[00:00] shcherbak, you want me to use mplayer for every flash clip i watch on the net ? [00:00] hello to all im trying to get my b3-db.sql properly installed into mysql so it can be created but its not working i get no output ? [00:00] i would rather just watch it from tmp folder rofl [00:01] Does anyone know how to get a password protected wifi connection working on an ubuntu server? [00:01] radi: uhh, well... skipped few line, i guess [00:01] can someone help me please I need the bcm4312.deb or at least a place where to get it I had tried every other way put I can`t get internet on my netbook [00:01] :) [00:01] shcherbak yes, some users, that run mirc, can't read me correctly [00:01] i have a netbook wired to a router in another room. How can i, from this desktop, find the ip of the netbook so i can ssh into it? === share_ is now known as share === share is now known as share_ [00:02] oh well, at least edje compiled now [00:03] hm === share_ is now known as share === share is now known as share_ [00:03] lyrae: You can do an nmap of the entire network and see what IP's have active SSH ports, then try each one. === share_ is now known as share [00:03] can you guys help me? my disable touchpad key doesnt work. dmesg: Use 'setkeycodes e00d ' but i dont know its keycode and xev doesnt help [00:03] anyway, have fun, im off to bed watching Shrek :D [00:03] my laptop can't seem my samba share on my desktop pc [00:03] heebie, will it find the netbook if it's not but i haven't logged in yet? [00:04] can someone help me please I need the bcm4312.deb or at least a place where to get it I had tried every other way put I can`t get internet on my netbook [00:04] vinooo: Sounds like you don't have the keyboard type set right. [00:04] Hmmmmm chow [00:04] lyrae: If it's connected to the network & running an SSHD, it shoudl. [00:04] heebie, it's strange because the Touchpad on/off notification appears [00:04] heebie, thanks (it should be because I can putty it from windows) [00:05] If you know the IP to get to it via putty on Windows.. you should be able to get to it form Linux as well. [00:05] gabri: rather terminal setting, but not sure === share_ is now known as share [00:06] shcherbak, okk thx [00:06] I'm trying to fix my sound. The thread in ubuntu forums re: doing that suggests to completely remove the alsa drivers then reinstall them. For some that means it takes the Gnome Desktop with it, and it has to be reinstalled. My question is: Will this take things such as my evolution email with it? How much will I have to restore from backups? [00:07] Uggie: Your mail should be fine.. the configuration of your mail, and your mail itself, is likely held in your home directory. [00:07] Uggie: But.. if you back up your home directory, and /varf/spool/mail that should take care of it. [00:08] I've chown and chgrp a bunch of mp3s and a directory I want to move them to to my name and my group, but can't move them to the directory without sudo. Why? [00:08] hey guys. i have updated my system and since than i cant load linux kernel. i get black screen after grub loads. ideas what can i do? [00:08] The_Paco, What are the permissions on the destination folder? === share_ is now known as share [00:09] Paco: You can't move things if they aren't owned by you.. you have to become the super-user. Once you change the ownership to your own account & group, you should be able to move them. [00:09] Ddorda_dok: Did you install nVidia video drivers perchance? [00:09] heebie: Thx. I really didn't want to hear that, but I did need to know. . .:-/ [00:10] Hi. i've just installed 10.10, and for some reason..after updating to the nVidia drivers from nVidia.. the system won't boot anymore.  I haven't found any fixes online other than switching back to the "nv" driver (which uses xorg's nvidia driver that doesn't support 3d or acceleration) instead… and on top of that the system just won't boot.  Has anyone else run across this? [00:10] heebie: not at all. i don't even have an nVidia card [00:10] I need help setting up iptables i want to forward wlan0 ( Laptop wireless card ) to my PC over the eth0 interface , This is my iptables script http://pastebin.ca/2000429 [00:10] i need help with back track distro, where i can find the bt helpers? [00:10] edbian, also owned by me and in my group, also can't move it [00:10] i can't update my 7.04 [00:10] Palestine: remote-exploit i think [00:11] heebie, per ls -l they're under my username and group, should be mine, and I have rwx [00:11] ok athank u i will try jellow [00:11] jellow: Do you have IP forwarding turned on? [00:11] The_Paco, Can you pastebin ls -l on the files and ls -l on the dest folder? [00:11] Paco: then check the perms on the destination folder like someone else said. [00:11] Palestine: it's not the help channel any more look at topic [00:11] current dist not found in meta-release file [00:11] any thoughts? [00:11] heebie: no let me try that [00:12] !EOL | bonhoffer [00:12] bonhoffer: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:12] min [00:12] Jordan_U: i know [00:12] i added the EOL repos [00:12] my question is how to get past the step they recommend -- and get the current dist not found in the meta-release file [00:13] heebie: ye it was enabled just double checked [00:14] jellow: you checked in proc (I don't remember the exact path) [00:14] heebie: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward returns 1 [00:14] had to look it up [00:14] That's that one. [00:14] bonhoffer: Could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of "sudo apt-get update"? [00:14] Jordan_U: sure [00:15] jellow: It looks like you've got a forward in one direction, but not in the other for the return traffic. [00:16] heebie: i thought output was by default to accept so did not need it [00:16] jellow its seems no one alaive in #remote-exploit u don't know how ? [00:17] edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/535710/ [00:17] You're forwarding everything that comes in on one interface to the other, but what gets the replies to those packets, and inbound packets, to go back out the wlan0? [00:17] Palestine: it's says int there topic please go to backtrack-linux [00:17] Jordan_U: http://www.pastie.org/1321590 [00:18] bonhoffer: Could you also pastebin the contents of /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release ? [00:18] The_Paco, The only way that shouldn't be working is if you're not logged in as john [00:18] I think I know what's going on. This is the base directory of a partition owned by root [00:19] http://www.pastie.org/1321592 [00:19] Paco: If it's a mount, you can change the ownership, or the perms. [00:19] heebie: so i just add another line and inverse the in-interace and the -out-interface? [00:19] ^ ^ Jordan_U [00:20] jellow: Probablyi more complicated than that.. if all packets coming in to eth0 go out to wlan0 as well.. then no "native" traffic to that machine will flow. [00:21] Why is the OpenOffice window corrupted if many other windows/programs are opened simultaneously? [00:21] jellow: You might want to look up how to create a bridging firewall.. there are pre-made methods out there that should work.. then you make firewall rules that allow or disallow traffic as necessary to protect the inside from the outside. [00:22] Does Ubuntu 10 work with Virgin Mobile mobile broadband? [00:22] heebie: I've tried a few scripts that were floating around on various forums have had little success [00:22] bonhoffer: That has sources.lst has repositories for "gutsy", but you said you're upgrading from 7.04, "feisty". [00:22] hey, i got a caution sign in my system notification box and when i clicked on it it takes me to update manager which is now downloading linux kernel.. does anybody know what is up with that?? [00:22] I've installed 10.04 on a Dell inspiron 410 but it didn't find my built-in ethernet card.. what is the best way to troubleshoot this? I don't see any interface when i look at 'dmesg' output [00:23] CharlieSu: is this is a broadcom card? [00:23] Jordan_U: i thought i needed to do that to upgrade to gutsy [00:23] per the guide [00:23] charlieSu: Do you have a dual-boot with Windows set up? If you use it in Windows.. then reboot into linux WITHOUT shutting it down.. it might work. [00:24] hey, does anybody know why my update manager is needing to download kernel 2.6.35-23??? [00:25] i've got 10.10 and have been updating often [00:25] swim: why not? [00:25] is that common??? magicianlord [00:25] swim: kernel upgrades are common. it's ok. [00:26] Is there a terminal command that will output the chipset of my motherboard? [00:26] it came about after a red caution sign in my notification area [00:26] lshw [00:26] bonhoffer: That's only for "Some users have reported that they still have to download packages from archives.ubuntu.com while everything resides on old-releases". And I don't understand the reasoning even then. [00:26] swim: yes its normal and common to get kernel updates, its like updateing the core of the OS along w/ drivers [00:26] ok [00:26] こんいちは [00:26] よ [00:26] what did the caution sign say? [00:26] okay, thanks guys [00:26] bonhoffer: Change your sources.lst back and try the upgrade again. [00:26] i always upgrade to hte latest kernel [00:26] Jordan_U: thanks -- i'll look into it [00:26] Hi #Ubuntu. Recently, I was attempting to remotely upgrade an old Ubuntu box up to Maverick. I got as far as Karmic (it was on Intrepid), and during the do-release-upgrade phase, I was kicked off ssh and unable to connect to port 9004, so I had the owner reboot the box. It would fail to boot past "waiting for xx filesystem," so I had to pay them a visit. Not having any other options available and being in a hurry, I booted Knoppix and ran "dpkg --co [00:26] bonhoffer: You're welcome. [00:27] あなた何ゐしていますか。 [00:27] !jp | fujiewen [00:27] fujiewen: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [00:27] 。。。 [00:27] Jef91: you don't need to use multiple channels you get the same answer in both , just twice as much work as everyone else [00:27] hey guys I have a question about running ubuntu in a VM I want to create an account on windows that all it does is fire up a virtualbox running ubuntu preferably with as little windows crud running in the background as possible. anybody know how? [00:28] it said that update information is outdated and that this may be because of a network problem or a repository that is no longer available, among a lot of other things [00:28] ubottu, what are you doing? [00:28] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:28] my brasero chash. I have the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/675158 How can I fix this? [00:28] jrenner: The windows side of that is a question for ##windows. If you only want to use Ubuntu, then why bother with windows and virtualbox at all? [00:28] jrenner: that sounds like a windows question [00:29] Hi. i've just installed 10.10, and for some reason..after updating to the nVidia drivers from nVidia.. the system won't boot anymore.  I haven't found any fixes online other than switching back to the "nv" driver (which uses xorg's nvidia driver that doesn't support 3d or acceleration) instead… and on top of that the system just won't boot.  Has anyone else run across this? [00:29] Does it matter if you put noatime in ext2 boot partition to fstab? also, does nodiratime add speed ni additino to noatime? [00:29] you can have virtualbox start at boot, fullscreened, if you want, but that won't change the way windows logs in [00:29] Jordan_U: actually I just got tired of ubuntu breaking everytime I upgraded (i need to run both windows and ubuntu) [00:29] heebie: did you blacklist nouveau? [00:29] ! disk backup [00:29] blacklist nouveau? [00:29] heebie: ok. easy fix, i think... [00:30] i just installed ubuntu, webcam does not work im new to this please help me [00:30] ! backup [00:30] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:30] magicianlord: i don't know if it is broadcom or not.. how cna i tell? [00:30] Hi. Looking for a ventrilo client. Mangle doesn't seem to want to connect to my friends vent server [00:30] nouveau? blacklisting it? I don't know what you mean. [00:31] Could someone explain to me how to open up a text file using a simple c code? [00:31] あなたは何をしていますか。 [00:31] Okay no responses, so I'm taking my question to ubuntu-users. ;-) [00:31] heebie: when the system is starting up, hold shift until you see 'grub loading' and continue to hold it, until it shows you the two kernel lines to select. the second line will end in 'recovery'. select that one, and then a window will come up after a while, where you should select 'drop to root prompt'. from the root prompt, type 'tell init 3'. no quotes. [00:31] Blanet: ask in #C be warned you will get flamed [00:31] hi guys [00:32] <[thor]> fujiewen: this channel is english support only, please to go #jp-ubuntu for help in japanese. [00:32] how do i get my mic to work [00:32] Blanet: ##C [00:32] my mic wont work [00:32] magicianlord: Then what? [00:32] its driving me nuts [00:32] I just installed ubuntu, webcam does not work im new to this please help me [00:32] heebie: then, you should log into your username, and then type 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf,' when the file opens, at the bottome of it, add the line 'blacklist nouveau'. then hit ctrl+o to save, and then ctrl+x to exit. reboot and try it [00:32] Jellow: Why will i be flamed? [00:32] <[thor]> fujiewen: please excuse my mistake, the correct channel is #ubunt-jp [00:32] <[thor]> :S [00:33] <[thor]> i give up [00:33] Blanet: probably b/c a simple google search will turn up lots of answers [00:33] Blanet: because you have not researched [00:33] Blanet: that's not an #ubuntu question, ask in ##c [00:33] or possibly read the API docs for stdlib [00:33] magicianlord: What is nouveau? [00:34] CharlieSu: broadcom chips are problematic, and chances are that is what your have not working. you have to compile it or google it, and hten search synaptic package manager for a precompile ubuntu pkg. as long as you know your chipset, you should be able to get it to work [00:34] rather, stdio [00:34] I just installed ubuntu, webcam does not work im new to this please help me [00:34] which can open files for reading, and all that jazz [00:34] heebie: it's the opensource nvidia driver that is installed by default. however, it conflicts with nvidia's driver if you instal their drivers by yourself, and blacklisting it allows nvidia drivers to boot normally [00:35] Oh. OK. [00:35] i also have an nvidia chipset and this procedure works properly for me [00:35] !torrent [00:35] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [00:35] heebie: You shouldn't use the drivers from nvidia's website, you should use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. [00:36] i usually blacklist it before installing nvidia, but that shouldnt matter much [00:36] ok, if i don't gets my webcam to work i will switch back to windows [00:36] Jordan: That's what I used.. but they messed things up. I'll try what magicianlord said & see if that works. [00:36] Jordan_U is correct that its better to intsall the drivers from within ubuntu, but doing it without that should work ok also, as long as you do what i described. and you'll have more recent drivers [00:37] heebie: it should work. [00:37] Thanks magicianlord :) I'll give it a go.. and come back screaming if it doesn't work! ;) [00:37] 私はりんごを持っています。 [00:38] haha [00:38] heebie: magicianlord check x-swat PPA for repos that make installing the latest driver easier.. once the PPA is listed as part of your repo's then update/upgrade reboot and done [00:38] i need to reboto [00:39] chaos92: i can't help with your cam problem as I've never used one, but may I suggest that you try doing a google search on your particular cam model and ubuntu [00:40] Al "No Peg if you were in Hell you be on a throne and the devil be packing" [00:40] lol, epic [00:40] i tried that before, but nothing really came up [00:41] chaos92: load a program called cheese (sudo apt-get install cheese) and see if it recognizes your cam.. google ... look in www.ubuntuforums.org for others with the same cam and the solutions they have. [00:41] hello [00:41] chaos92: try maybe the ubuntu forum or at least post here w/ some more information like make of cam, version of ubuntu, computer model and more descriptive info about what is wrong [00:42] hello [00:42] yeah, i loaded cheese, it didn't recognise the model [00:42] hello john ..how can we help ? [00:42] I've setup a pptp vpn connection from the command line so I can "pon vpn1" and "poff vpn2". What's the "proper" way to make this run on boot? [00:42] i need help with grub [00:42] i want to take the memtest off my grub [00:42] Alright. what is your problem exactley .. [00:42] Why ? [00:43] why do you want to take it off ?

You can do this by using Alt+F2 and then typing in the following command: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:45] did you got your file opened yet ? [00:45] run in terminal?

