[02:26] not found [02:26] SpartanGreen, I'm not seeing anything [02:26] graphitemaster: what part of sudo apt-get purge google-chrome (didnt you get) [02:26] you speak french fluetly... [02:26] Blue1: easy there... [02:26] Blue1, Virtual packages like 'google-chrome' can't be removed [02:26] chien: I do.

Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [02:28] sorry it very interisting.. [02:28] ZykoticK9, you asked me if it worked; i said no it did not that was unacceptable.. [02:29] Virtual packages like 'google-chrome' can't be removed [02:29] graphitemaster, details? error?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [02:30] graphitemaster, sorry i can't help - good luck. [02:30] my god. [02:31] ZykoticK9: sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable The following packages will be REMOVED: google-chrome-stable* Q.E.D. [02:31] fi: type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then hit enter [02:31] graphitemaster, see Blue1 above [02:31] Blue1, it leaves nothing behind? [02:31] fi: Enter your password when it asks for it. [02:31] i know how to check integrity of package with md5sum...(if the content is same so the package is ok) but how to get work with asc file like on the firefox package, what should i do? [02:31] is there a DVD iso for 10.10? [02:31] fi: then wait. this is gonna take a while. [02:31] rchavik: yes [02:31] Blue1, all browsing history and everything goes, settings, and entries to where ever? [02:31] with microsoft windows there is is a option that allows me too change tcp ip settings. by default the dns is automaticly defined. but my isp requires me to insert a specific ip. how do i do it in ubuntu? [02:32] graphitemaster: it might leave conf files, but the binaries are gone. [02:32] medibuntu..! [02:32] the package "oss-compat" in maverick is broken. [02:32] im trying to get a recursive listing of only the directories. I typed "ls -Rd" that is the only thing i see that would work and all i get is a "." [02:32] valentino_tuga: Right-click on your networking icon in the top bar, then click edit connections. [02:32] graphitemaster, if you used a package manager (or deb) for Google Chrome - you can always search through "apt-cache search chrome" to find the name. [02:32] ZykoticK9, i tried, nothing showed up [02:33] pipegeek, did you report it? [02:33] it says its already a new version [02:34] fi: Already at the current version? Then you should have the ms truetype fonts installed. [02:34] thanks canthus13 [02:34] valentino_tuga: no prob. [02:34] LoganJRuff: I will do that now. The problem is that the kernel alsa-oss compat layer is not being built for maverick kernels, and all that package does is ensure that those modules are loaded. Particularly bad since the package description says it's meant to solve the "cannot find /dev/dsp" problem for confused new users.... [02:35] xangua, only through direct downloads? no torrent?

[02:56] for torrent downloads i mean [02:56] maginot: time-saving. there's no problems with the gui. i just don't need it for my purposes [02:57] if is some problem you could try vga mode, wich is suppose to work since it uses vesa driver for xorg === geezenslaw is now known as geez [02:57] ilab, if its time saving you could change the distro and repack, there is a link on ubuntu wiki if you want I could pass to you [02:57] maginot: sure [02:58] is there a channel for courier?

[03:01] have you addressed that already [03:01] maginot: your sure there isn't a boot option for command line interface on the livecd?

[03:09] john38, don't seens to be any critical problem, maybe is something related to plymouth and kernel kms driver [03:09] maginot, im on 10.10 maverick [03:09] john38, to deep to start investigating right now, since its just an eyecandy [03:10] john38, I would start on logs, dmesg, searching for something on kernel boot process, when it goes trhough KMS driver, and get display information [03:10] acalbaza: do a sudo fdisk -l to see all your partitions and how they are allocated.. then do a cat /etc/fstab and compare the two.. the one that is active is the one listed in fstab [03:11] is there a channel for courier?

[03:16] maginot, could it be that my resolution is too high [03:16] sarge1221, iptables is on kernel, so it is chown in log and dmesg. [03:16] john38, yes, very probably, good if you could test with lower resolution [03:17] so is there a channel for courier or can somone hlep me pls? [03:17] Shiron, courier imap? [03:17] maginot, whats the normal splash resolution?? [03:17] maginot, 1280X1080 [03:18] john38, that the idea of plymouth, it makes the boot start with a native monitor resolution using the kms drive so there is no flickering when gdm (x) starts [03:18] maginot, yes and pop [03:18] maginot, i am not programmer [03:18] Shiron, so no! this is ubuntu channel... I'm pretty sure must have some courier channel.... [03:19] Shiron, #courier [03:19] oh then i was just blind sry [03:19] maginot: great so in the process of fixing one problem i have compounded it into a security problem is that what you are trying to tell me?

[03:21] maginot: Okay i am not sure what you mean. Are you saying i need to delete that line out? [03:21] Scunizi, restart networking i'd imagine, probably a reboot is easiest actually [03:22] Scunizi, actually, it might be instant [03:22] maginot, actually my bios screen has black border around it too any idea on how to take up full screen? [03:23] ZykoticK9: sudo service doesn't work for networking.. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart does. [03:23] ZykoticK9, Scunizi just edit and save the file [03:23] nothing more. [03:23] maginot, not the bios just the bios splash [03:23] Scunizi, ya - it works instantly for a host i added (not localhost mind you) [03:24] Mint has overwritten my grub2 bootloader menu from Ubuntu [03:24] john38, yes, splash screen is a plymouth problem. not the boot loader splash screen which is grub problem [03:24] maginot: done.. 127.0.0.1 localhost .. is listed.. however when I http://localhost/Joomla/ for the installation files the system actually wants to "save" a file.. using 127.0.0.1/Joomla/ however works.. any ideas? === [1]q_plaz is now known as q_plaz [03:24] How can I get back the Ubuntu bootloader menu [03:25] maginot, yes but now im talking about bios splash screen any idea on how to fix that??? [03:25] maginot, maybe off topic [03:26] is there a linux program to replace webcam video with an image? [03:26] john38, i've never heard of a BIOS customizable splash screen, i imagine that would be expensive as a feature [03:26] You can generally flash any bios to have a 16 color bitmap image [03:26] However, if you flash it, and break it, your fault :) [03:26] john38, that is something very normal, because many display mantain their default resolution [03:27] ZykoticK9, weird isnt it bios splash doesnt take up full screen [03:27] maginot, how do i fix that [03:27] maginot, or alter it? [03:27] john38, and since bios is 640x480 many things it doesn't fully expand [03:28] Are there any tools for type English for non-English ubuntu users ? [03:28] john38, search in bios, search in the monitor. If you can't find gave up you will not be able to change that [03:28] maginot, im just talking about graphical screen that tells you to hit DEL to Enter Bios [03:28] hello. [03:28] can gedit be configured to automatically run a certain command every time a file is saved? [03:28] john38, yes I got that [03:29] ? [03:29] maginot: okay I am getting the post removed [03:30] Can anyone fix a grub2 bootloader problem [03:30] maginot, maybe its the DVI interface [03:30] i've enabled all the repositories included in /etc/apt/sources.list, yet I can't install http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/libdbd-oracle-perl, even though it's listed. [03:30] any idea how to get it installed? [03:30] maginot: how do i get terminal to do line numbers so i can go by a specific range? Also maybe some advice on other ways to clean up this mess? [03:31] baldpatches: what exactly your problem ?? [03:31] john38, on that stage of boot only two things are working: The bios and the Monitor hardware itself (the bios use the graphics card, which its hardware too) [03:31] stephenjudkins: what your error messages when you installed it ?? [03:31] black mint has replaced my ubuntu boot menu after installing updates [03:31] sarge1221, well, that was from dmesg wasn't ?

[03:32] maginot: yep [03:32] baldpatches: are you using dual boot with mint and ubuntu ? [03:32] sarge1221, so that is the kernel ring message buffer, it function is to print kernel messages. [03:33] sarge1221, when you reboot that start all over [03:33] black: no I have 9 Os [03:33] stephenjudkinsz: are you want install source packages ?? [03:33] maginot, i used this to fix weak splash plymouth http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [03:34] baldpatches: wow.. it's great have 9 os.. i just 2 os installed [03:34] right now I was going to tell sarge1221 about http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dmesg#Removing_netfilter.2Fiptables_messages [03:34] he quits *arg* [03:34] baldpatches, to replace your original ubuntu installed grub2 (instead of Mints grub), you need to boot into your ubuntu install and reinstall grub to the MBR, then run update-grub to rescan for available bootable installs (hopefully Ubuntu will see Mint, does mint see ubuntu currently?) - to boot into the OS on your Hard drive you need to do a chroot first - see the !grub2 factoid's link for details. good luck. [03:34] black I updated grub in ubuntu but still get mint boot menu on boot [03:35] john38, did you tried changin mode_option? [03:35] baldpatches, (most likely) whatever OS/Distro you installed last will be installed on the MBR currently - you need to reinstall ubuntu's grub, before the update-grub will work. [03:35] maginot, yeah i did [03:35] poop [03:36] maginot, should i set it to desktop resolu [03:36] black How [03:36] !grub2 | baldpatches [03:36] baldpatches: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:37] black thanks [03:37] baldpatches, why do all your messages begin with "black"? [03:37] baldpatches: grub2 on ubuntu placed configuration on grub.cfg under /boot/grub directory [03:37] hi all , are there any english input tools for non-english spoken people? [03:37] maginot, oh i did [03:37] yes its called a interpeter [03:37] john38, well, yes. If you expect to not have any borders you must set the full monitor resolution [03:37] 1920x1080 [03:37] they are offered by the UN [03:37] ZykoticK9: i don't know why ... [03:37] maginot, its still border [03:38] Running VirtualBox 3.2.8 and a Ubuntu 10.0.4 vm... was working fine and when just booted up got GNOME power manger installed incorrectly contact admin.... any ideas? [03:38] won't allow login [03:38] black, oh, I didn't realize it was a nic... [03:38] baldpatches: but, not recommended to modify by hand, instead modify configuration file under /etc/grub.d [03:39] ZykoticK9: but, on my xchat, it was not begin with black.. [03:39] maginot, should i set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" [03:39] maginot, to 1920X1080? [03:40] ZykoticK9: do you know why ... ?? [03:40] black, sorry - why what? [03:40] john38, what is the output of this command: cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes [03:41] Zykotic9: you say if my messages begin with black... [03:41] john38, use a pastebin site for showing that [03:41] Hello. When I installed KILE on Gnome, a lot of KDE libraries were installed as well.

[03:42] how could i use the find command to find all .jpg and .png ? i have find / -name "*.png" which works by itself, but i don't know the correct patern format to matchin multiple extnesions [03:42] user, you can try using foremost on it if the driver can't be mounted [03:42] ZykoticK9: ok..thanks much [03:42] user: spinrite is also good [03:42] is there a way to grab a git repo if `git clone` is unable to connect? [03:42] what are you doing now. [03:42] ok weree do i find those programs [03:43] hey guys [03:43] john38, that are the default resolution of uvesafb module [03:43] user: google [03:43] maginot, what? [03:43] sileni: hey.. [03:43] i'm using gnome ubuntu and is there anyway i can set the windows key to open up a terminal [03:44] right now all the keyboard shortcuts use it as a modifier it won't let me set that key alone as a function key [03:44] i tried xbindkeys and it is not working either :\ [03:44] sileni: if you could you'd lose all of it's other modifying behaviors [03:44] maginot, what does it mean? [03:44] thats fine [03:44] sileni, the "super" key as it is know in linux world, is typically used for some stuff already (i don't know if it's a good idea to change that one) [03:44] i don't use windows key for anything else [03:45] wait [03:45] it works [03:45] Buttons840, find -iname "*.jpg" -o -name "*.gif" -o -name "*.png" -print [03:45] this doesn't make sense [03:45] sileni: i'm not so much understand it, sorry can't help too much [03:45] maginot, should i change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line to 1920X1080 [03:46] sileni, if you run compiz does the super key combo still work? or did they just break? [03:46] john38, well, you could try. But for what it show on the cat command result will not work. [03:46] what super key combo? [03:46] maginot, then i wont [03:46] Buttons840, use -iname or -name for Not Case sensitive and for case sensitive search [03:46] sileni, super+e is expose, there are many more [03:47] maginot: thank you, but i can't find this -o switch on the man page? [03:47] Ubuntu keeps opening .zip files in Comix [03:47] expose still works [03:47] but it also opens up the terminal as i have set it up to [03:47] how do I change it besides the "Open with..." dialoh [03:47] sileni, neat - does it open a terminal too? [03:47] g [03:47] maginot, what that link did was fix my weak startup screen and weird shutdown info [03:47] sileni, yup ;) [03:47] but on the newer installs of ubuntu it won't let me setup opening the terminal as just the super key [03:48] it has to be some kind of combination [03:48] maginot, then i just added splash theme [03:48] Buttons840, yes, you can. Its all around in the examples. [03:48] sileni, that makes sense really - programs expect that key to do something - and you're changing it ;) [03:48] maginot, some kind of problem in 10.10 [03:49] john38, maybe. Do you had this working before? [03:49] who should I hand out ubuntu 10.04 to? [03:49] bill gates? [03:49] psycho23, only people that want them ;) but it's OffTopic for this channel. [03:50] john38, and an important question, are you using proprietary vendor drivers, like for nvidia/ati cards? [03:50] maginot, yeah with all my 10.10 machines [03:50] maginot, both computers using Nvidia restricted drivers [03:51] How could I remove every KDE library and application from Ubuntu? [03:51] dox_drum, Not sure, but I'd love to know as well. [03:51] dox_drum, apt-get purge kde* [03:52] then apt-get autoclean [03:52] hey guys can you take a look at this and maybe give me a hand on this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10101011#post10101011 [03:52] !puregnome | dox_drum [03:52] dox_drum: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [03:53] nice [03:53] thx graphitemaster, xangua [03:55] I'm having 2 really big problems: The laptop I am using is a Gateway MX6426, it has some function keys overlaying uiopjklm.0987 the functions correspond to a 10-key layout. the issue is its using the 10-key layout by default. All 6ther function keys require the fn key to be pressed to enable them, these keys have to be escaped by the fn key [03:56] * maginot going back to work. [03:56] anyone? [03:56] secondly my trackpad won't work after resume, even though I've reloaded every driver I could find for input devices in modules.aliases [03:57] Dwade09: well I'll take a look. I need at most 1.3 minutes [03:57] Maahes, have you tried replugging the trackpad ? [03:58] thank you psyco23 [03:58] psycho23, * sorry for the mispell. [03:58] problem 1 makes it impossible to type, It's only been about 30 mins and my left hand is already cramping [03:59] lapion: what do you mean replugging [03:59] Dwade09: well, I'd suggest upgrading your system, through the package manager. it may not even be a problem. try opening up a terminal and typing: df === mitch_ is now known as Guest26161 [04:00] hello [04:00] I've got a new computer with an i3 processor, when I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 I got ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso - is this okay? don't I want an intel, not amd one? [04:00] Dwade09: actually use this command: df -h [04:00] lol [04:00] no [04:00] psycho23, http://pastebin.com/EsFbmBrT [04:00] I had used an earlier ubuntu on this machine, and the trackpad was still an issue but not the function keys [04:00] Maahes, how is the tarckpad connected to the system ? [04:00] add5t56na33y th5s 5s what 5t 3662s 352e 5f 5 d6n't esca*e 2eys [04:01] psycho23, http://pastebin.com/1khHE8MT [04:01] maahes turn off the numlock function [04:01] lapion: its embedded in the laptop chassis [04:02] zed thhe iso you have should work fine... [04:02] cheers Guest26161 [04:02] lapion: there is no numlock key on this board [04:03] Maahes, there is one hidden under the fn+f1-f12 keys [04:03] Dwade09: yeah your system sees that you have ~469GB on your drive. It's an error with the GUI/software-that-gives-the-size. The only suggestion is a bug report that gave you the '127TB' number or try upgrading the packages of your ubuntu system to see if that fixes the false reading of the size of your drive. [04:03] however if you are installing it on a laptop I would recommend checking out SUSE... [04:03] Maahes, there is a small button next to the "trackpad" that turns the trackpad on and off [04:03] oh.... that's stupid. It's the scroll lock button [04:04] Maahes, that's not stupid you'r === guerrilha_radio is now known as dtcrshr [04:04] sorry.. just had to say that [04:04] psycho23, it is not a big deal but is really annoying lol, thanks ill see what else i can get on the forums before i upgrade my os. [04:05] Dwade09: actually I'm wrong. The ~469GB is for the partition that your ubuntu is on [04:05] okay, there is no phsyical restart key for the trackpad though [04:05] Maahes, there is the enable/disable key on most modern trackpads [04:05] Dwade09: try this command: fdisk -l [04:06] lapion: this is not really a modern trackpad, this machine is a few years old [04:06] no such command psycho23 [04:06] hi, i'm trying to install virtualbox on lucid, and i'm getting an error saying that the kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-21-generic cannot be found [04:06] Dwade09: k. I need at most 1 minute. [04:06] and it's a gateway, which is = [04:07] =\ this machine is very easy to overheat and cause it to shutdown [04:07] when i look at the log, it tells me Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without [04:07] Makefile:159: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR= and run Make again. Stop. [04:07] does anybody know what's wrong? [04:07] literally running one of the Avernum games (which are pretty lowtech) causes it to shut down. [04:08] who can help me ??? [04:09] Dwade09: I'm not on ubuntu. My solutions are going to be kind of weak and extraneous, what you need to do is find a command that can show you your size of your hard drive so that you'll know if you computer can actually see the actual size of the drive versus the program that gave you the 127TB reading. [04:10] Dwade09: the best command I know to get the size of a hard disk is `fdisk -l` and that would require that you probably go like this to find the package it's in: apt-file search fdisk | egrep 'fdisk$' [04:10] i want to run two programs at once from the console, such that ctrl+c sends a signal to both of them [04:10] psycho23, it was not a command it was just right clicked on the file system and hit properties. [04:10] ideas how? === root is now known as Guest57274 [04:10] root [04:11] Dwade09: I know, but the program that gave you that number '127TB' might be buggy...or it might be the Linux kernel that's buggy. YOur problem is finding out what software is responsible for outputting this erroneous message. Or you could try a system upgrade via your system package manager. [04:11] psycho23, if i did a system upgrade would i lose all data on the hard drive? [04:12] stephenjudkins: there are only jobs. CTRL+C only stops the foreground process that has taken STDIN. Go to #bash [04:12] Maahes, 1 try to run your fingers along the edge of the "trackpad" your will find something resembling a pushbutton with maybe even a led.. [04:12] Dwade09: No.. [04:12] stephenjudkins: you may want to save the PID numbers of the processes that you start and then somehow capturing CTRL+C to `kill -TERM $both_pids` [04:13] psycho23: yeah, looks like that's what i'll have to do [04:13] psycho23, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/585472 and thank you wmpotato [04:13] Dwade09: oh no no! hahaha no it's a security update with upgrade to packages [04:13] Maahes, 2. most laptops that overheat, overheat because they are being suffecated, try not using the laptop on your lap , also it's not a good idea to use a laptop on your bed or couch, any uneven surface with cloth.. [04:14] what signal does ctrl+c send? [04:14] kill -TERM 231122 #CTRL+C sends the TERM signal [04:14] or 'termination' [04:14] or 'terminate now' [04:15] Maahes, 3. when people tend to suffocate laptops too much, the cooling system tends to inhale too much dirt and cannot cool the system anymore [04:15] `man kill` [04:16] Maahes, 3b it's a good idea to power off the laptop and give it a thorough cleaning, removing all dust builtup.. [04:16] My laptop had a bios that let the software control the fan, i never had the software installed, as a result, it would constantly overheat. :( === Kyoku is now known as Kaizen [04:16] What's the easiest way to get sound playing on my Ubuntu computer (i.e. rhythmbox) to output to my Windows 7 computer? (i.e. with pulseaudio streaming) [04:17] undecim: you could try mpd with streaming, but it's not "easy". It's not awfully difficult though. [04:18] undecim: it does have the advantage of you being able to control it from any number of devices. My ipod, laptop, internet tablet all have mpd clients [04:18] I was hoping for something like a windows 7 pulseaudio client... [04:18] I guess a cross-over cable and a couple servers [04:18] but if you're gonna do that you're gonna have to rebuild the kernel [04:19] do which? [04:19] psycho23, how do i do the upgrade again? i go to? [04:20] i have a computer with intel core i5 cpu it says 64 bit, should i install ubuntu 10.10 32 bit or 64 bit even though it is intel and not an amd 64 bit? [04:20] Dwade09: I can't remember, and I think it depends on if you're using gnome or kde. you want to find a link somewhere on your desktop through system settings or something to "upgrade packages" I don't know ubuntu is much different than my personal distribution [04:20] Maahes, the thing you call a trackpad is actually a touchpad, a trackpad is what you run on in a gym [04:21] i did update package manager but it is empty [04:22] Dwade09: then most likely the latest software you have installed that outputs the '127TB' is probably just buggy, or who knows, maybe your hard disk is 127 terabytes lol :] [04:23] omfg psycho23 if i did have a 127TB internal hdd i would go stir crazy bloody mad i would not even know what to do with that much space. [04:24] so can i install 32 bit ubuntu 10.10 on a computer that is a 64 bit with a intel core i5 [04:24] ghostnik11: yes. [04:24] Dwade09, naah you would probably fill it up in a couple of days.. [04:24] ghostnik11, yes. [04:24] howdy guys. I'm trying to install ubuntu in an old laptop without cdrom, will not boot from usb and cannot get net-install to work [04:24] Dwade09: that is true, my bad. [04:24] is there any way to install ubuntu from windows when there's no free disk space? [04:24] gnea: i thought they would be like a performance problem, so I will go with 32 bit [04:25] lmao i doubt it lapion i am having a hard time with this one now. [04:25] jubei, try wubi installer method === histo_ is now known as histo [04:26] its all good psycho23 its just a visual bug no harm really. thank you for trying so much. [04:26] Dwade09: nnooo visual bugs, it means that the system is all screwy [04:26] I'm off to bed [04:26] aww poo. [04:26] psycho23: if I were you I'd uninstall the program/package that has the program that gave you the 127tb [04:27] whoops [04:27] and the truth comes out [04:27] lol, yeah ill look for the thing that is installed causing it from what those two forums said. [04:28] I swear if I installed an OS and it can't even give the right size of my hard disk [04:28] I'd be...I'd be............pissed!!!! [04:29] ubuntu eating 1 gb memory while only xchat firefox & chromium are rumming [04:29] can anybody here teach me how to use tcpdump? [04:29] AbhiJit, or you are just seeing cache [04:29] psycho23, and then you find out that bodily fluids go faster then light, lightning, electricity and light... [04:29] maginot, ??? [04:29] What's the best way to ask about why certain kernel options (CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE et al) were disabled lucid => maverick? [04:29] should I file a bug report? [04:30] Barber01:i would read the manual [04:30] tcpdump -w -i eth0 [04:30] AbhiJit, there is nothing eating memory, probably you are just seeing 1gb used and can't know the diference between cache and active memory [04:30] tcpdump -w test -i eth0 [04:30] man tcpdump [04:30] psycho23, they said the bug is most likely with proc/kcore [04:30] erikkk thanks [04:30] maginot, system monitr showing me 1 gb [04:30] hi. [04:30] hi [04:31] can anybody here teach me how to use tcpdump [04:31] I felt I had to piss, I ran out of bed like lightning, turned on the light switch , but when the light turned on I found it was all in vain: to late.. [04:31] AbhiJit, use top command and see what is cache. [04:31] ok [04:32] 770924k cached maginot [04:35] AbhiJit, you see, 770mb are actually cache. =) [04:35] hullo. i installed ubuntu netbook edition on my eee and i hate thr interface. how can i uninstall un [04:35] maginot, what is cache? i dont want cache how to avoid it? [04:35] ubottu: memory | AbhiJit [04:35] AbhiJit: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [04:35] what's the proper channel to go through to ask about why changes were made to a given package, and to request that they be reverted? Does that count as a feature request or should I write hte mailing list? [04:35] AbhiJit, try sudo -i [enter] followed by echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [04:35] ok [04:36] I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens! how do I install it? I'm on a i3-530 on Asrock P55Pro-USB3 [04:36] lapion, what does it do? [04:36] AbhiJit, cache isn't a bad thing, is there to help, and makes part of modern operation systems. [04:36] AbhiJit, it clears all buffers caches.. [04:37] maginot, rww lapion ok. thank you. [04:38] pipegeek, #ubuntu-devel [04:38] AbhiJit: thank you. [04:38] AbhiJit, but there is no need to do that.. the system usually maintains a good buffer/cache ratio for your system [04:39] lapion, yeah [04:39] hi i am trying the wubi installer and i put it with an copy of ubuntu 10.10 x86 (same folder) and instead the wubi is installing ubuntu 10.04 amd edition should i just let it do it and then take care of ubuntu upgrade to 10.10 later [04:40] i need a program to convert and burn .avi files to dvd [04:40] AbhiJit, cache is a way to keep the memory there available if is need making things loader faster, so I would like to keep that.... (OT one of the best things that darwin kernel do is cache) [04:41] maginot, hmm ok [04:41] has anyone here had any trouble with the kde plasma desktop "ruberbanding" plasmoids i.e. I move/resize a plasmoid and it bounces back to its last state???? [04:41] i need a program to convert and burn .avi files to dvd [04:42] Anyone else tried dual booting Ubuntu and Gentoo with GRUB2? [04:42] so i guess i should just let the wubi installer install ubuntu 10.04 even though 10.10 is better, is there a way i can tell it to install ubuntu 10.10 32 bit or 64 bit [04:42] yes [04:43] Jp brasero will burn an avi into a dvd on its own [04:43] is there a way to enable restricted drivers from cli? [04:44] hi all, i need some help with MBRs [04:45] trying to install an MBR to a USB key and then dd it out into a file [04:45] but, i keep getting errors when i try to do this [04:45] r3sno: jockey-text program, in the jockey-common package [04:45] root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sdc1 [04:45] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).

