[00:00] cache_surplus: sorry I thought you printer was wireless :>( [00:00] but when this sluggishness happens.. i cannot move the cursor or do anything.... its just like a system jam! caps lock & nums also becomes blocked [00:00] so how to open terminal in that condition? [00:01] dmesg has constant outputting of "radeon 0000:01:00.0: ffff8800ad380000 reserve failed for wait", should i be concerned? [00:01] ira no and yeah, i thought i made that clear. [00:01] np [00:01] OMG it's a uge file [00:01] *huge [00:01] cache_surplus: you did but I missed it, now your problemos make more sense [00:02] anyone remember the command for rebuilding grub configuration file in 10.10 [00:02] thanks, yah its tough repeating things over and over lol when there has been missunderstanding [00:02] cache_surplus: I thought I was just getting old [00:02] this guy in the other room just told me i cant have an ip via usb lol [00:02] cache_surplus: yes.. cable.. [00:02] cache_surplus: not usb [00:03] hmmm maybe i shoudl turn off UPnP, so it doesnt get and 2 ips anymore [00:04] SourApple: Do you get an error message while trying to boot Ubuntu? Are you able to still boot into windows? [00:05] cache_surplus: I could troubleshoot your problem, but my daughter took my other printer I had working the other day === OMGIPZ is now known as MandragoR1 [00:05] i bet that was the issue.... however, i know have the eth connected to the eth port on printer... sighs... [00:06] brb gonna reconfig back to usb [00:06] reload each device [00:06] plz help guys... im a lover of ubuntu since 9.10 [00:06] •pragmaticenigma• no i can't boot into any os [00:06] Jordan_U: 96% less than a minute!!! [00:06] SourApple: oh, that's not good... why don't you have recovery disks for your Windows 7 install? [00:07] im pretty sure manual said i can not use both an eth and usb combo at the same time, just one or the other. === ring2 is now known as ring0 [00:08] cache_surplus: the printer may have said that but the print server might have issues with it. [00:08] Scunizi: true [00:08] •pragmaticenigma• i got my laptop with no recovery discs :S ... [00:08] Hey guys, i've been playing with the remote destkop, and I've been wondering if there's any way to set a remote desktop to one of the desktop switchers on the bottom-right. Anyone know how to achieve this effect? [00:08] Scunizi: but its pingable, and manageable [00:08] shrugs [00:08] Jordan_U: OK and we are good!!! Now what? [00:09] cache_surplus: yea.. but there may be intermittant conflicts/issues [00:09] SourApple: They recovery stuff is probably on a seperate partition and you should have been prompted to burn the disks when you first logged into your laptop... that's going to make this really difficult [00:10] magicjoe: Run "tar -C /media/wubi/ -xf /media/wubi/boot_dir.tar.gz". [00:10] magicjoe: After running that you should now have a /media/wubi/boot/ with kernel images in it. [00:10] Scunizi: like high network traffic or broadcast storms? [00:10] cache_surplus: perhaps.. [00:10] •pragmaticenigma• grub is the problem here? or os ? [00:10] the pings are sparatic lately [00:11] im trying to use winff, but when i try to encode, it asks for encoder libxvid.. so i installed everything that the synaptic package manager had regarding "libxvid" and i still get that message looking for libxvid. do you guys know of a better program to encode to avi?? [00:11] i get 100 ms and low numbers, then 200 here and there [00:11] test [00:11] magicjoe: And could you now tell me the output of "uname -m"? [00:11] i have noticed that lately [00:11] SourApple: It sounds like the MBR on your main harddrive is lost, and I have no idea how to get it back... what exactly happens when you boot up? [00:11] Jordan_U: i686 [00:11] ok thanks for ur help guys [00:11] bye [00:11] cache_surplus: perhaps it has to do with the print server and how it identifies the printer.. if the identification from USB and ehternet is the same internal to the printserver then you could have conflicts. [00:12] Jordan_U: and how do i verify the kernel is there? [00:12] hello ai from brazil [00:12] magicjoe: That's 32 bit, 64 bit would be "x86_64". [00:12] Jordan_U: yeah but didn't you just give me a 64 bit one? [00:12] anyone have experience setting up wview weather program on ubuntu 10.10 [00:13] i need help diagnosing and solving a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 install. everything irunning very slowly, most programs wont run including firefox and opera. Xterm takes a good 45 seconds to get me to the command prompt etc etc [00:13] •pragmaticenigma• i only face grub rescue [00:13] magicjoe: The liveCD you're using is 32 bit, your wubi installation is 64 bit. [00:13] Jordan_U: OK. so what should i do now? just reboot it? [00:13] k, that's promising, however, I'm not sure how to get it fixed for you :-/ [00:13] magicjoe: Yes. [00:14] Anyone know how to restore GRUB from GRUB Rescue for SourApple? [00:14] cache_surplus: I brb [00:14] Scunizi: thanks [00:15] also its saying it cant get lock like it does when you try to run apt-get more than once, but im not trying to run apt [00:15] Jordan_U: whats the command to make it spit out my cd and restart? [00:15] magicjoe: "reboot" [00:15] yeah when i open firefox it opens a small window with the caption "close firefox" [00:16] sup [00:16] Is there an easier way to install Java? This .rpm file from their website along with their instructions is not working, I get this in my terminal http://pastebin.com/TYNd3gXA [00:16] Terminal doesnt even work [00:16] i could really use some help [00:17] SourApple: Do you have a flash drive? [00:17] can't we all [00:17] SourApple: I would ask for help with recovering and rebuidling your GRUB configuration from GRUB recovery... If it were me I would reinstall the entire system, but that doesn't look like it's an option for oyu [00:18] ..... [00:18] •pragmaticenigma• yeah i would like to know if there is another option, thank you [00:18] i guess im just going to have to reinstall and hope for the best? i mean i dont know what to do, 80% of my applications are failing to start [00:18] SourApple: it looks like Jordan_U is trying to help you [00:19] Jordan_U: well the kernel was there in the grub list! looks good so far! [00:19] •Jordan_U• i think lemme check [00:19] Jordan_U: wait! ok mount mount point /dev/shm does not exist [00:20] Jordan_U: control D will terminate this shell give root password for maintenance [00:21] Jordan_U: and a bunch of failed mountall commands, and and inti status 4, fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 mount of root file system failed [00:22] Jordan_U: at the end is says in parentheses or type control d to continue: dev/loop0: clean, 11746/256000 files, 194557/1024000 blocks [00:22] Put it on Big L [00:22] magicjoe: Try pressing ctrl+D. [00:23] Jordan_U: it restarted the box [00:23] Jordan_U: should i try recovery mode? [00:23] My middle click won't work (It works for opening new tabs but not for the scroll thing), also the backspace button doesn't work to go back in Firefox. Is this a vbox thing (Ubuntu guest, W7 Host) or something dealing with Ubuntu that I'd get help from here? [00:24] magicjoe: Yes. It probably won't boot either but it can't hurt to try. [00:24] A_New_Server: middle click doesnt scroll on ff-for-linux [00:24] A_New_Server, The keybindings are just different. alt+left arrow goes back [00:24] where is the software source file kept? [00:24] Jordan_U: so, im screwed? :( [00:24] laptop wifi randomly disconnects (10.10) and then never be able to get connected unless reboot. saw this in log "net_ratelimit: 14 callbacks suppressed" . Anyone know how to fix? [00:24] maco, alright, thanks [00:24] edbian: isnt it alt+left on windows too? [00:25] maco, oh, maybe [00:25] maco, IDK, who uses windows anymore? [00:25] What is the most stable/fast Ubuntu version before 10.04? [00:25] 8.04 [00:25] edbian, is it possible to change them without editing a whole bunch of different files (to paraphrase: a simple fix)? [00:25] ndxtg: do you know what wireless chip you are using/ [00:26] Jordan_U: WAIT! if i can get to the /etc and back all of that up to my ext hd, can i just run wubi again, and then overwrite with my backed up etc to the /etc? wont that save my settings for everything??? [00:26] I set up sshd to my ubuntu box, but whenever I try to ssh in, I get "Connection timed out" or "Operation timed out". What am I missing? [00:26] A_New_Server, I don't know off the top of my head how to change them. It's in the configuration of firefox somewhere so it's probably a gui. [00:26] Jordan_U: recovery did the same thing by the way [00:26] IsmAvatar, You're not getting to the server. Can you ping it? [00:26] pragmaticenigma: Atheros AR5001 :) [00:26] maco, I googled a bit more and found that you actually can do it in Ubuntu firefox, it's just not enabled by default [00:27] A_New_Server: oh? link? [00:27] ndxtg: I've had the same issue with a broadcom chop that I use... I never figured out the problem [00:27] magicjoe: I think the problem is that the initrd images I gave you are made to boot from an ntfs partition, and don't have fat32 support. [00:27] brb [00:27] maco, for future reference: edit -> preferences -> advanced -> general -> use autoscrolling [00:27] does anyone know how to get GL EXT framebuffer [00:27] maco, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410876 [00:27] A_New_Server, You can tell firefox to listen to whatever key-bindings you want. [00:27] iae galera [00:27] ndxtg: I have to wonder if the chip is overheating or something [00:28] A_New_Server: oh id always thought autoscrolling meant it just starts scrolling when you get to the page, and so it sounded silly. that needs a better name [00:28] Jordan_U: well, in the grub, i see a VISTA loader option..... that tells me, maybe you got the specs from the pc that the live cd was made on....not the specs of my pc that has the wubi. [00:28] maco, I agree. [00:28] pragmaticenigma: oh i see... that maybe the problem my wifi card sits very near HDD [00:28] edbian: yes [00:28] I would have never ever checked that to try it, it's a bad name [00:28] Jordan_U: because i don't have vista on this pc at all, never have. but the school pc i made the live cd on was running vista [00:28] magicjoe: The windows entry won't work on your machine. [00:29] IsmAvatar, Can you use nmap on the server and if so, do you see ssh open? [00:29] yeah... mine seems to get very warm as well on my dell c400 [00:29] really small formfactor [00:29] magicjoe: No, that's from the test VM I grabbed the /boot/ directory from. [00:29] edbian: not familiar with nmap. I get "nmap: command not found" [00:29] IsmAvatar, sudo aptitude install nmap [00:29] Jordan_U: well i know that won't but this kernel isn't either....so im just asking/guessing that this whatever that is listed in grub that says linux, is meant for the OTHER pc [00:30] IsmAvatar: install it then? [00:30] IsmAvatar, On the server what does ps -e | grep ssh show you? [00:30] xubuntu? [00:30] PC = personal computer! Ubuntu is my PC <3 [00:30] Jordan_U: ok.... so is this give up and start over time? or is there anything we can do from the command line (i can get to it from here without live cd) and fix it? [00:30] edbian: installing nmap. ps tells me ssh-agent is running twice, sshd, and ssh [00:31] IsmAvatar, So ssh is def running. [00:31] IsmAvatar, How are you trying to connect? Describe your network too me [00:31] ndxtg: looks like your not alone, lots of google results [00:31] magicjoe: It is, and that's the problem. I'm trying to see if I can rebuild the initrd with vfat support now. If that fails, you should be still be able to backup your current root.disk, re-install wubi, then copy /boot/ from the new root.disk to the old one, and restore the old root.disk. [00:31] Jordan_U: was my /etc idea any good or worth trying? [00:32] edbian: hang on, just figured out that my router is port forwarding to the wrong ip. [00:32] w [00:33] IsmAvatar, That's the issue. [00:33] IsmAvatar, I pretty much narrowed it down to port forwarding in my head as well. [00:33] HELLO [00:33] cache_surplus: I"m back [00:33] Hi all [00:33] Jordan_U: ok, but i don't follow.....the file is just an image the root.disk, so how can i copy the boot thingy? oh live cd again? and whatnot? [00:33] is back [00:33] Jordan_U: why didnt we just try that from the start? lol [00:34] someone got time to help me with kloxo and dns? [00:34] magicjoe: I didn't realize the extent of the problem at the start :) [00:34] herro, What is kloxo? [00:34] Scunizi: k [00:34] its like cpannel [00:34] !software kloxo [00:34] Is there anybody here using backtrack 4? [00:34] Scunizi: back to wps usb directly conncted to printer [00:34] !info kloxo [00:34] Package kloxo does not exist in maverick [00:35] cache_surplus: why [00:35] !backtrack [00:35] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [00:35] Scunizi: UPnP disabled [00:35] herro, what is cpannel? [00:35] cache_surplus: why usb [00:35] edbian: a typo [00:35] cuz the print server said it does that [00:35] and it worked that b4 [00:35] Jordan_U: if you are up for it, i propose we go that route from here on out. shouldn't be hard to mount the ex hd, and the root.disk file, then copy what i need, then i can just do the wubi, on my own, and basically reverse the steps you teach me ? [00:36] !mint [00:36] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:36] kloxo is like a website control panel [00:36] cache_surplus: ok.. then the print server will probably be the one issuing the ip address to the printer and that is what you'll need to know to print remotely [00:36] its hosted on my vps [00:36] Jordan_U: then you can email me a way to pay you. but i can get the bulk of it done now, and reach a stopping point for the day, but still have a possible solution [00:36] edbian: when you use shared hosting, its the web ui you can use to setup more users and ssh accounts, email, and maybe do some one-click installs of drupal and such [00:36] maco, Thanks [00:36] Scunizi: i agree [00:36] herro, What's the problem? [00:37] edbian: it only has one 'n' though ;-) [00:37] Well i bought a domain off 1and1 and it asked me to enter a domain name for the dns template === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [00:37] Scunizi: i dont know if it issues it, but its connected via usb. so the wps must have a built in printer connector so that the printer is seen on the network, using the wps static ip [00:37] herro, sure [00:38] herro, So who is hosting? A different site than land1 where you bought the domain name? [00:38] its on my vps [00:38] cache_surplus: yes. and the printer doesn't know any different.. it thinks it hooked via usb [00:38] magicjoe: I'm curious if my updated initrd will work. If you don't mind trying one last thing before going the other route. [00:38] Scunizi: each time i set up the printer on ubuntu, i need to put in the ppd file from the list [00:38] herro, What is on your vps? (do you mean vpn?) [00:38] Scunizi: agrees [00:39] no vps vps [00:39] edbian: virtual private server [00:39] cache_surplus: probably.. that's a requirement of "setup" [00:39] herro, Just making sure. [00:39] do i use in connection trop, queue lp [00:39] How do I use the 33g rainbow tables I just downloaded from shmoo? [00:39] herro, What do you mean 'it's on my vps [00:39] guys, im having problems with pidgin and omega msn certificates... for some reason it gives me an error and then it blocks all my contacts... any one find a fix for this? ive tried with some workarround i found on the web but error keeps pumping up... [00:39] herro, What is on it? [00:39] Jordan_U: ok....i booted to the live cd...is that what i need to do? [00:39] or just lpd/lpr quie or appsocket/hp jetdirect [00:39] those are my options [00:39] edbian: i think herro means herro's website will be on herro's vps [00:39] edbian: and needs to somehow make 1and1's dns point to herro's vps's ip address [00:40] I created a RAID-6 array last night with mdadm using metadata version 1.2 and apparently mdadm cannot auto-assemble this array, or rather it doesn't by default and did not when I rebooted. Is the best way to have it create the md device and assemble the array every boot in mdadm.conf? [00:40] maco, I think you're on to something there. [00:40] cache_surplus: depends on the print server.. since it's wireless it's probably making the translation from ipp to usb.. I don't think you can access from your machine with lpd/lpr [00:40] HELLO ALL [00:40] herro, Can you confirm this? Does the ip address of the server work? Where does the domain point right now? [00:40] also the recommended driver is, hpijs vs hpcups [00:40] Hi [00:40] help [00:40] Root_Hack, hello [00:40] a couple hours ago I asked for help with a GRLDR problem, was advised to boot from liveCD and reinstall grub2 [00:40] Hi [00:40] its to the new domain page [00:40] but there are 3 6310 models to choose lol [00:40] like a page set by them [00:41] I just finished making a CD, I'm wondering how i reinstall grub2 [00:41] 630, 630v, 6310xi [00:41] Jordan_U: im at command prompt in the live cd again [00:41] How do I use the 33g rainbow tables I just downloaded from shmoo? [00:41] cache_surplus: I think you have to use ipp [00:41] where can i find the driver of hp deskjet 2050 for my scanner ?? [00:41] thanks [00:41] Root_Hack: this isnt a cracking channel [00:41] opps 6310, 6310v, 6310xi [00:41] i have ju;inx and xp on the hard drive.how to i go to xp??????????? [00:41] Scunizi: oh? [00:41] Scunizi: ipp huh, ok, i think so as well. [00:41] herro, Yeah, so you have to log onto that website (the website where you bought the domain) and point it at the IP address of your server. I don't know how to do this. Every domain registrar is different. Somewhere on their website. [00:41] magicjoe: Yes. Run "mkdir /media/windows; mkdir /media/wubi/; mount /dev/sdb5 /media/windows/; mount -o loop /media/windows/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /media/wubi/". [00:41] Root_Hack: and backtrack isn't supported here either [00:42] cache_surplus: depends on the print server.. you'll need to look in it's instructions on how to access usb printers and decypher from there. [00:42] Funny. Where can I go? [00:42] Quick question - does anyone know why Firefox seems to all of sudden slow down or not respond after I been using it for a while? Is that a problem with the browser or with Ubuntu? Whenever I restart and start over (log back in), then it seems to be fine. So that's why I have reason to believe it is a problem with Ubuntu ... [00:42] Sorry,.And thanks. [00:42] Hello, Where can i find the driver of hp deskjet 2050 for my scanner ?? [00:42] Scunizi: im getting host, and queue, and when i verify it says, the print share is not accessible [00:42] mlmg317-himts, Install another browser and try it. Then you'll know if it is firefox or the OS [00:43] mlmg317-himts: do you have a lot of plugins installed? [00:43] nobody knows how to install grub2? [00:43] cache_surplus: hummmm... maybe you need samba .. it sounds like the print server becomes a "share" off the network.. I don't know enough about it to guide you there. [00:44] !grub2 | Anniepoo [00:44] Anniepoo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:44] Scunizi: you think its a windows share issue? [00:44] my smb server is freebsd [00:44] cache_surplus: perhaps.. [00:45] it used to show up in there, but i have tightned it down... note, this wps is using ip of wrouter, so i dont see how a samba server would interfere with it.. [00:45] Where can i find the driver of hp deskjet 2050 for my scanner ?? [00:45] Scunizi: when im not using samba at all to handle print queue [00:45] Scunizi: not even configured on smb srv [00:45] 'edbian' OK - I'll try Opera for a while - and see if I have the same issues. Opera is a little faster anyway - because it caches everything before displaying it, I think. How do you enter in a username like this again: ??? [00:46] Jordan_U:hang on playing catchup [00:46] mlmg317-himts, I'm sorry I don't know what you're asking? How do you enter in a username ?

[00:46] cache_surplus: but is the print server using samba ? [00:46] ok [00:46] nope [00:46] edbian: ok, port forwarding to the right address now, still not getting through to ssh, though, Operation timed out. [00:47] its a little cheapo with a usb port, eth port and is about the size of a pack of cigs [00:47] cache_surplus: well.. you mentioned that the "print share is not accessible".. I read that as a samba issue [00:47] IsmAvatar, I'm not convinced that it's forwarded correctly because it's timing out. [00:47] thats an error ubuntu throws [00:47] edbian: I just forget how to reference the user you are wanting to address - by getting this IRC chat software to get the username in between the <______> ? [00:47] sombody can help me ?? [00:47] !tabcomplete [00:47] !autocomplete [00:47] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

I'm literally just typing your name (and using the tab key) [00:47] i need help please [00:47] Scunizi: when using lp, ipp, lpd, when pressing verify button. [00:48] mlmg317-himts, You don't have to type anything extra besides their name. [00:48] mlmg317-himts [00:48] mlmg317-himts, see? [00:48] Jordan_U: OK did that! [00:48] magicjoe: Now run "cd /media/wubi/boot/ && mv initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic-bad && wget http://jordanu.dyndns.org/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic" [00:48] please i need help [00:48] hartock: Ask it. [00:48] edbian: OK, got it! Thanks! [00:48] IsmAvatar, Can you give me the details of how it's forwarded? [00:48] mlmg317-himts, no problem.

