[00:00] iceroot, thx! [00:00] dcyber09: wouldnt sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq apache2 remove apache and all configs - then reinstall resolve this? [00:00] geoffmcc : not sure, but ill try [00:01] jeffreyf : i will upload my conf , wait [00:01] dcyber09; i havent done with apache but i screwed up pretty bad b4 with mysql and every time i reinstalled would get same problem till i ran that command [00:02] jeffreyf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/527306/ === Crisco is now known as zz_Crisco [00:04] dcyber09....first issue is ServerRoot should be /var/www still looking [00:05] dcyber....no listen directive! not sure what that will do. [00:05] jeffreyf : yes, or we can change the dir for simple try? [00:06] dcyber09, did you try the dpkg purge from geoffmcc? [00:06] jeff : not yet [00:07] Try that. The conf file is not right. I can paste mine if you want and try that one. Do you have an index.html in the /var/www? [00:07] jeff : dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove apache2 which isn't installed. [00:07] jeff : yes ihave [00:07] dcyber09: dpkg -l apache2 [00:08] dcyber09: status = rc? [00:08] Hello. [00:08] yes [00:08] iceroot : what is rc? === administrator is now known as Guest37467 [00:08] sorry [00:08] dcyber09: removed but conf still there [00:08] iceroot : seems so [00:09] thanks [00:09] I have two external hdd on my ubuntu machine. One 320gb and a verbatim 1,5Tb. The problem is that while it recognizes the 320gb automatically I doesn't seem to do so for the other one. How can I make it work? [00:09] iceroot : i typed dpkg -l then, theres a few txt appear [00:09] before I paste, try iceroot's suggestion [00:09] delete the .conf file (rename it to .bak) [00:10] ok [00:10] well done [00:10] I can't see anything on fdisk by the way. [00:10] megasa problem [00:11] So my netbooks boot logo looked weird === v3nd3tta`` is now known as v3n``afk === v3n``afk is now known as v3n``zZz [00:11] it was just text [00:11] like where it says ubuntu and has the little dots [00:12] !away > v3n``zZz [00:12] v3n``zZz, please see my private message [00:12] So I modified grub and plymouth to try to fix it [00:12] can amazon ec2 be used to assist in computing resources on a desktop ubuntu install ? [00:12] and now it only boots into command line\ [00:12] What should I do? [00:12] dcyber09...mine is the same. I know there are other includes. Try removing again, then rename the /etc/apache2 and /var/www folders to .bak then reinstall [00:12] or is ubuntu enterprise cloud the only thing that can use amazon ec2 [00:13] I'm trying to mount a virtualbox shared folder, but I keep getting No such device. [00:13] jeff : ok [00:14] Slix``, try #vbox [00:14] its a networking drive [00:14] So, anyone? [00:14] k-rad: I have. Is this a problem with vbox or is it some problem with how I'm mounting it? [00:15] i believe you may need to apply your guestadditions.iso there in your inital virtualbox config [00:15] I did. It gave some error about the kernel, but otherwise installed fine. === ciro is now known as cmsouza [00:16] how do i see the kernel list once i boot up 10.10 ? [00:16] Slix``, try #vbox [00:16] k [00:16] OY1R, i think you hold shift [00:17] jeff : well its same, no /var/www created [00:17] OY1R: I think it's ESC or DEL just after your BIOS completes. [00:17] k-rad: I never tried shift ??? [00:17] ill give those a try after i download 10.04. thanks [00:17] anyone? [00:18] Anyone here familiar with mdadm/raid? [00:18] is there a way to restore grub through command line? [00:18] PJSingh5000, left shift or control to see grub menu [00:19] good to know; I believe esc used to work for me, but perhaps I'm wrong. I will give shift-ctrl a try myself. [00:21] quit [00:24] Can someone tell me what Unity is? [00:24] !unity | Rad- [00:24] Rad-: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [00:24] How Do I restore the default boot image? [00:24] I was on a forum and someone brought up that Ubuntu is trying to implement unity and move away from X11 [00:24] Is anyone able to help me get an Arch Linux install on a partition of my hard drive to run from QEMU within Ubuntu. I am using these instructions: http://tinyurl.com/2u7v8u9 . However, QEMU says it's booting and nothing happens. Also, I have restarted my system since then and I need to recreate the software RAID drive. How can I do this so I can automate the task so I don't have to do it everytime I want to boot Arch in QEMU? [00:25] Rad-: no, the want to use unity without the x-server but unity itself is not a repleacement for the x-server [00:26] @ iceroot i mean more information than that.. [00:26] like.. unity is supposedly a new DE for netbook remix, according to google [00:26] (looking at unity.ubuntu.com now as well) [00:26] also they wanted to move to another graphics server thingus.. [00:26] but i heard that wayland is not usable at this time. [00:26] with nvidia, you get a config tools for easily enabling a second screen, resolution etc. (i.e. Nvidia X Server Settings). Is there a similar tool for non-nvidia cards? I have a board with x4500HD graphics... or do I have to modify the xorg.conf file myself? [00:27] and you mentioned unity is a "shell" [00:27] What do you mean by Shell? SOmething to go on TOP of the DE? [00:27] I can get into grub if that's any help [00:27] scanning through unity.ubuntu.com tells me it's going to replace GNOME? [00:27] Rad-: read the links ubottu gave you [00:28] @ iceroot still reading [00:28] Rad-: http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ will answer your questions [00:29] still not sure what it's real purpose is, but yes i'll read that post. [00:29] has anyone implemented android style scrollbar in ubuntu [00:29] so they would only be visible when scrolling [00:29] (I haven't used ubuntu since this summer) [00:31] Rad-: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Ubuntu-to-replace-GNOME-Shell-with-Unity-1125445.html [00:31] i'm still confused what the hell "shell" means. shell to me means...urvxt? [00:31] xterm? [00:31] I need to apply a patch to a single driver, what is the most efficient way to do this [00:31] Rad-: please reread the links [00:31] Rad-: bash, zsh, etc... [00:31] ?* [00:31] jrib: he means gnome-shell [00:31] @ iceroot still going thrugh the second one you sent me. [00:31] Rad-: never mind then [00:32] Rad-, urvxt is not a shell. It is a terminal emulator [00:32] sry. wrong term >< [00:32] hi === Slix__ is now known as Slix` [00:32] Rad-, a terminal emulator runs a shell which then runs your programs :-P [00:32] >< [00:32] right [00:32] hi flyguy [00:32] is there a channel for media player? [00:33] there is only one shell, zsh :) [00:33] oh i found it [00:33] flyguy: which media player? [00:33] @ iceroot BASH Ftw [00:33] Aw, what's wrong with sh? [00:33] Rad-: use zsh to know why it is the only real shell [00:33] Rad, think of it this way: Any old terminal (like xterm or urxvt) can run any old shell (like bash or zsh), which can run any old program. [00:33] @ iceroot that requires me to figure out how to do it. [00:33] gidimanunaki, sh is not a shell... [00:34] gidimanunaki, /bin/sh is actually dash on ubuntu :-) [00:34] here goes nothing, installing ubuntu on poweredge [00:34] Good luck! [00:34] so terminal emulators emulate shells? [00:34] I'll be back in the morning with problems, no doubt [00:34] See you then Tuzlo! [00:34] djs, no, they run shells [00:35] ok, i have a problem. Flash all of a sudden stopped working in firefox. I go to youtube and click on video, then its just white where video is supposed to be [00:35] when i right click where video supposed to be, no menu or nothing pops up [00:35] ive tried everything, every flash site will not work [00:35] ive tried it in google chrome, and the flash is really buggy somehow, and it never used to be buggy in chrome until now any suggestions? [00:35] travis2009: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:35] djs, a terminal emulator emulates a terminal... lol [00:35] oh im still gnona be here, got a winblows box beside it [00:35] oops, didnt mean to do that [00:35] Hi all. How can I limit upload bandwidth to a specific program/process? [00:35] They're called terminal emulators because originally the idea was to emulate an old fashioned terminal, right? And that's just an interface without any software of its own. [00:35] i was trying to copy it from another channel, since it was a long question [00:35] ok, i have a problem. Flash all of a sudden stopped working in firefox. I go to youtube and click on video, then its just white where video is supposed to be [00:36] when i right click where video supposed to be, no menu or nothing pops up [00:36] !botsnack | ubottu [00:36] avo: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [00:36] avo: maybe trickle, I never used it though [00:36] wtf is a terminal/shell. hello wikipedia [00:36] hi guys! [00:36] I dont remember the command that show me details of a domain, like which NS it is using? [00:36] ive tried everything, every flash site will not work [00:36] ive tried it in google chrome, and the flash is really buggy somehow, and it never used to be buggy in chrome until now any suggestions? [00:36] How is the new version of Ubuntu (don't say great)? I switched to arch linux because [00:36] Apt > Yum. [00:36] Noodels, yep. It is the interface. xterm, konsole, etc [00:36] 1. Ubuntu made things too easy. I wasn't learning anything [00:36] someone please help travis, we've been trying to figure this out for a long time now [00:36] lol [00:36] 2. I couldn't get xmobar to work correctly. [00:36] afeijo>: dig i think [00:36] !ot | Rad- [00:36] Rad-: #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! [00:37] testing [00:37] yes geoffmcc thanks [00:37] Rad-: you could have learned how to get xmobar working I guess... [00:37] geoffmcc++ [00:37] djs, Software is structured, this is how we build computer systems. Basically, there are seperate artificial abstract concepts that have very simple interfaces between them. So all a terminal has to do is display what the shell outputs, and return to the shell whatever input it receives. [00:37] jrib: it's working fine on arch. [00:37] anyone? [00:37] Rad-: it works fine on ubuntu too! [00:37] travis2009: amd64? [00:38] jrib: not really. i could never get it to load properly. [00:38] Rad-: used it for years probably [00:38] iceroot: i have 32 bit ubuntu on amd athlon 64 [00:38] how do i find what kernel I have? [00:38] really? i couldn't get my xinitrc to work [00:38] Rad-: but anyway, if you want help with it, just say so. This channel is for support [00:38] iceroot: the thing is, flash worked a few minutes ago, but then all of a sudden stopped working, and shows plain white [00:39] sympt0m: uname -v [00:39] sympt0m: uname -r [00:39] Whoever said that Ubuntu is getting close to user-friendliness with Windows was really incorrect. [00:39] sympt0m, uname -a [00:39] v or r? lol [00:39] r [00:39] >.> [00:39] travis2009: restarted firefox? [00:39] thanks! [00:39] r [00:39] Slix`; pfft, you've clearly never used gentoo. [00:39] sympt0m: uname -r [00:39] thanks =] [00:39] sympt0m, -a means all. That will give the most info :-) [00:39] !ot | Slix` Noodels [00:39] Slix` Noodels: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

You will change your mind ;-) [00:40] arch is pretty user friendly too :/ [00:41] blakkheim, after it is setup... [00:41] smw: it holds your hand through the whole setup process lol [00:41] smw, blakkheim, I just got ot'd for talking about that here. :( [00:42] iceroot: i solved it, had to make a new firefox profile [00:42] blakkheim, I am running arch now. I am not saying it is impossible... but it is not ubuntu [00:42] hj [00:43] downgrading. [00:43] hi truonggiang [00:43] good morning [00:44] this is somethin new, I havent messed with linux in a cpl years, should I use an encrypted home dir? [00:44] you should encrypt everything [00:44] Tuzlo, do you know the pros and cons? [00:44] nope [00:45] like I said, been a cpl years [00:45] Tuzlo: I think it's worthwhile on a laptop, on a desktop not really. Do you understand what encryption is? [00:45] Tuzlo, pro: if you do something sensitive, it is safe if your computer is stolen. [00:45] yeah kinda, use PKI encryption at work [00:45] if it's sencitive data on a laptop it might be a good thing. [00:45] Can somebody help me with getting my wireless internet to work? I have a BCM5787M, and it was working correctly with 10.04, when i updated to 10.10, it stopped working. Any help please? [00:46] Tuzlo, con: slower if you pull alot of stuff from it (like videos) [00:46] ah, understood [00:46] desktops have less likelihood of being stolen so there isnt a point of encrypting them regardless of OS [00:46] brianl: tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [00:46] Tuzlo, pro: it helps paranoid people fulfill there life goals. [00:46] jrib: I don't have a system-administration-hardware drivers.. ? [00:47] RottNKorpse, OS has nothing to do with the need for encryption [00:47] did System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers get renamed in 10.10? [00:47] brianl : Additional Drivers [00:47] they changed the term used in System [00:47] jrib: It says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [00:48] how do i "unload" drivers? i need to unload my wireless card drivers [00:48] brianl: and are any available? [00:48] I don't see any [00:48] sympt0m: modprobe -r [00:48] !wireless > brianl [00:48] brianl, please see my private message [00:48] brianl: see if that's any help [00:48] I bought a new domain last night. I set it to my NS, I added it to my named folder, and to my apache .conf file... but it isnt working, dig dont show what it should... what am I missing? [00:48] smw I know it doesn't which is what I was saying...regardless of what OS is used...encrypting one's desktop isn't hardly ever needed [00:48] need help, i tried enlightenment, nice, but i logged back into my normal "ubuntu desktop edition" session and I still have enlightenment window decorations and all, how do i remove all this back to gnome ? [00:49] iceroot, what's the module i have to specify? [00:49] sympt0m: lsmod will tell you [00:49] Are ubuntu releases that have reached EOL, are they then considered stable or are they always considered unstable? [00:49] RottNKorpse, very true [00:49] this is gion on a server, so no encryption [00:49] oh, I know what [00:49] !lts | LinuxGuy2009 [00:49] LinuxGuy2009: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [00:50] LinuxGuy2009: a release is by definition stable once it's released... [00:50] named.conf, duuh [00:50] afeijo: are you using lamp? [00:50] yes RottNKorpse [00:50] Does ubuntu support 64-bit native flash (square?) [00:50] Rad-: you can install it, not sure if apt pulls it in [00:50] whats the megapack name of medibuntu? [00:50] LinuxGuy2009, long term support is supposed to be "more stable" because it has been around longer [00:50] Rad: no it isnt in apt [00:50] !medibuntu | dzup2 [00:50] dzup2: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:51] need help, i tried enlightenment, nice, but i logged back into my normal "ubuntu desktop edition" session and I still have enlightenment window decorations and all, how do i remove all this back to gnome ? [00:51] but you can install it as I have it on my laptop [00:51] although it is kind of buggy and crashes at times [00:51] !repeat | chrometiger [00:51] chrometiger: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:51] Rad-, adobe does not support 64bit flash [00:51] jrib: hrm, the problem I am having is that my computer is not even recognizing wlan as a device, just eth0 and lo [00:51] Rad-, ubuntu can't if adobe does not [00:51] jrib but i can not browse anything, my isp have problems in http traffic, can you tellme the name of mediubuntu ? [00:51] smw there is a way as I have it...I forgot how I did it but I do have it on my laptop...I'll see if I can figure out how I did it [00:52] dzup2: if you can't browse things, then you aren't going to be able to use medibuntu anyway [00:52] smw: But I have used Lucid LTS and its clearly not all there. So maybe I should stick with Hardy LTS or even just an older, even EOL release if I want a more stable version? [00:52] or is ubuntu enterprise cloud the only thing that can use amazon ec2 [00:52] can amazon ec2 be used to assist in computing resources on a desktop ubuntu install ? [00:52] LinuxGuy2009: don't use EOL releases... [00:52] jrib: Why not? [00:52] afeijo did you figure it out? [00:53] jrib not now, at this moment but i can apt-get install into i get my isp to fix my *:80 deal [00:53] LinuxGuy2009: because they are EOL... They aren't supported and don't receive security updates [00:53] i used 8.10 until a few hours ago. [00:53] yes RottNKorpse thanks! I forgot to add the new domain in my named.conf, I only created the domain.db file [00:53] dzup2: medibuntu is a repository, not a package [00:53] smw: flash square? [00:53] dig is returning as it should now [00:53] im on the way from 10.10 to 10.04 now. [00:53] waiting the browser to locate the domain... :) [00:53] afeijo ahh ok...glad you got it [00:53] k-rad, ec2 can not help your desktop with processing... [00:53] Rad-, what is flash square? [00:54] jrib ok, i understand that, anyways i wait then when i can use my browser and read that myself, thanks [00:54] smw: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [00:54] smw 3 flashes multiplying? [00:54] LinuxGuy2009: truth is nothing is ever stable, just that if theres a problem with windows or osx its their job to fix it, whilst community built oses don't have that kind of support === lukaszg_ is now known as lukaszg [00:54] jrib: I just want a version of Ubuntu that works. Should I just avoid the newest versionf of ubuntu and maybe stick with a version or two back to get more stable packages? [00:54] jrib: and if i use iwconfig, it says no extensions? [00:54] does anyone know if i can add another computer to my network in order to distribute reosurces via the lan ala beowulf type configuration [00:54] LinuxGuy2009: best choices are latest LTS or latest release [00:54] jrib: please, if you could help me.

[01:40] Gnea: i can open the terminal and type metacity -- replace and everything works fine till i close the terminal [01:40] Well I also have XP and Win7 with the Windows boot manage, will Ubuntu be viewable or will it switch boot managers?

Install 9-04, then install virtual-box and run your XP under that, where you use both your Ubuntu and XP at the same time. [01:41] RottNKorpse, my header is about 1 inch thick is this normal for ubuntu? [01:42] chrometiger: no, your best bet is to make sure that the packages are in place: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:42] no boing [01:42] wow! so I have to start off with a 'which' to get the path? that's no good, [01:42] chrometiger: does that install anything new? [01:42] I use 24px [01:42] ethras: why is that no good? [01:42] so mang people [01:42] boing do compiz first [01:42] ok [01:43] boing install "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)" [01:43] well it's fine, but not as nice as 'rpm -qf', to get the same functionality i'll have to write up a script and alias it [01:44] Tbotnik why 9.04? [01:44] but thanks! that was exactly what I was looking for! [01:44] Hello, im again! I see on my airmon and show me this interface eth1(yes is my wifi) Chipset unknow (but run okay) driver wl .

After you finish U-install and then the Virtual box, you restore your windows files into the disk space for the Virtual Box session.

[01:46] RottNKorpse, Can i just apt-get install Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [01:46] smw hows goin man ? [01:47] :) [01:47] RottNKorpse: The synaptic package manager underwent major changes between 9.04 and 9.10 and the need "Software Center" does not work right so the only stable version for adding software via synaptic package manager is version 9.04 [01:47] rafi, great [01:47] I've just been digging into bash for the first time... you know, for more than just file/permissions management === ivan_ is now known as ivannnnnnnnn [01:47] oh ok tbotnik [01:47] boing, you need a real package name [01:47] safe i live linux makes me horney :)lol [01:48] Gnea: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop installed nothing new [01:48] apt-get install ccsm [01:48] boing apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [01:48] thanks guys! [01:48] RottNKorpse: Correction: " between 9.04 and 9.10 and the need "Software Center" " => " between 9.04 and 9.10 and the new "Software Center" " [01:48] ccsm is just the nickname [01:49] chrometiger: okay, didn't think so, but had to make sure. I'm guessing you're on another computer? [01:49] ok, guys in my configuration editor my window manager is "e16" what does it need to be ? [01:50] metacity chrometiger [01:50] chrometiger: what 'configuration editor'? [01:50] Gnea: So who cares about "official" support. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Deal with it! [01:51] k going to log out now be back [01:51] Am I missing something? I installed mysql-server on ubuntu but when I try to connect it says access denied for user root@localhost ? [01:51] TBotNik: Hi, this channel *IS* official support. [01:52] TBotNik: and giving out improper support is not a method to use if you wish to stick around. [01:52] ok i think its fixed lol [01:52] chrometiger: nice [01:52] boing ? [01:52] chrometiger: so what did it turn out to be? [01:53] Gnea: I know, so what does that tell you? Someone is asleep since it doesn't work. Can't dismiss things when they do not work, just because you want to. Prime directive is "It must work" Additive "as advertised" when applicable. [01:53] !guidelines | TBotNik [01:53] TBotNik: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [01:53] TBotNik: I highly suggest you read them and ask any questions, if you have any, when done. [01:54] in the Configuration editor my window decorator was set to e16 and since I uninstalled enlighenment it wasn't there so I had no window decorations at all [01:54] Gnea: Yeah and that is why good code get screwed up, when the policy/guidelines are more important than the prime directive. === cartman is now known as Guest7441 [01:55] I have problem runnung cron [01:55] TBotNik: if you don't wish to use Ubuntu, you know where the door is. [01:55] i use "sudo crontab -e" [01:55] and then I add this line: [01:55] */1 * * * * /usr/bin/gedit [01:55] chrometiger: awesome [01:55] RottNKorpse, had to reboot os froze [01:56] app is installed [01:56] Am I missing something? I installed mysql-server on ubuntu but when I try to connect it says access denied for user root@localhost ? [01:56] TBotNik: but if you'd like to take it up with the moderators, I'm sure that can be arranged. [01:56] boing ok [01:56] Gnea: for a second i was getting frustrated and was about to backup everything and reinstall, but I hate doing that [01:56] overtherainbow: how are you trying to connect? [01:56] Gnea: I use it on over 20 boxes, so back off, or you'll get me on my soapbox and there is nothing I hate worse than a %#$%$#@ half baked programming that is more policy driven than solution driven. So enough is enough, I'm not bashing so do not get me started. [01:57] I tried to use unity interface, but when i logged in with it it was visually unusable. should i just use the 2D Edition? [01:57] RottNKorpse, love thos wobbling windows, now for the border if you have tine [01:57] time [01:57] chrometiger: yeah, know what you mean. It's much easier to learn how to fix something the right way than to do everything over. [01:57] jrib, "mysql" "mysql -u root" "mysql -u root -p" [01:57] for the border? [01:57] None of them are anywhere useful. [01:57] hello everyone [01:58] boing border? [01:58] RottNKorpse, for example this frame xchat top border is about 1 inch is that normal [01:58] we are doing cube though right? [01:58] overtherainbow: mysql -u root -p and use the password you set during install [01:58] OH [01:58] I didn't set a password during install. [01:58] e [01:58] Jordan_U: is there a single command that will simplify the two step of $which ls (output:/bin/ls) and $dpkg -S /bin/ls (output: coreutils) to discover the source of a program? [01:58] yes [01:58] I tried to use unity interface, but when i logged in with it it was visually unusable. should i just use the 2D Edition? [01:58] overtherainbow: it should have asked you to set one. You can reset it if you want [01:58] boing you are talking about the panels with the application places system menu? [01:59] that would be nice. How does one go about resetting jrib? [01:59] TBotNik: I really don't care how many boxes you run Ubuntu on, your attitude stinks and it's simply not welcome here, so if you wish to be removed, go ahead and use your soapbox, and if you don't like the code or the policies, stop whining about it, go fix it and submit some patches or talk to the relevant people. This is a support channel, where we provide *current* support. [01:59] overtherainbow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [01:59] I have a problem with my sound system, it seems to be lagging too much, eg, when I quit firefox notification sound comes 2 sec after firefox closes. any idea? [01:59] thanks jrib. [02:00] RottNKorpse, look at your top of the frame or xchat is it about 1 inch or wide,seems to big [02:00] trans, That's normal. It's just the crappy flash performance on linux. [02:00] boing I am in xchat...good guess but you are talking about the window border or the panel [02:00] /etc/apt/sources.list [02:00] How to use crontab? [02:00] boing panel has the menu I mentioned [02:00] RottNKorpse, yes sorry window border [02:00] !cron | farsheed [02:00] farsheed: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [02:01] boing ok then that is suppose to be a bit big [02:01] edbian: it was working fine till yesterday. It started all of a sudden [02:01] boing, Mess with the window border theme in System -> Apperances [02:01] man sources.list [02:01] I tried to use unity interface, but when i logged in with it it was visually unusable. should i just use the 2D Edition? [02:01] boing it also depends on the theme you use [02:01] * Gnea really hates it when that happens... [02:01] I use ambiance [02:01] edbian: speaking of flash.... what player other than adobe will work with 10.04 amd64 and allow me to watch youtube?? [02:01] trans, Oh yeah? Well what did you change that changed it? [02:01] !cookie | Gnea [02:01] Gnea: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [02:01] Rotthkorpse, thought so, do i need to update anything since it is a fresh install [02:01] heh, thanks [02:01] later [02:02] cryptodira, There is an open one called gnash. It works on youtube I know but it doesn't work any better AFAIK. [02:02] edbian: I installed awn, I removed it well, problem started after I installed awn [02:02] cryptodira, What does play flash videos very well is VLC but it doesn't run in the browser. [02:02] anyone tried vmware player with 10.10? [02:02] boing you need to update everything that there is to update [02:02] trans, try this: sudo aptitude purge awn [02:02] trans, aptitude is a smarter package manager. It will remove all the extra packages as well. [02:02] RottNKorpse, hey thanks for you time have a good night [02:03] hello [02:03] edbian: vlc would by my choice.... but i seem to be unable to make it work for you tube.... any pointers would be gratefully accepted :) [02:03] in xchat, how do I open a new "server tab", in mirc its /server -m and you can have two networks open at once [02:03] how to do that in xchat? [02:03] cryptodira you need flash for youtube [02:03] pluhngz, ctrl - t [02:03] or you can use their HTML5 version [02:04] edbian: It found some of the dependencies and removing them [02:04] cryptodira, It doesn't run in the browser. But if you go to a page with a flash video with firefox look in /tmp. The videos are buffered there and VLC can play them. [02:04] pluhngz, or XChat -> New -> Server Tab [02:04] trans, Sounds good. I'm not making any promises though. You didn't like awn? [02:05] brontoeee: got my raid back together [02:05] edbian: I liked it, problem is mine is old machine, don't have too much resources to run it [02:05] trans, ahhh, i see. [02:05] I just bought two 1TB sata 10k rpm hds for $80/pop [02:05] edbian: this would work then, but how do you know what you are getting/dl'ing into the buffer before it is completely there? [02:05] one has win7, other has 10.10 [02:06] pluhngz: where? [02:06] 6 24" monitors, feel like a day trader at my desk lulz [02:06] edbian: I liked awn trunk, but it was given trunk is not available for i386 machines [02:06] Where did you buy them, and why would they come with data? [02:06] cryptodira, Not sure what you are asking? [02:06] blank, i bought em from new egg [02:06] cyphase, Just try it out. It will probably clear up any confusion. vlc is in the repos. [02:06] was a 6 hour sale [02:06] hey i want to upgrade my ubuntu from lucid to maverick, how 2 do itz? [02:06] trans, mhmm [02:06] link [02:06] ? [02:06] trans, Did removing the packages fix your problem? [02:06] I tried to use unity interface, but when i logged in with it it was visually unusable. should i just use the 2D Edition? [02:07] are 10k rpm sata hd's good [02:07] or is there better? for home environment, gaming etc [02:07] i want to upgrade my ubuntu from lucid to maverick, how to do it? [02:07] edbian: sorry for that, well its working fine now [02:07] SC-M, go to System -> Admin -> Software sources. Switch it to normal releases instead of LTS. [02:07] There are better [02:08] But they are more expensive [02:08] SC-M, Then open the update manager. There should be a button. The upgrade will take like 1 hr (and it will probably ask you questions) [02:08] 10k is good though [02:08] trans, Good to here! [02:08] thanks, edbian.. just talk again.. [02:08] @pluhngz, 15k SAS drives are available [02:08] Jbirky, im just glad because democrats got destroyed in the elections [02:08] edbian: thanks for ur help, [02:08] socialism put on the backburner :) [02:08] Me too. i am concervative [02:08] better use KDE, GNOME or XFCE? [02:08] bye everyone, have a good day all [02:08] SC-M, just talk again? [02:08] talk freely.. [02:08] conservative with an S though [02:08] trans, my pleasure [02:09] how do I set the digital clock in the lower right corner of the lxde environment? [02:09] SC-M, I use gnome. [02:09] As far as SATA goes, 10k drives are as fast as you can get; I think [02:09] running debian lenny [02:09] 15k sas only usually in servers [02:09] better gnome huh? [02:09] I-are-, You ask in the Debian channel ;) [02:09] like 2U dell 2950's etc [02:09] I want to try out kde, can I run it log out of gnome and log into kde on ubuntu? [02:09] Raptors ran 15k didn't they? [02:09] jags, yes but you have to install kde first [02:09] jags, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [02:10] edbian, ah yes I had to use the restroom and forgot that I hadn't changed channels, damn turds. [02:10] jags, warning: it is huge. [02:10] after a clean install of 10.10, and sudo apt-get update [02:10] Yes... SAS is usually only in servers [02:10] what are other good commands, to run, like the restricted, and extras etc? [02:10] SC-M, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:10] i forget what theyare, someone recommended in here while back [02:10] jags, you can run both the same time if you want to [02:10] If I have Win7 already installed, and I install Ubuntu into a different partition, could GRUBS easily be set to boot Win7? [02:10] have some repositories? [02:10] I tried to use unity interface, but when i logged in with it it was visually unusable. should i just use the 2D Edition? [02:10] Can you link me to the drives you bought? [02:11] shcherbak, You can run qt and gtk apps at the same time. You can't run KDE and Gnome at the same time. [02:11] While I realize the sale is over, I want to see what drives... I guess they are more expensive though [02:11] onion, if u do paralel install of 10.10 on 1 hd, where 7 already installed [02:11] i pretty much couldn't deal with the unity stuff either. thankfully i stored a disk image of my 10.04 netbook before installing [02:11] each time u boot back/forth in each OS [02:11] Onnionion, Yes and the installer sets it up that way for you. [02:11] I have a SATA SAN at work [02:11] each other does their own scan disk/check disk [02:11] they think each other is corrupting the HD its weird [02:11] edbian: you can on two xservers [02:11] If you could point me at the 1 TB 10k drives, that would be awesome [02:11] can i use apt-get, NOT sudo? i'm using ROOT right now.. [02:11] it seems that the shell that Ubuntu is soon replacing Gnome with (Unity) the experts here are either clueless about it or don't care to respond to "stupid" questions [02:11] @pluhngz, are you there? [02:11] edbian: and xfce on third [02:11] shcherbak, touche' [02:11] Hello, I'm kind of new to linux, and I had a question about installing a game called warzone. The game says to use ./configure --prefix=/opt/warzone2100-trunk , It says to use our distributor as the prefix, but i'm not sure what exactly it wants.. [02:11] This is me vs. Ubuntu [02:12] !list [02:12] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [02:12] 1. Make Sandwitch [02:12] Ubuntu: No [02:12] 2. sudo make Sandwitch [02:12] Hello. [02:12] Ubuntu... Okay [02:12] SC-M, sudo gives you root for 1 command. If you are already root than you don't need to sudo. You shouldn't be root generally though. [02:12] I'm confused, I tried to start 2 x sessions and got a error message using virtual terminals, is a virtual terminal used to switch between them both when they're running simutaneously? [02:12] I'm new here. [02:12] Jbirky: you totally stole that from xkcd [02:12] TJ, Welcome [02:12] Awesome. Also, while in the installer for choosing what partition, what type should it be? I might not be looking enough or right in the Wiki, but can't find the answer ^_^" [02:12] I have a problem with VMWare... When I open it up for the first time it needs to "patch" the kernel, but it can't, an error comes out saying "Unable to build kernel module. See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-32027.log for details." [02:12] link? [02:13] link to 1 TB drives? [02:13] I've really never used XChat before. [02:13] Onnionion, ext3 or ext4. It chooses ext4 by default. [02:13] I'm not used to this type of instant messaging service. [02:13] Someone, please link me to the 1 TB 10K SATA drives [02:13] HaPK_PerCar, Did you see the log? [02:13] It seems very complicated, to be honest. [02:13] how to make a language in ubuntu? [02:13] TJ, It goes fast doesn't it? It's just a busy room is all. [02:13] And boot sector should be set to the whole drive? (all in 1 drive, btw) [02:13] i want to use my own ubuntu [02:13] #@*! it, i'll figure it out myself and risk breaking stuff [02:14] edbian, Yes. [02:14] How do I reply to you, so that the message appears red for you? [02:14] TJ, Do you have a question about Ubuntu? That's the purpose of this channel. [02:14] edbian, I'm on it [02:14] TJ, By saying my name like you just did. [02:14] this used to be a much more helpful channel, i'm very disappointed now [02:14] SC-M, what do u mean? make a language? [02:14] HaPK_PerCar, :) If I remember right you have to install a certain kernel or something. It's a package in the repos. [02:14] they were western digital velociraptor [02:14] 10k rpm sata [02:14] TJ, type part of their name and hit tap to complete, and that makes it appear to them as red [02:14] for $80, 1TB 6hour sale [02:15] edbian, Okay. Thanks. I have a question about Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Msomething [02:15] i want to change my language to my own. [02:15] edbian, so you know which package? or how can I find it?

