[00:00] g_: you don't need an application at all, this is kinda fun. [00:00] conky is all widgets no? [00:00] what do I have to do to be able to set up my laptop for "offline imap" so I can read and delete main offline then sync back to gmail what I connect again? [00:00] using evolution [00:00] Anyone could help me get sudo dkms remove -m mantis -v 2.6.35-22-generic --all [00:00] to work [00:00] nemo: well plan b was to knock up a php script to pull data and write it to the backgroun d [00:01] jpds: To re-enter play after being killed. [00:01] Xborder: okay, are you on a laptop or a desktop style computer? [00:01] Agent_Smith kill xinet.d and then stop ssh [00:01] jpds: lol ... like in counter strike [00:01] puddles: ok, thanks a lot anyway... I'm in ubuntu and I can work perfect with unity broken :P [00:01] Agent_Smith: Exactly. [00:01] Anyone here could help me with empathy? [00:01] !ask | bombshell [00:01] bombshell: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:01] g_: with some effort imagemagick and gconf-tool would do [00:01] r007: I already undestand whats happing in my machine [00:01] g_: mmm, imagemagick renders into your background, tell nautilus background has changed? [00:01] Gnea i'm on a dektop. and everything was fine yesterday. today cant launch the apps [00:01] r007: http://upstart.ubuntu.com [00:01] *desktop [00:01] r007: jpds helps me [00:02] lol [00:02] r007: thanks for your help as well [00:02] g_: this means you have to use a local background in a file you can write into :-) [00:02] Xborder: okay. on the front of the desktop 'box' itself, do you have some small differently colored lights to tell you that the system is on? [00:02] hey guys [00:02] I need help putting the internet on my computer [00:02] hey every1 [00:02] jpds: nowadays like in call of duty ... lol [00:02] Gnea LED as in the light on the tower? yes i have that and it blinks as in "thinking" [00:02] On my ubuntu computer [00:02] jpds: thanks ... [00:02] TheBaws: you'll need a *LOT* of hard drive space for that [00:02] <_jesse_> TheBaws: the whole internet!? you think it'll fit? [00:02] Its harder than windows [00:03] bye all [00:03] puddles: i thought all bgs had to be local? [00:03] TheBaws: i cant do it either [00:03] Agent_Smith: No worries. [00:03] Empathy, once I go offline, all the options are grayed out and I can't log back into my accounts? [00:03] TheBaws: what your troubles ? [00:03] I try to use the wireless internet [00:03] with the wireless card [00:03] but it says it can't [00:03] Xborder: okay, yes, those are the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). there should be one for power, another for the hard drive (HD or HDD) - the blinking one is usually for the HDD [00:04] <_jesse_> TheBaws: do you mean wireless or broadband? [00:04] what kind of wireless card do you have? [00:04] TheBaws: wht you gotta do, is you gotta buy a full pro computer to run the internets [00:04] Gnea yeah the green one as in power and a red blinking one for cpu processing [00:04] g_: he ment extra (copy) file to edit and substitute. [00:04] I mean the wireless internets [00:04] <_jesse_> TheBaws: so you have a wireless router you are trying to connect to? [00:04] what do I have to do to be able to set up my laptop for "offline imap" so I can read and delete main offline then sync back to gmail what I connect again, using evolution for the mail client? [00:05] yes [00:05] BTW this is on my PS3 [00:05] TheBaws, does iwlist work? [00:05] <_jesse_> TheBaws: ubuntu on your bs3? [00:05] Does anybody know if there's a way for the USB drives to appear on a windows virtualmachine with virtual box? any other virtual machine will do too, but I'll have to reinstall, so I'd rather use virtualbox if it's possible [00:05] <_jesse_> *ps3 [00:05] yeh [00:05] <_jesse_> ah [00:05] <_jesse_> lol [00:05] I want the intenets on it [00:05] <_jesse_> TheBaws: I'm not sure how well they support that wireless card [00:05] Xborder: actually, the red one is blinking to tell you that the HDD is processing information, which is sort of an extension of the CPU itself doing work, but not all the time, because the CPU has to do simple things like keeping track of time, which the HDD doesn't blink for, so the LED is only blinking when things like applications are launched, files are being saved, and when data is being moved in and out from RAM to SWAP and so forth [00:05] Ah. [00:06] maybe I need to use the cable internets [00:06] lacrymology, not ubuntu related.. ask #vbox.. yes you can hook up physical usb drives to a vm guest [00:06] <_jesse_> TheBaws: I would suggest looking around http://psubuntu.com/ [00:06] yagoo: thanks [00:06] lacrymology: you can share the mount point as a folder in teh config, or use the closed source version. i suggest you ask in #vbox as it is more specific to your issue [00:06] okay I will go to that site [00:06] Xborder: So, when you attempt to launch an application, does the red LED blink more often than not? [00:07] _jesse_: oi how do i make a computer be able to watch the tvs [00:07] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: with a tv tuner [00:07] where do i buy one? [00:07] Gnea not really. it keeps blinking at the same rate as before [00:07] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: I'd recommend newegg.com [00:07] I got one from the ebay [00:07] I bought the one with the lights on it [00:07] Xborder: okay. what version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [00:07] i only have $40 [00:07] larcymlogy you can share it with the guest from the host iirc theres no way to assign a usb device unless its a hd [00:08] <_jesse_> xx--ms-gulati-sn: that should be enough [00:08] How do you guys usually watch TV on Ubuntu? tvtime? [00:08] I use the remote [00:08] ok [00:08] redfrog: preferably with mythtv [00:08] Gnea 10.10? dont know if thats what you need :\ [00:09] Xborder: okay, can you open a terminal?

[00:13] TheBaws: well, there's directx8 for wine [00:13] TheBaws: if you're going to game, keep a dualboot with Windows [00:13] My computer just doesn't seem to recognize it. [00:14] how to i play games on my computer?? [00:14] Ive used Linux since back in the days of having to build from source yeah it was a pain but ffs you cant call it now and say windows works better with all the package managers [00:14] xx--ms-gulati-sn: use the ubuntu software center. it should be in applications -> games [00:14] Gnea yeah but the only way i know how to set it up is going to my im accounts and since i have none yet set it up by putting my msn credentials the first time. yet when i go to system -> preferences-> im and voip accounts nothing happens. no "window" pops out [00:14] xx--ms-gulati-sn, you have to donate 35 dollars.. then you can play games [00:14] yagoo: ok [00:15] Habstinat: you probably already know this, have you tried the 32bit?

[00:16] xx--ms-gulati-sn anything thats better than your windows :D [00:16] ridin: No, but my computer is 64bit (I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu on it right now, but it was with Wubi and I want to switch to a partition) and I want to have the operating system match. Why, does x32 tend to have better luck with this sort of thing?

[00:17] TheBaws: this is #ubuntu, you really need to stay to topic. talking about anything to do with piracy is a no-no. [00:17] I don't have an Ubuntu desktop handy at the moment. Could anyone tell me where it is in the menu hierarchy? i.e. Start | Tools | Terminal prompt [00:17] Pici sorry [00:17] sorry [00:17] ohhhh [00:17] sorry [00:18] deinspanjer: what destkop you are using ?

[00:30] the weird part i pinged gmail and in the same time opened firefox [00:31] greg__: thinking, most obvious would to try second connection [00:31] greg__: or you could wget everything, and then open it in firefox [00:31] and it did say internet time out [00:31] haha its night and raining where I am, but thanks [00:31] and gksu, and buch of x apps... can someone explain?

[00:31] Lint01: maybe because they have libraries that are dependent on CPP to process before the apps are compiled? [00:31] I was just hoping there was some magic way to change the terms of a ssh connection while it was already open [00:31] mikha_ that is weird maybe a coincidence but looks like firefox was waiting for an icmp packet [00:32] You got trouble with gksu thingy?

[00:34] Lint01, when it's there on boot it gets set to /dev/sdB1 but if i connect it later it is /dev/sdC1 [00:34] Gnea yeah ok me too. but now nothing happens :\ i think because of the 3 defaults on the password and encription thing. maybe the 3 default are in conflict (again noob thinking maybe) [00:34] mikah_ what happens if you ping localhost?

[00:38] carandruag: for instance: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [00:38] Xborder: I don't understand - are those 3 different applications or 3 different accounts? [00:39] acal, the last time i reinstalled grub was installing it in the MBR, then making a menu.lst for grub [00:39] masen, no. aptitude is still running. I still don't know if it will become a problem. It might. But before restart the computer and hope everything is okay, I was hoping to simply reconnect [00:39] mikah_ do you have lynx instaleed or can you use wget? [00:39] I did put up a iptables prerouting forward, nothing else. If i make a request on eth1 ip the packages get forwarded, but on ppp0 ip they just get to the firewall and nothing more. Theres no drop polity, its all set to accept. [00:39] yeah alright I'm gonna give it a shot, but I gotta exit out of the irc client [00:39] acal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 [00:39] thanks for your help [00:39] i will get lunx 1 sec [00:39] carandraug: good luck with that mate, is the server distant? [00:39] acal, I usually install to the master boot record, I dont know how you installed grub, it also sounds like it could be potentially a hard drive going bad, I would reinstall grub just to test [00:40] ridin: 10x was the slowest option given in the Ubuntu "burn to disk" tool. Jordan_U: There doesn't seem to be that option. I'll check the MD5s of each individual file once the burn is complete. [00:40] okay let me test the script then I'll try the reinstall [00:40] !grub [00:40] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[00:40] question: in 10.4 I want to remove the "shutdown" item from the system menu for all users. how can I do this? [00:40] Gnea Empathy is the msn client right? PS3 media server is an app to connect to your ps3 to stream contents, movies and stuff. and i cant go to the menu about my instant messaging and voip accounts [00:40] guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean? [00:40] masen, nop. It's on my living room. I can try it when I get home [00:40] Habstinat: maybe the cd is another guess i had [00:41] #ubuntu really needs tiered support channels... [00:41] my printer was detected as soon as i plugged it in, however it wont let me print [00:41] I'm having a generalized problem and I'm wondering if anybody has solved it or has input on it. When I transmit recorded audio over my network, it cuts out regularly. Like 30% of the audio stream just drops. [00:42] have no idea [00:42] Freeheart: wired or wireless? [00:42] First, I thought it was an issue with Skype, but found that Google Voice has the same issues, and then Ekiga using an entirely open protocol. [00:42] guys iconfigured a new router as a switch, I have no problems to connect to it but the network icon is showing a red ! sign what does it mean? -- In addition to that I had a few problems to resolve some sites, like this irc channel, took me some secs to resolve [00:42] masen: Wireless. [00:42] Habstinat: You can also just run "md5sum /dev/cdrom". [00:42] Xborder: I think you're a bit confused on the PS3 media server bit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer [00:43] Freeheart: it could just be a straight up bandwidth issue...do you share the connection with others? [00:43] No, I am on a reasonable connection by myself.

[00:44] anyone got any ideas on this one? i have an fstab entry made for my external ntfs hdd using UUID. it mounts it where i want it to(/media/Data) if the drive is there at startup, but if i connect it afterwards it mounts it to /media/Data_ [00:44] i keep clickin peoples names by accident :/ [00:44] I have a dynamic IP, but I want to be able to consistently get access to my ubuntu box via SSH... what's the best solution to use? [00:44] rootchord: do you have a user option in fstab for that entry? [00:45] Xborder: can you get to system->administration->system monitor? [00:45] mdpatrick, static ip, next question [00:45] Gnea yeah and i have a problem lauching some applications and not others. the ones i cant lauch are empathy and ps3 media server. with that said, i cant enter the instant messaging and voip accounts menu (under System->Perferences->) either [00:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/533297/ [00:45] Gnea yeah it's open [00:46] mdpatrick write a shell script to send you the output of ifconfig [00:46] masen: Skype-to-skype works without the audio clipping. And I get great quality and latency under Windows using the same router and internet connection. [00:46] mdpatrick: dyndns is free (as in beer). [00:46] mdpatrick: look into dydns [00:46] Freeheart: could be an audio codec issue [00:46] guys on a laptop i don't know what cpu it has, if a usb ubuntu x64bit installer fails to load and says "Boot error" ... it must mean its a 32bit system? [00:46] right? [00:46] Freeheart: are you using 10.10? [00:46] Freeheart, I have the same problem with shoutcast [00:46] i want to make my laptop connected to ethernet to be a hotspot...so i connect my ipod touch to it [00:46] masen: It's the damndest thing. If it weren't so consistant across services (Skype, Google Voice and Ekiga) I would blame the networks. But something is affecting ALL of these. [00:46] im using ubuntu 10.04 [00:46] Freeheart, also, opengl stutters for me. I suspect it's a serious kernel issue [00:46] Xborder: yes, I know, you've told me this many times now :) [00:47] Gnea sorry lol [00:47] Xborder: I'm trying to help you figure out why that is and try to fix it [00:47] has anyone managed to get sound working on hp g62's? [00:47] masen: Yes, 10.10. I've tested both i386 and AMD64 and both do the same. [00:47] Xborder: np :) [00:47] tucemiux_mob: duh dum cha [00:47] Freeheart: stumped me [00:47] Jordan_U, andrew_m: thanks! [00:47] mdpatrick, :-) [00:47] Freeheart, http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8054/adf.mp4 <- this is what opengl does on mine. Do you have any issues running 3d apps, like glgears? [00:48] Gnea yeah and i apreciate it but since i'm not english native i'm affraid of nothing going through lol [00:48] Robinux: No, you would get a different error (complaining specifically about needing 64 bit) if that were the (only) problem. [00:48] I'm about to upgrade my alsa using this upgrade script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 but how do I make sure it's the right thing in my case? [00:48] mdpatrick: You're welcome. [00:48] shomon: you shouldnt need a script [00:48] acal, I might be mistaken but this message is saying you installed grub in the wrong partition, I would try reinstalling grub: Unknown BootLoader on sda2 [00:48] shomon: newer versions of alsa are packaged now [00:48] snakesqzns: Generally, I have no problems aside from the audio issues I'm describing. [00:48] how do I diagnose sound not working in lucid? [00:48] Xborder: okay, with the system monitor open, you can see either graphically what the system load is doing (if it's high, that's not a good sign, and if it's got little ridges, it's not doing too much) or if it's showing a list of processes, you can see which ones are using the most CPU usage [00:48] shomon: linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic assuming youre on 10.10 [00:48] how do I reinstall grub? [00:48] any thoughts or comments on my printing problem [00:49] yup, vanilla install [00:49] Freeheart, so you can confirm no issues with opengl apps, or you haven't run any opengl apps? [00:49] shomon: well try installing that package. it has newer drivers [00:49] snakesqzns: Using both the ATI Proprietary drive and the RadeonHD, I have seen no noticable stuttering. [00:50] Freduardo_, do you have an i7? [00:50] Not where I couldn't pinpoint the specific cause (i.e. I was transfering a hundred gigs of files at the time) [00:50] er, Freeheart [00:50] i have problem in setting staticly interface in /etc/network/interfaces: auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 10.9.0.74 netmask 255.0.0.0 network 10.9.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255 gateway 10.9.0.74 Doing: ifconfig usb0 10.9.0.74 broadcast 10.255.255.255 netmask 255.0.0.0 up and route add default gw 10.9.0.75 work just fine XD what is wrong with my /etc/network/interfaces config ? [00:50] bamboochas, use pastebin [00:50] acal: From that ouptuput it looks like grub is not the problem. Have you been able to boot any OS from that hard drive, attatched to this machine? Your BIOS may not be seeing the drive at all. [00:50] il y a quelqun ?

[00:52] ahh damn does the universal usb installer from pendrivelinux really offer [00:52] md5 checking [00:52] pardon ? [00:52] Gnea yeah as in task manager in windows. in cpu usage no problems there. it doesn't go above 8% on a process called mono. all the others processes are using 0% and sometimes the monitor itself uses 4% of the cpu. the ram being used is about 10% maximum [00:52] if not then how do i do md5 checking [00:53] #chat-belgique [00:53] I want to run a command on every startup, but also after resuming from being suspended.

[00:53] Habstinat: That suggests that there is a problem with the CD or drive. [00:54] Jordan_U: Do you think burning on another computer would most likely fix it? [00:54] could someone look at this and tell me if they see a problem, http://paste.ubuntu.com/533306/ [00:55] the problem is that my printer was detected upon ubunutu 10.04 install, but i cant print to it, i think it could be a cups problem, i'm new to ubuntu, so any help is appreciated [00:55] Jordan_U, andrew_m: How does it keep my IP up to date?? I registered [00:56] #hainaut [00:56] Habstinat: It depends on where the issue is. If it's a problem with the disk itself, no (unless you also use another disk). If it's a problem with the burning functionality of the CDROM drive, yes. If it's a problem with the *reading* functionality of the CDROM drive, no. [00:56] # hainaut [00:56] greg1785: /join #hainaut [00:56] Jordan_U, andrew_m: Nevermind! I found the update clients. Thanks again.

[00:56] lol mici ;-) [00:57] bios is showing my drive [00:57] Jordan_U: Any way I could narrow these options down, like performing tests to determine which of the three the problem lies with? [00:58] So my drive is showing in bios.. it's a gigabyte board, IDE 100GB Drive, Radeon GPU, Amd Phenom II X4 920 [00:58] why is ubuntu's kernel using 250 hz instead of 1000 hz?? [00:59] yagoo, thanks for the tip\ [00:59] Habstinat: If you take a new CD, burn it on another computer, and try to boot it on anther computer, then you will no that the disk is good and burned correctly. Then just try booting it on the problematic machine and if it fails to boot it's a hardware problem on the problematic machine. [00:59] how can I find a PID via terminal? [00:59] yagoo, i went there, but i don't see the obvious [00:59] ie, ssh compatible [01:00] Lyman, what does that mean? [01:00] I also scanned the drive with GSmart Control [01:00] yagoo, i can't seem to print, the printer was detected upon fresh install of 10.04 [01:01] how do you find out how fast my processors are ? [01:01] acal: This will only help if you have a broken BIOS, but try running "sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on" [01:01] quizme, cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:01] yagoo thank you sir [01:02] quizme, measuring processor performance is comparative though.. wikipedia has a geekness on "bogomips" [01:02] Ran that and it said: "Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab. " [01:02] yagoo in otherwords, it's not just the mhz that matters ? [01:02] According to Gnome, my status being unable to change could be a Ubuntu issue [01:03] in my empathy client [01:03] They are telling me that Ubuntu uses it's own, Notification Applet [01:03] quizme, you can only know how fast a machine performs something if it is benchmarked against another machine performing the same task [01:03] yagoo right... [01:03] does any one know what is the easiest way to share an internet connection? [01:04] quizme, mhz doesn't necessarily it will run the same task faster.. [01:04] yagoo especially with multi-core [01:04] Gnea my empathy works now. unninstall and reinstall and it works now [01:05] quizme, scientists make benchmark tools online... but here's if you're interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomips [01:06] how do I find a process id? [01:06] does any one know what is the easiest way to share an Internet connection? [01:06] hi [01:06] Gnea thanks man [01:06] acal: Ok, try rebooting. [01:07] what should I do to get the SOURCE CODE of a command that is installed in UBUNTU?

Is there a command to reset it to its default settings? [01:13] shcherbak: the fan is extra [01:13] I know this is blasphemy here, but let's say I want to switch back to windows...can I do it? Ubuntu occupies my entire HDD right now. [01:13] blackplague1347: sure.. wipe the drive clean and spend 3 hours installing windows [01:13] blackplague1347, you just install windows again [01:13] blackplague1347: can't do it. you are one of us now. there is no going back. [01:13] izinucs, it only takes about 15 minutes now [01:14] blackplague1347: just format the hd and install it [01:14] I made some adjustments to the appearance of grub, and now it looks awful. Is there a way to reset it to its default settings? [01:14] blackplague1347: have you ever seen the movie "invasion of the body snatchers" ? It's like that. [01:14] for life ;) [01:14] lol izinucs you make it sound so appealing [01:15] Do I need to re-format the HDD? I deleted all partitions from it with GParted once, but got an error upon attempting to install. [01:15] give me Unity3D on Ubuntu, or give me death. [01:16] DrManhattan: on win 7? I haven't experienced that.. just reinstalling xp sp1 .. *way* to many updates [01:16] quizme instal the cube its beter dan 3 d [01:17] Can I setup a process with upstart to run after the system resumes from being suspended? [01:17] yea well, xp is almost a decade old. I bet if you tried to install a decade old distro of linux it would be a little hectic getting it up to date too [01:17] How do I find backgroud processes? [01:17] Blackguard, where's the HD connected to? [01:17] blackplague1347: yea.. you can delete all the partitions then create one partition for the whole drive.. format it fat32 if you'd like [01:17] If I could just get The Sims 3 to work, I'd stick with it. Problem is, it doesn't. I've followed every step and solution I've seen online to get it to work with Wine, but it's just not happening, apparently. [01:17] I finally figured out my issue, apparently the options are grayed (for those who did not know or wasn't informed) ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-me/+bug/452067 -- That you needed empathy to be running for those options to become available [01:18] blackplague1347: not familure with The Sims 3 but are some of the sims now opensource? [01:18] Not that I'm aware of. Either way, I went out and bought it so I'd prefer to be able to use it >_> [01:18] DrManhattan: yep.. probably worse.. so 7 installs quick? [01:18] hey guys, how do i reset a hostname after changing it, without rebooting [01:18] on an older ubuntu [01:19] tbrock: /etc/hostname [01:20] right but after its been edited [01:20] i did that and updated hosts [01:20] type hostname and [01:20] blackplague1347: check this out.. you'll see it running.. and there is a link for instructions http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyberfux/3633126842/ [01:20] it shows me the old hostname [01:20] when i do that [01:21] hm? === vito_ is now known as Guest20081 [01:22] M'kay izinucs. I'll have a look. [01:22] From what I understand, if I fully backup my home folder, re-installing ubuntu entirely is going to change very little except fix anything broken right? [01:22] tbrock: you have to restart networking I think ... [01:22] ok [01:23] i was googling and it said something about /etc/init.d/hostname.sh [01:23] but i don't have that [01:23] izinucs: The playonlinux thing is what I did. Maybe it's because I'm not running "ubuntu" but something based off of and supposedly compatible with ubuntu? [01:23] blackplague1347: could be [01:24] I have a problem with my umts modem.

I tried to run the Sims 3 in a virtual box. It was fine, except VB doesn't do accelerated graphics. So that's out. I tried it with Wine a couple different times, once with PlayOnLinux. No success. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I'm up to 3 entries of that stupid code. [01:27] ok back [01:27] are u still there? [01:28] blackplague1347: if your counting the vbox install don't. was linux running on the vbox install? === murat is now known as QUICKLYWEB [01:29] izinucs: I was running Fedora 14 as my main OS and installed XP into VirtualBox. I was unware that it didn't support accelerated graphics and would be a waste of time, unfortunately. [01:30] blackplague1347: was the vbox install from the repos? if you get it direct from vbox then you have 2d & 3d accellerated graphics.. a little experimental but it's there. [01:31] Ahhh, let me check. Fedora is stingy with it's repos when it comes to certain things. [01:31] how would i go about finding the first character in a line from the command line? [01:31] blackplague1347: even on ubuntu the repo install is the ose version.. no usb support etc.. [01:32] I have 2 txt files and do a diff but it says they are very different , but I can see they are not as different, is there any other command to compare them in a more smart way?

[01:40] well, I need that the scrip runs before loggin in [01:40] can anyone help me put my webcam to work in skype? i'm using an old phillips webcam with v4l2 input and x11/xv output [01:40] leoxagy13: man cron [01:41] izinucs: Okay, I just confirmed that my Ubuntu spinoff has the open source edition of VirtualBox. The non-OSE version should run my game? [01:41] fingers crossed then izinucs [01:41] leoxagy13: on startup? [01:41] maco i get an error with --field-separator [01:41] leoxagy13: because cron isn't for startup tasks [01:41] put your Script into /etc/init.d [01:41] the at daemon is for that [01:41] blackplague1347: no idea.. just a thought.. you can uninstall the ose version and install the other.. the vm will still be there. [01:41] my webcam works, but is not being detected in skype at all [01:41] wasutton3-Kira: what error? [01:42] maco : awk: not an option: --field-seperator= [01:42] yes, on startup [01:42] hi sorry but this question got answered but scrolled out of my xchat buffer :( [01:42] [01:42] The_Tick: yes, on startup [01:42] wasutton3-Kira: separator has 1 e and 2 a's [01:42] how do I get audio running on an hp g62? [01:42] blackplague1347: make sure you go to settings and tic the boxes for 2d & 3d [01:42] leoxagy13: look for information about the at daemon [01:42] maco: i copied that in and got the same error [01:42] running ubuntu 10.10 [01:43] "put your Script into /etc/init.d" I have the script there already [01:43] it's not working [01:43] the script recieves start as a parametter [01:43] wasutton3-Kira: this time with separator spelled right it still errored? [01:44] maco: yes [01:44] it works great manualy, but not on startup [01:44] wasutton3-Kira: if you "man awk" it says it's gawk, right? [01:44] maco: no it says mawk [01:44] wasutton3-Kira: ahhh [01:45] wasutton3-Kira: try -F "" instead of --field-separator="" [01:45] smt: it's on startup already [01:45] is root owner of your script? [01:45] trying to recordmydesktop with nvidia 260 drivers i see pixels in the video... tried to find an answer googlin but didnt fin one, any idea how to solve this? [01:46] maco: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F="" '{ print $1 }'" this command spits out the entire last line, instead of the first letter of the last line, which is what i want [01:46] wasutton3-Kira: ok lemme play [01:47] maco: ok thank you [01:47] wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F " " '{ print $1 }'" [01:48] shcherbak: thatd split on spaces [01:48] wasutton3-Kira: "tail --lines=1 test | awk -F "" '{ print $1 }'" [01:48] wasutton3-Kira: i wonder if this is a bug. the mawk manpage says if its an empty string itll spit on individual characters [01:48] izinucs: Guess that's what I'll do. Except I may use something than an Ubuntu spinoff, that way I have some idea of which version to get. I'm not sure if this is based off of 10.10 or 10.04, each of which has a specific VirtualBox version. [01:48] maco: Hmmm [01:48] shcherbak, wasutton3-Kira: If FS = "", then mawk breaks the record into individual characters, and, similarly, split(s,A,"") places the individual characters of s into A. [01:48] hmmmm, any tips for solving wireless not connecting? [01:48] hmmm [01:49] wasutton3-Kira: try installing gawk and using the gawk command instead of the awk command? (right now awk is just pointing to /etc/alternatives/awk which points to mawk) [01:49] ok [01:50] maco: nope same result with "tail --lines=1 test | gawk -F="" '{ print $1 }'" [01:50] blackplague1347: what are you running? [01:50] wasutton3-Kira: what do you want to do? and what how is formated file? [01:50] wasutton3-Kira: wait remove that = [01:51] UberStudent 1.0 Cicero. [01:51] wasutton3-Kira: its trying to use = as the field separator because you put -F= [01:51] maco : yep that did it [01:51] izinucs, I've been distro-hopping for a couple months, so I have plenty of others I could use instead, however. [01:51] its going to be a file checkout for an attempt at a multiparallel pi calculation [01:52] blackplague1347: wow.. never heard of that one.. how'd you end up on that.. and why avoid a standard ubuntu install? [01:52] How much space does a typical Ubuntu server installation take? [01:52] izinucs, the only thing is that I need a java browser plugin in order to access my school's internet. [01:53] ridin and Jordan_U: Was able to boot a different CD I burned on my Mac on a different computer, so the CD isn't the issue. Now comes the moment of truth I suppose... [01:53] blackplague1347: that's available.. try ubuntu in a vm and see if it works after installing sun-java6-jre [01:53] mcnellis: there are 4GB in use on my server [01:53] izinucs: Yeah it's fairly new. I look at DistroWatch pretty often, so every now and then something interesting like that comes up. The main reason for avoiding standard Ubuntu was because last time I tried to install it, it would neither detect wireless connections, nor run java out of the box. [01:54] izinucs: Well, Java shouldn't be much of an issue at this point because I downloaded the .deb and RPM from the java website onto my external hard drive. It's there if I need to install it. [01:54] blackplague1347: right.. wireless is one issue.. java another.. java you have to install but it is in the repos [01:55] maco: that's not a bare install though, is it? [01:55] mcnellis: 300mb [01:55] izinucs: Yeah. I can install it from the terminal with my external hard drive if need be, then get the latest version from the repos. [01:56] shcherbak: Sounds more likely... you sure it's that low though? I guess b/c it's server? [01:56] mcnellis: and could be less (perl) [01:57] wheres a good place to get help with iptables? [01:57] mcnellis: there is alternate iso so it is easy to start [01:57] !alternate [01:57] 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 [01:57] s093294: #netfilter [01:58] thanks for your help shcherbak [01:59] guys I have a red exclamation sign in my network icon after configuring an additional router as switch [01:59] is unison the way to go for two-way file syncronization? i've played around with that and rsync a bit but wasn't sure what people who know what they're doing use (or find easiest for someone new to linux) thanks... === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [02:00] bojangles: you can look at dirsync pro (on sf.net) it's nice and easy for new people too [02:01] bojangles: i keep my desktop and laptop in sync with unison, yes [02:01] tecnico: thanks i'll check it out, is that gui-based?