[00:50] edbian: you get a BIG sticker, a smile, and maybe a small trophy :) I LOVE LINUX too! If I could afford a Mac, though - I might get one as well! FORGET WINDOWS! BLEH! I can't remember what else you have helped me with, but I do remember them being significant issues - including informing me about antivirus/virus stuff, etc. [00:50] Scunizi: no lol [00:50] hartock: the linux drivers for scanning do not support your scanner [00:50] thanks a lot i will try [00:50] :) [00:51] PS2 and im not much the gamer, family uses it. [00:51] mlmg317-himts, ha ha :) thanks glad I could help :) [00:51] cache_surplus: sounds like an hp driver but that's all I know. Have you got another wireless router lying around that can act as an access point? === Rabbitbu2ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [00:52] Scunizi: thinking bout directly connecting the 2nd router to wps? [00:52] Jordan_U: OK must have done that right, its downloading [00:52] I've got a chicken and egg syndrom.. just installed "server" on a laptop with a Broadcom BCM4401 eth0 card.. sudo lshw shows the card and static ip address I setup and a b44 driver that it's chosen.. however it's not connecting.. any help is apriciated. [00:53] cache_surplus: no.. if it's wireless it can stand-a-lone and connect to the printer via ethernet like any normal networked device.. I suspect that the wps is the issue here.. [00:53] Scunizi: believe you need to load proprietary drivers under system > admin > addtional drivers, but thats tricky since you dont have internet [00:54] cache_surplus: and I don't have a gui in the server [00:54] magicjoe: That's odd, because according to my network statistics and apache logs you don't appear to be downloading anything from me. [00:54] hi all [00:54] Hey everyone [00:54] Scunizi: my admin and telnet work fine to this wps [00:54] Sorry if I'm being rude but this is my first time in here. Is this where I'd come to ask questions if I was having issues with Ubuntu? [00:54] Scunizi: where does UPnP setting come in here,, i think thats the only variable left [00:54] anyone know why samba has trouble finding shares on my netowrk? [00:55] Scunizi: i have it set to off now, and when i do, it takes up an ip from the router [00:55] hello friend channel ubuntu [00:55] Jordan_U: it says jordanu.dyndns.org and an ipaddress on port 80! 28k/s!!! [00:55] Jordan_U, hello. [00:55] so now i have both a static and UPnP dulled out IP [00:55] jaoziN: Hi. [00:55] Jordan_U: NOW 48k/s!!! [00:55] cache_surplus: turn it back on but before doing that turn off the printer.. turn on UPnP .. then turn the printer back on after a few seconds. [00:55] k [00:55] brb [00:55] I'm having an issue with ubuntu refusing to boot after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. I'm wondering if someone could give me some advice? [00:56] Jordan_U, you have solution for my problem wireless network? [00:56] cabbit: Well, we'll need more details. [00:56] cabbit, Do you get any errors? Why won't it boot? Can you get to a shell? [00:56] Jordan_U: 60% but slowed to 5k/s [00:57] Scunizi: should i also leave second http port 9100 enabled? [00:57] wonder if someone can giveme some tips on supercollider [00:57] Scunizi: says for remote web config and IPP printing [00:57] mac rendezvous is off [00:57] cache_surplus: not sure.. but one thing at a time when enabling stuff [00:57] k [00:57] cache_surplus: ah.. if it says that then yes.. [00:57] SpaceGhost/edbian: Currently it does through bios startup fine, and freezes solid on a screen of the ubuntu logo and five orange dots spaced horizontally below it. Is there a key I can press on startup to enable a more verbose response? [00:57] Jordan_U, o mesmo esta escrito no forum http://ubuntuforum-br.org/index.php/topic,74995.0.html [00:58] well 9100 was enabled, and it didnt work, i will kill it, and only UPnP now [00:58] brb [00:58] magicjoe: I wasn't seeing the upload because my network applet is apparently just not working at the moment. I see it now. [00:58] cabbit, press shift before the Ubuntu screen. Select recovery mode from the list of kernels [00:58] How do I make sure the B44 driver is active and functional? via cli? [00:58] edbian: Okay, give me a few minutes to try that. Thanks :) [00:58] Jordan_U: much faster speed! [00:58] !br | jaoziN [00:58] jaoziN: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [00:59] #ubuntu-br [00:59] pragmaticenigma: actually, I do have a lot plugins installed. So is this the problem with Firefox slowing down? Does Firefox constantly reference these or something - as its operating? [00:59] Scunizi: ok, next logical question, should i use the UPnP ip or the static one assigned when searching? [00:59] Scunizi: whats the industry standard answer? lol [00:59] jaoziN: "/join #ubuntu-br" [01:00] cache_surplus: since the printer is usb then use the UPnP ip.. right now I think the printers static IP is strictly for the ethernet connections. [01:00] Jordan_U: OK done!!! [01:00] Scunizi: or admin from the web, either or ip work by the way currently when admin'ing it [01:00] mlmg317-himts, The more plugins you're running the "bigger" firefox is. One of them might have a memory leak. This means it gets bigger and bigger until it is so big that the OS says 'enough is enough' and freezes firefox [01:00] magicjoe: Try rebooting. If it fails this time then just backup your root.disk and start re-installing. [01:01] ok, i try the UPnP but may change, thats the bad thing, its dhcp'd [01:01] sighs.. [01:01] brb [01:01] mlmg317-himts, Try experimenting with various plugins not on [01:01] cache_surplus: but one is the print server and the other is the printserver built into the printer [01:01] mlmg317-himts, also make sure they're all up to date. [01:01] Scunizi: ic [01:01] Jordan_U: if this fails, i need ur help to backup that thing ur talking about [01:02] Scunizi: that even sounds like it will work with any smb issue or network sharing lol, UPnP [01:02] Jordan_U: kernel panic, not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0,0 [01:02] cache_surplus: if this all fails plug the printer directly into a computer and set it up there. make sure it works then move it back to the print server.. (grasping straws here) [01:03] edbian: Okay, I've got the recovery menu loaded, which option should I choose? [01:04] Jordan_U: Ok, back to the drawing board! so, can u just help me mount my ext hd, backup what i need to, then just tell me how to replace it later [01:04] cabbit, What options does it give you? [01:04] I just switched to kde and my soundcard is not availible, is there anyone who can help me? [01:04] Scunizi: NOGO, not seeing it or printing test page under lp [01:04] cabbit, There is one that boots all the way to the desktop. Did you see any problems listed while the text was scrolling? [01:04] Scunizi: yah thats a good idea there [01:04] edbian: resume, clean, dpkg, failsafex, grub, netroot, root [01:04] magicjoe: Ok. To backup the root.disk simply copy it (or move it) from C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk to anywhere outside of the Ubuntu directory (your desktop will work). [01:04] but how ubuntu handles it, i will need to still set up new printer [01:04] edbian: I didn't see any error in the text that scrolled by before the menu came up, but it went by pretty quick [01:05] cache_surplus: yep [01:05] edbian: you rock! THAT would be problem. I hit the radial button in "Manage Content Plugins" that said "Plugins In Use" - and it showed nothing. But let me just make sure they are up-to-date. Shouldn't Firefox prompt you for updates automatically, though? I thought so, but ... [01:05] cache_surplus: or it may just recognize it when you plug the usb cable in [01:05] cabbit, I know it goes fast. try resume. It should boot all the way to the desktop [01:05] edbian: resume claims to just resume booting, so that should take me to the desktop. [01:05] here let me ask this,, do most printers today use, appsocket, hp jetdirect, ipp, lpd [01:05] kk [01:05] most common [01:05] mlmg317-himts, Yeah I think firefox watches them for you. [01:05] cache_surplus: the answer is "yes" :) [01:05] Jordan_U: so i don't need to go back to the live cd? and mount the ext hd? [01:05] cabbit, yes [01:06] ok, I tried to boot from the CD, it gives me the choice of 'try ubuntu' or 'install' [01:06] magicjoe: No, you can do it from within windows. [01:06] cache_surplus: my samsung laser color does ipp, my brother laser b&w does lpd to ipp conversion in software [01:06] Jordan_U: i need to be able to mount the image to extract the boot part of the root.disk file though right? [01:06] How? [01:07] especially since nobody snow on seems sure how to deal with this. [01:07] magicjoe: Yes. [01:07] Jordan_U: ok, so you are saying do this all from windows? i just want to know what im doing lol [01:07] magicjoe: Backup the root.disk and re-install wubi within windows. Then we can copy the /boot directory over between the images from the LiveCD. [01:07] Jordan_U: while i have the live cd at root command prompt, is there anything we need to do NOW? [01:08] edbian: Okay, resume got me to a shell prompt after i logged in. [01:08] Jordan_U: ok gotcha, rebooting [01:08] cabbit, no errors? [01:08] cabbit, Just a shot in the dark, couldn't hurt. log in and run sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [01:09] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 dual boot with xp pro on an AMD64 system. After the latest auto-update from synaptic GRUB complains can't find GRLDR [01:09] edbian: A message about JIRA not being properly installed, but that shouldn't affect it. I'll give the aptitude thing a shot === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [01:09] I received instructions on this list to make a livecd, boot from that, and install grub2 [01:09] cabbit, k [01:09] cabbit, dmesg gives generic errors [01:10] cabbit, sudo gdm should start graphics [01:10] attempting to boot from the livecd disk with the 'try ubuntu' button results in a lot of CD activity and not much else for > 10 mins [01:11] Is there anyone here who is using Evolution with Exchange on Ubuntu 10.04 or later? [01:11] edbian: aptitude command not found. it shows up with find, so might just not be on my $PATH [01:12] XXXXXX [01:12] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [01:12] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [01:12] Anniepoo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] edbian: "dmesg | grep failed" returns one line 'resume from disk failed' [01:12] cabbit, just use apt-get [01:12] does anyone know if the Logitech G 15 has Linux drivers? [01:13] where can I learn about the 'tag' option available when I right click a file in nautilus? [01:13] cabbit, That's not an error. It always checks to see if the previous up ended in hibernation. [01:13] kk [01:14] edbian: 'sudo apt-get install aptitude' results in an error about dpkg being interrupted, must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct. I'm going to give that a shot [01:14] so the direction we're headed is that on the desktop is ubuntu and netbooks and tablets will have Chrome OS? [01:14] cabbit, That is a good idea :) I bet if you resolve this you will fix it [01:15] edbian: awesome, thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. [01:15] cabbit, sure [01:15] congratulations Ubuntu , i just took an old ide drive with 9.04 on it and upgraded to 10.04, and everything works like new. [01:16] amazing [01:16] ok im out [01:16] hola [01:16] i havea cm11 hooked into my serial port -- how do i find the /dev/ this is hooked up to? [01:16] is it /dev/ttyS0? [01:16] isn't there a way to tell? [01:17] bonhoffer, Does the who command work? [01:17] i [01:17] bonhoffer, Should list where you're logged in [01:17] edbian, thanks [01:17] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 dual boot with xp pro on an AMD64 system. After the latest auto-update from synaptic GRUB complains can't find GRLDR [01:17] so i have tty7 pts/0 and 1 and 2 [01:17] bonhoffer, Did it work? [01:18] so i imagine the serial port would be tty7? [01:18] bonhoffer, tty7 is the graphics. [01:18] bonhoffer, That sounds like who on the local machine [01:18] what are pts/0 pts/1 and pts/2 [01:18] Jordan_U: OK, so root.disk is on my desktop, but the uninstaller does nothing when i double click it! [01:18] tty7 is a system console, can't be a serial console [01:18] edbian, yeah i am on a local machine [01:18] bonhoffer, pts/0 pts/1 and pts/2 are x terminals [01:18] edbian, ah, thanks [01:18] pts are pseudo-tty's, which are used by terminal emulators [01:18] Jordan_U: trying through control panel now [01:19] so i just plugged in this x10 into my serial port [01:19] can i ping it or something to see if it is at ttyS0? [01:19] that shows up in /dev/ but so do 50 other tty's [01:19] ttySx is serial terminals innit [01:19] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [01:19] hola [01:19] tensorpudding, so i imagine that ttyS0 is correct [01:20] hola [01:20] fabio [01:20] no other serial device is loaded, but how can i be sure [01:20] dmesg should show all the serial devices that the kernel knows about [01:20] Jordan_U: NOPE even in control panel, if i try to uninstall wubi, it says do not have access to F:\ubuntu\uninstall-wubi.exe [01:20] is there a way to change the music player in indicator applet to something else? [01:20] klok men que tiempo tienes usando este medio de chat [01:20] huge output -- what should i grep for tensorpudding [01:20] 6 meses [01:20] ok [01:20] y tu ? [01:20] not really sure [01:21] hoy!!! [01:21] probably the driver for whatever it is you're using [01:21] Jordan_U: do i just delete the files? or just run the installer again? [01:21] sabes que tienes que hablar solo en ingles verdad?? [01:21] tensorpudding, can i print to the serial port or something to see if it is active [01:21] y la transferrencia de archios es rapida pòr aqui [01:21] thefatloverboy_: por favor, #ubuntu-es [01:21] send some type of message to it [01:21] ok [01:21] no lo sabia [01:22] bonhoffer: not sure what you mean [01:22] fuck [01:22] what exactly is this device? a printer? [01:22] tensorpudding, thought i could try to communicate with the serial device? [01:22] well the fat see you next time [01:22] this is a wireless module which controls home automation equipment [01:23] tensorpudding, it is a transmitter [01:23] but you can get into this one [01:23] ubuntu-es [01:23] i have a Q about dd [01:23] are you sure it's supported by Linux? [01:23] tensorpudding, yes [01:23] it is built for linux [01:23] if i backup my drive to iso [01:24] http://pr0gr4mm3r.com/linux/getting-your-x10-cm17a-firecracker-module-working-in-linux/ [01:24] and my drive is 500G but use only 1.5 g [01:24] Jordan_U: Answered that myself lol....just deleted the directory, and now running installer.....root.disk is on desktop......all good? [01:24] is the iso file use 500G too ? [01:24] magicjoe: It may not think wubi is installed since there's no root.disk. Try creating a file named root.disk in ubuntu\disks\. [01:24] New0, The iso will be the size of the partition. [01:25] i believe that ttyS0 corresponds to COM1 [01:25] and so on [01:25] New0, dd works at the bit level. It does not know where files begin or end. It does not recognize used space vs. unused space [01:25] magicjoe: I don't know what will happen if you re-install without uninstalling first. [01:25] o.k. -- so i will assume it is S0 and test to see if it works [01:25] I have created a script to autostart my wifi network on bootup using the rutilIT from RLINK, Unfortunately it ask for an admin password everytime it runs, which is unacceptable because this machine will have no keyboard, does anyone know a way to suppress that admin password request? [01:25] Jordan_U: the file was still there, i only copied it to desktop.....it was somethin else totally.....im risking it! [01:25] tensorpudding, just thought i would be able to ping the port or something [01:25] ok tnx [01:25] i don't know hardware too well, but i know there are os commands to communicate with all ports [01:26] you can cat things to the serial port, but it probably won't do anything [01:26] tensorpudding, fair enough [01:26] edbian: Cool, I'll figure it out from here - THANKS !!! Signing off - catch ya later !!! [01:26] Jordan_U: at this point its the last hope. if this doesnt work, i will thank you for your time and call it a day. i have a paper to write, due tomorrow, and my girlfriend has been wanting me to come over since 230 [01:26] just upgraded and it works great, but, it still says 9.10 instead of 10.04, should i leave it ? [01:26] mlmg317-himts, bye [01:27] I have created a script to autostart my wifi network on bootup using the rutilIT from RLINK, Unfortunately it ask for an admin password everytime it runs, which is unacceptable because this machine will have no keyboard, does anyone know a way to suppress that admin password request? [01:27] Jordan_U: if this works, i will just have to reinstall the whole thing from scratch. and get my compiz and all that setup, and my cairo-dock, its terrible. that will be an all day thing, next weekend. [01:27] anyone know of a home automation channel on irc for ubuntu? [01:27] Jordan_U: i mean if this doesn't work [01:27] x10 folks [01:28] is it the some about clozezilla ? [01:28] *same [01:28] magicjoe: If it doesn't work don't use wubi. Save yourself grief and do a normal install. [01:28] I have a cam. I know that something gets seen under linux because a web page reacted to it. How can I see the image. What can I use to test it? To use it. (Not skype, so far so bad with skype) 10.04, logitech. [01:29] Jordan_U: yeah but then i have to download the iso, burn it, install it, and then go through all the same trouble and headache, updates, and all that. [01:29] will a mac driver work on linux [01:29] Jordan_U: i wish i could take my laptop, and just clone it onto a partition, but the lappy is a powerpc linix......an altogether different demon to face! LOL === bcnice20|Chillin is now known as bcnice20 [01:30] tripelb, start by testing if you webcam works in cheese [01:30] n0a1ias: No. [01:30] edbian is it the same about clonezilla? [01:30] Jordan_U: about 2 minutes on the install left [01:31] edbian: looks like it completed successfully. Should I try installing aptitude now or just restart? [01:32] New0, I don't know how clonezilla works [01:32] cabbit, You don't need aptitude. [01:32] magicjoe: Like I said before, you're lucky that another bug in wubi didn't cause you to lose the ability to boot windows as well : https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/610898 [01:32] cabbit, Try to reboot. [01:32] edbian ok [01:33] firewaterburnz, you put your script in your /etc/rc.local, then it will be executed with root privileges. but it will not have access to your X-display [01:33] Jordan_U: well, if all craps out, i can spend a day installing my os's again, but first can use helix 3 to mount my ext hd, and backup all crucial data, then i can do a true dual boot........lets not curse me just yet though :) [01:33] I have a file which contains all my passwords and usernames. Is there a way I can make them ONLY viewable by superuser? [01:33] ty obst, I will give it a try! [01:33] magicjoe: I don't like bashing projects but I've found additional bugs while looking at the source for wubi to try to help you. Avoid it if you can, for now at least. [01:34] Solved: make the owner be root and set chmod 600 [01:34] Solved: sudo chown root:root file && sudo chmod 600 file [01:34] maco: what commands can I use to do that? I know how to make the owner root though [01:35] Jordan_U: i agree with you. i mean, my lappy dual boots mac and ubuntu, and i love it.....far less problems with it, just harder to find powerpc ports of good programs. but this wubi has given nothng but headaches.....i just don't want to lose my efforts and work on what i have done! [01:35] maco: 1st command ex. sudo chown root: Passwd.odt [01:36] Jordan_U: very close to done with the install [01:36] Solved: root:root [01:37] edbian: "error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found." (newline) "grub rescue > " [01:37] Jordan_U: when it completes, do i let it boot up after the restart and do the initial config, or do i pop in the live cd and just go straight to that? [01:37] Hi! Gui [01:37] maco: can not access `Passwords.odt': No such file or directory [01:37] magicjoe: Initial config probably isn't needed, but do it just to be safe. === draven is now known as draven_sol [01:38] maco: /home/koerber/Documents/Passwords.odt? [01:38] Solved: how am *i* supposed to know where in your filesystem the file is? [01:38] maco: nvm, not what I meant [01:38] edbian: "grub rescue>" appears to be a prompt, not sure what to input [01:38] cabbit, can you not boot Ubuntu anymore? [01:39] cabbit: could start with "help"? [01:39] hi, opening a pdf file makes my cpu to jump up to 90% usage or more. i think it comes, when the pdf contains a lot of big pictures. memory is minimal. how comes that cpu is the bottleneck for wathing pdf's and is there a way to fix it? [01:39] maco: nvm it worked. Thanks a bunch! [01:39] maco: wait how do I access it then [01:39] Solved: np [01:39] is it possible to make an initramfs of my entire filesystem, in this case a fresh virtual machine ubuntu mini install [01:40] Solved: gksudo ooffice Passwords.odt [01:40] edbian: rebooting seemed to go fine, but took me to this screen instead of booting in [01:40] maco: 'unknown command help' [01:40] cabbit, Wait so... are you in Ubuntu? [01:41] maco: is there any way to make it only visible to superuser? [01:41] edbian: I don't believe it's booted in properly. I ran sudo reboot and it started to come back up, I left the room for a second and came back to this [01:41] Jordan_U:rebooting to initial config now. [01:41] cabbit, If you're not getting past grub you're not even close to Ubuntu [01:41] edbian: it looks like it errored out before getting into ubuntu. [01:42] edbian: yeah, this is new though. hm. [01:42] cabbit, yeah [01:42] Solved: put it in a folder that's read-only for superuser? === patrick is now known as Guest43892 [01:42] maco: don't know how to do that :P [01:42] is there a hotkey to move between the different ubuntu windows (not sure of exact name)? [01:42] Solved: put the file in a folder, then do the same 2 commands on that folder [01:42] i've tried googling ;x === root is now known as Guest57648 [01:43] hi [01:43] cabbit, Can you boot recovery mode? [01:43] i know about windows key + e [01:43] shmup: you mean like alt+tab? [01:43] naw, like.. [01:43] edbian: i'll give it a show [01:43] shot [01:43] something that'd just move to the right/left [01:43] shmup: between the workspaces? [01:43] ctrl + 1/2/3/4 would be neat [01:43] yes, that! [01:43] lol [01:43] shmup: try ctrl+alt+left and ctrl+alt+right [01:43] thanks maco ;) [01:43] thats exactly what i meant lol [01:44] maco: thanks a bunch! [01:44] Solved: np [01:44] edbian: Nope, recovery mode is no dice. Hitting shift did nothing, still came up with the same grub xputs error [01:44] cabbit, press shift to get to the grub menu. Can you not even get to that? [01:45] how come nowaday processor doesn't give the speed but just name of the processor ? [01:45] it's confusing me [01:45] i don't know which to buy [01:45] what i see is the higher model number is more expensive [01:45] Jordan_U: it said completing ubuntu installation, now i got the logo on the screen and its changing colors, so that looks like a sign of activity.....its just doing that though [01:45] git__: speeds should be listed with them... [01:45] git__: speeds and amounts of cache should both be listed if you look at specs [01:46] edbian: I've got the grub rescue console but thats about it [01:46] AMD Athlon II X2 Dual-Core P340 [01:46] edbian: it looks like this might be what i'm encountering: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592480 [01:46] spec said that [01:46] Jordan_U: i heard quick write to the hard drive, now don't hear anything....still the logo, does wubi take this long ? [01:46] git__: might have to look at amd's webpage for what P340 refers to then [01:46] git__: this isnt on topic for here though [01:46] cabbit, there ya go [01:46] cabbit, follow that second poster's advice. The admin [01:47] git__: whatever vendor you're buying from seems rather silly though, not giving decent specs [01:48] the battery indiactor and bluetooth control and volume are not showing in the add list of the top panel? [01:48] ? [01:48] sl33k_: the volume at least is part of the sound indicator [01:48] magicjoe: I don't know. [01:48] is there any way to make my wireless signal on ubuntu as reliable as it is on windows? i'm getting disconnected every few minutes [01:48] sl33k_: perhaps you're missing the entire indicator applet thing? [01:48] Jordan_U:should i leave it alone? or just hard reboot it? [01:49] maco: i searched the add to panel thjing, they are not there? [01:49] Jordan_U: there is NO activity at all on the HD [01:49] edbian: Sounds like a plan. I'll follow those instructions once I can find a cd or usb key somewhere. Thanks for all your help :) [01:49] magicjoe: Never hard reboot a wubi install (if you can help it). [01:49] cabbit, good luck! [01:49] !sysrq | magicjoe [01:49] magicjoe: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [01:52] Jordan_U: that did nothing! so im going for the hard reboot! [01:53] tensorpudding, /dev/ttyS0 doesn't seem to be working [01:53] i am not getting any response [01:54] anyone /dev/ttys1 returned no error, but i got no response [01:54] isn't there a hardware manager which explains which ports are available [01:54] boa noite [01:54] i only have one serial port [01:54] magicjoe: You just can't be content with only one problem can you? ;) [01:54] pesso alguem bom de linux ai para dar suporte ???????????????????????????????????????? [01:54] i room [01:55] My ubuntu is not loading anymore [01:55] and there are no errors [01:55] Jordan_U: i did the hard reboot, and it came back to the grub, and i went in and selected the it and NOW this time it got past the logo! [01:55] any knows how i can fix in gnome the bar in the top on the window i mean where is min max close http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/623/barwindow.jpg [01:55] Jordan_U: OK got some errors! [01:55] I have a cam. I know that something gets seen under linux because a web page reacted to it. How can I see the image. What can I use to test it? To use it. (Not skype, so far so bad with skype) 10.04, logitech. [01:55] !controls | Kurogane [01:55] Kurogane: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [01:56] cp cannot stat custon installation/initrd-override no such file or directory [01:56] tripelb: cheese [01:56] What application can I use to see the image from my cam. The logitech software is windows [01:56] izinucs, ok will find it and try it. [01:57] tripelb: sudo apt-get install cheese [01:57] Jordan_U: well, should i go to the live cd now? and try it? its saying ntfs pread failed and stdin error [01:57] izinucs: you see the imagen? [01:57] how do I restore last good configurations in ubuntu?? [01:57] so i haven't had this vps very long, and rather new. [01:57] 65 packages can be updated. 26 updates are security updates. [01:57] should i get on that? :P [01:57] i haven't a clue HOW to update, though. [01:57] Jordan_U: also it says cannot mount /dev/sda1 on /tmpmountpoint [01:57] daniel, not really an available option i'm afraid [01:58] How can I learn what ext does differently so we do not need to defragment. [01:58] ZykoticK9: so if the ubuntu stops loading at startuo... you cant do anything? [01:58] Kurogane: oh.. sorry.. I just read the one post and assumed you were talking about the controls.. sorry I don't know the fix for your issue [01:58] shmup, sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [01:58] magicjoe: You have to boot into windows, where it will notice that the filesystem wasn't unmounted cleanly and will run chkdsk. [01:58] daniel, you can - there just isn't a "last known good" or system restore type option [01:59] Jordan_U: something about softraid/fakeraid, run chksdk /f on windows and reboot twice..... [01:59] ZykoticK9: I am able to get into the recovery [01:59] ZykoticK9: but what can you do there [01:59] izinucs: thanks anyways [01:59] daniel: the rescue kernel on the grub menu will put you to a terminal prompt to fix things.. if you know what's wrong [01:59] Is there a way to make something unzip a zip file into a directory that's named as the file is rather than the current one from the CLI without scripting? [01:59] ZykoticK9: I installed a ATI driver [01:59] Jordan_U: so there is still hope? [02:00] ZykoticK9: and now it wont load [02:00] daniel, ahh - sorry i can't help with ATI issues, best of luck. [02:00] magicjoe: Yes. Follow the directions. [02:00] izinucs: the thing that is wrong is that I installed a ATI driver [02:00] and it does not boot at startup [02:01] Jordan_U: LOL well, now they are off the screen! i am in windows...can u help? [02:01] 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. irw says nothing when i press buttns [02:01] izinucs: but it can go to prompt [02:01] wonderful, thanks edbian [02:01] Jordan_U: that was all "latin" to me [02:03] daniel: if you installed the ati binary downloaded from their site.. check the site for uninstall instructions.. sorry I don't have ati experience (except bad). [02:03] Jordan_U:ah i see. did that in cmd prompt in windows, ran chkdsk /f and it said cannot do you want to next reboot, so i said yes, now i see why reboot twice... [02:04] i am having an issue installing a package [02:04] it keeps saying i dont have permsion how do i install it through terminal? [02:04] it is a d/led .deb file [02:04] annihilator: sudo dpkg -i [02:05] Jordan_U: rebooting to windows first time now, will let you know what happens after 2 times....should i copy over the root.disk file into the ubuntu directory on second boot up? [02:05] thx [02:06] which video cards run very well with ubuntu [02:06] daniel: nvidia [02:06] daniel, +1 nvidia [02:06] hmmm [02:06] funny.. ati and nvidia are the kings [02:06] why not ati [02:06] s/ubuntu/linux/ [02:06] drivers are done at kernel levekl [02:07] daniel: People more frequently show up with issues with ATI cards than nvidia ones. [02:07] daniel, that's really ATI/AMD's decision [02:07] magicjoe: No. [02:07] ZykoticK9: ya [02:07] Jordan_U: ok, booting up second time, chkdsk ran fine [02:07] daniel: I have an ATI and it works great, but I can't say the same for a large number of people. [02:08] magicjoe: I'm going to be away for an hour or more. We can either continue after that or another day. [02:08] Jordan_U: like right this second you are going? [02:08] MagusOTB: is it certain models work better [02:08] MagusOTB: why woud it work for you then [02:08] Jordan_U: or can you leave me with the instructions in an email. i mean, do i boot to ubuntu now? [02:09] Jordan_U: or at least tell me what to do to move that /boot/ over from one to the other??? [02:09] daniel: I'm not sure. ATIs drivers are just known for being generally bad. I appear to have gotten lucky [02:09] magicjoe: I'll email you. [02:09] hi [02:09] MagusOTB: hmmmm [02:09] ati and drivers are two words I don't see in the same sentence [02:10] Jordan_U: OK 1980j.andres@gmail.com [02:10] shadertest: huh? [02:10] intel has given me more fits than ati [02:10] Jordan_U: so, for now, do i boot to linux, or live cd or what??? after the 2nd reboot to windows and the chkdsk??? [02:10] I'm running Ubuntu on a Core i7 920 Right now lol [02:11] with 12 GB of Corsair Dominator 1600 Mhz DDR3 Tri-Channel RAM [02:11] when you create a new user on ubuntu 10.04 are they automatically allowed to use sudo? [02:11] jtrag: congrats? [02:11] ty [02:11] entropy4, no - only the 1st user [02:11] entropy4, you need to be a member of "admin" group to use sudo [02:12] after i messed up my partitions by resizing them with gparted and fixing them by editing the pbr file with a hex editor by flipping a 4 bytes things have gone more fuckery even though windows data works again... it says practially all things including my ext. hd has no more room... o bytes free for cokyen under /home/cokyen .... yet I see know where in gparted that states it has maxed out in space any ideas of what could've occured p [02:12] hey you guys....how is it that hackers find vulnerabilities in newly released technologies without even having access to the source code? for example, when iphone was released, several hackers found vulnerabilities [02:12] It's good for the Ubuntu Community when people with computers like mine use ubuntu and submit statistical info [02:12] Anybody know what to do if Software Center hangs up. I'm trying to install Bugzilla and it wants to log into mysql as root without apassword. [02:12] oh i see.. thats good.. thanks ZykoticK9 [02:12] entropy4: no you have to run the command "sudo passwd" then you set the password. after that, you type su, and enter the password you created, NOW you can sudo [02:12] cannonfodder: You might want to ask that in offtopic, but it's generally done by feeding strange data into places it should not be and seeing what happens. [02:12] !noroot | magicjoe entropy4 [02:12] magicjoe entropy4: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. === root is now known as Guest11282 [02:13] thanks [02:13] entropy4: I'm not sure if there's a graphical way to do it, but if you want a new user to be able to sudo, you should look into /etc/sudoers [02:13] anyone? [02:14] MagusOTB, incorrect - just add user to admin group [02:14] no, i dont want this new user to be able to sudo.. :) [02:14] Jordan_U: well this is really weird. now i got 2 logos on the screen but its like it is still getting stuck in the same place. screw it. [02:14] Should I just reinstall ubuntu [02:14] ZykoticK9: I just looked at ubuntu's /etc/sudoers, and yeah, that will do it. [02:14] hi, i used iwlist from my commandline and subled upona very strange network http://imagebin.org/124301 the first one is my net, but the second one misses the IE: sections. what does that mean? [02:14] Hi - I've been reading press releases saying that Convirt 2.0 is now available in the canonical partner repo, however it's not showing up for me even though I have the repository enabled. Anybody know what's going on or an ETA that it might turn up in? [02:14] Anyone, how do I determine if there is anyone listening? [02:14] MagusOTB, sudoers is for something else really [02:14] Jordan_U: EMAIL ME IF YOU CAN, I HAVE AN UBUNTU DESKTOP NOW!!! [02:15] intrader: you can't [02:15] intrader: ask a question and if anyone knows the answer they will [02:16] izinucs, the question is about ubuntuone and no one answers. I will ask it here === CJO232 is now known as COKYEN [02:16] Jordan_U: ITS finishing the installation, so if you give me instructions i will attempt this alone tomorrow, if you are available to help tomorrow anytime after 230 pacific time, email me what time works for you ,and ill meet you here [02:17] Hi all im new to ubuntu and linux and i already know i will not be going back to windows but i was wanting to know if anyone had a list the tools in BT4 R1 [02:18] jeremiah: BT4 R1?

I also do not see any of the notes of machine one. [02:18] or any apps i should be getting [02:18] how to tell apt package manager to forget about brocken packages?

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [02:21] Paz, unless you're talking http [02:21] Hey, Why would Ubuntu not recognize the partition table on an ipod? [02:21] !gufw [02:21] no we have dvr that people connect to and i want to cut them off at 2 min [02:21] sudo apt-get install gufw [02:22] Paz, first see if there's a way to configure that at the application level [02:22] ie: with the dvr program [02:22] na there is not [02:22] otherwise i will have to get a cisco router [02:22] Paz, in that case there's *probably* some way to do it with iptables (the linux kernel firewall) [02:22] well then how to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched? [02:22] but I do not know how [02:22] riddick: an ipod? or ipod touch?

[02:23] riddick: if you just go to synaptic, and search for ipod, and read the description of a few packages, you will find a lib-something that will let you mount and sync your ipod [02:24] como te llamas [02:24] I'll look into it. thanks.

[02:29] you can probably fix the not-booting using the live environment provided on the install cd [02:30] ubottu. I know it is EOL. But surely there must be a repo with the last set of .deb to bring it up to April 30th, 2010 updates.

[02:31] how can i make my laptop hibernate from the command-line? [02:31] rww, thanks - I didn't know such repos existed. not sure why anyone would want to use them though...

[02:51] crossover is better than wine and cedga [02:51] maco [02:51] but i'm only relying on statistical evidence [02:51] i have found i can run programs on crossover better than i can on wine [02:51] annihilator: ive never really noticed any differance last time i tried all 3 of them.

