It was within the network settings within Virtual Box =) [00:08] MojoWork: if you run: uname -a thats your current kernel, you can then run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 you can see the installed kernels, you can remove the unwanted kernels (but NEVER the running kernel) and they will be removed from the boot list [00:08] superbenjo: sorry last remark was to another super [00:08] MojoWork: can you use an older kernel?

[00:31] smw: I've heard plenty of people claim that rpm is far easier than a deb, so I guess it is swings and roundabouts? [00:32] superbenjo: if you have Karmic Koala then you can use this link: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [00:32] larry2342: that worked! actually i've just commented out the line that made troubles :-) ty b [00:32] superbenjo: But be aware, it is a PPA!

He definitely claims RPM is easier than .deb though :) [00:35] linxeh, I meant to talk to you :-\ [00:35] how can L prevent some of the users showing up as options on the sign on screen [00:35] UnholyTerror, well, you can, it would simply be way more complicated to install [00:35] hello [00:35] dwarder, ~/PDF I think [00:35] !hi | smallie9 [00:35] carandraug, since when?

[00:38] I think its an xserver config thing [00:38] do i need a separate driver for it? [00:38] smw: just kidding ;) [00:38] dwarder, speaking of which. I don't think any human can deliver toys to so many houses in one night. [00:39] dwarder, I think he is an alien :-P [00:39] carandraug, you can install it straight from the website... [00:39] smw: lol NO :-))) [00:39] smallie9, search the ubuntu forum,, u more than likely will need a driver [00:39] SeanInSeattle: you can ignore the .bzr-builddeb thing in there. thats just something i use because i have the debian/ dir in a separate branch from the source code [00:40] k thnx troj [00:40] smw: time is relative to Santa [00:40] UnholyTerror, do you have any support question? [00:40] carandraug, what? [00:40] linxeh: might want to see that link too for how debs work [00:40] larry2342, time is relative to all. But he must be an alien to move fast enough for time to be relative. [00:41] ive got a support question [00:41] maco: ta [00:41] UnholyTerror, this is an ubuntu suppport channel.

[00:42] liminal, why do you want to renumber [00:43] liminal: you mean you want to change which is primary? [00:43] carandraug, I don't have a question... I was offering a suggestion. === daniel is now known as SirDerigo [00:43] !anyone | helpmeat [00:43] helpmeat: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:44] yes exactly [00:44] 1 to be 2 and 2 to be 1 [00:45] liminal: no idea how gui things work, but with xrandr if you use like: xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2 then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary [00:45] liminal: have you tried System->Preferences->Monitors and drag the monitors around as needed (assuming you are using gnome) [00:45] liminal: which means VGA1 --right-of VGA2 and VGA2 --left-of VGA1 are not exactly the same. they end up in the same order, but the primary varies [00:45] when i log in my ssh, it shows 'ip address for lo : 127.0.0.1' but i'm localhost, i have a router (with dhcp) that give ips, but my ubuntu-server dont get my local ip (192.168.1.x) any ideas? [00:46] brontoeee: lo is the localhost loopback interface. it's always 127.0.0.1 [00:47] bezao, run 'ifconfig' and you should see it [00:47] I'm having a devil of a time trying to switch primary monitors between this DVI monitor and my display port monitor in 10.10. I'm using the intel integrated stuff. Any suggestions? Google just has stuff for VGA it looks like [00:47] theacolyte: heh i was just saying this one... [00:47] theacolyte: with xrandr if you use like: xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of VGA2 then because VGA2 is being used as the point of reference for the others, it's considered primary [00:47] theacolyte: just type "xrandr" to see the names it's using for the displays and substitute those in [00:48] maco: Problem is that seems to be for just VGA [00:48] oh [00:48] * theacolyte checks [00:48] theacolyte: no it's not [00:48] carandraug ifconfig only shows 1 ip, 127.0.0.1 [00:48] bezao: ifconfig -a ? [00:48] maco: HDMI2 and DP3 for me [00:48] android users... from a linux geek's perspective... is the phone (or tablets now, I see) going to be what i want, or should I keep looking? # my ideal toy at this point would be a nokia n900 [00:48] theacolyte: on my comp it's LVDS1 and VGA1 [00:49] maco it shows eth2, but no ip, i cannot ping my router 192.168.1.1 [00:49] bezao: sudo dhclient eth2 [00:49] Assange wrote Strobe, the first free and open source port scanner. Nowdys it's included with netdiag. Debian. [00:49] bezao: im guessing you dont have teh computer configed to actually request a dhcp lease automatically [00:49] bezao, can you pastebin it please?

[00:49] maco okay, i got a local ip, but 192.168.1.1 doesnt ping back [00:50] theacolyte: whatever comes *after* the --right-of or teh --left-of is the primary [00:50] ahhhhhhh [00:50] hello everyone, is it possible to use ubuntu using only an usb pen? [00:50] have to restart X I'm assuming? [00:50] theacolyte: no [00:50] fleshpike, yes [00:50] theacolyte: xrandr is for on the fly configuration [00:50] got it, time to test [00:50] maco when i restart my ubuntu, eth2 looses ip again [00:51] bezao: are you using /etc/network/interfaces or network manager? [00:51] bezao: network manager, i think, doesnt try to establish a connection til you login in the GUI [00:51] carandraug : is it fine to surf internet? [00:51] maco /etc/network/interfaces has only 'auto lo' [00:51] maco: That's weird... it cut off half my primary monitor and didn't switch anything hehe [00:51] I'll look up xrandr though [00:51] theacolyte: mm waht command did you do exactly? [00:51] maco, i'm on ubuntu-server [00:52] i'm logged as root [00:52] on terminal [00:52] maco: xrandr --output HDMI2 --right-of DP3 [00:52] bezao: ok then you need to add a stanza for eth2 to the interfaces file [00:52] wtf is stanza? :D [00:52] fleshpike, two ways to do it. 1 - you install the iso on the USB stick so every time you boot from the pen it's as if you're ojn the LiveCD 9asking fi you want to install and everything, or 2 - you burn the iso on a CD or another pen, and then run the installation on the USB stick you want to install (choose manual during the drive configuration step of installation) [00:52] fleshpike, yes, it's fine [00:52] bezao: paragraph [00:53] bezao: or section... or chunk of text....whatever you want to call it [00:53] bezao: with dhcp that's likely just one line i think... auto dhcp eth2 [00:53] auto eth2, iface eth2 inet, this? [00:53] bezao: man 5 interfaces explains [00:53] okay [00:54] mm oh yes the word iface has to be at the start...forgot that [00:54] carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive"? [00:54] ouch, can't figure out how to put it back [00:54] bezao: example from mnpage: iface eth1 inet dhcp [00:54] theacolyte: xrandr --auto [00:54] like this maco http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [00:54] Hi, would anyone know why DVD (lavc) doesn't show up in my encoding list in Avidemux? [00:55] maco: xrandr: cannot find crtc for output LVDS1 [00:55] carandraug : i have a creative zen player. do you know if it is possible to use it as "hard drive". i tryed once to install from it but with no sucess? [00:55] fleshpike, I had one of these. Never tried to do it but I'm guessing yes. [00:55] oh I see how to use it [00:55] one sec === SirDerigo is now known as principencantado [00:56] fleshpike, hmm... if you tried before then I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. Like I said, I never tried it myself [00:56] bezao: yep [00:58] how do you give user "steve" and group "users" full permissions to directory /dir and all subdirectories? [00:58] hello earthlings [00:59] I'm running ubuntu without netmanager, just using the regular debian /etc/network/interfaces for config.. just one wired connection... "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [00:59] maco okay when i restart the server, when i login to ssh it shows lo 127.0.0.1, and eth2 192.168.1.4, BUT i can ping router 192.168.1.1 or my other computer 192.168.1.2 [00:59] and it works fine if the network is available at start, but if it is connected later, it doesn't try dhcp [00:59] it has to be done manually [00:59] so, whats the deal with that [00:59] d1g1ta1, make 'chown -R steve:users /dir' and then 'chmod -R 774 /dir' [01:00] bp0: auto means only that itll try it when the networking service starts [01:00] bp0: if you want something poll the interface constantly...thats what network manager does [01:01] well, not poll constantly, but dhcp when the the link is ready [01:01] maco saw what i wrote? :D [01:01] But if you multiply the proxy servers with the quantam mechanical computers maybe just maybe will you discover the meaning of the universe! [01:01] bezao: yes, and unless you made a typo i dont see the problem [01:02] d1g1ta1, the last number of 774 represents the kind of access you want users that are not steve and not from the group 'users' to have to those files [01:02] 4= read 2 = write 1 = execute (you can add the numbers to make different combinations of access. For example, read + write = 4 +2 = 6, read + execute = 4 + 1 = 5) [01:02] maco typo? [01:02] are pen drive and flash drive the same? [01:02] the first number of the server client on the protocol does not coincide with the network proxy [01:03] bezao: yes you said it gets an ip and you can ping the other things on the network [01:03] sorry [01:03] bezao: did you mean to say can't? [01:03] i can *NOT* [01:03] bump [01:03] maco: Looks like I managed to completely destroy it, how do I reset everything back?

[01:03] I can't get why this is so difficult after all these years [01:03] bezao: is the route properly configured? route -n [01:04] nbbkhj [01:04] a thumb drive? [01:04] theacolyte: log out or reboot and it should revert [01:04] It didn't [01:04] no a pinky drive [01:04] I tried using the GUI monitor thing [01:04] but if you reboot you can unboot [01:04] In few hours, will start the conference on Open Source in Tunisia, Mark Shuttleworth will ensure the keynote @ 8am GMT, Streaming will be ensured here: http://ustre.am/rrdQ [01:04] sigh, not working [01:05] maco: Here it is .config/monitors.xml [01:05] I'm not sure where to ask this question, but is there a way to disable the "delete from drive" option within Banshee?

[01:06] Jordan_U, i know, but i wanted to make the more people possible know about it [01:07] Sorry for the slight off topic anyways Jordan_U :) [01:07] fleshpike, they shouold be the same. But people usually don't know what they're talking about so they may use the terms wrong [01:07] hey. i have a sony vaio with nvidia graphics card. i just activated and installed the driver. now all i get on boot up is a purple screen? whats happening? sorry but im heaps noob at linux [01:07] guys i need some help with ubuntu---just dual booted it with win7 [01:07] shero: What do you need help with? [01:08] fapton_calcon: I have no idea how to use it [01:08] fapton_calcon: I tride the gnome shell command but epic fail [01:08] i read this "Solid state drives that use Flash memory have a limited number of writes over the life of the drive" does usb pen drive have a limited number of writes to? [01:09] shero: You don't need gnome shell to use Ubuntu. [01:09] MaK10, if u have prompt command boot even after installing the driver, try this, sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:09] saw it maco ? [01:09] MaK10, then: startx [01:09] fapton_calcon: ya i'm just giving you an example of me trying to customize [01:09] Hey all [01:09] fleshpike: yes they do but a prity big number [01:09] i have no text on screen [01:09] nothing [01:09] bezao: yeah... and of course the router is the gateway...hrmph... any chance you just have icmp being filtered on a firewall? [01:10] MaK10, try it on safemode then [01:10] anyone here good with ubuntu problem solving? I have a wide array of things id like to do but i dont wanna span the chat [01:10] MaK10, Sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:10] MaK10, Startx [01:10] ok thanks everybody [01:10] maco no, i'm on the same network on win seven, the ubuntu server is runnin on a vbox [01:11] Anyone? [01:11] bezao: oooh.... bridged or nat'd? [01:11] D3luSi0n4L: just solve the most important problems first if posible, then just fix what you can [01:11] maco bridge [01:11] bezao: routing with VMs is...not fun [01:11] bezao: check the windows firewall [01:11] sacarlson, I've tried and have yet to find any solutions [01:12] bezao: see if its allowing things to reach the vm [01:12] 是英伟达驱动导致X-Windows不能启动的？ [01:12] 配置文件没更新吧 [01:12] I guess my first problems, rest are just things id like to tweak is my top bar, at the right side its all misaligned, theres no power button, my username is cut off and the Xchat icon is over another [01:12] !cn | SceUX [01:12] SceUX: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:12] maco: routing w/ VM's isn't difficult, so long as you set Vbox to call for it's own IP from the router... then it's just like doing it w/ another computer [01:12] there all messed up? there a way to refresh them? [01:12] D3luSi0n4L: then you just havn't tried hard enuf, everything has a solution, it's just software [01:12] in recovery mode do u mean? [01:12] shero: http://joneslee85.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/howto-install-gnome-shell-on-ubuntu-maverick-10-10/ [01:13] fleshpike, nothing that you should worry about. There's some optimizations you can make to avoid it but I wouldn't worry about it. My laptop has thos solid state drives (flash) and it's OK after more than 1 year. My brother has the same, he uses it *heavily* and is been holding for almost 3 years now [01:13] MaK10, Yes [01:13] sacarlson, im sure there are fixes but im new and i honestly dont eve know what to call half of these things === benjo is now known as superbenjo [01:13] D3luSi0n4L: refresh? = reinstall? [01:13] Salahgo, il give it a go. thanks heaps [01:13] D3luSi0n4L: well with motivation you will learn [01:13] MaK10, Good luck :) [01:14] nah it was fine the first two times i booted just this time i booted up and they were messed up [01:14] maco firewall is off and i can ping win to linux, or linux do win [01:14] it was actually more like 3 - 4 times [01:15] any ideas? I'd prefer not to have to go through a brand new install [01:15] D3luSi0n4L: the secreet for me is if it's not broke don't fix it, that mean don't upgrade unless you see benifits in doing so. did you upgrade? [01:15] bezao: windows's 192.168 ip address? [01:15] I did upgrade, and the bar was fine after upgrade, just this time when i booted when i got home it was messed up [01:15] i guess a reboot is worth a try? [01:15] maco win 192.168.1.2, linux 192.168.1.4, my modem/router 192.168.1.1 [01:16] bezao: and you can ping the .2 but not the .1? O_ [01:16] *O_o [01:16] hey all, my bzr get freezes where a password GUi screen would normally come up. anyone know how to figure out why the GUI screen won't show ? [01:16] D3luSi0n4L: yes a reboot is always a good idea before changing anything [01:16] ops [01:16] D3luSi0n4L: for panel you need to just logout/login [01:16] maco from win, i can ping .1 but not .4, from linux, i cant ping .1 and .2 === ubuntuish is now known as rmrfslash [01:16] hmm ok ill try that [01:16] before i do my other small thing i wanted to change was [01:17] when i boot it gives me a list of partitions to boot from? is there a way to make a simpler cleaner way of doing this? [01:17] bezao: i dont think this is related to your ubuntu config. i think its something in vbox... [01:17] maco but the dhclient eth2, got the ip from dhcp, HOW? ;/ [01:17] shcherbak: D3luSi0n4L: that's true so by bar you mean the control bar ok ic [01:17] D3luSi0n4L: panel --replace is first to try, any way (second same with no applets on panel) [01:17] bezao: im confused too [01:17] maco hehe :( [01:17] i'll try uninstall vbox, and isntall again [01:18] thanks for the help :) [01:18] right now theres like 2 ubuntu options like (Linux 2.xxx.xxx-5 then linux 2.xxx.xxx-6 and windows 7 and mem test, etc [01:18] is there a more eye appleasing way of choosing linux or windows 7? [01:18] anyone have any tips on how to get used to ubuntu? [01:18] thanks maco [01:19] #ubuntu-devel [01:19] hello [01:19] D3luSi0n4L: KDE for ultra-super eye-candy [01:19] i installed Ubuntu 10.10 (previously using Windows 7) and am happy enough with it that i would like to keep it and use it as my only OS. i have some questions though... [01:19] D3luSi0n4L: on of my final solutions if nothing else works is create a new user and try login to that. this will crreate a new default templete for gnome envirnment. if that works you can rename the user or copy the template files to you original user. [01:19] shcherbak: what do you mean get used to? === p1l0t is now known as Guest49330 [01:19] ok thanks for the help sacarlson [01:20] histo: hem? [01:20] shcherbak, is there a site where i can see what it looks like and how to install it? [01:20] shero: what do you mean get used to? [01:20] shcherbak: sorry wrong person [01:20] ...i also want to get into programming, learning PHP and Java, but i think maybe i should become familiar first with the Linux environment and Eclipse and such. does anyone have some recommendations on tutorials for perhaps compiling packages/programs in ubuntu and then some basics of using Eclipse with Java (not necessarily doing any programming but becoming familiar with the environment) - i have previous procedural/C type experience so [01:20] PHP is seeming pretty simple as i read tutorials for it [01:21] i dont want to really jump into Java without knowing what im doing as far as setting up a project and such though [01:21] D3luSi0n4L: Kubunutu google and KDE pictures, to install just type KDE in synaptic [01:21] wrb when you install eclipse it has walkthroughs for getting used to eclipse [01:21] users that are not steve nor from group users should have no access, except for root [01:21] histo: well ive been using the windows OS and got used to it; its pretty easy. Ubuntu, I want to also get to know better but seems rather difficulty [01:22] difficult* [01:22] wrb123, I think the most recommended language to learn programming is python [01:22] !abs | wrb123 [01:22] wrb123: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems.

[01:22] carandraug: so does the 774 = no access for users <> steve or users> [01:22] wrb123: start with bash is easiest way [01:22] shero: well what are you having problems with ? Something that is difficult? [01:22] wrb123, http://academicearth.org/courses/introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming [01:23] shcherbak, isnt kubuntu a whole new cilent? I just want something that lets me choose to boot into either Ubuntu 10.10 or Windows 7 [01:23] histo: the terminal for example, is it a dynamic command prompt? [01:23] Laptop: 60GB Hard Disk; 16GB MMC/SD card.. is it possible to boot from SD card / use it for Ubuntu install? [01:23] I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. [01:23] d1g1ta1, 774 means (full access for the owner of the file, full access for the users on the group that owns the file, and read only access for everyone else) [01:23] hi somebody knows about bluetooth adapter? [01:24] How would I go about fixing this? [01:24] shero: what do you mean by dynamic? [01:24] http://www.coolpalace.ca [01:24] thanks everyone, i appreciate the help and advice! [01:24] shcherbak, right now its a big square with all these options [01:25] d1g1ta1, you set the user owner and group of the files with 'chown user:group' (hence I said to run 'chown -R steve:users /dir' (the -R makes it recursive to apply it to all files inside the directory [01:25] hi someone knows bluetooth configuration [01:25] D3luSi0n4L: you cannot boot? [01:25] histo: it works as multiple purposes. im not sure. can you explain to me terminal? [01:25] d1g1ta1, if you want users other than the owner user and owner group, use 770 (instead of 774) [01:25] no i think im saying it wrong] [01:25] !terminal | shero [01:25] shero: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:26] So what do you guys think? Installing Ubuntu on an SD card a good/bad idea? Or should I just go the traditional route and use the hard disk on the laptop? [01:26] shero: follow the above link usingtheterminal [01:26] my laptop is dualbooted with windows 7 & Linux [01:26] D3luSi0n4L: and, is it a problem? [01:26] Nazaryn, I don't think tehere should be any problem with installing on a SD card [01:26] shero: I only use gui for web browsing so. I spend most my time in console. Though I've been using nix for 7 years. [01:26] I'm not sure if my laptop can actually -boot from- an SD card [01:27] Nazaryn, see on the BIOS if there's that option [01:27] when i power up my machine im given a dos windows to select which os to boot from but since updating ubuntu now theres 2 ubuntu options and theres like 2 memtests and 2 windows vista options and a windows 7, the 2 vista are system restore partitions put on by hp [01:27] shero: another place that will be helpfull is osalt.com . That site will show you open source and linux alternatives to most common windows apps. Also i'll send you the link from ubottu on installing software [01:27] D3luSi0n4L: question? [01:28] !software > shero [01:28] shero, please see my private message [01:28] Nazaryn, plug in the SD card and when turning the power on press whatever you have to access the BIOS and see if it shows up there [01:28] jrib, is there a way to hide all the options beside Ubuntu latest version and Windows 7 [01:28] Nazaryn, there's usually another key that lists you all the possible boot options (without going through the BIOS) [01:29] ubottu: how do i see private messages [01:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:29] D3luSi0n4L: to remove old linux kernels, uninstall the corresponding linux-image-* packages (take care to leave your current one installed of course) [01:29] shero: if you're using xchat they will be in a seperate tab [01:29] histo: what are these !"..." > shero?? [01:29] jrib, is there somewhere that can instruct me on how to? I'm new to linux [01:29] D3luSi0n4L: not sure that fix lay on side of linux, but you can try reinstall brub... [01:29] Ah, thank God. This works. [01:29] http://www.coolpalace.ca [01:30] http://www.coolpalace.ca [01:30] ve2ety: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

