[00:00] jc0694, telnet server isn't on a default ubuntu install for one thing. [00:00] cast: it's not running by default [00:00] tripelb:i think you can tell it to record from coords to record only a section [00:00] oh... how do i get it to run? [00:00] CalJohn: No...actually Windows boots. But there is only one bootloader working. I believe it's the Windows one. I have two others on the new Ubuntu partition that are Grub and Grub2 (if what I read in a guide is true). So there are two inactive bootloaders and one active (Win). [00:01] jc0694: can't use ssh like normal people? ;\ [00:01] jc0694: can you connect to localhost from the same pc? [00:01] CalJohn: It's somewhat tempormental. Sometimes it boots other times it just hangs at a flashing cursor. [00:01] jc0694: wy not use ssh? [00:01] ActionParsnip, I dont understand what you said last. "coords"? but I did find the wiki and a dl link. [00:01] ActionParsnip: i know... going to use that [00:01] tripelb: coordinates [00:01] [*|NOTICE|*] AT 10PM TONIGHT, FREENODE WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU CONNECT TO IT.

[00:02] Random832: i doubt it [00:02] Random832, no its spam [00:02] Random832: no [00:02] Sonic132: ok, I am not sure why it is "tempermental", that is odd. is there anything important on your ubuntu partition? [00:02] spam? or not? [00:02] latenite: it's spam [00:02] seeing as they were killed by idoru, you can tell it was spam [00:02] jc0694: sit at the same pc you want to telnet to and connect to localhost rather than an IP address [00:02] ok [00:02] Random832: its lies, ignore it [00:03] latenite: whats funny though is that they've said that it would change at 10pm tonight(being the day it was spammed) for the last 2 weeks [00:03] ActionParsnip, I dont understand "coordinates" if I am not plotting a graph. And it looks like the program is only in sourcecode. [00:03] Also, the Ubuntu disc I have doesn't boot up. So I've been trying to get the Kubuntu 10.04 disc I have to fix grub instead. But I can't download without a working internet connection. Cricket isn't Kubuntu friendly. [00:03] ActionParsnip: it says "connection refused" when i try and connect to my own ip [00:04] ActionParsnip, and doesnt do audio unless you so something special. I think there is an easier way. -- [00:04] hey guys. is there a channel specific for unity development, at all? [00:04] jc0694: then it's not running. I suggest you install openssh-server and use that instead. Its secure [00:04] CalJohn: Well I had it pretty precariously set up to work with my Sixaxis controller (PS3) and all the drivers and updates as well. I don't really want to have to replace them all. That'd be a major chore. [00:04] tripelb: not sure, not something I've ever been interested in [00:05] I want to record a streaming video. There is some way in which you clear some cache (but what) and then play it and you sort by size and see the .fld files and save them somewhere. HOWTO?? [00:05] im concerned that malware has got on my windows xp system, would installing the Ubunto on windows (Wubi) from the ubuntu site be sufficient to ensure my security (while using ubuntu obviously)? [00:05] ActionParsnip: i can do that via synaptic? what's the exact package name? [00:05] ActionParsnip, thanks. you can see what I wrote without your name. lol [00:05] jc0694: openssh-server. or you can run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server and get it faster [00:06] ActionParsnip: i also see a package just called "ssh" shoul i install that too? [00:06] Gary_B: malware is mainly made for windows so wont affect ubuntu (it's not spelled ubuntuo) [00:06] jc0694: thats a client and is already installed [00:07] ActionParsnip: the box isn't green in synaptic so i don't think it's installed [00:07] jc0694: if you run the command I gave you will get the server [00:07] jc0694: screw synaptic, just run the command I gave [00:07] Sonic132: ok, so what you are telling me is that there are important files on the ubuntu partition [00:07] just curious, is clam antivirus useful for ubuntu? [00:07] no [00:07] ptantiku: no [00:07] what is the best UPnP media sever for streaming videos to xbox 360? [00:07] ActionParsnip: will parts of the windows OS be running when im in Ubuntu? [00:07] CalJohn: What I consider important. Yes. [00:07] it's useful if your ubuntu is relaying mail in a server setting to windows boxes, ptantiku [00:07] Is this: grep -Ri GST_PADDING_INIT . correct for searching current folder and all folders for files containing the string GST_PADDING_INIT ? [00:08] ptantiku: if you run a mail server or a file server and you have windows clients (protect windows systems from each other) [00:08] CalJohn: I really hate Wubi. [00:08] Gary_B: none [00:08] Sean93: ushare? gmediaserver? mediatomb? [00:08] i installed it, but seems i does nothing, but consumes my memory [00:08] red2kic, which is best? [00:08] <_donvito> what do i need to type in crontab -e if i want my eggdrop and psybnc to run everytime my ubuntu start [00:08] i'll remove it now [00:08] Sean93: best doesnt exist [00:08] Sean93: Dunno. Go with the first one, I suppose. It's lightweight. [00:09] anyone know how to run three monitors on two graphics cards ? [00:09] How should I make a backup before upgrading to Maverick? [00:09] red2kic, it has been discontinued, should i still use it? [00:09] Sonic132: ok, so my main reccommendation in order to make your life easy is to get a more useful livecd than ubuntu's (possibly grml or gparted?) and mount your ubuntu partition, move the files/setup from it to your windows partition. then wipe the ubuntu partition, then install again. I say this because this problem sounds painful and complicated and this is a simple way to short circuit a lot of that pain. [00:10] aroman: copy the files you need, $HOME is good as well as /etc can be useful, depends what files you have editted [00:10] does ubunutu's livecd come with gparted? [00:10] CalJohn: I have a Gparted LiveCD [00:10] Sean93: Dinner time. I used it in the past for my buddies but I don't actively use it as it does not stream subtitles. [00:10] CalJohn: No...you have to install it from the internet. [00:10] great :) [00:10] Sonic132: yes [00:11] red2kic, what do you use? [00:11] ActionParsnip, Well, I've got some stuff bash scripts in /usr, apache files in /var/www, and my $home obv. So what you [00:11] aroman, 're saying is I should just manually backup what documents I need, correct? [00:11] CalJohn: I wouldn't have a clue where the setup files would be and where to put them. Also, my ubuntu disc I think has a corruption on the squash filesystem file. [00:11] does anybody know how I can reinstall (using apt-get) a package that I broke... the config files are not being installed when I try reinstalling? [00:12] Hello people. [00:12] CalJohn: So I think I'd still have to redownload the iso and reburn it. [00:12] Sonic132: so you will need to get a new ubuntu disc. The setup files are probably in some kind of dot-direction. try looking in .program [00:12] ActionParsnip: when i set up ubuntu i don't think it ever prompted me for a root password? is that possible? [00:12] rudl313: i'm not sure.. [00:12] aroman: back those up too then :) [00:12] (where program is your programs' name) [00:12] I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 over Visita on a desktop, but when I get to he second langauge select screen, my keyboard stops working. [00:12] Vista* [00:12] Anyone have a fix? [00:12] jc0694: yes [00:13] jc0694: yes absolutely, there is no root pass. You use your OWN password in conjunction with sudo and gksudo to get elevated priveledges [00:13] blackshirt: so then how do i sudo if i don't have the root password? [00:13] Archimage: What type of plugin does your keyboard have? [00:13] I have an issue with "digikam" not importing pictures from my camera. It sais "not connected properly" and wehn plugin in the usb cord I get a nautilus message "could not moun kodak m320". BUT I have icons on Desktop...wich do work... "gphoto2://[usb:006,023]store_00020001" [00:13] Archimage: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:13] CalJohn: So wipe the partition and reinstall Ubuntu from scratch? [00:13] I tried both a Acer USB, and a standard dell purple-thing. (PS2?) [00:13] Yes, I did. [00:13] jc0694: sudo always works with your own password. if you mean su, you can always sudo su [00:13] i think ubuntu disable root user by default..you must use sudo [00:13] Sonic132: i strongly suspect that will be your easiest option [00:13] What is the program that lets you edit your desktop settings to change to cube and other settings [00:14] CalJohn: Anyway I could save my configuration. So I don't have to redownload, and reinstall everything? [00:14] jc0694: i think ubuntu disable root user by default..you must use sudo [00:14] ActionParsnip, Should I boot to a livecd to back up those folders? [00:14] Archimage: please address your text, see how my text higlights your name? thats not accidental [00:14] Sonic132: right, i don't know of any reason why you could not save your configuration files [00:14] Archimage: what media are you using to install? [00:14] ActionParsnip: Sorry, my bad. :) [00:14] ActionParsnip: CD. [00:14] any ideas what would cause a script that does 'shopt -s extglob' at the beginning would work find from my shell, but extglob appears off when called from cron. [00:14] they will be in /home/username/.program, probably [00:15] aroman: if the system is bootable, you can backup from the installed OS. Why do you not have a backup regime anyway? [00:15] CalJohn: I used UbuntuOne to sync some of my media. But I didn't see an option to save all my packages. To avoid redownloading them. [00:15] google for your programs name along with "config file" if you get lost, or come here and ask again [00:15] Archimage: ok did you check the CD for defects? [00:15] ActionParsnip: Yes. [00:15] Archimage: once booted to, not with the burning app... [00:15] nvm i remembered [00:15] compiz [00:16] ActionParsnip: I used the "Check for Defects" option when I booted the disk. [00:16] Archimage: ok cool, tested your RAM? [00:16] Sonic132: your packages will be in /var/cache/apt/ [00:16] ActionParsnip: Tested it how?.. >_> [00:16] Sonic132: they will be .deb files, and they can also be copied over (if you really don't want to download them again) [00:16] blackshirt: by default ssh wants to login as root. how do i force it to login with a different username? [00:16] Archimage: same screen you checkd the cD for defects from [00:17] ActionParsnip: No, I can do that now. [00:17] CalJohn: Excellent. [00:17] I'm trying to install Vmware Workstation... I downloaded the installation software(?) and it comes as a .x86_64 file... can anyone tell me how I install it? [00:17] you can enable root user with sudo su [00:17] jc0694: no, if you use: ssh servername it will use your username, not root [00:17] can someone please help me at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616015 ? it has to do with booting problems. [00:17] does anyone in here know how to fix this? [00:17] Sonic132: :) [00:17] jc0694: or if you want to connect as a different user, use: ssh username@server [00:18] jc0694: if you are being asked to log in as root then your current user is root and thats not supported in ubuntu [00:18] ActionParsnip, Because I have yet to settle on a solution. I'm open to suggestions :D And yes, I'm in it right now. Won't there be file in use/rights problems backing up stuff in $HOME tho?

[00:19] jc0694: if you dont use root, you will have fewer issues [00:19] was that spam? [00:19] !spam [00:19] So the Unity launcher is all alpha and out right? [00:19] trojan_spike: yes [00:19] Vogg_win32: try changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8 [00:19] trojan_spike: yes [00:19] ActionParsnip: Testing it now, it is moving very slowly, might be a minute or two before it is done. :) [00:19] I'd like to try the launcher itself without the silly netbook remix on top of it. [00:20] CalJohn: I'm thinking of installing the Netbook Edition of 10.10. Any reason I shouldn't do that? [00:20] replicasex: its in the maverick netbook, ot sure on its status though [00:20] when ever i run a ./configure on anything i get an error that gcc cannot create executables. Any ideas? [00:20] spam guys [00:20] I have a custom-compiled arcmsr module that I want to try to resolve some issues with the arcmsr module that ships with Ubuntu. I have it built and it is in /lib/modules/*/extras/ However, when I restart the machine, the default module in /lib/modules/*/drivers/scsi/ gets loaded. How do I tell Ubuntu to load the module from extras/ ? [00:20] smplman: do you have build-essential installed? [00:20] Sonic132: i have never used it, but no, I don't see why not. AFAIK it has a slightly different desktop environment from "normal" ubuntu's [00:21] makes better use of screen space, i expect [00:21] ActionParsnip, yes [00:21] ActionParsnip; i do not believe it is a DNS issue and besides if ubuntu requires me to use some DNS other than opendns which i currently use then i will just delete it now .. thanks tho [00:21] CalJohn: I like the screen space idea. But it's not Gnome? [00:21] Vogg_win32: ok as long as dns is good, tried a different browser? [00:22] Vogg_win32: changing DNS due to not eing able to use openDNS is a pretty lame reason to change [00:22] I'm trying to setup ushare to stream movies to my xbox 360 but my 360 cant detect my pc. do i start ushare with "sudo service ushare start"?? [00:22] Sonic132: i think it is, but just with some alterations. see http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/features#unity [00:22] ActionParsnip; firefox ships with the cd so i will continue using it ... it works for local addresses google and parts of ubuntu help .. [00:23] smplman: check for your development related packages [00:23] Sean93: It does not stream subtitles. If you don't use subtitles, then you have nothing to worry about. There are a way around it and that requires you to re-encode the movie with subtitles burn-in. It's not exactly a good idea. [00:23] Sonic132, i highly recommend installing desktop version, then simply installing the Unity package - that way on gdm login you can choose desktop or netbook. i really find having both handy. [00:23] CalJohn: Hopefully I can find everything lol. That's what I'm concerned with. [00:23] Vogg_win32: its worth installing another, to test. Just because it comes on the CD doesn't make it any better than the others [00:24] Sonic132: i'm almost certain that your configuration files will be copyable [00:24] Blackshirt, i have and still no luck [00:24] Oh...any idea what the sudo password is for livecds? [00:24] red2kic, My xbox wont detect my pc when i use ushare. do i start ushare with "sudo service ushare start" [00:24] smplman: can you give the exact error, I can websearch better with the error [00:24] Sean93: I'm testing something right now. [00:24] ActionParsnip; there is nothing wrong with DNS .. i would be prepared to believe that servers containing updates might be too busy but i trust my DNS provider to be working [00:24] smplman: can you pastebin completely your output when configure it ?? [00:25] Or could I just copy them over from Windows? [00:25] Vogg_win32: sure, but if another browser works then its firefox at fault, if it doesnt then its something else [00:25] blackshirt, http://pastebin.com/KKapVPTb [00:25] Vogg_win32: its all about seing what works and what doesnt so you can eliminate working things as suspects [00:26] I am trying to open an encrypted message sent to me in evolution but it will not automaticly open, it comes up as an attachment (.dat fle) but recognises the mime type PGP/MIME-encrypted message-header attachment. How do i get it to automaticly decode the message, I have already added my key ID to the account prefrances. [00:26] ActionParsnip: It is still runing it's test thing, but I thought it might be worth mentioing I am using a 64 bit computer with the 64 bit copy of Ubuntu. Just incase it makes any differnce. :) [00:26] Sean93: Well, it worked. (I was using XBMC to share my movies + tv shows). [00:26] Archimage: should be fine [00:27] hi, does ubuntu disable updates for End of Life'd distro versions? [00:27] Sean93: Did you edit /etc/ushare.conf ? (Something along the line). I recall few of the lines are not correct. [00:27] iow does it stop hosting updates, etc.? [00:27] ActionParsnip; if firefox is at fault then i would like to know how to fix it [00:27] blackshirt, ActionParsnip: config.log file http://pastebin.com/x8fyCtVM [00:27] grandy: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [00:27] Vogg_win32: well we dont know that yet, as you havent tested [00:27] smplman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139791 [00:27] Im running Ubuntu 10.10 and i am using a USB soundcard, when it's connected all sound is routed to the usb soundcard but when i unplug it the internal soundcard takes over, i only need to use the USB soundcard in Fldigi and have all other sound go thru the internal soundcard. [00:28] red2kic: hmm would i need to update my sources.list to point there? will there be any new maintenance by anyone to it? [00:28] Vogg_win32: so i wouldnt waste my time trying to fix something if its the networking that is broken. Until we know firefox is to blame its not worth expending any ffort [00:28] grandy: yes you would, no there won't [00:28] *effort [00:28] CalJohn: Well thanks and I guess I gotta do that. [00:28] rww: ahh ok [00:28] OY1R: you can probbaly do that in alsa [00:28] ActionParsnip; are you saying that the default settings for firefox which ships with the CD download is so flawed that it should not work by default ?# [00:28] ActionParsnip, tried that with no luck [00:28] grandy: XBMC is maintained regularly. ushare isn't (from what you said). [00:28] rww: never realized that any linux got discontinued :) [00:29] Vogg_win32: we don't know, like I keep saying [00:29] grandy: yup. 18 months for regular Ubuntu releases, 3 years for LTS on the Desktop, 5 years for LTS on the Server [00:29] grandy: Oh wrong person. [00:29] Vogg_win32: no. that is what you keep saying. just your dns server already :P [00:29] smplman: have you tried in #c++ [00:29] ok haveing a problem with installing or uninstalling anything i get this message ......" The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software." [00:29] ActionParsnip; so what browser is next on the list of hoops to jump thru ? [00:29] rww: hmm, btw do you recommend upgrading ubuntu or doing a fresh install? I have had upgrades crash on my laptop before using the gui, this is a slicehost slice....

[00:30] smplman: tabfail, sorry. [00:30] paddy_, how please. In fldigi i used Port audio (on 8.10) it worked fine i selected the USB soundcard and all other audio was on the internal soundcard.

Running GUI from transmission... Probably on your user.

[00:49] tyler_d: as a primary user. [00:50] ok, psusi [00:50] red2kic: yes it does, the problem isn't that "transmission-daemon" isn't running, but that running "transmission" on that system should give you the gui to control and view those torrents [00:50] red2kic: and it does not.

Daemon does not belong to anyone.

[01:15] dwdking: nope [01:15] kcj, and on top of that, i lost my ubuntu livecd that i installed with, i'm on an xubuntu disc [01:16] file1 >> file2 [01:16] boxbeatsy file1 >> file2 [01:16] furi: Can't you download the iso and burn a new disc? === STARS_ is now known as STARS [01:16] dwdking: sweet thank you!

[01:17] furi, dunno.. [01:18] dwdking: hmm, when i do test1.txt >> test2.txst i get test1.txt: command not found. any ideas? [01:18] yagoo, and also, how do i auto chroot? [01:18] yagoo, i don't know how to even mount my file system [01:18] Sean93: Woot! I see 'uRuby' on the Xbox. That's from my wireless laptop. WORK! [01:18] What works better in Ubuntu Ati or Nvidia?? [01:18] furi, the installer should let u go into a rescue prompt.. which should auto-chroot.. the mountpoint may be /mnt/sysimage... it would say [01:18] boxbeatsy: Does test1.txt exist? [01:18] john38: Nvidia, imo. [01:18] furi: Is your /home on a separate partition? [01:18] dwdking: ya [01:18] kcj, no partitions as far as i know [01:19] kcj, using nothing but ubuntu [01:19] boxbeatsy: where does it exist? [01:19] in the folder i'm running the command in [01:19] red2kic, how do you start ushare? [01:19] kcj, well, i have xubuntu installed on the side, but trying to start that up doesn't work either [01:19] does Linux Mint provide all the ubuntu features that a linux newbie is likely to notice, im reading on tech radar its very aatractive [01:19] kcj, and i don't think that partitions the disc [01:19] red2kic, does 10.04 lucid work better than 10.10 maverick?? [01:19] Sean93: CTRL + ALT + T (Terminal will pop up). [01:20] Sean93: Then "sudo service ushare stop" ; "sudo service ushare start" [01:20] Sean93: Or in one go -- "sudo service ushare restart" [01:20] boxbeatsy: hmmm I am not too sure why it isn't working [01:20] yagoo, could i try using that command on a chrooted terminal? [01:20] boxbeatsy: oh sorry, do "cat test1.txt >> test2.txt" [01:20] yagoo, i mounted the filesystem with gigolo [01:20] john38: Meh. Why do you say that? Both works great. [01:20] furi, my next guess would be it may have something to do with the new kms feature stuff .. dunno if it applies to ubuntu [01:21] john38: 10.04 is LTS (long term support 3 years). stable, capable. 10.10 is supported for 18 months and is considered a development version toward the next LTS release [01:21] dwdking: aaah perfect! thanks :D [01:21] furi, so chroot "/mountpoint" .. and try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [01:21] boxbeatsy: cat will print to the terminal what is in the file test1.txt and the >> pipes it into the other file specifified [01:21] boxbeatsy: sorry forgot the cat [01:21] yagoo, alright [01:21] izinucs, oh really [01:21] john38: being developemnt isn't a bad thing .. just more cutting edge. [01:21] dwdking: gotcha. thanks! [01:21] izinucs, so i should stick with lucid im using maverick amd64 [01:22] Sean93: Try USHARE_ENABLE_WEB=yes (AND) USHARE_DIR=/home/sean/Videos [01:22] hi all, can someone point me to some good literature for a novice linux user [01:22] boxbeatsy: becareful because using a single > will overwrite the second file, I would recommend always backing up the second file before using it [01:22] Sean93: Also, USHARE_TELNET_PORT= [01:22] yagoo, http://pastebin.com/HktS9Q9W [01:22] red2kic, amd64 has graphical problems "(i think) [01:22] dwdking: mmk, i'm writing a shell script, so it should be fine, right? [01:22] john38: if it works for you then great.. no problem.. just keep in mind that there are releases every 6 months.. keep a separate /home partition for your data and when upgrading is things get borked.. reinstall fresh. [01:23] is = if [01:23] anyone knows about commercial tutorial for Ubuntu [01:23] john38: Did you enable the additional drivers? [01:23] red2kic, yes [01:23] alex-a: barns and nobel [01:23] yagoo, should i try it in the actual thing? [01:23] how do i find out the last thing installed on my linux [01:23] yagoo, although i don't think it'll be any different [01:23] so i know what has to be fixed so i can install again [01:24] furi, after you exitted dpkg-reconfigure, try exiting chroot and rebooting into ubuntu [01:24] boxbeatsy: ya you should be okay, less change of accidentally only putting one > in but it always is a good idea to backup if your concerned about losing a system file or any work [01:24] red2kic, not having bad! problems my other machine with 10.04 luicd with ati x1900 works smoother [01:24] yagoo, ? [01:24] Lajosward: Ubuntu Software Center have history. Check that. [01:24] hi, what is the difference between alternate and minimal install? [01:24] it would be easy to put into the shell script an automatic backup if it would be a disaster if something was lost [01:24] furi, then download a ubuntu installer (latest preferablly --asuming u updated to that version), and try it with the cd [01:25] !alt | Benkinooby [01:25] Benkinooby: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal === Lenin_Cat is now known as SarahPalin [01:25] yagoo, i don't think i understand [01:25] !minimal | Benkinooby [01:25] Benkinooby: 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 [01:25] red2kic, ok, i see but it doesn't connect. it says a firewall may be blocking my connection [01:25] Benkinooby: alternate gives you more options on install like encrypting your machines harddrives.. minimal is really minimal.. you have to install what you want. [01:25] Sean93: Well, slow connections. Wired works great. [01:25] shawbroth, http://www.ubuntu.com/support [01:25] Sean93: I get that same message too. [01:26] red2kic, izinucs thank you! [01:26] furi, what are you using (what linux is running that you're logged in) ? [01:26] red2kic, just trying to narrow it down if its the geforce gtx470 on 10.10 amd 64??? [01:26] hi, mi mouse is still not working after login.. what should i do? [01:26] i'm in the ubuntu software center not seeing anything about history [01:26] my* [01:26] yagoo, you mean my actual flavor? ubuntu, but if you're talking about the livecd i'm on, it's xubunut [01:26] xubuntu [01:26] SaverincuValenti, does the mouse work on the logon screen? [01:26] no [01:26] it does not [01:27] furi, so use the proper ubuntu installer cd and try a rescue from it [01:27] red2kic, im using fiber optic, i used to connect on windows with ps3 media server with no problems [01:27] yagoo, okay then [01:27] I'm unfamiliar with IRC, so could someone guide me into a channel where I can receive information on how to set up an SFTP Server via Filezilla? [01:27] yagoo, i have to find it though, so if i don't find it, is there an alternative? [01:27] anyone know of a good sonicwall channel? [01:27] furi, u using 64bit/32bit on PC architecture?

[01:28] Fapton_Calcon: not sure you actually want to use sft [01:28] Fapton_Calcon: p [01:29] Why not? [01:29] john38: yep.. I use gnome and kde (kubuntu).. they are stable. [01:29] yagoo, yes [01:29] john38: Try #nvidia -- And also, I don't see your card on http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-a.html [01:29] Can somewone help me? my mouse isnt working its a ps2 mouse [01:29] izinucs, using geforce gtx470?? [01:29] furi, you can try to later see if it has anything to do with the kernel's new kms.. if dpkg-reconfigure console-setup doesn't do the trick [01:29] Fapton_Calcon: would require running, probably, opensshd [01:29] SaverincuValenti, did you custom compile your kernel/ [01:30] SaverincuValenti, it should work off the bat.. [01:30] im first time using ubuntu... what is that? [01:30] Sean93: I never used fiber optics. Meanwhile, do try XBMC. Who know? It might be configured better. [01:30] So I've heard. Then possibly an FTPS server? :s [01:30] red2kic, im using additional drivers [01:30] john38: no nothing so current but is you're having issues with that card then, like me, you're a candidate for the "latest" driver. However you're going to have to add a PPA to your repo list to get it installed correctly. [01:30] SaverincuValenti, what type of mouse is it? [01:30] Fapton_Calcon: sure, though, you could run a ftpd.. [01:31] it is ps2 [01:31] genius [01:31] normal mouse [01:31] whats the best format type so that i can have an external (read and write) with macosx? [01:31] schone: FAT32, I'm guessing. [01:31] schone: FAT32, sadly [01:31] izinucs, whats the repo for latest geforce cards?? [01:31] john38: the latest driver is 260.xx.. and in a stock install it's not available.. [01:31] john38: hummm. hang on.. I'll look [01:31] cast: ah damn, thats what im using just having issues with file sizes etc :/ oh well [01:32] i tried with other ps2 mouse and its still the same [01:32] cast: I'm just having a difficult time finding support to set it up, even after looking at the documentation [01:32] schone: if you have a network could share files over NFS [01:32] when i try to install xbmc i get "E: Unable to locate package xbmc E: Unable to locate package xbmc-standalone" [01:32] Anybody else that can help me since ActionParsnip left?

[01:34] Sean93: Use team-xbmc-svn, I suppose. They haven't released an official XBMC package for Maverick yet. [01:34] How do you script a GIF movie so it plays frames 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 in that order? [01:35] john38: those are ancient .. add this repo (instruction on the site) update & upgrade https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [01:35] Archimage: When you choose to download ubuntu, there is an option for "alternate" which is an install disk that allows command-line installation, etc. [01:35] jfv34: I will have to download one of those. [01:36] can somewone help me please? i have a ps2 mouse that doesnt works im using 10.10 ubuntu [01:36] izinucs, where do i go to add repo again?? [01:36] Archimage: I typically use it instead of the typical installer, as I frequently have issues with the main one. [01:36] john38: instruction on the site. you use the terminal and a command to add the repo [01:37] SaverincuValenti: Then get a PS3. [01:37] izinucs, thats what your using [01:37] john38: yes.. on my ubuntu machine with an 8200 card [01:37] LetsGo67: i dont have any money, it's 4 AM in my country [01:37] jfv34: Alright, thanks, I will try it now. [01:38] SaverincuValenti: PlayStation Move garage sale? [01:38] SaverincuValenti, is it plugged in when you start your computer or are you plugging it in after boot [01:38] ctmjr: it's plugged [01:38] Archimage: Another question, does the keyboard work outside of ubuntu? Just to rule out a deeper hardware issue. [01:38] it's crash dvd chip [01:39] jfv34: Yup. These are the ones I use everyday. [01:39] izinucs, is this for nvidia ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [01:39] Are there any good, open source backup solutions? [01:39] do u have a usb mouse that works or is this is all you have? [01:39] john38: yes [01:39] ctmjr: this is all i have [01:39] !backup | queso [01:39] queso: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:40] queso: Deja Dup, BackinTime, etc. Just search in synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center [01:40] Archimage: At the gui which option are you selecting for your keyboard? [01:40] jrib, Fapton_Calcon: thank you [01:40] Bye bye everyone thank you have a good day. SaverincuValenti there is a USB mouse in the trash. Instead of PlayStation 2. [01:40] izinucs, what happened to adding repo that 10.04 had [01:41] ctmjr: i have a wireless one but it has a ps/2 too [01:41] ctmjr: and the wireless is not working [01:41] is there a bug in ubuntu with ps/2 ? [01:41] or what? [01:41] it probably doesn't recognize ps2 [01:41] jfv34: After booting from the CD, selecting 'install', I can get past the first language slection screen, but it stops workign at the second. [01:42] john38: ?? not sure what you're asking [01:42] because theres no reason to not have USB [01:42] Working* [01:42] arent any drivers for ps/2 ? [01:42] izinucs, there was a feature i think through System>Administration where you could add it gui [01:42] or something like that? [01:42] red2kic, xbmc is too flash for me. do you know of another media server like ushare that is lightweight and does not have a gui [01:43] john38: gui for controlling the nvidia card? [01:43] Archimage: What keyboard layout do you have? US? [01:43] izinucs, nah foget it [01:43] SaverincuValenti, it should just work try running hwinfo and look for anything with ps2 style mouse [01:43] jfv34: Standard US. [01:44] hey, how would I be able to boot into windows or ubuntu when I have both installed? Recently had issues with my bootmanagers etc, I installed Grub2 but it's only showing Ubuntu OS, not windows. [01:44] izinucs, how do i find out which driver im using for nvidia now?? [01:44] Hello! [01:44] hi [01:44] izinucs, before i update [01:44] I am having trouble while I try to install Ubuntu. [01:44] Sean93: Hoho. Well, those two are the only thing I tested (that worked for me). [01:44] Archimage: That's really strange that it's not working, I'd recommend trying the alternate install first. [01:45] john38: I'm not sure .. I've never found a way to get the version number but I think it's 195.xx [01:45] How do I get there from version 10.10? [01:45] Sean93: I guess you might want to try something different. But XBMC is not too bad, you only have to add Video Sources, then go in Settings to turn on (under Networks) the UPNP Sharing. And leave it running. [01:45] izinucs, ok [01:45] Hello? [01:46] Sean93: I'm taking a break. Catch you later. Good luck. Think about ethernet cable if possible. [01:46] How about me? [01:46] red2kic, alright, thanks for the help [01:46] Anyone want to help with software center? [01:46] hey, how would I be able to boot into windows or ubuntu when I have both installed? Recently had issues with my bootmanagers etc, I installed Grub2 but it's only showing Ubuntu OS, not windows. [01:47] Sir-Integra: You need to modify the grub config under ubuntu.

[02:00] Alright. [02:00] jfv34: Alright. [02:01] jfv34: How do I start the install from the command line? [02:01] izinucs, thanks for repo [02:01] jfv34 may i pm you to ask a quick question?

[02:02] Archimage: Once you boot the cd, you select the option. [02:02] jfv34: Alright, restarting now. [02:03] Sir-Integra: What's the question?

[02:12] My Ubuntu just crashed, and I think it was because of Chromium. I can't move the mouse and Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not get me to a terminal. Am I doomed to a hard reset? I have unsaved work open. [02:12] ksbalaji: everything is unmuted? tried to hook speakers up? [02:12] Archimage: Cool, we'll see how it goes. It should be pretty quick. [02:12] Habstinat: is your caps lock light flashing? [02:13] Sir-Integra: Hang on one sec and I'll check, I'm not the best at support ;) [02:13] Insufficient parameters for REGISTER. [02:13] Syntax: REGISTER [02:13] jfv34: I get stuck at that same language screen. Which makes me think, I have proabbly been using the Alt. version from the start. [02:13] Hey all :) [02:13] runemaste: No, but my num lock light is on. My caps lock light is off. [02:13] brianBTB: basically what it is saying is it takes two parameters: password and email. so the command would be [02:14] the command would be: /msg nickserv register mypassword myemail [02:14] jfv34: Should I try a normal version install? [02:14] replacing mypassword with your desired password and myemail with your desired email [02:14] Archimage: Hmm, you did the command line install and you got a graphical language selection option? [02:14] brianBTB: you have an email, right? [02:15] no help? [02:15] Gnea: I tried nothing muted. But only internal speakers work. [02:15] nope, no help [02:15] tried the disc, i get the exact same error [02:15] Habstinat: Weird. I'm not sure why you cant get into terminal - the only time ive seen that is a kernel panic, when the caps lock light flashes [02:15] that my hard drive ubuntu gets [02:15] gnea, runemaster, pici, ubottu, thanks all! i managed to register. checking email now... [02:15] so apparently something happened [02:15] jfv34: Using the Alt. Version, pressing F4, and selecting 'command line install' in the drop down, it runs through its thing and then pops up with a language selection on a gray-on-black background. [02:15] Whats the difference between ubuntu,kubuntu and Xubuntu? [02:15] involving support [02:15] ksbalaji: what I'm asking is, have you made sure that the headphones aren't defective? [02:16] it sounds like you might need to reboot: hold Alt and SysRQ, and press each one of these keys: R E I S U B [02:16] will do a nice reboot to your ubuntu :) [02:16] jfv34: moves; selects, activates buttons. [02:16] Gnea: good one. I tried the headphones on another laptop - a friends. It works. [02:16] ... no email. how long does it usually take?? [02:16] jfv34: My keyboard still has power, but nothing is responding. [02:17] john38, ubuntu and xubuntu use GNOME, which is different from kubuntu which uses KDE. xubuntu was created as a somewhat lightweight distribution, but i've heard lubuntu was made much lighter. i personally prefer ubuntu; it has quite a few nice graphical effects i like. [02:17] hi there [02:17] Archimage: Try it with the other keyboard. [02:17] Gnea: I wish to know whether I miss any device enabler. ? [02:17] Alright. [02:17] I'm trying to set up wireless on my notebook [02:17] jfv34: Alright [02:17] furi, so Kubuntu is the graphically superior of the three [02:17] but it says "wireless is disabled" [02:17] anyone got any ideas how to install Ubuntu Server on my PC? [02:17] can somebody help me with that? [02:18] john38, oh? [02:18] runemaste: TBH, I was being stupid and copy/pasted a bunch of "I"s into my Twitter page to see how much Twitter could handle. The counter got to -367290 before the screen turned grey and it froze. [02:18] :P [02:18] LOL [02:18] I run kubuntu [02:18] furi, i mean which looks cooler ubuntu or kubuntu? [02:18] brianBTB: until the spam filters say you're okay [02:18] !sound | ksbalaji [02:18] ksbalaji: that'd be the proper procedure to take, if ubottu was working right [02:18] ksbalaji: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [02:18] john38, kubuntu is kinda windows-ish as i heard. ubuntu is the "graphically superior". [02:19] Habstinat: I'm bash.org'ing that! :P [02:19] jfv34: USB keyboard does not even get any power. [02:19] Gnea: my connectivity is problematic. may disconnect any time. - I shall try your suggestion meantime. Thanks. [02:19] furi, ok [02:19] Has anyone successfully installed Google Earth on Ubuntu 10.04 (and is this even the place to be asking?) I have it installed, but I get a "could not write to file error" and the program closes. I deleted my /.googleearth/ folder and restarted it in sudo. It loads, I can see the menus, but no earth or maps. Just a gray where the earth should be. [02:19] gnea, what spam filters?? how does that work? [02:19] runemaste: Ok, but seriously, do you think a hard reboot is the only option? [02:19] brianBTB: it's a secret. [02:19] ... anyone? [02:19] Archimage: This is too weird. So the ps2 freezes at the Language selection screen before even allowing you to install? [02:19] gnea, ... [02:20] !anyone | cq75_ [02:20] cq75_: 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?

[02:22] rdg_, ask the refit project.. many are [02:22] rdg_, you'd need to tinker the mac before installing any other Oses.. [02:22] why is it hit or miss [02:22] rdg_: if you don't have much to lose on the hdd just try it [02:23] ok, it has sent and recieved zero packets [02:23] guys in #apple said to go VM but vm software ain't cheap [02:23] however, it can find my wireless card [02:23] my guess is it can't connect to my router [02:23] rdg_, virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [02:23] but I'm really not sure [02:24] rdg_, try another mac channel.. #apple sounds too apple [02:24] rdg_: hardware revisions change e.g it may be atheros for 1 year, then next hardware 'upgrade' usually cpu upgrade has hidden changes so the atheros card is now broadcom (this is a example) [02:24] rgd_: I also recommend VirtualBox [02:24] rdg_: though the case and majority of the hardware is the same, but in linux if one thing changes a whole host of problems can appear [02:25] hey people im having a slightly annoying problem here i just got ubuntu recommended to me (32 bit 10.04) for my server but when i try to install it (from a USB drive) it does not see my SCSI hard drive. === sepehr is now known as sepehr|away [02:25] no love for me here,huh?:) [02:25] any ideas?