[02:52] wine and winex(cedga) it does not work [02:52] how would i go about making a complete backup of my ubuntu system so i could restore it on a new computer? [02:52] there are more compatabile software that i use with crossover too :) [02:52] annihilator: and in the next release of wine. it might work.. if whatever fix's /tweaks got used.. get back ported.. [02:52] !clone | panfist [02:52] panfist: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [02:52] maco, i disagree [02:52] who should i consult?

[02:53] cool Dr_Willis in the mean time crossover seems to work better atm [02:53] sanddbox: but that does not exempt you from following the rules [02:53] panfist: you should also backup your /home [02:53] but atm i am sticking with linux programs on my server [02:53] okay, i joined the channel [02:53] now what [02:53] and if i decide to switch my lappy to linux then i may purchase crossover [02:53] sanddbox: you have a brain. you can figure it out from here [02:54] i guess i should backup /etc too right? [02:54] Hi. i have ubuntu 10.10 and i have downloaded digikam but when i open the program and click the mouse button it resizes. i8ts hard to explain its like the menu of digikam dissapears under the taskbar of ubuntu. thanks in advancde [02:54] what is crossover? another alternative to wine/cedega? [02:54] panfist, you might also want to backup /var/cache/apt/archives (has all your downloaded packages) [02:55] i think i'm having character encoding problems because i see some characters that don't make sense in the message for !clone [02:55] Chr|s: Yes. an alternative to cedega basically [02:55] Chr|s, yes - Crossover office - proprietary [02:55] can anyone who sees the message for !clone properly put it on pastebin please? [02:56] panfist: what did you not see properly about it? [02:56] panfist: the characters you're not seeing properly are just quote marks; ignore them [02:56] Dr_Willis, ZykoticK9 thanks [02:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535065/ [02:56] the << >> characters? :) [02:56] panfist: http://maketecheasier.com/backup-your-applications-with-a-single-command/2010/09/01 [02:56] bye all. work time for me [02:57] juk is there any disadvantage to restoring packages with dpkg as opposed to APT? [02:58] panfist: what disadvantages? [02:59] i don't know that's why i'm asking [02:59] i might be mistaken but i thought when debs were installed via dpkg if they are in repositories, won't necessarily track the package as well as apt [03:00] panfist: i gave you link read first [03:00] I am looking for a password recovery on my nick ... is this where I ask? [03:01] I need the beta version of blender...is there a way to install it besides from source? [03:01] juk i read the link, i read it again. it doesn't answer my question at all [03:01] most ubuntu guides recommend using apt over dpkg but they don't really explain why [03:01] maybe it doesn't matter in this case [03:01] maybe it does [03:01] panfist: you sure, what was your question? [03:02] panfist, they do different things... one is built on the other. [03:02] i might be mistaken but i thought when debs were installed via dpkg if they are in repositories, won't necessarily track the package as well as apt === kaosgrl is now known as kaosgrrl [03:02] panfist, dpkg doesn't know about repositories [03:02] kaosgrrl: try #freenode [03:02] that's what apt is for [03:02] panfist: because dpkg is lower level and is easier to mess things up with. I think apt uses dpkg to do the actual installing and deinstalling. [03:02] ok, so if you were using dpkg to list installed packages on a system, and then dpkg to install those packages on a new system, [03:03] would you get package updates/upgrades? [03:03] I am unable to get bluetooth to work on my system. [03:03] rww: thank you :) [03:03] panfist, for dpkg to install a package, you have to provide it with the .deb file... you want apt, which will go find the named package in the configured repositories and download it [03:03] panfist: I'm not sure, my intuition says yes, as long as those packages are in the repos, but why would you do that? [03:03] let's say that you backed up the packages on the original system [03:04] panfist, as well as any dependencies needed to install the named package [03:04] MagusOTB: because that's what juk's link said to do and i was unsure that was the best thing to do [03:04] panfist, if you have all of the .deb files, then you can use dpkg to install them again [03:04] would you get updates? [03:04] yes [03:04] panfist: yes if you use dpkg --get-selections > file and then on the other dpkg --set-selections < file && sudo aptitude dselect-upgrade it'll make the install list match [03:04] panfist: and yes youd get updates [03:04] assuming the packages are still in the repositories and being updated [03:05] right === tjgillies_ is now known as tylergillies [03:08] Hi I have a question of the default partitioning by the 10.10 installer using Guided Use Entire Disk.

[04:16] cheese? is that an application? [04:16] kuku_, yes [04:17] khelll, There is also some special PAE kernel. But 64 bit is proper [04:17] ok. I am installing cheese.. will update in a short moment [04:18] edbian, what do u mean by ? [04:18] kuku_: you can test it with skype also [04:19] khelll, What do you I mean by what? [04:19] PAE, what should i do exactly? [04:19] khelll, you need either 64 bit OS or the PAE kernel. To install the PAE kernel: [04:19] !PAE [04:19] Eighteen. it says no device found [04:19] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [04:20] edbian, ah cool, so, do u recommend keeping the 32bit system or better migrate to the 64? [04:20] Hello, I just got a new wireless-N card which can't connect to my router. I have my wifi channel set to 1 and I was wondering if that could be the problem? [04:20] Is it a fresh install? I recommend 64bit [04:21] khelll, But if you can't just clean install you should go with the kernel. (there is slight overhead) [04:21] Eighteens: I am using ubuntu in virtual machine [04:22] edbian, ya it's fresh install. i'm wondering what will happen if some apps don't support 64 system, what would happen? [04:22] khelll, I think all the apps work on both. [04:23] guys I need some help with ubuntu [04:23] khelll, From a developer's point of view it really shouldn't matter if you're 64 bit or 32 bit when writing the app. They're both x86 [04:23] thank you edbian [04:23] khelll, no prob === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 [04:24] !ask | vipul_ [04:24] vipul_: 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).

[04:28] Ya I have the CD but an error keeps coming when I tried to boot from the cd [04:28] It says no partition available [04:29] khelll, It's recommended because if you don't know the difference you probably don't have more than 3.2 Gb of ram. [04:29] khelll, Perhaps it even looked at how much ram you have. [04:29] vipul_, I can't help you install windows.

Updating the nvidia drivers causes no desktop whatsoever [05:28] MrAnthrope: you may want to also use checkinstall on the last step too [05:28] !checkinstall | MrAnthrope [05:28] MrAnthrope: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

I know when I used to dual boot there was a memtest option - is there anyways to make grub show up with memtest option on single boot? [05:32] MrAnthrope: you will probably have to ask the orca/gnome folks for actual help, sorry [05:32] hi everybody [05:33] Maybe my install CD will just work...

[06:32] IsmAvatar: you should have installed openssh-server [06:32] IsmAvatar: on both * [06:33] juk: `apt-get install ssh` did install openssh-server. The client already has openssh-server installed, although I don't see why it would need it. It'd just need an ssh client. [06:34] IsmAvatar: ok, so remove ~/.ssh/* on both [06:35] juk: done [06:35] IsmAvatar: run on both ssh-keygen [06:36] juk: done [06:37] IsmAvatar: so make sure ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub there [06:37] on both * [06:38] juk: confirmed [06:38] IsmAvatar: ok, now just copy from one to another id_rsa.pub and name them authorized_keys [06:39] and vice versa* [06:40] juk: seems hackish, but ok, don [06:40] done* [06:40] IsmAvatar: make it strong: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 [06:40] ;) [06:41] ejv: thanks, right now I'm just trying to make it work >_< [06:41] IsmAvatar: nevermind, for rsa keys, default is 2048 bits! [06:41] hehe [06:41] IsmAvatar: and make sure to make strong passwd on both with case and numbers [06:41] IsmAvatar: so what's the holdup? [06:42] hai [06:42] juk: it is [06:42] IsmAvatar: that's good [06:42] ejv: client can't connect to server, complaining about Host key verification failed. [06:43] juk: what's next? [06:43] juk: attempt to connect? [06:43] IsmAvatar: yep [06:44] hmm [06:44] juk: Host key verification failed. [06:44] IsmAvatar: that's weird [06:44] hello everyone i have a problem when i work with any version of erp the addon path read from one path and not change to the current path of the new version like this: [2010-11-22 09:43:39,517][?] INFO:server:addons_path - /home/safa-y/Desktop/openerp-server-5.0.10/bin/addons now i am working with v6 and the previous path occur when i start the server [06:44] IsmAvatar: sorry dunno [06:45] juk: thanks for trying [06:45] IsmAvatar: no problem [06:45] IsmAvatar remove the entry from the /home//.ssh/authorized_keys file on the client should do... [06:45] on 10.10 desktop [06:45] How can i control the sound-volume of my computer speakers using commandline? === Peer is now known as Guest19639 [06:46] Diverdude, alxamixer [06:46] Diverdude: alsamixer [06:46] iflema: entry removed (it was the only thing in the file). Still same error. Deleted the file, same error. [06:46] Diverdude, alsamixer [06:46] ActionParsnip, is that preinstalled? [06:47] how can I tell which package is recommending another? aptitude is telling me something is recommending hwinfo, but I don't know what one [06:47] hi ActionParsnip [06:47] Diverdude: yep, part of alsa-utils if memory serves [06:47] pankaj_sharma: howdy [06:47] ActionParsnip, yes i can see i have it installed. Nice. Sohow do i use it to adjust volume? [06:48] IsmAvatar: are you kidding me? about the only file? [06:48] aperson: aptitude why hwinfo [06:48] juk: it's not the only file, it's the only *entry* in the file [06:48] I can haz answrquess? [06:49] juk: if you recall, you had me delete the .ssh folder, and then copy the keys from each computer to the other. Logically, it should be the only entry in the file. [06:49] Diverdude: run the app, m to. Mute, cursors to change channel/level, q to quit [06:49] IsmAvatar: i didn't say that [06:49] ActionParsnip, its because i need to make a bash-script that turns the volume to 0% at startup so that i am sure that the introductury sound never plays [06:49] Diverdude: ahhhh then look into: man amixer [06:50] [01:34] IsmAvatar: ok, so remove ~/.ssh/* on both [06:50] ActionParsnip, or is it possible somewhere to disable the welcome music feature? [06:50] hello, i downloaded UNETbootin, how to run it? [06:50] diverdude, set sound theme to no sound [06:50] rww, thanks [06:51] dd, system -> sound -> effects >> no sounds [06:51] IsmAvatar: you what from windows? [06:51] Diverdude: sure in sound properties, change the soundscheme to none, or just uninstall the ubuntu-sounds package [06:51] IsmAvatar: learn shell first [06:52] ... ok, so I didn't actually delete the .ssh folder, just everything inside it. Sorry, I slightly mispoke. I might as well have deleted the folder, since it gets recreated once I use ssh-keygen. [06:52] ActionParsnip, tell me pls hot to run unetbootin that i've downloaded? [06:52] ActionParsnip, on linux of course [06:52] juk: ^^ [06:52] ActionParsnip, well i dont ind the rest of the sounds...the problem is just of i open the laptop in a lecture and the music goes crazy because i did not put speakers on mute last time i closed down.....Its kinda bad [06:52] ActionParsnip, ind = mind [06:52] ActionParsnip, so if i could just disable login it would be good [06:52] IsmAvatar: i see, i know it hard to overcome from windows ... [06:53] Silicone: md5 test it, burn to cd slowly OR transfer to usb using 1-2-3 app at pendrivelinux OR unetbootin. Boot to chosen media [06:53] ActionParsnip, login sound that is [06:53] juk: I haven't touched windows in over 2 years... I don't even remember how to delete a folder in it. [06:53] Diverdude: I think you'd have to just edit the single file that does the sound, to be an empty file [06:55] ActionParsnip, Download and run UNetbootin, then select the "disk image" option and supply it with an ISO [06:56] I'll ask again later. Gotta head out for now [06:56] ActionParsnip, downloaded [06:57] ActionParsnip, how to run it? it's a version for linux, but in propreties shows that it's executable === tekky is now known as Guest95825 === benji_ is now known as ben_11 [07:01] how do i install pychart?

[07:08] rww: I have done :) thank you [07:09] I jsut made a new ext4 drive. how I am I supposed to get it mounted with permissions so I can actualyl write to it [07:09] !fstab [07:09] 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 [07:10] I don't want it in fstab [07:10] magn3ts: its a partition too ;) [07:10] why does nautilus not mount it properly [07:10] ActionParsnip, fair enough [07:11] magn3ts: it'll mount at boot, just like your other partitions. If you don't you manually need to mount it in nautilus every boot which could cause issues depending how you use it [07:11] I know [07:11] :/ [07:11] magn3ts: if you have /home on a seperate partition, the fstab entry will be very similar [07:12] or just sudo chown -R you:you /path/to/mountpoint/ [07:12] yeah I don't have that either. I'm actually going to be doing that, but not for a while [07:12] whats a good, preferabley friendly tool to setup a ubuntu cluster? [07:12] rww, :) [07:13] it's ext4, so doing that will work fine. fstab stuff is more useful for silly partition types like NTFS [07:13] Rww: could've used $USER:$USER instead of you:you :D [07:13] hello, how can i run network manager from terminal? [07:13] ActionParsnip: indeed, good point [07:13] songer: nm-applet [07:13] yeah, I'm moving to a new drive and then I'll be moving my home dir and getting it mounted in fstab. I've done it a few times before so I'm not too concerned [07:14] songer: nm-applet will launch the gui app. Run itfrom alt+f2 or you will need to keep the terminal open while it runs [07:14] how do i do an automated apt-get -y install mysql-server where i can specify the root password and not be prompted for it? [07:14] songer: depends on what you mean. to start the normal networkmanager applet from the terminal, nm-applet. for a terminal-based frontend to networkmanager, install the cnetworkmanager package [07:14] rww: ooh didn't know cnetworkmanager [07:15] ActionParsnip: it's new in Maverick [07:15] Wicd has wicd-curses [07:15] yup. wicd and my wifi card don't get along for some reason, though ;( [07:15] network manager has serious, seriosu problems when you have multiple routers with the same essid [07:16] acidjazz: not sure, man apt-get ,may have a way to sling configs in at install time [07:16] like, huge, huge problems [07:16] ok, i just install blackbox desktop, but i don't see where it is ,does not appear like in gnome [07:16] magn3ts: yeah,shame people don't change their ssid to something unique [07:16] bastidrazor, ActionParsnip rww === ldunn is now known as chu_ [07:17] well it's a college campus, overlapping essid's is the point :S [07:17] songer: press alt+f2 and run: blackbox --replace [07:17] magn3ts: I see [07:17] Just a check [07:17] what it does ActionParsnip [07:17] !info blackbox [07:17] blackbox (source: blackbox): Window manager for X.

Id thought that beobvious seeing as you installed it so surely know what it is, combine it with the command given... [07:19] ActionParsnip: ive been going through it extensively .. nothin so far [07:19] hi guys, how many files in 1 folder is considered to be good and fast to access from a programming language ? [07:19] ActionParsnip, i now what it is, [07:19] ActionParsnip: all i can find so far is -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp [07:19] songer: if you want to you can do it that way, log out, click name then look at the bottom of the screen, select the session type, log in [07:19] ActionParsnip: but no docs or info on what the option would be for the mysql server package [07:20] dr0id, that is awfully vague and not exactly straight forward === omega_ is now known as Guest12938 [07:20] I know, but was wondering whether there's some exact value or somethig [07:20] or some kind of recommendation, like not storing more than 1k files(imgs mainly) in a folder [07:21] acidjazz: its not something I've played with tbh and my web access is too slow to websearch with you, sorry === Guest12938 is now known as ramz [07:21] yes ActionParsnip, waht i want to know is how to start wireless conection but now i already now [07:21] ActionParsnip: hey, you got any idea? === ramz is now known as rams [07:21] dr0id, the only important limitation I can think of besides max files in a folder (by the FS) would be to watch how many file handlers you ahve open at a time [07:21] dr0id: wikipedia will tell you the max files per folder etc of your chosen filesystem if that helps [07:21] i want to install it an old machine [07:22] songer: launch nm-applet and you can configure it. If its already configured then you don't need nm-applet running [07:22] magn3ts: ActionParsnip: what should I google exactly ?just can't find the phrase [07:22] find/form [07:22] dr0id: wiki ext4 ? [07:23] dr0id: wiki ext2 ? [07:23] That sort of thing, use your imagination [07:23] actually I don't want to know how much my FS allows [07:23] I want to know whats recommended, basically am making an image upload system [07:23] dr0id: then as long as its below that, its fine [07:23] its already configured but when i log in blackbox does not start like in gnome [07:23] dr0id, yeah, doesn't really matter, at all [07:24] but now im goin to see ActionParsnip [07:24] songer: if its already configured you don't need it running [07:24] magn3ts: so I can keep on uploading all the images in 1 folder ? :P [07:24] dr0id, yup, as long as the file system allows it. I'd recommend creating a dir structure either by date or by filename [07:24] songer: once itsconfigured, nm-applets onlyjob is tomake libnotify show stuff, nm-applet not running doesn't kill networking [07:24] ActionParsnip, it does not appear the box to write my pasword [07:25] dr0id, /uploads/20101122/file[0-100].jpg or /uploads/c/co/coo/coolfile.jpg [07:25] if you had a choice, would you get a system you intended to install ubuntu in with an intel chip? === chu___ is now known as rww [07:25] Aeronius: depends on use/budget/taste [07:26] songer: I thought you said it was configured? [07:26] yes blackbox is in this same machine [07:26] skypc [07:26] where now im now [07:27] songer: then if you have already stored yournetwork security, you don't need it running [07:27] What about graphics? === chu_ is now known as ldunn [07:27] how can i make appear to little box to write my pasword [07:28] ActionParsnip, [07:28] Aeronius: i'd fly with nvidia here but only due to sweet support although sometimes they can cause issues [07:28] songer: what password do you need totype? [07:28] magn3ts: this is what I have thought too, /uploads/c/co/coo/coolfile.jpg [07:28] keyring ActionParsnip [07:28] but then /c/ and /c/co wil never have any files :D [07:28] yeah, doesn't matter though [07:29] also, any idea what jdb2/sdd1-8 coudl be for a process anme? [07:29] so you recommend that way ? [07:29] songer: notsure about keyring pass dude, sorry [07:29] every time i log in gnome detects my wireless conecction and i have to write my j [07:29] magn3ts: dpkg -S jbd2 ,may help [07:30] o you don't yous wirelss coneccton acitio [07:30] what virtialization prog would you recommend ? for running xp undel linux ? [07:30] you don't used wirelss actionpar [07:31] MEzz, virtualbox [07:31] right, looking it up [07:31] do you guys think Netflix will ever make itself Linux compatible ? [07:31] no [07:32] okay let me rephrase: do you guys think someone will make an app that will make netflix linux compatible ? [07:32] magn3ts: so you suggest /uploads/c/co/coo/coolfile.jpg or /uploads/c/o/o/coolfile.jpg ? [07:32] krunal: no [07:33] well thats that then [07:33] thank you rww [07:33] one is glad to be of service [07:33] krunal, It's not a matter of someone making a program. It's a matter of Microsoft licensing their DRM components for mono/moonlight. [07:33] Which they've stated they have NO intention to do. [07:34] silverlight [07:34] Okay that makes sense then [07:34] ok i got more infos .. apparently the mysql-server install uses whiptail to prompt for a password [07:34] whos netflixs competitor ? [07:34] whiptail --backtitle Package configuration --title Configuring mysql-server-5.1 --output-fd 11 --nocancel --passwordbox -- While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that you set a password ?for the MySQL administrative "root" user.??If this field is left blank, the password will not be changed.??New password for the MySQL "root" user: 13 75 [07:35] krunal: movie piracy, basically [07:35] Yeah I understand rww. It does make sense. We don't wwant to pay for knowledge - microsoft wants to sell it [07:35] has intel fixed its linux graphics yet? [07:36] Aeronius: with the exception of Poulsbo-based chips, Intel graphics work fine on Linux, and have for a long time. [07:36] Poulsbo is a horrid mess. [07:37] I'm getting an i5 chip, is that going to work ok? (they haven't shipped yet, so still able to stop it.) [07:37] also any news on nvidia Optimus drivers ? [07:37] Aeronius: i5 is a processor, not a video card [07:38] i found it :-D http://serverfault.com/questions/19367/scripted-install-of-mysql-on-ubuntu [07:38] if you're getting a motherboard, that might come with an intel video chipset, but it could be one of several [07:38] i've got a little issue with my video card turning itself off on boot after a regular update from the ubuntu updater... [07:40] I'm trying to find more specifically === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [07:40] anyone know a easy way to impliment cluster computing in ubuntu? [07:41] (GMA 500 is Poulsbo, btw.) [07:41] doesn't appear to have dedicated graphics card, is that ok? [07:43] it's a Dell studio 1558 laptop, do you think I could install an nvidia card in it? [07:43] no idea. you could try asking ##hardware... [07:44] except it's limited to people registered with Nickserv, so maybe not. [07:44] * rww wanders off to get food [07:44] How many .deb files do I have to download to fully install wine? [07:45] xiven, depends.... start here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wine&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [07:47] hey [07:47] It's a bit troublesome as I'm trying to install it so I can make my internet work. [07:47] i was cloning a git repository thats about 2gb, and got disconnected at 60%.... is there a way to get it to continue from where it is? [07:48] its stuck doing nothing now. [07:49] why is web browsing slow as hell on ubuntu [07:49] I have 2 ubuntu boxes on my local network and I have an SSHFS mount on one to the other but it is EXTREMELY slow, like it takes 10 seconds to read a directory. This should be lightning fast on my lan can anyone help? [07:49] and when i am transferring files between the two machines my internet gets slow too [07:51] Has anyone had problems with an ubuntu machine not having a dedicated graphics card? [07:56] slide: sshfs makes use of FUSE, a userspace framework, i think you may prefer shfs which is simply a kernel module, there's a difference :) [07:56] why is my rsync not doing it incremental? It keeps trying to copy everything even though its' already there?!?! [07:57] ejv, still it shouldnt bog down my system that bad right? [07:57] magn3ts: you may not be specifying paths correctly, double check. [07:57] slide: fuse can be horribly inefficient, you may find better performance implementing shfs instead of sshfs [07:57] ejv, rsync -vr /media/Data /media/NewData [07:57] k thanks [07:57] slide: your mileage may vary [07:57] slide: can't hurt to try ;) [07:58] thats not totally true hehe [07:58] On one of my NTFS partitions, I can't give executable permissions to a file (I have ownership of the file), eg I try $ chmod +x foo, but it doesn't work. [07:59] magn3ts: ? [07:59] ejv you said I might be specifying paths incorrectly. I don't thikn I am... [07:59] kedy07: NTFS has a totally different permissions structure - it probably doesn't understand +x. [07:59] magn3ts: ahh sorry, im helping far too many people lol [08:00] hello people [08:00] I think the '-a' part is necessary for the proper incremental stuff [08:00] slide: ejv: Just using fuse in no way should account for that type of slow down. While shfs may be faster for other reasons (it's different code, maybe even better code), it won't be primarily due to FUSE. [08:00] magn3ts: don't use -r, there's no point since it'll recurse, i'd do rsync -av --progress --stats /media/ /media/ [08:00] Jordan_U: *shrug* [08:01] hey guys I have a 10.04 web server that can be seen locally on a browser all the time, but globally its dns resolves but it can't find the web page half the time, which is irritating and i have no idea what could be causing it, also port 80 is forwarded to server, any help?

[08:01] ejv, cool :) thanks [08:01] magn3ts: my pleasure [08:01] Jordan_U, any suggestions as to what might be causing it? I just stopped a transfer to the other machine and my computer instantly got more responsive and so did my internet [08:02] It's going to be so nice to have this data free from NTFS.

[08:23] sajuuk.dyndns.org < my server [08:23] what can i do to see windows 7 http://pastebin.com/4QHW3yzj [08:23] songer, run update-grub or whatever it is [08:23] it says its down through that [08:23] but locally its up [08:24] and i can ssh to my machine using that DNS [08:24] jasuuki: You need to define "it" in all cases. [08:24] but my router has it forwarded [08:24] define 'it'? lol [08:24] Hey, I'm switching to xfce but I don't want to just purge the entire gnome set. I've gotten rid of dupe apps and such but there's still a volume icon in my notification area from gnome. my xfce4 indicator applet has it's own volume button so i want to get rid of the gnome volume button. anyone know what package that belongs to? [08:25] still same st_ [08:25] also tonyyarusso sometimes it does resolve the DNS correctly so the web page shows up as if nothing is wrong [08:25] anyone wanna help out a total ubuntu n00b? i just installed tonight and I'm trying to install certain software. My question is whether or not all the software I use needs to be linux-specific software, or is it possible to run win/mac software here. The specific software I'm trying to install is Serato Itch [08:25] that is the big mystery of it all that needs to be solved [08:26] jasuuki: is 121.220.26.254 correct? [08:26] correct [08:26] jasuuki: Port 80 is shown as closed on that IP from here. [08:27] My router says port 80 is open on both TCP and UDP to the server on both inbound and private ports [08:27] Guest27017, there's a good chance that won't run in linux, however it never hurts to try. Use 'wine' to attempt to install and run Windows software. [08:27] well, something's not working there. [08:28] it should work right? [08:28] thanks dualMoon I'll look into it [08:28] Guest27017, best of luck! [08:28] again, I don't know which component you mean by "it", and I can't possibly know whether it should work without having set it up myself :) [08:29] jasuuki: perhaps you need to click an "apply" button or something on your router? [08:29] jasuuki: do you have any firewall rules on the box itself? [08:29] tonyyarusso no firewall on router or server [08:29] and the port 80 connection TCP/UDP has been like that for almost 2 years [08:29] jasuuki: There is a firewall, it's only a question of what rules are defined. [08:30] jasuuki: So did this used to work? [08:30] yes, when I had my ddclient operating on a 8.04 machine [08:31] I didn't update my distro's for a while :) [08:31] jasuuki: Okay, so rundown: You can *always* access it by IP address on the LAN, and can *sometimes* access it by domain name (from where?)? [08:32] ... [08:32] tonyyarusso, on my PC at home on the LAN and by my phone [08:32] which uses a 3g connection and not my own connection :) [08:32] jasuuki: The phone has successfully connected at some point recently? [08:33] tonyyarusso: only when the PC can as well [08:33] do anyone know who to generate the Bespin icon set from SVG source? [08:33] tonyyarusso, some guy just install ubuntu but can see his windows [08:33] in grub [08:33] can't see windows 7 [08:34] Weird problem, loose xmodmap settings for external keyboard when disconnect/reconnect... [08:35] jasuuki: I'm inclined to wonder if it's a matter of the dyndns not updating, but you said it was right. You're also running SSH, BIND, CUPS, and SAMBA it looks like? [08:35] tonyyarusso correct, i just got BIND9 installed but i have no idea what it is used for [08:36] ah bug #287215 [08:37] is it possible to setup a DHCP server when I have only one ethernet card and I'm already using that card to get a dynamic IP from my router/modem? In other words... is it possible to make a "fake" card to simulate a static IP or something [08:38] jasuuki: all right, I have no idea why, all I can say is port 80 is closed and that's your problem. [08:39] tonyyarusso alright, maybe i gotta just have TCP instead of both UDP and TCP 80 [08:41] quiet today [08:41] hey guys [08:42] o:o [08:42] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 with duelboot windows 7, and for some reason, some of the folders inside a main folder i use in the ntfs part just disappeared in nautilous and are there when i'm using the terminal ?!

