airtonixkismet, you need to open ports00:14
* Skapare looks around00:14
bazhang!partner | rockingwing00:15
ubotturockingwing: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" »00:15
airtonixkismet, was that not obvious?00:15
eroby@bazhang wht?00:15
bazhangeroby, you want a cd shipped to you?00:15

Skapare22 is the default for ssh ... but you'd best change that to something obscure if you want to open it to the whole internet00:16

betaminekismet: see if the the server software is listening on port: sudo 'lsof -i:$PORT'00:17
paperwhat do i do with a .tar.gz file once downloaded?00:18
PiciSkapare: No need really. I highly suggest installing fail2ban with ssh, as it will ban any host that fails to authenticate a set number of times.  And it works as soon as you install, no extra config needed00:18
betaminecorrection: sudo -i:$PORT00:18

FrozenFire[work]intrader, Have you tried removing the fstab entry? The filesystem should automatically be detected and mounted. Perhaps it's some of the settings in fstab, such as the *mask options, may be mucking about with your permissions.00:19
elviroloI'd like to report a bug but I don't know which package it's coming from, how do i do that ?00:19
betamineremove dollar sign00:19
bazhangpaper, use the package manager to install, not tar.gz from the internet00:19
kismetjsvc    719 root   39u  IPv6   4512      0t0  TCP localhost:9160 (LISTEN)00:19
paperis the a way or something i could read?00:19
betaminekismet: and jsvc is the name of the app?00:20
bazhangpaper, sure, but it would be helpful if you explained what package you wished to install first.00:20
FrozenFire[work]intrader, Beyond that, I can't fathom what the problem would be.00:20
paperits a cgi proxy00:20
thunkeepaper: tar tvzf <file>00:20
kismetbetamine, could be... it is a java application so i guess it stands for java server bla bla00:20
kismetbetamine, it is cassandra (a database application)00:21
elvirolohelp anyone?00:21
betaminekismet: If I had to guess I'd say the problem is in your cassandra configuration00:22
studentzHelp me I cannot get access neither gnome nor xterm ?00:22
Picielvirolo: Tell us what the bug is, maybe we can suggest the package na,e.00:22
Krunalboth kubuntu and ubuntu are the same as far as OS goes correct? Just the GUI is different..KDE vs GNOME? does all software install the same? drivers etc..00:22
kismetbetamine,  Ok I'll have a check.. the funny part is if i am on the same machine i can connect to it... but over the network it doesn't work00:23
MarkiveHi Helpers, is it posible to run kde in ubuntu or is it gnome all the way?00:23
_jesse_Markive: you can run kde00:23
bazhangMarkive, just install kubuntu-desktop00:23
kismetbetamine, cassandra-cli -host 192.168.56.102 -port 916000:23
bazhangKrunal, different apps but same under neath00:23
Markivewill I get  some kind of choice or log in menu to pick which gui?00:23
kismetbetamine,  does not work but cassandra-cli -host localhost -port 9160 does from the same machine00:23
bazhangMarkive, yes00:23
_jesse_Markive: yeah at the login screen you'll choose which session to use00:23
betaminekismet: check if your router00:24
_jesse_it's along the bottom00:24
bazhangMarkive, lubuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop as well00:24
Markive_jesse_ and bazhang thankyou very much , merry christmas00:24
elviroloPici, well actually, some applets (namely gnome-power-manager and nm-applet) and programs (skype) don't launch themselves at startup, although their names are check in the system -> preferences -> start up apps dialog00:24
kismetbetamine, i can connect to each machine via ssh... and from each machine to the other one vie ssh and ping works between those machines as welll00:24
Krunalbazhang, the reason why i ask because i installed ubuntu 10.10 and it picked up my wirelesss NIC, kubuntu did not00:25
Skapareanyone know how/where to configure X to disregard mouse wheel rolling, while still leaving the middle button (in the wheel) working?00:26
Skapareeven better if it can be configured to do this only in terminal windows00:27
IrreducibilisSo today I had to fix my wubi-installed 10.04 installation, because an update broke grub. And this led me to realize that it's probably time to migrate to a full dual-boot install.00:27
wowanameQuestion: I have .fr-FA3QBx, .fr-ILEeDq, and .fr-M21DNz directories in /Pictures... Are these necessary?00:28
IrreducibilisMy question is, what is the best way to go about doing this? I understand that 10.04 cannot be converted to a full install on its own, so I am mostly concerned with this: What "can" be backed up, and what is the safest way to resize my windows partition such that I don't lose anything?00:28
frobicathm00:29
betaminekismet: are the other computers windows or linux btw00:29
fatharrahman1hello00:29
Dr_WillisIrreducibilis:  if you use a live cd with the right tools. and a usb hard drive. you could image the whole HD to a usb hd. :) but that  may need a rather big usbhd00:29
elviroloI'm sorry to insist, but I reinstalled maverick from scratch, and I'm still experiencin the same bug00:30
IrreducibilisI have such a thing on hand.00:31
Markive_jesse_ is the package i'm looking for is kde called "kde-full" ?00:31
wowanameDid anyone hear my question?00:31
wowanameor is everyone busy00:32
wowanamei'll wait :P00:32
Irreducibiliswowaname, I honestly... I dont think its really needed00:32
wowanameok00:32
betaminekismet: a hacky workaround is to use an ssh tunnel00:32
IrreducibilisBut someone else should answer00:32
IrreducibilisI'm not extremely linux-skilled.00:32
wowanamefor some reason all they contain is my tree all over again00:32
wowanamefull sized00:32
wowanameactually, just /documents/....00:32

wowanameLol dmg00:33

IrreducibilisIf its nothing but empty folders, then feel free to remove.00:33

Markive_jesse_  is it the "Kubuntu Plasma Desktop system"?00:34
studentzHeeeeeelp  I cannot get access  neither gnome nor xterm  Please  Hel00:34
wowanameit's probably from windows for some reason00:34
_jesse_elijah: dmg's are 'image' files in OSX, you can use dmg2img to convert00:34
Irreducibiliswowaname, I'd keep it there, just to be sure00:34
wowanamei could rename it and see what happens00:35
_jesse_Markive: haha I dunno what it's title is, let's see00:35
wowanamelike add a _ at the end00:35
elijah_jesse_: Does that make another file?00:35
IrreducibilisWhat happens to be the best way to resize my windows partition without causing Windows 7 to become unbootable?00:35
_jesse_Markive: yeah that's it00:35
_jesse_elijah: yeah00:35
IrreducibilisSo I can migrate from wubi to a full dual boot00:36
Markive_jesse_ thanks very much for your time 10/10 for the help ;)00:36
Dr_WillisIrreducibilis:  windows 7 can resize its own partitions.00:36
Irreducibilissafely?00:36

