[00:14] kismet, obviously [00:14] rockingwing, enable partner repo [00:14] kismet, you need to open ports [00:14] * Skapare looks around [00:15] !partner | rockingwing [00:15] rockingwing: 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] kismet, was that not obvious?

Way back in the day you could edit xorg.conf, what's currently the way to save this and similar settings? [00:16] eroby, a cd for java? [00:16] im a nube looking for help but first of all hello [00:16] betamine, thx [00:16] no for Ubuntu 10.10 [00:16] what flush-8:0 how to remove it from cpu usage [00:16] 22 is the default for ssh ... but you'd best change that to something obscure if you want to open it to the whole internet [00:17] eroby, you can download it from www.ubuntu.com , or ask shipit to send you a cd [00:17] shipit?? [00:17] !shipit > eroby [00:17] eroby, please see my private message [00:17] Please Help ..... I cannot get access neither into gnome or xterm. My passw is right. [00:17] kismet: see if the the server software is listening on port: sudo 'lsof -i:$PORT' [00:18] what do i do with a .tar.gz file once downloaded? [00:18] Skapare: No need really. I highly suggest installing fail2ban with ssh, as it will ban any host that fails to authenticate a set number of times. And it works as soon as you install, no extra config needed [00:18] correction: sudo -i:$PORT [00:18] 10k you [00:18] paper, a tar.gz of what [00:18] correction1: sudo lsof -i:$PORT :) [00:18] anything i dont know how to install [00:18] hi [00:19] betamine, sudo lsof -i:$9160 gives me noo output [00:19] 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] I'd like to report a bug but I don't know which package it's coming from, how do i do that ? [00:19] remove dollar sign [00:19] paper, use the package manager to install, not tar.gz from the internet [00:19] jsvc 719 root 39u IPv6 4512 0t0 TCP localhost:9160 (LISTEN) [00:19] is the a way or something i could read? [00:20] kismet: and jsvc is the name of the app? [00:20] paper, sure, but it would be helpful if you explained what package you wished to install first. [00:20] intrader, Beyond that, I can't fathom what the problem would be. [00:20] its a cgi proxy [00:20] paper: tar tvzf [00:20] betamine, could be... it is a java application so i guess it stands for java server bla bla [00:21] betamine, it is cassandra (a database application) [00:21] help anyone? [00:22] kismet: If I had to guess I'd say the problem is in your cassandra configuration [00:22] Help me I cannot get access neither gnome nor xterm ? [00:22] elvirolo: Tell us what the bug is, maybe we can suggest the package na,e. [00:22] both 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.. [00:23] betamine, 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 work [00:23] Hi Helpers, is it posible to run kde in ubuntu or is it gnome all the way? [00:23] <_jesse_> Markive: you can run kde [00:23] Markive, just install kubuntu-desktop [00:23] betamine, cassandra-cli -host 192.168.56.102 -port 9160 [00:23] Krunal, different apps but same under neath [00:23] will I get some kind of choice or log in menu to pick which gui? [00:23] betamine, does not work but cassandra-cli -host localhost -port 9160 does from the same machine [00:23] Markive, yes [00:23] <_jesse_> Markive: yeah at the login screen you'll choose which session to use [00:24] kismet: check if your router [00:24] <_jesse_> it's along the bottom [00:24] Markive, lubuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop as well [00:24] _jesse_ and bazhang thankyou very much , merry christmas [00:24] Pici, 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 dialog [00:24] betamine, 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 welll [00:25] bazhang, the reason why i ask because i installed ubuntu 10.10 and it picked up my wirelesss NIC, kubuntu did not [00:26] anyone know how/where to configure X to disregard mouse wheel rolling, while still leaving the middle button (in the wheel) working? [00:27] even better if it can be configured to do this only in terminal windows [00:27] So 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. [00:28] Question: I have .fr-FA3QBx, .fr-ILEeDq, and .fr-M21DNz directories in /Pictures... Are these necessary? [00:28] My 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? [00:29] hm [00:29] kismet: are the other computers windows or linux btw [00:29] hello [00:29] Irreducibilis: 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 usbhd [00:30] I'm sorry to insist, but I reinstalled maverick from scratch, and I'm still experiencin the same bug [00:31] I have such a thing on hand. [00:31] _jesse_ is the package i'm looking for is kde called "kde-full" ? [00:31] Did anyone hear my question? [00:32] or is everyone busy [00:32] i'll wait :P [00:32] wowaname, I honestly... I dont think its really needed [00:32] ok [00:32] kismet: a hacky workaround is to use an ssh tunnel [00:32] But someone else should answer [00:32] I'm not extremely linux-skilled. [00:32] for some reason all they contain is my tree all over again [00:32] full sized [00:32] actually, just /documents/.... [00:32] <_jesse_> Markive: nah, do kubuntu-desktop [00:33] Is there a way I can double click a .dmg file and have it mount? [00:33] Lol dmg [00:33] <_jesse_> hehe [00:33] isn't that mac? [00:33] If its nothing but empty folders, then feel free to remove. [00:33] It's not empty folders... it's ... [00:33] Configuration files of some kind, I'd keep it [00:33] hold on [00:34] /home/wowaname/Pictures/.fr-ILEeDq/My Documents/My Pictures [00:34] and then [00:34] it has my pictures [00:34] _jesse_ is it the "Kubuntu Plasma Desktop system"? [00:34] Heeeeeelp I cannot get access neither gnome nor xterm Please Hel [00:34] it's probably from windows for some reason [00:34] <_jesse_> elijah: dmg's are 'image' files in OSX, you can use dmg2img to convert [00:34] wowaname, I'd keep it there, just to be sure [00:35] i could rename it and see what happens [00:35] <_jesse_> Markive: haha I dunno what it's title is, let's see [00:35] like add a _ at the end [00:35] _jesse_: Does that make another file? [00:35] What 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 it [00:35] <_jesse_> elijah: yeah [00:36] So I can migrate from wubi to a full dual boot [00:36] _jesse_ thanks very much for your time 10/10 for the help ;) [00:36] Irreducibilis: windows 7 can resize its own partitions. [00:36] safely? [00:37] Irreducibilis: I find windoes is faster at ressizeing ntfs then linux is. [00:37] need help installing ubuntu on my macbook [00:37] partition resizing *always* has an element of danger; always have a backup [00:37] Irreducibilis: power failure durin resize = bad. :) be sure to have backups. [00:37] cant figure out how to change the iso file to an img [00:37] I'll do that then. And I won't lose my Installation then? [00:37] ringo: why do you need to do that? [00:37] It's a laptop, so if the power fails, it will revert to battery. shouldn't be a problem [00:38] I need help downloading uBuntu Linux 10.10 Netbook version [00:38] Thanks. [00:38] It's not downloading all the way and I am looking for a mirror [00:38] darkfx559: theres always the torrents. [00:38] And after that, its simply a matter of installing? [00:38] Can you redirect me to a torrent please? [00:38] Irreducibilis: i resize the windows partitions. leave part of the HD unallocated.. tell installer to use unallocated space normally [00:38] !download [00:38] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low!

Now can you tell me what is appropreate to back up from the wubi install, to migrate over? [00:39] Is my home folder enough, or is there anything else [00:41] I need the Netbook version of uBuntu though [00:41] <_jesse_> darkfx559: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/maverick/release/netbook/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-netbook-armel+dove.img.torrent [00:41] Thank you :) [00:41] darkfx559, they can be switched between as well [00:42] Also, on my other netbook, ubuntu isnt recognizing a wireless connection?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:50] :| [00:50] hi everyone [00:50] hi Adiman423 [00:50] a question: is there a version for the netbook ubuntu to install it in win? [00:50] I want to configure PHPMyadmin with Mysql on ubuntu 10.04 [00:51] my display is just a bit too large to fit on my monitor, any help? [00:51] I have configured PHP with mysql and apache with php [00:51] PHPmyadmin [00:51] oh sorry [00:51] Adiman423, I strongly suggest not using PMA. [00:51] ^ [00:51] can i start the gui from command line/ [00:51] ok [00:52] is there a wubi version of the netbook ubuntu? :) [00:52] can i install ubuntu 10.10 on a third generation macbook? [00:52] Adiman423, If you need a GUI tool for administrating your database, there is the mysql-admin package. [00:52] i have the most recent version of OSX 10.6.5 [00:52] ringo, you could do it but you would need virtualbox [00:52] right [00:52] what is virtualbox? [00:53] Frozenfire: would I then download mysql-admin package from synaptic package manager? [00:53] ringo: It lets you run an OS on top of your current one [00:53] Adiman423, or Ubuntu Software Centre [00:53] exright [00:54] brophat try sudo service gdm start [00:54] russjr08. ok cool. im burning the software onto a CD right now and then im going to TRY the software by booting it from the CD like it says on the website. will that work [00:55] ringo: What software are you burning? Ubuntu or Virtualbox? [00:55] frozenfire, trying that now [00:55] ey, I thought my question to be very simple, pls may someone answer? [00:55] ringo: with virtualbox you don't need to burn the image to a cd [00:56] if there' sa wubi ver of netbook ub. [00:56] ad_: never used wubi, check it's website; also i believe wubi already comes in the ubuntu iso [00:56] vgr i did a startx and it booted wtf? [00:56] k, thx [00:56] it only asked me to keyring password [00:56] russjr08: ubuntu 10.10. i was just following the instructions on ubuntu's website http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [00:56] and it worked [00:56] my display is just a bit too large to fit on my monitor, any help? [00:56] crazy [00:57] vgr you think the problem is it is not dealing withthe keyring when I boot straight into the gui? [00:57] ringo: You know you don't need to burn the CD if you are going to run Ubuntu in Virtualbox, it can use the .iso file directly [00:57] frozenfire: I have good news [00:57] Anyone, here is a http://paste.ubuntu.com/536885/. Hopefully it is clear. It is a major problem for FAT volumes since Nov. 10th on maverick [00:58] russjr08: ok how do i run ubuntu in virtualbox? r there instructions? lol im new to this [00:58] ringo: Hold on, I will go find some real quick [00:58] ringo, you can use youtube [00:58] Help me I'm stucked in login screen I cannot get access neither gnome or xtem.

[01:03] vgr yeah dunno even when i booted that way web browser was having prob loading pages [01:03] studentz, are at the login dialog? [01:03] I want to sort alphabetically. it's a gedit file. can I do this? --- Ubuntu 10.04 -- is this an easy thing to do? [01:03] simple i dd the disk then made a new virtual disk and imaged to that when it was complete i expanded the size of the partition Paulo39 [01:03] intrader yep [01:03] Pupazzetto: there is no root password. just login to the user created at install and sudo what you need [01:03] studentz, did you forget your password? [01:03] intrader, oh I didnt see [01:03] _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? [01:04] Pupazzetto, It is recommended that you never login as root. Most things should be done using sudo. [01:04] tripelb: Or within gedit: Edit > Preferences > Plugins -> Enable "Sort". Edit > Sort. [01:04] i agree, the fact is that i'm not in the sudoers list :| [01:04] intrader No my password is OK. When I change to a wrong password I tell me wrong password [01:04] sorry folks, I would love to stay around, but I have to go to bet [01:04] sorry folks, I would love to stay around, but I have to go to bed [01:05] <_jesse_> Markive: it'll be at the login screen, where you type in your password [01:05] ooer it looks like i'm in gnome but there are new apps in the app button [01:05] is there a better way to start the gui from command line other than startx? [01:05] Pupazzetto, You can login as root via the recovery console available in the GRUB boot list. [01:05] if I can see K3B am I in kde? [01:05] Pupazzetto: 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 list [01:05] Be careful, though. [01:05] <_jesse_> Markive: I honestly don't run KDE so I couldn't tell you for sure [01:05] uhm ok [01:05] sacarlson, a Live CD is not needed. [01:05] studentz, sorry, try again to ask the question. I don't know how to help you further. Do you select gnome? [01:06] can anyone suggest best practice for configuring sudoer list? [01:06] _jesse_ thanks for all you help [01:06] I want to start a program upon startup but I don't know how to.. how do I do this+? [01:06] FrozenFire[work]: your right Pupazzetto, you don't have to boot with live cd just single user boot [01:06] no, it's a minimal install from a usb key :) [01:06] jolaren, system - preferences - startup applications [01:07] intrader I do not forget my password. I try to login to gnome and xterm with the same result [01:07] i'm trying to get a xbmc+ubuntu :) [01:07] hi has anyone managed to use PC internet connection to Mobile phone ? [01:07] Pupazzetto, All Linux systems should have a recovery console available. [01:07] Minimal or not. [01:07] I'm having troubles with an HP printer, can anyone assist me [01:07] alket, pc internet connection to mobile phone? [01:07] Pupazzetto: there still must be a way to boot single user with usb key boot. [01:07] studentz, I'd use a bootable CD and look at your .profile file in your /home see what you got. [01:08] yes quant , this guy said he did but i don't understand it well http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1589159 [01:08] obengdako, i didn't understant well the procedure. now i have the windows 7 installed in a 20Gb virtual disk. what do i have to do now really? [01:08] let me do it. What I'm looking for en .profile? [01:09] Paulo39, It's not really possible, so far as I know, to grow a VDI. [01:09] Except to create a new, larger disk, and then copy the data over. [01:09] studentz, execute line by line, and see what is blowing up. [01:09] Then use something like ntfsresize. [01:10] studentz, trye asking again as I am perhaps misleading you to waste your time. [01:11] studentz, I would ask help to look at logs [01:11] i should be able to sudo gainroot right? [01:11] knowing the password of the root account? [01:12] Pupazzetto, Just run su [01:12] xaunga: i did read the instruction but i got stuck at the last part.... so now i dont know wut to do.... [01:12] But, by default, the root password is randomized. [01:12] auth failure [01:12] i need to su :| [01:12] intrader, thanks. that worked wll thanks to my "decades old" experience in a shell. Would be nice in the guil (I sorted a file of camera offerings at best buy. thus by brand by model which is by price ! [01:12] Pupazzetto, why? [01:12] i didn't have this problem with karmic release tho... [01:13] because it's a minimal install and i want to bring an xbmc on it :| [01:13] tripelb, good [01:13] i want to make a mediacenter out of it :| [01:13] rww - Isee that now and put it in my notes [01:13] is it possible to integrate the passwords and encryption keys application with firefox's password system? [01:14] Pupazzetto: do you know how to boot as single user? [01:14] nobody can help me with a printer? [01:14] okay so i have the new Dell xps 15. (im on my 2nd fresh install of ubuntu 10.10). I installed the additional Nvidia drivers through ubuntu > and after a reboot I got a black screen with text $ [01:14] StrangeCharm, That's something I've struggled with for some time. [01:14] unfortunately not, my entire IT knowledge is based on win :D [01:14] tripelb, make your own shell file to do exactly what you need! [01:14] oh and dos [01:15] StrangeCharm, I thought about creating a keyring and then making a translation layer between the keyring and Firefox's password database. [01:15] StrangeCharm, But, as it is, there's no apparent way. [01:15] im starting to get the hang of this linux stuff... after months of trying... thanks to this chat... === randy is now known as Guest62021 [01:16] FrozenFire[work], have you opened a bug on P&EK ? [01:16] <[biabia]> whats the command to show what distro i am using? [01:16] [biabia], uname -a [01:17] FrozenFire[work], I have gotten rid of the fstab entry as it complicated matters setting all files to rwxrwxrwx. Now the context menu Properties->Permissions->Execute toggles the checkbox, but then resets it back.

