[00:00] hiexpo: ok, I didn't find anything with "totem" in it among the logs [00:00] I did cat syslog [00:00] uptownhr because it needs root/sudoer permissions [00:01] hi [00:01] huge thing, as I quickly discovered [00:02] anyway, does totem use pulseaudio? [00:02] Has anyone else had the issue of Ubuntu 10.10 not connecting to the internet? [00:02] xFROzENFUSiONx: nope, not here. [00:02] xFROzENFUSiONx: there's always somebody [00:02] xFROzENFUSiONx: but everyone has problems at some point, no matter what OS [00:02] CRAPPY XBOX 360!! what file formates / codecs does this contraption read? for video files?? [00:02] Hi there, when using `free` to show available memory, what is it refering too in regards to -/+ buffers/cache: ? [00:02] hey there guys i have a really dumb question having an issue.. i have an item in my pendrive, and i need it unrar'd, i downloaded rar having problem with the syntax of the command [00:02] xFROzENFUSiONx: better describe your problem with details instead of making us know it doesn't work for you [00:03] Garnasha have youy checked /var/log/messages [00:03] FriGiN: unrar x foo.ra [00:03] FriGiN: unrar x foo.rar [00:03] xFROzENFUSiONx: if you have an issue ask a more specific question otherwise you're just taking a poll [00:03] !rar | FriGiN [00:03] FriGiN: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [00:03] !memory | rage [00:03] rage: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [00:03] ubottu: Exactly what I am after, ta :-) [00:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:04] i know what rar is.. im in term i type rar -e /pendrive/1.rar /pendrive/ [00:04] like i said im having issue with syntax [00:04] err, I mean, thanks jpds. Exactly what I am after :-) [00:04] tar -xf /archive.rar [00:05] but to my question again, I'd rather like to try out the unity interface as it will be in the desktop, or at least a fascimile of it, is there any way to use it without the full ubuntu-netbook package? [00:05] r007: done that now, it seems to contain a part of syslog [00:05] I'm upgrading 9.04 to 10.10. Well, actually right now I'm upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 so I can upgrade it two more times. Would it save a lot of downloading if I just get a disc for 10.10? Can it be installed over an existing 9.04? [00:06] ok, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.0 on my Windows box...installing via Hyper-V. The installation won't connect to the internet at all. It says it can't detect any connections, and well...doesn't connect to the internet. Any ideas of how to fix this? [00:06] Rakko: yes [00:06] ubuntu 10.10* [00:06] server edition, i might add [00:06] yes, 10.10 [00:06] xFROzENFUSiONx: I suggest you have a misconfiguration in hyper-v [00:06] oh, oops [00:06] Rakko: yes if you have a separate /home partition [00:06] Jordan_U: Not working out as planned. It appears that I require a server, and I don't think I can get into the trouble of setting one up [00:06] Garnasha check /var/log/dmesg [00:06] Rakko: to save your data that is. [00:06] thought you were correcting me, xfrozenfusionx [00:06] #ecuador [00:06] Rakko: to the first question that is, don't know about the second [00:06] hey how do you find out which version of ubuntu you have? [00:06] izinucs: oh, so the installation will delete my current one? [00:07] I'm not sure what I could've mis-configured in Hyper-V, all I did was install it. Created the virtual server, then started it. Could you elaberate more/ [00:07] Rakko: if you install fresh from a cd and you don't have a separate /home then yes.. all data will be gone.. [00:07] r007: side note, scim-bridge seems to be causing segfaults? [00:07] hmm [00:07] r007: tar -xf /1.rar nothing [00:07] latagore: You don't need a server, that's part of the advantage of using a distributed RCS. [00:07] ok, I will do that [00:08] ph never mind. i found it :) [00:08] xFROzENFUSiONx: well, how did you configure the networking? bridged? nat? local only? what? (I've not used hyper-v, but those are typical options) [00:08] sorry was gone Garnasha [00:08] Garnasha sorry not up to speed only caught this convo at the log location stage [00:08] Jordan_U: Then how would I share the code between computers? [00:08] FriGiN by default tar does not support rar you need to install rar support I think [00:09] It has an option to select the Internet Connection. By default it's "No Connection", but I chose "Local Area Network - Virtual Network". Am I doing something wrong? [00:09] there is a problem here,the fan of my friends' notebook is so noisy,what should i do? [00:09] ive installed 7zip and rar with the rar options [00:09] r007: ah right [00:09] tar doesnt support rar [00:09] there is a problem here,the fan of my friends' notebook is so noisy,what should i do? [00:09] im having problems with the syntax [00:09] totally different tools [00:09] FriGiN: unrar x file.rar [00:09] rar non free [00:09] unrarnonfree is the ine you need [00:10] there is a problem here,the fan of my friends' notebook is so noisy,what should i do? [00:10] unrar nonfree sorry [00:10] acacios: how should we know? [00:10] !repeat | acacios [00:10] linxeh: super sexy thanks for the helps [00:10] acacios: 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/ [00:10] r007: well, my original question was about totem randomly quitting and only giving "Aborting" as an error message when run from a terminal, even in debug mode, while not giving any error at all when launched from the desktop, just disappearing [00:10] ubottu offtopic | acasios [00:10] acasios: #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! [00:10] acacios: upgrading bios fixed my fan, that's all i can say since all that amount the information you give; try better #hardware ¿ [00:10] acacios: take it to a hardware store ? [00:10] i was trying to do -e not x [00:10] maybe your friend's fan is such naturally loud. Or maybe it's going bad. Not really an Ubuntu issue. [00:10] latagore: Create a repository on the desktop, do some work and make some commits. Pull that repository to the laptop, either over the network or with a flash drive, do some work on the laptop and make some commits, pull back to the desktop via network or flash drive. [00:10] acasios clean the fans :D [00:10] Sorry, theres so many people chatting here. Did you respond to me linxeh/anyone else? [00:10] acacios, \ hardware [00:10] xFROzENFUSiONx: well, how did you configure the networking? bridged? nat? local only? what? (I've not used hyper-v, but those are typical options) [00:10] super awesome guys. [00:11] I just chose "Local Area Network - Virutal Networking" [00:11] should I haev done something different? [00:11] ok,i am so sorry [00:11] xFROzENFUSiONx: what other options? local network likely means only the local network. you might need to select a "bridged" option [00:11] np [00:11] just installed xchat and it crashed, anyone know where the log is off hand? [00:11] That's the only option in the wizard...there are options to add a Legacy network adapter, and something else...one second, I'll go look it up [00:11] Garnasha is totem attempting to open anything? [00:11] is there a way to hound at the maintainer of a given package that has been broken with some hardware for the past 9 months? [00:12] KungFuJesus: email...? [00:12] especially when said software has an easy fix by updating a dependant library and doing a forward rebuild? [00:12] I emailed the mailing list with no reply [00:12] hyper v avoid with Linux lol [00:12] My options are to add "Network Adapter", "Legacy Network Adapter", and "SCSI Controller" [00:12] im using ubuntu 10.04 and no matter what theme i hoose, my window borders are grabable by only 1 pixel. does anyone know how to make them thicker? [00:12] KungFuJesus: then thats it, unless you want to get into stalking [00:12] KungFuJesus: file a bug or check the bug reports on the package .. there might be a fix already in backports [00:12] xFROzENFUSiONx: http://mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2009/10/installing-ubuntu-on-hyper-v.html [00:12] r007: no, it's playing a movie on my hard disk, sorry, should've mentioned that [00:12] izinucs: did that and did that, and there is no backport [00:12] KungFuJesus: either that or usurp the dev as the maintainer [00:13] they won't import the fix because it's not a binary compatible fix [00:13] Jordan_U: Networking doesn't work for some reason, and I'm not exactly concerned with version management, simply code transfer from one place to another, though git seems like a good idea in the future. Anyway I can get networking to work or UbuntuOne? I'm having problems with those, and thinking of them as my best solution [00:13] hrmm.. what kind of fun things can I do with my ubuntu laptop that I wouldn't be able to do on a windows machine? any software that's neat to try? [00:13] KungFuJesus: what package [00:13] or they likely won't, I have no idea if the maintainer is even paying attention to the bug [00:13] Garnasha how are you opening it and whats the video format? [00:13] hold on, I'll pull up the bug report [00:13] !ot > QuikNik [00:13] QuikNik, please see my private message [00:13] linxeh: thanks...ill let u know what happens in a few minutes. :) [00:13] my bad, :'( [00:13] KungFuJesus: File a bug report, or mark an existing bug as affecting you. If it's justified, and only if it's justified according to the set rules for marking severity, increase the severity of the bug. [00:14] xFROzENFUSiONx: fwiw, I'd go with running VirtualBox - its free, and decent (and cross platform) [00:14] Jordan_U: can't do that without proper permission on launchpad [00:14] xFROzENFUSiONx: I'm off to bed - its gone midnight here! [00:14] QuikNik, not get any viruses for starters and pretty much anything you do on windows you can do on linux > what do you want to do ? [00:14] i am using Compiz Fusion could this be causing these thin window border problems? [00:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2/+bug/596327 [00:15] I'm the one who filed the bug [00:15] in JUNE! :( [00:15] latagore: How are you trying to transfer the file over the network? What problem are you having with that specifically? [00:15] r007: it's a .mkv, with a slightly higher definition than my laptop seems to be able to handle(most scenes are fine but if the view changes a lot and rapidly the view freezes while the audio goes on), I opened it first through a context menu and then from the terminal with the file as an argument [00:16] siddhion: you can try temporarily turning off compiz (switch window managers) using fusion-icon or in a terminal type metacity --replace [00:16] hi i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook but now the touchpad sucks: horizontal mouse move is ok, but vertical is _very_ slow [00:16] r007: and then from the terminal with the --debug option [00:16] how can i fix that? [00:16] Garnasha whats your gfx card? [00:16] siddhion: to turn compiz back on run the command compiz --replace [00:16] r007: checking... [00:17] Jordan_U: I can't see my computer hooked up to the network and vice versa [00:17] hello [00:17] izinucs: as you can see, the fix is pretty trivial, but all dependent packages will need to be rebuilt against it, as it breaks ABI compatibility [00:17] Garnasha, that is hardware than its bogging down mine does that to some times also [00:17] Jordan_U: Though my laptop seems to recognize my router [00:17] siddhion: see if the problem goes away, if not take a screenshot so we can see what you are describing [00:17] does anyone know how to make with awk command a list from a phrase? [00:17] now it's been broken for two releases of Ubuntu and Fedora 14 goes on unaffected by this bug, it kind of irritates me [00:17] hiexpo: yeah but that shouldn't cause crashes... [00:18] latagore: "I can't see my computer hooked up to the network" means nothing to me. How are you trying to "see" it? [00:18] r007: I'm not even sure this thing has a gfx card, it was meant to just be used for officy stuff [00:18] mkv's arebig and will crash it [00:18] anyone keen on awk¿? [00:18] linxeh: It wants me to create a new network connection and use my network, but when I try, it says there alerady is one...am I missing something?

[00:20] Garnasha, yes [00:20] siddhion: yes, you can alt+f2 and run that command [00:20] so izinucs, what do I do next to escalate this issue? [00:21] so ... anyone knows how to make a list from a phrase in shell? [00:21] Garnasha, its not usually the vhe video or sound car usually the ram [00:21] txomon awk maybe? [00:21] i am doing a script for giving user's infromation [00:21] r007: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [00:22] crawler, ok well those commands do not do anything [00:22] r007: i know, but i dont know how to implement it [00:22] linxeh: I unchecked the checkbox it told me to and the box's internet connection cut, lawl [00:22] hiexpo: the entire file is smaller than my RAM [00:22] which by itself is a bit strange [00:22] hi i am on the live cd trying to install but ever since 10.04 the install won't write to my hard drive can you help [00:22] txomon sorry me neither [00:23] anyone [00:23] crawler, also i should mention that only the right and left borders of my windows are grabable by 1 pixel. i have like a 4 to 5 pixel grab space on the top and bottom borders on my windows [00:23] Jordan_U: Sorry about that, upon second inspection, it doesn't seem that it works on my laptop either. How would I go about setting up networking? [00:23] siddhion: ok well take a screenshot and upload it somewhere like imageshack.us so we can see the problem you are describing [00:23] siddhion: run: metacity --replace [00:23] I recently started using e16; ever since, when I close the lid on my laptop, it doesn't sleep. is there any way I can find out why, or is this an enlightenment problem?

[00:24] brb 1 sec [00:24] i said my question not to be rude ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 won't write to my hdd and i don't know why [00:25] i need help [00:25] My wireless is showing as 'network disabled' and I can't seem to figure out how to re-enable it, does anyone have a suggestion? [00:25] Jordan_U: Thanks again. Wish I could spend less time trying to figure out how to use Ubuntu and more time using it [00:25] only on install tho [00:25] crawler, well it is kind of hard to show what i mean. you know? i will do it though and upload a picture of my terminal window. oh by the way, the chromium window is fine. i have like 5 pixel resize grab space on all window sides [00:25] latagore: You're welcome. [00:25] joeoshawa whats the partition your writing to and what errors do you recieve? [00:25] if i install 9.10 or 9.04 it works but after upgrading it is totaly buggy [00:27] it says sorry the install has run into an error and says it cannot access a drive this is caused by a faulty writer or dirty head or drive errors [00:27] joeoshawa is it going from ext3 to ext4? [00:27] ext 4 [00:27] should i just change that [00:28] so any one does know how to convert file_row | ¿¿?¿?¿?¿?¿? | file_column ? [00:28] my brother is partial to riserfs or whatever that may be better? [00:28] Jordan_U: Sorry for the trouble, still no luck. Any tutorials out there on networking? [00:28] joeoshawa: eh, not necessarily [00:28] joeoshawa if your going from ext3 to ext4 might be worth trying to use ext3 or run an fsck on the drive first not used anything above 10.04 sorry [00:28] ext4 currently can outperform reiser [00:28] in my opinion ext4>reiser>ext3 === Maitreya is now known as Guest81738 === Tweedle[afk] is now known as Tweedle [00:29] of course, ext4 isn't as tested and tried as reiser3.6 [00:29] i know the drive is good i scaned it [00:29] a movie can use a lot of ram cause it loads it there first not sure how much but i know like if i play chess it will use all my gpu up and sometimes stop so i have to exit and restart it lot of things to consider gpu cpu ram etc [00:30] awesome, i just disconnected my box from the internet. god damn. [00:30] Garnasha you using onboard gfx by the looks of it so that will reduce your memory [00:30] the funny thing is since 9.04 i have used ext4 it is only with 10.04 that this problem started [00:30] I'm trying to run wine, on lucid amd64, I've installed wine, and when I try to wine any program, I get the error: "wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so"....what's wrong? [00:30] KungFuJesus, of course, ext4 is based on ext3, which is more tested and well maintained than reiser, which as far as I can tell, is pratically abandoned for the last 5 years [00:30] what does "actively refused the connection" mean? [00:30] especially now that Hans Reiser is in prison [00:30] yeah he used it with slackware a long time ago [00:31] humanMeat it was blocked maybe [00:31] crawler, ok here is the screen shot http://picasaweb.google.com/siddhion/BorderGrabProblem# [00:31] reiser also can do fun things like explode into a million bits if you run a fsck on it while having disk images of another reiser fs stored there [00:31] i am thinking they must have changed how the installer writes to the hdd [00:31] psusi: abandoned only because he's in prison [00:31] :-p [00:31] Namesys will live on! [00:31] KungFuJesus, no, he abandoned it pretty much right after it got merged into the mainline kernel [00:31] crawler, for some reason the screen shot did not capture the cursor turning to an up and down resize arrow [00:32] actually reiser3.6 hasn't really been touched because most of the work at namesys was put into reiser4 [00:32] r007: so that basically means I won't get it to stop stuttering, because that's the hardware being low-end. But why should that cause exits without any explanation? [00:32] and namesys is dead... but the next biggest programmer started btrfs which has many of the same features and goals reiser4 did [00:32] I recently started using e16; ever since, when I close the lid on my laptop, it doesn't sleep. is there any way I can find out why, or is this an enlightenment problem? [00:32] causing a conflict [00:32] I FINALLY SUCCEDED that was using xargs -n1 [00:32] Garnasha sounds like the case [00:32] siddhion: it might be the theme you are using, have you tried other themes too? [00:32] the ¿?¿??¿ was xargs -n1 [00:32] all I know is, reiser3.6 support better not drop from the kernel, because that's what I'm using for a good many of my systems that were setup prior to ext4 [00:33] crawler, i beleive i did and nothing worked however i will try again now and report back [00:33] dp if you google it that is a common problem there is a fix somewhere in the ubuntu forums but sorry i cannot remember the title [00:33] joeoshawa: common with e16, or common with ubuntu? [00:33] Garnasha sounds a bit winowsy but looks like otem is crashing due to the excessive load [00:34] common with gnome and such [00:34] * psusi needs to work on e2defrag some more... [00:34] what laptop [00:34] joeoshawa: even though I'm not using gnome? [00:34] joeoshawa: dell inspiron 6000 [00:34] there was dell inspirons listed [00:34] crawler, apparently that solved the problem! however now i am stuck with a them that looks crappy. is there a way to customize themes down to the point of changeing grab area thickness? [00:34] Garnasha have you tried playing it in vlc or another player? [00:35] r007: nope, not yet, I'll try that next [00:35] all i remember was it was something with a chipset i think i didn't really read it [00:35] i was looking for a suspend problem with a desktop [00:35] siddhion: no idea about that..what version ubuntu is that? looks like a mac lol [00:35] I think I just disconnected my dedicated server from the internet...this should be fun to explain to the host :( [00:35] r007: just came in here wondering why totem was dying and not even telling me why [00:35] I'm trying to run wine, on lucid amd64, I've installed wine, and when I try to wine any program, I get the error: "wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so"....what's wrong? [00:35] hrm. i have a linode box. I want to set up a vpn server (openvpn). I have the server set up and it says it's set up in logs.. i try to connect from windows client and it says "actively refused connection" what could it be? Google says : "maybe firewall, maybe antivirus, maybe port forwarding, maybe something maybe etc. etc. etc." [00:35] joeoshawa: ok. I'll continue searching. thanks [00:35] suspend in 9.04 was hanging my puter [00:35] np [00:36] Hi [00:36] Garnasha it probably doesent have an error code to display an error message for the error code [00:36] crawler, it is 10.04 , yeah i made it look like that because i thought it was nice and neat. what does your look like? [00:36] anyway thanks guys so other then ext4 what is the next best to use [00:36] and i will try it [00:36] siddhion: also, what theme is it, i can take a look === Patrick is now known as Guest40042 [00:36] or better if possible [00:37] r007: on a related note, I need to improve my programming skill, and my understanding of the inner workings of linux, so I can actually help solve things like this... [00:37] siddhion: mine looks like the default jaunty pretty much..never did a lot of tweaking to it :) [00:37] I feel so useless right now... [00:37] crawler, oh ok [00:37] joeoshawa: I don't think using another FS is the right way to go about fixing the problem. [00:38] but that's for another day, 1:38AM here [00:38] i didn't either === Guest40042 is now known as PatSter21 [00:38] joeoshawa: Can you pastebin the exact error and the output from "dmesg"? [00:38] ok crawler so it seems like certain themes have a retardly small side border [00:38] yeah one sec [00:38] r007: hiexpo: thanks for all the help [00:38] siddhion: what is that one called in particular? [00:38] crawler, i was using 'dust sand' theme [00:38] Garnasha no one knows everything dont beat yourself up [00:39] crawler, dust sand has 1 px side borders!!!! unbeliavable! [00:39] Garnasha, no prob sorry could fix ya up [00:39] ^ couldn't [00:39] r007: but most know a lot more than me [00:39] crawler, same with the Mac4Lin ones, 1 pix on each side [00:40] well, night everyone [00:40] Garnash night [00:40] siddhion: the theme i use has 3 pixels on each side...you try resizing from the corners? [00:41] siddhion: lower-right corner [00:41] crawler, right it works that way. [00:41] how can I open a window on a host from terminal? setting DISPLAY=0:0 does not work it seems... [00:41] crawler, but often i use the sides, its natural that way [00:41] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with eth0 connected to an Router and wlan0 broadcasting an SSID. There is a Bridge for eth0/wlan0 so that both clients (wired/unwired) are connected to the same Network. [00:41] Now I want to add an HSDPA/ppp0 Connection to this Network so if the Router connected to eth0 (192.168.0.1) is down I want to connect to ppp0 (running with wvdial) so that my Ubuntu Server and all other connected Clients can use the ppp0 Connection. [00:41] See http://nopaste.info/2770704d69.html for Details about the Configuration. What do I need to do that other Clients can use the Gateway 192.168.0.99 (my Server) if the Server is connected to ppp0? [00:42] crawler, anyways, screw it i will just use another theme but change the icons. its cool [00:42] Lordi a networks question no? [00:43] siddhion: ok, maybe you design a custom theme? that would be fun :) [00:43] r007: It is an Network/Bridge Question. [00:43] siddhion: as a weekend hobby...anyway, gotta go. good luck! [00:44] Lordi maybe better asking in a networks room maybe [00:44] thanx again crawler [00:44] crawler, good idea. later [00:44] !

[01:36] i will use gparted on my 10.04 upgraded it may be buggy but the installer is mounting them [01:36] and reading them [01:36] so maybe [01:36] i tried a lot of linux deviante with my new notebook but only ubuntu in the test mode runs good and the only system which i could install without problem was opensuse but i dont like opensuse - my notebook just runs 100% the whole time. with ubuntu my magic mouse runs perfect [01:36] be back [01:36] i'm setting up a RAID-0 with Ubuntu. I setup the RAID-0 with the motherboard but when its time to install Ubuntu, the RAID i setup does not show up. Any ideas? [01:36] hey guys im trying to make a dns server on my ubuntu [01:36] hi, I have been using windows xp until today, but now i installed Ubuntu, how do i get the staff that i saved on the hard disk when i used to use Windows [01:37] man my head is hurting from these tutorials [01:37] the same actually with xubuntu - i guess its the bootloader [01:37] ish_ install bind and create the zone files thats it [01:37] i dont know what all this talk is about network address , ip, gateway, dns, dns servers... [01:37] r007 creating those zone files is giving me a headache [01:38] http://pastebin.com/uLUQSAbb any idea how to solve this dependency problem ? [01:38] the tutorials say put ur such and such number here, but i have no idea what number is what [01:38] ish_ I suggest you learn dns before you ask questions on setting it up [01:38] hi, I have been using windows xp until today, but now i installed Ubuntu, how do i get the staff that i saved on the hard disk when i used to use Windows [01:38] brandong: Places > SYSTEM, or if it's not by that exact name your windows partition should be listed in Places > Computer. [01:38] anyboby say Chinese? [01:38] ish_: Eeek... If you don't know what network addresses, IP, Gateway, etc, etc, then you really NEED to LEARN that stuff before even THINKING about running your own DNS server. [01:38] http://pastebin.com/bE9SdCPc hi, i get this when starting gnome-do, which then diesz. [01:39] well it seems dns server is an alias for an ip addreess, network adress is ur own computers ip, gateway is like ur isp's Ip etc [01:39] is that right? [01:39] ish_ in a nutshell dns is the phonebook for Ip addresses [01:39] I need some help [01:39] anyone able to help w/ a weird boot issue? freezes randomly at a few different points, no real consistency as to when. if i use noapic and nolapic on the boot command, it boots fine [01:39] but without the 0900 numbers [01:40] my notebook cann;t run windows xp [01:40] id10t: Looks like you've found the problem. use noapic and nolapic. [01:40] when I use Ubuntu [01:40] there's 4.0 gb filesystem but there are only a couple of files [01:40] ok maybe the problem im having is figuring out what the numbers are from ifconfig [01:40] It's OK [01:40] canthus13, if i do, then i only get to use 1 of my 2 cores... [01:40] How would I get the size of a .zip file? [01:40] Anyone here know anything about audio formats? === EvilOtto is now known as Evil_Otto [01:40] ish_: No but close, no, and no but close.

I had to use that with my hp laptop, but it still used both cores with no problem. [01:41] I used usermod to add a existing user to a existing group, but it got the permission 500 for that group, so it cannot read or edit files... how to change it to 505? [01:41] my head is spinning, hopefully this can give me a good sens of direction [01:41] I need some help , my notebook cann;t run windows xp, when I use Ubuntu ,It's Ok [01:41] canthus13, this is the first box i've built in 10 years, and its kinda makin' me mad [01:41] Be more specifif [01:42] ish_: http://www.grc.com/ is a good site for learning about network security, although it's HEAVILY nerdy stuff he talks about there.

[01:43] ish_: And here -> http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/11/07/how-to-setup-a-dns-server-in-ubuntu/ is an article about the specific topic of setting up a DNS server on Ubuntu. There's many more like it on the web. :) [01:44] r007 - yes all looks good [01:44] I'm on the server edition. Thanks guys [01:44] ish_, i'll recommend looking at ispconfig2 or ispconfig3 [01:44] I am starter in linux, shall i install ubuntu or something else? got a macbook pro i7 CPU 4 GB RAM, know a bit of debian servers though.. [01:44] pille have you tried manually installing grub? === karrozia is now known as hexamin [01:44] I have a problem with audio players slowing down and/or crashing other programs [01:44] ish_, makes doing mail, dns, users, etc very easy [01:45] Ubuntu CN only one people [01:45] gmaister22 ubuntu is based of debian [01:45] and HK only 3people [01:45] Yes try ubuntu [01:45] gmaister22 if your familiar with debian no reason not to start with ubuntu [01:45] ish_: The only reason I say you need to learn more before you think about running your own DNS server is that DNS is a REALLY important service, and messing it up could make for a LOT of headaches for you. Also, if yours got "cracked" by some lame little scumbag, that could also create you a lot of headache. [01:45] r007 - no, i did not find any proper guide (i am pretty virgin in linux) [01:45] think is someone told me Ubuntu doesnt work well with new macbook hardware [01:45] thing* [01:46] was thinking Arch or Fedora maybe? [01:46] pille https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:46] for sftp, my username is (example) "xfrozenfusionx@google.com", and then the hostname would be "google".com. would i do "sftp xfrozenfusionx@google.com@google.com"? [01:46] Nobaby in CN and HK [01:47] yes [01:47] oh no [01:47] no you would go sftp xfrozenfusionx@google.com [01:47] which version of grub is in 10.10 ? [01:47] any Chinese here? [01:48] Ok [01:48] so guys any ideas? [01:48] xFROzENFUSiONx that should work I usually use root for sftp though and ubuntu doesent have default root unless you set it [01:48] 2 - i found. i read something like that the grub2 doesnt work proper in 10.10 . can you confirm it r007 ? [01:48] ARG, it's stuck at "Connecting to mywebsite.com" [01:49] hey guys, i recently started using ubuntu but it isnt cutting it for gaming with wine. does anyone here know anything about winflp? if so could you please pm me, i don't want to spam with irrelevant conversation.

[01:51] TSK and id10t thanks alot guys, I am definitely taking your advice to heart. I am going to know networking like the back of my hand before i mess with my box. Your generous help will not go wasted. [01:51] has anyone tried Ubuntu Studio? [01:52] ish_: Networking is FUN stuff. It's just a slight bit risky to enter into with no knowledge of security. ;) [01:52] skellington the problem is if you do get anything working at emulation level your running under max performance [01:52] I haven't tried studio yet... still downloading :( === ShironDrake is now known as ShironDrake_ [01:52] any Chinese here? [01:52] I agree with you TSK. I am mega pumped to learn, just having a tough time finding the right place to get the knowledge. Until you guys helped me that is. [01:52] ish_: You DO WANT your network to stay secure. That's important. Secure network = happy stable network. ;) [01:53] hahah [01:53] i want security that would make the department of defense envious [01:53] r007 im not looking to emulate, im looking to install windows (winflp) on my computer [01:53] ish_ if you need to be pci compliant make sure you look up dns cache spoofing [01:53] how do I extract .tbz files?

Can anybody advise? [01:54] aussa: i think you can use tar with -j options ... [01:54] got it r007 i've noted it down thanks alot. hahah nice one demoitio [01:54] ish_: Honestly tho, if you really DO want to learn networking, you chose the right place to learn. Linux is one of the best operating systems for networking in general. Has pretty much ALL the services you could need readily available to go as deep as you care to. :) [01:54] any Chinese here, I want some help [01:54] I try :-) [01:54] TSK i am in love with linux.

[01:59] hmm ok.. will just try it out an keep fingers crossed [01:59] anyone else having trouble launching firefox within sux in 10.10 [01:59] ish_ tcp/ip is a good thing to know but if all you want to do is setup a dns server just learn dns first [01:59] also cant use nano from xfce4-terminal 0.4.5 [01:59] falling: sounds like more of a windows problem, but I'd say you have some driver issues, works in safe mode, but not when everythings loaded... [01:59] ok r007, ill skip this and go to dns server then [02:00] I change my RAM and HD [02:00] i am now reading about dns on wikipedia. is that good? [02:00] and now i use in Ubuntu [02:00] ish_ you will probably take tcp/ip in better also [02:00] starredsteria, when u use webcam if it is really dark run the v4lucp to adjust it === blacksh is now known as blackshirt [02:00] when I use windows 7 also bluescreen === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [02:00] my display cuts off a couple of centermetres around the screen, how do I fix that? [02:00] ish_: TCP/IP is the primary networking protocol used on the Internet and most local networks these days, so it's good to learn at least a bit about it, but you don't need to know absolutely every detail about it at the deepest black magic levels. [02:01] falling what do you need to use windows for? [02:01] how do I extract .tbz files? I tryed wit tar -xvjf and -xjf but that didn't work [02:01] ok, ill skim through it after i read up on DNS [02:01] brb [02:01] Chinese banks [02:01] ish_: You DO need to know what an IP address is, and what DNS is/does, and what a firewall is and how it works (assuming you like to be somewhat secure-ish). :) [02:01] switching to lxfc [02:01] falling chinese banks why they restrict to IE? [02:02] lol. ok here is the order im reading wiki articles DNS-> IP -> firewall -> tcp/ip [02:02] now I use virtualbox [02:02] ish_: Ubuntu (and Linux in general) have a firewall built in, so you don't need to go download anything or anything like that, but knowing how to configure bits of it are helpful. :) [02:02] I am having alot of problems trying to install the latest updates on Ubuntu 10.04. It looks like my installed update-manager-core (1:0.134.10) package is corrupt. I am getting the following error using aptitude: "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal." [02:02] Using 10.10, my DHCP server is running but doesn't serve clients over a wireless connection. Can anybody advise? [02:02] falling: I have to agree with the others here- sounds like an OS problem. [02:02] yes Chinese banks only IE [02:02] fallig have you tried running IE in wine?

[02:08] someone know how to make gtklick working on 10.04 [02:08] ish_: Just out of curiosity, for what purpose are you planning to run your own DNS server? That information could be helpful as to determining what kinda help you might be needing, and which DNS server you should be researching. :) [02:09] I am trying to get sounds working in Empathy. Added the PPA, refreshed and updated. Several packages were updated, but the sound wasn't fixed and now I have the Empathy icon in the notification applet and not the messaging applet. Is there an easy way to fix this? [02:10] r007: where do I get them? [02:10] !info gunzip | aussa [02:10] aussa: Package gunzip does not exist in maverick [02:11] hmm [02:11] aussa: bunzip and gunzip are both available in the system package manager [02:11] aussa sudo apt-get install bunzip [02:11] anyone here usin' exaile?