[00:54] john: I'm not sure which version of grub you are using. If you are using grub2, you should check out man page grub-set-default. [00:54] alright john try this in the box that shows up after you click ALT F2 : /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:55] john: you should be able to type man grub-set-default in the terminal to see the man page. [00:55] cbilljones dont think so [00:55] ok [00:55] how do i find out which grub i'm using [00:55] do you see a text file now john ? [00:55] yes [00:56] ubuntunoobz, then im a little confused as to what your doing, could you elaborate on the setup a bit? [00:56] good ...look for the memtest entry you want to remove and take off the whole scope of it. [00:56] doesn't say anything about grub selections [00:57] it should show up like this : menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { [00:57] insmod part_msdos [00:57] insmod ext2 [00:57] set root='(hd0,msdos1)' [00:57] search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8506e20a-a56d-4235-9a36-f1fd81882322 [00:57] linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin [00:57] } [00:57] just went to create a wirless network, made a name no security and hit ok and made it open to all users [00:57] HHabib1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:57] nope [00:57] magicianlord: My chipsets are rs880m+sb820M. How can I figure out what network device this is? [00:57] it have to be there ...search for the word memtest [00:57] ubuntunoobz, so ip adresses are assinged from the ubuntu server? [00:58] Hi All! I am looking to do a headless install. I have already customized a livecd, so thats no problem, but I need to install ubuntu server, not desktop. What is the easiest way to move from installed package set A to B? [00:58] ubuntunoobz, and is it the server itself you cant log into after reboot? [00:58] john : in gedit you can search for words ..look for memtest [00:58] i guess, my dad said that on windows we had a fluctuating ip address [00:58] lol [00:58] CharlieSu: ati chipsets [00:59] ubuntunoobz, do you have a wireless router? [00:59] is there a ppa for metacity [00:59] yeah if u reboot the server, and try to connect to it with my laptop (also ubuntu 10.10) and it just wont connect [00:59] magicianlord: What does that mean for me? is there a special option during the install for that chipset? [00:59] no im using the onboard wireless card to route it on the server [00:59] Is there a way to quickly trim ubuntu-desktop down to ubuntu-server? [01:00] i'm geditting nowhere [01:00] i don't see anything you're seeing [01:00] ubuntunoobz, sounds to me like your using as a dhcp server for your wireless; im not an expert there, let me see if the service maybe needs to be added to startip [01:00] CharlieSu: not during the install. you may need to search for either chipset and ubuntu on google, and a solutino should turn up. it may be just a matter of knowing what package to install from terminal [01:00] either chipset name you listed [01:00] Did you click ALT + F2 and then wrote this command : /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the text Box and clicked run ? [01:00] there is a command to run in terminal for the options to pop up. do you know it [01:01] hello, can somebody help me configure my wireless card on my ubuntu server? had a friend install it on an old HD and networking has not been configured === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [01:01] do not check the run in terminal box ..we do not want it to run in terminal. [01:01] Well, I've tried to ban nouveau..and it didn't make any difference in the behaviour on boot.. it still doesn't work. :/ Any other ideas? [01:01] helloooo. i think i have something here [01:01] one sec [01:01] heebie: what happens exactly [01:01] :/ [01:02] is the built in wireless card a good router? [01:02] Is is possible to list new apps in the "paid apps" section of ubuntu? [01:02] ubuntunoobz, im not sure, it should work fine i think === share_ is now known as share [01:02] magicianlord: On boot, it gets to the "loading ubuntu" type of screen, but it's wrong.. the Ubuntu logo is just text, and the color-changing dots just periods (.).. then it goes to having a flashing underscore cursor in the upper left of the screen and sits there indefinitely. [01:03] ubuntunoobz, you have wired coming in and broadcasting wireless out, right? [01:03] magicianlord: I was able to get into recovery mode no problem, and that's where I am now. [01:03] Anyone gone with the intel i7-740QM quad-core processor? how did ubuntu like it? === matt_791 is now known as overstood [01:03] ok, i see nothing about memtest [01:03] o [01:04] heebie: ok, and then did you properly add blacklist nouveau to the bottom of htat file [01:04] how do i edit in there [01:04] ubuntunoobz: A wireless card isn't a router.. the computer can ACT as a router and should do a decent job.. but you'd likely want to have multiple NIC's in it. [01:04] well something is wrong with your grub mate ...cuz I am on 10.10 ubuntu and it's showing up here at my end [01:04] was the file populated with other entries when you opened it? [01:04] doesn't memtest need to be added to grub2 now? [01:04] nope [01:04] to edit the entries you just take off the whole scope of the parameter that you do not want. [01:04] erm i have a sprint air card that i get internet from via usb then i route it via onboard wireless card [01:04] my gparted is crashing... [01:04] magicianlord: cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | grep nouveau [01:04] blacklist nouveau [01:04] but delete doesn't work. neither backspace [01:04] how do I troubleshoot it? [01:04] ubuntunoobz, can you check your startup apps and see if dhcp-server is listed there, system>preferences>startup applications [01:04] you have to be sudo ... [01:04] root [01:05] HHabib1: you talking to me? [01:05] HHabib1: I was root when I made that change. [01:05] hang on [01:05] and how do i do that [01:05] no I am talking to John gues :) [01:05] Oh.. HHabib1 WASN'T talking to me.. so please ignore what I siad :) [01:05] said even. :/ [01:05] lol [01:05] alright [01:06] no its not there cbilljones [01:06] john you are supposed to be asked for a password the moment you try to open /boot/grub/grub.cfg [01:06] never did [01:06] magicianlord: I double-checked the name of the module itself, and that is the correct spelling. :/ [01:06] your on ubuntu 10 right ? [01:06] how can in find directories by size (for example find all subdirs of a certain dir that contain more than 100MB) [01:07] yep [01:07] tim167: find . -type d -size +100MB [01:07] john: it is readable by all, but writeable by no one [01:07] i guess [01:07] ubuntunoobz, do you have a file: /etc/default/dhcp3-server? [01:07] Every time I want to use skype after restarting my computer, to get my microphone to work, I have to go to System > Preferences > Sound > Hardware , select my Internal Audio (the other choice being my web cam), select input, and change a value. Is there some way to make this change permanent? [01:07] far top it says read only === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [01:08] linguinii: Are you saving your ALSA settings at any point? [01:08] heebie: thanks i'll try that :) [01:08] john please check out this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [01:08] heebie, Not that I know of. skype says "pulseaudio"... [01:08] nope i do not [01:08] how can i install a package (network manager) without networking, transferred from a mounted device? [01:08] conundrum: .deb + dpkg [01:08] hello, i am unable to install ubuntu 10.10 [01:08] conundrum: Add the media on the device to your repository and it shoudl find it there. [01:09] ubuntunoobz, hmm ive never actually done this, i think we need someone who knows more about this [01:09] the installation is not progessing [01:09] kk i g2g anyways [01:09] heebie, In skype, my microphone is "PulseAudio server (local)" [01:09] pierreth: at what point is it not progressing? [01:09] Hello. Can someone please help me? [01:09] Hi everyone, don't know if this is enough to help: the wireless icon has disappeared from my panel and I can no longer connect... what can I do? [01:09] aeon-ltd: You still here? [01:09] !ask | jasono [01:09] jasono: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:09] it works now im connected to it now [01:09] linguinii: If you are setting mixer settings etc.. you should save your ALSA settings at some point.. although I'm not sure how. ALSA settings wouldn't be in skype..the would be in the mixer, or on the command-line. [01:09] ubuntunoobz, alright, sorry i couldnt help, try again later [01:09] pierreth are you installing from a cd or upgrading ? [01:09] ectospasm, at the point for formatting the drive [01:10] HHabib1, from a cd [01:10] This is the problem. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535728/ It's also keeping me from installing software in the software center. [01:10] burn another and try again ... [01:10] heebie, Are ALSA and pulse audio mutually exclusive? Or am I getting mixed up with something else (OSS or something?). [01:10] spivwaq: Make sure that you've got the correct module for your wifi set to load somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d for starters? (I'm not sure how to tell which would be the right one.) [01:10] but the computer is not crash [01:10] heebie: wher are we nwo [01:10] now [01:10] I know ..but the cd might be scratched ...happens all the time. [01:10] linguinii: ALSA are the mixer settings.. Pulseaudio is just an output driver. Two separate pieces that work towards the send end result. [01:10] heebie: hmmm find -type d -size +20M doesnt return anything, though i'm sure there are directories larger than 20 MB [01:11] it is like that for 3 hours are so [01:11] linguinii, pulse uses alsa, oss and alsa are mutually exclusive [01:11] check it again with a new cd and if it did not work we will find something out ... [01:11] should I wait more? [01:11] take the cd out restart and then put a new cd [01:11] no do not wait [01:11] Help [01:11] magicianlord I don't know what else to try right now.. machine gets to a flashing underscore cursor and sits there. [01:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/535728/ [01:11] restart or turn off the computer and burn a new cd then try again [01:11] cbilljones, Ah, thanks. I was mixed up. Hmm. So I need to set some alsa mixer settings... [01:11] with the new cd [01:11] ok, thank you [01:11] tim167, where are you looking ? [01:11] your welcome. [01:12] Are the folders you mean beneath your actual position ? [01:12] sbeck: ~ [01:12] linguinii, what is the issue? i missed your first post i think [01:12] aeon-ltd: If you are, I tried the desktop thing, didn't work. I tried again on another netbook, so I figured it must be something to do with the flash drive. I tried flash drive and I still have the same issue with both operating systems and on both netbooks. [01:12] heebie, Oh, I think I misread; I am not setting mixer settings. [01:12] tim167: Check the man page for find.. it should tell you if -size is relevant to directories.. it might only apply to files. [01:12] heebie: yes, looks like it [01:12] Can someone please help me? [01:12] heebie: did you enter the blacklist.conf file properly? was there existing text in there [01:12] linguinii: You described changing mixer settings for your microphone etc.. I assumed you meant in ALSAmixer. [01:12] heebie help? [01:13] os there another way to find directories by their size ? [01:13] i mean the total size of their contents [01:13] magicianlord: Yes, what I output here was a grep for the file for just that line.. and I double-checked the spelling of the module and it's correct. [01:13] heebie, I'm changing The "connector" value in the Input tab of "Sound Preferences" [I think] === administrator is now known as Guest57309 [01:13] Actually, I'm trying to remember which value it is that is changed; I don't typically do it. My mom does, and I'm trying to find a way so she doesn't have to every time she uses skype. [01:13] linguinii: I don't know why skype wouldn't save your prefs. Perhaps you don't have write access to the configuration file? [01:14] heebie, it did work for the past three months til about last saturday [01:14] my wireless connection i mean [01:14] tim167: That would be a very time consuming task, as the only way to tell the size of a directory is by recursively checking the size of its contentents. [01:14] spivwaq: What worked? [01:14] o remember in windows you could just sort the folders in the filemanager by directory size, but here in ubuntu, for folders it says only how many files it contains (and only one level down) [01:14] heebie, it is not skype settings; it is System > Preferences > Sound [01:14] tim167: du -h [01:15] Can someone Please help me? I cannot install any software in the ubuntu software center without it telling me it's an "untrusted package" [01:15] heebie: did you enter the right file [01:15] linguinii: OK.. so those would be alsa settings.. but it's very strange that it doesn't remember them if you're using a system control panel. [01:15] magicianlord: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [01:15] ectospasm: interesting! [01:15] heebie: was there other entries in that file when you openede it? [01:15] magicianlord: I've searched w/ APT but am unable to find any ATI packages that have to do w/ anything other than video support.. [01:16] magicianlord: Yes, a lot of them. I put mine at the bottom. (The output that I sent to the channel earlier was grep of the file to only show the specific line that I added.) [01:16] heebie, And actually she might be changing the device from "0802 Analog Mono" to "Internal Audio Analog Stereo". I'll ask for sure. [01:16] Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having? I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto my netbook (tried both netbook and desktop editions) and I'm hitting a snag. When I get to the screen that says "For the best results, please ensure that this computer yadayadayada" and click forward, the netbook acts like it's loading, but from what I can tell it's not doing anything. The cursor can still be... [01:16] ...moved and it's showing the loading icon, so I'm assuming it didn't crash. I've checked the hashes of both ISOs (100%), tried a few flash drives, and even tested on another netbook, but this issue exists throughout all of those conditions. All I want is to install Ubuntu on my netbook, can anyone help me? [01:16] this is what i was looking for: grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg [01:16] heebie: didnt see your output. sorry. ok, it looks like hte right file. [01:16] heebie: you could also try blacklisting nvidiafb. are you on 10.04 or 1010 [01:16] thanks habib for pointing me in the right direction [01:16] magicianlord: I'm on 10.10 [01:16] protik, are you connected to the net during install? [01:17] I've tried being connected and not being connected, same thing both times [01:17] i have 8.04 and i am trying to upgrade to latest version -- should i go to 8.10 before going higher? [01:17] heebie: ok. the process i described had worked for me on an nvidia 6100 chipset motherboard [01:17] your welcome john [01:17] my wireless connection suddenly stopped working 2 months ago after working for 4 months. what should i look for to troubleshoot this/ [01:17] tim167, I sent you something in a qry. [01:17] magicianlord: I don't have an nVidia chipset.. just an nVidia video card. [01:17] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen have it "adjusts" suggestions? [01:17] protik, what version? 10.10? === taka is now known as Guest2148 [01:17] heebie: yes, mine is integrated [01:18] cbilljones: Yeah, 10.10 for both editions [01:18] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen after it "adjusts" suggestions? [01:18] protik, what model of netbook? ill see if its a known issue [01:18] heebie, Oops, I was wrong. She changes the device from "Internal Audio Analog Device" to "0802 Analog Mono" [01:18] magicianlord: I just switched to ubuntu from Gentoo to try it out.. and the same nVidia driver version/revision was working in Gentoo. [01:19] cbilljones: I have the problem on an 'Acer Aspire One ZG8' and an 'Eee PC 1000HD' [01:19] linguinii: analog mono? icky poo! It might change that back because it's a mono driver. [01:19] heebie: yeah. that process tends to work. [01:19] heebie, so is that the "alsa device setting" I am changing? [01:19] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen after it "adjusts" suggestions? [01:19] i run arch and ubuntu [01:20] tim167, are you still there ? [01:20] linguinii: It might not be. [01:20] i am not sure if i should try to go from 8.04 to 9.10 [01:20] the guide has 8.10 to 9.10 in there [01:20] bonhoffer: Yes, you should. ;) [01:20] protik, you have suffient ram i assume? [01:20] heebie: but i get WARNING: Failed to read mirror file [01:21] heebie, um? what? [01:21] !twitter [01:21] heebie: you think i should go from 8.04 direct to 9.10? [01:21] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen after it "adjusts" suggestions? === syn-ack is now known as Guest16888 [01:21] not stop by 8.04 [01:21] bonhoffer: Maybe 9.10 isn't support.. but you could go to 9.04 which is a long-term relase. [01:21] release :/ [01:21] so 8.04 to 9.04 [01:21] 9.04 isnt LTS [01:21] is there a twitter application that uses indicator-applet mailicon? [01:21] bonhoffer: Is there a particular reason for the upgrade? [01:21] 8.04>10.04 for LTS [01:21] heebie: yes -- i want to get out of EOL [01:22] bonhoffer: So why are you only going to 9.x? [01:22] bonhoffer, i would upgrade to 10.04 [01:22] 10.04LTS is out there. [01:22] cbilljones: Both have 1GB ram [01:22] bonhoffer, upgrades (as fickle as they are) are only going to work for you in sequence, you can not skip versions in the upgrade process (and honestly if you'd had the foresight to put /home on a separate partition when you first isntalled ubuntu then you'd be able to do a clean install of a new version without all the intermediate steps while retaining your home data) [01:22] heebie: agreed -- but i shouldn't jump/skip [01:22] protik, ok were good there [01:22] rooks: gwibber, it should be installed by default, and listed as Broadcast in the indicator message area [01:22] It's easy enough to TAR up your home directory. ;) === Guest16888 is now known as syn-ack [01:22] airtonix: agreed -- so the question is what constitutes a version [01:22] heebie, :( [01:22] john__, might I suggest you look at http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/boot/grub/grub.cfg Your change will get over written on the next kernel upgrade [01:23] bonhoffer, a change in the number ? [01:23] 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 . . . [01:23] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen after it "adjusts" suggestions? [01:23] trism, how to make gwibber refresh feeds when closed? [01:23] airtonix: so you can't skip a single number [01:23] 8.04 to 9.04 for exampe? [01:23] example? [01:23] bonhoffer, no [01:23] bonhoffer, no, but the exception to that rule is that you can go from LTS version to LTS version [01:23] bonhoffer: You should be able go from 8.x-9.x, then 9.x to 10.x [01:23] o.k. [01:23] bonhoffer: or you could just upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 [01:23] xangua, no you can not. [01:24] xangua: i think airtonix would disagree with you [01:24] protik, i dont see any fix at this point, i would maybe try alternate installe [01:24] airtonix: yes........ [01:24] bonhoffer: as a rule of thumb, I think most people recomend not using the upgrade and do a fresh install of the newer version [01:24] ^ [01:24] If youi want, you can go from 8.04 to linux-from-scratch, or any other distro you like, as long as you've got backups of your data and configs. [01:24] where can i learn how to hack on unity using vala? [01:24] Verminator: agreed -- but this is a server and i don't want to move a bunch of config files [01:24] (or any other language for that matter) [01:25] * heebie is a network & systems engineer and does this kind of thing on servers and VM's all the time. [01:25] rooks: you can set the refresh rate in the preferences, and it will continue to run if you select Gwibber/Close Window when you close it, instead of Gwibber/Quit (there will be an arrow next to it in the indicator if it is still running) [01:25] things like my.cnf [01:25] wasn't 7.04 the previous LTS? [01:25] cbilljones: Do you know of any other linux distros that are as user friendly as Ubuntu? I've been using Windows my whole life and the idea of having to compile my own kernel kind of scares me. [01:25] bonhoffer, personally i'd only do an upgrade if a) i had a gun to my head, or b) it was the only way i could keep my life support machine running [01:25] all the apache files [01:25] :P [01:25] bonhoffer: sorry, missed that part [01:25] yeah so my gparted is crashing... [01:25] anyway I can figure out why? [01:25] bonhoffer, like i said before. put things you want to retain on separate partitions next time you do a clean install. [01:25] I think the .04's are pretty much always LTS. I know 10.04 is, and I know 6.04 and 8.04 have bene. [01:25] bonhoffer: Do *not* upgrade to 8.10. You can, and should, go directory from one LTS release (8.04) to another (10.04). [01:25] rprotik, i would stick with ubuntu, but you can get the alternate installer wich usually you use if short on ram, but it may work better for you [01:26] ProtiK, ? Why do you think you have to compile the kernel? [01:26] ProtiK, (mint btw is very user friendly) [01:26] !LTS [01:26] Jordan_U: i don't see how i can do that [01:26] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [01:26] heebie: 9.04 isn't. [01:26] it's only the spring release every other year that's LTS [01:26] Jordan_U: really? Weird! [01:26] heebie, Maybe I'll try getting a different microphone device to work (I think it defaults to the one in the MB rather than the one in the web cam) [01:26] !upgrade | bonhoffer [01:26] bonhoffer: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:26] 1412 nicks! wow! [01:26] gbear14275: try running ti from terminal and see what error msg it spits out [01:26] Jordan_U: i have 8.04 now [01:26] protik, i would stick with ubuntu, but you can get the alternate installer wich usually you use if short on ram, but it may work better for you [01:26] edbian: My friend said something about having to compile a kernel for some linux distros, I think he said it was gentwo [01:26] heebie: it's a 3 year cycle for desktops, so with 10.04 being the current LTS, that makes 7.04 the previous LTS [01:26] trism, hey, sweet, thanks! [01:26] ====================== [01:26] libparted : 2.3 [01:26] ====================== [01:26] glibmm-ERROR **: [01:26] unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: [01:26] gbear14275: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:26] ProtiK: in Gentoo, you compile everything yourself [01:27] Gnea: *8.04 and 6.10 [01:27] ProtiK, oh yeah. It's spelled gentoo. It's one of the few linux distros that have compile the kernel. Most do not. [01:27] ProtiK: or rather, it is compiled on your machine, you don't have to do anything [01:27] gnea and heebie, no 8.04, then 10.04; 7.04 is not LTS [01:27] Gnea, heebie: that is wrong, 8.04 was the previous LTS [01:27] ProtiK: Gentoo, (maybe gentwo is a variant of it) you pretty much compile everything. You get a slightly faster system, but it does take a lot more administration time to keep it up. [01:27] Jordan_U: i am running do-release-upgrade, we will see where this goes [01:27] edbian, tensorpudding: Oh alright, thanks :P [01:27] ProtiK, No problem [01:27] Verminator: http://pastebin.com/kjKaRGJq [01:27] !8.04 [01:27] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [01:28] the advantage to compiling things yourself is that you can configure the way they're built to an extent [01:28] and so it was :) [01:28] !lts > Gnea [01:28] Gnea, please see my private message [01:28] !7.04 [01:28] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [01:28] the disadvantage is that you have to recompile them every time you want to upgrade anything [01:28] okay, I got it [01:28] bonhoffer, you might like to get in the habit of keeping /var on a separate partition and then do something about automating the install of your apache, dns, dhcp service configurations with preseeding. [01:28] cbilljones: Where can I find this alternate installer? [01:28] Hi everyone I am having an issue with ubuntu that keeps ejecting my cd tray has anyone heard of this? [01:28] protik, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [01:29] IVerbNouns: Sounds like a strange driver issue. I can't say I've ever heard of it. [01:29] cbilljones: Thanks babes :D [01:29] I have 10.04.1 and wanted grub legacy rather than grub2, so I removed grub2 and installed grub legacy ... what is the proper way to get a menu.lst to edit, or to edit a grub.cfg? [01:29] Jordan_U: not sure why I thought that a LTS release would occur every 2 years instead of every 3... [01:29] gbear14275: I dont know what those errors mean, someone here might know, I was just making the suggestion so you could get more info to troubleshoot the problem with [01:29] protik, no problem, good luck :) [01:29] * heebie is off to see if magician's other idea works. [01:29] upstart is the biggest piece of crap of all time [01:29] mingdao: Why don't you want grub2? [01:29] Jordan_U: well, 3 instead of 2... blah [01:30] does anyone know where the drivers for my cd drive are located? [01:30] IVerbNouns, kernel modules* [01:30] Jordan_U: have used Linux for 7 years but never grub ... have grub legacy booting it 4 OSes, and when I installed 10.04.1 grub2 messed it all up [01:30] mingdao, is that the only reason? [01:30] airtonix: probably so ;) [01:30] mingdao: "messed it all up" how? [01:31] Hey, I'm trying to figure out how after I 'cleaned' my /var/cache/apt/archives, how do I get it to re-download so I can use aptoncd? [01:31] airtonix: since I know next to nothing about grup anyway [01:31] what is the channel for daily build again? [01:31] mingdao, you really ought to bite the bullet and learn how to use grub2, its alot better thant grub1 [01:31] Jordan_U: it found only one of four OSes and could only boot that and Ubuntu [01:31] airtonix: anything more specific? I need to begin troubleshooting an issue that causes my cd drive to eject randomly. [01:31] airtonix: define "a lot better" [01:31] !11.04 [01:31] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is pre-alpha and is not intended for production systems. [01:31] airtonix: it's just a bootloader ... just boot the OS and all's good [01:32] mingdao, If you feel so strongly why did you install grub2 in the first place? [01:32] airtonix: agreed, i like your separate partition idea [01:32] mingdao, i leave that as an research exercise for you. [01:32] is there a blog on that? [01:32] or howto? [01:32] edbian: It's the default in Ubuntu since 9.10. [01:32] I was having network troubles w/ 10.04 but installed 10.10 and see that my ATI chipset automatically works.. It is using the 'atl1c' module . Is this available for 10.04 ? [01:32] edbian: I didn't ... that was installed by default by Ubuntu [01:32] bonhoffer, not that i;ve seen, and i haven't bothered to document the way i do it [01:32] Thunderguy: use apt-get -d the -d will download-only and not try to install.. but you will need to provide package names [01:32] im having trouble with 10.10 and vlc were vlc skips or exits fullscreen if you will and renters fullscreen after it "adjusts" suggestions? [01:32] Grub legacy is the best if you ask me . but dude let's be frank ..advancement have to take place. [01:32] Does anyone know how to answer my question or just argue their choices? [01:32] found this...https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/617885 But still not much able to read bug reports [01:32] airtonix: sounds simple enough -- but i have to change the default paths [01:32] I have been failing at opening a port using the ufw. Any ideas? [01:33] bastidrazor: Oh ok, is there any way with bash that I can use 1 command to get the package names and send them over to apt? [01:33] bonhoffer, not really. [01:33] mingdao you want the old grub back is that what you want mate? [01:33] mingdao, What is your question? [01:33] Thunderguy: package names for? [01:33] HHabib1, edbian: What is the proper way to get a menu.lst to edit, or to edit a grub.cfg with grub-0.97? [01:33] bonhoffer, you use fstab to say that the directory /var is now located on X drive/partition [01:33] bastidrazor: for everything installed, say if I used dpkg --get-selections, but how would I auto-send it to apt? [01:34] mingdao, install the grub-legacy package. Then I think grub-update creates a menu.lst automatically. [01:34] HHabib1: my first post: I have 10.04.1 and wanted grub legacy rather than grub2, so I removed grub2 and installed grub legacy [01:34] airtonix: got it === taka is now known as Guest71807 [01:34] cool -- i like that idea [01:34] I think Grub2 is a pain in the ass, but it is worth spending a couple of days to understand [01:35] can someone help my figure out why my video flickers every now and then (vlc and ati) [01:35] okay mate we got few steps to do if you wanna downgrade grub2 ...are you gonna do that with me ? [01:35] bonhoffer, heres something i found quickly http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1467468&page=1 [01:35] Thunderguy: that i don't know. [01:35] HHabib1: with you mate! [01:35] k [01:36] bonhoffer, http://askubuntu.com/questions/247/whats-your-recommendation-on-drive-partitioning-schemes-for-a-desktop-and-home-s [01:36] HHabib1: NB: my system is booting now via grub-0.97 installed from another OS [01:36] we gonna first do a backup copy just in case something happens ... [01:36] do the following ...in the terminal write this : sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.old [01:36] done [01:37] now this : sudo cp -R /etc/grub.d /etc/grub.d.old [01:37] No luck on my video problem. :( [01:37] done ... you can omit the sudo if you want, I'm root [01:37] bonhoffer, although interesting point made at this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/247/whats-your-recommendation-on-drive-partitioning-schemes-for-a-desktop-and-home-s/3603#3603 [01:37] okay now last one in packing up steps is : sudo cp -R /boot/grub /boot/grub.old [01:37] it's alright you can remove it mate. [01:38] done ... remove what? [01:38] the sudo [01:38] habib. got time for one more problem [01:38] now let's remove grub2 do this : sudo apt-get purge grub2 grub-pc [01:38] HHabib1: not to be rude, but the above steps aren't really needed, as I have only installed grub legacy and am using grub on anotehr OS [01:38] ifme let me finish with that dude first ..one thing at a time. [01:38] ok [01:39] Package grub2 is not installed, so not removed [01:39] If you don't take a time-out to understand Grub2, you'll be back here in a few wks [01:39] mingdao just follow I promise I will work out your problem ..I do not wanna screw up your system without doing a backup plan [01:39] HHabib1: already removed grub2 and installed legacy before coming here [01:39] can someone help my figure out why my video flickers every now and then (vlc and ati) [01:39] HHabib1: no problem [01:39] Sickler: How often is every once in a while? [01:40] cheekee: no, I won't ... this install is for testing to install to customer's computers, and they will only have one OS and use the default [01:40] Hi everyone I am having an issue with my cd tray randomly ejecting itself. Im trying find where on my system I can locate my cd drives drivers so I can begin troubleshooting. [01:40] i'm in gparted, and i want to know which sda not to remove. i don't want to dualboot. xubuntu has everything ubuntu 10 has. [01:40] okay your saying that you installed your grub 0.97 already right ? [01:40] HHabib1: yes [01:40] heebie, at first it was every minute, did some changes and now its every 5 [01:40] heebie, but it still happens [01:40] HHabib1: before coming here ... and another OS with legacy is booting all 4 OSes now [01:40] okay type this in the terminal : sudo update-grub [01:40] Sickler: and it's not just some videos etc.? [01:40] every iso i play [01:41] HHabib1: but I want to edit grub and have my shiny, new Ubuntu system do it ;) [01:41] every iso? [01:41] heebie, every iso i play, yes [01:41] I know ..we gonna update it ..look up the list and everything will be fine ..did you update your installed grub yet ? [01:41] an iso isn't a video file you can "play".. what are they iso's of? [01:41] HHabib1: Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done [01:41] HHabib1: thanks, that's what I needed [01:41] HHabib1: appreciate your time [01:42] heebie, yes vlc can play iso;s of dvds [01:42] Greetings! I have a little question :( [01:42] no no wait there's still few steps brother [01:42] mingdao: then do a complete job for your customers...Grub2 is the new Grub...if they can't work with it then... [01:42] Sickler: That's not "playing" an ISO.. it mounts the ISO, then plays the DVD content that's on the ISO. [01:42] Hi all, starting Saturday I can't connect w/ wifi or cat5, could connect w/ wifi for the past 3 months..any ideas? [01:42] cheekee: that is what they'll get ... but I've been working with another Linux project for almost a decade and don't have time for reading about new grub atm [01:42] heebie, well it still flickers, [01:42] my gparted [01:43] gdisk rules, parted drools [01:43] cheekee: I will later ... right now I am finishing getting a business license for a company in this country, and preparing a quick and unexpected trip overseas [01:43] Sickler: You're probably just seeing glitches in decoding that happen when a lot of different things are going on. (If swapping of large pages of RAM to/from the swap partition are occurring, or disk writes, or if your video card is running low on RAM, or if your computer is etc...) [01:43] mingdao ...I am not finished ..you still have to deal a lil with your dev/sdX mate [01:43] cheekee: so much going on I didn't want to keep reading "info grub" ... gave me the headache [01:43] HHabib1: ? [01:43] upstart sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls [01:43] * heebie is off for another reboot. [01:43] HHabib1: I'm all ears mate! [01:44] anybody can help me with vlc+pidgin+musictracker ? [01:44] mingdao: It takes 2 days to figure out...1 wk max...better than leaving a problem that will take a genius to sort out in a yrs time [01:44] sudo grub-install /dev/sdX in your terminal ..choose the correct device ...usually the one that has ubuntu installed on it. [01:44] heebie, i am only useing 630mb of 2gb of ram and my hdd isnt even working [01:44] cheekee: read, please ... I have more to do that read atm ... can do it on the 23 hour plane trip [01:44] cheeke : give the guy a break he seems to be busy with other projects man [01:45] bonhoffer, is your webserver an intranet only thing ? [01:45] no -- it's open [01:45] bonhoffer, does it intergrate with ldap and kerberos ? [01:45] aright mingdao did you do the last command ? [01:45] !byobu [01:45] HHabib1: a question, if you will ... Ubuntu and the other 3 OSes are on /dev/sdc ... /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are LVM in RAID, with OSes there, also ... can grub boot those in RAID? [01:45] airtonix: kerberos, but why ldap [01:46] I do not know mingdao ... [01:46] claudiomet: the only wai i found for pidgin to show what i was seeing on vlc was to vlc sentd the info of the music/video to last.fm and then from last.fm to pidgin; don't remember how [01:46] This is supposed to be fixed in Lucid I believe. How do I use it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/557130 [01:46] bonhoffer, well ldap is a better place to store users and group memberships in my humble opinion [01:46] HHabib1: can I not use grub shell rather than grub-install? [01:46] yes [01:46] claudiomet: you can read more info at the musictacker site http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ [01:46] xangua: I hace the solution but I need to clarify one little thing [01:47] mingdao: ok, but I wish you luck, with your future projects, if you take a shortcut on this [01:47] HHabib1: you're hurting a brother who uses urxvt 95% of the day [01:47] airtonix: so i am not using kerberos and ldap very effectively [01:47] haha === jackson is now known as Guest15782 [01:47] cheekee: man, puleeze get a grib ... ;) [01:47] hey guys i've some problem about setup [01:47] bonhoffer, although im not that experienced with kerberos yet (i had the impression that they work together to provide centralied single sign on service) [01:47] xangua: to connect vlc+pidgin using musictracker, vlc must be launched as "vlc --control dbus" [01:47] HHabib1: I'm not a n00b to *nix ... have worked with Slackware project for 7 years [01:47] @bonhoffer That is totally nerdy [01:47] cheekee your not the one who wrote grub2 are ya ? :D [01:48] just the promoter :-) [01:48] mingdao I know brother ...keep the good work :D [01:48] how can i fix grub error 17 [01:48] still need help [01:48] !ask [01:48] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:48] claudiomet: ok, didn't know that. bad thing i no longer use musictracker [01:48] AsHeS35: Have you googled what a grub error 17 is yet? [01:48] i want to take some stuff off of gpartd [01:48] yes [01:48] xangua: how can I make this change permanent (launch always "vlc" as "vlc --control dbus") [01:48] ? [01:48] heebie:yes [01:48] AsHeS35: So..what is the error? :) [01:48] How do I look up a domains IP form the CL? [01:48] i only want one system now. not dual boot [01:48] alright where did that other guy that wants help go ? [01:48] xangua: creating an alias doesn't work [01:49] heebie:its about hdd but i couldn't understand [01:49] seems to be gone mad on me ..alright :/ [01:49] AsHeS35: that's not descriptive enough for me to understand either. What did it specifically say? [01:49] I actually spent 1 month to understand the Grub2 docs, not 1 wk or 2, but having understood it...Legacy Grub is trash [01:49] HHabib1: I did run "grub-install /dev/sdc" to follow through with you, it's just not done it's thing yet [01:50] alright now echo "grub hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections just to keep it not to upgrade to grub2 automatically .. [01:50] ubuntu: you can wipe your HD during install from the CD [01:50] heebie: i tried to setup ubuntu two times and when i opened the computer,i saw that [01:50] you know at night they do "bad" upgrades mate :D [01:50] cheekee: I got to finish doing paperwork with the Chinese gov't to open a business; then make a trip to America ... in the next 2 weeks. When I return, or while lounging in the States, I'll get with the program ... okay? [01:50] AsHeS35: A quick google makes it seem like you ahve to turn on LBA mode in the BIOS on your computer. [01:50] lol [01:51] guest15782, i believe ddig does that [01:51] can someone help my figure out why my video flickers every now and then (vlc and ati) [01:51] dig [01:51] HHabib1: still at "Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub" [01:51] heebie:there isn't a choice which i can do [01:51] alright as soon as your done put that command it will keep it not to "grow" to be grub2 again [01:51] heebie:i don't have a choice like that [01:51] AsHeS35: What kind of BIOS is it? [01:51] heebie:asus [01:51] mingdao: no probs, you seem quite clever...It will probably take you only a few days to understand Grub2 [01:51] Sickler: you might need to post some more relevant information ... don't post to me personally, I don't know Ubuntu yet :-) [01:52] cheekee: more like a month most likely ;) [01:52] lol [01:52] [05:20] Slackware has been losing users to other 64-bit arches, as well as these point-and-click distros such as Ubuntu. [01:52] heebie:asus p5 [01:52] heh [01:52] AsHeS35: I've not seen an Asus where you couldn't set that... but I haven't bought a new Asus motherboard in like 7-8 years now. [01:53] HHabib1: should it take this long? I entered the command about 7 minutes ago and it's finally getting it done :-) [01:53] * mingdao is a n00b for sure [01:54] yeap that's alright [01:54] HHabib1: finally, it's installing grub [01:54] <`d-_-b`> hi all. i`m looking out for preconfig for hybrid ... anyone? [01:54] heebie:i search it for a while,i dk where it is ? [01:54] after that command do a reboot and you should be "good to go" ...wish you a good trip back home. [01:54] HHabib1: I'd wager the LVM / RAID made it loop a bit ... and the extra 550G drive hanging off sdd I forgot about ;) [01:54] heebie:i looked boot options and hdd options there is no choice like that [01:54] lol [01:55] how do I look up a domain's IP from the CL? [01:55] heebie:may be i try 32 bit version ? [01:55] AsHeS35: it shoudl be right on the first page of the BIOS. There should be a spot where it shows the hard-drive types, and it's usually set to "Auto" by default. [01:55] AsHeS35: I don't think a 32-bit version of the OS will make a difference. [01:55] guest15782, did you try dig? [01:55] so on lucid server is there any way to skip the upstart boot process? it is having an issue with udev or nfs or something and even rescue mode doesn't work [01:55] heebie: do i make a live-cd ? [01:56] BLZbubba: Does it throw you error messages? [01:56] need a little help with shell scripting [01:56] How does a backported driver work? I want access to a module (atl1c) that was backported to 10.04 [01:56] heebie: no [01:56] photofroggy: shoot [01:56] of course not [01:56] AsHeS35: You download a Cd image from the Ubuntu site and burn it to CD. [01:56] is there a way to use sysvinit instead? [01:56] <`d-_-b`> Needed>>>ircd.conf - hybrid<< yes i did it [01:56] BLZbubba: No error messages at all? :( [01:56] heebie:yes i did it [01:56] CharlieSu: how would I start a process in a shell script without it waiting for the process to finish? [01:56] photofroggy: you'd like it to background? [01:56] heebie:if i setup on boot,is it gonna be okay ? [01:57] CharlieSu: and if possible, have it on a specific screen? [01:57] HHabib1: thanks, mate ... for your help and the best wishes [01:57] or maybe a way to tell upstart to write verbose output to a log file [01:57] your welcome brother :) [01:57] CharlieSu: not really background, pushing it to a specific screen would be ideal [01:57] photofroggy: not sure about that.. sorry. [01:58] CharlieSu: well, what about background? [01:58] photofroggy: what app are you trying to do that with? [01:58] ubuntu4shane: a python script [01:58] Hi ubuntu [01:58] this is just retarded, i hope red hat doesn't make this mistake [01:58] photofroggy: what is the end goal? [01:58] just to launch the process... [01:58] photofroggy: ok, what do you mean by pushing it to a specific screen like tty? or the virtual screens? [01:58] which type of mistake [01:59] ubuntu4shane: a virtual screen, I guess, one created with `screen -dmS name` [02:00] photofroggy: hmm, that is a bit over my head, usually scripting isn't GUI related [02:00] AsHeS35: I don't know if it'll be O.K. I don't know why you're getting that error. It could be that it's just a really old motherboard. (It would have to be REALLY REALLY old not to understand LBA mode.) [02:01] heebie:i setupped some other linux version which is pardus and i delete on win7(the motherboard is REALLY REALLY new ) [02:01] heebie:is it a problem for ubuntu ? or setup [02:01] hola a todos como estan?