[02:15] MTBF is such a joke [02:15] I can't find anything bigger than a 300 GB velociraptor! [02:15] mean time between failure [02:15] TJ, We basically assume you're running the newest Ubuntu if you come in here and ask questions. You don't have to specify. What is the question? [02:15] install it from package manager [02:15] robertzaccour, Thanks! that's much quicker. [02:15] Can you link me to it, pluhngz? [02:15] edbian: I am getting the error message 'configure: WARNING: Distributor unknown! [02:15] " when I run this "./configure --prefix=/opt/warzone2100-trunk" I have no idea why (new to linux) can you help? [02:15] MTBF/MTBR [02:15] TJ, yw [02:15] I know it iwill cost more [02:15] HaPK_PerCar, I don't know the name of the package. I'm guessing the log will say it. [02:15] reminds me, gotta check cissp results [02:15] But, they should still have it [02:16] Zaneo, I have no idea. [02:16] TJ, i wish the "experts" here were as helpful as they used to be though [02:16] SC-M, you could select your language at logon [02:16] !ot | pluhngz [02:16] pluhngz: #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! [02:16] edbian, I'm making a paste bin of it [02:16] edbian, I keep on running out of space. Now in this case, I've had to reinstall the entire OS for about a dozen times now. I don't know why it keeps crashing, though. [02:16] does ubottu know anything about unity? [02:16] edbian, this is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/527357/ [02:17] Zaneo, You're installing a program from source. I don't have any experience with that program. The people who wrote it are likely the only ones that can tell you what that error means. [02:17] oops [02:17] also language support.] [02:17] !unity [02:17] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [02:17] is it normal for unity to not be visually usable? [02:17] meant 300gb, [02:17] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136322 [02:17] would it be much different to just use the 2D edition? [02:17] robertzaccour, unity? What do you mean? [02:17] those hd's are so good [02:17] TJ, How do you know you're running out of space? What makes it crash. What is crashing? [02:17] HaPK_PerCar, hang on, reading [02:17] TJ, Unity interface, the one thats replacing Gnome by default in 11.04 [02:17] have some repositories? [02:18] edbian, Usually whenever I update, it crashes, usually it doesn't even boot up. [02:18] 11.04 already? [02:18] it just seems the simpler the question, the less likely people will bother to reply thats all [02:18] trojan spike [02:18] they only wanna help with "complicated" stuff almost all end users care nothing about [02:18] HaPK_PerCar, Something is wrong with the compiling? It can't compile some module. My only guess is to install the package that has that module. [02:18] you still drive around town with backtrack linux, and laptop, using metasploit [02:18] robertzaccour, Unity isnt a desktop environment, it isnt replacing Gnome [02:18] on people who have unsecure wifi routers? [02:18] edbian, Can I add you as a friend? Would it make messaging to you easier for both of us? [02:18] :) [02:18] what is apt-get install dist-upgrade? [02:18] edbian, I'll look into it [02:18] TJ, You can add me as a friend. (I don't really know what that means). [02:19] c0nv1ct, oh, perhaps I was misinformed [02:19] TJ, Are you running on very old HW? [02:19] HaPK_PerCar, good luck [02:19] TJ, I am not having a problem messanging you fyi [02:19] #@*! it, i'll figure it out myself and risk breaking stuff [02:19] SC-M, command to update to the latest release of Ubuntu [02:19] !ping [02:19] pong [02:19] robertzaccour, That's the best way to learn [02:19] edbian, thats not correct [02:20] edbian: Thank YOU for the pointers.... I think I can manage from here. :) [02:20] !dist-upgrade | edbian [02:20] edbian: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [02:20] bazhang, What is? [02:20] cryptodira, good luck [02:20] hello [02:20] edbian, the best way to learn is to have a helpful channel, this channel used to be just that [02:20] bazhang, sorry! Thank you [02:20] jrib, I seem to have failed. I went through the entire wiki page but the problem persists =\ [02:20] even after purging. [02:20] robertzaccour, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. [02:20] ED, Do you receive this message? [02:20] SC-M, See what ubottu said to me? [02:20] edbian, i have only one computer, i ain't a rich guy [02:20] TJ, I do. [02:21] ED, I added you as ED. [02:21] TJ, But please call my edbian (that's my nick for a reason) [02:21] robertzaccour, offtopic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please [02:21] Nope edbian [02:21] SC-M: apt-get install dist-upgrade is not a valid command. [02:21] TJ, When you call me ED it does not highlight for me. [02:21] ED, I just wanted to make the name shorter for me to type. [02:21] Oh. [02:21] bazhang, not offtopic [02:21] SC-M, Talk to IdleOne he will clear it up for you. [02:21] Darn [02:21] ovvv.. [02:21] TJ, Yeah it didn't work. [02:21] SC-M: the command would be: sudo apt-get -dist-upgrade [02:21] edbian, Okay. Anyways... [02:21] robertzaccour, complaining about channel and such is certainly offtopic. Please take it there. [02:22] SC-M: the command would be: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:22] TJ, Thanks. Are you running on old hardware? [02:22] root@sc-m~# apt-get dist-upgrade [02:22] Hey all. I had a 2 screen setup and just added a second nVidia card to my system so I can have 3 monitors connected, but the 3rd monitor wasn't allowed on the first "x screen" (twinview). Now my first two screens act just like one screen but with a splitter (so a maximized window will span two monitors) and the third monitor has its own header/base toolbar (as if it was a separate login). [02:22] i'm using root [02:22] lol [02:22] hehehe === Toni is now known as anton [02:23] edbian, I don't think so. And whenever my computer updates its kernel thing, there is a risk of it not being able to boot. [02:23] bazhang, complaining about simple questions being ignored and only "complicated" stuff being of importance for help is sad and reflects on the community as a whole. good day [02:23] SC-M: ok well that isn't supported in Ubuntu and seeing how you don't know the basic commands to do a dist-upgrade, not a good idea to be running as root [02:23] edbian, What should I use to give you the specs of my computer? [02:23] So basically, I want my three monitors to simply act like 3 monitors, not 2 logins with 1 screen split between two monitors. [02:23] TJ, You are having all sorts of problem. Processor, RAM, free space on HDD. [02:23] edbian, why it's not a good idea to use root? [02:23] Any ideas? [02:24] !sudo | SC-M [02:24] SC-M: 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 [02:24] SC-M, It's ok to use it for what you have to. It is improper to be root all the time because it makes it easier for people to attack you (installing malicious software and such). [02:24] IdleOne: but if i need to upgrade (without stupid pass) i must use the root huh? just auth and boom.. downloading.. [02:24] SC-M, That's fine. [02:25] SC-M, It's being root for things that you don't have to that are a problem. Like running firefox [02:25] hi. Did anyone have any luck with Octoshape plugin? I can't play any stream, even the ones listed on octoshape's page. I get this error: Info : You cannot get this stream now. You may try again later. (401). [02:25] edbian, Um... [02:25] SC-M: I understand your point. My point is you needed to ask us how to do a dist-upgrade. running as root can be very dangerous if you make a little typo in your command and break your system. [02:25] TJ, do you not know ur processor or ram specs? :) [02:26] SC-M, basically when you do anything that affect other users on the system or acts that risk security, you need root [02:26] owff... that's the problem right? in root we can do anything to system.. even uninstall it.... [02:26] TJ, Go to system Monitor (somewhere in applications). There you can find both. [02:26] SC-M, correct [02:26] SC-M, basically yeah [02:26] edbian, Intel Core 2 Duo U9600 CPU with 3GB DDR3 physical memorry [02:26] set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realml [02:26] set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comset realml [02:26] TJ, oh wow. No no, you should be fine. [02:27] TJ, Ignore CGUser799 It's a spam program. [02:27] edbian, Okay. [02:27] TJ, Stuff like that is annoying and sadly common on popular channels like this one. [02:27] edbian, How do I ignore users? [02:27] TJ, Describe some more of the problem to me please. [02:27] TJ, I don't know how to ignore users. I might you literally should just not read what it wrote. [02:27] TJ: /ignore in most IRC clients. [02:28] MagusOTB, Thanks! === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [02:28] i have a security problem, after i using an operator of my servers user, the administrator user in my server is lost, is root will be "problem checker?" [02:28] edbian, Okay. So do you think I should reinstall Ubuntu using the Wubi thing or manually repartition my SSD drive? [02:29] hey guys, how's it going tonight? [02:29] It's going [02:29] It's going to the left, relatively slowly [02:29] TJ, You have a solid state drive? Awesome. I think you should install proper. Did you use wubi for the install we're talking about? [02:30] SC-M, root is the user with the highest privilege [02:30] *ultimate privilege [02:30] so I have a gigabit ethernet setup that I'm trying to get going pretty fast, and it's being a whiny little bitch and topping out around 30-50 MB/s... Most of the time I get speeds I would expect from 100 mbps connections [02:30] edbian, I have a Wubi installation currently on my computer, yes. What do you mean by "install proper"? [02:30] !language | bribroder [02:30] bribroder: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:31] icarus-c: "ultimate privalidge" makes administering unix systems seem badass. [02:31] I have jumbo frames set to 9014 bytes on each adapter [02:31] then i cannot change from (ex. admin@channel.com~$ to admin@channel.com~#) ? only root@channel.com~# ? [02:31] bribroder: are you sure the ethernet is the bottleneck? most hard disks won't go much faster than that. [02:31] WUBI isnt a full installation [02:31] SC-M, that is something else.. [02:31] TJ, alright well that explains the weird issues on such a nice computer. Wubi is sort of a hack. A very clever one but still a hack. Sometimes it behaves weirdly. I think you should boot the live CD you have and run the installer. You can partition your HDD and have a "normal" Ubuntu install. These generally are much more stable. [02:31] how do i disable/enable a wireless adapter, such as wlan0? [02:32] TJ, You run the small risk of erasing you entire windows install (but only if you tell the installer to do that on accident). [02:32] SC-M, eh wait, are you speaking of email users or like when you ssh [02:32] SC-M: Yeah, AFAIK there's no way to change the name of root. Evern if you could, it'd be more a vanity thing, there's no real reason to [02:32] icarus-c: it's only example of terminal [02:32] edbian, Oh! No wonder! I've been trying to compile ChromiumOS and it keeps failing too. I now understand. =] [02:32] SC-M, If you change the name of root you might lose track of who root is [02:32] SC-M, note that the terminal prompt message is adjustable :P [02:32] TJ, hardcore. Chromium OS is bleeding edge [02:32] magus, they're sata II drives, they should be able to do 300 MB/s [02:32] how do i disable/enable a wireless adapter, such as wlan0? [02:33] icarus-c: but the access cannot be adjust... [02:33] sympt0m, sudo ifconfig down wlan0 [02:33] sympt0m, sudo ifconfig up wlan0 [02:33] edbian, thanks [02:33] sympt0m, sure [02:33] edbian, It's hard for me to stay on top of it. Instead, I will soon be "cutting the edge". lol [02:33] bribroder: just cause the bus speed is that fast doesn't mean they actually go fast. [02:33] SC-M, root is root. if you want adjustable admin privs, use sudo. that's what it's designed for. [02:34] TJ, ha, good luck [02:34] Madpilot: Exactly. the root is only for emergency status. [02:34] eh... [02:34] you know, sudo let you run command as root [02:35] SC-M, hardly even then, really. [02:35] how is hard disk speed derived? [02:35] edbian, I may need all of it I can possibly get. My future plans are to compete with Google, Inc. as well as integrate a brand new computational knowledge engine. [02:35] How do i install my NVIDIA driver i downloaded from NVIDIA. I went to command line, stopped GDM installed it, then restarted GDM but when i restart my computer it errors out and i cannot get GDM to start at all [02:35] edbian, But first, I need to learn about Linux. [02:35] Is Linux(debian-based) doesnt have Linux? === andi is now known as Guest28459 [02:35] TJ, ambitious. [02:35] belorix, System -> Administration -> Hardware driver [02:35] TJ, There is A LOT to learn. [02:35] belorix, installing driver from nvidia.com often break stuff [02:35] SC-M, wut? Linux, strictly speaking, is the kernel - the bit that everything else runs on. [02:35] . [02:36] edbian, Then I'm off into making a new language. Yes... A lot to learn... But if I get the basics, I can simply make the rest up as I go along. [02:36] bribroder: it's part of the spec of the drives. Modern SSDs are around 200-300Mb (small b)/sec, so unles syou have some insane raid setup, expecting much more than 40MBps is unreasonable. [02:36] TJ, A new programming language? [02:36] edbian, Yes. [02:36] does ubuntu never got a virus? [02:36] i just installed ubuntu 10-04 but i have some issues with the second monitor it's flickering (waves scrolling don the screen) grapic card is ati x1400 [02:36] icarus-c: i installed from the nvidia site several times in 10.04 with no issues [02:36] malware? spyware? [02:36] TJ, interesting. drop a link when you roll it out. [02:36] TJ: Making languages up as you go along tends to lead to things like C++... [02:37] a few SC-M but not many ,, because of repo checked [02:37] MagusOTB, an insane raid setup being a raid 0 stripe? [02:37] OY1R: are you using the fglrx driver? [02:37] SC-M, There are 0 known malware programs for linux in the wild. There are many proof of concept viruses. [02:37] SC-M, not really. Linux is much, much more secure by default. [02:37] edbian, Any programming language currently available are flawed in that they are all limited in input. [02:37] SC-M: all OS's can get virus's but ubuntu has a huge base od developers that patch holes faster them other OS's such as windows, so yes you could, but the likely hood of actually gettgin one is slim to none [02:37] SC-M, It is a touchy subject that often starts an argument. [02:37] bribroder: insane as in more than 3-4 SSDs or 6ish HDDs striped. [02:37] MagusOTB, i use what Ubuntu comes with, i have not changed anything [02:38] OY1R: try enabling the fglrx driver in system-> administration -> restricted drivers [02:38] TJ, This off topic. Will you elaborate in private chat with me? [02:38] OY1R: you might have to reboot a couple times after enabling it. [02:38] I want to asking 'bout the Login Screen in ubuntu, how i can change it? is ubuntu 10.04 using GDM? [02:38] edbian, Sure. === Pilif12p_ is now known as Pilif12p [02:38] MagusOTB, I do in fact have several raid 5 setups, but it's for redundancy, not performance [02:38] SC-M yeah, ubuntu uses GDM [02:38] But i hear from someone ubuntu karmic isn't use GDM [02:38] SC-M: system >admin > login [02:38] anymore. [02:39] MagusOTB, i tried changing the Hz and the res but it didnt change. [02:39] Here's my question: How i can change the background of ubuntu lucid? [02:39] SC-M, Karmic was 9.10; it used GDM too [02:39] SC-M: right click desktop change wallpaper [02:39] SC-M, System -> Preferences -> Appearance [02:39] MagusOTB, thanks for the info. I'll look into drives that might actually fill out the SATA 2 connection [02:39] bribroder: throughput into and out of a raid setup is a complicated function of your raid controller, drive speed and number of drives. Unless you have something pretty out of the ordinary, getting 50MB/s is pretty reasonable [02:40] MagusOTB, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [02:40] hey guys, i just "fdisk -l"'d my system and i saw this: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. [02:40] from GNOME-LOOK I find some GDM themes, how to use in on ubuntu system? [02:40] OY1R: does it give you the option to use them? [02:40] should i worry [02:40] MagusOTB, I wish it were always 50 MB/s, I usually get something more like 10-20 [02:40] MagusOTB, No the list is empty [02:40] SC-M, http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ubuntu+gdm+log+in+screen+change&aq=f [02:40] bribroder: that's pretty low. I highly doubt the bottleneck is ethernet though. [02:40] DimaV, no. but you should get optimal performance when partitions end on cylinder boundary [02:40] MagusOTB, and "Enable" is grayed out [02:41] OY1R: and you have an ATI card? [02:41] icarus-c: can i fix it somehow [02:41] it's an ati x1400 [02:41] DimaV, repartition it [02:41] icarus-c: this is betwween the boot and rest of system [02:41] MagusOTB, no it sounds like not. just wanted to make sure because it seems to have gotten slow around the same time I added the gigabit net [02:41] DimaV, personally i wouldn't border [02:41] bother [02:41] MagusOTB, do you know whether processor speed influences transfer rates? [02:42] bribroder: Unless said processor is REALLY slow or is doing data manipulation of some sort, I doubt it. [02:42] icarus-c: this happened on a fresh install, btw [02:42] can i change the bootscreen of ubuntu lucid? [02:42] SC-M, yes [02:42] running 10 recordings on tv tuners? :) [02:43] yes [02:43] I am running 10.10 32 bit, the nm-applet will not run on startup, I have attempted to dissable/re enable, as well kill the process and start again, I can see it trying to show up, however it will not. The only way to get it to show is to do alt-f2 then gksu nm-applet... help please [02:43] bribroder: ouch, maybe. run top on that system, if the CPU is constantly maxed out, that'll explain the slowness. === Waligali is now known as TErudit [02:43] MagusOTB, screenshot > http://imagebin.ca/view/H07-3d8.html [02:44] OY1R: huh... that's odd. You might have to add multiverse to your package sources.. I forget where the thing that lets you change package sources is, but I'm sure somebody in here would know [02:44] so I guess I'm curious what the limiting factor for the CPU is on transfer speed? [02:44] SC-M, search for ubuntu change plymouth theme === Monomium is now known as Guest21345 === Waligali is now known as TErudit [02:45] bribroder: It's most likely not, but I'm not really a networking guru, so I don't know. [02:45] MagusOTB, although I think you're right and that the hard drives are the limiting factor for me [02:45] in fact i've checked before and the cpu is not maxed out when the transfers are crawling === Guest21345 is now known as [mono] [02:46] bribroder: It's probably not the CPU then. I'd just suggest changing things out and eliminating steps until it goes faster. Also, what file transfer protocol are you using? FTP is abysmally slow if you're doing anything but a small number of huge files. [02:47] MagusOTB, this are all samba transfers from windows systems [02:47] *these [02:47] how to update repositories from Terminal? [02:48] SC-M: sudo apt-get update [02:48] MagusOTB, and I'm doing a large number of huge files [02:48] SC-M: or do you mean change them? [02:48] MagusOTB, like a terabyte in 12 hours if possible [02:48] MagusOTB: I mean, i have got new repo (ex: ppa:ppa/ppa) how to add it to software sources but via terminal? [02:49] SC-M:sudo /etc/apt/sources.list [02:49] <_MAD_Diplomat> how do you ubuntu to a domain Controller ? [02:50] SC-M: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas read this it'll explain more [02:50] MagusOTB, use nano for basic text editing if you're in a pure terminal, gedit if you're still in the GUI but using the terminal [02:51] Hi all. Since I upgraded to Meerkat, my wireless has been spotty. Precisely, after I boot into Ubuntu, my wireless connects and works for some amount of time (sometimes 3 min, sometimes 3 hrs), then it stops working (but without telling me it disconnected). If I manually disconnect and try to reconnect, it keeps me waiting forever, as do all other wireless networks. The only way to reconnect is to reboot; then the problem repeats. This ne [02:51] MagusOTB, thanks for your help :) [02:51] whats the command for a panel? [02:51] Madpilot: i know, I put that there assuming that he would substitute his favorite. Personally, I use vim, but it's not particularly user friendly [02:52] MagusOTB, sorry, meant to address that to SC-M. [02:52] trojan_spike: gnome-panel [02:53] bribroder: 1TB in 12 hours is only 23 MB/sec. I don't think spending a long time trying to get the file transfers going a little bit faster isn't going to be an advantage over just letting them go slow and getting some tea and watching a movie while they go. [02:53] cheers,, it kinda disappeared on me there [02:53] s/isn't/is [02:53] hey, is there any way to change GNOME (like ubuntu now) to GNOME.Shell? [02:54] MagusOTB, seems like multiverse is enabled by default, running the update tool atm see what that does. [02:54] the unity/netbook interface doesn't seem to cooperate with ati for some reason [02:54] SC-M: install gnome shell [02:54] robin0800: how 2 do it? [02:54] OY1R: I think it might have been changed to partners. I'm not sure why it wouldn't give you the option to turn on the fglrx driver in that screen. Unless there's somethign special about the X series. [02:54] any1 used gnome3 yet? [02:55] which there might be. [02:55] trojan_spike: Nope. I just switched to xmonad. [02:55] i have installed gnome-shell in my ubuntu, but how to change the Window Manager from GNOME-WM to gnome-shell? [02:56] MagusOTB, i will check after the update i have about 140mb to dl and update. perhaps it will sort it self, knock on wood. [02:56] SC-M: There's an option to select your WM when you login. It's on the bar on the bottom of GDM after you click your username but before you enter your password [02:56] I have check it but it's only Failsafe GNOME, GNOME, and xterm [02:56] no GNOME-Shell [02:57] * SC-M is an asker of ubuntu systems. [02:57] * SC-M hehe [02:58] SC-M: I'm not sure then. Every WM I've tried has shown up there. [02:58] ok, i've cleaned my system up and im wondering what is the easiest way i can make a complete copy "backup" of my entire system, so i can reinstall it one day or even on another computer [02:59] simple back-up and restore [02:59] i have kubuntu, how to install it on UNetBootin [02:59] chrometiger: rsync -a is always an option, but I'm sure there's better ones. [03:00] anyone who knows how ubuntu support .asp [03:00] dcyber09: you mean .asp as in the .net scripting language? [03:01] MagusOTB: i do mean files, users, everything im looking for the easiest [03:01] Sup everyone? [03:01] hmm not sure how to explain it, but when we enter our web we can write .asp ie: index.asp [03:01] sc-m, do you mean how to install it on a usb stick? [03:01] simpleblue: Got it! [03:02] simpleblue: how 2 do it? [03:02] chrometiger: Uhhh... there's programs that can just take an image of an entire drive. I used one a long time ago, I forget what it's called.... [03:02] chrometiger: dd [03:02] hey, I'm in the installation of Ubuntu 10.10 right now and I'm stuck at the "Who Are You?" screen. It says "Ready when you are" and there's nothing to click. What do? [03:02] hmm asp [03:02] i think there should be a program to install it right on kubuntu. i'll try to find the name of it... [03:02] doesnt tomcat use asp? [03:02] Onnionion: have tried using enter? [03:02] well what packages which asp [03:03] it's fun huh asking and answering 'bout ubuntu [03:03] Pressing enter on keyboard? yes, nothing happens but adds a line in the command window at the bottom === Baram is now known as Joe__ [03:03] chrometiger, clonezilla === Joe__ is now known as Kunin [03:04] command window? [03:04] i think it's called 'usb startup disk'? try opening your menu and searching 'usb' and it should come up if its installed [03:04] dcyber09: I think mono can do ASP, but I have no idea what package and configs would make your HTTPD use it. [03:04] 10.04, sound just suddenly stopped working, I've fixed before but forgot how... [03:04] Onnionion, try the print. screen button and if it works, upload a picture of ur screen... if not, send a picture form your mobile... coz i dont really know in what screen are you at [03:04] best way to install wine [03:04] on ub 10.10 is sudo apt-get install wine [03:04] Onnionion: Command window? [03:04] ? [03:04] Need help setting up USB webcam (PixArt). Video works out of the box, but no audio. No entries in /dev/audio*, but cat /proc/asound/cards shows my camera device at index 2.

[03:05] Oh, sorry [03:05] at least any usable video, the desktop or any windows are so dark they will only show on a crt.. [03:05] and even so only like shadows [03:06] sc-m, i think it's called 'usb creator' and it should be installed by default if i'm correct [03:06] Kunin: sacrifice a small animal to the gods of pulseaudio? [03:06] q [03:06] Kunin: srsly though, just make sure channels are unmuted in alsamixer, beyond that, I don't know. Pulse doesn't make any sense to me. [03:06] wtf [03:06] 282 megs?

[03:26] Vesuivius, if you're going to be compiling stuff that does not provide documentation about its dependancies then i recommend apt-file for helping you to search the repo for packages that provide X file. [03:26] Helllllo all [03:26] Vesuivius, this recommendation is actually outlined in the easy-compiling-howto on the ubuntu wiki/help site [03:27] Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. I've just noticed that my volume settings are the same across user accounts. that is, if I set my volume to the highest level as one user, and then switch users, this setting is the same for all other users. is this avoidable?

[03:29] real question prong [03:29] urssi, your browser or dns server may return any number of things when you try to visit a nonexistent domain [03:30] i was thinking about getting a new wireless adapter and was wondering if there are restrictions on which ones will work with ubuntu [03:30] If I have three hard drives can it support expedited install speed? === mike is now known as Guest72468 [03:30] yagoo: i ran gstreamer-properties ..now i see an option to select alsa.. should i select it for both input and output ? [03:30] wtf [03:30] urssi, comcast has a helper which sends you to their search pages for non-exisstant domains. You can opt out, theoretically [03:30] urssi, comcast users do not see akamai in particular though, no [03:30] on raid? [03:30] R1cochet, there is a list of supported chipsets.

[03:32] lexein, yes your best bet is too make use of DBUS. [03:32] airtonix: yes, it calculates to about 6 kb/sec [03:33] is almost equivalent to 512MB a day [03:33] should i reboot if i changed my sound input from Pulseaduio to alsa for changes ? [03:33] Angel-SL, and i think you can only specify certain denominations of speeds ? [03:33] but I don't want to limit it to actual 6kb/day [03:33] is a pci/pcie card any better than a usb adapter? [03:33] \: [03:33] jhon_d0e, no need [03:33] R1cochet, It's much easier to configure in Ubuntu. It makes you look less like a noob. [03:33] has anyone had any issues using the compiz wallpapers plugin on 10.10? [03:33] urssi, yup [03:33] R1cochet, technically more throughput, but as far as the speed limitations of any wifi card today the bandwidth of usb and pci far exceed the bandwidth of the wifi connection [03:34] trojan_spike: i cant see much changes here .. [03:34] lexein: read /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/ and your question will be answered, however I am going to bed.