IrreducibilisI'll do that then. And I won't lose my Installation then?00:37

FrozenFire[work]Adiman423, If you need a GUI tool for administrating your database, there is the mysql-admin package.00:52
ringoi have the most recent version of OSX 10.6.500:52
Adiman423ringo, you could do it but you would need virtualbox00:52
Adiman423right00:52
ringowhat is virtualbox?00:52
Adiman423Frozenfire: would I then download mysql-admin package from synaptic package manager?00:53

Markive_jesse_ hi again, i've installed kubuntu desktop, when my machine passes grub I can see it says kubuntu but when it boots i'm in gnome, I didn't get an option when I logged in.. any ideas?01:03
FrozenFire[work]Pupazzetto, It is recommended that you never login as root. Most things should be done using sudo.01:04
rwwtripelb: Or within gedit: Edit > Preferences > Plugins -> Enable "Sort". Edit > Sort.01:04
Pupazzettoi agree, the fact is that i'm not in the sudoers list :|01:04
studentzintrader No my password is OK. When I change to a wrong password I tell me wrong password01:04
Adiman423sorry folks, I would love to stay around, but I have to go to bet01:04
Adiman423sorry folks, I would love to stay around, but I have to go to bed01:04
_jesse_Markive: it'll be at the login screen, where you type in your password01:05
Markiveooer it looks like i'm in gnome but there are new apps in the app button01:05
brophatis there a better way to start the gui from command line other than startx?01:05
FrozenFire[work]Pupazzetto, You can login as root via the recovery console available in the GRUB boot list.01:05
Markiveif I can see K3B am I in kde?01:05
sacarlsonPupazzetto: there must be a user you know that is?  if not you will have to boot with a live boot cd and modify the sudoer list01:05
FrozenFire[work]Be careful, though.01:05
_jesse_Markive: I honestly don't run KDE so I couldn't tell you for sure01:05
Pupazzettouhm ok01:05
FrozenFire[work]sacarlson, a Live CD is not needed.01:05
intraderstudentz, sorry, try again to ask the question. I don't know how to help you further. Do you select gnome?01:05
wumao101can anyone suggest best practice for configuring sudoer list?01:06
Markive_jesse_ thanks for all you help01:06
jolarenI want to start a program upon startup but I don't know how to.. how do I do this+?01:06
sacarlsonFrozenFire[work]: your right Pupazzetto, you don't have to boot with live cd just single user boot01:06
Pupazzettono, it's a minimal install from a usb key :)01:06

studentzlet me do it. What I'm looking for en .profile?01:08
FrozenFire[work]Paulo39, It's not really possible, so far as I know, to grow a VDI.01:09
FrozenFire[work]Except to create a new, larger disk, and then copy the data over.01:09
intraderstudentz, execute line by line, and see what is blowing up.01:09
FrozenFire[work]Then use something like ntfsresize.01:09
intraderstudentz, trye asking again as I am perhaps misleading you to waste your time.01:10

Shortyok so anyone wanna give me some more suggestions on how to get ubuntu 10.10 working correctly on my laptop01:22
tonsofpcsKrunal: I guess not...01:22
* Shorty is a total ubuntu n00b01:22
zetheroook ... so according to synaptic I have the latest Java installed ... but FF is obviously not seeing it that way01:22
quantShorty, what's the problem?01:22
ringorussjr08: what hd storage type should i choose on vituralbox? Fixed-sized storage or dynamically expanding storage?01:22
Shortyeverything installs fine but after grub my backlight wont come on01:22
Shortyso i cannot seen anything01:23
Shortytried re installing 5 times01:23
[biabia]quant: how do i see which ubuntu release i am using01:23
Shortyincluding downloading during intallation all the updates01:23
quantShorty, maybe incompatible laptop, not sure01:23
intraderAnyone, I have a problem with FAT usb sticks as described in  http://paste.ubuntu.com/536885/. Hopefully it is clear. It used to work in 9.04, 9.10, early 10.04 and early 10.10. Works fine in fedora, suse, and mandrake as well as on the mac01:23
quant[biabia], except for uname -a, not sure01:23
guamparingo: depends on what you want, dinamically expanding storage reports a virtual size to the guest thats all01:23
gnr hi, how can I, define a cell using another cell, while having text in the main cell? eg... This is a report from =B1 for =C1 user.01:23
zetheroojava.com says: Your Java version is Version 6 Update 20.  ... but in synaptic I have updated to 2201:24
atxqso I have a gamepad and want to use it as a mouse01:24
quantShorty, try booting in that recovery mode perhaps01:24
atxqanyone know how to do this?01:24

quantgnr, this is ubuntu support channel01:24
gnrquant:i might be lucky01:25
ringoguampa: im totally new to this so idk what that means lol. just wanting to test out ubuntu 10.10 using virtual box so you let me know what will be best, fixed or dynamic01:25
quantringo, any of those01:25
Shortyi tried recovery01:25
Shortyi tried root01:25
Shortyi tried all i could think01:25

ringoguampa: ok i have 98 gb left on my disk so i guess ill just do the dynamic01:26
guamparingo: fixed means if you want a 1Tb disk the file will be 1Tb on your real machine, dynamic disks grow as you fill them01:26
Roasted_is it possible to vnc into a livecd? my buddy is 600 miles away troubleshooting something, and he booted to an ubuntulivecd and forwarded the port on his router for vnc but I cant remote in. I was just curious if the livecd has a limitation or not.01:27
zetherooquant: and can you see what this says: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=101:27
tonsofpcsRoasted_: it's probably blocked in the firewall on the livecd by default01:27
tonsofpcshe probably needs to open 5900 to all there01:27
quantzetheroo, indeed I can01:27

quantzetheroo, it's 22, you're right01:33
zetherooquant: hmm01:34

MaximLevitskynewhcj: run windows applications01:38

Roastedsacarlson, teamviewer is working01:42
xanguaIsh_: you can upgrade from 8.04 to 10.0401:42
sacarlsonRoasted: ok so what isn't working?01:42
Roastedsacarlson, teamviewer is nothing short of awesome. no need to forward ports, works across mac linux windows. its great.01:42
Roastedsacarlson, standard VNC built into Ubuntu wasnt working01:42
Roastedsacarlson, teamviewer works fine. he installed it on the livecd.01:42
Roastedsacarlson, Im not sure if its a livecd limitation or not, or if its a setup thing on his end with using a firewall, smoothwall, etc01:42
tonsofpcsFlannel: just making it clear01:42
tonsofpcssome people hear that and go "oh, i can use this app! yay!"01:43
sacarlsonRoasted: I've used vnc across platforms also including windows even with a browser interface01:43
tonsofpcsand then try and fail hard01:43
Roastedsacarlson, that's great - I have too - but HERE on a livecd, VNC has failed. Teamviewer works great as we speak.01:43
Roastedsacarlson, not sure if its cause of the livecd or what.01:43
sacarlsonRoasted: I asume your problem is you are atempting to control one remote software with another that is a different protocal01:43
Roastedsacarlson, even still01:43