I'm wanting to use a dropbox folder to control a playlist on my media center [08:43] Weazel, did you view hidden files and folders? [08:43] yes [08:43] and they are not hidden [08:43] #archlinux [08:44] when i go to windows i can see the folders fine [08:44] well I'm out of ideas [08:44] right [08:44] :( thx [08:45] tonyyarusso thanks for helping btw :) you have helped in narrowing down the problem === benjo is now known as superbenjo [08:49] sweet [08:49] ?

[09:09] good morning, someone have any idea why when i use the start-stop-deamon he register my service with a id and in the pid file register that id-1??? [09:10] kedy07: no, you need the "user" option, or "users" [09:10] not regist the same number so when i try to kill the process the process is not found [09:10] ectospasm: Ok, but then what does the uid=1000 do? [09:11] somebody have any idea how works start-stop-deamon???? [09:11] kedy07: uid isn't valid for ntfs [09:13] ectospasm: I see. I just realized if I comment out what I added to /etc/fstab, there is no difference. Am I not seeing the diff or do I need to like update something for the changes to take effect? [09:14] kedy07: you need user or users as a mount option [09:15] kedy07: also, the mount point should be owned by the UID [09:17] kedy07: I think sudo mount all will activate the changes made in /etc/fstab [09:18] How to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched?! [09:19] kedy07: oh but looks like you removed not added a mount point so I guess you would have to umount that one [09:20] jfksj, compile and install from source. just out of curiosity - why would you want to do this? this way you lose the automatic updates, which is very important [09:20] ectospasm,sacarlson: thank you guys for the help. I'm new to the fstab thing, but I found out I can do $ sudo mount DATA, to mount it [09:20] i'd rather have no compiler+development crap on my machine [09:20] jfksj: that depends on the packages. [09:21] For some, the distro packages are woefully out of date [09:21] ...not to mention that some patches may take a while to percolate downstream [09:22] jfksj: you want to make a package not able to run? you can change bin file to make it not runable [09:22] jfksj: with chmod [09:22] no I want dpkg to stop trying to remove it as broken [09:22] hi guys :) does anyone here have an idea how i could get a manually compiled pidgin-libnotify to integrate with the indicator applet?

But shouldn't syncing with timeserver bring it to the correct time? [10:13] adac, there was a solution to this but i can't remember what. the old installers used to ask this question before installing. a workaround may be the usage of ntpdate [10:13] Juk: Did you know your nickname is Southern Thai dialect for mirror? Clearly, I'm bored. [10:13] adac, indeed [10:13] how to change my password for password that contains less than 4 symbols? [10:14] wabznasm: :) [10:14] velko, So i guess this might has to do with bios setting. Since my installation is on a usb stick (so i use it on different pcs).

Instead of re-typing the ip, dns stc for 6 different connection in my new install, i was wondering whether there was a file that had all this info stored.. [11:06] Json: opps ifconfig [11:06] sacarlson, why don't you read about what Json is trying to achieve instead of making random comments? [11:06] So that means gdm is gdm3 and I have to bring over a package from older distributions? [11:06] When did the gdm change occur? [11:06] Can anyone help me with stack applet..???

[11:09] if i go into terminal and paste a diacratic (i cant spell) character it displays properlly, (e.g. u with umlout), but if i go into vim that char gets turned into Ac or !?1/2, :set encoding=utf8 is already in the .vimrc anything else that can fix this (the same thing also happens in nano) [11:09] erUSUL, Maybe I';m a li'l slow at this but here's the thing... Those 'connection-settings' are stored in my /home folder, right ? [11:10] Json: yes; ~ is your home folder [11:10] what else can i try also i thought mabe since the rmb is setup so it looks like a hard drive, that it might not boot, but i cant find the app i used aes ago to set it as a hdd, and im just lost and frustrated [11:10] erUSUL, I have / on another partition on which I'm installing Maverik.

[11:13] vic20gmr: to test my usb flash I just copied the iso to the disk and did a md5sum on that file to see that it matched the original to verify it would hold the file size [11:14] vic20gmr: I'm sure there are better ways [11:14] erUSUL, Thank you very much !!

However, now that Desktop is installed, the connection doesn't function at all, doesn't get the IP although it did during installation. [11:16] karthick87: if it helps, by pressint Win+E i can see the other workspaces with panels [11:16] sacarlson, so after i copy iso image to flash drive, do md5sum on it and the one on my hdd?

[11:20] albech: try http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ [11:20] hello, you guys! MAy I have your attention, please? [11:20] rautamiekka: Not even automatically detect proxy settings? [11:20] hey ppl, I have just done an upgrade, and I got some errors, and now my package manager says "you have 1 broken page, use the broken filter to locate it".. what does that mean? [11:20] rww, thanks a ton.. just what i was looking for [11:20] Zorlin: Not even automatic selected. [11:20] I'm just making assumptions based on how schools usually have internet access set up :) [11:20] In that case, that isn't your issue and you should disregard my terrible advice, rautamiekka. =] [11:20] Zorlin: No problem. Just a moment. [11:21] I don't have any ideas, so I'll pass you back to the channel and get back to what I was doing [11:21] sacarlson, i noticed in that article, the author says to plug usb flash into back of computer, mabe i need to do this in order to boot from th drive? [11:22] vic20gmr: I'm not sure about boot but it should read and write from any port [11:22] vic20gmr: it also depends on if your bios supports booting from USB, and if the USB your using actually supports being booted from [11:23] vic20gmr: Keloran: true your bios must support it and I'm not sure what setting is correct on that one [11:23] how do i reinstall the grub in ubuntu 10.10 using the livecd [11:23] vic20gmr: so your your bios supports it but your using a USB pen you got free from a cereal box then your never going to be able to boot from it [11:23] !grub [11:23] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[11:26] juk: it boots to the gui automatically [11:26] Zorlin: This means that the installer was auto-using proxy auto-detection. [11:27] rautamiekka: That's what I figured. The live system and the installer are slightly different, as are those two and the final installation. [11:27] Zorlin: One new thing learnt. [11:28] rautamiekka: Usually they all act the same but oddities between them can point to things like your solution :) [11:28] vic20gmr: does your bios have "usb-hdd/usb-fdd" option in the boot order ? [11:28] sacarlson, do you think that utility to which you referred me will work as advertised under wine? [11:29] is there a program in ubuntu to convert wbsf to iso? [11:29] usb-fdd and usb/zip [11:29] sacarlson, i ve tried both, and also made sure seek-boot-floopy was set on my last try [11:29] wbfs to iso [11:30] Dan_E: Does it --have-- to be for Ubuntu or can you use Window$ ? [11:30] vic20gmr: I don't know, if you only have ubuntu I might use my other method just to test the usb flash is working, just format the flash and copy the iso file to it and run md5sum file.iso on both your source and the flash and see that they match [11:30] windows ok [11:31] I have an asus m4a89gtd pro/usb3 with amd 890gx chipset, and ati radeon hd4290 integrated graphics. i also have a dual monitor setup.

[11:37] rautamiekka: are you reequest also? [11:37] juk: LOL, no. [11:38] rautamiekka: oh [11:38] thx rautamiekka, it's good to be informed.... but I don't want to install, i want to have a USB stick with ubuntu on it, which I can carry to any PC and use [11:38] vic20gmr: so you created the bootable pen drive from that app ?, or did you use "dd" [11:38] reequest: That will work. [11:38] sacarlson, it reported errors, and said the media is likely defective, does that mean it might be defective or that it migh/is defewctive/counterfeit? [11:39] rautamiekka: I'm sure it's possible, but in over a year I have not found anyone who can tell me how to do it [11:39] Keloran, i used ubuntu usb creator, and the tried ubootin, i tried both [11:39] vic20gmr: well if it's counterfeit you see the errors start and continue, if it's defective you should see random errors at random points [11:40] sacarlson, either way its likely my problem, huh? [11:40] vic20gmr: what did you use to test it? [11:40] vic20gmr: its looking more likelly that the pen itself cant be booted from [11:40] sacarlson, that program you suggested [11:41] vic20gmr: my md5sum only is a good/bad method. the other points to the error address [11:42] Does anyone here know how to enable anonymous in pure-ftpd? [11:42] vic20gmr: even the fake ones normaly have some good spots and you can put a small bootable on it like DSL [11:42] doing a hack on my old router...and it needs anonymous enabled on 10.0.0.2 to run the hack [11:43] vic20gmr: ive had trouble with all kingston's, non of them can boot, pny's though can boot [11:43] Keloran, ive been using a 2gb pqi drive, but i have a 4gb pny [11:43] Keloran: kingston is the bigist conterfeit name here in thailand [11:44] sacarlson, what is DSL?

[11:48] ok will try that.. [11:48] rautamiekka, i thought LFE should go to the woofer [11:48] Keloran: sorry I must have missed something there? [11:48] BusMaster: I'm terribly sorry but I have no idea, you need to keep repeating the question here to get answer from someone better. [11:49] sacarlson, i cant seem to fig out how to switch to the top level of the 2gb flash drive in term [11:49] sacarlson, i planned on doing md5sum on the iso [11:49] sacarlson: soz ment that for tux [11:50] vic20gmr: top level? other partition?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [12:09] whts this? define open source terms day? :) [12:10] okaycool: no one is asking any questions [12:10] :) [12:11] man WTF [12:11] err wc sz === ty is now known as Guest94053 === michael_ is now known as michaele [12:14] hi, is there a way to get ubuntu to remember what folders i had open on shutdown, and to reopen them on start up? [12:16] hello [12:16] Hello , I ugraded to ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04, and now it freezes :( [12:17] Any hints [12:17] ? [12:17] ganja failure ? === John_Chen is now known as zrO_Linus_Orz [12:17] any hints on why it freezes [12:17] ganja: you're not the only one, and that's one of the reasons I've stayed at 10.04 [12:17] Mezz, No, login freezes, i can access oly after 15 mins or so . [12:17] does it give any errors.. any failed's .. anything.. at what point does it freeze [12:17] Gnea, :) [12:17] Mezz, Nopes. [12:17] could someone enlighten me as to whether 10.10 supports 4kbyte sectors (aka WD Advance format drives and Samsung 2TB drives) [12:18] ganja, check syslog, dmesg, messages for hints [12:18] kz. [12:18] hey guys === zrO_Linus_Orz is now known as John_Chen [12:18] SoarerGT: that's dependent on the kernel and filesystems implemented. Historically, extended filesystems do, so yes. [12:19] what's vfs? [12:19] Gnea : I used alternative install disk to run sofware raid1 for the OS drive [12:19] Gnea : it doesnt give much options on the screen to check [12:19] anyone who is lucky enough to work entirely on Ubuntu because of his nature of work? [12:19] @-g__-: System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications --> Options [12:20] sacarlson, i just used usb-cretor on my 4gb flash drive, and it also whined about checksum, i dont think i mention this before, butyesterday when i was trying this, i did a md5check on the iso, and it match that on the ubuntu hasheslist [12:20] apart from sysadmins :P [12:20] SoarerGT: a filesystem is a filesystem, so that doesn't mean much unless you skipped the manual/advanced section of the install [12:20] test [12:20] theo: thanks [12:21] Gnea : so as long as I used mdadm that came with 10.10 for the partitioning it should be fine? [12:21] theo: actually, is there a 'session' manager, where i can store a set of apps and folders open, and recall them at a time? [12:21] SoarerGT: the question is, are you looking for stability or something to learn on? [12:22] Keloran, i just tried usb-creator on my 4gb [pny] flashdrive, it griped about checksum also, have anysuggestions? [12:22] g__: gnome has some session management features.. but people often complain about them since they are not used to such a thing under windows. [12:22] !sessions [12:22] @g__: Something like firefox session manager? :) [12:22] Gnea : stability and speed. I'm building a 24 hotswap drive machine ( norco 4224 chassis ) [12:22] !autostart [12:22] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [12:22] SoarerGT: 10.10 isn't known for being stable thus far, but that isn't surprising considering that 10.04 is the current LTS release. as for software raid, I don't use it. [12:23] SoarerGT: is this for personal use or production? [12:23] theo: well, i'm not sure, i don't use ff session manager! i just have folders of bookmarks! [12:23] Gnea : personal use at the moment [12:23] SoarerGT: May I strongly suggest you use 10.04 then? [12:24] 10.04 alternate disk ? [12:24] Dr_Willis: well it's not for permanent autostart, just something like say, starting "project 1 session" will open all the folders i had open in that session etc. [12:24] yes [12:24] SoarerGT: 10.04 has a proven track record of stability [12:24] @g__: I don't know if such session manager exists. There is zeitgeist that can log your activities and find them later [12:24] g__: ive seen similer features. but i never use them [12:25] Gnea : I had issues where services didnt start on 10.04 (or maybe the older one) [12:25] ie... apache wouldnt start on boot [12:25] theo / Dr_Willis oh that's a shame. it'd be damn handy [12:25] Gnea, Nopes that cant be, i had problems with 10.04 , the softwares in synaptic were not updated and were incomapitble with various libraries (default) eg :- Packeth [12:25] SoarerGT: ah, I've seen that too, known issue that was fixed [12:25] Gnea : alright... I'll download 10.04 [12:26] gtg [12:26] hey how do I move the buttons back to the right? [12:26] Gnea, 10.10 (i have another installation is updated, and dont have such problems, 10.04 proceeded with incompatible installation) [12:26] ganja: I've been running 10.04 on many systems for months with no problems, either installed, in a virtualbox or with wubi. any issues are easily solved here or via the forums. [12:27] what is the recommended hypervisor for Ubuntu as a host ? [12:27] ganja: also, 10.04 will have security fixes for the next 3 years on the desktop, 10.10 will run out at 11.04 [12:27] Gnea, I solved that issue with updation in GTK and getting packeth latest version , but i feel that synaptic should be given more care. [12:28] ganja: well, synaptic is nothing more than a GUI frontend to apt [12:28] Gnea, thats the beauty of long term release. :) [12:28] huh? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-add-a-program-to-the-ubuntu-startup-list-after-login/ [12:28] i mean to say repositories for apt need care . [12:28] ganja: did you look for a ppa? [12:28] that seems to suggest there's a session manager, but i haven't got a system/pref/session [12:28] Is there anyway to connect my Nokia E72 to the computer so I can make calls and send sms messages? [12:28] they are constantly cared for :) [12:28] hi all, is it possible to get g++ 4.2 for ubuntu 10.04 ? There is 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 in the repos only [12:28] yeah, the problem is resolved now. [12:29] blip-: you could probably dl the source, and compile it yourself [12:29] hey how do I move the buttons back to the right of the window? [12:29] ganja: when people come in and complain about 10.10 problems, particularly yours, it really doesn't inspire me to upgrade [12:29] !g++ [12:29] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [12:29] g__: do you know if it's in the repos in another version ? maybe I can get it from 9.04 repos [12:30] is g++ a programming language for gnome? [12:30] ganja: I'm also a student, and having an LTS installation is ideal because I don't have time to fix problems on newer software most of the time [12:30] gcc/g++ [12:30] compiler [12:30] Gnea, Ya upgrade has been a brtual experience for me. Fresh install is better , and problem free (though it takes loads of time. ) [12:30] oh ic thanks blip [12:30] ganja: aah okay [12:30] alesan, you have to use gconf. [12:30] gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [12:30] Gnea, me to a student, but i try new things :P [12:31] ganja: I use my Ubuntu for schoolwork, I don't have time to try new things all the time unless it's something in the repo that I haven't installed yet ;) [12:31] anyone have any idea why i would have usb-creator gripe about checksum on two different usb-flash drives by two different manufacturers? [12:31] Gnea, :) [12:33] Dr_Willis: i guess i could set up the different directories on the different screens, and just switch between them. when i shutdown, the state of all screens would be stored right? [12:34] I've got several menu applets. can I move all of them at once? [12:36] also, one more q, can different screens have different backgrounds? [12:36] That's a hard one [12:36] i've just tried to change one, and both changed, so is there some other way? [12:37] How do I know if a server is idle ? [12:37] How do I know if a server process is idle ? [12:38] top? [12:38] sagaci: would span do the trick across two screens? [12:39] i am in dire need of some assistance [12:39] I was having problem with dual monitors in Marverick so I reinstalled xorg using the method describe here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9958943&postcount=4 [12:39] but I can't see any graphic on my computer anymore [12:39] any idea how to get rid of all the installed files using the new repository?

