP server rather) [02:18] @sofaking88 did you try installing the driver from "menu>preferences>additional drivers"?

It is that , when you [02:37] left click one disk icon , it is then mounted for you. [02:37] and the original came out with 6pin connector [02:37] and the one replacing it has a 5 pin with 4 wires [02:38] but the 4 wires appear to cover all the bases on the back of the power jack [02:38] is that possible? [02:38]
hello? [02:38] the two black wires that are missing are black on the original one [02:38] I have a picture [02:38] snoot: wrong channel, and your "one line at a time" method of typing is very annoying :) [02:38] o sorry [02:38] bad habit [02:38] where do I go [02:38] Hi,man. Who can tell something about ubuntu's automount windows filesystem. It is that , when you \ [02:38] left click one disk icon , it is then mounted for you. [02:38] dougb_freebsd: what I'm trying you to understand is that all FIVE persons whose phone calls I need to record have signed a waiver for me.

Hola? [02:39] dougb_freebsd, and it only usually requires ONE PARTY to know the call is being recorded [02:40] hola [02:40] rinku_kokiri: In the United States that is not correct, but IANAL, and this isn't the legal advice channel [02:40] Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. Be aware that you will sometimes hear these referred to inaccurately as “two-party consent” laws. If there are more than two people involved in the conversation, all must consent to the taping. [02:40] I was just giving nimbiotics one possible explanation of why no one was answering his question :) [02:40] Is there a tool to re-analyze an mp3 and set the header data for the lenght? [02:40] Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call.

[02:42] I dont know what anything is. I only installed ubuntu to use it [02:42] lyj: you need to install a supported version such as 10.04 or 10.10 [02:42] dougb_freebsd, rinku_kokiri: Please take this to #ubuntu-oftopic, thanks [02:43] rinku_kokiri: seriously, way OT, and I'm done discussing it [02:43] er, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:43] That was totally a disaster to install a new version....

[03:19] ouch that sounds nasty [03:19] yep... [03:19] tibman: I'm guessing the Windows installer puts a bootloader in the MBR, but not the partition, right? [03:19] tibman, does booting into ubuntu and running "sudo update-grub2" find/correct your windows install? [03:20] zykoticK9, i tried that a few times, it says "win 7 found" but it doesnt fix it...

[03:21] ZykoticK9: thank you [03:21] yaoms, glad to help [03:21] i tunred back [03:21] tibman: alright, let me put it this way: when you "fix" it from the Windows installer, does it still load grub on startup?

[03:23] tibman: I don't know what to tell you then. I figured it would put the bootloader in the MBR and you could dd it to the partition. [03:23] Smalltalk, just watch it scroll by for a bit you'll get the basic idea [03:24] tibman, i know the feeling, but i also noticed i resetup my windows pretty quickly(i spent a day, jotting down stuff i should backup/restore/do/add/install) i only forgot my pop3 mail (no biggie) [03:24] I hate grub, it has been the center of many headaches for me [03:24] * Anom01y is away: TRP idle [03:24] hello. i want to mount a raid on boot (/dev/md0) what is the best way to configure that?

[03:46] atari2600a: sorry,i dont know how to add files to iso.Maybe you should ask somebody else [03:46] roasted: using pop¿ [03:46] imap, with gmail xangua [03:46] jayd3e: yes you can as long as the kernels are the same version, make sure you copy the firmware as well (/usr/lib/firmware or /lib/firmware) [03:47] hesham: how would I go about transfering the drivers? and exactly what directories would I have to transfer [03:48] roasted: then just drag them to the trash directory instead of deleting it using the evolution menu [03:49] xangua, is that a serious suggestion [03:49] Around The World - Dune Greatest Hits (Utmost nice music) [03:49] jayd3e: you should transfer the kernel modules for the RT wlan, which driver are you using? the rt2860sta? [03:50] yah [03:51] then its the rt2860sta.ko file in /lib/modules/`uname -r` folder [03:51] roasted: Always copy [03:51] how do i find the mac address of an access point? [03:51] BadAnthems, always copy? [03:51] roasted: You should not need to ask me that. [03:51] Move along now [03:51] BadAnthems, well, I am. [03:51] can someone tell me what the channel is for xbmc as all my plugins have errors when i run them [03:51] :) [03:51] Nahledge: iwconfig [03:52] I'm sorry. Is this a support channel? [03:52] hasham: in this path /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers [03:52] its showing me my own wireless device... is there anyything i have to append to that? [03:53] roasted: Always copy important stuff before you remove it. To move means no inbetween storage mostly. [03:53] jayd3e: yes its somewhere in there, use "find -name rt*sta*" to find the exact location [03:53] BadAnthems, I'm not trying to copy anything. I jsut want my emails deleted when I select delete. I don't want them re-emailed to me 20 seconds after I intentionally delete them. [03:53] Nahledge: no, in the output there should be Access Point: xx:xx:xx... [03:53] i wanna install "gaim" Im [03:54] roasted: They are in your mailserver queu ? [03:54] BadAnthems, I use evolution at work, and I dont have this issue. I just decided to use evolution at home because I like the extra functionality but I can't seem to figure out why I just get my emails back that I delete. [03:54] queue [03:54] but it was replaced by pidgin how can i get "gaim" [03:54] genupulas: install pidgin its the new gaim [03:54] Okay let me rephrase this. The only thing I know how to find is the SSID (I think its called this) in this case its Anges1. [03:54] BadAnthems, well, I'm using gmail with imap. I don't have anything in my gmail web interface at the moment... [03:54] BadAnthems, not sure if that answers your question. [03:54] genupulas: pidgin is formelly gaim...... [03:54] Knowing nothing of linux, and starting at this point. [03:54] Where do i go from there [03:54] BadAnthems, however, it says I have 1 email in my inbox, yet when I click on inbox, it says empty. lol? [03:55] hashem: do i want the one in /net/wireless or in /staging? [03:55] roasted: Set your Evolution email client to not delete emails and somehow the database pulls what you already have maybe ? [03:55] Nahledge: maybe you should mention the main problem, are you trying to connect to a wireless network and having issues? [03:55] roasted: From the pop server [03:55] jayd3e: /net/wireless [03:55] BadAnthems, by pop you mean imap? mine is set up as imap. [03:55] hashem: and also is that really the only driver I need, because I went through a whole process of installing a driver and it embedded a number of files in my system> [03:55] No I'm trying to figure out the mac address or any information on it in general. In order to use aircrack-ng [03:56] hashem: were all of those files only necessary to create that one file? [03:56] roasted: you always have a pop/imap server [03:56] xangua, when i am going to connect with gtalk it not getting connect and showing ssl error and connecting with other yahoo,msn etc only the problme with gtalk account [03:56] xangua, username and paswd fine for that from me [03:56] Nahledge: oh, so you're not connected to it already, then use iwlist scan [03:57] roasted: Put and get. This is what email is about. Some also have push, but thats hardly good securitywise [03:57] xangua, but when i deleted already added acnt and adding it again then it will for that session only [03:57] genupulas: no problems here using the latest pidgin 2.7.5 [03:57] xangua, ok [03:58] xangua, let me check my version [03:58] its 2.7.3 [03:59] BadAnthems, hm, I see. I dont know, its just confusing me as to why this is happening. I dont have this with thunderbird on the same email acts.... [03:59] xangua, is it possible update specific pkg [03:59] never had problems with that version either genupulas, you could try #pidgin but i don't think there are too many people alive at this hour [03:59] hashem: and also is that really the only driver I need, because I went through a whole process of installing a driver and it embedded a number of files in my system> [03:59] hashem: were all of those files only necessary to create that one file? [04:00] let me xangua [04:00] genupulas: yes, you can update pidgin following the instructions at pidgin.im [04:00] jayd3e: most likely yes this is the only file you need. there should be no harm trying to load the module and checking the dmesg output, if anything else is required it would show you there [04:01] roasted: Same isp's in between the mailserver/pop server ? [04:01] BadAnthems, same everything. same dang computer. [04:01] BadAnthems, I can open thunderbird, works fine. same two gmail accts, imap, setup, etc. [04:01] Can someone direct me to a good OSX theme? [04:01] BadAnthems, I mimiced the same setup to evolution when I began to adapt to it tonight [04:01] BadAnthems, but like I said I have this issue... [04:02] roasted: You have forgotten something. What it is i cannot tell :) [04:02] BadAnthems, um.. [04:02] I'd be really, really happy if you'd tell me. [04:02] hashem: one more question, shouldn't the two installs be acting the same as far as my wireless goes? does the server install not have a module installed tht it needs? [04:02] seeing as though this is a support channel and I'm quite frustrated, to be completely honest with you. [04:03] roasted: Trust me, youve forgotten a tiny detail somewhere in your setup. Go over it again!. [04:03] jayd3e: rtsta module need compilation, it can't be included the default installation due to license issues [04:03] BadAnthems, Ive been over my setup about 40 times. [04:03] seriously... can you just give me an indication on what you are referring to. [04:04] roasted: Ah, a deadlock. Remove the new email client. Erase this email clients settings in your home directory: "ls -la" [04:04] BadAnthems, you think thunderbird's settings being existent (even though thunderbird isnt running) could result in that happening with evolution?? [04:05] hesham: right but I went through the same exact process to install rtsta module in my Ubuntu-Desktop install as I did with the server and yet somehow I got results on one and not the other. It is important to note, that on my Server Edition install, wlan0 never changed to ra0 after compilation; however it did on the Ubuntu-Desktop install [04:05] roasted: No, the new email client's settings [04:05] while building the ubuntu kernel using instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ... doing make mrclean takes out the debian/ directory [04:05] BadAnthems, the "new" email client is evolution. You want me to wipe evolution's settings? [04:05] any idea whats the best way to bring it back [04:05] roasted: Yes, and evolution. Then install it and begin again. [04:06] BadAnthems, and evolution - you mean and thunderbird? :P [04:06] hello. is there a program that can tell me the wattage my comp is using? [04:06] nessus in any repos? [04:06] roasted: Just evo. It should work, i trust you. [04:07] jayd3e: well it seems the built-in modules were not blacklisted, you tried rebooting the server? or if that's not possible then try modprobe -r (any old modules) and reload rtsta [04:07] BadAnthems, hm, thats strange because I JUST set up evolution... [04:07] BadAnthems, but Im trying with both tbird and evo removed, then setting up evo again. === administrator is now known as Guest73535 [04:07] roasted: Version of Ubuntu is ?

I've followed a howto which said to edit /usr/share/applications/screensavers/glslideshow.desktop however that hasn't made any difference [04:09] BadAnthems, I found about 5 guides online that all told me to do the same thing - SSL for receiving, TSL (or whatever) for sending. [04:09] TLS* [04:09] roasted: Naah, use SSL for ANY [04:09] BadAnthems, it said in every guide to use TLS for sending [04:09] I use xmonad as my window manager. I'd like "nm-applet" to run automatically. How can I have an application (nm-applet) launch when I boot into Xmonad? [04:10] roasted: Most isps people dont know what they write. [04:10] it wasn't anything to do with an ISP [04:10] it was specifically for setting up evolution with gmail [04:10] roasted: The understanding is the same. [04:11] lol [04:11] it still came back [04:11] I just emailed myself from 1 acct to another [04:11] I delete the message, and blam - its back in 15 seconds in my inbox, unread [04:11] Hello.

[04:26] dante1: look for some sort of headphone jack sensor option and turn it on. [04:26] roasted: like i said, just trad them to your trash folder [04:26] hello, i'm using brasero burning software, it works alright, i'm wondering if it's ok to burn at maximum speed if I have large video files also with it. What's the advntge of burning at such a low speed? [04:26] xangua, that cant be a serious suggestion. [04:26] xangua, when I delete an email, it should delete. [04:27] Im sorry to sound picky, but thats just kind of ridiculous. [04:27] In the Midnight Hour! HardCore viiibes! :) [04:27] brick_: lower speed produces fewer burn errors.