[05:27] I'm getting an error: no such partition [05:28] ferris_, not in a vm! It stays not running that way. ;) [05:28] always install win7 first, then ubuntu... reinstall ubuntu [05:28] but i installed ubuntu in a removable hard disk [05:28] I'm running rsync from live ubuntu cd. I can't sync some files because "Permission Denied (13)" error. Is there a way to get permissions and transfer these files?? [05:29] cong: Can you be more specific? I've already found several places in Kubuntu to configure language options. I have my input method set to ibus, and in ibus preferences I have "Show icon on system tray" checked. [05:29] I can't boot into a LiveCD or a USB,,, [05:29] didt, are the partitions mounted rw and are you owner or part of group? Is it only certain directories? Certain files? [05:29] and then insatlled win7。。。forgot to remove the disk [05:30] I'm running ubuntu and I can't copy files from one drive to another drive because I keep getting an error saying that I don't have permission. Help? [05:30] hey i need to take permissions of all files and folders located at /media/bigdrive, my user name is rahduke. I just built a new pc [05:30] whats the chown command i need [05:30] Jacenzzz: that will be hard then, can attach the drive to another running ubuntu ? [05:30] !who | Jacenzzz: [05:30] Jacenzzz:: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:30] weed_up, there may be a different way to get ubuntu up and running and some one else might help but the way I would do it is to reinstall ubuntu [05:31] rahduke, man chown sudo chown -R rahduke.rahduke /media/bigdrive [05:31] thanks seven [05:31] brokendatapoint: any changes ? [05:31] I'm running ubuntu and I can't copy files from one drive to another drive because I keep getting an error saying that I don't have permission. Help? [05:32] didt, I replied already [05:32] @alraune I guess...its my laptop. It's a dualboot system but because GRUB is screwed up i cant get into windows either. I have a win7 CD and I ran startup repairs but its still not working [05:32] Hi there. Does ubuntu have a list of who maintains which ubuntu packages? Are some packages just pulled directly from debian and automatically rebuilt for ubuntu? I'm curious because I've taken over the release of a project that has an ubuntu package and I am trying to figure out how to alert the ubuntu package maintainer that a new release is coming. [05:32] Seven_Six_Two. Didn't see it. While running ubuntu live CD is not possible to get permissions to external drives? [05:32] Jacenzzz: I'm not sure if this is related to your problem but check it out. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-2/Maverick/#Basic%20Installation%20Instructions [05:32] anyone have some documents descripting the struction of UFS boot sector [05:33] Seven_Six_two It's hard to see when someone responds to me because I'm using a web IRC chat because Ubuntu live CD doesn't have xchat anymore. :( [05:33] didt, open a terminal and type mount look for "r" or "rw" on the applicable lines. If your drive/partition isn't listed, you have to mount it [05:33] Jacenzzz: sure,win7 won't fix grub, and the box you're talking off now ? [05:33] I can no longer get NTFS config tool to open thus my 3 drives fail to load on boot. How can I fix this? [05:34] didt, how much memory do you have? You can install stuff from live cd if you have enough memory or (I think) a swap drive that it can detect [05:34] weed_up, if you have both ubuntu and winblows then you could probably get away with just installing the grub boot loader... [05:34] didt, *install stuff while running the live cd [05:34] Its not a Mac. I dont mind losing my Ubuntu...I can reinstall that anyday. I just need to get win7 back [05:34] i really tired in reinstalling systems- - [05:34] Seven_Six_Two Yes it's only certain files, not whole directories (I don't think). I'm not sure if the partition is mounted RW. I know that I can read a lot of the files but some of them I can't. [05:36] @alraune Its not a Mac. I dont mind losing my Ubuntu...I can reinstall that anyday. I just need to get win7 back [05:36] didt, are you trying to go from an internal to internal? How big are the source and destination? Are the permissions and owner the same as at least 1 successfully copied file? [05:36] Jacenzzz: Fair enough. I'm not sure how to fix GRUB. I've never had any success reinstalling it once it gets messed up. [05:36] Jacenzzz: then go to #windows and eplained how fixmbr works [05:36] so this might not be the right place, but can someone point me in the right direction for getting two separate wallpapers for my extended display? [05:37] appreciate it! [05:37] ferris_: my two systems are in two separate HDD [05:37] Seven_Six_Two The source drive is a 1TB internal. And the destination is an external 640gb USB drive. [05:37] i have the extended display going. just want two different wallpapers ;x [05:37] Jacenzzz: also can try supergrubdisk [05:37] Jacenzzz, is winblows listed in the boot loader? [05:37] shmup: That is an interesting question. [05:37] i've done it on windows, quite easily [05:38] Jacenzzz: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [05:38] i'm sure it's been done on ubuntu [05:38] Is there a way to have my 3 NTFS drives mount automatically at boot? [05:38] I dont see anything in the bootloader.... [05:38] shmup: Right click-> change desktop background doesn't work I gather? [05:38] it just says "error: no such partition" "grub-rescue>" [05:38] Sameyeam: put 'em in fstab [05:38] Seven_Six_Two the permissions of all of the files appear to be the same 1000 USER Access Read and Write. [05:38] didt, I've seen that error when I ran out of space. Try emptying your trash, and ensure you're not out of space. All drives actually hold less than advertised because different bases are used in advertised sizes and actual sized [05:38] stellarnight, nope. changes both of 'em. :/ [05:38] how do i install adobe flash player 10.xx [05:39] stellar, i'm considering trying a wallpaper with double the width [05:39] !fstab | Sameyeam [05:39] Sameyeam: 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 [05:39] didt, and of course formatting takes up some of the space too [05:39] to see how it handles, by default [05:39] stellarnight * [05:39] Seven_Six_Two My drives have plenty of empty space on them. [05:39] ferris_:i need some documents descripting the struction of UFS boot sector，so that i，maybe，i can fix it by winhex [05:40] shmup: does your wall paper currently stretch across all desktops or display the same picture multiple times once per desktop? [05:40] alraune, thanks. [05:40] Seven_Six_Two - After I get the permissions error I can still transfer other files, so it doesn't have anything to do with size. Most of the files are about the same size 500mb-1Gb [05:40] ubottu, thanks [05:40] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:40] freenode means what guy [05:40] Jacenzzz: When you first boot up do you get a boot loader screen? [05:40] stellarnight, i know what you're thinking. naw, it doesn't stretch it currently. but that might be the ticket, though. finding a way to display the same background across both [05:40] stellarnight, stretched. [05:40] Sameyeam: can pastebin your work on fstab, if unsure [05:40] didt, what is the filesystems of the two drives? [05:41] !paste [05:41] 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. [05:41] Seven_Six_Two The permissiosn issue is somwhat random. Some files transfer and other files dont'. [05:41] Jacenzzz, get yourself a windows boot disc and boot to a prompt run fixmbr then reinstall ubuntu [05:41] @stellarnight no...I can get into BIOS though [05:41] Seven_Six_Two EXT4 and NTFS I'm pretty sure. [05:41] didt, ntfs is destination? [05:41] Seven_Six_Two NTFS is the destination, yes. [05:42] Jaceenzzz, try booting into windows first, but that is what I would try first. [05:42] @ferris_ cant boot into windows [05:42] shmup: have you tried compiz? Maybe there is a plugin that will allow it there. [05:42] stellarnight, it worked :) [05:42] stellarnight, i just have to set the background to "span" in appearance preferences [05:42] instead of stretch/center, etc [05:42] Jacenzzz: What happens when you try boot from CD/USB? What CD did you try? What did you use to make the bootable USB? [05:43] Jacenzzz, boot using the disc into a prompt and then run fixmbr [05:43] shmup: Nice! Good to know. [05:43] Jacenzzz, then after running fixmbr try to boot into windows [05:43] @Jordan_U CD doesnt work, USB used to work now it gets stuck booting. [05:43] Seven_Six_Two Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm running from a live CD instead of an installation of Ubuntu? [05:43] @ferris_ will do [05:44] guys i use sony vaio laptop and my compize is not have full plugins i need more plugins how [05:44] Jacenzzz: do you have a live cd that will boot? You might be able to reinstall GRUB there and recover both installs. [05:44] Jacenzzz: How did you try to create the bootable USB? What exactly happens when you try to boot from it? [05:44] didt, ok. I thought maybe file size limit, but ntfs doesn't suffer as far as I know. Are the file sizes similar for all rejected copies? Do the same files always fail? [05:44] Seven_Six_Two Basically, I need to get the files off of this drive so that I can reformat it to NTFS. [05:44] @Jordan_U friend made the USB for me...I have used it before but now it gets stuck when searching for the partitions [05:45] hey gang! Is bit streaming HD audio possible under linux? Or do I have yet another reason to hate DRM? [05:45] Jordan_U, check to see if your system can boot from a USB device before going through the trouble... check your cmos [05:45] didt, The live cd shouldn't affect it, you obviously have the ntfs driver. [05:45] Seven_Six_Two Yes, they always fail to transfer in RSYNC and in Ubuntu (Copy and Paste). And they are all pretty much the same size. [05:45] @ferris_ how do I get into the window terminal? [05:45] didt, are they particularly large? [05:45] you will need a boot disc [05:46] i have one [05:46] run>cmd [05:46] I'm at the system recovery options [05:46] 600-700mb. SHouldn't be a problem considering I transfered files as large as 7.7GB in RSYNC. [05:47] hey, can somone explain what the nice collumn in system monitor means if it has a negative value? [05:47] Jacenzzz, it has been a while but you should get some sort of menu list to choose from... [05:47] didt, no, that wouldn't be a problem. I was thinking that it could be fat32 instead [05:47] my compize has not complete plugins i need more === dave is now known as Guest39366 [05:47] if you google it there are instructions on that [05:48] didt, do you see any error messages in the terminal, or any output from dmesg (or rsync log if there is one) [05:48] where do i put the icon theme package i just downloaded [05:48] Jacenzzz, wut are u trying to do === kenjin_ is now known as Guest47211 [05:48] ubuXubu, I think he needs to chkdsk /fixmbr [05:48] Jacenzzz: A bit off topic for here but check this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html [05:48] Startup Repair, System restore, system image recovery, windows memory diagnostic, and command prompt....the command promt wont run fixmbr [05:49] ubuXubu, fdisk /fixmbr maybe [05:49] so he bkew out his windows bootloader? [05:49] Seven_Six_Two I backed up a bunch of files last month with rSync from the same source and destination drives. Not a problem. Now that I'm running in a Live CD it's not working. [05:49] blew* [05:49] seven six two i have compize but it has not complete plugins i need more [05:49] ubuXubu, grub is screwed up, he wants to get win7 back, so I told him to boot to a command prompt and run fixmbr and then try to boot into windows, and then reinstall ubuntu [05:50] ubuXubu, he doesn't care about reinstalling ubuntu... just getting win7 back [05:50] Seven_Six_Two I have a feeling that If I reinstall Ubuntu I'll be able to access the files. I have no evidence of that, but I bet it's true. [05:50] ferris, so he has windows on c drive and ubuntu beside it but he cant boot to windows? [05:50] no, it is on a separate drive [05:50] didt, ok that narrows it down. do the files have any special characters? ntfs is slightly more restrictive, and I'm not sure what error you'd get from rsync [05:51] if I am understanding correctly [05:51] @stellarnight how was that offtopic???? o.O THANKS [05:51] has he backed up all his files? [05:51] Permission denied (13) [05:51] I put ubuntu into D: [05:51] i doubt he has 2 hard drives [05:51] Seven_Six_Two Permission denied (13) [05:51] Jacenzzz: Off topic in that it was unrelated to ubuntu. :P Hope it helps. [05:51] didt, unless there's a bug on the cd you have, there's no reason it wouldn't work just like it would from an install. You could try a different live cd if you have another. [05:51] guys please help me [05:51] not 2 physical...just 2 partitions [05:51] ok [05:52] ubuXubu: ferris_: He's using wubi. It's a known bug in wubi that unfortunately has not been fixed that makes windows and ubuntu unbootable. [05:52] ubuXubu, I am not sure... I am not anywhere near him unless he is OC [05:52] ok good then wubi is just a file run insdie windows [05:52] he did not partition at all [05:52] night, don't target ppl with questions right away, ask the channel. You don't need to ask to ask, or declare that you need help. everyone here is either helping or needs help as well. [05:53] Jordan_U, thanks. I have not heard of that yet... I have never installed linux inside windows... I give Linux its own partition [05:53] now. listen...if he doesnt care about wubi(ubuntu), we do a recovery if he has backed up all his important data. [05:53] ok seven six two i have not complete compiz plugins [05:53] didt, how many directories deep are the failing files? [05:53] how i get more plugins [05:53] Jacenzzz, so you did not use wubi or you did? [05:54] ubuXubu, you have it from here, I will sit back and learn [05:54] ubuXubu, I did use Wubi :/ [05:54] ok Jacenzzz [05:54] Hi, does anyone uses sony vaio on Ubuntu or is aware of a compatibility list for linux? [05:54] Seven_Six_Two NO, there's not special characters in the file names. And there's no logical connection between the files that wont transfer. They have different extensions, different names, regular characters. Some .avi files transfered and others did not. One of the files that didn't transfer was a PDF, the rest were AVI. [05:54] night, there should be some available in synaptic. Or you can visit the compiz website for more downloads complete with install instructions [05:54] so then u did not partition your drive at all unless you have other OS's? [05:54] Nope...just threw ubuntu into D: [05:55] Jacenzzz, do you have important data on this computer? [05:55] night: Have you tried System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager? [05:55] lonejack, I had a vaio... but it was quite old. I had several issues with it... mostly wifi and graphics [05:55] lonejack: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [05:55] Seven_Six_Two They all have the same exact permissions. [05:55] yes...its my school computer [05:55] I have windows backed up though... I'm not completely retarded [05:55] lonejack, I might be able to help. what is the issue? [05:55] can you back up your data to a remote drive Jacenzzz [05:56] Seven_Six_Two I'm not the "owner" of the files so I can't change the permissions. How will I ever be able to change the permissions and read these files? [05:56] my last backup is a two weeks old...it has all of the important stuff...its on an external though [05:56] ferris_, I'would like to buy one this type: http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/specifications/index.aspx?m=VGN-FS285B [05:56] ferris_, is old [05:57] ferris_, but for 100 Euro [05:57] Jacenzzz, if this computer was bought new it may still have the original built in hidden recovery partition [05:57] alraune, thnak you [05:57] Jacenzzz, what type of computer is it [05:57] is there a 'best' laptop for Ubuntu/Linux? [05:57] didt, sudo chmod 777 filename.ext should let you change them, or you should be able to sudo username to switch to that user. [05:57] Seven_Six_Two I've read from these files in several linux distrobutions over the last 2 months or so. (I'm a bit of a distro hopper.) So I don't have any clue what is causing this problem. [05:57] lonejack: np, snack you :) [05:57] ASUS G51JX-A1 [05:58] Jacenzzz, did u get it new [05:58] Seven_SIx_Two The failing files are the same levels deep as the successful files. [05:58] yep back in April [05:58] Is there a best laptop for Ubuntu/Linux? [05:58] !best | emma [05:58] emma: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:58] Jacenzzz, on an asus the recovery partition is accessed by turning on the computer and tapping the f9 key over and over [05:58] oh geezus i should have known. [05:58] i have an asus also [05:58] emma:no,but dell is reported to work well, as others, espececially pre-installed brands [05:58] emma: you can get a hardware compatibility list [05:58] Seven_Six_Two /drive/dir/dir/file [05:59] Seven_Six_Two So, they're not deep at all. [05:59] Jacenzzz, then u will see it boot to recovery..do not choose restore choose recovery. [05:59] emma:to me also thinkpads and medions did fine [05:59] emma: Canonical's HCL list tends to be useful for me: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ [05:59] !hcl | emma: this might be, also [05:59] emma: this might be, also: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:59] lonejack... http://ubuntufs.wordpress.com/about/ google is a good friend for this [06:00] ubuXubu, F9 didnt do anything [06:00] emma: look here :http://tuxmobil.org/ [06:00] Jacenzzz, try it again from the off position [06:00] alraune: why are you doing that here? [06:00] emma: hold on I'll get you list [06:00] Seven_Six_Two Can I set permissions recursively in all of the sub dirs? How would I do that/ [06:00] tap it rapidly the moment u turn it on Jacenzzz [06:01] hey guys [06:01] ubuXubu, did that....still didnt do anything [06:01] lonejack... there are some issues but with patience it looks like they can be overcome... and now that 10.10 is out you may have very few issues [06:01] how do I install java on Ubuntu? [06:01] Java for firefox? [06:01] well then what happens when you tap f9? Jacenzzz [06:01] emma: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/index.html [06:01] realeyes, ubuntu 10.10? [06:01] ubuXubu, goes into grub rescue> [06:01] ferris_, I'm convinced [06:01] yes [06:02] emma: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam [06:02] ferris_, thank you [06:02] histo: question was which lappi works good with linux [06:02] Jacenzzz, well ok is there tools offered to rubuild your grub [06:02] didt, damn. Ok. I think I am stumped. I read about an rsync bug that started 4 deep. first google result for "rsync Permission denied (13)" you can set recursively with sudo chmod -R 777 /topdirectorytochange [06:02] Super Grub disc? [06:02] ubuXubu, just logged on whats up [06:03] ferris_: yes. [06:03] need to recovery windpows [06:03] Hi, I have a FAT USB stick that contains a Smalltalk installation that worked on both Windows XP and ubuntu until Nov 10. After that date, now I am not able to open Pharo.sh as Maverick attempt to open it as an open office document. [06:03] says he only did a wubi install [06:03] Seven_Six_Two But this doesn't happen with just RSYNC. [06:03] realeyes, go to java and get to the download and there will be instructions for it [06:03] says he backed up all files [06:03] then you need to enable it in firefox [06:03] ubuXubu, build the windows partition first install and loading grub to the mbr is easy what grub are you using waht distro [06:04] realeyes, java installer should be available in synaptic, possibly under restricted packages metapackage [06:04] i know there are just a few commands you can put in the terminal [06:04] it is Jacenzzz nit-wit [06:04] didt, oh that's right. what were you using in the gui? [06:04] ubuXubu, build the partition=ntfs with gparted first [06:04] mine asus is fine [06:04] Seven_Six_Two Thanks for that command. I think that helped. I didn't get an error when it ran. So I hope the permissions are changed. [06:04] nit-wit, right now he booted to grub recovery [06:05] Seven_Six_Two I was using cut and paste in the right click menu. [06:05] Jacenzzz, tell us where u are at now [06:05] didt, hopefully. what program though? nautilus? konqueror? [06:05] ubuXubu, thans I will look at the logs here [06:05] Seven_Six_Two Looks like it's working now. rSync. [06:05] I'm trying to repair the win7 MBR with my win7 bootdisc [06:05] Seven_Six_Two Nautilus. [06:05] mneptok you around ? [06:06] didt, oh ok. well if it's fixed, bonus! [06:06] Seven_Six_Two The files are transfering. [06:06] intrader: make it executable and launch from terminal,also rightclick open with > terminal [06:06] Seven_Six_Two Yeah, it's fixed. Thanks. I should have just asked for that command in the first playce. ;) Had I known that was all I needed. [06:07] hello. which log file contains the events for shutdown? [06:07] Jacenzzz, we will stand by if you have more questions [06:07] didt, lol, np. you know to use ls -al to see more in terminal, right? [06:07] Jacenzzz, from the booted W7 in the recovery console bootrec.exe /fixmbr [06:07] wrektjet: /var/log/syslog [06:08] alraune, I don't know how to make 'it executable and launch from terminsl' - rightclick on the file opens it as Open Office [06:08] Jacenzzz, the auto repair works fine if the boot flag is on the correct partition [06:08] if I have 10.10; whats some good stuff to do to it using the terminal? :P [06:08] intrader: open a terminal and cd to the file's folder [06:09] I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.04 which was upgraded from 8.04, but I've always had issues with the audio shutting off while doing anything but using JACK, any program that doesn't use JACK will run audio for a little while, then the audio shuts off, but the program still runs, can someone please help me troubleshoot this?

I think it needs more attention. [06:11] @nit-wit yes...I was told the wrong comand for mbr [06:11] alraune, '+ux' invalid mode. [06:11] thats why i know f9 boot to the built in recovery partition [06:11] @Jordan_U most definitely! [06:11] right now with wubi there are grub updates so be careful [06:12] Jacenzzz: Here is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/610898 [06:12] apparanty his built in recovery is gone so he is using the disks [06:12] ubuXubu, I dunno either...mean and Ubuntu always end up having fights like these. first time my GRUB was ever screwed up though [06:12] intrader, I said +ux, alraune said chmode (it's chmod) [06:12] any wubi user remember that command it will reload the mbr [06:12] Seven_Six_Two: thanks for watching [06:13] well if u backed up data we can do complete reinstall as a worse case scenario [06:13] @nit-wit already saved it in a text file haha [06:13] intrader: sudo chmod +x YourFile.sh [06:13] hello.. [06:13] how do i end X [06:13] ? [06:13] intrader, and you can do it from gui if either you're owner of file or you start file manager as root [06:13] alraune, ;) [06:13] ubuXubu, I was completely repaired to do that. I do frequent backups just in case ;) [06:14] Jacenzzz, there is a whole command set for rebuilding other part sif you go to the UF and PM me as wilee-nilee I will give them to you [06:14] are you having any luck with nit-wit instruction to repair the boot loader [06:14] ubuX [06:14] ubuX i think he is in [06:15] cool [06:15] alraune, '+x' eventually leads to getting Permission Denied [06:15] anyone know of good DJ software in linux? I know there is nothing compared to what you can get in Windows but still [06:15] anyone know how to change log in screen in 10.10 [06:15] con-man, I tried mixxx and it was neat. so was djplay (I think I got the names right) [06:15] jerich: yes [06:15] does ubuntu provide an unstripped vmlinux object for use with oprofile? [06:16] intrader: ? sudo chown $USER YourFile.sh [06:16] jerich: it was a mighty pain in the ass to find how to [06:16] con-man, don't know but you might want to have a look at the stuff that comes with ubuntu studio [06:16] con-man, you might want to look into using JACK, but let me warn you, you'll have a lot of reading to do. [06:16] jerich, what are you looking for a background [06:16] wish it was like prevoius versions of ubuntu or any linux release's for that matter \ [06:16] Seven_Six_Two, when I stick the USB in a window opens automatically without sudo permissions and therefore the gui is not working to change the execute bit. This used to until Nov 10. [06:16] @nit-wit what do you mean rebuilding other parts? [06:17] jerich: it doesn;t work like 10.04 ?? [06:17] was hoping to huck a penguin on there [06:17] jerich, I have used burg but thatis a grub replacement actually grub in drag [06:17] intrader, and is the file owner different on the file than your current username for some reason? [06:17] http://pastebin.ca/2000745 [06:17] jerich: see if that works for you [06:17] Jacenzzz, some time people will delete the /boo/bcd part by removing a partition [06:17] 3,2,1, good night everyone. Thanks for all the support. :) [06:18] intrader, and can you not do it from a terminal? [06:18] try the grub? lol [06:18] Jacenzzz, /boot/bcd* [06:18] anyone can tell me the fdisk syntax for partitioning full drive? [06:18] AbhiJit: use cfdisk [06:18] alraune, I get '-rw-r--r-- 1 intrader intrader 189 2010-04-07 06:46 Pharo.sh' [06:18] theorem, ok [06:19] Seven_Six_Two, no [06:19] I'm trying to uninstall Ubuntu now so I can do a fresh install not using Wubi but it wont uninstall.... [06:19] I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.04 which was upgraded from 8.04, but I've always had issues with the audio shutting off while doing anything but using JACK, any program that doesn't use JACK will run audio for a little while, then the audio shuts off, but the program still runs, how do I troubleshoot this? [06:19] alraune, Seven_Six_Two, the volume is FAT [06:19] use a boot disk to format it [06:19] Jacenzzz, use the uninstall in the wubi folder [06:19] airlynx use a boot disk to format [06:20] intrader: ah, so perms then [06:20] very funny jerich [06:20] intrader, out of my depth. I don't know how permissions are handled on fat [06:20] intrader: ah, so no* perms then [06:20] @nit-wit I did o.O [06:20] intrader: ./YourFile.sh [06:20] Jacenzzz, so what do you see going on [06:20] intrader, while in the same directory, that is [06:21] alraune, Seven_Six_Two, it used to work until Nov 10. ./Pharo.sh - permission denied [06:21] ;) [06:21] I've tried looking online, but my problem is too general to google, I get all sorts of stuff but nothing very relative, I need some help figuring out what the problem is [06:21] what irc app do u guys prefer to use [06:21] @nit-wit error excecuting command=C:\Windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe /delete [06:21] airlynx so all your doing is wipeing clean? [06:21] intrader: try prefix sudo, then find out where it wants to write to [06:21] Jacenzzz, are you in admin [06:21] 10.04 + nvidia resolution issue: When resolution settings are not correct during boot, does it just end up in terminal or show appropriate message? Because I tried commiting the nvidia generated xorg.conf for 1024x768, this resolution works perfectly fine with vesa driver. In my case the when using nvidia xorg for 1024x768 it just hangs to terminal while F8 terminal shows "Checking battery states [OK]" [06:21] jerich, I think you have me confused [06:22] @nit-wit yep [06:22] jerich, I'm having issues with audio crashing in my apps [06:22] airlynx probly [06:22] oh my bad lol [06:22] alraune, I have tried - I don't 'know where it wants to write' [06:22] does ubuntu come with adobe flash? i'm trying to remove it so i can test lightspark [06:22] Jacenzzz, try the remove programs in the standard program remover forget the name [06:22] all i see in the package manager is "flashlugin-installer" [06:22] flashplugin* [06:23] zen: try sudo nvidia-xconfig from out of x, restart gdm then [06:23] ubuntu support usb 3.0 ? [06:23] alraune, Seven_Six_Two, behavior changed after Nov 10 [06:23] right clicking on a youtube vid and going to properties shows "flash 10.1" but i cannot find it [06:23] intrader: alsodoesn't work with sudo ? === noel is now known as Guest73797 [06:24] Okay, more specific question, if I think PulseAudio is causing the problem, can I remove any/all PulseAudio packages and if I do so will the system automatically revert to ALSA? [06:24] Jacenzzz, I know very few windows commands [06:24] intrader, you mentioned that... Does it run from a local drive? Is it too big to pastebin the .sh file? Do you remember updating, installing or removing *anything*? [06:24] airlynx, for the most part it will be ok [06:24] is there a channel where I can connect with xchat? [06:24] @nit-wit since its obviosly corrupt, can I just delete the files? [06:25] alraune, that is correct, it does not work with sudo [06:25] Lancelot, not sure what you mean. [06:25] airlynx, you will lose your panel volume control, but there are others [06:25] airlynx: pulse is like a proxy for sound, while oss or alsa provide the drivers [06:25] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [06:25] intrader: no idea then [06:25] In xchat you'd just /server irc.freenode.net [06:25] and /join #ubuntu [06:25] alraune, I've never used [06:25] !x11 [06:25] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [06:25] shmup, I can't connect to irc//irc.adelais.net using xchat, but I can with chatzilla [06:25] alraune, I've never used PulseAudio before upgrading to 10.04 [06:25] Jacenzzz, probably but your in windows with no ubuntu or other files open correct [06:25] Lancelot, try just connecting to irc.freenode.net === Avasz is now known as Guest14638 [06:26] Lancelot: remove the irc:// from the front; you just want the irc.adelais.net part [06:26] @nit-wit correct === Guest14638 is now known as Avasz [06:26] okay [06:26] Lancelot, and what rww said. :P [06:26] strent, doesn't everything get restarted with sudo service programname restart [06:26] Seven_Six_Two, the problem is that I can't set Pharo.sh as executable in a FAT volume, and therefore I can execute it. Someone mentioned to mount the USB as executable, but I don't know how. [06:26] what does this error mean? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D0AFF96872D340A3 [06:26] airlynx: maybe haaven't realized, was there by default before [06:26] rrw, well it's an improvement... [06:26] i get that when i do apt-get update and i cant install any applications [06:26] alraune, thanks anyway! [06:26] Jacenzzz, that is strange I have installed wubi just to check it out, it always was removed easily [06:27] Seven_Six_Two: huh? [06:27] Avasz: need to install the pgp-key [06:27] ubottu: gpgerr | Avasz [06:27] Avasz: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

[06:27] Somehow I m not able to affect the power management settings to 'never' put the computer to sleep [06:27] I m using Ubuntu 10.10 [06:28] Avasz: try D0AFF96872D340A3 [06:28] ok [06:28] i dont think so :s [06:28] anybody having pidgin issue with MSN? [06:28] Avasz: In the future, you should probably use add-apt-repository command instead of adding the line manually. [06:28] Jacenzzz, I would run a chkdsk /r [06:28] Avasz: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D0AFF96872D340A3 [06:28] shmup, there are .so files in your browser plugins directory. did you remove or completely remove? [06:28] Seven_Six_Two, as soon as I stick the USB in, a window opens showing the folders in the USB. I don't have a chance to tell it that it is executable. [06:28] Seven_Six_Two, I did not. Will do, thanks. :) [06:28] Lancelot: huh. Put port 6667 on the end, then [06:28] krunal: see http://squidsrants.blogspot.com/2010/11/pidgin-msn-and-other-protocols.html [06:29] Lancelot: /connect irc.whateveritwas 6667 [06:29] Avasz: sudo apt-get update, still error ?

[06:37] nullkuhl: might have something to do with the version of nvidia-settings.. depends.. I use the x-swat PPA for the drivers and it pulls in the matching settings program for the drivers.. it may also setup the drivers differently.. you might have to use xrandr to adjust the rez. [06:37] Mikaze: tried vlc ? [06:37] Mikaze, have you installed the restricted-extras package and run the script for decss that comes with libdvdread4? [06:37] prakriti Thank you very much.

Ok will try overwriting and rebooting. Will report back here after 2 mins.

