[00:00] i downloaded a file from code.google.com and package din have ./configure how can i install tad file ? [00:00] pidgin don't need that [00:00] hiexpo: I got it from here: http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/ [00:00] this is a link to the script [00:00] http://pastebin.com/eSxAD5xf [00:00] Anybody with Jack experience in Ubuntu studio? [00:00] when i use `time` with -a I get `-a: command not found`, what is wrong? [00:01] I suggest taking a look at lin 114 [00:01] that's the one that gives me errors [00:01] I even try running it from the taskbar in gnome [00:01] Applications -> Games -> Game Conqueror [00:01] it still doesn't work [00:01] I tried both making scanmem with gameconqueror, and installing, and also installing from two ubuntu .deb packages [00:02] hi guys...hoping you can help, apt isn't working for me...it keeps getting stuck at "waiting for headers" no matter what I try (apt-get update was the last attempt) yet the repo in my sources.list is pinging fine [00:02] gameconqueror_0.12-1~svn20100926-0ubuntu1_all.deb [00:02] paddy_: the argument time takes will be executed and time, among other things, measures how much time it took to run it. [00:02] hiexpo: I got it from here: http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/ [00:02] this is a link to the script itself: http://pastebin.com/eSxAD5xf [00:02] paddy_: so 'time -a' will end up in time trying to execute -a [00:02] is there a JAck audio interface channel? [00:03] VirusTB: tar -zxvf nameof.tar.gz only listed the files in it [00:03] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, but -a is an command line option for time [00:03] shiftingcontrol, depends on the type of build system it uses. What's the package? [00:03] is ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org && hwclock -w a reliable way of setting the date and time? [00:03] Cmdr_W_T_Riker, see man time [00:03] how to insall it ? [00:03] does it account for switching from daylight savings to standard since it was switched? [00:03] lynx--_, ok i am looking at it > one sec [00:03] Where can I get help with Jack Audio system? [00:04] Is there a program that automatically sets ALSA to record from what is being played? [00:04] I can do it manually, but is there a way to set it to do it by default [00:04] like TotalRecorder [00:04] paddy_: hmm you're right :-) i don't know what's happening there. [00:04] WACOMalt, Try #jack [00:05] gaveen:think it is using cmake not make,http://code.google.com/p/speedcrunch [00:05] shiftingcontrol, let me check [00:06] the program `time` won't accept any options specified in it's man page and instead tries to execute them, what is wrong? [00:06] gaveen:sure i ll wait [00:06] How can get my computer's information? [00:06] like the arch processor etc. [00:06] So I have a Realtek NIC that doesn't work on boot, or in a live cd, but if I run /etc/init.d/networking restart it works but only negotiates a 10mbps connection. Anyone have any ideas of where I should head to get this fixed? [00:07] kazoo, cpuinfo [00:07] kazoo: "sudo lshw" [00:07] !cpuinfo [00:07] lynx--_, ok you hee / [00:07] I hee / [00:07] ^ here [00:07] ^ here [00:07] I'm here [00:07] does anyone know if there is a perl implementation of php? [00:07] kazoo:uname -m [00:07] hi [00:08] lynx--_, ok why tou decide to do this way just install the ppa [00:08] kazoo, nano /proc/cpuinfo [00:08] what's the ppa [00:08] ^ you [00:08] oh yeah [00:08] well [00:08] I tried both packages, both PPA and DEB [00:08] it still didn't work [00:08] kazoo, This one is a bit safer: less /proc/cpuinfo [00:08] lynx--_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:08] shiftingcontrol, You need either cmake or qmake. Try these instructions: http://gitorious.org/speedcrunch/mainline/blobs/master/INSTALL [00:08] so I tried compiling it manually [00:09] it kept giving me that requires error message [00:09] you have a deb package ? ltnx- [00:09] shiftingcontrol: By the way, that shows the arch of the current running kernel, not what the CPU is capable of. [00:09] the program `time` won't accept any options specified in it's man page and instead tries to execute them, what is wrong? [00:09] yes, but I'm not using it [00:09] hi guys...hoping you can help, apt isn't working for me...it keeps getting stuck at "waiting for headers" no matter what I try (apt-get update was the last attempt) yet the repo in my sources.list is pinging fine [00:09] jpds:yep he asked arch [00:09] lynx--_, why debs are great [00:09] I uninstalled the PPA and DEB and used http://code.google.com/p/scanmem/ [00:09] rallias, i develop in both perl and php, i havent heard anything like that... why dont you ask in #perl ? [00:09] gaveen:thanks hust now installed cmake and trying [00:09] I used the scanmem-0.11.tar.gz and typed ./configure --enable-gui && make; make install [00:09] are my messages actually getting through to the channel?!

[00:10] RetroGamer: pinging from the same PC? [00:10] im trying to install offline mi wifi rt3090 with the deb pacage from http:// ppa.launchpad. net/markus- tisoft/ rt3090 but when i executed it tells me that i need a dependenci : dkms, what is this? should i donwload that packet to? [00:10] all it needed was libreadline6, which I have [00:10] airtonix: _not_ /bin. bin/rsync. Local directory. [00:11] wendico: yes, it's the kernel module system [00:11] daftykins, indeed...I'm not sure whats wrong with it [00:11] lynx--_, scanmem requires libreadline to read commands interactively, and /proc must be mounted. [00:11] DrkShadow, ok [00:11] DrkShadow, if you are trying to run local copy, you need to put ./ infront of it... : ./bin/rsync [00:11] RetroGamer: checked all your settings, network gateway, DNS, proxy? not using a web proxy at all? [00:11] airtonix: omfg... when did that come about?? I've never had to use ./ if it had a directory in front. [00:12] !offline > wendico [00:12] wendico, please see my private message [00:12] DrkShadow, since ... forever ? [00:12] $ ./bin/rsync: -bash: ./bin/rsync: No such file or directory [00:12] wendico, you should also look at Keryx. http://keryxproject.org [00:12] daftykins, aye I checked all that...its at this point that I would usually purge the program and reinstall....but its apt >< [00:12] /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) -- so.. not something about noexec being set.. [00:12] DrkShadow, just a gues but is that "bin" dir actually == ~/bin ? [00:13] /home/drkshadow/rsync-dev/bin/rsync [00:13] DrkShadow, so have you tried using full absolute path ? [00:13] RetroGamer: is it physical or a VM?

[00:13] so hiexpo [00:13] daftykins, physical [00:13] what do I do [00:13] * DrkShadow is confused :-) [00:13] I searched for the erropr message on google or similar types [00:13] It seems like it has to do with a PyGTK version issue [00:13] DrkShadow, btw if you put files in ~/bin then they are automatically put on the $PATH for your users session by virtue of the ~/.profiles actions [00:14] daftykins, I'm on it now...the internet is otherwise working fine [00:14] RetroGamer: hmm can you wireshark it from another box, or backup sources.list and try another mirror for fun? [00:14] tru to build with out gui [00:14] wendico, the problem is that most software packages depend on others and those in turn depend on even more. It takes software like Keryx to find all those dependencies for you. Hope that makes sense. :-) [00:14] im trying to figure out where monitor settings are stored - I can't seem to find any xorg.conf file - or is it just detected at boot time and not in any config file? [00:14] try [00:14] daftykins, I have a UNR netbook...does it use the same package store? [00:14] DrkShadow, /home/andrew/rsync-dev/bin/rsync === Andorin is now known as AK|offline [00:14] RetroGamer: have to admit i have no idea [00:14] ugh, I included too much info there. [00:15] daftykins, I shall check sources.list [00:15] airtonix: anyway, the result is as given: file not fonud. [00:15] DrkShadow, does that rsync bin have to live at that exact location ? [00:15] i.e. if I go into gnome-monitor-settings and changed settings and apply, where is that saved to? [00:15] airtonix: well, I'm going to say yes. [00:15] mac9416: if i use the synaptic package option to "export" a package from this computer will be like an "instaler" or thats why you link me to the keryx project so i can do that xd? [00:15] DrkShadow, are in the same directory as "rsync" ? [00:15] gnome-display-properties rather [00:15] airtonix: huh? [00:15] DrkShadow, why file not found no such dir ? [00:16] DrkShadow, cd /home/andrew/rsync-dev/bin === smckillop is now known as smckillop|offlin [00:16] airtonix: just did that.. same thing: -bash: ./rsync: No such file or directory. ls -l rsync: -rwxr-xr-x 1 drkshadow drkshadow 829167 2010-04-09 19:07 rsync [00:17] It seems like it has to do with a PyGTK version issue [00:17] It seems like it has to do with a PyGTK version issue! [00:17] daftykins, same sources and it works fine under UNR...something on this laptop has gone wrong [00:17] by the way, it is posible to update offline? just download all the upgrades (like a mocosoft service pack) and then install them in offline computers? is it easy? [00:17] airtronix: also copied it to ~/rsync-dev, ./rsync, same thing: file not found. === lynx--_ is now known as imasaint [00:17] DrkShadow, sorry no idea.. too early in the morning for me [00:17] If it's possible it's a library issue, that's it -- it was compiled on a previous (7.x? 8.x?) version of ubuntu.. [00:18] but I think it should throw an error, not file not found, if that's the issue. [00:18] DrkShadow, yeah and it is set as executable right ?

(or opendns/google DNS etc?) [00:18] but yes.. that seems to have been it. I recompiled, it works not.. [00:18] airtonix: check out the ls :-/ [00:19] anyone to help me with bug #500658 ?

[00:20] RetroGamer: on the problematic one? [00:21] or UNR? [00:21] daftykins, aye [00:21] UNR is fine [00:21] you must have a repo that you've not imported a key for [00:21] dli, get a cat it will move [00:21] dli, are you using synergy? are you using VNC or Rdp or Freenx ? [00:21] daftykins, I haven't added any repos [00:21] airtonix, no, native X server, i.e., on localhost [00:22] RetroGamer: then next time you add extra repositories remember to also add the gpg key; sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's namee" does both [00:22] xangua, I haven't got any extra repos [00:22] airtonix, not from vnc, nx, or the rdp (never heard of) [00:22] xangua, I am trying to install python-pygame from the ubuntu main [00:23] RetroGamer: can you pastebin the exact error and your sources?

[00:27] vulcan_hacker, did you try the workaround I found, "Alt-F7" to recover the pointer [00:27] like pictures?

[00:29] chipmonkduck: things of that nature can't be helped with in here [00:29] chipmonkduck: sorry never tried one of those [00:29] vulcan_hacker, I still can not decide whether this is a touchpad(synaptics) bug or a more general X bug === imasaint is now known as ShouldIUse [00:30] When I was restoring some database backups I overwrote the "mysql" database.

Which logs could I look at for errors? [00:49] Dli, so in theory, replace the init folder? [00:49] squ1d1, you'd better run sshd on it, and try network login [00:49] ectospasm: seems so... :( === doctrine_noob is now known as swnukleus [00:49] there is no readme nor anything in it to be read....that's why I am asking [00:49] anygivenname, what is the tar name so we can help you ?

I'm guessing it's mysql-common that messed things up (removed things, deleted files, reinstalled all of mysql _except_ mysql-common) [00:53] Dli, would reinstalling ubuntu be a crime. [00:54] where is that? [00:54] daftykins: i think it's not a netgear... it's named ZyXEL ... [00:54] hello everyone. as of ubuntu 10.10 i get a window saying "sim pin unlock required" everytime i boot. How can I get rid of this? [00:54] squ1d1, no, just don't want to be caught by the same bug again [00:54] Im thinking about attempting to reinstall [00:54] hello,everyone!! [00:54] see where it goes [00:55] thank you though Dli. [00:55] daftykins: static ip at my pc should work, but i tried to setup the DHCP from the router [00:55] squ1d1, backup your /home, /etc, maybe, /var (you should know, if it's important to you), use rsync -avxAH, or simply: cp -av [00:55] Oins: ah ok, saw one of the above at mine. are you doing a static DHCP lease and it won't let you select .200 as the IP? [00:55] i know consumer netgears refuse to let you set a static lease outside the DHCP scope, which is daft [00:55] I want to develop cortex-M0 by ubuntu?