[02:03] jrib: okay, this is dumb, but is it a pain if you don't have a static ip address? (do you have to change the ssh command?) [02:04] bojangles: yeah, that's probably a pain. You should use something like dyndns (that's what I do) [02:04] bojangles: with dynamic internet Ip you can use dyndns [02:04] plainas: you're given the option at install [02:04] Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Evo N1015v and now and then it goes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock light [02:04] does Linux support blu ray players? [02:04] jrib: okay, and that redirects a host name to the new IP or something? [02:04] just tell me no one knows how to remove the exclamation mark and I'll go away [02:05] isn't there a smaller iso? [02:05] bojangles: you can get something like bojangles.dyndns.org and then just run ddclient (it's in the repositories) on your computer. That will keep bojangles.dyndns.org always pointing to your computer [02:05] plainas: there is... [02:05] !minimal | plainas [02:05] plainas: 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).

I currently have it set up for a number of server (and it works) but this server keeps disconnecting me. The logs show it starts my session and then closes my session. No errors. The client says "connection reset by peer" Any suggestions? [02:08] SSH for the server using public key works perfectly. It's just sshfs that's acting bonkers [02:09] ubuntu installed on one of my laptops here seems to sync the time to the wrong zone via the Internet ... how do I change it to where I am? [02:10] Just move your laptop into the correct timezone ;-) [02:10] run cat /etc/timezone [02:11] what's your time zone? [02:11] Sydney [02:11] earthmeLon: just a very long shot.. make sure that your non-interactive shell login is not outputing anything to stdout. That'll make stuff like scp and rsync fail too. Most likely something echoed from your .bashrc or .tcshrc or .cshrc [02:11] and it's connecting to Adelaide which is 30min different [02:12] ty Tecnico i will test [02:12] Hi all [02:12] how to install the meego interface on my desktop, its maverick [02:12] hi all [02:15] earthmeLon: type --> ssh user@server '/bin/true' <--- if you get anything [02:15] I know that the user has /bin/bash on the remote server [02:15] earthmeLon: you shouldn't get any output [02:15] oic [02:15] hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble with my ipod touch.

For some reason my laptop (10.04) keeps locking up once every day or two. I can't change tty levels, restart X, nothing. There's no mouse or keyboard input working, and the only option is to hard reboot. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I've had this setup since 10.04 came out, but this just started about a month ago. [02:21] castbound does that actually exit the GUI completely or is it still in memory?

How do i restore it to org state? [02:25] Anyone know if it is possable to restrict screen resolution when loading cd installer [02:25] earthmeLon: but I thought you said that ssh'ing into the machine worked fine.

Just about to quote myself ;) [02:33] I'll just burn a disk :P [02:33] anyone have any suggestions for a USB that was not removed correctly from a Winblows XP laptop and now will not mount but is listed in lsusb.

How do i restore it to org state? [02:34] izinucs: i'm not sure what that is to be honest, i just want to be able to connect to my home computer from school [02:34] B}Ronald_Reagan, also note what you have on the boot media. I once tryed to boot my Mac to an AMD64 Disk that would only Kernel panic. (forgot it was AMD_64bit) [02:35] no tail just says DIRECT ACCESS or [sdf] attached as SCSI device [02:35] bojangles: ah.. that's not really dns.. that's ssh typically. You'll need port forwarding on the router to pass the ssh tunnel to the computer in your lan at home. [02:35] just use dmz host or dns-server [02:35] izinucs: don't i need dns if it's a dynamic ip address though? (in order to use ssh) [02:35] yeah, you need static ip [02:36] libglib2.0-0 (=2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed, what does this mean? [02:36] not really static ip, but listed as static in router settings [02:36] bojangles: or dynamic DNS. [02:37] so if i get a dyndns account and set up the router i should be okay? or is port-forwarding an additional step? [02:37] how do I find the rpm of a disk from the os ? [02:37] bojangles: you can use dyndns.com to set that situation up. in your router there will normally be a place to put the credentials for dyndns.com.. dyndns gives you a web address like izinucs-isa.geek.com which will pass to your routers public ip address .. from there port fowarding handles the rest. [02:37] without taking the disk out of the laptop === nova|away is now known as nova [02:38] mcurran: Assuming your flashdrive in question is still intact, maybe you can use testdisk to seek out it's partitions and get to it's data. [02:38] axisys: you can't. [02:38] izinucs: okay, is port forwarding tied into the router's dns stuff or is that just a separate setting? [02:39] axisys: Isn't it fairly safe to assume it probably running among the common RPMs such as 5400? (or is it 4200?) [02:39] xjiroo: hmm.. [02:39] bojangles: port forwarding is typically handled in the "gaming" section of routers.. but yes. It's two different settings in the router. [02:39] Diamondcite: is it actually on my x4150 .. it could 10K or 15K rpm [02:39] bojangles: gotta run.. like your nick.. Sammy all the way !! :) [02:39] not listed in testdisk [02:40] axisys: Drives that spin that fast have quite a fast seek time usually...

[02:51] * gksmithlcw is running libvirt [02:51] ok.... here it goes: I have an old laptop, compaq 1200.... it has I think a celeron..... it has Win2000 (originally came with ME) and now I want to replace it with Ubuntu... the question is, should I use the desktop edition or is it lighter to use the Netbook edition? [02:52] Infra`, I mean, java -jar file.jar [02:52] The netbook edition is lighter but the desktop edition should be fine. [02:52] could you give me the codes? [02:52] command lines* [02:52] Kesh, do you know how much ram it has? [02:52] try "sudo apt-get install hal" [02:52] So I updated to Maverick for some reason, it gripes about my CPU being insecure, then drops into tty1 [02:52] and see what happens. [02:52] does the Netbook edition need to be on a real Netbook> [02:53] dunno, I can check quickly [02:53] Anyone have a great way to fix this, or am I going to have to grope it until it finishes and works [02:53] ubuntu4shane, Yeah that was the command I thought, it gives me this error. "Unable to access jarfile Mars.jar" [02:53] Errors were encountered while processing: hal winbind [02:53] when trying to instal hal [02:53] joshdreamland, you've been reading too many train trips in japan about the groping [02:53] do you have to update your locate command database or does it do it automatically? [02:53] Kesh, more than likely the desktop edition of will be fine, if you need something lighter there is Xubuntu [02:53] joshdreamland: the message about the CPU is probably not related to your other problem [02:53] yagoo: Actually, you might have a point there [02:54] my [02:54] So will there soon be Gubuntu? [02:54] Guest5192: (Too many guest nicks, pick something else with /nick newnamehere), Maybe hal's .deb file needs to be redownloaded =/ [02:54] Infra`, try this: chmod +x Mars.jar then try to run it again [02:54] ok, I will try the Desktop edition, actually thats the one I have downloaded and burnt to a cd [02:54] ok [02:54] thanks ! [02:54] i moved a file "lead" from ~/Desktop to ~/Documents and when i type locate lead it still shows in ~/Desktop is this accurate? [02:54] thanks [02:54] !lubuntu [02:54] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [02:54] i moved afile [02:54] !xubuntu === Guest5192 is now known as jcarlin [02:54] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[02:54] Well, I have an NVidia card that hasn't gotten along with any release ir distro to date. No nv module is loaded, proprietary or otherwise. [02:55] the hal [02:55] !gubuntu [02:55] !question | rabl [02:55] LOL [02:55] rabl: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:55] jcarlin: Looking.. [02:55] kk [02:55] no [02:55] rabl [02:55] !hello | dewqazxc [02:55] hello [02:55] ubuntu4shane, thanks i have it working now. i'm a linux noobie :) [02:55] hi [02:56] ak [02:56] b41 [02:56] joshdreamland: Is the message you're seeing this?: "Your CPU appears to be lacking expected security protections." [02:56] Infra`, all we did there was made the file executable, has to do with permissions [02:56] yeats: Yep. [02:56] I take it no one's got anything on my KVM problem? [02:56] yearI assume this NX nonsense wasn't present in previous releases? [02:56] Another question: is it difficult to configure a wi-fi card? I have an old one, only has WEP (under win2000). I just dont want to spend 100 hours reading forums to make it work in Ubuntu. [02:57] joshdreamland: then that's a separate issue from your video issues - that message began in lucid as far as I know [02:57] Kesh, my experiences are some work well (many) I haven't ran into bad ones, but I know there are some out there [02:58] Kesh, perhaps if you know the brand or chipset, google it and see if linux users have problems with it [02:58] ok, fair enough... the few forum posts that I have seen look intimidating.... [02:58] yeats: I haven't seen it before. But yeah, I'll ignore it. So why's it dropping me into tty1 if all it's telling me is that message? [02:58] Kesh, understood, can be very intimidating when jumping in at first. [02:58] anyone know if ubunut cd support vgacon install and where i can find some docs [02:58] yes, already found some posts with people using exactly the same card... so I am not alone, thanks anyway [02:59] this is a fantastic channel btw [02:59] joshdreamland: don't know about that - I just knew that the CPU message was not related :-) [03:00] joshdreamland: hopefully that saves you from chasing a red herring [03:00] haha [03:00] So I'm screwed, essentially. [03:00] Sorry, my Xchat locked up... [03:00] how to change QT4 font & decorations? === grant__ is now known as gksmithlcw [03:00] joshdreamland: probably not - I'm just saying *I* don't know - you might provide more details about it? [03:00] jcarlin aka Guest5192 went poof? [03:01] Lint01: install qt4-qtconfig [03:01] oh...oh....one final and important question: I tried running Ubuntu on that laptop, from the CD.. It works but there is a red message that says something like "Base address not set....update your Bios or force something...."... what would that be in general terms? [03:01] I don't know what else to say. Lucid worked fine, I updated via the Update Manager, now Maverick is broken [03:01] Lucid is the only distro that could recover from blacklist.conf not listing agpgart and intel-agp (neither of which are loaded) [03:02] joshdreamland: there are regressions with nVidia cards - I have one, which is why I'm skipping Maverick [03:02] Kesh, sounds like your BIOS is outdated and needs updated, oooor, the system time is not set right? I'm not sure [03:02] Kesh, i'd ignorethis [03:02] it was the time then.... I remember the laptop had wrong time.... [03:02] dang, they should really put that in bold print [03:02] joshdreamland, upgrades are tough, I upgraded, then I ended up wiping and doing a clean install. === james_ is now known as jcarlin [03:02] is that the cause? (the wrong time is because it was in a box for like a year) [03:03] I'd rather not do that. Think I should wait for someone to fix the NVidia issues? [03:03] Diamoncite: anything? [03:03] does anyone know of any music programs that have support for iphone 4.1 os? [03:03] Kesh, ahh, probably, especially if you connected to the web, it may have compared and realized it isn't 1960 :) [03:04] !nick | kesh [03:04] kesh: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. [03:04] oops [03:04] joshdreamland: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/616023 [03:04] Kesh, sorry, wrong command to the bot, when talking with someone use their nick as it makes it easier to follow [03:04] i'm looking for ideas. i'm using vmware and would like to log network traffic from a windows vm, any ideas? [03:04] I will proceed with full disk installation :-) There is nothing to lose...this is a spare old computer [03:04] All right. Thanks anyway. [03:05] <_jesse_> ubuntu4shane: it's !who I believe [03:05] No where to go but forward [03:05] hey guys i have a question about flash problems in firefox (ubuntu), where should I ask that? [03:05] _jesse_, thanks! [03:05] well...I couldnt connect to the network, because of the old wifi card (the router in our house uses wpa)....so there was no comparison... [03:05] ish_: flash sucks in linux, ask adobe¿ [03:05] ish_, try here, and we will go from there. [03:06] ok i have alot of tabs open with flash, and when I close one tab the flash apps in other windows just dissapear [03:06] g_: you can match the guest's IP and set log rules on iptables [03:07] thanks and good night ! [03:07] does anyone know of any music programs that have ios 4.1 supported? [03:07] tecnico: ? [03:07] yeats: Thanks much. It says "fix released"... would that have already been in the update repository? I just installed today. [03:08] leealis: i think there's a music distro of debian or ubuntu, you could look out for that [03:08] i dont want to install a new distro when i already have this one all set up though [03:08] i know rhythmbox has support for ios 4 just not the 4.1 [03:09] g_: the guest traffic has to be routed through some interface on the host. Just set rules on iptables to match the IP of the guest and LOG ( google iptables and ULOG) [03:09] tecnico: ahh i see, thanks! === Orion_ is now known as Guest21925 [03:11] joshdreamland: possibly... you're able to update okay, right? [03:12] yeats: yep. I can access all tty layers, too. As if I booted then pressed ctrl-alt-f1 [03:12] what is the package name for the "power button" in the top right corner of a default ubuntu-desktop install? [03:12] omg ubuntu netbook is sooooo cute === aL3x is now known as alexlea [03:13] joshdreamland: hmm, so it's not freezing or anything, it just skips GDM and goes straight to TTY1?

[03:13] joshdreamland: have you checked the logs for any messages about video? [03:14] yeats: There are thousands. [03:14] I actually just checked or I'd have mentioned it earlier. [03:15] is there any kind of ubuntu software that gives you ultimate power management? [03:15] wooops, I just delted my /etc/at.deny file. can one you post yours please? [03:15] like how asus has their power2gear crap [03:15] Darn it; nvidia-glx-173 is already current [03:16] so i have this weird issue ive had since 9.10 i was wondering if there is a fix. its not a big deal just annoying. On my desktop my external drives show up and I have to tripple click them to open them double clicking doesnt work but all other icons i can just double click is there a reason or a setting i can change? [03:16] snakesqzns, mine is an empty file [03:16] aeMaeth, thanks.. 10.10?

[03:17] g++ [03:17] digitalfiz: perhaps the first two clicks mount the drive and the third opens it. [03:17] how do you make grep give line number, again? :P [03:17] snakesqzns, tecnico mine didn't have any usernames [03:18] Also, how the hell do I install tar.gz files? [03:18] snakesqzns, http://pastebin.com/RWhkF7Pu [03:18] izinucs, i thought that but its every time wether the drive is already mounted or not [03:18] joshdreamland: grep -c will count the lines returned, if that's what you mean [03:18] !language | sexy_ [03:18] sexy_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[03:20] sexy_, you can Extract a tar.gz with tar xzvf file.tar.gz [03:20] ubuntu4shane: I have nvidia-glx-173 installed [03:21] The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory [03:21] antihc3: z isn't needed [03:21] Where is pppd? [03:21] Ahh I see, thanks [03:21] i.e. 10.04 = mostly compat, 10.10 = mostly cosmetic, 11.04 = ... ? [03:21] joshdreamland, I got dumpped to tty after upgrading with nvidia [03:21] Also, Im unable to install .exe with Wine.. [03:21] ubuntu4shane: How'd you fix it? [03:21] joshdreamland, I don't remember now, but I messed around with installing xorg over and drivers or something [03:22] Hi all!!! [03:22] using the livecd, ubuntu4shane [03:22] joshdreamland, I don't remember, but I did get it, I had to uninstall and re-install stuff [03:22] s/$/? [03:22] blakkheim, ahh my bad fingers like the z for some reason when using tar [03:22] Hi have a serious problem [03:22] joshdreamland, no, all via command line, I just logged into the tty, and was hardwired, so that wasn't a problem [03:22] ubuntu4shane: Did you do it all form tty, or did you have to use a livecd? [03:22] ah [03:22] lovely [03:22] Did you uninstall and reinstall xorg? [03:23] Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista [03:23] joshdreamland, I'm pretty sure, also the nvidia drivers, I don't remember what all I did, but I 'hacked' away and got it [03:23] joshdreamland: google ppa nvidia-vapau. in that page is a link to the PPA with the latest driver.. add the ppa as a repo and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade .. and you should have it installed if you tried to install the driver in System>Admin>hardware drivers. [03:23] now my ubuntu freeze to often [03:23] why is this [03:23] izinucs: thanks, will try [03:24] polterguist [03:24] joshdreamland, I'm about 90% sure it was the xorg-nvidia stuff, I would search, but I"m on my dumb ATI laptop. :) [03:24] * antihc3 wonders if installing ubuntu on a HD then putting it into an appletv would work:D [03:24] Hi recently installed ubuntu with vista, have to much trouble so choose ubuntu over vista now my ubuntu freeze to often why is this????

[03:25] carlos: ubuntu with vista....do you mean "wubi" ¿¿ try a real install then [03:25] antihc3, give it a try and post results somewhere, I have had luck with installing, and then moving hd to different system. :) [03:25] I installed ubuntu on Win 7 and having no troubles. [03:25] Ahh also, how can I access my files on Win 7? As I understand it since its on the same partition I dont have to mount anyhting [03:25] ubuntu4shane, will do. I have had great luck with ubunut and motherboard changes :D [03:26] !usage Zorlin [03:26] antihc3, if it blows up, you didn't get that advice from me. :0 :) [03:27] Excuse me, restating my question: The question is: There's this thing called the PPPD path which is supposedly by default /usr/bin/pppd. However, upon inspection using nautilus, I see that there's no such directory. Where is this pppd thing? [03:27] I have vista then I discovered Ubuntu, but have to much trouble with the dual boot loader so I choose Ubuntu over vista, now 3 of every 5 times Im using the pc the desktop just freeze and I have to turn off the pc with the power botton and some times its freeze in the bios screen in blue [03:27] sexy_, you installed ubuntu with wubi? [03:27] yes [03:27] izinucs: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu-maverick-main? [03:27] carlos: did you use Wubi? [03:27] sexy_ i think it mounts the windows partition under /host [03:27] I think so [03:27] How do I access /host? [03:27] carlos that sounds like harddrive issues, or hardware issues, not so much software issues. [03:28] I can check the cd if u want to [03:28] joshdreamland: hang on.. I'll look.. that like doesn't go anywhere. [03:28] nvm, got it [03:28] carlos, if you don't like ubuntu, you can remove it, and use the space for windows. [03:28] carlos: does it freeze while on Windows or while on Ubuntu? [03:28] I'm off, night all. [03:28] I like to try that too, [03:29] but I removed vista from the pc [03:29] joshdreamland: here's the direct link https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [03:29] Vista is no longer in the PC [03:29] izinucs: Thanks much. I just pass that to deb? [03:29] carlos: what's your computer model? [03:29] Acer [03:29] Hmm, I cant access Documents and Settings from /host? [03:30] joshdreamland: there's instruction on how to add that as one of your repositories.. [03:30] AX17000 [03:30] carlos: yeah that sounds like a hardware problem [03:30] sexy_, Documents and Settings on Windows 7 is just a link to the Users folder if i remember correctly [03:30] any idea more specific [03:30] carlos: does it freeze spontaneously or are you always doing something when it happens? [03:30] Oh right, my bad [03:30] if you are trying to find files under your Win77 user profile see /host/Users/your_name [03:30] is there a way in the netbook interface to add my own applications (installed within homedir)?

[03:42] joshdreamland_: perhaps.. do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:42] k-o [03:42] carlos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface [03:42] well im in a commandlin interface [03:42] back when that's done [03:42] OK [03:42] *command line [03:42] d3vi1d06: run: startx [03:42] d3vi1d06: you want the ubuntu studio desktop? [03:42] carlos: hang on [03:42] carlos: I assume you're using Ubuntu 10.10 [03:43] yes [03:43] is ksensors gone in maverick? [03:44] Might the problem be that my music folder is hidden in windows? [03:44] carlos: on the terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [03:44] not work [03:44] sexy_: doesnt matter, linux will still see it [03:44] sexy_: the hiddenness is a windows construct only, linux ignores those [03:45] sorry im a complete n00b [03:45] d3vi1d06: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop [03:45] Yeah, but i thought that it might alter the file in a way that it gives errors when trying to import them in linux [03:45] d3vi1d06: ok then run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and read, what errors do you see towards the bottom [03:45] what is that [03:45] and there is a noticeable audio quality difference o.o [03:45] My 320 kbs sound worse then youtube videos [03:46] carlos: it's the boot menu config [03:46] how do I solve a "depends: * but is not going to be installed"? [03:46] @idle [03:46] is a file I shouldnt edit [03:46] @idle that seemed to work [03:46] carlos: Locate a line that looks something like this: boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=61e3f741-5cf0-4ffb-875f-de8ca62f914c ro acpi=copy_dsdt quiet splash [03:46] WXZ: which package are you trying to install? [03:46] carlos: you're only going to modify it a bit. And if it doesn't work, you can always revert it later. [03:47] mono-devel [03:47] wow this linux stuf is amazing [03:47] i love it [03:47] WXZ: can you paste the full output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [03:47] yeats: Depends: mono-2.0-devel but it is not going to be installed [03:47] that's the full output [03:47] so much better than windows [03:47] sexy_: try different settings in the app then, also dont have volume sliders at 100% [03:48] how can you figure out which temperature sensors are what? [03:48] WXZ: okay - so what happens when you try to install that? [03:48] another depends [03:48] !sensors | MikeChelen [03:48] MikeChelen: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [03:48] then when I try to install that, another depends [03:48] ActionParsnip: So what should I do...? [03:48] found it [03:48] yeats: libc6 (=2.11.1-0ubuntu7) but 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2 is to be installed [03:49] that's where I get stuck [03:49] ActionParsnip: thanks, have those installed already, difficult to interpret the results though [03:49] WXZ: ah... so where did you get this mono-devel? [03:49] it's in synaptic [03:49] carlos: okay, add the following at the of the line: "acpi=off" [03:49] I have main, universe, multiverse [03:49] well when i installed studio, i forgot to select a desktop to install [03:49] WXZ: 10.10? [03:49] carlos: without the "" [03:49] lucid [03:50] ok [03:50] at the very end [03:50] carlos: yep [03:50] WXZ: have you tried changing mirrors? [03:50] so when i booted, it booted to terminal [03:50] you mean for the main repository? [03:50] (the one that mono-devel is in) [03:51] thanks guys and gals. [03:51] WXZ: right - System -> Adminstration -> Software Sources [03:51] now save [03:51] yeats: ok [03:51] carlos: yes [03:51] carlos: reboot [03:51] carlos: BEFORE YOU DO IT though. Have your livecd at hand [03:51] talk to u in a bit [03:51] got it [03:51] carlos: also, here's the bad news [03:52] carlos: wait a min [03:52] ok [03:52] yeats: ? [03:52] So does anyone else here know an easyish way to install Ubuntu that doesn't involve flash drives or CDs? [03:52] carlos: good news, you'll fix the freezing issue [03:52] WXZ: Download From -> Other... - then Select Best Server [03:52] Habstinat, you can install right from Windows [03:52] but [03:53] like any other .exe setup [03:53] yeats; nice [03:53] !wubi | Habstinat [03:53] Habstinat: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [03:53] carlos: bad news, you'll probably lose some functionalities, like controlling the sound volume. Also, watch out whenever you press the power button. [03:53] carlos: just give it a try and if it works, let us know [03:54] should I back my files up [03:54] ahh rhymthbox is trying to import shit from somewhere on its own [03:54] carlos: well, it's always a good idea to have a back-up, you didn't do anything but turning off some functionalities. The laptop should still work. [03:55] sexy_: MikeChelen: I'm on a Wubi'd install right now, but I want to switch to a partition. [03:55] is a desktop [03:55] yeats: didn't help [03:55] carlos: well, that [03:55] WXZ: ok - worth a try [03:55] carlos: I need to leave for a minute. Be right back. [03:55] I dont have a back up of my files at this time [03:55] it also did the same thing when I tried to run the same deb from launchpad [03:56] should I do it anyway [03:56] said the same thing* [03:57] Habstinat, you're going to have to do an isntall off a boot. Whats the problem with CDs or flash drive? === michael is now known as Guest30374 [03:57] Has anyone used Flex in ubuntu? [03:58] Habstinat, there is actually another way. It allowed you to boot right into the setup on the next restart. Google. [03:58] flex is what [03:58] WXZ: that would be expected if it's exactly the same deb [03:58] Hi, Just installed a Qt application and now nautilus is using old x theme rather than GTK. Does anyone know how to resolve this? [03:58] sexy_: Extremely long story. Basically my CD reader is definitely broken and with a flash drive I can only get halfway in the alternate installer before I get a fatal error about having no kernel. [03:58] yeats: so what now? [03:58] WXZ: can you paste the output of 'apt-cache policy libc6' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [03:59] #fluxbox [03:59] whoops. :P === Guest30374 is now known as MichaelWheatland [03:59] darn, arrived just in time to see him leave [04:00] now rhymthbox wont open. gah...someone recommend me a music player please? [04:00] yeats: it's actually libc6-dev [04:00] not libc6 [04:00] WXZ: ah.. hold on [04:00] Hi all, I'm actually using sirc via tty2. Someone think they can help me get my nvidia card working with Maverick? [04:00] sexy_, foobar2000 under WINE [04:01] <[Bain]> join #rubyonrails [04:01] sexy, im running banshee, now [04:01] Im having trouble with Wine [04:01] Hello, I am having troubling installing my wlan usb in maverick 64bit. it is dell dwa 126 and not listed in ndiswrapper, (neither the 32bit driver nor the 64bit), while googling, I found http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATH_COMMON.html but not sure how to use the driver, any idea?

[04:02] yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533342/ that's apt-cache policy libc6-dev output [04:03] !anyone | konza [04:03] konza: 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? [04:04] carlos: how did it go? [04:04] why the hell are all of my new windows in fluxbox opening iconified? [04:04] WXZ: mine's different: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533343/ [04:05] WXZ: though I think that's because I have a couple of different repositories enabled. [04:05] yeats: I don't really know what that tells me though [04:05] yeats: what are your extra repos? [04:06] I don't even have a copy+paste in this tty2 shell ;_; [04:06] anyone know off hand any mechanism by which I can have two ubuntu boxes, and have a usb device plugged into one show up as a usb device on the other? [04:06] what kind of device, gambit? [04:07] sorak, USB 2.0 webcams. [04:07] sexy_: How? SBM won't work because it requires a CD. We went over USBs. My computer doesn't have a floppy drive. I don't want to use Wubi. Installing from Linux won't work because it isn't on a partition. Don't have a cable for VMware installation. That only leaves network installation... [04:07] carlos: you there? [04:07] I need to get 5 of them about 200 ft, and I'd like to do it without spending $600. [04:07] but if I could slap a PC at the remote end and forward the usb traffic over the network, that might be cheaper than buying two 4 port usb extenders. [04:08] maybe the best thing for me right now is sleep. Ciao guys, thanks for the help. [04:08] WXZ: lucid-security and lucid-updates - you can enable them in Software Sources (Updates Tab) - don't know if that would have anything to do with your issue though [04:08] yeats: it's worth a shot [04:09] yes [04:09] Im doing some homework [04:09] Gambit-: www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ [04:09] Cyrano_De, I don't think that does what you think it does. [04:09] Cyrano_De, I might be wrong about that, though. [04:10] I did not try it yet, Im not loosing any files right, because in case I have to reinstall Ill be screw [04:10] yeats: succelsior [04:10] WXZ: it worked? [04:10] yeats: yup [04:11] wow - okay [04:11] ;-) [04:11] no, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. [04:11] I think it included dependencies [04:11] that weren't in the main repo [04:12] Gambit-: Sorry you are correct the one I was looking for was http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ [04:12] WXZ: cool - well, I'm glad that worked for you [04:12] Cyrano_De, interesting! It looks a bit abandoned, but I wonder how well it's functional. [04:13] is there anyway to make file names not case sensitive? [04:14] jgautier: 'fraid not ;-) [04:14] jgautier: no [04:14] ok [04:14] whats the easiest way to convert all files in a directory to lower case [04:15] hi does anyone know how i can stop wget from tryingto connect to 1.0.0.0 insted of the ip address of whatever host its trying to connect to [04:15] hello i have a stupid qestion im using xfce4 and i cant seem to find a way to move my panels elements where i want, for example i cant find a way to move the "show desktop" button to the left, out of its default position. [04:16] Anyone know if it's possible to install into VirtualBox with just and .iso file? I'm getting low on cd's/dvds. [04:17] isnt that the normal way to do it [04:17] can anyone help me please? [04:17] blackplague1347: sure, vbox can mount ISOs in virtual cd drives. Make sure you MD5 test the ISO before use [04:18] llolcats, I always burn disc images to a cd or dvd and install it that way. [04:18] seems like a waste of cds [04:18] lol [04:18] ActionParsnip, is the virtual cd drive setup process a difficult one? I've never done it. [04:18] blackplague1347, yes, you can mount the iso in virtualbox... its faster that way too because hdd is faster than optical drive [04:18] llolcats, Basically. [04:18] you select the iso you want to boot from, it doesnt get any simpler.. [04:18] in linux you can mount a iso file to a dirctory with out any additial software [04:19] just with the dd and mount commands [04:19] you have to right click and unlock it [04:19] decodedthought, ? [04:19] entropy4: Okay. I'll try that out. Now, perhaps. [04:19] theres no unlock option anywhere [04:20] I need to find a way to stop wget from trying to connect to 1.0.0.0 [04:21] asdfasdfasdfasdf: you might try the #xubuntu channel [04:22] asdfasdfasdfasdf: or #xfce [04:22] yeats, xfce folks are sleeping, trying xubuntu now :D [04:23] hello?