[06:52] ActionParsnip, lemme try again [06:52] glitchd: try http://pastie.org [06:52] i have a toshiba battery prolem in ubuntu [06:52] help [06:52] fsck / terminated with status 4 [06:52] There are two aspects to Linux permissions: the people who have access and the access they are granted. There are three groups of people: owner, group, and others. There are three types of permissions read (2), execute (1), and write (4). You simply add the permissions that you want (i.e. read and write is 2+4=6). You get three sets of permissions, which get combined to form a three digit number.For example,to give the owner, group, and others read an [06:52] d write access the permissions would be 666. To allow only the owner to read/write and group/others to read only, then the permissions would be 622. [06:52] Seven_Six_Two: what, you mean opening that file ? I culdnt understand [06:52] grendal_prime: i'd go for live cd then [06:53] grendal_prime, maybe you can fsck from a live cd? [06:53] Seven_Six_Two: if you mean in terminal, yes i browsed to that file using sudo. [06:54] I was away from teh comptuer for a second-did anyone notice my question? [06:54] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1322135 [06:54] glitchd: get all flash plugins removed that are listed there, then install only flashplugin-nonfree. I gotta changebusso will bbiab [06:54] zen, no I mean running sudo nvidia-settings instead of gksudo nvidia-settings not that it should matter [06:54] ActionParsnip, u gotta what?? [06:54] i would definitely specify 64bit then Keith-BlindUser [06:54] glitchd: switch bus. I'm on the way to work [06:55] ok so ull be back right? [06:55] Ah [06:55] he'll be on a bus [06:55] Keith-BlindUser, not yet. I've never purchased them before, but you can always download the 64 bit versions [06:55] ActionParsnip, ull be back? [06:55] glitchd: he said he will be [06:55] So far though on the store form I see a payment confirmation form and all that stuff, but not a place to sspessify what CD type you get in the pack..am I wrong? [06:55] Anyone, how do I mount a FAT usb with execute permissions so that I can do a chmod on a .sh file? [06:55] Gnea, k [06:55] Seven_Six_Two: tried with sudo. Still no luck "ERROR: Unable to open X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' for writing." [06:55] soft reboot.. [06:55] glitchd: uninstall that package and install flashplugin-nonfree,shouldbefine.I'll be about 10. You get working :) [06:55] intrader, with exec option [06:55] ill do a cold now.. [06:56] man this blows [06:56] st__, tell me more [06:57] anybody got any kind of wireless usb adapters working with 10.10? [06:57] intrader, use 'mount' command to see what the deviace name for your usb is and then mount it 'udisks --mount DEVICE --mount-option rw,exec' [06:57] frankie____yul: I'd assume any that worked with previous kernel versions would work with 10.10 [06:58] how do i upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and is it safe? === dean is now known as canadacow [06:58] Ok, any sugestion for wireless adapters? have tried two of them with ndiswrapper - no luck [06:59] infid, its not recommended, lets put it that way [06:59] !upgrade | infid [06:59] infid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:59] zen, the only think I can think of is that you aren't in the sudoers file. Or something else entirely... ;) [06:59] s/recommended/ideal/ [06:59] frankie____yul: have you seen the list of supported wifi devices? [06:59] yeah, but it seems the list is for older versions of ubuntu [06:59] infid, you can upgrade, but I did it, and went back to 10.04 [06:59] * Datz wants to see a comprehensive list [07:00] and I picked netgear that was in that list and it did not work [07:00] I used to have a link to a good one [07:00] frankie____yul: do the math - if it works for an older release, it'll work for a newer release [07:00] Seven_Six_Two: why is it so bad this time? i went from 9.10 to 10.04 fine [07:00] frankie____yul: which netgear? [07:00] infid: It's not. [07:00] infid, v4l2 problems, no good -rt kernel [07:00] st__, I don't recognize any of the `mount` output. I know the volume is named SAVES so it mounts from /media/SAVES [07:00] gnea: just a sec, [07:00] infid, I had other minor issues, but nothing that patience wouldn't fix [07:01] I used http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/index_html/net/wireless/index_html/cards.html to pick a wifi card. the ath9k-using D-Link I got works fine. [07:01] st__, I found it - the confounded USB is '/dev/sdb1 on /media/SAVES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)' [07:01] frankie____yul, I suggest buying wireless dongles brand names from much more reputable small shops rather than the likes of large corporations like netgear which has a notorious habit of sharing same model numbers with different wireless chipsets [07:01] Seven_Six_Two: are the changes major enough to where i should consider a full install? i dont really want to have to reconfigure all my current stuff unless it's major [07:02] prakriti The termenial gave this E: Invalid operation search [07:02] infid, is your home on a separate partition? [07:02] Seven_Six_Two: I am in fact in sudoers file. Just tried doing gksudo gedit and pasted the nvidie xorg preview and saved. still no luck. What happens is it just hangs at the boot screen, I can even change the terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+.... I have to load grub by pressing shift and then reset the xorg. [07:02] Syria, sudo apt-cache search [07:02] Seven_Six_Two: *I CANT even change th terminal ..... [07:03] Seven_Six_Two: yeah [07:03] zen, dang. sorry. I don't know what to suggest. do you see any output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? [07:03] gnea: cant seem to find the model [07:03] frankie____yul, does it even have fcc id printed on the device itself? [07:03] psycho_oreos: which one have you tried? [07:04] frankie____yul: it's possible you're pulling my chain. [07:04] I am facing problems in pidgin in ubuntu 10.10. It crashes when someone calls me. Please help. [07:04] frankie____yul: the lsusb command doesn't show it? [07:04] how can i get an html for my desktop wallpaper on karmic [07:04] does ubuntu install well if your home dir is on a separate partition? eg it doesn't keep ubuntu specific files on your home? [07:04] infid, you can do a disc install if you want, and during partition setup, choose to use your home partition as whatever filesystem it is, tell it where to mount and make sure "format" is deselected. Then everything will still be mostly the same. [07:05] infid: works fine, although some dot-directories may need to be wiped [07:05] st__, does not accept 'sudo udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 --mount-option rw,exec' [07:05] gnea it was NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N [07:05] Gnea: will it wipe them for me [07:05] frankie____yul, I'm using ones by alfa networks, edimax and one generic brand (ok not really recommended but I double checked with the online seller which has the chipset that I wanted). D-Link also has fairly good versioning system so if you're still willing to stick with brand names you can buy from shops I'd get D-link.. however their SOHO routers/switches aren't particularly great [07:05] yes it was showing in lsusb [07:05] infid: no. [07:05] frankie____yul: great, what's the usb id? [07:05] pidgin crashes when someone calls me in it in ubuntu 10.10. pls help [07:06] frankie____yul, pastebin (not paste) your lsusb output [07:06] Seven_Six_Two: Yes, there is output iin /var/log/Xorg.0.log --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/535783/ I am unable to decipher anything meaningful from it. Any help please? [07:06] I have already returned the the card. [07:06] I will try to find the ubuntu forum thread where we discussed it [07:07] Ni8mare: perhaps try #pidgin [07:07] zen, do you have 2 monitors? [07:07] ok [07:08] Ni8mare: although they'll just tell you to upgrade to the newest version [07:08] frankie____yul: returned it to where? [07:08] Seven_Six_Two: No, only one monitor. [07:08] to the store. [07:08] * Gnea facepalms [07:08] frankie____yul, ubiquiti is also nice but rather expensive (quite plush) and again for the price you're paying from the ones I suggest you're not going to get screwed around quite easily by manufacturer deciding to change wireless chipset inside the physical device thereby forcing the lack of native linux drivers able to harness it [07:08] zen, ok because for some reason the xinerama extension is being loaded [07:08] frankie____yul: so you don't have ANY wireless cards with you right now? [07:09] nope. [07:09] frankie____yul: I'm sorry you felt you had to jump to that incorrect conclusion [07:09] man, I used like a week for that [07:09] frankie____yul: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear#USB if it's in that list and says it's supported, then it will work [07:09] and to get my money back I had to return it on time [07:10] frankie____yul, depending on your budget in any case, and whether or not would you feel comfortable buying products online. If you're looking for a cheap one and wouldn't mind purchasing it over internet, there's rokland n3 that I'd recommend however my usage compared to yours may vary alot. [07:10] zen, this also looks odd: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. [07:10] ok it was this card WNDA3100-200PES [07:10] frankie____yul: if it doesn't work out-of-the-box then it's because 10.10 changed something, then getting someone in here along with the forums to help you would be the correct route to go, not to mention less costly [07:10] Seven_Six_Two: hmm.. [07:10] st__, does not accept 'sudo udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 --mount-option rw,exec' [07:10] zen, your video card isn't reading your monitor's edid. I've read that unplugging your monitor's power cable for 30 minutes while pc is off can reset it. [07:11] http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2610 [07:11] frankie____yul: run: lsusb ,one line will identify the chip, websearch using the 8 character hex id [07:11] what's the name of the skype pkg for ubuntu? [07:11] i see the deb pkg on the skype webpage but would like to apt-get it [07:12] meowz: skype ,its in the partner repo [07:12] frankie____yul: checking it out... [07:12] meowz: or maybe medibuntu repo [07:12] ActionParsnip: i have all the sources [07:12] ActionParsnip, have you heard anything about how i5 cpu's work with ubuntu? optimized? [07:12] Seven_Six_Two: Thank you very much, I will try that now. If you are still here I will report you the results. Thanks once again. [07:13] ActionParsnip, turned out to be not such a big deal...i hit the F key while it was at that haulted screen ..it said...ATEMPTING TO FIX did the usual vodoo with inode clean up now all is good [07:13] meowz: I doubt you have ALL the sources [07:13] zen np. good luck [07:13] grendal_prime: nice. Wtg! [07:13] ActionParsnip: all the ones in the sources page [07:13] first page [07:13] frankie____yul: please read this again, at the VERY BOTTOM of the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear#USB [07:13] frankie____yul, the other way is to look at the internal pictures via the fcc id. Honest manufacturers would print fcc id on their devices if it utilises the radio networks (meaning wireless networks and bluetooth generally) and the fcc id could then be used to view the internal pictures of the said device without one having to physically pry the device apart (thus voiding warranty) [07:14] gnea, it was v2 not v1 [07:14] psycho_oreos: what is fcc id? [07:15] frankie____yul: doesn't matter much, did you happen to ever try wicd? [07:15] nope [07:15] frankie____yul, http://spectrum.ksc.nasa.gov/fcc_id3.jpg <--- purely an example, every device has a different fcc id but is not unique (like IMEI for example) [07:15] now, many wireless cards that I've had problems with started working with wicd [07:16] man, I should have come to irc channel when I was trying to get it to work... [07:16] meowz: I think they have their own repo. Let me check [07:16] frankie____yul: well, get the card again and try again [07:16] Hi, Is there anyway to remove all the games in one terminal command? [07:16] krunal: why ask me? [07:18] ActionParsnip, I thought I spoke to you about it a few days back - I guess it wasn't you . sorry [07:18] krunal: I have zero interest in cpu now so most likely not me ;) [07:19] Gnea, I wouldn't bother honestly :) just tell him to get a supported card, much less fiddling around [07:20] meowz: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/skype-in-ubuntu-partner-repository-gets.html [07:21] and netgear needs to get their act together because they're doing nothing more than giving their consumers who run alternative platforms grief [07:21] psycho_oreos: it's supported, but obviously the page is a bit out of date [07:21] http://banner.wo8cai.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?vbox007 [07:21] * psycho_oreos checks the link frankie____yul was talking about [07:21] !spam | woyujnss [07:22] !ops woyujnss spamming [07:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:22] *rolls eyes* [07:22] psycho_oreos: its not netgears job. They don't make the chips [07:23] psycho_oreos: they buy chips from broadcom/atheros/ralink and make adapters, the chip makers should make better drivers [07:24] Although ralink drivers are sweeeet [07:24] ActionParsnip, correct that they don't but they should at least properly version their products so that its easier reference.. D-Link's versioning is quite detailed with hardware rev. and firmware rev. printed clearly on the external packaging of their product which in turn can be used to easily identify if certain rev has different chipset or not [07:24] psycho_oreos: your OS can do that for you, but the marking makes purchase easier :) [07:26] woyujnss: Don't advertise links in here, please. [07:26] psycho_oreos: for future reference, you put a | after ops ;) [07:27] ActionParsnip, how do you mean? I mean like if one vendor doesn't have proper versioning clearly labelled on the device wouldn't that mean nothing more than giving consumers a bit of red herring trying to find ones with the right chipset to work with? I mean I wouldn't want to go buy a product, try it at home and to see that it fails to work with native and open sourced drivers but then I have to go back to the shop and return it.. isn't that purely just [07:27] a redundant and time wasting factor? :) [07:27] rww, :/ thanks [07:28] s/redundant/redundancy/ [07:29] psycho_oreos: could take a netbook down. Alternatively if you buy from company's whom preinstall linux, you can call and ask ifthey know if it will work with your chosen distro [07:29] Gnea, well I checked the device it is supported albeit using ndiswrapper which isn't a guaranteed method that it'll work :) [07:29] psycho_oreos: smart shopping :) [07:30] psycho_oreos: aah, well I picked up a cisco usb card a few months ago and they had a driver to download and compile, that seemed to work ok [07:30] ActionParsnip, though the case is vice versa when one has a computer already running for example linux and then having to purchase a wireless card because he/she needs to setup wireless network like what a normal windows/apple users would do :) just to find that they have to do more work [07:30] .. [07:30] hello. can someone explain to me what exactly the swap partition is? The descriptions i've got are making it sound like just a temporary files set. [07:31] Nach0z: swap is virtual memory [07:31] on 10.10 / where is the directory for tomcat6 WAR files to be put? [07:31] Nach0z: swap is using your HDD as RAM [07:31] and if you hibernate, swap is where your RAM is copied to so you can restore it [07:31] How can I add the "FreeBSD UFS2" file system as an option to the "Disk Utility 2.30.1" that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 ?? [07:32] Gnea, hmm well I dunno what chipset that would have but ndiswrapper isn't a guaranteed solution. I have some wireless cards that sometimes works with ndiswrapper but it is a real pain if you asked me and as a power user I have to treat the ndiswrapper with much precaution unlike the native wireless drivers [07:32] gotcha. thanks guys. later all [07:32] hello [07:33] psycho_oreos: yeah, I try to avoid ndiswrapper at all costs [07:33] anybody here? [07:33] meeee_: not I [07:33] how not? [07:34] whats the major differences btwn ubuntu and kubuntu [07:34] Gnea, well that wireless dongle that frankie____yul had requires ndiswrapper :D as far as I can tell from google searches it is broadcom bcm4323 chipset which has no native linux support [07:34] if you avoid the ndiswrapper and it does not work out of the box, no native drivers, arent you screwed? what do you thing of this one? http://is.gd/hGz4Y [07:34] i like ubuntu [07:34] what would cause wicd-monitor to gonuts? [07:34] krunal, ubuntu uses gnome frontend, kubuntu uses kde frontend. Same base, different frontends [07:34] krunal: Kubuntu uses the KDE Desktop Environment. Ubuntu uses GNOME. [07:35] right I read that.. but i've never used KDE....ubuntu is my first distro i've ever used [07:35] frankie____yul: sometimes the vendor has a linux driver [07:35] is KDE better? worse? any different? [07:35] psycho_oreos yes, chipset name started with bcm6 I think [07:35] krunal: it's a matter of taste [07:35] frankie____yul, pretty much you're stuffed if ndiswrapper doesn't want to work with it :) I have a chipset that refuses to work well with ndiswrapper [07:35] gnea, but isnt it too seldom? [07:35] krunal: you may find KDE fits your needs better than GNOME (or whatever) [07:35] ectospasm, i guess trying both out will be the answer...see what I like [07:35] krunal: exactly [07:35] krunal, well kde can be more resource intensive than gnome [07:35] frankie____yul: not with netgear/cisco [07:36] frankie____yul: it's just not always obvious [07:36] frankie____yul, yeah that's definitely a broadcom chipset, bcm signifies broadcom which is slow to provide native linux support [07:36] krunal, this is your first linux attempt? [07:36] my new laptop arrives Friday. I hope that I don't have much trouble getting it to work... a few things that will need attention [07:36] coz_, yes [07:36] Ok, guys. so the way to go is with alfa member:networks, edimax, as suggested by psycho_oreos? [07:36] a few thign.. intel 6250 with wimax, geforce gtx 420m... [07:37] krunal, oh well... probably like everyone here...you will experiment with different Desktop Environments and applications [07:37] frankie____yul, there's also hawking and rokland [07:37] how can i mix ubuntu with windows on same desktop same time? [07:37] krunal, honestly ...I would suggest...at some point in this journey , that you do just that,, try the different Evironments available...some with suit your needs others will make you angry :) [07:37] how can i mix ubuntu with windows on same desktop same time? [07:38] meeee_: what do you mean by mix? [07:38] meeee_: dualboot? [07:38] meeee_: virtualization software [07:38] frankie____yul: d-link is bottom of the barrel [07:38] coz_, yes you are right.. i'll try KDE on the new system...i really like Ubuntu 10.10 right now. It's really friendly and pretty powerful [07:38] to use in same time [07:38] krunal, oh yeah...and I always come back to the Gnome desktop environment [07:38] !kvm | meeee_ [07:38] I had an issue with connecting to win7 shares > apparently unistalling MSN Live Assistant fixed it [07:38] meeee_: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [07:39] How can i install Virdft [07:39] krunal, I find it ,,, from my perspective,,, more logical and easier to get around in... kde is "fancier" than gnome :) [07:39] frankie____yul, that's not too bad of a choice, according to google searches, its using ralink chipset which is mostly supported under linux [07:39] How can i install Virdft [07:40] meeee_: virtualmachine [07:40] psycho_oreos: you mean the D-link example I sent a link to? [07:40] meeee_: and check out wubi [07:40] frankie____yul, yes, the D-Link DWA-140 [07:40] xttaetg, do mean this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [07:40] good idea [07:40] thanks [07:41] Other choices would be one of these: http://is.gd/hGzZx [07:41] No [07:42] It's a game [07:42] xttaetg, oh :) sorry about that...do you have a link? [07:42] Avasz: still online ? [07:42] coz_, on a new dell xps notebook...fancy might be good :) [07:42] im happy to use ubuntu [07:43] krunal, absolutely :) test it out.... experiment ...that 's part of the learning process [07:43] yes ,KVM is a player? [07:45] xttaetg, one hint on irc...if you type the first 2 or 3 letters of somone's name and hit the tab button to complete their name ,,,then type your message,,, they will be alerted and know that you are speaking with them :) [07:45] coz_, ok ,thank you [07:45] xttaetg, :) [07:46] xttaetg, now do you have a link for that game? [07:46] frankie____yul, I'd stick with D-Link if you need to go with really large brand :) just make sure to ask the seller which rev for both hardware and firmware the seller has prior to purchasing and then double-checking that with google to see if the chipset equipped is supported. Linksys and TP-Link afaik have poor versioning, Jensen and Zyxel I'm not too sure and again I won't recommend Netgear unless you can be certain that it has a supported chipset whi [07:46] ch you'll need to by fcc id and that won't be visible unless one has the actual device (not the packaging box or its manuals, etc) [07:46] yes [07:46] i have [07:46] xttaetg, could I see the link please [07:46] ok === dZoNi is now known as vase [07:46] wait a moment please [07:46] ok [07:48] psycho_oreos: how did you check which chipset used in DWA-140 [07:48] ? [07:48] hello, does anyone here have issues with mdadm and initrd when booting *sometimes* drops to a busy box shell? [07:48] coz_ http://vdrift.net/ [07:49] xttaetg, ok let me look,,, hold on [07:49] coz_ ok thanks [07:49] xttaetg, are you one ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 ? [07:49] frankie____yul, I type in the model number followed by appending the words `; chipset' so in that case I'd do: `DWA-140; chipset'.. and then from the results on the first few pages I get a general consensus on the chipsets it maybe reported to be equipped with [07:50] centos 5.5 [07:50] anyone here use mdadm at all? [07:50] frankie____yul, would GBP27 be within your budget for a really decent one? :) [07:51] coz_, centos is my host os [07:51] xttaetg, ooo... well you most likely will have to download the source for that game and then compile it manually [07:51] xttaetg, I was thinking ,,,since this is ubuntu channel ...that were on ubuntu which would be an easy install with the playdeb packages [07:51] psycho_oreos: cant find it on the website of the local store [07:52] coz_ ok thank you very much [07:52] i have ubuntu notbook installed on my laptop, the system looks perfect but if i want to watch a video on the web on the middle time is stop working. i tried on windows it is works perfect, can anyone help me why i can't watch from beginning to the end a video? [07:52] xttaetg, i would go to #centos channel [07:53] xttaetg, to do that ,, you probably already know...where you type here type /join #centos [07:53] xttaetg, they could better help with the installation of that game ...show them the link [07:53] coz_ my host os is ubunto [07:53] xttaetg, ah ok [07:53] meeee_, what type of video? flash? [07:54] i can give u link [07:54] xttaetg, http://www.playdeb.net/software/VDrift [07:54] http://www.echotv.hu/videotar.html?mm_id=108&v_id=5442 [07:54] frankie____yul, which? what? [07:54] psycho_oreos: GBP27 [07:54] DasEi: hi [07:54] hoi .. anybody runs linux on Acer Aspire 1810T i%? [07:54] ls [07:54] i5 [07:55] frankie____yul, ahh I meant that as in money.. as in GBP (Great British Pounds) 27 :) I don't have pounds symbol on my keyboard :) [07:55] psycho_oreos: I cannot find GBP27 on the website of the local store. Do you have a link? [07:55] Hi there. Does ubuntu have a list of who maintains which ubuntu packages? Are some packages just pulled directly from debian and automatically rebuilt for ubuntu? I'm curious because I've taken over the release of a project that has an ubuntu package and I am trying to figure out how to alert the ubuntu package maintainer that a new release is coming. [07:55] coz_ sorry,i'm wrong [07:55] coz_ my guest os is ubuntu [07:56] * psycho_oreos thinks he should probably just print the USD$ as it is listed on that seller site instead lol [07:56] can't install nvidia [07:56] xttaetg, ok ... on that link you gave me ,,,go to it's homepage ,, and at the bottom click on how to install the playdeb pcakge then just click the "Install now" button to install the game afterwards [07:57] coz_ what do you think? [07:57] xttaetg, I don't think one is able to install normal drivers for emulated devices under virtual machines and video cards is one of them that is emulated on the guest OS [07:57] meeee_, sorry ... the link> [07:58] ?

[08:05] xttaetg, s/rpm/tar/ && s/j/z/ === [5]k0rlvn[D] is now known as k0rvln [08:06] Syria, hmm it should appear as a directory once succesfully extracted or you get lots of files I think [08:06] Whoever is moderating askubuntu.com needs to get more vigorous about it... people need to learn it's not a forum and answers are not there just to serve the selfish desires of the person posting the question. === zeno is now known as Osnova [08:06] psycho_oreos yes, I have two folders and one file called install.py [08:06] airtonix: try #ubuntu-stack.

Then I suppose the files would have been installed as your current login (unless you want to put it somewhere else like for example around the rootfs [08:12] psycho_oreos, i can't use the command yum update [08:12] Hey [08:12] psycho_oreos It works!! Thank you very much. [08:13] Anyone got a nice theme that I can get for Gnome? Dark =) [08:13] psycho_oreos, i can't use the command yum update [08:13] Syria, heh np [08:14] i can't use the command yum update [08:14] xttaetg: use apt-get [08:14] xttaetg, that's for rpm based distro, not sure what you'll need to do, maybe put sudo in front if you're not superuser and/or check what switches yum accepts [08:15] psycho_oreos: could you look at the data sheet and tell me if there is good chance that it will work: ftp://ftp.dlink.se/Data%20sheets/dwa-140.pdf [08:15] it does not mention the chipset though [08:15] What file do I have to edit so that X doesn't auto load?

However DWA-140 afaik is supported for most parts, so you should have 3 options, the native driver, the sta driver by ralink or ndiswrapper [08:17] hi [08:17] anyone?

As this is only a warning, just ignore it. [09:34] We will drop the old 2.1 packages sooner or later from the repository.

[09:42] any ideas where to start looking? Or what service or deamon to restart? [09:42] hi, im using the ubuntu netbook version and im trying to get my main menu to the default ubuntu style and not with those big symbols on the left side. can anyone help me? =/ [09:43] akios, that is essential compontent in the netbook-interface. You should best reïnstall with normal Gnome. You cannot have both Gnome and Netbook Remix.

Though I am quite certain, just switching to Gnome is by far the easiest for you :) [09:52] where do I find the script, command or service to (re)start desktopcouch? [09:53] berkes: the startscripts should be in /etc/init.d/ [09:54] so according to a quick google search (assuming you want to start couchdb) you can use: /etc/init.d/couchdb [start|stop|restart] [09:54] salami, yes, but not desktopcouch. [09:54] salami, that is for the "global" couchDB, if you have that installed. [09:55] I have a tv tuner in my server running ubuntu 10.10 server ed.

[10:02] Hello [10:02] bilalakhtar, of the tv tuner card [10:03] Diverdude: it must be doing that, but for that you will need tools that would check that [10:03] Diverdude: if it's a PCI card, try "lspci" [10:03] and I can't think of any in that sort :( [10:03] guys I have problem in GanckTrack [10:03] bilalakhtar, i was thinking about a command similar to lspci [10:03] any one use GanckTrack ?

[10:13] people i have a 4 gig machine, can i use ubuntu 64 bit to get max performance and effortless use or it has to be 32 bit ? === dZoNi is now known as BOOB [10:14] solofight: If your CPU supports 64-bit, you can use 64-bit. If not, you can use PAE. [10:14] !pae [10:14] 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 [10:14] rww, a capture card? so it is a tv tuner card? [10:14] Diverdude: It's http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=107 , by the look of it [10:15] I'm not very knowledgable about these things, but it looks like one. [10:15] rww, hmmm yes....i wonder how to interface with that guy [10:15] rww: thanks for the link, will i be restricted in any way if i use the 64 bit os ? [10:16] solofight: Not really. I use 64-bit and haven't had problems, though some people in here claim to have issues with Flash and other non-open-source stuff. [10:16] everything in Ubuntu's repositories should work fine.

[10:25] i mean it keeps creating it self [10:25] solofight: yes [10:26] i even used sudo rm -rf but nothing happened [10:26] can you tell me what can i do to remove it [10:27] psyk3d: sorry I cam in late, what keeps creating itself? [10:27] Anyone know how to access a channel list vwith konversation? The help menue doesn't work [10:27] When I plug in my headphones the sound comes through the headphones and the speakers. The only way to solve this is to use alsamixer to lower the sound from the speakers but not from the headphones. [10:27] np, those files [10:27] Is there a way to fix this for good? [10:27] wait ill type everything in a sentence :P [10:27] rww: thank you [10:27] rww++ [10:28] i dled a torrent, but i wanted to delete it, it just doesnt go away, the files in the folders keep creating them selves everytime i delete them [10:28] psyk3d: which torrent client are you using?

[10:29] psyk3d: right-click the torrent in Deluge, I think there's a deletion option within the program [10:30] my "theory" psyk3d: is that it is the Deluge program that keeps recreating them [10:30] how can I remove a package that I can't uninstall, it shouldn't be there [10:30] nope, it isnt even running atm [10:31] is the download cancelled in the program?

[10:31] psyk3d: another theory is it is a permission thing maybe [10:31] i tried sudo [10:31] ic [10:31] sudo -i and su too [10:32] psyk3d: maybe because it is a hidden file? hmm let me see if this is an issue hang on [10:32] what is the file?

[11:08] * solofight blinks [11:08] thanks [11:08] biopyte, You might be able to yes, depends on your BIOS [11:10] i see, i could try to make a start-disk on the sd card using the thinkpad and then try to boot it on the eeepc [11:11] i'm creating the sd startup disk right now [11:11] dont believe the eeepc will boot it === sean is now known as Guest27162 === blaze is now known as Guest24748 [11:12] thank you rww :) you are a savior === Guest27162 is now known as SeanMc [11:14] danboid, eepc doesnt boot from the sd card [11:16] biopyte: for the USB stick, what point does it fail? Does the indicator light even blink like it's being read? [11:16] i have a MSI gx660r laptop with one speaker behind and two over the keyboard. The two in the front has no sound but the speaker on the back play sound. Has anyone else that problem? [11:17] i dont think so mate [11:17] try to change the alsamixer settings [11:17] ectoplasm, the stick led is blinking. === monarch is now known as madstein === SeanMc is now known as McIntyreS [11:17] madstein: its pulseaudio driver [11:17] biopyte: so does it fail to boot the kernel, or what? [11:17] it finds 2 devices [11:17] i guess [11:17] but not the last one. [11:18] boots perfect on the thinkpad [11:18] biopyte: apples and frickin cinder blocks [11:18] raidghost: try this sudo alsa force-reloaad [11:18] sudo alsa force-reload [11:18] biopyte: sanity check: does a Windows install CD boot OK? [11:18] it might mute the sound see if the problems gets solved with it im not on trouble shooting either [11:18] biopyte: or, a LiveCD (not USB stick)? [11:18] i shouldnt be here [11:19] ectospasm, i dont have windows. its an eepc, no CD drive. [11:19] biopyte: does it have the same behavior no matter what USB port the key is plugged into? [11:20] ectospasm, i tried 2 out of three ports. [11:20] ok, i once more try all ports [11:20] madstein: http://login.kristshell.net/~raidghost/soundcard.txt [11:21] biopyte: wait, you said it doesn't boot, but how can you access tty1? === sebner_ is now known as sebner [11:21] ectospasm, thats the corrupted 10.04 still working somehow. [11:21] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) [11:21] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5700 Series] [11:21] 10.04 was corrupted during the upgrade to 10.10 [11:22] raidghost: have u tryed to reload alsa as i said it might detec the card i had issues with intel chipset before and that was all i ad to do to iniciate the card [11:22] My system autoupdated linux kernel to vmlinuz-2.6.32-26-generic but it doesnt work and just hangs druing bootup. I want to remove this and retain my ..32-22-generic version. How can I do this? [11:22] was a upstart scripts that was unloading the card duno why [11:22] madstein: its using pulseaudio [11:22] so i should try to use alsa instead? [11:22] biopyte: have you run memtest on it? Maybe RAM decided to crap out. I dunno, these are just shots in the dark [11:22] i wil try it [11:23] madstein: where to change from pulseaudio to alsa? [11:23] rabbitea1: IIRC, pulseaudio is built on top of ALSA [11:23] pulse audio uses alsa mate i belive its like that [11:23] i had those issues over an year ago i forgot [11:23] Right now it boots directly to ..32-26-generic version, how can I make it to boot ..32-22-generic by default? [11:24] wqapol: you'd have to change that in grub config [11:24] stil on the panel on the sound icon u can edit some setings and try to use another device if any ther it proly has one ther [11:24] i cant help u ,uch more with it [11:24] im sorry [11:24] ectospasm: But I am on10.04 with grub2. [11:25] wqapol: my suggestion still stands. [11:25] ectospasm: You mean I have to removed the latest version from synaptic? [11:25] ectospasm, how can ectospasm, memtest not installed [11:26] http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2487/capturaecral.png [11:26] ectospasm, thanks anyway [11:26] http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5451/capturaecra1kw.png [11:27] biopyte: memtest used to be included on the LiveCD, do you not even get that boot menu when you boot off the stick? [11:27] ectospasm, yesterday i had a perfect working 10.04 and i wanted to upgrade to 10.10 before taking the box with me on vacation. boy, i"m pi..ed ;-| [11:28] biopyte: you've given us no indication on why the failure occurred. So we don't know who to blame (-; [11:28] ectospasm, no it boots the old system [11:28] biopyte: but it's corrupted [11:28] yes [11:28] lsusb sees the stick [11:29] biopyte: that doesn't matter, if you can't boot from it [11:29] hey everyone, i'm having problems installing the madwifi drivers for my wireless card [11:29] biopyte: seems like the problem is more fundamental than that. [11:29] biopyte: to isolate the problem, try a different distro (or even the alternate CD) [11:30] when i try to make in the downloaded package i get a bunch of errors about "struct net_device" having no member named 'priv' === iflema_ is now known as iflema [11:30] ectospasm, during unpacking the upgrade exited, because of a stupid deja-vu-ttf-font package it couldn"t install. i dont think that helps a lot. [11:30] i was following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode?highlight=((WifiDocs|WirelessAccessPoint))#Atheros (Madwifi) [11:31] biopyte: I'm not trying to resurrect the corrupt system. I'm trying to figure out why you can't boot and install 10.10 [11:31] ectospasm, right ... it must be the usb stick or the distro... is 10.04 boot image still available? [11:31] also, i'm on ubuntu-server 9.10 x86_64 [11:31] biopyte: check a mirror, it should be [11:32] alright [11:32] biopyte: actually, 10.04 is LTS, so it should be available somewhere on ubuntu.com [11:32] downloading it [11:32] already [11:33] In XMPP MultiUserChat (MUC) Server=conference.ubuntu-jabber.de, Room=ubuntu apparently not every participant can "see" every other.

