[00:00] hmm ok, becuase I use a program called "emesene" and the latest stable version of that is 1.6.3 it had a major bug fix fromt he previous version 1.6.1 apparently [00:00] but in my ubuntu software list i only get the old one 1.6.1 [00:00] Aer: if the developer of the software doesn't update it [00:00] i had to download the new version manually [00:00] hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA [00:00] and submit the new one to the repos [00:00] it wont' show up as new [00:00] Aer: possibly because it's not been packaged or wont be packaged, what is the bug fix ? [00:00] there was a bug in the old version where the transfer speeds of sending files was limited to 5kb/s [00:01] the new version fixed that so you could send/receive files at faster speeds [00:01] * MrDudle giggles [00:01] Aer: the developer probably didn't repackage it for the repos [00:01] Aer: if you look on the new version on their website, they call it "unstable" for ubuntu, so it won't be packaged unless it's stable [00:01] so only the 1.6.1 is there [00:01] i thought 2.0 was unstable ? [00:01] Does anyone know what you put in for port number when you are trying to setup a new IRC connection? [00:01] the beta one [00:01] !info emsene [00:01] Package emsene does not exist in maverick [00:01] Aer: !info emesene [00:01] oops [00:02] william: 6667 is common [00:02] !info emesene [00:02] emesene (source: emesene): platform independent MSN Messenger client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.3-1 (maverick), package size 2647 kB, installed size 7904 kB [00:02] !info emesene [00:02] Aer: in ubuntu 10.10 1.6.3 is released [00:02] Anyone available to explain how to use the new kernel drivers instead of LIRC? [00:03] hmm so howcome that version isnt available as an update on my 10.04 system ? :s is it becuase the developer hasnt repacjaged it for 10.04 only for 10.10 ? [00:03] Percius: drivers are "drivers" lirc is control software, they are different things [00:03] Percius: using one "instead" of the other doesn't seem right [00:03] sorry if im getting annoying but im still new to linux [00:03] Aer: it's not been backported, [00:03] ahh ok [00:03] it's not been backported, yet [00:03] Aer: it maybe, it may not be, log a request for it on launchpad.net [00:03] Aer: is all good better you ask and get the right info then not ask and give out bad info [00:04] so the software in my ubuntu software centre depends on the developers if when they make a new version they package it for 10.04 as well as 10.10 ? [00:04] Ikonia, as I understand it in the new kernel there is a module to replace the LIRC module built in. It makes the devices show up as Xinput, My ir receiver does indeed show up as that, but I don;t know how to set the scan codes [00:04] becuase i dont think ive seen one update for any of my software apart from firefox yet lol [00:04] Percius: you may be right, but that's not how I understood it [00:04] unless i do manually [00:04] Aer: correct [00:05] hmm ok, thanks starting to understand a bit more now :) [00:05] Aer: it depends on what gets updated/when [00:05] Ikonia, I have been trying to understand it. Everyone says somthing different and I cant get anything to work [00:05] yeah [00:05] I had it working on the old module just fine [00:05] Also, I get "failed to retrieve share list from server" when trying to access other computers on my wlan. [00:05] i was under the impression i had to upgrade my distro each time a new one was available to get new software versions lol [00:06] Aer: eh, it's more or less like that [00:06] huh :s i was just told it wasnt lol XD [00:06] Percius, you can force a "downgrade installation" if the older was working fine.. in synaptic [00:06] hello people .. I have one question .. I'm running 10.04 LTS ony me server with kernel 2.6.32-35 64 bit.. I'm looking for a safe way to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 without compiling it myself .. [00:06] I know about the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa PPA .. but I'm not sure that it contains the server edition of the kernel [00:06] Aer: Ubuntu doesn't update packages to bring you new features (versions). it updates them to bring serious bug and security fixes, though. then there is backports, which provides unsupported updates for a select number of things. [00:06] can anyone tell me if adding the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa PPA to my sources list will upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 server version or will i get the standard desktop version of the kernel ? [00:06] konni: why do you need to upgrade [00:07] Aer: you dont have to but with EOL you will lose official support [00:07] LeGrand, I can use 10.04 and not have issues, but I am trying to figure out the new kernel mode. [00:07] is my Atari 520ST ubuntu compatible? [00:07] hmm LjL, so your saying my software in my Ubuntu Software centre will only get updated if there is a fix for a serious security bug ? [00:07] because my dvb-t TV card does only work with the 2.6.35 kernel which i use to broadcast tv channels via mumudvb to my network [00:07] T0X|C: please don't be silly [00:08] shcherbak, EOL ? :s [00:08] end of life [00:08] oh [00:08] 10.04 is still going though it has 3 yrs support right ? [00:08] Aer: yes, although i guess it's possible (don't quote me on this) for particularly high-profile packages such as Firefox to get updates if the high sphere deem it worth it. but generally speaking, unless there's a backport, you aren't getting a new version of things. [00:08] oh :( thats what bothers me lol i cant get automatic updates :( [00:08] Percius, oh ok. Then I can't help... ^^ [00:09] unles si do it manually [00:09] konni: what card is it ? [00:09] Aer, most of the time though, latest does not equal better. [00:09] HVR-1700 pci-ex [00:09] LeGrand, Thanks for trying. My ir card is detected so I would like to "Do it right" [00:09] Aer: nope, you have to find new repos. what wersion? [00:09] true, but i like keeping my software i use up to date lol using ht elatest stable releases :P [00:09] *version* [00:10] the tuning functionality is broken with the current kernel .. but works on my desktop machine running 10.10 [00:10] version of what shcherbak ? [00:10] my ubuntu distro or ? [00:10] konni: I'm showing support in 2.6.29 [00:10] good night, can someone help me, i cant run any kind of binary that is not installed from the reps, neither run script this way: ./script.sh. I have to run them like this: bash script.sh. Neither tab completes my binaries or scripts, like it does not detects them as executables (it is not a permission issue, also tried everything) [00:10] how shall I install the compile for pascal? [00:10] ubuntu, Aer [00:10] im using 10.04 LTS [00:10] Aer: then you might want to pick a so-called "rolling release" distribution, one where there aren't big releases every 6 months as such, but everything gets updated smoothly. of course, you will pay that in terms of stability. [00:10] im sure i read 10.04 LTS will be supported for 3 yrs [00:10] Aer: yes, LTS does mean that [00:11] Aer: it will receive security and bug fixes for 3 years - 5 for the server packages [00:11] More specifically, I only get the "failed to retrieve share list from server" when attempting to connect to my desktop, but not the other one on the network (mother's, not the one I want) Why is this? I assume it has something to do with my desktop being windows... Also, for when my wifi is getting interference and slowing down, would someone help me set up for a direct connection via ethernet? [00:11] Can anyone tell me what files are in their /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d? I'm trying to figure out how to fix my boot sequence. [00:11] LjL i tried one of them on my laptop the other day, tried arch linux, didnt go well lol XD im not good enough with linux yet :( i got it all up and running perfect but couldnt get my wireless workign on it :/ [00:11] Aer: I am not sure our discussion serve the purpose... [00:11] yes .. but after alot of investigation and googling around .. ppl are saying the kernel 2.6.32 breaks the tuning functionality on the card [00:11] huh ? [00:11] Aer: then i suggest you stay on Ubuntu for a while if it works well enough for you, and at least for the time being, forget about having the latest stuff. later on you can switch to something else better suited to your tastes. [00:12] ikonia: and I've verified it works with 10.10. on my other machine [00:12] boch: $PATH? [00:12] yeah i switched my laptop back to ubuntu after 2 days of not being able to get my wireless working lol [00:12] shcherbak, neither, even i call with absolute path and says permission denied [00:12] konni: I'd upgrade the release then [00:12] Aer: keep in mind that if at some point you really want the latest version of something important, there usually are unofficial, unsupported and possibly broken repositories (mostly PPA, "personal package archives" on launchpad) with that software. [00:12] i dont mind not being able to update my programs automatically so much its just a little annoying when i dont know how to do it manually becuase im unsure of what to do with the source tarball sometimes :/ [00:13] although my other machine is running 32 bit instead of 64 bit .. but i'm pretty sure its a kernel issue .. as with the hvr-3000 and hvr-4000 cards [00:13] yeah ive used a PPA and its worked good for me so far :) used a PPA for my nvidia graphics card driver [00:13] Aer: it's best not to touch the source tarballs at all if possible, but rather hunt for packages. often enough those do exist. [00:13] boch: chmod 744 [00:13] How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? [00:13] hmm liek a .deb file ? instead of a tarball ? [00:13] Aer: actually, using a PPA for the graphics driver is often a terrible idea :P i'd stick to the default ones. [00:13] Aer: I really would not be using ppa's for things like nvidia [00:13] oh ok XD [00:14] ikonia: I'd really want to stick with a LTS release on that server .. is there no other option upgrading the kernel than to update my server to 10.10. ? [00:14] Aer: a .deb file will do, but you need to pay attention that it's actually a .deb file for your Ubuntu version (and not for another version, or for Debian, as that can cause trouble) [00:14] in my defence i didnt know, i havent long been tryign to make the switch from windows to linux [00:14] ohh ok [00:14] konni: I wouldn't due to headers/abi personally [00:14] Aer, generally speaking, as long as you get third-party packages for *end-user software*, that doesn't tend to cause trouble, but you should leave libraries, drivers and things like that alone. [00:14] fseratti@pensacola:~$ chmod 744 test.sh [00:14] fseratti@pensacola:~$ ./test.sh [00:14] bash: ./test.sh: Permission denied [00:14] fseratti@pensacola:~$ [00:15] boch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] ok [00:15] boch: use sudo [00:15] boch: I suggest you read https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of using ubuntu [00:15] ikonia: i c .. when can one expect the 2.6.35 kernel to be available via the upstream channel ? [00:15] konni: I wouldn't expect it at all [00:15] damn [00:15] thanks for all the info though guys :) and sorry if ive annoyed anyone with noob questions xD still not sure of certain things with linux :P I will get it right one day ;D [00:16] Hello, How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? [00:16] Guys, did anyone experienced ICQ issues in Empathy? Please PM me. [00:16] hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA [00:16] boch: if you want to make test.sh executable for someone else than its owner, 744 won't do. who's the owner? "ls -l test.sh" will tell you [00:16] ikonia, i use linux for more than 8 years, this is weird, reminds me when broking libc and binary files werent detected as well. this is a fresh ubuntu 10.10 installation [00:17] LjL, im the owner [00:17] but bash test.sh works? [00:17] check the shebang [00:17] ikonia: here is my post on the forums .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1623304 ..unfortunately i have not received any reply .( [00:18] although i got one last question if its ok it jumps back to my original question, about installing a tarball, i downloaded it for the new version of qbittorrent and i read the readme file and it says i need to do ./configure but i get a message "Verifying Qt 4 build environment ... fail" [00:18] Reason: Unable to find the 'qmake' tool for Qt 4 [00:18] Aer: I wouldn't do it [00:18] hmm ok :( [00:18] Aer: if you've listened to what's been said you are making a bad call [00:18] hello everyone [00:19] Aer: you have no reason to get the "later" version beyond it having a bigger number [00:19] Aer: you've aready said you are new and don't know what you're doing, so why not follow advice ? [00:19] boch: does sh test.sh works? [00:19] Aer, do you really absolutely need the latest version of qbittorrent? [00:19] im gonna follow it, i was just curious becuase when i last tried to do it thats wher ei got stopped [00:19] im just curious why that happens xD [00:20] have anyone tried compiling ubuntu from src code ? I need hint plz [00:20] LjL, everyone knows the shiny new thing is the one that should be in the repos =P [00:20] hi, i need bring back my grub2 for ubuntu10.10 64 bit. please give me the link for that. [00:20] Aer, you probably needed to install qt4-qmake [00:20] shcherbak, works pretty fine [00:20] Can anyone tell me what files are in their /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d? I'm trying to figure out how to fix my boot sequence. It hangs after a certain phase, and I'm trying to think of what happens after it. [00:20] and would like to know how to do this type of stuff for future reference i can use linux fine with gui but id like to know how to do all the command line stuff in terminal to :P [00:20] hmm ok [00:20] shcherbak, this is weid, because even tab completion wont complete the script name, despite i have rights to execute... [00:20] Aer: you shouldn't beed to know [00:20] How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? [00:20] Aer: there is very little reason to compile software [00:20] ill leave it for now though and use the easy one from the software centre lol [00:20] LBaroudi, the *whole* of Ubuntu from source code? why on *earth* would you do that? [00:21] DID ANYONE SOLVE ICQ ISSUE IN EMPATHY CLIENT? [00:21] streamex: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [00:21] boch: it does seem quite weird [00:21] How do I reload my panels? === shakil is now known as St0n3-C0l [00:21] streamex: we don't need the caps lock [00:21] songer, no bots/scripts here please [00:21] !caps | streamex also try #empathy [00:21] streamex also try #empathy: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [00:21] boch: hm, first think comes to me is bashrc, but.... [00:21] LJ I just love it and want to do that deep [00:21] hmm but im an IT guy lol XD i can use windows np and do all the advanced stuff etc went to college and uni etc and now looking for a job in computers but i have seen a few good jobs working with linux but i need to get better with it before i even think about applying to a job using linux lol [00:22] LBaroudi, you love Ubuntu so much you want to compile the whole thing from source? [00:22] LBaroudi: well this is probably not the best channel to ask that anyway, try #ubuntu-offtopic or something [00:22] so ive installed ubuntu and trying to get as good on linux as i am with windows :P [00:22] o.O [00:22] ikonia, at least NOW you noticed. [00:22] How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? [00:22] Aer: then you will soon learn that you don't have to compile stuff [00:22] does wine run ie? [00:22] streamex: yes, but I'm ignoring the question due to your caps [00:22] hmm ok [00:22] shcherbak, should not be, i should be able to exec any binary, with relative or absolute path [00:22] Aer, why would you settle for only a level of Windows competency when there's so much more potential here? [00:22] lol thank you guys I wana do that because its there why not trying it [00:23] huh ? what you mean LoganJRuff ? :s [00:23] ikonia, i asked before with lower case. nobody noticed. [00:23] LBaroudi, the source code isn't really there for that... [00:23] streamex: they did, - they just didn't know the answer, [00:23] How do I increase the amount of space available in wine? [00:23] wow why is it for then dear ? [00:23] iRabbit: stop asking every 5 seconds, try #winehq if you're not getting the answer you want [00:23] ikonia you dont think compiling stuff would be needed in a work environment then ? [00:23] Aer, There's a lot more potential in a *nix box than a windows box. Why settle only for a level of competency comparable to Windows when you can do so much more? [00:23] i mean what else can someone do with src code [00:23] Aer: no [00:23] THIS IS A TEST [00:23] ikonia, i asked if somebody solved the issue of ICQ protocol in empathy, the answer is YES or NO. [00:23] LjL: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [00:23] ikonia: ^ [00:23] ikonia: Thank you [00:24] ok [00:24] ikonia, i dont think it's hard to type 2 or 3 letters [00:24] LBaroudi, it's there for reference, patching, etc. [00:24] streamex: 1400 people typing "no" - not good [00:24] need advice...looking to buy hi-def camcorder...must be able to stream in Ubuntu [00:24] streamex: if someone knows, they will type the letters [00:24] neiliob1973: look for one with linux support then [00:24] hmm cus i know pretty much what i need with windows now for a decent to good job in computers using windows [00:25] logan thanks but it can also be for it cant it ? i am surprized no one can compile it [00:25] You either reference it when building packages, patches, etc or you compile bits of it at a time to suit specific needs. No one just grabs the lot of it and compiles the whole thing into a working system just for giggles. [00:25] but im trying to get a job nearer to my gf so we can move in together but most of the IT jobs round there are linux based, the good ones atleast so im trying to get as pro with linux as i am with windows [00:25] Aer: this channels just for support, try to keep to that topic please. [00:25] just think it would be good career wise to be pro with more than one operating system [00:25] ikonia, how profound...do u know of a brand that does? [00:25] * LjL points Aer to #ubuntu-offtopic :P [00:25] how do I install free pascal? [00:25] sorry >.< was just answerign soemoens question [00:25] neiliob1973: no [00:25] LBaroudi, we're not saying "No one can compile it", it can be there for that too - but it's impractical and a waste of a good hacker's time. Why not express your love for Ubuntu by helping out building packages, patches, working on pre-release candidates, etc? [00:26] emerson_: sudo apt-get install fp-compiler [00:26] ikonia, nvm [00:26] ikonia, thx anyway [00:26] hola [00:26] emerson_: or perhaps you want fp-ide. try "apt-cache search free pascal" for a list of related packages [00:26] Aer, http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/introduction_to_linux/index.html & http://linuxcommand.org/ [00:26] !spanish | der [00:26] der: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Welcome to Linux, Ubuntu, and the FOSS movement. =) [00:27] LjL: Thanks .... [00:27] hello all. I installed java under wine in order to play spades on yahoo but as soon as I go to yahoo firefox just freezes. Am I doing something wrong? is this possible to do? TIA [00:27] what is the Linux equivalent command for "tracert"? [00:27] LBaroudi, what's your first language? [00:27] 'free open source software' right ? ;D [00:28] iRabbit: i think "tracepath" is the one installed by default these days [00:28] logan lol Arabic [00:28] Aer, right [00:28] LjL: thank you [00:28] nimbiotics: or you could just use the nativ firefox and install java to it [00:28] :) [00:28] iRabbit: or, just type "trace" and then TAB :P [00:28] * cwillu stabs LjL with a wastrel [00:28] java plugin* [00:28] iRabbit: traceroute is also a good one if you want to install it [00:28] I mean like asp. and dot net things [00:28] cwillu: at least he's not here :P [00:28] LjL: thank you very much [00:28] LoganJRuff, can u point me in a direction for help with camcorders & Ubunut?

If you don't know the answer, then it's not a stupid question. =D [00:31] BedMan: Thank you very much [00:31] iRabbit, did you want a command-line tool or a point and click tool? and did you want to check the filesystem, or check the disk itself? [00:31] lol ok :D thanks :P [00:31] (fsck only checks the filesystem) [00:31] cya :) [00:31] cwillu, fsck doesn't check my monitor status ? *gasp* =O [00:31] Later Aer [00:31] cwillu: whatever the windows equivalent to a full scan disk is [00:32] LoganJRuff, scandisk does both disk and filesystem [00:32] iRabbit, system menu -> administration -> disk utility [00:32] How can I get my bars at the top and bottom to go back to the default?

[00:33] lol logan I like it thanks [00:34] cwillu: so sudo smartctl [00:34] iRabbit, man smartctl will give the docs on it (you might want to look at the disk utility at the same time, just to understand some of it) [00:34] cwillu: alright, I'll check it out, thanks again [00:34] iRabbit, also, the apropos command is useful for finding out commands to try, at least for stuff that's installed by default [00:34] [00:35] [00:35] logan I also want to take other src and add it to ubuntu like firewall I dont want to install other distibutio in my place other than ubuntu [00:35] How does the apropos command work? I just learned of it today [00:35] THNX, guys! [00:36] LoganJRuff: how to use it you mean? [00:36] LBaroudi, do you know how to code? [00:36] iRabbit, smart will tell you about any read/write errors that the drive has corrected or experienced, which the operating system wouldn't otherwise even notice. It can often tell you lots of additional stuff, max temperature the drive has reached, number of times the drive has done an emergency drivehead park (i.e., from a sudden impact), etc [00:36] jrib, yes - I checked the man page, but I'm a bit too dumb for it. Just a quick overview? [00:36] jrib, you are a genius, thank you very much [00:36] LoganJRuff, "apropos smart" as an example [00:36] boch: no problem [00:36] cwillu, yeah, and then I see an output I am not sure of? [00:37] xangua: what is the other plugin you metioned? [00:37] [logan@Lachance ~]$ apropos smart [00:37] page_revoke (3) - Revocation methods There are two revocation method for... [00:37] scdaemon (1) - Smartcard daemon for the GnuPG system [00:37] LoganJRuff: I really only know what the first two sentences of its description in the man page says [00:37] LoganJRuff, "man scdaemon" will give you that man page [00:37] nimbiotics: that one, like flash [00:37] LoganJRuff, "man 1 scdaemon" if there was more than one [00:37] can't remembeer how is called, only works in windows nim [00:37] nimbiotics: * [00:37] So if I am looking for a command and am unsure of it's name, I can apropos and it will return an applicable string...? [00:37] LoganJRuff, apropos only searches the description, not the entire manpage though, so it's not quite a google search :p [00:38] xangua: i have no idea what u r talking about :/ [00:38] I justed picked up my CRAY XMT. Can't wait to get esxi installed [00:38] logan no I am bad coder I can somehow read code ;) [00:38] nobody home in #winehq :(, I'm a gaming nerd and want to play WoW with Ubuntu. I read a tutorial that states to cop and paste the WoW folder into Wine... Wine says I only have 11.5GB available and need to know how to increase that space.. anyone? [00:38] LBaroudi, to implement new code alongside existing code you will need to know what you're doing. === xnavor_ is now known as xnavor [00:38] cwillu, oh, ok.