[03:52] prong: if everyone is speaking different languages in one place, it becomes far too confusing [03:52] its a roll back [03:53] TJ, in bios you can disable freq stepping that sometimes put's the cpu in the lowest possible speed [03:53] Gnea: Please work with me here... [03:53] avo: dd is probably the easiest way. dd if=/dev/sdaX of=/path/to/file [03:53] avo, you should have really split your filesystem across partitions before you installed. [03:53] TJ: of course, you asked a rather vague question, so a vague response was appropriate. [03:53] OY1R: Is there a way of manipulating the Ubuntu OS itself, and not the computer hardware? [03:53] TJ: seriously, turning off a laptop will conserve the battery the most [03:53] Some_Person, I can do that whilest my system is running? [03:53] Gnea: Thank you for your answer. [03:53] airtonix, What do you mean? [03:54] TJ: but you could always suspend/hibernate the system [03:54] OY1R: when I do that, it sticks at the highest [03:54] avo: Good question. I haven't tried, but I would guess that it probably wouldn't be a good idea. You could always boot to a live CD and do it [03:54] Gnea: I mean, .... tweaks to conserve battery power while in use. [03:54] avo, i typically mount the /home directory on its own partition... wichi means any future clean installs i simply specify in the installer that it should use the home folder already at that partition [03:54] MagusOTB, it does the opposite here [03:55] TJ: best way I've found is leaving the screen on minimum brightness all the time. It'll go miles further than any application tweaking [03:55] airtonix, avo: you can do that without making a separate partition [03:55] avo, but it's something you need to prepare for before installing [03:55] hi all [03:55] airtonix, avo: for two years now, the installer has been able to be pointed at the old / partition and told not to format so that /home's contents is saved [03:55] TJ: oh, okay. I suggest running the least amount of processes possible. for instance, if I run too many tabs, it causes the cpufan to spin faster. this draws more power than if it was hardly spinning or not at all. it also causes the hard drive to spin more, which also draws power. [03:55] airtonix, avo: That won't save all apps [03:55] Some_Person, why would i want it to ? [03:55] airtonix, Ah I see. But what of /var/www? and other such folders. [03:56] Some_Person, i only care about the files i create. [03:56] MagusOTB, The brightness can only go down so far. The underlying system must have redundant processes that I can turn off. [03:56] avo, on my webservers i mount /var on a very large partition too [03:56] airtonix: avo said he wants to be able to " flip a switch and fully revert back the the exact way my system is now" [03:56] Some_Person, airtonix, maco, remember my goal here is a full disaster-proof backup. Think a full backup using Apple's Time Machine [03:56] TJ: brightness doesn't affect battery power nearly as much as cpu-intensive processes are [03:56] Gnea: I use an SSD. [03:56] TJ: oh, even better [03:56] avo: oh. then use rsync and cron [03:56] avo, you're not going to get that without alot of effort [03:56] airtonix, Well going forward that is certainly something to consider. [03:56] avo: Which is why I suggested imaging your partition [03:57] airtonix, Really? I only intend to do this once [03:57] Gnea: My multitouch screen might be using some power... How can I turn that off on Ubuntu? [03:57] avo, unless of course you simply use clonezilla [03:57] Some_Person, airtonix, maco, Or perhaps I am wasting my time. Do I _actually_ need to do this? It's just an upgrade from Lucid to Maverick. [03:57] maco, and no i never trust the upgrade ... *never* [03:57] avo: Well, my update screwed things up to be honest [03:57] Has anyone actually compiled Chromium OS? [03:57] my usb drive went read only, how can i fix it? [03:58] airtonix, What's that? [03:58] i can only think of 1 release where i had a broken upgrade, and that was my fault [03:58] !clone | avo [03:58] avo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:58] woops [03:58] (was also 4 years ago) [03:58] Hmm... [03:58] maco, So you don't see a reason for my thinking that my computer will blow up if I upgrade? [03:58] ok... I have sound back, but my headphones won't work... ubuntu sees them, but sound wont' go to them. Also, the GUI Sound Preferences won't come up either [03:58] avo: Since I upgraded to Maverick, I have had a lot of random crashing (though, granted, I am not running a server. I'm using a laptop with GNOME and everything). [03:59] maco, Rather, that there is good cause for doing it. [03:59] avo, clonezilla is the opensource alternative to nortons ghost [03:59] airtonix, Oh I used that recently. It worked excellently. [03:59] avo, if you upgrade you wont't be able to rollback [03:59] airtonix, Unless I use clonezilla? [03:59] (at least i dont think you can) [03:59] how can i set my ubuntu to log all connection attempts? [03:59] avo: i always have a backup of my /home because well having backups is good. for the rest of the disk... "dpkg --get-selections > installed_packages.list" will make it easy to reinstall everything in the event of EEK [03:59] avo: If the server really is mission critical and you are able to image your drive, then by all means do it [04:00] avo, well yes creating a snapshot of a device or partition gives you that final garuntee [04:00] chalcedony: i thought they were in auth.log [04:00] Some_Person, If you could have gone back in time, would you have updated? [04:00] airtonix: I'm pretty sure you can't. The system would probably let you try, but I'd end up in a hilariously broken state. [04:00] MagusOTB, thought so. [04:00] TJ: anyway, good luck with that, I have to bolt === wzk is now known as wzkOFF [04:00] avo: so id say backup the stuff that didnt come from a package manager (because you should *always* have a backup anyway) and then just take a dump of what the package manager installed [04:00] Gnea: Bye. [04:00] avo: I was forced to clean install, which I would have done anyway if I had not upgraded. I wouldn't have stuck with lucid if that is what you're asking. [04:00] resno, how do you find that? [04:01] Some_Person, Server isn't "mission critical", it's just the contents of /var/www. [04:01] chalcedony: is this a server or desktop? [04:01] cd auth.log [04:01] bash: cd: auth.log: No such file or directory [04:01] avo, if you are thinking about moving to maverick you need to ask yourself do you need it for vanity or practical requirements for the webserver (also remember the mantra about early adpoters ) [04:01] ha, got it [04:01] i keep my server on LTS releases only [04:02] ssss [04:02] resno, let's try desktop please? [04:02] airtonix, And that's the very reason I'm keeping myself back. I just thought that as someone who is actively using quickly and stuff to develop applications for Ubuntu (as a fledgling developer) that I would benefit from using the latest-and-greatest. [04:02] chalcedony: /var/log/auth.log... [04:02] avo: It's all up to you. You can upgrade, and most likely things will be fine, but if you really want to be safe, you can do a backup. [04:02] airtonix, vanity sake.. I already use the font and themes :) [04:02] Does anyone here use a tablet? [04:02] avo, for that i recommend simply using virtualbox to run the bleedingedge [04:03] avo: You're probably not running X or anything, so I think your upgrade is far less likely to fail [04:03] 没有中文的？？？ [04:03] avo: as an ubuntu developer, i go with running LTS on my server and unstable on my laptop [04:03] !cn | zjf [04:03] zjf: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:03] Some_Person, X? Aren't I using X server..? [04:03] hello... i am having issue with upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 [04:03] resno, how do i find what writes to them? [04:03] update manager wont tell me to upgrade distro [04:03] avo: Is your server running a GUI? [04:03] airtonix, Right. I use virtualbox a lot. [04:03] it just say no updates now [04:03] sorry [04:03] TheChuckster, Hello. [04:03] avo: you have X on your server? [04:03] what should i do [04:03] TheChuckster, I'll help you out. [04:04] Some_Person, Oh no. It's just a personal apache server and ssh and samba and some other things [04:04] thank you TJ [04:04] you are very helpful [04:04] TheChuckster: go to Software Sources and tell it to show non-LTS releases too [04:04] 谢拉 [04:04] zjf: #ubuntu-cn [04:04] now back to my issue lol, i always come here looking for help, and end up helping someone else [04:04] how does that work?! [04:04] TheChuckster, Let's privately chat. [04:04] ah that was an easy fix :) [04:04] maco, Sadly, I don't have a ubuntu laptop (yet). What do you use/can you recommend one? [04:04] i got it [04:05] !beer [04:05] avo: i buy from zareason.com because A) yay customer service and B) they offer kubuntu and xubuntu not just ubuntu [04:05] can anyone save me some searching, directions on making a live cd -> usb drive are located... [04:05] avo: (they have ubuntu too of course) [04:05] avo: C) Great warranty [04:05] Any advice on how to update a server running intrepid? Re-installing from scratch isn't a very attractive option. [04:05] maco, Ah. I have had bad experiences with small companies like that in the past. [04:06] !EOL | mothas [04:06] mothas: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:06] avo: The main thing that has screwed things up in maverick upgrades is X because maverick has a new version with brand new video drivers. But on your server, since you're not running X, that isn't going to be an issue [04:06] Jordan_U: oh yes [04:06] mothas: no admin->update manager on the server flavor? [04:06] avo: i bought from them in 2008 and again this july === eureka_ is now known as nitneiht [04:06] Not really sure - it's a very minimal install. Headless, no X. [04:07] Some_Person, I don't know if this is relevant, but I am actually using the week-old version of ATI Catalyst (the same that ships with Maverick). I went out of my way to grab and install it. [04:07] what does ubuntu server use for dns resolution? [04:07] nevermind i foudn the issue [04:07] Some_Person, Realistically speaking, I don't see myself benefiting from Maverick other than perhaps the sound indicator thing and the ubuntu software center [04:07] avo: So you are running X [04:08] Some_Person, I don't exactly know what X is. [04:08] AAA [04:08] Some_Person, I thought all Ubuntu's ran Xserver. [04:08] mothas: try sudo aptitude update or sudo aptitude upgrade, depending on what you're looking to do [04:08] avo: X is the software at the very base of the GUI. Without it, you get a command line interface (which is standard practice for servers). [04:09] Alinon tried the update and it 404's because the repositories aren't there anymore. [04:09] avo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System [04:09] avo: And no, Ubuntu Server Edition does not have X [04:09] Some_Person, OOOOH. [04:09] im trying to image a hard drive, but want the entire drive including empty areas, what is the best app to do this [04:09] mothas: sudo apt-get update not working either? [04:09] WHAT? [04:09] Alinon nope [04:09] Some_Person, I know exactly what that is. This is Ubuntu Desktop.. This is my primary/only desktop that I use for school, programming, etc. [04:09] snarkster: dd [04:09] SPUTNIK! HI! [04:09] Some_Person, The server aspect I just happened to have sudo aptitude'd. [04:10] avo: Ah, I see. I was thinking that you were running a dedicated server [04:10] mothas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine [04:10] Some_Person, Yeah I was wondering why you were asking about X :) [04:10] Sputnik: How are you, up there in space? Are you still broadcasting those old radio signals? XD [04:10] zakwilson: when i use dd i just end up with 210 mb img not the entire 160gb [04:10] mothas: that should get you headed in the right direction [04:11] hello [04:11] avo: So you actually installed the latest version of the ATI video drivers on lucid? Where did you get that package? [04:11] Where am I? [04:11] Alinon & Jordan_U: thanks [04:11] zqq: You are on planet Earth. [04:11] snarkster: that is not the expected result. [04:11] mothas: You're welcome. [04:11] Some_Person, I did indeed. And I am actually extremely impressed with ATI; they have put out new linux-only drivers almost monthly, and they outline quite clearly the specific linux bugs they've fixed. [04:11] how do I install Wayland? [04:11] Yes,MAYBE [04:12] mothas: my pleasure [04:12] Some_Person, One update ruined XUL based apps; a week later there was a fix. [04:12] zakwilson: no i wanted the entire drive... ala ghost it [04:12] no who here plays anarchy online in Wine? and how can I fix my transparent windows issue? hehe [04:12] Some_Person, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English [04:12] snarkster: I know. dd should have that result. If it didn't, something's wrong. [04:12] Some_Person, But ati.amd.com and following the combo boxes gets you to the more appropriate location. [04:12] alinon: used to play [04:13] Alinon: but its been awhile [04:13] zakwilson: Do you get an error from dd? [04:13] Jordan_U: I am not the one who is trying to use dd. snarkster is. [04:13] Some_Person, it's remarkable how old the ones in the lucid repos were... compiz was almost unusable for me. It works PERFECTLY now; save the inability to properly resume from suspend (system slows down to a literal crawl( [04:14] snarkster: Do you get an error from dd? [04:14] i'm still new to Ubuntu and was woundering if i have to have a 2 Gig usb drive for the usb install or could i use a 1 Gig? [04:14] Jordan_U: its me that is using dd.. i want to image an entire drive including the empty spots. when i do it i get 210 mb instead of 160 gb [04:14] snarkster: oh yeh? hrm it's driving me nuts, it plays so good it's like a native linux game, but the trasparent windows are driving me nuts [04:14] solster 2 gb [04:14] my usb drive is read-ony, how do i get wrie access again? [04:14] snarkster: I'm guessing the drivers just aren't handling it properly [04:15] Eh... [04:15] well it is a mac drive. :) [04:15] resno, Is it in a ext4 format? I had the same problem. [04:15] but i have hfs installed [04:15] TJ: what did you do? [04:15] resno, When it was in fat, it worked fine... [04:15] do i have to use the count parameter [04:15] resno, I reformated the drive. [04:16] resno, I used the disk utilitiy thing in the system tools or prefferences list. [04:16] snarkster: Do you get an error from dd? [04:16] resno, Is there data on the drive that you would like to keep? [04:16] Jordan_U: no no error it just doesnt do the enitr drive [04:16] snarkster: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [04:17] snarkster thanks i was hoping to use one of my 1 gig flat drives(there 1" long and only as wide and thick as the usb pin slot) for this but o-well [04:17] snarkster: It may be a bad sector (though I would expect an error message in that case). [04:17] !root [04:17] 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 [04:17] su is used to become root right? [04:17] solster: You can use a 1 GB drive to install Ubuntu from. [04:17] resno, Yes, I beleive so. [04:18] solster: The files are the same as those on the LiveCD, which need to fit on a single CD :) So 1 GB is more than enough. [04:18] resno, I'm trying to help you with the best of my abilities. [04:18] avo: That driver's release notes make no sense. It says it's compatible with "XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 or 7.6", but the latest version (which is in maverick) is 1.9 [04:18] resno, I'm sorry if I fail to do so. [04:18] Some_Person: its definitely not 1.9 [04:19] Some_Person, Yeah, it is pretty odd. [04:19] Some_Person: 7.3 was in edgy [04:19] Some_Person, But I can guarantee you that it works for me :) [04:19] was think that cuz it only 695mb on my 16 Gig drive but snarkster said need 2 Gig [04:19] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Ykckd0yc [04:19] TJ: thanks === niki is now known as Guest80308 [04:19] Some_Person: xserver-xorg_7.5+6ubuntu3_i386.deb <-- maverick [04:19] avo: Nevermind, wikipedia fail [04:20] arg... anyone know how to get the PNY attache USB drive to even show up so I can reformat it? [04:20] solster: sorry thought you wantred to make a pendrive linux.. my bad [04:20] resno, It is best if you format your USB into fat32. [04:20] I got some of the 8G ones before and never had a problem, but this 2G I just grabbed doesn't work at all, just plain doesn't show up [04:20] Baram, try opening the terminal [04:20] baram: pastebin the output of lsusb -v [04:20] TJ: i have specfic needs, so i cant do that [04:21] Baram, and then type the following "df" or "fd" [04:21] avo: Anyway, maverick has Xorg 7.5, so that driver should work fine if it works in lucid [04:21] resno, let me seek an alternative. [04:21] Alinon: looks like they just moved the intrepid repositories from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com so this isn't so complicated. [04:21] Some_Person, Afaik, it _is_ the driver used in Maverick. Apparently Canonical and ATI worked on it specifically together. [04:21] avo: makes sense [04:22] Some_Person, Thankfully, yes. [04:22] snarkster: http://pastebin.com/3FLt3t4s [04:22] resno: do you think this will work? dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdb1 [04:22] avo: I'm an Intel user so I don't keep up with ATI's drivers and stuff [04:22] TJ it doesn't show up at all [04:22] TJ: yea, dont worry about it [04:22] snarkster no just a install drive i have like 10 of the flat drives and i use then to hold all my OS installers (should see the looks you get when to pull out a 1 Gig flash drive and in stall win 3.1.1 on a laptop just to be a dick [04:22] avo: Compiz performance improved dramatically in maverick with Intel too by the way [04:23] Some_Person, Ah. I thought Intel didn't do desktop-grade graphics..? [04:23] Baram: I'm currently running Windows, so I'm telling you to do something from the top of my head.. uhhhhh let me seek an alternative [04:23] avo: They do graphics in desktops [04:23] i'm hesitating between mediawiki & dokuwiki ... i guess they quite do the same things & almost have the same functionalities .. but i just try to get some comments and/or advices :) [04:23] thanks in advance [04:23] TJ I've tried everything I can think of, it's like it's completely unrecognized [04:24] avo: Not the best graphics, but I'm not a gamer so I don't really care [04:24] Some_Person, I wasn't aware. They are supposed to have the best Linux support, right? [04:24] Baram: Do you believe the USB drive still works? Does it work on another system? [04:24] TJ all I have are linux, it's brand new, litterally just opened the package [04:24] avo: They don't need a special proprietary driver [04:24] Some_Person, And I guess that's a pro [04:24] TJ though I am seeing something odd... one of my raid drives didn't activate it appears [04:25] Baram: I'm curious, are you using Ubuntu 10.10? [04:25] TJ no, haven't updaed yet [04:26] avo: I actually do still have 2 machines with nvidia graphics, but I don't use either much anymore, and they both primarily use Windows XP. One has some old ubuntu version as well, but I haven't booted it in a long time [04:26] TJ I generally wait a few months, tired of losing a weekend to an upgrade :P [04:26] I'm looking for a easy method to edit a INI type config file from the console (like just putting ./editini sectiona/userid theone ) anyone know of such a program? [04:26] I'm looking for a easy method to edit a INI type config file from the console (like just putting ./editini sectiona/userid theone ) anyone know of such a program / script? [04:26] Baram, I know how that feels. =p [04:26] I'm looking for a easy method to edit a INI type config file from the console (like just putting ./editini sectiona/userid theone ) anyone know of such a program / script? [04:26] Alinon Thanks for that url it workes wonders :) [04:26] JRWR: nano? [04:26] nano [04:26] ok... in theory, doing a swapoff shouldn't cause me any problems if I've got plenty of real RAM... right? [04:26] solster: you shuold see peoples faces when you have an 8gig pendrive linux with persistence storage and do your school work on a windows machine that just became linux [04:27] avo: Actually, I think I have too many computers [04:27] Baram: I feel completely useless... I need to boot into Ubuntu to test and try to find a solution. [04:27] Baram: assuming you do a swapon before trying to hibernate, right [04:27] some_person: no such thing... that's like saying I have too many monitors [04:27] does anyone know of a comprehensive system monitor other than the one included with Ubuntu? [04:27] Baram: There are 8 in this apartment [04:27] Some_Person, I wish I had a laptop. As a freshman in highschool, getting work done at school would be invaluable. [04:27] i had 5 monitors once.. it was nice [04:27] Some_Person, Gotta step on my parents :-) [04:27] maco: that's what I thought, for some reason half of the raid array (the swap one) didn't activate, want to swap off so I can attempt a remount [04:27] Thanks for all the help i'm off now to see if i can Tri-boot my netbook (Win 7, MacOS X SL and Now to see if i can add Ubuntu 10.10 to the mix) [04:28] avo: Ah, I'm a Junior in high school [04:28] Some_Person: dang [04:28] solster: i want ytour mac os [04:28] Baram: I only have a single monitor. But it's a multitouch display. =D [04:28] nice [04:28] Some_Person: i didnt have multiple computers in the house til i was in uni using my summer job savings to buy them [04:28] TJ I plan to build one of those with my broken LCDs [04:28] Some_Person, Ah cool. So I'm not the only highschooler into Ubuntu haha [04:28] snarkster: Do you want my ancient Macintosh SE from 1987? [04:28] no just the os [04:28] LOL [04:29] avo, Some_Person: there's an Ubuntu Youth group [04:29] lol [04:29] Im making several different virtual machines on my computer [04:29] avo: I started when I was in 6th grade [04:29] maco, Seriously..? [04:29] Baram, I want to buy a display from Wacom. [04:29] TJ: 4 monitors on my desk (used to be 5, but one died and didn't really need one dedicated to my server) [04:29] avo: yep. it, like Ubuntu Women, is part of the Ubuntu For All project [04:29] hmm... ok... why won't md0 activate properly... but mountall shows no errors [04:29] avo: You're certainly not. Quite a few of my friends are ubuntu users [04:30] Baram: I only have a Dell Latitude XT2 Tablet. [04:30] Ive got a baslisk [04:30] Some_Person, I started Linux in uh. I guess 7th. But I've been on my computer for unhealthy amounts of time since I can remember. [04:30] does anyone know of a comprehensive system monitor other than the one included with Ubuntu? [04:30] hey can someone copy paste the output of "lsb_release -d" [04:30] Some_Person, I've actually converted two kids at school O.o [04:30] Baram: sudo umount /dev/sda1 [04:30] avo: in a few years my cousin will be a high school ubuntu user. at the moment she's a 4th grade ubuntu user [04:30] tj: hows the pen work in linux [04:30] avo: Hey, so have I! [04:30] Baram: sudo fsck.msdos -r /dev/sda1 [04:30] TJ: that would be bad, sda1 is room [04:30] eer root [04:30] snarkster, Horrible... lol [04:30] Snarkster: I tried installing a recent version of OS X in virtualbox, it failed because it was looking for the hardware markers. [04:30] tj oh that sucks [04:30] snarkster, That's why I'm forced to use Windows 7 [04:31] avo: What version of ubuntu did you start with? [04:31] ive got pearpc installed id like the ppc version of osx [04:31] snarkster: lol, why bother?! [04:31] hey can someone copy paste the output of "lsb_release -d" [04:31] I just dont have the 100+ bucks to buy it [04:31] Baram: How can the thing not identify the USB?!?!!?!?!? [04:31] is there a way to get rid of that glib warning every time the system boots up or suspends [04:31] Some_Person, Interesting question. I started with I think 8.04. I was a die-hard Apple fan and had just gotten an iMac.. let's just say Linux support on Macs was pretty bad back then. [04:31] Some_Person, avo: though, since youve moved off the subject of tech support, may i recommend #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-youth ? [04:31] because you cant get it to work in virtualbox [04:32] Some_Person, Plus I was in love with Apple and their OS [04:32] can you say lamer? [04:32] Some_Person, yeah, i'm going to offtopic [04:32] TJ: exactly, it acts like it just doesn't exist at all [04:32] hey can someone copy paste the output of "lsb_release -d" [04:32] I used a Apple Lisa once a million years ago [04:32] melik: why? [04:32] Baram: And how do you not have access to a Windows computer? [04:32] Snarkster: OS X in virtulbox install of OS X only works on mac hardware. [04:33] strull: because i develop a little tool called archey, and i don't have an ubuntu box to test [04:33] snarkster i got the Mac os from a Torrent and all the info to run it on a mini was from google seach for Hackintosh and http://www.mymacnetbook.com/compatibility-chart/ [04:33] Baram, Or any other OS [04:33] yah [04:33] nice [04:33] melik: Description: Ubuntu 9.04 [04:33] what the... ok, how am I using software raid without dmraid installed? [04:34] hmmmm [04:34] ouch:S [04:34] TJ: nope, erased windows from my life years ago... except at work [04:34] thanks strull [04:34] np [04:34] Baram: lol [04:34] Baram: the problem is that it seems like there are more problems on Ubuntu than Windows [04:35] Snarkster 90% of all NETBOOK's run on the same Hardware as the mac mini (it's NOT a mini laptop it's a OVER priced desktop that is no bigger then a CD drive) [04:35] TJ: I generally have less problems with Ubuntu, but when I do have problems they're good ones [04:35] solster: the price is open to interpretation [04:35] solster: i know what a mac mini is [04:35] anyone here know how to set up a remote using LIRC in ubuntu? it's a USB TV tuner remote. [04:36] Baram: A good problem? I haven't heard of that ... lol =p [04:36] i just wannt learn how to fix peoples issues with mac osx [04:36] TJ: heh, Good as an not a quick and simple one, nice and complicated [04:37] but that is all OT [04:37] was only making sure told someone that once and thay asked me "why not just get that if mac makes a netbook just get it" so i was making sure [04:37] Baram: You're an interesting person/ [04:37] what's the command in apt-get to uninstall? [04:37] we are all interesting in our own special way [04:38] tphive: remove [04:38] solster: let's not get to netbooks.... they're just too cheap ... i don't think they should even exist [04:38] tphive: sudo apt-get remove [04:38] maco: thanks [04:38] snarkster: thanks [04:38] well this is just beyond odd... md0 is my swap array (top piece of 2 drives), swapoff, it stil says it's busy... it shows up properly as 17G (should be 18, but close enough), but with swapon only half shows up [04:38] tphive apt-get remove, or apt-get purge. Purge will also remove config files [04:38] wow [04:38] solster: whenever i see a netbook, I would want to throw it out of the nearest window and then smack the owner across his/her face [04:39] solster: and then jump around like a monkey [04:39] solster, lol [04:39] they have there uses. [04:39] im using my dell mini netbook as a carpc [04:40] TJ i have one so i could stop dragging my 17" notebook everyplace to JB iPhones and Unlock Other brands. it'a also handy if you are a tunner and want to tune your car while driving :P [04:40] I loive my Eee [04:40] hello~ if I manually install a software using make and make install, then can I update this software automatically? [04:40] Baram: I don't think I can help; your problem is too advanced for a newbie like me. [04:40] such as apt-get update? [04:40] I use one because it fits in my BDU pockets, great for long deployments [04:40] LOL [04:40] solster: tuner? =O cooool [04:41] TJ: it's quite odd, I should be able to figure it out though [04:41] lixinfish: no [04:41] anyone here have any Linux certs, and actually use them for work? [04:41] Baram: I wish you the best of luck. [04:41] Some government and contract jobs pay well for unix certs [04:41] solster, So you can improve the performacne of your car? [04:42] TJ: At this point it's just irritating, I can live with only half swap until the next reboot... and just buy another usb drive [04:42] solster: 'tune your car'? [04:42] it's not ez using Crome at 90 MPH but i have done it trying to get rid of a flat spot in my map after the dyno shop f***ed it up [04:42] !language | solster [04:42] solster: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:42] wlfrage8765: I'm one of those, but my job doesn't require it, do have a few positions that require solaris certs though [04:42] Baram: I would buy another USB... they're relatively cheap, now-a-days [04:42] what is the difference between sudu and gksu? [04:42] nah nah linux ICE distribution.. ICE= In Car Entertainment [04:43] sorry [04:43] karthick87: sudo is for command line apps, gksu/gksudo for graphical ones [04:43] karthick gksudo is used for GUI, sudo for command line [04:43] right solaris is the main OS for many links [04:43] that and centos [04:44] oke wat about sudo -i and sudo -s? [04:44] oh... swapoff killed chrome, interesting [04:44] Ubuntu is making me tired........................... =,{ [04:44] any way wifes home i'm out [04:44] karthick87, I think you can use sudo --help to find out. [04:45] karthick87, Tell me if that helps. [04:45] TJ: no [04:45] Baram: CentOS is linux and it runs one of our main platforms, though we perfer the solaris platform, becuase the GUI is easier [04:45] karthick87, Darn. =( [04:46] karthick87, try "sudo -h" [04:46] I'm trying to set up remote desktop so I can work on my grandparent's computer from my home and I'm not having much luck. Any suggestion on where to look for a dumbed down how to? [04:46] Hey all...I'm kinda stuck...I need to get mod_rewrite into my apache install...but the way it was installed is very different than other installs I've worked with...what's the best way to get that installed/configured in lucid? [04:46] karthick87, and it will tell you what the sudo options [04:46] <_TexNick_> To all the Dev & Support ppl here ... I would just like to say THANKS for Maverick ... It was a seamless USB Dual-Boot Install :) [04:46] theGman: i think you can: sudo a2enmod rewrite [04:46] karthick87, sudo [-bEHPS] [-a auth_type] [-c class|-] [-p prompt] [04:46] [-u username|#uid] [VAR=value] {-i | -s | command} [04:47] maco: Thx...I'll give it a try :) [04:47] theGman: or make a symlink between /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite [04:47] theGman: which is what that command does anyway ;-) [04:47] karthick87, Check this page out for more information: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/sudo.8.html [04:47] maco: Kk..thx [04:47] karthick87, or this one http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/sudo.8.html [04:48] TJ: Thank you :) [04:48] karthick87, Anything for you. =] [04:48] interesting, /dev/shm permissions got messed up [04:48] Baram: is that the culprit? [04:49] TJ: doesn't appear to be, but chrome couldn't start because of it [04:49] night dev is in the tank again.. [04:49] I WANT TO COMPILE CHROMEOS SO BADLY! [04:50] UBUNTU HATES ME [04:50] I think the usb is just bad, wife has the same model and hers works fine [04:51] Psh... I'm not married... [04:51] Baram: did you hash sum the iso prior to burn? [04:51] I think it's your wife's fault for having the working one. HAHHHAHA [04:51] lol nice to know we are always on topic here [04:51] Baram: had that happen to me often [04:52] wolfrage8765: brand new usb, linux doesn't even recognize it at all [04:52] Callum__, Talking about not being on topic is off topic. =D [04:52] so can't be the iso, didn't even get that far === soero_ohcysp is now known as psycho_oreos [04:52] Baram: copy sry [04:53] TJ: so someone gets the irony of it =P [04:53] wolfrage8765 you military, or just work with a lot of them? [04:53] Callum__, Heheheheheeh... Well we have to have a little fun. =] [04:53] Baram: active [04:53] wolfrage8765, just ETS (second time) last month, contractor now [04:54] TJ: of course, that makes sense [04:55] Callum__, This is actually my first time using this XChat thing and the IRC FreeNode Ubuntu thingy. [04:55] Baram: currently in OEF; USAF Datalink Operations [04:55] anyone know how to change permissions on the www folder [04:55] chmod [04:55] TJ: well, we are supposed to be on topic, on topic as in helping someone like internet when they come [04:55] hi can anyone tell me why my monitor gets no input after I get past grub? [04:55] Callum__, It's much more complicated than what I'm used to using; Google Talk, AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, whatnot... [04:55] usually this channel is a lot more fast pased [04:56] paced* [04:56] or busy [04:56] !offtopic [04:56] #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! [04:56] wolfrage8765, good luck over there, never got to go myself, almost did but my Colonel didn't want to let me go and since my wife was pregnant at the time I was happy to finish out my tour in Korea [04:56] internet: we use chmod I think [04:56] internet: use chmod [04:56] internet: check this documentation for more information [04:56] internet: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/chmod.1.html [04:57] I could use some help with remote desktop. I'm trying to set it up so I can remotely work on my grandparent's computer from my home. Anyone have experience with this? [04:57] Baram: Mine is pregnant, looking forward to getting home to her. Thanks, you take care too. [04:57] #ubuntu-offtopic [04:57] สบาบดี [04:57] does anyone know how I can get [04:57] I'm still running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (on my OLPC) but apt-get update now fails with Packages.gz 404 Not Found when I update; is this expected because 8.10 has reached EOL? [04:57] back in to my installation, I installed nvidia drivers on my vaio and now i just get a purple screen [04:58] Firefox changed it's font size too small.How do I change it back again? [04:58] frobisher, in the tools menu. [04:58] frobisher: Ctrl and Plus to temporarily change the font size [04:58] i'd really like to use xoscope, and I found a way to get it to run under padsp , but it seems as though the problem is that is still won't work because the kernel is compiled without OSS... bummer, any suggestions aside from a recompiled kernel>? [04:58] p1und3r, Could you please explain what happened? [04:59] Mouse ty [04:59] TJ: i decided to upgrade to 10.10 -- fresh install. I can install everything all dandy until I install NVIDIA restricted drivers for 3d acceleration, now I just boot and the screen just goes purple [04:59] TJ: im on a live CD atm [04:59] frobisher, Oh sorry it's in the edit menu in preferences. [05:00] are there others here having problems with Intel HD Audio in 10.10? In Kubuntu 10.10, my audio cuts out for a second or so, once every 4 or 5 minutes [05:00] p1und3r: try the 'nomodeset' option perhaps. - many of my nvidia systems need that. [05:00] frobisher, then click the content tab and it will show the available font. [05:01] Dr_Willis: i thought there was no KMS for nvidia at this point. am i wrong about that? [05:01] Dr_Willis: i just did that actually, this is my second attempt I disabled nouveau [05:01] p1und3r, Uh.... Hmmm........ Does anyone think this would work? "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" [05:02] p1und3r, "sudo apt-get update" [05:02] p1und3r, "sudo apt-get upgrade" [05:02] jmichaelx: im not sure about KMS. I normally have to use the nomodeset to get my nvidia systems where they can actually boot/install, then once i install the nvidia drivers. they seem to work without he option. [05:02] TJ: can i do that froma live CD tho? [05:02] ahh [05:02] p1und3r, Hit ALT+F2? I think... ehhh [05:02] p1und3r: when you say purple screen.. do you mean its the ubuntu wallpaper showing and no gnome? or is it solid purple? can you get to the consoles via alt-ctrl-f1? [05:03] TJ: yeah but won't that upgrade the live CD? [05:03] plunde3r: not with out chroot [05:03] Dr_Willis: the purple screen is after the 10.10 splash but before X, no terminals available [05:03] p1und3r: You can also try the 'text' option at the grub menu, and get a system booting without X or the gfx at all. and use the console to update/upgrade/try to fix things. and test with 'startx' [05:04] p1und3r, if it's anything like lucid you might need to blacklist a bunch of things [05:04] p1und3r: so you are actually getting X starting, but then the system either hangs, or gnome/X crashes/fails to startuo then? [05:04] Dr_Willis: how do i get in to text at bootup? I haven't been able to figure that out since 9.10 [05:04] p1und3r, Does the logo become bigger and ugly? [05:04] TJ: only after i disabled nouveau [05:04] p1und3r: hit e to edit the boot menu , replace the 'quiet whatever' options with 'text' [05:04] mouse thanks again,as the fist didn't work. [05:05] p1und3r, and i think purple screen probably means plymouth is having trouble displaying... [05:05] p1und3r, Do you think this will help? http://goo.gl/x46BM [05:05] Dr_Willis: I dont think im getting X [05:05] p1und3r: grub menu, select entry, hit 'e' to edit, change. "quiet splash" to be "text" [05:05] that will go stragith to the CONSOLE, no GDM, no X, no Plymouth. [05:05] frobisher, But you're all good now? [05:05] Dr_Willis: i never see a grub menu tho? [05:06] p1und3r: if the menu is hidden use shift or esc to show it. [05:06] * Dr_Willis HATES how the grub menu is hidden by default. [05:06] Dr_Willis: ok should i try that swat-x ppa suggestion?? [05:06] If you only have linux/ubuntu installed. tey decide to hide tjhe menu. [05:06] No idea on swat-x ppa. [05:06] what is your nvidia chipset anyway? [05:07] p1und3r, Dr_Willis can help you from here: I tried my best to help. I'm sorry, but I hope you can fix your problem. [05:07] Dr_Willis 330M [05:07] p1und3r, i wouldn't... just grab latest driver from nvidia site [05:07] Hmm.. My 360M works in my laptop. if i use the nomodeset.. [05:07] mouse that worked fine,thanks agaian. === kaie- is now known as DickFerret [05:08] i did this so far" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9933042 [05:09] frobisher, No problem. Sorry about the first one. That's for a windows firefox build. [05:10] can someone recommend good webcams for Lucid [05:10] !webcam [05:10] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:10] hello everybody! [05:10] AH WELLL THAT"S IT FOR ME TONIGHT>>>> GOODNIGHT EVERYONE AND SWEET DREAMS [05:11] !oss [05:11] poo [05:12] hi can anyone tell me why my monitor gets no input after I get past grub? === DickFerret is now known as Kaie` [05:15] Turtle, what's the last thing you see? [05:16] spost: the grub screen [05:21] turtle_: and whats your video chipset? [05:21] turtle_: and is it a dvd/vga monitor? or laptop? [05:21] I could use some help with remote desktop. I'm trying to set it up so I can remotely work on my grandparent's computer from my home. Anyone have experience with this? [05:21] maco: For reference purposes...seems I had to make these changes to: http://www.ubun2.com/question/302/how_install_enable_apache_mod_rewrite_ubuntu [05:21] *too [05:22] mouse: I could help u [05:22] Seems that the cmd you mentioned onle does the symlink but doesn't actually change anything :P [05:22] littlebearz, lol [05:22] mouse: if you just want to remote 'in' you could set up ssh, (you may want to set up ssh anyway, as a fallback way to get in) [05:22] Is there any small difference between the terms Command Line, Terminal, and Console? [05:22] mouse: do you know if the connection will be dynamic or static? [05:23] Does anyone here know much about Cogent? [05:23] Dr_Willis: nVidia 8300, normal monitor, I tried switching between several and the same result [05:23] X11_EP: yes. The Console is what you get on the alt-crtl-f1 through F6 displays. [05:23] !find cogent [05:23] Package/file cogent does not exist in maverick [05:23] littlebearz, Well that depends. He dual boots too and is it common for a different ip to show up for different OS's? [05:23] X11_EP: the consoles run let you have a terminal. :) xterm, and gnome-terminal are terminal programs for X. all of them get you to the 'command line interface' [05:24] i get my new car monday :D [05:24] mouse: I meant his external IP, cause you needed to that to connect, need to pass through firewall if any, physically or within the pc [05:24] turtle_: try the 'nomodeset' option - ive needed it for many of my nvidia cards. [05:24] can someone say me abt askubuntu [05:24] is there a ubuntu alternative for windroplr out there? [05:25] Cogent is a ISP [05:25] sakekasi: and what does windroplr do? [05:25] Dr_Willis: I tried that, but once it booted, the resolution was tiny, and I couldn't find the proprietary driver under hardware [05:25] littlebearz, Well his IP when he's in windows is different from his IP when he's in ubuntu. Is that common in a static IP or does that suggest dynamic? [05:26] turtle_: if it worked.. then you can install the nvidia drivers via the 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' command.. [05:26] mouse: um. I mean the IP not from ifconfig [05:27] mouse: when you check what'smyip in google, it returns external ip [05:27] Dr_Willis: ok thanks I'll try that [05:27] mouse: what you're talking about I think is local, like 192.168.1.xxx [05:27] littlebearz, Right the IP one might find at www.whatismyip.com? [05:27] or 10.x.x.x depending on what network [05:27] yeah [05:28] littlebearz, Right. It's different depending on what OS he's in. [05:29] where does google Chrome store it's Temp files such as flash [05:32] How can I install Ubuntu on my Playstation 3? [05:32] how to you find out your global IP from the command line? [05:32] karthick87, Well I don't know for sure but I'm guessing you start off with installing a CD-Rom drive. [05:33] ÎÒ˵ÖÐÎÄ¡¤¡¤¡¤ÍÛßÇßÇ¡¤ [05:33] JayD3e: my be ifconfig shows [05:33] i recall sony disabling os installation on it :x [05:34] It's still awesome to install it on xbox. [05:34] pksadiq: it only shows my local IP, not my global one [05:34] Yep - Sony killed off the Install Other OS feature I recall - about 2 mo ago. [05:35] JayD3e: curl ip.profarius.com [05:35] JayD3e: I setup a website for that exact thing :) [05:36] MTecknology: wow nice work dude [05:37] MTecknology: thts tight [05:37] where does google Chrome store it's Temp files such as flash [05:37] MTecknology: any way I could get the source for tht page, Im surious as to how u did tht [05:37] Why BURG doesn't replace grub ? [05:37] JayD3e: check out my blog - profarius.com [05:38] starn: looks like in .config/google-chrome [05:38] JayD3e: http://profarius.com/content/simple-ip-echo [05:38] MTecknology: will do [05:38] starn, If you're asking about the cache it's in /home/you/.cache/google-chrome/ [05:39] would an audio app like 'moc' make use of pulseaudio, or would it likely just work with alsa directly? [05:39] How can I automate string answers to prompts prompted during apt-get installs? My netboot preseed does it but I'm not sure how to do it outside of that context [05:39] thank you mouse and Dr_Willis both answers helpful [05:41] sorry i was afk did anyone answer my question? [05:41] I want to go ahead and upgrade to the natty build. how do i update my repos so I can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [05:41] BURG looks a lot better and user friendly than Grub, at the same time it get the job done. Why ubuntu have not switched to it ? === george_ is now known as oldmanstan [05:42] is there a ubuntu alternative for windroplr out there? [05:42] robertzaccour: see #ubuntu+1 i suggest not doing it at this time. [05:42] sakekasi: and what does that program do? [05:42] thanks [05:42] Dr_Willis: i can drag a file into it and it uploads it to something like a bit.ly link [05:42] karthick87: by default grub is hidden, so i imagine its because the ubuntu higher-ups dont care about how grub looks. [05:43] sakekasi: not easily - check out this example - http://www.linode.com/stackscripts/view/?StackScriptID=41 [05:43] http://windroplr.com/ [05:43] sakekasi: theres various drop.io and other 'file bin' extensions out there for firefox.. thats all ive ever used. [05:43] if any one knows hot to configure facebook with empathy please send private [05:43] Anybody lives in Brazil? [05:44] can someone tell me how to share mounted drives in samba? everytime another machine accesses them it says permission denied [05:44] Dr_Willis thanks [05:44] SorayaUbuntu: last i checked into that I think you had to somehow send facebook your cellphone # to get a 'text verification #' Not sure why they had the limitation. [05:45] turtle_: 'man mount' look for permission and user options [05:45] How to disable login timeout? [05:45] karthick87: login timeout for what? SSH you mean? [05:46] No login time in the grub screen [05:46] MTecknology: what do they need to be set at? [05:46] karthick87: thats not a 'login' :) grub settings for that timeout is in /etc/default/grub [05:46] karthick87: login timout?? I don't think there is one [05:46] !grub2 | karthick87 [05:46] karthick87: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:47] Dr_Willis, thats absurd,even pidgin is not connecting my facebook,it froze a few times and i have to close applicationd and when restar pidgin no facebook configuration is saved because i have to force quit [05:47] turtle_: I can't remember offhand - you probably want to mount it as samba-users user/group and grant people access by adding them to that group [05:48] a good question, I do allso want to know how to disable or increase the time for login... If you are forced to a virtual shell like alt+f1 bq the system resoursers slow down the machine then 30sec is not enough [05:48] would an audio app like 'moc' make use of pulseaudio, or would it likely just work with alsa directly? [05:48] SorayaUbuntu: i just loaded up Empathy, tried to put in my facebook info. it said i needed a facebook 'username' which is differnt then my normal Facebook Login name.. the info messages in empathy pointed me to --> http://www.facebook.com/username/ [05:49] SorayaUbuntu: not tried facebook in other apps.. Could be other apps are using the web interface to facebook. and empathy is doing it some other way via the username [05:49] Dr_Willis: You need to setup your facebook username - for some unknown reason... [05:50] MTecknology: yep. and im not giving facebook my cell #. I cant recive text msgs anyway :) [05:50] otherwise you 'might' be able to use your user id... [05:50] facebook needs a cell # for a user id? [05:51] MTecknology: yes.. its not the same as your 'login' [05:51] Dr_Willis, i did that,but is not doing anything [05:51] Dr_Willis: I meant the long string of numbers [05:51] SorayaUbuntu: out of my control.. im just saying what its saying to do... [05:51] Dr_Willis, i get networ errors [05:51] i know,thanks [05:51] Ive not gotten any farther then it asking and me saying.. NO.. :) [05:52] I dont even see Empathy having a facebook option [05:52] err. i mean Pidgin. [05:53] I see no 'add account' item for Facebook in Pidgin. [05:53] u have to install aditional plugin for that [05:54] i had it working on ubuntu 10.4 LTS but ever since i upgrade averythung is going wrong for me [05:54] indicator me interact with empathy if im not mistaken,and it does have a option for facebook [05:55] Hmm. Not in the default plugins.. where did these plugins come from? time to check the repos. :) [05:56] Lookit at all the plugins.. :) [05:56] better yet i link you oa screen shot [05:56] give me a sec. [05:56] hello? [05:57] i have a quick question about gline? [05:57] Hello [05:58] !info gline [05:58] Package gline does not exist in maverick [05:58] Hmm. [05:58] im using ubuntu 10.10 [05:58] !find gline [05:58] Found: glines, sawfish-merlin-ugliness [05:58] no its a bann by isp [05:58] glines pack is a game [05:58] 5 in a row [05:59] My home is encrypted with AES if I reinstall the system I still will be able to access my /home ? [05:59] IRC networks can kline and gline ip#'s i think. but thats not really #ubuntu related. [05:59] I screwed up! I remove some software rebooted and it will not allow me to relog in [05:59] Dr_Willis: do I need to change it back from nomodeset once nvidia-current is installed? [05:59] do u know the command for a gline [05:59] newshades, did you remember what software you remove ? [06:00] !u [06:00] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [06:00] newshades: use the recovery mode, or text optionm and reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package via. 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' should bring it back to sane settings.. [06:01] Dr_Willis, If you don't have a recovery mode in you grub, boot trough the cd/dvd, and mount the / of you install and chroot then use apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:01] Dr_Willis, http://imagebin.org/122137 [06:01] Will gparted move any files if I reduce the size of a partition? [06:01] Dr_Willis, wrong menssege [06:01] im in the live cd right now but i try to do repair but it will give me that option [06:02] newshades, and If you don't have a recovery mode in you grub, boot trough the cd/dvd, and mount the / of you install and chroot then use apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:02] and, in ubuntu do i still need antivirus as much as in windows? [06:02] daniel__, if u share is good to have antivirus [06:02] bye [06:02] daniel__, you dont need it for anything else [06:03] !bye [06:03] Au revoir! [06:03] share u mean transmission [06:03] ? [06:03] Facebook seems to be working here on Pidgin. [06:03] daniel__, i mean local network,and yes downloads like that tool [06:04] But the Facebook people i see have some ## by their names.. which must of been what they used that cellphone msg/txt thing for, [06:04] newshades, try that from the live cd sudo su mkdir system mount / system chroot system/ apt-get install desktop [06:04] Will gparted move any files if I reduce the size of a partition? [06:04] newshades, my bad [06:04] delta1: yes. it can do that [06:04] i am the only user on my local hehe, are there the same type of viruses like in windows? like trojans [06:05] daniel__: not really. [06:05] Dr_Willis, i never have to do that before for connect to facebook [06:05] what should i be aware of? [06:05] daniel__, nop [06:05] daniel__: a few things of malware to watch out for.. Biggest danger is the end user [06:05] news mkdir system mount /your_system_partition system that is the right comand [06:05] newshades, mkdir system mount /your_system_partition system that is the right comand [06:05] SorayaUbuntu: seems theres 2 seperate ways these apps are geting facebook info., one way via username, other way via the normal http/web interface. [06:05] end user? fatal damage? [06:06] im getting permission denied [06:07] when trying to mount [06:07] daniel__: a person wth admin rights and not knowing what they are doing.. is a dangerous thing. :) [06:07] newshades, wierd, lets did it step by step [06:07] im in the live cd so i need to change dir to system dir? [06:08] newshades: trying to mount what exactly? and how. [06:08] newshades, step by step, first sudo su [06:09] like me eheh, im not very old in this, but i felt in love with ubuntu firt time i tryed it. i can do easy things like managing all kind of things. but with scripts an such i can't much =( [06:09] newshades, anyerror ? [06:09] i really hate web irc [06:09] newshades, anyerror ? [06:09] I guess i need to start back from top [06:10] newshades, no, you can do it anywhere [06:10] newshades, after sudo su, run: mkdir system (or anyother name you want to use) [06:11] ok the software i removed was the sound software now it brings me into boot screen but when i login nothing happens [06:11] i got the same problem on my old pc, it was a block fail in my case [06:12] newshades, then mount /yousystemdev like /dev/sda1 if you system are installed in /dev/sda1 system [06:12] newshades: theres the 'recovery' option to grub that may let you get into the consoles and not need a live cd.. (would make things easier) [06:13] i tried the recover console but one thing it wants wired internet connection not wireless [06:13] newshades: wireless only connection.. does make things a lot harder.. [06:13] newshades, now u need only run chroot system and and you be like you are rooted to you old system .... [06:14] newshades: so you are on the desktop of the live cd, and wireless is workign correct? [06:14] newshades, after all that you need only to run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:15] im on desktop in live cd with wireless working [06:16] please for give me im a dos boy so still learning unix commands [06:16] youre not alone [06:16] i converted to linux permanent [06:17] daniel__: if you'd said "you are" instead of "youre" i'd have wondered at a Doctor Who reference [06:17] I just upgraded to 10.10, but apparently I have a reference to a disk that no longer exists in my fstab. I'm on a screen that says to press S to skip mounting or press M for manual recovery, but neither one does anything. What's wrong here? I've been waiting for it to continue for several minutes now. [06:17] my english is'nt very good [06:17] maco: out os scope discussion? [06:17] is there a way i can take my home dir from the system drive to another drive? [06:17] still learning [06:17] of* [06:17] ill just reinstall :P [06:17] daniel__, me too, with the exception of my games [06:17] ?D [06:17] pksadiq: yeah.. [06:18] winee rulez [06:18] anyone have a quick way to install itunes...i have tried to no avail [06:18] newshades, no need at all to reinstall [06:18] playonlinux [06:18] for itunes [06:18] newshades, you mean, reinstall all the system ? [06:18] newshades: the basics are you need to boot the live cd, chroot 'into' your installed system. and reinstall teh pacakges you need. Most chroot tutorials are on how to fix grub. :) but you dont need to do that part. [06:18] play on linux? [06:18] link? [06:19] newshades: a decnt guide seems here -> http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ [06:19] just go to softwarecenter [06:19] an search for playonlinux [06:19] newshades: the main diff. is at step 7 you need to 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' instead of trying to fix grub. [06:19] at your program menu [06:19] !itunes [06:19] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [06:19] grub works [06:20] i have itunes [06:20] newshades: and as i said.. you need to do 'other' things.. not fix grub.. :) [06:20] just desktop is hosed [06:20] newshades: thas what installuing ubuntu-desktop package shoul;d fix. [06:20] and spotify without premium. playonlinux got me that, steam and steam games too [06:20] newshades, one tip, if you don't already know it. If you reinstall separet at least you /home from others partitions, this way you will be able to format you system how manytimes you want to, without lost personal data [06:21] I use steam and steam games in normal wine. I found playonlinux a bit.. awkward at times.. [06:21] but it still deliver spotify, itunes and such for those who want that [06:22] Wine today are a great tool, most of windows software run without the need of special configuration [06:22] playonlinux is a frontend for wine [06:22] i have 3 boot setup.. i can normally access my home folder to pull out what i need but in boot disk for some reason it saying i dont have access to drive to copy it or move it [06:23] Hi, I have a problem with nm-applet, it says "The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue.", I try to run gtk-update-icon-cache on the hicolor theme on /usr/share/icons, but it is a socket link that doesn't seem to point anywhere, hence it doesn't have an index cache file ? Does anyone know about socket links and how I would repair one ? [06:23] newshades: you proberly need sudo rights to access the dir. because the files are under a diffeent users name then what the live cd is using. === CleanUIUser is now known as isgoungoo [06:24] so does the live cd allow me to change users? [06:24] hi need some help with ubuntu 10.10 sound recorder/skype [06:24] i have a group named gitters, i have added 3 users to that group and chown'd a few files to root:gitters and then chmod g+w on it but i cant write to the folder from the users in that group [06:24] newshades, yes, the live cd allows you to do anything in any folder of you harddrive, of course if the folder is not encrypted [06:24] can someone help [06:25] is it is, you need the password [06:25] or key file [06:25] anilsarwal, what is you problem with it ? [06:25] its not encrypted just wont let me copy anything out of home [06:25] i can open it [06:26] it is excellent in all ways, however, I cannot record sound or do skype [06:26] newshades: to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop pacakge you dont need to change users.. If you want to copy files from the home to somewhere else. You could run the file manager as root perhaps. [06:26] I love new Ubuntu 10.10. However, despite my best efforts, I cannot make sound recorder/skype work. That is, microphone would not simply record any sound. My mother board is Asus M2N68-AM. Can anyone help? [06:26] backup time. [06:26] newshades: 'gksudo nautilus' should let you do most everything.. but be carefull with that. [06:27] Thanks chicognu for offering to help [06:27] if you use sudo nautilus remember to X it once you have done what you set out to do. [06:27] i feel you on the sound thing it is what i was trying to fix ubuntu does not like my hdmi sound and internal sound card [06:27] anilsarwal, I don't know much about it, but you can use you microphone at least ? [06:27] i burnt my fingers with gksudo nautilus [06:27] not really [06:28] COmpiz has a setting to put 'ROOT:' in the title of any program running as root. :) [06:28] i have and asus n71 with same problem with sound :P glad to not be alone [06:28] that is the only problem, otherwise I would get rid of windows :-) [06:28] anilsarwal: are you trying to use mic from front port? [06:28] i can't use my jack output, do anybody know how to fix it btw? [06:28] anilsarwal, humm the sound card is installed correct ? [06:29] no, it is at the back [06:29] sound card is on board [06:29] anilsarwal: laptop? [06:29] no, it is the desktop [06:29] You can get a decent sound card for like $30 these days. :) [06:29] mine is laptop :P dr_willis [06:30] anilsarwal, for installed I mean software installed, if the correct modules (drivers) are loaed [06:30] the 'multi function plugs' in sound cards these days can cause so many issues. [06:30] anilsarwal: did you chech whether the right mic port is used at "Sound preferences"? [06:30] is there a way i can reinstall jackd and the other sound program that i uninstalled? [06:30] newshades: sudo apt-get install whatever [06:30] newshades: once you chroot into the system, or get it working in some other way. [06:30] both jack input and output isn't working for me, is there a program to make the sound go to jacks? [06:30] or will the fix desktop resolve that for me? [06:31] newshades: ubuntu-desktop installs the core ubuntu packages.. not those extras [06:31] daniel__, here you need to configure in sound preferences [06:31] daniel__: theres jackd and jackd2 also.. but ive never used them [06:32] in the sound preferences internal audio analogue stereo is selected with microphone 1 [06:32] thats packages from the terminal right? [06:32] so if why did my deskstop fail then when i uninstalled them? [06:32] jackd [06:32] any of the pacakge managers can isntall the packages [06:32] anilsarwal, did it lspci and paste the line to the correspondent audio device [06:32] newshades: you proberly removed more then what you planned on. [06:33] anilsarwal: try selecting other options there and try to record audio === dl551_ is now known as dl551 [06:33] i used the synaptic package mgr [06:33] i did that too but no success [06:33] it removed what it wanted [06:34] newshades: so? it removed stuff.. it removed more then what you wanted..