[00:56] daftykins: yes right. you can assign a MAC to a IP. if i try to set .200 i get the error: "wrong ip, change DHCP settings".... the ip .110 eg works [00:57] nats: i have no idea what your question means [00:57] Oins: so is your DHCP start and end IP addresses set to stop way before 200? [00:58] e.g. on a typical netgear, if a scope is .2 up to .20, trying to choose .21 will result in an error [00:58] Ok, this is random, Ubuntu 10.10 keeps randomly freezing but then it will work after like a few seconds [00:58] I want to use ubuntu develop to cortex-M0,but I don't know how to do ! [00:58] nats, be patient if someone knows they will help you remember everyone here helps to help no money this week :) we help to help you > Please do not flood [00:58] Angelman: could be the desktop responsiveness bug... When it "pauses", does the HDD light go on? [00:58] yeah [00:58] ok ty [00:58] as long as it isnt my hw [00:59] daftykins: lol, now it works. the "pool-size" is not the netmask.. it's the numbers of the available ip addresses.... [00:59] Oins: yeah a value up to 253 ? [01:00] odd way of doing it [01:00] I just did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu (10.04 --> 10.10). Every time I do heavy CPU intensive work, I experience sudden shutdowns (this generally happens with overheating). But everything was working fine in 10.04 for months, so I doubt a hardware problem suddenly occured right after a reinstall. It seems that the default ACPI configuration is screwed up somehow. How should I go about fixing this? [01:00] yeah its the kernel [01:00] daftykins: yes, with the poolsize 150, it works [01:00] Oins: ok i gotta run, enjoy! :) [01:00] sux [01:00] daftykins: too easy :D [01:00] jrt4 I am going through that, you need to compile 2.26.15 rather than 2.26.22 [01:01] Thanks for your help, guys!

My question is why. It wasn't happening at all prior to the upgrade. [01:04] jrt4: look into lm_sensors [01:04] The upgrade didn't magically fill my fans with cathair. [01:05] hi hello how are doing? [01:05] jrt4 clean out the dust and cathair recently? [01:05] Something must be screwed in ACPI. [01:05] jrt4: could be a driver for a sensor changed, and you've uncovered a bug.

[01:05] ectospasm, OK. How would I diagnose this so that I can file a useful bug report. I'm not seeing anything in the logs. [01:06] jrt4: like I said, look into lm_sensors logs. I haven't looked into them in some time [01:06] jrt4: ... so I don't know where to guide you [01:06] ectospasm, Oh, sorry. I missed when you said that. I'll take a look. Thanks a bunch.

Any other suggestions? [01:11] jrt4: nope, sorry [01:11] (Searches for "temp" and "thermal" also aren't turning anything up ...)( [01:11] jrt4: maybe find the time of the last boot in messages or syslog, and find that [01:11] hello everyone. as of ubuntu 10.10 i get a window saying "sim pin unlock required" everytime i boot.

[01:13] mbrochh: sounds like your Bluetooth stack is trying to connect to your mobile phone [01:13] mbrochh, and the message is probably from bluetooth applet, maybe, you can supply the sim pin, or blacklist the phone bluetooth in applet [01:14] ecolitan, ok i disabled bluetooth... i BET when i login again it will be enabled again... [01:14] i will try, brb [01:14] um... [01:15] ectospasm, dli, bluetooth was not the issue [01:15] it is still off but the message persists [01:16] mbrochh, how did you disable bluetooth?

[01:33] smw: correct [01:33] have to use them all [01:33] mbreslin, then you need to uninstall the tarball [01:33] hvipen: that should be because of your network [01:34] I don't really know what else I'm looking for in the syslog for more information [01:34] yea prob - [01:34] mbreslin, tarballs and packages don't mix.

I have a router connected to the internet and i am Trying to acess it through a universal repeater. Aparently everything is fine, i get an ip from the main router through dhcp but somehow i cant ping it. Nothing passes through the repeater [01:37] can it be that u can install ubuntu but kubuntu per se doesnt want to get installed and has hardware issues? [01:37] The same issue seemed to appear in opensuse, but there was a patch available that seemed to correct the issue with wpa supplicant [01:37] like that there are differences between gnome and kde [01:38] good evening everyone [01:38] What is the package name for the GUI installer in Ubuntu 10.10? [01:38] Jef91, ubiquity? [01:39] thanks smw [01:39] Jef91, ubiquity-frontend-gtk [01:39] anyone around that might be able to give me a little partitioning advice? [01:40] robbiedeal, sure [01:40] thanks smw [01:40] robbiedeal, desktop or server? [01:40] gaming desktop install, 2x 500gb sata drives 7200primary, 5400secondary, sole ubuntu install [01:41] well gaming will be the primary time spent, but it will be used for other things hehe [01:41] robbiedeal, wow. ubuntu gets both hard drives? === james is now known as Guest2716 [01:41] dli, ectospasm disabling WWAN in by BIOS solved the problem.. [01:42] yep, everything i do with windows (games wise) runs beautifully in wine, so im finally ditching windows haha [01:42] i have VBox for anything that i need windows for =D [01:42] robbiedeal, wow, that is good to know :-) [01:42] robbiedeal, ok, I suggest making an LVM [01:43] now on the the next one... I want to use USA International (AltGr dead keys).. i added this layout in my keyboard preferences, yet everytime i reboot, german is selected again... sometimes in the system bar it even shows USA but i only get german keys [01:43] robbiedeal, that will allow you to make both hardrives look like one [01:43] how can i ensure that USA layout is being activated on startup? [01:43] sorry that i spammed the channel... so i want to ask again in one question: is it possible that i can install ubuntu on my computer but if i try to install kubuntu i get errors? IS there somehow a difference between hardware compatibility between gnome and kde? [01:43] there used to be an old application that would monitor network traffic and display images from the feed... [01:43] anyone remember what i am talking about? [01:43] if i recall, it was in a ubuntu repo recently last time i used it [01:43] how would I go about upgrading my kernel to 2.6.36? [01:44] theSamowar, no difference [01:44] robbiedeal, I suggest 100GB for / (unless you think you need more) and twice ram for swap [01:44] robbiedeal, the rest can be /home [01:44] driftnet [01:44] anybody from florida here [01:44] smw, ok, jotting this down, will need to do a little research on LMV also, had nto heard of it before now [01:44] wrong channel [01:44] smw: but how can it be then that i just installed my computer with ubuntu but everytime i try to install kubuntu he cannot go on anymore and suddenly falls into the "terminal mode" showing me a lot of problems [01:45] robbiedeal, actually, will you need alot of hdd space for /home? [01:45] O, I'm able to confirm that I am able to connect if authentication is turned off. [01:45] robbiedeal, where do you store games? [01:46] It just seems that WPA supplicant is failing [01:46] usually in /home/user/games [01:46] but again i dont really know if the way i am doing it is the most efficient haha === tecnovicioBR is now known as Guest62526 [01:46] robbiedeal, You have too much hard drive space [01:47] robbiedeal, it is hard to think about efficiency with that much hdd space :-P [01:47] hahaha sorry =\ [01:47] So my wireless is able to connect if I turn authentication off on the router, but WPA Supplicant fails when I need to authenticate [01:47] robbiedeal, you could setup one harddrive for wine and windows and the other for linux [01:47] hello [01:48] anyone help with rules? [01:48] I would erradicate all the propietary software If I could..... [01:48] with it being sole ubuntu should i worry about a /boot partition? [01:48] :P [01:48] david_, what rules? [01:48] well been years since i used irc [01:48] robbiedeal, the truth is that separating anything other than data dirs is a waste of time [01:48] i know there was some rules what we could talk about and such [01:49] robbiedeal, if this was a server, I would say differently [01:49] hmmm, so /, swap, and /home should be more than enough seperation? [01:49] david_, the rule is, ubuntu support only in this room. Everything else in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:49] k [01:50] thx [01:50] david_, the other rule is don't annoy people [01:50] lol [01:50] i will try [01:50] david_, common sense and you are good ;-) [01:50] Hmm... [01:50] looking for good place to replace p2p [01:50] robbiedeal, yeah. I think that is pretty good [01:51] is there a way of showing the close, minimize and expand icons on the edge in the top right corner instead of top left? [01:51] david_, replace what p2p?

[02:49] anyone having problems with apps under wine? [02:49] tom1: you dont need home but can be usefull for reinstalls [02:49] tom1: (Windows) (linux /) (swap) - But i would use a (Home) parittion also. [02:49] i think i'd like a shared data partition so should i use 4? === GeekyAdam is now known as GeekyAdam|zzZZZZ [02:49] i just found a the solution:D [02:49] heheh [02:50] google rullz [02:50] tom1: Linux can read/write NTFS fine these days. [02:50] tom1: Having /home on a separate partition is a pretty good idea. [02:50] tom1: a shared data partition would be a decent idea [02:50] (windows)(linux)(swap)(home)(shared)? [02:50] tom1: the linux mount point will be simply / [02:50] you'll need an extended partition though [02:51] tensorpudding: i think you ned extended for more then 3 [02:51] okay, i'm not clear on the difference between /home and what i'll be putting on the data partion [02:51] viva linux tios...avec 2 troyens on reste en place au poker open source. [02:51] tom1: /home simply acts as a sepret storage for your personal file / is your data or data and personal file if you dont use home [02:51] tom1: /home is where user files go [02:51] Alright, so I'm on my cousins computer and he has an amd64 bit proccessor, I tried installing flash 10, it says flash 10 isn't supported for amd64 [02:52] personal files [02:52] tom1: /home contains your user data. Documents, downloads, everything that isn't part of the system. Think of it as your "My Documents" folder. / is everything else. Think of it as C: [02:52] BasEBallBoy: Just apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:52] okay, so i should still keep /home separate from the shared partition probably? [02:52] I have a question, I'm currently connected to a windows computer through cifs. I'm using the command.. sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.108/ChrisFiles/ -o username=Chris,password=PASS /mnt/winserver Is there a way I can replace 192.168.2.108 (the LAN address) with just the name (myserver) so it doesn't matter if I'm on the LAN or if I'm using a VPN? [02:52] tom1: /home is a partation [02:52] tom1: Yes, because you can use different linux distributions, or reinstall Ubuntu or do whatever, without losing your documents so long as /home is on a separate partition [02:53] tom1: your shared parttion wont be ext2/3/4 it will be vfat/ntfs most likely - so it cant be /home/ [02:53] tom1: you can do it like this windows linux / swap or you can do windows /home / linux swap [02:53] windaube laissez tomber..