[00:42] LoganJRuff: thx [00:42] iRabbit, and then tell me how you were copying the wow folder [00:42] cwillu: sure be a sec [00:42] logan I need good tools first to load the code and a good compiler then I can start by reading others code then post question blah blah ...

Try to remove files to make space. 6.9GB avail 29.1 GB required [00:45] kish, x remoting is terribly sensitive to network latency, and vnc is terribly bandwidth inefficient [00:46] nx is good, but a pain to get steup [00:46] setup [00:46] ok guy i got wine installed and i got my disk in the cd drive i done wine /media/name of disk via tab and i get wine invalid handle, how can i get wine to install my sims3 disk? [00:46] i thought nx was just remote x [00:46] not vnc like [00:46] iRabbit, in a terminal, run these commands: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; df -h | pastebinit" [00:46] iRabbit, that'll give you a link, which you should give to me [00:47] asdf. [00:47] asdf. [00:47] hey guys, can i have two server_names for a server config? [00:47] kish, nx inserts a proxy between them, and uses a completely different protocol over the network, in order to eliminate as many round-trips as possible [00:48] alex87: if you are talking about apache, #httpd is probably your best bet [00:48] ah [00:48] kish, i.e., x remoting is only happening to the local nx server or client, and something completely is happening between the close and far sides [00:48] jrib, thanks... wrong channel [00:48] iRabbit, thanks [00:48] cwillu: welcome [00:48] iRabbit, it's fine to paste that into this channel, I'll tell you if I'm going to grab anything sensitive [00:49] iRabbit, did you install with wubi?

[00:49] it works on everything from unix to windows to dos [00:50] cwillu: Wine, WoW, or... [00:50] iRabbit, no, I mean when you installed ubuntu\ [00:50] cwillu: I used the Windows install thingy...installed from windows [00:50] iRabbit, okay, that's the source of our trouble [00:50] cwillu: uh oh [00:51] iRabbit, you're copying the wow folder into your home folder, but your home folder lives in a giant file on c: [00:51] * cwillu ponders a moment [00:51] anyone know how to use a digital camera as a webcam in ubuntu?

[00:52] cwillu: right, but I have tons of space.... can I make the mount point of this wine thing somewhere else? [00:52] iRabbit, yep, that's what I was pondering :p [00:52] cwillu: yes, I would like the mount point on the 2nd HDD D: [00:52] iRabbit, how long have you been using this install? [00:52] cwillu: thats where Ubuntu is installed [00:52] cwillu: 4 days [00:53] okay [00:53] hey guys. For some odd reason, this game called xmoto won't work. It worked earlier today, so I dont know... The error was: There is no soundcard. fatal exception: unable to open database file. I am currently running ubuntu netbook.

[00:53] ShrekLappy, get skype [00:53] cwillu: it is.. its on the 2nd HDD [00:54] cwillu: I installed it on D when I ran the windows installer thingy [00:54] iRabbit, check your pm's [00:55] I need to open a port the mysql port on my computer so others on my subnet can connect to my DB.

[01:29] because right now if i select gcc-4.5 it installs only 4.5 (and some of its deps) leaving 4.4 in place :( [01:29] ok open terminal and type iwconfig [01:30] also, if i try to remove gcc-4.4 it tries to remove a lot of packages [01:30] where are the mount points for an external USB HD found? they're not in /media [01:30] i'm trying to do a masquerade nat thingy on openvpn + ubuntu.

[01:32] how weak for resources do u mean? [01:32] yeats: nope... not there. [01:32] ok one sec [01:32] 1 GB is what I'd like the max it uses be, but I have 2 GB of RAM [01:33] Dual core processor [01:33] A_New_Server: I don't know that much about RPGs in Unix, but I know there are emulators available for Unix. [01:33] i have been wodnering about these extra cores and programming. [01:33] Unix + Linux, should say :) [01:33] how much extra work do you have to do when programming to take advantage of these extra cores [01:34] you didn't really have to think about it much a while ago and then all of a sudden you do.. [01:34] That's high level stuff, dogarrhea1 [01:34] i know but there's 'threaded' programming [01:34] Not sure if this is right, but from what I can tell you just open up threads [01:34] That call to the different processors [01:34] divided, it has an antenna right [01:34] soooo you basically have to do a lot of work [01:34] and whenever new hardware comes out like a hex core [01:34] hiexpo: ues [01:34] *yes [01:35] you gotta refactor your code a LOT? [01:35] hiexpo: but it's kinda busted (still works tho) [01:35] and write a different version for each different processor? [01:35] ok [01:35] seems like a pain in the ass === eminem is now known as Guest36980 [01:35] Yup [01:35] dogarrhea1: It depends on how focused your code was on being specifically dual-core as opposed to being generally parallelizable. [01:36] hello. would someone please help. i'm stuck with getting wireless on my laptop [01:36] divided, what ver ubuntu u on [01:36] 10.04 [01:36] so you're saying it basically depends on the problem [01:36] if it's paralellizable or not.... [01:36] BlueBomber, you said you don't know that much about RPGs, does that mean you know of any good ones that won't dump on my resources? :] [01:37] Has anyone used subsonic? === Guest36980 is now known as ummmmm [01:37] or cast in a light that shows its parallelization.. BUT that begs the question, if not all problems are parallelizable, why are they continuning to put even more cores and more cores [01:37] I'm saying porting existing code effectively depends on your original design. Designing something from square one for more cores is different. [01:37] hey what can i use to scan a folder full of text files for a certain phrase? [01:38] i can't get wireless to work [01:38] well try some rpgs out? [01:38] divided, looks like there is a bug i am searching it [01:38] Also, idc if it's multiplayer, I mainly want single player [01:38] blind: you scanning file names or file contents? [01:38] parallel computing is still kind of "new" in "computer science" (if youc an call it a science) [01:38] I have an xbox for MMO :] [01:38] BlueBomber: contents [01:38] I use grep with file globbing. [01:38] file globbing? [01:38] is there anything in ubuntu that optimizes for cores if you don't even think about coding simultaneous tasks? [01:38] hiexpo: thanks, I might have to run soon, so if you find anything, msg me, i'll be on [01:38] Yeah, e.g. *.jpg [01:38] oh [01:38] hiexpo: i'll be on a little later [01:39] Or *.odt, etc. [01:39] i always forget how powerful grep is [01:40] dogarrhea1: the kernel manages core stuff [01:40] divided, what comes up in iwconfig no rausb [01:40] oops got disconnected [01:40] actionparsnip, I always hear "if you're not doing encoding, multicores dont' do anything" [01:40] hiexpo: what is no rausb [01:40] if it's justa bout encoding, it would seem that multicore stuff is kind of useless for desktop [01:40] humanMeat: i'd say SQL benefitted from multicore [01:41] humanMeat: sql != encoding [01:41] guys discussing parallelisation, please read up on Amdahl's law [01:41] hiexpo: right now, iwconfig shows lo no wireless connections, eth0 no wireless connections [01:41] hiexpo: no wlan0 [01:41] a lot of problems can't be parallelized anyways sooo [01:41] i got nothing on wireless [01:42] divided, pastebin the output for me [01:42] hiexpo: sorry, got booted [01:42] humanMeat: true but in some cases the benefit may be negligible [01:43] hiexpo: so not showing wlan0 in iwconfig [01:43] Parallelization is a good thing! But we aren't yet at the stage that our processors can recognize inherent code parallelism and take advantage of it. Explicit parallelization has a tendenncy to intimidate, unless it's uber-obvious, e.g., in encoding/sql. [01:43] so intel and amd are ripping us off [01:43] no prob i said pastebin the output for me of iwconfig [01:43] "hex core i-920 for 1000$ gogogogo" [01:44] I hope that I don't get the runaround here, as for the past few days I have been researching for a solid way to install some of the "Experimental" compiz fusion plugins. [01:44] humanMeat: i dont have a motherboard newer than year 2000, so it probably wont fly here [01:44] I want the screensaver plugin. Anyone wanna help me out with what to do, what to get etc? [01:45] tiox: I've installed freewins and wizard and a bunch of experimental ones. [01:45] Question: If I have a 64-bit intel processor, should I use the i386 install disk or the amd64 install disc? I'd prefer 64-bit if possible, but I don't want to run into intel/amd issues. [01:45] BlueBomber, what guide did you use? [01:45] BTW, running 10.10 here. [01:45] There's a script out there that someone wrote. IIRC you won't find packages until they're out of experimental phase. [01:45] hiexpo: pastebin.com/3eqtAE67 [01:45] I'm still on 10.04. Lemme see if I can link you, tiox. [01:45] hiexpo: i have to run but i'll be back in around 30 [01:46] JoshJ, there are no intel/amd issues. amd64 is the right iso [01:46] Could not initialize Xv output [01:46] hiexpo: thanks for the help, i'll bbl [01:46] freakabcd, thank you [01:46] intel licenses some (most?) of the 64-bit technology from amd [01:46] does anyone know what's all about [01:46] because their own 64-bit platform Itanium was like the Titanic! [01:46] mtvx: is that in mplayer [01:46] Oh yes, the itanic. [01:47] Loved hearing about that architecture. [01:47] has anyone installed dosbox(with debugger) successfully under IA-64 ? [01:47] van7hu: ive had dosbox on desktop amd64 ubuntu, not the debugger though [01:47] !ubottu install [01:47] ActionParsnip: no it's in Parole Media Player (xubuntu) [01:48] mtvx: try changing the output video method from xv to something else [01:48] aLeSD: try just: !install [01:48] tiox: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/11/script-to-install-incredible-compiz.html [01:48] I believe I used that.

[02:06] Oakk: we can try! [02:06] Oakk, yes [02:06] i mean plugins [02:06] Some_Person: it will be, when pulseaudio starts it makes the folder [02:06] I created an install cd, I rebooted with the cd loading up ok [02:06] maxyjj, sudo apt-get install ccsm (it's a huge config program to set all the different plugins) [02:06] Some_Person: i'd use /home/sam/.pulse* to get the cookie too ;) [02:07] ActionParsnip: I need to delete it after it creates it [02:07] and half way during the boot up process it takes me to shell prompt and gives the error 'can not mount' [02:07] ActionParsnip: Only the folder seems to matter [02:07] I can reboot into it again and get you a detailed error msg if necessary [02:07] i got the ccsm but there not much plugins [02:07] Some_Person: not going to happen, the folder holds the settings. If it is running then the settings have been applied, then you will delete them which does nothing [02:08] ActionParsnip: In case you're wondering, this is a working temporary fix to bug #644644 . It works if I manually delete it after logging in [02:08] maxyjj, Search "compiz" in synaptic. There are a couple packages called plugins-extra and plugins-unsupported or soemthing.

[02:10] maxyjj, in meta packages,, tick restricted extras,, for ubuntu gnome or kde,, depended on your OS [02:10] trojan_spike, That is wrong. [02:10] trojan_spike, He asked for compiz plugins. Not audio codecs [02:10] Some_Person: 20 seconds at a guess [02:10] its ubuntu i got [02:10] Am I not giving you guys enough information? Should I get you the full detailed error message? [02:10] Oakk, That would probably help. [02:11] maxyjj, Default Ubuntu is gnome. [02:11] ? [02:11] ok [02:11] good evening [02:11] trojan_spike, He didn't ask for audio codecs. maxyjj asked for compiz plugins. [02:12] theyre not all to do with codec [02:12] I'm partitioning and formatting a 2TB hard drive in Ubuntu...is there any reason why I should make multiple partitions instead of one big one? [02:12] trojan_spike, They have nothing to do with compiz plugins [02:12] really [02:12] DavidJHeinrich1, If you put home on a separate partition you can install fresh Ubuntu versions with the CD without losing your data. [02:12] ok edbian u know ur stuff [02:12] trojan_spike, really [02:12] trojan_spike, ha, thanks. [02:13] yawn [02:13] trojan_spike, Just trying to help :) Sorry if I came off as rude. I have a feeling I might have after re-reading that. [02:13] edbian: for my main HD with my OS on it, /home is on a separate partition...I"m talking about a separate hard drive just for backing up data [02:13] DavidJHeinrich1, I see no reason not to. [02:13] DavidJHeinrich1, In that case. [02:14] edbian: ok, thanks [02:14] edbian: and is ext4 fine as a filesystem for backing up? [02:14] DavidJHeinrich1, It's not that it's good at backing up data. It's appropriate for the size of the disk. [02:14] DavidJHeinrich1, short answer: yes [02:14] edbian: k, thanks [02:14] DavidJHeinrich1: if you want to split your data up then sure why not, could backup certain media to a certain partition if you like [02:15] Cool. Got it working. Can I get any help on using Subsonic now? [02:15] well, since no reason not to, I'm just gonna put on 1 partition...I don't want to have to figure out how large certain data will be (and almost all of it is photos anyways) [02:16] diff question, it is installed into a SATA hotswap backplane inside of my case...b/c it is a SATA hotswap, is it safe to insert and remove it (after unmounting) with the computer on? [02:16] Can some body help me out with a bash script? I want to find all my Thumbs.db and toss them in the trash. This is what I have so far: [02:16] find /home -iname "thu*.db" | mv /Desktop [02:17] OMG it's still installing. I wonder if anyone would've ever thought to precompile these and release the final result in deb format?? === gidim_anunaki is now known as gidimanunaki [02:17] DavidJHeinrich1, yea [02:17] trojan_spike: cool, so it is basically like a supersized USB stick, then [02:17] teneerf: BleachBit. [02:18] Install it, and you can delete all of your thumbnail files, as well as other uninportant files. [02:18] DavidJHeinrich1, yea,, just be sure to unmount on PC,, because errors could be caused if not.. [02:18] Just don't vacuum your Firefox stuff or you might end up with an undesired result. [02:18] k, thanks a lot! [02:18] tiox: if you avoid settings which say they will take a long time, it will be faster [02:18] sweet...so after I format and backup data to it, I can take it out and put it in my safe [02:18] tiox: I'm trying to get better at bash, so I would rather figure out what I am doing wrong. [02:18] tiox: also close as many apps as you can so the files aren't locked [02:19] tiox: I was talking about installation to get the extra compiz pligins. [02:19] tiox, you want the extra experimental plugins you mean? [02:19] tiox: oh, thought you were on about bleachbit ;) [02:19] No, I simply suggested BleachBit. [02:20] Since someone asked how he could remove all the thumbnail files. [02:20] yes, I just want to learn better cli [02:20] edbian : thanks for the help i got them all === divided|away is now known as divided [02:21] how do i get my xbox 360 controller + mic to work in ubuntu 10.04 [02:21] teneerf: Why learn how to do something trivial a program can do for you, aside from in the instance when you're on a machne you';re not allowed to install extra programs on?

Is there any keyboard input daemon or something that has a bug tracker separate from X server? And generally should I seek assistance at people developing X11 or XFCE? Should I test my case further running different desktop environments? [03:10] how do I clear the passwords rememberd for smb logins from nautilus? [03:11] where si the password manager that saves gnome passwords? [03:11] Guest20352: could try these boot options in various combinations: i8024.reset i8024.nomux=1 irqpoll may help [03:11] Applications>Accessories>Passwords and Encryption keys [03:13] anyone know of a good open source music editing/creation tool? [03:14] ActionParsnip: I think I know why I was getting the permission denied. It was moving the first Thumbs.db to the desktop but when it went to move the second Thumbs.db it had the same file name (Thumbs.db). (Mutitable files with the same file name. [03:14] ) [03:14] ActionParsnip: I used your example and changed mv to rm. It would have been safer to send them to the recycle bin, but didn't know how. [03:14] FunkyDude: there is a whole Ubuntu distribution for it - Ubuntu Studio [03:15] FunkyDude: There are many! Ardour, Audacity, lots of plugins like Hydrogen, LMMS. Check osalt.com [03:16] teneerf: no sure about recycle bins in terminal dude, could ask in #bash [03:16] ty [03:16] lmms rocks :) [03:16] Does anyone in here know if the playstation network is down? [03:17] after using sshfs mount a remote folder and put the computer to sleep, then wake the computer, it takes forever to for "ls" to display the contents that contains the sshfs folder unless I reboot, and re-sshfs. Any advice on solving this? [03:17] so... I'm going crazy with only windows7 starter on my netbook and i would like to do a dual boot with Ubuntu since i've already payed for windows. i'm worried about the grub boot loader not finding windows [03:17] Hello [03:18] ActionParsnip: anyways, just wanted to say thanks, also what does the trailing \; do? [03:18] When we should see a fix for this bug released https://bugs.launchpad.net/autofs/+bug/393012 ? [03:18] pdg1: it should find it fine [03:18] I've got an issue with installing simplescalar. If anyone has any experience with it I would appreciate assistance. [03:18] since the bug fix already released from Samba [03:18] gogeta1 : just install to one of the partitions and set grub to sda? [03:19] pdg1: ubuntu does all of that auto [03:20] is there a GUI front end for GNU Privacy Guard 2? [03:20] pdg1: 1so install to partation you whant to let it install and grub goes to the first drive as defuly and should auto gen a menu with windows on it [03:21] no luck on the BCM4321,its giving me Sorry, the installation of this driver failed. [03:21] teneerf: as far as I know, it escapes the {} bit [03:22] Has anyone here installed simplescalar before? [03:23] gogeta1 : i hope so... i don't know where the recovery partition is :p [03:23] exit [03:23] pdg1: well dont delete recovery and it should find that to [03:23] pdg1: its probly a paration abought 10gb in size [03:23] wow, lmms is pretty cool [03:24] gogeta1 : but i don't know where it is... but i can only assume it's not 58gb [03:24] i have oped that file and don't know Please have a look at the log file for details.: /var/log/jockey.log [03:24] gogeta1 : 16gb sound right? [03:24] pdg1: yea [03:24] pdg1: atm you should have 2 partation recovery and windows [03:24] ActionParsnip: Thanks, like you said, one of these days I want to know enough bash to get around in a server. [03:24] pdg1: maybe 3 if you have express gate [03:25] i have 4 [03:25] pdg1: 4? [03:25] teneerf: its dead handy. You can make scripts and scripts which run collebctions of scripts etc [03:26] gogeta1 : yeah, but one is 21mb [03:26] ActionParsnip: yes, exactly!! [03:26] pdg1: well windows will be the largest and safe to resize [03:27] pdg1: well if you have 3 you should hve windoes recover and express gate [03:27] pdg1:express gate will be like 1gb maybe less [03:28] <__machine> how can i get a later version of a particular package (znc) from backports or something into 8.04 lts? [03:29] pdg1: the safest bet would be to make a recovery dvd in case you did nuke it [03:29] gogeta1 : i have 4. 80GB -windows, 15GB -recovery?, 54.03GB -unsure, and 21MB -notsure [03:29] What would make the clock in gnome lock up but yet the system time still be correct? [03:30] pdg1: well recover whont be 54gb thats for shure [03:30] pdg1: if you have a c and d drive in windows its a storage partation weard for 1 drive thow [03:31] CensoredBiscuit, clock applet just show your system time. itself is not supervising the system time nor hardware clock [03:31] what would make the clock applet lock up? [03:31] CensoredBiscuit, crashes? bugs? [03:32] hmmm... hmmm... [03:32] gogeta1 : i was going to consult the manual... but it was pretty useless [03:32] CensoredBiscuit, you may restart the panel or kill the locked up clock applet and let gnome panel reload it [03:32] pdg1: as i said if you show 2 drives in windows 54gb is probly stoage [03:32] storage [03:33] Clean Install of ubuntu 10.10 unable to add Facebook account to Gwibber [03:35] pdg1: just odd they did that for windows on a defult install [03:35] gogeta1: sounds like sda2 is my best bet [03:36] pdg1: well as i said 15gb is more then likely the recovery [03:36] pdg1: the rest are os [03:37] * tiox wonders what happened to bluebomber [03:37] anyone have any idea how I can fix Gwibber o.0 [03:37] Chr|s, whats wrong?? [03:38] phrix: unable to add any accounts [03:38] pdg1: the 24mb is likely the padding for the drive in case of failed sectors [03:39] I have a mdadm raid1 device mounted as /mnt/filesystem, setup in /etc/fstab... can bind mount /var/ to a directory in /mnt/filesystem? is the mount program cleaver enough to know it must mount the /mnt/filesystem first before the bind mount? [03:39] gogeta1 : thanks :) [03:39] Anyone here make their own custom live CD? [03:40] robojake: umm [03:40] robojake: I did once... found a script on the internet that did most of the work for me. [03:40] hmm [03:40] Chr|s, have you updated it?? [03:40] robojake: you can make anything you whant the question is to gebrel [03:40] phrix: clean install of ubuntu 10.10 didn't think I had too o.0 [03:40] genrel [03:41] I am updating some files now, will try it again aftewards [03:41] maybe you should try... :) [03:42] neil_d: can't you just create a sym link to your your /mnt/filesystem? [03:43] sacarlson: probably... [03:43] I've made my own custom live cd but I can't seem to figure out how to edit the default desktop items, I want some scripts on the desktop and I also want to remove the "install ubuntu" icon [03:43] How can I make ubuntu delete a folder on every login? I tried startup applications but it does it too early [03:44] I got problem with keyring, everytime I log in, the panel says keyring doesnt match always appears... any clue?? === squishy is now known as rbniknej [03:44] robojake: why do you want to remove the install icon? Is this just a live install? or an installer? [03:44] Some_Person: you could use a cron script... === rbniknej is now known as jenkinbr [03:45] neil_d: What's a cron script? [03:45] Chr|s, it is a bit tricky. i just tried it, you have to authorize twice [03:45] it's a recovery live cd tool === jenkinbr is now known as squishy [03:45] with safecopy, testdisk, smbfs installed [03:45] Chr|s, the first time need to enable gwibber app on facebook. and it hasn't add facebook to gwibber account yet. the 2nd time will do [03:46] Some_Person: its a script that get run at definable intervals (min. 1 per minute) it could check for your directory and delete it when found. [03:46] hmm shouldn't have to authorize twice, will try again after updates are done [03:46] join #python [03:46] hello, is there anyone on netbook remix here? [03:47] Some_Person: see http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html [03:47] neil_d: I just want it to run once on login, but not too early [03:47] Does anyone happen to know the name of the VMWare Server GUI, I'd like to start it but have no idea what it is [03:47] VMworkstation [03:48] Command not found, it's the actual server's gui management, not the work station [03:48] robojake: is this just for you? If so, it might be easier to create a persistent live install, and just customize it [03:48] does anyone know what "Too many connections" means on ubuntu startup (before the login screen)? [03:48] Some_Person: maybe run a script from the "Startup Applications" with the first command being "sleep"... the "sleep" command waits around for some time before exiting [03:49] neil_d: How long would I need to wait for pulseaudio to load and recreate ~/.pulse ? [03:51] Some_Person: I don't know... but I would it should do it quickly... try "sleep 5" for a 5 second delay... otherwise you could put the script in a loop (with a "sleep 1" in it) until the directory does appear then delete it and exit [03:52] Some_Person: are you waiting for pulseaudio to load? redundent question, but is that what you are doing? === Raikia_ is now known as Raikia [03:53] How do u defrag? [03:54] ChogyDan: I need to delete the .pulse folder, but not so early that it gets recreated when pulseaudio loads [03:54] ChogyDan: It's a temporary fix for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/644644 [03:54] How do u defrag?????????????????????