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:42] brasero usually 'just works' [06:42] although it did this once and I cant remember what I did [06:43] I remember wanting to burn a cd of music I had personally recorded for a friend who was in town for one night before he left to go back to Iraq [06:43] here anilsarwal http://pastebin.com/ past the output of you lspci here [06:43] and he gave me the cd-r in the last .. 2 hours .. and I was NEVER able to burn it [06:43] I finally was able to.. and it ejected half way and THAT's what made it fail [06:43] anilsarwal, and you lsmod too [06:43] so i'm trying to burn an iso to a usb stick, trying to make sure it's still bootable... tried dd, didnt work, tried the usb creator included in ubuntu, it doesnt even load the iso... does it only work for ubuntu images? [06:43] also.. why, this is the third computer I've seen it on, when you hit the eject button in Ubuntu (at least) does it.. immediately suck the disc back in [06:44] you hit eject.. the tray pops out about 15% of the way and then immediately reverses and goes back in [06:44] after partimage rescue "symbol not found grub_putchar" grub rescue - need help please [06:44] dirtikiti: you must check syslinux if you are trying to configure bootable USB manually [06:45] ok rebooting .. we will try that [06:45] is there any webside or any list of commands for linux? [06:45] daniel__: You should get the Linuxcommand.org PDF [06:45] pksadiq: thats what i figured... cool [06:46] daniel__: http://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [06:46] thank you [06:47] after partimage rescue "symbol not found grub_putchar" grub rescue - need help please [06:47] daniel__: You can learn a lot from it.

