[00:00] why is it that if i'm using wireless and plug in ethernet, the wireless starts ignoring incoming packets? [00:00] Jordan_U: is my computer all gone [00:00] Skapare, I use livecd and chrooted, bug grub-update do not work [00:00] But [00:00] omg its all gone :/ [00:00] Not bug [00:00] u, ok [00:00] xiamx: just look in /boot/grub and see what is there [00:00] i deleted a repeated repo [00:00] intrader_: what video chip are you using? [00:00] i still get the failed to download... message [00:00] ahs4n: No. That guide should get both windows and Ubuntu booting again (but you'll need to do some additional steps to prevent this from happening again). [00:00] ill keep trying though [00:01] Hello! I am trying to troubleshoot bitpim with a Motorola W-315 [00:01] ActionParsnip, where do I find that? [00:01] xiamx: you should see a file named "grub.cfg" ... but maybe there is a backup (don't know what name it would be) [00:01] Skapare, what about my initramfs [00:02] bitpim tells me it sees the /dev/tty/ACM0 port and a USB port that is not active [00:02] Skapare, I guess thats the make cause of kernel panic [00:02] how to install this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 [00:02] to be used on skype [00:02] Neither of the accelerated graphic drivers are activated. That could be the problem. [00:02] DragonKeeper: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should get most things back. You can also look at the dpkg logs to see exactly what was removed. [00:02] anyonere here with experience with bitpim? [00:03] hihihi100: Change the tor repo to use lucid instead of maverick [00:03] xiamx: if the kernel does not get a usable root device to mount, it will panic, yet ... and if grub.cfg gave a bad device name or UUID, that would do it [00:03] xiamx: look for maybe "grub.bak" or something like that being left behind [00:03] intrader_: run: lspci | grep -i vga [00:03] ok Jordan_ [00:03] my system freezes whenever I'm booting normally. When booting in recovery mode and starting failsafeX I can normally use it (albeit lacking graphics-acceleration). So I've configured X to use the vesa-driver, as I thought the ati-drivers gave me problems but it still freezes when booted normally. Any Ideas what to check next? I've been hunting this the whole day now and run out of ideas [00:03] Skapare, ok, I'm in live cd now, I'll try [00:04] thefatloverboy_: seems to use gspca https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [00:04] xiamx: if you see nothing you can manually fix ... and grub.cfg is overly complicated these days ... you might have to try the alternate plan [00:04] what software to use to extract portion of a/v file ? [00:04] thefatloverboy_: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself? [00:04] hey action, curious.. [00:04] that DUC client you told me about [00:04] yes [00:05] matelot: avidemux [00:05] ActionParsnip, the command gives "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84M [Quadro FX 570M] (rev a1)" [00:05] Skapare, is it possible to chroot and grub-update? [00:05] would that do the same thing as me having my router automatically updating my no-ip to the proper IP [00:05] shmup: try using tab to complete nics [00:05] !info noip2 | shmup [00:05] but not in skype [00:05] ActionParsnip, yeah, I was being lazy. :/ [00:05] shmup: noip2 (source: no-ip): client for dynamic DNS service. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.9-3 (maverick), package size 83 kB, installed size 260 kB [00:05] ActionParsnip: IS IT gui APP ? [00:05] shmup: its an extra single key,..... [00:05] Yeah, sorry. [00:05] matelot: yes [00:06] xiamx: that's possible, certainly ... worth a try AFTER checking for a backup of grub.cfg [00:06] xiamx: if you find a backup of grub.cfg ... copy or rename it to something else if you still want to try grub-update first [00:06] ActionParsnip, I must restart [00:07] matelot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1119599 at command line too :) [00:07] <__Steven__> hi there. urgent question: being an idiot i did: chown moya:www-data / -R now i cannot access my server through plesk. what is the original chown for / [00:08] __Steven__: there is no single chown, its a large variety [00:08] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:08] __Steven__: depends on the file ... many have different [00:08] <__Steven__> i did it in root [00:08] Will someone do me a favor paste bin ur grub.cfg? [00:09] __Steven__: yup ... and you busted it, too [00:09] __Steven__, but you've chosen / with the -R option which means you've changed the ownership of all files on the system [00:09] <__Steven__> and now? ^^ [00:09] xiamx: don't copy their UUID numbers ... YOURs are different [00:09] xiamx: sure, http://pastebin.com/ZfMmFjCr [00:09] xiamx: why? its different for everyone cos of uuids and hdd identifiers copying is useless use the examples [00:09] __Steven__: If you re-install every package it will probably restore *most* of the permissions. But it could also have other side effects. [00:10] xiamx: the file is generated by grub, I suggest you boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and fix [00:10] I just need to compared some parameters [00:10] <__Steven__> well for such cases i would have backups. how can i play a backup when i cannot access plesk? [00:10] ActionParsnip, I am back, but found a driver not active, but restart again [00:10] unitedpotsmokers: can you please join #ubuntu-ops so we can fix this issue of ban evading [00:10] xiamx: I'm uploading one of mine [00:11] xiamx: http://phil.ipal.org/for-xiamx-grub.cfg [00:12] This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates. [00:12] Thank you very much [00:12] ActionParsnip, appears that the 'Additional Drivers' have conflicting drivers . Two of them are fighting. [00:12] xiamx: this one is for 32-bit ubuntu 10.10 [00:13] intrader_: then remove both drivers and reboot, then install one [00:14] ActionParsnip, on the other machine. I will remove them if I new how, and install? the Additional Drivers gives me two drivers [00:15] Hi everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (because of WiFi problems with 10.10) and my "Hardware Drivers" tool reports that "no proprietary drivers are in use by this system" and the list is empty. How do I add drivers to it? Everywhere I've read about how to use proprietary drivers said that I should use that tool, find the driver I want and just press activate. Thanks! [00:16] Jordan_U: nope mot working [00:16] Still not getting any chance.. My root= is right, but kernel can't find init === bcnice20|Chillin is now known as bcnice20 [00:16] afeter i press repair it again shows up grub rescue [00:16] xiamx: is init there? === bruno is now known as Guest50374 [00:16] igor_: then run: sudo lshw -C network and websearch for the product line to find guides [00:17] Init should be in / right? [00:17] xiamx: is init there? ... /sbin/init [00:17] ActionParsnip, the 'Additional Drivers' applet lists two, the first (version 173) says that there is another driver in use, the second one is active [00:17] ActionParsnip: will try that in a sec [00:17] xiamx: what do you have for the root= ?? [00:17] My uuid [00:17] I checked, its the correct one [00:18] how can install this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 [00:18] intrader: then deactivate the driver you have now [00:18] And I tried to change to /dev/sda2 too which is the equivalent [00:18] hi there [00:18] xiamx: is that uuid in /etc/mtab ? [00:18] Jordan_U: will this work http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/ [00:18] IdleOne: unban the above while you're opped please [00:18] hola disculpen [00:18] Init is there [00:19] alguien sabe como borrar el open jdk [00:19] i'm trying to tune dvb-t channels with totem, and the app gots frozen. However I managed to build the config file that should work, but I do not have any idea where this should be stored [00:19] any idea? [00:19] ActionParsnip, much better synch - see not difference with Windows Vista. Hurrah! . Thanks, that did the trick. [00:19] LjL: done [00:19] ActionParsnip: actually i need nvidia drivers, I know how to install them but they still aren't listed in hardware drivers. and shouldnt it be as easy as pressing activate in hardware drivers? [00:19] ahs4n: What do you mean "after i press repair"? It should not be a button you press but a command you run, specifically "fixmbr". [00:20] intrader: np bro, the extra files make flash a little nicer, the driver just clinched it nicely [00:20] Mtab is empty I don't know why [00:20] And it seems to be modified very very recently [00:20] I'm running Maverick, and I'm trying to get Tor working with Firefox. Everything I've read says install tor, vidalia, and either privoxy or polipo. Privoxy connects to tor, and the network, but I can't get Firefox to go through tor. Any ideas? [00:20] Jordan_U: after i press R for repair it again starts to boot [00:20] by showing rescue [00:21] igor_: possibly, depends on the chip [00:21] xiamx: empty? ... oh, my bad ... check for UUID in /etc/fstab ... BUT ... an empty mtab is a bad sign [00:21] Jordan_U a few things came back but theres alot missing and alot folders deleted that make the recovered apps start [00:21] ActionParsnip: i expected at least something to be displayed under "hardware drivers" but the list is empty...it baffles me :\ [00:21] after upgrading a personal machine to ubuntu 10.04, networking seems to go idle after about 4 hours, and I have to press a key on the console for the server to be reachable from the outside world... any ideas? [00:21] ahs4n: So you chose "Repair a Windows XP Installation" and it immediately rebooted? [00:22] xiamx: do this back outside of the chroot ... df /path/where/mounted [00:22] Skapare, what is the format of mtab, could u paste bin it? Maybe I can try to recover it manually [00:22] xiamx: you might have a full disk ... that can break things if disk space fills up during a grub update [00:22] Jordan_U, yep [00:22] How do I prevent OpenOffice Calc from converting my 12-hour times to 24-hour times? I set the language to UK English, but it's still converting to 12-hour. [00:22] igor_: if you have a super whizzy nvidia chip then the 260 chip helps [00:22] Fstab is good [00:22] 260 driver [00:22] Disk isn't full [00:23] ahs4n: That's not what is supposed to happen, it's supposed to bring you to a shell. Is there any error message? [00:23] xiamx: make sure the UUID for root= in grub.cfg matches the UUID for the root in fstab ... and then check that the real filesystem has that UUID === Guest55683 is now known as JosephUbuntu [00:23] Jordan_U: no [00:23] ActionParsnip: how do i install it if its not listed in hardware drivers? with synaptic? [00:24] How do I prevent OpenOffice Calc from converting my 12-hour times to 24-hour times? I set the language to UK English, but it's still converting to 12-hour. [00:24] Skapare they match [00:24] 新手 [00:24] igor_: sure, but what video chip are you using? [00:24] !cn | zero_ [00:24] zero_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:24] ActionParsnip: its an old integrated card [00:24] ahs4n: Does it appear to be intentionally shutting down or does it seem more like a crash? [00:24] is it possible to mount a solaris partition on ubuntu 10.04? [00:24] xiamx: look closer during boot for any message from grub or kernel BEFORE that panic ... maybe saying what problem it has first [00:25] /dev/sda2 16707600 37190474 10241437+ bf Solaris [00:25] igor_: ok what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [00:25] Can anyone answer my previous question? [00:25] Jordan_U: crash i guess [00:25] JosephUbuntu: might try asking in #openoffice.org [00:25] Skapare, is there any option to make grub or kernel be more verbose? [00:25] JosephUbuntu: I would think its an OO setting. not relaetd to the language setting. [00:25] IdleOne: thanks [00:25] [Own message] [00:25] ahs4n: OK, then your XP recovery CD is broken. [00:25] I already tried the languages in OO [00:26] Lhola [00:26] since 24 is used in the UK, i thought it would work [00:26] JosephUbuntu: it may be more of a cell format setting. Not a language setting. [00:26] Oh btw, can anyone post bin their /etc/mtab? [00:26] some expert with totem? [00:26] xiamx: boot the recovery mode should disable the splash [00:26] 24hr format is uses all over the world.. :) military time. [00:26] what is better ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 [00:26] yeah, it rocks [00:26] DragonKeeper: depends on your needs. [00:26] ahs4n: If you run "ls (hd0,1)/" in the grub rescue shell does it print a list of files? [00:27] xiamx: http://phil.ipal.org/for-xiamx-etc-mtab [00:27] ActionParsnip: wow I sure am an idiot. Its an intel card :P [00:27] Dr_Willis whats difference ? [00:27] I suspect that my mtab I'd not correct.. It's empty ,and it was modified just before First noticing kernelpaic [00:27] DragonKeeper: both are great, 10.04 is supported longer [00:27] igor_: thats why then [00:27] JosephUbuntu: I think OO uses system time settings, I would think that is adjustable in the OO settings though [00:27] xiamx: beware mine may not be what you need [00:27] is it possible to software raid-1 the "biosgrub" partition? Trying to setup raid-1 while installing a fresh copy of ubuntu server, but I can't get it to work. If i use a 1mb sized partition for biosgrub, it doesn't work because raid uses extra space.... if I size that partition larger, it works up until the bootloader installation where grub fails to install. Also, once I set up my raid-1 [00:27] in the installer, it wont actualy let me choose to specify that raid array as a "reserved bios boot area"... am i missing something, or is it just impossible to software-raid the boot partition? [00:28] xiamx: I have a separate /boot / swap /home as parts 1 2 3 4 [00:28] I just need the format XD [00:28] ok [00:28] ActionParsnip: indeed that explains it. I somehow recalled installing nvidia drives when i installed windows...eh must have been on another PC. thanks for the assistance! [00:28] DragonKeeper: theres dozens of ubuntu 'news' type sites that detail the changes. If you need LTS go with the older release.. if not try 10.10 [00:28] php code under Ubuntu (no other server I've seen) gives no error with missing semicolons.. just stops with no error or warning or anything... [00:28] !notes > DragonKeeper [00:28] DragonKeeper, please see my private message [00:29] This php bug under Ubuntu has existed for a long time now.. [00:29] DragonKeeper: I've had WiFi instability issues with 10.10 [00:29] no mdadm guys lurking about? [00:29] Jordan_U: getting error: no such partition [00:30] ahs4n: What is the output of "ls"? [00:30] ok ty igor_ i use cable [00:30] how can i isntall this web cam Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100 [00:30] Jordan_U: error: no such partition [00:30] mother of God.. there's a tutorial on how to file an ubuntu bug..... [00:30] the output [00:31] thefatloverboy_: did cheese work? [00:31] thefatloverboy_: plug it in.. install 'cheese' - run cheese.. see if it works. [00:31] The last error I noticed was fai [00:31] Failed to excite /init [00:31] yes it works [00:31] Execute [00:31] ahs4n: From just "ls" with no other arguments? [00:31] thefatloverboy_: so it works.. :) [00:31] no one is responding on #openoffice.org [00:31] but i want it in skype [00:31] Sorry its hard to type on a iPod.. [00:31] hm, I apparently broke the Jetty apt package sufficiently that it won't either remove, purge or install... I'm pondering how to fix it [00:32] JosephUbuntu: patience :) [00:32] !skype [00:32] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [00:32] it ś be to used in skype [00:32] still, how do i fix the issue? [00:32] Jordan_U: (hd0) [00:32] thefatloverboy_: if you read the link I gave it tells you how to make it fly in skype [00:32] not just in cheese [00:32] no [00:32] Why is kernel looking for /init, isn't it /sbin/init? [00:32] looks like /etc/init.d/jetty won't start because it can't find start.jar... I wonder if I just grab another deb file and crack it, steal the start.jar it'll work well enough to purge [00:32] JosephUbuntu: i would check the OO.org docs/help - it may mention how to do it. oo.org may have specific forums also. [00:33] sup [00:33] i'll try it again, then [00:33] ... I'll try to chroot and soft link /sbin/init to / expecting it will work.. [00:34] hi [00:34] This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates. [00:34] back to irc, i cannot believe [00:34] is there a way for when my machine boots that it auto logins 2 accounts at the same time [00:34] xiamx: why would it? kernel looks for init in /sbin/init first [00:34] so I've created a thread in the forums regarding my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10141910#post10141910 [00:34] thefatloverboy_: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=926101 will help up to gspca [00:34] Skapare, I don't know, I only see kernel looking for it in / [00:34] ahs4n: Ok, then you probably won't be able to boot from the grub rescue shell (at least not without a lot of work). [00:35] wow, although apparently start.jar is totally not in the jetty distro [00:35] Can you software raid-1 your "reserved bios boot area"/"biosgrub" partition, or must that not be raided? [00:35] * Kog|Work sighs [00:35] ahs4n: Do you have any other bootable media or another computer you can stick the hard drive in to repair it? [00:35] OMG! it IS a cell format issue! [00:35] thanks a bunch! [00:35] if you go to format>cells, you can fix it [00:35] [00:35] xiamx: /init might be the last place it looks ... there are 4 places hard coded in kernel source [00:36] I believe they are /sbin/init /bin/init /etc/init /init [00:36] try all 4 perhaps [00:36] what a piece of junk [00:37] Jordan_U: mine is 10.04 but i have 8.10 live cd [00:37] nacitar: That must be a normal partition, though it should contain the same contents on both drives. [00:37] Hei boys se vi dessi le specifiche del mio pc mi sapreste dire perchè non riesco a far partire tutti i jack audio su linux ? [00:37] ahs4n: An 8.10 partition will do. [00:37] i need some srs help [00:38] i tried updating from 8.04 [00:38] you and everyone else... [00:38] Skapare, it only does /init on an initrd [00:38] to the latest [00:38] Jordan_U: can you leverage mdadm to keep the two in sync? Or do those partitions never really change... such that copying it over once is sufficient? [00:38] http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Reading_the_Linux_Kernel_Sources [00:38] and my install broke [00:38] Gerycho: #ubuntu-it [00:38] We can see here that the kernel attempts to start /sbin/init, /etc/init, /bin/init and finally falls back to trying /bin/sh. If we read backwards a little bit we see where the kernel tries to execute whatever program was based via the init= kernel argument by the boot loader (and we can follow the hyperlinks to find where the command line was parsed for such an option). Going back a little furtherj we can see where the kernel tries to start the /i [00:38] Why do all Linux window managers feel so cartoon-y!? I'm picking a distro to go back to after a year or so of being forced to use Windows for various reasons and everything looks so ugly. Discuss. [00:38] ThomS_, which ones have you tried? [00:38] Ah.... I hate that tutorial... Can I reinstall my system? I have /home /usr /var / on diff partitions [00:38] !ot | ThomS_ [00:38] ThomS_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:39] er yeah and -offtopic [00:39] sudo apt-get install gspca-dkms No se pudo encontrar el paquete gspca-dkms [00:39] Or.. Perhaps, what does update-initramfs actually do? [00:40] doest work [00:40] xiamx: updates the initramfs image? [00:40] thefatloverboy_: did you run: sudo apt-get update first? [00:40] nacitar: Those partitions should only change when grub-install is run, and if the grub-pc package configuration is setup properly it should install to both drives (you can check with "debconf-show grub-pc", look at the "install_devices" value). [00:40] Where's the initramfs image? [00:40] well let see [00:40] hi all, using Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32, am trying to get mutt configured but having issues with /var/mail/, it *seems* to work but is exceptionally slow, is Postifx the issue or is it perhaps the system mail spool? [00:40] Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now [00:41] after booting fron cd [00:41] xiamx: either built inside the kernel or where parameter tells it (via grub) [00:41] 8.10 [00:41] thefatloverboy_: try this command: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype may just work [00:41] Jordan_U: ah, so grub's settings aren't stored there? if so then that'll be easy to sync once. I assumed grub stored its settings there and thus kernel updates would break the whole mirrored idea [00:41] Is that the initrd line of grub? [00:42] maybe /initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic ... note that initramfs and initrd are just a difference in format ... kernel supports either [00:42] ho ok Thanks you, siete geniali ecco dove ho sbagliato maledetto pacard bell [00:42] nacitar: No, grub's settings are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and read from the filesystem at every boot. It's lilo that stores its configuration with blocklists. [00:42] by night [00:42] Jordan_U: ah okay, that explains it... I've been wasting so much time trying to fight the ubuntu isntaller to let me do the impossible. thanks a bunch man. [00:42] Ahahahaha [00:42] nacitar: You're welcome. [00:42] Remove initrd line on grub works [00:43] initrd is a ramdisk sector image, formatted with a filesystem such as ext2, compressed ... initramfs is a compressed cpio package [00:43] Though I have no idea why... [00:43] is OK, worked now, yesterday there was a 17 hour lag, now is within 3 secs to a gmail addy ... weird [00:43] xiamx: try rebuilding your initrd because stuff will be missing w/o it [00:44] nacitar: so now you know how to do the impossible? [00:44] alright, this channel is dead... wonder if codehaus has anything useful [00:45] Jordan_U: ok i am in the options now [00:45] thefatloverboy_: any better? [00:45] <^Mike> Hello, I've created a samba share on one computer - how can I access it from another ubuntu machine? [00:45] xiamx: the initrd may be defective ... note that IT will be the root filesystem if no other mounted first by /linuxrc script, and it will look for /sbin/init in initrd and not find it [00:45] not [00:46] thefatloverboy_: even with the ldconfig bit? [00:46] Skapare, ok thats easier, at least I have a working system [00:46] it allready exist [00:46] tell ś that [00:46] ahs4n: Select "Try Ubuntu..." (or a similar option if that's not exactly how it begins).

[01:44] mdg2 not semi-colon... not mdg2;mdg2, mdg2:mdg2 [01:44] connermcd: I mistyped [01:44] mdg2 yes it makes you the owner of the file [01:45] connermcd: can I make them so anyone can access them? [01:45] i dont know what to do anymore [01:45] mdg2 yes, if you want to make a file completely available to anyone it's sudo chmod 777 [01:45] mdg2 however, that's generally a bad idea unless it really is a file you want anyone to have access to [01:46] connermcd: they are just ringtones [01:46] connermcd: would that be a bad thing? [01:47] mdg2 no, it's fine... just don't run around using that command on anything :-) [01:47] I just installed a ATI driver and ubuntu wil not load now [01:47] connermcd: defintely not, just trying to transfer them to new phone [01:48] ahs4n: Do you know how to mount your partitions and access files from within Ubuntu?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:50] thanks :) [01:51] Iĺl check those sites [01:51] Jordan_U: there are 3 filesystems in 320 gb harddisk [01:51] ahs4n: One of them should have a directory named "ubuntu" in it. [01:54] this is why I like debian [01:54] bern09 [01:54] ahs4n: Whatever partition has the "ubuntu" directory in it is the one wubi is installed to.

[01:56] can anyone let me know which one will be the command to find out what wireless chipset card do I have on my laptop? [01:56] dmhallahan your in my area [01:56] michael_: Unfortunatly as far as I can tell loop booting is broken for the server edition isos. [01:56] KeyBoardx86, lspci -nnk [01:56] nnk? [01:57] thx psycho_oreos let me check [01:57] so does anyone know or is there a way i can contact someone else? [01:57] Jordan_U: it is in the home directory of that partiton? [01:57] Jordan_U, i thought i had gotten it to work before, but now i am unable to find the menuentries i used [01:57] KeyBoardx86, makes lspci output both numeric forms and resolved ID along with any loaded kernel modules along with available kernel modules [01:57] michael_: You can get to the installer but it won't find its files and will instead need to download everything from the internet. [01:57] Jordan_U, alright, thanks [01:58] ahs4n: No. [01:58] Jordan_U: the other parttions are given sizes but this is only filesystem with no sizes [01:58] ahs4n: The one labeled "Filesystem" is not what you're interested in at the moment. [01:59] okay, one more question... how do I play the *.mid files on my computer? [01:59] Does anyone know how to uncheck the box that says "manage windows without launcher" in docky? Without having to have two docks open? [02:00] anyone got any idea how I set the equivilant of Windows envrionment variables in Ubuntu? [02:01] http://pastebin.com/0wZCyN9f [02:01] Monotoko, set [02:01] psycho_oreos, ...some things are just so simple >< [02:01] Monotoko, err you make the variable and then you use export [02:01] hahaha, I thought you meant a command called set [02:01] Jordan_U is it named filesystem [02:02] Jordan_U i found it [02:02] psycho_oreos, does Linux have a path variable? [02:02] Monotoko, well yeah that just prints environment variables rather than setting them [02:02] Monotoko, yes $PATH [02:03] Jordan_U: does it have lib, media, home, lost+found directories? [02:03] psycho_oreos, can I add to it? [02:03] ahs4n: No. [02:03] Monotoko, yes, you might want to have a read at BASH programming and BASH HOWTO [02:03] psycho_oreos, thank you...I know a bit of bash scripting but not that much [02:04] I a writing a script and want to echo a year that the user enters as 4 digits back as a 2 digit year and can't figure how to pad the leading zero. Any suggestions? [02:04] Monotoko, indeed I can see :) everyone had to start from somewhere [02:04] It's a bash script by the way [02:04] Jordan_U: then there is a root ubuntu directory top-level which has desktop, documents, pictures, videos? === zero is now known as Guest44165 [02:06] DK, maybe use something like awk or sed [02:06] whats a good BT # it would be appreciated ? [02:07] ahs4n: Can you open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal), run "sudo blkid", then use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give a link to the output? [02:08] psycho_oreos: Great name btw. It is for a class and we haven't gone over awk or sed yet so I don't really know their syntax yet. Is there a way to do it with echo but just easier with awk and sed or is it not really possible to pad in that way? [02:08] does anybody know why my system is cooked [02:08] i did that part -l thing [02:09] rofflecoptor1: Your partition table is invalid (contains overlapping partitions). [02:10] what does that mean [02:10] DK, heh thanks... not sure, but if the script is calling upon external command you could probably enclose the external command in quotes followed by making echo printing leading zeroes [02:10] rofflecoptor1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? [02:10] rofflecoptor1: Do you know what a partition is? === AndrewMC is now known as SpockVulcan === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [02:10] Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/BEynuXti [02:11] how do I get into my Kernel configuration? [02:13] ahs4n: Ok. Run "sudo mkdir -p /tmp/mountpoints/sda{1,5,6,7}" [02:13] psycho_oreos: It's actually a 4 digit year that is passed in and referenced with $3. Now that you mention it though I bet I could just add an if statement to check if it is in the 2000-2010 range and then just echo 0${year}. [02:14] ahs4n: It should complete without any output (just bringing you back to a prompt). [02:14] how do I get into my Kernel configuration? [02:14] DK, probably heh, I am not sure exactly how you want it to work :) [02:14] iRabbit: runtime configuration or compile-time ? [02:15] rofflecoptor: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? Do you know what a partition is? [02:15] Chek [02:15] ilovefairuz, thank you [02:15] Jordan_U: yep [02:15] what package contain pastebin? [02:16] iRabbit: for what? but you're welcome, anyhow! [02:16] ubottu: pastebin | WilliamHerry [02:16] WilliamHerry: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [02:16] WilliamHerry: pastebinit [02:16] http://pastebin.com/fxuAE7Lr [02:17] psycho_oreos: I appreciate the help. I'll give it a try. Might look up awk and sed in the text just to see how difficult it is to do it first. Thanks again. :) [02:17] ilovefairuz, what is the CLI command for it? [02:17] thanks, [02:17] Anyone know a solution for my centrino advanced n 6250 card [02:17] iRabbit: you didn't answer my question, what are you trying to accomplish ? [02:17] ahs4n: Good. Now run "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mountpoints/sda1/ && sudo mount /dev/sda5 /tmp/mountpoints/sda5/ && sudo mount /dev/sda6 /tmp/mountpoints/sda6/ && sudo mount /dev/sda7 /tmp/mountpoints/sda7/" [02:17] DK, no worries, if you're caught again I suggest something like BASH HOWTO for starters before asking in their support channel [02:18] DK, a really great book is Classic Shell Scripting [02:18] if you want to learn shell scripting [02:18] me? [02:18] or ahs4n [02:18] ilovefairuz, need some info for ATI support [02:18] Jordan_U: && means in the same command? [02:18] also the seperate O'Reilly books on sed and awk I'm sure are great [02:19] iRabbit: you wouldn't find that in the kernel configuration, you probably need to check the loaded driver, try: sudo lshw -C display [02:19] gotta go guys, lunchtime - thanks for the tip on askubuntu.com - it looks like a decent resource of info. [02:20] ahs4n: Yes. If you copy exactly what I posted into a terminal on a single line it will run all of those mount commands, one after the other. You can also enter each command individually if you prefer. [02:20] Do I need an antivirus or internet security software? [02:20] Hi, all. How to know BIOS supported LBA hard disk? How to know hard disk is LBA mode? I'm using Ubuntu Linux, any commands to do that? [02:20] !virus | hakimsheriff [02:20] hakimsheriff: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [02:20] ilovefairuz, that's misleading [02:20] something like rkhunter is a good thing to havre [02:20] *have [02:20] okay thanks [02:20] Where does Chrome store its userdata? [02:21] especially if you have a server box [02:21] I have been looking for .chrome or something [02:21] Which is the best antivirus? [02:21] I dont mind paying for it [02:22] have you try dpkg -L chrome's package name [02:22] hakimsheriff, the best things in life are free, so clam AV [02:22] !virus | hakimsheriff [02:22] hakimsheriff: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [02:22] Nisstyre65: a rootkit needs a vulnerability to exploit, on a fully updated/patched system, the chances are minimal (only zero day exploits that get fixed right away ) [02:22] ilovefairuz, that didn't show the information I needed :( [02:22] albech: ~/.config/google-chrome [02:22] ilovefairuz, that's not necessarily true either [02:22] iRabbit: what kind of information do you need? [02:22] if someone got access to a user account (let's say the apache user account) then they could look for vulnerabilities in any program [02:23] @ubottu I saw the message the first time. I was just asking which one is the best [02:23] Hi all, I just rebooted and ubuntu is no longer displaying the wireless icon in the panel. I'm running a dual boot and everything works fine in windows... any thoughts? Never had a problem like this in ubuntu before [02:23] Nisstyre65: and how would they gain access to a user account without an exploit? [02:23] ilovefairuz, I was told I needed to copy an paste some information in the kernel configuration. no clue what exactly [02:23] ilovefairuz, crappy web app coding, for example a php exploit [02:23] those tend to NOT get fixed quickly [02:24] ilovefairuz, just need the CLI to view the whole thing? [02:24] But I do agree an antivirus program (in the windows sense) isn't something you need [02:24] Hello everybody ! [02:24] Nisstyre65: that's something entirely different than typical windows-style self-propagating viruses [02:24] ilovefairuz, agreed [02:24] iRabbit: well, where have you been told this? [02:25] ilovefairuz, friend [02:25] iRabbit: in details? [02:26] ilovefairuz, friend trying to troubleshoot an issue [02:26] Jordan_ [02:26] I need a 2MP webcam compatible with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Could someone suggest one to me? [02:26] Jordan_U: ya [02:26] ilovefairuz, just following what he's telling me to do [02:26] iRabbit: yes, what are the details of that particular issue? and what he did suggest that you would find and copy? [02:27] ahs4n: Ok. Now run "find /tmp/mountpoints/ -maxdepth 2" and pastebin the output. [02:27] ilovefairuz, Ugh, I'm not typing that all out.... I just need the CLI to view my kernel configuration please :) [02:27] albech, usr/lib [02:28] iRabbit: what do you expect to find? illustrate with an example [02:28] ilovefairuz, I asked him how... he didn't know and suggested the "basement virgins in an Ubuntu room on IRC would know" === m3de_ is now known as {m3de} [02:29] iRabbit: how very thoughtful of him, please keep the conversation on topic [02:29] ilovefairuz, I need to know if the card is configured a certain way and has support for some kind of rendering? [02:30] NelsonPR: does 1,3 mp and 1280x1024 fir? [02:30] fit [02:30] iRabbit: then you need to a) find what driver is your card using and b) check the driver status web page to see if it supports that feature [02:30] hi, i am looking for an alternative to okular. i miss many of its handy functions (select area and save it as text/image) on other pdf-viewers. can some1 recommend me a pdf-viewer that as similar tools but is not bound to all the qt-libs? [02:31] ilovefairuz, "we still need to know what the kernel says" [02:31] Benkinooby, you can try acroread [02:31] ilovefairuz, is access to the kernel top secret or something? [02:31] Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Q9RQv1Bh [02:31] WilliamHerry, the one from Adobe?! [02:31] irabbit, thats quite vague. what do you expect the kernel to say? [02:31] acroread = adobe reader? [02:31] iRabbit: it's not, but you're asking the wrong question, so don't expect to get an appropriate answer [02:31] Benkinooby, yes, [02:32] sorak, I personally dont know... but "he [02:32] will know it when he sees it [02:32] just installed adobe. [02:32] the kernel loads a module that is responsible for interacting with the hardware. it does not do so itself. that module is what you need to investigate [02:32] So, I'm trying to find some good articles on allowing multiple user access to my desktop installation of Ubuntu 10.10. I've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX and http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_10.x_Desktop, but I wanted to consult the community. [02:32] ilovefairuz, Could you please tell me the CLI to view the kernel configuration? [02:32] Has anyone done this, and if so, what direction did you follow? Did you use FreeNX or vncserver to create multiple desktops? [02:33] I'm looking to perform this over SSH for security. [02:33] ilovefairuz, question asked [02:33] The wireless icon has disappeared from my panel and now I have no connection... all I did was reboot... qany ideas? [02:33] spivwaq, open up a terminal and type 'nm-applet &' [02:33] Benkinooby, it shows the text much better than envice [02:33] WilliamHerry, oO i thing adobe will be my last option [02:34] iRabbit: the "(non)kernel configuration" of your ATI card can be viewed using sudo lshw -C display [02:34] Benkinooby, what happned with okular? [02:34] actually, spivwaq first type sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager start OR whatever that command is for ubuntu (can't remember) [02:34] Benkinooby, it is too big [02:34] im scared [02:34] i dont know what do anymore [02:34] Hi, all. How to know BIOS supported LBA hard disk? How to know hard disk is LBA mode? Any commands to do that? [02:34] iRabbit: the kernel itself is barely concerned with the specifics of what the driver does or doesn't support [02:35] alg3r, WilliamHerry yes. okular is too big. but to me it is the best pdf viewer when i comes to functionality [02:35] ilovefairuz, ugh.... all I need is the CLI to view the kernel configuration. If thats not the information I need then let us find out the hardway :) [02:36] so, it means okular still being supported? I can get it from sources? [02:36] Benkinooby, so, i should try all of them and find out which is the best, good luck [02:36] alg3r, for sure. it's in the repository [02:36] Nisstyre65, I don't know what the ubuntu cmd is [02:36] you [02:36] spivwaq, hold on a sec [02:36] cool. I'll give it a try. but dude, u still have to keep looking :P [02:37] WilliamHerry, ? never said that. i was just asking if some1 has a good alternative at hand [02:37] WilliamHerry, never asked you to do my work. [02:37] spivwaq, type this exactly and hit enter "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager start ; nm-applet &" [02:37] iRabbit: ok there you go, the kernel is configured at runtime through the "/proc" and/or "/sys" pseudo filesystems, some configuration values may be passed as parameters to the kernel line in grub configuration files [02:37] Benkinooby, my misspell [02:38] spivwaq, if it doesn't work then paste the output and put it on ubuntu.paste.com and link it here === tony_mah1on is now known as tony_mahoon [02:38] er sorry I meant paste.ubuntu.com === alg3r is now known as iBeer7 [02:38] or whatever it is :P pastie.org works for me [02:39] sysfs [02:39] WilliamHerry, ah, ok. np... so, happy go aptitude :/ [02:41] Thank you I'm going to try nessty [02:42] Nissty* [02:42] !puregnome [02:42] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [02:42] ahs4n: Ok. Run this command: echo "This file is here only as a work around for https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/610898" > /tmp/mountpoints/sda7/wubildr [02:44] I'm using sbackup as a backup program but when I try to select Destination>Use a Remote Site, I cannot change/type anything into the text box. Not sure why [02:45] What is the best antivirus software? (people told me Clam AV but it doesnt remove threats) [02:45] Even if I have to pay [02:45] hakimsheriff, avast on wine === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC [02:46] does an antivirus from windows work on wine? [02:46] I have norton could I use that? [02:46] hakimsheriff: Are you trying to remove windows viruses? [02:46] lol,, yea of course.. [02:46] dont know about norton tho [02:46] Jordan_U: yup [02:47] no just trying to protect my computer since I have both windows 7 and ubuntu [02:47] hakimsheriff: AVG has a linux version. [02:47] hakimsheriff, you don't need antivirus in vista or 7 [02:47] hakimsheriff, u wont need anti-virus on linux [02:47] hakimsheriff, are you trying to scan your windows partition from linux? [02:47] st__, sure u would [02:47] st__: I dont understand [02:48] No just trying to protect my computer [02:48] psycho_oreos and Nisstyre65 thanks for the book suggestions. Sorry for the delay, I had to step away to cook. I'll check them out. [02:48] hakimsheriff, if you're REALLY paranoid you can install a firewall for linux and an IDS like snort [02:48] hakimsheriff, antiviruses was needed for win2000, in lesser extent for XP; antiviruses for Vista are generally scereware [02:49] ahs4n: Ok, final test to check that everything is as it should be. Run "if sudo /usr/share/lupin-support/grub-mkimage --test; then echo All clear; else echo Failure; fi" [02:50] Can I ask a question about the OpenOffice.org in Ubuntu here? === Shy is now known as Branden [02:50] hakimsheriff, only software not from repositories and not from good linux based sites can be dodgey,, even then some1 would have alot of work to do when making a virus [02:50] Forgive me if I didn't follow the typical question asking format. I'm new. :) Is there a method for submiting questions? [02:50] Kyjan: type them in the box and press enter :) [02:50] Kyjan, yes, put a question mark at the end ;) [02:51] Gulfstream: go for it. [02:51] LOL! :$ === Quantum_Ion is now known as Waldo_X [02:51] Is FreeNX the recommended way to support multiple users connecting via SSH (RDP tunneled through SSH), or should I use vncserver and multiple desktops? === ed__ is now known as tigras [02:52] How do I create a graph in OpenOffice.org? I want it to be able to have the X and Y axis and be able to mark points with a dot [02:52] hakimsheriff, virosprotection on a dualboot system is a bit of a "belief" thing. i, for instance, use avira on my seldomly used win xp. on ubuntu i run nothing like that at all [02:53] Gulfstream: use openoffice calc http://www.openofficetips.com/category/charting/ [02:53] Jordan_U: All clear [02:53] ahs4n: Then you're done :) [02:53] is Calc compatible with a Microsoft Office program like Word? === spivwak is now known as spivwaq [02:54] Gulfstream: don't you mean with Excel ? [02:54] i'm installing lamp-server, using taskel on ubuntu 10.04 lts. and it's been stuck on 91% for ever. [02:55] I need it to be ain a Word .doc file. [02:55] I know it is not neccesary but i am paranoid. Which is the best antivirus? [02:55] hello everyone [02:55] Gulfstream: yeah you can copy/paste from calc into writer, then save as a .doc [02:55] hakimsheriff: Are you worried about getting infected on your ubuntu machine? [02:55] yes and I have windows on the sme computer [02:56] Jordan_U: if i have to cd to any filesystem now so what i give cd /media/"what name here" ? [02:56] Gulfstream, yeah, document format compatable [02:56] hakimsheriff: they are almost no gnu/linux "viruses" and that's why you don't need an antivirus on ubuntu [02:56] hakinsheriff: I use AVG. I haven't seen a problem since I started using AVG [02:56] Gulfstream, but if you start a new doc you need to remember to save as the .docx/xlsx or whatever format [02:56] hakimsheriff: If you really want it, I'd say look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [02:57] is base64 decode broken in maverick openssl? [02:57] can't get it to work [02:58] Jordan_U: ......or some other command? [02:58] Gulfstream: you can save a OOo word document in .doc and .odt .. you don't need to cut and paste into MS Word [02:58] !broadcom [02:58] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:58] hakimsheriff: It isn't really needed in ubuntu or linux in general. Your windows machine won't get infected by viruses from Ubuntu. [02:58] okay thanks to everyone that helped. I will still saty on the channel if anyone has other suggestions [02:58] anybody can help me? [02:58] !ask | xttaetg [02:58] xttaetg: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:59] hello, good morning all [02:59] Is there a way to get the X and Y with 4 quadrants?