We use ubottu to answer common questions [01:30] ubottu: found the message [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] whats brub? [01:30] !grub2 | D3luSi0n4L [01:30] D3luSi0n4L: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [01:31] D3luSi0n4L: follow link .../RestoreGrub [01:31] Okay guys, going the safe route, I'm going to install on main hard disk. 60 GB hard disk, how much should I allocate to swap and other? [01:31] histo: are these all the sites I need? [01:31] Nazaryn, do you want a seaparate home directory? [01:31] Nazaryn, also, do you plan on using hibernate? [01:32] Hibernate, unsure. Maybe. [01:32] HI [01:32] shero: for now they are a good start. I would just use the computer as normal. If you have questions just feel free to ask in here. Someone will answer. [01:32] no link? [01:32] Nazaryn, I recommend 15GB for /; 2*ram for swap; and the rest /home [01:32] ehh its fine ill deal with it [01:32] I wanted to have Ubuntu automatically partition the entire disk for me, except that I'm installing from USB stick, so it might accidentally throw the bootloader onto the stick [01:32] thanks for all the help [01:32] Nazaryn, do you develop your own software? And do you usually compile stuff from source? [01:32] im gonna relog and see if the panel fixes itself [01:32] No, I don't develop or compile from source. [01:32] Nazaryn, it won't [01:32] D3luSi0n4L: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [01:33] Nazaryn, auto should work fine [01:33] Okay, I'll go back and throw auto on then [01:33] Nazaryn, it just does not separate the /home which I don't like [01:33] Nazaryn: installing from USB shouldn't effect where grub is installed... whne you go to the drive partition stage, if you choose "advanced" you'll see the target drive for grub. [01:33] what's the difference between the ubuntu dvd iso and the regular live cd iso? [01:33] Nazaryn: swap they say should be as big as the ram you have on the system, the rest for root unless you want to split off /home but you can always do that at some other time [01:33] hiso: thanks [01:33] kevin__: dvd has more stuff on it most likely... [01:33] Yeah, I was doing it through advanced, and I chose the hard disk for bootloader; but then I need to make the rest of the partitions myself [01:33] kevin__: language packs I believe? [01:33] kevin__, the dvd has more stuff [01:34] kevin__, ah right. It has all the language packs also [01:34] smw: http://betterubuntu.org/post/1146321280/jorges-stompbox-no-need-to-complicate-your-life [01:34] Nazaryn: well, my point is, by default, the target drive for GRUB, is the internal drive. thats what you want, right? [01:34] Also: I can toss the SWAP partition onto the SD card, can't I? [01:34] D3luSi0n4L: you "left" some vista on win7 partition, hence make sure to not let grub see it. Pretty much manual work. [01:34] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libusbmux0_1.0.0-rc1-1ubuntu3~k_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/lib/udev/rules.d/85-usbmuxd.rules', which is also in package usbmuxd 0 [01:34] I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this? [01:34] Yes, I want grub to load the hard disk and not the USB (install media) [01:35] shcherbak, im a complete noob so im gonna deal with it and not mess anything up [01:35] Nazaryn: that would defeat the purpose.. it's not like your swap partition needs to be very big... 1.5-2.5gigs tops [01:35] carandraug, what would it be for full access for owner & group & root & no access for everyone else? [01:35] Jordan_U, so you agree with me? [01:35] Alright, swap in front of ext4 partition, or after? [01:35] Nazaryn: if you use the "guided install".. it's gonna do all this for you.. or are you wanting to do some sort of advanced partitioning? [01:35] brb [01:35] Nazaryn, I like to put it in the middle of / and /home [01:35] smw: If you think that in most cases it's better *not* to use a separate /home, yes. [01:35] I want to go through the guided install, I'm just worried about grub going to the proper place [01:36] Nazaryn: I'm not sure how active swap is and sd cards I guess you mean usb flash drive have limited write cycles and I would think are a bit slower to like 1/10 the speed of standard sata or ide [01:36] D3luSi0n4L: make sure to make backup of every file you edit --> stuff.conf to stuff.conf_ ... [01:36] Jordan_U, than I don't agree with you. Did you read the link you gave me? [01:36] too late [01:36] d1g1ta1, root always has fuull access, no matter what permissions you give to the file so it's still 770 [01:36] sacarlson: most newer pc's, probably will never access swap, unless your'e doing some serious number crunching. [01:37] KM0201: or hibernate [01:37] smw: Ahh, I got that link from googling and expected it to be the post quoted rather than that post. [01:37] KM0201: my swap here with 2gb ram shows 15144k in use [01:37] Jordan_U, I agree with the post, not the quote ;-) [01:37] shcherbak: my pc hibernates just fine.. as does my laptop [01:37] sacarlson: mine shows 0 [01:37] Jordan_U, having a separate /home helps me keep my data when I upgrade (by reinstalling) [01:37] nimenhao [01:38] Jordan_U, I was also able to keep data after switching from archlinux back to ubuntu [01:38] KM0201: well, never did it with no swap so cannot tell. [01:38] smw: If you read the quoted post, http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/1093664654/no-need-to-complicate-your-life , you'll see that you don't need a separate /home to keep your /home during a re-install. [01:38] KM0201: my desktop has only 2 apps running, but this system hasn't reboot in over a week [01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> I can no longer access my network printer ... I've googled until my eye's are crossed ... I give up, I need some human help [01:38] KM0201, the sawp is used for hibernation. It copies everything that's on RAM to swap [01:38] <_ZroTo|ernZ_> My PasteBin is @ http://pastebin.com/dHKDRA2d [01:38] Jordan_U, I would argue with anyone who wanted a separate /usr or /var ;-). [01:39] KM0201: after boot mine shows zero also [01:39] sacarlson: well, my PC has been on for a while.. so. [01:39] Jordan_U, I am reading it now [01:39] smw: having a seperate var is pretty useful if your logs overflow :) [01:40] shei shi nan jing de [01:40] geekbri, which may happen... on a server [01:40] geekbri: or if system decided to remount in read only... [01:40] geekbri, I have explained to server admins that partitioning like a server is pretty useless [01:41] im not lookin for a fight! [01:41] ;) [01:42] 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal? [01:42] anyone know if there is a webdav editor in ubuntu (I want to edit a public webdav file) [01:43] I'm on Maverick and "apt-get install gnome" is failing with some error about a missing dep (swfmozilla) [01:43] ive tried open office and fusedav, cant get either working, amaya keeps crashing [01:43] smw: Alway /var /usr, and recently added /tmp to collection. With too much space for users it does not harm me and is often handy [01:43] "apt-get install gnome-desktop" looks like it'll work, but it's downloading too much (Evolution, etc) [01:43] Jordan_U, great post... it still won't change my mind. (and yes, I "upgrade" with full installs. But I don't recommend that to others ;-) [01:43] what's the package that is just basic Gnome desktop? [01:44] smw: Fair enough :) [01:44] any one have experience with windows problems or knows where i can chat with some one who knows? [01:44] ok the top panel fixed itself [01:44] tim_: ##windows [01:44] now my last question is [01:44] plightbo_, you might want to try gnome-desktop-environment but i think that will bring evolution, etc. as well [01:44] hi, whenever I go to anything via the places menu, it opens it with vlc [01:44] i downloaded the Java SDK, and its a .bin how do i install it? [01:44] ZykoticK9: would gnome-shell just pull in the basics? [01:44] D3luSi0n4L: sh foo.bin === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [01:45] ?? [01:45] plightbo_, gnome-shell is different - it's the upcoming interface for gnome3 [01:45] D3luSi0n4L: the bin is an executable [01:45] plightbo_, excuse me im a complete noob [01:45] !java [01:45] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [01:45] D3luSi0n4L: so execute it :) [01:45] Anyone familiar with FXP on ubuntu? [01:45] ZykoticK9: doh [01:45] D3luSi0n4L: The Java SDK is in the repositories. In the sun-java6-jdk package [01:45] oh ok when i open it it says "This application needs to be opened with [01:45] ZykoticK9: I just installed it - thought it was an xterm like thing :) [01:45] D3luSi0n4L, you should probably install the package from the ubuntu repo [01:46] ZykoticK9: hopefully it still pulled down just the basics -- seemed about 20% the size of the gnome-desktop packageset === me is now known as Guest31491 [01:46] oh ok how do i go about using that? can i get it in the software center? [01:46] or do i need to go through the repositories? [01:46] Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to remove unity? [01:46] plightbo_, there's very little to gnome-shell right now ;) so it didn't add much [01:46] D3luSi0n4L, the software center is the repos [01:46] frostyfrog: yes alongside with ubuntu-desktop [01:47] D3luSi0n4L, I can give you a command to install the jdk, or you can go through the software center and do it yourself. [01:47] I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this? [01:47] :( I was hoping I could remove just that and get the old gnome desktop back. [01:47] can i have the command please? === root is now known as Guest25907 [01:47] i cant find it in the software center [01:47] D3luSi0n4L, doing it yourself means you won't need to ask next time ;-) [01:47] any program for simulation electrion circuit ? [01:47] ok [01:47] lets do it that way =P [01:47] 10.04 - i think the external wireless switch (on another computer) is broken in the off position. is there a way to change this through terminal? [01:48] D3luSi0n4L, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk is the command, use that if you can't find it [01:48] frostyfrog: check for Ubuntu independent gnome, it could be replacement [01:48] ok how do i go about doing it myself? [01:48] any program for simulation electrion circuit ? [01:48] kk [01:48] D3luSi0n4L, I will try it myself [01:48] D3luSi0n4L, you need to add the partner repository before you can install sun-java-* [01:48] ok [01:48] ?? [01:48] D3luSi0n4L: what do you mean doing it yourself?... you need to adda nother repository for java [01:48] <[thor]> petarbt: do a search in the software center for "circuit" [01:48] hello im a noob with a game instaling problem any help whould be appricated [01:49] ZykoticK9, cool [01:49] D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-jre [01:49] psykatog: it is phisical connectin, bash do not do it yet [01:49] ok what are the repos?

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" » [01:49] D3luSi0n4L: also sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [01:49] D3luSi0n4L: thats the repositories, where ubuntu downloads/installs packages from. [01:50] shcherbak: I ran lspci in bash... [01:50] itaylor57: that won't work on a new install, he has to enable the partner repository [01:50] petarbt, hope this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-322499.html.

"gnome : Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed" [01:52] maverick? [01:52] or something of that sort [01:52] is there a better gaming os then ubuntu 10 ?

[01:52] Guest31491, better gaming os = windows [01:52] psykatog: look for WiFI or 802 or Network controller [01:52] lol i hate windows [01:53] i want to work on linux [01:53] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: yeah, if the game is "virus scan" [01:53] is it possable for a bigener [01:53] Guest31491, then all linux distros should be very close to equal [01:53] shcherbak: okay, yeah it shows up [01:53] but can me a beginer to lunix do it ? [01:53] !info tar | Skaperen [01:53] Skaperen: tar (source: tar): GNU version of the tar archiving utility. In component main, is required.

You can live boot the cd and not install anything to your drive. If you like it then you can run the installer on the desktop [01:55] Guest31491: what secure bit? [01:55] is not marked as executable.

I'm looking around for a full version [01:56] yes [01:56] in ubuntu [01:57] .. [01:57] Guest31491: you need wine to run windows games in linux. Install the package playonlinux it will be a big help [01:57] hey in the command line [01:57] shcherbak: ERROR while getting interface flags : no such device [01:57] <[thor]> Guest31491: you probably need wine (www.winehq.com) for that [01:57] Guest31491: are you trying to put it in wine?... [01:57] Guest31491: sudo apt-get install playonlinux [01:57] i got play on linux installed already [01:57] Skaperen: In what way is GNU tar not "full"? [01:57] it opened up a blue window and says "Configuring sun-java-jdk6 [01:57] D3luSi0n4L: right [01:57] and theres a list of stuff and when i scroll down, how do i press ok? [01:57] and wine [01:57] Guest31491: then you have it under applications > games > playonlinux [01:57] D3luSi0n4L: i believe the right arrow key will do it [01:57] mayb etab [01:57] psykatog: hardware then [01:57] *tab [01:58] Guest31491: and walk throught hat to install [01:58] got it , thanks!

[01:58] there isint just modren warfare [01:58] Guest31491: well using playonlinux is through wine. Most people find that easier. If you wnat to do it just through wine you have to look at the appdb.winehq.org to get directions. [01:59] Jordan_U: the GNU version does not support sockets (it did in version 1.13 and earlier, but they removed that feature) [01:59] there is an option to install inside windows from ubuntu cd , if i select install inside windows ,then how can i use ubuntu from windows or how can i run ubuntu from windows? [01:59] shcherbak: I'm pretty sure it IS a hardware problem. I think the radio switch is set to 'off' and broken there. I'm wondering if I can't reset that or ignore it via terminal commands [01:59] hmm [01:59] ive tryed the play on lunix it installed just fine but when i click run nothing happens [01:59] when i typed sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner [01:59] it did nothing but go to the next line and clear the dir i was in now its just [01:59] > [02:00] manhunter, i guess you are referring to wubi. it works as if there is a separate partition-you won't need to boot windows to run ubuntu. [02:00] manhunter, the "install inside windows" is actually called Wubi, it's good to "test" if you like Ubuntu or not - but it's not as good as a "real" install! [02:00] shcherbak: I also tried sudo lshw -C network... [02:01] psykatog: google type of laptop and wifi swich, if there is noted software solution it would be adaptable [02:01] shcherbak: the line "*-network 1 : disabled [02:01] Skaperen: You can try bsdtar. [02:01] manhunter, read a bit about wubi here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer) then you'll understand. [02:01] D3luSi0n4L, your command isn't complete - CTRL+C to exit the > === KindOne is now known as Santa_Clause [02:01] so anybody ? [02:02] psykatog: is it edge swith or button? [02:02] ok ty [02:02] edge switch [02:02] do you know the complete command? i copied it from someone [02:02] Jordan_U: thanks ... I'll check into that one [02:02] Guest31491: you either have to check appdb.winehq.org or ask the peeps in teh winehq channel [02:02] ZykoticK9: any experience by chance with vnc and gnome-settings-daemon? gsd keeps crashing on us when we start up vnc [02:02] Guest31491: /j #winehq [02:02] shcherbak: an edge switch [02:02] The file '/media/Airborne/AutoRun.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

[02:02] ahhh ty [02:02] Guest31491: there is also #playonlinux [02:03] psykatog: do you have guarantee (means can you open laptop without voiding something)? [02:03] oh ok i try that [02:03] dnivra, ZykoticK9 yes, it's wubi , i want to use/run ubuntu from windows [02:03] plightbo_, sorry no experience at all with that. best of luck. [02:03] manhunter, personally i view that as a bad idea - but best of luck. [02:03] hmm [02:03] shcherbak: generally thats the thing that gets voided when you open it :P [02:03] dnivra, ZykoticK9 can i use/run ubuntu from windows using the option "Install inside windows" ? [02:04] ZykoticK9, why bad idea ? [02:04] sudo apt-get sun-jre or w.e says unable to locate package sun-jre [02:04] manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" read a bit about wubi. [02:04] manhunter: there's some risks in running ubuntu w/ wubi.. [02:04] manhunetr: you can use qemu and any linux [02:04] manhunter, making ubuntu dependant on windows make no sense to me. [02:04] shcherbak: unless it covers accidental damage or specifically allows playing inside (like zareason's open hardware warranty) [02:04] shcherbak: no warranty, got it through craigslist [02:05] it's a toshiba satellite, 3-5 yrs old [02:05] manhunter, you might just and to consider installing Ubuntu into a VM on windows (or the other way around) [02:05] KM0201, what risk [02:06] manhunter: just do some googling, i don't like to say one way or the other, because i'm biased against wubi(personal experience).. but just thoroughly research it. [02:06] psykatog: make sure to know opening procedure, motherboard type, (many nice videos on subject out there) [02:06] manhunter, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu_installer)" says what's are the risks and more things about wubi. [02:06] manhunter, if you get a Wubi issue - it seems few of the experienced users in this channel can help - 'cause they don't use Wubi... [02:06] ZykoticK9: so I'm getting an error "Unable to initialize Clutter" when starting gnome-session [02:07] ZykoticK9: know anything about that? my research says it's related to gnome-shell :( [02:07] Jordan_U: nope, bsdtar can't do sockets, either [02:07] shcherbak: so what I'm hearing is there's nothing hat can be done purely through terminal? [02:08] plightbo_, Clutter is the current "engine" used for gnome-shell, i believe you need to have 3d acceleration for gnome-shell, what graphics card are you using - OR do you have 3d support? [02:08] hey [02:08] psykatog: i do not think so, if there is nothing under your type of laptop in google [02:08] ZykoticK9: i'm on Amazon EC2 [02:08] one last thing before i quit annoying everyone one lol [02:08] psykatog: one moment === Santa_Clause is now known as KindOne === bandeira_ is now known as bandeira [02:08] plightbo_, dousbt you'll get gnome-shell working then! [02:08] psykatog, what do you mean there is nothing that can be done through the terminal? [02:08] Hey there whats up? [02:09] smw: simply that there's nothing I can't do to activate the wifi radio through the terminal instead of opening it up [02:09] psykatog, did you try rfkill? [02:10] smw: no [02:10] why does ubuntu publish its users email adresses? [02:10] ZykoticK9: uninstallying gnome-shell and installing metacity worked [02:10] Exbte: hmm? [02:10] Exbte: where'd you get that idea? [02:10] psykatog, if rfkill can't do it, nothing can [02:10] Jordan_U: I think the problem is they all switched to using libarchive and libarchive itself is the problem [02:10] psykatog, (nothing in software) [02:11] I filed a bug report about a year back and now my email is publicly available in lists.ubuntu.com/archives [02:11] smw: whats the rfkill identifier? [02:11] psykatog, rfkill list [02:11] Exbte: yes, lists.ubuntu.com are archived [02:11] Exbte: thats why you create a hotmail account... :) [02:11] so i downloaded a thing for my browser to show Java EE [02:11] psykatog, it is the number from rfkill list. [02:11] its call "java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh" [02:11] how do i open it? [02:11] Then why do they publish both username AND email into a archive? [02:12] Exbte: they're public mailing lists [02:12] Can I get my email removed somehow? [02:12] Exbte, lists are forever [02:12] Because I don't like spam [02:12] I'm suprised that anyone that uses ubuntu likes spam [02:13] anyone know how to open that? [02:13] Exbte: you can ask I guess but at this point it's probably mirrored in several places... [02:13] * jrib does not get spam [02:13] Exbte: you really should have thought about that before you posted the bug report... all info there is publicly available, and i think it even says so when you post the bug. [02:13] smw: rfkill list oesn't return anything [02:13] jrib, do you know how to open a .sh? [02:13] D3luSi0n4L: open it why? [02:13] lol [02:13] psykatog, 2 possibilities. 1. hardware block 2. no drivers [02:14] i dunno i got it so i can view a site that requires JAVA EE support? [02:14] Jordan_U: I guess I'll have to use cpio for now, but cpio is such a pain [02:14] D3luSi0n4L: most the time sh /path/to/file [02:14] Exbte, never use your main email address for mailing lists [02:14] java_ee_sdk-6u1-jdk-linux-x64.sh [02:14] !java | D3luSi0n4L [02:14] D3luSi0n4L: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [02:14] I didn't realise launchpad was a mailing list [02:14] Lawlz [02:14] Exbte, mailing lists are public, anyone can harvest it... [02:14] DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 [02:14] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [02:14] oh so hilarious... [02:14] I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers? [02:14] hmm ok thanks [02:15] smw: I just did a fresh install and haven't accessed a network on this pc yet, is it likely that I don't have any current drivers? [02:15] Yes and now my email is being harvested because Ubuntu doesnt advertise that Launchpad will publish your email adress to bots [02:15] i installed virtualbox on windows ,now how can i attache ubuntu to it? [02:15] psykatog, is this wifi? If it is, the answer is yes [02:15] manhunter, which virtual [02:15] psykatog: another thing, check keyboard shortcuts [02:16] ZykoticK9: what are some other common window managers used with Gnome? I kind of hate metacity's look [02:16] anybody knows if it is possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control) [02:16] smw: should I try to access a wired connection and update before anything else? [02:16] psykatog, yes [02:16] Is there anyone higher up I can contact about Ubuntu being scamsters? [02:17] bubbalooo, virtualbox [02:17] manhunter, which virtual setup [02:17] Exbte: that's ridiculous. [02:17] s [02:17] s [02:17] s [02:17] psykatog, update the pkg list and then use System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers [02:17] Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:17] Spirox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:17] plightbo_, with Gnome? metacity is kinda the standard, with compiz a close second (also won't work without 3d support though). You might want to check out alternatives like xfce or lxde. [02:17] Exbte: that just makes you sound trollish. Anyway, file a bug against launchpad if you feel it's not clear enough when you set a contact e-mail that others will be able to see it and see what happens [02:17] smw: alright, thanks. I'll try to figure out where I can do that... [02:18] where can i find xml2-config file [02:18] manhunter, just build a virtual and the use the settings to add a ISO to be read at boot up [02:18] Sign in to Launchpad [02:18] If you proceed, the following information will be available to Launchpad: [02:18] uh [02:18] isnt that what I'm trying to prevent [02:18] smw : actually, I know exactly where I can do that. http://wiki.metrixcreatespace.com/ it's like 10 blocks away, I'm spoiled [02:18] (on the landlord's wifi here) [02:19] Exbte: thats my point, you obviously didnt read it when you signed up, so... you should have not used that info to begin with [02:19] its not their fault, its yours [02:19] KM0201: It said nothing of the sort when I signed up [02:19] Exbte: that's just openid telling you that [02:19] bubbalooo, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox [02:19] psykatog, I am spoiled, I have fast internet :-P [02:19] Can someone help me out with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/543868/ [02:19] Exbte: well.... did it not dawn on you, when reading other bug reports, that everybodys info was visible? [02:19] No? [02:19] for some odd reason its tell me there are more users then what i see logged on. [02:20] Because their email isn't visible in launchpad [02:20] It's only when it gets archived into a mailing list [02:20] that it becomes visible [02:20] what program can be run to max out the cpu's and leave them running>? [02:20] hanasaki, why would you do that? [02:20] Exbte: it is visible in launchpad if you set an e-mail. I don't know if there's privacy options for the e-mails or not [02:20] manhunter, yeah that is a graet link it shows you the settings and adding the ISO, ask any questions though I'm quite familiar with Vbox [02:21] smw: test the temp under load and 2 to max out a vm of ubuntu.. seems to hang under high load [02:21] smw: so? [02:21] Exbte: ah I have the "Hide my email addresses from other Launchpad users" in my user preferences. Do you have that checked? [02:21] yes [02:21] hanasaki, gzip /dev/random to /dev/null? [02:22] and I cant see others email adresses [02:22] manhunter, try linuxmint 10 as well seems to run better in a virtual better the Ubuntu [02:22] that's what led me to believe my email wouldnt be published [02:22] hanasaki, that will work if there is only one core [02:22] Exbte: you can't see my e-mail: https://launchpad.net/~jrib ? [02:22] smw: that will run forever? [02:22] smw: 2 cores [02:22] Hey all [02:22] I can see your email adress jrib [02:22] but I cant see [02:22] https://launchpad.net/~anthonyhunt55 [02:22] hanasaki, yep, it will run forever, run 3 of them. That will max out 2 cores ;-) [02:22] Any android users aroung [02:22] i selected ubuntu.iso from hard disk but got error [02:23] Around [02:23] Exbte: you should file a bug. I think if you have that checked and your e-mail is getting displayed it's an issue [02:23] failed to open cd/dvd image [02:23] im on ubuntu10.10. i want to be able to run commands outside of /usr/bin. how can i do that? [02:23] jrib, ya, i see your email too [02:23] hmm. [02:23] Exbte: #launchpad is probably a better place to move this discussion [02:24] how bout a cpu benchmark? [02:24] Exbte: it tells me to "log in to view your email info".. are you sure you didn't choose to hvae it visible? [02:24] is it possible to semantic check any text (not just orthographic control) on ubuntu? [02:24] manhunter, have you checked the ISO MD5sum https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:24] smw: "not a regularfile" lol [02:24] sign in and it says No public address provided. [02:24] hanasaki, yes | gzip > /dev/null === gidimanunaki is now known as Guest70087 [02:24] hanasaki, that filled up one of my cores pretty good, not sure if you even need the gzip [02:25] Exbte, jrib is correct - this isn't an Ubuntu issue, it's a Launchpad issue. #launchpad [02:25] hanasaki, nm, just yes > /dev/null [02:25] hanasaki, make a few to fill both cores [02:26] smw, hanasaki: note that there is a program called "cpuburn" in theh repositories [02:26] jrib, how is it better than yes? lol [02:26] jrib, I don't see it [02:26] having issues resolving dns, I have static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, and my dns servesr in /etc/resolv.conf [02:26] !info cpuburn [02:26] cpuburn (source: cpuburn): a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU.