In component main, is required. Version 1.3.12-9ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 100 kB, installed size 280 kB [02:11] This is probably off topic.. but I do wonder if Linux in general has any label printing software which can make prints compatible with label printers (dedicated ones, not those that print to letter sized sticker sheets) [02:12] ilika, gnome you mean. [02:12] !msg > TSK [02:12] TSK, please see my private message [02:12] yes [02:12] yagoo: rhythmbox, mythtv and VLC play fine, as far as I can tell it is only Empathy. I'll look into aplay, not familiar with it, thanks [02:12] oops, wrong one TSK :-) [02:12] hello all, just added a netgear card to my ubuntu box and "lspci | grep netgear" doesn't return anything. Is it possible to grab the vendor ID from the card? [02:12] Those packages I believe also contain the UNcompressor [02:12] TSK, message the bot. [02:13] miststlkr, in that case see what empathy is set to.. the aplay(alsa test tools) is used for testing if sound works at all.. u said sound works but just empathy.. so must be something about empathy [02:13] randomusr_: There is a chance it's using another chipset.. use lspci and look for something you don't recognize? [02:13] hey sry TSK was busy on wikipedia. I wanted to basically have ppl connect to my ssh with a domain name instead of an IP [02:13] how do i edit / remove and add shortcuts to the gnome menu on the left? [02:13] randomusr have you tried variations of the case of Netgear or looked at lspci without args [02:13] ish_: Ah... I have a SUPER SIMPLE solution for that. One sec. :) [02:14] Diamondcite: looking but nothing stands out [02:14] ilika: panel to the left? [02:14] r007 - i just install the 10.10 again - the round about 50time [02:14] fishcooker: sudo fuser -k /dev/pts/* [02:14] xrdodrx yes [02:14] ish_: http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ [02:14] ish_ create a dns A record for your Ip that ssh is listening on [02:14] randomusr_: Does "ifconfig -a" show any NEW devices? [02:15] ish_: You may still want to learn networking and DNS just for the sake of learning, but for instant gratification, grab you a free DynDNS address. :) [02:15] yagoo?: Yes, sound works on the system in general, but never has on Empathy. a google shows a suggestion from a few years back to install a specific package [name escapes me at the moment] to fix, but it didn't. another suggested adding the PPA and keeping up to date, but that killed my message indicator now too [02:15] Diamondcite: Just eth0 and lo [02:16] ish_: Oh, wait. SSH on a local network, or SSH from outside on the Internet? [02:16] Diamondcite: I'm going to see if that slot is enabled in the bios and try again [02:16] ish_: I use dyndns.org for that. free and easy enouigh that I was able to set it up *wink* [02:16] from outside on the internet [02:16] ish_: Ya. You want dyndns then. [02:16] ish_: That'll be your easiest and most reliable solution for that need. [02:16] xrdodrx yes [02:16] no TSK i wont go the easy route. Given all the help you guys are giving me, I am going to do my best to show its fruit in my increased knowledge of networking [02:17] ilika, is this a panel you added? [02:17] ish_ once you have a domain that resolves over dns just create a A record for ssh.domain and set the IP that ssh listens on [02:17] ish_: The "easy" route in this case is also going to be the safest and most reliable solution too. :) [02:17] xrdodrx ubuntu netbook edition [02:17] TerminatorX produces the following error when I click the power button: Error starting engine: failed to access audiodevice. [02:17] Please check the audio device settings in the "Preferences" dialog. - Can someone help me understand what i have to do to get this app working, or what this app is missing for it to work.... Appreciated Help is Appreciated === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [02:17] btw, on a side note IPv6 is pretty hardcore to read. I will miss IPv4 [02:17] ish_: Do you already own a domain name? [02:17] <[]pc> is someone use fltk on codeblocks - windows ? (mingw) [02:17] Hey what is the virtual desktop switcher that this person is using? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWzuIreDGA [02:18] i have the audio device set [02:18] TSK i do not yet [02:18] ilika, sorry, I've never used netbook edition [02:18] ish_ no need to bother with ipv6 yet :D [02:18] ok TSK i will go the easy route, but only after i educate myself [02:18] Diamondcite: If I can ensure that the card is installed, is it Likely I'll have to use ndiswrapper, or is there a loadable module? [02:18] is there a "ubuntu off topic" channel?i feel like chatting :D [02:19] randomusr_: Is this a LAN or a WLAN card? [02:19] yea r007 i hear only 1% of domain name lookups correspond to IPv6, but we are projected to run out of IPv4 addresses in 2011-2012 [02:19] wlan [02:19] How do i run the JACK daemon? [02:19] randomusr_: I would recommend looking up your card by model number on google with the word ubuntu ot linux inside the search and see if anyone else has had experience with your card first. [02:19] randomusr_: ndiswrapper is no longer supported. [02:19] ish_ if it makes you feel better I dont now much about ipv6 and I work for a web host :D [02:20] ok thank [02:20] Diamondcite: thanks [02:20] r007 it seems like its not much to learn, you would definitely ace this stuff. All they did was go from 32 bit names to 128 bit names [02:20] ish_: For what you are needing to do, a dyndns (or similar free DNS service) address is your best possible choice for now. You should keep researching networking though. Especially understanding about the firewall, and about proper and secure configuration of SSH tiself. [02:20] It's like I'm not even alive on this channel... [02:21] ish_ its just binary to hexa [02:21] oh lol that explains the multiplicative factor [02:21] BPower i see u [02:21] definitely TSK, i will use dyndns as soon as I am educated [02:21] ilika, that's good [02:22] ish_: Actually, dyndns or similar is best for when you are just getting started. Once you are a nerd-god, you likely won't need such conveniences anymore. ;) [02:22] ilika, the last several days no one has even acknowledged me on here. [02:22] oh btw guys my friend could use help with another question, he is trying to set up dual monitors on virtual box [02:23] lol TSK, I wanna be a nerd god. Why is that so appealing? [02:23] ish_: Here's also something you might be interested in. http://www.dot.tk/ [02:23] Free .tk domain names. [02:24] haha nice [02:24] ilika, you wouldn't happen to know what the name of the virtual desktop switcher that this person is using, would you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWzuIreDGA [02:26] ish_: There's other such services out there as well. Once you get your DNS server configured and running properly, getting a domain name for testing (or even for real) need not even cost anything. :) [02:26] Hi all. I'm trying to get iptables working on my server for Chef and the default rule is blocking everything [02:26] dude im already excited, youre just pumping me up even more [02:26] I'm putting my file in /etc/iptables.d [02:27] -A INPUT -p TCP --dst 10.0.1.179 --dport 2888 -s 10.0.1.177 -j ACCEPT [02:27] I'm trying to have my drives automount on startup (using an sh script) but for some reason, one of my mount points seems to remove itself from /media/ whenever it's unmounted, and then refuses to remount unless I manually put the folder there again. Help? [02:28] ish_: You are setting yourself up for a LOT of learning, no doubt about it, but networking is powerful, fun, and can even be financially profitable if you are good at it. ;) [02:28] Guys, what is vKVM? [02:28] I love learning, what can I say [02:28] helllo [02:28] KVM is Kernel Virtual Machine I think? [02:29] An in-kernel virtualization technology... [02:29] thanks vissible [02:29] Could I use that to re-enable a network setting/card? I disabled mine on my box by mistake, and can't log into my Windows Server anymore. I'm on a "rescue" system, running Debian Linux [02:29] toddine -A appends it to the end so a rule above will over rule it [02:30] toddine try -I [02:30] ish_: If you love learning then Linux is totally the operating system for you. ;) [02:30] blackshirt, hi [02:30] Hi I was wondering what the main difference between ubuntu and ubuntu netbook is? [02:30] I wish Ubuntu could host Garrysmod servers better, and host TCAdmin [02:30] dude you are very right, i was so ignorant on a windows machine [02:30] Conmiro, Ubuntu Netbook ahs the Unity interface, Ubuntu does not [02:30] Is Ubuntu Netbook any faster or no? [02:31] I have an Acer ASpire one and trying to decide what version I want. [02:31] Conmiro, it's supposed to be [02:31] unity is a work in progress and is not all that fast [02:31] Conmiro: Ubuntu Netbook edition is tweaked and customized for netbooks. It's mostly the interface, but other stuff under the hood is better for netbooks, too. [02:31] Okay is it better then Xubuntu, I read that was faster then regular ubuntu? [02:31] Conmiro, I have an HP mini 110 (I'm on it right now), and I use plain old ubuntu, and it's fast enough for my needs [02:31] I went back to gnome and its faster [02:32] ish_: You have no idea how many horrible bad habits I had to break when I first ditched Windows in favor of Linux. Oy... :) [02:32] Conmiro, in my experience xfce is faster than gnome [02:32] jiohdi if you want fast use run level 3 :D [02:32] if you want REAL fast, try icewm [02:32] ^^ [02:32] ish_: Rebooting all the time for one thing... I almost NEVER have to reboot anymore. Only for a kernel upgrade. :) [02:33] youknow ur right [02:33] ive never had a crash [02:33] Which uses icewm? [02:33] and my ubuntu starts up in 7 secs [02:33] ish_: Format and reinstall. Another bad Windows habit I had to break. :) [02:33] Conmiro: all of them, you can just down load it And use it [02:33] cuz of upstart im told [02:33] ish_: Oh ya. Upstart is pretty slick stuff. [02:33] If I install regular ubuntu can I change to netbook ubuntu? [02:33] Conmiro: you log out and use the options menu to log back into whatever you wish out of what is installed [02:33] Conmiro: yes [02:33] So much better'n the old sysv init [02:33] jiohdi: Thanks. [02:34] Conmiro: I have tried most of them [02:34] I'm Installing regular ubuntu on my netbook was we speak :) [02:34] is upsatrt installed on ubuntu by default though that was only on red hat based? [02:34] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 64bit USB thumbdrive mounting question... running as a guest on Win7 x64 on VirtualBox - gives "Failed to attach the USB device... " [02:34] Ubuntu is faster then windows xp right? [02:34] yea i was surprised. i was like is my linux corrupted where are my inits? [02:34] I started with a REALLY OLD machine and had to optimize for speed [02:34] Conmiro: mostly [02:35] 3142 is pi [02:35] ish_: Upstart takes some getting used to configuration-wise, as it's really different from the old init system, but it's MUCH more powerful and efficient. [02:35] 3.1415796something-something innit"? [02:35] ya i want to get into it as well, but networking is first on the list [02:36] so how come service foobar dont work on ubuntu?

It's been six months since I filed this and it's a fairly serious bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2/+bug/596327 [02:38] the fix is simple, it's just not binary compatible [02:38] Can Linux servers host Garrysmod/CounterStrike Source servers? [02:39] xFROzENFUSiONx: of course they can [02:39] Guest84942: There's tons of help available. You gotta be more specific about what sort of help you are seeking... ;) [02:39] Anyone here have experience with lubuntu? [02:39] ok cant get java to work [02:39] w1n5ton, there is a #lubuntu channel [02:39] thanks [02:40] win5ton: what the problem with lxde ubunut [02:40] I can't connect to wireless networks [02:40] Guest84942: That's a bit more specific. In the browser, or in general? [02:40] my card works and even shows networks in wicd but it will not connect [02:40] hello [02:41] sup [02:41] yes [02:41] are you form [02:41] What do I do if ubuntu doesn't recognize my SD card? [02:41] where are you form [02:41] Memphis [02:41] lol [02:41] Cinmiro [02:41] yeah [02:42] Conmiro [02:42] yea?

[02:42] type sudo gparted into terminal [02:42] sudo runs a command with root (superuser) privileges. [02:42] see if it recognizes it [02:42] My netgear (Marvell 88w8335) shows in lspci, but I need a module to get it up and running. How to do that other than ndiswrapper?

[02:44] just type it and hit enter [02:44] yeah [02:44] Conmiro: When you run a command using sudo it asks for your user password as a security measure. [02:44] GParted is a partition editor [02:44] Can I get help with linux mint here? [02:44] ki__: i think [02:44] ki__: You probably want the Mint specific channel. [02:44] it will recognize the card even if it's not formatted [02:44] What would cause really slow upload speeds from ubuntu? [02:44] it says command not found [02:45] ki__: Although, it depends on your question, too. Mint IS Ubuntu based. :) [02:45] !mint | ki__ [02:45] ki__: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [02:45] I'm coming in this channel everyday for the next month with this bug until I actually find somebody who has commit access https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2/+bug/596327 [02:45] holmser_: upload usually more slow then download [02:45] Thanks, blakkheim. I'm not edumacated on the bot usage yet. ;) [02:45] bug needs attention :( [02:45] I get stuck at 40kbs, while my phone on the same wifi hits 150kbs [02:45] Let me guess, it pretends to try to connect, then asks for password again and again, never connecting? That's what happens to me. (in 64 bit, 32 bit works fine) [02:45] KungFuJesus: for real? [02:46] holmser_: i think, it was limited by your system administrator [02:46] Is anyone here a regular? [02:46] 5 months is far too long for a serious bug like this to stagnate [02:46] has 10.10 solved proprietary wifi problems for notebooks like toshiba? [02:46] KungFuJesus: what's the bug? [02:46] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2/+bug/596327 [02:46] I am the admin... I didn't limit it blackshirt [02:47] KungFuJesus: omg, do you want a quarter? [02:47] holmser: okey.. what about download speed ?? it's run normally ?? [02:47] quarter? [02:47] to call someone that cares [02:48] system level bugs are far more important that a camera [02:48] guess I walked right into that one [02:48] Yeah [02:48] KungFuJesus: why not just copy to usb on another machine and load from that? [02:48] Or just pop out the SD card and download the images manually [02:48] randomusr_: because the bug is in the metadata [02:48] the point of digikam is to preserve metadata, to do that libkexiv needs to pull in the exiv data from the camera [02:49] KungFuJesus: again, system level bugs are far more important [02:49] which surprise suprise, takes over a minute per image [02:49] @rabdinusr Why not just use that other machine instead, as it works.? [02:49] We all have things we want updated [02:49] ok, it's not a random crash or kernel panic, but the problem has a solution that hasn't been fixed yet [02:49] qt-sdk is so broken in 10.10, designer crashes, even if you build from source i can not get it to work, been messing with it for 3 days, it worked in 10.04 for me [02:49] Hello, I cant start Ubuntu, it wont give me the option to login, it just stays there, with it's pink background color [02:50] cry cry [02:50] and it's a bug that affects a fair amount of people. I don't understand why people don't get usability is still a priority [02:50] I cant login from another tty, it tells me something about an error 11 [02:50] I personally am appalled libgpod doesn't support iOS 4.1 yet [02:50] is there a ubuntu-bitch session channel? [02:50] Licuadora, reboot and hold down shift [02:50] create one :D [02:50] I didn't bitch at first, but the matter of the fact is in most all distros this has been fixed, including debian [02:50] !ohmy [02:50] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [02:51] then when grub comes up select recovery mode [02:51] @semisided1L There is, and you're on it. [02:51] slaps ubottu [02:51] haha [02:51] i am ok, i just needed to vent about qt-sdk [02:51] w1n5ton: I am doing that... [02:51] hey, is there anyone who can help with a battery drain issue on an Acer netbook? [02:52] Possible to download my wireless driver from ubuntu repos over http? [02:52] Can I ask a question about mint installation here? [02:52] That usually fixes boot issues [02:52] where did mkinitrd go in ubuntu? to make the initramfs for a custom kernel [02:52] is the irc channel for mint /mint? [02:52] w1n5ton, no grub... hm [02:52] what I want to know is what serious system level bug the KDE Graphics team is currently working on that they're so distracted from fixing this one [02:52] KungFuJesus: If it's been fixed in Debian, the fix will guaranteed find it's way into Ubuntu sooner or later since Ubuntu is Debian based originally. [02:52] why are they so busy? [02:52] randomusr_ you should use the additional drivers checker for that kind of thing [02:52] No grub? [02:52] ki__: maybe you can here [02:52] TSK: partially true, yes. And Natti has a fix, but having to wait another 6 months is pretty unacceptable [02:52] RottNKorpse: what's that? [02:53] It just goes straight to a pink screen? [02:53] brianx battery drain issue? as it it drains too fast or what? [02:53] yes [02:53] it's a dual boot win7 starter/10.10 netbook edition [02:53] w1n5ton, wait.... [02:53] let me be the maintainer, I'll fix it, lol [02:53] KungFuJesus: Actually, most fixes in Ubuntu+1 find their way into backports sooner or later. [02:53] I am trying to install linux mint. Loading the live cd is really slow as it is an older machine. Also it said the desktop failed to load. So i rebooted into compatability mode and now I have the command line. I'd like to launch an installer from here ... is that possible? [02:53] the battery works fine on the windows side, but I get about ten minutes or less on the linux side [02:53] GRUB is very finicky [02:53] randomusr_ at the top left on the main menu go to System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers [02:54] I've torched it several times and had to restore [02:54] w1n5ton, nope, i did see the GRUB word in the screen for a couple of seconds, then went to the pink screen of death [02:54] GRUB loading? [02:54] RottNKorpse: no "Additional Drivers" on the menu [02:54] can i play blue ray on linux [02:54] TSK: well I'm waiting for the day [02:54] brianx oh sorry I dont use the netbook version of ubuntu so not sure on that one [02:54] @ki__ How much ram does this older machine have? [02:54] but as of now, it's been 5 months [02:54] can i play blue ray on linux [02:55] w1n5ton, there it is, now what? [02:55] mininessie: sort of [02:55] KungFuJesus: A fix is already in place in Ubuntu+1 tho? [02:55] RottNKorpse well, I'm likely to try to see what happens if I run the regular desktop distro [02:55] the menu loaded? [02:55] KungFuJesus, how [02:55] mininessie: the mythtv project in the up and coming version .24 is going to have great support, and there is a french player that works too [02:55] brianx I'd be interested to know if it runs better for you [02:55] you'll have to google for it, can't remember exactly how [02:55] w1n5ton, uh... I already selected recovery mode, now I have a ble screen with options [02:55] KungFuJesus, what is mythtv [02:55] RottNKorpse: I'm on a seperate computer from the one missing a network driver [02:55] TSK: the proposed version is .20, which will fix it [02:55] randomusr_ what version of ubuntu do you use [02:55] select boot normally [02:56] RottNKorpse I'm downloading the .iso now. I'll try it later tonight from livecd and see what happens [02:56] 10.04 i believe [02:56] mythtv is a homebrew DVR project, but mythvideo is a plugin for it that will soon be able to play blu-rays full w/menu support [02:56] ok brianx [02:56] (I'm using an external DVD drive, so it shouldn't have any extra power drain concerns) [02:56] RottNKorpse: I lised 9.04 [02:56] some blurays, can't say all [02:56] then enter your username [02:56] 9.10 rather [02:56] w1n5ton, and then startx? [02:56] and password [02:56] Yep [02:56] then reboot and see if it boots normally [02:57] randomusr_ oh you are on 9.04 ok yea different listing for that [02:57] will they really backport it? [02:57] Aw, shoot. I gotta run. Sorry, folks. Y'all have fun. [02:57] RottNKorpse: I lied it's actually 9.10 meh [02:57] * TSK waves "bye" and vanishes in a puff of electric green smoke that smells faintly of burnt electronics. [02:57] I suspected they won't because it breaks precious binary compatibility and apparently devs for stable distros don't like having to update dependent packages [02:57] o/ [02:57] randomusr_ look for the terms hardware drivers or proprietary drivers [02:57] would installing updates recognize my SD card? [02:58] RottNKorpse: I believe that's only for video drivers? [02:58] is it preferable with mutlipe inux os on one disk to create a separate home partition using gparted before ubuntu install? Or use gparted to make a separate home partition before ubuntu install? [02:58] no its for any kind of proprietary driver [02:58] Conmiro, it's most likely not formatted [02:58] w1n5ton let me see the log... [02:58] my card is formatted [02:58] I just formatted it on windows though [02:58] it will find video drivers most easily though [02:59] go to system>administration>disk utility [02:59] Guest43962, 1GB Memory [02:59] randomusr_ you could also try System -> Administration -> Update Manager [02:59] RottNKorpse: no internet. Thus I need my wireless driver [02:59] ok [02:59] RottNKorpse: I'm not wired [02:59] randomusr_ and from there click settings -> put in password -> the [02:59] Does it show up there? [02:59] no [02:59] randomusr_ can you setup up temporary wired? [03:00] nope [03:00] Anybody can help? Why is Ubuntu 64-bit less good with wireless than the 32-bit version? Should be, theoretically, no difference. [03:00] randomusr_ you will need internet on that machine to get updates and such - without all the latest updates it probably wont be able to find drivers - what is your nic? [03:01] on 64 bit my wireless worked right out of box [03:01] RottNKorpse: thanks for the input. [03:01] Licuadora, did it work? [03:01] Hey all! [03:01] Guest43962 64bit linux of any kind isn't the most supported but my 64 laptop works fine with the wireless [03:01] Guest43962: depends on how the ralink drivers are working. They are native, right? [03:01] Could someone tell me where I could manually download kernel module drivers from? [03:01] Conmiro, is it a card reader on a laptop? [03:01] yes w1n5ton [03:01] w1n5ton, I am not rebooting, I am looking for the log [03:02] randomusr_: it's probably just as easy to do an apt-cache source and build the modules yourself [03:02] but it booted properly right? [03:02] yea I'm just trying to copy some files from my sd card [03:02] Guest43962, actually, no. 64-bit is much different from 32-bit support-wise [03:02] the sd card doesn't have ubuntu on it, I just need files from th ecard. [03:02] but he should have them anyway, unless it's to a newer kernel [03:02] I am using Lucid, but I don't want to upgrade to Maverick. However, I would really like to have the new UbuntuOne interface/system that Maverick uses. Is there any way to just upgrade my UbuntuOne program in Lucid to the Maverick one? Thanks in advance :) [03:02] if you go to disk utility, Conmiro, it should say single flash reader or something like that [03:02] in which case he'll need to update his kernel anyway [03:03] hey back [03:03] it doesn't. Maybe i need a driver? [03:03] KungFuJesus he is on 9.10 [03:03] Well, my Ralink isn't working on 64-bit Ubuntu. It's an 'exotic' chip, but not a very recent one. [03:03] Sounds like it's the reader then [03:03] aroman not that I know of [03:04] still not sure what that has to do with it. If he needs an up to date module he needs an up to date kernel as well [03:04] aroman since it is built into the main features of ubuntu I think it is only possible to use it with a full upgrade [03:04] yeah i am running extended self test but ubuntu is saying the drive is not smart enabled but it is and the overall health self-assessment test says passed [03:05] Anybody know a way to become an ubuntu expert? [03:05] Like a course or something [03:05] and gsmartcontrol started with not smart enabled but changed when it read the drive [03:05] It's not like the driver doesn't pretend to work. It detects the wireless networks, then pretends to connect to them, only to ask to connect again and again. Isn't 64-bit support more important than 32-bit? [03:05] w1n5ton: why? [03:05] KungFuJesus I wasn't disagreeing...just providing more info as no one normally says what version they are using unless asked and since you got in the convo couldnt hurt to tell you [03:06] ah [03:06] how many gb are need for the ubuntu system files 10.10? [03:06] w1n5ton yes you can.... Google [03:06] well yeah, apt-cache source may be what he needs, or maybe you can find the regular debs [03:06] im trying to install roller coaster tycoon (nostalgia just hit me), and im a bit of a noob. i torrented the .iso, but when i run it, i get a "bad exe" error from wine. ive gotten this same error before, and ive just run in terminal, but it still wont work. however this is the first time ive tried running an iso with wine, the rest were exes [03:06] RottNKorpse, Ah okay. I assumed as much, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks. [03:06] what program do I use to run .exe files in ubuntu [03:06] Conmiro, if they're window, use [03:07] Conmiro, Wine [03:07] !wine | Conmiro [03:07] Conmiro: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:07] SpinachHead: it fits on a single cd less than 800MB [03:07] i would give 10.10 at least 40 gig [03:07] !appdb word [03:07] oh, so 1 gb and then 50 gb for home should be okay?

So far have 200 mb for mbf, 3 gb for swap and the rest for system and 3 separate home partitions [03:09] not the fact that the developers messed up the installer [03:09] This is what i got after rebooting: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9041618/bug.png [03:09] So here's the QotD... I'm editing my grub so that my background looks clean and nice/organized. I'm trying to edit the text that says: "Use the ^ and \/ keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the command before booting or 'c' for a command-line prompt"... Where can I edit that text? [03:10] joeoshawa have you tried a Live USB install? You can set your Bios to install from USB more than likely [03:10] i can but it is not working for some reason a friend said the only usb stick i have is not bootable [03:10] I have looked at my /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme , my /boot/grub/grub.cfg and many other locations, but I can't seem to find that text to edit it... [03:11] it is not the cds [03:11] it is the installer [03:11] it won't talk to my drive [03:11] joeoshawa, is it sata or ide? [03:11] sata [03:11] joeoshawa its not the installer...if it was then it wouldn't install for anyone...but since it does that means it is an isolated issue thus something with your system [03:11] it could be the header [03:12] try plugging it into a different one [03:12] i can and recently did install a 9.4 installation and it went like clockwork [03:12] but not supported [03:12] and i can't upgrade to 10.10 from it [03:12] Why not? [03:13] joeoshawa it could be an issue with the installer AND your drive not being compatible for some reason but almost all drives are so that doesnt make sense but just the installer itself...not possible otherwise everyone would have the issue [03:13] what's the equivalent for mkinitrd in ubuntu? [03:13] Swap isn't even really needed if you have over 4G of RAM, or even 2G. I have installed 10G of swap, yet never even seen the swap increase over 260 M. What a waste. I'd say a 12G partition is fine to install 10.10. [03:13] well all installers except 10.04 and 10.10 will work all distro's i have tried [03:14] it is only ubuntu [03:14] tecnico no idea but check out www.alternativeto.net [03:14] Should I just delete ubuntu and get winxp? [03:14] It's really confusing me. [03:14] winxp? Yikes! [03:14] Conmiro: don't give up! [03:14] ubuntu is great if it will install [03:14] simple [03:14] joeoshawa: Please pastebin the complete output of "dmesg". [03:14] joeoshawa, why can't you upgrade from 9.04? [03:14] Conmiro no no no...dont go back to the darkside :) [03:14] hold on [03:14] @joeshawa, you mean 9.04, never heard of 9.4 [03:14] what is the web site [03:14] no takers on my question on grub? [03:15] Conmiro: can I pm you to give you a hand with something? [03:15] 9.04 is the version [03:15] I only use windows if a company pays me and I am stuck for $ [03:15] ok [03:15] Conmiro: what your problem / [03:15] you upgrade that much it gets all buggy [03:15] how so? [03:15] It won't read my SD card and it's downloading updates for idk what reason. [03:15] geckpunk didnt see your question [03:16] So here's the QotD... I'm editing my grub so that my background looks clean and nice/organized. I'm trying to edit the text that says: "Use the ^ and \/ keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the command before booting or 'c' for a command-line prompt"... Where can I edit that text? I have looked at my /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme , my /boot/grub/grub.cfg and many other [03:16] locations, but I can't seem to find that text to edit it... [03:16] it says it fails to upgrade something and quits [03:16] Conmiro what kind of comp you have desktop or laptop and is the reader built in or a external card [03:16] Thanks for the listen RottNKorpse [03:16] not external but whatever [03:16] odd [03:16] netbook its built in [03:17] conmiro what is the manufac [03:17] and model [03:17] Acer [03:17] it is like 4 or five upgrades and it was origionally ubuntu ultimate [03:17] AO150 [03:17] but i got it looking awsome [03:17] lol [03:17] AOD150? [03:17] what version of grub [03:17] my login and everything is custom [03:17] Conmiro [03:17] idk what version of grub whats grub [03:17] and version of ubuntu geckopunk [03:18] Is it AOD150? [03:18] whats geckopunk [03:18] yea I think that's it w1n5ton [03:18] LOL [03:18] I have an Acer AOD150 [03:18] where do i paste my dmesg [03:18] and it reads ur card fine? [03:18] joeoshawa maybe the fact it is so customized that some of the stuff you used isnt supported anymore (just a theory) [03:18] @Conmiro, the truth is, many .exe files will not, ever, work on linux. Wine is (it thinks it's not, but it is) an emulator. Meaning it tries to make .exe files work, but cannot always. If you really need an .exe file to work, you should go with winxp. [03:18] In fact it's sitting on the table beside me [03:18] Yep [03:18] sorry for the delay... I think I found an answer in #grub [03:19] Why won't it read my card >.> [03:19] Also have an ASUS 1005HA [03:19] joeoshawa: http://pastebin.com [03:19] probably but the problem remains [03:19] Conmiror I was talking to geckopunk about grub [03:19] That I'm on now [03:19] cool [03:19] .net .exe files work in mono [03:19] ima try putting it in the other sd card reader === Auv5 is now known as Auv5[Away] [03:19] Linux computername 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [03:19] ok geckopunk glad you got it [03:19] CPU usage at 100% (one core at 100% always) ubuntu 10.10. and fans running constantly.Firefox is the only app running. any help [03:19] no luck [03:19] I don't know whay, Conmiro [03:20] Put a different card in it [03:20] your other reader?

[03:21] hey guys a DNS questions, are thier any domain names handled by the root nameserver and not the top level domain servers? [03:21] cause im a noob at ubuntu O-e [03:21] what, you have an external usb reader? [03:21] Internal. [03:21] @SpinachHead, yeah, you wish. I can name a few .exe which don't work in mono. [03:21] Acer Aspire has two readers [03:21] .......... [03:21] one in front left side one in back right side [03:21] Serioudly? [03:21] yea [03:21] well, the ones I make in mono work :-D [03:21] weird setup [03:21] Mine only has one [03:21] blakkheim: I killed Firefox once but no change [03:21] Conmiro: The right one should work, but not with M2.. left one needs to be inserted at boot. [03:21] hey all [03:21] netcitizen: kill it and check what is using the cpu [03:22] i have an issue [03:22] go on [03:22] SpinachHead: there are other processes too. but firefox is the only program that am running.

[03:28] !idonotgiveafuck > IdleOne [03:28] so I bought a new asus [03:28] lol [03:28] and then fixed the old one [03:28] So I have two netbooks now [03:28] teamviewer is awesome so yea i have it although I am not sure I can help you with your issue conmiro [03:28] how can I list the files belonging to package-X and how can I get a list of installed packages from the cmd. line in ubuntu? [03:29] tecnico: man dpkg [03:29] tnx [03:29] it's a big stinky turd [03:29] lol [03:29] tecnico : dpkg -l [03:29] w1n5ton pm me [03:29] joeoshawa that is true for the most part although 10.4 to 10.10 was fairly painless [03:30] one core of CPU usage always at 100% ubuntu 10.10 [03:30] joeoshawa: The error is in reading from the CD, not anything to do with the hard drive/ ext4. [03:30] Hi friends! I'm planning on switching to a self-serve server, where I will load ubuntu server. Could someone recommend me good mail server software? [03:30] keres: postfix [03:31] so what do i do [03:31] joeoshawa: Do you have a USB drive that you can use to install Ubuntu? [03:31] BlackCoffee, I found this guide http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ [03:31] no [03:31] oops wrong tab [03:31] w1n5ton: well it is. and those chingando clowns at acer made me ship their piece of merde to them for an rma, at my expense, and didnt fix it. [03:31] blackshirt, [03:31] ^^ found that guide http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ [03:31] yikes [03:31] I would raise hell about that [03:31] anybody help me? How to install kompozer, thanks! [03:32] i was reading that there is a conflict occuring with alot of ide dvd and cd drives [03:32] blackshirt, I'm assuming it is easy to set up? Would you recommend using all the programs listed on that guide? [03:32] come to think of it [03:32] w1n5ton: they make it very difficult to talk to a human being [03:32] falling apt-get install kompozer [03:32] it stuck cause the convo had linus in it [03:32] can anyone translate a Xsession error log to me? [03:32] You can always badmouth them on the internet [03:32] he was working on it [03:32] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dPRjiuw0 [03:32] keres: if you want completely, yes.. [03:32] hold on [03:33] if they had sent me to talk to some dude in india i would have been more ok than "send us an email, register on our website, and we will communicate that way" [03:33] hijos de puta [03:33] looks like noone has this cpu usage problem. there are some threads in ubuntu forums already but with no proper solution. [03:33] Yeah [03:33] offshore customer service is worthless [03:34] blackshirt, what do you mean? Are all of those pretty much optional, except postfix is the actual mail server? I'm looking to get this thing set up ASAP and then worry about spam prevention later. [03:34] RottNKorpse, ver is so old [03:34] joeoshawa: First, can you check the md5sum of the iso file you used to burn the CD? If the image is good we can set it up so that the image is read directly from the hard drive rather than the CD. [03:34] no, offshore customer service would have been BETTER than acer's [03:34] Ubuntu has better customer service and it's free [03:34] any overclockers around ? [03:34] it is good [03:34] w1n5ton: haha [03:34] because they didnt even connect me to a person. all their support was through chingando EMAIL or a MESSAGE BOARD [03:34] i checked it right away [03:34] I just dist-upgraded from 9.04 and now I can't boot. I appear to be having this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/542334 I'm trying to implement the solution in #14 but I can't figure out grub 2. How do I get the grub menu to appear so I can launch the console? [03:34] falling it should install 1:0.8~b3.dfsg.1-0.1 what is the current version [03:34] RottNKorpse, I downloaded 08b3 [03:35] joeoshawa: Great, are you booted into the 10.10 LiveCD now? [03:35] well not current but latest [03:35] yes [03:35] how to install [03:35] ok then. no solution for high CPU usage here either. it leaves me no option than to go back to windows. cant risk my laptop for this [03:35] you dont need to download it if it is in apt-get or the Software Center [03:35] joeoshawa: Can you mount the partition containing the iso image? [03:35] yes [03:35] netcitizen: man apt [03:36] got it [03:36] now what [03:36] keres: i think yes, based your needs, you can optionally install it later [03:36] Cool :) thanks [03:36] can any one help me solve this video issue [03:36] joeoshawa: Ok, at the root of that partition create a directory named "boot-isos" and copy / move the iso into that directory. [03:36] so in / [03:36] how can I download a driver from the repos's when the affected computer doesn't have network access? [03:36] right [03:36] rigel: what about that? [03:37] slopslaptop what issue? [03:37] I have to use SUDO with mplayer for playback in CLI, how do I fix that? [03:37] so /boot-isos [03:37] netcitizen: rtfm, noob. if you're having a problem, downgrade [03:37] falling you got it ?

[03:40] he's all talk [03:40] RottNKorpse, its 10.4 fresh install. I did apt-get update and upgrade and it gave me kernel 2.6.35-25 generic [03:40] 2) check bug reports, see if someone else reports the same [03:40] there might be a workaround there too [03:40] thanks RottNKorpse, i'll try that :) [03:40] 3) if need be, use apt to forge a downgrate to previous version [03:40] w1n5ton: ubottu is a bot. we use it to send automated messages. if you like, i can remove you though *smile* [03:40] RottNKorpse, when i boot to the updated kernel i get a black screen [03:40] next person to use bad language will be banned without any further warning [03:40] I know, dude [03:41] and also, everytime im recording my desktop (compiz enabled) same problem goes, only the login screen background shows.