Any idea how to slip around this problem ? === DarkJuju is now known as juju2143 [02:26] Does Disk Management in Vista show the type of file system ?? such as ext3 ? [02:26] Is it possible to run a Windows exe that needs .NET 3.5 using mono? Or does the program need to be made for mono use? [02:26] lea123, don't use windows for anything linux. [02:26] lol [02:26] lea123: no, not without some king of 3rd party software [02:26] From what I heard, ext3 and windows file system are completely incompatible [02:26] *kind [02:27] ... any ideas for my wireless problem? [02:27] I am installing ubuntu as 2nd OS on the 2nd partition of my drive [02:27] cq75_, fat16 and fat32 are incompatible too === justme is now known as Guest68253 [02:27] gnea, you were screwwing me about that! [02:27] cq75_, dunno where you've been... [02:27] bah, this is going to take a while [02:28] runemaste: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/habster360/5170946158/sizes/l/ [02:28] What should I choose for the Bootloader ?? should it be installed on SDA or sda5,sda6 which is the partions for linux including the swap file area [02:29] hi, i used to work with pro xpn, but now in ubuntu, it doesnt run, what can i do? [02:29] Lol nice! [02:29] bye all [02:29] brianBTB: pardon? [02:29] heh [02:30] hello [02:30] ... anyone know why Ubuntu is telling me "wireless is disabled"? I didn't set it to ignore connections [02:30] does anyone know hot to install ubuntu server on a SCSI drive? [02:30] jfv34: If you go to www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download , The screen shot near the top is where I get stuck. [02:31] no? [02:31] Archimage: Maybe it's a problem with ncurses then, does running ubuntu as a livecd work? Or do you still freeze at the language selection. [02:32] jfv34: Still freeze. === unyu_unyu is now known as unyu_ [02:32] jfv34: I am getting the standard version right now, brb as I go to find another DVD-R. [02:32] hello jfv34, do u know something similar like pro xpn but for ubuntu? [02:33] person: You mean a VPN? [02:33] yes sr === AddictedToLinux is now known as RexAlters [02:34] does'nt the 10.10 installation have the intergrity check like in 9.10 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck [02:34] person: I found a tuto about pvn client , but I have some trouble [02:35] jvf34, may I PM u? [02:35] I am back. :) [02:35] runemaste, you still there? [02:36] hey people, i am having a problem installinng ubuntu on an SCSI drive, can anyone help me? [02:36] person: You could try something like openvpn [02:36] Chaos_Zero, mm I have 2 scsi drives here ...what's the problem? [02:36] during the installation it does not see them [02:36] person: I don't really do much in that space myself so I can't really help much more than that [02:36] just my usb stick i am installing from === RexAlters is now known as AddictedToLinux [02:37] Chaos_Zero, mmmm... which controller card are you using? [02:37] i mean it [02:37] not them theirs only oe [02:37] one* [02:37] well [02:37] Chaos_Zero, when you first boot does the scsi bios appear first? [02:37] its am ibm xseries 366, their is not a "card" [02:38] its a built in system [02:38] My EeePC 1001px netbook's hard disk is making clicking noise with Ubuntu 10.10. But this only happens if netbook is powered by battery. Any idea? [02:38] Chaos_Zero, this is onboard controller....ah [02:38] ok, thank you kindly sr, Ill try to read about openvpn [02:38] Chaos_Zero, mmm have you googled ubuntu ibm xseries install? [02:38] @jfv34 [02:38] Chaos_Zero, I have an adaptec controller card here and it sees the drives but I have never used IBM controller [02:39] can you copy files but ignore files over a certain size? [02:39] not yet, but the driver itself is small, is their a way i could add it to the installer on the use to get it to work? [02:39] Anyone? [02:39] Chaos_Zero, mmm thats a good question hold on [02:39] schone: Yes you can, it'd be a short script. [02:39] ok [02:39] Ok. So I can't get to a terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, my caps lock symbol isn't flashing, I can't move my mouse, but the screen is still on. Is there any other option besides a hard reboot? [02:40] Chaos_Zero, I am going to direct to the #ubuntu-installer channel I am betting they will have more troubleshooting options there ! [02:40] schone: Check this out: http://www.jarrodgoddard.com/linux-web-hosting/a-bash-script-to-find-large-files-on-a-linux-server [02:40] ok... making progress - it says my HP wireless lan is hard blocked, and my phy0 wireless lan is neither hard blocked nor soft blocked [02:40] what is phy0? [02:41] if it's not blocked, why is my wireless still disabled? [02:41] what? [02:41] Chaos_Zero, so where you type here type /join #ubuntu-installer [02:41] Where may I ask questions about mono? [02:41] ok [02:41] rypervenche, maybe #mono channel ? [02:42] coz_: Ha! Thanks. [02:42] Should I wait it out? I have work on there that I'd prefer not losing. [02:42] Flood bots flood the channel more then users. -.- [02:42] Archimage: Any luck with the keyboard issues yet? [02:42] jfv34: DLing the standard copy of it now. [02:43] Habstinat, is your hard drive working ?! [02:43] jfv34: But all the keyboards I have get stuck at the language slect screen. [02:43] jfv34: Did you see the link to the screen shot I posted, btw? [02:43] Archimage: Ah, hopefully that works. If not, you can do what I do. I usually just run ubuntu under virtualbox as it runs plenty fast on modern hardware. [02:43] jfv34: I know, my computer is just 'infected' with Vista. D: [02:44] Archimage: I feel you there, I haven't used windows in probably 4 years [02:44] MeanEYE: Habstinat: Dunno. It's humming as usual. [02:44] when I installed ubuntu 10.10 I tried making my /home directory on another part of my drive. It looks like I now have two copies of home, one on a relatively empty big partition, and the other one overfilling my smaller partition, how do I remove /home on smaller partition while still using the /home on other? [02:45] what is the prefered way to get the fglrx driver working in 10.10 with a ATI X1200 device? [02:45] hm.... [02:45] maackey: The quickest way would be to delete the home directory on the os partition and symlink it to the large home directory on the other partition [02:45] stratman4300, in my personal experience open source stuff works the best... [02:46] MeanEYE: yeah I agree, I'm usually all about the open source stuff, but I've got an application that I need some high frame rate unfortunatly... :| [02:47] also, is there any way to change /home without finding my install disk again? [02:47] pff, that floodbot doesn't even get a joke or two ;) === Guest26758 is now known as PatSter21 [02:48] (thanks, i'll try it) [02:48] stratman4300, I had huge problems with proprietary. ATI just isn't good at making drivers. [02:48] stratman4300: the last time I used ATI, it required getting the drivers from ATI's site. I believe they have a fairly easy to follow installation guide these days [02:48] MeanEYE: yeah no doubts there [02:48] hmm, I have a 2 gb flash drive, I want to put on a distro which allows me ot have u know, the odd 100 mb say for files, and prolly 400 MB for upgrades , sw changes... so abt 1.5 GB install.. I was thinking Hardy, is this possible... any experience. opr ideas? [02:48] jfv34: Yeah Tried that before I came here.... after the install completed... rebooted, now i'm getting seg faults when trying to run glxgears [02:49] stratman4300, but it's up to you... if you ask me, I'd sacrifice few frames per second than compromise stability [02:49] DSL, hangs on my usb peripherals, so no go, as I will use it on various ocmps... [02:49] segmentation faults? oh dear [02:49] jfv34: Writing to disk now. [02:49] upstart is stuck on CHECKING BATTERY STATE [02:49] what can i do [02:49] stratman4300: Hmm, I'll have to echo MeanEYE here, I might just go with the open source drivers for now. [02:50] jfv34: I /might/ have to leave soon, though. So if I exit suddenly, thanks for your help. :) [02:50] how do I get native linux drivers? Are they already installed or do I have to install them? [02:50] cq75_, drivers for what? [02:50] Archimage: Any time. [02:50] well just so you folks know - [02:50] my wireless card [02:50] the install of 10.10 from 10.04 borked my mbr [02:50] guys where's httpd.conf found in maverick? [02:50] i had to run the fixmbr cmd from the winxp install cd on my hd1 [02:50] but now all is good :) [02:51] jfv34: yeah that's what i'm thinking.... I've installed the proprietary drivers, and the last time i had to make detailed changes to xorg was back before the days of automatic configuration. How can I insure that xorg is using the open source driver? === Pinna is now known as bustyultima [02:51] cq75_, if it's not working then you need to install them [02:51] stratman4300: Typically you uninstall the prop driver then do a xorg --reconfigure [02:51] jfv34: restarting now. === bustyultima is now known as Pinna [02:52] Where do I get them from? Should I download them on a windows machine and put them into ubuntu with a flash drive? [02:52] stratman4300: that might now be exactly the correct command though, it's been a while. [02:52] or are they already on the system somewhere [02:52] Robinux, /etc/apache2 [02:52] ps any idea why ubuntu would overwrite the mbr on my hd0 when it's installed on hd1 ? not that i'm complaining :| [02:52] jfv34: know of any howtos or anything of the sort on how to remove the prop. drivers? I re-ran the installer... no instructions on how to remove or a remove option. === omar is now known as katarot [02:53] I'm running the Natty devel release on my netbook... how do I activate unity in lieu of X11? [02:53] cq75_, Linux implements a huge number of drivers into kernel itself. Do you know which wifi card is it? [02:53] stratman4300: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630418 [02:53] Atheros [02:53] you want the exact specs? [02:53] chebucto, grub usually installs on primary drive (or where you tell him) [02:53] cq75: what seems to be the issue? [02:54] I ran rfkill list [02:54] and it told me that my hp-wifi was hard blocked [02:54] * hd1 notes that his laser printer was easier to set up under Linux than Windows [02:54] but I have another connection... phy0 [02:54] what is that? [02:54] in any case, it says my wireless is "disabled" [02:54] jfv34: exactly what I was looking for... TY. Now after I remove that and reboot.... xorg should automagically pick the correct opensource driver correct? [02:55] I installed the ubuntu over Vista however it isn't showing up as an option to boot into there when i power on the machine VISTA just loads up... Any ideas ? [02:55] any one know how to fix this: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/transmission/transmission-common_1.34-0ubuntu2_all.deb [02:55] cq75_: Does the system have a kill switch for the wifi? (If it's an touch button, is the indicator red?) [02:55] yes, but it's on [02:55] leal23: you probably didn't put grub in the MBR [02:55] I tried flicking it on and off [02:55] stratman4300: It should, but if not, issue the command "xorg -configure" [02:55] it doesn't do anthing [02:55] jfv34: thank you for your help! [02:55] or lilo or whatever you want to use [02:55] well... it changes color but it's still disabled [02:55] apollo, did you use apt-get update before trying that? [02:55] cq75_: Does it show up in lspci atleast? [02:55] jfv34: Uhoh. Installing from the standard version brings me to a console like screen with "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system." [02:56] yes [02:56] ispci [02:56] oops XD [02:56] cq75_: (Blue is the desired colour not red) [02:56] hdl : Does it have to be done explicitly meaning the ubuntu installation I don't think mentioned anything about grub .... [02:56] yeah, I know. blue or red it's still disabled [02:56] one sec... I'll do ispci [02:56] how would i start a program at startup? [02:56] Archimage: Does a checksum of the CD turn out ok? [02:56] cq75_: Is this an HP dv2 by chance? [02:57] cq75_, Lspci not i [02:57] jfv34: I forgot to check this time around, standby. [02:57] Sean93: Place the script in /init.d [02:57] no, it's a dv7-1135nr [02:57] bazhang - thanks [02:57] oh damn why is my httpd.conf and apache2.conf showing as empty when i nano it [02:57] lea123: think so, but google "Vista Linux dual boot grub" [02:57] oh... [02:57] yeah, it's there [02:57] it shows up [02:58] Robinux, are we talking about ubuntu ?! [02:58] I installed the ubuntu over Vista however it isn't showing up as an option to boot into there when i power on the machine VISTA just loads up... Any ideas on how to install the GRUB during the installation === squishy is now known as rbniknej [02:58] jfv34: Yes. My computer really hates windows.. [02:58] cq75_: Stand by if waiting for me.. reading up... [02:58] maybe the switch was off at startup? But if it's just hardware, touching it should be enough to switch it, right? [02:58] Diamondcite - thanks for helping me [02:58] take your time [02:58] is there a way to set proposed updates so I can see what is available, but not automatically select it for upgrade? [02:58] lolz ok MeanEYE, meany! [02:59] Archimage: Did the checksum end up ok? [02:59] jfv34: Yes. [02:59] cq75_: Silly question, does network manager have a check mark beside "Enable wireless" when you right click on the icon? [02:59] the option is grayed out [02:59] cq75_: What other options are on the list? [03:00] Robinux, so your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf is empty? [03:00] the only ones I can change are enable networking, enable notifications, edit connections, and about [03:00] the only ones I can click on I mean [03:00] Archimage: So the live cd deal gave an error. Try the standard install and see if it will start. [03:00] yes i'm thinking in ubuntu i need to su and view it as root [03:00] or else i can't [03:00] even with sudo [03:00] jfv34: That /was/ the standard instal. :S [03:01] Install* [03:01] cq75_: If it's not too much trouble I would ask for you to reboot with the switch already enabled, it's strange for such a lockout.. (usually if you don't have wireless it won't even show" [03:01] not at all [03:01] Archimage: Is this a desktop? [03:01] I'll reboot [03:01] (I'm typing this on a different computer, obviously) [03:01] Yes, a Acer Aspire from lasy year. [03:02] Last* [03:02] whats the default root passwd in maverick? [03:02] * hd1 is not Google, merely used to work there [03:02] Robinux, apache2.conf should be -rw-r--r-- [03:02] Robinux, there is none [03:02] Archimage: I recommend checking the DVD drive connection and maybe looking in the bios for any dvd drive compatability options [03:02] Alright. [03:02] Robinux, if you want to switch to root, use... sudo su [03:02] Robinux: root on ubuntu is not enabled by default, instead use sudo [03:02] Archimage: This is starting to strike me as a problem of loading stuff from the cd [03:02] MeanEYE, it is like that [03:02] jfv34: Alright, I will check it out. [03:02] i see ok [03:03] MeanEYE, no. sudo -i for a root shell (if you must) [03:03] Diamondcite: note: the wireless card turned off right at startup, but that's normal [03:03] MeanEYE, please dont advocate sudo su here, thanks [03:03] bazhang, ty, I got use to this :D [03:03] still the same problem on reboot [03:03] cq75_, what is the problem? connection issues? [03:04] see! didn't i tell ya MeanEYE :P as root i now can see the contents of the apache2.conf and httpd.conf [03:04] hardware lockout [03:04] but the switch seems to be on [03:04] for a wireless card [03:04] cq75_, it is recognized, and does have the proper drivers though [03:04] yes [03:04] Robinux, :D ok, good :P ... but :D in default settings you can see them without sudo :D... you just can't edit [03:05] cq75_, personally try, wicd, it is a very good network manager, that is easier to use [03:05] cq75_: ubuntu4shane [03:05] err [03:05] itgot it [03:05] cq75_: ubuntu4shane: I'm stomped for now... have at it ^_^ [03:05] got it [03:05] something dumb [03:05] I hit the switch [03:05] it flickered on and off [03:05] cq75_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:05] MeanEYE, then i must've done something to disable my own self from viewing them but oh well thanks for the help mate :D [03:05] and... it works [03:06] Robinux, no prob :D [03:06] hmm... flood [03:06] cq75_: ... (to the switch) ...? (to the flood warning) [03:06] cq75_, ahh, gotta love touchy switches. [03:06] but anyway, it flickered on and off, and suddenly it worked [03:06] anyone heard that new Severed Fifth album? [03:07] MeanEYE, you wouldn't happen to know about setting a servername/hostname for apache2 for usage on an intranet? :P [03:07] cq75_, type your entire sentence on one line, and don't hit return for punctuation, floodbot doesn't like that. [03:07] now it's flickering on and off like a modeml, but I have a steady four bars...? What the heck [03:07] Robinux, you can use localhost or set a custom name if you wish [03:07] anyone know how I can set proposed updates so I can see the updates, but not automatically install them? [03:08] Robinux, you can add custom hoses in /etc/hosts file, like 127.0.0.1 stupid_local_domain.com [03:08] did you guys hear what I said? I'm not sure how much the floodbot blocked [03:08] :D and that would work [03:08] how to set custom name lolz [03:08] anybody have problems getting powerpoint to run in wine? [03:08] cq75_: ping yourself constantly and see if the connection really is dropping out? Maybe it's being used as asn indicator light ^_^ [03:08] oh ok [03:08] ah, ok. one sec [03:08] can get word and excel working fine but not powerpoint [03:08] ubuntu4shane: synaptic have such options [03:08] shcherbak, yes, but I'm not sure how to enable them? any guides? [03:09] it's not dropping out, and it stopped doing that whacky modem flashing thing [03:09] ubuntu4shane: one moment [03:09] shcherbak, or I mean use them, and apply them [03:09] all is well, thanks so much! [03:09] MeanEYE, you're great help man thanks and i lol'd @ stupid_domain_name.com hehe [03:09] cq75_: Odd.. ah well it's working, enjoy! [03:09] Robinux, no problem dude. Web developer here :P... so I might be able to help with something else as well [03:10] anybody? trying to get powerpoint to work through wine. help? [03:10] jc0694: why not use openoffice¿ [03:10] jc0694: More details please, such as WHICH power point version.

[03:10] whoa [03:11] i wanted to use open office but i need to edit and save ms office documents in their original format. :( [03:11] Robinux, just start a private chat :D ... no biggie [03:11] :P [03:11] shcherbak, do you have a link for the guide? I mean I don't mind you walking me through it, but like to see the page. [03:11] Did /etc/network/interfaces up commands cease being run in bash at some point, and switch to sh?

[03:11] How do you make gnome-display montior recognize your montiro [03:11] ubuntu4shane: ubuntu4shane and mark Status (left bottom) [03:11] jc0694: you can save document in 'microsoft format' with openoffice (or other native office suite) [03:11] jc0694, appdb.winehq.org, check which version of office is supported and how they made it work [03:12] shcherbak, ok, with good so far. [03:12] ubuntu4shane: you will see option Upgradable just above [03:12] xangua: u can? i thought u could only open ms office documents but to edit and save you had to go with the other format [03:12] jc0694: better use the office xp format insteat of 2007 (OOXML) [03:13] xangua: argghhh... but office xp can't open .docx format [03:13] shcherbak, ok, I don't see that, assuming because my system is up-to-date [03:13] xangua: only .doc format [03:13] jc0694, you can select which office version you want to save in [03:13] My display preferences say monitor unknown how do i fix that [03:13] jc0694: everyone can open .doc, better than using ooxml [03:13] ubuntu4shane: now (witch right click) you would select single package for upgrage, if you had any [03:14] ubuntu4shane: recoment to check other options too [03:14] shcherbak, I know that I can see the updates there, but I want to enable the proposed updates, which is different than the 'normal' updates [03:14] My display preferences in gnome say monitor unknown how do i fix that [03:14] howto join in the yahoo sales whit Empathy????

[03:21] Fonts are broken in my Ubuntu 10.10 machine. mktextfm dies and Inkscape can see font names but not render them. Google isn't helping. Where should I look? [03:21] Maahes, hmm, odd, I'm not really familiar with xterm, must be preferences somewhere. [03:21] there are. in text files. [03:22] daveorme, did you install custom fonts? [03:22] Maahes: any reason you're sticking with xterm ;P [03:22] daveorme, in terminal run fc-cache -vf [03:23] daveorme, that should force your font cache to check for all new fonts [03:23] hi there, the laptop I was typing on's battery died [03:23] ubuntu4shane: I installed the Microsoft TrueType font package when I first installed [03:23] this is in ubuntu! [03:23] cast: gnome-terminal, even when I unclicked the "select menus from keyboard" setting, still sellects menus from keyboard. Also gnome-terminal is evil about terminfo and termcap stuff, and a fair amount larger than xterm [03:23] ubuntu4shane: Tried the command... [03:23] in any case... in windows, my wireless light means on or off, in linux, it flashes responding to data. So, basically it has a rave party attachment now [03:24] Maahes: indeed, gterm and kterm are evil. urxvt is nice though [03:24] daveorme, did you see a bunch of text in the terminal? should have updated all the fonts on the system [03:25] maahes, ctrl+v is ok, do not need shift [03:25] cast: urxvt is broken in a rather important way: it cannot tell the difference between shift+F1 Ctrl+F1, Alt+F1, etc. same for Home, Pageup, Pagedown, Ins [03:26] ubuntu4shane: Yes; I saw the text. Status: Tex still broken. Inkscape previews the fonts in the dropdown but won't let me pick any--always reverts to Bitstream Vera Sans and displays a little (!) next to it. Ooo works. [03:26] sinai: ctrl+v does not work either. [03:26] Maahes: i did not know that! [03:26] daveorme, hmm, that seems odd, perhaps re-install Inkscape, I would think if it is a font problem, it would be universal, [03:26] it knows the difference for normal keys though [03:27] ive defraged my 2nd hdd so i can resize the partition to make room for ubuntu, but there seems to be some files in the wrong place, can someone take a look at http://imgur.com/IcbVD and tell me its ok [03:27] fortunately for my rxvt use those key combos are uncomfortable [03:27] Gary_B, thats windows [03:27] Hi All [03:27] Maahes, in gnome-terminal copy/paste is done with CTRL+SHIFT+C/V :D and F10 should access the menus... sorry for interruption :D [03:27] ubuntu4shane: I can try that. Odd that both Inkscape and Tex have troubles, but not Ooo... Hmmmm [03:27] hello [03:28] test [03:28] cast: the only way it would really come up for me is if I wanted two bindings for Page up and Page down really, I might try urxvt later [03:28] bazhang> yea i resized the 2nd hdd from my existing windows os [03:28] Gary_B, using a windows tool. try ##windows [03:28] daveorme, yes, that is odd, you didn't manually put any fonts in the font folder did you? [03:28] MeanEYE: I know that. but alt+h brings up help, even though I have "access menus from keys" turned off. This means I can't use alt+h in insert mode in vim [03:28] ubuntu4shane: Nope. [03:29] Question: I have /var/www belongs to root users drwxrwxr-x I want to give my user full access to this folder [03:29] Maahes, ooh, sorry... I just saw few messages and tried to help on a hunch :D... [03:29] can i do this via group permissons [03:29] devilcode, you can either add your user to root group, which is not smart... or you can change folder owner [03:29] daveorme, the only problems I have seen with fonts issues, is when I put the fonts in the folder, and mess up permissions, that gets ugly. I really think it is a inkscape issue. [03:30] MeanEYE ... no way way to give group Users greater permissios [03:30] daveorme, you can try to move the inkscape folder, in your /home to back it up, like cp .inkscape .inkscape.bak and then re-open inkscape [03:30] devilcode, you can change group of /var/www to users [03:31] devilcode, like sudo chown root:users /var/www [03:31] ubuntu4shane: That's a good idea. I'll try that. [03:31] hello [03:31] MeanEYE >> i did this .. but no difference [03:31] hi [03:31] daveorme, never mind that, it doesn't exist, let me track it down [03:31] I would like to know if there's a way to toggle capslock using command line? [03:31] you should probably create a user and group called "webserver" or whatnot, and chown /var/www to them, rather than assigning it to a normal user. === iConfused is now known as iConfused\sleep [03:31] drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 2010-11-13 02:45 www/ [03:31] devilcode, then you need to check what are group permissions on /var/www... do a ls -l and see if group has anything other than read right [03:32] devilcode, hm, and which user can't access that? [03:32] daveorme, ok, in the terminal with inkscape closed try this: cp ~/.config/inkscape ~/.config/inkscape.bak [03:32] daveorme, then open inkscape and see if it was a config problem [03:32] ubuntu4shane: Cool; thanks [03:33] hey all, when I try to install the Emapthy PPA I get an error: "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found." Ideas? [03:33] my user "clickme" which is in group users cant do anythign there [03:33] i want to create another dir inside www [03:33] miststlkr: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" [03:33] or this cp ~/.config/inkscape{,.bak} [03:33] using user clickme [03:33] xangua: I used "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:telepathy/ppa" and got that error [03:34] vijay, show off. :) [03:34] devilcode, you get permission denied error? [03:34] miststlkr: then maybe the keyserver is down, try later [03:34] miststlkr, did you sudo apt-get update ? [03:34] yea [03:34] does somebody know why i've this message when cron try to run my script? (grandchild #6609 failed with exit status 1) when i try to do this manually - all works fine [03:34] ubuntu4shane: just encouraging laziness [03:34] mkdir: cannot create directory `jhgjh': Permission denied [03:35] ubuntu4shane: That fixed Inkscape; just have to get Tex fixed now. But wife wants attention so that will have to wait. :) Thanks ubuntu4shane! [03:35] vijay, it didn't seem to like that, because it was a directory [03:35] daveorme, no prob [03:35] bazhang: what would I be looking for? [03:35] devilcode, that has no sense... :/ did you try with "groups" command to see in which group your user is in? [03:35] ubuntu4shane: ahh... sorry about that, i assumed it was a config file [03:36] my remote desktop viewer is not showing properly. It show the desktop and I am able to move the mouse around but nothing happens when i click on things. however I am still able to control the host computer. So essentially, I can control the host computer but i cannot see the changes i'm making on the client computer. any ideas? [03:36] vijay, no, but none the less, cool trick [03:36] miststlkr, you need to refresh your sources.list [03:36] ubuntu4shane: learnt it on one of those commandlinefu sites... there are a couple around [03:36] bazhang: That worked, but I don't understand why. You need to update before adding a PPA? [03:37] MeanEYE ... feeling a little stupid now [03:37] vijay, yep, love command line, powerful fast. [03:37] ubuntu4shane: anyway do yoiu know if there's a way to toggle capslock from the command line? [03:37] devilcode, same with me... users are not default group anymore :) [03:37] MeanEYE >> i used the GUI System>admin>user/groups and saw the box [03:37] miststlkr, before and after just to be safe (the before part that is) [03:37] evon: are you running compiz? the default remote desktop viewer doesn't really work with compiz. Either try turning it off: System/Preferences/Appearance/Visual Effects to None or try using x11vnc instead with -noxdamage [03:37] assumed it was in there [03:37] ubuntu4shane: my googling skills doesn't get me anywhere :( [03:37] vijay, nope, I assume you would mean for a bash script or something [03:38] command line was nice a clear lol [03:38] ;) [03:38] Is there an alternitve iTunes to sync my iPad with for ubuntu [03:38] devilcode, I assumed the same thing... :D well now you know what the problem is? [03:38] bazhang: thanks. unfortunately I have the latest apparently... anyone else having MSn issues in empathy at the moment? [03:38] thanks [03:38] SamVib: don't think so [03:38] ubuntu4shane: well not for a script, just to toggle it on or off. I found one for numlockx but not for capslock [03:38] Okay so I guess I'll have to boot into windows then [03:39] miststlkr: no problems with other messengers like pidgin and emesene [03:39] trism. are you talking about me running compiz on the client or host? [03:39] ubuntu4shane: since i've made the capslock a ctrl key, and i haven't mapped anything else to capslock... sigh... alright i guess i'll keep searching [03:39] evon: on the remote system that you are connecting to [03:39] devilcode, np :D hope I helped [03:40] vijay, nope, sorry can't be of much help there. [03:40] trism. thanks I will check that out [03:40] o_O @ AKA-Cage [03:40] SamVib: or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization [03:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1521419 SamVib seems not yet [03:41] ok, can anyone explain to me how I can use pinning with pre-release updates, or proposed updates? [03:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto ubuntu4shane [03:42] MEanEYE says i am already a member of group users, but when i type groups .. the group users does not appear [03:42] bazhang, thank you [03:42] cute isn't it... [03:42] devilcode, do you have apache installed? [03:42] yeh [03:43] devilcode, there's a www-data group... which is somewhat native :D for /var/www, change group for that folder to that :D and have fun [03:43] bazhang, I don't know how I overlooked that. thanks that covers what I'm looking for! [03:45] Hello, all [03:45] hello [03:46] Hello. [03:46] bazhang, in this document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports it shows the file as: /etc/apt/preferences is that still the same document for Maverick? or should it be put into /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed ? [03:46] Just wondering, do I need any additional libs than what the stock install of Ubuntu 10.10 offers to play DVDs? [03:46] What is the best font on ubuntu? [03:46] Mayazcherquoi, libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org ? [03:47] bazhang: Thanks :) [03:47] I'm trying to fix my sound driver not being detected by using a command called "modprobe", but I can't remember how to use it right. [03:47] Anyone have an opinion on a better font to replace the original ubuntu font? [03:48] Agent001: sudo apt-get install ttf-droid [03:48] ubuntu4shane, reading the first link, seems to apply to Maverick as well [03:48] I remember to type "modprobe ____" with the underline being whatever I want to use the command on. Is that correct? [03:48] xangua, i assume that font is great since its recommended by you? [03:49] Agent001: it's droid default font ;) [03:49] bazhang, ok, thanks [03:49] android* [03:49] do you use it? do you feel great using it? [03:49] Use the Pokemon RS font. [03:49] Naw bro, I don't do pokemon. [03:49] Best font ever. [03:50] Awwww. [03:50] hakume, give me link [03:50] Just a sec. [03:50] I have it bookmarked. [03:51] anyone else got an nvidia internal card? [03:51] I do. [03:51] I've ALWAYS used nvidia. [03:51] i'm experiencing a problem and would like to know if it's my drivers or adobe or something else [03:52] i occasionally get these blue lines to the right of everything [03:52] i'm thinkin it's related to adobe cause it just happened while i was watching a youtube, and when the video was over it went away [03:53] but it's not constantly reproduceable [03:53] or else i would KNOW [03:54] the lines move too [03:54] xangua, dude. There is something seriously wrong with your recommendation font. It looks just like ubuntu's font. [03:54] kinda like the matrix?? u know what i mean? I'll take a screenshot next time [03:55] bazhang: The DVDs still will not play. However, this time I am not getting a "resource" error. [03:55] anyone know why the nmap package in our lucid repo is so old ? I'm getting 5.00 here and should be up near 5.20 [03:56] Abhijit: http://www.dafont.com/pokemon-ruby-sapphi.font [03:56] hakume, thank you. [03:56] 5.21 here [03:56] Where is xangua? [03:56] ub 10.10 [03:56] rinku_kokiri, that aimed at me ? [03:56] I think it was. [03:56] yep.. [03:57] just lettin u know what i had [03:57] AbhiJit: No problem, friend. [03:58] Anyway, can someone explain why the electric sheep screensaver doesn't wanna kill my processor when running in Xwinwrap (and three duplicates running within mplayer!!) while as a screensaver it wants to give my computer a cardiac arrest? [03:58] Tiox, cool story bro [03:58] lol [03:58] Wait...' [03:58] rinku_kokiri, thanks [03:58] hipitihop, yep srry i didn't callout [03:59] If I have xwinwrap running it as sticky, it would reproduce itself as many times as many wprspaces I have right? [03:59] workspaces* [03:59] rinku_kokiri, np, so I wonder if I should just get latest deb or something, as I'm not quite ready to go 10.10 [03:59] Or because it's sticky, it only runs in one window duplicated to all workspaces? [03:59] tiox, it doesn't reproduce, it sticks to root window... but is visible on any desktop... as long as you have only one monitor [03:59] I'm going to need to get more fonts for ubuntu. Someone recommend me another nice one please [03:59] hipitihop, dunno [03:59] Got'cha. As for why electric sheep wants to race my proc to death?

[04:13] This is the first time I have experienced this problem. [04:14] hakume, pci card? [04:16] Let's see. I transplanted the card to this computer from my other old desktop so I could have better quality sound. [04:16] I connected everything right, since it worked initially.

[04:21] at all [04:21] I think I did a list of updates shortly before the sound stopped working. [04:21] anyone? [04:21] No. [04:22] I first noticed it when I ran ZSNES, though.

In the Grub recovery menu, I tried dpkg -"repair broken packages", and it complains that fglrx (a display driver) is marked for removal, but it can't be removed. [04:29] somebody please help! [04:29] stranger ill try [04:29] devilcode, don't suppose you unlocked root aye? [04:29] no .... *looks down at the floor* [04:30] booo, thank you! did you read there problem i'm having? [04:30] nope [04:30] repost it [04:30] devilcode: boot into single user mode by adding a S to your kernel line in grub. Once you are in single user mode you should be able to edit /etc/group and add your account back to the admin|adm (can [04:30] after an upgrade flash stopped working on my system. i tried to uninstall it to reinstall but it is saying "Previous installation hasn't been completed" [04:30] can't remember which group name it is off the top of my head.

[04:31] Best of luck Devilscode! [04:31] i used yast to install banshee works great [04:31] there's a usb disk which ins't connected to my system, but which my system thinks in connected. when i plug it in, it won't connect, because my system thinks that it already exists. how can i resolve this? [04:31] booo, hahaha. thanks anyway [04:31] im using a different dirso then you [04:32] did you try to compiler it? [04:32] stranger: how did you install banshee? [04:32] packmazn [04:32] packman [04:32] rpm rocks [04:32] booo, this is ubuntu not arch [04:32] booo, stay on topic please [04:32] booo, i'm using ubuntu but it works for me in opensuse as well. someone else has this problem and i'm trying to help him [04:32] If you did it from the the repositories you can do "sudo apt-get install --reinstall banshee" [04:33] /j #g2root [04:33] doh [04:33] Cyrano_De, thanks! i'll tell him to try. anything else in case it soesn't work? [04:33] strange, did you try looking around on their forums [04:33] see if anyone had a simlar problem [04:33] thats what i normally do [04:34] booo, you mean ubuntu forums. i tried there and everywhere else but the difficult part is that i can't test it myself 'cause someone else has the problem [04:34] If he is running the 32bit package on a 64 bit install and it was not installed via apt-get then getlibs might help. [04:34] he posted the problem in the forums and i'm trying to help him [04:35] i see [04:35] hello [04:35] Cyrano_De, it's definitely a mono thing but i don't really know how mono works on the background so i can't really help him more [04:35] getlibs is very helpful in getting Webex to run on 64bit ubuntu. [04:35] so thank you Cyrano_De and booo [04:36] Cyrano_De, is getlibs an apt option? [04:36] Cyrano_de you running 10.10? [04:37] when running this in ubuntu pecl install "channel://pecl.php.net/zip-1.10.2" I get make: *** [php_zip.lo] Error 1 make failed [04:37] StrangeCharm, what happens if you terminal, sudo nautilus and then delete /media/XXXX when it is unplugged and then try again? [04:37] stranger: No, getlibs is a tool that helps you find and install the 32bit dependancies some applications require. [04:37] CensoredBiscuit: On this netbook I am running 10.10. My workstation and business laptops are 10.04.1 [04:38] jaffachris, it's not in media. it's a luks-encrypted usb disk. the error is that device udisks-luks-uuid-blah already exists [04:38] Cyrano_De, oh cool, i'll tell him. i'm running the 32-bit version 'cause the 64-bit version isn't fully supported and it's like having 2 OS installed in the place of one [04:38] jaffachris, it doesn't even get to mounting it [04:38] I have a Manhattan Mini Cam. Where can I find a driver for it? [04:38] After doing a package upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10, the entire system freezes after playing any type of media, either from the internet or local. What could be causing the problem? [04:39] When I start my computer Grub will allow me to boot into recovery mode. Is the recovery mode an Ubuntu feature or is recovery mode also provided in other Linux distributions? [04:40] bullgard4: many distros add a recovery mode to the grub menu. [04:40] bullgard4, i think it's all of them but with different names each [04:40] it's like safe mode on windows [04:40] StrangeCharm, en ca case, i am hopeless, pretty new to it all really. other than drivers, i would be lost [04:41] VCCN, [04:41] if you screw up with something you installed you can remove it to fix the problem [04:41] Cyrano_De, stranger Thank you for answering. [04:41] yspan: What is a Manhattan Mini Cam? Is it a webcam? [04:42] bullgard4, you're welcome :) [04:42] hi, can anyone here help me with running ubuntu in vmware? after i update ubuntu and restart, ubuntu won't respond to cursor movements or keystrokes [04:42] i'm frozen at the login screen [04:42] If it is a webcam, did you install a webcam app like Cheese and see if it shows up? [04:42] Cyrano_De, yes it is a webcam. there are only Windows drivers on the website. I was wondering how to set it up. [04:43] *sigh* I'm just going to have to back up all of my stuff and reinstall. [04:43] Cyrano_De, I have not installed Cheese. Is there an apt-get command for it? [04:43] Curator: Did you install the vmware tools and run vmware-config-tools.pl? [04:43] Hi [04:43] no luck [04:44] yes, i have before [04:44] it's worked fine UNTIL i updated ubuntu [04:44] do i need to reinstall vmware tools? [04:44] yspan: "sudo apt-get install cheese" should get it. That has picked up the three webcams I have. [04:44] Cyrano_De, I did install Cheese and it works. Thank you! [04:44] Thanks for the info Cyrano_De. I've been having webcam problems myself. [04:44] yspan: One Dell laptop, this acer netbook and a usb logitech. [04:45] Curator: You need to re-run the vmware-config-tools.pl script. [04:45] i cannot even log into ubuntu at the moment, though [04:45] i'm totally forzen [04:46] frozen* [04:46] does anybody know how to get eterm to work? [04:46] ok cant get into single user mode as i cant get to the grub screen ... just to worsen the problem in on ubunut on a mac [04:46] Curator: Can you get to a ptty? CTRL-ALT-F1? [04:46] no, ubuntu does not respond to any input [04:47] Curator: if not can you boot into the recovery mode and get to a console? [04:47] how is this done through vmware? [04:48] is the following bug known: when display resumes from sleep, colors are corrupted [04:48] eterm anyone? [04:48] jfv34: You still here? D: [04:48] :D* [04:48] lol, i should really just not update ubuntu [04:48] this is bad [04:48] i don't really have any way to get into it [04:48] the weird thing is, i had this exact same problem a while back, but i can't remember how i fixed it [04:49] how do i get vmpk to work with ardour? [04:49] hello, someone know how can i get this on my ubuntu? the widgets, calendar.. http://ubuntued.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/menu_ubuntu_tweak.jpg [04:49] can someone tell me [04:49] what are you talking about [04:50] can someone tell me [04:50] pr0mised: i like that, but i don't know what it is... [04:51] Curator: You have to chose the rescue mode option in the initial grub boot menu when the VM first boots up. [04:51] What would be the best way to notify myself when my ubuntu server finishes running every process with a given set of PIDs? [04:51] pr0mised: actually, it might be rainlendar... if it is, its not the default theme, but it looks remarkably familiar [04:51] Could I, for example, make a script that would email myself? [04:51] After upgrading to 10.10, I can't get into a graphical user environment. In the Grub recovery menu, I tried dpkg (to "repair broken packages"), and it complains that fglrx (a display driver) is marked for removal, but it can't be removed. What can I do to see whether this is the actual problem, or is it something else? [04:52] anyone know how to get to single user mode on ubuntu 10.04 LTS running for all my shame on a macbook pro [04:52] does left for dead2 work under ubuntu 10.10? [04:52] cyrano_de: i do not see a grub menu [04:53] pr0mised: That could be screenlets [04:53] evening everyone [04:54] zkanfer: can you pastebin anything? [04:54] so im in the linux mint setup [04:55] and able to connect to the lan and browse the net, very unlike winxp ;-) [04:55] hi everyone [04:55] hi === denysonique is now known as Guest58548 [04:55] ChogyDan: I think I can get into failsafeX mode from the Recovery Menu and then put stuff into pastebin, yeah. [04:55] my laptop hangs frequently. i have ubuntu 10.10. [04:56] rigved, sounds like an acpi issue.. there's probably hints for your laptop model with ubuntu [04:56] i resized my windows partition to leave 50GB free, but the auto setup seems to want to overrwite my windows rather than partition up the free space? [04:57] Gary, choose advanced/custom part when the partition choice comes [04:57] ChogyDan: actually, failsafeX isn't working now. It was working earlier this evening, but not now. I can manually copy stuff over, though. [04:57] Curator: What version of vmware? If it is ESX or server you can add a boot delay to the VM that might help. If it is player you have to add a 'bios.bootDelay = "5000"' option to the .vmx file [04:57] Gary_B, lower button on that setup page [04:57] Gary_B, choose advanced/custom part when the partition choice comes [04:57] cyrano_de: it's player. where is the .vmx file? [04:58] yagoo: done, do i need to setup seperate swap file, main partitions for linux? [04:58] zkanfer: I might be able to help if I had some specifics [04:58] Gary_B, yeah.. u need 1 swap partition and 1 partition for "/".. you just need two partition for linux [04:59] yagoo: how do i check if it really is an acpi issue? any logs which i can check? [04:59] Gary_B, how much ram do you have? [04:59] yagoo: 2GB swap will be 2x the size of my ram yea? [04:59] rigved, well you can google 'wiki ubuntu ' [04:59] ChogyDan: ok, do you want the output for the dpkg error? [05:00] Gary_B, that's good [05:00] pr0mised: oh yeah, its rainlendar for sure [05:00] Gary_B, 2048 Megs is good [05:00] zkanfer: is it dpkg --configure -a? [05:00] yagoo: are they logical or primary partitions, note i have a windows partition already? [05:01] Curator: It will be in the directory that holds the virtual machine files. There will be some .vmdk files for the virtual drive and a .vmx file that discribes what the VM is configured with. [05:01] ok [05:01] ChogyDan: I'm not sure; when I get into the Grub recovery menu, there's an option that's "dpkg repair broken packages". [05:01] Gary_B, how many partition you want to make? [05:01] I can go into a root shell and try that command, though. [05:01] just the basic setup for linux [05:01] zkanfer: ya, that makes more sense I think [05:02] Gary_B, you can have 3 partitions-- 1 for win, 1 for "/", 1 for swap.. they would be all primary. [05:02] I ran dpkg --configure -a , and it immediately returned with no output [05:02] zkanfer: apt-get install -f [05:02] yagoo: great, thanks, since win partition is already first, does it make a diff if my swap is in the middle or the end of the disk [05:03] Gary_B, "/" can be ext4. [05:03] Gary_B, either way.. linux is very flexible..

[05:16] hey im new at this... where can I get wireless networking assistance? [05:17] Roasted: not really any need, though it can be handy (so you can auth as yourself and have write access for example) [05:17] mikrochip: it says not a directory [05:17] wtf? [05:17] Roasted, you can use swat. [05:17] yagoo, pretty sure SWAT was dropped (and not advised to use) with Ubuntu. [05:18] MidnighToker, yeah I was just curious. I like having authentication but I was just wondering if they were needed under that unique situation I pointed out. [05:18] hello , I use vnc to run my kvm guest os , and it work well because I can hear starting sound of windows , but I can't find it by remoto destop viwer , how can I sovle this problem ? [05:18] so if theres no xulrunner sdk in my /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.12 and I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat does this mean I will have to install the xulrunner sdk [05:18] Roasted, you can use swat. [05:18] * yagoo -_- === jason is now known as Guest42352 [05:18] yagoo, I know I CAN use swat, but I heard it caused a lot of issues and Ubuntu advised not to use it. [05:18] Just saying. [05:19] Roasted: the only edge case, is; do you trust everyone that can access your network... do you want everything that "public" ;) [05:19] Roasted, it's in 10.10 [05:19] Roasted, so use it [05:19] i need help only way i can get the software-center to come up i have to pull it up with terminal [05:19] MidnighToker, that wasn't a serious situation.

I just started using Ubuntu like 3-4 days ago [05:26] its already the newest version [05:26] KarmicNull, what wifi brand is it [05:26] what i did is i installed my security updates to get my wpa working before i updated the rest of the distro [05:26] KarmicNull, are you saying iwlist works or not? [05:26] dont THINK that broke it [05:27] Amber2: System menu -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager.

[05:29] KarmicNull, you still didnt answer my question.. was .24 working well with it, and what is it in .25 that you need u dont get in .24 ? [05:29] Amber2: use nicks.. type the first part of a nick and hit TAB for auto completion.. it should highlight on the receiving end.. if they use your nick it should highlight for you [05:30] ok [05:30] Amber2: makes it easier to ignore the stuff you don't want to read. [05:30] yes it was and nothing...i needed nothing in the new kernel it just came with the updates [05:30] I know how to use IRC [05:30] Lol [05:30] i didnt select it i let my system do the selecting on the updates [05:30] KarmicNull, so boot up with the .24 kernel [05:30] Amber2: yet you're still not using nicks... go figure [05:30] it said twas a security update so i didnt argue with it -_- [05:30] erm...the update breaks it? [05:31] the .24 kerrnel wont load says somethin bout the init or somethin [05:31] KarmicNull, do yuo still have .24 in the grub menu or not?

[05:31] yup i do [05:31] KarmicNull, oh [05:31] but when i try to boot it its messed up [05:31] KarmicNull: how did you try to install ath9k? [05:31] When firefox is open, only firefox has sound output. [05:31] chromium is worth to try [05:31] lets see [05:31] And no other program can output any sound. [05:32] i tried the apt linux backports install [05:32] When firefox is closed, other programs work fine. What do? [05:32] KarmicNull: please one line [05:32] ive tried to manually compile it from tar.bz2 with the compat wireless [05:32] Godfiend: are you using ubuntu hardy¿ [05:32] what action case this [05:32] 8.04* [05:32] xangua: Yes I am, sir. [05:32] KarmicNull: Im using ath9k, have been for awhile. It in theory should be well supported at this point [05:32] Godfiend: there was a package to fix that, i can¿t remember how is called [05:33] oh sorry dan ^_^ but anyway i run into build errors when installing it from tarball and the apt way just doesnt work at all [05:33] KarmicNull: do you have a bug report open? [05:33] no no i don't [05:33] Hmmm... I'll look through some package stuff. [05:33] i really dont understand why compiling it isnt working i've done everything thats worked for everyone else [05:33] Godfiend: what's the output of : aptitude search pulse ¿ [05:34] KarmicNull: for ath9k, I think you should open a bug report if linux-backports-modules-lucid-generic didn't work [05:34] okay ill do that but it still doesnt help me figure out why even AFTER i install that driver it still wont show my wireless networks [05:35] and im still new enough to not know how to probe that driver lol [05:35] xangua: http://pastebin.com/0GMMXpHk [05:35] KarmicNull: well, you should just install it and it will work. What is it that you were compiling? Madwifi? [05:36] well i did and it didnt lol but all the same i was compiling the driver directly from tarball from the compat wireless drivers [05:36] Godfiend: you need to install: libflashsupport [05:36] then just close the browser and that should fix it [05:37] KarmicNull: did you "make install" stuff? because that puts stuff on your system that is hard to track [05:37] !info libflashsupport hardy [05:37] libflashsupport (source: libflashsupport): Support library for sound output of Flash 9 with pulseaudio.

Question #! what should the hostname of the server be? Q #2 do I add that an an A or CNAME Q #3 should resolve.conf look at 127.0.0.1 [05:38] or pub IP#1 and pub IP#2 and what should search and the other line say? A few more questions for anyone who thinks they can help. [05:38] ive weent back to a fresh install three times making sure that none of my other failures conflicted with my new attempts at getting this wireless card to work properly [05:39] xangua: Thank you sir, that solved it!

[05:42] * tiox doesn't know -- has no experience [05:42] it's limited to 60Hz, but it should be capable of _way_ more than that. [05:43] Hmmm... [05:43] when I boot ubuntu gnome-panel will randomly load the notification area with a big black space in it, there is no icon there just a black space, I can unload and reload the notification area to fix it, its just random and confusing, any ideas? [05:43] Try opening from terminal with sudo privileges. [05:43] Might unlock the refresh rate dialog. (Never know.)

[05:49] it's ran perfectly before this [05:49] yes [05:49] Ctrl+Alt+Space then Ctrl+Alt+F1 [05:49] maybe updating ubuntu killed it or something [05:50] sounds strange. Have you tried with VirtualBox? [05:50] is virtualbox better? [05:50] by far. I haven't used vmware for several years. [05:50] vmware is ok [05:50] williamherry: it takes no input at all [05:51] but hey, i've always thought vmware was kind of stuttery and slow [05:51] if virtualbox is better...