[11:34] Technoviking, still logsout ;) [11:35] bbl [11:36] lastlog -clear [11:39] ectospasm, maybe the problem is solved [11:39] apt-get upgrade on tty1 [11:40] ---> error: run "dpkg -configure -a" [11:40] right now the interrupted install process from yesterday evening continues on tty1 [11:41] however that might still take a lot of time [11:41] boy, i will never do a soft upgrade on a eeepc again. [11:41] always clean install from usb-stick [11:42] lol upgrades always fail =/ [11:43] Euthanatos, my experiences werent that bad so far. only once i had severe problem with some xfree86 upgrade [11:43] I've broken every upgrade since I started with feisty =/ === sean is now known as Guest33138 [11:44] I recovered with this last one and it was some x11 dependancy loop but it was kind of hairy there for a while [11:45] that's not the idea of the system [11:45] Hi, what's the command to check the memory consumption of each process ? [11:46] ectospasm, still setting up packages ... please cross your fingers. [11:46] how install in php xmlrpc by apt-get? [11:47] nada.maddshark.com [11:47] hi, I get an avahi timeout error almost instantly after an atempt to connect to a mac on a local network [11:48] Hi guys, someone can help to explain me how transmit a private key not public by ssh to another machine [11:48] i'm using this line, but is not well formed [11:48] cp paul_key | ssh ubuntu@ec2-79-125-34-209.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com 'home/ubuntu/.ssh/' [11:49] paul_key is the key to transmit by ssh to the other machine and the last folder as you can imagine the place where i want stablish [11:49] osmosis_paul: I usually use scp to copy files to another machine [11:49] so whats the deal with the performance of the nvidia driver that ubuntu uses? [11:49] scp [file] user@ip:path [11:49] what does "svn co" mean? [11:49] code_astronomer, would you be so nice to give some example as i try to do [11:49] compared to the one you download it's pretty slow [11:49] WXZ: checkout [11:50] so it's synonymous with "svn checkout"? [11:50] and im not talking about nouveau im talking about the one included in the restricted drivers [11:50] scp myFile user@localhost:/home/user/ [11:50] dhruvasagar, i prefer htop personally but try using system monitor if you prefer a gui and there's even an applet for gnome panel with a cool little mini-graph [11:50] I'm going to assume yes [11:50] osmosis_paul: scp myFile user@localhost:/home/user/ [11:51] Euthanatos: ok I am trying htop, I am monitoring it on a VPS actually... [11:51] Euthanatos: htop is nice! I was using top...it wasn't that nice :) [11:51] php xmlrpc [11:52] Does anyone know the command to flip my screen into portrait mode? [11:52] since my monitor pivots [11:52] dhruvasagar, htop is really nice because it does so much and gives so much information from an ultralight terminal application =) I consider it indespensable to any level of linux user experience [11:53] how set in directadmin php xmlrpc [11:53] ciao [11:53] lyrae, there is app like that in repos, check ubuntu software center, not sure if its is automagic [11:54] brontosaurusrex, but there is also a command. And i'd like to bind the command to hotkeys [11:54] brontosaurusrex, but if its automatic even better. ill check repo [11:54] lyrae, oh, sorry then [11:54] no no ty [11:55] lyrae: xrandr [11:55] how set in directadmin php xmlrpc [11:55] join #hgl [11:55] velko, thanks === kish_ is now known as kimjongil === Administrator is now known as Guest71584 [11:56] how set in direct-admin php xmlrpc [11:56] hello [11:57] what to do if evolution begins to segfault after an update? [11:57] (right when it starts) [11:58] Hello, I am using ubuntu on Acer 4820 TG. When I installed the graphics card drivers (I have a ti hd 5650), I was told to restart, after restarting ubuntu showed up in terminal mode, I followed some instructions and got back my desktop, BUT then again the driver for ATI was disabled, enabling it would again cause the terminal thing to happen. I also have a onboard intel graphics card. any solutions? [11:58] code_astronomer, thanks but does not works [11:58] code_astronomer, what do you think use cat instead scp??? [11:58] hoi === jeroen is now known as onbekend [12:00] osmosis_paul: what does not work? maybe you just have to specify the port and the user name in the command? or (if the server does not allows password authentication) the identity file. scp works for sure [12:00] Jesus. flash is a mess in linux too === jan-bas is now known as oerkind [12:01] and i don't think thats got anythign to do with ubuntu so sorries about the OT [12:01] velko, i already have a ssh public/private key stablish\ [12:01] now that i try is copy a file into the machine [12:01] Euthanatos: I agree, but I am a little confused...I see multiple processes entries for a particular process [12:02] Euthanatos: but if I do ps -ef | grep process_name, then I see only 1 entry [12:02] osmosis_paul: i already saw that. scp is the easiest way to do this. and it works for sure [12:02] give access denied [12:03] this line "scp paul_key ubuntu@ec2-79-125-55-29.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:home/ubuntu/.ssh/" give me permision denied [12:03] dhruvasagar, use the grepped pid [12:03] show me the ssh command you use for successfull login to the server. and after that - the scp command which fails [12:03] velko, this error "paul_key: Permission denied [12:03] " [12:03] Euthanatos: I don't follow... [12:03] hi. any recommended software to recover data from a fat32 partition? [12:03] osmosis_paul: should be /home/ubuntu/.ssh ... you need full path [12:04] code_astronomer, this is the full path [12:04] Euthanatos: btw multiple entries I see within htop [12:04] you need a leading / [12:04] i want to set up my ubuntu with a /var partition that doesn't change [12:04] that way i can upgrade distros full [12:04] :/home/ubuntu/.ssh/ [12:04] using fstab [12:04] dhruvasagar, you used ps to identify the program's process ID (pid), use the number when executing commands to refer to the program in question [12:04] is this a good idea? [12:04] velko, and the old ssh comman quit simple ssh ubuntu@Machine [12:05] uh.. anyone got a minute? [12:05] tinytim: no [12:05] dhruvasagar, versus the multiple instances you're seeing proliferate htop (though in htop any one of the multiple entries will work) [12:05] code_astronomer, yes you're right i left the slash but even with the slash does not works [12:05] guampa: why? [12:05] tinytim: /var by definition is for storing mutable things === karthik is now known as Guest13827 [12:05] dhruvasagar, i can't explain it but I can tell you that it doesn't matter (effectively)? [12:05] tinytim: like caches, lock files and whatnot === Guest30203 is now known as karthick87 [12:06] Andy: yes. but i don't know the answer to your problem. also - it is better to repost your question after a while and not asking if anybody has time... [12:06] Euthanatos: well my current assumption is that the multiple entries in htop are perhaps multiple threads...not processes..but at the moment I am confused [12:06] guampa: does an update change those? [12:06] In XMPP MultiUserChat (MUC) Server=conference.ubuntu-jabber.de, Room=ubuntu apparently not every participant can "see" every other. What is the reason for that? [12:06] Euthanatos: I am trying to see what's hogging the memory [12:06] Hello, I am using ubuntu on Acer 4820 TG. When I installed the graphics card drivers (I have a ti hd 5650), I was told to restart, after restarting ubuntu showed up in terminal mode, I followed some instructions and got back my desktop, BUT then again the driver for ATI was disabled, enabling it would again cause the terminal thing to happen. I also have a onboard intel graphics card. any solutions? [12:07] So, gentlemen, I've got a problem somewhere between network-manager, my wifi driver, and one specific access point; I can't get a DHCP lease. Who wants to see logs! [12:07] tinytim: package managers often use some /var subfolder for storing their dbs and package cache [12:07] dhruvasagar, yes something like that I think. Someone with a more technical understanding would be able to explain but if a particular program uses say %11 of the memory and has 4 instances it is consuming %11 not %44 [12:07] tinytim: so yes [12:07] guampa: thanks -- point taken [12:07] osmosis_paul: if the machine doesn't allow ssh access, then you're out of luck with scp [12:07] !X11 | Andy [12:07] Andy: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution === karthick87 is now known as Guest27331 [12:10] hi. Is there a way of apt-install squid with build option --disable-internal-dns ? [12:10] marcelo: isn't that configurable in squid.conf or in /etc/default/squid ? [12:11] guampa, yes, there is. [12:11] code_astronomer, i get it "cat /usr/local/transmit_key/paul_key | ssh ubuntu@ec2-79-125-55-29.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com 'cat >> /home/ubuntu/.ssh/test'" thanks!! === Guest27331 is now known as karthick87 [12:13] It's an especially neat trick. Setting a static IP works just peachy keen, but DHCP leases fail. [12:13] guampa, it says # TAG: cache_dns_program (only available )if Squid is rebuilt with the [12:13] # --disable-internal-dns option [12:13] anyone? any tools to recover files from a filesystem? [12:15] Well. Whenever someone has a chance, I'd appreciate any insight in how to fix this. http://scsys.co.uk:8002/57015 [12:16] i installed vsftpd on my machine and deleted the /etc/init.d/vsftpd file by mistake. i tried apt-get autoremove vsftp and then apt-get vsftpd to get it back but it doesnt. how do i get that back ? [12:16] 3 [12:16] 1 [12:16] oops [12:17] marcelo: gotcha. nice surprise i tought i had squid asking bind for lookups :( [12:18] baba_b00ie: dpkg-reconfigure vsftpd might do it, or you have to apt-get purge it, then apt-get install it again. [12:18] logged in on tty1, how can i kill the X session? [12:18] biopyte: sudo service gdm stop [12:18] thx [12:19] marcelo: so it's aptgetting squid source and recompiling then [12:19] i'm creating a bash script, someone know how to get the name of a Amazon machine? [12:19] thanks maedox, i'll try that now [12:19] hey, is there a way to fresh boot? i think during shutdown, something happened... and i can't boot anymore [12:20] maedox, how should i restart X, avoiding the gdm login ... startx? [12:20] my evolution began to segfault when it start after an upgrade, how can i trace the problem? [12:20] grub used to countdown.. but now it does not. and when I press enter, it says it can't find /dev and other stuff. [12:20] hm i installed openssh in cygwin yet it says command not found if i type ssh ? [12:21] x404x: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [12:21] sorry guampa, i never did that. Only a matter of grabbing the source with apt-get and then compiling it with all the prior options + --disable-internal-dns? (./configure && make && make install) ? [12:21] hm guess not sorry ;( its a bit linux related tho.. [12:22] x404x: it's nothing to do with linux nor ubuntu, we only support Ubuntu here [12:22] biopyte: avoiding gdm as in using another login manager? Not sure, but I think you have to change the default login manager. [12:26] thanks maedox, i did a purge and no luck. still no vsftpd in the /etc/init.d directorhy [12:27] 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' if you have kdm/xdm/other dm's installed will let you select tghe one to use. [12:27] any thoughts on this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/680568 [12:27] i am being told not to use ubuntu for a server, that debian is more efficient -- is this true? [12:27] i am used to ubuntu -- not sure if debian is going to force me to learn new stuff i don't care about [12:28] tinytim: define "efficient" please [12:28] but if it is cli, does it matter? [12:28] elFidel: better use of resources (hardware) [12:28] tinytim: Ubuntu/Debian, doesn't matter. [12:28] Debian's default install is smaller. That's true for the desktop too. [12:28] elFidel: or a faster response of the server [12:28] i am searching for free ubuntu / linux ebooks; any advice where to find something like that? [12:28] tinytim: in case of server installs i dont see a big diff to be honest [12:28] zakwilson: i don't care about disk size [12:28] You can get almost exactly the same results by installing more stuff on Debian or removing stuff from Ubuntu. [12:29] zakwilson: the question is do i need to remove stuff from Ubuntu [12:29] hello i am following a tutorial "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo" but i am stuck on the step where it say run the following command ./configure coz when i run it nothing happen.. some help? [12:29] ectospasm, maedox finally i got that stupid box running ... i believe it was a trivial problem ... the system ran out disk space .... no error message, nothing ... i've been troubleshooting for hours and its only the box ran out of disk space. [12:29] biopyte: jikes [12:29] zakwilson: elFidel, i am going to stick with ubuntu, i have enough to worry about [12:29] Hello, can someone look into this please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1629799 [12:29] Ubuntu may have more stuff that runs in the background loading at startup. If it's stuff you're going to be using anyway, that's no problem. If not, it will use a little bit more memory than the default Debian install. [12:30] tinytim: i think debian and ubuntu share a lot of thing [12:30] ectospasm: what is "jikes"? [12:30] More stuff also means more surface area for security vulnerabilities. You should uninstall or disable services you're not using. [12:30] zakwilson: so i should look into what processes i should kill -- things like updatedb, etc [12:30] biopyte: it's how I spell "yikes" [12:31] and whats that? [12:31] zakwilson: agreed -- so it is not an os question -- but a configuration question [12:31] marcelo: me either. i guess something like that, yes [12:31] biopyte: it's a meaningless exclamation. Like "woah!" [12:31] Debian and Ubuntu are essentially the same OS, configured differently. [12:31] i installed vsftpd on my machine and deleted the /etc/init.d/vsftpd file by mistake. i tried apt-get autoremove vsftp and then apt-get vsftpd to get it back but it doesnt. how do i get that back ? [12:31] i see [12:31] biopyte: or "ouch" which is closer to "jikes" [12:31] ectospasm, now i will try the boot from usb ... just for fun. [12:32] biopyte: good luck! [12:32] baba_b00ie: purge firts, then reinstall it [12:32] wait, first i will update ... [12:32] yay i got it.. i did another purge and the powers that be said let there be light. and then vsftpd reappeared =) [12:33] najwa__ second try running the apt-get purge worked. [12:33] You should not disable services by killing processes. Either uninstall them, or remove the link to the startup script from the appropriate /etc/rcx.d [12:33] Doesn't killing processes only temporarily disable the service anyway? [12:35] Yes [12:35] which package contains the xorg kbd driver [12:35] I cant find it [12:36] zakwilson, isn't there something like chkconfig in Debian to deal with the scripts in /et/rcx.d? [12:36] There is chkconfig [12:38] KL2FL === Onryo_ is now known as HCN [12:39] how do I mount in ubuntu 10.04 a device that doesnt have a uuid ? [12:39] zakwilson, on a default installation? I use it on CentOS at work, never on my dekstop. Only checked now and it's not installed [12:39] How can i make Xsane primary scanning program for my HP scanner? [12:39] carandraug: no. There's apt-get for that. [12:40] In Ubuntu, it should be usable without needing to set it as default. [12:41] zakwilson, yeah, I saw it now thanks. I just thought it would be part of the default system and when I didn't saw it, I thought it maybe had some other name on Debian. Thanks [12:41] anyone can tell me how i can make Xsane primary scanning program through HPLIP? [12:42] anyone can tell why i cant get into a directory that exist but when i run cd /directory it say No such file or directory [12:42] anyone knows about i2p, what is that? i only heard about p2p [12:43] smokystone: wiki explains the basics pretty good. [12:43] doriangrey: is the directory executable? [12:43] smokystone, 12p is anonymous network I believe let me check [12:43] smokystone, http://www.i2p2.de/ [12:43] ok, i am lazy to check wiki, better have a look [12:44] ectospasm, what do u mean? [12:44] how to edit grub [12:44] smokystone: if you are too lazy to read wiki you should most likely NOT ask in irc ;) [12:44] ectospasm, its an folder [12:44] i'm looking to take off memtest [12:44] anyone can tell me how i can make Xsane primary scanning program through HPLIP? [12:44] john, sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [12:44] doriangrey: Is the directory at the root? If not, then provide the full path. [12:44] doriangrey: check the permissions of the directory [12:45] john, there is a line in that file that you take out the # to not show memtest in grub menu [12:45] ectospasm, how to ceck the permission?

Not really bothered about it now as a) don't think its in repos yet and b) GNASH does what I need just fine [14:29] dan: search the file system using a search tool, you may find them [14:30] danboid: if it ain't broke. Could always ditch gnash and use minitube as an alternative too. Lots of choice :) [14:30] so is it not recommended to upgrade to 5.3.3 [14:31] dan, that should not break anything??!?

Also, it was a bit of a complicated situation: I had ~/Music which was a symbolic link to /media/System/Music (on an NTFS partition), then I did cd ~/Music, mv Music (i.e. a "Music" folder at /media/System/Music/Music) ../nonexistingfolder. Now neither Music/Music nor nonexistingfolder exist... [14:31] nibbler__, unfortunately it appears it did, since I'm missing both folders D: [14:32] hi , i m using 10.04 wana update to 10.10 but my updater not showing that help me [14:32] xatcon, I think you have to do all updates first if you haven't done so already?

[14:34] dan: may have to reach for your backups [14:34] ActionParsnip, unfortunately I had none of my Music folder, due to lack of hard drive space :( [14:34] dan: a 500Gb HDD costs very little, a lot less than you value your data [14:34] ActionParsnip, honestly can't believe such a simple move command can get rid of gigs of data though :( [14:35] mongo: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open.... error [14:35] ActionParsnip, very true, and I was about to buy one today, too... *sigh* [14:35] dan: What I'd do then is d/l and burn systemrescuecd on another machine then boot it on the one with the missing files then run photorec or testdisk to try recover them [14:35] hy [14:36] dan: you may be able to use foremost to restore data if you dont find them [14:36] \join #hvergelmir [14:36] for grub is there a way to tell it not to have a countdown? I tried doing the old command countdown = 0 but that tells it now to just go by the menu [14:36] i wanna copy one machine's usernames to another ... which files should i copy? [14:36] dan: I've recovered deleted files off both ext4 and FAT partitions with photorec that way [14:36] *usernames + passwords [14:37] danboid, does it matter that the files were on an NTFS partition, and I think I tried moving them to my linux partition (I assume it's ext4? I'm very new to linux) [14:37] dan: It will do NTFS too but YMMV [14:37] danboid, /etc/shadow. /etc/passwd [14:38] danboid, it's still hopeful, thanks heaps for the help :) [14:38] reenignEesreveR, that is [14:38] how i can get wine aplication for ubuntu 9.04 please [14:38] it's not the end of the world, only a small 2500 song music collection, but quite sad if I lose it :( [14:38] dan: np, good luck. I must warn you that although it may recover you files, you will prob have to rename them [14:39] virfrojan: you'll need to either compile or find a jaunty ppa. Jaunty isn't supported any more [14:39] dan, its still strange to me, must be somewhere, a mv should not be able to delete anything, as long as you dont involve /dev/null or such :) [14:39] nibbler__, precisely what I thought, but neither folder exists (seeing as I moved it to a non existent one) :/ [14:39] dan: and you need to restore to a drive/ partition other than the one you think they've been deleted off [14:39] dan: how are things in /media/System/nonexistantfolder [14:40] st__ , what about /etc/group ? [14:40] nibbler__, that is a good question, I will remount partition and check [14:40] st__, where is it mentioned that which particular user is a sudoer? [14:41] what is jaunty ppa? [14:41] reenignEesreveR, he'd be a member of the sudoers group? [14:41] reenignEesreveR, groups i believe [14:41] nibbler__, which file contains information about grousp? [14:41] sorry i am a newbie [14:41] virfrojan, a ppa is a personal packet archive, that is people providing extra packages. if you trust them, you can user their packages, but its all about trust (to strangers) [14:41] reenignEesreveR, /etc/group [14:42] reenignEesreveR, or some gui-tool in the system menu [14:42] this seems to have scrweed up a bit for me [14:42] a particular user in the system who was sudoer is no more a sudoer [14:42] reenignEesreveR, just add him in admin group [14:42] and please answer my question :) [14:43] unfortuantely i've lost admin access now :D [14:43] forutnately it was a VM i was tinkering with, i can revert to a previous snapshot [14:43] reenignEesreveR, reboot in single user mode [14:43] nibbler__, I fucking love you [14:44] but i'd still like to know if i can easily copy all users + their psswords and groups info from another machine to my machine safely [14:44] is there any "documented" method? [14:44] yeah but how to download and install the wine?? [14:44] thanks before for the answer [14:44] reenignEesreveR, just cp /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow - and thing about their IDs [14:44] dan: welcome ;-) [14:44] nibbler__, turns out it didn't end up moving to where I wanted it to at all, but since it was a symbolic link it moved to the parent on /media/System [14:44] virfrojan: sudo apt-get install wine [14:44] nibbler__, that didn't work for me the last time [14:45] virfrojan, visit winehq.org and check for binaries or repo for your version [14:45] nibbler__, what about their IDs? [14:45] dan: i had to think about it aswell, did not really know how this symbolic link stuff is handled my mv etc [14:45] ActionParsnip, danboid, thanks for your help as well :D [14:45] reenignEesreveR, unlike windows all users have same ids [14:45] nibbler__, yeah, man what a relief, thanks so much :) [14:46] reenignEesreveR: usually the acoount information is related to the /etc/passwd* /etc/shadow* /etc/group* /etc/sudoers . as far as i know [14:46] reenignEesreveR, you should use diff tool to merge them, not just copy over [14:46] reenignEesreveR, well, if you have a user ben as only user on machine A and a tom on B, they most likely have the same id (1000 that is) - files belong to user-ids, not to usernames. so if you copy shadow/passwd you'll change the owner name of files and dirs that belong to user 1000 [14:46] ActionParsnip, and now time to buy me an external :P [14:47] reenignEesreveR: and if you want the passwords kept the same, you need to make sure the encrytion is the same on the two systems [14:47] the case is, i wanna make a replica of the two machines ... without doing a low level disk replica [14:48] dan: yep, its all about backups... my default answer when customers, friend, whatever or the like ask me how to recover after a misdelete, crash whatever: "copy the date from you backup" - if you dont have a backup just expect your data to be gone sooner or later [14:48] so i installed the same OS (ubuntu 8.04) from scratch [14:48] and installed the same packages. Now I wanna setup same users + groups as well ... could it be posssible to just copy over the files or use some tool for this? [14:48] nibbler__, :D I'll have to go buy that 1.5TB drive I was eyeing today after all then, thanks again!

So, a.file on remote machine is changed and there is content inside (text file). wget -n seems to download the file and overwrite existing (as expected). But, for some reason, once a.file is overwritten, when I open, file is empty, in other words, no text is present inside the file. [14:58] Can someone just give me a hint what could cause such a behaviour? [14:58] I also tried wget -q /remote/path/to/the/file -O /local/path/to/the/file [14:58] I don't care if it is downloaded every time and overwritten, just want to be sure that local and remote files are always the same [14:58] dr0id: gksuudo dolphin [14:59] gksudo* [14:59] thanks [14:59] oh nevermind, i thought it was a global setting.

[15:31] ActionParsnip: I need a special version though [15:31] Does anyone know of a program or website that will translate language files? [15:31] ActionParsnip: Here is where I downloaded it: http://eclipsesource.com/en/downloads/eclipse-galileo-download/ [15:31] tck9: Hardy is still supported, so it is still getting patched. If you need it early, then look at enabling the hardy-proposed section. [15:32] 32b 3.5.2 version [15:32] NeoKipling: take one of the other .conf files in there as an example perhaps. [15:32] tck9: That update should have come through on Oct 22. [15:32] ActionParsnip: it did not solve the problem [15:32] Dr_Willis: you're luck, eclipse is a piece of shit [15:32] lazukars: Please mind your language here [15:33] sorry [15:33] lazukars: why use the archive when it's already in the repos? === brad` is now known as brad [15:33] Dr_Willis, I do tye this, the other work well ,but tor didn't work. [15:33] tck9: See the changelogs for 2.7-10ubuntu7 here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc [15:33] ActionParsnip: I need 3.5.2. The repo is version 3.6.1 or something like that [15:34] dajhorn: are there any docs for updating glibc with hardy-proposed? since glibc is really critical and can break the system if not done properly, i'm trying to be really careful with this [15:34] NeoKipling: you could just start from /etc/rc.local I havent played with tor in ages. There used to be a wiki page on setting it up in ubuntu [15:34] First, do you mean the AVX bug? LP #662511 [15:34] lazukars: i see, then read the README file, it will tell you how to install it [15:34] tck9: Do you mean the AVX bug? LP #662511 It might not apply to the older glibc. [15:35] ActionParsnip: hitting myself in the head [15:35] http://freshmeat.net/articles/ubuntu-new-gnu-c-library-packages-fix-security-vulnerability [15:35] that's the one i'm talking about [15:35] i tested it out and it's vulnerable [15:36] Thanks Dr_Willis, yes, I know. I just think test upstart [15:36] tck9: And did you file a bug or anything? [15:36] tck9: Double-check that you have hardy-security enabled. [15:36] dajhorn: how do i check that? [15:37] tck9: Look at your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Or run something like `apt-cache policy glibc`. [15:37] Hello guys. What is the best driver for Ati at this moment? I`m having huge issues with both the closed and OS one .. [15:38] ActionParsnip: ahh, my wireless has decided to stop working, so im kinda sol atm. ill try for a bit longer and then i may have to abandon this. thanks tho. i type the above in terminal, ya? [15:38] sisif, you may try fglrx [15:38] How do i get rid of these update-lines: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13201453/Skjermdump.png Latest drivers nvidia 260.19.21 for gtx 285m card [15:39] buckerss: yes, its a terminal command, if its good you can make a script or alias [15:39] "unable to locate policy glibc" [15:39] isn't it called libc6? [15:39] ottar: tried a different refresh rate? [15:39] libc6: Installed: 2.7-10ubuntu6 Candidate: 2.7-10ubuntu7 [15:39] jitu, I did. both the one that comes with the distro and the one on AMD / Ati website/support [15:39] Neither seem to worl [15:39] ottar: searched for bugs to see if its a known issue? [15:40] ottar: searched for xorg.conf examples? [15:40] glxgears hangs core i5 GPU(arrandale), is this a known issue? [15:40] sisif, do you have a old card [15:40] jitu, XT2400 === illusionz is now known as impreziv [15:40] different refresh rate didn nothing [15:40] searched google, but not quite sure what this phenomenon is called [15:40] will search for xorg.conf [15:41] sisif, do ati provide support for it, check their website [15:41] jitu, that is HD 2400 XT. So .. which driver do you think is better for it ? [15:41] is there a disk repair util on ubuntu live cd? [15:41] tck9: That version is current in hardy-updates and blurbed in the vulnerability email, so it seems that you're updated. [15:41] jitu, they say they do .. [15:41] i think i'm still on 2.7-10ubuntu6 though [15:41] apt-cache poliy libc6 shows Installed: 2.7-10ubuntu6 Candidate: 2.7-10ubuntu7 [15:41] sisif, then, fglrx probably better [15:41] tck9: Right. Sorry. You need to do an apt-get upgrade. [15:42] tck9: APT is telling you that you have the unpatched version installed. [15:42] so just apt-get upgrade libc6 ? [15:42] jitu, that`s what I`m using now. But the system is crashing all the time, the display switches off, etc. Overall I have LOS of issues with it [15:43] tck9: Just `apt-get upgrade` unless you have a reason not to do a fully security upgrade. [15:43] i don't want to upgrade everything at once.. would just rather do glibc for now .. [15:43] Where is the anonymous directory for vsftpd in Ubuntu? [15:43] tck9: sudo apt-get -y upgrade will do it [15:43] Is there any other poor chinese guy using tor? [15:43] does apt-get have a pretend flag? so that i can see what it's going to upgrade [15:43] ActionParsnip, i think the problem is with powermizer,it shows that the gpu is running at minimum levels [15:44] sisif, have you tried nomodeset [15:44] tck9: I don't think that upgrade will take a package name. Try `apt-get install libc6`. [15:44] text in my webpage looks very small. is it due to graphic card problem [15:44] tck9: You'll be given an opportunity to refuse if more packages will be installed. [15:44] hello everybody [15:45] ok [15:45] Let's say I downloaded a piece of software. Firefox will store it into the folder "Downloads". If I want to install it. I do have to unpack it and to run sth. like "make pieceofsoftware." Will ubuntu copy the software to somewhere else and I can delete afterwards the installationfiles or does it only configure the downloaded and unpacked fiels? [15:45] jitu, no, I have not. What is that ? === _Dave2_ is now known as Dave2 [15:46] anyone? [15:46] does ubuntu contain a scandisk esq program [15:46] yes [15:46] there are kinda 2 seperate things you can do [15:46] you chose vs or qt [15:46] fsck checks filesystems [15:47] does anyone here has experience setup networking under qemu [15:47] ?? [15:47] sisif, when you boot provide the nomodeset arg in grub [15:47] and then there are also ways (unrelated to fsck) to scan for bad sectors (i.e. places on the hard disk that are going bad) [15:47] Aufwind: what do you mean ??? [15:47] The webpages look very small, is it due to the problem of graphic card [15:47] ottar: that'll do it, you can remove / add the option in xorg.conf to disable that [15:47] jitu, and this is something I have to edit in xorg,conf or in grub ? [15:48] epictetus ok thanks [15:48] sisif, first try in grub [15:48] does anyone here has experience setup networking under qemu ? [15:48] sisif, dont edit any file before being sure [15:48] blackshirt: I wanted to know if I do have to copy a program before running "make" to its destination folder or if ubuntu does that for me? [15:49] sisif, just type it manually in grub [15:49] ActionParsnip: ah cool. okay, it gives me a preload ignored error but starts up skype anyways. still no audio. in the options i can see my web cam works when i test it though [15:49] jitu, I see. Thank you for the advice [15:49] Aufwind: are you mean .deb packages or something else ? [15:50] blackshirt: I downloaded pdftohtml and wanted to install it. It is a tar.gz file so I first unpacked it. The readme says I shall enter make in the terminal to install it. [15:51] Aufwind: yes, usually unpack it, compile it, and install it [15:52] Aufwind: That binary is in the poppler-utils package. [15:53] Aufwind: If you still need to compile from source, you should consider using checkinstall in place of your make install command so that it is easy to remove later if needed. [15:53] !checkinstall > Aufwind [15:53] Aufwind, please see my private message [15:53] I am following the steps on the sound troubleshooting site, and when I enter: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh I do not receive the link that the support page describes. [15:53] ActionParsnip, powermizer wasnt the problem after all, got the card going max performance [15:53] strange issue... [15:53] ottar: sweet move dude :) [15:54] does anyone know how to get canon pixma printers to work in ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (specifically canon mp630) [15:54] ActionParsnip, yeah, but i still get the lines :( [15:54] Pici: Thank you, I'll have a look at it immediatly [15:54] ottar: try a different driver [15:54] oes anyone here has experience setup networking under qemu ?