[04:47] dustin_, actually, just trying to have the MBR as a file [04:47] r3sno: Yes. Jockey is the name of the "Additional Hardware" program in Ubuntu's GUI. jockey-text is the text interface to it. [04:47] building up my system now [04:47] might stick with win bootloader [04:47] ah, thanks rww ill give it a spin and let you know [04:47] deker I have never been able to make a successfull copy myselfe tried several times [04:47] so if i have the ubuntu mbr as a file, i could just add it as an entry [04:48] dustin_, i think i may just try to install ubuntu off this live cd and in advanced options, stick the mbr onto a usb key [04:48] deker I just always keep a live system ready for that sad day when I need to fix grub [04:49] yeah dustin_ i hear ya [04:49] let me start the install and see what happens [04:49] deker smoking HDD was one of those realy sad days..... [04:50] rww: ah very nice :) it seems to be on the money [04:50] I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and gnome 2.30.2, I have two monitors and they're configured as seperate X sessions. How do i change the background on one or the other? if i right click the desktop and chose change background image, the same image is applied to both screens. I want a different background on each monitor [04:50] ty [04:51] talon is your vid card ATI? [04:51] no, nvidia [04:51] hmmm [04:52] talon I have mine set up with ati catalyst maybe see if Nvidia has a symiler [04:52] eye kant spall toda [04:52] i got two seperate X sessions right now just fine, i know they're seperate cause I got the gnome panels all different n what not.. I like having them seperate but i just want a different bg for each screen. [04:53] Talon_ so just so I know I am on the right page, if you set BG on one it X-fers to the other right now, correct [04:54] sorry, my web browser crashed, again, I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens! how do I install it? I'm on a i3-530 on Asrock P55Pro-USB3 [04:54] yea [04:54] either screen if i right click the desktop and chose change background, it changes both to the same simotaneously [04:55] man mine never gave me a problem wiht that but then again I put plasma under Gnome.... [04:55] dissconect [04:57] Talon_ I am sure your not a KDE guy but plasma desktop widgets would be one way you could get your desired result [04:58] :P [04:58] Hello..? [04:58] anyone? [04:59] hello [05:00] Talon_: for gnome, there is no way you can have separate wallpapers, even if the X displays are different [05:01] rdw200169 so Gnome no and kde/plasma yes? [05:02] I just want to make sure for future reference === lol is now known as Guest63865 [05:02] my system is pretty ....well ............. customised now [05:02] any help with my problem? I tried to install Ubuntu 10.10, got to the Ubuntu screen with 5 red & white dots, then got a black screen, and nothing happens! [05:02] zed_ X session failed to load [05:02] dustin_: Talon_ well, there is an options in Gnome for a spanned wallpaper, which should go across both screens [05:03] hi === robin is now known as Guest2574 [05:03] dustin_: what do you mean? [05:03] zed_ are you on a seperat computer from the one that failed to load? [05:03] dustin_: Talon_ i know it works in 10.10, but i can't vouch for any other version of Ubuntu... regardless, you can reference this for more information: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147808 [05:03] dustin_: yes [05:04] oh well that sucks. [05:04] can I resize my hd1 partition with gparted? or will I have to use live cd and unmont the hd1? [05:04] ty rdw200169 [05:04] zed_ on the computer that failed to load fully press ctrl+alt+F1 [05:04] dustin_: Talon_ so, what you can do is find/create a wallpaper that is large enough to 'fit' across both screens [05:05] they aren't stretched, its the same image scaled on both screens, its duplicated, not stretched across both [05:05] which is why i figured i should be able to set the different backgrounds [05:05] rdw200169 or you can install kde packages and enable Plasma desktop to run inside of Gnome session... [05:05] Talon_: right, have you checked the options available to you Appearance Preferences -> Background, you're looking for the style dropbox... [05:06] zed_ does it put you at a terminal? [05:06] dustin_: dunno, haven't tried Plasma... [05:06] dustin_: it's rebooting now, one moment [05:06] rdw20169 I am running that settup now thats why I was hopefull that Gnome could do it natively [05:07] its on stretch, either way once again if i change it to span or whatever it affects both screens, but they both show the entire image, its not streched across both screens... my screens are seperate X sessions tho [05:07] Plasma+Gnome = happy me [05:07] dustin_: no, no change [05:08] zed_ so when it stalls you cant press that button set to get a terminal... that stinks [05:08] zed_ how old is the machine you are trying to install 10.10 on? [05:09] dustin_: brand new, I did install windows 7 on a seperate partition [05:10] zed_ just so I can be clear you are trying to run the live boot and not the installer directly right? [05:11] dustin_: sorry, what do you mean? I downloaded the iso, put it into my computer, restarted, and it came up with the ubuntu logo and then a black screen [05:12] zed_ when the disk first starts to load it should have options " try Ubuntu without making changes" or "install ubuntu now" [05:12] zed_ did you just let it run out the timer? [05:13] dustin_: no it just comes up with the ubuntu logo and the 5 dots [05:13] hmmm [05:13] I am thinking mayby a bad copy [05:13] hi [05:13] is http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/#downloads available in Ubuntu repository ? [05:13] dustin_: it starts with a little cannonical logo down the bottom, then the ubuntu logo === rbniknej is now known as squishy [05:14] dustin_: I tried the i386 iso, but it didn't boot off of that [05:14] kaushal, i think no [05:15] AbhiJit: Any specific reason why its not available in the repository ? [05:15] kaushal, dunno ask in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-devel [05:15] zed_ well 10.04 is still out there and its the LTS "long Tearm Support" release you may have better luck with it [05:16] kaushal, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro [05:16] dustin_: alright I'll have a look, thanks for your time [05:16] !latest > kaushal [05:16] kaushal, please see my private message [05:16] zed_ no prob [05:16] bazhang: Thanks [05:19] is /etc/network/interfaces the place to configure a wifi connection via cli?

I mean is the system detecting your wifi? === Jay_ is now known as randall_ === randall_ is now known as randall84_ [05:26] I need help with a small issue. I'm running maverick netbook remix. The menus that are suppose to be at the top left hand corner(system, places, and applications), aren't there. How can I fix that? [05:26] logan_wolf: yep, wifi detected just cant connect [05:27] r3sno, try editing the wifi connection and changing the connection from either infrastructure to adhoc or vice versa depending on the current setting. [05:27] randall84_ did they just disapear or were never there? [05:27] randall84_: im using cli [05:27] jmadero, were never there [05:27] taskbar there? [05:27] r3sno, have you been using different mode of connection with the same computer [05:28] logan_wolf: yep, ethernet. tried turning it off. no change [05:28] r3sno, :P that causes the problem [05:28] oh the netbook remix doesn't have those, sorry [05:29] forgot, don't use it very often, so you won't see those on the upper left corner, look at screenshots [05:29] jmader0, how do I access those functions then? [05:29] jmadero, would the desktop version work on a netbook? [05:29] logan_wolf: well, not in this case cause i have switched off during the many hours of testing [05:29] on the desktop, those things on the left side, one is for places [05:29] hi [05:29] another is for preferences [05:29] then there is a systems one that you can scroll down and find things [05:30] is there a non alpha numeric character, such as "_" that comes after "z"? [05:30] yes it would but the netbook version is nice once you get used to it, fiance uses it [05:30] instead of before [05:30] jmadero, the problem is that there are things on those menus that I need access to and I don't know how to find them [05:30] yeah they are all there, you just need to figure out the placement in the remix, give me an example [05:30] r3sno, open /etc/network/interface [05:31] and check how many lines are there === pavi_home is now known as pavi [05:31] 4 right now [05:32] r3sno, 2 on top and 2 after a gap of lines [05:32] my init script is giving me an error: unable to set GID [05:32] will someone help me fix?

[05:33] jmadero, is there a way to customize the gui to show those menus? [05:33] someone know how to fix it? [05:33] they are there, just in a different form, the whole point of the netbook edition is to conserve space [05:34] but if you really want them to look the other way, I'd suggest installing desktop version [05:34] it's just not optimized for netbooks [05:34] hi guy's [05:34] sorry what is the topic?/question [05:35] here is a decent screenshot http://lh5.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TFdCCuVrCuI/AAAAAAAABqQ/Pm3GWy368OY/s288/unity-apps-menu.png [05:35] anyone know how to make pp stream work in totem?

[05:40] gogeta: yeah that's the point of it, make icons big without taking up the entire screen space, etc... [05:40] is there any way for me to download a package using synaptic package manager and put the .deb files into a specific directory so i can move it to another partition that has Lubuntu but doesn't have any internet connection? [05:40] gogeta: and even more so conserving verticle space [05:40] jmadero: i can see everything fine on a desktop install on the netbook screen the 1024x600 [05:40] gogeta: fair enough [05:40] my init script is giving me an error: unable to set GID. someone help? [05:41] r3sno, try connecting from gui [05:41] gogeta: I think my fiance likes when things are minimized they turn into small icons vs. the way that regular distro has it, that's one of her bigger likes I think [05:41] kaushal: woh terai ko mysql search kar kai print karaiga... doosrei text chord deiga [05:42] logan_wolf: ok. what app should i run? im running bare bones gnome [05:42] but for his purposes, he can try out regular version if he's that annoyed finding the placement of things [05:42] hi people [05:43] hei [05:43] r3sno, I suppose u r using Lucid [05:44] Does anyone know where to find example .vnc files?

[06:23] chroot /mnt apt-get install grub-pc grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [06:23] I do hope it works! [06:23] ubuntu, dude1 [06:23] chroot /mnt first [06:23] then [06:23] apt-get install grub-pc [06:23] then [06:23] graphitemaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

"chroot /mnt" then "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg". [06:25] graphitemaster: ahh okay i have that posted on my website fwiw: http://pkill-9.com/?p=314 [06:26] I have a 320gb usb hard drive, i've formatted it as ext4, however, when I plug it in, I can't write to it. I've tried adding it to fstab with the option of user,rw and i can MOUNT it as my user, but i still can't write to it. What am I missing? [06:26] I need to move over to Ubuntu from Vista and I need the enigmail on Thunderbird to work on Ubuntu How do I go about doing the migration ? [06:26] -cokay doing that [06:26] I can't write to it whether I mount it, or I let Gnome automount it [06:26] done [06:26] is that it? [06:26] lol [06:26] steev_: newly created filesystem defaults to root:root ownership? [06:27] steev_: what lucent said [06:27] ubuntu: Did you run "grub-install /dev/sda"?

[06:27] installatin finished : no error reported [06:28] steev_: also, I'm still confused about what I fancy to do about that problem, even after years of using filesystems having UNIX permissions on remmovable media [06:28] ubuntu: Then you are done. Try rebooting. === HeimDaLL|OFF is now known as HeimDaLL [06:28] thanks sir [06:28] really appreciate it [06:28] >_< The HD reports that it has used 183 GB and Disk Usage Analyzer says 2GB. Can anyone help? Please? [06:28] ubuntu: You're welcome. [06:28] steev_: easiest fix is going to be chmod 777 the root entity of the mounted filesystem (as sudo of course) [06:29] mmm, i don't want it to be 777, maybe 755? [06:29] steev_: the other way to go about it is just force the omode on mount flags [06:29] steev_: depends how you want to do it, I keep it root:root and set 777 [06:29] logger rl [06:30] steev_: anything I create in the root entity becomes owned by the user that creates it thusly [06:30] logger url [06:30] magn3ts you can mount and view the drive? [06:30] carneiro: something we can help you with? [06:30] rww: maybe it's a cat and not a person [06:30] * lucent waits in anticipation [06:30] rww: how do i see logs of irc ?

[06:32] buntu [06:32] its ubuntu [06:32] steev_: yes, and be careful not to recursively apply 777 unless that is what you want to do, if you mess with lost+found then bad things can happen but probably not [06:33] im booted onto my HD ubuntu installation now, but had to use the livecd to boot onto it, bootloader didnt work [06:33] yeah, i just did chmod 777 . [06:33] guys anybody installed ubuntu on Mac ? [06:34] im on it now [06:34] pain in my ass so far [06:34] lol [06:35] cbill, yes, that's how I know the folder where I put all the data is empty! [06:35] and how I know that ubuntu thinks it had 183GB used when it only "sees" 2GB. [06:36] sort of o/t question, does MSB imply LE or BE or not ? [06:36] hey whats a good iso burner to use? I have tryed gmount and the default burner, neather worked. [06:36] NocturnalGuy: no luck with Brasero ? [06:36] k3b does a lot, i dig it [06:36] Are you sure it isn't the image you're trying to burn? [06:36] hi, i'm trying to run a shell script every time my computer boots, but i need to cd to a directory first. how do i do this? [06:37] boxbeatsy, cd in the script? [06:37] magn3ts what file system is the drive using? [06:37] cbill, ext4 [06:37] lucent: I tryed Brasero and when it got 80% done it gave me a eject error [06:37] cbill, ubuntu default - I installed ubuntu on a new drive and copied data from the bad drive to it. [06:37] NocturnalGuy: there's some voodoo magic kind of stuff you can play with, in gconf settings [06:37] I need help with making a piece of source code i downloaded usable [06:37] magn3ts so you can see the root off drive and backup folder but it is empty? [06:38] magn3ts: aah good point. then, do i just add sh test.sh to the bottom of /etc/init.d/rc.local? [06:38] TheUnnamed, that's a tall order... [06:38] cbill, yes. [06:38] or, do i have to add it inside the for loop [06:38] magn3ts: so this is your primamry drive? [06:38] hi [06:38] why my mplayer can't play video [06:38] boxbeatsy, you probably shouldn't be touching that file if there is a for loop in it. [06:38] ? [06:38] hi [06:38] Im not looking to compile im just looking to be able to view and edit [06:38] I don't know the exact details, but I suggest you start your search with gconf-editor and some google research for methods to make brasero use another burningoption [06:38] boxbeatsy, I don't know how to add something to startup, I just add it to gnome's startup apps [06:38] cbill, no === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 === Peer is now known as Guest60124 [06:38] NocturnalGuy: is that any help? :) [06:38] cbill, I mean, the data is from a friends' primary drive, yah. [06:38] mdkaneda55: can I get k3b from the software center? [06:39] cbill, but the drive the "lost" data is on is a separate drive just for the purposes of this recovery. It's brand new, passes all tests, etc. [06:39] sb who can help me??? [06:39] yep, i think so... otherwise just "sudo apt-get install k3b" [06:39] magn3ts: mmk, thanks! [06:39] lucent: useing voodoo would just be weird to use [06:39] !details | TheUnnamed [06:39] TheUnnamed: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:39] how can i add file extensions to a bunch of files in batch? i want to rename a8 a9 a10 a11 etc to a8.avi a9.avi a11.avi etc? im having truoble with the regexp [06:40] magn3ts ok, so this is a blank ext4 drive with just the backup atm? [06:40] !rename | tom_ [06:40] cbill, it has a primary partition with / then a logical with swap, let me get you fdisk output [06:40] ~paste [06:40] rigved, im having trouble with the regexp [06:41] TheUnnamed, use gedit/vim/emacs/nano? [06:41] llo [06:41] tom_: do man rename...there are exapmles given of regex in it [06:41] cbill, http://paste.ubuntu.com/529814 [06:41] NocturnalGuy: I package cdrtools for Ubuntu in my spare time, but that's kind of taboo in Ubuntu community :( [06:41] we're supposed to use brasero [06:41] I'm attempting to work on chronOS Linux (site link: http://www.chronoslinux.org/) and I can not figure out how to even extract the code [06:42] cbill, the data should be in /home/cole/Liz/new but the directory is empty [06:42] I created a new Private Key and I can see it in "Passwords and Encryption keys" -> "My Personal Keys", and it works fine and all, but I can't figure out how I could export this key so that I will be able to sign E-Mails for example from another computer too. How would I do that? [06:43] magn3ts so, the drive has ubuntu installed on it? [06:43] EvaLuaTe: not familiar with the UI, there's a command to do it from command line [06:43] cbill, yes but I installed it on there, booted it, then recovered the data from the dying drive on it. [06:43] "export secret key to ascii" [06:43] EvaLuaTe: you need to export the secret-keys from the command-line [06:43] lucent, well, that's the command like? [06:43] magn3ts, ok i isee [06:43] oh, sorry no [06:44] EvaLuaTe: I'm just going to read the manual page for 'gpg' command, and search the manual for 'export' [06:44] magn3ts So the data can not be seen but does seem to be occuping space right? [06:44] if you want to do that, might learn something from the experience more than I could just spoonfeeding it :P [06:44] lucent, ok, I'll read the manual, thank you very much :) [06:45] cbill, precisely! [06:45] clear [06:45] clean [06:45] magn3ts you have hidden files shown to make sure its not hidden somehow? [06:45] pro tip, to search a manual when the default pager is 'less' (like it usually is on Ubuntu), you can use forward-slash '/', so it goes: /export (enter key) [06:45] cbill, I'm doing `ls -la` as root. nada. [06:46] xxcx [06:46] cbill, and like I said, Disk Usage Analyzer can't see anything on the disc at all more than 2GB [06:46] who can help me ? [06:46] lucent, also, after executin this command, will I end up with a something.asc file? Because if that is the file, I have already managed to export it like that from the gui program, but that wasn't a big help, because after importing that one on another machine, the program says that I don't have any keys that would allow me to sign e-mails/whatever with them... [06:46] magn3ts this is an odd oe [06:46] !ask > vincent_lee [06:46] vincent_lee, please see my private message [06:47] cbill, like I said, fsck whines about superblocks, but I simply don't know enough about FSes. [06:47] EvaLuaTe: yep! there's private (aka secret) key, and public key, NEVER let anyone get your exported secret key [06:47] magn3ts im no expert either :( [06:47] it's normal to give everyone your public exported key though [06:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/529816/ [06:47] EvaLuaTe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529816/ [06:47] magn3ts is the data still savalagable from the old drive? [06:48] cbill, the drive is probably in pieces in a Seagate dumpster by now [06:48] lucent, hmm. Well, tbqh I don't know if the program exported the private or the public key, but it didn;t work when I imported it on my other system. Anyway, I'll go through the manual, hopefully I'll find something in there... [06:48] magn3ts damn.. [06:48] who was asking about cd burning? found a link to my PPA for cdrtools @ https://launchpad.net/~eshattow/+archive/cdrtools-stable [06:48] starting windows, my acer asked me if i wanted to run system restore. i chose not to, but after rebooting, all i get is "" [06:48] rigved, thank you very much :-) [06:49] EvaLuaTe: you are welcome. [06:49] EvaLuaTe: the manual is huge, I tend to find something interesting in the manual and then google search for a blog post from some helpful person showing an example [06:49] much quicker for me to learn this way, maybe a good tip for you? [06:50] has anyone here dual booted two ubuntu versions b4 [06:50] sorry. all i get is "error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue>". please help [06:51] hello, i have problem installing my usb modem in ubuntu [06:51] fail. which filesystem is it? [06:51] SC-M: plug it into a windows (or mac) machine, does a cdrom device appear on the computer with install files? [06:51] if so... then you're out of luck until the device support gets tweaked in the linux kernel ;) [06:51] so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome? [06:52] lucent: the ubuntu, not mac or windows [06:52] lucent you have experience with grub2 [06:52] faceless_: *maybe* System|Preferences|Keyboard [06:52] I can't figure out what to do with the files im told to get [06:52] lucent: i want to install it in ubuntu [06:52] lucent. i believe it was ext3 or 4. [06:52] there's no response with the debpackage or something wit'it. [06:53] joeoshawa: grub2 and lots of other things where data go boom [06:53] they tell me to get a standard linux kernel source and a patch file i think i need to use the patch file some how but im not sure how [06:53] you have grub2 problem? [06:54] strouthos: there's so many things that could be wrong, I am thinking of at least 15 different kinds of things that could be bad, arh... [06:55] yeah grub2 works for linux install 1 but not 2 [06:55] anyone uses n900 here? i have a question, my home folder of my phone suddenly got no space left, osso rss feed reading taking up almost 100% cpu usage [06:55] what's wrong [06:55] skyfollian: #maemo ? also, reflash time. [06:55] reflash time? [06:55] #theUnnamed [06:55] no doesnt work [06:55] so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome? [06:55] darn [06:56] yeah. [06:56] remember to make a backup to microsd before you reflash [06:56] no other way round? [06:56] how much time do you want to hunt and peck for the tens of things that are screwed up? y'know, just good advice here [06:57] hahaha, good one, thanks [06:57] save time, backup and reflash. I do it pretty regularly [06:57] okie dokie [06:57] lucient here is my grub.cfg [06:57] http://pastebin.com/FAvhbSUV [06:58] thank you for pastebin'ing [06:58] np [06:58] thank you for helping [06:58] hello [06:58] lucent. i see. but i just have my mobile phone to figure it out. ls gives "(hd0) (hd0,msdos8) ... (hd0,msdos1) [06:58] you know what's cool? take a look, is grub's root mounted? [06:58] I am having some problem with package installation in 10.10... see http://paste.ubuntu.com/529419/ ...this error is reported still the package installs... any idea to solve it? [06:59] most Ubuntu installs have grub root as a directory within the root filesystem, btw so it's going to be /boot on the rootfs, or it will be mounted to /boot on the rootfs [06:59] my video devices think my tv card is the ca,era how can iadjust the default device [06:59] can someone please help I think my problem has something to do with a patch file [07:00] fire away [07:00] if i want to have an ubuntu domain controller for windows workstations, do i need both samba and openldap installed? or just samba? [07:00] * lucent waits for offers of money [07:00] lol [07:00] i can pastebin my partitions as well [07:01] lucent. how can i find out? i really cannot google with the phone [07:01] it gave me an option my bro always told me to put grub in the mbr [07:01] strouthos: 'mount' or if your mtab is hosed, it would be 'cat /proc/mounts' [07:01] we want to know if grubroot is its own fs, or just a directory on the rootfs [07:02] that sounds complicated, I can't think of an easier way to say it [07:02] do you understand? [07:02] so how do I make the command key act like the control key(i have a apple macbook pro) in gnome? [07:02] faceless_: really? [07:02] lucent: thanks for the tip. I was wondering if that was all that was needed. so if I want to have backup admins able to restart the script, they must be in the sudoers file...

I have 9 domains and am used to WHM/cPanel. Any good guides? [07:28] how long should a patch file take to apply [07:28] one more question, how can i add modules to be loaded automatically into the kernel? [07:29] I am familliar with centOS and virtualmin/webmin to manage that, but I thought I woudl try ubuntu [07:29] Oh yeah meant to ask, in unity. When I have a maximised app and I click the button on the left bar, it just goes about 25 pixels smaller around the edge. How can I make it hide/show?

[07:32] it will tell you when to pull the stick [07:33] How can I use a 3d-cube with an image as background in Compiz?