[06:47] after partimage rescue "symbol not found grub_putchar" grub rescue - need help please [06:48] im gonna spend a few months reading an learning everything from it [06:48] how to GRUB-RESCUE please?? [06:48] thank you very much [06:48] Hi, I am unable to ping my windows XP machine from my Ubuntu (through SSH) [06:49] need help immediately please i only have 10 minutes left [06:49] awanti: do you run ssh server in ubuntu [06:49] raven_: try #grub [06:49] no [06:50] 500 pages puh. i need to get started, tnx :) [06:50] I just upgraded to 10.10, but apparently I have a reference to a disk that no longer exists in my fstab. I'm on a screen that says to press S to skip mounting or press M for manual recovery, but neither one does anything. This only seems to happen when the keyboard is going through a KVM. [06:50] awanti: windwos firewalls can block ping replies.. can the windows box ping the linxu machine? [06:50] yes i can ping from xp to linux [06:50] daniel__: I'm still reading it after quite a long time, but I learn a lot from it everytime I read it. The great thing is you can practice what you learn at the same time. [06:51] Rakko [06:51] awanti: so it sounds like the windows firewall is doing it.. [06:51] awanti: whats the actual problem? [06:51] Rakko, how to rescue grub with ubuntu live system please [06:51] I don't know [06:52] sorry [06:52] yep, and its a warning if there are something you should think about before you try it i hope? [06:52] !grub2 | raven_ [06:52] raven_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:52] !fixgrub [06:52] 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. [06:52] raven_: boot live cd, chroot into system, rerun update-grub [06:52] actually i want to transfer/share the files from Ubuntu to Xp and XP to Ubuntu. [06:53] awanti: theres several ways you can do that.. ssh + winscp is one way to let windows access your linux files/machine.. samba is a bit more flexiable. [06:53] !samba | awanti [06:53] awanti: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [06:53] Dr_Willis, how to chroot? [06:53] Ok, rebooting fixed brasero [06:53] raven_: the guides give the details. theres several commands you have to do to chroot properly into the system. [06:54] Thanks i will read the instruction and i will implement it now... thanks once again [06:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:56] quit [06:57] Once i have completed the data backup i plan to use dd to clone this fresh install to a new harddisk that's should be pretty straight forward right ? [06:57] daniel__: What do you mean? [06:57] or if you know the proper locations you can do it via 1 command.. -> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda --recheck [06:57] OY1R: yes. [06:57] !clone [06:57] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [06:57] theres other ways to clone an image for backup/restoreing. [06:57] if it tells me to do something that can hurt my system if i do it wrong, it would tell me to be careful? [06:57] I installed a package with apt-get.. removed it.. saw that there were still some files left.. manually deleted them.. then apt-get install .. not all the files are being installed this time?? [06:58] daniel__: if 'what' tells you? theres always a risk for some silly typo. :) [06:58] daniel__: It doesn't test anything that is bad. But yes it has some warnings of things not to do. [06:58] yeah thats what i mean, so i know what i not should try :) [06:58] magik-: what files are you refering to? setting files? thats what the 'purge' option to the apt-get remove systems is for. [06:59] Dr_Willis, i made a new install on a test harddist to see if it ran, and it did so now im backing up and then i will remove the old Ubuntu 8-10 and place this install where 8.10 once was. [07:02] is there a prog for linux like convert x [07:02] how would I take an installation of xubuntu with some of my customizations, and restore it to only include the packages that xubuntu ships with? [07:02] wulliewallace: what is convert x? [07:03] its a prog i used on windows to convert avi divx and stuff to dvd [07:05] i am working with mediatomb [07:06] wulliewallace: ffmpeg (a command line transcoder) can transcode virtually if not literally any codec [07:06] error copying .camel_certs? [07:07] hello [07:08] this is a bare bone install of ubuntu about 7Gb big and i have a 100Gb partition available should i just delete the 100Gb partition and DD the new partition on the new disk or perhaps use clonezilla ? [07:09] and how will the cloned Ubuntu react to the other partitions on the disk (and a different size swap ? [07:09] Dr_Willis, I apt-get remove mediatomb, then located other mediatomb files on the box and rm -rf.. now when i reinstall the config.xml doesn't come back [07:10] OY1R, swap size doesn't matter ... but might need to edit /etc/fstab [07:10] wulliewallace: mencoder or ffmpeg will do the job. It takes a little bit to learn, but I prefer ffmpeg now. It's easier to use and it is the most extensive. [07:11] if i clone it how do i make sure the grub also gets cloned [07:12] OY1R: is grub installed to the ubuntu partition? [07:12] Yes. [07:12] OY1R, if whole disk gets cloned grub will be there [07:13] OY1R, but still you might need to restore/reinstall MBR [07:14] Dr_Willis: the nomodeset didn't work [07:14] only cloning a 25gb partition, on the disk im cloning to i have three partitions the first one being 100Gb it will be deleted the other two i want to keep as they are [07:14] Dr_Willis: would booting into a live session and chroot do the trick? [07:15] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 in this system. /boot and / are ext4 on a 64 GB SATA III SSD with /home on a 2TB software RAID 5 on three SATA III 1TB WD Caviar Black disks. I was interested in how fast it would boot to gmd, but have a problem: after all the POST and BIOS stuff finishes and a cursor flashes on a blank screen, gdm starts. There is no boot screen, or rather the system has booted before it can even be displayed [07:16] hai [07:16] hi === Kelvin is now known as Guest3610 [07:17] turtle_: odd that nodmodeset dident work.. [07:17] magik-: could be you need to purge it , then reinstall. [07:17] turtle_: whats the orignal problem anyway? i forget. [07:18] hi all... i have a problem with my login.... i click my name and it does nothing here is a video to help with understanding ma problem... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkw_xNwMg28 [07:18] Dr_Willis: i get no display after the grub screen [07:18] AJ_Z0: You are saying its booting to GDM so fast you cant see it boot.. :) [07:18] turtle_: but the live cd works normally? [07:19] Dr_Willis: yeah [07:19] turtle_: that is odd. I couldent even get my systems to boot with the live cd without the nomodeset option [07:20] turtle_: you could boot live cd, chroot into the installed system and try some things. Like installing the nvidia drivers. and setting the system to use teh 'text' option by default. That way you sould boot tot he consoel. and could test X with the 'startx' command. [07:21] Dr_Willis: how do I boot into the text option? [07:21] hello? [07:21] Dr_Willis: everytime I try to update in chroot it tells me a bad file descriptor [07:21] i will now install pure ubuntu on my oter computer an start testing commands from the book :D [07:21] Im not sure you can from the live cd.. but if you can get to the normal systems GRUB menu. you can append 'text' to the end of the kernel boot line. replaceing the 'quiet splash' options [07:22] turtle_: bad file descriptor souinds like a hard drive issue. [07:22] or currupted filesystem [07:22] I've had no issue with it up until now [07:22] hard drives can die at any time.. thats how things work. [07:23] Unless thers some other issue when you chroot thats causeing that error [07:23] they can indeed. [07:23] yeah I'm not going down the corrupt hdd just yet [07:23] hello [07:23] ? [07:23] that's why we can buy new ones on-line and in computer stores ! :P [07:23] remember to take a copy of all your things at least once every month [07:24] hi all... i have a problem with my login.... i click my name and it does nothing here is a video to help with understanding ma problem... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkw_xNwMg28 [07:24] watch dmesg out put every so often.. see if thers any io errors reported and so forth. [07:24] Guest3610: a video of clicking and doing nothing? :) [07:25] yer [07:25] Guest3610: it could be something as simple as broken packages [07:25] i cant click [07:25] can you login via the console? [07:25] how do i do that [07:25] a question, i will erase the whole disk and install only ubuntu from cd. 4 partitions will be deleted. will the install cd make a new swap partition ++ ? [07:25] alt-ctrl-f1 throguh F6 (f7 to get back to X) [07:25] thanks... will try [07:25] :D [07:25] Dr_Willis: back on topic, so how can I set it to boot into CLI? [07:25] daniel__: the installer can auto partition and make a swap =- yes [07:26] Dr_Willis: That is exactly what I'm saying. It's scary [07:26] ok i will start it now. thank you again [07:26] daniel__: If you let it do the partitions automatically, yes. [07:26] How to edit .svg files? [07:26] turtle_: grub menu, edit the kernel boot line. append 'text' replaceing the 'quiet splash' option [07:26] karthick87: inkscape is a very good vector graphics editor [07:27] karthick87: sudo apt-get install inkscape [07:27] /msg NickServ identify [07:27] Dr_Willis: tyvm [07:27] I recall there being a few other vector editor programs out.. but cant recall the name.. one had a tiger logo/mascot. [07:27] it will be automaticly when i choose to erase entire disk and install ubuntu from cd? i never done thet before, only installed it alongside hehe [07:28] daniel__: If doing a clean new install.. You may want to setup a seperate home, and do the partition layout manually [07:28] 没人说汉语？ [07:28] daniel__: ie somnthing like this --> (/ about 20gb) (swap a few gb) (/home rest of the HD) [07:28] daniel__: Yes, it is best to create a separate /home partition. [07:29] i just choosed clean istall and then clock and such [07:29] hi [07:29] perhaps a /boot/ at the front if you want to get fancy [07:29] whats everyone u pto [07:29] i didn't get any question about make partitions [07:29] /win 1 [07:29] could you speak Chinese [07:29] hey all...does anyone know how i can delete the icons to other twitter usernames in gwibber? they appear whenever i click on a particular twitter user [07:29] daniel__: it askes some where.. you proberly said it to auto [07:30] yes i think so, then it would be fine ? =) [07:30] daniel__: its fine for most people [07:30] daniel__: a seperate /home/ is VERY handy [07:30] i can use gparted later for that? [07:32] daniel__: It is best to do it at installation. Where you choose to install side by side or install on the entire disk, there is another option that lets you do it manually. [07:32] gparrted resizes filesystem.. [07:32] daniel__: But you can also create the partitions first with Gparted, which is what I did. [07:32] perhaps someday thei will put a 'make a home partition' option [07:32] it's just a training pc, my old stationary, i will only use the terminal on it [07:32] is it still important? [07:33] not really daniel__ [07:34] i put my /home/ on its own hard drive. :) [07:34] ok thats good. it's funny that it had a lot of block fails and wouldnt start windows, but i dexleted windows and it workd great with linu [07:34] x [07:34] bock failing = sign the hd is failing.. i wouldent trust that HD much, [07:35] daniel__: you might want to check for bad sectors and even physical damage [07:35] that was before. it's fixed.. you mean a external hd? [07:35] I mean ANY hard drive that has block failing, i wouldent trust very much. [07:35] it may be fixed for now.. but its a sign that the hd is having issues. [07:36] i mean your /HOME/ [07:36] run a SMART test [07:36] I have 5 sata hd's in this machine... [07:36] Dr_Willis: nope,... me neither,... just had a drive fail miserably two months ago [07:36] and about 5 usb hd;s [07:36] servus [07:36] now i using a dell studio hybrid with brand new hd, so its not a problem [07:36] I had segate replace a few HD's for me last year. gotta love a 3yr warrenty [07:37] daniel__: a NEW Hd can die at any time also. :) It pays to have backups [07:37] i know, i copy entire disk to external hd's every mounth [07:37] daniel__: just a note,... I bought a brand new seagate which failed a month later.... just cuz it's new doesn't mean it wont fail [07:38] im not sure what the lifespan of these new SDD's are either. [07:39] i love the warranty here. it's 5 year each, så they drive from sweden with a new one and delivers it on my door next day [07:39] daniel: a few bad sectors is fine; everything is fine unless you get a popup with text in all caps or something [07:39] my old compaq is like that. but it still good with linux. but not windows.. :S [07:40] MANY block fails [07:40] so bad that the loading bar runnung, than the computer restart automaticly, and the loading bar and restart [07:40] again and again and again [07:41] lol [07:41] daniel: BAD SIGN [07:41] very bad sigh is when you are working and hear a Click-Clack-CLUNK.. and system locks up.... [07:42] i've had that happen [07:42] my last laptop [07:42] i have bad luck [07:43] some i know once got an hdd with a chipped disc and a chip with broken components to read and mount [07:43] someone* [07:43] how can i find out what device pulse audio is using on karmic please? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:45] I am unable to connect Ubuntu pc from RHEL5.1 (i am using ssh but its showing this error message "ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.6 port 22: Connection timed out") [07:47] awanti: i don't think you can connect a local device... at least not like you would a remote device [07:48] as a second OS what is best, mint or opensuse ? and what is the difference between KDE and GNOME and that stuff?

[08:08] so i dont need to go into windows and use that? in the link they told me so [08:08] rkpisanu: depends on the item.. removeing them can often be impossible. :) [08:08] i installed vlc with wine and i remove the item [08:08] Windows Vista and 7 - have tools to shrink the windows partitions from within windows. [08:08] if u dont want to ruin windows make a new partition foe uvuntu === zog_ is now known as Bankers === Bankers is now known as Bankers-own-slav [08:09] rkpisanu: wine has its own directory in the users home dir that has the users wine menu items in them.

[08:10] in windows? [08:11] daniel__: i don't know [08:11] I think wine puts its icons stuff in -> ~/.config/menus/applications-merged [08:11] daniel__: that dident make much sence to me... [08:11] ill figure it out tnx i shouldnt bother you with it too long :') [08:11] windoes vista/7 can resize windows partitions... what more is there to know? :) [08:11] anyone in here actually try the google os chrome os? [08:11] daniel__, if u dload wubi it will leave windows alone and rub ubuntu as a file but it will look just like a dual booter when u turn on the computer [08:12] daniel__: but you _do_ want to partition and not use wubi if you will be using ubuntu as your primary os [08:12] daniel__: wubi is not recommended if you want to use it as a main OS. [08:12] speaking of vlc how come the newest version is not included in the repos for 10.04 LTS [08:12] u seem too confused for partitioning now daniel__ [08:12] i had to manually install it from source code [08:12] Dwade09, #ubuntu-offtopic please [08:12] yeah. on my laptop i got the choise to install them alongside [08:12] plantsVSme: or you could have just added the vlc ppa [08:13] daniel__, you can also use FreeBSD for your boot loader which is also free and for windows you can boot load many os's off it if you want windows as your main os. [08:13] but not on the stationary [08:13] thank you bazhang [08:13] plantsVSme: it wasent ready when 10.04 came out.. thats how ubuntu does things.. updated release every 6 mo. [08:13] Dwade09, freebsd is hardly necessary, grub2 with ubuntu can do that [08:13] plantsVSme: use a PPA if you want the latest stuff [08:13] daniel__: so what is your current situation in terms of installed operating systems? [08:14] plantsVSme: because ubuntu is not a rolling distribution. Packages get much harder to update (and usually need a very good reason for it) shortly before release day. [08:14] rypervenche, he seems i dont think he is ready yet [08:14] plantsVSme-> have a look here: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/08/vlc-in-ubuntu-gets-new-ppa-and-its.html [08:14] yes bazhang but with FreeBSD if he doesnt want ubuntu anymore it wont mess his mbr up [08:14] !sru | plantsVSme [08:14] plantsVSme: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [08:14] wubi is unstable because it runs inside windows [08:15] no..

[08:16] Dr_Willis: wubi's virtual HD is 'inside' Windows (its partition) am I correct? [08:16] wubi runs inside windows - it has to [08:16] Dr_Willis: Technically it's a virtual partition inside Windows. [08:16] i have ubuntu on this and running it now. but it was easy to get it on this pc , but not on the oter if you know [08:17] but being inside windows doesn't really affect it because only a very small piece touches windows [08:17] wubi runs ubuntu as a file like any other file that sits in windows add/remove [08:17] aiuto con ubuntu [08:18] but wubi makes ubuntu look like it has been dual partitioned at boot up, its really slick [08:18] !it | Guest9382 [08:18] Guest9382: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:18] I'm pretty sure wubi doesn't need to run inside Windows (Windows doesn't boot when you use it) but I'm wondering if its virtual hard drive is within windows' partition or if it creates a separate one. [08:18] i run ubuntu as my full blown os and run vbox for windows and other linux distros just to mess with them.

[10:13] I get that unmet dependencies issue wehn I run sudo apt-get install gcc-4.1* [10:13] dont use the wildcards [10:14] oh, I was trying what Mayazcherquoi suggested [10:14] how do I know if I have OpenSSH or SSH1 or SSH2 ? [10:14] Brutal try using packet menager, not command line [10:14] a * gets expaned - may be more then what you are wanting.. [10:14] Brutal: why not 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' for starters? [10:14] Brutal: g++-4.1 is rather old. It has been dropped from Ubuntu 10.10 [10:14] build-essential installed 4.4 [10:15] maxb: oh...shit :/ [10:15] there ya go... :) [10:15] * Dr_Willis dosent keep track of gcc version #'s [10:15] guys, im new to chat, but if seen you can share files... Anyone has a powerfull comp? [10:15] apple314: Huh? [10:15] lol [10:15] o.O [10:16] My comp is ok, but cant compute fast enough [10:16] it would take to long... [10:16] so is this leading somewhere to an actual support question? [10:16] wpa handshake... [10:16] anyone interested? [10:16] not really [10:17] Im still not clear on the actual problem/goal. :) [10:17] Hi everybody! How can one determine how much memory a particular process is using? (CLI) [10:17] Ok, never mind... I ll take care of it... [10:18] minh: try to check htop [10:19] how do I know if I have OpenSSH or SSH1 or SSH2 ? [10:19] bis später [10:20] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [10:20] Diehard: alright...is there any other way, i.e. non-interactive? such as a switch to ps? [10:20] and it defaults to ssh2 by default i belive.. if thats the proper term. [10:20] well since 10.10 no longer has g++-4.1, is there anything I can do about stl_algobase.h spitting out "macro 'min' passed 3 arguements but only takes 2" short of editing the stl or the sdk I am using? [10:21] if I have an ubuntu install, and I want to try 'xubuntu', can I just install xubuntu-desktop metapackage, will that break anything? [10:21] minh: ps has dozens of options. check man ps. [10:21] (10.10) [10:21] cemc: nope it will work THen you just select xfce from the login menu [10:21] cemc: you can have both installed [10:21] I could really use some help here. X keeps crashing and there's nothing in the logs (as far as I can tell) that would indicate that something bad happened. I can make it crash just by, for example, starting Opera. Is there any other logs I should be looking at apart from Xorg.0.log ? [10:21] minh: or you could try free with a particular switch [10:22] cemc: it will ask to use GDM or whatever *DM xubuntu uses.. but it shouldne break anytying.. the menus may be a bit more cluttered however. [10:22] Dr_Willis: that's what I do right now (man ps)..i'll be back in a minute [10:22] nici, I suggest you check out your RAM [10:22] cemc: dont forget lubuntu also. :) [10:22] and kubuntu, [10:22] nici: what do you mean by crashing does it just hang? [10:22] nici, when you install ubuntu you should have a memtest option in your boot menu [10:23] Please try it and verify that your ram is working properly [10:23] nici: or download memtest, burn and boot [10:23] Diehard: memtest is built in [10:23] My bet is you have a faulty Ram chip [10:23] The memory should be fine, this started happening after I upgraded to 10.10 yesterday [10:23] nici: I would also try disabling power management [10:23] histo, Dr_Willis: thanks! [10:23] cemc: np [10:24] !thanks | cemc [10:24] nici: what graphic card do you have? [10:24] cemc: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:24] NVidia, a couple of years old [10:24] do you use official nvidia drivers? [10:24] I still recommend memtest. [10:25] nici: I had the same problem with my nvidia card. Used the latest drivers from nvidia and problem solved. Check your memory and if you get sure it's fine, try to use the latest driver [10:25] hi, I try to install Ubuntu 10.10 server amd64 via USB drive using the .iso image and the installer linked from the Ubuntu website but the install fails before partition manager with a "cd rom read error" but it doesn't show which file it can't load [10:26] DrManhattan: If that's what you recommend then I'll do it. But it still would seem a bit odd since it actually very regular. Opera start and mouseover Skype icon = crash. [10:26] Diehard: will try! thanks! [10:26] Nvidia drivers have been working well for me to [10:26] too [10:26] then that's something I'll definitly have to check out [10:27] histo: xorg dies and I'm back to the login screen [10:27] DrManhattan: I have always problem with my nvidia drivers. After kernel updates, startx just cant start because of failed driver. Everytime I have "reinstall" the driver. [10:28] nici: that seems to be more complicated problem than ram or gp problem [10:28] Hi! I cannot update my Ubuntu installation anymore. apt (or aptitude or update-manager) fail to update the system because some package seems to contain an illegeal character. I've had that error for about two weeks now. I guess its already fixed in the repository - is there a way to tell apt to reload the whole package information? [10:29] nici: maybe some upgrade fail [10:29] http://nopaste.info/a7d5a5db76.html [10:29] do you install the nvidia driver manually or use the ubuntu driver installer === Brutal is now known as Brutalis [10:29] Diehard, [10:29] DrManhattan: manually via .deb package [10:30] e cineva pe aici? [10:30] DrManhattan: uh .. not deb .. .run package [10:30] hi! [10:30] welcome [10:30] Diehard, when you use that .run from Nvidia you're going to have to deal with the whole 'reinstall every time I upgrade the kernel' issue [10:30] ne-am tras umbutu si-am ieshit pe centru? [10:31] DrManhattan: so you recommend? [10:31] i get this error from ubuntu 10.1 32 bit software center when im trying to install the bonus-bleachbit.deb package : There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. can someone please help me ? [10:31] Diehard: yeah, I guess I might end up reinstalling ubuntu from scratch... hope not though [10:31] Diehard, yes, I recommend the ubuntu installer. [10:31] DrManhattan: i have done it via hardware drivers. this way, the nvidia drivers which have been tested throughly on ubuntu are only installed. otherwise, the latest driver would be installed without testing whether it works properly or not [10:32] rigved, thats why I went about it with the ubuntu installer [10:32] Diehard, Dr_Willis: alright...thank you both very much...I'm quite satisfied with ps axo pid,pmem,cmd|grep some process [10:32] hell even in windows the Nvidia WHQL drivers screw up sometimes [10:32] wow, thats a name I havent seen in a long time [10:33] I wonder whatever happened to gangrel the wrassler [10:33] "do_IRQ: 0.64 No irq handler for vector (irq -1)" does the 0.64 in that message have a specific meaning? [10:33] thats right .. but I liek to keep updated with it. However .. run the installer once a month is not such a problem [10:33] DrManhattan hey there :) [10:33] so, installing NVidia drivers via the .run file is a bad idea or not? [10:33] DrManhattan: i think the windows drivers are not whql. but i am not too sure. [10:33] nici: looks like bad one [10:33] crap [10:34] how do i "Boot the kernel with the pci=noacpi option", ubuntu 10.04 [10:35] nici: new one relaeased a month ago [10:35] for my card .. gonna try [10:35] Okay, I found the solution by myself (sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/available && sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/available) - thx anyway! [10:35] hello everybody [10:36] frosch: youre welcome [10:36] Hi, guys what is the easiest way to control an ubuntu machine on the local area network? [10:37] for desktop i guess VNC [10:37] nilsma: its best to use the package manager. [10:37] Syria: controll via what other pc/os? [10:37] o_O packagemanager can do thta? I just edut grub.cfg [10:37] Daghdha: Vnc is to slow. [10:37] vnc is multi platform solution [10:37] Syria: esiest way is using ssh [10:37] or try teamviewer [10:37] i used to clean up temps, uninstall packages, sources and defrag my windows drive to keep it fast, do i have to do the same in my ubuntu? is there a doccument how to? [10:37] Dr_Willis: By another machine working on ubuntu as well. [10:37] and vnc is standard part of ubuntu innit? [10:38] Dr_Willis: indeed, thanks :) [10:38] Syria: if you want a real fast viewer for the x-server use nx, its the fastest thing out there :) [10:38] well, it looks like gangrel the wrassler has become a director of porno films. Best of luck to him [10:38] Syria: but nx cant append to a running session, nx is opening a new session [10:38] Syria: if you can see the other pc's monitor. you can use synegery and use 1 keyboard/mouse to controll other pcs [10:38] iceroot: Is it easy to use nx ? [10:38] how to fix screen resolution with nouveau drivers and 10.10? [10:39] i get this error from ubuntu 10.1 32 bit software center when im trying to install the bonus-bleachbit.deb package : There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. can someone please help me ? [10:39] Syria: if you want to access their desktop and let the others see/share it.. vnc/vino is the way to do that. [10:39] Syria: its easy to use but not so easy to install :) [10:39] !off-topic | DrManhattan [10:39] DrManhattan: #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! [10:39] Syria: nx lets you have a remote desktop session also. but on a local lan. You can do that with just X also if you wanted to. nx is good for over the internet and other insecure setups. [10:39] Dr_Willis: No I don't them to see what is happening, this is not tmportant. [10:40] how do I get a nested login window on Ubuntu? i've seen it in other distros, ive googled it, but I cant seem to get it on 10.10 [10:40] Syria: you an make a vnc session that uses a minimal window maanger/desktop and have decent speeds on a local lan. [10:40] iceroot: Do you know where i can find a good guide for installing nx please? [10:40] Syria: or nx. then if you want to try nx. [10:40] Syria: or you can just 'ssh -X remotebox' and run whatver gui apps you need. [10:41] Syria: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [10:41] the freenx docs last i checked.. were a bit.. confuseing.. that was a few mo back. Hope they have been updated. === _Nertil is now known as Nertil [10:41] i used to clean up temps, uninstall packages, sources and defrag my windows drive to keep it fast, do i have to do the same in my ubuntu? [10:41] Syria: ssh -X is ok over the lan and very easy but the performance is not very nice. with ssh -X you can start x-applications from another machine on your pc [10:42] wendico: for the most part. No. [10:42] i feel it is getting slower and slwer, specially at boot time [10:42] I have installed ubuntu 10.10 within windows. I installed it in D: drive. How can i access files within D: Drive of windows from ubuntu ? [10:42] Dr_Willis: iceroot Thank you very much guys, I will start testing now. :) [10:43] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:natesm/ease [10:43] command not ffound [10:43] i get this error from ubuntu 10.1 32 bit software center when im trying to install the bonus-bleachbit.deb package : There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. can someone please help me ? [10:44] may i be referred to a page for common speed-up tweaks? are they some i can trust? i feel my ubuntu is getting to slow, specially at boot time [10:44] daxy_kor: you are installing bonus-bleachbit from the repo or from a local deb-file? [10:45] I have installed ubuntu 10.10 within windows. I installed it in D: drive. How can i access files within D: Drive of windows from ubuntu ? [10:45] iceroot: i had installed bleachbit from software center. but not for extra-bonus package i must download it manually the deb package because it is not on software center. [10:46] daxy_kor: i saw a forum thread on that topic. I forget what the fix was.. but it wasent too hard. [10:46] daxy_kor: sudo dpkg -i your-deb-file [10:46] daxy_kor: paste the output from that command please if there are errors [10:46] bleachbit is such a useless program from a security/forensics standpoint. [10:46] daxy_kor: dont use software center. try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [10:46] to clean up its nice, but it sucks for wiping files [10:47] iceroot: http://textsnip.com/e10ccb [10:47] daxy_kor: then try installing that package by hand. 'sudo dpkg -i whatver.deb' [10:47] !info bonus-bleachbit [10:47] Package bonus-bleachbit does not exist in maverick [10:47] mtx_init: is useless which deletes about 400 mb on my ubuntu ? ok. [10:47] daxy_kor: seems like its a package-error [10:48] can i see properties of my partitions with the file browser? [10:48] Is there a way to somehow check as much of the installation for missing/damaged files? My harddrive had a hickup and now it seems some of the entries in the menu are in english, f.ex.. [10:48] daxy_kor: sure, but don't trust it to delete your files. It is not very good at that [10:48] iceroot: is the problem about my system or blechbit s problem ? [10:48] daxy_kor: there is a .svn dir in the deb and the preinst/postinst cant handle it [10:48] daxy_kor: i would say its a bleachbit problem [10:49] mtx_init: bleachbit is now %100 properly :) [10:49] daxy_kor: properly what? [10:49] mtx_init:sorry i mean secure... [10:50] daxy_kor: It's not. But do as you like [10:50] I don't care [10:50] mtx_init: it removes simple files. like ccleaner on wi ndows. i use it as sudo for 4-5 mounts and i never face any problem... [10:50] daxy_kor: That certainly does not mean it is secure. [10:51] mtx_init: yes but you can see what it deletes. that is why i can trust it. anyway i don't care too :) [10:51] what is this a derp contest [10:51] wendico: what properties? You can right click on many of them and select properties/details and get info [10:52] !chroot [10:52] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [10:53] Dr_willis: i can see my partitions as folders, i want to see for example how much big a partition is but i can only see the free space of the partition by selecting a folder mounted in that partition [10:53] anyone tried to create an installer for Ubuntu server amd64 10.10 using "Universal USB Installer" on a USB drive on Windows? [10:53] daxy_kor: I was simply extending a warning that it in itself is not a good measure to ensure your system is sanitary. [10:53] the resulting installer does not start - it stops before the partitioning with a read error [10:53] wendico: in the file manager at the left side. you can right click on them and get some info. [10:54] wendico: or at the top in the 'path bar thing' you can right click and get some info also. [10:54] hello [10:54] anyone into public key auth ? [10:54] "Mem: 890984k total, 881704k used, 9280k free, 13384k buffers" Is it strange that when i have that little free memory swap isn't used? [10:54] is it possible to hide some icons from "My Computer"? [10:55] or better, to show only the mounted partitions? [10:55] Daghdha: no a lot could be cache [10:55] Is there a way to somehow check as much of the installation(packages?) as possible for missing/damaged files? My harddrive had a hickup, fsck solved it but now it seems some of the entries in the menu are in english, f.ex.. [10:56] Daghdha: look at 'free' on the cli [10:56] But i only have a "File System" y do not see my partitions, i know i have two, one mounted / and other one mounted /home but neither on the panel nor on the toolbar i can find the partition itself. Clicking properties in /home does not give me any partition details, only the free space [10:56] Slartibart: debsums should do the jobs [10:56] Slartibart: also "dpkg -l | grep -v ii" [10:57] oh half of it is buffers [10:57] iceroot: Ok? Will do. Thanks :) [10:58] Daghdha: of my 3.3G mem 2.9G is used of which 1.4G is cache :) [10:58] Trying to find why my ethernet keeps breaking, thouhgt maybe it ranout of memory :P [10:58] Daghdha: unlikely [10:58] mtx_init: now i open bleachbit. i can see on the gui: adobe reader cache,ost recent used list, temp files, amsn: chat logs, amules logs, audacious logs most recent used, apt autoclean (which we use everytime on terminal) , bash : history ... you think it is problem to delete them ? they are so so simple files. don't forget also we can unselect a feature anytime we don't want it (or we don't trust). [10:58] ethernet uses very little, nothing in /var/log/messages? [10:59] no IRQ handler for vector seems to be related to it dieing [10:59] used to ask for log-in & password....now after using public key auth....it is asking for log-in & passsphrase !! [10:59] isnt it not supposed to ask for anything ? [10:59] the thing is, OS doesn't realize. ifconfig looks ok. It just doesn't work anymore. [10:59] how do I get a nested login window on Ubuntu? i've seen it in other distros, ive googled it, but I cant seem to get it on 10.10 [11:00] anygivenname: the passphrase is the one which you set when you have created the key [11:01] Shadow_X: clarify what you mean. You mean 2 Seperate X sessions going at the same time? [11:01] anygivenname: it is required to sign or encrypt etc. using the respective keys [11:01] rigved: I know but it is not supposed to ask for it [11:02] \list [11:02] anygivenname: my evolution always ask me for it when i try to sign a e-mail. is this not default behaviour? [11:02] Dr_Willis, I mean like i've seen in other distros. where you are in your current session (gnome for instance), click the menu option (usually "new login window"), and a new window launches, housing the login screen in it, with the ability to log into a totally different X session through this window [11:03] Shadow_X: you could do it from the console i recall.. but not noticed that feature since the move to gdm2. [11:03] Shadow_X: i notice that the KDE logout diaog here has 'start a parallel session as a new user' thats the same thing i belive. [11:04] its called 'switch user' [11:04] I can't seem to get adobe flash player 10 installed, I view it in the software center and it says it's available from the maverick partner source, I click use this source - nothing happens. [11:04] Dr_Willis, yea I think thats the same. havent seen that one so I cant be certain. but I was just wondering if theres an easy way to get it going [11:04] When i do a massive copy, it always dies [11:04] rigved: all public auth sites says vice versa [11:04] Daghdha: what is your problem? your network keeps disconection? [11:05] anygivenname: hmmm [11:05] i dont know why, my wifi stops working after few hours, only reboot turns it back on [11:05] I get "cdrom-retriever: error: Unable to find 'pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.udeb'" while trying to install Ubuntu server amd64 10.10 - on the ISO there is only a "\pool\main\l\linux\fs-secondary-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.ude" <-- see the different file name? [11:06] Yes wendico. But not disconnecting, just not working anymore. It logs: do_IRC: 0.64 No IRQ handler for vector (irc -1) [11:06] yes thats what happend, stops working [11:07] it looks like all file name are cut off after 83 characters [11:08] since only happends after some hours working i havent take a look yet, im trying to solve other issues [11:08] wendico do: cat /var/log/syslog | grep do_IRQ [11:08] see if the entries coincide with your 'wifi deaths' [11:08] hi [11:08] When i do a massive transfer it's just a matter of time, could be seconds or minutes, butit will die. [11:09] Daghdha: grep do_IRQ /var/log/syslog would work too, wendico [11:09] i runned the command [11:09] where i see the log? [11:09] <- noob [11:10] wendico: what command [11:11] this cat /var/log/syslog | grep do_IRQ [11:11] prints the output to the terminal [11:11] if no output.. nothing matched [11:11] how to fix screen resolution with nouveau drivers and 10.10? [11:11] now i should see syslog to find something? im too noob in ubuntu [11:12] cat /var/log/syslog prints the syslog file to the terminal. [11:12] what does man ssh mean ? [11:12] grep serches for a patten. [11:12] anygivenname: its how you read the 'man' pages for a command. [11:12] Is it possible to install gtk-doc from a ubuntu repo? [11:13] 'man ssh' => shoes the ssh man page. [11:13] can someone help me setup sound please? [11:13] am using lubuntu 10.10 [11:13] Is it possible to install gtk-doc from a ubuntu repo? [11:14] did u do your updates themaddestnomad [11:14] wendico: I was just curious if you had similar entries as me. 'network dies' is obviously a pretty generic problem that could have tons of causes. Our sympthoms maybe similar but the cause is most likely completely different :) [11:15] Diverdude: if it is in the repos (apt-cache search will tell you) then of course [11:15] im looking at the log to see if i can understand anything xd [11:16] every tool I try (7zip, winrar, total commander) shows that the file names in the ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso are damaged [11:16] MatthiasM: md5check is ok? [11:16] does Ubuntu unmount NTFS partition before shutdown or do I have to unmount them manually before shutdown? [11:16] MatthiasM: you can mount an iso via the mount command also... [11:16] karthick87: its doing it at shutdown [11:16] iceroot: yes, I downloaded it 2 times and verified the checksum [11:17] MatthiasM: and you mounted the iso then? or tried to extract it? [11:17] Dr_Willis: I want to install ununtu on a new PC, currenmtly I only have a virtual ubuntu which can't access my usb drive [11:17] iceroot: I tried to make an USB installer as explained on the ubuntu website === oCean_ is now known as oCean === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje [11:19] MatthiasM: virtualbox from the vbox homepage can access usb devices [11:19] MatthiasM: or other tools can make a bootable usb flash drive. [11:20] Dr_Willis: it should - but it failed with some driver issue [11:20] how to run a terminal process in background? [11:20] AbhiJit: command & [11:20] AbhiJit: command & === stoned420 is now known as g0tcha [11:20] AbhiJit: check bash job control guides [11:20] jrib, Dr_Willis thank you [11:20] Dr_Willis, yah [11:20] Dr_Willis: the issue is that I tried several tools which can extract ISO files and all show that the file names are cut off after 83 characters [11:21] MatthiasM, why exactly do you need to extract iso? [11:21] Daghdha: yes the problem seems diferent i dont have your message log, i have the following loged many times whene wifi stops working: "failed to wakeup the MAC Chip" and "can't reset hardware" [11:22] brontoeee: to put it on an USB drive - I used http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe as linked from http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download [11:22] AbhiJit: hi, Why acting as n00b? [11:22] pksadiq, ?? [11:22] MatthiasM: why do you need to extract them? theres tools that can donload/verify the iso's [11:22] i think usb makers should just take iso as input, so you do not need to do any 'manual' extraction [11:22] MatthiasM: check the PenDrivelinux web site for such tools. [11:23] brontoeee: there are some disrtos with ISO files that you can just dd to a flash drive and they work.. but not ubuntui. [11:23] Dr_Willis: that's what I did - and the resulting USb installer is corrupt because the file names are cut off (too long!) [11:23] MatthiasM: what tool did you use? try a differnt one.. thers several of them. and check the md5sums [11:24] Dr_Willis: I tried 7zip, total commander and winrar - either all these tools have the same bug (unlikely) or the ISO is damaged / out of spec [11:24] I set up grub2 on a pendrive. I just boot it and use teh iso file [11:24] i think the usb-creator provided by ubuntu is your best bet - assuming one is trying to install ubuntu on it [11:24] plantsVSme: and that one is failing [11:24] MatthiasM: Noo,, try OTHER tools taht make the iso onto a flash drive.. .. one that can download/verifuy the iso would be best. [11:24] MatthiasM: its possible the iso is damaged. [11:24] Dr_Willis: can you give me a link? [11:25] MatthiasM: the pendrivelinux web site has several. [11:25] MatthiasM did you try unetbootin? [11:25] thers unetbootin, lilo, pendrivelinux;s own variants. and proberly 4+ others... [11:25] actually its lili :) [11:26] hello,I compiled qemu-kvm, and then run with "qemu-system-x86_64 -hda xp.img". It just outputs "VNC server running on `::1:5900'",and nothing happen! what's up? [11:27] hi everyone, i'm using Pidgin to connect to my Yahoo account but i can't send/receive any files. help please? [11:27] i have 10.10 and latest pidgin installed [11:27] hkuieagle: connect to the vnc session? [11:27] Dr_Willis, what does that mean, what can I do? [11:27] vnc session localhost:1 i think is what that message is saying [11:27] use the remote desktop tool or a vnccliebnt and connect to localhost:1 [11:28] or localhost:0 [11:28] Dr_Willis, It works with the qemu-kvm from repository. [11:29] anyone, help? [11:29] "VNC server running on `::1:5900'" tells me theres a vnc session now running on localhost (::1) on port (5900) that would be localhost:0 for a vncclient to connect to,, No idea on qemu/kvm. [11:29] yossarian, have you also sought help from pidgin support channel? [11:29] yossarian, you can use aim, i've used it don't know about yahoo === lin_ is now known as Neww === Neww is now known as New1 [11:30] Dr_Willis, yes, it works with VNC, but how to display jsut HERE not through vnc? === New1 is now known as NewOne [11:30] i will ask in #pidgin :) [11:30] hkuieagle: no idea. I dont use qemu/kvm [11:30] Is it safe to shutdown computer without unmounting ntfs partitions ? [11:31] karthick87: i told you already [11:31] iceroot: thankyou [11:31] can you even vnc to localhost? [11:31] doesn't that cause a recursive effect? [11:32] Like filming a TV your displaying on what you are filming? [11:32] hi there [11:32] Daghdha, yes, not my host machine, its guest [11:32] I just have a little problem after upgrading to maverick,could anyone help me?is that the right place? [11:34] I'm getting that error "Error autorunning software : can't find the autorun program" [11:37] hey guys i m having problem with audacious after upgrading to 10.10 [11:39] upgrading isn't a good idea [11:40] I get "Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: invalid ELF header" when starting some programs. I haven't found any packages named exactly like that, gtk-2.0 or something, so how can I find which package I should be reinstalling? [11:41] Slartibart, i guess gtk-engines-murrine [11:41] cow on [11:43] By following this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet) guide to install ubuntu whit netboot i get "error 13 : Invalid or unsupported executable format" when entering "kernel /boot/linux" in the grub [11:43] koolio: Thanks, but it doesn't exist for me :(. Do I have to add some repository to get it? [11:44] is it the linux file in here i should use? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ [11:44] !find libmurrine.so [11:44] File libmurrine.so found in gtk2-engines-murrine, ia32-libs [11:46] ah, ia32-libs found, guess that's the one for me then. Thanks both :) [11:46] argh, wine needs it.. [11:47] Hello, can you tell me, how can I save the list of installed packages in file for installing that packages on the new system (if I'm right, there is such feature in the synaptic)? [11:47] anyone familiar with Dell's PERC raid controller that can chat with me offline so I can see if I have these drives set up right? [11:47] hi. "ls" wont work in shell ftp... is there a different command in ftp to list the directory? [11:48] try "dir" [11:48] og list [11:48] dir and list don't work [11:48] 500 I won't open a connection to xxx [11:48] metapeter: both ls and dir should work if you are using "ftp" on ubuntu [11:49] 500 I won't open a connection to 10.0.2.15 (only to 192.168.1.10) [11:49] What the.. =s.. I did sudo apt-get remove ia32-libs wine and then sudo apt-get install ia32-libs wine. But I still get "Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: Invalid ELF header"?? [11:50] Heya All [11:50] Slartibart: seeing as how that file is not owned by either of those packages, that's not too surprising [11:51] plantsVSme: Dr_Willis: unetbootin has the same issue [11:51] Hi there. I'm trying to install Ubuntu as a second os. Usually there's an option "Shrink existing partition and install Ubuntu there", but right now I cannot see that option. What can be the reason? Ubuntu 10.04 [11:51] jrib: Fair enough if so.. But a few lines up libmurrine.so was found in ia32-libs? [11:51] Slartibart, try reinstalling that package, instead of removing it [11:51] ok [11:52] Slartibart: well that's /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so though [11:52] Slartibart, not the wine package, but gtk2-engines-murrine [11:52] MatthiasM dont know if youve been asked this before - but did you try the manual way i.e extracting the iso to the usb etc etc ? [11:52] !find libmurrine [11:52] File libmurrine found in gtk2-engines-murrine, ia32-libs [11:52] MatthiasM: you did verify the isop files md5sum? [11:52] koolio: gtk2-engines-murrine can't be found here though, do I have to add some repository first? [11:52] MatthiasM: if you did that too- its probably a bad iso - try diferent server [11:53] hi, i have a log file, need some one to help me to look through to find out what is the problem with my system. it keep hanging [11:53] thanks a millions [11:53] Slartibart: what ubuntu version is this? [11:53] jrib: 10.04 [11:53] hi [11:53] solved it .... had to go in passive mode to ls in ftp... apparently i can't list in active mode... [11:53] Dr_Willis: where can I find the md5 checksums - I downloaded the ISO 2 times from http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download and both had the same check sum [11:53] !md5 [11:53] 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 [11:53] Slartibart: pastebin: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy gtk2-engines-murrine [11:53] Slartibart, hmm that's weird, i don't know if murrine is installed by default ... probably some package left the file there, in that case you can safely remove the problematic file yourself using "sudo rm file" [11:53] plantsVSme: yes, I tried with 7zip, total commander and winrar - all show the same error [11:54] MatthiasM: so you use unetbootin, boot the flash drive. and what ha0p0pends exactly? [11:54] Dr_Willis: cdrom-retriever: error: Unable to find 'pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.udeb' [11:54] Dr_Willis: the file on the usb drive is: g:\pool\main\l\linux\fs-secondary-modules-2.6.35-22-generic-di_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.ude [11:54] Slartibart, what's the size of that file? is it 0 bytes? [11:54] one sec [11:55] MatthiasM - the thing is if youre unable to extract the iso or get any error when extracting the error it must be the fle so your problem is not the usb creators [11:55] iso * no error [11:55] hi hi, i need help with my crashing system [11:56] plantsVSme: yes - that what I assume - the .iso is damaged - but I don't get an error on extract - just cut off file names [11:57] jrib: http://pastebin.com/F76RUVQz In swedish, but "bra" should be ok in english version I guess [11:57] koolio: Checking filesize now [11:58] Slartibart: so you shouldn't have a problem finding gtk2-engines-murrine [11:58] Slartibart, ok [12:00] koolio: 582541 bytes [12:00] jrib: But why do I get these errors about libmurrine.so then? [12:01] Slartibart: what are you doing when you get these warnings? [12:01] Slartibart, ok so it's not empty, but it is really broken, but in case you don't have gtk2-engines-murrine package installed, you should be safe to simply remove the file so GTK2 doesn't try to load it [12:01] Slartibart, i guess that file is some leftover from something you already uninstalled [12:01] jrib: I type gedit in a terminal window [12:02] Slartibart: md5sum /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so [12:03] Slartibart: when do you get the error? while opening which application? === karthick87 is now known as karthick87\ === karthick87\ is now known as karthick === karthick is now known as karthick87 [12:06] anybody around to help??