[03:00] yeah === Waldo_X is now known as Free_Java_Now [03:01] Yes I am trying to plot a math formula [03:01] Gulfstream: use qalculate and from there you should be able to cut and paste I think.. not much experience.. but plotting and graphing with a math formula is suppose to be easy with this program [03:01] does someone know how to change how long a server socket is unusable after it's dropped for? [03:01] I am trying to set up a virtual host and confused on what IP to use? [03:01] *it's been dropped [03:02] can anyone help?

[03:04] *rename* === orospakr` is now known as orospakr [03:04] What do I need to install to read vfat fs? [03:04] Nisstyre65: they are intended for different purposes and are not mutually exclusive [03:04] MTecknology: nothing [03:05] jrib: lies [03:05] MTecknology, it is a kernel module [03:05] MTecknology: you can read vfat by default [03:05] sudo modprobe vfat [03:05] Hi guys - I have a problem with a SAMBA share when using "valid users = username" - the share will require user/password and when you intro the information requested it will reject it. Other shares without restrictions still allows the same user to see the shares. Samba should not ask for the password and should let me access to that share (I am trying to lockout the share from other smb users) Help please or ideas? [03:05] ilovefairuz, true, so does Ubuntu start the dbus daemon at boot then? [03:05] !details | MTecknology [03:05] MTecknology: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:05] Nisstyre65: yes [03:05] all right, thanks [03:05] id10t: I forgot about that part - thanks - what about for mkfs.vfat? [03:06] ilovefairuz: I didn't leave out details [03:06] iSlack, assume you created passwod w/ smbpasswd -a username? [03:06] id10t - yes and the user / pw combo works fine, for all other shares without "valid users" [03:06] MTecknology, it is there on my default debian and ubuntu installs...

[03:08] !grub2 > WilliamHerry [03:08] WilliamHerry, please see my private message [03:08] yxz97, you must burn the ISO [03:09] Free_Java_Now: No you don't. [03:09] Free_Java_Now, I actually burn it with brazero [03:09] yxz97: There are a number of ways. Using a USB stick works. [03:09] MTecknology, no, you are asking the wrong questions [03:09] SpaceGhostC2C: no [03:09] SpaceGhostC2C, He needs to burn the iso inorder to use build essentials [03:09] MTecknology: Then does your config have the module for it? [03:09] id10t: no- i'm not - what application is needed to run mkfs.vfat [03:09] anybody have any suggestions for why would valid users on samba not work? [03:09] package* [03:09] Free_Java_Now: You don't need to burn the ISO. [03:09] I have a 500GB Maxtor HD [03:09] SpaceGhostC2C: yes [03:09] USB HDD [03:09] MTecknology: Install dosfstools. Everyone else already has it because they aren't obsessed with package removal. [03:09] good morning [03:09] SpaceGhostC2C, how I do that [03:10] MTecknology, well, the kernel, a shell of some sort, probably some libraries [03:10] I have also important data in this USB drive, SpaceGhostC2C [03:10] yxz97, Trust me burn the ISO [03:10] rww: thanks, I knew it wasn't a hard question [03:10] yxz97: What OS do you have on your machine now. [03:10] MTecknology: For future reference, /msg ubottu !find mkfs.vfat works. [03:10] SpaceGhostC2C, ubuntu [03:10] Free_Java_Now: He doesn't *need* to burn it. [03:10] but I want a clean install [03:10] rww: I'll try to remember that [03:10] format the hdd and reinstall again [03:10] SpaceGhostC2C, He will fuck up his hardrive data corruption [03:10] yxz97: You can do it a few different ways. [03:10] Free_Java_Now: Language. [03:11] Free_Java_Now, I did, but like the image is not working [03:11] Free_Java_Now, language [03:11] Free_Java_Now, the CD drive is not reading the drive [03:11] SpaceGhostC2C, ok, but be more specific [03:11] please [03:11] yxz97: So, you don't want any of the data on the drive now? [03:11] ilovefairuz: I found the command I was looking for, was what your game me without the -c... thank you [03:11] yeah, my other OS [03:11] which is secret [03:11] hi guys, need some help with viewing 4GB on 10.04 [03:11] lol [03:11] ilovefairuz: [03:12] ilovefairuz: *gave [03:12] yxz97, Why is your other OS secret do you have porn on it ? [03:12] iwan, 32bit? [03:12] iwan, the live cd doesn't have a pae kernel so you'll see 3.2, otherwise after install you should see it w/ either pae kernel or 64bit install [03:12] yxz97: yxz97 unetbootin works [03:12] yes [03:12] iwan, install linux-generic-pae if so [03:12] yxz97: Just in general you should not have important data in only one drive (without a backup), especially if the drive is a flash drive. I've had countless flash drives fail on me, most corrupting data silently before dying completely.

[03:15] It's easiest to just burn a cd at 8x and then reinstall from there. [03:15] i'll try that now [03:15] <_BC05t3au_> test [03:15] grub2 as two options [03:15] man this is chinese for me [03:15] help! [03:15] hey guys. I'm having fits with the nvidia installer on my mythbuntu diskless. is nouveau compiled in the kernel or something? I can't get it to disable no matter what I do it seems. Any advice? [03:16] Jordan_U: ok then, thanks much, you ROCK! [03:16] yxz97: unetbootin, or grub2. Two options. [03:16] just installed chromium and flash player not working, any ideas?

I'm planning on selling my old computer and would like to do it with Ubuntu pre-installed [03:18] carandraug: there is an OEM option iirc on the alternate cd [03:18] carandraug, yeah there is, make a partition with the installation iso on it and set the computer to boot to it [03:18] can I create the USB with a USB of 512mB? [03:18] or do what IdleOne said [03:18] I vaguely remember seeing something like that [03:18] seeing what [03:19] Young_Hova: and OEM install option [03:19] whats this Step 5: Back on the PPA's overview page, look for the Signing key heading. You'll see something like: [03:19] yxz97: No, you'll need >= 700Mb [03:19] Hell I have a drive with 3 partitions 2 NTFS and 1 LINUX [03:19] IdleOne, Nisstyre65 thanks. I'll look into both options [03:19] this is a single USB hard rdrive of 500GB [03:20] may "deploy" the iso in the linux part of boot from there? [03:20] yxz97, you should get PartedMagic iso [03:20] do you understand me? Whaty I'm trying to say? [03:20] Young_Hova: He's trying to avoid burning a disc. [03:20] PartedMagic will help you slice up your disk [03:20] I dont know if there any here gots what I'm trying to say [03:21] I don't need slice anything Young_Hova [03:21] THe partitions are already made [03:21] He should burn the Ubuntu Linux iso so he it use it as a Live disk yah feel me ? [03:21] Yeah I dont want burn it [03:21] IdleOne: Can you boot a iso in grub and then use it to reinstall Ubuntu on the same partitions the iso is on? [03:21] Young_Hova: See my above message to you. :) [03:22] the shit, brasero I guess burn the image with errors. [03:22] yxz97, Why dont you want to create an Ubuntu Live disk do you feel me ? [03:22] yxz97, unetbootin from a 1GB or larger flash key [03:22] language yxz97. [03:22] spacebug-: no idea [03:22] SpaceGhostC2C: ^^ [03:22] sorry spacebug- [03:22] Young_Hova, I feel you? wtf! [03:22] IdleOne: Oh okay. I wasn't sure if it loads into ram completely or not. It's worth a try. [03:22] yxz97: Language. [03:22] yxz97, lol [03:23] yxz97: please keep the language clean, acronyms are not welcome either. thank you. [03:23] IdleOne, what'up? [03:23] IdleOne, whats'up? [03:24] yxz97: You're going to need one of two things. A USB key with >=700Mb, or you can try booting the ISO from grub2 and then reinstalling Ubuntu from that. [03:24] yxz97: Those are the easiest ways I know of to reinstall Ubuntu without a cd and without using other computers in the process. [03:24] SpaceGhostC2C, It is too complicated all he has to do is burn the live disk [03:25] SpaceGhostC2C, I have a USB and I already told you the partitions in this USB Drive [03:25] I did [03:25] xttaetg: Perhaps you should ask in the channel instead of PM'ing me. I'm only one person. [03:25] gru2 not sure how works [03:25] yxz97: I'm just saying you have some choices. :) [03:25] grub2 not sure how works [03:25] SpaceGhostC2C, yeah yeah I understand [03:26] I told you it would be too complicated for him [03:26] anyone know a way with sed using patterns to seperate 3 words, like "Able Tasman Park" into "Tasman Park" ? [03:26] ie remove first word [03:26] yxz97, Just burn an Ubuntu Live disk and master that install first [03:27] awk '{ print $2 $3}' [03:27] Young_Hova: Perhaps he doesn't want or can't do a livecd. What nao? [03:27] al_nz1, use cut [03:27] Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop. Where can I start debugging this? [03:27] Young_Hova, dont you hell understand what I'm being talking to you since last 20 minutes! [03:27] Nisstyre65, thats a new command for me [03:27] yxz97: Calm down. [03:28] SpaceGhostC2C, then he should switch back to Windows [03:28] when I install the software gmlive ,have a error:you intltools is too old,but i have install the newer [03:28] Young_Hova: That attitude isn't helpful. [03:28] SpaceGhostC2C, lol [03:28] yxz97, extract the cd contents and use the wubi install? (you know now everything about wubi that i know...) [03:28] no wubi, wth!!! [03:28] yxz97: You can boot into windows and use wubi if you wanted. [03:28] what is that dudee? id10t [03:28] All, I'm having trouble disabling nouveau in 10.10 to install the proprietary drivers. Any advice? [03:28] no i m using ubuntu now, here [03:29] WilliamHerry, was that answer for me? [03:29] yxz97, lets you run/install ubuntu from within windows [03:29] yxz97: You have those options. Take them or leave them, it's all I can give you. [03:29] Im running, playing with unetbootin [03:29] i need some srs help [03:29] hola [03:29] id10t, you seem like a Jedi and you are trying to give instructions to a Padawan [03:29] i can't log into my ubuntu normally [03:29] or my windows [03:29] rofflecoptor: Ask them :) [03:29] hola [03:29] al_nz1: you can use cut instand of sed, [03:29] SpaceGhostC2C, hey, .... [03:29] palint240: hola :) [03:29] como estan :) [03:29] i did a while back but nobody ever answered me [03:29] yo hablo español tambien! tzicatl [03:29] :O [03:29] they asked me to run some commands and i did [03:29] !language [03:29] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:29] cool [03:29] palint240: wooow [03:30] enceñame inglishs :) [03:30] !language | tzicatl [03:30] tzicatl: please see above [03:30] lol [03:30] !es | yxz97 [03:30] yxz97: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:30] palint240: este es un canal en inglès. [03:30] And don't abuse the bot, yxz97. [03:30] awk '{ print $2,$3 }' is also work al_nz1 [03:30] ok [03:30] ubottu: sorry about that [03:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:31] i was trying to upgrade my ubuntu 8.04 to the new one when it overheated [03:31] i put some new thermal paste in and cleaned it [03:31] WilliamHerry, I have a long list of words, most are one word per line, some are two and three per line [03:31] and when i logged back in it would screw up while booting [03:31] hi everyone! [03:31] the two and three words per line need to be seperated onto there own line [03:32] rofflecoptor, you changed the thermal paste for the cpu? [03:32] i would get this General error mounting filesystems [03:32] ya for the cpu [03:32] lol [03:32] it was almost gone [03:32] is there anyone who installed apache webserver on his linux? i want pdo_mysql.so file to load it via dl() function.i dont have a linux system.but need it. [03:32] rofflecoptor, maybe the processor was not the problem at all.. [03:32] rofflecoptor: Has the system been damaged during the overheat? [03:32] sprung: you here? [03:33] al_nz1: i don't know very well about sed [03:33] no [03:33] test [03:33] thank you [03:33] if i go into the boot cd [03:33] i can see all my old windows folders and ubuntu folders [03:33] but when i try to boot normally [03:33] or even in recovery mode i keep getting errors [03:33] So, I will ask my question again :) Hi all. I can't change the brightness on a Gateway Laptop with ubuntu 10.10. I already played with the /proc/api/video/*/brigthness [03:33] settings and get no results. Where else can should I look to debug this? [03:33] and everything is all read only [03:33] rofflecoptor: Maybe your filesystem is damaged. Have you fsck'd it? [03:33] how do i do that [03:33] rofflecoptor: Boot from livecd [03:34] rofflecoptor: man fsck [03:34] I'm trying to migrate my installation to a new HD, but I can't seem to get grub installed. I installed "grub-pc" but it didn't seem to pull down the actual program "grub" [03:34] kk i am [03:34] rofflecoptor, maybe the device map is changed... do a fdisk -l or cfdisk -l and compare it to the drive's /etc/fstab [03:34] I'm using Ubuntu One and either it's going very slow uploading my files or something's not working right. It has generated the empty folders and directory tree but there's no files. Is this normal, does it just take a while to get it all uploaded? i'm not seeing any progress bars to tell me. [03:34] al_nz1, echo "1 2 3" | cut -d " " -f 2,3 [03:35] or in your case echo "Able Tasman Park" | cut -d " " -f 2,3 [03:35] sprung: if you don't get an answer in here there is also #ubuntuone that maybe can help [03:35] sprung: ps -ef | grep ubuntuone [03:35] oh [03:36] why is this cron job not working? "35 3 * * * vlc -R /home/monotoko/alarm2.mp3" [03:36] hey [03:36] should run it at 03:35? [03:36] ok, so unetbootin creates a bootable unit in my USB? [03:36] none of that looks the same or seems to work [03:37] Monotoko: what is the full path to vlc? [03:37] from there I reboot the computer and .. install from the USB to my laptop? [03:37] yxz97: Probably reformats it in the process. [03:37] yxz97, provided its large enough, yes [03:37] is this the process? [03:37] like when i first boot up i see grub [03:37] bazhang: Does it reformat the drive too? [03:37] and can see my recovery and windows [03:37] SpaceGhostC2C, yes [03:37] but i can't boot into windows [03:37] Skapare, ...I am not quite sure, I installed it from apt, I believe it is in one of the bin folders though [03:37] and either linux option just does the same thing [03:37] SpaceGhostC2C, format, scare me [03:37] Hola a todos [03:37] Skapare: `which vlc` [03:37] I hope not lost of my other partitions, but I check and not [03:37] Monotoko: do "which vlc" to get the full path [03:38] and when i try to reinstall it, it says it doesn't see any partitions [03:38] Monotoko: then use that full put in the crontab [03:38] unetbootin now says... [03:38] rofflecoptor, please keep it on a single line, its very hard to follow otherwise [03:38] Reboot current [03:38] so i can't even reinstall it without screwing up my windows partition and having to reinstall that [03:38] yxz97: It's possible, that if you just ran unetbootin, you just reformatted your usb drive. If you didn't run it, then you didn't lose your data. [03:38] after rebooting, select the USB boot option from the bios boot menu, Reboot now? [03:38] Skapare, done...lets see what happens in a minute [03:39] hey, does anybody here know how to change kompozer's split view to include all the source code instead of just the currently selected element??? [03:39] SpaceGhostC2C, you are the guys more consufin in the worls [03:39] Skapare, nothing happened...does aplay play mp3s? [03:39] world [03:39] haha [03:39] yxz97: I'm sorry. [03:39] ok, I'll reboot, and check of this machine has USB booting capability, I hope so [03:40] SpaceGhostC2C, no problem, is just confusing for me, understand.. [03:40] Monotoko: there might be a permissions problem, too ... make a script that gets run by cron ... which writes a message to a file and runs vlc (full path in the script) [03:40] I'm a programmer, SpaceGhostC2C so, I prefer no ambiguos language, and be more specific at all [03:40] brb [03:40] hope [03:41] thanks guys can now see 4GB Ram [03:41] yxz97: FYI: I have pre-built images of Ubuntu ready to directly dd to a USB memory stick ... no unetbootin needed ... but it DOES erase the whole device [03:41] iwan: L:) [03:41] skapare: he quit [03:41] iRabbit: his loss [03:42] Skapare: unetbootin does it a bit cleaner. [03:42] SpaceGhostC2C: depends ... you haven't seen how I do it :) [03:42] Skapare: Whatever. :) [03:42] SpaceGhostC2C: my images can be dd'd to USB ... AND ... can still also be used as an ISO and burned to a DVD [03:42] I personally just run a pxe server. [03:43] Skapare: Pretty much the same with the ubuntu iso, no? [03:43] SpaceGhostC2C: PXE is fine, too [03:43] Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel. [03:43] People are sleeping in the xubuntu channel. I just wanted to know how to change the background image on the login screen. [03:43] SpaceGhostC2C: mine is the ubuntu ISO with a few changes to make it work dd'd to USB memory stick flash drive [03:43] Skapare, I tried mplayer and it is working, I suspect its because vlc doesn't like not being given a display to run from [03:44] how do i extract mp3 from a flv file [03:44] Monotoko: that's probably the issue [03:44] When i first boot up i see grub the way it normally is and can see my normal ubuntu, recovery, and windows. If I go into either linux option just does the same thing. If I try to go into windows it screws up and won't boot into windows. If I look on my hard drive while in the live cd I can see everything fine. I have most of my stuff on my ubuntu partition backed up that I want so I don't mind reinstalling it, but when I try to install [03:45] Jp82191: ffmpeg -i vid.flv -acodec copy output.mp3 [03:45] I fail! [03:45] rofflecoptor, what do you mean "does the same thing" for ubuntu. does it work or not? (for fixing windows boots-- use the free paragon rescue kit cd) [03:45] how do I kill all current jobs in a terminal? [03:45] I boot successfully but I get a error [03:45] yxz97: Which was? [03:45] says, couldnot find image kernel linux [03:45] avelldiroll: under terminal? [03:45] wtf, is that [03:45] Monotoko: all current jobs, as in? [03:45] yxz97, you didn't boot [03:46] SpaceGhostC2C, as in the ones that have been backgrounded [03:46] yxz97: You've been told, your TLA's aren't family friendly. [03:46] Jp82191: yes ... youn need to install the ffmpeg package first [03:46] TLAs? [03:46] mmm [03:46] yxz97: Three letter acronyms. [03:46] Jessus.. what's that? [03:46] SpaceGhostC2C: in case you are curious ... http://slashusr.net/ubuntu/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso.img [03:46] avelldiroll: installing now [03:46] yagoo it goes along fine for a minute then just fails and says 'General error mounting filesystems' and i get the root@laptop prompt [03:46] ubottu: tell yxz97 about wtf [03:46] yxz97, please see my private message [03:46] yxz97, he doesn't know anything.. but try to be more efficient in your questions.. [03:46] Skapare: thanks, but no thanks. :) [03:47] yagoo: who doesn't know anything? [03:47] ubottu: tell Monotoko about wtf [03:47] Monotoko, please see my private message [03:47] which is retarded because I can still type login and login and see all the contents of my home folder [03:47] OK, so because I'm from not your family? [03:47] that the problem? ah??? [03:47] Jp82191: if it's not already done, it might be a good idea to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" too [03:47] rofflecoptor, this isn't a channel on fixing your windows boot.. I gave you a hint of a tool about it ^^ [03:47] yxz97: Keep your language g-rated [03:48] im talking about my ubuntu boot [03:48] yagoo: It's not specifically windows. [03:48] st__, help me [03:48] rofflecoptor: So, you can't boot into either system? [03:48] st__, what was that error? [03:48] i can't boot into windows at all [03:48] rofflecoptor, wrong channel again. [03:48] st__, I made the wrong with UNetbootin? [03:48] rofflecoptor: Just windows, or windows and another OS? [03:48] yxz97, the partition you selected had no kernel, and wan't your os partition [03:48] i just told you windows isn't the problem [03:49] when i boot into ubuntu [03:49] now ubuntuone-preferences won't start [03:49] ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on com.ubuntuone.Preferences:/: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [03:49] anyone installed php on his ubuntu????? [03:49] it get the same problem [03:49] !ask | rio_ [03:49] rio_: 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. :-) [03:49] * yagoo thinkgs rofflecoptor is trolling about "it" ambiguous boot issues. [03:49] rio_: php on my servers at work [03:49] omg [03:49] HELP BY GOD [03:49] yagoo: Maybe you should leave the issue alone then. [03:49] i've explained it like 20 different ways [03:49] when i log into ubuntu [03:49] I select the image is unetbootin [03:50] even my recovery it says General error mounting filesystems and i am in a cli that says root@laptop [03:50] select my HDD usb, and check it later with Nautilus! [03:50] SpaceGhostC2C, I already have. You help him then... good luck to that. [03:50] rofflecoptor: Ubuntu on your hard drive? [03:50] yes [03:50] and has the files from the ISO!

[03:52] Speaking of images, how do I change the background image of the login screen in Xubuntu? [03:53] avelldiroll: says no directory found [03:53] he's telling yxz to wait [03:53] i dont get it [03:53] AcidBarrel: The patience part. [03:53] AcidBarrel: being patient is good advice for everybody [03:53] lol okay :D [03:53] AcidBarrel: Repeat the question about every 10-15 minutes. [03:54] indonesia [03:54] Jp82191: you need to point to your .flv file in the commande line [03:54] IdleOne, sorry but too much waste time doing this simple install [03:54] my ubuntu wont connect to my bluetooth, it connects, and sees the cell phone but doesnt appear in the file manager list. [03:54] ubottu: id | cakeep [03:54] cakeep: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [03:55] avelldiroll: how do i do that? [03:55] ?? [03:55] what t mean?

[03:55] :D [03:56] hey, does anybody know how to change kompozer's split view to include all the file's source code instead of just the currently selected element?? [03:56] salam kenal [03:56] cakeep: Read the message from ubottu [03:56] avelldiroll: saved here /home/jorge/Videos [03:56] I can't install anything [03:56] named vid2.flv [03:56] AcidBarrel, doesnt look like u getting any resposnse.. use google "ubuntu bluetooth wiki" -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup%29%5B%5BBR [03:56] but i will try to recreate it [03:56] avelldiroll: name of video vid2.lv [03:56] rofflecoptor: Error messages make us happy. [03:56] AcidBarrel, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [03:57] SpaceGhostC2C, st__ IdleOne look this http://imagebin.org/124164 [03:57] yxz97: Okay. So, what happens after you run it? Any errors? [03:57] whY i get that error from the booter, after boot my machine [03:57] Jp82191: so open a terminal and input the following: ffmeg -i /home/jorge/Videos/vid2.flv /home/jorge/Videos/output.mp3 [03:57] yxz97: Try it again. [03:57] SpaceGhostC2C, be more specific, run what? [03:58] yxz97: unetbootin. [03:58] ok [03:58] no error [03:58] i see n learn [03:58] yxz97: Did you match the md5 signature of the iso? [03:58] SpaceGhostC2C, no... help me with that first, your right [03:58] SpaceGhostC2C, the ISO could be damage! [03:59] said pastebinit wasn't isntalled [03:59] yxz97: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [03:59] rofflecoptor: apt-get install pastebinit [03:59] I have a file called ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [03:59] I'll check it now! [03:59] rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [03:59] :D [03:59] then when i followed directions to install it said some stuff aboutdpkg was interrupted and things are all locked [03:59] yxz97: Good idea! [03:59] :o .. still on the pastebinit.. [03:59] rofflecoptor: sudo apt-get install -f [03:59] yagoo: Was that constructive or helpful? [04:00] SpaceGhostC2C, this is not a discussion channel. [04:00] yagoo: Exactly my point. [04:00] Im remotely Setting up my gf computer for ubuntu and its stopping short on the install [04:00] that didn't work either [04:00] " Anyways, this isn't a discussion channel." [04:00] sad 'Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock' [04:00] definitely has no sense of discussion heads. [04:01] and below it it said 'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run...' [04:01] Is this a discussion channel or did I stumble onto DALNet? [04:01] it's a closet kid. [04:01] rofflecoptor: run the command in that message [04:01] it says ready when you are [04:01] yagoo: stay on topic please [04:01] i've done all this stuff before [04:01] IdleOne, I'm on topic. But some folks don't know how to help. [04:01] rofflecoptor: And no changes at all? [04:02] it says 'dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system' [04:02] yagoo: you are not helping now. Please stop the offtopic comments [04:02] when i run it [04:02] Jp82191: did it work then ? [04:02] rofflecoptor: So, then possibly give us the line that is relevant to your / fs in /etc/fstab [04:02] IdleOne, that was a rude comment I quoted. Sadly you don't see that. [04:02] rofflecoptor: and /etc/mtab [04:02] "." [04:02] SpaceGhostC2C, hey [04:02] yxz97: Any changes? [04:02] hello. I need to open an .MDE file from microsoft access in ubuntu. I try using openoffice base but it isn't work. Please help. Thank you. [04:02] yagoo: sadly you don't seem to understand when to drop it. [04:03] the iso is not corrupted [04:03] thats something [04:03] hehe [04:03] yxz97: Okay. so, try unetbootin with that iso again, hopefully it will work. [04:03] im typing it manually and i'll pastebin it in a second [04:03] * iRabbit grabs popcorn [04:03] rofflecoptor: Very cool. :) [04:03] SpaceGhostC2C, did you see the image I paste? [04:03] yxz97: The original, yes. [04:03] kids. lol. [04:04] yxz97: Try running the install again. Are you sure that /dev/sdb1 is the usb drive? [04:04] yxz97: You do realize IdleOne is an op and you're not helping the situation by not dropping it right? [04:04] avelldiroll: yes it worked thank you!! [04:04] anyone know why my keyboard sometimes dont work on ubuntu 10.10?? [04:04] Yeah I said I check it with nautilus and this partion was empty, but now has all the files there... [04:04] yxz97: Disregard that last message. [04:04] SpaceGhostC2C: he left [04:04] IdleOne: His loss. [04:04] I figured it out... Bluetooth manager did what i needed [04:05] yxz97: Did you run unetbootin? [04:05] IdleOne: no he didn't [04:05] SpaceGhostC2C, did you confuse me with another mate? [04:05] rww: ? [04:05] yxz97: Yes, sorry about that. [04:05] SpaceGhostC2C, I notice [04:05] SpaceGhostC2C, no problem [04:05] yxz97: Did you run the unetbootin installer again? [04:06] i have downloaded YUM file for adobe flash player, how to install it? [04:06] Can be confusing give help to many fellas at the same time [04:06] I guess [04:06] I will, I will give me a second [04:06] rww: SpaceGhostC2C tab complete failed but we both knew what we were talking about :) [04:06] IdleOne: yeah. Just figured that out >.> [04:06] people! i want only this file(pdo_mysql.so) to download.if you have php on your ubuntu? [04:06] I will delete everything from that partitions to ensure that unetbootin does the copy and extract of the files SpaceGhostC2C [04:06] SpaceGhostC2C, hey [04:07] SpaceGhostC2C, what0s this alternate, ISO image about? [04:07] rio_: The majority of people who use Ubuntu don't use php in the way your system admin is suggesting you to. It's a rather odd way. [04:07] sl33k_: are you going to install it in Ubuntu? [04:07] Hello guys , is there a command line that when i write i get information about my username ? Like "WhoAmI" but returns the real name and groups and these stuff ? [04:07] SpaceGhostC2C, servet, netbook, desktop, sound common, but alternate, is not specific at all! [04:07] !alternate | yxz97 [04:07] yxz97: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

Any quick and easy terminal methods? [04:09] but i want to use yum [04:10] rofflecoptor: Boot into the ubuntu livecd, and then you'll want to fsck the partition/drive that / is on. [04:10] xttaetg: Then I suggest you switch distros. [04:10] |NX|1: I would try running off a USB flash drive, if thats viable [04:10] angbermu: ya [04:10] Fedora is available. [04:10] how do i do that? [04:10] <|NX|1> iRabbit: also not viable [04:10] yum is in the repos [04:10] rofflecoptor: Do you have an ubuntu cd?

What's wrong with apt/dpkg? [04:10] ya its booting [04:10] <|NX|1> with wubi [04:11] <|NX|1> anyone familiar with that? [04:11] IdleOne: Doesn't that make things a little messy?

[04:12] how do i install adobee flash on ubuntu [04:12] ? [04:13] <|NX|1> Jordan_U: Because I want to use wubi [04:13] sl33k_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras is one. Umm one sec.

[04:13] <|NX|1> I will not be satisfied until I figure out what is wrong with wubi :P [04:13] sl33k_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [04:13] sl33k_, easiest way? install ubuntu-tweak and click the check-mark next to flash [04:13] sl33k_: What IdleOne said. [04:13] !tweak [04:13] sl33k_: you can try many things, download the deb or the bin file provided by adobe or go to ubuntu software center and search for adobe reader [04:13] no needfor ubuntu tweak or whatever it is called [04:13] !flash | sl33k_ [04:13] sl33k_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:13] people! i am tired! i want you searching in your php installation path for pdo_mysql.so and send it for me. it is not so hard. [04:14] sorry I am a newb...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? [04:14] ubuntu tweak is handy for more reasons than just flash, i liked it when i was on ubuntu before i switched to arch [04:14] sl33k_: listen to IdleOne [04:14] SpaceGhostC2C okay the livecd has loaded [04:14] rio_: I'm sorry, but the answer you seek won't be here if you don't play nicely. :) [04:14] finding and downloading a package that isn't in the repositories, then using it to install another package is easier than just installing the in-repository Flash package? huh.

[04:15] yxz97: How rather odd. [04:15] hello. I need help to open this mde files in ubuntu... [04:15] yxz97: That's not what !language is for. [04:15] yxz97: Don't abuse the bot please.

[04:15] IdleOne, yes.... [04:15] IdleOne: Oh wait. He did say his ubuntu was borked. [04:16] _jesse_: thanks much [04:16] |NX|1: Wubi is a great concept for end users who are Windows dependent.... however it is very buggy. You would be better off with Ubuntu on a USB flash drive, Live CD, or CD boot install. [04:16] IdleOne, that question is out of side, becuase If I get the grub asking mefor the kernel... [04:16] yxz97: If you boot into your ubuntu install, what error do you get? The sameone? [04:16] appologies once again for the paste...does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? [04:16] yxz97: right, sorry :) [04:16] s/sameone/same one/ [04:16] |NX|1: It looks like a problem downloading the iso. You can probably work around it by downloading the iso yourself and putting it in the same directory as the wubi executeable. [04:16] IdleOne, no problem, but help me! [04:16] SpaceGhostC2C it says 'No manual entry for fsk' [04:16] IdleOne, :S [04:16] yxz97: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:16] rofflecoptor: fsck then? [04:17] is gnu gnash also required? [04:17] <_jesse_> Ed_Money: ls -la | wc -l if you want to count hidden files :) make sure to subtract two for the 'special' . and .. files [04:17] sl33k_: No [04:17] SpaceGhostC2C, could not find image kernel: linux [04:17] yxz97: SpaceGhostC2C is trying, let him try and get this worked out with you. just need to be patient a bit. [04:17] this one! SpaceGhostC2C [04:17] Can I boot off of a thumb drive with yaboot? Ubuntu PPC port [04:17] IdleOne, yeah sorry [04:17] its weird this error, I mean... [04:17] yxz97: So, if you boot from the ubuntu on the hard drive, then you get a "could not find image kernel: linux" ? [04:17] linux image kernel, wtf... [04:17] sorry! [04:17] :S [04:18] Ronaldlo: You should be able to, yes. I'm guessing that you're asking because it isn't working for you though :) [04:18] SpaceGhostC2C, exactly I mean that is what is being reading from the USB drive [04:18] Ronaldlo: might try asking in #ubuntu-ppc, it is a small channel and might be quiet at the moment. [04:18] could be Unetbootin buggy? [04:18] Jordan_U: I'm asking because I have no idea how I would. [04:18] yxz97: It's possible that it is. [04:18] I would like format this partition. [04:18] IdleOne: I tried once, everyone idle [04:19] okok, unetbootin is not good in this work [04:19] yxz97: Are you running unetbootin from Ubuntu or from windows? [04:19] Ronaldlo: try reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:19] Jordan_U, ubuntu I said before mate [04:19] IdleOne: What a wiki title! [04:20] hello? [04:20] how can I format /dev/sdb1 p? [04:20] from cli [04:20] partition [04:20] IdleOne: I'm not dual booting. I got rid of osX completely [04:20] yxz97: fdisk or my favorite cfdisk [04:20] yxz97: You might want to try using grub2 instead. [04:20] avelldiroll: thanks a world! but i have windows7 how can i open these.deb files? [04:20] Ronaldlo: still the guide might be helpful [04:20] my favorite way to formatt is gparted [04:20] how can I combine all files in a directory in one file? [04:21] Jordan_U, yeah but let give a second change to unetbootin.. SpaceGhostC2C are we out of ideas? [04:21] or I need try grub2? SpaceGhostC2C :S [04:21] Jordan_U: would it work to boot an ISO with grub2 in order to reinstall ubuntu on the partition the iso is on? [04:21] IdleOne: reading it now [04:21] I am new to the art of using the 'make' command. does anyone know what might cause http://paste.ubuntu.com/534772/ when trying to do a make command on a driver? [04:21] yxz97: It's just sort of an odd problem. [04:21] firewaterburnz: Did you install the build-essential package? [04:21] SpaceGhostC2C, I bet you man... [04:21] SpaceGhostC2C I typed sudo shutdown -F -r now and its kinda just hanging out now [04:21] yxz97: And you set your bios to boot from the USB first, right? [04:21] SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, as long as you have enough RAM (> 1 GiB) to use the "toram" kernel parameter. [04:21] i have an ancient lappy with pIII 900mhz and less than a half gig of ram, any recommend a full featured distro that will run semi descent on it? [04:22] no spaceghost let me check to se if its installed [04:22] hi [04:22] Jordan_U, rules! :D [04:22] rofflecoptor: shutdown -h is pretty snazzy. [04:22] hehehe [04:22] Hello, is anyone out there using a PCE-N13 wifi card? [04:22] Jordan_U: Oh, I wasn't sure if it loaded it into ram. [04:22] rio_: you do realise this an ubuntu support channel ??? ... i do not use windows ... out of the blue i would suggest 7zip but i have no certitude what so ever [04:22] SpaceGhostC2C, yeah is booting from USB [04:22] i can't type anything [04:22] tibman: lubuntu [04:22] yxz97: That's a very good idea. [04:22] help [04:22] I will double check in minute when I reboot again just to confirm it is the way it has to be [04:22] jaoziN: Ask your question. [04:22] :S [04:22] idleone, thanks ill give that a shot [04:22] !help [04:22] 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. :-) [04:22] SpaceGhostC2C: It doesn't by default, you need to manually add "toram" to the list of kernel parameters. [04:22] yxz97: Okay. :) [04:23] Jordan_U: Oh that would be the reason why. :) [04:23] my wifi not find network [04:23] it looks like its already installed spaceghost, I will try to reinstall and see what happens [04:23] Atheros AR5001 [04:23] ok, now?