[04:57] can mplayer use pls files? and how do i fix "failed to open LIRC support" === Guest51825 is now known as dhruvasagar [04:57] starn: I don't think mplayer on its own does pls's, but totem does. [04:58] starn: have you tried pls with mplayer? let me know [04:58] rotrot: so far it does not work. [04:58] MagusOTB_: is totem CLI? [04:58] starn: me too. i simply paste the url in the pls to the commandline. works [04:58] You can start it from the cli... Are you talking about like framebuffer CLI? [04:59] starn: ffailed to opend LIRC supportt is nothing you have to care about, unless you want to use LIRC, iirc its linux infra red control [04:59] rotrot: i get seek failed. [04:59] ohhh.. i do not have infra red stuff on computer. [05:00] roasted: Do you have any filters defined? [05:00] starn: yeah, lirc is a remote control program. Unless it's stopping playback, I wouldn't worry about it. [05:00] poohstix, nothing I set up separately. [05:00] MagusOTB_: i don't think its effecting play back i assume the pls file is. what formate does mplayer support ang again is totem CLI? === drew is now known as Guest58337 === K4k is now known as Guest32275 [05:01] starn: what do you mean "Is totem cli" if you mean "can you start it from a terminal with an argument that is a .pls" then yes. If you mean "will it run without xserver" then no. [05:02] starn: sorry. can i have a link and try that one? [05:02] roasted: sorry can't connect to my desktop running evo at the moment. I have had the same problem in the past, just can't clearly remember how I resolved it [05:02] if im trying to image a hard drive why isnt it it taking the whole drive? [05:02] :( [05:02] thanks for trying bro [05:02] rotrot: i'm using my own playlist to files on my computer. [05:02] hesham, I posted on the forums under the username roasted about this issue. If you find a fix and think of it, could ya bump my thread with some input? :) [05:03] roasted: sure i will keep checking [05:03] MagusOTB_: yes i mean as in no Xserver. command line interface like moc and mplayer. and few others. [05:04] hey guys i just upgraded through update manager from 10.04 to 10.10 and cant find software sources among many other small problems can anyone work with me to try and resolve a few? [05:04] can any artists here recommend me any *good* drawing apps that they actually use for their professional works? [05:04] starn: no. but if you're manly enough to be using framebuffer movie players, can't you use sed to convert a pls file into a shell script that will invoke several mplayer instances in sequence? [05:04] roasted: you are not running any other client at the same time? mobile client, another computer etc? [05:04] hesham, nope. :( [05:04] taofd: gimp [05:04] !pm > diego [05:04] diego, please see my private message [05:05] snarkster, do you actually use it for production work? i feel that the way layers are organized and some of the other UI features is kind of awkward :( [05:05] MagusOTB_: i'm just getting into this CLI stuff and i'm loving it so far. [05:05] roasted: you see when you delete IMAP messages in evo it doesn't remove them just marks them for deletion, and finally deleted when you empty trash. it seems some other client is unmarking them in the meantime [05:05] maco: your pastry hat's showing [05:05] taofd: um im not professional, but MyPaint is *excellent* -- if you have a tablet. i do brush calligraphy with it, but its got watercolour and oil simulations as well [05:05] rww: oh right i was gonna remove some old +q's [05:05] hesham, what if I switch from imap to pop? [05:05] maco, okay i'll take a look at it [05:05] taofd: actually my artist friend who is sitting on the couch across from me uses it daily.. I turned him onto ubuntu and he hasnt looked back [05:06] roasted: it should delete directly from the server when using POP === zipp0 is now known as zipchick [05:06] hesham, so if I switch to pop, technically the issue would be sorta resolved. right? [05:06] roasted: yes [05:06] hesham, the only downside is, if I leave my client open, I cant hit my inbox with messages that evo would have already intercepted. right? [05:07] roasted: careful -- pop has a subset of the features of imap. You might be disappointed. [05:07] roasted: right [05:07] taofd: there is a learning curve but it is free [05:07] poohstix, I really dont see what "features" I would be missing out on. I just want my email to send/receive/delete :P [05:07] roasted: :-) Got it. [05:07] roasted: you should be able to set which dir to use for Trash, no? [05:08] maco, I think so... I think I saw that option... let me check quick. [05:08] roasted: you will not be able to use server side folders with POP, only Inbox, no sent items etc. [05:08] roasted: then set it to use your webmail's Trash dir, so it moves deleted messages there, that way when you empty trash on webmail or expunge in evolution, itll be the same thing [05:08] taofd: can we talk private for a sec.. I wanna send you a link to my friends deviant art page. [05:08] snarkster, sure thx [05:08] maco, ehh I have a thing here for drafts and sent, but not trash. ehh. [05:08] roasted: oh boo. i wonder if that was why i switched to KMail... [05:09] roasted: Which provider? [05:09] maco, I really, really like evolution. I just. want. to. delete. my. email. :( [05:09] maco, I dont have this problem with evo at work, and I use imap at work... [05:09] poohstix, comcast is my ISP, gmail is the email I'm using. [05:09] So on my network issues, the network manager icon is showing in the upper right of my screen, but it says it's not running [05:10] roasted: the "expunge" option (ctrl+e iirc) should force the delete...but if its using a local trash instead of remote im not sure how well thatd work [05:10] and the app is enabled in the startup list [05:10] maco, hm, do you know how to tell which one its deleting to? [05:10] In order to get this connection to autostart again I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces [05:10] *sigh* i think this is telling me what the next patch i should write is... make-evo-trash-configurable.patch [05:10] roasted: well if theres no config optino for what dir to use as trash, then it only has a local one :-/ [05:11] switch-all-ubuntu-users-to-mutt.patch [05:11] roasted: (Sorry for following -- not a gmail user) So you're using IMAP to gmail, which is fetching mail from comcast? Rather than accessing comcast imap directly? [05:11] maco, why isnt this an issue for me at work then? Granted Im using exchange and not gmail, but I'm still using imap... [05:11] roasted: gmail delete does not work with evo [05:11] hesham, whaaaaaat. [05:11] roasted: http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/gmail-with-evolution-and-trash-bin-how.html [05:12] gmail's implementation of imap does not follow the specs [05:13] so maybe Ill just use pop [05:13] yeah, that was *definitely* why i went to KMail... [05:13] cuz i'm a gmail user [05:13] I only used imap cuz I was told to use it [05:13] maco, so kmail handles the gmail thing better? [05:13] yes [05:13] maco, that whole K thing scares me tho... [05:13] personally I'm quite fond of tbird 3, it's what tbird was trying to be all along [05:13] roasted: i guess its better to switch to thunderbird/kmail/zimbra desktop instead of evo+pop [05:13] you tell it "use [GMail]/Trash as trash" and then it *does* and everything is lovely [05:13] I've tried KDE so many times and been let down... well... every single time... [05:14] roasted: you can use kde apps within gnome :P amarok is very popular! [05:14] maco: mail clients doing what you want? what is this heresy [05:14] dougb_freebsd, I like tbird a lot, but I want a calendar integrated with my client - and dont even bring up the lightning extension... many headaches there. [05:14] and when you reach the point of "this gnome app doesnt have the configuration option i want" ... well, thats the point where kde apps start looking good ;-) [05:14] maco, yeahhhh I know. I just try to stay as gnome-pure as possible. come to think of it that sounds kind of stupid, but hey.. is what it is :P [05:15] roasted: i used to do the same because qt3 was ugly and didnt know how to match theme with the gnome desktop. qt4 can look native though [05:15] hesham, this link is also from 2009 ya know... I wonder if theres been a patch? Then again, if it still aint working, I guess not :P [05:15] maco, yeah.. I dont know.. gnome looks normal and presentable to me. I just dont like anything at all about kde apps or kde in general. font choices, size, etc, its all off to me. [05:16] roasted: i don't think there is a patch, if there is you would see the option to selece the trash folder alongside sent items and drafts in your evo settings [05:16] if I go with pop with gmail, what EXACTLY would I be missing out on? [05:16] there isnt a patch [05:16] i was just saying i probably ought to write one [05:16] roasted: POP has no folder support, no support to save sent items or drafts on server === gantry is now known as gantrixx [05:17] roasted: iirc, IMAP pulls down headers without needing to pull down mail body. With POP it's all or nothing. [05:17] hesham, wait, did you read the last entry on that link? [05:17] roasted: aha! [05:17] I'm running 10.10, and the version of grub2 that's installed has a regression. I'd like to downgrade grub2 to the version that was in 10.04, how can I do that? [05:18] wow [05:18] they came back anyway [05:18] seriously. how has this bug lasted this long in evo. [05:19] roasted: its not an evo bug, its a gmail issue, gmail does not adhere to IMAP specifications [05:19] A weird thing happened when I rebooted. It didn't boot up into gdm [05:19] hesham, oh. so how can kmail get away with it? [05:19] hey guys, I just extended the root lv of a headless machine I have but when I run df it doesn't seem to reflect the new room. Did I do something wrong? [05:19] Is there a way to start the GDM/GNOME environment by the command line? [05:19] poohstix: there's also dimap. i <3 dimap. it pulls everything down and caches locally so you have a copy like with pop, but it has all the nice folder support and everything. perfect mirroring of webmail and local maile. [05:19] poohstix, whats the downside of "all or nothing?" [05:19] *mail [05:19] roasted: other clients have created workarounds for such issues, but again not in accordance with IMAP specs [05:19] d.net [05:20] roasted: kmail gets away with it by having an option to pick a different dir to use as trash [05:20] I would like to stop the "extra" folders being created when creating a new user (in /home/newuser/ directory). Does anyone know where I should be looking? (it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the skel dir...) [05:20] maco, ahh... [05:20] hesham, what is IMAP+ [05:20] roasted: main downside is bandwidth. If you've got lots, no downside. I still live in a 2400 baud world in my tiny little brain, sometimes. === Crisco is now known as zz_Crisco [05:22] roasted: enhanced IMAP support in evo, still won't solve your issue IMO [05:22] hesham, perhaps its worth a try :P [05:22] when ever i try to view a webcam feed through the yahoo messenger account on empathy in 10.10 it disconnects the account and says ne reason given. any ideas? [05:23] Guest39599: "adduser --no-create-home", if you're doing it from commandline. [05:23] Chaos2358: the yahoo client version isnt up to snuff for video confrencing unless the other person is using the same client [05:24] snarkster, so the other person using yahoo and me using empathy wont work? is there a bug fix for this in the works? [05:24] hello.... has anyone solved the backlit keyboard failure at bootup for amd64 in 10.04 on a toshiba satellite?? [05:24] Chaos2358: I have no idea.. I know that if your using the same client on both ends it works. [05:24] poohstix: thanks, but it is a little more complex - I am doing via a gui... [05:25] snarkster, ok well thanks [05:25] Guest39599: I figured.... [05:25] your welcome sorrelp more [05:25] Do I have to do something to get a rot filesystem to reflect an extended lv? [05:25] um yah "sorry couldnt help more" [05:25] Chaos2358: you cold try gyachi http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ need to add the ppa to install from repository [05:25] snarkster, thats ok [05:25] I just extended my root lv, but it is not being reflected when I run df [05:26] actually using likewise-open which creates the user upon AD authentication..... problem is ubuntu creates all the other folders... [05:26] xangua, thats is a different chat client? [05:26] im using that new chat thingy that came with 10.10 (prettycool) but if you click the camera thing it crashes [05:26] hesham, I wonder if IMAP+ fixed it.... [05:27] how do I change DNS settings for all networks? right-klicking the network applet gives me the option to change DNS settings for specific networks, wired, and then every single one wireless network. how do I changn DNS settings for all networks? [05:27] snarkster, thats what my problem was [05:27] and lvm wizards here? [05:27] any* [05:27] Chaos2358: it's supposed to support voice and video with yahoo [05:27] gbear14275: ask and you will see. [05:28] gbear14275: you have to extend the ext3 partition as well using resize2fs === dfgass is now known as dfgas [05:28] xangua, ok thanks. would you also be able to tell me how i add software sources to 10.10 [05:28] hesham, imap is confusing the crap out of me. I'm getting the emails back, but they're not bombarding my inbox. they're here in all mail though. [05:28] hesham: ah thanks [05:28] hi all i have windows application after running in ubuntu 10 i am getting error as ActiveX component can't create object [05:28] Chaos2358: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa name" [05:29] i am running application using wine [05:29] collabra: "man resolv.conf" [05:29] getting error as hi all i have windows application after running in ubuntu 10 i am getting error as ActiveX component can't create object [05:29] xangua ok so there is no longer a gui software sources? [05:29] Chaos2358: yes there is, just copy the ppa name to it [05:29] fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) [05:29] hesham: thanks... missed that part in the howto [05:29] hello.... has anyone solved the backlit keyboard failure at bootup for amd64 in 10.04 on a toshiba satellite?? [05:29] I'm running 10.10, and the version of grub2 that's installed has a regression. I'd like to downgrade grub2 to the version that was in 10.04, how can I do that? [05:30] gbear14275: :) [05:30] and manually import the jey Chaos2358 pff i am just to lazy to do all that; so i preffer to use the add-apt comand [05:30] manually import the KEY* [05:31] dougb_freebsd: 10.04 has grub2 AFAIK [05:31] xangua ok i am confused here. there used to be "software sources" in system>admin in 10.04 10.10 doesnt have. i understrand how to do the add-apt but it helps to know what i already have [05:31] yes, but it's a different version of grub2 [05:31] Chaos2358: edit the menu and mark it [05:31] dougb_freebsd: sorry didn't get the question at first [05:31] hesham: no one seems to :) [05:31] xangua didnt see it [05:31] Chaos2358: you can also acces to it from the software center and synaptic [05:32] system>pref>main menu correct to gelect? it isnt there [05:32] hesham, do you know with pop and gmail if theres a way to have TWO separate inboxes for each of my accts? I just set them up to evo with pop and I have 1 inbox :( [05:32] dougb_freebsd: well as grub usually doesn't have many dependencies, i guess a download and dpkg -i of the old grub deb package should do the trick, i would keep a recovery cd handy though [05:33] hesham: already have that one :0 [05:33] ubuntu 10.10 does wine has almost all support , because i am getting error as fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0) [05:33] roasted: pop downloads email to local inbox only [05:33] hesham: what you're saying makes sense, but what I need help with is A) determining the version I'm looking for, B) finding it, and C) the proper dpkg commands ... I'm new to linux :) [05:33] hesham, I understand that. I just want two inboxes for each of my accounts. I had this in thunderbird... [05:34] Chaos2358: when i said edit the menu, i mean to say EDIT the menu (right clic> edit) and search it in the administration section, enable it [05:34] akshu1: wine is a work in progress [05:34] roasted: so use thunderbird :) [05:34] oh wait .. [05:34] dougb_freebsd: the version in 10.04 is 1.98-1ubuntu8 [05:34] poohstix, I'm really trying to infer why you would want me to man resolv.conf,.... any insight you could give me would be appreciated. [05:34] dougb_freebsd, I'd love to. if their lightning extension didnt suck. [05:34] xangua ok that does the same as system>prefs>main menu and it isnt there. [05:34] dougb_freebsd: and you can get it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [05:34] hesham, after googling i saw many pepole gets error as ActieX cant create a object [05:34] runtime error [05:35] akshu1: wine is a work in progress, it does not run all windows software, you can get better help in #wine [05:36] poohstix, You have me essentially clueless at the moment. [05:36] collabra: There are probably more "modern" ways to do it, but entering a line "nameserver 1.2.3.4" (where 1.2.3.4 is your dns server IP) should universally update DNS resolution. [05:36] xangua nvm i got it [05:36] xangua sorry its late and my eyes are on strike [05:36] hesham, on #winehq no response nothing is going there [05:37] can anyone help me solve an issue i am having with UNE? [05:37] i cant get my sound to work in stereo [05:37] poohstix, okay,... do i have a problem resolving DNS updates? [05:37] akshu1: well then try at a later time, or post a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org/ [05:38] i can duplicate the issue on my other laptop running ubuntu desktop [05:38] poohstix, or did you mistake me with someone else? [05:38] !ask > baphomet [05:38] baphomet, please see my private message [05:39] collabra: I probably goofed. Sorry -- first day with xchat. [05:39] np,... and no worries poohstix [05:39] hesham: ok, I've downloaded the files ... now how do I use dpkg to delete the newer version of grub and then install the ones I downloaded? [05:39] poohstix, :) [05:40] dougb_freebsd: dpkg -i filename.deb === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest29006 [05:42] i would like assistance with an issue i am having with the 2d launcher on UNE. when i boot into this desktop i get gnome (with my docky launcher) overlayed on top of the 2d interface. this was happening on UNE and i can duplicate it on my laptop running ubuntu desktop. here is a link to the thread that i have posted on the forums and gotten absolutely no help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594102 [05:43] how do I set the time zone on ubuntu server?

[06:22] is there anyway to join a password protected irc channel with pidgin or is this the wrong place to ask? [06:22] ramas: can you pastebin /etc/resolv.conf please [06:23] blue1: If I do a nslookup it resolves quick no issue is just the services and when I disabled ipv6 resolution in firefox I stopped experiencing it on surfing [06:23] hanasaki: dunno that got rid of it here. you might try logging out/in somethings require X to be reset [06:23] hello , I am using ubuntu 8.04 LTS [06:23] Blue1: you had the same dimming issue? [06:23] blue1: ramas@Virago:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf [06:23] # Generated by NetworkManager [06:23] nameserver 192.168.1.254 [06:23] ramas: why are you using ipv6?

[06:23] no [06:23] I am using a jar file to integrate openbravo erp and magento ecommerce [06:23] blue1: Im not using it I DISABLED it it was enabled by default [06:23] hanasaki: dimming as in something is greyed out? [06:24] it's a private channel for my school's club [06:24] ramas: i would start by disabling ipv6 (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-1004.html) then by checking if the machine can resolve its own hostname (check /etc/hosts for an entry 127.0.0.1 pointing to hostname) [06:24] ^_^ no one??? [06:24] ramas: what hesham said [06:24] no idea booksbuggy, there is #Pidgin if you want to try luck, a little late here, midnight [06:24] okey dokey thanks [06:24] Blue1: no.. the whole screen brightness gets lower... if I open a new window.. just that window is the full brightness. if I restart compiz --replace then the whole screen comes back to normal brightness until something like that backspace on an empty line [06:25] booksbuggy, lol. I thought u said ok donkey [06:25] can any body tell me how to use this jar file as a service so that jar file will run spontenously afer boot up ? [06:25] hanasaki: are you on a 64 bit system by chance? [06:25] I have a good problem right here. I want to install some plugins for NetBeans. But every single time I try updating or try to install Ruby on Rails plugin I get some error.

And I realy would like to get started on programming and robotics. Can someone please tell me what t [06:25] Blue1: yes... tell me what you know please [06:25] from here? [06:25] sunit: what jar file [06:25] hanasaki: and are you running firefox? [06:25] yes [06:26] hanasaki: i have the same issues here. I had to switch to chrome of opera to reslove. [06:26] aaron11: a module is missing, go find it ? [06:26] sunit: you can add a line to /etc/rc.local to run the jar file [06:26] Blue1: nuts [06:26] Blue1: is there a ticket open? [06:27] Blue1: I quit firefox and still have the same issue [06:27] dw-, Uhh... A little bit more help? [06:27] yes, I can , hesham. [06:27] hanasaki: flash and firefox doesn't work correctly and you might have the 32 bit plugin and 64 bit plugin (flash) both installed at the same time. removing the 32 bit plugin did NOT resolve the issue with firefox. [06:27] blue1: Ok will do, I think Ive tried, Im actually writing from the lap itself it works pretty fine is just this issue, and I could live with it... the thing that made me mad was when I opened an account at livestream [06:28] ramas: exactly it dies... [06:28] blue1: will check the doc hesham said, will be back [06:28] Blue1: checking.. how do I check which one? [06:28] aaron11: google the name of the missing module and how to install [06:28] aaron11: never used whatever youre usign sry [06:28] ok [06:28] hanasaki: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=382 [06:28] blue1: YES YES!!! it keeps disconnecting and I cant open the webcaster or livestudio, cant even watch videos it keeps disconnecting, chat, and all [06:28] but , hesham , I am using many jar files for different purpose for integration. [06:28] dw-, ive been asking this 4 hours [06:29] hesham , so I need to add differnt jar file to run as services [06:29] ramas: afaik no open ticket - this did NOT resolve the issue, but it;s def. a problem [06:29] sunit: you can run as many jar files as you want on startup by adding them to /etc/rc.local [06:29] blue1: afaik??? [06:30] ramas: as far as I know [06:30] aaron11: maybe this will help http://google.com/search?q=netbeans+install+modules [06:30] Blue1: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 File: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [06:30] aaron11: searching is the best skill [06:30] hesham , How shall I add jar file to /etc/rc.local ? [06:30] aaron11: that and thinking :p [06:30] hanasaki: yeah that's the 32 bit guy [06:31] sad [06:31] sunit: no need to add the jar file, just add the line java -jar /path to your jar file [06:31] aaron11: g/l bro [06:31] qwerty [06:31] blue1: oooh no open ticket where? in bugs in ubuntu? I opened 2 tickets at livestream, they stopped at me having a firewall and all and they couldnt give any answer. [06:31] Blue1: then umm ubuntu installed what it shouldn't? [06:31] yes, I understand , hesham. [06:32] hanasaki: well - -no. ubuntu refuses to use an alpha or beta anything even though the 64 bit alpha is WAY more stable then ther blessed 32 bit plugin. But ubuntu use the 32 bit flash plugin in a 64 bit environment -- it works crappily. [06:32] but , hesham , should I add all the path of jar file to rc.local ? [06:33] sunit: yes [06:33] Blue1: hmm would think what you say would be reaosn enough to package something more stable [06:33] Blue1: I am getting the same issue even with flash uninstalled [06:33] ok, and all the jar will run as service . I am correct , hesham ? [06:33] hanasaki: blame mark shuttleworth - owner/ceo of ubuntu [06:34] lol [06:34] Blue1: there is no more a 64-bit flash player from adobe [06:34] hanasaki: yup you will - firefox just don't work for crap on a 64 bit system flash or no flash - again no issues with chrome or opera [06:34] sunit: well they will just start on system boot [06:34] there is a ppa for the new experimental 64bit plugin hesham Blue1 https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash [06:34] Blue1: funny thing is that firefox and flash are not running. and still the issue [06:35] xangua: I am using the beta flashplugin works fine - just not with firefox [06:35] Hey guys, i am running 10.10 server and i got this sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found [06:35] can anyone tell me how can i convert .rpm package into .deb?

Version 8.81 (maverick), package size 83 kB, installed size 244 kB [06:35] ok. hesham, I am trying. I shall inform you later editing the file [06:35] Blue1: so firefox is going out of business in your opinion?

[06:36] hanasaki: will it's not stable in ubuntu on a 64 bit platform - it works peachy on a 32 bit system though [06:36] I have a file server. From my desktop, if I browse via GUI to smb://servername, and copy/paste, i'll get 12Mbps easy (max for 100Mbps NIC) [06:36] also, i have the samba share mounted in /mnt/myserver, same speeds there [06:36] thanks Blue1 [06:36] xangua: sorry, i copied in the wrong spot [06:36] but if i use rsync to copy over that samba mount, it's really slow ... < 3MB/s.... [06:36] later all [06:36] xangua: what i tried was 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa [06:36] using a command like: "rsync -avhEA --progress --delete --include-from=~/scripts/sync_files.list /mnt/myserver/share/* /mnt/storage/destDir" [06:37] blue1: Ill reboot to test the ipv6 disable from the file that hanasham gave me I will get back if I still have the issue [06:37] hanasaki: sorry that didn't resolve your issue, but nice to know I am not alone [06:37] and i got add-apt-repository not found [06:37] yeah no reason to run ipv6 [06:37] DimaV: what version of ubuntu are you using¿ i believe that command was introduced in karmic [06:37] xangua: maverik, server [06:37] xangua: cat /etc/issue will tell you thant [06:38] need help on updating metasploit3 in bt4 [06:38] xangua: ah, i tried it without sudo and it told me to install python-software-properties [06:39] xangua: how ODD [06:39] I just installed unbuntu 10.10 64, right out of the box i did apt-get open ssh server [06:39] problem solved [06:39] its working, but when i try to ssh in locally there is a delay, any ideas?

[06:41] i remember in the netbook edition of 10.10 it asked if i wanted encrypted [06:41] the install setup would've asked you [06:41] ubuntu_lols can you explain this little problem in ubuntu for me? === IllminatOFF is now known as Illuminatus [06:41] but anyway, since you logon to localhost, the home dir would already be mounted [06:41] nah im am loggin in via another machine [06:42] quickest way to identify if I encrypted the homedir? [06:42] vgold i can try, but i am an ubunutu nub === zhang is now known as Guest17262 === Guest17262 is now known as zhang_ [06:43] hey guys [06:43] ahm.. don't remember the exact names, but there are funny hidden folders in /home/ that have something to do with encryption [06:43] ffrom ssh, how can I check how much bandwidth is used on my VPS ?

[06:44] no [06:45] how i do that?

[06:51] hesham: It exhibits the SAME behaviour either by wireless or wired, everywhere, not only my router [06:52] vgold: on livestream no error, thats what has made it really difficult to fix, it just says disconnected in the chats, the streams, NEVER start and in the webcaster or livestudio app in flash I never pass from the authenticating please wait message [06:52] Yes, you re right, I get tired of this kind of problem with ubuntu, also here to get a solution but tht kind of yours is something tht will need some little more attention [06:53] okay, do this, try to apt-get update it and lets see what message it will pop up with [06:53] vgold: I think is related to the fact that if I open a ssh, ftp or other service connection it takes some 22 secs to open the connection, from there it works fine no issues [06:53] vgold: my system is up 2 date u want me to try anyway? [06:54] well, if it work on port 22 you shouldn't border about it anymore then. Go ahead and use it [06:54] just to give it a try [06:54] vgold: just did it fetched all in 11secs ...