[05:53] hello [05:54] i dont know no how to update mi grub to my live cd [05:54] so, I'm trying to get Ubuntu to load my preferred wireless module by default at boot as opposed to the module it typically loads. I'm looking at /etc/modules, but it doesn't list either of the modules I'm looking to mess with. Would it be wise to put my preferred modules name here?

What should I do ? [05:59] hello everybody. I want to connect mobile broadband from my " samsung c3010s ", can somebody help me with that. When i connect my nokia mobile to my system, my internet gets connected automatically in a second, but when i connect my samsung mobile, ubuntu doesnt detect my mobile. Is there some software/driver that i need to download ? I am using ubuntu 9.10 [06:00] when i try to use the startup disk creator to copy the ubuntu install disk onto a usb drive, it just says 'installation failed' and closes. what's going on?

I just purchased a dedicated server, it's in texas and I'm in South Carolina, I can ssh in and I get a ubuntu 9.x server terminal. but I want to install some sort of gui. I realize that this is done everyday so im just looking for a link to some info [06:07] you generally don't have that kind of access [06:07] Empathy is stuck at connecting to MSN. Ive tried connecting like 10 times... Is there a reaon for this? [06:07] you might contact the support staff wherever you bought the server from [06:09] test [06:09] hi [06:09] they charge for suport apparently [06:10] what are you using the server for [06:10] and why do you need a gui so desperately [06:10] LAMP mostly, but allso gaming and vent etc [06:11] because im a linux noob [06:11] well [06:11] you may not be able to host vent [06:11] or game servers [06:11] need to make sure its not just a web host first of all :P [06:11] if its a web host, that means LAMP only [06:11] list [06:11] well source games have linux server support [06:11] bo_: I dont understand why you need a gui. What are you trying to do? [06:12] some do yes, but the problem lies in what permissions you're given with ssh [06:12] you may be limited to executing web content only === corey__ is now known as RbTcLaRk [06:12] who did you purchase hosting from [06:12] its a dedicated server, not lamp only [06:13] the planet [06:13] ahh [06:13] well [06:13] edit configuration files and such locally then upload to your server [06:13] scp nameoffile user@host:./nameoffile [06:13] transfers a file [06:14] so in a fresh Linux Mint instal do i need to enable the ufw firewall? [06:14] and this is a perfect time to learn linux, bo_ =) [06:14] Gary_B, ask in a mint support channel [06:14] !mintsupport > Gary_B [06:14] Gary_B, please see my private message [06:14] !mint | Gary_B [06:14] Gary_B: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:14] bazhang: ok [06:14] yeah it rocks, im a desktop user now for a year, but my server has been winblows [06:14] so im trying to switch to linux [06:15] How much disk space takes a Query in OO.o Base 3.2.1? [06:15] well.. if you're not 100% comfortable with a complete gui environment, you can use webmin to start.. [06:15] http://www.webmin.com [06:15] lets you configure some predetermined server variables, you may be able to find a plugin for ventrilo [06:16] if all else fails, test in a virtual machine [06:16] !webmin | jep1985 [06:16] yeah I can set up webmin, I looked into that [06:16] jep1985: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [06:16] its not supported, no, but it still works lol [06:16] anyone having issues with kontact, or is it just me? [06:16] my usb flash drive is not detected by unetbootin, how do i detect it? [06:16] bo_: command line is very easy to learn. bought this book to start http://is.gd/gZuUq and love it. [06:16] ljsoftnet are you running as sudo? [06:16] so, I'm trying to get Ubuntu to load my preferred wireless module by default at boot as opposed to the module it typically loads. I'm looking at /etc/modules, but it doesn't list either of the modules I'm looking to mess with. Would it be wise to put my preferred modules name here? [06:17] I just want to have a gnome or openbox or somthing so that it's just as convenient aas windows server [06:17] jep1985 i dont know [06:17] bazhang: I have been using webmin on ubuntu for about 18 months - I've had no issues [06:17] how are you launching unetbootin? clicking an icon? [06:17] jep1985: if it's not supported i wouldnt recommed it :) [06:17] i've been using it for a couple years, since they took the libmd5 bs out of webmin it works just fine === frobisher is now known as cassarole [06:18] jep1985: yyup [06:18] thats the only problem i've ever had with it [06:18] jep1985 yes [06:19] ljsoftnet try it from command line? "sudo unetbootin" in a terminal? [06:19] well for now I'll just try webmin, but I would like to some day install gnome or somthing [06:19] [Maverick] How can I remove all KDE DEB program packages? I need more free disk space on my hard disk. [06:20] How do I boot any iso file from grub2.........I can see tuts only for linux distro iso [06:20] bullgard4, using gnome now? [06:20] jep1985 still no drives [06:20] bazhang: Yes. [06:20] bullgard4, /msg ubottu puregnome [06:21] d/ling unetbootin.. sec [06:21] b0_: 1) webmin isn't supported on Ubuntu due to configuration file craziness. 2) http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [06:22] bo_: ^^^ [06:22] i agree rww === greg is now known as gregnotcraig [06:22] 20% of the "packages" you have to goof with the config files, but those aren't the ones i use [06:23] ubottu: webmin [06:23] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [06:23] How to hibernate? [06:23] how to see if the ubuntu wireless card is supported or not [06:23] !info hibernate [06:23] hibernate (source: hibernate): smartly puts your computer to sleep (suspend to RAM or disk). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.99-1.1 (maverick), package size 93 kB, installed size 464 kB [06:24] rww: I think firefox NOT working on 64 bit systems are more of an issue, then mark shuttleworth doesn't like webmin. [06:24] Hibernate doesn't resume after saving to disk? How to fix it? [06:24] Blue1: Mark Shuttleworth has nothing to do with webmin's lack of support in Debian and Ubuntu, and Firefox works fine on my 64-bit system. [06:24] sresu: I've never had good luck with hibernate so don;t use it. [06:25] rww: what's the secret of ff working on 64 bit systems then? [06:25] rammyirc easy way just use livecd test first [06:25] Blue1: Well, I suppose many other users have it functional [06:25] Blue1: sudo apt-get install firefox and you're done. [06:25] for me, anyway. [06:25] rww: it locks up my system here. [06:25] no i already installed [06:25] Blue1: congratulations [06:25] ok [06:25] ethernet conn works [06:25] rww: others have reported same problem - so it's not just me. [06:26] but wireless is not enabled [06:26] rammyirc is it usb device u have [06:26] now I have a new problem lol. the planet staff sent me this picture of a error message that it's giving http://www.boisapunk.com/pics/img00360.jpeg [06:26] no [06:26] built in laptop [06:26] my usb flash drive is not detected by unetbootin, how do i detect it? [06:26] Blue1, google chrome has a NATIVE linux version now [06:26] sorry re link http://www.boisapunk.com/pics/img00360.jpg [06:26] !chrome [06:27] rammyirc check this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [06:27] jep1985: use but chrome does NOT offer to save passwords, even though that;s enabled -- so using opera. [06:27] Blue1: I'm not sure I would blame Ubuntu for Firefox locking up a system. Firefox has become the definition of bloat. It locks up on every OS 32 bit or 64 bit for me. [06:27] ahh [06:27] anybody know a good 3rd party youtube viewing program? [06:27] Cyrano_De: it works fine on my 32 bit systems - just not 64 [06:27] !info chromium-browser | jep1985 Blue1 [06:27] jep1985: chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.0.517.44~r64615-0ubuntu0.10.10.1 (maverick), package size 13985 kB, installed size 47928 kB [06:27] have you tried Galeon or Seamonkey Blue1? [06:28] what version do you run rammyirc [06:28] jep1985: nope never heard of either... [06:28] ubuntu 10.04 LTS [06:28] jep1985: odd thing, chrome and opera work fine, just not ff [06:28] ok 32 or 64 bit [06:28] 32 bit [06:28] bazhang: Thank you very much for your help. [06:29] !seamonkey [06:29] Seamonkey, formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite", is available at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ with install instructions for ubuntu at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186011 [06:29] hmm worth checking out [06:29] yep [06:29] cylob: I don't know how good they are, I use chrome, but there is minitube and totem has a youtube plugin. [06:29] Galeon is also decent [06:29] i haven't bothered with opera too much [06:29] ok do u see networkmanager in upper right corner [06:30] !galeon [06:30] hello [06:30] :-( [06:30] i installed postfix but sendmail is still listening on port 25. how do i kill sendmail process from listening? [06:30] matrix: i see network manager [06:30] !info galeon | Blue1 [06:30] Blue1: Package galeon does not exist in maverick [06:30] hello everybody [06:30] it says the wireless networks , device not ready [06:30] did you try to clcik on it see if you see your wifi or others [06:30] !info sleep [06:30] Package sleep does not exist in maverick [06:30] ok i see === share is now known as Guest5478 [06:31] hi [06:31] jep1985: thanks I d/l will try tomorrow [06:31] alrighty [06:31] matrix: are u able to access the problem [06:31] i am trying [06:31] i'm on the endless quest for a noob friendly server environment [06:31] jep1985: brain is toast from getting vpn working. [06:31] *developing [06:32] can you get me any onfo about what you have [06:32] thanks... hope u r able to figure out [06:32] yes that's my next chore [06:32] i am trying to help you [06:32] jmdesigner81: jmdesigner81 "/etc/init.d/sendmail stop" [06:32] soon as i stop installing different distros on my virt server [06:32] will do anything i can [06:32] always end up back with ubuntu.. [06:32] possibly off-topic: if im installing ubuntu on a mac mini, should i set clock as UTC or no? [06:33] DuckMaestro: Are you dualbooting? [06:33] DuckMaestro: yes, UTC [06:33] yes [06:33] yes, to dualbooting [06:33] i think UTC is OK [06:33] jep1985: What are you trying to serve? Files, printers, websites? [06:33] DuckMaestro: Mac is a UNIX/BSD blah blah type OS so its all UTC [06:34] when you type lspci -v | less what do you get [06:34] rdw200169: thanks. makes sense. [06:34] oh i can do it from the CLI no problem, this is just a project i'd like to start sometime to get more people to choose linux over windows [06:34] i.e. a linux "Server Manager" comparable to the server manager gui in windows server 2008 [06:34] Cyrano_De: thanks! [06:35] Cyrano_De: i'm still having trouble installing postfix. it's not working properly [06:35] jep1985: there used to be webmin, but i found it to be cumbersome... i find that the power of a linux server comes from its endless configurability and inevitable difficulty [06:35] i tried tht [06:35] jep1985: I am stepping away from squishy machine - thanks for your help - I will leave you with this bit of bash humour (don;t shoot) -- http://bash.org/?925793 [06:35] INVITE #ubuntu [06:35] jep1985: I have not played with it but ebox looks like it has a bit of that. There is always freenas as well. [06:35] rammyirc if your card is not suported you can always use ndswrapper and use windows driver for your card [06:35] i dont see that it detected my wireless [06:36] ok [06:36] oh how is that [06:36] ebox is so SLOW though [06:36] and i can't really get it to do what i want it to do anyway [06:36] i understand that what do you get when you do a dmesg tail [06:36] So it emulates Windows perfectly.... [06:36] Anyone know of a QR-Code generator for ubuntu? [06:36] but i'm going for something via gtk [06:36] well yes [06:36] rdw200169: servers are not hard in linux so long as you don't need anything exotic. And then, when you need exotic things, not hard after you've spent the time writing a bunch of deployment scripts and beating your head against a wall [06:36] its intended audience will be people who are using windows now [06:37] Maahes: for you and I, yes, but i was referring to jep1985 's intended audience [06:37] for me i'd rather use command line [06:37] rammyirc can you do a dmesg tail and give me output please [06:37] for those rare instances i need a gui i'll fire up fluxbox to use firefox for whatever reason i need it [06:38] im restarting [06:38] I gave up on trying to convert admins. I happily show them what can be done and how to do it if they ask. [06:38] make sure you pastebin it [06:38] jep1985: the intended audience should be people who actually know what they're doing with servers in the first place... if they can run a web server on Windows Server, IIS or whatever, they should be able to apply the same concepts in Linux... if they can't, then they are proving that they didn't know what they were doing in the first place. === arghDNS is now known as frustro [06:38] ok [06:38] does anyone know how to fix this postfix/trivial-rewrite[25014]: fatal: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem ? [06:39] dont give up rammyirc something simple [06:39] jep1985: all you're doing is re-affirming how completely useless all those arcane and wasteful certifications are, like Net+, Server+, MCSE, etc... [06:39] yeah i will try [06:39] rdw200169: The MCSE program and Windows Adminsistration philosophy puts a lot of "didn't know what they were doing in the first place" administrators out there in the wild. [06:39] haha [06:40] i'm in the process of moving my employer to linux [06:40] Cyrano_De: haha, i think i beat you to that punch, hahahaha [06:40] i've already got them using ubuntu for our POS software [06:40] hello [06:40] does anybody know of a tool that I can use to log exactly what files are added/deleted/modified in the filesystem when a run a series of commands? [06:40] jep1985 sounds good [06:40] working on consolidating some of the junk in the server room into 1 single virtual serve [06:41] i almost broke my arm yesterday :( i've been here 2 months, i think rats moved into the jumble o wires hehe [06:41] it has it's own creature [06:41] anyone working with the new volume app development? [06:41] jep1985: no no, 2 server clones with a heartbeat backup running between them... [06:41] i've not gotten that advanced with it yet [06:41] yes indeed but opensource so much more powerful then windoze [06:41] I'm going crazy at my new job with SuSE. Novell insists on a full desktop install on SLES (The last "S" refering to server) in order to install and run OES (Netware hacked onto the back of Linux) [06:41] and it's only going to be replacing 5 servers.. i'm not lucky enough to need a clustered setup hehe [06:42] anything takes time just have to be patient and keep learning [06:42] i'd give my left arm to be let loose in a datacenter level virtualization scenario [06:42] why my ubuntu said its at 120hz while my 120hz LCD monitor said its NOT at 120hz?! [06:42] which channel has the ubuntu developers? [06:42] its always been same problem since i upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 [06:43] teco: hahahah you think they would tell us? [06:43] rudyl313: You can install and turn on the auditd tools. [06:43] i'm going to get down to doing the LFS project eventually, i'd like to learn a lot more [06:43] need to eat a couple linux bibles i think [06:43] Cyrano_De: thanks I'll look into that [06:43] somebody would help me out, I'm not really happy about this, Ubuntu should already have support ubuntu and 120hz LCD monitors at 120hz already [06:44] Hi I am having a little trouble with samba. Using mint 10. smb.conf can be viewed here http://pastebin.com/LWG8zKLf - smbclient //localhost works on server end, but using smbclient on client end, i get a message saying "NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_REPONSE", ports 139 and 445 are open. Any ideas? [06:44] zachlr: its possible that there is a miscommunication between your monitor and X11... [06:44] jep1985 it is ok to read some of the books but personal i think many of the books are the same [06:44] heh.. i'm just not sure where to look for "training" [06:45] the google approach has been working but it's slow [06:45] jep1985 learn much from just doing it learn from mistakes [06:45] hehe [06:45] zachlr: it may also depend on how old your monitor is... older monitors don't support EDID's and such that report to X Windows exactly what values for width/height/frequency it works for [06:46] ive really got to read some of the kvm/libvirt documentation, i'm finding out it does stuff that i couldn't get it to do "out of the box" [06:46] which in turn caused me to go crazy trying to find a hypervisor i cared about.. heh.. always kept reinstalling ubuntu [06:46] rudyl313: changetrack, collectd, dnotify and fam might also work well for you.