[03:17] arox: I doubt that. [03:18] hi [03:18] arox: sdb1 might be your usb drive instead. [03:18] I'm sorry I'm not very good at this linux stuff so I don't really know what sda1 is. [03:18] I am trying to allow irc chat to connect under firestarter but i dont know which service to use can someone please help? [03:18] Is that just the port that it's plugged into? [03:18] arox: sda1 is SCSI disk a, partition one. [03:19] arox: Due to historical issues, the naming of SCSI drives doesn't relate to LUN's. [03:19] histo>> still no sound [03:19] what's the problem? [03:19] histo>> installed the driver at link provided [03:20] So, what should I do? I'm sorry I'm so green to all of this. [03:20] arox: Try this: ls /dev/sd* [03:20] Hi, i am using Ubunutu Maverick, on lenovo thinkpade edge 15, i want to use fingerprint device for athentication, but when i use fprint_demo, Computer says no device found, HELP [03:20] Dabian: this is wicked, check this out, the file gives (((((/lib/libfuse.so.2.8.4: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped)))) but the funny is i dlded the i386 pckage manually from repository and checked it and it only has 64 bit versions... [03:21] RegressLess: check your syslog and dmesg and look for errors relating to pulseaudio [03:21] When I plug in my external USB HD, it is mounting at /media/ga9eir-952d... It used to mount at /media/disk . Is there a way to make it do so again? [03:21] Echo_: I would asume firestarter will still allow you to connect out and allow in after connection astablished, so pidgin should work [03:21] arox: Btw, instead you might install ubuntu-netbook. [03:21] rupert: Thats probably a bug then! [03:22] please help me "how to run turbo C++ in ubuntu 10.10" [03:22] laurus, yes, there is.. you can edit your /etc/fstab [03:22] it don't what is it under example telnet,xwindows???? [03:23] Dabian, nop actually the one i dlded is 32bit. sweet. finally lolz [03:23] bandeira, I see "errors=remount-ro 0 1" in that file on the drive's line... does that mean there is an issue? [03:23] mandriva_: you can probly port some of the libs used in turbo C++ but I guess not all would work in linux [03:23] rupert: OK .. a word of advise .. keep a backup somewhere, before you crypt your stuff. [03:24] empathy is probably the most bugged software i have ever used [03:24] in my life [03:24] rupert: People tend to loose their encrypted stuff, because they don't think it will happen to them. [03:24] laurus: go to system > Administration > disk utility > select the drive and change the label name, from the next time it will automatically mounted with label name in any ubuntu system [03:24] Dabian, thats good advice, but i am still waiting to get the big hdd delivered till then i cross my fingers [03:25] rupert: Good luck. :) [03:25] Maahes: syslog not recognized. dmesg gave me a bunch of lines like this: [ 947.642284] VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0 [03:25] is there any alternative for ubuntu as orbit downloader Grab++ to fetch youtube videos with GUI [03:25] rupert: Had a friend that lost 5 years of data that way, because he was impatient. :) [03:25] pksadiq, does that utility use e2label? [03:25] mandriva_: why turbo c++, are you saying the c++ of the oldy schools? [03:25] laurus, copy the whole line which contains the partition you'd like to mount. [03:26] bandeira, oh, wait, that is my normal hard drive, sorry :P [03:26] arox - you still here? [03:26] pksadiq: i use ubuntu but i have to compile windows c programs for my school assignment [03:26] laurus: I don't know whether disk utility does, but e2label , I thinks allows only to label linux partitions, especially ext* [03:27] Dabian: rupert: ya they say if you really want to delete something encrypt it and trash the keys, even the fbi can't get it back [03:27] pksadiq, that's okay, this is an ext3 formatted drive [03:27] yeah just a little confused [03:27] histo>> here? [03:27] mandriva_: c or c++? [03:27] laurus: ok, then carry on [03:28] pksadiq, by the way, how do I tell that this drive is sdb1? [03:28] Hi, is there any "security" one should do to Ubuntu out of the box... or is it reasonably secure? I'm not worried about physical access. [03:28] I somehow remember that, but how do I confirm it? [03:28] laurus, on a "option" field, write defaults [03:28] No sound in Lucid. Just re-installed alsa drivers [03:28] gumby52: what are you worried about then? [03:28] laurus: using e2label? [03:28] bandeira, sorry, what do you mean? [03:28] Ok so I did that thing you told me to do, now what? [03:28] pksadiq: generally we have to use C [03:28] i have an ubuntu laptop and an ubuntu server. when i log on to an alien network with my laptop, i don't want an eavesdropper to be able to see what i'm doing. what's the simplest way for me to set up a vpn for this? [03:28] laurus: e2label device [ new-label ] [03:29] just wondering about ports that I should shut down to prevent "attacks" izinucs [03:29] gumby52, it is pretty secure [03:29] laurus, for example: /dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [03:29] dabian sacarlson, three places to store my keys. that'll hopefully do it + i do have backups on dvd in the basement tbh. but they're hidden [03:29] hey all - I'm considering doing a frsh install of 10.04 ( from 10.10 _ ) After I cannot play games via WINE any more :-( - but one thign I want to do is CLEAR my desktopsettings in my Home dir first - where can I find hte files I need to clear to wipe my user settings for Gnome desktop? [03:29] pksadiq, er, but device has to be something like /dev/sdb1 right? [03:29] gumby52, just don't install from untrusted sources [03:29] I searched forums but couldn't find it :-( [03:29] gumby52: most all are closed unless opened by a program on your machine. [03:29] hello [03:30] StrangeCharm: does the server have a gui or vm running? [03:30] ok. thanks. I guess I could do a netstat and check the ports.. but I haven't used ubuntu. mostly use AIX, HPUX and Solaris [03:30] grendelson, are you trying to downgrade or make another install separate [03:30] laurus: yes [03:30] recommend me a software for see my hardware pls [03:30] decided to scrap microsoft on this new computer [03:30] pksadiq, so how do I know which one it is? [03:30] StrangeCharm: or is it cli only? [03:30] nit-wit, I suppose I'll do a clean install - seems the best way to get a fresh start - I have speartae home / var/ etc [03:31] so won't lose any home dir stuff [03:31] izinucs, it has a gui, but i generally just access it via ssh [03:31] laurus: try the command df [03:31] but I've been upgrading for a few major version and my login is all goofy - I have to purpoely run a script to go to compiz and back and want to just get the "generic " desktop any user would get [03:32] ok Dabian ZykoticK9 sacarlson, i got it to work. thx for all the help. have a good one. peace [03:32] figured it out"how to configure firestarter to allow irc chat to connect" not bad for a noob huh?LOL [03:32] always good to figure out anything new. [03:32] lol [03:32] grendelson, it is consfusing when you say from 10.q0, but yeah if you have the room go for another install. You have a extended surrounding the whole thing or just the swap [03:32] 10.10 [03:32] StrangeCharm: well.. you have a couple of options.. setup ssh -X and then run gnome remotely or ssh and stick with apps that run directly on X [03:32] lol I've been working on unix for years. Now I need to learn how to use a gui. [03:32] Dabian, I typed in the ls /dev/sd* prompt and it gave me a list of the /dev/sd things what do I do with those? [03:32] pksadiq, thanks! [03:33] i am kinda new to linux so i am trying to figure it all out [03:33] gumby52, ohh the realdarkside UNIX [03:33] nit-wit, Yes I'm sorry _ 10.10 has been problematic so rather than try to "downgrade"I' was going to format all OS drives and reinstall... [03:33] gumby unix is like the terminal huh? [03:33] arox: one of them is your usb [03:33] arox: But maybe you just want to apt-get install ubuntu-netbook? [03:33] well strictly command line stuff for work [03:33] !info mingw32 | mandriva_ [03:33] mandriva_: mingw32 (source: mingw32): Minimalist GNU win32 (cross) compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.2.1.dfsg-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 20178 kB, installed size 94752 kB [03:33] StrangeCharm: that would be gnome without vnc .. just over ssh [03:34] That might be easier. :] Can I do that from the ubuntu website? [03:34] izinucs, neither of those are what i want to do. i no not want to run a remote x, i just want to have the server be a vpn server for the client. [03:34] nit-wit, But since I plan on keeping Home Dir I know that the goofed up desktop will remain so I need to first figure out what to Wipe to Clean up the desktop to "New" ( as if I was a new logged in user) [03:34] grendelson, soounds like you know what to do I never seperate home I just do standard installs, so I can't be of help. [03:34] mandriva_: enough? [03:34] I don't mind command line. i'm pretty comfortable there. it's trying to figure out where things are in the gui that's interesting [03:34] kool, ive been on windows all this time i dont think i will be going back! [03:34] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and it won't recognize my hard drive (neither with Gparted). Forums were no help. Can anyone here help me? [03:34] arox: Just type on command line: [03:34] gumby52, I know the feeling [03:35] gumby52, shiny and one click at a time.;) [03:35] I tired to get 2 "games" running through wine. I got Civ V to work through wine with steam.... couldn't get DOD:source to work [03:35] arox: apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [03:35] StrangeCharm: ok.. ssh'ing into the server allows you to do what you want.. openvpn could be setup for essentially the same thing.. [03:35] Anyone able to point me to a link that will tell me what Files I need to check or clear or delete to get a Generic Desktop under Ubunto 10.04 or 10.10 ( Gnome)? [03:35] it's all good. [03:35] How do I fix no-sound problem? [03:35] I can access the internet from any browser, but after a recent update I am no longer able to ping any sites. Anyone know how to fix this? [03:35] * izinucs says humm [03:35] Is it likely that gnome-panel will remember the ordering of my applets? Or should I just forget that dream? [03:36] izinucs, ssh doesn't transparently file everything from the client through the server [03:36] hey gumby what games you tring to install? [03:36] magn3ts: You can right click and lock them. [03:36] I don't even see Sound in Preferences or Administrator menus. Odd [03:36] Could not open lock file, unable to lock the admin dir... are you root? [03:36] magn3ts: It works for a while, usually. [03:36] pksadiq: can i search it in synaptic as "mingw32" [03:36] StrangeCharm: how do you mean.. [03:36] Is what it spat out at me, with some extra stuff in between. [03:36] if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it [03:36] arox: ahh .. sorry [03:37] arox: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [03:37] mandriva_: of course, that too helps you to find more [03:37] izinucs, if i connect to a vpn on my laptop, all my network traffic gets forwarded to that destination through an encrypted tunnel [03:37] Echo_ trying to run dod source through steam [03:37] pksadiq: thanks in advance, i will try this [03:37] I can get steam running... and can get civ V to work [03:37] grendelson, try this site left column playing around http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index [03:37] StrangeCharm: ok.. so if that is what you're looking for then openvpn is probably your answer.. [03:37] I tried to use various video options like -gl and others [03:38] arox: It will take a little time, depending on the speed of your connection. >) [03:38] never got it to start... it just kicks up and dies. [03:38] izinucs, is openvpn a hassle to set up? [03:38] if i forgot the password for my encrypted ubuntu install, is there anything i can do to reset it [03:38] I have wine1.3.8 installed [03:38] mandriva_: thank if it works, else it's just wasted ;) [03:39] devslash, if it's actually encrypted then no. that's the whole point [03:39] StrangeCharm: never done it myself.. on the client side network manager will handle it.. on the server side you have to do some setup.. just not sure how much. [03:39] Anyone here know why PING would have stopped working after my most recent update? [03:39] nit-wit, Thanks [03:39] and I put wintricks on also [03:39] izinucs, i guess i'll have some fun then [03:39] StrangeCharm: just another project :) [03:39] !details | magn3ts [03:39] magn3ts: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:39] aurilliance: Other than to annoy you, you mean? [03:40] grendelson, hopefully that is what will works.;) [03:40] StrangeCharm: nm i remembered it [03:40] work [03:40] Echo_: you play any games through steam [03:41] .whois [03:41] Dabian, it lcoks them and then messes them up when I reboot, then they're locked so I have to go through the hassle of unlocking and re-moving [03:42] Dabian: exactly ;) [03:42] aurilliance: What error do you get? [03:42] I'm actually thinking of starting a blog and recording their position at shutdown and at boot everytime I have to restart. Get a twitter account and post the screenshots. [03:43] Apt is broken. Can't fix: http://pastebin.ca/2019939 [03:43] Dabian: nothing, normally ping times out, however it just sits there not doing anything at all [03:43] It doesn't even print anything [03:43] magn3ts: Flickr might be better for that. [03:43] magn3ts: Which graphics card do you have? [03:44] Dabian: I'm starting to suspect a router issue, I can use wget without logging in to an ftp server, but when I do it it with a login on a secure ftp server it doesn't work... [03:44] hey when i oprn synaptic package i see this message [03:44] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[03:44] aurilliance: ping 127.0.0.1 [03:44] lol iszak :) [03:44] aurilliance: What does that give you? [03:44] ska: I think hardy might be at end of life [03:44] Dabian: it works fine [03:44] Hi all [03:44] Every file I try to wget, even images, gets interpreted as an HTML file. [03:44] same with localhost [03:45] nicolaus: it means you have to run the command it gives you from terminal to hopefully fix the problem [03:45] Dabian, nvidia... [03:45] clam or avast??? [03:45] i want to convert .html ebooks to .prc format so i can put them on my kindle [03:45] but I had the same issues on laptops with Intel graphics [03:45] I used to do it with mobipocket creator on windows [03:45] thanks izinucx: [03:45] sarah1: why not convert to pdf.. kindle should read that. [03:45] sarah1, look into calibre [03:45] i didnt put the two -- [03:45] but linux dislikes mobipicket [03:45] so I just got DOD source to start up about 3 mins ago :) progress [03:46] you can't change the font in .pdfs on kindles [03:46] How do I get my ubuntu version? [03:46] i like my letters big! [03:46] ska, lsb_release -a [03:46] i install ubuntu and it didnt install grub can someone help me get grub loader plz [03:46] aurilliance: might be a problem with the nameserver or router then.

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:47] ska try look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:47] Does anyone use clam?How reliable is it? [03:47] Dabian: yeah. I'll check again later at home and see if the issue persists (on work wifi atm). Thanks for the help mate [03:47] aurilliance: No problem, good luck. :) [03:47] i install ubuntu and now i cant get on my windows side [03:47] aurilliance: What if you type "host google.com" btw? [03:47] guess not lol [03:48] Oh well. :D [03:48] Seems he will get along. [03:48] nicolaus: can you bring up the grub menu at boot time? [03:48] nope [03:48] sacarlson: If not at boot time, when? :D [03:49] just go straight to ubuntu [03:49] it should come up automatically [03:49] if you have multiple OS's [03:49] sacarlson: (Sorry, just joking) :) [03:49] Dabian: that would be the only time I know, so what is the method to bring up the menu at boot? [03:49] nicolaus: are you sure you dual booted?.. and didn't erase windows [03:49] sacarlson: I can't even update my cache now, so I can't upgrade [03:49] Dabian: no problem [03:49] i am sure i didnt erase it [03:50] two HDDs or one that's partitioned? [03:50] 100% sure [03:50] sacarlson: I think holding CTRL or shift or something like that, maybe pressing ESC. [03:50] nicolaus: I hope you are using grub2 , ok? [03:50] Ska did you read the methods stated in the link I showed you? [03:50] sacarlson: I only booted the default kernel for years, I guess. [03:50] it should be grub2 [03:50] try: sudo update-grub [03:50] I figured it out! [03:50] i am using ubuntu 10.10 [03:51] sacarlson: or I do it without thinking. [03:51] will automatically scan all the boot records on any disk attached [03:51] The firewall is filtering the incoming http stream! [03:51] nicolaus: follow pshifter [03:51] when you do a fresh 10.10 install it might not have seen all the boot records [03:51] sacarlson: If you can boot, you can also insert a timeout, in the config file, and run grubinstall again, or something like that. [03:51] All of the http data is ruined by it. Nothing is wrong with my system.. [03:51] I'm an idiot. [03:51] sound stopped working in Ubuntu 10.04. Please advise! [03:52] oh didnt read pshifter [03:52] sacarlson: My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games. He has a long delay, ten seconds or something. [03:52] trying now [03:52] Dabian: you should add nicolaus: to your comments it is he that needs to know [03:52] pshifter: it's not a human,to make such errors ;) [03:52] sacarlson: Oh, ok. [03:52] sacarlson: I know how to upgrade several different ways, but I need to fix the firewall filter that is doing this. [03:52] nicolaus: My brother in law sometimes uses ms-windows, in order to play video-games. He has a long delay, ten seconds or something. [03:52] !grubmenu [03:53] ok [03:53] seems like this work [03:53] thanks pshifter [03:53] nicolaus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation [03:53] brb restarting [03:54] Ska: ok so you don't really need an upgrade then you can fix a firewall in 8.04 with iptables [03:54] Ubuntu isn't recognizing my hard drive. Can someone help me or direct me to someone who can? [03:54] eman2: are you in ubuntu now? [03:54] pksadiq: yes [03:54] Ska: maybe pastebin sudo iptables -L to see if the firewall is really your problem === f0o is now known as Prajwal [03:55] pksadiq: actually, a terminal in Gparted live CD [03:55] Samba doesn't seem to allow me to use my network printer unless I first restart the service.

[03:57] arox: Nice. :) [03:57] pksadiq: yes, it works fine in Windows [03:57] arox: You can create a new user, from the admin menu. [03:58] arox: but you might wanna reboot first (or log out and log back in), to see if it works. [03:58] arox: If not, create a new user, and log in as that new user, and see if its works. [03:58] Okay [03:58] hello [03:59] so I'm looking for a good security tools distro [03:59] okay - I have Audacity playing back somehing [03:59] xnarayan44: So you're asking in a channel that is specific to one distro. ##linux would be the best place to ask.