That way you can just use a text editor [12:18] airtonix: what do you mean? [12:19] Hi! What is the command-line command for getting the installation status of a package? I want to type something like "apt-cache showstatus " and have it return " is not yet installed" or " is already installed" or something. [12:19] Cars10, depending on what you need there are different methods [12:19] learner, consider this: http://code.google.com/intl/cs-CZ/speed/public-dns/ [12:19] well. they just save, right? doesn't mean I can do anything with a file. or where is it stored in this case. [12:19] Quick question. I just plugged in a USB drive and It's not auto mounting but the usb stick light is on [12:19] gryllida: try it and see [12:19] anyone have an Idea what could be going on?? [12:19] airtonix: i dont know any of them and therefor i need help [12:19] gryllida: read the "Using iptables-save/restore to test rules" section [12:20] Cars10, but if you can set your guest virtual machine settings to use Bridged Networking instead of the default "NAT" then you can treat the guest OS as if it were another machine on your local network [12:20] airtonix: I need to grant myself admin rights to the domain controller ? [12:20] jrib. the iptables-save output something directly to terminal. but it didn't say where these lines are saved. ok I will bang the doc one more time, hopefully it'll help. [12:20] I was asking about just 1 path actually, odd you don't know it. [12:20] DarkStar1: happens to me from time to time; sometimes I end up mounting it manually, or pull-and-plug-in-again (but I bet you tried that already)... [12:20] gryllida: what path? [12:20] to the config. [12:20] gryllida: I answered this question. [12:21] R3dINK, and where is the domain controller server ? [12:21] airtonix: yes i done that and i can ping it, but i dunno wich programs to install to get it running [12:21] gryllida: "there isn't one by default" [12:21] kwtm: Well... tried once more for your benefit [12:21] pksadiq:I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 then while trying to lunch eclipse "IDE", I get this error :"Error autorunning software : can't find the autorun program" [12:21] airtonix: virtually hosted [12:21] Cars10, what os is the host ?

There's also iptables-persistent in the repositories that just loads some file at boot [12:23] DarkStar1: It is (just type "lsusb"), but I don't know if it will work. I just tried it.

[12:24] Tuzlo: might be Nickserv [12:24] DarkStar1: Maybe "mount" might help. [12:24] kwtm: Thanks. It's a registered device on the system. which must mean that the file system on the disk must be corrupted [12:24] DarkStar1: (in case it did automount but doesn't show). [12:25] DarkStar1: Oh dear. Can you get it to work on a different computer? [12:25] kwtm: Not yet tried.