How should [03:56] How should i increase disk space [03:56] ? [03:57] ??? [03:58] ^ [03:58] Hi all, how to copy files starting with a . using cp? [03:59] ranjan: I believe you can escape the . [03:59] Some_Person: on, maybe you could make an upstart script with something like start on started pulseaudio /n exec /bin/sleep 30 /n exec rm the_file [03:59] for example, if you have a file ".bash_history" [03:59] Some_Person: s/on/ok/ [03:59] cp \.bash_history ~/Desktop [03:59] Raikia, but i am copying recursively [03:59] i've got an ssl cert from a legitimate source, and i'd like openssl to work with it, where should I configure it all?

Can you give me an example?

OK, how does one connect to a windows workgroup from ubuntu gui... I know it's a stupid question, but things just aren't working [04:04] Hello.

I wasn't doing anything particularly unusual and I noticed both Banshee and Pidgin seemed to have froze. I tried to bring up several things to end the programs, but nothing would work. After several minutes a few new messages seemed to have appeared in Pidgin, but right after that it froze again. I decided it wasn't worth waiting and just pressed the off switch on my PC. When [04:23] I tried to load Ubuntu again after turning it back on it told me I had errors with my hard drive. I then restarted again and went into recovery mode. After it was done running everything it put me at a prompt. I didn't know what to do so I just restarted it again. This time I didn't get the GRUB screen and instead got some kind of emergency GRUB mode or something. About the only thing that I suspect this could come from is that I've known that I had some [04:23] problems with the drive's sectors and stuff and I would get prompted about it before I logged in, but I never felt like waiting for it and didn't bother to fix it. Now on a livecd my drive isn't even detected and I'm not sure what do. Can anyone help me? [04:23] aboleth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:28] aboleth: can you do: ls /dev/sd* and tell us what devices show up. Assuming you have only 1 drive in this PC, it should be /dev/sda device. What you'll need to do is run fsck on your hard drive partitions to fix them without them being mounted. [04:28] sl33k__: Ok, what is your objective? to increase the size of the wubi virtual disk? [04:28] <_Beast> is there any channels were people are not pussys [04:28] shelll: thanks I will do just that [04:29] _Beast: this is afamily channel can you watch your language [04:29] <_Beast> family scripts [04:29] <_Beast> my ass [04:29] Raikia: does it mean taking help of other disk?

[04:31] Could this be a zero-length partition? [04:31] 9.04 [04:31] aboleth: Ah. So as long as those partitions aren't mounted in your live environment, you should be able to do fsck -p /dev/sda1 ... the -p means automatic repair (no questions).

[04:52] gogetal: ok then will it add other fs? [04:53] But just out of curiousity, any way I can roll back to ubuntu from mint, or should I ask somewhere else [04:53] ChogyDan: user is running mint which isnt supported here [04:53] linuxn00b: yes, via a clean install [04:53] ChogyDan: No, I click it, and says it's starting up for a few seconds, but nothing happens [04:53] ActionParsnip: but didn't they merge repos with ubuntu proper? [04:54] !mint [04:54] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:54] crap, anyone know where firefox might store passwords?

[04:55] red2kic: yeah, i have that folder, but cant seem to locate the passwords [04:55] ActionParsnip, Raikia look harder, it should be smooth [04:55] What is the ettiquite for nominating a bug for a future release? [04:56] linuxn00b: grab an Ubuntu CD and boot to it, wipe out the Mint install (make sure you r backups of what you need are sufficiently recent) then install ubuntu [04:56] MACscr: You want to ask in Firefox IRC channel. I usually move over ~/.mozilla -- as it save everything. Be it passwords, extensions, or whatever. [04:56] ghindo: there is a button on launchpad, but you could also find someone can fix the bug, and make sure they are aware of it [04:57] I have a iMac G4. I installed the alternate community port for ppc. Yet at the boot screen it never loads past two dots. [04:57] Any thing I could do? [04:57] Ronaldlo: does your memory test as healthy? [04:57] ActionParsnip: Ahh damn. My ubuntu install disk is at a friend's house. I'll just wait for that. Thank you. [04:57] ChogyDan: I see the button, but I'm kind of unclear as to what nominating a bug entails. Does it just mean "please fix this bug before x release?" [04:58] How do I test? [04:58] My netbook with ubuntu 10.10 suspends every time I pull the AC cord out. Anyone know how to fix this? [04:59] aboleth: hmm so its always complaining about superblocks not being read. It looks like the superblock will need to be specified with fsck.ext3 -b /dev/sd* ... so I'm not sure if this will work in the live-cd, but you can try: /sbin/mkfs.ext2 /tmp/foo ... it will then tell you /tmp/foo is not a block special device would you like to proceed, you'll say 'y' ... this will tell you the number of 'blocks' ... let me know if thi [04:59] ghindo: it gets added to the release someone's queue, if it looks like the bug can be fixed, then then they will make sure to include it in the release. You really need to have someone who can fix the bug connected before nomination will mean much, AFAIK [04:59] snakesqzns: if you are nitpicking a tiny handful of frames then maybe but theres no issue there dude [04:59] shelll: what is the exact command i put in? [05:00] Ronaldlo: hold shift at boot, select memtest [05:01] ok :) [05:01] ChogyDan: Ah, thank you! [05:02] pdg1: The 24 meg partition is likely the windows "system" partition.

After I enable bluetooth DUN in pdanet, my laptop doesn't seem to detect it [05:04] E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:04] aboleth: I just remembered you can't mount any of those partitions ... because you could run 'df' and it will tell you the total number of blocks for each partition.

Anyone know how to activate this?

[05:33] note: i have no CD.. [05:33] wliao: never mind he said that bugs fixed [05:33] gogeta1: so why only 2 gb for free on adrive? it says you can have up to 50 [05:33] aboleth: Sorry, software-properties-gtk [05:33] i just wanna install it through iso [05:33] Jordan_U: thanks [05:33] aboleth: 50gb free adrive 2gb ubuntu one [05:33] aboleth: You're welcome.

Though it did advance farther on the splash screen. I am right on that it should take shorter than 10 minutes to boot, right? [05:35] r3sno: sure you can use ifup and ifdown. You can also stop and start ALL networking if needed [05:35] gogeta1, i copied the iso to my portable hd, and booted from it. [05:35] ActionParsnip: i am using ifconfig eth0 down, and after boot its still up [05:35] wliao: that mgith be tricky [05:36] aboleth: Did you run "sudo update-grub"? [05:36] Ronaldlo: thats how its done in grub2 [05:36] wliao: i dont think you can install on the same media your booting from [05:36] Jordan_U: no [05:36] Jordan_U: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub [05:36] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [05:36] I doubt its getting to grub2, although I'm not sure what that is. It goes from yaboot, to splash [05:36] aboleth: Sorry, did you run "sudo apt-get update"? [05:36] could I do this off of an alt cd? [05:37] gogeta1, yep, so , i'm just wondering is there an easier way.

[05:41] ActionParsnip: although its hardly stable as id like. :-\ needs a bit more tweaking i guess [05:41] wliao: if your installing to the ext i dont think that would interfear with lvm [05:41] gogeta1, i don't know where to put the iso. [05:42] jordan i've snd u the details [05:42] ActionParsnip, devilspie .. does it understand regex in application name?

[05:43] Jordan_U: so what do i do with gddrescue? [05:43] gogeta1, i don't understand. [05:43] ActionParsnip: I realized that the load goes farther when holding down shift. Any other keys I can hold to get it to the very end ;) [05:43] gogeta1, grub seems unable to know LVM.

[06:00] cache_surplus: it wont specifically say about trash, it just reads the partition or disk and extracts whatever it finds, you will need a partition mounted as writable to spit the data out to [06:00] am i getting out here ? [06:00] cache_surplus: no, the partition must be unmounted [06:01] so cant i jump to single user mode - and umount the drive in -ro mode?

You could add this to your repeated ask too [06:10] Gigabyte t1028x netbook. [06:10] I think the problem is that it's interpreting the "pull plug out" event as a scree close event, and the screen close is set to suspend. [06:11] aurilliance: have you used these boot options: elevator=noop i8042.noloop=1 [06:11] aurilliance: was it you asking about coloring the Segfault output? [06:11] ActionParsnip, I'm booting with them atm - without them the trackpad doesn't work ;) [06:11] Is there another way anyone? to recover jpeg files from a usb external drive that is mounted? manually.... actually the amount of data was 27 gigs from a smb network share when deleted... how does ubuntu/linux remove large amount of data... i still see a few pictures in there, that i simply mv'd, and worked. but im worried about the large amount of data deleting differently... as referenced by other times i have seen the m [06:11] tecnico, yeah that was me -good memory [06:11] aurilliance: http://colorifer.sourceforge.net/ [06:12] aboleth: Ok. To use ddrescue to create a rescue image named "sda_rescue.img" run "sudo ddrescue /dev/sda /media/JPs\ 500gb\ SATA\ II\ \ Hard\ Drive/sda_rescue.img /media/JPs\ 500gb\ SATA\ II\ \ Hard\ Drive/sda_rescue.log" [06:12] :) [06:12] aurilliance: http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/07/howto-ubuntu-1004-on-gigabyte-touchnote.html [06:12] aurilliance: are you using: usbhid.quirks=0xeef:0x1:0x40 as a boot option? [06:12] ActionParsnip, yeah I know - I've written an updated blog post based on that one as well [06:12] Hmm havn't tried that one... [06:13] Jordan_U: will ddrescue work for me as well? [06:13] aurilliance: found it! : http://xac-i.net/blog/?p=19 [06:13] hi everyone [06:13] aurilliance: run: gconf-editor find: /apps/gnome-power-manager/actions [06:14] aurilliance: deselect: event_when_closed_battery [06:14] Jordan_U: ok i'm running it now [06:14] ActionParsnip, nice! [06:14] ActionParsnip, thanks! [06:14] cache_surplus: No, it is for a different purpose. [06:15] aurilliance: simple websearches dude [06:15] ActionParsnip: shhhh [06:15] Is there anyway to get rsync to back up root / [06:15] I couldn't save when using photoscape through wine on Ubuntu 10.04? [06:16] cache_surplus: ddrescue is like dd but it doesnt quit when it gets in trouble, you can make an image of a failing drive, then fsck it to see if you can recover data. the drive is data, you just need foremost to recover the data [06:16] aurilliance: i suggest you make a note of that someplace so you can set it if you need to reinstall [06:17] ActionParsnip: ic, yah its not a failing drive though... looks like your cutting and pasting lol [06:17] thanks though [06:17] ? [06:17] ActionParsnip, I'm gonna add it to my blog post ;) [06:18] cache_surplus: i just type fast [06:18] Anyone know how to change name of root Linux Grub menu item? [06:18] cache_surplus: well its rare for ext3/4 to ourright fail unless its at the hardware level my frend [06:18] can i create an image, then run foremost on it? [06:18] shawn: grub 1 or 2 [06:18] 2 [06:18] ActionParsnip: Do you do this as a job? Or are you just really really cool anyhow? ;) [06:18] i never said its a failed drive lol... i said i deleted data on accident [06:18] i only know grub1, sorry [06:18] a lot of data [06:18] 27 gigs [06:18] cache_surplus: oh its gone forever then [06:18] cache_surplus: if you like, you will need enough storage to hold a full image of the disk or partition you are using, then the same again to output to [06:18] limecat: thanks anyway. [06:19] gogeta1: if you explain why its gone for ever, i might believe you [06:19] cache_surplus: linux zeros on delete [06:19] 大家好 [06:19] gogeta1: not exactly [06:19] gogeta1: are you sure? I thought it was simply an issue of how it deletes [06:19] i disagree... i have files in there that were recovered already manually [06:19] limecat: yea zeroing [06:19] pretty sure that would be a phenomenal performance hit to zero everything on delete, im pretty sure it IS in rare circumstances to recover [06:20] gogeta1, limecat, cache_surplus: on ext3&4, the *pointer* to the data is zeroed. the data is intact. on ext2 the pointer wasnt even cleared [06:20] gogeta1: I didn't know Linux did that. That's why there are utils like secure delete. [06:20] cache_surplus: yea sometime you can get off the jurnel but mostly its destoryed [06:20] *unless* you set the "secure" delete flag on your filesystem (this is NOT the default) [06:20] How does one configure cron jobs to log output to /var/mail/username? [06:20] hello everyone, im trying to get a ftp server up and running for user access, lan works fine but external users cant connect and im running Proftpd [06:20] Ports? [06:20] gogeta1: i believe that may be true, unless the .Trash-1000 file only holds pointer files not real data [06:20] ports forwarded properly [06:20] shawnboy: well furensics can recover enough of a zero the secure delete add multi overwrights [06:20] er, ports, are they forwarded? [06:20] ahkay ;) [06:20] gogeta1: you're wrong [06:21] gogeta1: you're mixing up the list of pointers to data and the actual data [06:21] maco: so iirc it IS possible with specialized tools (ie testdisk) to recover files by scanning deleted sectors [06:21] limecat: yes [06:21] thats what i thought [06:21] cache_surplus: well trash doesent zro untill you empty why they added it [06:21] is the files in .Trash-1000 only pointer files? [06:21] Four2zero: I hang around an opensource game. People try to set up servers, and dont realize that they need to set up ports. First thing that came to mind. [06:21] cache_surplus: no those are copies of the files [06:21] is there some settings that needs to be tweaked in proftpd.conf [06:21] i have never emptied the trash since deletion of those files [06:21] cache_surplus, if you want to recover, ive heard testdisk is a pretty good tool if you know what kind of data [06:21] jpeg pics [06:21] cache_surplus: lucky you they should still be there [06:21] Ronaldlo i understand. [06:22] :) [06:22] photorec is good for that [06:22] multiple choice: 1) How Do I Change Grub 2 Root Linux Menu Item? or 2) how do I move /home to separate partition and why would I want to? [06:22] i use port 2121 tcp/udp [06:22] i deleted them using a smb share window in nautilus from this client [06:22] cache_surplus: magicrescue may also work [06:22] cache_surplus, what was the other end? what Filesystem, OS, etc? [06:23] linux to linux [06:23] cache_surplus: they still should be the the trash folder then [06:23] Um, I have a strange problem. I right-clicked a link in Chrome; instead of opening right away, there was some disk cache activity; I let up on the mouse button. Now, there is a small patch of screen which floats on top of all other windows, a box full of the Google search results page. Closing the Chrome window does not remove it. It travels from workspace to workspace and cannot be killed with the Force Quit tool or even moved with th [06:23] e grabber hand. === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [06:23] ok, the file that holds the data or pointers is .Trash-1000 correct? [06:23] its a usb drive external, and i see that dir in there [06:23] cache_surplus: should be as easy as opning it file [06:24] du -sh .Trash-1000 shows 555megs [06:24] browse it' [06:24] not 27gigs [06:24] cache_surplus: .Trash things are just folders that stuff gets moved to if you use the gui to "move to trash" rather than the command line to "rm" [06:24] cache_surplus: outch it migh have done a rm on the samba [06:24] maco: agreed [06:24] thats what i asked earlier about smb [06:25] i wonder if it deleted the data differently than it would with nautilist [06:25] cache_surplus: well i do knoe how linuc deletes recover isnt easy [06:25] No change. [06:25] Jordan_U: it's running still and some weird stuff happened [06:25] :) [06:25] cache_surplus, if this is an unknown, and youre unsure if it was actually deleted... [06:25] zzzz [06:25] i would treat it as if it were and attempt recovery with any of the mentioned tools ASAP as the longer you wait the worse === sean is now known as Guest41182 === Agu10|iTouch is now known as Agu10 [06:25] multiple choice: 1) How Do I Change Grub 2 Root Linux Menu Item? or 2) how do I move /home to separate partition and why would I want to? [06:25] it says i have no more space and i can't switch between windows and the window bars no longer show up, among other things [06:26] aboleth: are you trying to recover a deleted file? [06:26] shawnboy, /home can be put on a seperate partition for a few reasons [06:26] im unsure as to how smb deletes [06:26] if it rm's or mv's to trash [06:26] ilab: i'm recovering a corrupt disk [06:26] cache_surplus: well if its deleted on a ntfs drive it acully gets move to a trash folder on c: [06:26] shawnboy, one reason is if you want it on a separate drive for space issues...another is if you want to use different filesystems (a risky but fast one for /, a reliable one for data) [06:26] aboleth: Ok. My guess is that you used the wrong path when you ran ddrescue and so it hasn't been writing to the external drive. [06:26] I have a custom IME for typing in a dialect of Chinese, it is made for scim and it has a bin file for the tables and a png for the icon. Can I install it on ibus instead since that's what I use? [06:27] aboleth: Instead it's been writing the image to the live filesystem, which stores changes in RAM. [06:27] shawnboy, a third is for doing OS reinstalls-- many Linuxes will want to wipe /, but if your home is on a seperate partition you can keep your data easily [06:27] there is no C: drive here, this is ext4 on both boxes [06:27] cache_surplus: a sepret one being ntfs tools cant relly delete from ntfs [06:27] Jordan_U: i checked the directory in nautilus before it screwed up and i saw both files right where i expected [06:27] limecat: do you know if it's possible to do after installation the other way? (I like reason #3) [06:27] Changing screen resolution wiped the ghost box to a gray rectangle with a nice shaded drop shadow. But the box is persistent. [06:28] cache_surplus: yea 4 times harder heh even cops hate nix fs [06:28] gogeta1, AFAIK when you delete from an NTFS share it is gone gone (that is marked deleted on FS) [06:28] its mounted as a usb drive that linux recognized, and i have it in fstab to mount after reboots [06:28] aboleth: Odd. Stop ddrescue now and run "sync". [06:28] ok i stopped it now [06:28] limecat: nope they go in a trahs folder on c: [06:28] trash [06:28] you can restore from shadow copies but its NOT in recycle bin-- imagine what a file server's recycle bin would look like.... [06:28] limecat: you have to delete that folder to [06:28] aboleth: Because it uses a log file you'll be able to continue where you left off (but only if you pass the log file to ddrescue properly next time you run it). [06:29] gogeta1, can you clarify where and what that folder would be called? I have never seen nor heard of this.... [06:29] hi [06:29] not with NTFS on windows server [06:29] I am planning to buy a wireless mouse. Please suggest me the make of the mouse which is supported by Ubuntu Linux 10.04 [06:29] limecat: sometimes its acully hidden but it will be like trash and some numbers [06:29] just to confirm, what is the dir name for trash on a usb mounted drive [06:29] i have 4 here [06:29] kaushal, just about any usb mouse should work [06:29] well 3 [06:30] RECYCLER which looks windows like, prolly from a previous use, and .Trash-1000 [06:30] limecat: any wiki page which says about supported mice ? [06:30] limecat: being it cant nativly move to the recycle bin it does that === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 [06:30] Jordan_U: i'm having trouble running commands like this [06:30] limecat: thanks for your feedback. I'll google for more. [06:30] limecat: at least if you use thr gui [06:30] kaushal: ive never heard of an unsupported mouse... [06:30] the [06:30] i can't put the focus correctly back on the terminal [06:30] in trash i have files/ and info/ [06:30] maco: ok [06:30] gogeta1, thats NOT on windows systems. .trash files are only created by linux. youll have to take my word on this, i can test it now. I always have hiden and super hidden showing on windows [06:31] maco: any wiki page ? [06:31] kaushal: unless maybe it has like.. more than 7 buttons and you want to be able to program them to do lots of stuff [06:31] Speaking of mice, anyone know if there is widespread support of bluetooth mice or should I look for certain ones? [06:31] limecat: in a nix to windows smb share im talking abought [06:31] ah ok [06:31] kaushal: if you find a mouse that doesnt work, i will be shocked [06:31] shawnboy: bluetooth is bluetooth, i suggest against logitech as they refuse to support linux so dont give them your money [06:31] Jordan_U: should i try ctrl+alt+1?