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.7.1+bzr53 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 56 kB [12:43] removing ebox? [12:43] yeah [12:44] ok its removed. === Monotoko is now known as Guest47888 [12:46] bazhang and ubottu: thanks, I'm looking into it [12:46] mohi666, welcome [12:46] I configured VPN client in my machine,It's working fine.Whenever reboots my machine,my vpn client got disconnecting, is it possible add permanent solution for this? i need start vpn client automatic.... [12:49] sacarlson, do you think my usb startup problem might be connected to the particular port into which ive plugged the drives? [12:49] no [12:50] sacarlson, i just ran that windows utility on the 4gb drive, and it reported many "x.xxgb ok, y kb lost" [12:50] some 8kb lost entries as well [12:50] vic20gmr: thats very unlikelly (possible, since plug anything into one of my ports on my work machine and it throws a wobbly) [12:51] hey, this is kind of off topic in the sense it is debians package manager, then again you use it, and i am building/customising on a command line ubuntu mav... I was wondering.. say I wish to use a newer version or i custmise some soiurce, build a deb package... will it, will it not be maintained , dependency wise to the rest of the system + will it be somehow able to check for updates (if it is not 'customised or so)... and finally, if s [12:51] o, what do I have to ensure (when building the deb say?) and/or if not, what can i consider? an example could be for example compiling a non rep kernel? or getting a svn version of gedit .. examples only!) [12:51] moke99: if it's offtopic, why are you asking ? [12:52] Hello, can anyone tell me why a picture of a lock appears on some folders in my Xubuntu desktop, sorry, im sure this is a simple one [12:52] "IBus is an intelligent input bus for Linux/Unix." wtf? [12:52] student_: it's to do with permissions [12:52] ikonia, it is not exactly off topic as such... but I meant apt is debian's.. adopted by many eg. ubuntu.. so I would of gone to debian.. but since I am building ON ubuntu, it is an ubuntu thingy (plus it is linked to ubuntu's reps :)) [12:53] Keloran, this is output of the hwtest program http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294556/ [12:53] Read write and execute permissions [12:53] Keloran, what do you make of it? [12:53] but 'off topic' as in in here prolly mainly gonna be ' how do i print a file' kind of chat ;) [12:53] student_: that you do not have! [12:53] ok [12:53] "what is a terminal?" etc ^^ [12:53] How do I install and configure my webcam under Ubuntu/ [12:54] Hi folks. On my linode server I set 'PermitRootLogin no' and 'PasswordAuthentication no'... still i can login via ssh root@1.2.3.4 [12:54] Beefcakes, download cheese package and give it a try to see if webcam works [12:54] Why is this? [12:54] mbrochh: did you restart sshd? [12:54] I have chmod'ed all folders for ug=ro * -R [12:54] if you have problems with setting it up with say , amsn (google for LD_EXPORT) au juts need to export a LD_PRELOAD * sorry.. or so, of a lib and it will work [12:54] oh ok that is a service... obviously [12:54] 64 bit too [12:54] timo, thanks [12:54] moke99: Cheese does not work :( [12:54] hmm, that is worse [12:54] mbrochh: np [12:55] hello all [12:55] just a question on 10.10 [12:55] i'm running through openldap install and then the samba install via the server support guide [12:56] however when i tried to do the ldapadd its asking me for a password that when i enter isnt correct [12:56] in that case, it's a bit longer troubleshooting (don't worry, you will get it to work but you have to google a bit on the various drivers.. find out your cam, which type it is, look for the drivers it should have, 64 or 32 bit OS.. google is your friend).. unless someone here is happy to PM you and go over the steps they alreayd know.. but should rarther be some link to how to generally approach a 'webcam problem on X bit system" say :) [12:56] How do I use grep with lsusb? [12:56] however when i set it up in openldap it worked fine [12:56] any ideas on how to reset it ? [12:56] through a pipe Beefcakes , eg lsusb | grep "holy moly" [12:56] timo, /etc/init.d/ssh restart did the trick... now ssh root@1.2.3.4 gets permission denied... [12:56] i really should of tried to put that in one line.... [12:56] funny that it still asks for a password though... since i disabled that as well [12:57] should have also mentioned 10.10 server :) [12:57] sigh how do i use grep.. this was my point ikonia but I guess I will leave you guys to these questions... off ot debian it is, and explaining that my base is ubuntu SIGH [12:57] well ive plugged it into one of the rear usb ports, im gonna see what happens === nand_ is now known as nand [12:57] * vic20gmr crosses his fingers [12:57] How to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched?! [12:58] moke99 lsusb | grep whatever your after [12:58] nand, u have a brother named xor? [12:58] bwahah [12:58] student_: are you the owner of the files though? [12:59] that's my wife [12:59] ahh [12:59] gah. gnome can't have diff backgrounds on diff workspaces. that simply sucks [12:59] heh [12:59] meh [12:59] apparently kde's been able to do it for at least 2 years [12:59] g__, I know really. [12:59] yes, I am the owner [12:59] g__: if it bothers you, write a patch and submit it. [12:59] when you guys create keys with ssh-keygen... where do you usually store your keypairs? i never know where to put them... then i reinstall my machine and forget to save them so they get lost ... [13:00] Can anyone help me, I need to create a partition from unpartitioned space, and I want the partition to be logical NTFS, how to do it? [13:00] download gparted [13:00] it cannot be patched as root window is the same for all workspaces [13:00] mbrochh in your home/.ssh [13:00] ive used chgrp and chown to set them as me [13:00] sipior: that's what i love about the floss crowd. they think they everyone who has an issue with something is a)able, b)willing, c)good enough to "write a patch". [13:00] mbrochh asin /root/.ssh [13:00] tas, i think gpartd will do that [13:00] that's sooooo realistic [13:00] g__: well, you're not willing to pay, obviously. [13:01] g__: we're allergic to ingrates. [13:01] sipior: not willing to pay for what? [13:01] oh nvm, I thought gparted was 40mb. thanks vic20gmr [13:01] tas, np [13:01] fdisk is good [13:02] Hello all. I have an issue where my MCE Remote (RC 6) is all of a sudden giving me 2x button presses for all arrow keys in mythtv, since adding the same hardware and config files to a new frontend. I've tried altering repeat and delay settings in lircrc, to no avail. Any suggestions on how else to rectify this? [13:02] I've got several menu applets. can I move all of them at once? [13:02] vic20gmr, The logical drop down menu in gParted, is inactive :( [13:02] in new partition creation window. [13:02] the parition I deleted was logical before... [13:02] and what i really hate about kde is it feels slow and bulky compared to gnome. and what is it with kde and that damn "desktop folder" that pops up on start up. that's so windows 3.1 [13:02] tas, oops [13:02] anyone know how to reset openldap pass? because changing it in slapd.conf didnt work for some strange reason [13:02] ver 10.10 server [13:03] ? === administrator is now known as Guest14106 [13:03] dammin, gnome-kde wars are so 1998, take it elsewhere [13:03] ? [13:03] ive set permissions for all files in this directory for users,groups and other as r-x [13:03] tas: hope you got a backup!!!! [13:03] vvor, I don't care about he backup, as I deleted my windows xp [13:03] should this put the folder lock icon on the file browser? [13:03] Hellson, sure thats where i create them and usually leave them... but then a new ubuntu comes out, i wipe my disk and do a fresh install and bang, they are gone... do people burn them on CDs and lock them down at home in safe or should i just start to remember to backup them before i reinstall my system? :) [13:03] vvor, vic20gmr I need a new logical partition to install windows 7 in. [13:04] st__: i have no 'war'. just pointing out a gripe of mine [13:04] win 7 will do it [13:04] g__: bellyaching in #ubuntu-offtopic, please. [13:04] and windows 7 won't install it. it highlights the linux partition, for installation. LOL [13:04] vvor, he probably needs resize [13:04] mbrochh lolz backup helps alot [13:04] tas, i just right clicked on a small unpartitoned space on my hdd, and it defaulted to logical partitoo [13:04] yea I need resize too [13:04] vic20gmr, but it won' my place :(( [13:05] tas: you can partetion with win7 the unpart.. space [13:05] st since one 'exports' paths, you can't really keep files in certain directrioes and remain uninstalkled [13:05] you are thinking windows like and thinking if i remove registry entries/ symlinks, im good to go [13:05] but to uninstall but keep source packages is an option [13:05] sorrr, downloaded packages* [13:05] vvor, thats the problem, when I try to partition it in win 7 setup, it makes it primary parition, not logical. [13:05] rea dup on apt-get/patitude [13:05] aptitude [13:05] tas, i hate to admint it, but i think you have found he limit of my helpfullness on your delima [13:06] Hellson, LOL it was the other guy I explained how to use a piped grep x [13:06] argh i really dont want to remove openldap n start again [13:06] vic20gmr, D: [13:06] Hello, troubles with maverick here. I have some display problems with an intel HDA card. my graphics have some jumps and random errors (pixels blinking from time to time, horizontal lines, ...) I didn't find anything online... [13:06] moke99 o [13:06] tas: what is wrong with primery? [13:06] vic20gmr, can you tell me whats the exclamation mark on one parition? [13:06] vic20gmr, in gparted. [13:06] tas, im not sure to be honest [13:06] vvor, win 7 won't install in primary partition. [13:06] vic20gmr, ok [13:07] tas, be aware that ifyou install windows [any version], it will likely screw up grub [13:07] Any lirc experts in the house today?? [13:08] how do i get the bar across the bottom like the shots in this theme shows: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Lucidity?content=125877 [13:08] vic20gmr, yes it will, I don;t have prob with that, I will just add grub entry to windows loader.. [13:08] ok [13:08] bah i did skrew the ldap install [13:08] oh well back to square one [13:08] vic20gmr, oh crap, it says my partitions can't find a mount point D: [13:09] yay for slapd [13:09] How to bring up fstab? I forgot xD [13:09] /etc/fstab [13:10] tas you do realise googling will be faster [13:10] tas, what does gparted? [13:10] let me upload a pic, I think that will be much more better xD [13:10] Hello world! Are there any gurus online that have experience with encryptfs? [13:10] Hellson, If I google then this client is totally useless xD [13:11] tas, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=installing+windows+seven+after+ubuntu [13:11] Hi, I have troubles with my display on maverick (x64) with an intel HDA card. my graphics have some jumps and random errors (pixels blinking from time to time, horizontal lines, ...) I didn't find any help online... [13:11] sorry, just couldnt resist [13:11] tas not really i only come to find out what i couldnt google [13:11] lmgtfy.com is the greatest :D [13:12] Hello all. I have an issue where my MCE Remote (RC 6) is all of a sudden giving me 2x button presses for all arrow keys, since adding the same hardware and config files to a new frontend. I've tried altering repeat and delay settings in lircrc, to no avail. Any suggestions on how else to rectify this? [13:12] vic20gmr, I know the problems and stuff about dual booting win 7 and ubuntu, I have already done it several times... grr. unlike this time, I have this weird problem -.- [13:13] vic20gmr, http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8364/screenshotjy.png [13:14] #ubuntu [13:15] are there ang body? [13:15] tas, is this a second drive? different physicall drive from the one your ubuntu install is on? [13:15] Apparmor is making my life difficult, how do I tell it to piss off? or at least change a setting: Nov 22 13:14:11 sargun-desktop kernel: [410969.325243] type=1400 audit(1290431651.924:57): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/named" name="/etc/bind/db.yupyup.jnl" pid=24146 comm="named" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=116 ouid=116 [13:15] vic20gmr, yes [13:16] so you need a primery??? [13:16] Logical xD [13:16] Sargun_Screen, remove apparmor with apt-get [13:16] tas, im betting it would be easier to disconnect your ubuntu drive, install windows7 normally on this one, and then add windows drive to grub [13:16] you don't need it [13:16] I know really, I am not understanding. LOL [13:16] need a primary partition before u can make a logicakl partition first dont u? [13:16] oh [13:16] no chinese? [13:16] Nisstyre65: alright, slightly nicer options? [13:16] ok let me try that [13:16] thanks :D [13:16] Sargun_Screen, that is a nice option [13:16] @Nasha I believe that is correct [13:16] tas, np [13:16] *poof* [13:17] haoqinjin /join #ubuntu-cn [13:17] haoqinjin: you'll have much better luck in #ubuntu-cn :-) [13:17] Yeah i thought so. Been a while since ive messed around with partitioning! [13:17] en [13:17] Hi, I have troubles with my display on maverick (x64) with an intel HDA card. my graphics have some jumps and random errors (pixels blinking from time to time, horizontal lines, ...) I didn't find any help online... Can anyone here help me? [13:18] @Nasha actually, I seem to remember that partitioning from within windows works a bit different than in Linux... it seems that Windows requires a Primary and an Extended and then logical partitions go in the extended... however, I don't think Linux is necessarily so picky [13:19] Ah yes, that sounds more correct phoenix1 [13:19] Been a long time since i was schooled in the windows way lol [13:19] the reason windows refused to install on primary, was because it wasnt first drive in the system, and it wanted to put its crap in mbr [13:20] ciao ohhhh finalmenteeeee [13:20] phoenix1: only if you need logical [13:20] !list [13:20] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:46] whenever i am watching streaming web video i.e. youtube hulu etc and i make the video full screen it freezes the video feed to me though the audio continues and the once i have exited full screen the video has progressed. "the reason i tried chromium" [14:47] sorry if this is off topic, i was just wondering if someone knows if it's possible to add everything on someone elses playlist to my own playlist on youtube [14:47] hello people [14:47] nfq279: if it's offtopic why are you asking ? [14:47] how can i fix this [14:47] peoplee! [14:47] and whats up ikonia [14:48] Chaos2358: that seems browser related, try another browser, or update your browser [14:48] anyone ever setup a hosting web panel in linux [14:48] been through it [14:48] nfq279: #ubuntu-offtopic [14:48] just thought you guys might know since you're probably good at computers. i can't find a youtube IRC channel [14:48] thats why i tried chromium but it does the same thing and i have most recent updates [14:48] Chaos2358: a few people have reported issues with hulu on flash on linux in general [14:49] how do i allow the admin account to login to ftp ? [14:49] @sacarison: u there ? [14:49] ikonia but it isnt just hulu. its youtube, fancast, watching an embedded vid in a web page everything [14:49] Chaos2358: I would try the ubuntu forums, maybe some posts would help there [14:49] x404x: what admin account [14:50] Chaos2358 Using 64 bit? [14:50] the one that administrates the server [14:50] me [14:50] oh and if it makes any difference it never did this when i was using 10.04 only with 10.10 and no its 32 bit [14:50] i see the ftp calls the users virtual users do i need to set ftp access another place ? [14:50] any way.. thanks just got it up by fsck.. and some luck.. may be it will hold for a couple of days till I get a new set of hdd.. to replace the bumped ones. [14:50] Is there a way to make the ISC DHCP client ignore (not add it as a local default gw route) "Routers" from DHCP ACK? [14:51] the dir permissions are working [14:51] Vhozard, 32 [14:51] Chaos2358 Goto this website and state what it says: http://www.playerversion.com/ [14:52] LNX 10,1,102,65 Vhozard [14:52] SlimG: yes, have a look at the man page for dhclient.conf. the examples section is first-rate. [14:52] Vhozard, my browser is Gecko engine (Mozilla, Netscape 6+ etc.) on the Linux platform [14:53] Okay, that is good, as 10.1.102.65 is the newest version. [14:53] Vhozard, yea it just updated yesterday to that version but didnt help [14:54] Can you open a youtube video and right click in the middle? [14:54] Click on "Settings" then [14:54] hello [14:54] Vhozard, hang on lemme see [14:55] Can someone tell the correct order about Ubuntu system Ubuntu > Xubuntu > Kubuntu..? [14:55] *distros [14:55] by system requirements [14:55] share: order? [14:55] Vhozard, ok hardware acceleration is on the only other options is to allow access to my webcam and mic [14:55] Kubuntu > Ubuntu > Xubuntu [14:55] Vhozard: and Lubuntu? [14:55] Chaos2358 Is hardware acc. enabled or disabled? [14:56] ubuntu 10.10 [14:56] share: xubuntu is definitively the choice for lower systems, don't think the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu is that huge [14:56] share, lubuntu is not a real distro [14:56] and its on/enabled [14:56] Vhozard, ^ [14:56] hm [14:56] ok thanks [14:56] Ok, try to disable it and see if that makes a difference [14:56] share: it might depend on your paket installation anyways [14:56] ok [14:56] so nobody knows how to make pureftpd work ? guess a server that only logs in virtually to nothing is not much use, is ther another ftp server that works ? [14:56] * hashashin nas [14:56] share As in Kubuntu needs the most ram/cpu/whatever. [14:57] or: paket-selection - you can easily run ubuntu with ie. fluxbox - which might eat less resourcen then ubuntu with gnome ... etc etc [14:57] Vhozard: ok thanks for the info, i'll try xubuntu [14:57] Wheneer I change the screen resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x1024 (which is the target computer and I set it because KDE is so slow) the computer shows just garbage on the screen (with intact mouse pointer) and then switches back and either hangs or restarts [14:57] Is /proc/bus/usb deprecated in 10.x [14:57] ? [14:57] share I would like to say Lubuntu is a good alternative too, very light. [14:58] Vhozard, no difference on any of the sites [14:58] Lubuntu is not (yet) officially supported by Canoicial though. [14:58] LjL: looks scary, if another programs tries to access it it bricks your cmos [14:58] Chaos2358 Which Firefox version are you using? [14:58] oki spadowywuje nara [14:59] Chaos2358 You can check it by going to Help --> About Mozilla Firefox [14:59] How do I mount a USB Filesystem from the console? [14:59] Vhozard, ok 1 sec please while i check [14:59] I am using 10.10 [14:59] GatorBoz Tried "sudo mount /dev/sdX /media/usb" ? [15:00] Assuming /media/usb is the directory where you want to mount the filesystem. [15:00] And replacing /dev/sdX with the correct device path [15:01] Vhozard: I am tryign to get a USB to serial FTDI2xx chip to work for a JTAG debugger, and I see the device at /dev/bus/usb/002/001 [15:01] a recent kernel update ruin anyone else's sound? [15:01] Vhozard, 8.1.3.1 [15:01] Thats not possible Chaos2358 [15:01] It should be something around 3.6.12 [15:02] Open Firefox and then go to Help --> About Mozilla FireFox [15:02] How to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched////// i cannot install or remove anything [15:02] Vhozard, ok i went to the help and support on my desktop [15:02] Thats not exactly what I meant xD [15:02] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10(64 bit). Wondering if JACK is a replacement for ALSA or can/do they co-exist? I have a Firewire audio device I want to get running in Audacity but search engines lead to JACK. Thanks. [15:02] Vhozard: i have only 434mb ram and CPU is 1050mhz [15:02] Vhozard, ok yea 3.6.12 [15:03] Vhozard: im running 10.04 and it's slow :p [15:03] share, it's too low, you need a special distro [15:03] share Yeah, try Lubuntu then. [15:03] st__: ir can i try an older version of ubuntu? 8.04) [15:03] or [15:03] share, no, it's buggy as hell [15:03] they seem to be faster [15:03] Chaos2358 ATI NVIDIA or Intel video drivers? [15:04] Vhozard, whats the the terminal command? to find out? [15:04] st__: ok what about drivers and stuff in xubuntu are they the same from ubuntu? [15:04] malkoun: dont fancy trying nvram-wakeup ? [15:05] share Yes, they are. [15:05] Chaos2358 I honestly dont know... [15:06] Vhozard, ok give me 1 second please [15:06] share: xubuntu = ubuntu - Gnome Desktop + Xfce4 Desktop , and maybe a few other apps [15:07] share Or buy an Intel i7 [15:07] lol [15:07] :P [15:08] share : i would just go with an older release, software is continuously evolving, to meet the needs of the more common systems on the market for that time, maybe try karmic or debian stable release [15:08] share, why ask? what are you trying to do? [15:09] i find 10.10 to be a bit sluggish on older stuff myself, but i wouldnt expect anything different [15:09] goltoof_: i want to install a distro on my old computer 434mb ram 1010mhz cpu.. but i dont want to go with damnsmalllinuxm, puppylinux etc.. [15:09] tried it on my mom's atom netbook, and not real pleased with it on there, gonna roll it back to something else [15:10] does anyone know the terminal input to tell my graphics driver? [15:10] share: o i c [15:10] oic? [15:10] cant find it [15:10] DaveWM, im talking from 10.10 live desktop :D i had to plug the usb drive into a back port, and i used unetbootin instead of usb-creator [15:10] share oh i see [15:10] Chaos2358: sudo lspci ..look for your video card info.. it should list it [15:10] ok thank you [15:10] anyone know of an MP3 stream analysis tool (something that will check conformity, etc.) ? [15:10] guys i have sony laptop and have problem with cheasse that my cam is not working from saudia arabia 22 age [15:10] DaveWM: i have 9.10 on a cd and it seems to run faster even on livecd [15:11] vic20gmr: good, glad you got it, it seems more compatible with more distro's, also the dd wiping thing i mentioned, helps sometimes, i get errors during boot sometimes if i dont, probably mbr not getting cleaned up right [15:11] Vhozard, Yea its intel [15:11] share: yea, i'd go with that, if its ok on live cd, it'll be even better installed [15:12] share: you might want to test different images via live cd, or usb and see which run fastest.. just because 8.4 is older, doesn't mean it'll work better with an older machine. many kernel/resource improvements have been made since 8 that'd make it work better on older machines [15:12] . [15:12] Vhozard, yea it is an intel [15:12] ok im gonna blank 10.04 cd [15:12] DaveWM, ya, thanks for advice, but i did get a message "no such file or directory exist" , when i tried wipe command [15:12] share there's also slitaz , sort of like puppy and DSL, but worth a shot if you're looking for light weight [15:13] vic20gmr: you gotta make sure you pick the right device [15:13] The Intel video drivers should work correctly. [15:13] vic20gmr: that's a dangerous command to use if you're not sure about you're devices, you could wipe anything with it clean [15:14] Vhozard, but they arent. I never had a problem when i ran 10.04 but when i installed 10.10 it started doing this stuff [15:14] Check if xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [15:14] Hi there. Im trying to get into de #django channel, but I get "Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services". Can anyone help me pls. [15:14] DaveWM, i put sdc, and i also tried adc1 [that is for flash, i checked with fdisk -l [15:14] fdisk -l will show you your drives, you wanna pick entire device, not just partition of the flash drive [15:14] is there any boot incompatible usb's sticks nowadays [15:14] sdc1* [15:14] guys some one know about camera [15:14] Vhozard, ok [15:14] vic20gmr: did you use /dev/zero ? i had typo and left out the o the first time [15:14] !webcam | night: [15:14] night:: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [15:14] PaulEycks: is your nick registered? my only thought... [15:15] o, you must have have made a typo, i was putting in /zer not /zero [15:15] cheese [15:15] vic, when yo do it for wiping an entire device, dont do sdc1 or sdb4... do the entire device, without the number, /dev/sdc [15:15] or else i copyied wrong [15:15] vic20gmr: or else the mbr will get left behind [15:15] cheese is not working with me guys === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [15:15] DaveWM, ok, thanks [15:15] Vhozard, there are three packages. two drivers and a debug sym. i have both drivers not debug sym [15:15] juk: ive had some usb flash drives not 'boot' properly in some of my pc's but other sticks would work.. and the problem stick would work in other pc's.. so its possible, [15:15] vic20gmr: since you got it though, no worries, all good, heh [15:15] i have sony laptop [15:16] is scribes wigging out for anyone else? got some pretty annoying bugs since 10.10 [15:16] DaveWM, yepperz! :D [15:16] sony vaio === OerHeks is now known as Oer [15:16] msg nickserv identify fr0d042 [15:16] lol [15:16] gah :) [15:16] lol [15:16] Is USBFS not a valid Filesystem type in 10.10? [15:17] Chaos2358 That is good, but it might help to reinstall them [15:17] GatorBoz: it's not a real file system [15:17] Right click --> reinstall [15:17] vic20gmr: i noticed something when installing off of flash, the boot manager will sometimes get installed to the flash device instead, or another wrong drive, so choose where to install grub, and make sure you use /dev/sda entire device again, use the deivce at top of tree from where you create partitions [15:17] is there a freenode help channel [15:17] share, you realize when you say lol we can't tell what or who you are laughing at... just fyi [15:17] pran: #freenode [15:17] Vhozard, ok well i shall go do that. [15:17] ikonia thanks [15:17] well ima go play ith this now... tata [15:18] ikonia: hmm I need to be able to specify it as a filesystem type for a mount command....and it's not available in /proc/filesystems to choose from...suggestions? [15:18] GatorBoz: what file system is on it ? [15:18] Hi there. Im trying to get into de #django channel, but I get "Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services". Can anyone help me pls. [15:18] Paolo_CT: isnt that a question for #help or similar? [15:18] Paolo_CT: ask for help in #freenode [15:18] GatorBoz: ive never heard of 'usbfs' as a filesystem befor [15:18] Paolo_CT: in short: read the freenode faq [15:18] Thanks, will do [15:18] I've got a machine where gparted was used to resize some partitions of an ubuntu 10.04 server that now won't boot [just says GRUB in top left corner of screen] (note: this was formerly an ubuntu 8.04 machine that was upgraded, so it looked like it still used grub1, but I'm not 100% sure). It has some large (>2TB partitions) so appears to be using GPT. How do I restore GRUB on this? I have no experience with GPT, the standard grub-install from an ubunt [15:18] u 10.04 boot cd complains that it can't work on GPT [15:19] ikonia: It's a JTAG debugger tool connected through the USB port.....and the open source software talks to it through the drivers, which say to use usbfs [15:19] GatorBoz: use the mount command without specifying the file system, see if Ubuntu can work out what it needs [15:19] ok [15:20] ikonia: I am following instructions here: http://www.tincantools.com/assets/How%20to%20Install%20OpenOCD%20for%20the%20Flyswatter_r0.4.pdf [15:20] ikonia: I am 10.10, and those instructions are for older Ubuntu...massaging to make fit [15:20] why hardy needs 384mb and later distros until 9.10 only need 256mb ram? [15:20] . [15:20] Vhozard, dude you are awesome i reinstalled em and no more freezing [15:20] GatorBoz: just o what I've suggested [15:20] Chaos2358 Great :) [15:21] share... better memory management [15:21] Vhozard, thank you so much dude. you just dont know how annoying that was cause when ever i made it full screen it froze [15:21] ok [15:22] No prob :) [15:22] brad_mssw: you will wanna boot a live cd, and adjust your grub config, it was probably using UUID to boot, and by chaning partitions, you changed the UUID of the devices, also check your fstab and make sure UUID in there is correct, you can optionally use the device path instead of UUID of course if that's easier [15:23] Hi. Just installed Maverick on a laptop, and now want to install the nouveau driver and enable 3d. I installed the nouveau-firmware package and libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package - is there anything else i should do before i reboot, so i dont end op with a broken X? [15:23] ikonia: no joy... [15:23] DaveWM: I verified the UUIDs, they're still the same [15:23] #ubuntu-ru [15:23] GatorBoz: what did it say ? [15:23] DaveWM: it appears as though grub itself got messed up in the MBR [15:24] DaveWM: never making it far enough to read the menu.lst [15:24] ikonia: another console line, and then mount -t shows nothing new [15:24] DaveWM: and I was booted off the ubuntu 10.04 desktop livecd checking it out [15:24] ChrisBuchholz: grub-install /dev/sdawhatever === Moe is now known as Guest30717 [15:24] GatorBoz: show me the command you used to mount [15:24] DaveWM: sorry - what? [15:25] GatorBoz: why are you using mount -t to see what's mounted ? === s3r3n1t7__ is now known as s3r3n1t7 [15:25] ikonia: sudo mount [15:25] ChrisBuchholz: i meant brad_mssw , soory [15:25] sorry [15:25] GatorBoz: show me the exact line you used to mount the device [15:25] ikonia: sudo mount -a [15:25] GatorBoz: have you put the device in your /etc/fstab ? [15:25] DaveWM: that is what I ran and the command complained about it being a GPT partition table [15:25] ikonia: yes it is in fstab [15:25] DaveWM: ah, i see ;) [15:26] GatorBoz: can you show me the fstab line for it [15:26] ikonia: sure. none /dev/bus/usb/002/003 usb defaults,mode=0666 0 0 [15:26] GatorBoz: ok .) there is no mount point in there, b.) you have not specified a file ystem, that will never work [15:27] GatorBoz: remove that line please [15:27] GatorBoz: lets do this manually [15:27] brad_mssw: maybe this will apply http://www.wensley.org.uk/gpt i'm not sure now [15:27] ikonia: ok. Ready. [15:27] How do I change the MySQL root password after an initial installation? The installer didn't prompt me, and I've tried 3 different suggestions from websites, and none worked. [15:27] GatorBoz: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please. [15:27] Kerrick: mysqladmin [15:28] ikonia: how do I pastebin? [15:28] !pastebin [15:28] 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. [15:28] Kerrick: #mysql [15:29] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535229/ [15:29] DaveWM: Grub1 in ubuntu should be patched to natively understand GPT afaik [15:29] GatorBoz: the only device in there with a partition table on is your internal disk [15:29] GatorBoz: are you expecting your device to have a partition table [15:30] ikonia: not expecting it to have a partition table [15:30] ikonia, from a quick glance usbfs does not need a mount point perse, as according to http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x173.html [15:30] ikonia: let me explain a bit more [15:31] s3r3n1t7: t is mounting it [15:31] ikonia: I am using a USB JTAG debugger to debug a circuit board. The debugger uses a standard FTDI2XX chipset, mainly used for old serial port to USB converters. The software is OpenOCD. The driver software talks to the device over USB. [15:32] GatorBoz: I understand that [15:32] i want to generate a patch including Index: lines; what tool does this? diff doesn't seem to. [15:32] ikonia: so I believe that since usbfs is not listed in /proc/filesystems, then I don't have an option to work with the "usbfs" as a choice [15:33] GatorBoz: yes, I understand that also [15:33] ikonia: Which begs the question, in 10.10, do I need to recompile the kernel to add usbfs support as a filesystem choice? [15:34] GatorBoz: usbfs appears to be depreciated [15:34] GatorBoz: this should help though http://www.mail-archive.com/openocd-development@lists.berlios.de/msg12617.html [15:34] ikonia: yeah, it appears that way [15:34] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10(64 bit). Wondering if JACK is a replacement for ALSA or can/do they co-exist? I have a Firewire audio device I want to get running in Audacity but search engines lead to JACK. Thanks. [15:34] ikonia: from what im reading about it - it seems to be a 'filesystem to access usb devices' like /dev/XXX not a filesystem you format a usb device too.. but i am jus googling and reading :) [15:35] Dr_Willis: yup, === ring1 is now known as ring0 [15:35] some info i found on 'usbfs' -> http://tali.admingilde.org/linux-docbook/usb/ch07.html [15:35] <_ting_> hello [15:35] <_ting_> could anyone help me? [15:36] dr_willis: that is correct........ [15:36] ikonia: I am really appreciating your help on this btw :) [15:36] _ting_ : that would require a problem [15:36] GatorBoz: did you check the URL I sent you ? [15:36] <_ting_> i am trying to create a small script that get the name of the directory from the script is runnig [15:36] !hi | _ting_ [15:36] <_ting_> i was trying to use "basename pwd" [15:37] <_ting_> But it is not working so i dont know what i am doing wrong [15:37] _ting_: #bash for scripting support [15:37] <_ting_> (I have to say that i am a newbie) [15:37] <_ting_> thank ikonia [15:37] Jordan_U: Are you here today? [15:38] GatorBoz: what i am getting at is that its not a flesystem like 'ext2' or 'ext4' that one would use in fstab. its a special kernel thing that just fills in the proper /dev/whater items. [15:38] how do you record from tv time [15:38] _ting_: --> "${0##*/}" [15:38] ikonia: I am reading it righ tnow [15:38] hi [15:38] hi [15:39] dr_willis: ok... [15:39] where is the setting for 'take xchat to system tray when minimized'? [15:39] Hi. Printer: canon pixma MP270 is printing, but scanner doesnt work... why? maybe i should install one more driver for scanner? :( [15:39] Hey all, I'm running Ubuntu Lucid on Dell Optiplex 760. When I installed Ubuntu on this system, the sound worked fine, no clue what I did, but I get no sound recently... any ideas on what config I need to change to get sound to work? [15:39] ikonia: what is the role of the /etc/udev folder? [15:39] maxylopes: i would check the forums to see if anyone else has that scanner working.. Canon has very poor linux support. [15:39] GatorBoz: it controls the udev rules [15:39] maxylopes: and check the 'sane' scanner driver web site. [15:40] ikonia: ...what are their roles? [15:40] GatorBoz: they create device nodes [15:40] somtimes if you even touch the mixer it slides it off all the way Asthralios_werk [15:41] ikonia: ok....thanks... [15:41] does anyone know a gstreamer-compatible audio transcoder? [15:42] An_Ony_Moose, do you mean to convert audio files from one format to another format? [15:42] if i need to install a 32 bit version of a package to support a 32 bit program do i simply just install the package from the 32 bit repos or is there a way to do it using apt-get on 64 bit ubuntu ? [15:42] An_Ony_Moose: yes, SoundConverter [15:42] AbhiJit, yes [15:42] sipior, thanks I'll try that [15:42] !64 | meth[phone] [15:42] meth[phone]: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [15:42] An_Ony_Moose, try mobile media convertor [15:43] ubuXubu: This is a desktop system and there are speakers plugged into the sound output though... [15:43] maxylopes: sounds like you got 'mouse over focus' set some where in the menus if you have to have the mouse in a window to 'activate' it.. im not even sure where that setting is at.. its not the default [15:43] meth[phone], you just need to install getlibs after that if you areinstalling from software center or synaptic it wll automatically install. if you are installing from .deb then just do sudo dpkg install --force-all package.deb [15:43] sipior, thanks that works perfectly. AbhiJit, thanks all the same :) [15:43] um ok [15:44] same here Asthralios_werk , just something i noticed a few times [15:44] thanks [15:44] lol [15:44] ahh [15:44] what is this [15:44] meth[phone], its sudo dpkg -i --force-all p.deb [15:44] ikonia: next question, when I do a "ls -al | less" I lose the coloring in the shell for the filetypes...is ther ea workaround for that? [15:44] where is the setting for 'take xchat to system tray when minimized'? [15:45] hi, anyone having trouble updating firefox (3.6 and 4.0) i'm getting messages "404 not found" [15:45] GatorBoz: ls has options to 'force' the colors on. Normally you dont want to pipe the colors.. [15:45] GatorBoz: less does not support colour, and your pushing the output of ls -color through "less" [15:45] GatorBoz: check ls --help [15:46] AbhiJit just click the icon in the system tray to minimise it to the tray [15:46] :o [15:46] wow! that worked! :) MrsB [15:46] :) [15:46] SO my desktop -switcher thing just crashed .. im trying to reinstall it .. does anyone happen to have an idea of what this thing is called? [15:47] ikonia: less does support color --> ls --color | less -R [15:47] that lets you swap between 4 desktops [15:47] hi, anyone having trouble updating firefox (3.6 and 4.0) i'm getting messages "404 not found" [15:47] erUSUL: that's cool, there you go Gorthaur [15:47] ls --color=always | less -R [15:47] delinquentme, workspace switcher? [15:47] oop GatorBoz ^ [15:47] alias less to less -R and you are good [15:48] delinquentme: guessing here, but 'workspace swithcer applet'? [15:48] delinquentme: mine shows name as Workspace Switcher 2.30.2 [15:48] delinquentme, its called 'ows' [15:48] delinquentme, do this in terminal apt-cache search workspace switcher [15:49] i think no [15:49] hi. my dvd rom is broken and i want to install ubuntu. can i do it using a udb hard drive ?

[15:53] ghufran: a pen drive is a disk [15:54] ghufran: pen drives need partitions too [15:54] ghufran: netboot needs no usb stick just a ethernet port and a working secound computer [15:54] hi. i get a LCD screen and i want use it instead of the native sceen of my laptop. what i want is, when i start X, the native screen is not power on, and the LCD screen can be set to a proper resolution. i tried the gnome munu --> ... -> monitors, and it works only if im logged in.

See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [16:05] thanks [16:05] Asus1991, or you can just install varios tv softwares in your current ubuntu. mythubuntu is just one of them [16:05] oh i mean mythtv [16:06] whatever it is [16:06] How would I go about deactivating and removing compiz from maverick? [16:06] AbhiJit: you've used an ipod with this? [16:06] Asus1991, no i dont use ipod [16:06] ChrisBuchholz: you just remove it, no de-activation neccessary [16:06] ChrisBuchholz: but make sure you have a WM or DE to use alternatively [16:06] AbhiJit: Fair enough , I will take a look [16:06] ok [16:07] aeon-ltd: okay, but i guess metacity would be proficient? === vexter is now known as Guest8549 [16:08] dragonkeeper: seems I never got tvtime to work. I had played with mythtv but never got it totaly working but was able to record something [16:08] ChrisBuchholz: yeah, are you using anything that strictly requires compositing?