[04:28] carlos: hi [04:29] hi [04:29] what was the file we edited, the pc froze and I didnt save it [04:29] joeyjones: there's no direct upgrade path from 8.10 to 10.04 - you'd have to upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 [04:29] is there a way to replace hex values in a file with other values from the command line? [04:29] can anyone help with alexandria book collection manager? [04:29] joeyjones: if I were you, I'd back up my data and do a fresh install [04:29] carlos: so it didn't work? :/ [04:30] yeats: i'd been avoiding upgrading but it no longer updates :( [04:30] cant tell, I did not save the file and I did not restart the pc my self [04:30] Hey guys, I've got a fairly straightforward question. I was wondering why Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen. === 18VABSUOZ is now known as Gnea [04:30] carlos: -_- [04:30] joeyjones: yeah - I saw that 8.10 got removed from the old-releases repos - no idea why [04:31] yeats: i wonder how bad progressive updating would be... [04:31] carlos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:31] acpi=off [04:31] yeats: oh, and the update manager n o longer offers to upgrade me... [04:31] *no [04:31] Hey, I can't use my trackpad's multitouch functions (like scrolling with two fingers) like I did on Windows, it's grayed out on the Mouse preferences, what can I do? [04:33] yay for random ubuntu restarts! [04:33] Hi ! I did exactly how it says in wiki to add splash to grub2 and it did not on 2 machines one being a fresh install [04:33] If I have a script that needs root, but I need to do some of it as the regular user... should I laucnh the script with gksudo... .and then do what?? to drop to my regular user? [04:34] I just noticed that there's an "amd64+mac" iso file, does this mean that it'll boot on EFI-based systems? [04:34] My X session has been restarting frequently since I switched up to 10.10. At first I thought it was just using chrome, but I'm getting it launching or accessing menus in kdenlive [04:34] My Xorg logs aren't very helpful. I need some other ideas for troubleshooting this. [04:35] magn3ts: can you do the non-root stuff first, or run the one root command within the script via sudo. [04:37] Hello, anyone tried to install a driver from http://cateee.net? I found a driver for my wlan usb (dell dwa 126) and plan on installing it on ubuntu 10.10, but not sure how to use a C driver [04:38] Why does my Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen? [04:42] .... [04:43] is anyone using a kernel with the Mike Galbraith "wonder performance" patch ? is there a ppa ? [04:43] sandGorgon, is that the one that was posted on phoronix today? [04:43] magn3ts, yup [04:43] sandGorgon, I'd love to know the same thing :) [04:44] aa [04:44] ping me [04:45] http://pastie.org/1304696 can someone look maybe I edited it wrong ?

[04:46] carlos: undo what you did then [04:46] carlos: I'm sorry to say I can't think of anything else :( [04:47] what was the file again so I can see if the change was done [04:47] carlos: sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:47] I didnt save the file so its no your fault [04:47] carlos: you didn't save it? [04:47] carlos: so no change was applied? [04:48] what command do I use to find out what DRIVERS I already have installed and/or need for otherwise non-functioning devices? [04:48] carlos: well, anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't be of further help [04:48] carlos: I have to go now [04:48] Bye alls! [04:48] wasutton3-Kira: the "hexedit" command is one way. [04:48] lsmod [04:48] pigiron: isnt that a gui? [04:49] misteralexander: use lsmod to see what modules are loaded [04:49] nevermind thought it was something else [04:49] llolcats: ah ha. And I'd do "lsmod | grep "DEVICE" for the device I'm trying to troubleshoot, like "Keyboard" or "Touchpad" . . . yes? [04:49] mmm [04:50] well its not that clear [04:50] coz the usally have wierd name [04:50] like usb_hid or somthing [04:50] i think there is a list of the module.o files in lib [04:51] llolcats: how do I specifically troubleshoot a laptop keyboard and touchpad under 10.10 that are non-functioning? [04:51] whtch is a list of all thye avilible drivers [04:51] or rather kernal modules [04:52] well that problem is more likly todo with your xorg conf [04:52] cd /etc/; find | grep -i xorg [04:52] I was under the impression that 10.10 doesn't have a static xorg.conf anymore . . . it's all been moved out of reach of an "Average User". [04:52] really? [04:52] nfi [04:53] pigiron: is there a way for me to automate the replacement of values? [04:53] well that command i put should find it if its still in /etc/ somwhere [04:53] yeah, it's gone from 10.04 too. [04:53] wasutton3-Kira: you could use the "tr" command... but you gotta be careful. [04:53] I installed StartUp-Manager which says in the Ubuntu Software Center description it can "Change settings for the bootloader and splash screen". The Help button says it accepts .so format for usplash themes. [04:53] you CAN have one, and the system will default to it, but by system intsall default . . . it's gone. [04:54] It does not however explain what to do with the .so file... [04:54] When I open the program it just has display size and an option to turn on and off boot splash and show text during boot. [04:54] I do not see anything wrong in my /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme [04:55] misteralexander: you will probably need one that is slighly customised to your laptop [04:55] Anyone have experence with forwarding port 80 through ssh? [04:55] llolcats: okay . . . urgh . . . I was trying to avoid that. Thanks! [04:55] I tried opening the .so file with StartUp-Manager but it says could not find application... [04:55] misteralexander: i would reccomend searching google for one [04:56] anyone is experienced with ndiswrapper? when I use the xp driver it freezes the entire system (maverick) [04:56] i have found some really obscure ones [04:56] Yar gar gar gar [04:57] hey, does anybody know of a good channel where i can find help on lamp??? [04:57] Is there some quick and easy way to set up a run-once-on-boot script? [04:57] When I save screenshots to desktop, they dont show up o>O === cultMember is now known as aeMaeth [04:58] Well if no one knows what I'm talking about... does anyone at least know if there's an easy way to preview my boot and splash screens without having to keep restarting my computer? [04:58] And how can I get rid of the 32GB filesystem icon? [04:59] my audio hardware keeps getting dropped in ubuntu 10.10 on an asus k60i laptop. in 10.04 when audio failed it would leave the option to disable and reenable the sound hardware, whereas now it just completely forgets it was there in the first place [05:00] anybody else has troubles adding/changing splash images in grub2 ? [05:00] MrAnthrope, I never found a way :/ [05:00] whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc? [05:00] I'm having trouble changing my splash screen but I don't know what grub2 is. [05:00] MrAnthrope, do you know what grub is? [05:00] Nope. Just installed Linux. [05:01] Grub controlls multiable OS's [05:01] like if you have a dual boot machine... [05:01] is that what your looking for? [05:01] I have a bunch of files and none of them have worked so far. The only thing that has worked was the thing I downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center. [05:02] You want to change your splash screens? Like what you see at startup? (MrAnthrope) [05:02] MrAnthrope what are you trying to do? [05:02] even the ones from the package do not work for me on 2 boxes [05:02] both 64 bit [05:02] And it still didn't change that fugly low-res purple lens-flare crap when I go to log in. [05:02] Yeah what I see at start up. :) [05:02] That's called the splash screen right? [05:03] that's what i call it, haha. hang on [05:03] lol [05:03] console entries [05:03] I just want something simple and plain and not purple and fugly and low-res. [05:03] They really picked a horrible theme for LTS. [05:03] I almost stopped installing it because it was purple. [05:04] The first splash screen I tried was incredibly simple. Almost as simple as changing the background. [05:05] MrAnthrope install Ubuntu Tweaks [05:05] But these others aren't through that Software Center thing, they're jsut files. And they won't do anything. [05:05] Does not work for me [05:05] you can make the change from it [05:05] I pasted /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme [05:05] very easily [05:05] hey, does anybody know where i can find a chan for lamp??? [05:05] its funny when people let something like a splash screen embitter them. [05:05] What can I say I'm embittered :) [05:06] hey [05:06] Ubuntu Tweaks isn't coming up in my Software Center search, ferris_ . [05:06] Is there anyway to "refresh" the desktop? [05:07] sexy [05:07] Switch desktops? [05:07] No [05:07] My saved screenshots to the desktop arnt showing up [05:07] Like, switch to a second desktop then switch back. Won't that refresh it? === jeremy is now known as Guest11571 [05:07] I think there's a hotkey to switch desks but I don't know it. [05:07] http://pastie.org/1304721 [05:08] I've packaged up a new cd ripping program that uses libcdio backend and has support for sample offsets, ala Exact Audio Copy ; who wants to rip some CDs and help test it? [05:08] the theme is here [05:08] MrAnthrope... I will paste a link... or you could search http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk [05:08] lol I'll search the link, thanks. [05:08] join #dellstreak [05:09] MrAnthrope, I left the conversation for a minute so I don't know where you left off; search a thing called plymouth. That is what ubunutu uses to display the screen during boot. This is different, however, form the grub splash (which you should not see unless you dual boot) and different from the logon screen. Here is a reference link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [05:10] Mranthrope, nope that isn't working =/ [05:10] Ubuntu just pushed a plymouth update... [05:10] Maybe it will fix itself after a restart [05:10] Anyway to take off the 32GB filesystem icon though? [05:10] MrAnthrope... search for "10 things to do after installing ubuntu" there will be two links one for each 10.4 and 10.10... they are different but both have great suggestions for noobs [05:10] Ubuntu Linux isn't meant for stupid people. [05:10] is it possible to load a 32bit driver in 64bit OS? [05:11] Yeah the Plymouth thing I downloaded, also fugly. Though it worked! lol [05:11] heh [05:11] Some ugly blue blob thing and it says UB and then black screen and then back to the purple low res lens flare of doom [05:11] OF DOOOOM [05:11] haha [05:11] like the Windows BSOD [05:12] I was actually just looking at "10 things to do..." :) [05:12] Ebrahem: nope [05:12] Kubuntu is 'pretty' [05:13] I love things that are packaged in .deb [05:13] Why is everything not like this? [05:13] pigiron, if the 64bit driver freezes the pc, that means I should find an alternative driver, right? [05:13] How do I get something packaged in .deb included into Ubuntu? [05:13] yep... .deb is sweet [05:13] i got initramfs error while booting... [05:14] but so is "sudo apt-get install -f..." [05:14] how to solve this problem [05:14] I haven't had to open the terminal yet. I'm pretty impressed. [05:14] 10.04 is definitely the best version yet. [05:14] srini: get your system booted somehow, and then 'update-initramfs -k all -u' [05:14] Ebrahem: probably... *if* that's the problem. [05:15] So how can I get wine to work? [05:15] sexy_: If you really have to ask that, you shouldn't be using linux. [05:15] windowshasyou: ROFL [05:15] windowshasyou: tsk tsk [05:15] did you install wine with synaptic? [05:15] pigiron, what do you mean? [05:15] I think it highly depends on what you are trying to install with Wine. Especially with games they usually have a tutorial on the Wine website. [05:15] Ehh we all need to start somewhere buddy... [05:16] Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to an AP? [05:16] Yes I think I installed it with synaptic [05:16] Volkodav: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [05:16] sexy_: do you already have wine installed? [05:16] hi guys [05:16] Yes, let me give you the error it gives me [05:16] how do i install virtual machines [05:16] lucent: can i use live cd? [05:16] Ebrahem: I don't know what your symptom is... are you getting a kernel "oops" when you modprobe a device driver? [05:17] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304726 [05:17] sexy_: cd /usr/bin [05:17] sexy_: ls | grep wine [05:17] srini: sure, put your beer on it [05:17] whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc? [05:17] jisiko: use virtualbox or vmware [05:17] Volkodav: That is not your /boot/grub/grub.cfg . [05:17] WorkingOnWise: log off, select the different desktop, log on [05:17] sexy_: You see anything wine come up? [05:17] oh ma bad wrong window [05:17] jisiko: virtural box [05:18] I see Wine under Applications [05:18] okay [05:18] Why does my Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen? [05:18] lucent: how to solve this problem.. should i install initrd? [05:18] Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to a certain access point? [05:18] lsmAvatar: Ubuntu hates you, that's why. [05:18] Hello! [05:19] hahah [05:19] I have an issue that just came up recently. [05:19] srini: sorry I'm just not interested to spend the time to go through it with you, it is fixable though [05:19] ActionParsnip, what is a keyboard only way to log off? Without a Super key also. [05:19] sirninja: you can blacklist the BSSID in your hosts file [05:19] lucent: ok sir [05:19] Ahh ok, I think i got it working o.O [05:19] it won't connect to THAT AP. [05:19] \o/ sexy [05:19] misteralexander: How exactly do I do that? [05:19] ok great [05:19] I had installed ubuntu, and then made another partition and then installed windows 7, however windows 7 removed ubuntu from my bootloader. I tried following guides online with the use of the ubuntu live CD, but it never worked out and I kept getting errors. [05:20] sirninja: hold on . . . I've got it, let me copy it. [05:20] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304731 [05:20] Spoofy: was it an msdos or gpt disklabel? [05:20] Spoofy: did you put windows on first partition? [05:20] msdos is "MBR" and gpt is mac osx, win7 [05:20] how can i run other virtual operation systems as virtual machines? [05:20] No I put it on the second. [05:21] * Not starting jetty [05:21] can any one help [05:21] pigiron, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper returns nothing [05:21] that's something it tells me at the boot screen. [05:21] !kvm | jisiko [05:21] jisiko: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [05:21] i need to run linux 5.4 and probably some windows oses and virtual machines [05:21] I'm not too good with ubuntu, but I can manage a little. [05:21] yeah but the virtualbox you get from their site gives you usb support does kvm? [05:21] pigiron, lshw shows the driver is mdiswrapper+netathuwx [05:22] Jordan_U: It only reads 2 lines from /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme for some reason [05:22] ndiswrapper+netathuwx* [05:22] sirninja: it's all done in your /etc/hosts.deny file . . . google that & it'll walk you through it. [05:22] Ebrahem: argh! A ndiswrapper problem... you had problems the native driver? [05:23] So is anyone familiar with my issue? [05:23] Volkodav: Add GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga to /etc/default/grub. [05:23] sexy_: what was the problem? [05:23] jisiko: there is no linux 5.4 [05:23] I'm trying to write a bash script which compiles and runs a c# program [05:23] how would I do that? [05:23] misteralexander: I thought hosts.deny required ip addresses, it works with mac addresses as well? [05:23] ActionParsnip: he's from the distant future [05:23] Volkodav: Though since grub supports png also, and at a higher quality than that tga, I would recommend you use a png/jpeg image instead. [05:23] lucent: very distant indeed [05:23] WXZ did you install mono? [05:23] Spoofy: im pretty sure win 7 has to be installed on the first partition but not 100% [05:23] pigiron, no native driver works with my usb, dlink dwa 126, the one i am using is windows' 64bit. [05:23] Spoofy: yes [05:24] Let me try Jordan_U [05:24] i_is_broke: it doesnt matter, it's all handled for you [05:24] Can I just switch the partitions with Gpartion on the ubuntu live CD? [05:24] ActionParsnip: then why did it remove ubuntu thebn? [05:24] i_is_broke: not sure, i dont use windows [05:24] What is Jetty, and why do I have it installed such that it's printing messages at my boot screen? [05:25] i_is_broke: but grub doesn't care where it is [05:25] ActionParsnip: haha me either...lol [05:25] WXZ, I'm not too good with bash, but I've compiled C# programs before using linux. [05:25] ActionParsnip: yeah i know grub dont, but windows does care where it is, and i think it is suppose to be like the first partition [05:25] Ebrahem: according to Wikipedia there are very few 64 bit Windows XP drivers available for use with ndiswrapper. [05:25] Spoofy: I have to, I just want a faster way to do it other than going into terminal [05:26] Ah, I see. [05:26] and then cding into the right directory [05:26] then running gmcs, then running mono [05:26] Have you tried using monodevelop? [05:26] pigiron: use the vista 64bit drivers, should be ok [05:26] misteralexander: And is that the best way to do this? I'm on a network with many access points and it just so happens the one closest to my room doesn't function properly, but it has the strongest signal here, so ubuntu defaults to that one [05:26] Spoofy: its a lot easier if you install windows first as well. [05:26] Jordan_U: still does not work [05:26] Yeah, but I don't want to reinstall ubuntu :( It took me so long to get me the write setup heh [05:26] pigiron, if my usb vendor/device is listed in wireless.kernel.org, it should natively work right? [05:27] sudo update-grub does not see thew image [05:27] Spoofy: yeah, I guess I'll stick to monodevelop [05:27] sirninja: I believe nm can be told to ignore certain SSIDs [05:27] Volkodav: Can you pastebin your current /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [05:27] Do you think it's the best if I install windows first? === sonic is now known as sonicdh [05:27] Spoofy: have you updated grub after installing windows.? [05:27] Hey guys, hows it going? [05:27] ActionParsnip: Well, they all have the same ssid's it's the bssid's that are different [05:27] Spoofy... yes do install winblows first and then linux [05:27] sirninja: Hmm . . . I think I misunderstood your problem . . . I'm checking right now. [05:27] Spoofy: if you do then the dual boot will be handled cleaner, install windows to only a portion of the drive space rather than the default 100% and you wont have to mess with resizing [05:28] ActionParsnip: then Wikipedia is out of date... it says ndiswrapper doesn't support NDIS 6. [05:28] pigiron: update it then, it's a wiki [05:28] u are supposed to install w7 1st not ubuntu on a dual booter [05:28] Ah, darn. [05:28] thanks i thought so [05:28] Is anyone else getting a 404 when trying to his the main i386 sources for makerick when you do an apt-get update? [05:28] Balsaq: you can do it either, win first is just easier [05:28] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304741 [05:28] *hit [05:28] ActionParsnip: i guess you need to update it if you think it's wrong. [05:28] yes much easier [05:29] so he /she just need to install grub now right? [05:29] Is there anyway I can get to my ubuntu parition for now? Or must I just reinstall everything? [05:29] Anybody? [05:29] Spoofy: try updating grub and see if it sees it. [05:29] pigiron: i dont edit wikipedia, or use ndiswrapper [05:29] ActionParsnip: do you think wicd would have more options? [05:30] Do I just go to the ubuntu life CD and do sudo apt-get install grub? [05:30] ActionParsnip: neither do I [05:30] i have seen documentation somewhere on installing or upgdating grub after the fact or repairing it after windows wrecks it [05:30] sirninja: worth a try :) [05:30] Volkodav: And your /etc/default/grub? [05:30] keep scrolling [05:30] Balsaq: sure, but you can then boot to liveCD and put grub back in [05:30] it is in the same post Jordan_U [05:30] i have dual monitors using 'twin view'. How can i make it so that both monitors' windows 'tabs' aren't all on one monitor? it clogs it up [05:30] ActionParsnip, vista64bit drivers says "hardware present: no" in ndiswrapper [05:31] Ok one more thing [05:31] yes correct ActionParsnip [05:31] How do I compile files so I can install them? [05:31] Spoofy: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide . [05:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:31] Ebrahem: can you pastebin the output of "lsusb -v" while the wireless device is plugged in? [05:31] How do I go about removing anything that has to do with Google from my system. Is there a wild card for removing anything with google in the name [05:31] pigiron, sure [05:32] mcnuggets: did you install using deb packages, or by "make install" / installer-ing random things [05:32] sirninja: I think I might over thinking this . . . you HAVE tried to use the built in GUI frontend for configuring your wireless, right? [05:33] lucent: Neither. I just did an Dist upgrade with apt-get in Terminal and I seen a few headers or something with Google in the name. [05:33] sirninja: In that you can choose to deny or "Auto" connect and stuff like that. You can prefer a different network than just the one with the strongest bars. [05:33] hello, i am unfamiliar with grub2, how would i add the boot option pci=routeirq to my grub.cfg? [05:33] Spoofy i think this directly addresses your concern: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows (posted it again because i didn't use your name the 1st time). [05:33] Jordan_U: it is the weirdest thing I came across and it is like that on 2 different machines [05:34] Ebrahem: try win7 then [05:34] all files seem ok huh ? [05:34] Volkodav: What is the output of "file /usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga"? [05:34] Syco54645: you don't add it to grub.cfg, that file is generated [05:34] pigiron, http://pastebin.com/iDHBX6Pt [05:35] ActionParsnip: i realize that but i would like to add that boot option. can you point me to where i get that information at? [05:35] Syco54645: /etc/default/grub [05:35] Syco54645: you add it in the quotes with: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to get write access [05:35] ActionParsnip, already did. now reading wireless.kernel.org and trying to figure how to install the combat-wireless river [05:35] Jordan_U: /usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga: Targa image data - RGB 640 x 424 [05:35] !grub2 | Syco54645 [05:35] Syco54645: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:35] hello [05:35] mcnuggets, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to remove google sources. [05:35] Syco54645: once you edit and save the file, run: sudo update-grub and it will put the settings in the grub.cfg file the right way [05:35] misteralexander: That could work, but there are A LOT of access points here (college campus) and only 1 I know of that doesn't work [05:35] mcnuggets, just delete the lines with google in it [05:35] okay, i'll try this! [05:35] Ebrahem: is the device a usb wireless or an internal device? [05:36] anyone using burg? does it bring load to boot time or boot process due to graphics? is it slow compared to normal grub? is it easy to configure? [05:36] ActionParsnip: thanks! [05:36] misteralexander: Definitely a fix for when I'm here though, just have to look for a way to switch it out easily I guess [05:36] ActionParsnip, usb wireless dlink dwa 126 [05:36] hopefully this fixes the slow write to usb drives.... [05:36] lexvegas: Good stuff. Not quite the answer I was looking for but it's a start. Thank you muchly [05:37] Syco54645: it will also add to all subsequent kernels, grub legacy didnt do this and was a right pain [05:37] ActionParsnip: yeah i can see how this is a nicer setup [05:37] whats the difference between /etc/bash.bashrc and /home/username/.bashrc [05:37] Ebrahem: i'd sell it, or swap it with a windows user for one which works well with linux [05:37] mcnuggets, no problem [05:37] does usb3 work properly in 10.10? [05:37] Ebrahem: thanks... I'm looking into it. [05:37] saves me from having to edit menu.lst over and over again [05:39] sirninja -- LOL, just walk around & gather AP info . . . when Ubuntu gets a good list going, you can just prefer certain ones over others. [05:39] exit [05:39] misteralexander? how do I prefer some over others if they have the same SSID? [05:40] anyone using burg? does it bring load to boot time or boot process due to graphics? is it slow compared to normal grub? is it easy to configure? [05:41] Ebrahem: The VendorID:DeviceID is 07d1:3a10... so you have a Atheros AR9271 chipset... which should be supported since the 2.6.31 kernel... what's your kernel version? [05:41] AbhiJit: burg isnt supported here [05:42] ActionParsnip, ok. where can i ask about it? [05:42] pigiron, uname -a shows Linux Ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic [05:42] AbhiJit: #burg maybe [05:42] Has anyone got the magic jack to work for them? [05:42] ActionParsnip, yah [05:43] Ebrahem: does "lsmod | grep ath" get a hit? [05:43] pigiron, no [05:44] Ebrahem: k... hold on. [05:44] if i have an alias set to alias g='gnome-open' how do i run it? [05:44] just type g file? [05:45] pigiron: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link [05:45] I thought apparmor was supposed to be removed from firefox in 9.10. Why am I still getting error messages in my boot log from it? Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox [05:45] Is there some way to figure out what the current init level is? [05:45] banker247: yes [05:46] Ahh, trying to install last.fm scrobbler on Ubuntu. This is a pain. Any help? [05:46] !initlevel [05:46] !init [05:46] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [05:46] hmm [05:46] sexy_: er... the default music player has it built in... [05:46] err...whoops [05:46] I suppose banshee does too...let me check [05:47] sexy... is it an exe? [05:47] That doesn't show my current initlevel, but rc.local looks useful for this [05:47] 这里不能打中文吗？ [05:47] IsmAvatar: it's only a warning, i wouldnt fret [05:47] The scrobbler? No I was trying to download it via the source [05:47] ActionParsnip: any way to make it stop printing that line on the boot screen? It's mildly annoying. [05:47] ActionParsnip, what about.. creating the file ~/.bash_aliases like it tells you to do in bashrc i've created this file however my alieases are not functioning out of it [05:47] IsmAvatar: not sure, surely plymouth hides all that? [05:48] Volkodav: Could you run this and pastebin the output: sudo sh -cx ". /etc/default/grub; . /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib; /etc/grub.d/00_header" [05:48] ok... this is a completely different issue (not a Wine issue) [05:48] 应该挺多可以看懂中文的吧。 [05:48] !cn | frank [05:48] frank: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:48] i've tried many techniques for redirecting /CompCogNeuro/CU3D to /CompCogNeuro/index.php/CU3D but it's not working [05:48] Hm Banshee seems to have last.fm integrated but its not scrobbling my songs [05:48] please point me to the magic recipe for this http redirect on Ubuntu. I'm using apache. thanks. [05:48] banker247: i've always used .bashrc personally [05:49] ActionParsnip, do you know what i mean about the alieses file though? [05:49] Is there any way to set up various system sounds? I had used an older version of Ubuntu that had it but 10.10 only has a couple of options. [05:49] cortexman: if you are behind a router an want access from the www you will need your router manual [05:49] ActionParsnip: maybe. I'll have to reboot to find out. But I was getting a bunch of messages appearing on the boot screen. A half dozen from VMWare, which I uninstalled since I dont' use it anymore. [05:49] banker247: not heard of it dude, sorry [05:49] banker247, have you logged out and back in yet? that was my problem [05:49] here is a list of what I've tried: http://pastebin.ca/raw/1994169 [05:49] i can't figure out why .xsession isn't running when i log in. i may have accidentally messed with a file but im not sure which one.. :O [05:50] ActionParsnip, how does what you said relate to what I said? [05:50] there is no logical link to a router. [05:50] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304772 [05:50] lexvegas, whats a simple way to logout [05:51] hi all, why on the ubuntu download page there's no checksum value? Am i missing something [05:51] Is anybody knowledgeable about setting up virtual hosts on ubuntu for Apache 2.2? [05:51] cortexman: you stated you wanted to perform http redirects which sounded like you wanted to run a web facing server with you running apache [05:52] banker247, if you are on a desktop setting, choose logout from the power menu, if you are in a terminal type setting i believe exit is the command [05:52] !hashes | clu3 [05:52] clu3: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs.

Ubuntu is cock blocking my redirect;. [05:53] please see my pastebin link [05:54] ActionParsnip: so does Ubuntu ship with the ath9k_hw driver? [05:54] bojangles: Are you sure the executable bit is set on a.out? [05:54] ubottu, DK thanks [05:54] ArsenRei: I'm sorry, what does that mean? [05:54] You're welcome [05:55] cortexman: have you asked in #httpd [05:55] pigiron: i think so, there are ways to comile it though. i used to have an ar5000x which needed it so I took it out and got something friendlier [05:56] ActionParsnip: thanks. [05:56] ArsenRei: (i'm just doing what i do when compiling code on the linux partition or my external hard drive, but i just reformatted my computer and now have an ntfs partition for files) [05:56] bojangles: If you run `ls a.out` do you see the 'x' present near rw? You need that to run a.out. [05:56] bojangles: Hm...I'm not sure then. [05:56] there's no 'x' [05:56] Ebrahem: when you run "modinfo ath9k_hw", do you get a hit?