I installed the additional Nvidia drivers through ubuntu > and after a reboot I got a black screen with text $. Should I trust these drivers? [01:22] peng [01:22] ok so anyone wanna give me some more suggestions on how to get ubuntu 10.10 working correctly on my laptop [01:22] Krunal: I guess not... [01:22] * Shorty is a total ubuntu n00b [01:22] ok ... so according to synaptic I have the latest Java installed ... but FF is obviously not seeing it that way [01:22] Shorty, what's the problem? [01:22] russjr08: what hd storage type should i choose on vituralbox? Fixed-sized storage or dynamically expanding storage? [01:22] everything installs fine but after grub my backlight wont come on [01:23] so i cannot seen anything [01:23] tried re installing 5 times [01:23] <[biabia]> quant: how do i see which ubuntu release i am using [01:23] including downloading during intallation all the updates [01:23] Shorty, maybe incompatible laptop, not sure [01:23] Anyone, 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 mac [01:23] [biabia], except for uname -a, not sure [01:23] ringo: depends on what you want, dinamically expanding storage reports a virtual size to the guest thats all [01:23] 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. [01:24] java.com says: Your Java version is Version 6 Update 20. ... but in synaptic I have updated to 22 [01:24] so I have a gamepad and want to use it as a mouse [01:24] Shorty, try booting in that recovery mode perhaps [01:24] anyone know how to do this? [01:24] hi, how can I use OOCalc, define a cell using another cell, while having text in the main cell? eg... This is a report from =B1 for =C1 user. [01:24] gnr, this is ubuntu support channel [01:25] quant:i might be lucky [01:25] guampa: 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 dynamic [01:25] ringo, any of those [01:25] i tried recovery [01:25] i tried root [01:25] i tried all i could think [01:25] lol [01:26] ringo: for small disks use fixed, dynamic for any size [01:26] ola a todos [01:26] Shorty, sorry then :) [01:26] anyone with 10.10 using FF not able to access this page? : http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=au&l=en&s=dhs [01:26] zetheroo, works for me [01:26] guampa: ok i have 98 gb left on my disk so i guess ill just do the dynamic [01:26] ringo: fixed means if you want a 1Tb disk the file will be 1Tb on your real machine, dynamic disks grow as you fill them [01:27] 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] quant: and can you see what this says: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 [01:27] Roasted_: it's probably blocked in the firewall on the livecd by default [01:27] he probably needs to open 5900 to all there [01:27] zetheroo, indeed I can [01:27] I didnt know ubuntu had a firewall by default... [01:28] quant: thanks [01:28] zetheroo, np [01:29] Hey, i'm just trying to boot into 10.10. I installed some updates last night and rebooted and when I came back ubuntu didn't recognize my usb keyboard/mouse. The bios does however. Furthermore, I tried putting the boot disc back in but I get to the screen where it asks if I want to try ubuntu or just install it and the mouse/keyboard also won't register. Any recomendations? [01:29] I didnt know ubuntu had a firewall by default... - tonsofpcs [01:30] quant: for my it says that I am using version 6 update 20 [01:31] intervade, its on my list to learn to do that. I'm looking for a sale camera right now. [01:31] intrader: I'm in a rescue mode from live cd. I cd to /home but I cannot see any file or directory. When I installed I remember to chose encrypt my home directory. How I can get access to .profile ? [01:32] Thats so ho~7 [01:32] ~ [01:32] zetheroo, yes, same [01:33] quant: that's odd ... 'cause you probably also have update 22 installed in synaptic ... [01:33] zetheroo, let me check again [01:33] zetheroo, it's 22, you're right [01:34] quant: hmm [01:34] Why can't I VNC into my buddy's PC who currently has a PC booted up to an Ubuntu LiveCD? He has all of the forwarding settings set right, etc. [01:35] Roasted: your buddy uses what ubuntu version? [01:35] 10.10 [01:35] quant: but still oddly you can still access that page ... whereas I cannot [01:35] Roasted: does he have the vnc set to active also? [01:35] He's troubleshooting a pc from 600 miles away from me, and he's in a livecd on it truobleshooting something but I cant remote in [01:35] what do you mean "set to active" [01:35] he has it enabled, and the port forwarded [01:35] ahhhh trying to run ubuntu on virtual box and its not working. these are the directions im using: http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox [01:35] Roasted: can you login with ssh? [01:35] I see zero reason it's not working, when my laptop/desktop (both ubuntu) work using the saem instructions [01:36] sacarlson, I have no idea? [01:36] how do I try [01:36] Roasted: than say thanks to some developers: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/634571 [01:36] it says no bootable meduim found! system halted [01:36] Roasted: try ssh into his system, from there you can activate vnc if you really need it from the command prompt [01:37] Hey does anyone have an answer to this question?: [01:37] Hey, i'm just trying to boot into 10.10. I installed some updates last night and rebooted and when I came back ubuntu didn't recognize my usb keyboard/mouse. The bios does however. Furthermore, I tried putting the boot disc back in but I get to the screen where it asks if I want to try ubuntu or just install it and the mouse/keyboard also won't register. Any recomendations? [01:37] Roasted: oh ssh server is not installed at default for a live boot [01:37] sacarlson, hes trying teamviewer at the moment. [01:37] sacarlson, btw I'm not sure how this bug link matters - Im on 10.10 and it works perfectly. [01:38] sacarlson, he's behind a smooth wall and all kinds of firewall stuff so I'm not sure if it's something on his end or not. [01:38] this is a dumb question, but what do you do with WINE? [01:38] newhcj: run windows applications [01:38] quant: btw ... did you open that dell link in FF? [01:39] newhcj: WINE is used to run Windows programs in Ubuntu (or any Linux) [01:39] how do i check what the current resolution im running ? [01:39] zetheroo, yes [01:39] quant: ok ... because that link works fine for me in Chromium ... but not at all in FF [01:39] Flannel: MaximLevitsky: like a program thats only for windows or a game or something? [01:40] newhcj: yes, but bear in mind that wine usually don't work [01:40] quant: and this is testing on two machines both running fully updated 10.10 [01:40] oh [01:40] :( [01:40] newhcj, actually it usually works [01:40] newhcj: Yeah, lots of programs written for Windows can be successfully run in Ubuntu via Wine [01:40] Ok perhaps here someone can help me. [01:41] Flannel: lots != all [01:41] Folks, I tried running many windows programs in wine [01:41] thanks guys... how would i use it [01:41] newhcj, e.g. I play WoW with no problem with Wine [01:41] I went to the Fedora channel only to get bumrushed and not helped. [01:41] !wine | newhcj [01:41] newhcj: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:41] tonsofpcs: Right, I never claimed all. [01:41] Some work, yeas, but its is very disappointing to see many not work [01:41] hey guys if i install 10.04 on my 8.04 do i have to format my disk? [01:41] MrWhite1127: is your question about ubuntu¿ [01:42] Roasted: I never seen this teamviewer I just us the default preinstalled vnc, why must you use that one? [01:42] sacarlson, teamviewer is working [01:42] Ish_: you can upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 [01:42] Roasted: ok so what isn't working? [01:42] sacarlson, teamviewer is nothing short of awesome. no need to forward ports, works across mac linux windows. its great. [01:42] sacarlson, standard VNC built into Ubuntu wasnt working [01:42] sacarlson, teamviewer works fine. he installed it on the livecd. [01:42] sacarlson, Im not sure if its a livecd limitation or not, or if its a setup thing on his end with using a firewall, smoothwall, etc [01:42] Flannel: just making it clear [01:43] some people hear that and go "oh, i can use this app! yay!" [01:43] Roasted: I've used vnc across platforms also including windows even with a browser interface [01:43] and then try and fail hard [01:43] sacarlson, that's great - I have too - but HERE on a livecd, VNC has failed. Teamviewer works great as we speak. [01:43] sacarlson, not sure if its cause of the livecd or what. [01:43] Roasted: I asume your problem is you are atempting to control one remote software with another that is a different protocal [01:43] sacarlson, even still [01:44] vnc does not work when I expected it to [01:44] teamviewer does [01:44] Roasted: well if teamviewer works than I would use that as your solution. don't need more than one solution [01:44] xangua, will the upgrade require me to format? [01:44] Ish_: no [01:45] !upgrade | Ish_ [01:45] Ish_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:45] Have they removed the fullscreen option in konsole in 10.10? [01:45] Ok. I have windows 7 ultimate on an Asus EEE PC 1005ha, the hard drive is bumped up to 320gigs and i have 2 gigs of ram, Intel Atom n270 at 1.6 ghz. My questions are, Would Kubuntu or Ubuntu be more responsive than Windows 7 Ultimate? and What Does ubuntu have to offer for Media playing and DVD authoring and encoding. I have used several linux distros before and im not really a linux newbie. [01:45] jeje [01:46] I want something a little more advanced than Rythmbox or Totem [01:46] or YMMV [01:46] MrWhite1127, advanced in what way? [01:46] so, when i connect my android phone and put in USB mount enable, my /media/ folder doesn't autopopulate [01:47] More Feature rich without being cluttered. [01:47] what command (from the terminal) would i have to issue to get it to recognize that my phone is connected? [01:47] MrWhite1127, try banshee and go back to windows if you don't like any of those [01:47] MrWhite1127: Banshee or Audacious, perhaps? [01:47] MrWhite1127, also amarok [01:48] ive always gotten freeze ups with amarok. [01:48] MrWhite1127: 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] MrWhite1127: 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 stuf === bcnice20|Chillin is now known as bcnice20 [01:49] well I ran Ubuntu NBR for about 8 months. === xero is now known as Guest15739 [01:50] Well I havnt really had a problem with authoring before. Im not out for conversion speeds rather than quality. [01:50] Umm, I need help [01:51] Could anyone help? [01:51] Id rather my movie come out sharp with clear audio 2+ hours later than have a copy thats pixelated and fuzzy audio in 30 mins. [01:51] John_Abbott: with what? [01:51] John_Abbott what do you want? [01:51] And we need a question first man. [01:51] I get an error message when starting ubuntu on my PC [01:51] uhm [01:51] John_Abbott, should I get my crystal ball to see what message is it? [01:51] John_Abbott: What is the message saying. [01:52] It says "failed due to unknown user id (0) [01:52] John_Abbott what's the error? [01:52] ^ [01:52] Up there dude [01:52] That soun slike this -> [01:52] Isnt that the auto log in failing? If im correct? [01:52] Yeah [01:52] I wanted to test it [01:53] but it wont let me [01:53] During start - Error: kehboard not connected. press to continue...

[01:54] I have the computer on the error [01:54] quant: if there is no kehboard how can he? [01:54] MrWhite1127: I've use adobe premier on window that was good for video, but have had some problems with video editing in linux. the recordmydesktop has been working ok for me here on ubuntu [01:54] Ugh. [01:54] Is it possible to connect to internet through usb link??? [01:55] quant: yeah...lol [01:55] not ethernet [01:55] well I use SoThink DVD Creator. Its free and its amazing. [01:55] Ugh, gotta wait again. [01:56] Could I please get some help here? [01:56] Is it possible to connect to internet through usb link??? [01:56] not ethernet [01:56] Also winavi works decent if your out for speed. 850+mb .avi Converted to DVD structure with custom Menus and Okay picture and audio in about 30 mins. [01:56] CrimsonIdol, you there [01:57] John38: yes. Buy a USB wifi stick. [01:57] so, when i connect my android phone and put in USB mount enable, my /media/ folder doesn't autopopulate [01:57] what command (from the terminal) would i have to issue to get it to recognize that my phone is connected? [01:57] anon33_, autopopulate? [01:57] MrWhite1127, no i mean wired connection with modem instead of ethernet from modem to pc i use usb cable [01:57] anon33_ : is debug mode/Testing Mode ticked in the phone?\ [01:58] MrWhite1127: well that sothink apears to be just a flash video capture tool and ubuntu has that [01:58] No it works for everything. Its converting an avi as i type. lol Sothink DVD Maker [01:59] Is there a support channel on the ubuntu server? [01:59] How sweet cedega is. been using 3 hours and it still sux dick.

[02:00] try turning that off and disconnect and reconnect [02:01] close,minimize,maximize are on the left side [02:01] which are very wierd [02:01] !controls | arcsky [02:01] arcsky: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

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.

[02:15] creyato, try adding the applet in the gnome panel [02:15] Ish_: I kept the original boot so I could move back until I fixed the new stuf [02:15] The CD Installing linux Server 10.04 Is not bootting what is doing [02:15] creyato, right click on the panel then add then choose the one for brightness etc. [02:15] muahaha [02:16] sacarlson, i have that option? [02:16] and how do i choose to upgrate less than 5 MB ? [02:16] quant: 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] creyato, what graphics card do you have? [02:16] Intel N10 I believe. [02:16] New1, please explain more clearly [02:16] Ish_: only if you backed up your original or installed onto an unused or new partition [02:17] hi, I want to use nfs what is mount --bind good for? [02:17] quant: Intel N10 I believe... The brightness applet doesn't even acknolwedge that I can adjust the brightness === kasper_ is now known as eights [02:17] Ish_: it took me weeks to fix most of my apps [02:17] quant: It just shows a N/A sign in the icon and the slider is all the way down. [02:17] creyato, I can do it in ATI Catalyst, perhaps try to do it if you have something similar for your graphics card [02:18] creyato, try the fn key down and the left/right arrows on keyboard [02:18] Ish_: you might try virtualbox to test all your apps you now use before you install on a real partition [02:18] creyato, you can also try xgamma -gamma 0.5 to 1.5 etc., but I don't find that satisfying [02:19] nit-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] instead 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 so [02:19] creyato, alright that works good luck ;) [02:19] is gaybuntu been release abytime soon? [02:19] anytime* [02:19] so what is the command for that? [02:20] dzup2: there is no such distro and if there is it will NOT be supported here.

Please help me [02:22] New1: the longer you wait to do the update the longer the download will take as new updates are added [02:23] New1, you cannot just update, you must install new versions [02:23] New1, yes but you can see the list with a terminal update copy that list to a gedit the arrange it into a apt-get install [02:23] IdleOne sure i agree too [02:24] studentz: xterm? do you mean text login with ctrl alt f1 thing?

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.

[03:48] yes it wont even mount it. [03:49] thunk Yes I want to reset my gdm configuration to Ubuntu defaults How to do that? [03:49] ZoomaBaresAll: I assume you're trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [03:49] FrozenFire: yes [03:49] why is it the key for the number of workspaces lives in /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces when it seems like every wm uses it? [03:50] studentz: if X server is the problem just rename xorg.conf file and restart [03:50] FrozenFire, earlier, i asked about firefox and the same app. is there a bug for that too? [03:51] StrangeCharm: Just FYI, the password manager for Ubuntu is called "Seahorse" [03:51] pksadiq: X server is ok [03:51] As for Firefox, it implements its password storage in an SQLite database, iirc. [03:51] I try to hook my phone up but it just keeps looping back and forth and wont mount. I think it thinks it is already mounted. [03:51] pksadiq I already did it . I remove it and restart . But the problem is still there. Any other suggestion? [03:51] FrozenFire, not something that one can tell from the "inside" [03:51] studentz: do not rename the conf file [03:52] ZoomaBaresAll: I haven't forgotten about you ;). Just reading up on your chipset. [03:52] studentz: I thing there is something like sudo X --configure [03:52] FrozenFire: cheers, no worries no hurries [03:52] It seems that it's a known issue that your chipset does not have good out-of-the-box support. [03:53] How do I unmount a usb that I cant see. [03:53] I knew it! this always happens. i buy machines with unsupported hardware [03:53] studentz: it's sudo Xorg -configure [03:53] ZoomaBaresAll: New machines always tend to have these sorts of issues. [03:53] pksadiq:gparted is chugging away. looks like i'll get ubuntu installed in sdb, but why can i never scan sda with gparted? any idea? [03:53] hi [03:53] Meiam: is your phone is detected by ubuntu? [03:53] that makes sense [03:53] Especially things like netbooks, because they use slightly non-standard hardware. [03:53] Hi, I hava a java app that I stop with ^C , and I'm trying to run it as daemon with update-rc.d ? how can I do it? I really dont' know what to put in the stop section of the script [03:53] studentz: do not reconfigure xorg pls [03:53] any way to make 'apt-cache' search only a single repo? [03:53] No [03:53] gotcha [03:54] pksadiq: the X server is ok [03:54] Gorroth, why would you want to [03:54] because i do [03:54] which is why my sister had no problem installing on her five year old laptop [03:54] ZoomaBaresAll: At what stage does the error happen? [03:54] antipop: did you look at skeleton?

[03:55] just wondering if it's possible or not. i didn't see anything in the man pages about it really [03:55] how can i test my wifi connection. ping sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't [03:55] Gnea [03:55] it happens when i restart, hit f12 to boot from the USB, and select the USB. it says "graphics initiliazation failure" or something, and goes to a command line that just says "boot:" [03:55] thunkee I'm in tty1 thinking what I should do? [03:55] studentz: still looking [03:55] antipop: should be in /etc/init.d/ [03:56] brophat you can ask sb. help you ,connect your computer === jeff_ is now known as Guest47299 [03:57] ZoomaBaresAll: Funny enough, the solution seems to simply be to type "help" when it says boot: [03:57] Then enter, of course. [03:57] Gnea looking at it, but the issue [03:57] is that currently I stop the app with contro-c [03:57] I was wandering I am currently on kde 3.5, is it worth it at all to go to 4.0 and up or will it slow down a lot of stuff like vista? [03:57] No my phone is not detected by ubuntu [03:57] but how do I stop it from the init script ? [03:57] FrozenFire: thanks a lot! i'll give that a try, and hop back on here if that doesn't work [03:57] Guest47299, what version of kubuntu [03:57] How can i get the program ncdump?? [03:57] ZoomaBaresAll: Good luck :) [03:57] bazhang, 10.10 Maverick [03:58] thanks [03:58] Guest47299, from a PPA? [03:58] bazhang, yeah [03:58] Meiam: after plugging your phone try lsusb, does it show? [03:58] Meiam: What model is your phone? [03:58] Guest47299, doubtful === fleshwormx is now known as c-Toxz [03:58] bazhang, i was just asking if I should upgrade or not [03:59] bazhang, I forget where I installed kubuntu from [03:59] Guest47299, you purged it? in lieu of the ppa? [03:59] antipop: antipop can you pastebin what you have so far? [03:59] I got a hard question if anyone can help out. [03:59] !ask | DonJuan [03:59] DonJuan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:59] lol [03:59] Hi [03:59] bazhang, no I installed normal ubuntu, then I installed kde 3.5, and I am wandering if 4.0 would slow down my system [03:59] c-Toxz, ? [03:59] hm may or not be the place to ask [03:59] Hi [03:59] does ubuntu come with a command line app that takes in a number and outputs that number in words? [03:59] studentz: sudo stop gdm [03:59] Guest47299, if you can run gnome, then kde4 wont be an issue [03:59] if so what is it called? [03:59] Gnea https://gist.github.com/717552 [04:00] pksadiq: No it does not show my phone. [04:00] newbyx86: nafaik [04:00] Does anyone know of a way that I can install ubuntu by booting in GParted? I've got a computer that refuses to boot from my thumb drive although booting from USB is an option and no access to CD's. [04:00] newbyx86: You mean converting something like "123" to "One hundred twenty three"? [04:00] yeap [04:00] antipop: I'm guessing that this is your first shell script [04:00] Hi [04:00] Meiam: again , does dmesg shows anything related to phone? [04:00] Hi [04:00] bazhang, weird part is gnome slows down my games kde 3.5 doesnt, so I am worried 3d games on kde 4.0 will slow down like gnome [04:00] FrozenFire: yes, rather. [04:00] AMTechHelp, hi [04:00] anyone know torcs , a 3d car racing game? i have an analog pad but it doesn t work what should i do? [04:01] thunkee stop gdm Unknown instance. [04:01] Gnea its my first init.d script [04:01] newbyx86: I don't think there's anything for that. It's too esoteric an issue. [04:01] antipop: ah, then you should know that variables ought to be defined outside of case loops [04:01] Guest47299, not sure there, as I dont run 3D games [04:01] newbyx86: You could write a script to accomplish that, though. [04:01] gdm stop give some messages [04:01] studentz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ignore errors then apt-get purge gdm then apt-get install gdm [04:01] AMTechHelp: heh- your making me get hilighted in two channels :P [04:02] studentz: sry apts with sudo in front [04:02] yeah likely could [04:02] Okay is it better then to install the nvidia driver from the website or use the Opensource one Ubuntu recommends === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [04:02] eh oh well [04:02] thanks for the help fellas [04:02] DonJuan: There are a few solutions. [04:02] Guest47299, for 3D likely the proprietary one [04:02] DonJuan: Firstly, you might consider a "Network Installation" [04:02] bazhang, thats the one from the website right? sorry its late for me [04:03] Guest47299, from hardware drivers though, not the website [04:03] Gnea https://gist.github.com/717552 [04:03] DonJuan: 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] FrozenFire: I looked into that, but most of the processes were for booting either from a dedicated server or from another Linux machine. [04:03] Hello all. I need some serious help here: I haven't been able to share folders using samba, no matter how I try to do it. gadmin-samba shows the status as "Activated, Inactiver servers: nmbd, winbindd". PLEASE HELP ME. TIA!!! [04:03] !caps | nimbiotics [04:03] nimbiotics: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [04:03] Guest47299, 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 vary [04:04] thunkee done. Now what is the next step? [04:04] studentz: sudo start gdm [04:04] bazhang, so your saying for 3d I should install the one from the website I know about the kernel parts [04:04] FrozenFire: 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] antipop: 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] anyone know torcs , a 3d car racing game? i have an analog pad but it doesn t work what should i do? [04:04] Guest47299, from hardware drivers (additional drivers) not the website [04:04] FrozenFire, sry [04:05] bazhang, okay then that wont change much drivers wise I mean, cause thats what I am running right now [04:05] Gnea how can I create the f [04:05] FrozenFire, sry. Im desperate, been trying for 2 days already [04:05] pid file? [04:05] and still slowdown in gnome for me [04:05] DonJuan: During initialization (prior to the bootloader) the system generally provides a "boot menu" [04:05] Gnea how can I create the pid file? [04:05] DonJuan: Typically, that's F12 or something similar. [04:05] Guest47299, that wont change it, no [04:05] thunkee get the login screen I log in but without success. [04:05] nimbiotics: And I'd be happy to help. You just have to elaborate further on the issue. [04:05] nimbiotics: apt-get install swat [04:06] studentz: same as at the beginning? [04:06] I recall trying to help earlier, but you got stuck trying to enable the Location Bar in Nautilus. [04:06] nimbiotics: then check via browser to change setting... [04:06] FrozenFire: 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] thunkee yes [04:06] DonJuan: It's possible that the thumbdrive doesn't support booting.