[07:44] Ceaze, investigate ? [07:44] airtonix, I really find Xubuntu **!!!@#$%^ [07:44] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to configure fluxbox on a fresh 10.10 install. I tried using the package manager to install it, then restarting gdm. === suigeneris is now known as Kartagis [07:44] hi i need some help with wubi [07:44] Ceaze, you are a aware that any themes, icons & fonts you download go into ~/.themes ~/.icons ~/.fonts ? [07:44] Hi. Something really word that I can't find any reference to online... there is no more http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates ... or intrepid anything [07:45] word=weird [07:45] airtonix, Its worst kind of Ubuntu [07:45] Ceaze, you need to clam down and have some paitence...no one is going to hold your hand and think for you. [07:45] airtonix, which version do you use of Ubuntu? [07:46] im using 10.04 [07:46] i need some help with wubi disks [07:46] anybody here [07:46] haalo [07:46] !paitence [07:46] airtonix, and you use Ubuntu, Lubuntu or.......... [07:46] Ceaze. ubuntu [07:46] cyrux, just ask. [07:46] Hi guys. I have a simple question. I've got ubuntu-one synced with two computers right now (using 10.10). However, I just realized that on my primary system ubuntu-one isn't syncing my files any longer. It says that it is when I go to system->prefs->ubuntuone, but it won't sync them and I see no indication that it is when I'm in my file manager looking at my folders. Any idea if this is a bug or if I've somehow messed it up? [07:47] airtonix, OK === cong061 is now known as cong06 [07:47] cyrux, if someone knows the answer, they probably will try to help you. [07:47] airtonix, I tried Ubuntu but it has many errors, and I am fed up of them [07:47] airtonix, I think version 10.04 is better than maverick 10.10 [07:47] Ceaze, the only difference between what you call a "version" (which is actually called a flavour".... is the desktop environment... (and you can have all the Desktop Environments install on the same computer) [07:48] I also realized that when I right-click folders in my home folder, I no longer have the 'synchronize with ubuntuone' optino. [07:48] It disappeared from my right-click menu all together. [07:48] I'm trying to collect data from a whiptail radiobutton. How do I set a variable? Which variable is being set? I know the data goes to STDERR, but enclosing the command: v=`whiptail --radiobutton ...` doesn't work. [07:48] ok .. here is the deal , i have a wubi partition on my windows machine. i was getting low on space , so i decided to increase the partition using a shell script. [07:48] airtonix, 10.04 and 10.10 has same desktop environment I think?? [07:48] Ceaze, if it is Ubuntu then yes. [07:49] airtonix, Ya [07:49] this creates another /home directory and a file under /host/ubuntu/disks/ [07:49] Ceaze, default Desktop Environment for Ubuntu is called Gnome. [07:49] airtonix, ok then I will use Ubuntu 10.04 now, and will hope there are no errors [07:49] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to configure fluxbox on a fresh 10.10 install. I tried using the package manager to install it, then restarting gdm. [07:49] airtonix, I know [07:49] airtonix, Xubuntu is Xfce [07:50] Efthymios, and then ? [07:50] and then it came back with the same desktop manager as it had before I did that... [07:50] Efthymios: you may get help from #fluxbox [07:50] airtonix, So, finally i have to go back to those Gnome Feet [07:50] alright, i'll try there. Thanks [07:50] :) [07:50] Efthymios, no you missed a step... you need to choose the Destop Environment from the login screen when you enter your username [07:51] sorry ! i enter they wrong room [07:51] alright, i'll try that first.

[12:29] benpowers23, try to install just the flash player, not nsplugin-thing [12:30] how do I disable the shown text 'Applications' in the system menu? i.e., only showing the icon instead of icon and 'Applications' [12:30] ok, using the software center? [12:31] izinucs i tried both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 no responsei n the web interface [12:31] benpowers23, doenst matter [12:31] Goldline: you don't have a separate router? You're using the router built into the cable modem? [12:31] webpage cannot be displayed [12:31] Yes [12:31] Goldline: did you try the command I gave you? [12:31] WHy? [12:31] Im on xp now [12:31] I wonder if there is a way to make gnome power manager force a redectionn of the power state. [12:31] Goldline, what router do you have? [12:32] Goldline: then I've no idea what the router address is.. [12:32] Goldline: this channel is for ubuntu support :/ [12:32] incarus, thank you [12:33] Goldline: your gateway IP should normally be the router address, though not all cable modems accept connections. [12:34] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 as OEM, ultimately I want it to be Netbook Edition, but I've tried UNE, Desktop, AND Alternate. NONE OF THEM are giving me the option upon boot to install as OEM. What on earth am I missing?!?!? [12:34] Goldline, read the manual. [12:35] there usually isn't a manual for an ISP supplied cable modem/router [12:35] Bliva go ahead [12:35] which modem is it [12:35] tphive: http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/attachments/09/38/oem000.png (ik its german, but should be clear) [12:35] thats unclear to us [12:35] incarus, the software center says waiting for apt-get to exit [12:35] Its actually bliva [12:35] Butr [12:36] he doesntk now which modem it is and how he is connected [12:36] benpowers23, try "sudo apt-get -f install" [12:36] tphive: so you have some sort of special OEM disk? I thought the OEM feature was for People like DELL and so on to easially make a 'custome' ubuntu setup for specific hardware/ [12:36] Bliva do you have anymore info [12:36] hi all [12:36] I'm fiddling with sudoers configuration and could use some help [12:37] I tried the routers ip [12:37] tphive: a forum thread on the OEM topic --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1460694 [12:37] I'm trying to change the targetpw settings for a single (or couple) of users [12:37] but [12:37] is this possible? [12:37] Incarus: I know, I've seen a similar image from this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview it's about verison 8 though, when booting v10.04 there are VERY few options. :( [12:37] Its non-reponsive [12:37] the one shown in ipconfig in xp or ifconfig in ubuntu [12:37] I want to allow apache user to run scripts as other (non-root!) user, but apache does not have password === Zilla_ is now known as Zillaaah [12:38] Dr_Willis: It's supposed to be on all disks, but I saw that thread too, and so I downloaded the Alternate version, and STILL nothing. >.< I'm installing from a USB thumbdrive, but I don't think that really makes any difference. [12:38] incarus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/526281/ [12:38] so 'echo passwd | sudo -u otheruser -S bash -c ""' syntax would be the option, but I don't want to inverse the default sudoers settings (ask own password) for all users, since they don't need to have root password [12:39] hi all [12:39] benpowers23, kill first dpkg proccesses with kill [12:39] tphive: wiki page says its on the DVD's [12:39] hi all (i've said it twice already) [12:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview Note: as of Ubuntu 8.04, the DVD contains an OEM installation mode, which can be found in the boot options. [12:39] how? [12:40] Can you clarify: do you also need to forward ports in a cable modem if ur directly connected to the internet [12:40] Mr_Blik, hello :) [12:40] Mr_Blik: If you have a question, just ask instead of greeting [12:40] aswell as with a dsl modem [12:40] good idea [12:40] how do i fix splashy [12:40] incarus, how [12:40] anyone [12:40] !info splashy [12:40] Package splashy does not exist in maverick [12:40] Dr_Willis: hm... FOrgot there are actually full dvd's available somewhere, got a link? OTherwise I'll see if I can find it. [12:40] tphive, it should be in the alternative cd [12:41] benpowers23, ps -u USERNAME | grep dpkg [12:41] tphive: i dont even really see what the 'oem' installer does exactly different from a normal install. [12:41] Incarus: I thought the same thing, not though. :\ === az_ is now known as overlordtm [12:41] any ideas [12:41] Mr_Blik, I have never used splashy [12:41] Mr_Blik, let me check online [12:42] coz_: go ahead [12:42] tphive, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=d0bb3d88a443986450c82c1d6121387b&p=9162234#post9162234 [12:42] It allows the computer to be set up as if it were new from the store, so when you turn it on it starts the "Out of the box experience", where you make your account and everything. [12:43] Dr_Willis: It allows the computer to be set up as if it were new from the store, so when you turn it on it starts the "Out of the box experience", where you make your account and everything. [12:43] You wanna answer my question please? [12:43] tphive: so thats it? it basically delays the 'ask user for their initial username/password' untill the next reboot eh. [12:44] about me\? [12:44] actually Im suprised thats not the default really. be less to ask during the install. :) [12:44] Goldline: if your server has an IP in the RFC1918 space (google is your friend) you will need to forward ports. [12:44] Goldline, your question doesn't seem to be particularly Ubuntu related [12:44] do you also have to forward ports in a cable modem because with a dsl modem you have to forward ports for gameservers etc... [12:44] please calrify [12:45] does that work the same with cable? [12:45] Goldline, your question still doesn't seem to be particularly Ubuntu related. [12:45] What is the IP of your server? [12:45] Goldline, how is this related to Ubuntu? you're using xp [12:45] anyone know anything about diskless boot on ubuntu? [12:45] Mr_Blik, I have no idea...maybe install startupmanager... I believe that can deal with splashy [12:45] Dr_Willis Basically, oh, but it allows you to set everything up/ make any tweaks on a temp account before preparing it for the end user. It's mainly meant for machines that are to be sold.

[12:46] !anyone | sirlark [12:46] sirlark: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:46] incarus, i used your cmd, but it did nothing [12:46] Goldline: actually, it sounds more like your question is general network related, please see my PM. [12:46] tphive: I was wondering about the setup.. nice to know. [12:46] benpower23, whats your username= [12:46] ? [12:46] ben [12:46] Hi guys! since maverick I cannot change the wallpaper any more. Whatever image I select in the background properties, the wallpaper doesn't change. Any hint? thank you! [12:47] incarus, ben [12:47] benpower23, so type "ps -u root" and look for "dpkg" or something smiliar and kill that process with "sudo kill NUMBER" [12:47] izinucs: a handy function, that 'theoretically' works. lol Nothing successful here yet though. [12:47] histo: I've got a server; tftpf, nfs-server, dnsmasq all running. My client machine boots off PXE, loads the initramfs, but can't mount the NFS root because it can't find eth0. [12:48] I've added the appropriate network card modules to the modules list for the initramfs [12:48] Hello!! Here's a problem. Ubunto10.10 - wlan0+eth0+eth1. wlan0 connected to internet. eth0 connected to a Cisco router. eth1 bridge to vmware workstation. Problem= [12:48] firewall [12:48] sirlark: no idea on that one perhaps someone else can help [12:48] if installed is blocking eth0+eth1 [12:49] Is there any way to dim the display further? Even at display brightness set at 0 it's still bright [12:49] Incarus: I actually don't even see the 'one button' screen. Just the one with 7 or so options, just none of them are what I want. :P Found a DVD download though, looks like it might just be extra languages though, can't tell. [12:50] the full DVD download of Ubuntu, what does that include that the smaller CD sized versions don't? IT is just languages? [12:50] tphive, did you try F1, F2, ... ? [12:50] tphive: includes the main repository iirc [12:50] cab iptables be configured with multible lan interfaces?

[12:51] iknow - tried firestarter and guarddog - doesn't meet my needs [12:51] tphive: I don't know. You tried the alternate cd? [12:51] I just created a user on a server. But I cant ssh into the server as the new user! Any Ideas? [12:52] ozfalcon: using passwords? [12:52] tphive, you should choose "Innstall Ubuntu" and then "OEM-Installation" [12:52] jrib: I did, :( No luck there either. Tried UNE, Desktop, and Alt so far. [12:52] so no real hacker here?

[12:56] okay, failing that that anyone point me to an up to date (i.e. works on lucid) guide for diskless boot on ubuntu [12:56] setting up iptables rules is network hacking? [12:56] yes [12:56] s/that that/that, can/ [12:56] I dont think so. [12:56] jrib, I can ssh with the original install account. (Infact it's the only way to access the box). [12:56] !iptables [12:56] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.

[12:59] hvipen, you have your routing working aside from iptables? [12:59] hvipen, that's the job of routing tables, not iptables [12:59] yes [13:00] ubuntu 10.10 64 bit did they fix the nvidia GT 240 problem yet? so i can install 10.10 [13:00] moonlight (2.99.0.9.99) isnt working for me anymore in ff 3.6.12. Any known problems or fixes? [13:00] Thunderbird Error: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding.

[13:05] karthick87, ps aux|grep thunderbird [13:05] yoshie, installation in low graphic mode should work, because it doens't use the nvidia driver / (nouveau?) [13:05] doesn't..

[13:16] can anyone tell me how do I keep grub from pausing to mince my cdrom every time I boot? I mean, it's not like it does anything with it, there's no menu.lst items that tell it to "hey do something with the cdrom drive okay awesome" [13:17] rooks: thanks, will look at both [13:17] ozfalcon, you can verify the user exists or doesn't by using "cat /etc/password | grep YOURNEWUSERNAME" - and yes, using "sudo passwd NEWUSERNAME" will set a password. [13:17] histo, yes to both. sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash -U -p password sentinal [13:17] brad, the commoand for virtualbox headless is: vboxheadless, it comes along normal virtualbox-ose package, tho im sure its in virtualbox-puel [13:17] kephu: grub shouldn't be looking at the cdrom your bios mostlikely is [13:18] ZykoticK9, User exists in /etc/passwd [13:18] brasil [13:18] ozfalcon, using adduser instead of useradd is a lot easier BTW [13:18] ozfalcon: seconds adduser [13:18] ajuda aqui [13:18] histo, it happens when grub kicks in, not sooner.

I'm using whatever the default in 10.10 is [13:20] i'm trying to install x11 on a 10.04 server and it hangs while Unpacking libxfixes3 [13:21] ok. Using "adduser" worked and enabled ssh via that (new) user. Thanks. [13:21] kephu: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:22] How do you change the text colour of the Gnome clock? In the guest session it is fine, but on my account if I use the Ambiance theme the clock is black-on-black and the theme can't really be used [13:22] My computer was not powered off correctly (power loss). Now when booting I'm just starting at the Ubuntu logo. Is there a Key Combination I can press to view a console log of what it is doing right now? [13:22] I'd like to see the boot process. My guess is it's doing a disk check or something [13:22] Sembiance: you can hold the shift key to get a grub menu [13:22] Sembiance: i would try f2, ctrl-alt-f1, ctrl-alt-f2 in that order [13:22] histo, I could, but it's completely unmodified [13:23] Sembiance: then you should be able to boot to recovery mode [13:23] Sembiane, are you using kde? [13:23] Sembiance: or boot in recovery mode [13:23] kephu: well it should have your menu entries in it. [13:23] histo, also, this is not exclusive to ubuntu, this happens every time I get my linux on [13:23] kephu: make sure there is nothing related to cdrom. I would double check your bios boot sequence [13:24] Incarus: no, not using KDE, but not at that point yet.

What happens is this: grub outputs its plain "grub is loading", THEN minces the cd, then, after it's done with that, it loads the menu [13:25] jamesstanley: i mean alsamixer [13:25] where can I download Ubuntu emergency boot disk ? for Ubuntu 10.04 + 64 bit server?

[13:48] lyj: change your /etc/profile to have export HISTSIZE=whatever [13:48] xukun: its just that you were asking for 1863.02G and it probably had 1863.019G or something [13:48] hosedsystem: One sec [13:48] mohanohi, no need, just do "pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol" [13:48] where is the default value 500 set?

[13:51] which file sets the default value? [13:51] PhantomString: but it did fail for no apparent reason, the 10.04 was a pretty vanilla installation, I followed the upgrade path directly. [13:51] lyj: you can create a .bash_profile in your home directory and then just put in that file "export HISTSIZE=20000" or whatever number and then type source .bash_profile [13:51] I just want to know where is the default value set... [13:51] quiescens, can you help me some more to install this ubuntu on this raid1 lvm? I can get it if you don't have time, no worries [13:51] Can anyone tell me?

What could I do/try?

[13:56] hosedsystem: Your best bet is if you need to recover information, pop in a Live CD and copy/paste to external media, then do fresh reinstall. [13:57] nm got it [13:57] PhantomString: how to boot into single user? at least grub2 seems to work still [13:58] kv102t: Regarding Ghost, you have Universal Imaging Utility? [13:58] histo: I booted up into recovery mode, went to a command prompt, did 'touch /forcefsck' rebooted. It checked all my disks. Now things work just fine. Thanks for your help:) [13:58] Which installer should i get from here? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/maverick/release desktop cd ot alternative? [13:58] rusivi: I don't have the raid 0 stuff in my head. that will take me ages to figure out how to mount the raid 0 from the live system, I guess [13:59] hosedsystem: Did you make a full, RAID 0 system backup prior to upgrading?