What gives? [04:49] sarah1: check under view>show hidden file [04:49] CarlFK: yeah, i was gonna mention that, bu i figured since he mentioned 586, it wasn't worth bringing up [04:49] Hey not to big of a problem, but just a little bothersome. There are usually Three orange clear boxes in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop, but today when I logged in I noticed they were gone, and I have no idea why. All I really want to know is how to get them back. I just changed my login yesterday, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. [04:49] mandriva_: is it server suse? [04:49] WELL THAT WAS SIMPLE [04:49] dang [04:49] thanks all [04:49] people, i want to find pattern of one string of other string? how will i do that? [04:49] sarah1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:49] how can i make ubunt tu print me a .txt with the contents of a folder (using special characters (like ñ ´´´) im using this ls -R > listadearchivos.txt [04:50] k thanks [04:50] Trying to update to ubuntu netbook but it looks like xubuntu is still there. [04:50] mae_tae: cat string | grep pattent1 | grep pattern2? [04:50] something like grep -i "www.youtube.com/..*" "www.youtube.com/jtdel#/p/8/sdsd [04:50] arox: fcourse, you need to remove it === mete is now known as metefr [04:51] shcherbak, grep -i "www.youtube.com/..*" "www.youtube.com/jtdel#/p/8/sdsd [04:52] IdleOne: that's cool nautilus trick I didn't know that +h I didn't know that, I was doing it the hard way, thanks [04:52] What's the command for that? [04:52] shcherbak, how will i do it if apply it to what im trying to do [04:53] does anyone know if it is possible to force an http install using a local mirror instead of one tof the official mirrors? [04:53] shcherbak: it's desktop edition [04:53] hi. need some help, comp had a power fail while in the middle of a copy/paste transfer. all my files i was transferring are gone. what do i do? [04:53] mae_tae: not sure what you want to do. [04:54] shcherbak, i mean how will that pattern works on a particular url, thats what im trying to do [04:54] J_C: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/squid-deb-proxy that what you want? [04:54] how can i make ubunt tu print me a .txt with the contents of a folder (using special characters (like ñ ´´´) im using this ls -R > listadearchivos.txt i also want to include hidden files printed [04:54] mandriva_: I guess it will do. i586 is Xeon (just checked) [04:54] J_C: I'm not sure about force but you can have a local cache on your lan and I guess if you don't give wan access I guess that might work [04:55] J_C: you will need to do one install to warm up the cache, but then the next will be from the local copy. but it will still want to check time stamps to make sure the .deb files are up to date [04:55] shcherbak, example this pattern www.youtube.com/jtdel..* really works on www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/uasdfasf example [04:55] can any 1 tell me how to use yahoo messenger on ubuntu [04:55] Not really. I have a server on a private network that I'm using apt-mirror to populate. What I'm trying to do is use that mirror for the complete installation. It will initially start there, but after the apt-setup takes place it continues with official mirrors instead of mine [04:56] tushar, open your messenger program? [04:56] tushar, pidgin or empathy? [04:56] I dont know if I am asking in the right channel or not, but I was wondering if I have samba installed on a box that is the DMZ on my router, and I set hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 will it secure it from the internet or not? cause when I scan ports it still shows port 139 and 445 open (I mean when I scan it from outside my network) [04:56] I can get this to work with CentOS and Fedora, but not Ubuntu [04:56] mae_tae: www.youtube.com/jtdel - will work, but what is source for grep? [04:56] well can we use yahoo in it [04:56] J_C: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/squid-deb-proxy I use it, love it. [04:56] tushar, yes [04:57] tushar: you can use pidgin IM it supports all the major Instant messengers [04:57] J_C: what if you take out all repositories except your local cache? would it still check? [04:57] pksadiq: it turns out the problem was that i had my hard drive connected to a gsata port instead of regular sata. gsata is a special feature on gigabyte motherboards. [04:57] * valke2 sighs [04:57] what netbios name you put? [04:57] tushar: empathy should be in application/internet... you can use it for yahoo.. but it sucks.. i'd use Pidgin [04:57] J_C: mainly because it has a client that uses avahi to flip between the proxy and the normal repos, so laptops don't freak out when you take them away from the lan [04:57] but how to use webcam chatting application [04:58] eman2: and so it was really a hardware based problem, [04:58] CarlFK: Thanks, I'll look at it. Right now I've tested Ubuntu about 5 or 6 times and it never goes to my local mirror [04:58] J_C: for the install you have to specify the proxy - the installer does not use avahi. [04:58] shcherbak, ok, because what im trying to do is just to prove or validate that regular expression if that really works on a particular similar url [04:59] how to use webcam chatting application on messenger [04:59] mae_tae: one sec [04:59] J_C: er... yeah, and my late_install script then removes that setting so that the avahi thing works... just a sec... [04:59] shcherbak, this should be the source www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/uasdfasf [04:59] pksadiq: kinda. it shouldn't have mattered either way, because it was just a sata port with special features for RAID or something. [04:59] any ideas how to recover lost cut/paste files after a power fail? [05:00] hi its tushar [05:00] J_C: sed -i "/^Acquire::http::Proxy/s/^.*$//" $TARGET/etc/apt/apt.conf [05:00] i want some help [05:00] shcherbak, and this be the pattern www.youtube.com/jtdel..*, to be tested [05:00] mae_tae: cat XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX | grep -Eiorh '((abuse|Abuse)+@[[:alnum:]_]+?\.[[:alpha:].]{2,6})' [05:00] J_C: that is the complicted way of blank out the file :) [05:00] ubuntu wrx vs bt4 [05:01] eman2: I haven't yet heard of gsata [05:01] tushar, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340795 [05:01] I'm using LinuxCOE right now. I like it and it fits the bill for my requirements, i.e. Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian, but for some reason the Debian installs revert to the official mirrors while the rpm based ones do not, they will stay with the initial local mirror [05:01] tushar, btw, demanding help is poor etiquitte [05:01] mae_tae: ^^ that i use to find email in whois output -- abuse@whatever.somehere [05:01] The LAN has access to both the local and outside world [05:02] there's a repository out there somewhere, that has the latest gyachi in it... [05:02] shcherbak, thanks, ah ok,. thank you ill try it [05:02] and for medibuntu? [05:02] Anyone here have a good way to transfer videos to from ubuntu box to jailbroken iphone? [05:02] thrz some change [05:03] pksadiq: stands for Gigabyte sata . according to my install manual, they are 6 Gb/s instead of 3 Gb/s. They are just faster i guess [05:03] iphone was just done to be jailbreaked [05:04] if anyone might have any assistance available for a cut/paste fail, it'd be wonderful. please and thanks. [05:04] shcherbak, can you give me a very simple example like cat "hello" | grep -i "h*", because the example of mine returns an error no such file or directory [05:05] use tcsh [05:05] any indian here to help on ubuntu [05:05] or another ¦ [05:05] CarlFK: Unfortunately my experience with avahi is minimal, as well as debian based installs. My primary experience has been rpm based distros, not Ubuntu/Debian [05:05] mae_tae, use echo "hello" | [05:05] J_C: sigh.... oh yeah, read over the bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid-deb-proxy mainly that the default .conf doesn't have as many repos as you would hope. [05:05] tushar: Why do you need indians only? [05:05] shcherbak, cat "www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/u/asdfsfasf" grep -i "www.youtube.com/jtdel..*" [05:05] I'm not really sure when or how to run that apt sed routine you just mentioned [05:05] J_C: no experience necessary - it just works(tm) :) [05:06] Where does Ubuntu keep the Application Menu items on disk? [05:06] mae_tae: echo Hello | grep -i "h" [05:06] My googling is failing me on this one. :( [05:06] pkkid, are you trying to build a shortcut? [05:07] eman2: I don't usually care about the difference in 3-6Gbps, but I'm happy if I get a constant speed of 40kbps for my internet [05:07] CarlFK: I'll check out squiid-proxy, but will it handle or get in the way of the other installs (Redhat, etc)? [05:07] mae_tae: sorry, my bad. cat - screen file , echo - dispaly [05:07] J_C: not at all. [05:07] valke2, Im trying to remove entries to something that gnome-do is picking up (im getting 3 entries for 1 application) [05:07] i get pee, bye [05:07] shcherbak, got it, hehehe, thanks [05:07] J_C: you have to tell apt to use it. (either by setting a config, or installing squid-deb-proxy-client) [05:07] pkkid, oh okay. uno momento. [05:08] It is 20F outside, 64F (according to thermo), yet it is freezing right here. Sensors indicate that internal temperate of the case is 38C (100F). Should I just open the side of my case and let it rip? [05:08] And I deleted them from my Application menu, but im guessing they are stored someplace more general than my home dir [05:08] echo "www.youtube.com/jtdel#8/p/u/asdfsfasf" | grep -i "www.youtube.com/jtdel" -- correct one [05:08] Or would opening side of the case disrupt airflow [05:08] mae_tae: ^^ [05:08] pksadiq: this is the first time i built my own computer, so i wasn't even aware of these different speeds until a couple minutes ago when i checked the manual [05:09] mae_tae: also | is called pipe, and is somehow important [05:09] shcherbak, i see, ok, heheh, ill apply it [05:09] eman2, you probably won't get 6 GB/s [05:09] CarlFK: Of course I'll check it out, but how do I tell apt to use it in the middle of the install? These are basically hands-off installations, kinda like a sif file with MS [05:10] pkkid, question, how were they installed? wine, apt-get, aptitude, deb, etc? [05:10] eman2: did you assembled your own? how much did you reduced the cost by doing so? here, I get not more than 20$ [05:10] iszak: don't care, i'm just happy my HD is recognized :) [05:10] valke2, I installed it via their .sh installer [05:10] mae_tae: try this: ls -l ~ | grep "D" [05:10] I found one entry at /usr/share/applications/... I just need to find the one other one. :) [05:10] CarlFK: I don't mean to bug you, I'll read up on it first to see if it fits my requirements [05:10] J_C: I use a preseed file with: d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://g2:8000/ [05:11] iszak: that is Gbps and not GBps, b=bit B=byte [05:11] J_C: I've setup a local cache before but it would still get other stuff off the internet, I think I just setup my configs so it tried to find it in my local first and if not found there start looking on the wan repositories [05:11] I don't think it matters, but Komodo is installed at /opt/komodo-edit-6/... [05:11] pksadiq: i saved a lot of money, but that's because i got a good cpu and a gtx 460 graphics card. those are expensive when prebuilt [05:11] PKKid: is it antyvir? [05:11] CarlFK: Thanks, I'll have to defintely read up more on how the preseed works. [05:11] J_C: no prob - im happy to help someone set this up. I am looking for my wiki page on it... [05:11] shcherbak, huh? [05:12] PKKid: comodo what is it? [05:12] *komodo* [05:12] shcherbak, Its an IDE [05:12] shcherbak, ok, hehe, its good, is this possible to like ban www.youtube.com but allow www.youtube.com/watch=...etc in squid? === oldmanst1n is now known as oldmanstan [05:12] pkkid, more than likely there is an uninstall .sh script for it/them. [05:13] shcherbak, but it installs these little Application menu turds all over, and other programs are getting duplicate entries [05:13] pksadiq, cool story bro [05:13] The situation is that I'm in a fairly wide org with only one linux admin... me. And others want to be able to install for our users but they are not overly familiar with general linus installs. [05:13] eman2: and learnt many more ;), if you don't care talking more, you may carry on, but through private chat, this is just off topic [05:13] pkkid, google the name of the program and "uninstall script" or similar. [05:13] where else are menu items stored besides /usr/share/applications? [05:13] So what I'm doing is creating a "one stop shop" [05:13] J_C: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#Advanced:%20Hands-Off,%20Preseeded%20Network%20Server%20Install very old, so the exact .conf has changed, but thats all the parts you need. ping me when something isn't working [05:14] mae_tae: i think in squid you can just whitelist, not sure how it works with single youtube pages. [05:14] ? [05:15] CarlFK: Thanks for that... I've read some of the other preseed stuff on debian, but haven't run into this one... this will help [05:15] shcherbak, thats why im very confuse about of how do it [05:15] hehe [05:15] oy did this thing die? [05:15] I just installed ubuntu on my Eee PC and I'm having some trouble with video. [05:15] Does anyone know if there are vendor specific drivers? [05:15] yttrium: probably not... video for what, webcam? [05:15] CarlFK: Are you familiar with Linuxcoe, http://instalinux.com ?? [05:16] i just deleted a crap load of stuff i think. help? [05:16] VLC is just running choppy [05:16] That is what I'm using, locally [05:16] yttrium: does your netbook have a SSD? [05:16] found it ~/.local/shares/applications/ [05:16] There are some lockdowns we have to perform after install, and linuxcoe gives me that capability [05:16] yay for pkkid! [05:16] yttrium: did you check System>admin>hardware drivers ? [05:16] interesting that grep doesn't search hidden directories.. :-/ [05:16] Nope, regular 250 gb hard drive [05:17] I want to replace the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen with a logo of my choosing. how do i do that? [05:17] J_C: never seen it. now that I have the pxe install working I don't have to mess with CDs, which is really nice. [05:17] I did try "Additional Drivers" but nothing came up [05:17] I wasn't sure if there was another place to look [05:18] asdsaskjd [05:18] what should one do if they cut, but did not sucessfully paste and was forced to reboot? [05:18] pksadiq, do you think most hard drives can read/write at ~380 MB/s? [05:18] 能说汉语么？ [05:18] yttrium: if not seen at above then you could check and see what it has in it work lspci and google or ask here what is availble for it [05:18] !cn | ylmfos [05:18] ylmfos: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:18] Unfortunately I do not have the option of pxe [05:19] otherwise that is what I would be doing. I have no control over DNS or DHCP in my org [05:19] J_C: you can also boot pxe with a live cd that just enable pxe boot [05:19] pkkid, how were you able to search hidden dirs? [05:20] ylmfos: It‘s not #ubuntu-cn here [05:20] Yes, but I cannot do that at work, I have no ability to set that up. MS Admins control all that [05:20] mae_tae: hm... [05:20] J_C: I think you can use etherboot to hard code in the tftp server and file name to boot. [05:20] can you speak chinese? [05:20] iszak: never, Why should I?, but it has the capability to do so, the metal wires, the small circuit problems, nearby interferences etc decreases the speed [05:20] ylmfos: 这里不是中文 irc，中文请加入 #ubuntu-cn [05:21] pksadiq, so really it doesn't matter that much. [05:21] iszak: yes, it [05:21] CarlFK: I hadn't thought of that... but I'll have to check if I'm allowed to run a tftp server. We are in a heavily locked-down environment... think wikileaks :-) [05:21] J_C: well any machine can be configured to be dns and dhcp but you would have to pull your system off your works network to enable it to operate [05:21] I'm having video playback issues with a x264 1080p video and I don't think there should be any issues as this laptop has a discrete video card. Not sure what to do but have been trying a lot of different paths to get this playing smooth... am hoping someone here might be able to help. Tried Totem, VLC and Mplayer including looking into trying to enable vdpau hardware acceleration [05:21] J_C: the advantage would be the boot media (cd, usb, floppy?) would not change, and you could update the files on the tftp serer. ah.. that's the problem. right. [05:22] oops... no one is going to read that... too long :( [05:22] sacarlson: i have friends in .gov - it isn't a technical problem ;/ [05:22] sacarlson: true, and I cannot do that as I have to serve at least 6 different network blocks [05:22] gbear...miro? [05:22] iszak: sorry, I meant that It's applicable for those who uses Optic Cables inside their computers, ;) [05:22] hi every1, im newbie with ubuntu and i wanna ask if i can add backtrack repo to ubuntu [05:22] Hello. I have a question regarding core dumps in Ubuntu. Where do I find core dump files? I configured /etc/security/limits.conf, and the program that I am debugging does dump core, but I cannot find the core dump anywhere. [05:22] I have a server with a CPU overheat problem. It doesn't crash as long as I don't make it do intensive stuff like zip 7GB of files. I need to replace the motherboard. Can I drop in a replacement without having to reinstall the whole OS? It is running 9.10 server. [05:22] how do i change the wallpaper i see before I log in? [05:23] CarlFK: you got it... there are "requirements" [05:23] sprung: try ubuntu-tweak [05:23] specifically security issues [05:23] oh i didnt know i could do that through tweak [05:23] mmcthrow: /var/ something. but are you sure it is dumping? there is something else that need to be set. [05:23] im familiar with tweak i will look for it [05:23] i cut docs and pasted them to my thumb drive, but my laptop shut off due to a powerfailure. any way to recover the files? [05:23] valke2: I could try another player... but am wondering if there is anything wrong with video playback in 10.10 [05:24] J_C: what are you trying to do? [05:24] gbear14275: most works with totem, but for a very few I had to use xine player [05:24] CarlFK: Unfortunately there are no core* files in /var. [05:24] valke2, "grep -r foo ." instead of "grep foo *" [05:24] not that i can see. i bet someone else has a better idea. did you dl all gstreamer drivers? [05:24] CarlFK: The program does return "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", but I don't know if the dump is really generated. [05:24] u [05:24] valke2, well i missed the -r in the second example.. but you see what I mean, its . instead of * [05:24] mmcthrow: just a sec.. I think I have something that will do that... [05:25] mmcthrow: good - I didnt't get the (core dumpted) untill I enabled whatever i twas I was talking about.. [05:25] so thats to search hidden too pkkid? thx. [05:25] gbear14275: Essentially I'm building a primary mirror that is available for local updates and installs of many distros including Scientific Linux, CentOS, Redahat, Ubuntu, and Fedora, depending on the requirements/desires of the user [05:26] J_C: pm okay? [05:26] valke2, yep np. I just learned this 5 min ago myself. ;) [05:26] We need to control specifically what updates need to occur [05:26] pkkid, awesome. thanks for passing along your new found knowledge. [05:26] gbear14275: no sweat [05:26] mmcthrow: *** buffer overflow detected ***: tftp terminated - yay! now to enable dumps... [05:27] does ubuntu have a clipboard for when cut command is used? [05:27] yes [05:27] I've installed SSH server with tasksel but telnet localhost 23 still shows there's no server running ont he port. sudo service ssh restart shows 'ssh start/running, process 14935' so no issues there...any ideas? === sam---___---- is now known as sam-_- [05:28] Flynsarmy: I think ssh is on a different port than telnet [05:28] xud477, so after a reboot is it dumped? [05:29] reboot of ssh ? [05:29] valke2: cut/copy keep just last entry, but there is some choice to extend it [05:29] not at all... [05:29] Flynsarmy, ssh runs on port 22. just type 'ssh localhost' [05:29] yes [05:29] wath's wrong? [05:29] Flynsarmy, or rather the correct syntax is 'ssh @localhost' [05:29] yep [05:29] dnivra: haha yea i just realized that. i'm such a tool :) thanks heh [05:30] scherbak, oh crap. cut/paste gone horribly wrong. power failure in the middle of a transfer, not completed. everything is gone [05:30] Flynsarmy, no problem :). [05:30] Flynsarmy: ssh 127.0.0.1, firewall? [05:30] f [05:30] Hey not to big of a problem, but just a little bothersome. There are usually Three orange clear boxes in the bottom right hand corner of the desktop, but today when I logged in I noticed they were gone, and I have no idea why. All I really want to know is how to get them back. I just changed my login yesterday, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. [05:30] Is there a way to set a chroot jail for ssh? [05:30] yes [05:30] hi everyone. i get this error when i try to sign my e-mail using evolution on ubuntu 10.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/543880/ i searched and found this - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html but i cannot locate my gpg.conf file. can anyone tell me what is the name of the gpg.conf file? [05:31] Flynsarmy: apparmor ? [05:31] bluefever, right click, and i think it's preferences, so that you can have "workspaces" cause that's what those boxes are. [05:31] i dont like evolution... [05:31] to huge... [05:31] rigved, ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf [05:31] use thunderb... [05:32] I have a server with a CPU overheat problem. It doesn't crash as long as I don't make it do intensive stuff like zip 7GB of files. I need to replace the motherboard. Can I drop in a replacement without having to reinstall the whole OS? It is running 9.10 server. [05:32] DrDamnit: I would think you could [05:32] dnivra: i tried that. but it's still not solving the problem [05:33] !panels [05:33] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:33] xud477: i have thunderbird too. but i want to solve this problem first, then i may consider shifting to it [05:33] * valke2 frustrated [05:33] rigved, well that's the gpg conf file :). i don't use evolution so no clue :). [05:34] ok ;) ....thbrd more light [05:34] DrDamnit: other than turn off any propriatary drivers for video and other stuf it might boot right up [05:34] valke2: what have you cut/paste? [05:35] dnivra: if i create a key using a 1024 DSA key instead of the current 2048 DSA key, will that solve the problem [05:35] shcherbak, my thesis and some other docs, all very small, at the most 10mb [05:35] xud477: ok [05:35] valke2: you mean files? [05:35] i create always 4096 rsa pair [05:36] between drives? [05:36] shcherbak, you bet, all open office docs. [05:36] rigved: I got not more tha http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-December/032196.html , nothing new [05:36] rigved, i'm not too sure since i've no clue what's the issue's root cause. [05:36] shcherbak, from hd to thumb drive. [05:36] mmcthrow: juser@dhcp42:/var/crash/_usr_bin_tftp.1000.crash [05:36] valke2: testdisk is first stage, to check both drives [05:36] sacarlson: thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. [05:37] shcherbak, how? [05:37] i have'nt hard disk.... just flash :) [05:37] mmcthrow: to get that I had to do sudo vim /etc/default/apport; sudo initctl start apport [05:37] mmcthrow: How were you able to generate the dump? [05:37] xud477: ok. i'll try that. i just thought DSA was more secure. [05:38] valke2: you should not use drives to maximize chnces of succes. testdisk is rather simple, [05:38] rsa is good, if you are shure about the random generator... [05:38] mmcthrow: was that for me? [05:38] my dvd drive doesnt seem to read a disc, it is acting as if the last disc i had in there is still there [05:39] valke2: seluth-kit more advanced. you can download backtrack4 and run forensic mode, good how to in on ubuntu page. [05:39] refreshing doesnt seem to change anything [05:39] hello, anyone using avast antivirus on ubuntu? [05:39] CarlFK: Is apport user-specific? [05:39] @valke2 I can't get an option for preferences when I right click. Any ideas? [05:39] and when i try to open the old files it says cannot read from disc of course [05:39] I'm running 10.10 [05:39] CarlFK: e.g., if one user enables apport, is apport enabled for the entire system or for just that user? [05:39] Echo, i doubt anyone here even uses an anti-virus :). [05:39] 有没有人说中文 [05:39] mmcthrow: root enables it, so system wide [05:39] mmcthrow: what crashed: I installed natty, then ran tftp shaz <<< "get pxelinux.cfg/default" [05:39] i'm on bt4 on ubuntu... [05:39] Echo: linux doesnt normally need an antivirus .. just a firewall [05:40] shcherbak, bad thing about why i was doing it...i don't have internet AT ALL avail on my notebook ii was trying to transfer from. just got new comp today. [05:40] valke2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [05:40] its realy secure and so much more but less easy to use [05:40] how do i get firestarter to run on startup? [05:40] Even with enabling apport, I do not see a core dump. [05:40] hai [05:40] rs0832 [05:40] !startup | Echo [05:40] Echo: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [05:41] Echo: add the command to the 'startup applications' in the system >prefs menu [05:41] valke2: well whole idea is to not use notebook until you get files back or be certain that it is not possible. [05:41] but without gnome... on fluxbox and window maker wm [05:41] okay that's outdated i guess. it's system > preferences -> startup applications Echo [05:41] mmcthrow: um... try asking in #ubuntu-bugs. [05:41] i think i might try to learn Java and Eclipse... has anyone else done this? was it easy/hard? [05:41] k [05:41] CarlFK: Thank you; I'll check that out. [05:42] Is it possible to repair windows 7 MBR from ubuntu???? [05:42] java with or without eclipse is good... [05:42] I want to reinstall Ubuntu but don't want to dl all the updates since launch. How do I safe them before I reinstall? [05:42] wrb123: what languages do you know now? [05:42] tibaal89 basically C from when i was in college several years ago, and PHP seems boring and too easy because i already know all the basics of it [05:42] MBR .... use dd/linux command 446 or more bytes [05:42] wrb123: java is good and easy. for queries ask in ##programmin [05:43] shcherbak, true. thankfully it's not a failed harddrive or a failed thumb drive. it's just, if the power cord get's juggled, it all dies. [05:43] Never mind I got it. [05:43] Sameyeam, i doubt you can. few of the archives would be stored in /var/cache/apt but the directory gets cleaned periodically. however you can back up all the names of the packages installed currently and restore them easily. [05:43] Thanks ! [05:43] nirazio: no you need the windows 7 disc for that [05:43] tibaal89 and i used VBA at a previous job out of boredom [05:43] wrb123: java is good and easy. for queries ask in ##programming [05:43] rigved okay thank you [05:43] wrb123: also ##java [05:43] in synaptic you can specify do not clean archives/cache [05:43] wrb123: java is very easy to learn the basics... i picked up a book that was great, and it was very easy [05:43] cool :) [05:44] xud477, what's the point if it's already cleaned up :)? [05:44] thanks that's encouraging [05:44] valke2: i think, scalpel and foremost will do job [05:44] wrb123: python is easier and way more enjoyable. but not as much market. [05:44] why are my downloads so slow when I do an apt-get upgrade [05:44] rs0832: But I don't have Win7 DVD at this moment. Any way to do same from Ubuntu? [05:44] its too late, but you can re-install, ... more complicated... [05:44] shcherbak, thanks. i'll see what i can do. [05:45] have to set synaptic at the first install... [05:45] mister_m, the server could be under a lot of load, your connection may not be fast. [05:45] i can help for win7 or even any else win... years without this sh..... [05:46] nirazio: i dont think so.. [05:46] how do I install hardware drivers apps??

How can I get it to appear in my Applications>Games menu? [06:30] lol xud477 im not so young either :) [06:30] Echo_, no, but it IS common to have problems with IcedTea. I still have no clue why they put IcedTea in 'restricted extras' since it isn't restricted. But you know this? [06:30] i d not use macintosh since a long time for ubuntu... DRM and so obfuscated things... [06:30] You have to enable partner repos, uninstall IcedTea and install Sun Java [06:30] echo_ --- lol :) [06:31] sun java yes... (oracle... hum saled) [06:31] nah dont know much im a noob to linux but after looking at the screenshots pretty sure i can adapt [06:32] i'm shure too [06:32] I use acidrip to rip DVDs for backup. I find that mencoder is skipping a lot of frames when I see the debug log. Is there a way to avoid this? [06:32] Echo_, then your problems with java are likely actually with iced tea, install ACTUAL java and your problems should disapear [06:32] Chakravanti: I would guess that it's because people were used to java being installed when they installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, so when they decided to prefer IcedTea over Sun Java they didn't remove "installing java" as part of the task of installing restricted-extras. [06:32] megamek gives me this Could not initialise: [06:32] java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException [06:32] acidrip work very well, and install also handbrake :) [06:32] Jordan_U, yeah, it's rather asinine imho [06:32] kool [06:33] but a minor thing considering how awesome ubuntu is =) [06:33] xud477, The problem is acid rip (mencoder rather) dropping a lot of frames during conversion. [06:33] marvin_ ... seem just a story of CLASSPATH... [06:34] yes chandru_in or use dvdcpy and cat the .VOB piped in ffmpeg... [06:34] sometimes one sometimes the other one... [06:35] yea but something similar happens with arduino [06:35] im putting my 2 cents in devede worked for me .. [06:36] ok thanks xud477. but what could be causing the frame skips? [06:38] industrials.... [06:38] in this case i use handbrake in local for .mkv or m4v and after that a ffmpeg [06:41] i have to quite, i'm using an unknown wifi and have to install java on bt4/kernel(ubuntu),,.