[04:07] sorry [04:07] Wubi will install Ubuntu in a file on the Windows partition. [04:07] antipop: there aer a bunch of examples in /etc/init.d/ just run this then look at a few files to see how it works: grep -i pid * [04:07] hi, i have ubuntu 10.10 instaled on my HP laptop...it was working...now if i try to boot it boots into command prompt...can someone help me to fix it [04:07] It's generally safe to use. [04:07] Gnea looking... [04:08] hallo all [04:08] Meiam: I think , you have to change some settings in phone, probably in the connectivity of settings [04:08] FrozenFire: Doesn't that install ubuntu within the Windows OS? Not really the option I was wanting to go for. [04:08] consoleart: try startx and see if it starts the gui [04:08] studentz: gdm support page points out it can be memory/disk space problem, do you have enough disk space and memory? commands: free and df [04:08] no it does not [04:08] it throws up error and stops.. [04:08] I'm having trouble wiriting a script... are there value types in scripts? [04:08] Thunkee I don't know if this important . I left my box in hibernation while i get my new hd (black friday). Then I installed my HD . I did not log in-out normally [04:08] hola [04:08] DonJuan: It's not at all risky. It's something I do often for those who wish to try Ubuntu without making a permanent change to their system. [04:08] DonJuan: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer [04:08] consoleart: what ubuntu did you install? the desktop version? [04:09] i have logged into using fail safe graphics mode...and its working...but if i boot up normallyy it goes to command prompt [04:09] desktop version [04:09] hi [04:09] yes [04:09] thunkee yes I have 6gb of memory and 2 tb in my two hd [04:09] consoleart: what is the error? [04:09] FrozenFire: I've got the link pulled up already, thanks though. I'm looking to get ubuntu permanently installed on here though. [04:09] pksadiq: it works on my other computer. It mounted up just fine the first time but then I did not mount it in the terminal and so something is screw up. [04:09] DonJuan: If portability is absolutely necessary, you might go pick yourself up an external hard disk enclosure. [04:09] some audio driver error [04:09] i dont know the actual content [04:10] Hi guys quick question. I am using ubuntu10.10 and trying to run the command "service vsftpd stop". But I get this warning: "stop: Unknown instance:" Can someone please tell me how to fix this? [04:10] consoleart: i'm not real good at X issues. but i never saw audio issues stopping it from starting. [04:10] DonJuan: Are you installing to the same drive as Windows is on? [04:10] FrozenFire, Im a noob, dont know what to tell you. I ve got a smal home LAN, one win pc and ubuntu on the other one. Have shares on the win pc and i cant even see the pc on nautilus. OTH I shared a folder using gadmin-samba and another one from nautilus and, again; I cannot se the linux pc on windows. Purdeg samba, deleted smb.conf and reinstalled. same thing. gadmin-samab keeps giving me... [04:10] Meiam: but it dmesg says it's disconnected before setting up, isn't it, might be some erors with cable or you have to try obexftp [04:10] ...same status [04:10] DonJuan: Or do you have a separate disk in the system? [04:10] studentz: should be enough :) you have a swap partition? [04:11] if you can tell me how do i check the log for error i will do and will let you know... === amagee is now known as Guest35764 [04:11] nimbiotics: That really sounds like a networking problem. Check the IP address of each system and tell me them. [04:11] yes I do , and I think that it is big enough(16 gb) [04:11] dfcnvt: how do i check settings via browser? [04:11] FrozenFire: I going to install ubuntu over the current Windows installation. This desktop has two HDD's, and I planned to use one for system and the other for the home partition. [04:11] consoleart: if it was me i'd try reinstallling X but others here might have a better solution. anyone..? [04:11] how do reinstall just x... [04:12] i can try it ...no problem for me [04:12] is there a solution to watch quicktime movies on ubuntu? on web browsers [04:12] FrozenFire: First of all, I must tell you that im using DHCP on my router, could that be an issue? [04:12] consoleart: sec, i'll look up what i use to install minimal X. you're using gnome right? [04:12] consoleart, can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.log [04:12] DonJuan: What you could do is install the Ubuntu installer to a partition on the end of the home-partition disk, install the system, then remove the installer partition and resize your home partition to the size of the disk. [04:13] yes...gnome [04:13] pksadiq: what is obexftp? [04:13] hi, whats the best way to dual boot. - Via the WUBi install, or by cdrom, so the Operating systems are more side by side? [04:13] nimbiotics: DHCP isn't really an issue at all. [04:13] nimbiotics: What I'm looking for is the possibility that your systems are within two different subnets. [04:13] qwertyjustin: Wubi isn't a dual boot option in the normal sense. It just allows you to run Ubuntu from within Windows. [04:13] FrozenFire: linux pc: 192.168.1.101 // win pc: 192.168.1.102 [04:14] pfifo: no such file in my machine.... [04:14] nimbiotics: Alright, so the systems are indeed on the same subnet. That's good. [04:14] DonJuan: ahh yes. is it any slower or have any drawbacks? [04:14] Meiam: most nokia phones can be mounted as obex, this tool is used to mount obex file systems , I don't know whether HTC too uses that [04:14] nimbiotics: Are you running a firewall on either system? [04:14] consoleart, there should be xorg logs somewhere in /var/log [04:14] nimbiotics: *Especially* the Windows system. [04:15] qwertyjustin: Not sure to be honest, never personally used it. I wouldn't imagine so depending on what the system your using has hardware wise. [04:15] pfifo: i have some 6-7 org logs [04:15] consoleart, how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:15] ok...wht is the pastebin url ? [04:15] nimbiotics: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787076%28WS.10%29.aspx There's how to enable file sharing through Windows Firewall, which you may have enabled. [04:15] go it [04:15] pastebin.com [04:16] FrozenFire: on both, but taka a look at he "Handle connections on" setting I'm geting from gadmin-samba: 127.0.0.1/8 192.168.0.1/24 [04:16] nimbiotics: Well... yeah, that would be a problem. === aaron_ is now known as Aaron_S [04:16] It's not configured to accept connections on the adapter you're apparently using. [04:16] pfifo: http://pastebin.com/nQcDgfRa [04:17] anyone know torcs , a 3d car racing game? i have an analog pad but it doesn t work what should i do? [04:17] DonJuan: 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 cras [04:17] Basic structural question: what's a good place to store python scripts that run regularly? I can't put them in /etc/cron.hourly for examble because they're Python, right? [04:17] pksadiq: that did not work. I think that my computer already thinks that it is mounted. [04:18] FoolsRun: Depends on the context of the script. If it's a root script, you might put it in /root [04:18] If it's a user script, put it in the user's home directory. [04:18] what's the command to extract a tar.gz to a specific location [04:18] Meiam: does ls /dev/sd* shows sda, sdb etc? [04:18] Depends fully upon whose crontab it's being executed within. [04:18] FrozenFire: it's a root script. Just thought there must be a better place than /root [04:19] consoleart, your problem has nothing todo with audio, your x isnt starting cause it cant find any usable screens. Have you manually tweaked your xorg.conf file? [04:19] FrozenFire: it's in root's crontab [04:19] FoolsRun: /root is the root user's home directory. [04:19] i just opend the applications menu, and right-clicked on one of the entries. now my entire gnome bar isn't responding [04:19] consoleart: there are a few packages. it depends on what you have installed. but if pfifo can help you then you might not need to reinstall packages. i'd try pfifo's suggestions first, as i'm no ubuntu expert. if that fails there's an "ok" guide at http://knol.google.com/k/ubuntu-minimal-desktop-installation-guide# but it really depends on what you have installed. [04:19] pfifo: no...it was working one day and the next time its not [04:20] sk8rjess: you want the -C switch [04:20] FrozenFire: what should this value be? The "Allowed hosts and networks" value does look weird to me also: 127. 192.168.1 , as well as "Anounce this server to:": 192.168.0.255 and Retreive announcements from": 192.168.0.255 [04:20] consoleart: i'm from kybrd for a while... [04:20] consoleart, did you install updates on that day, or perhaps switch to using nvidia/ati drivers? [04:20] I need help with a script, please :) [04:20] Pksadiq: ya it does sta, sda1, sda2, sda5, sdb and sdb1 [04:20] jeje [04:21] i installed updates for nvidia... [04:21] nimbiotics: Honestly, I've never had to mess with gadmin-samba [04:21] It's odd that you would need to. [04:21] For the most part, it autoconfigures. [04:21] justanotherguy: thanks...i will go with pfifo suggestions... [04:21] pfifo: yes i installed updates [04:22] nimbiotics: Have you read the Samba guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba)? [04:22] deww: what do you mean? [04:22] nimbiotics: Just to clarify. You cannot see your Win7 shares from Ubuntu? [04:22] Q: I am trying to use SSH on ubuntu to connect to my iPhone via SSH. Anyone know how to do this? [04:22] Meiam: try sudo mkdir /media/phone && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/phone [04:22] FrozenFire: im doing this for the second time on same pc's, now with new OSs installed; but first time was a reall pain in the butt too === c-Toxz is now known as borikenmedia [04:22] I have already been able to turn on SSH on my iphone [04:23] FishFace: 'ive read the guide. PCs are xp and ubuntu and neither one can see the other [04:23] thunkee Why gnome is in tty8 and not in tty7? Also I have tty5 login, but I swear I did not. [04:23] Lizzard88: Not really within the scope of Ubuntu support. [04:24] nimbiotics: All right. Thought it was a Win7 thing [04:24] FrozenFire: 'ive read the guide. PCs are xp and ubuntu and neither one can see the other [04:24] Lizzard: how are you trying now [04:24] Lizzard88: That sounds like an apple-related question, rather than anything to do with Ubuntu. The SSH client is pretty standard across all systems. [04:25] consoleart, type `sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg` on the terminal and then reboot [04:25] yeah Lizzard, because its somewhat outside the scope and to keep the chat cleaner if you want message me and ill try to help [04:25] no garuntee [04:25] pfifo: yes sor [04:25] FrozenFire, (reading win link) [04:25] pfifo: yes sir [04:25] deww: nvm got it :) [04:25] Well, if someone could tell me how to connect a computer via SSH [04:25] essentially its the same question [04:25] why would my gnome bar stop responding to clicks, but continue to update with application changes and the like? [04:26] how do i view current partitions on my hdd ? [04:26] Lizzard88: ssh user@ip.ad.dr.ess [04:26] pfifo: it did say anything and came to the command prompt again...i will restart and will be back..ok ? [04:26] jeje [04:27] krunal: System->Administration->Disk Utility [04:27] krunal system>admin>disk manager [04:27] StrangeCharm: That'd be an issue with Gnome Panel. [04:27] studentz: hmm tty8 is standard install [04:27] Which is separate from the applications themselves. [04:28] StrangeCharm: I find that happens if I have something like an SSHFS mount which is timing out. It blocks updates to Gnome. [04:28] FrozenFire, what would be some good ways to fix it? === creative is now known as Digistras [04:28] StrangeCharm: Determine any mounts you have that are lagging. [04:28] Beyond that, I don't know what causes it. [04:29] FrozenFire, I have a 530gb ext4 parition that is mounted to /incoming - i don't see it in Computer [04:29] studentz: you can check logs, sudo su then cat /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log [04:29] thunkee ok. I was wrong I though was tty7. In tty7 there is a lot of text. [04:29] FrozenFire, what is an sshfs mount? [04:29] StrangeCharm: Not something you really need to worry about ;) [04:29] pksadiq:mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/phone busy [04:29] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/phone [04:29] studentz: tty7 is terminal for your boot screen [04:29] It's a way of mounting a remote directory to a spot on your filesystem, via SSH. [04:30] FrozenFire, well, it seems that it is of concern to me at this time, because my gnome panel isn't responding [04:30] Nother question [04:30] I have unbuntu installed [04:30] But, [04:30] StrangeCharm: My recommendation would be to simply restart X [04:30] My internet is only laptop. [04:30] pfifo: i restarted...but its the same...booting to command prompt [04:30] Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [04:30] Save anything you have running, first. [04:31] But [04:31] I forget whether I enabled /home encryption when installing this last time, how can I check? [04:31] krunal: Check the directory permissions on /incoming [04:31] krunal: It might not be available because you don't have read access. [04:31] How to I hook up my laptop (with a ethernet cable) and make the internet work? [04:31] FrozenFire, how do i make that happen? ctrl-alt-del is mapped to a menu. is there a console command i can use? [04:31] consoleart, what kind of videocard do you have? [04:31] krunal: I would recommend unmount it and the remount it using the Disk Utility. [04:32] Meiam: so I think it's already mounted [04:32] StrangeCharm: As I said, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Not Ctrl-Alt-Delete. [04:32] FrozenFire, how do i unmount it ? sudo unmount /incoming ? [04:32] thunkee no output [04:32] Meiam: cd /media [04:32] pfifo: how do i check ? [04:32] krunal: sudo umount /incoming [04:32] John_Abbot: Does what you're hooking up to (router, another pc, etc) have a DHCP server? [04:32] Meiam: and check the folders there, might be there [04:32] anybody who use ncdump?? [04:32] hi everybody, i have a problem trying to write (p.e. create a single text file) inside a directory where i have rwx permission and i am root. What could be wrong... filesystem, permissions, attributes (has no attributes set)? some idea, friends? 0_0 [04:33] if i encrypt my /home/ folder, will the stop others from booting via live cd and reaching my data? [04:33] FrozenFire, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't do anything [04:33] StrangeCharm: Hrmm... That's odd. [04:33] studentz: ls -l /var/log/gdm are there files have they length? [04:33] StrangeCharm: Might have to do a magic sysrq restart. [04:33] FrozenFire:followed steps on guide, same thing. starting a win/VM on linux pc to see what happens [04:33] FrozenFire, tell me more? [04:33] StrangeCharm: Do the following: [04:33] StrangeCharm: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:33] Meiam: I beleive that you haven't inserted any pendrive or a @nd hard drive,so I assume , the sdb to be your htc [04:33] 2nd* [04:34] 1.) Hit Ctrl+Alt+1 to get to a CLI and login [04:34] 2.) run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:34] StrangeCharm: The basic of the Magic SysRQ restart is that you hold Alt+SysRQ and then press, slowly, seconds between each key, "R-S-E-I-U-B" [04:34] nimbiotics: When you get a chance, look here. Look for 'nikonz' post. It might help you. It did for me in Win7 and should for XP - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue [04:35] Not specifically a ubuntu question, but hopefully you might have the answer. I want to automount my harddrive at boot time, but the problem is that my USB key gets mounted as /dev/sdd at boot time and this drive gets /dev/sde, but if the USB isn't present it will get /dev/sdd. Is there a different way to refer to the device in the /etc/fstab? [04:35] pfifo: how do i check ? [04:35] StrangeCharm: Switching to a TTY and running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart has saved me countless of times when a OpeGL or SDL app borked in fullscreen [04:35] FrozenFire, i acutally already have a terminal, so i'm going to follow ChaoRhi's instruction and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:35] How do I see whether I enabled /home encryption at install? I've forgotten. [04:36] thunkee file :0-slave.log.1 log2 log3 log4 have length [04:36] FishFace: checking [04:36] consoleart, ok i suspect you dont have anything special which is all i needed to know. Im thinking that your trying to load a specialized driver but you dont have a specialized card [04:36] dangerous: uuid is one way or label is another [04:36] studentz: is your gdm running in the moment? [04:36] deww: thanks - gives me something to google [04:37] sweetandy: System->Administration->Disk Utility should tell you.