[16:48] abhijeet: You can right click them and choose "eject" or "safely remove", but that only lasts for one session. === user_ is now known as megamik === megamik is now known as megamik_ [16:48] #NICK megamik_ [16:49] As`saLamuaLaikum WarahmatuLLah Hiwabarakatuh ~~:) [16:49] As`saLamuaLaikum WarahmatuLLah Hiwabarakatuh ~~:) [16:49] hmm [16:49] wut oO === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [16:50] ok, so im trying to install flash, and I need to use the command line to do some stuff and the directory that I need to create is within /opt/google/chrome ..... the problem is that directory doesnt show up when i do an 'ls' on /opt, but the directory is most definitely there as I can navigate to it through nautilus [16:50] dajhorn, i do't want to eject them.. see my problem is like this: I have one drive called "others".. One icon is showing it is mounted ( this is due to automount) and another icon with same drive is showing unmounted.. if click the second drive button it is showing "Drive is already mounted". [16:50] i also cannot just cd into that directory [16:50] !pastebinit [16:50] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:50] that's just weird [16:50] I'm working on my parent's machine which is a Dell that came factory installed with Hardy LTS, a while back they upgraded to Lucid LTS. anyway, among things that no longer work is the gphotofs setup i had for their camera. essentially i created a mount and unmount button which mounted the camera so that they could transfer images. However this no longer works with lucid, and i'm at a loss as to why. [16:51] abhijeet: Is the device showing up twice encrypted? [16:51] dajhorn, no it is not encrypted.. [16:51] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/535960/ === megamik_ is now known as megamik [16:52] dajhorn, i just want to remove the second icon with same name from the nautilus [16:52] gnat_x, I found shotwell is easier than direct gphoto2, but only available since 10.10, iirc [16:52] hi [16:52] dajhorn, do u want a screen shot [16:52] I need your help [16:52] I trying to get root in X [16:52] is that possible in ubuntu? [16:52] Morcegolas: why ? [16:52] abhijeet: You can permanently hide devices in Nautilus by creating a HAL file that has the volume.ignore property. This is somewhat difficult to get right. Do a web search for more information. [16:52] battlehands: i'm no good with sound issues, maybe someone here can contribute [16:52] gnat_x: check dmesg as you plug in the camera. perhaps you need to turn camera on [16:53] Morcegolas, gksu, or run X as root? [16:53] because i have teamspeak server installed in /opt/ts3 and everytime i need to update my teamspeak i need to do it in terminal and its more difficult [16:53] ok [16:53] dli: gnat_x http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/install-shotwell-0591-in-ubuntu-1004.html [16:53] abhijeet: Don't DCC things to people in this channel. Use pastebin or imagebin instead. [16:54] I need help locating the driver version of my sound setup... [16:54] dajhorn, ok [16:54] deww: tried that. its on. i'm getting this error when i try to look at the mounted dir: Av. Yaxchilan 41 SM 22 [16:54] hello there is there any way to add modules to kernel without recompiling the whole kernel? [16:54] woo [16:54] woops wrong paste [16:54] deww: tried that. its on. i'm getting this error when i try to look at the mounted dir: fuse: bad mount point `Pictures/Camera': Transport endpoint is not connected [16:54] alexandrosorodio: sure, compile the module, drop it in to the module tree, and depmod it [16:54] alexandrosorodio: put it in the initrd or load them with grub2 [16:54] morcegolas its possible but unreccomended.. use gksu [16:55] alexandrosorodio, if it supports dkms it should be very easy [16:55] alexandrosorodio: Which module do you need? Try to use a DKMS package if one is available. [16:55] gnat_x: what's your mount command look like that you setup for your parents? [16:55] anyone used comodo certificates with ubuntu/thunderbird? when I click the damn verify link it just says the cert is 'installed in my certificate store'. [16:55] dajhorn, http://imagebin.org/124696 .. check on the places [16:56] on maverick, shell-fm now gives me 'Assertion 'p' failed at pulse/simple.c:384, function pa_simple_drain(). Aborting' [16:56] dajhorn, same drive is shown twice.. [16:56] how can I download .deb files for another architecture than the one of my pc? (Want 32-bit) [16:56] s3r3n1t7 i need to do cp /home/morcegolas/Desktop/* / opt/ts3. But its easier to drag and drop the folders... [16:56] deww: /usr/bin/gphotofs /home/family/Pictures/Camera [16:57] to tell you the exact thing i did i compiled and installed the new wireless drivers but after that i have to enable some other modules from the kernel like mac80211 and some other for the new modules to work so how do i do that? [16:57] saulus, better to set up a 32bit chroot for that [16:57] saulus, do u want to use it in vm? [16:57] weird the error just changed. ls: reading directory Pictures/Camera/: Protocol error [16:57] gnat_x: so i am guessing it is not automounting your camera to /home/family/Pictures/Camera, did you try manually mounting it? (don't know how to fix automagic mounting) [16:57] Wow. wine msiexec /i worked perfectly. [16:58] any sound gurus here? [16:58] saulus: packages.ubuntu.com yuo will need ia32-libs to make them install. Easier is to use a chroot [16:58] deww: yeah, when i run it manually it outputs the second error. [16:58] dli: how can I do this? [16:58] have some way to put an iso file content as resository inside source.list? [16:58] saulus: why do you want to do this exactly? [16:58] jitu: I just need some packages for another computer that does not have internet [16:59] jrib: see above [16:59] crimeboy: Not directly. You must mount the ISO file on loopback. [16:59] saluas, there is a s/w out there for that [16:59] saulus: I did. Why do you want to install a 32bit deb? [16:59] jussukka: s/w? [16:59] can't anybody tell me how can i drag folders as root in X [16:59] dajhorn: already mounted [16:59] jrib: I just need some packages for another computer that does not have internet [16:59] abhijeet, I am not seeing duplicate disks... which ones are duplicating?

Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [17:00] saulus, there is a s/w out there for that [17:00] saulus: also, you can just use packages.ubuntu.com [17:00] sorry jussukka, didnt mean you [17:00] Morcegolas: drag them where? Why? [17:00] hey, my NAS recently died. i just plugged it into my ubuntu but it cant read or mount the hd. [17:00] dajhorn: is mounted yet [17:00] crimeboy: use apt-cdrom then? [17:00] saulus, I dont remeber the name but you can google for it [17:01] ferret_, check one "Others" is mounted while other one is blow without mount... [17:01] gnat_x: i mean... did you try rebooting? it looks like a fuse error somewhere. not too familiar with those. i say poke in /var/log for details. [17:01] saulus, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot [17:01] crimeboy: Depending on the ISO, you can use a regular deb line or a cdrom line. More information in `man sources.list` and `man apt-cdrom`. [17:01] deww: good call, will do [17:01] dajhorn: ok tks [17:01] I'm on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 and seeing "mountall: mounted-tmp main process (446) terminated with status 127" on boot.

[17:02] hello i want to make a torrent of a folder containing many files, so i can ftp it to someone else to seed - when i try to do it with transmission, it asks for a tracker but i dont want to seed the thing myself - how can i do this? [17:02] Anarchy7: ##c [17:03] jrib I asked there but the answer wasnt sufficient [17:03] Anarchy7: An easy way is to import curses and use the getkey() function. [17:03] Are there any ubuntu walkthroughs for that? [17:03] Anarchy7: it's not an ubuntu question, ##c is the right place for C questions, not #ubuntu [17:03] what about conio.h [17:03] thanks dli jitu ActionParsnip, probably the most easy way is to use packages.ubuntu.com [17:03] abhijeet, I would bet that you edited fstab and had some trouble.... and tried again but then when you rebooted there were two of each.... edit fstab and remove the duplicate drives [17:04] ferret_, check this new screen shot: http://imagebin.org/124700 [17:04] saulus, that may lead you to broken dependency [17:04] ferret_, let me check it [17:05] X00rt1: You can't. Torrents need a tracker, and somebody needs to seed it before it appears in alternatives like the DHT. [17:05] jrib drag folder from desktop to /opt/ts3 [17:05] dajhorn OK thanks. [17:05] X00rt1: Welcome. [17:05] jrib this is my teamspeak server, but everytime i want to update it i have to do it by terminal...

[17:05] i would remove the "Others" drive from fstab [17:05] ferret_, ok.. but internally they are pointing to the same drive [17:05] ferret_, i have checked the fstatb there is only one entry [17:05] yes they would because they are mounting the same drive [17:06] abhijeet.... my name is "ferris_" not ferret_ [17:06] What does compiz --replace and metacity --replace do? [17:06] lol [17:06] ferris_, ok... [17:06] beefcakes: change your window manager [17:06] jrib Thanks [17:07] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and my work place windows are gone any help please?

[17:19] ActionParsnip thanks too [17:19] PeterOyore: it sounds like your panel gor borked. you might want to add Window list as well (then minimize will work) [17:19] krunal: neither did i, until i started using 6. ;P [17:20] gnat_x Ok window list [17:20] gnat_x, im still new at this..how do i setup 6 desktops? [17:21] hi, i have a problem with ubuntuone-client. In case of trieng to use /usr/bin/python (which is Python3 on me) it fails to load. How can i set python path to /usr/bin/python2 while compile time? [17:21] quick question. I have a folder filled with files. I wanr to tar all of the files. however I want to tar the files seperatly. So I get a tar file for each file that was in the folder. What is the commends? I assume it has something to do with find? [17:22] Hey guys, I have a problem. Starting up ubuntu after installing new nvidia drivers is making my screen flash, and it wont start up x it seems. I cant read the text because of the flash and blur, but it seems like the booter is fine ect. What can I do? I tried booting failsafe as well, same result [17:22] gnat_x Borked indeed That worked just fine can see all. now .thanks a BUNCH! [17:23] Cleaver: did you installed the nVidia Driver by hand or did you used the official package from the repository [17:23] I just installed and activated the one suggested by default [17:23] Cleaver: try to use the nvidia-173 one [17:23] hello all .. any pptp server specialists out there ? [17:23] Hmm [17:24] I dont know how to change it, since I cant really see anything except for screen flashing when trying to boot [17:24] hey [17:24] how do i put files to the server via terminal ssh?

What is the IP address of the server for samba shares ? [17:25] quick question. I have a folder filled with files. I wanr to tar all of the files. however I want to tar the files seperatly. So I get a tar file for each file that was in the folder. What is the commends? I assume it has something to do with find? [17:25] llutz: do that after im already connected to the server? [17:26] no [17:26] rotham: nope not from inside your session [17:26] ahh ok [17:26] cool [17:26] rotham - are you using ubuntu as your local os? [17:26] yes [17:26] johnoP: yes [17:26] rotham - open a terminal and use llutz stuff [17:27] someone can help me with drbd ? [17:27] Is it possible to set parameters for a kernel module which ubuntu loads on startup? [17:27] Vamp898: nothing happens when i press ctrl + alt + f1 [17:27] xow - what do you need to know [17:27] JimmyPage2006: Try the same address as would work on the local network. The address of the PPP session should also work if Samba is listening on all interfaces. [17:27] xow - ? [17:27] screen is flashing white, i see some lines marked with black, i suppose its text, but it's blackned out, so you cant read it [17:27] its very strange [17:27] never seen anything like it [17:27] :D [17:28] I have a folder filled with files. I wanr to tar all of the files. however I want to tar the files seperatly. So I get a tar file for each file that was in the folder. What is the commends? I assume it has something to do with find? [17:28] JohnoP i am installing but sometimes dont work [17:28] dajhorn - tried that, but PING doesn't work (nor does samba) [17:28] and show's erros everytimes [17:28] Cleaver: try CTRL + ALT + F2, if it still doesnt work insert the Ubuntu CD, open a Terminal, Mount the partition (mkdir bla && sudo mount /dev/sda1 ./bla) and then do a chroot into it (sudo chroot ./bla bash). After you´re inside the chroot you can do "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" [17:28] JohnoP: create a test folder to play with first, i'll be something like: find /path/to/folder -type f "*" -exec tar czvf "{}.tar.gz" {} \; i'd ask in #bash to make sure [17:28] I would like to change the sound of an error -- Ubuntu 10.04 - it makes a thump and I dont like it [17:28] exit [17:28] xow - define sometimes don't work? Your have two virtaul mounts and your writing to both of them? Or sometimes it does not see one? [17:28] JimmyPage2006: Do you have any firewalling rules? Is ufw installed and running? [17:28] after i did ctrl + alt + f2, the flashing stopped, but the screen is still unreadable [17:29] again, i have a problem with ubuntuone-client.

[17:29] Actionparsnip - love you loads. thasnks [17:29] Thanks for the help [17:29] I just installed a new hard drive, and writing files takes a very long time. It is mounted on /home, and writing 10M bytes to /home/foo takes over 2 minutes. Writing 10M bytes to my other drive mounted at / takes under 2 seconds. However, if I boot from the Ubuntu live CD, the write is about 2 seconds for both drives. I'm not sure where to look for the cause of the trouble. [17:29] dajhorn - I use firestarter - I can connecto to VPN from Vista client and get assigned local IP as per config [17:29] restate: where do I get more sounds to pick one for say, the error sound. Ubuntu 10.04 is my distro [17:29] JohnoP i've instaled, i configure and sometimes when i try reply show's erros, type, on the secondary, i set him to secondary and dont go, it stay in unknow [17:30] hey guys im trying to forward x11 from another remote box. I use things vnc, and nx but they connect me to the x desktop. All I want to do is run emacs through the terminal via some program. Can you guys recommend to me what I should do? [17:30] WooHoo it working great now! Gotta love Ubuntu and #ubuntu IRC [17:31] JimmyPage2006: Firewall rules must be recomputed each time a PPTP session goes up or down. I know that UFW doesn't do this properly, and my guess is that Firestarter doesn't either. Disable the firewall and try again. === Nick is now known as Guest37759 [17:32] JimmyPage2006: On the Vista side, right click the connection icon and go into the session properties. You should be able to ping the server address that it shows you. [17:32] xow - pass me the error. can I assume you mean that when the system writes the same file to both server. The secondary node shows a currupted version of the file? [17:32] sbaker48: sounds like it may be the 'dma' settings.. but ive not seen those issues in years.. not even sure how to set/check them any more. [17:33] JohnoP can i pvt with u ? [17:33] dajhorn - disabling firewall works [17:34] Hello [17:34] JimmyPage2006: Okay, you have some reading to do. At a minimum, you must configure Firestarter to allow interface routing (forwarding) *or* ARP on behalf of the PPTP clients. [17:35] dajhorn - hmm I found some firewall rules I put in the firestarter user-pre file which I needed to get as far as the connection to connect [17:35] hi there [17:36] dajhorn - I also modified sysctrl.conf to allow ipv4 forwarding [17:36] I need a bit of help, please [17:36] JimmyPage2006: The sysctrl isn't enough. You also need to add iptables rules to let the PPTP server act like a router. [17:36] I have an ASUS 1005ha dual boot with WinXP and Ubuntu 10.10 [17:36] andy__ use "ssh -X and then start emacs on the remote machine === XLV_ is now known as XLV [17:37] I am getting error:no such partition grub rescue> [17:37] It will not boot with either Win disk or Ubuntu disk [17:38] dajhorn - thanks - will google further. At least I have isolated the cause [17:38] JimmyPage2006: Welcome. [17:39] hey hen42 i do use ssh -X it is soooo slow [17:39] the latency is horrible [17:40] andy__: what apps are you forwarding? [17:40] emacs is one, another is qt apps [17:40] andy__ me is using x2go and ssh (-X), so i do not have any more ideas, sorry [17:41] oh so if i get x2go i can just ssh -X? [17:41] and it will do the forwarding for me? [17:41] andy__: http://www.miscdebris.net/blog/2007/06/01/speed-up-ssh-x11-forwarding/ [17:42] andy__ x2go is using the same compression methods as nx and is similar to nx, so i do not expect that it will be faster [17:42] hey parsnip, i sped it up like that tutorial said but I still get lag in emacs [17:42] why does apt-get upgrade libc6 want to upgrade other packages like openssl, mysql, linux-image, libxml, etc .. why can't it just upgrade glibc? [17:43] ben42, yea i heard that as well. NX is pretty fast, but I dont think you can just open up one app on it. it forwards the entire desktop to me [17:43] hi [17:43] ben42, x2go can forward one app right? [17:44] exit [17:44] :I oops [17:44] tck9, because those applications are build on and depend on libraries in the specific version of glibc. [17:44] tck9: dependancies of the packages, i'd just go along with it [17:45] andy__ did not tried that, if i use it, i want the whole desktop .... sorry [17:45] hi, i had a NAS which is now damaged. i stored 2 hd's with raid 1 in it. it was a kind of linux system. when i plug in the hd ubuntu cant read it. when i take a look into the drive management ubuntu can see the hd but i cant read it [17:45] Does anybody know if UNetBootin will take a custom XP ISO and put it on a flash drive, or is UNetBootin only for Linux based distros? [17:45] ben42, lol. that sucks man. I need to find a solution where i can just forward one process, like emacs [17:45] ben42: dependsing on what you do on the desktop there may be a sleeker way [17:46] but even doing 'apt-get upgrade openssl' shows all those other packages .. i don't think things like mysql, libxml, the kernel, etc would be deps [17:46] seems like upgrade can all be used to update all packages and doesn't take paramters for specific packages [17:47] tck9: apt-get upgrade doesn't take any arguments.

[19:33] AH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:33] goltoof: no iptables changes. am on a school public wireless network. [19:33] !  [19:33] ranjan: Why do you want to rebundle chromium? Doing this could be a few hours of packaging work. [19:34] rigved: i agree [19:34] thats why, sindegra. I almost bet that everything but 80 is filtered [19:34] sindegra: some ports (25 110, etc) aren't working on your wireless interface... my assumption [19:34] on the wifi at least - I've seen it before [19:34] dajhorn, actually i want to rebundle amarok [19:34] sindegra: oh.. a school network... maybe that explains it [19:34] email usually goes over 25 ( smtp ) and chat - it all depends on the client, but I've seen that filtered out too. [19:35] goltoof: how would I be able to check if a port is open? [19:35] dajhorn: one question ... I used riplinux ... with live mode ... and gives me 1024 x 768 [19:35] ??? [19:35] sindegra: nmap ;) [19:35] lol @ goltoof - that was my suggestion... [19:35] philinux: will try that now...other user accounts have same issue...no panel/menu [19:36] dauthiwarlord: Dunno. This is the #ubuntu support channel. You said earlier that you're trying to use bad hardware, so you're unlikely to get additional help. [19:36] badger32d: might be the case that only 80 works. but I damn will want to be sure that my wireless is functioning properly. [19:36] how can i force my ubuntu to mount a partation of a gpt harddisk? [19:36] sindegra: a good indication is if you've had this problem on other networks [19:36] Wow... the people in #debian are.... wow [19:36] *partition [19:37] sindegra - check another network, such as starbucks and see. [19:37] ranjan: Why do you want to rebundle Amarok? [19:37] dajhorn: sorry about last post ... is hard to follow u ... with lower resolutions ... but really I want to add more ress ... this distro completes what a died laptop should didn't do with other distros ... [19:37] help me .. :( [19:37] also, if it *is* the school network, try checking this out: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html -- if you have a *nix computer on another network you can connect to [19:37] dauthiwarlord: Bad Hardware -> No Help. [19:37] hi. whats the default encryption used on the ubuntu alternate install cd? LUKS or loop-aes? [19:38] Can someone help me? [19:38] fundus: LUKS [19:38] fundus - pretty sure its still LUKS [19:38] !ask | Kage|VNC [19:38] Kage|VNC: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:38] Hey all. I'm trying to install mongodb from natty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/mongodb) on my maverick server. But running this command "sudo apt-get install mongodb=1:1.6.3-1ubuntu1" keeps giving me version-not-found. Anyone know how to get around this? [19:38] dajhorn: thanks === Branden is now known as Shy [19:38] badger32d: thanks [19:38] fundus: eCryptFS if you choose the per-user option. Welcome. === andrea is now known as Guest852 [19:38] was it always LUKS? [19:38] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [19:38] any idea? i really need help please :) [19:38] been LUKS since I started in 7x [19:39] badger32d: sweet, thanks [19:39] fundus: LUKS was sorta-kinda-mostly an enhancement of the loop driver. [19:39] I'm trying to do a network install of xubuntu 10.04. All i could find as far as netboot images was http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/. is there no netboot image for xubuntu? [19:39] right, i guessed it was LUKS but wasnt sure [19:39] I have compressed some important files with "md5sum" and I can't seem to find the arguement to uncompress them... I tried -d but it says "md5sum: invalid option -- d" [19:39] philinux: thx for the last suggestion...have what I need now [19:39] Kage|VNC: youre joking? [19:39] AH: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel may be enough [19:40] fundus, what? [19:40] md5sum is a compression format ?! [19:40] Kage|VNC: you cant compress files with md5 [19:40] how can we make a edubuntu - Ubuntu instal on a server so wich can be opend in a webbrowser such as the edubuntu Live Web? [19:40] I occasionally compress files with SHA1, but never MD5sum... [19:40] Kage|VNC: md5sum is not a compression program like zip. [19:40] ;) [19:40] AH: sorted then [19:40] Kage|VNC, stop trolling [19:40] dajhorn, i want to have it in one package so that i can use my previous packages of amarok. [19:40] Kage|VNC: it only generates hash sums [19:41] hey..i want to change my empathy theme..but if i select a other theme, nothing happens... [19:41] why?:D [19:41] ranjan: You'll have dependency hell. It won't work. A better solution would be to compile the older Amarok for whatever libraries you have on the target computer. [19:41] Kage if we could fit gigs into that little hash, the world would be a much better place [19:41] Dice-Man: probably trolling [19:41] fundus, whats a hash sum? its a unique string that respesents data right? so its a compression? [19:41] Kage|VNC: what did you "really" use to compress your important files? [19:41] either way Philinux...the suggestion worked. I can get config back to what it needs to be fairly quick [19:41] erUSUL, yeah probably [19:41] Kage|VNC: what's the file extension? [19:42] AH: Good job. TRy not to fiddle too much ;) [19:42] Kage|VNC: try: echo "1" | md5sum [19:42] I use sha1 to compress all my sql backups. Restoring them is a pain in the butt though... ;) [19:42] lol... so seriosuly how do I revert a MD5 hash? [19:42] goltoof, its .md5 [19:42] o_0 [19:42] Hi, I need help on ubuntu 10.10 to setup snmpd [19:42] ranjan: Find the DSC file for the older version of Amarok that you want, use `dget` on it, and then do a `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc`. YMMV. [19:42] badger32d: what for? [19:43] goltoof, I did: cat Paper.odt | md5sum > Paper.odt.md5 [19:43] philinux...Im building my Linux admin skills....as long as I dont destroy hardware, its just a learning experience. [19:43] goltoof, same way you use gzip [19:43] Windows got old after 10 yrs [19:43] as an admin [19:43] irc.freenode.net [19:44] wait, huh? Can we please stop this MD5 stupidity? ehh? What was your question goltoof, I was afk [19:44] HI all, anyone know the deb repository URL for natty packages? [19:44] fundus, lol? Why is the output longer then the input? [19:44] Kage|VNC: well i don't knwo off the top of my head... but just as long as you know, md5 is not a compression algorithm.. it's a hashing algorithm [19:44] fundus, with that command [19:44] dajhorn,thnk u [19:45] dajhorn, i will try [19:45] ranjan: Welcome. [19:45] badger32d: why do you use SHA1 for sql backups? [19:45] goltoof, what do you mean its not a compression algorythm? did I loose my data? [19:45] Oh, sorry man - sarcasm [19:45] Lemme rephrase. I'm trying to install packages from natty on my maverick server. What is the url for natty packages and where can I find that URL in future? [19:46] Kage - please stop. MD5 will *not* compress files. Period. If you are serious, then you seriously need to check my friend www.google.com before you come in here asking questions like that. [19:46] Hello, I like to disable mouse acceleration by using "xset m 0 0". My question is, where can I put this so that it gets set by default upon login / startup? [19:46] Kage|VNC: it really sounds like you could use some time in the google corner.. if you're going to compress/decompress something, choose your compression method wisely [19:47] goltoof - SHA1 is another hashing algorithm - I was being sarcastic. I generally use gzip for my backups. [19:47] badger32d: lol.. k thanks for making me feel dumb, i really needed that [19:47] Hi Pici, I'm back. :) [19:47] badger32d: yeah i use gzip for my backups too :P [19:47] RayGalintao, did you make that into a script? check out rc-update via google === prosper is now known as Guest41745 [19:47] AH is now: area51pilot [19:48] goltoof, no worries. I'm just a crypto geek. Hashing is a interesting world [19:48] ogennadi: Look at the prevu package. Don't install natty packages directly on a maverick system. [19:48] someone got a clue why my empathy themes dont work? [19:48] Pici, you mentioned that there is an updated version of Xorg on the repository in lucid-updates. I have that line enabled in my /etc/apt/sources.list, but it doesn't automatically download and install the updates. Do I have to install the package manually? [19:48] salat - what theme? [19:49] hello [19:49] dajhorn: Could you give me a link to the prevu package? I'm trying to install mongodb 1.6.3 which is available in natty but not maverick... [19:49] need some help [19:49] badger32d: all themes dont work.. [19:49] hello,will ubuntu be a rolling release distro ,http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/ubuntu-becoming-rolling-release-distro.html [19:49] ogennadi: `apt-get install prevu` [19:50] BigMao: If you do an apt-get update and then run apt-cache policy , does it look like there is a newer version available? [19:50] gotta be more specific - how did you install / pick one theme [19:50] badger32d: i installed a theme but and it doesnt work and the standard themes dont work either [19:50] dajhorn: Thanks a lot :) [19:50] ogennadi: Welcome. [19:50] hmm, hold on a sec salat - checking something out [19:50] dajhorn: Please ... can you still help me to achieve my goal .. :( ?? [19:51] dauthiwarlord: No. Maybe somebody else will help you. I dislike troubleshooting bad/flakey/defective/broken hardware. [19:51] dajhorn: Ok thnx 4 all your help. [19:51] dajhorn, sorry to bother u again, should i dpkg. [19:51] dajhorn, should i use dpkg [19:52] if i want to extract a .tar.bz2 archive, is the command tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2 correct? [19:52] yes [19:52] is correct [19:52] bahamas: yup [19:52] ranjan: No. You need the development tools to build software packages. Things like devscripts, build-essential, debhelper. [19:52] bahamas: should work; [19:53] ranjan: You'll probably need to go through the Debian packaging tutorial to get a working result. [19:53] ok, thanks guys [19:53] badger32d: oh they work...just thought they would change the whole ui and not just the chat window [19:53] Pici, when I run apt-cache policy | grep -i xorg, there is nothing. Does that mean there are no new versions available? [19:53] dajhorn, ok. [19:54] ahh, well cool. good luck salat [19:54] Pici, I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade pretty regularly - so if there is an updated package out there, it probably isn't accessible via normal updates [19:54] BigMao: er, no, sorry I must have given you the wrong command. Try: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core [19:55] Installed: 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.4 [19:55] Same for Candidate: [19:55] dajhorn, i was thinking it will easy but doesn't seems to be. [19:55] So it doesn't look like there is a newer version [19:55] Can anyone recommend a graphical tool for me to convert an avi to a dvd video? [19:55] ranjan: An alternative is to put your old software into a virtual machine. [19:55] Pici, I last experienced the crash yesterday, so my hunch is that I am still getting the bug with this version of xserver-xorg-core [19:55] how can I make samba show symbolic links? When I open a dir with a link, it does not show the link. I have follow symlinks and wide links enabled. [19:56] BigMao: Hm.. Looks like it. [19:56] Okay, here is what happened. [19:56] aknagi: good question, i can't.. but be sure to search through the software center as i imagine there are a few [19:56] Suddenly my screen turned black. [19:56] I saw some characters like kkkkkkkkk flying by. [19:57] Then I got back to the gnome login screen. [19:57] Hello everyone [19:57] I was like: What on earth is happening with this computer? [19:57] aknagi try devede or Arista Transcoder [19:57] I guess this brings me back to the original question, if the fix for the related bug (563100) doesn't completely fix this bug (570151), is there some way to increase the priority of 570151 or get a developer to pay more attention to it? [19:58] Isn't it enough to place a init script in /etc/init.d to have it autostart when the machine boots? Like MySQL. If it's in there, shouldn't it always start? [19:58] But I think there was a problem with gnome. [19:58] smw: The client needs to mount the Samba share as CIFS, not SMB. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:58] All of a sudden fspot crashes whenever I try to import photos, even when I specify an empty directory as the source. [19:58] Do you understand? [19:58] hello [19:58] dajhorn, so nautilus can not see it but windows can? [19:58] goltoof: Thanks, anyway. [19:58] somebody can help me with an apache problem [19:58] ? [19:58] oldmanstan: Thanks, will do. [19:59] dajhorn, if you please tell me how i m suppose to do that. [19:59] ranjan: Do what? [19:59] dajhorn, I am using smb:// in nautilus [19:59] dajhorn, how can I do it? [20:00] smw: Does `smbclient` see the links? [20:00] I seem unable to fetch the indexfiles of http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release. Is the server down? [20:01] dajhorn, yep :-\ [20:01] Good, then it's not my fault :P [20:02] smw: You have a hidden directory $HOME/.gvfs -- cd into it and check whether the links appear there. [20:02] I'm experimenting with kubuntu and I did something do my bottom panel it seems, now when I minimize windows I can't see them in the panel, anyone know how to fix this? [20:03] dajhorn, they are there; they are red; they give permission denied [20:03] hello [20:03] smw: Okay. This is probably a not-Samba problem. [20:03] is there a way i can get a user to bind to a network address without having root? [20:03] ok [20:03] smw: Especially if smbclient and Windows clients can see the links and use them. [20:04] dajhorn, I will test it on a windows machine, brb [20:04] tar -czf minecraft-$(date +"&%Y%m%d).tar.gz minecraft [20:04] there is nothing wrong with that, right? [20:04] it's just sitting there.. i assume still compressing [20:04] been waiting a minute, though [20:05] shmup: you have a & in that date command where none should be. [20:05] oh ~.~ hm [20:05] toodles: Regular users can bind processes to ports greater than 1023. Only root processes can open ports less than 1024. [20:05] Pici, so we could assume that if I remove that all is well? [20:05] dajhorn, nope. It is a samba problem. [20:05] dajhorn: yeah, i understand, but there's a game that requires access to the network interface before it even starts to bind (sorry i didnt clarify this) [20:06] and it will only work during root [20:06] since the game is made for windows.. they usually just use run as administrator [20:06] shmup: Sure. You may want to add a -v on your tar command if you want to be extra sure that its doing something. [20:06] toodles: Which game? Are you running it in Wine or CrossOver? [20:06] i'm booted 2.6.32-26-generic and my wifi stopped working. broadcom STA here. any ideas? [20:06] in wine, need for speed underground 2 [20:07] need the adapters for LAN capability [20:07] dajhorn, on windoes it said permission denied [20:07] smw: Is the Samba server a domain member, or using something like NTACLS? [20:07] dajhorn, not that I know of [20:07] dajhorn, not sure what NTACLS is [20:07] Pici, even adding f, giving me -cvzf .. it just sits there. [20:08] smw NTACLs are Windows-style permissions. Different than what you get with chmod. [20:08] dajhorn, ah [20:08] toodles: Look at the privbind package. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to try something like a jail or chroot. [20:09] Pici, nvm sorry. Got it. ;x [20:09] shmup: okay :) [20:09] I removed the date. [20:10] And it was done instantly. [20:10] So I just have to assume something was wrong with the format. [20:10] smw: You've got me stumped. Maybe pastebin a directory listing from smbclient. [20:11] ciao === alex88_ is now known as alex88 [20:11] dajhorn, I have been doing some debugging [20:11] dajhorn, "Share 'media' has wide links and unix extensions enabled. These parameters are incompatible. Wide links will be disabled for this share." [20:12] hi anyone know how to upgrade filezilla on a ubuntu desktop 8.4 hardy [20:12] hi all [20:12] dajhorn, so, I disabled wide links. Now I have the same problem and get "connect to service media initially as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534)" [20:13] hi BostX [20:13] hi bostX [20:13] smw: You're getting that because your client is connecting anonymously. It isn't a problem if you want to allow guest connections. [20:14] dajhorn, I want to connect anonymously :-) [20:14] guys, what RAID system is that it has NO redundancy? [20:14] jinjonboo: raid0 [20:14] do you have a list? [20:14] dajhorn, this is my public readonly share [20:14] !raid [20:14] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:15] smw: Wide links allow you to link outside of the path=/MyStuff tree. This is usually a security risk, so everything defaults to preventing it. An easy fix would be to copy or hardlink everything into the media share. [20:15] erUSUL: thanks [20:15] I read that you can use a KDE Theme Manager for kubuntu themes, is that installed by default? [20:15] !raid [20:15] erUSUL: sorry my indiscretion, but you really sure right? this is for a test :P [20:15] dajhorn, I hate hardlinks :-\ [20:15] whats a program that can tell me how much % my card is connected to the tower [20:15] jinjonboo: wikipedia should be able to confim as many other resources in the web [20:16] <_Techie_> using the catalyst control centre from FGLRX i cannot enable my third screen, only my DVI and DP, not my DVI-VGA [20:16] erUSUL: sure, of course:) thanks for the help :) [20:16] dajhorn, 75GB is a little bit much to copy... [20:16] irc.blacksailer.org [20:16] guys, I have a laptop without DVD mechanics and bootable win7 CD and I'd like to run win7 on ubuntu virtual-box. Has anyone an idea how to get it there? [20:17] smw: What is outside of the \media share that you want to include? Something like a torrent folder? [20:17] <_jesse_> BostX: rip it a computer that does have a drive [20:17] <_jesse_> and create an image [20:17] i'm having trouble with the latest ubuntu version... i installed it on my new dell xps, and if i unplug the power chord, 1-5m later it freezes and i have to do a hard reboot. am i missing a driver, or what else could be causing this? [20:17] dajhorn, yep. exactly [20:17] !evolution [20:17] Hey [20:17] Hey guys. Does anyone think Meerkat should have a firewall or something installed on it post-installation? [20:17] My ubuntu seems to be very unstable [20:17] can any1 tell me what program can tell me how much % my internet is connected? cause the only ubuntu has dont refresh [20:17] It freezes a lot [20:18] _jesse_, uhm... but is there a program to rip CD to USB? [20:18] realeyes, not for a desktop, no [20:18] <_jesse_> BostX: there are programs to rip to a .iso file which you can copy to a USB drive [20:18] It's even the reason I just logged out, because my computer froze and I had to reboot it. [20:18] smw: Client side, things like XBMC can coalesce several CIFS shares into one logical point. Server side, you'll probably need to do some tricks, like a union mount. [20:18] It didn't freeze that often when I was still using ubuntu 10.4 [20:18] smw: thanks. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [20:19] And it also doesn't freeze that often when I use (evil) windows. [20:19] blup: it might be related to your graphics driver according to something I've read on ubuntu forums [20:19] my Evolution Calendar meeting requests freeze up y system temp after most recent system update. Any ideas where to begin. Have completely removed and reinstalled Evolution, same isue [20:19] smw: Of you could set the unix extensions = off and try wide links = on again. [20:19] blup: I read it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463355 [20:19] littlejoey: do you remember the thread?