MrWhite1127ive always gotten freeze ups with amarok.01:48
K350MrWhite1127: To be honest. Ubuntu is great. But there'll be some learning process and you'll have to deal quite a lot with it for some time. Then you'll propably miss your windows. But in the long run it's really worth it. Give youserlf at least  more then 6 months before you finaly make up your mind.01:48
sacarlsonMrWhite1127: for one thing dvd authoring or video editing you might want more power than a 1.6ghz n270 but ubuntu has all that.  and it would be faster in normal operation than windows 7.  takes less hourse power to run normal stuf01:48

Zero_BurnWhat is the sudo02:02
IdleOne!sudo | Zero_Burn02:02
ubottuZero_Burn: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo02:02
MrWhite1127anon33_ : Its used for logging purposes if you develop your own .apks or if you installed an app and its not functioning properly you can fire up the android SDK and connect the two and figure out whats not tickin right.02:03
Zero_BurnIdleOne> !<ubottu>thank much!!!02:04
anon33_MrWhite1127: simple question - if my device is rooted, shouldn't i have a drive that appears to mimic "system"? everything that pops up is either the sdcard, data, or internal storage02:04

MrWhite1127anon33_: No you shouldnt. IF you see those folders you mentioned then everything is correct. Rooting just consists of giving you /su privlages. Which allows you to modify the files. But They must be done Via the Bootloader and must be cooked into a custom rom.02:08

sacarlsonIsh_: I kept the original boot so I could move back until I fixed the new stuf02:15
Zero_BurnThe CD Installing linux Server 10.04 Is not bootting what is doing02:15
quantcreyato, right click on the panel then add then choose the one for brightness etc.02:15
fleshwormxmuahaha02:15
Ish_sacarlson, i have that option?02:16
New1and how do i choose to upgrate less than 5 MB ?02:16
creyatoquant: I did. It doesn't register what I have or something. It just stays in one spot and won't let me move the slider.  :-/02:16
quantcreyato, what graphics card do you have?02:16
creyatoIntel N10 I believe.02:16
nit-witNew1, please explain more clearly02:16
sacarlsonIsh_: only if you backed up your original or installed onto an unused or new partition02:16
ubuntuhi, I want to use nfs what is mount --bind good for?02:17
creyatoquant: Intel N10 I believe... The brightness applet doesn't even acknolwedge that I can adjust the brightness02:17
=== kasper_ is now known as eights
sacarlsonIsh_: it took me weeks to fix most of my apps02:17
creyatoquant: It just shows a N/A sign in the icon and the slider is all the way down.02:17
quantcreyato, I can do it in ATI Catalyst, perhaps try to do it if you have something similar for your graphics card02:17
nit-witcreyato, try the fn key down and the left/right arrows on keyboard02:18
sacarlsonIsh_:  you might try virtualbox to test all your apps you now use before you install on a real partition02:18
quantcreyato, you can also try xgamma -gamma 0.5 to 1.5 etc., but I don't find that satisfying02:18
creyatonit-wit: The FN functions depend on the keyboard layout. My layout is setup so FN+Left/Right is for volume. Which works perfectly.02:19
New1instead of using Update Manager wich want to download 161.1 of MB i want to use Terminal to update all the files less than 5 MB becouse right now it will take me an hour to do so02:19

phusion__hey guys. I have a server with two NIC's in it. one is onboard (2x1Gbps, 2x10GigE fiber onboard, 4x1Gbps add-in card). I'm finding with the add-in card, interfaces are being named differently upon each boot. For instance, 3 out of the 4 interfaces on the add-in card seem to stay as eth4, eth5, eth6, however the 4th interface tends to switch between eth0_rename and eth1_rename upon boot. Any idea how to stop this?02:44

=== slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn
newbyx86eh oh well04:02
newbyx86thanks for the help fellas04:02
FrozenFireDonJuan: There are a few solutions.04:02
bazhangGuest47299, for 3D likely the proprietary one04:02
FrozenFireDonJuan: Firstly, you might consider a "Network Installation"04:02
Guest47299bazhang, thats the one from the website right? sorry its late for me04:02
bazhangGuest47299, from hardware drivers though, not the website04:03
antipopGnea https://gist.github.com/71755204:03
FrozenFireDonJuan: Or, you could write the installer to your thumbdrive and try booting from it. Be sure that you enable booting from USB in your BIOS.04:03
DonJuanFrozenFire: I looked into that, but most of the processes were for booting either from a dedicated server or from another Linux machine.04:03

FrozenFire!caps | nimbiotics04:03
ubottunimbiotics: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.04:03
bazhangGuest47299, keep in mind you'll need to reconfigure it once there is a kernel update; the open source works great here, but I dont play 3D games so you mileage may vary04:03
studentzthunkee done. Now what is the next step?04:04
thunkeestudentz: sudo start gdm04:04
Guest47299bazhang, so your saying for 3d I should install the one from the website I know about the kernel parts04:04
DonJuanFrozenFire: I've got a laptop with Windows 7 installed on it, but not really wanting to mess with it too much as it's not mine. I wrote the .iso to the thumb drive (one that I used to install openSUSE on my desktop) but it's just not working. I enabled "Boot from USB" in BIOS, but the option doesn't show up in the drive boot order.04:04
Gneaantipop: okay, a bit better, now you might want to put the options in a variable and then call them. also, why aren't you creating a pid file?04:04
eazseecasuranyone know  torcs , a 3d car racing game? i have an analog pad but it doesn t work what should i do?04:04
bazhangGuest47299, from hardware drivers (additional drivers) not the website04:04
nimbioticsFrozenFire, sry04:04
Guest47299bazhang, okay then that wont change much drivers wise I mean, cause thats what I am running right now04:05
antipopGnea how can I create the f04:05
nimbioticsFrozenFire, sry. Im desperate, been trying for 2 days already04:05
antipoppid file?04:05
Guest47299and still slowdown in gnome for me04:05
FrozenFireDonJuan: During initialization (prior to the bootloader) the system generally provides a "boot menu"04:05
antipopGnea how can I create the pid file?04:05
FrozenFireDonJuan: Typically, that's F12 or something similar.04:05
bazhangGuest47299, that wont change it, no04:05