But I can get out [04:37] Hello, recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, and now I have no window borders, nor can I switch workspaces, among other issues. I've tried completely removing compiz and then reinstalling and that hasn't helped. What should I look for to figure out what the problem is and fix it?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm not really ready to upgrade the OS. I'm sure, if I work at it, I can figure out how to upgrade Glib; but is this just going to cascade? That is, will I get sucked into one dependency after another until nothing but an OS upgrade will end it? [04:50] pfifo: ok, i appreciate your help...i will shutdown/start and will be back [04:50] thunkee sudo killall give me verbose inf. Did I forget something else in this command? [04:51] -- For that matter, will upgrade to 10.4 solve it all? [04:51] studentz: pls cat /etc/group and look at line nopasswdlogin [04:51] FrozenFire:: Thank you. Something must be broken since I never get any reply from that. Not even from status. [04:52] heya all, I'm trying to download xubuntu for a veeery old IBM laptop, but it seems like all the download options are really slow [04:52] torrent isn't even connecting [04:52] direct dl is est. at a day or two. [04:52] studentz: hopefully is was killall X :) [04:52] calamity: The torrent might require that you configure port forwarding on your router. [04:52] Meiam: I said lsusb , not lsmod === Koopa516 is now known as BSOD_SLEEPING [04:53] thunkee :x:121 [04:53] calamity: As for direct download, I tend to get good rates on it. [04:53] [#ubuntu] k-litic [04:53] borikenmedia-wls, pardon? [04:53] I have no issues witth other downloads, torrent or otherwise. I was more wondering if anyone knew of a possible server issue? [04:53] calamity, download the 10.10 minimal install and then use it to install base system, then once installed issue 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' [04:54] good idea :) [04:54] Where would I get the minimal install? [04:54] calamity: It could be the mirror you're using ;) [04:54] !minimal > calamity [04:54] calamity, please see my private message [04:54] pksadiq: Sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/536946/plain/ [04:55] pfifo: here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/fwscnWjm [04:55] !minimal > ChaoRhi [04:55] ChaoRhi, please see my private message [04:55] calamity, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:55] bazhang: That seems like a roundabout way. [04:55] pfifo: i tried modprobe i915 and start x...it did not start...it showed up the same error...no screens foudn etc., [04:55] It's more likely that he's simply downloading from a poor mirror. [04:55] Selecting a faster mirror is the preferable solution. [04:56] FrozenFire, I did not suggest it, he asked for the minimal link [04:56] calamity: I used to use Xubuntu, it's not as well supported as the others and lacks a lot of features, I switched to regular Ubuntu with no compositing and it worked about as fast. [04:56] woah. nevermind. the torrent just fixed itself... [04:56] haha [04:56] Meiam: try disconnecting and reconnecting the phone and check the dmesg again, any way, it's not connected now [04:56] Whacka, well I'm mostly just needing internet access. [04:57] studentz: just a test, type your login name behind like in other lines before, you can use nano /etc/group as editor [04:57] Hi everyone. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install Nvidia drivers the "official" way (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia), however, in the Hardware Drivers program, no options are available for installation. Can anyone help? (P.S. I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX5500) [04:57] pksadiq: ya I know ...that is the problem I think it is this /media/phone that is still out there it wont let me unmount it. [04:58] calamity, Try checking if your ISP has an FTP server, they often have linux ISOs there. [04:58] tgp1994, Try installing it from Ubuntu itself, System > Admin > Hardware Drivers [04:58] Krishnandu: That's what I said I was trying to do :\ [04:59] tgp1994, If no drivers are listed there, then probably it doesn't have the drivers for your card [04:59] Krishnandu: There were, before I uninstalled the drivers, (in an attempt to reinstall them) [05:00] how can i change the links in the 'communication' menu in the system tray (the one that launches empathy)? i want to change the command that launches empathy to something else. [05:00] lol [05:00] pfifo: did you get my pastebin ? [05:00] / [05:00] hi [05:00] lol [05:00] borikenmedia-wls, stop that please [05:00] tgp1994, Well, I'm not on ubuntu right now, but I think there is an option for checking for drivers, it'll find if any drivers available automatically [05:00] pksadiq: look here is dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/536947/plain/ [05:00] as? [05:00] Meiam: the path /media/phone has mounted nothing, but it's just a folder created manually, you remove it by sudo rm -R /media/phone [05:00] Krishnandu: I'll look for that, thanks. [05:01] borikenmedia-wls, stop with the random nonsense please [05:01] tgp1994: Thos drivers should be around. I used that card only till recently. How about just going to the Update manager itself - not hardware updates. See if that flys. [05:01] tgp1994, :) [05:01] consoleart, ok im not seeing any modules that are not getting loading and i915 is there, it looks like this problem is beyond me. For future reference, never ever ever update your system, they will ALWAYS break stuff, even the critical security updates should be ignored. [05:01] :( [05:01] Hey, how do you install Ubuntu with a 1GB thumb drive? [05:01] Aeronius, using unetbootin [05:01] Meiam: again pastebin dmesg, if ther is changes [05:01] Hey guys can someone check your download speeds on my server http://www.gujaratisuvichar.com/ubuntu-10.10-server-i386.iso [05:01] FishFace: 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] borikenmedia-wls: This is a support channel. Did you have a support question? [05:02] for? [05:02] borikenmedia-wls, for Ubuntu [05:02] pfifo: so what do you suggest for me...can i install x once again...if yes the please give me any pointers ///thnx [05:02] okay this thing is so old the graphical install isn't working [05:02] Aeronius, In windows use Unetbootin to create Live USB and in Ubuntu there is ubuntu disc creator [05:02] jeje [05:02] letme see [05:02] Is there a way to use the old sttyle install? [05:02] FishFace: I don't seem to have any updates at the moment. Any other ideas? [05:02] thunkee 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" [05:03] I'm using the USB disk creator, but it says 1GB is too small [05:03] this is the ubuntu channel [05:03] doesn't make sense [05:03] tgp1994: Sorry bud. Not for Mint [05:03] consoleart, 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 fresh [05:03] Aeronius, in ubuntu? unetbootin is in the repos [05:03] thunkee pam_sm_authenticate: Called [05:03] memtest results "error: too small lower memory (0x991007 > 0x96c00)" is this a problem? [05:03] FishFace: Pretty much the same as ubuntu, are you sure you don't have any other ideas?

[05:07] Krishnandu: 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] ran it from a command line [05:07] Aeronius, Now start unetbootin from menu [05:07] thunkee pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY :0 [05:07] tgp1994, No no, from hardware drivers in the menu [05:07] I did it from the command line instead, got a window called UNetbootin [05:08] Krishnandu: I don't have any menus there :( [05:08] thunkee pam_unix (gdm:session) : session closed for user myname [05:08] thunkee that is all [05:08] Aeronius, Ya now use that to create live usb [05:08] tgp1994, No idea then, wait and see what other member replies [05:08] can someone tell me how ti get my background process to the front again? fg %id says "no such job" [05:08] Krishnandu: Alright, thanks. [05:08] Wait, when I select Ubuntu as the distribution, the latest it gives me is 9.04_Live [05:08] I guess I'm going to have to return, the appearance customizer kind of crashed gnome. [05:09] tgp1994, Are you sure there is nothing like "Search for hardware drivers"?? [05:09] Aeronius, you'll need the 10.10 iso [05:09] Aeronius, use the ISO that you already have instead [05:09] Krishnandu: Correct. It seemed like it was trying to search when I started it up, although I'm assuming that failed. [05:09] ok, select diskimage, ISO, 10.10 64 [05:09] tgp1994, Well, that seems to be a different problem [05:09] hrm. safe-graphics mode might work? [05:10] Aeronius, Ahh, you are using x86_64?? Then I guess 1GB is really small for that [05:10] noobie25: how did you send it to the background? [05:10] Aeronius, Not sure though, confirm from bazhang [05:10] Krishnandu, no it wont [05:10] deww: i think it went to the background automattically, when i loss connection using ssh. [05:11] bazhang, Okies, but never faced 1GB is too small from ubuntu-disc-creator [05:11] deww: Status is "S" i think this is 'suspended' right? [05:11] noobie25: nope... type "jobs" to see if it's in the bg [05:11] Krishnandu, nor have I using unetbootin [05:11] studentz: is your login name than 9 chars? [05:11] studentz: longer [05:11] bazhang: it says no drive found, reformat as fat32 [05:12] deww: 'jobs' just gives me back the prompt. [05:12] noobie25: did you nohup it [05:12] wastrel: i'm not sure what nohup is... [05:12] bazhang, Ya neither I, used unetbootin too, lets see what happened [05:12] Aeronius, be sure to carefully identify the usb stick [05:12] if the original controlling terminal is gone, you can't get the proc back in the foreground [05:12] Yeah, how do I do that? [05:12] next time use screen [05:12] Thunkee yes it longer than 9 chars and it has digits alphanums n caps [05:13] looks like I could easily bork my system real good like this... [05:13] I clicked show all drives (Use with Care) [05:13] Meiam: I think this is a bug => "usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning", [05:13] Aeronius, Now select the usb drive you can to use [05:13] studentz: first remove your login from /etc/group nopasswdlogin group [05:13] Aeronius, Carefully, selecting wrong drive will erase all data from that [05:14] noobie25: what exactly were you running? jobs don't send themselves to the background automatically? [05:14] Meiam: or you haven't plugged in the cable completly [05:14] wastrel: 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] /dev/sda1, shm, etc... [05:14] Aeronius, You can also refer to Ubuntu Downoad page, there is a tutorial on how to use unetbootin [05:14] thunkee sry my login is only 5 char [05:14] is there a PPA to install linux 2.6.36 and does it break anything? [05:14] studentz: check if home dir is correct ls -l /home [05:14] it goes to like 7, and I don't know which is the usb [05:14] thunkee my paswd is the longer one [05:14] hmm where do i go if i have dumb newbie questions? [05:15] studentz: not your passwd i asked for login name [05:15] Aeronius, open gparted and see what the usb is listed as [05:15] noobie25: like i said, you can't reattach to the process if the original controlling terminal is gone. next time use screen :/ [05:15] shin_, likely not dumb, just ask here [05:15] Aeronius, use mount command in terminal to verify that [05:15] deww: 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] thunkee it is correct [05:16] 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] Does anyone else happen to know why jockey-gtk (Hardware Drivers) cannot detect my nvidia drivers for my Geforce FX 5500?

I went to the drive, right clicked it and went to properties then changed the permissions. [06:39] eagles0513875: but it also cost, what, a cool thousand.. [06:39] but imho the size of solid state drives and what you get size wise doesnt justify the cost [06:39] or the need to spend the money [06:39] eagles0513875: so you can get a $200 netbook, load linux and get sooo close [06:39] im on a 13 inch macbook pro which i got for 1,200 which gets the job done [06:39] did 2 upgrades on it and it purrs like a kitten [06:39] Lol. [06:40] it says the permissions of this drive cant be detected,t says the same for the drive which is writable [06:40] couldnt have asked for anything better besides more then 2 usb slots [06:40] 1,200 for a 13inch computer.

[06:43] bilalakhtar must have a script to detect it. Heh. [06:44] lolscript [06:44] Anyone Can you tell me some NICE Game ROMS in MAME????? [06:44] I mean, he came out of nowhere with it. [06:44] ceaze: you do know this is an ubuntu channel right? [06:45] ceaze: and google def works for ROMS [06:45] !patience | ceaze [06:45] kortsi: quite dead in here. i have only started experimenting wiht it on kubuntu. quick question does your cpu support hardware virtualization, that could be the cause of your error [06:45] ceaze: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[06:45] ceaze: same answer [06:45] I had to do that on a newly formatted NTFS Drive. [06:45] how do i send my vsftpd log to another file location? currently I have "vsftpd_log_file=/home/user/desktop/vsftpd.log" and no file shows up in that directory. I looked at files in /var/log/vsftpd.* and there are some, but the last entry was from a few days ago and I have used it since then [06:45] ANYONE! if i just updated to Lucid, and things aren't working like they should....is there a way to simply go back to the way things were before this update messed everything up? PLEASE SAY YES, AND PLEASE HELP ME DO IT [06:45] eagles0513875: yes, its one of the newer Opterons which does support hardware virtualization [06:46] i tried asking in #vsftpd but it's pretty quiet in there [06:46] mkquist, OK, but i still feel some one will have an answer here [06:46] @loo0oola Go to gnome-look.org and look for orta. Its a nice theme. [06:46] loo0oola: gnomelook.org [06:46] kortsi: i didnt get any erorr like that mine works fine with the occasional popup error about a device not being attached [06:46] kortsi: did you try asking in kvm [06:46] eagles0513875: earlier line says "powernow-k8: Processor cpuid 623 not supported" [06:47] let me check something kortsi [06:47] eagles0513875: nope, maybe I should go ask them [06:47] eagles0513875: the thing is, I had this running so I could install updates and all [06:48] kortsi: go ask in there they could probably shed some light if its a known bug or otherwise [06:48] eagles0513875: all right ill do that, thanks [06:48] I'm planning to replace my system with a new one from parts. Do I have to worry about multi-core processing support? [06:48] i thought updates were a GOOD thing. [06:48] kortsi: isnt the powernow-k8 a powermanagement feature of amd's [06:48] Froodle: Not from the OS standpoint, no. [06:49] magicjoe: just my opinion, but I dont like the 'upgrade' path, takes too long and too many issues. IMHO just easier to install fresh, newer version, backing up, from what I understand is not easy [06:49] eagles0513875: yes I guess it is - perhaps there's a way to disable it... [06:49] kortsi: i wouldnt recommend it [06:49] If I install Ubuntu on another hard drive in addition to my current one, and copy the existing /etc over to the new one, should things just work, apart from changing a few disk names in fstab? [06:49] cuz if your cpu starts over heating then youll get to see things melt === KB1JWQ is now known as oracle [06:50] hi [06:50] mkquist: so there is no "rollback to karmic" script out there, or even an option in synaptic for this? no safeguard from bugs in the update? you update, and its all or nothing? === oracle is now known as KB1JWQ [06:51] magicjoe: not that Im aware of [06:51] eagles0513875: CPU's have internal thermal sensors.. Nothing will melt. =-p [06:51] hey 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] KB1JWQ, so I won't have do anything special during installation? [06:51] why do I get "restart: unknown instance:" when trying to 'sudo restart vsftpd'? [06:51] magicjoe: really, I've just found it easier to install new and reinstall software [06:51] Primedeath: i know care to explain what the amd powernow-k8 technology is [06:51] magicjoe: saves a lot of headaches [06:51] Do i have to like mount it or something? [06:51] Ubuntu 10.04 server won't boot after install. I get a flashing cursor (no grub). Is that a known issue ? [06:52] Some_ux: works fine for me after install [06:52] magicjoe: lucid is solid [06:52] mkquist: 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] Anyone knows some good mame roms?? [06:52] i just updated to lucid. and it broke my compiz stuff. [06:52] That work in ubuntu [06:52] magicjoe: not gonna argue that, just found it easier to roll with it and install fresh [06:52] does anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu 10.10 from a external hard drive [06:53] I will try to install ubuntu 10.10 server [06:53] oldschool: reformat it [06:53] magicjoe: I dont trust the 'update' path with ubuntu, never found it to work well [06:53] so 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] ceaze: MAME ROMs should work about the same anywhere [06:53] hi, 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. [06:54] magicjoe: no rebuild cairo dock, just d/l it [06:54] I didn't have so many issues with 8.04, it was steady as a rock. [06:54] sgo11: 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] I didn't know about that, sgo11, but 64-bit works very well for me [06:54] sgo11: If you know 64-bit works, use 64-bit :) [06:54] rww explained it perfectly. [06:54] is there a POWERPC version of Lucid? [06:54] !ppc | magicjoe [06:54] magicjoe: 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/PowerPCFAQ [06:54] Froodle: Correct. [06:54] rww, Rakko got it. thanks a lot for the reply. I will download 64bit desktop version then. [06:54] magicjoe: 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 version [06:54] hello,when the terminal shows that no such variable,what should I do?/ [06:55] lol [06:55] jc: what variable? what are you trying to do? [06:55] why do I get "restart: unknown instance:" when trying to 'sudo restart vsftpd'? [06:55] Rakko, ok, but do you know some nice ones?? [06:55] mkquist: so if its NOT finding my video card (cant enable visual effects in apperances) how do i know a fresh install will? [06:56] OK, 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] and yeah i asked about p pc and it spit out an auto comment. but i am running karmic p pc now [06:56] Rakko 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 os [06:56] magicjoe: might not, but ubuntu seems to improve with each new, at least long term support, release [06:56] ceaze: nope, sorry [06:57] magicjoe: what gfx are you using? [06:57] mkquist: how do i tell? i am running karmic pow pc [06:57] magicjoe: im running ubuntu on four diff computers and it works well for me [06:57] magicjoe: ? [06:58] magicjoe: It didn't spit out an auto comment. I told it to tell you about that. [06:58] Rakko, uwind [06:58] oldschool: the drive doesn't show up at all in My Computer? [06:58] magicjoe: radeon? [06:58] mkquist: 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 it [06:58] Rakko, ncdump -v uwind,vwind -p 3 zigzag4.nc [06:58] ncdump: uwind: No such variable [06:58] I 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] assuming you meant ubottu. [06:59] jc: sounds like a problem with either ncdump, or your invocation of it [06:59] magicjoe: nvidia seems pretty solid, and come to thing of it, have a little media box uses radeon with no problems... [06:59] Rakko no not no more after i install ubuntu on it the external hard drive [06:59] !usb drive [06:59] yes [07:00] that's odd... I don't know how you would do it in windows [07:00] well, 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 installed [07:00] maybe using control panel->administrator tools->computer management->disk management [07:00] Rakko, i don't think so [07:01] Some_ux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [07:01] My laptop's video card won't support me having both a vga and hdmi monitor [07:01] Rakko, probably.I think I should read the manul more times [07:01] running at the same time.