[06:52] and explain to me why it won't do 120hz? [06:53] jep1985 yes there is many ways to do things in linux some times simple script do the trick [06:53] tim_: sudo smbpasswd at the server, add a smb username for clients that will be connecting. [06:53] I'm sorry zacstone i can't help you.. i don't know much about that [06:53] cyrano : it gives this error "E: Couldn't find package qbittorrent" [06:53] Hello - I'm trying to configure LAMP server on my ubuntu 10.04 OS. However, during the mySQL install, the system hasn't prompt me to enter root password. But, all the articles on the web shows it prompts for pasword. What could be the MYSQL password now ? :( [06:53] cyrano : what to do now ? [06:53] jep1985, that really sucks [06:53] matrix: whenever i have to do administrative stuff in windows it takes me longer to do it than normal because i'm trying to use linux commands! [06:53] i'm having trouble installing postfix... [06:54] kindlebit: you need to enable the Universe repositories [06:54] i.e. using the command line, ls instead of dir [06:54] i deleted the postfix directory. how do i get it back? how do i install it manually? [06:54] mv instead of move [06:54] jep1985, been since ubuntu 10.10 released and there isn't fix for it [06:54] dir works in ubuntu 10.00 [06:54] i'm still using 10.04 [06:54] !universe > kindlebit [06:54] kindlebit, please see my private message [06:54] jep1985 thats a good way to froce you todo more command line way to go [06:54] jep1985: write win batch files to alias common 'nix type commands [06:54] i won't upgrade until 10.10 has been out awhile longer [06:54] of course it does jmdesigner, but ls doesn't work in the windows command prompt ;) [06:54] jep1985: gotta love LDAP for powerful account management... [06:55] i'm pissed at microsoft anyway with their windows server 08 series [06:55] ls.bat == dir /w/o/p [06:55] you can't do true roaming profiles [06:55] jep1985 i just did upgrade i have no regret but 10.04 LTS is still more safe to go with [06:55] kindlebit: try ctorrent ktorrent aria2 azureus bittornado bitstormlite [06:55] rdw200169 : Universe repositories what is that , how to enable that .. please [06:55] can anyone help me installing postfix please? [06:55] i have an ATI chipset heh [06:55] Hi All [06:56] jmdesigner81: I'm no expert with postfix, but what problem are you having? [06:56] How much disk space takes a Query in OO.o Base 3.2.1? [06:56] greezmunkey: i deleted the directory postfix. [06:57] Am trying to configure Multitouch monitor with Ubuntu 101.10 [06:57] 10.10 [06:57] zacstone: Could it be related to this? http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/290737-33-120hz-displaying-60hz-refresh-rate [06:57] jmdesigner81: is this on a production server, or a hobby machine? [06:57] So anybody can tell me how to enable it [06:57] kindlebit: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager : Settings -> Repositories : Check "Community-maintained Open Source Software (Universe) [06:57] greezmunkey: now i need to get it back but it's giving me an error. i thought by doing sudo apt-get remove postfix then installing later would reinstall it [06:57] greezmunkey: hobby machine [06:57] i can't ssh into my ubuntu computer from my external address. i have the port forwarded. [06:57] Cyrano_De, my monitor is 120hz LCD monitor, not 120hz TV. [06:57] jmdesigner81: its better to purge [06:58] rdw200169 : ;let me try [06:58] rdw200169: purge? [06:58] siji check this page http://tnoergaard.wordpress.com/2009/05/09/ubuntu-touch-screen-setup-and-calibration/ === share is now known as Guest52869 [06:58] ok thanks [06:58] jmdesigner81: sudo apt-get purge postfix [06:58] I'm having trouble with the update manager in version 10.10 is tells me "Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection." Is any1 else having this problem??? [06:58] Anyone to help me ? [06:58] siji i hope it helps you [06:58] I installed the ubuntu over Vista however it isn't showing up as an option to boot into there when i power on the machine VISTA just loads up... Any ideas on how to install the GRUB during the installation [06:58] jmdesigner81: did you apt-get clean, and apt-get purge (package name) ?? [06:58] jmdesigner81: it'll wipe out everything postfix installed or configured giving you a clean slate [06:59] jmdesigner81: I guess those would be reversed. [06:59] rdw200169: ;) [06:59] jmdesigner81: clean doesn't do anything except wipe out cached packages [06:59] greezmunkey so now to reinstall it i do sudo apt-get install postfix correct? [07:00] rdw200169: purged. now need to reinstall. [07:00] jmdesigner81: then, of course, you have to redownload after a clean... [07:00] jmdesigner81: you should still have your config files left once you do that, and reinstall - yes reinstall. [07:00] ubuntunoob: Go into synaptic Under settings->repositories, click on the "Download From" drop down. Select other then click on "select the best server" [07:00] rdw200169: by sudo apt-get install postfix [07:00] greezmunkey: jmdesigner81 if he purged, the configuration files are gone too [07:01] rdw200169: greezmunkey yes they are. [07:01] i was just surfing around and opened gnome-terminal to ssh, but it froze on open and locked down everything, i'm on an asus with ubuntu 10.10, not a huge problem, had to restart though :( [07:01] rdw200169: I stand corrected, thanks! [07:01] rdw200169: i'm reinstalling it. [07:01] rdw200169: thanks appreciate it! [07:01] I'm having trouble with the update manager in version 10.10 is tells me "Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection." Is any1 else having this problem??? [07:01] anybody have any ideas about why i can't ssh to my linux box from an external address? [07:01] jmdesigner81: thankfully postfix isn't too hard to configure! [07:01] jmdesigner81: did it install postfix correctly without errors? [07:02] is it behind a router? [07:02] ndroftheline, did you porforward the ports on your router? [07:02] ubuntunoob: See my previous post [07:02] check to see that port 22 is forwarded to your machine or you have dmz enabled for all web services (no firewall protection) [07:02] jep1985: aeMaeth yes its behind a router and yes i forwarded the ports. i even put the damn thing in dmz. no go. [07:02] ndroftheline: Did you install the openssh-server package? [07:02] hey I have a question about controlling brightness on my laptop [07:02] rdw200169: i believe it did. I got the configuration dialog. [07:02] Cyrano_De: i can ssh to it from a local computer via its local addrss [07:02] ndroftheline: The standard install of Ubuntu desktop does not install the server portion. [07:03] jmdesigner81: very nice sir, now be careful with your postfix, and keep out the crazy spammers! [07:03] Hello - I'm trying to configure LAMP server on my ubuntu 10.04 OS. However, during the mySQL install, the system hasn't prompt me to enter root password. But, all the articles on the web shows it prompts for pasword. What could be the MYSQL password now ? :( [07:03] rdw200169 :thanks , let me try now to install torrent downloader [07:03] hi, how do i get the grub prompt in vmware? [07:03] greezmunkey: i couldnt get postfix to work properly. trying to send out newsletter with php mail() function and it was working. going to try again. [07:03] the grub screen i mean [07:03] in a virtual machine? [07:03] Cyrano_De: ok. but i can ssh into it from a local system [07:03] rdw200169: isn't SMTP relay turned off by default in postfix? [07:03] yes [07:03] in a virtual machine [07:04] grub2 or grub-legacy? === frobisher is now known as cassarole [07:04] grub2 [07:04] rdw200169: Thanks! all i need is to send newsletter that's all. postfix is supposed to be faster than sendmail. [07:04] greezmunkey: haha, i have no idea.. i find its easier to just use GoogleApps for my e-mail needs... [07:04] my vmware ubuntu install is messed up [07:04] Curator: Try hitting the escape button when it is first booting. [07:04] i need to boot into safe mode [07:04] try hitting the esc button a lot [07:04] lol [07:04] i'm not sure how to edit grub.conf to change the timeout.. [07:04] Grub2 is the biggest mistake Canonical has made IMO. [07:04] jmdesigner81: you will have to verify that postfix is properly sending and recieving mail first, cehck configs, tweak, repeat... [07:05] Hello folks, what is the update-alternatives string to get your jre [07:05] ok so i can' t ssh into my box from my external ip, but i CAN ssh into it via its local address. i have the ports forarded and i've even tried to put it in dmz. any suggestions? [07:05] to set your jre* [07:05] you're supposed to hold shift [07:05] Nikkk: don't worry too much about it, you can change it later [07:05] Putting undocumented beta software in a LTS release was just stupid. [07:05] ummm [07:05] i hit the esc button [07:05] it only gives me the bios boot options [07:05] do you have a firewall running on your ubuntu box ndroftheline? [07:05] greezmunkey: will do sir. [07:05] how can I control the brightness of my laptop LCD in Lucid? [07:05] select the hd and mash esc [07:05] jep1985: i haven't installed one. does it happen by default? [07:06] i don't believe so [07:06] Curator: hold shift as the system boots [07:06] jep1985: how can i check? [07:06] uh [07:06] you can try netstat -l in a terminal [07:07] see if anything is listening on port 22 [07:07] you can also try sudo service ssh restart [07:07] iraiyasu: My laptop fn keys work for me. Otherwise add the "Brightness" app to your gnome panel [07:07] ok [07:07] thanks [07:07] and how do i boot into safe mode, qiescens? [07:07] err [07:07] quiescens [07:07] sudo service openssh-server restart [07:07] ndroftheline: but, if you can access ssh from the local network, 192.168.0.0/24 or whatever, you problem probably lies in the router somewhere... that or your ISP is blocking 22 from somewhere in their systems [07:08] iraiyasu check this https://groups.google.com/group/sjslug/msg/0e96d070a630821c [07:08] cyrano it doesn't work, that's why I'm here, I'm able to change it through the term, but it doesn't stay when I restart [07:08] Does anyone know how to set the sunjre as the default instead of the open one [07:08] ndroftheline: You can change the local port as well, if you need to [07:08] Im having issues with the open one [07:08] rdw200169: i've talked to my isp, it's not blocked there [07:08] iraiyasu you can make script and then ad it tyour startup apps [07:09] I cant figure out how to set the defaults. [07:09] ndroftheline: make absolute sure you're using the *right* external IP address, especially if your Internet comes from DSL and PPPoE etc... they use several IP's that seem external, when one of them is the actual 'external' ip [07:09] rdw200169: and i have the damned ports forwarded. i even put it in the dmz. [07:09] iraiyasu: Your bios have any brightness settings? [07:09] Curator: I don't know what you're trying to fix, are you just trying to boot to text mode? [07:09] Phoul: I always un install the open-jdk [07:09] god, my install is just totally ruined [07:09] ndroftheline have you tried using dynamic dns, i.e. dyndns.org? [07:09] i might just start from scratch [07:09] well i think Curator is trying to boot into rescue mode [07:10] ha ha [07:10] ndroftheline: this in a terminal will give you your external IP: wget -q -O- http://whatismyip.org/ [07:10] i accidentally edited the grub boot options, and now i'm stuck in a busybox [07:10] i give up [07:10] matrix, I have folowed that doc [07:10] I'd love to line up every Java developer and kick them all in the balls.....twice [07:10] jep1985: well no, but i don't need a dns reference. i have my external ip address. [07:10] ndroftheline: you could even consider putting your modem in a switch mode to bypass the router features, thereby removing that obvious obstacle... i used to do that with Embarq DSL [07:10] But it seems like my hardware is not detected [07:10] siji ok did it help you [07:10] i use it with my router to connect to my IP [07:10] Flamming pile of unsuportable dung that crap is... [07:10] ok i see [07:10] i have a dynamic IP with my ISP [07:10] Am using Accer T231H [07:10] what should I choose for the Bootloader ?? should it be installed on SDA or sda5,sda6 which is the partions for linux including the swap file area [07:10] rdw200169: i'm not using my modem's router function. it's a satellite connection and it's a very basic modem. [07:10] USB [07:10] I am having problem with my Xchat client ... it seems to be struck for some moment and throws a bulk of converstion at one go ... any reasons [07:10] Cyrano I'm not sure [07:11] I'll Check [07:11] thanks [07:11] siji i am sorry about that would like to help [07:11] ndroftheline: good luck with satellite. i've never encountered a satellite ISP that actually provided a useable external IP... especially those ******* over at HughesNet [07:11] lea123, you can install GRUB to SDA [07:11] jep1985: yes, i have a dynamic too but i use a router so it hasn't changed in weeks. months, even. [07:11] As per the doc i have tail the usb , but it's not showing anything [07:11] matrix, ok [07:11] it will install it to your MBR [07:11] os:ubuntu 9.04 ,asus x50n,ata5:SRST failed errno=-16 [07:12] rdw200169: how can one or another IP be more or less useable? [07:12] ndroftheline: did you verify it with the command I gave you? [07:12] os:ubuntu 9.04 ,asus x50n,ata5:SRST failed errno=-16 [07:12] siji did you do a lsusb [07:12] greezmunkey: not with that command but i've used whatismyipaddress, and canyouseeme.org [07:12] yes [07:12] and does it recognize anything [07:12] it's showing there i guess [07:12] ndroftheline: trust me... those satellite people are crazy and downright evil. i will no longer discuss this matter considering the fact that you are using satellite internet. this is for my sanity's sake. trust me. [07:13] Bus 006 Device 006: ID 0408:3001 Quanta Computer, Inc. Optical Touch Screen [07:13] siji thats good news [07:13] rdw200169: Heh === denysonique_ is now known as denysonique [07:13] rdw200169: lol ok. i can move the server to my dad's house, i guess. thats good advice though, thank you. [07:13] siji then it should be possible to get it to work [07:13] jep1985 Do you mean to say its a mistake to install on the SDA5 where drive was partioned to install Linux and that is the reason why it isn't giving me an option to boot into linux [07:13] matrix, any idea how to [07:14] Btw , touch screen is working [07:14] sorry i do not know enough about it [07:14] Only multitouch need to enable [07:14] matrix, ok [07:14] no [07:14] ndroftheline: Do you have a second pc that you can network in place of your internet connection (pointing at the server) that you can test an inbound ssh request? [07:14] rdw200169 :now, while using sudo apt-get install qbittorrent deluge rtorrent i get an error "E Broken package " from to find this now ? [07:14] ndroftheline: i once spent over 16 hours of time, total, arguing with a satellite provider i was paying over $4500 / mo. about how they were throttling our bandwidth, specifically, so that i could manage our bandwidth usage accordingly. they preferred me to be confused, so they could throttle me endlessly... [07:14] i'm saying if you install on SDA (the master boot record) that you will have the option to boot ubuntu or windows [07:14] greezmunkey: i can ssh into it from inside my network [07:14] rdw200169 :now, while using sudo apt-get install qbittorrent deluge rtorrent i get an error "E Broken package " from to find this now ? [07:14] to restore the windows vista bootloader, google EasyBCD [07:15] why are you installing all 3? [07:15] greezmunkey: is that what you mean? [07:15] have you tried Transmission? [07:15] jep1985 good advice [07:15] !transmission [07:15] rdw200169: lol nice [07:15] !info transmission [07:15] transmission (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.04-0ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB [07:15] kindlebit: i don't know, its possible that there are packages you can't install because the other repositories are unavailable [07:16] ndroftheline: The thinking there is to verify the Internet connection on your server. Easy to do, just put a machine there and ssh back to your server. It should work as well. [07:16] Im stting up an ubuntu SE with samba server shaer [07:16] share [07:16] greezmunkey: boy, i'm sorry. i'm misunderstanding what you mean. i have an extra computer. what do you want me to do with it? [07:17] where to look for development pages of volume control app in ubuntu? [07:17] greezmunkey: postfix is working pretty well except that it doesnt send email to hotmail adresses [07:17] greezmunkey: "put a machine there" - where? [07:17] ndroftheline: in the end, thoough, i figured out how to keep tc/ip/iptables/brtables/etc... working such that internet worked reliably over satellite... no thanks to those jerks on the other end though, with their endlessly overfilling bucket of pain and suffering (they scraped off the most needed bits first of course>>>) [07:17] siji i think it should be possible to ad your touch screen [07:17] rdw200169 :than how to overcome this ? [07:17] can't get the windows machine to get write access [07:17] ndroftheline, you can access the internet from the server right? [07:17] * ZanQdo wonders why [07:17] but you probally have to search for more information [07:17] rdw200169: loll well if you had the godly grace to write a howto on all that i'd love to read it someday [07:17] ok [07:17] jep1985: yes, yes i can [07:17] ps -e | grep dnsmasq [07:18] [07:18] and also ps -e | grep iptables [07:18] kindlebit: its probably that all your repository sources are not enabled, which causes ubuntu to look for dependencies that are not available... you need to go back to Synaptic and enable all the repositories... [07:18] !repositories > kindlebit [07:18] kindlebit, please see my private message [07:18] rdw200169 : do i need to enable all repositories or what ? [07:18] ndroftheline: Nevermind, it's probably more work than it's worth. [07:18] matrix, thanks alot [07:18] sudo apt-get development pages for volume control app please........... [07:19] jmdesigner81: That's good news! [07:19] rdw200169 : ok thanks [07:19] siji no problem at all just wish i could be more help for you [07:19] ndroftheline: but, you *can* run a SSH reverse tunnel and run a proxy from a location external to the satellite connection thereby reliably offering a connection [07:19] greezmunkey: yup. thanks. [07:19] jmdesigner81: did it send to hotmail before? [07:19] rdw200169: hey! reverse ssh tunnel! i read an article on that earlier today [07:19] i'm pretty sure it did. i'm looking into the logs now. [07:20] so i ssh into another system somewhere else and then ssh to THAT somewhere else to connect to my server right [07:20] lol [07:20] what a pita [07:20] matrix, am exploring more , will share here if I got the solution [07:20] ndroftheline: then, from the external server, you can run a sort of SSH proxy [07:20] siji that is good i am sure many are looking to do the same [07:20] sure will do [07:20] ada pongada ... [07:21] siji you have a good night good luck [07:21] gn too [07:21] ndroftheline: It's really not that bad... :) [07:21] ndroftheline: Heh, stupid network tricks! [07:21] hello, I have a pulseaudio question. I am running 10.04, I can play music and hear sounds fine, but the volume meter for "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" doesn't show any movement indicating that sound is coming out of the speakers (despite the fact that I can hear it). Any suggestions? [07:21] good night everyone [07:21] greezmunkey: well i'm willing to do it [07:21] greezmunkey: i just don't have a server elsewhere ready to handle it [07:22] greezmunkey: i have an ancient thinkpad, i can install THAt at my dad's and use IT for my ssh tunnel [07:22] greezmunkey: ndroftheline yeah, no kidding, when i used to provide linux server support, i would have them receive a script over the internets which had the public key they needed for reverse ssh access back to me so i could log into their system and help them [07:22] it doesn't take much oomph to run a tunnel right [07:22] can i use a 200mhz thinkpad from the 80's? lol [07:22] ndroftheline: sure, why not. I set one up at my office once, came home and tied this end in, it worked untill I tore it down. Neat experiment. [07:23] you should be able to lol [07:23] ndroftheline: piece of cake. and, you can even write simple scripts that will attempt to create the tunnel whenever you want, cron fun [07:23] i suggest a minimal command line install [07:23] does anybody know about pulseaudio? [07:23] pbrook1: whats the problem? [07:23] jep oh hell yeah minimal install [07:23] I am running 10.04, I can play music and hear sounds fine, but the volume meter for "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" doesn't show any movement indicating that sound is coming out of the speakers (despite the fact that I can hear it). Any suggestions? [07:23] rdw200169: yeah, I was able to X forward over it once I had it up and running...pretty cool stuff. [07:23] wow sick i effin love ubuntu! [07:23] and linux! [07:23] gnu too! [07:24] and all you guys rock [07:24] lol [07:24] ndroftheline: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] ok i'm goign to install the server on this ancient thinkpad [07:24] laterz [07:24] I want to visualize my music but all of the viaualizers monitor the pulseaudio sinks and the pulseaudio sink monitor is saying that there is no sound === administrador is now known as Funker [07:24] Just when I was reaching for my rubber boots too... [07:25] hola buenas noches [07:25] Hi guys, having an issue with slow i/o disk speeds. 3d effects (compiz) are lightning quick and as long as an request doesn't involve disk access it's normal. Decompression and removing and installing software is abysmally slow. [07:26] Like pre 486 slow. [07:26] pbrook1: you can use the paman pavucontrol padevchooser paprefs apps to get the panel applet for pulse audio that is most closely related to the development of the project [07:26] surt: check your disk with palimset, or some other utility. [07:26] surt: could the hard drive be failing? [07:26] pbrook1: Just watched a tv show on the computer with mplayer. No slowdown at all. [07:27] pbrook1: It seems very selective. [07:27] rdw200169: I am looking at the pavucontrol applet, and it is indicating that no sound is coming out of rhythmbox, despite the fact that there is sound coming out [07:27] pbrook1: i find that pavucontrol, the piece of the applet that controls volume(s) works the best out of all the different ways of controlling PulseAudio [07:27] greezmunkey: it doesn't send email to hotmail address. weird. [07:28] jmdesigner81: are you sending from a known domain, er known in public DNS? [07:28] jmdesigner81: you have to make sure that your postfix is sending all the correct stuff... hotmail is probably spamming it [07:28] rdw200169: I can change the volume slider to adjust the volume I hear, but it still doesn't indicate that any sound is coming out. I already tried restarting and logging out/in again [07:28] greezmunkey: What is the synatx you suggest to check the disk? [07:28] How can i use dyndns with ubuntu and send emails from it [07:28] greezmunkey: i'm sending from my home server... so not a fixed ip. [07:28] rdw200169: what do you mean by sending the correct stuff? [07:29] pbrook1: hmm.. i don't know what to say, are you having issues with the operation of pulseaudio? is it causing sound problems, or is your issue primarily visual? [07:29] !info ddclient [07:29] ddclient (source: ddclient): address updating utility for dynamic DNS services. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.8.0-11.1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 71 kB, installed size 372 kB [07:29] karthick87: do u have a dyndns acount? [07:29] yes i have [07:29] !info Inadyn [07:29] Package Inadyn does not exist in maverick [07:29] surt: go to system/administration/disk utility and browse around in there - check your drives there first. [07:29] did u install dyndns for ubuntu? [07:29] those are clients to update your IP with dyndns [07:30] is it possible to list all files that are owned by a specific user (across the whole filesystem)? [07:30] then you need to make sure that (preferably) your router is setup properly with your hostname and such [07:30] greezmunkey: Do you know the terminal command? I use xubuntu. [07:30] the WHOLE hostname.. i.e. yourhost.dyndns.org [07:30] rdw200169: I can hear sound fine, but I want to use music visualization software (projectM, Impulse, etc) that hooks into pulseaudio and provides visualizations. None of those work since pulseaudio doesn't seem to think that the streams have any sound (even though they are playing) [07:30] Got some grub questions .. I installed XP, Gentoo then Ubuntu (knowing Ubuntu handles other OS's well when it comes to grub). But still I get "Error: File not found" when grub attempts Gentoo. Help? [07:30] jmdesigner81: most e-mail providers are *QUICK* to mark a message as spam... there are many requirements nowadays for what a e-mail must provide in the header to prevent this auto-spamming [07:30] surt: you can use fsck, but you'll have to restart to do that I believe. [07:31] NineTeen i'll bet it has something to do with Grub2 [07:31] check to see if Grub2 is supported with gentoo yet [07:31] greezmunkey: What is the binary name? [07:31] karthick87: check this out http://bobbyallen.wordpress.com/2008/05/18/dyndns-client-setup-on-ubuntu/ [07:31] jep1985: that's what I was worried about .. the menu.lst (grub.conf) might not play nice .. [07:31] greezmunkey: Of the application you recommend I check out... [07:31] surt: I'll dig that up, ... fsck - FileSystemChecKer [07:31] Grub2 = the devil [07:31] i'd rather use lilo [07:31] rdw200169: gotcha. [07:32] rdw200169: the logs should say something. i hope. [07:32] but i always install grub-legacy on my ubuntu machines.. ubuntu is the ONLY mainstream distro using Grub2 ffs.. [07:32] jep1985: yeah so far not a fan of grub2 .. more difficult to edit .. [07:32] its insane, you almost need a gui =P [07:32] lol true [07:32] pbrook1: well, you're probably encountering an issue with pulseaudio, which leaves you with 2-3 choices: 1) install pulseaudio from a PPA / pulseaudio.org development source 2) upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 and see if that works 3) upgrade to 10.10 and run development version of pulseaudio [07:32] NineTeen67Comet: you can install to gentoo boot loader in the gentoo partition and chainload it from the ubuntu grub2 that you have in the MBR [07:32] sudo apt-get autoremove grub-pc; sudo apt-get install grub-legacy [07:32] hey [07:32] i'm stuck at busybox [07:32] in ubuntu [07:32] greezmunkey: I know what fsck is, but I just need the first app you recommended. I think If I knew how to fully operate fsck I probably wouldn't be here ;-) [07:32] how do i fix tihs? [07:33] i didn't even consider chainloading [07:33] pbrook1: its highly likely that there is a bug and that it had been (hopefull) resolved in a later version... [07:33] alkisg: I "understand" what you are mentioning; but have no clue how to do it .. (I'm assuming XP is chainloaded as well) [07:33] does 10.10 server distro come with same default GUI as desktop distro? [07:33] rdw: Thanks, I'll try that [07:33] DuckMaestro: Server edition is CLI only .. [07:33] NineTeen67Comet: but it's probably a path error in your grub.cfg... did you run "sudo update-grub"? what's the entry for gentoo, and how would gentoo write it instead? [07:33] surt, FYI, any time you have a question about a linux command, google "man command", you'll generally find the man pages ;) [07:33] surt: check out that last post here: http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/588130-ubuntu-9-10-failing-hard-disk.html [07:34] rdw: It used to work months ago, but perhaps some update broke it [07:34] pbrook1: back on 9.04, i was running a much older version of PA than the one it came with for years so i didn't have to upgrade to 9.10, etc.. ;) [07:34] NineTeen67Comet: ty [07:34] pbrook1: by older, i mean newer/development [07:34] alkisg: it is grub-install I beleive, but it doesn't write anything .. you have to manually write all the config files (part of the reason i've put gentoo on my back burner now that I need to use my computer instead of play with it .. [07:34] surt try this touch /forcefsck. shutdown -r now [07:34] i learn a lot every day by googleing man pages hehe [07:34] pfft Gentoo is easy =P [07:35] does anyone know how to reload the ndiswrapper? sometimes my wireless just quits, I've got allot of invalid commands on the ndiswrapper from dmesg [07:35] jep1985: i wish there was better documentation for tc... but good luck finding anything that makes sense on that... [07:35] just takes forever to do ANYTHING because you compile every little tiny bit of the OS [07:35] * NineTeen67Comet I <3 gentoo .. Just haven't the time anymore .. [07:35] the package management is based off of ports on BSD [07:35] jep1985: i *get* it now, but i think i'm the only one (well, me and that russian mad-man that wrote it) [07:35] i don't think i've had to use tc thankfully [07:35] surt check this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ [07:35] jep1985: have you ever played with LFS? That's my next journy when time allowes .. [07:35] i have [07:35] NineTeen67Comet: e.g. maybe gentoo doesn't like grub using UUIDs? You can easily change that in the grub configuration [07:35] but got bored [07:36] hehe ;) [07:36] jep1985: to me, who likes routers, i find that tc is the most powerful application available for linux... but thats just em [07:36] alkisg: true .. I did change the fstab in the Gentoo install to /dev instead of using any UID .. maybe I need to make that change in my Ubuntu install too .. [07:36] Alright. Will try it now. Thanks people. [07:36] what's tc? [07:37] NineTeen no [07:37] matrix: I knew there was a way to do that - force fsck on restart, but couldn't locate the command, thanks! [07:37] all UUID does is let you mount it wherever it happens to be places [07:37] jep1985: traffic control, its part of the iproute2 package, hardcore networking/routing/traffic_control from the command line [07:37] if you put that HD in another computer, the UUID stays the same however your /dev/sd* may be different [07:37] Greezmunkey no problem [07:37] thats the nutshell [07:37] jep1985: no: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic-pae root=UUID=8f63ffbf-d647-4013-ba70-7e8da586aeac ro quiet splash [07:38] matrix: Doesn't that file have to be in a specific location - I remember reading about it a few months ago... [07:38] jep1985: if the gentoo kernel can't understand the UUID parameter, it won't find the initrd [07:38] so you'd change that root=UUID to root=/dev/sdX [07:38] alkisg: Thinkin' only the Gentoo fstab needs an edit. If I mess with the one here in Ubuntu it'll think that /dev/sda5 is it's root and not Gentoo's .. lol .. [07:38] Thanks for the help all .. probably should ask this stuff in #gentoo .. [07:38] the disk will remain the same in fdisk [07:38] no just do it anywhere [07:38] jep1985, NineTeen67Comet, so you'd need to edit /etc/default/grub and tell it to not use uuids, if that's the problem [07:38] @rdw200169 - Hey, but, what wud be the password as default coz, phpMyAdmin installation is prompting me to enter the root password for mySql..but, i donno :( [07:39] matrix: alright, that command will put it on the root...I get it... [07:39] jep1985: might be .. I can mess with it .. I know the old way better anyhow .. :) [07:39] Nikk: when you installed mysql, it asked you to put ina password [07:39] that's your root password, generally [07:39] NineTeen67Comet: on kernel upgrades, update-grub is called, so it would still write root=uuid in your gentoo line, unless you modify your grub configuration [07:39] guys [07:39] if you don't remember, you could try dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server, that *used* to work [07:39] how do i get out of busybox?? [07:40] greezmunkey what are you working on [07:40] @Jep1985 - That's the question, it hasn't prompted for root password during the installation of mySQL [07:40] jep1985: (and it's a ***** to rescue it if you forget it, I found that out) [07:40] "quit" or "exit" Curator [07:40] alkisg: thanks .. I'll watch for that too .. Off to tinker .. thanks again all .. [07:40] rather [07:40] how do i get into normal boot [07:40] jep1985: no no, she mentioned earlier that it didn't ask during the install [07:40] i was dumb and went into grub [07:40] Curator: init 5 [07:40] and somehow messed it up [07:40] Do anyone know..?How to add information to Factoids database..? [07:40] ah [07:40] shutting up now ;) [07:41] anyone know howto reload a module? [07:41] Curator: escape doesn't get you out? [07:41] matrix: not me, surt is having "unexplained" slowdowns on his drive - first step to troubleshoot is to verify the disk - that was for him/her. [07:41] @jep1985 - can you please let me know how can i check if mySQL is installed or not ? [07:41] greezmunkey yes ok [07:41] Nikkk: actually the easiest way to rectify this problem is: purge mysql-server then reinstall it... it should re-do the configuation process [07:42] Curator: Most changes you make at the grub boot menu are not permanent. [07:42] Nikkk: you just want a brand new mysql server, so: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server && sudo apt-get install mysql-server [07:42] @rdw200169 - I tried that as well. However, it's not prompting for password whatsoever.. [07:42] hi all, what package need i have to install to get firefox run java web applications? [07:42] monday_: modprobe -r module; modprobe module [07:42] greezmunkey surt means sour in my language hope that things get less sour for him here [07:42] did you try purging it? [07:42] i.e. apt-get purge mysql-server [07:43] ok [07:43] matrix: French? [07:43] i get a kernel panic [07:43] using apt-get purge removes package and all configuration files [07:43] if i try to boot [07:43] jep1985: is that to remove it? [07:43] Curator, probably be quicker to start from scratch [07:43] greezmunkey no danish [07:43] Nikkk: yeah, if you apt-get remove it will just remove everything but the configuration... which leaves behind the problem you have right now [07:43] and use snapshots!!! thats why they're there, in case you muck up!! [07:43] well [07:43] jep1985: I didn't try to purge it I just want to re-load it. I get an error with ndiswrapper. [07:43] matrix: My appologies - stupid American. [07:43] people say are u finish i say no i am danish [07:43] monday, to remove the module, "sudo modprobe -r modulename" [07:43] i just tried to "start from scratch" with virtualbox this time [07:43] but virtualbox is not detecting my resolution [07:43] for some bizarre reason [07:43] to reload the module, "sudo modprobe modulename" [07:43] i'm stuck at 800x600 [07:44] Curator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:44] americans eat danish [07:44] and i'm not going to troubleshoot that all day [07:44] jep1985: Thanx I'll give it a try. [07:44] may kill my net [07:44] @rwd200169 - all right ! I'll give it another shot ! oh! now i get it...I did just remove :P [07:44] Curator: Did you install the guest additions? === techhelper1 is now known as techhelper1|AFK [07:45] where do i do that? [07:45] Nikkk: come back and let us know how it went [07:45] yeah Nikkk removing it just removes the packages and installed files, but not the configuration files [07:45] Look in the menu. It mounts a cd that you install them from [07:45] matrix: I sent Network Solutions a request to reboot the Internet...still waiting. === codered is now known as colobrizi [07:46] ummmmm [07:46] what menu? [07:46] can i still install default gui if i use the alternate package? [07:46] The virtualbox menu. Under 'Machine', I think [07:46] jep1985: restarted the network. ! I love it! [07:47] somewhere near the bottom it should say "Insert guest additions iso" [07:47] there's "new" "settings" etc. [07:47] jep1985: thank you [07:47] @rdw200169 - Sure ! Right now, I'm updating the files...Once, it's done..I'll be purge.. [07:47] you're welcome monday_ [07:47] but [07:47] in the future [07:47] how do i do to install java + firefox plugin? [07:47] @jep1985 - Thanks a lot for the info :D will get back to you soon... [07:47] to restart your network, /etc/init.d/networking restart or /etc/init.d/network-manager restart [07:48] "oracle" java is no longer supported in ubuntu :( [07:48] jep1985: I tried that but wireless wouldn't work. [07:48] odd [07:48] I have to use ndis for the drivers. [07:48] i'm very lucky that my wireless has no problems with ubuntu [07:48] Curator: Well, you can just mount the guest additions cd image yourself (from the settings, the image is included with virtualbox) [07:48] jep1985: something is wrong with the ndiswrapper. [07:48] wait i found it [07:48] jep1985: I just loaded updates and its been acting up. [07:48] ahh [07:48] monday_: Are you using Network Manager? [07:49] greezmunkey: yeah [07:49] ugh i wish that someone would spike virt-manager to be a debian project [07:49] monday_: Have you tried disabling your wireless adapter, then re-enabling it? [07:49] is there a 3d benchmark application for ubuntu ? [07:49] hello [07:50] to test capabilities of graphics card [07:50] greezmunkey: tried that no good [07:50] greezmunkey: dmesg showed a lot of errors with the ndiswrapper. [07:50] greezmunkey: invalid command not recognized [07:51] monday_: yikes, ndiswrapper bytes. You may need to check the hardware support page, and pick up a differant adapter. [07:51] greezmunkey: I know those are hard to find. [07:51] !info 3dmark [07:51] Package 3dmark does not exist in maverick [07:51] monday_: not so much... [07:51] feh [07:52] how do i get a shell script to automatically be opened with terminal? [07:52] greezmunkey: I can't find any at FRYS last time I was there. [07:52] greezmunkey: up until now ndis has been ok but I can't do the cool stuff with the card that I want to. [07:53] monday_: order on line, have it shiopped to you. Fry's usually sells "B" rated gear anyway, you'll get more for your money shopping around. [07:53] panther-pnthrnet: Check out this article; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=274157 [07:53] can i still install a GUI from the Alternate distro? [07:53] greezmunkey: I'm finding that out. I hate it that allot of their stuff doesn't support my fav OS. [07:53] monday_: yeah, or microcenter, thats what we get in the North East [07:54] DuckMaestro: the ubuntu alternate install CD installs the same thing you get from the live-cd it's just in a text mode installer [07:55] i use newegg.... http://www.newegg.com [07:55] jep1985: so after it finishes the install it should attempt to load the gui on its own? [07:55] is FloodBot2 a bot [07:55] DuckMaestro : yes [07:55] betts: yes [07:55] jep1985: ty [07:56] DuckMaestro: the alternates CD is used primarily when either: you know exactly what you're doing and don't wnat to deal with the live cd wasting your time with pretty windows or 2) there is some problem with the live cd loading correctly and you have to install from the alternates cd... regardless, its the same thing that ends up on the drive [07:56] rdw200169: ty. yea regular package isnt working on latest gen mac mini. i got the server package installed but didnt realize it lacks a gui. going to try again now with the alternate package [07:56] monday_: start here: http://www.linux-drivers.org/index.html, or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [07:57] DuckMaestro: live cd = Desktop CD = default download option on ubuntu.com = pretty desktop with Install icon [07:57] DuckMaestro: you could take a shot and just install ubuntu-desktop from the ubuntu-server installation [07:57] Will running "sudo grub-update" from a live CD update configurations on an unrelated mounted drive? [07:57] DuckMaestro: they aren't *that* different... if i'm not mistaken, it should just be a different kernel, but that's easy enough to rectify [07:58] greezmunkey: thanx a lot [07:58] tx23.. probably safer to do it the long way [07:58] jep1985: what's that? [07:58] type sudo grub to get to grub command prompt [07:58] DuckMaestro: you shouldn't have to re-install, just take a shot with tasksel and pick "Ubuntu desktop" along with whatever else you would want [07:58] monday_: I beat my head to a pulp, and finally took the advice I gave you. I'm much happier now... [07:58] jep1985: let me explain the problem [07:59] tx23: To run update-grub you need to chroot into the system whose grub.cfg you're trying to update first. [07:59] DuckMaestro: that should install all the graphical stuff your heart desires and probably some stuff you don't want too [07:59] then root (hdx,x), then setup (hd0) [07:59] and then update-grub it [07:59] oh yeah Grub2 .. bleh [07:59] Hello people! I want to know where my mic is located in ubuntu. I want to know this because in GTK-RecordMyDesktop just creates plain noise when I hit record. How do I know where the mic is? Thank You! [07:59] jep1985: That wouldn't work with grub legacy either. [07:59] rdw200169: should tasksel work straight from the command line after im logged in? (still relatively new to linux) [07:59] it should [08:00] DuckMaestro: yuppo [08:00] no matter what version you use [08:00] xubuntu, alternate, server, liveCD [08:00] DuckMaestro: just: sudo tasksel [08:00] @jep1985@rdw200169 - It hasn't prompted for root password again. :( can you gimme the link where i can upload the output ? [08:00] rdw200169: thx. will give that a go... probably better that i try that first because of the kernel too. one theory i read is that latest gen mini needs the server kernel of 10.10 at the moment. [08:00] it's http://www.pastebin.com [08:01] jep1985: sorry, disconnected [08:01] jep1985: here's the deal [08:02] I'm trying to set up Larch andthe install script is failing with "/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory". How can I get around this short of setting up a symlink? [08:02] Nikkk: well, you could take a shot with "mysql -u root -p" and try your main User's password... dirty but it might just work [08:02] Hello people! I want to know where my mic is located in ubuntu. I want to know this because in GTK-RecordMyDesktop just creates plain noise when I hit record. How do I know where the mic is? Thank You! [08:02] jep1985: I made a fresh Ubuntu install on this older computer that uses D-SUB output [08:02] jep1985: consequently, I can only get a video feed when I use the "nomodeset" parameter at boot [08:02] aaron11: where it physically is? [08:02] @rdw200169 @jep1985 - http://pastebin.com/g6DqXSb3 [08:02] jep1985: while I can do this on the livecd, I see no way to do it on the fresh installation [08:02] StuartPB, no. Like /dev/dsp [08:02] DuckMaestro: doesn't matter, after reboot grub should offer both the server and desktop kernel for you [08:03] jep1985: fresh install boots straight into a black hole [08:03] thank u guys u were very helpfull :) [08:03] jep1985: still here, that quit msg was my old client dcing [08:04] tx23_: Hold shift to get to the grub menu at boot. [08:04] Jordan_U: testing now [08:04] tx23_: after it boots try Ctrl+Alt+F1, do you get a login prompt? [08:04] i don't know what to tell you to change in grub2.. in grub-legacy you could just edit the menu.lst entry [08:04] !grub2 [08:04] 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 [08:04] ugh i twitch every time it asks me if i want to install grub2 or legacy [08:04] In grub2 - /etc/default/grub or one of the /etc/grub.d/files [08:04] need to learn to do my own preseed files [08:05] @rdw200169 - Take a look at the output and let me know if i must proceed with your last suggestion..http://pastebin.com/g6DqXSb3 [08:05] Grub2 isent that hard to learn. [08:05] Can someone tell me the directory where the "c header" files are located on v. 10.10? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [08:05] !ubuntu [08:05] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [08:05] should there be any processes started by user root in ubuntu? [08:05] I'm having trouble accessing grub on boot, I hold down SHIFT but it doesn't work [08:05] Nikkk: well, the purge and install seem to have gone well, no issues there [08:05] texashale1: the kernel headers? [08:05] seidos: what u mean [08:05] Nikkk: that obviously didn't help though, so its time dig a little more and get dirty with mysql [08:06] seidos; init? [08:06] I think so, but it is asking for the directory for the c header files. don't really know what that means... :-) [08:06] Nikkk: so you can try $ mysql -u root -p ;;;;; this will attempt to login as root@localhost and ask for a password [08:06] map7_: so does it boot to ubuntu by default? or what exactly? [08:06] texashale1: what are you trying to do [08:07] petan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/531073/ [08:07] @rdw200169 - Yep, i did..n here is the output :'( http://pastebin.com/zDiWwqXp [08:07] Nikkk: try your 'favorite' password and some random spacebar stuff to see if you can get in [08:07] Dr_Willis: I just tried to update to Ubuntu 10.10 and now it boots up to a blank screen and I cannot access any terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 [08:07] Nikkk: see if you can get in w/out password: mysql -u root [08:07] I'm trying to set up Larch and the install script is failing with "/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory". How can I get around this short of setting up a symlink? [08:07] so I'm trying to get to the grub menu to see what I can do there [08:07] map7_: so the update failed? or did it say it succeded? [08:07] Hello people! I want to know where my mic is located in ubuntu. I want to know this because in GTK-RecordMyDesktop just creates plain noise when I hit record. How do I know where the mic is? Thank You! [08:07] seidos: that is ok, it is part of pam login, domain subsystem [08:07] I am using vmware player (first time) and installed ubuntu in it and now trying to install the vmware tools. [08:08] seidos: allow you to login to win domain [08:08] try apt-get purging again [08:08] reboot [08:08] map7_: so what do you see on the screen? You see the plymouth screen? or just a blkinking cursor? or what exactly? [08:08] reinstall mysql-server after reboot [08:08] petan, hmmm. [08:08] It said it updated sucessfully but there was one bad package, but that was mythexport so I just removed that as I don't really need it [08:08] maybe something loaded in memory that isn't completely purging the configs [08:08] rdw200169: It says "access denied for your 'root@'localshot'(using password:No)" [08:08] Dr_Willis: I boot and see Ubuntu and the progress dots, then it's just a blank screen, no cursor, nothing [08:09] @jep1985 - All right jep ! I'll do that.. [08:09] texashale1: vmware player should offer to do that on its own... [08:09] I've tried plugging in an external screen to my notebook and the same thing happens [08:09] petan, what about: /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1 [08:09] Nikkk: yeah, try what jep1985 said ;) [08:10] texashale1: and even then I would expect something like that to have a debian package [08:10] can't hurt =/ [08:10] lol [08:10] seidos: that is tty1 [08:10] I've updated this machine in the past without problems from 810 to 904 to 910 [08:10] map7_: that sounds like a video type issue. The shift or esc key should get you to a grub menu. I always disable that 'hide grub by default feature'. If you have a live cd/usb - you could boot that. chroot in, and perhaps change the grub menu settings to disable the hiddenmenu feature. [08:10] seidos: terminal you can access byt pressing alt ctrl f1 [08:10] greezemunkey, The process it is putting me thru is to go thru all of this as sudo in a terminal. [08:10] Jordan_U: thank you so much, that worked for me [08:10] Dr_Willis: I think I'll have to do the latter [08:11] seidos: you can go back to x system by pressing alt+ f7 or another f [08:11] petan, i see. didn't know that was the process. [08:11] hello [08:11] map7_: so you have upgraded this machine throuigh 3 different releases then. Thats impressive it worked :) [08:11] Hi guys no issues updating for installing anymore. But extraction still brings the system to a crawl which I can't escape unless I reboot. Any ideas on why extraction would drop i/o speeds to almost a halt anyone? [08:11] I'm trying to set up Larch and the install script is failing with "/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory". How can I get around this short of setting up a symlink? [08:11] Dr_Willis: my /home has been through at least 5 upgrades... [08:11] Dr_Willis: well each upgrade was 6months apart [08:12] StuartPB do you have python installed? [08:12] sudo apt-get install python2.6 [08:12] jep1985: yep, and python2.6 [08:12] python is part of the default install [08:12] oh oh it is serious [08:12] software center wouldnt work without it, i dont think [08:12] there's no python2 is the thing [08:12] maco: /home/ dosent matter much :) its the other bits that are the problems. [08:13] it's at python2.6 [08:13] but the larch script is looking for python2 [08:13] Dr_Willis: i also tend to backup and overwrite /etc in the event of a reinstall... [08:13] << nor kde [08:13] maco: Why /etc ? [08:13] i use fluxbox for a gui [08:13] Dr_Willis: but i had the impression it was old configs that tended to cause issues for people, not /var or /usr [08:14] map7_: i did have an older pc. that the USB keyboasrd would not work right on th GRUB menus. but a PS2 keyboard would.. but you said this is a laptop.. so that shouldent be the issue.. it is the SHIFT key for grub2 to hold down as it boots to get to the menu. perhaps you are just not hitting it at the right time. [08:14] tx23_: You're welcome. [08:14] sresu: so i dont have to reconfigure my VPNs and resolvconf and various other sysadminy things ive configured [08:14] ive run tasksel from the server distro but dont see Ubuntu Desktop... my first choice is "Manual package selection", then i see "Obsolete and [...]" and "Virtual Packages". didnt see an "Ubuntu Desktop" in either. [08:14] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:14] maco: well in the past (years ago) i recall many an issue with old /home/ configs for gnome and kde causing issues.. but that seems to not be a proble these days. [08:14] DuckMaestro: yeah each variant of ubuntu is just another metapackage in the same repo [08:15] Dr_Willis: perhaps I'm not as it boots really fast, I'm just booting up a good old live cd and chroot in like you suggested [08:15] wb Nikk [08:15] jep1985 - Thank you :D I'm going to send you the output... [08:16] crossing my fingers [08:16] I'm trying to set up Larch and the install script is failing with "/usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory". How can I get around this short of setting up a symlink? python2.6 is installed [08:16] Hello, I'm having issues with disk I/O. The problem begin when I try to extract an array of files, and brings the system to an absolute crawl which I can't escape unless I reboot. Any ideas on why extraction would drop i/o speeds to almost a halt anyone? I've run fsck and smartctl for errors - none. [08:16] petan, thanks for your help [08:16] @jep1985 - http://pastebin.com/xc4cAFEu [08:16] surt, what's your hardware, filesystem [08:17] surt: you could try hdparm, [08:17] so is it stopping at setting up mysql-server (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.7) ... ? [08:17] Ya.. [08:17] StuartPB: it should be python, not python2 [08:17] StuartPB: intel i7 920, ext4 for the OS [08:17] just freezing up, or does it return to the command line? [08:17] surt: your storage medium [08:18] StuartPB: What? [08:18] surt: what's your HDD [08:18] jep1985 - That's precisely what i have been thinking....sadly returning to command line...:( [08:18] Nikkk: sudo sudo sudo! [08:18] !Ubuntu [08:18] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [08:18] hmm.. [08:18] !ubuntu [08:19] StuartPB: since its using env, i guess you could do env python2=python ? [08:19] rdw200169 - Didn't get you ? sudo ? [08:19] rdw200169: hdparm before extraction = 116.41 MB/sec, afterwards = 1.5 [08:19] Nikkk: haha, sorry, that was rude, i noticed it on line 3 ;) [08:19] :P [08:19] !ubuntu [08:19] I'm not sure how to help you here [08:19] :P [08:19] karthick87: stop that [08:19] i'm not sure which log to check to see what's happening with apt [08:19] surt: it could also be a BIOS ahci thing [08:19] maco: I tried env python2=python2.6 ./larch and it didn't work [08:19] exact same error [08:19] StuartPB: id set it =python, since "/usr/bin/env python" is how the script *should* start [08:20] rdw200169: I tried disable acpi, but there doesn't seem to be an ahci control in the bios. [08:20] man this fella(issue) is irritating me so much..grr [08:20] StuartPB: possibly you have to set the whole path instead though? in which case env python2=/usr/bin/python2.6 [08:20] surt: are you sure your memory controller / northbridge chip is fully supported ? [08:21] maco: yeah both env python2=python and /usr/bin/python don't work [08:21] (and of course /usr/bin/python2.6 [08:21] rdw200169: Yes. This is a new problem. I could extract files all day before about 2 days ago. [08:21] ?? [08:22] surt: is there a fan on your motherboard over the southbridge chip? [08:22] rdw200169: Just having trouble picking out the issue. iotop doesn't show anything crazy, nor does top or system monitor [08:22] penny: what [08:22] rdw200169: Why? [08:22] surt: is this just a normal platter or is it SSD or what [08:23] surt: lots of SATA/IDE issues can arise from a overheating southbridge chip. For example, Asus/Gigabyte are fans of huge southbridge heatsinks. this does *not* preclude the need for case cooling though. [08:23] StuartPB: This is a basic 500gb sata 7200rpm HDD [08:23] rdw200169: if it was a heat related issue, then it should work great right after a cold start, then get worse over a short period of time, right? [08:23] greezmunkey: sure. [08:23] Dr_Willis: grub was set to timeout 0, I think that was the problem [08:24] But it isn't heat related, because graphics intensive tasks run like fluid. [08:24] Other cpu-intensive demands are rapid as usual. [08:24] StuartPB: reading about env online, it seems that in the case of commands, its not treating them as variables you can set at will. it's just doing a lookup in the $PATH, so i think you're gonna have to go with teh symlink [08:24] Installing from repos are lightning quick. [08:24] map7_: for some odd reason it got deciuded that if you are not dual booting . that you dont need themenu :) or some weirdness. [08:24] StuartPB: what is larch anyway, and why is it using nonstandard python naming? [08:24] It's very specific to extraction, though I don't know what else to test. [08:24] holy hell.. lol.. the ubuntu webservers are running 5.10 [08:25] surt: what do you mean by extraction? [08:25] It's only after I try to extract a large array of files that it slows down, and hdparm benchmarked it for me. [08:25] (off topic) [08:25] maco: because it's designed to be installed from a running Arch Linux system, and apparently they have a python2 link [08:25] greezmunkey: Extraction of an array of rar files for example. [08:25] StuartPB: can you just sed s/python2/python/ on it? [08:26] surt: well, i mean, isn't some sort of slowdown *expected*? thats a lot of data getting shuffled through the ram and back to the hard drive just to be processed 2x by the cpu. thats one write for every read in the ram... [08:26] surt: sonds like a disk IO buffer issue to me. [08:26] maco: can I do that non-destructively? [08:26] sounds... [08:26] greezmunkey: surt i'm thinking buffer too [08:26] greezmunkey: Yes, the extraction begins very quickly then practically stops. That sounds right to me... [08:26] StuartPB: how do you mean? sed -i.bak would make a backup of the original unedited one with a .bak ending... [08:27] surt: do you have another drive handy? [08:27] maco: I meant like a pipe or something so it doesn't even hit the filesystem [08:27] greezmunkey: I have four... [08:27] surt: so are we talking about 7200/500GB sata drive with 4M of cache? 32M of cache? all important... [08:27] surt In the system now? [08:27] StuartPB: yes, if you dont use -e on sed, it just goes to stdout [08:27] StuartPB: in which case you can | [08:27] rdw200169: Yes I expect a slight slowdown but this is a new issue and a heavy slow down [08:28] surt: are you using the motherboard RAID system? [08:28] greezmunkey: The disk is about a year old, roughly. [08:28] surt: furthermore, are you showing any S.M.A.R.T. errors of any kind? [08:28] greezmunkey: No. [08:28] rdw200169: Not that I noticed but I don't think I'm using the right syntax, can you recommend? [08:29] greezmunkey: hahaha motherboard raid, you had me goin there... NOBODY uses that! [08:29] what, so just going sed s/python2/python ./larch | will execute it? [08:29] rdw200169: I was just askin' [08:29] surt: smartmontools [08:29] Dr_Willis: I fixed it :), when I chroot and fixed my grub, then booted to recovery mode I connected a network cable and ran fix broken packages and guess what, about 20 xserver packages were missing from the upgrade [08:30] All fixed now [08:30] thanks for the chroot hint [08:30] rdw200169: Is that the binary name? [08:30] Or the package name? [08:30] now i'm going to eat dinner [08:30] map7_: chroot is good and good for you :) [08:30] i just found out about chroot today.. using it as a development environment ;) [08:30] n/m, package [08:30] 'chroot' the wonder tool. [08:30] hi, i am doing ubuntu minimal install. during partitioning i set my /home and swap to be encrypted. later on, when i came to user configuration, i was asked again, if i want to encrypt my /home directory. what's the point in this? [08:30] Hi. I have a sister who is 10 years old (adopted, i am 30) and she wants to learn how to play chess. Chess vs. computer on GNOME is too hard for an adult who knows how to play, even on the easy level. are there 'easier' chess games for linux? [08:31] maco: what, so just going sed s/python2/python ./larch | will execute it? [08:31] surt: package name [08:31] rdw200169: Do you mean the smartctl binary? I have used that. [08:31] surt: after install, use /sbin/smartctl [08:31] surt: ah, nevermind [08:31] i think i have figured out how gnome chess works, on the easy level it only thinks 3 moves ahead [08:31] how about just 1 move ahead [08:31] StuartPB: i think youd need to pipe it to something... like the python command maybe [08:31] sprung: thers dozens of chess games and engines out ther, most of the games are front ends to the chess engines. You may want to check for chess tutorial programs. [08:31] that would be better for a child [08:32] maco: anyway what would be the command to just change every shebang in the directory pointed at python2 to python [08:32] Dr_Willis, what should i be googling for [08:32] rdw200169: I think smartctl is telling me I have errors. [08:32] maybe get the old fashioned kind of chess set and teach her to play on it.. then move to gnome ;) [08:32] chess tutorial perhaps.. its been years since i last looked intoit [08:32] @jep1985,rdw200169 : any idea how to fix it ? :( I'm not able to install phpMyAdmin.. [08:32] sprung: check the package manager for 'chess' also [08:33] alright... [08:33] Dr_Willis, 'chess' is the one i am complaining about [08:33] if you run tasksel in a terminal, (sudo tasksel) is LAMP server selected? [08:33] Dr_Willis, i can't beat it on easy and i should be able to get somewhere. this thing is three moves ahead of me or so [08:34] surt: hehe, be careful... a bad drive can get you in a LOT of trouble... i thank S.M.A.R.T. everday for its everknowing wonderfulness and prompt smartness at letting me know when my drive is gonna fail... [08:34] and you can use undo and i still can't win [08:34] maybe just try installing from tasksel [08:34] select LAMP server (go to little box and hit space bar) hit tab and hit ok [08:34] Nikkk: I had the same issue a while back, I got great help in #mysql - It's worth a shot. [08:34] im not saying im great at chess but i know how to play and should be able to beat the thing on easy [08:34] surt: its actually a feature of the drive, not ubuntu/windows/mac etc... [08:34] StuartPB: with overwriting+backup? sed -i.bak 's;#!/usr/bin/env python2;#!/usr/bin/env python;' *.py <-- may need to add spaces between shebang and slash [08:34] maco: they're not .pys [08:35] rdw200169: I know. It's a pretty cool function of the HDD. [08:35] @greezmunkey - Thanks a lot ! :) [08:35] StuartPB: ok then * [08:35] sprung, why not human vs human ---- you could be 2nd one [08:35] sprung: perhaps at -> http://www.chessopolis.com/tutorials.htm [08:35] rdw200169: I don't if I'm interpreting the info correctly though, I think I'm getting errors. [08:35] Nikkk, yeah just don't have mysql help you when you mess something up administration-wise they want you to fail [08:35] i had a bad experience with #mysql [08:35] they are like "so go get trained we're not going to help you" [08:36] rdw200169: "04 71 03 80 01 32 e0 Device Fault; Error: ABR" [08:36] Nikkk: I wish I could relate the fix to you, but I don't remember right now. It was about a two or three step process, and viola! I was in. [08:36] maco: is that recursive [08:36] rdw200169: "04 71 03 80 01 32 e0 Device Fault; Error: ABRT" [08:36] StuartPB: no [08:36] coolmadmax, that would be cool [08:36] surt: there it is! [08:36] StuartPB: if you need recursive, you'll need to mash that into find's -exec {} [08:36] surt: haha, i have no idea what that is... where are those SMART codes listed again... hint hint ;) [08:37] Nikkk, all i'm saying is this: #mysql tends not to be as helpful as a lot of the other channels [08:37] rdw200169: heh smart - a shell game played by drive manufacturers... [08:37] maco: no, it looks like directory should be OK [08:37] Can I install Daily Build image of Natty using simple wubi installer? I mean auto partions and simple 7 step installation. [08:37] That hex isn't it? [08:37] "04 71 03 80 01 32 e0"?? [08:38] surt: the e0 is a dead give away [08:38] however, one of the most helpful channels i have ever seen is #bash when you are trying to figure out a one-liner to save the day systems administration-wise [08:38] Anubody having trubles with firefox fonts, after installing Ms-True type font installer and some ms fonts? [08:38] maco: running it with * made it try to work on irectories [08:38] I will be use my whole hardrive while installing. Can someone point me to good tutorial if wubi does not work while installing Natty [08:38] #bash has literally not just saved my employment at a previous job but saved the company too [08:38] StuartPB: hm. surprising. [08:39] @sprung - That's very bad feedback I'm hearing ! :) [08:39] Need some help understanding the Indicator applet in the panel.. first off how do i fix so i can get a twitter icon that shows unread tweets. and how do i get a chat icon that flashes when i get messages? [08:39] lol Nikkk [08:39] sprung : :P [08:39] surt http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/FAQ#Iseesomestrangeoutputfromsmartctl.Whatdoesitmean [08:40] rdw200169: Thanks. [08:41] but yeah #mysql im sorry to say so but most of them are a bunch of assholes they think that everybody should have studied the official MySQL manual and been a developer before being an administrator and blah blah blah and im like Shut Yo Ass Up im a mufukin gangster [08:41] rdw200169: Nothing about that particular error. [08:41] !language | sprung [08:41] sprung: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:41] rdw200169: I'm going to check my BIOS. I have a feeling something is wrong there rather than the HDD. It's a good drive, I trust it. [08:42] Develop these hundred dollar bills entering my wallet as i administrate what you develop and try to hide that mysql administration is easy [08:42] which raid, is best for READ/WRITE ? I need high data transfer/write. [08:42] sprung: I found that if I was patient with them, they were patient with me. [08:42] surt: well all say that until one day... blammo!! and then we wish we got that 1TB for $59 when it was on super sale the other day... [08:42] also how do i get an icon in the panel that directly opens my chat window and an icon that directly opens the broadcast window? thanks! [08:42] "sed -i.bak 's;#!/usr/bin/env python2;#!/usr/bin/env python;' *" why is this command trying to edit directories [08:43] rdw200169: Those ARBT error come up every 3 months on random drives for me. I have 5 drives and every time it's a different one. This is not a drive issue. [08:43] greezmunkey, yeah whatever i have an interview with Google next week [08:43] StuartPB "sed -i.bak 's;#!/usr/bin/env python2;#!/usr/bin/env python;' *.php" [08:43] StuartPB : or *.whatever [08:43] surt: haha, i know, i just wanted to say "BLAMMO!!" (i've had my fair share of bad drives at bad times [08:44] rdw200169: Last time they appeared I fixed them by swapping the kernel. they never came back until I did and upgrade...hah...'if it ain't broke'... [08:44] lulz [08:44] StuartPB, #bash would love to help you way better than this channel will [08:44] znull: in this case it's *.nothing and there's no dot [08:44] StuartPB, im serious they will love what you just typed [08:44] looks like I'm going to have to edit ALL 6 SCRIPTS by hand, whine whine what a pain [08:45] sprung: and interviewing with google is relevant to patience on irc....how? [08:45] StuartPB : test -d ^^ [08:46] 你好 [08:46] maco, what is patience when a server must be up or the company is going tits up? [08:46] sprung: yeah again with the language that's not allowed in here...

[08:47] is "shut up" ok to say or is that obscene? [08:47] lol [08:47] my baptist parents say thats a bad word to my 10 year old adopted sister [08:47] sprung: well that'd be rather rude and so not very inline with channel guidelines [08:47] so is "shut up" a bad word? [08:47] i need to know which words i can and can't say [08:47] lol [08:47] it's two words, either of which are bad on their own, but it is a rude expression [08:48] otherwise you're writing a blank check on power here [08:48] *neither [08:48] hom, not sure about up ^^ :P [08:48] !offtopic [08:48] !guidelines | sprung how about you just read this [08:48] #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! [08:48] sprung how about you just read this: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [08:49] lol [08:49] what about "shut down"... that is bad for sure hahahaha [08:49] scnr [08:49] hi to all! [08:49] is there anything I can do so I don't have to enter my password constantly [08:49] cuk [08:49] StuartPB: sudo -i [08:49] StuartPB: it shouldnt be constant. there's a 15 minute timeout on sudo [08:49] like increase the timeout from 15 minutes to 3 years [08:50] StuartPB: I tend to get the system configed.. then rarely need to enter the paswword.. You can get a root 'shell' via the sudo -i, if thats what you want. [08:50] StuartPB, do you mean log in or working with sudo? [08:50] working with sudo and gksu and whatever the keyring os for my launchpad ssh key and my wireless [08:50] maco, i have just read the Guidelines and the Code of Conduct and it says nothing about specific words which may and may not be used, only a general manner of whether they are used pejoratively or not. [08:51] StuartPB: when you login, the keyring should unlock automatically [08:51] no words i have said are used pejoratively against other users in this channel. [08:51] sprung: right, which is why i refused to answer whether "shut up" was itself a bad word [08:51] sprung, as soon as some1 is offended, it's not allowed [08:51] therefore i have committed no offense in this channel [08:51] (or words, as the case may be) [08:51] i wasn't telling you to shut up [08:51] sprung: which is why i didnt remove you when you asked! [08:52] sprung: please just drop the attitude, it is counter productive. Thank you. [08:52] sprung: however if you /were/ being rude and dismissive toward folks, that /would/ be a guidelines violation === Termana_ is now known as Termana [08:52] it was a question to put your actions to 'ad absurdium' because i consider 'shut up' silly to call a bad word and you have said every single thing that could possibly be construed as naught an offense to you [08:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/531082/ what's up with this [08:52] *naughty [08:52] sprung: the issue with language earlier was the bit about "keep the channel family-friendly" -- as a starting list, the 7 Dirty Words are a good guide for what's blacklisted [08:53] moo moo [08:53] quiescens: i find that offensive... [08:53] sprung: you *did* use a word on that list, and you attempted to obfuscate another word on it before that [08:53] maco, like i said before, if you want to get rid of me just ban me. the whole 'shut up' thing was an attempted parody on your taking abhorrence at every possible naughty thing i type, even though your rules and guidelines have absolutely no naughtiness or bad words clause whatsoever [08:53] StuartPB: it means some bit of python code is trying to import from a module called controller, which it can't find [08:53] Why does Maverick store a socket »gnome-session« in /tmp/.ICE-unix? [08:53] Now back to trying to get burg working.. It works. but no eyecandy them. [08:54] bullgard4: that is normal not just for maverick [08:54] sprung: this channel DOES have a family-friendly rule. that includes no naughty words. Period. [08:54] maco, there is no "list" [08:54] !language | sprung, please *actually read* what it is the bot is saying [08:54] sprung, please *actually read* what it is the bot is saying: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:54] i looked at your guidelines there's no list of bad words [08:54] at all [08:55] sprung: because we could not possibly list them all [08:55] i could [08:55] sprung: the phrase "family friendly" that the bot uses should be enough for a reasonable person to figure out [08:55] This is off topic, you both know that. [08:55] http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct [08:55] this is the code of conduct. [08:55] sprung: if you want to debate our rules do it in #ubuntu-ops, but they won't change [08:56] i'm sorry that discussing it in here embarrasses you [08:56] sprung: greezmunkey is correct that it is offtopic, and being offtopic here is ALSO against the rules [08:56] so can you guys take it to #dispute or #offended or whatever [08:56] so either give tech support, or just drop it [08:56] hey [08:56] discussing offtopic nuances is offtopic please stop discussing it [08:56] !attitude [08:56] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

I sometimes have problems with GNOME. [08:58] siji: i was thinking that was to be a new feature in 10.10. but i imagine its a work in progress.. ive never even had a multituch devuce to test it with. [08:58] greezmunkey: it's fine. better to have someone /else/ pointing out the offtopicness, though somehow the other person still managed to attempt to pretend its me trying to hide something [08:58] bullgard4: what exactly [08:58] siji: theres proberly some forum/wiki pages that discuss it. and may have hints for specific devices. [08:59] maco, please stop talking about it i am trying to get support here [08:59] silly, now back to business :) [08:59] Dr_Willis, I have saw some demo videos on it [08:59] Which is running on dell , with Unity [08:59] Dell netbook [08:59] siji: thats a good sign then i guess. :) Cutting edge stuff often is a little rough.

[09:02] sprung: i'm not. all i have seen you do is rant about other channels to Nikkk and then argue with me when i told you your language was impermissable [09:02] Dr_Willis, wild guess it's clutter i think [09:02] :-D [09:02] maco, sprung, keep it to a whisper session [09:02] maco, uh huh.

[09:28] CRU_: look in /var/log there are xorg logs do you error there? [09:28] mfaroukg: what is the message you're getting? [09:28] CRU_: maybe just your gnome crash [09:28] isn't there a kde channel on freenode? [09:28] CRU_: look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:30] alkisg, no system disk message and nothing else till i boot with the bindrive ubuntu [09:30] mfaroukg: that sounds like a hardware problem. Check your disk and cables? [09:30] Did it work before? [09:30] alkisg, i tried the testdisk and i can see the partitions [09:31] mfaroukg: how was the booting "broken"? [09:31] mfaroukg: try to renew your grub settings [09:31] petan, greezmunkey: in var/log/Xorg.org I have this line a few times: 1551.385...No input driver/identifier specified Iignoring and previous line is HID mouse (ir remote with mouse) [09:31] mfaroukg: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:32] alkisg, i was trying to install the ubuntu 10.10 and it wrote in the windows boot sector [09:32] CRU_: that is not the problem, anything else [09:32] mfaroukg: so ubuntu was never properly installed & running on that disk? [09:32] petan, can i do i using the try cd? [09:32] petan: anything specifically i should look for or search...ERROR word or something? [09:33] mfaroukg: if it boot your system [09:33] hi all, is there an easy way to move an exact image of my hard drive over to a new computer, when both are dual booting with windows xp? [09:33] petan, it does of course [09:33] mfaroukg: then yes [09:33] CRU_: paste the contents to http://paste.ubuntu.com, then paste the url back here so we can take a look. [09:33] petan, i will try it now [09:33] a [09:33] mfaroukg: backup old grub.cfg [09:34] CRU_: if it is too big you can strip part with different time then time close to crash [09:34] greezmunkey: will do. it just did it again this minute (2:34am my time) [09:35] mfaroukg: *than sure [09:35] mfaroukg: ignore that [09:35] petan, shall i backup / [09:35] mfaroukg: no [09:35] mfaroukg: just /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:35] petan, Okay [09:35] boxbeatsy: you wanting to move the windows OS? or just a lot of data? or an exact clone of 2 hard drives? [09:36] if you run apt-get update and upgrade how much will that update your system if a new .x release is released? [09:36] boxbeatsy: are the 2 hd's the same size? :) [09:36] Dr_Willis: they're nto the same size. i only want to copy the linux partition on my original computer to the new one [09:36] *not === ubuntu is now known as nas_lover [09:36] petan, will it recover my windows boot too? [09:36] mfaroukg: maybe [09:36] jeffmr_: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade will keep your current release and continue to download only security/bugfix updates [09:37] mfaroukg: you must prefix command with sudo [09:37] petan, sure [09:37] boxbeatsy: one way would be to use 'fsarchiver' and some sort of network share/ssh/nfs/ [09:37] greezmunkey, petan: ok, here's my xorg file: paste.ubuntu.com/531101/ [09:37] petan, i was trying the fixmbr [09:37] boxbeatsy: but i think fstachiver tends to archive to one place, then restores. so it would be a 2 step process [09:37] boxbeatsy: how big is the linux part of the HD? [09:37] mfaroukg: if it break your win loader you will need to use win install cd to fix it [09:38] mfaroukg: does ubuntu from your hard disk boot now? or are you with a live cd? [09:38] Dr_Willis: i see, it's 60 GB on the old one, and 120GB ont he new one [09:38] quiescens, is there a way to update other things on your system? [09:38] hi. i need some help with the catalyst settings. i change the scaling properties to "keep aspect ratio" for lower resolutions, but everytime i restart the settings are gone. How can i set it permanently? [09:38] is there a command to search inside an archive without exctracting file ? [09:38] alkisg, not from HDD it works from the USB for now [09:38] jeffmr_: if you want to upgrade from one release to another, there are some basic instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:39] Dr_Willis: when using fsarchiver, what folders in the root system do i have to copy over to have an exact image of my hd? [09:39] boxbeatsy: fsarchiver will only copy the actual data over. so if its 60gb thats 1/2 wempty - it will only have tomove 30gb or som. [09:39] i know it's possible by browsing the archive with an explorer but i look for a command [09:39] mfaroukg: did ubuntu ever boot from your hard disk? or was the installation unsuccesful? [09:39] petan, now i will run the command on the other machine sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [09:39] weird issue.... just booted into 10.10 on mac mini. see the login screen with my username, but mouse and keyboard are not responsive. keyboard was perfectly fine during install. also, i know its not locked up because i can tap the power button, and i see a prompt about 60 sec till shutdown. thoughts? [09:39] mfaroukg: what machine [09:39] boxbeatsy: i think the fsarchiver docs mention the proper ways to do a clone of one system to another. Ive never done it that way. [09:39] alkisg, yes [09:39] mfaroukg: that will modify your usb stick, not your hard disk [09:40] mfaroukg: yes on what? "unsucessful"? [09:40] petan, i meant the laptop which having the problem [09:40] Dr_Willis: i see. ok. i think i can figure it out from here. thank yoU! [09:40] boxbeatsy: personally i would just insall to the new pc. and copy ver the home and /etc/ dirs.. then use the !clone factoid info to reinstall the packages. [09:40] jeffmr_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for more specific instructions [09:40] mfaroukg: do you boot system from harddrive? [09:40] Dr_Willis: Hmmm yea that may be easier [09:40] alkisg, yes it worked before on ubuntu, now i am using the USB to boot the laptop [09:40] hello how to use wayland in ubuntu? [09:40] mfaroukg: ok, then you need to follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling from LiveCD [09:41] thanks [09:41] CRU_: nothing notable in there, let me check something else. [09:41] mfaroukg: it's also valid if you boot from a usb stick, like you do now. [09:42] greezmunkey: thanks so much for trying to help me...I'm at a total loss of what's happening so i really appreciate it. Let me know if you want to see any other logs [09:42] If I have an x term open, but it's scrolled past the 1000 line cutoff, or whatever the cutoff is, is there any way to get the commands that were previously displayed back??