[03:47] Diamondcite, it only thinks there are 2000, and 2500s. [03:47] Gate: I'll copy a file, chown it a see if that works. [03:48] cool [03:48] CkhiKuzad: use the 2000, the 2050 might be a variation for market reasons. [03:48] slopslaptop sorry had to go for a sec... are you doing a dualboot?

[03:52] Diamondcite, I'm trying to configure it as a 510, because that's another part of its name that appears to exist in the database. [03:52] yes it does..

Copying the file to my home dir worked. [03:57] disks suck [03:57] how much space is necessary for swap area? [03:58] disks never last the drives are made worse and worse every year and you have to burn like 4 disks to get one good [03:58] brverg: most use around 2GB but some suggest equal to your RAM. [03:58] and they charge a mint for them === Shiron_ is now known as ShironDrake_ [03:59] brverg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq read that to understand what swap is [03:59] hey [04:00] i swear for what it takes to get 20 gigs worth of dvd's i could get 200 gigs on a static drive [04:00] need some help getting wifi configured with the /etc/networking/interfaces file. i cant get dhcp to recieve an address from the router [04:00] is there a program that has mac photo booth effects? cheese's effects suck in comparison unless theres an addon i can download [04:00] joeoshawa: Ok, now create a directory /boot/grub/, and in it create a text file named "grub.cfg" with this as the contents: http://pastebin.com/04v5mXCe [04:00] mkdir /boot/grub/ [04:00] lol [04:00] joeoshawa: That /boot/grub/ also needs to be on the ubuntu partition, so the fill path will be /media/something/boot/grub. [04:01] swap = ram x 2 brverg [04:01] Hey, does anyone know if you can edit a kernel config file on Linux like you would on a BSD?

[04:04] brverg: you'll need a / with no less than 10GB if you will do a seperate /home (i use 15GB) and a /swap around 2GB or equal to your RAM, and if you wish a /home being as large as you want which this is where your files and configurations will be [04:04] brverg: yes, perfect [04:05] is there a program that has mac photo booth effects? cheese's effects suck in comparison unless theres an addon i can download [04:05] brverg: are you want installed more and more packages on your system ??

Like, transferring from one to another? (the files are on a windows machine, I have a linux box) [04:17] shouldn't 660 give my user full access? [04:17] * Sebasti is searching a Ubuntu 9.10 User, please tell me if anyone is around [04:17] it barely works as it is [04:17] snowsnakes: depends on if the users is on the group [04:17] resno, yes it is [04:17] snowsnakes: directories need execute [04:18] really... all of them? [04:18] you need execute to read them? [04:18] snowsnakes: just the directory yes, the files inside do not.

How do I terminate the one that is frozen? [04:25] white_magic, it didnt work :( [04:26] prtylghts: cuple ways you can do ps -A find the prosses then sudo kill and its id number [04:27] prtylghts: if you knoe the name sudo killall app name or id guy you can use xkill [04:27] i can't find the process. i have no idea what its called or anything. i know what i installed, but it is not listed in the system monitor? [04:27] what codecs or plugins do I need to play a DVD on my pc? I tried using vlc and movie player and neither work [04:27] prtylghts: you cn do sudo xkill and click on it [04:27] hi!

[04:29] i had it working with nvidia, basically out of the box with the out-of-the-box drivers but radeons seem to need more work [04:29] hi, i cant connect to my LAN after buying a new switch. i've tried restarting but that didnt help. does anyone know how i can debug this? [04:30] boxbeatsy: is the ethernet port in the computer know to be good? === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [04:30] brverg: this is a confirmed bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/610055 === colin_ is now known as smileMoo [04:31] ls [04:31] glassresistor: it was working before i swapped out the old switch [04:31] boxbeatsy: have you configured your new switch [04:32] boxbeatsy: normaly they act alot like roughters [04:32] boxbeatsy: cable? does the switch have power? [04:32] gogeta1: i didnt know iw as supposed to. i can connect immediately with my windows machine [04:32] boxbeatsy: ah [04:32] glassresistor: yea, i see the lights blinking on my port [04:33] boxbeatsy: IS UBUNTU SET FOR AUTO ETH0 OR DID YOU SET UP AS STATIC EFORE [04:33] boxbeatsy: oops [04:33] boxbeatsy: and the switch is pluggined into the lan?(just making sure) [04:33] joeoshawa: What is /dev/sda1? [04:33] whois Jordan_U [04:33] glassresistor: yea, i can connect with windows just fine [04:33] boxbeatsy: sudo dhclient eth0 [04:33] gogeta1: it is sert up for auto etho afaik [04:34] glassresistor: i'm getting dhcpdiscover on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval X [04:34] boxbeatsy: youe switch might need to be configured for 2 pcs [04:34] where x changes [04:34] did you run dhclient on your NIC device? [04:34] boxbeatsy: how many ports you whant to turn on [04:34] dev sda1 i think is the / partition for the buggy install [04:35] the other one is the /home [04:35] gogeta1: like how many ports on the switch do i want to use? [04:35] boxbeatsy: yea [04:35] gogeta1: 2 for now but maybe more in the future [04:35] joeoshawa: sda1 contains a fat filesystem. [04:35] ok, so restarting restarting gdm didnt help either [04:35] boxbeatsy: well your modem and pc = 2 [04:35] oh that is the usb [04:35] gogeta1: ah 3 [04:35] that is the one i was trying to boot [04:35] how do i get the libOpenCl.so, .1, .etc files for opencl available to pyopencl [04:35] it wouldn't [04:36] joeoshawa: I'm pretty sure that you're booting into the USB right now, not from CD. [04:36] it has ubuntu 10.10 on it but no go the bios won't see it [04:36] boxbeatsy: yea if you have 2 pc and 1 modem you need 3 ports unless it has a dedcated odel port [04:36] also is there a way for me to run an ati an a nvidia graphics card? [04:36] modem [04:36] I have an internal modem that I was trying to get working. I finally got it tow work and then all of a sudden the computer just frooze. I hit the power button then the computer wouldn't boot. I unplugged the computer and then tried again and still no reboot. I removed the modem from the PCI slot and then it booted. I then shutdown the computer and then readded the modem and then it rebooted. [04:36] no if i take the cd out it boots from hdd [04:36] when i try booting with both x/gdm fals [04:37] with the usb in [04:37] "chainload" is disapear in menu.lst. why? [04:37] Anyone know what could've happened. [04:37] so, if you use this "disk utility" in system administration, it just sits there whirling the indicator... is there a log file being written, or some way to see output from fsck? cause this is annoying. next time ill just do it in a terminal lol [04:37] it is an install but it won't boot [04:37] dunno why [04:37] gogeta1: well, the siwtch does have 3 ports, do i need to specially configure it for ubuntu? [04:37] joeoshawa: Try removing the USB then reboot (with the CD in). I think that will solve your problem. [04:37] i will [04:37] talk soon [04:37] can anyone here help me with a problem about some configurations that are lost after a restart?! [04:37] gogeta1: cause when i plug my windows machine in it just works [04:37] brb [04:37] boxbeatsy: umm it should just work in ubuntu to [04:38] also anyone else notice the wallpaper plugin for compiz glitchying out in 10.10 [04:38] boxbeatsy: is it lighting up [04:38] anyone [04:38] gogeta1: yup [04:39] boxbeatsy: im thinking maybe you got the switch set to only 2 ports and its just blocking the 3rd pc [04:39] would suggest unistalling 10.10 and reinstalling 10.04? [04:40] boxbeatsy: my roughter has that setting at least and i had to figure that out lol [04:40] brverg: would taking the commit=0 out of fstab be an issue for you? [04:40] gogeta1: but i only have the modem and one cable plugged in right now. and when i try my windows machine it works, but just not for ubuntu [04:40] boxbeatsy: i just turned all the poerts on [04:40] ls [04:40] smileMoo: Could rephrase your question / elaborate? [04:40] ideas who/where I report missing files in old-releases.ubuntu.com ? [04:40] boxbeatsy: wait is it a modem/lan [04:40] shjen: in windows use winscp to connect. use the internal ip of the ubuntu box.. please keep the discussion in this channel [04:41] gogeta1: modem [04:41] boxbeatsy: modem with lan ports or modem with lan switch [04:41] I don't understand [04:42] boxbeatsy: cable modems need to be reset for linux for the new mac adress [04:42] gogeta1: im unclear on your question. i bought a switch, and im plugging the modem into the switch sot hat i can connect multiple computers to the network [04:42] brverg: pastebin /etc/fstab .. in a terminal type cat /etc/fstab then copy paste that. [04:42] boxbeatsy: ok modem on a switch [04:42] boxbeatsy: you may need to tell the switch to use more ports [04:42] boxbeatsy: if it has softwhere controle [04:43] someone to help? [04:43] gogeta1: i dont believe it does..at least not in the included instructions. and, if the port isnt enabled, windows shouldnt work anyways though right? [04:43] kk will keep discussion in this channel. [04:43] boxbeatsy: i bet if you swap cables on the switch ubuntu will work and windows whont [04:43] hey do any of you guys recommend a semi-simple (but not too simple) free video editing package? [04:43] gogeta1: it's the same cable im trying [04:44] there's only one cable aside from the modem [04:44] boxbeatsy: you try resetting the switch [04:44] gogeta1: yea :\ [04:44] anyone savvy with win7 dual boot installs? mine seems to be completely missing and any help would be appreciated :D [04:44] boxbeatsy: does the switch have a firewall [04:44] I boot from flash disk, but the "chainload" statement disappear [04:45] how [04:45] boxbeatsy: you probly have to go in the switch settings and allow ubuntu the windows cd you used probly did it for you [04:45] bootstrap is grub2 [04:46] boxbeatsy: it might have mac adress filtering on [04:46] grub4dos boot from grub2 [04:47] gogeta1: how do i go into the switch settings though? im looking at the instructions, an dit doesnt mention connecting directly to the switch [04:47] gogeta1: it's not a wireless router [04:47] boxbeatsy: what kind of switch is it [04:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/527993/ [04:47] boxbeatsy: true but some switches are softwhere controled mutch like roughters [04:48] Bastid : Ok, I have the winSCP open, I found my IP of the linux box that the router gives me. Host name would be the IP address of the linux box? and the username would be the computer name? [04:49] brverg: i don't know what else to do since it is a known bug with no fix as of yet. [04:49] boxbeatsy: what model switch you have [04:49] shjen: yes hostname is the IP and username is your username on the ubuntu box [04:49] hey guys [04:50] boxbeatsy: see how to contole it [04:50] Bastid : Do I need the MAC address for anything? [04:50] h [04:50] shjen: winscp does not have a place for the MAC address iirc [04:50] gogeta1: dynex 5-port 10/100Mb ethernet switch (model # may be DX-ESW5) [04:50] fack [04:50] hi to all, I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 ive burned the iso to 3 discs, but all gave me the same problem. I am stuck on the purple screen with only mouse cursor loading... is this a common issue? [04:50] Ok. Did 10.04 had this bug? [04:50] gogeta1: im looking through all the stuff that cmae with it but dont see insructions on connecting directly ot it [04:51] brverg: not that i can find. [04:51] hello guys, is it a fact that Ubuntu OS is better than any other OS available out there? I mean performance wise? [04:51] BrianEvo: there is no simple answer to that. [04:52] hi to all, I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 ive burned the iso to 3 discs, but all gave me the same problem. I am stuck on the purple screen with only mouse cursor loading... is this a common issue? [04:52] boxbeatsy: yea im pulling up the manul [04:52] •SwedeMike• I am really new at it.. I have been using windows all my life.. and really I am curious about other OS especially Ubuntu [04:52] hey guys, whats the best way to recover lost data from an overwritten partition? [04:52] •SwedeMike• what can Ubuntu offer me that Windows cant? [04:53] gogeta1: cool thanks [04:53] boxbeatsy: someone posted a issue like your only 1 pc connecting [04:53] BrianEvo, ubuntu is free, windows isnt [04:53] Thanks [04:53] BrianEvo: these questions are waaaay too general and subjective. There are whole books written on the subject. [04:53] brverg: best of luck [04:54] Oh thats a one big thing that it is free [04:54] I am dual booting, have both Windows and Ubuntu 10.10, the sound works on Windows, but not on Ubuntu [04:54] Bastid: Just making sure. So when I enter the ip as host name...ex : 192.168.2.9 then the user name : shjen-AOA150 Port : 22 It says "Invalid access to memory" ? [04:54] I've tried all different combinations in my sound options, but nothing gets the sound back [04:54] BrianEvo: if you google for "why choose linux over windows" you find lots of people writing their opinions... [04:54] for example, I have an HTC Evo, I do not like the stock kernel/system in it, therefore I choose to replace it with custom roms built by independent programmers [04:55] •SwedeMike• If you do not mind me asking, why do you use Ubuntu personally? [04:55] gogeta1: i think i found the thread you're ooking at. is the problem that the modem can't assign IP's cause it's not configured for DHCP? [04:55] hi all, I'm having some trouble with grub2. Anytime I (or any program) tries to write any files in /boot/grub, it fails with a permission denied error [04:55] gogeta1: and if so, can i manually assign my own IP [04:55] any suggestions? [04:56] BrianEvo: because I find it more flexible and works the way I want an OS to work. [04:56] (this includes update-grub), which fails miserably if it can't write in /boot/grub, obviously) [04:56] i have a question, my grandmothers pc i want to set up with VNC so i can remote in to fix issues from home, but the pc is behind a router, how can i get this set up so even when the ip changes i can still get a connection ? [04:56] shjen: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_invalid_access_to_memory , i would suggest a different version of winscp [04:56] •SwedeMike• do you ever use Windows at all? [04:56] Anybody? Can you help with sound issues? [04:56] BrianEvo: yes, for gaming and on my work computer. [04:57] once I "make" a file, can I move that folder later? === epx is now known as Guest1966 [04:58] boxbeatsy: it says only managed ports will give a ip [04:58] hi [04:58] boxbeatsy: try using a diffrent port === umer is now known as umer-siddiqui [04:59] •SwedeMike• that is my another concern, I use my computer for gaming and web surfing purposes [04:59] gogeta1: that didnt help :\ [04:59] gogeta1: tried two other ones [05:00] Bastid: So all that is right though? I'll try some other versions. Thank you so much. [05:00] •SwedeMike• is Ubuntu friendly to PC games? I know some software can be installed in ubuntu through wine, virtual box and etc [05:00] hello all [05:00] shjen: yes, hostname = your IP and username = your username on the ubuntu box [05:00] smileMoo: Please describe exactly what you're trying to do, with complete sentences. [05:01] When installing ubuntu i can't get passed the "who am i screen" [05:01] I fill out all the info but i can't get the next button to light up.. [05:01] Hi I deleted the ubuntu partition and now I can't boot into my next partition. [05:01] And then the install goes up to the Ready when you are screen. [05:01] BrianEvo: I don't know. [05:01] Conmiro: What OS is on the other partition? [05:01] •SwedeMike• I just read it, trying to get the concept of this Ubuntu OS, its cool that you can edit your main theme design for your desktop and all, it sounds like an android phone, there are many apps available to modify your android phone, same as Ubuntu, lots of ppl contributing to make Ubuntu interesting since its an open source [05:02] boxbeatsy: you might have to use static ips on a switch they dont have a dhcp server [05:02] it's a D2d recovery partition [05:02] im trying to boot from it [05:02] but I think grub is overriding [05:02] anyone help? [05:02] I installed the Ubuntu game but now my computer windows is gone [05:03] why yahoo mail is fuzzy on firefox ubuntu [05:03] delete system32 [05:03] Conmiro: Are you currently booted into an Ubuntu LiveCD on that machine? [05:03] !ops | w1n5ton [05:03] w1n5ton: Help! Channel emergency!

[05:03] boxbeatsy: thats probly your issue windows if it cant find a ip will auto set a local ip [05:03] Yeah i burned the ISO in my cd [05:03] ubuntu liveUSB [05:03] yea [05:03] Conmiro: Don't listen to w1n5ton. [05:03] abc [05:04] delete system32? [05:04] boxbeatsy: you probly are better off with a roughter you can wire those up to use cable modems easly [05:04] w1snton is liar [05:04] step one, delete system32 [05:04] wheres system32 at [05:04] needhelp1 liar [05:04] Conmiro don't do this [05:04] Conmiro: NO. That would make the recovery partition unbootable. w1n5ton and needhelp1 are both trolls. [05:04] gogeta1: i see ok lemme try setting a static IP [05:04] oh [05:05] I'm not a troll [05:05] I was kidding [05:05] boxbeatsy: and roughters have dhcp and firewalls and cab be controled [05:05] When I start the program zgv it returns a mouse error. I've edited svgalib.config every-which-way for "Mouse type: None" (and a host of other mouse types) but zgv stills returns errors. Any ideas? [05:05] can [05:05] w1n5ton: Malice is never funny. [05:05] Hello, is there the gdrive in ubuntu? like windows have..? [05:05] guys, what's my best shot at recovering a win filesystem and its data if my ubuntu install (supposed to be a dual boot) used my entire HD? [05:05] karthick you can use samba [05:05] how do i get rid of grub? [05:06] boxbeatsy: i still have a old wired linksys hear lol i replaced it with a wired/wireless [05:06] gogeta1: ok i need to restart. if this doesnt work ill just go buy a router. thanks for all your help man! [05:06] I've been helping him all night [05:06] I want to boot from my partition but somethings preventing me from doing so and i think its grub cause i keep getting a grub error when I boot even though I deleted the ubuntu partition [05:06] Anyone know of an app that will allow me to break up my screen into different zones that i can maximize windows in, etc? [05:06] boxbeatsy: switches dont seem to like haveing more then 1 pc on at a time [05:06] i get a grub_rescue thingy [05:06] boxbeatsy: why there called swittches [05:07] is there something i can type here to boot into my partition? [05:07] umer-siddiqui: I am talking abt gmail drive [05:07] Conmiro: In the live Ubuntu system "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mbr" then run "sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX". Be *VERY* carefull about what device you choose for the "sdX" portion though. [05:07] Jordan_U: He can't do that. He deleted his Ubuntu partition [05:07] Jordan_U: Oh, live. right [05:07] yea liveUSB [05:07] Bastid: Okkkk! Making progress. It now connects, and authenticates. Asks for a password, if I put in the ubuntu root password, says denied. [05:07] but can I just use grub_rescue to run a command [05:08] once I "make" a file, can I move that folder later? [05:09] Conmiro: The grub rescue shell is very limited because it needs to fit in the small space between the mbr and first partition. It's only purpose is to allow you to find the rest of grub when something goes wrong, but that's not possible since the partition is comepletely gone. [05:09] oh [05:09] ok so ill run those things u said to run [05:09] do i need internet connection for that? [05:09] Conmiro: Yes. [05:10] crud [05:10] Hey all, I seem to have lost all administrative rights on a PC I'm working on, I was under the impression that using the recovery mode could grant root access it [05:10] Belboz9999: That's correct. [05:10] I can't seem to access the bootloader, the system seems to jump straight from POST to login [05:11] Belboz9999: Hold shift during boot. [05:11] sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install mbr" then run "sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX". Be *VERY* carefull about what device you choose for the "sdX" portion though. [05:11] Jordan_U: ah, shift brings up the hidden bootloader, was wondering if they changed the hot-key around [05:11] Is that all one command? [05:11] or did you seperate them by semicolons [05:12] shjen: there is no root password for ubuntu.. use YOUR username and password [05:12] also which device shud i use for the sdX? [05:13] Conmiro: Semicolons mark the end of a command in bash, so if you run a list of commands separated by semicolons in the terminal they will run one after the other. [05:13] once I "make" a file, can I move that folder later? [05:13] !repeat > aussa [05:13] aussa, please see my private message [05:13] jordan can you PM me I'm having trouble following you [05:13] Conmiro: Sure. [05:14] Can anyone here help me with my install issues? [05:14] Shocked: Your username needs to be all lower case. [05:14] oh.. [05:14] That was simple i'll give it a shot. === Foobaz is now known as Kalkin [05:15] Bastid: Right, I understand that. My username and password...That would be my linux box's login? Or the internet? My internet is unsecured... [05:16] shjen: yes [05:16] shjen: giku adin pass adin thrn you are logged in [05:16] shjen: like [05:17] •gogeta1• what do you use Ubuntu personally? [05:17] Maybe I'm not doing something on the linux side thats required? [05:17] shjen: if your wifi is open it should just connect [05:17] gogetal, yeah, thats right. [05:17] shjen: your wifi is not working? [05:17] shjen: everything you enter into winscp will be your ubuntu credentials. username and password of the ubuntu box. [05:17] gogetal: the wifi is working, I'm online on both the windows box and yours [05:17] Jordan_U u are a ubuntu savior [05:18] shjen: maybe i missed the question [05:18] joeoshawa: :) [05:18] BrianEvo: yes i use ubuntu lol [05:18] i am talking to you from my new ubuntu ultimate install [05:18] BrianEvo: my netbook has 10.10 [05:18] er modgr.com [05:18] sorry [05:18] wasnt spamming [05:19] the usb drive has no boot record i guess so it must have used the one off the cdd [05:19] shjen: so what was the question [05:19] cd [05:19] Bastid: I definatley understand that the ubuntu credentials are the same. If I am running the Winscp on the windows box, what do I need to do to the linux box to retreieve connection? [05:19] so the cd booted the usb stick [05:19] shjen: have openssh-server installed [05:19] when i pulled it out everything froze [05:19] shjen: oh winscp [05:19] Bastid: Right, installed and open. [05:20] shjen: then all should work, what error are you getting from winscp? [05:20] shjen: you whant to connect to your windows ftp server [05:20] Bastid: wait...I might be wrong. Gimem a minute. [05:20] joeoshawa: You probably shouldn't depend on that USB drive for any critical files. The fact that you got IO errors (which we now know were from the USB, not the CD) suggests it may be corrupting data. [05:20] shjen: gftp is a good ubuntu ftp client [05:20] that would explain alot [05:20] •gogeta1• personally, what do you use in Ubuntu? i mean what activities do you do while using Ubuntu? [05:20] gogetal: Yeah, I want to transfer files from my windows box to my linux box [05:20] it was for a coolsat system that would never work [05:20] empathy is no longer showing in the messaging indicator, it has its own icon in the notifications applet now, how can I "fix" that? [05:21] shjen: well samba can do that just by using windows defuly sharing [05:21] never thought about it [05:21] defult [05:21] never really did much with it [05:21] yes [05:21] which may also be why the bios wouldn't see it [05:21] corrupted [05:21] shjen: just share a folder the in ubuntu use conect to and windows server type thenip and wala [05:22] thank god it wasn't my 1tb drive [05:22] then [05:22] i would lose it [05:22] thank you so much [05:22] shjen: just tell windows you can read and write to the share [05:22] hey, deb file is a binary distribution. right? [05:23] wonder why the 4.2 disk wouldn't work last year [05:23] Ubuntu is not user friendly for me =\ [05:23] shjen: to do it via ftp instal gftp then type your local ip into it [05:23] it worked in my ex's [05:23] v-himanshu: maybe right.. [05:23] hers is still going strong [05:23] shjen: it should connect [05:23] oh well [05:23] Conmiro: i think so.. [05:23] joeoshawa: You're welcome. [05:23] thanks [05:23] I said for me, it might be for you though. [05:24] gogetal: So in the windows box, put all files in the shared files folder, allow sharing, then install gftp on windows box? [05:24] blackshirt: what else it can be [05:24] shjen: well samba you only need to use a shared folder no ftp [05:24] host file has 3 localhost entries. Prev versions was 2. ipv4 and ipv6 --- do i need this otherone? http://paste.ubuntu.com/528002/ [05:24] hey jordan do you know firewalls [05:24] shjen: if you whant to use ftp insteed just install gftp in ubuntu type in windows ip [05:24] why gftp? [05:24] blackshirt: and once you download it, how do you install it? [05:25] why are some people's names red? [05:25] the built in ftp client is fine [05:25] blakkheim: will any ftp gftp is just defult gnome lol [05:25] blakkheim: i dont think ubuntu includes one and i dont think hes good with bash [05:25] v-himanshu: if you mean binary is like "executable exe " on windows..maybe true, but it can contain script, library, documentation, or maybe source [05:25] Gogetal: Lemme try this Samba out, I'll get back to ya. [05:25] gogeta1: there should be a built in ftp client with coreutils i thought.. [05:26] blackshirt: thanks. [05:26] blakkheim: ywwa bash based [05:26] Conmiro: i have no familiar with ubuntu to... [05:26] gogeta1: it has nothing to do with bash [05:26] blackshirt: any idea of an irc where you can post ubuntu cde related Q [05:26] shjen: windows firewall might block samba sharing at first you will need to adjust te settings or turn it off [05:26] blackshirt I don't understand your English, sorry. [05:27] blackshirt: s/cde/code [05:27] shjen: but as long as its on the same subne it shouldent [05:27] subnet [05:27] Conmiro : okey.. === n8t is now known as Guest42725 === Guest42725 is now known as n8t_ [05:28] blackshirt are you going that on purpose? [05:28] doing* blackshirt [05:28] Conmiro: no [05:28] Conmiro, normally red means they've said your name, but this can change from irc client to irc client [05:28] gogetal: Heard, thanks bro. lemme hit this up. [05:28] v-himanshu: what you mean ?? like pastebin ?? [05:29] I was having a casual bath with my laptop near the edge. I shifted a bit and it fell in. I was lucky it was off at the time. What would be the command to turn the fans on to help dry the inside of it? [05:29] shjen: hears a guide with pics so you knoe what to lookfor [05:29] shjen: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/09/quickly-access-windows-shares-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/ [05:29] Should i use gkrelm? [05:29] i was wondering (anyone) if you were going to do a hardware firewall would you just use iptables or what would be the most secure setup [05:29] shjen: just entering the ip pulls up all shares [05:29] Conwiro: sory for my bad english, i'm not naturally speak on english.. [05:29] hey stupid question but how do I find out where everything in a package is installed to? [05:30] Conmiiro: sory for my bad english, i'm not naturally speak on english.. [05:30] I hear Dells need to have a special plugin to run the fans [05:30] soulwarp: that isn't Ubuntu related but seriously don't turn that laptop on unless you want it to start a fire. [05:31] IdleOne, okay I'll try to get it dry first. Maybe set it out for a day [05:31] soulwarp ewwww not goot for the lcd [05:31] furryotter: check it with dpkg -L some-packages [05:31] blackshirt: thanks [05:31] or the rest of it for that matter just leave it out and maybe even take the hdd vid card and battery covers off and put it up [05:31] true, the lcd could be foobar [05:32] pray for the best [05:32] how to install a deb file [05:32] ? [05:32] v-himanshu: man dpkg [05:32] v-himanshu: sudo dpkg -i debfile [05:32] hi all [05:32] hi [05:32] if you can save the lappy its self you can hook it to a normal lcd or any monitor but hey maybe the lcd will be ok [05:33] I will do that. The screws are the easy part, it's the brittle plastic pieces im worried about breaking [05:33] but take the battery out [05:33] just leave the cards in [05:33] I havn't turned it on yet [05:33] open the panels for ventelation [05:33] okay [05:33] maybe aim a house fan at it [05:34] or blow on it [05:34] get the compressed air canasters [05:34] but leave it for at least three days [05:34] soulwarp: most labby lcd failer is inverters [05:34] soulwarp: cheap and easy to fix [05:35] I will call dell to see it the warranty covers watter damage hah. I guess this channel isn't appropriate for this problem. [05:35] soulwarp: good way to test it take a flashlight to it if you can see a very dim display it need a inverter [05:36] gogeta1, okay [05:36] soulwarp: well waterdamaged it did ya [05:36] sorry to hear tho [05:36] !ot [05:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:44] shashwat, you'll need to repeat it instead of asking if anyone was around long enough to know what you're talkign about [05:44] i added export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin to .bashrc and i cant fix it [05:44] EvilPhoenix, I have it installed right now.

[05:46] creating music [05:46] i just downloaded hyrdogen.. it reminds me of fruityloops [05:46] Jordan_U, the CF isn't large enough for my install. That's why I want to create a custom LiveDVD. I just want /home mapped to the CF.

[05:47] airtonix: thanks [05:47] hey guys i decided to go ahead and install and try ubuntu tomorrow, but i would like to install it on the same computer where i used windows on, what is the disadvantage of having two OS in computers? i really dont know how this works [05:47] 这是什么东西 [05:47] aeMaeth: not familiar with lmms [05:47] I‘m from China [05:47] when i add export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin to .bashrc do i change it or just use that exactly? [05:48] BrianEvo: i know no disadvantage [05:48] kirkm, i'm not very good at using fruity loops, so it's not like i can go into detail about sound words, but to me it was the same program [05:48] !cn | chengdan [05:48] chengdan: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:48] BrianEvo, use a LiveCD to try Ubuntu. You won't need to install until you're comfortable with it. [05:48] BrianEvo: no disadvantage.. that i can think of.. except for the fact that i did the same thing then never logged into windows [05:48] Mytos, you're better off putting that in ~/.profile instead. [05:48] flyguy: why in the world would u want a 100+ filename? [05:48] lol at kirkm [05:48] how would i do that? [05:48] Ello [05:48] Mytos, same way you did with ~/.bashrc [05:48] well I would just like to just play around with it [05:48] i deleted my home folder and i don't kno how i can recover it [05:48] aeMaeth: not familiar with sound words.. is that lmms [05:48] user88: How did you delete it?

[05:49] BrianEvo: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [05:49] kirkm: #rosegarden #ubuntustudio [05:49] I see I read about that [05:49] user88, what did you do to delete it? [05:49] but my other concern [05:49] user88: just state your problem [05:50] lets just say I install ubuntu, and i plan to have dual os, swithcing back and forth and etc [05:50] CarlFK: thanks [05:50] kirkm, you said fruity loops right? i need to try hydrogen. I'm just saying Lmms is another clone [05:50] I have no idea all i kno is that it wont open and theres nothing in it now [05:50] how is the harddrive going to be shared? [05:50] user88: what won't open? [05:50] I'm having a lot of trouble mounting my NAS via NFS on Ubuntu 10.10. Same config worked fine on Centos. [05:50] how do you include an end of line in search & replace patterns in gedit or geany? [05:50] I've been doing some searches and there are vague references to an issue... but none of the 'fixes' seem to help. [05:50] Anyone on that can help me diagnose the issue? [05:50] aeMaeth: i need some headphones so i can really hear Hydrogen well... my computer speaker.. does not do it justice [05:50] Gate, he says he deleted his home folder and he doesn't know how he did it [05:51] well theres no folders in it and i get a error messege when i go to open it im a noob [05:51] chengdan: 请用英语交谈，没有人懂中文在这里.... （使用 gtranslate） [05:51] i am trying to get TerminatorX to work.. but it has not yet [05:51] BrianEvo: what you want is a livecd with persistent changes. There are howtos for doing it with Knoppix, gentoo and others.. I'm not familiar with ubuntu yet to tell you how to do it but sometimes on the livecds you have a "boot with persistent" option [05:51] lets say i have 300gb hard drive, and with windows i have used 150gb, and then i install Ubuntu, how much space or harddrive would it show in Ubuntu? [05:51] so i just tried to install a program with software center and my program froze at 50%, i have no idea how to stop the process so that i can download other programs. there is no option to kill it on the screen, tried xkill and tried restarting gmp [05:51] it just says file not found when i chick on home folder [05:51] oh [05:51] I know [05:51] mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported [05:51] BrianEvo: the space you want to give it, blablabla [05:52] ok so when i install ubuntu [05:52] it would tell me how much space i have left [05:52] user88: My guess is that you have a separate /home partition that simply isn't mounting for some reason. Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab? [05:52] then i have the right to choose how much space i would like to make for ubuntu? [05:52] is that right [05:52] anyone know how to kill the install process for that program [05:52] I how do i do that [05:52] BrianEvo: the ubuntu installer can resize your widnows c: to make room for ubuntu. defrag in widnows first, and try to make sure the green "unmovable files" are all on the lower end of the chart [05:53] what program are you trying to kill an install process for? [05:53] the only OS on my comp is Ubuntu 10.10 [05:54] BrianEvo: what you say is basically right. [05:54] does ne1 know how to add a custom Animation along with a sound (like the sound starts along with ANi.1 and ends with animation 20 (playing its full legnth)) in Open Office Impress? [05:54] oh ok thanks :) [05:55] BrianEvo: don't install windows... break free of Bill Gates grasp... you can do it.. take a deep breath... you have the power [05:55] Jordan_U do you have any other ideas [05:55] user88, open your terminal. type cat /etc/fstab [05:55] user88, then use pastebin [05:55] shashwat: make a video and embed it [05:55] !pastebin | user88 [05:55] user88: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[05:58] ok now it came up [05:58] well [05:58] tecnico : Video of? [05:58] the first time i typed it it didnt work now what [05:58] animation + sound.. just a suggestion. [05:58] it say the symbol "grub_xputs" not found [05:58] user88, now you copy the results and use pastebin to show us what it looks like [05:59] thecdggseries: Do you have more than one hard drive?