[14:26] Hi guys i just installed empathy inside ubuntu , but i could not connect to my hotmail account with msn protocol ...;any help plz [14:26] Flynsarmy: then you could reset the panels to default then rebuild [14:26] !panelfix [14:27] !fixpanel [14:27] ActionParsnip: how do i reset? [14:27] alinn: Correct, meaning 100% accurate, probably not, but a great start and very close [14:27] Flynsarmy: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [14:27] Alinn: Regarding Web Servers, Steve Ballmer noted in 2008 that 60% of web servers run Linux -> http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/151568/ballmer_still_searching_for_an_answer_to_google.html [14:27] ActionParsnip: reboot required? [14:27] I installed cntlm, and it auto starts on boot, then i installed bum and unchecked cntlm, it stills attempts to load. How can I prevent it from loading? [14:28] Flynsarmy: no, this isn't windows [14:28] ActionParsnip: haha touche [14:28] When printing my colors are fucked up. Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken? [14:28] Flynsarmy: the only time you need a reboot is to load a new kernel [14:28] !language | Somelauw [14:28] Somelauw: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:28] Somelauw: keep the language PG [14:29] When printing my colors are messed up. Is it likely to be linux or is my printer broken? [14:29] Better? [14:29] chadi: bum handles SysV type init processses. but not the newer upstart ones perhaps.. (bum is rather old) - If its ran by upstart. there will be an init scrpt for cntlm in /etc/init/ you could rename to disable it. [14:29] Somelauw: ive had drivers mess up the colors. [14:29] Greppy ur here [14:29] Somelauw: much :) thanks :) [14:29] Somelauw: Got a Canon printer that ubuntu auto configured.. but it dosent print properly. :( [14:30] Im having trouble installing 10.10 SE from a stick [14:30] it hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data ........................ Update Success [14:30] ZanQdo: did you MD5 test the ISO before transferring it? [14:30] Yes, it was autoconfigured. Printing black/white works fine, but colors are printed very ugly. [14:30] ActionParsnip: no [14:30] Dr_Willis, there's no cntlm entry in /etc/init/ [14:30] how [14:30] ZanQdo: ahhhh thats not an ubuntu issue. [14:30] ActionParsnip: no? [14:30] its the bios? [14:31] Empathy doesn't work with hotmail account for me .any help [14:31] chadi: check the old sysv dirs then perhaps. Ive no idea what cntlm even is. [14:31] ZanQdo: power off the system, take the power cable out of the back and let it site for half an hour [14:31] PhantomString: rusivi: Thanks a lot :) [14:31] ActionParsnip: ok [14:31] ZanQdo: you should also check the ISO before using it as you have no way of knowing if the ISO was complete or consistent [14:32] Hey, just what is required to set up a minimalist mail server. I am wanting to be able to have my pc tell me when it performs something in a script [14:32] Although my testprint works fine. [14:32] Greppy ur here [14:32] ZanQdo: the errors on the system are stopping it booting, you can test the ISO whilst the errors clear [14:32] Hello! [14:32] !offtopic [14:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:32] camer0n_: you can use sendmail in cli [14:32] Dr_Willis, thank you; I will try installing sysv-rc-conf [14:33] is there a intrepid repo archive somewhere? [14:33] camer0n_: a nullmailer like ssmptp or esmtp ? [14:33] spiekey: very unlikely, intrepid is dead and gone [14:33] Hey, latest update of ubuntu broke my wifi :( on my dell m1330. Anyone have a fix? [14:33] !intrepid [14:33] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [14:33] ActionParsnip, does this need to be setup? i tried using it last night and it didn't work [14:33] !eol > spiekey [14:33] spiekey, please see my private message [14:33] erUSUL, i wouldn't have any idea what either of those mean... i just want to be able to send an email :S [14:33] spiekey: old-releases.ubuntu.com iirc [14:33] camer0n_: not sure, i'm only aware of it. It will need access to a mail server [14:34] chadi: the sysv scripts these days for the most part are Upstart scripts/links to them. Most services/tools are converting to Upstart methods, so its worth learning. [14:34] hello ppl. I got some problem with grub. Anyone want to helt me? [14:34] help* [14:34] Sorensen: state the issue to the channel.. [14:34] Dr_Willis, where are they exactly? [14:34] leafwiz: run: sudo lshw -C network you can search for guides based on the product line [14:34] ok forget searchmonkey - can anyone recommend a good GUI for find/grep? [14:34] hal: why do you need a gui, find and grep are easy to use [14:34] chadi: upstart uses /etc/init Sysv - uses the /etc/rc* type dirs. [14:35] ActionParsnip: because I prefer to point and click rather than type a long-winded command [14:35] search the package manager tool? see if it has any allready there? [14:35] hal: find is in Aplications>Accesories>Search [14:35] how can I stop ubuntu from autostarting X on startup? [14:36] Jovaro: disable the GDM service in /etc/init/ [14:36] hal: you will need to type the search strings so its not point and click even with a gui, you could write a script then write a python gui. much quicker and far easier to just use terminal [14:36] Jovaro: or use the kernel 'text' option at boot time. [14:36] Dr_Willis, and I assume that the numbers represent the priority, right? [14:36] for example, find ./ -type f -exec grep -Hi 'this phrase' \{\} \; do you know a better way ActionParsnip ? [14:36] hal: what are you searching for, the command isn't long at all [14:36] erUSUL, can you use something like gmail/hotmail/etc with sSMTP? just having a read of it at the moment [14:36] Jovaro: add text to boot options in /etc/default/grub ? run « sudo update-grub » [14:36] chadi: for sysv? its the order they are ran in yes. [14:36] !sysv [14:36] camer0n_: i know gmail works; the others should work too [14:37] erUSUL: the native search does not search all files [14:37] Dr_Willis, thank you very much :-)\ [14:37] ActionParsnip: it doesnt match but I remember md5sum had problems with 32 bit vs 64 bit testing? [14:37] hal: if you use it a lot, you can put the command in a script and replace the search and grep strings with $1 and $2 [14:37] camer0n_: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/21/sending-email-from-your-system-with-ssmtp/ <<<< [14:37] I don't have gdm [14:37] ZanQdo: no, if the md4 doesn't match, the image is bad [14:38] so I try the text alternative, thanks! [14:38] ok [14:38] ActionParsnip, any idea if I can install Unity without UNBR? [14:38] Jovaro: kdm xdm or whatever you use [14:38] none of those, maybe that is why it crashes [14:38] event then you have to move up and down directories, and escape non alpha characters, which is also slower than a gui [14:38] replicasex: you can install the netbook-destop package. [14:38] I just use fluxbox [14:38] replicasex: sure, just install it and the deps will be used. te default WM is mutter which is a little slower than compiz [14:38] ActionParsnip: ^^^ *even then... [14:38] Jovaro: fluxbox rocks [14:38] erUSUL, thanks, ssmtp seems like it will be good to use... just hope it doesn't use too much ram.... [14:39] whats the line command to go with sudo that just gives you temp superuser options ... is it " sudo -i"? [14:39] Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip yeah I just had a bad experience installing kubuntu dekstop environ and having it be horribly messy to remove -- how easy would it be to remove Unity/UNBR? [14:39] ActionParsnip, I don't know about that, but it works great for my mythtv-box [14:39] hal: true, is it something you use a lot? [14:39] delinquentme: yes [14:39] yes, a lot ActionParsnip [14:39] !rootshell > delinquentme [14:39] delinquentme, please see my private message [14:39] replicasex: if you emove unity and mutter, it should then mark the rest for removal afaik [14:40] ActionParsnip, I'm assuming the install isn't as extensive as a KDE install as it doesn't have to pull in so many libs and so on. [14:40] replicasex: thats an issue of how the meta-packages work.. the netbook stuff added a new meni entry to gnome for the Netbook interfaec.. is all i saw it do. [14:40] hal: wow, hmm, let me search: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grepgui/ [14:40] replicasex: not near as cluttered as if you would have kubuntu and ubuntu both installed. [14:40] ActionParsnip: awesome, using a download manager this time [14:40] erUSUL, and how do i escape from that mode? [14:41] thank you man [14:41] Dr_Willis, good cuz that was a bloody nightmare :p [14:41] delinquentme: run "exit" [14:41] ZanQdo: using torrents adds extra checking and can help, MD5 still needs doing [14:41] Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on sdd? When i restart it just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse > [14:41] ActionParsnip: oks [14:41] thanks! [14:41] delinquentme: or do "crtl +D" ( the same thing you will do to exit any other shell ) [14:41] I recently installed Ubuntu server edition 10.10 and set up shorewall last night. Now I find that I can no longer _edit_ files. I can create and remove them but cannot edit them even when using sudo, varrying directories. I've never heard of such a thing so wondering what thoughts people might have on it. [14:42] makkura: what errors do you get? when you try to edit? [14:42] guys i just installed empathy but it's doesn't work with my hotmail account , any help plz [14:42] hal: http://www.magmax.org/drupal/node/88 [14:42] noname_: have you checked the forums yet? it could be Hotmail broke the feature with some recent changes. [14:42] can someone help me with a FakeRAID partition on a 3 x 1 TB hards I booted the 10.04 server cd, added the 3 hard drives in a fake raid, partitioned it, installed ubuntu all is ok BUT when I power down the PC and remove one hard ( as if it is broken ) I get to grub rescue not to a working ubuntu ... is grub waiting for me to plug an empty hard drive or what ? [14:43] makkura: could make a note of ownership too then make root the owner, or your user etc [14:43] Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on sdd? When i restart it just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse > [14:43] erUSUL: Editing via nano it lets me edit and it looks fine. When I exit and save it asks what name to save it as and then drops back into the editor. If there is an error, I dont' see it (but I am vnced into a system that then connects to the server via ssh so it may not stay on screen long enough). [14:43] Oh. So that's how they go in. [14:43] Hello. [14:43] yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result [14:44] I tried editing the file with ruby and it echos the file after it is done and it looks correct. Cating the file after that and it is unchanged. [14:44] cherva, did you use linux software raid rather than the motherboard "fakeraid"? [14:44] :yes there are many ppl have the same prblems , but some of them fixed the problem ..but i used the guid and no result [14:44] makkura: the error should appear in the nano modeline [14:44] Can anyone tell me some pointers on what keyboard shortcuts to assign? I don't want any conflicting shortcuts in play. [14:44] sjm: may have used good hardware raid too [14:45] sjm, yes that one from the "manual partitioning" in the setup [14:45] ActionParsnip: ownship of the file to be edited is root and i'm editing using sudo nano .. Editing a file without sudo in my /home has the same effect with me as the owner. [14:45] erUSUL, just adding text at bootup didn't make a difference... I used nosplash instead of splash but I still get the splash screen after a while and it switched to tty7 instead of sticking to tty1... [14:45] makkura: or you can try to add a comment line to a file « echo "#this is a comment" >> /etc/whateverfile » [14:45] !shortcut > x-Nihil [14:45] x-Nihil, please see my private message [14:45] I'll double check nano and try that as well. [14:45] makkura: is the partition healthy? [14:45] cherva, did you put grub on each drive? [14:46] cherva, raid 1, 5, 10? [14:46] Anyone knows why i get alot of errors when i install ubuntu (not from windows) on my 4th hdd? When i boot from the disc, just says "no such device: f313d1d-a60e-8c1e-53208ebc9656" Grub rescuse > [14:46] I installed just two days ago and saw no signs of problems before that. I haven't checked specifically, however. What's the best way to go about checking? === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 [14:46] i saw "grub-install /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc" during the setup so I guess YES, raid 5 [14:46] ActionParsnip: thank you. I've just found regexxer that looks pretty good, and includes replace also [14:46] sorry if you feel that im spamming, but i really dont know how to solve this :( [14:46] ActionParsnip, what would you say the preferred way of getting Unity/UNBR? The software center? [14:47] Oh, I do know how to set shortcuts, but so far when I set them up other programs also use them as shortcuts, and problems occur. [14:47] !fakeraid [14:47] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:47] I don't really want the unbr itself, just Unity -- is that possible? [14:48] erUSUL, why is software raid called "fakeraid" here. There is a difference. [14:48] cherva, not sure here. I haven [14:48] replicasex: any package manager is fine [14:48] cherva, not sure here. I haven't worked much with raid 5. [14:48] hi, I'm looking for a gnome program that automatically records time spent on a project by tracking the active window [14:49] sjm: no here fakeraid is bios raid ;P [14:49] erUSUL, ssmtp works great! thanks [14:49] camer0n_: no problem [14:49] erUSUL, just have to work it into a script now :P [14:49] hi everybody .. i need a little help with iptables .. [14:49] ActionParsnip, ok, I'll install the ubuntu-netbook package and see how it goes. I'd rather just get unity itself but that seems impossible [14:50] sachael: theres that zeigiest thing that can sort of do that.. but i think it does more then just that. :) I never use it myself. but it seems neat [14:50] Sorensen, can't find the specific drive UUID to boot from. Look for information on UUID. [14:50] sjm: but if you want to tweak the wording of the factoid you can propose a change [14:50] i got 3 ip in a server ... 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.3 [14:50] sjm. Please tell me so an idiot understand. Im very new in linux [14:50] i need to block all the access to ip 192.168.0.3 , and allow the access just for the ip 192.168.0.10 [14:50] is there a guide somewhere on creating seed files for automated install? [14:51] Dr_Willis, thanks for the pointer, will look into it. [14:51] erUSUL, that's my definition, but the links you pointed ubottu to, seemed to equate the two (at least the titles) [14:51] is there a way to do that ? [14:51] sjm: yes i see that For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto can lead to ambiguity. as i said you can propose a better wording [14:51] !iptables | roni [14:51] roni: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [14:52] Can anyone help? [14:52] sachael: gnome activity journal seems to be the gui to it. [14:52] roni. yes, with iptables firewall you can only allow that ip [14:52] erUSUL: editing a file via echo >> file worked on my own files and presents me permission denied even with sudo on the root own file i intended to edit [14:52] sachael: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nautiluszeitgeist-video.html [14:52] xangua you in here? [14:52] makkura: sudo doesn't traverse the redicrection [14:52] makkura: when using >> with sudo. you need to use the 'tee' command and a few other tricks. [14:53] MAAAAD: echo "Text I want to write" | sudo tee /path/to/file [14:53] xangua that link you gave me last night for gyachi isnt updated for maverick yet [14:53] anybody know the implication of using something like an LPGL licensed framework into an application [14:53] makkura: with sudo you need « echo "something" | tee -a /etc/something » [14:53] echo "foo" | sudo tee /root/somefile [14:53] erUSUL: nano leaves the text up to save the file rather than show and error.. it stays until i resize the window to for a refresh (damn putty :P) [14:53] Madwill: LGPL allows linking to closed source software [14:53] x-Nihil: just ask [14:54] Thanks [14:54] ahh my bad on usage then, just a moment [14:54] I want to know what keyboard shortcuts I can set up without setting conflicting shortcuts with other programs. [14:55] x-Nihil: you can display current shortcuts in your keyboard settings [14:55] erUSUL, I'd suggest "for motherboard raid" or "for bios ("hardware") raid" rather than "for software raid" [14:55] how do you declare a string variable in bash? i have been using "x=10" for numbers... but can you use "email=email@address.com"? [14:56] x-Nihil: also do not use ctrl+alt+del ctrl+alt+fX ctrl+alt+backspace [14:56] camer0n_: email='something' [14:56] hiya, what's the deal with "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.172 80]" during apt-get? [14:56] erUSUL: it appends the comment the same as it did on my own files [14:56] camer0n_: email="email@address.com" [14:56] what happend to interpid-updates? [14:56] Ah. Thanks. Is Alt-fX fine? [14:56] makkura: then there is no problem that i can see [14:56] erUSUL, tried that... it's kinda screwing up :P [14:56] greppy, will try the single quotes [14:57] .... once i can exit the script [14:57] camer0n_: how is failing? give example [14:57] x-Nihil: I do not recommend that as long it is chortcut for switching between tty's but should be disabled in X server mode [14:57] erUSUL, script is stuck :S [14:57] howdy [14:57] x-Nihil: so it probably would work [14:57] BluesKaj: hi [14:57] erUSUL, not responding. ctrl+c not killing [14:57] !intrepid [14:57] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu.

[14:58] NoiseEee: intrepid is dead [14:58] Im glad to join this channel once again [14:58] 'retired' :) [14:58] erUSUL, i was trying to do the command: "ssmtp $email < msg.txt" [14:58] ActionParsnip: odd, i didnt think my install was that old :\ how to tell what version of ubuntu im running [14:58] Also, does anyone have any sort of link to a tutorial on the usage of OpenOffice Formula? [14:58] erUSUL: double checking the ruby snippet i tried using.. may just be a problem over the chained connections vnc->putty then [14:58] !version [14:58] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [14:58] greppy, what do you mean by "expand variables"? [14:58] I was wondering if any of you has have problems or issues with sound in ubuntu maverick? [14:59] camer0n_: if var="testing" and you have var2="${var} again" var2 would be 'testing again' [14:59] can't kill script :S [14:59] luis_hasbon, did you just upgrade? [14:59] NoiseEee: lsb_release -a [14:59] OpenOffice formula is just clicking on the buttons to create a formula [14:59] greppy, ah cool :D [14:59] I made a fresh cd install [15:00] camer0n_: ssmtp -s "nothing here" "$email" < msg.txt [15:00] greppy, how do you kill a script that won't stop with CTRL+C? [15:00] camer0n_: should work [15:00] : I made a fresh cd install [15:00] Someone67: Oh, so it doesn't calculate anything on its own accord? [15:00] camer0n_: some scropt You made? or what exactly? [15:00] ActionParsnip, what does "No LSB modules are available" from that command mean? [15:00] camer0n_, kill from terminal [15:00] erUSUL, awesome. will do that... [15:00] thanks Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip [15:00] sjm: means you forgot the -a [15:00] BluesKaj: I made a fresh cd install, do i ned to upgrade? I already mde an update [15:00] sjm: the rest will tell you the release [15:01] !lsb [15:01] The Linux Standard Base, or LSB, is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of The Free Standards Group to standardize the internal structure of Linux-based operating systems. The LSB is based on the POSIX specification, the Single UNIX Specification, and several other open standards, but extends them in certain areas. [15:01] * Dr_Willis has no idea what lsb modules are... [15:01] Dr_Willis, yeah... just something i have been trying to get working. simple script. [15:01] ActionParsnip, no, I put in the "-a" and still got it. [15:01] camer0n_: check that the configuration is ok; it may be stuck in the authentification with gmail servers etc. [15:01] Dr_Willis: me neither, i dont think its important for support either so I havent dug into it [15:02] sjm: me too but it still gives the release name [15:02] ActionParsnip, yes, I was just curious about the message. (I usually just use "cat /etc/issue") [15:03] erUSUL, i have a loop with a sleep command... i think that is the issue. will comment that out with testing :P [15:03] luis_hasbon, check alsamixer in the terminal..for some reason the ctrls are either mutd or turned down after upgrades [15:03] * Chell is happy ssh is universal. Even under Haiku you can still run your favorite Ubuntu apps ;) [15:03] erUSUL, maybe i do not :S [15:03] hi everyone [15:04] BluesKaj: it says alsamixer cant be open, cant find the file or directory [15:04] erUSUL, did you see my suggestion for the ubottu wording above? to whom do I make the suggestion? [15:04] camer0n_: try #bash; you may want to paste the script so we can take a look [15:04] i want to watch some videos which require silverlight. which package should i install? i am using ubuntu 10.04 AMD64. [15:05] thanks will do.. === darkhero is now known as banogon === banogon is now known as jamesbanogon [15:05] sjm: #ubuntu-ops ; or do « /msg ubottu no, fakeraid is Your suggested wording here » === jamesbanogon is now known as darkhero === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [15:06] rigved: you can see if moonlight supports them [15:06] erUSUL, ok, thanks. [15:06] luis_hasbon, ok install alsa-base and alsa-utils , also lspci in the terminal and look for audio controller , we need to know the sound card model [15:06] rigved: trying to do netflix ? [15:07] hi. i'm trying to write a postinst for a deb package. part of it is to restart a service vi /etc/init.d/myservice restart. when i try to do this i get the following error: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable. there are no other processes accessing this file, at least via inspection of fuser/lsof [15:07] erUSUL: i'll try it [15:07] BluesKaj: lspci? it cant find the package [15:07] BluesKaj: lspci? i already got alsabase and utils [15:07] unity/wayland..