dfcnvtnimbiotics: then check via browser to change setting...04:06
DonJuanFrozenFire: I'm familiar with that, but for some reason this mobo doesn't give the boot menu option. All I've got is BIOS and an option to install from network.04:06

qwertyjustinDonJuan: Limitations Compared with a regular installation, a Wubi installation faces some  limitations. Hibernation is not supported and the filesystem is more  vulnerable to hard reboots[1].  Also, if the Windows drive is unmounted uncleanly (most commonly  because of a Windows crash), Ubuntu will not be able to mount the  Windows drive and boot until Windows has successfully booted and shut  down. If the Windows system cannot be booted after the cras04:17

tgp1994FishFace: The update manager? I should mention that I'm on mint 9 right now. The only reason I'm not in their support room is because there weren't many people around to help :\05:01
FrozenFireborikenmedia-wls: This is a support channel. Did you have a support question?05:01
borikenmedia-wlsfor?05:02
bazhangborikenmedia-wls, for Ubuntu05:02
consoleartpfifo: so what do you suggest for me...can i install x once again...if yes the please give me any pointers ///thnx05:02
calamityokay this thing is so old the graphical install isn't working05:02
KrishnanduAeronius, In windows use Unetbootin to create Live USB and in Ubuntu there is ubuntu disc creator05:02
borikenmedia-wlsjeje05:02
borikenmedia-wlsletme see05:02
calamityIs there a way to use the old sttyle install?05:02
tgp1994FishFace: I don't seem to have any updates at the moment. Any other ideas?05:02
studentzthunkee I log out and in several times here is the output pam_succes_if(gdm:auth): requirements "user ingroup nopasswd login" not met by user "myname"05:02
AeroniusI'm using the USB disk creator, but it says 1GB is too small05:03
wastrelthis is the ubuntu channel05:03
Aeroniusdoesn't make sense05:03
FishFacetgp1994: Sorry bud. Not for Mint05:03
pfifoconsoleart, format your harddrive and  reinstall ubuntu from CD. Theres about 50 packages related to Xorg and will take ages to reinstall with no guarentee that it will even work, so just start fresh05:03
bazhangAeronius, in ubuntu? unetbootin is in the repos05:03
studentzthunkee pam_sm_authenticate: Called05:03
brophatmemtest results "error: too small lower memory (0x991007 > 0x96c00)" is this a problem?05:03
tgp1994FishFace: Pretty much the same as ubuntu, are you sure you don't have any other ideas?05:03
KrishnanduAeronius, No idea, I created ubuntu live usb many times with my 1GB pen drive05:04
wastrelsudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop05:04
wastrel^^^ pfifo consoleart05:04
studentzthunkee pam_sm_authenticate: username = [myname]05:04
Aeroniusok, using unetbootin?05:04
bazhangAeronius, yep, should do05:04
Meiampksadiq: sudo rm -R /media/phone05:04
studentzthunkee Passphrase file wrapped05:04
KrishnanduAeronius, used unetbootin from windows too, never got such like 1GB is too small05:04
consoleartpfifo: thanks05:04
FishFacetgp1994: Sorry. None :(05:04
Meiampksadiq: http://paste.ubuntu.com/536948/plain/05:04
pfifowastrel, that will not uninstall and then reinstall X05:05
tgp1994FishFace: Alright, thanks anyways.05:05
Aeroniussudo apt-get it or in the software center?05:05
consoleartwastrel: is it for installing desktop again ?05:05
bazhangAeronius, what version of ubuntu05:05
studentzthunkee  Error attempting to add filename encryption key to user session keyring: rc = [1]05:05
Aeroniusok, it says I have it in the software center, I have 9.10, I want to install 10.10 on my laptop that's coming soon05:05
Aeroniusrun it from a command line?05:06
bazhangAeronius, sudo apt-get install unetbootin05:06
consoleartwastrel it gives out an error...05:06
studentzthunkee pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user myname by (uid=0)05:06
AeroniusI got it05:06
Aeroniusnow what?05:07
consoleartNot supported low-power chip with PCI id 14e4:4315!05:07
consoleartAborting.05:07
tgp1994Krishnandu: When you mentioned searching for drivers, I think you were indicating the Appearance customizer? When trying to enable effects, it will search for drivers, but then it tells me that it could not enable the effects.05:07
Aeroniusran it from a command line05:07
KrishnanduAeronius, Now start unetbootin from menu05:07
studentzthunkee pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :005:07
Krishnandutgp1994, No no, from hardware drivers in the menu05:07
AeroniusI did it from the command line instead, got a window called UNetbootin05:07
tgp1994Krishnandu: I don't have any menus there :(05:08
studentzthunkee pam_unix (gdm:session) : session closed for user myname05:08
studentzthunkee that is all05:08
KrishnanduAeronius, Ya now use that to create live usb05:08
Krishnandutgp1994, No idea then, wait and see what other member replies05:08