[04:33] i don't want to buy a thinkpad edge to not have Ubuntu 10.10 work on it [04:33] no just a makefile [04:33] make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop. [04:33] the athlon IIs support virtualization [04:33] juk, ok will try that [04:33] rofflecoptor: Oh sorry one sec. [04:34] unlike intel, which are hit and miss [04:34] hello all [04:34] rofflecoptor: remove the source directory and re-unpack the source. [04:34] Jordan_U, I'm running ubuntu jaunty 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-19 [04:34] git__: both intel and amd are producinx i386 or amd64/x64 products ... all of them are fully supported by linux, hence with ubuntu 10.10 [04:34] Can I get mint help here ? [04:34] !mintsupport | censoredbiscuit [04:34] censoredbiscuit: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:35] SpaceGhostC2C: how do i do that? [04:35] rofflecoptor: did you download a file with the source in it? [04:35] yxz97: Unfortunately jaunty doesn't have grub2:( [04:35] or security updates [04:35] Jordan_U, sorry I was solving the puzzle in the page http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg [04:35] I assume a configure file would be like .cfg?????? [04:35] Jordan_U: Have him install grub to his flash drive then. [04:35] haha Jordan_U so nowwhat? [04:35] SpaceGhostC2C: not that I know of [04:36] firewaterburnz, what are you trying to compile? [04:36] D'aw wait. [04:36] firewaterburnz: It will be named configure [04:36] I just remember the last time my laptop wasn't screwing up I was upgrading from 8.04 and it went blank [04:36] Jordan_U, grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) that the version [04:36] a driver for wirless chipset rt2700 [04:36] firewaterburnz: if it isn't there, just run make without the sudo first. [04:36] Jordan_U, I have to update this grub? [04:36] is there a page where all the components in thinkpad Edge supported ? [04:36] Jordan_U, can I make that? [04:36] Jordan_U, we are passing nice time together my friend! [04:36] rofflecoptor: Sorry, got confused there. So, mountall is haviing a problem. [04:36] hehe [04:37] SpaceGhostC2C: I guess [04:37] k i Tried that and the errors still popped up spaceghost :-( [04:37] what log files log the boot process [04:37] SpaceGhostC2C: I can type 'login' and type my login name and password [04:37] and it changes to rofflecoptor@laptop [04:37] i am not able to download this on 10.04 ---> sudo apt-get install liblua-5.1-0-dev libboost1.40-all-dev [04:37] ok gnome locks up but i can get to TTY [04:37] and i can cd around my folders [04:37] Lazerath: /var/logs [04:37] i know the folder [04:38] ok then [04:38] which specific logs.. messages, syslog, [04:38] boot.log [04:38] Jordan_U, can I upgrade my grub to grub2 ? [04:38] Lazerath: they are all in there [04:38] ok [04:38] yxz97: Not easily, but there are other options. [04:38] nooooooo [04:38] does my folder need to be in a special location to run 'make'? [04:38] saturday night... fail.... [04:38] firewaterburnz: It seems that the source is a bit buggy. Did you already try using gksudo jockey-gtk to get your drivers? === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse [04:39] SpaceGhostC2C: you see I get my normal splash screen before it fails on my so I know its being retarded [04:39] totally out of luck for me, doing a siiiimple upgrade [04:39] haha [04:39] no way [04:39] rofflecoptor: What the problem is, is it isn't mounting thing right. So, let's see. [04:39] its funny [04:39] SpaceGhostC2C: pretending like it doesn't know where my partitions are [04:39] no I did not Spaceghost, let me try that [04:39] better than disappointment... [04:39] Jordan_U, what other options.. [04:40] rofflecoptor: Perhaps if you can, try to apt-get remove mountall. [04:40] yxz97: Just to confirm that I understand your situation. You have only one computer, which currently has Ubuntu 9.04 installed on it. You want to install Ubuntu 10.10 on this computer instead, and you can't boot from CD. But you have a flash drive that you're willing to reformat. Correct? [04:40] SpaceGhostC2C: and I can't even boot into windows at all since this happened [04:40] Jordan_U, share your knowledge mate..!! [04:40] rofflecoptor: Then install it. [04:40] rofflecoptor: Sounds like your fs got a bit muddled. [04:40] rofflecoptor: What FS did you use for your windows install? [04:40] sl33k_: try this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev libboost1.40-all-dev [04:41] Jordan_U, yeahhhh more lesss..., But also keep in mind the USB drive has 3 partitions... 2 NTFS 1 EXT2 . [04:41] ubuntu keeps forgetting my laptop runs on batteries [04:41] SpaceGhostC2C: it says Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg//lock [04:41] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem [04:41] rofflecoptor: And if you run that? === kasun_ is now known as siddhi [04:41] SpaceGhostC2C: i did this a lot of times [04:41] It's because of the RO state of / [04:41] Jordan_U, so I ran unetbootin to use the LInux Partition in this USB drive.. [04:41] josh@dreamland:~$ acpi [04:41] Battery 0: Unknown, 0% [04:41] Jordan_U, you understand me? [04:41] yxz97: And you're only willing to reformat one of the 3 partitions? [04:42] SpaceGhostC2C: unable to access dpkg stats area: Read-only file system [04:42] To reformat the LINUX one Jordan_U [04:42] since this is the one I being using since them Jordan_U [04:42] rofflecoptor: what kind of device? [04:42] rofflecoptor: Did you run that fsck? [04:42] JoshDreamland: He has a borked fs due to a overheat shutdown. [04:42] ouch [04:43] SpaceGhostC2C: yes I ran fsck -F -r now [04:43] I know. We're trying to fsck the sustem. [04:43] no it wasn't overheat now that i remember [04:43] I fixed it by upgrading the kernel to the 2.6.36 version! [04:43] rofflecoptor: did you make sure to mount the ubuntu partition first? [04:43] 2.6.35-22-generic [04:43] it just went blank during upgrade [04:43] how do i upgrade to *.36 [04:43] actually I format it with sudo mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 .. Jordan_U [04:43] normally when it overheats it just shuts down and it hadn't been on long [04:43] rofflecoptor: Oh. That can be a problem at times. [04:43] Spaceghost when I try that I get a window that says addiional drivers and then below that 'no proprietary drivers in use', [04:43] after format I create the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file as you said... Jordan_U [04:43] SpaceGhostC2C: how do i mount ubuntu partition first? [04:43] kish, may be check in synpatic? it wll be there? [04:44] anyone know how I can get this thing to recognize my battery again, without rebooting? [04:44] and out of luck my version of grub is too old nowwwww ... Jordan_U :S [04:44] abhijit, ok ;) [04:44] firewaterburnz: Hm. Okay. What I suggest is you look into rolling your own kernel if the generic doesn't have the driver. [04:44] JoshDreamland, or you connected to ac power supply? [04:44] Jordan_U, what can I do now? [04:44] AbhiJit: Yes. [04:44] or=are* [04:44] rofflecoptor: sudo mount -t /dev/ /mnt [04:44] I need a beer [04:44] I think I may just kill acpid [04:44] hehe [04:44] SpaceGhostC2C: what goes in ? [04:44] JoshDreamland, disconnect ac main powersuppyy and then agin run acpi and see if it detects [04:44] rofflecoptor: The partition type [04:44] Jordan_U, what are the other options you said to me? [04:45] lol this is getting a bit advanced for me, can you recommend a guide explaining how to that? [04:45] I mean filesystem [04:45] Jordan_U, please recap on that [04:45] ext3? [04:45] maybe it is a USB device preventing me [04:45] firewaterburnz: Did it work before? [04:45] AbhiJit: Tried that before. Doesn't. Will die without ever knowing. [04:45] I need make this today I have no more time Jordan_U to work on this Jordan_U [04:45] JoshDreamland, i see. let me check here [04:45] rofflecoptor: I think I have it somewhere, let me check. [04:45] no, this is new hardware that has not worked on anything but a windows machine [04:45] JoshDreamland, after disconnecting ac pwer 'acpi' shows batter here [04:45] firewaterburnz, can you paste the link you downloaded the driver from [04:46] rofflecoptor: Yes, ext3 [04:46] yxz97: The other option I was thinking about was using dd to write an image of Super GRUB2 Disk to the flash drive. But that would whipe all of the existing partitions, so isn't an option for you. [04:46] Battery 0: Unknown, 0% [04:46] SpaceGhostC2C: you see its acting retarded, [04:46] mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted or /mnt busy [04:46] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is mounted on / [04:46] firewaterburnz: Run a lspci and pastebin that. [04:46] k [04:46] rofflecoptor: From the livecd, you can't fsck a partition if it's in use. [04:46] Jordan_U, wise, you are right I cannot afford to use dd command since I backup some data in the other partition of this single USB drive... yeah.. [04:47] :'( [04:47] I don't know what to do [04:47] hi [04:47] unmount it [04:47] S.O.S [04:47] S.O.S [04:47] so i do the same command except unmount? [04:48] instead of mount? [04:48] rofflecoptor: Basically, chances are things are pretty borked. You're going to have to boot into the livecd then chroot into the ubuntu partition [04:48] ok [04:48] rofflecoptor: umount /mnt [04:48] is getting dark here [04:48] rofflecoptor: Or instead of /mnt just put the path. [04:48] rofflecoptor, it's umount [04:48] no more help, from FELLAS! [04:48] this is horrible! [04:48] yxz97, try forum [04:48] so i type umount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /mnt [04:48] yxz97: The forums are good too. [04:48] rofflecoptor: No, just umount [04:48] Jordan_U, no more ideas? [04:49] s/director/directory/ [04:49] so umount /dev/sda7? [04:49] rofflecoptor, no umount /mnt (no need to specifiy the type or the device, just the mount point) [04:49] hi [04:49] rofflecoptor: The mount point. [04:49] i dont know what that is [04:49] rofflecoptor: grep "sda7" /etc/mtab [04:50] it says '/dev/sda7 / ext3 rw,relatime,errors-remount-ro 0 0 [04:50] fun fact: ejecting the battery and reinserting it fixes it [04:50] ok output of lspci is http://paste.ubuntu.com/534779/ [04:51] source of driver is wget http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/f/2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0.tar.bz2 [04:51] to be honest I think that this place is the best to solve this problems the quickest [04:51] SpaceGhostC2C: so from that info i type umount /dev/sda7 [04:51] rofflecoptor: You will need to do this from a livecd. [04:51] no not really [04:51] ok [04:51] rofflecoptor: You don't umount the device node, you umount the location it's mounted to. [04:51] rofflecoptor: Which won't work here. [04:52] firewaterburnz: The broadcom one? [04:52] anybody know howto key ALT+1 in urvxt like gnome-terminal [04:52] thx [04:52] Jordan_U, why u said upgrade to grub2 is not easy [04:52] yxz97: You can load Super GRUB2 Disk from grub legacy (the version in Ubuntu 9.04). First download these two files and put them in the boot directory on the flash drive: http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso and http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/memdisk [04:52] Jordan_U, look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading%20to%20GRUB%202 [04:53] Did I mention the wireless adapter is a usb adapter? Its not the broadcom. === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [04:53] how do i go to system settings in netbook remix? [04:53] Jordan_U: Why not just do the same with the ubuntu iso? Using memdisk? [04:53] !manual | flyguy [04:53] yxz97: It's easy if you're using a version of Ubuntu that has grub2 packages. 9.04 is too old to have decent grub2 packages. [04:53] flyguy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:53] Jordan_U, wait! I'm following the instructions there [04:53] I also might mention I am installing in mythbuntu if that makes a difference [04:54] firewaterburnz: Shouldn't, no. [04:54] Jordan_U, wait wait, but they said.. "Upgrading to GRUB 2 from GRUB (legacy) in Ubuntu 9.10 or earlier versions is relatively easy." [04:54] yxz97: Maybe you're just not that relative. :) [04:54] I have 9.04, which falls in earlier version, right ? Jordan_U [04:54] SpaceGhostC2C: Because memdisk only fools bootloaders and DOS. Once you enter protected mode the kernel will search for a CD and find none. [04:54] SpaceGhostC2C, I'm a programmer! [04:54] firewaterburnz, did you read the README file and followed the steps outlined [04:54] hey, in compiz, why doesn't alt-rightclick resize the window? it shows a pop up menu instead [04:54] yxz97: So am I! [04:55] hasenj, its alt f5 [04:55] hasenj: Because right click tends to do that. Bring up context menus that is. [04:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/534781/ this is output of lsusb [04:55] firewaterburnz: Oh, usb device. [04:55] yes sir! [04:55] what is this please help [04:56] Configuring grub-pc, CHainload from menu.lst ? Yes No [04:56] yxz97, i think 9.04 is end of life [04:56] it is [04:56] AbhiJit: He's trying to upgrade. [04:56] !9.04\ [04:56] ah, it's bound to alt-middleclick by default [04:56] !9.04 [04:56] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [04:56] AbhiJit, go away, no bring bad luck to me!!!! [04:56] yxz97: Have you tried just upgrading? [04:56] :) [04:56] yxz97: A better way to phrase that sentence, and what they mean, is "If you are currently running 9.10 or later, but are still using grub legacy because you upgraded from an earlier version that doesn't install grub2 by default, it's easy to upgrade to grub2". [04:56] yayy!!! :D its EOL!!! :P [04:57] AbhiJit: This is a support channel, there are social channels for ubuntu. :) [04:57] :/ [04:57] lol [04:57] SpaceGhostC2C: okay im in the live cd now [04:57] yxz97: Have you tried upgrading the system yet? [04:57] In that question what I should have to choose? YEs to NO ? [04:57] I was trying to follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1285828 [04:57] rofflecoptor: Now, this is where things get dangerous. [04:58] SpaceGhostC2C, I prefer a clean install .. [04:58] In that question what I should have to choose? YEs to NO ? [04:58] help! [04:58] Configuring grub-pc, CHainload from menu.lst ? Yes No [04:58] after upgrading a personal machine to ubuntu 10.04, networking seems to go idle after about 3 hours, and I have to press a key on the console for the server to be reachable from the outside world... any ideas? [04:58] In that question what I should have to choose? YEs to NO ? [04:58] SpaceGhostC2C: what do i do now? [04:58] if i put the headphone in the slot, the sound is also heard from speaker? [04:59] rofflecoptor: Mmk, so what we're going to do is chroot into your ubuntu partition! [04:59] SpaceGhostC2C: ok [05:00] rofflecoptor: Let me grab you a list of commands. [05:01] yxz97: Once you have memdisk and super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso in the boot directory on the flash drive, make a boot/grub/menu.lst containing this: http://pastebin.com/1A1nteVv [05:01] sl33k_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798945 [05:01] rofflecoptor: Let's try this first. sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; export UBUNTU = /mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU [05:02] Jordan_U: Has he tried just using update-manager -d? [05:02] firewaterburnz, it would seem you did not apply the patch in the tutorial [05:02] k, give me a sec to review tutorial [05:03] spaceghostc2c: http://pastebin.com/Wt8GYs8z [05:03] SpaceGhostC2C: In the shell you cannot have spaces before or after the '='. UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu [05:03] Jordan_U: Thanks. [05:03] SpaceGhostC2C: You're welcome.

[05:04] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU [05:04] mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/ubuntu': File exists [05:04] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:04] Jordan_U, ok, done ;-) [05:05] rofflecoptor: Good. :) [05:05] rofflecoptor: export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTU [05:05] i went thru it a little and it has my old home folder [05:05] rofflecoptor: Everything should be mounted right. [05:05] now chroot $UBUNTU [05:05] whats a good packet sniffing software? [05:06] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ export UBUNTU=/mnt/ubuntu; sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 $UBUNTUmount: /dev/sda7 already mounted or /mnt/ubuntu busy [05:06] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda7 is already mounted on /mnt/ubuntu [05:06] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:06] icedtea i like wireshark :3 [05:06] icedtea, snort [05:06] rofflecoptor: did you run `chroot $UBUNTU` [05:06] yxz97: Now run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/flash/mountpoint /dev/sdX". It's very important that you replace "/path/to/flash/mountpoint" and "/dev/sdX" with the correct values. If you aren't sure what those values should be pastebin the output of "mount" and I will tell you. [05:06] ossec too [05:07] SpaceGhostC2C: no [05:07] rofflecoptor: Try that one. :) [05:07] I have a theme that changed a lot of things including the "Start button" (I don't know what it is so I just compared it to the windows equivalent); how can I change the button back to the default while keeping everything else from the theme the same? [05:07] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chroot $UBUNTU [05:07] chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/ubuntu: Operation not permitted [05:07] i have hidden the sound control bar from top right panel, how do i dislay it again?

[05:09] sl33k_, right click the panel and add to panel find the applet you want to add [05:09] yay it worked [05:09] yxz97: Ok.

[05:10] Jordan_U, you mean /dev/sdb1 and not /dev/sdb [05:10] sure [05:10] yxz97: No, I do not. [05:10] Jordan_U, hummm carefull, right am I right? [05:11] /dev/sdb will delete all on my USB drive! [05:11] yxz97: You want to install grub to the mbr of the flash drive, not to a pbr. [05:11] I have partitions there... [05:11] yxz97: No, it will not. [05:11] pbr whats is that ? Jordan_U [05:11] ' [05:11] ctmjr: there is no sound controller in thsat list [05:11] yxz97: Partition Boot Record.

[05:16] A_New_Server, get the source code edit it. (and if succeded share it with me also!!!) [05:16] Jordan_U, done [05:16] AbhiJit, that would require programming knowledge! I'm noob at C++ :P [05:16] A_New_Server, yah [05:16] C++ rules!

Cable is tested good as other computers can use that cable to see the router. [05:20] ronghail: You hang here? [05:20] Jordan_U, mate [05:20] z987k: That's a bug I've noticed in chrome. It really shouldn't load flash from blocked tabs. [05:20] z987k: Perhaps a bug report is worth your time to chrome. [05:20] ya [05:21] but how did that come up while browsing google - not a link but google itself [05:21] z987k: are you using a daily build of chrome? [05:21] SpaceGhostC2C: just a couple days since I built lfs on ubuntu [05:21] no [05:21] Jordan_U, the copy has been done [05:21] z987k: perhaps you should. there's a ppa for it. [05:21] link? [05:21] ronghail: Oh. Gotcha. [05:21] oh I just googled it [05:21] nm, google got it [05:21] is there such thing as a wireless monitor ? [05:21] lol [05:21] :) [05:21] saturday fixing my ubuntu alone late in the nightttttttttt [05:22] I think it's this one: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gezakovacs/ppa/ubuntu [05:22] git__: I prefer calling them turned off monitors, but yea? [05:22] its sunday here [05:22] ooooh it might be the modem [05:22] A_New_Server, you can drag thunderbird to the panel and remove evaluation [05:22] ctmjr, that wouldn't light up whenever I have mail :[ [05:22] regardless of the flash issue, I'm wondering how it came up in the first place [05:22] A_New_Server: AbhiJit is wrong. cd /usr/bin; mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s `which thunderbird` evolution [05:23] :o [05:23] 11:23 pm saturday [05:23] z987k: Pretty odd. Have you ran any foreign software or executables that weren't in the repos? [05:23] no [05:23] Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 32nd day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3176 [05:23] z987k: yeah, whenever the update thing pops up every few days, it just updates chrome and bam, it keeps on working fine. lately they've implemented an auto-detector that detects if a page is in english or not - if it's not, it figures out what language it is and asks you if you want to translate it right there on the spot [05:24] hello? [05:24] got some issue with network connection on the desktop. ethernet. System was working before a move (no change in router or settings) and when I plugged the pc in tonight eth0 will not connect to router. Cable is tested good as other computers can use that cable to see the router. anyone have a suggestion on what to check first? yes eth0 is enabled graphically. [05:24] what's funny is that it works faster than firefox and without adding an add-on that makes ff slower [05:24] yxz97: Try rebooting into the LiveCD. If everything goes as planned, you should first see a menu with a single entry "Load Super GRUB2 Disk". After you select that you should get a menu like here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SuperGRUB2Disk#Menu_.2F_Features and you should select "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos/)". That should bring you to another menu with only one option, to boot the ubuntu 10.10 iso. After ... [05:24] ahhhh [05:24] ... selecting that you will get yet another menu where you can finally select to boot Ubuntu :) [05:25] yxz97: s/LiveCD/Flash Drive/ [05:25] Gnea, I do like the speed [05:25] where is this module located in? sudo modprobe r8192se_pci [05:25] whenever I load ff or konqueror, the hard drive chugs away - whenever I load chrome, I can hear it for a brief moment, and then the browser is on the screen [05:25] z987k: yeah, they've really done a fine job [05:25] how do i search for it? [05:26] I fear the daily builds will lead to a crash eventually [05:26] hi channel, i'm trying to upgrade fglrx and it's screwing up [05:26] ronghail, what do you mean which thunderbird? Do you mean: mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s 'thunderbird 3.1.6' evolution? [05:27] z987k: I don't care, if they do I'll just backup my chrome profile and debug it until I find the problem [05:27] A_New_Server: type this: which thunderbird [05:27] the `` will put the output of that there [05:27] I've been using the daily builds for a bout 4 months now and never once had any catastrophe [05:28] that's with 10.04 running on a netbook [05:28] Jordan_U, heyyy [05:28] Jordan_U, I'll be back in some minutes [05:28] Jordan_U, thank you very muuuuch [05:29] Jordan_U, Do you have something else to say, or can I reboot this "tarro" ? [05:29] ronghail, cyrus@cyrus-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ cd /usr/bin; mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s `which thunderbird` evolution [05:29] mv: cannot move `evolution' to `evolution.silly': Permission denied [05:29] ln: creating symbolic link `./evolution': File exists [05:29] cyrus@cyrus-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ [05:29] yxz97: You can reboot. [05:29] A_New_Server: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:29] Ooh, should I do sudo? [05:30] Jordan_U, ok, brb [05:30] A_New_Server: sudo su [05:31] ronghail, cyrus@cyrus-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ sudo su cd /usr/bin; mv evolution evolution.silly; ln -s `which thunderbird` evolution [05:31] Unknown id: cd [05:31] mv: cannot move `evolution' to `evolution.silly': Permission denied [05:31] ln: creating symbolic link `./evolution': File exists [05:31] A_New_Server: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] ronghail, what does the su do? I know what sudo is [05:32] problem install madwifi [05:32] please help [05:32] jaoziN: don't install it, fixed? [05:33] hi [05:33] in byobu , i choose the option to autostart at login, but it does not do so [05:33] A_New_Server: you need to be root to run those commands [05:33] also, is there some way to load programs at login, like guake or so? [05:33] jaoziN, generally when there's a problem, it's common practice to SAY what the problem is [05:33] madwifi-ng-r4073.patch ? [05:33] ronghail, isn't that what sudo does? [05:34] not the way you did it [05:34] I normally just do sudo *rest of command here* and it works [05:34] that isn't one command [05:34] hm [05:34] jaoziN: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:34] the semicolons separate commands [05:34] A_New_Server: cc1: warnings being treated as errors [05:34] so I suggested sudo su, which would give you root, which would let you run the commands [05:34] A_New_Server: install madwifi [05:35] but you did it a little weird [05:35] sudo -i - this will gives you root prompt [05:35] Alright ronghail, did sudo command by command and I didn't get any errors :] [05:35] Jordan_U: 10.10 [05:35] ronghail, but nothing is happening when I click mail now [05:35] hehe [05:35] :[ [05:35] any of you fix a problem of byobu not auto starting when you load terminal? [05:36] ronghail, I just realized thunderbird isn't installed and I've just been running it from where I downloaded it, how would I install it so it shows up in Installed Applications? [05:36] jaoziN: You should not need to install any extra drivers for your card to work in Ubuntu 10.10. What happens when you try to connect to a wireless network using network manager? Can you pastebin the output of "iwlist scan"? [05:36] !mplayer [05:36] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [05:36] What color is my head when everything goes wrong?, [05:37] this a test for verify ur are human.. [05:37] Jesus.. [05:37] A_New_Server: if you know where it is, just change that symlink to point at it. who cares where it is installed [05:37] Jordan_U: wlan0 No scan results [05:37] Jordan_U, I boot but get no a list, just the grub prompt [05:37] I do not know what enter there [05:37] ronghail, when I try to open the file evolution, it says this "This link cannot be used, because its target "which thunderbird" doesn't exist." [05:37] I test with [05:37] jaoziN: Are you sure that there are wireless networks in range, and broadcasting their ESSID? [05:38] Jordan_U: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [05:38] loopback [05:38] A_New_Server: you are really not doing anything I ask [05:38] no says I need specify a device name and file name [05:38] A_New_Server: corrupted link [05:38] A_New_Server: try to ignore the peanut gallery too [05:38] ronghail, If I'm not, I can assure you it's not on purpose [05:38] Jordan_U: yes, my iphone access network [05:39] A_New_Server: cd /usr/bin; rm evolution; ln -s /path/to/your/tbird_executable evolution [05:39] if i specify device /dev/sda [05:39] as root [05:39] A_New_Server: and btw this is the jerryrigged solution as you asked for [05:40] yxz97: What is the contents of /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst ? [05:40] hello, could someone help me recover an LVM logical volume? [05:40] A_New_Server: for future reference when someone tells you to type `` do not replace them with some other type of quote mark [05:41] ronghail, I thought it was single quotes, my font is weird [05:41] Jordan_U, title Load Super GRUB2 Disk [05:41] kernel /boot/memdisk [05:41] initrd /boot/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso [05:41] A_New_Server: they're backticks [05:41] Jordan_U: the plate was detected by the OS [05:41] so, i want to have a webserver, where should i type a vhost directive? [05:42] jaoziN: What plate? [05:42] maco, I know now :D [05:42] mikethenewbe: lvm vgscan --mknodes; lvm vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure [05:42] Hordan_U: only to find no network [05:42] ronghail, will this light up when I have mail? (Also it's working, thanks) [05:42] Jordan_U: what? [05:43] ronghail: thanks! === benji is now known as Guest38662 [05:43] jorik: You said "the plate was detected by the OS". I have no idea what that means. [05:43] hi, how do I upgrade a headless ubuntu-server Karmic Koala to Lucid ? [05:43] Jordan_U: sorry, is that I am Brazilian [05:43] Guest38662: sudo do-release-upgrade [05:43] How can I upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 without many issues? [05:44] ubottu: upgrade [05:44] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:44] rww thanks :) [05:44] A_New_Server: no, there should be some other indication I think, dunno [05:44] hey fellas, got a head scratcher for me. moved to a new house, when i powered up the computer after the move it doesnt see the router. No config changes, cable tests good (works with this laptop) same router what aside from a mysterious hardware failure could cause this issue? [05:44] Gulfstream: By waiting for it to become stable and upgrading through 10.10 [05:44] mikethenewbe: did it work? [05:44] Jordan_U, could the file permissions of super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso could be an issue ? [05:44] yxz97: No. [05:44] Jordan_U, humm ok, so now? [05:45] yxz97: You don't even see a menu with "Load Super GRUB2 Disk"? [05:45] ronghail: I'm still trying, sorry - multitasking [05:45] yxz97: You're booted into your Ubuntu, right? [05:45] SpaceGhostC2C, I know I can wait for that but I am wanting to try it on my gaming computer now but I do not want to use the dreaded 10.10 since Ndiswrapper doesn't make my wireless card work like it used to... [05:45] SpaceGhostC2C, I boot in the Flash Drive as Jordan_U said [05:46] hi [05:46] yxz97: You did name the file "menu.lst" with an "L" and not "menu.1st", correct? [05:46] Gulfstream: Have you tried using native linux drivers for your wireless card? Do they exit? [05:46] Jordan_U ,yes of course [05:47] Jordan_U: any solution? [05:47] it is a belkin F5D8053 v3 which can use a ralink driver (used a ralkink driver on the mac)... [05:48] Jordan_U, sorry I cannot take a screenshot from there? [05:48] Gulfstream: Do you know if Ubuntu worked before with your wireless card, not using ndiswrapper? [05:48] Jordan_U, I get an screen which says, tab in order to see options... [05:48] but not a list of bootable kernels, Jordan_U [05:49] yxz97: I'm not sure if it will work in Ubuntu 9.04, but can you try running boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [05:49] Jordan_U, the file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:49] I thought it's grub/grub.cfg now [05:49] DrManhattan: He's using 9.04, trying to upgrade to 10.10. [05:50] ouch - I apologize [05:51] help-me my friend [05:51] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/DfW9XQUX [05:51] DrManhattan: For grub2 :) [05:51] hmm [05:51] did not work at all without ndiswrapper... until 10.10... then it worked for 10 seconds, got slow, then disconnected [05:51] to install madwifi generate an error: [05:52] /root/madwifi-ng/ath/if_ath.c: In function 'ath_attach': [05:55] i have 2.6.35-22-generic i need 2.6.36*. is there some arcane way to get it?

[05:57] i need a more advanced files manager than (Nautilus) can you help me ? [05:57] when you started with another thing, Jordan_U could this cause a problem with your theory? [05:57] rokin: mc [05:57] sl33k_, i*86 = 32 bit x86_64= 64 bit [05:57] man it was just a graphics issue after all [05:58] yxz97: Yes. "sudo apt-get install grub" then run grub-install to the flash drive again. [05:58] AbhiJit: mine is amd64? [05:59] sl33k_, no your sis 32 bit because see at the end of the line there i686 written [05:59] is it possible to use a flash drive (4GB) and use that like the actual hard drive for a computer? [05:59] Gulfstream, yes [05:59] thanks [06:00] Jordan_U, how I aim to the lfash drive I forget it [06:00] are there any limitations with the USB set as the hard drive? [06:01] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk/ /dev/sdb Jordan_U ? [06:02] AbhiJit: when i am building a project, object codes for amd64 and x86 are mixed up? [06:02] sl33k_, not getting you. which project? [06:02] Jordan_U, ! [06:03] AbhiJit: C++ project during build [06:03] sl33k_, i dont know about package building ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-packaging [06:03] Jordan_U, ok the bash history help me [06:03] I will reboot again [06:03] yxz97: Yes (make sure that sdb1 is mounted to /media/disk/ at time). [06:03] Jordan_U, ok, i already did [06:04] I will reboot again Jordan_U [06:04] ronghail: Hey - When I issue the commands you suggest, I still get Input/Output errors, and can't mount the LV. It's telling me that drive UUID's can't be found... but I can see that the uuid's are still there useing blkid [06:04] Jordan_U, yeah sdb1 is always mounting to /media/disk, fortunately! [06:04] Jordan_U, brb [06:06] Can anyone help me get my Belkin F5D8053 v3 wireless card working in Ubuntu 10.10? [06:06] it worked fine in Lucid, Jaunty, and Karmic... [06:06] I used Ndiswrapper [06:06] but now it seems that that no longer works when I do an upgrade [06:07] lol wow [06:10] hey guys [06:10] maverick in vm is not catching the ctrl alt f1 [06:10] Can anyone help me recover an LVM volume? [06:10] host lucid catches it. [06:11] is it possible to change scroll bar behaviour so that at the ends and beginnings of long documents, the bar represents a greater amount of the document (sort of like logarithm scrolling), [06:11] byobu is set to launch from my .profile file it says "case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;" how come that does not get triggered when i login and it does not autostart byobu [06:13] Jordan_U, it works [06:13] boot into the menu Jordan_U [06:14] yxz97: Did you actually boot from the iso? [06:14] Jordan_U, but I have a problem for some weird reason the graphical installer has a problem, the video card is not working fine [06:14] Jordan_U, I actually booted from the ubuntu ISO you are a genius! [06:15] yxz97: What is happening exactly? [06:16] Ok, I got the message, SUpergrub loader.. after I select that I choose the option to boot from loopback from location /boot/boot-isos, and after the scan the ubuntu-desktop was detected I chosee this [06:16] hola === Copia_de_sud0 is now known as sud0 [06:16] I get the option from the normal installer that says if you want to run or install, but from there the graphic installer is not working fine [06:17] yxz97: In what way is it not working? What exactly is happening? [06:17] I got like, dashed the screen... like an old TV Jordan_U [06:17] how to install the Nviadia [06:17] Can anyone help me recover an LVM volume? [06:17] xttaetg: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [06:17] yes [06:18] Jordan_U, I reach the part to choose the drive allocated the space, I have always choose the option to manually do this.. since I dont wanna loose my data [06:18] Hi all. I need some assistance here with something in Ubuntu Lucid 64. I've already tried asking for help elsewwhere, and gotten no response. [06:18] Keith-BlindUser: ask the question [06:18] Jordan_U, but reboot to this old just to check with gparted how is my hard rive currently allocated and use the same structure... but I do that manually in the installer Jordan_U [06:19] Basically, what I'm trying to do, is install Vmware workstation 7.1 64-bit version onto my Ubuntu laptop here. One thing it wants to do is change the number of allowed file descripters. But in the end the installer fails to do what it needs to do-and nothing changes. WHy? [06:20] And note this happens when I'm trying to execute the installer as it asks with root permissions. [06:20] I would ask vmware [06:20] Keith-BlindUser: is the installer graphical or text-based? [06:20] how to install the Nviadia [06:20] how to install the Nviadia [06:21] I'm having some serious trouble here, I plugged in my iPod and it opened Amarok, I can see all my songs but when I try to play from the iPod, it just goes down my list of songs not playing a ny of them [06:21] Jordan_U, dev/sda6 linux-swap and dev/sda5 linux / (root) [06:21] Keith-BlindUser: been a while since I used vmware.. but on install it typically need the dependancies to build part of itself and possibly do a kernel mod.. that means you need the headers for your current kernel and "build-essential" [06:21] !nvidia | xttaetg [06:21] xttaetg: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:21] And then Ubuntu gets all laggy and opens tens of HTTP Cache folders, when I close Amarok they all close [06:21] How can I fix this? [06:21] (Am willing to use a different music player if necessary) [06:21] I have download [06:21] Jordan_U, I guess that info was the output from the script [06:21] it's a .run file [06:22] hello - I'm trying to recover an LVM volume. I can see all my drives useing blkid, but LVM throws Input/Output errors when calling vgscan. Says that the uuid's of the drives I can see with blkid arn't available. help would be awesome! [06:22] xttaetg: Did you try your locale for help [06:22] A_New_Server: you may need ubuntu-restricted-extras installed. [06:22] xttaetg: chmod +x *.run [06:22] xttaetg: sudo ./*.run [06:22] have a error [06:22] Jordan_U, I will go [06:22] cant' work at x sever [06:23] how can you copy the complete configuration of one ubuntu host to another [06:23] physical hosts [06:24] *** Couldn't look up your hostname [06:24] why [06:24] izinucs, thanks, trying it now [06:24] The installer program is graphical. [06:24] It's a .bundel file. You have to run it from within a terminal. It's a shell script. [06:25] yes i know [06:25] But the resulting installation is gui. [06:25] what do you think of ACTA ? [06:25] xttaetg: don't install it that way.. add this repo to your sources and update.. then look in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers.. "recommended" is the latest driver 26x.xx https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [06:25] Hey folks, ever since the update yesterday when I turn on my computer I get a menu of Linux versions, asking me which I want to load up. How do I get it to skip that until-and-unless I call it up during boot (which if I'm not mistaken is by hitting escape)? [06:26] my host os is centos 5,5 [06:26] Agu10: if you mean the trade agreement, try #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. If you don't, consider disambiguating. [06:26] Yerushalmi, well if you have more then 1 os or kernel it likes to show [06:26] ubuntu is a guest os [06:26] Yerushalmi, but normal with a timer before it goes defult [06:27] Something else I've noticed. My machine doesn't resume if I hibernate it. It just reboots as if I never did tel it to hibernate. Any ideas why? [06:27] hi, i am using scalpel to recover data but when i use the command : "scalpel /dev/sda8 -o output" i get the error: Opening target "/dev/sda8" ERROR: The configuration file didn't specify any file types to carve.(If you're using the default configuration file, you'll have to uncomment some of the file types.) [06:27] gogeta: It is with a timer, yes, but I'd still like to get it to skip over it entirely if I can. [06:27] xttaetg: Guest os as in virtualization? [06:27] yes [06:27] Yerushalmi, can shorten the timer i suppose [06:27] xttaetg: you can't install the nvidia drivers in a guest system.. you can try with the method I refered to but the VM application typically provides "generic" drivers and doesn't allow drivers installed directly into the guest === gidimanunaki is now known as Guest90388 [06:28] is there a backup format that lets you backup one physical ubuntu host and restore on another host with different hardware? [06:28] gogeta: Can't get rid of it entirely? It wasn't there prior to this most recent update [06:29] Yerushalmi, setting 0 on it should fly right past [06:29] ok thanks a lot [06:29] Hello all, I just installed a Xubuntu 10.04 system on my desktop using the alternate installer. Now when I try to boot it, after I enter my HD password (used full drive encryption), the screen goes black and the monitor turns off without a signal. Any suggestions? [06:29] gogeta: Unless I hit escape, right? You'll have to tell me what file to do that to, though; I'm rather new to Ubuntu, I'm afraid. [06:29] Amtrask: vid. driver problem most likely.. [06:30] Yerushalmi: does it give a list of Linux versions like linux-image-generic-2.6.32 and linux-image-generic-2.6.35? [06:30] rigved: Yup [06:30] hi guys, anyone able to stay invisible on google talk like client lyke pidgin? [06:30] izinucs: I figured but it's pretty hard to fix when I don't have a screen. The desktop has a Radeon HD 5770 [06:30] Yerushalmi, removing the old image should give the same effect [06:30] izinucs, that didn't work :[ [06:30] Yerushalmi: ok. so go to software center and remove the old linux images. make sure you keep the latest version (the one which you are using) [06:30] Yerushalmi, give computer jabator a try it might see and remove it [06:31] janator [06:31] Amtrask: typically ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a cli prompt.. [06:31] rigved, gogeta: Oh, I don't want to do that - I've always had an option of old linux images when I hit escape. Once my current image got corrupted and I had to load up an old one and use it until an update came out. Always a good idea to play it safe, no? [06:31] A_New_Server: sorry.. was worth a shot [06:32] anyone please ? [06:32] izinucs, so you don't know how to fix it? [06:32] Yerushalmi, yep buy y defult it gives the lisat if it has more then 1 image on 10.10 [06:32] what's the problem? *** Couldn't look up your hostname [06:32] A_New_Server: no sorry [06:32] Ubuntu is GOD [06:32] the battery indicator is not shoe=wing in top right? also no option in add panel? [06:32] xttaetg: what are you trying to do exactly? [06:33] Yerushalmi, im not good with edting grub 2 on how to change the setting [06:33] rigved, gogeta: Isn't there anyway to tell it to load up the current image automatically unless I tell it otherwise, without loading up the menu? The way it's been doing up till now? I know I didn't download all five extra images yesterday :p [06:33] also the volume controil [06:33] Lazerath: Do you have a support question? [06:33] A_New_Server: if you on kubuntu try kubuntu-restricted-extras :/ [06:33] Nu uh, just Ubuntu :[ [06:33] Yerushalmi, if you have more than one image, then you will have that menu. if you dont want the menu or don't want to see it unless you press a button then you need to edit grub2. [06:33] i don't understand [06:33] Yerushalmi, yea but you need to do a grub2 edit and i hate edting that thing [06:33] xttaetg: What are you trying to do? [06:34] airtonix, gogeta: That's weird, then, how come I never had that menu before yesterday? I've always had a menu of several images when I brought it up manually, what happened this time that it decided suddenly to give me the menu? [06:34] heya everyone, i noticed that ubuntu has iptables and ufw installed, what does ubuntu really use? [06:34] when i open the software Xchat [06:34] Yerushalmi, that i dunno [06:34] Yerushalmi, maybe next time it whont [06:34] report *** Couldn't look up your hostname [06:34] Yerushalmi, new image installation, software that changed the grub conf to show it? [06:35] xttaetg: ask in #freenode [06:35] ok [06:35] Yerushalmi, if your only concern is that it's ugly to look at every boot, then i suggest you look into using burg [06:35] airtonix: Yes, I had a software update yesterday. I just loaded everything automatically as usual, and it must have changed the grub conf [06:35] xttaetg: Can you reach the internet from your Ubuntu VM? [06:35] airtonix, burg? [06:36] airtonix: It's time more than ugliness. I'm just surprised at this sudden new thing. [06:36] Yerushalmi, gogeta http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/burg/ [06:36] no [06:36] yes [06:36] Yerushalmi, gogeta BURG even has a gui editor i think [06:36] airtonix, lol had to be them [06:36] i'm sorry [06:36] xttaetg: Can you reach the internet from your Ubuntu VM? [06:37] Eww WYSIWYGs. :( [06:37] heya everyone, i noticed that ubuntu has iptables and ufw installed, what does ubuntu really use? [06:37] airtonix, yea the grub2 update making it arder then grub 1 was a step back [06:37] i'm sorry ,my english is very poor [06:38] gogeta, not really. [06:38] gogeta, grub2 is miles ahead of grub1. so many more features [06:38] yes i can [06:38] So I'm curiuos what to do about the hibernation not working? My system doesn't use any non open-source drivers. [06:39] airtonix, rite and made simple edits harder [06:39] Keith-BlindUser, confirm your bios is configured properly [06:39] I'm wondering does Grub need to know what to resume from..i.e. a swap partition? [06:39] gogeta, i dont see how its any harder. [06:40] airtonix, gotta edit d40 gotta regen it [06:40] airtonix, rather then just edting 1 file [06:40] gogeta, um. no? [06:40] xttaetg: Then yes, go ask in #freenode [06:40] airtonix, if you whant your lines to stay you do [06:41] ok [06:41] how might i add universe to the repository list?