[20:21] blup: what is your graphics card, and what driver do you have for it? [20:22] dajhorn, so, all I need to do is make a few symlinks. easy... right? lol [20:22] _jesse_, ubuntu :) [20:22] <_jesse_> BostX: :) you should just be able to use brasero to create the image then [20:23] <_jesse_> you want a .iso file when you're done [20:23] smw: Remember that smbd must be able to traverse the link dereference. Eg: If the link contains /home/foo/bar, then smbd must have permissions to read /, /home, and /home/bar. Same goes for relative links. The '..' needs to be readable by smbd. [20:23] _jesse_, hmm... right [20:23] dajhorn, yeah, I made sure that all worked out [20:23] Hi is ubuntu 10.10 much less stable than ubuntu 10.4? [20:23] <_jesse_> BostX: so start it up and hit '1:1' copy [20:24] Somelauw, works for me [20:24] Somelauw: It's different, instead of stable programms, new ones [20:24] Since for me, it crashes a lot. [20:24] Somelauw: But it's great for me [20:24] littlejoey: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670, and i installed the driver from the driver manager (ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics driver) [20:24] Very often it just hangs without leaving any traces in the syslog or anywhere.

[20:32] blup: wait I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/662998 [20:32] ActionParsnip, the problem is that this command you've specified opens gedit in terminal, which means untill I close gedit I can't do anything else in terminal.. [20:32] ubuntunoobz: oke [20:32] go to open with tab after that a pick the player [20:32] ah, that fixed it, thanks [20:33] ...why can't you use upper case? [20:33] and* [20:33] marel: then suffix with an ampersand [20:33] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: you can do `iwlist ra0 scanning` to see percentages for all networks [20:33] blup: sure on the ATI website for instance, try to see if there is a more recent version [20:33] Jaziek: its a known bug [20:33] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: replacing 'ra0' with oyur wifi interface [20:33] omg ty _jesse [20:33] Hello?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:34] _jesse interface dont support scanning [20:34] Hi, erm I don't quite know whats wrong with my laptop [20:34] state the problem [20:34] Quinn: give as many details as possible [20:34] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: are you sure you supplied the correct name? your wifi interface should support scanning :P [20:34] ActionParsnip, thanks. [20:34] kk [20:35] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: you can actually just leave the inteface out and do `iwlist scanning` to see it all [20:35] My laptop refuses to re-install windows using windows xp boot disk === tobin_ is now known as tobin [20:35] marel: if you aren't the owner you can run: gksudo gedit filename & ,to run gedit with elevated access [20:35] <_jesse_> Quinn: how is that an ubuntu problem? [20:35] this is linux help not windows. /join #windows [20:35] !windows | Quinn [20:35] Quinn: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [20:35] well I had a similar problem before and I got help here and Ubuntu caused the problem in the first place [20:36] ActionParsnip: I noticed that sudo gedit doesn't work anymore... I should try it with gksudo, do you know why though? [20:36] <_jesse_> Quinn: Ubuntu couldn't prevent you from reinstalling Windows [20:36] quinn i know the problem!!!! its windows thats what!! [20:36] Quinn: ubuntu activities do not impact windows installations [20:36] <_jesse_> Quinn: You but the disk in and boot from it, grub doesn't even load by that point [20:36] I attempt to install windows by earasing with hdd with the disk and then my laptop randomly shuts off [20:36] <_jesse_> so there isn't anyway Ubuntu could affect that [20:37] Has anyone successfully gotten the MSN certificates for Pidgin to work on 10.10? Can't seem to fix it permanently. [20:37] littlejoey: sudo doesn't setup the environment right and you will screw the ownership of .ICEauthority if you do [20:37] _jesse is there a place i can see my internet %? [20:37] Fapton_Calcon: I have [20:37] it tries to install windows and gets to about 6% and dies [20:37] Fapton_Calcon: try the one on the pidgin ppa [20:37] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: `iwlist scanning` shows it to you, it's under 'Quality' [20:37] Fapton_Calcon: Upgrade from the PPA, or install the new MSN certification like the bug report describes. [20:37] Quinn: that's offtopic here. Try ##windows [20:37] I just delted about a gig from a folder I created under root - named /share. Yet the space didnt come back as use-able, but the files I deleted are gone and not in the trash. What gives? [20:38] I upgraded from the PPA, yet the problem persists. [20:38] <_jesse_> Quinn: that is a Windows problem then, you might just have a bad disk, but ask them to be sure [20:38] cause i made a server and im moving the usb air card around to increase my signal but i cant find a place that tell me the % and keeps refreashing it [20:38] ActionParsnip: does that mean I shouldn't use sudo at all? or just not with gnome GUI's such as gedit? [20:38] Roasted_: try an fsck in livecd [20:38] rebonsoir ai je reussi mon passage a ubuntu , suis je revenu sur le bon irc , [20:38] Fapton_Calcon: Did you restart? The process could be in the tray.

[20:38] I really dont think booting to a live cd each time I dont get the space I should have is the answer.

[20:41] Ask away Ubuntuguy [20:41] <_jesse_> it gauges it over time [20:41] mmk === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [20:42] Well [20:42] Fapton_Calcon: dude, you wanted it fixed; you need to ask *them* [20:42] cause right now my air card only has 25% [20:42] My ubuntu 10.10 boots up into recovery menu and I have to pick to run in non graphical mode etc [20:42] I could get back on deskto[ [20:42] Fapton_Calcon: I was just trying to help [20:42] ubuntunoobz: does the chip expect firmware files at all? [20:42] But I don't understand why I have to go through that... [20:42] how do I install java on ubuntu without internet access? [20:43] code_astronomer: I know, I'm not mad or anything. I'm greatful for the advice you've given me :) [20:43] ubuntuguy go to system ->admin -> additional drivers [20:43] And [20:43] Jaziek: grab the reuired debs and transfer via removable storage to the non web connected system [20:43] actionparsnip what u mean? i had to install the firmware via additional drivers [20:43] Jaziek: You need to use a tool like apt-zip or apt-offline to. [20:43] Fapton_Calcon: to be fair, it's in the topic in #pidgin ... ;) says in the instructions [20:43] ubuntuguy is there something there? [20:44] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: I think he was trying to talk to Ubuntuguy and tab completed wrong [20:44] Ubuntunoobz I already have wifi and everything [20:44] Fapton_Calcon: I did the same, and then realised [20:44] I just keep booting into recovery menu [20:44] and idk why... [20:44] ubuntunoobz: reboot and run: dmesg | less ,read through to see if you need firmware, then find the file itexpects and place in /etc/firmware [20:44] ubuntuguy what graphics card do u have? [20:44] Yeah, I'm quite unfamiliar with IRC. [20:44] Not sure, intel model graphics [20:44] Ubuntuguy: i'd boot to livecd and reinstall grub2 [20:45] !| [20:45] What do you mean reinstall grub2? [20:45] code_astronomer: Thanks again! [20:45] Pici, I was away for a moment so I might have missed your reply. Do you know of a way to increase the priority of the bug? [20:45] Fapton_Calcon: lol... np [20:45] !pipe [20:45] Ubuntuguy: if you need to give it files and you do, you may get a better signal === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [20:45] I'm confused. [20:46] I just need to know how to remove recovery menu [20:46] Ubuntuguy: grub2 is the bootloader. You can reinstall it to the drive via live cd [20:46] Everytime I boot-up [20:46] Oh === sebner_ is now known as sebner [20:46] <_jesse_> Ubuntuguy: try pressing escape while booting to load the grub menu [20:46] oh i thought u said if u boot it goes into low graphics mode [20:46] Oh ok [20:46] So pressing escape [20:46] Will help? [20:46] <_jesse_> well it should bring up the grub list [20:46] And then what do I do? [20:47] <_jesse_> choose one of the non-safemode kernels [20:47] <_jesse_> preferabbly the topmost one [20:47] <_jesse_> my guess is it's just skipping that menu and booting whatever the default is [20:47] how do I check the Message Bus security policy? [20:47] I'm going to come on the chat on my desktop so I can get step by step instructions as I do it === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [20:48] Jesse, can we do private chat? === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [20:49] wow i didnt think it was this hard to see the percent of my mobile broadband connection.... [20:49] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: it isn't, I told you how! You can probably find a gnome-panel applet too [20:49] mmk ill look into it [20:50] hey [20:50] my workspaces suddenly stopped working properly, I can't drag over windows between them...why is taht? [20:50] <_jesse_> ubuntunoobz: check http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-471881.html [20:51] kk [20:53] code_astronomer: Do I need to use gksudo nautilus to copy the .pem files into the folder? [20:54] guys, is there a RAID system besides RAID 1 that uses mirroring??! [20:54] Fapton_Calcon: sudo cp is fine [20:55] <_jesse_> jinjonboo: raid1 is just mirroring, there are otherones that due bit parity and mirroring and whatnot, but they require more than 2 disks [20:55] <_jesse_> or nvm, actually I don't think there are :P [20:55] <_jesse_> there's raid 1/0 and raid 0/1 [20:55] ok so i was removing old kernels, didnt read the guide fully, and removed a kernel that it said i needed to recieve updates, how do i reinstall it so i can get updates? [20:56] i just installed ubuntu on my 24" imac, but it only boots into it if the network is unplugged. if you try to boot with network plugged in, the mac flashes a the failed network boot icon instead of going to linux [20:58] code_astronomer: Thanks, I think it worked. One question, though? Was I suppose to remove the other Microsoft ones? [20:58] i was removing old kernels, didnt read the guide fully, and removed a kernel that it said i needed to recieve updates, how do i reinstall it so i can get update [20:59] Fapton_Calcon: think you should be ok. [20:59] glitchd: Reinstall the linux-image package. [20:59] _jesse_, im getting Batch file F:\DOSMENU.BAT missing [20:59] :( [20:59] dajhorn, how would i do that? [21:00] ahh ok thanks _jesse_ :) [21:00] glitchd: `apt-get install linux-image`. [21:00] <_jesse_> BostX: this is in virtualbox? [21:00] i dont know what the code of the kernel was thos [21:00] _jesse_, yep [21:00] dajhorn, i dont know the numbers of the kernel tho.. [21:00] glitchd: linux-image is a metapackage that always depends on a recent working supported kernel. You don't need to know the version number. [21:01] <_jesse_> BostX: so you ripped the DVD to an ISO, copied it to the laptop, created a virtual hard disk in virtualbox, created a new VM, and set the VM to load the image in it's drive? [21:01] dajhorn, the guide says Do not uninstall the linux-image-generic as it is necessary to receive updates of the kernel. [21:02] glitchd: Okay. Why is this important to you? [21:02] so i should do 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic'? [21:02] _jesse_, yea... I might try to repeat it again in case of pebkac [21:02] dajhorn, because i want my system to stay up to date [21:02] glitchd: No. You should do apt-get install linux-image. [21:02] dajhorn, ok ill do that then [21:02] <_jesse_> BostX: yeah just make sure you are loading the ISO into the VM properly [21:03] BostX: also md5 test the iso, so you know its complete and consistant [21:04] dajhorn, ok so i did that, now hopefully ill get updates when they come out [21:04] glitchd: Notice how linux-image installed linux-image-generic for you. [21:04] _jesse_, ActionParsnip the error 'Batch file F:\DOSMENU.BAT missing' comes while booting the Win7 in the vbox [21:05] dajhorn, this is what i have now [21:05] * bursihido (~bursihido@122.173.57.119) has left #ubuntu ("WeeChat 0.3.2") [21:05] BostX: i'd ask in ##windows for what that implys [21:05] dajhorn, oops [21:06] dajhorn, glitchd@glitchtop:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image [21:06] linux-image install [21:06] linux-image-2.6.32-26-generic install [21:06] linux-image-2.6.32-26-generic-pae install [21:06] linux-image-generic install [21:06] glitchd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:06] BostX: if its an iso, make sure it passes consistency check [21:06] dajhorn, do u see that or did it get removed> [21:06] glitchd: You're not allowed to paste into this channel. Use pastebin instead. You also need to reboot for a new kernel to become active. uname -a will tell you the version of the running kernel. [21:06] ? [21:07] For some reason tomboy-panel is not doing anything when I try to open it. I tried running it from the command line too, and it didn't give me any output and just froze. How could I diagnose what's going on here? [21:07] glitchd: could've done: dpkg -l | grep linux-image (shorter but same output) === antonio_ is now known as AntonioPT [21:07] dajhorn, http://pastie.org/1323999 === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [21:08] !away > _TechAway_ [21:08] _TechAway_, please see my private message [21:08] glitchd: That looks okay. [21:09] dajhorn, mmk, so i should recieve update via update manager, right? [21:09] glitchd: Yes. [21:09] glitchd: you could remove the non pae kernel if you don't use it [21:10] ActionParsnip, ok, will do === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [21:10] glitchd: No, don't do that. You'll lose the linux-image automagic. [21:10] dajhorn: s/he has the linux-mage-pae which will give pae kernel upgrades [21:11] dajhorn, dam i did it before u responded [21:11] glitchd: linux-image is the top-level of the dependency tree that Ubuntu uses for dist upgrades. [21:11] dajhorn, now i need to reinstall that [21:11] <_Techie_> ActionParsnip, couldnt help it, had to log out and in while configuring graphics, produced the same amount of extra lines as joining and parting would have [21:11] glitchd: If you don't have linux-image, then you can get stranded on an old kernel between major upgrades. [21:11] dajhorn, ok so how do i reinstall it? [21:12] _Techie_: You can use "/away [reason]" to mark yourself as away without creating extra noise in the channel. [21:12] _Techie_: could have just left then rejoined like everyone else does.. [21:12] <_Techie_> ActionParsnip, would have created the same amount of extra lines [21:12] glitchd: Just run the install command again. (APT should be complaining that you're messing with the running kernel. Are you not getting "don't touch this" kinds of warnings?) [21:13] hi alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll [21:13] chopo, hell [21:13] _Techie_: the factoid is inplace for reasons ;). I'm not an op but I do follow standard procedure for folks using away stuff [21:13] o [21:13] dajhorn, no i got so such warning [21:13] it removed it without a hitch [21:14] hey, my eclipse won't start anymore... i just added the debian ppa, it updated and now it does nothing.... only the splash-screen is popping up [21:14] glitchd: did the last section of update-grub show kernels [21:14] greenIT: "the debian ppa"? [21:14] <_Techie_> well, if this was the only channel i was in, then i would do something about it... but seeing its not, and that im actually rarely in here... i guess it stays how it is [21:14] ActionParsnip, i dont think i did update grub [21:14] greenIT: mixing debian ppas with ubuntu will mess your OS as they are not the same [21:14] ActionParsnip, unless it runs automatically [21:14] glitchd: its part of the process ;) [21:15] actionparship: ok, how can i delete this ppa and is there one which is offering the latest eclipse-build for ubuntu? [21:15] glitchd: you should install linux-image-pae so your pae kernel gets updated [21:15] greenIT: reverse what you added [21:15] ActionParsnip, this is what was displayed http://pastie.org/1324015 [21:15] Hey guys I just installed user directories and I can go to the /~username/ fine but when I try to add a .php file(which works fine under main /) it wants to down load the file, is there just somewhere I need to add more info in for the userdirs?

[21:28] i just want pure folder names [21:28] <_jesse_> BostX: aaaah [21:28] without / [21:29] <_jesse_> BostX: well that'd be important [21:29] edbian I don't have windoze [21:29] !who | dumont [21:29] dumont: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:29] it used to be UNR 10.04 [21:29] thefinn93, all the hdd's are empty? [21:29] jrib [21:29] :) [21:29] bad things happened on the upgrade to 10.10 [21:29] <_jesse_> BostX: can I PM? [21:29] so i had to reinsall [21:29] _jesse_, what? [21:29] thefinn93, open up gparted. See what gparted thinks of your partitions, are there errors etc? [21:29] alright [21:29] <_jesse_> BostX: /msg you :P [21:30] _jesse_, of course [21:30] thefinn93, Not having an NTFS partition makes this whole process a lot shorter and easier :D [21:30] <[V13]Razwerkz> Nah, I manage a chatbot on the same client that I chat on. [21:30] <[V13]Razwerkz> Ffff wrong window [21:31] edbian I don't have anything NTFS. I just opened gparted and it doesn't say anything about errors [21:31] the main partition is ext4 [21:31] should I try formatting it? [21:31] i've got all my stuff off [21:31] thefinn93, There are no little orange triangles [21:31] nope [21:32] thefinn93, If you have all your stuff off then I recommend just wiping all the partitions and leaving it totally empty. Easiest thing for the installer to read later. [21:32] alright [21:32] i'll try that [21:32] ext4 sound good? [21:32] thefinn93, No that's what I'm saying. Just make it all "unallocated" [21:32] hi, I have a ubuntu server running as our office NAT router... I want to forward a port to an internal server. I ran these commands, but it isn't working: http://pastebin.ca/2001363 [21:32] how do I make demons (ie sshd and telnetd) start automaticly at boot in 10.04? [21:32] oh [21:32] thefinn93, We'll let the installer format it. [21:32] In the installed boot menu for 9.10, how do I edit the boot options? [21:32] alright [21:32] *installation [21:32] here is a list of rules on the box: http://pastebin.ca/2001366 [21:33] thefinn93, Yeah, again, just to be sure. This will erase everything. Make SURE you have a second copy [21:33] edbian, yeah I got everything totally backed up before i started this. It says an error occured [21:33] thefinn93, ok [21:33] dumont: you never answered my question === Zwei_ is now known as Drei [21:33] hold on i'll get it online [21:34] thefinn93, gparted gave you an error just now? Or the upgrade to 10.10 gave on error [21:34] thefinn93, online? [21:34] sorry it's on a netbook over ther <-- which isn't attached to the net [21:34] it gave me some error file [21:34] and gparted gave the error === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [21:34] thefinn93, lemme see all the errors. That will help [21:35] edbian alright [21:35] thefinn93: Are you trying to install on to a netbook from a flash drive? === _Techie_ is now known as _TechAway_ [21:35] ProtiK yes === _TechAway_ is now known as _Techie_ [21:35] ProtiK, and it's getting stuck for him [21:36] thefinn93: You won't be able to do it with 10.10. There's some issue with gparted on a netbook. I couldn't do it until I installed 9.10 alternative [21:36] ProtiK, I installed it... [21:36] ProtiK, I've done it. Am I special?

[21:37] ProtiK yes [21:37] thefinn93: Installed and all? :o [21:37] ProtiK netbook remix was doing the same thing so i decided to try this [21:37] ProtiK no it's live [21:38] thefinn93: Oh [21:38] thefinn93: And you're having an issue installing it because of gparted, yes? [21:38] ProtiK i believe so [21:38] ProtiK it freezes at the screen before gparted [21:38] thefinn93, ProtiK, I concur [21:38] when i hit the forward button [21:38] thefinn93: Use 9.10 then upgrade from there. I couldn't get any edition of 10.10 to work. [21:39] ProtiK ok [21:39] where can i go to learn how to hack on unity using vala? [21:39] how do I make sshd and telnetd start auomaticly at boot? [21:39] hey guys is 10.04 very stable? [21:39] TheNavyBear: when you install openssh-server it will start automatically at boot [21:39] TheNavyBear, sshd does that already by default [21:39] i want to recommend it at work for our servers and desktops [21:40] andy__, I think so. Not as stable as some OS's though [21:40] andy__: all ubuntu releases are stable by definition [21:40] would you guys recommend i recommend 10.04 [21:40] andy__ 10.04 is stable. also, 10.10 is stable as well [21:40] !sru | andy__ [21:40] andy__: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [21:40] edbian: ok, how do I enable telnetd automatic starts [21:40] TheNavyBear, IDK, who uses telnet? [21:41] my bb [21:41] TheNavyBear: what do you mean by "bb"? [21:41] TheNavyBear, butterfinger? [21:41] andy__ i would reccomend 10.04 [21:42] augdawg, thanks auddawd [21:43] jrib: blackberry [21:43] TheNavyBear: seriously: why do want to use telnet? [21:43] I have a few devices that only do telnet [21:43] TheNavyBear, ssh does everything telnet does but securely. [21:43] TheNavyBear, Have you tried it? My guess would be that it also starts by default. [21:43] another question. In NX can I set it up so that it only forwards one app, like emacs. Instead of the entire desktop [21:44] andy__, yes, ssh -X user@hostname [21:44] TheNavyBear: don't use telnet over the internet: passwords and all are transmitted in the clear [21:44] andy__, Then any graphical app started will be forwarded only [21:44] telnet = plaintext, SSH is encrypted even before connecting. =] [21:45] guntbert: I understandf that [21:45] Hey guys, how do I force a higher resolution through VGA?

I'm in a initramfs shell === netzapper is now known as netzapper-idle [21:48] Jeruvy: sorry, no idea about that here ... [21:48] edbian: how would I edit this then? It seems the kernel update broke my boot. [21:49] hey does anyone know how i could list the channels? [21:49] Jeruvy, Read up on it. You can still do it. It's just a bit more complex unfortunately. What are you trying to do? [21:49] type /list [21:49] @ ionnick, type /list [21:49] CeilingKitten: no [21:49] edbian: make my computer boot once again :) [21:49] thanks [21:49] ionnick: use alis to search for channels [21:49] oh nvm -_- you mean ubuntu update channels? [21:49] Jeruvy, what error is grub giving you right now? [21:50] ionnick: there are too many channels on freenode [21:50] Jeruvy, The easiest way is probably to edit the grub menu live using the e key. [21:50] edbian: I did, it needs rootdelay added to the boot device. [21:50] edbian: can I do this from initramfs? [21:50] edbian, ssh -X is really slow. Is there a way to use it with NX? [21:51] Jeruvy, reboot the computer, press shift before Ubuntu starts to load to get to the grub menu, press e on the entry you want to edit, add in rootdelay, then try to boot that kernel. [21:51] andy__, What is NX? I thought you ment linux [21:51] edbian: ok thanks I will do that. [21:51] is anyone familiar with the microcontroler atmega168 ???!

[21:53] how i get spanish support [21:53] edbian: makes sense I couldn't get anywhere in initramfs. Trying to boot now. [21:53] edbian: I thought ssh -X was replaced with ssh -Y, personallt I used ssh -CY for personal use (compress + x11 forwarding) [21:53] edibian, it might be because you are using your text editor in the terminal. Or ur connection is local. My server is located in another city and im trying to run emacs with and x window. it lags alot [21:53] Diamondcite, never heard of it! :) I can't wait to try [21:54] spanish? [21:54] Diamondcite, yea you are right. most ppl know it by -XC [21:54] please!!!! [21:54] andy__, Why not run emacs in the console? That might speed it up.

[21:55] Jeruvy, Awesome [21:55] andy_: Hrm.. I lack some apps.. to test with.. will something like dolphin be complex enough? [21:55] Jeruvy, Now you have the fun task of fixing grub persistently. You have to read a lot :) [21:55] Jeruvy, It should be easier though now that you're target system is bootable. [21:55] andy_: dolphin the KDE file manager, not the emu. [21:56] Diamondcite, dolphin shouldnt be a problem. I just dont want to open the window manager. mine is nautilus. I want to just open the app itself === djayp_ is now known as djayp [21:56] Diamondcite, currently what it does is opens the desktop (nautilus) remotely [21:57] andy_: Gnome apps tends to do that... can't launch from the command line to make it easier?

[21:59] someuser, Are you still you? [21:59] What is a relatively lightweight file browser with thumbnails for looking at 100 jpegs in a single directory? [21:59] someuser, type whoami [21:59] i am me! [21:59] i tried manually going through iwconfig and setting my essid but dhclient isnt picking up the network [21:59] someuser, ha ha ha :) [21:59] ;) [21:59] someuser, What are the permissions on your home? [21:59] NB: I have been using "feh -t -Sfilename -E 128 -y 128 -W 1024 *" [22:00] have to boot it again [22:00] someuser, k [22:00] someuser, Try booting using the recovery mode. It will let you log in without complaining about your /home [22:00] i just can do "alt+f2" and then open xterm [22:00] mingdao: I was about to suggest feh... not sure what exactly you are looking for. Maybe "pornview"? [22:01] Diamondcite, i launched it from the command line in NX and it worked fine. but the window was stuck inside the remote desktop. [22:01] jrib: No, I don't look at photos of your sister. [22:01] touchee [22:01] i could also add another user of course... [22:01] someuser, so you changed your password and dont remember it? and your encrypted home folder won't let you in now? i'm confused as to what exactly happened [22:01] andy__: isn't NX a remote desktop app? and I'm not sure why emacs would bring up nautilus... [22:02] mingdao: please don't do that. Despite it's name, it's just an image viewing app. [22:02] its even [22:02] Diamondcite, emacs doesnt bring up nautilus. NX does. and within nautilus and gnome, and within that i have to open emacs [22:02] someuser, just figure the permissions on home. I don't care how you do it [22:02] what happened? i wanted to change my login-password. what i did. and now my home is broken [22:02] andy_: Is your emacs console based? or graphical? [22:02] someuser, I don't know what happened [22:03] Diamondcite, exceed does it so that you can just log in remotely to a terminal and run apps and the app is forwarded to ur desktop [22:03] the emacs im running is graphical [22:03] hello? [22:03] my home is still "mine" [22:03] kde won't start [22:03] andy__: So how about something like... "ssh -CY user@host emacs" ? [22:03] someuser, mmm, and you're you (or so you claim) [22:03] i get this when i run startkde http://pastebin.com/PwtUSD9z [22:03] someuser, What is the error exactly? [22:03] Diamondcite, that solution is very very laggy [22:04] the error is that my home was encrypted and ecryptfs won't decrypt it [22:04] hi all, is there a way to clean up the grub boot loader. I am dual booting with win 7 and ubuntu. I have updated ubuntu and now there are 3 different boot options for it. [22:04] not even with my initial login-password [22:04] (which is right) [22:04] hello? [22:04] someuser, oh, look at your keyring? (can you)? [22:05] someuser, you didnt happen to write down the really long random series of digits that it gives you when you create an encrypted home do you? [22:05] andy__: I see.. latency is hard to deal with though.. in any situation (I used to X11 forward vnc from the remote side, but that's still remote desktop and no better than freenx?) [22:05] mrnelson: the long what? *sigh* [22:05] edbian: how can i access the keyring? [22:05] someuser, Perhaps you can change your password back? [22:05] Diamondcite, freenx is wayyyy faster than vnc [22:06] someuser, it's a graphical app. I'm not sure the term command for it [22:06] edbian: of course i did that. but this did not solve the problem [22:06] someuser, when you create an encrypted home folder, way back when you installed ubuntu, it gives you a recovery code which is like a 15-20 digit code of random numbers and letters [22:06] mrnelson1986: and these are the f***** characters i need now? [22:06] ?? [22:07] cz? [22:07] someuser, and tells you "write this down so you don't lose it so you can un-encrypt your home folder if something happens to your install" [22:07] someuser, well, it is a foolproof way to recover what is on your home folder [22:07] nothing happened, i just wanted t o c h a n g e m y password [22:07] someuser, there may be other ways, but that is 100% what will work [22:08] how can i see what is using memory and how much from the command line? [22:08] someuser, i dont mean to upset you, i was just saying a solution i know will work [22:08] jrib: sorry ... still inappropriate name ... wouldn't install it and give someone the wrong idea ... few will do [22:08] so i read now you can't just passwd your password -.- [22:08] ok, got that [22:08] :) [22:08] hi all, is there a way to clean up the grub boot loader. I am dual booting with win 7 and ubuntu. I have updated ubuntu and now there are 3 different boot options for it. [22:08] this is so rediculous [22:08] especially as i know my old password! [22:09] jrmcm: edit the grub.cfg file [22:09] ? [22:09] mingdao: you might want to check it out and see if it's the app you are looking for.