noobie25can someone tell me how ti get my background process to the front again?  fg %id says "no such job"05:08
tgp1994Krishnandu: Alright, thanks.05:08
AeroniusWait, when I select Ubuntu as the distribution, the latest it gives me is 9.04_Live05:08
tgp1994I guess I'm going to have to return, the appearance customizer kind of crashed gnome.05:08
Krishnandutgp1994, Are you sure there is nothing like "Search for hardware drivers"??05:09
bazhangAeronius, you'll need the 10.10 iso05:09
KrishnanduAeronius, use the ISO that you already have instead05:09
tgp1994Krishnandu: Correct. It seemed like it was trying to search when I started it up, although I'm assuming that failed.05:09
Aeroniusok, select diskimage, ISO, 10.10 6405:09
Krishnandutgp1994, Well, that seems to be a different problem05:09
calamityhrm. safe-graphics mode might work?05:09
KrishnanduAeronius, Ahh, you are using x86_64?? Then I guess 1GB is really small for that05:10
dewwnoobie25: how did you send it to the background?05:10
KrishnanduAeronius, Not sure though, confirm from bazhang05:10
bazhangKrishnandu, no it wont05:10
noobie25deww: i think it went to the background automattically, when i loss connection using ssh.05:10
Krishnandubazhang, Okies, but never faced 1GB is too small from ubuntu-disc-creator05:11
noobie25deww: Status is "S"   i think this is 'suspended' right?05:11
dewwnoobie25: nope... type "jobs" to see if it's in the bg05:11
bazhangKrishnandu, nor have I using unetbootin05:11
thunkeestudentz: is your login name than 9 chars?05:11
thunkeestudentz: longer05:11
Aeroniusbazhang: it says no drive found, reformat as fat3205:11
noobie25deww:  'jobs'  just gives me back the prompt.05:12
wastrelnoobie25: did you nohup it05:12
noobie25wastrel:  i'm not sure what nohup is...05:12
Krishnandubazhang, Ya neither I, used unetbootin too, lets see what happened05:12
bazhangAeronius, be sure to carefully identify the usb stick05:12
wastrelif the original controlling terminal is gone, you can't get the proc back in the foreground05:12
AeroniusYeah, how do I do that?05:12
wastrelnext time use screen05:12
studentzThunkee yes it longer than 9 chars and it has digits alphanums n caps05:12
Aeroniuslooks like I could easily bork my system real good like this...05:13
AeroniusI clicked show all drives (Use with Care)05:13
pksadiqMeiam: I think this is a bug => "usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning",05:13
KrishnanduAeronius, Now select the usb drive you can to use05:13
thunkeestudentz: first remove your login from /etc/group nopasswdlogin group05:13
KrishnanduAeronius, Carefully, selecting wrong drive will erase all data from that05:13
dewwnoobie25: what exactly were you running? jobs don't send themselves to the background automatically?05:14
pksadiqMeiam: or you haven't plugged in the cable completly05:14
noobie25wastrel:  aftrer reading wiki,  no i didn't not start the process using nohup.   However, i can see it still as a running process with a Status of "S"05:14
Aeronius/dev/sda1, shm, etc...05:14
KrishnanduAeronius, You can also refer to Ubuntu Downoad page, there is a tutorial on how to use unetbootin05:14
studentzthunkee sry my login is only 5 char05:14
jschallis there a PPA to install linux 2.6.36 and does it break anything?05:14
thunkeestudentz: check if home dir is correct ls -l /home05:14
Aeroniusit goes to like 7, and I don't know which is the usb05:14
studentzthunkee my paswd is the longer one05:14
shin_hmm where do i go if i have dumb newbie questions?05:14
thunkeestudentz: not your passwd i asked for login name05:15
nit-witAeronius, open gparted and see what the usb is listed as05:15
wastrelnoobie25: like i said, you can't reattach to the process if the original controlling terminal is gone.  next time use screen :/05:15
bazhangshin_, likely not dumb, just ask here05:15
KrishnanduAeronius, use mount command in terminal to verify that05:15
noobie25deww: it was an application i wrote generating twin primes that i have been running for 7 hours.  I accidently loss connection, but i think it is still running.05:15
studentzthunkee it is correct05:15
shin_i got myself a new terminal using cntl+alt+f2, and i can't get back into xwindows since i'm not root and have no display????05:16
tgp1994Does anyone else happen to know why jockey-gtk (Hardware Drivers) cannot detect my nvidia drivers for my Geforce FX 5500?05:16
Aeroniusinstalling gparted05:16
noobie25wastrel:  i'm not sure how to use screen...05:16
dewwnoobie25: you may want to restart this effort :P05:16
shin_so was stuck at command prompt05:16
bazhangshin_, tried ctrl alt f7?05:16
nit-witAeronius,  it is your best friend in so many ways05:16
Krishnandushin_, alt+ctrl + f7 or f8(if you've logged out)05:16
Aeroniustaking a while to install05:17
nit-witAeronius,  what is the OS your using05:17