[07:37] DerSeppel: Did you recently update the kernel? === Smurfie is now known as Cynderblock [07:37] i was trying to be a cave man.. it got more attention to my download issue xD [07:38] spinningcompass: yes. [07:38] ubusammyn150: Attention-seeking behavior isn't a good idea in here. [07:38] DerSeppel: Try adding 'nohz=off' to the command-line params to the kernel & see if that fixes the problem. [07:38] I think Skype forced me to get the new Beta version.. and now its freezing up on me. What can I do? [07:38] why are my gnome panels visible when I go to play games? [07:39] ubusammyn150: try not to act stupid here [07:39] mister_m: fullscreen games? or are they in windowed mode [07:39] whats up with the EUID's here? [07:39] spinningcompass: i cant login via ssh, remember? only thing working is opening a scp connection and then starting a shell from winscp. Its not real ssh shell thoug [07:40] spinningcompass: i cant use any editors on that shell [07:40] Pokit, as far as I know they are fullscreen [07:40] where in smb.cnf do you specify a share name? [07:40] Pokit, can I force them to be something else? [07:40] mister_m: not sure. I haven't tried gaming in linux [07:41] infid: you'll see it as [share name] [07:41] Is there a way I can fix my skype from freezing up? [07:41] Pokit, can I hide the gnome panels? [07:42] deww i dont see that anywhere in smb.conf [07:42] spinningcompass: you were kind of quick with a possible answer, is that a "known problem" ? [07:43] mister_m: there is an option to auto-hide gnome panels [07:43] infid: create it :) [07:43] Pokit, where? [07:43] mister_m: right click on panel, go to properties, then click autohide [07:43] deww the comments in smb.conf say that the username will be teh name of the share by default but that's not working for me either [07:43] DerSeppel: It is with the right combination of hardware and software. Certain motherboards (esp. those in certain netbooks) don't like the advanced power-saving code in the latest kernels. "nohz=off" disables it, at the expense of power savings. === Cynderblock is now known as Smurfie [07:44] spinningcompass: its a root machine that has been running a while now. real server hardware. === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc [07:44] infid: hmm i am looking at the smb.conf, it looks to be commented out. it's actually quite a bit to read there [07:45] Craaaaaaap. [07:45] o.o [07:46] Anyone familiar with using multitouch in 10.10? When i first login, multitouch will not work (multiple fingers on touchpad makes the cursor go berserk), but if I lock the screen and come back, multitouch magically works! [07:46] hey there [07:46] deww i'm not seeing anything when i search for 'share name' [07:46] yyep [07:46] spinningcompass: the machine is running fine, apart from the login issue. is there a way to verify the issue before addin the kernel parameter? [07:46] i just installed java on bt4/ubuntu kern4l :) [07:46] infid: you wont explicitly find the literal "share name" [07:47] DerSeppel: If it's the login issue alone, it's unlikely to be the issue I'm talking about. I've made a mistake. [07:47] deww i'm not seeing anything that indicates how i can set a share name [07:47] share name ? in which context ? [07:47] samba [07:48] DerSeppel: If it freezes at authentication, could there be a problem w/ file permissions, domain name resolution. ...? [07:48] i'm setting up a samba server and need to name a share something, i have the other share options such as path, comment, browseable.. [07:48] inode shared physicaly ? [07:48] but i need an actual name so i can tell people what to smbmount [07:48] Hi, does anyone else have a problem with the skype client silently crashing? [07:48] Yes [07:48] I do [07:48] Hello everybody. Can anybody advise me a tool to monitor internet traffic on my ubuntu 10.04. I need a tool which will tell me what is connected to internet (skype, mozilla and etc) and tell me how much it downloaded [07:48] Or ..am. [07:48] infid: ok on top of where you defined all that, put in [infids files] [07:48] spinningcompass: file permission problems should be visible in the auth.log dont they? [07:48] or something [07:48] it's supposed to be their username by default i've read but when they try it it says 'mount error(6) no such device or address' [07:48] It keeps freezing. [07:49] smurfie: yes [07:49] cp -arl ... ? [07:49] DerSeppel: I would say so. Do you have access to auth.log? [07:49] the onlye way I know its broken is when I notice the CPU usage goes up [07:49] Any idea how to fix it?... or is there a way? [07:49] deww well i already put a label on it called [main share] but that's not the share name right, since it has spaces in it [07:49] spinningcompass: yes, as SFTP via ssh2 is working ... strangely [07:49] no, I have no idea [07:49] that's just a configuration file label for config file parsing [07:49] Ah, ok. [07:50] I was hoping someone here might have a solution [07:50] Hello [07:50] deww: oh what that actually worked, when i took the spaces out [07:50] evilsee_, did Skype force you into the new Beta version? [07:50] Because it did with me.. just a few hours ago. [07:50] the space should work, but... [07:51] thanks deww :) [07:51] (looking this up) === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:51] no I wasnt forced it anything [07:51] went right over my head [07:51] I downloaded it a while back [07:51] Smurfie what version do you have? [07:51] 2.1 [07:51] I dont get how to format my usbstick, to format i have to umount. but when I umount the display-backlight goes off and /dev/sdc disappears. so i have to remount to make it reappear then i have to umount to format wich makes /dev/sdc disappear si have to remount... argh I'm in a loop here [07:51] That's the new Beta version, isn't it? [07:52] spinningcompass: i cant see any problems in auth.log, another strange thing is, the sessions are open and kept alive. "who" shows me that there are even sessions left open from yesterday. [07:52] Dual core processor. Resource center (applet in tool bar) says one of the processors is at 100%. But going directly to the resource center, not much is showing. How can I find out why this 100% is showing? [07:53] im asleep, a++ [07:53] smurfie: I have 2.1.0.81 [07:54] Oo.. my thing only says 2.1.. and nothing after that. Weird. [07:54] FishFace: try the command top [07:54] I have two ethernet cards. One is inbuilt on the motherboard. Can i disable the inbuilt one? [07:54] evilsee_, do you know the command in terminal to reset it? [07:54] help! my login is totally hung, just says "Cancelling..." how do I restart the session without hurting the other currently running gnome-sessions ? [07:55] I just normally kill the skype process [07:55] ServerTechLaptop: yes go into bios and disable it at preboot [07:55] ps aux | grep skype [07:55] unRuhe: do this (i just tried it), bring up a terminal, sudo umount /dev/sdc1 [07:55] then [07:55] sacarlson: Whoa! apt-get is at 87%. Dont know why. [07:55] kill -9 the processid [07:55] sacarlson, ok thanks [07:55] there are normally two [07:55] deww: thx i try [07:55] Yea, I tried that.. a friend who's on skype tells me that it still shows me as 'online' [07:55] spinningcompass: name resolution seems to be working too ... [07:55] hmm [07:56] Im not sure then [07:56] sacarlson, thanks it worked [07:56] Hi,Is there a way to view server's current date and time,for example:cdimage.ubuntu.com? [07:56] spinningcompass: ans since the "unix like" shell from WinSCP is working, i'd say it is a sshd problem ... just dont know where to look at right now ... [07:56] deww looks like some people insert \040 for the space [07:57] doesnt work for me though [07:57] YiMing: try the command date [07:57] think thats just for fstab [07:58] All 'killed'. Thanks :) [07:58] sacarlson: ok,thanks. [07:58] infid: i'm going hunt down my old config, pretty sure i didn't use spaces. [07:59] deww: i just swrapped it in quotes and it worked [07:59] eg "\\hostname\\share name" [07:59] nice [07:59] for bash [07:59] supposed to use \040 for fstab [08:00] spinningcompass: no idea? [08:01] deww, i meant "\\\\hostname\\share name" [08:02] in unetbootin, are the HdMedia ubuntu versions installations that preserve the data even after a unetbootin device has been rebooted? [08:03] infid: '\\hostname\shared_name' makes you less escape insane :) [08:04] deww: now in gparted right when I run the formatting. the display light goes off, it says "...calibrating failed" and after that "no such device /dev/sdc" is it that my mp3player-usb-stick just sucks? [08:04] sacarlson: sorry,but i found date command can only view local date,and i hope to view a remote server's(such as cdimage.ubuntu.com) date. [08:04] unRuhe: probably /dev/sdc1 if it's partitioned [08:05] deww: it is partitioned currently 1 fat16 partition [08:05] i need help with broken packages [08:06] Snookie1: what did you doo? [08:06] Anyone familiar with using multitouch in 10.10? When i first login, multitouch will not work (multiple fingers on touchpad makes the cursor go berserk), but if I lock the screen and come back, multitouch magically works! [08:06] YiMing: you would have to ssh into the server and use that command to see it from that server [08:07] unRuhe: oh i see what you mean. you're using t he nice graphical version of gparted... hmm. it could be a flakey device. got another usb drive you can spare for testing? [08:07] sacarlson: ok. [08:07] Pokit: sounds like a bug [08:07] anyone here have mysql? [08:08] i can't send to the mysql channel [08:08] wrd: tried to install libiphone, or something around the lines of libmux, then i had the broken packages warning [08:08] deww: sure to find one, if it works with the other i just throw this one against the wall. thx very much for your help [08:08] what is it? [08:09] unRuhe: when you plug in the drive, it shows up in gparted right? (drop down menu). then you select the partition you wanna format and it should say /dev/sdc1 [08:09] Snookie1: where did you get that? [08:09] wrd: i ran synaptic and deleted the broken package, however that did nothing [08:09] Snookie1: whats your current state ? [08:09] wrd: whenever i try installing anything from a synaptic package [08:09] wrd: libusbmux0 [08:10] wrd: still getting that error [08:11] wrd: i just got "You have 1 broken package on your system! [08:11] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it." after trying to update libusbmux0 [08:11] Snookie1: libsubmux0 is not a default package in ubuntu ... [08:11] ahoj [08:11] olskolirc: i know a tiny (tiny) bit about mysql. just a tiny tiny bit. what's up? [08:12] wrd: i tried to install it so i could get my ipod touch synced [08:12] i don't remember my user name and password deww how do i recover that [08:12] !password | olskolirc [08:12] olskolirc: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes.

[08:13] skip grant tables [08:13] thanks deww [08:13] you can change your password in there [08:13] wrd: i tried removing it some minutes ago, but i still got it [08:13] wrd: will try again [08:14] i cant install gstreamer plllugin [08:14] wrd: mark for complete removal? [08:14] i don't need to change my nix passwd rww i need to find out my mysql login and pass [08:14] tete [08:15] Snookie1: the difference -> the configuration is removed too. [08:15] Snookie1: so shouldn't matter [08:15] wrd: ah, ok, thanks [08:15] and this is why we have the "ask question with all details on one line" thing :( [08:15] deww: it just worked fine with an other usb stick. ok solved [08:16] wrd: it worked, thanks [08:16]   [08:17] are you guys dialed into that theo de raadt shit that just went down === qpt is now known as qpt` [08:18] !ot | qpt` [08:18] qpt`: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Half the time when i swtich into dual screen mode, the screen goes black but I can still see the cursor. Waiting the 30 seconds does nothing. This never occurred in previous versions of ubuntu. Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas? [08:24] will AptonCD contain updates?

[08:29] ...where would I look within the source deb of any given package as to see what compilation flags were used in building said package? example: ~src/mpd:$ ./configure --enable-ffmpeg [08:29] Ileden, I had ATI and it was aweful! I now use Nvidia [08:29] Ubuntu 10.10, Nvidia proprietry on laptop. Half the time when i swtich into dual screen mode, the screen goes black but I can still see the cursor. Waiting the 30 seconds does nothing. This never occurred in previous versions of ubuntu. Anyone else experiencing this? any ideas? [08:30] Ileden, dual monitor instant setup no fiddleing [08:30] im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 server edition from a usb stick [08:30] but it goes bad when it tries to detect the cdrom drive, which is not present [08:30] Sameyeam: thanks for sharing the experience. Do you know if this is a general trend for nvidia to work well with linux? [08:30] Flynsarmy, which screen is MAIN? [08:30] it doesn't seem to use the usb stick for the install [08:30] Sameyeam: he laptop [08:30] it boots from the usb stick though [08:31] Sameyeam: there's a second bug, even if i select the laptop as main screen, it makes the external main the first time, i cancel then re-set and then my laptop is main [08:31] Sameyeam: btw which nvidia card is it? [08:31] Flynsarmy, try switching it and check you are using the native resolutions and not forcing a resolution [08:31] Sameyeam: not forcing resolutions, and it doesn't make a diff if its switched [08:32] Flynsarmy, hmmm always a trouble maker! lol [08:32] The 2x setting bug has always benen around, but this black screen one is a real doozy - means i need to ctrl+alt+backspace and re-log in, losing all my open apps in the process [08:32] interestingly enough, the cursor changes to hand when it hovers over something that would be a hand etc. its just everything is black... [08:33] Ileden, hmm don't recall but a cheap one. 2 years old. Newer should be even better! [08:34] Flynsarmy, have you tried uninstall driver and reinstall? [08:34] Sameyeam: haven't tried that. don't really want to :( [08:34] Flynsarmy, not hard on 10.10 [08:34] Will i need to restart x? [08:35] Flynsarmy, perhaps it's the config file? Make a backup, make a new empty one and restart and it might create a new one [08:36] Hi there! I rebooted a machine yesterday and I suddently cannot login anymore. The ssh session freezes right after successful authentication. [08:36] Flynsarmy, how old is the laptop? [08:36] Sameyeam: I have noticed that nvidia driver has appeared to...crash? a few times and it defaulted back to whatever the non-proprietry one is [08:36] 2 years [08:36] Sameyeam: I'm going for older side myself as well - not for gaming purposes, just my previous one is dying away. [08:36] Ileden, price range? [08:37] Flynsarmy, I would try a simple remove and replace with full reboot inbetween [08:37] Sameyeam: well, it's employer's money, so... :P but nah, something below 100€ probably. [08:37] Flynsarmy, I had these issues back on 9.04 but not since [08:37] Sameyeam: where's the config file? [08:38] Ileden, you'll be fine. Some cards have the Nvidia chipset and are much cheaper. That's what I have [08:38] Flynsarmy: no clue on how to advise ya as to why Ubuntu's autoconfig stuff is not working, but in my own experience with this stuff, I've always had to depend on custom Xorg.conf files in order to get everything the way I wish, and so with that said: http://pastebin.com/ESh1z4DG [08:38] Flynsarmy, just a second [08:38] Flynsarmy: mind you, I'm running on older hardware, but the config, in general, ought to remain the same! (NV44a chipset / Geforce 6200) [08:40] how would I create a softlink with a given umask? [08:40] how can i make this symbol | on console pls [08:41] i8degrees: I'm constantly moving the laptop and switching in and out of dual screen mode. Wouldn't having that 'serverlayout' with multiple screens screw that up? [08:41] where do i change phpmyadmin values in ubuntu? [08:42] Flynsarmy: ah, yes, I would think so :] ...you could try removing the ServerLayout config all together, btw [08:42] Flynsarmy: also, if you aren't familiar with the usage of the software 'xrandr', I'd strongly suggest becoming intimately familiar with this :] [08:42] Goddard: maybe http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ [08:43] Flynsarmy: ...there are also applets that provide wrappers around xrandr functionality [08:43] i8degrees: Think I might take Sameyeam's uninstall/reinstall approach :) [08:43] Flynsarmy: hehe, worth a shot ;D [08:43] gusy how can make this symbol pls : | [08:43] mitnick: don't you have it on your keyboard?

[08:56] cyberlord: sudo apt-get remove [08:57] cyberlord: or dpkg --force-all remove [08:57] sudo apt-get autoremove [08:57] cyberlord: as always, though, be careful :] [08:57] ttiicc: that got me thinking so I tested it by creating a symlink from my account sacarlson, I then loged into another account and tried to delete the file even though it is 777 as seen from ls -l, I can't change it [08:59] update of 10/04 > cant print. got HP driver, installed, cant print. driver is there on the panel. No reason given. Used to work flawlessly. [08:59] ttiicc: but what if I linked the same file when I was loged into that other account? you should try that to be sure [08:59] Hi I installed python2.5 on my own to get GmailBackup work. Since a few days it stopped working with the following error: [09:00] Traceback (most recent call last): [09:00] File "gmail-backup-gui.py", line 12, in [09:00] ImportError: No module named wx [09:00] may anyone help me? [09:00] I need help from you guys. I updated a ubuntu server yesterday and I can't login anymore. The ssh session is freezing right after successful authentication. The maschine is running fine so far. SFTP/SCP access is working. Any ideas? [09:00] sacarlson: I think the permission flags are omitted on symlinks [09:00] ttiicc: yes but maybe the owner and group are not [09:01] Hi All! Please, may somebody help me with my problem (Xvfb - virtual framebuffer X Server + xvkbd)? [09:01] DerSeppel: if sftp access is still working, have you pulled the diagnostic logs out from /var/log in order to peek at possible cause? [09:02] i8degrees: yes. auth.log only shows the successful auth process. no warnings/errors. [09:04] DerSeppel: hmm, odd! no other symptoms being reported? let me guess, you can't restart the box? :] [09:04] is there a problem with using irc on empathy or something cause i had to go web based to get in [09:04] ttiicc: I did the reverse I created a symlink from my other account to my account and only the other account can be allowed to delete or modify that symlink or the superuser sudo [09:04] i8degrees: i could try. WinSCP is able to open a "unix like" shell. This basic shell works so far. [09:05] DerSeppel: what version Ubuntu are we dealing with here? [09:05] i8degrees: 10.04.1 LTS - 2.6.32-27-server [09:05] is there a program that i can organize my pictures by facial recognition? [09:06] ttiicc: last question is now can someone in the group if not the same as the use can they modify or delete the symlink ln -s? [09:06] How can I obtain a list of users or computers connected to my ubuntu samba shares? [09:07] mvandruff: if you count writing the software with an available library, sure :-] other than that, the only thing I'm aware of is Google Picasa's ability to recognize faces within your photos [09:08] Hi i just installed ubuntu and wanted to change the display. There is no option in system->preferences-> display ? [09:08] DerSeppel: what were the list of software applications that were updated, btw? [09:08] Any idea how can i change resolution ? [09:08] only the kernel and headers as far as i remember .... [09:09] DerSeppel: giving the system a reboot ought to not hurt ... on occasion, I've had updates that have required reboots in order to properly reinit config and all [09:09] tkj [09:09] i8degrees: I'm currently rebooting the machine. I rebooted it yesterday though, right after the update. [09:10] ?? [09:10] DerSeppel: oh, well that doesn't sound very promising! [09:11] I did a sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current, reboot, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current, activate, reboot and now it says its activated but for some reason its still not in use. ideas? [09:11] i8degrees: machine is up again, login works right now, but its very unresponsive. Same as yesterday. Worked for a short while the the freeze [09:11] blackhole: System> preferences> monitors [09:11] ahh ok thnx [09:12] blackhole: no problem [09:12] rs0832, it seems to show only 800 x 600 [09:12] rs0832, any idea how can i add higher resolution? [09:12] rs0832, I have it installed using VM and it couldn't detect monitor. It's a laptop... [09:13] blackhole: o.o [09:13] DerSeppel: ah, well, now is the time to do as much debugging / diagnostics as possible :] [09:13] rs0832, do i need to install something specific for it to detect monitor .. [09:13] i8degrees: i guess i'll try to back up the current userdata and then i'll try to revert to the system backup from yesterday morning :/ [09:13] blackhole: maybe a driver [09:13] rs0832, it's a nvidia quadro graphics card [09:13] rs0832, so may be linux driver for nvidia quadro? [09:13] blackhole: you can try [09:13] rs0832, or may be i can somehow add a higher resolution to this def monitor? [09:13] i8degrees: i've already used all debug possibilities known to me. [09:13] The resolution on my startup splash screen is too low. How do I adjust that? [09:14] DerSeppel: knowing the list of apps that were updated would be nice ... I'm curious if ssh or anything relating to was updated? either that bin is fuxxed or perhaps another process is mysteriously murdering due to ? [09:14] blackhole: arent there any other options? [09:14] rs0832, nope :( [09:14] blackhole: try detect monitors [09:14] DerSeppel: hard to say, really ... I can't say I have had any problems per se ;/ [09:15] rs0832, doesn't helps [09:15] rs0832, tried already! [09:15] i8degrees: is there a simple way of optaining a change list from the last apt-get upgrade? [09:15] blackhole: you are running it on a virtual machine? [09:15] DerSeppel: try running a query through Google to see if there is any reports surfacing of your issue? [09:15] rs0832, yes [09:15] DerSeppel: uhmm, let me see... [09:15] When opening nvidia-settings it says i need to run nvidia-xconfig but that app doesn't exist and its not in apt-cache search either...ideas? [09:15] blackhole: ah then i think you need to configure it in the virtual machine [09:15] rs0832, details reg display on VM is video memory 8 MB [09:15] hmm ok [09:16] i8degrees: already did. only related search results with what seems to be the same issue where mailing lists or forum entries where the issue remained unresolved [09:17] guten morgen [09:17] good morning [09:18] where can i find the supportchanel for ubuntu9.10? [09:19] georg_: This is it. [09:19] I was just upgrading ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 when it crashed (power disconected), upon restart it can not load up becasue some components (configuration settings for gnome power manager?) were not installed properly. Advice?

[09:21] Ah thanks. [09:22] Jordan: do you know about Zorin os [09:22] ive got web-brower, irc, and msn open, and my panel applet is shoing im uploading about 80kbs, this doesnt seem right to me, how can i check what specific applicaitons are using the internet? [09:22] the problem ist the kdenlive. That version 0.7.6... ins not found.

I can't open http://www.zorin-os.webs.com [09:24] Jordan_U: Thanks, I just clicked the option to repair broken packages, I think it is going to take a very long time as it had download some 1300+ packages and was only part way through installing them [09:24] mandrivia_: open it through a proxy like hidemyass.com [09:24] DerSeppel: ah :] typical.... well, that's easy enough, anyhow! if you have console access to the system, anyhow :-) [09:25] georg_: did you install flashplayer? [09:25] DerSeppel: you could try selecting the recovery option on the kernel that you were last on and see how the system runs afterwards === jeff_ is now known as Guest89602 [09:26] DerSeppel: ...if it patches things up, just remove the latest kernel installs and it'll autoconfig grub back to the older one (picks the newest kernel available and throws it on top) [09:26] hi guys I need to configure python in order to add a path to the sys module, may anyone help? [09:27] i8degrees: yes ... thats what i was thinking about right know. I'll call the datacenter and let them reboot the machine into recovery to get a working shell [09:28] DerSeppel: *nods* ought to be smooth sailing from there :-) [09:29] i want to reach a computer in a network behind a router.. i have access to the router, so i basically just have to do some ssh forwarding.. how do i do that? [09:29] i8degrees: thanks you dude. [09:30] zamba you need to log into your router config page, it is usually at 192.168.1.1 on a browser [09:30] DerSeppel: wish ya best of luck!! [09:30] zamba, then go to port forwarding and forward to the computer you want, port 22 is the default port for ssh [09:31] noonian: oh, nevermind.. it's not a router.. it's just a regular computer inside the network [09:31] noonian: so i need to do ssh forwarding [09:32] if you are on the network you should just be able to ssh to the other computer then [09:32] no [09:32] i have access to a computer that's in the network [09:32] i'm on the outside [09:32] so i need to ssh through this computer to reach any of the other from the outside [09:33] ok [09:33] so just ssh to that computer, then ssh to one of the other ones on the network [09:34] you will still need the local network ip of the other computer [09:34] noonian: i need to access the web port [09:34] noonian: and i need to do this from my web browser [09:34] noonian: i KNOW i need ssh forwarding, so can you stop fighting the question? :) [09:35] zamba, im not trying to fight with you hehe. so you want port 80 on the one you have access to to be port 22 on the other one on the network? === ServerTech|Lapto is now known as ServerTechLaptop [09:37] How do i upgrade ubuntu server 10.04 to ubuntu server 10.10?

[09:47] do you have any idea to download zorin os [09:48] jerk, I think if you click on the sound icon and go to sound preferences you can switch it to analog output, then go into alsamixer and make sure the volume is up for headphones and speakers [09:49] where does ubuntu store its library files?i want to add my own library to use in c compiling, but don't really know where ubuntu stores it.