[07:37] pastebin.org plz [07:38] pastie.org too [07:39] Hello, is there anyone who could help me solve why ubuntu 10.04 wont install and just be stuck at loading? I already did md5sum and i did memory check and they both checked out and i have a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz processor [07:39] should I try to reformat it? [07:39] Aeronius: What filesystem is on the drive? HFS+? [07:39] define 'stuck at loading' [07:39] I'm glad I backed it up, FAT 32 is reported by fdisk [07:39] it takes a LONG time to install [07:40] it just stays at loading screen [07:40] doesn't move [07:40] very good [07:40] hm [07:40] brb! [07:40] http://pastie.org/1327636 [07:41] Aeronius: I had that problem when my HFS+ partition had a bad superblock. The only way to fix it was to install hfsprog(?) and check the disk for errors [07:42] hello guys [07:42] http://pastie.org/1327638 [07:42] icant open up url's in hotot any idea why [07:43] It's just a thumbdrive [07:43] I backed it up before deleting the contents, (yay) should I just try to reformat it? [07:43] I was wanting to make an install disk out of it, but it's only 1 GB [07:44] the USB install creation utility gave me problems because it was too small, then unetbootin wouldn't see it, and ubuntu wouldn't mount it [07:45] Aeronius: 1 GiB should be more than enough. [07:45] for unetbootin, yes [07:45] Really? [07:45] but I need to fix it somehow [07:45] I always thought that you should double the size of the iso [07:46] and all of my eggs are in one basket so to speak [07:46] I need to restart to zero my linux , but i lost the cd , I wanna know if it got a other way to do [07:46] theforwhat: You can re-download the iso and burn a CD. [07:47] S0lder: 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] Jordan_U: you know the USB Startup Disk Creator in System>Administration [07:47] Aeronius: Yes. [07:47] it saw it, but said it was too small [07:47] so I downloaded unetbootin [07:47] Aeronius: It may not have had enough free space. Did you have any files on the flash drive already? === guy is now known as Guest32653 [07:48] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download 2GB free space on the USB installer [07:48] deleted them with ctrl-A and Delete button [07:48] so I guess I'll just reformat it with gparted? [07:49] hello [07:49] maybe that will fix the problems so it can mount. Or maybe it's too old and degenerated to be useful anymore. I didn't use it a whole lot, but it's a little old [07:49] so, gparted reformat? [07:50] Aeronius: Worth a try, yes. [07:50] I'm going to do it [07:50] i need help getting my line-in audio to play through my speakers/headphones === creative is now known as Digistras [07:52] Gparted reports all operations successfully completed, in details, format /dev/sdb1 as fat32 00:00:01 check [07:52] 1 second seems too fast [07:52] but it is just a gig [07:52] Aeronius: It's also small enough that all of the changes can be cached in RAM, then written out to disk while you're doing other things. [07:52] anyways, what do I do to see if it mounts, just uplug it? [07:53] unplug and replug it? [07:53] Aeronius: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/external/ [07:54] oh cool, it's automounted [07:54] USB startup creator must have borked it? [07:54] anyways, now for unetbootin [07:55] Aeronius: 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] damn it, the error message popped up again! [07:56] You 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] I didn't unplug it, it was automounted, so I went ahead and did unetbootin [07:59] [ 1822.583941] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.

[08:02] swimb, I know what you mean. That's the kind of change I don't like. I suppose you tried prefs. [08:02] i didnt :) [08:02] yes it was so nice the way it was [08:02] oh, nautilus prefs? yep i checked [08:03] Aeronius, Did this happen more than once? [08:04] good morning everybody! I have a question with Gnome Do. After I've made an alias to gnome-terminal then in time of next using of Gnome Do the alias isn't saved. [08:04] this happened slightly differently earlier, the drive wasn't mounted, so I selected the partition (carefully) after pointing unetbootin at the proper ISO and it gave a similar error. I just got unetbootin from the repos [08:04] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 [08:06] Aeronius: I think you're going to have problems if you try to make a bootable 10.10 USB with unetbootin or USB creator from 9.10. (though those problems would be completely unrelated to your current problem though). [08:07] ipw2200 seems to be my wireless firmware, would seem unrelated [08:08] test [08:08] Test failed.

[08:14] or tell it to use the nv driver/disable that neovu driver. or dosable plymouth [08:15] Altheas: the 'text' option can disable gdm/plymouth at boot time [08:15] Altheas: Temproarily or permanently?

[08:32] magicjoe: You can mount the root.disk i think via the loopback feature of the mount command. [08:32] magicjoe: Are you booted into the working wubi system now? [08:32] magicjoe: similer to how one would do it for an ISO file.

There is some guy who pasted a script to fix that, but it might be dated [08:42] JordanU:works for me. whatever is most convenient for you [08:42] magicjoe: Either a LiveCD or the wubi install will work. If you boot into wubi there's one less thing to mount so it's slightly easier :) [08:42] FishFace, do i need to install anything from repo [08:42] Hi All, I've been experiencing some latency lately.

[09:46] yup, the file gets removed by /lib/init/bootclean.sh as called by mountnfs-bootclean.sh, heh :P [09:46] magicjoe: You'll run make in the root where the Makefile is, not src.

[10:29] I need a good and simple editor with syntax highlighting (preferably including bash) for shell scripting... any suggestions? [10:30] vim [10:30] hi to all... what i need to write else... rhythmbox-client --play.... what to write just to play a specified file... not just open rythmbox? [10:30] void_pointer: he said simple [10:30] how is vim not simple? [10:30] thanks Aeronius will check that book [10:30] slight learning curve [10:30] nico, gedit is standard [10:30] is all [10:31] ah, I forgot I answered this in #ubuntu. Apologies [10:33] nit-wit: I figure it must be good if the md5's are all right, but I have these lingering doubts [10:33] and I'm really obsessive compulsive about some things... [10:34] On a side note, I've never met anyone who has learned to use vim and regretted it. Especially when you are adminning through SSH. Stallman out [10:34] Let me rephrase... I need a good and simple GUI editor (not in terminal) with syntax highlighting (preferably including bash) for shell scripting... any suggestions? in Windows I used ConText... [10:35] void_pointer: cute [10:36] hi [10:36] any one help me [10:36] i m using 9.4 [10:36] when i m going to configure network [10:36] i m not able to add gateway ip [10:37] route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xx [10:37] sorry, again I forgot this is GUI-land [10:38] void_pointer so what to do now ? u can not help me ! [10:38] sara2010: juts a sec, I will help [10:38] thanks [10:39] sara2010: Is it for a wired or wireless connection? [10:39] wired [10:39] sara2010 I did. Open a console window and type "sudo add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx" where "xxx.xxx.xxx" is the IP of your gateway [10:40] if that works, you can then make the change persistant [10:40] sara2010: Click 'Edit connection' in the Network icon drop-down menu, then select 'Auto eth0' in the window and click Edit [10:40] nicofs: sorry, I thought gedit would have bash highlighting, Scite probably does, but it's probably not enabled by default [10:40] sara2010: after that, go to ipv4 settings and change the drop-down to Manual [10:40] then click add, enter settings then apply [10:41] or you could point and click like a windows refugee. It's up to you - 10 seconds or 2 minutes [10:41] VIM is the only one that comes up on the first two google pages, really, (and a notepad 2, but I don't know if it's linux compatible or how good it is) [10:41] nicofs out of interest, why not vim? [10:41] void_pointer: For Windows refugees, its best to tell the GUI way [10:41] bilal i did that [10:41] you can use vim like a "GUI" editor [10:41] gvim [10:42] sara2010: But why doesn't it work then? [10:42] it has all the syntax highlighting you need [10:42] sara2010: please be a bit more specific about problems [10:42] bilal [10:42] i m giving gw ip [10:43] when i m going to apply it become 0.0.0.0 [10:44] sara2010: Double click in the entry in that column to open the text field again [10:45] bilal please tell me any command to enter gateway === nadav2 is now known as nadav [10:45] i have try alot gui === iYorkie is now known as York_TheElf [10:46] sara2010 I told you [10:46] you refused to listen [10:46] sara2010: listen to void_pointer then [10:47] okay [10:47] void_pointer [10:47] i m listening you now [10:47] lol [10:47] hey all, anyone know how to get 10.10 + 1215n wireless to work?? [10:48] sara2010 open a terminal window. Type "sudo route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of your gateway [10:48] 'God bless america' [10:48] sara2010 then type "sudo route" [10:48] I hear this call in all circles. Military, Political, Financial and even Churches. But I say America bless God first. Make him proud to be an American then yes he will bless you as a nation. In your coming and in your going, in your dealings and in your negotiations yes I dare say even in your prosperity. But it is not a one way street. Should God reward us for our misdeeds, our greed and... [10:49] ...our lack of mercy. We push our power around like a bully rather than a benefactor. I say let us show God what we want from him and not the other way around because we neither obey nor follow the lead we just goad that he favors us. Now let me show you when he blesses other nations so that you can see what you missed. As far as one nation under God you can kiss my ass. - Elijah [10:49] ElijahsFriend: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:13] Zol: A window manager manages window attriutes, while a desktop manager handles desktop attriutes [11:14] anyone want to explain how i use/install a tar ball? [11:14] Zol, google that this channel is for troubleshooting problem not learning theories. [11:14] hey, I'm about to install a hosting server on Ubuntu (with varnish, memcache, etc) Is it actually recommended to use the 64bit version of the OS? [11:14] Does anyone know of a version of linux I can run on an old computer with only 256 RAM? Ubuntu doesnt seem to be working [11:14] paperchaser: have you used goodgle? [11:14] amanthakur: we do some learning theory on a volunteer basis now and then. [11:14] Merlin_: lubuntu, puppy linux, google for 'mini' disrtos perhaps. [11:14] paperchaser: a tar ball is alike a zip file. how to install it depends on what is inside it. [11:14] Merlin_: Puppy Linux will be good [11:14] Merlin_: try debian [11:15] ha lion, i just figured that some one here would be smart enough [11:15] Merlin_: theres bodhi that just came out. its a minimal ubuntu also. [11:15] paperchaser, untar tar balls. cd in to the folder then ./configure followed by make and make install [11:15] Merlin_: i would say try Lubuntu first [11:15] paperchaser: im certain most of us are [11:15] V1ntage: yes, 64 is espcially recommended for server [11:15] amanthakur: that's probably a decent answer but wont help him... [11:15] thanks anathakur [11:15] chan time [11:15] I already screwed up two discs trying to burn ubuntu [11:15] Aeronius: allright, thanks, just wanted to make sure (been using 32bit up till now) [11:16] Merlin_: puppy linux? dsl? slitaz ? [11:16] hey everyone [11:16] Gnea: Thanks! [11:16] Gnea, hmm but thats not a one line theory...:P [11:16] hey lion thank im just a nube [11:16] alex88: No USB flash drives? [11:16] I have linux but this question isnt really linux related [11:16] Merlin_: you could try 'tiny core linux' also. [11:16] V1ntage: they've also recently removed their warning away from the 64 desktop too [11:16] paperchaser: well you should man tar to not be a noob ;) [11:16] im trying [11:16] np [11:16] paperchaser: what are you trying to install ? [11:17] cgiproxy [11:17] hey guys , I have linux but this question isnt really linux related [11:17] Dr_Willis: tinycore is too small, more for 16Mb (imho) [11:17] !ot | Berklib [11:17] Berklib: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

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] Merlin_: must be windows [11:18] yeah it is [11:19] I want to switch, it's an old machine I just want to keep it running until I can get a new computer [11:19] Merlin_: I found that imgburn worked really well for me when I was exiting Windows [11:19] yeah i'd suggest imgburn too [11:19] could anyone point me in the right direction about this ? I have Ubuntu and winxp. I'd like to use winxp through virtualbox on linux, how is that possible ? [11:19] er, why not get really radical and reinstall? [11:19] imgburn? [11:19] alright [11:19] And puppy Linux should work if you had XP on it [11:19] Tuplad: /join #vbox ? [11:19] cant reinstall windows cuz I dont have my disc anymore [11:20] erUSUL: :D thanks! [11:20] you better get busy installing ubuntu then [11:20] (its 320am here, where are all you people?) [11:20] hmm, don't want to talk against Ubuntu, but if you want lightweight and have a lot of time you can always try slackware or gentoo [11:21] Merlin_: seattle; you must be close [11:21] V1ntage he's a novice. He doesn't want slack or gentoo [11:21] V1ntage: lightweight yes, a lot of time: no [11:21] Tuplad: I do this, it's easy, install ubuntu, install VB OSE, The GUI is a piece of cake to use [11:21] Vancouver Canadian version [11:21] Merlin_: you can alwyas try a linux live cd and a antivires for linux [11:21] void_pointer: Tuplad: good point :) [11:21] Merlin_: Go Nucks!? [11:21] :) [11:21] Merlin_: what version on windows do you run now? [11:21] won't xfce do for Merlin_ ? i ran it on a 128mb [11:22] windows ME? [11:22] Nucks!!! [11:22] :D [11:22] I run Windows XP [11:22] what about xubuntu these days? [11:22] Lubuntu has gotten very well done. and is lighter then xubuntu. [11:22] Merlin_: did you see what I said about puppy? and I understand xubuntu is just as big as ubuntu nowadays... [11:22] Tuplad, you can get a virtualbox from the repos in ubuntu. Or you can download the *.deb file from the www.virtualbox.org [11:23] Its not actually an official variant i think however. [11:23] Aeronius: can't figure it out [11:23] Merlin_: using a av for linux is ment to clean out windows systems [11:23] I looked at puppy [11:23] Puppy linux - is a rather odd linux in many ways. :) it is good to get the work done however. [11:23] Tuplad: what can't you figure, where are you at? [11:23] gogeta? pardon? [11:23] Aeronius: I have VBox, but can't figure out how to start WinXP (which is already installed). [11:23] Merlin_: you said your windows is infected [11:23] yeah it is [11:24] how does everyone type in red? [11:24] Tuplad, whats the big deal in starting a an OS which is already installed...:) [11:24] If anyone has the Weather Report applet on their tool bar can you let me know what the original radar map link is? [11:24] Tuplad: you have two choices, 1) easy, long, but probably best: install a fresh version of windows on a virtual drive [11:24] Merlin_: you have limited ram? [11:25] If you use someon's nickname in your message it shows up highlighted in their client. Merlin_ [11:25] amanthakur: too lazy(?) to reboot each time I want to check movies on my xbox... [11:25] I have 256 RAM [11:25] OH wait....its regional. Never mind. Or NYC area if you have it. [11:25] amanthakur: need to run TVersity so that my xbox can see the server === asig3 is now known as asig [11:25] Jordan_U, yes i have [11:25] Aeronius: they just told me at the #vbox channel that it's not advised to do that, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows I guess I'll just reboot <_< [11:25] honestly I just want a fresh install of something so I can just go back to basics [11:25] oh..so with saved data i can change kernel [11:25] Tuplad, i m talking about the installed machine in vbox not dual boot....:) [11:25] 2) use some kind of utility to ghost your installed partition into a virtual drive and run that [11:26] Hi, can someone help me troubleshoot a router? [11:26] Jordan_U, then with chroot also to installed machine right? [11:26] alex88: Yes. [11:26] is 2) what you were advised against? [11:26] Tuplad, you said you have installed winXP in vbox [11:26] Merlin_: http://www.avg.com/ie-en/avg-rescue-cd [11:26] Jordan_U, thank you very much )L: [11:26] Tuplad: it can be done, you create a virtal disk from an existing partition that's all [11:26] my AVG isnt even working right [11:26] alex88: You're welcome. [11:26] wat is diferences of latest version Ubuntu on Jaunty [11:26] It works, but sluggishly and intermittently (as in it gives a lot of 'can't connect to server' on firefox in bursts) [11:26] Tuplad: it's a bad idea to use an existing partition [11:26] amanthakur: I didn't say that, I said winxp is already installed and I'd like to run it through winxp [11:27] Merlin_: or you can use a live cd or instaled linux system to install avg [11:27] JusticeZero, whats the problem [11:27] Aeronius: ghosting sounds nice. [11:27] Merlin_: and scan the windows systemm [11:27] Aeronius: explain why if you will, i haven't had any probs [11:27] amanthakur: run it through vbox I mean [11:27] I have internet.. but it's slow, and web surfing gives a lot of "Can't find server" errors. [11:27] Aeronius: they advised me against using an existing partition [11:27] Merlin_: whatever you do, if you haven't planned or done it already, backup your hard disk before installing a new OS [11:28] guampa: I'm talking from my own experience, an older version of Windows has a lot of installs and uninstalls clogging up the registry, and the possibility of malware [11:28] Connecting direct to modem solves it instantly (but we have several computers so that isn't a solution) [11:28] Could anyone help me with Remote Desktop Preferences? It says computers are only reachable to me using localhost rather then my IP address? [11:28] Tuplad, what you actually wanna do? Do you want to install linux in vbox? or vice-versa? [11:28] Aeronius: so? it runs as guest, no interaction with the host or other guests unless you provide it [11:28] everything I need has been backed up for a month [11:28] Hi! I've got some problems with gnome panels. I had 3 panels, one up and 2 bottom. I set autohide on the upper one of the bottoms and gnome stucked. I can't even click or something... I've tried to delete ~/.nautilus folder and restart X, but didn't help. What to try next? [11:28] Tuplad: so you get a fresh install, you use linux primarily, so you aren't as exposed to malware [11:28] Resetting the router seems to help somewhat for a bit, we think? but that could be a perception thing. [11:29] Merlin_: then you can just format the system remove any sort of infection heh [11:29] Tuplad: and you use Windows in high performance mode without needing antiviruses and stuff like that clogging up your resources [11:29] just for what you need it to do [11:29] gogeta, thats the problem, I cant get a sytem that will run [11:29] !resetpanels | Atlantic777 [11:29] Atlantic777: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:29] amanthakur: at this moment, I always dual boot. I either choose ubuntu or windows. Windows is for running adobe software and sharing movies for my xbox. I'd like to be able to start windows without rebooting. So the same partition that is on my hdd now, I would like to run! [11:29] Merlin_: linux cd? [11:29] I have tried Ubuntu a bunch of times that doesnt work [11:29] JusticeZero, do you get constant replies when you ping your router? [11:30] How would I check? [11:30] Merlin_: that avg link i gave you is a ive cd [11:30] Aeronius: good thinking... guess I'll have to reinstall it again then ;( [11:30] ok I will check [11:30] Tuplad: good luck, it's for the best really [11:30] haha unbelievable [11:30] Merlin_: at 256mb the ubuntu live cd works but ir crawls [11:30] Can someone help me with remote desktop? [11:31] Merlin_: you probly thought it was locked up [11:31] If you have 256 MB, use Puppy [11:31] JusticeZero: use the ping command [11:31] Yautja_Cetanu: yea team viewer nice and simple works threw firewalls [11:31] or DSL [11:31] I have the terminal up, but not familiar with ping or networks enough to know the syntax. [11:32] JusticeZero, ping your router. and notice time [11:32] what crawls? Ubuntu seemed totally locked up [11:32] I preferred puppy [11:32] Hi. Tried adding this repository -- https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa -- but I get a "404 Not found" when trying to load it. Should it work ? [11:32] gogeta: I think I had it working but I selected "configure network to automatically accept connections" and now it doesn't work [11:32] Merlin_: yea 256mb xubuntu and lubuntu works on that ammount of ram [11:32] man ping JusticeZero [11:32] or just type ping [ipaddress] [11:32] brb [11:32] Aeronius: thanks! [11:32] gogeta: that's what I said [11:32] JusticeZero, ping 192.168.1.1 in case your router ip is this one [11:32] geez now I have to learn how to down install something else [11:32] Yautja_Cetanu: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx [11:33] Tuplad: you're welcome, glad to be of service [11:33] at least I know how to get around my BIOS really fast [11:33] Yautja_Cetanu: nice being its totaly cross platform [11:33] JusticeZero: i'm not sure how useful the data will be from ping for you. [11:33] gogeta: ok its sorted [11:33] Ranges from .630ms to almost .900 ms [11:34] Yautja_Cetanu: thers a relly good nativ linux vnc that so fast it works in real time but i forgot the name [11:35] yeah I don't know. It feels like the router is constipated or something in a way. *shrug* [11:35] Merlin_: heh [11:36] Merlin: If your computer will boot from a flashdrive you could try Unetbooten to make a bootable flashdrive it will automaticy downlaod many distros [11:36] JusticeZero, it seems that locally your connection is fine. There may be the problems with the externel wirings or your DNS. [11:36] try a different router; also try upgrade the firmware [11:36] I have no flashdrive [11:36] Merlin_: well if your gonna whipe all data [11:36] and I am running out of CDs [11:36] What would be the next tests? [11:36] hmm? [11:36] Merlin_: use a rw [11:36] i dont have one at the moment [11:37] I can probably get one tomorrow though [11:37] As mentioned, if the router is taken out and computer connected direct to modem, the internet runs perfectly and blazingly fast.