[07:52] can someone please help me with making a live usb ubuntu from arch? [07:52] when i'm playing music in Rhythmbox and i close the window, isen't there supposed to be like, a sound menu thingy in the top panel from which i can pause/play and stuff [07:52] richardcavell, correct. but you wanted to know if the build was 32 or 64bit ... not whether your cpu was 32 or 64bit ? [07:52] i am trying to fix my gf asus [07:52] !details | plitter [07:52] airtonix: right [07:52] plitter: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:52] richardcavell: maybe... but it refer to 32 bit architecture [07:52] hello, i've got one question: coult i put this processor into PC (socket 775): http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=31728&processor=T7250&spec-codes=SLA3T,SLA49 ? [07:53] could( [07:53] My CPU is 64-bit. It's an i3 [07:53] localh0st, this is not a hardware channel [07:53] :/ [07:53] richardcavell, thats nice, whats your point ? [07:54] richardcavell: okey..that's right...your system installed is 32 bit.. [07:54] airtonix: Try asking in ##hardware. [07:54] upgrade of 10.04 doesnt work (Reading database ... 257153 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libudev0 151-12.1 (using .../libudev0_151-12.2_amd64.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libudev0 ... and hangs for ten minutes and more... [07:54] Jordan_U, i think you misclicked. [07:54] who marked this stable? doh [07:55] miha: i think maybe better to use pastebin to show your complete output [07:55] miha, lesson learned about upgrades. clean installs are always better. [07:55] blackshirt that's complete output [07:55] airtonix: Indeed. Sorry. [07:55] How do i get the PROPER ubuntu 10.10 sound menu [07:55] it's unpacking it for 10 minutes.. without doing anything with CPU or disk [07:56] I have ip-addres,login and password for VPN server that gave me internet,how can I establish vpn channel to this VPN server? In windows I just have to enter this data into "Wizard for network connections" and thats all, how can I do this in linux with openvpn? [07:56] MacGyverNL, "proper" is subjective... if you mean "default" for lucid and maverick then you need to app the Indicator Applet back to your panel . [07:56] blackshirt i dont care, but you'll have to teach users how to delet dpkg lock and dpkg --configure -a to restore [07:56] I am trying to fix my gfs asus, it had ubuntu 10.10 netbook before, but the mic didnt work so we tried a lot of stuff... long story short decided to install ubuntu again. and the installation goes ok until it stops saying something about not being able to config apt. I have an arch system but i dont know how to make a live usb ubuntu from it. Someone know how? [07:56] wait, i got it [07:57] added the indicator applet again [07:57] Fancy that [07:57] miha: what you mean with delete dpkg lock ?? [07:58] now how do i get rid of that other volume control thingy i was told to add from the terminal [07:58] elkng: Configure it in System > Preferences > Network Connections, in the VPN tab. Depending on the VPN you may need to install the Network Manager plugin for that protocall before it will show up. [07:58] miha: are you using do-release-upgrade with root priviledge ? [07:58] MadCarburetor, killall gnome-volume-control-applet [07:59] Does anyone know if Lightzone is any good? [07:59] MadCarburetor, if that doesn't work don;t worry because it won;t be there next time you login [07:59] I have a brand new Windows machine that is giving me very flakey Internet connectivity. I have a Realtek NIC built into a Gigabyte motherboard. I've connected it via a 30 m Ethernet cable to a router. I can't get Windows 7 to connect to the Internet in a stable manner. I've booted into ubuntu just to test the hardware and it isn't connecting either. Can someone help me to try to get online within Ubuntu to see if my hardware is [07:59] working? [07:59] ok [07:59] thanks [08:00] richardcavell: i think, Realtex NIC works on ubuntu [08:00] richardcavell ? if you normally get an ip address from your adsl modem via DHCp then you should already be connected when you plug the ethernet cable in [08:01] airtonix: well the router's set up to serve DHCP and it works with Mac and my NAS and other people's computers. But my Ubuntu session is not online [08:01] richardcavell, a live usb or livecd i assume ? [08:01] airtonix: yeah I just booted from the 32-bit live CD [08:02] richardcavell, and you're obviously not typing from it right now... (and therefore can not give useful lspci pastebin outputs ) [08:02] airtonix: no I have to retype on my Mac [08:03] richardcavell: are you getting an IP address from the router? [08:03] richardcavell, can you see what lscpi shows you? does it list ethernet, or network device ? if so then does ifconfig show a device with a ip address you are used to seeing ? [08:03] collosi: I don't think so. How would I know? What do I type into the command line in ubuntu? [08:03] richardcavell, first type : lspci [08:03] denysonique, should i name the server a my main FQDN or a sub of my FQDN? [08:03] for hostname [08:04] lspci shows me Realtek SemiConductor Co. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller rev 03 [08:04] among other things [08:04] richardcavell, ok then what does : ifconfig [08:04] denysonique, like websrvr.domain.com or just domain.com [08:04] anyone know what openvpn[5569]: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [undef]:1194: Address already in use means? netstat -pant shows nothing on port 1194 [08:04] airtonix: I might pastebin it. It'll take me a minute [08:04] why are errors so cryptic and unuseful in computers these days [08:05] how do i make my vim remember the last position i was in a file? [08:05] if the error says port 1194 is in use... and netstat -pant doesn't even display any number resembling 1194, what is that supposed to mean? [08:05] i can draw circular squares that are both circles and squares? [08:05] left is right.. up is down [08:05] richardcavell, also, you might want to check the network socket... if there are lights and they are blinking fairly rapidly then you most likely have an ip address from your router [08:05] if i remove compiz completely from my ubuntu 10.04, then will it cause problems? will metacity be used by default in this case? [08:06] richardcavell, the network socket on the ubuntu machine that is [08:06] nvrmind.. [08:06] airtonix: yeah, it's blinking lights at me === Peer is now known as Guest39438 [08:06] http://pastebin.com/je0WkWzD [08:07] richardcavell: No, yes. [08:07] richardcavell, ok ubuntu also has a bonjour client installed so you can communicate with your mac machines fairly easy. [08:07] richardcavell: Sorry (again). [08:07] rigved: No, yes. [08:08] richardcavell, what happens if you run this : sudo service network-manager restart [08:08] airtonix: network-manager start/running, process 5155 [08:08] richardcavell, and the icon in the panel ? [08:09] Hi, I'd like to mount a network drive on a folder. Ubuntu does it when I go to network and click on it but then I can't find the path on a terminal. Can someone tell me how to mount automatically (when avaiable) the hard drive into a folder ? [08:09] airtonix: What icon? I have a wireless icon that keeps cycling (my computer has no Wi-Fi device) and when I click on it it gives me a menu including 'Auto eth0' [08:10] lollan: add it to /etc/fstab, run a cronjob to check the availability [08:10] richardcavell, the network connection icon in the top right of the screen, when you left click it. does your card show up ? [08:10] llutz_: any tutorial on that ? [08:10] richardcavell, have you tried left clicking auto eth0 ? [08:11] bonjour a tous [08:11] j'ai un petit soucy avec le son sous ubuntu 10.04 avec gnome [08:11] airtonix: It says 'Wired network disconnected' in a popup thing [08:11] lollan: cifs-share or nfs?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [08:12] zai [08:12] richardcavell, it's not getting a DHCP reply. === zhang is now known as Guest94601 [08:12] airtonix: well there are about 6 other machines connected to that router [08:12] including the Mac that I'm currently typing on [08:12] richardcavell, is your router setup to only allow certain computers to connect ? [08:12] airtonix: no [08:12] I've checked that [08:13] And this Windows machine does work, sometimes [08:13] Sometimes it dosn't work and sometimes it does [08:13] llutz_: i don't know to be honest, It's written Windows shares, if that can help [08:13] richardcavell, do the others use addresses like 192.168.1.0 or 10.0.0.0 ? [08:13] and I can spend hours on IRC trying to fix it but it's random [08:13] #ubuntu [08:13] airtonix: my Mac currently has 192.168.1.100 [08:14] richardcavell, ok on the ubuntu machine try this (assuming its an address thats not already used ) : sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.249 && sudo ifconfig eth0 up === jan is now known as Guest64720 [08:15] arquijuv [08:15] richardcavell, if you can ping 192.168.1.1 after than then there is something funky going on with your router or the network card [08:15] lollan: thats cifs. add a line like: //server/share /your/mountpoint cifs noauto,credentials=/home/you/cred.file,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 to /etc/fstab (change it to your situation) === ross is now known as Guest6720 [08:15] airtonix: okay I just typed that command [08:15] no reply just a prompt [08:15] richardcavell, it most likely wont give you one.. next try : ping 192.168.1.1 [08:16] i am trying to boot up a ubuntu 10.4 live cd, but it seems to just hang at a blinking cursor. ive never even gotten a prompt. It did load the first splash screen that just has like 2 graphics at the bottom, but then thats about it. Doesnt seem like its trying to load anything. I have a quad core 2.9ghz with 8gb ram. So its not a lack of ram for sure [08:16] ping 192.168.1.1 gives me 'From 192.168.1.249 .... Destination host unreasonable' [08:16] richardcavell, it should start spewing ms times back at you [08:16] thanks llutz_ btw. so this line should do the trick ? [08:16] unreachable [08:16] lollan: then create a short script like:line1 ping -c1 || exit 0 line2 mount /your/mountpoint [08:16] I type ping 192.168.1.1 and it gives me 'From 192.168.1.249 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable" [08:16] lollan: and make that a cronjob running every ... say 5 minutes [08:16] richardcavell, ok. either something wrong with the card or the router... assuming the card works. then you most likely need to modprobe some drivers. [08:17] lollan: ups, add "users" to the fstab options [08:17] llutz_: I didn't get that last one [08:17] richardcavell, to make it easier to find info about the card can you pastebin the output of : lspci -nn | grep Ethernet [08:18] lollan: //server/share /your/mountpoint cifs noauto,credentials=/home/you/cred.file,gid=1000,uid=1000,users 0 0 === carlo is now known as Guest35825 [08:21] llutz_: I was more talking about that line : < llutz_> lollan: ups, add "users" to the fstab options [08:21] hey guys, recently expanded a hardware based raid that's using GPT, now something I find odd, when I fdisk -l, it reports 12TB which is what my controller reports, now when i use parted, removed the old partition, created a new bigger one using the same sector alignment, it only reports 10T as my max size... what's going on here? [08:21] lollan: the last was the corrected fstab-line i meant === mybot is now known as killer [08:23] thanks a lot llutz_ [08:24] /msg NickServ identify privet74 [08:24] owned === killer is now known as robot [08:24] molded: time to change your password, we all just saw that sir. === robot is now known as auto [08:24] realized that === auto is now known as artificial [08:25] molded: /msg nickserv help setpass [08:25] molded: lol yeah [08:27] ok good to go fellas [08:27] damn too slow [08:29] hi, "Linux sister1 2.6.32-25-generic-pae #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 21:01:33 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux" Is my Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit? thanks [08:29] in 2 or 3 sentences, could anyone please tell me why I should update from 9.04 to 10.10 ? [08:29] toader: 32 [08:29] toader: at least the kernel [08:29] toader: i686 = 32, x86_64 = 64 [08:29] ok, thanks === artificial is now known as newman [08:30] ndxtg, you shouldn't. [08:31] airtonix: any reason? [08:32] can someone help? [08:32] jelena: what's your question? [08:33] i try to reinstal nvidia drivers from omgubuntu site [08:33] ndxtg, because you can't go from 9.04 to 10,10 [08:33] i think ubuntu should have this feature to upgrade to whatever version [08:33] airtonix: oh really?? so is it possible to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 ? [08:34] and i have acer aspire 6920g, sudo sh ./NV dont work [08:34] fedora has it...you can upgrade from fedora 10 to fedora 14 if you want [08:34] and now i have only ubuntu logo with 5 red dots on screen [08:34] Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot? [08:34] can someone help? [08:34] airtonix: never mind, I've just googled it. Know the reason now, must go each-by-each distribution [08:34] will ubuntu run pretty well from a 300x flash drive? [08:35] ndxtg, i recommend you 1) back up your home folder. (and any other data). 2) do a clean install of 10,10 3) plan the partitions like so : 1-swap(no mountpoint) : 2g, 2-system (mount: / ) 20gb 3-home (mount: /home ) the rest of the drive space. [08:35] ndxtg, also, only do a dist-upgrade if you want to play with broken debris. [08:35] Mac-scr_lappy:if you boot from removable media... [08:36] it will run slowly , install it in hard drive to get true experience [08:36] please how to fix this [08:37] jelena whats the problem? [08:37] ndxtg, you might have no problems or you might end up with a totally broken system.... a clean install with that partition plan will help you do future clean installs far more easil and more reliably than any dist-upgrade will. [08:37] airtonix: because I have a lot of settings (i.e. thunder bird email accounts, shortcuts to network drive, compiz, cairo, firefox addons etc.)... cannot install from scratch now... it may take a month to re-config these things [08:37] i already write above [08:37] ndxtg, all those settings are in your home folder [08:37] Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot? [08:38] you need to say sh for ubuntu... [08:38] ./NV should do it [08:38] whats ./NV anyway [08:38] command from omgubuntu site to install new nvidia drivers [08:38] ndxtg, you'll have to do them from scratch anyway if your upgrade fails ... a stitch in time saves nince [08:38] nine* [08:39] hi, i have a eee-pc running ubuntu. i installed ubuntu over a year ago i think, using a specialized kernel/installation for netbooks, which i found somewhere on the internet. it used normal gnome, and i loved it. recently it's been nagging me to upgrade to a newer distribution because the old one wasn't supported anymore. I resisted because i was worried things wouldn't work as nicely as they were, but finally relented. it s [08:39] eems to have replaced my gnome interface with some kind of wacky blend of gnome with something else -- i still have my panels, top and bottom, but instead of showing a desktop it shows weird big icons and a menu along the left... and everything moves rather slowly. how can i get it to return to normal gnome? [08:39] have you installed the driver during a x session? [08:39] you should turn of gdm and then try to install binary driver [08:39] ndxtg, up to you really... im just sayin... since you want to end up at 10.10 you'll be enduring the gamble of two upgrades [08:39] i do everithing from here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-in-ubuntu/ [08:40] Hello [08:40] besides binary drivers are never a good idea because it sometimes breaks the kernel.... [08:40] spectacular: I do not know new gnome but what are you sure it is actually gnome? [08:40] jelena, next time you write out your issue, keep it on one line... trying to piece together your issue as its spread out over five lines interspersed through other peoples messages is not easy. [08:40] morgoth_2001: hi [08:41] but when i try to install new driver with command:sudo sh ./NV, i have something like this dont work [08:41] sorry for that i am a noob and i need help [08:41] jelena, so after you downloaded the .run file from Nvidia website, did you press ctrl alt f2 and then type : sudo service gdm stop (then continue on to running the .run file )? [08:41] anyone know of a app for ubuntu that will kind of work like the windows restore feature? I want to play with different video driver setups, but if if screw things up, i just want to roll back things to my last "checkpoint" [08:41] yes [08:41] have you followed it completely , i mean have you turned off your graphical desktop? [08:42] jelena, and what exactly was it saying about it not working ? [08:42] jelena, did it say not found or that it can;t continue because the X server is still running ? [08:42] airtonix: the reasons I want to update is because 9.04 hang on shutdown (network drives not unmounted thing), even they are unmounted, system may hang sometimes.... also Wifi drops randomly if overloading ~30MB/s [08:42] sorry but like this dont work or something like that [08:43] Anyone point me to a tutorial for installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix | Backtrack 4-Final Dual boot? [08:43] ndxtg, they're good reasons... but i *highly* recommend that you put /home on a separate partition so that you simply skip all this upgrade nonsense and simply clean install (and tell the installer to use you old home partition as the new home) [08:43] jelena whats your kernel version [08:43] the last 10.10 [08:43] is there a tool to do something like a rsync between a public http-server and a local directory? [08:43] jelena: that is not kernel version [08:44] ok i know but it it the latest ubuntu 10.10 [08:44] sorry [08:44] 10.10 has a new kernel 2.6.35 series .... [08:44] xerox1, a public server that you don't have to use a username and password to access ? [08:44] airtonix: exactly [08:44] xerox1: wget might be your best bet [08:44] is any way to retrive my data? [08:44] and i'm concerned about wheather nvidia driver works with new kernel [08:45] yes... [08:45] xerox1, well that depends on the server but i just assume you simply use rsync with the ftp method ? [08:45] airtonix: have never tried before because I thought if I install thunderbird for an example, it may not realise the thing inside /home folder, and so other programs [08:45] do you have the grub menu? [08:45] Hey [08:45] no [08:45] airtonix: ah, didn't know there is such one [08:45] ndxtg, well that's where it puts its settings in the first place. [08:45] ttocskcaj: need help? [08:45] airtonix: thx [08:46] xerox1, don't quote me... it's just an assumption (since it has a ssh method, i just assume it has a ftp method) [08:46] ejv: i think i would have to write a short script to do that with wget... [08:46] xerox1: probably [08:46] type crtl+alt+f3 and say what happens [08:46] Why can't I run executables? I'm trying to run this: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/jd-gui/downloads/jd-gui-0.3.3.linux.i686.tar.gz but it just does nothing [08:46] does it bring you to a terminal? [08:46] ttocskcaj: that is archive [08:46] I know [08:46] nothing [08:47] the program inside it is the problem [08:47] ttocskcaj: you must open it with archive manager [08:47] i've done this... [08:47] PEBCAK [08:47] then kernel somehow got broken [08:47] how? it's a brand new install [08:47] ttocskcaj: did you follow readme in it? [08:47] airtonix: ok let me try, thank you :D [08:47] xerox1, its how i moved from 9.10 to 10,04 and after i installed 10,04 my desktop looked *exactly* like it did in 9.10... if you didnt sit through the install you;d think i didn't have a new version. [08:47] ok is there something i can do to recover my data? [08:47] reboot and try crtl+alt+f3 again [08:47] ok [08:47] ttocskcaj: open it in terminal it would tell you what is wrong [08:48] ok === i is now known as Guest57593 [08:48] how to install picasa in ubuntu 10.10(from repository) [08:48] during startup what happens?

[08:53] ttocskcaj: or rather u+rw [08:53] xerox1, maybe there are other tools, but i'd need to get a better idea of what it is you are trying to acheive [08:53] i will search a little and try to find a solution [08:53] ok a can open the boot menu and then what?

Any ideas on how to fix this? [10:11] mmoo9154: probably your router with either nat or a firewal [10:12] mmoo9154: certainly won't be an ubuntu problem as there is no default firewall rules on ubuntu [10:13] ikona, thx! [10:13] The packet gets routed to the ubuntu box (I can see it with ngrep) [10:13] mmoo9154: it will be your router/firewall [10:13] The packet does not get responded to by the Ubuntu box if the packet comes from outside the local net [10:14] It's not the router [10:14] mmoo9154: check if router does not block pinging [10:14] mmoo9154: because it's going through your router - with icmp probably blocked [10:14] hey there [10:14] It might be the firewall in Ubuntu... but I have everything turned off (sudo ufw disable) [10:14] petan after gparted made the drive +b it still just boots to the grub prompt [10:14] mmoo9154: does your router have a ping utility? [10:14] I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 and I've just installed reiser4progs to make reiser4 fs but I can not mount it, please help me! [10:15] mmoo9154: the default rule on ubuntu firewall is any:any - so it's not that [10:15] U-b-u-n-t-u: that is what I though boot back we need to change it manually [10:15] mmoo9154: it is probably your router blocking icmp [10:15] petan ok [10:15] Router does not block pings. I can ping a Windows box that is inside (on the same network segment as the new Ubuntu 10.10) [10:15] I agree ikona. [10:15] That's why I'm stumped and writing in IRC at 2:15am :-P [10:16] somebody can help me why when i execute this iptable comman [10:16] iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport http -j REDIRECT --to-ports 1935 [10:16] tiger2wander:" sudo modprobe reiserfs" [10:16] i receive that error "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name." [10:16] hello [10:16] i have a question [10:16] tiger2wander: grep -i reiser /proc/filesystems [10:16] llutz, thanks u for hint, I've just forgot it [10:16] ikonia, the router is not blocking. The packet *reaches* the Ubuntu box. Gets read. And can be seen with ngrep [10:16] mmoo9154: does your router have a ping utility? check your router administrator page. try to ping from there... [10:17] rigved, Yes it does [10:17] I get this error when I try to use apt-get; E: Couldn't find package haskell-platform [10:17] !info haskell-platform [10:17] haskell-platform (source: haskell-platform): standard haskell libraries and tools. In component universe, is optional.

[10:18] karthick87, "sudo apt-get install haskell-platform" seems like it should work... [10:18] mmoo9154: so you are able to ping from your router utility but from from ubuntu 10.10? [10:18] rigved or ikonia... is there a channel for linux/ubuntu networking?? [10:18] mmoo9154: have you actually looked at your iptables rules ? [10:18] Madpilot: tried that getting the same error [10:19] rigved, I am able to ping the Ubuntu box from the router's admin/ping page [10:19] karthick87, which version of Ubuntu? [10:19] I am not able to ping from outside [10:19] mmoo9154: sudo iptables -L -v [10:19] Madpilot: 10.10 === melek is now known as supermelek [10:19] Anyone know how to set the default file manager in openbox? === supermelek is now known as melek [10:20] karthick87, odd. Have you done anything to your repositories? [10:20] Madpilot: No [10:20] llutz, done. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/529897/ [10:21] ikonia, I posted the iptables: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529897/ [10:21] karthick87, Universe repo is enabled by default these days, so the haskell package you're looking for ought to just install [10:21] mmoo9154: a.) disable iptables and test it b.) read the rules and see if there is anything blocking it [10:21] any ideas? [10:21] sdfsda [10:21] How do I disable ptables? [10:21] hi [10:21] (doh!) [10:22] mmoo9154: sudo ufw stop [10:23] ikonia, I did that.

[10:26] mmoo9154: then your iptables rules should be clear, not showing the information you have in your poastebin [10:26] ok [10:26] U-b-u-n-t-u: in gparted or editor you like [10:26] The postbin was *before* the -F [10:26] U-b-u-n-t-u: * gedit [10:26] i read a lot of docs and try diferents examples but i have the same error all the time [10:26] mmoo9154: ok, so now try it === taka is now known as Guest94913 [10:27] ok [10:27] U-b-u-n-t-u: The guide you followed to re-install grub was a poor one. Follow this: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [10:28] ikonia, rigved: here is the latest sudo iptables -L -v: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529900/ [10:28] mmoo9154: all clear, so you now have no firewall rules [10:28] still no ping response [10:28] mmoo9154: as I've said it's probably your router not allowing/natting the icmp back properly [10:28] To be precise... I get a ping response if I ping from a device on the same network. Not if I ping from outside the segment [10:29] mmoo9154: what ip address are you pinging ? [10:29] U-b-u-n-t-u: what version you are running btw [10:29] 173.8.161.18 [10:29] mmoo9154: is that on the public internet [10:29] 10.04 ubuntu and 1.5 grub [10:29] You can ping 173.8.161.17 (that is a device on the same segnent as the Ubuntu box) [10:30] ikonia: yes [10:30] hmm... sudo tcpdump -i eth0 ?? to see any incoming ping packets ? [10:30] mmoo9154: my trace to that does shows ICMP being blocked [10:30] ikonia: the 16 addresses at 173.8.161.17/28 is my static block [10:31] ikonia: you are seeing the same behavior I am trying to debug [10:31] petan I typed sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.1st and the file doesnt exist [10:31] The IP is blocked at the Ubuntu box [10:31] You *can* ping .17, correct? [10:31] U-b-u-n-t-u: menu.lst [10:31] mmoo9154: no the whole route from the first hop doesn't response [10:31] fjdijfdjfkdfkd [10:31] chq: need help? [10:32] mmoo9154: but your right, I can ping .17 [10:32] petan so sudo pico menu.1st [10:32] 17 is inside the router :( [10:32] U-b-u-n-t-u: it is LST .lst [10:32] oh! [10:32] mmoo9154: is it natted ? [10:32] sorry [10:32] The router is at .30 [10:32] Nope. [10:32] mmoo9154: no, is the router natting [10:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: btw Jordan's link might be also usefull [10:33] The .18 device is a NIC. A real NIC. It is wired to the router directly. (Not even a switch in between) [10:33] petan I typed sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst same result [10:33] The router is not natting [10:33] mmoo9154: what is the .17 device ? [10:33] petan ok let me try it [10:33] The .17 device is a linux box running dd-wrt [10:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: it must be not / [10:34] mmoo9154: enable ufw and add a rule to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic. then try.

I went to Switch from.... and got the login screen [11:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: now quit chroot and restart [11:07] Jordan_U: There's just my name and "Other" === wmpotato is now known as wm [11:08] U-b-u-n-t-u: what installation proccess said? no problems [11:09] Jordan_U: I tried logging in under Other, typing "Guest" in manually, but it asked me for a password and gave me an authentication failure whether I used my sudo password or left it blank. [11:09] ikonia: or rigved: any ideas? [11:10] mmoo9154: your ufw is functioning as it should. it allows ping requests. i do not know any more on this, but i can surely say that your Ubuntu box is allowing you to ping properly. sorry i cannot help you any more than this.

[11:11] petan when ran the purge I thought that was the install so I went back and ran the command apt-get install grub-pc [11:11] And... thanks for all your time! [11:11] Yerushalmi: You can't get to the guest account from the login screen, only from the user switching applet like this: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot.png [11:11] petan when it is installing there is a problem [11:11] U-b-u-n-t-u: what problem [11:11] getting it now [11:12] Diverdude: left click on the network icon and move your mouse over to VPN Connections. you should get a list of configured VPNs.

[11:15] rigved, what is supposed to happen when i click the network i ave confgured in the networks manager? [11:15] Yerushalmi: Odd, the gdm-guest-session package should be installed by default. Try creating a new user instead. [11:16] grub-install --recheck /dev/sda it returned cannot find a device for boot/grub [11:16] Diverdude: you should get a message saying that you have connected to it successfully or connection failed if you have not entered the details correctly. [11:16] Jordan_U: Done. Do anything special with account settings or leave them as they are upon creation? (account type Desktop user, for instance) [11:16] rigved, but nothing happens at all :S [11:17] U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see boot if you type ls / [11:17] looking [11:17] rigved, is it possible to do it from a terminal so that i can get verbose output?

How to call the logout program from command line? [11:20] U-b-u-n-t-u: I would just try rebooting.