[02:54] tom1: all /home does is seprrate your personal file from the core os [02:54] files [02:54] merçi. [02:54] tom1: linux works fine with or without but without a format = all data lost [02:55] sorry, without a format? [02:55] tom1: keeping the personal files distinct from the operating system files is a good plan [02:55] tom1: with a format [02:55] hello, is there a way to display in Ubuntu (GNOME) if the caps lock key is on or off? [02:55] tom1: if you dont have /home [02:56] Hi, I have successfully installed karmic remix on my netbook alongside the existing windows xp. now, I have burned a DVD with 10.10. I booted from the DVD but the only option i have is to wipe the disk. I need to retain the windows 7 os. Do I have the wrong version for installing side-by-side? [02:56] tom1: it makes backup easier, and if you ever wanted to wipe your install completely, you wouldn't have to do anything special to preserve your personal files [02:56] wang2: ive seen somne panel applets that can do that. Check the OMGubuntu web site. ive seen them mentioned there. [02:56] geez: it should have the option to install alongside Windows in the installer [02:56] ASULutzy: Thanks [02:56] okay, how much space should be left for /home? [02:56] Anybody know of a terminal program that supports color ansi graphics? I'm playing an old BBS door game via telnet, and the graphics are always messed up. I've tried the default Ubuntu terminal, Syncterm, and pterm...any others? [02:56] Dr_Willis: thanks, my keyboard has no led's :( [02:56] tom1: but if your gona share storage with windows you probly whont need a /home to keep personal files in [02:56] tom1: it depends on what you plan to put there [02:57] drbanzai: urxvt is worth a try [02:57] i mostly just planned to use the shared partition [02:57] i wasn't sure what would go in /home [02:57] blakkheim, Thanks, I'll check it out [02:57] tom1: any configuration files go in /home [02:57] tom1: then you only need / swap and windows [02:57] is it okay if config files are on the shared partition? [02:57] tom1: but if you keep all your heavy media files in the shared partition, /home can be rather small [02:57] tom1: windows being ntfs [02:58] tom1: your confighs still get stored in /home no matter how you format [02:58] ok [02:58] tom1: configuration files are created in the user's home directory, for a variety of reasons [02:58] tom1: as i said the only diffrence with a home partation is there sepreated from root [02:59] Can someone help me with resolution issues in 10.04 [02:59] is there anyway more gracefully to restart x than killing its pid and running startx? [03:00] tom1: but unlesss you plain on storing critcal data on linux you whont need /home if you dont care losing it on a reformat [03:00] hmm... how do you reset your password on freenode? [03:00] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color [03:01] okay, i have a 150 gb hd in my laptop...does this seem reasonable (windows7-50gb)(ubuntu-20GB)(swap-2GB)(home-2GB)(shared-76gb) [03:01] i have no idea how much to leave for windows 7 [03:01] and is 2gb too much for /home? [03:01] tom1: install windows first [03:01] tom1: to little [03:01] tom1, too much?! [03:02] gbear14275: I believe you'll have to contact freenode staff about that one [03:02] DLI, problem solved :) [03:02] Just a quick question: Does Ubuntu 10 support the multitouch features of newer netbook trackpads? [03:02] tom1: /home if where you store file / is where apps and stuff get installed / whont need to be very large unless you install alot of apps [03:02] is [03:02] files [03:02] so I would add "root@178.162.240.74:orange38" to my hosts file ? [03:02] gogeta: sorry i got kicked off, but i think i'm making a mistake somewhere. where can i find the actual mount name? as of now its just labeled as '20 GB filesystem' [03:02] oh CRAP [03:03] i use matlab on both partitions which is kind of large [03:03] Hi good evening; I am looking for some help in troubleshooting Ubuntu 10.10 networking issue: It does not connect to the internet. [03:03] Sadly I haven't used Linux in several years, but now I'm getting a netbook I'm considering it again. [03:03] tom1: 2GB is more than enough on a small system if you intend to store all your documents on the shared partition [03:03] mbergamo: /home is where you store downloads and stuff / is where apps get installed to so home needs to be large enough for your needs [03:03] i have a new problem LOL i need to change that ssh pass D: [03:03] mbergamo: / doesent need to be very large unless you install lots of apps [03:04] can't i download to the shared partition? [03:04] no one has heard of this issue? [03:04] I am home so any suggestions you have I will try tomorrow morning when I go in to work. The localhost is working find. [03:04] BonSequitur: My own information is probably out dated, but I think multi touch is kind of hit and miss at the moment, but I don't know of the current status. [03:04] tom1: asa i said if your not going to store critical data on linux you dont need /home only / and let / act as both [03:05] tom1: when I used to use a shared partition, I configured it so that there were symlinks from folders on the shared partition to folders on the main partition [03:05] okay, is 50 gb enough/too little for windows 7? [03:05] Question, I recently uninstalled evolution but yet it still shows up on the applications list [03:05] tom1: install windows first [03:05] how can I fix [03:05] echo "root@178.162.240.74:orange38" >> .networking_conf [03:05] tom1: or windows will overwright grub [03:05] gogeta: i will, but how much space should i leave it? [03:05] fuck wrong tty [03:05] after [03:05] Diamondcite: Okay, thanks. Is Ubuntu 10 netbook still fairly new in general, or is it just that? [03:05] !language | Utopos [03:05] Utopos: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:05] tom1: you can resize it and put linux on after [03:06] gogeta: right, i was just wondering what to resize it to [03:06] The ubuntu 10.10 came with Network Manager .8 installed. When I ran it in VirtualBox, it connects to the internet fine. Anyone has suggestion on how to fix this? [03:06] BonSequitur: 10.10 was released just last month. My own netbook isn't multi touch and so I can't comment on how well it works. [03:06] hi, is there something similar to CutePDF Writer in Ubuntu ? I had installed pdfsed and pdfedit, but both doesn't work anymore [03:06] tom1: what do you plan to use it for? i''m pretty sure 50gb will fit windows 7 and all the programs you can conceive of putting in it [03:06] tom1: well if your gonna use linux lightly and not many apps or downloads 10gb is more then enough for linux [03:07] Diamondcite: Ach, so. Thanks regardless. :) [03:07] BonSequitur: Maybe a liveCD is a good test before installing. [03:07] tom1: 10gb + swap and let windows have the rest [03:07] BonSequitur: Another person using some other distro initially had detection troubles with the multi touch capable touch pad. [03:07] Diamondcite: Well, it's a netbook. It doesn't have a CD drive. [03:08] i need matlab on both partitions. that's the only major probgram in linux...i use ubuntu mostly just for programming [03:08] But I imagine you can set up a live USB key? [03:08] tom1: as you said your gona store moston ntfs anyways [03:08] BonSequitur: a LiveUSB or the installation medium in general ^_^ [03:08] gogeta: right, how should i divide the windows and shared partitions? [03:08] Well, the ubuntu install still doubles as a live$MEDIA, right? [03:08] BonSequitur: Yes it does. [03:08] tom1: first let windows install [03:09] (Again, I haven't touched Linux in a while... sad. I used to be a slackware user, now I probably have forgotten it all and couldn't even find an xconfig file.) [03:09] tom1: then you can resize windows and give linux a partation [03:09] gogeta: i will, but at some point i have to decide how big to make the partition that linux and windows will share [03:09] BonSequitur: x.conf isn't valid anymore... more like xorg.conf and minimal interaction if any is needed anymore. [03:09] But anyway, thank you. I guess I'll find out soon enough whether it works. [03:09] tom1: linux can handel ntfs quite well [03:10] tom1: so you can share the ntfs [03:10] i have lost some files recently by storing everyting on the windows partition so i am nervous about doing this now [03:10] tom1: lost files? [03:11] tom1: had a windows go bad did ya [03:11] i was writing to the windows partition from ubuntu and lost files on several occasions (it was windows fault i believe) [03:11] i've been working off an external hard drive since then because i'm paranoid now [03:11] tom1: i see [03:12] anyone??? [03:12] If I get thrown into rinitramfs, how can I continue booting? [03:12] is it possible to resize the windows and shared partitions after everything is installed or is that a bad idea? [03:12] tom1: well if you whant to store on linux [03:12] DrkShadow: Can you pick to boot from a recovery kernel? [03:13] DrkShadow: Also please tell us the last thing you did before this happened [03:13] tom1: well for a shared partation it needs to be fat32 [03:13] tom1: if you worryed abought ntfs messing up [03:13] diamond: I just put ubuntu 9.04 on a USB key. I booted and got dumped into initramfs. It said /lib/modules//modules.dep didn't exist. It does exist. [03:13] tom1: windows cant see linux formats [03:13] i just wanted to write to an isolated partition (i was planning on making it ntfs for file size limit reasons) [03:14] oddly enough, my usb key doesn't show up in /dev... [03:14] tom1: well 7 needs 10gb to install [03:15] DrkShadow: That almost seems like terrible compatability.. [03:15] * DrkShadow sighs at ubuntu [03:15] liens magnets in place with trasmission ..? [03:15] DrkShadow: Was the key recently altered? [03:15] ubuntu 10.04 LTS finds the USB just fine... but doesn't really have a live cd portion.. [03:15] tom1: we can do windows 40gb linux 10gb rest to shared [03:15] diamond: I just wrote it from the ISO, does that count? [03:15] DrkShadow: Err.. no idea should be fine? [03:16] Hi, I am not sure how this happened, but somehow the Me menu icon is missing. How do I get the icon back in the system tray? [03:16] gogeta: okay, i might make linux 20 so there's room after matlab installation [03:16] 2gb for swap? [03:16] DrkShadow: The site should have had instructions on how to install ubuntu 10.10 on the USB key in the download section. [03:16] tom1: if you whant [03:16] it finds a USB serial device. *sigh* [03:16] diamond: the server portions seem to just not have a livecd portion... only an installer. [03:16] Where can I find the themes in a Ubuntu CD-rom? [03:16] maybe I can just grab a USB adapter.. [03:17] use my netbook :-\ [03:17] referiancieds === so is now known as Guest27537 [03:17] tom1: being you gonna use a sepret partation to move data you defently whont need /home for stoage [03:17] storage [03:17] DrkShadow: I'm not sure what you wish to use it for and I'm out of time at the moment.. "Please stay on the line and another able person will help you as soon as possible." [03:17] gogeta: okay, i'll skip the /home idea [03:17] *knock knock* Idiot question. What is the ubuntu repository? [03:18] Rogan_, sarcasm or serious question? [03:18] for 10.4 LTS, if that matters [03:18] Serious question... [03:18] tom1: yea its only maters on reformats but if you backup by other means its not nedded [03:18] how to run ubuntu one from command line? [03:18] referiands liens magnets.!!! [03:18] ubuntu 10.04 server.. is there any way to check on fsck progress? FreeBSD has a ctrl-T which will output a percentage [03:18] I mean.. it's been going for an hour and a half and I have no idea how much longer it's going to be or even if it's frozen. [03:19] (hard drive light doesn't work) [03:19] gogeta: okay, is it possible to install software on the shared partition or is that a bad idea? [03:19] !repository | Rogan_ [03:19] Hi, I am not sure how this happened, but somehow the Me menu icon is missing. How do I get the icon back in the system tray?

[03:19] tom1: linux you whont need to [03:19] ok [03:20] Beats the biscuits out of editing things in a text document. === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [03:20] (And oh, alacarte can be accessed simply by right clicking the menu bar and editing the menus) [03:20] tom1: if you mean for using wine installs can be anywhere i never harmed anything like that before anyways [03:20] Does that answer your question, Rogan_?