[09:43] alkisg, i will use the way that paten advised [09:43] greezmunkey, CRU_ suggestion, I think it is gnome what ends session not xserver [09:43] mfaroukg: ask petan again for that, but he thought you booted from your hard disk, so his advice wasn't valid [09:44] petan: you are probably right, but I honestly don't know how to troubleshoot that. Do you? [09:44] mfaroukg: indeed, if you now booted from usb follow the manual form alkisg it should work [09:44] petan, okay no problem [09:44] how do i install a shared librarie ?

[09:46] mfaroukg: don't forget to chroot to your hdd before performing it [09:47] intick: there seems to be a libstdc++5 packages in the repos. install them perhaps. [09:47] i'll be back ... [09:47] CRU_: or try gnome-safe [09:47] petan: chroot isn't needed, --root-directory tells grub where its binaries are [09:47] Dr_Willis: i need this versino exactely libstdc++.so.5 as it's shown in this past bin (Ctrl + F search for libstdc++.so.5) [09:47] Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531091/ [09:47] petan, i am still reading, what does chroot do? [09:48] alkisg: but it could help to determine all drives and kernels [09:48] intick: no idea on doing specific versions. I rarely compile stff or have that issue. [09:48] mfaroukg: it will change / to your hdd's root [09:48] mfaroukg: do all commands in correct order [09:49] mfaroukg: read the instructions (4) and (5) on the wiki page that say: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt and sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX [09:49] Those 2 commands should be enough [09:49] Anyone else notice that Printing sites. In firefox. ioften does NOT print properly? Seen any good extensions/tricks to get sites to print better? Having to print out some web site catalog pages. for Insurance claims. And thers too much info missing on the printouts. [09:49] Dr_Willis: ok :/ [09:49] petan: if it does work under a different session...what does that mean for the session I was in (i.e. I have mythbuntu installed and switched to XFCE log in) [09:50] intick: so you have a precompiled binary version of an app. that DEMANDS a specifc libstdc++ version? [09:50] alkisg, i think i should install the grub again using the aptitude install grub-pc [09:51] * dreamtraveler geia (means hi) [09:51] mfaroukg: if you want to reconfifgure grub. theres also 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' [09:51] mfaroukg: well... I can't help if you won't listen... you can continue trying stuff or you can just follow the wiki. That's all from me :) [09:51] contrary to popular belief, just doing "apt-get install" on a package that's already installed will usually do nothing at all [09:51] lol [09:51] quiescens: thats windows 'training' :) [09:52] CRU_: then problem is in the environment try to switch to another user maybe it is in your home settings [09:52] alkisg, don't worry i don't like to try many stuff, i just read the guide [09:52] thanks, petan alkisg for your help. usung xrandr in an autostart-script works just fine [09:52] mfaroukg: installing grub on the usb stick won't help you though === Silver is now known as Guest70928 [09:53] Hi guys [09:53] Dr_Willis: actually the lib i'm looking fr was included in another RMP package, which i converted and i'm trying to extract and install [09:53] alkisg, is it on the usb now? :( [09:53] alkisg, i need time to read to end [09:53] mfaroukg: you booted from the usb stick, so any commands you run there are executed on the usb stick === Termana_ is now known as Termana [09:54] mfaroukg: can you tell what all you did from the commands in the article [09:54] mfaroukg: focus on the 2 commands I said above, steps (4) and (5) on the wiki [09:54] Will ubuntu run on a 16Mhz 386 cpu? [09:54] petan: I recently editted init.d/local but changed it back to it's original and updated rc.d Could that play into that (I switched environments and no crash yet) [09:54] Dr_Willis: this lib seems to be needed for my printer http://paste.ubuntu.com/531091/ line 111 [09:55] RMP package? whats an RMP intick ?

[09:56] intick: that libstec++5 package in the pacakge manager should have that file. Using RPM packages converted. can cuse all sorts of problems. [09:57] CRU_: yes don't copy anything just try if it will run ok [09:57] PiousMinion: i would say.. not very likely. [09:57] Dr_Willis: yes but it's the only one i found ... rmp contain this one exactely libstdc++.so.5.0.7 [09:57] PiousMinion: i think a 486+ is needed [09:57] CRU_: make new account and login in to it, btw you use gnome? [09:57] Dr_Willis: It will run on that? [09:57] intick: you mean RPM, not rmp...... and the pacakge manager has the .so.5 version..

[09:59] CRU_: I mean if you use gnome desktop [09:59] CRU_: not all ubuntu versions have it, you said you have special version [09:59] Dr_Willis: yes i folowed this tuto (in french) all seems to be installing correctely printer detected ect .. but when i print a job i get nothing [09:59] Dr_Willis: http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/lexmark_z705 [09:59] Dr_Willis: no it doesn't. x86 means 32bit. i386, i486, i58, and i686 are all very specific. [09:59] intick: and how old is that turoial. [09:59] petan: I just use mythbuntu (installed it from disc and haven't changed anything since then...built off of the lastest ubuntu) [09:59] Dr_Willis: 2009 [10:00] Dr_Willis: :S [10:00] PiousMinion: for the package names - i386 mean its a 32bit package.. vs a 64bit package. or a 'arm' package. [10:00] CRU_: ok try that [10:00] CRU_: it won't harm your system so we can try it [10:00] petan: try what? [10:00] CRU_: make new user [10:00] CRU_: and try login to it if it will be ok [10:00] petan: oh, ok. gotchya. will do. under XFCE it hasn't had any crashes [10:01] PiousMinion: in ubuntu, they're actually compiled to i686 standards but are still named i386 for hysterical raisins [10:01] Dr_Willis: So what processor are the ubuntu packages optimized for if not i386? e.g. what -march/-mtune= options were used for gcc? [10:01] maco: so they do use i686? [10:01] Dr_Willis: cant find the lib in synaptic [10:01] intick: the !find factoid found it earlier. [10:01] PiousMinion: yes, as of 10.10 i believe (or maybe 10.04? --- it used to be i586) [10:02] maco, interesting [10:02] you ren ma [10:02] intick: -> libstdc++5 - The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 [10:02] maco: thanks. So you know of other distros do the same? (use one but name it i386) [10:02] Do* [10:02] !info libstdc++5 [10:02] libstdc++5 (source: gcc-3.3 (1:3.3.6ds1-20)): The GNU Standard C++ Library v3. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.3.6-20 (maverick), package size 305 kB, installed size 1064 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 powerpc) [10:02] alkisg,paten, i think i should reinstall the grub2 first because the laptop says no system disk and the grub menu not appearing, am I right? [10:02] PiousMinion: on that old/low end a box. I will be suprised at any mondern disrto that will work. Try Pully Linux 'legacy' version perhaps. [10:02] PiousMinion: i believe fedora names theirs i386. i rather doubt they actually still use such low optimisations, but you could ask in #fedora [10:03] Dr_Willis: puppy, you mean? [10:03] mfaroukg: follow article [10:03] maco: yea thats it.. :) [10:03] I dont think Puppy will even run on that low end a box. [10:03] mfaroukg: if you get to last step you can reinstall it [10:03] PiousMinion: have you considered Linux From Scratch? [10:04] Dr_Willis: http://front1.monsterup.com/upload/1289642620346.png [10:04] maco: 386 questions were hypothetical. Was trying to understand what was actually used. [10:04] PiousMinion: oh ok [10:05] Was scratching head wondering why everyone used i386. [10:05] Eh .. anyone have a clue where I can find the mount options for volumes that are not in my fstab? [10:05] (eg. external disks that appear as an icon on the gnome desktop and which are mounted when double clicked) [10:06] blasty_: the "mount" command? [10:06] maco: not I meant more like the defaults that are being used when I do the double click thingie :) [10:06] PiousMinion: its just a grandfathered in nameing scheme.. same as they call 64bit packages amd64. its not really amd specific [10:06] I know how mount works, and I know which options I want to adjust [10:06] petan: heh, it's getting late and I think I am going to go to bed. But thanks for this idea. I will mess aroudn under the new account to see if it works fine. any last thoughts for it? [10:07] greezmunkey: Thanks for helping me, I htink I am going to go to bed. Any last thoughts? [10:07] CRU_: I think it is somewhere in gnome configuration [10:07] CRU_: you will see [10:07] Dr_Willis: I'm aware of the 32bit versions. What different 64bit optimizations are there? [10:07] CRU_: Other than thinking that petan is on to something, no. [10:08] PiousMinion: no idea. i rarely ever compuile stuff these days. [10:08] petan, greezmunkey: ok, thanks guys. night. [10:08] any idea why a usb keyboard would work fine during install but stop working at the login screen? [10:08] CRU_: I got morning, but gn [10:09] what should I choose for the Bootloader ?? should it be installed on SDA or sda5,sda6 which is the partions for linux including the swap file area [10:09] DuckMaestro: as a test. Unplug/Plug it back in. Ive seen others in here ask similer things.. and in a few cases.. they unplg/plugged it back in.. then it worked fine after that.. (even after reboots , it like kicked it awake or somthing) [10:09] lea123: in most cases /dev/sda [10:09] put sda [10:09] lea123: depends on your needs, many users suggest sda but I don't like that option [10:09] Dr_Willis: tried that already actually. and another reboot. and a different keyboard and port [10:09] I may be asking in the wrong forum, but then please direct me to the one... I have a broken harddisk connected to a USB port. What software to use with ubuntu is able to recover the data and partition table on it? any tool you can recommand? [10:10] DuckMaestro: Im out of ideas then. [10:10] Dr_Willis: thanks nevertheless [10:10] frold: you can try 'ddrescue' or 'dd_rescue' to image it to a file. then try to recover data from that file. [10:10] I installed the ubuntu over Vista however it isn't showing up as an option to boot into there when i power on the machine VISTA just loads up... This was the result of me installing the GRUB on SDA5 where linux was to be installed... [10:11] lea123: if you can use grub for all systems you can use sda if you have systems unbootable with grub choose your linux partition [10:11] Dr_Willis, thanks I will give it a try :) [10:12] lea123: I don't know where your gub is? [10:12] lea123: yea. sda5 is proberly not where you want it. If you had 2 hard drives.. you could put grub on sdb.. but it needs to be on the drive mbr. not on the partitions mbr normally [10:12] lea123: use gparted and set sda5 bootable === share is now known as _share [10:12] hi, i am doing ubuntu minimal install. during partitioning i set my /home and swap to be encrypted. later on, when i came to user configuration, i was asked again, if i want to encrypt my /home directory. what's the point in this? [10:13] You can even do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and tell grub to go on sda. and any usb flash drive you got plugged in. :) that way you can have a rescue flashd rive that should boot the system. [10:14] Hey guys! So I'm currently setting up my grandfathers' laptop; he's an Ubuntu user and he loves it. The only problem right now is that one of the more recent kernels stopped his USB 3G dongle from working... I've found a fix for it myself, namely "sudo rmmod usb-storage" twice a second until it runs twice with no error, then "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003" once and it all works. [10:14] Benkinooby: one is for an encrypted home PARTITION i imagine.. the other is for the users to have their own encrypted HOME. (to protect from other users perhaps?) [10:14] I tried to automate this through adding a rule in /etc/modprobe.d; install usb-storage ret=`/usr/sbin/lsusb | /bin/grep -c "12d1:1003"`; if [ $ret -gt 0 ];then /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003; else /sbin/modprobe --ignore-installl usb-storage $CMDLINE_OPTS; fi [10:15] though somehow this doesn't work as it should. While the modem does get mounted as /dev/ttyUSB0 as it should, it doesn't appear in networkmanager. [10:15] v_: you could blacklist that usb-storage module, then do the commands to fix it from rc.local perhaps. [10:15] Dr_Willis, ah, i forgot that also other users share the /home partition :P what you say is quite plausible. so now, my home floder is double encrypted Oo [10:15] v_: thats odd you are running the rmmod twice in a row. [10:15] Can someone help me enable evolution to send "ID ("GUID" "1")" command to IMAP before logging in? what command do i need to put? [10:16] yeah, I need to keep running it... first time it unloads it from the kernel, then I connect the dongle, then I need to keep running it until it unloads it once more [10:16] petan: dr_Willis: I have Vista loaded on C and D drive is free. I tried installing on this D drive which I saw as SD5 during installation and I installed the Linux bootloader on SD5. DR WILLIS are you saying I should have loaded it on SDA which is shown as the entire drive of 250GB. The biggest worry is I don't want anything to be written on the hidden partition which is where my hidden... [10:16] ...recovery files are : === dave is now known as Guest36766 [10:16] the 3g dongle appears as three usb devices simultaneously; one flashdrive, one CDFS cdrom emulator, and finally he modem itself [10:16] Hey guys, ive got a weird bug in ubuntu 10.10 [10:17] when i open vlc media player, ubuntu logs out [10:17] Dr_Willis: I was hoping I'd be able to unload it only when the 3g dongle is connected, so that regular usb sticks would still work, hence my grep of lsusb to see whether the modem is connected [10:17] it seems to wait until i move my mouse across it === ElNota is now known as ElNota_ === ElNota_ is now known as ElNota [10:17] lea123: make d: bootable [10:17] and i dont have move over to focus [10:17] I know it's kind of a hack, but I need to have this completely automated by the time I leave tomorrow [10:17] v_: you can load the module again by hand after a delay perhaps [10:18] lea123: or sda5 with gparted [10:18] the user of this computer is 80 years old, I don't want to make him do terminal stuff just to get online :| [10:18] petan: dr_Willis: I don't see my D drive any longer but in the DISK MANAGER it doesn't show as an ext3 file. Could I assume the installation was complete and only the Grub is pending [10:18] lea123: try live cd and gparted [10:19] petan: I make use of the installer to do my partition... Isn't that OK [10:19] Good morning - I hope you can give some hints how to set an HP LaserJet 1320n for network printing from the command line (without using cupsd ... only cups-client or just another one ... ) [10:19] lea123: installer probably "forgot" to update sda5 boot flag [10:19] lea123: that happens [10:19] I have set the IP-address and can see the printer on the network - http://paste.debian.net/99687 [10:20] petan: FORGOT ?? [10:20] lea123: if you have more systems it is hard to determine what is correct [10:20] I can print .ps ile usind netcat .. like: cat test-page.ps | nc 192.168.1.2 9100 [10:20] .ps file .. [10:20] petan: Dr_Willis say the bootloader needs to be on the SDA which represents the unpartioned HDD [10:20] can anybody tell my a right way to configure my HDD when installing ubuntu 10.04 LTS [10:21] and it works .. however when I try to use "lp" commands many pages will be printed with an ipp header on the first page [10:21] lea123: no it does not need to be there, but it can be [10:21] I'll keep trying for a bit, will have to reboot... I'll be back later [10:21] Guest18960: I am on that issue [10:21] lea123: sda represents the whole HDD, not the unpartitoned spaces in it [10:21] hey guys. when i start vlc media player, ubuntu 10.10 logs me out [10:21] Guest18960: But on 10.10 [10:21] i need to know which partition should be primary - boot, swap, /, home, and which logical [10:21] lea123: try to boot live cd then do what I suggested [10:21] -exit [10:22] Guest18960: it doesn't really matter, but /boot must be primary. [10:22] Guest18960: The MBR is small and can only store 4 primary partitions, this is why "logical" partitions were invented, its a workaround against the 4 partitions limitation [10:22] lea123: or you can use disk manager in windows but I prefer gparted === MohammadAG51 is now known as MohammadAG [10:23] Guest18960: On my install, i have /boot primary, swap primary, root and home all primary (exactly 4 partitions) [10:24] can anyone help with my vlc problem [10:24] Dr_Willis: IT WORKS ! [10:24] Guest18960: The GPT is going to replace the MBR sometimes in the future, it should be able to store between 64-128 partitions, all primary, no need for this logical workaround anymore [10:24] lea123: I have to go, if you get in troubles ask in channel [10:25] Dr_Willis: just copied the LIB from the RPM package and pasted them on /LIB then i tested to print = it works ! [10:25] petan: sure take care [10:25] dave3333: strange problem, have you tried checking the system log and vlc log if it has a one? [10:25] ok I wil put all partitions in primary mode [10:25] lea123: anyway grub in sda5 can work with no troubles [10:25] where do i find the system log? [10:26] dave3333: sudo tail -n100 /var/log/messages [10:26] where would i find vlc log? [10:26] petan: It didn't work and I have the trouble of belieing it forgot :) [10:26] lea123: boot flag is not on sda5 that is problem your bios does not load grub that is why it doesn not work === _share is now known as share [10:27] lea123: if you set sda5 bootable it will load grub next reboot [10:27] petan: thats what I need to figure out however I am overly cautious of my hidden partion of 1.6GB to not get overwritten [10:27] maverick runs so bad on my laptop, the wireless kicks out, the numerous problems I have... I wish I never upgraded from 10.04 [10:28] how can i format the drive that ubuntu is on? [10:28] lea123: by changing boot flag you will not modify partitions, just mbr [10:28] any programs to bind keyboard buttons to a 360 controller for ubuntu? [10:28] lea123: your hidden partition will be same [10:29] jags: i recall seeing some joy-key apps in the repos. [10:29] petan: SDA5 was the free disk area where the linux was asked to be installed and I did use sda5 as the bootloader as well [10:29] lea123: The boot flag is stored in the MBR, which contains a table\array of 4 partition entries (4 primary partitions), your partition is unaffected [10:29] bukem: you need a livecd and boot from that [10:29] lea123: yes but your bios does not know boot loader is on sda5 [10:30] lea123: by setting sda5 bootable it will start using it [10:30] lea123: now it start windows loader [10:30] thats not entirely true [10:30] PETAN : mastertheknife says something different [10:30] i guess [10:30] mastertheknife: what is not true [10:31] intick: that lib should be in the repos.. Perhaps its in unuiverse or multiverse repos that you dont hage enabled.. but good luck. [10:31] it all depends on the boot code that resides inside the MBR, the MBR is not just a partition table of 4 entries (4 primary partitions) but also contains around 400 bytes of boot code, the default code (ms-dos pretty much) just looks in the partition table for what partition has the boot flag, and boots that partition. [10:32] Some boot loaders in the MBR like grub completely ignore the boot flag [10:32] Dr_Willis: yes weird .. anyway thx for help ;) [10:32] mastertheknife: why you think mbr of lea123 is different? mbr was created by windows [10:32] what is he trying to do? make the 1.6GB partition bootable again? [10:33] mastertheknife: but now it starts windows, that mean boot flag is for c: drive which it starts mbr of windows is MS-DOS and mbr of linux is usually dos too [10:33] mastertheknife: 1.6GB is the hidden recovery file partition [10:33] in that case he will need to change the bootcode in the MBR (/FIXMBR in windows recovery console) and to set the boot flag for that partition, windows expects it [10:33] mastertheknife: no just want to use grub for booting instead of windows loader [10:33] mastertheknife: changeing sda5 to bootable would do the same [10:33] mastertheknife YES I saw in the wiki i need to fiddle with BCEEDIT [10:34] why is it that i can't run .sh stuff in my terminal? i always get -bash: ./lammps.sh: No such file or directoy [10:34] file is executable [10:34] paddy: thanks man [10:35] Chosi: check the first line of the script. [10:35] Chosi: it may be incorrect [10:35] well it seems to be a binary [10:35] petan: grub does that fine, just make sure to use the makeactive line or whatever its called, it gives the windows partition the boot flag, windows expects it for some reason [10:35] cause it has ELF in the beginning [10:36] Chosi: try 'file whatever' to see exactly what the file may be. [10:36] the code that grub places in the MBR completely ignores the boot flag, and boots the code in the /boot partition right away [10:36] mastertheknife: I was using grub with all recent windows and vista does not need boot flag nor xp or any other but if you think it would harm it, sure you can try what you suggest [10:36] is this right? - http://img5.glowfoto.com/images/2010/11/13-0206155720L.png [10:36] Chosi: a binary with a .sh name - is a little odd. :) [10:36] mastertheknife: in worst case you can set it back [10:36] Dr_Willis: i know [10:36] http://nandugopan.weebly.com/lammps-in-ubuntu.html got it off here [10:36] I am trying to open an encrypted message sent to me in evolution but it will not automaticly open, it comes up as an attachment (.dat fle) but recognises the mime type PGP/MIME-encrypted message-header attachment. How do i get it to automaticly decode the message, I have already added my key ID to the account prefrances. [10:36] and yeah it's still an elf binary [10:37] im not using grub 2.0 so im not really sure how to change all that stuff [10:38] Is there any fpaste like utility available in ubuntu ? fpaste.org. In fedora we can upload text directly from terminal using | fpaste [10:38] this is what i used to boot XP http://pastebin.com/Cv1YV7J6 [10:38] gvworker: pastebinit [10:38] why am I not allowed in #rtorrent? I can't tlak in there =( [10:39] lea123: good luck [10:40] microsoft [10:40] hi. whenever I try to install something from the software center in maverick (from ubuntu's repositories, not third party) I get this message: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [10:40] how can I fix that [10:40] mastertheknife: fixmbr I believe would be applicable if I on recovery hdd unfortuntaely it isn't the issue [10:40] petan: BYE [10:40] !gpg [10:40] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [10:41] /fixmbr just replaces the bootcode in the MBR with windows's ones [10:41] but thats if you dont want to boot linux anymore [10:41] xocolatl: thers some sort of PGP key from the repos you can add. but im not sure how to do that. I tekd to use the command line tools and just ignore the warnings. [10:41] mastertheknife : but that isn't my problem [10:41] guys can you point me to some article on installing a routeros inside ubuntu with virtualbox and have the ability to start automatically [10:42] Dr_Willis, thanks. I've been having to do that too but I shouldn't have to. this is a clean install! [10:42] hello, i am not sure at the moment if this is a ubuntu or wine issue - ive installed call of duty 4 and when i start it i still see the top and bottom bar of ubuntu - does anyone now how i can hide that so that the game is running really in fullscreen? [10:42] Dr_Willis: thanks [10:42] How can I create an alias for 'sudo apt-get upgrade'? [10:43] or can i install a virtualbox inside a server edition of ubuntu? [10:43] xocolatl: You added some repos? or ppa's ? If its with just the default repos. I recall some web sites mentioning a 'fix' for bad keys. but not really seen teh issue here. [10:43] share, alias your_alias = 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [10:43] Dr_Willis, it's for the default repos [10:44] xocolatl: and what i want to remove?

[10:44] Guest18960: I'd swap another 10gigs from home to / [10:44] Guest18960: depends if you are going to install many programs [10:45] you won't use it all, but better safe than sorry [10:45] share, it's the same syntax [10:45] xocolatl: all and if want to add 2 or more commands just use && ? [10:45] alright [10:45] :p [10:46] xocolatl: i never use the software center.. i find it a little brain dead [10:46] In last installation I have 10Giga for / but i have 5Giga free all the time [10:46] so I decided to leave only 6G [10:46] yeah [10:46] Dr_Willis, me too but if no one tests it, it'll never get any better [10:46] Guest18960: why you use ext2 [10:46] Guest18960: yeah, it is dependant on what you plan to use it for [10:47] Dr_Willis, it's already lots and lots better than lucid's version :) [10:47] for boot and home [10:47] share, someone tell me that for boot is ext2 [10:47] Guest18960, you can use ext4 for boot if you want [10:48] I use ext4 for all [10:48] no problems [10:48] Guest18960: i got 20gb for / and its full. :) [10:48] ok I'll change it [10:48] Guest18960, you just can't use btrfs for /boot yet [10:50] xocolatl: alias your_alias = 'sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade' [10:50] mastertheknife: Nov 13 21:16:19 Quad pulseaudio[5155]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. [10:50] Dr_Willis, I'm only user, I do not need many programs, so I think tha will be enough for me :) [10:50] xocolatl: and how do I know if the alias is already in use [10:50] this is with the vlc player logging me out wheneveri start it [10:51] morning [10:51] ei Reventlov [10:51] "No manual entry for alias" -.-' [10:51] share, simply type "alias your_alias" and see what it tells you [10:51] k [10:52] Guest18960: just a dvd reencode takes 4+GB in /tmp/ watch out.

[10:56] share, you forgot the single quotes [10:56] share, alias update = 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' ? [10:56] doesnt work either [10:56] share, oops, without the question mark (I copied your text) [10:57] wait [10:57] google ftw [10:57] alias list='ls -la' [10:57] dave3333: try running vlc from terminal (console), you will be able to see some errors [10:57] dave3333: or even better, vlc --file-logging [10:57] share, it works perfectly here. I just upgraded my machine lol [10:58] xocolatl: bash: alias: update: not found [10:58] bash: alias: =sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade: not found [10:58] when i try to add [10:58] share, alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' [10:58] i want to move to text user interface. is there a reasonable way to listen to youtube music or even vids while in text interface? [10:59] share, works perfectly for me [10:59] great xocolatl [10:59] :) [10:59] I ssh remotely but can not open browser if it was already opened on the server.....why is that ? [10:59] xocolatl: the problem was the spaces [10:59] share, paste your actually command line [10:59] Benkinooby: maybe mplayer... (vlc probably too though I've never used that in a tty). Why bother though? [10:59] share, oh okay. so it works now? [10:59] yes [11:00] share, okay [11:00] share, you need to put that line in your .bashrc otherwise it's only good for this session [11:00] so alias came from linux.. i've always used them on irc clients [11:00] :P [11:00] oh [11:00] ok guys I have just put ubuntu on a machine and its using some RANDOM jap monitor I cant even say the make heh, and for some reason the screen is slightly offset to the right, is there a program you can use to tweak it into the right posistion? [11:00] jrib, i have a computer that is very slow. i want to run it with minimal install and tmux (it's like scree) adn was wondering if it was possible. [11:01] anygivenname: firefox is using a script that does that. theres a '--no-remote' (or similer option) that disables the feature [11:01] anygivenname: check firefox --help for details [11:01] Benkinooby: take the server img :p [11:01] then install what u want* [11:01] ok thanks [11:01] hi [11:01] any one help me [11:01] Benkinooby: X with a minimal window manager is too heavy for it? [11:02] how to install firefox 3.6 [11:02] sara2010, sudo apt-get install firefox [11:02] sara2010, should already be installed by default [11:02] is xvidtune the right prog for this? [11:03] Kingsy: ages ago you could use xmodeset but i think thats obsoleted these days. Check teh monitor controills also. [11:03] jrib, later i will install fluxbox unad see what's possible. but for now i want to see what i can do without X. until now i never really understood what a fraebuffer is (also the name framebuffer seems to be used for different things) and how the whole X system works (what's x, x11 are the the same thing? what's xorg? what is a display manager doing?) [11:04] xocolatl its removed [11:04] i hope i will learn something by doing so [11:04] i mean its currept [11:04] Dr_Willis - yea I will try the auto button on the monitor but if that doesnt work.. what would be my option? [11:04] i want remove this one [11:04] just a offtopic: I wish someone told me and/or force me to use Linux years ago. what i have missed! [11:04] and reinstall it [11:05] sara2010, you want to remove which one? [11:05] share, I thought the same when I discovered it :D [11:05] Kingsy: let me guess.. this is a CRT monitor? [11:05] its 3.0 [11:05] Dr_Willis - nope its LCD but its old and a weird make [11:05] i want remove it [11:06] and i want install 3.6 [11:06] how i can [11:06] Kingsy: Try the xrandr tools and xvidtune. could be the refresh rate is wrong also. but that would be weird. [11:06] i have download firefox-3.6.12.tar.bz2 [11:07] ok cheers I will try em and get back to ya [11:07] sara2010: there are ppa's of newer firefox versions.. or you can use that tar.bz [11:07] sara2010: so extract the acrhive, cd to the dir and run firefox.. no need to 'install' it from that archive [11:08] Hi. I can't boot Ubuntu from hard drive, and CDs don't boot at all. At this point, I'm not trying to save the computer, but it would be great if I could boot up at least once to copy over my data. The laptop doesn't boot from USB (old bios?) - could LAN boot help?

[11:13] sara2010: for starters what version of Ubuntu are you using? [11:13] sara2010: theres no need to MSG me. [11:14] how i can remove [11:14] firefox [11:14] what is the difference between installing google chrome from a .deb package downloaded from the Google website and installing it via Software Center? [11:14] I feel like my wireless network dongle isn't working at full capacity, is there a way to test that I have the 'best' drivers? or is googleing the only way to find more information? or is there a simple tool that someone has written [11:14] sara2010: You use teh various package manager tools such as synaptic, or software center to remove software. [11:15] rigved: the software center normally has a repo to access the thing. but i THINK the google deb may add its repo to the listing. so it proberly dosetn matter. [11:15] rigved: install the .deb and check your repository lising. see if googles repo has been added. [11:16] Dr Willis: no CD at all - tried several.

[11:16] i need to have one interface just on so the dhcp goes to my virtualbox interface [11:16] Dr Willis: correct [11:16] sara2010: its in the menus - 'ubuntu software center' - or use the 'synaptic' gui too, [11:17] help please [11:17] Dr_Willis: yes it has been added. but i cannot uninstall it even via Sfotware Center or Synaptic... [11:17] jenda: that weird that it cant boot at all from cd.. [11:17] Dr Willis: it just skips the boot from CD and tries to boot from HDD (and GRUB errors out), and if I disable HDD boot, it hangs on a black screen with a cursor indefinitely. [11:17] How can update and upgrade without using "sudo apt-get" all the time? [11:17] there is no way to remove by terminal ? [11:17] Dr Willis: agreed [11:17] Dr Willis: what do I need to boot from LAN? [11:17] sara2010: yes there is.. if yu know the exact package name.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:35] can u help me from first step? [11:35] ok simplest thing, why does my /etc/network/interfaces just show auth lo only while i have two card connected [11:35] everyrainyday: is this sharing between guest and host? [11:35] geboy: network manager takes care of your connectinos [11:35] Does anyone have any experience with network booting? I'm not really sure where to start, and yet it seems the only way to save my data without paying ridiculous amounts of money for data rescue. [11:35] no.2 computer in same level [11:36] everyrainyday: so just right click on a folder in nautilus, share [11:36] I have a computer available where I can boot from an Ubuntu live CD - if needed, I even have an older Ubuntu version installed. [11:36] jrib: any way i can edit them so that i can shut one off [11:36] geboy: you should be able to use the gui network configuration tool in your menus (don't know the path offhand) [11:36] what's the nautilus? [11:36] everyrainyday: the default file manager in ubuntu [11:36] can i do it with samba? [11:37] everyrainyday: that does it with samba [11:37] ok [11:37] jrib: on system-preferences-network connection. but i wanted to do some unusual thing tho [11:37] lol [11:37] everyrainyday: less think, just do [11:37] geboy: like? [11:38] jrib: i need to install a router os on virtualbox. and i have a cable modem connection. so one of my interface have to be just in the state of 'on' [11:38] can u give the comands for that [11:38] without asking ip address to the cable modem [11:38] /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable <--- how can I break the lock? [11:38] for doing it from terminal i mean [11:38] everyrainyday: I just told you how to do it by clicking on things. Did that not work? [11:38] everyrainyday: you don't need commands [11:38] !samba | everyrainyday [11:38] everyrainyday: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [11:38] so the routeros's dhcp client will get the cable modem dhcp server [11:38] suigeneris, this is debian? [11:38] lsof | grep config.dat didn't return anything [11:39] everyrainyday: sudo apt-get install samba [11:39] bazhang, ubuntu [11:39] suigeneris, which version [11:39] jrib: do you get the idea? [11:39] sagaci i do that already [11:39] bazhang, 10.10 [11:39] geboy: don't know. Though I think you can still just use the interfaces file if you want [11:39] suigeneris, is another package manager or instance of apt running? [11:39] bazhang, nope [11:39] everyrainyday: well what do you need commands for. you can just use the file manager to move and copy, share files [11:40] jrib: which take precedence? the interface file or network manager gui? [11:40] where can i find nautilus? [11:40] bazhang, but when I ssh'd in the other day, I had to close the shell because the ssh session froze [11:40] the file manager [11:40] everyrainyday, Places [11:40] everyrainyday, are you using gnome? [11:40] geboy: I haven't really looked into it. But I believe the interfaces file will. Maybe you have to disable the interface in network manager too to use the interfaces file -- not sure. [11:41] everyrainyday: it's the default, just go to Places and click a directory [11:41] jrib: ok let me play with it forawhile [11:41] How do I know if I have a PXE capable network card? [11:41] jrib: inthe mean time, thanks dude [11:41] geboy: try and boot off it, check your boot options [11:42] yes i'm gnome [11:42] geboy: or bios [11:42] using gnome [11:42] sagaci: what do you mean [11:42] bazhang, so? [11:42] everyrainyday: well if you're really having trouble, press ALT+F2 and then enter nautilus [11:42] !aptfix | suigeneris [11:42] suigeneris: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [11:43] geboy: when you start your computer, try and go into the bios setup [11:43] sagaci: what should i do in bios? [11:43] geboy: or check your motherboard manual [11:43] bazhang, same thing [11:43] geboy: well it might be enabled by default but look under Boot tab [11:43] acctually, i have achieve this in windows, you just turn of the ip checkbox in interface configuration [11:44] i make a shared file the way u told me with nautilus so should i see that in my windows? [11:44] everyrainyday: I doubt it [11:44] hi. i need some help with the catalyst settings. i change the scaling properties to "keep aspect ratio" for lower resolutions, but everytime i restart the settings are gone. How can i set it permanently? [11:44] what should i do? [11:44] everyrainyday: windows can't see ext partitions [11:44] geboy: can you achieve what you want by just telling network-manager to use a static ip? [11:45] so what's the sharing for? [11:45] the cable modem will not give ip address to the guest os tho [11:45] everyrainyday: linux to linux systems [11:45] everyrainyday: yeah, you should see the sharing in windows too [11:45] everyrainyday: or if you installed and used fat32 as the fs [11:45] where? [11:46] everyrainyday: I have no clue, ask ##windows [11:46] STILL trying to get my wireless PCI card on my desktop to work. It's installed, driver installed, no wireless tab. What's wrong?