[16:10] !ot | farouk [16:11] thanks ;) [16:12] AbhiJit: My screen stays on, but the mouse and keyboard are frozen, no tty switching at all either just stops completely.. thinking it could be graphics [16:12] Asus1991, that hapends with me just for 2 time. other all time full system hang [16:13] :( [16:13] if i run power top the first value is psb@pci:0000:00:02.0, eth0 , im not even using eth0, how can i get rid of it ? [16:13] sacarlson i have tvtime working fine but i cant get it to record [16:14] sniperjo_ if it is on your motherboard you might be able to disable it in the bios [16:14] MrsB: ive looked ,if i disable ethernet i disable wlan aswell :( [16:15] sniperjo_ it is probably the wlan using the power then [16:15] but the second most is ra0, which is my wlan [16:15] Now I need to restart, I found there was an update to lxdm for my ecryptfs issue in the proposed updates (apparently solves the auto mounting issue--fingers crossed) [16:16] sniperjo_ not sure then. Its odd that an unused eth0 would take more power than a used wlan [16:16] sniperjo_ you might find they share a pci but are separate in /dev i suppose [16:16] MrsB: is not not more power power, its causing more wakeups, which in turn is costing more power [16:17] chkconfig memcached off [16:17] The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart [16:17] well that's all I thought tvtime was for recording. [16:18] ???? [16:18] hi [16:18] My issue has been solved :)! [16:18] somebody knows where save configuration hamster applet? [16:19] MrsB: how would i disable eth0 [16:19] hi all, this time I have a question, how do you play ma4 files in listen in ubuntu [16:20] littlejoey, try in vlc [16:20] Asus1991, :) [16:20] Hey guys [16:20] well I can read it in other programs but, I want to use listen [16:20] A question: I'm trying to recover a cbr file using photorec [16:20] I basically just want to stop disable completely or disable listening for interrupts [16:20] Is this possible? :P [16:20] dragonkeeper: oh ya I think I did get the part to work to make it change the channels to watch [16:20] littlejoey: you mean m4a as in the aac encoder? [16:20] ohhh you mean 'listen' is some program? [16:21] aeon-ltd: yes that's what I meant, and AbhiJit: yes listen the program :) [16:21] sniperjo_ Im not sure, sorry. I have seen before there is a file you can edit which controls things like lid switch actions, you might find there is something there. I cant recall where it is tho [16:21] sacarlson i have tvtime to read composite input for consoles/dvd players [16:21] coderman, never heard about cbr file but try testdisk it is good recovery tool [16:21] somebody knows where save configuration hamster applet? [16:21] littlejoey, i see. dunno [16:21] AbhiJit, they're basically rar archives of images [16:22] no problem Iwill more through the ubuntu forums [16:22] Comics [16:22] coderman, ok [16:22] coderman: recover as in undelete or from a corrupt fs? [16:22] I enabled rar files for photorec [16:22] I just wanna know if that will catch rars [16:22] cbr s* [16:23] coderman: it could, if I can remember, but it would be quicker to browse the filesystem with testdisk and copy the file you're looking for somewhere else [16:23] how would i be able to find out what psb@pci:0000:00:02.0 was ? [16:23] stavrosg_, not corrupt, I just deleted it by mistake- frm an ntfs [16:24] coderman: well then, probably both tools will do the job [16:24] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10(64 bit). Wondering if JACK is a replacement for ALSA or can/do they co-exist? I have a Firewire audio device I want to get running in Audacity but search engines lead to JACK. Thanks. [16:25] sniperjo_ lspci -vn [16:27] Doinkle, i dunno about your issue. but i think they cant coexits. because just 4 months ago i installed jack for some reason and then i dont have sound. then i need to uninstall jack and reinstall alsa to get sound back. [16:28] zdr [16:28] eeej [16:28] ima nekoj? [16:29] MrsB: thanks, not that the output means a great deal to me ! [16:29] sniperjo_ the first number is the pci address, it looks like the one you mentioned is at 02:0 [16:30] hello [16:30] anyone on? [16:31] dragonkeeper: I found this me-tv might try that apt-get install me-tv [16:31] sniperjo_ there is also a number like xxxx:xxxx which is the actual hardware id and subsystem id you can usually google that to find exactly what you have [16:31] stavrosg_, how to I browse the disk with testdisk? [16:31] It's just started analysing everything [16:31] MrsB: ah ok ,well by the looks of it then, my wireless card isnt on 02 , so it shouldnt be causing interrupts on eth0 [16:31] sacarlson ok ill test that [16:32] who [16:32] Pipe_: yeah, but please don't use this channel to test that belongs in !ot === james is now known as Guest67471 [16:33] hi [16:33] hi [16:33] how can i chat with only 1 user? [16:33] coderman: after is done analysing, select the partition you want, and press p (I think, the keys are written under the partition list) to browse it. [16:33] how can i see list of users loged in this channel? [16:33] then c (If I remember correctly again) to save it [16:33] Pipe_: this channel is for ubuntu support only [16:33] MrsB: whatever it is is causing 49% of all interupts ! [16:34] Pipe_: this is for ubuntu.. if you want info on how to use irc try #freenode [16:34] sniperjo_ What does it say it is? [16:34] i found thanks [16:34] is there any girls onlin? :) [16:34] online* [16:35] Pipe_: see rule #30 [16:35] good afternoon [16:36] I am having a problem on an Ubuntu Server [16:36] quit [16:36] hey... how can I config apt-get so it will install from here http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pywebkitgtk/ [16:36] I issued "apt-get dist-upgrade", everything went well until it reaches the "Generating grub.cfg ..." part. [16:37] then it simply tells: Segmentation fault [16:37] Rotham: add that URL to your /etc/apt/sources.list file [16:37] User postinst hook script [/usr/sbin/update-grub] exited with value 139 [16:37] MrsB: ah ha, my screen saver just went on, and then the interrupt disappeared, so i assume that it is the graphics card, which is also on the same chipset as eth0, which explains why eth0 was there [16:37] sniperjo_ well done, where theres a will theres a way :) [16:38] OK I'm back. Soundconverter didn't work (started hanging, making the output files longer infinitely) then segfaulted when I closed it. [16:38] MrsB: that was just complete chance i was looking at powertop when the screen saver went on ! [16:38] sniperjo_ you should be able to tell by the pci address to make sure [16:38] I just used my mouse and keyboard on another computer, and now when I plug it back into my comp the keyboard works in bios amd grub, but neither work once ubuntu boots [16:39] sniperjo_ lspci on its own is easier to read with less info [16:39] As for mobile media converter, it doesn't seem to use GStreamer [16:40] Rotham: and don't forget to update synaptic/aptitude/apt [16:40] any hints? [16:40] progrock I had that too, its annoying. Plug them back into the same sockets they came out of and they'll probably be fine [16:40] MrsB: ok thanks, thats abit of a shame though, i was hoping to be able to free up that 49% of wakeups :( [16:41] MrsB: lol... this is a rare time I am sad I have 6 USB sockets... this mat take some time [16:41] sniperjo_ turn off the screensaver. You can use the power manager to turn off the screen instead. [16:41] So can anyone suggest a different GStreamer-using audio converter? Command-line is fine, probably even better. [16:41] Hi ! Is there a way to resize a partition without losing any data ? [16:41] progrock Annoying innit! === ring1 is now known as ring0 [16:42] Json, that's the normal behaviour for resizing partitions [16:42] Json: are you running out of space?

[16:43] Json: try gparted. it is best if you use a LiveCD [16:43] I'm having a problem that I have never had before...okay, well when I put in my memory card from my phone so I can put music on it and crap, its the same thing as a usb drive, it says I have don't have permission, I can't delete, or create any files...how can I fix this so I can put more music on my phone memory card? [16:43] hey all i'm getting SIOCADDRT: file exists when I try to restart networking - i don't remember how to fix the error - can anyone help? [16:44] aeon-ltd, No, but I need to create some from a partition that has extra. [16:44] Json: but there are no guarantees about your data so back it up anyways [16:44] An_Ony_Moose Im not sure about gstreamer but sox is a cli audio converter [16:44] HI FOLKS!

[16:45] oh sorry, editor [16:45] krazkidd, Umm, I'm new to Linux and have used windows for a while, any way to resize partitions in ubuntu ? [16:45] nano is cli editor or gedit on desktop [16:45] MrsB: yeah, but i will be using the screen, i just want to get it running as lean as possible [16:46] divided: I got an error like that once when my gateway address was set wrong. It was a long time ago though, so I'm not sure that's all that was wrong. [16:46] sniperjo_ it'll turn on again when you need it [16:46] Json: try putting in your Ubuntu install CD. Don't install but use the boot option and open GParted [16:46] cross_: yeah the gateway/address/netmask are all right - i didn't make any changes to it [16:47] whats the command to fix the respository [16:48] krazkidd, can I use GParted within a running instance of Ubuntu ? Is it reliable ? [16:48] Json: Make sure there are no little 'key' symbols. That means the drive is mounted and you can't mess with it. Right-click the key and there should be an option to unmount that particular partition. Then you just need to right-click your partitions and resize as necessary. [16:48] anyone here uses vifm ? [16:49] Json: It depends if the partitions you want to resize are mounted or not. It will work if they are not mounted. But if you want to resize a system partition like / (root), then no, it won't work. [16:49] krazkidd, I've almost done that but it gives a warning of losing all the data. Does it format and then resize ? [16:49] hghf [16:50] Json: it gives a warning because there is a risk of losing data. So back up before you do it. However, I've resized several partitions without losing any data that I know of. [16:50] krazkidd, Are there other disk utilities in Ubuntu ? What is the equivalent for disk- defrag ? [16:51] there are so many blogs which give tips on ubuntu? are they authentic? where should one rely to get good and relaible info on ubuntu?

[16:52] Json: There are some others, I guess, but it depends on what you want to do. You don't usually need to defrag, though, because the filesystems take care of that. I actually don't know how to do that since I've never needed to. [16:52] Can a server CD be used as a recovery CD? [16:53] Hello..I need help [16:53] there are so many blogs which give tips on ubuntu? are they authentic? where should one rely to get good and relaible info on ubuntu? [16:53] krazkidd, Well, if you haven't lost any data during resizing then I suppose I shouldn't lose any. Any utilities that you can suggest for disk operations ? Like shrink/enlarge, defrag, recovery sodtware for ubuntu ? [16:53] shmup: with nvidia, yes [16:54] Json: As long as your drive isn't nearly full, the filesystems should take care of fragmentation, except for the NTFS filesystem; I'm not sure how that works in GNU/Linux [16:54] my memory card for my phone won't allow me to delete files or put files on it, it says "Read only file system" or w/e...i need to put my files on it ASAP, so please help me so i can do it === help is now known as Guest31223 [16:54] sl33k_: I have never had any issues with the blogs about ubuntu, just make sure they are infact talking about ubuntu, and that the version number is fairly close [16:55] sl33k_: help.ubuntu.com .. probably the best site out there [16:55] Json: I use GParted for all that. What do you mean by recovery software? I just use a Live CD if I ever have a serious problem. [16:55] Kevin-Laptop: have you tried -- cd /media && ls -l === Guest31223 is now known as help`` [16:55] Kevin-Laptop Has the card got a write protect switch on it? [16:55] Json: I haven't lost any data but I also still back up each time :) [16:55] krazkidd, Well, part of my problem involves an NTFS partition that cannot be recognised and so no disk-operations. Any idea on working with NTFS partitions ? [16:55] guys, how to open a VNC connection to current user desktop? [16:56] Json: That's odd that your NTFS partition is not recognized. Make sure the NTFS driver is installed in Synaptic. It is called ntfs-3g. [16:56] meero I dont think you can, I think it starts a new session [16:57] shcherbak: I just did it..: http://pastebin.com/iS2GD1t3 [16:57] krazkidd, I have an NTFS partition that's not recognised. It gives an error about a bad superblock. I have ntfs-3g. Backing up data is good but not always possible. [16:57] MrsB: there should be some way, like in windows... [16:57] Json: But even if it gets recognized, I would be really careful doing those resize operations with it. The ntfs-3g driver, I'm not sure how reliable that is compared to others. [16:57] MrsB: no, its just a small card that is in my phone, and I connect my phone up to my computer by USB, and its not allowing me to delete files or put music files on it..i tried it on 3 different computers that have ubuntu [16:57] Json: Have you tried a filesystem check? [16:57] Hi, does anyone know, where is something like boot file in Ubuntu 10.10 ? [16:58] krazkidd, Alright, I won't touch it using Ubuntu. But how do I get it recognised ? [16:58] nvm. It does. [16:58] meero from what i recall you can start a vnc session at boot time but if you start vncserver when you log in to it it creates a new session [16:59] krazkidd, I can't access it. How do I run a filesystem check on it ? [16:59] Is there any ascii art editors for ubuntu? [16:59] Json: What have you tried so far? Are you expecting it to just show in the drop-down menu or have you tried mounting it explicitly? [16:59] Json, with a Windows system or your Windows Install disc. [16:59] meero you can use ssh and x11forwarding to open programs on the server which display on the host [17:00] MrsB: yes, but it is now exactly what i wanted. [17:00] sbeck, I'd have to re-install windows for that... Can't i access it using ubuntu ? [17:00] MrsB: i would like to view (maybe control) users desktop [17:00] shcherbak: do u know anything that could be wrong with the permissions?? [17:00] MrsB: there is some opption to start vnc in ubuntu desktop , but the user has to start it manualy [17:00] krazkidd, Well I've searched the net and tried the mount command that involves specifying the filesystem. No luck. [17:01] Json, you don't have to. As I said you can use your Windows install disc. [17:01] i would like to start it from command line [17:01] Boot into its recovery console. [17:01] And then enter: chkdsk /r c: [17:01] MrsB: preferably automaticly after boot [17:01] sbeck, That's some headway.. But how do I use it within Ubuntu ? [17:01] Json: I haven't used NTFS in a while. The filesystem checking program is called 'fsck' but you need to find out how well it works with NTFS. Check the man pages and the net before you do anything. I'll try looking it up right now, too [17:01] I just installed some updates and rebooted, cause it told me I had to. I can no longer boot Ubuntu 10.04LTS. The system halts during boot. I suspect that it's the fglrx driver for HD5850 that's the sinner. Any ideas how to fix this? [17:01] hey all i'm getting SIOCADDRT: file exists when I try to restart networking - i don't remember how to fix the error - can anyone help? [17:01] Json: Oh.... [17:02] Kevin-Laptop: maybe this one: http://superuser.com/questions/53667/how-do-i-prevent-a-memory-card-from-mounting-as-read-only-in-ubuntu-linux [17:03] meero Ue the remote desktop preferences in the system menu. Is that hwat you're after [17:03] Json, NTFS is Windows. Linux can use it but if you get errors on NTFS you have (as far as I know) to use a Windows system or the recovery console on your Windows install disc to avoid data loss. [17:03] MrsB: im jus reading that its unrieliable [17:03] meero: Start up application in menu > preferencies [17:03] meero AFAIK that will be rdp rather than vnc [17:04] sbeck, Umm, What's a bad superblock ? I get that error. Any help ? [17:06] Json: Listen to sbeck. An NTFS filesystem check would really best be done in windows with the 'chkdsk' program (or whatever its called). fsck might be able to handle it, but you're really risking your data. [17:07] chkconfig memcached off [17:07] The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart [17:07] shcherbak: I tried this: sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/disk But it still won't work..do I have to take it out and put it back in or? [17:07] #ubuntu-es [17:07] will any AM3 cpu fit any AM3 socket or is there something i am missing that could be a compatibility gotcha? [17:07] Json, the MFT of your NTFS partition might be damaged or lost. [17:07] MrsB: maybe this would work [17:07] Hi, please could anyone help me? I need to add mounting into some kind of boot file that will execute every time, when system boots. But I have actually no idea what file it is and where it is. :( [17:08] Json: Then when you fix that bad superblock, you can try resizing in GParted after, I say again, backing up. [17:08] MrsB: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981 [17:08] Kevin-Laptop: not to many ideas what next. [17:09] So you COULD(!!!) recover it by copy the backup by using testdisk. But I can't give any warranties if you use that way. [17:09] krazkidd, Yes, he's solution seems the most plausible. Can you have a look ? [17:09] krazkidd, http://pastebin.com/GADNPkfB [17:09] http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_NTFS_Boot_and_MFT_Repair [17:09] shcherbak: alright..thanks anyway, im waiting on one of my friends to get online, he usually knows about all the problems i have anyway..lol [17:09] sbeck, MFT as in ? Here's the output of fsck and mount http://pastebin.com/GADNPkfB [17:09] meero It looks like that will enable the remote desktop rpd thingy at login [17:10] meero theres a nice gui to do that tho [17:10] krazkidd, How do I fix a bad superblock ? [17:10] Json: If you have trouble with chkdsk, or if you really want to be on the safe side, use the 'dd' command in conjuction with 'tar' to back up your drive before doing these things. The command should look something like 'dd if=/dev/sdX | tar -cvzf drive_backup.tar.gz' [17:11] Json, are you sure that sda5 is a NTFS partition ? [17:11] sbeck, Yes. I'm sure. === simms is now known as S0NAR [17:11] Json: when you run the mount command with the ntfs driver, you need to use '-t ntfs-3g' [17:11] Hi. [17:12] I have a question to ask about RSS feed readers and whatnot. [17:12] on 10.10 the network connection tab has disappeared from the top panel??? what can i do to get that back??? === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [17:12] krazkidd, That's helpful.. I'll dump the entire contents of the drive. Tried your version of the mount command but the same errror. [17:12] I ask because your system means that there is no NTFS. [17:12] "NTFS signature is missing." [17:12] hi guys! should I install Unity on my big monitor for my desktop computer or it is only for netbooks? [17:12] Json have a look at testdisk, it should be in repo's http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk. I've used that to fix bad superblock before but never tried with windows filesystems [17:12] Json: fsck told you it had a bad superblock because it was using the ext2 filesystem checker, not NTFS [17:13] Should I want the contents of the RSS feed's articles to be downloaded directly to my computer, what should I do? [17:13] klinkicz, what are you trying to mount? [17:13] And what client should I use? I'm currently using the RSS-feed plugin for evolution. [17:13] skrite: Virtualbox shared folder [17:14] krazkidd, Yes, go on... What do i use to check for a bad superblock in an NTFS partition ? [17:14] there are users on my system that are not listed in /home how can i list all users that have an account? without looking at /home? [17:15] EQ, less /etc/passwd [17:15] Json: The bad superblock error was from the ext2 filesystem checker. Since that partition is NTFS, there's no reason to believe there is a bad superblock. [17:15] MrsB, Thanx ! I'll have a look :) [17:16] hi to all [17:16] Hi. [17:16] Json be careful with it! krazkidd is correct fsck won't handle ntfs [17:16] So about the RSS feeds. [17:16] EQ: Look at the `getpwent` command. [17:16] on 10.10 the network connection tab has disappeared from the top panel??? what can i do to get that back??? [17:17] Json, I already tolsd you about Testdisk. === marc__ is now known as Guest12048 [17:19] MrsB, Would e2fsck help ? It doesn't work. here's the output : http://pastebin.com/7bSn2BH2 [17:19] Json: Boot into your Ubuntu LiveCD and open GParted and see if your NTFS partition still isn't recognized. If it is, then you are likely missing a bit of software on your installed system. You can open Xchat from there (or install it real quick). [17:19] EQ: For example: `getent passwd` will print the list of local users. [17:20] on 10.10 the network connection tab has disappeared from the top panel??? what can i do to get that back??? [17:20] sbeck, Yes, it's Testdisk or the Windows disk, as you said earlier. [17:20] hi im using ubuntu 10.10 with a nvidia graphic card yesterday i was able to log in on my ubunt system without a problem.. every few often when i try to load my system it goes to a blank screen [17:20] Testdisk isn't Windows install disc [17:20] battle_warrior: is there a text prompt to login? [17:20] Json: The e2fsck gave you an error because it thought it was checking an ext2 filesystem, not NTFS [17:20] no [17:21] krazkidd, I've tried that ! It doesn't work. Which software would you think I'm missing ? [17:21] usually if i press cntrl alt f1. through f9 it gets to a screen that i can use [17:21] but now it doesnt [17:22] krazkidd, fsck is out and so is e2fsck. Any others that I can use ? [17:22] battle_warrior: i was heading to that suggestion... now i'm not too sure [17:22] is it a default desktop installation? [17:22] yes [17:22] Guys, I was wondering how I can make Launcher.exe and WoW.exe Executable? Every time I try to click the check box to make it run as one, it unchecks itself. [17:23] I have tried chmod from the command line. === akssps011_ is now known as akssps011 [17:23] primestone you gotta right click it [17:23] and click properties [17:23] its all in the permissions [17:23] I did. [17:23] you may want to try a reinstall, and install the nvidia drivers from synaptic rather than the GUI that they have [17:23] It unchecks itself. [17:23] i duno then [17:23] Primestone: i suppose this is on fat32 or ntfs? [17:23] NTFS [17:23] computerwiz my dad did install it from the synaptic [17:23] It's on my external HDD. [17:24] Primestone: well, both of them do not know any kind of unix rights [17:24] battle_warrior: hmmm.. do you know if he installed ssh? [17:24] yeap [17:24] I'm trying to get my ubuntu computer to play a file on my n810. I basically am using the program motion to motion detect from a camera source and play a sound, but I would like my n810 to play a sound in another location through the network. Any ideas? [17:24] sdx23, then how can I allow it to run as an exec'? [17:24] battle_warrior: alright, try that -- ssh into the computer and uninstall the nvidia drivers [17:24] i watched the whole thing...again it works fine after awhile... like i can play it for days [17:24] Json, perhaps there is a way to fix it by Ubuntu. [17:24] battle_warrior: that has saved me numerous times [17:24] computerwiz how? [17:24] sbeck, Is there ? Wow ! Great ! How ?? [17:24] is there any improvement[s] in x.org/open source video drivers in 10.10 over 10.04? [17:24] you said he installed ssh, so you can do a command on a remote computer like this: ssh useranme@hostname [17:25] on 10.10 the network connection tab has disappeared from the top panel??? what can i do to get that back??? it's the piece that sits on the top panel and looks like a piece of pie [17:25] Primestone: mounting the partition with the right parameters. which in some cases may be a bad idea as well. [17:25] i use a windows laptop besides the desktop [17:25] I've searched for it. You could try ntfsfix, it's part of ntfsprogs. [17:25] Json: I'm not sure exactly what could be missing, besides the ntfs-3g driver, if that is indeed the problem. As for continuing, try searching for some bootup/recovery software that explicitly says it can check NTFS filesystems. [17:25] battle_warrior: hmm.. get putty [17:25] sdx23, or I have to make an EXT4 partition and copy it to it? [17:25] digitalfiz, a script that either SSH or FTP to it [17:25] help - only can log into ubuntu 9.10 using failsafe gnome [17:25] Oo now it works [17:25] battle_warrior: which chipset is it? [17:26] after many time resetting [17:26] Primestone: you do not have to, but this may be sensible though. [17:26] i dont know... my dad built it from the ground up [17:26] krazkidd, Yes, I'ce searched but they all run on Windows. I'll keep looking though. [17:26] ? [17:26] battle_warrior: i build point-of-sale terminals based on ubuntu, my latest batch used nvidia 6150SE -- i've had bad luck with those [17:26] Json, install the package ntfsprogs === administrator_ is now known as agriffen [17:26] battle_warrior: the synaptic installer for nvidia drivers helps usually though === agriffen is now known as agriffin [17:27] If I'm using ALSA and PulseAudio, which do I set as my output device in apps like VLC? [17:27] *grabs shotgun* [17:27] After that use: sudo ntfsfix /dev/your_ntfs_partition [17:27] ugh this pc is evil [17:27] At present I'm not at the mac.. but I have a mac with a blank harddrive, and no OS X disks. I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 on it. Anything in particular I'll need to do? [17:28] Json: Oh nice! 'ntfsprogs' may be the ticket. I didn't even know about that. Good find, sbeck [17:28] sbeck, done. I'm using it. Here's the output : http://pastebin.com/eycf1PJ9 [17:28] sdx23, this was? [17:28] krazkidd, Have a look : http://pastebin.com/eycf1PJ9 [17:28] Blocky: PulseAudio.. despite how much trouble PulseAudio causes, if everything uses it, things tend to work better. [17:29] computerwiz care to explain something to me... how is it that i can play the game on any day when my pc will let me.. but yet theres days it wont let me do naything [17:29] Primestone: hu? [17:29] Json, ir seems that you'll have to use chkdsk. [17:29] You said this may be more sensible. [17:29] Bob_Dole, I'm having a hell of a time trying to hear anything at all through my TOSLINK SPDIF [17:29] is there any improvement[s] in x.org/open source video drivers in 10.10 over 10.04? [17:29] Were you referring to making an EXT4 partition on the NTFS Drive? [17:30] battle_warrior: i recommend reinstalling, it sounds like some of the settings were messed [17:30] battle_warrior: a huge pain, i know [17:30] Json: I see. So now you've got another recommendation for chkdsk ;) [17:30] But i dont have any of the cds... and reintsllaing wow will take forever.. [17:30] sbeck, 'sudo: chkdsk: command not found' ! Where do I go from here ? [17:30] battle_warrior: I have no idea what is going on.. try reinstalling the nvidia drivers, that is all I can suggest [17:31] ok [17:31] Primestone: copying it to a partition with a proper filesystem as e.g. ext3/4 [17:31] is no one answering because i need to google it more? [17:31] krazkidd, Not so fast ! 'sudo: chkdsk: command not found' ! What next ? [17:31] i felt ive done quite enough of that, and i dont have a clear answer [17:33] Json, chkdsk is a Microsoft Tool so you have to boot Windows or use the recovery console from your Windows install disc. [17:33] blocky: don't know much about spdif, but I know that conflicts with alsa can horribly distort audio, and using pulseaudio usually avoids that. [17:33] I have a question about RSS feeds. [17:33] I already told you about that way. [17:33] Json, and you will also need to have your administrator password, if memory serves [17:33] where should i put additions to my $PATH? I was putting them in ~/,profile but i'm getting duplicates of the directories in my $PATH on echo, not a big deal just annoying [17:34] and that is the extent of my knowledge about this topic. [17:34] Michel, what is the question? [17:34] sbeck, Aargh ! Back to Windows then... I'll reinstall it after resizing it the way you suggested... [17:35] Yo don't have to reinstall Windows. [17:35] I want to download the contents of my RSS feeds to a computer as they come. [17:35] I don't know how to achieve that. [17:35] vic20gmr, Yes. I'll have to create one before I use it ! [17:35] crud... very sorry to whoever answered my question earlier, but can they repeat it please? [17:35] I've tried it with both Liferea and with Evolution's RSS feed plugin. [17:35] Just use your install disc to fix the partition [17:35] Michel, oh! mmmm let me check [17:35] Thank you. [17:36] Michel, also when speaking to someone in particular here type the first 2 or 3 letters of their name and hit the tab button to be sure you have it then type your message,,,this way the person is allerted [17:36] ok i have a usb aduio device [17:36] ntu-nl [17:36] sbeck, Use the install disc to repair without installing it ? I'll have a go ! [17:37] Ah. you mean the auto-username completion feature, coz_? [17:37] Json, look in your qry [17:37] Michel, yes way better :) [17:37] I opened one. [17:37] Michel, I wish I knew about that before... [17:37] I'll remember to use it, coz_. [17:37] anyone seen directories duplicating in $PATH before? [17:37] ok i have a usb audio device for my sound input and my sound prefrences see that the device is reading the sound input but i cant hear it coming through my speakers (on another card) [17:37] coz_, there should be a !trigger explaining that. I see it often. :P [17:37] krazkidd , I'm using it to download comics and articles. [17:37] An_Ony_Moose 'man sox' [17:38] zer0rez, what does your .profile look like? [17:38] Comics by the means of the "Archive bing" site which offers RSS feeds of comic strips (as images) of popular webcomics, krazkidd . [17:38] hi all! [17:38] Hi. [17:38] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294661/ anyone can tell me what to do next? [17:38] Doinkle, I think there is [17:38] !name [17:39] Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more [17:39] Michel, I meant the auto-name-complete :) I have a few RSS comic subscriptions myself [17:39] krazkidd: it's the stock w/ this line being the only change: [17:39] PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/bin/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/:$HOME/bin/arduino/:$HOME/bin/processing/:$PATH" [17:39] how can I ghost in ubuntu? [17:39] hi [17:39] eureka_, you can try clonezilla or redo [17:39] it's just phpmyadmin [17:39] zer0rez, and what is the result of 'echo $PATH'? [17:39] MrsB, that won't work because is doesn't support SPC700, but I have a GStreamer plugin for it. [17:39] Michel, the only thing I can think of is downloading the web page it self for offline viewing [17:39] krazkidd : From Archive Bing? [17:39] krazkidd: let me pastebin it as it's long [17:40] An_Ony_Moose Sorry, thats the only one I know [17:40] So there's no way to download it automatically, coz_? [17:40] Michel, i did finf this but not sure its what you want http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-save-web-pages-and-web-sites-for-offline-viewing [17:40] MrsB, thanks though :) [17:40] Michel, if the comics are stored in a certain manner, a wget script would do the trick [17:40] Michel, No, just a couple. I'll look at archive bing, though. [17:40] zer0rez, thanks [17:41] Michel, well...you might have to do a more exhuasitve search on google for this than I did...probably using ubuntu download web page offline viewing [17:41] Doinkle : What's a wget script? [17:41] If tomatos are fruit, doesn't that mean that ketchup is a smoothie? [17:41] Michel, cancel out of the script [17:41] Michel, man wget [17:41] coz_, I already have the Firefox plugin ReadItLater. [17:42] Ah. [17:42] Michel, and that doesnt do what you want? [17:42] Michel, ok, what is Archive Bing? [17:42] But I have no idea how to operate FTP and HTTP shenanigens. [17:42] zer0rez, Forgot to mention, I'm doing some android and arduino stuff myself!! [17:43] krazkidd: sweet :) [17:43] Basically I want the RSS feed's contents, which are comic strips (solely images), to get downloaded automatically when they get updated in my RSS feed reader. [17:43] krazkidd :http://www.archivebinge.net/ [17:43] hi all, I want to start extra x-server, but when I type Ctrl+Alt+F2 ... F6 and insert startx -- :1 it's works, after that I returns to main x (Ctrl+Alt+F7) and returns to extra x-server I have only x-terminal=( [17:43] How I can fix it? [17:43] krazkidd: i'm going to put a few carriage returns as it's not wrapping in pastebn [17:44] Michel, aaahhh, was missing an 'e' in my search. Thanks! [17:44] sdx23, any reason why it's saying I don't have permission to copy to the EXT4 drive I just made on this external HDD? Copying from NTFS->EXT4. Must I gksudo nautilis? [17:44] krazkidd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535280/ [17:44] that's all one line though [17:44] krazkidd : That's my fault, then. I should apologize. :P [17:44] i have a usb audio device reading my sound input my sound options show that it can read the input fine , now my other card controls sound out but i cant hear the audio input (speakers work , plays all other sound on the computer) [17:44] * krazkidd looks at pastebin link [17:45] hi all, I want to start extra x-server, but when I type Ctrl+Alt+F2 ...