It will only work after a reboot and is not recognized by my bios or ubuntu when booting cold. Here is the link to the bug listing for this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/459282. Any ideas or fixes would be greatly appreciated! [03:21] okay thanks [03:21] It answers my question, but also tells me that I had the wrong problem. [03:21] :P [03:22] What was the problem *really?* [03:22] ok tios referencien solo liens magnets.! [03:22] Uhm, so I'm attempting to install Zabbix via apt-get and apparently it's in the default ubuntu repository [03:22] Just open Synaptic (under System>Administration) and look it up. [03:23] If it isn't there, then it might not be supplied in the Ubuntu repositories for 10.10 anymore. [03:23] crap, i just did root@myserver:/somedir# chown -R user:group .* [03:23] nxnn114, doesn't realtek have bleeding edge code for linux for that? [03:23] argh! === Jyggaa is now known as Jygga [03:23] What the fu-*BOOM* [03:23] tom1: but on the windows side you should be able to install to shared [03:23] * DrkShadow notes that Intel boards have TERRIBLE Linux compatibility [03:23] pyrate bay no muertos. [03:23] yagoo: Are you asking or telling? [03:23] tom1: just nt the linux side [03:23] oh okay [03:24] why the F*** doesnt that just chown the files below the dir im in right now? [03:24] so what do i really need to save on the windows partition? [03:24] tom1: but you can save your work etc to shared [03:24] Did you cd to that directory Jygga? [03:24] Doesn't look like it's there. You don't happen to have an idea of what repo I might find it in? [03:24] yes tiox [03:24] liens decentralisés..! [03:24] Ugh, I don't know then. [03:24] i was in the directory i wanted to chown [03:24] including its contents [03:24] And for you, Rogan_, take a look -- Google is your friend. === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu [03:25] but now all files on the server are chowned *sob**cry* [03:25] great [03:25] last backup to the rescue [03:26] Right now I want to know if the old Ambiance and Radiance themes would be found in a 10.04 CD/USB installer? [03:26] . [03:26] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color anyone have any ideas? [03:26] Because I loved them. And when I use Ambiance_R/Radiance_R from gnome-look it's not compatible with Synaptic. [03:26] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color anyone have any ideas? Ubuntu 10.04 [03:27] i.e. Synaptic defaults to standard Gnome theme. [03:27] How is Ubuntu's NTFS support? I want to create a backup and media server, and I want it to be accessible to windows, but would rather now screw myself over with incompatibilities [03:27] viva gnu linux!! [03:27] Screw it, I'll do it from source. Thanks though :D [03:27] Jygga: .* includes .., so you told chown to recursively chown the parent directory [03:27] I need to access a video encoded in a DVD and for some reason its not being automounted in my desktop. Any ideas why that is so? How could I mount it manually:? [03:27] ye got that trism ;) [03:28] hi [03:28] mercutio22: bad burn or encrytped dvd? [03:28] i have a question [03:28] does wine really words with all programs from windows? [03:28] gogeta: I can access it in a windows box [03:29] elleryss: well not all but many [03:29] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color anyone have any ideas? Ubuntu 10.04 [03:29] ok [03:29] elleryss: Wine works with a lot of programs right off the bat, but there are some that either need some extras to work, or refuse to work at all === elleryss is now known as Newbei [03:29] TeslaTony: If Windows is in the same partition, just save in the Windows partition. [03:29] elleryss: you can look up programs in the winedb and see how well they work or dont [03:29] ok [03:30] thanks [03:30] That CAN be done, right? [03:30] im really new.. [03:30] but i love ubuntu now [03:30] dell vostro 1710 laptop touch pad not responding [03:30] What do you wanna know Newbei? [03:31] Maybe someone will answer my question on where the Ubuntu themes are on a CD while we talk. [03:31] tiox: It's a 2Tb backup drive I have stuffed a good distance from the computer. Windows can't handle ext, and FAT can't hand;e 2Tb, so that leaves NTFS [03:31] mercutio22: you saves on the shared partation as long as its a windows formated hdd yes aka ntfs or fat [03:31] many things .. cant explain it briefly coz i type so slow [03:31] PM me then, I can answer basic user configuration questions. [03:31] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color anyone have any ideas? Running Ubuntu 10.04 with Mobility Radeon 9700 [03:32] :) [03:32] mercutio22: oh you mean the dvd [03:32] this is a good channel!!!! [03:32] TeslaTony: Maybe, save the files on a USB drive? [03:32] mercutio22: it could be encrypted and linux isnt likeing it === zach is now known as Guest96784 [03:32] gogeta: yes.. [03:32] mercutio22: some new dvds are like that [03:32] gogeta: yes most likely [03:32] gogeta: maybe adding the medibuntu stuff [03:32] mercutio22: thers a fix but i forgot it lol [03:33] Sorry Tesla, I do not know a more comprehensive answer other than save off-site. [03:33] quizas sous ubuntu... [03:33] mercutio22: well is it showing up and not playing [03:33] i,e. on an(other) external device. [03:33] you can accept newbie questions? [03:33] like [03:33] Ask me anythng. [03:33] anything* [03:33] where can i fine the partition ? [03:33] !fr | chien [03:33] chien: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [03:33] There is no such thing as stupid questions. Just stupid people. :P [03:33] becouse its dual OS [03:34] how difficult is 32 bit compatibility in 64 bit gentoo [03:34] If you want to mess with partitions, then open up gparted. [03:34] DrManhattan: ask gentoo [03:34] ok [03:34] wait [03:34] I am so sorry [03:34] I assume you know what you would know what to do from there. [03:34] I lost track of the channel I was in [03:34] By defaultm run applications is Alt+F2 [03:34] DrManhattan: lol [03:34] default, * [03:35] gogeta: its not even showing up I am afraid [03:35] comment pour y aller maco [03:35] mercutio22: what movie is it [03:35] mercutio22: good bet if i do a bit of serching ill find out [03:35] hmmm i got a backup from a few days ago, is there a way to crawl that backup directory structure to chown all files and directories that are in the backup? [03:35] gogeta: its a recorded meeting [03:35] If i try to change to anything other than 1920x1200 the screen fades to a whitish gray color anyone have any ideas? Running Ubuntu 10.04 with Mobility Radeon 9700 [03:35] ok, ubuntu LTS 10.04, detects errors on a partition, says run fsck manually, but won't drop me to a shell. When I reboot, it doesn't give any recovery menu option. How can I do anything with it?\ [03:36] mercutio22: umm now thats odd it shouldent be encrypted [03:36] its a remote server and i would have to go on a rescue shell and whatnot otherwise [03:36] newbei: It might also interest you to know, you can change the button positions of metacity/GTK themes in gconf-editor, navigate to apps/metacity/general and toy with button_layout [03:36] cool tios ici.... [03:36] gogeta: I think they encript it as DVD video [03:36] the errors are on a RAID5, so I can't boot to USB because it likely won't have the drivers, and I can't easily throw it in another machine.. [03:36] That way, if you don;t like window controls on left, you can move them to right. [03:36] Everything seems to run fine for me in 10.4 in terms of performance, except for mysql...on localhost, anything with a lot of writes, it is probably 10x slower than what I experience online or in windows+wamp [03:36] :) [03:36] im lost [03:36] wait [03:36] mercutio22: yea it should show as a dvd video or at least a data disk [03:36] im looking for my c: [03:36] Just query me. [03:36] gogeta: installing the codecs from medibuntu hasn't helped... [03:36] mercutio22: do other dvd movies work [03:37] where my win7 is [03:37] i cant fine id [03:37] mercutio22: i also rember the win7 burning softwhere using some odd format ubuntu does not see [03:37] I am not well-versed on toying with partitions, since I run Ubuntu independently. Someone else can better answer both yours and Tesla's question. [03:37] gogeta: don't know... lemme try and get another one [03:37] mercutio22: if they burned with that [03:37] i have a dell laptop vostro 1710 and the mouse touchpad is frozen, usb mouse works fine so soes the laptop key board running lucid 2.6.32-25-generic [03:38] et on apprends des choses avec les anglos! === Newbei is now known as NewBie [03:38] gogeta: thank you very much for your help === NewBie is now known as NewBie-_ [03:38] chien: #ubuntu-fr [03:38] i maybe be back later after i mess all this up [03:38] Hi Everyone!

[04:24] Madpilot: this guy [04:24] I am trying to get my old geforce 5200 fx graphics card to work with ubuntu but everytime i put it in my computer wont load. [04:24] or boot [04:24] gogeta, ? [04:24] fallinphamous, how far does it get? [04:25] gogeta: ok so I rebooted and saw in the bios that it was working. So i added acpi=off noapic to kernel line in grub and booted and it is. Do you want me know to make the additions permanent and shutdown and see if it works or what did you have in mind at this point? [04:25] Madpilot: sswaring in french lol [04:25] 1 [04:25] nxnn114: well shutdown see if it stick with pwoermangment off [04:25] gogeta, I speak enough French to know what "merde" means.

[05:20] how do i tart a script when my server starts?

[05:20] if i use wubi to install ubuntu in windows , does it hurt perfomance versus having it's own partition? [05:21] I'm confused as to how they work. [05:21] greezmunkey: not it cost like 5 bucks for 20 [05:21] wups I meant to post in #vbox channel [05:21] sorry [05:21] greezmunkey: now [05:21] greezmunkey: or 1 bascily they charge the shipping after your free one [05:21] I used wubi to install into windows and it was bad [05:21] Anyone know of a fix for the SMB issues in Nautilus?

[05:24] I broke lots learning lol [05:25] justin_: your the only one i knoe that can trash a ubuntu system [05:25] haha Im very reckless [05:26] first time i broke one i sudo'd nautilus to avoid using term [05:26] screwed all permissions [05:26] justin_: i rember that one [05:26] justin_: so messed up had to reformat [05:27] thank god for internet [05:27] saved reinstall [05:27] im only 6 month old penguin [05:27] loving it though [05:27] justin_: you did another one resulting is fs death to [05:28] in [05:28] ??