[11:55] g___: how does any windows user brake windows [11:55] bys [11:55] Some form of hen had to lay the egg, but it may have been outside of the bounds of what we presently classify as being a 'chicken'. so. egg.

[12:21] so i just apt-get install locate [12:21] is that the name of whatever it is that locates? :P [12:21] histo like gave me errors when installing, but i do have flash working now tho [12:22] ok i'll check to see if that helps histo [12:22] shmup: it should be installed by default [12:22] it wasn't :/ [12:22] 10.04 server [12:22] bazhang: love how thats a insta priacy [12:22] shmup: okay well after it's installed sudo updatedb then you can locate something [12:22] gogeta, pardon? [12:22] bazhang: movies,games [12:22] jonny: you just download them as you would in windows [12:23] jonny: games can be found in Applications > Ubuntu software center [12:23] histo: nothing, so i shall create one. [12:23] shmup: let me check hold up [12:23] histo: i'd like a nice vanilla one to start with. [12:23] histo: mk. [12:23] bazhang: guess you for got the oss games youtube netflicks etc [12:24] gogeta, lets move on please [12:24] shmup: /usr/share/vim/vimrc and /usr/share/vim/vimrc.tiny [12:24] lol [12:24] hmm... [12:24] shmup: or you can find examples online [12:24] histo: i wonder why you had 'em by default? [12:24] histo: but you're more or less telling me they have to go there? or just that you have 'em there and i should look. [12:24] shmup: I don't know what version of ubuntu you are running but locate should have been installed [12:25] shmup: I would look there. they are there on my install be default [12:25] !find updatedb [12:25] Found: nss-updatedb [12:25] histo: wow i do have 'em.. [12:25] histo: i wonder why locate didn't yield anything [12:25] Hei, can't all wireless card being bridged? [12:25] shmup: it uses a database.. updated daily [12:25] histo: i had to sudo :P [12:25] Dr_Willis: it updates the database for locate [12:26] sudo updatedb, then use locate [12:26] gynter: dunno i knoe some do not support ap mode i assume all can do ad-hoc [12:26] Dr_Willis: well after it was freshly installed. It has a cron job to run every so often so most people never need to run it. Say if you new files extracted you woul dhave to updatedb before locate could see them. [12:26] Dr_Willis histo: well it's cool and all that vimrc is in those directories, so i have 'em but... can't i have vim use a .vimrc from /home ? [12:26] What i'm trying to achive is that I get my connection from wlan0 and I want to bridge it with eth0 [12:27] :/ [12:27] shmup: I believe vim's default behavior should use .vimrc . [12:27] shmup: i meant /home/shmup/.vimrc [12:27] just having it read from a different dir [12:27] shmup: you may want to join #vim for more help [12:27] gynter: why would you bridge wireless to a wired [12:27] word ^ thanks [12:28] gogeta, because I don't have long cable :) temporary solution [12:28] gynter: umm [12:28] ap -> laptop -> desktop [12:28] gynter: so just use wireless [12:29] desktop doens't got wireless [12:29] gynter: or do you mean ics to another pc [12:29] !ics J| gynter [12:29] !ics | gynter [12:29] gynter: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [12:29] gynter: its not bridging you whant you whant ics [12:30] gynter: go to network-manager in system slect auto eth0 in the ipv4 setting set it to shared with other pcs [12:30] gogeta, the idea is not to make a gateway from my laptop, I don't want 2 routers [12:30] gynter: you have enabled ics [12:30] histo do you know if the webcamstudio works with ubuntu 10.10? [12:30] i have to patch /drivers/ata/ahci.c b/drivers/ata/ahci.c to make my hdd working. is possible just to build the module? [12:30] GhostWolf: don't know I used it once in 10.04 [12:30] shmup: it uses ~/.vimrc by default i thought. it has for me. [12:30] histo ok cause on the site to isntall it just says for 10.04 and earlier [12:30] gynter: well to share to te desktop thats how you do it [12:30] shmup: /home/shmup is your personal directory, so you'll have to create your own vimrc, of course :> [12:30] histo should it install same way you think? [12:30] yeah, i just had to create my own i guess.. makes sense [12:31] GhostWolf: correct if you follow the link I sent you. [12:31] histo ok [12:31] gynter: briding only makes 2 card act as one [12:32] gynter: like if you have 2 internet connections [12:32] gynter: to share a connection with another pc you use ics [12:34] how is it last ubuntu version? [12:34] I have downloaded the source of gcc 3.3.4 and runed the config on terminal and before that I installed all the programs listed on the compile tutorial on ubuntu webpage [12:34] what do I do next? [12:34] how do I run the compiler? [12:34] novato_br: okay [12:34] I'll get it [12:34] Hi, I am running a basic version of ubuntu ( bootstrap, openssh, lighttpd, php and mysql ). When I hit the power button, I want "shutdown -h now" to be called, how do I do this ? [12:35] david506, you must be root user [12:35] !gcc > d4n1s [12:35] d4n1s, please see my private message [12:35] or you must have to root's privilege [12:35] david506: check /etc/init/ i seem to recall somthing related to that in there. but i never looked into it much [12:36] david506: install power management [12:36] powermgmt-base ? [12:37] apmd ? [12:37] pm-utils ? [12:37] david506: thisis close --> control-alt-delete.conf - it controlsl what happens when ya hit alt-ctrl-del. there may be a simile rthing for power down [12:37] david506: how'd you install from ubuntu minimal? [12:37] david506: it should have power management [12:38] david506: but I would start with pm-utils [12:38] debootstrap /media/mydisk, than I put it in the other machine and ran "apt-get install openssh php5-cgi lighttpd" [12:38] david506: unless you want to go lighter === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [12:39] powermgmt-base was installed on my desktop, so I assume it's that one [12:39] david506: you should have pm-utils also i'm sure they depend on each other [12:40] pm-utils requires powermgmt-base === ashish is now known as Guest49186 [12:40] david506: exactly [12:40] hey whs thr [12:41] my daughter has awoken, I'll do this later. thanks [12:41] I have a problem with make [12:41] it says [12:41] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

[12:43] d4n1s: putting an additional compiler on the machine, esepcially when building from source is very risky [12:43] to what question? [12:43] bonhoffer: sorry, that was for bilalakhtar but he quit as I was tab completing [12:44] got it [12:44] ok... well I want to install gcc 3.3.4 because that is the compiler I am advised from the competition to use, if I wont the program I will make might greatly different especially when I am giving a specific running time of the program [12:44] ola [12:44] also on the finals of the competition I will have to use it [12:45] d4n1s: do you understand how to build software on a linux platform ? [12:45] I am new to linux but I have read this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [12:45] It seems I can't apply it [12:45] what should i do if i have a patch for a bug? [12:45] d4n1s: let me have a quick look, as what your asking for is not something for "begeinners", it's quite dangerous to your system and not easy [12:46] alex88: find the bug and submit the patch on launchpad.net [12:46] #ubuntu-br [12:46] don't worry I am on a virtual box anyways [12:46] join #ubuntu-br [12:46] d4n1s: may as well just install a version of ubuntu that has that compliler included by default then. [12:46] ikonia, it's a patch for a kernel..just put on the file and flag "this contains the patch"? [12:46] alex88: yes, but keep in mind a kernel patch will be a serious patch to progress [12:46] good idea dr.willis [12:46] but which version has? [12:46] Dr_Willis: much better idea [12:47] ikonia, it's just an id add to a driver.. btw, i'll do that..and others will do the rest [12:47] alex88: others will do what ? [12:48] * amal029 is new to IRC [12:48] ikonia, well, if i submit patch that's not all..others have to check it and port to updates right? [12:48] help [12:48] alex88: well, you'll have to do it, or work to get others to do it for you, it won't just happen [12:48] cong: with what [12:48] my bluetooth doesn't work [12:49] ikonia, you told me to upload patch to launchpad.. the bug is 658521..what else? [12:49] i have been told bluetooth disable [12:50] i click button to turn on bluetooth, but it doesn't work [12:50] alex88: needs to be tested and the submitted through the bug process, so you nee to either test it, or get someone to test it for you [12:51] !bluetooth | cong [12:51] cong: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [12:51] ikonia, i'm testing it..if it will work i'll upload to the bug attached with dmesg..

But after system boot, eth0 is up but has no ip. dmesg says something about eth0 not being ready, if thats relevant [13:56] Stava: sudo dhclient [13:56] wtf? I've downloaded the ati proprietary driver, not to install it necessarily, i wanted to build a package for my system, so i ran the installer without being root, and stepped through the process but it somehow got root privaliges [13:56] i'll try that [13:56] * hashashin nas [13:57] i've opened htop to look at what's going on and it's running gksu, but there was NO popup to ask for my password [13:57] it's getting root access without me having to even approve it [13:57] nagchampa: you can build a packaage without root but not install it [13:58] nagchampa: you could be in grop 'wheel' or in one of the 'NOPASSWD' lines in 'sudo' [13:59] Walex: if i run gksu gedit i still get a popup for my password [13:59] histo, no that didnt work, and thats the same output I get when i do ifdown/ifup [13:59] And i'm on the same network with this computer, so the router/dhcp should work [14:00] Hi there: I have 2 500GB external hard drives, same vendor, same brand, same model, that have the exactly the same data in them, given that one is a copy of the other. Both have the same number of files. One external HD is in EXT3, the other is in EXT4. The first one shows 102 MB of free space, the other shows 3.9 GB of free space. I insist that the EXT4 HD is a copy of the data stored in the EXT3 external HD, and I dont und [14:00] erstand the grounds for that difference of free space. Im concerned, as I fear I may have lost some files, or that some files may be corrupted.

[14:13] It just boots x11 into "zero mode" without finding palette drivers [14:13] so when OTTD goes fullscreen, the palette is buggy [14:14] my wiffi this on but I have no manager that detects [14:14] OTTD linux-generic [14:14] but I'll need my chatzilla xpl to chat without being CAPTCHA-d [14:15] I'm on my machine now, but I'm under win7.

I need a short script [14:20] =|= [14:20] 'normal palette drivers'?

[14:44] no shouting [14:44] I need to know, gimp says no image to post [14:44] When you use the Take Screenshot tool-after you click it will ask you where you want the image placed so you can select any folder of the desktop.

[14:52] I am going to order a Ubuntu Lucid VPS my providers offers the 32 and 64 bit option ... I am going to use this vps for apache and a postfix mailserver is 32 ok or are you guys advising me to go for the 64 bit version... What is best to choose? [14:53] st, after you get the source package where do you change the configure parameters [14:53] seme, as arguments to ./configure [14:53] got 64 version [14:53] Gimme a package that binds printscreen to screenshot function [14:53] Im new to the Ubuntu Operating System and was wondering if I could ask for some help. [14:53] st, can I just configure it like I normally would? how do I get it to produce a deb file then? [14:53] burningphantom1: ask [14:53] Skapare: in fact I succeed in retrieve my former file : /etc/network/interfaces [14:54] burningphantom1: Linux does not use drive letters [14:54] Guest75086 what makes you choose for the 64bit version ... I will become a server in my case. [14:54] seme, it's one of making targets, cannot say exactly which [14:54] I installed it this morning after backing up/removing vista, and noticed that the audio doesn't work. [14:54] Skapare : and now I can connect with ssh to this computer put the ip adress is not fix [14:54] if I want to make some ~/file I consider useless a link to something in /tmp, is there any default directory inside /tmp I can use? /tmp/orbit-$user or /tmp/tracker-$user, maybe? [14:54] jaapvisser: my expirience with 64 bit version [14:54] instead, it's hd/sd/cd bus a-z number 1-100 [14:54] in server platform of course [14:54] How can I do that ? [14:54] so I was wondering... how I could get the audio working again [14:54] st, ok let me look at the man page again... it didn't look like you could do it that way [14:55] burningphantom1: for example, sda1 or hda2 [14:55] ok .... tnx Guest76086 [14:55] heelp me Stuck in login gdm error pam_unix(gdm:auth): conversation failed [14:55] but this may be quite confusing for winheads [14:55] ahh.. dpkg-buildpackage [14:55] could you explain how to get to sda1 or hda2 please? [14:56] Ubuntu has a Computer facility in Start2 [14:56] one last question can I specify a different location for all this to happen... for some reason it is all getting downloaded to my home directory [14:56] at least in 8.04 [14:56] or at least it downloads it to the current directory [14:56] but I'd like to force it to happen somewhere else [14:57] in Computer facility, just double-click the normal "name" of the desired CD/partition [14:57] hi ! I created an ssh server on a machine which I called M1. I succeeded to connect with ssh to M1 from an other computer which I called M2. Now I want to fix the M2's IP adress ? How can I do that ? [14:57] seme: what is "all this"? [14:57] jymere: what do you mean by "fix"? [14:57] on your keyboard, press alt+f1, then the right arrow [14:58] burningphantom1: did you find the Computer facility? [14:58] jrib: I don't want that my M2's IP adress change each time I start M2 [14:58] is computer facility called disk utility? [14:58] Computer [14:58] Hell all. [14:58] it's just named "computer [14:58] yes. Im on computer === james is now known as Guest8343 [14:59] jymere, either set it manually or use m2.local as the address [14:59] hi,, lil info needed here.. terminal installing, multi-install,, is it i.e 'sudo apt-get install vlc && gimp && ark' etc ?? [14:59] Remember your needed tome's "name", letters are not used [14:59] I was wondering if anyone knew the origin of the name apache and apache2 for httpd? [14:59] jymere: you'd have to speak with your isp about that. Why don't you just use a dynamic dns service like dyndns.com? [14:59] jymere: You named it after me? :D [14:59] it says file system and cd/dvd drive [14:59] jymere, is this a local pc or remote ? [14:59] jrib: it is a poorly worded question ;)... I meant that I would like to pick a location, say $HOME/src/ubuntu, and when I execute apt-get -b source somepackage it puts all the artifacts there such as the downloaded source, resulting debs, etc [14:59] is there an email client in ubuntu that will both enable me to view multiple inboxes separately, as well as together in sort of a collated view? [14:59] It came up and I realized that I didn't have any idea :) [14:59] duffydack: remote [15:00] M1: sorry :D [15:00] on the left side are some disks [15:00] seme: just run the command from that directory (cd there first), it extracts things to the current working directory. [15:00] hughhalf, i think thunderbird can do that [15:00] trojan_spike, just leave a space between them nothing else it should work. [15:00] jrib: I see on the internet that it was possible [15:00] DEKiMA: sudo apt-get install ... will do it [15:00] jymere, then as jrib suggested, get a dynamic dns service, like dyndns [15:00] i_is_broke, give me an example plz [15:00] That wasn't my question. [15:01] what should I do with the disks? [15:01] I was just curious why it's called apache instead of httpd. [15:01] That's all. [15:01] can i sync my evolution calendar with google calendar? [15:01] jymere: you can get a static ip, sure, through your isp. But more likely you want to just use something like dyndns.com (there are plenty of clients for it in the repositories, like ddclient for example) [15:01] trojan_spike, try like sudo apt-get install conky vlc compiz [15:01] duffydack: but how can I know the adress Ip of M2 ? [15:02] jrib: ok I am about to see it [15:02] jymere: essentially, you'll have something like jymere.dyndns.com that will correspond to M2 always regardless of ip [15:03] jrib: thanks :) [15:03] ty [15:03] hello everyone [15:03] hi === BSOD_SLEEPING is now known as BSOD_AFK [15:04] jrib: I believe I understand. In fact, instead of type the Ip adress of M2, I'd have used the dns name ? is that correct ? [15:04] is this ok to discuss issues in Doxygen [15:04] jymere: yes [15:04] jrib: is it reliable ? [15:04] jymere, I use dyndns, I have a configuration page for it in my router settings..easy peasy [15:04] guys i am installing Ubuntu using Wubi [15:05] this is my first time [15:05] or there is a special channel for doxygen [15:05] is 12 GB enough ? [15:05] duffydack: ok i'll try. thanks a lot ! [15:05] Who, more than enough [15:05] jymere: sure works great [15:05] Who, its more than enough but the preferred method is to install by booting [15:05] duffydack: thanks alot [15:06] !ot [15:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:06] how do I rewrite boot sector on usb stick? [15:07] kane77, grub? [15:08] duffydack, I need to remove grub from there [15:08] http://www.schulterglatze.de/spenden/2502677 thx :D [15:09] kane77, just remove it, not replace with something else?