I'm using firefox 3.12.6 .. are there any known issues of keeping firefox open with multiple tabs, that would cause memory to slowly increase of the course of time .. keeping firefox open with 2 tabs for say, 2days ends up using about 1.2-1.4gb of ram. [06:32] aboleth: Yes. [06:32] you have native 9+ button support for mice in linux, where windows would need a driver [06:32] aboleth: Did you successfully stop ddrescue? [06:32] maco: i was actually going for the recommendation [06:32] BillyMays: its one reason i hate and do not use it [06:33] kaushal, you want a good mouse? any of logitechs ;) what do you want to use it for? [06:33] goodnight all [06:33] ActionParsnip what do you use? [06:33] aboleth: If everything seems to be frozen then do *not* pull the plug. Use sysrq magic instead. [06:33] !sysrq | aboleth [06:33] aboleth: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [06:33] i do like logitech mice...they have the right feel [06:33] BillyMays: chromium daily build and arora [06:33] BillyMays: could try the mozilla ppa for a later version [06:33] ubottu, didnt they disable sysrq in 10.04? [06:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:33] think you have to manually enable it [06:33] BillyMays: could also try firefox 4 if you are feeling brave [06:34] limecat: No, they disabled ctrl+alt+backspace. [06:34] doh [06:34] limecat: good mouse [06:35] kaushal, a "good mouse" to me is the G9, which is a gamers mouse. If you want a good cheap one i can guarentee will work in ubuntu, browse newegg-- every mouse there will work. one sec and ill find the one i like [06:35] ActionParsnip lol, alright. I think i'll leave v4 alone [06:36] limecat: waiting for your input [06:36] one sec [06:36] A mouse without scroll wheel should works fine too. [06:37] kaushal, i cant google it ATM (only irc access), but model number is m-bck135 [06:37] its a logitech [06:37] kaushal: My mouse -- http://tinyurl.com/37urfc [06:38] the one i posted cost me about $10, and its a fantastic laser mouse [06:38] not every mouse. i have a razor and only some buttons work [06:38] wrektjet, check out "btnx" [06:39] itll get them all working [06:39] ?

It says to select "Windows networks (SMB)" as the share type, but only "Unix Networks (NFS)" is in the drop down list. also worth noting is that the linux computer can access the windows box no problem [06:40] limecat your g11 keyboard? [06:40] wrektjet, no all 11 keys on my g9 mouse. I also got the g15 kb working, i forget what prog i used [06:41] somethin like "g15progs" or "g15utils" [06:42] Spaztic_One, i might be wrong but i think you have to install something first [06:42] hmm ill try tom i made a note. ive never actually gotten my g11 fully functioning [06:42] some keys yes [06:42] People, what is better opened in Open office doc or docx? [06:43] this was like 2 years ago, so i dont remember well. For the side keys, i used "xev" (built in command) to find the keymap codes. I forget where i input them [06:43] xev will show you what the computer "hears" when you press a key [06:43] limecat, as far as I am aware, both the standard shares-admin and nautilus are installed. now whether the problem is that they both are, I don't know ,but I wouldn't think it is.

[06:56] in this case, I am trying to access my mav meercat laptop with win xp SP3 [06:56] Spaztic_One: ok is samba installed and running? how did you share the folder? [06:58] ActionParsnip: as far as I know, yes. and I have attempted to share using the context menu (right click) and setting it to share, as well as opening a terminal and running shares-admin [06:59] (also as a small note, Spaztic_One and Spaztic_One_ are both me, former being the one on the windows box, and with the underscore on the laptop) [06:59] Spaztic_One_: ok so if you run: smbtree on ubuntu, do you see the shares on the server [07:00] ActionParsnip: I do, unless my laptop is supposed to be listed as well. (which I don't think being that it isn't SMB?) [07:04] Spaztic_One_: if it has shares on it then it will [07:04] ActionParsnip: Also, I today got my laptop to access the windows machine. I had it working before, but it suddenly stopped. I figured out the problem for that, firestarter (firewall program) was blocking the incoming traffic from the other compter on my LAN [07:04] ah, well, my laptop is not being listed [07:04] Spaztic_One_: if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER you can then authenticate as your user, using the password you set. [07:05] I do, and thats when I get the error on windows [07:05] saying that I cannot be logged in twice or some such rubbish [07:06] Spaztic_One_: do you get prompted for authentication?

I edited the workgroup manually earlier today [07:13] ... if only I could remember where that was xD [07:13] Spaztic_One_: if you edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the shares at the bottomi (rest of the file is vanilla) then restart samba, the shares should be ok and security defined as to who can access what. I suggest you backup your smb.conf as a rollback path [07:16] name in the bracket is the name that will appear on the network?

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 [07:57] Aeronius, i think ActionParsnip answer is best but use synaptic to update machine [07:58] !LiveCD [07:58] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [07:58] thanks for deferring, but you meant go to system>administration>synaptic? [07:58] Ronaldlo: there's 32bit ppc minimal. And 64bit ppc minimal. Result! [07:59] Link? :D [07:59] aer [07:59] Ronaldlo: use the one ubottu gave [07:59] Aeronius, when you update do you first go to synptic or do you simply use update mgr === Peer is now known as Guest56695 [07:59] I thought the Alternate CD was being called the server CD now? [07:59] Ronaldlo: minimal gives kernel + bootloader + modules [08:00] ubuXubu: I use the update manager [08:00] I think [08:00] Aeronius: I believe you can install server with the alternate [08:00] Aeronius, i would 1st use synaptic [08:00] I think you can Aeronius [08:00] actually [08:00] you can [08:00] I remember seeing an option for it [08:01] Ronaldlo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:02] Hm, should I stick with 10.10? Or should I try something else? [08:02] Aeronius, in synaptic you will handle updating and then when you choose update mgr it will say already up to date [08:02] Ronaldlo: you mean server vs alternate? well, I looked at ubuntu.com, and they're different, I thought they were the same thing as of 10.04... but I guess my info is either old or wrong [08:02] which component is responsible for automounting a usb stick?i.e. how can i stop that behaviour? [08:03] Ronaldlo: experiment with different distros if you like, each has advantages [08:03] Ronaldlo: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-powerpc.iso [08:03] I'm running update manager first [08:04] clicked install updates, let's see if it gives me any CD grief, but apparently not, it's downloading instead of looking for the cd. Thanks!!! [08:04] Jordan_U: I have that already. [08:04] Aeronius, ok [08:04] Aeronius: They both use the same installer, and can both install either desktop or server. The difference is that the "Alternate" install CD contains all of the packages needed for ubuntu-desktop on the CD so you don't need to download them during install, and the "Server" install CD contains all the pacakges needed for ubuntu-server. [08:04] That is what has been giving me grief [08:05] Ronaldlo: As I said, you can also go over and look at yellowdog if you want [08:05] I see, in any case, I was wrong about that [08:05] Ronaldlo: You said that it was 710 meg, that file is 685 meg. [08:05] Is there anyone able to help with open office.org word processor problem?? [08:06] !anyone | JiveTurkeh [08:06] JiveTurkeh: 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? [08:06] JiveTurkeh: what your problem ? [08:06] azbr00: I think I'll do that Jordan_U: The liveCD is 710, I need that for a memory test. The alternate is what I used because it was smaller. [08:07] Ronaldlo: alternate and live cd different on internal installer come with them [08:07] is there dpkg help channel for the ppa build system? [08:08] Ronaldlo: The alternate CD has memtest also. [08:08] In openOffice, I'm trying to write a story, but the dang program wont let me go back to previous writen paragraphes and edit/ backspace, Im just have alot of problems with it. Any please help. [08:08] ROnaldlo: alternate cd, i think has many similarities like debian-cd installer [08:08] Jordan_U: Where is that? I never saw it. [08:09] Ronaldlo: Well, it's in the boot menu on the X86 CDs, I can't be sure for PPC. [08:09] is anyone aware if the openssl vulnerabilities affect ssh?

Tab to list ccommands? Yes. [08:13] i can no longer unlock my kde session for some reason except by logging in on tty1 and killing kscreenlocker from there. any idea what could be wrong? [08:14] ikonia: 0.9.8o, but the patch is out now. but still would like to know if it affected ssh [08:14] gaten: it would do, yes [08:16] seems like a pretty quiet vuln for the problems it could cause. guess it only matters if there's POC code out anymore [08:16] hello~ how to check the memory latency in Ubuntu?

[08:31] okay, that's cool, I finally had an idea for a chained shell command that worked. [08:31] ^_^ [08:31] hello everyone [08:32] I've had things fail on && so many times. [08:32] guys, is there a way i can chroot home directory [08:32] can i ask a question [08:32] i mean if the user login on his account he won't be able to browse the filesystem [08:32] yes === dZoNi is now known as hahaha [08:32] solidrock: that doesn't make sense [08:33] y? [08:33] i hahe canon mp250 printer, and i find this printer's software for linux, but i cant install it :( [08:33] solidrock: you can do that if they use ssh [08:33] if the cd on terminal he won't be able to view filesystem [08:33] you want to keep people from looking outside /home/name ? [08:33] yes [08:33] precisely [08:33] solidrock: you can chroot to change the root folder so if you have the liveCD iso you can manipulate it and chroot to that and the commands ran will affect the data on the ISO [08:34] without liveCd [08:34] you would have to recreate whatever the user needs to run his or her seesion inside the chroot [08:34] or include, rather [08:34] :/ [08:35] yeah, i'm looking for some way that they won't be able to see or browse outside /home/user directory [08:35] well, they kind of have to [08:35] for instance, all of the commands they use are outside of /home [08:35] solidrock: they will need read access to stuff so they can access and run apps [08:35] anyone help me [08:36] yaramazgeyik: what do you mean you cant install it. it wont run? [08:36] yaramazgeyik: been on the canon site to see if they have a driver? [08:36] i mean interlink to the apps yes they can but viewing or cd outside home directory should be restricted [08:36] yaramazgeyik: they do make some drivers and only 32bit [08:37] solidrock: that wont be easy. and is probably overkill [08:37] solidrock: as they have read access they can cd all over. I'm not sure how you'd stop that [08:37] yes it wont run [08:38] someone help me with installing mythtv, im trying to unzip the .bz2 file and ./configure the file but it says "./configure: 2158: cannot create config.ep: Permission denied" [08:38] solidrock: if you have the user not a member of admin they won't be able to edit files outside of home [08:38] well, to cd into a directory you need rx perms, but yes [08:38] manuel_: mythtv is in the repo. Why not use that? [08:38] manuel_: sounds like you need to be root. or sudo [08:38] im a noob, not sure how to do it [08:39] i'm thinking if they can be restricted on that part [08:39] yes i used sudo [08:39] yaramazgeyik: were. They in deb format? Please write my name in text addressed to me [08:39] solidrock: and average user, added to the system, has very limited rights [08:39] ActionParsnip: how to install this dreiver in terminal [08:39] driver* [08:40] manuel_: search software centre, it will install for you [08:40] yaramazgeyik: well I have no way of knowing what files you haveor their contents. So its waay to ambiguous to answer [08:41] yaramazgeyik: usually they are archives you extract, sometimes they are debs, sometimes its an installer [08:41] Hi. 10.10(64 bit). When I try to copy a large file(11Gb) I get a "error splicing file: input output error" at 4.4Gb through the transfer. This happens on an external USB drive as well as a internal SATA HDD. Trying cp in bash yields the same failure... Any ideas?? [08:41] bang0: are you copying to a fat32 partition? [08:41] ActionParsnip, both are NTFS [08:41] i installed everythign in software center under mythtv but i get this error msg when starting mythtv "Could not connect to the MySQL server: (1045, "Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)")" [08:42] hi guys. I need to mount smb volume with exec permissions for files. is there any way to do that? [08:42] bang0: are the partitions healthy? [08:42] ActionParsnip, yes. I also find it strange they fail with same error, at the same place(4.4/11Gb) on both volumes.. the source file is healthy too. [08:42] I had an academic question about kernels, wanted to know why sometimes there are updates to kernels as well as having modules (i.e. what can't be achieved by a module that can with a new kernel) [08:44] question about shares, I managed to "connect to server: windows shares" to an WinXP box but can't do the same to a Win7 box, all it does is keep asking for user name and password and I have tried every possibility [08:44] donkeybong, i can only testify win7 is "bitchy" about that. you aren't alone. [08:45] they changed smb in win7, not sure if samba has caught up yet [08:45] http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/212320-perlmon-cpu-z-like-program-linux.html have never tried it myself lixinfish [08:45] ubuXubu, nevermind, I'll try it~ [08:46] bang8 do I need to use a WinXP box to get the files out of my VirturalBox Ubuntu drive image? [08:46] nyaa: er, a module can't fix a broken function in the kernel. also, loaded modules are slower than stuff compiled into the kernel === dZoNi is now known as hahaha [08:46] btw, just tried lshw-gtk and hardinfo, and get nothing i need. [08:46] donkeybong, ghost the vm and pick out what you need that way [08:46] or run a live distro and mount it, take what you need? [08:47] bang8 any programs you recommend to do that? [08:47] what is the .spec*format [08:48] donkeybong, can you back up and tell me what you need done? I didnt get all of it [08:48] does anybody know how to mount smb with exec permissions for files? [08:49] gaten aha, I was reading on wikipedia and it said in version 2.0 they added support for multiple files, so that could have been done with a module but would just be much slower? [08:49] ubuXubu, em.. perlmon not working.. [08:49] hmmm [08:49] bang8 I am using Oracle VM VirturalBox on a Win7 host to run Ubuntu, I have downloaded some files on virtural Ubuntu computer and wish to transfer files too big to email over to windows [08:50] <_Beast> use Car set with CFs [08:50] ubuXubu, :) it seems only cpu-z can get it and I just don't have windows in my computer@@ [08:50] donkeybong, just mount the shares with VBox itself, its easy [08:50] let me load up my vm, to reference this [08:50] <_Beast> utf8 and cifs [08:51] <_Beast> i am thinking [08:51] **Error**: You must have `autoconf' installed to. [08:51] Download the appropriate package for your distribution, [08:51] or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ [08:51] **Error**: You must have `libtool' installed.

[08:51] nyaa: when you build a kernel, you can choose options that can be either compiled in, or modules. modules are dynamic and can be loaded and unloaded. stuff that is compiled in cannot [08:51] yaramazgeyik: use pastbin [08:51] donkeybong, under VBox goto shared folders in settings of your ubuntu vm, add a folder [08:51] how === odb|fidel_ is now known as elFidel [08:52] once in ubuntu, mount the share... then copy from the ubuntu vm to the win7 host [08:52] pastebin.com [08:52] <_Beast> im thinking its this sudo mount -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o username=winusername,password=winpassword,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 [08:52] also read the irc guidelines page in the topic [08:52] gaten: then is there a way to compile in all the drivers for my particular system so the sound and video will be faster?

[08:53] hi, how do i convert a word(mandarin/arabic) to unicode? example, 你好 to 4F60597D [08:53] nyaa: yes there is a way to compile in all your drivers, but it wont really speed that kind of stuff up [08:53] <_Beast> anyone use samba SWAT [08:53] gaten: would it make it take less resources? [08:53] _Beast : is it about the question I asked? [08:53] <_Beast> yes [08:53] optraz: For example, use a Unicode code table. [08:54] <_Beast> install cifs [08:54] gaten: also that's my last question since I know this is going down a huge rabbit hole I should probably go down a question or two a day, heh. Thanks for the help =) [08:54] nyaa: more i would think. the more stuff you add to the kernel the bigger it gets in memory. the ubuntu kernel is pretty bloated as it is [08:54] how to donload for terminal [08:54] download* [08:54] bullgard4: well, how do i do it programming way ;) [08:54] is it possible to list packages to update before running an apt-get upgrade in the console and to choose which to update? [08:54] bang8 I added a folder and can't find it in guest Ubuntu [08:54] <_Beast> change add wins to your nsswitchfille [08:54] nyaa: keep asking and googling; that's how you learn [08:55] gaten; ok, then why is a big kernel bad? does it take memory that has a limit in size? [08:55] nyaa: if you want to stream line your kernel, the best thing you could do is *remove* the stuff you don't need [08:55] <_Beast> then install winbind [08:55] donkeybong, its tricky, i can kinda help.. I have ubuntu host and win7 vm...opposite of you [08:55] donkeybong, but in the vbox .pdf user manual it does explain how to mount the share with your situation, ive done it before :) [08:56] nyaa: "bad" is kind of relative. most people wont' notice the difference. but if you stream line your kernel for your system and remove stuff it doesn't need, it will be smaller in memory [08:57] <_Beast> i hoping ,y fstab is not screed [08:57] gaten: what I don't get is how it being smaller in memory makes it more efficient aside from saving a few k, or heck even if it were a few megs, of space [08:57] there are a bunch of kernel optimization guides out there, google for some. experiment, building your own kernel is good for your soul :p [08:58] _Beast, I used the mode optionse but the mounted share still has not executable files [08:58] does having more in it mean it has to poll for more things in terms of time sharing? that would make a lot of sense to this [08:58] gaten, i am sorta terrified of it, but i will be building a vm for that reason :P [08:58] bang0: that's waht vms are for [08:59] <_Beast> hnnn [08:59] nyaa: honestly i dont know enough about kernel arch. to answer that truthfully [08:59] gaten: hey, an honest answer is always the best one [08:59] as far as how it goes about allocated resources to "unused" portions of code [08:59] bang8 it is getting late for me, I think I may just use the other computer in the house that is running WinXP as an intermediate between the host and guest, just give it full access from both of my ends, will take time but it should work, thanks again for the help, I'll also try looking up that pdf [09:00] however, a piece of code with megs of unused functions is slower than a piece of code without them [09:00] donkeybong, be stubborn and do it the way i suggested, it is worth knowing how to do.. anyway goodnite [09:00] we're not really talking seconds here, in most cases. this is computer time, ms and ns [09:02] Hi [09:02] Hey guys. does anyone know why my startup scripts that I've created with update-rc.d name defaults wont start upon reboot? [09:02] nothing fancy happening [09:03] do they start with an 'S' [09:03] does anybody know how to mount smb with exec permissions for files? [09:03] gaten: some of them are K20 some S20 [09:04] in this particular case it's for an nginx server (not installed via apt.. my own startup file). but whats interesting is snmpd wont start either and it was installed with apt [09:04] Hi [09:04] did you enable them w/ update0rc? [09:05] no, I didn't. what is that? I always thought it was update-rc.d script defaults [09:05] this seemed to work without issue in debian [09:05] Hi sling-shot [09:05] oh yes, thats what i mean [09:05] yea, thats how it was done. [09:06] Sorry for the double post :-) [09:06] gaten: I think I figured it out. The kernel goes into ram, but not always into the processor's cache, it gets called in like anything else. So, if it is larger, there is a greater chance of part of it being needed in cache that is not already there, or of the parts that are there being so large that they cause the cache to fill up faster. [09:06] phusion__: im assuming you checked the rc.d dirs to make sure the scripts were present, and had executable perms? [09:06] gaten: yes [09:07] like i said - even after apt-get install snmpd snmpd doesnt start upon boot and its already in there [09:07] <84XAA9TE9> hi all [09:07] are they running before something they need, like networking? [09:07] * [gnubie] waves [09:07] well its a service that would bind to an IP so yeah [09:07] nyaa: sounds logical [09:07] <84XAA9TE9> can you tell me if is possible to use the normale network manager of ubuntu for all the connections and wpa_supplicant for only one that doesn't work with the normal connection [09:07] <84XAA9TE9> ?