I think it will help you. [05:31] running lamp [05:31] box got hacked [05:32] justin_: inpossable [05:32] has anyone heard of this before? [05:32] impossible? [05:32] greezmunkey, Ta - this is basically the issue - as I have it. Rather strange that this isn't being addressed fast enough but. [05:32] put up a bigged hacked banner on front page [05:32] justin_: quite hard to hack unless it was a disgruntled user [05:32] traced back to china but ip was prolly spoofed [05:33] justin_: probly [05:33] justin_: unless of course you never udated heh [05:33] anyone use ladspa plugins? [05:33] hahaha yeah that was a part of the problem [05:33] through hydrogen [05:33] YankDownUnder: It looks like the fix may be adding the line as in post #6, as the later posts indicate. This solution was nominated as a fix for the bug. [05:33] it was a new job for me though [05:33] justin_: but to change wallpaper yea someone had the passord [05:34] justin_: and walked in threw vnc [05:34] <_vaibhav_> deww: hay thanks.. just changed UUID of my new partition... :) [05:34] they also had a ms hyper v install running ona vm image running win2k3 [05:35] justin_: lol [05:35] sorry ms vm 2005 [05:35] i walked into a cluster f*** [05:35] Fobax: herd of what [05:36] greezmunkey, Oddly enough, just checked all my workstations/servers here, and they're apparently all fine - the line already exists. [05:37] YankDownUnder: yet the problem still exists?? [05:38] greezmunkey, Si, Oui, Ja, Da, Yes. :) [05:38] gogeta: I've found a bug where if I hit the ctrl-alt-arrow keys too switch virtual desktops fast enough, sometimes the desktops shuffle with programs moving to other virtual desktops [05:38] Fobax: humm probly not unherd off [05:38] fobax: it ,oves program windows over to another desktop? [05:39] Fobax: i dont switch desktops to mutch [05:39] moves** [05:39] yeah, they just move from one to the other, sort of randomly, but only when I change virtual desktops quickly [05:40] fobax: which wm are you using? [05:40] Fobax: sounds like a glitch in compiz [05:40] like usually I have thunderbird open on the top left one, and once in a while it'll just move it to the one below it [05:40] I'm using compiz [05:40] it might be a feature [05:40] it must be a race condition of some sort [05:41] it is rare, and only happens when I switch twice and quickly [05:41] need webpage editor for linux [05:41] where can i get ? [05:41] shebang_wafflesa: only a feature when they cant fix it hehe [05:41] somee wm's will movee the focused window to another desktoip with certain keybindings [05:41] yeah, that's with shift, but this moves quite a few around [05:42] and sometimes swaps whole virtual desktops [05:42] anybody know ? [05:42] I've got 9 of them organized in a 3x3 grid, and sometimes it'll just move the top 3 down to be the bottom 3, shifting the other 6 up [05:42] YankDownUnder: Have you been able to locate any specific information in your log files? [05:42] Fobax: yea defently in some sort of condetion where compiz doesent see the switch for some or all and moves em [05:42] irfan_, what type of webpage editor do you want? [05:42] irfan: gedit is what i use [05:42] gogeta, exactly [05:43] okeee [05:43] color coded and everything [05:43] This is why i use openbox :P [05:43] or i use the free online code editors and then copy the code to text file [05:43] gedit has syntax highlighting [05:44] Fobax: maybe your pc is to epic fast heh [05:44] gogeta: it's a slow laptop... may not be fast enough [05:44] Fobax: yea could be some sort of lag [05:45] justin_, check out the ubuntu software centre, look under developer tools/web development [05:45] Fobax: i genrely avoide compiz being its more a gadgit [05:45] gogeta, it's got to be some sort of race condition [05:45] Fobax: preforance over eye candy [05:45] i havent had to do any serious development yet lol [05:46] gogeta, I don't use most of the features of compiz, but I do appreciate good virtual desktop support [05:46] simple php - html edits [05:46] Fobax: i can do multi workspaces just fine on 2d [05:46] since linux anyways [05:46] justin_, then gedit will work just fine for you [05:46] greezmunkey, Apparently, the "proper" fix is to upgrade from gvfs-1.6.1 to gvfs-1.6.3 or 1.6.4 => to which all deps on gvfs are broken... :) Lovely that, eh! [05:46] yeah so far [05:46] Fobax: virtule desktop has been around forever [05:47] gogeta, true, but I've found these to work better than the previous iterations [05:47] though this one bug is annoying [05:47] bit me twice today [05:47] Fobax: you can use the same hotkeys on 2d as with compiz minus the eye candy [05:48] Fobax: in face i think there aruldy maped that way [05:48] fact [05:48] quite possibly, but I'd rather not give up compiz [05:48] I'd prefer to just have this bug fixed [05:48] what would be the reason that it takes ages to extract a .log file from a .tar.bz2 with tar xvpjf that is only 162MB ? [05:48] YankDownUnder: I found two things that may interest you. Essentially the messaging is broken. Something called Dolphin (rather than Nautlius) seems to work better with CIFS shares than does Nautilus. You test that out... [05:48] Fobax: just a personal hate lol [05:48] Fobax: i even turn off aero in 7 [05:49] can't say I've ever used win 7 (or even vista) [05:49] YankDownUnder: hmm, the sentence should have been: You can try testing that out. (new keyboard, sorry) [05:49] Fobax: vista need to be burned but 7 is nice [05:49] win 7 is pretty solid [05:49] vista was a$$ [05:49] greezmunkey, I'd love to, however, that would entail a mass migration for me (here at home) and then all my clients - no can do. And yes, I've been trying for the past few days to find a fix for this, and it all appears to boil down to simply gvfs [05:50] classic microsoft every second release bug [05:50] anyway, I'd still like this bug fixed... Any suggestions on where to report it or look for duplicate bugs? [05:50] Fobax: this is how you install vista heh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjB1XzayjtA [05:50] !bug [05:50] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [05:51] gogeta, installing vista is not a fix [05:51] Fobax: video is vista and paper shredder [05:51] Vista doesn't even come under the heading of "Operating System" - more like "Missing Operating System" [05:52] having a problem with Empathy, if anyone has a suggestion. I am trying to get the icon back in the box. The green speech bubble icon has started showing up rather than staying in the messaging indicator/applet as normal. I figured out to make a new empathy.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ which adds "Chat" back to the indicator, but as soon as Emapthy opens, the icon pops back out onto the panel instead of staying in the [05:52] box. [05:52] miststlkr, I have empathy for no one (pun intended) [05:53] gogeta, heh, awesome [05:53] Fobax: and when the shredder jams heh [05:54] Hi! Can you help me? I'm trying to write data in a swap partition in C [05:54] When you say write data, do you mean mount the swap for the os to use? [05:54] because you can't use swap as a place to store files [05:55] YankDownUnder: Yikes, man. I wish I had an answer for you on that. [05:55] Nop, I'm trying to put data in the swap partition... [05:55] Data without files [05:55] swap has one purpose. [05:55] I know that I can't use swap to store files... [05:55] swapon /dev/[partitionpoint] [05:55] greezmunkey, hehehehehe...yeah - so do I - however, it's now a puzzle that requires solving. Either the community will resolve the issue, or I'll have to think of a quicksmart way of resolving it myself (more than just a few computers/servers to deal with - like way more) [05:56] Wife swapping, or memory swapping? [05:56] Is for a class propose [05:56] I need to use a partition (swap for example) for put data... only data, bytes... [05:56] YankDownUnder: slim chance, but perhaps I can help. I came in after you asked though, mind repeating? [05:56] I'm not interested in write files, only brute data [05:57] l8r [05:57] nafiux: Um, dd if=inputfile of=/dev/devicename? [05:57] You'll overwrite any sort of partition on the device, though. [05:57] #pocoo [05:57] Has anything changed regarding apt's handling of build-dep in 10.04+? On 9.10 I can pull down nearly everything I need between installing build-essential and then build-deping gcc, but on 10.04 I can't seem to get gcc's build dependencies installed. It just never installs anything and I haven't installed them myself === mdel_ is now known as mdel [05:57] hi ,all Is there a spice client for ubuntu 10.10 64 bit ? [05:57] Also, you shouldn't do that to your swap partition unless you want to crash your server. === bcao_laptop is now known as MikeCao [05:58] Ok.. i need other swap partition [05:58] Actually, you shouldn't do it to any mounted partition unless you want to crash your server and/or delete your file structure. [05:58] No, you need another blank partition. [05:58] miststlkr, There is an issue with Nautilus/Gnome browsing SMB shares on a network. There is a Dbus error that spits forth precious little information. It turns out to be a gvfs issue, and one must upgrade to gvfs-1.6.4 in order to resolve the issue. However, if you try to just force the install, you break everything that uses gvfs. Ergo, updates are out of the question, and a different resolution has to be found. :) [05:58] and the S.O. do not use this second partition [05:58] You don't want another swap partition, you want another partition. [05:59] But unless you're doing advanced file structures, you could just write to a file instead of a device. It works equally well. [05:59] ok, other partition... but, can I write data without filenames? [05:59] bobthemilkman: i think he can use dd to dump to a image file [05:59] I can't use files... [05:59] Well, you can write data to /dev/[nameofdevice], which is a pseudo-file that points to a device. [05:59] I need to write bytes in a partition (new) [05:59] Question: I understand there is a way for us to put Unity on Ubuntu. Anyone know how to do that? [05:59] ok [05:59] !unity | nUboon2Age [05:59] nUboon2Age: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [05:59] nafiux: A file is just a sequence of bytes. A device is just a sequence of bytes. [06:00] You can put a file in a partition in a device. It's the exact same. [06:00] Well, almost the exact same. [06:00] histo [06:00] But I need that the system don't know the filename [06:00] nafiux: need to write data to swap??? [06:00] Well, run gparted, create a new partition, and then use dd of=/dev/[newpartitionname] [06:01] You'll be writing bits to the new partition without any use of files on the storage medium. [06:01] :o [06:01] Keep in mind, though, that /dev/[partitionname] is itself a pseudo-file used by the operating system to point to the device. [06:01] what type of partition? ext3? ext4? or without type [06:01] Doesn't matter. When you start writing data to it, it will override the partition type. [06:01] Yes, I know that all in linux are pointers... [06:01] YankDownUnder: Sorry... as I said, chances were slim, but it was worth offering [06:02] nafiux: if you want raw data dump to a image file grab the hex brake down to assembly [06:02] miststlkr, Your "empathy" towards my conflict is well noted, my friend! Beers on me tonight! :) [06:03] nafiux: whont be mutch use other then you did it [06:03] But it still seems much easier to just of to any file within a partition, than to a partition itself. [06:03] But I need write data every moment, I can't dump to a imagen and next grab the hex... [06:03] I'm not sure I understand the purpose of your homework. [06:03] So after an update none of my tool bars will start. No xorg logs entries nor message. Any thoughts on where I can find info on the problem? [06:03] ok! :P the purpose Is: [06:04] nafiux: i dont see a point in this but whatever [06:04] YankDownUnder: I was just looking into what it takes to "remove" Nautilus, and still keep the system operating properly...I understand now why you don't want to do it. === deepakk is now known as dkannan [06:04] I need to make a server that save data from a user, but the server can't know the filename... the server need to write raw data, in a partition and return the start position of the data to the user [06:05] and next the user need get the file from the server sending the start position and lenght of file [06:05] greezmunkey, Hehehehehe...yeah - lovely that, eh! As I said, now it's a "puzzle" to be solved...not merely a problem...hehehehehe...yet another reason to make sure there is beer on hand for this... :) [06:05] nafiux: so you need to do it to a file not the entire partation [06:05] nafiux: You can use a file as a partition. [06:06] bobthemilkman: whont the system still see the file after dd clone it [06:06] good morning. [06:06] Well, here's what you can do. [06:06] But I need to use a partition (for example a pointer to /dev/hd3) [06:07] dd if=rawdatafile of=/dev/[partitionname] [06:07] Can I write data with: fopen("/dev/partitionname")? [06:07] Then you'll have the contents of rawdatafile at the beginning of that partition [06:07] ok!! [06:07] Yes [06:07] alright all, guess tonight isn't my night to get help. I have to jet and get some dinner in me. cheers all, and better luck with your issues! :-D [06:07] But you might as well just write the contents of rawdatafile to another file, not another partition. [06:07] Wow! I want to read about "dd" command now... :) [06:07] bobthemilkman: well he said they cant see the file but still be able to remake it [06:08] I mean, you can do dd if=/dev/sda1 of=$HOME/partitionimage [06:08] And then you can edit partitionimage instead of /dev/sda1 [06:08] gogeta: I mean place a file in a file. [06:08] bobthemilkman: of he can brake it down to base64 hehe [06:08] YankDownUnder: About the only common thread I can find to side step the issue is to use midnight commander, mc or the like to move files to and from shares. [06:09] bobthemilkman: then its just raw code in a test fine [06:09] text [06:09] Create a file that contains, for example, 0000FFFF0000FFFF [06:09] yes... [06:09] Or rather, 0000FFFF0000EEEE [06:09] Where FFFF and EEEE are the contents of different files [06:09] ubuntu 10.10 update, desktop lost all toolbars. Anyone help debug it? [06:09] nafiux: well if you can use a file base564 is easy [06:09] base64 [06:10] And then your user needs to remember the positions 0x5 and 0xC. [06:10] But you can do that with an actual file, not with a partition. [06:10] The data works the exact same way. [06:10] ok bobthemilkman! [06:10] You only need to use an actual partition to do this if you're worried about access times or are developing a new filesystem, which I don't think you are. [06:10] bobthemilkman: guess i like to cheat [06:11] gogeta, what about base64? [06:11] nafiux: base64 takes files and turns them into raw code text files [06:11] nafiux: used to be a old trick before email attacments [06:11] Yeah, I remember... [06:12] nafiux: then you can reassemble it back to whatever useing a base decoder [06:12] Yes! I'ts good idea, because if the server administrator open the file, he can't read the content easy [06:13] nafiux: just garbeled [06:13] nafiux: code heh [06:13] nafiux: and unless hes relly old school he whont knoe its base [06:13] nafiux: probly assume its some sort of crypto [06:14] yeah [06:15] anyone want to be a dear and save me a few minutes on google? i need a link to a mic-fix [06:15] guide [06:15] hai there, I am using ubuntu 10.10 in acer aspire 4710z. My webcam is detected but I am getting following error libv4l2: error turning on stream: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.