[06:01] prtylghts: explain "stop" [06:01] grrr, the PA Sound Preferences are so annoying to set up surround sound levels with [06:01] user88, no you simply copy the url and paste it here [06:01] as in kill the process [06:01] its still in my software center and i cant dl anything else because it is stuck [06:02] hey does anyone here use network manager to manage vpnc under ubuntu 10.10? [06:02] Is anybody running a ThinkPad by chance? [06:02] prtylghts: then its using dpkg, but if you kill it mid install it might not work anymore correctly [06:02] !anyone [06:02] 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? [06:02] It sounds like your software manager program hung up. Try restarting it [06:02] i don't actually need the program. I was dling it because it was a suggest package to amarok, which I am also having problems with >.< [06:02] I'm not liking that software manage very much === APeRSON is now known as APeRSON[0] [06:03] tecnico : The point is that i wanted to make a Who wants to be a millionaire powerpoint and when options come the sound "ask_full_legnth" will start till the clock ends and the slide becomes empty to show a message!! [06:03] thecdggseries: Try booting from the USB drive you used to install. Does it boot into the live environment like you'd expect or does it now boot into the installed Ubuntu? [06:03] i also don't have dpkg in my system monitor [06:03] I am using vpnc and network-manager but it refuses to store my group password and I get 'failed because there were no VPN secrets' [06:03] Jordan_U: live [06:03] how do you run the initial postfix config? [06:04] shashwat: may have better luck at some openoffice irc channel [06:04] k technico thnx [06:04] thecdggseries: Can you run boot info script, as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ? [06:05] ok [06:05] anyone have any idea how i can kill that process? [06:05] prty, if you're having trouble killing a process, you might need root priviledges to kill it [06:06] help! i'm getting a glib pwuid error and cannot boot [06:06] i can do that, i just need to be pointed in the direction of exactly *how* to do that === kid__mummum is now known as kid__zZz [06:07] prty: do you know what programm you're trying to kill? [06:07] can anyone help? i am getting a GLib-warning pwuid failed due to unknown user id error and cannot boot, i have to ctrl+alt+del to restart, I can't even access a term [06:08] it's the install process for stop libqt4-sql-mysql [06:08] software center just says "installing packages / applying changes" [06:08] how do you run the initial postfix setup? I messed up my config bad. [06:08] it's said that for several hours now [06:08] do you know what package manager you;re using to install it? [06:08] can anyone help? i am getting a GLib-warning pwuid failed due to unknown user id error and cannot boot, i have to ctrl+alt+del to restart, I can't even access a term can someone point me in the right direction to get things working again? [06:09] Hi, I have paired with my mobile phone over bluetooth [06:09] i just installed the program through the software center [06:09] but when I run hcitool scan, it doesn't show up [06:09] i have tried killing that, and restarting gmp [06:09] neither stopped the install process [06:09] if I do sdptool search DUN [06:09] nothing comes up [06:10] can anyone help? i am getting a GLib-warning pwuid failed due to unknown user id error and cannot boot, i have to ctrl+alt+del to restart, I can't even access a term can someone point me in the right direction to get things working again? [06:11] taofd: boot off of a livecd? [06:11] irssi_, i am on a live cd [06:11] irssi_, i want to *fix* the problem, not reformat [06:11] Jordan_U: I know what was the problem I did not installed the grub right [06:11] taofd: seems to have something to do with the boot splash. Try disabling it and also disable the quiet boot when you get to the grub menu to see more info hopefully. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1534909 [06:11] taofd: you should be able to access your data [06:11] taofd: the problem is that your CD has errors. try burning a new one at a lower speed, like 12x [06:11] so thaks [06:12] tecnico, tried disabling boot splash, doesn't work [06:12] prty: open up your terminal and type ps -A, look for a process that you think is related to the software center. At the far left you should see a number for that process. type "sudo kill (thatnummber)" [06:12] n0lan1, i tested integrity, it passed fine [06:12] irssi_, my home drive is encrypted [06:13] taofd: impressive [06:13] If I do an alt+shift+F2 while I have the gui open on F1 ... the gui crashes in F1 when I go back. How can i recover it? === SomKen is now known as Somen [06:13] irssi_, T_T [06:13] irssi awesome? [06:14] shebang_wafflesa: what should i even be looking for? [06:14] ki, try doing ctrl+alt+F9 [06:14] anyone had issues with 10.10 and volume control? my volume is strange it does not work on the built in subwoofer very good, it either on or it's off [06:14] anyone know how I can unhide my grub2 menu with maverick? [06:14] ha-ha! :P [06:15] a lot of other people on the forums seem to think that the GLib error is a generic error and can't figure out what's causing it... i was hoping someone would know what the heck is going on [06:15] prty: i'm not sure. probably apt or software center. anything that's a package manager. i don't run ubuntu, so i'm only guessing :\ === irssi_ is now known as urssi [06:15] sgerbino: I imagine somewhere in /etc/default/grub [06:15] tecnico: i been playing with that file, i removed the 'quiet' part but nothing [06:16] if i kill software center, it still runs when i re-open the software center. it doesn't change anything... [06:16] taofd: well, generically, "did anything happen before this error?" [06:16] you have to run update-grub / update-grub2 after that maybe?? [06:16] sgerbino: hold shift on boot, [06:16] prty: It still tries to install that package? [06:16] bastid_raXor: i rather just display it [06:17] urssi, not to my knowledge === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 [06:17] yeah. its still stuck at 50% [06:17] urssi, is there a way to check my apt install history using CL? [06:17] prtylghts: did you try xkill like somebody suggested hours ago? [06:17] yes i did. and again, all that did was kill the software center [06:18] i dont have an actual window where i see it installing except software center [06:18] hi everyone [06:19] prtylghts: you can try a long shot like: ps auxf |grep [06:19] taofd: apt-cache pkgnames [06:19] prty: You're just trying to install amarok right? And you're problem is that it's hanging up on a certain package? [06:19] Well I am having other problems with amarok, which I was trying to fix by installing packages that it may need... and this was one of those packages. [06:20] prtylghts: if that returns something, get the number to the left (first column) and do "kill -HUP " or if you feel adventurous try "kill -9 number" ..@ your own risk [06:20] taofd: or aptitude search '~i' [06:20] i want to share files between my two ubuntu 10.04 machines. i have tried rsync. but i get a error: remote host refused connection. how do i allow connections? [06:20] did u enable ssh rigved [06:20] Maybe prty should try apt-get -f amarok. [06:21] join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:21] rigved: both ubuntu machines need openssh-server installed [06:21] tecnico: how do i do that [06:21] apt-get install openssh-server [06:21] on both systems like bastid_raZor said [06:21] tecnico i did that and i have two different things, one is a process and one has a really long file-name... kill the process? [06:21] bastid_raZor: ok. i'll install ssh server [06:22] rigved: on both machines [06:22] Ubuntu doesn't have ssh by default? [06:22] prtylghts: without knowing what the process / name / u r seeing on your screen.. it's hard to tell u [06:22] bastid_raZor, bastid_raZor, Richie086: thank you for your help. i'll install it right now [06:22] it has the client by default [06:23] Richie086, thx ill try that, although i don't have aptitude installed on 10.10 [06:23] tecnico: thank you for your help. i'll install it right now [06:23] shebang_wafflesa: it has ssh but not the server which receives ssh connections [06:23] tecnico: libqt4-sql-mysql .. it's a different package i guess [06:23] wait no, that's the right one : [06:23] Ohh... so THAT's why i can't connect to my bro's Ubuntu machine. I always assumed that it had it by default [06:24] shebang_wafflesa: nmap -p 22 brothers_machine [06:24] shebang_wafflesa, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:24] prtylghts: is that the package that you were trying to install? [06:24] taofd, sudo less /var/log/apt/term.log ? [06:25] Yeah i know. I guess that's actually a good idea for a desktop oriented distro. [06:25] tecnico: yes [06:25] what does the last column on that line say prtylghts [06:25] Infra_3600, sorry what would that be for? [06:26] taofd, urssi, is there a way to check my apt install history using CL? 0_o [06:26] taofd: that is a safe command, it will display the logfile allowing you to read it [06:27] Infra_3600, ah thx, i wasn't sure what it was in response to :) [06:27] bastid_raZor, yeah, i got it, thanks :D [06:27] taofd, and gzipped rotate in /var/log/apt too [06:27] "21728 0.0 0.0 3324 784 pts/5 S+ 00:26 0:00 \_ grep libqt4-sql-mysql [06:28] minus hte first " [06:28] prtylghts: that process corresponds to the grep itself of the command you are just now typying.. so that's not it [06:29] prtylghts: if that is all that is displayed then that is only showing you looking for that file.. it does not mean it is running [06:29] try the other PIaD prty [06:29] haha. ok, well there is also a really long line above that [06:29] PID** [06:29] running under root too .... PID? [06:30] exit [06:30] you saw two process, right? kill the process that doesn't have grep in it [06:30] process ID, that's the number of the process if im not mistaken [06:30] prtylghts: you know that you could've rebooted a million times by now since you first asked about this... :) [06:30] that'll kill it for sure [06:30] sorry i had some diffaculty with the screen and had to quit the chat [06:30] shebang_wafflesa, you can make grep return results witout the command that called grep by enclosing parts of the grep query with sqaure brackets : ls | grep [some]thing [06:31] so some of the last things i installed were: 7zip, telepathy-gnome, removed totem, installed languages ... could any of them relate possibly to a GLIB error? [06:31] yeah, tecnico has a point, but i think this could be a good learning experience [06:31] ok, i killed it and then restarted software center. still listed there. [06:31] :( [06:31] air, i'm trying to keep this simple. seriously though, thanks for the info [06:31] is there a way during install of Ubuntu 10.10 to mount the usb drive as cdrom? [06:31] will rebooting actually quit the install? i restarted gmp [06:32] prtylghts, have you tried killing by PID ? sudo kill [06:32] hey everyone [06:32] yeah, just did that [06:32] air, we already tried it [06:32] first time ever in an IRC chatroom :| lol im guessing everyone here uses ubuntu? [06:32] prtylghts, shebang_wafflesa and have you first listed it by parent process ? [06:32] i'm really stumped and if i cant get this i cant install any new software :/ [06:33] engin33r: no [06:33] prtylghts, shebang_wafflesa : ps -fe | grep [thi]ngtosearchfor [06:33] yes engin33r im on ubuntu [06:33] prty: restart your comp, if you're still having an issue with it, it' has to do with the package manager [06:33] in the term type [06:33] but not everyone on IRC does [06:33] prtylghts: Are you sure the pid is right? [06:33] airtonix: the problem is that he's having some problems finding the right PID to kill [06:33] tecnico, which you'll solve by using ps -fe . [06:34] use ps aux|grep ... [06:34] tecnico, (it shows the parent process) [06:34] if i kill the process it is still running? uhm [06:34] airtonix: I suggested something similar.. but he's kind of lost even getting a hint on what to look for [06:34] use kill -9 [06:34] prtylghts, probably because its owned by another process ? [06:34] I deleted my home folder i need to recover it and i dont kno how and i don't kno how i did it it just says no file found when i try to open it [06:34] -9 didn't work [06:35] zhcfreesea: -ef is the linux standard, -aux is the bsd standard and has been rolled in but may not work on every distro you come aross, -ef will [06:35] kill -9 PID [06:35] its being run under the software center, its an install [06:35] then it's probably the wrong process [06:35] user88: use your backups [06:35] and i cant kill the install .. its stuck on 50% [06:35] how [06:35] user88: how do you backup your data? [06:35] ok, so then restart is still my best option. bbiab [06:35] prtylghts, you trying to kill the thing running isntall of "libqt4-sql-mysql" ? [06:35] prtylghts: check cd for defects [06:36] no how can i restore my home folder [06:36] user88, with great difficulty if you did not make backups [06:36] fresh install 3 days ago [06:36] user88: if you use rsync to backup (for example) you can just reverse the command [06:36] Uh oh. [06:37] user88, next time round i suggest you install and setup "BackInTime" [06:37] i dont want to had to reformat agin [06:37] I just did an rm -rf fort.13 * instead of rm -rf fort.13*. What's the most reliable way to get that data back? [06:37] Oh wait, I have a backup in my ~/.vim folder. [06:37] Thanks vim. === michaelrose-away is now known as michaelrose [06:37] any other ideas how to restore my deleted home folder [06:37] user88, even if you do recover your data, i suggest you install that program...

Its also outlined in: man ps ;) [06:40] I have edited rc.local file and edited file can be seen in url http://dpaste.de/F21n/ [06:40] ActionParsip: Thanks anyway [06:40] Also, hi ActionParsnip.

What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? [06:42] user88, After you resolve your data problem. I highly recommend that you start using BackInTime : http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-backups-with-back-in-time-on-an-ubuntu-9.04-desktop-p1, http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-backups-with-back-in-time-on-an-ubuntu-9.04-desktop-p2 [06:43] user88: then just remake the folder, when you log in you will copy the files you need from skel by default [06:43] user88, http://backintime.le-web.org/ [06:44] airtonix: simple backups are fine for home users, a cheap usb storage or dvd is fine [06:44] im a little confused on the steps from the page [06:45] user88: setting up backintime now won't restore any data [06:45] should I edit the rc.local as seen in url http://dpaste.de/OJdG/ [06:45] Sonic132: What do you want? [06:45] ActionParsnip, rsync is hardly simple for novices === n is now known as Guest36006 [06:45] rsnapshot is a simpler frontend to rsync [06:45] so put in my install disk and try to recover ?? [06:46] just use rsync [06:46] ... [06:46] zhcfreesea: What do you mean? I want the controller to work either wired, wireless, or both. But it does nothing. [06:46] airtonix: grsync makes it friendlier and gives the cli command which can then be cron'd [06:46] which you have to cron [06:46] zhcfreesea: Well nothing except flash (indicating it's charging). [06:46] ActionParsnip, backintime does all of that for you [06:46] sunit: add one to the last line too, make sure there is a space between the command and the ampersand too [06:47] sunit, if it fails to boot properly, boot into single user mode [06:47] user88: just boot to root recovery mode and run: mkdir /home/username ,replace username with theusername you use in ubuntu [06:47] It doesn't work AFTER you update your system? [06:48] airtonix: sure but rsyncis part of a stock install and the daemon is already running. Space may not be a luxury [06:48] zhcfreesea: Did you read the article? === Guest36006 is now known as hagen [06:48] ActionParsnip, backintime is just a frontend to rsync [06:48] Sonic132: Yes [06:49] zhcfreesea: Any ideas? Any questions for me? [06:49] Sonic132: Maybe you can just boot from old kernel, all the problems would be solved [06:49] ok ill try it when back in time finishs downloading [06:50] so that should fix it [06:50] Hi. Any idea about package with which I can play WMV files. Right now video comes but the Audio[Window Media Audio 9] codec is missing. [06:50] zhcfreesea: Old kernel? You mean on startup? [06:50] user88: how big is it? [06:50] Sonic132: Yes, choose older kernel when startup [06:50] user88: no installing the app now will not restore any data [06:51] zhcfreesea: Worth a try I guess. I'll be back. [06:51] no but it should help if it happens agin right [06:51] ActionParnsnip , please see the http://dpaste.de/Z1Xt/ [06:51] I'm trying to install update-manager-core, but getting this: "update-manager-core : Depends: python (< 2.6) but 2.6.6-3+squeeze1 is to be installed" Anyone know how to resolve? [06:51] why i can't just kill manualy daemons, but service daemo stop does [06:51] Does anyone know if you can switch between kernels while your system is booted? [06:51] user88, im pretty sure i said many times that AFTER you resolve your data problems start using backintime [06:51] Sonic132: No, everything goes OK, and the problems would be gone [06:51] hi. is there any codec pack for watching movies and listening to music?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:53] shebang_wafflesa: I believe there's a project or talk of something similar [06:54] sheesh, stupid mistake not just doing that first [06:54] why killing daemon just causes it to change pid? [06:54] ActionParsnip: OK. I removed that repo, but still getting an error. Is this the mess you are referring to? [06:54] x_or: did you run: sudo apt-get update [06:54] juk: 'cause it gets restarted and thus assigned another pid? [06:55] juk: it is designed to auto-restart [06:55] You can install a custom kernel on Linux when it's live without rebooting, right? [06:55] I just ran an apt-get command: $ sudo apt-get remove default-jre openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre [06:55] ActionParsnip: Yes, I did. [06:55] shebang_wafflesa: to change the kernel, you have to reboot. [06:55] The apt-get program prompted me to install the default-jre. [06:55] Any idea why the program asked me to install something when I used "apt-get remove"? === prtylghts_ is now known as prtylghts [06:56] x_or: this is why you don't mix. You have a mess now. I gotta switch busses. Maybe someone else can advise [06:56] !aptitude|Thangalin [06:56] Thangalin: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [06:56] Thangalin: I think aptitude is better [06:56] !help | urssi [06:56] urssi, please see my private message [06:56] hello [06:56] I agree, zhcfreesea. [06:57] tecnico: any idea how to kill daemon [06:57] Is ipv6 builtin into the kernel for Ubuntu 0,04 [06:57] 9.04 [06:57] bombshell: yes. [06:57] Crap, I just let my VM boot / when I was running it as the host. [06:57] I'm screwed. fsck here I come [06:57] shebang_wafflesa: look at kexec. At one time it used to be the way to switch kernels on the fly.. though I don't know what the limitations may be [06:57] greppy: ahhh, that's why I couldn't find the module [06:57] urssi: how do i kill it? [06:57] juk: service stop [06:57] thanks, i'll look into that [06:58] juk: sorry, I wasn't following along, what are you trying to kill? [06:58] Nice. Aptitude worked as expected, thanks. :-) [06:58] !php [06:58] PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package.

This was in 10.04, I think, but missing in KDE 10.10. [06:59] !php-memcached === Stillmeister is now known as SKAN [06:59] juk , you can look at the script for that service in /etc/init.d/ [06:59] urssi: no i got kill wont kill, im reading service script [06:59] (Without using xwininfo.) [07:00] juk, there the stop() function/case should be defined [07:00] shebang_wafflesa: You can apply kernel patches without rebooting, with ksplice, but for fully replacing the kernel you'd have to end all processes then start them up again (basically, reboot). [07:00] tecnico: problem is it isn't there, it's binary [07:00] urssi: kill won't kill? you mean kill's default signal won't kill? try kill -9 or kill -KILL [07:00] juk but in generall it is something along the lines as kill -HUP or killall [07:01] ak [07:01] shebang_wafflesa, u have not replied me [07:01] kill the binary then. killall binary, or kill -9 [07:01] Oh, i'm soryy. What do you need? [07:02] I've got a problem also. The newest version of Python on my machine is 2.6, and I still have Python2.5. There're some package depends on python<2.6, and it can't be installed by apt, what can I do? [07:02] you told me to -- if it fails to boot properly, boot into single user mode [07:02] zhcfreesea: install from source? [07:03] what shall I do ? [07:03] sunit, add & to the end of each line of the processes you want to run (like someone here already mentioned) and reboot. If your machine fails to boot, boot into recovery mode and edit the file again [07:03] hi, where is a list of all the sections available for use in a control file [07:03] Only boot into single user if it fails to boot [07:03] Hey folks. I recently repartitioned the drive with my swap partition on it, and with help from this channel updated my fstab so my computer would know where my new swap partition is. I can now enter hibernate just fine again - but the computer doesn't start up from the hibernated state. Is there some other file I need to update? [07:03] ok [07:03] urssi: tecnico: same, it's just hops among pids === Tweedle is now known as Tweedle[afk] [07:04] juk: what is this program? [07:04] juk, then something else is restarting it [07:04] but , I have reboot the machine, and its running [07:04] urssi: It is a solution, but I'm not sure whether they can works together well.

For example. I want to do "ls *.iso | grep -n ." to display "1: someiso.iso \n 2: anotheriso.iso" BUT if there weren't any then I get "ls: cannot access *.iso no such file or directory" which, in the middle of a bash script, seems so ugly [07:08] sandGorgon: there is a kernel ppa but its very experimental [07:08] Lanlost: you need to give it a folder to ls [07:08] Lanlost: add 2>/dev/null at the end of the command to send stderr to the limbo [07:08] tecnico: killall5 caused restartin machine :p [07:08] ActionParsnip, allright thanks. I am desperate to try something to get suspend/resume on my E6410 laptop [07:08] gogeta1: Yeah I am trying a usb install of 10.10 via unetbootin on win7, but I keep getting error reading data from cdrom. I tried adding cdrom-detect/try-usb=true in the boot menu option but still same [07:09] any idea how to use something like if [ -f `ls *.iso | grep -m1 .` ] then; echo `ls *.iso | grep -n .`; fi .. that's basically what I want to do but it doens't work. [07:09] oh my god [07:09] sosaited: eeeror normaly mean bad iso or the unetbooten conversion whent wrong [07:09] tecnico, what an obvious answer [07:09] juk, what did you kill? I was trying to prevent that when I told you not to kill "init" or your bash [07:09] for that part at least [07:09] sosaited, you might have a bad cd [07:09] sosaited: md5 your iso make shure it didnt get cruppted [07:10] Lanlost: i'd ask in #bash [07:10] gogeta1, what? It lses in the current directory. I want it to work from any directory. Obviously you DO get results if you are in a directory with isos but if you aren't then you get that text instead [07:10] wow, I didn't know there WAS a #bash. Freenode has everything [07:10] Lanlost: its the biggest and one of the oldest in town [07:11] Lanlost: unless your script is ran in the same dir it need to be told where to go === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [07:11] Lanlost: acully it aalways does [07:11] fyi tecnico, it would be ls *.iso 2>/dev/null; grep -n . [07:11] gogeta1: I did check the md5 before [07:11] tecnico: thank you, it was systemui in n900, nokia [07:11] Lanlost: scripts just fir the term its normaly alsways in your home dir [07:11] gogeta1, what? [07:12] How do you configure Logitech's USB Marble Mouse for scrolling in 10.10? The instructions for 10.04 (and earlier) no longer work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB [07:12] Lan: what are you trying to do? [07:12] Lanlost: screipts are like .bat [07:12] what you said isn't true [07:12] gogeta1: I also tried installing from hard drive, then I get the error " can't mount cdrom : [07:12] gogeta1: if ls is used the interpreter will use pwd as the folder [07:12] I did ~/myscript.sh in the directory with the .iso and it works fine.. I do the exact same command from another directory and it gives the error [07:13] tecnico: but i had exactly same problem in ubunut, i was trying to kill ssh no way, untill i did service stop [07:13] I'm telling you that it's not going to ls the home directory regardless.. You can call it and it will ls wherever you called it from [07:13] sosaited: sounds like it didnt get sent to the usv device correctly [07:13] Lanlost: its using pwd as the folder for ls in the script [07:13] Lan, try spelling put the full path [07:13] sosaited: format the usb stick and try again [07:13] I recently repartitioned the drive with my swap partition on it, and with help from this channel updated my fstab so my computer would know where my new swap partition is. I can now enter hibernate just fine again - but the computer doesn't start up from the hibernated state, rather does a normal startup. Is there some other file I need to update? [07:13] I guess I really screwed things up with my python installation by using a debian repo. Can anyone point out a way I could start to resolve this? [07:13] why does everyone keep telling me to GIVE the path? [07:13] I specifically DO NOT want to do that [07:13] juk, so u r good now? [07:13] X_or: sounds usuaal, yes [07:13] x_or: are you using debian repo ?? [07:14] sosaited: make shure your using the latest uetbootin [07:14] gogeta1: I already did twice. [07:14] tecnico: yep, o_0, thank you [07:14] Lanlost: I never did, I simply said it will use pwd for the ls [07:14] sosaited: then your iso is bad [07:14] This script is for my gf. She has trouble converting .isos to .bin/.cue (why? the reason is a long story, just trust me) [07:14] blackshirt: s/he did yes [07:14] blackshirt: I had used a repo which I did not realize was a debian repo. It was for a piece of software called erlyvideo. [07:14] so I have the script tell her exactly what command she would have to run [07:15] Hello, how do you add keyboard layout change shortcut? [07:15] gogeta1: But why will it give different cdrom related errors depending on if installing from usb or hard drive.? [07:15] echo "Simply type: ./convert.sh `ls *.iso | grep -m1 .` /path/to/output"; [07:15] sosaited: couse the iso is junk [07:15] I need to contact pootle developers. I have been serching for their contacts in their website, but can't find any. Can someone help [07:15] that's what I have and told her just to run ~/convert.sh, which works [07:15] if she runs it in a directory with an iso then it displays the line correctly [07:15] !who [07:15] 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 :) [07:15] blackrock: I believe in the keyboard settings app (one of the 2) you can have it change with a key combo [07:16] sosaited: usb installs get mounted as loopback devices so the system sees it as cdrom [07:16] it will output: Simply type: ./convert.sh someiso.iso /path/to/output [07:17] gogeta1: Can the Iso be bad even if md5 are identical? [07:17] if I do it from a directory that DOESN'T have isos in it it does this: [07:17] Lanlost: then you will need to either hard code the directory or have the script accept a folder path as an arg. I'd ask in #bash ,those guys have skills [07:17] Can I force reinstall of python? [07:17] ls: cannot access *.iso: No such file or directory [07:17] Simply type: ./convert.sh /path/to/output [07:17] sosaited: not unerd of [07:17] x_or: it might get messy but sure [07:17] unherd [07:17] Which I'd rather have it just display "No ISOs in the current directory." [07:17] ActionParsnip, that is ridiculous and NOT true [07:17] sosaited: could just by 1 byte off messing up everything [07:18] Lanlost: what isn't true? [07:18] any of it except the #bash part [07:18] gogeta1: But it starts the install, asks for language and keyboard selections etc. .. I will try downloading a dekstop version instead then.. [07:18] ActionParsnip: what flags should I use for apt-get, -f? [07:18] why would I have to a) hard code a directory OR accept a folder path as an arg [07:18] Lanlost: in an irc channel, you can't use words like "that" without context [07:18] sosaited: well any new iso just from a diffrent mirror [07:18] Does anyone know if there is a way to fix the single pixel that is used for resizing windows? It's almost impossible to grab the edge of a window [07:18] Hi, I've problem with my mouse going to the most left and most right in wired way when I move it and I can't control it. then after a while it calm down. [07:18] gogeta1: Ok, Thanks. [07:18] slide, use the alt + middle click to resize windows [07:18] x_or: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [07:18] If I hard code the folder path then that get's rid of the entire point of this working from any directory. And having to accept the folder path as an argument [07:19] airtonix, laptop doesnt have middle click [07:19] sosaited: if it still fails then its another issue but 90% of the time its a junk iso [07:19] slide, yes it does... click both buttons [07:19] Damascene: is your phone near the wire? [07:19] .. doesn't make sense. Why? ls automatically lists the current directory. I might as well just use ls `pwd` .. which is exactly what it does automatically anyway [07:19] airtonix, yea thats easy, alt + left + right mouse button while moving single finger along trackpad......... [07:19] ActionParsnip, no [07:19] slide, or you can change this shortcut in keybaord preferences [07:20] Lanlost: for your own benefit, it's better to ask your bash related question in #bash [07:20] airtonix, is there no REAL fix, like having it be more then 1 pixel ;) [07:20] slide, i have mine set as alt + right click drag [07:20] ActionParsnip: when I run that, I get "python : Depends: python-minimal (= 2.5.2-0ubuntu1) but 2.6.6-3+squeeze1 is to be installed" I cannot install python-minimal in this way. Ug. [07:20] you'll just get people rightfully mad otherwise [07:20] Damascene: or past a wireless device. Also try another port [07:20] ActionParsnip: lol he stil fighting abought addin 1 line to his script [07:20] ActionParsnip, it's PS2 [07:21] slide, get another theme? but i find that alt + right click drag is much better as it provides an infinitely large target to hit [07:21] slide, aka fitts law [07:21] x_or: you may have to download packages from packages.ubuntu.com and install them. [07:21] gogeta1: Is there any command of cdrom-detect/try-usb=true sort for hard drive install? Other people who have had the same cdrom problem seemed to have worked it out with this command [07:21] slide, you can move a window the same way with alt + left click drag [07:21] Damascene: I see. [07:21] hey guys a quick question. Is DNS referring to domain name system or domain name server? or are those two things the same [07:21] sosaited: i cant say if i got errors it was always the iso [07:21] ActionParsnip: Meaning, manually download, using wget, for example? [07:22] slide, also, with alt click drag.. you don't have to aim for the corner or title bar [07:22] sosaited: usb or even a burned copy [07:22] ish_: server [07:22] ActionParsnip, I've been having this issue for sometime and just today a friend came to another channel with the same issue. and he has his wireless turned of. I've wireless on. [07:22] gogeta1: Generally speaking is alternate better of desktop for unetbootin? [07:22] x_or: sure or web browser etc [07:22] ActionParsnip, incoming [07:22] tecnico is system a different thing? [07:22] gogeta1: *or [07:22] sosaited: alt is just a text based installer for low ram machines === croppa_ is now known as croppa [07:22] sosaited: same ubuntu in the end [07:23] Damascene: try adding the boot option: irpoll ,it may help [07:23] ish_, its actually : Domain Name Service... [07:23] ish_: I wouldn't think so.. there's no other project named domain name system.. so there should be no confussion but the right description for the acronym is server [07:23] ActionParsnip, ok thanks. I could not find similar issue in google top results [07:23] sosaited: alt is used for low ram and people having problems withh live not working like blackscreens etc but your errors point to cruupted iso [07:23] All I needed help with was forming the if statement. Theres no problem with my listing code [07:24] when i wiki'd DNS i got domain name system, so i got a bit confused [07:24] how stuff works gave me domain name server [07:24] something like "f [ -f `ls *.iso | grep -m1 .` ] then; echo `ls *.iso | grep -n .`; fi " but I'll just ask in #bash [07:24] Damascene: try a different search engine then [07:24] and airtronix just gavee me domain name service [07:24] airtonix, how do you get the keyboard shortcut to accept alt + right click? it just does back to alt+f8 for me [07:25] ish_, Service is the process exposing ports on a machines network interface. Server is a physical thing you can touch. system is a collection of protocols and policies [07:25] ish_: dns converts names to ip addresses [07:25] ish_: and vice versa [07:25] 10.10x64 trying to use Firewire iSight camera. [07:25] http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DNS.html [07:25] slide, you went to the keyboard shortcut editor in the menus ? [07:25] that seems to state that all 3 acronyms are the same [07:25] ish_: interesting. Well, I'm pretty sure it all points to the same. The server doing the service of converting names to IPs and the reverse, IPs to names [07:25] airtonix, yes [07:25] followed a few guides, no success yet. [07:25] ish_, then that pages is created by fools and twitters [07:26] lspci gives 01:05.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 70) [07:26] oh so ur the nonfool? [07:26] gogeta1: Ok. Thanks. I thought it was because of netbootin messing something up cause I saw similar problems on forums.. and I personally had a problem with unetbootin when I was installing 10.04 from karmic. In the end I had to use an alternate version instead of desktop, and use grub to boot iso via loopback manually [07:26] sosaited: the latest version of unetbootin from there websites fixed 10.10 issues [07:26] ish_: this is offtopic here, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic as this is a support channel. Could also ask in ##networking [07:26] ish_, stands to reason that someone who defines three technically different terms as the forensically exact same thing.... [07:27] sosaited: with beta it bad a bug with booting [07:27] 25second that's pretty good boot time. [07:27] sosaited: pendrive linux site has an easy 1 2 3 usb installer for windows [07:27] slide, are you using Compiz ?

I tried two from pendrive, but then don't support 1GB usb [07:28] wonder if i could speed it up a bit [07:28] slide, have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager ? [07:28] gogeta1: user is having issues with it so I'm suggesting an alternative [07:28] sosaited: on 1 gb drive wow thats relly crunching it [07:29] OY1R: if you reduce startup items it will [07:29] slide if not : sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager fusion-icon [07:29] airtonix, nope, should i? [07:29] k [07:29] sosaited: aculy unetbooting does do 1gb i put it on my pro duo 1gb [07:29] sosaited: just makes shure the drives totaly formated to fat3 [07:29] fatt32 [07:29] sosaited: the iso is only 700mb so it easily fits [07:30] anyone on meerkat with FW iSight? [07:30] sosaited: if you have a current ubuntu install you can use usb-creator too [07:30] gogeta1: unetboot in ddidn't have a problem with it, the multiple iso one didn't even allow to select the Iso with that drive [07:30] sosaited, why not use the default liveusb maker in the system menus ? [07:30] sosaited: well it sounds like a iso issue [07:30] hardwarebum: is it a webcam? [07:31] ActionParsnip: I have a current one on my desktop, but I persuaded a friend in another city to try ubuntu [07:31] apple iSight webcam [07:31] airtonix, k got it [07:31] airtonix: Installing from Win7 [07:31] slide, run fusion-icon [07:31] sosaited: wow giving away systems are we [07:31] ActionParsnip, Firewire based [07:31] hardwarebum: ok then run: lsusb ,websearch for the 8 character hexid for the device [07:31] sosaited: is it the same iso you used for your desktop?

[08:00] Desiree: slect wired then you should see auto eth0 [08:00] Jordan_U: I am stuck right [08:01] neww, from term, type sudo dhclient [08:01] neww: What happens if you run "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" Then "sudo dhclient eth0"?