Someone pls help me? [05:58] ArsenRei: that didn't add an 'x' [05:58] pigiron, yes I got some output [05:58] bojangles: That's all I really know, unfortunately. Sorry. [05:59] clu3: did you check the CD for defects once first booted to? [05:59] Ebrahem: k... what happens if you "sudo modprobe ath9k_hw" ? [05:59] ArsenRei: no problem, thanks for trying [05:59] how can i disable s from activiating the shutdown menu in ubuntu? i want to use that keyboard shortcut elsewhere [05:59] ActionParsnip, sorry, what do you mean by CD defects? === user is now known as LuisCarlos [05:59] pigiron, nothing happens [06:00] How do I view the log of boot messages and shutdown messages? [06:00] how can i run an a.out executable off a mounted ntfs partition? (i get "permission denied") thanks [06:00] IsmAvatar: dmesg [06:00] clu3, i had that problem with a xubuntu 1004 cd i burnt, never did figure it out, ended up burning it again at 8x speed and it worked. [06:00] ActionParsnip, the full error is "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs" [06:00] bojangles: you need execute permissions chmod +x a.out [06:01] pigiron, should I restart? I see 0 next to ath9k_hw, while lsmoding [06:01] Despite my outrage over the fact that I can't seem to change the fugly purple screen of doom I'm really digging Ubuntu 10.04 [06:01] clu3: when you boot to the CD you can tell the CD to test itself to see if the burn process was ok, on the same screen you can also test ram. When you start booting the CD pres SPACEBAR and the old school Ubuntu boot screen will show, you should check both [06:01] Balsaq, thanks, that could be my case too [06:01] infid: I don't think that's what I'm looking for. At shutdown, I see a message printed that says "Asking all remaining processes to terminate", but I don't see that in dmesg. [06:01] infid: i tried that but i didn't change anything unfortunately [06:01] lol Balsaq. [06:01] ActionParsnip, thans, I'll check that. back in a min [06:01] infid: there was a "noexec" in fstab [06:01] Ebrahem: no need to restart... does it show up in a "sudo iwconfig" ? [06:01] IsmAvatar: dmesg is for startup anyway [06:01] but i deleted that, unmounted, and remounted [06:02] infid: and no change [06:02] pigiron, nope [06:02] infid: oh [06:02] Anyone, know of any ATI drivers for Xpress 1150 chipset? [06:02] Hey folks, got a problem with updating. [06:02] Can anyone help? [06:02] Ebrahem: argh... your device is listed here as being supported... ugh... http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATH9K_HW.html [06:03] I keep getting a 404 from the maverick main sources when I do a apt-get update [06:03] Ahh stupid banshee [06:03] any ideas? [06:03] clu3, everytime i forget and let one rip at high speed i get some bizarre thing like that. [06:03] sonicdh: use software centre to change server, don't use the 'best server' button, manually choose one [06:04] Alright, lemmie give that a try [06:04] hi, im a newb, and need c++ help, running maverick, is this the right place to ask? [06:04] infid: is a reboot necessary? [06:04] hey doomgiver, Im just starting on C++ too. [06:04] hi [06:04] what resources are you using to learn? [06:05] i've used c++ before, i have ajunta installed [06:05] bojangles: try /var/log/messages [06:05] Oh, youre ahead of me then [06:05] sonicdh: try another server [06:05] Ebrahem: ok... do a "sudo modprobe -r ath9k-hw" and try "sudo modprobe ath9k_htc" [06:05] dont worry, i dont know *that* much! [06:06] I can just make a calculator app... [06:06] i got that i've to put .h files in /usr/include [06:06] but where to get the files from??? [06:06] sexy_: good [06:06] Anyone know where shutdown messages are logged to? [06:07] Ebrahem: ...and then see if the device shows up in a "sudo iwconfig". [06:07] Do programming jobs pay well anyway? [06:07] ActionParsnip, when i choose "Check CD defects" menu option, i see a blackscreen fora while, and then it goes to the Ubuntu trademark and later on the error as above. Sounds like the CD is ok? [06:07] doomgiver: depends what you arelooking for... [06:07] I was thinking about it for my major [06:07] !ot | sexy_ [06:07] sexy_: #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! [06:07] right, sorry [06:07] sexy_: lots of demand === andrea is now known as Guest11644 [06:08] infid: what should i be looking for in there? [06:08] hi all [06:08] i copied files from my ubuntu install ext4 onto my external hard drive and attempted to copy them to my windows vista machine, but i think im having permission issues. Is there a way to edit permissions from windows [06:08] like alloc.h, graphics.h, dos.h [06:08] so what channel to use? [06:08] for this topic, i mean [06:08] clu3: you will be told if its ok on screen in words :) [06:09] pigiron, it is not showing [06:09] does someone want to tell me why the dvd 32-bit installer is taking *forever* to get out of the 'determining files to skip copying' ? [06:09] doomgiver: ##c probably [06:09] wow, i've never had any ubuntu before do this. even 10.10 x64 installed much faster than this! [06:09] needhelp1, both ubuntu and windows can utilize FAT, but u may seem some errors between ext4 and nfts [06:09] IsmAvatar: please elaborate, im totally new [06:09] freakabcd: ext4? [06:10] ActionParsnip, uhm.. this one doesn't sayanything, just goes straight to the install process i think...weird [06:10] Balsaq, errors in the files themselves ? [06:10] doomgiver: You might try asking on the ##c channel [06:10] oh [06:10] thanks [06:10] np [06:10] lucent, ofcourse not. ext3 [06:10] freakabcd: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [06:10] uhh, i just type ##c? [06:10] freakabcd: well, don't know. [06:10] Ebrahem: argh! It appears that chipset is a state of flux in the kernel right now... so now I see why you're resorting to ndiswrapper... but I'm not so sure it's going to work on a 64 bit system. [06:10] needhelp1, i the transfer process (error may be the wrong word). [06:10] doomgiver: you can search packages including them from debian.org... [06:10] Jordan_U, not net access on the machine where install is going on :( [06:10] doomgiver: typically you just type /join ##c === wolf is now known as Guest57296 [06:10] ok [06:11] freakabcd: If you run "dmesg" do you see any IO errors? [06:11] Balsaq, any solution to the issue? [06:11] lemme check [06:11] eraggo: i use software center or synaptic package manager [06:11] Balsaq, maybe i should clarify [06:11] possibly make a FAT partition and use it for files to be shared by both windows and ubuntu [06:11] pigiron, ok thank you for your time [06:11] So I'm trying to change my splash screen. I would like to use one of these http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=160 but these don't do anything, they're just weird files and links to debian art... [06:11] or apt-get from command line (very rare, usually copied from net) [06:12] Am I doing something wrong? [06:12] synaptic + packagename... :) and packagename you get from debian.org [06:12] Balsaq, i copied files from my ext4 onto a external hdd that is ntsf, and im trying to copy them to another nfts drive with .. errors [06:12] *thanks to all of u for ur time* [06:12] i try to copy the files and nothing happens [06:12] recording the screen using ffmpeg with sound? [06:12] i tried one but theres no sound in it [06:12] Hey, I deleted my panel at the bottom, how do I get it back? (The one with my windows and the button on the left that shows the desktop and at the right it has the different workspaces) [06:12] needhelp1: did you detatch the price from the system? [06:13] A_New_Server: it's gone, you can create a new one though [06:13] !panelreset | A_New_Server [06:13] ActionParsnip, ? i dont follo [06:13] A_New_Server: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:13] needhelp1: was the other system you want to copy TO a different PC? [06:13] needhelp1, maybe someone else can chime in but i think sometimes issues occur between files transferred between ext4 to ntfs [06:13] ActionParsnip, yeah [06:13] recording the screen with ffmpeg [06:13] help [06:14] needhelp1: ok how did you remove the drive from the first system? [06:14] theres no sound [06:14] needhelp1, i think files can be tranferred easier from ext4 to FAT [06:14] Jordan_U, there isn't anything out of the ordinary other than stuupid nouveau messages [06:14] Sn4k3, can you use gtk record my desktop? ITS in the software center, its better [06:14] so i assume if i do a text mode install everything will be fast and spiffy [06:14] but theres a codec problem with that so... [06:14] Thanks guys [06:14] i hate the nouveau drive with a passion now [06:14] driver [06:14] ActionParsnip, copied the files over and right click to safely remove the drive .. its usb [06:14] freakabcd: sure, you don't need to load a bulky x server to get installing :) [06:15] needhelp1: just checking you did the safe remove ;) [06:15] ActionParsnip, but its on a friend's machine. so i thought i'd show him a gui installer and such [06:15] install.py is eating 100% cpu according to top [06:15] machine itself is kinda crawling now. no idea when it will finish installing if ever! [06:16] okay, so I'm still getting the erros with updating. [06:16] here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23 [06:16] needhelp1: if you chkdsk the partition, it may help [06:16] i'm getting a "./a.out permission denied error" when running off an ntfs partition...this didn't happen in previous ubuntu versions...does anyone have a solution? thanks [06:17] ActionParsnip, since the external is nfts, and the other drive is nfts, there shouldnt be an issue there right, so its probablly permissions ? [06:18] im running a live cd and trying to build source from it but im out of space, how can i get more space? [06:18] Not really having a whole lot of luck here. I just want to find out what the text Ubuntu is outputting all over the boot screen where it shows the Ubuntu logo [06:18] and likewise for the shutdown screen [06:18] swimb: install ? [06:18] livecd is not meant to be an environment for compilation [06:19] ah ok [06:19] Actionparsnip, I'm still getting errors when updating. Here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23 [06:19] NTFS and other Windows fs types are very different from Linux native file systems. [06:20] How do I get permission to add fonts to the font folder? [06:20] A_New_Server: you shouldn't have to do that [06:21] It says I'm not the owner when I go to properties -> permissions and when I try to copy over the fonts it doesn't work [06:21] any devs in here or anybody that can tell me when the new pidgin version is in the repos? Any workaround for the not working icq protocol atm? [06:21] A_New_Server: create a '.fonts' directory in your home directory, drop them in there [06:21] sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com $1 [06:21] sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9F [06:21] patsbin: er... probably not, but this one is easy to find out [06:21] any idea how to force the update manager to display the upgrade button to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04? [06:21] sonicdh: you have added a ppa withuot the key [06:22] lucent, how do I know if it worked? [06:22] lucent: pardon? [06:22] Oh wait nevermind, I'm a retard [06:22] patsbin: 'dpkg -l pidgin' to show installed pidgin version, and then see if it matches the version released at Pidgin website http://pidgin.im [06:22] has anyone run into problems running executables off of other partitions, etc. in 10.10? [06:22] actionparsnip: but I added those ages ago and this is the first time I've had this problem [06:22] 10.10 runs .exe files? [06:23] lucent: I already know that there is a new version. [06:23] patsbin: have a look at http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [06:23] it's right on the website [06:23] sorry, it's an a.out file [06:23] sonicdh: change server from the main server, it may help [06:23] MrAnthrope: sure if you install wine [06:23] but it doesn't have execute permissions [06:23] lol [06:23] lucent: Just wanted to know, if anybody know when the new version will be available in the repository. [06:24] it won't, patsbin [06:24] MrAnthrope: check the appdb for compatibility [06:24] also explained right on their website. [06:24] actionparsnip, here's the feedback from the code you asked me to run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9 [06:24] oops === wjrcloud is now known as jediwjr [06:24] sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9 [06:25] gpg: "9FF820FA298C1C9" not a key ID: skipping [06:25] there [06:25] lucent: so ubuntu is fine with a pidgin version with broken icq support atm? [06:26] patsbin: yeah, that's not a security vulnerability, use the PPA from the project website [06:26] Ubuntu 10.10 dosent work of live flashdrive? [06:26] 10.10 won't allow me to change the executable permissions [06:26] lucent: crazy shit. ubuntu sucks more and more every day [06:26] bojangles: did you try chmod? [06:26] * lucent sighs [06:26] waste of my time luser [06:27] pksadiq: yes, unfortunately [06:27] Sn4k3: yes it does, its a great way to install to netbooks [06:27] bojangles: and so sudo chmod? [06:27] Sn4k3: I think Ubuntu 10.10 livecd ISO is difficult to get onto a USB flashdrive correctly [06:27] no i have a problem [06:27] Carplips: the tags you're describing are "file attributes" which AFAIK are supported only within the OS and application, not at the lower file system on the disk. [06:27] Sn4k3: it does work, just has some trouble because of conflicting versions of syslinux [06:27] ohh anyway to fix [06:27] Funny, more people would raise a stink if they changed software versions in the same release by default. [06:27] pksadiq: yes, that didn't work either unfortunately [06:27] lucent: it's not there is 1-2-3 app from pendrielinux for windows or unetbootin for both ubuntu and windows [06:28] cuz i want install in my netbook [06:28] lucent: not hard in any way [06:28] Sn4k3: if it won't boot correctly, then well, I forgot how to fix it but there's something you can type if you did get a syslinux prompt, I think it's just "live" and enter [06:28] bojangles: what is output of ls -al a.out ? [06:28] Sn4k3: did you MD5 test the ISO you have? [06:28] yea [06:28] People are given an easy route to move to a newer version and are still not happy. [06:28] -rw------- 1 tom tom 17376 2010-11-17 01:18 a.out [06:28] ActionParsnip: syslinux is poofed, I've tried Unetbootin and the Ubuntu image creator, both do it wrong [06:28] and it says some ramzwap thing [06:28] Sn4k3: and what OS are you making the live USB in? [06:29] lucent: tried pendrive linux 1-2-3 app? [06:29] ubuntu 10.10 [06:29] ActionParsnip: no, it was not suggested to me by Ubuntu docs to try pendrive linux 1-2-3 app [06:29] cuz my desktop runs it fine cuz i used a cd [06:29] bojangles: what is the output of sudo chmod +x a.out ? [06:29] pksadiq: there's no out [06:29] lucent: its a windows app and can downloaded the iso for you and MD5 test all in one, its nifty :) [06:30] ActionParsnip: I'll remember that next time I have access to Windows ? :) [06:30] bojangles: after trying that try ./a.out ,what is the output? [06:30] What would they be saying about Ubuntu if the newer version of pidgin were added mid release cycle and all of their contacts and logs got deleted.... [06:30] lucent: ok, if you have network access the run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install usb-creator usb-creator-gtk so its the latest one then use that [06:30] pksadiq: bash: ./a.out: Permission denied [06:30] lucent: nice [06:31] bojangles: try sh a.out [06:31] bojangles: sudo chown $USER:$USER ./a.out then retry [06:31] it's been a decade now without Microsoft, pretty much wonder when something better than Ubuntu is going to come along so I can use that [06:31] could I make a print server from an old ubuntu box.. so that I can share my parallel ported laser jet iii p on my LAN? [06:31] Ebrahem: does "ls /lib/firmware/ar7010*" produce a hit? [06:32] bonez2046: ah, you could. The LJ IIIP is a nice old printer for sure ;) [06:32] bonez2046: aren't your rubber rollers worn out and cracked yet though? [06:32] lucent: we bought this one damned near 20 years ago .. still works great.. have repaired a few things on it [06:32] pigiron, no such file or directory [06:32] lucent: I have replaced the clutch, the laser, and the rollers.. I think the top rollers are due for replacement [06:33] that thing is older than Office Space [06:33] LP LOAD LTR [06:33] Ebrahem: check out this web page... http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc [06:33] pksadiq: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533368/ [06:33] ActionParsnip: that didn't seem to do anything [06:33] lucent: yeah.. I am installing 10.10 on an older deskpro.. hoping to plug this printer as well as a scanner into this box.. to act as my print and scan server [06:34] bojangles: it changed the file ownership to your current user, you should now have access [06:34] bonez2046: usb-parallel adapter on your desktop machine might be more efficient [06:35] lucent: I know I could buy a box from HP et al, that would give the printer an IP.. but this box is just sitting around.. [06:35] bojangles: what type of file is it? is it a compiled file actually? does gedit a.out shows any readable texts? [06:35] personally I wouldn't be able to justify the electricity [06:35] ActionParsnip: a.out doesn't show up as executable though [06:35] lucent: usb-parallel? is that a hardware device? [06:35] bojangles: thn run: chmod +x a.out [06:35] Ebrahem: argh! I should have said "ls /lib/firmware/ar9271*" [06:35] pksadiq: it's compiled f90 code [06:35] bonez2046: yeah it's parallel port on one side, and usb on the other, so you can plug old stuff into USB capable computer [06:36] instead of a print server though, just plug it in when you need it or what [06:36] ActionParsnip: that still isn't changing anything [06:36] hi [06:36] Ebrahem: ... at least I think /lib/firmware is correct... I don't run Ubuntu. [06:36] bojangles: fortran? [06:36] pksadiq: yes, sorry [06:36] lucent: well, my wife and boys print to this printer.. on home LAN.. so I need to have it on.. but I guess they COULD send their jobs to it and then come down and switch the printer on [06:36] alright, i'm a bit confused here. how in the heck do i add a "Terminal" icon or something to the kubuntu netbook GUI? [06:36] pigiron, yes one hit, /lib/firmware/ar9271.fw [06:37] i found out how to add apps [06:37] but it's freakin' confusing [06:37] bonez2046: lights dim when you turn it on? ;) [06:37] lucent: no, they are fine.. [06:37] Ebrahem: do you have a /var/log/messages file? [06:37] bojangles: try gfortran to compile, did you did so ? [06:38] I'm just kidding, wandering o/t [06:38] pksadiq: yes, that's how i compiled it [06:38] printserver, or get a networkable printer :) [06:38] pigiron, yeah [06:38] bojangles: is a.out in $HOME? [06:38] ActionParsnip: no, it's on an ntfs partition where i store all my files [06:38] But why is the splash screen purple? This seems like a bad decision. [06:39] Ebrahem: k... what does it say after you "sudo modprobe -r ath9k_htc" and then "sudo modprobe ath9k_htc"? [06:39] I'm assuming it will run on the linux partition, but it used to not have to be that way (pre-10.10) [06:40] bojangles: if it works in linux partition make it executable from a linux partition and copy or dd it back [06:40] linux_probe: the purpose in setting up server is to NOT have to buy a new networked printer [06:40] pigiron, registered new interface driver ath9k_hif_usb [06:40] didnt see that part [06:40] bojangles: ahhh, thats why. NTFS is too primitive to store UNIX permissions which is why you are getting issues. If you move it to an Ext3/4 etc partition, it will be fine [06:40] linux_probe: no worry [06:40] hey guys, i cant get into the ##c++ channel [06:41] did you registeR? [06:41] it says "cannot send to channel [06:41] doomgiver: i think you need to register [06:41] ActionParsnip: this wasn't an issue until i upgraded though [06:41] i have to do it in EACH channel? [06:41] i could run things off external hard drives too [06:41] ActionParsnip: I'd guess that it's set when you mount NTFS to disallow executing programs from that mountpoint? not the permissions issue [06:42] well it could be permissions are forced -x by default [06:43] my Acer Aspire One AOD255 arrived today [06:43] first thing i did after seeing XP boot up: install kubuntu 10.10 [06:43] hi === administrator_ is now known as wendy [06:43] Ebrahem: no error message? [06:43] Gorroth: you waited to boot XP? sorry to hear that, bro [06:43] well actually that was the 3rd thing i guess [06:43] i had to go buy an external USB drive since my flash drive didn't work on this. it locked up the computer for some reason [06:43] xp? === wendy is now known as wendy_ === wendy_ is now known as admi [06:44] hey all. my webcam is functioning for video but i cant figure out how to get the audio working. it used to work just fine but when I moved some usb devices around it started having problems. when i test the input on multimedia selection it seems to work by making echoing noises but in programs like skype it doesnt [06:44] pigiron, nope [06:44] pksadiq: i can set the permissions in my linux file system but i lose them when i copy it back to the ntfs partition [06:44] lucent: had to make sure the hardware worked before i potentially wasted time trying to install :) [06:44] I'm trying to put a globalmenu on Ubuntu and I found this link on google (http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu), for step 3, how do I know which one of those I am using [06:44] wrektjet: System | Perversions | Sound ; select webcam for input, quit skype, open skype, skype preferences and check everything out [06:45] Ebrahem: crap... I'm tapped out... I just can't see why it's not firing up. [06:45] lol @ bojangles [06:45] cracks me up [06:46] bojangles: after making it executable try copying it back with dd command [06:46] you people... doin' it wrong [06:46] the mount could be forcing default permissions mask [06:47] How do I know if I'm using Karmic Koala, Jaunty Jackalope, Intrepid Ibex or Hardy Heron, also what are those? [06:48] A_New_Server: lsb_release -c will tell you [06:48] A_New_Server: the repo only has up to lucid on so is no use if you are using maverick [06:49] pksadiq: i'm not sure how to use dd, but either way, i can't really keep copying a file back and forth...it just seems strange that upgrading would force people to migrate files? [06:49] Hmm, having a bigger problem now, my terminal won't start [06:49] I see the "starting terminal" in the bottom when I click it, but then it just disappears === aperson is now known as APERSON [06:49] A_New_Server: press ALT+F2 and run: xterm [06:50] If anyone is using Ubuntu One, if you have ANY filenames in any of your directories, with NON-ASCII filenames, the whole sync fails....rename them to ASCII and it works [06:50] I love you. [06:50] bojangles: after making it executable use the command dd if=/path/to/a.out of=/path/to/ntfs/a.out [06:50] CaneToad: thanks, it's been noted before, but yeah what a tricky problem [06:50] A_New_Server: many do :) [06:51] It says I have lucid, which isn't a listed thing on step 3, is there a way to get around that or change my [whatever that is]? [06:51] bojangles: please not that if you use dd command in a rong way , it might mess up your partition [06:51] wrong* [06:51] note* [06:51] okay, i'm probably not going to bother trying that then [06:51] A_New_Server: you can modify the line and replace the release name with the right one [06:51] I'm not able to execute... "sudo apt-get update"..... It returns this error.... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [06:51] E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ [06:51] ... Any IDEA guys? [06:52] is this a known issue with 10.10? [06:52] noob question alert : how do i boot into windows after installing linux? it wont let me (ie, no option in boot menu) [06:52] i didnt configure for dual boot [06:52] ActionParsnip, are you serious? Just edit the name and it'll work? [06:52] lucent thanks i was messing around in multimedia selection and the place to make the selection was simply in sound input under analog mono [06:52] Cyber_Beast: you might have already opened a synaptic [06:52] Good news! I changed my splash screen! Bad news! I think something is wrong with my graphics! [06:52] pksadiq: Nothing is opened... except terminal... [06:53] pksadiq: thanks for your help...i'll look into this issue some more [06:53] Cyber_Beast: somthing else might be being installing on another terminal? [06:54] bojangles: k [06:54] A_New_Server: yes, its like a web address, the server has a Lucid folder so you can just change it] [06:54] wrektjet: I have to do it when I plug in my webcam, and want to use Skype, but it does work after that [06:55] Greetings. With meerkat, what's quickest way to playing all multimedia & DVDs? good bad ugly, medibuntu, or what? [06:55] Okay is there a way to completely uninstall a splash screen and just get the ugly text? [06:55] I'm getting really frustrated. [06:55] MrAnthrope: frustrated at what? [06:55] And maybe a little bit drunk. [06:56] MrAnthrope: :O [06:56] I've been trying to change my splash screen for like 6 hours. [06:56] lol [06:56] I finally changed it. And the graphics are all FUBAR. [06:56] Like ALLLL fubar. [06:56] comment it out >_> [06:56] can anyone help me with ffmpeg [06:56] MrAnthrope: Mine just does not change at all [06:56] did you first drop to command line from Grub and do a "vbeinfo" to see what your video can handle? [06:56] Hi [06:57] ActionParsnip, so rather than "http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [06:57] " I do "http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu lucid main [06:57] " [06:57] did I first what? [06:57] does anyone know the screensaver in ubuntu? [06:57] @anyone, I tried to install a .deb package through the ubuntu software center but it stalled out and then I went to cancel it and it is just stuck on cancel. I have tried sudo apt-get remove , sudo dpkg --remove and it still isnt working [06:57] how to record your screen with FFmpeg ?? [06:57] I want to find the one with a green radar scanning [06:57] Also another thing (HOPEFULLY THE LAST >.>), software sources blinks with what looks like the box that prompts for a password and then disappears right after, how can I get it to work? [06:57] (I'm a complete noob :[ ) [06:58] Just stays stuck on cancel :( <-- sadface [06:58] MrAnthrope: When you see Grub, hit Esc, read what you have to push to get to command line. Then run "vbeinfo" to see what resolutions your computer will support in that mode. [06:58] Anyone can help me? [06:58] I don't see any grubs. [06:58] A_New_Server: exactly [06:58] There's no dirt in here. It's my bedroom. [06:59] Anyone know how to fix a locked canceling program from ubuntu software center? [06:59] MrAnthrope: then make your graphics that size, and be sure they are Mode RGB. [06:59] !apt-fix | jshmoe24 [06:59] jshmoe24: 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 » [06:59] thx [06:59] will try and report back, appreciated [06:59] it just says UBUNTU . . . . . [07:00] Do you have any idea on the other problem? It's odd that it's doing that just like the terminal was [07:00] MrAnthrope: I thought you meant Grub 2 wallpaper. nevermind. [07:00] MrAnthrope: :D [07:00] I'm not trying to start a flame-war, but in your guys opinion, what's the best KDE distribution? The more I read the more "ubuntu" seems to be going away from "conventional" Linux. [07:00] I have no idea what you are talking about :) [07:00] hi, i'm trying to install Drawpile using cmake and i am getting the error CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:754 (MESSAGE): Could NOT find QtCore header [07:00] Actually, EVERYTHING is doing that now, do you think restarting would help or is there a better solution? (Or solution period, not sure if restarting would even work) [07:00] Can anyone remind me what the fast-track is to getting multimedia playing in Meerkat? good bad ugly, medibuntu? [07:01] chris0626891: I don't understand why anyone uses KDE, nor have I had an application that forces me to use KDE, ever. so, uh take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:01] !ot | chris0626891 [07:01] chris0626891: #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! [07:02] lucent not sure what caused the issue. but thanks for putting me in the right spot. i was wasting lots of time in the multimedia selection [07:02] Does anyone know how to disable splash? [07:02] shawnboy: medibuntu is not bad, I'd say just take it one codec at a time, if you need support find and install support for it [07:02] wrektjet: no problem, glad you got it figured out [07:02] @ActionParSnip E: The package needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [07:03] wierd huh [07:03] lucent: ok, so add support for mp3, flac, then chase down what packages are required for x.264, etc? [07:03] MrAnthrope: by splash do you mean that screen(Logo) at the ubuntu startup? [07:03] Yup. [07:03] The purple screen that says UBUNTU and is purple and has 5 flashing red/white dots on it. [07:03] I want it gone. [07:03] I've been using ubuntu for years and havn't seen this. I don't like the ubuntu software center it crashes too much [07:03] Did I mention it's purple? [07:03] lucent: I don't know what to look for when it comes to playing DVDs. honestly I don't remember what I installed to get it working in my previous releases. [07:03] MrAnthrope: Hold shift during boot and select recovery mode from the grub menu. [07:04] Again about grubs. [07:04] I will try this thing you say. [07:04] MrAnthrope: just when your computer starts and boots press and hold SHIFT key and then press e and then remove the word quiet from there and press CTRL+X [07:05] @Actionparsnip, didn't work :( [07:05] :) [07:05] shawnboy: medibuntu.org details how to get the decryption going [07:05] hello everyone! :D [07:06] in ubuntu software center it is right at the end of installing but I canceled and now it is just stuck there [07:06] Is there a way to force uninstall what has already been installed by the .deb? [07:07] jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r ? [07:07] Im sure a reboot would do it but that would not teach me much :( [07:07] yes [07:07] @pksadiq, yes [07:07] its being stuburn [07:08] will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier? [07:09] jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r --force-all ? [07:09] let me try thx [07:09] MrAnthrope> did that fix work? [07:09] thank you soooo much worked :p [07:10] Hmm. Holding shift did nothing. It started up as usual. Big purple screen and all. [07:10] jshmoe24: Welcome [07:10] @pksadiq, Awesome man [07:10] I personally like the old splash screens. [07:10] jshmoe24: not a man, but a guy ;) [07:10] I second Maahes. [07:10] okay, starting to get the hang of the netbook edition of kubuntu [07:10] i just want it too boot up like an ole DOS machine [07:10] :) [07:11] Ebrahem: did you say it's a DWA-126 ? [07:11] @pksadiq, Awesome guy [07:11] don't think i like it as much as the full desktop edition, but i see how it has its merits for this size screen [07:11] Is there a way to do that, balsaq? [07:11] pigiron, yeah [07:11] MrAnthrope: I believe there is a way to make grub use the old-style splash screens, but I have been too lazy to do it. [07:11] I don't know what grub means. [07:11] Is that the splash screen? [07:11] !grub2 | MrAnthrope [07:11] MrAnthrope: 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 [07:11] MrAnthrope: Grub2 its the bootloader for ubuntu. It loads the splashscreen [07:12] MrAnthrope>prolly but i havent found it yet, it would be cool, all balck and white with numbers and letters flowing by like it was a test or something...old school. [07:12] * Maahes also really hates OSD, but I haven't found a guide for how to remove it. [07:12] Yes. Instead of big fugly purple crap. [07:12] Ebrahem: This makes no sense... but I found this from russia... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php%3Ftopic%3D122845.0&ei=in3jTMfoMoWKlwffuYnkDA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%252207d1:3a10%2522%2Bubuntu%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D [07:12] I'm about to uninstall. Or bake a pie. w/e [07:12] and then at the very end...a black and white password screen all official looking, then right to desktop. [07:12] MrAnthrope: This isn't a make it go away permanently, but if you hit Esc while it loads, it goes away. [07:13] I figured that out when I dropped my beer bottle on my keyboard. [07:13] MrAnthrope: :D [07:13] I now have a shrine to the beer bottle for making the fugly purple splash screen of doom go away. [07:13] Ebrahem: he got it working by downloading, and compiling a RaLink driver... Huh??? [07:13] will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier? [07:13] So there's no terminal command to just make the splash screen go away? === chris0626891 is now known as chris062689 [07:13] I have a layer 2 switch that I'm connecting my ubuntu box. Is there anyway to put the devices on the switch on different subnets (as a way to seperate broadcast traffic) and then have my ubuntu machine almost as a router and direct traffic across to other devices as needed? [07:14] there are so many cool things a computer can do while its booting to desktop, tests, info about hardware, sped tests...would look cool on the way up. [07:14] As long as it's not purple I don't even care. [07:14] MrAnthrope: in terminal type sudo chmod +w grub.cfg [07:14] pigiron, I've come across that link and ignored it when i saw he used ralink [07:14] ye-ah [07:14] Hello everybody, good day! :) [07:15] That's what I'm talking about, pksadiq. [07:15] MrAnthrope: sorry, sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:15] Why did someone not tell me this 6 hours ago? [07:15] I hate you all. [07:15] Ebrahem: me too... makes no sense... but there's two folks that appear to have gotten it to work using it... soooo strange! [07:15] No pie for you. [07:16] MrAnthrope: Each minute we try to learn Something new, we try to find new ways to the old Destinations ;) [07:16] Now what do I do, pksadiq? Reboot? [07:16] MrAnthrope: no, wait [07:16] * MrAnthrope waits. [07:17] MrAnthrope: now do sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub/grub.cfg [07:17] This has opened a blank grub.cfg in gedit. [07:17] MrAnthrope: sorry sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:17] hi [07:17] Ebrahem: if you look at his "lsusb" output, the only wireless device he seems to have matches yours (VendorID:DeviceID = 07d1:3a10) [07:18] spanish ? === coaboa_ is now known as coaboa [07:18] HAHA [07:18] "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" [07:18] MrAnthrope: Don't care [07:18] Como estan :) [07:19] :) [07:19] Busco amigos que usen ubuntu [07:19] Para compartir informacion [07:19] !es | palint240 [07:19] palint240: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[07:20] MrAnthrope: now below the line ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### you will see the word quiet somewhere, delete that, and only that [07:20] oh!! ok sorry mi friend :) [07:20] MrAnthrope: not that line, but *only* that word [07:21] #ubuntu-es [07:21] MrAnthrope: done?