Gnome has one built in, then theres others you could be using [12:21] cruelintension: the best way to learn is by using it, finding answers and asking questions when you need to and trying stuff out that doesn't contain sudo [12:21] I am hoping that there could be something in the config file of vnc server that would fix the 3/4 screen view of the vnc viewer [12:21] If I put sth. in my .profile (mac) how do i "source" it? [12:22] ok sagaci i will take ur idea [12:22] i am using tight vnc server [12:22] anygivenname: you are using the gnome built in vnc feature? or a specific vnc server like tightvnc, or vnc4server or tigervnc ? [12:22] once again thanks for helping out [12:22] couldnt find what you mentioned red2kic [12:22] yes Dr_Willis donsen't work boot [12:22] cruelintension: but in saying that there's heaps of youtube videos and websites that will offer you small tips to make your life easier [12:22] anygivenname: check the tightvnc docs, and the 'vncserver' script (it should be a script) it will mention its default configs and what files it checks for . theres proberly some configs in /etc/ for it. [12:22] Haegin, any idea how or where? [12:23] dean_: You can't find Startup Applications or Network Manager? Decide which desktop environment you like (Gnome, LXDE, KDE4, etc) and stay with it. [12:23] sure sagaci [12:23] roxdragon: i would say odds are that message is not related to the issue. theres somthing else makng it halt. you just happen to be seeing that message becuase normally it scrolls by so fast you dont see it. [12:23] dean_: If you can't find Network Manager -- then create one yourself with the command above. [12:23] dean_: nope, I've never used LXDE - try checking the LXDE documentation or googling 'LXDE autorun' [12:23] I am a noob so trying diff ones red2kic [12:23] cruelintension: books are often obviously outdated so you probably won't be buying many, maybe a pocket guide of linux commands if you want to try the terminal. The offical ubuntu book is not too bad, but all the information is on the internet [12:23] dean_: i would say stick to GNOME . unless you have a need for lxde. [12:23] !manual [12:23] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [12:24] Well Gnome seems a bit slow Dr_Willis [12:24] Dr_Willis: bah, what a boring way to use an OS. [12:24] dean_: disable compiz if you suystem cant handle it. [12:24] dean_: lxde is like gnome's hard mode [12:24] looping around [12:24] I thought LXDE was meant to be lightweight? [12:24] dean_: I'm out of here. Good luck. :) [12:24] hey there.. im on lubuntu.. now this is not an 'ubuntu' issue per se, but just wondering if someone knows how to (and if one can?) get rid of the black square on cairo docky? :) [12:25] Ok thanks red2kic [12:25] if i was to use lxde.. i may as well make my own desktop. :) Fluxbox + rox-filer, + a little launcher tool. [12:25] Dr_Willis, ok and how do I risovere [12:25] dean_: I thought ubuntu was meant to be user-friendly :P [12:25] dean_: lxde is lightweight. and lacking in some features. [12:25] do not know which file should be edited [12:25] Dr_Willis, +1 [12:25] sagaci: ubuntu is.. its users that are not computer-friendly. :) [12:25] dean_: it may not always turn out the way the crowd turns you [12:25] Such as Dr_Willis you seem to know your stuff? [12:25] dean_: i read, read, and read.. and explore... [12:26] Dr_Willis: +2, but only relative to other DEs [12:26] dean_: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=111&f=8 [12:26] dean, try and be ocncise eh [12:26] I was using linux mint but preferred ubuntu [12:26] concise* [12:26] Dr_Willis: at least this isn't a rtfm channel [12:26] dean_: that's a forum thread about what you want to do [12:26] sagaci: that would be #archlinux :) [12:26] Dr_Willis: I dare not enter [12:26] sagaci: heh.. I still info from their wiki pages all the time. [12:26] still... anyone know if one can get rid of the compositing problem wth lubuntu , cairo docky and vmware? [12:26] soul: use a window manager other then openbox perhaps. [12:26] mmm, any way to view streaming media (from the net) on multiple PC's on the same network without 'downloading it' multiple times, all boxes running ubuntu [12:27] sagaci: reading the manuals does actually solve around 40% of questions asked in channels [12:27] ye i tried xcompmgr? metacity , some other donk [12:27] Dr_Willis: ubuntu is aimed at being good for people not used to computers or linux. that doesn't mean you can't take it further and experiment with it. [12:27] wildc4rd: you might be able to set up a cacheing server/proxy - but that might not work for streams. [12:27] but ye.. I want ot keep lightweight so openbox /lxde is somethign i wish to keep.. if it is a no go then nvm , ill chuck out the cairo [12:28] soul: theres other docks out there that dont use compositing i belive. [12:28] soul: normally compiz requires a vaguely decent graphics thing and vmware provides a vaguely crap graphics thing so I'd guess the problem was with that [12:28] soul: i also find virtualbox works better then vmware for me. [12:28] AWN? is the only one i didnt try and yes, I was in vbox, but right now, as it stands (cos of 500 typical small errors i always can produce with combos), I am remastering in windows host [12:28] It appears I dont have permission for auto run [12:29] besides, I like vmware for when I upgrade soon this computer :/ [12:29] Dr_Willis: what is the diffirince between vmware and virtual box [12:29] dean_: what are you trying to do? [12:29] aeon-ltd: yeah but IRC mods need day jobs :) [12:29] dean_: as in, which command gives the permissions error? [12:29] I am trying to auto run nm-applet [12:29] Haegin, yes I presume the same.. just wanted ot hceck here if it was some 'common fix' for it [12:29] thank anyway :) [12:29] /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart [12:30] soul: I'd try google for that - chances are someone has documented the problem at least even if they didn't solve it [12:30] dean_: ok, that's because you don't have permission to write to stuff outside your home dir [12:30] annihilator, they are two different implementations of virtualisation protocols.. hmm, like amd/intel, python/perl, ati/nvidia.. etc ;) [12:30] dean_: you need sudo outside your ~/ [12:30] Hi. My question is about local mail system... Things like "sudo: This incident will be reported" and local email is sent to someone. I have installed desktop ubuntu (hardy). Does server installation have the local mail system enabled and setup? Can I easy enable it for my desktop installation? (I know a little about logcheck and similar packages. I could install such packages but I also want to take advantage if server installation ha [12:30] is there a way to get rid of this mouse freezing dute to psmouse.c?? [12:30] dean_: if you want to create an autostart application for nm-applet then put a nm-applet.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ [12:30] mmm4m5m,google for : the perfect [mail] serverhardy [12:30] * mmm4m5m I have postfix installer, but not setup yet [12:31] you should find enough info there [12:31] due* [12:31] Dr_Willis, ok and how do I solve? [12:31] soul: thanks, will check that [12:31] mmm4m5m: dpkg-reconfigure postfix (set up: local delivery only) [12:31] Now you've lost me Haegin [12:31] dean_: if you're comfortable using a cli text editor, try sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart [12:31] dean_: make it look something like the snippet in http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=111&f=8#p283 [12:31] annihilator: differnt tools that do similer jobx.. I perfer vbox these days.. years back i perfered vmware [12:31] llutz_: thanks! [12:31] roxdragon: Hard to tell what to do if you just get a system hanging . You have tried the recovery mode/options in the grub menu? [12:32] vbox the winner these days [12:32] Dr_Willis, yes indeed, vmware is behind atm vbox on linux hosts... but still is an overall better product (on windows as i happened ot log in on now) [12:32] dean_: press alt+f2 and type 'gedit ~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop' in the box [12:32] still need this f***** windows piece of go***** sh*T due to the odd game ! [12:32] that should run a text-editor which will let you edit a file [12:32] god i hate them, not gonna get into that now though [12:32] soul: i basically gave up om vmware a year+ ago. havent tried it since. [12:32] Dr_Willis, opposite fo rme, was on vbox till past months on vmware, now i like both for certain situations [12:33] vmware just has a bette roverall interface imo [12:33] more informative [12:33] and responsive [12:33] (but i like both) [12:33] Unable to execute Haegin [12:33] sigh, the only thing though im looking forward too, is the proper virtualisation of gpu's :/ [12:34] lol soul [12:34] Failed to execute child process "gedit~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop" (No such file or directory) [12:34] anyway, back ot hacking this lxde thi gy ^^ [12:34] lol what annihilator , my rant on MS? [12:34] ;) [12:34] hey sould you eat any souls lately? [12:34] yea [12:34] I tend to annihilate them more annihilator ;) [12:35] i would like to see a better virt. on gpus as well..... [12:35] * annihilator like soul eater [12:35] it'll be there (as in a significant step in about a year) [12:35] hi I'm on live cd ubuntu 10.10 anyway to record my installation [12:35] at least they alow you to change the memory for the vid card [12:35] Haegin, this is what I got Failed to execute child process "gedit~/.config/autostart/nm-applet.desktop" (No such file or directory) [12:35] another bottleneck is disk I/O but ah well, vm's still are a bl***y gift from god tbh ^^ [12:36] that used to not be there a few years back [12:37] dean_: space inbetween gedit and the ~ [12:37] next upgrade ill go the 870 chip i think, with a SSD , 6-8 ram and tbh, I'm getting too old for playig often games, so all in all I dont bother that much.. it's just when we can't enable even somewhat 'basic' effects which gets to me [12:37] dean_: ok, open nautilus and make the directory .config [12:37] then inside that make the directory autostart [12:38] then inside that make a text file called nm-applet.desktop and edit it [12:38] soul you can never be to old to play games [12:38] and another gdm crash [12:38] especially ubuntu games [12:38] microsoft windows [12:38] ubiquitous1980: what about it [12:39] Where do I make the directory Haegin [12:39] just thought I would say that... [12:40] annihilator, I know.. but its more time than age, and due to society being as it is, time availability is loosely proportional to age [12:40] ;x [12:41] so when you hit 60 your play more games? [12:41] lol [12:41] I give up lol [12:41] kinda a bit like the age of a fit bird is inversely proportional to one's age ;) [12:41] prolly, annihilator [12:41] you can fit as a bird till the day you die [12:41] !ot [12:41] #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! [12:41] unless by then, all inet is virtualised, so gaming/surfing/computing are all the same soup ^^ [12:41] Gives up due to a typo in his command.. oh well.. [12:42] lol .. aaah poor Dr_Willis :) [12:42] having massive problems with libgtk-1.2 [12:42] true i could just see all of our brains being transfered to ubuntu 50.10 [12:42] lol [12:42] anyway, enough chitchat i think in a busy cvhan... Im now forced to go through and uninstall all the dependencies [12:42] i am stuck d/ling a windows file for ubuntu [12:43] back to reading up on the gnome-do alternative Kupfer --> http://live.gnome.org/Kupfer/Tips [12:43] when trying to launch epsxe I get error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot read file data: Error 21 [12:43] well kubuntu but no one is really in kubuntu [12:44] I've symlinked /usr/lib/libgtk-2.0 to /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2 [12:44] annihilator: how big is the file [12:44] not exactly sure it should be aroung 3megs tops [12:44] hmm, btw.. is there a 'dockly' someone knows off, which works with lxde in a vm then? [12:45] can some one tell me what's these commands for?: setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1 [12:45] mynameistux: no kidding!! gtk-2.0 is not = to gtk-1.2!! [12:45] i just saw someoen say one could use gnome-do and have it as a docky but dont think thats for lxde but gnome [12:45] anyway, i hate gnome-do (its so borky on my lucid 64) [12:45] well I can't FIND gtk-1.2 [12:45] i <3 docky [12:45] can you direct me to the original file [12:45] why the F do my ATI drivers make my desktop jerky [12:45] there is your answer mynameistux : do a find recursively and look for gtk [12:45] libgtk-1.2 [12:46] while the stock keep it ok [12:46] cos umair , ATI suck when it comes to open source ;p [12:46] GTK IS EVERYWHERE [12:46] ATI has made my life hell [12:46] with "libgtk-1.2" obviously mynameistux [12:46] soul you maybe right [12:46] soul: using kupfer here now instead of docky/gnome-do. the 2 should work in most any WM. [12:46] what's this for? setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1 [12:46] * annihilator <3 his nvidia gpu [12:46] so "find libgtk-1.2" [12:46] but with the stock ubuntu drivers my card is over heating any reason for that soul [12:47] will that search my whole system? [12:47] no, I am right... ATI has atm some horsehead on nvidia but only in some gaming views.. in terms of broadness , they barely released their specs recently pfff [12:47] it's for sharing but i'm not sure what does it do? setsebool -P smbd_disable_trans 1 [12:47] hmm mynameistux one sec: [12:47] no it wont , give me a sec [12:47] this god damn library is giving me the **** [12:48] Hi, I've recently had an issue with some programs where when i mouse over them, gdm crashes. These specific applications consistently do this, as i mouse over them, when i run them. The list includes VLC Player 1.1.4, burg-manager 1.0, clementine 0.5.3, and MountManager 0.2.3 [12:48] soul even in gaming nvidia is doing good and in ubuntu/kubuntu nvidia has alreasy seemed to do good [12:48] and as far as my d/l problem i fixed it [12:48] cyrano_: mouse over them? You mean the X server crashes back to GDM? [12:48] yea as far as gaming im running fallout new vegas in maverick [12:48] annihilator .. i would go with ATI as far is quality of hardware is concerned .. my nvidia GPU's died frequently but with LINUX ATI SUX [12:48] @Dr_Wiliis correct [12:48] mynameistux, look up find -help , although I can't see the recursive option : at the root /, you do a reursive search, but ya.. I havent been on linux for bloody ages tbh [12:49] the file i am d/ling is not available [12:49] cyrano_: thats not really GDm crashing then. could be a video driver issue. [12:49] i tried d/ling it inwindows....errored out [12:49] umair: it depends on the card you have too [12:50] cyrano_, I havent pld a game other than hmm tetris in linux haha... hmm so its getting that goopd enough, those BA*****RD MS LOOBBBYING MOTH****FU****S then with their corrupt bribery is loosenign the grip on hardware manufgacturers?? [12:50] ouch [12:50] mynameistux: merry christmas: https://launchpad.net/~adamkoczur/+archive/gtk1.2?field.series_filter=maverick [12:50] soul, watch the language [12:50] Hello; I've installed Gentoo (/dev/sda5) through this Ubuntu installation. I ran sudo update-grub in my Ubuntu installation and it appeared to find the XP install, this Ubuntu install and the Gentoo install (Found Gentoo Base System release 1.12.14 on /dev/sda5) but when I re-boot there is nothing about Gentoo in the menu. Help? [12:51] annihilator: i had cards from different companies .. but i just can explain this problem with ATI i use default drivers and my desktop and videos arent jerky but they overheat .. when i download the drivers from ATI the heating problem is gone but everything is jerky [12:51] umair, I personally always was happier with my nvidia's.. ati cards always had some kind of glitches, but ye, I see they apparently have taklen over a bit (except for the gtx 480 ;p) [12:51] It will be interesting to see what ATI/Nvidia do with the move to 'wayland' [12:51] I think I owe you a beer [12:51] Dr_Willis: i didn't have the issue with lucid and i was running the same driver at the time i only recently in the past few hours upgraded the nvidia driver [12:51] uhuhuh [12:51] huhuhu [12:51] huhuhuhu [12:51] uhu [12:51] u [12:51] con-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:52] sorry bazhang though the *'s did the trick.. I just have some very personal reasons for hating them [12:52] Dr_Willis: I read in the last Linux Format that nVidia had said they do not plan on supporting Wayland .. Kinda spooked about that move myself .. [12:52] i agrea soul umair imo it has to deal with the driver integration into linux [12:52] soul, no. no use of * either. just don't. [12:52] I've heard that it's better to use open source drivers vs proprietary drivers for better functionality, is that true in ATI's case? [12:52] FloodBot4, sorry, it's early, I'm tired, and in pain from having my appendix out. Also, I'm talking to a bot. :S [12:52] got ya [12:52] NineTeen67Comet: they can always change their mind.. we will ahve to wait and see. [12:52] ye, that bot doesnt really understand jokes.. it asked me what colour is a blue butterfly, in whic ni replied donkey? [12:53] * annihilator wants to spam the * [12:53] CookiesnMilkz: for many ati cards these days.. you cant use their Properitary drivers any more. [12:53] Dr_Willis: Yeah .. waiting has never been my strong point .. heheheh .. [12:53] Thanks soul and annihilator .. but i believe i need to go and pee on ATI now [12:53] lol [12:53] ati doesn't do a swell job keeping up their drivers as my laptop driver is not compatible with the latest kernels install on ubuntu [12:54] im sorry not kernel but xorg [12:54] * NineTeen67Comet Never have like the ATI (or AMD) folks anyhow .. [12:54] i like that about nvidia [12:54] CookiesnMilkz, sometimes yes.. I do not have specific examples, LOL umair.. nah... nvidia and ati turned out back in the day when nvidia were the kings.. to have both their specific advantages the other chipsets just wont do or have... so its hard to say one or the other [12:54] i can even use nvidia drivers for my laptop [12:54] CookiesnMilkz .. true that ask me ... the proprietary driver over heat my card [12:54] now who the F told ATI to not test their drivers on Ubuntu or make them so as to burn the persons card [12:54] no more reling on dell or ubuntu resp to get my driver [12:55] microsoft [12:55] umair micrsoft told ati that [12:55] Anyone know a trick to get grub2 to actually write the grub.cfg file to include the other OS it sees? (It notes my gentoo installation; but doesn't populate grub2 with that information) .. [12:55] could resist that [12:55] I think uu have to reach into 5770 before ati has a few cards which r better deals than nvidia, but anythign below and nvidia is overall better imo... [12:56] annihilator .. Forever Alone Microsoft will be one day :) [12:56] upwards ati has a horse head adv. up till the 460+ [12:56] i hope distro upgrade does md5sum on the download first... [12:56] hi all [12:56] not even the 5770 work that well unless you are running windows only [12:56] hello i have a FTP connection problem.....i FTP to a server i only login then it stop working....but with FTP to server with windows and everything works.....i tryed direct and passiv mode.... [12:56] Mines a 5750 D: it must suck [12:56] NineTeen67Comet, yes, there is a nice grub2 file in the ubuntu wikis or so I think, which opened my eyes, to customisations.. but I dont know [12:56] i love my 8600m gt [12:56] yes CookiesnMilkz the 5750.. the GTS 2XX form a good brand will be better [12:57] soul have you seen the new cards? [12:57] for the 3xx and 4xx cards [12:57] other solutions as well from the nvidia.. 5750 unless its a goood memory chip along with it and an expensive one, it isnt realyl what one thought it would be [12:57] I added that repo, but I still can't find it in the repos [12:57] well, what is 'new'? [12:57] yes I did an apt-get update [12:57] need help resetting my passwords on mysql : all google finds dont work :/ [12:57] soul: think I hit that'n up already, but I'll go back and look. I know it had the option to "NOT" look for other OSes. [12:57] I have an ATI 3870 .. Bought it a year back and funny but they worked much better with older proprietary drivers and Ubuntu :O [12:57] I build computers now and then for people so yes somewhat [12:57] How can I move the bar title like this ( it's on the left side instead of top ) -> http://ompldr.org/vMzhhMQ [12:58] make it 2 years back [12:58] doe distro upgrade do md5sum? [12:58] 446 is a sweet card it is the latest in gaming and 3d graphics on a laptop === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc [12:59] its really not about the cards being better tho cause they are equally good it depends on the applications tho [12:59] cause my 8600 does better than a 9600 imo for gaming and for linux [12:59] setting up eternallands-data [12:59] and running vmware [12:59] since we r talking abt this.. i have onboard nvidia chipset.. would nvidia drivers perhaps help that docky kick off?

[13:01] annihilator, yes but it also depends not only on the gpu chip, but the bus speeds and bandwidth on the card, the RAM specs and heating solutions, and the base clock speed etc [13:01] when i try install some code, ubuntu always try to first download -- twinmoons.org.uk...data.zip [13:01] that goes to the i7 with a 4xx sli [13:01] lol [13:01] but in my homeland ,here , can't connect to twinmoons.org.uk [13:01] hello guys, how do I make Tomcat to not start automatically ?

I'm concerned with transferring persistent data from the USB to a new HDD dual boot installation. [14:23] candrea - which outputs? From when I terminated the appliation?

[14:34] but i should give windows appriciation for jumpstarted my knowledge using a thing called COMPUTER...lol [14:34] erUSUL: OK but I think evince is using my key instead of their public kye [14:34] s5s: once you cipher a message with another persons public key. only that person can decipher it ( no even you that created the message can ). that's the whole point of the system [14:34] stevecoh1: yes - then restart Firefox [14:34] Yeats: Nvm found it, it was in cdrom. :D [14:34] well just a little bit...the rest goes to other open source software [14:34] cq75: good, now dpkg should work [14:34] ok [14:34] Llama: good - I wasn't sure what to advise ;-) [14:35] Yeats: Hmm. Odd. I can't create folders here, it's grayed-out. [14:35] s5s: i think you should learn a little bit more about public key encription/signing ;) [14:35] erUSUL: Exactly. However I can decypher it. How do I tell evince to use their public key? I tried ctrl + shift + s -> edit [14:35] erUSUL: yeah I know [14:35] candrea - less errors [14:35] Llama: if you're moving to a computer hard drive, is there a reason you need to edit the live USB? [14:35] s5s: evince? or evolution? [14:36] Yeats: Yes - I need it to transfer my packages and home folder. xD [14:36] candrea - http://paste.ubuntu.com/531215/ [14:36] candrea - sorry [14:36] candrea - wrong one.... one sec [14:37] hi, I tried the lsof thing, but it just gives me what server I have on what port, rather than list of connections inward [14:37] Llama: sounds like you're hoping that will happen automatically via the installer... is that your expectation? [14:37] wow great...i can even open photoshop in ubuntu... [14:37] erUSUL: sory evolution [14:37] Llama: if so, it won't ;-) [14:37] candrea - http://paste.ubuntu.com/531216/ [14:37] No, I'm manually transferring an exported list of my packages, and copying over my home directory manually. [14:37] Everything else should just be vanilla. [14:38] Llama: ok... so why are you editing files on your USB again? [14:38] candrea - it's giving me trouble about mail setups? [14:38] Because I need my USB to transfer that list of packages and my home directory. :P [14:38] As in I'll be using the same USB to install Ubuntu and copy my files over, albeit in two processes. [14:38] s5s: i do not know what are you trying to do... you created a message to some person ( not you ) you cipher it and you send it out. that person will be able to see it clear text in her evolution. you can see it but not in clear text in your sent messages folder. that's it [14:38] I just created another folder in the middle of Ubuntu's boot stuff for my own files. :) [14:39] Yeats, thanks, this worked. Your advice was good. So much bad advice out there. [14:39] Llama: ok... I still think there's a misunderstanding here... [14:39] Haha, what do you think I'm trying to do? [14:39] Llama: really, can you confirm that i can just remove my windows partition, move the linux partition to front and edit grub to make single ubuntu os on one pc? [14:39] stevecoh1: thanks! I try to only give good advice ;-) [14:39] cq75: the dpkg problem is resolved, now to let you continue I need to know: what were you trying to do? where you trying to install bsd-mailx? [14:40] Geboy: I am 110% unqualified to give you any advice about that whatsoever. [14:40] candrea - I was trying to install auto-apt [14:40] Llama: two steps 1) install Ubuntu on your hard drive, 2) move over your /home directory [14:40] Yeats: Affirmative. Using the same flash drive for both though. [14:40] Yeats: Need to copy my home directory to it, but Ubuntu is running off it right now. [14:41] hello, can i use rsync with ssh with a already defined password? [14:41] Yeats: Don't have read access to the drive apparently. Might be Ubuntu trying to cover its balls? [14:41] Llama: where is your home directory now? [14:41] cq75: then you don't need bsd-mailx, right? [14:41] no [14:41] On the USB, but embedded in Ubuntu, lol [14:41] Hello, my shitf up/down does not scroll on xterm, works using rxvt-unicode, any idea? thx [14:41] that is correct, I do not need bsd-mailx [14:41] Llama: you're making this harder than it is. [14:41] Rawrrr [14:41] (sorry, double negative) [14:41] Llama: just install Ubuntu [14:42] Llama: then we'll worry about moving your home directory [14:42] OH. [14:42] You're right. [14:42] Llama: but only after it's installed [14:42] :-) [14:42] Because my crap will still be here anyway. [14:42] Wow. Epic fail. [14:42] bai guys [14:42] Llama: no problem - I can see where you were going with it ;-) [14:42] xDD [14:42] bye istux [14:42] ubuntu 64bit, cannot sleep or suspend to memory. sata readahead error in acpi log [14:43] The beauty of persistent storage... -_-" [14:43] K, going to reboot/install. Hopefully won't be back. :) [14:43] cq75: 'apt-get remove bsd-mailx' should do the trick [14:43] Llama: good luck [14:43] Merci beaucoup :) [14:43] !factoids search * [14:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === genupulas is now known as rajasekhar [14:44] !bot | karthick87 [14:44] karthick87: Hi!

Where stores empathy the aliases of the icq numbers? [14:45] candrea - actually the package manager prompted me to run some sort of repair, and now it seems to be working fine [14:45] lol, ubottu is so funny =) [14:45] candrea - I was able to install GIMP === rajasekhar is now known as radhasekhar [14:45] eitch0000: she's dead handy though [14:45] how would you get windows media player on kubuntu? [14:45] i have a freenode irc account. how do i login now? [14:46] ActionParsnip: yes, that is true [14:46] annihilator: you could use wine, i'd ceck the appdb [14:46] Guaguasi: you send NickServ a indentify message [14:46] annihilator: there are thousands of media players for Linux, why do you want WMP? [14:46] i know wine but i ment will it be reconizable through other programs? [14:46] annihilator: are you asking because you want to play wmv files? or because you actually want the program? [14:46] cause of a program i use [14:46] what brand or type of videocard has the best Open Source driver support? [14:47] i use verizon media manager to play videos that are on my computer through my cable boxes [14:47] annihilator: you may have to make a script which accepts and arg to open a file with the wine app, it could be done assuming the app will install and run well [14:47] cq75: oh, good. Please note that this 'repair' probably has completed the installation of bsd-mailx and perhaps also the installation of postfix. If they are installed and if you don't need them, you can remove them [14:47] but the media manager requires wmp [14:47] berkes: intel and nvidia imho [14:47] i have a freenode irc account. how do i login now? [14:47] annihilator: ah... Frankly, I'd be surprised if you can get that working :-/ [14:47] annihilator: i'm guessing it needs DRM then..... [14:47] no [14:48] GauravButola, looks like you are logged in :) [14:48] annihilator: then any media player will do [14:48] verizon media manager uses wmp to play video files [14:48] ActionParsnip, hmm, here my nvidia is closed source. (restricted extras) [14:48] I just upgraded to 10.10, and now my wireless doesnt work. Any idea how I can resolve this issue? [14:48] berkes: you can use nv and nouveau too, nouveau isn't too shabby [14:48] but my delima is media manager only intigrates with wmp [14:48] so that is why i was asking [14:48] thanks, will look into nouveau, ActionParsnip. [14:49] joe85: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line for the wireless [14:49] but appearantly i am stuck either using mac or windows untill they come out with a linux release [14:49] BluesKaj: I didn't login yet, I have not entered my password so it means that I am logged in temporarily [14:49] annihilator, why not let the media player in ubuntu play the files [14:49] because verizon media manager [14:49] berkes: intel video chips have good open drivers [14:49] annihilator: I think you're right - it's vendor lock-in re: Verizon [14:49] ActionParsnip, thanks, that makes choosing the hardware a bit easier :P [14:49] GauravButola: send the following to nick serv for help: /msg NickServ help [14:50] annihilator: you could play with the OS so it THINKS its using WMP [14:50] rt73usb [14:50] verizon media manager is a program that allows a computer to share its files with their cable boxes but it requires windows media player to play them [14:50] berkes: if you check the HCL you can buy super compatible hardware and make life a LOT easier [14:50] but how would i trick a windows program? [14:50] I actually tried another wireless card because my original one wasnt working. I have two USB wireless cards and neither one of them works [14:50] annihilator: well if it's just files, then the other suggestions may be right - have you tried playing a file? [14:50] because when you install the media manager it failes on some of the install cause it says wmp cannot be found [14:51] joe85: websearch for the product line, not the driver, to find guides. You may just have to remove and reinstall the package for the driver. There may be a bug logged for it [14:51] yeats: i cannot properly install the manager program cause wmp is not installed [14:51] can anyone tell me how to logout using terminal/ [14:52] annihilator: is there a way to transfer the actual files from VMM to your Kubuntu PC? [14:52] annihilator: (the media files, I mean) [14:52] vmm does not hold the files [14:52] the videos are on the computer [14:53] vmm just creates a playlist for the cable box to read [14:53] ace_steel: gnome-session-save --logout-dialog may do it [14:53] oh - I see [14:53] and then uses wmp to decode the files [14:53] or in another program in macs case [14:53] ActionParsnip, thnx...i m gonna try it [14:54] annihilator: you may be able to hack something together to do what you need [14:54] ActionParsnip, i am using Xfce environment... [14:54] but i need to have a wmp script of sorts to just let the program install.... [14:54] annihilator: if you do, you'll learn an awful lot about video file formats ;-) [14:55] ive learned what i needed to learn when decoding and encoding mkv files [14:55] i have installed two ubuntu copies and i want to delete the one in sd5, how can i delete it from grub first ? [14:55] but what i need to learn is to has a wmp look alike so verizon program can isntall [14:55] hash* [14:55] annihilator, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20993 [14:55] ActionParsnip:i am using Xfce environment..so its not wrking [14:56] mkaroukg1: just uninstall it, then run update-grub from the other ubuntu which you have kept. it get deleted from the grub menu [14:56] ace_steel: xfce is based on GTK [14:56] ace_steel: let me see what I can find [14:57] annihilator: BluesKaj beat me to it - I just found that same link [14:57] lol [14:57] ace_steel: in addition to asking here, you can also get help regarding Xubuntu here - #xubuntu on chat.freenode.net [14:57] Can someone help me with a segfault I am getting in a simple commandline scientific calculator app?

[15:02] rigved, can i delete the partition without modifying the grub? [15:02] ActionParsnip: that works, thanks, but do you know why it's not working for ctrl+shift+v/c or how to set it? everything I've found online seems to indicate that those key combos are defaults. [15:03] mfaroukg1: first uninstall/delete the ubuntu copy on sda5. then boot into the other ubuntu (which you have kept), and type in the terminal - sudo update-grub. this will update the grub menu. [15:03] geboy: find what? find/grep [15:03] mfaroukg1: yes you can [15:03] ace_steel: dunno about xmonad specifically, but try awesomeWM as well [15:03] llutz_: find a file or directory [15:03] !find [15:03] Search for a package or a file: !find [15:03] geboy: use find [15:03] ›/join #xterm [15:04] rigved, this is easier than windows :), thanks [15:04] mfaroukg1: you are welcome.

[15:27] slgma: that will give you natty [15:27] hi guys, i need to print the stuff that i see within gnome terminal. how do i do that? [15:27] natty? [15:28] rigved: 32MB [15:28] slgma: natty narwal, Ubuntu 11.04 [15:28] newnick2010: copy it to a text file [15:28] mhall119: that should be enough [15:28] i dont want that [15:28] newnick2010: pipe it to a .txt file [15:28] i want 10.10 [15:28] slgma: -d == development version [15:28] wtf [15:28] it says 10.10 [15:28] when i hit the button [15:28] !natty | sigma [15:28] sigma: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is pre-alpha and is not intended for production systems. [15:28] nothingspecial, UserX7: is that the only option? bcs. thats not practical :( [15:29] slgma: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades so the prompt is normal instead of lts [15:29] slgma, think of those as public betas. better be careful with those. [15:29] newnick2010: why? what`s the problem [15:29] i just want to upgrade to 10.10 [15:29] how do i do that :( [15:29] slgma: then save the new file and run: sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade [15:29] I am trying to open an encrypted message sent to me in evolution but it will not automaticly open, it comes up as an attachment (.dat fle) but recognises the mime type PGP/MIME-encrypted message-header attachment. How do i get it to automaticly decode the message, I have already added my key ID to the account prefrances. [15:29] slgma: you will need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade to edit the file [15:30] i'd like just to press CTRL+P, like in tn5250, when it's started with the +local_print_key option :thumbup: [15:30] 10.10 is what i want right [15:30] maverick? [15:30] slgma: an alternative way (pun intended) is to use the alternate ISO [15:30] slgma, the way you could upgrade is if you pass on every distro and that is messy. [15:30] newnick2010: sorry didn't mean pipe. for example, ls: ls -la >> ls.txt, then print it. works fine? [15:30] slgma: yes 10.10 is maverick [15:31] I lost the 3 typical button to maximise, close and mimize in Mozilla. My son was typing away and somehow got rid of them. When it open, it takes the full screen and the only way to close it is by using the menu File-exit. Anyone know how to fix it? [15:31] .gnome2/evince/print-settings <-- can someone paste their config for evince? [15:31] db_loco: press F11 to switch to normal from fullscreen mode [15:31] paddy_: what happens when you click on the email? [15:31] db_loco: F11 [15:31] rigved: no luck [15:31] ActionParsnip, the file you told me to edit doesnt exist [15:31] i want to check against mine. it's not working for me [15:32] wow! that's it, i tried df -h > lp.log and then lp lp.log [15:32] all right, i can live with that [15:32] UserX7 thanks a lot! [15:32] UserZ7: Thanks! === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [15:32] slgma: sorry, /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [15:32] newnick2010: note that > will overwrite. >> will append to the file [15:32] UserX7: Thanks [15:32] newnick2010: pipe it to lpr eg df -h | lpr [15:32] UserX7: all right, i knew that already [15:33] rigved: It tells me there is one attachment [15:33] what do i change ActionParsnip [15:33] mhall119: hmmm... can you start virtual box from the terminal? [15:33] its set to prompt=normal [15:33] ActionParsnip : Thanks a lot [15:33] rigved: maybe, but would that tell me anything? [15:33] nothingspecial: yeah! that's more practical! i'll work like that. thanks [15:33] slgma: ok then the file is ready, just run the 2 comamnds I gave [15:33] newnick2010: np :) [15:33] slgma: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade [15:34] paddy_: download the attachment and then try to decrypt this .dat file [15:34] it gave me the same error [15:34] as it did with the gui version [15:34] ill apstebin it [15:34] sec [15:34] slgma: thanks [15:34] mhall119: any errors that occur will be output to the terminal [15:34] I don't think it's a virtualbox error though [15:34] paddy_: also, do you have gpg-agent installed? [15:35] it'll draw the mouse cursor on the guest, and sometimes the background image too [15:35] I think it's a video problem on the guest (daily) [15:36] rigved: rigved I have read encrypted mail before with evolution [15:36] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/VYTis0Fh [15:36] mhall119: that maybe too, as it's a daily build. you can file this as a bug in debian-installer. [15:36] only error i see from the guest is piix4_smbus error [15:37] and I seem to remember having them up until RC last release [15:37] rigved: It is installing now, what does it do? [15:37] paddy_: have you read encrypted mail before sent from this user? is it possible that the sender took the wrong public key? [15:37] rigved: done [15:37] paddy_: it is required to encrypt and decrypt [15:37] rigved: definatly have right key, i checked the id [15:38] paddy_: restart evolution and try again === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [15:38] rigved: still wont work, might it be anything to do with the 'dat' extention [15:39] slgma: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/606492 [15:39] slgma: try: sudo apt-get -f install http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/59318-package-problem-broken-dependency-more.html [15:40] paddy_: i just want to clear one thing - is the entire message encrypted or only the attachment? [15:40] k done action, now try upgrading again? [15:40] rigved: everthing is encrypted, there is no message being displayed atm [15:41] rigved: this is what I get: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/440/nattytesting.png [15:41] * paddy_ cant type because hands are cold [15:41] so it must be a video, X or WM problem with the daily build [15:41] paddy_: so, when you click on the message, does evolution say "Formatting message" and is stuck there? [15:41] same error ActionParsnip [15:41] :( [15:41] brb [15:42] * mhall119 will wait for the next daily build and try again [15:42] mhall119: switch to vt1 and type sudo cat /dev/vcs7 to see for any problems hidden by X [15:42] how do i enable deskbar on xfce? === Auv5[Away] is now known as Auv5 [15:42] alkisg: how do I switch to vt1 in virtualbox? [15:42] mhall119: right ctrl+1 [15:42] *f [15:42] *f1 :( [15:42] oh sweet! [15:43] rigved: no it just has the attachment list [15:43] alkisg: it shows the text-mode alternative to plymouth, then the smbus error [15:44] mhall119: are you able to save the items in the download list? [15:44] i'm trying to eject a cd from my cd drive, but ubuntu 10.10 keeps claiming that one or more volumes on the device are busy (i'm not using it). how can I get it to eject, or find out what is claiming to be using it? [15:44] rigved, help, i got grub rescue when i rebooted [15:45] Travis-42: you could try "lsof | grep media" or something [15:45] rigved: what? [15:45] mhall119: if yes, then you can decrypt these from the terminal... [15:45] looking for offline content, like Wikipedia, I can install for a zero-day noob that wants to play with his computer until he gets online. Any suggested packages? [15:45] rigved, it says not such partition [15:45] mhall119: sorry [15:46] paddy_: are you able to save the items in the download list? if yes, then you can decrypt these from the terminal... [15:46] everything was working and the computer was shut down incorrectly, it may have corrupted something coz the audio is not working, how to i reconfigure audio [15:46] mfaroukg: which partitions did you delete? [15:46] rigved: I just decrypted it manualy on the command line but i would still like evolution to be able to do it, as i said it has done it before [15:47] rigved, the one i suppose to delete sd5 and its swap partition [15:47] paddy_: it can only decrypt emails, not attached items, as far as i know [15:48] mfaroukg: and you surely did not delete the wrong swap partition? [15:48] rigved, yes because it was in the same order and i did not touch the working ones [15:48] Using the "NetworkManager Applet", has anyone successfully connected to a pptp vpn network? I'm not able to no matter what settings I used. Using the same hostname/username/password info that I have, I was able to do this on windows. But cant get this to work in a distro based on ubuntu. [15:49] audio was working but not anymore, how do I reconfigure [15:49] unmute ? :) [15:49] is there a 64bit ubuntu netbook version [15:49] !VPN | Ibyss [15:49] Ibyss: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [15:50] tecnico: what ? [15:50] jk [15:50] rigved, what should i put in the prompt of the grub rescue ? [15:50] tecnico: :p [15:50] Hi ! [15:50] mfaroukg: ok. if it's giving you a grub rescue CLI, then something must be wrong. do you have the LiveCD. it can do recovery from it. [15:50] mfaroukg: one moment [15:50] hi all [15:50] rigved, Okay i am waiting [15:51] is there a 64bit ubuntu netbook version? [15:51] i hate that they removed alsaconf, that wasn't clever :/ [15:51] archer, yes [15:53] mfaroukg: ls [15:53] mfaroukg: what;s the output for that? [15:53] xjkx: I think ubuntu uses pulseaudio intead of alsa now.. look for some pulseaduio tools there might be an equivalent to alsaconf [15:53] archer psusi UNE netbook is only 32 bit. [15:54] http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [15:54] tecnico: thanks [15:54] xjkx: or you'll most likely find some config icon on the control panel if you are using the gui [15:55] rigved, it is (hd0) (hd0, msdos6)(hd0,msdos5)(hd0,msdos2)(hd0, msdos1) [15:55] I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04. And now my wireless does not work. The strange this is neither of my wireless cards work. [15:55] ///////clear [15:55] joe85: what card do you have? [15:56] hello. Is there an easy way to remove the nvidia-driver and at the same time install the Nouveau-one in Ubuntu 10.10? And does it matter that I did an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and no clean install? [15:56] Does anyone know how to get 9.04 to work with FireWire? [15:56] mfaroukg: it seems that there is no partition which can have ubuntu on it... [15:56] I'm having a bit of a dull sound output when I installed ubuntu from any song I play (or audio stream I run), compared to the original iMAc sound output [15:56] is there any way to adjust the treble/bass ? [15:57] rigved, Okay !! [15:57] If a person wants me to send him an email to abc@something.com and he gives me a gpg key but the email he has used to register his key in gpg.mit.edu is different from abc@something.com can I still encrypt the email with this key? === Willie_ is now known as Guest49620 [15:57] Mrokii: just uninstall the nvidia one, ubuntu automatically falls down to nouveau [15:57] tecnico: thanks i solved with the gui [15:57] mfaroukg: ideal output (example) - (hd0) (hd0,1) (hd0,5) where (hd0,5) has ubuntu [15:57] great [15:57] rigved, shall i reinstall the ubuntu? [15:58] hi. I need to type in my password 4 times after every boot since I upgraded to maverick. before I had to type it in once. how can I fix that? [15:58] mfaroukg: yet, check if any have ubuntu... [15:58] hello [15:58] nbca: Okay. Is there a way to test if the Nouveau-driver is installed? [15:58] I'm having problems with my display driver on a fresh installation. [15:58] nbca: What I meant was: Is there a way to make sure that the Nouveau-driver is activated after I have de-installed the nvidia-driver? [15:59] mfaroukg: ls (hd0,msdos6)/boot [15:59] I get a garbled screen on startup. [15:59] rigved, Okay wait a sec [15:59] Mrokii: the driver comes with the kernel... [15:59] I'm not sure which version of ubuntu I'm running. [15:59] Mrokii: moreover if it has a package check synaptic [15:59] brb [15:59] mfaroukg: ls (hd0,msdos5)/boot [15:59] any idea how I can fix this? [15:59] mfaroukg: ok [16:00] whoa, weird... why the hell did they not spin an amd64 build of netbook? everything for it is in the repos... I installed the netbook packages on a normal 64 bit desktop install... [16:00] nbca: Ah, okay. [16:00] psusi: just install the x64 desktop version [16:01] psusi: it can support netbooks too [16:01] I tried a a different combinations of boot options, but nothing seemed to work. [16:01] * psusi isn't installing anything... just surprised to learn there is no 64 bit install cd for netbook [16:01] nomemset xforcevesa vga=xxx, etc.. [16:02] rying to download from software center..ir keeps giving me error saying check my internet connection? [16:02] Theta: it's "nomodeset". Is that installed on the hard disk? [16:02] rigved, it has long output "./../grub/Syatem.map ...abi ... config... memtest ,, memtest ... vmcoreinfo.... vm.... initrd... [16:03] oh, sory, that's what I tried. yes, it's installed on disk. [16:03] I don't have the installation CD at the moment. [16:03] Theta: do you get a grub menu? [16:03] yes [16:03] no automatically, but I force it by holding shift. [16:03] mfaroukg: does the output also have*.mod files? [16:03] not automatically* [16:03] Theta: it should say the ubuntu version there afaik. And you can use the recovery mode to boot it to cli and further troubleshoot it (e.g. see what vga you have) [16:04] rigved, no it doesn't === rbniknej is now known as jenkinbr [16:04] it says ubuntu7. I tried the recovery mode, it didn't make any difference. [16:04] the startup was more verbose, but then it gave me the garbled screen. [16:04] how do I use FireWire in ubuntu [16:04] another question: Do I have to restart the system after I de-activated the nvidia-driver? [16:04] mfaroukg: ok. next try - ls (hd0,msdos5)/boot [16:04] Theta: Ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10 are too old, you should upgrade. The recovery mode didn't give you a text menu with some options? [16:05] need help.... compiz issue [16:05] no, it didn't. [16:05] I'm downloading 10.10, but trying to get the current installation to work while it downloads.. [16:05] rigved, no mod files again , are these the boot sequences ? [16:05] ciao ragazzi [16:06] mfaroukg: these are required [16:06] Theta: well if it doesn't boot at all and you don't have a live CD, there's only little you can do (e.g. pass init=/bin/sh in the kernel params). Better wait for the download to finish. [16:06] mfaroukg: next - ls (hd0,msdos2)/boot and ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot [16:06] rigved, are they deleted accidentally ? [16:07] another weird thing: I got a shell using break=init in the boot options, and I can't find an xorg.conf under /etc/x11/ [16:07] rigved, output is unknown filesystem [16:07] can't even find an x11 under /etc [16:07] mfaroukg: maybe but not likely [16:07] Theta: that's the busybox shell, it's not your real system. You could run "chroot /root" to see the live system from there. [16:07] hmmm, ok. I'll try that. thanks. [16:07] rigved, shall i reinstall the ubuntu now? [16:08] mfaroukg: so msdos6 and msdos5 have ubuntu installed on them. we can try to recover from this. so you want to? [16:08] trying to get wlan working on my PackarBell Easynote laptop. The wlan module is 3945ABG and everything else seems to work except when I try to connect it wont. Neither on crypted or uncrypted AP. Dmesg will spit out several lines of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531249/ Any thoughts? [16:08] rigved, are you okay with that ? i am not so expert in the linux [16:08] is there an add-on in firefox that handles invalid domains typed in the address bar? it's going to searchassist.teoma.com..... [16:09] delac is that that right mac address for your AP? [16:09] roygbiv: no, why? [16:10] well, then your wireless card is talking to the wrong AP [16:10] Is there a recommended directory to put git in (git init) ? [16:10] mfaroukg: ok. but before we do that, one file has to be present - /boot/grub/linux.mod [16:10] roygbiv: I mean I changed it on purpose :) [16:10] aah! ok [16:10] roygbiv: otherwise it's ok [16:11] alkisg: still can't find xorg.conf, but anyway, now that I have a proper shell, is there nothing I can do to fix my display driver? [16:11] mfaroukg: .mod files are modules which are installed [16:11] nothing is listed in kino under Preferences/IEEE 1394/AV/C Device why? [16:11] rigved, i think the modules are no more exist [16:11] Theta: I don't think it's a display driver problem, since you're not even getting the recovery menu which is before X [16:12] alkisg: then what could it be?! [16:12] rigved, as we could see in our practice with grub rescue [16:12] Theta: what graphics card do you have? lspci -nn -k | grep -A 2 VGA [16:12] anyone on right clicking on this kind of touchpad? http://yfrog.com/72ttkhj I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and it's a HP Probook 4420s [16:12] mfaroukg: if you do not want to recover any data from the lost partitions, then go for a clean install of ubuntu [16:13] rigved, i don't have anything important there , but will it be reserved for that old ubuntu and will give me problems again when i delete the partitions, also i have my windows which i don't want to loss [16:14] when I "echo $SHELL" I get /bin/bash... I want to change it to /bin/tcsh... which file do I change it in? [16:14] number_number: use chsh [16:14] alkisg: Silicon Integrated Systmes [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [16:14] hey, why not a ubuntu 64bit netbook version? [16:14] hola [16:14] hey all [16:14] rigved: My irc client died, did you reply to me? [16:15] I just installed ubuntu server and I wanted to install a ssh server on it. I did sudo aptitude install ssh [16:15] Hi there, i was wondering if someone would help me, im trying to install ubuntu on my dedi machine which is about 400 miles away, is it possible without being there? [16:15] mfaroukg: there are a few commands to type to get to recover from old patition, but i think you have deleted your swap, so no point there. just re-install ubuntu. just make sure that you do not delete the windows partiotions [16:15] now I wanna access it with my windows desktop using tunellier [16:15] partitions* [16:16] Ironicus: and what's the problem? [16:16] Theta: I think your problem is not display related, but I don't know what it could be, too little info and probably isn't worth troubleshooting it since you're installing 10.10 anyway... [16:16] mfaroukg: these are mostly msdos1 and msdos2 [16:16] I don't know what to do now [16:16] don't know what adress to enter [16:17] I tried the IP thats it [16:17] Is the ssh server started automaticly [16:17] ironicus: and did that work? [16:17] Chalkie1983: do you have someone to put a CD on the drive, boot it and follow a couple of instructions? [16:17] no it didn't [16:17] no im afraid i dont :\ [16:17] hi! I 've installed mint 10. In case of format, is there anyway to save the whole partition before, so I can restore it exactly at the way it was? [16:17] is there a way to have the 2nd workspace on a 2nd screen? [16:17] Chalkie1983: then how are you planning on turning on the remote PC? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [16:17] ok... [16:17] thats why im here [16:17] asking if its possible [16:17] i have crappy windows here [16:18] ps ax | grep sshd [16:18] alkisg: FF crashed, and I'm restarting the download. I have limited time to fix this. I have 8.04 on a CD, do you think I should try installing it? [16:18] Chalkie1983: no, you can't turn on a remote pc with no OS on it with Ubuntu :) [16:18] what does that give you ironicus?