I have a broadcom BCM4321 and it works on Ubuntu, but without any internet connection I'm struggling with getting it on my Lubuntu 10.04. I downloaded the appropriate .deb file but whenever I try to move it from Ubuntu to my Lubuntu partition it says 'error opening file, permission deni [06:44] ed'. I tried sudo cp <.deb_file> /dev/sda5/home// but its saying "no such file or directory", does anyone have any idea on how to set this up?

[06:45] mbergamo: you can use the livecd to get those broadcom things going [06:45] anybody wanna help me? [06:45] gogeta, ps-in on a live cd right now [06:45] modprob: FATAL: could not load (etc...) [06:45] ubuntu and even after a reboot same result hua [06:45] gogeta, yep, several reboots [06:45] SamVib: ask your question and find out [06:45] realeyes: What errors? Do you have any problems after booting? [06:46] realeyes: if you pastebin your dmesg output, it will help [06:46] ubuntu sounds like something whent wrong after it woke up probly something got crupted [06:46] gogeta, anyway to fix it without reinstalling? [06:46] So here's the problem: when I try to boot into the live CD it boots back into windows. [06:46] ubuntu you should be able to invoke fsck from the live cd and check the disk for any errors [06:46] gogeta, i really hate loosing everything [06:46] i will post a pic of the screen [06:46] and when I try to install it alongside of windows I get errors. [06:46] gogeta, how exactly would i do that? [06:46] ubuntu and hopwefully recover [06:47] ubuntu like sudo fsck /dev/sda1 [06:47] gogeta, can i do that from live cd? [06:47] SamVib: did you md5 test the iso you burned? Did you burn slowly? Did you check the CD for defects just after booting the CD [06:47] I burned at the standard. how do I check the md5? [06:47] ubuntu or whatever partation ubuntu is on [06:47] thanks for the help. [06:47] gogeta, i think my hd is /dev/sda or something like that, how can i find out the exact wording for it? [06:47] fdisk -l [06:48] SamVib: if you didn't md5 test, how do you know you iso was complete or consistant?? [06:48] I just burned it using Imgburn [06:48] !md5 | SamVib [06:48] SamVib: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:48] SamVib: you don't, so you need to test it, bad iso will make a bad install cd and need redownloading [06:49] Alright. [06:49] gogeta, how do i unmount it? [06:49] ubuntu shouldent have even got mounted [06:49] SamVib: also when the cd starts to boot, press spacebar and you can test the cd for defects [06:50] ubuntu but might click it unmount [06:50] it doesnt boot at all [06:50] right [06:50] ubuntu should be in your desktop or natuls [06:50] SamVib: ok, did you set your bios to boot cd first? [06:50] yes [06:50] says its clean? [06:51] SamVib: how did you put the iso on the cd? What steps did you take? [06:51] I burned it using Imgburn [06:51] ubuntu it should have threw a scan [06:51] http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9544/imag0003s.jpg [06:51] if i put an upgraded vid card into my ibm's pci slot with unbuntu 10.04 see it or do i have to install drivers first? [06:51] gogeta, it was like immediate that the msg came back [06:51] SamVib: so you never extracted the files from the iso? [06:51] that is what i see after i hit enter on my grub2 screen [06:51] it just was a .iso [06:52] gogeta, i think it did a scan, but it was only one line [06:52] gogeta, says this, /dev/sda6: clean, 227809/6807552 files, 12426786/27225600 blocks [06:52] I also had it installed on a partition, and it rebooted then I hit Ubuntu, and took me to a black screen that said something Grub2 [06:52] hasek79: if you use a proprietary driver currently, remove it. Udev will more than likely pick it up or you can load proprietary drivers for it once you boot with the new card in [06:53] GNU Grub that was it [06:53] Jordan_U, ActionParsnip: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9544/imag0003s.jpg [06:53] SamVib: do you have more than 1 optical. Drive? [06:53] that is what i see when i try to boot my 10.10 [06:53] ubuntu didnt correct anything [06:53] no ActionParsnip [06:53] i dont know what those drivers are [06:53] gogeta, so how do i go about it now? [06:53] I have a laptop ActionParsnip [06:53] ubuntu touch /forcefsck this will make it run hen you reboot [06:54] touch /forcefsck [06:54] sudo touch /forcefsck [06:54] SamVib: ok put the cd in and reboot then press F12 lots, then choose cd to boot [06:54] then i guess i should reboot then, ps---do u have aim? [06:55] alright. I will be back if It doesn't work. [06:55] realeyes: the flash has hidden the important data [06:55] ActionParsnip: i've been on that page once before, but i keep having trouble getting into the restricted folder, which is why i downloaded the package to send over to the other partition. can i change the folder with chmod? and if so what parameters must i put in. thank you in advance! [06:55] wait ActionParsnip boot into the Live cd then f12?

[06:57] ubuntu might have to boot recovery and run sudo touch /forcefsck [06:57] how do you see what your computers spec are? like i want to see how big my vid card is? how would i go about doing that? [06:57] mbergamo: or kdesu doplhin ,for kde (you get the idea) [06:58] hasek79: lshw-gtk for gui, or run: lshw | less ,for terminal based goodness [06:58] It there anyway I can see which programme started a process. [06:58] it just asked me if I wanted to boot it to safe mode and all that stuff.. [06:58] didnt work [06:58] When I login something starts using Python and running my computer's CPU to 100%. [06:58] gogeta, brb [06:59] SamVib: could try using usb. Sounds like a bad disk to me [06:59] Keshi: I think if you run: ps -ef | grep -i python ,one of the colomns should identify the parent [07:00] I don't really have a USB to work with ActionParsnip [07:01] SamVib_: try the cd in another system if you can, or try a usb optical drive if you have one [07:01] hello I am having driver issues any one can help? [07:01] tim: na [07:01] lol [07:01] ActionParsnip: under display is the "bits" how many megs the vid card is? [07:01] I found a USB drive actionparsnip. how would I go about booting from there [07:01] ty. [07:02] hasek79: hes gone again [07:02] oh [07:02] lol poor guy took me sersly [07:02] dang it === Corndawg is now known as Nate_M === pavi is now known as pavi-eat-ananth [07:02] im still learning [07:03] gogeta: please don't make such "jokes" in a support channel [07:04] ActionParsnip: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/417/imag0008o.jpg [07:05] realeyes: not her man [07:05] what? [07:05] realeyes: he left [07:05] realeyes: are you familiar with commandline? if so give this a try http://goo.gl/502Sp [07:05] realeyes: or its another darn netsplit [07:06] JoeMaverickSett: Are you understanding the problem my computer is having? [07:06] realeyes: according to the bug report it's very similar.. [07:06] that link you gave me is all in french :/ [07:06] realeyes: Roll back to the previous kernel? [07:07] uh no. Make my current kernel work? [07:07] realeyes: but you can follow the commands. with google translate. :) [07:07] KB1JWQ: i wouldent being it had a expolite [07:07] can you create a launcher to open the terminal then run a cmd? [07:07] hasek79: yep there called scripts [07:08] how? [07:08] gogeta, hey i figured it out, this ubuntu that u were just talking to [07:08] glitchd: was it crupption [07:08] realeyes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/642421/comments/37 tells you in english. :) [07:08] gogeta, not exactly [07:08] thanks man [07:09] gogeta, i was trying to get my machine to turn off the touchpad while im typing so i had to put some lines into xorg.conf [07:09] hasek79: open your favret text edtior then put your comand in then save it as a sometime.sh then make it excutable [07:09] glitchd: haha [07:09] i need help opening ports for transmission [07:09] gogeta, evidentially what i put was messing with the display manager [07:09] realeyes: but i recommand a backup of initramfs.conf before you do. to be safe. :) [07:09] glitchd: at least you found it [07:10] gogeta, i noticed it said there was a problem at line 14, so i read down to line 14 and jus deleted it until end section, saved and rebooted and bam my desktop came up on next boot [07:10] i need help opening ports for transmission [07:10] hasek79: well save it with whatever name you like you can do multi comands etc [07:10] gogeta, thank you for your help, i thought i was goin to have to reinstall, thats a pain in the gonads [07:10] hxcjonnysniper: are you behind a router? [07:10] hxcjonnysniper: ports - where do you want to open them? [07:11] gogeta, and im kind of a noob at this, so small problems are huge for me to fix [07:11] glitchd: heh [07:11] Then use Synaptic to reinstall initramfs-tools. [07:11] How do I do that? [07:11] apt-get ??? [07:11] guntbert: yeah im on the routers ip address site too. i dont know what to put under trigger port and trigger start. [07:12] realeyes: sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools [07:12] hxcjonnysniper: then port forward on the router, set the pc you are running transmission on to a static ip so that dhcp lease expires don't break the connection [07:12] hxcjonnysniper: it may be ufw blocking said port and notroughter most are upnp these days [07:12] realeyes: sounds good to me [07:12] I was wondering if there are any programs for ubuntu that i can see all ips that connect to me and disconnect from them if needed, I want to use to kick people from my game whenever some1 hacked joins it. TY! [07:12] gogeta, yea nd ive got a super fucked up memory, so even when i learn something, its not long before its gone from my brain.. [07:12] Thanks guys. [07:12] Seems to be working. [07:12] let's say i have a .backup file and i want to roll back my changes by using it, how should i do it? [07:12] glitchd: lol [07:12] realeyes: it works? :) [07:12] One more reboot will let me know. [07:12] hxcjonnysniper: that depends greatly on your router - please look into the router's documentation or ask their support [07:13] realeyes: hehe! i'm crossing my fingers. :P [07:13] hxcjonnysniper: the port is defined in transmission prefs, set that manually too so you know what's what [07:13] gogeta, lol 94 lincoln grand marquis are no good for the brain [07:13] gogeta, especially at 60 mph [07:13] gogeta, lol === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T [07:13] ubuntunoob: do you mean connect to the pc itself? [07:14] actionparsnip:how do i set it on atatic ip? [07:14] glitchd: please watch your language and keep to the topic [07:14] JoeMaverickSett: the file extension doesn't tell you much in linux [07:14] guntbert, ok [07:14] ActionParsnip: or .bak ? [07:14] JoeMaverickSett: how did you make the file, [07:14] yes....so I can disconnect them from my room/game [07:14] gogeta, thx again [07:15] ActionParsnip: no i'm was just wondering if i made a backup file. such as this; sudo cp /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.backup [07:15] JoeMaverickSett: don't worry about static right now, that can come later as well (if needed at all) [07:15] it worked [07:15] now all i see is 'too many connections' [07:15] before it boots [07:15] hxcjonnysniper: use network manager. Right click it -> edit connections. Wired networks. Click auto eth0 and click edit, ipv4 tap change to static ip. You may need to set dns manually so use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [07:15] guntbert: i don't get you. O_O [07:15] JoeMaverickSett: sorry, wrong nick [07:15] guntbert: ah, okie. :D [07:16] Does anyone know how to force the ACCESS KEYS to stay on, instead of only appearing when ALT is pressed? [07:16] hxcjonnysniper: don't worry about static right now, that can come later as well (if needed at all) [07:16] JoeMaverickSett: you can rename a file to anything you want, the extension doesn't change the data so throwing file extensions out does nothing [07:16] ActionParsnip: okie, thanks. :) [07:17] JoeMaverickSett: then delete the current one and copy the backedup file in then match the name [07:17] ActionParsnip: alrighty. btw, is there a standard extension for a backup file? no? [07:18] JoeMaverickSett: if you cp back (in your example) by reversing the 2 filenames, it will restore (good backing up by the way, rollback paths are very professional) [07:18] ActionParsnip: ah, okie. that clears it. thanks again. :) [07:18] actionparsnip:there is no static ip option. [07:19] JoeMaverickSett: there's no standard extension for much in linux, windows uses the extension to identify the file. Linux is more advanced and doesn't care [07:19] ActionParsnip: heh, okie. [07:20] hxcjonnysniper: drop down the dhcp bar and one other option will be dhcp (address only). You may find it worded as 'manual'. I don't know the precise wording and I am not at my pc so I cannot give you EXACTLY what it will say [07:20] JoeMaverickSett: you can rename .png to .jpg and the OS will still see a png file [07:21] ActionParsnip: ah, that i've seen. :) [07:21] ActionParsnip: don't you think that configuring a static ip address isn't exactly urgent for hxcjonnysniper ? [07:22] JoeMaverickSett: similarly, bash scripts don't need unsightly .sh extensions but they do let you know its a shell script, bit its not necessary [07:22] guntbert:my connection is messing up. kind of important. maybe not to you but to me it is. [07:22] ActionParsnip: hhmm, very well explained. :D [07:22] guntbert: just avoiding in future saying the link doesn't work when dhcp does a number on him [07:23] hxcjonnysniper: ActionParsnip: sorry, I was obviously misreading (thinking about transmission ports ....) [07:23] Im trying to install netbook remix on a netbook that i just got, and it seems to be stuck at "preparing to install" does anyone know how long it should take [07:23] guntbert: its early :) [07:24] Paul__12: did you md5 test the iso you transferred, [07:24] no, im not sure how to do that [07:24] Paul__12: then the iso may have been damaged as you haven't checked its health [07:24] !md5 | Paul__12 [07:24] Paul__12: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:25] I play Diablo2 and I play their open servers where people can join my game via my pc, but I want to be able to remove/disconnect people i want out of my game, any idea on any programs for ubuntu? [07:25] Paul__12: bad iso will cause bad install experience and will need redownloading [07:26] ubuntunoob: if you are the server you can kick whom you wish, its built into the game [07:26] yeah thats what i thought too, so i redownloaded it and followed the directions on the ubuntu site [07:27] hey peeps has anybody worked with awesome on ubuntu karmic? iam trying to get it to read my config file.. and it won't.. [07:27] i asked there too... they all asleep or ignoring me [07:27] in awesome channel.. [07:27] Is there a program that shows to-do list on a ubuntu desktop? [07:27] Paul__12: test the iso, if its ok, we can try different stuff. Torrents add extra checking in the torrent protocol so can help get a good image [07:27] not built into the game, I need the ability to kick there ip addresses from being connected with me... [07:27] i am trying to get it to put my apps in cetain tags and my background to be set.. [07:28] oh so try torrenting it?