[15:29] @duffydack if you answered me.pls tell me how to create shortcuts in unity. [15:29] lugalgal: what do you want to know about Unity? [15:30] how do i reverse session settings to default? [15:30] duffydack, yes, that's what I did, but I'm not sure if the numbers in grub config are correct, how does grub get hd numbers? during installation the usb would be hd1 0 is it possible that when booting it will be hd0 0? [15:30] i couldn't create shortcuts and couldn't add buttons to sidebar.i want to learn how to do. [15:31] lugalgal, when you run your program you right click the icon for it on the left, and choose keep in launcher [15:31] weird problem here, my server's cert is rejected by ubuntu-firefox, but its accepted by gentoo-firefox, winXP-firefox and win7-IE [15:32] i checked by comparing the SHA print that ubuntu receives the same cert as the others [15:32] All of the silly effort I made, thanks to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8A4W4h9CQ [15:32] somebody [15:33] can anyone point me to how to figure out why this cert is being rejected on ubuntu? the site is https://the-movement.info [15:33] sorry i didn't get it.when i run a program i will keep it on launcher by doing what? [15:33] hey I'm trying to figure out how to use aplay to play music while I'm playing a mud any ideas? [15:34] * Skapare wonders why Firefox is taking 44 seconds from "click on the icon" to "window is open" [15:34] and what about programs i use in wine like winamp.how to create shorcuts [15:34] * Skapare wonders why Firefox is taking 44 seconds to start because his computer is only 1.6 GHz with only 4GB RAM [15:34] Braber01: command & [15:34] Skapare: Do you have a lot of plugins installed? [15:35] jrib Thanks I figured I forgot the & [15:35] pragmaticenigma: not that I am aware of ... just freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 from scratch [15:35] Skapare: are you running Ubuntu for 64bit? [15:35] yes, 64 bit [15:36] maybe it put a 32 bit Firefox on? [15:36] Skapare: there is only a 32 bit version of Firefox [15:36] #f-spot [15:37] Skapare, It happend to me, not that long but it did. What I did was uninstall the visual effects (who is it called?) [15:37] firefox takes a long time to load first time because of disk slow [15:37] Firefox loads in just a few seconds, using 64bit [15:37] Skapare, *how [15:37] Skapare: 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 installed [15:37] it reads a lot of crap from disk [15:39] Skapare, the compiz! thats what i unistalled and then it worked [15:39] @pragmaticenigma,can you tell me how to create shortcuts for programs like winamp(using with wine)...and please tell me how to add buttons of any programs in sidebar [15:40] lugalgal: I'm not familiar with Unity... I recommend using a regular Ubuntu install for what your attempting to do [15:40] lugalgal, had you read help ? [15:40] a good phone and adress agenda to linux ? [15:41] @st if you mean manual it didn't work. [15:41] anyone know where/how I'd get gconf.pc for pkg-config? I've got gconf2 installed but can't find gconf.pc anywhere. [15:41] the game [15:41] lugalgal: Unity is really intended to be a simple interface for people who aren't too familiar with computers and desire a simple approach to using thier computer. Your looking to do more advanced items, therefore, I would recomend you use a full install of Ubuntu === Koopa516[back] is now known as Koopa516 [15:41] pragmaticenigma, add a program icon isn't 'advanced' item [15:42] pragmaticenigma: so the firefox people only know how to do 32 bit? [15:42] winxordie: sudo updatedb && locate gconf.pc [15:42] yes [15:42] because they're dumb [15:42] Skapare: They aren't interested in making a 64bit application at this time [15:42] winxordie: you probably want libgconf2-dev [15:42] pragmaticenigma, i use ubuntu 10.10 on netbook that's why i have unity.i can move to desktop but it will be harsh for intel atom. === Brasseur is now known as Gfree [15:43] does anyone know why ubuntu isn't playing sound from my laptop speakers? [15:43] pragmaticenigma: 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] lugalgal: 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 time [15:43] burningphantom1: could be a lot of reasons. Have you tried filing a bug (`ubuntu-bug alsa-base`)? [15:43] burningphantom1: your sound mixer is muted [15:44] Skapare: the memory limit is the hardware addressing... 32bit address space only allows for about 4g of memory [15:44] in a 32 bit OS [15:44] wait. where is sound mixer on ubuntu? [15:44] its my first day of using this OS [15:44] burningphantom1: try Applications > Accessories > Terminal, and in it type: alsamixer [15:46] pragmaticenigma: 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 easily [15:46] lmontrie, crimsun: thanks! [15:46] then what? all I see are different bars... master is at 100, headphones at 0, pcm and front are 99, line is at 0, cd is 81, mic is 0 and s/pdif is... 0?

[15:47] my gnome is fugded up and im left waiting with nothign to do! my bottom bar is not displaying active windows. what do? [15:47] how do I open a .run file? [15:47] Skapare: No one should write a program that requires that much RAM, the system would likely crash... Firefox is what it is... You could try Google Chrome, Chromium or Opera too... [15:47] nadav: sh [15:47] somebody! [15:48] is the bottom bar displaying at all? [15:48] hihihi100, yes. tune2fs -m [15:48] JeffS: yes, it displays a few buttons [15:48] JeffS: like "hide all windows on desktop", trash bin and 4 monitors, but that's it [15:48] pragmaticenigma: I wrote a program a few months ago that uses about 48G of RAM .... but it's a maths program doing extremely high precision calculations [15:49] velko, will there be any problem if I do it with storaged data already present in the disk? do I have to do it RIGHT AFTER formatting? [15:49] pragmaticenigma: it runs on about 40 machines that have 64G [15:49] Do you have several desktops? I can toggle between 4. If I accidentally switch to another desktop that has no apps running my bottom bar shows nothing [15:49] orry but is hasnt done anything [15:50] hihihi100, i don't this that there will be any problems. but a backup is always a good idea === kehcho is now known as devzero [15:50] JeffS: that didn't work [15:50] hi, what is the best image burner for .iso files on ubuntu 10.4?

Your talking a program that requires a much more heavy duty machine to begin with [15:50] morning all 0/ [15:50] gotta go here everyone, time to watch Hak5 [15:50] is there no 10.10 ubuntu server version? my 10.04 system says that it cant be upgraded via "sudo do-release-upgrade" already the newest version?

[15:51] mrk_, i believe nautilus can do it without external tools [15:51] JeffS: yes [15:51] anything else I can try to allow sound?

[15:52] Skapare: Chances are that's a ported version that someone or the package maintainers did... all it was is compiled using the 64 bit compiler [15:52] pragmaticenigma, i dont remember using -d on my desktop...there the upgrade went fine [15:53] I set it to login automatically, so I'm pretty sure that's the problem [15:53] hihihi100, type "vel" and press the tab key on your keyboard in order to complete my nick to "velko" [15:53] But how can I change that back via bash or something [15:53] metalfan_: When using the LTS editions of Ubuntu, you have to add the -d to force it to do the upgrade [15:53] pragmaticenigma: that would mean it will have 64 bit pointers, and a few other 64-bit things, and can access more than 4G [15:54] !list [15:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[15:54] Skapare: Not necassarily... the compiler could just simply make it so the libraries can reference each other.. the code inside the program has to be able to do the advanced memory addressing [15:54] how did i add a file to a NFS share ? [15:54] Tweaky, I have the same problem [15:55] cant hear a thing [15:55] doesn't feel like an icon thing. still thinking... [15:55] like this file needs to be shared with nfs /home/user/this_file [15:55] ...Is there anyone here who can help me [15:55] Skapare: Programs written in C and C++ (like Firefox) require some memory management to be coded, if it was written for 32bit proecssors, it will only attempt to address up to the 4G memory cap [15:56] pragmaticenigma: it is possible to make code than can't do more than a 32-bit program would, even when compiled as 64-bit, but that would be some really gawdawful coding (if done in C/C++) [15:56] I'm using 10.04. When I try to run "Touchpad" (under System->Preferences), I get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. [15:56] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics".

It's not able to mount in the system, or neither format through disk utility... any suggestions? [15:58] pragmaticenigma: well written code, even though originally tested on 32-bit, once compiled on 64-bit will be able to use more than 4G by virtue of simply using malloc() and friends correctly, and not doing bit-picking on pointers and such [15:58] metalfan_, , nautilus for image burning, what did you mean? [15:58] This is voluntary service! People need not help you at all [15:59] i am using ubuntu ultimate 2.8 and my firefox doesnt works [15:59] how do you run ubotto [15:59] firefox is opensource and is available if anyone wants to inspect the code [15:59] pragmaticenigma: as a programmer (being doing C since 1982) I know that compiling into a 64-bit environment makes things such that a programmer has to go out of his/her way to be limited to 4G [15:59] bliss: any error msgs? [15:59] hi [15:59] Skapare: That's up to the programmer if they include that... Mozilla has it stated on their own website that they are not currently interested in making a 64bit version.

[16:05] I have a machine tht I hard shut down because it froze [16:06] pragmaticenigma: and is there a fix for this configuration issue? [16:06] And now im at a grub recovery screen [16:06] I have no idea... My version of Firefox on CentOS 5.5 loads up in 5 seconds [16:06] pragmaticenigma, , i'm a total newbie to linux and ubuntu, and trying to work things out at present...for some reason, the software doesn't read my cd drive correctly, and says there is no adequate cd, when there is a perfectly good, blank cd with enough space in the drive [16:06] nsd_: Have you tried swapping the network cards between the two machines? [16:07] nsd_: can these two machines ping each other via their auto-configured link-local IPv6 address? [16:07] Grub rescue has no valid commands .-. [16:07] Skapare: Both machines are using IPv4; I don't even know the first thing about IPv6 [16:07] pragmaticenigma: a 32-bit CentOS? [16:07] mrk_: Have you tried a different disk? [16:07] Skapare: CentOS 64 bit [16:07] pragmaticenigma, i've tried four new ones, the same thing occurs with brasero [16:08] pragmaticenigma: I have not yet tried swapping cards. Would there perhaps be some way of knowing if a card is bad from software? E.g., would the kernel start spitting out messages? I will try swapping cards eventually, though. [16:08] nsd_: this command can show you your IPv6 address, if it is doable: ifconfig eth0 | grep fe80: [16:08] mrk_: Do you have another brand of disk to try? [16:08] ubottu, well, it refers to the xorg.conf file, which I don't have. So? [16:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:08] So nobody even wants to help... [16:08] pragmaticenigma, , i know the discs are sound because i've recorded on them using windows [16:08] nsd_: You could try something like lspci | grep -i "network|ethernet" [16:09] trying to make vitualGL running even if server is at gdm logging in i managed to brake desktop effects for my account and lose some privileges as admin. other users had no effect. i created another admin user and his only problem is that gnome-terminal closes imediately after start. i removed my account , erased my files and recreated my account but problem persists. Just before make a format, have anyone any idea for easy fix? txs [16:09] nsd_: if you get such an address on each machine, then use the "ping6" command, type in the address of the other machine ... and append the string "%eth0" to the IPv6 address when doing that [16:09] I'm trying to fix a problem and I'm being told to edit the xorg.conf file, but I don't have one! [16:09] how do i at least make the settings i make in iwconfig stick, so i dont have to reenter them every time i reboot? [16:09] Skapare: will try [16:09] mrk_: I would try k3b first, if the same issue arises then it's likely a driver issue with Ubuntu and your drive may not be fully supported yet [16:09] C-Peemp, create the xorg.conf gile [16:09] nsd_: if the bad machine shows no interface at all, then yeah, there is a lower level issue [16:09] bluefrog, how? [16:10] pragmaticenigma, skapare: brb [16:10] C-Peemp, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:10] yeah bluefrog I get that, but what do I put in it without screwing up the whole X? [16:10] C-Peemp: the command is: Xorg -configure [16:10] trying to make vitualGL running even if server is at gdm logging in i managed to brake desktop effects for my account and lose some privileges as admin. other users had no effect. i created another admin user and his only problem is that gnome-terminal closes imediately after start. i removed my account , erased my files and recreated my account but problem persists. Just before make a format, have anyone any idea for easy fix? txs [16:10] * Skapare has found every Ubuntu system he has installed since 9.04 has IPv6 ready to go, and has IPv6 link-local addresses auto-configured on all interfaces that come up [16:11] the game [16:11] that will create an xorg.conf file in your home directory, you can then copy it to your /etc/X11 folder [16:11] pragmaticenigma, , that's the conclusion i've come to, which is why i think i'll try the k3b. I did try to write using womid, but the software doesn't replay the burned disc which i 'cdwrote' with womid [16:11] * Skapare has also found IPv6 to be more reliable ... within the LAN ... than IPv4 [16:12] howdy [16:12] C-Peemp, what you have been told to write in it [16:12] Skapare: I don't think his issue is with IPv6 or IPv4, I think there might be a hardware issue [16:12] a few lines concerning SHMConfig, bluefrog. [16:12] pragmaticenigma, , thanks for your help [16:13] pragmaticenigma: if ifconfig doesn't even show his interface, that's almost certainly true ... but if it does, then certain tests can help determine that, and in my experience, the IPv6 tests are more reliable at that [16:13] Skapare: he also mentioned using the same configuration file on both machines... possible that he's trying to use the same static IP address on both machines [16:13] how can i change the default keyring password? [16:13] C-Peemp, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=492984 [16:13] pragmaticenigma: and that is one good reason for doing the IPv6 link-local test [16:13] hello guys i want to help your documentation team a bit regarding Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr on windows 7 [16:13] hi guys [16:13] Skapare: doesn't his router have to support ipv6?

[16:15] hiiiiiiiiiiii [16:15] how can i find help from ankara [16:15] Skapare: I have a router that only supports ipv4, I cannot link between my two ipv6 enabled machines using ipv6 addresses, I have to use ipv4 [16:15] I just added those lines to the newly created file. If my X stops working I'm gonna come back and kill you all ;) [16:15] any idea? [16:15] cheater00: Why?

Thanks for the help thus far [16:18] and are fear-mongering since [16:18] I guess his card swap will be telling ... if the problem moves to the other machine, it was the card [16:19] HI Guys [16:19] or the driver for that card [16:19] cheater00: Please stop the flamewar. :) [16:19] best application to stream video to the XBox 360 on Ubuntu?