echolisthello, i have a little problem to connect a modem with ubuntu05:18
Aeroniussudo gparted05:18
wastrelnoobie25: screen lets you detach and reattach to a terminal. won't help in this case but in the future, if you're running jobs remotely, start screen on the remote system so if your connection fails you can reattach05:18
noobie25deww:  thanks05:18
dewwnoobie25: besides from figuring out how to reattach / detach from screen, everything else is the same as you would without running screen05:18
noobie25wastrel:  thanks05:18
nit-witAeronius, it is in the menu other wise it is gksudo gparted05:18
AeroniusOK, my USB isn't even showing on gparted05:18
nit-witAeronius,  there is a drop down top right corner05:19

KrishnanduAeronius, use mount in terminal if you are not sure05:20
Aeroniusok, should I try Unetbootin on sdb now?05:20

Hex00010hey guys i got a quick question im running another monitor on my laptop and im using my big monitor ( conencted to my laptop) to browse stuff what is the command to  do so on ubuntu?06:51
FroodleKB1JWQ, so I won't have do anything special during installation?06:51
ubuntunoobwhy do I get  "restart: unknown instance:" when trying to 'sudo restart vsftpd'?06:51
mkquistmagicjoe: really, I've just found it easier to install new and reinstall software06:51
eagles0513875Primedeath: i know care to explain what the amd powernow-k8 technology is06:51
mkquistmagicjoe: saves a lot of headaches06:51
Hex00010Do i have to like mount it or something?06:51
Some_uxUbuntu 10.04 server won't boot after install. I get a flashing cursor (no grub). Is that a known issue ?06:51
eagles0513875Some_ux: works fine for me after install06:52
mkquistmagicjoe: lucid is solid06:52
magicjoemkquist: that sounds like the stupidest thing i have ever heard of for an OS update. even a screen resolution change gives you the opportunity to accept or revert before its permanent. in case you change it to a non compatible one!06:52
ceazeAnyone knows some good mame roms??06:52
magicjoei just updated to lucid. and it broke my compiz stuff.06:52
ceazeThat work in ubuntu06:52
mkquistmagicjoe: not gonna argue that, just found it easier to roll with it and install fresh06:52
oldschooldoes anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu 10.10 from a external hard drive06:52
Some_uxI will try to install ubuntu 10.10 server06:53
Rakkooldschool: reformat it06:53
mkquistmagicjoe: I dont trust the 'update' path with ubuntu, never found it to work well06:53
magicjoeso id have to start all over, rebuild the cairo-dock from cmake, and then HOPE that my video card can work with it, since its not now,and re-enter all my settings....06:53
Rakkoceaze: MAME ROMs should work about the same anywhere06:53
sgo11hi, new to ubuntu, switched from opensuse. for ubuntu-desktop, why ubuntu recommends 32bit version? Is 64bit desktop safe to be used? opensuse and other linux recommend 64bit OS now. why ubuntu desktop still recommends 32bit? thanks.06:53
mkquistmagicjoe: no rebuild cairo dock, just d/l it06:54
Some_uxI didn't have so many issues with 8.04, it was steady as a rock.06:54
rwwsgo11: Yes, it works fine. The website recommends 32-bit so that people who don't know which type of processor they have aren't confused.06:54
RakkoI didn't know about that, sgo11, but 64-bit works very well for me06:54
rwwsgo11: If you know 64-bit works, use 64-bit :)06:54
Primedeathrww explained it perfectly.06:54
magicjoeis there a POWERPC version of Lucid?06:54
rww!ppc | magicjoe06:54
ubottumagicjoe: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ06:54
KB1JWQFroodle: Correct.06:54
sgo11rww, Rakko got it. thanks a lot for the reply. I will download 64bit desktop version then.06:54
mkquistmagicjoe: honestly, I tried the update way once. took hours and broke things.  Just easier to install fresh.  Kind of like reinstalling, but with the new and improved version06:54
jchello,when the terminal shows that no such variable,what should I do?/06:54
magicjoelol06:55
Rakkojc: what variable? what are you trying to do?06:55
ubuntunoobwhy do I get  "restart: unknown instance:" when trying to 'sudo restart vsftpd'?06:55
ceazeRakko, ok, but do you know some nice ones??06:55
magicjoemkquist: so if its NOT finding my video card (cant enable visual effects in apperances) how do i know a fresh install will?06:55
Some_uxOK, I'm installing from a pendrive (I have no CDROM) and the installer fails because it says no CDROM ? what's up with that ?06:56
magicjoeand yeah i asked about p pc and it spit out an auto comment. but i am running karmic p pc now06:56
oldschoolRakko how would i do that i have windows xp on my internal hard drive and now that i have ubuntu install on that external hard drive in wont show up on my windows os06:56
mkquistmagicjoe: might not, but ubuntu seems to improve with each new, at least long term support, release06:56
Rakkoceaze: nope, sorry06:56
mkquistmagicjoe: what gfx are you using?06:57
magicjoemkquist: how do i tell? i am running karmic pow pc06:57
mkquistmagicjoe: im running ubuntu on four diff computers and it works well for me06:57
mkquistmagicjoe: ?06:57
rwwmagicjoe: It didn't spit out an auto comment. I told it to tell you about that.06:58
jcRakko, uwind06:58
Rakkooldschool: the drive doesn't show up at all in My Computer?06:58
mkquistmagicjoe: radeon?06:58
magicjoemkquist: yeah, i have it dual boot on this ibook g4, and my desktop. i love linux. not just for the compiz personalization, but that helps me like it06:58
jcRakko, ncdump -v uwind,vwind -p 3 zigzag4.nc06:58
jcncdump: uwind: No such variable06:58
Some_uxI mean, the installer loads, shows me the menu (which means it found the Pendrive perfectly well) then it complains that there is not CD ?06:58
rwwassuming you meant ubottu.06:58
Rakkojc: sounds like a problem with either ncdump, or your invocation of it06:59
mkquistmagicjoe: nvidia seems pretty solid, and come to thing of it, have a little media box uses radeon with no problems...06:59
oldschoolRakko no not no more after i install ubuntu on it the external hard drive06:59
Rakko!usb drive06:59
oldschoolyes06:59
Rakkothat's odd... I don't know how you would do it in windows07:00
magicjoewell, my karmic pow pc was doing great, and then i updated to the update manager suggested lucid upgrade....and it worked ok, but now i cannot enable the visual effects, which means, its not recognising my video card, and i have nvidia installed07:00
Rakkomaybe using control panel->administrator tools->computer management->disk management07:00

fishscenetheforwhat: You can re-download the iso and burn a CD.07:46
Jordan_US0lder: No, it uses files from the iso (the iso file itself if you set it up with grub2) so it's always going to be 700 meg or under.07:47
AeroniusJordan_U: you know the USB Startup Disk Creator in System>Administration07:47

AeroniusUSB startup creator must have borked it?07:54
Aeroniusanyways, now for unetbootin07:54
Jordan_UAeronius: Because of the aformentioned delayed write you don't want to unplug the flash drive right after writing to it (even with gparted) without "ejecting" it (which does more than just unmounting does) or at least running "sync".07:55
Aeroniusdamn it, the error message popped up again!07:55
AeroniusYou must first mount the USB drive /dev/sdb1 to a mountpoint. Most distributions will do this automatically after you remove and reinsert the USB drive.07:56

IrishWristwatchWhat are you installing it on, and which version of Ubuntu?09:11

EpicFialGuywhen i want to go to my user folder via gnome bar, it tried to open my folder with gedit and not nautilus09:12
Jordan_Umagicjoe: Yes.09:12
IrishWristwatchMerlin_, I suggest googling to see if other people have installed ubuntu on that same computer and if they encountered any problems09:12
IrishWristwatchThen either test Ubuntu with a LiveCD, or just install it09:12
IrishWristwatchit's pretty straight forward09:13
Merlin_thanks Irish... there has to be a way09:13
magicjoeJordanU: ok. thanks for givin it a go.09:13

Jordan_Umagicjoe: You're welcome.09:13
Merlin_I did a memory test, I finally got the Ubuntu screen to come up, but nothing after that..... the screen just takes forever09:13
IrishWristwatchMerlin_, if your computer is too slow for the LiveCD, I suggest you try the alternate installer09:13
magicjoeJordanU: i can always rename the .disk files in windows, and have the new install to work off of worst case scenario. but if you are up for it tomorrow, ill try to find you.09:14
Merlin_alternate installer?09:14
FishFaceAeronius: I know you have been working on this for hours. But how about you try booting with a live CD and then put the USB drive in. This should resolve any problems with your current OS you might have. Which I doubt you have any IMO.09:14
FishFaceAeronius: I mean current problems with the USB drive09:15
IrishWristwatchMerlin_, the alternate installer is the "text-based" installer09:15
Merlin_hmm09:15
IrishWristwatchwhich uses less system resources09:15