[12:35] Exploiter, use netstat -nalp|grep pid [12:35] thats it [12:36] <_MadWolf_> DarkStar1: yes, it's a router at work, I don't have root access on it... I can ping all other computers (192.168.1.x) except the router (192.168.1.1) [12:36] I have set up a server on ubuntu 10.04 with apache and mysql and php [12:36] !lamp | adripop [12:36] adripop: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [12:36] but i found that i've webDAV open [12:36] <_MadWolf_> it's some Cisco hardware... is ti possible that it only accepts Windows? [12:37] !enter | adripop [12:37] adripop: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:37] _MadWolf_: the router is probably configured to drop ping packets. Also I do even if they're internal [12:37] in order to make my wifi work, i have to turn on my computer, push the notebook wifi button and then restart the computer. any ideas on how to diagnose or solve this problem? [12:37] <_MadWolf_> DarkStar1: I can ping it if I boot into windows, o problem [12:37] delinom, you can start with more details... [12:38] ok, i keep it clean I have set up a server on ubuntu 10.04 with apache and mysql and php, but i found that i've webDAV open, how i can i find what's opening webdav ? [12:39] _MadWolf_: Now that's odd [12:40] adripop: presumably you enabled dav_fs and dav modules for apache? How are you determining that webdav is open? [12:40] _MadWolf_ thats not ur hardware, you can ping internal ip addresses? [12:40] my brasero disc burner closes right after splash screen, anyone had something similar [12:40] _MadWolf_: I'l check the man page for ping.. a sec [12:40] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: yes, I can ping for ex 192.168.1.161 (a different computer on internal LAN) [12:40] i test it by try to connect from a webdav client just by typing the IP [12:41] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: but I can't ping 192.168.1.1 ... but only from Ubuntu, it works from Windows [12:41] actually i remove the link of the dav file from mods-enabled [12:41] <_MadWolf_> but not only ping, I have no access to it... it doesn't work as a gateway, no internet access [12:41] and still i can't find anything in the only sites-enabled config file [12:41] _MadWolf_ whats ur gateway address? type: ip route [12:41] thanks for replying, airtonix. i have an acer notebook running xubuntu 10.10 64-bit (and windows). when i turn the computer on and run xubuntu, wifi won't work (as if there were no wifi networks available), and pushing the wifi button doesn't do anything. however, if i push the button and then restart the computer, wifi will work perfectly (as it is right now). so i have to turn on my computer and then restart it everyti [12:41] me. any ideas? [12:42] _MadWolf_ if internal pings wont work nothing will [12:42] adripop: did you restart apache? Dav isn't enabled by default, that has to be something you enabled [12:42] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: just a sec, I'll boot into Ubuntu [12:42] yes i've restarted it already [12:42] adripop: if you stop apache, can you still connect with the webdav client? [12:43] _MadWolf_ no problem.. check your ip address and gateway with: ip address + ip route commands === lin_ is now known as NewOne [12:43] i tryied, and no if apache is off, i can't connect [12:44] adripop: ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ [12:44] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: ip route output: 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.148 metric 1 [12:44] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: and... [12:44] _MadWolf_ Thats your problem [12:44] well i can tell you also apache2ctl -M [12:44] change your gateway to 192.168.1.1 [12:44] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 [12:45] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 proto static [12:45] _MadWolf_ your not getting an ip address from ur gateway since its not the correct address.. thats why it starts with 169 [12:45] hello.. i`m new to linux and i have a problem.. installed ubuntu 10.10 (in dual boot with win xp - on separate HDD) and i can`t boot on any of them...any ideeas? PS: i switched from bios boot priority - i tried to install grub from ubuntu live CD. [12:45] Dropje^: isn't the default his gateway address? [12:45] where do i give you the output ? [12:45] adripop: paste.ubuntu.com [12:45] ok found [12:46] DarkStar: yes ur right my bad.. [12:46] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: I have my gateway as 192.168.1.1 [12:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/527592/ [12:46] _MadWolf_ are you using a static ip or one assigned by DHCP? [12:46] hi there [12:47] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: static, there's no dhcp on the network [12:47] is there any app that can be used to find out why my harddisk is busying ? [12:47] CooKieMonster: iotop? [12:47] _MadWolf_ then why is ur ip address 169? can't be if configured static [12:47] what is iotop ? [12:47] would anyone of you show me his his md5sum of ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso [12:47] thanks [12:47] !md5sums | dpecka [12:47] dpecka: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [12:47] CooKieMonster: top for io-operations [12:48] jrib: thank you [12:48] what disc burner do you use [12:48] _MadWolf_ even if theres something wrong with your router etc etc static ip addresses force an ip, thats why its not possible to get a 169 address.. you will get that if you have DHCP enabled but your DHCP server won't give you one [12:49] Dropje^: it can if he's behind any sort of router or whatnot [12:49] can it be used to monitor what causes the harddisk continuously reading and writing ? [12:49] brosero doesn't work on my box [12:49] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: it's not, it's 192.168.1.148, I don't know where this 169 is coming from... ifconfig doesn't say [12:49] CooKieMonster: yes [12:49] i need to create audio cd from my mp3 [12:49] _MadWolf_ use ip address instead of ifconfig -a [12:49] any1? [12:49] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: ifconfig says that eth0 id 192.168.1.148 [12:50] _MadWolf_ and what does ip address say? [12:50] Dropje^: ip route gives his source as a 192 address also [12:50] so he has an assigned ip [12:50] jrib any guess, i can't seem to find where does it enables DAV [12:51] _MadWolf_: show us output from: `ip a; ip r` .. use some pastebin [12:51] _MadWolf_ what happens if you ping to 192.168.1.148 (local address) === ng_ is now known as NG_ [12:51] is there any app that can be used to find out which ip my pc is now connected ? [12:51] <_MadWolf_> ok, just a sec [12:52] CooKieMonster, network manager applet? [12:52] Is there any way to create a bootable USB of WINDOWS Operating systems in UBUNTU? [12:52] CooKieMonster: you want the public-ip because you are behind a router? [12:52] adripop: nope, try #htppd [12:53] adripop: nope, try #httpd [12:53] Cyber_Beast: Sorry, Windows doesn't support it. [12:53] Hi, please help. I have installed winxp at Virtual Box. Can some one help me to how to save a file on USB? [12:53] ok jrib , thx for the help [12:53] larrylamsy: only the nonfree version of vbox can usb [12:53] Cyber_Beast: You mean use Ubuntu to make windows? You'd need a copy of windows first, no? Or do you mean take a disk that has windows and make it bootable via usb? [12:53] Hello all [12:53] _MadWolf_: or use my script: http://pastebin.ca/1984378 [12:54] iceroot , i want to know how many connection has been established and their ip [12:54] larrylamsy: yeah,... the virtualbox from the ubuntu repos don't support usb [12:54] CooKieMonster: netstat [12:54] eg. `$do_some_action | _pastebin.pl $opts` [12:54] CooKieMonster: Netstat [12:54] iceroot , i can't find iotop [12:54] CooKieMonster: sudo apt-get install iotop [12:54] kwtm: yes [12:55] larrylamsy: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads <-----for USB support [12:55] hey guys, i've got ubuntu on my machine and i just installed windows 7, so it boots into windows 7, how would i install grub again? i'm sure someone mentioned i'd have to boot from livecd but i dont know where my live cd is; can i install grub without having to download iso again? [12:56] <_MadWolf_> dpecka: it's difficult because I have no internet access on the ubuntu computer [12:56] hi there, I'm having an unusual problem and don't know how to fix it, I'm using the pear package XML_Serializer, in may development machine, a mac with PHP 5.3.2 (cli) everything works fine, then when I upload the code to the server an ubuntu 10.04 with PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) then it just don't work, only with including the class I get internal server errors, any ideas on how to fix it? :( [12:56] nstate only show the source ip not the destination [12:56] Cyber_Beast: I wonder if there's a way to do it through grub. If you have multiboot on your computer (ie. multiple partitions not counting any external USB drives), when you boot it, the Grub menu will show up saying "which OS do you want to boot?" (typically happens with Ubuntu, which lets you boot to safe mode, etc.) At that point if you press "c", I think you get a command line. You can then issue a command "ignore all this [12:56] and boot from external USB drive instead". Not sure if details --sorry. [12:56] thanks, collabra. I would go and try that. Thanks. [12:56] larrylamsy: Np [12:57] floodbot, if you accuse me of spamming, I am going to say some nasty things. [12:57] _MadWolf_: Save it to a text file and send it to me. I'll pastebin it for you [12:57] craiggles, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [12:57] /server www.maghrebchat.eu 7777 [12:58] dwarder, if you are still looking for a burner look up k3b [12:58] Cyber_Beast: did you install win 7 after windows? [12:58] Cyber_Beast: Linux* not windows [12:58] larrylamsy: to install the ,deb file i think all you have to do is click on it,... or open a terminal and type: sudo gdebi [12:59] I need help starting a project using bazaar with lauchpad [12:59] Everyone: Sorry guys, I couldn't reply because I was on important phone. [13:00] Hi collabra, I actually wanted to save a words or ppt.file on USB while using WinXP at Virtual Box in Ubuntu. I did not means to download a virtual box on USB. [13:00] Please help. [13:00] i dont know how to setup bazaar nor how to link my code on local sources to the lauchpad page [13:00] imo you need guest additions to that larrylamsy [13:01] anyone? [13:01] larrylamsy: are you saying you can't download virtualbox from the website,... or, what? [13:01] ubuntu 8.04 is called hardy ? [13:01] blueglasses, please ask on one line next time. [13:01] I can use WinXp and its MS Office. I created a file and the system does not recognise my USB. [13:01] kwtm: I am on dual boot, WIndows 7 Ultimate x64 + Ubuntu 10.10 x32 ... It is pretty annoying to shutdown and boot into windows just because I want to make a bootable usb of a windows 7. .. Which gives me a freeware into a windows named "WinToUsb"... I just wondered is there any way to do the same through ubuntu [13:02] blueglasses, I suggest googling for a tutorial [13:02] How to install Ubuntu on my Playstation 3? [13:02] done that [13:02] too much time [13:02] larrylamsy, you need to mount the pen drive as a shared partition or something of the sort [13:02] dpecka: could it be _MadWolf_ iptable is blocking outgoing ICMP requests? [13:02] karthick87, you can't if it is updated [13:03] karthick87, if it is a thin, then it can't do it even if it is not upgraded [13:03] How to mount? [13:03] hmm [13:03] n3rV3: thanks [13:03] Dropje^: doesn't explain why he can ping everything else on the subnet except the gateway [13:03] I am sorry that I am new to Linux. [13:03] Cyber_Beast: I see, you want to create that USB bootable disk. THen I would say no: even if Ubuntu programmers somehow were granted permission to use Windows, I don't see any reason they would work on a Windows program. [13:04] larrylamsy, we were all new once [13:04] dwarder, np [13:04] larrylamsy: It doesn't support USB because you are using the ubuntu virtualbox....it does not support usb.... But, if you download virtualbox from the website,... usb will be enabled and you will be able to use usb devices. [13:04] Cyber_Beast: It's rather like saying, "How can I use my Windows computer to create an installation disk for Mac OS?" or "How can I call British Airways to buy me a Lufthansa plane ticket?" [13:04] It seems that Virtual is virtual not real and so it does not recognise anything outside its box. [13:04] kwtm: BA might do it though :P [13:04] Darkstar1: idd [13:04] haahah [13:05] smw: Thank you [13:05] DarkStar1: That's because, unlike Microsoft, BA is about customer service. :) [13:05] larrylamsy,save the file power off the vm [13:05] n3rV3: heh.... [13:05] kwtm: hahaha ... [13:05] karthick87, I lost linux on my ps3 after an update :-\ [13:05] The Virtualbox Manual details how to access usb flash drives.. [13:05] Ok. Now I understand. I actually did not want to reboot my computer in Windows and work my file there. [13:06] You can always transfer files to/from Vbox over the network. [13:06] yes thank you Dr_Willis [13:06] collabra, then answer me why mine will not work ie; got it from the website [13:06] Dr_Willis: I got the installer working after I manually fixed all file names [13:06] smw: I think i have not updated,can you say me the procedure to install ubuntu on ps3 [13:07] So I try it with Virtual Box and hope my file was there, and in friendly envrionement. [13:07] been trying to get it working for weeks now [13:07] westmi: you need to enable the usb service in the setting,... i suppose [13:07] tried that also [13:07] westmi: within vbox [13:07] ive been googling my ass off [13:07] Ok. Thanks anyway guys. [13:07] Anyone know a tool I can use to fix a corrupt FS? [13:07] larrylamsy: you can always run some live cd iso in vortuialbox and mount your vbox hard drives. [13:07] DarkStar1: what Filesystem? [13:08] researching for a few weeks now [13:08] I will try other methods. Thanks. [13:08] Dr_Willis: a USB flash drive so I'm assuming fat [13:08] <_MadWolf_> remember me? ;-) pastebin.ubuntu.com/527600 [13:08] westmi: hmm,... dunno,... [13:08] DarkStar1: proberly safest to use windows for it.. theres some fat tools in the repos. but ive never used them [13:08] guest os win xp [13:08] DarkStar1: somthing like dosfs-tools or similer pacakge name [13:08] Thanks guys.. [13:08] Dr_Willis: what's the puppy chanel? [13:08] karthick87, there is an ubuntu derivative for it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ps3+ubuntu [13:08] puppy rocks [13:09] <_MadWolf_> dpecka: got the pastebin [13:09] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: got the pastebin [13:09] tried both kubuntu and ubuntu, tried pclos, also [13:09] karthick87, it is pretty easy to find a guide [13:09] Dr_Willis: Was afriad you'd say that :/ [13:09] as the host os [13:09] rek: #puppy-linux perhaps. [13:10] Hey guys I want audio/video chat with gtalk users using empathy [13:10] I have 3 different usb devices to try and test [13:10] no dice [13:11] Hi.. I need help installing wireleless driver. bcm43xx.. I use ubuntu 10.10 netbook.. on USB-stick.. where does it fetch the proprietary drivers from? When I boot from USB it'll find it automatically.. but after I installed it on my HDD it won't find the driver.. anyone know what to do? [13:11] i'm frustrated, to say the least [13:11] good morning all [13:11] bonjour [13:11] The following packages cannot be authenticated! iotop while installing iotop [13:11] westmi: you did read the virtualbox manual? you have to configure vbox settings as to what devices to have access to. THEN when vbox is running use the icon at the bottom right.. to actually enavble the device i recall. [13:11] westmi: I don't have an answer for why.... i use it and it works for me,...(not intended to rub it in) [13:11] should i type y ? [13:11] westmi: it can work.. its just a bit annoying to get it all going. last i did it was a few mo back. [13:12] Anyone familiar with Scsi drives online for help? [13:12] _MadWolf_: hows it going? [13:12] i'm running xubuntu 10.10 64-bit. when i turn the computer on and run xubuntu, wifi won't work (as if there were no wifi networks available), and pushing the wifi button doesn't do anything. however, if i push the button and then restart the computer, wifi will work perfectly (as it is right now). so i have to turn on my computer and then restart it everytime to use wifi. any ideas on how to diagnose or solve this? [13:12] !anyone | Tuzlo_ [13:12] Tuzlo_: 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? [13:12] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: pastebin.ubuntu.com/527600 [13:12] westmi: i also recall some bug in fstab/vbox in some situations where access can get blocked. [13:13] Hey guys I want to audio/video chat with gtalk / ym users using empathy, what packages should I install to get these things work?? [13:13] krishnandu: most of the IM clients can do gtalk. some may need extra plugins that are in the repos. [13:13] i receive this The following packages cannot be authenticated! [13:13] iotop [13:13] during installation of iotop [13:13] _MadWolf_ you changed ur ip to 254? [13:13] Ok. I'm new to this tyoe of architecture (dell poweredge 1850 with 2 scsi drives) I need some assistance setting up my drives as I think one may be bad. [13:14] CooKieMonster: proberly a key changed or somthing.. install it if you want.. [13:14] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: yes, to try a different one... [13:14] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: but why there's also this 169...? [13:14] dr wilis this there any better alternative for iotop ? [13:14] Dr_Willis, I said audio/video chat. I can text them with empathy. [13:14] westmi: if you are vboxing xp or some sort of windows,... the drivers needed to use your usb devices need to be installed within xp or whatever version you are using. [13:14] CooKieMonster: no idea. [13:14] westmi: that's all i got [13:14] _MadWolf_ thats normal [13:15] krishnandu: try them and see.. the im clients are constantly adding new features. I only use googletalk for the most part. [13:15] Tuzlo_: scsi disk appear as sda and sdb and so on just like the other disks [13:15] Dr_Willis, Okies :) [13:15] krishnandu: theres several dozen plugins i recall in the repos. [13:15] _MadWolf_: That's an automatically assigned address to your NIC. for when you're connected to nothing [13:15] krishnandu: you may want to use the PPA's for the latest fetures in your IM clients also. [13:15] Thanks Dr_Willis [13:15] brb.. gotta relog into windows [13:15] <_MadWolf_> DarkStar1: but I am connected [13:15] people always text on cell phones.. but want to talk in IM clients.. :) [13:16] _MadWolf_ the only thing i could think of (if ur hardware is setup correctly) might be the ipv6 getting prio? [13:16] :P === cissp_ is now known as pluhngz [13:16] When someone else calls me, it works fine, but when I calls someone it freezes [13:16] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: but wouldn't I be able to ping other computers on LAN then? [13:16] Actually this was the problem in Lucid too [13:16] Hello fellow internet addicts, are we all looking forward to another long & glorious Sunday of irc, coffee, bacon/egg/cheese on cinnamon raisin bagel, and internet addiction, online gaming, and our "cozy internet areas" when its cold outside? [13:17] Hi.. I need help installing wireleless driver. bcm43xx.. I use ubuntu 10.10 netbook.. on USB-stick.. where does it fetch the proprietary drivers from? When I boot from USB it'll find it automatically.. but after I installed it on my HDD it won't find the driver.. anyone know what to do? [13:17] _MadWolf_ idd thats the weird part.. Also couldnt be a driver problem then [13:17] bacon and eggs, are you cooking? [13:17] _MadWolf_: dw it's not assigned. It's just telling you the address that will get defaulted to if you aren't [13:17] tuzlo, before we go into iraq/iran, lets dip our bullets [13:17] in pig blood [13:17] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: isn't it possible that the router somehow only accepts windows machines? [13:17] pluhngz huh? [13:17] collabra, but would'nt ubuntu automatically download what it needs, like it does for my graphics? [13:17] _MadWolf_ no, ICMP requests are universal [13:17] <_MadWolf_> Maybe I need netbios/wins name? [13:18] I have ubuntu 10.04 running on an asus g50v laptop. My laptop microphone at the top of my screen isn't working. Hardware doesn't seem to detect it. PulseAudio would seem to be the culprit, but I'm not sure. [13:18] not OS bound [13:18] I just put ubuntu 10.10 on my core 2 duo Dell Vostro 1500 [13:18] it doesnt randomly crash anymore [13:18] _MadWolf_: I was thinking along the same lines... Maybe when you log into your windows machine you're registered with a domain controller [13:18] windows 7 was randomly rebooting my machine on this laptop before [13:18] has 2gigs of ram [13:18] and 8600M GT [13:18] 2 yr old laptop, but good [13:18] pluhngz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:18] _MadWolf_: which may then permit you access to the outside world [13:18] _MadWolf_ that cant explain why his router/gateway isnt responding? [13:18] and just using a normal usb storage device, which is eazy for linux..... [13:18] pluhngz is your machine getting hot? [13:18] aricz, the broadcom driver is on the usb stick, and when you install ubuntu and choose the 3rd party software and updates during install it will install the driver. [13:18] hi there [13:19] DarStar1: that would mean his router is a dc? [13:19] DarkStar1: or a radius [13:19] my usb mouse works good.... [13:19] is there any way to install a PostScript Type 1 font WITHOUT having the .afm file? .pfb and .pfm (they should work fine on windows) are there... [13:19] _MadWolf_: or some mad thing like that. Adds the machine to the Router's iptables as a valid client on the subnet if he's registered with the domain [13:19] doesnt feel hot [13:20] Dropje^: could be done though I've never heard of a scenario where it ''s implemented [13:20] <_MadWolf_> DarkStar1: any way I can test this? [13:21] Dropje^: It maks it easier for the admin to know who's logged on what machine at the time of net access [13:21] how do i make my external lcd monitor the main monitor w/ the start menu etc..........and laptop monitor the extended monitor in ubuntu 10.10? im using Linux-x86_64 260.19.06 nvidia driver [13:21] where do i find xtightvncviewer after installing it? [13:21] DarkStar1: yes i can imagine that, but still you would think all traffic would be blocked if using a setup like that [13:22] is there a way to disable my wireless card on start up? im using ubuntu 10.10 [13:22] hi [13:22] morning [13:23] DarkStar1: the weird part is he can ping other computers.. That all travels along the same router so it does let through packages for his ip [13:23] Dropje^: The clients on the subnet won't be individully configured to block internal queries [13:23] How to install Mono on Ubuntu 10.10 server? [13:23] Dr_Willis, Hey when I call someone in gtalk they don't see any incoming call, neither can I when they call me [13:24] does anyone know how to get the vendor name and the name of the model name of the cd drive? [13:24] karthick87, do you know how to install anything on a 10.10 server? [13:24] how do i make my external lcd monitor the main monitor w/ the start menu etc..........and laptop monitor the extended monitor in ubuntu 10.10? im using Linux-x86_64 260.19.06 nvidia driver [13:24] hi, where can i locate my program files, for gimp [13:24] idodeisuke, cdrecord -scanbus [13:24] idodeisuke, properties? [13:24] pluhngz, with nvidia-settings - but thats a REALLY bad idea [13:24] _MadWolf_: I would check on windows if you're registered with a domain when you log in [13:24] unless your laptop screen is broken [13:24] external is bigger [13:25] 19" mon, laptop =15" [13:25] smw: sudo apt-get install am i right..? [13:25] DarkStar1: i have kinda a similar setup here.. using a domain controller server 2008 [13:25] karthick87, yep [13:25] @ duffydack thx you very much :) [13:25] karthick87, so, put mono in [13:25] _MadWolf_: brb I gotta disappear for 15mins [13:25] <_MadWolf_> DarkStar1: ok, thx [13:25] smw: but mono package is not available thats why asking [13:26] pluhngz, system, prefs - monitors ? [13:26] krishnandu: I use the thing rarely.. sounds like a firewall in the way [13:26] karthick87, ok, I will look [13:26] _MadWolf_ whats your setup like? u got a modem, then router, then direct connection to the ubuntu machine or a switch between that? [13:26] pluhngz: use the nvidia settings tool. enable twinview. check the box to 'make this the primary monitor' save the xorg.conf, restart X server [13:27] i ignored twinview option because that makes me think by how its worded [13:27] karthick87, try sudo apt-cache search mono [13:27] Hi there! Does anyone of you guys use the Cisco VPN client with 2.6.32 x86_64? It makes my kernel panic whenever I try to connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [13:27] "twin view" that they duplicate each other, which is useless [13:27] what a poor selection of words [13:27] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: not sure... I'm at work, so I just connect to a lan socket in the wall ;-) not sure what's the setup on the other side... [13:27] "twin view" [13:27] Dr_Willis, I don't use any firewall, and I think by default firewall is disabled in ubuntu [13:27] Dropje^: gtg.. sorry [13:27] pluhngz, not so you can have 2 different x servers [13:27] pluhngz: you are wrong :) twinview is nvidias 'enhanced xinrama' feature that allows cloaning, or wide desktops [13:28] karthick87, mono-complete looks like the best. "complete Mono runtime, development tools and all libraries" [13:28] pluhngz: Or you can have 2 X servers (rarely needed) [13:28] _MadWolf_ could be you need an authorised MAC or something.. or indeed register with the local domain controller [13:28] i am using those right now Dr_Willis [13:28] but, when i bring laptop somewhere , when monitor is not hooked into CRT port [13:28] will it be smart enough to put screen on laptop [13:28] n3rV3: ive rarely had a need for it.. or seen a need for it. [13:28] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: I have the same MAC adderess on windows and ubuntu on the same machine, don't I? [13:28] pluhngz: it has for me. [13:28] if i use this configuration [13:28] hello. i am looking for an editor on ubuntu where i can save as ascii [13:28] anhy hint? [13:29] _MadWolf_ hahaa indeed unless u spoof it [13:29] nicola_pav, vim nano pico [13:29] so many [13:29] pluhngz: ive had few if any issues with twinview on nvidia systems. you MIGHT need to use the laptops special FN keys to toggle on/off the external display [13:29] n3rV3: graphical? [13:29] smw: Thanks a lot [13:29] nicola_pav: theres proberly 30+ text editors out there you can use. :) [13:29] nicola_pav: any text editor can save to 'ascii text' [13:29] rebooting, brb [13:29] Dr_Willis: name me 4 :) [13:30] thats sort of the definition of a text editor. [13:30] nicola_pav: vi, geany, nano, pico, emacs, mcedit [13:30] ubuntu 10.04, can i resize my main partition with gparted? (while its mounted) or is there some other way? i need to make room for another OS [13:30] gedit [13:30] hey, for some reason, bash isn't autocompleting on apt-get install. . and a couple of other things.. anyone know? [13:30] graphical? [13:30] nicola_pav: use the search feature in the package manager.. then go learn vi. :) [13:30] nicola_pav: yes some are.. some are not... see package manager descriptions [13:30] nilsma, gparted makes a livecd - i highly recommend it [13:30] nicola_pav: some are both. :) [13:31] _MadWolf_ maybe you could try something like WireShark to see what the gateway responds to you [13:31] DrManhattan, not sure quite what you mean, i have already installed ubuntu 10.04 to my HD and it is my main OS, but i need to resize my main partition (with ubuntu installed on it) to make room for yet another OS [13:32] nilsma, I can't make that any clearer than I made it. Sorry. [13:32] _MadWolf_ one more thing, does your windows pc gets its ip through DHCP or static? [13:32] ubuntu 10.04, can i resize my main partition with gparted? (while its mounted) or is there some other way? i need to make room for another OS [13:32] \ [13:32] nilsma, use the gparted live cd [13:32] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: static, there's no dhcp on the network... and the gateway is some Cisco hardware, but not sure which exactly [13:33] after rebooting, [13:33] _MadWolf_ prolly the same ip address you configured the first time right? [13:33] i didnt evne have to check make external primary [13:33] Can someone please tell what to do when I get a mount cd error when trying to Install Ubuntu 10.10 from hard drive via UnetBootin [13:33] twinview auto set it as main monitor [13:33] smw, thanks ill try that then [13:33] DrManhattan, thanks for the tip :) [13:33] now if it snaps laptop back to main menu when im 'on the go', then this is good, if not, thats lame [13:33] nilsma, np [13:33] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: yes, 192.168.1.148, I used exactly the same settings as on windows... [13:34] anyone knwo why bash wouldn't autocomplete some commands? [13:34] #asia [13:34] ok user__ [13:34] have fun there [13:34] then DarkWolf1 could be right about needing to register with the Domain Controller first or something [13:34] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: downloading wireshark ;-) [13:35] _MadWolf_ wireshark needs root access and can screw up ur lan a bit so might need a reboot after :) [13:35] time to make my Pumpkin Spice coffee from dunkin donuts, and a bacon/egg/cheese bagel while you all starve [13:35] adalal, check the bashrc http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/28/turn-on-bash-smart-completion/ [13:35] {bump} Does anyone of you guys use the Cisco VPN client with Linux 2.6.32 x86_64? It makes my kernel panic whenever I try to connect. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [13:35] pluhngz, :) [13:36] clrg: exactly what kernel [13:36] thiebaude, are you enjoying your glass of water with slices of wonder bread submerged in the water? [13:36] clrg, I dont but if no one here knows you could try ##linux channel [13:36] then you stirred it, and drank the sog that formed? thats your breakfast? [13:36] lulz [13:36] haha [13:36] no but im about to make my coffee [13:36] ikonia: And it works for you? [13:36] Is there any command I can add that will fix mount cd problem when installing Ubuntu 10.10 from hard drive via Unetbootin? [13:36] clrg: exactly what kernel are you having the problem with [13:36] coz_: Thank you, I'll ask there next. [13:37] pluhngz, i am going to get my coffee [13:37] I can't even function, still half awake, sad how i first goto my computer, before coffee/food [13:37] Unetbootin isnt an install program [13:37] if any of you do that, you have issues as well lulz [13:37] unetbootin puts ubuntu install media onto a USB flash drive [13:37] ikonia: 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:37] pluhngz, i agree same here [13:37] sosaited: i set up grub2 to boot an ISO file from an internal sata hd. :) that was a faaast install.. [13:37] morning again all [13:37] xchat 2.8.8 Linux 2.6.35-22-generic [x86_64/800.50MHz/SMP] [13:37] Unetbootin can do a 'live' type setup to a hard drive.. but its not a very well done feature. [13:38] clrg, your linux is out of date, the kernel [13:38] pluhngz: not it's not [13:38] clrg: just having a little look in the bugs data base now [13:38] ikonia: Thank you [13:38] whats -25, and -32? not security fixes? [13:38] pluhngz: they are just updates [13:39] Dr_Willis, Any way to do that in Windows 7?. I tried following a guide.. but the command listed there .. bcedit something.. wasnt working. And there was just one file in casper folder [13:39] pluhngz: I guess kernel.org has newer versions, however, I'm using the newest version supplied by Canonical/Ubuntu. [13:39] im using 10.10 [13:39] clrg: ignore the kernels from kernel.org [13:39] and mine shows -32 [13:39] i did the updates, i had like 135, after an out of box install [13:39] pluhngz: show me the output of uname -a please [13:39] sosaited: i just used a mini live cd once.. ther may be a way to do it from windows.. but ive never tried. [13:40] Linux tuscaloosa 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:40] sosaited: check the pendrivelinux web site and http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [13:40] In Ubuntu 10.10 the gnome screensaver does not automatically start when the system is left idle [13:40] is there any cd-detect/try=usb sort of command for hard drive? [13:40] is there any setting that i have to change ? [13:40] pluhngz: you're running a later version of ubuntu [13:40] Dr_Willis, Or unetbootin or Ubuntu Install specfic channel? [13:41] sosaited: never noticed any. Never needed them. :) [13:41] sosaited: ive only used uinetbootin to put ubuntu on flash drives.. pendrivelinux web site has alterantive tools to unetbootin also. [13:41] ? [13:41] clrg: nothing obvious on launchpad.net - maybe worth logging a bug [13:41] for some reason the gnome screensaver does not start up autmatically [13:42] clrg: what's the kernel panic error message before the actual panic [13:42] oh, i didnt know that google has chrome for linux [13:42] it blows [13:42] badly [13:42] nice, bye bye firefox bloat, back to chrome minimalism [13:42] Dr_Willis: I tried there Multi Iso one. But it wouldn't allow to select the ISO .. Maybe because I had 1GB usb [13:42] good luck [13:42] Hi people! [13:43] firefox is like hte 250 pound internet addict...chrome is after 8 months of 5miles/day on the treadmill [13:43] hi [13:43] :) [13:43] the [13:43] ikonia: That's the funny thing - there are no stack traces in the syslog files! The only thing I know is when I try to connect, the system hangs and the caps lock led begins flasing. Even Magic SysRq doesn't work, I have to do a power cycle. [13:43] can anyone help me out ? [13:43] too advance for me [13:43] im outta here [13:43] hi user_ [13:43] clrg: that sounds odd, sounds almost like a hardware glitch [13:43] Can anybody tell me the steps in order to setup and configure a NAS hard disk? [13:43] hi pluhngz [13:43] user_, are you from china [13:44] how you know? [13:44] the chinese government told me [13:44] i told them not to told you [13:44] pluhngz: stop messing around [13:44] your ip is public, since u didnt cloak it [13:44] pluhngz so how did you know anyway? [13:45] how to cloak it then? [13:45] User_: ask in #freenode [13:45] thanks [13:45] _MadWolf_ any luck with WireShark? [13:45] Can anybody tell me the steps in order to setup and configure a NAS hard disk? [13:45] ikonia: Its a Thinkpad T410, five months old. I don't think it's already broken, it was quite expensive. However, I googled, and other people's machines crash too. Up to 2.6.24 the cisco software works, but anything newer panics. I had to apply a patch to make the kernel module compile in the first place. [13:46] clrg: doesn't mean it's broken, just not compatible [13:46] Is there any Ubuntu Install specific channel [13:46] ? [13:46] sosaited: just ask here [13:46] i am running 10.10 but the gnome screensaver does not start automatically if the system is left idle [13:46] is there some setting that i should change ? [13:46] ikonia: Possibly. I can't tell. [13:46] hello [13:46] * clrg is going to file a bug. [13:47] I already did.. a lot of times. But no one seems to know what to do . I am trying to install 10.10 from Hard drive via Unetbootin, but I get can't mount cd-rom after language selection etc. [13:47] how to hide my ip address anyone? [13:47] ikonia: Any tips? [13:47] User_: you've been told - ask in #freenode [13:47] ok ok im sorry [13:47] User_: ask for a claok in #freenode [13:47] cloak rather [13:47] i've got a general question about runlevel. WIth Ubuntu, the "single user mode" (runlevel 1) is the recovery mode or it's something else? [13:47] sosaited: not used unetbootin so I don't know without looking into it [13:47] user_ [13:47] gaelle: recovery is single user [13:47] i would think china wouldnt allow irc connections, because it bypasses [13:47] their dialogue restriction capability [13:47] ... [13:48] hasn't pluhngz been booted yet ? === geo is now known as geo0 [13:48] . /ig'd [13:48] sigh adding the new nick to my ignore list [13:48] user_ are you in a internet cafe there now? [13:48] pluhngz: enough now [13:48] pluhngz: this is ubuntu support discussion only, please stick to that [13:48] thanks :-) , somebody said to me that we can hace access to a shell under single user, but i've tested with recovery mode, it's only a graphic console ... [13:48] is there any way in 10.10 to have open windows or tabs shown in the bottom panel? [13:48] hes asking how to hide his government provided IP [13:49] pluhngz: he's been told not to ask in this channel - so please stick to ubuntu support discussion [13:49] Can anybody tell me the steps in order to setup and configure a NAS hard disk? [13:49] southpaw75, ? add "window list" applet to a panel that sits on the bottom of the window ? [13:49] anvo, ? [13:49] anvo, http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=f&pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=ubuntu+nas+setup [13:49] pluhngz yes because my government will catch me if i dont [13:49] anvo: use as in mount it on your ubutu system [13:49] ok let me check into that... brb [13:50] and http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+nas+setup&hl=en&ned=us&tab=nw [13:50] I've checked all these...! [13:50] ok here's one for you folks... I've got an older system with the intel 845gv video. I can get full resolution on ubuntu 9.04, but the previous version 10 beta couldn't give me any HD resolutions so I was stuck in VGA mode. Now that 10.10 is official does anyone know if the video issue has been fixed? [13:50] I'm stucked! [13:50] im new to ubuntu [13:50] i'm stucked too, but i stucked to the websites, and read solution [13:50] southpaw75, there should already be a window list applet on the default bottom panel which is by default already on the bottom .... [13:50] anvo: is the nas disk in your ubuntu machine on an external device ? [13:51] not really use to installing programs in ubuntu [13:51] ok i see that but was shooting for more something that would resemble windows but i can work with this :) [13:51] User_, open your application menu, select software center... [13:51] southpaw75, ? [13:51] southpaw75, windows does *exactly* the same thing [13:51] ikonia, yes, it is [13:51] ok thanks [13:51] anvo: it is what ? [13:52] true, am sorry, not enough coffee yet this morning [13:52] and connected to the wireless gateway via ethernet. [13:52] i didnt see any antivirus program provided in ubuntu [13:52] ikonia, yes, it is inside an external box [13:52] use AVAST for antivirus [13:52] Fear is the mindkiller.... [13:52] The little death that obliterates... [13:52] anvo: ok, so all you need to do is mouont it [13:52] No sound . sound card C-Media CMI8738 ..The driver is installed but no sound plz help [13:52] southpaw75, if however you actually mean the windowlist that windows 7 provides then you might like to look at talika & cardapio [13:52] Avast on ubuntu [13:52] ? [13:52] ikonia, but how do I map it? [13:52] now that explains the drab, and dry personality airtonix = bipolar/manic [13:53] pluhngz welcome back [13:53] airtonix, am guessing a different flavor of linux? [13:53] hELLO [13:53] ikonia: Thanks for your help. I'll be off asking in ##linux. [13:53] ikonia, is it enough to add "192.168.1.100 NAS" to /etc/hosts ? [13:53] southpaw75, no talika is a window list applet, and cardapio is a better menu applet for the gnome panel [13:54] ohhh ok, i can get that from the software center? [13:54] ikonia, and what about mounting it at boot...? [13:54] anvo: no it's not [13:54] I do not know what's wrong here, I am looking at youtube videos and I went to the tmp folder to download the video, but is not there [13:54] anyone know where is iotop located after installation ? [13:54] anvo: you need to know a.) what ip address the remote device has b.) what protocol it is sharing the disks on [13:54] here's a question, are scsi drives hot swappable? [13:54] Licuadora, newer version of flash doesnt store there anymore. use youtube-dl [13:54] the video is not there, in the tmp folder, What's wrong? [13:54] ikonia, well, I know the IP... [13:55] Tuzlo_: depends on your hardware [13:55] CooKieMonster: On the virtual console after you called it. [13:55] southpaw75, cardapio >>> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/cardapio-alternative-gnome-panel-menu-launcher-so-much-more/ [13:55] anvo: ok, that's %50 of the problem [13:55] <_MadWolf_> Dropje: wirewshark tells me that there is a cisco switch... and some ipv6 traffic going on... looking further into it... [13:55] duffydack: WHAT!? [13:55] ikonia, as for protocol, I've installed SMB and NFS... [13:55] ubuntu cannot be used to play ragnarok online [13:55] bullgard4 how to do that [13:55] anvo: installed where ? [13:55] CooKieMonster: I beg your pardon? [13:55] ikonia dell poweredge server HP ultrawide 320 drives [13:55] ikonia, in my pc [13:55] Licuadora, well the 64bit flash Im using doesnt store there anymore.. dunno about you.. I prefer youtube-dl anyhow [13:55] southpaw75, talika >>> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/talika-applet-icons-only-window-list-on.html [13:56] ok will go check them out and thank you [13:56] bullgard4 how to call iotop [13:56] ikonia, not the external box [13:56] southpaw75, instead of downloading that deb on the talika page use the steps here : http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-ubuntu-ppa-for-talika-gnome.html [13:56] anvo: that is irrelevant, it depends what the external machine is sharing the disks out on (protocol) [13:56] User_, is ragnarok a java based online game? === emil is now known as Guest38885 [13:56] Hi gents, does anybody knows how to make MS LifeCam VX1000 working in ubuntu with skype? [13:56] i dont know [13:57] ikonia, from time to time I manage to mount that disk, but connections is weird! [13:57] CooKieMonster: First install the DEB program package. Then, in a virtual terminal, type 'iotop' . [13:57] its a windows based game [13:57] !who | User_ [13:57] User_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:57] but i use wine to open it [13:57] daffydack: Ok , I downloaded the package, where are the videos now? [13:57] ikonia, I cannot remove or move any file or dir to that NAS hard disk! [13:57] ok sorry [13:57] Licuadora, youtube-dl -b -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "youtube link here" (without quotes) [13:58] ikonia, though I can view its contents, I cannot modify them! [13:58] anvo: you're not listening to what I'm saying you need to know what protocol your external device is sharing it's disks as [13:58] Licuadora, the "youtube link" without quotes..that is. [13:58] ikonia, it is SAMBA! [13:58] coz ragnarok online is a windows based game and i use wine to open it [13:58] Hi guys and gals, I've connected an Usb to Parallel converter which has a home made LED display connected to it. Is there any way i can send out for example 4 bits to the device? [13:58] daffydack: Oh, no... am I gonna be doing this on the terminal!? [13:58] ikonia, which is supported by my PC! [13:58] anvo: ok, so you then need to fix the users/groups permissions on the external device [13:58] Licuadora, use a browser extension then. [13:59] ikonia, do I? [13:59] ikonia, how do I do that? [13:59] Hello! I am unable to change bootable flag while advanced partitioning with ubuntu server 10.10 - it always set as off. What can be the reason ? [13:59] jstoone: i seem to recall some linux journal, or linux gazette artical doing a similer task as a tutorial/guide to usb programming. [13:59] jstoone: this was perhaps 2+ yrs ago. [13:59] southpaw75, http://www.varal.org/cardapio/cardapio_video1.ogv [13:59] anvo: you need to get support for your external device [13:59] anvo: they will tell you how to fix your uses/groups/permissions on the external device [13:59] anvo: most NAS's have a web interface you can set settings on... [14:00] ikonia, you don't have to tell me yourself, here! Just give an URL to some guide! [14:00] anvo: check your NAS's homepage for a manual. [14:00] I am super happy! :D [14:00] Dr_Willis, I've checked that! [14:00] anvo: if you know its IP -> http://ip.of.the.nas/ [14:00] Dr_Willis: Well do you remember where this article was written? [14:00] anvo: I don't know your device's needs, so I can't give you a URL - you need to contact the support resources from your NAS provider [14:00] jstoone: linux journal magazine or lunux gazette mag. [14:01] ikonia, OK, I see! [14:01] Dr_Willis: Ok thanks. The wierd thing is that the 4 bit sigment is turned on as the only one on the display. [14:01] Dr_Willis, Samba server of NAS device has only one user, with read/write access and a blank password! [14:02] anvo: so you need to setup users and permissions [14:02] How can I refresh the widgets in the "Add to panel..." dialog after I install a new widget? [14:02] ikonia, in to my Ubuntu or the NAS device? [14:02] anvo: nas device [14:02] ikonia, I see. [14:02] ikonia: yes [14:03] G1Bs0N: what ? [14:03] daffydack: ERROR: format not available for video [14:03] If i can ssh to my adsl router/modem, but am required to then type "shell" to get a working busybox shell... is it possible to automate this step in the initial ssh command ? [14:03] ikonia, So, I must give the existent Samba user my user name! [14:03] when i try to mount a partition with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". How do i know the filesystem? [14:03] Licuadora, whats the link? [14:03] anvo: no, you need to setup users and groups on your NAS box [14:03] Licuadora, try without the -b [14:03] kusanagi, generally with fdisk -l [14:04] can someone help me pls ? [14:04] !ask [14:04] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[14:15] @twitty1437 Before changinh and checking hardware, I would suggest to re-download and reinstall Ubuntu [14:15] Licuadora, although. im using a newer version of it, from a ppa [14:15] DrManhattan: it's a fresh installation, it run perfectly fine in failsafe mode [14:15] I had LOTS of problems with ubuntu first.. thought it was F-UPED till I found out it was my harddrive that was F-UPED because of overheating. (you could look in to that) [14:16] Hiyas all [14:16] EricThibault: i've tried doing so for 2 times [14:16] twitty1437, you have a hardware problem. Youll need to test out your hardware, especially your system RAM.