After using a fullscreen flash video (eg. from youtube) or after watching a video fullscreen with Totem my left mouse click doesn't work anymore [16:35] Any idea? [16:35] Hello, I'm attempting to write a software installer, and looking for some opinions. Do people here think, if such an installation program was launched as a non-root user, software installed by the program should be installed in their /home directory (one they had access to) by default? Or would you think it should always query for root access and default to [a subdirectory of] /usr/local/? Note that this installer is meant to act as a [16:35] centralised system, so it will keep track of all the software it installs (were the user wanting to uninstall it later). [16:35] Nertil: error coe 127 is "command not found" [16:35] how can I check whether curl is properly installed on my server or not ? [16:35] Nertil: that should read "error code" [16:35] ikonia: okey, guess I have to take it from a liveCD or something then... [16:35] I manage a set of linux boxes via ssh and just noticed that I still run an old krnel on 8.04 (2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686). How do I update to current? [16:35] AnirbanHazra: curl www.google.com === fc is now known as Guest32999 [16:36] dreinull: what do you want to upgrade to ? === Guest32999 is now known as fc_ [16:36] Nertil: I'd suggest looking at the $PATH in your script [16:36] the latest, ikonia. I usually upgrade via aptitude everyday [16:36] but it doesnt affect my kernel obviously. [16:36] fixing it now [16:36] ever since I've upgraded to 10.10, I'm noticing "ghosting" -- menu elements remain after clicking somewhere else -- what can I do to fix this? [16:36] dreinull: ok, so upgrade them via aptitude to the latest 8.04 packaged kernel [16:37] Tuxiscool: for example, if I recall well, Google Earth's installer targets the home directory if launched as non root user [16:37] dreinull: 2.6.28 doesn't even appear to be in the 8.04 repositories. The maximum version there is 2.6.24. [16:37] ikonia: I don't get the option to upgrade. And when they are upgraded they don't automatically get booted. [16:37] dreinull: kernel upgrades are not auto boot, you still have to reboot them [16:38] ikonia: no, not auto boot, but grub [16:38] */5 * * * * /var/script/CCcamCheck.sh [16:38] this is how look my line in crontab -e [16:38] in my /boot folder I have vmlinuz-2.6.28-19-generic installed [16:38] dreinull: they will get put to the top of the grub menu, which is what you want [16:38] dreinull: from what Pici has said that's not a valid 8.04 kernel [16:39] hi, what does it mean when, after saving a file, it has # before and after it ? [16:39] maybe I'm on 8.10 :) [16:39] hiems: As long as the option is there for both I guess it's fine? Installing to /home by default would only be a waste, I guess, if there are lots of users on a single machine, and how typical is that for the average desktop machine? [16:39] dreinull: 8.10 is not supported any more, so there will be no more updates [16:39] dreinull: 8.10 didn't have that kernel version either, 9.04 did. And 9.04 just reached its end of life. [16:40] A patch is redirecting me to /net/wireless/chan.c b/net/wireless/chan.c where exactly is this, i can't find it at all. [16:40] hey people, what could this be, with ubuntu 10.04 my OS had sound i just installed 10.10 and it does not detect the sound hardware??? [16:40] dreinull: intrepid is dead [16:40] Nertil: Does that file exist? [16:40] Pici: your kernel package knowledge is most impressive [16:40] ikonia: rmadison linux [16:40] ikonia: Pici: I'm on jaunty. whatever number that is. [16:40] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/CUuz62vv [16:41] Pici: slick [16:41] it was one of the lts versions [16:41] dreinull: jaunty is EOL and not supported [16:41] dreinull: 9.04 is not lts [16:41] dreinull: 9.04 iwas not LTS and it reached its EOL on October 23rd. [16:41] I'm running 10.10 on an ASUS eeePC netbook. Many people have been complaining that the "disable touchpad" hotkey Fn+F3 doesn't work. I've noticed that it does work in gdm, and it's after logging in to X that it ceases to work. Can anyone explain what's happening between GDM and X that could cause this? [16:41] i fixed [16:41] dreinull: lsb_release -a will show you your Ubuntu version. [16:41] that explains why there are no updates any more [16:42] A patch is redirecting me to /net/wireless/chan.c b/net/wireless/chan.c where exactly is this, i can't find it at all. [16:42] Tuxiscool: I think you're right. [16:42] Nahledge: within the kernel source tree [16:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/526417/ any ideas why i get those warning all of sudden every Sunday for the past 2 weeks. - I have an rsync backup cron that runs every night that includes /var/www [16:42] anyway, I do have these other kernels in my /boot dir. So all I do is change the file name in my grub? [16:43] dschuett: that file doens't exist, [16:43] dschuett: or directory I should say [16:44] how can I check whether curl is properly installed on my server or not ? [16:44] AnirbanHazra: I've told you [16:44] using netcat and tar to transfer hierarchy between systems. Would either of those tools have limitations on the total ammount of data that they can transfer? [16:44] ikonia - well i know that but i don't tell it to backup those TWO sepecific directories just /var/www [16:44] dschuett: it's a log rotate error, not rsync [16:44] ActionParsnip: are you around [16:44] ikonia: any idea on how to get rid of it? [16:44] ZanQdo: sup [16:45] dschuett: fix your logrotation in cron, make the directories, [16:45] ActionParsnip: still getting problems, now slighly different [16:45] did checksum and all [16:45] amd data change...update new data to dmi update success [16:45] cfedde: no that i know of [16:46] I have WinXP-Linux on my system and WinXP doesn't load...

[16:48] Tr3LoS: ok, then you need to talk to the guys in ##windows [16:48] ok thank you ikonia [16:48] erUSUL, thanks .. the fact that the gnome is at 2.32 gave me pause [16:48] someone can tell me why this doesnt work??: echo ls | at now [16:49] ikonia: any ideas why it gives warnings on those two directories and not others that don't exist anymore? [16:49] how can i toggle caps lock from the command line? [16:49] kamsky: wrong syntax for at [16:49] dschuett: maybe those are the only 2 that are setup to log rotate, [16:49] Hi all. How would you recommand me to perform an apt-get dist-upgrade on a remote machine via ssh ? Using screen ? [16:50] ngirard: exactly as you've just said [16:50] ikonia, syntax its ok, the problem is that it doesnt prints ls output [16:50] ikonia: i have never messed with logrotate? - i'm not even sure how it works or what to do to fix this [16:50] kamsky: syntax isn't ok, do "at now ls" [16:50] kamsky: it will fail [16:50] ngirard, yes, using screen will be good [16:50] ikonia: $ at now ls [16:50] syntax error. Last token seen: l [16:50] Garbled time [16:50] ngirard, also, do-release-upgrade [16:50] ngirard: I would reccoment tmux over screen, but otherwise, just as you said. [16:51] kamsky: there you go, synatx is wrong [16:51] Hi [16:51] I was here about 30 minutes ago [16:51] echo ls | at now # should work. [16:51] Hi ikonia, dli. Thanks. So, err, something like screen $SHELL, then in the shell session I'd just perform the apt-get ? [16:51] ubuntu's install medded up my windows and now I can't boot it [16:51] ikonia, mysintax is ok.. [16:51] messed*, and nothing suggested has worked [16:51] anyone have experience with anything like this? [16:51] ngirard, in screen, do-release-upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade [16:52] because this is bad [16:52] kamsky: then why does at now ls not work [16:52] cfedde, the problem is that it doesnt work, if instead ls i write... touch proof, it creates the file [16:52] dli: thanks again, didn't know about do-release-upgrade [16:52] kamsky: what do you expect it to do? [16:53] mibbed: ubuntu doesn't touch your windows OS [16:53] !dualboot > mibbed [16:53] mibbed, please see my private message [16:53] cfedde, see output of ls [16:53] kamsky: it sends the results as email [16:53] ikonia: I know, but it does touch the boot loader [16:53] cfedde, email?¿? i want it on screen [16:53] mibbed: no - it doesn't, it just chainloads with grub [16:53] mibbed: what is the issue with booting windows, what problem ? [16:53] ikonia well in that case, grub is corrupted [16:53] mibbed: why is grub corrupted [16:54] mibbed: explain [16:54] because I get told the device isn't found, then get some kind of serial [16:54] and grub rescue starts [16:54] whenever I try and boot windows, but ubuntu works fine === NG_ is now known as ng_ [16:54] dli: the trick is, i've already performed a s/lucid/maverick/g on my sources.list ; should i go one step backward ? [16:54] mibbed: so grub is referncing a device for your winows disk that doesn't exist, you need to change your grub.cfg to point at the correct device [16:55] mibbed: it's not corrupt, it's not touched windows, it's just looking at the wrong device [16:55] cfedde, some idea?¿ [16:55] ikonia: ahah, how would I do that?

[17:06] dreinull: sure it can, read some stuff online there are lots of upgrade woes possible [17:06] Ikonia? [17:06] mibbed: what ? [17:06] dreinull, in my experience, if you can't afford a fail without time, don't bother [17:07] os-prober hasn't worked [17:07] Guest82470: and if you need to move it... right click it> move [17:07] Out_Cold: I cant afford insecurity either. [17:07] mibbed: ok ? [17:07] dreinull: i personally always clean install, less pain [17:07] dreinull, it pays to be on your box and possibly have another box nearby just to check that everything is good [17:08] so I'm stuck here; how am I supposed to get it to recognise my windows? [17:08] manually configure it [17:08] fff [17:08] you know, I picked ubuntu because it was supposed to be easy [17:08] anyone familiar with the empathy chat client on 10.10? i can chat till the cows come home but no one can initiate a voice or vid call with me via the yahoo account and every time i try to initiate either it logs me out of my yahoo [17:08] a chm is a windows file? i'm trying to increase font size in kchmviewer but it's only increasing the header size [17:08] manually configuring boot loaders :s [17:09] ikonia: Why not? in windows I use the tools from flashboot.ru to change the firmware, but don't know How to do the same in linux, wine seems not to work well [17:09] Out_Cold, try a different viewer... some are better than others, some are total crap [17:09] pksadiq: don't update firmware using wine, and if you don't have a tool to do it, you can't do it [17:09] mibbed, it is usually in most cases easy... always an oddball. especially if it's a mixed configuration [17:09] I just updated to 10.4 and now my screen flickers when ubuntu has booted, during the boot process the screen is fine, but at some point it starts flickering. This is all before starting X [17:09] mibbed, grub2? [17:09] How can I solve this? [17:09] Out_Cold: I presume so [17:10] mibbed, is it working now? [17:10] Out_Cold: I'm using 10:10, so I don't see why not [17:10] and no [17:10] the box doesn't load anything? [17:10] jovaro: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [17:10] windows is on a separate disk if it changes anything [17:10] anyone familiar with the empathy chat client on 10.10? i can chat till the cows come home but no one can initiate a voice or vid call with me via the yahoo account and every time i try to initiate either it logs me out of my yahoo [17:10] it loads ubuntu /safe mode [17:10] initrd and memtest 86+ [17:10] mibbed, good to know but not pertinant [17:10] eurythmia: thanks for pointing out tmux [17:11] Chaos2358: I'm not sure if voice is supported [17:11] ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) [17:11] how do I get pico/nano to wrap long lines please? [17:11] Out_Cold : aha [17:11] Chaos2358: gyache can do voice with yahoo [17:11] ikonia in the new empathy it has the options for it [17:11] mibbed, have you been on the ubuntu grub pages? [17:11] ActionParsnip: load optimized defaults? [17:11] Chaos2358: doesn't mean it works/supported [17:11] gyathi isnt updated for 10. 10 yet [17:11] jovaro: yeah was kinda hoping it wasnt one of those === magn3ts_ is now known as magn3ts [17:11] !grub [17:11] 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. [17:11] Out_Cold: yep [17:11] ikonia that sucks [17:11] ZanQdo: there will be an option to clear DMI data [17:12] ActionParsnip, it works fine on a regular screen, but on the tv it flickers like crazy... [17:12] Out_Cold: not the former though, I'll look there [17:12] thanks [17:12] Chaos2358: check if it is supported, I dont think it is, that doesn't mean I'm correct [17:12] and I use it on the tv.... [17:12] mibbed in a terminal run grub -v or grub --version [17:12] ikonia how do i see if it is supported? [17:12] ActionParsnip:cant see it [17:12] jovaro: you may need to set different refresh rate then [17:13] uh oh [17:13] "The program 'grub' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install grub" [17:13] Chaos2358: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#How_can_I_connect_to_.28a_protocol.29_in_Empathy_.3F [17:13] sorry grub2 [17:13] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? It is all before X is started so no use changing stuff in xorg.conf right? [17:13] oh, ok :D [17:13] ZanQdo: ok then the only other way I know is to disconnect all power and pull the watch battery out of the motherboard, don't do this unless you are ok with hardware [17:13] gru'-tab' [17:13] jovaro: you can use the framebuffer driver with extra config [17:14] !compiz [17:14] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [17:14] ActionParsnip: just to be clear, the system boots ok [17:14] its just when I try this USB key boot loader than it fails [17:14] jovaro: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [17:14] ZanQdo: then check the USB consistency once it starts to boot [17:14] mibbed, if you a brand new to linux, tab is great for avoiding spelling errors and viewing choices. if you are typing in a terminal just pause once in a while even in mid word and hit tab key [17:14] ZanQdo: or a different port [17:15] ActionParsnip, I'll go read that, thanks! [17:15] Chaos2358: doesn't look like it's supported [17:15] ActionParsnip: usb never boots [17:15] ActionParsnip: but it does on a different pc [17:15] Out_Cold thanks, this looks great [17:15] ikonia it says audio video chat supported [17:15] ZanQdo: then try setting different usb options in bios, as well as make sure you have the latest bios [17:15] Chaos2358: where ? [17:16] mibbed, get a version #? I can't send you a link for the wrong grub... They are terribly different [17:16] ikonia Audio and Video calls [17:16] Does Empathy support audio and video chat? [17:16] Yes. Empathy should be compatible with any client which implement Jingle and supports ICE and the corresponding XEPs properly. === jenkinbr is now known as fullgrowncat [17:16] Out_Cold: it jumps to "grub-" then when I v it gives me a command not found [17:16] any of u guys ever experience clicking and popping sounds when more than one program uses the audio? [17:16] hey all need some startup script help. i built a script in init.d, added it with update-rc.d. everything is fine, but it seems the script didn't start as expected. what logs can i look in to see why it failed? [17:16] no - lol [17:16] trying out grub2, propos grub2, etc [17:16] Chaos2358: yes, and does yagoo use ice/ or ICE and a valid XEP ? [17:17] Chaos2358: yahoo is a propriatary protocol [17:17] i can use it as it is... but sometimes I hear a few clicks n' pops [17:17] ikonia ok now you are speaking chinese to me lol [17:17] Chaos2358: yahoo seems to use sip for voice chat, so voice chat may work [17:17] ikonia neither work [17:17] Chaos2358: ok, so it says it works with supported protocols, which are SIP/XMMP/Gtalk, [17:17] oh ya... sorry mibbed... do grub-in(tab) -v [17:17] Chaos2358: yahoo is a propitary protocol, the voice chat appears to be based on sip, so "may" work [17:17] ahah, thanks [17:18] i dont get how it will tell me which of my contacts have webcams and if they are on but wont connect to them [17:18] grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 [17:18] ikonia^ [17:19] Chaos2358: because the client will advertise the hardware capabilities (especially if they are using official yahoo client) to the server, however you need the correct protocol to connect to them [17:19] which cvs client is best on linux? i know of cervisia and tkcvs? you guys like any in particular? i miss tortoisesvn [17:19] AndroidLoverInSF: there isn't a "best" it's personal prefernce, try them out [17:19] ikonia ok i got it now and im assuming there is no way to edit these protocols to actually support it is there? [17:19] Chaos2358: no [17:20] Chaos2358: yahoo own it [17:20] Out_Cold is that what you needed? [17:20] ikonia, ok well i guess ill keep using facetime on my iphone then thanks man [17:20] no problem === fullgrowncat is now known as jenkinbr [17:22] init.d script failures? where are they logged? [17:24] mibbed, yes sorry [17:24] ActionParsnip: ok removing battery wasnt succesful [17:24] now will try to update bios [17:24] mibbed, had to let the dog out. it's the same as grub2. [17:24] Out_Cold 's ok, thanks for helping [17:24] give me a sec to find the favored link [17:24] will do [17:25] hey all, i'm having troubles getting my vim to apply the colorscheme i'd like to use. i've installed vim and not just vim-tiny. and edited my /etc/vimrc file. any help? [17:25] mibbed, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [17:26] Out_Cold sure, one moment [17:27] Im on ubuntu, how can I install an older version of pisa? I tried downloading the tar.gz and running setup.py [17:27] mibbed, check out this link as well. http://grub.enbug.org/ChainLoadWindows [17:27] Out_Cold uhm, forgotten how to do this. Though it was sudo grub.cfg but that isn't working [17:27] thanks [17:28] mibbed, you can use 'nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg' or 'gedit /boot/grub/grubcfg' [17:29] possibly with sudo [17:29] Out_Cold it's empty === cmhamill is now known as shapoopy [17:29] mibbed, fantastic lol [17:29] Out_Cold: if you only need read access it should be readable [17:29] Out_Cold indeed :( [17:30] Out_Cold would updating fix it? [17:30] mibbed, yes but using grub, not apt [17:31] I have a Radeon 8500 LE [17:31] and I'd like to use the S-video out for it [17:31] do I have a snowball's chance in hell? [17:31] Out_Cold hold on, manually going to the file works, but gedit in command line doesn't [17:31] mibbed, is this a fresh install that isnt loading? [17:31] Out_Cold should I carry on? [17:31] trojan_spike yes [17:31] Is it normal to have two or more users in output of "users" command, even if you just logged in ubuntu? [17:31] of ubuntu, at least [17:31] mibbed, yes i'm sure we'll still want to see the cfg [17:32] try setting the BIOS to load DEFAULTS. [17:32] Teth: you may need an xorg.conf file [17:32] http://pastebin.com/yh6qjnwf [17:32] jarnos, all you?? do you have open terminals also? [17:32] run sudo update-grub ' to see what will load [17:33] trojan_spike have done, it doesn't make any difference [17:33] is there a way to restart x without having a command line or loging in and out? [17:33] does win or ubuntu show up? [17:33] trojan_spike ubuntu does, windows doesn't [17:34] have u got ur windows DVD? [17:34] mibbed, use the info from here http://grub.enbug.org/ChainLoadWindows [17:34] see where you get [17:34] hey im totally new to ubuntu and i want to install it to, i currently have w7.. is it better for me to install ubuntu on vmware or what? [17:34] trojan_spike no, it came pre-installed and I don't have the same edition lying around [17:34] there is no entry in the cfg for it... was just missed [17:34] Out_Cold thanks, I was just looking through this [17:34] definitely going to attempt it [17:35] u will need to fix / repair windows MBR. [17:35] Out_Cold, yes, i suppose the others are from the terminals. [17:35] XP or WIN7? [17:35] trojan_spike 7 === nouitfvf is now known as nouitfvf|aw [17:36] mibbed, it should still be the same idea... [17:36] if i want to try ubuntu first time [17:36] vbwe: each has advantages [17:36] mibbed, : http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ [17:36] Out_Cold oh, ok [17:36] but which can i do better [17:36] although 7 does have a visible boot loader now [17:36] vbwe: vmware/virtualbox will alter your (crappy) OS less [17:36] yea it does,, its kept separate [17:36] trojan_spike, mibbed mentioned that the win7 is on a seperate hdd... mbr is intact [17:37] ActionParsnip [17:37] oh [17:37] i will pick dual boot option [17:37] trojan_spike i'll get this later, and the install is on another disc [17:37] so whats the problem? [17:37] how do i do that for w7 you got any reading material ? [17:37] looks like I'll be needing it soon if I carry on like this then [17:37] though* [17:37] grub2 doesn't have an entry for win7 [17:37] mibbed: - - you can also obtain windows 7 disks from the net, ie. as long as you use your private key instead of the often included warez keys. its legal in most keys... [17:37] vbwe: you can use win7's partition resizer to make unpartitioned space (run your backups first) then ubuntu wil loffer to install to the free space [17:38] how much gb is enough [17:38] ? [17:38] Ichat indeed, was going to try and get one [17:38] slash will [17:38] for first time 30gb? [17:38] vbwe, to test anywhere from 8-20gb [17:38] aww,, because its separate,, [17:38] and if i want to make it bigger [17:38] i need to reinstall [17:38] for a production machine, it can be anything [17:38] vbwe, no [17:38] vbwe: you'll need about 6Gb for the OS and enough space to be comfortable, then as much space as youo want for user data [17:38] why did i get thrown into ubuntu-unregged [17:39] rinku_kokiri: I'd guess because you're unregistered/unidentified. [17:39] that would be incorrect [17:39] because i've been regged for months [17:39] vbwe: ubuntu can also read and write ntfs, Windows cannot access ext4 which is the default fs in Ubuntu, despite ext4 definitions being completely available for use [17:39] rinku_kokiri: You aren't identified currently. [17:39] vbwe: 30Gb is waaaay enough [17:39] rinku_kokiri, if you identify after your script loads your joins, it'll throw you in there [17:39] Every time I run vmplayer it has to recompile the kernel modules. Anyone have an idea of how to fix that? [17:39] ill use 20 hehe [17:40] Out_Cold: Hes still not identified. [17:40] how much gb is ubuntu iso [17:40] How do I get this this non- read only? [17:40] Hey all. Is there a place where I can read about why the decision was made to move away from Gnome as the wm/UI for Ubuntu? [17:40] do i need to burn it first [17:40] wrong password [17:40] new install lmao [17:40] rinku_kokiri: :) [17:40] mibbed, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [17:40] anyway... my volume control does everything but control my volume [17:40] vbwe: 700mb, yes. [17:40] trojan_spike Thanks [17:40] it makes sammiches, but can't turn audio up [17:40] mibbed, gksu gedit /boot/grub/gru(tab).cfg [17:41] vbwe: for a true dualboot, yes. MD5 test te iso before use and burn slow [17:41] or universal usb [17:41] is that poss ? [17:41] mibbed you can also (perhaps better for you) use partedmagic - it includes also a partition editor backup tools and a super-grub disk [17:41] vbwe: universal usb? [17:41] ActionParsnip [17:41] Ichat looking it up now [17:41] vbwe: the u in usb stands for universal [17:42] anyone have any idea why my stock volume control applet in ubuntu 10.10 won't control my volume? [17:42] vbwe: sure you can use unetbootin or the easy 1-2-3 app on pendrivelinux [17:42] its like using a cd right [17:42] insert usb and boot [17:42] rinku_kokiri: dod you uninstall pulseaudio¿ [17:42] hi, i wanted to install updates but it display's "warning, you are about to install UNAUTHENTICATED software" [17:43] hrm.. if i mute and unmute, it starts working [17:43] that and one more thing is REALLY annoying, when i turn my vol all the way down, it resets my volume fade to full center [17:43] can my usb also become normal again ? [17:43] vbwe: you can create the usb from windows [17:43] Is anyone here familiar with the kdmrc config file? I'm trying to set up an unusual configuration but I'm having a strange problem. [17:43] rofl0r: thee next time you add repositories remember to also add the !gpg KEY, sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" does that automatically [17:44] vbwe: sure, its just data, just format it [17:44] vbwe, or fdisk it [17:44] xangua, no i unstalled gstreamer-pulseaudio[insertnumbershere[ [17:44] xangua, thanks, but i didnt add any repository ^^ [17:45] How do I start a xterm, and then have it execute a command with a & so that it gives me back a command prompt. (for instance if I open a xterm and type tail -f /var/log/messages &) it will print out any updates to messages, but I can still type commands into that terminal. I want to use the -e option of xterm to do that. [17:45] does win7 got dual boot ? [17:45] rinku_kokiri: yeah, my volume does something similar, just have to turn in up/down after restart, and it seems to change balance as it goes/up down too. a minor annoyance [17:45] mibbed, i was on an arch box that used grub legacy... when i updated to grub2, i lost all info to about 7 OSs... I had to dig pretty deep for answers [17:45] cmoan, people, i need good, working config of an app to stream video over network, and that app should be able to run from cli via ssh [17:45] vbwe: you can dualboot with ubuntu, if thats what you mean? [17:45] xangua, because of a disconnect issue i was having, now the sound doesn't stop randomly (unless adobe crashes) but rather, my volume control will quit working (i have to manually adjust it from the sound preferences window) and when i turn my vol all the way down, it unfades my sound from the back, putting it full center, killing my eardrums [17:46] vbwe, i doubt they allow you to use thier loader to dual boot [17:46] Out_Cold sounds like fun [17:46] i mean [17:46] mibbed, depends on what cranks your gears :p [17:46] if i start my pc up [17:46] you would think by episode 10.10 they would have something as simple as sound fixed [17:46] i want to see a select menu [17:46] windows or ubuntu [17:46] rinku_kokiri: then reinstall what you removed [17:46] !dualboot | vbwe [17:46] vbwe: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [17:46] vbwe: yes, win7 will be added to grub [17:46] xangua, that didn't cause the problem [17:46] Out_Cold lol, I suppose. I prefer java though, less to go wrong [17:46] Does anyone know much about ptmx? [17:47] i havent got amd [17:47] I have a problem with VLC, when I closed down the only VLC I was running, new VLCs with the same video as I previously watched started popping up. til there were countless of VLC's running the same video [17:47] xangua, the problem was here before i uninstalled a problematic codec [17:47] mibbed, but can't run the java on a busted box lol... [17:47] when I closed down one, many more popped up [17:47] like a hydra [17:47] vbwe: intel cpu's can be 64bit, amd64 just refers to ALL 64bit CPUs [17:47] with the same video that is [17:47] arvut: configure vlc to allow only one instance [17:47] arvut: from terminal -> killall vlc perhaps? [17:47] xangua, i did sudo apt-get install update, now the warning is gone [17:47] vlc hydra... that's kinda a kool idea [17:47] rinku_kokiri: might wanna try different settings on the 'output' tab where is says Connector, maybe help [17:48] Out_Cold indeed . just updated grub after adding my windows partition to the folder, but it isn't showing windows still [17:48] should it be? [17:48] mkquist, that doesn't solve why when i adjust the volume, it changes my fade settings [17:48] rofl0r: you mean 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [17:48] I had to do « sudo killall vlc » to quit them all [17:48] did you follow the link with the uuids? [17:48] arvut: i doubt if sudo was needed [17:48] Dr_Willis, no, after update immediately the update manager popped up [17:48] did it anyway, and it sure killed them [17:49] rofl0r: yep. thats often how ti works. [17:49] arvut: you only need sudo if the process is not owned by your user [17:49] mkquist, and i doubt that setting would fix any of my problems [17:49] Out_Cold disregard that, it shows up when I try cat boot/grub/grub.cfg === cmhamill is now known as shapoopy [17:49] what shows up? [17:49] the problem is however, how could new VLC's pop up like that, playing a file that is stored on my external drive, and continue to do so even when I disconnected it? [17:49] mkquist, cause i change it, i have NO sound... great fix [17:50] my screen blanks out for a 1-2seconds every 10-20 minutes(not screensaver related), don't think it's a hardware issue, anybody else experiencing this? [17:50] rinku_kokiri: lol [17:50] Out_Cold, Ichat,trojan_spike , Thanks! [17:50] how can I launch a command with -e in xterm and have it go into the background (like typing a command with & at the end of it ) [17:50] Out_Cold I meant the windows 7 option, but it doesn't matter anymore [17:50] I just wish canonical would TEST their os before releasing it [17:50] ^^sarcasm [17:50] hopefully won't be back later [17:51] scott_ino2: what monitor and graphics card do you have? [17:51] sereal: -e 'command &' perhaps? or make a script that does the command & and launch that instead [17:51] I mean why leave in a problematic codec THROUGH 2 VERSIONS? [17:51] rinku_kokiri: i suggest you read your EULA [17:51] instead of fixing the problem, the "fix" is to uninstall? [17:52] arvut, acer monitor(can get you model if needed, using DVI) and ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3300 Graphics using the open source driver [17:52] Mark partition as active what does that mean?? [17:52] k, I have some screen blackouts every now and then but its hw related to the monitor I have (hp w19b) [17:53] ActionParsnip, this eula?? where? [17:53] they normally last for less than a second tho [17:53] !eula [17:53] !eula [17:53] :) [17:53] that worked [17:53] lol [17:53] !eula [17:53] it did. [17:53] rinku_kokiri: basically the OS is open source, there is no SLA or integrity [17:54] rinku_kokiri: if it breaks you get both pieces [17:54] scott_ino2: try scroogling your monitors model name, with something like "screen blackout" in the search [17:54] is there a "thou shalt not complain" clause? [17:54] might give you a good answer [17:54] rinku_kokiri: obviously devs strive for good results and such but there is no pressure on anyone involved to fix or do anything [17:55] hence why my bug reports usually sit for 6-12 mos before being answered [17:55] arvut, thanks will do, was just wondering if it was a known thing [17:55] first approach is always to find out if others have had the same problem as you do [17:55] rinku_kokiri: you can complain and log bugs but if they get attended or not is down to the devs etc [17:55] !eula [17:55] Mark partition as active what does that mean?? [17:55] allure: There is no !eula [17:55] i kno, i'm just a bit annoyed that my sound had to be fixed out of the box [17:55] vbwe: its a partition 'flag' [17:55] that lasted [17:55] ic [17:55] what happened to "it just works" [17:55] rinku_kokiri: they could just abandon the project if they wanted [17:55] what does it mean? [17:56] vbwe: normally windows has to boot from the 'active' partition. not sure if thats a limittaiin in vista/win7 or not. [17:56] rinku_kokiri: in many cases it does [17:56] vbwe: its a flag that tells the bios to 'boot this partition first' or somthing like that.. not used much any more. [17:56] vbwe: the active partition is the one looked on for boot info after the MBR is read [17:56] oops i changed it to a wrong one [17:57] and cant flag C: as active anymore [17:57] why is my aptitude (currently running an install run with new updates) not responding to ^C? it has been stuck at Unpacking replacement libasound2 ... for awhile now [17:57] with grub - i dont think the active partition matters.. not sure if it matters with win7 any more either [17:57] vbwe: c drive doesn't mean anything in linux [17:57] i have windows 7 [17:57] vbwe: still means nothing, windows incorrectly names partitions, drives [17:58] ah ke [17:58] vbwe: the windows partition will not be the active one, the linux one will and grub will then boot the windows partition [17:58] there is a command which can be used to easily remove or add services to init - i've forgotten what this command was, but it was like config-init or init-config as best i can remember (though I'm obviously wrong since i can't find it)? [17:58] ah i read the dual boot ubuntu but dont understand [17:58] do i need to install somethnig? [17:59] Buttons840: update-rc.d IIRC [17:59] vbwe: the ubuntu install will install grub for you and handle the dual boot [17:59] Buttons840, update-rc.d service default [17:59] ah oke [17:59] jfroebe: yes, thank you [17:59] i will now boot pc [17:59] and install ubuntu [17:59] so there's no fix to the problem [18:00] is there a command which will list what services are currently enabled, or do i just need to look at the init directories? [18:00] is there a way i could change cdrom0 to a preferred name i want to be named on the device? if so...how? thanx [18:00] noob-tux: /dev/cdrom is just a link to the actual device.