[22:23] dajhorn:: thanks it worked but I had to change it instead of +2 it should have been --lines=+2 [22:24] I'm trying to find a way to install ubuntu on my amd sempron 3000 based PC [22:24] doesn't work [22:24] it's a 32 bit processor [22:24] any suggestions [22:24] ?? [22:24] whats the best way to unrar a rar [22:25] ... [22:25] archive manager says its not supported [22:25] use tar [22:25] !unrar | major_redhat [22:25] major_redhat: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:25] Onkar_: tar wont handle rar [22:25] !doesntwork | Onkar_ [22:25] Onkar_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:25] use 7z [22:25] major_redhat, there's an unrar package that "patches" Archive Manager to support rars. It's in Synaptic. [22:26] justyellowboy: what am i looking for in the filter to find the patch [22:26] I think the package is simply called "unrar." [22:26] I'm trying to find a way to install ubuntu on my amd sempron 3000 based PC ... i'm tryin to find a distribution of ubuntu that supports AMD Sempron 3000+ but i'm unable to do so. Any suggestions? [22:26] oh ok [22:27] I'm trying to find a way to install ubuntu on my amd sempron 3000 based PC ... i'm tryin to find a distribution of ubuntu that supports AMD Sempron 3000+ but i'm unable to do so. Any suggestions? I see that all recent ubuntu distributions are for 64 bit procs [22:27] No, they are not. [22:27] Onkar_: What happens when you try? [22:28] well, the CD apparently fails the disc check always [22:28] There are versions for 32 and versions for 64 Bit. [22:28] Onkar_: did you burn this from an iso? [22:28] yes [22:28] Onkar_: Can you do an md5 check of that iso? [22:28] !md5 | Onkar_ [22:28] helo [22:28] Onkar_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:29] some one suggested sleuthkit when I asked yesterday to recover deleted files, just to make it clear, Is it necessary to boot a live system to utilize it ? [22:29] ok [22:29] gimme some thime [22:29] *time [22:31] !!!HELP!!! How can I get IEEE 802.11n speed on my D-Link DWA-140 adapter on Ubuntu 10.04 ? It works, but only with IEEE 802.11g speed (54 Mbps). Anyone ? [22:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:31] anyone know why I have to unlock the keyring three times on every boot? [22:31] btw I think I only tried with i386 Live images [22:32] and not amd64 [22:32] should I try amd64 instead [22:33] Onkar, it doesn't matter if it's i386 or amd64 ISO. [22:33] ok [22:33] Your ISO has to pass the md5 test. [22:33] After that you can burn it and boot from the CD. [22:34] am doing the md5sum test on ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso [22:34] here's the result [22:34] 9a95ed6f6ec38fb58c446dba1add6a08 ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso === EuGenE is now known as FardadJalili [22:35] !hashes [22:35] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [22:35] Onkar: compare the result with the official hash at the above link [22:36] hey, how can I change the groupid of a certain folder? [22:36] Hi, can I expect a minimal kde if I install kdebase-apps and kdebase-bin only ? [22:36] Onkar: they should be identical [22:36] !permissions > allaire [22:36] allaire, please see my private message [22:36] allaire: what folder? [22:36] is there a MC68K emulator package for ubuntu? [22:37] jrib: an home folder === nexus is now known as Guest84484 [22:37] a folder in my home dir. [22:37] allaire: chgrp, see ubottu's link for details [22:38] how could folders beginning with period (hidden folders) be removed using chown and chmod ? [22:38] I think it's failing the md5sum test [22:38] giving ::::: md5sum: WARNING: 67 of 67 listed files could not be read [22:38] unam3: you mean you don't want chown and chmod to affect them? What exactly do you want to accomplish? === ZeroCool is now known as D`o`D`o [22:38] ubottu: i went to the link for grub2, and looked it over i didn't see any way to remove entries from the boot menu. It says to edit the /etc/default/grub file. Am i missing something? [22:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:39] anyone can suggest me a good MC68000 emulator for linux? [22:39] jrmcm: what entries do you want to remove? [22:39] FardadJalili, i'm not aware of a barebones processor simulator, but there are a few emulators of *systems* that use the m68k, like E-UAE (Amiga), Basilisk2 (Mac), TIEmu (TI-89/92) [22:39] I used chown and chmod yester day to modify the rights and ownership over a folder that withhold hidden folders, and after that the hidden folders where gone [22:39] anyone know why I have to unlock the keyring three times on every boot? [22:40] unam3: what did you execute exactly? [22:40] !who | unam3 [22:40] unam3: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:40] it shows 2.6.14-xx and 2.6.25-xx, im only using 2.6.32 now [22:40] Hi, can I expect a minimal kde if I install kdebase-apps and kdebase-bin only ? [22:40] ehm [22:41] i had to update to get my wireless working [22:41] LjL, thank you [22:41] jrmcm: just remove the corresponding linux-image-* packages in synaptic [22:41] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 I think and I'm trying to get a wireless device to work how to i get it to work? [22:41] ah i knew i missing something simple [22:42] unam3: well chown and chmod won't delete files [22:42] shamimzaki, I no longer use kde if no one knows for sure here go to the #kubuntu channel or the #kde channel :) [22:42] is 10.04 stable? === bryan is now known as Guest80719 [22:42] pylix, yes it is [22:42] @pylix YEAH! [22:42] yeah its what im running [22:42] pylix, is the LTS = long term support version [22:42] 10.10 is out BTW [22:43] I know I haven't had an internet connection on this computer for a while [22:43] Braber01: use a plug in ethernet and run all updates [22:43] i have 10.10 lol i thought for some reason i had 10.01 [22:43] Okay, looks like I have the controller working, but not all of my buttons are operational. [22:43] Today, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop of a friend of mine. After a fresh install, it complained about the signing key of the extra repositories. What could be wrong? [22:43] pylix, oh :) [22:43] How can I list packages that are installed by their size? [22:43] I where inside the folder that withhold the folders and specified that chown and chmod would affect all files and folders recursively.... [22:43] @jrmcm I'm running the updates right now. [22:44] Onkar, are you still there ? [22:44] ilab_, try dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -k1,1n [22:44] ilab_: you could use aptitude for example... [22:44] coz_ just saw that thanks [22:44] jrib: low mem sys not running aptitude [22:45] ilab_, also dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n [22:45] ilab_: aptitude isn't really an intensive program [22:45] ?? [22:45] ilab_, one more dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size} ${Status}\n' | sort -k 2 -n |grep -v deinstall [22:45] braber01: I was having the same problems with my laptop, after running update manager and rebooting it started working [22:46] hi [22:46] @jrmcm sombody at a computer store told me to go to System > Admin > Restricted Hardware does that sound right? [22:46] hi [22:46] this is my first time useing xchat [22:47] can I edit some configuration files instead of runnning dpkg-reconfigure on a specific package ? [22:47] anyone know why I have to unlock the keyring three times on every boot? [22:47] evelyette: yes? [22:47] jrib, how ? [22:47] um the tcsh is the only Shell that will do spell check for you right? [22:47] evelyette: real answer: dpkg-reconfigure may do more than just edit a configuration file. What exactly do you want to accomplish [22:48] Braber01: zsh does spell checking on commands for me [22:48] jrib, I don't want to use dpkg-reconfigure on slapd ... I want a configuration file [22:48] zetheroo do you have the system on automatic login? [22:48] but don't know what dpkg-reconfigure actually does (on which files) ? [22:48] try system/admin/hardware dirvers [22:48] it might pop up might not, mine didnt [22:48] coz_: yes ... as on my other 3 Ubuntu running systems [22:48] @jrib I'm not familar with the zsh how simalr is it to bash or tcsh? [22:49] evelyette: dpkg -L slapd | grep etc <-- id use that to find the config files [22:49] evelyette: /etc/default/slapd probably [22:49] Today, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop of a friend of mine. After a fresh install, it complained about the signing key of the extra repositories. What could be wrong? [22:49] evelyette: /usr/share/doc/slapd/README.Debian.gz is probably enlightening too [22:50] zetheroo, that may be why,,howeve,,, right click on the network manage applet and selec "Edit connections" then click on the wireless tab,, be sure you wireless network is slected and click on "Edit",,, then at the bottom on the new window ..tick the "Available to all users" [22:50] zetheroo, I t hink that is still valid [22:51] jrib, hm, ok I've got the files but what would be the best way to check for one option in particular [22:51] Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? ... this is the option ? [22:51] evelyette: probably check slapd documentation [22:51] zetheroo, the only problem with that option is that it may leave the system somewhat unsecured [22:51] So, I just deleted /usr/share/icons/* recursively. ;_; Any suggestions? === jeff_ is now known as Guest25864 [22:52] earthmeLon, well that should leave the system with no icons yes? [22:52] coz_: ok thanks, I'll do that. Another thing that happens every so often is when asked for my sudo password and upon entering it in and clicking on "Authenticate", nothing happens ... the "Authenticate" window just sits there with the text input field having disappeared .... [22:52] zetheroo, that one I am not sure of [22:52] coz_ yes, but it was done without understanding the true consequences [22:53] Im trying to figure out the best way to restore myhorrible mistake [22:53] How to list all packages that depend on a particular package? [22:53] earthmeLon, welll someone could upload the default folder [22:53] hi . is there a linux program that can automatically scan for all wma and convert them to mp3 format without manually doing each one one at a time ? [22:53] earthmeLon, that should do it once you reboot [22:54] I have lost audio volume control. How do you reinstall audio packages without a complete system reinstall? [22:54] What about packages I've downloaded with icons? Those are also gone coz_ [22:54] earthmeLon, well not sure ...I have not experimented with deleting the icons folder [22:54] nellwee: There may be a script someone has written for that particular purpose but ... finding it, well I dono... [22:54] earthmeLon, you may have to get the default folder from someone and start again [22:54] ubuntu-it [22:54] The *nix way to do something to a bunch of files is a short shell script, though if you're asking that question it's probably not an appropriate solution. Why do you want to convert all the files? You will lose quality. [22:55] coz_ Yeah, I know. I was thinking maybe some kind of dpkg command might check for missing files such as icons [22:55] running 10.10 i386 and having trouble with nvidia g210m. can someone look at my xorg.conf and see if i'm doing something wrong [22:55] nellwee: google [22:55] #ubuntu-it [22:55] earthmeLon, off hand I cant think of a command to do that [22:55] earthmeLon, is this ubuntu 10.10? [22:55] usr13, ok will try google thanks for your imput [22:56] salvatore: /join #ubuntu-it [22:56] earthmeLon, if it is 10.10 I have a deafult icons folder [22:57] IdleOne grazie... sono nuovo, ps posso impostarlo come avvio fisso? [22:57] Guest25864, what do you mean lost volume control? Do you mean the volume control applet in your task bar? [22:57] earthmeLon: dpkg -S /usr/share/icons/ reinstall those packages [22:57] what is the cmd for updating the grub bootloader? [22:57] can anyone help me out here im new to this i just got it [22:58] Guest202496, if so reinstall the indicator applet [22:58] earthmeLon, I am uploading the default icons folder now [22:59] both the task bar and sound in system preferences give me the message "waiting for sound system to respond" instead of giving me the sound control panel. [22:59] what is the cmd for updating the grub bootloader? [22:59] coz_ That's really great. Thanks [22:59] jrmcm: update-grub [22:59] earthmeLon, in the mean time try this command dpkg -S /usr/share/icons | cut -d: -f1 | sed 's/,//g' | xargs sudo aptitude reinstall [22:59] AuGold2: you're banned, please join #ubuntu-ops if you believe that to be in error [23:00] ths idle, i missed the - [23:00] thx* [23:00] earthmeLon, if that command doesnt work try this one sudo aptitude reinstall `dpkg -S /usr/share/icons | cut -d: f1 | sed 's/,//g'` [23:01] earthmeLon, get all of the marks on that command ,,,I would just copy and paste it into the terminal [23:01] I believe something is corrupted but lost the name of the everything package to do an apt-get install "everything" === Ginbun2 is now known as ginbuntu === chee is now known as Guest45331 === Guest45331 is now known as Wes_t [23:03] earthmeLon, did that command work? [23:04] wassup ma brothas === garry is now known as comradegarry [23:05] comradega-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-y [23:05] coz_ http://pastebin.com/STnGnCqp [23:05] Today, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop of a friend of mine. After a fresh install, it complained about the signing key of the extra repositories. What could be wrong? [23:05] earthmeLon, last resort..here is the package http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/icons.tar.gz decompress it then open terminal gksudo nautilus ..maneuver to /usr/share and cut and paste that foler in ,,,,I am only leaving this package on dropbox until you have finished downloaiding it === vxcvxcv is now known as DaZ [23:05] I'm using PAN for Newsgroups. Where are the pics going that download? I need the PATH? [23:05] earthmeLon, you will have to reinstall chromium borswer [23:06] ասդ [23:06] after using the update-manager in Xubuntu, clicking the "restart now" button yields nothing. I have to manually click "restart" from the shutdown menu [23:06] what is up with dat [23:06] coz_ i've gotten it [23:06] earthmeLon, you downloaded the package? [23:06] yes, it's finished downloading coz_ [23:07] earthmeLon, ok I am delteting it [23:07] holaaaaaaaaaa [23:07] helaaaaaaaa [23:07] alguien q me ayude [23:07] belaaaaaaaaa [23:07] !es [23:07] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:07] belal1: please [23:07] yo no se [23:07] earthmeLon, that still isnt going to have the chromium browser stuff...you will likely have to reinstall chromium browser [23:08] no hablo en espanol senor [23:08] Well, it's doing that for every package. I need to remove some ppa packages . One sec [23:08] belal1: the spanish message was at the person who was *actually speaking spanish* -- ie, not you [23:08] earthmeLon, i would reboot first [23:08] sorry [23:08] :( [23:08] earthmeLon, let those be recognized and then see what needs reinstalled [23:08] (lol) [23:09] earthmeLon, ok I have to break here...but I will return in about 30 minutes...if here...let me know how that went [23:09] guys, I'm evaluating the ubuntu one [23:09] and I'm kindof dissappointed [23:10] running xubuntu and when i go to user settings and make a new user it never saves my changes [23:10] Nevermind, I got it. [23:10] =-O [23:12] I have a question about Ubuntu [23:12] mrcheesete0 how great! [23:12] I'm considering getting it, and switching from my Windows 7 to it, but how do I know if all my hardware, and my programs will be compatible? [23:12] you defnetly is in the right channel. [23:12] .ask [23:12] !ask [23:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:12] mrcheesete0: You can download a live cd and run Ubuntu from there, without touching your installation [23:12] mrcheesete0, thats easy. download a desktop version of ubuntu and do a live try [23:13] mrcheesete0, just try it and u will see pretty soon [23:13] so there is a way to download it and test it to see if it works with everything before fully installing it? [23:13] mrcheesete0: yep thats what the live cd is for [23:13] Glowball, mrcheesete0 live cd says nothing about restricted drivers [23:13] mrcheesete0: jsut put it in, reboot, and choose to test it [23:14] Afternoon peeps. So i installed the firewall util from SPM. Is there a way to see what port are being used at the moment. [23:14] BostX: It gives a notice whether restricted drivers for your hardware are available, though. [23:15] hello [23:15] also when choosing 32 or 64 bit does it matter? I currently use a 64-bit install of Win7, because thats what came with my desktop when I bought it [23:15] maco, Glowball, mrcheesete0 I just had a minor isue with broadcom wifi driver [23:15] anyone here use ubuntu for video production ? [23:15] Afternoon peeps. So i installed the firewall util from SPM. Is there a way to see what port are being used at the moment.? [23:16] jrib, ok I got these strings: http://dpaste.com/279603/ ... how can I change them now with debconf ? [23:16] maco, Glowball, mrcheesete0 It was that straight forward but it was just a little disurbance [23:16] mrcheesete0: not really... there's some stuff that a few years ago was tougher to get working 64bit (flash, wine) but nowadays its not been a problem for me. the warnings against 64bit are mostly to keep people who dont know what an architecture is from getting the one that doesnt work on (practically) everything [23:16] lwizaedl: They say to use PiTiVi [23:16] BostX: Anyway, he won't know without a real install. But if things on the live cd don't even work properly, he know he doesn't have to bother trying it. [23:17] evelyette: I don't know. I'd suggest just consulting slapd documentation on the appropriate options in the configuration file if you don't want to use dpkg-reconfigure [23:18] maco, Glowball, mrcheesete0 he should try! In my case I did the installation with a normal network cable and then [23:18] In Xchat, how do I get the auto-complete to go to a colon rather than a comma? It's not the same as in Windows :[ [23:18] maco, Glowball, mrcheesete0 and then it downloaded the restricted driver automaticaly [23:18] A_New_Server: It's somewhere in the settings, I'm sure. But I'm not using XChat right now, so I can't tell exactly where it is [23:19] BostX: But it already tells you when you're on the live cd when there are restricted drivers available :) [23:20] Glowball, do you know if the actual thing to open it is called "Settings"? Because the Xchat faq used Settings too while on mine I see preferences (And I know they mean pretty much the same, but just making sure) [23:20] A_New_Server: no clue, sorry :) [23:20] Glowball, sadface. [23:20] I don't even have XChat installed anymore [23:20] cero [23:21] But I'm sure most of the users in here do, so just wait for somebody else [23:21] is there any irc client for linux that is compatible with mirc's scripts? [23:21] I have xchat installed, what's wrong? [23:21] belal1: No. But mIRC works quite well in Wine. Unicode doesn't, sounds don't, leaving just some minor annoyances [23:22] <_16BitSubsystem_> i'm having a problem with the pidgin im client [23:22] i'd like to get away from using wine :/ [23:23] hello , i have some problem with compiling kernel , who can help ? [23:23] s [23:23] !kernel > nkh [23:23] nkh, please see my private message [23:23] belal1: don't use mirc then. There are plenty of nice irc clients for linux [23:24] <_16BitSubsystem_> when i attemp to connect to my messenger account it says me that can't validate soe kind of certificate or something [23:24] TnQ !;) lol [23:24] belal1: I'm afraid you'll also have to get away from using mIRC script too :( [23:24] anyone here with an intel 5100 chipset finding wireless does not work so well? [23:25] aww shucks =/ [23:25] no more xdcc =/ [23:25] im downloading the CD then I'll burn it with PowerISO and use the liveCD [23:25] but once I'm in it, how willI check if there are any non-conmpatible items [23:25] _16BitSubsystem_: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [23:25] belal1: However, there is a project of some guy trying to make an mSL compiler, but it seems to be dead for quite some time, at version 0.07 alpha.. :P [23:26] <_16BitSubsystem_> rww: ubuntu 10.10 LOB [23:26] lol [23:26] that's not going to help, but thanks [23:26] _16BitSubsystem_: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy pidgin" [23:27] @_16BitSubsystem_, i believe it requires you to accept an SSL cert from MSN usually it asks you on first connection if you wish to allow it. (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/install-pidgin-276-in-ubuntu-with-msn.html) Posted 2days ago so it much be a recent problem [23:27] _16BitSubsystem_: CeilingKitten is correct. There's also an update to Ubuntu to fix it that's either released or about to be released; the pastebin will say whether you have it ;) [23:28] <_16BitSubsystem_> rww: CeilingKitten: thanks a lot [23:28] no problem =], i quite like pidgin myself, but i was having some issues with msn in previous releases. Might give it a go again. [23:29] if you want to be elite, use bitlbee for msn [23:30] belal1: Actually, I talked to the developer once. He has already implemented quite a lot identifiers, the reason of its low version number is mainly because there are no events, just aliases. But once the most important ones are implemented, it actually is quite usable for daily, non-specific scripting usage :) [23:30] _16BitSubsystem_: The relevant Ubuntu bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/676972 , btw. [23:31] <_16BitSubsystem_> !!! [23:31] @amoko ah another multi im client, might give it ago. =] thanks for the link. [23:31] <_16BitSubsystem_> 3 hours left for upgrading!! [23:31] ^ouch [23:31] is non working n wlan with iwlagn a current known defect? [23:31] on 10.10 [23:31] <_16BitSubsystem_> i'm gonna cancel that [23:32] <_16BitSubsystem_> why the 10.10 has a lot of bugs more than another versions and other operative systems that i had seem in my whole life. [23:32] _16BitSubsystem_: It is fixed in the newest Pidgin 2.7.7, and there is a workaround available for older versions. [23:33] <_16BitSubsystem_> Glowball: thank you [23:33] =| lol you all are making me doubt about the install of 10.10 im doing right now lol [23:33] <_16BitSubsystem_> ok thanks everybody helped me [23:33] update or fresh, CeilingKitten ? [23:34] <_16BitSubsystem_> CelingKitten: are you installing it [23:34] @earthmeLon fresh off the CD [23:34] <_16BitSubsystem_> well i must recommend you [23:34] <_16BitSubsystem_> dont do it [23:34] <_16BitSubsystem_> but [23:34] installing as we speak =], my next course of action is LAMP and how to install "install.php" packages [23:34] _16BitSubsystem_: In fact, I didn't encounter any major bugs in 10.10, so I'd call it coincidence. But it's a fact that older versions have had at least 6 more months of testing and bug hunting, so they are probably (a little bit) more stable by now, yes. [23:34] <_16BitSubsystem_> do everything you want [23:35] 10.04 was good. I upgraded to 10.10 and had some gfx card issues but fixed them [23:35] <_16BitSubsystem_> Glowball: hmm, you got a point there. [23:35] <_16BitSubsystem_> anyway [23:35] well im planning to run it headless (no monitor), on LAN with a php file manager that has filetagging supported [23:35] <_16BitSubsystem_> they must verify and fix all bugs as the developers can [23:36] <_16BitSubsystem_> before releasenew versions === quiesense is now known as quiescens [23:36] unless someone knows a great filesystem or FUSE that has tagging, =\ all the ones i have found thus far lose all tags when moved or renamed, metadata, etc,. =\ maybe i need a database of some sort for filetagging. Any recommendations? [23:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> i mean i'm very grateful with ubuntu [23:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> must to fix that [23:37] _16BitSubsystem_: They do. But before the final release, there is only a very small number of beta testers, so a lot of bugs get overlooked. If you don't want to be an early adopter (and encounter a few more bugs than you might expect), put your 6 month update schedule 2 months behind Ubuntu's [23:38] (So update to the April release in June, and update to the October release in December) [23:38] im useing a laptop with an intell atom processor is there app that monitors/controls the CPU clocking and works with ubuntu 10.10? [23:38] <_16BitSubsystem_> Glowball: thank you [23:38] obviously it is [23:39] i'll go back to windows then, n wlan is needed [23:39] <_16BitSubsystem_> i dont like windows [23:39] !info cpufrequtils | Dreki [23:39] Dreki: cpufrequtils (source: cpufrequtils): utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature. In component universe, is optional. Version 007-1 (maverick), package size 37 kB, installed size 272 kB [23:40] btquark have you tried ndiswrapper to install using the windows driver? [23:40] no, i thought those days were over? [23:40] _16BitSubsystem_, who does that is at all a real geek [23:41] bastidrazor thanks [23:41] <_16BitSubsystem_> nit-wit: doing what? [23:41] <_16BitSubsystem_> exactly? [23:41] Liking Windows, he means ;) [23:41] <_16BitSubsystem_> lol lol [23:41] <_16BitSubsystem_> oh [23:41] <_16BitSubsystem_> got it [23:42] I like it for helping the poor souls who are stuck with it for whatever reasons, to much work to lock it down and have a safe OS [23:43] <_16BitSubsystem_> nit-wit: me too [23:43] <_16BitSubsystem_> it's a great community [23:44] _16BitSubsystem_, W7 is not bas though in general it just is a huge target for nasty-ware [23:44] Glowball actually i rather meant klugdy unsupported tinkering for standard features [23:44] bad" [23:44] <_16BitSubsystem_> true [23:44] <_16BitSubsystem_> Are Jimmy Wales out of bussiness? [23:44] btQuark: he asked what nit-wit meant [23:44] I cant touch any windows thats not xp =\ [23:45] CeilingKitten, why? [23:45] how about Computer Games? all my games have the suggested settings for Windows, or some have Windows & Mac, but none mention Linux [23:45] i use everything i have to, anyhow theres a preference for unix, and since steve currently puts me off a little with his bad hardware offerings and too much of itunes coupled with too little of unix, i thought i'll try ubuntu again [23:46] I run Win XP Corporate/Embedded Hybrid, and everything runs in a sandbox. =] [23:46] mrcheesete0, As i said those stuck with it [23:46] one cant live without windows can one [23:46] 17 seconds from power button to desktop, and 6 seconds from shutdown to complete power off, really good for a windows xp machine on 256,b of ram [23:46] <_16BitSubsystem_> CeilingKitten: do you mean sandbox of cryengine? [23:47] nit wit [23:47] what do you mean? [23:47] CeilingKitten, Xp does run fast that is for sure sanboxing is a good idea is it comodo === jarek is now known as Guest40161 [23:47] no @_16BitSubsystem_ (Sandboxie.com) [23:47] i wonder what ubuntu thinks about openstep - now that they seem to be fast on the way to reproducing its looks [23:47] without the ideas.. [23:47] can remote desktop in Ubuntu connect to Windowz machines [23:47] <_16BitSubsystem_> CeilingKitten: ok === soulzie is now known as transience [23:47] nah, i <3 sandboxie, been using it before sandboxing became a windows practice. === transience is now known as soulzie [23:48] zetheroo yes use terminal server client [23:48] linux has has chroot/jail sandboxes forever though lol, windows is always so far behind =] [23:48] has had* [23:48] anyhow windows xp with virtualbox is really nasty fast, especially if used with virtualbox suspend/resume [23:48] as if chroot would be any form of security [23:48] CeilingKitten, I'm not real familiar with doing that I have only seen the option in Comodo, hey it works for you use it I say;) [23:49] r007: so not through the gui? [23:49] zetheroo yes it uses a gui [23:49] i like ubuntu for init=/bin/bash anyway - to completely root&reset a system with windows you usually need to step to bigger loops [23:49] see you all nobody needs help here [23:50] zetheroo should be under internet [23:50] r007: Remote Desktop Viewer? [23:50] ok, so a few weeks ago I upgraded my gcc to 4.5 [23:50] btQuark, you want real speed, use Minlogon from XP Embedded, it strips out almost everything in winlogon, no user accounts, runs as system, combined with write filter driver for flashcards, or horm (hibernate once reboot many). [23:50] zetheroo that will work too [23:50] I still have 4.4 installed, and I need to reset 4.4 as the default compiler [23:50] anyone here run two monitors and actually get flash able to stay full screened in one? [23:50] it's easy to do in windows, but i'm sure it's been done in linux [23:50] hmm, I installed the maverick server, installed openbox, and some things.. not sure when it appeared, but must of been with the vmtools I think, , but i have a directory in my home dir called (null) [23:50] anyone know howto set it so that 4.4 is always the default? [23:50] erm.... obv. cant remove it as it gets a syntactical error... WTRF is that all abt? [23:51] I use normal linux commands and all that.. any ideas anyone???? [23:51] dont say i gotta go on a different server distro immediately due to this sigh [23:52] r007: ok I found Terminal Server Client ... [23:52] ok you've got some weird folder called null [23:52] how's that affecting things? [23:52] soulzie: The directory is called "(null)"? Try tab-completing to delete it, that'll automatically escape things [23:53] do I have to start samba after installing it with synaptic? [23:54] What is the best partitioning/file formats for use with a solid state drive? [23:55] sweet [23:55] problemo solved [23:55] r007: RDV has SSH and VNC .... I tried with SSH but no luck finding the machine on the domain [23:56] zetheroo you want rdp or rdpv5 [23:56] zetheroo ssh is unlikely to be running on a windows box [23:56] r007: oh ok ... so RDV ain't going to do it ... Terminal Server Client has those protocols though [23:58] Samba issue with read speed. winxp can write to samba server at 55mb/s...but can only read at 25mb/s. Ive been messing with buffers, tcp_nodelay, hard drive read aheads etc... any ideas? [23:58] hey r007 i have tunneld the 3389 rdp protocol behind the 22 via my ssh server (low cost vpn varaint) [23:58] I can't find the Xorg.conf file [23:58] and i'm running the most recent version of ubuntu [23:58] can anyone help me? [23:59] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:59] Teth: find / | grep Xorg.conf [23:59] here you go [23:59] technikfreak yeah you can tunnel but zetheroo asked how to connect to rdp [23:59] but please be carefull [23:59] Very_Cool: the fucked up thing is that I already did that :( [23:59] find /etc/X11/ -name "Xorg.conf" who uses grep?