[14:18] i need to create some upstart scripts and i've googled for it but can anyone please point me some easy to use guides [14:18] twitty1437, run memtest for 24 hours to test it properly. Im not sure about prime95, I've never used it as a stability test unless I was overclocking. [14:19] duffydack: But, is it necessary to use an extension? [14:19] duffydack: I have never used any extensions [14:19] Licuadora, "%(title)s.%(ext)s" is a paramter to name the output file better, and not just youtubes way of naming files. [14:19] Licuadora, copy paste the line I gave to you. [14:20] twitty1437: I also had a CPU-error long time ago (a pentium 120 Mhz) no tests showed that it was broken but when I finally replaced the CPU all worked perfect. (this was at the win95 era and that OS crachsed for me all the time) [14:20] Licuadora, you dont really need the -b there as its used by default anyway. [14:20] duffydack, Ok, but wait, you sayd no quotes, how abot parenthesis and other symbols?Ç [14:20] Licuadora, for the youtube link.... the rest should be identical to what I gave to you [14:21] DrManhattan, but it run just fine in failsafe mode.... if it's a hardware problem, it should hangs in failsafe too, isn't it? [14:21] no [14:21] Licuadora, youtube-dl -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" [14:21] Licuadora, and then your youtube link after it. [14:21] so nm-tool shows my connections [14:22] Jesus H Christ with the bans [14:22] how can I tell it to connect to one of them [14:22] thanks anyway, will do memtest fo 24hr [14:22] DrManhattan, :) [14:23] I'll asume this is just my modem issue............

[15:02] need free psybnc bouncer [15:02] pls help me [15:02] resno, I found network-manager is annoying without a desktop running, so, remove it [15:02] Scrol: what does that have to do with this channel? [15:03] :S [15:03] WienerWuerstel, isn't that done through bios?? [15:03] hi, if hal has been deprecated, why would this still work under ubuntu 10.04 hal-find-by-capability --capability storage.cdrom ? [15:03] Pedrolima88: install this package instad of compiling yourself: linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic [15:04] n3rV3: No it should work with nvidia-settings. But when i change the speed it snaps back to default. [15:05] hi all! [15:05] n3rv3: CPU Overclocking is done trough the BIOS ;) [15:05] hehe [15:05] must be a bit sleepy [15:05] lol [15:05] erUSUL: thanks ill try now w8 [15:05] erUSUL, thanks for the link, i'm not sure what /dev/sda# it is, i know if it's of two, the two have system: extended and the other system: linux [15:05] WienerWuerstel, running it with sudo?? [15:06] craiggles: sda5 maybe? [15:06] erUSUL, /dev/sda5/ is what i was thiking, (Linux) [15:06] erUSUL: i need reboot after install this package? [15:06] craiggles: paste the output of « sudo fdisk -l » to paste.ubuntu.com [15:07] Pedrolima88: maybe « sudo modprobe -r wl && sudo modprobe wl » is enough [15:07] n3rV3: Yep and it just snaps back. Can i use the 256.52 Nvidia Driver on Xserver 1.9/2.37 Kernel? [15:08] ok i ll reboot now brb [15:08] n3rV3: I heard this is a Bug that only occurs with the 260 Nvidia Drivers but why?

[15:10] WienerWuerstel, have you installed nvclock_gtk [15:10] WienerWuerstel, you should be able to open that with nvclock_gtk and overclock from there [15:10] WienerWuerstel, also install nvclock if you havent [15:11] coz_: I have installed it but it doesn't detect my Graphis Card. [15:12] WienerWuerstel, ooo that's odd .... [15:13] coz_: Maybe my nvclock Version is too old. I have 0.8 (beta4) installed [15:14] how to view installed package names in ubuntu [15:14] how do I stop update notifier? on 10.10 gnome [15:14] like which ruby I have installed with apt-get ? [15:14] on server [15:15] WienerWuerstel, same version here for both nvclock and nvclock-gtk [15:15] rubydiamond, dpkg -l|grep [15:15] coz_: No wonder it doesn't work. The last Version was released almost 2 Years Ago (lol). So it probably has no support for the geforce 250 gts. [15:15] rubydiamond, dpkg -l "*ruby*" [15:15] dli: okay thanks.. [15:15] WienerWuerstel, that makes sense... try contacting the developer [15:15] rubydiamond: dpkg -l | grep ii will show you all correct installed packages [15:16] rubydiamond, you mean installed: dpkg -l "*ruby*"|grep '^ii' [15:16] hehe [15:16] erUSUL, `/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)'

[15:17] WienerWuerstel, cant hurt... he may be able to update it [15:17] sudo update-grub [15:17] the last [15:17] Pedrolima88: the point of installing the package was to not have to compile the driver by hand [15:17] for suda grub-install .. it reported back, installation finished. no error reported.

It's not possible [15:36] 7 if not mistaken [15:37] you can grow one then copy all the data over from the small one to the big one then delete the small one and then grow again [15:37] ls /dev/loop* | wc -l [15:37] Dr_Willis: That's why i thought i'd get it :P [15:38] hi there [15:38] i am hopingthe do_IRQ problem i have is network card-driver related as it seems to occur mostly when i do a massive xfer [15:38] snarkster: 8 by default; but it can grow to a maximun ( 256 or so ) [15:38] Chillance, you can merge two partitions but they should be lvms [15:38] hi bugs_bugger [15:38] lvms?

[15:57] ok ,i have a try [15:57] so i'm not sure where to go for this but whenever i restart openvpn on ubuntu, it closes my ssh session [15:57] as such i can't really debug [15:57] it's really really stupid [15:57] bugs_bugger, no, i want to get more details and ideas befor i'll make it even more worse :D [15:58] dogarrhea1, maybe, you can find out why in auth.log or syslog [15:58] if i use the cmd sudo tasksel install lamp-server .. i get a error sudo: tasksel: command not found .. why? the ubuntu forums say this will install lamp?

[15:58] Dr_Willis: ok will check that out thanks [15:59] nemo, I guess you will have to step by step [15:59] just thought I'd try saving some bandwidth [15:59] so what exactly am I looking for in these logs [16:00] nemo: By experience I recommend to fresh-install 10.10, you'll save yourself all the possible troubles. [16:00] Hi, I'm trying to access phpmyadmin from localhost, and I'm getting a 403 indicating I don't have permission to access the dir. [16:00] rautamiekka: well. it *is* in a VM :) [16:00] dogarrhea1: do a tail on /var/log/messages and see if openvpn returns any errors/warnings upon restarting. Also you might want to try to run openvpn in the foreground (ie. inside a screen, to reattach later if you ssh connection drops). [16:00] nemo: Oh, I see. Then the story changes. [16:00] rautamiekka: probably would save more bandwidth to d/l the CD - and I probably could use a copy anyway [16:00] nemo: Exactly. [16:00] rautamiekka: so I guess. hm. you know. could just wipe the VM. why not. [16:00] nothing in here I care about really [16:01] what do you mean "inside a scren"? [16:01] the same problem [16:01] nemo: Sure you can test things by doing the upgrade if you have the time. Since it's in VM, it would only spend a lot of time, nothing more. [16:01] dogarrhea1, sudo apt-get install screen [16:02] ssbpls: http://www.medibuntu.org use this link to install google earth [16:02] ugh i'm getting sidetracked now [16:02] what's this "screen" thing [16:02] bugs_bugger yes [16:02] !screen > dogarrhea1 [16:02] dogarrhea1, please see my private message [16:02] OK , i'll have a try [16:02] bugs_bugger and then i do the .sh file [16:03] rautamiekka: yeah. apart from minimising my bandwidth, I was just curious - but I think downloading 2 full releases would use several times more bandwidth than just grabbing the CD :) [16:03] Hi all. I've got a problem. I won 'topro' webcam that is not recognizable by ubuntu (10.10). Is there any way to make it work? [16:03] nemo: You can bet on that :) [16:03] maria__: quick check suggests no drivers. sorry. [16:03] hrm. openvpn doesn't error when i restart it [16:04] maria__: webcams are one of those iffy ones - esp if they aren't a standard laptop integrated model.

Even if autostart has gui it still calls terminal doesn't it? [17:50] I get "network error" when I try and set up Empathy - what do I need to do - it gives no more detail [17:50] rkokkelk tripwire is not for alerting user for intruder [17:50] BluesKaj: gess i have to switch on NAT with all it's evils ^^ [17:50] n3rV3 do i need to reboot now ? [17:50] CokkieMonsters: What kind of intruders are you talking about ?

[17:53] Cookiemonsters: well it is quite an big spectrum, but the way it works for example is using an firewall and the firewall will log everything, and that is it so there is most of the time no visual warning if something is trying to connect [17:53] maria__: I thinking is good idea. Try it [17:53] crawler, No, I just did 1000 reboots and I need something that has stron basis to work in order to do 1001. [17:53] Ok so I will.

[17:54] arkanabar, trying to login at the gui [17:54] Cookiemonsters: but do you mean ssh or your samba shares? if your are looking for files that may change to malicious use, i suggest looking into chkrootkit [17:54] so is there any app like that [17:54] or rkhunter [17:54] Or maybe...how to write script that will execute 'sudo su -c '/home/maria/.neostrada/linnet -p'' but after some time? [17:54] maria__: This script must activate a NeostradaTP :) as your PC run? Why you don't use a cron? [17:55] or a firewall that will notify you there's a suspicious intruder or connection [17:55] Yanch0: on the live CD? I just always hit "try w/o installing" at the first menu, and eventually ended up in GNOME. [17:55] So has anyone seen a similar error on any install where once booting you get glitches all the way over the screen? Never boots.

[18:01] home-alone: lubuntu xubuntu [18:01] !lubuntu | home-alone [18:01] home-alone: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu === Auv5 is now known as Auv5[Away] [18:01] BluesKaj yea im having a problem getting 10.10 running on my X40 , the DRI stuff broke it [18:02] I mean lighter than that for a pc with PII 64 ram [18:02] Okay, I have RTL8192U (Belkin F7D1101 v1 USB Wireless N). I've searched for solutions to get it running, but everything I've tried is outdated and has failed. I've tried installing the Windows drivers under Wine. I've tried installing a debian package containing the driver... [18:02] home-alone: try masonux, it's based on ubuntu and very light [18:02] DGodNT, X40 ? could you elaborate pls ? [18:02] I might just backport 9.x with patches [18:02] x40 thinkpad [18:02] I am using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit version on my Lenovo Z560 laptop but my headphones are not working .. are there any ways through which I can make it work [18:02] arkanabar, nope .. jsut username / pass [18:02] maria__: run 'sudo crontab -e', put line on the end like: * * * * * /home/maria/.neostrada/linnet -p < run it every min. If the linnet -p can be run when you have connection and he not disconnect you then you have answer :) [18:03] it doesnt have a 3d card [18:03] I'd like to install a gm945 on it tho :P [18:03] thank you . I wonder if there are more..? [18:03] is apt-proxy the best program for job? [18:04] Yanch0: reasonable guesses for UID include user, guest, and ubuntu. reasonable guesses for password include pass, password. [18:04] but your problem is unique in my experience. [18:04] home-alone: damn small linux is the smallest [18:04] its not criticaly important , however it looks like a patched 10.04 will run. However DRI has broken 10.10 for me [18:04] duh :S lemme try with the 32 bit then [18:04] home-alone: crunchbang-linux: 9.04: is based upon ubuntu, very light bud mainly focused around terminal applications [18:04] maybe others will have more luck [18:04] I have NEVER heard of the official ISO live cds for any 'buntu requiring UID & PW. [18:05] home-alone: may also try Slitaz. [18:05] arkanabar try root:toor [18:05] rkokkelk home-alone: there is no support here for chunchbang [18:05] dsl is not ubuntu based i think [18:05] username:password [18:05] ???????????? [18:05] username : password * [18:05] DGodNT: if Yanch0 was trying to login to PCLOS, I'd agree. But he claims it's an ubuntu liveCD [18:05] bbl [18:05] home-alone: true, but you mentioned your specs, and i have had success with much less :-) [18:05] I believe that dsl is debian and NOT ubuntu [18:05] i've got a problem with a samba share, i can't read/write files in this share that were created on the server instead of trough samba, any ideas on how to fix this? [18:05] jain0709, need to be bit descriptive is the sound working on speakers and not on headphones [18:06] n3rV3: yet sound is working perfect with speakers [18:06] *yes [18:06] yeah it is a live cd arkanabar .. trying the 32bit of it [18:06] brb [18:07] can anyone recommend a dvb-t usb for ubuntu 10.10 to me? [18:07] I am experimenting with very old laptops I actully found them from junk . I wonder if dsl can run on PI 166 with 32 ram ...? [18:07] can anyone explain what is denyhost for ? [18:07] can u use it if i dont run a server ? [18:07] jain0709, could be a problem with speakers [18:08] CookieMonster: Denyhost check the logs of your ssh connection, any user that attempt to connect frequently to yoru server is blocked [18:08] jain0709, i mean your headphone [18:08] join #jezus [18:08] home-alone: you'd be surprised what you can get DSL to run on [18:08] Of course #ubuntustudio is dead. Anyone else have any idea with my Ubuntu Studio boot dying after one letter of the loading screen and going to full screen graphical glitches? [18:09] hi - i accidently deleted the files in etc/apt/sources.list.d [18:09] then can i use it if i'm not running a server ? [18:09] oh really ...? [18:09] *accidentally [18:09] home-alone: slitaz's cd is smaller than that. DSL is usu ~50MB. Give both a shot. [18:09] CM: Not really it is ment for checkin ssh connections and is not meant for other protocols. [18:09] is there a way I could get these files back? [18:09] really it's reasonable to expect something like DSL to run on any hardware that linux could actually run decently on back in 1991 - unlike graphics-heavy environments like windows, there's no particular reason the kernel and basic utilities should have increased in requirements significantly since the early-mid 90s [18:09] DSL wound up being too much of a hassle for me to get running fully [18:09] CM: what kind of system do you want to protect? [18:09] n3rV3: headphone and my laptop port are working very fine .. it is just that it not working in ubuntu . [18:09] WACOMalt: Try removing splash on kernel boot options and remove quiet also [18:10] lukus: in etc/apt/ you can fin sources.list.save [18:10] n3rV3: they are working fine when I run them on windows [18:10] adrian15: how? Sorry still newish to this stuff [18:10] just rename it lukus [18:10] jain0709, check the settings could be that only the headphones are muted [18:10] WACOMalt: !grub2 [18:10] !grub2 [18:10] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:11] home-alone: have to check their site to be sure, or google distrowatch.com for slitaz review... but I think so. [18:11] ooh i se, no idea then lukus [18:11] CookieMonster: a basic firewall will do fine for you, use firestarter for example, but if your are not providing services (websites) then there is no way a user can acces your computer from a network [18:12] How can I remove the "Ubuntu" loading screen permanently?

[18:14] ok, rebooting without splash and quiet.

You'll need to remove "quiet" and "splash". [18:26] windows also leaves stuff behind in the registry [18:27] lieuwe: do you use login credentials fo raccessing samba share ?

[18:28] Hi, guys. Please visit http://clarinet2010.gicp.net:53189/. [18:28] SiB it shows all available networks [18:28] dogarrhea1, data, not program [18:28] what can you see?

[18:39] hello [18:39] jain0709: do you see your sound hardware in the hardware tab in the same place ? you may be set digital not analog [18:39] i disable firewire, and now it's crashing on something else [18:39] deffydack: i have broadcom bmc 4312 card [18:39] ace_steel: virtual terminal. basically, a non-GUI login and session, to allow you to use CLI commands to fix your system.

[18:40] Google is turning up nothing. I need help with thia very serious problem :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_2KCPeH1nc I simply cannot boot. Booting in verbose mode only shows battery state = 0 before the glitch. [18:40] ace_steel: well, while I know nothing about .ICEauthority, I do know you can at least tinker with your system using the command line. [18:40] duffydack: i have activated STA drive and my wifi icon shows all available networks [18:40] cheby, there are guides for clonezilla server/pxe setup, google it :) [18:40] ace_steel: at this point, google and ubuntuforums.com are your friends.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do a batch command to convert exr to png? I know about exrtopng, but can I use this to do a batch with wildcards? [18:42] right you want to set the profile for analog stereo duplex, you are on a laptop ? [18:42] vikash, or maybe Im wrong... i think I am meh.. [18:42] I was thinking about something like exrtopng abc*.exr abc*.png, but that of course does not work [18:42] masung: Good luck. I dont think anyone has even read my question after being here for half an hour [18:42] duffydack: in additional driver window ther are two driver broadcom sta and amd/ati video . both are activated [18:42] gpgp: yes I am on my laptop [18:43] do you see your hardware ion the hardware tab ? [18:43] vikash, well, remove the other one... [18:43] and it is set for analod duplex ? [18:43] analog [18:43] vikash, if b43 is activated I mean. [18:43] jain0709, this is a different make but you can give it a try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9936725 [18:43] duffydack: other one is for video card [18:44] what .conf file stores: system, prefs, screensaver, [x] activate when idle [18:44] ace_steel: cool. at least now you know you can get into console/term & use those solutions. [18:44] I'm also having hard time getting the help I need. But maybe I'm not asking the wright question [18:44] vikash, ah, ok so you are using STA....hmm. try using wicd instead of network manager then. [18:44] Can I install an i386 deb package driver on a x86_64 machine or am I asking for trouble? [18:44] gpgp: I have set it back to analog stero duplex again the output is in laptop speakers but no output in headphones [18:44] jain0709: then in output tab you can select the particular output [18:45] gizmobay, you can do. install ia32-libs [18:45] n3rV3: let me try [18:45] gizmobay: are you running x64 linux or x86? [18:45] sure [18:45] x64 [18:45] is downloading from launchpad.net safe ? [18:45] then nope [18:45] how can I reinstall grub on raid1 lvm partion?

I have for zsnes [18:45] do tell [18:45] this is relevent to my interests [18:46] masung: fedora likes lvm, you may want to check their resources. [18:46] gpgp: in the output tab it is not giving me any option to select [18:46] WACOMalt: was that nope for me? [18:46] If... anyone can help me get my system to boot anyways... [18:46] gizmobay: it WAS but duffydack seems to have a way [18:46] sudo dpkg --force-all -i {package.dev} [18:46] *deb [18:46] jain0709, i am off for the day [18:46] jain0709: you dont have a connector tab below outputs ? [18:46] arkanabar, I really tried everything but found nothing that can solve my probmem [18:46] gizmobay, install ia32-libs or it wont work :) [18:47] Damnit. I spend 4 hours downloading ubuntu studio, and used my last DVD.... If I cant get this to boot then I cant get ubuntu period for a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_2KCPeH1nc [18:47] CooKieMonster: Downloading from launchpad is considered fairly safe, yes [18:47] Hello, anyone know if Ubuntu knows how to deal with old fashioned CD audio? [18:48] jain0709: bbiaf [18:48] duffydack: they were already installed. Do I need to do a force architecture?\ [18:48] Burzmali: it does [18:48] WACOMalt, usb sticks are your friends :) [18:48] hi [18:48] CooKieMonster: although you never know if someone has uploaded malicious software to their ppa, it is highly unlikely [18:48] cannot use them with alternate installs [18:48] gizmobay, for the 386 deb yes [18:48] gpgp: no I dont have that tab [18:48] ok, ordered 1 extra stick of mem and a NIC by intel. Pray that fixes the breaking network connection === fc is now known as Guest42672 [18:48] I installed xmonad and now it starts without anything gnomeish. though I wonder how do I get the gnome login screen etc. back in? [18:48] gizmobay, the package you want to install that is, not ia32-libs. [18:48] did anyone ever figure out how to use unetbootin with a alternate install disk? [18:49] okay, many thanks duffydack [18:49] WACOMalt, use startup disk creator.. always worked for me... altho I use another method these days, [18:49] WACOMalt: Both directions? I've noticed that it can barely handle the Audio CD/Data CD disks that were common in the DOS days [18:49] masung: Boot Partition is in Logical Volume whose Volume Group contains a snapshot. this prevents boot. [18:50] WACO: Never made me anything i coul dboot tbh :) [18:50] worked fine for me on 10.04 when I managed to have a working ubuntu part. [18:50] WACOMalt, http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html bloated article, just make fat partition, boot loader to it, more partitions, cat the iso [18:50] currently I have a little problem with my seahorse on ubuntu maverick. per default it should open my default keystore after login without any password as long as the default keystore has the same password as the user account. i set the password more than once but nothing helped. any ideas? [18:50] WACOMalt: I've used it successfully, what's your problem? [18:50] also during ssh sessions my passwords are not stored in my keystore as it was the last time I used ubuntu (i thin kit was ubuntu 9.10) [18:50] Burzmali: used whst successfully?

[18:52] I have two blank blurays I could burn to if I have to :P but I'd rather not [18:52] Desriptioned: Best wat to handle this is to use an ubuntu live cd /usb stick, use gpartion to resize partion to create free space, NOTE not all filesystem could be resized [18:53] WACOMalt: Yeah, not studio though. Multiboot works pretty well too [18:53] I thought gparted couldnt resize ntfs? [18:53] Descriptioned: pretty much what you said, partition so you give windows 20-30gb (you don't have to format it to ntfs but feel free to (windows will reformat anyway) finish install, mbr will have overwritten grub - ubuntu livecd restore grub [18:53] Multiboot? *googles [18:53] WACOMalt: gparted CAN resize ntfs, has for years. === Auv5[Away] is now known as Auv5 [18:54] i can't mount cdrom on ubuntu 10.04, as soon as insert the cd it appears to be a blanck disk [18:54] WACOMalt: It is the simplest method I've found to stuff random isos on a flash drive to boot from [18:54] Can gparted resize hfs+ [18:54] gnome is missing system preferences and administration how do i reinstall them [18:54] any help [18:54] arkanabar: well awesome :P [18:54] arkanabar, sorry my mistake I'm not using lvm, I'm only using raid1 [18:55] arnadelo: Have you been using the mount command?

How can I tell Ubuntu that the Webstick should be /dev/sdf? [20:25] thanks killaklown [20:25] k [20:26] Killaklown, because /proc is a virtual filesystem that provides a window into the running kernel, it does not contain files on a disk === administrator is now known as Guest69577 [20:26] alex_ your alsamixer error tells me that the package is probably broken and you need to reinstall - did you recently update/upgrade?

[20:30] virtualbox [20:30] e-d-d-i-e: yes. but you have to adjust the device path (/dev/sdxx) and the mount point. make sure both exist. check http://epistel.no/fstab/ for the fstab line. [20:30] well i dont want to remove the image [20:30] leftist: i tol du [20:30] just the app [20:31] it wont do it [20:31] i told u [20:31] alex_ before you do that you might as well if an error has been reported for your specific type of camera --- even though im pretty sure this is an alsamixer bug [20:31] check if * [20:31] i think its virtualbox-ose [20:31] remove that package [20:32] plantsVSme: what do I do?

[22:13] n1md4: the issue i had was that the os didnt mount any usb drives, because access was denied. i researched this, and realized that it was mounting htem to sdb, properly; however, sdb was also specified by the installer in 10.10 for the primary boot drive, and i could not change this during the install. so, the solution was to go after the install into fstab, obtain the uuid for the boot partition using blkid, and replace /dev/sdb [22:13] guess ill just have to climb a step down on the ubuntu ladder.

Is there another setting I'm missing?

I'll explain. Wubi is best for beginners because there is 0 risk you'll mess up your partitions [22:30] i like 0 risk, i am starting a journey of computer literacy [22:30] slide, hm... then you know more than i do ;) [22:30] I don't think he means VM, he means Wubi [22:30] er /sys/class/leds [22:30] i gathered [22:30] Benkinooby, what about sound? :D [22:30] yeah i was thinking wubi [22:30] instead of a virtual comp [22:30] slide, there is a good doku for 10.04 in the wikis.. don't know about 10.10 [22:31] slide, what you first have to do is to use lspci to see if your sond card is recongized [22:31] doku?

[22:53] tortoise: depends what your goal is. [22:53] and i know there is a way > if theres a will and yes i have been trying to write a bash for it but no luck so far crawler [22:54] r007, %r isnt working I'm saying .. the underlining functionality seems broken and I'd like it working for me like it aught [22:54] blue_anna ah ok [22:54] SianaGearz: I just want to get started with all of the things Linux can do.

[22:54] wow this unity interface really bites -- I think I'll re-install 10.04 [22:54] tortoise learn shell programming [22:54] crawler, i am just no good with vash so hard for me lol [22:55] valleybro78, does "boot" do anything?

[22:55] how do i allow myself to use sudo? [22:55] Blue1, you can install xfce [22:55] tortoise: he means bash/kpdsh/zsh [22:55] tortoise its code for the Linux shell [22:55] crawler, right now i cd /opt/fasttrack/ than sudo ./fast-track.py -i [22:55] xrdodrx says something about kernel [22:55] semisided1: can I get the old netbook remix? [22:56] Blue1, yeah you can download the old one still [22:56] Blue1, then use the login preferences [22:56] tortoise: plus all kinds of commandline tools. [22:56] SianaGearz: I guess, tldp would be the best place to learn that? [22:56] tortoise similiar to batch files for windows [22:56] Blue1, I actually rather liked unity, but it was too slow due to it being buggy :( [22:56] valleybro78, something? [22:56] Blue1, unsure, i have just switched from xfce to unity, i dont mind it [22:56] tortoise: if you mean this, yes. http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [22:56] brc, s [22:56] semisided1: okay I am d/l updates now -- I can't figure out how to get it to display military time.

[22:57] blue_anna, s [22:57] really cant say its happen on 4 installs so i slaped winXP back on out of frustration [22:57] tortoise: if you want a proper programming language with access to more of low level and high level libraries, you might want to learn Python. [22:57] KSN85_, ? [22:57] tortoise: if you want to seriously contribute to major software, you would want to learn C++ someday. [22:57] hi! [22:57] bl, sdsdsd [22:57] Russian_new_user_linux :D [22:58] hiexpo: http://pastebin.com/XS1p5Hd4 put that into a empty file and save it as startfasttrack.sh, make the file executable and try running it from a terminal [22:58] valleybro78, so you don't have the GRUB> prompt in front of you now?

[23:44] bonez2046 whats your ip doesent look like the domain resolves [23:44] Hi. DOes anyone know what happened to mplayer-gui? I cant find it in the official repos [23:45] izinucs, what?

[23:46] r007 173.14.239.229 [23:46] latagore: You probably want to use a distributed revision controll system like git or bzr. [23:46] xrdodrx: that is .. port forward in your router? [23:46] izinucs, well the website actually explains it pretty well, i just have to compromise the authentication security to get it to work on ubuntu... i was hoping someone knew a tweak to get samba using 128-bit authentication versus whatever is used by default, etc...

[23:48] it's very simple, actually [23:48] latagore: You're welcome.

[23:52] Garnasha, try running totem with the terminal, when it quits you should get an error message if you do it that way [23:52] r007 ok.. [23:52] xrdodrx: well, that's the thing, I did that [23:52] it just said "Aborting" [23:53] least helpful error ever [23:53] debug mode was no better [23:53] thats like gotta go lol [23:53] strange :/ [23:53] lots of output at startup, but when it disappeared, it just said "Aborting" again [23:54] which, to be clear, it doesn't do if closed normally [23:54] theres probably an error in logs [23:55] hiexpo: ok, where would it keep logs?