[08:02] Desiree: no wireless eeyther? [08:02] np [08:02] gogetal: the only thing there to do with networking is Network Tools [08:02] Gnea, currently im in gimp, what format should i save it as so that OO.o can import it as pages? [08:03] yeh there is light on the eth card [08:03] (= [08:03] gogetal: no [08:03] and the port light is also on [08:03] Desiree: must be the wrong network [08:03] new, on ur current computer ur on, what's ur os? [08:03] AnxiousNut: you misunderstand: do not use gimp. import each PNG image as a page in openoffice draw. [08:04] AnxiousNut: since you said they're png already, that means they're already saved as PNG, which OOo draw accepts [08:04] ubuntu 10 [08:04] Gnea, but i have edited the layers and dont know how to do so in OO.o! [08:04] neww: lsb_release -a [08:04] pwnt: You might just want to try the alternate install CD. [08:04] neww, ok, do an ifconfig -a eth0 on that one. [08:04] !alternate | pwnt [08:04] pwnt: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [08:04] Jordan_U: I can't check that site now, no browser :( [08:04] AnxiousNut: I can't say this anymore simply - forget gimp, open each png in openoffice draw. what is so difficult about that? [08:05] Desiree: it should look something like this [08:05] http://www.techotopia.com/images/f/fa/Ubuntu_linux_network_settings.jpg [08:05] Gnea: ubuntu has set the 173 driver (which is not the recommended one), should I choose the recommended instead? [08:05] pwnt, sudo apt-get install links [08:05] cyborgsmurf: yes, always go recommended [08:05] how do i resume wget download with wget -c --username --passwd and url ? [08:05] pwnt, text based browser [08:05] hardwarebum, same thing as before, no inet info there but have ethernet hardware ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [08:05] it doesn't work either [08:05] pwnt: I assume that you can somehow manage to download the alternate install CD and burn it. Possibly on another computer / OS. [08:05] Gnea, im not used to it and i have a midterm after an hour and i need to get this done! Learnign how to use OO.o would take time!, but thanks anyways [08:06] Gnea, ubuntu 10.10 codename maveric [08:06] Reading package lists... Error! [08:06] Eventyret: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) [08:06] do i need to install any driver for the network card ? [08:06] pwnt: That sounds like a bad CD. [08:06] Jordan_U: problem is that I formatted my current computer [08:06] neww. so you are on a computer with no IP address but on the internet. [08:06] hmm [08:06] Jordan_U: well, i burned 5 discs, they are all like this [08:06] gogetal: okay so i have a place i can look at my network settings and when i click it the things that come up are: Wired Networks (disconnected), Wirless Network (linksys_SES_44049), VPN connections, Connect to hidden wirless network, and create new wireless network [08:06] Can somebody help me fix my hibernate? My pm-suspend.log indicates that hibernate is working, but when I turn the computer back on it starts up normally and doesn't load up that hibernated state. [08:06] I used slow burn iso image [08:07] AnxiousNut: I understand midterms - it's really not difficult - save your PNG images separately, then open each one in OOo, copy and paste each as a 'new page' until you get a bunch of pages that are of each PNG, then press the PDF button and it will make a PDF. it's EASY. [08:07] pwnt: Maybe a bad iso image or a bad drive then. [08:07] hardwarebum, srry i have no internet access on that one .. this one that i am using is windows [08:07] Desiree: ok on wired slect edit auto eth0 [08:07] neww, that was my last question [08:07] pwnt: Try running the integrity check from the boot menu (press any key within the first 5 seconds of boot). [08:07] AnxiousNut: each page of the PDF will be of each PNG [08:07] go to cmd on win computer and do ipconfig [08:07] Gnea, 30+ layers <.< [08:07] gogetal: it wont let my select anything under wired, its blacked out === michaelrose is now known as michaelrose-away [08:07] AnxiousNut: you can have it done in 30 minutes, maybe less [08:08] AnxiousNut: you have each PNG saved as a separate file, right? [08:08] Gnea, lol nevermind, thanks anyways! [08:08] Desiree: in system pref network settings [08:08] neww, give IP address, and is DHCP Enabled = yes or no. === _GoRDoN__ is now known as _GoRDoN_ [08:08] Desiree: but its ok if its blacked out [08:08] Gnea: had an ubuntu-visualdesktop-crash, so I formatted the whole HDD... lost almost everything. Anyways, feels better to run Ubuntu with +800GB HDD than 100GB [08:08] Desiree: just delete auto eth0 [08:08] AnxiousNut: I'm telling you, you can't get gimp to do what OOo draw can do. but okay, shoot yourself in the foot, no skin off of my nose. [08:09] gogetal: im not getting to it by going to systen pref, its an icon on my top bar, its how i connect to the internet when i turn on my comp, there is still no network settings option in system pref [08:09] Hi, I'm trying to start fbi on a framebuffer console through init but it always instantly dies. what am I doing wrong?

[08:09] heres the code that I came up with that works for what I was trying to do: [08:09] __isotest=`ls *.iso 2>__isotest.tmp | grep -m1 .`; if [ __isotest ]; then echo $__isotest; fi; if [ -s __isotest.tmp ]; then echo "No .isos found in current directory."; rm __isotest.tmp; fi [08:09] Desiree: thats where you edit it [08:09] hardwarebum, have a look at that paste [08:09] Reading package lists... Error! [08:09] Eventyret: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) [08:09] Lanlost, ACtion is gone [08:09] gogetal: and delete it? [08:10] Desiree: lol no open nework settings [08:10] network [08:10] And unlike people said, you DO NOT have to accept the directory as an argument and YES it works from any directory.

[08:53] paddymelon, yep, I did "sudo macchanger --mac="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" eth1" [08:53] foremost comes up but would that work with the home folder [08:53] Hi all, i want make a script, when i run it, it controls if a program is running, if not it starts the program, if it is, it kills the program. how can i? [08:53] MagPulse: "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" [08:53] MagPulse: Did you take the interface down before performing the work? [08:53] ^ [08:54] llutz, paddymelon, I did, both with ifconfig and right clicking the NetworkManager icon and deselecting "enable networking". Another note, when I do "macchanger -s eth1" the mac adress is shown as changed but I can't connect to the wifi. [08:55] MagPulse: I'm not sure but out of curiousity, why would you put your wlan as eth? [08:55] hi can someone help me fix this?

[08:59] Lanlost: that seems a little overly complicated [08:59] MagPulse, i find that macchanger doesn't change the macaddress [09:00] airtonix, Hm, when I check with ifconfig and macchanger -s it shows as changed, maybe I should use something else to try to change the mac address [09:00] oh wells [09:00] MagPulse, you need to confirm it from the layer 1... ifconfig might just be making you happy and still sending real mac [09:00] whatever works mostly [09:00] airtonix, how do I do that? [09:00] How to setup webcam? I connected it via USB, there was no detection. There is a CD with it for installation in Windows system. How can I install iball C12.0 webcam in Ubuntu?

[09:08] because non of my other drives have it and i dont want to look at it [09:08] RegggieBE: I didn't think that 64bit ubuntu needed the pae kernel [09:08] Hi there, Can someone tell me how to configure Ubuntu to doesn't drop down network connection on suspend/hibernate? [09:08] R1cochet: be aware that fsck will use it to help you recover possible filesystem errors. [09:09] very well [09:09] ah, darn. I have installed the server kernels right now, and it still enabled only 2.9Gb of the 4gb I have installed. The bios detects the hardware ...

[09:09] hey can someone help me with iptables [09:09] but will it be able to restore files if its not there when it goes to run? [09:09] llutz_: yes, but if you delete it, and it gets recreated after a X reboots, you'll have to delete it again, and there may be data in it that you want :) [09:10] dsf, hibernate and suspend disables hardware to conserve power, that's it's nature. [09:10] greppy: if theres data in you already had a problem [09:10] thank you both llutz and greppy [09:10] frustro, So there is no way? [09:10] is there a ubuntu release that can run on a 2.6.9 kernel ? [09:11] frustro, The way should turn on suspend/hibernate ? [09:11] frustro, turn off. [09:11] dsf: because it will typically come back faster than doing a reboot. you can also leave some applications open, for instance firefox. [09:12] dsf: so that when you come back from susp/hibernate it's still open. [09:12] dsf, i forget which is which, but one takes the system into low power mode, disables all but cpu (on lowest clock and memory. the other takes RAM and creates file on HDD and powers off system [09:12] how to disable 'update manager' from popping out all the time?

So my computer stay opened all the time, but when it hibernates I lost the ssh connection and all my opened files will have to be reopened again.

I loose the connection into those files. So when I reconnect I have to reopen the files again all over. [09:15] llutz, screen can fix this? [09:15] dsf: it can [09:15] llutz haz it.

[09:17] dsf ^^ [09:17] llutz_: byobu is just an addon to screen, it doesn't replace it. [09:18] llutz_: just using GNU screen will do what he needs. [09:18] greppy: ok, got it wrong then, i never usedbyobu [09:18] greppy, It turns out that the guys don't have screen installed on the development server. [09:18] greppy, what a crap. Can't I run it from my computer? [09:18] dsf: no, it runs on the server [09:19] eeeee .. wherez the bloody inittab ??????

[09:19] !upstart > nettezzaumana [09:19] nettezzaumana, please see my private message [09:19] dsf: what OS is on the dev server? [09:19] greppy, Yes. I can do that. [09:19] dsf, the remote server determins the timeout of the session is lost. just disable power management on the local machine. [09:20] dsf: or at least turn off sleep [09:20] dsf: the display turning off should have no effect [09:20] I know it works with rpms, Don't know if it is a RedHat or CentOs [09:20] * greppy uses screen to be able to recover from other things besides just sleep/hibernate on remote systems :) [09:21] dsf: ah, they should be able to yum install screen, so your dev guys might be able to just install it for you too. [09:21] gogeta1, The problem is not the lock is the hibernate. It's just when I get into work in the morning. [09:21] dsf: go to your screen then hit power mangment set hibernate to never [09:22] dsf: issue fixed [09:22] greppy, they are very bureaucratic about those things. [09:22] if u have access to TSGateway, use that to werk from, ur local session sleep will not effect it. unless GPO for disconect tiemout in place. [09:23] frustro, What is TSGateway? [09:23] dsf, um, remote desktop to win box. [09:23] Terminal server [09:23] its a win box hibernating? [09:24] hi [09:24] dsf: well turning off its hubernate timer will fix it going down [09:24] frustro, gogeta1, How does it work? [09:25] gogeta1, Yes. I think that should be the easiest way to turn around the problem. [09:25] dsf, do you know if ur remote server disco is from power management on local box or inactivity? [09:25] my raid devices are being renumbered during the boot the boot into this: http://dpaste.com/272227/ , but initially I created just md0,md1,md2 ... any ideas why this happens ? [09:25] dsf: i beleve windows also has a wakeup feature you can turn on if someone conects [09:26] dsf: but been years sence i delt with a windows server [09:26] frustro, I don't know but why the remote server disco is important here? The problem is the hibernation of my personal computer. [09:26] I recently repartitioned the drive with my swap partition on it, and with help from this channel updated my fstab so my computer would know where my new swap partition is. I can now enter hibernate just fine again - but the computer doesn't start up from the hibernated state, rather does a normal startup. Is there some other file I need to update as well? [09:27] dsf, well, why waste all this time, go from ourt first resposne, turn off power mangement. [09:27] dsf: well just turn off hibernate display off should be safe to leave on [09:27] but, if ur system stays up. is there a session time for inactivity and will it matter. [09:27] Yerushalmi: you need to update your initramfs [09:27] my servers have 60min inactivity time out. [09:28] dsf: will i knoe windows has a wake on connect burryed in the settings somewhere [09:28] llutz_: How do I do that? [09:28] so you can stay powered on all u want, but no activity, i'm chopping the connection. [09:28] Yerushalmi: edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and add the new swaps UUID [09:28] frustro, Yeah. Think is the best way to. The screen option would be great. But for now maybe I'll pass. But the solution of install my own bin of screen or byobu will be tested. Thank you all. [09:28] Yerushalmi: run" sudo update-initramfs -u" then [09:29] in 10.10 my sound crashes, but it just drops the hardware from my settings [09:30] llutz_: Now, if it's a partition, it's not going to be "UUID=", it's going to be /dev/sda2 or something, right? [09:30] a restart will fix this, but it's odd that in 10.04 it would just be a matter of turning the hardware off and then on again :( [09:30] dsf: i just rember year back we had a server that would hibernate and wake up when someone used it [09:30] dsf: i cant rember where the fing setting was [09:30] RESUME=/dev/sda2? [09:30] Yerushalmi: RESUME=UUID="c1057664......" use the UUID, get it from sudo blkid [09:31] llutz: What if it isn't the entire drive though? I have that UUID partitioned into two. [09:31] Yerushalmi: that makes no sense. an UUID is a unique identifier for a filesystem [09:31] gogeta1, That means that is possible to preserve connection on hibernate, right? [09:32] llutz: Well, I'm quite new to Ubuntu, so I'm probably talking stupid :) [09:32] dsf: well if you make a new one it should wake up [09:33] Yerushalmi: sudo blkid | grep sda2 if /dev/sda2 is your swap-partition. take the given UUID and add it to the resume-file [09:33] llutz_: Ah, I see. I thought that UUID was a physical drive. blkid does indeed give me two different UUIDs. So I take the one from the swap drive and put it there... [09:33] dsf: if you whant to always stay connected wile even inactiv then you just need to disable that feature an just stay up [09:33] dsf: but i cant even find the wake on connect setting anyways [09:33] Okay, I've replaced the UUID in the resume file. Now, I run "sudo update-initramfs -u"? [09:34] Yerushalmi: yes [09:34] gogeta1, That is my starting question. What feature is that and can I disable it? [09:34] dsf: yep turn off hibernate like we said [09:34] Yerushalmi: then you might try to hibernate/resume, it should work [09:34] Generating /boot/initrd etc. What exactly does this do? [09:34] dsf: quick and easy [09:34] gogeta1, copy :) [09:34] i have no sound in my system. i installed codecs. maybe there are no proper drivers for my sound card? sis integrated here [09:34] dsf: just set to never from power mangment [09:35] gogeta1, OK [09:35] Yerushalmi: it creates a special file with information and drivers need at boottime, before the /-fs it mounted [09:35] gogeta1, Thanks [09:35] *grumble* Half the time I do gksudo nautilus, my desktop goes blank when I close the terminal afterwards. [09:35] how do I create a file ? shouldn't "${HOME}/.hidden" < 'abc' ... be enough ? [09:35] Hibernating... [09:35] dsf: standby and hibernate to never [09:35] dsf: display off can stay on [09:35] I am doing this from a script /bin/bash [09:36] I want to resize a parition to fill the available free space.. what program can I use? [09:36] Hibernating's working okay. Let's see if it'll come back up from there... [09:36] well, one more Q: .. i have actually bubuntu in KVM and my qemu-kvm process devours all the time 100% of cpu although Ubuntu itself has load average about 0.10 0.15 [09:36] neil_d: you can use gparted [09:37] imase: thanks [09:37] Yey! The harddrive light has turned on! [09:37] It worked! Thanks so much! [09:37] dsf: oh what does hibernate do. its a evolved form of sleep where sleep subpends to ram hibernate sends a image of the os to disk ten shutdown. saves more power and allows for a fast boot seconds of a good machine [09:37] neil_d: but the partition which you want to resize needs to be unmounted. so if you want to resize /home, it could be a little challange [09:38] Yerushalmi: you have to do that again, whenever your swaps-uuid changes [09:38] neil_d: e.g. /home, / and so on [09:38] llutz_: How often does that happen? [09:38] dsf: thats was the question none was answering lol [09:38] Yerushalmi: never if you don't change swap manually or install another distro which will reinitialize swap [09:39] llutz_: Okay, awesome. Thank you so much! [09:39] np [09:40] bye :) [09:42] can you pls point me the way to a documentation of /etc/pam.d/common-password, i can't seem to find anything that documents the mx= min= etc pwd complexity checks...? [09:42] it got quite [09:43] hey guys can anyone give me a heads up on why a web cam video made wiht ubuntu 10.04 will not play on a Mac the file ext. is .ogv ? [09:44] White-Horse: you can try it with vlc [09:44] hi guys! [09:44] White-Horse: ogv is a quicktime format [09:44] can someone point me to a arm source of sshfs? [09:44] gogeta1 we did we both have vlc installed but my mate with the Mac just gets a bunch of lines and noise no video [09:44] gogeta1: isn't ogv ogg vorbis video? [09:45] ogg theora most typically [09:45] gogeta1, It seems that in Lucid the options for disable hibernate and suspend are removed from power-management (http://guide.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490945). I read also this configuration way (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=440225) but in Lucid the optionsa can_suspend and can_hibernate seem to don't be present. Any one knows something about it? [09:45] how can i find which files in a folder contain a specified word? [09:45] eureka_: grep word * [09:45] eureka_: fgrep [09:45] ShapeShifter499: it should be same sourcepackage as in any other architectures [09:46] dsf: oh for a ubuntu pc [09:46] dsf: easy to [09:46] Tm_T, so it don't matter just d-load the normal source and hope it builds? [09:46] I think I have a answer now: (http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/) [09:47] *compiles [09:47] dsf: same rules set pput to slep never [09:47] dsf: sleep [09:47] hi, Is there a way to get the ip address of a server using the terminal? [09:47] dsf: and the type of sleep is in the genrel tab there not removed [09:47] gogeta1, ok [09:48] ChesterX: /sbin/ifconfig [09:48] dsf: i think sleep and hibernate combined got removed is one or the other [09:48] ShapeShifter499: yes [09:48] dsf: bet setting never = disabled [09:49] is there any thing i can use to see what video/audio codecs are being used to make the web cam videos wiht ubuntu 10.04 ? [09:49] but [09:49] What is the "cp" command to copy a directory (and all of its contents/sub-directories) to another folder? I tried "cp -r /original /new" but that misses out sub-directories contents? [09:49] gogeta1, There is an option: When laptop lid is closed. I think that is the problem that I have. [09:49] dsf: you can set it to turn off display vs sleep or hibernate [09:49] dsf: or even do knothing [09:50] White-Horse: Does it play in VLC on Ubuntu? [09:50] What is the "cp" command to copy a directory (and all of its contents/sub-directories) to another folder? I tried "cp -r /original /new" but that misses out sub-directories contents? [09:50] Jordan_U yes it does [09:50] gogeta1, I can select blank screen. [09:50] White-Horse: But VLC on the mac does not? [09:50] dsf: yep [09:50] Jordan_U right [09:50] jeir: "cp -r" should do it [09:50] just a bunch a lines and noise [09:51] no video or sound [09:51] White-Horse: bta og video is thera [09:51] btw [09:51] can somebody help me with my raid partitions: I've created them like this: http://dpaste.com/272245/ , but after boot it's this: http://dpaste.com/272246/ ?

[09:52] what is bta og video is thera gogta1 ? [09:52] dsf: your using a labby as a server [09:52] White-Horse: That's odd. You can get the codec information in VLC from Tools > Codec Information.

[10:02] okey : ) [10:02] Heya all, I have a Dell laptop Inspiron N5010 model, it has windows 7 64-bit, now if I want to download ubuntu 10.10, should I get the 64-bit, while in the website 32-bit is recommended, I am not sure the deffirent with these 64-bit and 32-bit, can somebody assist me with picking? [10:02] When I choose Ubuntu in Grub, I get black Screen [10:02] chandrageetha: well its a matter of looking up your cam model to see if it even works in linux [10:02] I have ati radeon 3200 [10:02] pwnt: 64bit all the way :P [10:02] Guitar_Art: its not your graphics [10:02] charlieS: thers no many diffrent cams [10:02] ?

[10:03] pwnt: 64bit lets you utilize more than 3GB RAM, and is somewhat faster (in a manner of speaking) [10:03] pwnt: yea relly the case if your running more then 2 cores [10:03] pwnt: 32bit only lets you utilize up to 3GB RAM, but PAE (or whatever it is) enabled kernels give you up to 3.5GB [10:04] once i worked with googlechat and couldn´t work for longer. [10:04] Guitar_Art: reinstallation is all I can think of :/ [10:04] oh I see, my new laptop is 6gig of RAM =) I think thats why I should go to 64bit. because it can handle it, right?

It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [10:43] sresu: ubuntu desktop depends on `network-manager network-manager-gnome update-notifier` .. i have removed all of them and don't want them back [10:43] nettezzaumana: yea annoying when those meta packages depend on thing you dont whant then complanes when you try to remove em [10:44] gogeta1: i just removed it (ubuntu-desktop) ..

[10:45] gogeta1: nettezzaumana: I suppose it shouldn't [10:45] nettezzaumana: i dont even use that package i use the mini iso and build my own custom from it [10:45] Sup [10:45] but i'm still sorry that ubuntu seems to me like true medieval distro which no-one should use :P [10:45] O-o [10:46] nettezzaumana: lol [10:46] nettezzaumana: ubuntu will be the distro that kills windows [10:46] !troll [10:46] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [10:47] nettezzaumana: when vista was the garbage of os i cant tell you many many new users we got [10:47] !ot [10:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:02] does anyone have same problem? [11:03] Embraer, depends on how you all acces the internet [11:03] i have an issue. i am a legitimate user of bittorrent. when i use bittorrent under linux, i get an effect where torrents initally go fast, then crawl - and all other uses of network crawl too. - I use torrent under windows, this does not occur. - how do i find out whats happening? [11:03] airtonix, via router [11:04] Embraer, probably the best thing to do is to put a switch on a ubuntu box with two ethernet ports and the router on the other ethernet port then install zentyal server on it with the traffic shaping packages [11:05] Embraer: tell your mate to stop chewing up all the bandwidth? :) === Xaifas_ is now known as Xaifas [11:05] airtonix, thank for your reply, but I'm a real newby and I don't know how to do that, but his behavior really pisses me off [11:05] Embraer, get rid of him ? [11:06] greppy, That was the first thig we did [11:06] Embraer: jd does not have configuration to cap bandwith? [11:07] erUSUL, it does but how long do you think it will be before that gets changed [11:07] Embraer, if you're not going to be brave about confronting him your only other *serious* option is to learn how to be a network administrator and understand how Zentyal server works [11:07] erUSUL, I don't know, I use Transmission wich I limit so we all have a same ammount of bandwidth avaliable [11:07] it depends on the attitude of his friend :) if he understands that he is impacting others, and just doesn't know how to adjust the software or if he just doesn't care and is being selfish. [11:07] airtonix: oops; missread is a "rogue" user. [11:08] when adding quota to fstab would I only add to / or do I add to all separate partitions as well? [11:08] amarcolino: depends on where you want to enforce the quota; normally is in the partition holding the home folders [11:09] airtonix, I really apreciate your advice, but this is not a matter of bravery. We have talked this many times with him, now we want to limit his bandwith [11:10] erUSUL: thanks [11:10] could you help with that error please :http://picasaweb.google.com/106110131245686774957/Error#5537133778579668226 [11:10] Embraer, then you'll have to spend time learning how to use Zentyal (which used to be called ebox) in my experience it's the easiest method to manage a central server that controls users, groups, shares, internet access proxy and bandwidth shaping [11:10] uhm.. I'm running 10.10 on a laptop.. when i connected an external screen before ubuntu booted, ubuntu does not seem to recognize the laptop screen itself. Anybody got any clues? [11:10] I still can not get my alps touchpad on my sony vaio working it does not work at all during the installation and then when I boot up into the desktop and it doesn't show in the mouse settings. [11:11] Embraer, it's fairly easy to install and you opterate it through a webinterface [11:11] hello [11:11] airtonix: won't they have to use the ubuntu box as the gateway for the network for that to work? [11:11] i got some problem with wifi drivers, wpa_supplicant is keeping my card hostage..

[11:17] airtonix: I understand how it works, I was just concerned that Embraer may think it could be done without fundamentaly changing the design of the network. [11:17] Hi. On my desktop system in a daily cron job I do backups on a LUKS/dmcrypt encrypted disk. Unfortunately this makes the system unresponsive as the system is constantly waiting for kcryptd. I found suggestions, that kcryptd, pdflush, etc. can be set to lower IO or CPU priorities with iorenice/renice. Do you guys have any practical experience with these settings ? What is the best setting to avoid the system getting unresponsive when accessing encrypted disks ? [11:17] dwd [11:17] greppy oh yeah definitily need to make some minor changes [11:17] anyone [11:18] greepy, airtonix, thanks to both [11:18] airtonix: it also requires a second network connection in the server. [11:18] not everyone has network cards just sitting around :) [11:18] hi ! i have problem with my computer! after installing Windows 7, my GNU GRUB is lost ! how to recover back my GNU GRUB for accessing ubuntu? [11:18] Greppe, 10/100 cards are really cheap these days [11:18] !grub | SC-M [11:18] SC-M: 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. [11:19] airtonix: not saying they aren't cheap, just that it adds a little bit more configuration and knowledge, also not all the cheap cards work well with linux. [11:19] SC-M: That first link from ubottu should help you recover grub [11:19] thanks airtonix, and goodbye. Any Manual I should read? [11:20] Embraer, as much of the zentyal site and help.ubuntu.com wiki.ubuntu.com as you can [11:20] Embraer, also helps to know how to subnet and calculate in binary [11:20] ok, goodbye and thanks again [11:20] 的健康 [11:22] i got some problem with wifi drivers, wpa_supplicant is keeping my card hostage..

[13:39] I had 3 logical partitions under windows 7 [13:39] today I installed ubuntu.. and all the 3 partitions merged into one driv [13:40] err...i mean...i had three partitions..but now i can only view one as a 448GB filesystem [13:40] if I want to resume dd copying of /dev/zero and I have gotten the blocks from USR1.do I need to specify the "records in" value or "bytes copied" as the skip=blocks ? [13:40] how do I go about if i had a bad install, where I used to have windows 7 partition with 600gb hd. then the ubuntu took 300gb hd, and left windows 7 300gig, then after that the installation failed, Now I don't have ubuntu, but when I go to windows 7 it only has 300gig, so where can I restore my other 300gig that i've lost?

[13:42] pwnt, just re-install over the 300gb partition [13:43] Any idea on what caused my drive merging? [13:43] I actually want to try and install ubuntu again, but this time what will happen when I press "Install ubuntu" that at the stage after telling it "Install aside by side with another operating system" Now instead of leaving windows 7 300gig, and ubuntu 300gig, it shows me win 150gig, ubuntu 150gig, Its like my Hard-disk shrunk in the half if you know what i mean, after failing first install, trying install again that happened to me [13:43] jellow: that what I am trying to do [13:44] pwnt: Windows Disk manager should be able to grow a partiton [13:44] but it only see's the current 300gig as total, leaving windows 150 [13:44] pwnt: I would recommend growing your windows partition back up to all 600 Gigs, then look at Wubi, it will be easier for you to install [13:44] andrewnemeth: sorry, got called away. [13:45] pwnt: (Wubi is ubuntu, just a slightly different way of booting it and a much simpler way of installing it) [13:45] Ok captkirk , that what I should do, windows disk manager is inside windows7 itself? [13:45] sipior: np how can I install getfacl? no such command [13:45] pwnt: yup [13:45] andrewnemeth: it's part of the "acl" package [13:46] it's under manage your computer by rightclicking on "computer" in the start menu [13:46] What do I have to provide as skip=blocks value in dd? [13:46] i'm trying to find it. captkirk [13:46] andrewnemeth: but if you don't have getfacl, you don't have setfacl either, so i can't imagine how those attributes would be set. [13:46] I had three logical partitions excluding the partition in which I kept windows. Today, I formated the partition in which there was windows, and installed ubuntu 10.10. Now, after installing ubuntu all my three logical partitions disappeared into a single "448gb file system" and I can only see the files that were in one drive. I can't even see the files in the remaining two drives. Any idea... [13:46] ...about what happened? [13:46] sosaited, i'm looking in to it [13:46] just a sec [13:46] sipior: well yeah but aptitude doesnt allow anything to be installed due to dhcpd [13:46] w1zkid: Ok. Thanks [13:47] found it [13:47] just enter the amount of block you alrdy wiped using dd /dev/zero [13:47] skip=blocks. [13:47] andrewnemeth: it would appear something is broken with your chroot, but it's difficult to say what without knowing more about the situation. [13:48] Good morning all! Can anyone offer some insight as to why DNS would still be used on a website that has an entry in my /etc/hosts file? [13:48] w1zkid: I have two values I got from send USR1 signal to it. One is "records in/records out" the other is "bytes". I used didn't specify a block size in the inital command.. so which value should I use? [13:49] w1zkid: any solutions for my problem? [13:49] hallo [13:50] hmm.. good one sosaited [13:50] I have got a quick question: is it possible to have the 'skin' of ubuntu mavericks firefox in lucid?

Are we all looking forward to another long and glorious week of ubuntu addiction? [13:52] lol [13:52] cappicard, *facepalm*, didn't look at folders in/var/log [13:52] racchamanishi: Are you accessing that partition in Ubuntu? Ubuntu usually mounts bad/corrupted ntfs in a way that the data is recoverable. I have one corrupted Pqrp partition that windows doesn't even recognize and Ubuntu has mounted it normally [13:52] w1zkid: yes. Even during the installation procedure, it showed the same thing. One "448GB filesystem" instead of 3 logical drives. [13:53] Hi fellow Internet addicts. Are we all looking forward to another long and glorious week of ubuntu addiction?.

[14:05] Greetings! I have an issue I'm not understanding. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.0 on a friend's laptop (laptop has wireless). My thought was I could connect my cable modem to the ethernet port on the laptop. However, Ubuntu is not seeing the cable modem. What do I need to do ? [14:05] how do i install java in ubuntu 10.01? [14:05] hm I have no idea what the theme is called and since i am on lucid now i won't have it in there or will i? [14:05] how do i install java in ubuntu 10.10?

When my last laptop overheats it directly shuts down, and I stand still and stare at the black screen like an idiot, "wtf just happened"? :) [14:05] kubanc: open the software center and search for java [14:06] guys [14:06] Kaspi, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:06] any pdf to .doc converter 4 ubuntu available === burki is now known as lati [14:06] getting only web based solutions [14:06] Brownbear, OOo can export to pdf [14:07] wow, the apt log in /var/log/apt is really helpful, listing 30 installed packages in one line with almost no spacing /sarcasm [14:07] OY1R: pardon me but what is 00o? [14:07] Brownbear: open office [14:07] Open Office org [14:07] aha [14:07] ! [14:08] sachael: sarcasm in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:08] racchamanishi: The used space suggests that the data is there. you should be able to access it from the mounted location.

[14:10] anyone familiar with this problem? [14:10] OY1R: i guessed this will be the approach [14:11] but theres no button tu upgrade [14:11] to* [14:11] racchamanishi: The interesting part is that the partition type is 0x42, which is identifier for extended partition as I said. Which means that it is detecting the overall container, and not the internal logical partition boundaries. What option did you select during install? [14:11] hi guys [14:11] is there any way to improve jpg rendering in ubuntu 10.10? [14:11] can you speak Chinese [14:12] Kaspi, have a look at -> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-to-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-desktop-and-server.html [14:12] the quality of jpgs (in GChrome for example) is poor [14:12] sosaited: during the installation it just showed the same thing. One "448GB filesystem" instead of 3 logical drives [14:12] I have a couple pages that I would like ecrypted on my website, but I have never worked with SSL. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this in ubuntu 10.04? [14:12] !cn | wbanysys [14:12] wbanysys: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:13] Thank you [14:13] sosaited: and i just selected the partition in which there was windows. It was drive C: and the size was nearly 50gb [14:13] racchamanishi: That is odd. As I said there must have been 3 logical partitions under that 448GB filesystem. Even if you have 10 logical partitions, they always show up as one extended partition, and then different logical partitions. Either you missed that, or your tables were already corrupt. [14:14] I get the message Read-only file system although mount says it's read-write. any thoughts? [14:14] Kartagis, what's the fs type? [14:14] the game [14:14] racchamanishi: You didn't touch that 448gb filesystem? The partition where windows is installed is mostly Primary partition, not included in the extended one. [14:14] so what is the standard ubuntu theme for maverick called? this one with the hexagonal red stop button and the outlined colourless back and forth etc buttons? [14:14] crashanddie_ ntfs I think [14:15] I got up this morning, and my Desktop would not go to 1024x768 resolution. It's always done that. Now it doesn't even give the option [14:15] for it [14:15] Any ideas? [14:15] OY1R: apparently the newer version is not known for my system [14:15] sosaited: yea.. I didn't even touched it. I just selected the partition in which there was windows and formatted it. [14:15] Hello Guys, I guess it had to happen, but it couldn't have happened at a worse time. I have a business launch going on and suddenly Ubuntu has declared that I will not be receiving any further updates. I'm running 8.10 and I need to get this thing updated, but can't afford to have a meltdown in the process. What is my best course of action with the least amount of time invested? I'm just too dog gone busy to spend hours messing with this th [14:15] Kartagis, I don't think writing to ntfs is supported natively (don't take my word for it). Last I checked, you need ntfs-3g to write on the partition. [14:15] 'ello...i have a 3g modem for the internet...and i think i have a speed limitation from ubuntu...i cand get past 15.3 kB/s when i download [14:15] racchamanishi: You shouldn't write anything on that mounted one. And use testdisk to recover the old partitions. I am 90% sure that it will be able to detect the old tables. [14:15] Problem: Ubuntu 10.10 install not seeing cable modem. Any ideas ? [14:16] Kaspi, follow EVERY single step ? [14:16] has anybody ever used their laptop as a wifi access point? [14:16] zk__, what signal are you getting? [14:16] crashanddie_ but I always was able to write to it. this is a phone [14:17] sosaited: okay, i'll try test disk now. [14:17] captkirk: I'm uploading an image now [14:17] Kartagis, what phone? [14:17] racchamanishi: See http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Data_Recovery_Examples for a few examples. Testdisk recovers previous partitions even if you had formatted the area (Unless it was a zero byte wipe) [14:17] crashanddie_ nokia 5800 [14:17] heyo [14:17] Kartagis, then it should be fat32, not ntfs (if you're talking about the storage media in the phone) [14:17] question: how to upgrade to the 2.6.35 kernel under ubuntu 9.10? [14:17] OY1R: I did omit the recommended steps and I tried both GUI & console approach [14:17] Anyone know a channel that deals with multiboot ISOs? [14:18] crashanddie_ or that, sorry [14:18] Kartagis, can you check? just type "mount" in the command line [14:18] Is there any IRC client that allows to filter out or selectively only show posts from one or two posters?.