I'm wondering whether it's quicker and less risky than a release update to 10.04?

[07:54] i cant see the printer [07:54] sureshot, it was a joke. Sorry. To be fair, the kernel already has all the requirements to leverage multicore AMD CPUs, there should be any need for recompilation [07:54] but i can see my windows [07:54] elleryss: sorry, I assumed you wanted to use a printer that you made accessible in windows with ubuntu - forget my question please.

[07:59] allan8904, have you tried ? [07:59] nuckable, it looks like garbage here too [08:00] i doubt it's the server, cause it works fine on the box itself, so it's gotta be something about putty [08:00] newbie--: I'm trying to remember how I set up samba access... ;) what happens when you access the ubuntu box via its ipaddress? do you get asked to enter a username and password, or does it timeout?

Like the one with the down icon (on your screenshot), the page name, "mozilla firefox", minimise maximise and close [08:10] alright, i'll give that a try thanks for your help guys <3 [08:10] airtonix: i think it might be part of the window decoration [08:10] allan8904, thats not the top bar... it s called the window manager frame [08:10] airtonix: ok then....window manager frame :) [08:11] allan8904, nothing to do with firefox. and if you're not running compiz or openbox then you can't remove window frames per application [08:11] airtonix: can you point me to where?

[10:03] Jordan_U: yes to both, thanks [10:03] DigiSAS: if yes, just right click on cutecom and then select "Add this launcher to panel". same goes for minicom. [10:03] https://launchpad.net/~adamkoczur/+archive/gtk1.2 [10:03] there's a ppa it seems [10:03] tapas: but we must admit is uses outdated technology like gtk1.2 and only OSS (no ALSA) for sound output [10:04] randomparticle: Try booting without the noefi parameter. [10:04] how do i upgrade using a local .iso file????????? [10:04] tapas: it does work with OSS emulation of ALSA, but it blocks the soundcard for other sound apps [10:04] qzt1827: that's ok [10:05] qzt1827: my soundcard allows multiple opens :D [10:05] DigiSAS: if no, then right click on Applications, and select "edit menus".

[10:06] there's no video without video=efifb [10:06] qzt1827: and it's a pity that the OSS emulation doesn't do software mixing for all apps.. [10:06] unfortunately, there are millions of different kernel argument permutations :) [10:06] i tried to talk the alsa devs once into letting me try to implement it [10:06] they would not have it [10:06] 你好 [10:07] cool thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10:21] ok [10:21] user81_: delete some files .lock [10:22] cong06, hm, not sure. would have to check. but i think it is not advisable to disable it, because the beep is useful in case of real errors. i don't believe that i have to disable the system beep fully just to disable it on nautlilus [10:22] what happens to BIOS calls when EFI booting? i notice quite a few bios irq warnings in amongst the kernel messages, mostly relating to the SATA controller. thanks [10:22] Benkinooby: true. I'm just not sure how to approach that since I've never heard of nautilus system beeping on deletes.

I need help with recovering my files from the live cd [10:25] julie3 go ahead [10:25] Hey guys, can you use windows drivers for the printer? Or do they have to be linux specific?

[10:28] Benkinooby: actually, that link seems useless. idk? google's not turning up anything? [10:29] cong06, i always google before i ask here... ofc i keep on googling [10:29] ;) [10:29] cong06, atm i am purging nautilus and reinsalling ti with fresh configs... maybe it helps [10:29] it didn't work... [10:29] Benkinooby: let me know. [10:30] y [10:30] Morning (or evening) guys. [10:30] Having troubles [10:30] i have ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. it can only be run in low-level graphics mode. should i convert to xubuntu or lubuntu? which one "looks" better and is low on resource-consumption? [10:30] ш for Lubuntu [10:31] I [10:31] Ok I still can not figure out why my alps touchpad does not work on Ubuntu 10.10 [10:31] I've set some files to g+w (-rw-rw-r--) chgrp them to 'mygroup', but owner is mike. I've added another user 'bob' added him to ehd group, but he still does not have permission to write to these files? [10:31] cong06, i even followed http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/23/how-to-turn-off-the-annoying-system-beep-in-linux-debianubuntu/ without luck.... [10:32] MikeH: chgrp, chmod [10:32] Benkinooby: tried modprobe -r pcspkr ? [10:32] does anyone know how i can access files on an unrecognized hard disk with a live cd? [10:32] wechat, yes, I've chgrp -R ehd . and then chmod -R g+w . [10:32] Any ideas?

[10:36] ie. /home/bob/sites -> /sites/ [10:36] then /sites/somesite/ -> /home/mike/sites/somesite/ [10:36] Benkinooby: it's the system beep from your terminal that is annoying you ? [10:36] MikeH : gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > set advanced permission > you will see everything in rwx-style [10:37] bob just goes to /home/bob/sites/somesite/ [10:37] wechat, I do not have X installed. [10:37] g+w should be sufficient, shouldn't it? [10:37] lestat, i set the beep to visual there so it just blinks what is ok for me. it is nautilus that drives me crazy! [10:38] MikeH: true-lish [10:38] Benkinooby: a ok :\ [10:38] wechat, '-rw-rw-r--' suggests that group permissions are working ok, anyway? [10:38] lestat, i am really deparate right now. i really tried everything. [10:38] desperate [10:39] MikeH : files or folders? without x you can't open folders then try rwX [10:39] wechat, files [10:39] I can read them [10:39] I just cannot write them [10:40] give us ls -la [10:40] I just did [10:40] all the files are -rw-rw-r-- [10:40] and group of them?

[10:43] hi guys i am trying to setup a network boot [10:43] but i have a problem [10:43] julie3: e2fsck [10:43] the problem is i have the tftp server setup with the files need but it not booting [10:43] if i have a drive that i'm currently not booting (i.e. i have a couple of partitions that i'm keeping data on but nothing else), is it definitely safe to install grub on it? (that is, i don't risk messing up my existing partitions by installing grub to the mbr right?) [10:44] MikeH : links doesn't follow the rights probably === _Nertil is now known as Nertil [10:44] wechat: what do you mean? [10:44] MikeH: what are the rights for tomato?