[07:23] MrAnthrope: and save and reboot, please *Don't* change any other values there [07:23] Can anyone help me. I tried installing a .deb through ubuntu software center and it took forever so I decided to hit cancel and now its just stuck on cancel. [07:23] haha I shall resist the urge. [07:23] I thought I had it fixed but no [07:23] jshmoe24: again? [07:23] yes [07:24] it never did fix it [07:24] i thought it did though [07:24] jshmoe24: try synaptic, I think that's better [07:24] I know but the package wasn't in there and I was just wanting to install a deb and I doubleclicked on it instead of just using dpkg -i [07:25] any ideas [07:25] I think dpkg is locked [07:25] jshmoe24: kill that app [07:25] one sec [07:25] Well, that was odd. It started off fine and then ended up loading the splash screen towards the end anyway. lol. [07:26] those 5 red dots glaring at me like beady eyes. [07:26] Hey I'm here and I'm purple and you're going to have to deal with me forever and ever amen.

[07:59] Gurav: you could use dd to output zeros to a partition or disk [07:59] is there anyway to fix this boot problem i've been dealing with for the past week? when i try to boot, it just ends up stopping, with the last two lines being " * Setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". last time i used my comp, i installed an update, along with devilspie, and added a configuration file for gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal. i purged devilspie, but that didn't fix anything. the original intention was to h [07:59] ave a desktop terminal, but all i want now is for my computer to boot correctly, and nobody has managed to successfully help me fix this problem to date. [07:59] !resetpanel | JenniferB2 [07:59] JenniferB2: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [08:00] defaults ? [08:00] i just want it back [08:00] it is not there [08:00] JenniferB2, run gnome-panel [08:00] JenniferB2: if you right click the panel you can add what you wish [08:01] Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. [08:01] quit ? [08:01] sudo killall gnome-panel [08:01] gnome-panel [08:01] JenniferB2: press alt+f2 and run: killall gnome-panel ,then wait ;) [08:01] or what ActionParsnip said [08:01] furi: it will restrat on its own :) [08:02] ActionParsnip, yeah, kinda forgot [08:02] furi: got your back bro [08:02] or gnome-panel --replace [08:04] anyone here using linux mint?huh? [08:04] That reminds me, my panel has been acting weird as well. After every restart, the Network Manager applet either goes to the left to my custom launchers, or extreme right. And when I open Multiget, its panel icon is never on the right where it should, it is on the left side. Is this some config problem or a bug? [08:04] BlackCoffee: mint is offtopic here [08:04] yeah,i figured [08:04] but there's gotta be a couple of outsiders lurking around [08:06] dam...i don't wanna go to spotchat [08:08] hey,guys,anyone familiar with ctags?

[08:46] I need to load a page twice for it to load [08:46] ActionParsnip: i've updated it to version 210 but now 210 is not there at asus site, they now have only 209 [08:46] it is now, it never happened before [08:46] kazagistar: chews ram like a fat kid at a pie eating party [08:46] kazagistar: On every page or some website? [08:46] sosaited: also i have another problem with system monitor. it does not saves the columns size and also it does not shows the columsn which i had opened before the last exit. (on the process bar) [08:46] dx someone abe on 10 and 11 native linux [08:46] madurax86: could try the 209, backup the current one though [08:47] kazagistar: try deleting your cache - could help solving the firefox issue [08:47] may be they found that 210 is faulty [08:47] ActionParsnip: I have 62 tabs open up right now, and memory usage is ~200MB. In Chromium it gets to that with 15 tabs. [08:47] i'll try brb [08:47] kazagistar: the browser is one process so a bad tab will kill the browser, chromium uses a process for each tab so you can kill tabs if they get stuck [08:48] jg_1979: As far as I know, that is the normal behaviour/default view [08:48] !ActionParsnip [08:48] sosaited: I put text into the google search, hit enter, and nothing happens, until I click it again a second time, and hit enter again [08:48] xuekan, /msg ubottu [08:48] sosaited: i guess if you would like to compare firefox with chrome/ium wait for ff4 ;) [08:48] kazagistar: doesn't get 100% in the acid3 test [08:48] bazhang:ok. === ty is now known as Guest49093 [08:48] dx someone abe on 10 and 11 native linux [08:49] sosaited: I've never had any joy with firefox. Imho its all hype [08:49] yeah, I misspoke my question, I did not mean a troll, I have an actual problem [08:50] sosaited: also we use chromium in. Lubuntu because it doesntchew ram [08:50] kazagistar: Try adding Google SSL search addon to see if that is any better. Or backup your profile, and reinstall [08:50] MEN [08:50] palint240, ask a question that is clear please [08:50] be ready for when dx 10 and 11 in linux [08:50] sosaited: sorry what do you mean with default view ? i change the view of columns . and after re-open gnome-system-monitor i can not see these columns :( this is not normal. i had not the same problem with other versions on ubuntu :( [08:50] sosaited: i'll try backup and reinstall, but it is also a problem with any link I click on [08:51] palint240, support here; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:51] kazagistar: should have a backup anyway, if your data is important [08:51] I have a whooole bunch of epub files I'd like to extract ... does anybody know how I would, say, extract numerous separate epub files in a dir? [08:52] ActionParsnip: I personally have had no problems related to memory at least with Ff3+. And I have usually a crap load of site opened all the time [08:52] What solution should I use to allow multiple people to remotely login to an Ubuntu machine and use its programs, like in Window$ 7 via Remote Desktop after telling the OS to permit that ? [08:53] replicasex: Have you tried using 7-Zip or WinRAR on one of the packs to see if it's supported ? [08:53] can anyone recommend a front end or web gui for kvm [08:54] jg_1979: Do you always run it via terminal?. Did you tried running from the System > Administration > System Monitor if that saves it?. And btw when you exit it (when run from terminal), do you get some further text/warning? [08:54] rautamiekka, winrar? Really? the default archive package manager seems to do fine I just want to do it all en masse [08:55] sosaited: no i always run from menus. but i just try to open it from terminal because i may see the erorrs from outputs ... [08:55] pretender2010, !kvm [08:55] there is a URL in that link that mentions one, pretender2010 [08:55] replicasex: Well, any decompressor. Just used these two as likely ones supporting it. [08:55] where's the link [08:55] !kvm [08:55] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [08:55] that url :) [08:55] thanks [08:56] When I try to install 'Word of the day' applet for GNOME, I get a command "CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnomewotdapplet' cvs co gnomewotdapplet " from http://gnomewotdapplet.sourceforge.net/releases.php . To install it, do we need to type the command in terminal? [08:57] When I type it, it returns an error, that connection is refused. [08:57] So, where can I find a similar applet? [09:00] rocket16: I think you need CVS Client first. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=390190 [09:00] <_Beast> having trouble bypassing smb authentication in workgroups ? [09:01] rautamiekka, i was hoping someone would answer your question.. im interested too [09:02] jg_1979: The only other solution I can think of that might work for you is to "Remove Completely" gnome-system-monitor from synaptic, and then install it again. [09:02] rautamiekka: I already have it installed. But thanks. [09:03] sosaited: is it dangerous to do that ? im think in g to re-install it ? [09:03] nobody is responding in either #nvidia & #xorg .. I was wondering if any of you here may know what to do with xorg.conf right away... Here's the file. http://pastebin.com/vsX36qMk [09:04] fyi, EDID is not support, only CRT monitor [09:04] jg_1979: Oh no wait wait [09:04] jg_1979: I just checked, it removes "ubuntu-desktop" with it. Which is a complete disaster. [09:04] rocket16: I mean like a GUI version for easier/faster use. [09:05] What solution should I use to allow multiple people to remotely login to an Ubuntu machine and use its programs, like in Window$ 7 via Remote Desktop after telling the OS to permit that ? [09:05] jg_1979: At least if you restart your computer after that, before installing it back first. [09:05] can you tell me what is wrong with this config? otherwise i'd be appreciated if this file is edited manually. [09:05] sosaited: but [09:05] sosaited: when you re-imnstall it doen not removes... [09:05] jg_1979: so a reinstall is better, rather than complete removal (which removes the config filkes [09:06] sosaited: ah so yes. if it is not removes the config files i will tryit... [09:06] jg_1979: Reinstall is, uninstall, and then install again. Won't affect ubuntu-desktop [09:07] rautamiekka: x11 forwarding or vnc are probably easiest but if its across the internet it will be slow for either of them. You could use simple ssh if theyre happy with cli [09:07] sosaited: i just need to ask something else. i use gnome. but i don't use the panels. so i can not use also features like alt+f2 . is there any point for me to use gnome ? [09:08] jg_1979: For future reference, never uninstall anything that says it HAS to remove ""ubuntu-desktop" too. OR if you do want to take the risk, don't restart your computer BEFORe you install "ubuntu-desktop" back again. I once did it, and I couldn't boot into my system. Had to recover by shrooting [09:08] MrsB: It must be similar to Remote Desktop. It will be used across Net but that's not problem. [09:08] MrsB, have you tried teamviewer [09:09] sosaited: im not going to try to re-install system monitor... [09:09] jg_1979: gnome is not JUST about the panels and shortcuts. A lot other programs are dependent/made for gnome. [09:09] sosaited: so it is better for me to use fluxbox ... [09:10] rautamiekka: if some of them are going to be windows or mac users then its probably best to stick with vnc, if theyre linux users then x11forwarding or vnc. There is a better one called nx (freenx) but I have never used it so can't report how much better/more difficult it is. [09:10] Guest49093: nope, what is it? [09:10] jg_1979: No don't be that cautious. Reinstall will be fine. I did it first on my system just now to confirm [09:11] MrsB: Think most users, like me, would be Win users. I'll see about the NX. Ty, will report back later. [09:11] MrsB, works like vnc??? google it [09:11] sosaited: no i will not try it. im waiting for rematsreys to backup my system. after that i can try to re-istall. [09:11] sosaited: remastersys new version... [09:12] jg_1979: Fluxbox is just a Window Manager. Gnome is a desktop environment [09:12] sosaited: anyway i did not had understand the differences desktop manager and window manager yet [09:12] rautamiekka: you could also use virtual machines, using virtualbox you can enable vrdp whch uses the rdp protocol underneath the os. Its an option. [09:13] MrsB: How would that differ from using NX for multi-user concurrent sessions ? [09:14] And are you talking about installing Win or Linux into VirtualBox ? === APERSON is now known as aperson [09:15] rautamiekka: it would probably use more resources on the host. The vrdp is part of virtualbox so you can install any OS on top of it. You can manage the VM's remotely, starting, stopping etc [09:16] rautamiekka: Im not sure how secure it would be to open it to the internet is the only thing, I would think you could set a login tho. I'll let you research it ;) [09:16] jg_1979: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager [09:16] ) sosaited: ok thank you for your interest... [09:16] why you kick me [09:17] cant you discus normally [09:17] answer! [09:17] MrsB: Uh, what are you trying to say by the use of VirtualBox on the Ubuntu host ? [09:17] answer!

[09:24] so many questions i dont even know where to start [09:24] i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP.. i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible [09:24] Rizzo_: Make a list of them and ask in the order you have them in the list. [09:25] Rizzo_: No joke, that helps you keep your mind together if you really have much to ask. [09:25] hi all [09:26] I am tring to install 10.10 x86 on my netbook. But parted_server crashes and I can't go on. Someone knopw a solution ? [09:26] how can i detect whether mysql is installed on ubuntu [09:26] any idea? [09:26] hi, with 10.10 does there exist a list of programs that integrate into the Mail icon, eg. empathy, pidgin, lifrea [09:27] aLeSD, installing off a CD or some other way? [09:27] i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP.. i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible [09:27] any idea [09:27] Guest49093: No, specifically what you have asked for is not likely possible using different ISPs. Why can't you use dynamic DNS rather than a static ip? Why do you have two ISPs? [09:28] how can i detect whether mysql is installed on ubuntu [09:28] aytekin: do you mean mysql or mysqld? [09:28] mysql [09:28] Madpilot: do you know if with an usb hard-disk it works ? [09:28] you could try locate mysql [09:28] Jordan_U, for backup cos it has to be up and running at all times [09:28] which is probably the silly way [09:29] hi [09:29] can't you check your ubuntu software center? [09:29] aLeSD, it should, I haven't ever installed via USB key myself though. [09:29] Jordan_U, sometime the internet around here are pretty slow [09:30] Madpilot the problem is that I haven't external cd on my netbook [09:30] is there any kind of command line to detect if mysql is installed or not [09:30] Madpilot: is there anbother ways to install it by usb key ? [09:30] aytekin: can't you just type mysql in the terminal? [09:30] what happens there? === timothy is now known as a2z [09:31] i didnt bu i ll try [09:31] aLeSD, pretty common for netbooks, but I've only done CD installs myself. [09:31] oh my gosh [09:31] try it [09:31] ubottu, install | aLeSD [09:31] aLeSD: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [09:31] aLeSD, check some of the URLs the bot just gave us ^^ [09:31] aLeSD: unetbootin [09:31] is really nice ;) [09:32] oh awesome. [09:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu [09:32] <3 google instant, after searching for mail icon ubuntu [09:32] ok guys, see you soon [09:32] coline stop spamming me [09:32] bye [09:32] chid, mind the overuse of the Enter key, please [09:33] any ops can do something ? [09:33] it says " ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can`t connect to local server through [09:33] coline, is spamming me [09:33] Dice-Man, spamming you in PM? [09:33] Madpilot, yes [09:34] chid why u told me about unetbootin ? [09:34] oh I thought you wanted to install ubunutu without cd [09:34] I've installed all my OSes with flash drives [09:34] Im trying to install apache via apt-get on a machine which doesnt have internet access. Is it possible to create only a list of dependencies for this package on this machine and use this list on other machine which has internet access to download all dependencies automatically ? [09:34] dagon666: I believe it is, you can use apt-get download on the other machine [09:35] oh, wait the machine without internet access doesn't have a list of dependencies does it? [09:35] how long does it usually take to install 10.10, there [09:35] theres no status bar [09:35] chid: how should I prepare the package list in the first place ? [09:36] mauro125: when I installed it, it took forever, mainly because I was repartitioning my drive (and it took ~7min to get the parition table of my disk) [09:36] dagon666: I'm not sure, I've never done it before [09:36] I gave 5gig to swap, and the rest for / [09:36] chid: :D [09:37] and clicked on allow to download updates and all that [09:37] oh [09:37] that took forever too [09:37] haha [09:37] I had a 10kb/s connection [09:38] actually my connection goes to 1.5MB/s [09:38] lol [09:38] but the server it chose, the default, us.archives.ubuntu.com [09:38] is terribly slow for me [09:38] so that might be another issue, but too late now [09:38] i see [09:38] au.archive.ubuntu.com < was super fast [09:38] yeah, mauro125 it gave me like a 3hr estimated time to finish installing :O [09:39] there was no option to select server or did i somehow missed it [09:39] just the downloading process, anyway, silly store, just sit and wait [09:39] Yeah, I missed it too [09:39] I installed 10.10 recently, but i setup a crypt on my whole hard drive. Is it possible to stop using the crypt ? [09:39] DjAngo23: what program did you use to crypt it? truecrypt? [09:40] or the built in one [09:40] does ubuntu still have fglrx? [09:40] Oh, DjAngo23 do you mean encrypt your home directory? [09:40] yao_ziyuan: from apt-get it stilldoes [09:41] not sure how it works though [09:41] actually, scratch that. it probably doesn't [09:42] i guess i'll leave it overnight/morning [09:42] thanks [09:42] Either #xorg & #nvidia is not available, they're dead respond. If someone here know how to edit the resolution. Please make a change here, http://pastebin.com/vsX36qMk [09:43] OK,I'l bite: how the fsck do you disable "Place Windows" in Maverick? Setting COMPIZ_PLUGINS="" in either of the places mentioned on the forums has no effect whatsoever [09:43] where do I change the settings for the on screen notifications, I feel they are on too quick. Thanks [09:44] * LSD|Ninja stabs Amaranth in the eye with a spork [09:45] Linuxsapien: I was wondering the same thing, I actually hate the fact that the notification can't be closed [09:45] chid shame.. it should be easy, but seems not [09:45] yeah I agree [09:45] im sure there is a preferences tool for it [09:45] but cant find [09:45] 1400 [09:46] there's a program called notification-preferences or something, but that doesn't change anything, it seems like it's a custom job [09:46] aaah [09:46] also, I'm not sure if there's anything like this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD [09:46] I mean, about that on this page === nk__ is now known as nkour [09:47] chid, well when i start the computer up, i see the logo and i have to type a passphrase [09:47] maybe can find something onthe software center [09:47] so it's truecrypt i think [09:47] It's not only my home dir [09:48] take a look at this Linuxsapien http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-easy-way-to-customize-notify.html [09:48] you can change the timeout [09:48] thanks you chid :) [09:48] hey everyone, the compiz config settings manager shows 9 available mouse buttons I can select for the mouse actions for the different effects. But how do I know which button is which? [09:48] DjAngo23: I'm not sure if there's a simple way (off the top of my head) to remove the encryption, but the 'obvious' way is to make a backup and repartition the home drive [09:49] actually, that assumes that your home drive is a different partition [09:49] sorry, I've never partition encryption on linux, but you'll probably need to somehow find out how your encryption is configured [09:50] oh Linuxsapien, the tutorial uses notify-send [09:50] and you have to insteall the libnotify-bin package [09:50] install*, yeah, I just installed that a few hours ago, to get irssi-libnotify working :D === Ayrton` is now known as Ayrton [09:51] is there any way to see if pressing a mouse button is registered by compiz/xorg/what ever and how that button is called? [09:51] oh, Linuxsapien if you actually reached the bottom of the blog post there's a link to this, a gui for the configuration http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/new-notifyosdconfiguration-version-gui.html [09:51] chid does it do what we want :) [09:51] ahh ok :) [09:51] thats the one!! Ive seen it, I musta lost it haha [09:52] hehe, :D [09:55] I changed the configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf & realised it wasn't paid any attention to it.. Is there another config somewhere need to change? [09:58] views [09:58] views? [09:58] what up === Ayrton` is now known as Ayrton [09:59] Ok, I figured out that with xev I can see which mouse buttons are pressed. It turns out that I have buttons 1-5,8,9,10 and 13. So buttons 6,7,11 and 12 aren't present. But compiz only shows Buttons 1-9. And there also buttons 6 and 7 seem to not be present. Any clues how I can make compiz add buttons 10 and 13? === robin is now known as Guest3623 [09:59] hi. can i install the netbook version on a pentium m ? or it has to be an atom to install ? [10:00] Yancho: I believe you can install it on a pentium m [10:01] will it be better performance then normal ubuntu ? === Ayrton is now known as Ayrton` === sosaited is now known as Asad-Ahmad === Ayrton` is now known as Ayrton [10:05] Yancho: just make sure that you ahve atleast a decent graphics card (even if it's an integrated one), otherwise Gnome will not start properly (you'll get a blank screen)!!!

[10:30] Ginbuntu, try Epiphany, it's "Firefox done right" in some ways. [10:30] I need to connect to several databases (postgresql and sqlite), for the moment I use pgadmin and sqliteman, and gave a try to navicat (closed source, through wine...) and no one seems what I need. Is there a way to have mergeant in ubuntu, I can't find it in repositories? [10:30] Unity is basedon gnome-shell? [10:30] uni4dfx: the patches get applied when you build the package (they're in the debian directory) [10:31] jrib are you sure? even when i do make-kpkg for the kernel?

[10:35] no--name why would you do that [10:35] uni4dfx: it tells you how to build the kernel, presumably warning you if you need to do any extra steps to apply patches [10:35] ./firefox [10:35] no--name, it is already installed [10:35] When I run the .deb files it says wrong architecture i386 [10:35] using Ubuntu Netbook love the new desktop design is it available for desktop ? [10:36] uni4dfx: so I can use 32-bit flash [10:36] ExtremeDevilz: you can just install the netbook edition on desktop [10:36] no--name that's silly, install the 64bit flash instead [10:36] ExtremeDevilz: how do I open it? [10:36] uni4dfx: but it sucks though :P [10:36] Krishnandu: you would make a launcher icon that starts the terminal as "gnome-terminal -e ", for example. [10:36] no--name not really [10:37] hello how can I remove a usb whit mode secure plz? [10:37] uni4dfx: It crashes when you are doing stuff in other tabs, it doesn't respond to mouse clicks if you enable compiz.

[10:43] (that is exactly what getchar() does?) [10:43] Krishnandu: sounds like you need it to block waiting for input [10:43] ok, so if you want that, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-pause-command.html [10:44] so you can create a shell script with ./a.out; read -p "presss any key" [10:44] ectospasm, Ya that did the job :) [10:44] bonjour [10:44] chid, actually I've C program, and I'd only give the client a.out file not the source code [10:45] Ok, so are you looking for C help or bash help? [10:45] chid, bash help actually :P [10:45] Krishnandu: you might wanna rename it :P [10:45] ok [10:45] for a second there I thought you were coding for windows [10:45] kazagistar, of course I'd do that [10:45] get the ubuntu book for free [10:45] how can i get my macbook right-click to work on 10.10?

I'm prolly in error of course. [10:47] ewook: it worked fine before the upgrade [10:47] Stavros: does xev react when you right-click? [10:47] ectospasm: what's xev?

[11:38] Krishnandu, gtk+ , qt, wxwidget.... etc [11:38] Krishnandu, in world of open source [11:39] Krishnandu, and for the language, C, C++, python, ruby, perl, java ..... many [11:39] only in BSD port colleciton of application is more than 25 000 [11:39] icarus-c, gtk+ for GNOME, qt for KDE right?? [11:39] just imagine that u cant modify src of all those stuff and play with it [11:39] Krishnandu, not exactly. but GNOME uses gtk+, and KDE uses Qt [11:40] Krishnandu, but doesn't mean that you can't build/use Qt apps on GNOME or Gtk+ apps on KDE [11:40] okies...looks like thrilling...so what should I choose?? Anyone of them?? [11:40] I'd like to use C [11:40] which is better for n00b?? qt ot gtk+?? [11:41] Hello folks. I have a question. I set up samba server on xubuntu and added a printer to share. Sadly, I have to type "sudo service smbd restart" each time I log in. Can I automate it somehow? If it was for me I wouldn't see a problem, but this is pc in a company I work for and they don't really like non-automated stuff. [11:41] Krishnandu, Gtk+ is written in C [11:41] Krishnandu: Qt, it is far better documented and object oriented [11:41] \join#1111 [11:41] Krishnandu, Qt written in C++ and it doesn't officially support C [11:42] icarus-c, hmm....can't decide which one to use [11:42] gtk+ is object oriented too :( [11:42] Krishnandu, coin flips [11:42] Krishnandu, or think about the license [11:43] icarus-c, No idea about license...I'm starting this 1st time....u suggest :P [11:43] I'm comfortable in both C, C++ and Java...but don't know ruby, perl, but I learnt Python from online documentation [11:43] LGPL for gtk+ , Qt dual licensed - commercial & LGPL for open source [11:44] Krishnandu, that means if you want to use Qt to write closed source software, you have to buy a license from nokia [11:44] and i've heard it is expensive [11:44] correct me if i'm wrong [11:44] you mean if I don't provide the source code if I use qt, i need to buy the license?? [11:45] Krishnandu, iirc yes [11:45] i am getting this error when i m trying to run vmware (vmware-modconfig:17381): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [11:45] Krishnandu, i'm not sure. check out qt licensing doc [11:45] i also tried recomplie vmware modules [11:45] icarus-c, ok, so which is easier?? qt or gtk+?? Or wxwidgets?? [11:45] Krishnandu, http://qt.nokia.com/products/licensing/ [11:46] you can use the lgpl version for commercial products too [11:46] hmm [11:46] they changed from gpl to lgpl when nokia overtook trolltech [11:46] Krishnandu, i'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that. and i haven't use wxwidget at all. but from my experience, both are good. but if you do C, gtk+ is probably the best option [11:46] i am debating to install mint 10 or ubuntu maveric [11:46] commercial version is only for support [11:47] the only reason I knew of to install mint was the nonfree candy [11:47] you have the option to do so in Ubuntu 10.10 now [11:47] Its-me-again, simple, you ask here you install ubuntu, you ask in #linuxmint, you install mint [11:47] ok.....so the thing I should look at docs and support?? qt or gtk+?? Which has better docs to learn for a complete n00b knowing C, C++, Java etc. and irc and other support if I stuck?? [11:48] icarus-c, magentar ^^ [11:48] between, i think i've heard that mint is going debian instead [11:48] QT works better for crossplatform apps and has a richer feature set [11:48] gtk+ is more straight forward perhaps, simpler, fits best in GNOME [11:48] Krishnandu, both are equally fine in my opinion. but some say Qt is better documented, and sweeter for cross-platform dev [11:49] okz...then let's start with qt... [11:49] Does anyone have any idea why Ubuntu 10.04 freezes on a Compaq Evo N1015V [11:49] Krishnandu, but as i say.... they are almost equally good [11:49] any programs, theholder or is it just freezing? [11:49] theholder: could be a memory problem [11:50] it freezes to a blank screen with a flashing caps lock key [11:50] theholder: definitely a memory or memory controller problem. Try memtest86+ or mprime [11:50] Maximum number of clients reached [11:50] oh, I have a question about suspend and hibernate, are there any simple fixes/ways to troubleshoot the issue, it doesn't return back to the desktop on hibernate and suspend, just a black screen [11:50] (chromium-browser:10549): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 [11:51] Thankis chid [11:51] I'm having this issue when I try to open any app [11:51] Krishnandu, oh betwee. Qt convention is more like Java, and Gtk+ is more unix-style [11:51] icarus-c: ok mint it is then [11:51] icarus-c, Means?? [11:51] Krishnandu, i mean coding style/convention. if it matters [11:51] icarus-c, Ohh... [11:51] chid: where do i run these from bash? [11:51] what are you running? [11:52] I have know idea for it reach maximum clients [11:52] I was listing another problem [11:52] that I haven't solved [11:52] ? [11:52] theholder: memtest86+ is a boot utility that tests RAM. You'll find it on the LiveCD [11:53] ok [11:53] thanks [11:53] theholder: mprime is a utility which you can use to stress test your system [11:53] theholder: http://www.mersenne.org/ [11:53] theholder: use that if memtest doesn't return any errors [11:54] theholder: be sure you let memtest run for at least one full pass; all errors will be listed in red, and shouldn't clear after a full pass is completed [11:54] ...although if you get enough errors it will scroll off the screen, theholder [11:54] ectospasm: anything about hibernation/suspend resuming? [11:55] chid: sorry, I usually don't use those features. [11:55] alright [11:55] chid: I've always heard those features are problematic, though they've gotten much better [11:55] it wasn't problematic for me in the past [11:55] but with 10.10 it broke [11:55] chid: it's my understanding that the underlying system must be well represented by Linux drivers [11:55] chid, what about them [11:56] icarus-c: well I get a black screen when I resume [11:56] chid, what video driver [11:56] icarus-c: how do I find out [11:57] Thanks for all your help chid and ectospasm [11:57] Hi guys [11:57] how to reload grub?