[09:13] yeap I am Indian [09:13] ok [09:13] good [09:18] gaten: even "update-rc.d -f script remove && update-rc.d script defaults 99" didnt do it. [09:18] for snmpd - a service installed by apt even.

[09:24] bullgard4: its a list of questions that the user gets asked when a package is installed. [09:24] bullgard4: http://debconf2.debconf.org/talks/debconf-debconf/templatesfile.mdwn ... example template. its not really something you should worry about [09:26] Is there any reason why the default keyring would only unlock after a reboot and not after a complete shutdown? [09:29] In Ubuntu 10.10 when I go in the Home Folder I usually see boxes with names like box for Home Box for User Box for Desktop.. can i have something like in earlier versions "Wand" where u could [09:30] type /home/Desktop [09:30] c_nick ctrl+l [09:31] c_nick theres a setting in the gconf editor to apply permanently [09:31] Oh cool.. thanks iflema :) [09:31] nope Ctrl + L is good for me.. :) [09:32] thanks .. cya [09:32] hello everyone [09:33] i'm using ubuntu 10.10. I just install kubuntu plasma desktop. when i start ubuntu or kubuntu it ask my password to unlock keyring two times. how to fix this? [09:33] hey, is ATOM a 32 bit or 64 bit chip (asking for mythbuntu) [09:33] skiwithpete: 32 [09:34] ikonia, cheers [09:34] hi, what's the best option to display some text on screen, on top of all other windows, I found sth called aosd_cat but I cannot display anything with it [09:35] cube: could you be a bit more specific? do you mean like a notification? [09:35] ftg2: You say, I should not worry about templates. But I am the user whom you mentioned. So you really mean that Update Manager itself will answer these questions in the templates? === argh is now known as Guest63601 [09:36] bullgard4: no. it will ask you the questions, if there are any [09:36] nyaa: well yes, but not a popup, but a text that will show on top of all other windows [09:36] cube: compiz has options for window management (as I'm sure other things do too) that allow you to put windows as "always on top".

How come? [09:39] bullgard4: what i meant was, you don't really have to worry about what they do. its all done automatically. only real reason to get into the details of templates is if you are creating your own package [09:39] bullgard4: i suspect it always extracts templates, and that they are empty 90% of the time [09:41] hi there has anyone got experience setting up virtual machines with virt-install? when i try to do so on 10.10 i get an error "libvirtError: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info chardev'" [09:41] ftg2: Yes. -- Thank you very much for your help.

Sorry if I'm bugging people. I'm having some issues with setting my hostname. Now before you go "oh, what a noob", this is something I know how to do, but something on my system is broken, and it does not set properly. I changed the machine from server1.domain.com to server1.location.domain.com. `hostname` shows the correct hostname, but hostname -f shows it without the "location".

[10:32] DryGrain: that file has moved to another type an notation in the new grub [10:33] It isn't a problem with python since my files works. It is a problem with the shebang.

I guess it has to do with the update of the SSL packages, is there a way to fix this problem? [10:46] how to install a-desk?? [10:47] I know this exact problem Tellmarch, the certificates are old. Just do mv .purple/certificates .purple/certificates.old and you should be good to go. Shut down Pidgin first, of course. [10:48] repeat question: I have an external hd partitioned into a file system, music and movies part. I've created a guest account. my guest account can run a "dir /media/" and see the partitions there, but when I try to change to them or list their contents I get: " dir: cannot open directory /media/FLAC/: Permission denied" [10:48] how can I give the guest user access to these partitions? [10:48] halpp, I just tried, it didn't fix the problem... and certificate info says it's valid untill 2011... any other idea?

[10:51] how do you get ubuntu and is it any good? [10:51] halpp, did it again, it recreates one certificate, for login.live.com, but still the same message about omega.contacts.msn.com [10:51] ryan_languagelab: I had the same problem [10:52] ryan_languagelab: i just logged otu [10:52] and logged back in [10:52] soundgarden: you should go to www.ubuntu.com [10:52] and follow the instructions over there [10:52] Hmm...

Then all you need to " chmod 664 /path/to/mount-point " [10:56] (why not make) [10:56] hi, All [10:56] Hi linuxdog [10:57] hey linuxdog [10:57] I am using Ubuntu 10.10 [10:57] Hi.

[12:03] ah ok [12:03] anyway, [12:03] owe it's 10.04 i see.. [12:03] jaapvisser, most LTS back port bug fixes so if there's an update in a newer version it should be back ported.

[12:10] Superbest, xserver running by root?

[12:18] DJones_: should just reboot and reset 10.10?? because its not working all that right [12:18] tabasko, might be but I don't want to do that. For one I'd need to hop back and forth between users then [12:18] danrrico_: I would have expected that you'd need to restart X or reboot after running that command [12:19] tabasko, and in any case I'd like to figure out what is wrong with this way [12:19] DJones_: what do u mean restart X or reboot?? [12:19] how long would it take partman to deal with 3 1tb drives on install? [12:20] danrrico_: I would just restart the computer so that any changes to the desktop can be picked up when it restarts [12:20] tabasko, normally when backtrack boots, I am logged in as root and I get just command line, then type startx and kde launches [12:20] perhaps that is relveant [12:20] hi everyone!! === johzephine is now known as SiIentAgony [12:21] hi [12:21] I have problem to install kde on ubuntu!!

[14:02] bullgard4: that is the kernel-config used to build that specific kernel [14:02] trans: perhaps install alsa-utils [14:02] since i am having boot problems apparently nobody has resolved, should i just simply reinstall after grabbing any files that appear a necessity to me?

[15:43] How can I reprogram the behavior of the caps lock key? I want it to unlock on release unless holding lshift === stuff is now known as No7 [15:43] stuartpb, The only way I see how is to change the driver. [15:44] edbian: what would be involved in doing that? [15:44] stuartpb, Your keyboard has a 'layout' which is (i believe) built into the driver. The layout is basically a lookup table. [15:45] maco: here's the thing: I want to run some software synths I found on the USC, but programs I write use portuadio [15:45] suartb lookup at xmodmap [15:45] pietro10: because the jackd package pulls in jack2 by default and portaudio19-dev needs jackd1 [15:45] stuartpb, 1 learn programming, 2 learn systems programming, 3 get the source for your keyboard driver, 4 understand that source, 5 make the changes necessary (this is probably the easy part) [15:45] stuartpb, recompile / use your editing driver. [15:45] be back pretty soon [15:45] i already did 1 and 2, where can I get 3 [15:45] byeeeee :) [15:45] bye [15:46] maco: so would it be safe to try jackd1 and hope it works? [15:46] pietro10: yep [15:46] geboy: cheers :) [15:46] ok thanks; trying [15:46] stuartpb, oh excellent! :) Figuring out the driver is a bit complicated. Is the keyboard listed in lspci? enable the source repos if they're not already. [15:46] xmodmap - utility for modifying keymaps and pointer button mappings in X http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/xmodmap.1x.php [15:47] proxx: it's a bit more complicated than a map [15:48] how do you add a user to the sudoers file ?

[15:50] edbian: http://codepad.org/lWRRkJ2F [15:50] which command for visudo - ? to add a user to the list [15:51] pyghassen: it doesnt exist... if you run "apt-cache search libstdc++" you can find all the libraries related to that [15:51] or vi sudoers [15:51] Hi, I have installed rutorrent on my server, and each time I load the page while rtorrent runs, rtorrent get's killed. There's no signs of it in the apache errorlog. Have any of you met the same problem, or know how to solve it? [15:51] Adm: "sudo visudo" will open a text editor [15:51] stuartpb, Yeah I as afraid of that. Perhaps we can just find it by guessing smartly in lsmod. [15:51] stuartpb, lsmod | grep keyboard [15:51] stuartpb, lsmod | grep kbd [15:52] edbian: nil on both counts [15:52] how would i add a user to it in the text editor [15:52] which commands [15:52] stuartpb, hmmmmm [15:53] Adm: first take a look at man visudo [15:53] stuartpb, I'm just gonna google it. Likely that one driver handles all keyboards since they're identical by now anyway. [15:53] http://codepad.org/sNCwLTPR [15:53] ive had a look, just need to clear up what to use to add a user to it [15:53] stuartpb, Well here is a tremendously helpful article! http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1080 [15:53] Adm: see the comment that says "user privilege specifications" and has a line for root under it? same way [15:54] maco, I need this one [15:54] Adm: the bit lower down about %admin also implies you could just add the user to the admin group [15:54] pyghassen: compile it then [15:54] dury: watzup? [15:54] root ALL=(ALL) ALL [15:54] Adm, user ALL=(ALL) ALL [15:55] compile it? [15:55] how to do then? maco [15:55] pyghassen: get the source code from wherever on the internet it exists, and the README should tell you what to do [15:56] ok maco, I'll try [15:56] hello, how to install tv card under ubuntu 10.04 [15:58] edbian: I'll read over that article before I ask any more questions [15:59] stuartpb, Yeah it looked really good.

[16:54] networks: yeah but I didn't know -updating- it would eve r change the mbr. that sounds susssspicious lol [16:54] Flyingwatermelon: because you're not in windows :) [16:54] hey guys, i installed BT4 in a multiboot with ubuntu and winXP, and now GRUB is not pointing to the correct location for the ubuntu boot (ie cant boot ubuntu), suggestions? [16:55] goltoof, so what is all the stuff that says none under df? [16:55] lock: back track support in #backtrack-linux [16:55] Flyingwatermelon: i'm not completely savvy about why it mounts certain partitions and not others, but you can mount any partition you want manually [16:55] should i find original grub and update it to include BT4 or should i use the BT4 grub? [16:55] !fstab | goltoof [16:55] goltoof: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:55] Flyingwatermelon: no idea [16:55] lock: back track support in #backtrack-linux [16:55] solution for flash + firefox on livecd? [16:55] histo, yes [16:55] bah [16:56] lock: or #linux [16:56] !grub > lock [16:56] lock, please see my private message [16:56] lock: reconfigure grub [16:56] Roasted: there's probably some (strange?) hardware that would cause some issues, but in general, yes. [16:56] i installed ubutu 10.10 alongside windows xp using wubi...but now when i boot into ubuntu i get a GRUB> prompt,,,,what to do? [16:56] Flyingwatermelon: they're system partitions, swap, etc === bsod1 is now known as bsod1_ [16:56] Roasted: in short. it depends. [16:57] histo: i know, but which one? the one that BT4 installed or the one for ubuntu? [16:57] lock: stop [16:57] lock: back track support in #backtrack-linux [16:57] How do we setup a connection like "Create a new connection" in XP's "network connections" in control panel? [16:57] asddf123, on what exactly? [16:57] Anyone? [16:57] can any1 say me if i can use a canonscan lide 100 (not 110) with ubuntu? [16:57] !anyone [16:57] 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? [16:57] Roasted: with ubuntu. probably. with a system like gentoo where you compile everything so that it is hardware specific - then no. as the hardware most likely would not be the same. [16:57] Okay, what's the magic that makes gnome generate desktop icons for some partitions "540GB Filesystem" and not for others? [16:58] i installed ubutu 10.10 alongside windows xp using wubi...but now when i boot into ubuntu i get a GRUB> prompt,,,,what to do? [16:58] asddf123, so if I stick with your "average" linux distro, like fedora, opensuse, ubuntu, debian, etc., I SHOULD be okay? [16:58] witam [16:58] ikonia: im not going to stop as long as someone is trying to address the issue [16:58] Roasted: the kernel is modular, so it will detect the hardware and load whats needed [16:58] hello [16:58] greenIT: did you try the live cd and see if it works? [16:58] ikonia, gotcha. thanks! [16:58] this is just as much a ubuntu issue as it is BT4 [16:58] hi it's me again [16:58] greenIT: it mostly depends on if sane has support for it yet [16:58] ikonia: but what if the HD doesn't have the appropriate drivers etc [16:59] asddf123: then it won't boot [16:59] what the term for uninstalling something on *nix [16:59] greenIT: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html [16:59] asddf123: but then it wouldn't have booted with any distro if the hardware is unsupported [16:59] Jordan_U: could you help me put the image on the external hd without it screwing up like last time? [16:59] histo: i don't have a canonscan scanner, i am just thinking about getting one and wanted to know if i can scan with ubuntu [16:59] ikonia: what if ikonia a user compiled the kernel for a specific system. in that situation obviously the setup wouldn't work on a different PC. eg; gentoo [16:59] greenIT: looks like it's unsupported with sane. canon has horrible linux support [16:59] Flyingwatermelon: sudo apt-get remove --purge [package] [17:00] im trying to create a r00 archive with rar, could someone please help with this command rar a -vn m0 md15000 rarfile rarfile.avi [17:00] asddf123: errrr then it won't work, as it's to a specific system, obviously [17:00] greenIT: if you check out the link I just sent it lists manufacturers and scanners and whether they are supported or not. [17:00] histo: thx, for know i have a lexmark all-in-one and it is unsupported too^^ [17:00] goltoof why does it put icons on my desktop when i open something? [17:00] asddf123: you can move gentoo around, if the kernel is built modular [17:00] Flyingwatermelon: define something [17:00] greenIT: I've had good luck with Epson scanners in the past, but definately check out the SANE hardware support before you buy :) [17:00] my pc crashes when booting, is there anyone here who wants to help me? [17:00] ifith: thx :) [17:01] goltoof i open partition_1 and an icon of partition_1 is placed on my desktop [17:01] cya [17:01] ikonia: well yeah my point was just that: it depends. with an ubuntu distro it should be fine, but if it is compiled specifically, no. [17:01] asddf123: thats just common sense, ANY distro will boot on any machine, unless you build it for a specific machine only, [17:01] Flyingwatermelon: opening/mounting a partition one puts an icon on the desktop, the icon will disappear when the partition is removed [17:01] I need help becoming a professional linux user [17:02] ikonia: but by default in gentoo do you not have to compile the kernel for a specific machine? [17:02] Agent001: this is a support channel for ubuntu issue [17:02] Flyingwatermelon: ie, whenever you plug in a thumb drive [17:02] It is an ubuntu issue [17:02] asddf123: no, you can compile the kernel how you want, lets take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue [17:02] you can get professional training thru canoical [17:02] Agent001: then ask [17:02] hey!!!i installed ubutu 10.10 insside windows xp using wubi...but now when i boot into ubuntu i get a GRUB> prompt,,,,what to do? [17:02] How do I use ubuntu to help me become a linux professional user? [17:03] sumitkv2: have you tried asking in the forums? [17:03] i haven't compiled a kernel manually since slackare 3.4 [17:03] Agent001: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, just use the distro and learn [17:03] or maybe slack 4 [17:03] Agent001: use ubuntu [17:03] ubuntu is great [17:03] but i feel fedora is better with RAID [17:03] histo, yeah!!!not much help there!! [17:04] but for ease of use and user friendly .. go Ubuntu [17:05] does anyone here know anything about gddrescue? [17:05] i can't save image after editing it using photoscape through wine.

[17:10] so ,if you have got any advice for a fresher [17:10] goltoof, is there a package for showing that status on the taskbar? [17:10] clu3: may be different file [17:10] xc0ffee1: yep, vmware should be able to manage this, or virtualbox. assuming you've got 64-bit hardware, of course. [17:10] rocket16, which applet? [17:11] how do i make a bootable ubuntu usb? [17:11] clu3, you never had it? [17:11] is this chat international [17:11] goltoof, no, i'm not sure what you guys talking about.

It turns out Tijuana is much nicer despite not having all of the welfare, section 8, heating subsidies, and food stamps! [17:14] rocket16, just did that but i dont see a meter [17:14] clu3: the battery indicator should appear by default, especially if you just installed. gnome-panel has somewhat of a buggy history, and stuff disappears for no good reason..

When the charge is discharging, just hover the mouse on it, and it will show the percentage. And to see the current status, left-click on it and select "Laptop Battery is charged".