[16:19] the host didnt answer [16:19] mfaroukg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531257/ [16:19] Theta: sure you can do that, I think it'll be the fastest way [16:19] number_number: /etc/passwd [16:19] intergallactic, i use clonezilla liveCD for making images of my windows installations.. im pretty sure it works with linux partitions too [16:19] alkisg: PXE, Wake on LAN? [16:19] Ironicus: wtf? [16:19] anyone know how to make ppstream work in totem? [16:19] hd1: without the bios being programmed for that, and behind a home router and without knowing the mac address? Tough... [16:19] Ironicus: /msg hd1, please? [16:20] alkisg: ok, thanks! [16:20] Well, once I installed the ssh, how can I find help dir3ectly on my server [16:20] mfaroukg: you can use (hd0,msdos5) [16:20] hd1, watch your language please [16:20] alksig: well, I had assumed you'd set that up [16:20] Mohan: sorry [16:20] entropy4, thx! i'll keep it in my mind! [16:20] hd1: he doesn't even have a person to open the PC... :D [16:20] llutz_: I changed the /etc/passwd to /bin/tcsh [16:20] is it possible to roll back to 10.04? [16:20] rigved, shall i use these commands or shall i reinstall the ubuntu? [16:21] and yet.. when I "echo $SHELL" I get /bin/bash [16:21] I can't understand where it's getting it from [16:21] how do i enable multi touch support on my ubuntu 10.10? [16:21] for touchpad actually [16:21] does ubuntu have the rdp system already installed? [16:21] number_number: you have to use chsh [16:22] joe: should be... perl -npi -e 's/maverick/lucid' /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [16:22] sudo sh before all that though [16:22] hd1, I cannot get on the internet because of 10.10 [16:22] burn a CD and set the package source as your CD [16:22] number_number: chsh -s /bin/tcsh [16:23] gf's stirring... so I'd better get off irc now, ttyl mate [16:23] why would anyone use tcsh these days? [16:23] sudo chsh -s /bin/tcsh [16:23] Changing shell for root. [16:23] Shell not changed. [16:23] where can i confgure xinerama stuff? [16:23] tecnico: some of us are used to it? [16:23] Chalkie1983: can you currently access the XP on the remote machine with some rdp? [16:23] number_number: you changed the shell for root [16:24] my user shell is also changed [16:24] I know people who still use 44bsd-csh because of inertia [16:24] in my /etc/passwd [16:24] alkisg yes i can, i used wubi to install ubuntu [16:24] I'll try without sud [16:24] *sudo [16:24] number_number: you need lo open a new login shell.. the current one you have already spawned as bash [16:24] Chalkie1983: so now it's turned on and ubuntu is running and you want to access it, but you haven't enabled any ssh or vnc or other remote methods?

[17:35] This problem is not linked to a ppa installation , everything worked ok only I installed kde desktop and when logging back in gnome I saw this problem in notification which by the way does not happen on kde. [17:36] yes i can see the skype button on my top navigation menu [17:36] goku_: I don't have personal experience, but i have read that using Firestarter is an easy option to share. After the install, when you are running it, it will ask if you want to share the connection.

[17:38] sresu: use mencoder or ffmpeg. how do that is mentioned on one (or both) of their FAQ's i recall [17:39] how can i recover my files... [17:39] mratkey3: do the files exist in /home/theusersname ? [17:39] Dr_Willis: I remember concatenating audio files with sox. Can sox do that? [17:39] AgentX, do you see a blue Skype Icon in the bottom left corner of the skype window? [17:39] sresu: sox is for audio edits.. so id imagine sox can do that. and more..

Version 14.3.1-1build1 (maverick), package size 91 kB, installed size 228 kB [17:40] sresu: audacity has scripts? [17:40] sresu: sox is not a video editor tool. [17:40] hello [17:40] actually, theres nothing on /home/ [17:40] Sean93, thanks man i figured out :) [17:40] I always have heard that you can "cat video2.avi >> video1.avi" or something of a sort. [17:40] mratkey3: so you booted the system.. and now the user has vanished... [17:40] AgentX, No problem [17:40] mratkey3: I think "testdisk" can get deleted files back. Need to look for the link first... [17:40] Sean93, Iwasn't looking at that bottom buttom :) [17:40] red2kic: that can have issues.. or it can work. :) [17:41] i have a problem with usb driver seagate 250gb ntfs [17:41] mratkey3: what happened befor the user vanished? [17:41] Dr_Willis: That means using cat and ffmpeg together [17:41] Dr_Willis: I wouldn't know. I never had the need to combine videos. Next time I do, I'll try. :) [17:41] system ubuntu 10.04 can't found it [17:41] mratkey3: Or no, maybe it was the other app from the same site, photoRec... [17:41] sosiated: firestarter isn't showing anything [17:42] sresu: ffmpeg and mencoder can take 2 video files and merge them. and shouldent have any problems. [17:42] mratkey3: http://www.cgsecurity.org/ [17:42] i have in lsusb list but nathing else happend [17:42] crap... I lost the guys name I was talking to [17:42] red2kic: I can confrim that cat works for files separate by windows programs like HJSplit [17:42] Dr_Willis: Could you give one example? [17:42] i have a problem with GRUB, and when i tried to recover the menu of it my user disappeared [17:42] sresu: see the mencoder and ffmpeg FAQ' im pretty sure its covered in there with examples. Id have to go look it up to be sire i was doing it right. [17:43] Dr_Willis: Will this work? [17:43] mratkey3: is your /home/ on its own partition? [17:43] sresu: no idea.. read the FAQ and try it i guess... [17:43] i will try testdisk [17:43] Sure [17:43] I dont know... [17:43] sresu: theres NO need to use cat i recall.. ffmpeg can merge 2 videos.. [17:43] hmmm [17:44] i see events in the firestarter "events" tap but nothing [17:44] wait [17:44] im going to take a screenshot [17:44] Dr_Willis: I remember that. But I'll see the FAQ [17:44] http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html Entry 3.5 [17:45] oops 3.15 :) [17:45] i can see the IP address of the guest computer in firestarter's events window, but i cant connect to the internet [17:45] can somebody help to mount the drive? [17:45] Dr_Willis: Well yes, FAQ says cat is required :) [17:45] goku_: Those events are usually the attempts to connect to some of your ports. Normal thing in Firestarter. Firestarter didn't ask for some settings when you checked to share the connection? . Have you used the correct gateway and subnet mask settings on the slient computer? [17:46] sresu: mencoder faq mentions an avimerge tool... [17:46] avimerge (part of the transcode tool set). [17:46] sosiated: the client side is connected with the eth0 port and has auto assigned addys [17:47] http://img241.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1nsq.png/ the folder I select was my user folder...i think [17:47] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I see that here as well.. [17:47] sresu: it also says jus cat can work with SOME codecs.. so it pays to take care. [17:47] sosiates: in the netmanager dropdown menu i set eth0 to "sharing" [17:47] as per the tutorial [17:47] Dr_Willis: Yes -sameq all to .mpg and then it works [17:47] How do I run testdisk on a corrupt ntfs partition table? [17:48] is there a way to go back to have the close, minimize and maximize buttons on the top right instead of the top left? [17:48] On the subject of firestarter... is it safe to use? [there was a discussion on here many moons ago re it no longer being safe. I would like to use it use again....... any opinions? [17:48] sosiated: perhapse i need to try and reboot? [17:48] !controls | fallore [17:48] fallore: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [17:48] goku_: You cant use auto assigned IP unless you have set up NAT on your server. Which I dont think Firestarter would have. Try giving the client a static ip and setting the server ip to the main computers' [17:48] Does Intel/PC partition cover ntfs? [17:48] spydon_: i would think so. [17:49] does anyone game in here? [17:49] Dr_Willis: well I must be sure :P [17:49] spydon_: but i would check a NTFS filesystem with a windows system... not a linux system [17:49] i finally got Left 4 Dead 2 to work in 10.10 using Wine1.3, but I dont think OPENGL is working in the game? [17:49] spydon_: i HAVE accessed ntfs (read only) via linuix to recover files BEFOR testing/fixing it in windows. [17:49] Dr_Willis: I don't use windows [17:49] gaming on linux is a joke.... [17:49] spydon_: i have to wonder why you have a NTFS filesystem on a disk then... [17:49] fallore: I think it may work if you go to the appearance-prefs and set your theme again (if you set changed something that made the buttons change sides). And I am pretty sure that UbuntuTweak also has an option to change that specific setting. [17:49] lol [17:49] Dr_Willis: it's a friends external harddrive [17:49] laler: is it now? [17:50] so? can somebody help me ? [17:50] !info ntfstools [17:50] Package ntfstools does not exist in maverick [17:50] yes it is now, a1fa [17:50] why is that? [17:51] mratkey3: we are not actually real clear on what happened, or how you did it.. If your /home/ is on its own partition. it could be its not mounted.. if the filssytem got messed up the files COULD be in /lost+found [17:51] mratkey3: altering the grub stuff - should have no affect on the users /home/USERNAME files at all. [17:51] Where did goku_ go. [17:51] nothing runs on linux [17:51] Is there any way to increase the amount of memory a process may use [17:51] therefor gaming for linux is not optimal [17:51] laler: whatever... do you have a tech support question? [17:52] most things run just fine [17:52] No i was just responding to aifa [17:52] Thanks for the concern Dr_Willis [17:52] zieglerk: as far as i know any process can access all the memory anyway. [17:52] zieglerk: ulimit I recall can put forth limits.. but i dont think theres any by default. [17:52] i think you need to leave ; [17:52] laler: define "nothing" [17:53] Look...my user disappeared...and when i try to access /dev/sda4/gus (MY OLD USER THAT DISAPPEARED) there are two files: [17:53] Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop and README.txt [17:53] goku_: If you need your client to use automatic IP assigning, You need to install dhcp3 on your main server, and then go to Firestarter's Network settings and enable DHCP there. [17:53] you can't define something that isen't there [17:53] Dr_Willis: I already checked ulimit and there are no limits set on the memory. But my python program aborts (after filling up most of the RAM) with "Error: unable to alloc/realloc memory" [17:53] mratkey3: You were using encrypted home dirs.. there for - your stuff is in those files. but encrypted.. [17:53] mratkey3: uh-oh. What is in the readme.txt? [17:53] Sorry that i made you guys angry [17:54] Dr_Willis: Maybe I should ask the python guys? [17:54] mratkey3: try a ls -al. [17:54] i dont feel like installing window [17:54] to game [17:54] zieglerk: it sounds like a bug in the python code to me. [17:54] sosiated: thanks...

[18:14] iknoia: well, I thought it should, but from busy box, it seemed like /root is / [18:14] ikonia: I have everything listed under /root: bin, dev, usr, etc.. [18:14] Theta: what' the actual problem you are having ? [18:15] Theta: no. /root and / are different [18:15] how to run fsck..? [18:15] karthick87: System Rescue CD works quite well for most system repair needs. [18:15] karthick87: type fsck then a partition name [18:15] ikonia: I have a problem with my display adapter. X won't start. So, I used break=init boot option to try and install the correct driver manually. [18:15] i have a problem with mounting, can someone help me? [18:15] Theta: you need to copy both mkdir and cp files from bin to the /root folder. then run the commands again. [18:16] Theta: what video card do you have [18:16] zap0: what is the problem? I linked you to the mount documentation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [18:16] rigved: yeah, but that's not how it looks like from busybox! can you explain that? [18:16] hmmm [18:16] SiS 671 [18:16] jfv34, i read it. it doesn't help with problems. [18:16] I cant open Users And Groups.... [18:16] Theta: why are you doing that in a chroot - you can do that outside a chroot ? [18:16] zap0: what is the problem? [18:17] Theta: why not just boot the box and install the xorg component you need, or use the "vesa" xorg driver to get a basic X11 desktop while you install === jparks is now known as jep1985 [18:17] clear [18:17] this is like, how can i recover my files if i dont have an ubuntu user now?...im logged from the root account, in the partition that my user disappeared...you understand? [18:17] jfv34, i get 'no such device' error. the OS is a guest on a win7 host. which has a shared folder setup. [18:17] ikonia: whenever I try to manipulate any files without chroot, it say the files are write protected. [18:17] mratkey3: how are you logged in as root [18:17] Theta: which files ? [18:17] hi mratkey3, i just got here, what's the problem? [18:17] zap0: Virtualbox? [18:17] jfv34, i've followed several tutorials that all say much the same thing, i get the same error each time. [18:18] jfv34, yes vbox. [18:18] Theta: You could also just install the xlibs, xterm and openssh-server packages and run the GUI tools from another host. === noobuntu is now known as dreamtraveler [18:18] zap0: If it's virtualbox it creats a special kind of drive you mount, I think it's called vbox-share /your/dir [18:18] goku_: Disconnect the network cable and run that command again. After that do "/etc/init.d/networking restart" and see if IP has changed [18:18] sirninja, you should be running the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless kernel source driver which is the default in your package manager. [18:18] zap0: this is really more of a vbox issue than ubuntu, but since I've done this before, let me find you the documentation [18:19] hi, please somebody help me on my audio settings, I have audio ouput working, but input not working, here is my alsa-info.sh output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531296/ [18:19] blueskaj: I installed bcmwl-kernel-source through synaptic [18:19] I was trying to copy files from home directory to somewhere under /usr/lib [18:19] jfv34, i've followed lots of vbox tutorials, and the official guide too; im pretty sure im going it right, so now the issue is why is ubuntu saying 'no such device' [18:20] jep1985: my user disappeared...and i want to recover my files in my partition...im logged as root (or something like that)...but my user disappeared and i cant access to User and Groups on the menu... [18:20] ikonia: what do you suggest I do? [18:20] Theta: ok - so you use sudo to access/copy the files to those [18:20] goku_: Just running dhclient will often get a new IP. [18:20] Theta: sudo cp /bin/cp /root/; sudo cp /bin/mkdir /root/; [18:20] Ok.. are the files still there? [18:20] or have they been deleted [18:20] Theta: I cannot understand how you can understand chrooting, yet you don't know the basics of sudo [18:20] Theta: just to answer your earlier query [18:20] jep1985: It *sounds* as if the home-folder of mratkey3 is encrypted and isn't automatically mounted with the correct passphrase). [18:20] testing [18:20] sirninja, is your signal above 30% , if not then that could explain the flaky connection [18:20] zap0: I've had this problem before, there was a strange reason for it, I think I had to delete one of my vbox xml files and then redo the mounting process [18:20] or that.. and i don't encrypt so i don't know where to begin with that [18:20] ikonia: sudo doesn't seem to work through busy box. [18:20] jfv34, docs say mount -t vboxsf share /mnt/share [18:21] but i can help if the partition is unencrypted [18:21] Theta: sudo -i [18:21] Theta: you dont use busy box [18:21] BluesKaj: I'm on my college campus. It's weird. it works perfectly everywhere, but here in my room. But it works fine here in my room in windows, so I don't know [18:21] ikonia: it's more like I don't seem seem to understand busy box. [18:21] Theta: try that [18:21] hey guys, does anuone else have problems with sound on OpenOffice.org? [18:21] jfv34, the vbox xml files on the host? [18:21] Hey, can anyone recommend a good Music CD burner for Ubuntu? [18:21] zap0: What seems to happen is if you mess up mounting it the first time, vbox remembers that configuration and you can't change it without removing the offending configuration file. Yeah on the host. [18:21] Theta: you boot the real system [18:21] Theta: why are you using "busy box" ? [18:21] zap0: Back them up first though. [18:21] rigved: /bin/sh: sudo: not found [18:22] Sir-Integra, Brasero or K3b [18:22] !info Brasero [18:22] Package Brasero does not exist in maverick [18:22] rigved: that's without chroot'ing. === david is now known as Guest26948 [18:22] Theta: it's not in busy box, but you don't need to use busy box [18:22] !info k3b [18:22] jfv34, im pretty sure i have not 'screwed it up' but will go hunting in the XML files. [18:22] k3b (source: k3b): A sophisticated CD/DVD burning application. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.1-1ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 488 kB, installed size 1844 kB [18:22] i cant find /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-8.1.3:1.3/power/level [18:22] Theta: just boot the system normally [18:22] rigved: should I chroot? [18:22] root is bad [18:22] how do i disable usb in ubuntu ? [18:22] Theta: no, don't chroot [18:22] nevermind i totally read that wrong [18:22] Theta: no. it will not solve your real problem [18:22] Theta: boot the normal system [18:22] ilovefairuz: he's going to install karmic, it looks like ubuquity is taking his cpu resources, it goes over 100% [18:22] ikonia: then it gives me a garbled screen.. [18:22] zap0: Can you give me the exact error you're getting then? [18:22] Theta: boot it in safe mode [18:23] ikonia: you mean recovery mode? [18:23] zap0: I had this very problem mounting a usb stick on an ubuntu host and I may be able to find the documentation I used to solve it. [18:23] iknoia: it still gives me a garbles screen.. [18:23] stoopid question =P how do i write an init script [18:23] zap0: Err, I meant ubuntu guest [18:23] there's something borked with ubuntu .. i cant find any power controler files for usb [18:23] theres no way to turn it on or off [18:23] Theta: use single user mode [18:23] i just compiled libvirt from source and don't wanna type libvirtd& every time [18:23] ikonia: how do I do that? [18:23] ikonia: through grub? [18:24] jfv34, somewhere above i said the command line i was using. the error says "no such device" [18:24] Theta: yes, or "root shell" through recovery mode [18:24] goku_: Any luck? [18:24] no [18:24] iknoia: I'm not sure how to do that. I only have few options in my grab boot screen. [18:24] when i reconnected the windows machine it came up with the old address [18:25] zap0: Check out this stackoverflow answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3492466/how-to-mount-virtualbox-shared-folder-on-ubuntu-server-10-04-gui-sbin-mount-vbo [18:25] hey...i got: [18:25] thanks jep1985. [18:25] Passphrase: [18:25] Select cipher: [18:25] 1) aes: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded) [18:25] 2) blowfish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 56 (not loaded) [18:25] 3) des3_ede: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 24; max keysize = 24 (not loaded) [18:25] mratkey3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:25] 4) twofish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32 (not loaded) [18:25] ikonia: is that supposed to be an listed option, or is it a boot option I should manually add? [18:25] Theta: when you say that X will not start properly, do you mean that the booting process just hangs with a black screen? [18:25] goku_:At the moment everything I have told you to do must have been on Ubuntu machine. [18:26] !info ip6tables [18:26] Package ip6tables does not exist in maverick [18:26] aha found it [18:26] hi, please somebody help me on my audio settings, I have audio ouput working, but input not working, here is my alsa-info.sh output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531296/ [18:26] rigved: not black, purple moving strips all over the screen. [18:26] ok, this way [18:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/531302/ === Auv5 is now known as Auv5[Away] [18:26] * Mrokii has to leave. [18:26] i upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 and i cant run flash plugin in my browsers [18:27] i downloaded the file from web but its .so and i cant install it help me out plz [18:27] jfv34, i'm going to try rebuilding guest.additions [18:27] Theta: and which graphics card do you have? [18:27] ysk: You need to enable the universe repositories and install the restricted-extras packages. [18:27] rigved: it seems to be a known issue for SiS drivers, but I can't manage to install the correct drivers I've downloaded. [18:28] rigved: SiS 671 [18:28] Hello. My touchpad does not work anymore. Since i am not sure, if it is a hardware or a software issue, can you tell me, how to test that? [18:28] sosaited, according to the how-to all i needed to do was set the eth0 to "shared" in the netmanager [18:28] zap0: Based on the stackoverflow response that seems like the thing to do. I believe when I had this problem it was user error on my part. [18:29] Theta: i have a problem booting normally into my old compaq laptop also. i need to boot into failsafex graphics mode everytime. but atleast i can use ubuntu :) [18:29] julia: you can check dmesg if its detected and than cat the corresponding device file to see if theres any data coming from it [18:29] !iptables | jep1985 [18:29] jep1985: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [18:29] sosaited, when i did that, the windows machine got an address [18:29] how I can make transparent windows when I move them? [18:29] i got Error mounting eCryptfs: [-2] No such file or directory [18:29] julia: You could try running "xev" in the terminal and see if it picks up mouse events from your touchpad [18:29] sosaited, that was before i set up firestarter and dhcp3=server [18:29] cyrano how? [18:29] rigved: hmmm, what's failsafex? [18:30] goku_: Which how to are you following?. [18:30] rigved: I tried nomodeset and xforcevesa. [18:30] jfv34, i suspect an autoupdate has caused this kernel/header de-sync [18:31] sosaited, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [18:31] Theta: when i boot into grub, i choose recovery mode and the boot into low-level graphics mode (without desktop effects). [18:31] I use xmodmap to change caps lock to another key; how can I make these changes apply in an actual tty (ctrl+alt+f1)? [18:31] ysk: System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. [18:31] jfv34: No, nothing happens. [18:31] BluesKaj: i've compiled libvirt from source and it's nagging me about ip6tables, apparently ubuntu doesn't have it? [18:31] sosaited, gui method for 9.10 and up [18:31] zap0: Very well could have [18:31] ysk: Settings repositories [18:31] jfv34 (based on my reading of the stackoverflow comments) [18:31] Maybe it is just deactivated somehow? [18:31] Theta: just takes 2 seconds more than normal boot, but it gets the job done [18:31] rigved: yeah, how do you do that? what boot options do you use? [18:31] anyone know of a package that can take pics with a webcam? [18:31] Theta: recovery mode [18:31] julia: Alright, another thing you can try is "xorg -configure" this will rebuild your xorg.conf which contains your touchpad configuration [18:32] icedtea: cheese [18:32] Theta: do you have that in your grub menu? [18:32] rigved: just recovery mode, you don't add any boot modifiers? [18:32] Theta: no [18:32] rigved: yes, I do. but it doesn't do me any good. [18:32] ysk: check the top four repositories, click close and then click on the Reload button [18:32] icedtea, cheese is one option [18:32] ysk: Then do a search for ubuntu-restricted [18:33] Theta: what options do you get after booting into recovery mode? [18:33] jep1985, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ip6tables-ipv6-firewall-for-linux/ [18:33] I want to get ubuntu cd's but it says that i have too many and i i contribute i will be eligeble for more. I have join many teams and am starting to help out but I am still not eligeble to get more cd's [18:33] Why VirtualBox from ubuntu repository does not support USB? while official release support it? [18:33] I installed the ubuntu over Vista however it isn't showing up as an option to boot into there when i power on the machine VISTA just loads up... This was the result of me installing the GRUB on SDA5 where linux was to be installed... [18:33] cyrano there is one like adobe flash player ppa disable on update to maverick [18:33] where can I see a log of why my wireless network is getting disconnected? [18:33] should i select it? [18:33] jfv34, did not fix the problem. [18:34] yay [18:34] karthick87: the ubuntu repository is the open version, which does not have full functionality, it's easy enough to install the full one from virtualbox's website [18:34] jfv34, do i need to reboot? [18:34] oh so i'm just a tard then =P [18:34] rigved, ikonia: so, I found this article, it explains a possible solution, but I can't manage to get the steps done. [18:34] what command can i use to check & fix fat32 system? [18:34] jfv34: julia@julia-laptop:~$ sudo xorg -configure -> sudo: xorg: command not found [18:34] Hello. I am in need of some linux support. Is there someone with some free time who wishes to help a complete linux noob? [18:34] rigved, ikonia: "All you have to do is moving sis_drv.* to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and modify your Xorg.conf from vesa to sis, by typing: $sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [18:34] zap0: yeah, it's a good idea to reboot whenever you mess with the kernel [18:34] so, I downloaded the files, but I can't move them! [18:35] i believe the command is Xorg -configure [18:35] not xorg -configure [18:35] ok [18:35] Theta: you will need to use sudo here! [18:35] ysk: I'm not sure on that. The ubuntu-restricted-extras package should get flash installed. You can get the 64bit version using the Ununtu-Tweak utility. [18:35] i have installed that one [18:35] ysk: You have to manually install Ubuntu-Tweak though. [18:35] hi, what do you recommend as a irc cilent for ubuntu? [18:35] already [18:35] goku_: When you followed that guide, you couldn't use internet on the windows machine? not even ping the server?. [18:35] julia: sorry.. i believe the command is Xorg -configure rather than lowercase x [18:35] rigved: so, how do I get to a shell? currently, I use break=init boot option. [18:36] julia: Xorg -configure sorry it was a capital "X" [18:36] rigved: which, apparently, gets me to the busy box shell. [18:36] if only those sneaky devs would use all lowercase in their binaries! [18:36] rigved: busy box shell cannot access the filesystem, and does not have access to sudo. [18:36] jfv34, still fails. [18:36] sosaited, windows could not see the internet, and i could not ping anything from it, it did get a dhcp address with the etho as the gateway, dhcp, and dns [18:37] rigved: and if i chroot, I still cannot copy the files! (although I believe I do have access to /bin, because I've tried a bunch of commands, and all of them worked. like cat, ls, etc.. [18:37] zap0: Do you know what kernel version and header version you have? [18:37] no [18:37] goku_: Can you confirm that in Network manager, Wired connections, Auto eth or whatever is listed there, in its IPv4 settings, the method is "Shared to other computers" ? [18:37] hey, anyone know how to change the mouse cursor for emerald? [18:37] sosaited, yes [18:37] zap0: alright, let me get you a command to grab those. [18:37] Ok, closing my X than. brb [18:37] zap0: the command is uname -r for kernel version [18:37] cyno i have done it but i dont know why its said to download the plugin [18:38] !emerald | jfv34 [18:38] jfv34: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [18:38] Theta: you have limited capabilities here. even chroot will not do it because you still need to superuser permissions. [18:38] you can install the correct header files via "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" [18:38] thats a back tick, shift + ~ on a US Keyboard [18:38] sosaited, http://pastebin.com/3A7M4nv1 [18:38] jfv34, 2.6.35-22-generic [18:38] Theta: chroot != sudo [18:38] how I can make transparent windows when I move them ? [18:38] rigved: so, what could I do? [18:38] FYI folks.. pastebin is currently moving servers or some lame stuff like that, i HIGHLY suggest you use "http://paste.ubuntu.com" in the meantime [18:39] How to download printer drivers for samba for WIN XP HOME> [18:39] How to download printer drivers for samba for WIN XP HOME??? [18:39] zap0: follow jep1985's advice there, to get the correct headers [18:39] Pastebin.com NOTICE: WE ARE CURRENTLY MOVING SERVERS, DUE TO THIS, SOME DATA MIGHT BE MISSING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME! [18:39] Theta: what exactly happens when you boot into recovery mode? [18:39] zap0: after you've got them, then rebuild the guest utils again [18:39] cysioland is your samba server recognizing the printer? [18:39] yes [18:39] windows shouldn't require a driver for a networked printer [18:40] but Windows notebook asks for driver [18:40] what brand of printer? HP/Canon/Epson etc [18:40] what irc client you would recommend for ubuntu? [18:40] HP [18:40] hmm [18:40] I want to remove my terminal history so one cannot arrow up and find commands (in case I may have entered my sudo password in plain text by accident). I've set up a cron tab to do this every minute, but would like to lockout advanced privileges on a more frequent basis. [18:40] via CUPS [18:40] cysioland: go and ask in #windows [18:40] bhaal279: I like irssi [18:40] karlo94: You would need to install the compiz settings manager. [18:40] you could try going to the HP website and manually installing the printer driver for your printer [18:40] cysioland: oh, I misread your question. sorry [18:40] cyno [18:40] rigved: displays some text while loading different stuff, then gives me the garbled screen. [18:40] its workin [18:40] lol i have installed couple of flash things [18:40] thanks bro [18:40] c ya laters [18:40] ysk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:40] Well, rather than have the default of 15 minutes. [18:41] Hello [18:41] if you want samba to host the proper windows drivers for your printer, so people can double click the printer and it automatically connects and installs drivers, this isnt easy to get working with samba [18:41] Will ubuntu 10.10 tell me if a raid harddrive fails? [18:41] jep1985, but it installs full software, and i need only .inf file [18:41] i've never been asked for a driver using the hplip package that comes with ubuntu and samba [18:41] if you dont mind them installing the drivers manually, its not a problem though [18:41] on windows that is [18:41] jfv34, jep1985, apt-gt headers run ok, but said it did not update anything, as everything is already up-to-date. [18:41] Theta: can you wait on this garbled screen for some time, like a minute to see if anything happens? [18:41] jfv34: thanks [18:41] jep1985: from windows? [18:42] question: i have used an lvm volume as a virtual disk for a KVM based VM. The VM treated the disk as a block device and put its own partition table on it (GPT). what i need to do now is mount one of those partions in the KVM host...does anyone know how i can do this? I can see the partition using parted, but there is no block device for it...im a bit lost [18:42] question: i have used an lvm volume as a virtual disk for a KVM based VM. The VM treated the disk as a block device and put its own partition table on it (GPT). what i need to do now is mount one of those partions in the KVM host...does anyone know how i can do this?

[18:42] Theta: boot into recovery mode and wait for a minute or two when you reach the garbled screen [18:42] zap0 when you "ls /usr/src/" how many directories are there? [18:42] rigved: sure, doing that now. [18:42] jep1985: and using windows native drivers (So you can get binding, advanced paper type selection, etc?) ? [18:42] linxeh: no i've never had to install drivers, but i'm using windows 7 too... [18:42] jep1985, 4.. 2 linux headers, 2 vbox related. [18:42] zap0: So headers and kernel are same version, up-to-date guest-utils rebuild and you initially did the commands correct. Are you positive the drive is accesible? [18:42] you won't get those options unless theyre compiled into the linux driver [18:42] ciao a tutti [18:43] HP has AMAZING linux support though so it very well may be [18:43] hmmm [18:43] What must I do? [18:43] apt-get autoremove? [18:43] it'll remove your old kernel unless you want it, i think [18:43] cysioland, what hp printer? [18:43] how to copie files from my desktop to my server via ssh? [18:43] HP DeskJet f2290 [18:43] jfv34, yes, yes, yes.. 'the drive' ? what do you mean by that? im trying to mount a shared folder [18:43] Cysioland what version of windows? [18:44] cysioland, i use a 42" printer at work [18:44] desktop -> server [18:44] goku_: Try to change the method to manual and enter 192.168.1.1 as IP and 255.255.255.0 as netmask. etch0:avahi is something that is complicated and unknown to me. Maybe someone else knows why it is here... [18:44] How do you get grub to show it's ugly head? I tried escape, and i tried shift (it said it was comming up but it just picked a kernel for me anyway)? === GuestA0E0E3 is now known as fabio [18:44] Windows XP Home SP3 [18:44] x86 === fabio is now known as fabiobik [18:44] tecnico: rebooted and everything works fine :D (just in case you were worried!) [18:44] kohlrak, "sudo apt-get autoremove grub-pc; sudo apt-get install grub-legacy" *winks* [18:44] zap0: The actual shared folder, it's accessible as in you can actually access it and use it? [18:44] ty jep1985 [18:44] I wish i knew what to tell ya i haven't bothered with grub2 [18:44] kohlrak, if grub2 hold shift down on bootup [18:44] jfv34, on the host, yes it exists. [18:44] cysioland, you must install the commercial downloaded windows driver to use their printers across a network [18:44] kohlrak, that was a joke [18:45] zap0: Also, you can't use relative paths, so are you giving the full path name? [18:45] i don't advise you do that [18:45] how to copie files from my desktop to my server via ssh? [18:45] desktop -> server [18:45] jep1985: oh XD [18:45] ZykoticK9: i did hold down shift. [18:45] fabiobik are you familiar with command line ftp program? [18:45] goku_, can I extract .inf file from it to my smb drivers folder? [18:45] rigved: it's weird how recovery mode still gives me the garbeled screen. isn't it supposed to spawn a shell without starting X? [18:45] fabiobik: you can use sftp [18:45] there is an ssh variant, "sftp" [18:45] fabiobik, from your desktop try using Places / Connect to Server / then select SSH and add your info [18:45] grub2 beta...What genious thought putting beta apps in LTS releases was a smart thing to do. Beta apps with effectively no documentation. [18:46] how can i create an user from terminal? [18:46] fabiobik: also you can select network drives and choose to mount an ssh directory [18:46] or you can transfer with scp, i.e. "scp /etc/apt/sources.list user@localhost:./sources.list" [18:46] mratkey3, "sudo adduser USERNAME" [18:46] Theta: no. it's supposed to present you with recovery options [18:46] rigved: the only difference though, is that with recovery mode, it's a black and white garbled screen, while in regular mode it's purple and white! :) [18:46] what are some legit torrent sites? [18:46] jfv34, i give the full path name (as checked in the xml) to the UI settings.. it then creates a psuedo name called 'share' that i use in the mount command in the guest OS. i use /mnt/share which is a folder that also exists, that i created. [18:46] !ot > infid [18:46] infid, please see my private message [18:46] Theta: lol [18:46] cysioland, i don't know... with hp they require that you install the driver and when you choose the port you give it the IP address of the printer on the network [18:46] witch is method is more fast?? http download? ftp? or sftp? [18:46] ZykoticK9: it's not offtopic i want to download ubuntu [18:47] witch DOWNLOAD method is more fast?? http download? ftp? or sftp? [18:47] Theta: so are you still on the garbled screen and still no change? [18:47] infid, ubuntu torrents available from ubuntu.com [18:47] zap0: I'm stumped then, I can't really figure out what's wrong. [18:47] fuck [18:47] jfv34, all teh tutorials i've followed have not been contridictory, and i have followed them. [18:47] fabiobik: it's not the method, it's the server speed [18:47] jfv34, ok.. i appreaciate your help and patience. thank you. [18:47] rigved: what recovery options should it have? [18:47] Pussy mother cunt fcuking [18:47] zap0: No problem, wish I had been able to fix it. [18:47] how do i make openoffice presentation to play sound? [18:47] infid ok i was thinking method matters [18:47] rigved: maybe I can select the right one blindly. [18:48] hi. how do i start troubleshooting getting on the internet if i have no "eth0" device after running ifconfig? [18:48] laptop or desktop? [18:48] fabiobik: that being said, sftp is slowering than ftp because it encrypts stuff. http isn't so good because you can't resume usually, unless you use wget a certain way [18:48] Theta: normal boot, restart X, run in failsafex mode etc. [18:48] sosaited, when i try to use the "manual" config the apply button is always greyed out [18:48] fabiobik: method matters to some degree. torrents tend to be the fastest [18:48] toolbear, i'd look through dmesg and see if you see anything eth0 related (i'm guessing you won't) [18:48] toolbear: ifconfig -a ? [18:48] RJ_F1: desktop [18:48] echo 'suspend' > "/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.1/power/level" [18:48] -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [18:49] rigved: so, I should be aiming for the third option: failsafex? [18:49] ciao a tutti [18:49] !list [18:49] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:49] Tecan, FYI sudo will not pass through > [18:49] Theta: yes [18:49] ZykoticK9: "dmesg | grep eth0" yields nothing [18:49] evenin' all [18:49] toolbear, run route to see if you have a path to your gateway [18:49] zykotick9 im sudo -i [18:50] im in a root shell doing that [18:50] toolbear, so - that means the kernel does not see your eth0 [18:50] how do I change the default directory opened in Terminal? [18:50] hi [18:50] it's currently Desktop [18:50] but I would just like it to be ~ [18:50] how do I check, whether /etc/samba/smb.conf was modified from what it is in the package? [18:51] ZykoticK9: great. is that because of inappropriate drivers, or could it be a configuration issue? [18:51] nfrs: maybe check modification time [18:51] nfrs: i'm not sure, sounds like back it up, purge the installation and reinstall and compare the contents [18:51] toolbear, what sort of card/motherboard is this? almost all ethernet cards are supported in kernel. [18:51] goku_: Have you tried deleting the old entry there and adding a new wired one? [18:51] or check timestamp XD i don't do things the simple way [18:51] heh [18:52] toolbear, do you see anything in System / Admin / Additional Drivers? [18:52] toolbear, in the terminal : route post the output IP [18:52] Created a new /etc/xorg.conf with Xorg -configure and rebooted, but xev does still not recognize it, if i use the touchpad. [18:52] Is my hardware broken? [18:52] ZykoticK9: it's a standard realtek card, on an msi motherboard [18:52] upgraded through update manager to 10.10 went perfectly [18:52] Hi I am using ubuntu Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and I installed apt-get mysql-server, how do I get mysql to start on boot? [18:52] what's the issue julia, a laptop touchpad? [18:52] Hello. [18:52] Will a SiI3132-based RAID card work with ubuntu? [18:52] BlueKaj: i run route, but it doesn't give me any ip's at all... [18:52] hi [18:53] my new sony vaio laptop' [18:53] holy it worked [18:53] jep1985: Yes. It does not work any more. [18:53] 's touchpad will not work with ubuntu 10.10.. i have tried and tried [18:53] toolbear, i don't know then? Good luck man (i though realtek cards where typically supported, i've never had issues with them?) [18:53] does gstreamer extra plugins contain any proprietary software? [18:53] lorph: It should be setup to start on boot when it installs. [18:53] it's approximately 4 months old [18:53] have you tried ubuntu 10.04? i had to downgrade to get mine to work [18:53] toolbear, ok [18:53] ZykoticK9: ok, thanks [18:53] meoblast001, i believe the "ugly" ones might [18:53] goku_: And I guess you are already using a crossover lan cable, and not normal one, otherwise windows machines would not have gotten any settings. Though I still don't get why they would get those. AFAIK 192.168 and 10.4 is the private ip range for NAT and stuff. [18:53] i hate the thing anyway, i bought a usb mouse [18:54] BluesKaj: isn't that a problem, though? [18:54] lorph: You can use the update-rc.d utility to make sure it is setup to start [18:54] ZykoticK9, well, i'm not concerned with patent infringement.. i just want to maek sure i can get the source [18:54] joy... server 10 install crashed.. 33% formatting disks.. rock on [18:54] first try too of course [18:54] crashed or stopped? [18:54] its crashed [18:54] sosaited: this is a dell laptop with an auto sensing port [18:54] meoblast001, i don't know... not sure how you could find out either - other then hoping someone knows. [18:55] i'm so glad that my hardware works perfectly with ubuntu, i've been really lucky [18:55] this is in a qemu guest [18:55] Cyrano_De: it doesn't start on boot [18:55] !anyone [18:55] 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? [18:55] so hardware is kinda out of the picture [18:55] Cyrano_De: I tested it 2 times [18:55] odd [18:55] hello [18:55] Counter strike 1.6 non steam server its possible to install in ubuntu server 10.10? [18:56] if yes how? [18:56] toolbear, try : ip a | grep inet [18:56] spanish, here? [18:56] Cyrano_De: may I ask how do I check if mysql starts with update-rc.d? [18:56] fabiobik: probably if it's installable on linux [18:56] I want to report a bug with emacs22. U'm using ubuntu 10.04 and emacs22. When I want to move my emacs's windows then ubuntu freezes !! [18:56] what is the command for searching using apt? is it apt-search? [18:56] fabiobik: the documentation for the server program should let you know [18:56] jep1985 :( [18:56] rigved, "apt-cache search foo" [18:57] rigved: try opening optitude and press / [18:57] ZykoticK9: thanx for your help [18:57] my user disappeared... [18:57] rigved: that I prefer [18:57] now that i have deleted eth0, how can i add a new one? it is asking me for a mac address?/? [18:57] fabiobik i'll google it and see what i can find [18:57] fabiobik: if you can find the files... most of the hlds updates from valve servers [18:57] petan: thanx for your help. i'll give it a try. :) [18:57] I want to report a bug with emacs22. U'm using ubuntu 10.04 and emacs22. When I want to move my emacs's windows then ubuntu freezes !! [18:58] fabiobik: its a lot less headache to just... use a steam server [18:58] I recently upgraded to Maverick .. well tried to, at least, I returned back after starting it and it had crashed to some terminal with unreadable text. Upon restart now it gets stuck at the boot screen, again it's scrambled. The computer had scrambled boot screens before but those times it booted normally otherwise. How should I proceed? [18:58] HI all. I added foo=/path/to/foo to the end of my .profile and rebooted. When I typed in env, foo was not there. What gives? [18:58] toolbear, if you don't get an IP . sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [18:58] fabiobik: for the $20 and all.... [18:58] !bug | neves [18:58] neves: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [18:58] BluesKaj: thanks, i don't seem to have an ip command either, maybe that has something to do with it... [18:59] why is writing to /sys/devices all messed up ?? [18:59] dsnyders: add it in $HOME/.bashrc add the line: export foo='/path/to/foo' [18:59] leave [18:59] hey mates, anyone have experience migrating a 32-bit installation to a 64-bit one via an upgrade? [18:59] hi guys, I've installed ubuntu netbook edition 10.10 on a netbook - I need help with boot parameters: [18:59] Refefer: you will need to reinstall for that [18:59] ActionParsnip, so .profile doesn't work? [18:59] I need to add processor.max_cstate=1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 to the grub boot entry for ubuntu - where do I add this now? [18:59] Refefer that gest tricky, i generally just backup and reinstall [19:00] neves: Why do you want to run the emacs OS on top of ubuntu anyway....(Sorry, couldn't resist) [19:00] it will save you a lot of time and hassle [19:00] uUser42342352: can you start live cd? [19:00] toolbear, did you try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [19:00] stealthii: /etc/default/grub [19:00] hi, is there any way to change the page order in simple-scan? [19:00] can I ask a question about using VMware player to install ubuntu? [19:01] SpringWan: You can [19:01] jep1985, yeah, I know it probably is. just gets difficult since it's headless, not to mention the fun of reconfiguring everything. [19:01] petan: should be able to, is there a "repair" tool or is it more practical to just backup and reinstall? [19:01] uUser42342352: dunno but we can try to repair it [19:01] dsnyders: if you have a .bash_profile or .bash_login file it won't be read, i always use .bashrc [19:01] oh boy =/ [19:01] after i have uninstalled chromium, is it safe to delete the followint folders? - ~/.config/chromium and ~/.config/google-chrome [19:01] neves: Why do you want to run the emacs OS on top of ubuntu anyway....(Sorry, couldn't resist) ---> On which OS do you want I run it ? [19:01] Cyrano_De: the grub boot options don't appear there - seems to be something more complicated it /etc/grub.d/* [19:02] ogh you have to sudo su not sudo -i [19:02] alright, what should I run? [19:02] s/it/in [19:02] rigved, any folder in your home folder that is hidden (has a period in front of the name) is a hidden file and probably should be left alone [19:02] uUser42342352: start live and then we check bootloader and what is wrong [19:02] Tecan: sudo -i is advised :) [19:02] MY USER DISAPPEARED [19:02] mratkey3: what? [19:02] Cyrano_De : On which OS do you want I run it ? [19:02] mratkey3: you don't see it in login? [19:02] stealthii: The GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is where you need to add extra kernel params. [19:02] no.... [19:02] but my files are still there [19:03] and i want them back [19:03] jep1985: ok. i'll let it remian. it's not like it taking up space, just wanted to clean [19:03] ;) [19:03] i just see access-your-private-data.desktop and readme.txt [19:03] mratkey3: press ctrl+alt+f5 [19:03] mratkey3: make a user of the same name, then chown the files to the new user [19:03] Cyrano_De: that's brilliant, thanks [19:03] mratkey3: wait [19:03] booting livecd now - btw it was stuck at the scrolling Ubuntu screen, not the grub screen before [19:03] rigved its possible that they are config files for the browser and removing them will kill it [19:03] mratkey3: you said you can't login === roadrash1965 is now known as Roadrash1965 [19:03] at the very least you will lose your bookmarks and all settings [19:03] neves: I was joking. The only thing keeping emacs from being labled an OS in and of itself is the lack of a kernel and bootscripts. I'm sure someone is working on fixing that. [19:04] jep1985: i have uninstalled chromium [19:04] then its probably just fine to remove it [19:04] jep1985: so no problem of chromium freezing lol [19:04] i thought the application was still present ;) [19:04] how do I change the default directory opened in Terminal? [19:04] rigved: google chrome has a native linux version now [19:04] jep1985: ok. thanx for you help :) [19:04] with .deb packages and a repository to boot!! [19:04] daedra: default is the one u start teminal from [19:04] just go google "google linux repository" :D [19:04] oh [19:05] yes [19:05] i cant [19:05] daedra: Its in the preferences I think [19:05] mratkey3: how you can see that files [19:05] and i cant open Users and Groups [19:05] petan: i'm at the install screen what now? [19:05] because they are in /dev/sda4/gus [19:05] uUser42342352: open terminal [19:05] mratkey3: boot to root recovery mode and do it there [19:06] jep1985: don't you sleep? [19:06] ActionParsnip: do what? [19:06] Sleep is for the weak [19:06] i did sleep [19:06] it's 1:06PM here :D [19:06] mratkey3: you can boot to root recovery mode and manipulate users and such [19:07] uUser42342352: so you have troubles with bootloader u said? [19:07] sleep is for delaying for a specified amount of time. [19:07] !info sleep [19:07] Package sleep does not exist in maverick [19:07] well [19:07] mratkey3: or you can use the usermod and groupmod commands from a terminal [19:07] its a command [19:07] petan: k [19:07] i think he was referring to the fact that i was on here last night too dsnyders ;) [19:07] actually, im on the root account...its not the same? [19:07] is there a replacement for "synaptics" (package in 10.04) for 10.10 (its been removed it seems) [19:08] petan: no, grub works fine, it loads and then gets stuck at the screen where it shows the ubuntu logo [19:08] Cyrano_De: how? [19:08] root account is your superuser account mratkey3, and should be avoided at all costs [19:08] try recreating the user... [19:08] petan: the upgade crashed [19:08] goku_: Delete the Wired connections from Network manager, restart the network and assign a manual IP to eth0 192.168.1.1 sort. And check first if windows machine can ping your ubuntu one. (On windows one, manual IP 192.168.1.1 and server 192.168.0.1) and then ping from command line. [19:08] uUser42342352: ok, do those commands [19:08] "useradd -m -k /dev/null -s /bin/bash username" [19:08] mratkey3: open a terminal and man usermod [19:08] uUser42342352: what is you partition? sda1? [19:08] !usermod [19:08] mratkey3: root login is not advised or supported, but yes you can manage the user there [19:08] realeyes@The-Blue-Box:~$ sudo aptitude update [19:08] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:08] E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?