[11:58] gccster: [11:58] yes [11:58] how? [11:58] ubuntu, and WIndows overwritten the boot loader. and you want to install grub over it again right [11:58] icarus-c, Can I design the interface like I do in VS in both qt and gtk+?? [11:59] system-> administrator -> startupdiskcreator [11:59] Krishnandu, yea [11:59] sorry icarus-c still reading the log file [11:59] Okies [11:59] i'm going to surf in my windows vm for while, see what diseases i get [11:59] Krishnandu, Glade for gtk+ and Qt Designer [11:59] Hi, I see that what ever I type on my ubuntu system is getting logged in .bash_history [11:59] how to stop that [12:00] change a setting in .bashrc [12:00] icarus-c, Okies...thanks...I'll check them both [12:00] ubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [12:00] I forget what it is [12:00] Even if I write an email it gets logged in .bash_history [12:01] you can just set the size to 0 [12:01] don't know what the param is, maybe MAX_SIZE or something [12:01] chid, theres no such option [12:01] While installing "BURG" i'm getting this screen... http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2328/screenshotr.jpg what should I do? [12:01] why do you send emails from bash [12:01] hariom add a "space" before the first command you write [12:02] export HISTSIZE=0 [12:02] add that to your .bashrc [12:02] sraue: I didn't get what you mean [12:02] uh icarus-c , I'm using [ 15.519] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, [12:03] Bruce_Wayne, using burg from where? repos? [12:03] hariom, http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/SECURITY_Bash_History_Functions [12:03] it's not an option [12:03] it's a program [12:03] hariom, that may be of use to you, but sraue is correct, you can prepend a space to your command and it will skip the shell history [12:03] c0nv1ct: I think he wants to disable all of them [12:03] so histsize is the easiest way [12:04] bazhang: Yes, from repos. [12:04] hariom, you may export HISTFILE=0 or HISTFILE=/dev/null in bashrc . see man bash [12:04] Bruce_Wayne, there is no 'burg' in the repos [12:04] I added ppa [12:04] gccster: It's in System->Administration->StartUp Disk Creator [12:04] maybe you have to find it in the repos and instlal it first [12:04] Bruce_Wayne, perhaps you mean an unsupported 3rd party PPA [12:05] Bruce_Wayne, in which case, you should contact the PPA maintainer as that has nothing to do with Ubuntu [12:05] icarus-c, chid, c0nv1ct: ok. Looking at that. But isn't it possible that commands I type on command line only gets logged. Not the other text I write in text files etc. [12:05] bazhang: I tried to follow this... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/get-animated-themed-icon-only-grub-menu-using-burg-now-simple-to-use/ [12:06] hariom, don't know what you are saying. but by default bash log last 500 lines you entered to bash prompt to ~/.bash_history === mue_ is now known as mue [12:07] ai [12:07] a [12:08] icarus-c: currently even it logs the text i type in my email.

[12:08] echo "message" | sendmail myfriend@email ? [12:08] I'd say D: [12:09] hariom, why do you think bash logs those ? [12:09] chid: nope. Yahoo email text I see on my command line when I press up arrow. [12:09] yeah [12:09] but that's not logged.. [12:09] yea logged. I can see that in cat ~/.bash_history [12:10] * icarus-c is super thirsty [12:10] drink then [12:10] anyway, goodnight. [12:10] This is very strange as I never saw this before in my other linux machines [12:13] someone would know this issue in Knetworkmanager: "network disabled" after suspend 2 disk. reason is /var/lib/Networkmanager/NetworkManager.state... set NetworkingEnabled=true.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.

[13:21] ubuntu: has this system ever worked? [13:21] yeah [13:21] yes [13:21] if the xfs fix commands said ok.. try remounting the partition. [13:21] ubuntu: what is your issue [13:22] yeah i mounted the partition [13:22] In need to disable Immediate-Configure in apt.conf but unable to find where is apt.conf? [13:22] ubuntu: so look on the partition? see if your files are in fact there? see if theres a /boot/ directory on the partition also. [13:22] Getting errors while apt-get and also a message to see Immediate-Configure. man page says to try with disabling this option [13:22] hariom: find / -name "apt.conf" [13:22] hariom: configs are in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ [13:22] In which file to disapble this [13:23] yeah everything is fine [13:23] I don't have any apt.conf in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d [13:23] ubuntu: so if you can now mount it.. it might boot properly. have you tried rebooting since youve done the 'fix' ? [13:23] hariom: just create a new file and add your option, if none of the existing files have the option already set [13:23] no [13:24] llutz: what is the format? [13:25] hariom: read "man apt.conf" [13:25] ok [13:26] Hi willis this is what i did http://pastebin.com/3YJFQ10N [13:26] do you think it will work now? [13:27] llutz: once added into apt.conf how to activate this settings? [13:28] I still get error while apt-get and it says to look for Immediate-Configure in man 5 apt.conf [13:28] In man page it says to disable it which I did by Get{Immediate-Configure "false"} [13:28] hey guys I need help. this is my pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533452/ [13:29] hariom: they'll be read when apt runs [13:29] I wish someone would fix my bug :( [13:30] gamerpro2000: tell me more mabout [13:30] I'm using Audacious, by mistake I removed the upper menu (with File, View, et cetera) and I can't get it back ! I even tried reinstalling but to no avail. [13:30] petan: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/674112 [13:30] llutz: but I still get error [13:30] hariom: isn't it " APT::Immediate-Confifure "false" " [13:30] petan: There is extensive notes in there [13:31] Configure* [13:31] gamerpro2000: try proprietary driver [13:31] Already did [13:31] Had more problems [13:31] Screens would randomly dire upon logout [13:31] *die [13:31] gamerpro2000: seame problems? [13:31] Not the same [13:31] just more problems [13:31] gamerpro2000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:32] Had more problems with the proprietary driver than I did with the radeon driver [13:32] gamerpro2000: all machines have same gc [13:32] Correct [13:32] I have 50 of them [13:33] or more. I lose count. [13:33] I didn't build them. The previous network administrator built these machines. I simply am taking over in day-to-day operations [13:34] gamerpro2000: does it die after login [13:34] petan: with which driver? [13:34] gamerpro2000: you said it happens with both of them [13:34] gamerpro2000: I mean if it die only after you login to session [13:34] Startup fails with the radeon driver causing the segmentation fault. [13:35] Like, powering on and initializing the displays. However, the fglrx driver, machines would go to log out and the screen would go black. The screen would stay powered, but it wouldn't log out gracefully, forcing us to reboot the entire machine. [13:36] Among other weird bugs, like freezing the whole machine upon logout and giving a "SOFT_LOCKUP" error [13:36] gamerpro2000: you have configuration for fglrx but you load radeon [13:36] petan: What do you mean I have configuration for fglrx? [13:36] Where are you seeing this? [13:36] gamepro2000: that is proprietary driver, in xorg.conf [13:37] gamepro2000: config is generated by autoconfig [13:37] gamepro2000: I would purge fglrx and radeon out and make new installation of driver [13:37] petan: I load "radeon" and "glx" [13:37] llutz: I have tried this: $sudo apt-get -o APT::Get::Immediate-Configure="false" dist-upgrade [13:37] Where are you seeing a propreitary driver being loaded? Can you give me a line? [13:37] For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [13:38] but I still get errors. No effect observed. [13:38] gamepro2000: I see, but you have previously fglrx installed, they should not be installed both they conflict [13:38] hariom: try -o APT::Immediate-Configure="false" [13:38] petan: They are not. I used the uninstall script included with the driver package to remove it. Where are you seeing this? I need a line on the pastebin's. [13:38] anybody know how to take off the extra stuff in the grub. i have ubuntu, and mint on here [13:38] gamerpro2000: not loaded but xorg.conf was generated by ait-config [13:38] hariom: afaik "Immediate-Configure" is an own group like GET [13:39] Bonjjour [13:39] petan: Those are just identifiers. I just left them saying "aticonfig-0 whatever" [13:39] llutz: Still no effect observed and get same error [13:39] petan: They don't have any bearing on the drivers [13:39] gamerpro2000: that mean you previously installed fglrx then this driver keep a lot of other binaries even if you switch it to radeon [13:40] Dr_Willis, I got it! I made a small bash script, has an if statement checking the output of xrandr, if it says that the monitor is conencted then it runs xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary [13:40] hariom: no idea then, sorry [13:40] grub help... [13:40] llutz: Actually by mistake I deleted /var/lib/dpkg directory [13:40] put the same thing in /etc/gdm/Init/Default as well [13:40] and from then onwards getting this error. I have created dpkg/ status and updates/ [13:41] but getting same error [13:41] i want to delete the safemode stuff in my grub [13:41] petan: I did previously have fglrx installed, but as I said I used the uninstall script included with the .deb that ATI provided to remove all traces of it. Then, to be sure, I ran sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx [13:41] thing is, with it just in the /etc/gdm script it should stay that way, unless something changes it... but upon login it would go back wrong again... [13:41] which didn't do anything, but I wanted to be sure nothing was left [13:41] народ [13:41] bastardchild1982, GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" in your /etc/default/grub [13:41] ой, тут все на басурманском.. [13:41] hi, is it bad that fdisk -l show the end of another partition == start of another? [13:41] bastardchild1982, then update-grub2 [13:41] aim__ switch to russian [13:41] tried putting it in a ~/.xprofile, and it would run the code (I checked by having it touch a file) but something would set it back wrong again afterwards [13:42] gamepro2000: what happen if you install fglrx and try to perform sudo aticonfig --initial [13:42] i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? [13:42] slow down where do i find that stuff [13:42] /dev/sda1 * 1 6079 48827392 83 Linux [13:42] /dev/sda2 6079 12158 48828416 83 Linux [13:42] had to make the bash script and set it in startup applications to get it to be reapplied again AFTER whatever is changing it back [13:42] i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? [13:42] /dev/sda1 * 1 6079 48827392 83 Linux [13:42] bastardchild1982, i said where, /etc/default/grub [13:42] /dev/sda2 6079 12158 48828416 83 Linux [13:42] petan: one moment. It shouldn't do anything [13:42] 6079 == 6079, is that bad? [13:42] petan: aticonfig: command not found [13:43] bastardchild1982, it is a text file, open it as root with your favorite editor, add the line i mentioned to it and run `sudo update-grub2` [13:43] gamerpro2000: hm, what if you install it and try it then, is it same segmentation fault [13:44] anyone know what would be overriding my ~/.xprofile? [13:44] (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 285 [13:44] i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? [13:44] gamerpro2000: that is last [13:44] gamerpro2000: action done then it crashes [13:45] edz: wasn't there a dialog asking you to confirm you want to stick with it? [13:45] ok i found it. now what do i do again [13:45] i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? [13:45] i have a question im a newbie at this but under system>preferences>appearance>visual effects i want to choose normal and it works but i have to redo it everytime ??? [13:45] yes [13:46] sorry for posting again and again didnt think it was going through [13:46] petan: The segmentation fault started occurring when I switched to the radeon driver. Once I removed the fglrx driver, I switched the line for loading fglrx to loading radeon. Then I made a few changes to kdmrc and such to get the multiseat working and that's when startup began having issues. [13:46] and it worked [13:46] but [13:46] it resets to none automatically [13:46] ? [13:46] bastardchild1982, GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" <- add that as a new line at the end [13:46] gamerpro2000: can you undo the changes to kdmrc [13:46] no idea then. [13:46] petan: I already tried it. No avail. [13:47] ok thank you [13:47] gamerpro2000: switch to fglrx [13:47] gamerpro2000: then do [13:47] also, which is more stablme with ubuntu 10.10, ATI graphics or Nvidia? [13:47] gamerpro2000: sudo aticonfig --initial [13:47] edz: nvidia [13:47] Hi, i'm looking for some support with ubuntu, is there the right place ? [13:47] it won't let me type in there [13:47] gamerpro2000: it will generate xorg.conf [13:47] What can I do, to make my ubuntu also boot when I set AHCI mode (for my sata drive in the bios). Because it freezes during startup now. Only works in IDE mode. [13:47] nvidia is a bit buggy here.. but i doubt that ati is better. [13:48] anoyone any ideas? [13:48] or experiencing same problems? [13:48] ok gamerpro thanks i have ATI which explains the lag in VLC i suppose and playback in general how can i be sure i have the latest drivers or is there a way i can know which exact settings to change in ATI catalyst? [13:48] edz: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5048310 [13:48] may that thread useful? using gconftool-2 [13:49] bastardchild1982, you must be doing something wrong then. open a terminal and type `sudoedit /etc/default/grub` and edit the file that way [13:49] edz: er, n/m [13:49] i just installed this a sec ago.

But I'm talking about something in the direction of an indexer or something, possibly with a nice searching gui.

[15:55] i need to fully automate and cant handle any dialogs in post-inst (like they show when you upgrade sshd). i'd simply assume yes everywhere [15:55] zani: the Main-Class manifest attribute is what defines which part of the jar to run. it's inside the jar. if it fails, it means that the jar is not runnable or is not configured properly [15:56] Magnum: the volume notifier works and is at full. is that the same thing as "pulseaudio volume control"? [15:56] it goes up and down when i use fn+volume [15:57] also, everything under "Sound Preferences" is cranked [15:57] hi I was wondering if someone could help me out, If I can type in terminal "sisctrl" to run a program I have installed how can i find where this "sisctrl" command is going to ? i need to find its location so i can do a "sudo chmod777" but i cant find its location >.< [15:57] apparently it should be in /usr.bin/sisctrl but it isnt [15:58] Aer: "which sisctrl" [15:58] Aer:type "which sisctrl" [15:58] :) [15:58] samw, in therminal type alsamixer , make sure are Ms in the vctrl boxes and use the arrow keys to navigate and turn up the vol ctrls that apply to your setup [15:58] err terminal samw [16:01] BluesKaj: all is/was up [16:01] samw, use the M key to unmute any ctrls with a M , M=mute [16:01] any ideas please ? :) [16:01] Aer:type "which sisctrl" [16:01] Aer, type 'which sisctrl' [16:01] ok [16:01] ahh nice :D thanks guys [16:01] BluesKaj: when i press "M" they toggle from "MM" to "00" at the bottom.. they were "00" to start with.. i think that's unmuted, right? [16:01] is there an irc channel for apt or dpkg where i could ask my question? :() [16:01] /me wonders if he's muted [16:01] samw, yes , 0 is unmuted [16:01] err 00 [16:02] <_maddy> I bought ATI 6870 graphics card, but it doesn't work with fglrx, so I had to disable it, but now I am stuck with low resolution...how to fix? [16:02] * BluesKaj 's KB needs new batteries [16:02] It needs a wire. ;) [16:03] * BluesKaj installs new AAs [16:03] BluesKaj: and "MM" means.. not muted?

Doesnt it boot, if so whats the grub error ? [16:08] Are 96.xxx drivers gone for good? [16:08] for Nvidia [16:08] I have a router/samba-box with 3 NIC's (eth0=Internet, eth1=Local/Private and eth2=Local/Public... I'm trying to prohibit the network on eth2 reaching the box with samba so I added " interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.1/24 " and " bind interfaces only = yes " to the smb.conf file, but now no machines can see the sambashares... Anyone got a clue? [16:08] BluesKaj: jesus.. there's a bot entry about this? how the hell did i miss it :( I'll check it out.. thanks [16:09] hi, i have a new pc with amd phenom and ati video, any knows issues with 10.10? [16:09] guillaume_: Arent the new ones better ? [16:09] new ati drivers are good I think [16:09] Phenos shouldn't be a problem [16:09] guillaume_, yes , most likely replaced with a newer driver , depending your card of course [16:09] guillaume_, thanks [16:10] Nps [16:10] i will tell you later, get it in 2 hours! [16:10] bbl I will check it out what's the error message [16:10] You won't have trouble [16:10] In the really worse case you'll have rare bugs but that's it [16:11] With the same setup, is it a problem to use the same netmask on two fhysical different networks? [16:11] hello can somebody help me quickly with a litle problem with grub please ? [16:11] guillaume_, which nvidia card on which ubuntu version ? [16:13] petan: Are you on? [16:13] samw: Ah! Its one of those issues probably. You need to probe the alsa module with modulename=acer/fujitsu or something. I did that once before. Edited /etc/modprobe.conf but that could have been moved to somewhere like /etc/modprobe.d (I wish they stop changing all the paths so often as they do nowdays) [16:13] A_New_Server: hm [16:13] Kaj, I opened a private room [16:13] petan: You were the one helping me before, right? [16:13] << [16:13] A_New_Server: it was me [16:14] Hi people [16:14] samw: But its also facinating that playing music kills the driver. Thats a big bug. [16:14] how do I upgrade from Hardy without erasing everything ? [16:14] Can someone with samba-skills please help me with this issue? = I have a router/samba-box with 3 NIC's (eth0=Internet, eth1/192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 = Local/Private network and eth2/192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0=Local/Public network. I'm trying to prohibit the network on eth2 reaching the box with samba so I added " interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.1/24 " and " bind interfaces only = yes " to the smb.conf file, but now no machines can see [16:14] the sambashares... Anyone got a clue? [16:14] petan: Wooh, alright so last I recall you asked what my graphics card was and I told you, where go we from there? [16:14] guillaume_, is that an onboard ? [16:14] A_New_Server: I suggested to reinstall and reconfigure fglrx, with aticonfig [16:14] NGEN [16:14] samw: lspci ... check what driver it is if you have the time.. [16:14] hello good morning all, pls I need someone who is good in english, I written an article, and I need help polishing it [16:14] tim167: just upgrade [16:14] Magnum: yeah. hopefully this will help. [16:14] petan: So I've lost everything on it? [16:14] I have just set up ubuntu, and I have noticed some ICRC ABRT errors on the sata subsystem [16:14] chouchou: Use ##english [16:14] my apologies in advance if I am off topic [16:14] A_New_Server: what you mean [16:15] petan, where is the upgrade tool ? [16:15] ok === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [16:15] samw: im sure it will. Wonder why i didnt think of that /grr :) [16:15] exit [16:15] !upgrade [16:15] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:15] petan: Doesn't re-installing remove what was on the drive? [16:15] A_New_Server: reinstall only driver [16:15] it seems to be related to an incompatibility between the controller chip (VT6420) and the Western Digital Green Power disk [16:15] I'm still looking for any info on process waiting channel status = poll-schedule_timeout [16:16] as is described in http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/02db8575ded42ab1 [16:16] A_New_Server: install fglrx and [16:16] A_New_Server: aticonfig --initial [16:16] NetScr1be: Explain... ? [16:16] what is the policy for kernel patches, because I would want the patch to be in 10.10 as soon as possible [16:17] !pm | guillaume_ [16:17] guillaume_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:17] I keep checking the boards (ubuntuforum mainly) and only find more people with the same issue [16:17] If ubuntu hangs when playing music, what might be the problem? [16:17] How do I do that? I can't get on the OS [16:17] petan: Or do I do it on my host? [16:17] A_New_Server: press ctrl + alt f2 after bot [16:18] Magnum, systems lags and hangs momentarily almost all processes have waiting channel status of poll_schedule_timeout [16:18] A_New_Server: or what you mean you can't get [16:18] ubuntuuser: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates and perhaps #ubuntu-kernel if you're serious about helping it get in. [16:18] lag = 10 - 30 seconds [16:18] ok thanks Pici [16:18] no errors [16:18] NetScr1be: Maverick ? [16:19] 9.04 but extensive forum post reading shows it on many versions and multiple falvours [16:19] petan: I'm at the dos (or command line or whatever it's called) and the GUI isn't loaded. How do I install it frmo there? [16:19] A_New_Server: apt-get install fglrx [16:19] don't know those cool version code names [16:19] hello [16:19] A_New_Server: works? [16:19] !9.04 | NetScr1be [16:19] NetScr1be: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [16:19] I'm running 9.04 on Asuss EEE 4g for 2 ywears [16:20] petan: It says this package has unmet dependencies and it just keeps going on and on and on, it's like 100 lines and is going now as I type. [16:20] petan: on and on listing things* [16:20] upgrading beyond 9.04 fails on lack of disk space (4GB SSD only) [16:20] A_New_Server: how many [16:20] NetScr1be: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [16:21] A_New_Server: just confirm and install [16:21] It doesn't say, also how do I confirm? It just went back to ~$ [16:21] NetScr1be: Or use the gui to upgrade it. [16:21] A_New_Server: you must do it as root [16:21] A_New_Server: confirm with Y [16:22] I did do it as root (it wouldn't let me do it without) [16:22] y: command not found [16:22] NetScr1be: For some reason the older dists get updates that arent meant for them so that things dont work as expected. [16:22] petan: doing apt-get -f install now, will that fix it? [16:22] I've just upgraded a 10.04 Ubuntu to 10.10. No errors were displayed. But now, right after the installation, after a reboot the Ubuntu freezes at the loading screen (some seconds after the file system check has finished). After pressing a lot of key combinations I finally found myself in a terminal. I could not find any error messages in the log files I checked. Any Ideas? [16:23] NetScr1be: The odd part about that is that there is no investigation at all and no remedy as far from what i can tell. [16:23] A_New_Server: what it say send me output [16:23] Ok that fixed it actually, downloading now [16:23] A_New_Server: in pm [16:23] LOL sudo apt-get update returns Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com karmic/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_partner_binary-i386_Packages) [16:23] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [16:23] How do you pm? [16:23] petan: I can't highlight it [16:23] petan: It's downloading now though (the previous command you told me) [16:23] Magnum I agreee about oddity [16:24] A_New_Server: ok [16:24] NetScr1be: You need to fix your sources list :) [16:24] whats the app name that i can use under windows to create usb live cd ? [16:24] there's a bug open for it for a long time w/ no assignee and no updates from devs [16:24] petan: Actually on second though I wouldn't be able to send it even if I could highlight, it's on vbox and I don't have the guest additions installed for this one [16:24] Lufti: Try a live CD of 10.10, if you can get into the desktop may want to do a fresh install of 10.10 [16:24] thought [16:25] NetScr1be: Yep, thats a shame i think. [16:25] Hey. If I wanted a minimal desktop for my ubuntu server install, what should i use? [16:25] hello [16:25] is this funny? http://fearsanity.us/palin/ [16:25] NetScr1be: What bug # specifically? [16:25] Chiggins: xfce [16:26] sysRPL: this is ubuntu support [16:26] A_New_Server: what it does [16:26] ‎hey guysm how do i check apt-get upgrade packages list? [16:26] Chiggins: But if you have a server thats not very old id still go for GNOME. Such a beauty. [16:26] ‎Magnum: using a server with gnome?! [16:26] petan: It seems sort of frozen, I see an underscore after 320kB/s 57s constantly blinking [16:27] petan: And it's stuck on 22% [16:27] that looks ok [16:27] Magnum - I'm just looking for something to test out my own Android build with the emulator... Only 1GB of RAM in this virtual machine [16:27] does it transfer sth [16:27] NetScr1be: Or do you have a link to the bug? [16:27] A_New_Server: wait for it to install it [16:27] Ddorda: Sure. I do that all around and its no problem securitywise. I get a good overlook of all my servers for its clearly woth it. [16:27] ‎Chiggins: did you check fluxbox? [16:27] petan: Ok [16:28] A_New_Server: you said you have ati but you work on virtualbox [16:28] Ddorda - whats fluxbox [16:28] ‎Magnum: well, it takes too much cpu IMHO [16:28] A_New_Server: so you should not use ati driver [16:28] ‎Chiggins: real light environment [16:28] A_New_Server: just some universal vga driver [16:29] Ddorda: Naah, a bit of ram, thats it. [16:29] ‎Magnum: well check fluxbox ;) [16:29] Ddorda: xorg only uses much cpu when logged in. [16:29] hang on trying to fix sources.list [16:29] Ddorda: xfce is also fast, but fluxbox can work. [16:30] hi. what is the best equivalent of windows movie maker on ubuntu? [16:30] ‎Magnum: fxce is way slower than fluxbox [16:30] Ddorda: I have tried most of the desktops and concluded that GNOME is where the X should be :) [16:30] Magnum / Ddorda - I just want something minimal. I'm going to just be SSHing in most of the time [16:31] Chiggins: use twm [16:31] Chiggins: I suggest xfce in that case. But i dont know the progress of fluxbox to be fair. [16:31] experiMENTAL, depends on what you want to do with video [16:32] Chiggins, there is also lxde [16:32] rusivi, magnum, http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBkQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2Fubuntu%2F%2Bsource%2Flinux%2F%2Bbug%2F488849&ei=eQPkTPLJFo2VOo_EzZIB&usg=AFQjCNF6o0_lhp9ZIQ5_MYxW4_rsyweXTw&sig2=cukC_IH6LMfj258NVZ4KCA [16:32] cr*p hang on [16:33] Hi everybody [16:33] Chiggins: Or you can just have xorg-libs, log in using: "ssh -X -l UserName HostName" and start the guis you need by using Xforwarding. [16:33] Magnum - How would that x forwarding stuff work? Never heard of that before [16:33] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/488849 [16:33] Chiggins: Just start the application :) [16:33] BluesKaj: i want to cut flv file and create avi. [16:34] Chiggins: You must log in with "ssh -X ..." [16:34] BluesKaj: and i want to add some subs. [16:34] Magnum - So that starts a GUI for me? Through the ssh connection? [16:35] Chiggins: Then you can start firefox or whatever on that computer but the graphics are forwarded to your local display. Very nice :) [16:35] Chiggins: Yes [16:35] Magnum - I'm using a Windows client, PuTTy... know if it'll work through that [16:35] Chiggins: Just remember performance will be impacted ;) I used to use it at uni all the time, bleeding useful I can tell you [16:36] Chiggins: The sshd server must be set to allow xforwarding but most are. If its not then edit sshd.conf and restart sshd [16:36] Chiggins: it works you just need a windows x-server like xming [16:36] Chiggins: if your client ssh is putty you need to enable it under settings -> Connection-> SSH-> Tunnels [16:36] Chiggins: Yep, it even works for windows clients. Sweet eh ? :) [16:37] magnum apt-get dist-upgrade is intended to upgrade kernel to latest version? [16:37] no [16:38] NetScr1be: Thats a distribution upgrade [16:38] experiMENTAL, try Kino or Cinelerra [16:38] DougEdgy - What do I need to enable exactly [16:39] Magnum - What do i need to install on the server [16:39] NetScr1be: Itll upgrade all your packages so that you get 10.04 or whatever. [16:40] Chiggins: Nothing except xorg-libs or the xorg-libraries [16:40] Magnum: it won't do that unless you change your sources.list. read "man apt-get" what it actually does [16:40] I think I borked a samba share setup as the computer reports that the local folders aren't available and then wont move on after saying that it was terminated with status 32 at one point it gives me an option to skip by pressing s but that does nothing different for me any suggestions [16:40] BluesKaj: ty, ill try. [16:40] experiMENTAL, for video conversion ffmpeg in the command line is very effective [16:41] Magnum - Alright.. Just gotta figure out how to do this in putty [16:41] magnum when I try to do this through the GUI it fails for lack of disk space [16:41] linux is open source right??? than why RHEL is charged?? [16:41] that means we can make our own linux modify it and charge for that distribution [16:41] babaji: stupid question, read what open source means and what not [16:42] babaji: read the GPL too [16:42] experiMENTAL, in case you are not familiar with it a simple conversion with ffmpeg would be something like ffmpeg -i nameof.ogg nameof.avi for conversion from ogg to avi [16:42] @llutz sorry i am new to open source [16:42] babaji, not all linux severs are free RHEL is red hat enterprise software , that means it's proprietary and it costs [16:42] Chiggins: http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32/xfwd_putty-sm.png [16:42] babaji: tap water is free right? why you need to pay for coke? [16:43] yes, but you dont get the recipe for coke when you buy it ;-) [16:43] juk_ horrible analogy [16:43] magnum Asus EEE 4g only has 4GB SSD (/home on 8GB SD card) [16:43] juk_, tap water isn't free here , we get a water bill every month [16:43] juk_: i'd never compare ubuntu to rhel as "tap vs coke" [16:43] DougEdgy -- In my putty its under Connection -> SSH -> X11 [16:43] BluesKaj: Magnum: thanks for helping me track this down! one little line "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-2".. gotta love linux :) [16:43] if i take linux kernel change it according to my wishand bring new features than am i able to charge that distro? [16:44] BluesKaj, coz_ : thx [16:44] magnum are you saying that my 9.04 has received updates not intended for it? [16:44] lol [16:44] samw, glad to hear you got it working :) [16:44] Hi.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:48] Chiggins: He told you about one... llutz said "xming" [16:48] hi i am searching for some software that can be used for a photo booth, so it uses a webcam/ digital camera to take a picture, and then print it [16:48] on a printer [16:48] does sombody know this kind of software [16:48] LoRez, no I didn't sorry [16:48] babaji: thanks for laugh [16:48] hi [16:48] babaji: i'll tell you up front ... having used linux for some time and been around for much longer than you, the attitude that "this is world changing, secretive, i'll let you in on it some day" probably won't fly [16:48] lucas_, doesn't cheese do that? [16:48] babaji: you need to reference the GPLv2 license for answers to your questions regarding modification of the linux kernel [16:49] puddles, or that he wants to bring change to the kernel without actually taking steps to implement it. (Other than whispering in #ubuntu...) [16:49] how can I encrypt files and folders without root or sudo permissions (should work on every system, like university systems)? everything I found (dm-crypt, truecrypt & Co need root for mount). [16:49] lucas_: you can tie a number of programs together to do that, but you're better off writing your own yeah? [16:49] Just a quick one, anyone knows how to make Lucid (10.04) effectively recognise and use Creative's Zen Mozaic mp3 player? (amarok, gnomad2 and others failed to do so) [16:49] Chiggins: There are several of those i think. [16:49] puddles: Thanks man. But that looks like its CLI.. [16:49] Folks, what could be causing this problem: The system is going down for reboot NOW! and it stays like that, I can still operate on my computer? [16:49] thank u everyone !!! :) [16:49] Chiggins: If you have a linux client its ok by default. [16:50] hey everyone [16:50] asad-ahmad: if you want pretty graphs you have to build it yourself with rrdtools and perhaps some php graph front ends. there are some nice ones [16:50] foo23, you're attempting to encrypt files you do not own? [16:50] Asad-Ahmad, cli is nothing to be scared of =) [16:50] puddles: Hmm. I will look into it. [16:50] asad-ahmad: assuming you collect data with rrdtools, you can chart with this nice php lib, http://pchart.sourceforge.net/ [16:50] does any one know if there is a way to stop moving windows by pressing "alt+click"? [16:51] andeeeuk, System-> [16:51] LoganJRuff: I am all for CLI man, but for something of this sort, a minimial sort of GUI, like TCPView has, doesn't harm much [16:51] andeeeuk, System->Preferences->Windows [16:51] staretji: guess --- hung network mount points [16:51] It looks like screen eats the bell character/terminal beep? Does anyone know what is wrong? (10.04) [16:51] excellent, thanks!! [16:51] andeeeuk, Always a pleasure. =) [16:52] something soo simple [16:52] LoganJRuff: He wants to encrypt but not need to "su -" to use the dm-crypt program im guessing.. [16:52] I basically want to see the outbound connections, because Firestarter doesn't have an option like Allow outbound traffic on specific programs when they ask for it. [16:52] puddles, how can i write my own then? [16:52] I have a external hard drive, that is HFS+ format. Having trouble writing to the drive. can read no problems. I have turned of journaling. what else do I need to do? [16:52] just got photoshop cs4 working on ubuntu and really needed the alt key for stuff to work [16:52] windows does have some awsome software but i refuse to pay 600 dollars for a license:p [16:52] lucas_: study the source of camorama or some other video4linux client? [16:52] Magnum, yeah, I saw that, but the issue is that if he's encrypting files he's not the owner of he will always need root. [16:53] puddles, i have 0,0 experience with making software on linux :P [16:53] Unless he chowns them...? Which would be tedious? [16:53] LoganJRuff: truecrypt <- non-free also i guess. So its a commercial. [16:53] I have used etherape, but that only shows the the hostnames, not the process using it [16:53] is anyone needs to use photoshop on linux it works really well [16:53] lucas_: well dude, you can't have it both ways. if you have no experience writing software, PAY someone to do it (or buy license) [16:53] Magnum: Truecrypt is free AFAIK [16:53] Magnum: even truecrypt needs root-perm to mount [16:53] LoganJRuff: Entirely correct. [16:53] lucas_: otherwise, learn [16:53] Magnum: and truecrypt is free [16:53] andeeeuk, most of us shoot for the non-free option (gimp or other) [16:54] truecrypt is open source, but not considered free due to a strange license. [16:54] Magnum - DougEdgy .. Sweet, it seems to be working. Thanks! [16:54] LoganJRuff yeah i do like gimp and have used it a lot but simple love photoshop [16:55] andeeeuk, Cool =) But let's try to keep to topic, ok buddy? [16:55] so anyone has a clue how i can encrypt folders/files without root or sudo permissions? [16:56] LoganJRuff lol, yeah will do [16:56] foo23, as stated, unless you are the owner of the files in question then you will need to su, sudo, or chown them to encrypt them. [16:56] Chiggins: Np [16:56] guenas === sooraj is now known as soorajkenoth [16:56] LoganJRuff: i'm owner of these files [16:57] foo23, Are they in your home dir? [16:57] foo23: Seems ok from reading the first few lines atleast. What algorithm does it use for crypytings ? ... http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license [16:57] Where to get 2X Terminal Server binaries from ? [16:57] I have a external hard drive, that is HFS+ format. Having trouble writing to the drive. can read no problems. I have turned of journaling. what else do I need to do? [16:58] /join #zyxware [16:58] Found http://netactview.sourceforge.net/download.html . Almost perfect. Just doesn't show the individual process' traffic usage rate [16:58] how to connect wired internet in ubuntu 10,10 [16:58] bye [16:59] LoganJRuff: yes, in homedir with write permission etc [16:59] sudipta: Did you checked Network Manager in the Panel? === soorajkenoth is now known as soorajk [16:59] Magnum: truecrypt is nice, i use it for windows/linux shares. but it needs admin privileges to mount the container === nathan is now known as Guest31308 === Guest31308 is now known as ThePub [17:00] foo23: Hmm, shouldnt need to from my skillz in making enc dec things. === soorajk is now known as soorajkenoth [17:00] actully one of my frnd has this problem [17:00] foo23: To loop mount it ? [17:00] agross_: sorry? didn't understand [17:01] Magnum: sorry? didn't understand "in making enc dec things" [17:01] sudipta: Any details about it? [17:01] foo23: Nevermind. [17:02] i don't fully trust truecrypt === david is now known as Guest55554 [17:03] puddles: LOL. If you don't trust an opensource software, what else will you trust? :) [17:03] i've had troubles with truecrypt-generated fat file system ... linux doesn't like some fields in there (granted this was generated with older truecrypt) [17:03] asad-ahmad: LUKS does a fantastic job ... [17:03] puddles: does luks work without root permission? [17:04] foo23: sure, plug a drive that's encrypted, enter the password, access the drive, easy [17:04] puddles: yeah, but this wont work on other systems which don't have this plugin-feature [17:05] foo23: works on ubuntu, fedora and probably other distros. what's the point exactly? [17:05] puddles: won't work with a copied container-file on servers. at least not the university ones [17:06] foo23: wait ... so ... let me think about this ... you want to use encrypted filesystem on a system you don't have root? [17:07] puddles: i want to have folders encrypted on a system I don't have root. (yes, GPG, but no, thats not what I like to have) [17:07] on 10.04, bluetooth says it is disabled, even when i click to turn it on. how can I get bluetooth working? [17:07] foo23: there's fundamentally broken use model right there. it's not your machine ... why do you want to use sensitive data on it? how do you know your data won't leak somewhere (swap file, swap partition, core dumps, etc.)? [17:08] puddles: thx for a tip, only choice I had was to unplug the cable :) I hope it is nothing serious [17:08] foo23: even the home directory ... you mount stuff, access stuff ... stuffs end up in thumbnails, history, shell history, etc. [17:09] puddles: you never know if there is a bug in the system so someone has access to it. then even a full disk encryption at home doesnt work. [17:09] staretji: nah, usually not [17:09] how can i study about internal working of .deb [17:09] folks, I have plymouth theme on shutdown, but on boot, it shows up just a second before x is started [17:09] puddles: thx man [17:09] puddles: the question is not if it makes sence or not. its about: is there a way which is not gpg [17:09] ? [17:09] I think I borked a samba share setup as the computer reports that the local folders aren't available and then wont move on after saying that it was terminated with status 32 at one point it gives me an option to skip by pressing s but that does nothing different for me any suggestions [17:09] staretji: timing issues. your graphics subsystem takes too long to be ready, that by then ubuntu is ready to get into X so it's kind of pointless [17:10] babaji: maybe mc is helpful for you [17:10] hello? [17:10] puddles: oh, is there something I can do about it? [17:10] @foo23 what is mc? [17:11] babaji: mc - midnight commander - a powerful file manager [17:11] hi guys [17:11] babaji: yes [17:11] with the help of that will i be able to know the internal workings of .deb [17:12] Have a little problem here, got live CD because i can't boot anymore.. but can't mount my old (intern) HD [17:12] Travis-42 : trying using blueman bluetooth manager. It gives you necessary option to get bluetooth working. [17:12] babaji: you can figure out some. [17:12] Hello [17:12] hi [17:12] ishida: ya [17:13] staretji: you might be able to get new profile for boot by deleting stuff in /var/lib/ureadahead [17:13] babaji: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html [17:13] hi, hi, googleearth in ubuntu 10.04 and kubuntu 10.10, when you select some links the application fails and this is closed, in windows work very well [17:14] puddles: hm, you mean I should remove stuff that I really don't need or what? It's kinda fuzzy to me [17:14] ANyone> [17:14] ? [17:14] bye [17:14] @magnum and foo23 can u tell some source from where i can master totaly on net? [17:14] master linux [17:14] Hi, how can i print a file via shell? [17:14] staretji: try to google for "ubuntu ureadahead boot" [17:14] lucas_: lpr file [17:15] staretji: for example, http://ubuntuguide.net/howto-fix-ureadahead-problem-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-10-04 [17:15] napier, yes there are some bugs on the latest google earth , close the startup tip box before it crashes seems to be the best advice I can give til the bugs are fixed [17:16] When i mount my old hd i get /media/oldhd (my mout point) and then the files; bin boot cdrom dev etc home... [17:16] Anyone has any clue about this? [17:16] what runs on port 1234 [17:16] thx puddles, will do that ;) [17:16] xzaz: what are you expecting [17:16] Magnum, rusivi I just noticed something [17:16] My Files :) [17:16] llutz, thanks, im searching for a way to print 4 fotos on one paper in a square :) [17:16] hiexpo: sudo lsof -i :1234 [17:16] xzaz: ok - so look in the directories for your files [17:16] but i dunno how to do that [17:16] ikonia: Its my local harddisk i want to browse the files [17:17] The files are files [17:17] zxd: browse them then, you've said it's mounted fine [17:17] I cant do anything with them [17:17] xzaz: yes ? and ? [17:17] They are no maps ;) [17:17] xzaz: maps? [17:17] how can i list dirs based on how many files are inside. no ls option for that? [17:17] Well what the hell is worng XD [17:17] xzaz: nothing [17:17] If there is nothing wrong i can browse my files right? [17:17] babaji: debian .deb files are "ar" archives internally [17:17] Is there any program for evaluating the result of multiple-choice exam I have taken from my students (I have scanned the sheets already) [17:17] Magnum, rusivi I have an identical machine running 9.1 and it has no issu4 [17:17] xzaz: that's totally normal, you've mounted your ubuntu files system [17:17] i like the part in ubuntu when the kernel shoots lasers [17:17] xzaz: you can yes [17:17] babaji: just "ar x foo.deb" to see the goodies :-) [17:17] ikonia: how? [17:17] po3: what are you talking about ? [17:18] llutz, monopd 2022 nobody 4u IPv4 6700 0t0 TCP *:1234 (LISTEN) [17:18] xzaz: open a file manager, and go to /media/olddisk [17:18] NetScr1be: You have BOINC, Firefox, & pulseaudio all running simultaneously and found no problem? [17:18] pew pew lasers [17:18] * oldIT781 bows to all the nice people. === j_ is now known as firewaterburnz [17:18] Is there any program for evaluating the result of multiple-choice exam I have taken from my students? (I have scanned the sheets already) [17:18] @puddles what are the ar archieves? [17:18] hi, on ubuntu 10.04 lucid -keyboard stops responding on closing the laptop lid and re-opening.Any idea. :n [17:18] po3: what are you talking about ? [17:19] ikonia: thats what i am saying; i can't browse my files.. i just see a the 'files' bin, boot cdrom dev etc home initrd.img initrd.img... lib lost+found media mnt opt proc etc... [17:19] Magnum, rusivi now my issue is how to get apt-get dist-upgrade to use another disk [17:19] !info monopd|hiexpo === riku is now known as Guest11940 [17:19] Package monopdhiexpo does not exist in maverick [17:19] xzaz: pastebin the ouput of "ls -la /media/olddisk" in a pastebin please [17:19] !info monopd |hiexpo [17:19] None: monopd (source: monopd): Monopoly game network server.