[07:33] it says "case "$-" in *i*) [07:33] what does echo $- say? does it have an i? [07:33] JOB DONE, thank you ALL, [07:33] flyguy: .profile is only executed with login shells.

[07:33] Is this something I need to adjust on my account? [07:33] So it has the proper permissions. [07:33] yes, it says himBH [07:33] I did a sudo wine, btw.

[07:35] shmup: rarely if ever. [07:35] shmup: and its not the same as 'logging in as root' [07:35] man bash [07:35] Need a countdown timer applet for Gnome.Can anyone say me the name of the package for Gnome?

[07:36] but terminal icon quick lanunch does not do it [07:36] nvm ignore that question rofl [07:36] shmup: if you have never installed anything else in wine.

[07:37] flyguy: i think 'bash -l' is a login shell. thats the differance. [07:38] flyguy: many terminal apps take a '--login-shell' or '-l' option i recall to do the same thing.

[07:44] i swear it wont work :( [07:44] shmup: the chmod thing is a 'security feature' of nautilus/wine launcher.

[07:44] shmup: i do it all the time via the command line.. never had issues [07:44] all right. trying again! [07:45] shmup: whats stopping uyou from chmoding it then? is it on a NTFS partition? or a cd/dvd? [07:45] NTFS [07:45] shmup: then you CANT jus 'chmod' it. :) You would need to mount the ntfs with the proper options/settings to have everything on the filesystem 'excutable' [07:45] does any one know how to remove hard block for wireless cards ?

IF the directories exist. [08:04] Nach0z, i believe it is Monospace [08:04] I have a question... [08:04] Nach0z, thats the font name [08:04] sfilter [08:04] Nach0z: gnome-terminal? right click, properties and see the font-name [08:04] after spending HOURS configuring ubuntu to get everything working just right... is there a way you can "save" your hardware profiles??? [08:05] krunal: hardware-profiles? [08:05] krunal: Hadware progiles? [08:05] Dr_Willis, sudo mount -a didn't give any output in terminal : [08:05] Profiles, even. [08:05] iceroot, incase you have to reinstall ubuntu [08:05] tas: What are you looking for. [08:05] krunal: on every start the hardware will be detected again, there is no profile [08:05] tas: that not supriseing.. check with the 'mount' command and the contents of the /media/ directories now [08:05] krunal: you can make a copy of your .configure file on /usr/src/linux [08:05] i'm sorry for the wrong terminology [08:05] astropirate i've been told that "monospace" is only the font family, and that linux picks out the default font from that family to use when "monospace" is defined. that's why I was asking lol [08:06] krunal: a copy of kernel image [08:06] Dr_Willis, directories are there in media folder [08:06] all the drivers i have got to work - can i somehow backup ? [08:06] senbonsakura, is that a good idea? [08:06] tas: and.. whats IN them>? [08:06] Nach0z, lol sounds like you know more about it then i do :p [08:06] krunal: yeah [08:06] my wine has no sound! i have been playing around with the audio drivers and none of them seem to work.. I tried uninstalling it and installing it again and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? [08:06] Nach0z, I believe it's usually DejaVu Sans Mono but I'm not sure [08:06] senbonsakura, how do u do that? [08:06] krunal, if you can get things mounted properly you can "dd if=/dev/sda? of=/dev/sdb?/system_image.iso [08:06] Dr_Willis, oh, the stuff that my respective directories have :D!! [08:06] krunal: all hardware configuration is on the kernel and modules [08:06] thanks raskol [08:07] Hi. Does anyone recognize and remember what the fix is for the error/problem with slapd here -> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294143/ ? [08:07] astropirate: 'uninstalling and reinstalling' is windows thinking. rarely fixes things in linux. [08:07] krunal: for the drivers you can rebuild the initrd and put the drivers in it [08:07] Dr_Willis, i removed all of the configuration files as well, lol and your prolly right that is a terrible windows mentality [08:07] Dr_Willis but theres an extra WindowsXP mountpoint that is empty, how to delete it? [08:08] tas: via the 'rm' command [08:08] !cli | tas [08:08] tas: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[08:08] tas, it will be mounted to the directory when you restart or manually mount it after changing fstab [08:08] Do anyone know if its possible to make somesort of undelete on a ZFS filesystem? (maybe a howto on this) [08:09] nice... [08:09] hi [08:09] and if you _do_ need to delete a directory I believe you still need the rmdir [08:09] to rmdir* [08:09] how do I make my 10.10 look like MacOs ? [08:09] Dr_Willis, raskol ubottu Thankyou everyone :D [08:09] i always rm -rf :) [08:09] krunal: the initrd contains the needed kernel-moduls bevor udev comes up, so putting the moduls (e.g. nvidia in it) then you have a initrd for your system, the problem is, that the initrd can getting very big and only containg modules for your current hardware [08:09] very very dangerous dr willis [08:09] not if i use the proper path. [08:09] and i always cd to the proper location first. [08:09] raskol: it suppose that you know what you are doing [08:09] barberan: sadly, its looking like macos already [08:10] iceroot, ah very nice - so how would I do this?

[08:10] raskol: for example not do rm -rf / [08:10] raskol: I did it once to see what it happens [08:10] I never use the 'full' path when using rm -rf. so i never have a / at the start.. [08:10] senbonsakura: that command is doing nothing [08:10] senbonsakura: hahaha [08:10] hello, I started live 10.10 cd, and the only thing displayed after booting is black and white rectangles - like graphics not initialized properly... I use it on laptop with screen 1680x1050 ...is there way how to fix this?thanks [08:10] brokendatapoint: it's true I like to experiment [08:11] XD [08:11] Pe3k: and your video chipset is what? You m ay want to try the 'nomodeset' option in the startup/grub menus. [08:11] Pe3k, boot option "nomodeset"? [08:11] iceroot: do it with the root permission [08:11] the danger is in thinking you're in /home/me/stuff/backup when really you're in /home/me/stuff/projecti'mworkingon [08:11] senbonsakura: me too, accidentally did that years ago, really does work... [08:11] senbonsakura: try it, bash is saying that you cant remove / [08:11] iceroot: I ran it for myself nobody told me [08:11] very clever iceroot [08:11] how do I change the VNC server password from the command line?

[08:16] raskol: Well, opening up a file whose first line is "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" doesn't give me a lot of confidence. [08:17] hi [08:17] sfears: Well, if it says that it gets its information automatically from another file, can't I just edit that other file instead? [08:18] i never took the time to figure out how the 20_grub files work [08:18] Yerushalmi: read up on the grub2 wiki/factiod/docs and do it the proper way [08:18] i never took the time to figure out how the 20_grub files work Yerushalmi, if you edit that file all edits will be erased on your next grub update, that's why it says not to edit [08:18] senbonsakura: hm cant change my shell-output to english but "sudo rm -rf / is telling me rm: Es ist gefährlich, rekursiv auf „/“ zu arbeiten. rm: Benutzen Sie --no-preserve-root, um diese Sicherheitsmaßnahme zu umgehen.. which means i have to use --no-prevers-root also because the bash is protecting me running rm -rf / [08:18] Yerushalmi: edit /etc/default/grub and rerun 'sudo update-grub' its that simple. [08:18] Yerushalmi, edit /etc/default/grub [08:18] okay good [08:19] Yerushalmi: theres no real good reason to edit grub.cfg [08:19] sfears: If you try to install gentoo someday you will learn to sing the grub song [08:19] unless you want semipermanent edits [08:19] iceroot: It's a security feature!

[08:32] tas, that's for a specific processor, what is your processor? [08:32] tas: why do you not want to use the one in the package manager? [08:32] Dr_Willis, its 3.0.5 I think, and I want the new one, PLUS, I want to KNOW how to install the packages... like we do in windows. [08:32] Dr_Willis: Im installing the Jdk [08:33] tas: how to install packages.. you should use the package manaer and reposuitories - whenever you can. [08:33] tas.. you need to find .deb packages, that's more like windows [08:33] tas: using programs/downloads from web sites is not commonplace in linux. [08:33] Dr_Willis ok.. [08:33] tas, the package manager is to help prevent problems. It's much cleaner and simpler. [08:33] A_New_Server, ok ^_^ [08:34] Theer are PPA repositories of newer firefox versions out there. [08:34] ok, tell me how to get beta repos? please? ^^ [08:34] tas, I don't like the software center that much because it doesn't always have updated software, BUT I believe if you download Firefox from it, you can still search for updates [08:34] tas, (from Firefox, of course) [08:34] How? | A_New_Server [08:34] A_New_Server: no [08:34] A_New_Server: you most try chromium [08:35] Lmao [08:35] A_New_Server: is fantastique [08:35] senbonsakura, I already am using chromium, but thats now how you help. lol [08:35] senbonsakura, I thought Chromium was an OS o.O [08:35] !info firefox [08:35] firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [08:49] i boot up and it says ubuntu had a panel error do iwant to delete it...i did delete it, whatever it is supposed to be i dont know, so i keep going and it seems to run fine but my wirele signal indicator has vanished?

I dont use svn. [08:50] iceroot, thanks :) [08:50] so now i have no wireless signal indicator [08:50] benji123: apt-cache search :) [08:50] tas: that is yet ANOTHER reason you dont 'download stuff from web sites' and use the versions in the package manager... [08:51] tas: If it were a fake they would try to make it look exactly like the real thing, not change something as noticeable as the name for no reason :) [08:51] iceroot, you re right, I searched subversion and not svn [08:51] ubuXubu: re-add the wireless indicator applet. or reset the panels (overkill) [08:51] !reset-panel [08:51] !resetpanel [08:51] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [08:51] can i get it back or thank u Dr_Willis [08:51] Jordan_U, snap. fools gold xDD [08:51] hi i have ubuntu installed inside windows(using ubuntu's inbuilt option to install it inside windows)now some file went missing so my system directly boots me into windows without asking in which os i have to boot but not i cant boot into ubuntu and cant even uninstall it here is the screenshot of the error http://i56.tinypic.com/dv09g.jpg and here are the error logs http://pastebin.com/mpcTWV5e. thanks [08:52] Dr_Willis, ty ty, I will avoid stuff from website from now on :D [08:52] hi i have ubuntu installed inside windows(using ubuntu's inbuilt option to install it inside windows)now some file went missing so my system directly boots me into windows without asking in which os i have to boot but not i cant boot into ubuntu and cant even uninstall it here is the screenshot of the error http://i56.tinypic.com/dv09g.jpg and here are the error logs http://pastebin.com/mpcTWV5e. thanks [08:52] but now^ [08:52] tas, i don't think so, if you use nightly or some such ppa, you will note it doesnt use neither icon nor name, but it is Firefox; there is a policy of theirs regarding the use of name/logo so unofficial compiles can't have them [08:52] Hello, I can't connect to my wifi right now and I was wondering if the router firmware would have anything to do with it at all?

[09:33] Do i realy need to recompile the kernel for this? CONFIG_PM_ADVANVCED_DEBUG [09:33] Milossh, usually no, might depend on your sound card config [09:33] Jordan_U, so, after typed "boot".. shows me no loaded kernel [09:33] I mean, it definitely can be detected, as windows does it. I'm just not sure if ubuntu can too [09:33] it's integrated onto motherboard. not sure which one is it [09:33] Silicone: After running "root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader +1"? [09:34] Silicone: You need to run "root='(hd1,msdos1)'" first, then run "boot". [09:34] *root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader+1 [09:34] i would personally hate that sort of auto muting, must be a feature of your onboard sound, which might, or might not be supported [09:34] I appended commit=60 to my root partition, but something still appends commit=0 after [09:34] any ideas what? ubuntu 10.10 desktop [09:34] Jordan_U, yep, i did so..... "root='(hd1,msdos1)'; chainloader +1" - enter- then "boot" [09:35] Jordan_U, maybe i sould do it without ""??? [09:35] Silicone: Was there any error message from the first command(s)? [09:35] Artemis3: Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website. [09:35] Silicone: Yes, you need to type just what's inside the quotation marks. [09:35] that's what Gigabyte say to me :) [09:36] how to disable cups start on boot? sysv-rc-conf shows that it is off, but it start every time when i boot [09:36] Milossh, not a good idea, try the mixer, it usually comes with all sort os knobs and thingies [09:36] Jordan_U, sorry :( will try again, a'm new to linux... brb [09:36] WilliamHerry: rename the script in /etc/init/ that starts it perhaps. [09:36] Silicone: np :) [09:37] Can someone help me with a libimobiledevice problem? [09:37] Artemis3: default mixer on maverick isn't giving me any options, at least not the ones similiar to what I need [09:37] hey cemc are you using noatime? just saying ^^ === aybabtu is now known as Guest59812 [09:37] Dr_Willis: Thanks for the help. I couldn't get the menu to disappear entirely because having a second operating system on another drive apparently disables the hidden-menu countdown unless you make extensive other changes I didn't understand, but I did shorten the menu timer to 3 seconds, which is good enough for me. [09:37] my default runlevel is 2, and there are only K80cups exist, why it still start, [09:37] I try to sync my music from Rhythmbox but they all come up "blank" [09:38] Artemis3: yes [09:38] only k80cups link in /etc/rc2.d [09:38] Dr_Willis: I could've eliminated it entirely, but then I wouldn't have the ability to pick another kernel i.c.e. right? :) [09:38] !upsstart | WilliamHerry [09:38] !upstart | WilliamHerry [09:38] WilliamHerry: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [09:39] Jordan_U, ok, now it shows BootMGR is missing [09:39] Do anyone know IDM equivalent download manager for ubuntu ? [09:39] Yerushalmi: you hide it.. its not eliminated.. [09:39] i would normally try alsamixer, which is not exactly user friendly, there was another gui one but forgot the name... [09:40] Yerushalmi: but oh noes..now your boot time is 3 sec longer. >:) [09:40] Jordan_U, after i run commands you gave me... [09:40] Dr_Willis: According to the documentation to which you linked me, there are two timers available, one without the menu, one with. The one without the menu allows you to press keys to bring up the menu. [09:40] hi there, i just installed LAMP and removed XAMPP. however when i type mysql it is still calling the mysql in the xampp (because it was complaining abt non existent dir /opt/lampp/bin/mysql) [09:41] ls [09:41] what shd i do to ensure mysql command is calling the one from LAMP and not from xampp [09:41] Yerushalmi, that key is just shift [09:41] hello, i have problems with pidgin and connecting to msn is this a common problem atm?

[09:42] Anyone there to tell me about my problem :S [09:42] i'm not comfortable with recompiling the kernel myself, maybem will occur :( [09:43] Thanks for the help :) [09:43] llutz: what file is that? i dun ve it i think [09:43] Zeu5: if "which mysql" gives you /usr/bin/mysql then you already call the right one [09:43] but when i just type mysql, it complains abt the missing directory for /opt/lampp/bin/mysql [09:44] hello everyone i have a problem when i work with any version of openerp the addons path read from one path is [2010-11-21 10:48:03,637][?] INFO:server:addons_path - /home/safa-y/Desktop/openerp-server-5.0.10/bin/addons please someone help me === ElNota is now known as DMT [09:44] Jordan_U, are you here?

[09:46] Zeu5: your mysqld doesn't run or is misconfigured [09:46] Artemis3: Around 120 people. But it worked as a charm yesterday afternoon. It started to crash yesterday late evening and now it keeps on crashing [09:46] llutz: what do i do to correct this? [09:46] are you sure its not the msn cert thing? [09:46] Jordan_U, in boot device priority? [09:47] Zeu5: check your mysqld-config [09:47] I've tried using other chat-clients and they all work fine [09:47] Silicone: Yes, or by selecting it in the one time boot menu (if your BIOS has such an option). [09:47] Jordan_U, i'll try and report back ;) [09:47] which Pidgin version? [09:47] llutz: sorry i am not tat familiar with this. where can i find this file? mysqld-config [09:47] I can not get accustomed to "vi". Oh God.. [09:48] barberan: Try running "vimtutor". [09:48] barberan: its worth learning... just ease into it. [09:48] Zeu5: /etc/mysql.... i guess. why do you run a server environment if you don't even know how to configure it?

I've tried deleting it's config and setting an account again [09:50] and it DID work until I added my buddies [09:50] TurekPolski, you could try this ppa to upgrade to 2.7.5 and see if it helps https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa/ [09:50] Artemis3: Ok. Trying it right now [09:51] rdw200169, thx [09:51] anyone know how to customize the 10.10 panel? [09:51] how to repeat the same command in shell script 1000 times? [09:52] gdb_: it depends on what you want to do [09:52] gdb, right click on it? [09:52] simply change the time to 24 hour time [09:52] lol [09:52] didn't [09:52] didn't work [09:53] gdb_, its right click, preferences [09:53] gdb_: i rught click on the clock -> clock preferances.. 12 hr format, or 24 hr format.. works here.

[09:54] :) [09:54] I dont use the netbook. so no idea how locked down they got it. [09:54] Dr_Willis: gdb_ depends on what clock is used... the new ubuntu indicator applet doesn't provide 24 hour clock; but, if you add the 'Clock' applet after right clicking on the panel, *THAT* clock offers 24 hr [09:55] Hmm.. Im using the normal default clock here on 10.10 desktop and it has the 12/24 hr feature. its not in the indicator applet. but my panels are 'default' as far as i know. [09:55] wow that sux I will just install desktop then... sounds more like an apple version on ubuntu [09:55] rzx237: for i in {1..1000}; do command; done [09:55] Dr_Willis: are you *sure* you're /home wasn't saved from an older version ov ubuntu? [09:56] its just a clock ;) [09:56] Hi all! How should i install openJDK 32bit on a 64bit linux? [09:56] gdb_: you don't need to install anything, the clock is there, just right click on the panel and 'Add to panel...' and pick Clock [09:56] gdb_: right click the *new* one and pick 24 hour time [09:57] * Daghdha sighs [09:57] right clicking on the panel does nothing [09:57] Jordan_U: thx, it works! [09:57] Jordan_U: so, i'm now from windows, helped only to boot from recovery disk ....and repair windos...bu the same as was.. appears first windows bootmanager than ubuntu if i select ubuntu [09:57] Why does xchat gnome gui auto connects here? :( [09:57] you can switch to regular gnome without reinstalling you know ;) [09:57] Jordan_U: now I would do it 1000000000000000000000000000 times [09:57] Jordan_U: anyway, big thanks for time spent for me ;) cheers [09:58] gdb_: 'right clicking on the panel does nothing'. strange. well, then i can't help you [09:58] rdw200169, unity...

[10:48] TheHypnotist, it joined the iec. but its not responding . what to do? [10:48] is anyone aware of problems using 10.10 with nvidia cards? I have a fresh install on a amd64 system with an nvidia card, gets through grub then the display cuts out and it just sits there [10:49] also i m unable to join undernet network how to join it? [10:49] there's no bootsplash, no x11, control-alt-f1 doesn't pull up a vty.. [10:49] AbhiJit, , probably a silly question, do you still have to /msg the eggdrop to get it to recognise you? [10:49] Arc: use the nomodeset option. [10:50] Arc: i have to use that on all my nvidia systems. untill i get the nvidia drivers installed. [10:50] TheHypnotist, yes [10:50] TheHypnotist, i can /msg him but then he is not responding at all [10:50] Dr_Willis: how do i use that option? [10:50] Arc: at the boot screen theres like a man icon at bittom. hit a key. its under the other options, F6 I think [10:51] how i restart google chrome ? [10:52] Dr_Willis: i dont actually get that screen, grub doesnt even give me a menu before it goes in [10:52] AbhiJit, i dont really know, i thought maybe i might remember something useful, but i can't. sorry [10:52] TheHypnotist, ok np [10:52] Arc: I think its only avail for a few moments after grub vanishes.. or you could edit the grub boot line and append 'nomodeset' to the end. [10:53] Arc: on the Install disk - theres the man/settings/f6 - if the system is installed - you need to add uit to the boot/grub options [10:53] Hello internet people. I am about to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. How should I start? Do I partition with Windows 7? [10:53] i would install windows 7 first on one partition [10:53] ok so "nomodeset" no -- in front of it [10:53] Arc: i 'cheated' and made a usb flash drive installer with a persistatn save that i installed the nvidia drivers on. :) that way i dont need the options. Or i have also made a usb flash installer that had the nomodeset as the default in the syslinux.cfg files [10:53] then ubuntu on the next one [10:54] Beefcakes, 1st install 7 then ubuntu [10:54] 'quiet splash nomodeset' I think... [10:54] Arc: so Ubuntu Is installed? or are you booting from a live cd? [10:54] Official message from freenode staff at (2010 - 11 - 21) >> HI.