I don't suppose you can help me with my permissions problem? :) [11:29] ok petan I went to /boot/grub/ and I see grub.cfg [11:29] erUSUL, indeed it looks like it is. but there is nothing in /sys/kernel/debug [11:29] U-b-u-n-t-u: type gedit grub.cfg do you see it [11:29] Yerushalmi: you'll need chod and chroot, why are you messing with that stuff? [11:29] looking [11:30] erUSUL, any ideas what could be wrong else? [11:30] jinzo: you do not have debugfs mounted? [11:30] ActionParsnip: ah, sorry, i forgot to add, i need recursive ones. -R [11:30] isn't it by default? [11:30] ActionParsnip: I have no idea what the problem is, from the moment I installed Ubuntu I've been having problems playing embedded videos in webpages and the like, and I get a segfault whenever running vlc, totem, or mplayer from terminal (and, except for with totem, even when running commands like "mplayer --help" and not opening a file). [11:30] also, there are some debug symbols in /sys/kernel/debug [11:31] just not vgaswitcheroo [11:31] jinzo: dunno « grep debug /proc/mounts » [11:31] petan, it says if not floppy then set (it has the ubuntu parition # string here) [11:31] not = no [11:31] U-b-u-n-t-u: scroll to end of file [11:31] ActionParsnip: I only discovered two days ago that if I use gksudo totem it actually opens the file and plays normally (except for the missing codec) [11:31] petan, ok [11:32] Yerushalmi: which release are you running? [11:32] 10.04 [11:32] Yerushalmi: freaky, lucid is mature and pretty solid [11:32] Yerushalmi: what groups are you in? [11:32] ActionParsnip: Indeed. Want to know what else is freaky? I had the same problem in 9.04 but never got around to trying to fix it. [11:32] petan ok I am at the bottom what should the line look like? [11:33] ActionParsnip: How do I find out? [11:33] Yerushalmi: run: groups what is output? It's only one line [11:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: then you should see line similar to title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686 [11:34] ok looking [11:34] U-b-u-n-t-u: do you see this line even for windows [11:34] daniel adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare [11:34] ?? [11:35] everyone's idle? [11:36] ActionParsnip: daniel being my name, obviously, and my "Main group" under Users and Groups [11:36] I'm having the worst day ever. I just ran photoRec on a external harddrive from my ubuntu 10.04 and something is seriously wrong. I did a restart and the OS itself can't can't mount dbs1 on the splash screen? I tried safe mode and it says gnome power configurations have been installed incorrectly with it still not booting. [11:36] petan I dont see that line anywhere [11:36] rigved, VPN connection 'Dupont' failed because there are no valid VPN secrets???? What on earth is that error message? [11:37] Yerushalmi: thats a whole tonne more than me but my groups are a subset of yours [11:37] U-b-u-n-t-u: nvm maybe it has different syntax I have differnet version than you [11:37] ok [11:37] U-b-u-n-t-u: but there should be anything with windows [11:37] petans there is nothing with windows [11:37] U-b-u-n-t-u: I want to make sure it is already installed that is all feel free to reboot [11:37] ActionParsnip: So what do you suppose is the problem? [11:37] Diverdude: one moment [11:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: and with linux? [11:38] petan when I ran the install I also ran another purge [11:38] I really don't get this, I did a fairly out-of-the-box installation. [11:38] petan should I run the install again? [11:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: no [11:38] ok [11:38] so im ok? [11:38] sarge1221: sounds like the recovered data is still bad [11:38] U-b-u-n-t-u: you dont see anything in grub.cfg? apart of #lines [11:39] Yerushalmi: if you log on as another user, is it ok? [11:39] Diverdude: open up your VPN connection from the Network icon > Configure VPN [11:39] petan no there is code there [11:39] how do i kill the x server via console?

[11:39] petan but I dont see a line with windows or the kernel # [11:39] BajK_: sudo gdm stop [11:39] ActionParsnip: I created a temporary account for that purpose. Totem can open without gksudo. Vlc and mplayer still give me segfaults, though. [11:40] petan: gdm not found (have kubunttu) and kdm does nothing [11:40] U-b-u-n-t-u: but do you se anything apart # [11:40] sarge1221: that wasn't aimed at you [11:40] rigved, yeah im there [11:40] petan yes [11:40] ActionParsnip: oh sorry my mistake. [11:40] why does kill need a pid, can't i just enter kill xserver and it'S good -.- [11:40] sarge1221: only text that is prefixed with your name is aimed at you [11:40] Diverdude: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529938/ [11:41] sarge1221: Guided missiles prefixed with your name can sometimes also be aimed at you. :) [11:41] rigved, i see no authentication button anywhere [11:41] petan so reboot? [11:42] 哈喽 [11:42] BajK_: if you want to kill it (and you are ready for troubles) you can type killall X [11:42] Yerushalmi: do you have read access to the files?

I would gladly have the grub issues again at least they were short and sweet but this looks really bad for me alot of important info lies on my ubuntu i need to figure out how to fix it. [11:43] petan ok [11:43] Diverdude: sorry. click Advanced button [11:43] Diverdude: it's under there [11:43] I have installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an old Compaq W4000 workstation and I have a problem with the panels not showing up (I boot to a blank desktop); can you help? [11:43] U-b-u-n-t-u: what you see apart of comments anything like root or image [11:43] rigved, under edit? [11:43] Diverdude: yes [11:43] rigved, hmm no i dont see it [11:43] petan looking [11:43] sarge1221: restore from backups, if the data is important it will be backed up [11:43] ActionParsnip: Which files? If you're referring to the video I'm trying to play, yes, but I get segfaults even when I'm not loading anything and just trying to open the program [11:44] Diverdude: after you click edit, there will be a list of authentication methods. uncheck PAP [11:44] ActionParsnip: When you say backup do oyu mean the previous listing from grub or a actual backup i made myself? [11:44] petan: By completing that guide successfully he is almost guaranteed to have a working grub install now. That's why I like that guide. [11:44] set root=(hd0,1) [11:44] Diverdude: under Advanced [11:44] petan set root=(hd0,1) [11:44] sarge1221: backups you made yourself of the important data [11:45] Jordan_U: but he got errors? but guide is good, thank you [11:45] ActionParsnip: .... it just got worst. [11:45] is there any nautilus extension to interact with git ? [11:45] nope [11:45] U-b-u-n-t-u: nothing else? I am not familiar with grub in mbr maybe it is allright [11:46] ActionParsnip: I didn't have any place to backup to so i never backed up as you can clearly see my external harddrive was not a good place to begin with in fact it is so screwed up it has now some how killed my linux OS. [11:46] petan ok here goes the reboot [11:46] U-b-u-n-t-u: normall installation has entry for all systems this is waht you ca see in menu of grub when it start [11:46] but I would recommend gitweb to interact with git read only and emacs git mode fore read/write. [11:46] petan: The errors were due to simple mistakes. The fact that grub-install has completed, and he has a grub.cfg, is enough to be fairly sure everything is going to work. [11:46] U-b-u-n-t-u: maybe this is reason why it does not work for u [11:47] Jordan_U: but what if grub.cfg is wrong [11:47] rigved, this is what I have: http://img151.imageshack.us/i/screenshoteditingdupont.png/ [11:47] petan it started grub then left me at the prompt [11:47] grub> [11:47] sarge1221: tesdisk can be useful if the drive has become corrupted. Boot into a livecd and install it there. It is not a gui program but does have menu's. It's best to do some background reading on anything it finds before making any changes though. [11:47] sarge1221: then its not very miportant data, drives fail all the time, its not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

But you learned the value of this the hard way [11:50] ActionParsnip: I don't need the backup preaching it is a bad situation all around. I was trying to fix my external so i could store stuff on it when i nfact i have now created the very problem i was trying to avoid. === surya is now known as Guest90322 [11:50] rigved, it never prompted me. but itmight have done that when i started my computer long time ago...sometimes it does that and i just enter my normal user password for ubuntu [11:51] Diverdude: i mean that when you created and tried to connect to your VPN network, it did not ask you this? [11:51] i have ubuntu lucid, what i want is compile network manager form source, i done things like get source and build dep but after going to dir of network manager and doing ./autogen sh i recive errors : configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE [11:51] If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

[11:56] Yerushalmi: i'd test ram and fsck the partition [11:56] Diverdude: sudo restart network-manager [11:56] Diverdude: from the terminal [11:56] ActionParsnip: How do I do that? [11:56] Yerushalmi: you can test ram from the grub menu (hold shift at boot), select memtest [11:56] Yerushalmi: you can boot to liveCD and use fsck from there [11:56] petan ready [11:57] how can i keep two installations of ubuntu synced as far as what packages are installed, what users there are, what configs there are?

[12:04] ActionParsnip: Thanks [12:05] petan installation finished no error reported [12:05] Diverdude: i can only connect to one connection even when i have my wired as well as my wireless connected. [12:05] Diverdude: they NEED to be different, if the VPN address (for example) is 192.168.0.x and your LAN IP also uses 192.168.0.x then there is zero differentiation between the networks and youwill need to change the address network of YOUR network to something else (like 192.168.1.x) [12:05] U-b-u-n-t-u: now grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [12:06] ActionParsnip, ahhhh i see...

[12:15] littlegirl: depends on how much RAM it has [12:15] kichi: 2 GB [12:15] littlegirl: nothing special most of the time, unless you have more than say 1gb of RAM. but when you do hit the limit, applications will start crashing [12:15] ActionParsnip, hmm so have to set up routing? [12:16] littlegirl: if there is no mememory left, the kernel is unloading "unimportant libs" [12:16] LjL: Thanks! Will they also sort of "choke" on long lines of text while still flying through short lines? [12:16] iceroot: And occasionally makes a mistake about what's important? [12:16] littlegirl: sometimes [12:16] ActionParsnip, what should then be set as ip address in routes? [12:16] littlegirl: i've mistakenly disabled swap on my laptop lately === timmillwood is now known as tim_is_away_cryi [12:17] littlegirl: but normally its always bad if kernel is unloading stuff [12:17] littlegirl: that shouldn't happen, i don't think === tim_is_away_cryi is now known as tim_is_crying [12:17] is there a special kernel to use for desktops? [12:17] i would get ram hungry apps (firefox, vuze) to hang up for a long time (say 10-15 minutes) and then crash. [12:17] rchavik: no [12:17] during this time the system was completely unusable and unresponsive. === tim_is_crying is now known as timmillwood [12:18] iceroot, keep getting skips on my rhythmbox while installing stuff, never had this happen with another distro.. [12:18] ActionParsnip, ? [12:18] Diverdude: you need to route 192.168.1.0/24 down your adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter [12:18] rchavik: high io-usage? check %wa in top [12:18] Well, I recently switched from Kubuntu Hardy Heron to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx andlike an idiot, I allowed Ubuntu to just create one big partition. I suspect that the ridiculous delays when loading large text files and when using the keyboard to scroll through long lines of text could be swap related. The symptoms don't happen when I load up the same file using the live CD. Any ideas? [12:19] ActionParsnip, what is the /24 ? === mybot is now known as karthick87 [12:19] Diverdude: netmask 255.255.255.0 = /24 [12:19] !swap | littlegirl [12:19] littlegirl: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [12:20] littlegirl: you can still create some swap if you want [12:20] Diverdude: means the first 24 bits of the address are for the network and the last 8 are for hosts [12:20] iceroot, 9.8% from sar [12:20] littlegirl: well you can have swap without needing a partition, you can use a swapfile [12:20] jrib: I'd like to if it sounds like that could be the reason I'm running into delays on simple things like text scrolling and loading. [12:21] littlegirl: maybe, see if creating a swapfile helps or not [12:21] littlegirl: maybe its poor video chip config [12:21] ActionParsnip, sorry about the stupid question, but what do i write in the 'routes' window in order to route 192.168.1.0/24 down my adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter? [12:22] ActionParsnip: I'd suspect hardware if the problem persisted when using the Live CD, but it disappears then and is only present on this install of Ubuntu. [12:22] littlegirl: then run: lspci | grep -i vga and websearch for the output for guides [12:22] I'm going to try the instructions for adding a swap file from that page Ubottu linked and see if that solves it. Otherwise I will tear my hair out and look kind of silly. (: [12:23] littlegirl: the live cd has got swap? [12:23] ActionParsnip: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1) [12:23] !nvidia | littlegirl [12:23] littlegirl: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:23] ruthl: the live-cd is not running on the hdd, so there is no real swap [12:23] jerry69 [12:23] ruth: No idea, but I think the whole thing runs in RAM, doesn't it? And if I had a RAM issue, it would show up when I use the Live CD, wouldn't it? [12:24] littlegirl: memtest is the common way to check the ram [12:25] littlegirl: so you've got one system that works and one that doesn't, and swap _isn't_ the difference between them [12:25] iceroot: Yeah, I'm not suspecting hardware because this only happens in my Ubuntu install. It didn [12:25] didn't happen in Kubuntu (which I was running just prior to this install) and it doesn't happen on any of the Live CDs I've stuck in (including the Ubuntu Live CD used for the install of my current operating system). [12:26] Hey folks. Im trying to start an ec2 ubuntu instance. (can i ask about that here or??) Anyway, when it comes to starting the instance i either get AMI not found or pair key doesn't exist.. === timmillwood is now known as tim--afk [12:26] ruthl: Not quite, but close. I had a working system, and the system still works if I use Live CDs, but it's having an issue with the currently installed Ubuntu. It's like I'm actually regretting having upgraded. (: [12:26] ActionParsnip, sorry about the stupid question, but what do i write in the 'routes' window in order to route 192.168.1.0/24 down my adapter and 192.168.0.0/24 down the VPN adapter? [12:27] Hopefully adding a swap file will fix it. (: [12:27] Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I already installed the binary driver for the NVIDIA card. [12:28] Diverdude: look at examples of route online, there will be lots, something like: route add net 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 interface pptp0 i just made that up so its most likely very wrong. [12:28] hi, is there any way to lock a keyboard in X without disabling the screen? [12:29] One question about the instructions for the swap file: If I want to make the swap file 4 GB, do I just change 512Mb to 4Gb in the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [12:29] ActionParsnip, hmm but the problem is that both networks uses dhcp, so i cannot hardcode my ip in routes, because it might change next time [12:31] littlegirl: no, it's the "count=..." that counts [12:31] mrec: could run: sudo modprobe -r usbhid but it'll also disable mouse (assuming the keyboard is usb) [12:31] hey. I just tried to run the live netbook version of Ubuntu on an old laptop (which was running suprisingly good under Windows). But it's been loading GDM for 20 minutes now and ... [12:31] any idea why ? [12:31] ruthl: Thanks. (: [12:32] Diverdude: you can make a script to run to setup the routes [12:32] Hi, I am wondering how I can use kvm to boot an existing hdd [12:32] qdii, did it meet the ram requirements? [12:32] ActionParsnip: Does this memory test run over and over again or something until I exit? What does "Pass complete, no errors, press Esc to exit" mean if it's continuing to run tests? [12:33] Yerushalmi, it will do many types of tests [12:33] ActionParsnip, hmm that sounds like a good idea. So using route add net command? [12:33] aeMaeth: Well, yes, it's already done a whole lot of tests, but it seems to be doing them again or something. [12:33] I'm gonna check that, I have no idea to be honest [12:34] I thought it would swap on the disk but .. yea there's no disk ofc [12:34] ActionParsnip, like: route add -net 12.34.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 12.34.56.1 ?

[12:51] lol sorry ohir ok [12:51] http://pastebin.com/jhtGucki [12:51] log contains what happened [12:51] Umm.......on booting I am getting this error: "init not found" What should I do? [12:52] GlitchMr: ok, did you MD5 test the wubi file? are you running the app as an admin? [12:52] It asked me through UAC, so yes [12:53] GlitchMr: i recommend you download the ISO yourself and MD5 test it, then mount the file using magicdick / daemontools. You can then install wubi from the CD [12:54] 436 MB (bajtów: 457 703 424) [12:54] ok... it doesn't seem to be correct [12:54] It shouldn't be 436 MB, I think so [12:54] I tried mountting the partition thru live cd but it does not respond [12:54] GlitchMr: it should be 700Mb ish, its a bad image [12:55] GlitchMr: if you do it manually so YOU know it's good, you will get fewer issues [12:55] waw ActionParsnip thanks for that cmd, i now have the most update version of chromium browser :) [12:55] it first installed 7.0 now i have 9.0 :o [12:55] Robinux: so move there if you wanna discuss your 'be secure' plan [12:55] damn you're fast ohir [12:56] 'be secure in 'ubuntu'' [12:56] :P [12:56] Robinux: its badass and chews less ram than irefox [12:57] What CD should I use for wubi - desktop or alternate? [12:57] oh thats good cuz firefox takes like 40% of the 400MB ram i dedicated to my vbox [12:57] sometimes more [12:57] GlitchMr: desktop [12:58] Robinux: it also precaches DNS so browsing is a littel accellerated [12:59] ActionParsnip, you mean chormium, ....nice!

[13:01] ActionParsnip, i just started my first session of chromium seeming alright, thanks [13:02] it wants me to choose search engine i think i'll go for no other than GooGle === nero_ is now known as nero [13:03] hello : can any1 help me with a simple installation question - thanks [13:03] hmm, i can't seem to find the name of the sun java package on 10.10 ....