[18:05] ok here is my issue (new to linux) I got Dev c++ for windows but non of my source codes will run in linux [18:05] surprise, C++ sometimes needs rewriting for a different OS. [18:05] if i delete the partitions on which ubuntu resides, will that screw up the windows boot? [18:06] or will ntldr resume its duties? [18:06] *original place as the sole bootloader [18:06] !grub [18:06] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [18:07] lock: if windows loader is the first bootloader it comes across it will continue to work, if it doesn't look for where windows loader is (or finds another loader first, like a GRUB that has no /boot partition to load) it will not be nice [18:07] lock, you should ask in ##windows how to reinstall the windows boot loader, after removing the linux partition(s) [18:07] liberalstoner: you might try asking your C/++ questions on ##c or ##c++ or ##c++-basic [18:07] yeah but i get the iso in there but it seems that i need to compile (9.10) does ubuntu(10.04 and 10.10) any better i am not very good at compileing [18:07] even if i type out the code it doesn't run? does linux not surrport iostream? [18:07] lol [18:07] I have a padlock on a folder. What does that mean? [18:08] I did an update this morning that required a reboot...after reboot Compiz will not load. A) how do I find out what packages were upgraded? and b) any docs on troubleshooting compiz/nvidia? [18:08] hi all, im trying out this fnfxd for toshiba laptop daemin, and it says this error: "Please make sure that your kernel has enabled the Toshiba option in the ACPI section" [18:08] what should i do? [18:08] MarkSS, the lock says you can't write to it (i believe) [18:08] let me put that another way: which driver should I be using on a radeon 9800 pro? [18:08] ahh, so if i del linux partition, ntldr wont automatically be found and ran? [18:08] Is there any Ubuntu user who experienced mouse freezing during the work? I'm going crazy! How can I solve this huge problem? [18:08] How do I write to it? It belongs to root. It won't let me delete it, copy it or anything [18:08] majid: your keyboard keeps on working? [18:08] how can i install this driver? [18:09] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-96.43.19-driver.html [18:09] willemb , Yes. It works. [18:09] majid: it's a sign you should use terminal more often ;) [18:09] MarkSS, in a terminal, "sudo chown YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSENAME FolderName" [18:09] lol [18:09] majid: there should be a clue about what is wrong in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages. maybe even in the output of 'dmesg' [18:09] any help? [18:10] what do i do to remove old versions from grub? [18:10] Flyingwatermelon, try Ubuntu Tweak [18:10] Flyingwatermelon, use Ubuntu Software Center to remove the old images (search for linux-image) - it's a good idea to keep 2, current and a known working [18:10] or just remove the packages manually [18:11] stefanos have you tried using additional drivers under Admin menu? [18:11] If one Ubuntu partition is compromised, is it possible for the "bad person" to reach across into another partition from that one and access stuff? [18:11] y [18:11] but this version on this site is unbugged [18:11] thats why i want to use it [18:12] ZykoticK9, how do i know which is the most current ? [18:12] someone pls tell me what "Please make sure that your kernel has enabled the Toshiba option in the ACPI section" means? [18:13] stefanos: I'm not sure which version I got but it was under additional drivers. Haven't tried the manual load. [18:13] Flyingwatermelon, the highest number (i'd write down what you currently have listed in Grub2 menu) [18:13] hi all, I need help with the xbox360 controller, can you help me? [18:13] clu3_: grep TOSHIBA /boot/config* --> /boot/config-2.6.32-25-generic:CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m <<< looks like it does [18:13] FattyJoe: can't see how that is on topic, but.. [18:13] willemb , I couldn't find any thing there! [18:13] stefanos, i'm under the impression that the new Xorg version requires updated Nvidia drivers (so i don't think 96 version will work) BUT I certainly could be wrong on this. [18:14] ZykoticK9, how can i tell what will show up on the grub menu? [18:14] goltoof: the malfunction i think depends to xorg input, so i ask here, if i'm wrong tell me where ask that :) [18:14] Flyingwatermelon, after uninstalling a kernel version - the installer should automatically run grub-update and remove it from grub list [18:14] FattyJoe: oh, i thought you meant the physical controller [18:15] lol [18:15] erUSUL, so should i just change that to =y to have it enabled? [18:15] i thought the same thing [18:15] nono, the gamepad works fine, but ubuntu 10.10 seems to have a bug [18:15] ZykoticK9, how can I check without restarting? [18:15] clu3_: no; that just tell you that the ubuntu kernel does indeed have it enabled ( as (M)odule == loadable driver ) [18:15] the gamepad "take the control" of the mouse and i can't use it [18:15] majid: if you unplug it and put it back, does it work again? [18:15] Flyingwatermelon, I don't know. [18:16] clu3_: so you do not have to make anything. unless perhaps make sure it is loaded « lsmod | grep toshiba » [18:16] how come in gnome when I click places>computer or desktop or home [18:16] l8r everyone - good luck. [18:16] it pops up then goes away? [18:16] * lock lockersnatch [18:16] willemb , Let me test... [18:16] does anyone know how to check grub without restarting? === lock is now known as lockersnatch [18:17] this is causing my machine to hang... any ideas on troubleshooting this? fs1 is pingable [18:17] willemb , Yeah [18:17] Strange thing happened to me while watching youtube video. I paused and stepped away. When I came back screen had all !s on it and I couldn't get back to normal operation. I hard reset and then had vertical blank lines on the POST screen and the OS. I rebooted into Windows and saw different behavior where screen looked about like it was on a closed circuit camera. Shut down removed battery. Now normal. Could this be a Linux virus or rootkit? [18:17] Nov 18 10:08:12 ltsp1 kernel: [ 3943.664469] nfs: server fs1 not responding, still trying [18:17] majid: so I propose you open a terminal and tail -f /var/log/syslog [18:17] erUSUL, that lsmod only have toshiba_bluetooth listed. I have CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m in the /boot/config-2-6... like you said [18:17] and see if anything comes up next time your mouse dies [18:17] If one Ubuntu partition is compromised, is it possible for the "bad person" to reach across into another partition from that one and access stuff? [18:18] MarkSS: Yes. [18:18] MarkSS: yes [18:18] ha [18:18] clu3_:load it « sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi » [18:18] Currently in my upper left corner I have the monitor tag listed. How do I get rid of that? [18:18] ok...compiz issue fixed...but now pidgin is complaining about certificates and I assume due to the openssl updates...any advice on how to fix that? [18:18] MarkSS: do you know which user is the "bad person" [18:18] erUSUL, FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device [18:19] how come in gnome when I click places>computer or desktop or home [18:19] it pops up then goes away? [18:19] clu3_: is a toshiba laptop? [18:19] willemb , OK. I did that. Then what should I do? [18:19] How do I prevent? Well I have a bot program that uses init_socket or something like that. You double-click on it and it connects you to a MUD client. It didn't really have an install. It came in a .bz2 and I opened it up and grabbed the folder out of it and then click on the bot. I am worried it could be something bad. Can't see the code. Don't recall doing sudo for it though. [18:19] erUSUL, yep [18:19] can someone help me with the xbox360 gamepad malfunction? [18:20] erUSUL, toshiba Satellite L645, this year's new model [18:20] Roasted: Are you still in the monitor configuration tool? [18:20] Hey guys, I'm wondering why I'm getting messages appearing during the boot screen with the dots? For instance, one of them said "Staring winbind daemon winbind" but I couldn't find a log of that message in /var/logs or dmesg. [18:20] i already installed package toshutils but didn't help either [18:20] Pici, YES [18:21] Roasted: close it. [18:21] sory caps [18:21] okay, closed. [18:21] Roasted: Are the identifiers still there? [18:21] IsmAvatar: I get those too. [18:21] oh [18:21] Hello all. Got a real simple question that I cannot find the answer to. Running Kubuntu 10.10. Which package provides the libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ? [18:21] Noone knows? [18:21] Pici, sorry I ha dmultiple instances open. [18:21] Pici, no wonder. sorry! but thanks [18:21] Hello Everybody, i just installed ubuntu on a Windows Partition that is placed beneath my Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro. But everytime i install refit to have a nice boot menu, but the whole thing has completly no effect... if i boot the windows/unix partition i get grub to select a system (mac os x / windows and ubuntu are shown and every systems is fine) but refit just won't work... [18:21] Roasted: Tis okay :) [18:21] I can't seem to get vmware installed because it cannot find those libs... [18:21] anyone got a hint for me how i can setup refit the right way? [18:22] (root@desktop1) ~$ [ -d /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ] && echo "Exists." || echo "Doesn't exist." [18:22] Doesn't exist. [18:22] How do I prevent? Well I have a bot program that uses init_socket or something like that. You double-click on it and it connects you to a MUD client. It didn't really have an install. It came in a .bz2 and I opened it up and grabbed the folder out of it and then click on the bot. I am worried it could be something bad. Can't see the code. Don't recall doing sudo for it though. [18:23] Can anyone tell me which package provides those libs, or how I might query to find said package? [18:24] tje2: strange that vmware wouldn't automatically install those libs for you [18:24] or rather, apt-get wouldn't [18:24] tje2: try apt-cache search libname [18:24] Forget that everybody, now it works fine :) [18:24] Hello. How do I change the keybinding for the [shutdown] button in my upper right corner? [18:24] How do I list file permissions from commandline? [18:24] IsmAvatar, Yeah, was a little surprised myself. [18:24] erUSUL, did i miss anything? i just rebooted [18:24] It doesn't say wihch lib it's missing. [18:24] tje2: what does it say? [18:24] MarkSS: How do you prevent what? [18:24] I ran strace(1) against the vmwar-modinstall script and it died with -ENOENT on that /usr/lib/x86... dir [18:25] It does not seem to be in my keybinding config. [18:25] clu3: http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver read the "*Another important note*" [18:25] MarkSS:: ls -l ?

[18:26] I've installed every libc/glibc, gcc, g++, binutils, etc package I can find. [18:27] tje2: Install the build-essential package and linux-headers-generic, or whatever kernel you're using on there. [18:27] so you need the gcc g++ and linux-image-headers-* packages i guess [18:27] Pici, Good idea... Let me try that. [18:27] I *think* I already did build-essential, but let m double check. [18:27] and you might need the kbuild packages for your kernel too [18:27] hi === Guest62129 is now known as dexterchief [18:28] Pici, IT says both packages are already newest version (build-essential and linux-headers-generic) [18:28] :) [18:28] HA [18:28] LOL === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 [18:29] to the sheriffs : I don't think that jochen's commit has to do with the buildbot failure it is not touching webkit === Guest46660 is now known as viki [18:29] <||cw> Looking for RAID opinions, mostly in stability, speed, and manageability. ubuntu 10.04 x64, 16 disks, some sata some sas.

(it's blocked by my country's operator) how do change the dns on ubuntu? [18:29] pastarmovj: #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu would probably be the right place to discuss that.

It is located at http://netbluehosting.com/sites/default/files/nano2010.txt . gEdit won't open it at all [18:38] IsmAvatar: interesting, booting "Legacy OS" has exactly the same effekt like booting Unix, Grub is shown [18:38] Cygn: I don't know if you can replace rEFit with Grub perhaps, but you might have more luck asking on a rEFit support channel. [18:38] IsmAvatar: There isn't one :( [18:38] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: that is a binary file [18:38] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: not a text file [18:38] Cygn: mailing list, etc? [18:39] it is a text file. It was written using FocusWriter and has opened with gedit before [18:39] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: what is focuswriter? [18:39] hello everyone [18:39] Cygn: maybe try asking these guys to see if they know how to replace rEFit with grub [18:39] im having the hardest time trying to blacklist my intel video card [18:39] Hi lee [18:39] leealis, why are you trying to blacklist the video card? [18:39] Cygn: otherwise, that's the best I can help. [18:40] It is a simple text editor for Writers who use linux. Kinda like scrivner on mac. http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ [18:40] because i have 2 [18:40] IsmAvatar: Its an idea i will try my luck , thank you very much [18:40] i have the intel and nvidia [18:40] Using Skype in Intrepid, i could talk into my laptop's speakers and use them as a mic (headphones as headphones), in Meerkat i the speakers only work to make noise not as a microphone, how do i make the laptop speakers work as a microphone? [18:40] plug your speakers into the microphone slot [18:40] leealis, oh ok then the best thing to do is to remove the nvidia driver and use the intel card but let me check online just in case hold on [18:40] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: that is definitely not a valid text file [18:40] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: maybe it was corrupted [18:40] yes sir! [18:40] leealis: i i am talking about the built in speakers [18:40] ohhh [18:40] i see [18:40] leealis, are you trying to use a different card like apci rather than an onboard? if so set pci card as default in your BIOS [18:41] i dont have that option in my bios [18:41] leealis, is the nvidia card onboard or pcie or agp? [18:41] hi, i've got a problem with booting ubuntu 10.10, the installation went good, but it cannot boot and hangs with a black screen with a white underscore flicking on and off. It's the only OS installed on the disk. anyone ? [18:41] That is what I'm thinking. Any ideas on how to recover it. It was 33,000 words. Seams like a text file would be the easiest thing to recover. Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624617 [18:41] server devilirc [18:41] Thanks for the help BTW [18:41] umm. well its a laptop so they're both on board i guess === szymon_ is now known as jeff__ [18:42] leealis, ok yes ,, I have seen this before hold on [18:42] kerryhatcher: Seems like you're trying to defeat the purpose of FocusWriter by bringing up so-called clutter interfaces. :( [18:42] huh? [18:42] join #aquilone [18:42] <_jesse_> kerryhatcher: I don't have any experience recovering files on ubuntu; looks like some others are helping you in the thread though [18:42] pidgin is giving me problems... when I try to log in with my Windows Live account it says that it couldn't authenticate... the username and the password are right, and I can connect with Empathy. any ideas? [18:42] Can anyone explain what playbin is? I get an error about that when I try to start GnoMenu on 10.04. When I tried it on my 9.10 livecd it did work though, so is it possible that I need to reinstall something(checked updates)? If so how do I find out what to reinstall? [18:43] kerryhatcher: Can't you open it with FocusWriter though? [18:43] The last few lines of the file are there but everything else is gibberish, same result with vim and cat === sebner_ is now known as sebner [18:43] leealis, mm still searching ,, i found an old ubuntu forum post but that was for ubuntu 5.04 :) [18:43] leealis, so hold on [18:43] HaPK_PerCar: check port number and disable using of gnome proxy [18:44] okay lol take your time [18:44] Hey guys, I'm wondering why I'm getting messages appearing during the boot screen with the dots? For instance, one of them said "Staring winbind daemon winbind" but I couldn't find a log of that message in /var/logs or dmesg. [18:44] padhu, port number is 1863, is that right? [18:45] kerryhatcher: I see. You lost the file. I would think. [18:45] hi, i've got a problem with booting ubuntu 10.10, the installation went good, but it cannot boot and hangs with a black screen with a white underscore flicking on and off. It's the only OS installed on the disk. anyone ? [18:45] leealis, in the bios ..there should be a setting to disable one or the other video chipset...did you check there??? [18:46] kerryhatcher: Those last sentences are probably the latest additions to the now-corrupted file. I'm saying what I'm thinking. [18:46] noob: when it hangs, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. That should get you into a terminal. [18:46] HaPK_PerCar: 6667 [18:46] noob: If so, maybe something wrong with the video driver. [18:46] i need someone who is pretty pro with bash: how can i inject keystrokes into it?(running latest ubuntu server build) [18:46] leealis, out of curiosity in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [18:46] yes i did check there. when i go into my bios the only option it has is it says. VGA. and under the VGA is says hybrid works only in windows [18:47] kerryhatcher: You could try and contact Graeme Gott -- The developer for FocusWriter. If he added something that cause it -- that could be the culprit. Good luck. [18:47] type that in [18:47] ? [18:47] leealis, mmm ok hold on [18:47] mjkent: Using 'expect'? You may want to ask in #bash though for the real gurus. [18:47] ok [18:47] red2kic: that would make sense. Here is what happend: Girlfriend is writing in FocusWriter, GF saves file, GF closes FW, GF does a hard power off cuz she didn't know that was a bad thing to do. [18:47] Pici: thanks, i'll look into that and switch over to #bash on freenode [18:47] coz_: i typed in that vga and it still says my intel is being used [18:48] Reboots and bam [18:48] join #bash [18:48] I have my desktop effects enabled but they are not doing anything. could this be because there is an 'ON' key I don't know about? having 2 video cards? or something else? [18:49] IsmAvatar, ok. i will reboot, press ctrl+alt+f1 and if i get in a terminal it would be something with the video driver... if that is the case, would it be a good thing to test if i can boot without the card and use the onboard chip instead ? if it doesnt work, how can i get the right driver(s) for it from the terminal ? [18:49] oh crap [18:49] kerryhatcher: Instruct your girlfriend not to do that again. NO MORE HARD POWER. Teach her to shut down properly. [18:49] no ubuntu is missing :( [18:49] now [18:49] language! [18:49] kerryhatcher: But as for the file -- well. I only can hope she did not type far enough. [18:49] leealis, mm as I thought ,,, and has I have suggested in the past... use the intel card and remove the nvidia driver... again ..is there a reason you dont want to use the intel video??? [18:50] i just wanted to experiment with some games through wine and see how the fps stacked up [18:50] red2kick: O I did.... [18:50] how do i limit a user to one directory and all subdirs with rwx? [18:51] how do i purge the nvidia now [18:51] leealis, ah understood... off hand I cant think of anyway of blacklisting the intel onboard video over the nvidia onboard,,, there most certainly should be a way of doing this... ah try the ##linux channel to see if they can deal with issue and let me know if they come up with a solution [18:51] i know the command but what is nvidia called [18:51] ok [18:52] noob: It can't hurt to try the onboard chip instead. Once in the terminal, you can use apt-get to install some software that might help you along, like "link" which is a cli web browser, and then a cli irc client, like irssi or weechat or bitchx or epic - so you can talk to us from there if you'd like. [18:52] leealis, in the mean time I will keep seraching [18:52] okay [18:52] so to remove the nvidia what file is it called? [18:52] I have tried to extract a file, and once its complete the folder is empty [18:52] noob: I'm not very good with installing video drivers, though, so once you're there, it'd be best to ask someone else on this cahnnel [18:53] channel* [18:53] noob: use irssi for irc, elinks for web browsing on the console. [18:53] IsmAvatar, i am pretty new to ubuntu so i am trying to understand the new things, so can you explain to me how to get here trough the terminal so i can write it down ? :) [18:53] rougeleaf: what format? [18:54] noob: are you familiar with apt-get? [18:54] can anyone please tell me why ubuntu keep going to sleep wven though transmission is runnning and its been set to block of hibernate [18:54] mmm...guys a simple noob question if i may [18:54] tar.bz2 [18:54] say hello [18:54] tar cvfj archive_name.tar.bz2 dirname/ [18:54] IsmAvatar, i have read about it i guess, sounds familiar but i cannot remember anything of it so i guess not [18:54] how to take of all the hash lines in a file and how to batch commands in terminal? [18:54] hello [18:55] are there any size restrictions? [18:55] help [18:55] geboy, use sed [18:55] when i type the command, fdisk -l, i get this error message: [18:55] noob: it's used to install programs, so you don't need to go to the program's website, download it, and install it or anything. You just use apt-get and magic happens. [18:55] <abdelkhalak> Warning: Partition 6 does not end on cylinder boundary. [18:55] sed? [18:55] I have a slow linux box on a vm, and when its slow I see a lot of aciotn on kjournald2, what migth that indicate [18:56] rougeleaf: sorry, if you're extracting... [18:56] tar xvfj archive_name.tar.bz2 [18:56] sed -e s#$VARNAME=.*#$VARNAME=$NEWVALUE# < $FILE ... I use this command to replace the value of environment vars in /etc/environment with a script. The problem is that this command also replaces vars with the name "anything$VARNAME=". What can I do to make this command match the exact varname? [18:56] rougeleaf: not that i know of [18:56] spope: well, this is a journaling filesystem [18:56] noob: you'll want to use it to install a web browser and an irc client that you can use from the command line. To do this, `sudo apt-get install irssi elinks` without quotes. It'll ask for your password and then it'll ask if you're sure you want to install (hit the Y key and press enter). [18:56] IsmAvatar, i am reading about it now, i should type 'apt-get install irssi' right ? [18:57] How does one do a check sum of a file? [18:57] noob: prepend with `sudo ` because apt-get requires root priviledges [18:57] spope: maybe it is the FS updating its DB [18:57] rougeleaf, man md5sum [18:57] !md4 | rougeleaf [18:57] or man sha1sum [18:57] geboy, sed -n -e 's/^#//p' your_file [18:57] !md5 | rougeleaf [18:57] rougeleaf: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:57] Hey. What is a suggested setup for win+linux machine partitions ? If i have one terabyte unallocated disk. I'm about to install windows7. Should I make an extended partition first or how to roll [18:57] !sha1 | rougeleaf [18:57] spope: fs = filesystem db = database [18:57] geboy, watch that command [18:57] <_jesse_> rougeleaf: also cksum [18:57] geboy, it will only show what will happend [18:58] Ни кто не знает как выполнить консольную команду , посредством php ? [18:58] bash_ using regex, right? now how to batch commands like say i want to copy the original files first and strip all the hashed lines? [18:58] !ru | waal [18:58] waal: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:58] woah now [18:58] !ru | waal [18:59] lockersnatch, what do you mean FD updating in DB? [18:59] IsmAvatar, allright, i think i understand it, so i need to type sudo before it because of priviledges and in your example it will install the irc client and a browser (irssi and elinks) right ? [18:59] noob: once they are installed, you should then be able to simply type `irssi` to get your irc client running, and it should ask you for the stuff you need to get you to this channel. You can use tty2 to multitask with the web browser while you're still in IRC. To do this, hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open tty2. Hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to tty1 with your irc client again. [18:59] what is a good way of diagnosing slowness and why its happening? [18:59] geboy, hashed lines you mean lines that start with # ? [18:59] noob: correct [18:59] geboy, you want to remove comments [18:59] spope: it might be the filesystem updating its database of existing files [18:59] bash_: yes, absolutely correct [19:00] IsmAvatar, allright, i hope i'll be back here in about 10 minutes saying it worked, or that im in the terminal ;) [19:00] spope: because this is a journaling filesystem [19:00] IsmAvatar, thanks :) [19:00] noob: sorry, tty2 means `terminal 2`. Ctrl+Alt+F1 through F6 are your 6 ttys. [19:00] bash: i want to clean some conf files [19:00] spope: top [19:00] anyone know when the forum will be back? [19:01] noob: good luck. We can help you more when you come back. [19:01] IsmAvatar, should i try all six of them if the f1 doesnt work then ? [19:01] spope: yes, what goltoof said, run 'top' and you can see a live view of processes currently running on your system [19:01] sed -i -e '/^#/d' your_file [19:01] verbeck: They're working now. [19:01] spope: very similar to 'task manager' in windows [19:01] noob: No. If F1 doesn't work, none of them will, and you have a problem deeper than a display driver. [19:01] geboy, sed -i -e '/^#/d' your_file [19:01] noob: although it won't hurt to try the other 5 [19:02] geboy, will remove all lines that start with # [19:02] Jordan_U: are you here yet, i'm trying to figure out gddrescue on my own and it looks quite daunting. i would really appreciate your help [19:02] lockersnatch: not exactly.. lol [19:02] IsmAvatar, lets hope it's not a deep problem since i am a total newbie, anyways, thanks. i'm giving it a shot [19:02] Pici: thanx [19:03] bash_: thanks alot [19:03] goltoof: you wouldnt say that top is similar to task manager? [19:03] i installed ubuntu 10.10 inside windows Xp....but when i boot into it....i end up with a prompt... GRUB> ......what is wrong....??please help!! [19:03] lockersnatch: well you can't right click and kill a process.. takes a little more elbow grease [19:04] goltoof: i think you're splitting hairs, i was just trying to make an analogy that might be easier for windows users to understand [19:04] spope: are you using apache? [19:04] Hey guys, I'm wondering why I'm getting messages appearing during the boot screen with the dots? For instance, one of them said "Staring winbind daemon winbind" but I couldn't find a log of that message in /var/logs or dmesg. [19:05] You installed it inside of Windows XP, what does that mean? VMWare? [19:05] MikeHoncho: virtual machine ware [19:05] goltoof, yes its a lamp box [19:06] lockersnatch : I know what VMWare is. I was asking the guy who said he installed Ubuntu inside of XP. [19:06] !relax | lockersnatch ... i was only referencing the fact that windows task manager is gui, ubuntu tools are mostly cli.. and in turn more powerful [19:06] IsmAvatar: messages from the init system are susually lost/ not logged anywhere [19:06] MikeHoncho, or more likely using wubi [19:06] oh im cool man, was just trying to keep it simple for him [19:07] spope: update apache/mysql etc, make sure you're not doing anything that might be taxing it [19:07] erUSUL: then what use are they? Why do they bother appearing there? They go by so fast that I can't read more than 1 of them. [19:07] ive already run apt upgrade [19:07] IsmAvatar: well a ubuntu system with splash should not show them [19:07] its running the same software another VM is running, but the other box isn't as slow [19:08] spope: have you googled what kjournal2 is and what it does? [19:08] sumitkv2:what you used for installing ubuntu 10.04 inside Windows XP ? Is it a wubi installation? [19:08] yea, its a kernel level filesystem process [19:08] mansoluvlucid, yeah!!!wubi it is! [19:08] spope: why would be running it on two machines? [19:09] erUSUL: It... kinda does have a splash. It's a purple screen with the word "Ubuntu" in the middle and 4 dots below it, but it looks like it's just text. Primped down a bit from the 10.04 splash screen... [19:09] production and dev [19:10] I have two VMs, one is production (which is running fast), and the dev box is running really slow [19:10] spope, no idea :) [19:11] me either, all I can think of is there are more databases on the dev box and its casuing memory issues with mysql [19:11] hitting the swap file a lot [19:11] spope: that could be very likely.. sounds like bad db admin [19:11] spope, are they on the same host? If so, they're probably competing for resources. While VMs are great, they do ultimitely depend on the host hardware, and that's a very finite resource.