VNC can do it.. freeNX can.. or ubuntu to ubuntu, just 'X' or 'ssh' can do it.. [18:19] HAF932: there's remote desktop style (vnc) using vinagre [18:19] HAF932, yes, but it requires SSH, and an X server on the client [18:19] vbwe: then thats not it--- go into bios and edit startup directly then [18:20] HAF932: so 'yes' but it depends on the details. :) [18:20] is it a default program comes with the package [18:20] k im entering [18:20] bios settings [18:20] anyone know how to adjust ufw's "LIMIT" rule?

Now I've tried everything - both open source as well as proprietary ones [18:22] Nothing works. I've tried out everything in those pages - the links you've mentioned [18:22] vbwe: might as well just keep it like that cause as long as flash drive is not bootable - you shouldnt notice that usb is first device [18:22] I just want to reformat my primary partition, i'm in knoppix what do i say to format sda1 to get it ready for 10.10 [18:22] ? [18:22] hmm [18:22] and [18:22] i need to change the [18:22] 6th [18:22] hdd [18:22] boot sorry [18:22] vbwe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:22] with my first ???? [18:22] goltoof: if doing a clean install of 10.10 - you can just delete it and letave it unallocated. and let the 10.10 installer partiion/format it.. [18:23] goltoof: no need to really do anything to it. the ubuntu installer can handle it. Unless you want a very specific layout. [18:23] vbwe: wait, whats going on === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [18:24] sorry, i have yea changed 1st boot to USB, but i removed 1st device as my SATA, do i need to put the 6th boot device as my old sata? [18:24] vbwe: i would imagine you want it to be usb , cdrom, then the HD. [18:24] vbwe: just the order that u need. if usb 1st i would but your hard drive (with operating systems) on second [18:24] DR_Willis, i think my drive got corrupted somehow so I wanted to reformat. my problem is the livecd gives me errors and so does usb stick but different errors. idk if it's something on the HD that's keeping them from booting but it's weird. [18:25] vbwe: that way if dont detect a bootable img on usb will boot right to OS [18:25] goltoof: check dmesg output.. if it mentions IO errrs./. thats bad.. [18:25] figured a proper reformat ahead of time would help [18:25] or CD as second [18:26] vbwe: right- i forgot about cd - dont do much booting of cds once installed though, so i usually keep that off [18:26] vbwe: but it to your liking [18:26] Dr_Willis, I backed up all my stuff with knoppix so i'm doing ok. now that it's all backed up i'll try to install and go from there [18:26] oke thnx [18:27] vbwe: anytime [18:27] goltoof: format it and watch dmesg output for any errors I guess. [18:27] goltoof: perhaps try some other disk scan/verify tools also [18:27] lol just made L: drive in win7 but in ubuntu it says dev/sda1 sdb lol dont know which one is the right one:P [18:27] Dr_Willis, like what? [18:28] Dr_Willis, I got some i/o errors... can't paste since it's on another machine [18:28] vbwe: if your dual booting it usually notices the win partion-- are u using 10.10?

[18:51] yes [18:51] TaunoT: windows does a pretty good job at hiding the ubuntu partition , i would boot into ubuntu put files on usb and then go windiows and change download folder to where should be in windows [18:52] TaunoT: Then there should be a menu at boot up to choose either OS [18:52] TaunoT: sorry didnt see the wubi- that might be different [18:52] evenin' all!

'open the drive' has several meanings...

The printer is not supported in linux :( [19:26] dreinull is currently helping me [19:26] bleu_: it's a short file. just cat it. [19:27] fadein: cat?

[19:28] my compaq laptop has two video drivers - i740 and i8xx+i9xx. so you think that these two drivers are clashing and causing a problem. will anything go if i remove the i740 drivers? [19:28] dreinull, do i know you? [19:28] AbhiJit: no, I dont know you and you dont know me. [19:28] like I said if I jack the Mic volume for the headset to 100% I can hear myself so I know it is working but for some reason my Applications are not registering sound [19:28] Dr_Willis, thanks, that default/grub option was exactly what I've been looking for! [19:28] fadein: ok no it doesnt look like what you put [19:28] bleu_: how different is it? wildly different? [19:28] The gnome-translate tool shows some HTML tags in the "Translated text" field, probably because of the Google translator. Is there a way to get rid of them? [19:28] uski: play with that 'beep' option in the file :) it can play a tune as it boots.. heh. [19:29] killerkristin1: yes, because your applications are listening in the wrong place. [19:29] fadein: it says stuff like gnome session this and that [19:29] okay, too many desparate people here... walking it off now.. [19:29] I changed the input though so how could that be?

[19:30] dreinull, trying to get a thumb drive mounted, i get no authorization [19:30] bleu_: The important thing, I think, is the Exec= part [19:30] !mount [19:30] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [19:30] killerkristin1: ubuntu and sound can be like rewriting the kernel. My experience.

[19:30] * goltoof [19:30] dreinull, doesn't appear in /mnt [19:30] goltoof: so you're using automount? [19:31] bleu_: I believe that it should look like mine. Mine works. I'm curious to see yours... [19:31] goltoof: did you check /media? [19:31] bleu_: i think the default editor is called pico [19:31] dreinull, if you consider plugging it in and just expecting it to work as "automount" then yes === mawale is now known as MaWaLe [19:31] killerkristin1: sorry I'm not sure I can help you.

Log in to the recovery console [19:32] JohnHeikkila: try reinstalling your drivers [19:32] bleu_: when it comes up, run gnome-session in that terminal [19:32] it shows in nautilus places, but i get "Not authorized" when i try to get into it [19:32] fadein: ok will try the recovery [19:32] petan, fat32 [19:32] bleu_: it'll try to launch gnome - if it fails, hopefully it will say something useful in the console [19:32] hello all [19:32] ( : [19:32] killerkristin1: I can't find ath5k from synaptic [19:32] any software raid guys here? [19:32] goltoof type mount in terminal do you see it? [19:32] goltoof: sorry, no idea. [19:33] bleu_: that may clue you in on what is wrong [19:33] petan, nope [19:33] wow, this channel is like a bazaar. [19:33] goltoof are you in group fuse or adm in /etc/group [19:33] Hi has anyone used dradis in ubuntu i have a few questions? [19:33] Hi folks.

[19:34] petan, ok [19:34] goltoof type mkdir /media/drive [19:35] goltoof then mount /dev/sdb /media/drive [19:35] Hello, i have Ubuntu 10.0.4 and every time i reboot my computer the visual effects are gone, someone know a way to fix this? i got a Nvidia 9600MX card. [19:35] dreinull: what? [19:36] petan, how do you know /sbd is the right one? [19:36] I have same problem on login screen sice update, the resolution is not right [19:36] petan: swith to rot -> Rot quickly. [19:36] goltoof: how many drives you have [19:36] mount: special device /dev/sbd does not exist [19:36] Hi has anyone used dradis before? [19:36] I get the following errors in aptitude: "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock..."