[09:55] okay....alsamixer says my headphone isn't being detected [09:57] Flynsarmy: I guess you can try live cd boot and delete or rename the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try boot again [09:58] can you still boot with nosplash option in 10.04? [09:58] #flashrom [09:58] rescue mode ftw [09:59] Hey guys, quick question. Macs have a "secure empty trash" option, is this available on ubuntu? I've looked through the repositories with no luck [09:59] 有中国人吗 [09:59] How to block icmp responses?? [09:59] How to block icmp responses?? [09:59] iptables ? [10:00] hidnshadows : i think there is a package in the repos for that [10:00] hidnshadows: Yes, through the terminal you can use "shread" and I'd bet there is also a GUI tool. [10:00] rs0832 any idea on what keywords I should try? [10:00] hidnshadows : 'wipe' [10:00] hidnshadows: s/shread/shred/ [10:01] !iptables | nirazio [10:01] nirazio: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [10:01] so, can anyone plz tell why my headphone isn't being detected by alsamixer? [10:01] Did someone manage to update to 10.10 from Update manager? I'm asking because i have ubuntu 10.4 , but it doesnt show me the latest dist.. [10:02] jerk: is it usb? [10:02] ZyreX : i have [10:02] twitch: no [10:02] jerk, you might have to hit f5 to see everything in alsamixer [10:02] hi there .. would any insane ubuntist show me output from: dpkg -S `which lshw` [10:02] thanks [10:02] rs0832: can you guide me a little. i tried to swith from one server to another, , then to main server, but still, it doesnt show any dist update there? [10:03] twitch: Yes using iptables [10:03] ^^ check please if -S $file shows which package owns a $file [10:03] ZyreX : why dont you just use the cli? [10:04] ZyreX : sudo apt-get install update-manager-core | sudo do-release-upgrade -d [10:04] nettezzaumana: I see lshw: /usr/bin/lshw [10:04] thanks, i will try [10:04] noonian: okay, did f5 too... not helping :( [10:04] ZyreX: no problem [10:04] i have an issue with freenx in the client side (no machine client) some buttons of applications disappear [10:05] sacarlson: thanks .. no problem, but i asked which package deploys that file and it could be achieved by: dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw [10:05] i hope [10:05] IIRC [10:05] ZyreX, menu System - Administration - Software sources; page Updates - Release Upgrade - Normal releases [10:05] Is there any way to stop the dpkg process? [10:06] yes, sergey , its on normal releases.. [10:06] jerk, no idea why they arent showing up :( [10:06] My problem: the update manager locked up when it was installing something, so I killed it off. [10:07] im doing: rsync -azxhvr --progress --bwlimit=100 --rsh='ssh' 192.168.0.2:/mnt/Data/FILES/WORK/WORK /mnt/Data/FILES/FILES/WORK/WORK but its putting all the contents from the source WORK but making a new folder in the destination, called WORK. so now im getting WORK/WORK/WORK rather than just WORK/WORK any ideas please? I thought leaving off the / from the desintation folder shouldave fixed it.. [10:07] Now, the dpkg is in the list of processes, uninterruptible, and forbidding anything from locking the install process. [10:07] noonian: technically speaking, there's "headphones" written right next to the "Master" but I can't control the volume [10:07] ZyreX? then in Update Manager must be the control - "Upgrade" ( [10:07] well, would anyone show me that bloody output from `dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw` ?? [10:08] Anyone here using nvidia-propreitry drivers on 10.10 that hasn't manually modified their xorg.conf? Can you pastebin and send my way please. woudl really help [10:08] SergeyIT, i know, but it doesnt anything about the dist. I used that when i updated to 10.04, but now when im trying to update to 10.10, it just doesnt show anything [10:09] jerk, using the arrow keys you cant? [10:10] nettezzaumana: I just typed it as you sent it dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw and that's what I got from my term but with just lshw I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/543985/ [10:10] anyway , SergeyIT, im using that command that rs0832 told me..so , thanks anyway [10:10] hey there. Got a question. I use backtrack 4 r2 and tried to update the ati drivers. They didn't seem to work propably so i deletet them. But now my screensaver configuration in kde3 show me the error: libGL.so.1 cannot open shared files. I think it was overwriten. how can i get the old one back? [10:10] nuttso: we don't support backtrack in here, you probably want #backtrack-linux [10:10] sacarlson: no .. uff [10:11] sacarlson: i didn't .. please retype with full path [10:11] ZyreX? it's a bug, may be. I use the LTS versions only [10:11] sacarlson: thanks btw [10:11] [Lucid] I sent my Thinkpad T42 to hibernate. When I woke it up '~$ route' was empty and I had to run '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' in order to get ADSL Internet access. Why does this computer not establish automatically Internet access as it did in the past? [10:11] thcx popey [10:11] sacarlson: if your paste is accurate you typed `dpkg -S lshw` [10:12] which is not what i want cuz i need `dpkg -S /usr/bin/lshw` [10:12] i only need to know which package deploys that file [10:12] * korben greets all [10:12] Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf?

[10:18] sacarlson: thanks again and no problem .. i just downloaded it manually and now hacking out [10:18] FDE needs alternate [10:20] does anyone know how to update from behind a firewall? [10:20] netbook does support encrypted user directories, so depending on your security requirements that may also be an option.

[10:22] Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf? [10:22] taran: there is no obvious relation between the two, can you explain the problem you are experiencing [10:22] ! [10:23] ITM! [10:23] K tha ms acicula [10:23] Grr thanks hate iPhone sometimes [10:23] acicula: shall i post the screenshot? [10:24] taran: anything that explains your problem would be usefull [10:24] err describes [10:26] taran: as long as port 80 (same as your browser) works then you should be able to update with synaptic or apt-get [10:26] noonian: sorry for the late reply..... yeah I can't control the headphone vol in alsamixer using arrow keys [10:26] acicula: I got this message "Requires installation of untrusted packages The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [10:27] Umm... I am in the middle of a distro upgrade to 10.10 [10:27] and it just stoppped [10:27] at "removing all DKMS Modules" [10:27] Is there a way to restart the proccess? [10:28] taran: thats not a firewall issue, that either means you need to try another mirror and or run check for updates again, or that you added a repository without adding the signing key for that repository [10:28] tokyomission: apt-get install -f [10:28] @AdvoWork you could use "trickle -d 80", that would limit the connection to 80Kb/s [10:28] i just installed ubuntu-netbook and i want to change to normal ubuntu. how do i install ubuntu and get rid of u-netbook afterwards without a new install? i installed ubuntu-desktop via synaptic so far... [10:28] taran: sounds like maybe a keyring problem something like this http://fplanque.com/dev/linux/debian-apt-get-missing-keys [10:29] nicofs: think there is only a few packages specific to the netbook version, youd have to compare the two profiles against each other to find out which ones [10:29] twitch: says it is locked [10:29] acicula: how/where could i compare them? [10:29] tokyomission: means you are running apt already or update manager or symn [10:29] sacarlson: I will check up n report [10:30] synap* [10:30] nicofs: not a clue [10:30] I am running the distro upgrade currently [10:30] but it just stoped [10:30] at around 50% [10:31] acicula: coul it be somewhere in the session settings? [10:31] and isn't letting me do anything [10:31] did you lcose all the windows? [10:31] close [10:31] all bu xchat [10:31] and I can [10:31] taran: also take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1600704 [10:31] 't close the "Distribution Upgrade" window [10:31] nicofs, ubuntu-desktop is the package you want. If you have a terminal handy, type in "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [10:32] the close is disabled [10:32] TeslaTony: that's what i did so far... but how do i rid myself of ubuntu-netbook afterwards? [10:32] Hello! [10:32] tokyomission: the update hasn't finbshed if it errored .. so if you know how to use ps aux .. kill all processes attached to apt .. or just reboot then try apt-get install -f [10:32] I can do ctrl-c but it says"This will abort the operation and may leave the system in a broken state." [10:32] Does anyone know if you can force install of packages in specific dirs? [10:33] nicofs, That's a tad trickier. You can take a look at the dependencies of the ubuntu-netbook package, and uninstall the ones you don't want, but it isn't very clean [10:33] hi, guys === ditha is now known as Ditha [10:33] Deiu: never heard of that but you can search a file to find what package it comes from, if you want to scan each in the dir I guess it could be done [10:34] TeslaTony: that's not the problem... i fear that after rebooting i will still get into the netbook-look... [10:34] hey guys [10:34] Anyone here on nvidia-proprietry on 10.10 and haven't manually modified their xorg.conf? [10:34] how can I adjust the microphone input volume with C++ ?

[10:52] * i8degrees almost wonders why he is still using Ubuntu; my install is so customized that it bares little resemblance [10:53] twitch: i uninstalled nvidia-common, rebooted, reinstalled/activate, rebooted, ran /usr/lib/nvidia-common/bin/nvidia-xconfig, rebooted, ubuntu failed ot pass ubuntu logo, deleted conf file and now i'm back to default nvidia drivers instead of proprietry [10:53] AdvoWork: do any other bootable CDs/DVDs boot OK in that drive? [10:53] twitch: so now i'm looking for the xorg.conf that you get when you first install nvidia proprietry - i'll copy it in there and hopefully it'll work [10:53] Can i change the session settings somewhere vie console/editor? [10:53] *via [10:54] ectospasm, just going to try that now, i may just install an old version and upgrade, same thing right?

[10:55] AdvoWork: may want to try 10.04, since upgrading may not work as planned [10:55] nicofs: see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man8/gdm.8.html for a partial answer to your question.

[10:58] nicofs: the man page bullgard linked you to is your best bet for those two specifics === crallion is now known as alabackern [10:58] hey whats meego?? [10:58] ectospasm, yeah but the ubuntu site doesnt mention burning to dvd, only cd, so could that be the prob? [10:59] nicofs: the sessions are found within /usr/share/xsessions [10:59] AdvoWork: is there a separate DVD ISO? If not, it probably doesn't work because you've used a DVD [10:59] nicofs: but regardless, you most definitely should refer to above stated man page for gdm :-) [11:00] i8degrees: i'll look into that as soon as i'm done with removing al the unnessesary packets that came with ubuntu...

Why do you want to apply a patch? [11:25] jayden: oh, so the indicator just shows which player is active? i thought i need to change somewhere [11:25] jrib: Ubuntu has got a bug with my iMac's fans, they go full power all the time [11:26] I think its up to the player to support the feature, though I'm not 100% sure Sandking, check if your player has any plugins avaliable or ask on their forums [11:26] Redcoil: you understand you probably have to apply the patch to some source code and rebuild a package right? [11:26] jrir Oh dear. [11:27] hm. [11:28] jrib I've also a script which I must run as 'sudo', back in OS X I'd do that by simple entering its name but that doesn't work here, how can I run the script sudo from the terminal? [11:29] Redcoil: sudo « how you would normally run the script here ». You have to be more specific if that doesn't work [11:29] jrib How can I run a script from the terminal? [11:30] ugh [11:30] Redcoil: make sure it's executable and type its path [11:30] Drag and drop works, nevermind === shentino_ is now known as Shentino [11:30] I cd'd to the directory before and then tried to run it :s [11:30] Redcoil: that works too. Use ./NAME_OF_SCRIPT since . isn't in your PATH [11:31] join #ubuntu [11:32] :S [11:32] meh. === billy is now known as billybutnothteki [11:34] jrib Also, to rephrase that before, applying a patch is lots of hassle? [11:36] Redcoil: not really, it's rebuilding a source package with a command or two in between [11:36] !source | Redcoil [11:36] Redcoil: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [11:37] jrib But for the patch to run, I must apply it to 10.10's source code and reinstall? Sorry for my noobiness :/ [11:38] . [11:38] Redcoil: you must apply it to the source package containing whatever files the patch is for [11:38] Redcoil: and then install the resulting package you build, yes [11:38] jrib: I see. [11:39] I've guitar(acoustic) connected to PC's audio-in ports using normal method. Which package can help me record guitar? [11:39] jrib, now, if I must apply windfarm-pm121.patch to some Linux 2.6.24 source, I'd have to "sudo apt-get source linux" or something like that? [11:39] anything that can handle audio imports?

But you should have backups anyway just in case [11:45] phox_: its relatively easy [11:46] plokij and jrib: How will this look graphiclly everytime I boot up the system? [11:46] jrib, could I apply that patch using the update manager? [11:46] what about ubuntu 10.04LTS? [11:46] phox, google this: Burg [11:46] phox_: it will just be a text based interface [11:47] phox_: but like jayden suggested there is a graphical solution [11:47] Redcoil: no, unless the patch has been applied by someone else and put in the repository. Why do you think you need this patch? What's the bug number? [11:47] plokij: will the interface be "from" ubuntu or windows? Don't know it it works that way, but I hope you know what i mean [11:47] http://www.stadt-burg.de/cms/ [11:47] jrib: yeah burg looks cool [11:47] is there a way to sync an iphone 4 using ubuntu 10.10?

[11:57] jrib, but a quick google confirms that other iMac owners have got similar problems, and installing that patch is recommended on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5iSight?action=show&redirect=iMacG5revC [11:57] jrib, so I'd say it's known [11:58] Redcoil: the point is the first thing you should do is check if the patch hasn't been applied already or superceded by some other patch... [11:59] is xorg.conf even used anymore? [11:59] jayden: not really, though some hardware does require it to work, but the majority is now depracated [12:00] plokij, so if I want to turn off mouse acceleration, xorg.conf isn't the way to go? [12:00] jayden: i can't confirm, but you can try if you really need that [12:01] thanks [12:01] any magic mouse users here? [12:01] i'm looking for a silent mouse and this looks like best option [12:02] So I used put in my usb-memory at 16GB and ubuntu says it only has 3Gb. What the heck? Have never seen this before.

[12:44] Emanon: i dunno, the alt. cd has never worked for me from USB.. ever [12:45] yea i could always toss it on a usb before and run fine now it does what it apparently had been doing to you all along [12:45] Last_Biscuit: I run 10.04 and it works out of the box but my ralink is not the same chip as yours [12:45] Emanon: well, use the live USB, or boot a CD.. it'll work fine. [12:45] Last_Biscuit: you fix is one small text change in one small file [12:46] barbarhaq: du -sh . more reliable [12:46] well the live usb sucks or i would use it (no encryption or raid support) [12:46] guess im digging out a dvd [12:46] sacarlson, let me update the setup, right now i have connected the dongle with desktop, now as ubuntu boot up, i have a window Enter Password to unlock your login keyring [12:46] you having trouble with a ralink wifi dongle? [12:47] sacarlson, can u tell me that small text ? and how can i change it [12:47] Last_Biscuit: it is stated in the link but I can look [12:47] Emanon: i think most of the ralinks have kernel support now(or the last few I've tried anyway) === alyx is now known as Guest72226 [12:47] oh mine works fine after some terminal work [12:48] sacarlson, i have provided the password, and network is connected now, 100% signal strength but no internet no access to router [12:48] sacarlson, the link u provided earlier ?

[13:21] PaulDeva: just install ubuntu (not the windows installer) It should overwrite and fix the mbr [13:21] they probably muffed up the wubi installer your windows disk may restore your mbr (i think mandriva has something to do the same) i assume there is a utility for ubuntu to do it though i dont know it [13:22] sacarlson, where are you :D [13:22] how can i switch between users [13:22] the only decent installer they "had" was the alternate and they just made that inaccessible to anyone without an optical drive [13:22] sacarlson, its working on 9.10 i am so happy :D thank you so so so much .. i hope this thing work on 10.4 as well ..

[13:29] whats your favorite torrent program [13:29] tristan3199us2: sources like source-code or sources like source for torrents? [13:30] sources for torrents [13:30] tristan3199us2: i guess my favorite was rtorrent because it does not have a gui [13:30] tristan3199us2: the sources came from the torrent file (tracker) [13:31] i never used a torrent program without a gui.. whats the benifit of not having a gui.. [13:32] hi all. i'm just learning some basics about monit. i learned that i can tell monit to run every 60 seconds by using this command: "monit -d 60 -c /etc/monit/monitrc" however, after a reboot monit starts (as i set startup=1) but doesnt monitor anything.

[13:35] hows opera.. im new to linux.. used utorrent before. [13:35] tristan3199us2: If you are looking for something utorrent-like, then you want Deluge, I suppose. [13:36] tristan3199us2: Also, Applications --> Internet --> Transmission. Transmission is torrent client. [13:37] rigved, thanks [13:37] are all torrent clients the same in how fast they download.. i want something that has a good number of max global connections and upload download slots already configured for wireless speeds..

[13:40] mbrochh: you can add the command to the already existing file or make this file start your file which has the command [13:40] rigved, ok i will try that, thanks again [13:42] can i get is deluge for servers?? [13:43] sorry.. === TheBrandon is now known as VaJJ [13:44] For servers? Use rtorrent, deluged / deluge-console, or transmission-daemon / transmission-cli. You always can switch to different if you dislike them. [13:44] thanks... will do.. [13:44] whats vuse.. [13:45] i know its related but something different about it.. is it a media player too??

[13:50] Hello I have a quick question about netbook edition: I have a 64 bit netbook and I'd like to be able to use a 64 bit version, but I don't see an x64 netbook ( go figure, I think my proccessor is the only 64 bit atom ). Is there a reason I should use netbook instead of desktop x64? [13:50] don't see an x64 netbook edition* [13:50] Varista`nb: you could use just desktop edition and install unity after installing [13:51] unity is what? [13:51] something for netbooks? [13:51] Varista`nb: install desktop edition [13:51] Varista`nb: The desktop interface that you would get if you installed the netbook edition. Everything else is the same as the desktop install. [13:51] * Varista`nb scratches his head [13:51] hi, has anyone here had problem with USB driver in maverick ? [13:52] Pici: you mean it's something to interface my netbook with a desktop? [13:52] Varista`nb: it's the GUI shell based on openGL [13:52] oh okay. [13:53] could someone help me with netem: Want to setup an emulated network with high latency, low bandwidth, 1% packet losses and some packet re-ordering [13:53] Varista`nb: Er, no. I mean graphical interface. Like how you interact with your windows and icons and whatnot. [13:53] right, right sorry. [13:53] hi [13:54] Will I be able to install desktop and use it to install unity or do I need to manually install unity somehow because it won't have an interface?

[13:56] Varista`nb: you will have a normal GUI as it's available for desktops. but unity is specially designed for netbooks' small screens and low processor and memory. if you want this then install it otherwise it'll still work as it is [13:56] I have been using ubuntu for awhile on a deaktop. I can't get pasted the first screen when loading either USB or CD disk [13:56] i have graphical SIS 771 on ubuntu 10.04, system sleep, when wake up, screen no go. [13:56] rigved: oh okay, thanks.