USE '/join #freenode' AND AFTER THAT '!keep . REPLY FROM NICKSERV CAN TAKE A WHILE, JUST WAIT IN CHANNEL. THANKS! [10:54] Zabadda: You have to run sudo update-grub in a terminal [10:54] Just wondering, do I partition with Windows 7? Considering Windows 7 makes a 100MB partition of its own. [10:55] windows7's 100mb partition is like a /boot/ partition. I think windows 7 dosent need that.. its more of a failsafe/recovery feature [10:55] Is there a way to set up a mutual filesystem for both Ubuntu and Windows 7? I want to be sharing files. Right now I have a C and D on Windows 7, I have all my user files in D obviously. [10:55] hi there, need help again. my virtual box stopped working either after update or installing PAE kernel to see 4GB ram. now I get error rc=-1908 "kernel driver not installed". tried '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' but now geting error 388 cannot create /var/log/vbox-install.log permision denied. any ideas [10:56] anyone knowledgable about vpn and the shrew soft client around? [10:56] Beefcakes: linux can read/write ntfs just fine. so even if you moved everything from D: to C: - linux can get to them [10:56] Beefcakes: or resize D: smaller. and install linux on the hd after D: [10:57] Dr_Willis: i already installed using the alt cd [10:57] i installed the shrew soft client and can connect fine, but cant ping any machine in the vpn. after some searching i found http://lists.shrew.net/pipermail/vpn-help/2008-November/000950.html and configured all rp_filter entries to 0 but i still cant reach any machine. [10:57] Good morning. Can anyone tell me how to change the font size in tty1? [10:58] any help or doc recommendation would be appreciated [10:58] Dr_Willis: ok it booted, but X won't start [10:58] Dr_Willis: What would be an ideal structure? Right now I have two drives on RAID I'm planning to have three partitions: 1 for Windows, 2 for Ubuntu and 3 for all my files. [10:59] Would it be best if I just had Windows and Ubuntu as my partitions or can the design accomodate a third partition just fine? [11:00] hello [11:00] Hi everyone [11:01] If I made a copy of a cd with the command line "dd" will it say to me if it encounter a bad sector or will it copy it and don't say a thing ? [11:01] Dr_Willis: that is to say it booted to a text prompt, flashed several times, then gave up [11:02] in rescue mode is it possible to install teh proprietary nvidia drivers? [11:03] ciao a tutti [11:03] ciao [11:04] hello [11:04] oh now it works... strange === evanation is now known as evanation-afk [11:04] Arc: if you can edit the grub menus use the 'text' option. (replace splash quite with 'text') that will boot to the console. THEN you can edit /etc/default/grub and add the nomodeset option as a default. and/or install teh nvidia drivers. (nvidia-current) i think is the packag name [11:04] Arc: ive done it both ways :) [11:05] Arc: the recovery mode option at grub by default should let you get to the console also i thought. but ive rarely used it. [11:06] I did a 'alternative/text based install' then had to use the 'text' option, to get in and set nomodeset, then i was able to boot to the desktop. and then installed the nvida drivers. [11:06] Dr_Willis: ok and nomodeset is not required once the nvidia drivers are installed? [11:06] !list [11:06] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » === weed_up is now known as weed [11:06] Arc: dosent seem to be. BUT if you tell the insatller cd to use nomodeset. it did (once i saw) add it to the default grub options. [11:07] Arc: which i later removed. [11:07] Dr_Willis: good to know, but im already logged in and installing nvidia-current [11:08] Arc: whats sad. is i think most of these problems.. are caused by plymouth, and that new kms feature (from what i gather from the forums) [11:09] i dont know whyt plymouth is [11:09] Dr_Willis: Would it be best if I just had Windows and Ubuntu as my partitions or can the design accomodate a third partition just fine? [11:10] Dr_Willis: nm i looked it up [11:10] Arc: its what gives the 'wonderfull very critical' (sarcasm) splash animation as the ssytem boots from grub -> plymouth -> gdm === Lynx is now known as Guest53041 [11:10] Dr_Willis: you sound like a potential gentoo user ;-) [11:10] Arc: i used gentoo for a few years.. it got annoying in other ways [11:11] well im going to let this rip, eta 3-4 hours so im going to sleep through it [11:11] Dr_Willis: thanks for the help, hopefully the proprietary drivers will solve the problem [11:12] is there any default firewalls running in ubuntu 10.10 server ed. ? [11:12] Diverdude: theres no default rules.. for the firewall that is installed by default. [11:12] Diverdude: so basically its turned 'off' === marc is now known as Guest30801 [11:13] Dr_Willis, right, and for ubuntu 10.04 desktop ed. ? [11:13] Hi, how can I get the source code from libsvn-dev ? [11:13] Diverdude: been that way for ALL releases that ive ever used [11:13] msteen [11:14] Dr_Willis: Should I partition it as Windows-Files-Ubuntu or Windows-Ubuntu-Files or should that not matteR? [11:15] Beefcakes: dosent matter. You want 2 parittins for ubuntu also. at least.. a / and a swap. and perhaps a /home === simil is now known as robot1 [11:15] Hi, I want to learn C. I'm currently using ubuntu 10.10. I did a cc -c test.c ...and the output is a.out...if I do ./a.out I get Hello World! debianus@laptopfuzzy...why? [11:15] Is there any documentation on what a /, a swap and a /home are? [11:15] Shouldn't I get the output after debianus@ laptopfuzzy? [11:15] debianus: what are you expecting? [11:16] its printing the text.. with no 'carrage return/' so you see the prompt on the same line... [11:16] debianus: hm, try cc -o test test.c [11:16] Beefcakes: well, / is the root partition, /home is the home partition, and swap is a partition that's used for swap, sort of like a pagefile [11:16] Gnea: /home = My Documents? [11:16] Beefcakes: /home is where everyone's personal data goes [11:16] / = \Windows ? [11:16] Beefcakes: it's more than that [11:16] Norrland, The same output... [11:17] no. [11:17] / = \ [11:17] there are no drive letters [11:17] Beefcakes: my suggestion.. use windows to resize D: shrink it down so you got a few dozem+GB after it thats unallocated.. and tell the ubuntu installer to use unallocated space.. no need to manually do the partions then [11:17] Okay, more importantly, does Ubuntu do this by default? [11:17] so / is everything [11:17] no, by default Ubuntu crams /home in with / [11:17] I mean, will Ubuntu automatically make these partitions? [11:17] Dr_Willis, Can you also recommend an ide for c please? to try it out? [11:17] in real usage, you won't even notice that /home is a different partition [11:18] Beefcakes: Befor booting Install cd -> (windows C:) ( data D:) (Unallocated space) [11:18] Beefcakes: it will if you tell it to [11:18] debianus: i dont code in c. so not really [11:18] !ide | debianus [11:18] debianus: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [11:18] Cool. So I'm assuming that's a best practice? Have /swap, / and /home on different partitions? [11:18] !swap | Beefcakes [11:18] Beefcakes: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [11:18] Beefcakes: swap is swap, never /swap [11:18] debianus: try g++? [11:18] Dr_Willis, Thanks so much :) [11:18] Beefcakes: then after the isntall it will look somthing like -> (C:) (D:) (Ubuntu /, swap) [11:18] Norrland, Thanks, will try it out. [11:18] Beefcakes: / denotes that it's part of a directory structure - think of a swap partition as being more efficient than a swap file, since it is :) [11:19] I recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on my computer. Sound isn't working. Can some one please help? === weed is now known as weed_up [11:19] debianus: the syntax for g++ is "g++ -o testapp source.c" [11:19] Alright... wouldn't that be a problem since you can only have 4 partitions on any HD? [11:19] Beefcakes: you can have 20 partitions if you want. [11:19] Beefcakes: you are missing somthing. :) You can have 4 PRIMARY partitions. [11:20] Beefcakes: one can be an Extended, that can hold a lot of logicals... [11:20] Oh, PRIMARY partitions, yes. [11:20] Primary partitions = OS'es go herE? [11:20] C -> primary D-> primary (extended, Ubuntu / , swap) [11:20] Beefcakes: you can have 3 primary partitions, then 1 extended partition to make (read: contain) as many logical partitions as you like. Linux doesn't care if they're primary or logical, only windows does. [11:20] Beefcakes: ubunbtu can go on logicals.. actually i think windows can now a days also [11:20] I can insta;; Ubuntu in an extended partitions? [11:20] Beefcakes: 'logicals' yes. [11:20] Beefcakes: yes. [11:20] Beefcakes: it doesn't care. [11:20] i have broke my ccsm, ' File "compizconfig.pyx", line 1082, in compizconfig.Context.__cinit__ (src/compizconfig.c:9190)' [11:20] :) [11:21] the default installer does it that way I belive. [11:21] how can i fix it [11:21] I see, this is great stuff. I never knew a world beyond Windows. [11:21] Beefcakes, for all that matters, you can have a single "primary" partition, and everything else in logical ones, even other OSes. [11:21] Artemis3: Windows in that primary partition I assume? Then I can have my D and Ubuntu in an extended->logical partition? [11:21] Beefcakes: whats annoying - is i have seen windows 7 installs allready using 4 primary partitions.. that madeit hard for me to setup linux on that box. [11:21] Beefcakes: well welcome to Linux :) [11:22] Alright.. I'm ready to do my reinstallation. Let me get this right. [11:22] Beefcakes: D: may allready be in a extended/logical. check 'sudo fdisk -l' output [11:22] 1. Partition with Windows installer, install 7 Ultimate... [11:22] make another partition for D, then install linux on the unallocated drive [11:22] Beefcakes: don't feel bad if you have to reinstall a few times, I've reinstalled *thousands* of times [11:22] of course, the last installation was about a year ago [11:22] since I'm allocating D for , can I have ubuntu in a partition as small as 50GB? Is that enough? [11:22] Beefcakes: basically yes. I dont see why yiou need a D: really. [11:23] Dr_Willis: I use D to keep files whenever I have to do a windows reinstall. [11:23] Beefcakes: 50gb is fine. I got my /home/ partiion on its own 2TB hd. [11:23] Beefcakes: yeah, 50G is fine [11:23] I recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on my computer. Sound isn't working. I have a gigabyte motherboard with an onboard via audio sound card. Can some one please help? [11:23] Beefcakes, just make sure you leave unpartitioned space and that should do. Windows doesnt have to use only primary partitions either. [11:23] How should I allocated 50GB? [11:23] i have some questions about wireless net-connection,any help? [11:23] Beefcakes: I keep mine on exteranl usb. :) in case the HD dies. [11:23] *allocate the 50GB for linux? [11:24] Beefcakes: the main reason for putting /home elsewhere is, in the event of a reinstall, you won't have to worry so much about backing up your data as it will simply be there if you have to tell the installer where /home is and it will allow you to not re-format it [11:24] How much should be on /, for swap and for /home? [11:24] hi. one question, when a laptop runs low on battery, ubuntu automagically suspends it. does it suspend-to-ram or suspend-to-disk by default? [11:24] Beefcakes: figure out the windows installer i guess. :) make partitions c: and d: and leave 50+GB unallocated at the end. [11:24] Beefcakes: sizes depens on your needs. you could just let it use defaults. [11:24] kaner, they call it Hibernate when to disk... [11:24] Beefcakes: that depends - is it a desktop or laptop? [11:24] Artemis3: mh? [11:24] Gnea: I'm using a laptop with space for three hard drives, I'm on raid 0. [11:25] Beefcakes: okay, do you like to use the hibernate/sleep features? [11:25] suspend=ram hibernate=disk [11:25] Artemis3: ah, yes. but that doesnt answer my question :) [11:25] Gnea: Hm, I don't know, but for starters, I'd like that option. My laptop is more of a desktop replacement. [11:25] does it suspend or hibernate by default on low battery? [11:25] Beefcakes: okay, then I suggest making your swap double the amount of ram [11:25] Beefcakes: if your laptop has more then 1 hd. (like mine) i just set up windows on HD#1. and linux on hd #2 [11:25] Beefcakes: so if you have 1G of ram, make swap 2G [11:25] I dont see the point in raid. :) [11:26] 2G of ram, 4G of swap [11:26] Dr_Willis: Unfortunately they're abstracted to me due to RAID 0. [11:26] kaner, you configure that in System -> Preferences [11:26] It has 8GB of ram, should I use 16GB for swap? [11:26] Beefcakes: i wouldent even use raid at all on it.. [11:26] Artemis3: yes, its more of a theoretical question. which is default? [11:26] 8G on a laptop?! [11:26] Yes, I'm on a custom built laptop [11:26] Beefcakes: yeah, 16G then [11:27] Gnea: that's not overkill at all? [11:27] is anyone else experiencing problems with libgcr after a recent update? I cannot run any program linking to libgcr anymore (like empathy) [11:27] so I'm allocating 50GB for Ubuntu... 16GB of that is in swap? [11:27] Beefcakes: Nope! you basically need to be able to take a snapshot of RAM and place it into SWAP on hibernate. there needs to be enough room to hold it. [11:27] Beefcakes: depends on your needs. If you dont want to use hibernate/suspend. you can use less. [11:27] probably [11:27] Beefcakes: how big is the HD total? [11:27] Beefcakes, use 100mb+ your physical if you want to hibernate [11:28] Here I have a wireless server,but I need to input user and password after I have connected it.But I find no place to input it.When I connected it successfully,I can't find a place such as DSL,how can I do? [11:28] Beefcakes, so 8,1 is enough [11:28] Dr_Willis: 1TB [11:28] Beefcakes: gee. thats sort of tiny for that monster of a laptop. :) [11:28] two 500GB drives, I have yet to add a third drive because the laptop is getting really hot [11:28] Beefcakes: at 1TB, you won't miss 16G :) [11:28] I got 2x500gb hds in mine. [11:28] but one is my old linux install heh. [11:28] I kinda regret buying this thing IMHO. [11:28] hehe [11:28] I never get to take it anywhere because its damn fat [11:29] Yep. Mine goes to work.. and plays movies.. 18.4 in screen. and like 15 lbs. [11:29] Beefcakes, a good idea is to split your swap in the 2 HDs, use 4,05g in one, and 4,05g in the other [11:29] Artemis3: Unfortunately, they're abstracted to me due to RAID [11:29] Beefcakes: heh, it would probably make a great field system [11:29] Beefcakes, then never mind [11:30] I could see it owning in an engineering/scientific setting [11:30] I wonder what will happen to my video card under ubuntu. [11:30] Beefcakes: what's the make? [11:30] I really dont see the point in using raid0 unless you really really need the speed.. [11:30] I need help with getting java to work [11:30] !java | micah [11:30] micah: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [11:30] Gnea: I'm using a Sager, I also have an older NP9262 machine [11:30] hi jayne :D [11:30] Gnea: www.sagernotebooks.com IIRC [11:30] i have downloaded icedtea and java but everytime i go to play runescape it stills says i need it [11:31] Silly they call these things notebooks. roffle. [11:31] Beefcakes: I've seen the Sagers, haven't actually used one yet, they look nice [11:31] Dr_Willis, In reference to getting my indicator envelope icon to reflect new mail....I reset it and no luck. [11:31] even downloaded the add ons too firefox [11:31] haha [11:31] jayne, :D [11:31] Beefcakes: yeah, we were looking at those a month ago [11:31] Beefcakes: what video card is on it? [11:31] Alright... So 50GB for Windows 7, whatever for files, 50GB for Ubuntu (16GB of that is swap, but how much is for / and /home???) [11:31] ugliefrog: reseting the panels dident bring it back. that is weird. [11:31] Beefcakes: depends on your needs.. what are you doing in linuix... [11:32] Beefcakes: oh, I'd go 30%, 70% for / and /home, respectively [11:32] 50gb for windows 7 is a bit tiny also. :) [11:32] Dr_Willis, I must be missing something simple...Ill keep diggin [11:32] Hi all. I'm having issues when trying to install 10.10 (32-bit) on a socket A-system (462) of mine (i.e. it installs but refuses to boot up). Any known ones when it comes to older hardware? [11:32] ugliefrog: make a new user. see if it works for them [11:32] my java isnt working properly, can anyone help? [11:32] micah: whats your ubuntu version? how did you install java. [11:32] Dr_Willis: Playing with it mostly. [11:32] Is there a GUI tool for configuring grub now? [11:32] micah: well, you only need one version of java installed [11:33] Beefcakes: you could just runubuntu inside virtualbox if you wanted... [11:33] Dr_Willis, hmm ill try that...i shall return with news [11:33] micah: I suggest using only sun's java at this point [11:33] im using sun java [11:33] Gnea: Dual 480Ms. WOuld ubuntu suppor tthat/ [11:33] micah: so just remove all of your java and install only sun java [11:33] micah: what does 'java -version' say? [11:33] micah: you said you installed iced tea, therefore you have more than just sun [11:33] ubuntu 10.10 maverick and i installed it through packages and on firefox add on [11:33] Beefcakes: er, is it a geforce or ati/amd? [11:33] Dr_Willis: Yeah but I don't want to run it virtually :) [11:34] runescape worked for me earlier. i was using this 'java' [11:34] ava version "1.6.0_20" [11:34] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) [11:34] Gnea: NVIDIA GeForce. They're one of the fastest cards you can get today [11:34] I did install iced tea but its not showing up and either is sun java [11:34] Beefcakes, there are 580s now... [11:34] Beefcakes: you must have deep wallets for such a laptop. [11:34] how do i uninstall everything and re install just sun java? [11:34] this /etc/grub.d stuff seems confusing, I want to add in an OS it didn't pick up on [11:34] Beefcakes: Ubuntu and Nvidia go together like pumpkin pie and whipped cream [11:34] Artemis3: *one of the fastest* [11:34] Dr_Willis: I have loving siblings. [11:35] dougztr: add the proper info th /etc/grub.d/40_custom like it would appear in the grub.cfg and it would get appeneded to the end. [11:35] how is Ubuntu doing with new integrated video of Intel Core i3/i5? [11:35] Beefcakes: Ubuntu and ATI/AMD are more like dehydrated milk and orange juice [11:35] god im sick of ubuntu i need a windows computer [11:35] i wouldn't use a 480 in a desktop, don't know about the mobile versions. the 480 can consume 300w easy, and reach 100c [11:36] hey, does someone know when empathy will be updates due to the reason of connections problems to the ICQ network? [11:36] micah: list what's installed, remove it, then just install the sun version. you can see what's all there like this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java [11:36] micah: odd.. it ran fine here. all i did i think was installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras on this new install.. that pulled in a java that worked. [11:36] Alright. I'm nearly ready to reinstall eveyrthing [11:36] lol dumb it down for me guys im new to ubuntu [11:36] But before messing with this machine I might install it on an older laptop [11:37] how do i see what all is installed and how to remove it? [11:37] micah: I just did. :) you'll need to open a terminal: applications->accessories->terminal [11:37] I have a laptop here with C2Q 2.66GHz/4GB/500GB RAID 0 [11:37] okay i enterd yoru command gnea [11:37] it gave out a reading i dont know what it means [11:37] Beefcakes: the raid may cause more issues then anything else. [11:37] Dr_Willis, yeah I saw that option. I want to remove things. I don't suppose I can disable the automagic grug.cfg system? [11:37] Dr_Willis: Really? How so? :( [11:38] if its a fake raid, you are better of disabling it [11:38] Gnea: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java [11:38] Beefcakes: ive been saying raid0 is proberly not worth it for the last 20 min... [11:38] micah: okay, dpkg -l lists every package, grep ^ii "greps" or "looks for and displays only" packages with the 'ii' or 'installed' status, and finally it's looking for anything with 'java' in it [11:38] micah: slow down, please. [11:38] Beefcakes, linux software raid is in fact a much better option than some cheap fake raid ^^ [11:38] gnea:i have 8 things with ii [11:39] ca certificates java, java- common, libaccess bridge java etc. [11:39] micah: if you type dpkg -l on it's own, then run it by piping it through grep ^ii, it will make more sense [11:39] I did [11:39] k [11:39] it shows what i have now how do i uninstall it all [11:39] !compatibility > me [11:39] so now you can see how it's formatted and which are the names of the packages [11:40] micah: Gnea heres my output of that command. (rune scape does work for me) i do NOT seem to be using the sun java --> http://pastebin.com/Zj6Ci9nZ [11:40] micah: sudo apt-get remove packagename [11:40] trying to install ubuntu amd64 version with unetbootin, but when I boot it, it says that "no live system found" on the usb.. it shows the first screen alright with 'check disk for defect' try without installing, and install ..but after that I get that msg [11:40] Dr_Willis: cool, well we'll just make sure he has icedtea then [11:40] Gnea: someone in her earlier was saying his game was sluggish with icedtea. but i dident notice it. [11:41] Gnea: my java -version output --> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) [11:41] Dr_Willis: I kicked icedtea to the curb when it wouldn't certain things I needed for school, it handles everything else just fine [11:41] Beefcakes: from the wikipedia on raid --> about raid 0 --> RAID 0 does not implement error checking, so any error is uncorrectable. More disks in the array means higher bandwidth, but greater risk of data loss. [11:42] but if icedtea works for runescape, then icedtea it is [11:42] * Gnea doesn't play runescape [11:42] :) [11:42] Gnea: i cant really see why anyne plays it... [11:42] :) [11:42] Dr_Willis: I have too much fun with matlab [11:43] Gnea: +3 nerd points [11:44] Dr_Willis: showed it to a teacher the other day that knows nothing about linux - basically had to describe that it wasn't running on my netbook, but on a school computer with 24 cpu cores and 64gigs of ram on it, but displaying the entire program across the wireless link into the classroom [11:44] Alright! I've decided that instead of installing it on this $8000 monster, I'm going to use an older laptop instead. [11:44] Dr_Willis: no lag, instant response [11:44] Beefcakes: quitter. :P [11:44] If I have 500GB to use. Whats the best way to allocate partitions? 50GB for Windows, 400GB for Files, 50GB for Ubuntu? [11:44] Beefcakes: but brand-new cutting edge stuff.. is often problamtic. [11:44] lol [11:44] Beefcakes: sure [11:45] i just set up a new ubuntu install, but when i try to boot into the new system, my machine halts after 'verifying dmi pool data' what's going on? [i'm certain that i'm booting from the right disk] [11:45] then 8GB for swap, Uhhh how much for / and home again [11:45] Beefcakes: You can always play with it in virtualbox or set up a bootable flash drive. [11:45] Beefcakes: I just follow the 30/70 rule of thumb [11:45] Beefcakes: depends on your needs.. it proberly wont matter much fio you are just playing with it. [11:45] Dr_Willis: maybe in this laptop, but the one I'm installing it on I can't really care any less :P [11:45] Gnea: I deleted the different javas except sun java and it stillw ont work === Xeross|AFK is now known as Xeross [11:45] 30 for / and 70 for /home? [11:45] !away > Xeross [11:45] Xeross, please see my private message [11:45] micah: okay, remove sun java now entirely, then install icedtea [11:45] ok [11:45] micah: i would uninstall all the javas then 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' and see if that pulls in a proper java [11:46] micah: i THINK that ubuntu-restricted-extras pulled in the java for me.. [11:46] jrib: Hmm I'll just leave the channel then as I don't need to be here anymore [11:46] ok im downloading now [11:46] * Dr_Willis sends xeross the bill. [11:46] heh [11:47] anyone know any good games for ubuntu by the way? [11:47] free games* [11:47] micah: http://www.penguspy.com/#/All/free_and_commercial/sort=1/view=1/limit=0 [11:47] micah: there are tons in the repository if you check out the 'games' section of the software center [11:48] micah: or use synaptic [11:48] Installing Windows 7 + Ubuntu.. wish me luck fellas. [11:48] ty [11:48] Wait, from Ubuntu can I install apps on an NFTS partition? [11:48] damn still says i need to install a java when i already have java installed [11:48] Beefcakes: i imasgine getting windows setup will take 100x longer then ubuntu :) [11:48] micah: there's also http://www.playdeb.net/ [11:48] Beefcakes: linux can read/write to ntfs partitions.. it dosent install TO the partitions. [11:48] hey, I'm truing to install ubuntu studio on a new computer. First it couldn't install grub. So i grabbed a new dvd just to try. Now it doesn't even boot on the dvd player... [11:48] micah: how are you trying to run runescape? [11:49] Dr_Willis: So, may I intall apps on ntfs partitions? [11:49] runescape is a browser game [11:49] oh yes [11:49] using firefox? [11:49] yeah [11:49] Beefcakes: what of it? what are you expecting? Linux to run them? or what? [11:49] but it wont work on any type of browser [11:49] still the java problem [11:49] Dr_Willis: For example, whnever I run out of space on c:, I install my Windows stuff on D: [11:49] sec, I'm trying to load it up [11:49] Beefcakes: that has nothing to do with linux... [11:50] ok [11:50] Beefcakes: linux can read/write ntfs... thats it. [11:50] Dr_Willis: Can I do the same? For example, I run out of space on my ubuntu partition, can I install stuff on D? [11:50] what do you think is best: firefox or chrome [11:50] micah: okay, I just went to the site with chrome and it loaded right up [11:50] agerlos, I think Chrome is faster. [11:50] !best | agerlos [11:50] agerlos: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:50] ok let me try chrome [11:51] now it's fetching updates [11:51] Beefcakes: linux can read/write to ntfs partitions.. it dosent install TO the partitions. [11:51] * Gnea listens to the fan on his netbook scream at him [11:51] nope still says missing plug ins on chrome [11:51] Beefcakes: you dont 'run around' the package manager system in Ubuntu that way [11:51] oh okay. that means I can't download an app and have the app install on an NTFS partition [11:51] Beefcakes: you rarely 'download an app' for ubuntu [11:51] that means I might need to allocate more GB into ubuntu [11:51] java -version [11:51] java version "1.6.0_22" [11:51] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) [11:52] Beefcakes, windows distinguishes executable files by their extensions. linux by the "executable" bit. if ntfs does not support setting this bit (which i believe is the case) you cannot execute programs on a ntfs partition. not with a double click anyway [11:52] java -version [11:52] java version "1.6.0_20" [11:52] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) [11:52] how do i download java version 1.6.0 22? [11:52] micah: what does Your 'java -version' say? [11:52] hi [11:52] runescape just crashed my browser.. :) [11:53] velko: I see, that effective means some executables in linux aren't defined by their extensions? [11:53] um what command again to see what java version ihave? [11:53] micah: what does Your 'java -version' say? [11:53] Beefcakes, none of them are [11:53] oh [11:53] its 'java -version' :) [11:53] micah: my system's a bit beefed up right now, but this is my java listing: java -version [11:53] java version "1.6.0_22" [11:53] oops [11:53] Dr_Willis: it says version 1.6.0_20 [11:53] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04) [11:53] Gnea: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:53] micah: http://pastebin.com/xeUM8TMY [11:53] sorry about that [11:53] Thanks guys, I'm on my way. [11:53] Beefcakes, linux does not care at all about extensions. in fact most executables does not have any extension at all [11:53] I'll remember 30/70. [11:54] its weird cause 20 minutes ago my java worked just fine now all the sudden it dosent [11:54] hi [11:54] Beefcakes: good luck [11:54] Can some help me ? [11:54] eslitjuh: and the issue is? [11:54] am i going to have to wipe my whole system? [11:54] !ask | eslitjuh [11:54] eslitjuh: 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. :-) [11:55] micah: what? [11:55] I need help i got world of warcraft Patch 4.0.3. how i go back to Version 4.0.0. [11:55] I just installed ubuntu along side my Windows install. And I booted into it and did the installation and updates fine. Though there was a GRUB config I had to do and it told me "if you don't know which is your boot drive, just select all of them" or some such, so I did that. [11:55] !wow | eslitjuh [11:55] eslitjuh: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [11:55] Now at boot, it just goes to "grub rescure"... [11:55] how do i delete all javas again? [11:55] eslitjuh: err.. how is that related to ubuntu support? and you proberly ant. [11:55] micah: run 'sudo synaptic' search for and remove java. is what i would do. [11:56] Oh, actually, "error: no such device: d93..." before it. Does anyone know what's going on? [11:56] Dammit. Forgot to backup a 60GB folder. :S [11:56] eslitjuh: don't know, haven't decided to waste my life away in that manner... but I'd probably uninstall and install up to the 4.0.0 [11:56] ok im a thing called synaptic package manager? [11:56] now what? [11:57] micah: one thing at a time - let's fix java, then get the games [11:57] Is there an article highlighting the performance benefits of running Ubuntu? [11:57] okay [11:57] micah: install a program called pastebinit if you haven't already, please [11:57] micah, why don't you try 'sudo apt-get autoremove java'? [11:58] downloading it now [11:58] alessandro1997: bad idea [11:58] Why? [11:58] because it might remove other important things [11:58] just downloaded pastebinit [11:58] So, sudo apt-get remove java [11:58] okay [11:58] alessandro1997: watch and learn, please [11:59] Hi all! Does anyone have problems with flash videos beiing black in firefox? An ubuntu user contacted me with this problem but on my computer everything works fine. [11:59] micah: ok, quit synaptic and in the terminal: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep java | pastebinit [11:59] ok [11:59] micah: it will give a url, please paste it here [11:59] gadeynebram, there were plenty of reports similar to that [11:59] http://pastebin.com/dXSVrrz8 [11:59] i just installed apache 2. when i open the ports.conf i cant edit anything. what could be the problem? [11:59] ok [12:00] who is the help personal here? [12:00] gadeynebram, on this channel i mean [12:00] nexus6__: why are editing it? How did you edit it? (2 questions) [12:00] brontoeee, Are there any solutions proposed? [12:00] micah: awesome. now, what is the output of this: java -version [12:00] i opened it with gedit [12:00] nexus6__: and my other question? [12:00] i want apache only to liste 127.0.xxx [12:00] gadeynebram, other than crappy acceleration in non-fullscreen mode it works for me, so i didnt bother with solutions [12:00] !sudo | nexus6__ [12:00] nexus6__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [12:00] and i dont use firefox [12:00] Gnea: output is java version 1.6.0_20 [12:01] Hey guys, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest updates installed. I'm new to 'wine' and I tried to install PHPDesigner 7. The installation completed succesfully and I can run the program.. but.. I'm not able to create a new project with the projectmanager. Has anyone experience with this issue or maybe a solution? [12:01] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.1) (6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3) [12:01] OpenJDK Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing) [12:01] that too [12:01] micah: okay, now, need you to run a few commands here... first one is: sudo updatedb [12:01] micah: this one will sit there and you will hear the HDD chug away - it's okay, it's rebuilding the index to search the filesystem [12:02] nexus6__: #httpd can probably help you with the proper way to do what you want too [12:02] Marcje, I'm not familiar with PHPDesigner in wine. But is it just not saving the project or does it show an error? [12:02] ahh understand. i just opened gedit via "sudo gedit" [12:02] Gnea:nothing happened [12:02] micah: it just returned to the prompt? [12:02] yes [12:02] micah: then it worked successfully. [12:03] anyone here knows how to install the linux version of utorrent? [12:03] micah: next command: locate java | pastebinit [12:03] well it just stayed what i typed in nothing else moved [12:03] ok [12:03] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/hrcWzYiA [12:03] Hi, How can i upgrade/Convert my Ubuntu maverick to Ubuntu Ulitimate Edition 2.8, I have Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.8 DVD? [12:03] micah: right, it's not supposed to have any output when it runs without any errors and completes like it should [12:03] ok [12:03] micah: many commands are like that :) [12:03] Ah, it's a wubi/grub issue that I'm having, I guess. I found a tutorial to fix it here (if anyone is bothered) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 [12:03] jrib, how can i open the file explorer via sudo? [12:04] It just won't start, or open.. the project manager that is. I am able to create new files though, but not a new project [12:04] oh haha i always expect a long list of all its doing [12:04] nexus6__, sudo nautilus. [12:04] agerlos: Ubuntu has transmission installed by deafult. [12:04] thank you [12:04] is there a way to use aptitude to upgrade the kernel to a version not yet dispatched by the universe team [12:04] i dont want to compile my kernel just to run +1 [12:04] micah: okay, it looks like you downloaded java from sun.com at some point, right? [12:04] im not sure haha i tried alot of downloads [12:04] but yes i think so [12:05] agerlos: but if you have heard of Vuze, there is a official linux version for that as well [12:05] marcje, for many programs a rather simple solution is setting the runlevel of wine to Windows XP... Maybe this would help [12:05] Ah, actually, that's not so helpful for me. It needs me to have access to terminal, but I don't... [12:05] Hello All. I'm having a hard time getting Pidgin to work with IRC. Tried irc.freenode.net, irc.ubuntu.com and chat.freenode.net .. all fail .. help? [12:05] I only have this "grub rescue" thing. :/ [12:05] micah: okay, then what's happened is you've mixed non-ubuntu software with ubuntu software. that is, java straight from the website with java packaged specifically for ubuntu. this causes problems because the system is freaking out because it doesn't know where certain things are at. [12:05] irc://irc.freenode.net#ubuntu-de [12:05] Hi, How can i upgrade/Convert my Ubuntu maverick to Ubuntu Ulitimate Edition 2.8, I have Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.8 DVD? [12:06] ohhh i get it [12:06] micah: therefore, you'll need to remove the java that's currently installed. [12:06] !ultimate | sarthor [12:06] sarthor: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [12:06] okay how do i do that? [12:06] I dont know where to find anything ive downloaded [12:06] micah: one moment, I'm determining that.... [12:06] ok [12:06] micah: check in "Downloads" [12:06] or /home/username/Downloads [12:07] hello [12:07] =) [12:07] erUSUL, is there any security problem to use that kind of Ubuntu, ? Can we trust to use that Edition? [12:07] that doesn't seem to work either.. it was already in WinXp mode, tried setting it to other versions of windows too [12:07] yeah they were in downloads i deleted the fiels [12:07] files* [12:08] sarthor: i dunno; never used it. you will have to ask in its channel/mailing lists [12:08] Hmm. Maybe I have a livecd around. [12:08] I've also found this post... It is for phpdesigner 2008 but maybe it could work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=855373 [12:08] lol, i just searched for info about embedding evince in firefox and one of the results was a launchpad blueprint i'd forgotten i'd registered 4 years ago [12:08] Hi all [12:08] hi [12:08] hi [12:08] Is there a way to run a legacy nVidia card and a newer supported nVidia card? I would like to get three monitors working (2 X sessions) [12:08] good morning all [12:08] good night [12:08] lol [12:08] micah: right, but they were installed on the system - those are the files that need to be removed, but they need to be removed carefully so that other files that are important to the system don't get removed [12:09] okay [12:09] micah: removing from the Downloads/ folder doesn't mean they're uninstalled :) [12:09] oh dang haha [12:09] fail [12:09] it's sort of like Windows [12:09] Hi all. I am testing logrotate and need to create a file will a cdate older than today. How? [12:09] Have someone room for BackTrack? [12:09] zim: use "touch" [12:09] you can remove something from C:\Program Files\something, but the registry still thinks it's installed [12:09] !backtrack | Nephster [12:09] Nephster: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[12:10] Thank very much. [12:10] Thanks. [12:10] Dr_Willis: thank you .. I remember we spoke the other night (it's night here) . I got it all working back a few years ago via manually creating my xorg.conf file .. I'll play with it over the holiday.

[12:17] zim: I don't know how to change ctime, use a test system would be my suggestion [12:17] zim, so your only option is to test on another machine [12:17] micah: awesome. yes, do it like this now: sudo rm -rf /etc/java-6-openjdk/ /etc/java-6-sun/ /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javaws /etc/alternatives/java* [12:18] When my RAID is broken will that be reflected in /proc/mdstat ?

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [12:49] lol sweet [12:49] what does this command do exactly? mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/media ; when i try to mount using gui it didn't work but when i used that command it worked? why is that? [12:49] is new patch in ubuntu now? [12:50] yes i know,thank you [12:50] Gnea:how do i uninstall these extra plug in'? [12:50] micah: find . -name "*java*" | pastebinit [12:50] for running a server for irc ftp and a website is 32bit or 64bit better? [12:50] Gnea:http://pastebin.com/cATWMFhg [12:51] karlo94: patch? [12:51] Hi. Networking don't work in KDE 4.5 on my Ubuntu 10.10. What can I do? [12:51] what does this command do exactly? mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/media ; when i try to mount using gui it didn't work but when i used that command it worked? why is that? [12:51] Gnea, maybe I typed it wrong ^^ [12:51] micah: okay, locate java | grep plugin | pastebinit [12:51] s0126h, a guess - it's a partition on a fixed drive that you didn't have the permissions to mount it [12:51] karlo94: perhaps :) try again [12:52] annihilator: does depend on how much RAM the machine has [12:52] http://pastebin.com/8yYVKp1h [12:52] !fstab | s0126h [12:52] s0126h: 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 [12:52] s0126h, as for what it does, it mounts the device /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/media and places the journal on /dev/sdb4 [12:52] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/8yYVKp1h [12:52] my theme is not always loading on boot, sometimes i have black panels, sometimes white, why is that? [12:52] !resetpanels >OerHeks [12:52] OerHeks, please see my private message [12:53] Gnea, no.. I typed it write.. it's patch :D [12:53] s0126h: probably the automatic mounter does not knw how to set extended options like rtdev= [12:53] micah: cat /home/micah/.icedteaplugin/java.stderr | pastebinit [12:53] karlo94: but it doesn't make any sense - what patch? [12:53] Gnea:http://pastebin.com/5bV1brsW [12:53] the newest [12:53] karlo94: of what?! [12:54] Syburg: i have 2gb ram i am currently running 64bit through wubi but i am wanting to install 10.10 on a seperate partion now but i dont know how kubuntu will react [12:54] why the vmware can't work at xen kernel [12:54] annihilator:you can install ubuntu and kubuntu side by side just fine === oracle is now known as kish [12:54] micah no i have windows [12:54] just choose the option when you install the live disc [12:54] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix. can anyone tell me how to connect to a windows share? [12:55] Gnea, they made new patch for all linux based OS.. whit that patch they fixed many bugs and else.. now every linux OS is much faster whit that patch.. [12:55] annihilator: Install Ubuntu and kubuntu-desktop or the other way around [12:55] annihilator:you can install ubuntu alongside whatever other OS you are using [12:55] micah: and cat /home/micah/.icedteaplugin/java.stdout | pastebinit [12:55] karlo94: you mean the Linux *kernel*? [12:55] unop what exactly is journal? [12:55] Jonathan_L and micah yall aint getting it [12:55] yeah [12:55] Gnea:with that command it says you are trying to sen and empty document, exeting [12:55] i have windows i installed kubuntu through wubi [12:55] 64bit [12:55] karlo94: Talking about that tty (console) patch? [12:55] yes [12:56] annihilator:then what is the problem? [12:56] karlo94: okay, well every distribution uses different kernel patches differently, they aren't all used at the same time - that would be dumb [12:56] annihilator: What do you mean? [12:56] why the vmware can't work at xen kernel [12:56] micah: lol okay [12:56] annihilator: Do you want to "move" Kubuntu to a separate partition? [12:56] now i am going to install kubuntu on its own partition but i do not know if the 64bit version will react the same as the one through wubi or if i should downgrade to 64bit [12:56] Gnea:is that bad? [12:56] I've installed ubuntu server to a encrypted raid1 array. currently the grub menu is not shown when booting up. anyone know if it's possible to enable? or is the encryption making it impossible.. [12:56] !repeat | xttaetg [12:56] xttaetg: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [12:56] micah: it's not bad, but it's not good either [12:57] annihilator: Just install it on a separated partition [12:57] Jonathan_L, I do not know what is name of that patch ^^ but I know it's big thing [12:57] no Jonathan_L i have 10.04 installed through wubi i am install 10.10 on the partition === awesome is now known as Guest78325 [12:57] but will the 64bit work the same on aseperate partition as it does now [12:57] karlo94: The effect is biggest when you are running multithreaded console software [12:57] annihilator: Can you describe what you want to do? [12:58] micah: okay, do you have a lot of bookmarks saved in firefox? [12:58] Jonathan_L: i been saying that [12:58] Gnea: only 5 [12:58] if you read my first message you would have seen what i typed [12:58] micah: okay, well do you know how to back those up and restore them? [12:59] Gnea:its okay if i lose them i can recreate them [12:59] annihilator: not everyone has the time to hit up scrollback that far [12:59] right now its going to be a ircd and a file server [12:59] knect driver is hacked, the ubuntu is compatibile? [12:59] why the vmware can't work at xen kernel [12:59] but i may end up using it as a webserver and a ftp server in a few months [13:00] my system theme sometimes not loading, for example i have sounds deactivated "no sounds" and they sound when profile theme not loading [13:00] micah: okay, just do this then: quit the browser, then type: cd .mozilla/firefox && mkdir .backup && mv *.default .backup [13:00] also my panels sometimes load white default theme [13:00] Guest10462: Ubuntu was used for one of the first hacks [13:00] Gnea:okay it now says: micah@micah-desktop:~/.mozilla/firefox$ [13:00] or several of them :) [13:01] guys it seem that firefox 3.6.12 has bugged :D i can't change its theme, more special, i can't change it's collor no matter what theme i use it always is radiance brown [13:01] xttaetg: please wait 15 minutes before asking that again, thanks [13:01] tried to delete user.js [13:01] about ubuntu one what's the new [13:01] how can i install nviadia [13:01] what program is responsible for suspend in ubuntu standard?

[13:10] Gnea:i even restarted my computer and firefox is still saying a window is open and runescape is still freezing on my other web browsers [13:10] micah: okay, type this in terminal: killall -9 firefox-bin [13:10] then try firefox again [13:11] it said no process found and error is still coming up for firefox [13:11] ps axf | grep firefox | patsebinit [13:11] ps axf | grep firefox | pastebinit [13:11] killing firefox like that is a bit harsh .. and prone to problems [13:12] http://pastebin.com/haMdsE9X [13:12] unop_: always works for me [13:12] micah: okay, it's not running, it's fooled itself, so you'll need to remove the lockfile in your profile [13:12] Gnea, sure, and always doesn't give firefox the chance to cleanup after itself properly -- you leave all sorts of things open [13:13] Gnea:okay how do i do that? [13:13] firefox runs slower than chromium for me [13:13] "pkill firefox" never cause problems for me at least [13:13] micah: cd .mozilla/firefox/.default/ === JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett [13:13] earthling_: u r right :) [13:13] david1, for you too?

[13:20] I think chrome is slightly different than chromium [13:20] Gnea:it says cannot use because default is in use and once again to close the open browser, should i make a new profile? [13:21] Hi All, my persistent USB of 10.10 always asks me if I want to try ubuntu or install, how can I skip all that and just boot into a live usb every time?

Lots of ubuntu music players support playing individual files like this, however I'm yet to find one that allows me to queue up lots of songs to listen to like a playlist. VLC, Totem and RhythmBox aren't able to do it. Does anyone know of a player that will let me do this? [13:49] alright, I need sleep [13:51] hello everybody! [13:52] aurilliance, what? im sure all of them can do it because they relegate filesystem access to GIO & GVFS [13:52] so... i'm trying to capture some random-ass audio to sample for this track i'm working on... anyone know an app i can use for audio capture? [13:52] aurilliance: uhm, can't you just mount the network share and then use it with any player as if it were a local disk? [13:52] aurilliance, this is how i watch movies with vlc [13:52] LjL, airtonix Ill have another look... [13:52] ok [13:52] ill just download some torrent [13:53] mounting a share isent actually 'streaming' :) [13:53] 我擦，这里就没有个说汉语的？ [13:53] aurilliance, btw when you mount a smb or ssh remote filesystem it provides it as a "virtual" file system in ~/.gvfs/ [13:53] airtonix, LjL How do I "mount the network share" - any particular process?

[13:53] Sophymax: in #ubuntu-cn there are [13:54] Sophymax, in #ubuntu-cn [13:54] aurilliance, the way you have been doing is how it's done. when you do though you'll find that when you access files it's done via the ~/.gvfs/ [13:54] Sophymax, 里就 个说 语的 [13:54] aurilliance: sudo mkdir /mnt/somewhere; sudo mount //network/share /mnt/somewhere -o username=you [13:54] aurilliance: you can edit /etc/fstab to make that mounted always [13:54] !info smbfs [13:54] smbfs (source: cifs-utils): Common Internet File System utilities - compatibility package.

[14:00] * rocket16 believes Ubuntu should include Gnote as Note-Taker, rather than Tomboy, as Gnote is faster and of the same Functionality. [14:00] Dr_Willis: yeah i inst'd a few things out of the reops but they're all vid rippers, apparently [14:00] rocket16: can it sync with ubuntu one? [14:00] repos* [14:00] skx_, vlc can capture from many inputs [14:00] yes [14:00] Dr_Willis: Not yet, but I believe the support will be added soon, if its nominated as the default note-taker. [14:01] hrm [14:01] its low disk space [14:01] lemme give vlc a shot then [14:01] skx_: i imagine most of the audio editors can proberly record. [14:01] skx_, but i suppose you want to capture audiooutput from another program ? [14:01] i wanted to start the computer janitor [14:01] Dr_Willis: And it's being worked on, as per http://live.gnome.org/Gnote [14:01] I though there was a sound-recorder mini app sole where also.

[14:04] air, i dunno [14:05] nm [14:05] skx_, does pabrowse give any info ? [14:05] pulseaudio is installed [14:06] is there a programm for managing my ipod?

[14:08] to* [14:09] grabbing audio from a running application is a bit of a diffrent 'task' then just 'grabbing audio' from the mic input.. so yes. [14:09] what is amarok?

[14:13] vlc to listen to wtf* [14:13] srry... [14:13] vlc menus -> open capture device.. some /dev/XXX entry in there. [14:13] skx_, ok so what you do is install padevchooser. [14:13] ok [14:13] skx_, then fire up sound reorder [14:13] it'd be... /dev/snd? [14:14] im gonna download mac os x iso image without torrent [14:14] skx_, then run padevchooser [14:14] RootMan121, thats offtopic and illegal. take it elsewhere [14:14] skx_, let me know when you got padevchooser in the notification panel [14:15] airtonix: can i drop that into the xfce panel? [14:15] bye [14:15] skx_, it normally lives in your system tray thing [14:15] skx_: run it and i think it adds itself to the systemtray thing [14:15] air, alright it's there [14:16] skx_, then fire up the program thats providing the audio source (im using vlc in this case), and to test this setup set vlc to play something long , and leave it running [14:16] hi gutys [14:16] skx_, no left click on the padevchooser icon, and select volume control [14:16] now* [14:16] hey guyz [14:17] <`Jackie> hey.