[13:04] !ask aHardyX [13:05] sagaci, i want to install 10.10 on a pc which already has windows xp installed on it - i have a spare partition of 12GB to install to [13:05] I am not able to boot I am getting this error: "init not found". This happened after a power failure [13:06] sagaci, i need to know which boot loader to select during installation [13:06] Vogg: have you only got one hard drive [13:06] N00b question; after clean install of Netbook 10.10 from USB pen, I only get a flashing cursor after restart.. What did I do wrong? (IBM X41) [13:07] Thanks Dr_Willis [13:07] the choices are Dev/sda ATA generic drive or Dev\sda1 Windows XP (Loader) [13:07] aHardyX: i would suggest booting with a live cd and fscking the filesystems to verify they are 'good' and hopefully fix any errors. [13:07] yes i only have 1 hard drive [13:07] aHardyX: use a live cd or usb to backup your data first [13:07] Vogg: well it should be by default, something like /dev/sda [13:08] Vogg: sorry, didn't see your previous post, install it to the /dev/sda ata one [13:08] Puddel: so no grub then? [13:08] Vogg: not the Windows XP one [13:09] dingurt: grub? [13:09] does anyone now how I can dualboot macosx and ubuntu on my hackintosh-pc, e.g. which file do i need to edit for grub2 and which tools to run ... the actual entry should be similar to windows (chainload) [13:09] sagaci, ok .. thanks [13:10] Puddel: GRUB is how linux boots. [13:10] Puddel: the first thing you should see after the POST is the GRUB bootloader [13:10] dingurt: ah - no, nothing after the ibm start screen, just flashing cursor [13:10] Puddel: if not, then the bootloader isn't loading [13:11] dingurt: I would suspect that - but shouldnt that be installed and configured by the installer? [13:11] Puddel: you would think so, but things happen... I would get to a console prompt and run grub-install [13:12] Puddel: but do a little research on the command [13:12] !grub2 | adrelino [13:12] adrelino: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:12] Hey, suddenly my ubuntu 10.04 started to map the keys of 'k' as 2 and so on... [13:12] how can i change it back to the normal keyboard mapping [13:12] ? [13:12] ixik: if its a laptop. there may be some fn key thing. you might have the numpad feature enabled. [13:12] how do I identify a disk partition by its UUID? [13:12] hi. when I select some mp3s in nautilus and press return to open them in totem, the playlist is unsorted. in previous versions of ubuntu it was always sorted to their filename. any way to change it back? [13:13] !uuid | amarcolino [13:13] amarcolino: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [13:13] amarcolino: sudo blkid [13:13] Dr_Willis: so why does it happen just when i login to gnome? [13:13] ixik: no idea. IS this a laptop? [13:13] ixik: try setxkbmap -layout us -model pc105 [13:13] yes it is laptop [13:13] dingurt: thanks! it should be possible to do this while running ubuntu from the usb, right? [13:14] and i think i DID play with fn keys [13:14] ok guys, thanks [13:14] playing again wtih the fn keys did solve it [13:14] :-) [13:15] Puddel: yep :D [13:15] dingurt: thanks again, will try that ;) === Willie_ is now known as Guest15946 [13:17] thanks Dr_Willis & sagaci, before I become silent again is it more secure using the disk UUID or the partition it belongs to as I have been having an issue that I ahve to atempt to restart my system a couple of time before it boots and the last message printed is ureadhead main process terminated with status 5. Google threads tells me that the problem is not with ureadhead but might be something in my fstab and I suspect it's the bo [13:18] amarcolino: uuid is much more reliable [13:18] sagaci: why? [13:19] bremby: UUIDs don't change as new drives are added, sda sdb etc will [13:20] sagaci: I am not able to mount my partition. It says the opration is still pending [13:20] what ActionParsnip said [13:20] sda doesn't change if you don't change your partition table [13:20] wow thats cool didnt have to customize anything... just a simle sudo update-grub2 did the trick for adding macosx [13:20] thanks guys [13:20] bremby: if you change your drive to a different controller or from primary master to primary slave then add another drive as primary master, it will [13:20] amarcolino: 'secure' dosent really fit into it.. UUID's dont normally cahnge. thats the main reason to use them [13:20] if you're on a common computer with one harddrive [13:21] amarcolino: i see that uahead message on all my machines. they all seem to be working fine. [13:21] ActionParsnip: yeah, I do that all the time [13:21] dingurt: seems like grub2 is installe [13:21] aHardyX: err, you do have backups right? [13:21] umm...........yes on my external drive. NTFS [13:21] bremby: it takes away the risk if you ever do [13:22] ActionParsnip: so it's just to make things dummy-proof [13:22] anyone know a sensible file descriptor "ulimit" for a small intranet / developer team using apache ? [13:23] ActionParsnip: don't worry, I just wanted to know if sagaci knows what's he talking about [13:23] was wondering if there is some means extending nautilus to allow certain predefined actions to happen when say you enter a directory [13:23] bremby: it just covers bases so if you start moving disks, you'll get no issues [13:23] hi guys. I'm trying to dual-monitor my laptop with a 24" monitor on ubuntu 10.10 with ATI 5650 graphics, but the max resolution of the 24" screen is 1280x1024 in the catalyst control center. Any suggestions, please? [13:23] ActionParsnip: It have been a while since I was in this channel. Do you use renameutils? [13:23] * G69 Boa tarde [13:24] Are you guys sure that Memtest actually ends? It seems to complete all the tests and then just do them again. "Pass" up top has reached 100% twice now and it went back to performing Test #1 again. [13:24] sagaci: so I have backups so should I reinstall ubuntu? [13:24] red2kic: no, sorry [13:24] Yerushalmi: no it doesn't end [13:24] Yerushalmi: it will do a full test then restart again [13:24] aHardyX: well it may be easier and save time than to try to troubleshoot and recover data [13:24] ActionParsnip: Ah. I'm trying to remember a nifty command that allows me to rename lot of things at once. Thought it was you or the other nickname I can't remember. [13:24] So I'm still waiting around here for nothing? :) I'll hit escape then and go on to fsck. For the record, no errors. [13:24] Yerushalmi: after hitting 100% for the first time, you can reboot [13:25] Now, how do I fsck my drive? [13:25] is there a way to check if my sound card is supported? [13:25] Yerushalmi: you can mem test things for days on end :) [13:25] sagaci: hmm............the only thing is that I will have to download every software again! [13:25] plitter: trying a live cd is probably the easiest way [13:25] red2kic: i don't rename that much tbh [13:25] aHardyX: have fast internet? [13:26] does anyone know, how does totem sort its playlist? [13:26] ActionParsnip: you said to use a liveUSB. I have a second Ubuntu installation on a second drive, can I just load that up instead? [13:26] sagaci: nope thats the problem! [13:26] Yerushalmi: that'll do it, as long as the partition is unmounted, you can check it [13:26] hey [13:27] well ah, I don't have the time nor the expertise to advise in repairing [13:27] Dr_Willis, sagaci: no worries that completely removes my assumption, guess need to do more reading to identify why it fails to boot [13:27] ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there [13:28] looking for a workspace manager that autoscrolls between rather than having to click dock or use keyboard [13:28] sagaci: is there any other way to repair it other than reinstalling? [13:28] phaedral: i think if you hold ALT+CTRL and use cursor left/right it switches [13:28] phaedral: autoscrolls between what? [13:29] ActionParsnip: yes [13:29] jrib: workspaces [13:29] phaedral install from synaptic package manager compisconfig [13:29] ActionParsnip: So what do I type into terminal exactly? [13:29] dustin_: thanks, will look at that! [13:29] phaedral: compiz could do this at some point. It's probably some setting you can still configure. Ask #compiz if no one knows here [13:29] used to have it in, what, linuxppc-1999 using afterstep... [13:29] Yerushalmi: sudo fsck -a /dev/partitionname [13:30] phaedral you can enable desktop cube or wall from there [13:30] awesome; thanks [13:30] ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there .... [13:30] anybody who knows ... .. ubuntu is asking to authenticate while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to enter password, i mean password area is not there [13:30] hey [13:30] gnu|2: try: gksudo command-you-want-to-run [13:31] gnu|2 or restart X-sesion [13:31] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Running now. [13:31] hey. Which ubuntu version would you guys recommend for slow notebook? Like, 1.6GHZ intel atom, 2gb ddr2 ram, integraded graphic [13:31] Milossh: thats not slow at all [13:31] ActionParsnip: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem (etc) [13:31] hey [13:31] Which it isn't, it's ext4. [13:32] Milossh: 10.04 or 10.10 should both run fine [13:32] milossh as long as you use a 32 bit any will run great on it [13:32] superblock, sounds raidish [13:32] Hi. Anybody got any pointers for getting grub to work when installing to a kvm virtual machine? grub-install is failing [13:32] Milossh: i have ran a full gnome desktop with full compiz no less than that [13:32] jrib: how do you find that out with the live cd? [13:32] plitter: see if you can play sound after booting the live cd [13:32] Milossh: if you want to maximize resources for apps then use Lubuntu or XUbuntu [13:32] thanks, but I really harras my desktop, and will buy a netbook as I need it for work [13:33] so, I'd really need my apps to run smoothly [13:33] Milossh: Lubuntu and XUbuntu use LXDE and XFCE respectively and will be light [13:33] so, say firefox, thunderbird, pidgin, skype, 2-3 terminal tabs always on [13:33] milossh if you find a full distro to be a little slow on it you can always use "ubuntu netbook remiox" [13:33] Milossh: i'd think about a lighter browser [13:33] *remix* [13:33] ActionParsnip: I work for mozilla, thanks :) [13:34] dusin_: will check that now, thaks [13:34] *thanks [13:34] milossh lol you would have killed me for reccomending seamonkey (lighter respin on firefox) [13:34] ActionParsnip: So what do I do instead? [13:35] ubuntu is asking autthentication while using administrative tasks and there is no provision to ente the password [13:35] any knows y?/ [13:35] gnu|2 are you running a live disk or full install? [13:35] jrib: i already did that, the thing is i am trying to see if i can use a special option or something so i can make my mic start working [13:35] Milossh: Kazenchaze isa lighter version of the browser, less bloated [13:35] dustin_: no I wouldn't, I like seamonkey project, and personally support it [13:35] full install [13:35] what seamonkey is now, that sometime was mozilla suite ;) [13:35] plitter: just ask your real question [13:35] dustin: seamonkey lighter? [13:36] milossh whenever I hit a bug in firefox I use seamonkey to get around it [13:36] Yerushalmi: sounds like the partition is unhealthy, I am not sure here, websearch the error, see what you find [13:36] ActionParsnip: I assume you use ie4lin? [13:36] :) [13:36] i cant install anything using software center [13:36] plitter: anyway, run pavucontrol and make sure the mic isn't muted [13:36] its asking authentication [13:36] dustin_: I must say I'm not too proud with our linux builds [13:36] milossh where do you go to report firefox errors? [13:36] :/ [13:36] ActionParsnip: So the fact that it's complaining that it's not ext2 doesn't matter? It should work on ext4 anyway? [13:36] dustin_: bugzilla.mozilla.org [13:37] gnu|2: are you runnin it as your initial user? or some other user? try installing via apt-get perhaps? [13:37] dustin ... u know? [13:37] ty [13:37] In 10.10, When I change my resolution to 1440x900 the top and bottom panels are gone, but i appears when i change it back to 1024x768. Why is that? [13:37] Milossh: no, kazehakase. I know what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazehakase [13:37] Milossh: its firefox with less bloat, so its faster and slicker [13:37] dusting: that i know .. bt i cant access any administrative tasks [13:37] Am I going to have to log out and log in to get simple-cssm changes to take effect? [13:37] ActionParsnip: It says "If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 . [13:37] ActionParsnip: Should I try that? [13:37] jrib: my mic is not working, but my speakers work. Just want to check if my sound card is supported by alsa and if i can maybe put on some extra option in modprobe.conf to see if it helps [13:38] Yerushalmi: sure, if thats what it says [13:38] jrib: according to alsamixer nothing is muted [13:38] dustin: i cant acess any administrative tasks [13:38] ActionParsnip: firefox is not a bloatware [13:38] jrib: except the beep:P [13:38] Milossh: well, maybe next to Lynx ;) [13:38] Milossh: oh it is, get a little flash in it and it baloons up to in excess of 1Gb ram [13:38] ActionParsnip: it does not [13:38] ActionParsnip: "e2fsck: No medium found while trying to open /dev/sdb" [13:38] ActionParsnip: jokes aside, is that a ff problem or flash problem? [13:39] dustin : if iam trying to do somehting ... the authentication window comes and shakes and there is no provision to enter password [13:39] Milossh: well, firefox get slower every release, been using it since the beginning but actually starting to like chromium more now because of the speed and using less memory on ubuntu [13:39] I always have 20+ tabs open and newer more than 300mb of ram taken by fx [13:39] chromium much better [13:39] hello [13:39] phaedral: combination, chromium runs using a fraction of the ram on the same site [13:39] doesn't have as many addos though [13:39] harmus: have you checked latest beta? [13:39] Anyone managed to use an Emulex HBA under Ubuntu server? [13:39] fair enough [13:39] *sigh* And here I thought it would be fine running my hard drive from an SD card. [13:39] b7, that is [13:39] although I only use adblock and youtube dowloader [13:40] gnu|2 are you using a gnome or kde desktop? [13:40] Milossh: I dropped firefox years back, i use it to get the chromium ppa and it takes an age [13:40] Yerushalmi: I did that for a while with my netbook; it works, but there's no denying it's slower that way [13:40] ActionParsnip: that's only you [13:40] Yerushalmi: do a fdisk -l to see what's aboout [13:40] dustin: gnome desktop ,... bt recently installe kde [13:40] was an 8gb sd card with ubuntu 9 on it [13:40] that's right, chromium doesn't have nice developer tools like Yslow and senseo (as far as i know) [13:40] 25% og the internet inhabitants don't think the same way you do [13:40] sagaci: Nothing happens. [13:41] Milossh: plus all this about:config hacking users need to do to make it usable, its beyond poor [13:41] Yerushalmi: do a sudo fdisk -l to see what's aboout [13:41] ActionParsnip: sorry mate, but you're talking nonsense now [13:41] sagaci: Ah, okay [13:41] i installed linux headers on ubuntu 10.10 x64 , still i am not able to install vmware 7.1.2 [13:41] phaedral: I don't have a problem with speed, I have a problem with the disk apparently in the stages of progressive suicide :p [13:41] a lot of things are customizable via edit>options [13:41] Milossh: microsoft still has majority share ni OS, does that make windows better than Linux?? [13:41] gnu|2 you may be having an issue with the two desktops fighting over privileges.... [13:41] Milossh: that's because they don't know about browsers, most ppl use IE and even a lot still use IE6, that doesnt mean they would eally like IE6 more if they knew all about it [13:41] sagaci: I need to remount it first, don't I? :) [13:42] Milossh: www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html - Cached - Similar [13:42] ActionParsnip: windows has by far better kernel, crapware is making it look bad [13:42] Milossh: read the comments at the bottom [13:42] Yerushalmi: no [13:42] anyone please guide me, i am new to linux [13:42] sagaci: Because sdb didn't show up at all under devices [13:42] harmus: that is true for ie, but a one that was able to find and install firefox, probably knows that there are other browsers [13:43] Guys? [13:43] sagaci: It only gave me sda1 and sda2, which is my backup on-the-hard-drive installation so I don't need to carry around a liveUSB, and my swap drive, respectively [13:43] firefox doesn't come bundled with windows or anything [13:43] Yerushalmi: ah ok, look it's after midnight here so you'll hve to look for help elsewhere [13:43] milossh: don't know about that, it took firefox a long time to get a market share [13:43] sagaci: Hehe, okay, no worries :) [13:44] harmus: huh? do you know that in the past a lot of ppl working on firefox did it from scratch and volunteerly [13:44] ? [13:44] sagaci: You solved my problem, though [13:44] I'm an idiot, I was fsck-ing sdb and not sdb1 [13:44] well I can safely say that I prefer firefox over winblows internet exploder! [13:44] harmus: also, do you know that firefox broke the ice? [13:44] now it's everything easier [13:44] Milossh: it uses a lot of the netscape code in the past [13:44] *everything is [13:45] ActionParsnip: now? nope [13:45] milossh: I know that, i've been following it since the beginning, ppl like me told other folks about it and the population grew slowly [13:45] .... which doesn't seem to have made a difference. sdb1 apparently only exists when the drive is mounted, and gets erased from /dev/ otherwise. [13:45] milossh: but now things are a little different [13:45] harmus: and that's why it took so much time [13:45] ActionParsnip: What am I doing wrong? [13:45] * Yerushalmi really feels lost here :( [13:45] yeah, and we're gaining nice share piece now [13:45] Milossh: sure, but it depends how you mean "in the past" [13:45] milossh: it will take chromium a long time to [13:46] harmus: I personally don't think chromium will ever replace firefox [13:46] yerushalmi you could always reboot your computer multiple times and ubuntu will do an auto fsck once every 10-20 boots [13:46] Guys is anybody here having an information about how Unity Desktop will be like? [13:46] but that's mostly because I know a lot of things that you don't, as I'm always in the loop, as a contributor [13:46] dustin_: I've never seen it do that before... [13:46] Milossh: no browser wil replace any, users can choose as they wish. LUbuntu uses chromium as default browser [13:46] milossh: as a contributor it's best to believe in your product, keep it that way [13:47] !ot [13:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:47] harmus: I'm not biased, if that's what you're pointing at [13:47] In 10.10, When I change my resolution to 1440x900 the top and bottom panels are gone, but i appears when i change it back to 1024x768. Why is that? i have an intel i915GM on Dell inspiron 640m [13:47] milossh: but chromium will surely grow, i dont care if it gets bigger or not, all i want is IE to die [13:47] Yerusalmi I got aggraveted with it because when I was doing a lot of system reconfigurations I was rebooting 5 times a day [13:47] Milossh: being in the loop is moot, users see performance on the desktop and in every case I have advised chromium the user has seen a drastic improvement [13:47] pinoyoragon: Try resetting your panels in 1440x900? [13:47] !resetpanels | pinoyoragon [13:47] pinoyoragon: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:47] Hey guys [13:48] theanachron: there's a lot to find on google [13:48] red2kic, ubottu: ok i'll try [13:48] hi TheAnachron [13:48] harmus I have looked enough in google. [13:49] red2kic, ubottu: do i have to do this everytime i change resolution? [13:50] milossh: i didnt see that remark, i was not trying to say you're biased [13:50] http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/wireless_tools.30.pre9.tar.gz <-- is this the version in 10.10LTS ? [13:50] a beta ? [13:51] red2kic, ubottu: btw the icons on my desktop just flickered then no panels appeared...

Does anybody can help me to fix that please ? I can't use functions keys, and no software to fix the backlight too. [13:52] oh [13:52] Yerushalmi: sounds bad, you may want to use dd to take an image of the whole disk, just in case, you can then use testdisk (or maybe gparted) to define the partitions again, but don't format [13:53] what is the min amount of ram and hd required for the Bare VM install of 10.04LTS with SSH APT and nothing else? [13:53] Pici: ah, I meant 10.04 :) [13:53] red2kic: the panel likes to default to the monitor thats the 'primary display' fromw hat ive seen. You can drag the panels back and forth - alt-click on panel and drag it to where you want [13:53] ActionParsnip: Wait, that's not supposed to happen? (What's dd?)

I get garbage essid with that. Only way to connect is logging into GNOME !?!? [13:54] pinoyoragon: You said 24" monitor?

I wonder if your laptop's graphic card is powerful enough to manage both displays? [13:54] Dr_Willis: Aha! Thanks. [13:55] ActionParsnip: I guess I just wasn't unmounting it correctly.

[14:14] aurilliance, yes, IE 8, here: http://is.gd/gW3W5 [14:14] gdoteof, 10.10 has the newest thunderbird and firefox, have you tried installing the packages from 10.10 directy in your version of ubuntu? [14:15] gdoteof, or do you need the update functionality? [14:15] harmus: well balls then. no.. I haven't. I was hoping to keep everything managed by aptitude [14:15] hello [14:15] my mouse has at least 3 buttons non-used, how can I configure it? [14:15] Derp_: I think you can pass boot options, try noacpi. Perhaps there is something that your system doesn't like. [14:15] harmus: all i really need/want is to try the latest thunderbird. i need a new mail client.. evolution doesn't play along with my window manager [14:15] AnxiousNut, many thanks for that link mate [14:15] um is tcpdump a packet sniffer?

I am facing a small problem.. I have an SMB server.. smb shares... from which I want to attach files to emails that I send [14:21] WilliamHerry: what package did you remove [14:21] unfortunately, I am not able to attach or see the shares on my machine when I want to attach the files.. im using Thunderbird email client [14:21] please advise [14:22] twister004: what's the error [14:22] are the smb shares mounted, twister004 ? [14:22] well i am about due for a reinstall anyway. maybe this will be the straw [14:22] whatever package i remove, fcitx will exit, i guess [14:22] ikonia.. i dont see the shares [14:22] twister004, can you access the files if you go to ~\.gvfs\samba share name? [14:22] twister004: where are they mounted ? [14:22] WilliamHerry: which package did you remove before it started failing [14:22] twister004, copy the file to your home dir fist then attach [14:22] I have problem with sound system, I hear button/ confirmation sound after a short gap, how to rectify it? [14:23] Hi guys, I just installed (and updated) Ubuntu on my Dell Precision 380.... Everthing is fine execpt that eth0 has to be activated by hand !!! How come? [14:23] BluesKaj.. that's kinda bad dont u think? [14:23] twister004, try browsing the .gvfs folder instead of going directly to the mount points.. Thunderbird will treat those as local files rather than remote shares. [14:23] ikonia... there's no gvfs folder in my home dir [14:23] I have to type "ifconfig eth0" "dhclient" every time I reboot the computer :( [14:23] twister004: where are the shares mounted [14:23] twister004: where are they mounted [14:23] twister004, type ls ~/.gvfs in the terminal and see if the share is there [14:24] i am not sure, my mean is once i use software center or apt-get, it exit, no mater what package to install or remove [14:24] ikonia... I dont have them mounted... What i normally do is I go to 'Places->Network->Winodws Network'.and i see the server and shares [14:24] then when you want to attach a file, press ctrl+h when in your home folder, the .gvfs folder will show up [14:24] lhogie: how have you configured eth0 to auto start [14:24] twister004: ok - so they need to be mounted [14:25] twister004, no it's not bad , then it's done [14:25] twister004, you're not seeing it because it's hidden, press ctrl+h (means: show hidden files) [14:25] am I going to be able to import from evolution into thunderbird? [14:25] :( it doesn't see evolution [14:26] what the H [14:26] gdoteof, a time consuming workaround is copying the mails to an imap server in evolution and then loading the imap server in thunderbird [14:26] gdoteof: clam down [14:26] gdoteof: what format are you exporting from evolution [14:26] I'am new to the system [14:27] ikonia: i am drinking chamomile tea in the woods of vermont. I AM CALM [14:27] can any one help me [14:27] gdoteof: ok - so what format are you exporting the mails in evolution [14:27] harmus!... amazing! [14:27] thanks! [14:27] ikonia: jk. um.. i haven't even exported. i was using the import functionality from the tools menu. i was hoping it would just see the program.. instead it is a blank screen where i choose 'from' [14:28] gdoteof: ok - so how do you expect something to import if you haven't exported [14:29] ikonia: i was under the impression thunderbird was looking for 'expected programs' on the system and importing them automagically. the ui seems to give that impression [14:29] alguien me podria ayudar? [14:29] i just did a 'backup' of evolution [14:29] gdoteof: no - your mail is not a program, it's data [14:29] mi ordenador con ubuntu 10.04 se congela mucho === cliff__ is now known as cliff237 [14:30] ikonia: well yeah it's data but that data is stored in certain places by certain programs. in any case.. when i click import, and go to import 'everything' there isn't a place for me to 'select' data [14:30] gdoteof: because you need an import file, you need to export your mail before you can import it [14:31] ikonia: do i have to put that import file in a certain place? [14:31] gdoteof: you should be able to browse for it [14:31] mensen, i kpak de trein, bbl === pavi is now known as pavi-dine [14:31] "This wizard will improt mail mail messages... from other programs'..." well.. it doesn't [14:31] ikonia: do you have thunderbird 3? click the tools, import [14:31] gdoteof: it does, if you explort [14:32] and see what i mean. it really seems that it is trying to look for existing programs [14:32] ikonia: i do understand the idea of importing and exporting, but that doesn't seem like it is what this wizard is trying to do [14:32] ikonia: there is not an option to browse. [14:32] gdoteof, i can't select evolution either, i copied my mail via an imap server, but there's probably a faster way [14:33] ikonia: see! [14:33] gdoteof: I've just imported a file in thunderbird 3 (1 mail as a test) [14:33] gdoteof: how are you using thunderbird 3 on 9.10 [14:34] ikonia: i downloaded it and ran it [14:34] http://www.mozillamessaging.com [14:34] gdoteof: ok - so that's not going to be aware of any applications on your system [14:34] ikonia: which is what i was saying before and you told me it wasn't doing that =P [14:35] so nobody knows why eth0 is down by default? :( [14:35] gdoteof: you asked how to import mail from evolution, you can export and import the mail file, the tool your talking about won't work as your 3rd party built thunderbird won't be aware of any applications [14:35] root_: how did you tell it to come up auto in the first place ? [14:36] any idea where the magic that makes thunderbird aware of applications lives? === Adam__ is now known as adammw111 [14:36] ikonia: i exported from evolution, i don't see where to import a file [14:36] it only lets me select from some list of applications it sees [14:36] ikonia, i believe what you're saying, but on 10.10, both evolution and thunderbird installed (via software center) and they are not aware of each other [14:37] Hi, I'm trying to install 10.10, what's the reccommended partition size and location? [14:37] adammw111, are you using the live cd? [14:37] coz_, yes [14:37] harmus: yes, I can see that (looking at 10.10 now) [14:38] adammw111, well I wouldnt give it less than 5 gigs but you should also see the graphical partition sliders ...yes? [14:38] adammw111, are you dual booting? [14:39] gdoteof: the information in this guide does not make good reading for your situation http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/importing_mail_from_evolution?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=widget_mozilla_messaging [14:39] coz_, i need to do a manual partition as it's a dell and I need to keep the mediadirect partitions. it's not a dual boot, but i'd rather the boot partition logical and the root an extended partition [14:39] looks like harmus' solution is the right solution then [14:40] adammw111, ah I think I understand... how large is the remiander of the hard drive? [14:40] that is wonky as balls [14:40] adammw111, give /boot 2 gigs (to be really sure, 200 megs is enough but you need to clean it once in a while), root like 20 gb to be really sure, and choose how much you want for /home [14:40] gdoteof: it's certainly not a good process [14:42] harmus... i had a query.. will the .gvfs folder remain if I remove the machine from the network? [14:42] adammw111, the space for root depends on how much software you're planning to install, if it's really basic like 5 gb is enough [14:42] twister004, the folder will remain but it will be empty [14:42] harmus.. say I connect via pptp to the network... will it get re-populated with the samba shares? [14:43] twister004, yup [14:43] I'm having some trouble using pitivi, my output works fine, but youtube thinks my ~9 minute videos are 5 hours long [14:43] oh.. then this is gr8! [14:43] twister004, that is, if you connect to the samba shares again [14:43] thanks harmus!!! [14:43] anyone ever experience this? [14:43] harmus... so I will have to again goto Places->Connect to Server? [14:43] gparted keeps crashing, does fdisk show extended partitions because I've got one that is "W95 Ext'd (LBA)" but i'm not sure what it is [14:43] and manually connect to each share? [14:43] twister004, you can create a bookmark [14:44] a bookmark for each share? [14:44] twister004, yeah, or 1 bookmark for the server, showing all shares [14:45] ;.//////]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] [14:45] hmm [14:45] let me try [14:45] adammw111: fdisk should list all partitions, just do in terminal fdisk -l /dev/(device) to list all [14:45] ohir: please don't do that [14:46] so so so guys, I've just become a ubuntuer :). removed vista for good. had a couple of problems but it's all fixed now [14:46] So far i've got 5, dell utility, NTFS (C:), W95 Ext'd (LBA), NTFS (D:), dd (mediadirect/unknown/fat32) [14:47] k6mnnnnnnnn[hjn~ [14:48] harmus.. I can't add it as a bookmark [14:48] probably a cat on his keyboard [14:48] harmus.. I can only add the .gvfs folder as a bookmark.. nothing under it [14:48] it just disappears [14:49] adammw111: haven't seen it before but you could google it to get more info oabout it [14:49] ? [14:50] nikos: what ? [14:50] how do i make it not ask my for password after my screen goes to sleep [14:50] AR_, its setting in your screensaver preferences [14:50] is there a super-simple logging program? I essentially want the equivalent of "program_to_log | cat > mine.log", except with log rotation. I'd also accept something that simply truncates logs after a certain size. [14:50] AR_: set the screen saver to lock, and make sure the screensaver is shorter than the sleep option [14:51] netzapper: what exactly do you want to log ? [14:51] where is screensaver options [14:51] oh nvm [14:51] found it [14:51] ikonia: I have a mess of tiny daemons running through daemontools, and I'd like their stdout put into log files (one each). [14:51] netzapper: nohup them [14:51] would there be any problems with a /boot of 1GB? [14:52] adammw111: it would be a massive waste, but no [14:52] ikonia: I didn't realize that nohup was a logging tool. [14:52] ikonia, apparently, i actually have to waste 2gb. stupid dell [14:52] netzapper: it's not, but it will send the std out to nohup.out [14:53] ikonia: nohup doesn't play nice with daemontools... the latter is non-negotiable. [14:53] netzapper: just use a redirect then such as 2>out.txt [14:54] right, but that doesn't fulfill the second part of my requirements which is that there is some upper bound on the log file size. I'm fully aware I could just redirect, but that's insufficient. [14:54] hi, does anyone use iFolder here? [14:54] netzapper: use log rotate [14:55] just a question: Why would you need the /boot to be 1 GB? [14:56] i don't but that's the minimum C: drive size i can set [14:56] ikonia: okay, so what you're saying is that, no, you don't know of a tool that fits my bill. Thanks for trying. [14:56] netzapper: the solution I've given you will fit your bill [14:56] does anyone know how to stop gparted crashing on the livecd? [14:56] I haven't been here for the whole conversation adamm, can you briefly tell me what you are trying to do [14:58] well, at the moment the idea is to install the standard dell partitions so it will be happy then use the "C: drive" space for /boot, and make the rest of the partitions in the extended partitions [14:58] or is that also a bad idea? [14:58] Hello. Anyone knows how to make bell work in gnome? [14:59] using a windows root as a boot partition [14:59] that's so not a good idea [14:59] well it doesnt actually have windows installed on it [15:00] it's that 200mb recovery partition that Windows 7 installs isn't it? [15:00] adammw111, the gparted-live cd or ubuntu-live cd , crashes? [15:00] BluesKaj, the ubuntu 10.10 live cd. "Disk Utility" and fdisk work, but gparted dies scanning /dev/sda [15:01] I used gnome-phone-manager to send sms from my mobile broadband dongle on lucid but on maverick it does not detect the device === karthick1987 is now known as karthick87 [15:01] Mobile broadband still works fine though [15:01] Shadowcat, my dell's too old for recovery partitions i think. it's got a "utility" partition thogh which is at the start of the drive, but i haven't touched that [15:01] adam, is XP installed on the pc? === k is now known as Guest17140 [15:02] i've got a a VPS that I installed [15:02] no os is installed yet, dell has just partitioned it for xp [15:02] (oops, sorry) === Guest17140 is now known as kerin [15:02] adammw111, best to burn a gparted live cd and use that as your partition editor ..if you are installing from the ubuntu live cd then let it'd embedded partition editor do the partitoning .. there are 3 options [15:02] Ok, so are you trying to do a clean format? [15:03] I'm using ubuntu/kubuntu 10.04 LTS. I did this command earlier today: sudo rm -rf *.la /usb/lib/* -- How can I fix this problem? I'm currently using a live cd on the affected computer. [15:03] adammw111, what on earth are you doing mixing xp and linux partitions? [15:03] * ohir apologizes for his cat playing :/ [15:03] Paddy_NI: sounds like the new kernel had parts of the module removed then, you may need to just find it, compile, and load via modprobe [15:03] clean install, i need the weird dell partitons so not a clean format. and im trying not to have any xp partitions. [15:03] I know this isn't the correct channel but is there a more robust IRC client the Konversation? [15:03] Anyone know how I can install Ubuntu?

With firefox it works great. Now I have a script (parsing google Scholar) and I want to change the ip for every request I do, so I stay hidden from big brother. How is this managable? If vidala is on, does this mean, that anything, that I do with ma computer runs through the Tor network or only the things I make with firefox?

[15:12] what [15:12] saha: are you using ubuntu? that will install it. [15:12] Aufwind, well, tor needs to be configured to work with whatever you're doing just like Firefox, or xchat for that matter.. you're not hidden just because you have it running [15:12] Aufwind, maybe you already know that [15:12] hello [15:12] no not this time is begining [15:13] goltoof: Yes, but I don't know how to configure tor, so that it works with my terminal... You got a hint for me?