When I try to run "Touchpad" (under System->Preferences), I get this error: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics". I added a few lines to that (previously empty) file. Didn't work. [16:22] Guest58245: do you prefer a gui or a command line (Terminal)? [16:22] yes, Skapare. [16:23] (Here I am) [16:23] crimsun, either one long as it works lol [16:23] Guest58245: then you probably want to install the `pavucontrol` package [16:24] pragmaticenigma: 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 address [16:24] crimsun, 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 server [16:25] pragmaticenigma: for example this works for me: ping6 fe80::224:e8ff:fee7:1ecc%eth0 [16:25] hi [16:26] what do i do if my batttery indicator is showing wrong [16:26] Skapare: do you have a link to a good resource on the topic... I've only gotten a small bit of information about IPV6 [16:26] hello, i just do stupid thing - install ubuntu 10.10 near WinXP, and do not set Grub for WinXP... and now can`t find how repair it XD [16:26] pragmaticenigma: unfortunately, no one single resource ... I've had to learn it in bits and pieces ... maybe I should write it up [16:26] Guest58245: I don't understand; can you take screenshots and explain? [16:27] Skapare: That would be very helpful [16:27] pragmaticenigma: most resources describe networks that do have IPv6 routers and/or IPv6 internet or some tunnel broker ... and they focus on that [16:27] crimsun, 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 second [16:27] pragmaticenigma: merely getting IPv6 to work within a LAN took some aggregation of info [16:28] Skapare: yeah... the only exposure I've had on the topic is through a web cast from hak5.org [16:28] Hey guys I have a problem with conky on ubuntu 10.10 when I make it start on startup it appears on top of all programs do you know what i can do to put it on the bottom [16:28] Skapare: I use a Buffalo router with the stock firmware, I'm sure if I installed DDWRT on it I would have an IPv6 enabled router [16:28] Guest58245: which version of Skype are you using? [16:28] pragmaticenigma: but IPv6 done manually can be simpler than IPv4 ... except in cases of LONG addresses [16:29] crimsun, the latest from skype.com so skype something beta 2 [16:29] Guest58245: E.g., I'm using 2.1.0.81-1ubuntu5 from the partner repository. [16:29] pragmaticenigma: but I use short IPv6 addresses on my LANs ... like fc01::4 [16:29] Skapare: The shortening is just because everyting between the fc01 and 4 was all zeroed out [16:29] crimsun, it says ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1 [16:30] * sedulous agrees that IPv6 is actually simpler than IPv4 (if you count in NAT) [16:30] Guest58245: are you still on Intrepid? [16:30] Please help me! I was trying install a nautilus extension called tracker-tag-tab.py,I put it to ~/.nautilus/python-extensions/ ,and modify it's permission to execute, and restart nautilus,But it's doesnt work [16:30] crimsun, no it was the only one I could find on Skypes website I am on maverick running kde 3.5 [16:31] Guest58245: ah, well, for reference, it's also in the Canonical partner repository. [16:31] pragmaticenigma: on one machine do: ifconfig add fc01::4/16 .... on another machine in the same LAN do: ifconfig add fc01::5/16 ... that should get those machines going temporarily on IPv6 with not too long of addresses to try with [16:31] crimsun, oh okay i didnt know that lol [16:32] pragmaticenigma: correction "ifconfig eth0 add fc01::4/16" etc [16:32] ntu.gr [16:32] Skapare: I'd prefer not too... my MythTV box and main desktop have a link between them for files... don't wanna monkey with addressing right now [16:32] crimsun, nvm I got it working using that pavucontrol ty now I just have to fix my firefox problem lol [16:32] Guest58245: anyhow, the fact that you only see PulseAudio server (local) is expected.

I have no root access + there is no gcc, so no way to compiel it from source [16:34] hwo do i check my connection speed on my wireless? weither it is on a or g [16:34] Skapare: good way to debug is to launch from a terminal window... lots of garbage is written out [16:35] groundnuty, no [16:35] pragmaticenigma: good idea [16:35] Guest58245: What is the file and program you want associated? [16:35] groundnuty: if you could compule the stuff elsewhere. you could copy it over.

Bass is bust, treble is terrible [16:41] abstrakt, or do you mean checkinstall perhaps? [16:41] Guest58245: I'm not really sure why that would happen... You could go to Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Applications Tab and try defining the file type there... otherwise, I usually download my fles and open them manually in the file browser, not through firefox [16:41] velko, hmm actually that sounds very much like what I remember [16:41] pragmaticenigma, okay ty will try that [16:41] velko, thanks :) I'll go look for docs on checkinstall [16:42] crimsun: everything is working as far as connecting to the internet.

I executed it in the terminal ad says that it can't find the libao.so.2 [17:12] it's named eth2 so i did sudo ifconfig eth2 up and I didn't get any error [17:12] Don't anybody face with the problem of old program and font in them?

What's the shortest way to get maverick installed? Do I really need to temporarily install karmic to burn the maverick cd? [17:36] NFS comes into picture only after the system is booted up I guess [17:36] jon__, via modem (adsl) [17:36] pretty stiff here xD [17:36] black betty - ram jam [17:36] goldroger, that'd be tricky in my case, since my root filesystem *IS* nfs [17:36] I looked all over on the internet. No avail... I've already installed blueman, bluetooth, apex-server, bluez... I dunno what else.. [17:36] oh [17:36] jon__, i have a program from my isp and it connects me to the internet with username/password [17:37] which already means the upstart scripts never activate networking or filesystem mounting [since the kernel did at boot], so a number of things just don't start) [17:37] I want to browse my cellphone via bluetooth, I need to know which program do I need to go get them... [17:37] oh [17:37] ok [17:37] And due to apparently nobody ever comprehending that a system could boot without networking *OR* filesystem mounting scripts, there's jack info about how to configure upstart to behave with it. [17:38] jon__, Is everything i had done saved automatically? so i won't have to repeat that afeter reboot? [17:39] Hi, where do I find the help.ubuntu.com site's source? [17:40] yoghrt, it should be set so that when you boot up it maintains that, because you edited the /etc/interfaces [17:40] yoghrt, the one that can't access the internet, is it connected to a router?

[17:44] if I use LVM to put 6 1TB drives in RAID5, can I expand the array without reformatting the OS [17:44] yeah... I think they just want to maintain one code base [17:45] Skapare: There is nothing wrong with running 32bit on a 64bit machine... it just has left over bits :-) [17:45] lol [17:45] not exactly [17:45] one code base can do both 32-bit and 64-bit, even on one multiple architectures ... BTDT [17:45] 64bit Windows systems have the 32bit libraries built in, but 64bit linux doesn't have that requirement [17:45] Skapare: true, but the 64bit is restricted somewhat by what 32bit limits are [17:45] pragmaticenigma: trying to figure out how to get Ubuntu to install the 32-bit version ... apparently the real issue is the base of plugins [17:46] Is anyone here a pro of sound drivers and devices ? [17:46] :o [17:46] Hi there [17:46] sound drivers are a m355 [17:46] Skapare: you might want to go to mozilla.org and download the *.bin file for firefox [17:46] I installed firestarter, run the wizzard and I still get unknown host... [17:46] m355? [17:46] I had to use that on my CentOS machine until CentOS released a more up-to-date version [17:47] Linux can be compared to a Slylandro drone [17:47] 10.04 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] pragmaticenigma: 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] Would anyone know how to install Ubuntu in text mode ? [17:48] UserX7, /boot/grub/grub.conf (there's some trickery to make it permanant accross kernel updates, but you should be able to figure it out for now) [17:48] Skapare: we should move this convo to a private message [17:48] !alternate | Volny__ [17:48] Volny__: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

You're thinking of grub-legacy files [17:50] can someone help me with my Zsnes problem? it won't run [17:50] I do, but my installer crashes almost instantly [17:50] I figured that was because of my cirrus graphic VGA card [17:50] Volny__, alternate CD doesn't use X, so it should load fine [17:51] I 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] Well, that settles it. Even the alternate CD won't boot on my machine. Thanks anyway [17:52] I'll stick with OpenBSD, which does doot on my machine. [17:52] Volny__: you checked your cd drive lately? [17:52] how would i restart the service that manages my touchpad / is there a way to reload my touchpad (synaptic) drivers without restarting?

[17:56] johnwi: you can keep it [17:56] Hello. I installed ubuntu via USB stick. Things have been working well, and I've added a few non-standard packages with the package manager.

[19:08] barberan: install the p7zip package [19:08] Dr_Willis, BigC_, I can alternate between them if I modify xorg.conf manually, but both running, no dice. [19:08] brad, "sudo apt-get install unrar" [19:08] how do i convert .mkv to .avi?? also i have about 10 files to do this with [19:08] J4nus: p7zip-full [19:08] Sean93, use mencoder [19:08] In ubuntu 10.04 I can't get X to start it Says somthing about No protocall specfiecd when running startx. [19:08] 7zip is superior to all other compression formats [19:09] barberan, I would recommend installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:09] I'm in the process of using my dad's computer to burn 10.10 to a CD [19:09] i have sony vpcf12 with Nvidia card GT 330M those someone know what open source driver do i need? === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [19:09] does anyone know of any problems with cups on Maverick? [19:09] magicianlord, does it include the rar algorithm ? [19:10] Zesturian: you might also want to ask in #xorg as well [19:10] J4nus, is there a mencoder gui? [19:10] yeah um I can't get XWin to start, I can run `startx` but it just shows a black screen and the command line says somethingabout no protocall specified :( [19:10] I have a network printer that always worked great, UNTIL I upgraded to Maverick. Now when I print, it says printer not connected, printer lights flash and I have to turn it off and back on, lots of issues. [19:11] Sean93, there is to encode dvd (like acidrip) but not to convert files or i don't know it [19:11] but you can look for the cmd line mode, it's easy to use, you can find some examples on google [19:12] Sean93: you could also try handbrake as well, but i am not sure if it can convert to .avi [19:12] <_TexNick_> Sean93 : Kdenlive & Cinelerra are both good video converter / editors [19:12] I'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] BigC_, thanks. Be back shortly, I need to force the error as its been logrotated too many times. [19:12] if I want my "deploy" user to be able to run a2ensite and a2dissite without entering a password for sudo [19:12] has anybody had issues with getting X windows to start on 10.04 lately? [19:12] how would that line look in visudo (aka /etc/sudoers) [19:13] Sean93: ffmpeg is a little simpler on the command line, is a very good option === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [19:13] abstrakt: visudo is impossible to use [19:13] Sean93, For doing a number of file conversions, ffmpeg is what I would suggest. [19:13] A bit of bash-fu, and you're gold. [19:13] magicianlord, ? works for me [19:14] abstrakt: how do you make changes and move to the next line, then save? [19:14] I can't get the tcsh to auto complete for me do I use a diffrent key combo? === karthick87 is now known as Guest19608 [19:14] magicianlord, you, um... learn how to use vi... :) [19:14] magicianlord, type vimtutor on your command line some time [19:14] magicianlord, Using VI can be a bit tricky at first, but you learn. It's not my preferred editor, but it's very powerful when you learn to use it. [19:14] abstrakt: impossible :( i use nano [19:14] magicianlord, um, decidedly not impossible [19:14] *anyway* [19:14] how do you save in vi [19:14] emacs can be a mudclient if you dare to script in elisp. [19:15] :w [19:15] magicianlord, dude, run vimtutor [19:15] where is that [19:15] magicianlord, open up gnome-terminal and type "vimtutor" [19:15] magical, except without the quotes [19:15] ok [19:15] magicianlord, ^ [19:15] on ubuntu? [19:15] magicianlord, yes on ubuntu [19:15] magicianlord, or if you prefer, there's this viemu.com/a_vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet_tutorial.html [19:15] thanks homie [19:16] abstrakt: vimtutor, that is a nice tip, I recently started learning vi, but didn't know about vimtutor. [19:16] hmm, http://viemu.com/a_vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet_tutorial.html [19:16] shane4ubuntu, I hate vi incidentally [19:16] shane4ubuntu, but I love vim :) [19:16] i like nano and leafpad [19:16] that's nice [19:16] now [19:16] abstrakt: ahh, ok, vim, I guess that is what I started learning, I always prefered nano, simple straightforward [19:17] what would be the proper syntax for a line in /etc/sudoers to allow a given user to run a given command without requiring the password [19:17] whats better to install pynotify, or notification-daemon [19:17] like if I want my deploy user to be able to run a2ensite without needing a password [19:18] abstrakt, I believe the NOPASSWD tag is what you're looking for [19:18] FrozenFire, right but where does that go? [19:18] how should it look? just for that one user and just for that one command === pure|hate is now known as pure_hate [19:18] shane4ubuntu, do you program much? [19:19] abstrakt: no, only script here and there [19:19] abstrakt, Given that I know you're competent, I have to say RTFM :P [19:19] VISUAL=nano visudo [19:19] man sudoers [19:19] "ray rushmore = NOPASSWD: /bin/kill, /bin/ls, /usr/bin/lprm" [19:20] or you could be a cool dude and just give me the line, because I know you're competent and I know you know I'm competent [19:20] but whatever, that's fine [19:20] :P [19:20] honestly it's a PITA to look up the docs on some of this stuff [19:20] when I know someone in here just knows the exact syntax off the top of their head [19:20] abstrakt: he he, I agree. [19:20] lance [19:21] abstrakt: yeah, why wouldn't someone invent a website to help with searching for these things. We could call it a "search engine" [19:21] Hey all. Trying to install Ubuntu 64-bit on a new, high-end machine. Pretty sure it's failing to recognize the hard drive, as it says it lacks enough space and won't let me proceed- also, GParted says "no devices detected". Running off the live CD now. Halp? [19:21] shane4ubuntu, incidentally if you want, you can put export EDITOR=nano in your .bashrc [19:21] ,s === lance is now known as Guest21222 [19:21] abstrakt: and give them funny names like "google" and "bing" [19:21] doc|home, dude, have you seen the state of some of the docs that people write? please don't preach to the choir [19:21] abstrakt: thanks, did that. :) [19:21] can somebody please help me here [19:21] abstrakt: hehe, I just couldn't resist that :) [19:22] abstrakt: 9 times out of 10, I just need an example of how to use the command, or need to see a conf file. [19:22] or for programs that just use "sensible-editor" you can run "select-editor" and set the one you like [19:23] Anyone know anything about getting ubuntu to recognize a hard drive? [19:23] Can someone respond I really need help please === bweb_ is now known as bweb [19:23] shane4ubuntu, totally [19:23] omg, screw this crap... I hate join/part messages :( [19:23] abstrakt, by the way, adding a user to the "sudo" group on Debian-based systems will, as I understand it, globally exempt them from password requirements. === claw_ is now known as claw === y0sh__ is now known as y0sh_ [19:24] hey [19:24] can anyone help me with some simple JAVA code? [19:24] !question | Guest21222 [19:24] FrozenFire, um, no that just allows you to run sudo commands [19:24] Guest21222: 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. :-) [19:24] >marathon Mebbe. [19:24] FrozenFire, it doesn't exempt you from needing a password [19:24] sorry reasking this because of the split earlier. there is a picture here that shows machine A with the same address on eth0 and tun0. is that right or should tun0 have another address? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN [19:24] abstrakt, I don't believe so. The exempt_group setting in the sudoers file is set to sudo on Debian systems. [19:24] its too big to ask on here [19:24] exit [19:24] !PM > Guest21222 [19:25] Guest21222, please see my private message [19:25] abstrakt, Similarly, I'm able to sudo, but I'm not in the sudo group. [19:25] how can I read from abstract classes into main and print the information stored in the arrays in abstract classes using inheritance? [19:25] I have a problem with Zsnes... When I try to run it it says that it can't find the libao.so.2 library... I'm using maverick 64 bits [19:25] um, there is no exempt_group setting in my /etc/sudoers file at the moment [19:25] is mobile broadband worth buying for $75 usb stick and then $40 unliminted a month for ubuntu? [19:25] FrozenFire, so "if you have exempt_group" or some such, yes probably what you said is true [19:26] >marathon Um, traditionally you shouldn't *have* and information in abstract classes. Or am I missing something? [19:26] Can someone please private message me I really need some emergency help [19:26] anyone know where I could find logs about cups? [19:26] if anyone can help me fix a JAVA error pm me at binarymachina on AIM [19:26] I resized my partitions with gparted and now it can't boot anymore I got grub rescue as result but using the live cd I still have access to the files on both partition. How can I fix it? [19:26] Guest21222 | !ask [19:26] marathon, There's a Java channel on Freenode, I'm sure [19:26] Guest21222: just ask here, and if someone knows they will help, it is best to ask in the main room [19:26] i looked for it [19:26] couldn't find it [19:27] marathon, ##java [19:27] Hey guys, hows ubuntu coming on with read/write on ntfs these days? [19:27] BigC_: I think you got that command backwards, Command | nick. :) [19:27] I am running ubuntu live from usb, I can see all my files from windows. When I try to boot it says missing file biosinfo.inf and i just get a black screen [19:27] WolfDogDesigns, So far as I know, it's fairly stable. [19:27] Um. Am I visible? It was giving me some trouble registering and there was something about too much spam- I'm not in read-only, am I? [19:27] WolfDogDesigns, That's part of FUSE, iirc. === Koopa516 is now known as Koopa516[lunch] [19:27] FreakyCheeseMan: No. :) [19:28] oops, my bad shane4ubuntu [19:28] Well, that's good news, at least. [19:28] !ntfs-3g | FreakyCheeseMan [19:28] FreakyCheeseMan: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions === zenwryly` is now known as zenwryly [19:28] I have a problem with Zsnes... When I try to run it it says that it can't find the libao.so.2 library... I'm using maverick 64 bits [19:28] BigC_: no prob, just wanted to let you know for future reference. [19:28] FrozenFire, hmmm, so having an often used ntfs external harddrive is okay nowdays? [19:28] FreakyCheeseMan: ntfs support has gotten pretty much as good as its ever going to get. [19:28] HaPK_PerCar: as far as i know zsnes is 32bit ONLY... [19:28] HaPK_PerCar: theres other snes emulators out that are 64 bit compat [19:29] Shane any suggestions [19:30] WolfDogDesigns, Yeah, I think the only unstable stuff is the rarely-used specialized aspects of NTFS. [19:30] FrozenFire, cause isnt there a 4 gig file limit on vfat? [19:30] WolfDogDesigns I use it everydays without problem