[17:45] Doinkle : have you ever try it? [17:45] eureka_, yes [17:45] alexey, give your posts time for others to read them.... === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [17:46] sorry [17:46] Anyone reason why it's saying I don't have permission to copy to the EXT4 drive I just made on this external HDD? Copying from NTFS->EXT4. Must I gksudo nautilis? [17:46] Primestone: i guess you're lacking write permission on the new partition. [17:47] hey [17:47] possible to get the intel card on a eeepc 1015pn working and not ion2? [17:47] ok [17:48] zer0rez, first, try putting $PATH at the beginning of that line. I'm thinking that it adds those other entries one at a time, and then they appear in $PATH before you get to it [17:48] krazkidd: ah good call [17:49] * share lol [17:49] Hi. I have a MacBookPro from january with maverick on it. As far as i know, it boots in compatibility mode so ubuntu sees the nvidia geforce 9400m graphics card. Is it possible to get ubuntu to use the intel card instead? [17:49] Doinkle : thanks! [17:49] krazkidd: anyway to re-load profile w/o reloading terminal? [17:50] can someone please tell me why on a fresh install of 10.10 server I actually had to type "sudo apt-get install unzip" [17:50] sdx23, I got it. Had to go to media and right click the drive and give permission. [17:50] Thanks again. ^_^ [17:50] hi all, I want to start extra x-server, but when I type Ctrl+Alt+F2 ... F6 and insert startx -- :1 it's works, after that I returns to main x (Ctrl+Alt+F7) and returns to extra x-server I have only x-terminal=( [17:51] dans326: haha, ouch. [17:51] why isnt that installed by default? [17:51] dans326, mm did you just right click Extract here ...<< that didnt work? [17:51] I use webmin and in file manager I hit extract and it told me unzip command was missing ... [17:52] hi [17:52] so I tried via command line and it said [17:52] i have a usb audio device reading my sound input my sound options show that it can read the input fine , now my other card controls sound out but i cant hear the audio input (speakers work , plays all other sound on the computer) [17:52] I installed open vpn. generated all certs, but when I try to connect with a windows client it asks for a user name and password? I never configured a password [17:52] the same [17:53] 10.10 the network connection icon on the top panel is gone. What do I do to get it back??? [17:53] zer0rez, hang on, i'm on the phone. [17:53] hello all [17:53] krazkidd: no rush, thanks for your help === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [17:55] can't figure out if there is some way to add http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to /etc/apt/sources.list and use apt-get to install specific kernel? [17:56] zer0rez, I'm not sure how to reload your profile in the same shell, without just starting a new shell. But I also don't remember if the .profile is read by a 'regular' shell, or a 'login' shell. [17:56] When laptop-mode is enabled on my laptop, I lose my bluetooth device connection menu (where it allows you to choose the device and "connect", etc.). Going to bluetooth preferences dialog shows the device but doesn't allow me to do anything (i.e., connect). This happens even after the laptop is plugged back in. Only a reboot gets it back. What is going wrong? [17:57] krazkidd: yea just means i need to log out of irc heh === sikaru is now known as COMEPOLLAS26 [17:57] if restarting your terminal isn't reloading the .profile, then you need a login shell, which you can do from the command line [17:57] hola [17:57] HIII [17:57] zer0rez, but none of your other terminals will have it loaded... [17:57] I USE UBUNTU 10.10 [17:57] pablo: you don't need to use caps. [17:58] tripps is bluetooth manager or the like in your menu's? [17:58] krazkidd: byobu is my default heh, has it's ups and downs [17:58] aight i'll be right [17:58] 10.10 the network connection icon on the top panel is gone. What do I do to get it back??? [17:59] http://turkey.spmgame.de/partner.php?ID=268414 [17:59] MrsB, yes. Under System->Preferences->Bluetooth. It's the same dialog box that comes up if I click on the BT notification area icon and choose preferences. [17:59] Anyone have any success getting webcams working on flash sites? it work ok though v4l but it's kinda broken works half the time, is there a front end of some sort that I can push my webcam through and make it work better? === realeyes is now known as Laggg [18:00] tripps do you have a fn key combination or button to turn BT on? [18:01] can someone help me with getting my broadcom sta wireless driver working it says disconnected [18:01] MrsB, yes. And it's on. there is a BT notification light on my laptop. [18:01] tripps does it help to turn it off and back on again? [18:01] MrsB, no [18:02] swim: The "Network Manager" applet should be started by the default session. To troubleshoot, run `nm-applet` at a terminal prompt and check whether you get the icon. [18:02] does ubuntu, when boot with grub-efi, still not have 2D/3D acceleration? [18:02] krazkidd: nope, still duplicating [18:02] cannot intialize the D-bus manager [18:02] with a Radeon R500 chip* [18:03] dajhorn it says that it is already running, but i don't see it anywhere [18:03] computerwiz [18:03] could i pm u for a min? [18:03] swim: Kill it and restart it. [18:03] please how to add mounting into startup? I'm tired of typing "sudou mount -t vboxsf folder ~/share " every time I start my virtual ubuntu :( (ubuntu 10.10) [18:03] do i just type stop nm-applet? [18:03] krazkidd: ah hm i wonder if it's the if loop before it causing issues [18:04] swim: `killall nm-applet` [18:04] is the guy who mentioned ktorrent still here? i cant remeber your name to save my life! [18:04] Can anybody point me at a howto that covers building a deb from all of a deb source pulled out of a pool (foo.orig.tar.gz, foo.dsc, foo.diff.gz) please? [18:04] tripps does 'hcitool dev' show anything? [18:04] There's no debian directory in the foo.orig.tar.gz [18:04] swim: nm-applet is usually started by gnome-session. start/stop won't work. [18:04] MrsB, yes. hci0 and the MAC [18:05] zer0rez, To test in the future, try 'sudo login'. That should reload your .profile (only in that shell). [18:05] tripps how about hcitool hci0 scan [18:05] Funcan: `dpkg-source -x MyPackage.dsc` to unpack the source code, cd into the package directory, and then run `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc`. [18:05] salut à tous! je voudrais trouver un logiciel libre pour demultiplexer des films?? any idea?? [18:05] i killed it, then when i restarted it it just says applet now removed from the notification area followed by some stuff on lower lines dajhorn [18:05] MrsB, nothing [18:06] zer0rez, There are other files that function similar to .profile; do you have any of those with that line? [18:06] swim: It said "applet now removed" when you restarted it? [18:06] oops wrong channel [18:06] MrsB, note the devices are listed in the BT preferences dialog box, but I can't do anything with them other than choosing "remove" [18:07] My gnome-system-monitor is using 100% of my cpu a lot of the time, is this normal? [18:07] Greetings, I have a side by side installation of ubuntu 10.10 that i want to remove. this computer also has xp and win7 on it. how do i remove ubuntu and get rid of the grub menu? [18:07] "applet now removed from notification area" [18:07] tripps have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart [18:08] MrsB, did that just now. Now hcitool dev shows no devices at all. [18:08] tripps no icon either? [18:08] dajhorn: That's a start, thanks. It is failing to find a changelog; is there somewhere that normally lives or do I need to recreate it by hand? [18:08] I have a problem with broadcom sta wireless driver. I am running Ubuntu 10.10. When i try to connect it says no networks found. [18:09] MrsB, I see the icon, but it only gives me "Turn off bluetooth" and "preferences." Going to preferences dialog only shows "bluetooth is disabled" and a button to turn it on, which does nothing. [18:09] swim: I just tried that on my workstation. You should have gotten" Message: applet now embedded in the notification area" === armando is now known as moltenbobcat [18:09] Greetings, I have a side by side installation of ubuntu 10.10 that i want to remove. this computer also has xp and win7 on it. how do i remove ubuntu and get rid of the grub menu? [18:09] Funcan: Welcome. The changelog must be debian/changelog. [18:09] tripps I've run into the same problem. I think its a blue problem. [18:09] tripps bluez rather [18:10] MrsB, ah. I guess I can blacklist it from laptop-mode so it won't trip it up. [18:10] dajhorn: Where does the changelog normally come (as i nwhat file) from when you do apt-get source? [18:10] tripps i'd like to know how to do that! [18:10] krazkidd: nope no others have been modified [18:10] MrsB, but everything comes back after a reboot. Shouldn't I be able to at least get it working again without rebooting? (the linux way ;0) [18:10] that's what's weird i think it's this if loop that loads the line into $PATH [18:10] swim: You may have accidentally resized or removed the Notification Area applet such that you can't see the icon. Try resizing your panel items, or resetting your destkop entirely. [18:11] zer0rez, did you just log out of X? Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login [18:11] zer0rez, Then 'echo $PATH' and see if it still duplicates [18:11] Funcan: The debian/changelog file is usually part of the diff file that you mentioned. [18:11] tripps you would think so. I haven't had any luck tho. [18:11] can someone tell me how to edit the grub2 file ? [18:12] Funcan: You can also get that kind of error message if the debian/changelog file has a syntax error. Run `debchange` inside the package directory and check whether it complains. [18:12] great, a whole new problem [18:12] The SPC files I'm trying to convert are loops [18:12] I desire to boot my mac with EFI, and only boot Ubuntu (10.04 preferably) using Grub-EFI. My mac has a Radeon X1600, which is well supported by the Radeon Driver(the open source driver). Have there been enough advances to allow 3D Acceleration with this setup? Most I've been seeing about the issue is from '07 and '08, which claims it won't work because the drivers expect the VGA Bios, which is not provided by EFI. [18:12] krazkidd: still dupes [18:13] so the converter makes them loop forever, and produces very long output files that never end. Can anyone help me with this? [18:13] Funcan: Remember that you'll need the Ubuntu development stack. Things like the build-essential, devscripts, and debhelper packages. `apt-get build-dep MyPackage` is also helpful. [18:13] zer0rez, Ok...hm... [18:13] Hi there, I really need help. How can I uninstall ubuntu 10.10 and grub2 and not mess up the win 7 and xp already on this computer? [18:14] krazkidd: weird hu [18:14] i'll troubleshoot some more in a minute [18:14] gotta run some errands [18:15] MrsB, definitely on my system it is the USB_AUTOSUSPEND creating the problem methinks [18:15] MrsB, on my system the BT hardware is on the USB bus [18:16] MakaH: Boot into the Windows 7 system, run `diskpart` at a command prompt, and tell it to reinstall the MBR. [18:16] exit [18:16] tripps on mine it was random and happened shortly after getting it started. I have a usb bt doodah. Once it died it wouldn't come back. I gave up on it in the end and plugged the phone in instead. [18:17] Anyone familiar with Sun GridEngine? (Running on Ubuntu Server) [18:17] I have to go. [18:17] MrsB, the blacklist on the autosuspend is pretty flaky too. I think I'll disable autosuspend all together. Now looking through the /etc/bluetooth conf files. Perhaps something hard coded there [18:17] Bye [18:17] dajhorn: Sorry, I didn't cd into the new source directory before running the 'dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc', working now. Many thanks [18:17] what's the best way to get a computer to auto establish an ssh connection to a server upon internet connection?

[18:23] and back [18:23] anima..: use gstreamer packages, if u try to run mp3 in rhythombox or mplayer, it will persue u to search for it [18:23] tripps give it a whirl, I'd be interested to know how you get on [18:24] dmar198, you want to hear your microphone before or after it's processed by whatever audio software you have? if you want to hear it before, you can just use a mixer program to set your soundcard to pass through [18:24] i just asked how to do it with dd [18:24] dmar198: recent ubuntu versions don't come with a mixer anymore, but you can easily install one [18:24] doesnt matter what distro you use -.- [18:24] LjL :: the latter would be best. What should I install? [18:24] anyone got idea to install packages in a "total" offline computer? ( I have the necessary deb packages, which I collectd from my /apt/archieves) [18:24] dmar198: like gnome-alsamixer [18:24] @Animagladius the "Lame" Plugin should work for MP3, not sure about wma, I avoid them like the plague [18:24] okay I'll try that. Thanks, LjL [18:24] so does anyone know how to make bootable usb using dd ? [18:25] that's sudo apt-get gnome-alsamixer, right? [18:25] radi: what is dd?

[18:26] ratul_: Look at something like the apt-zip or apt-offline package. There are several other utilities that do the same thing. [18:26] strike_ avidemux? or ffmpeg cli [18:26] dajhorn: thanks, but what are the other utilites?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:28] dmar198, it's not the soundbars that you need to change, but the "mute" button or whatever it's called (i don't use gnome-alsamixer myself since i'm on KDE). but there should be some kind of toggle switch.

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

Got a strange message that seemed to indicate that grub wouldn't be installed, and then, after successfully rebooting, did an apt-get dist-upgrade to get the remaining two kernel-related packages upgraded. After the dist-upgrade, the system would no longer boot, throwing segfaults. I'm reinstalling now, but wondered if anyone knew what that was. [18:34] canecorso: Look at ubottu's response to you. [18:34] leave [18:34] This is my first time working with 10.04 server LTS. [18:34] quit [18:35] Hello. I'm using debian but ubuntu gots better support and is debian based.

[18:35] webbynode is a good server??? [18:36] IsmAvatar: When you first connect to a new server over ssh it asks you to verify that the host key information is correct, your client either is somehow supressing that message, or answered 'no' to it. [18:36] kaustadvdm thank you. i installed it. [18:36] Actually. [18:36] It's probably a different host key from the one in ~/.ssh/known_hosts. [18:36] quizme glad i could help you. in fact you can give me feedback on how it helped you. in that case i can switch back to terminal :) [18:36] If it said "verification failed." [18:37] krger: Usually it should alert you that it changed, rather than just completely failing. [18:37] krger: it's a fresh install, and the client has no known_hosts file === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [18:37] Although that depends on how the options are setup.

I can't connect to ICQ last two days :( [18:38] kaustadvm is there a way to save configurations ? [18:38] Well then. [18:39] Pici: the client is linux, so how might I go about finding out why it's suppressing that stuff and how to stop it, if that's what you suspect? [18:39] quizme sorry, I'm not sure. I just knew about the software. I'll install it now and let you know [18:40] kaustavdm it's ok you don't have to go to that trouble [18:40] IsmAvatar: I'd turn up the verbosity by appending a -v to the ssh command and see if anything pops out at you. [18:40] Hi all, is there a default way to prepare for a do-release-upgrade by downloading all packages in advance, like the --downlaod-only option on apt-get ?

I've gotten the "You chose not to install GRUB to any devices" ... it's lying. I chose /dev/sda. How do I fix this? [18:41] tripps you're a step beyond me at least. Let me know if you do find a solution please! [18:42] kaustavdm: i don't think u can save. but maybe it's possible to config it with the start-up command.. [18:42] ( 10.04 LTS server ) [18:42] quizme that can be possible. i'm trying to look it up in the docs [18:43] hey LjL, can you help me again?

[19:10] Hi All, updated to ubuntu 10 yesterday on a dualboot system. Now, after a spotless update ubuntu is trying to startup but "hangs" after a couple of secs. I asume that it might be something with my graphics card since my screen falls back to stand-by mode (so, nog signal from my pc anymore) Anyone with good ideas????? BTW: starting up in "safe mode" doesn't do the track too. [19:10] it really creeps me out [19:10] d0nus: use a different theme [19:10] MrsB, it appears the problem really is suspending/resuming and not laptopmode at all [19:10] How is possible that still Yahoo Mail appears that has not been tested with my operating system ? [19:11] MrsB, see this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/591298 [19:11] Ubuntu of course! [19:11] I have a quick question.. why is it that when installing ubuntu server 10.10 from a usb stick, the installer installs GRUB on the bloody USB stick... >.< [19:11] alienkid10 yes fspot can...just hook it to a projector then add files in the order you want and press play...thats it [19:11] Thunderfox: so it's hanging for a couple secs? that's it? [19:11] Is there any way to undo a rm -rf command [19:11] thanks [19:11] MrsB, doing killall bluetooth-applet ; bluetooth-applet does the trick [19:12] does fspots window need to be on the projector? [19:12] because i usualy have the laptop in my room (where I got a switch to my other computer), but from time to time I move it down to the basement and connect it down there (where the router is). Also I hate having this kind of problem since it probably means something is wrong with the OS... [19:12] Is there any way to undo a rm -rf command [19:12] !repeat [19:12] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:22] Anyone knows why ubuntu hangs during startup after update to ubuntu 10? Couple of secs after startup my screens falls back to stand-by (so, no signal from PC anymore) and that's all.

[19:24] goltoof_: thanks [19:24] hey folks just installed ubuntu server and installed gui, problem is I cant access synaptic from gnome, will not aloow me to authenticate although I set myself up as admin, is there a specific group I need to be a part of before I can access synaptic? [19:25] someone here with samsung clp 310 printer? [19:25] which are the companies that sell laptops with ubuntu (or any other linux distro) pre-installed? [19:25] ayush_: System76, Zareason, Dell ....

Even taking down bt with hciconfig down and then bringing it back up, then restarting the bluetooth-applet makes everything work [19:26] annecy but compiz works with gnome [19:26] (re-asking, sorry:) Hi all, is there a default way to prepare for a do-release-upgrade by downloading all packages in advance, like the --downlaod-only option on apt-get ? [19:26] Does anyone know how to backup to a different folder using remastersys? (default folder is home) [19:26] mneptok, are there specific dell models that ship with ubuntu or can you request them to install ubuntu on any laptop they sell? [19:26] does anyone know about ubuntu server? [19:26] so logout of your session and at the bottom you will see an options button....then where it says Window Manager change that to Gnome and then you can run compiz [19:26] ayush_: http://dell.com/ubuntu [19:26] ayush_: i think dell does.. but not exclusively [19:27] RottNKorpse: i chose fluxbox from the login menu as an experiment and i would like to switch back [19:27] tripps Thats good news then, I'll see if i can still find the doodah and give it another go, thanks for your help :) [19:27] how to get the ubuntu version im running?

[19:27] can someone help me ? [19:27] Does anyone know how to backup to a different folder using remastersys? (default folder is home) [19:28] MrsB, clearly for me the best idea is to kill the applet and restart it upon resume using scripts [19:28] dragonkeeper: wassup? [19:28] list [19:28] Seppoz: lsb_release -a [19:28] thats how you get fluxbox to start so should be how you get gnome back [19:28] lazarus... meet dragonkeeper [19:28] thanks [19:28] RottNKorpse: nope [19:28] RottNKorpse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535319/ [19:29] ActionParsnip i have gotten ubuntu to play my line in sound but i cant control the volume on it or mute it ( can only do it with main volume) [19:29] Seppoz would you like just the ubuntu version OR ALL info about your comp [19:29] tripps my problem wasnt related to suspend's but it was same symptoms so hopefully that will cure them too [19:29] ActionParsnip oh also if i cant the input device it still plays [19:29] my ubuntu says no updates available when i only have 6.06. any help? [19:29] annecy: to get gnome,log off,click your name then select gnome at the bottom, enter your pass, hit enter [19:29] GreenBoss start up your Software Center [19:29] try that way [19:29] yxz97, Linux tends to remain unsupported officially by many companies, however the community usually does a good job of getting things to work, eventually. I know the web version of yahoo messenger has worked great with the versions of Linux I have tried (with firefox) Almost all webmail pages work just fine with Linux as well. [19:29] is there any other application available to backup my current ubuntu install rather than remastersys?

[19:31] yes [19:31] anncey it work now [19:31] thank you rww do you know a little bit about ubuntu server [19:31] stephen__: there is no support for it here. The release is dead [19:31] Try Alt+F2 and type update-manager -d [19:32] anyone need help i will try to assist [19:32] already tried that. doesn't work [19:32] ActionParsnip: not entirely dead. [19:32] enathu: The -d switch to update-manager and do-release-upgrade is for upgrading to unreleased development versions of Ubuntu, and should not be given in this channel. [19:32] RottNKorpse: failed to download,,, check your internet connection [19:32] stephen__: follow the "Network Upgrade from 6.06 for Ubuntu Servers" steps, then [19:32] i also tried the -c and it does not work [19:32] i m using ubuntu studio 9.10 can i upgreade directly to 10.10 ? [19:32] tripps good luck and thanks, I have to go [19:32] stephen__: is in server or desktop install [19:33] mneptok: true, hence ^ [19:33] rww: ok. sorry about that! [19:33] stephen_ have you tried downloading the iso from ubuntu.comm and burning it to disc to upgrade that way...it probably wont work to be honest and you will more than likely have to reformat so backup your stuff first [19:33] enathu: no problem, common mistake ;) [19:33] shiftingcontrol: you must upgrade to lucid first, or clean install maverick [19:33] Hi, I have a strange situation with the Permissions tab of the context menu Properties of a shell script. I click on the execute checkbox - momentarily it does check, but then resets. The file is in a folder within a USB volume [19:33] rww: cool! [19:34] intrader: what sort of file system is the file on? [19:34] how do I logout from fluxbox [19:34] I think it is FAT [19:34] ActionParsnip:if i upgrade to lucid will my mysql database contents and installed package in 9.10 ll be gone ? [19:34] when looking up the sources list it has breezy in there. sort of like half dapper half breezy [19:34] shiftingcontrol direct upgrades are from the previous release only [19:34] ActionParsnip, it is FAT [19:35] realcooluser, I understand some companies do not support Linux software, but what I don't understand is why a service such as the one that yahoo provides, when I login in the mail says that the OS is not [19:35] RottNKorpse:what does that mean ? [19:35] shiftingcontrol upgrade will not remove your applications [19:35] shiftingcontrol: they will beupgraded alongside, the database data will stand but should be backed up if it is of value, upgrade or not [19:35] How to access root folder in kubuntu? [19:35] realcooluser, supported, since the browser should no relies on the OS to provide the service [19:35] can anyone know how to backup to different location rather than home folder using remastersys Backup? [19:35] it means 9.10 goes to 10.4 and 10.4 to 10.10 but 9.10 cant go to 10.10 [19:35] yxz97: same situation occurs with microsoft based services like silverlight [19:35] !list [19:35] 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 » [19:36] intrader: that's why, fat can't hold linux permissions. Is it a script? A windows app? [19:36] yxz97, Linux has a wide variety of configurations, rather than officially support all of them, Yahoo just claims they are unsupported to avoid having to deal with any support issues. You can always feel free to come here to ask support questions if you do have problems however. [19:36] RottNKorpse:ok,will take back and try for the upgrade [19:36] ActionParsnip, it is a unix script [19:36] !list [19:36] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[19:37] RottNKorpse: yes [19:37] I can't change the backup location as I am running out of space in my home dir. Does anyone know how to backup to different location rather than home folder using remastersys Backup? [19:37] GreenBoss any news or waiting on me?