Its the fact that all debian distros have decided to adopt the new GDM and KDM configs. No, my multiseatX environment is broken and throwing fits and the patched stuff for it DOESN'T work [15:17] saha: Application ->accessories [15:17] and of course, it worked with 8.04, but now that's not supported anymore [15:17] Hello everyone. I'm having some problems with my wired eth0. It's always worked fine, but I just booted up and it's saying "device not managed" under wired networks. I'm not sure what exactly this means. [15:18] tortoise [15:18] reboot [15:18] goltoof: Did you see that? http://bit.ly/caargk XChat is listed below... [15:18] This is linux. You have to reboot more than Windows to get it to work right [15:18] I'm not a power user or anything, I compile stuff with gcc from time to time, but I probably wouldn't notice a feature if it were broken [15:18] lol [15:18] ok find it [15:18] gamerpro2000: alright, I'll be right back if that doesn't work [15:18] and then [15:19] Does anyone know how to resolve a segmentation fault signal 13?

I can see it when I login to LiveCD [15:20] have you tried the alternate ISO [15:20] Keshi, I would open synaptic hit search and type icedtea and remove "all" that are listed there [15:20] Aufwind, no I haven't.. i just followed the steps at the project site since the other isn't kept up to date (as they say) https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian [15:20] Aufwind, i'll try it though, thanks! [15:20] joe85, try the alternative install method [15:20] and see if it helps [15:20] goltoof: yw [15:20] gamerpro2000: it's giving me the same message [15:21] I will have a look. I do not think icedtea is running as a plugin in firefox at all though. [15:21] So, what does it matter? Can you not connect ot the network or something? [15:21] who controls SS repo updates? [15:21] Not with a wired connection [15:21] wow some download is getting [15:21] tortoise, does it interfere with your ability to get online? [15:21] gamerpro2000, what do you mean alternate install?

I should have looked that up. sry [15:22] tortoise, that means that another application besides network manager is managing your network adapter. If it doesn't affect your ability to connect, don't worry about it [15:22] joe85, its cool. Hope it helps [15:22] saha: openvpn works in terminal but it is not so hard to launch [15:22] petan thanks [15:23] saha: you will need to set up server then you will be able to connect to it [15:23] hey, how to reset/renew ip in ubuntu? [15:23] saha: with openvpn client [15:23] gamerpro2000: it doesn't affect my ability to connect, but it does affect my ability to connect via a wired connection, therefore I want to fix it.

[15:46] joe can u see it in fdisk?

I can see my SSD. THen I click install on the desktop and it doesnt show it [15:49] I have this nasty problem: can't boot into 2.6.35 after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 and grub2. The error message says gave up waiting for root device [15:49] lock, but, it sounds like you're a fedora guy, so you probably don't even know [15:49] paddy_: sheel in a box is not in the ubuntu repos [15:49] oops, shell in a box I mean [15:49] LjL, and truncating the information i don't want to see. [15:49] i had to pre format making a swap and ext4 [15:49] nsahoo, does the prompt say initramfs ? [15:50] dlynes_laptop: im sure that option is listed in ubuntu forums [15:50] coz_: yes after that it drops to intramfs prompt [15:50] echo, it shows up in disk utility [15:50] nsahoo, ok at that prompt type exit and hit enter [15:50] is it formated? [15:50] dlynes_laptop: all of these distros are essentially the same, just different filenames with different paths [15:50] Can anybody please tell me what this log means? http://pastebin.com/qg1TtiXz [15:50] nsahoo, then tell me if it boots to desktop [15:50] when during the install does it hang? [15:51] lock, yeah...but ubuntu doesn't use the standard kernel splash screen, because as i said, it's got a throb bar [15:51] coz_: let me reboot for that. i'll loginto this chatroom from another machine [15:51] echo, it was formatted as ext4 [15:51] when during the install does it hang? [15:51] krisphillips: it's a seg fault, it means there is a problem with your X server, based on what I'm seeing I'd guess the ATI module [15:51] ikonia: which channel should I be on then? [15:51] goltoof: i've searched a bit, but can't see a program like that [15:51] paddy_: shell in a box support ? [15:52] ikonia, any ideas on how to fix it? Its intermittent and only happens once and a while. 2 out of 4 of my displays won't start. [15:52] LjL, maybe you know this answer.. how would i truncate the output of, say, uptime.. so it only shows the days it's been up ? [15:52] krisphillips: intermittent, interesting, I wonder if it's hardware related then, eg: a bit of bad ram, have you done a ram test on your machine ? [15:52] echo, now when I try to format it says Daemon is inhibited [15:52] LjL, not the user or load averages [15:52] LjL, that'd be a good first step.. [15:52] dlynes_laptop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11478 [15:52] goltoof: uptime | awk ' { print $3 } ' [15:53] coz_: it does not get into desktop after I type exit and enter [15:53] ikonia, its for a school and I have 20 computers with identical hardware that have the same problem [15:53] goes right back to initramfs [15:53] Leemp, :) [15:53] How come that I've set my language to Engelsh but in some windows it isn't englesh? [15:53] hmm give me a min [15:53] english* [15:53] krisphillips: really, I'd guess (and it is just a case based on experience) it's just an instability with the ATI driver - it's closed source and known to be poor [15:53] nsahoo, did you try it several times...usually you have to wait about 5 seconds or so before typing exit [15:53] goltoof: if you want to build this yourself, i think the most useful commands you should keep in mind are awk, head, tail and cut [15:53] ikonia, I'm using the radeon driver, not fglrx [15:54] nsahoo, and you are dual booted? [15:54] krisphillips: still poor [15:54] LjL, what if i only want to show the top 5 processes in top? [15:54] hex0: what windows [15:54] ikonia, got a suggestion? [15:54] Firefox [15:54] LjL, right.. still haven't gotten savvy with awk or operators [15:54] krisphillips: I'd log a bug and get the back track examined [15:54] krisphillips: what ubuntu version is it ? [15:54] hex0: do you have apt version? [15:54] 10.04 lts [15:54] krisphillips: yeah, I'd log a bug [15:55] coz_: i am not dual booted, i waited for a bit and tried again now. the error is "gave up waiting for root device" it's looking for sda1 but /dev/sda1 is not there. only /dev/sda and /dev/sdb [15:55] k [15:55] krisphillips: maybe try to get someone from the xorg project to take a look too [15:55] hex0: I mean aptitude installed, or default [15:55] Will do.

Is there a fix for this available? Before I just installed wicd and apt-get wanted to remove network-manager which was fine with me since I didn't want to use it anyway. However, when I tried to install wicd before on 10.04 it didn't remove network-manager [16:04] can anyone see my text, just checking [16:04] Eighteens: yes [16:04] ikonia thank you [16:05] hotbody, we will assume that you're downloading LEGAL torrents.... in which case you can use Transmission [16:05] ikonia: we have to ask that to the installer folks. I did a fresh install of 10.10 to resolve this problem [16:05] hotbody, that comes with ubuntu, there are several others out there to try [16:05] nsahoo: then you shouldn't have the .32 kernel [16:05] nsahoo: 10.10 comes with 2.6.35 kernel [16:06] is it possible to install a Ubuntu network just for web-surfing on a windows networked PC? [16:06] will first boot after install be longer than a normal start up time? [16:06] researcher1: an ubuntu network ? that makes no sense [16:06] ikonia: it might also come with the 2.6.32 kernels. otherwise i'd not have it here [16:06] hey [16:06] nsahoo: it doesn't [16:06] nsahoo: it comes with 2.6.35 only [16:06] how do i install "grab" [16:06] i cant use the command grab [16:07] "grab: command not found" [16:07] i hate to repeat myself, i'm really a patient person, can anyone offer some help to a old man, and his 8yr old boy, who seemed to mess up his desktop... I just want to know how to reset his desktop to the last working state [16:07] ikonia: the update manager might have updated it afterwards. I don't know. Just that 2.6.35 is not booting here where as 2.6.32 is [16:07] hax, what is that? [16:07] nsahoo: it's important to know where that other kernel came from as it may explain what's changed/broke [16:07] goltoof: a comand, "grab" [16:07] hello, is there a utility to check remote servers for apt updates (for ubuntu) [16:08] hax, yes but what's it for? what does grab do?

[16:09] goltoof: yes, he can log in, but all he sees is wallpaper, and only for a few seconds, then the system throws him back to the login screen [16:09] goltoof: i dident understand what u wass after [16:09] kyle___: seems the same. [16:09] the forums are riddled with this error reports without any clear answer. lot of people are experiencing the error "gave up waiting for root device" [16:09] Followed the instructed and copied it manually to the folder. [16:09] goltoof: this happened after he changed a zoom option in apperance, visual preferences [16:09] hax just curious [16:10] Eighteens, hmm.. not familiar with that one [16:10] goltoof: kk, but do u know what package i need to install? === ChrisH__ is now known as wikor [16:10] nsahoo: I'm just trying to work out if 10.10 shipped with 2.6.32 [16:10] nsahoo: it's looking like it actually did [16:10] goltoof, actually he checked a box, that was un-checked, and immediately the system threw him back to the login screen [16:11] Does anyone else have a problem with smbclient in 10.10?

I have to enter my wifi password everytime I boot. (I have auto-login setup though) how can I get Ubuntu to remember the password? I can't find it in the gui anywhere. [16:18] wessel, hmm... gimp.... gimp... and gimp will accomplish all of those [16:18] nenu, what that will do is allow you to change the system theme but it actually will only change the gdm log in screen since it is root [16:18] yes, but gimp is so damn hard to learn [16:18] think it was in after his checking the box in simple compizconfig settings manager [16:18] nenu, there is also something called GDM2setup [16:19] E: Couldn't find package pinta [16:19] wessel@wegumar7 ~ $ sudo apt-get install pinta [16:19] last nsahoo [16:19] coz, that crashed my firefox [16:19] nenu, oh???

I can't figure out which is which codepad.org/QNLv9R9O [16:20] wessel, hard to learn, but powerful.. you'll be better off in the long run learning gimp [16:20] coz_, goltoof, all i know is he was really happy, now after checking that zoom option, the system threw him back to the login screen and he can't do anything after logging back in, just the wallpaper on the desktop, no menus, and after about 5 seconds it throws him back to login screen again [16:21] coz, anyways i downloaded that stuff [16:21] I doubt it goltoof [16:21] where to disable window flying animation? [16:21] Eighteens, can he get to text console? [16:21] coz_ but i was able to login his system, with the root user, really wierd, and it works fine in that users session [16:21] maybe some day an easier program will come to life [16:22] coz, no menu's, even tried alt-f2 [16:22] I find it easier to manipulate pixels in Matlab, or java, then in gimp! :P [16:22] Eighteens, ok as root user hit ctrl+alt+F1 if still root type exit and log in as user [16:22] wessel, You just haven't learned gimp yet. [16:22] Eighteens, then run this command to reset gnome to defaults sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart X [16:22] ikonia: coz_: sorry I was trying to change some grub configurations and grub-update etc. So, I was away. do you have any suggestions? [16:23] nsahoo, I havent found one no sorry [16:23] wessel, It's a steep curve admittedly but there is no way it is 'harder' writing a java program to do that same thing. [16:23] wessel, i'm a graphic designer, it took me a while to learn it but it pays off knowing a program that's as powerful as photoshop but without the cost [16:23] wessel, http://pinta-project.com/ [16:23] ravionrails, yes, just installed pinta, testing now [16:24] ok [16:24] * dddw RL awaits [16:24] nenu, also http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/gdm2-setup-gets-new-look-and-ubuntu-ppa.html if you want to try gdm2setup === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett === Guest58730 is now known as duckx0r [16:26] hi. how come nvidia-detector doesn't find the card. lspci lists that I have a GeForce Go 6600 [16:26] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.

If there is no GDM there is no autologin. [16:30] julianoliver, If you're nervous about it turn auto-logon off in the gui then remove gdm [16:30] nsahoo: I'd be more concerned at why you have a broken install [16:30] edbian: on Debian (and older versions of Ubuntu) it was possible to setup autologin and calling startx in a shell script. [16:30] nsahoo: your 10.10 install should not come with a .32 kernel, I would class your system as unstable/broke === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [16:31] edbian: you didn't need GDM to have this feature. [16:31] julianoliver, yeah. Oh, you WANT auto-login. I have no idea if inittab is missing [16:31] edbian: ok, cheers [16:32] julianoliver, sorry [16:32] np [16:32] I installed Ubuntu 10.10 recently, now I cannot log in.

I'm new to Ubuntu. [16:34] Doug_S: read what I said, it's step by step [16:35] In Windows, there is a little add-on from Microsoft that allows you add a "Command Prompt Here" right-click menu option when viewing the file system with Explorer. It has always seemed to me that this would be a very nice option for Linux, and much in the spirit of Linux. But Nautilus does not support this. Is there something that provides this capability? [16:35] ActionParsnip, please read my questions more carefully. auto-login is working. Remembering my wifi password is not working. [16:35] stevecoh1: you can get nautilus scripts for that [16:35] edbian: oic, then I suggest a blank keyring password [16:36] ActionParsnip: great. Can you please provide me with details? [16:36] stevecoh1: konqueror (f4) :) [16:36] edbian: it will then not bother you for one [16:36] Hi, I stupdily shutdown the computer while it was booting up, and now everytime I boot i get the text-based startup instead of the nice splash screen. how can i get the graphical splash back? [16:36] ActionParsnip, Will it pop-up and I have to press enter? [16:36] anything outside of konqueror? [16:36] stevecoh1, You should google nautilus scripts. :) there is much to learn [16:36] stevecoh1: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-executing.php [16:36] hi where can I go to troubleshoot my mail on ubuntu, I am using nullmailer since I want to develop [16:36] stevecoh1: http://www.watchingthenet.com/add-open-command-prompt-here-functionality-to-nautilus-in-ubuntu.html [16:36] edbian: no, it won't bother you [16:37] ActionParsnip, Thanks === NG_ is now known as ng_ [16:37] has anyone setup nullmailer before and got it working? [16:37] goltoof, can you link me to a simple gimp guide that shows how to edit some screenshot?

[16:39] wessel, http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ [16:39] Eighteens, cool [16:39] wessel, http://tutorialblog.org/gimp-tutorials/ [16:40] but do you really think that gimp is also suited for simple tasks? [16:40] instead of making fancy pictures... [16:40] where do i get gdm2setup [16:40] IIlutz: I am looking for help or any information to troubleshoot my nullmailer mailing related , basically I have setup apache2 and run my php site, my php site emails @gmail.com type of emails so I need an exit outside that is why nullmailer, but it is not working [16:40] wessel: gpaint [16:40] wessel, don't know of a tutorials specific to what you're asking... best thing is to find a tutorial closest to what you're trying to accomplish [16:40] wessel: there gpaint :) [16:40] simple tasks are like: crop an image [16:40] wessel: simple and good [16:40] remove some text [16:40] petan: great minds eh ;) [16:41] OMG, thanks guys. How did I ever live without this? [16:41] wessel, i use it for everything, simple or not [16:41] wessel: use tuxpaint if you want a simple text editor with sound effects :) [16:41] IIlutz: also I want to issue from the console terminal a command like mail [16:41] but it does not work as expected [16:41] ActionParsnip, Thank you. That worked. [16:41] wessel, there are alternatives Pinta comes to mind...also imagemagick [16:41] cordoval_: have you checked logs for errors? install bsd-mailx for mail-command [16:41] wessel, but by all means try other programs, maybe another will suit you better for what you do [16:41] I have been trying for weeks to make this work now.

Not the icons but the list of favorites and different app categories. (it's missing on my system after an update) [16:42] the problem is that mails get stuck on the queue when I do mailq I can see them stuck [16:42] edbian: unity [16:42] ActionParsnip, Thanks again! [16:42] np [16:43] cordoval_: have you checked logs for errors? /var/log/mail.err (.log) [16:43] Eighteens, ah yes that can cause issues if you press the wrong keybindings... yeah if disabled that's fine ...unless you really need zoom in which case I would use magnifiyer plugin instead [16:43] Nov 11 11:37:31 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[986]: Sending failed: Protocol error [16:43] Eighteens, rather magnifier plugin [16:44] yeah it wouldn't let him back in, but it's working again, and he's so happy, No school today, so it gave him a chance to mess things up, haha [16:44] and before [16:44] Nov 10 22:55:54 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[2509]: smtp: Failed: Connect failed [16:44] Eighteens, :) very cool [16:44] Nov 10 22:55:54 cordoval-laptop nullmailer[986]: Sending failed: Host not found [16:44] time for father son bonding, hehe, i wanted to kick his butt for messing it up, but haha, i learned something too, anyway, thanks for your help [16:45] is proposed updates considered alpha, beta, or RC?

It isn't there. I tried to start it, it said it was already running. I killed those processes (nothing happened). And tried to run it agian. Still says it's already running. It's def. not there. [16:45] IIlutz: I will clean the log and try again sending and see what the line is actually hold on [16:45] I'm looking for a way to connect to a serial port on my ubuntu machine through bluetooth. I have been able to connect to an RFCOMM tty, but not to the serial port. I tried using socat, but that didn't work. It seems like rfcomm_sppd from BSD would do the trick, but I can't find a version compiled for ubuntu/debian. Anyone know where I could find this or a different solution?

(I find it unlikely that they can become root without asking you for the root password) [16:49] can anyone tell me the steps for installing vmware 7.1.2 in 10.10 X64 [16:49] i'm trying to update > upgrade my old server running 8.10, and after switching my /etc/apt/sources.list to the old-releases.ubuntu.com repo and doing an apt-get upgrade i get a lot of 404 not found errors, even after running apt-get update. anyone know what to do? [16:49] ActionParsnip would you mind pm'n me that link again, my scrollback buffer is small, i can't see your link anymore, thanks man [16:49] or just repaste it [16:49] with the repositories, and updates, there is backports, and proposed, how 'dangerous' or 'risky' is proposed considered to be? [16:49] cordoval_: are you sure nullmailer supports TLS and smtp-auth? [16:49] ActionParsnip, thank you sir! [16:50] shane4ubuntu: Packages are put into proposed for testing before they drop into -updates. So.. I'd tread that as somewhere between beta and RC. [16:50] I was told that by the httpd guys, they are ferocious [16:50] cordoval_: maybe this thelps http://jonspriggs.posterous.com/use-gmails-smtp-gateway-using-the-command-lin [16:50] helps* [16:51] Because of incompatibility issues with my video driver, to use compiz I have to use libdecoration1:8.4, instead of the current latest version in apt, libdecoration1:8.6. Is there a way to flag libdecoration not to update automatically, when I use apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade? [16:51] Pici, ok, thanks! I'm having major problems with Evolution, so think I'm going to install the proposed update, don't think it could get worse.

I think it should otherwise it would not be as popular, it would be useless, ok checking the information now [16:51] cordoval_: if nothing works, i'd go with ssmtp http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/ [16:51] ActionParsnip: thanks [16:51] karthick87: i know how to add one to ubottu....if thats what you want [16:52] Installation Failed VMware Workstation v7 1 2 301548 Linux x64 [16:52] In the installation procedure, it asks for whether to save the configuration files or not.

[16:53] IIutz: hmmm [16:54] akashj87, virtualbox [16:54] cordoval_: as i said, i'd go with ssmtp. simple to setup and works fine http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/ [16:54] ok, i wasted so much time getting it :( [16:54] akashj87: the guide will tell you how to install it, i recommend virtualbox myself, it is in the repos so can be installed like any other package [16:55] i see, ty ActionParsnip and goltoof [16:55] akashj87, you're not the only one here who spent a lot of time doing something futile :) [16:56] I had already seen http://jonspriggs.posterous.com/use-gmails-smtp-gateway-using-the-command-lin ... I will go for the latter link [16:56] I will switch to ssmtp [16:56] in the forums they say about some patch things , its not mentioned anywhere that it wont install on ubuntu [16:56] http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/ [16:56] trying now... [16:56] cordoval_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:57] cordoval_: i guess its easier and doesn't need additional stuff like xinetd as in the 1st URL i gave you [16:58] yes right [16:59] hi === max is now known as Guest68306 [17:00] can anyone tell me any good browser integration like roboform, which also work offline ? === nick is now known as Guest69604 [17:00] Hello everybody!

[17:02] vivek312: sudo dpkg -i /folder/*deb [17:02] ActionParsnip, asked you on how to add a factoid [17:02] ActionParsnip : I have just started using linux. On windows i have roboform which integrates well with firefox. Any similar like that ? Keepassx dont have browser integration. [17:02] can anyone help? [17:03] karthick87: oic, use: /msg ubottu thing is descriptio [17:03] vivel312: sudo dpkg -i * [17:03] vivek312: sudo dpkg -i * [17:03] ask ! vivek312 [17:03] karthick87: e.g. /msg ubottu !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage!