I have Atheros AR5001 and I have managed to make my wifi work with the following commands: [19:37] sudo apt-get update [19:37] sudo modprobe acer-wmi [19:37] goltoof: are you in group adm? [19:38] petan, gee i'm really not familiar with working with groups [19:38] killerkristin1: Okay, tried that but no. Currently following this topic: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9287770 [19:38] petan, what should i check? [19:38] goltoof: It might have something to do with the fact that your drive does not have a partition table, which is rather odd and likely not tested very much. [19:38] goltoof check if you have permision to mount drives [19:38] killerkristin1: So do I need to reboot or restart my wireless for the changes to take place? [19:38] goltoof open users panel [19:39] shouldnt need to but give it a shot === antek is now known as uTired2 [19:39] How to stop ssh service [19:39] fadein: i could log into safe mode session [19:39] Jordan_U, ` is that something that i could create for the drive? or does it need to be redone? [19:39] #ubuntu-ita [19:40] fadein: and the exec=gnome session [19:40] Question. I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 my work computer to try out. I am having trouble connecting to windows directories on the file server. I get the following error. "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server" Any suggestions? [19:40] karthick1987: sudo service ssh stop [19:40] JohnHeikkila: try this as well sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [19:40] Jordan_U: not I do not think so the drive works [19:40] petan, ok.. not sure what to change here [19:40] killerkristin1: Yeah, I've tried all the if- and iwconfig commands [19:40] fizzlefish: install smbfs/cifs first as a test [19:40] goltoof: check if there is permission to mount [19:40] ls -lrt [19:41] bleu_: let me understand you: when you ran "gnome-session" from the recovery console, it logged you into gnome? [19:41] petan: But it certainly does not have a partition table, which may break some assumptions made by the auto mounter. [19:41] Jordan_U: why do you think that [19:41] petan, i'm the only user.. not clear where to check for mount perms [19:41] JohnHeikkila: I am not sure then sorry [19:41] fadein: i exited the terminal, loged in under safe mode [19:41] goltoof: It's possible to make a partition after the fact without reformatting the drive completely, but not easy. [19:41] goltoof: open your account and then groups or permission then look there [19:42] j #ubuntu-it [19:42] fadein: and in that file you are asking about the part where exec is it says gnome desktop [19:42] bleu_: yeah, that's the name of the program that the login screen should run after it checks your password [19:42] petan, yes, looking.. not clear... but still looking :) [19:42] Jordan_U: why you think it does not have partition? it is unneccessary auto mount works for drives like that [19:42] bleu_: so I'm just asking you to run it manually to see if it gives an error message in the recovery console [19:43] petan: He does not have any sdb1, only sdb. And since he can mount "sdb" directly it means that he has no partition table, just a filesystem starting at the beginning of the drive. [19:43] fadein: oh [19:43] bleu_: otherwise, if it's erroring out, it's probably just throwing the output away [19:43] let me try to run that from the terminal [19:43] Jordan_U: it is flash drive those are formated like that it is ok [19:44] petan, maybe i should check with cli instead [19:44] goltoof: if you open user panel and open your account what is there [19:44] goltoof: some tab like permission do you see it [19:44] petan: Some flash drives are formatted this way, but most aren't (and I personally think none should be). While the automounter should still work reliably in this case I wouldn't be surprised if this case isn't tested very often. [19:44] how can I kill dpkg? [19:45] petan, System > Administration > Users & Groups ? [19:45] goltoof: indeed [19:45] petan, negative [19:45] arvut, usually, you don't kill it [19:45] goltoof: can you open that [19:45] arvut, Ctl-C, if you have to [19:45] petan, yes i can open it but i can't find anything that you ask for [19:45] goltoof: modify account [19:46] arvut: do "top | grep dpkg" [19:46] Sean93: I think you mean: ps auxf | grep ...

[19:48] "kill 25329" (correct me if im wrong) [19:48] Sean93: doesnt work [19:48] goltoof: that wont help you, do you see that tab there? [19:48] i have a problem with the battery display?

[19:52] bleu_: for instance, gnome may be trying to start some 3D-compositing type stuff that your video card doesn't like [19:52] fadein: what can I do then [19:53] bleu_: for now, not use gnome ;) [19:53] no one? :| [19:53] arvut -9 is force [19:53] fadein: lol, how do i pick something else?

[20:16] How very weird. When I connect to the work VPN, I can no longer get to Gmail... but other Google services (docs, calendar) work fine. This appears to affect Chrome and Firefox, so I'm guessing it's happening below the app level. [20:16] i deleted the boot partitions in windows, rbooted and no boot anymore [20:16] no i didnt [20:17] yea i have different hdd [20:17] why would you delete the boot partitions?

I'm at work, my torrent client (transmission) is running at home. I need to change some settings in trasmission. I've tries X11 forwarding with SSH to launch transmission, but it wont let me relaunch it and I do not wish to close and reopen it. Is there any way I can connect to that running instance of transmission? [20:22] ninjai: no [20:23] can you make sense of this? http://pastebin.com/qaxGqmcW [20:23] http://i56.tinypic.com/os9092.png first time installing Ubuntu. This is a Windows XP computer. I'd like to install onto my 320GB SATA drive. I'd like to keep my Windows installations on this drive intact, but it's no big deal if I lose them. I don't have a viable method of data backup, I have an unformatted 30GB partition and 169GB of unpartitioned space. I'm really nervous about this and... [20:23] ...I'd like for someone to walk me through this. (pic related; it's the step I am currently on.) [20:24] "pic related" lol [20:24] ninjai: Yes, with the transmission-remote command. [20:24] zehnfragezeichen: why be nervous? it wont bite you [20:25] ubuntu is easy to install in graphics mode [20:25] because the last time I tried installing I ended up totally screwing everything up, and that was last year.

[20:26] ninjai: sudo apt-get install transmission-cli === don is now known as Guest41760 [20:26] Jordan_U: i am doing that right now actually. does that interface directly with the running GUI one or is it a separate instance? [20:27] zehnfragezeichen: just create a partition on that 169GB free space [20:27] i want to adapt the boot loader menu under ubuntu 10.10 but i do not finde the menu.lst file in the boot/grub directory [20:27] arvut: does 'lsof' show the dpkg directory currently open?

[20:30] hmm, its a lenovo [20:30] ok. thanks. [20:31] i have ubuntu 10.04. how do i make grub2 load into recovery mode by default (instead of loading into the normal mode)? [20:32] hey, is anyone here familiar with burg? (boot loader based on grub) [20:32] Bink_: BURG is not supported here. [20:33] Bink_: I don't think it is supported here - but I may err [20:33] Jordan_U, well that's not very nice :| [20:33] er well, kind of sick with working on it anyways.. guess i'll do with the ugly grub. [20:33] how do I switch to the programming channel? [20:34] Bink_: it's actually because ubuntu does not use burg by default [20:34] anadon: are you using empathy? [20:34] yup [20:34] I have two mice; one is a trackball. I would like to configure the trackball so that it scrolls the document, like the ball in Apple's Mighty Mouse, letting the regular mouse act as normal. How do I do this? [20:34] Bink_: You can use themes with grub2, and could before BURG existed. [20:34] I also have xchat, not not on it [20:35] anadon: click on room > join [20:35] Jordan_U, the theme support on grub2 is quite poor.. and other people seem to have no problem with burg [20:35] anadon: then type ##programming [20:35] Bink_: http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/ [20:35] can't find anything labeled room [20:35] rigved, as i said, others seem to have no problem with it [20:36] Bink_: BURG is a one person fork of GRUB2, and so it can't reasonably be included or supported by Ubuntu. [20:36] i have ubuntu 10.04. how do i make grub2 load into recovery mode by default (instead of loading into the normal mode)?

I realize you can't go from 8.10 to 10.04, but I'd like to go from intrepid to jaunty [20:47] vbwe: So you want to recover the linux partiton ? You should use gpart then. You can find it at system rescue cd if I remember ok [20:47] back up and reinstall ubuntu it has happened to me before but my default language was spanish and i couldnt read the error [20:47] adrian15 system rescue cd??? [20:47] is there another way other than do-release-upgrade? [20:47] this is on a pretty busy production server [20:47] vbwe: If the partitions have not been modified you can also recover windows 7 boot partition with gpart [20:48] that is about 4,000 miles away from me [20:48] how [20:48] vbwe: Yes, system rescue cd, I suppose you might also find the tool in ubuntu rescue remix [20:48] gpart in try ubuntu wont start [20:48] vbwe: It's a command line tool though [20:48] oh him.. sorry [20:48] im in ubuntu try [20:48] adrian [20:48] vbwe: If you are using an ubuntu live cd you will have to install a package that contains gpart, probably gpart [20:49] no i have an usb [20:49] i booted from usb [20:49] its wierd lol, i could've sworn wifi worked with ubuntu live-cd, it worked, but when installed does not at all.

[20:49] right now im using my phone to tether wifi internet connection [20:49] vbwe: No, no, the ubuntu live usb is ok. In a console type apt-get install gpart [20:50] terminal ? [20:50] vbwe: With the sudo command of course: sudo apt-get install gpart . Then you will have to use sudo gpart. [20:50] Anyone else having issues with apt-get in Intrepid? Shows 404s, and it looks like archive.ubuntu.com is missing intrepid package info. [20:50] vbwe: Terminal. Console. Command line.

[20:52] vbwe: You need to enable the universe repository. There are supposed to be several easy howtos on how to do that in ubuntu. After that sudo apt-get install part. And then sudo gpart . [20:53] harrymuffin: Thanks, that'll help :) [20:53] how do i enable it? [20:53] is there an alternative for wicd for managing wireless without running X?

[20:57] anyone got a EasyCAP AV USB2.0 working ?? [20:58] vbwe: (Sorry). Try something like gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list and try comment an universe line or something like this [20:58] vbwe: It might be even easier than using Synaptic or Software Sources I suppose [20:58] er I mean X movement much faster than Y, when the screens are side by side [20:58] My mouse wheel scrolls too much. How do I change that? [20:59] adrian15 [20:59] i did that [20:59] and now ?

[21:51] my B, guntbert [21:52] the !aptfix doesnt work either [21:52] yea, maybe i should just download all the resolutions i can? [21:52] goltoof: Make sure there aren't any terminals open that are cd'd to a directory on the drive. [21:52] goltoof: Or any files open from that drive. [21:52] n0a1ias: I don't think you need to. You should just be able to define them in the config file, shouldn't you? I'm not familiar with ATI, though, since I use NVIDIA.

[22:06] SorayaUbuntu: try aptitude, or apt-get autoremove [22:07] "Currently pairs and schemas can't be edited. This will be changed in a later version."

[22:07] now there's your actual question, ty goltoof =) [22:07] what happens when you try mount the drive? [22:08] n0a1ias: What happens when you do the sh on that file? [22:08] how do i use purge ? to complete unistall apps with no left overs [22:08] first, when i plug it in, says can't mount "No authority" [22:08] arvut: fuser exists on your system, just call it like I said above [22:08] same when i try to get to it in nautilus [22:08] guntbert: thx, will do [22:08] goltoof: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [22:08] so i mounted the drive manually in sudo, but i can't do anything i need to [22:08] autoremove delet a little more than leftovers [22:08] sh: Can't open aticonfig [22:08] littlegirl [22:08] i was missing apps using autoremove [22:09] bastid_raZor, i've been working on this for a couple hours now.. [22:09] all i want to do is mount this drive, reformat and create a startup disk [22:09] 2 hours.. [22:09] guntbert: I get nothing from it, does that mean no program is using it?

[22:10] Hello [22:10] n0a1ias: Ah, for aticonfig you don't type sh and a space before it. Try it without it. (: [22:10] alberto: hi [22:10] alberto: Hi! [22:10] Grant_EH, what you mean xterm? terminal, right? i just said that i mounted it manually [22:10] arvut: normally yes, but you can type fuser -m /var/lib/dpkg to make sure [22:10] ah [22:10] goltoof: i've had issues with startup disk creator and have ran it with gksudo which seemed to fix things.. in a terminal type gksudo usb-creator-gtk [22:10] any good video editor for ubuntu? [22:10] yeah i was just clarifying thats what you meant [22:11] or slideshow creator..

[22:11] hi, i wanted to install along with my windows partition, i chose the partition and set 20000 as the size of new partition in drive partitioning step of installation. now my whole drive is formatted and there is a 40gb unallocated space. Is there by any chance i can recover my files? [22:11] hmm [22:11] little girl, i get a lot of text [22:11] one sec, ill pastbinn [22:11] install ubuntu* [22:11] n0a1ias, if you can't run the ati file, put a "./" in front of it. [22:12] I got a weird looking output from the -m flag, will give you a pastebin in a sec cause I don't understand it [22:12] n0a1ias, this isn't Windows. In Linux, the current directory isn [22:12] nikre: have you written anything to the drive yet? [22:12] nikre: probably not. [22:12] n0a1ias, this isn't Windows. In Linux, the current directory isn't in the PATH [22:12] no i havent [22:12] bastid_raZor, finally, freedom! thanks..... [22:12] n0a1ias: Okay. (: [22:12] but the new drive format is ext2 [22:12] how long can Ubuntu password be ? [22:12] goltoof: you're welcome [22:12] nikre: you may be able to recover something. [22:12] .. i know, im jsut new to ubuntu sjm [22:13] kevins, the drive format changed, are you sure ? [22:13] Hi, how can I start kcontrol under Ubuntu Gnome just to config the KDE applications I use (KDE system fonts in particular). Thanks! [22:13] guntbert: http://pastebin.com/m2TCBqtw [22:13] nikre: Formatting a drive doesn't always clean wipe data e.g. write 0's over everything [22:13] tensorpudding, thanks.. and advance video creator? [22:13] vbwe: Can you hear at private talk? [22:13] how long can Ubuntu system password be ? [22:13] n0a1ias, littlegirl it looks like somehow gedit is the default program to open ".run" files. I would guess that is the problem of trying to run it in the GUI [22:13] the "active partition" software couldnt fo anything [22:13] with effect and transition. [22:13] http://pastebin.com/5Cs6Pz1j [22:14] do* === jason is now known as skaja [22:14] b0r3d0m: no idea [22:14] i'm quite mad at this [22:14] nikre: what sort of files were theu [22:14] sjm, how would you open it? [22:14] *they [22:14] Hullo chaps, just looking for an alternative touchpad driver for Macbook 3,1, can anyone be of assistance? [22:14] sjm n0a1ias Is there a way around that? [22:14] i select a partition and set size for new partition. what happens afterwards is completely irrelevant [22:15] n0a1ias, I know, I was explaining one of the differences in Linux. Why you got the "command not found" when trying to run the ati file. It wasn't in the PATH. You can explicitly run it by specifying the exact full or relative path to the file. [22:15] kevins, for example i lost my 3 months of code work === Kaizen is now known as Kyoku [22:15] what actyally is root password in ubuntu [22:15] when i try su root [22:15] arvut: my bad, with -m it checks the complete partition [22:15] can system password be over 20 characters ? [22:15] !root | Nertil [22:15] Nertil: 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 [22:15] nikre: did you choose to resize the windows partition? === Kyoku is now known as kaizen [22:15] nikre: i don't fully understand you [22:15] is there a big difference between gnome and fluxbox ? resource wise? [22:16] sjm, i tried it in the downloads folder too [22:16] n0a1ias, littlegirl to run the file in the terminal, just prepend it (if you are in the same directory) with a "./" (without the quotation marks) [22:16] I just installed extra components on gnome and don't know how to get them started [22:16] hi can anyone help me with connecting to an ldap server? im really struggling getting this to work, resources are bad [22:16] kevins, in the drive partitioning step of ubuntu installation, i selected my "d" drive which ntfs but not the windows installed partition. [22:16] arvut: if fuser /var/lib/dpkg gives nothing then there shouldn't be a process holding it -- what was the problem? [22:16] guntbert: yeah, the usage guide for fuser says something about mount [22:16] n0a1ias, littlegirl and make sure it is "executable" (chmod +x ) [22:17] can system password be over 20 characters ? [22:17] kevins, and set the size for new partition as 20gb [22:17] nikre: can you still use windows? [22:17] hello there, where can I find ping logs ? I want to know if someone ping me, I hear about ping logs so... [22:17] guntbert: aptitude, synaptic, apt-get & update-manager all refuse to run as there is this lock [22:17] kevins, in the drive partitioning step of ubuntu installation, i selected my "d" drive which ntfs but ""not the windows installed partition. " " [22:18] i have my c drive [22:18] arvut, is one of them running?

[22:18] arvut: please pastebin the output of sudo aptitude update [22:18] nikre: have you tried http://www.recovermyfiles.com/? [22:18] n0a1ias: So using what sjm says, you can go into the directory that ati...........run is in (not typing out the whole command) and type ./ati..........run to run it. (: [22:18] can system password be over 20 characters ? [22:19] nobody has any info on the trackpad driver for Macbook 3,1? [22:19] sjm, no. and I'm trying to find out why it's locked. I did run aptitude earlier but had to forcequit it when it didn't respond to ^c or ^z [22:19] i jsut tried it, and got that error [22:19] n0a1ias: Or, from anywhere, you can type ./PATH/ati...........run replacing PATH with the full path to the file. (: [22:19] kevins, that software cant find fiiles on a lost partition [22:19] n0a1ias: What error are you getting? [22:19] nikre: if you want to use it, stretch the ext partition back to 60gb and quick format to fat32.

(: [22:20] arvut, that's the problem. forcing it to quit didn't allow it to release the lock. (But I can't remember right now where the lock file is put for you to delete it manually) [22:20] n0a1ias: don't ever do that again please [22:20] oh right... [22:20] kevins, it was ntfs beforehand [22:20] why fat32? [22:20] nikre: it only needs to be in a windows-recognisable format. [22:20] sjm: that would be /var/lib/dpkg/lock [22:20] is guntburt a bot designd only to get mad at me? [22:20] ext isnt natively supported by windows. [22:20] md5sum -c MD5SUMS ... shouldn't that give me some output? it's not even recognized as a command [22:21] kevins, wouldnt that affect file tables and lose them [22:21] sjm: are you saying I should delete it as aptitude failed to do so? [22:21] n0a1ias: What do you see if you type cat ati-driver-installer-10-9-x86.x86_64.run [22:21] arvut, then delete it manually so you can run it again. [22:21] arvut, yes [22:21] disregard [22:21] n0a1ias: I'm beginning to suspect that ati-driver-installer-10-9-x86.x86_64.run is calling something else that doesn't exist on your system. [22:21] good evening all, quick question, Dell C610 laptop with untuntu 10.10 all updates applied, when i try to rotate the display 180 just the mouse inverts and not the desktop... soultions? [22:21] nikre: what does Windows think the ext partition is [22:22] a no such file or directory error littlegirl [22:22] kevins, i cant see the ext2 partition [22:22] in windows [22:22] n0a1ias, is the file "executable"? do an "ls -l ati...," and see if the "x" bits are set. [22:22] someone said it would cause problems if other programs were using it. so what I'm trying to do is to find out if any, and in that case, which programs that are using it [22:22] nikre: ok then [22:22] nikre: you may be able to do something if it says "RAW" [22:23] n0a1ias: Can you paste the results of ls -l on that directory into a pastebin? [22:23] nikre: have you used the package "recover" from synaptic [22:23] now i have a > as my propmpt [22:23] nikre: it has good support for ext2 drives.

(: [22:24] is there a big difference between gnome and fluxbox ? resource wise? [22:24] nikre: it wont do anything to allocated space.

So when you did the chmod command and Bash didn't say anything to you, that's a pretty good indication of success. I wonder why there isn't an outright success or failure on eevery command, but hey, as long as you know that no news is good news, everything is okay.

[22:38] Lin It's likely that the NTFS partition has errors on it. If so then the system refuses to resize it. Try running chkdsk in windows first.

[22:45] FreddyStrauss, I'd recommend you open a terminal and try running "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo-apt-get upgrade" and see if that is successful - running those 2 commands will update your system.