magicjoeMoreliini: i cd to the directory and then did ./configure. but when i type make, it says no target specified. im in the folder!09:41
Moreliinimagicjoe: Is there a Makefile in there?09:41
incandenzathewanderer1: /var/run is a temporary filesystem (note how it's mounted), so it gets completely reset on reboot09:41
magicjoeMoreliini: there are 2 a .am and a .in09:42
thewanderer1incandenza: here it's not temporary, I can't see it in `mount`09:42
magicjoeMoreliini: i got the tar.gz from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.13.0-1ubuntu509:42
incandenzathewanderer1: there might be a script that clears it on boot, then.  not sure09:42
Moreliinimagicjoe: and the configure script said it was successful09:42
magicjoeMoreliini: ah no. it did a bunch of stuff, but now it says requirements not met. no package xorg-server no package fontproto09:44
incandenzathewanderer1: in any case, those are temporary files (like pids of running processes) that aren't meant to persist across boots09:44
thewanderer1okay, I see. I'll look around the init scripts, thanks09:44
Aeroniuswould someone look at this and opine if they think I have a problem? http://pastie.org/132774009:45
magicjoeMoreliini: so what does that mean for me? look for those packages in synaptic? or do they need to be in this folder? am i supposed to be in the root of the unzipped file, or in the /src folder?09:45
thewanderer1yup, the file gets removed by /lib/init/bootclean.sh as called by mountnfs-bootclean.sh, heh :P09:46
Moreliinimagicjoe: You'll run make in the root where the Makefile is, not src. Apt-get the dependencies09:46

Dr_WillisMerlin_:  lubuntu, puppy linux, google for 'mini' disrtos perhaps.11:14

amanthakurpaperchaser, well actually that depends on the type of tar balls also you have. Whether you have your tar compressed with bzip2 or gzip. accordingly you use the switches. Go for man pages of tar as L10n said.11:18

Dr_WillisLubuntu has gotten very well done. and is lighter then xubuntu.11:22
AeroniusMerlin_: did you see what I said about puppy? and I understand xubuntu is just as big as ubuntu nowadays...11:22
amanthakurTuplad, you can get a virtualbox from the repos in ubuntu. Or you can download the *.deb file from the www.virtualbox.org11:22
Dr_WillisIts not actually an official variant i think however.11:23
TupladAeronius: can't figure it out11:23

AeroniusTuplad: so you get a fresh install, you use linux primarily, so you aren't as exposed to malware11:28
JusticeZeroResetting the router seems to help somewhat for a bit, we think? but that could be a perception thing.11:28
gogetaMerlin_: then you can just format the system remove any sort of infection heh11:29

gogetaMerlin_: for the most part11:52
Merlin_I have never used Linux a day in my life11:52
ltlkoshMerlin_: I'd do lubuntu (also, gelato is way better than ice cream)11:52
L10ngogeta: wrong, im telling him the business card install. using that he will be able to only install exactly what he needs. making it extreamly light weight11:52
amanthakurkabal, use efficient hardware....:P11:52
gogetaL10n: same thing if he used the ubuntu minmul cd11:53

L10ngogeta: i agree11:53
ltlkoshMerlin_: back to topic though, if you are just starting to use Linux Lubuntu is going to be easier than a minimal debian install11:54
g___amanthakur: that's been answered now, the chicken did11:54
stbusiness card installs require a lot of knoledge to be made usable11:54

alex88ikonia, it's a patch for a kernel..just put on the file and flag "this contains the patch"?12:46

d4n1sgood idea dr.willis12:46
d4n1sbut which version has?12:46
ikoniaDr_Willis: much better idea12:46

I insist that the EXT4 HD is a copy of the data stored in the EXT3 external HD, and I dont und14:00

duffydackkane77, just remove it, not replace with something else?15:09
kane77duffydack, yes, I tried deleting and recreating partition, but the grub is still there.. (maybe I did it wrong though)15:10
dfcnvtI have a problem with opening the folder... check the video of my desktop to see the problem.15:10

dfcnvtand this one too, different media player... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3mqT1uvN0415:10
duffydackkane77,  a few ways, could just use Disk Utility to format the drive.  it will write new mbr15:10
HowardTheDuckhey is it better to have an antivirus on my windows partition or just scan it w/ clamtk from ubuntu15:11
bazhangMikolos, dont spam here15:11
pragmaticenigmaClam doesn't remove viruses, it will only tell you that you have a virus15:11
bazhangdfcnvt, more useful to pastebin the error messages with what you are trying to do15:11
duffydackkane77, or.. sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1   (replace sdb with your usb stick id)15:11
HowardTheDuckpragmaticenigma: ah ok.  thanks.  ill just use that panda cloud thing then15:12
pragmaticenigmaHowardTheDuck: You can also use TrendMicro's House Call15:12
HowardTheDuckI really like the idea of cloud av...i wanna try that one out15:12
HowardTheDucksee just how light on resources it really is15:13
dfcnvtbazhang: There are no code to paste for the error. Therefore, I have no use of it. Please check the video to see the problem otherwise.15:13
HowardTheDuckpragmaticenigma: ill check it out thanks15:13
bazhangdfcnvt, describe what you are trying to do then, and what does not work15:13
dfcnvtyou're afraid of watching the film?15:14
dfcnvtAlright, I'll explain.15:14

wastrelfirefox takes a long time to load first time because of disk slow15:37
iraFirefox loads in just a few seconds, using 64bit15:37
mmanSkapare, *how15:37
pragmaticenigmaSkapare: Usually, I find slow downs are from having a lot of different plugins installed (such as flash, logmein, etc...) and firefox does a check once and awhile to make sure the most up to date versions are installed15:37
wastrelit reads a lot of crap from disk15:37
mmanSkapare, the compiz! thats what i unistalled and then it worked15:39

burningphantom1does anyone know why ubuntu isn't playing sound from my laptop speakers?15:43
Skaparepragmaticenigma: so maybe this is to leave them with a 4G process memory limit so they will get better at not being so bloated?15:43
pragmaticenigmalugalgal: There is no difference between running the netbook edition and the full edition... the biggest difference is the netbook edition keeps you from loading up too many apps at one time15:43
crimsunburningphantom1: could be a lot of reasons.  Have you tried filing a bug (`ubuntu-bug alsa-base`)?15:43
EpicFialGuyburningphantom1: your sound mixer is muted15:43
pragmaticenigmaSkapare: the memory limit is the hardware addressing... 32bit address space only allows for about 4g of memory15:44
pragmaticenigmain a 32 bit OS15:44
burningphantom1wait. where is sound mixer on ubuntu?15:44
burningphantom1its my first day of using this OS15:44
crimsunburningphantom1: try Applications > Accessories > Terminal, and in it type: alsamixer15:44
Skaparepragmaticenigma: if firefox is 32 bit mode, then it can't get larger than 4G ... maybe that's a good thing to teach their programmers to not make code that bloats so easily15:46