[17:05] akashj87: the browser remembers passwords for you anyway [17:05] vivek312: sudo dpkg -i /folder/*.deb why don't you read your answers? [17:05] I have a python script, tor (vidala) installed and I want to retrieve a webpage through the tor network by httplib by calling the skript by terminal. Is this possible? [17:05] get into your directory containing the packages and then enter that command [17:05] Aufwind, tor simply sucks.. :) [17:06] ActionParsnip, can i add ubottu Factoids database to my bot..? [17:06] Guest68306: I need an IP changer. Can you suggest something else? [17:06] ActionParsnip : it will only remember one for a particular site. what if i have multiple ? [17:06] I have added Banshee to the sound indicator/control in Maverick, but I the controls there doesn't work, neither does it show the song being played. [17:06] maybe off topic.. is there a way to stack irc chat windows? 1x2, 2x2? [17:06] goltoof: what client ? [17:06] karthick87: it's at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [17:07] and what's the consensus on a good terminal based irc [17:07] eps [17:07] ikonia, xchat === carlos_ is now known as pacopepe [17:07] Aufwind, write the question to the screen.. i or other can help up accordingly... :) [17:07] goltoof: try #xchat I'm sure someone will know there [17:07] I have a problem with Ibus. No Pinyin option. I have installed pinyin in the language settings but still shot showing up. any ideas how to get it to show up??? thanks [17:07] ikonia, yea thx [17:07] IIlutz: I did all the commands on the link you sent [17:07] akashj87: not sure, i believe they drop down in the browser if you remember them and you can choose [17:07] irssi is good ncurses-based irc [17:07] when I do sudo ssmtp cordoval@gmail.com it kind of freezes [17:07] sam_010203: have you installed the ibus pinyin packages? [17:07] ActionParsnip, i have already downloaded the database,how to add it to my database..? [17:07] tensorpudding, kthx [17:07] oh wait, I got one email [17:07] tensorpudding, yes. [17:08] ActionParsnip : I see. Thank you for all your support. [17:08] goltoof: i use irssi [17:08] Guest68306: The question is: How to run a script several times, but each time with another ip, so googlescholar wouldn't be watching whole the time. =) [17:08] sam_010203: are you sure? [17:08] karthick87: that i don't know. [17:08] IIutz: thank you so much! [17:09] tensorpudding, i did the exact same thing i did last time. but for some reason its not showing up. i might have missed something but i dont know what. [17:09] Hi, I'm looking for a way to send syslog's from my Ubuntu machine to a remote syslog server, does anyone know of a good write up and/or which file I need to edit? [17:09] i just started using linux, i am liking ubuntu. [17:09] sam_010203: i had this problem trying to install anthy; even though it appeared in the ibus language thing, i couldn't actually use it until i installed the ibus-anthy package [17:09] karthick87: seems to be maintained by Seveas [17:09] sam_010203: if that's not it, i don't really know [17:09] so just sudo apt-get install ibus-anthy then? [17:10] Aufwind, like wisely i said question is important...what are you going through..~! [17:10] llutz: thanks really [17:10] obfu, don't suppose you know if you can stack chat rooms? i'd like to keep multiple rooms visible [17:10] sam_010203: for you, ibus-pinyin, i'd guess [17:10] ActionParsnip, thank you :) [17:10] ok tensorpudding. ill take a look. [17:10] whats anthy anyway? [17:11] goltoof: I know there is a way to show 2 in one terminal window, I don't usualy do that, but let me look for how [17:11] it's a japanese entry mode [17:11] ahh.. [17:11] ok [17:11] yeah dont need that. lol [17:11] goltoof: terminator can do just that. [17:12] Guest68306: Well I am using a python libarary called httplib to make a request to googlescholar (input are certain searchterms) and to parse the response of googlescholar. But right now I am stuck because google bans me everytim, I use the script more often, then a 100 times. So I want to use an ip changer to avoid the ban. That is the whole thing. :D [17:12] bastidrazor, is that a client? or some cl tool? [17:12] bastidrazor, dumb question [17:12] thx [17:13] tensorpudding, 成功啦～！ 多謝 [17:14] Guest68306: I thought of TOR to be a goof solution, but I don't get it configured properly. It works fine with the Tor-Button and Firefox, but not with my python skript, which I do call from terminal. [17:14] Aufwind, changing the ip simply would not change anything, as your a smart you should figure out by now! [17:14] Guest68306: What woul you suggest? [17:14] +d [17:14] Aufwind, /j #tor [17:15] Aufwind, at this point it's not really an ubuntu specific issue [17:15] Aufwind, yeh goltoof did give you nearest hint...pls follow.. :) [17:15] Well that is right. But over there no one is responding and I hoped someone could share his experience with me. Thanks anyway. [17:16] Aufwind, wish i knew.. also keep in mind you really don't need what you're asking for, unless you're doing something illegal or are just paranoid [17:17] Aufwind, simply people with simple word and knowledge.. [17:17] !lts [17:17] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [17:18] goltoof: It is for science. :-) Nothing illegal. I just want to avoid the bans, and to automate my script, so I don't have to stick to my computer, while it is running. The results will be published in a paper next January. :) [17:18] goltoof: that's a bizarre attitude. anonymity and the privacy it brings is a right, not a paranoid desire. [17:19] sad times we live in when a person using tor "has something to hide". anyway, i digress. [17:20] goltoof: I found a good guide at http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit [17:20] How to install ssh on 10.04 [17:20] Aufwind, try #linux they seem a little more receptive of this stuff there [17:20] hy everybody [17:20] Aufwind, and it's not dead [17:20] goltoof: Thanks [17:20] it is not accepting sudo apt-get install openssh-server [17:21] installed kubuntu today on the netbook of my wife. works fine but I do not have a minimize button. only a maximize. how do I get this button? [17:21] obfu, sweet! many thanks, sir [17:21] Aufwind: I would suggest contacting google if they are banning your requests and you are doing science, they may be able to get you access to an API or at least stop banning [17:22] obfu: That's an idea I wanted to follow last, because I needed testing data first. [17:22] obfu: But thanks. [17:22] Aufwind, why you don't tell us what are you trying to do.. [17:23] is tor even supported now? [17:24] julianoliver, oh i agree, i'd love nothing more than to completely not exist, on internets and irl. but i don't lose any sleep over it [17:24] !tor [17:24] Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks More information available in #freenode [17:24] ActionParsnip, very yes [17:24] anybody have any experience with WUBI installs? I'm trying to migrate from a wubi install to a real installation [17:24] !info tor [17:24] Package tor does not exist in maverick [17:24] is this the place to get help with ubuntu problems? [17:24] goltoof: its not as its not in the official repo :) [17:24] Quimper: indeed [17:24] yeh! Quimper [17:25] ok rather a long explination [17:26] I have an ebook reader with a 4 gb sd card, i'm using calibre ebook library, and now there are problems, the sd card will no longer let me delete files [17:26] Guest68306: I have a list of locations, a list of names and a list of paper-titles. I want to check if google scholar "knows" about a constellation (n,p,l), where n is a name, p is a paper-title and l is a location. I am doing this for huge datasets. The result is routed through an algorithm (belief propagation) to make some inferences... That is the whole thing in very simple words. :) [17:26] Cron test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp (failed) [17:26] ive tried changing the permisions but it wont let me [17:26] anyone know what this is ? [17:27] mun27 - what does it say when you try sudo apt-get install openssh-server? [17:27] i open up the sd card file, left click on a folder click permissions and try to change anything and it just goes back to what it waas [17:27] Quimper: is it mouted writable? [17:27] Aufwind, that real.. keep it posted someone will answer above my head.. :) [17:27] hi folks [17:28] is there a download place where I can download daily lucid builds? [17:28] what does mouted writable mean [17:28] or such builds only exist for ubuntu+1? [17:28] pete: Package openssh-server is not available, but it is referred to by another package [17:28] zaytsev: only for +1 [17:29] Pidgin keeps crashing on arbitrary moments on 10.10. [17:29] I already have the PPA. [17:29] zaytsev: you can enable the backports repo in lucid which will let you install packages from maverick that have been ported [17:29] IdleOne, that sucks, but thanks. I need Luicd livecd with all latest updates installed. Should I chroot into the image and do apt-get dist-upgrade inside and then repack? [17:29] Aedolon, can you find cause of the crash! [17:30] Guest68306: No, how would I do that? [17:30] mun27 - it sounds like you are not pointing to the correct repositories. Do you know how to check them? Also, which distribution are you on? E.G. Hardy or Jaunty or whatever [17:30] zaytsev: sounds like you know more then I do. but /msg ubottu remaster will give you more info about that [17:30] actionparsnip what does mouted writable mean [17:30] IdleOne, I need a livecd ;) but I wanted one with latest updates. I was thinking daily builds exist for LTS also. [17:31] Aedolon, run it through terminal paste the output [17:31] pete_: I have installed 10.04 [17:31] desktop cversion [17:32] zaytsev: remastering the Live CD is doable and you can add the packages you need and remove those you don't [17:32] How to find if it is hardy or jaunty [17:32] mun27: lsb_release -a in a terminal [17:32] OK, that's what I'm running, and I just installed it fine. Standby I'll post my /etc/apt/sources.list [17:32] !remaster > zaytsev [17:32] zaytsev, please see my private message [17:33] it is lucid [17:33] IdleOne, ok, I'll do it by hand. Sounds like UCK is the way to go, but it's so poorly documented.. [17:33] anybody else want to try to help me alter permissions on an sd card? [17:34] Quimper: use: gksudo nautilus and you can do as you please [17:34] please speak english [17:35] mun27 - I just opened a private chat window. I posted the file contents in there [17:35] thx [17:35] I saw it [17:35] how to modify ut [17:36] Am I just weird, or is Gwibber a very poor Twitter client?

[17:41] cordoval: add "sudo" [17:41] before test [17:41] cordoval_: the error is pretty clear, the proces doesn't have permissions to create /var/run/sendmail [17:41] guys does ubuntu have a way to resize the active partition. just like mac osx does [17:41] michaelxq: or sun-java6-jre ... something like that [17:41] partition manager jubei [17:41] jubei: can't o active partitions [17:41] jubei: no afaik it always requires unmounting [17:41] laler: it can't do active partitions [17:41] oh' [17:41] prehaps I have installed sendmail as cordoval [17:41] izinucs, thx...this is what i was looking for [17:41] jubei: try with live cd [17:41] ActionParsnip, any clue? [17:42] cordoval_: how did you install sendmail ? [17:42] can I remove it now that I am using ssmtp? or should I fix that? [17:42] yesterday it was dying when trying to open detailed package view [17:42] aeon-ltd,laler, ikonia: thx [17:42] ikonia: don't remember, how do i fetch that info? [17:42] I seldom forget things but could be the case [17:42] cordoval_: if you no longer need sendmail, you can remove it [17:42] laler: does the account you are connecting with have decent access [17:42] izinucs, what to write at the synaptic package manager [17:42] I believe so ActionParsnip [17:42] How can i check [17:42] jubei: imagine the potential corruption available when resizing active partitions :), the apple (hfs) is suited to do that whereas the linux (extn) isn't probably due to file placement and fragmentation(although not a problem like in ntfs/windows) [17:43] trying to think how can one notice that user without root priviledges installed sendmail [17:43] cordoval_: it will have been installed as root (using sudo I suspect) [17:44] cordoval_: fakeroot compilation, then finished unknowingly by a root user maybe.... [17:44] right but now that i "messed" up probably I would like to be able to know that information [17:44] aeon-ltd: don't get it [17:44] !info fakeroot [17:44] fakeroot (source: fakeroot): Gives a fake root environment.

I set my laptop to never lock the screen, but it automatically does it after 15 mins. Anyone help me? [17:45] cordoval_: how are you going to remove it ? [17:45] I will do it this time as root i guess sudo apt-get uninstall sendmail ? [17:45] ActionParsnip, oic [17:45] cordoval_: that won't work [17:46] cordoval_: haven't used apt in while but isn't it 'remove' not uninstall [17:46] cordoval_: if you didn't install it using sudo (root) then you can't have used apt-get to install it [17:46] what about through the ubuntu software manager [17:46] I can download .html files from my apache server but not .exe files??? [17:46] let me try [17:46] anyone? [17:47] I can download .deb files from it [17:47] laler: what happens when you try to download an .exe ?

[18:34] how can i open or decompress .uha files? [18:34] i have tried winUHARC under wine but it was not good idea :) [18:35] ActionParsnip : ty again, i was afk, sry [18:35] hopeless8009, well put it this way: the loging screen just uses gtk widgets and runs as the user "gdm" therefore it just uses gtk themes to change how it looks, but if you want to change the input fields location or something then thats alot mroe complicated [18:35] mrmonday: try different combinations [18:35] hi, how do i transfer an opened application from one x-server to another? [18:35] im wondering if i should look into upgrading my xorg [18:35] hopeless8009, and becuase it's just a gtk theme used by a "user", the process is that you change the chosen theme of that user in its gconf setup... there are tools that make this really easy [18:35] airtonix: that worked :) thanks [18:36] airtonix, i have something i downlaoded with the icons and stuff so i just need to aplly it [18:37] hopeless8009, i would look at something called gdm2setup [18:37] airtonix, ok do i get that form software center [18:37] any way to list folders by number of files they contain? [18:37] hopeless8009, maybe im not sure, last time i had to grab it from a PPA [18:37] goltoof, in terminal or in nautilus ? [18:38] airtonix, not sure what a ppa is [18:38] When I try to use usb-creator.exe from the maverick ISO in Windows to install Ubuntu onto an NTFS flash drive, I get a "failed to install bootloader" error. [18:38] airtonix, either [18:38] !ppa | hopeless8009 [18:38] hopeless8009: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [18:38] i have xorg 1.7.6, should i want to upgrade it?? [18:38] !ppa | hopeless8009 [18:38] JamesGecko_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [18:39] goltoof, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-find-the-total-number-of-files-in-a-folder-510009/ [18:39] I've got a problem with my laptop and ubuntu, my gpu-fan is not recognized...what to do? [18:39] airtonix, well if its third party and not supported is there any other way [18:39] airtonix, thx [18:39] ActionParsnip, No; I got it from bittorrent. [18:39] In Ubuntu 10.04 I had installed pavucontrol and pavumeter so I could record the sounds playing on computer, but I cant do it in Maverick. Any tips? Pavucontrol shows the controls, but doesn't show the levels as volume being played [18:39] hopeless8009, there is but gdm2setup just does what you'd have to do manually [18:40] hopeless8009, http://ubuntuguide.net/change-login-window-theme-in-ubuntu-9-1010-04-and-higher [18:40] is there a way to get vim to autosave entries? [18:40] does tty7 make use of bash? i want to add a command to my .bashrc that will stop any commands until i enter some input, but this will obviously cause problems if tty7 uses it [18:40] JamesGecko_: still worth an md5 test, also check the health of the device too. You can use the 1 2 3 installer from pendrive linux too to put the ISO onto the USB [18:41] hopeless8009, you might like ubuntu-tweak better than gdm2setup (as it provides other useful features) [18:41] goltoof: it more or less does already. try "help swap" in vim. [18:42] ActionParsnip: no luck :/ [18:43] sipior, help swap? [18:43] goltoof: yes, type ":help swap" whilst running the editor. [18:43] airtonix, seems like a pin in the *** so i'll just leave it alone i dont want to risk my mechine right now [18:43] sipior, yes i did, nada [18:43] E149: Sorry, no help for swap [18:44] anyone know anything about upgrading xorg? [18:44] !anyone [18:44] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:44] goltoof: do you have only vim-tiny installed? [18:44] goltoof: try installing the full vim. [18:44] glitchd: theres the xorg edgers PPA but its EXTEMELY experimental and usually not stable [18:44] sipior, so vim isn't full by default? huh [18:45] ActionParsnip, i have xorg 1.7.6, [18:45] ActionParsnip, should i even worry about ungrading?? [18:45] how to fix broken packages with apt get? [18:45] Where is the default resolution of xorg defined? There is only a screen reference in xorg.conf and I would like to use the nvidia 180 driver, but my monitor is giving me "out of range" error. [18:45] xorg.conf [18:46] glitchd: i wouldnt dude [18:46] ActionParsnip, ok thx [18:46] dralock, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:46] alrighty im outtie [18:47] I've got one LPT port in my computer, but /dev/parport0 and /dev/lp0 don't exist.

Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. [18:47] sipior, so whats the diff between vim tiny and full ? no help files? [18:47] hello... running an intel mac here and ive seen docs that claim you can now install ubuntu without having to bother with refit? [18:48] goltoof: vim.tiny = vi [18:48] hi all [18:48] goltoof: among other things [18:48] is this true or do you still have to do special things for EFI? [18:48] iceroot, but i do vi and ask "help swap" and it gives me the answer [18:48] iceroot, just after i installed full vim [18:48] goltoof, ok, thanks, I was wondering if it had been moved to some include file I was too blind to see. [18:48] how can i open or decompress .uha files? is there anybody who knows my solution :) [18:48] my ubuntu fully crashed about an hour ago, does anyone know where i should start checking? [18:49] screen went blank and had to reboot, no hd activity etc [18:49] harmus: has it happened before?, if so what were you doing at the time? [18:49] shadeofgrey, did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac ( i do not own a mac) [18:49] when i type vi it's only using vim tiny not vim...?

I want to maximize my rhythmbox from there and not only play and pause. anybody knows if this is possible?

[19:00] it shows the safety screen, then goes black. after that it does show if you press the home button. [19:00] mr nelson there is a update for that i believe [19:00] !bios brianBTB [19:00] !bios | brianBTB [19:00] mrnelson1986, depending on your processor and the amount of connections it is possible [19:01] hm [19:01] Im on a laptop, running ubuntu from a flash drive.

An external mouse does work and the touchpad works under a certain other OS [19:01] it shows the safety screen, then goes black. after that it does show if you press the home button. [19:01] try restting bios [19:01] harmus, it is just 1 connection and i have an intel core i5 [19:01] btw im running pal Sonic and the Secret rings and using a real wiimote via blutoioth [19:01] mrnelson do the update!

I have "lp" in my /etc/modules. Should I upgrade to Maverick? [19:03] I'm trying to install updates via Update Manager, but it says that some of the packages are untrusted, and that causes the update to fail. Apparently 'compiz' is untrusted... How do I get past this?

On Mac OS X, it's stat -f %z $file [19:05] Im on a laptop, running ubuntu from a flash drive. However, the touchpad doesn't work under linux.

[19:08] IsmAvatar, Other software [19:08] harmus: done [19:08] i use hardy heron and lucid lynx. I have a usb camera connected via a usb hub to my laptop. i have tried many hubs, but only two did work with hardy heron. Later on, they did not work. And later on on of the two hubs did work again. Is this a bug of hardy heron? [19:08] brb [19:08] these hubs are powered hubs [19:08] gdb: thx! [19:08] IsmAvatar, see if you got a source there for compiz [19:08] sudoer: Sure thing!

[19:10] pkkm: have you checked your bios to ensure that the parallel port is enabled? [19:10] what is the newest kernel of hardy heron? [19:10] harmus: None of them seem to be giving me trouble. None of the ones listed seems to be specifically for compiz. There's Independant, pidgin-dev, pidgen-dev, and Canonical PArtners [19:10] echo310infantry, no it's not, i just liked the interface of deluge over transmission (default ubuntu install) and heard good things about deluge [19:10] pkkm: sometimes it's set off by default (i don't know why) [19:10] the system drive on my box keeps filling up - there is something writing files somewhere that I can't find, I'm doing a search for large files and not finding anything unexpected [19:10] i have question..the disk i am using its broken i guess..I can not install windows in it. Right now using partition magic to format the drive but it stops at 94 % [19:10] biggerfisch, no, synaptics with an S is for touchpads [19:10] Anyone have any ideas how I can determine what is eating my drive space? [19:10] is there any programs i could use to fix the hard drive with the errors and such [19:10] mrnelson1986: the disk is broken, what do you expect [19:10] idk then [19:11] SpaceBass, sudo apt-get install filelight [19:11] sipior, I didn't, but I'm going to do it now. I've added "parport" to /etc/modules. Should I comment "lp"? [19:11] i mean it has errors but i see it [19:11] pkkm: no, no need [19:11] i took it off and plug to other computer i see it [19:11] SpaceBass, gives you a visual view of the sizes of the files [19:11] ikonia, what are you talking about [19:11] but i think it has errors [19:11] hi zth [19:12] mrnelson1986, i copied and pasted synaptics and there is no package named that that my system can find [19:12] IsmAvatar, do you get an error if you run apt-get update, and what error? [19:12] mrnelson1986: sorry, that was for mzawieska [19:12] harmus, thanks - I'll try filelight, but right now drive is at 100% [19:12] how do i change the default terminal program to terminator [19:12] mzawieska: the disk is broken, that's why it won't work [19:12] for the hotkey [19:12] Hi there I have just installed lxde on my gnome ubuntu os how do I get to use it? [19:12] I'm using 'find / -size +20000k -print0 | xargs -0 ls -alh' to find large files, nothing standing out [19:12] harmus: none. It hits and igns a bunch of stuff. Ign all the translation stuff. [19:13] SpaceBass: du -h look for big dirs [19:13] ikonia is there any programs i could use to see whats goin on with the drive?

[20:09] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [20:09] ikonia: i have a folder on my desktop that wont let me change its write support even as the root and i need to add files. i just downloaded ntfs config tool but it wont let me check "enable write support for internal files" [20:09] hxcjonnysniper: again - what file system is this on [20:09] try running it in sudo [20:09] I've totally screwed up my GRUB by installing Windows 7... I've tried lots of online resources but I've come to no solution.. Can someone give me a hand on fixing my grub? [20:09] !grub2 > Huge [20:09] Huge, please see my private message [20:09] Huge: that guide is excellent, check the pm from ubottu [20:10] brianBTB, you can google on that and dolphin and find that they don't work together [20:10] jonnysniper, see my pm [20:10] ikonia: ok, so how do I skin this cat? [20:10] harmus, huh??? [20:10] harmus, google what? [20:10] scubes13: first, downgrading is not the answer, packages are linked against that package, so changing it will break others [20:11] file system b? [20:11] scubes13: second - log a bug in launchpad and then look at following that bug up with comments and in #ubuntu-bugs [20:11] brianBTB, the output of lspci [20:11] brianBTB, see http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-2437.html [20:11] scubes13: the aim is to get a fix released for YOUR version, not break your system downgrading other stuff [20:11] so...anyone have any experience with tuning nss_ldap for lookups from active directory [20:12] When I start a new Gnibbles game with Game>New, I'm stuck at the title screen. Any ideas?

I'm getting desperate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/674112 [20:14] gamerpro2000: if there is no work around in the bug report, one has not yet been released [20:14] brianBTB, np now you know it wont work [20:14] how does one change mouse wheel scroll settings? [ubuntu lucid] [20:14] harmus, DAMN!! DAMN!! DAMN!! SMASH SMASH SMASH!!!! [20:15] lol [20:15] gamerpro2000, easy workaround ... not being sarcastic .... use different card or onboard video [20:15] hi, is natty a version I can install or that's just testing for now ? [20:15] rhalff: very very early testing [20:15] !language | brianBTB [20:15] gamerpro2000, you can get very well supported older nvida cards for under $20 each easy [20:15] brianBTB: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:15] !ubuntu+1 | rhalff [20:15] rhalff: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [20:15] wtf [20:15] ? [20:15] quick question in irc, how do i /part from a /query to someone [20:15] rhalff: no theres not even a alpha release yet, you would probably only get nightlies if you were part of canonical [20:15] everyone, sorry. [20:15] Lukiz: easy on the language please [20:15] bye [20:15] is it possible to connect remotely in X11 session like vnc or radmin [20:16] sorry [20:16] leprechau, not really an option, since I have 20 computers with 4 ati cards per computer [20:16] something is wrong [20:17] gamerpro2000: what do you want from us ? [20:17] aeon-ltd: ok thanks, saw some development going on for a gma500 graphic card with a 2.6.36 kernel, I only need a very basic X, so testing or unstable is not the same as natty then I guess. [20:17] ikonia, I would ust like a bit of help to eliminate the segmentation fault. I've been screaming for help for over two months [20:17] I was trying to minimize on questions to #ubuntu, so i googled what i was looking for, which was a ubuntu book, I was led to amazon, now with all the choices, I must ask, which of the many is the best? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance [20:17] bug reports, forums, irc, etc [20:17] i'm borred :< [20:17] gamerpro2000: ok - so how can we do that ? [20:18] how do I enable USB ports for Virtual Box? [20:18] Is there anyone that can read a backtrace and understand it in here? [20:18] gamerpro2000, man...it's kind of the job of a sysadmin to check HCL before rolling out 80 gfx cards with poor support [20:18] rhalff: if you want new kernels just compile them with the modules you want, or use a more 'bleeding edge' distro [20:18] gamerpro2000: yes, but even if I do, it's not going to "fix" it [20:18] gamerpro2000: you need to log a bug, and wait for it to be progressed, talking in here isn't going to get a patch released [20:18] aeon-ltd: yeah, ok thanks :-) [20:18] The masters are with you [20:18] leprechau, wasn't my choice to use these cards. i would have used NVidia cards [20:19] I'm the NEW sysadmin [20:19] harmus, that info is outdated. it says that there might be support on some cards [20:19] gamerpro2000: ok, so you need to progress the bug [20:19] and very sorry for the language [20:19] progress the bug? What do you mean exactly? [20:19] gamerpro2000, then escalate upstream or budget for some repalacement cards ... I see your bug ... have you tried compiling the latest drivers manually from source? [20:19] gamerpro2000: well, log a bug, provide feed back in it, work with the package maintainers [20:20] i get crazy [20:20] harmus, why does it sometimes show me the loading screen briefly before black screen? [20:20] leprechau, I didn't realize the released and current sourced versions were different atm [20:20] may the force be with you [20:20] I do appreciate your help, guys, btw [20:20] im leaving you now [20:20] wackytabacky [20:20] hello everybody [20:20] is there a way to monitor CPU temperature from the live cd? [20:20] what's the direct link to 64 bit server 10.10 edition suitable for wget-ting? I hate they only show a button to download and don't show the direct link - how unlinux-like ;-) I'm looking for the iso [20:20] Hi! Can someone help me? I upgraded to 9.10 yesterday and I think I messed up GRUB or something else http://paste.ubuntu.com/530227/ [20:20] brianBTB: Language is nothing to feel sorry about. You are a king or a queen amongst the best. [20:20] gamerpro2000, there is always a more recent 'development' release [20:20] I imght sound frustrated, but that's just because my face is sore from slamming it against a keyboard for two months [20:20] gamerpro2000, ie, the projects git or svn trunk code [20:20] tripps: ubuntu itself is very unlinux-like [20:20] :-D [20:20] I'll give it a shot. Is there a dev version of X.Org I can try as well? [20:21] blakkheim, heh. well the server less so. hey it's debian with some cool stuff thrown in :) [20:21] Magnum, ok... queen amongst the best? [20:21] tripps: try one of these mirrors http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors [20:21] tomtomgalore12; GaduGaduh [20:21] or is that the latest version of X.Org? [20:21] gamerpro2000, absolutely you can ... but probably just the gfx driver is all you would need [20:21] Magnum, ok... king or queen amongst the best? [20:21] I need help for a scanner :'( [20:21] gfx or radeon? [20:21] Lars___: it won't be a grub problem as it's booted, but as we can't access it by ssh - we can't diagnose anything [20:21] magnum, what do you mean? [20:21] gamerpro2000: you don't want to be changing xorg versions [20:21] gamerpro2000: you want to be progressing the bug [20:21] Cuz I use the radeon driver [20:21] brianBTB: I know you wanted "BVetween the brest" :) [20:21] gamerpro2000: someone else was in early with the same problem exactly [20:21] gamerpro2000, release versions are always behind development 'current' code ... that's just the project lifecycle [20:22] lol [20:22] :) [20:22] magnum, lol [20:22] Taken friend [20:22] anyone know how to monitor CPU temperature from the live cd? [20:22] ikonia, leprechau thank you guys a lot :) [20:22] harmus, why does it sometimes show me the loading screen briefly before black screen? [20:22] MikeChelen: lmsensors [20:22] ...mmh [20:22] O:-) [20:22] ikonia: So if GRUB would be bad it would register that it is off via IPMI panel? [20:23] Lars___: if grub was bad, the machine would not boot (I don't know what the IPMI panel is) [20:23] MikeChelen, cool thanks! [20:23] ikonia: ok thanks let me look up the docs for that [20:23] MikeChelen: lm_sensors to be exact [20:23] Lars___: Does it matter ? [20:23] gamerpro2000, you could also try the proprietary frglx drivers instead of the open xorg drivers [20:24] leprechau, I tried them. They worked, but had other more serious issues [20:24] Magnum: Does what matter? [20:24] tripps: guess the webpage tries to auto redirect people to a mirror, instead of making them choose [20:24] like random session death and such [20:24] How do I list installed packages,, I need the package name to remove a package. [20:24] and weird uvdev stupidness [20:24] so there's no help here :( [20:24] *udev [20:24] Lars___: You shall explain you thoughts and elaborate. [20:24] MikeChelen, roger that. I figured as much. [20:24] ikonia: any idea what the package name is? sudo apt-get install lm_sensors doesn't work [20:25] MikeChelen: search with the package manager [20:25] Rickardo1, dpkq-query -l|grep junk [20:25] i need help on "can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs " (xubuntu 10.10 amd64 on usb pendrive) [20:25] tripps: if you're using firefox once the download starts you can copy the actual download url from the download manager [20:25] ikonia: The IPMI is just a way to control the servers power remotly, i woudl guess that if the power is on it registers like on, I do not think it has any idea if the machine has booted ok or not. [20:25] Lars___: then we can't help [20:25] MikeChelen, using chrome. obfuscates it a little bit [20:26] skyscraper: mount -t looptrix ? [20:26] can anyone help me with my intel chipset, i thought i had ati radeon. [20:26] :) [20:26] ikonia: it found collectd-core, wmgtemp, and wmtemp [20:26] ikonia: So my option is to take a boot cd with me and try locally. [20:26] Magnum: i have to reboot to test it [20:26] Lars___: at least read what the error is on the screen [20:26] Lars___: if you can't login to it, can't see the screen and can't get any error, what are we meant to work on ? [20:26] Lars___: All the options are blongs to you. [20:26] tripps: yeah then it is harder to find. there might be some download addons for chrome that would help [20:26] Magnum: are you sure that that will help? [20:27] so, dolphin will never work on my computer? [20:27] ikonia: thanks for your help anyway, just thought I would ask [20:27] Where do I find the source for GLX to compile? [20:27] skyscraper: Im the skye master [20:27] Rickardo1, what package are you trying to un-install [20:27] mysql server [20:27] but I solved it [20:27] gamerpro2000: don't do it [20:27] just cause i have an bad card? i mean, on vista my card ran MW2 and HL2 just fine [20:27] gamerpro2000: progress the bug with people who know what they are doing [20:28] Rickardo1, :) good then. [20:28] skyscraper: Report on your progress. [20:28] gamerpro2000: if you can't even find the source - your out of your league, progess the bug with people who understand it [20:28] when i start thundergird or firefox i can nolonger click with my mouse [20:28] ikonia: reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto now [20:28] ikonia, how do I progress a bug report? [20:28] please advice [20:28] Hi, I installed ubuntu nettop-remix on an Asus eeePC, but I find the clutter desktopy annoying. How do I get back to a "standard" gnome interface ? Can I switch between the two easily ? [20:28] gamerpro2000: as I told you earlier, log the bug, pass notes on it, chase the bug owner, find the package maintainers, push them to put a fix in place, get it filtered down the chain [20:28] i sure would like ubuntu on my phone, i've read a few pages of documentation, from others claiming they have done it, however i have to ask, "has anyone in here done it and willing to help me do it on my droid X" [20:29] gamerpro2000: a seg fault is not going to get fixed over night [20:29] gamerpro2000: accept it, push the bug hard and work on it [20:29] mmoebius, yes on the login screen, there is a option box at the bottom for witch you wan to use [20:29] ikonia, appreciated. Thank you. [20:29] AJenbo, restart can fix many problems at times.. :) [20:29] what cli tool can i use to extract basic ttf data, like font name, and weight? [20:29] aeon-ltd: seems that I can just debootstrap natty [20:30] Guest36740, restart does not fix this [20:30] i would like to go on the net, just one in a while but still [20:30] mmoebius: that eeepc has a gma500 intel card ?