[17:19] po3: please don't [17:19] llutz, thanks [17:20] MiMe: Perhaps, are the scanned files PDF text searchable or just a PDF with no search? [17:20] NetScr1be: no, I haven't. is there any need, the exam was multiple choice [17:20] MiMe, you will if you want the text read automatically [17:20] !ocr | MiMe [17:20] MiMe: OCR software for Ubuntu includes Tesseract, Ocrad and GOcr. GNOME users can use 'gocr-gtk' as a front-end to GOcr, while KDE users have Kooka available as a front-end to Ocrad and GOcr. [17:21] NetScr1be: There's no text, it's multiple choice [17:21] blueskaj, ok, but the fault is of another nature in google earth [17:21] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/4vxw5GSv [17:21] NetScr1be: they had to select the right answer [17:21] peddles: :) [17:21] between 1,2,3,4 [17:21] MiMe: There is also Ocropus -> http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ [17:21] xzaz: that's fine, thats all the directories and files, just go to the directory where your files are, and view them [17:21] !hdmi [17:21] i'd build a lego robot to scan the answer sheet and detect the blacked spots. that'd be an awesome robotic grader. [17:22] rusivi: as I told, there is no text, thus I don't think there is any need for OCR. There were multiple choices, and the students had to select between 1, 2, 3, 4 [17:22] rusivi: and mark the correct answer [17:22] ikonia: i make a screenshot one moment [17:22] anyone get HDMI sound to work in ubuntu? [17:22] Mime so OCR won't help [17:22] llutz, got rid of it thanx [17:23] ikonia: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1852/screenshotjhz.png [17:23] Ubuntu 10.10 makes my PSU whine, but 10.04 does not? Anyone know how to fix this? I recently upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 now i have this whine from my PSU. I have isolated my hard drive and its not my CPU fan either. The whine only happens sometimes. I have experimented by trying both the 10.04 and 10.10 OS test on flash drive and 10.10 gives me the whine. [17:23] linuzo:HDMI sound is working fine for me.I'm on ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.:D:os [17:24] mansoluvlucid, Whats the driver do you know off hand [17:24] oldit781: replace the fan? [17:24] mansoluvlucid, ati? nvidia? [17:24] MiMe: Then you need image recognition software, IDK of any that will fit your situation that is FOSS. [17:24] nvidia [17:24] xxploit: try this command - your permissions are all messed up. "sudo chmod -R 775 /media/oldhd" [17:24] ikonia: any clue what is happening? [17:25] ikonia: thanks for helping btw ;) [17:25] puddles: I could do that but it was a 90$ psu .... id rather return the PSU. I dont understand WHY an upgrade would make a difference? Also, on Win 7 does not produce the whine. [17:25] xzaz: just looks like a permissions issue, try that command and see what happens [17:25] ikonia: thanks [17:25] mansoluvlucid, Did you have to do anything to tweak it? I'm on fedora right now but can't seem to get audio for some reason [17:25] shows the driver and everything [17:26] oldit781: i don't see how an os could make a psu whine, besides maybe the overall system runs a little hotter. but that's all i can think of. if your psu whines because the system runs hotter, well, hmm ... gee ... replace the psu? [17:26] Is there any program for evaluating the result of multiple-choice exam I have taken from my students? (I have scanned the sheets already) it should be kinda simple I think, a sample sheet is here: http://s14.aks98.com/images/38709114708654976377.jpg [17:26] ikonia: he is working... crossing fingers :) [17:26] MiMe: no [17:26] ikonia: oh, thanks god :D [17:27] puddles: Its odd because sometimes the whine goes away. For instance, the whine does not start until 10ish seconds after 10.10 has loaded the log on screen. [17:27] linuzo:But in nvidia do have some gliches. Nouveau Driver is the best until nvidia is properly supported. [17:27] oldIT781: sounds like a hardware failure/overload [17:28] oldIT781: it could be that 10.10 casuses a heavier load on your system and increasing the power consumption and lowering availible power to the fan its like a belt in a car that only squeals when you run heater and AC (extra power usage makes alternator harder to turn and slightly worn belt slips) [17:28] is there an ubuntu specific version of the openssh source? I am attempting to patch it on 10.10 but dpkg is complaining about missing the debian/changelog [17:28] dans326 and ikonia: is there a different requirement for 10.10? [17:29] linuzo:nvida and Nouveau are video card drivers.It has nothing to do with audio. [17:29] dans326 and ikonia: power requirement that is. [17:29] I am using a Nexus 430w PSU. Fine for Win 7 and ubuntu 10.04 but not fine for 10.10? [17:29] ikonia: You are a hero thanks :) [17:30] ahoy ubuntu community, I am out of ideas and I need someone to point me in the right direction. I recently upgraded from mythbuntu 8 ot mythbuntu 10.10. My videos are on a seperate ext3 partition, that I have mounted under /media/sda6/videos. I can not get mythbuntu to see the videos in that directory. Under mythbuntu 8 there was a file browse utility that would catalog the new videos, but... [17:30] ...that utility seems to be gone.....any advice? [17:30] blueskaj, ok I clear the google earth suggestions but when I run the map links sometimes fails on ubuntu and kubuntu, in windows never [17:30] not in notable incriments but it could be just enough of a difference that a worn one will show the issues [17:30] xzaz: no problem [17:30] hey hiiii evry1 m new to ubuntu installed today,cn any1 let me knw how to allow local host to find my perl program in cgi-bin [17:30] psu whine? high pitched sounds? thats normal for when you have something with high FPS [17:30] dans326: PSU is maybe a year old. [17:30] mansoluvlucid, NVIDIA nforce drivers are used for HDMI output.. [17:30] hi all [17:30] I have a problem [17:31] bindi: even in Win 7 when i play games im not getting the whine. as far as FPS goes. [17:31] mansoluvlucid, 00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio (rev a1) [17:31] I'm trying to compile a program. I get this error: #include no such file or directory [17:31] and thanks everyone for their help. [17:31] riku_yasha: that's apache configuration. go to apache site, read the doc. /etc/apache/httpd.conf or similar [17:31] oldIT781: the age doesn't matter, it's probably overloaded or has a problem, get it checked out by a tech [17:32] oldIT781 age doesnt matter DOA's happen and new parts die early [17:32] I have installed the libdc1934 library. Also the .dev one but g++ doesn't see it [17:32] dany_: what are you trying to compile [17:32] ikonia: are there any ubuntu programs that will monitor energy usage? [17:32] puddles:thnx [17:32] ikonia: is a project of my university. It is of some years ago [17:32] dany_: what are you trying to compile [17:32] alternativly try changing the orientation of the machine itself .... [17:32] dans326: yeah, i know my first was not DOA but it did not function properly. I sent it back and they confirmed it and sent me a new one. [17:33] oldIT781: errr not really, not like that [17:33] will apt-cdrom -d /media/usr install an upgrade from that disk? [17:33] my 7.04 system's fan started screaming the other day I layed the machine down to fix it and it stopped ... so I left it on its side [17:33] there is a ./configure script, I tried also: ./configure LIBS=-ldc1394 [17:33] dany_: ok, so check your inlcudes, you may want to ask in ##c++ as it's not an ubuntu issue [17:33] ikonia: yeah i figured so. it would have to be a hardware device. but i thought it may be worth asking. [17:33] upon a subsequent apt-get dist-upgrade [17:34] ikonia: I think it's a problem of that package [17:34] ikonia: so to your understanding there is no significant power usage difference between 10.04 and 10.10? [17:34] how can I see if I have that library installed? is there a way to find the path of that library? [17:34] brb it's nap time for a certain little girl [17:34] dany_: what package ? [17:35] ikonia: libdc1394 [17:36] I installed it with apt-get but with that instruction: include doesn't see nothing [17:38] my connection is a bit slow [17:38] dany_: have you looked if that file is on the machine [17:38] How do you tile windows in gnome ?

Fresh 64-bit install of 10.10 on a Toshiba U300 (core2, intel gfx) and suspend/hibernate both fail (gives me text-mode login screen but it's hung). 10.04 worked like a charm so it's something that's changed between revisions of Ubuntu [17:42] Can anyone help me diagnose it? pm-suspend.log doesn't show any problems at all [17:42] everything prepares to suspend just fine [17:44] anyone?

[17:45] puddles: so it safe for me to remove it from /etc/init/ ? hehe [17:46] dany_: it means it can't resolve the hostname [17:46] oops [17:46] staretji: i suppose, or just short circuiting it (exit 0 near beginning) [17:46] dans326: it means it can't resolve the host name [17:46] yea I gathered that much ... but after it fails it hangs and wont finish booting so I can go in and make changes [17:47] ikonia: if I want to install that library in /usr/include/ instead of the default prefix what should I do with the ./configure file?

[17:50] If I got to standard terminal login how do I start genome? [17:51] Can I connect to ICQ? [17:51] computer_: ? [17:51] eriksson25: try startx [17:51] Will someone recommend a few good tools for renaming music files based on their id3 tags? [17:51] dany_: then you have probably messed up your ubuntu install as you should have used the version in the package manager [17:51] ok thanksù [17:51] okay so nobody here helps [17:51] dany: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/experimental; for example [17:51] Guest_234: you need an icq client, such as epiphany [17:51] puddles: uhm [17:52] Hmm, I updated to kernel 2.6.37rc2 and I guess it didnt like that. [17:52] No screens found. [17:52] oli [17:52] ./configure --prefix=/usr/include/ [17:52] dany_: no [17:52] oli [17:52] puddles: why not? [17:52] Can you please help me to connect to ICQ?? [17:52] dany_: because that will put bins, libs, under /usr/include [17:52] anbody? [17:52] Hai! [17:52] dany: you end up with /usr/include/bin /usr/include/lib/*.so and stuff [17:53] puddles: uhm so where? [17:53] puddles: ok [17:53] sori? [17:53] dany: ./configure --prefix=/usr and keep finger crossed. it's your system so don't complain if you break it [17:53] dany_: you've just overwrote the ubuntu library with a different version [17:53] dany: what's wrong with prefix=/usr/local ? [17:53] ikonia: I know [17:53] Guest_234: try adding it to pidgin or any other messengers that support it. [17:53] dany_: why did you not use the version out of the package manager ? [17:53] dany: i think you haven't investigated the "proper" way to do this [17:54] dany_: you know what ? [17:54] dany_: I asked why you are not using the version packaged from ubuntu ? [17:54] puddles: the fact is that "my" project doesn't see the library if it is in /usr/local [17:54] dany: you can put stuff in /usr/local just fine and make whatever you want load that just fine, at most you just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and at worst you just force a preload with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libfoo.so [17:54] ikonia: because I need to install in that path [17:54] The NoMachine NX doesn't have shortcuts to call them as in "sudo nxserver " so I have to call as "sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver ". Can't I make such by myself ? [17:54] dany: well sheeeet there is an easy solution to THAT problem :-) [17:54] how do I assing ip address to my eth0, ubuntu 10.10 ? [17:54] dany: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib; done [17:54] puddles: ah cool so let me think.. [17:54] i_is_broke, thanks a lot! [17:55] puddles: in the configure ? [17:55] Guest_234: np your welcome [17:55] dany: no dude, at runtime [17:55] i need to know what ubuntu USB install really means: does it make you use linux from the usb acting like a system, or is it a CD replacement that allows you to install linux as if you're doing it from a CD? [17:55] dany_: no you don't [17:55] okay how about i subscribe to some paid support service [17:55] dany: read up on ld.so [17:55] rautamiekka: sudo ln -s /usr/NX/bin/nxserver /bin/nxserver [17:55] so i can get help [17:55] dany_: you need to change your includes to look in the RIGHT place [17:55] how do I assing ip address to my eth0, ubuntu 10.10 ? [17:55] dany: "man ld.so" [17:55] uhm what a mess [17:55] k [17:56] krunal: canonical.com for paid support [17:56] dany: it's only a mess because you haven't understood it and you haven't understood the ramifications and you're stuck in your local minima of thinking there can only be one solution [17:56] Pici: Thank you, that did it :) [17:56] barberan: open network manager, select eth0 set it to the IP you want [17:56] !usb | distant2 [17:56] distant2: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:56] puddles: yes I think that you're right [17:57] ikonia, I'd like console [17:57] puddles: the fact is that this project is a mess.. I'm 2 days fixing compiling errors.. [17:57] hi guys [17:57] distant2: you can use it from the usb itself, or you can just install from the usb. your call [17:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/533452/ <<<<--- can somebody look to this? is it any bug? [17:57] barberan: then look at the interfaces file for an example, but beaware that WILL conflict with network manager === max is now known as Guest86813 [17:57] ermm can somone tell me why IDJC after a forced quit is not opening anymore? (tried removing and re-installing it [17:57] napier, well I guess we just have to put up with google earth crashes til google or the devs can come up with a fix :( [17:58] ikonia, how much does it cost [17:58] Kurdistan: no error there [17:58] krunal: ask them [17:58] dany_: :-) that's different ... well, there are lots of ways to make your life easier when developing with GNU / linux. you can use libtool, automake, and autoconf to really make it easy to make libraries and executables. what in particular are you having problem with at the mo? [17:58] REDUX--->ahoy ubuntu community, I am out of ideas and I need someone to point me in the right direction. I recently upgraded from mythbuntu 8 ot mythbuntu 10.10. My videos are on a seperate ext3 partition, that I have mounted under /media/sda6/videos. I can not get mythbuntu to see the videos in that directory. Under mythbuntu 8 there was a file browse utility that would catalog the new... [17:58] ...videos, but that utility seems to be gone.....any advice? [17:59] ikonia, are you sure? [17:59] Kurdistan: pretty [17:59] hi [17:59] puddles: yes there are automake, autoconf etc.. but I had a lot linking problem. I put all the template code in header files etc [17:59] hi guys :) [17:59] Advice, guesses, witty remarks? [17:59] rigved: ok, that's good, thanks. [17:59] puddles: now I got this error: [18:00] dany_: with automake, you can specify linker parameters via _LDFLAGS= [18:00] Roj bash, Kurdistan [18:00] how do i enable the backspace button to go "back" on web browsers? [18:00] error: libdc1394/dc1394_control.h: No such file or directory [18:00] distant2: you are welcome [18:00] dany_: take this to ##c++ as it's not an ubuntu issue [18:00] My friend is having a problem with Firefox. It doesn't start and gives the error message that it's already running. Trying to close it with sudo killall firefox and sudo killall firefox-bin doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas? [18:00] ikonia, every time I hit command line "dmesg | grep -i error" I get the same message in terminal. [18:01] earthmelon, silav, evar bash. :) [18:01] dany_: that's done with CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include or even better with a "./configure --with-...." of some sort (if the project is competent they will have written up m4 fragment to figure out where the header file could be). for quick hack you can always add CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include and be done with [18:02] qwd, sudo ps -elf | grep firefox [18:02] puddles: yes there is a configure [18:02] qwd: have you tried staring it from the terminal? does it give the same error messages? [18:02] brb [18:03] help! using ubuntu 9.04 installed with wubi simply want to upgrade to 9.10 can any help.. ;) [18:03] dany_: ./configure --help, read all the --with options and see if there's one that tells you where your firewire headers can be from [18:03] puddles: I have already read it but there is not such option [18:03] puddles: I have to do it in another way [18:03] dany_: ok then time to hack the Makefile.am :-) [18:04] I want to run lkl and have installed it - when I try and run it it tells me that it needs a keymap file - where do I find the keymap file for lucid [18:04] puddles: damn.. :D [18:04] dany_: it's easy. 30-second vi job === k is now known as Guest55085 [18:04] puddles: cool, but is not possible to do the same thing with: [18:04] hi, i'm trying to install 10.10 and i get the Unable to mount root fs kernel panic, even if i just try to load into livecd. I've experienced the same issue with 9.04 and the 10.10 alternate version.

[18:06] dany_: if there's --with-includes then yeah [18:06] tzanger: hold shift [18:06] hitting escape just shows the kernel alreayd booting, and giving the hidden menu a timeout (from 0) doesn't appear to show anything [18:06] hello I'm not resolving AD hostnames from my ubuntu box. /etc/resolv.conf shows the correct domain and search and has the nameserver set to the AD server. Please help? [18:06] tzanger, go to terminal and write sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [18:06] and change time [18:06] puddles: so only with CFLAGS is impossible? [18:07] then hit "sudo update-grub2". [18:07] firewaterburnz: join #ubuntu-mythtv [18:07] firewaterburnz: or join #mythbuntu [18:07] thxs rigved [18:07] puddles: there is written this: Optional Packages: [18:07] --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] [18:07] dany_: dude, if you want easy, edit Makefile.am <- it's TRIVIAL. [18:07] :) tzanger, you can also press shift during reboot/upstart. [18:07] firewaterburnz: it's basically the same channel. they might be able to help [18:07] Kurdistan: I did change the time to 3s [18:08] anwyay will try shift, thanks juk_ [18:08] firewaterburnz: you are welcome [18:08] tzanger, the default is 10 sec. [18:09] folks, what the point of splash quiet in grub when I can see lines while booting? [18:09] why you want to go to grub? dual-booting? then you really should have more then 3 sec. [18:09] started upgrade see you guys soon. :) [18:09] I dual boot with 2 seconds. :) [18:09] I only boot windows for gaming, I want my box to boot ubuntu all other times [18:10] puddles: can I ask you which Makefile? that in the root or that in /src? [18:10] If I reboot into windows I will be right here to catch it [18:10] staretji, you mean quiet splash? [18:10] dany_: in top-level directory [18:11] Kurdistan: yes, quiet splash [18:11] puddles: ok thank you.. I'm going to try it now [18:11] dany_: that should propagate to subdirectories [18:11] Hey guys, I'm using the Global menu on 10.10 Desktop, I have 2 annoyances with it, the first one is that it shows things like accounts under Pidgin and Bookmarks under Nautilus' Places 50x, the other one is that it sometimes flashes when switching apps [18:11] puddles: okk [18:11] Anyone here who has a Asus A8N-E motherboard that can tell me how to get surround on SPDIF to work?