C-Peemp(Here I am)16:23
Guest58245crimsun, either one long as it works lol16:23
crimsunGuest58245: then you probably want to install the `pavucontrol` package16:23
Skaparepragmaticenigma: if two machines on the same LAN have IPv6 addresses auto-configured (the ones beginning with "fe80:" and ending with "/64") ... then they should be able to ping each other ... but be sure to use "ping6" AND be sure to append % plus the interface name onto the address16:24
Guest58245crimsun, okay the other question is when I set pulse audio to my first sound card, get skype to use my second one...skype only shows the pulse audio local server16:24

Skaparepragmaticenigma: unfortunately, no one single resource ... I've had to learn it in bits and pieces ... maybe I should write it up16:26
crimsunGuest58245: I don't understand; can you take screenshots and explain?16:26
pragmaticenigmaSkapare: That would be very helpful16:27
Skaparepragmaticenigma: most resources describe networks that do have IPv6 routers and/or IPv6 internet or some tunnel broker ... and they focus on that16:27
Guest58245crimsun, when I use skype and go to the audio tab the only cards listed in there says Pulse Audio Local Server, it doesnt give me the option of picking a sound card. I want to setup so like all my sounds, music, youtube videos, etc come through my first sound card, but skype goes through my second16:27

crimsunGuest58245: which version of Skype are you using?16:28
Skaparepragmaticenigma: but IPv6 done manually can be simpler than IPv4 ... except in cases of LONG addresses16:28
Guest58245crimsun, the latest from skype.com so skype something beta 216:29
crimsunGuest58245: E.g., I'm using 2.1.0.81-1ubuntu5 from the partner repository.16:29
Skaparepragmaticenigma: but I use short IPv6 addresses on my LANs ... like fc01::416:29
pragmaticenigmaSkapare: The shortening is just because everyting between the fc01 and 4 was all zeroed out16:29
Guest58245crimsun, it says ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-116:29

pragmaticenigmaBeefbaked: what are you referring to? computer manufactures? hardware?16:50
BeefbakedHardware, sorry.16:51
pragmaticenigmaBeefbaked: any specific hardware?16:51
jon__Beefbaked, intel16:51
Nisstyre65^16:51
jon__Beefbaked, that is, for wireless cards... broadcom sucks16:51
pragmaticenigmaBeefbaked: jon__ is right, almost all of intel product lines are supported16:51
Nisstyre65broadcom released a native driver16:51
BeefbakedI am trying to understand Linux and drivers.16:52
pragmaticenigmajon__: the new opensource braodcom driver is nice16:52
jon__Nisstyre65, forget broadcom16:52
NewOnei was trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, and it's just got stak in the middle. when i reboot my grub won't work.: error: file not found. grub rescue>16:52
jon__f broadcom16:52
Nisstyre65jon__, obviously Atheros is beter16:52
Nisstyre65but I'm just saying16:52
Beefbakedso if a manufacturer like NVIDIA releases a product, they make sure they release updated linux drivers?16:52
jon__I'm bitter because I struggled with broadcom for a couple years16:52
burningphantom1yo, what should I do with this    http://filebin.ca/complete.php?id=4cf13429a401116:52
Nisstyre65Beefbaked, yes16:52
velkojon__, a workaround would be to see the pid with ps and look up /proc/pid/status16:52
Nisstyre65Beefbaked, but not all16:53
BeefbakedIsn't that a hassle for them considering the kernel is updated often, and therefore would need to support multiple OS'es and probably even distribution?16:53
jon__velko, there's no direct route?16:53
Nisstyre65in nVidia's case, yeah16:53
Nisstyre65they're really good for it16:53
BeefbakedSorry, I do not have a very deep understanding of linux16:53
velkojon__, maybe. i don't know it16:53
pragmaticenigmajon__: I have struggled as well, especially with package management tools not install all the dependencies to get the broadcom drivers working... but the latest native driver from broadcom works without any issues for me on two laptops16:53
jon__velko, gotcha, thanks for the pointer16:53

blackrockHi, where do I find the help.ubuntu.com site's source?17:39
jon__yoghrt, it should be set so that when you boot up it maintains that, because you edited the /etc/interfaces17:40
jon__yoghrt, the one that can't access the internet, is it connected to a router?17:40

pragmaticenigmaSkapare: There is nothing wrong with running 32bit on a 64bit machine... it just has left over bits :-)17:45

Skapareone code base can do both 32-bit and 64-bit, even on one multiple architectures ... BTDT17:45
demonspork64bit Windows systems have the 32bit libraries built in, but 64bit linux doesn't have that requirement17:45
pragmaticenigmaSkapare: true, but the 64bit is restricted somewhat by what 32bit limits are17:45

UserX710.04 booting problems. Deleting "quiet splash" from grub's boot options seems to work. What's the file I can edit to make this permanent?17:47
Skaparepragmaticenigma: well, I disagree that compiling in 64-bit leaves it with 32-bit limits ... OTOH, a web browser exceeding 4GB has more issues beyond whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit ... e.g. if it gets that bloated, it's time for it to _exit()17:47

IdleOne!alternate | Volny__17:48
ubottuVolny__: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal17:48
HazardXVolny__, the alternate installer disks, or use debootstrap (and some other linux box -- not for the feint of heart)17:48
Volny__I have the alternate CD17:48
Volny__But how do I get it not to load X17:49
UserX7HazardX: I don't have that file, but /boot/grub/grub.cfg17:49
HazardXUserX7, that's prossibly it, its also sometimes called menu.lst (among others)17:49
demonsporkVolny__, the alternate cd doesn't load X17:49
IdleOneVolny__: you don't want a GUI when done installing?17:49
UserX7HazardX: This is grub2 by the way. You're thinking of grub-legacy files17:49
HaPK_PerCarcan someone help me with my Zsnes problem? it won't run17:50
Volny__I do, but my installer crashes almost instantly17:50
Volny__I figured that was because of my cirrus graphic VGA card17:50
demonsporkVolny__, alternate CD doesn't use X, so it should load fine17:50
EkusheyI have a friend who installed unity on this desktop but now wants to revert it... logging out and choosing gnome as the session will do the job?17:51
Volny__Well, that settles it. Even the alternate CD won't boot on my machine. Thanks anyway17:51

ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD17:54

_TexNick_Sean93 : Kdenlive & Cinelerra are both good video converter / editors19:12
shane4ubuntuI'm not sure where to lay the blame, but I'm pretty sure it is cups, I can print via command line, but not through evince, and openoffice has lots of issues printing too.19:12