Lets see what idiots those where: ... Blanc ... But what is important it is that things works as specified [20:32] brianBTB: every card which supports directx also supports opengl [20:33] Rickardo1: i'd ask in #sql about the user/dbs then remove the package/s for sql as normal [20:33] Guest36740, but some thing in firefox/thunderbird is capturing my mouse [20:33] iceroot, Any Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) Chipset (These cards do not support OpenGL 2.x fully) [20:33] brianBTB: hm, i am using that card with opengl here [20:34] Guest36740, and it's not isolated to one user [20:34] ... [20:34] it has been like this for a few days now [20:34] brianBTB: you can install directx 9 with winetricks but only windows-games will use directx9 and not very performant [20:34] iceroot, the reason I cant run dolphin is because of open gl [20:34] ... [20:35] brianBTB: of course you can use dolphin with intel cards, that is not a hardware problem [20:35] AJenbo, could be mouse at fault..try changing it..or pick additional one.. (cat could be after it) :) [20:35] rhalff: this eeepc (1005PN iirc) has got an nvidia ION [20:35] Guest36740, it's not i used vnc an have the same issue === NG_ is now known as ng_ [20:35] ...

[20:55] LjL: how to install KDE in ubuntu? i tried sudo apt-get install KDE desktop and got error [20:55] lock: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:55] fannymac: first, download utorrent. [20:55] Solved: unplug ethernet :) [20:55] fannymac: download the utorrent exe. double click on it [20:55] ks3, Ahh, I thought that just grepped the filenames. Thanks. [20:56] erUSUL: pm? [20:56] aeon-ltd: I am trying to limit kids usage [20:56] fannymac: that assumes you have installed wine via de software conter [20:56] LjL: sure [20:56] _raven_: Snake? [20:56] it says 'End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not [20:56] a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the [20:56] latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on [20:56] the last disk(s) of this archive." [20:56] fannymac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:56] Solved: i don't know the command, but i suppose you could blacklist eth0 wla0 etc [20:56] Solved, unload network controller drivers [20:57] aeon-ltd: how do you do that? [20:57] lapion: is there a command for that? [20:57] Solved: "i don't know the command" [20:57] if I store a disk image (created with dd), can I mount it later in a loop or similar? [20:57] man, who decided to call it GNU R [20:57] am back. [20:57] damn thing is impossible to search aptitude for [20:57] i think i am going to use the windows version with wine [20:58] tensorpudding: GNU\ R? [20:58] sudo rmmod [drivers] [20:58] Solved: GNU Pwnz! [20:59] Whats a reliable command to turn internet off that is impossible to turn back on without using terminal? [20:59] EagleScreen, If you create a partition image you should be able to mount it that way. I don't know that it will work with a whole disk image. [20:59] ks3, Ahh, thanks, my problem is i was using grep 'term' ./ instead of grep 'term' . [20:59] dolphine emulator in wine? [20:59] brianBTB, why would you want to use utorrent ? [20:59] Hey, I am using Lubuntu 10.10, and my dock is sketching out pretty bad. things keep moving when they aren't supposed to be [21:00] you can't even query packages.ubuntu.com with "GNU R" [21:00] huh? [21:00] what?? [21:00] why is the time in gnomoe panel so laggy? as in, skipping every other second? [21:00] lapion, utorrent? [21:01] I wanted to get utorrent because transmission is not working so wel [21:01] Does anyone know how to fix my problem? [21:01] Cube``: use system monitor to check if some process is tying up the cpu/memory? [21:01] I'm back and the ram test did nothing for me [21:01] fannymac, deluge ;} [21:01] tensorpudding: apt-cache search gnu | grep "^r-" [21:01] im running lucid on a vostro 1710 laptop and my touchpad stopped working, on jaunty adding i4092.reset to the grub file worked fine but what do i do now? [21:01] fannymac: try deluge or vuze [21:01] deluge 100% [21:01] allan__: try #lubuntu [21:02] fannymac, if you like ubuntu and are coming from windows: https://launchpad.net/~deluge-team/+archive/ppa [21:02] deluge is the best [21:02] When I boot into ubuntu I get the error co the error codes are: Point to BIT loadval table invalid, DCB I2C entry invalid, PCIE Bus Error" severity = uncorrected... [21:02] MikeChelen: no, i can use my pc just fine, and thus has been going on now for a few months [21:02] ok, thx for the tips [21:02] LjL: thanks [21:02] Cube``: huh weird, try deleting applet and readding? [21:02] are there any commandline ttf data tools i can use to extract basic font data? [21:02] tensorpudding: actually it looks like: apt-cache search "^r-" will work. [21:02] fannymac, that's what you want ... that ppa has the lastest stable that's not in base repo [21:02] sorry brianBTB that was something to do with fannymac [21:03] thanks alot leprechau! [21:03] i'll go test it out [21:03] np [21:03] the deluge version in the official repo is fine too [21:03] official ubuntu repo [21:03] MikeChelen: ok [21:03] it's a bit behind ... 1.3.1 is quite a bit better they made lots of improvements [21:03] MikeChelen; thanks [21:04] Why is 10.04 followed by LTS but 10.10 is not? [21:04] because 10.04 is an LTS release, and 10.10 is not [21:04] 10.10 is not a long term support release [21:04] !lts | joe_85 [21:04] joe_85: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [21:04] LTS releases only come on even-numbered years's, in the spring [21:04] So 10.10 will not be supported as long as 10.04 [21:04] ? [21:04] can anybody tell me how I can open a terminal, ie x-terminal-emulator and start alsamixer in it in one command? It should be put to a key binding and should then open a terminal window and open alsamixer [21:05] When I try to boot into 10.04 after installation I get the error codes : Point to BIT loadval table invalid, DCB I2C entry invalid, PCIE Bus Error" severity = uncorrected... Any idea what I can do? [21:05] the LTS releases thusfar have been 6.06 Dapper Drake, 8.04 Hardy Heron, and 10.04 Lucid Lynx [21:05] hello [21:05] MikeChelen: same problem :/ [21:05] bye guys have nice weekend.. :) [21:05] hi guys [21:05] ah okay, so just because it is not LTS I shouldn't hold off from upgrading? [21:05] Hi all. I am about two months new to Ubuntu. Can someone tell me were I can go to get some help with ddrescue? === tim is now known as Euph0ria [21:06] Does anyone know why new Ubuntu installations can't decrypt encrypted partitions from a prior UBuntu installation? Keeps telling me the passphrase is bad but I've entered this passphrase probably 75 times this year.. it's not wrong. [21:06] Euph0ria: wiki [21:06] evident: x-terminal-emulator -e 'alsamixer' === Euph0ria is now known as Euph0ria74 [21:06] joe_85: lucid lynx will get old and out-of-date, but it will still receive security updates, etc. [21:07] joe_85, it's simple, if you value "install and maintain for a long time" over "always the newest toys", go for the LTS. If you have a normal private desktop, LTS is usually not really that relevant. [21:07] fack this, imma quit trying to get dolphin emu to work. [21:07] Well, wiki's haven't helped when it came right down to trying to use it in the terminal to save an image of my corrupt SD card... [21:07] can anyone help me with m problem? [21:07] I guess I'm not familiar with the terminal commands perhaps? [21:08] erUSUL: thank you! works fine!1 [21:08] bye [21:08] joe_85, servers in an enterprise environment are usually meant to run as long as possible without upgrading/reinstalling, this way a "running system" does not need to be touched and does not generate costs on top of normal maintenance. [21:08] ah okay makes sense [21:08] Cube``: if you can find what package its in, could try apt-get uninstall --purge though it might erase other settings [21:08] First time installing Ubuntu (VMWare guest on OS X host system). Installed Ubuntu Server 10.4.1. Ubuntu in the VM seems to have no IP address assigned, no matter what type of VMWare networking option I choose. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to troubleshoot this? I'm completely lost. [21:09] I've downloaded and installed gddrescue, I've got the memory card and it seems to be mounted as /dev/sdb1 [21:10] I've tried using 'ddrescue /dev/sdb1 16GSD.dd 16GSD.log' [21:10] cpruitt: if I remember correctly server doesn't act as dhcpclient by default (btw there is a channel #ubuntu-server too :-)) [21:10] but it tells me drescue: cannot open input file: Permission denied [21:11] Euph0ria74: use sudo to be able to access the /dev/sdb1 [21:11] guntbert: Thanks for both tips. I'll jump over there. [21:12] I guess I'm not sure how to use sudo. :/ [21:12] cpruitt: :-) [21:12] still learning [21:12] !sudo | Euph0ria74 [21:12] Euph0ria74: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:12] was installing texmacs on 10.10, says failed dependencies ... now when ever there are updates through synaptic I get the errors. [21:12] I just set up ubuntu one on my Evo 4g (and subscribed), and my phone's not in the list, so I can't log in. I tried setting the phone model to Nexus One, but the app sends the model number in the request, and it doesn't work without it. How can I get my phone working? [21:12] sudo = "super user do" [21:12] Euph0ria74: « sudo ddrescue /dev/sdb1 16GSD.dd 16GSD.log » [21:12] hi all [21:12] sup italia_no [21:12] hi all [21:12] if you have sudo permissions then you can perform super user functions with su password [21:12] thank you for the popup info on sudo [21:12] I just tried to install 10.10 Netbook on a Dell laptop, and I'm getting a blinking cursor after rebooting. I can't get into GRUB by holding/hitting shift. Any ideas? [21:13] :) [21:13] I'm having the same problem bdikes [21:13] bdukes* [21:13] bdukes: you need to make sure that your boot device is set properly in your BIOS [21:14] whats up people [21:14] bdukes: if it is, then you may need to go in and reinstall grub by hand (or the whole OS, which ever is easier for you) [21:14] I figured it out, in case anyone cares.. new installation needed to have cryptsetup and/or cryptmount installed. I thought they came installed by default. === webpigeon is now known as Guest64454 [21:14] Ty erUSUL. Seems simple enough. I'll give it a shot. [21:15] lock: there is something wrong in your statement (no need for a root password) === Guest64454 is now known as WebPigeon [21:15] it is for the first time you run sudo within the terminal [21:15] looks like that did the trick. It seems to be working! ty! [21:15] as far as my experience is concerned [21:16] so im trying to test drive Ubuntu 10 from a live cd but its hanging on the welcome screen after i hit the try button. Any ideas? [21:16] I only have one HDD, and it's first in the boot order. Is there anything else that could be wrong in BIOS? Or is uninstall best bet? [21:16] !who | lock [21:16] lock: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:16] lock: that is wrong - you are asked for your *own* password [21:16] hellphyre: it does that sometimes, give it 30 sec or so, if it still doesn't work, then try making a new disk [21:17] aha, figures...they are the same :)....single user computer [21:17] * :) [21:17] IanWizard: its an iso from the website. not sure why another disc would be any different. === lxde is now known as Guest45263 [21:18] lock: if you're on Ubuntu, then the root password is random, and you only ever use your password, they are not the same unless you changed root by hand [21:18] IanWizard: its been 15 minutes... my 30 seconds are long past lol [21:18] i set the root pw [21:18] hellphyre: the first disk could be defective, I just meant try reburning it.

[21:27] IanWizard: im not against any distro, but some people have to realize that it takes time to configure the more complex distros. Just because i use any easy to config distro doesnt mean im a newb, it means im lazy. lol [21:27] i can log into the same network with two clients on the same machine can i not?

[21:32] quit: going to go commit suicide [21:32] ... [21:32] On my dual boot computer, Windows messed up so that when I would boot, grub would display "error: unknown filesystem". So I tried to install Grub again, but I still get the same error. Could this be because my main Linux partition, on which Grub is installed, is not my MBR and how could it be fixed? [21:32] it didnt quit [21:32] bye [21:32] I'm trying to download some files from a webserver. I tried using Nautilus, but after a few quick kb it just stops. Am I missing something? === travis is now known as Guest11034 [21:33] How can I change the MBR? [21:33] I have a Hybrid SDD hard drive. It has 4GB of non-volatile flash memory, and 500GB of space contained within the typical hard drive hardware. It uses its own firmware to move frequently used files to the flash. === EvilTrek is now known as EvilPhoenix [21:33] I want to have gparted recognize the flash memory as a separate partition. [21:33] Is this possible? [21:34] So I used ecryptfs to unencrypt my filesystem after a fresh install -- Which turned out great: Except the tutorial that I was using didn't tell me about the filename unencryption so now I tried the process over again, but this time with the filename part too.. but now the filenames are still messed up [21:34] xorwhy: depends upon how they designed the hardware, but probably not. [21:34] ActionParsnip, same problems under unity [21:34] IanWizard: I kinda figured. The firmware is definitely proprietary, I'm guessing I'm at the mercy of seagate's devs. [21:36] xorwhy: if I where doing it (designing the drive) then I'd make it as transparent to the end-user, and software as possible. I'd have it all done on the drive. (hardware based) which would make that impossible [21:36] yo, I'm running 10.10 on two laptops, plugged into the same model monitors. On one of them, the fonts are extremely blurry. The font settings are the same on each. What might be the cause of this? [21:37] goltoof: yes [21:37] wabz, magic gnomes [21:37] wabs: are they the same rez set on the comps? [21:37] goltoof: yes i'm using irssi [21:37] IanWizard: yes, same res [21:37] zazuge... any clue why i can't /connect irc.freenode.net [21:37] zazuge, keeps timing out on me [21:37] IanWizard: Right, and that's how they did it. Previous drives required Windows based software to provide NAND functionality, but now it is completely firmware controlled. Glad the functionality works in Linux at least. [21:37] fresh install [21:37] goltoof: then what are you using now? [21:38] wabz: and do both comps support pushing that rez? If so then IDK [21:38] wabz: could you print screen them to show us? [21:38] horseatingweeds: why do you use nautilus? [21:38] IanWizard: one of them is using the nvidia driver, but I get the same even if it's deactivated [21:38] yeah I'll take screenshots [21:38] after I edit $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/applications.menu, how do I get the changes to take hold? [21:38] zazuge, http://paste.ubuntu.com/530285/ [21:38] zazuge, xchat [21:38] zazuge, wanna switch [21:38] goltoof: :-) [21:39] zazuge, no i mean i really want to switch :( [21:39] how can I map a shortcut to make my window take up half of the screen and place on the left in gnome, I can do it quite easily in kde but never figured out how to do it in gnome.. anyone? [21:40] my conky looks like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1506474/Screenshot.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1506474/conkyrc.tar.bz2 [21:40] goltoof: whell i used /connect irc.freenode.net and it worked [21:40] zazuge, i'll try uninstall/reinstall i guess [21:40] goltoof: well well it's strange === quizme_away is now known as quizme [21:41] yea [21:41] goltoof: I used /connect hubbard.freenode.net and it worked too [21:41] is it possible to move your incoming and incomplete data folders for qbittorrent to another location in your file system (where you have more space), without having to re enter all your torrents? [21:41] [21:42] zazuge, and that's all you need to do after you install to connect? no other config before? [21:42] goltoof: are you using a proxy? [21:43] i got privoxy/tor running ... but how would that be interfering? [21:43] can anyone suggest to me a one line conky launch that would be optimial for both ubuntu and could simple be run as a one liner in startup programs ? [21:43] I have a laptop... when I bring it out of hibernate, the nfs client doesn't connect to the server correctly... :( ... dmesg show numerous "nfs: server bigone.lan not responding, timed out" ... :( .... but I know that server is going, it is responding to pings... what can I do to fix this? [21:43] does privoxy have any practical purpose outside of TOR ? [21:43] goltoof: i edited my .irssi/config file [21:43] viewer: I guess that depends on your torrent client - I never heard of qbittorrent though [21:43] avis, good question.. i just have it because it's required to make it work [21:44] goltoof: but nothing major just added some servers and channels to autojoin [21:44] guntbert: i researched what you said about default root (or lack thereof) and you were right, yet the strange thing is that i dont ever remember performing any specific tasks to gain root access [21:44] i actually don't need tor. i've got a portable tor that i keep if necessary, though i do believe it lacks privoxy. [21:44] would tor prevent me from telnet out? or is this a firewall issue? [21:45] viewer: symlink the old dest dir to the new dest dir, that should work. Just be sure to stop torrent, and move them all to the new dest first. then delete old dest, then link [21:45] guntbert: im actually thinking it was at install time, but then again i may have without remembering [21:45] avis, i don't really need it either, i only want it for irc.. privacy is nice [21:45] it might not be a font thing - in the screenshots, they both look fine on the good computer [21:45] goltoof: it shouldn't, but then neither should your firewall (if it's on your router) when you're using tor [21:46] goltoof: see "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258582" [21:46] I need to take a photo of it somehow :p [21:46] wabz: its basic, but check the cables, and swap out if you can to test [21:46] lock: as far as I know it has been this way for *years* - so you probably forgot it, but you really don't need the root password [21:47] IanWizard, sounds great! thanks,. i was about to do something similar setting the mount point to a hard drive in that exact space, but symlinks sound simpler [21:47] zazuge, i'm not getting banned though.. it just times out [21:47] lock: look at Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo to find how to get rid of it again if you want [21:47] guntbert: yea i read that...strange...i would think that would be something i would remember [21:48] goltoof: then check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540830 [21:48] goltoof: you have to config your irssi to work behind proxy (you didn't answer me) [21:49] basically, if i allow curl on my web box, am i exposing danger to my server?

I'm back - finally got Ubuntu to work on my system (okay, actually I replaced the motherboard, processor and ram, so it's not exactly the same system, but whatever). Now I have a question. I have an NTFS drive I mounted after the install - naming it Media. It's mounted as /media/Media - is there a way I can mount it directly off of the root (and maybe rename it since having Media and media as directories would be confusing) [22:10] my Xserver keeps dying and i have no idea why. [22:10] look, start looking at the logs [22:10] X.org.0 log in /var/log [22:10] maginot: where are the logs, i never had to mess with xserver [22:10] maginot: oh thanks [22:10] Having it under /media was causing me some headaches in MediaTomb (directory structures were too deep for the PS3 to read correctly) [22:10] My standard panel for network services is not available, and I cannot find it in the panel install options.

[22:15] bsmith093, you may want to either google this or stop over on the #grub channel [22:15] bsmith093, use startupmanager - is in repo [22:15] bsmith093, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:15] bsmith093, startupmanager should help,, I believe it has been updated to work with grub2 [22:16] i need to edit the boot line to add i8042.reset to the kernel boot command how do i do that [22:17] has anyone run fedora on a netbook? === CharlieS1 is now known as CharlieSu [22:17] yes , work well whith grub2, but for mor stuff you could edit /etc/default/grub.Do not forget to run update-grub if you modify that file [22:17] bsmith093: add it in /etc/default/grub [22:18] bsmith093, ok startupmanager will not do that... I am not up on all things grub2 so you may want to google the proper way to edit the /etc/default/grub file for this [22:18] bsmith093, it's better you to try editing first on runtime, when you computer boot, press ESC to enter grub menu if is not being shown already, there i think i "E" to edit, so edite the kernel line (the one which have root...) and add your option in the end [22:18] How do I remove an application compiled by make?

[22:30] EpicCyndaquil, you might be interested in testing lubuntu which uses lxde - lightest semi-supported-ubuntu version i believe (much quicker the xubuntu that's for sure) [22:30] i'm not a computer guru, i'm a computer mechanic :) [22:30] EpicCyndaquil: use a smaller or less graphical distro? [22:30] I think it may have been a mistake to install the ATI driver [22:30] I was installing software (Apache) and synaptic has hung restarting apache. It's been a few mins. I'd like to kill it but am afraid of horking the repo db [22:30] thanks guys [22:30] alright, I'll check out lubuntu [22:31] Tryin to install ubuntu on an old tablet laptop. It sits at a black screen with a little guy in a circle at the bottom for a while. then goes to a screen with the ubuntu splash and sits there indefinately. [22:31] EpicCyndaquil: run bleachbit regularly, delete stuff in synaptic you don't use, make a good sized swap partition, and a different WM could make a big difference [22:31] I installed this ATI driver and rebooted. And now my screen is looking very strange [22:31] any difference between lubuntu and Ubuntu other than window manager? [22:31] EpicCyndaquil: only lxde is the difference [22:31] k-rad, i don't have my conky/ubuntu theme setup right now so can't give you my example :( - but just adding the appropriate conky run line to Startup Applications has always worked fine for me. [22:32] do you think if I grabbed Ubuntu Server and threw a window manager on top of it, it would run much lighter? [22:32] would that be conky & and nothing else to read from a single .conkyrc ? [22:32] EpicCyndaquil, I use LXDE (lubuntu) any time I need light weight. You can still use all your regular Ubuntu packages and programs under it, and to a large degree I can [22:32] hellphyre, hey i have another hd i had all the same stuff on but formated > would that be easier to recover === jenkinbr is now known as evilsquishy [22:32] EpicCyndaquil, i doubt using server would help you.... [22:32] ZykoticK9, does conky % fork the process immediately to the background ? [22:33] EpicCyndaquil, Use the lubuntu disk and do a clean install if you want a lighter-weight system [22:33] hiexpo: that hd is bad alos? [22:33] also* [22:33] ZykoticK9, excuse me, conky & === evilsquishy is now known as squishy [22:33] how can I get video back in Ubuntu? [22:33] hellphyre, no === root is now known as Guest94966 [22:33] I installed an ATI driver, rebooted, and now I can't see anything [22:33] k-rad, don't use the % at the end (in the system / preferences / startup apps) [22:33] ZykoticK9, I'm just curious if it would help lighten it up. But it seems like lubuntu is a good start. [22:33] hiexpo: then why do you need to recover files from it? maybe i misunderstood your q? [22:34] hiexpo: just hook it up and get your files [22:34] hellphyre, i formated it [22:34] oh [22:34] =o [22:34] EpicCyndaquil, there might be some sort of "minimal" cd install - which would make more sense then server, but lubuntu is SO much easier and more suited then adding X to server version. [22:34] !minimal [22:34] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:34] hiexpo: its worth a try but you would need some good recovery software [22:34] very well, this is why I ask the pros ;D [22:34] is there an offline ubuntu-desktop package for Maverick?