[18:15] qwd: I don't think you can kill it anymore, seems like stuff deep. Reboot the computer. [18:15] Something like we attach tags with skills to people photographs, and then when people connect to the application by means of a browser, they see a list of tags, they click on a tag they get a list of people who have that skill. [18:15] dany_: you understand the basics of automake right? have you read up on it? [18:15] Kurdistan: thx dude, I will read it carefully ;) [18:15] qwd: stuck deep* [18:15] rautamiekka: Alright, I'll ask her to do that [18:15] dany_: there's a build target. that's the basename. you extend the basename with _CFLAGS and _LDFLAGS if you need custom compile/link parameters [18:16] the one running 9.04 started lagging momentarily with most processes showing poll_schedule_timeout [18:16] dany_: have you identified the build target?

[18:20] !anyone | krunal [18:20] krunal: 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? [18:20] Someone here knows if PyGTK works under Python 3.1? [18:20] Does anyone know what "Too many connections" means on ubuntu startup? [18:20] krunal, i am [18:20] It appears right before the GUI login form appears [18:21] i ordered the new dell xps 15 [18:21] cool :) [18:21] hopefully it works just fine [18:21] yeah [18:21] i cant get ubuntu to connect to windows computers [18:21] krunal: can you ping the ip? [18:22] it sees the network and computers..asks for username and pass - but when i type them in..it loops back [18:22] krunal: or ping hostname [18:22] Someone here knows if PyGTK works under Python 3.1? :S === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [18:22] krunal: what service are you connecting to? [18:22] let me try ActionParsnip [18:22] samba [18:22] trying to see files and folders on a PC from ubuntu 10.10 [18:23] krunal: much better, technically a ping is a "connection" so give as much detail as you can in future. ;) [18:23] so as it turns out the correct solution to my boot issue was to put my install disk in go into rescue mode and edit fstab with vi to remove the two shares I tried to set up [18:23] krunal: does the account you are authenticating with have a paswsword? [18:23] does backing up your system with tar cvpzf mybackup.tgz / --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys make it so that you can load it on another drive and boot that backup? [18:23] hello everyone, I've booted from a live disc and am trying to chroot into my root partition on the harddrive, when I do chroot /mnt/root I get failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error, any tips ? [18:23] yes ActionParsnip [18:24] krunal: is it windows7? [18:24] ActionParsnip, i just did a ping test and it was successful. Yes windows 7 [18:24] ie. can you just stick it onto a drive and untar it and have a fully functioning os? [18:24] krunal: do you have windows live messenger installed? [18:24] aah... I think I might know what the problem is.. 32bit vs. 64bit I read somewhere.. [18:24] ActionParsnip, on the windows 7 pc? no [18:25] ActionParsnip: solved it by deleting the profile... again [18:25] Does anyone know what "Too many connections" means on ubuntu startup? [18:25] It appears right before the GUI login form appears [18:26] krunal: hmm bizarre. I read somewhere that the app causes issues. Ok if you edit your ubuntu OS so that its samba config shows itin the same workgroup it may help [18:27] i'd have to get some kind of tier 2 support to show me exactly what to edit in the smb.conf [18:27] heh [18:28] ActionParsnip, can you direct me on where to look to make any changess to samba?

I am unable to find gtk-config at all. Where did it go? I used to be able to use it in previous ubuntu versions, but not in maverick. So Where did it go? [18:30] rudenstam: sorry that link is no good, ts to do something different [18:30] krunal: win7 has a non-standard samba which has new authentication stuffs [18:31] Also is there currently a good, working global menu? [18:31] Flare183: do you mean gconf-editor [18:31] Folks, I did iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE and after echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward .But after reboot it wont work :/ I had to do it each time. Any suggestions [18:31] !info globalmenu [18:31] Package globalmenu does not exist in maverick [18:31] ActionParsnip, makes sense now [18:31] ActionParsnip: Nope, gtk-config. Its used to build/compile stuff with the GTK Interface [18:32] no one idea of my problem? [18:32] ActionParsnip, apparently it is a problem that is a known issue [18:32] Flare183: why not use tried and test configure; make; make install [18:32] krunal: yeah we get it alot [18:33] Any ideas? Why it doesn't survive reboot? [18:33] ActionParsnip: I am, I'm not a noob. ._. I've used Ubuntu for far to long. But I can't build this without the gtk-config :/ [18:33] hello all - i am going nuts trying to figure out how to downgrade to use basic vesa graphics on ubuntu (maverick, i think) ... i am getting tons of graphics problems / reboots for no known good reason and my X-fu is seriously failing me now [18:33] A_New_Server: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu maybe [18:33] rudenstam: you need to mount proc and sys I believe on the hdd system before you chroot. You'll find the hdd in /mnt or /media it will probably e in a directory with a long string of numbers and letters. From what I remember off the top of my head it is mount --bind /mnt/whateveritis/proc and similar for sys, then sudo chroot /mnt/whateveritis. Check this though! [18:33] flare183: what's the problem? [18:33] Flare183: possibly a bug then? [18:34] * Flare183 sighs [18:34] can find command be used to recursively find files in subdirectories of the current working directory? [18:35] banker247: see man find [18:35] banker247: find . -type f ,will find ALL files [18:35] MrsB: I suspect it's a 32bit/64bit problem... live disc was 32 bit and my hdd is 64bit.. read that it would fuck things up [18:35] ActionParsnip: http://flare183.net/paste/build_error1.html [18:35] rudenstam: I don't think that should affect it as you are not using the 32bit libraries when it is chrooted [18:36] any help with figuring out what driver my X server is currently using? [18:36] flare183: gtk-config is a gtk1 thing [18:36] rames: lsmod [18:36] Flare183: have youset GTK_CONFIG oris it already set? [18:36] rudenstam: Sorry i dont have the time to help you further right now but that should set you on the right track [18:36] puddles: It should still exist [18:36] flare183: so if you want gtk-config, install gtk1.x libs [18:36] rames: sudo lshw -C display | grep -i driver ,may do it [18:37] puddles: did you read what the paste said, it says GTK2 not one :/ [18:37] ActionParsnip: Its not set because its not found [18:37] rames: the x server isn't just the video driver, its the mouse and the keyboard too [18:37] flare183: all i'm going to say is this, "gtk-config is provided by gtk1.x and NO LONGER PROVIDED BY gtk2.0", make of that what you will [18:37] oh :/ [18:37] Flare183: then find out what to set it to === lolerskater is now known as S2010 [18:38] I'ma have to rewrite BasiliskII then >.< or something [18:38] flare183: you mean this, checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0. where it CLEARLY said "gtk 1.2.0"? that's gtk1, dude [18:38] puddles: my bad :/ [18:38] Flare183: or just use terminal ;) [18:38] ActionParsnip: True, I could do that [18:38] im trying to install nvidia drivers and it's telling me to exit X. how do i do this?

[18:46] blocky: that's a bug in your application switcher [18:46] Check in the key configuration [18:46] blocky: the static application switcher seems to work best for me (alt-tab in both directions) [18:46] blocky: you might have overwritten the hotkey for it with another interface addon. look through all your interface settings. [18:46] Aer? [18:47] yes ? [18:47] is it fixed? [18:47] im just checking now :) [18:47] alright [18:47] has it updated the software list?

[18:48] anyone know why "sudo chown -R adam:adam /media/external" won't change ownership from root? [18:48] If I run iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE my Internet connection sharing works, but after reboot, it doesn't. I have to enter this every boot. Why is that? Can I make this entry permanent? [18:48] ectospasm, the static does work, thanks [18:48] what does -iname stand for in find -iname? [18:48] GeekyAdam, that is also a good though, I will check [18:48] whats a good app for combining pdf files on ubuntu? [18:48] Get in the private there's really too much talking here [18:49] blocky: lmk if it works [18:49] StaRetji: try service networking restart for testing [18:49] GeekyAdam: could be because the filesystem type doesn't support permission changes [18:49] banker247: ignore case in filename [18:49] im running the command line version guillaume_ but my internet is slow so it will take a while 250mb to download :( [18:49] guillaume_: from what i see, you're doing all the talking [18:49] rames: its NTFS, is that unchangeable? [18:49] GeekyAdam: likely :-| [18:50] GeekyAdam: there might be some mojo commands you can use within samba / fuse / ntfs utilities [18:51] juk_: it doesn't help, still it doesn't work [18:51] GeekyAdam: or it might be mounted read only some how? [18:51] hi === hugoparrajulia is now known as Simpulso [18:51] rames: i just want to be able to work with the contents (modify, move around, etc) without needing to be root :/ tell me more of these magic commands with samba,etc [18:51] rames: no its not read only, i can edit the files as root [18:52] rames: but id like to mount the drive over the network and im not seeing it and i think its because root is the owner :/ === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [18:52] GeekyAdam: i don't think i can help too much more [18:52] GeekyAdam: but definitely google for ntfs linux root chmod [18:53] rames: been there and back again. ill keep sniffin around though thx. [18:54] Yepp finnaly the problem for software catalogue was the following.. [18:54] You need to do your updates before using it ocrrectly [18:55] Is there a reason why Ubuntu wont save IPTABLES after reboot? It is ridiculous :/ [18:56] hallo [18:56] ich hab unity installiert [18:56] can anybody help me about this problem http://pastebin.ca/1994839 [18:56] StaRetji did you use iptables-save ? [18:56] wie kann ich denn zu unity wechseln? [18:56] !deutch | eonfar [18:56] !german | eonfar [18:56] eonfar: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

The laptop I need it on has no conn atm...so I need to dl it on this one and then xfer the file manually. :) [19:01] [12:56] Thus apt-get or aptitude install won't work [19:02] How can I see what brand / model is the touchpad of my laptop [19:02] ? [19:03] iptables-save still doesn't help. Man, I can't get anything to work easily [19:03] The touchpad is working, but not correctly. (using kubuntu), KDE system settings is telling me the driver for the touchpad is not installed, how can I install it? [19:03] StaRetji: there is a graphical firewall configuration program.. trying to remember the name.. [19:03] StaRetji: that program is *easy*, just drag and drop.. [19:03] StaRetji: I think its fwbuilder [19:03] anybody know how to change what video driver "X" is using on ubuntu? [19:04] !firewall [19:04] 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. [19:04] i want to upgrade a package in universe, i did not find any usefull help. where do i start? i already have done packaging it. where do i send it? to revu or directly post it in bugs database? [19:04] hi, could someone help me with my graphic card driver issues? [19:04] Phoenixz: no can do mate, need something to work without gui [19:04] Phoenixz: I just want Ubuntu to remember my iptables after reboot [19:04] zani: maybe a little, i'm trying to figure out how to change what video card driver "X" is using === melik2 is now known as melik [19:04] StaRetji: no problem, you configure the FW locally in your computer, then you can say "install this FW using ip tables in machine X" [19:04] zani: what is your issue? [19:05] StaRetji: thats iptables -s, IIRC [19:05] iptables-save > file works as well [19:05] I have an old ATI Radeon HD 2600 pro and I think that drivers just don't work [19:05] Phoenixz: i tried iptables-save to no avail [19:06] I tried installing the fglrx but I can't run anything 3D properly [19:06] hi freinds i need a help regarding kernel [19:06] any reason that my 10.04 servers would be periodically contacting bignay|auckland|atemoya.canonical.com? [19:06] it's not updates, since I have a local apt-cache [19:06] Phoenixz: it says everything is okay, but after reboot simply doesn't work [19:06] Logout process doens't initiate. Clicking on logout only stops display manager and moves to tty where it should be killing process and exiting. Instead it only stays leaving the system on the black screen, Shutdown/restart, sleep, lock options works. How can I fix this logout problem? [19:06] did you ever used pptp daemon / client [19:07] for vpn? [19:07] can i modify linux kernel for my software program and state linux distro as free and charge for my software? [19:08] Staretiji: you need to have an iptables-restore < file somewhere in your network boot sequence [19:08] harsh: wrong forum, but yes... just so long as you make available your modifications to the kernel [19:08] I'm getting this error when trying to install globalmenu from the link you have, ActionParsnip. "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-globalmenu-common_0.7.9-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid2_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-globalmenu.mo', which is also in package gnome2-globalmenu-applet 0" [19:08] I used to play minecraft but now it doesn't work in browser, and I think it's a driver problem. Is there any hope? I don't know what to do [19:08] harsh: foo.sh built on linux1.2.3+diffs ... the only thing *required* to be released as source is the +diffs part [19:09] How do i register a nick? [19:09] harsh: but talk to a lawyer and contact "gplviolations.org" (i think) if you have questions [19:09] !register | diego [19:09] diego: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

Sorry for being in the wrong place :( [19:09] hey folks, anyone have an idea on how to enable java plugin in firefox 3.6? [19:09] Hi. Fresh install of 10.10(64 bit). I keep reading the nVidia proprietary drivers are better than the ones offered by Ubuntu on first boot. Can someone suggest a good site(with a PPA perhaps) explaining how to install them? Thanks. === diego is now known as JoeNegri [19:09] @rames thanks for ur help [19:10] A_New_Server: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-global-menu-common_.7.9-0ubuntu1 yadda yadda. (Complete the filename) [19:10] harsh: foo.sh (your software) does not require source to be made available .... if you make changes to core linux stuff then you are modifying it so you have to make those mod's public [19:10] I've been finding lots of problems since I got ubuntu :( I'm starting to get bored [19:10] bang0: Have you experienced any issues? Because if you don't, it's generally recommended that you try to use your distribution's driver packages. [19:10] A_New_Server: you get the idea. There is a conflict of files so just tell dpkg to force and do it anyway. I suggest you contact the developer to let them know [19:11] red2kic, understood. [19:11] zani: how are you determining what video driver you are using? [19:11] which editor to use for c++ in ubuntu? [19:11] netbeans or eclipse? [19:11] !ide [19:11] pokoko222: either will do [19:11] it's sticked on my tower.. [19:11] erUSUL: lookslike she's sleeping [19:12] !coffee [19:12] red2kic, but no, no problems that i am aware of. Just thought i'd ask about it. [19:12] hi, trying to make a usb startup disk, installed usb-creator, but can't run it, with ubuntu saying it's not installed [19:12] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [19:12] ... ouch ^.^ [19:12] @rames appreciate ur answer......! from where i can learn about the inner working of .deb [19:12] erUSUL: coffee. Always works ;) [19:12] pokoko222: netbeans [19:12] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600 Series] [1002:9589] [19:12] bang0: I'm not sure about PPA as I don't have problem with my drivers. You also can run the .bin directly from Nvidia website. Not that you need it, I think. [19:12] ActionParsnip: :D [19:13] harsh: debian policy guide ... google some "debian new maintainer program" [19:13] pokoko222: that list ubottu gave are all in the repo and can be used to code c++ [19:13] red2kic, thanks 4 answering. Is it easy to "toggle" between the two drivers to cross-test which is superior? [19:13] i need someone that dont take time to learn [19:13] harsh: it will take quite a bit of work to get ~good~ at debian packages, but print out (on paper) a bunch of those guides / books and you will do fine [19:13] ActionParsnip so netbeans or eclipse are the ones i think about [19:13] i have a service, that needs to be start before X11 starts... how can i make sure it's started before x11 ? [19:13] pokoko222: try a few, see which you find easiest to learn [19:14] emacs and others i have no time to learn [19:14] pokoko222: If you don't mind installing Wine and then Notepad++ on it, you could use that. I do every possible text editing on N++ where possible. [19:14] bang0: That... I cannot answer. :X [19:14] ok [19:14] ubottu> Programming editors/suites: I code everything i do in GNU/MC --learn!

Anyone have any idea as to what the problem could be? [19:19] Hey folks, can anyone answer this question for me: On a ubuntu box, for some reason. cat /proc/cpuinfo reports the mhz of the proc is 2000 sometimes, when the speed is actually 2500, after a reboot it usually goes back to being 2500, what would cause this [19:19] Where in the filesystem is a common place to store menu icons?

[20:30] is that in a config file somewhere I can delete? [20:30] smb related? [20:30] velko: Like, if I wanted to create a second partition and install windows on that and have my computer dual boot? [20:30] mikebot, i don't know. i don't use it since a lot of year [20:30] bung: locate the offending computer. smash it to bits with a big hammer. there. removed from "Windows Network" [20:30] mikebot, if you have external cd-rom or usb-image of windows, why not?

How can I make sure I am using the same driver in both versions? [20:31] I have a problem with maverick and my graphics card... I have no options to change refresh (set to 0) or screen resolution (set 1280x1024)... choppy and slow. I have an old graphics card (onboard) i845. The computer is an old T2245 emachine. [20:31] dieselab, I'm from Ukraine. Why? [20:31] Does anyone here have know anything a patching kernels. I have a patch I want to apply, but it's on a webpage & I'm not sure how much of it to select & save as a text file. (start & end lines) http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128978361700898&w=2 [20:31] velko: Oh, here's the most important question: baobab says that my personal folder (/michael) is only 1.7GB, and that 6GB is being used. [20:31] mikebot: you can also install windows via usb stick but it's more complicated. you have to do this via pre-execute environment [20:31] velko: HOw else is that space being used? [20:32] puddles: hmm, I don't even know what that means, ahha. [20:32] mikebot: verify by df -h from commandline [20:32] does anyone know about open office? [20:32] I have no xorg.conf file either. I have tried to use the autocreate method [20:32] BlaDe^: as in ? [20:32] what package is the nvidia drivers in on ubuntu 10.10? [20:32] DasEi: /dev/sda1 6.7G 6.1G 341M 95% / [20:32] BlaDe... what are you trying to do? [20:32] mikebot, ask the tool to "scan the file system". for this you'll need to start it as root [20:32] mikebot: read up on Windows PE ... [20:32] I want to export my chart as a png [20:33] open office is slow [20:33] puddles: Windows PE, OK, thanks. [20:33] mikebot: so got your answer [20:33] I read that you can do it using draw but I can't find draw in apt [20:33] I can't copy/paste it into gimp either [20:33] velko: OK, did that thanks. [20:33] mikebot: it (PE) also comes in useful if you want to update a linux-only laptop's bios (which are windows-based) [20:33] and it says write error if I try and save the document as html (which I assume would save an image too) [20:33] mikebot: you'd make yourself a custom usb stick with windowsPE and use that to update your bios [20:33] velko: root is only 4.5MB?

[20:34] mikebot: very minimally [20:34] DasEi: it does to pdf or html ---- if I try export to html it fails though [20:35] puddles: My problem is that I have to install exam software on my netbook [20:35] mikebot: there are loads of restrictions but you can think of it as "windows livecd" [20:35] BlaDe^: the char is a gif ? [20:35] puddles: Also, do you know why root only takes up 4.5MB? I still can't find where the other 6GB is... [20:35] mikebot: du -ksh /* [20:35] puddles: Ah, OK [20:35] DasEi: I don't know [20:35] puddles: /* is pointless, du is already recursive [20:35] I was trying to set up my Ubuntu install to boot to the command line instead of always booting to GDM, so i ran "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" and it didn't work, but it i cant get past the login screen, even after running "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" What did i do? [20:36] clever: i know, i never bothered to figure out the most optimized set of options, not OCD (CDO) enough [20:36] puddles: du /* will skip hidden directorys in / [20:36] puddles: IS there a way to do du -ksh and have the output saved into a text file instead of displayed?

[20:37] mikebot, yes. just append "> myfile.txt" to the end of your command and the output will be saved to myfile.txt in your current working directory [20:37] i have also tried the dpkg-reconfigure... but there is no setup screens. The last time I did this in Debian there were screens so I expect to see some of them in Ubuntu as well. [20:37] velko: Thank you.

[20:43] i can't find a way to connect to the internet after different console settings [20:44] velko: nope [20:44] guys, my ubuntu won't reboot or shutdown, what should i do ??? [20:44] btw, I found terminal in applications now [20:44] but one thing, I can't right click my desktop [20:44] nothing seems to work [20:44] I ran "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" and cant get past my login screen even after running "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" HOW DO I FIX THIS? [20:44] Terminal will not beep, when using screen. Like screen is eating the bell character. (Ubuntu 10.04) Has anyone got an idea? [20:45] mikebot, and what makes you believe that more disk space is used? [20:45] mikebot, you may try also "df -h" to see the usage in all your partitions [20:46] meowsus; what do you mean by "can't get past login screen"? [20:46] puddles, i click my user and type my password, the screen flashes black and some text appears very quickly, then right back to the login screen [20:47] meowsus: something's wrong with your home dir or the dot-directories in your home dir :-) i'd read ~/.xsession-errors [20:47] After coming out of suspend, my top toolbar is completely white, clicking on it seems to work (drops menus and stuff), but I can't see what I'm clicking on. [20:47] Ubuntu 9.10 [20:48] meowsus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, and which grafics/driver do you use ? [20:48] velko: I'm supposed to have 6GB [20:48] ThisBeMyNick, i think that screen just uses visual bell instead of sound [20:48] mikebot, does "df -h" also say so? [20:48] DasEi, trying now... nVidia [20:48] aeronius: "xrefresh" ? [20:48] velko: Disk Usage Analyzer says: "Total filesystem capacity: 6.7 GB (used: 6.0 Gb available: 688.1 MB)" [20:49] should I type that in a terminal? [20:49] meowsus: additional try sudo nvidia-xconfig [20:49] velko: Yes: /dev/sda1 6.7G 6.1G 341M 95% / [20:49] velko: I checked that visual bell is on. [20:49] aeronius: yeah [20:50] meowsus: else dmesg | less or the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log coul give more hints [20:50] velko: Also, of that apparently free 600MB, when I open a folder, the bottom of the folder states that there is only 340MB free. [20:50] should i install ubuntu on the system (instead of live try) to make the usb modem internet work? [20:50] hi there! [20:50] ok, I did it, it didn't say anything, and nothing happened as far as I can tell [20:50] DasEi, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm didn't work, neither did sudo nvidia-xconfig [20:51] mikebot: that's normal (you don't have ability to use up all available space as some of that is reserved for root user) [20:51] Except now the nVidia logo pops up when the screen goes black [20:51] mikebot: did you figure out which of the top-level directory was responsible for the most usage? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [20:51] meowsus: did you change anything in before ? [20:51] puddles: http://pastebin.com/UTsFx4MF [20:52] puddles: I'm still not sure where the rest of the 6.7GB went (the only big things that showed up are 1.7GB, and 2x600MB) [20:52] mikebot: well that's reasonable no? 3GB in /usr and 1.7G in /home ? [20:52] hi, is there any way to know where is installed a library (with a shell command) ? [20:52] mikebot: dude, you missed the /usr ? [20:52] puddles: did you see that? [20:52] puddles: Ah, I missed the 3GB [20:52] mikebot, from the "du" output one can see that /usr takes 3GB, /home almost 2GB and /lib and /var combined one more. so what is the problem? [20:52] puddles: What stuff is in usr/? [20:52] I have a question. When my laptop is almost out of the battery I can see the message: "Your battery is critically low" and the two buttons: "OK" and "Cancel". What is the difference between these buttons in this case??? [20:53] mikebot: bins, libraries, icons, pictures, *stuff* :-) [20:53] DasEi, I found an article online about making Ubuntu boot to CLI instead of gdm at boot, it said to run "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" that didn't work - it booted to the login screen where i'm having the issue. so i ran "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" but the problem didnt go away === NG_ is now known as ng_ [20:53] mikebot, /usr is for installed programs. most of your system resided there === dib_ is now known as dib76 [20:53] puddles: Not like pictures, music, etc., right? Is there a way to purge that folder? [20:53] mikebot: it's system directory dude :-) sure, you can "purge" if you wanted. probably have a very borked system afterwards [20:54] mikebot: why not just uninstall packages you don't need? [20:54] meowsus: as a dirty workaround install xdm, so can then still go after your gdm error [20:54] hey [20:54] meowsus: type in "init 1" [20:54] meowsus: sudo apt-get install xdm, in the dialog change to xdm [20:55] hi [20:55] puddles: Is there a command to uninstall unused ones? Or an interface which allows me to install games, etc? [20:55] meowsus: while you're at it, check out /etc/inittab and runlevels [20:55] mikebot: synaptics [20:55] (no "s" at the end) [20:56] puddles: Is there a wya to sort that by pre-installed games, etc." [20:56] ? [20:56] hi, for some reason most of the pthread man pages are in glibc-doc, but not pthread_create, can anyone suggest what package to install? [20:56] anyone knows how to change password of "su" command [20:56] DasEi, there is no /etc/inittab... [20:56] please give me configuration for firewall [20:56] mikebot: games don't take much room. desktop environments do. did you install both gnome and kde or something? [20:56] does anyone have any idea how to remove something from the "Windows Network" part of "Network" in the File Browser? [20:57] meowsus: puddles tip, but if you're there, try dpkg, too, more by chance of luck [20:57] mactavish, use the passwd-command [20:57] explain a bit [20:57] puddles: Not sure, how can I check that> [20:57] meowsus: puddles wanted you to investigate /etc/init from there, little tricky I'd think [20:58] does anyone knows lighscribe command to run app ? [20:58] guys, my ubuntu won't reboot or shutdown, what should i do ??? [20:58] mikebot: i don't think you're gonna get much below 3GB ... maybe 2.7-ish if you're lucky [20:58] After coming out of suspend, my top toolbar is completely white, clicking on it seems to work (drops menus and stuff), but I can't see what I'm clicking on. Ubuntu 9.10 [20:58] mikebot: drives are cheap these days, dude :-) [20:58] superbenjo: can you open aterminal ? [20:58] yeah [20:58] puddles: what about the 538MB in var? [20:58] dasei: /etc/inittab [20:58] yes dasei [20:58] puddles: this is a netbook... I have an external, but can't move any of the crap on here to it... [20:59] puddles, i'm checking out dpkg now [20:59] superbenjo: try sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -h now [20:59] puddles: I have no personal files on this thing except for some school docs [20:59] meowsus: what do you know ... where did inittab go ? :-) [20:59] meowsus: apologies ... debian must have done a switcheroo and done away with /etc/inittab [20:59] puddles, ... no idea [21:00] DasEi : i have tried that, and didn't work...i always use ctrl+alt+del at the end [21:00] ha, new thing to investigate [21:00] puddles, nope. i'm sitting on debian squezee and there is a /etc/inittab on my system [21:00] velko: no /etc/inittab on my 10.10 [21:00] puddles: the old /etc/inittab is depreceated, upstart is handling many services now [21:00] velko: so what did ubuntu do? :-) [21:00] puddles, so maybe ubuntu is doing the switcheroo? ;) [21:01] ah [21:01] puddles, i don't know [21:01] my ubuntu always stuck on a black page,,,and won't reboot or shutdon [21:01] changes keep things interesting. the other day i was looking for /etc/shadow on a mac [21:02] instead it's like "netutils" or some such [21:02] velko: puddles: I'm giving up,... thanks for the help. Have a nice day. [21:02] mikebot: well, ok, so you're low on space ... what's the issue? [21:02] lightscribe,does any one knows how to run it ? [21:02] is installed but i guess is a terminal app ?

[21:04] puddles: What does that do? [21:04] puddles: turn down root-reserved percentage to zero, all yours [21:05] puddles: I don't want to prevent the system from running correctly, but does it take 6GB to run? [21:05] mikebot: no, it takes about 3-4GB to run. you keep missing gigs here and there :-) [21:05] mikebot: you have 1.7GB in your home [21:06] mikebot, hey i have an idea. are there any .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives by any chance? [21:06] puddles: Is there anything in home that the OS needs? If I delete the whole folder she will run correctly?

[21:08] velko: Because I cannot delete those files [21:09] mikebot, puddles gives you a command to not do it manually. but it does not hurt to delete them manually [21:09] mikebot, yes you have to be root [21:09] (sudo apt-get clean) [21:09] mikebot, just prepend sudo to puddles command [21:09] you can delete root files if u r root user [21:09] Hi [21:09] Hey quick question I know there is a program that breaks the system on purpose can anyone point me towards it [21:10] velko: puddles: OK, thanks.

Chatter about who you sit next to on planes is more suited for the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. But do mind the swearing there too. [21:14] mikebot: exactly what it said, "directory not empty" so not deleting the directory as a way to prevent you from doing something you might regret. [21:14] Nothign in /home/test could be impostant, right? [21:14] elky: ok [21:14] see ya in a bit [21:14] mikebot: you're fine then. [21:14] rmdir only removes empty directories, rm -r recursivly removes the directory and its content mikebot [21:15] Maddeth: Thanks. [21:15] bastidrazor: Thank you. [21:15] mikebot, bastidrazor always remember that you can build a potentially dangerous command with "ls" appending the arguments (ls /path/to/argument) to see the results of your command before you actually execute it. [21:15] mikebot, it's stuff put either by you in this directory or by someone who used this computer. i'ts not system related. the decision to prune it is all yours [21:15] * LoganJRuff won't run rm -r commands without checking the results using ls first... just to be safe. >_> [21:16] After coming out of suspend, my top toolbar is completely white, clicking on it seems to work (drops menus and stuff), but I can't see what I'm clicking on.