[14:24] DX [14:24] sorry. [14:24] racchamanishi: You will get 3 logical partition (Probably in quick search, otherwise in deeper search). see http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step for instructions and images on how to write the tables. You should confirm first that your data is intact by seeing the files [14:24] just trying to get stuff to work for three days now [14:24] I can't afford to lose info, but my laptop has 2 partitions and I'm wondering if I can chanage the important stuff over to the windows partition side and then bring it back once I get it installed [14:25] How do I install 32-bit packages on 64-bit machines?

Best of luck. [14:26] it defaults to 'lts to lts' only [14:26] Kartagis, sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-* ain't working [14:26] F3LW0LF: so basically avoid dpkg?

[14:30] erUSUL: Kartagis: None of these information helped me, my system probably doesn't know about the newer version. I wanted to write "if there's no* upgrade button". F3LW0LF: go to settings? what do you mean? [14:30] Kaspi, i would rather do a fresh install. i find upgrading often brakes stuff. [14:30] is there a way to make a huge filesystem out of say like 8 running linux machines? [14:30] Kaspi, a second [14:31] F3LW0LF, linux source from kernel.org ....., yes i know i am repeating my self [14:31] Kaspi: the page should describe going to system>admin>software sources. third tab at the bottom. change from only lts to normal releases [14:31] Kaspi, open Update Manger [14:31] Manager* [14:31] erUSUL, that's the hard way [14:31] Hi.

[14:36] Promille, plz give some more details [14:36] rigved: xdm's pretty light [14:36] n3rV3: does it have all the standard packages that come with ubuntu, like openoffice.org? [14:36] I'm not surte if that changes my upgrade situation or not, but I need to make the best choice. [14:36] OY1R: is there a officailly supported ubuntu derivative using flux? [14:36] rigved, its just a desktop manager all those packages should already be there [14:37] rigved, if not you need to install them [14:37] Kartagis, what is the full url to add the kernel ppa? [14:37] Galaxor, Do you have the ntp daemon installed? It's not installed by default, apparently, but when it's present and running it will keep your system time synchronized with an atomic clock, accurate to within a microsecond or two. IMO it should be a default feature! [14:37] n3rV3: ok. so they are availalbe. that's good! [14:37] rigved, i dont know, cant remember, but install ubuntu and the install fluxbox [14:37] F3LW0LF I don't remember, it was given to you, [14:37] !lubuntu > rigved [14:37] rigved, please see my private message [14:37] Kartagis, should i change "karmic" to "maverick" ?

I have a folder (/media/HDD4/pictures/) in here there are 4000 subfolders with different names(i.e. high_school_2005). some of these folders are empty, and I want to quickly find the empty folders and delete them.

[14:42] [14:42] Promille: du checks how much disk something is using up, k tells it to show the output in kilobytes, s tells it to summarize and not dig down into the directory, then it gives the output to grep which searches around for lines taht start with "4 " so, lines that are about folders that are only 4k in size, which is the size of an empty folder [14:42] rigved: your family may have trouble using fluxbox or openbox [14:43] F3LW0LF: okay [14:43] captkirk: ah. thanks :) [14:43] rigved:it's not like they're really difficult so much as they are different [14:44] shebang_wafflesa: hmmm...what they basically need is a way to find files and open documents.

I'm using a Dell Lattitude D620 which has never given me any hardware issues from the first [14:45] rigved: i don't use any file managers, but you can set one up with openbox.

[14:46] Quagmire: I would test the Live CD of 10.04 and if it works do either a update to 9.10 then 10.04 or a fresh install of 10.04. [14:47] popey, ppa from apt-get doesn't work [14:47] downloaded em via http [14:47] F3LW0LF: define "doesn't work" ?

After you download the ISO MD5SUM it to check file integrity, then burn and test. [14:50] Eventy, you can probably find it by right clicking [14:50] Eventyret: right click n the terminal window. [14:51] ~[ rusivi ]~ huh, you hace me confused on the ISO MD5SUM part..... I need to DL 10.04 and then there is some other thing I need to do?

Have you a better idea?

Can anyone offer any insight as to why DNS would still be used for a particular website even though it is specified in /etc/hosts? [14:56] xro: why is not accurate enough?

[14:57] xro: you need sub milisecond resolution? [14:57] yes, i need sub milisecond resolution.... It's a password checker [14:57] F3LW0LF: but only for that one particular site?

I just uninstalled firestarter for this problem to appear ... help ? [14:59] nettezzaumana: the first user has to allow others to connect via xhost + and perhaps you need to export the DISPLAy variable (or both) [14:59] ok, installed headers+image [14:59] hope it's gonna work [14:59] xro: time checking 100000 passwords then do some math to show how much time it spends in each one [14:59] brb!

[15:03] first day with ubuntu and too many segfaults [15:03] hi, eclipse often crashes and i googled it, and it says it's cos of firefox, if i remove firefox, ill need a new browser, so ill choose chromium, will chromium cause any conflicts with chrome? [15:03] blue_anna, unstable [15:03] ubuntu is the poorest OS which i've ever seen [15:04] nettezzaumana: nice to have you with us [15:04] olskolirc: well also was the desired selection in wine config but pulseaudio seemed to interfere [15:04] oldmanstan: alsa* [15:04] fml [15:04] ProblemFTL: chrome is the rebranded name for the chromium wen browser [15:04] *web [15:05] Promille, sorry to have kept you waitnig [15:05] was busy [15:05] rigved, yeah, i use chrome and my brother uses firefox, but i need to remove firefox cos of the eclipse crashes, so ill give him chromium, but im wondering if it's possible to have chrome AND chromium installed? [15:06] Promille, its essentially -> find -type d -exec rmdir {} \; [15:06] i look for.. thnals [15:06] since rmdir deletes only empty dirs [15:07] ProblemFTL: they are one and the same thing. they are basically two name s for the same browser. install chromium from software center or chrome from the google website. it's your call [15:07] ProblemFTL: You should have no problem installing both. They are made from different sources [15:07] rigved, i already have chrome [15:08] FishFace, ok, ill take chromium from the USC, but it says it wont get updated? [15:08] hello [15:08] FishFace: i thought they were just rebranded versions of the same browser [15:08] ProblemFTL: Thats cause it is open source. Chrome is from Google and you get what they give you [15:08] I thought the google version had some differnt features. I forget what.. :) [15:09] FishFace, so if i want a newer chromium, ill have to wait till 11.04? [15:09] ubuntu wont update it cause it updates itself silently [15:09] tieinv, chromium doesnt have an auto updater [15:09] I'm on kubuntu maverick and chromium obviously doesn't integrate with kde ...it's a shame because otherwise I would make it my default browser [15:09] nettezzaumana: segfaults could be due to flakey ram. [15:09] Chromium has daily builds. You should always be able to update it [15:09] ProblemFTL: if you install chrome, it will add the google repository for chrome. when you run update manager, it will also update chrome. [15:09] silently [15:10] i know that rigved, i already have chrome :) [15:10] Hey has anyone mounted an external USB or Firewire hard drive successfully? [15:10] BluesKaj: did you tr google kubuntu maverick and chromium [15:10] Dr_Willis & zamba .. well, segfaults are because of bubuntu sucks ... i'm testing this system first day and i have seen at least 4 just bloody today [15:10] Delphious: mounts the same as an inernal hard drive [15:10] nettezzaumana: whatever.. troll elsewhere please. [15:11] Normally you will get more updated for Chromium than Chrome. Although I haven't see this personally. Its what 'they say' :) [15:11] ah ah ok so under /dev it would mount at then just format it to be a compatible using JFS or EXT3/4. [15:11] Delphious: yes. [15:11] !mount | Delphious [15:11] Delphious: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:11] Delphious: they should be /dev/sdXX same as most all drives. [15:11] What is the name of this mail nofication applet, that starts by default with gnome? [15:12] dw-, yes I have chromium installed ..it runs fine but I have a 42" tv as a monitor and the chromium tabs and bookmark bar fonts are too small to read from this distance [15:12] Delphious: most of those should auto mount, but if thers no FS on them yet. guess they wouldent.. You dont mount them THEN format the filesystem [15:12] Dr_Willis: okay, no problem .. but i still don't understand why do you feel touched because of i just said, that ubuntu sucks because it showed me a lot of segfaults of core components in short period .. hehe. i'm a senior UNIX sysadmin and i really know what i'm talking about [15:12] miguel000: try right click > about [15:12] I do not have it anymore, because I replaced gnome with another window manager [15:12] most drives come ntfs formatted, thats all [15:13] miguel000: mine says Indicator Applet 0.4.6 [15:13] nettezzaumana, if you are a seniour unix admin then you would also know the proper code of conduct. Please do not post offtopic subjects in here, such as saying something sucks. [15:13] thank you dw- [15:13] nettezzaumana: i dont think you do.. and ranting is not really support related. take rants to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [15:13] miguel000: https://launchpad.net/indicator-applet [15:13] nettezzaumana, if you were a senior unix admin, you'd probably know that saying you are a senior unix admin doesn't give you any bonus points, especially when you troll. [15:14] BluesKaj: no exp with that particular setup :[ [15:15] dw-, I think the settings / fonts on chromium are hard coded so it's like other google apps , doesn't integrate with the desktop/applications settings [15:16] BluesKaj: i think ive seen some ubuntu related chrome themes or whatever they call them. :) [15:17] Is there a GUI for opensync in Ubuntu Maverick? [15:17] yeah Dr_Willis there are themes but they're strictly webpage related [15:17] BluesKaj: you mean like the windows controlls being on the wrong side? or has that been fixed yet? [15:17] heyo [15:17] now i can't build anymore [15:17] hehe. don't feel touched guys and grant me more patience .. i'm testing first day ubuntu 10.10 (last time it was 6.06 LTS) .. such a sidested just pains when you've came from (speaking about Linux only now) fedora or opensuse - which are mny personal favourite distros [15:17] make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.36-020636-generic/build' [15:17] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. [15:18] good evening, i want to know if i have a possible to rescue the space in the hard disk after the installation of ubuntu near the microsoft windows [15:18] that stuff Dx [15:18] Hello [15:18] Is there a GUI for opensync in Ubuntu Maverick? [15:18] no Dr_Willis I mean resizable fonts on the tabs and bookmarkbar , they can't be resized [15:18] I'm wondering if there is any tool to make a directory looking like an iso, using it as a stream. ? [15:19] So I can modify any text file within my directory and still use this directory as an iso, without needing to create an iso from that directory (which is time consumming when I have to do that many times) [15:19] BluesKaj: Hmm. cant say that ivce noticed that. but i rarely use chrome. [15:19] serard: as a stream? [15:20] I can't figure out how to start the indicator-applet manually [15:20] MidnighToker: its in the add-remove applets thing.. it holds that mail and volume icons.. [15:20] wrong nick. :) doh [15:20] Dr_Willis, yes, I don't know if it is the correct word. But imagine I want to simulate an ISO file from a directory, without actually having to create the .ISO file [15:20] !resetpanel | miguel000 [15:20] miguel000: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:21] serard: vlc and other tools can play a dvd 'from a directory' [15:21] serard: if you are refering to a video dvd. [15:21] No I'm not. [15:21] make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. <- why do i get that error after a kernel update? [15:21] Dr_Willis: ah I am not even running any panel [15:21] hi all !! anyone able to help with a wd tv live plus??? [15:21] thoght i can put the applet in my trayer [15:21] Dr_Willis, Iasked in #chromium-support and don't think there's an answer , it's been 45 mins since I posted [15:21] hi [15:21] miguel000: thers ya go :) heh. most of the 'docks' out there also have similer features these days. [15:22] miguel000: the inticator-applet is like a tray that goes in the tray :) i guess.. its a little weird. [15:22] Dr_Willis, In fact I need to create Ubuntu customized iso, and I'd like to make economy of the "iso file creation process", if it can be done. Else it is all good, I'll create bash scripts to create iso from directory :) [15:22] serard: ive not done that. Ive only used that reconstructor web site.. and they are not free any more. :( [15:22] Dr_Willis: but I have no binary like: /usr/bin/indicator-applet [15:22] serard, the thing is that the layout of an iso image is quite different from that of a directory === SexArabic is now known as none [15:23] hi [15:23] miguel000: its a gnome panel applet - so it may not have a binary likwe that. unlike for example that gnome-volume-applet [15:23] serard, so I don't think it would be viable to have a translation layer -- creation an iso takes just under a minute anyway on a good HD [15:23] n3rV3, OY1R: I'm greatful 4 the help. [15:24] crashanddie_, yes I'm finally ok with that :) [15:24] Brownbear, np [15:24] thank you Dr_Willis, crashanddie_ :) [15:24] i have ubuntu 10.04. if i install lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop, then how do i remove the gnome DE?

Mixing in kernels from 2 different releases is proberly not a good idea. [15:37] you would proberly be better off compiling the thing. or finding a ppa with updated kernels for your release [15:38] Dr_Willis, you ain't helping...

[16:00] pksadiq, It's actually a SDHC card from my digital camera. Its 2 months old. It worked before. My camera can write to it. It's just that my desktop can not read it. [16:00] BluesKaj: i have everything setup and working to print, but i hear that there is a way to have my windows boxes not have to specify which driver and that it can be served straight up w/ cups/samba.. [16:00] skorasaurus, I did upgrade to 10.10 since I used it last [16:01] erUSUL, i installed eggdrop. but where is its .conf? [16:01] ok, let's see if it works in the laptop [16:01] gantrixx: does ls /dev/sd* shows it? === Pinako is now known as Pinna [16:01] pksadiq, how would I know which one it is? [16:02] gantrixx, I'd say, first check df -h [16:02] No it is not mounted [16:03] and the drive should be the one closest to its storage amount. [16:03] I've checked /media [16:03] touche. [16:03] it doesn't appear then in df, right [16:03] gantrixx: first remove the device and check ls /dev/sd* then plugin device and check , if any difference [16:03] skorasaurus, no [16:04] interesting. My laptop can read it [16:04] laptop is on 10.10 also === light is now known as Guest50852 [16:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/528225/ This is the error messages from /var/log/messages [16:06] gantrixx: also when you plug it in. watch the output of 'dmesg' (run dmesg a few times over the course of a minet or so) at the end. it should mention if its found, and what sd## it is. [16:06] logs - even better. : [16:06] What would cause me to be unable to download packages through synaptic but when putting the same url that failed into firefox it downloads fine? [16:07] Hmm.. Logs dont look too good to me gantrixx .

[16:07] this could be a faulty SD card [16:07] uuuu. i can't move with tabs in firefox by dragging them with mouse ... o.O [16:07] gantrixx: ive had some laptops have issues with their built in media readers.. [16:07] gantrixx: got a usb one you can plyg in and try real quick? [16:07] any idea? [16:08] Hmm. I never even noticed they were moveable.. I can move them here. [16:08] drag them to where it shows a little Down Arrow btween tabs.. [16:09] nettezzaumana, Maybe #firefox can help you better [16:09] gantrixx: does ls /dev/sdi* shoh sdi1 etc? [16:09] Hang on Doc, I'm trying to salvage these photos while I have a chance [16:09] the laptop reads them [16:10] Dr_Willis: pff. they are not in ubuntu because of your mentioned little down arrow never occurs [16:10] but F-Spot can't read it [16:10] nettezzaumana: its working fine here. Version 3.6.12 [16:11] Dr_Willis, yes, I just plugged in a Lexar jumpdrive and it mounted no problem [16:11] gantrixx: so it seems to be an issue with the internal media reader. Ive seen some laptops have some tweaks mentioned in differnt threads to get them going. [16:12] gantrixx: my netbook needed some kernel option to get both slots working. even then it had some issues with only reading the cards IF they were plugged in when it booted. [16:12] Dr_Willis, the internal reader on my laptop can read it, my desktop can't even mount it [16:12] gantrixx: desktop is using a USB reader? or some sort of built in? [16:12] Hi everyone ;) If I do: crontab -e 0 */1 * * * would it add cron action to execute every 1 hours? Thx [16:12] I'm using an external USB reader on my desktop [16:13] on my laptop I'm using the built in [16:13] actually, my desktop has a built in too, I should try that [16:13] StaRetji1, http://www.devdaily.com/linux/unix-linux-crontab-every-minute-hour-day-syntax [16:14] If downloading packages through synaptic fails, but downloading from the same url directly succeeds, how do I fix that?

[16:15] gantrixx: ive had those cables come loose on some desktops in the past.

[16:16] Whoa doctor! A little shot of dust off in the built-in and now it reads the card [16:17] Pici: if i run it twice? will it add it twice? [16:17] StaRetji1: Run what twice? [16:17] StaRetji1, each line in the crontab is a single instruction with its own independent time and command specifications [16:18] Pici: I'm not sure if it is already ran [16:18] OK, guys, you are welcome to flame me [16:18] StaRetji1, so two lines that say the same thing will spawn two processes doing the same thing at the same time [16:18] call me an idiot [16:18] blue_anna: thx for clarifiying that [16:18] it appears that the reader just had dust in it that was causing read problems [16:18] StaRetji1: If your run 'crontab -e', it will bring up your $EDITOR and you can edit your crontab from there. It should be clear then what entries you have. [16:18] gantrixx: its already so, we don't need to call you to be so ;) [16:18] blue_anna: so crontab is a file, right? [16:19] pksadiq, guilty as charged [16:19] Pici: THX! :) I get it now. [16:19] but damn I like simple fixes like this [16:19] StaRetji1, it is.. sorta .. there's a crontab for each user. the command "crontab" manages these [16:19] StaRetji1: When you save and close your editor, it will install the crontab. [16:19] gantrixx: never care, errors makes man perfect [16:20] if someone is logged into my machine via ssh, can I as root send them messages?

[16:21] how can i remove all configuration from vlc , i messed up [16:21] Dr_Willis, even snes and n64 ones are like the nes ones [16:21] jellow: user configs? are in the users home dir somewhere. [16:22] Dr_Willis: but I know they are using a shell in this case [16:22] StaRetji1, if you need to run something as another user (eg root), you should run the crontab command form that user id and add it to their crontab [16:22] StaRetji1, if you want, there is documentation on your computer already for cron [16:22] StaRetji1, man crontab or man cron ... man -k cron (gnome-schedule looks promising) [16:22] !info talkd [16:22] talkd (source: netkit-ntalk): Remote user communication server.

[16:22] gdoteof: i recal some 'talk' or 'wall' program years and years back [16:22] jellow: you can also apt-get purge vlc [16:22] gdoteof: Both tools that Dr_Willis just mentioned should be installed by default. [16:23] Dr_Willis, can't see anything obvious in /home [16:23] gdoteof: have a look at 'wall' [16:23] jellow: ~/.config/vlc [16:23] jellow: config dirs got .names :) [16:23] what connand to launcha MODX??

(whatever that was called) [16:24] blue_anna: I ask this in case I forget all of this, I just paste that dir and file in /tmp will work, all I get it wrong? [16:25] okay i am using that program [16:25] hey guys I can't seem to get past this compile error.

I'm trying to install rutorrent [16:26] why is that [16:26] i just took my friends computer [16:26] ninjai: rutorrent? or rtorrent? [16:26] Dr_Willis: rutorrent [16:26] mzawieska: if a partition is mounted.. gparted wont want to mess with it...

[16:27] so what i suppose to do [16:27] ninjai: well if it was in the repos.. it would be easy to grab all the 'needed to compile deps' :() [16:27] mzawieska: use a live cd. or unmount the filesystems. [16:27] Dr_Willis: I know, but sadly I've been trying to compile it from source from the creators website [16:28] ninjai, apt-get install libssl-dev [16:28] ninjai, will provide you with /usr/lib/libcrypto.a and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so, which should resolve the -lcrypto dependency [16:28] StaRetji1, crontab -l|xclip -selection "clipboard" and then paste it into an email to yourself [16:28] ninjai: you could try a command like 'sudo apt-get build rtorrent' - that would install all needed deps/libs for rtorrent. that may be close.. [16:28] ninjai: seems crashanddie_ knows where its from. :) [16:28] crashandie_: I just installed that, I was about to try again. thanks [16:29] blue_anna: I guess if I paste root file in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ it will work another machine?

[16:30] AbhiJit: Exams? ;) [16:30] -lfoo -> libfoo.a --> then search in the pacakge manager tools. :) [16:30] pksadiq, yeah [16:30] Dr_Willis how can I do this from CLI? [16:30] ninjai, I'm a C++ dev by trade, I get these questions internally all the time, just know it off the top of my head. When compiling, "-lsomething" refers to "include library 'something'". It then looks in "/usr/lib/libsomething", so I just apt-file search /usr/lib/libcrypto and it shows the packages that provide it. [16:31] StaRetji1, I bet that's it .. you could check on the web or in your system's man pages for information about the files used in crontab [16:31] StaRetji1, crontab -l works for the current user [16:31] crashanddie_: thanks!! [16:31] Dr_Willis, .a only if they allow static inclusion, which is not the case for every lib. [16:32] ninjai: i tend to take a shotgun approach and install every -dev package that seems related.. :) [16:32] What command to launch MODX ? [16:32] Dr_Willis that what I do as well lol. It seems so wrong but it works :P [16:32] Try to sell that to your customers: "pre-requisites, apt-get install *-dev" [16:33] freshly installed vim takes forever to open D: [16:33] ninjai: that apt-get build-dep feature is VERY handy.. but only if the paclage is int he repos. (like an older version) [16:33] what is the meaning of this D: [16:33] ShredMaster: Perhaps if you explained what MODX is, and how you installed it, we might be able to help [16:33] anyone know how to add progz to the left panel in 10.10 [16:33] ty dr_willis === SKAN is now known as SKAN^goneforday [16:34] ninjai: sudo apt-get build-dep rtorrent -> pulls in that libssl-dev [16:34] ninjai: :) [16:34] can anyone give me some tips on how to link my fully qualified domain to a service such as dyndns.org (free) using CNAME so that i can make my wordpress/lamp installation functional here ? or another dyndns.org type service which is free, that is supported by dd-wrt [16:34] Pici: Isn't modx used for writing HTML?? [16:34] * Dr_Willis checkes how rutorrent differers from rtorrent [16:34] valleydaddy78: netbook version? open the application then right click on its icon and tell it to stay in dock [16:34] apt-get moo is nice [16:35] I get this error at the login screen says "[9.45732] Too many connections" .

[16:36] Dr_Willis: Transmission was starting to piss me off. Crashes a lot... and not to mention it's brutal inability to handle RSS feeds. [16:36] Dr_Willis: I know, but I was having problems... I think because the version in my repo was older than the latest release.

[17:03] i want to start Tor [17:03] and privoxy [17:03] obengdako: No. I was first trying to get her to install via Unetbootin (so it had edited the and maybe added grub4dos), But then as that failed, I asked her to burn it on a cd-rw. Then I guided her to make two ext4 partitions. mounting one at / and then finish settng up partitions. [17:03] is it safe to continue using sys.inherits?

[17:08] hi when install ubuntu can anyone recommend how i should format my harddrive as i dont really understand it i.e. /boot - 50gb /home - 25gb [17:09] Ubuntu 10.10 does not ship with OSS and it doesn't seem like it can be installed using apt because apt will want to remove GDM... so the solution is to run a new kernel with OSS in it. Then use Gnome ALSA Mixer to enable 'Capture' in order to route the Line-in to the program. It should work at that point [17:09] dewy: don't bother with /boot, just / and /home is fine [17:10] dewy: I usually do 10gb for / .. 2gb for swap and the rest for /home [17:10] tsimpson: why do i need to set it up like that though. Why is it not okay to give / 250gb only [17:10] so pksadiq ? [17:10] how do i add a service ? [17:10] wissem: add the same line as such to rc.local [17:11] Hi! I upgraded to 10.10 and now apt-get hangs at "unpacking replacement ...". [17:11] bazz: may as well fsck it befor and after [17:11] wissem: /etc/init.d/tor start [17:11] wissem: /etc/init.d/tor start & [17:11] Can anyone help? [17:11] already tried that ! [17:11] ah okay ;) [17:11] wissem: remove sudo [17:11] pksadiq: or perjhaps 'sudo service tor start' no need for a & [17:11] Hi: I'm using Snort, AcidBase and Mysql. I want to use the sensor Wlan0 instead of Eth0, how could I do it? I saw that is using snort -c config -i wlan0 [17:11] dewy: you can just have /, but if you ever want to reinstall and you have a separate /home, you won't need to find somewhere to put your files [17:11] however, how could I setup it in the daemon?

You could use 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' [18:00] VNC gives you a full 'desktop' in a window.. ssh can run single apps and have them appear locally. [18:00] what is the best securest remote desktop for linux? [18:00] why the isue on 10.10 on 10.04 it worked floawlesly [18:00] SerpentX: depends on your needs. 'nx' is proberly the best in most cases.. but it has other limiations. [18:00] I am using Ubuntu Lucid and since few weeks I get an error at login. It says that the 'Power Management" is not responding. I tried to unmark it from the startup but the problem continues and at every login it takes few minutes to unblock. Any suggestion? [18:01] Hi [18:01] Okay, I just finished checking my CD, and it says "errors found in 1 files" [18:01] Apple Products > Mac OS Snow Leopard > Windows 7 > Ubuntu 10.10 [18:01] i need something that makes me set the permisions on read an write on the files [18:01] I assume that's my problem... but it's the second bad CD I've had. Any suggestions on how to avoid a third? I'm already burning at minimum speed. [18:01] i saw that is common problem on 10.10 [18:01] * SerpentX runs before he is tried for Blasphemy [18:01] Perhaps I should use a USB drive to boot instead? [18:02] any easy way to fix permissions in interface mod [18:02] ieri, are you using k3b, brasero, xfburn, or wodim? [18:02] either ur cd's are lousy [18:02] or ur burner is lousy [18:02] ji guys [18:02] or u mangled ur d/l [18:03] or ur burning software sucks [18:03] ieri: i always make bootable flash drives... less hassles [18:03] !enter | SerpentX [18:03] SerpentX: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[18:04] sorry there is a direct simlink between my brains END OF THOUGHT and the enter key :) [18:04] I have a 4 GB flash drive I"m not using though - I could do that. [18:04] ieri: if you got a 2gb flash drive (a 1 may work) - try making a bootable flash drive and isntall from that. it will install a lot faster. [18:04] @arkanabar: I don't know if I'm eligible, but I do know I'm too impatient. [18:04] ieri: pendrivelinux has tools for doing that.. or use unetbootin [18:04] ieri, if I could get my mobo to boot from USB, that's what I'd do. [18:05] I'll try that - as soon as I check whether this PC supports it. [18:05] does anybody remember how to make sure that the firefox browser adheres to the system scheme re font size(only menu bar and context menu and text boxes) [18:05] Any chance there's a tutorial for setting up the flash drive somewhere? If not, I can muddle through it. [18:06] ieri: pendrivelinux web site...... [18:06] i think there one at the wiki or even at the main oage# [18:06] other sites also.. unetbootin is ather easy to use. [18:06] ieri, for live usb use lili linux http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [18:06] lili works.. but i found it annoying. :) [18:07] I'm using lubuntu and I've installed hplip, but all jobs sent to my HP LaserJet 1018 disappear or stop. How do I fix it? [18:07] I am using Ubuntu Lucid and since few weeks I get an error at login. It says that the 'Power Management" is not responding. I tried to unmark it from the startup but the problem continues and at every login it takes few minutes to unblock. Any suggestion?

[18:09] what the heck .. i set the permision on the partition to read and write and nothing happends.. and i hate the command line [18:09] burnatonce also nice. [18:09] I'm using lubuntu 10.10 and I've installed hplip, but all jobs sent to my HP LaserJet 1018 disappear or stop. How do I fix it?

Is there any thing I need to do to make sure things are ok... any certain tests or stuff I should do? [18:11] Well, infrarecorder didn't want to run as slow as I'd like... when I chose speed, it only let me choose MAX or 10x. I'm hoping a different program will burn slower. [18:11] What browsers does everyone use? I'm looking to try a new browser, something that may not be very known. I'm looking at uzbl right now. Any recommendations ?

[18:27] grpace: I'm surprised the mac address would matter for that. Usually they're only used to restrict access in private networks. Have you checked your router settings? It's possible you've got data restricted by mac address tehre. [18:27] hmm dont know what u mean xrdodrx should i compile first or not?

After a resume from suspend my settings are gone. Never had this problem in Lucid [18:38] grpace: your best bet is to connect the new pc to the modem, reset the modem, then wait a few minutes. If it doesn't work call your ISP and complain. [18:38] Quagmire, go to /dev and see how many items in there have names like "sda1" to "sda9" [18:38] juboba: vim can remove them too, but I forget the key combination for ^M [18:38] rusivi: am talking about usb 3.0 here not 2.0 [18:38] grpace: If you tried to connect both at the same time, that could be a problem.

Are you ready to get rid of XP? [18:48] rinku_kokiri: ok, the only thing i can think of is (besides reinstalling the packages, but i assume you've tried that) is to report the bug and wait [18:48] yggdrasi2: 64-bit [18:49] is it supported ? [18:49] or faster or what ? [18:49] I have zero need for it, but I should take a fast look over there to make sure I didn't stick something over there and forget about it. [18:49] aeon-ltd:~# kk thx...

[18:53] ~[ arkanabar ]~ uh, the XP partition is small [18:54] Quagmire, how small? [18:54] 45gb vs 58gb for 9.04 [18:54] rinku_kokiri: i do have one other idea though its not great, try OSS [18:54] aeon lol [18:55] Quagmire, that's HUGE.

[19:11] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It's loading [19:12] tony_, now, double check you plugged in the right socket [19:12] I will say one thing it is far more pleasing to the eye than 9.04 [19:12] dli, it's in the correct [19:13] steph291: http://www.nessus.org/download/nessus_download.php dont know if its server+client package or client only [19:13] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I see gparted [19:13] Quagmire, good. fire it up.

[19:15] the biggest one is the ATI driver [19:15] hey folks, I have an external esata drive, and the speeds are way slower than they should be (7-28Mb/s)... Checked my logs and the device is attached as "Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0" I have no idea if that is correct, but there are a series of "hard resetting" errors afterwards, and also a "limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps" message, even though it is nowhere near that... any ideas? [19:15] ati rage mobility p/m agp 2x [19:15] tony_, then, go back to alsamixer, or install pulseaudio, do "pulseaudio --start;pavucontrol" and double check there [19:15] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It's the smaller drive which is listed as 42gb and doesn't have much stuff on the that drive, so I'm sure it's the xp drive [19:15] dli, will do, thanks [19:16] is there any benefit to using a 64 bit ubuntu rather than 32bit [19:16] Quagmire, I always like to double check when telling people to format hard disks.

[19:17] Hiya, I'm trying to auto-convert 2D (VOBs from DVD) videos into 3D (Colorcode3D) ones under Ubuntu - help! [19:17] tony_, do something like: aplay /dev/urandom, while noises are playing properly, plug in and double check. if you can boot another OS, boot and confirm hardware settings [19:17] Quagmire, been a few weeks since I looked at gparted & don't remember exactly. Look for something that would let you resize it. [19:18] dli, ok thx [19:18] you may be able to just grab the right edge in the GUI and drag it leftward. [19:18] you will want to shrink it by about 10GB. [19:18] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It also has ntfs listed as the file system and unless linux is doing SOME more strange stuff these days, its safe to say we have the right partition selected. LOL [19:19] Quagmire, btw: how much free space on sda5? [19:19] I really screwed up my ubuntu system by accidentally using a debian repo. It looks like python-minimal and/or python are screwed up. It was recommended that I download those packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python2.5-minimal, but I cannot find a download link. Does anyone have a suggestion, even for a different direction? [19:19] tony_, pulseaudio can confirm volume/mute settings at software side [19:19] THere is a red sizing arrow that says Resize/Move the selected partition hovering over it when I place my cursor over it, so that's the right one [19:20] not a whole lot to tell the truth [19:20] how to remove stack applet from my system? [19:20] why is apt-get update doesn't work for me [19:20] will wubi, the windows ubuntu installer, let me set up a dual boot? [19:20] x_or: if you've mixed repos, I'd suggest a clean install to get back to a sane state [19:20] ~[ arkanabar ]~ The linux partition is probably about 75 to 80% full [19:20] Eventyret: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:20] Eventyret: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ [19:20] Quagmire, ok. we will deal with making your data there permanently available after you've finished your install. [19:21] I installed the package kubuntu-desktop alongside an existing, normal, Ubuntu (GNOME) install and now the fonts in Firefox look really weird. Now I no longer get that nice subpixel rendering that for some reason is still in all the other programs I use. How can I get that back? [19:21] dli, alright [19:21] ikonia, I concur with you regarding x_or's issue [19:22] ikonia: This is a networked server, not sure if that is easy for me to do. Slicehost. [19:22] harvi_svk : included in nessus download is everything :P [19:22] x_or: contact slicehost for remote hands, or plan a trip to the DC [19:22] There is a tiny slice at the very end that is called Linux swap [19:22] falloree: when you install linux with wubi it will automaticly create dual boot [19:22] steph291: so everything is ok? [19:22] Quagmire, leave that alone. You'll need it later, when you install. [19:23] harvi_svk: thanks! [19:23] so far so good [19:23] I have a laptop with x700 radeon, any game freezes after a while, any tip ? ubuntu 10.10 [19:23] pretty typical install [19:23] Any other film makers here?