For some reason i was adviced to take it instead of the normal one. Is there a good guide anywhere? I have amd 32 bits. [14:28] seul, just burn the alternative install disc and install just like you normally would [14:28] i'm close, i just can't get it to function [14:28] thanks, ActionParsnip. [14:29] hey guys, can anyone tell me how to hide my ip in here ? //mode $me +x doesnt work.... any other ideas ? [14:29] Ub3r-N00b: Ask in #freenode for a cloak. [14:29] gamerpro2000: i have done that and im in the installation thing now. Its just that i dont know which options to take when partition stuff. I have a free partition that i made earlier in windows, but i dont know how to choose it. You know any good guide? [14:29] Pici: thanks [14:29] is this the wrong channel to ask for code help? [14:31] tge101: ask in the channel for the language you are coding in [14:31] if I'm running Ubuntu on a Xen VM, is there any specific kernel version I should be running? some docs seem to suggest -server is OK, but the package description for -virtual seems appealing [14:31] seul: the alternate installs in text mode but gives a desktop OS [14:31] seul: it`s exactly the same as the shiny installer, without the shininess, use arrow keys to move, space (I think) to select (could be Enter) and Tab to move between the different boxes. [14:31] jkg: do you want a GUI with mouse interaction?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:53] what fonts should i select as there are so many Hindi fonts [14:53] sosaited: you're welcome :) Enjoy using Ubuntu! [14:54] itaylor57,I lok for a good pc card [14:54] cdbs, Actually I have been using it for a while (Karmic, Lucid and Maverick), but installing on someone else's laptop, Already got Xubuntu 9.10 on it as its ram was 256mb,but now I upgraded it to 512mb for Ubuntu [14:54] induz: i don't know as i have not tried it myself. use any you like. or ask in #ubuntu-in [14:55] sosaited: oh [14:55] Thanks rigved [14:55] Can anyone tell me what distiguishes a 64bit install from a 32bit one? Different apt sources? A Flag in a file, or how do they differ? [14:55] induz: you are welcome. :) [14:55] IsoLnCHiP: The binaries on the 64 bit installed are compiled for a 64 bit system. [14:55] cdbs, BTW is KDE better or Gnome for slower processors and ram? [14:55] Does anyone know good pc card that work wwith ubuntu i [14:56] sosaited: I am not very sure, but I think GNOME [14:56] IsoLnCHiP: you can check your version from the System Monitor, in case that's what you are looking for [14:56] cdbs, Hmm. THanks., I'll try lucid and hopefully it will be fine [14:56] this room a joke [14:57] Pici, well, obviously, I meant how can I tell, that its a 64bit system ;) [14:57] Pici, Hmm, ok, I see neither 32 nor 64 meantioned in sysmon [14:57] IsoLnCHiP: uname -a in a terminal [14:57] IsoLnCHiP: uname -m [14:58] hl [14:58] test [14:58] IsoLnCHiP: i686=32 x86_64 = 64 bit! [14:58] RIght, ok x86_64 kernel. Is it enought to install a ix86 kernel to switch my system to 32 bit, or do I need to do more than that? [14:59] IsoLnCHiP: no, that won't suffice [14:59] IsoLnCHiP: the whole system binaries are in one bitset, so you need to re-install [14:59] IsoLnCHiP: you can run 32 bit programs on 64 bit.. [14:59] IsoLnCHiP: reinstall [14:59] Hello everyone [14:59] Can anyone help me with this crackling sound problem? Adding "apm=on" and "acpi=off" at the begining of /etc/default/grub doesn't make any difference. I had no trouble with DSL (Damn Small Linux) and someone told me that it uses Opensound. Can anyone help me get Opensound on Ubuntu? [15:00] IsoLnCHiP: if its just a few programs that are causing issues.. [15:00] Keyboardx86, hi, you're welcome [15:00] anyone familiar with xmlrpc using c++ ? [15:00] Ok, any clever ideas how to make the reinstall as painless as possible? As in keep all settings. [15:00] hi [15:00] IsoLnCHiP: why do you want 32bit? [15:01] saliak: maybe ##c++ [15:01] anyone have any ideas why I'm seeing processes getting stuck waiting for IO, and my system becoming unresponsive, and the following logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544055/ on a Xen VM running Lucid? current kernel is Linux nephos 2.6.32-21-server #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:17:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:01] !aptoncd > IsoLnCHiP [15:01] IsoLnCHiP, please see my private message [15:01] rigved : duh. sorry, that makes a lot of sense [15:01] jrib, Because I assume vbox cant boot 64bit, and I want to be able to use my ubuntu either directly or from win7 in a vbox [15:02] rigved : boo. the channel seems to be screwed up. no ops and can't send to it [15:02] IsoLnCHiP: yes vbox can boot 64 bit even on a 32bit host os! [15:02] IsoLnCHiP: pretty sure vbox can run 64bit. Ask #vbox [15:02] AbhiJit, Does it also have an option to save and restore settings? [15:02] IsoLnCHiP: I run 64 bit vbox on kubuntu [15:02] IsoLnCHiP, no [15:03] saliak: are you sure that you have registered your nick? [15:03] IsoLnCHiP: aptoncd is of no use if you want to switch to 32 bit [15:03] as the 64 bit packages wont run on 32 bit.. [15:03] bonjoyee, So I keep reading, yes, but when I boot grub in vbox it complains about the cpu beein i686 rather than x86_64 ;) [15:04] !clone | bonjoyee [15:04] bonjoyee: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:04] IsoLnCHiP, to run 64 bit os in vbox your cpu must support 64 bit virtualization [15:04] err [15:04] IsoLnCHiP: your CPU should support VT to run x64 [15:04] !clone > IsoLnCHiP [15:04] IsoLnCHiP, please see my private message [15:04] IsoLnCHiP: That method works, but aptoncd won't work if you are moving to 32-bit from 64 [15:05] AbhiJit, It does, I specifically bought a CPU to that end. It has full hardware virtualisation support [15:05] i need to disable the ctrl+f1 hotkey for xserver, i've disabled vt switch but i think the system i still catching it. [15:05] IsoLnCHiP: check if VT is enabled in BIOS [15:05] ok [15:05] is there something else i should do to unbind they key combo? [15:06] i didnt see it anywhere in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts [15:06] hello, i´m running ubuntu server 10.4. how can i add a init script to start a service automatically? if I run "update-rc.d servicename enable" i´m getting:nrpe start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5), but i set thos runlevels [15:06] bonjoyee, according to the vmware 64 guest check tool everything is set correctly [15:07] IsoLnCHiP:then check if VT is enabled in Vbox ..theres an option there as well [15:08] bonjoyee, Im preatty sure I set the option there too, but I will double check again when I reboot to windows [15:08] IsoLnCHiP: also what version of vbox? latest is 3.2.12!! [15:08] tmade: add the script to /etc/init.d/ then you can set it to run [15:08] my script in "/etc/init.d/service" works perfect as i want [15:08] bonjoyee, If I recall correctly I tryed with 3.2.10 and 12 both with the same result [15:09] citrix xenclient uses the same key combo to send "ctr+alt+del" [15:09] cdbs, Thanks for the pointer to cloneing, that looks promising [15:09] tmade: you should migrate to upstart [15:09] rigved: i´ve already done...but what to do to make it start on system boot? [15:09] jrib: there´s another way? [15:10] IsoLnCHiP: but that would mean that all the packages would be downloaded again when you would run the second command [15:10] IsoLnCHiP: that's the only way, since you can't use 64-bit packages on 32-bit [15:10] Hey ther [15:10] tmade:how about adding entry in /etc/rc.local [15:10] cdbs, shouldnt be a problem, got a caching proxy :) [15:10] tmade: well ubuntu has moved to upstart. the sysv-init scripts will still work but the new way is upstart. If you don't want to use upstart for some reason, read « man update-rc.d ». Look for the line with "defaults" in it [15:11] has there any other application like Miro for ubuntu? [15:11] IsoLnCHiP: for 32 bit as well? [15:11] Can anyone help me: I'm searching someone to help me with a port forwarding problem [15:11] !ask [15:11] 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. :-) [15:11] bonjoyee, might be a bit outdated, but I have other boxes in my net running on 32, so most packages might be there. [15:12] bonjoyee: does a script located in /etc/rc.local start automatically? [15:12] pitchzer0: seen http://portforward.com/ ? === michele is now known as energydrink === energydrink is now known as energydrink9 [15:12] tmade: not sure. read jrib ^^. or you could just add the script to cron.daily.. that way it will run almost at start up [15:12] popey: Yes but it didnt solve my problem [15:12] pitchzer0: aska away, keep in mind that most networking stuff can also be answered in #networking [15:12] tmade: you have to add "/etc/init.d/service start" to rc.local..then it does [15:13] i was searching for such a chan thanks! [15:13] Goodbye folks! [15:13] bonjoyee, tmade: no that's not proper at all [15:13] pitchzer0: npr [15:13] somebody has a good basic "upstart" script as an example? [15:13] !upstart | tmade [15:13] tmade: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:13] I think before I start the whole procedure Ill check the #vbox if they have an Idea what I might be missing, but thanks for the advice this far, atleast now I know I would have to reinstall, and have a slightly more comfortable way of doing it. [15:13] has there any other application like ''Miro'' for ubuntu? [15:13] tmade: but yes update-rc.d is the proper way.. [15:15] simon34: miro seems to be usable in ubuntu? [15:15] bonjoyee: i´ve tried now several scripts to add like "update-rc.d servicename enable" ...each script works executed manually...but none on startup [15:15] tmade: not all services are yet moved to upstart..so ones in /etc/init.d/ will work.. [15:15] how do i remove a directory which is NOT empty? [15:15] ServerTechLaptop: rm -r [15:15] ty [15:15] tmade: use upstart [15:15] question: what os are most web servers using?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:16] tmade: did u configure the run levels properly?also is your service dependent on some other service? [15:16] rigved: big deal to convert my own script as upstart? [15:16] and I mean big companies [15:16] NotAnonymous: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/ [15:16] bonjoyee: no, doesn´t depent on another [15:17] thanks [15:17] tmade: no it's simple. check the Getting Started page on the website [15:17] rigved: so i can easily convert my init script to upstart? [15:18] ya [15:18] has there any other application like ''Miro'' for ubuntu? [15:18] tmade: yes. [15:18] ok..so i´ll try [15:19] thanks! [15:20] simon34:xbmc?

[15:36] NeoCicak: try sudo nvidia-xconfig [15:37] i did [15:37] and my xorg.conf is the one from nvidia-xconfig [15:37] it might be picking up his existing xorg file [15:37] or at least the earlier one [15:37] that will gave me that "error no screens" error mesage [15:37] hence moving the file away and re-doing it [15:37] so i had to delete xorg.conf to be able to get back to gnome [15:38] NeoCicak: can you turn off the other video card -- I presume it's onboard -- from the bios?

[15:40] pseubodot: oh... i've also tried to install the driver from NVIDIA... no success either [15:40] chull: the installer gives you the option to choose drives [15:40] NeoCicak: and just move the xorg.conf file to xorg.conf.bak and restart your system , this might help you [15:40] NeoCicak: don't do that -- use the distribution method [15:41] crickj, hmmm it didn't, do i need to set boot from cd in the bios? [15:41] NeoCicak: other people have already figured out the pitfalls, you don't want to do that [15:41] chull: boot into live cd and find out the names like /sda/... etc. then select it from the manual partition editor while installing [15:41] chull: you mean the cd won't boot? [15:41] pseubodot: do i need to uninstall the driver from NVIDIA? if so... how can i do it? [15:41] crickj, yes it asks about file lists and says it can't initialize [15:41] chull: or disconnect the other drives if posible [15:42] and install ubuntu on the correct one...the safest bet [15:42] NeoCicak: the installer has a remove option [15:42] NeoCicak: as I recall [15:42] chull: if the cd won't boot properly then it could be corrupt [15:42] bonjoyee, ok thanks :) thank you crickj rigved [15:43] hello [15:43] I have a problem getting an internet connection when I tether ubuntu to my cell phone [15:43] it works fine with windows [15:44] pseubodot: ok.... i might have to logout to uninstall the driver [15:44] crickj, h [15:44] liminal: Which phone? === mohammad is now known as Guest93487 [15:44] crickj, how does one check the checksum?

[16:28] mouka there are utilities to see what your CPU core temps are from the repos, try using that and see if it's a reasonable temp [16:28] SubZero__: Perhaps check out http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html#RANDSTRING for ideas [16:28] dnivra: npr, thx anyway [16:28] ne7work, '.' is an alias for the current working directory. so if your current working directory is /home/ne7work/hlds, then it's enough to just do './hlds_run'. [16:28] Last week I had notification from update-manager that Chromium Browser had critical updates but the updated package was not available in the repo I was using.

[17:37] sacarlson: ok, guess problems are related to me moving /home to a different place and just symlinking to the new... [17:37] jarle: yes that could cause such a problem since the symlink location has the same restrictions at the point it links to [17:37] dyn: Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts and check the window management section === macsmister is now known as macsmister|work === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan [17:39] jarle: I have spend 2 days on almost the same problem so don't feel bad, I thought I knew all about the security of linux but they added this new layer [17:40] crickj: YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!

[18:04] I'm working on a similar integration and I'll like to know how it's done :) [18:04] dajhorn: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544114/ [18:05] If I install xfce4 on top of a standard ubuntu install, will it xfce run any slower than it would if it was the only install [18:05] dajhorn: running strace on apt-get update shows a lot of "no such file" for gpg stuff [18:05] Sub_Zero: install in /usr/share/themes/ where it belongs [18:05] ...ed desktop environment [18:05] alterego: I guess the header of the file has some info that is read to tell what codec is needed to play it or view it [18:05] dajhorn: /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_Release.gpg [18:05] etc [18:05] dajhorn: is that normal? [18:05] erUSUL I tried that but it didn't appear in the themes tab along with the others [18:05] nemo: Run `sudo apt-get clean` and try again. Don't force anything if APT is complaining about the ftpmaster@ubuntu.com key. [18:06] sacarlson: that's sort of what I was thinking. [18:06] alterego: there must be libs that have been already been written that can do that for you [18:06] dajhorn: still errors [18:06] Sub_Zero: maybe you missed some essential step? look how other themes are packaged ( package human-theme for instance ) [18:06] sacarlson: egain, exactly what I was thinking ;) [18:06] ubuntu, kubuntu and a lot of other linuxes have cool feature: RECORD OF SCREEN VIDEO! :)) you know if you press key PrintScreen you will make screenshot. and you will see save dialog. well, if you press Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen-B you will start to make video. (b is begin). and if you press Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen-E video will stop. (e is end). and you will see save dialog with many formats (avi, mp4, etc). so, try it! press Ctrl-Alt- [18:06] PrintScreen-B [18:06] nemo: Try a different mirror. Substitute us.archive for ca.archive, and then revert later. [18:07] dajhorn: m'k. although that presumably won't help the others [18:07] alterego: well if no one tells you best thing to do is look at the source code of a program that you know can do this check and find out how it does it [18:07] nemo: No. BTW, us.archive.ubuntu.com is working properly for me right now. [18:07] dajhorn: btw. there are 5 gpg files under /var/lib/apt/lists - fingerprint-gui, ubuntu audio team, maverick securit and maverick updates [18:07] hi, does anyone know about using https://ts3.flightplanningonline.co.uk/ with ubuntu maverick. It worked fine in earlier versions but now all that happens is it asks me if I want to open the app with java webstart, I say yes, it downloads a .xjnlp file and does nothing more?! [18:07] dajhorn: presumably the contents of security.ubuntu.com should match yours? if I ran an md5sum? [18:08] sacarlson: yeah, doing that now ;) [18:08] nemo: a66d95d5fd3e4891e0731c04622239ca *./security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg [18:09] alterego: never herts to ask you might find someone with a better answer [18:09] KM0201 and red2kic - just an FYI for the windows partition install issue I was having. Apparently, the "Alternate Installer" still has the "use the largest contiguous free space" option for guided partitioning. So, I'm good to go, though it's annoying it's been removed from the Live CD installer. [18:09] dajhorn: 'cause that'd be b40c4d1b28a7c6bdd5ed4e084710122a for security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_Release.gpg [18:09] nemo: We have different GPG files. [18:09] hello everyone, i've got a problem upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 and I hope someone can help! My laptop froze while upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and now when I start the OS it says files are missing and freezes on the login screen. What shoul I do? [18:10] dajhorn: http://m8y.org/tmp/gpg/ - all my gpg files [18:10] Lazyvee: I would backup personal data and install 10.10 from scratch [18:10] dajhorn: hm. this is moderately worrying... [18:11] anyone having a OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2? [18:11] nemo: I can't click that link. Download the file manually and compare it: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg [18:12] m'k [18:12] I just need help updating my netbook from Xubuntu to Ubuntu Netbook. I've already run the update, I just can't seem to get Xubuntu off of here. [18:12] crickj: alright, seems simpler than I thought :-) thanks [18:12] hello, I have a problem: on my ubuntu-server, DNS lookups are dead slow. I have had that trouble on ubuntu desktops, and I have fixed it by disabling ipv6. I disabled ipv6 on the server too though, but it doesn't help. Any ideas? [18:12] Lazyvee, what's the problem? sometimes i'll recomend reinstall when it was something simple [18:12] dajhorn: they are indeed different [18:13] Am I muted or just crazy? Haha [18:13] nemo: Okay, you indeed have a problem. [18:13] anyone having an OCZ Revodrive or OCZ Revodrive X2? [18:13] dajhorn: 34 chars of the sig are identical. then it changes. [18:13] nemo: Is APT downloading things through a proxy? [18:13] nemo: Do you have any other PPA installed other than TualatriX? [18:14] dajhorn: audio team, tualatrix, fingerprint gui [18:14] !grub [18:14] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [18:14] goltoof: I don't know what's wrong, but I will just install from scratch, that's much simpler [18:14] hi gyus [18:14] arox, upgrading from Xubuntu to Ubuntu could be strange. You may want to back up your data and start fresh with Ubuntu. [18:14] DexterLB: well the tool for dns is dig, you also need to look at what you have setup for you dns server by looking at /etc/resolv.conf you can replace what your ISP gives you with your own bind9 server or you could look at opendns.com [18:15] What do these commands do? "Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o " "Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update " "Acquire::http::Max-Age "0"" [18:15] dajhorn: all the gpg files have recent time stamps. would that be normal? [18:15] nirazio: Disables the caching features of apt. [18:15] dajhorn: 2010-12-13 for all but fingerprint-gui, 2010-12-11 for fingerprint-gui [18:15] nemo: Yes, but the GPG files shouldn't be different than the files on the Ubuntu server. [18:15] jpds: All those three commands?? [18:15] Actually the DNS-server Google offers turned out to be working quite well for me (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) - easy to remember too... :) [18:15] someone can suggest me some good screecast software? [18:16] thanks for helping! see you later with more questions haha [18:16] nemo: I would make a backup of anything that you care about. This is problem that Should Never Happen. [18:16] sacarlson: in resolv i have the default gateway set as nameserver, but nslookup does the lookup instantly so the problem is not with the network [18:16] wget lynx etc though take about 30sec to do a dns lookup [18:16] Nixiepixel lately did a review of an advanced screencasting-tool on www.youtube.com/nixiedoeslinux [18:16] sacarlson: will try dig now [18:16] dajhorn: there isn't too much I care about. you'd suggest a clean install? [18:17] nemo: Yup. And be watchful about PPAs. If you intend to reinstall, then try ppa-purge first. [18:17] yep, dig does dns lookup for 84milliseconds, however wget takes 38sec [18:18] DexterLB: with dig you can compare performance of what your ISP gives you and others like opendns.com or ? [18:18] sacarlson: german? [18:18] sacarlson: dns lookups themselves are ok [18:18] dig does them fast [18:18] jpds: what abt this Acquire::http::Max-Age "0" [18:18] but all the rest of software do them slow [18:19] DexterLB: a simple test is to ping google.com and see how fast it resolves the ip number before it pings, no I don't speak german [18:19] nirazio: Max time to keep packages around for. [18:19] Hm. I'm trying to use my USB flash drive to boot it, but it's not reading my drive [18:20] I'm trying to get this app to work in ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/V3QxinS3 is there any reason why it doesn't work in Maverick when it worked in previous versions? Need a Java webapp expert please [18:20] When i put it in, it says "according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on" [18:20] arox, does your bios support booting from a usb? [18:20] DexterLB: if ping does it fast, how did you isolate that the problem is DNS then? [18:20] Yeah, I already booted Xubuntu onto it and cleared out that crappy Win7 Starter. [18:20] It's an Acer Aspire One, running Xubuntu 10.10 right now but I'd prefer Ubuntu Netbook. [18:21] sacarlson: well, ping does it instantly but wget sticks on Resolving google.com... for 30sec or so [18:21] arox: is the problem with grub or ubuntu? [18:21] jpds: And last one Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update ??? [18:21] rothchild, do yhou have icedtea or sun java installed? [18:21] The main problem is that I installed Ubuntu netbook but it's still booting xubuntu [18:21] @coz sun (I think) just double checking [18:21] DexterLB: well internet speed is never the same, try change the /etc/resolv.conf and see if it improves or gets worse [18:22] rothchild, open synaptic package manager hit Search and type in icedtea [18:22] arox, when you go to log in , look at the bottom and see if you can change desktops. [18:22] Ok brb. [18:22] nirazio: No idea, sorry, it's not mentioned in 'man apt.conf' [18:23] I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this? [18:23] coz_ yes icedtea is installed [18:23] rothchild, ok now in synaptic... hit Settings then repositories [18:23] speaking of java....coffee..:D [18:23] coz_ do I need medibuntu? [18:24] rothchild, not for java applications no [18:24] I have it already (sorry if I'm jumping ahead) [18:24] im looking for a script to perform unattended upgrade from 9.x to 10.10, i have 25 laptops to upgrade [18:24] rothchild, now when that dialog opes click the "Other software " tab [18:24] Hello [18:24] rothchild, make sure the partner repos are enabled then close that and hit the "Reload" button tell me when that is finished [18:25] It worked. :] [18:25] package 'rhyme' was in dapper, hardy, karmic, now its gone, why? [18:25] Thank you, i_is_broke. :] [18:25] coz_ is done [18:26] sacarlson: hmm, also disabling ipv6 in kernel parameters fixed it [18:26] rothchild, ok now hit Search and type in sun java and install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pulll down the needed stuff but dont install yet [18:26] Now I just have to get my regular laptop to work and I'll be set. [18:26] arox, yw [18:26] smallfoot-: According to LP, its dead upstream. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhyme/+publishinghistory [18:26] coz_ yes I can see packages returned by search [18:27] Hello folks [18:27] rothchild, after ticking sun java plugin hit Search again and type in icedtea and right click ALL of the packages listed there for complete removal [18:27] Anybody know why when I boot regular Ubuntu on my Dell it's saying something about Busybox and initramfs and udevd failed while handling.. [18:27] but its still useful [18:27] DexterLB: my isp doesn't support ipv6, does 10.10 use a ipv6 tunnel setup now? [18:27] was useful for me [18:27] I can type verbatim what it's saying but it's saying input/output error, mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed. [18:27] 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path. 10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path. if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present. what changed from 8 to 10? [18:27] hello [18:28] I searched it and tried a suggestion to run a chkdsk on c: through Windows then restart, but it didn't work. [18:28] Hey guys, an idea just came to my mind. When reinstalling Ubuntu, we need to install/remove specific packages, make changes to wallpapers, settings and so on, add PPAs of our favourite packages and such to customize it as it was. Now, can we just make a bash script or so to automate the process? [18:28] coz_ ok, can I pull the trigger? ;-) [18:28] rothchild, yep once the icedtea package are all ready to uninstall go for it [18:28] why ubuntu software center start slow? [18:28] DexterLB: I setup an total ipv6 local network and found it almost imposble to support windows without ipv4 but ubuntu is ready [18:29] rothchild, if you need to play dvds and othere media leave synaptic opened [18:29] hrm, fresh 10.10 upgrade, my fonts randomly get all weird looking and unreadable. In terminal mostly, but I just noticed it in evolution mail as well. Resizing the window seems to fix it temporarily, and they get more messed up over time. [18:29] Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10? [18:29] rocket16 most of it is done by just keeping your /home direction [18:29] Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10? [18:29] smallfoot-: You have a slow machine? [18:29] *directory [18:29] sacarlson: aww that's awesome, but how do you handle outbound connections? [18:29] no its fast [18:29] with tunnels? [18:29] B45h_V|: Thanks, but that wouldn't certainly include/exclude packages, will it? [18:30] Hi, is there a test app I can use to see what mouse buttons are what? I'd like to get compiz switching working like it does in Windows [18:30] rocket16: it won't but for all I know you can export a list of your installed packages [18:30] hello everyone, i've got a problem here: i'm trying to compile a driver for my wifi card and i can't get past the point where i do "make" command [18:30] DexterLB: in ipv6? I translated them all to ipv4 since my ISP is only ipv4 and all ipv4 trafic to ipv6 including dns [18:30] B45h_V|: Ah, thanks. [18:31] coz_ it's mostly that app I posted but I'm interested nevertheless [18:31] sacarlson: so all requests are ipv6 in the network, and gateway translates them to v6? [18:31] rothchild, ok in synaptic hit Search and type ubuntu restricted [18:32] rothchild, you want to install the ubuntu restricted extras also if you intend on dvd play back let me know [18:32] DexterLB: yes all trafic on lan is ipv6 and all is translated in the router to ipv4 [18:32] coz_ I have all of that stuff, I just didn't clock the different java versions for the flight planning app for my father [18:32] rothchild, is this 32 or 64 bit system [18:32] sacarlson: I'd so like to do that [18:32] 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path. 10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path. if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present. what changed from 8 to 10? [18:33] coz_32 [18:33] rothchild, ok in terminal run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [18:33] Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10? [18:33] rothchild, then go here http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w32codecs.html and at the bottom of the page click the i386 in blue to download the w32codecs and install them as well [18:34] DexterLB: I abandoned it since most of my customers couldn't use it with window, I will have to wait until windows adapts ipv6 without ipv4 stack before I try again [18:34] DexterLB: and I thought we only have about 1 -2 years left before ipv4 is totaly full [18:35] the answer was "xev" [18:35] :) [18:35] rothchild, that should take care of media playback ,,,, now you can test that java app to see if it works now [18:35] x11 event viewer, says mapped buttons when you push them [18:35] Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10? [18:36] is there a GUI app for configuring the wheelrc thing? [18:36] eaglewatch, not sure ...did you try the #xubuntu channel ?? [18:36] ok I have installed Hindi keyboard but now I want to install hindi spell dictionary [18:36] how can i do that [18:36] please help me [18:37] hi! where do i go to ask questions about debugging wierd email issues? (the kinds of things server admins should know about) [18:38] I did some more searching and still cannot find a reason for the initramfs mounting ' error when I try to boot Ubuntu on my laptop.... [18:38] aggrav8d: maybe a channel for your mta (postfix; exim )? #ubuntu-server? [18:38] sacarlson: I'm really looking forward to that day [18:38] and I'd like to see bill gates' face when that day comes [18:38] Fortunately for Bill Gates, he has basically nothing to do with Microsoft these days [18:38] I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this? [18:39] hello [18:39] anyone having an Revodrive (X2)? [18:40] @coz_ good work the flight planner is working for me now! Awesome. Now just to talk my dad through it! [18:40] Hi all. I am working on a friends computer who is disabled and the hassle of having to unlock his gnome keyring at log in is too much. Is there a way to automate the keyring login? [18:41] DexterLB: well windows has taken a totaly different model in it aproach to tunnel to ipv6 now when needed and still depend on ipv4 for all else, so with tunneling you are totaly dependent on the tunnels that windows has setup for you. so they can monitor all your trafic [18:41] Guys... I'm trying to use SSHFS but I'm getting an error "Connection reset by peer" with the command "sshfs xxxx@trych.com:/home ~/trych -p XXXX" where xxx is the user and XXXX is the port... any hints?!?