[19:37] RottNKorpse: failed to download,,, check your internet connection [19:38] enathu shouldnt backup to home anyway should backup to external drive or to the cloud...otherwise its pointless [19:38] GreenBoss have you contacted your ISP yet? [19:38] chris____: alt+f2 and run: nm-applet ,you don't need it if networking is already configured though [19:38] ActionParsnip, can't use the context menu anymore? [19:38] thanks [19:39] intrader: no idea, could make a nautilus script for it [19:39] RottNKorpse: indeed. That's why I am here. Do you know how to change the backup default destination in Remastersys Backup? [19:39] RottNKorpse: no,,, as i am connected on the same network now,,, i thought it was a linux problem [19:39] hi all! I'm now using Ubuntu Live and I like to know if there's a way to check *now* and in-live my two sata-hdd to find and fix bad sectors? Disk Utility says "disk has a few bad sectors" [19:40] enathu it should have some kind of preferences or options window but sorry I dont use that particular app - I use Back In Time and Simple Backup [19:40] ActionParsnip, very inconvenient - I carry the USB between unices mostly. Only once in a while I use Windows XP [19:40] intrader: fat cannot hold linux permissions. Its far too basic,as is ntfs. So the only way wouldbe to copy the script to a linux file system to change the executable bit and use it there [19:41] GreenBoss it could be but it could also be that your ISP has connection on your IRC port but not on Port 80 which is for websites [19:41] Hello friends from abroad. I have little question. Is it possible to write .exe programs (in delphi) on linux? I have Lubuntu 10.04 PL, and Wine. [19:41] ActionParsnip, so what changed recently? [19:41] RottNKorpse: It doesn't have itself. By using Back In Time, can I able to backup all my settings and apps in my current installation? [19:41] hello, how caN I EDIT GRUB in order to boot in 3 secs? [19:41] soz caps [19:41] RottNKorpse: i am browsing through my other laptop [19:41] UbbyUser: badsectors == disk is dying. You may find some joyin fsck but ultimately the device will fail soon [19:42] ActionParsnip: i did that and it still isn't there, do i need to relog or something? [19:42] ActionParsnip, I had a long conversation that was flagged as a bug before the release of Maverick about the behavior of .sh files from USBs [19:42] intrader: nothing, that's how it is [19:42] what os does it have GreenBoss [19:42] vista [19:42] hi there. a few time ago i start using emerald. now i have all windows from any app without the superior bar where used to be the close/minimize/maximize buttons. how can i fix this? [19:43] enathu BIT can technically do that but its not that simple...it saves files and folders but since linux saves preferences into files it technically could [19:43] ActionParsnip, it had been working well until about a couple of weeks ago. I still have the access time to the Smalltalk image file [19:43] anyone can help me trace a startup issue, I would like to know when and where sound volume gets reset on startup ... [19:43] GreenBoss is this a fresh install of ubuntu [19:43] and what version of it [19:43] yes 10.10 [19:43] intrader: the file extension doesn't mean anything in linux dude, if you remove the .sh it will still work. People use it as a denotion of code use (people use .py for python too) but file extensions are really only used by windows [19:43] so the default FF install isnt working [19:44] and has it worked at all [19:44] intrader: you can name a png file to .sh and it doesn't get read as a script, the OS knows its a png [19:44] RottNKorpse: huh? [19:45] ActionParsnip: ty for answering me! Is there a way to move bad sectors in a given area and mark them unusable as a non-existent, I do not care if it reduces the capacity of the HDD [19:45] GreenBoss has it worked at all or is it always been messed up since install [19:45] Hi, how can I tjeck If af device is mounted with bash script? [19:45] RottNKorpse: I should check it out and I wanted to backup all my settings as I have customised all my setting to suits with my needs. [19:45] ActionParsnip, the 'shebang' tells the OS what kind of a script it is. That is a venerable tradition in unices. [19:45] Gh0sty System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and look for PulseAudio [19:45] UbbyUser: not sure. Id just makesure backups are recent and get a new drive [19:46] RottNKorpse: i just installed it 10 minutes ago,,, so i guess,,, yes [19:46] lol [19:46] intrader: exactly, so .sh file means nothing [19:46] which is chinese ubuntu channel ? [19:46] enathu backing up everything to sync it with another install isnt really possible but most apps have preference export like Compiz and Filezilla [19:47] enathu if you wanted to create an image of your install you could and then just install that image on a new machine [19:48] anyone know how to automatically skip drives that are not attached to machine, but are present in fstab? I automatically mount my external but sometimes I disconnect it [19:48] ActionParsnip, however, not long ago the context menu displayed a '-' in the execute checkbox and allowed me to change. Then the shell file would open a dialog that ask me if it was ok to exeute. [19:48] GreenBoss it sounds like there was an error in your Ubuntu install...is everything else working fine? [19:48] test [19:48] yes [19:48] great ...it works =) [19:48] RottNKorpse: but Remastersys Backup does it. It creates a iso image with your all settings. Unfortunately, I don't have the space to save the backup. It always creates the iso image in home folder. [19:48] ActionParsnip, I am doing a `chmod a+x` on it, and we will see [19:49] oh ok you want to create an iso image [19:49] Anyone got experience in installing ubuntu server 10.10 on an IBM eServer x445? === gidimanunaki is now known as gidim [19:49] intrader: make sure the partition is mounted writable [19:49] Dramatic: --> #ubuntu-server [19:49] ActionParsnip, how?

I am checking it now.. [19:51] Hello everyone! [19:51] What is the problem? I get: "Marking TSC unstable due to: check_tsc_sync_source failed." when trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 on an x86 machine. [19:51] Guest94785 please use a better nick next and do you have 32bit or 64bit [19:51] !flash | Guest94785 [19:51] Guest94785: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash === E0 is now known as e0 [19:52] sorry [19:52] i have 32bit [19:52] then as the bot said click that link [19:52] 64bit is the only part it gets complicated [19:53] i enabled fluxbox and i would like to get back to normal. i can choose failsafe gnome from the login menu but choosing GNOME sends me back to fluxbox. I try to disable automatic login in gdmsetup but I cannot unlock the window [19:53] wlecome enathu it should solve it for you and it will enable you to save it wherever you want including an external drive or a flashdrive if you have one big enough [19:54] annecy thats interesting...it sends you back to fluxbox odd [19:54] someone tell me why ubuntu web browsing is so slow [19:54] RottNKorpse: but, the post seems to describe how to make the clone of hard drive. Do you think, which can able me to restore my current installation to install another machine as it is? [19:54] krunal because you internet is slow [19:54] thank you [19:54] krunal: this is unrelated to ubuntu itself, it could be your connection speed or DNS settings [19:54] no RottNKorpse my internet is far from slow [19:55] RottnKorpse: maybe it's because i logged into it as "Blank" user? [19:55] enathu a clone is an exact copy of your current install so yea in theory [19:55] sorry again, i've used IRC long time ago last time and this is a new client for me, I don't see the link, can you forward it pls? [19:55] how come my windows computers surf the web blazing fast [19:55] annecy that is questionable indeed [19:56] you could try loading into gnome safe and then uninstalling fluxbox [19:56] but I've never seen that happen before so cant guarantee it will work [19:56] indeed RottNKorpse but is that clone can not be a image to install the system later on the system? isn't it? Does the clone will act as live cd? #curious [19:57] what is the defacto vpn system for ubuntu? [19:57] Some IBM Server gurus here?

That's not cool. [22:03] goltoof_, ok, hold on....

[22:28] DavidJHeinrich, If using DVI to VGA adapter, try swaping out for another one if it cant detect the resolution. [22:28] RichW: I'm using just a straight DVI-D cable [22:28] RichW: no conversion [22:28] RichW: it seems to have defaulted to 1600x1200, instead of 2560x1600 (so its lower resolution and wrong aspect ratio, so distorted) [22:29] dajhorn, no Im not ... not running anything on that comp [22:29] Hello all.

[22:29] I have booted from a live CD and I can access the LVM2 volumes. [22:29] DavidJHeinrich, That is weird.

[22:32] RichW: how do I get xrandr to do that?

[22:32] DavidJHeinrich, It needs to go into your xorg.conf I think under "Screen" [22:32] DSpair the 64-bit have grub2?

Look for a howto on impove power output on that mod [22:39] I have a tricky problem. My on board sound and graphics are NVidia. I also have soundblaster soundcard installed and a ATI video card. I need some help geting this configured properly. I have had it configured correctly in the past but I had an issue where after 2 days it would revert back to using the nvidia drivers... I was told to upgrade to lucid and that completely kicked the computer so I reinstalled and never messed with it again... [22:39] but I'm ready to fight again... could i get some help? [22:39] tobis87: i have /tmp mounted on tmpfs in fstab and it works fine [22:39] nexeh, Try Maverick? [22:40] anyone have a good suggestion for bandwidth monitoring [22:40] RichW omg we are already to an M! no i havn't.. im nervous to lose everything again [22:40] RichW? really? :( [22:40] ilovefairuz: And I need to do other stuff as well: chgrp lp /var/spool/cups; mkdir /var/spool/cups/tmp; chmod 1770 /var/spool/cups/tmp; chgrp lp /var/spool/cups/tmp ... [22:40] nexeh, You said you had nvidia and ati graphics in one sentence. [22:41] correct... i also said the nvidia is an onboard card [22:41] nexeh: disable the built-in stuff you won;t be using in the BIOS [22:41] tobis87: mount stuff in /etc/fstab and add post-boot commands to /etc/rc.local [22:41] coreGrl, Ok well depends on the driver. [22:41] SlickT10: The bandwidthd package will do it. Fancier system management packages like nagios can also do it. [22:42] does anyone know if there is an alternative for 'vbetool dpms off' via crontab to schedule powering off dual monitors? [22:42] Ok, let me disable them... brb [22:42] tobis87: although the user and group can be set as mount options [22:42] How to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched? [22:42] nexeh, Back it up? [22:42] st__: why would you want to do that ? === Railer is now known as Rail3r [22:43] because package manager consider them broken and tries to remove them [22:43] st__: Which package? [22:43] st__: then they actually are, try reinstalling: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename [22:43] ilovefairuz: Ok, this would be an workaround. Also for folders inside the mounted vol? It already mounts /var/run for example, there has to be a file where I could add it. [22:43] dajhorn, how's that significant? [22:44] st__: Because most people that ask this question have a 32-bit package installed on a 64-bit system. [22:44] no they are both 32-bit, but idiot packagers messed up with dependencies [22:45] tobis87: you want to recreate the folders inside /var/run in memory ? [22:45] ilovefairuz, how can I reinstall a package which is broken? [22:45] st__: i gave you the command [22:46] ilovefairuz, lol, did you read what I wrote? it will never install them again, you want to bork my system?? [22:46] ilovefairuz: No, /var/run is only an example. This also gets mounted by some start script, which I look for. But I want to create the folder in /var/spool/cups. === jacob_ is now known as Guest74674 === James is now known as Guest71992 [22:47] st__: read apt-get manual and then come argue [22:47] hey guys, i installed ubuntu like a software under windows (without a new partition) and i'm wondering if there a way to have access to the windows files from ubuntu? thanks in advance [22:47] Yeah you can access you files from windows in ubuntu its easy all you have to do is mount the windows partion === Guest71992 is now known as JamesRascal [22:48] Guest74674, yes, but your file permissions will be messed up [22:48] hi. when i suspend and then resume, it always asks me for my password even though i have the screensaver password setting turned off [22:48] Guest74674, you need commercial version of ntfs-3g to work with NTFS reliably [22:48] is there a way to disable asking password on resume? [22:48] tobis87: you can execute any necessary commands in /etc/rc.local (to create directories or any other purpose) but i'm not sure if cups would be ok with starting before the directory is created [22:49] st__, from where can i have it? [22:50] ilovefairuz: Yes, this is my problem... I think I will need to search for it 'grep tmpfs -r /' But thank you anyway. [22:50] I'm back, my primary video is set to the PCI. there is no options to disable the onboard sound. added information: the oboard ethernet is also nvidia [22:51] :( Hi, a USB Fat volume has a file with shebang to bash. Its context menu properties does not allow me to change file to be executable. I have the date of the last time it worked in Maverick. What is going on? [22:51] Guest74674, http://www.tuxera.com/ [22:51] tobis87: Ubuntu does these mounts in the /etc/init/mount* files, but you shouldn't change these files. Like ilovefairuz said, /etc/fstab is the right place to create new mounts on an Ubuntu system. Doing things the BSD-way can break the system. [22:51] intrader: FAT filesystems don't have executable bits [22:51] maco, two weeks ago they allowed this [22:52] intrader, you need explicitly mount it with exec option [22:52] if the installation crashes due to a partition layout, should the installer warn about it before starting the job? [22:52] st__, this is done recently? [22:52] intrader: allowed changing individual files' executable status? not possible === atmandk is now known as feverdream [22:53] intrader: either teh whole volume is exec or the whole thing is noexec. [22:53] maco, two weeks ago the context menu showed a [22:53] maco, lies, there's an option to make only exe-com-bat files executable === feverdream is now known as atmandk [22:53] st__: on FAT or NTFS? [22:53] NTFS has exec [22:53] maco, dash '-' in the checkbox, then I could change. No longer so [22:53] Can i get graphic configuration help [22:54] hi. i am getting this error when trying to run legoracers.exe, the nodisk version. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535374/ [22:54] can anyone help? [22:54] brainBTB: are you using wine? [22:54] yes [22:54] sorry [22:54] and its brian not brain [22:54] st__, thank you very much :) [22:55] hi. i am getting this error when trying to run legoracers.exe, the nodisk version, in wine. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535374/ [22:55] * [22:55] brianBTB: are you sure wine has supported it ? [22:55] haha sorry... [22:55] saw some people say it works. [22:55] dajhorn: Oh thank you... Nah I will be carefull, I use Ubuntu since 6.10 and I always have a second installed in case. But what is the syntax? start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var/run TYPE=tmpfs <- It should start on mounted, can I add multiple MOUNTPOINT, TYPE or do I need multiple upstart files? [22:56] RichW: Thank you for your help before [22:57] RichW: adding the line "Virtual 2560 1600" underneath the Display subsection (within the Screen section) fixed the problem [22:57] hi all. is it possible to create an ubuntu user account that only has access (read/write) to their own /home directory? [22:57] maco,st__, once I insert the usb, how to change it to exec mode? Can this be done in some gui tool? [22:57] RichW: the virtual line was defaulting to 2048x2048 [22:57] exit [22:57] intrader, try sudo udisks [22:57] DavidJHeinrich, No problem, I use dual screen at work with Ubuntu. [22:57] tobis87: Use the mounted-varrun file as a template. Try not to change existing files. If you don't understand this file, then you need to read the "upstart" documentation. [22:58] RichW: this is pretty sweet, the resolution on this 30in display [22:58] st__, that is not a gui command :( [22:58] DavidJHeinrich, Just reminder, I used this command to make your modeline: gtf 2560 1600 60 [22:58] dajhorn: Ok I will do. [22:58] intrader, linux has no useful gui [22:58] RichW: Thanks! I forgot about that, I did that stuff back when I was trying to setup a (faulty) 9-megapixel Viewsonic and my Sony GDM F520 CRT, but that was a while ago [22:59] DavidJHeinrich, Wow! I have 1080p 32" for desktop screen. [23:00] schwazy: Look at the jailer and various chroot packages. [23:00] well i folloved that idiot ilovefairuz advice and 3 my packages had f...inggone!!! i habe to re-download that again, why are you allowing that idiotic advices here????! [23:00] RichW: well, the 9-megapixel Viewsonic (something like 3840x2400 resolution), never actually worked with signal :-( [23:00] if I wanted to remove them i won't be asking ffs [23:00] RichW: but this 2560x1600 display was real easy to setup :-)...and its bigger and better-responding than a Viewsonic VP2290 anyways [23:00] DavidJHeinrich, That should fit a few terminal windows :) [23:00] st__, a couple of weeks ago I could stick the usb in, click on the .sh file, and the dialog would pop to allow me to vet the execution. [23:01] intrader, that should be still in [23:01] brianBTB: good morning all [23:01] st__: ilovefairuz gave you sensible advice and he has a solid track record here. [23:01] how do i tell if im running 86 or 64 bit ubuntu [23:02] blackshirt: ?? [23:02] nexeh: uname --machine [23:02] st__, no longer works, it brings up option to open in text editor, instead of poping up the vetting dialog. [23:02] nexeh: x86_64 is 64-bit, and i386 is 32-bit [23:02] dajhorn, thank you [23:03] nexeh: Welcome. There are other ways to get information too, like lshw and lsb_release. [23:03] o.0 [23:04] My follow up question would be: ATI offers and 86 or 64 bit.. no 32? i have 32 of course haha [23:04] I am getting horrible download rates in ubuntu. In windows Im getting 13Mbps, but in Ubuntu im getting 1Mbps. I have no idea why [23:04] I thought 86 was 32 bit, am I wrong? [23:04] It is.

[23:14] littlejoey, http://paste.ubuntu.com/535383/ [23:14] nexeh, initially i think it worked, hopefully it stays heh [23:15] st__maco, and how do I tell mount to make it executable? What is the device. Without gui it is just lame. [23:15] slide, woot, happy i could help! [23:15] :D thanks a lot hehe [23:15] slide, anytime! [23:16] hello all [23:16] littlejoey, as you can see i have all nvidia onboard... ethernet, sound, graphics, everything lol [23:16] nexeh, yeah that's what I thought, but didn't you say something about ATI? [23:16] hello [23:16] or it could have been something else [23:16] hi === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [23:17] I mean someone else [23:17] littlejoey, yeah im really using my ATI card, which is NOT an onboard [23:17] pete and pete [23:17] nexeh, bah spoke too soon :( back down to 1Mbps [23:18] slide, dang i shoulda left victorious! haha [23:18] hehe [23:19] ping time out [23:19] slide, read this while im fixing my own issue.. [23:19] ok nexeh: ic, there is no driver installed for the ATI [23:19] slide, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html [23:19] st__maco, I stick the stick in the USB, the folder pops up open, I go to the File menu, and change the property from '-' to checked. I go to the .sh file, look at properties--->permissions and try to change execute, it does not allow it. [23:19] littlejoey, ok what do you suggest... generic drivers? [23:20] nexeh, hang on I am looking up some suggestions for your card, I have an ATI but an older one [23:20] st__,maco, I stick the stick in the USB, the folder pops up open, I go to the File menu, and change the property from '-' to checked. I go to the .sh file, look at properties--->permissions and try to change execute, it does not allow it. [23:20] littlejoey, the binary ones ar only available for 64bit and up.... dont think they will work ? [23:20] littlejoey, ok [23:21] intrader, because you don;t own the volume [23:22] nexeh, the divine fglrx driver doesn't support x1300 since 2008 [23:22] st__, so how do I become owner of volume? === strike is now known as Guest93126 [23:22] intrader, you specify it at mount time [23:22] st__, im guessing that is depressing news for me? suggestions [23:22] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a seperate partition on my hard drive but now it auto boots into ubuntu instead of asking me, most of the guides I find assume you haven't installed anything yet [23:23] nexeh, throw away that PoS and buy modern videocard === zer1rez is now known as zer0rez [23:23] st__, God this is really lame, it should all be possible via the gui. How do I mount with permissions to execute? [23:23] nexeh, even WoW doesn't work good on it already [23:23] nexeh: I would go with the radeon driver from the repos, try it out first because it is the easier one to install, not to mention that ATI put your card on the legacy list [23:24] st__, normally i would have no issue with that awnser except that im not sinking any money into this comp any more and ubuntu always kicks but on old machines.. WoW screams on this machine. [23:24] st__, remember that as soon as I stick the USB, it become mounted (I don't even know that the device is!) [23:24] littlejoey, Thanks.. i'll give it a shot... i google the instructions after dinner [23:25] how good is the GMA driver for the GMA 945/950 [23:25] intrader, you have to remount it via udisks giving corresponding options [23:25] ATI or Nividia [23:25] paddy_: Intel [23:25] nexeh: ok no problem, it is the first thing to try I think [23:25] <_6502_> is there a way to install a single texlive package without installing all the huge texlive-latex-extra ? [23:26] dajhorn: Allmost done, http://pastebin.com/HefbCPqg I only need to change the mount options. [23:26] _6502_, you don;t have to install it [23:26] _6502_: look up the name of the package in the repos [23:26] _6502_, uncheck treat recommended packages as dependencies [23:26] st__, is it black magic to know the the device, the udisks command and its options. God this is lame. [23:26] JRWR: ? [23:27] intrader: you can also look for GUI's to do that [23:27] paddy_: /me is confused now... === ToAsTcfh is now known as toastcfh [23:28] littlejoey, where please? [23:28] <_6502_> st__: sorry ? i need hyphenat ... and synaptic points me to texlive-latex-extra (only match) [23:28] intrader: you want to what mount something I believe? [23:28] <_6502_> st__: installing 500Mb because i need 30k sounds wrong [23:29] _6502_, use aptitude download and then extract it with dpkg and copy out what you need [23:30] littlejoey, all I want is to have a .sh command that used to work when I stuck the stick into the USB and in the folder diskplay find the .sh file and open it without the dumb open as text poping up [23:30] _6502_: you can probably download the package from a trusted latex source on the internet then install it [23:31] littlejoey, basically, no gui to do what I want anymore. Last time it worked was Nov 10. [23:31] intrader: hmm my linux knowledge is insufficient [23:31] the JDK in the reps is fine to install (i.e. i don't need to download it from oracle) right? [23:32] What is the best filesystem for a removable drive that will only be used on linux based machines [23:32] littlejoey, thanks man, you tried - there is no guy that I know to do what I want anymore. [23:32] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a seperate partition on my hard drive but now it auto boots into ubuntu instead of asking me, most of the guides I find assume you haven't installed anything yet, how can I get it to ask which OS to boot? [23:32] dajhorn: man mounted, did the job :-D [23:32] Hello, Can anybody give me advice about a wireless network connection glitch that I have? [23:33] buckson18: hold shift or esc to get grub [23:33] well intrader: you should talk to a linux system administrator I guess, I am just a regular user [23:33] aeon-ltd: will I have to do that everytime or just the first time? [23:33] littlejoey, I thought this list was for this purpose!. Thanks. [23:34] buckson18: everytime, there is a configurable timer in /boot somewhere in a config file === brandonban6 is now known as awhitehatter [23:34] intrader, what is the problem? [23:34] buckson18: get startup-manager from ubuntu software centre [23:34] aeon-ltd: ok I'll look into that [23:35] Hello, It seems Ubuntu replaces my "e", top number keys, and several other keys with other keys. Any ideas? Also, my arrow keys don't work. [23:35] no--name: I may check that out if i cant configure grub thanks [23:35] where is defined which drive is mounted where? [23:35] buckson18: the file is in /etc/default/grub [23:35] buckson18: it is a gui utility that will do that for oyu [23:35] ccallahan, your keyboard must not be configured correctly [23:35] ccallahan: that seems to be a keyboard configuration thing, look up system preferences keyboard or something [23:35] buckson18: its the GRUB_TIMEOUT setting [23:36] ubuntu4shane, i checked in keyboard settings and it's correct [23:36] littlejoey, ^ [23:36] aeon-ltd: ok I'm pulling it up right now [23:36] ccallahan: maybe the language is not set up properly? [23:36] ccallahan, if the keys aren't typing what they are supposed to then, something must be wrong [23:36] I have Ubuntu here in the office and am trying to setup Thunderbird or Evolution to work with the resident Exchange server but neither program will connect ... why is this? [23:36] they do it off and on [23:37] ccallahan, oooh, now that makes a differences [23:37] Hello, Can anybody give me advice about a wireless network connection glitch that I have? [23:37] ubuntu4shane, until Nov 10th, I could connect a USB stick with FAT volum and navigate in the folder to a .sh file. When I clicked on the .sh file, a dialog would pop to ask me whether to execute the .sh file. and when I said yes, the Smalltalk IDE would start and execute. [23:37] by device /dev/sdb is mounted to /media/blasdsafd23fd23f2f2f2 how can i change that at boot level? [23:38] aeon-ltd: the timeout is set to 10 [23:38] intrader, ok, and now when you double click on a sh file, it doesn't? [23:38] intrader: I have an idea, there is a place where you set up which applications to use for certain files, did you try playing with that? [23:38] ubuntu4shane, now, now it does not, it wants to open the text editor. The .sh file is not executable anymore. [23:39] oh, i forgot, i'm running 10.10 AMD64 + GNOME3 Shell [23:39] intrader, ok, it is the file association [23:39] that is what I think too (regarding intrader's problem) [23:39] intrader, right click on a sh file and select properties [23:39] buckson18: is it hashed out (as in #) [23:40] aeon-ltd: no: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 [23:40] !info finch [23:40] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [23:40] finch (source: pidgin): text-based multi-protocol instant messaging client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3.1 (maverick), package size 216 kB, installed size 672 kB [23:40] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [23:40] GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 [23:40] buckson18: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:41] hello. i have a "home router" ubuntu box (desktop env). i set it up with ext. if DHCP and int. if manual and it worked fine. but then i needed to change ext. if to manual IP too. i tried using "gateway" in /etc/network/interfaces and then net works on that box, but internal IF doesn't work properly (if i ping someone on LAN it wants to go through the ext. if gateway). can anyone help me how to fix this? [23:41] buckson18: can you pastebin it please [23:41] intrader, after that click on the permissions tab, and make sure the box is checked that says Executable [23:41] ext. if = external interface, sorry if i abbreviated weird [23:41] littlejoey, right click on the file gives me a tab with permissions, in it there is an execute checkbox, when I check it, it momentarily checks but the it unchecks. [23:41] intrader, I mean allow executing file as program [23:42] ubuntu4shane, right click on the file gives me a tab with permissions, in it there is an execute checkbox, when I check it, it momentarily checks but the it unchecks. [23:42] intrader: there is a place for file associations in the menu, I can't remember where though hang on [23:42] intrader, that is because you are working on FAT filesystem, and I think* that FAT doesn't allow those kind of permissions. [23:42] i even removed that gateway directive now but it doesn't work anymore.. i also changed some settings through the GUI, but it doesn't seem to affect /etc/network/interfaces... it doesn't change at all. so i'm not sure what to do [23:43] intrader, there is a openwith tab, however I don't see an option that you need, like terminal === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [23:43] intrader, probably it would be easier for you to learn to use the terminal, and execute it that way. [23:43] aeon-ltd: I'm not sure how to use this pastebin [23:44] !pastebin | buckson18 [23:44] buckson18: 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. [23:44] aeon-ltd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535392/ [23:45] is there software to hide ip === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck [23:45] ubuntu4shane, when I navigate to the Smalltalk IDE, it does not associate. === pedro_ is now known as Xborder [23:46] How can I verify if IPv6 is disabled or enabled? [23:46] ok, intrader in the open with tab at the bottom you can click on add [23:46] does anyone know about routing and can help me? home router setup with 2 interfaces, both manual IP [23:47] intrader, at the bottom it says custom command, just click that and put sh [23:47] intrader, after that click ok, and now when you double click on it you it will offer to run it. [23:47] mrbrdo, I highly recommend you use wicd [23:48] I have Ubuntu here in the office and am trying to setup Thunderbird or Evolution to work with the resident Exchange server but neither program will connect ... why is this? [23:48] ubuntu4shane for NAT setup too? [23:48] zetheroo1: I have the same problem, I couldn't fix it... [23:48] mrbrdo, I'm not really sure about NAT, but wicd offers a much simpler process to set IP adresses. [23:49] zetheroo1: correction, it was a microsoft exchange server [23:49] exit [23:49] littlejoey: have you ever been successful at joining Ubuntu to a Windows domain? [23:49] ubuntu4shane I used the tool included with Ubuntu, is that one not good? it didn't seem to modify /etc/network/interfaces though :S [23:49] ubuntu4shane, it say that "Could not find application' Perhaps because execute permission is not given. [23:50] zetheroo1: well some people manage, but you have to keep trying and looking through the ubuntu forums etc, to know how to configure ubuntu correctly for that [23:50] mrbrdo, personally I find that the Gnome Network manager is a little buggy, and for me not simple. [23:50] ubuntu4shane ok thanks I will try to do something [23:50] intrader, oh, that is possible, I don't have a FAT drive/partition to mess with, but I'm about 96% sure that FAT doesn't do permissions [23:50] littlejoey: I guess this is yet another reason why Ubuntu in the business environment makes little practical sense atm [23:51] gnome-desktop-environment is not installed by default on Ubuntu, what are we working on if I may ask ? [23:51] mrbrdo, give it a try, it is worth looking at. [23:51] and what's the difference ? [23:51] ubuntu4shane, st__, maco, I must leave for a bit, thanks for the help. That is correct, until a couple of weeks ago I could do .sh files in FAT volumes. [23:52] intrader, yes, I can't explain why you could do it before, and can't now, that is odd, it isn't terrible hard to use terminal and do the same thing as a work around, catch ya later. [23:54] Armageddon: we are using the gnome desktop by default in Ubuntu, but you are right that it is odd that it looks like the gnome desktop package is not installed hmm beats me