[19:50] How can I stop the social accounts dialog from popping up and stealing focus all the time? === jeff_ is now known as Guest34064 [19:51] Any chance is anyone here running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Gateway nv52 laptop? [19:51] mansoluvlucid, yeah...live cd works fine....m having troubles with real install tooo...installation proceeds fine...but at the time of booting it says "grub resuce.no such partition" [19:51] goltoof, make some user, depending on the ftp server it usually defaults to users home dir [19:53] brontoeee: no home dir for this user.. user can access everything on server but can't write.. it only needs rwx access to public web folder [19:53] xangua, yeah...live cd works fine....m having troubles with real install tooo...installation proceeds fine...but at the time of booting it says "grub resuce.no such partition" [19:53] just.. totally ignorant how to change the user settings [19:54] ok just installed ubuntu, where do I change the settings for sloppy focus? should I use gconf-editor or is there a better way? [19:55] xangua, yeah...live cd works fine....m having troubles with real install tooo...installation proceeds fine...but at the time of booting it says "grub resuce.no such partition" [19:55] goltoof, i did something like 'sudo mount --bind /var/www/folder /home/user/folder' and then set the permissions from there [19:56] brontoeee: hmm, worth a shot.. sounds a little redundant having to create a home dir when the user doesn't need one [19:56] mkay, another approach to the problem. Does anyone know if there is a way to identify if a wireless usb device in present and functioning but not configured correctly to communicate with the router. How can you tell if said device is working? [19:56] qzio: as in focus when moving the cursor over a window? System-Preferences-CompizConfig I think (not sure if it's installed by default= [19:57] sumitkv2:i think your grub2 file is not installed on masterbootrecord.(On my system hda).Try a fresh install or try to run $sudo apt-get install grub2 $sudo grub2-update. First command installs grub2 and second command updates Menu list on boot screen. Use live cd. [19:58] mansoluvlucid, thnx will try it! [19:58] hello everybody! === dmitryk is now known as dmitry_k [19:59] Hi guys, I need some help with ubuntu, is this right channel for getting help or is there separate helpchannel? [19:59] Asystole: This is the official support channel, just ask :) [20:00] I have two harddrives and the smaller (with ubuntu / ) is full, is there smooth way of getting the another disk for use [20:01] Its now just like "media" and programs cant use it [20:01] but i can save stuff on it [20:02] i have a little problem with nm-applet: it doesn't start when i boot my maverick,but in "startup applications" Network Manager is checked.. === andrea is now known as Guest14324 === Guest14324 is now known as AndreaAzzarone [20:03] hi, i use ubuntu lucid, on alacarte 0.13.1, i couldn't login, try to compile from source , but still couldn't use, do you suggest someting (new way to use, or alternative application etc.) [20:03] I did a distribution upgrade on my parents Xubuntu computer, but it upgraded to Ubuntu. Their machine is really old and cannot handle Ubuntu. How do I convert back to Xubuntu? [20:05] Can anyone hear me? [20:05] nope [20:05] firewalker22: yes [20:05] because i should be sleeping [20:05] damnit. [20:05] lol well at least I got an answer to that, I guess wireless usb is just to sticky to touch. [20:06] Enigmati1Coder: I think you could do it with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, then remove ubuntu-desktop (you can leave it in there but you'll get to chose when logging in. [20:06] Enigmati1Coder: If they have the hard disk space you don't have to remove anything. You can just install xubuntu-desktop package then make sure to select xubuntu/xfce at GDM. [20:06] ty both [20:07] what about alacarte? [20:07] Enigmati1Coder, sure it didnt just set ubuntu/gnome as default session? maybe xubuntu session is still available to choose at login [20:08] For some reason I cant update my ubuntu 9.10 in via system update. I click update but nothing happens. any thoughts? [20:09] Guest97661, update or upgrade? [20:09] duffydack: Well, I get a terminal login [20:10] hi, i have the following proccess eating 80% of the cpu "/usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-zA10pI/database -nolisten tcp vt7" [20:10] Any help? My root is on 4gt drive and its out of space, how i get my second (larger) drive used for the stuff. [20:10] BluesKaj, update [20:10] if i reboot is the same [20:10] TwoD: I tried sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and it said it's already installed. Then I tried removing ubuntu-desktop and it said it wasn't installed [20:10] does anybody know what the hell is that? [20:11] Asystole, you can either mount a folder of the full disk into the large disk [20:11] Asystole, or just ln -s a folder [20:11] kusanagi: Thats your XWindows server [20:11] kusanagi, X (short for Xorg) is the GUI environment [20:11] How do I choose Xubuntu at GDM. Also, how do I close all old sessions? [20:11] ty [20:12] Enigmati1Coder, click your user name then select Sessions at the bottom [20:12] Enigmati1Coder: then you should be able to switch between them by logging out [20:12] I want to run a different window manger then GNOME. I installed awesome. I see a /usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop. I have a 'User Defined Session' in the list in GDM. I log in with this and get GNOME. What do I do now? [20:12] Enigmati1Coder: old sessions? [20:12] I'd much rather just use a .xinitrc [20:12] nvm about the sessions [20:12] I thought maybe I had many building up [20:12] can I use a .xinitrc with exec awesome in GDM? [20:12] pici ZykoticK9_ is that a normal call for the Xorg? is there a way to know why X is eating 80% even when i am doing nothing? [20:13] kusanagi, NOT normal [20:13] TwoD: What do you mean switch between them by logging out? [20:13] TwoD: I am only prompted with a terminal login. Ubuntu doesn't work right but Xubuntu does [20:14] which package should I install to get some kind of configurator for compiz/gnome? [20:14] Enigmati1Coder: at the login screen you should see a select list where you can chose window manager, but I'm not sure why you get a terminal [20:14] TwoD: Is there a way to choose a window manager through terminal [20:15] hi to all [20:15] TwoD: Is the only difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu the window manager? [20:15] are there a way for run linux kernel without any module? [20:15] Enigmati1Coder, yes, I think so ... [20:15] Enigmati1Coder, get that confirmed ... [20:16] Hello, Does anyone know the md5sum for ubuntu server 10.04.1 i386 iso?

I'm having a problem running up a deamon. where can I see the logs? I guess it use the linux logs [20:24] ersul, i have to compile the kernel? [20:24] hi all, I'm a linux newbie... and I ran into a real problem! I ahve been backing up linux for the last few months with Clonezilla... now my boss wants me to install re-install our setup onto a new server with a different processor, raid system etc... and I'm getting a gazillion errors...!! linux doesn't like all these changes... is there an old school method to use (TAR ??) [20:24] instead of a disk image, would this TAR method of backup and restore work? or is that just used for data files and not OS files... like will it resore my mysql installation, php stuff etc... or just the data files [20:25] question, I have a src package that I need to make a custom change to, so I want to change the version. where in the src is the version set? I've tried changing debian/control, tried dpkg-buildpackage -vVERSION, there seems to be something overriding it.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:26] hi [20:27] sup fellas [20:27] whats crackin? === adrian is now known as Guest94187 [20:28] WEP, WPA, the usual :) [20:28] ok ok [20:28] kewl [20:29] wish there was a 1 button click for cracking them man [20:29] :) [20:29] lol, well, you could program it that way :) [20:29] yeah I guess... script huh [20:29] anyone aware of a otr plugin for empathy [20:30] bmw, would remastersys be an option? [20:30] doesn't support ext4 [20:30] :( [20:30] bmw: tar is just a file archiving tool. It would be like making zip files of different paths on your server, it would still be a manual task of figuring out what you needed to backup. [20:30] Pici: thats what i had thought :( [20:31] heh! I'm looking for a way to optimize my apt/sources.lst. Is there a tool for finding the best mirror? [20:31] from #debian: joshy_: there is apt-spy and netselect-apt [20:31] bmw: what r u trying to backup? [20:31] which is the best ssh key to use, rsa or dsa? [20:32] hmmm... apt-spy is no longer in the Ubuntu repository for releases newer than feisty. [20:32] Pici: I found this website, but not sure if this TAr command would backup everything http://www.aboutdebian.com/tar-backup.htm [20:32] joshy_: apt-fast [20:32] joshy_: its super fast bro [20:32] :) [20:32] guess thats why they named it that [20:32] bmw: tar will archive what you tell it to archive...you can specify the whole filesystem, certain directories, or certain files === Guest91296 is now known as Whtiger [20:33] hi [20:34] i've fixed the alacarte problem from this site ; http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3079054 [20:34] Fredricho: low [20:34] can i get wine support here? [20:34] Hey all... So for some reason on my laptop, I can't right click with my touch pad. I used to be able to, but not anymore. Now using Ubuntu 10.10 [20:34] Fredricho: The best place to ask about wine would be in #winehq [20:34] thanks man [20:34] Fredricho: good luck [20:35] bmw: That looks comprehensive. [20:36] Flips a coin: HEADS [20:36] Pici: would that work, or would i still have to manually setup mysql, php etc..and all my custom stuff [20:36] <--Ubuntu noob [20:37] <-- l33t [20:37] bmw: It would work, but you may have the same issue that you're having with the clone. [20:37] Pici, fair enpough I will give it a try..... [20:38] Pici: I guess Linux is diff than windows in that way, you can't just zip everything up in windows and resotre it without a disk image...like system stuff etc...

[20:41] hellzyeah boyee [20:41] !netsplit [20:41] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[20:45] /var/log [20:45] or an alternative to apt-spy [20:46] The point is that my ubuntu needs more space but i dont know how to give space from another drive to ubuntu.

[20:54] Flyounet, what package? [20:54] Barnabas: nearly all :) [20:55] That's it, i'm dropping Ubuntu :( too sad, would loved to develop there instead of Mac OS X [20:55] Aeronius: It's not a speedup patch, it's a responsiveness path that helps in very specific curcomstances [20:55] Thank you all anyway... [20:55] Flyounet, whats the error code description or text please use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [20:55] Jordan_U: Memory [20:55] 325 MiB (37 %) of 874.3 MiB [20:55] Swap [20:55] 2.3 MiB (0.5 %) of 470.6 MiB [20:55] aboleth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:57] or, anyone else have problems with vsftpd that can recommend a different package? [20:57] Is anyone familiar with UEC? I have a few questions. [20:58] pureftpd [20:58] Nix82: is that what you use? [20:58] Nix82: #ubuntu-server would the best place to ask UEC questions :) [20:58] anyone know how wireless keyboards/mouse sets work? -- I note from blurbs that they say 'compatible with windows' (not linux) --- will they work with ubuntu? -- I just want to buy a cheap wireless keyboard/mouse -- it will work with ubuntu right? (really I am not sure) [20:58] Whats that floodbot thing ?? [20:58] On my webservers yes, I normally use vsftpd on all other machines [20:58] whats your problem with vsftpd? [20:58] Pici thank you [20:58] Jordan_U: well it would certainly help me, so is it going to be in the next kernel? or am I going to have to upgrade to 11.04? [20:59] Nix82: vsftpd won't start. says the process is running, but its not. http://paste.ubuntu.com/534005/ [20:59] Is 9.10 even going to get the next kernal? [20:59] Hi people. [20:59] Jordan_U: so what should i do now? [20:59] hi [20:59] Aeronius: It's very unlikely that 9.10 will get a newer major version of the kernel. [20:59] GeekyAdam: Try ps -ef | grep 15984 [20:59] How can i find out what kernel module is loaded for a particular subsystem. I know i can use ismod and modinfo etc, but what i really want is a terminal command (or set of) to get the loaded module for say audio or video? Whats the best method? Can anyone help? [21:00] Nix82: just tried it, nothin [21:00] i am creating rootfs of ubuntu using rootstock command [21:00] i just got the impression they were hardware -- usb dongle (wireless keyboards) -- should work with ubuntu right? [21:00] GeekyAdam: Check your configuration file, it might be an issue there. Its normally /etc/vsftpd/conf/vsftpd.conf [21:00] is there any way to copy required deb packages to local system so that next time while creating rootfs i can use local path instaed of ubuntu repository [21:01] Nix82: already checked that out but just in case, ill delete it, remove vsftpd, then reinstall from apt-get for a new conf file [21:01] Aeronius: I belive this will work with 9.10, though I haven't tested it myself: http://blog.glock.co.za/cgroup-user-space-speed-patch [21:01] question, I have a src package that I need to make a custom change to, so I want to change the version. where in the src is the version set? I've tried changing debian/control, tried dpkg-buildpackage -vVERSION, there seems to be something overriding it. [21:01] does ubuntu server have any of its own tools for managing VPSes? I'm looking for tools where I can allow different users to control and console to different guests/VPSes [21:01] GeekyAdam: If all else fails just use pureftpd, its clean and quick just like vsftpd. [21:01] Nix82: roger that, thx for the help [21:02] no problem [21:02] Barnabas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/534009/ [21:03] aboleth: The recommended minimum amount of RAM for Ubuntu is 1 GiG, so there is a chance that you ran out of memory even if ddrescue was writing to the drive. It's odd that it would leave a zero byte file in that case though. [21:03] Flyounet, I am an French language illiterate [21:03] but it seems you need dependenceis [21:03] dependencies [21:03] i'd be pretty sure actually that wireless keyboards just work the same as normal keyboards with ubuntu [21:03] Barnabas: Yes but they won't be installed [21:04] anyone to help me in pegdin ? [21:04] pidgin* [21:04] alpine101: wireless keyboards/mice have a receiver which is connected to the computer - so from the computers' (OS) point of view they are not different [21:04] i am using pidgin -- whats the problem [21:04] ok thanks guntbert [21:04] alpine101: it give me cretificate error [21:04] ssl [21:04] Flyounet, perhaps the scrooge pkg you with to install refer to pkg to early for your system? [21:05] any experience with runing maverick from usb flash drive in some sort of permanent manner? + is it hard to duplicate such system? [21:05] certificates are I beleive are 'security certificicates' to do with web authentificaciton -- not sure but some networks require authentification -- username password -- for instance freenode you need to register with a site -- if it's asking for a 'certificate' it's asking for security verification (who are you?) [21:05] + can ram be alocated as some sort of storage? [21:05] Barnabas: probably, i discover with apt-cache policy that two repository give two versions of kde [21:06] maybe just completely reset up your security then analyse the specific error message [21:06] Flyounet, you should check your apt config then [21:06] Jordan_U: will it be in the latest version of Ubuntu? [21:06] Jordan_U: what should i do now? [21:06] Is there a way to make the software center queue apps while others are installing, making it take half the time? [21:07] aboleth: You could try using a lighter weight LiveCD. grml is one I like and it comes with ddrescue on the CD. [21:07] Barnabas : 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 Packages & 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages [21:07] Jordan_U: does it still have a way to connect to irc on it? [21:07] CkhiKuzad: "sudo apt-get install -y app1 app2 app3" will install all 3 [21:08] CkhiKuzad: you could also use the software center [21:09] is there a way to get a list with packages that are get installed since setting up the system [21:09] ? [21:09] Geeky, I use apt a lot. I prefer it over SC because its faster. I want to figure out how to make the center download and install faster by hacking my own system [21:09] joshy_: you mean excluding the ones that were installed by default? i'm afraid not... [21:09] non [21:09] sorry [21:09] LjL: yess [21:09] Hi :) [21:09] joshy_: however you can know what packages were recently installed (in the last three days or so) by looking at /var/log/dpkg.log [21:10] Eclipse - Biss zum Abendrot [21:10] aboleth: Yes, though the included client appears to be irssi, which is terminal based and takes a bit to learn. [21:11] LjL: there i also get the updates... [21:11] Hi, I want to get the network icon from where I can connect Wireless/Ethernet/VPN etc. [21:12] Jordan_U: i'm gonna try it on the livecd right now so i can talk while on grml [21:12] I have network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed. [21:12] How to get connection initiator? [21:12] joshy_: yes, but upgrades are marked as such so you can exclude them. takes a bit of grepping i guess [21:13] Hi all, Just asking a quick question to have some people opinion. My server are Ubuntu's. I want to know if there is a way that i can manage the windows destkop(update,installation of software etc.) close to what you could do with windows server? [21:13] LjL: aptitude has a fine logfile... in dpkg i don't find a way to view the differences [21:14] ubuntu 10.10 I plugged in a USB Game Controller to use with ZSNES and when I press button 2 it left clicks my mouse and when I press button 3 it right clicks my mouse [21:14] this irssi program looks cool [21:14] aboleth: You can also use Firefox + http://webchat.freenode.net . [21:14] Is there a way to get an ISO that sets up an ubuntu server system as close as possible to what the EC2 AMI images do? [21:14] and the dpad moves my mouse [21:15] how do I change my registered nick? [21:15] hi b0gatyr [21:15] joshy_, entries for programs that are going to be newly installed will start with "install", while ones for upgrades start with "upgrade" [21:16] joshy_: example for install - 2010-10-18 19:55:52 install ttf-droid 1.00~b112+dfsg-0ubuntu1 [21:16] Jordan_U: i'm trying that now, it sounds much easier [21:16] joshy_: example for upgrade - 2010-10-06 19:20:49 upgrade gopchop 1.1.7-7 1.1.8-2 [21:16] shane4ubuntu: support for using the network in #freenode please [21:16] guntbert, thanks! [21:16] shane4ubuntu: :) [21:17] one second i'm going to log out of irc on empathy and try on the website [21:19] Anyone had problems similar to http://i.imgur.com/DiHvU.jpg ? intel i915 graphics card.