What should I do ??? I have ubuntu 10.10 and ati radeon hd 4650.. [14:17] skx_, and with sound recorder, start recording, (you should see both sound recorder and the volume control windows showing a VU meter that moves in sync) [14:18] skx_, (if not it means we need to change the recording monitor to the output of the audio device) === vega is now known as Guest53679 [14:19] i got a problem with the current ubuntu version [14:19] copy files operation is so damn slow... [14:19] i'm new to linux... [14:19] what could it be [14:19] `Jackie: that dosent make sence.. the addational drivers - tool should download/install the drivers from the repos.. You dotn download them from the ati web page. [14:20] ati yeah good luck! === Guest53679 is now known as vega- [14:21] have to say, got windows installation previously on that computer [14:21] <`Jackie> Dr_Willis, BEFORE I installed ati driver from the website, in additional drivers wasn't any driver. It appeared only after I manually installed the driver. [14:21] skx_, http://imagebin.ca/img/lPzeBZuS.png [14:22] does it depends on the format of the partition? [14:22] airtonix: alright... so i just screwed myself so i have no audio output... [14:22] ntfs? [14:22] `Jackie: it could be the ati drivers vurrent version dont support the card. I dont use ati any more. so really cant help a lot. === vega_ is now known as vega- [14:22] shakaponk: disk copy speeds would depend on everything.. including the filesystem [14:23] <`Jackie> so anybody ??

[14:26] maybe this is a bit offtopic but what does it mean when people write something like _THIS_ [14:26] zaoul, it was an example of how vague your question was [14:26] one was for windows and the other for personal data [14:26] sascha_, emphasis ? [14:26] now i want to backup the personal data from d: to the second drive [14:26] to format this partition [14:26] sascha_, in markdown it's formattign for italics [14:26] hmm [14:27] thank you. i really read this type of more and more each day [14:27] airtonix: eh? no i haven't [14:28] I´m looking for an application with webgui that monitors network traffic... any tip? [14:28] does anyone know of a cool package/software for ubuntu? It is vague but I mean, stated another way, what are some of your favorite packages for ubuntu? [14:28] skx_, ok run sound recorder from the application menus, and start recording [14:28] Rickardo1: mrtg? [14:28] GOBBY [14:28] hey, my ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing. The screen goes black and the CAPS and SCROLL light are turning on and off and i have to hard reset my computer. It then does a disk check. Should i buy a new harddrive? or could it be related to memory? [14:28] littlejoey_z: you can find a little statistics about that in #ubuntu-bots by querying BestBot [14:29] dewyface are you sure it is not related to hibernate/sleep? [14:29] skx_, as soon as you hit the record button in sound recorder, it should show up on the "recording" tab in volume-control [14:29] littlejoey_z: not sure what you mean, one minute im using the computer and then suddenly the screen goes black and i have to restart [14:29] LjL: thanks, I will try it out [14:29] hi [14:29] dewyface: is it usually after not using the computer for a few minutes?? [14:29] airtonix: ...gotta install it... it's apparently not part of xubuntu by default [14:30] littlejoey_z: no even while im using it [14:30] dewyface, that sounds like some kind of overheating or something [14:30] skx_, oh no sound recorder of any kind ? [14:30] dougztr: only had the computer turned on for a few minutes, it can work for 10 hours or 10 minutes [14:30] well... xubuntu's kinda stripped [14:30] its a new installation, just installed some programms... nothing else changed [14:31] dewyface: I am not sure, but try ctrl+alt+f1, and then ctrl+alt+f7 when that happens, that sometimes fixes it... [14:31] dewyface, try looking through the old log files [14:31] dougztr: which log files? [14:31] littlejoey_z: thanks what do those commands do lol [14:31] dewyface, idk stuff in /var/log or something [14:32] relax, it is safe :) the first one goes to the terminal [14:32] and the second reruns X (the windows system) [14:32] i got a problem: when i do "cryptdisks_start hdd-1" it says keyfile not found, but the keyfile does exist and when i try "cryptsetup luksOpen --key-file=/root/mykeyfile /dev/sda2 hdd-1" everything works fine... how can i tell cryptdisks_start that this file exists? [14:33] in /etc/crypttab i have the same file path "/root/mykeyfile" [14:33] by the way, I have a question too, is there a way to mount the windows partition at start-up? An easy way? without having to mount that each time manually? [14:33] all i want is that ubuntu auto-mounts my crypted partition :( [14:33] I know the commands, but they require sudo [14:34] littlejoey_z: I recommend autofs [14:34] littlejoey_z addit to /etc/fstab [14:34] skx_, sudo apt-cache depends install gnome-media [14:34] skx_, woops no need for sudo with apt-cache [14:34] zaoul: and llutz: thanks I will look into thhose [14:35] airtonix: alright, bro.. got it [14:35] airtonix: it's rec'ing and showing up in pulse [14:36] skx_, you should be able to change the input next to the mute button in volume control [14:36] How do i get my files when im not logged in Ubuntu [14:36] cool zaoul: thanks for autofs, I would rather do that with a package than having to edit the configuration files manually :) [14:37] should i be able to install amd64 version with unetbootin, it just reported that no live cd found when i chose 'install ubuntu' from the menu after booting the usb [14:37] airtonix: you're my friggin hero... [14:37] airtonix: i think that worked [14:37] onla: server edition? desktop? kubuntu? ubuntu? what exactly. [14:37] skx_, hopefully you can repeat that with other sound recorders [14:37] ubuntu.com front page and clicking x64 .. so basic ubuntu 10.10 [14:38] littlejoey_z: I feel the same about my bind_dlz configuration [14:38] onla: it should work. but ther ewas some issues with unetbootin when 10.10 first came out. theres a usb-disk-maker tool on the cd iso image also. [14:38] airtonix: lemme check it out [14:38] Hi there, is there a way to access win7 share with ubuntu when WLM11 is installed ?, when it was installed, i could'nt login to my folder from ubuntu, is there a workaround ? Ty [14:38] zaoul: what is bind_dlz? [14:38] littlejoey_z: bind from sql [14:39] oh ok [14:39] Dr_Willis: i see. Maybe I check out how I can operate that [14:39] what are these i get time to time (gvim:11870): IBUS-WARNING **: Connect to unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-SDNnrqQ1H3,guid=40ca5d52688ecbbdf95a51fa000002b5 failed: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-SDNnrqQ1H3: Connection refused. [14:39] my Ubuntu dose not work there some thing with the kernal and im trying to get my home dir copied to ex hdd. but her encrypter with ecryptfs [14:40] onla theres also lili, and a several other tools that can do it. checjk pendrivelinux web site to find more [14:40] skx_, as a bonus, you can use padevchooser to pipe audio through the network to and from other machines that use pulseaudio [14:40] im in knoppix 6.2 now [14:40] i'm on win7 at the moment. I made the bootable usb disk with win version of unetbootin [14:40] Hi all! i want my gnome-terminal to open in another size. When i open it, i press ctrl+- in order to get it smaller; i want it to open just like it is after issuing ctrl+-, how do i do that? [14:40] I guess I can find some other windows app that can do it [14:41] skx_, if all your ubuntu machines have avahi running then you *should* see them pop up in the padevchooser menus [14:41] NFischer: check the 'gnome-terminal --help' command line options perhaps. [14:42] hello everyone [14:42] how do i fix: dpkg: error processing cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [14:42] Errors were encountered while processing: cxchromium_0.9.0-1_i386.deb [14:42] my Ubuntu dose not work there some thing with the kernal and im trying to get my home dir copied to ex hdd. but its encrypted with ecryptfs and im on knoppix now. I did not encrypt my home dir it was ubuntu. [14:42] Treyno: you just downloaded that .deb from some web site? [14:43] yerh [14:43] has anyone got 5 minutes for a really weird network problem? [14:43] Tryeno: you have a 64-bit OS and you want to install a x86 [14:43] Treyno: you need the 64bit version.. [14:43] !ask | alexmaco [14:43] alexmaco: 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. :-) [14:43] !ask | alexmaco [14:43] _everything_ network related works, apart from firefox [14:43] Treyno: I think you can force the install but I don't know if it is a good idea in general :) [14:43] alexmaco, confirm you don't have a proxy set in firefox [14:43] Every now and again I run into an intermittent problem with Ubuntu, where it starts accessing the harddrive, becomes unresponsive and I lose access to the desktop [14:44] If I Ctrl F1 to a console, it times out before I can log in [14:44] nah ill just find the 64bit verssion [14:44] and it's not just my half broken system, it's also on a friend's fresh install [14:44] i'll look [14:44] http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Games/AgeofEmpiresIII/ [14:44] !!

[14:44] NFischer, open terminal , view, increase [14:44] clear === Rahber1 is now known as Rahber [14:45] airtonix: nope, not that [14:45] alexmaco, terminal : dig google.com [14:45] Are there any gourpware (like net meeting) that do not need a server, they are just point to point [14:46] tieinv, no i want it to open zoomed out as if i issued ctrl+- once [14:46] NFischer, sorry view ,zoomin [14:46] airtonix: as i said, _everything_ works - dig, wget, other browsers, apt, you name it [14:46] alexmaco, tried moving the mozilla user settigns folder ? [14:47] tieinv, thx but still not what im lookin for ;) [14:47] !list [14:47] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:47] alexmaco, i mean you could remove it but just in case you want to keep settings. [14:47] airtonix: no, i didn't - i'll look, but that shouldn't be it (it also as i said happens on another fresh install) [14:48] when i do "cryptsetup luksOpen --keyfile=/root/keyfile ..." everything works, when i do "cryptdisks_start hdd-1" it says keyfile not found although i have exactly the same path (/root/keyfile) in /etc/crypttab, what could be the reason for this? why doesn't this script find my keyfile even if it exists? is there another way to auto-mount a crypted disk at boot with a key file? [14:48] oh, i got, ibus daemon was off, and it looks for im [14:49] got it! one have to start it with "gnome-terminal --zoom=0.8" thx all! [14:49] alexmaco, i assume you are using 10.10, (and i can't be sure of any maverick specific wierdness) next thing i would try if using a brand new mozilla profile is to download the firefox from the mozilla website and run the tar.gz version [14:49] NFischer: also you can set default size in profile prefs [14:49] alexmaco, unfortunately, i 'm not using maverick. [14:49] airtonix: i'm on 10.04 [14:49] alexmaco, and it's just default firefox that comes installed ? [14:50] juk, yes but that alters not fontsize + changing fontsize is different than zooming out [14:50] airtonix: oh crap - pretty imbarrasing but after the last crash it was stuck in offline mode for some reason; thanks though :) [14:51] :) [14:51] im getting this error: tony@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update [14:51] E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) [14:51] Treyno, open the file and look at the line number 54 [14:51] Treyno: check the file it mentions.. on like 54... [14:51] ok so, how does one use autofs?? I want to have all partitions mount at boot-time hmm... [14:52] littlejoey_z: why dont you just make a fstab entry for them. [14:52] Dr_Willis: ok fine, I will look that up [14:52] !mount [14:52] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [14:52] !fstab [14:52] 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 [14:52] !touch [14:52] !make [14:52] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:52] ok thanks :) [14:53] !look [14:53] Dr_Willis, autofs is like the difference between (setting all the ip and hostnames in your network for each machine in /etc/hosts) or (using avahi ) [14:53] Dr_Willis, except for storage devices [14:53] Why is my USB Hard drive getting only 1 MB/s ? [14:54] hi [14:54] hi [14:54] airtonix: i though autofs was for insedrtion of usb devices only (or other hot plug media) not for interl drives. [14:54] is there a utility to switch back and forth - netbook interface and ubuntu desktop? [14:54] airtonix: so he was a little vague on the details. :) [14:55] where can i see the state of this bug report? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/392204 [14:55] airtonix, Dr_Willis: I would also suggest the fstab if the device is internal. [14:55] I have a dual-screen setup (NV twinview) and compiz. And I have one problem: on boot the cursor boots right between the two screens instead of in the centre of the primary screen, and unless I immediately move the mouse to the left GDM appears on the secondary screen instead [14:55] line 54 is: deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/ [14:55] anyone spot the error? [14:56] Treyno: you are trying to use bt4 repos in ubuntu? [14:56] no [14:56] i dont even know what that is [14:56] Treyno: that line is incomplete.. and why is it even in there.. if you dont know what its for... [14:56] Treyno: delete it. or comment it out.. [14:57] Ok [14:59] probanso [14:59] Hello guys! [15:00] Eeek.. Empathy is such an awful IRC client. [15:00] is there a way to import xampp files into lampp ? [15:01] sascha_: what is a xampp-file? [15:01] hehe I'm lazy I used pysdm which is a gui to edit the fstab [15:01] Beefcakes: irssi? [15:01] let's give it a test [15:01] juk: I am new to Ubuntu, is that in the Software Center? [15:01] How do I find out if I'm running Gnome or KDE? I just installed Ubuntu. [15:01] Beefcakes: sudo apt-get install irssi [15:01] Beefcakes: gnome [15:02] My friend told me to be aware about installing applications because some tend to work for a specific UI? Is that correct. [15:02] iceroot, xampp is like lampp for windows. i got a database which i want to import. [15:02] sascha_: i know what xampp is but there are no xampp files, what you mean is a mysql-dump [15:02] banshee is too slow. what are some good alternatives? [15:02] Beefcakes: don't be [15:02] How do I launch a terminal? I tried alt-f2 then gksudo terminal [15:02] sascha_: and of course you can import a mysql-dump into another mysql-database [15:03] Beefcakes: alt +f2 then type gnome-terminal [15:03] hiyas all [15:03] the problem is i dont have a .sql file. only the raw database files [15:03] oh, I just typed in gksudo terminal, do I need to close something I may have started? [15:03] i already tryed to copy them into the mysql folder... but the database got no tables then [15:03] Beefcakes: Menu>Accssesories [15:04] it worked :)... it mounted what I want at boot-time :) [15:04] thanks all [15:04] There is no menu, I only see APplications, Places, System [15:04] sascha_: copy them into the correct directory, also see #mysql and always use mysqldump for that in the future [15:04] Beefcakes: use the brain [15:04] Beefcakes: gnome-terminal [15:04] Beefcakes: and dont use gksudo for calling up a terminal [15:04] Beefcakes: yours btw [15:05] iceroot, i already copy them. the problem is i see no tables in phpmyadmin. only the database itself [15:05] sascha_: have you also copied the tables? [15:05] juk: I really have no clue what where Menu>Accessories should be. Sorry! :S [15:05] yes [15:06] Beefcakes: iceroot told already [15:06] Hi is Mark Shuttleworth available? [15:06] Cool... irssi is a console IRC client. [15:07] Beefcakes: yep [15:07] i just tryed the emphaty irc client... damn this thing is ugly [15:08] Oh, irc.ubuntu.com = FreeNode? [15:08] isamu: 'freenode'; but yes [15:08] sascha_: you too :) [15:08] Hello :) [15:08] juk, :* [15:08] printf_1, he's uttounded by human filters even on irc :) [15:08] surrounded [15:09] I accidentally installed an application in /etc/ instead of /usr/, is there some way i can uninstall it from /etc? [15:09] juk, you really like the emphaty irc part? [15:09] sega just move the file to /usr/bin as long as it's executable [15:10] sascha_: desn't matter what i like, i use irssi [15:10] This is so cool. It's kinda hard to use as compared to mIRC but very geeky. [15:10] BluesKaj, Its not one file. The application has put multiple files in there [15:10] How do you call up the irssi help file? [15:11] Hello. I want to allow xdmcp on my desktop. anyone know of a good howto guide? [15:11] detrix: used to be you edited a gdm config and enabled it.. and that was aboout it.. then set up gdm to query the network for avail servers.. but with gdm2 - im not sure if theose feature sstill exist. [15:12] Dr_Willis: thats kinda what I am seeing. [15:12] Is anyone aware if the cdrecord package has become any more stable or usable in the past couple of months? I used it during the summer, and it was the most buggy thing I had ever used, be it incorrectly writing images, not writing images at all, or completely locking up the computer. I've been using cdrecord 3.0 from berilos for awhile, and I've sort of been itching to use a gui. [15:12] Dr_Willis: it was suggested to use a different wm or dm/ [15:13] Dr_Willis: but I thought someone might know how to make it work [15:13] detrix: yea. kdm may make it a lot easier.. or the good old xdm. [15:13] detrix: i had it going ages ago with GDM1 - not tried it with GDM2. i was thinking it wasent even a feature in gdm2 any more. [15:13] O hai. [15:14] detrix: with ssh, i dont even use the feature any more. :) [15:15] Dr_Willis: sorry, I do like to graphically log in. I am learning the command line, but I still like GUI === james is now known as Guest18572 [15:15] Could anyone answer my question? [15:15] tgp1994, isn't cdrecord the main app that most brurner apps in linux are built on , gui or cli ? [15:15] detrix: what sort of setup are you using that you want xdmcp anyway? [15:15] !answer | tgp1994: [15:15] all, I'm having trouble getting the nouveau driver turned off in 10.10. Does anyone have advice? I've tried everything I can find and am about to just compile a new kernel without it. [15:15] juk: I know. [15:15] cdrecord - is the old cli tool i recall. its been replaced by 'wodim' these days. [15:15] tgp1994: :) [15:16] Dr_Willis: Whoops, I think I meant wodim :\ [15:16] castlec1: i just blacklist the module. for my nvidia systems [15:16] The reason I've been trying to go to a gui is since most packages in ubuntu will depend on the wodim package, which I've found to be buggy. [15:16] tgp1994: cant say taht ive noticed any bugs with it. [15:16] Dr_Willis: Really? You've been using wodim comfortably for awhile? [15:17] tgp1994: i dont even know of any alternatives to it really.. at least not any that would be a drop in replacement. [15:17] tgp1994: i burn iso images all the time with very few issues. [15:17] dr_willis, i've tried. it's not worked. it's a diskless system. i've tried blacklisting in every way I can find [15:17] Dr_Willis: I have a local network of 4 computers. sometimes when using my laptop, I would rather use my desktops computing power. my laptop overheats with intensive computing. [15:17] hi [15:17] all [15:17] i hav some issues [15:17] Dr_Willis: Very interesting. I'll give wodim a second chance, thanks for the info :D [15:17] regarding configuring my ip address [15:17] so that i can connect to local hubs thru dc++ [15:17] detrix: You may want to check into freenx perhaps. Ive not used xdmcp that way in ages. I set up xming with xdmcp a few years back for a windows machine [15:18] Dr_Willis: You wouldn't happen to be able to recommend any gui burning programs while I'm here, would you? [15:18] tgp1994: i use k3b 99% of the time. [15:18] airtonix: thx man... everything worked out [15:18] Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm assuming that's for KDE? [15:18] dr willis [15:18] u can try brasero [15:18] Dr_Willis: thanks for the advice [15:18] slick124: You mean me? [15:18] tgp1994: kde apps run fine under gnome.. and visa versa [15:18] airtonix: one more question though.. can your recommend a good plugin pack for audacity? [15:18] Dr_Willis: Ya, but I'd need to download various kde packages depending on it, right? [15:19] oops [15:19] i dont kno [15:19] tgp1994: see jhow big a dwnload it is.. i never worry about the sizes :) [15:19] it s good if ur using gnome [15:19] Dr_Willis: Well, alright, thanks :) [15:19] gimme a second [15:19] tgp1994: i use k3b and k9copy most every day [15:19] hi all [15:19] KDE in 10.10 has gotten quite good also. its what i use on the laptop i have.

[15:26] its a lan software [15:26] slick124: you can set up static ips using the network manager tool i belive. [15:26] is a p2p network [15:26] for excchanging stuffs [15:26] it's some some ms crap [15:26] p2p right [15:26] with huge speeds [15:26] slick124: on a local lan? [15:27] yup [15:27] my service provider has given a dynamic ip address [15:27] slick124: network manager can do static ip's - or i set my router to always assign the same ip to each box., [15:27] but how to do that [15:27] slick124: on a LOCAL lan.. you are in controll of the ip#'s - the isp gives me a dynapic ip for my router/machine. [15:27] its asking dor dns [15:28] what's asking for dns? [15:28] slick124: i set my dns server to 8.8.8.8 (googles) or the ip of my router.. or set it to what the isp normally gives you dunamically [15:28] bbl [15:28] biab [15:30] I have a new device I added to my local network it there a command I can use to check which ports it has open?

[17:25] andy__: do you see /etc/ati? if so remove it [17:26] andy__: or move [17:26] andy__: brb [17:26] fred1, You can speed up web browsing on Linux http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ [17:26] Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 from scratch with a Nvidia GEFORCE 8500GS? When I select any install or try method from the CD I get blinking green characters randomly on the screen. [17:26] petan: says no such file or directory so I should be good - when I get cd /ect/ati [17:26] I did an md5sum check on the image and verified the CD after writing. [17:26] Flannel: could be, I have no idea. I don't think there are any jumpers on the satas themselves, but I've still got my motherboard documentation kicking around somewhere... [17:27] Rick_Deckard_, You can speed up Ubuntu Linux the OS too but you risk Data Corruption [17:27] dougemd, i have that card, and I installed 10.8 from scratch with no problems [17:27] Hello. Ive installed game Ultimate stunts http://www.ultimatestunts.nl/documentation/en/compile.htm a long time ago.. how to purge/remove it? [17:27] Quantum_Ion, data corruption doesnt sound good :( [17:27] i can also run a 10.10 live disk with no problems [17:27] Flannel: Thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna go do some research [17:27] Quantum_Ion: thanks [17:27] Quantum_Ion: I will try this now [17:27] I'm using the usb-creator.exe that's included with ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and it's not working properly. I select my iso image but it will not recognize it. [17:27] Hello, I am having a problem with my wifi drivers being in conflict w/my kernel. I want to try and use a newer RC kernel to see if that magically solves my problems but I really don't understand how kernels/kernel modules/kernel-headers work. Does anyone out there have an understanding of them or know a good primer tutorial out there (one you've actually read yourself)? [17:27] fred1, no problem [17:28] Kentrel, I just downloaded a fresh iso, checked the md5sum and just verified and burned the disk at the slowest speed. Fingers crossed! [17:28] fred1, increase your RAM memory, and install Google Chrome web browser and tweek your Linux settings http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/ [17:28] does anyone here know of a similar program to Burg Manager to basically beautify the grub menu? [17:28] mikeTheNewbe_: http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/mounting-lvm-disk-using-ubuntu-livecd.html walks you through the LVM steps (well, pvscan, vgscan, etc) if yu need to manually activate your storage drive (although with the IDE drive working, I think once you figure whatever else out, the rest of the drives will show up automatically) [17:28] dougemd, do you have an onboard video card as well as a GeForce, i.e. 2 videos cards. You might have to disable onboard video in the BIOS if thats the case [17:28] Quantum_Ion: 1gb is not enough? [17:29] I mean beautify as in make it as good looking as the mac boot loader [17:29] petan: seems like it's not finding the mysql db on localhost. could it be because i'm on a vps? [17:29] Quantum_Ion: It might even be 1.5 [17:29] another question. i got a NAS with linux operating system. recently the NAS "died" and i cant read the harddisk content. the disk only shows up in the drive management in ubuntu. the 2 disks ran in raid 1. any ideas? [17:29] :Flannel: Awesome, thanks [17:29] kentrel, did you use x64 or x32 distro? I'm using x64. There's no motherboard based video. [17:29] Is there just a command line utility for win32 I can use for this? [17:29] dougemd, x64 [17:30] hi, anybody here who can help with openvpn? [17:30] how do i rename workspaces using the CLI? using ubuntu 10.04 [17:30] how to purge programm witch ive installed with make and compile? [17:30] anyone? [17:31] Kentrel, just put the fresh disk in and tried selecting the disk check and I got a screen with scattered blinking old school green block charaters. [17:31] petan: got an error msg when I tried to reinstall it [17:32] Kangarooo: If you're lucky, the program has a 'make remove' or 'make uninstall'. If not, you have to manually delete all its pieces [17:32] dougemd, do you have a USB stick. Try making a USB boot disk, and see how that works [17:32] fred1, 2GB is standard nowadays [17:32] Thats how I installed. Never installed from a CD [17:32] hmmmm :) [17:33] Kentrel, thanks.....take a few minutes to dd one on my mac [17:33] fred1, 1GB ius bare minimum RAM memory [17:34] iae galera [17:34] Quantum_Ion: perhaps [17:34] so do Brasil [17:34] iae alguem ai é do brasil ? [17:35] fred1, If you tweak your Linux settings and you had more than 4GB of RAM and you were running Google Chrome web browser your computer would be superfast [17:35] andy__: can you type it [17:35] andy__: here [17:35] Kentrel, I have a bootable USB stick I made on my mac. Same 10.10 x64 distro. I did dd ... is there another command to make it bootable? [17:36] This is a test message [17:36] iae blz [17:36] #samsung-fascinate [17:36] fred1, Windows 7 requires at least 2GB - 3GB of RAM to run [17:36] quantum thats awsome [17:36] Flannel: before tryong thouse command shoud i do again ./compile ? [17:36] andy__: you mean when you install it? [17:36] Quantum_Ion: ouch... doesn't linux run on bare minumums though? [17:36] Most 64 bit systems have 4GB as standard RAM [17:36] Quatum are u serious? Have not seen Windows in the last decade [17:36] Kentrel, basically I followed all the commands on the ubuntu page for making a bootable usb key in macosx [17:36] VvdBergh, serious as a heart attack [17:37] petan: says the file is broken? [17:37] Quantum_Ion, well i for example run win7 with 1,5 gb successfull. aero is a no-go though [17:37] Every new version of Windows requires more RAM [17:37] Quantum_Ion: yes [17:37] andy__: when [17:37] next version of windows might require 6GB to start up [17:37] Ok, so then I guess since no one is going to answer I'll migrate this from help request to bug report: usb-creator.exe on the 10.10 i386 desktop iso does not seem to work under win7 [17:37] Quantum_Ion: that is not true [17:37] Quantum_Ion: I am at a real complicated part now :( [17:37] ]with the tweaking [17:37] I don't know MacOS but I use a program called UNetbootin to make all my USB drives. It might run on a Mac [17:37] it downloads - starts to install and says the file is broken [17:37] Quantum_Ion, well win7 uses around 400mb when i run it [17:38] Quantum_Ion: win 7 runs fine with less then 1 gb [17:38] Microsoft and the RAM companies are in bed with each other [17:38] * than [17:38] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [17:38] Kentrel, thanks [17:38] I can not click on details to see it. The computer does not do anything when I click it. [17:38] omg [17:38] Quantum_Ion: anyway this is OT [17:38] petan, Sure it does lol [17:38] Kangarooo: If you haven't deleted the stuff, you don't need to, but if you have, yeah, you need to configure and make again (not make install, just make) and then make uninstall [17:39] petan: here we go - (Reading database ... 187673 files and directories currently installed.)

[17:40] Quantum_Ion: there must be something not configured or something [17:40] so can ANYONE help me with an alternative grub theme? [17:40] Quantum_Ion: because its painfully slow [17:41] Quantum_Ion: and im on no proxy [17:41] james296, use burg [17:41] I tried [17:41] VvdBergh, 8GB that means your notebook is blazingly fast my laptop only has 4GB [17:41] the site is completely down [17:41] andy__: remove that folder [17:41] james296, and what happened? [17:41] so I cant run the setup after manually getting the app [17:41] fred1, How old is your laptop ? [17:42] I had it before [17:42] Quantum search on the web for Toshiba Satelite P500 1C8 [17:42] wish I could still use it [17:42] then you know what i have [17:42] but their site is now for sale [17:42] andy__: try sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh [17:42] what site [17:42] Quantum_Ion: its not a laptop [17:42] petan: Seems like that didn't work, I restarted the server with sudo service gdm restart.

[18:05] dougemd make sure usb is 1st boot in the bios [18:05] remoteCTRL2: K - but there are other general support channels that exist. It makes sense that there would not be a specific support channel for this software - as many Linux users think they still don't need to worry about even checking for viruses. Which one is the best to try? [18:05] dougemd: OSX formats differntly to windows [18:05] Nasha: There ya go then :) [18:05] Even for USB [18:05] remoteCTRL2: I mean, which general support channel would be the best to try? [18:05] drangonkeeper, double checking..... [18:05] quan are you there?? [18:06] mlmg317-himts: well if you want to try something generic that is somewhat related id give #debian a shot [18:06] Nasha, if I'm using dd then the format shouldn't matter correct? [18:06] It will because it cant read the partition table [18:06] mlmg317-himts: check with the web page for the provider of the code, they will usually have a forum, or at least an email chain you can get into. [18:06] jcs2010 [18:07] dougemd: install hfsutils [18:07] remoteCTRL2: thank you !!! [18:07] U should then be able to mount it, provided its not a journaled FS [18:07] Nasha, ohh I thought did would litterally copy bit for bit....... thanks! [18:07] greezmunkey: OK - are you talking about the Ubuntu web page? [18:07] Nope, dd isnt that low level. Its filesystem based [18:07] mlmg: Try AVG support [18:07] any of you got any instant messaging client up and running that currently works with icq? [18:08] mlmg317-himts: np [18:08] mlmg: But i would say that if your having th same problem with mutiple pieces of software, then theres an issue with your installation [18:08] mlmg317-himts: no clam, or whatever the other one you are having trouble with is. [18:08] im trying to make a bootable usb install drive, but the usb utility isnt working [18:08] Is there any documentation or a simple way to tell which version of Ubuntu matches up with the current testing and sid branches of debian? [18:09] will someone help me with this? [18:09] Or should I say stable and testing rather. [18:09] greezmunkey: OH - OK, gotcha ... good call :) Thanks! [18:09] hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it [18:09] mlmg317-himts: good luck, they will know how their code interacts with the os. [18:10] here is my ubuntuone error http://pastebin.us/1344 [18:10] does anyone know if Ubuntu Tweak helps? [18:10] i have also tried reinstalling ubuntuone [18:10] fred11, ubuntu tweak isn't officially supported, i'll tell you that much, i use it myself but just warning ya [18:10] What's going on? [18:10] sprung: If you deleted your config file, then youve lost all settings you had, and wont be able to get them back [18:11] Nasha, why can't i just get ubuntuone to run like it did the first time, asking me credentials?

Why would Ubuntu 10.4 liveCD properly boot and my 10.10 liveCD balk and show blinking green characters. Both iso passed m5sum and the cds were verified. [18:12] Quantum_Ion: [18:12] fred11, take your time :) i've been googling for the answer as well [18:13] you there?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:13] dougemd: Sounds gfx related... Dont know why 10.04 works though [18:13] Nasha, I'm guessing the newer distro and kernel in 10.10 are imporperly recognizing my video card? [18:13] Quite possibly, what is it? [18:14] Nvidia GEFORCE 5600GS [18:14] fred11, that was my original issue, that ubuntuone was slow. i read that deleting my config for the purpose of reentering it would fix the problem. that was a mistake. now i get this error and it will not sync http://pastebin.us/1344 [18:14] spring.. :( [18:14] Hmmm, pretty old card nowdays... [18:14] sprung: I am a total newb [18:14] There is an option for safe gfx mode install? [18:14] fred11: in FF disable ipv6 for a start, it will speed things up indeed. [18:14] sprung: I would help you if I knew [18:14] fred11, that's fine, somebody else will help me. [18:15] Nasha, never seemed to have a problem with this machine and Ubuntu 10.10 .... i just got two 1 TB drives in a raid config and wanted to start fresh... this new 10.10 iso I downloaded doesn't properly handle the graphics. [18:15] Ok, so youve had 10.10 installed on it before [18:15] greezmunkey: where is IPV6? [18:15] hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it. This is the error I get when I run ubuntuone-preferences http://pastebin.us/1344 i have also tried reinstalling the ubuntuone packages, it didn't help [18:15] petan: Anything? [18:16] greezmunkey: preferences?? [18:16] how many gb of ram does Ubuntu detect when 4Gb is installed with Ubuntu 32bit? [18:16] Ginbun2: less then 4gb, ~3.3gb [18:16] my sound isn't working [18:16] nor my HDMI output [18:16] my ubuntuone client is broken and i can't get it to run its user config wizard like it does when you first run it [18:16] but both were about 5 minutes ago [18:16] Nasha, yes with an older .iso from a few weeks back. (x64 by the way)....now I downloaded a new one and it doesn't give me any graphics and the livecd crashes with blinking green characters when I make a selection form the ascii based menu.

[18:55] tensorpudding, im not able to download it but i will try virtualbox [18:55] Wine can emulate IE7 iirc, but not IE8 [18:55] herro: no you would type the first command (with & at the end) then the command exit to close the terminal and it should be in the background independant of the terminal [18:55] and surely not IE9 beta [18:55] Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console?

[18:57] hello man! [18:57] Jordan_U: the extra parameter you told me was "rootwait", but I guess the problem is that cannot find the /dev/sdb6 [18:58] herro: herro depends how the game saves, kill (or sigterm) should allow it to close properly without really(as in literally) 'killing' the process [18:58] Jordan_U: so if we add this parameter, has no effect since that device is not available [18:58] birtan: make a launcher on the desktop, drag it to the panel, or add a menu item via alacarte and drag that to the panel [18:58] Jordan_U: like that something went wrong with the installation, my friend [18:58] when I want to apt-get update [18:58] Dr_Willis : i mean textbox must show on panel [18:58] it says insert CD [18:58] kill -9 sends SIGKILL, which kills the program without cleanup [18:59] wtf never had this ? [18:59] birtan: sounds like you may need to make a custome panel applet then [18:59] ardian: sounds like you have a CD in your software sources [18:59] Dr_Willis: yep how can i do that [18:59] Jordan_U, yes, it shows the corresponding free space [18:59] birtan: no idea - i dont code.

[19:06] magicianlord: im not suprised at that [19:07] magicianlord: i would think FF on linux is more secure then IE on Windows. :) due to the Underlaying OS. :P [19:08] magicianlord: It's as safe as your navigation habits, security on the system etc. Also use FF and if you can Chrome /this last brings some extra security [19:08] Also both FF and Chrome allow addons to strengthen your security [19:08] yeah [19:08] it's tough, because banking and other business sites rely on ie [19:08] That sucks I admit [19:09] though I never had problem lately, things are changing [19:09] Only sites ive seen that 'need ie' lately were badly coded sites..

[19:20] does ccsm for ubuntu have the option "corners" [19:21] Jordan_U, just before you said it does matter, i figured id put the cd i used to install 10.04 to begin with in, and tr it [19:22] vic20gmr: If it's 10.10 Desktop that makes it easier because 10.10 has a loopback.cfg: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg . If it's an Alternate install iso then you'll have problems with any version number of Ubuntu.