[10:45] wechat: but i did fsck while the disk was mounted and that's what caused it to break, i think [10:45] julie3, fsck is delicate and depending on how you use it you could corrupt your disk i had my disk corrupted by that once [10:46] obengdako: so it could erase the whole disk? [10:46] julie3: something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/529261/ [10:47] julie3, do you really have important stuff on your harddrive [10:47] wechat, lestat : lol `newgrp` didn't do it. [10:47] Logging out and in did :D [10:47] MikeH: there are differnet groups -- try everything from the beginning [10:48] obendako: school files that are quite important [10:48] right [10:48] last thing [10:48] MikeH: have you restarted X ? [10:48] lestat, no X, but logging out of ssh and back in again solved it [10:48] MikeH: well that's what i told you first .. :p [10:48] user81_: dpkg --configure -a [10:49] lestat, I thought you said newgrp would do the same :P [10:49] julie3, hmmm the disk should be still be recoverable [10:49] next thing [10:49] How do I stop files the new user creates from being inaccessible to me? [10:49] setuid? [10:49] MikeH: yeah it should have, have you run newgrp ? [10:49] obengdako: i might try a systemrescuecd when i have a cdrom at hand [10:49] tried all of those, the same error keeps coming up; dpkg, aptitude and apt won't allow any commands except dpkg-reconfigure - which doesn't work either [10:49] setuid is unsecure [10:49] MikeH: but it will apply the new group only to the shell in which you run newgrp, not globally, for that you need to relogin [10:49] lestat, embarassed - no just newgrp :( [10:50] wechat, is there another way? [10:50] wechat, I don't want files another user creates being inaccessible? [10:50] user81_: failsafe mode to try [10:50] MikeH: change your umask to prevent access to new files from other users [10:50] wechat: what do i do after i have done e2fsck? [10:51] lestat, my point is, say 4 users have access. 1 creates a new file, and I have to manually chgrp and chmod g+w it so everyone can see it [10:51] lestat, surely there is a way for this to be done automatically? [10:51] MikeH: chmod 700 file [10:51] I thought this is what setuid was for [10:51] MikeH: aaah i see [10:51] Hi ... How are you? .. I have a problem after the installation of GNOME Shell - Hundreds of windows opened up automatically - I can not do something .. Do you have a solution .. .. ? [10:52] julie3: Just run "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdXY" and make sure it's not mounted this time. [10:52] wechat, I think you misunderstand. I'm worried about not being able to access new files [10:52] not restricting it [10:52] julie3, please if there is an exact error message that could help please paste it here so we can see the exact problem so everyone can know how to start [10:53] MikeH: you need sgid bit on parent folder + correct umask [10:53] <_Geri_> hi, i heard there is a new windowing system in ubuntu. its compatible with X? (like.. a program who are using some xlib, will still run)? [10:53] lestat, there are several levels of directories, so I need to sgid just the top one? [10:54] hi guys [10:54] I have a question [10:54] is there any way to burn a blu-ray in Ubuntu? [10:54] wechat: It seems to be solved by deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/nl.archive* [10:54] julie: first read man e2fsck ; read man http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_tune2fs.htm [10:55] MikeH: like umask 770 and make the parent folder owned by you:group and 2770 on the parent folder, then your file should create with proper perms [10:55] mattwj2002, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning [10:55] user81_: there can be Uncomplited downloaded files -- I deleted them all last problem with dpkg [10:55] I need to generate some RPM files to run under centos, are there tools available to build them on my ubuntu box? [10:56] MikeH: every directory you want to create files in with proper permissions need the sgid bit, newly create folder will inherit the sgid bit iirc, but you need to set the sgid bit on existing folders [10:57] thanks c0nv1ct [10:57] :D [10:57] can I install mongo db on ubuntu dapper 6.06? [10:57] those drives really have dropped [10:57] :) [10:57] itguru: apt-cache search rpm ? [10:57] mammut: loooool still using dapper ? omg [10:58] lestat: Still supported. [10:58] MikeH: is it good ? [10:58] jpds: really ? [10:58] lestat: Yes. [10:58] didn't know [10:58] jpds: still much more insecure than new release, like no ssp/aslr etc right ? === Ill_ is now known as Illuminatus [10:59] Hi ... How are you? .. I have a problem after the installation of GNOME Shell - Hundreds of windows opened up automatically - I can not do something .. Do you have a solution .. .. ? :) [10:59] lestat: Potentially. [10:59] jpds: ok thx :) [10:59] here is the other question [11:00] would blu-ray burning be possible over usb? [11:00] lestat, no joy :/ [11:00] MikeH: you must be doing it wrong, i use that very often and is working great [11:01] MikeH: do you need this urgently or can it wait after lunch ? :P [11:01] Hi [11:01] lunch? [11:01] what are we having? [11:01] it is 5 am [11:01] :D [11:01] MikeH: i could guide you further if you like [11:01] lestat, that would be great if I don't get it sorted [11:01] mattwj2002: here it's 12:00 [11:01] I'm trawling google atm :P [11:02] I figured just teasing ya [11:02] MikeH: you set proper umask + owner and group + perms on parent folder and every subfolder ? [11:02] Sorry, anybody working with Bt4 ? [11:02] MikeH: it's the 3 important points [11:02] How do I run xsane in debug mode, console shows nothing? [11:02] MikeH: going now, cya [11:02] so what do you guys think? [11:03] bluray burning over usb work? [11:03] obengdako: e2fsck fixed it [11:03] julie3, great good job [11:03] has anyone got the snow effect on compiz to work under 10.10?

[11:26] mk0: good - probably in nano it is so -- good question [11:26] hello there..anyone knows an iTunes equivalent app in Ubuntu? [11:27] redvil: I don't know of one that will interface with iTunes [11:27] redvil: there probably won't be one until Apple releases iTunes for Linux (heh. heh. heh.) [11:27] hello firends [11:27] ectospasm: i already use rhythmbox for the mp3s but i need one that supports file transfer [11:28] redvil: from what to what? [11:28] ectospasm: thanks anyways..it's just that i've been 'googling' like crazy and couldn't find one [11:29] redvil: "support file transfer" is too vague, transferring from what device to what device? [11:29] ectospasm: i can transfer mp3 files from Ubunt to iPhone..but not other files..like pdf and lit files [11:29] i have a file .avi 500 mb on the penrive , is there a way to decrease the size of this video to give more space on my pendrive? [11:29] redvil: gtkpod might be able to do that [11:29] ectospasm: ok then, i'll give that one a try..thanks [11:29] sorry ...i have a file .mpg 500 mb on the penrive , is there a way to decrease the size of this video to give more space on my pendrive? [11:29] wolf23: convert it to a compressed format [11:29] wolf23, you could use a video editor to reduce the size [11:29] Hibernate(Suspend to disk) is not working. How to fix it? [11:29] redvil: always when googling crazy, nothing can be founded -- try to read attentionasly one site by another [11:29] wolf23: or *more* compressed format (-; [11:30] wechat: did that too..it seems that there really is no iTunes equivalent app for ubuntu [11:30] ectospasm, sorry the format is mpg.. how could i solve this plz [11:30] wechat: might try gtkpod for file transfers other than mp3s [11:30] Hey guys. Did anyone have issues with conky having Winsow Decoration apllied to it? And adding an exception for conky doesn't work? [11:31] Window** [11:31] wolf23: find a format that has a better average compression ratio. Or move the .mpg from your thumbdrive [11:31] redvil: aTunes BUT it is not the newest iTunes style [11:31] ubuntu_every_ONE: what does your conkyrc look like? [11:31] Ubuntu should have multiple channels. [11:31] and one more question: years ago i had a gui music player with button "go to now playing song". very useful feature, i can't remember what player it was. does anyone know? [11:32] wechat: aTunes? is that in synaptic? [11:32] no no no [11:32] Hi guys, I'd like to know if there's -or will be- a 64-bit version of UNE. I'm getting an Asus 1215n which comes with the Atom D525 which is a 64-bit processor :) [11:32] mk0, not that i can think of sorry man :( [11:32] redvil : I don't know anythin 'bout gtkpod sorry [11:32] dariocravero: does it have >4GB of RAM? [11:33] rudi, 4GB [11:33] rudi, if the file is 500mb how could i decrease it to be less size [11:33] rudi, actually it comes with 2 but I can upgrade to 4 (which I'll do as soon as I get it since I've already bought the modules) [11:34] mk0: http://www.atunes.org/?page_id=6 deb will be good for г [11:34] dariocravero: hmm, not sure if there will be 64bit version, but you could install a vanilla copy of 64bit Ubuntu onto it install the UNE extras over that? [11:35] wolf23, what version of ubuntu are you using? [11:35] wolf23, afaik 10.10 comes with a video editor preinstalled [11:35] rudi, well, I actually did something like that on my desktop :P I only installed the unity package though, is there anything else to it? Like some power management stuff or anything? [11:35] use that to try reduct the size [11:36] dariocravero: tbh, I don't think so. I'm running vanilla ubuntu on my netbook (I couldn't stand the UNE interface) and I haven't noticed any difference in battery life at all [11:37] rudi, great then :) [11:37] rudi, I'll go with that and let you know what happens :P [11:37] dariocravero: cool stuff :) hope it goes well! [11:38] rudi, it will! ;) btw, didn't you find that unity made the whole thing really slow? [11:38] how i make apt-get remove command ignore "couldn't find package name" errors. i want "if the package doesn't exist, then don't remove it amd continue with the remaining commands" [11:39] rudi, because it can be hugely improved by upgrading to kernel 2.6.36 in ppa [11:39] rudi, 10.10 [11:39] rigved: does it have a -f force command? [11:39] rigved: apt-get remove file || apt-get [11:39] how to install OpenEMM .tar.gz package [11:39] rigved: || - means continue when error [11:40] rudi, afaik is a video program? [11:40] sagaci: no [11:40] awanti: first `tar -xvzf OpenEMM.tar.gz` and read all the INSTALL files there [11:41] wechat: so - sudo apt-get remove || [11:41] rigved: wait I gonna use the `for` command [11:41] ok. retried efi booting into initramfs with latest x64 maverick kernel [11:41] without "noefi" screen goes blank and stays blank [11:42] with "noefi" it boot to initramfs, but keyboard isn't working [11:42] hard to know what to do at this point [11:42] rigved: ` for i in $(cat packages-to-delete-list.txt) ; { apt-get -why remove $I ; } [11:42] could i insert an initramfs script that would help diagnose this? [11:43] i can't type any diagnostic commands due to the mentioned lack of a working keyboard [11:43] wechat: this is a shell script, right? thanx [11:43] what's a util i can use to simply set the background of X to a color? without using an image that is [11:44] js_: xsetroot [11:46] so i just login via ssh, it tracked my on a log. with $last ; however when i run ssh user@x.y.z.y cat file ; it did not show a log. why? [11:46] meatbun: is it not in /var/log/syslog? [11:46] rigved: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529289/ [11:46] maedox, let me check [11:47] maedox, ops.... where is syslog on fedora? [11:49] meatbun: not sure. don't think it's a file as on ubuntu [11:49] rigved: I used to make so : for a in `dpkg -l | grep kde` ; { sudo aptitude -y purge $a ; } [11:49] hey all, how does one get one of the /etc/init.d/ scripts to start at boot time? [11:50] it seems there is a command update-rc.d but it is confusing with legacy info versus current approach [11:50] « update-rc.d script-name defaults » or supply start stop levels with priority like this: « update-rc.d script-name start 80 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . » [11:50] !upstart | acuster [11:50] acuster: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:51] well, that's a whole different game, no? [11:51] acuster: in any case, what exactly do you want to start at boot time?

[11:53] maedox, i think it's call /var/log/messages but can't confirm. no read access to it [11:54] acuster: if there is no corresponding file in /etc/init/ then you can just do it how you used to (with update-rc.d. Actually you were never supposed to use that as a user. Instead use something like sysv-rc-conf). But you should read the documentation. Maybe it's just configured not to start with something like /etc/default/slapd [11:54] meatbun: I don't think messages contains what syslog will on ubuntu, but I'm not sure. there is a /var/log/secure on fedora which shows login sessions created.

[12:01] i have heard metacity is lighter than compiz [12:01] meatbun: yeah :D [12:01] rigved: Go to preferences -> Appearance and disable desktop effects. [12:01] wechat: i know but when i try to add HOME it tells me it cant [12:01] meatbun: yes - I have the problems with compiz and dpkg and kernel - so I used to say Alpha is not for work - but I DO like fresh packages anyway [12:01] maedox, i put a 'history -c' on my .bashrc, for 'exit' alias [12:01] hi [12:01] mary : make screenshot [12:02] .clear ban [12:02] theadmin: i am ubable to do that because my old laptop always loads "low-level graphics mode only for this session".

[12:05] mary: why not to choose add launcher with a comman like that probably `nautilus ~` [12:05] mary: nautilus /home/mary [12:05] theadmin: it's a Intel Graphics 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [12:06] wechat: tried that as well it doesnt work, but i just found out: open nautilus in home and drag the icon onto the panel [12:06] that works [12:06] nautilus will open your home by default [12:06] cya [12:06] mary: good :) drag'n'drop [12:06] i'm trying to preseed an installation of lucid [12:07] but whatever i do, i get prompted for questions [12:07] and especially about keyboard and i also get an error about invalid hostname [12:07] i've tried passing parameters to the kernel through tftp, but still no avail [12:08] theadmin: ok. so i will run this command from the terminal while i have the dekstop environment loaded, right? or should i reboot in CLI?

[12:24] very thanks [12:24] theadmin: thanks, worked a treat :) [12:25] kmiksi: yeah awk works too, cut is probably very slightly more efficient, but then again you could chop the var up inside bash for more efficiency [12:26] kmiksi: tbh, you should check out #bash -- they're very helpful [12:27] ahri: thanks, really [12:27] ahri^: Well, to be precise "du" is not a bash built-in.