[21:22] hello all. im looking to install ubuntu 10.04 on a non computer savvy friends laptop. It has a ati radeon rs690m x1200 graphics card and im wondering what driver it should use to get the best performance. right now i have the livecd booted and it works well...but i dont think its using the ati driver...also under the hardware drivers in the menus it does not show anything [21:22] Cant find a way to change the loging gui on Kubuntu 10.4 , anyone? [21:22] sec^nd: expr 2 + 2 [21:22] Jordan_U: ok, well then i'll download grml and try everything on there [21:22] i have alwasy had nvidia cards...so everything ati is new to me === shane4ubuntu is now known as ubuntu4shane [21:23] Wicked : normaly, on your first boot you should have a windows that pop up to install the driver. The same way if you had an nvidia card [21:23] ok so thats normal for nothing to show up in the hardware drivers part in the livecd? === ubuntu4shane is now known as shane4ubuntu [21:24] LjL: you are right... the log file is to big... but there is no difference between installing of dependences or normal install [21:24] Wicked : that im not so sure [21:24] Wicked, Nokio i thought ati users should stick with noveau stuff right now? [21:24] my friend mostly uses this computer for web browsing/video watching and music...but id like to get all his hardware working as best it can [21:25] brontosaurusrex, Wicked : im an all time nvidia user. so i cant tell :p but it is true that there is those nouveau driver available now [21:25] what is the command for unwrapping your ext4 hdd passphrase? I remember it was something like unwrap-hdd-passphrase [21:25] i thought the nouveau drivers where nvidia [21:25] joshy_: no, dpkg knows nothing about that. but there should be a list of things installed manually somewhere - aptitude has a command to obtain it [21:25] Flyounet, i386?

Maybe there they can help me [22:07] Please, can anyone tell me where I "activate" my network? [22:07] on x chat on the stop you can get a list [22:08] kimael: don't see an icon in the top right? [22:08] kimael: should be deactivated, right click to activate, left click to connect to network [22:08] gustavo-ferreira, paisano #ubuntu-devel [22:08] little offtopic: where can i get an free bash-shell? [22:09] Ñ ñ ahah ! [22:09] ahahahah! [22:09] ahahahah! [22:09] goltoof: hmmm It is written "Networking disabled" (in french) and I can not really click or something. [22:09] Can I type commands to know my network status ? [22:09] TONHOBUFFEN: thank you a lot! [22:10] kimael: yes, ifconfig shows interfaces [22:10] np, buida!!! ;) [22:10] What file contains the configuration? [22:10] kimael: /etc/network/interfaces [22:11] /etc/network/intefaces => auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback\n\nauto eth0 [22:11] How do u defrag? [22:11] and I don't event have ethernet connexion working when I plug a cable :'( [22:11] GP40MC: you don't with ext-fs [22:11] so anyone know why programs i run with OpenGL always segfault? I have an ATI 4570 graphics card [22:12] DEFRAG is for Windows only. Good file systems to not fragment enough to need a defrag. [22:12] i use reiserfs? [22:12] GP40MC: doesn't need defraging either [22:13] hi. what is the default clipboard manager for ubuntu?? i would like to clear the contents from the terminal. [22:14] Seriously, is it so complicated to have an ethernet connexion in ubuntu ? [22:14] It was ok, I updated, no ko.... so sorry :/ [22:15] crawler: man xclip [22:15] what's the best way to do a complete back up of an ubuntu install, so that I can re write it to the drive and boot like normal? [22:15] is it necessary to use something like acronis true image? [22:16] Jordan_U: "No manual entry for xclip" [22:16] crawler: sudo apt-get install xclip [22:16] Jordan_U: i don't really want to have to install another clipboard manager, but clear the existing one that's used in ubuntu [22:17] kimael: right click > enable networking [22:17] it seems that xclipboard is already installed, but i get this when i try to run it: "xclipboard --help Error: another clipboard is already running" [22:18] so how do i tell which clipboard is already running? [22:18] crawler: xclip manages the builtin X clipboard. [22:18] goltoof: I can not. [22:18] goltoof: is there a service I can run? a configuration I can check ? [22:18] kimael: try this.. sudo pkill gnome-panel [22:19] Jordan_U: ok, i see. so there's no way to manipulate the contents of the x clipboard without installing a clipboard manager? [22:19] goltoof: I do not use Gnome [22:19] kimael: curious why you can't even click the icon... buggy, buggery little gnome-panel [22:19] kimael: oh what then? [22:20] goltoof: KDE sometimes, but here I use tty. [22:20] Joh: You can use "dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/backup.img" or there are many GUI backup tools that will do the same type of thing. There is no need to buy proprietary software. [22:20] !backup | Joh [22:20] as I think the problem could be coming from something on graphical startup.... [22:20] Joh: There are many ways to back your system up.

[23:05] Dazza71: because to know how to install them, you need to read the install instructions, that's why it matters [23:05] and the install instructions will be on the driver cd ? [23:05] where i find a list with packet-mirrors? [23:05] crawler, i didnt know if it is dangerous for me thats why iasked :P anyway take care [23:06] Dazza71: I don't know, you need to find them, you said you got the linux drivers, where did you get the linux drivers [23:06] Snobfrog: this is nothing to do with ubuntu - please take it to ##windows [23:06] when i connect the ethernet cable to the xbox and try to connect it trys and fails [23:06] how would i know if i had the linux drivers [23:06] ikonia, when i connect the ethernet cable to the xbox and try to connect it trys and fails [23:06] Dazza71: as I've said, Brother has poor linux support, so it may not be supported at all [23:06] ikonia, ok. good luck with support [23:06] Sean93: how are you trying to connect [23:07] right i see [23:07] and the webcam ? [23:07] Dazza71: find out if it's supported is the first step [23:07] the network symbol on the desktop toolbar [23:07] ikonia, the network symbol on the desktop toolbar [23:07] i checked the list and its not on there [23:07] Sean93: you can't just "connect" like that, you need to be sharing the data, then connect using an app that's compatible [23:07] Dazza71: it may not be supported then [23:07] How can i start a python script on my ubuntu server via ssh and close the connection while the script keeps running? [23:08] Diverdude, screen [23:08] Diverdude: nohup python python.py & [23:08] ikonia, i don't understand, i use PS3 media server for sharing files, how do i connect? [23:09] ZykoticK9, huh what does that mean? [23:09] ohhh [23:09] Sean93: what has the PS3 got to do with it ? [23:09] just prepend nohup? [23:09] so do all new webcams and printers now support linux [23:09] What part of gnome is responsible for asking me for my ssh key passphrases with a gui dialogue when I type `ssh host`? [23:09] Diverdude, screen is a super handy application - you really should look into it ;) [23:09] Dazza71: no [23:09] ikonia, its a media server for ps3 but also works with xbox [23:09] Dazza71: as I've just said "it may not be supported" [23:10] Sean93: ok - so that's nothing to do with ubuntu [23:10] yes it it, its as much a ubuntu question as it is a networking question [23:10] ZykoticK9, why is it better than nohup? [23:10] Sean93: it's nothing to do with ubuntu === marc is now known as Guest53009 === libeviltux-dev is now known as libeviltux [23:11] ikonia, i must be mistaken, i thought i was running ubuntu, guess not [23:11] Hi, anyone know where to find Mac OS X GDM themes for Ubuntu? [23:11] Diverdude, both are valid. always more then 1 way to do something (especially in linux) -- screen is similar to a windows manager for virtual console sessions (that stay running even when you close the ssh session) [23:11] Sean93: if you are running a PS3 sharing app on ubuntu, and your xbox can't connect, how is that an ubuntu issue ? [23:12] ok one more question i want to be able to install software via wine but it still wont work [23:12] it can connect using wireless [23:12] Guest53009, doesn't macbuntu have them? [23:12] ZykoticK9, like thinlinc and vnc? [23:12] please help me, in Grub screen at boot time, if I choose win7 I keep being redirected to the same grub screen [23:12] im asking how to create a LAN between my xbox360 and ubuntu using a direct ethernet connection === bsod1_ is now known as bsod1 [23:12] Sean93: you can't have wired and wirless on the same network [23:12] Sean93: put wired on a network, rather than direct connection [23:12] thanks i will check that === bsod1 is now known as bsod1_ [23:12] Sean93, are you plugging the network cable directly from xbox to computer (could you possibly need a crossover cable?) === bsod1_ is now known as bsod1 [23:12] cosa faccio rimuovo i pacchetti obsoleti? [23:13] !it | luca [23:13] luca: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:13] Diverdude, not really - think terminal ONLY [23:13] the only option is a direct connection [23:13] Sean93: you could try bridging your eth nic with your wireless nic [23:13] ZykoticK9, it seems nohup comes preinstalled so why not just use that [23:13] Sean93: then you have to make sure your xbox has an IP address on the same network range as you've assigned to the wired network connection, and your using a cross-over cable, and your wirless card on the xbox AND PC is disabled [23:14] anyone around familiar with rutorrent plugins? [23:14] biscazziere: what version of ubuntu? also, pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda (or whatever hdd your partitions reside on) [23:14] Dazza71: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590793 [23:14] Diverdude, do whatever you want man! i was only suggesting you research screen for future knowledge (just a friendly suggestion - sorry man) [23:14] ikonia, so i can't have a wired and wireless connection at the same time? [23:14] Sean93: not on the same network [23:15] ikonia, what do you mean on the same network? [23:15] Sean93: on the same network ip range [23:15] Sean93: do a bridged network, your wireless nic will have an ip, and the wired nic will just be up, much simpler [23:16] i was under the impression that i could connect 2 computers via a direct ethernet connection and share data between those to pcs [23:16] Sean93: you can IF it's on a different network than your wirless connection [23:16] tm: around? [23:16] Sean93: you also need a cross-over cable, not a straight ethernet cable [23:16] Sean93, i think you need a crossover cat5 to directly connect [23:16] yes, crossover cable [23:17] Does anyone know if it's possible to get Ubuntu to wake from suspend automatically when I open my netbook lid? Instead of opening it and then pressing a key, that is. A tiny thing, but an annoying thing that I'd like to sort out [23:17] Sean93, if you have a switch or hub you could connect both regular cables to it - and it should work [23:17] Hello [23:17] Just a question... [23:18] Or a recommendation... Which is the best desktop recorder? [23:18] Akuma, audacity is pretty brilliant [23:18] is it possible to edit the xorg.conf file if i don't actually have linux installed yet? i'm trying to find a fix for my mouse and keyboard dying during the install process [23:18] Akuma: gtk-recordMyDesktop [23:19] audacity is an audio editing program. WillWork4foo Akuma [23:19] willis__: no [23:19] thanks =( [23:19] ZykoticK9, yep it is, but it has a record function as well AFAIK [23:19] Thanks crawler [23:19] WillWork4foo, not desktop video though [23:20] Akuma, or if you need to capture 3d stuff, i had some luck with glc-capture [23:21] ZykoticK9, ah, my bad - I thought desktop recording as in - a recording program one could run on a desktop [23:21] brontoeee, glc-capture isn't in default repo - you installing from PPA or source? [23:21] woops. [23:21] ZykoticK9, hehe come down im just curious :) im definitly gonna check out screen. I just thought you maybe had soe special reason why use like screen so much [23:21] ZykoticK9, i dont remember, hold on..... === KingSeta is now known as Seta [23:21] Hey! Anybody knows an small live Linux WITHOUT Desktop? So just the Basics and maybe some Ruby? [23:22] will running a command like "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults 25" have any effect if i'm booting directly off a cd, with no linux installation yet? [23:22] Seta: that's not an ubuntu issue [23:22] willis__: no [23:22] anyone recommend an easy way to install and use themes for xfce in 10.10 ? [23:22] Interesting brontoeee... [23:22] i know, i dont want to register for the Linux room ^^ [23:22] ZykoticK9, apt-cache search glc [23:22] Seta: then don't ask here please [23:22] brontoeee, no luck with launchpad ppa search either :( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=glc-capture [23:22] or just drop everyting in ~/.themes ? [23:23] hi all! [23:23] ok im sorry [23:23] no problem [23:23] is it possible that my keyboard and mouse lockup would only happen in the gnome environment? [23:23] After upgrading to 11.04, my audio input is broken. any debuging tips? [23:23] or rather, would that make sense? [23:23] brontoeee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/534063/ don't see it :( [23:23] !11.04 [23:23] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is pre-alpha and is not intended for production systems. [23:23] Seta: 11.4 is beta and totally unsupported [23:23] willis__: sure it's possible [23:23] anyone got any ideas on the automatic waking up of my laptop? [23:23] You should upgrade until the damn release becomes stable [23:24] ikonia, pre-alpha, even.... I wasn't even aware there WAS an 11.04 yet [23:24] s/should/shouldn't [23:24] where would I go to ask for support regarding touchpad problems in Maverick? [23:24] WillWork4foo: it's just a toolchain really [23:24] JanHolbo: you're here [23:24] ikonia, ok :-) [23:24] should not [23:24] ikonia, did not know if there was a seprate channel .... [23:24] wait a while to upgrade to the latest and greatest ubuntu [23:25] is there a way to rebuild the gnome-menu from scratch? get it to correctly workout what menu entries are supposed to be there? [23:25] at least until it is long term stable like 10.0.4 === nick is now known as Guest29358 [23:25] !resetpanel | neurochrome [23:25] neurochrome: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:25] could you advise basic video program to edit video - cut the adverts from tv records [23:25] willis__ boot the livecd and edit the boot string = remove quiet and splash then add text... ittl boot to command prompt with no X [23:25] ikonia, Maverick seems to have inversed the "enabled/disabled" state of the touchpad - how do I reverse that? === jz is now known as Guest17736 [23:25] mulambo: Pitivi [23:26] JanHolbo: no idea [23:26] willis__ also the alternate ubuntu install cd may give you joy/...

[23:27] Can someone help me figure out how to start solving? [23:27] ZykoticK9, yeah menu NOT panel [23:27] I think ubuntu moved build essentials to the Ubuntu CDROM which is messed up man [23:27] brontoeee, "apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME" and look at the details [23:27] ikonia, any idea where to turn? [23:27] JanHolbo: no [23:27] neurochrome, which is different then !panels (the menus) [23:28] ZykoticK9, There is a file applications.menu in your home that you can remove, but that didn't do the trick for me [23:28] ubuntu keeps changing so much stuff around it makes it hard to find things nowadays [23:28] Hi, does anyone know about the bug in Ubuntu that overheating CPU? [23:28] neurochrome, there is quite a bit of Gnome voodoo with the menus these days (at one time it was a menu with shortcut - easy) [23:28] !who | willis__ [23:28] willis__: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[23:29] Really, I'd appreciate any help starting to solve my problem. I can't boot into Lucid that has been working just fine. [23:29] Jordan_U, not checked [23:29] Jordan_U, I would have thought so though [23:30] glc is not get deb [23:30] iflema: thanks i'm dl'ing the alternate installer now [23:30] brontoeee, thanks man! i'd given up, i couldn't find much for a native ubuntu install (but i didn't check getdeb! my bad) thanks man i'll give that a shot (i'm not a huge fan of gtk-record-mydesktop) [23:30] Last night I was so tired I accidently ran rm -rf * as /root and I forked up my system had to reinstall it was a mess [23:30] shawnboy: what model graphics card do you have? [23:30] ZykoticK9, glc is only for 3d accelerated stuff [23:31] ATI Radeon HD 4570 but it has been working flawlessly using ATI drivers. didn't change those. [23:31] I learned a big lesson never do system admin work as root when you are tired [23:31] shawnboy: what did you change since it was last working? [23:32] Jordan_U, I'll be back, go to check [23:32] brontoeee, ya - i want 3d capture for sure, but i'm worried that it's application specific, and I won't be able to capture the entire desktop :( But it will be fun to play with, i'll try capture some FPS stuff if it works on 3d apps only) [23:32] Quantum_Ion: Try doing it when you're drunk [23:32] yeats: the latest thing that happened was a small handful of updates via update manager. Off top of my head I remember CUPS, openssl, tz-data, but no kernel updates. [23:32] syn-ack, Same outcome you will fork up your system and have to reinstall [23:33] shawnboy: have you attempted to boot into recovery mode? [23:33] yeats, Grub 2 is fine, old Karmic on same system is fine. [23:33] It took me like 6 hours to put my system back togather [23:33] yeats, yes. [23:33] yeats, I can, but don't know what to try then. [23:33] anyone infos howto synchronize with an exchange server? [23:33] joshy: what mail client ? [23:33] i'm flexible [23:33] what else is there besides record my desktop i don't like it either [23:33] shawnboy: "old Karmic"? Do you mean that you're dual booting? [23:34] willis__ fingers crossed... it is possible some of your hardware is simply not supported... is this a laptop or??? [23:34] ikonia: kmail? [23:34] joshy: won't work [23:34] hiexpo: kazam screencaster [23:34] iflema: it is a 4-5 year old emachines desktop, currently only has winxp installed [23:34] ikonia: thunderbird? [23:34] yeats, yes. Lucid latest kernel, Win 7 (rarely touch), Karmic. [23:34] joshy: won't work [23:34] ikonia: I'm flexible.... [23:34] joshy: evolution only [23:35] IdleOne, kool i'll check it out thanx [23:35] ikonia: i have tryed once, don't work [23:35] I'm having a problem where Chromium crashes shortly after loading, every time. No error messages, no nothing. Just disappears 10.10. Has anybody else reported this problem? [23:35] yeats, I wouldn't think whatever is wrong could be very bad, but don't know what to do to begin rescuing. [23:35] joshy: your exchange server needs to have IMAP running [23:35] basic question: I searched for a file. I found it. I want to open the "containing folder". HOW do I do this? Oops I forgot..10.04 --- Been posting this question on and off for months. lol [23:35] ikonia: some recommended pages? [23:35] How will this help? It's a patch. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alternative-to-200-lines-kernel-patch.html [23:35] ikonia: yeah it has [23:36] joshy: no idea, basically, enable imap support on the exchange server, then the "connec to exchange" setting on evolution works [23:36] ikonia: i thought it runs over the web gui... [23:36] joshy: it does [23:36] joshy: for calendar stuff [23:36] ikonia: also exchange 2007? [23:37] shawnboy: there should be an option to fix the X server from recovery mode - have you tried that? [23:37] joshy: not sure how different versions make a differnce to be honest [23:37] joshy: I've done it with 2003 and 2010 [23:37] ikonia: evolution version? [23:37] yeats, don't remember that option, but I'll boot into recovery mode now and look. I'm on dif machine right next to other one. [23:37] whatever came with ubuntu 8.10, and 10.04 [23:38] I've been trying to chown, but it fails because of a documentation file called 한국어. I try to rm -f it, and it gives no error, but an ls shows the file still there. rm -rf on the directory it resides in fails as well... [23:38] shawnboy: the other thing I might try is booting into an older kernel [23:39] Guys I have a question... [23:39] !ask [23:39] 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. :-) [23:39] tripelb: so, you searched for a file in nautilus, and now want to open it's containing folder? [23:39] ryan_: and if there are womans? [23:39] yeats, only thing I see on recovery menu about X is failsafeX-run in failsafe graphics mode. [23:39] joshy: please don't make that sort of comment [23:39] yeats, try that? [23:39] ikonia: kk [23:39] error wrong architecture i386 error what is this pls [23:40] shawnboy: can't hurt [23:40] hello, i havea usb remote control and the driver on lucid doesnt work, people have written about rolling back to an older driver, how do i do this ?

[23:41] should I put GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="splash vga=791" to make the splash work? [23:41] yeats, I'm logged in with super low-res graphics. logged in, tho, nonetheless. [23:41] Maybe 32 bits software in a multiple core Dazza71... [23:41] Akuma_s: that makes no sense [23:41] MrDudle: I'm in Ubuntu Server with no GUI, and rm isn't working [23:41] hmmm, yeats , I wonder if I should just try to uninstall ATI graphics from prompt, then reinstall. [23:41] How do I make a Linux network... [23:41] ?

I think that I am in something called "nautilus" though there is nothing on the desktop (goes to check) except if I go to "About" (from a "file browser window- what do you call it?") then you see the name Nautilus (this natter is outside of the present issue) -> I now have the situation set up.