[19:34] jhl maybe skype [19:34] Jordan_U, ok, i kinda fig'd along those lines, thaks again [19:35] vic20gmr: You're welcome. [19:35] is their a cmd to see how much bandwith is being used? On a vps [19:35] rfmonk: Should have clarified that I'm looking for an open source solution. [19:35] what is the command for traceroute [19:35] Hello, just a quick question: im on a dual boot machine. I'm making windows 7 the default selection on grub and I want to make it boot directly, if i make timeout 0 how can I acces grub again so I can boot ubuntu? [19:36] that is included with ubuntu [19:36] i want to upgrade a single package ('musescore') on my 10.04 install to the 10.10 version without upgrading the whole system. how? [19:36] lued, I usually set my timeouts to 5s [19:36] lued just hold left shift during boot [19:36] awesome OerHeks thats what i was looking for thanks! [19:36] Jinxed I use traceroute6 at the command line [19:37] I always forget when I reboot to switch OS unless I am prompted by the grub menu [19:37] or you could just use network tools [19:41] I'm trying to do USB sniffing and a number of guides show to identify devices with "cat /proc/bus/usb", but I don't have that file on my system. Apparently, that's something that is optional when compiling the kernel...? Do I have to recompile my kernel? Or do I try mounting usbdevfs, and do it somewhere else? [19:41] nsd, try lsusb [19:41] How can I easily switch between GUI and command line? (not talking about terminal here, but a fullscreen command line modus?) [19:42] I am running ubuntu latest version, how do I install another distro which is in ISO format without burning a cd/DVD or using a USB? [19:42] Jinxed: I just discovered that tracepath can be used. [19:42] rkpisanu: ohhhhhh... so did they come up with lsusb instead of using cat on /proc files? and do those bus numbers correspond with those in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon? [19:43] Jordan_U: I'm installing from the CD, which filesystem do you recomend me ? ext2, ext3, ext4 ? [19:43] jianfei, i've never done it, but you can somehow add an ISO as a boot option to Grub. [19:43] hi guys. any good video recording apps? so that I could record from a webcam and save it into the comp.. [19:43] progre55, cheese maybe? [19:43] yxz97: ext4. [19:44] rkpisanu: and that did give me a list, thanks [19:44] JSF, or XFS, or, ReiserFS (by the way this last I remeber was used on SLackware since I remeber when I was a child, hehehehe) [19:44] Zol: you can use Ctrl+Alt+F1 for a full screen terminal and Ctrl+Alt+F7 back to gui. [19:44] vic20gmr usually (unless you have a specific need or are a developer) your fine with 'stable' (10.10) I run crossover office (wine) and hulu just fine with maverick 10.10 [19:44] Jordan_U: ext4 is new, right ? [19:44] yxz97: Relatively new, yes. [19:44] Zol, ctrl+alt+f1 (f1-f6) to get terminal, then ctrl+alt+f6-f10 to get back to GUI [19:45] ZykoticK9: thanks [19:45] nsd, you are welcome [19:45] ZykoticK9: Hmmm..I basically just wanna mount it and install it but have no media just the iso.. [19:45] jianfei, i think you'd need the Grub method - not 100% sure though. [19:46] jianfei: It depends on what the iso is exactly. Only some isos can be loop booted, they need to be designed specifically for the purpose. [19:46] jianfei, see virtualbox === gvlx_ is now known as gvlx [19:46] if all your looking for is a full screen terminal why not just f11 the terminal application? [19:46] 1544 [19:46] I have kloxo on my vps what do i type to see what port its using? [19:47] netstat what? [19:47] Jordan_U: What is loop booting? [19:47] brb [19:47] jianfei, Booting an iso that's not on a CD or or similar medium [19:47] you have to mount it on the loopback device to do so [19:48] jianfei: Booting an OS where the OS reads its root filesystem from a file on a filesystem rather than directly from the CD/USB. [19:48] ANYONE: know anything abut Wubi? [19:48] !anyone | magicjoe [19:48] magicjoe: 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? [19:48] syn-ack, (love the Nic) can you "Boot" from a loop mounted ISO though (other then using Grub?) [19:48] sorry [19:48] !wubi | magicjoe [19:48] magicjoe: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [19:49] ZykoticK9, yes. IIRC, you need GRUB2 to do so [19:49] magicjoe, Wubi is a good test "if you'd like ubuntu or not", not so good for a "real" install however. [19:50] ok, sorry, let me clarify. I have a wubi installation on an xp maching. everything was working fine, until, i just now did an update. it froze up in the middle of that. so i had to manually restart the computer. when i try to boot up now, i only have windows in grub [19:50] any way to get that back? [19:50] is it tracepath or pathtrace ? [19:51] tracepath [19:51] Jinxed: on my machine (10.04), it's called tracepath. For example: tracepath www.google.ca [19:51] Jinxed-, and if you want the IPv6 version, it's tracepath6 [19:52] Jinxed-, Not trying to sound like an ass, but that's what tab complete is for... [19:52] basically i have a folder in xp called ubuntu, and it has large files that are my ubuntu installation, but there is a folder called boot, which has a folder called grub, which is now empty. can i rebuild a "grub" file in windows through notepad, that will bring this partition back alive? [19:52] Hi guys, I want to disable the trackstick on my laptop and only keep the touchpad. I found the xinput command to do so (xinput --set-prop 10 117 0). Where do I put this in a startup script to make it permanent? [19:53] is it any way for linux people to screencast to ustream/livestream/etc? [19:53] or basically , i screwed the pooch? [19:53] esd, i know Jono Bacon uses Windows for his Ustream broadcasts. [19:54] ZykoticK9: well how about linux? :) [19:54] esd, seeing as Jono is the Ubuntu community manager i don't think you can use Ustream (not sure about livestream). Good luck man. [19:54] magicjoe: You should be able to just add this to your boot.ini (add a new line to the end of the file): c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" [19:54] esd, I would think that that comment made it fairly evident that there probably is none. [19:54] esd have you read this yet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts [19:54] magicjoe: how about login back to windows and reinstall wubi? [19:55] rfmonk: did not, will do [19:55] i used to stream to my icecast server [19:55] but icecast update fucked up everydthing [19:55] and im having trouble fixing that so looking for alternate solutions atm [19:55] !language esd [19:56] HaoRen: I am logged into windows now, but if i reinstall wubi, i will lose all my settings. i have compiz with cube and stuff [19:56] !language | esd [19:56] esd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:56] k [19:56] there is really nothing impossible on linux, just varying degrees of hair pulling [19:56] and time [19:56] rfmonk, um, I've run into a few things that really are unpossible in linux [19:56] HaoRen: what if i back up all the .disk files, to my exHD, then reinstall wubi, and replace the .disk files with the old ones? maybe safer? [19:56] like? [19:56] quickbooks [19:56] Very few, but there are some out there. [19:56] =] [19:57] like? [19:57] syn-ack, "me fail english, but that's unpossible" ;) [19:57] ;) [19:57] Well, Quickbooks is actually a decent example [19:57] How do I use my iPad Internet via Bluetooth for my laptop running 10.10? [19:57] idk, lol sorry but i just use wubi once before.. never got that kind of experience [19:57] And really, trying to get that thing running in WiNe is damned near impossible. [19:57] yes, its very hard to replicate that [19:58] i beat my head against that many times [19:58] but you can just run QB in a VM [19:58] anyone here use/recommend dropbox for ubuntu? [19:58] or use it with crossover office [19:58] wine [19:58] rfmonk, you know as well as I do, that while some Windows apps can be coaxed into running in WiNE it really is better to VM;.... NM [19:59] depending on the amount of memory and the program, but yes [20:00] HaoRen: do you think that idea would work? [20:00] My POV is this really: If you want to run Windows software, run Windows. Solves a lot of headaches. [20:00] Again, that's just me. [20:00] magicjoe: i don't know === sudipta is now known as rythbuntu [20:01] i have karmic powerpc running on my laptop, which i am typing on here now. its an ibook g4 dual boot with osx tiger [20:01] magicjoe: You should be able to just add this to your boot.ini (add a new line to the end of the file): c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" [20:01] can cocoa application framework be installed in ubuntu? [20:01] my desktop is a pentium 4 running xp with a fake wubi [20:01] alguien habla español? [20:02] !es | raulantonio [20:02] raulantonio: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:02] I have two monitors. When I click "full screen" in Flash movies on the web, the movie always fills my one screen when I'd prefer it to fill the other. Any idea how to accomplish that? [20:02] Jordan_U: so if that ini file is gone, can i create that in notepad, and add that line in? or do i need more data than that line? [20:02] rythbuntu: only obj-c compiler and openstep libs ( gnustep ) [20:03] ooookkk [20:04] i have a problem with wine,it can not execute any .exe file,pops up a message about execution bit [20:04] thank's!!! [20:04] rythbuntu: give executalbe permission to the exe file. in the file properties. permision tab. is a checkbox iirc [20:05] http://pastebin.com/1Sc1F6pe is there any way of improvin this [20:05] i have tried to do that but it just couldn't be checked [20:06] rythbuntu: what filesystem is th exe on? [20:06] I accidentally saved over a file using openoffice; is there any way I can retrieve the past one? [20:06] ntfs [20:06] Please answer if you can, this is urgent. [20:06] it worked with 10.04 [20:06] rythbuntu: it may have been mounted with the noexec file [20:06] anyone here use/recommend dropbox for ubuntu? [20:07] but 10.04 worked well [20:07] well, im going to try backing up the files in the folder created by wubi, reinstalling wubi, then replacing the default files with my old ones, and see if that revives it. but first going to try this created .ini file in the boot/grub folder and rebooting. maybe that will fix it, if none of these work, im starting from scratch [20:07] magicjoe: To edit the boot.ini, 1: Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2: On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. [20:07] rythbuntu: they may have changed the defaults ... [20:07] magicjoe: 3: Under System Startup, click Edit. (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 ) [20:08] what is the difference between 64bit and 32bit linux? hardwise and software wise? [20:08] In which startup script can I put custom X init settings? [20:08] Jordan_U: that line is in that file from the instructions you just gave me. [20:09] Jordan_U: I have a Wubi installation. so thats what the difference is [20:09] Hi. Is there a *simple* drawing app similar to mspaint/pbrush? I have gimp for my brother, but I want to drunkenly scribble something without learning a new app. (I *do* have paper, but all my pens are broken ;p) [20:09] I would like a guest session (X/Gnome, not terminal) to start automatically in the background whenever Ubuntu boots without losing the login screen. Is there a command I can put into a startup script somwehere that will make that happen? I already tried but to no avail. [20:10] Jordan_U: I created a blank file, with that line in it, and put it into the boot/grub folder in the dir created by the wubi installer. hoping that will solve on reboot [20:10] Ktoś z polski ? [20:10] Jordan_U: called it boot.ini, and added the line you told me to put in. [20:10] magicjoe: boot.ini is a windows configuration file, it's not contained in boot/grub or any wubi specific directory. It's in the root of the partition (but it's hidden and read only by default, so follow the instructions I gave to open it). [20:11] Jordan_U: i did that and the line was already there. [20:12] then how to make it work? [20:12] rythbuntu: can you copy it to your honme partition ? [20:12] Jordan_U: I guess what i need then is what do i need to put into the boot/grub folder under the wubi directory to get the ubuntu option back when i boot up? [20:13] Jordan_U: thats why im backing up the .disk files with all my settings and whatnot, then will reinstall wubi and replace the default .disk files with my old ones. [20:13] magicjoe: Odd. Can you take a picture of the menu(s) you see at boot? [20:13] Jordan_U: sigh. no. it happened because i was updating, and it froze [20:14] magicjoe: No to what? You can't take a picture of the menus you see at boot? [20:14] yeah that worked.....but cant it be done in the mounted partition? [20:14] Jordan_U: i get the windows xp or Ubuntu === cliff__ is now known as C1iFF [20:15] rythbuntu: you can tr to remount it without the noexec thing [20:15] Jordan_U: when i click ubuntu, there is no linux option in the grub loader [20:15] magicjoe: Ok. Can you boot an Ubuntu LiveCD? [20:15] how? [20:15] Jordan_U: the updates removed a lot of the files, and was going to install new files, but froze up. i had to hard restart [20:16] rythbuntu: check how it is mounted « cat /proc/mounts » then remount it [20:16] Does any1 know how to specify a custom EDID file on the new Xorg.conf file?? [20:16] Jordan_U: I have Helix 3 [20:16] magicjoe: That's a problem within the root.dsk file, so re-installing won't help. [20:16] rythbuntu: sudo mount mountpointhere -o remount,exec [20:16] Jordan_U: so is there a fix for this? [20:16] how can i see the bandwith usage for my vps? [20:17] magicjoe: Yes, but it's hard to fix from within windows. [20:17] VIM rulez [20:17] Jordan_U: well, i have helix 3. its forensics tools built on ubuntu....will that work? [20:17] Hello, all. I created a PGP key a while back, and I have since been forced to reinstall my system. Long story short, I no longer have a copy of this key, except for what is on the keyservers. How can I remove this key from the servers, or re claim it, if that is possible so I can use it to encrypt files and emails again? [20:17] the output is <> [20:17] magicjoe: Yes. [20:18] Jordan_U: ok, so im going to boot up to that, and then you can help me fix my wubi? [20:18] what is the difference between 64bit and 32bit linux? hardwise and software wise? [20:18] magicjoe: Yes. [20:19] Jordan_U: thank you for this. booting up now [20:20] magicjoe: You're welcome. [20:20] Jordan_U: can i go smoke a cig real quick while this reboots? [20:20] Jordan_U: im talking to you on my laptop, my desktop has the problem [20:21] magicjoe: I'm not going to stop you (and I will still be here when you get back :) [20:21] Jordan_U: thanks again. brb. helix is loading [20:22] Any1 know a fix to having the monitor on a abnormal size in Maverick 64 bit?? [20:24] pidgin messenger wont work and empathy logs in but wont let me chat ;/ [20:24] Jordan_U: back. thanks again for your patience and time, and help. helix is up and running [20:25] magicjoe: Do you know how to mount partitions and how to loop mount files? [20:25] Hello, I'm new to ubuntu and have been having trouble as of late. The OS is working fine and I love it! However, for some reason I can't get the sound to work. === wetjack is now known as vecher [20:25] I know the system is detecting my sound card but I still can't hear anything [20:25] The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid. [20:26] Jordan_U: sort of. i am a noob, but have taken linux classes in college. i catch on quick. i have a terminal open, and have su to root [20:26] dragonkeeper: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/fix-pidgin-ssl-error/ [20:26] Hi [20:27] Jordan_U: my windows partition is mounted [20:27] magicjoe: Can you pastebin the output of "blkid"? [20:27] Quick question: Does having a folder with more then 100,000 files will affect a server's performance? [20:27] anyone know of a file manager like midnight commander , but with a web interface ? [20:27] Jordan_U: i cant past it to here because this is my laptop, and the wubi is on my destop, but i can type in what it says...let me run that [20:28] Jordan_U:it lists all my partitions, and i have one loop0 type =squashfs [20:28] magicjoe: If you've already mounted your windows partition (and you know the mount point) then I don't need that output. [20:29] I have a laptop with an SSD and I would like to set commit=60 on the root partition. I did it in /etc/fstab and in grub, but something still appends a commit=0 at the end (or commit=600 when on battery). [20:29] Jordan_U: yeah its dev/hda1 [20:30] Ubuntu Netbook is optimized for Netbook computers [20:30] Interface is different [20:31] Jordan_U: are you there? [20:31] magicjoe: Yes. === Dad is now known as Guest15113 [20:31] Jordan_U: ok just checking. what do i do now? lol [20:32] wendico [20:32] didnt work [20:32] magicjoe: To mount your wubi root.disk run "mount -o loop /mountpoint/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt/". [20:33] Jordan_U: do that verbatim or substitube mountpoint with the actual mountpoint? [20:33] magicjoe: Substitute mountpoint. [20:35] Jordan_U:did that, and it says "not a directory" [20:35] Jordan_U:wubi is on dev/hdb5 so i put that there for mountpoint === Dad_ is now known as Guest85937 === K is now known as Guest57324 [20:35] magicjoe: /dev/hdb5 is not a mountpoint, it's a device node. [20:35] is it possible to install windows on another real partition from an iso? [20:35] what is the command to restart nautilus [20:36] i hate flash [20:36] Sheepherd: grub2 can boot ISO files. [20:36] bsod1, killall nautilus, nautilus& [20:36] magicjoe: Run "mount" to find where /dev/hdb5 is mounted. [20:36] annihilator, Who doesn't?! [20:36] Quick question: Does having a folder with more then 100,000 files will affect a server's performance? [20:36] annihilator: you can use minitube to view videos online :) [20:36] Jordan_U, he could run df too [20:36] ActionParsnip: Only those designed to be loop booted, i.e. not windows install CDs. [20:36] ActionParsnip, it can? good to know... lemme google that :) [20:36] Jordan_U: media/hdb5? [20:36] anyone know why ubuntu is opening the wrong window when i click on an icon in the task bar [20:36] danielddt1: shouldn't do but its very disorganized [20:37] Hello, all. I created a PGP key a while back, and I have since been forced to reinstall my system. Long story short, I no longer have a copy of this key, except for what is on the keyservers. How can I remove this key from the servers, or re claim it, if that is possible so I can use it to encrypt files and emails again? [20:37] Jordan_U: i see, bah [20:37] Sheepherd: apparently not [20:37] Jordan_U: that is doing something [20:37] chris_99, Probably because that's what the button points to. What is the button, what are you trying to open? What is being opened? [20:37] i dont like flash cause it is not 64bit compat [20:37] ActionParsnip, so whats that mean? if i cant burn it i cant install it? [20:37] you need flash to watch porno movies [20:37] annihilator: There is a 64 bit alpha rlease of flash. [20:38] daniel: It could have implications if you are running low on inode availability on your filesystem. It would also be very slow to list the contents of that directory. [20:38] Sheepherd: use a USB stick, you will need to use extra steps.Windows support in ##windows but it can be done [20:38] Anyone can help me to install freenx i got this error and when i say 'yes' nothing happen http://www.pastebin.ca/1998116 [20:38] edbian, in the task bar i have lots of windows like, xchat,firefox etc. like before if i click on xchat, firefox would open [20:38] Jordan_U: command accepted with no error message, hard drive is spinning.....cursor in terminal is just blinking on a blank line now [20:38] annihilator: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/ [20:38] chris_99, So they're literally the wrong ones? [20:38] chris_99:Right-click the icon/properties [20:38] i dont know if i want to use alpha version of flash on a server install [20:38] yup [20:39] hi all [20:39] Jordan_U: hd stopped spinning, cursor still blinking on blank line.....nothing happening [20:39] edbian, yeah it literally maximised the wrong window [20:39] chris_99:look if the command is right [20:39] its funny when you have to get java working in your web browser [20:39] ActionParsnip, ah fuck that damn crappy OS. sry for language :P can i just a virtual machine instead? since i only need win for gaming === claw_ is now known as claw [20:39] chris_99, Arteymis He's not talking about launchers. He's talking about the window list applet. [20:39] use a* [20:39] yeah thats right edbian [20:40] Sheepherd: games dont run well in vurtualized system, if at all [20:40] yeah Java Games would Rock [20:40] chris_99, It's just a bug. Did you try restarting? Does it persist? [20:40] Quantum_Ion:Not minecraft I hope :'( [20:40] Sheepherd: Watch your language. Saying you're sorry doesn't excuse it. [20:40] Java still has its own Quirks [20:40] ActionParsnip, thats what i thought so too. well i guess theres noway around it then [20:41] edbian, at the moment it seems to have stopped, but it has been doing it all this passed week [20:41] o [20:41] edbian:mkay thanks for info :I [20:41] (and i have restarted many times over the week) [20:41] most games are written in C++ so the deal directly with the computers CPU [20:41] Jordan_U, we're @ubuntu so i thought bashing window$ is tolerated ^^ but wont happen again. [20:41] you can use an SDK like Qt for videogame programming [20:41] Cuda technology is amazing. [20:41] Jordan_U: i don't know what to do next? nothing happened on that command, the cursor went to another line, and blinks....nothing going on. [20:42] chris_99, Figure out if you can trigger it yourself. Then you can make a bug post on launch-pad. The trickiest part of bugs sometimes is figuring out what use case actually cased them. [20:42] Java based games tend to be a little slower [20:42] Sheepherd, this is technically ubuntu support only... [20:42] magicjoe: Does pressing ctrl+D do anything? [20:42] yeah, i'll try and work out what triggers it, cheers for your help edbian [20:42] For example you wouldnt see Call of Duty written in Java most likely it is written in C++ [20:42] chris_99, good luck [20:42] Jordan_U: hd starts spinning again [20:43] Quantum_Ion: do you have an Ubuntu question? [20:43] Hey [20:43] java is not used to write games !! [20:43] how to make top bar fully transparent? [20:43] Quantum_Ion: There's surely a channel for developpers.. [20:43] Artemis3, hehe okay. thx for support anyways. highly appreciated =) [20:43] maxylopes, right click, properties [20:43] Nps [20:43] Artemis3, Sure there is of course there is [20:43] nvm [20:43] how can i search in directories and subdirectories via the terminal? [20:44] :P [20:44] how can I combine all files in a directory in one file?:q [20:44] ye i know it but buttons APPS PLACES SYSTEM are not transparent :( [20:44] Jordan_U: and nothing..... [20:44] Rick_Deckard, use the find command [20:44] Ed_Money: Compress in Tar [20:44] maybe i should install something so they would be transparent? [20:44] Ed_Money: It's not a real compression [20:44] Rick_Deckard, using the find command [20:44] magicjoe: No idea. The output of "dmesg" (in another terminal) would be usefull, but it's too much to type out manually. Can you connect to the internet or transfer the output via flash drive to a computer that can? [20:44] find -i "filename" I believe. Read the man pages for more details [20:45] find (path) -name filename [20:45] testing proftpd using filezilla using tls for some reason it connects but outputs 'Connection timed out' than 'Failed to retrieve directory listing', need to find out why, what ports other than 21 do I have to open because if I disable ufw I am able to connect [20:45] what is a 'matching output script table'? How can I fix/create it? (running maverick on 64bit) [20:45] find "directory to search" -name "filename" -print [20:45] Rick_Deckard, For example to find all your porno mpgs on your system you would type this ----> find / -name *.mpg [20:46] find -iname "name*" the "s deal with spaces in filenames, iname makes the name case insensitive [20:46] Quantum_Ion: LOL, perfect example! [20:46] Jordan_U: many many lines of "failed to read" [20:46] greenmtnvm, Thanks ! [20:46] Why not the whole TOP bar is transparent? [20:47] Jordan_U: it connects to the internet [20:47] greenmtnvm: Quantum_Ion: use "*.mpg" instead of *.mpg as it deals with spaces in filenames [20:47] maxylopes: Compiz can make the taskbar transparent if it's what you are talking about [20:47] !pastebin | magicjoe [20:47] magicjoe: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [20:47] which settings? [20:47] ActionParsnip, Okay noted [20:48] have a question about seeing logins after activating command finger. i see the login name but no tty value, or login time? [20:48] maxylopes: Not sure, I'm not using Compiz, but my friend does [20:48] maxylopes: I suppose it's an additional plug-in [20:48] Jordan_U: im confused? pastebin? [20:48] I am searching for it but cant find :( [20:48] Jordan_U: oh the first command finally finished, and its says unknown filesystem type ext4 [20:49] magicjoe: You're liveCD is too old then. [20:49] will any live CD work, if its ext4? [20:49] ActionParsnip, This command seems to work fast find / -name "*.mpg" [20:49] Quantum_Ion: its because you searched before ;) [20:50] ok thanks will be searching good night :) [20:50] Jordan_U:i have penguin sleuth, and i have a live cd created with remastersys [20:50] how would i cange the default layout of the panels in ubuntu so they are reversed so bottom panel is now top and top is bottom [20:50] if i remember right you can right click on a empty spot in the panel and drag it or there is a option when you right click to customize the panels [20:50] is there a way of doing that using a command in the terminal? gconftool-2 --set /apps/panel/general/toplevel_id_list --type list --list-type string "[top_panel_screen0]" somthing along the lines of that just because im trying to create an auto config/install tool [20:50] lazarus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:51] magicjoe: How old are they? [20:51] Jordan_U: sleuth is old, but the live cd i created from an existing installation is pretty new, its karmic not lucid [20:52] lazarus_, if using the gconf cli tool is too hard then preseed the /etc/skel folder with the desired ~/.gconf setup [20:52] lazarus_: you can move the panels to the side while you swap them around [20:52] magicjoe: Karmic should have ext4 support. [20:53] <^Mike> When I type 'cd ~/.mozi' in the terminal, it expands the tilde, even though I have 'set expand-tilde off' in .inputrc - am I misunderstanding what that setting does? Should I be doing something else to have it leave the tilde as-is? [20:53] how can i see how much bandwith im using on my vps? [20:53] hey guys! I'd like to have an FTP server set up for ~30 secs. Shouldn't take longer than that to get it running. Any pointers? [20:53] herro: ntop should do it [20:54] Jordan_U: booting up the live cd created from existing karmic installation [20:54] says cmd not found [20:54] ActionParsnip, lol ntop is overkill and eats cpu cycles for breakfast [20:54] guest6745: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-an-FTP-Server-in-Ubuntu-Linux [20:55] is there a straight lxde version of ubuntu? [20:55] airtonix: its only a quick glimpse, could use: ntop -n 1 ;) [20:55] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link. I see I should have been more specific. I don't need a full-fledged FTP server to run 24/7. It's just for 30 secs to get some files from A to B [20:55] annihilator: lubuntu [20:55] how can i see how much bandwith im using on my vps? [20:55] guest6745: if you use ssh then you can mount sshfs [20:55] testing proftpd using filezilla using tls for some reason it connects but outputs 'Connection timed out' than 'Failed to retrieve directory listing', need to find out why, what ports other than 21 do I have to open because if I disable ufw I am able to connect [20:56] Jordan_U: oh man.....my monitor is saying cannot display video [20:56] The coolest part about Linux is that all your *.flv files get downloaded to /tmp directory and you can save them by renaming the file before the flv file completely downloads in the browser [20:56] amarcolino: then configure ufw to allow connections on port 21 [20:56] Jordan_U:maybe reboot and see if the cd has an option to boot to command line? [20:56] ActionParsnip: I know. I also know the 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer' 1-second hack to pulling files. That's not suitable for pushing though [20:56] Quantum_Ion: or just use youtube-dl [20:56] * annihilator loves ubuntu and ubuntu based releases [20:57] annihilator: they arent bad :) [20:57] Jordan_U: oh nope, sorry. patience is a virtue, looks like up [20:57] ActionParsnip, youtube-dl doesnt work for porno flvs [20:57] annihilator: you can install the minimal and then install lxde and get a really slim ubuntu release [20:57] ActionParsnip: they are better for both servers and "gaming" [20:57] ActionParsnip: I have doesn't that already both 20 and 21 however the program still can't retrieve the directory listing [20:57] ActionParsnip: i am not looking for a slim install [20:58] annihilator: i dunno, my gentoo box wine runs better than my ubuntu one does [20:58] Jordan_U: it ended up going to a command prompt, and i ran startx to get into the gui [20:58] ActionParsnip, For example if I watch a porno flv in my browser I cd /tmp and change the name of the Flash file to Sample.flv and use vlc to watch the video later [20:58] random question, but does anyone know if ASCII is said A S C TWO or A S C EYE EYE [20:58] well i dont game on wine [20:58] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/802478/grub-hell.png -- today's fail topic? If you choose "no" you'll get the same prompt over and over, until you choose "yes". [20:58] i am talking about the 500 linux based games [20:58] lexvegas: ASS KEY [20:58] lexvegas: i say: ask-i [20:59] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/802478/grub-hell.png -- today's fail topic? If you choose "no" you'll get the same prompt over and over, until you choose "yes". This after running aptitude safe-upgrade to install the grub updates. [20:59] Which command can be used to put the system to sleep(suspend to RAM) after 42 minutes? [20:59] lexvegas: the II is not 2 it's the letter I twice as it's an acronym [20:59] you can use ffmpeg to convert the porno flv to an mpeg or avi file too which is really cook [20:59] lexvegas: ass-kee === marc is now known as Guest47489 [20:59] thanks! [21:00] sresu: sleep 2520; pm-suspand assuming pm-suspend is the suspend command === Guest47489 is now known as Jumbal_de [21:00] look [21:00] #look [21:00] sresu: or you can use the at daemon (you wont have to keep the terminal open if you do) [21:00] sometimes I used youtube-dl to download youtube videos and make mp3's out of the flv you can use ffmpeg to convert the file into a wav file and then use lame to compress it to an mp3 [21:00] ActionParsnip: How did you get the figure 2250? [21:00] 2520* [21:00] Why did I bother with this insane channel... [21:01] an mp3 is just a compressed wav file [21:01] 7lc [21:01] Jordan_U: desktop is loading......slowly. but i see the background, status bars are coming soon, i hope [21:01] ffmpeg is still really very experimental [21:02] sresu: 60 * 42 [21:02] sresu: 60 seconds * 42 minutes = 2520... [21:02] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I read the man of sleep. [21:02] magicjoe: I'll be back in about 10 minutes. [21:02] where can I disable the password query when coming back from suspend? [21:02] ActionParsnip, Do you use lame to make mp3's [21:03] Jordan_U: ok, my desktop should be up by then. status bars are showing up, icons not loaded yet. [21:03] ActionParsnip: Moreover, what was your other suggestion related to daemon? [21:03] vlc is the greatest media player of all time [21:03] Jordan_U: i really appreciate your help. [21:04] hello [21:04] Could someone steer me in the right direction... I'm looking to build a new computer and I'm wondering what graphics card works best for gaming in Ubuntu. [21:04] in 11.04, will gnome still be included to fall back on, if there is no 3d acceleration driver installed [21:04] <_16BitSubsystem_> Veliouras_: Hi [21:04] i'd like to connect a creative zen x-fi player in ubuntu 10 [21:04] got it, nvr mind [21:04] Do you remember back in the days when they had xmms to play mp3's on Linux now audacious is pretty close to what xmms used to be [21:04] what's happened to gnome in 11.04? [21:04] it looks connected but i can not play or trasfer music [21:04] apt-get install audacious try that [21:04] sresu: you can use: at nox + 42 minutes === kaosgrl is now known as kaosgrrl [21:05] sresu: then type the command at the next prompt, press CTRL+D to exit [21:05] <_16BitSubsystem_> Veliouras_: Are you using it as an storage device? [21:06] _16BitSubsystem_ no i am using it as a player [21:06] apt-get install audacious looks kinda like xmms from back in the days on RedHat Linux [21:07] hello there [21:07] whats the command ( shell ) to run an program on top ( x ) ? [21:07] or in front ... [21:07] Only one problem I cannot capture Hulu.com videos using that method [21:07] ActionParsnip: Thanks [21:08] I think hulu.com encodes or hides their flvs [21:08] is there a stumble upon download for chromium?

If i don't plan to ever use it can i just disable it? [21:09] sresu: at is very handy [21:09] Quantum_Ion: I mean which browser [21:09] sresu, I mean Hulu.com their flv files dont get downloaded to the /tmp directory on Ubuntu Linux not sure where they go [21:09] wolfric: yes [21:09] n0a1ias: you can install chromium-browser from the official repos [21:09] sresu, In Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [21:10] hulu.com might not even use Flash but I think they do [21:10] Quantum_Ion: If you use mozilla, then it goes to .mozilla>firefox>xxxyyzz.default>Cache [21:10] ActionParsnip, i was wondering if chromium has a stumble upon tolldar download [21:10] hulu uses flash @Q [21:10] sresu, Ohh snap it goes into the browser cache damn it [21:10] avec le nouveau ubuntu 10.10 mon bluetooth ne ne met plus en marche automatiquement au départ d'ubuntu quelqu'un a une idée pour regler cela? [21:11] ActionParsnip: I'm not very sure how to use at [21:11] sorry wrong chan [21:11] n0a1ias: i dont know what that is, why not just use the repos like you have with every other app you install / update/ [21:11] sresu: then use the internet to find out [21:11] thanks ActionParsnip [21:11] sresu, let me try loading a hulu.com video and see if I can capture it as an flv file [21:12] hey guys, i've been having a consistent video playback problem since installing 10.10, videos will pause for a small time, then play intermittently fast and slow for about 45 seconds, then resume as normal === edi is now known as Guest99532 [21:12] sound is rarely affected, compiz doesn't seem to be effected, and all video players and flash are affected [21:12] it's a little strange [21:12] Winkie: i'd test your RAM [21:13] wow that is interesting Winkie [21:13] test [21:13] ActionParsnip: strange how it would just affect videos though === Guest99532 is now known as HS [21:13] i'll do it next reboot though [21:13] Jordan_U: u back yet? [21:13] ActionParsnip: I meant that I'm not sure whether its part of cron comands like crontab, at, batch, csh, ksh etc ... [21:14] sresu, website advertising me is killing me nowadays [21:14] sresu, that hulu.com video didnt load into Mozilla Cache [21:15] Quantum_Ion: really? even on linux you get annoying advertisings? I meant what's the word? adwares? spywares? [21:15] ActionParsnip: Were you talking about cron daemon? I cannot remember it properly [21:15] Quantum_Ion: Try to test that while seeing any YouTube videos. It will come as a video file which you can sort by details, date [21:16] littlejoey_z, you know the advertising before you watch some youtube and hulu.com videos is annoying [21:16] Jordan_U: are you back? [21:16] oh yeah those ones [21:16] sresu, okay I will give it a shot === jose__ is now known as yxz97 [21:17] Jordan_U, Hey, I'm on my new ubuntu [21:17] quantum_ion, littlejoey_z, have you tried toguether the following addons in firefox: Adblock Plus, Flashblock and NoScript. Ad killing combo! [21:17] Quantum_Ion: There are many things in cache that bulids up that needed to sorted, I usually try Details, Date and at times size since it would be manximum amongst other file size [21:17] Jordan_U, but the screen has rows.. [21:17] jaja [21:17] wendico, That kills the ads before some youtube/hulu videos? [21:18] sresu, I think I will just use youtube-dl file to capture youtube videos [21:18] wendico: I don't need that for now, but as LoganJRuff mentionned, it doesn't kill the ads before the youtube and hulu videos [21:19] Does anyone have a comprehensive and SIMPLE guide for setting up a samba server which help Windows computers store files? [21:19] Quantum_Ion: If you closely sobsere, it really goes there and can be easily saved from the cache [21:19] Not the official guide, i dont get anything out of it [21:19] Queops: #ubuntu-server [21:19] Cheers [21:20] sresu: i believe there is an at daemon too, you can use cron for repeat commands [21:20] sresu: you can use gnome-schedule to configure cron if you have an x server and find the syntax too taxing [21:20] sresu, I noticed on linux most flv files get downloaded to /tmp directory but you have to move fast to rename the file because it gets deleted automatically as soon as it fully downloads [21:21] Jordan_U, done, ! [21:21] wendico: you can also add resolutions to your /etc/hosts file to kill them good [21:21] Quantum_Ion: It clears only after closing the browser [21:21] I got the windows that says about the propietary drivers, stuff, I select the card and donw [21:21] ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm finding at better now. Thanks [21:21] s/donw/done [21:21] sresu, your method doesnt work for me [21:21] Quantum_Ion: I' sorry [21:21] sresu, and I use Google Chrome most of the time anyway [21:22] Oh [21:22] Jordan_U, also the video card worked with ubuntu at first login, no problem with that so lucky, because in jaunty this was a real pain in the balls!

[21:23] cause both have issues on ubuntu 10.04 [21:23] littlejoey_z: theres also crossover office, also paid for and closed source [21:23] annihilator, Wine is probably your best bet for right now, considering that it's free. [21:24] well i had a subscription to cedga [21:24] it expired about 6 months ago [21:24] Jordan_U, THANK YOU [21:24] aninihilator, in games for windows , the games have a good performance? [21:24] i dont think is posible to kill adds inside a flash player plugin if you need to run that flash player content xd [21:24] Jordan_U, we aworked hard to have this working, ... [21:24] ActionParsnip: ic, now a friend of mine had a question. He used to have problems with powerpoint used with wine in ubuntu 10.04. Do you think this has been fixed in 10.10 (I doubt it) [21:24] i wana learn japane [21:25] depending on the game yes cedga can be better than wine but i am having issues with wine running on 10.04 [21:25] littlejoey_z: try wine1.3 [21:25] wendico, No, to my knowledge it is not. [21:25] Jordan_U: i have my live cd running, only at command prompt. mount command does not list my dev/hda5 partition anywhere [21:25] and i was wondering if there was a way to use wine and cedga together to create a better team for games and windows programs [21:25] thanks [21:25] annihilator: both apps have appdbs for compatibility, some apps run better in different apps [21:25] ActionParsnip: oh ok thanks, I will tell him that [21:25] <_16BitSubsystem_> night: i wanna learn italian [21:25] annihilator: theres also crossover office [21:26] do you know if there is any serious anti-flashplayer movement i could join? i really hate flash player :) [21:26] why the games enterprises dont take an massive investiment ?