The best I can think of is the manual one. [19:09] uUser42342352: umount sda5 [19:09] Darn click and drewl bots.

[19:58] petan, That's what it was created as, but it is saying that it failed to read the last sector.

I know it's sbd* should I fsck on all of them? could it just be a bad sector? [21:16] uUser42342352: you run maverick just got some old settings [21:17] petan: desktop looks like lucid, missing the new volume control, shotwell is missing, f-spot got uninstalled [21:17] Okay. [ERROR] XSERIAL: Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0': Invalid argument; The user `sporkboy' is already a member of `dialout'.; any ideas?

I forgot the tool name and can't find it no more :( [21:18] petan: nvm f-spot is still there, but shotwell isn't [21:18] lol [21:18] ahaney3: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed ........ that doen`t look good, but like I said, I`m no expert [21:18] furi: any ideas what you may have changed?

[21:19] thanks guys! :) [21:19] petan: lsb_release -a tells me that maverick's installed [21:19] smerz:watch "dmesg|tail" [21:19] hope? http://paste.ubuntu.com/531394/ [21:19] zazuge: Or just tail -f /var/log/messages ? [21:19] smerz:tail -f is real time [21:19] yeah [21:20] smerz:watch just refresh every 2sec [21:20] thanks thats exactly what i wanted :) [21:20] anyone able to help with cdrecord? [21:20] kish_: I've added and rebooted ssh activated installation boots, but when I ssh root@ip it asks me for the password I enter the password and says it's incorrect. [21:20] smerz:tail -f /var/log/message yes it's correct [21:20] ahaney3: That looks better, remind me, ext3? [21:20] smerz:tail -f /var/log/message is better than dmesg [21:20] uUser42342352: pm me one line form sources.list please [21:20] ?

I need to recover files from a damaged usb-harddrive [21:21] all, I mounted a remote folder onto my ubuntu, and the folder looks shaded when doing "ls", how could I make it to show just as my local folders?, [21:21] Keba1: man mount; try mount -o ro [21:21] ? [21:22] furi: so config files would have been removed then. well your TTYs shouldn't be affected, that's not even using X. when you boot up where abouts does the issue happen? post-splash, pre, post-grub? [21:23] ahaney3: you need to research e2fsck. I`m not sure so I`m not going to post. It helped me in the .....distant.....past [21:23] UserX7, idk... i think it's post-grub, but before splash. it's when it's starting all the vitals up. [21:24] ? [21:24] leave [21:24] gbear14275: cdrecord yes! [21:24] zazuge: lol, if you can help me I'll forever be indebted [21:25] furi: did you change the resolution in grub? [21:25] UserX7, i don't think so [21:25] gbear14275:I used to burn with cdrecord sometime a year ago maybe i still remember, i'll try [21:25] UserX7, but what about the ^[[12;2R thing? it looks kinda like simulated keypresses [21:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=326 [21:26] zazuge: thats my issue :( [21:26] gbear14275: so whats the problem [21:26] anyone has suggestions about removing the "selection sort of shade" on folders mounted onto my system? [21:26] zazuge: am thinking I could probably use some of the flags to help identify it but I'd like someone with some more experience to give me a 2nd look [21:26] gnusosa, still there? [21:27] gnusosa, you must add passwd=foo where you added dosshd [21:27] gbear14275: pls explain to me from the start maybe i missed some dialog [21:27] nothingspecial, fsck is still running, it's a 1tb drive so I assume it's going to take a while [21:27] oracle: I did [21:27] gnusosa, try -vvv to root@.. and pastebin it [21:27] gbear14275: do you want to do i simple image burn? [21:27] ahaney3: sudo e2fsck -nv /dev/sdb6 - nv will not make changes except fixing bad blocks. I have to go...... crying child [21:28] zazuge: the ubuntu forum post does the best job. Basically I'm having problems burning cd-r disks... and don't know how to narrow it down from there [21:28] thanks for your help [21:28] gbear14275: it's still not heplful for me to understand your question/problem [21:29] gbear14275: can you tell me the story from the start? === matthew is now known as Guest41585 [21:29] Sorry to be annoying... Is there any way to remove the selection sort of shading of mounted folders? Anyone knows? [21:30] Just a quick question: Anybody knows why Canonical doesn't support Xchat? I think there is enough amount of people using it [21:30] shine1: how did you mount it? [21:30] too many apps named Xchat [21:30] guntbert, i just did "sudo mount folder_1 folder_2" [21:31] gbear14275: hello? are you alive ? [21:31] oracle: hold on... [21:31] zazuge: from the start? lol... ok with this particular leg. Went to the store picked up 50 pk of CD-r's came back and started trying to burn them. Kept on running into errors whether it was with brasero or cdrecord... now am trying to troubleshoot why [21:31] goku_: I mean irc client [21:31] shine1: didn't you say something about remote? [21:31] zazuge: I fear it may be a firmware or driver issue though [21:31] ElNota: probably because they support xchat-gnome instead [21:31] gbear14275: can you post the error [21:31] gbear14275: Ignore the errors. Sometimes I get them but the discs worked fine. [21:31] LjL: But nobody uses it :P [21:31] ElNota: not really sure though [21:31] ElNota: *shrug* [21:32] zazuge: SCSI error on write(0,16): [3 0C 00] Write error [21:32] thats the short version [21:32] Elnota, isnt there 2 or 3 irc clients with that name for windows? [21:32] zazuge: here's the long version [21:32] gbear14275: what's the syntax you used (for cdrecord)? [21:32] zazuge: http://pastebin.com/Tqbnxc13 [21:32] goku_: xchat is a multiplataform irc-client [21:32] zazuge: command at top [21:32] gbear14275: ok that's more helful [21:32] ElNota: also they support Empathy, which has IRC capabilities. i do realize most people who're actually familiar with IRC prefer an actual IRC client, but i can also sort of see Canonical's stance [21:33] guntbert, I did more experiments and found that it actually happens when one makes softlinks of folders as well [21:33] heyy guys...whats the highest IP in the IPv4 range? [21:33] goku_: not that i'm aware of. there are a few *builds* of X-Chat for Windows [21:33] ElNota: once i tried to install it for windows and i got a nasty virus and someone asking me to register it for a fee [21:33] shine1: looking [21:33] Monotoko: depends on the netmask [21:34] ActionParsnip, the internet [21:34] as a whole [21:34] Monotoko: the internet doesnt use class c addresses [21:34] yeah they charge for xchat on windows :( [21:34] it sucks [21:34] :) [21:34] how can i stop Ubuntu 10.10 for using a usb soundcard as default when it's connected [21:34] ActionParsnip, class c? [21:35] I hate linux snobs .... [21:35] ActionParsnip, the reason I ask is that I have just had (in my auth.log) 4 failed SSH connections from: 296.89.0.0 [21:35] Monotoko: class C has 3 octets for network and at most 8 for nodes [21:35] gbear14275: well that's hard to tell maybe you had to limit the burn speed using speed=4 [21:35] now last I checked, thats impossible [21:35] shadow_springs, there's a free version if I remember correctly [21:35] Monotoko: thats a network address [21:35] Monotoko: so thats obviously going to happen [21:36] oracle: http://pastebin.com/TW3FQy7p [21:36] gbear14275: but nothing from the messages tell that i did have a unrecoverable error [21:36] yeah but kinda hard to find. I found it once and archived it since [21:36] want me to try? [21:36] gbear14275: in what state the cdrom where ? [21:36] ciao a tutti [21:36] sto cercando delle guide x ubuntu 10.04 [21:36] ActionParsnip, a network address? the server is connected directly to the internet [21:36] !it | loris [21:36] loris: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:36] Monotoko: its still a network addres, the first address on the network will be 296.89.0.1 [21:36] zazuge: hmm... I've been reading through the cdrecord manpage. Think a -force would be worthy of a try [21:37] shadow_springs, http://www.silverex.org/download/ ^^ [21:37] zazuge: and it seems to be having issues on the finalization stage [21:37] shine1: http://imagebin.org/123109 one is a soft link to the other -- no "shading" here [21:37] how do I set up a mail server? I've set up apache countless times, but I've got a VPS and I want to switch over to that instead of this shared host for my website, but I don't want to loose my emails [21:37] gbear14275: i remmember that K3B (witch is replaced by another software i don't know) had an option to verify CD integrity [21:37] I put Ubuntu 10.10 on the server [21:37] Monotoko: if it's class C the highest address will be 296.89.0.254 269.89.0.255 is the broadcast address [21:37] there's gotta be a fairly easy/quick/fast way to set up a mail server... [21:37] when is gnome going to fix the very touchy window resize thing? [21:37] ActionParsnip: 296? O.o [21:38] gbear14275: was the resulting CD readable? [21:38] LjL: hahah [21:38] abstrakt: try your question in #ubuntu-server :-) [21:38] ActionParsnip, I thought the max address was 255.255.255.255 [21:38] zazuge: I found a program called qpxtool which looked at the cd quality and said they were good [21:38] Monotoko: ipv4 uses 8 bits so the higest adress is 255, [21:38] zazuge: no [21:38] oh thats kool. thanks for the link [21:38] Monotoko: thats an experimental mask [21:38] ActionParsnip, so its impossible to get 296.89.0.0? [21:38] zazuge: when ejected and re-insterted they wouldn't even list [21:39] gbear14275: well maybe you need to ask someone better than me at this stuff [21:39] Monotoko: yes, the highest value from 8 bits is 255 [21:39] MeanEYE, thanks [21:39] gbear14275: post it in the forum [21:39] zazuge: you're time is appreciated [21:39] ActionParsnip, .... so how have I got logs from 296.89.0.0? [21:39] want to help me craft a better burn command? [21:39] gbear14275: sorry if i didn't help you [21:39] Monotoko: i have no idea [21:39] zazuge: would sudo cdrecord -vvVV bootcd.iso give more detail? [21:40] zazuge: or what would be the best way to try again? [21:40] abstrakt: limit the speed and give it the drive [21:40] abstrakt: spisify the drive explicitly [21:40] abstrakt: man cdrecord [21:41] Monotoko: i suggest you read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network [21:41] hi I have noticed that applications using Java are really slow if we use OpenJDK. Could you explain this lack of optimisation ? [21:41] abstrakt: there's a way to know the drive id from some command that is written in the man cdrecord [21:41] abstrakt: it's a long read [21:41] gbear14275: sorry i replied to abstrakt by error [21:42] zazuge: it's ok... wasn't sure about that [21:42] anyone know a vnc channel ? [21:42] ActionParsnip, I know the last address is 255.255.255.255, thats why it confused me when I looked === prumar is now known as mar69 [21:42] UserX7, are you there? [21:42] zazuge: believe it or not the man page for cdrecord isn't in ubuntu... but I looked it up online [21:42] gbear14275: k3b was a good cd burner maybe you'll have to install a use it [21:42] zazuge: did you take a look at my previous command? [21:42] Monotoko: definately, thats a broadcast address too [21:43] furi: yeah don't really have any more ideas.. [21:43] where can found drivers for Network card for Power Edge T610 'Ubuntu server' [21:43] gbear14275: yes [21:43] i hope i've found myself in the right place [21:43] i want to update from 10.04 to 10.10 [21:43] having issues [21:43] I was reading the manpage for fsck and I noticed that the -l option was available to fsck on multiple disks concurently, is there an option fsck in parallel on a single disk? [21:43] zazuge: is that the right format to give more information? [21:43] ActionParsnip, Looking back, over the last few days...I have had connections from IP's into there 500's [21:43] hola all [21:43] ActionParsnip, as far as I know...they are all failed attempts at cracking [21:44] Monotoko: they arent IPs, possibly IPv6, iv not looked into ipv [21:44] 6 [21:44] gbear14275: an ordinary command would look like this cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw speed=2 --eject image.iso [21:44] guntbert, see http://imagebin.org/123110 , I have the shading ... [21:44] hi I have noticed that applications using Java are really slow if we use OpenJDK. Could you explain this lack of optimisation ? [21:44] ActionParsnip, I thought Ipv6, but it is not enabled on the server [21:44] could someone take a look at this for me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620920 [21:44] gbear14275: but i remmember that when it comes to SCSI you had to give it another argument [21:44] zazuge: er..i think the reason there's no cdrecord manpage is that ubuntu doesnt have cdrecord. it has wodim. [21:45] hello. [21:45] maco: well cdrecord as a command executes... [21:45] jymere, I tried eclipse with OpenJDK and SunJDK and nothing really changed... but you can try [21:45] Monotoko: it can be [21:45] maco: but perhaps that is my problem... [21:45] gbear14275: try installing k3b [21:45] im in a live installation, and i cant choose any keyboard now [21:45] zazuge: ok [21:45] gbear14275: it's an good interface to cdrecord [21:45] hi [21:45] gbear14275: ah, wodim does provide a cdrecord command. nevermind [21:46] it has installed, but waits for me to choose the keyboard, which i cant... [21:46] help [21:46] no idea whether it works same as cdrtools though [21:46] gbear14275: it will help you get all argument for SCSI to use it [21:46] zazuge: wait it requires kde? :( [21:46] ok I said somme apllications : for instance Maple or Jdownloader [21:46] shine1: ah, you are in a terminal? [21:47] gbear14275: no only some [21:47] 293mb is alot of k3b [21:47] gbear14275: no only some kde libraries just 70m not much ;-) [21:47] After this operation, 239MB of additional disk space will be used. [21:47] guntbert, yes, I am in a terminal [21:47] jymere, maybe it is due to optimizations... but I don't have that much experience [21:47] gbear14275: what 293mb 0_0 ?? [21:48] zazuge: After this operation, 239MB of additional disk space will be used. [21:48] Does anyone have a few moments to answer some questions for a linux noob? [21:48] gbear14275: for me it only needs 70m to install [21:48] shine1: by default ls uses colors to distinguish file types [21:48] zazuge: thats just the dl size [21:48] gbear14275: ah didn't see it X_X [21:48] any ever try to use logmein to log into a linux box? [21:48] mackedo, ask away,, u will get answers [21:48] mackedo, syre [21:48] ok I just wanted if someone have noticed it too [21:48] zazuge: Need to get 67.9MB of archives. [21:48] After this operation, 239MB of additional disk space will be used. [21:48] gbear14275: well if will help with your problem it's not much [21:49] zazuge: true statement.. here I go! [21:49] how can i reset my console prefs to default via a livecd? [21:49] shine1: man ls will tell you how to change that [21:49] gbear14275: and you won't regret using K3B because it's interface is like NERO [21:50] gnusosa, hey, try ##linux [21:50] gbear14275: and in the future you can install other KDE apps too ^_^ [21:50] the guys there are more knowledgable [21:50] guntbert, I agree that it makes sense to distinguish folder types this way, I was hoping there is a way to turn this off, looks really annoying to me when I have lots of sub-folders under a folder [21:50] I just set up Ubuntu 10.10 on 2 computers. Both use a netgear USB wireless card. Both connect to the network perfectly. My issue is filesharing between them, and a third computer, an XP box which is hardwired to the router.

[21:59] cakez: and i saw your question, by the way, i just don't have an answer. if it actually finished installing, you could try forcing a reboot, but you could end up with a system that doesn't boot.

[22:14] advice* [22:14] MdNtSnow: do a clean install [22:14] magicianlord: don't think so, you can use some !ppa under your own risk, compile it yoyrself, or intall debs [22:14] magicianlord: no, 2.6.32 is a lucid kernel [22:14] magicianlord: you can use the kernels from the kernel ppa [22:14] need help with vcn [22:14] afaik, i'm on 2.6.36 [22:14] abstrakt: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 for configuring [22:14] magicianlord: or you can download .deb package of newer kernel [22:14] need help setting up vnc on a command line machine running a minimal HTPC display [22:15] ActionParsnip: that's good then. because then i can install the nvidia gpu driver from safe mode, and not worry about it being screwed up by an upgrade from apt, correct? [22:15] a clean install -_- [22:15] gotta be shitting me xD [22:15] MdNtSnow: uname -r will tell you which kernel you're using [22:15] guntbert, so it's not /etc/fstab that I need to modify? [22:15] abstrakt: and for your earlier question: did you see http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ ? [22:15] magicianlord: they are VERY experimental and not supported here but if you feel you need a newer kernel you can use them at your own risk: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa [22:15] ahhh 2.6.32-26 [22:15] i have an offline 10.4.1 system, with all apps installed that are needed and nvidia drivers installed, from safe mode. everythign is working properly. [22:15] bastidrazor: thanks [22:16] what's the path to my httpd binary under debian/ubuntu ? [22:16] abstrakt: sorry, I misread, yes /etc/fstab is the place [22:16] Dr4g: try: which httpd [22:16] ActionParsnip: i dont need a newer kernel on that pc. i'm just owrried about handing hte pc over to someone else, having them do an upgrade to a newer kernel, and then the nvidia drivers stoppign working. but, if they will not be upgraded past kernel 2.6.32,then no worries [22:16] magicianlord: then why do you need a new kernel? [22:16] ActionParsnip, apache2 [22:17] i really dont want to do a clean install... [22:17] Dr4g: either way, the 'which' command tells you what is ran when you execute a command as well as path [22:17] Dr4g: he is saying use the command 'which' to find out where the binary is located.. which apache2 would give a result [22:17] magicianlord: i wouldnt worry :) [22:17] Dr4g, /usr/sbin/apache2 [22:17] ty rob [22:17] what does the ubuntu installer does differently when installing nvidia from its repo than the nvidia isntaller? [22:18] the nvidia installer installs packages they have compiled [22:18] magicianlord: rep are better preconfigured I would say [22:18] well i assume everything in the repo has been checked to make sure it works [22:18] generally they don't have a kernel module package, and you have to build it, and it could fail [22:18] magicianlord: its a nice packaged way of settings stuff up, the driver is proprietar so the installed things will be the same [22:18] whereas the ubuntu repository has drivers that WORK [22:19] ok fine [22:19] magicianlord: I have tried to install proprietary on my debian installation and I had to use one from rep cuz otherwise it was pain to get it working [22:19] i have a 64 bit processor, should i get the 32 bit or 64 bit 10.10 ubuntu install? [22:19] abstrakt, do you have experiencing generating gdb backtraces from PHP segfaults ? [22:19] how much ram do you have [22:19] petan: the nvidia installer says the distro-specific script fails, but hte subsequent steps works fine and the drivesr are working very well [22:19] magicianlord: so rep are usually easier [22:19] can someone help me figure out how to get virtual box to recognize my usb (ipod to be specific) [22:19] Hi. My sound is working.. But my microphone isnt.. How do you set up a microphone in Ubuntu? [22:19] MdNtSnow: how much ram? [22:19] i install from init 3, safe mode [22:19] ActionParsnip, 2gb [22:19] abstrakt: but as I don't have a dual boot system I don't really know what to change -- normally it should do it automatically [22:19] this document has some ambiguities that i'm not sure about: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php [22:19] Dr4g, really? full on segfaults? [22:19] MdNTSnow: Unles you have 4G+ or are using it as a server, go 32 bit [22:20] Dr4g, what are you doing that's segfaulting php? [22:20] gotcha [22:20] Dr4g, have you tried using xdebug to find the offending line? [22:20] virtual box...anyone [22:20] maiku__, what about it [22:20] MdNtSnow: if you are going to do a lot of video / audio encoding, use 64bit or if you antiipate installing more ram then 64 bit, otherwise 32bit is fine [22:20] abstrakt, can we go to PRIVMSG or somewhere less spammy ? [22:20] Durped: Click the sound icon up at the top, then click sound preferences. A window should then pop up, choose the input tab, and then choose the device. [22:20] maiku_, they have their own channel... #vbox =) [22:20] i need it to recognize my usb (ipod) [22:21] !ipod | maiku__ [22:21] maiku__: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [22:21] maiku__, ahh, dunno then, sorry [22:21] hello people [22:21] sheeeeeeet [22:21] i need your help === Auv5[Away] is now known as Auv5 [22:21] maiku__, the virual machine has a "settings" dialog where you can add things like extra drives and USB ports and Firewire ports and stuff [22:21] maiku__, look in the settings for your vm [22:21] thanks anyways [22:21] ActionParsnip: I assume its okay to do video / audio encoding in 32bit as well [22:21] abstrakt, i'm doing extension development in APC. I'm getting segfault and trying to identify what part is errornous. gdb can give me a backtrace but i need a little linux questions [22:21] aight lemme give it a go. i think i already did though [22:22] i need hel whit my sound card [22:22] can sommeone tell me how do i set a code on shutdown? [22:22] Svendbenno: There is no devices in Input.. [22:22] abstrakt, the php page says "Ensure that the directory in which you're running PHP, or the PHP-enabled httpd, has write permissions for the user who's running PHP. [22:22] " however i'm running this via apache so not sure which DIR this will be [22:22] imagine i want to close a program on shutdown. how do i do it? [22:22] MdNtSnow: sure, but 64bit makes it a bit faster [22:22] okay [22:22] thanks [22:23] Oh. I was looking at the wrong area. There is one. But it doesn't work? Maybe it's not using correct sound drivers? [22:23] noone can help me on this? [22:23] Celso_: i dident really see a full question.. if you shut down.. the apps will close.. whats the issue? [22:23] Celso_: you can add a command in ~/.bash_logout [22:24] Celso_: all programs are closed on shutdown anyway [22:24] Celso_: you do realize you waited, less than a minute before you got whiney? [22:24] * Monotoko has just had more attempts from invalid IP's.... [22:24] i know but this can solve the hybrid graphics problem [22:24] you know what's interesting. nouveau flickers upon starts and when totem starts with ongoing nvidia enabled, but does NOT do so with a dedicated video card plugged in [22:25] so now we are getting to the actual problem [22:25] upon startup [22:25] anyone here know of a good FPS online game for Linux ???

If you want to make a 'script' that has commands to do somthing. the script is just a text file. use any text editor you like.

[22:31] i need to find a file that do the same as /rc.local.conf to shutdown my graphics [22:31] Hi there! Somebody using lessc ? === Alex__ is now known as DerpinLlama [22:31] if i do that, hybrid graphics (part of the problem) is fixed [22:32] and sorry for my bad english -_- [22:32] Celso_: all files in /etc/rc0.d are executed on shutdown [22:33] ciao [22:33] Celso_: when the users log out and gdm starts up. You could make GDM run some command that 'fixs' your graphics.. Ive not seen gnome or KDE have any sort of log-OUT script.. what if Gnome just crashes back to GDM.. then your logout thing would proberly get skipped. [22:33] So I've looked everywhere and I don't have any CDs or a flash drive, but I do have a USB to USB cable. Any chance I can install Ubuntu by connecting two computers with it? [22:33] !someone | Polatouche [22:33] Polatouche: 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? [22:33] Celso_: You want somtign to run when the System shuts down? or the user logs out and goes back to GDM or what exactly are you running.. whats the 'core' problem? [22:34] i edited my /etc/rc.local.conf and added the two comands to shutdown ati and switch to intel [22:34] Habstinat: most usb to usb cables are serial type connections.. not bootable from. [22:34] Habstinat: There's a chance you could do a network install with your other computer as the host. [22:34] on login [22:34] Celso_: ive never seen a /etc/rc.local.conf just a /etc/rc.local that gets ran at the end of the system boot process. [22:34] I googled how to deal with dircolors, and now has the problems solved. Thanks much, guntbert, [22:34] jfv34: Any documentation on this? Thanks. [22:35] I can't launch lessc : command not found. Where can I find it (less is correctly installed via sudo gem install less) [22:35] Celso_: rc.local does NOT get ran at login. it gets ran during the boot process. befor a user even logs in normally [22:35] and i need the add a comand before shutdown to turn on my ati or else my computer dont shutdown [22:35] !find lessc [22:35] shine1: glad you worked it out :-) congrats [22:35] File lessc found in libvips-dev [22:35] Habstinate: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/08/how-to-install-ubuntu-locally-over-the-network/ [22:35] and thenico [22:35] where should i report feature addition patches for xserver-xorg-input-wacom in ubuntu?

[22:38] is there a way to get information about RAM when dmidecode doesn't work? [22:38] Celso_: its using the sysv service method that will still work in 10.10 i belive [22:38] jfv34: So is there any documentation on the hooking two computers to a local network option? [22:39] guntbert as described here: http://lesscss.org/docs.html [22:39] Habstinat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet [22:39] Celso_: or if wanting to use the Upstart way the example service -> cat hwclock-save.conf [22:39] , well, i think that will work [22:39] I'm trying to install ubuntu in a virtual box. I have created 3 different storage drives. I want to assign one of them to be the swap, but apparently it has been so long that I can't remember how. I tried manually typing /swap as the mount point but the installation still complains that I haven't configured a swap drive. What should I do? [22:39] On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else. I already cleared out ~?.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail. Ideas? [22:40] Celso_: /etc/init/hwclock-save.conf may work as a basis for you to change. [22:40] Neillithan: swap partitions dont have a mount point. the filesystem on them is swap. [22:40] Polatouche: I cannot see why you don't use the ubuntu software tools [22:40] Dr_Willis: o. [22:40] but can i edit hwclock-save.conf to add a comand to shutdown ati? === saintlee is now known as newboon2age_ [22:40] guntbert: which one ? [22:40] Celso_: COPY the script.. rename it.. edit it... [22:41] Polatouche: apt-get or aptitude or synaptic [22:41] This is a ruby gem [22:42] Dr_Willis: thank you I was able to figure it out :) [22:42] Polatouche: and it seems that the program LESS is something different from less on your ubuntu [22:42] I know less for converting less to css is different from less/more [22:43] So the command line is lessc [22:43] hi guys,how can i stop a pendrive to open windows automatic,i just want to automount wich it does but not autorun [22:43] anyone know why system monitor would say 10.04 but when I go to upgrade it says there are no upgrades avilable [22:43] But I can't launch lessc and I don't know why!!! [22:44] I never used ruby nor gem [22:44] SorayaUbuntu: nautilus' preferences [22:44] Polatouche: ok, I obviously have no idea about your problem - sorry :-) [22:44] no SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry [22:44] od3n_: you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to have Promt=normal rather than Prompt=lts [22:44] sorry, lost my connection [22:44] od3n_: i'm guessing that you need to switch the upgrade config to where it accepts nonLTS upgrades [22:44] argh [22:44] anyone ever seen that before and by chance have an alternative? [22:44] guntbert: Thank you anyway! [22:45] xangua, i se never prompt to star or start program on media insertion ? [22:45] is that the one ?

[22:58] !sound [22:58] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [22:58] BluesKaj: usually a user who ran a GUI app with sudo instead of gksudo :-) [22:58] Dr_Willis, already done that.

[23:08] On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else. I already cleared out ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail. Ideas? === replicatroll is now known as replicasex [23:09] people, how i end a command on the moment i end session? [23:10] *how i add a command [23:11] <_ming> hello all [23:12] <_ming> havin problem with kernel 2.6.34 [23:13] <_ming> it hard blocked my wireless [23:13] <_ming> anyone willing to help me for a few?

Im still trying to get url/links to stay on my Panel (after reboot) Tried launcher with firefox url but after eboot icon is gone from Panel or Drawer. Hmm [23:16] where on the hd is the binary for the onscreen keyboard? my keyboard is not working atm [23:16] /usr/bin/binary /bin/binary /usr/local/bin/binary [23:16] do you know the name of the program for the OSK? [23:16] no [23:17] gnubie: That says no process was found. [23:17] binary is onboard [23:17] try /usr/bin/onboard [23:18] this is the default "stock" OSK in 10.10 [23:18] gimpy2944; are you in console mode now? [23:18] Hello, Is there a way of accessing a remote ipp print server requiering authenticated user using cups. Each time I try adding a user name to uri like ipp:user@server/printer the user get stripped. What is the solution? [23:18] jep1985: ty got it [23:18] np [23:18] gnubie: I'm SSH'd in. [23:21] hmm, my F2 through F4 keys don't work in one terminal program, byobu...they work just fine in midnight commander [23:21] and they also work through putty ssh localhost [23:21] what could be set up wrong? [23:21] gimpy2944; never have used ssh, but when I log straight in and have only a background I can right click and start a terminal from which the command will resore my taskbars, etc. [23:22] gnubie: Right click does nothing at all. [23:23] So I found an old CD that I burned Ubuntu 9.10 to a while back. When I try to edit the contents, I get a message saying that the disk is read only. S'pose I'll have to find a new disk...? [23:23] you can't edit the contents of a burnt disc [23:23] 99% of the time it's a closed session [23:23] the ROM in CD ROM stands for Read Only Memory [23:23] hello. is there something strange in this mounting table for an ubuntu server http://pastie.org/1295947 ? [23:24] you'll have to copy the contents of the disk to a folder on your hard drive to edit the files [23:24] jep1985, so I guess I can't clear it either? [23:24] Habstinat: you can install from 9.10 and upgrade, but you'll have to download a new ISO to install a newer version [23:24] Read Only [23:24] if it's RW that's rewritable [23:24] so no, you can't clear a CD ROM disk [23:24] once it's burnt, it's final [23:24] yeats: How would I go about doing that? [23:25] i suggest using USB media to install OS files [23:25] cheaper than buying CDs over and over [23:25] !download | Habstinat [23:25] Habstinat: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:25] jep1985: Don't have any flash drives. [23:25] gimpy2944; I don't know what ssh allows you to do [23:25] you can purchase them fairly cheap, if you're in the USA walmart has 4GB models for ~12$ [23:26] yeats: I know how to download it, I meant how I could upgrade once I have the newer .iso on 9.10. [23:26] how to use natty repos? [23:26] In anonymous ftp, I guess typically servers ask users to use their email as their password. Where is this email written though? I can't find the file [23:26] ubuntu 9.10 is a downgrade from ubuntu 10.04 [23:26] in the Ubuntu release name, the first number is the year, second is the month [23:26] i.e. 9.10 is 2009, October, 10.04 is 2009, April [23:27] jep1985, I know that, I was wondering how to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10...? I have a 9.10 disk burned already. [23:27] you should be alble to upgrade ubuntu with the update-manager program [23:27] oh [23:27] Habstinat: after you install, you should automatically be prompted to upgrade [23:27] ^ [23:27] yeats: Ok. Thanks. [23:27] I'll try this now. [23:27] Habstinat: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should work as well iirc [23:27] says something like "A new distribution upgrade" is available [23:27] Habstinat: good luck [23:27] will say 10.04, 10.10, etc [23:28] okay, so i'm having problems getting sudo to preserve a users path [23:28] dist-upgrade seems to only upgrade the kernel for me, not the base files =/ [23:28] i have env_reset and env_keep+="PATH" in sudoers [23:28] Habstinat: and there's no direct upgrade path to 10.10, but 10.04 is a solid release :-) [23:28] i.e. "cat /etc/issue" still returns ubuntu 10.04 [23:28] and sudo sudo -V shows path should be kept [23:28] anyone have any ideas? [23:29] Please Someone know of a workaround forcing authentification on remote ipp printer. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/160978?comments=all reopened. [23:29] does anyone know of a comprehensive list of nvidia cards most compatible with Ubuntu 10.04? [23:29] Excuse me. I'm new to using linux, and I'm definately starting to like it more than Win7. However I'm having a lot of problems with my video driver. It seems like I need to install envyng-core, but apt-get doesn't find it. I've downloaded it otherwise, but I'm not sure what to do with it to get it installed. Could someone help me? [23:29] enigm4 Ubuntu has a Hardware Compatibility List [23:29] mtro: is the file a .deb? [23:30] dpkg -i packagename.deb will do it [23:30] enigm4: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [23:30] awesome thanks jep1985 [23:30] I'm still trying to get url/links to stay on my Panel (after reboot) Tried launcher with firefox url but after eboot icon is gone from Panel or Drawer.

[23:33] yep [23:33] been following the guide [23:33] is there an easy way to configure dhcp3 and bind9?

[23:34] @methods [23:34] i can't even do an apt-get upgrade [23:34] methods: can you post the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [23:34] don't i have to do that first ? [23:34] ? [23:35] methods ::: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/howto-upgrade-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10-to-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/1182/ [23:35] which exactly? [23:36] is there a general computer help channel? [23:36] jep1985: yea that's basically the same thing as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:36] methods: hmm.. [23:36] what mirror are you using? [23:36] try us.archive.ubuntu.com rather than archive.ubuntu.com [23:36] if you're in the US that is.. [23:36] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [23:37] hmm, my F2 through F4 keys don't work in one terminal program, byobu (like screen)\--they work just fine in midnight commander...if I go to /bin/sh and type it I get ^[OQ, whether inside screen or outside. [23:37] methods: that would explain it :-) [23:37] Anyone using scratchbox/getting this error in 10.10? Added debconf frontend setting in scratchbox.\nError opening terminal: xterm.

I used compiz long ago and just got a new comp so I can use again. [23:38] yeats: explain ? [23:38] methods: i'm looking at this hold on lets see if i can figure it out ;) [23:38] Is there a package to dl more effects? [23:38] so anyone with that sudo problem (sudo not keeping a users path, even though env_keep is set to PATH?) [23:39] methods: I think you'll probably want to do a fresh install of whatever release you're trying to upgrade to.... [23:39] I'd rather now [23:39] not [23:40] methods: can you give me your sources.list? [23:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid [23:40] hm wait this time I'm getting better luck [23:40] looks like `sudo aptitude install update-manager-core update-manager` is working now [23:40] oops wait [23:41] E: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-manager/update-manager-core_0.93.34_i386.deb: 404 Not Found [23:41] the wierd thing is when i browse old-releases.ubuntu.com with firefox, the directories are there [23:41] Anyone know how to move the Gnome panels from one monitor to another by default? [23:41] i have my video cam working in skype, how can i take a picture from my webcome [23:41] methods: I can see that there are others reporting similar problems with intrepid and the old-releases mirror on the forums [23:42] yeah they've fucked it up somehow [23:42] methods: looks like it's not going to work :-/ [23:42] let's see here [23:42] Hey [23:42] Can anyone help me? [23:42] alright... try this mirror instead methods... [23:42] After i drag url onto my Panel or put it in a Panel Drawer they are there until I reboot, and then they are gone.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:43] jep1985: i can't even run upate with that one [23:43] fgj: sorry - didn't see that you had already asked ;-) [23:44] with the osuosl mirror?

But ive tried Nexuiz and the graphics is messed up. Tryed Tux racer also. and it also gives poor result. By graphics card is Radeon X1200 [23:47] !mp3lib [23:47] fgj: are there switches you can run on tuxracer? [23:48] Hi all, is there any documentation out there that might help me figure out how to use packages for Lucid in Maverick? [23:48] is mplayer the only player that uses mp3lib (as opposed the proprietery mp3 libraries) [23:48] !mp3 [23:48] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:48] planet ubuntu's rss feed is, apparently, broken. is there an IRC chan that that can be reported in/to? [23:48] ActionParsnip, I don't know what you mean. I'm just trying to get my graphics to work for the games one way or the other.. [23:48] i.e. mplayer can play them, but others can't i.e. rhythmbox [23:48] fgj: try: man tuxracer or whatever the command is to start the app [23:49] hi [23:49] i have ubuntu 10.10 [23:49] sapiens__: cool [23:50] tr3nton: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and all plays should be ok, also install vlc and w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS) [23:50] and i have an atheros AR9285 [23:50] people yelled at me and called me a fool when i mentioned w32codecs [23:50] ActionParsnip: ok thanks.. I just thought if mplayer can play them, you think the other players would be able to [23:50] and a Zydas usb wifi [23:51] tr3nton: usually there is a central use of codecs, so I'm suprised its not flying [23:51] ActionParsnip, Is there no easy way with menus to install or something? i don't know how to program. Can't stuff like that not be fixed with drivers, addons or menus??? I'm no [23:51] Please Someone know of a workaround forcing authentification on remote ipp printer. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/160978?comments=all reopened. [23:52] ath doesn't work, i can connect to 192.168.1.1 but i can't visit any other web.

[23:52] Zydas works with the same configuration as Atheros [23:52] fgj: you'll need to use terminal [23:53] ActionParsnip: you knoe anything abought netbooks [23:53] fgj: once you work out the switches you can add it to the menu item [23:53] gogeta1: in what sense? [23:53] ActionParsnip: eepc had a feature in its defult os it would auto lvm a sd card to expand stoage [23:53] hello, I'm installing Ubuntu for the first time, planning on using it as a secondary OS to Windows, and planning to use Wine with it, how much space should I allot for it? [23:53] salut [23:53] ActionParsnip: just orderd a teanssend 8gb class 6 for my 4gb eee [23:53] Teh_Chaos: how much space do you have? [23:54] gogeta1: never used lvm personally [23:54] ActionParsnip, i have no interest or no time to get into heavy programing. I have games i want to play. Such as nexuiz. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with Radeon x1200 grapics card.. i hate programing and it takes alot of time... Dont want to get into it... just want to see if there is any obvious thing to look for such as addons. drivers or some other stuff that i should insall in order to get my graphics to work in games.!!! [23:54] fgj: its not programming at all [23:54] Teh_Chaos: 10 gigabytes [23:54] Teh_Chaos: but allocate more if you can [23:54] yeats: A little over 100GB, but I'd like to not use it all. Basically space isn't an issue, but I'd like not to use too much. [23:54] for games RTFM, they normally have a list of bugs and fixes [23:55] Teh_Chaos: go 50gb [23:55] fgj: you just may need an extra switch or two to make things work so you need to experiment then apply findings to the gui item [23:55] aeMaeth, dont use that language here. its not acceptable. [23:55] fgj: adding switches to an executable is HARDLY programming [23:55] I hv dragged some urls from firefox bookmarks on to my Panel and Drawer there. But after reboot they are all gone except one. Why? How to fix pls? [23:55] Teh_Chaos: I agree with sagaci === mikado is now known as Guest61252 [23:55] bazhang, read the fine manual? [23:55] so about 50GB? [23:55] alright, thanks [23:55] aeMaeth, just dont. [23:55] Teh_Chaos: it depends largely on what you're hoping to do [23:56] well, mainly because a lot of the programming we're doing requires Ubuntu is why I'm installing it, but I'd like to have Wine w/ it too. [23:56] Teh_Chaos: 50GB would be a good start [23:57] how to change the directory to the disk drive? [23:57] i am in root [23:57] i have no interest or no time to get into heavy programing. I have games i want to play. Such as nexuiz. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with Radeon x1200 grapics card.. i hate programing and it takes alot of time...

[23:58] if it's mounted, cd /media, ls, and then cd name_of_drive [23:58] scorchgeek: 79 GB Filesystem? [23:58] sl33k_: it'll probably have some weird long name in that case, in my experience [23:58] sl33k_: should be under the /media directory [23:58] sl33k_: so cd /media ; ls [23:58] help! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug [23:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/535222 [23:59] and how to mount the other drives?