[19:23] falloree: tested on 8.04 and 9.04 [19:23] holmser: no need at all [19:23] doh sorry for the flood [19:23] Loonatic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:23] ikonia, any ideas why it would be so loud and constantly read/writing? [19:24] holmser: failing disk [19:24] holmser, What kind of noise does it make? [19:24] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It's listed as 2.14gb [19:24] Quagmire, how much ram on the system? [19:24] yeah, bad surface sectors so it's having to run all over the drive to access the good ones left ... [19:24] Hmmm I think 2gb. but what is the easiest way to find it [19:24] Stereocaulon, nothing out of the ordinary, just loud, and constantly [19:25] holmser, I can't help you if you are not specific. [19:25] Quagmire, it's doubtless fine. [19:25] under system monitor [19:25] I don't really know how to describe a hdd noise [19:25] D: protocol-native.c: Underrun on 'ALSA Playback', 0 bytes in queue. [19:25] anyone?

[19:25] under system monitor I see 2.9gb listed as Meory [19:25] Stereocaulon, I can hear the head moving, like a seek noise [19:26] holmser, if it's a ticking noise, back up your data( as much as much as you can still salvage) ASAP. [19:26] Quagmire, that means you likely don't have enough swap for suspend. Do you care? [19:26] IIRC RAM is listed by dmesg or somewhere under /proc/info ... [19:26] Stereocaulon, no ticking.... I have dealt with that one. All my data is backed up already. Learned that lesson a LONG time ago. [19:26] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Honestly I have no opinion === wzk is now known as wzkOFF [19:27] Quagmire, then it's fine. Have you resized sda1 down by about 10GB yet? [19:27] holmser, ok, but if it gets louder than it's time to dump your old disk. Is it in a RAID 1/5 configuration? [19:28] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I dragged the bar to the left and it says 10070MiB Free Space [19:29] Quagmire, good. Select that unallocated/free space and create a new partition, sda2, there. [19:29] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I carefully confirmed it said sda1 [19:29] Stereocaulon, I have 2 disks, no raid, a 160gb with system files/home on it and a 1tb for downloads [19:30] i'm pretty new to ubuntu and having problems with my Repositories list [19:30] holmser, I have 2x 1.5TB in RAID1 + 2 x1TB for data [19:30] i have this problemmmm [19:30] http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=83736 [19:30] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It shows a grayed out spot that is about 10gb in size [19:30] dli, the strange thing is that when I have them semi-plugged in, the external speakers kinda play [19:30] Yeah, open a terminal, then "cat /proc/meminfo" - the top line tells you the total amount of RAM your system has. [19:30] Quagmire, yep. I think if you right-click that, it'll let you create a partition there. [19:30] ~[ arkanabar ]~ should I right click on the gray box and choose NEW [19:30] dli, a little plugged in and a little out [19:30] Quagmire, yep. [19:31] ~[ arkanabar ]~ what choices do I make [19:31] leave it as Primary partition? [19:31] am i just going to have to switch back to windows to make these problems go away or what>? [19:31] Quagmire, primary partition, and I like ext4. [19:31] ~[ arkanabar ]~ change the label [19:31] So all the extra read/writes/noise are probably because of errors/bad disk? [19:32] i mean that's a pretty serious bug to just leave in there [19:32] probably [19:32] dli, do you understand what I mean? [19:32] pwnt, which distro are you using? 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) or 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)? [19:32] rinku_kokiri: what's the bug? [19:32] ActionParsnip:~# same audio bug i've been complaining about ever since i installed ubuntu [19:32] it plays for 7-30 mins, then underrusn [19:32] Stereocaulon: the distro is Ubuntu in both cases there, you mean release [19:32] *underruns [19:33] rinku_kokiri: got a link or number? [19:33] ActionParsnip, yes, indeed, the release [19:33] ActionParsnip, rinku_kokiri has this issue: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=83736 [19:33] ActionParsnip:~# but it's in EVERYTHING [19:33] ~[ arkanabar ]~ change the label to sd2? I already had an sda2 when I looked a while back. Do you remember that? [19:33] rinku_kokiri: not just isolated to vlc? [19:33] nope.. mozilla, opera, Totem [19:34] Quagmire, label != device. [19:34] I tend to break my ubuntu installs after about a year because of all the crap I decide to install/compile/forget I have running. I guess its time for a new install on a fresh disk. [19:34] ;-) [19:34] rinku_kokiri, basically some sound drivers are a mess. PulseAudio tends to conflict with ALSA, at least with hda_intel based chips. [19:34] holmser:~# may wanna keep your old install incase the sound don't work on yours either [19:34] Quagmire, if there is a second primary partition, it would be sda2, and you would have to get rid of it before creating a new one. [19:34] Stereocaulon:~# that's the issue.. i use creative [19:34] Good evening. Something is terminating my nm-applet (ran it from the terminal to see why it kept vanishing, last message was "caught signal 15" - 15 is SIGTERM, right? Suggestions what it might be and how to stop it would be gratefully recieved. [19:34] ~[ arkanabar ]~ so label should read [!=device]? [19:35] rinku_kokiri: The output pulldown menu has a PulseAudio option if you installed VLC from the Ubuntu package. Don't use ALSA compatibility if possible. [19:35] Stereocaulon:~# a VERY OLD creative [19:35] hi folks. i have lost the panel where it lists the running applications on top right; how can i fix this? [19:35] Quagmire, != means "does not equal." [19:35] rinku_kokiri, which chip of Creative? SB_Live CT1024? [19:35] rinku_kokiri: but all with media playback with embedded, non-flash video? [19:35] !resetpanels | flowbee [19:35] flowbee: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:35] ~[ arkanabar ]~ ok, what should I place in the Label field [19:35] ActionParsnip:~# flash, avi, you name it [19:35] Quagmire, the label will be deleted when the partition is formatted, so nothing. [19:35] Hello, i switched today from an nividia to an ati gfx card. Now it seems the system cannot find the new card. Looking under Hardware drivers says No property drivers to use. [19:36] Stereocaulon:~# roduct: [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X [19:36] Wow, we have NOT terminals (!terminal) now! Cool ;-) [19:36] ~[ arkanabar ]~ alright uis there there anything else left to do with this window? [19:36] erUSUL, now i have no panels [19:36] amokpaule: Install the fglrx package. [19:36] harvi_svk : nessus 4.2 don't anymore client, it's web based [19:36] amokpaule: did you (re)moved the old /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way? [19:36] rinku_kokiri, Ah, I used to have that one in my old system, happily running Ubuntu 8.10 === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [19:36] flowbee: o.0! [19:37] yeah, it runs fine in 8.10, but my video is borked in that ver [19:37] Quagmire, hit "Apply" -- you should get a warning. [19:37] One more random question: I am trying to use a 10.10 bootable flash drive to reinstall ubuntu, but it keeps failing because the squashfs has bad blocks? [19:37] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Is it just an ADD choice or is there something else [19:37] rinku_kokiri, do you have two sound cards/ chips in one system? [19:37] rinku_kokiri: sounds like a bad driver or a faulty sound board possibly. You my need an option on your sound module as it loads or on the kernel. I tend to steer clear of creative rubbish. Seen too many problesms [19:37] erUSUL, what do i do now [19:37] i have installed the fglrx package and yes my xorg.conf is gone [19:37] Stereocaulon:~# 3 technically, onboard, sb live, video card w/hdmi [19:37] flowbee - try re-botting [19:37] or even re-booting [19:37] ok [19:37] flowbee: alt + f2 - run gnome-panel [19:38] i use the sb live cause it has two outputs and i have jacked speakers (one set is really quiet, one set has a bad channel) [19:38] holmser: did you md5 test the iso you transferred to the device? [19:38] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Create as = Primary Partition ....File Sytem = ext4 .....Label = (nothing) the only thing I see is Add [19:38] rinku_kokiri: did you disable the onboard? [19:38] ActionParsnip, I md5 tested the iso, is there a way to verify the install on the flash drive? [19:38] Quagmire, hit "add" and then hit apply. [19:38] ActionParsnip:~# explain [19:39] @holmser yes [19:39] ~[ arkanabar ]~ There was only Add ...then the window went away [19:39] rinku_kokiri: go into the bios and turn off the onboard soundcard, there will be less confusion for the OS [19:39] rinku_kokiri, sounds like ALSA is having a hard time selecting which card to use for which application. I had this on my previous computer as well. I t took a lot of fiddling about with my alsa.conf to fix it. [19:39] ActionParsnip:~# if you're asking in the bios, no, cause it's not there [19:39] Guest25127, care to explain? [19:39] is it safe to install debian packages on ubuntu? [19:39] ActionParsnip:~# heh.. compaq don't let you do such things [19:39] @holmser, simply go into the flash drive directory and md5 it from there [19:40] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I see Apply All Oerations under the Edit tab [19:40] holmser: when the usb starts to boot, press spacebar and select the test usb consistancy, also test ram [19:40] Stereocaulon:~# so you mean it's trying to use the onboard hw and segfaults? [19:40] thanks ActionParsnip [19:40] Quagmire, that's the one. You'll get a warning, cos that is what is going to wipe out WinXP. You've just been setting up instructions so far. [19:40] rinku_kokiri: have you tried removing the creative and just using the onboard to see if its the card at fault [19:40] rinku_kokiri, right, that maybe the case. [19:40] hi-hi. I want to download hulu [19:40] @gandhijee, I generally do and it hasn't caused me any problems yet though YMMV [19:40] ActionParsnip:~# that is not an option... [19:41] Guest25127: thanks === Tweedle[afk] is now known as Tweedle [19:41] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It is shrinking [19:41] rinku_kokiri: its worth a try to test [19:41] ActionParsnip:~# and i use the creative card in windows just fine [19:41] hi-hi. I want to download a hulu video. 10.04 [19:41] next question, how do i increase the cache limit? [19:41] Quagmire, let it finish, quit out of it, and then run the installer. [19:41] What cache? [19:41] rinku_kokiri: windows has different support and is a completely different OS [19:41] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It is finished and it labeled it sda3 9.84gb [19:41] cache for apt [19:41] rinku_kokiri, Actually ActionParsnip is making a very good point there. Have you tried it? [19:42] ActionParsnip:~# ok.. it works in OLDER versions of ubuntu as well [19:42] ~[ arkanabar ]~ so now what [19:42] i am trying to add debian sid repo to my ubuntu [19:42] gandhijee: not a good idea [19:42] @gandhijee, not sure so I'll keep quiet [19:42] and its yelling at me to increase the Cache-Limit [19:42] gandhijee: it will use as much space as you have partition space [19:42] Quagmire, run the installer. it doesn't get tricky till you get to disk allocation/partitioning. [19:42] Quagmire, let me know when you get there. [19:42] hmm... i need to pull zeromq from debian unstable. whats the best way? [19:42] Alright, when I tried to install without the boot loader (Ubuntu 10.04), it crashes at about the same spot, but with a different error: "Ubiquity crashed with IOerror in remove_extras()" [19:42] My nm-applet disappears several times a day. Running from a terminal reveals that something is sending it sigterm (well, it says signal 15). Can I find out what's sending it the signal and/or is this a known issue? [19:43] ~[ arkanabar ]~ so reboot to get to the installer [19:43] rinku_kokiri: is there a bug logged for this? Have you tried compiling alsa? Do your alsa tools and alsa driver match? [19:43] so i'm to uninstall my working card, to try and use my non-working onboard card ... [19:43] Anyone know how to enable subpixel rendering support in firefox? [19:43] Stereocaulon: I'm using 10.10, and still getting problems while updating or installing drivers, for example now I'm installing drivers, wireless + graphic card, but look I get this error [19:43] gandhijee: mixing debian debs with ubuntu is not advised or supported [19:43] Quagmire, no, if you're running the 10.04 live cd as your OS, there should be an icon in the UL corner of your desktop, "Install Ubuntu" or some such. [19:43] Failed to fetch http://kw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx_8.780-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [19:43] ActionParsnip:~# i ran ubuntu-bug sound [19:43] yes [19:43] gandhijee, Ubuntu and sid can have different directory locations and some packages might differ a bit when it comes to dependencies. Installing debian packages on top of ubuntu packages might break existing Ubuntu packages [19:43] Hello. I'm trying to install ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 (have tried the i386 version also), but i get some errors. Seems to be related to keyboard/mouse so i've tried a couple of USB keyboards and mouses. None work. Errors: "floppy0: floppy timeout called" "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0" "usbhid:4-2:1.1: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint" [19:43] ActionParsnip:~# no i haven't compiled anything, because i didn't know it was an option. [19:43] ~[ arkanabar ]~ got it, doing it [19:44] These errors appear just after it boots to installer and the ubuntu logo appears [19:44] and what about alas tools and driver matching?? [19:44] @ActionParsnip, @gandhijee - yeah, but everyone does it with, usually, no ill effects! [19:44] whats the quickest easiest way to build a deb that i can move then? [19:44] rinku_kokiri: did you run the script from the alsa site to make sure the driver and tools were the same version and at the .23 version? [19:44] i know what i am installing won't break anything thats already one the system [19:44] how do i change runlevels? [19:44] pwnt, could you please repeat the error you get? (if it's longer than one line, please provide a suitable link ta a pastebin) [19:45] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Ok, I'm at the Prepare disk space section [19:45] rinku_kokiri: its outlined in the sound troubleshooting doc in the official docs [19:45] pwnt, ta => to [19:45] !runlevel | mngrif [19:45] mngrif: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [19:45] Quagmire, "Choose partitions manually." [19:45] mngrif: at runtime? [19:45] Stereocaulon: you want the error from driver install, or from apt-get update? [19:45] ActionParsnip:~# you mean wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh [19:45] ? [19:45] erUSUL: while running [19:45] rinku_kokiri: yes [19:45] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=694f18a2e60ee6f5f0c2fde66b8f951da5653f5c [19:45] Hello, my external speakers did not work, but I tweaked with HDA-Analyzer and found that by unmuting two things (in Node[0x0c]) get my external speakers to work. But how can I make this change permanent? [19:45] mngrif: telinit; or init ? [19:45] Because everytime I reboot I have to run HDA-Analyzer and change it again and again. [19:45] pwnt, anything that's relevant to the the malfunction you are experiencing. [19:46] Stereocaulon: Failed to fetch http://kw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx_8.780-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [19:46] need to drop to single user so i can add a drive to my raid, 'init 1' doesn't work as expected... [19:46] Stereocaulon: that while trying to install graphic card [19:46] mngrif: try telinit then [19:46] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I take it that I will be placing the install in the sda1 (ntfs) slot? [19:46] erUSUL: yup that's it. thank you. [19:46] mngrif: ubuntu uses upstart; dunno how well it handles this [19:46] Quagmire, that will be root. Format it ext3, ext4, or whatever you prefer. [19:47] i should hope that the provided mechanism to change runlevels, you know, actually changes runlevels... [19:47] pwnt, that error means that the package it's trying to get is damaged or not in a form that the installer expects it's to be. [19:47] ActionParsnip:~# http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=694f18a2e60ee6f5f0c2fde66b8f951da5653f5c [19:47] Quagmire, you will ALSO select sda3, and set it to /home [19:47] erUSUL, mngrif: AIUI, upstart is still running in init-emulation mode, so runlevels are still implemented. [19:47] Please remember that I sized the XP partition from the empty end of the space, so XP is still listed intact [19:47] Darael: noted [19:47] anyone got prob upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 via that guku-thingy? [19:47] rinku_kokiri: my sound troubleshooting ability is limited as I don't get sound issues. If you search for: alsa ppa unstable ,a guy compiles the 1.0.23 alsa and may have a later build and may fix things, otherwise all I can suggest is compile alsa yourself [19:48] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I need to make sure I understand you exactly [19:48] mngrif: use bum and you can modify boot but runlevel doesn't mean much [19:48] rinku_kokiri: what about linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic ( or maverick ) [19:48] Stereocaulon: then how can I install my grapphic card [19:48] meatbun: I always use the server method [19:49] ActionParsnip, what is the server method? [19:49] i'm having trouble with my Gnome menus, specifically the 'Places' menu. anyone know how i can fix the icons so that they work when i click them? i mean the icons inside the 'Places' menu - Home Folder, Documents, Downloads, etc [19:49] @meatbun have just upgraded two machines from 10.04 to 10.10 - smooth as an android's bottom - Simples! [19:49] Quagmire, if I recall correctly, you select a partition and select "Change" which opens a dialog box [19:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades i am looking at this [19:49] Should I take everyone's silence on my issue to mean that I've gone outside your knowledge base on this one, or did I just miss a response? [19:49] pwnt: run: sudo lshw -C display ,websearch for the product line [19:49] Stereocaulon: what about this error on the 'sudo apt-get update' http://pastebin.com/aKHvWyRv [19:49] that box has options for resizing (we'll skip that) and using the partition, a popup menu. [19:49] @ieri didn't spot your question ... [19:50] @alienmindtrick Can you run Nautalis from terminal? [19:50] when you choose sda1, select "/" as its use, and tick the "format" box, that should enable another popup menu, to let you choose file system [19:50] hello! i have installed ubuntu server, and all seems to work fine. then i edited /etc/sudoers, and apparently make some error there. so i cant sudo anymore:) well, does anyone possibly know of a way to edit the sudoers file, and somehow bypassing having to use "sudo"? my user is in the admin group. unfortunately i didnt set a root passwd in time... [19:50] meatbun: check the link you pasted and scroll down a bit, outside your knowledge? Its editting a text file and running 2 commands, all explained for you. How is that hard? [19:50] ieri: it often takes a while to get a response, i would take your time [19:50] Hello, my external speakers did not work, but I tweaked with HDA-Analyzer and found that by unmuting two things (in Node[0x0c]) get my external speakers to work. But how can I make this change permanent? [19:50] Because everytime I reboot I have to run HDA-Analyzer and change it again and again. [19:50] pirx: boot into recovery mode [19:51] @linuzo i'm not sure what nautilus is [19:51] pwnt, to remedy the last error, just remove the install CD from valid software sources, so Ubuntu will only check online resoureces instead [19:51] Quagmire, when you choose sda3, you'll select "home" in the popup menu, but should not need to format it. [19:51] alienmindtrick: Nautilus is the file manager. [19:51] pirx: you used visudo to edit sudoers? [19:51] Quagmire, also select your linux swap partition, and use it as swap. [19:51] pwnt, sorry about my spelling, my keyboard is a bit glitched... [19:51] erUSUL: i will use visudo from now on:) [19:51] @pirx, if you have physical access to the console, boot into single-user mode which will give you root access [19:51] How can I relabel my flash drive? [19:51] @alienmindtrick nautilus is the filemanager you use in gnome. Try opening terminal and type nautilus [19:51] Guest25127 I've been here for hours working on it, trying to get 10.04 to install on my Dell Dimension 4400 - just tried reinstalling and choosing not to install a boot loader (as the earlier errors talked about ubiquity crashing while configuring the boot loader), and now I get the error: "ubiquity crashed with IOerror in remove_extras()" [19:51] @linuzo OK [19:51] pirx: ok ;P [19:52] I've got a friend who is coming over in just a bit, I'm supposed to help him recover his Ubuntu laptop. His battery died while he was running system update, and now his system completely freezes (totally unresponsive) at the GNOME login screen. I'm wondering if it is possible / common to boot from a Ubuntu install CD, chroot to the hard drive's root folder and re-run aptitude. I'm more of a linux server guy than a desktop linux [19:52] @linuzo done [19:52] the problem, its a mac mini, so i'll have to try to find one of those darn display-port adapters again... [19:52] Stereocaulon: http://pastebin.com/1fYQaqG3 [19:52] alienmindtrick, Did it start or did you get an error? [19:52] @linuzo it started [19:52] Or what is the preferred course of action in this situation. [19:52] no way of doing this without booting into recovery/singleuser? [19:52] keratacon: boot into recovery mode; choose root shell with networking and do the aptitude/apt-get commands from there [19:52] Stereocaulon: don't worry about your spelling, all my installations are not cool right now, nothing is working [19:52] @ieri is 10.04 the only OS you have / want on your Dell? [19:53] I have tried it with 3 different hard drives in the system, and 3 different burnt copies of the CD (in case one, or two, were damaged). I've verified the checksum on the iso I'm burning from. [19:53] keratacon: but yes; a chroot should work too [19:53] erUSUL, what's the procedure for booting into recovery mode? [19:53] hey, how do i get the autobuilder system thing to make i386 packages as well? [19:53] pwnt, so that also means you have no network connectivity yet? [19:53] Guest25127: I have no other OS on it, and I want Ubuntu. I wasn't picky about the version. But I previously had 9.10, and had all sorts of trouble with it, so I was hoping 10.04 would be better. [19:53] how come, I'm speaking to you Stereocaulon [19:53] keratacon: choose the recovery mode netry in grub menu [19:54] My nm-applet (the networking tray^Wnotification area icon) vanishes at seemingly random intervals. Running it from the terminal eventually reveals that it's catching signal 15 (sigterm) from somewhere. What do I do? [19:54] pwnt, true, but you could have used another computer to do that. [19:54] @ieri well, in that case, clearly you need to install a boot loader! [19:54] Stereocaulon: yea, but I'm not. something is wrong, I think its my repositories\ [19:54] Guest25127: Now that I think about it though, you could probably talk me in to just about any linux distro, so long as I could get it to serve media to my PS3, download torrents, and act as a print server for my Samsung ML-2010 [19:55] Going to try fedora and see if i get the same errors [19:55] Stereocaulon: how to take screenshot in ubuntu, I want to show you an image too. [19:55] keratacon, if your friend only has one OS, the grub menu may be hidden. see http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1195275&rct=j&q=%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org%20grub2%20basics&ei=lVXYTPuLN8PPnAeT1enbCQ&usg=AFQjCNHsPsdiLiSfK_ARNS8auvRfO0S4KQ&cad=rja [19:55] pwnt, the last error you pastebined occurs when you have two programs running simultaneously that are using your software installation sources (like Synaptic and Software chooser) [19:55] pwnt: printscreen key should still work, or you could do alt+f2 and enter "gnome-screenshot" (without the quotes) [19:55] Guest25127: Yes, I tried without the boot loader in case that was causing the problems, figuring I'd install the boot loader manually afterwards. However, that apparently wasn't really the cause of the problem, since it's still failing when I install without a boot loader. [19:55] @ieri, trust me, I've seen a fair few distros - Ubuntu is definitely up there rocking with the best of them [19:56] Guest25127: That's what I thought (although I'm having second thoughts after fighting this all day and getting nowhere). [19:56] Guest25127: how so? [19:56] @ieri, if you can, try downloading and trying with 10.10 [19:57] maybe this is related.. a LOT of the time, when i go to the volume control to change, i gotta press mute to get the slider to register and change the volume [19:57] even though it's not muted [19:57] @blakkheim, how so what? [19:57] I'm having some trouble getting 10.1 to boot off USB. I made the image with usb-creator-gtk (on my laptopt) and it boots, but it just freezes at the psalsh screen [19:57] I just started up and none of my windows have any borders or control buttons [19:57] and I can't see any way to get more diagonostics [19:57] Guest25127: how do you believe it's "up there rocking with the best of them" [19:57] where has /boot/grub/stage[12] been moved to? [19:57] Is there a faster site to download it from than ubuntu.com? Firefox is telling me that it's going to take 5 hours and 12 minutes to download 10.10. [19:58] magn3ts, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 -- the Grub 2 Guide [19:58] ieri: torrents [19:58] @blakkheim, well, I've been happily using Ubuntu for years and it's very rarely given me any problems [19:58] ieri, use a torrent like transmission to download instead of direct. [19:58] rinku_kokiri, you are running into an ancient Alsa bug, Alsa is prone to start while muting the master channel. To fix that open up a console and type "alsamixer". If you unmute your master channel and set your desired volume there, it will be remembered, even after a reboot [19:58] blakkheim: I'd love to torrent, but the only working PC I have right now is my work laptop, and they have torrents locked down. :( [19:59] arkanabar, yeah, that's way more than I'm looking for and hasn't (yet) answered my relatively easy question :( thanks though [19:59] sda1 has (ntfs) listed and is 34.6gb in size. It has not been touched at this point. When I made the 10gb space I did it on the empty end of the partition, so XP is still sitting there undisturbed [19:59] Stereocaulon:~# i'm not talking about "alsa mixer starting while muted" [19:59] If I hit an arrow key I get to one of the ttys and it says "failed due to unknown user id (0)" but I have no idea if this is actually a problem or not [19:59] Stereocaulon:~# but ty [19:59] @ieri, pick a german server (if you live in Europe) and just pull it down from that Canonical mirror - much faster than torrents. [19:59] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I had to take a phone call, so I was away for a moment [19:59] magn3ts, it sounds like you're used to grub legacy, which has been deprecated since 10.04 at least. [19:59] ieri: May be marginally better if you don't mind a non-graphical install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:59] rinku_kokiri, np, it sounded awfully familiar. [19:59] lol. My parents are pissed at my bandwidth addiction. === berglund is now known as Berglund [19:59] !info grub | arkanabar [19:59] arkanabar: grub (source: grub): GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy version).

Is there any way to install a complete set of apt-get packages without using apt-get, and then rebuild the system from there? This is a network install, though I do have command line access via console to the VPS. [20:00] I created a key for launchpad with gpg --gen-key but i cannot find the file i give to launchpad, the key appears in seahorse though [20:00] Quagmire, np. how is your installation going? [20:00] Use Arch Linux. [20:00] erUSUL, arkanabar: Recovery mode seems to be crashing after running /scripts/init-bottom. The keyboard has gone unresponsive. [20:00] Or, could I list all packages which were installed/upgraded via the debian repo, and then remove them to restart? [20:00] ~[ arkanabar ]~ well I'm not positive what to do next [20:00] im having problem with my sound, its not working running ubunto 8.10 [20:00] arkanabar: grub legacy is in the ludic repo so isn't depreciated and is supported as it is in the official repo [20:00] keratacon: then go the livecd+chroot route [20:00] Does anyone know how to enable ClearType (subpixel rendering) in Firefox? I've tried looking in about:config, where I found a setting (gfx.use_text_smoothing_setting) but that didn't do anything, and I've looked under System->Preferences->Appearance under the Font tab and, yes, ClearType is enabled and works in all other applications. ClearType was working in Firefox before, but I installed KDE (ala kubuntu-desktop) and all of a sud [20:00] den it stopped working. [20:01] x_or: if you can use dpkg .... [20:01] mitchs: intrepid is no longer supported here dude [20:01] erUSUL: is there a good guide for that? [20:01] doesn't bittorrent automatically verify that files that are downloaded? [20:01] Okay, I found a download that says it'll only take 32 minutes... is softpedia.com reliable? [20:01] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I am waiting for exact directions to make 100% sure I do it right [20:01] x_or: Don't know about listing the ones from the debian repo (you could see if aptitude still works?" but you can remove them with dpkg directly... [20:01] mitchs, that's ancient history, please upgrade [20:01] !chroot [20:01] 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 [20:01] im running backtrack 4 [20:01] @ieri, yes [20:01] mmm [20:01] mitchs: backtrack isn't ubuntu. Backtrack isn't supported here [20:01] replaced alsa w oss.. maybe this is the fix?? [20:02] ~[ arkanabar ]~ sda1 is listed as 34gb with (ntfs) listed af6ter the name [20:02] !backtrack | mitchs [20:02] mitchs: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:02] Good - if anyone else is looking for a quicker download, I suggest sending them there. They seem to have more bandwidth available (which isn't surprising, since ubuntu.com must get a lot more traffic) [20:02] Quagmire, there should be a column "Mount points" or some such. sda1 should show as "/" -- does it? [20:02] ~[ arkanabar ]~ sda3 is beside it and it's 10.6gb [20:02] how to force kill a window, if it doesn't close up [20:02] Darael, erUSUL: I don't see a switch for listing repo in the dpkg man page, can either of you elaborate? [20:02] ieri, maybe you can download via http/ jigdo instead? [20:02] whats the join command? [20:02] ieri: torrents will be faster, downloads from main server as well as peers [20:02] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Nothing is listed under mount point [20:03] @ieri, that's because Ubuntu is so popular that the mirrors are constantly overloaded ;-) [20:03] mitchs: /join #backtrack-linux [20:03] ~[ arkanabar ]~ That's what has me concerned [20:03] Quagmire, pick it from the list and click "Change" -- you should get a popup box. [20:03] Guest25127: use torrents [20:03] stereocaulon: I'm not familiar with jigdo. [20:03] ~[ arkanabar ]~ got that opened, now what [20:04] actionparsnip: I know, but I can't do torrents right now because I'm using my work laptop, and they have those locked down. I'm sure I could get around that restriction, but would rather not endanger my job over it. [20:04] Quagmire, there should be a popup menu, "Use this partition" or some such -- pop it open, and select "/" (without quotes) [20:04] ~[ arkanabar ]~ got edit partition opened [20:04] x_or: dpkg can only work with deb files. it has no notion of repositories. so it would be painfull to work with it [20:04] ieri, jigdo is an alternative to Bittorrent, used primarily to distribute Debian when Torrents are unavailable or unuseable. [20:04] ieri: then wait you must :( [20:04] any noticeable diff between 10.04 and 10.10?

[20:05] * mngrif wonders when IRC turned in to @twitter [20:05] YAY, i'm halfway through the video and it's not breaking yet XD [20:05] @frold, "cd /proc" [20:05] blakkheim, maybe i wait a little longer [20:05] mngrif: 10.04 is more stable imo [20:05] @frold, then "cat cpuinfo" etc. [20:05] Guest25127: torrents more consistant for me but I guess it depends on location [20:05] ieri, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigdo [20:06] ~[ arkanabar ]~ ext4, ext3 ext2 Reiser JFS XFS FAT16 and FAT32 ntfs swap area [20:06] meatbun: lucid is also supported longer [20:06] Quagmire, is that the only popup menu in the dialog box?