[22:47] SorayaUbuntu, purge will remove the config files in /etc type thing [22:47] littlegirl, This happened right after I format the partition to ext4 [22:47] So, be careful with it [22:48] Akuma_s: I'm not sure if it could be reporting the error wrong, but in the event that it's not, I'd definitely back up everything I could. [22:48] hi,how install gdm themes under ubuntu maverick [22:48] Akuma_s: Ah, then it might be a conflict of some sort if you still have some ext3 stuff. Do you? [22:48] Im trying to get my keys to sign Code of conduct of ubuntu ? for launchpad but i dont got any keys in keys and encryption, any help ? ubuntu 10.10 [22:48] ubunrtwgold, short answer is - you can't. Best of luck man, I've only been able to use the non-supported UbuntuTweak apps to change to a couple of worse themes. [22:48] littlegirl, Yeaph, is what I thought [22:48] Akuma_s: Now you're worrying me. I just installed Ubuntu LTS and am currently using ext4........... [22:48] ZykoticK9, thanks,i read a little about it but didnt mention that part,it did says that will not remove configurations yn home [22:49] thanks [22:49] OMG, how do i recover files from my hDD when i dropped it :( [22:49] >< or maybe just read some more >< *Slap himself* [22:49] VirusTB: TestDisk [22:49] why install-mbr package is not in ubuntu! [22:49] how install dvb-t firmware in fedora core [22:49] SorayaUbuntu, that's why i used the /etc for the example, as you correctly state - it won't touch home directory stuff. [22:49] VirusTB: Mac? for a mac? [22:49] VirusTB: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [22:50] my card no works sucks [22:50] linuix no good for dvb cards [22:50] hmm, I'm havig problems moving windows across my 6 desktops (using compiz with a nice hexagonal sphere) [22:50] truecrypt seems to be saying it encrypts an entire volume, will it work for individual files? [22:51] ubunrtwgold, if you are using fedora you should visit their support channel(s) - this is ubuntu only support [22:51] Eventyret: well i droped it :( and it seems that the disc doesnt eben spin anymore :S [22:51] it works to move them clockwise all the way around, but not counterclockwise [22:51] jihodi, why bother? tar [22:51] VirusTB: oh >< [22:51] VirusTB: internal or external drive ? [22:51] goltoof: tar? [22:51] zykotick9 not i know yes or not [22:51] Eventyret: :S its not my HDD thats the worse part [22:51] Akuma_s: The more pages I read in those results, the worse it looks. Even if that drive is behaving normally right now, I would assume it's about to fail and make sure you have it backed up and a replacement ready. ): [22:52] littlegirl, I have 3 partitions in the same HDD with... [22:52] Akuma_s: Are they backed up? [22:52] help [22:52] Eventyret: ts an external 120GB, connects via USB [22:52] littlegirl, ext4 and the other 2 are ext3 [22:52] littlegirl, Not yet :P Im working on it [22:52] dvb-t in ubuntu? [22:52] w_scan suck [22:52] VirusTB: what sort of external ? [22:52] not work [22:52] Akuma_s: That *could* be the cause, but it doesn't sound like it from what those pages are saying. I hope you get everything backed up! [22:53] help me [22:53] bad sof [22:53] Thanks anyway for the support littlegirl [22:53] I will try that [22:53] Eventyret: what do u mean?... its USB, ithink its not SSD because its size is 120GB [22:53] ubunrtwgold: ? What you need ? [22:53] Akuma_s: I wish it had been better news, but better safe than sorry. Then once you have it backed up you can try stuff and maybe rescue it. (: [22:54] jihodi, or aescrypt. or truecrypt is fine but you can encrypt with tar also [22:54] work my card! [22:54] Eventyret: 2.5 small size , like a laptop harrddrive [22:54] VirusTB: i mean is it a Seagate, Samsung, Freeagent so on.

[22:57] FreddyStrauss, i have no idea man - we don't have much to work on with just an "operation failed" message, that could be anything. Could you pastebin the output from a terminal window? It would help the channel [22:57] igor85, Ask in the Debian channel on irc.oftc.net [22:57] VirusTB: well get a USB pen and boot up a livecd ? [22:58] peepz, is it group writable? then put yourself (admin) in the www-data group and you should be able to manage the file.

I accidently formatted a windows extternal HD with ubuntu. Is there any way to recover the data or un-format the drive? [23:03] I'm having problems with sound on my laptop... sound come right on the speakers, but nothing for headphones, even if I plug them in! I installed the alsa drivers backports to solve this, but now it won't work! I recently made an update and installed my ethernet card driver... [23:03] vrus tb garbage [23:03] ubunrtwgold: How about this one: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/59-ubuntu-xbmc [23:04] FreddyStrauss, my recommendation is close USC open a terminal and try running "sudo apt-get -f install" to try and fix and broken/failed installation attempts. [23:04] thanks littlegirl [23:04] why is aptitude not doing anything after "Unpacking replacement libasound2 ..."? [23:04] but the installation WORKS, it is just that it tells me it didnt, but it always works... [23:04] so there is a bug [23:04] ubunrtwgold: I'm not sure it will work, but it's one of the pages I found when I put the name of your card in. (: [23:04] it seems to have stopped working [23:05] ok [23:05] i looking it [23:05] sjm> thank you [23:06] sjm: I ran your command..I still cant set the permissions :* [23:06] :( [23:06] peepz, did you log out and back in (required for group changes) [23:07] oh let me try [23:07] actually i set that being logged on as root [23:07] and after that I logged in as admin [23:07] peepz, from a terminal you can check with the "groups" command [23:07] I need help! I accidently formatted a windows external HD with ubuntu. Is there any way to recover the data or un-format the drive? [23:08] RussR: What did you do precisely? [23:08] oh..I am in the www-data group! [23:08] please people, I have problems with sound... it won't come out through my headphones [23:08] russr super boot grub is solution [23:08] hold on..www-data does not have permissions to change file permission right? it shouldt have? [23:09] Jordan, I was installing ubuntu on what I thought was a new HD but unfortunately I had an ext plugged in and it installed there instead [23:09] sjm im confused..i just want to have the ability to change the permissions on my home folder files that are of owner www-data:www-data [23:10] RussR: There is no way to "unformat" then. You may be able to recover some files with photorec. [23:10] i was intalling 3 OS in hd thanks a supergrubdisk i saved [23:10] I did that, however it renamed all the files [23:10] peepz: only the owner of a file can change the permissions [23:11] yes..so back to my initial qustion:) [23:11] is there a way torecover data and keep the original file names? [23:11] captkirk: when applications running on my web server downloads files on its own the ownership gets set to www-data:www-data .. how can I force it to be set to admin:www-data? [23:11] normally mater boot firs partition needs windows :) [23:11] with reload [23:11] RussR: No. [23:11] Eventyret: an live cd, hw do i instal an RC client [23:12] Eventyret: IRC client?? sudo apt=get xchat ??

[23:12] I did get EnCase Forensic and it would do it, but now being a linux drive it does not see the drive [23:13] can anyone help me with this i'm using mutt http://pastebin.com/iFpPALBH [23:13] peepz: I don't know if you can, since ownership can only be changed root [23:13] SkiingPenguins, carefully ;) - FYI the last step of install has an "advanced" (or similar wording) that allows you to install grub onto the USB instead of the first HD (may be important!) Best of luck. [23:13] SkiingPenguins: How big is the drive, and do you plan to use it as a full install (installing new applications, keeping up to date, etc) or just as a basic live system? [23:14] how do i install an IRC client from terminal on a live CD? [23:14] how long should it take to install libasound2? [23:14] VirusTB: which IRC client? [23:14] Hello Flannel, mind helping me out? [23:14] VirusTB: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xchat [23:14] 250gb after the data is off I will wipe and reformat [23:14] Jordan_U: it is an 8gb, and i would like a full install [23:15] then how do web servers work? how can they download plugins through wordpress and then login through ftp and change permissions..it has to be possible [23:15] VirusTB: or use irssi xD [23:15] peepz: Not unless y ou have something running as root which does the chown'ing [23:15] russr you are fuck [23:15] how can I give a user sudo priviligies to files in his own home folder?

[23:17] ubunrtwgold: thats what she said [23:17] Jordan_U: and what about the bootloader, where would i put that? [23:17] ubunrtwgold: you can not spell either. [23:17] VirusTB: then you use that [23:18] ubunrtwgold, don't insult people! and don't swear. [23:18] ?

[23:41] plainas: The ubuntu alternate CD also uses a text-based installer, but it installs the normal desktop version [23:41] xim_: if you want a definitely-removable keylogger, why not get a hardware one? just unplug it when you're done [23:42] edbian, yeah tried that, no dice. i am a writer and this morning i lost text in a crashed browser window for the very last time [23:42] maco, i have seen those, would love one but they are pricey [23:42] plainas: the server cd does use a text install, why you are getting a graphical install I don't know [23:42] xim_, Ha, very clever idea. [23:42] ok... the question is: server edition, is it possible to install in text mode? [23:42] (windows xp runs perfectly on this computer) === Roig__ is now known as RooiG === serena is now known as Guest33864 [23:43] IdleOne: no errors in the log actually, just the same rubbish I got in the terminal [23:43] VirusTB: 99% and failure oO ? [23:43] arvut: try sudo apt-get -f install see what happens [23:43] when i try to go into synaptic from the System menu, it does not like my password. when i go from the command line sudo synaptic, it accepts the password [23:43] plainas: If you are seeing a graphical installer then you are not booting from the server CD. [23:43] xim_: i would do the writing in a normal application instead of browser and save often [23:43] plainas: Are you sure you're using the server install CD? It shouldn't have a graphical installer [23:43] xim_: if it was a blog thing, i like blogilo for that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:44] is there a way to change the encoding quality of rhythmbox when it encodes for an ipod from terrible sounding 113k/s mp3 to something better say 320? [23:44] xim_, What you need is a more stable distro IMHO. [23:44] plainas: It shouldn't have a GUI at all [23:44] i have a machine running ubuntu server 10.04 should i /can i upgrade it to 10.10? [23:44] Gunni: do you need to? [23:44] IdleOne: seems to get stuck at the same line :( I'm doomed!! [23:44] I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on Dell Inspiron via USB. I made the USB with Unetboot in via alternate ISo. After language selection it gives a cd error. I tried editing the boot command to include cdrom-detect/try-usb=true but it didnt work [23:44] need, not neccecarely but isnt the newest better? [23:44] arvut: what is it you are trying to install in the first place? [23:44] hey, there is a problem when I try to use ubuntu 10.04 32bit live CD.....pc screen goes black after loading the UI, no more signal and cpu fans goes on heavy duty. It always do that. Any idea? [23:44] mmmm i'm not sure where the border is set... but for example... the language selection... how does it looks like in server edition? [23:45] just updates [23:45] Gunni, Not always. The older versions are supported for a while (which basically means they get security patches) If anything older is more stable and more (or equally) secure. [23:45] Gunni: not always. 10.04 server will be supported another 3.5 years or so. [23:45] also, now that i think about it... it does say have all the options of server instalations on the menu [23:45] Eventyret: restartting [23:45] oh well i'll keep this one then [23:45] then when i choose for example "instal ubuntu server edition" the screen gets all messed up and i can't see anything [23:46] VirusTB: Alright =) [23:46] it gets stuck at "Unpacking replacement libasound2 ..." everytime I try to update (there is obviously some new update to this lib [23:46] obviously typing in a more stable program is better, but i type in all kinds of programs for different things, not just one. also this particular time it wasnt actually a crash i closed the wrong browser tab, but a keylogger like i used to be l337 with when i was 10 would be a quick solution to a keyboard buffer [23:46] Gunni: you can upgrade if you want to but I don't see a reason to, 10.04 still has a lot of life left to it [23:46] yeah but i am just configuring it before going live, thought about upgrading before it did [23:47] I would like to reinstall my eclipse, how do I make sure all my settings are removed? [23:47] How would I access my computer remotely from another network? [23:47] When I run gdmsetup everything is grayed out. What can I do about that? [23:47] Gunni: stick to 10.04. [23:47] w1n5ton: reformat would make sure... [23:47] w1n5ton: vnc & ssh [23:47] k will do [23:47] err, wessel ^^ [23:47] w1n5ton: that wasn't for you, sorry [23:47] vnc? [23:47] w1n5ton, using ssh and port-forwarding [23:47] !info vnc [23:47] Package vnc does not exist in maverick [23:47] w1n5ton: VNC + ssh with port forwarding is :) [23:47] !info x11vnc [23:47] x11vnc (source: x11vnc): VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.10-1 (maverick), package size 971 kB, installed size 2020 kB [23:47] wow. awesome, getting the same great support from the official website. [23:48] w1n5ton, vnc is logging in remotely with graphics. ssh is a shell. === Wicla_ is now known as Wicla [23:48] I cannot seem to get my DVD-ROM drive to recognize any type of disk, but it shows up in $ sudo lshw -c disk? Any clues on how to fix this? [23:48] tonsofpcs, I never reinstalled something before on linux [23:48] wessel: me neither [23:48] I have only used sudo apt get install my file [23:48] arvut: try purging libasound2 then reinstalling it [23:48] wessel: you could dpkg reconfigure [blah] [23:49] vnc is not secure, ssh is. You make VNC secure by creating a secure shell (ssh) tunnel, then run the vnc over it, rather than exposing vnc to the outside world [23:49] fireygod: is the DVD getting mounted? [23:49] well my eclipse is behaving weird, I would like to make a clean install, so I'm sure I can rule out any settings that I changed [23:49] IdleOne: maybe I should just deselect that package and see if it updates the rest (15 other updates that is) [23:49] arvut: yup, try that [23:49] ah so the the command to reinstall is called reconfigure! :D [23:49] Tylerjd: no it will not mount, either with or without a disk [23:50] wessel: apt-get remove [blah], apt-get clean, apt-get install [blah] iirc, but that doesn't guarantee settings reset. dpkg reconfigure resets settings (if the package was made right) [23:50] hello, i seem to have broken the touchpad mouse on my laptop. i turned it off and now it won't turn back on again, even after a restart. ideas? ubuntu 10.04 [23:50] you could also read the man page of [blah] to figrue out how to reset settings [23:50] VirusTB: just reloigg irc 1 sec [23:50] fierygod: It may be that /dev/cdrom may not be listed in your fstab file, how comfortable are you in using the terminal? [23:51] There =D [23:51] how do I set up vnc and ssh? [23:51] Someone please tell how to fix the "Can't read from Cd" error when installing 10.10 from USB [23:51] evelyette: ok\ [23:51] hmm, now aptitude can't get a lock on /var/lock/aptitude [23:51] Over the last week and a half since installing 10.04 I have been using the terminal almost nonstop lol [23:51] arvut: rm the lock file [23:51] arvut, You have another instance of the package manager running [23:51] fierygod, I am not on my machine without having a terminal open [23:51] or what edbian said [23:52] w1n5ton, First install ssh and get that working. Then worry about vnc. [23:52] w1n5ton, sudo apt-get install openssh-server (on the server) [23:52] hello [23:52] nope, killed it and removed the lock at /var/lib/dpkg/lock as I did earlier [23:52] w1n5ton, Additionally, set up ssh on your LAN first, the worry about connecting over the internet. [23:52] I'm not sure my dpkg has the reconfigure option [23:52] alguem do Brasil?? [23:52] it has --configure [23:52] !br | GT23 [23:52] GT23: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:52] is there a way to highlight your nick in irssi? [23:53] aptitude is a nice enemy tonite =P [23:53] arvut, Don't manually remove the lock unless all else fails. I would restart before I manually removed the lock. [23:53] Tylerjd: I have /etc/fstab open right now [23:53] oh [23:53] Dropje^: it does that by default, no? [23:53] aight [23:53] got openssh [23:53] fireygod: ok, then can you tell me if you see a line containing /dev/cdrom (and that may contain a number) [23:53] I've removed it 3 times now [23:53] jrib ah yes your name is yellow ^^ cheers [23:53] hello, i seem to have broken the touchpad mouse on my laptop. i turned it off and now it won't turn back on again, even after a restart. ideas? ubuntu 10.04 [23:53] w1n5ton, k, go to a client. and run ssh user@server [23:53] edbian: restart? really? [23:53] wessel@wegumar7 ~ $ sudo dpkg --configure eclipse [23:53] dpkg: error processing eclipse (--configure): [23:53] w1n5ton, Does that makes sense or should I elaboarte [23:53] VirusTB: hows it going ? =D [23:53] Dropje^: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup [23:54] I know what it means\ [23:54] Eventyret: ok gonnt insert cd now and rebot brb [23:54] IdleOne, I'd rather make sure some other package manager wasn't running. Restarting would assure that. [23:54] tonsofpcs, I'm pretty sure the eclipse package was made right [23:54] edbian: I suppose so. :) [23:54] IdleOne, I have cleared the lock file before. I didn't like doing it though. I feel like I'm lying to the computer (it never lies to me!) [23:54] IdleOne, yeah [23:54] Dropje^: yeah it should hilight nick when mentioned [23:54] i have problems when connecting to a smb share thats connected to an ldap server i get pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for Posselt_Bernhard [23:54] tonsofpcs, or are you referring to the dpkg package? [23:55] thats the full error log paste http://paste.pocoo.org/show/286702/ [23:55] wessel: no, eclipse [23:55] just dpkg-reconfigure eclipse [23:55] so a restart is finally in order then, see you soon =) [23:55] djuggler: /set hilight_nick_matches [23:55] fierygod: ok, then can you tell me if you see a line containing /dev/cdrom (and that may contain a number) (sorry misspelled your username the first time) [23:55] Tylerjd: Negative. The only things listed in fstab are: dev/sda6 (ext4), dev/sda7 (swap), dev/sda1 (ntfs), and dev/sda5 (ntfs) [23:55] histo: yeah i can see that, makes following different channels easier :) started a new job and need to learn a lot! more about linux. good ways to start i guess are communities thats why i hopped in here :) [23:55] In 10.10, is there a way to make Empathy log? [23:55] How do I move my PGP key from one ubuntu install to another? [23:55] there is supposed to be a "linux keylogger" package called "lkl" in the universe repos, but I can't find it. Did they take it out? [23:55] ok, well that is your problem, let me tell you how to fix it [23:56] I give up in trying to solve the mysterious update problems [23:56] lol [23:56] I have neither of my drives listed in there [23:56] Hey guys I have the 10.0.4 ubuntu iso and i want to put it on an sd card to boot it from a netbook. However I have to do create teh bootable sd card from a macbook pro, any idea how? thanks [23:56] dont [23:56] Core_UK: There's a few ways. Easiest is to copy /home/you/.gnupg to the new install (warning, will remove keys on the new account) [23:57] I've had 2 netbooks and I never could get either to boot from an SD [23:57] Tylerjd: I have a CD-RW, and a DVD-ROM. I have tried looking up how to gain the UUIDs so I can "try" to add them into fstab, but as I am new to the game, I have not been able to figure this one out. [23:58] surdle: do you have an option to boot from sd on yoru netbook? [23:58] histo: yes [23:58] xD [23:58] !usb | surdle [23:58] surdle: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:59] surdle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1513386 [23:59] so I just go ssh ?