[22:17] ivonete: #ubuntu-br [22:17] izinucs, someone may want to let ubuntu dev know they left the "defacto standard" out of the desktop live distro [22:17] ivonete, opa [22:17] Jordan_U: what happened to you? i finally understood the pastebinit and gave u my url! [22:17] (: [22:17] enfim um [22:17] ActionParsnip: it works [22:18] então [22:18] izinucs: it has the 1360x768 working. I want to set it to 1440x900. but for some reason it thinks it supports 1440x400. which is absolutely ridiculous [22:18] ActionParsnip: its just slow [22:18] se alguem puder me ajudar [22:18] ActionParsnip: and its only on UBuntu [22:18] vic20gmr: it's a kde program.. and default in kubuntu.. but many use it in ubuntu because it works so well [22:18] ivonete: nao fale aqui entre no #ubuntu-br [22:18] eu to com um problema no alsamixer [22:18] ActionParsnip: on windows its the same thing and its ok [22:18] ok [22:18] vic20gmr: which standard? [22:18] Cann: what is the hex id you got? === jianzhang is now known as HanRiver [22:18] rufsketch1: having tried that on my tv I gotta tell you that 1440x900 doesn't display well at all.. [22:19] ActionParsnip: hex ID? [22:19] ActionParsnip: where would I find that [22:19] izinucs: well, I need something higher than 1360x768, but lower than 1080p [22:19] After doing a Google search... I have found some graphing calculators but are there any for 10.04? [22:19] Cann: from the lsusb command..... [22:19] Cann: that I told you to generate earlier..... [22:19] LittleJoeyZ: can YOU try to help me again? Jordan came back, then left again.... [22:19] What's the name of the compiz plugin that resizes all open windows to fit on the screen at once? [22:20] izinucs, i could understand your mentioning it, and talking about it as a defacto standard if i asked about kubuntu 10.04, but i did say i was using Ubuntu 10.04 [notice the absence of "k"? [22:20] blocky: i'd ask in #compiz too [22:20] how can i take a snapshot of my ubuntu installation? [22:20] ActionParsnip: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless [22:20] share: could use partimage [22:20] ActionParsnip: that?? [22:20] hi. I am using the awesome window manager and some apps have annoying sounds everywhere, for eg when opening a new tab in chromium browser. how can i remove them? i guess they are something to do with the gnome environment? === james is now known as Guest60732 [22:20] share: what do you mean snapshot? like a dd image? [22:20] vic20gmr: you asked.. I answered.. I had ubottu send a link to you.. from there it's up to you what you use.. I don't have a direct answer like I said. [22:20] magical: Sorry, flakey internet connection. [22:21] magicjoe: ^^ [22:21] Jordan_U: THANK GOD youre back [22:21] johntramp: awesome what¿¿ hum....system>prererences>sound [22:21] does ufw support port range? If it does can someone please type the syntax for it [22:21] Jordan_U: url is /Zx6Z24Jc [22:21] magicjoe: Could you give the full URL? [22:22] Gulfstream: qalcalculate [22:22] Jordan_U:http//pastebin.com/Zx6Z24Jc [22:22] izinucs, i understand, but k3b isnt on the ubuntudistro i got, i just dont appreciate it when anyone acts as though i should know somethng, when that just isnt the case, ive never heard of k3b before today [22:22] YawNNNNNN [22:22] Gulfstream: qalculate [22:22] cann: http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313098 [22:22] vic20gmr: sudo apt-get install k3b [22:23] Cann: seems ndisgtk + windows driver makes it faster [22:23] xangua: awesome is a tiling window manager - i am not in gnome. i have had a look in gnome-control-center and i have sounds set to "no sounds" theme, but i still get beeps whenever a dialog window comes up etc [22:23] izinucs, I already have qalculate and I can't find out how to use it as a graphing calculator [22:23] Jordan_U: this stress makes me need to smoke another cigarette....will you be here still? i will be quick. im trying everything you tell me [22:23] Cann: or you could compile the ralink driver yourself, may help [22:23] Cann: ralink make great linux drivers [22:23] Jordan_U: i figured out the pastebinit [22:23] How can I find out what java package my system uses? [22:24] magicjoe: Yes. [22:24] how can you change monitor/screen dimensions in ubuntu maverick? (Note: dimension spefications not the screen resolution) [22:24] ActionParsnip: I don't have the skill for this type of thing [22:24] ActionParsnip: but I wish I could [22:24] ActionParsnip: Hats off to you guys who can do these things [22:24] Jordan_U: I will seriously send you money if you can get my wubi back! [22:24] rufsketch1: xrandr *should* do what you want.. the only other way I can think of is if you ran nvidia-settings as root and saved the xorg.conf file.. once done open that file and manually edit the needed lines for the resolutions you need on the monitor you need them on. That's a bit of googling though. [22:24] brb [22:24] Cann: you just need to read the readme and install build-essential. You dont learn stuff if you dont try [22:25] my nvidia graphics monitor doesnt recognize correct screen size, plz help.. [22:25] Cann: or you can blacklist the current driver and use ndisgtk instead like the post says [22:25] help up billinhgserver on my laptop ubuntu 10.10 [22:25] pliz [22:26] But ActionParsnip does this really sound like a driver issue? [22:26] I have a connection ActionParsnip [22:26] ActionParsnip: Im on it now [22:26] Gulfstream: F1 will bring up a very nicely done manual for it.. [22:26] What do I have to do so my programs use Sun's Java version instead of icecat? === james_ is now known as jcarlin [22:26] Cann: well the guy in that post said s/he switched to ndisgtk and it was faster, so I'd go with yes [22:26] Jordan_U: i am back [22:27] Hey I cant open up "main menu" in the System > Preferences [22:27] Jordan_U: did i do the pastebin correctly? and does that help? [22:27] magicjoe: Yes and yes. [22:28] magicjoe: Run "umount /mnt/" then "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/" then run "mount | pastebinit" and give the URL. [22:28] Jordan_U: sweet. sorry to be a nuisance. you really are a great soul for doing this. THANK you again. i really will send you money if you get this going for me. [22:29] Gulfstream: looks like you have to use gnuplot to get the graphing to work.. check out this screen shot http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/images/snapshot-desktop.png [22:29] LiquidDemocracy: its their choice dude [22:29] Jordan_U: the umount says device is busy! [22:29] ActionParsnip: could you help, i've got a xsession-error file, that keeps getting larger... [22:29] LiquidDemocracy: icecat is a web browser, what does it has todo with java¿ [22:29] Eighteens: no idea dude, ask the channel [22:30] Nevermind. I meant iced tea [22:30] I just installed lirc via apt-get and configured my reciever, but I can't get the remote to work in XBMC. What are the next steps for troubleshooting this? I can tell my IR reciever is working as the red LED lights up when I press a button on my remote, by XBMC is unresponsive. [22:30] LiquidDemocracy: uninstall iced tea ans install java [22:30] sun java* [22:30] mmm now is oracle java¿¿ [22:30] izinucs, to check md5 in ubuntu type in terminal "md5sum " [without quotes, just passing it along... [22:30] magicjoe: Try running "cd" first. [22:31] vic20gmr: that's pretty easy.. thanks for telling me. [22:31] in my ~/ home dir, there is a file called .xsession-errors and it's growing, i try opening the file to read the errors, but the files is growing in size as i look at it [22:31] Jordan_U: can i force this to quit? [22:31] I am trying to install ndisgtk and I get this [22:31] E: Invalid operation ndisgtk [22:31] Jordan_U: still says buys [22:32] Eighteens: copy it then read the copy [22:32] Cann: its in a stock install afaik [22:32] i was able to copy like 5300 lines of it, and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/535019/ [22:32] magicjoe: Try "fuser -k /mnt/" [22:32] Um, hello guys, can i ask a help with an ubuntu problem here? [22:33] ActionParsnip: so I install afaik? [22:33] vitali_: ask away [22:33] Cann: afaik == as far as I know [22:33] my md5 matches the one listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [22:33] Jordan_U: that was successful, don't know what it did [22:33] vitali_, aye lets see if we can help [22:33] Hey I cant open up "main menu" in the System > Preferences can anyone help...? [22:33] jcarlin: try removing the item, then readd it [22:33] Okay, this is pretty much hard to explain, i'd appreciate if you'd watch this video to better undestand my problem - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv [22:33] magicjoe: It killed any processes with open files in /mnt/. Now try "umount /mnt/" again (if you haven't already). [22:33] jcarlin: as in, the item on the panel [22:33] jcarlin, have got ubuntu netbook or desktop? [22:34] ActionParsnip: what do I put in the terminal apt-get afaik? [22:34] desktop. [22:34] Jordan_U: still buys [22:34] busy [22:34] I cant remove it without using the menu manager.... [22:34] Jordan_U: still busy i mean [22:34] Cann: no it was me exclaiming it should be installed, its nothing technical [22:34] jcarlin, was it there before? [22:34] jcarlin: point at "Applications" and right mouse click > edit [22:34] ActionParsnip: lol [22:34] Cann: try running: gksudo ndisgtk [22:35] ActionParsnip: nothing happens [22:35] it just goes to another line [22:35] magicjoe: Run "umount /mnt/dev/; umount /mnt/proc/; umount /mnt/sys/; umount /mnt/" [22:35] !info ndisgtk [22:35] ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.5-1 (maverick), package size 20 kB, installed size 864 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [22:35] I dont think you understand the question the menu manager under system > preferences will not start up [22:35] izinucs, mt md5 matches the one listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes, can you think of anything that might be causing the usb-bootcreator program to be telling me "checksum doesnt match, try again?" [22:35] through terminal either [22:36] its in the repo [22:36] Jordan_U: mnt/dev not mounted /mnt still busy [22:36] vic20gmr: not sure but I remember a discussion about the creator program having issues on 10.10.. There is another method of creating it using unetbootin.. you'll have to google for it though === draven is now known as draven_sol [22:37] magicjoe: Did you forget the leading '/' in "umount /mnt/dev/"? [22:37] Jordan_U:in some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1) [22:37] ok === Katja is now known as Quemek [22:37] vic20gmr: or you could create it anyway and ignore the error then see how it works. [22:37] Jordan_U: nope i put in all the slashes you put in [22:38] using the server install disk for a raid 10 what do the "spare" drives do? are they not used or are they the raid 1 part of the array? [22:38] magicjoe: Try running "sudo umount -a". [22:39] hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly? should I use cups, ipp, ?? suggestions, thanks [22:39] Jordan_U: ok mnt is no longer mounted! [22:40] alguem sabe como instalar o google earth no ubuntu? [22:40] izinucs, is there a program that runs from ubuntu that does the same? [22:40] Jordan_U: now the loop command? [22:40] magicjoe: Ok. Now run "mount /dev/sdXY /media/windows/" (again, replacing XY with the proper values). [22:40] vic20gmr: are you running 10.10? [22:41] So um, can anyone help? Shortly saying: the problem is explained in this screenshot - http://habreffect.ru/files/666/2e497e303/screenshot1.png, I run a script - nothing happens, i can't click a window, can't close it, can't even move it, it's like it's not even there. I figured out this is not a program specific as it happens with some other programs too. I posted a video incase it's difficult to understand my problem from a screenshot: [22:41] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv [22:41] Jordan_U: done [22:42] magicjoe: Now run "mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/" [22:42] izinucs, im running 10.04, if iwas already running 10.10 i wudnt ness need the ios/usb solution, heh [22:42] hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly to a wireless print server directly attached via usb to the printer. the ip of the WPS is static, so is the ip on the printer? should I use cups, ipp, ?? to test I have an HP all-in-one 6310. suggestions, thanks [22:42] i have a .dmg that i want to make a bootable usb drive out of, is it the same procedure as with an iso? (dd if=blah.iso of=drive)? [22:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu [22:42] Jordan_U: DONE [22:42] izinucs: is the NV driver the official binary or not the official bunary? according to the xrandr link, NV is the only nvidia driver that supports xrandr [22:43] hi all === Quemek is now known as Kkk [22:43] KKK [22:43] vic20gmr: see the post from wasutton3-Laptop above.. might be another solution for you [22:43] KKK [22:43] I've been getting a weird display error since upgrading to maverick [22:43] rufsketch1: have you got a newer card? [22:43] rufsketch1, the NV driver is the official linux driver [22:43] Crowded channel :( Hard to get help here, any more ubuntu channels here? [22:43] magicjoe: Now run "mkdir /media/wubi/media/windows/" (I know that seems odd, but I mean exactly what I typed). [22:43] some menus leave a ghost on the display, and that ghost catches whatever is shown above it, but never disappears [22:44] cach_surplus: I have a hp printer [22:44] axx_: there is a lot of that going around.. its a new release. fill out a bug report or hit up the community forums for it. === Balatro is now known as Guest62881 [22:44] izinucs: 260 GTS [22:44] iRa what do you use? [22:44] Jordan_U: DONE [22:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu someone help? [22:45] izinucs: NV is what would be installed if I used nvidia-common from the repos? [22:45] ira mine defaults to the HP 6300 driver. :| [22:45] magicjoe: Now run "mount --bind /media/windows/ /media/wubi/media/windows/". Then run "mount | pastebinit" and give the URL. [22:45] izinucs, it looks to me like he just has the same problem, except he has a dmg, not an iso [22:45] cache_surplus: that was my first idea, I just can't figure out how to put that bug into words, hence my coming here to see if anyone could point me to said problem/bug report [22:45] ira i tried loading HP Tools as well. nice gui, however i need to know if i should use cups, setup cups server localhost and connect to it, or use IPP or something else, that will work for 90% of the printers out there. [22:45] rufsketch1: you could install the latest driver which is available in the x-swat PPA.. you add the PPA to your repo list and then update/upgrade and it should be installed (probably needed a reboot after).. not saying that will fix your issue but it also pulls the latest nvidia-settings and may allow you more funciton.. [22:45] The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid. [22:46] axx_: the site, i forgot for ubuntu, one of these guys will know, but it tells you how to go about filling it out. [22:46] yxz97: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12906 [22:46] vic20gmr: yes.. but the command he mentioned was for an iso .. I don't know enough about dd to know it that will make a bootable driver or not. worth asking the channel [22:46] axx_: oh its a pidgin issue? [22:46] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/VcnWxQmw [22:46] cache_surplus: so you are looking for a generic way to set up printing [22:47] has to do with one of your plugins that are enabled? i talked to those guys, they said, no support for plugins lol [22:47] cache_surplus: nope, just trying to do my bit to help out other users while I'm here :) [22:47] izinucs: well, I'm going to play with XRandr first. But I have another question. The image seems to be too big for the screen when I use hdmi. Like, pixels get cut off at the borders. Is there any way to scale down the image to fit into the screen? [22:47] hey channel how can i usee command "dd" to make a bootable usb out of my ubuntu 10.10 iso? [22:47] Could someone please give a kernel-level project idea for ubuntu [22:47] iRa correct, that works well, color/black looks decent. [22:47] and wirelessly [22:47] I'd like to contribute in the kernel development [22:47] axx_, has been solved? [22:47] I have kernel hacking experience in FreeBSD like implementing my own process scheduling algorithm, page replacement algorithm [22:47] magicjoe: Not that it should be a problem, but did you really install XP to a fat32 partition rather than ntfs? [22:48] Jordan_U, hi [22:48] yxz97: grabbing two certs and dumping them in /usr/share/purple/ca-certs seemed to work for me [22:48] axx_, from where ? [22:48] Jordan_U: no its ntfs that is just a data partition that was shared on linux and xp [22:48] yxz97: grab 'em from here http://squidsrants.blogspot.com/2010/11/pidgin-msn-and-other-protocols.html [22:48] cache_surplus: I have a hp photosmart 309g which works both color and black and white [22:48] hi, I have this problem with permissions. I have a Sites folder in my home. the owner is "fabio" and group is "fabio". I have installed apache also, which runs as "www-data" in the "www-data" group [22:48] ubuntu rocks when it works [22:49] Jordan_U: the NEWSHARE partition is where wubi is at, but it worked fine [22:49] rufsketch1: hummm.. I don't know. [22:49] ira wirelessly to wireless print server? this is my issue. i can set up printers no prob attached. [22:49] mode for Sites folder is 775 [22:49] A problem here - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/585201/out.ogv any help? :( [22:49] hi, can someone tell me howto go about the best way to setting up printing, such that, 90% of printers will work wirelessly to a wireless print server directly attached via usb to the printer. the ip of the WPS is static, so is the ip on the printer? should I use cups, ipp, ?? to test I have an HP all-in-one 6310. suggestions, thanks [22:49] the I added the www-data user to the group "fabio" [22:49] izinucs: it only happens with hdmi though. It's fine with VGA. though, I need to use hdmi if I want audio at the moment [22:49] cache_surplus: ok, I'll try harder on the bug tracker… thanks see you around ! [22:49] axx have fun [22:50] i hate bug reports ;) [22:50] yxz97: hope all works out, cheers ! [22:50] Jordan_U: i mean, the windows is installed on an ntfs partition, but the newshare partition is fat, used for data files that are shared on both OSs [22:50] a necessary evil [22:50] don't we all ;) [22:50] rufsketch1: I understand.. sorry I don't have the answer [22:50] later :) [22:50] I expect that apache has permission to create files inside that directory but I get "permission denied" [22:50] cache_surplus: I am printing wirelessly to my hp [22:50] ira suggestions? cups/ipp? [22:50] Jordan_U: and that wubi is installed on the newshare partition [22:50] Jordan_U: hope that makes sense [22:51] I did mine via gnome using the system admin printing program [22:51] why doesnt PageUp and PageDown work as expected in Ubuntu. It should bring up the history. It wors as expected in Gentoo and Suse [22:51] izinucs: is there any program I need to install in order to get xrandr to give me some output? [22:51] magicjoe: Ahh, installing wubi to a separate partition from "C:" is probably the root cause of the problem. Wubi is currently embarassingly bad at dealing with being installed to a different partition than "C:". You are lucky you're still able to boot windows in fact. [22:51] at the moment it returns nothing [22:52] Jordan_U: it was working fine forever, with no problems. it only started today when i ran updates, and it froze up [22:52] well i gess noone is able/willing to help me with this "dd" thing.... [22:53] rufsketch1: sorry.. switched computers.. from laptop to desktop.. izinucs-scunizi :) type xrandr in a terminal and it will give you the resolutions that it currently has registered. [22:53] magicjoe: We'll continue with what I was planning to do, but there may be additional problems I wasn't expecting because it's a separate partition. [22:53] Scunizi: that's the thing [22:53] Jordan_U: can we just TRY to repair it as if it were on C:, now that we got the partition mounted...PLEASE just try. [22:53] typing xrandr returns blank [22:54] on my laptop however (with an intel chipset) it will give me the resolutions [22:54] Jordan_U: I understand the risks, and what you are saying....i just want to try to get it running again. [22:54] rufsketch1: type "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" .. and see what that has in it. [22:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu [22:54] Scunizi: it only shows one monitor. And no resolutions. I imagine this is due to the way the nvidia driver extends the desktop [22:55] it worked [22:55] thanks [22:55] Scunizi: just a second, I'll pastebin it [22:55] magicjoe: run "mount --bind /dev/ /media/wubi/dev/; mount --bind /proc/ /media/wubi/proc; mount --bind /sys/ /media/wubi/sys/" [22:55] http://pastebin.ca/1998318 [22:55] Scunizi: ^ [22:55] rufsketch1: you actually have 3 resolutions going right now.. a virtual resolution which is monitor1+monitor2 .. then monitor 1 only and monitor 2 only.. [22:56] rufsketch1: did you enable xinerama? [22:56] Scunizi: so how do I get to the resolutions of the individual monitors? [22:57] Scunizi: I'm using the nvidia-settings dual-monitor thing. How do I enable xinerama? [22:57] Jordan_U: is there a slash after the second proc? [22:57] rufsketch1: xinerama is a setting available in nvidia-settings.. just wondering if you enabled it .. take a look [22:57] how can get a video converter for my nokia n95 8g [22:57] magicjoe: It works with or without the '/'. But yes, I meant to have one. [22:57] Jordan_U: successful [22:58] hi [22:58] magicjoe: Now run "chroot /media/wubi/". [22:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535028/ ... alacarte will not run and when I go to /home/james/.config/menus there is no applications.menu [22:59] what program can i use for clone disk? [22:59] setup a streaming media server? [22:59] anyone [22:59] Jordan_U: chroot cannot run command '/bin/bash': exec format error [22:59] with the LiveCD [22:59] got links? [22:59] howto [22:59] on desktop ubuntu 10.10 [22:59] Scunizi: I'm working remotely on my girlfriends PC. So I have to ask her to find it. Where should she be looking? [22:59] magicjoe: You need a 64 bit liveCD :( [23:00] can someone help plz? [23:00] Jordan_U: NOOOOO [23:00] Hi. I just installed ubuntu onto a new computer, and I have a text file with all of the packages I had installed on the old system (line by line, nothing on each line but the package name). Is there a way to feed that file into aptitude or apt-get on the command line so it reinstalls them all? [23:00] Jordan_U: there is no way to do this fix on a 32 bit system? [23:00] New0: simplest way is to use dd [23:00] dd?? [23:00] magicjoe: You can fix it. You'll just have to edit the grub.cfg manually instead of using update-grub. [23:01] what is dd? [23:01] New0: Disk Duplicator. give it an 'if' value of the drive you want to copy from and an 'of' value of the one you want to copy to [23:01] yes; direct copy of your whole block device [23:01] Jordan_U: can you PLEASE help me do that? when i booted to windows, i saw the /ubuntu/boot/grub directory, but there was nothing in that. how do i get the grub back??? [23:01] which can be your hard disk or partition [23:01] rufsketch1: after opening nvidia-settings highlight the "X Server Display Configuration" item on the left ... then look on the right edge about 2/3rd of the way down where the "Configure" button is.. on that line to the left of the button what does it say? [23:02] Such as "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" to clone a drive to another attached drive (don't run that command if you don't know what's on sda and sdb) [23:03] how can i get a videoconverter for my nokia n95 8gb [23:03] ok i have an extenal driver of WD 1T and i need driver of E:\ of windows to close [23:03] *clone [23:04] is 10.04 LiveCD enutgh? [23:04] Jordan_U: how can i update the .cfg file? [23:04] *good [23:04] magicjoe: Just wait, it takes a while to write an explanation :) [23:04] Jordan_U: ok sorry. [23:04] New0: you mean literally *clone* or simply copy contents? [23:05] cline [23:05] *clone [23:05] not just copy [23:05] cache_surplus: I connected to my hp printer wirelessly by using System->Adminstration->printers [23:05] magicjoe: First run "chmod +w /media/wubi/boot/grub/grub.cfg". [23:05] i need one of those portable mice where the dongle can act as a clipboard [23:05] but clone the owl drive [23:05] converter for nokia n95 8gb [23:06] when the LiveCD go up i need to try it ? [23:06] Scunizi: she says all it says is twinview. She doesn't see anything related to xinerama [23:06] iRa ya me too, but your not saying what protocol you used. there are multiple options. [23:06] Jordan_U: DONE [23:06] new0: If you're cloning the drive, you must have a second drive with equal or more space than the original [23:06] *to press try [23:06] New0: (Not just equal space used, actual equal space available) [23:06] any experts with lirc around? I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and i have lirc installed and configured, but getting no response when i press buttons on my remote [23:06] sure [23:07] i some expiriend in that area but not in linux [23:07] So does anyone know a way to give apt-get a file as an argument? I tried piping with cat, didn't work right. [23:07] but i just hate MS since win 7 [23:07] magicjoe: Now run "ls -l /media/wubi/boot/ | pastebinit" and "blkid | pastebinit". [23:08] rufsketch1: ok.. then it's set right. and when you type xrandr in terminal you get nothing? blank? that's weird.. I'm running dual monitors on the desktop and xrandr report my resolution is 3200 x 1080 .. the combo for my 2 monitors [23:08] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com FdF0KAja [23:08] cache_surplus: I didn't see any options when I did that, looking to see [23:08] question: what works better by default, ipp, or cups printer? or something else that has good color [23:08] Scunizi: well. Her monitors aren't set up through randr. They're set up through the nvidia-settings tool [23:08] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/W5jF7d0a [23:08] iRa: ya try add new printer for fun, you will see what im mean [23:09] rufsketch1: is the computer currently plugged into the tv and the separate monitor? (if it's not a laptop) [23:09] dylnuge ? [23:09] Scunizi: yes [23:09] magicjoe: sigh... You have larger problems than I thought. [23:09] rufsketch1: and both are displaying at the same time? [23:10] Yes [23:10] Jordan_U: like un-fixable problems? [23:10] ira i wonder if i need to start up the printer setup gui using sudo instead... [23:10] New0: yes? [23:10] magicjoe: No. Just annoying and tedious :) [23:10] now i need to press try ubuntu ? [23:10] ira im now using the HPLIP toolbox [23:10] rufsketch1: the reason I ask is because your xorg.conf file doesn't mention the "other" monitor.. only one.. At this point I'm not sure how to fix this.. [23:11] i have ubuntu 10.10 and had it locked to a fixed ip, now i changed it to dhcp /auto but it still locks to that ip, how can i change it ? [23:11] New0: Oh, on the liveCd. Yeah, to get to the terminal environment (or you could just switch to a tty, either works) [23:11] cache_surplus: I don't have the hp toolbox myself, I am way too new to this version of linux [23:11] Jordan_U: i truly will pay you for helping me. im on a college student budget, but i can make installments. i mean, like 100 bucks? in installments, or like 50 or so? [23:11] rufsketch1: perhaps with xrandr --output auto [23:11] what is tty? [23:11] x404x: you can't.. the network card is going to request the same address as long as it is available [23:11] is there is way without the CLI ? [23:12] i perfer GUI [23:12] ira its nifty, this toolbox, it connects you locally to localhost:631/admin but i think thats a security hole. [23:12] New0: To directly clone a disk? You're probably best off working with the shell and dd if you want to clone the disk [23:12] Jordan_U: its just that i have a really cool cairo-dock installed, that i had to get from launchpad, then compile with CMAKE, and it would just be too much to redo! [23:12] Hi [23:12] so I can just shoot the server then ? [23:13] New0: cloning can be done with clonezilla or partimage .. both live cd's.. google for info [23:13] ok i try it [23:13] Jordan_U: and i have compiz all pimped out with a cool skydome and everything....its beautiful, i cant lose all that time [23:13] *will [23:13] im wondering if i should use, lpd/lpr host, or IPP, or HTTP, or appsocket jetdirect, or backend .... to set up hp 6310 [23:13] cache_surplus: I have 25 yrs with unix/linux but just a few weeks with this and its a challange [23:14] hey i have a need to sync files between my big main box and a mobile box... is there a program(or script) to auto sync when ever the mobile computer is on the home wireless network? [23:14] yah, the gui dulls the mind doesnt it ;) [23:14] yes and sudo et al [23:14] magicjoe: Wow, that's a lot of money IMO. To be perfectly honest I would have continued helping you even without any money (and still will), and I'm not sure the best way to accept it. [23:14] cache_surplus: here's a link that is older but will probably still work http://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/hp-officejet-6310-all-one-printer-0 [23:14] x404x: nah... there isn't anything wrong with your network of the IP allocation.. you could try to set a different manual ip address on that machine and then return it to DHCP to see if it frees up that address [23:14] eliofall: haha i was JUST thinking about this while driving home [23:14] I am an old non gui old fart [23:14] i kinda wish i could convert my computer to linux [23:14] but i have to many games on it to be able to play on linux.... [23:14] ira thanks, ill have a look [23:14] * blahsphemer --> ira respect [23:15] iRa i have hplip installed === Geo|Away is now known as MrAnthrope [23:15] Jordan_U: well if you say thats high....i mean, 50 bucks? anyways, we can do it via paypal, or i can mail you a check if youre comfortable sending me your address later through email or something....anyways....lets fix this. PLEASE [23:15] annihilator: dual boot [23:15] i dont want to tho Scunizi [23:16] hm is there a way to manually release it ? like ipconfig /release [23:16] ira that works well with "attached" printers. i have used jetdirect b4 and it worked. just loaded the .ppd file [23:16] i need to change it to another subnet [23:16] Jordan_U: 1980j.andres@gmail.com is my email [23:16] ira i then have issues with printing more than one page... thats totally lame [23:16] annihilator: then you're only left with 2 options.. run ubuntu in virtualbox inside of windows in full screen mode or get another computer [23:16] set the IP to the other subnet with a static IP, then change it back to DHCP and see what happens [23:16] i got another computer that i am installing lubuntu on [23:17] that is my server computer [23:17] yeah it its the computer in my car... i want to sync the the music over samba. i was thinking it shouldnt be to hard to write a script that looked for anything user then the last time it was ran just just use wget to get it off samba [23:17] hm might be scary hehe, the other modem is wide open and allocates one ip for each pc on the internet [23:17] cache_surplus: guess I need to watch my language [23:17] so another random ip might be someone elses [23:17] magicjoe: I've made an image of a working wubi boot directory. Hopefully you can use that to get your wubi booting again. [23:17] Jordan_U: i had like 232 updates, and then it removed a bunch of stuff like cups and everything, THEN it was going to install the NEW versions of them, but it froze up, because i was messing with playing a video while it was doing that....so now, its screwed [23:18] x404x: I think your setup is a little too advanced for anyone here to know what your trying to do [23:18] It looks like dpkg --set-selections can take in a file as an argument, but the file looks a little different (it has an "install" next to every single line). Can I add the installs to every line? [23:18] Jordan_U: and my settings will still be there? hopefully? [23:18] magicjoe: Yes. [23:18] x404x: how are you managing your network connections? are you manually setting up files in /etc/sysconfig? or are you using Network Manager? [23:19] net manager [23:19] the server just has one connection [23:19] Jordan_U: ok, worth a shot. so how do i obtain this image, and what do i do with it? lol, im sure you are typing instructions right now, so i will wait [23:19] but i have several pcs here [23:19] whats best plugin to watch divx video streams ? === Stiffler is now known as OCB [23:19] funktionblau: VLC media player [23:20] i used to have a totally crap modem i would have problems loading a google page... [23:20] now i put in an old modem that my isp said would not work and its blazing fast [23:20] x404x: I think your network is a little too complex... or something is mis-configured [23:20] magicjoe so why does site like stagevu still dont work for me ? [23:20] its also wide open lol so i should add a router also i guess [23:21] I think your network would be a lot better managed with a router, also secure things up [23:21] ira ? [23:21] yes i know , are jensen routers any good ? [23:21] funktionblau: im not sure. im sort of a noob. all i know is that vlc (available in synaptic) plays .avi, .flv, and any other video type i have came across === OCB is now known as TuonO [23:22] cache_surplus: what [23:22] x404x: is this a corporate setup or just a home network? [23:22] i have 4 diff kinds and am not sure what is most stable [23:22] home network [23:22] :DD kk [23:22] i need it running for 3 months while on holiday [23:22] my old router would get hot and sometimes lock up [23:22] x404x: I'm not familiar with Jensen... I use Buffalo [23:23] ira you said something about watching your language? [23:23] I think i misread a response [23:23] x404x: make sure to turn off your wireless when away... that's the biggest culprit for heat in your modems [23:23] x404x: err, router [23:23] i uses to have a thomson st780 modem, but i cant stand it, web interface never works and last few days it barely connects at all [23:24] * hashashin nas [23:24] x404x: do you do a lot of data transferring? [23:24] now i use an old billion 5100SM [23:24] the server downloads from usenet and i remote admin it [23:25] not a fast line anyway lol [23:25] make sure you turn of QoS, that's possibly why your modems and routers get hung up [23:25] Jordan_U: You still there? [23:25] turn off QoS* [23:25] whats qos ? [23:25] quality of service [23:26] is there a ubuntu networking channel I could ask some Q's in? [23:26] hm i must have forgotten to order that lol. ;=) never heard of it [23:26] (wireless USB dongle) [23:26] quality of service, it's a monitor that prioritizes network traffic... I've noticed in consumer grade routers that the router gets overwhelmed and they lock up [23:26] hm , the thomson had something called intrusion detection is it like that ? [23:27] x404x: it's in most modern routers produced in the last 6 years [23:27] i'm running a Dell Inspiron 1545 and i can't get my function keys to work properly [23:27] x404x: that's part of it [23:27] was disabled by default and had to be enabled in telnet [23:27] i can't do f2 + fn and turn on my wireless [23:27] Jordan_U: Please tell me you are there? [23:28] x404x: I had an SMC router that had the same feature labeled as Intrusion Detection... as soon as I turned it off my router stopped locking up [23:28] magicjoe: I am. It's just taking a while to make the modifications needed for things to work on your setup. [23:28] Jordan_U: ok awesome. [23:29] hm so they spend the memory just to make it lock up ? sounds like quality products [23:29] will it overload on a 1-2 mbit line ? [23:29] is there a ubuntu networking channel I could ask some Q's in? (interested in troubleshooting ndiswrapper) [23:30] x404x: they're just consumer grade, they aren't for heavy usage, especially if your doing a lot of file transferring over p2p or usenet [23:30] sup guys, so you have a meeting with a guy in the senior department of SME (Small Medium Enterprises) and he's looking for a way to build infastructure for his bank to provide businesses... what would you recommend? [23:30] how can i put my computer into sleep/standy through ssh? also wake it up? [23:30] is there a linux/ubuntu specific keyboard that's any good? [23:30] infid whats a linux specific keyboard? [23:30] infid: zareason.com sells one with Tux on the keyboard instead of the Windows logo [23:31] i loved my old netgear box it ran fine for years but then started to lock up, can they rot ? [23:31] wonder if i added too many rules to it [23:31] They can get a lot of dust in them causing them to overheat [23:32] dude, apple keyboards rock [23:32] hm yeah it does get kinda hot, maybe i should check that [23:32] add some heatsinks [23:32] FarmCretin: one without windows keys, maybe somethin that says 'super' instead [23:32] magicjoe: Ok. Run "sudo mv /media/wubi/boot/ /media/wubi/boot-broken/". [23:32] maco seen that one, is it any good? [23:32] petsounds: hey! [23:32] infid: felt pretty nice to type on when i tried it at SELF [23:32] I had a friend of mine take an old router that crashed all the time, he cracked it open, add a heatsink and the thing has been running just fine ever since [23:33] roxy, sup roxy PM me [23:33] anyone know if jensen airlink routers are good ? I got a bunch cheap from my old isp, then again if they where worth anything they wouldnt give them out cheap right ? [23:33] x404x: exactly right [23:34] Jordan_U: DONE [23:34] hi is there is way to copy (clone) of a drive to iso file ? with mount?

[23:39] Jordan_U: the live cd i am running was 64 bit, from comp at school...my desktop with wubi, i don't think is 64 bit.... [23:39] Jordan_U: were you looking at the stuff from the live cd instance of linux, or the wubi, and windows specs? [23:40] magicjoe: You shouldn't have had a problem chrooting into a 32 bit system from a 64 bit liveCD.

[23:53] Scunizi: usb is connected directly to adjacent wprinter [23:53] no [23:53] but If I do something like in the command line: . ./.bash_profile [23:54] so what should i do? i don't have LiveCD neither the windows 7 recovery cd [23:54] to re run the bash_profile configuration values and enable in the shell [23:54] oh sorry pragma. i did a clean install [23:54] and from there, run eclipse, is able to detect my Java installation [23:54] what am I doing wrong ? [23:54] with ubuntu 10.10 cd [23:54] Jordan_U: 60%.....for 15MB this is taking a while! [23:54] KRISHi: thank you... what applications do you have running? [23:55] Do I have to move the settings from bash_profile to another file ? HELP! [23:55] cache_surplus: ok.. then when you set the printer as static use a low ip number to eliminate conflicts on your network.. something like 192.168.0.50 or .2 .. and plug the printer into the printserver using ethernet cabling [23:55] many.... like vlc, chrome, firefox etc [23:55] SourApple: I can't remember how I fixed it... took a lot of trial and error, I will try to find a link to the site I used to solve my issue... I eventually just started to set up my systems with a dual boot with two seperate partitions [23:55] it happens with all the apps [23:55] KRISHi: when the "sluggishness" happens, open a terminal and do 'top' to see what's using the most resources [23:55] magicjoe: I'm using 3G wireless for internet access because my main connection died due to snow. That's why it's so slow. [23:55] KRISHi: what make and model is your computer? [23:56] Scunizi: network config is fine, continue... [23:56] Scunizi: so use an eth cable instead of usb? correct [23:56] Jordan_U: its ok, i can live....there is activity so thats a good sign! :) [23:56] mine is acer 4736z with pentium dual core 2.1 ghz 3 gb ram [23:56] i will try that now. brb [23:56] excuse me for newbie question, but if i use clonezilla for a WIN drive is it work? [23:57] New0: it supports it, so it should do [23:57] tnx [23:57] •pragmaticenigma• i did installed them in 2 seperate partitions but it's weird~ [23:57] KRISHi: as yeats mentioned... open a terminal (under your Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run the command "top"... it will tell you what program is running and taking up all the system resources [23:57] install* [23:57] SourApple: You said you did a WUBI installation right? [23:57] yeah [23:57] and i notice there is two different version to divian and ubuntu, is that metter ? [23:58] or may be i sould just follow the instruction [23:58] okie thanks for that but what to do then after...?? [23:58] *should [23:58] KRISHi: you have to do find out what's going wrong before anyone could offer a solution [23:58] SourApple: WUBI doesn't do a partition, instead it loads a special file on your windows drive and a special loader [23:59] im starting to think this wireless print server was designed to support only a laptop/desktop connected to it... and nothing else. however this set up has worked before [23:59] KRISHi: if you find a program using a lot of the CPU, tell us here and we can help you further [23:59] yeats: ur right [23:59] •pragmaticenigma• uh-huh... ok, waiting for the link [23:59] New0: follow the guide