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) [20:07] so is gconf-editor user specific?? [20:07] rinku_kokiri: yes [20:07] @pwnt, open a terminal, "ps aux | grep programname", then do a "kill -9 programprocessnumber" [20:07] rinku_kokiri, it is user specific yes [20:07] kk [20:07] ~[ arkanabar ]~ remember me talking about how I made the change to thast partition by going on the right side of the XP partition [20:08] rinku_kokiri: hmm if you logon as a different user, is the sound issue identical? [20:08] XP hasn't been touched at this point [20:08] cause i think i solved it .. replace alsasink with osssink [20:08] ActionParsnip, only reason i am thinking of upgrade is my eth0 is not working correctly [20:08] yeah [20:08] Quagmire, been forever since I had to get rid of windows. If you choose "ext3" or "ext4" does it enable a 2d popup? [20:08] i just installed graphics drivers and now i get a black screen with some words and wont boot into ubuntu.... how do i uninstall the driver if i cant get into the OS? [20:08] This issue seems to come up so much that it belongs in a FAQ http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/kill-process-in-linux-or-terminate-a-process-in-unix-or-linux-systems/ [20:08] rinku_kokiri: sweet, test like crazy then spread the word wherever you have found people with the same issue but with no answer [20:08] ActionParsnip, think the cdrw i used was a bad burn for 10.04 but still installed anyway x( [20:09] Manuel__, that black screen with letters is the OS, just not graphically. [20:09] ActionParsnip:~# like i said, THINK i've solved it.. will wait 24 hrs and see.. :D [20:09] meatbun: there is a checker on the cd to check itself [20:09] Manuel__, what make and model of Video card do you have? [20:09] @meatbun, Ubuntu *just knows* what it wants to be! ;-) [20:09] rinku_kokiri: oh totally. Hope its good :) [20:10] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Ok THAT got me some progress [20:10] well i try to compile printer driver on my pc [20:10] Acer 3820tg with a ATI 4650 hd [20:10] scary [20:10] it ask me to download glib but glib not find on repository what to do ? [20:11] trying to do a fresh install of 10.10, but as soon as I put the CD in and start up, I get an error saying "general error mounting filesystems" [20:11] the md5 of my iso is right, and I had the CD verify when I burnt it [20:11] @azeerrty - try glibc [20:11] user38: did you md5 test the iso you burned? Did you burn slowly? Did youcheck the cd for defects once. First booted to? [20:11] i already upgrade via the network couple times. i think i will skip on this one. Guest19671 ActionParsnip [20:12] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I chose EXT4 and then checked the Format the Partition button and picked / for the mount point [20:12] @azeerrty, actually just do this - sudo apt-get install build-essentials libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0-dev [20:12] Manuel__, in that case you'll want to install the fglx package, just use this on the command-line: sudo apt-get install fglx [20:12] I burnt with nero at 8, and it verified successfully [20:12] 8x * [20:12] and yes, the md5 of my iso is correct [20:12] user38: boot to the cd. Where you see the stickman, press space and check the cd for defects there [20:12] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I assume I have things ready to begin the format of the 34gb XP partition? [20:12] @azeerrty, it's listed under libglib in the repositories [20:13] I didn't see a stickman [20:13] Manuel__, I have a ati 4650, works perfect, out of the box.. and also with fglrx [20:13] I saw the ubuntu logo and then it dropped to a shell with "general error mounting filesystems" [20:13] Stereocaulon>when i didnt install the drivers it was booting fine. When i DID install the drivers, that's when it had gone wrong.... i think i want to uninstall them [20:13] user38: then test your ram, basically as soon as the cd starts to boot, press space [20:13] ok, trying that [20:13] duffydack> so how do i uninstall the driver? [20:13] Manuel__, in that case, type: sudo apt-get remove fglx [20:14] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I knocked that out, now what is the next part I need to do [20:14] user38: +1 for memory test [20:14] Stereocaulon>i cant get into ubuntu..... [20:14] Stereocaulon>i get stuck on the post screen with some postscreen info [20:14] Manuel__, you are already in Ubuntu, just not the graphical shell, that's called X (and GNOME running on to of that) [20:15] Stereocaulon>i cant type anything [20:15] Manuel__, sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx [20:15] Manuel__, in that case, what are the last words that *do* show up on the screen? [20:15] My nm-applet keeps vanishing. I ran it from the terminal, and discovered that something is sending signal 15 (that's sigterm, I think) - how can I stop it? Should I just move to wicd instead of network-manager and have done with it? [20:15] Manuel__: if your system fails post it sounds like a hardware issue [20:15] Quagmire, you also need to select the 10gb partition, and set it up to use as /home [20:16] Manuel__, boot to safe mode and drop to a cli prompt. [20:16] darael: wicd is sweeeet [20:16] hi could you tel how to configure vino server (defaut remote control in ubuntu) to accept remote control from internet ? [20:17] ActionParsnip: I know, I would have moved before but I figured it was generally a good idea to stick with nm as long as it worked. Or something. [20:17] it works fine in my lan but cant find how to congure the port in the server [20:17] intick, just go to System => Preferences, Remote Desktop and enable remote access there [20:18] Stereocaulon>just tried to boot in recover mode and then it goes to boot screen or cmd prompt.... not sure what it is called and the last line is "manuel-Aspire-3820 login:" [20:18] does anyone here have the iptables tarpit running in 10.10? [20:19] Manuel__, it sounds like you have a keyboard malfunction, does hitting NumLock switch the status of your NumLock led? [20:19] Stereocaulon: thx i remember i've already gone to this long time ago :D thx anyway you helped me ;) [20:19] intick, np, glad to help :-) [20:20] lol its not a keyboard malfunction [20:20] Stereocaulon: but we cant configure a port there .. i'll test from internet [20:20] installed ubuntu maverick, cloned and one of the clones booted a couple times and then it wont boot, it says "no init found" how may I fix this? thanks! === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [20:20] intick, the standard port is 5900 [20:20] Stereocaulon: with VNC i had to put my ports (aleady forwarded on my router) [20:21] i just told you i installed gfx drivers and now it wont boot into ubuntu.... how do i uinstall the drivers when i cant get into the OS [20:21] Stereocaulon: yep i used 5905 for comp 192.168.1.5 ect .. what if i have many computers to be controled from internet ? [20:22] Manuel__, the "boot prompt" you get, is actually a login prompt from Ubuntu, if you can't type anything there, I have hard time not thinking of a keyboard malfunction. [20:22] i'm looking for a tool that will let me script a flash application running within firefox. any ideas? [20:23] i typed in my password and it just keeps asking for it over and over again [20:23] intick, some routers allow a port forward between LAN and WAN with different NAT-translation, like LAN:WAN 5900(192.168.1.15):5905 [20:23] well i just used the recovery mode and low graphics option to get into ubuntu.... ill be uinstalling the drivers now [20:23] Manuel__, so you *can* type your username, but it won't accept your password...ah, that's it. [20:23] Stereocaulon: kk i'll give it a try [20:24] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Have you returned yet? [20:25] Quagmire, yes I have. How's it going? [20:25] it says login: so i thought i had to type in my pw wtf [20:25] who designs this crap lol [20:25] hello...i want to update my system ,i actually run linux mint isadora...but i keep getting the "broken package" error...and there doesn't seem to be any broken packages,i checked on synaptic and all [20:25] Manuel__ you need to type in your username and then your password [20:25] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I want to make sure I pick the right choice. [20:25] how come System Monitor shows my CPU reaching 100% everytime I start my web browser and/or load a web page from that browser? is this normal? [20:25] snail> oh lol [20:25] Manuel__, snail hit the nail on the head there [20:25] Manuel__ you also need to be aware that the language setting for the console may be different to that within X [20:26] you need to be more eloquent in giving answers [20:26] Under Use As ....can I also choose the same ext4 as the root went in? [20:26] hi, I wondered whether anyone could help me with my acer travelmate 8372tg. It has an integrated intel graphics card and a nvidia dedicated card. I do not use the nvidia but the intel. However I am not able to switch to a console with ctrl+alt+f1. It just displays the frozen x screen without the mouse cursor. switching back to x does work though. Do you have any suggestions how I can switch to the console? [20:26] @siddhion, don't worry about it [20:26] siddhion, that's not normal, unless you are using an extremely weak configuration [20:26] a === dougsko is now known as dougsko_ [20:26] name ivo [20:26] , snail> well i got into ubuntu through recovery mode with low graphics mode and i uinstalled the ati prprietary drivers. thanks for the help === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko === root is now known as Guest18630 [20:26] Quagmire, the list should show sda1 with mount point / and sda3 with mount point /home -- does it? [20:26] ~[ arkanabar ]~ There are only two ext's slots one is 4 and one is 3 ...both of them are already being used [20:26] "network connections" does not tell me y IP address. What will? [20:27] Well No segfault, but problem still exists [20:27] tripelb: "ifconfig" [20:27] Stereocaulon, ok, what configuration are you talking about? and how do i make it strong? [20:27] is there something int apt that does what `yum provides */bin/sendmail` would do? [20:27] o ty [20:27] @tripelb, ifconfig [20:27] Manuel__, I can only be "eloquent" if you give me a full description of the problem you are having. [20:27] how do i change resolution? [20:27] lol [20:27] Guest25127, i worry because everytime CPU reaches 100% my fan spins louder and faster [20:28] Hi. I seem to be getting "sh: env: Permission denied" a lot here, anyone here knows how to fix? [20:28] ~[ arkanabar ]~ No I will need to pick something under "Use As" before I can get to the choice of making a Mount point [20:28] I keep getting these type of errors whenever I try to install stuff, :( . http://pastebin.com/j59tgnik [20:28] hi all, i removed openjdk, installed the version from java.com, but now when i verify it, it doesn't recognize it [20:28] @siddhion, that's what the fan's there for ;-) [20:28] so my inet address under eth0 is my IP address? [20:28] ~[ arkanabar ]~ Does it make sense what I'm saying? [20:29] so my inet address under eth0 is my IP address? snail Guest19671 [20:29] kxsteve: dpkg --search (I don' know yum, so that may not be right, but it seems likely) [20:29] @tripelb, each of your interfaces will have a separate IP address [20:29] Quagmire, ok. pick sda1 ... for "use as" ext3 or ext4 is fine. either works great. ext3 is much more mature, ext4 has support for files bigger than your entire HD. [20:29] tripelb: indeed [20:29] siddhion, With "weak configuration" I mean a system that is not designed to run the browser you are using. I.e if you would try to run Firefox 3.6 on a Pentium 3 450, it will take ages to start, beacuse it's constantly swapping due to lack of memory and CPU power [20:29] hello. something happened with cd rom its not anymore working. in /media/ ls /media$ ls floppy floppy0 lost.s02e9-10RUS NEW [20:29] pwnt, try changing your repository [20:29] Stereocaulon:~# well i replaced alsasink with osssink in gconf-editor.. it *worked* for about 30 mins.. (three youtube videos) before breaking this time [20:29] each of my interfaces? huh. I am ethernet to modem. [20:29] Darael: `yum provides */bin/sendmail` will show which package contains */bin/sendmail [20:29] * blueghost test [20:30] @tripelb, so, e.g., eth0 will have one IP address, whereas wlan0 will have a different one etc. [20:30] linuzo: yes, thats exactly what I need, i'm pretty new can you assist me with this please [20:30] Quagmire, once you've selected the file system type, select the mount point, which you want to be / [20:30] Stereocaulon:~# thinking i'm either going to go back to a version of ubuntu that WORKS or back to Windows [20:30] kxsteve: Then you either want dpkg --search or apt-file (you'll need to install the latter) - the latter will give the package even if it's not installed. [20:30] Hi, I installed the proprietary Java, I now have a jre folder in my home folder, what else do i have to do? [20:30] kxsteve: dpkg -S /path/to/file [20:30] pwnt, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [20:30] @tripelb, ethernet to modem? Do you mean ADSL modem? [20:30] * rinku_kokiri wishes things just worked like they say they do on the website [20:30] Stereocaulon, I see. I am using the latest Chromium build so I assume that is ok. Right? [20:30] rinku_kokiri, it sounds like the SBLive! driver is not working properly. [20:30] once you have done that with sda1, do it again with sda3, only the mount point should be /home [20:31] kxsteve: or install apt-file and then run sudo apt-file update to search for files in uninstalled packages. [20:31] Stereocaulon:~# i'm wondering if i switch over to the other card, if it'll happen as well [20:31] greetzfromme, have you just downloaded it off the java website? or extracted into your homefolder? [20:31] linuzo: I went there after i installed ubuntu and thats why I am where I'm right now :( [20:31] ~[ arkanabar ]~ So make the other one sda3 as /home? right? [20:31] think i messed up [20:31] @tripelb, if you mean the latter (i.e., ADSL modem), you need to login to your ADSL modem / router and find out what the WAN IP address is set to [20:31] Quagmire, yes. btw, is there an sda2 in the list, anywhere at all? [20:31] join #freiburg [20:32] rinku_kokiri, It just depends how well that other soundcard is supported in the Linux kernel version you are using. [20:32] Brad_PJ, it's extracted in my home folder [20:32] greetzfrommer, what browser are you using? you have to make a symbollic link from the java plugin to your brower === ng_ is now known as NG_ [20:32] greetzfromme* [20:33] ~[ arkanabar ]~ No I see no mention of sda2 [20:33] Brad_PJ, chrome [20:33] Okay, this one's new: Input/Output Error During write on /dev/sda - got that right after I told the installer how to partition the drives. I hit cancel, but the installer seems to be continuing (I assumed cancel would abort the install) [20:33] Brad_PJ, chrome and chromium actually === 52AACKI94 is now known as GeekyAdam [20:33] Quagmire, cool. once you have sda1 and sda3 set up, move forward with the install. [20:33] goodmorning vietnam [20:33] I just really hate to do it this way, cause it's either too quiet (small speakers) or only one channel (broken speakers) [20:33] Or maybe it's not continuing, it looks like it's just hanging there at 5%. [20:34] alright, i'll set it up for chromium for now, not sure with chrome [20:34] in terminal, navigate to /usr/lib/chromium/plugins [20:34] hold on [20:34] can anyone tell me how to scan windows for virus/spyware from linux installed with wubi? [20:35] figueroa, just do a scan using ClamAV on the drive containing Windows [20:35] but it doesnt show the drive in mycomputer [20:36] Brad_PJ, let's pm? [20:36] Stereocaulon, figueroa: It can be a little more complex with WUBI. [20:36] Darael, any advice? [20:36] haha sure [20:36] Stereocaulon, you said my CPU going to 100% is not normal if I am using a proper browser which I am so do you have any other idea why this is happening? [20:36] Darael, ok, I didn't know that, not familiar with wubi [20:36] im trying to not have to reinstall windows [20:36] not sure how to, haven't used irc in ages :) [20:36] ieri: Does that input/output error mean I have a bad hard drive? [20:36] Hi. I seem to be getting "sh: env: Permission denied" a lot here, anyone here knows how to fix? /usr/bin/env exists(644), but how do I even know if that's the one that's fuzzing?? [20:36] figueroa: If you run "mount" in a terminal (without the quotes), it should show you what device the image containing WUBI is on. [20:36] (oops, didn't mean to talk to myself) [20:36] Slartibart: /usb/bin/env should be mode 755 [20:36] Darael, then? [20:37] Slartibart: that is, executable [20:37] siddhion, what CPU do you have and how much RAM memory do you have? [20:37] figueroa: Once you have that, you can mount the parent device, which is also the Windows drive. [20:37] Stereocaulon: "RAM memory"? random access memory memory? === w1zkid is now known as Nielson [20:37] siddhion:~# and what's consuming the most memory if you issue the 'top' command [20:38] Darael, i thought u couldnt scan windows if linux was installed with wubi? [20:38] blakkheim, yes, I mean RAM as in Random Access Memory, why? [20:38] siddhion:~# s/memory/cpu/ [20:38] timo: Thanks! Suspect the harddisk trouble I had before is the cause of this, so is there a package or something that I should reinstall to fix this? Or is chmod the way to go? [20:38] figueroa: That would be done by (eg) "sudo mount /dev/sd /mnt" (/mnt being as good a temporary mount point as any) and then use clam to scan it. Just make sure it excludes the image used for Ubuntu's root. [20:38] Quagmire, let me know when your installation is finished & you have booted into 10.04 from the hard disk. [20:38] kthx [20:38] figueroa: Should be fine, as long as it doesn't try to scan the Wubi disk image. [20:38] Slartibart: chmod is fine, unless you suspect the file (or other files, too) is damaged [20:38] Stereocaulon: saying "ram memory" is redundant [20:38] thank you thank you [20:39] random access memory memory [20:39] like the master card card [20:39] Slartibart: reinstalling coreutils should fix the env binary [20:39] or the two girls one cup cup [20:39] clear [20:39] blakkheim, yes it is redundant, but some people still think that HDD's belong to "memory" as well. [20:39] Stereocaulon, Intel Core 2 Duo T6400, 4gig sdram [20:39] how to check which libgettextlib i have from terminal? [20:40] i can't get apache to display php rather than offer it for download, can anyone help? [20:40] timo: "bash: /usr/bin/env: can't run binary file" =[. Reinstall next. Big thanks again! [20:40] Stereocaulon: so correct them instead of carrying on the wrong terms [20:40] Slartibart: np === help is now known as Guest15023 [20:41] Stereocaulon:~# blakkheim i know people that think the hard drive is the tower [20:41] blakkheim, there is also ROM [20:41] you mean you're going to take the whole hard drive? [20:41] lol [20:41] @Stereocaulon, terms such as "ramdisk" probably didn't help the confusion ... [20:41] or ramdrive [20:41] rinku_kokiri, yes, well, if your computer is heavy, it can indeed be a "hard drive" to get your computer from A to B :-P [20:41] yeah i got a 4 gig portable ramdrive [20:42] lol [20:42] My "SO" constantly confuses RAM with HDD ... :-D [20:43] rinku_kokiri, top shows that npviewer.bin is taking up 16% of the CPU, what is npviewer.bin and is it necessary? [20:43] and when you ask if they need more memory, they get offended... xD [20:43] I just noticed that these ISO files are more than 700 meg (according to windows explorer anyway) - but my CDs say they're 700 megs... could I be getting bad CDs due to overburning?

[20:44] ^^ ain't that always the case though ;) [20:45] .. well, it'd help if some of my Mac-using friends had worked out that their Mac hasn't "died" - it's simply that they've opened 19 simultaneous sessions of PhotoShop without having bothered to close any and then wonder why their Mac's ground to a halt as it's desperately thrashing the HDD searching for swap space ... :-D [20:45] rinku_kokiri I think you were responding to someone else, not me. I was asking about ISO file sizes being over 700 meg, and whether that would cause problems burning to a 700 meg CD. [20:45] rinku_kokiri, sigh, Adobe Flash...yawn. By the time they have a good working Flash plugin for linux, Flash will aready be obsolete. [20:45] ~[ arkanabar ]~ I'm closing in on the finish of the install [20:45] Stereocaulon: Flash isn't obsolete?

I cleared my firefox cache can anyone point me in the right direction? [20:46] ~[ arkanabar ]~ It asked if I want to use the info from 9.04, so that made me smile [20:46] Quagmire, cool. you do, btw. let me know when you've booted into it. [20:46] you're about to learn to use fstab. === hamid is now known as Guest75221 [20:47] @ss0, I think you need to start with the Apache docs [20:47] Ah, if I install libnotify-bin, I get a program "notify-send" which can be used to send messages. [20:47] Guest19671, yes those Mac users who generally have too much money and not enough time to read even a single sheet of A4 paper before turing on their computer... I work at a helpdesk, so I have a hard time explaining those Mac Zealots that Apple can also make a programming error in Apple Mail and that our servers are not at fault... [20:48] rinku_kokiri, Flash player plugin for Firefox?! I can;t beleive it is still running. Only my wife uses firefox. Ugg! [20:48] siddhion:~# 64 bit?

[20:49] siddhion:~# flash is ALWAYS a problem [20:49] Guest25127: Thanks for the suggestion the problem is it appears to be enabled according to the apache docs, it's loaded, all the files are in place but it's still not working.

[20:50] siddhion, because I like my Fiefox-specific plugins... [20:50] rinku_kokiri, yes in more ways than one as I have jsut found out tonight. [20:50] Anyone can tell me if the type of partition use in a drive will affect the speed of transfer on a USB drive ?

I am quite used to all the keyboard shortcuts in FF right now, I hardly ever use my mouse anymore. [20:54] Quagmire, good luck. I must be on my way.

Are you a front end developer? I ask because you brought up the factor of Chrome not being able to display all websites prooperly [20:56] siddhion, No I am a helpdesk agent. [20:57] Stereocaulon, ok [20:57] Stereocaulon, rinku_kokiri thanks again :) [20:57] :) [20:57] siddhion, still if Chromium does recognize Shift-JIS pages flawlessly, I might use it more often. Firefox is incredibly bad at that. [20:58] Does anybody know of a way I can suck up the global address list from our exchange server and add it to thunderbird? [20:58] Stereocaulon, plus Chrome is faster [20:58] I just gave up chrome yesterday for firefox :( [20:58] anyone have a suggestion as to why I can't su to a new system user I created? [20:59] @Roasted_, send out a mass email and ask them all to reply back to you? [20:59] it can be such a brat with web site designing [20:59] I can su from ubuntu to root and vis versa [20:59] Guest25127, lol, I thought about that. Was hoping for a more practical way :P [20:59] :-D [20:59] siddhion, true, but Firefox used to be very fast as well, before FF became mainstream and tried to display each page properly [20:59] Stereocaulon, i never knew what shift jis was till now. interesting. [21:00] siddhion, Shift-JIS is a text mode for Japanese. I visit lots of Japanese sites [21:00] Stereocaulon, hmm. Chrome usually does a good job. whats the % of pages that dont load properly in Chrome? [21:00] siddhion, Stereocaulon:~# firefox is faster than opera now a days [21:00] hi all, i set gnome-panel hide on, but sometime after it goes up it doesn't go down, there is any solution? (usually i kill the panel) [21:01] Does anyone have any insight into the GLib Warning: getpwuid_r() problem I am having at boot up? [21:01] rinku_kokiri, true, but Opera is the best when it comes to CSS/w3c-compliancy [21:01] @Roasted_, more seriously, though I'm not familiar with exchange, first thing I'd do is check what formats you can export its data in and what formats Thunderbird can import them in - though you may need to use an intermediate format. [21:01] rinku_kokiri, really. i guess that is good to know. never thought much about which one of those were faster although Opera had some speed test videos recently i think showing how fast it was. [21:01] Guest25127, its not even about using the exchange address list as real time - I just want a way to copy it and suck it up into my own little address book even. [21:01] try this one... firefox still doesn't know how to render this one right http://www.fossilizedcustoms.com/articles.html [21:02] opera works good on it though [21:02] siddhion:~# i mean overall first load time [21:02] opera hangs for 35+ secs while firefox is already open and on pages [21:02] @Roasted_, yeah, I guessed that.

[21:03] rinku_kokiri, oh i see. well if we are talking first load time, Chrome(ium) is by far the fastest [21:03] compile firefox with better cflags and some stuff disabled, and it will open much faster [21:03] sorry, i have to go anyways guntbert later!

[21:06] I have a dumb question. How is it when I use google calendar via through firefox, Ubuntu still notifies me when something is coming up? I just don't see how they're communicating to allow the notifications to come down to my actual desktop OS level. [21:06] no [21:07] ... [21:07] i use my desktop, i don't stare at shinies [21:07] lol [21:07] steev, ++ [21:07] steev: download Compiz Fusion Icon and click reser. sooo much easier when you want them back quick [21:07] I only use compiz for compositing.

[21:08] Ive tried adjusting so many settting... does the same thing whether or not I print to file or on paper as well === phw_ is now known as phw [21:09] @Roasted_, a cool thing I only noticed the other day was that if you have a window open displaying the contents of a directory but then rename the directory itself (outside of the window obviously), the directory name in the open window's title bar changes automatically - very cool! [21:09] ~[ Stereocaulon ]~ Yes I believe I do [21:09] oh? [21:09] suprengr: i don't see any reset option [21:09] @Guest25127 Cool, I didnt notice that. [21:10] steev: all downloaded & ctarted and showing in panel ok? [21:10] dumb question time: vncviewer and skype screen share, etc, all show black screens whenever I attempt to use them on a desktop which is running compiz. is there any way of combining desktop effects with screen share software or do I always have to drop down to metacity when I want to do sharing? [21:10] ~[ Stereocaulon ]~ Yes It's over on another partition [21:10] I just finished setting up a hostname in ubuntu and trying to login through putty using that hostname but keeps outputting host not found yet on the box I can ssh with the hostname, what could be the problem? [21:10] hi all, I lost my bottom panel, how do I get it back? [21:11] hi all, i set gnome-panel hide on, but sometime after it goes up it doesn't go down, there is any solution? (usually i kill the panel) [21:11] Quagmire, in that case, just point the ubuntu installer to mount your present /home partition as /home. So, let's say, if /home used to be sda2, it should be sda2 as well in the installer. [21:11] does anyone know how could I verbose the Snort daemon? [21:11] lost the bottom panel on the desktop [21:11] How can I change the system language? [21:11] ~[ Stereocaulon ]~ Hmmm what is the easiest way to look for that info [21:11] Quagmire, just be sure to have a "no" in the column that asks if you want the installer to format it. [21:11] GIYF. [21:12] And here too I guess. lol [21:12] suprengr: Stereocaulon: http://steev.net/files/screenshots/border.png ; look at the close/minimize/maximize buttons [21:12] Well I have the new OS installed [21:12] all of that is finished [21:12] hex0, System > Administration > Language support [21:12] Quagmire, ah, so you did not mount it at boot time...Hmm. [21:12] Could anyone take a look at my /etc/init.d/snort : http://pastebin.com/JxBqEp2P [21:12] amarcolino: you have to tell your windows machine where it can find your ubuntu machine too [21:12] I was thinking arkanabar was going to use fstab to point to the old one, but that is just what I thought. [21:13] linuzo: do you know how can I get my bottom panel back? [21:13] shirish: do you still have the top panel?

[21:14] Quagmire, if you still know how much you have allocated to the /home partition and if that size is not the same as another partition, it should be easy to see which partition used to be mounted as /home [21:14] guybrush [21:14] yep.. just right click.. there will be a button to add new panel [21:14] linuzo: thank you. [21:14] guntbert: huh can you explain that, you mean use the internal ip with the hostname? [21:14] in properties.. you can change it to show in the bottom [21:14] shirish, np [21:14] cyanid [21:14] linuzo: now I have the panel but how do I get the program statuses on the bottom panel. [21:14] linuzo: now I have the panel but how do I get the program statuses on the bottom panel ?

[21:16] i wana open block site [21:16] night, in firefox? [21:16] steev: use synaptic.. it's there ... download it.. start it (it'll be a menu item under Applications (system tools). right click the icon in panel and choose reset..... or try restarting 'X' if that is to much bother. [21:16] yes [21:16] Night, click I understand the risk, then add exception [21:16] amarcolino: to get it right: you have a windows machine (say "mywin" at 192.168.0.10) and an ubuntu machine ("myubuntu" at 192.168.0.20) -- now ssh myubuntu from the ubuntu machine will work, but you must tell the windows machine that "myubuntu" is at 192.168.0.10 [21:17] how [21:17] suprengr: i got it, i just went in with gconf-editor and changed the buttons under apps/metacity [21:17] shcherbak: i am assuming it's the second option resolving hostname, however, how do I go about solving it [21:17] linuzo: thank you once again.

That however randomly fails to work on boot. Any ideas ? [21:18] blocked site like porn site as example [21:18] blakkheim: that is the best one? [21:18] shirish: yes [21:19] blakkheim: thank you then, ntfs-3g it is. [21:19] mbeierl with me [21:19] shcherbak: I can do it that way was hoping to be able to use the hostname instead, never have managed to get that working [21:19] night, I dont know your configuration.. [21:19] amarcolino: have you set sshd (server) and have you set (permit) firewall for ssh server in linux box?

I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to play videos; I have an mp4, for instance, that no matter whether I open it with Movie Player, GNOME MPlayer, or Firefox, it opens the file and then closes it immediately again without playing it. [22:11] mbroeker, wow thanks... works fine [22:12] linuzo: there is no NetworkManager in init.d [22:12] How can I create a user with only Read Only access to the folder i set as his home [22:12] does JACK connect to ALSA? so i can then stream ALSA's hw:0,0 while DJ'ing with a Jack program? [22:12] Yerushamlmi: mp4 is audio, and one needs appropriate ffmeg package for it [22:12] linuzo: i said upstart [22:12] latenite, the first thing i do after an upgrade or installation of ubuntu: Insert Original DVds and check whether they play or not :) [22:12] corecode, why not just remove it [22:12] rusivi: Where do I get it from? [22:12] linuzo: because i just want to disable it [22:13] Yerushalmi, mp4 is video too. [22:13] I just installed lucid and system preferences and administration is missing in menu under system??

[22:21] ~[ giiker ]~ I probably can, but I'm not sure how to go about that [22:22] I have gparted installed and running [22:22] Quagmire: you can copy it to your new partition then with Gparted [22:22] but I think my 9.04 info is mixed in with my entire 9.04 system [22:23] Quagmire: what a re u refferring by info?

Can someone sugest a program that is capable of doing that ? Thanks =D [22:24] ~[ giiker ]~ I swear I am not being coy by choice, but I truly don't know what the right answer is. I'm just not sure what the proper choice really should be [22:25] Of course I want my files [22:25] but beyond that I'm not sure what makes sense to bring or not. customization maybe silly to bring [22:25] Hello, kind of new to Ubuntu here. I use my laptop on a college campus, and while wifi is available over the entire campus, the connection sometimes gets lost. Is there any way to automatically reconnect? [22:25] captkirk, how can i determine the my data is encrypted in wireshark [22:25] ? [22:25] Quagmire:/quit [22:26] Shwaiil, you need cdrtools if you want bootable cd [22:26] Anyone know where to look? [22:26] that's helpful. [rolling eyes] [22:26] Good afternoon, folks [22:26] Shwaiil, https://jeremy.visser.name/2008/07/12/slipstreaming-windows-xp-with-service-pack-3-in-linux/ [22:26] Quagmire: sorry, had to logut to get into another shell [22:26] Quagmire: try to rad thi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [22:27] does anyone know where/how i can find out whether my touchscreen device is compatible with ubuntu [22:27] Quagmire: try to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [22:27] ~[ giiker ]~ Thank you, I will dive into it [22:27] how do i grant multiple groups access to a dir? [22:27] sweb: well generate some traffic that would normally be in clear text (http requests) and then check to see if you can find them in your wireshark logs =D [22:28] goltoof: man chown [22:28] Quagmire: NP : [22:28] mbroeker, drizzt_ thanks for looking! the directory I have of win xp, is the full win xp. I can burn it to a cd-r, but I didnt want too :T I tought I could just create a image and then mount it on the virtualbox (I'm new to this ). [22:28] captkirk, if my data will appear look likse bashe64 data in bottom panel of Wireshark, my data is encrypted ? [22:29] captkirk, base64* [22:29] Shwaiil, create the iso and don't burn it. problem solved... [22:29] Shwaiil, you generate iso file and mount it [22:29] ~[ giiker ]~ THe guy who was helping me earlier today suggested using fstab. Do you think htat's the better choice? [22:29] mbroeker, currenlty reading the article [22:30] Shwaiil: What your looking to do is to create a HAL-independent OS clone. [22:30] Shwaiil, virtualbox can boot from isos [22:30] Quagmire: yes, I always use fstab! it works all the time, [22:30] Quagmire: I would use fstab over any other method, but that's just me === GeekyAdam is now known as GeekyAdam|AFK [22:30] Shwaiil, don't forget to create unattended install file [22:30] syn-ack, obvious, but an example? ie sudo chown -R goltoof /var/www .... that's one user but what about multiple? [22:30] mbroeker, yup thats what I want to do. I guess the program for that is cdrkit ? [22:31] hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find the DVB.pm perl file? [22:31] my questions is basicly asking the name of a program on ubuntu that I can do that =) [22:31] sweb: if I understand what you mean, yeah [22:31] guys is it true that ubuntu is moving away from desktop and focusing on tablets and smartphones? [22:31] Hey, both Ubuntu and Windows can access FAT file systems, correct? [22:31] humm seems that I alerady have a program for that, genisoimage [22:32] Kurdistan, I doubt ubuntu will move from desktop versions [22:32] ~[ giiker ]~ I'm also confused on why the guy who was helping me had me make an small 10gb partition... do you think htat had anything to do with moving my files over or was that about creating a swap area? [22:32] brian_ yes [22:32] Kurdistan, just branching out [22:32] Kurdistan: Even if Ubuntu focuses on smartphones and other such things, I doubt they would abandon their desktop line of the OS [22:32] Shwaiil, the blog uses genisoimage, but if you are more familiar with another image generator, use it [22:32] Seeing as it is the most awesome OS ever :P [22:32] when I plug my second monitor into my laptop, I can expand the desktop, but when I disconnect it again, the desktop is still expanded, even after rebooting (when I have saved xorg.conf) - is it possible to only expand the desktop whenever a second monitor is plugged in, like Windows does? (I am using the Nvidia driver) [22:32] I hope so. Becuase buntu is the best linux desktop os. [22:32] Quagmire: Quagmire to big to be a swap, he probably wanted to copy your data to that 10 GB aprtition [22:33] ~[ giiker ]~ It stinks when someone is helping and then they have to go and you aren't sure about all the things that person had you do. [22:33] frxstrem: I have a similar issue [22:33] but then we have the father of all good, debian out there and linuxmint. === dave is now known as Guest38175 [22:33] I find that if I hit System -> Preferences -> Monitors it checks all the monitors again [22:33] so it sounds like I need to pull that data into that paretition? [22:33] and fixes everything [22:33] Kurdistan: I believe we all agree with you but this is off topic [22:33] So if you could make it do that, then you'd be able to automate it === GeekyAdam|AFK is now known as GeekyAdam [22:34] as a matter of fact he had me set up the large artition as / and the 10gb partition as /home [22:34] Quagmire: you can just mount the old partition with your old data, don't need to copy it to another partition [22:34] update manager offers me 8.10 upgrade but when I accept it, it says that cannot find release notes,why? [22:34] brian_: well, I haven't tried that, but I use a custom driver that the built-in preferences does not support, so it just redirects me to the Nvidia configuration, which doesn't seem to have the same effect [22:34] 8.10 upgrade? [22:34] Ooh [22:35] My driver was supported by default [22:35] drizzt_: which version are you currently running? [22:35] drizzt_: 8.10is not supported any more [22:35] syn-ack, any way to know? [22:35] Anyone, following the 10.10 automatic update from a couple of days ago, my laptop is running the fans more as the CPU load has increased to over 50%.

[22:37] 100GB? 200GB? [22:37] drizzt_: the easiest way for you to upgrade at this point is to grab a 10.04 image and upgrade from it === michael is now known as Guest65102 [22:37] is there an alternative to Kontact?

[22:38] Tweedle: And typing into Terminal "vlc " gives me two lines of output: VLC media player 1.0.6 Goldeneye, and then Segmentation fault. [22:38] zvacet: Good point [22:38] Yerushalmi, terminal 'vlc' [22:38] trojan_spike: Same output. [22:38] Yerushalmi: Interesting. You familiar with strace? [22:38] Quagmire: wait a sec, someone just called me on the phone [22:38] KB1JWQ: Never heard of it. [22:38] zvacet: I generally space the fact that the standard doesnt support that since I always use the alternate CD [22:38] how can I chhose 10.4 instead of 8.10? [22:38] I'm trying genisoimage -o cd.iso home/download/win_xp_files_here/ [22:38] ~[ giiker ]~ sure thing [22:38] but says there's no such dir :T [22:39] can anyone helpme figure out how to stop the display from flickering?