[19:07] KM0201, thank you very much...

[19:07] luke_ [19:07] KM0201, oops yeah I am afraid [19:08] ubuntu 10.04 cdrom drives not automounting. cd has to be in drive for it to work once.

[19:08] iuke_ u have to install the app in wine if u want to use it , u cannot run it if it is installed in windows [19:09] luke_: iirc is the default in newer ubuntu [19:09] hi when i try to reload in synaptic package manager i got "an error occurred" with details "W: A error occurred during the signature verification.

[19:09] luke_: unless the app is very portable it's not going to run anyway [19:09] ActionParsnip: yep it looks like it [19:09] KM0201, well when i put that command wireless enabled.. so yes it did [19:09] techbreak: ok.. so your wireless device works, its just for some reason its disabled on boot up. [19:10] luke_: if it is an installer for an app just copy it over to the linux partition and run from there [19:10] its fairly simple 32bit app, i have the same set up with xp/7 [19:10] KM0201, okei at least for time being I can be connected to wireless with the command.. will google for the boot up stuff.. thank you very much :) [19:10] :D nice bot [19:10] but its very big [19:10] luke_: or remount the partition with exec option [19:10] erUSUL, how big should the img file from dd be? as big as the SD card? [19:10] charbel u can still install the app by restricting gpg check [19:10] shubbar: yes [19:10] techbreak: well, just keep that command handy, in case you can't find an immediate solution [19:10] luke, try to copy its folder to your home directory on linux. [19:10] exec, do i have to reformat? [19:11] KM0201, sure, I will. [19:11] luke_: unless its a portable app, it wont run. Windows apps throw files all over the partition as well as registry entries which wine won't have [19:11] luke_: no; remount. « sudo mount -o remount,exec /mount/point » [19:11] It can work possibly. [19:11] telcnas, how ? [19:12] It is better to install though [19:12] which distro u are using charbel [19:13] telcnas, i use ubuntu 10.10 maverick [19:13] apt install --no-checksig [19:13] use this way [19:14] no dice [19:14] apt-get install --no-checksig [19:14] and what if i want to update ? [19:14] apt-get install --no-checksig [19:14] luke_: paste the line from /proc/mounts that describes the ntfs partition [19:14] remount wont let me change permission [19:15] may be apt-get upgrade --no-checksig pkgname [19:15] luke_: did you try: wine /path/to/file.exe ?? [19:15] apt-get update will update all the packages on ur system [19:16] telcnas: No it will not. update merely downloads a new package index from the repositories. 'upgrade' will upgrade packages. [19:17] If you don't want to type --no-checksig in every time you could disable GPG alltogether. [19:17] You can to this by editing the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf: you need to change GPG::Check true; [19:17] to GPG::Check false;. If you do this, you should be careful which apt repositories you use. [19:18] do i understand this correct, if i have 9.04, i must upgrade to 9.10, then 10.04, and finally 10.10 ? [19:19] resixian: Yes. [19:19] well Pici it does download but nly if the pack to be downloaded is newer than the current version [19:19] telcnas: 'update' doesn't download any new packages. [19:20] that wat i am saying that it does not allow any package it will go for each packages installed on ur system,on cannot specify a specific pack [19:20] erUSUL, acicula, thanks photorec is recovering my pictures now [19:21] shubbar: get a backup, you'll have no issue then :) [19:22] Hi Guys [19:22] well Pici i am new to ubuntu , first i used to work on rhel5 [19:22] can someone help me?

[19:24] there is quite diffenrence b/w both the distros [19:25] jpds: Btw, does the first command disable cache forever? What if I install some package through apt after running that command?

[19:25] This system has one IDE hard drive. But I'm looking under /dev and all I'm finding are things pointing to sda sda1 sda2 and so on. Why is that? [19:25] shubbar: http://www.windowslive.co.uk/skydrive not sure if it flys with linux, I know someone else mentioned one a while back [19:25] horseatingweeds: sda is your first harddrive, sda2 is the second partition on your first drive.

[19:26] Pici: So why are they called sda instead of hda? [19:26] ActionParsnip, yes i did [19:26] i am config apache on my buntu 10.04 but have sort of confussion i have created an public_html from this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP but i have not get the warning messages [19:27] hda implies ide and sda sata [19:27] does this sound right? is there some 'noprompt' mode for do-release-upgrade? [19:27] vipul: have you asked in #apache too? [19:27] hda implies ide and sda sata horseatingweeds [19:27] horseatingweeds: There was a kernel change a few releases ago that changed that. I don't have a link handy though. [19:27] danielvilhas, execute this command and all will be solved "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [19:27] there are no people ActionParsnip [19:28] vipul, ActionParsnip: The channel for apache web server help is #httpd [19:28] hda implies ide and sda sata or ur scsi devices [19:28] telcnas: All hard disk devices on Ubuntu are sda. [19:28] * #httpd :Cannot send to channel? [19:29] vipul: register/identify [19:29] telcnas, Pici, that's what's confusing me. I read that now, the first non-IDE drive was called sda. But this IS an IDE drive, or at least it was last time I checked. [19:29] why i can't send the message [19:29] !register > vipul [19:29] vipul, please see my private message [19:29] ok [19:29] horseatingweeds: this change happend way back around 2.6.20 iirc, the libata driver is to blame (?) [19:30] so according to u if am using ide than also it is going to be represented by sda Pici === lockersnatch is now known as Guest43245 [19:30] hello; i'm trying to pin php at 5.2 using http://pastebin.com/MX16pumd in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php. but apt-get install still installs php 5.3.3. [19:30] sebikul, thanks guy. It's done. [19:31] telcnas: Correct. [19:31] danielvilhas, no problem ;) [19:31] it sounds strange as this is not the case in rhel5 [19:31] pici [19:32] telcnas: I believe there is a legacy option that can be configured for libata to make IDE drives appear has hdX instead of the newer sdX. Perhaps thats what rhel chose to use. [19:32] telcnas, it must me.

[19:58] resixian: sorry new to all this. http://pastebin.com/JVmkM8i3 [19:58] (like, apt-get) [19:58] or is that basically just for /home [19:59] Sheepherd: my guess is your window manager died [19:59] Sheepherd, "metacity --replace" or "compiz --replace" [19:59] what ZykoticK9 just said [19:59] noobie25_: grrr... [19:59] noobie25_: run the 11:48 resixian | noobie25_: how about, xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x900 --right-of VGA-0 [19:59] ^^ command there, then check with xrandr -q [20:00] Sheepherd: btw, this has happened to me before, if you don't want to have to go to a terminal you can open gnome-terminal the usual way, and to focus on the commandline, you can use Search for something on it :) [20:00] resixian: ok.... sorry. (currently one of my monitors is still off from past command.... but i'll run that last command you asked). [20:01] noobie25_: i know its off. [20:01] noobie25_: we are loookgin to see if this is correct, http://pastebin.com/VpQTYuRb [20:01] resixian: here we go: http://pastebin.com/RPDLzv52 [20:01] i have xp on sda1, solaris11 on sda4 and ubuntu10.10 on sdb1. sda1 seems to have a bad sector which is causing problems for everything to properly access the disks/partitions. I need some help to figure out how to properly do the partitions and install the oses [20:02] Sheepherd: as for *why* it just died... yeah. if you're using compiz, might want to stick to metacity for now. or use less effects [20:02] Also, ubuntu is behaving rather strangely. and disk util isn't launching [20:02] resixian: i think the offsets are correct. when i move the mouse over tothe next screen... it perfectly moves across the screen. its just that the far half of the screen is scrambled. [20:03] noobie25_: yeah. offset looks good [20:03] noobie25_: what happens if you move a client over the 'scrambled' part of the screen? [20:04] whats the variable to export to set the lib directory to another or add to it? === Prawn_QuakeLive is now known as Fookin_Prawn [20:04] resixian: sure... its acts as if the buffer isn't refreshing to clean out the old image. (imagine an old old screensaver that replicates over and over and over) [20:04] digitalfiz: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ? [20:04] I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me. [20:04] resixian, lemmie try that :D [20:05] noobie25_: hmph.. stumped me. [20:05] resixian: no........:) [20:06] resixian: do you think maybe i might need an xorg.conf file? [20:06] noobie25_: you can try some stuff. but i don't have ati so idk any switches for it [20:06] resixian: I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me. [20:07] resixian: .... maybe i might have to setup my monitors top-bottom .... rather than left right. [20:07] noobie25_, i would say that your best bet is to file a bug report against the ati driver. with detailed description of what happens [20:07] noobie25_: you might try setting Virtual 3200 900 [20:08] resixian: how do i go about setting this ... i'm not comfortable yet using the xrandr... [20:08] noobie25_: also do you see any errors from 'dmesg | tail' or so? [20:08] velko: i'll file a bug after today :) [20:08] noobie25_: i dont think xrandr can set Virtual, you must add to xorg.conf [20:08] noobie25_: use System>Preferences>Monitors or another of the xrandr frontends aviable [20:09] resixian: dmesg is ok. [20:09] resixian: could you hlpe me set up the virtual? [20:09] resixian: there is no xorg.conf i've read with now xrandr in place. [20:10] how big shall I make the /boot partition? and does grub2 support booting from ext4 directly? [20:10] noobie25_: i have a *very* old one, http://pastie.org/private/emz8jq6rbvam9fav2nigra [20:10] noobie25_: now that is from arch linux, with intel gfx from last year or so (i don't use one aymore) [20:11] grrrrr [20:11] do you have no file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [20:11] anyone built a workring radius server with a database backend receintly? [20:11] ps_jinx: have you changed your HD? [20:11] resixian: ok...so i'm going to save this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:11] noobie25_: NO [20:11] B45h_V|: 1) 512 MiB is enough. 2) yes [20:12] erUSUL thx [20:12] resixian: ? [20:12] noobie25_: did you see the part wher i said it was very old, for a different linux distro and differnt graphics card? [20:12] resixian: no [20:12] just used tweal ubuntu to remove older kernels from boot menu [20:13] resixian: yes i read that.... i thought i can justchange little by little....=/ [20:13] and during this process i was using older version of kernel [20:13] ps_jinx: when you say 'dev/disk/bu-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx' do you really mean it shows 'xxxx' or some long string? [20:13] noobie25_: if you want an xorg.conf to tweak generate one « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » ( will save it in your home so copy it over to /etc/X11/ ) [20:13] sry gnome crahsed completely somehow [20:14] yes some long string and it macthes to output from sudo blkid [20:14] noobie25_: i think you wanna first dpkg-reconfigure or sth [20:14] resixian: i dont' even know what that means. [20:14] ps_jinx: ok, well from the grub menu just edit your kernel entry and point to proper location [20:15] erUSUL: resixian is recommending i do a dpkg-reconfigure first... [20:15] u menu edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:15] nemo, you said i should drop compiz n replace it with what? === dean is now known as Guest62988 [20:15] *u mean [20:15] noobie25_: resixian 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' does nothing this days ... [20:15] can u know how to reconfigure sound? [20:16] do u know how to reconfigure sound? [20:16] ps_jinx: well if you can't boot then idk how youd edit menu.lst, you can modify entries from the grub menu though [20:17] does anyone knows how to reconfigure sound? [20:17] Sheepherd: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects [20:17] erUSUL: i got an error while running sudo Xorg -configure :1 [20:17] Sheepherd: None = metacity [20:17] Sheepherd: but if you were using Extra or custom stuff with CCSM, Normal might be ok [20:17] resixian, how to edit entries from grub menu [20:17] noobie25_: which is? [20:17] @Nickoo: . [20:17] ps_jinx: press 'e' [20:18] k [20:18] @Jenk1: , [20:18] i will give a try .. thanks [20:18] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/dBqxJFrG [20:18] hello, is there a way to know the speed of an ata hard drive? [20:18] nemo, ah thx... ive been playing around with compiz lately but it seems that its not too stable [20:18] erUSUL: maybe these errors are ok then. [20:19] fleshpike, very fast [20:19] noobie25_: that's not an error it worked just fine; says --> Your xorg.conf file is /home/ring/xorg.conf.new [20:19] * Redcoil greets [20:19] noobie25_: try testing the file [20:19] erUSUL: :) [20:19] Sheepherd : what is compiz? [20:20] In order to fix my fans, an instruction mentions adding 'windfarm_core' to /etc/modules. What does this mean, and how do I do that? [20:20] is there an easy way of setting up samba? I've not been having too much success with it? [20:20] noobie25_: paste that file so i can take a look [20:20] fleshpike, you might want to try "sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda" or "sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda" [20:20] Redcoil: sudo vim /etc/modules [20:20] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/wGLkgEHT [20:20] fleshpike, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=compiz [20:21] hey [20:21] Sheepherd, please don't use lmgtfy here [20:21] does anyone do any xbox spoofing? [20:21] ZykoticK9, why not? [20:21] erUSUL: xorg.conf.new http://pastebin.com/kRrp7Dav [20:21] !google > Sheepherd [20:21] ZycoticK9 : that way can i know if it is a 33/66/100 or 133 ata hard drive? [20:21] Sheepherd, please see my private message [20:21] noobie25_: sudo -X -config /home/ring/xorg.conf.new :1 [20:22] resixian, command not found :s [20:22] resixian, even though 'man' knows vim [20:22] Redcoil: substitue your favorite editor fro 'vim' [20:22] hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this? [20:22] Redcoil: e.g. 'nano' or whatever [20:22] ZykoticK9, i actually didnt tell him to google it... it did it for him instead ;) but i'll try again. [20:22] noobie25_: you have an ati? then it is correct [20:22] resixian, alright, thanks. [20:23] Sheepherd, either "google it" or the site lmgtfy is considered rude here [20:23] noobie25_: you can copy the file to /etc/X11/ and begin tweaking if that's what you want to do [20:23] fleshpike, compiz is a neat piece of software that can make your desktop a real eye-catcher. [20:23] erUSUL: the trouble is he tried restarting it on display :0 [20:23] Sheepherd, much better ;) [20:23] ZykoticK9, =) [20:24] how do i save all installed packages for later installation using aptitude on a new install ? [20:24] resixian, And now reboot, I presume? [20:24] Sheepherd : is it compiz installed b default? [20:24] !clone | k-rad [20:24] k-rad: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate === Crash is now known as Guest73875 [20:24] thank you [20:24] erUSUL: i'm on another machine....... my screens had turned black [20:24] k-rad, /var/cache/aprt/archives [20:25] k-rad, /var/cache/apt/archives sorry typo [20:25] erUSUL: should i hit CNTRL+V to return? [20:25] i would like to know if my hard drive is a 33/66/100 or 133. how can i know this? [20:25] Redcoil: not entirely necessary [20:25] fleshpike, look up your hard drive information in your bios [20:26] noobie25: :/ change to a VT ( crtl + alt + f1 ) remove the file you just copied and restart X [20:26] fleshpike, someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure a very basic version is pre-installed by default, where u can use Non, Some and All graphical effects compiz has to offer but without all that tweaking. [20:26] is anyone here familiar with hardware raid ? does that work well with ubuntu ? [20:26] erUSUL: how do i restart X? [20:26] Why is it that if you copy a link out of lets say firefox and then close firefox you can no longer paste the link. [20:26] k-rad: bios raid? [20:26] yes sir [20:26] !fakeraid | k-rad [20:26] k-rad: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:26] fleshpike: you can also use hdparm to check. [20:26] noobie25, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart X [20:26] noobie25: sudo restart gdm [20:27] k-rad: if the machine only has linux installed is better to use linux software raid [20:27] a [20:28] erUSUL: i removed teh file in my home directly .... and ran .... sudo service gdm restart... and now it shows me (X) in the middle of the screen [20:29] erUSUL: *directory [20:29] fleshpike, you can access it with System>Preferences>Compiz Settings Manager i think [20:29] noobie25, sounds like you don't have a windows manager / desktop environment - and it's only running X [20:29] noobie25: ? if the file is in your home folder it has no effect. only has effect if ou copie it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you restart X ( or the computer ) [20:29] noobie25: so the blackening of your screens has nothing to do with the new xorg.conf ... [20:29] erUSUL: oh..i had never copied it to my /etc/X11 directory in the first place. [20:30] erUSUL: is that why it had turned black? [20:30] fleshpike, it has to be installed first though... so go to the Software Center and search for Compiz === Newa2 is now known as NewaWrk [20:30] fleshpike, there u need at least Compiz + Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager [20:30] noobie25: you were probably looking at a second serevr [20:30] Hi there, my Evolution cache got corrupted (just the inbox), so I moved the .evolution folder to .evolution.bak and restarted; things seemed to work again. However, now I want to access the history of sent messages in .evolution.bak. Anyone know how I can access those messages? Thank you :) [20:30] ZykoticK9: we were trying to get my desktop to dual screen... now trying to revert back i think. [20:30] noobie25: dunno; if the display worked when you installed the system it should work now [20:30] noob here. can anyone help me with this tutorial? http://www.serverhostingsecrets.com/tutorials/ubuntucentos-pptpd-howto/ i'm on the last step. i need to enable ip forwarding [20:31] fleshpike, Additionally the Advanced one for the mentioned tweaking [20:31] erUSUL: should i restart the computer? [20:31] resixian: what do you mean second server? [20:31] hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this? [20:31] is anyone here part of the Ubuntu design team? [20:31] Sheepherd : got it, i ll take a look at it [20:31] noobie25: did you pass the ':1' switch when testing the new xorg.conf.new ? [20:32] neckti3: edit /etc/sysctl.conf [20:32] i'm not sure.. [20:32] noobie25: ps aux | grep X [20:32] neckti3: there is a line like this --> #net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [20:32] neckti3: remove the # [20:33] noobie25: notice if there are > 1 /usr/X11*/bin/X running [20:33] neckti3: then run « sudo sysctl -a » [20:33] hello i want to know how to run script when i press some button?

[20:35] noobie25: ok, so the :0, :1 ... are the X servers DISPLAY variables [20:35] ok i know [20:35] hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception [20:35] virtual tty0-8 [20:36] noobie25: this is more than you need to know atm, but you couldn't test your new xorg.conf withtout the ':1' switch i told you about because there was already a server running on ':0' [20:36] is it ok [20:36] please I need my panels I can't restart I am downloading something very important [20:36] noobie25: so kill the process with the :1 switch [20:36] hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception [20:36] ZykoticK9: thx but the thing is that the server is running WLAN so I guess there is no internet connection before login ? [20:36] silentstorm, maverick uses plymouth rather then usplash... are you really trying to use usplash? [20:37] resixian: it is process id 11994. is the command kill 11994 [20:37] /join #hackerss [20:37] whooby, um, if you are using nm-applet that can certainly be an issue. sorry man, i'm no help. [20:37] noobie25: probably has to be 'sudo kill 11994' [20:37] noobie25: becuase it was started as root [20:37] resixian: ok...done. [20:37] ZykoticK9: ok well I have never to do a reboot then :D :D [20:38] noobie25: so now were there any errors from startig X with the xorg.conf.new ? [20:38] resixian: i don't think so...

Any way to get around this? [20:44] resixian: errors like the following [20:44] you just use the GUI in the advanced settings during install [20:44] bitplane, i'm glad - i didn't know about the ramp part [20:45] bitplane, yes but what to put?

[20:45] noobie25: you are not in the same directory as before i think [20:46] You're using 10.10? [20:46] noobie25: iirc you had a path like 'rings/xorg.conf.new' or sth [20:46] bitplane, yes [20:46] chalcedony: You don't really have to type anything, just choose the options from the drop-down menus in the advanced settings page during install [20:46] at least that's what I just did [20:46] anyone? [20:47] resixian: hmm...its the same directory. .... my home directory.

[20:48] noobie25: read the error, it says it can't find the config file [20:48] chalcedony: are you trying to do this real time or is this hypothetical? [20:48] noobie25: find ~ -type f -name "*xorg.conf*" [20:48] no it's real .. my husban'ds computer [20:48] bitplane: what specifically do you need to know about x11? [20:49] chalcedony: are you reformatting the whole thing, starting from scratch? [20:49] cjdevlin, i asked my husband, he thinks 4gb ram [20:49] resixian: /home/ring/xorg.conf.new [20:49] cjdevlin, yes [20:49] chalcedony: what is the installation media and what iso are you using? [20:49] noobie25: and pwd says? [20:50] resixian: /home/ring [20:50] cjdevlin, it's a cd - going to a 500gb sata drive [20:50] noobie25: k, i guess switch the order.. seems odd though [20:50] cjdelvin, I'll explain my suggestion... I'd love to see something like Logitech's mouse settings page, it has a picture of the mouse with all the buttons on it, it has descriptions of all the different axes, button names etc [20:50] is it possible to autohide bottom pannel of ubuntu? [20:50] Currently if I want to ID a button I have to run xev and look at the output. I noticed that my search button is bound to a keypress.... where would this live? [20:51] hello. do you know how can I rename multiple files with the same name but under different directories? [20:51] and make it appear upon hovering bottom side [20:51] 30 minites in here and nobody has answered me, please help. [20:51] phil__, restate the question? === root is now known as Guest27237 [20:51] resixian: weird. still says "Unable to locate/open config file: "xorg.conf.new" while running the command sudo X -config xorg.conf.new :1 [20:51] I'd also like to set different key bindings for buttons depending on application (for zoom, page forward, backward), I hear this is done by imwheelrc [20:51] chalcedony: the gui for the installer did not come up?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:06] JT_, Did you try putting in the authentication in the settings/url? [21:06] *x11 is gui protocol for networked computers* [21:07] @sjm: you mean Preferences>Network Proxy?? [21:07] JT_, I can't remember the syntax exactly, but you might try something like setting your proxy to: user:password@ [21:08] hy hy [21:08] hm, i just realized the support period for my distro has passed [21:08] root_: don't do IRC as root [21:09] that's a REALLY bad idea === jannis is now known as Guest66040 [21:09] haha thanks for redirecting me guntbert, got my answer :) [21:09] ks07: :) [21:11] what does it mean that a package is installed "without verification" ?

[21:17] thats what I need to do [21:18] sjm, i did that already. [21:18] bibic682: then tvtime can wait, you need to set up the device before worrying about tvtime at all [21:18] doesn't seem to be affecting the software center.

[21:24] For some reason, my Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working, it briefly loads and then crashes. What to do? [21:24] What is wrong with 10.10? [21:24] JT_, do you know what kind of proxy it is? (e.g. squid, MS ISA, etc) [21:24] Redcoil: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update use: http://pastie.org to give the output [21:24] snake: its not as mature as the others is all I can think of, otherwise its fine [21:25] sjm: Not exactly. The instructions on how to configure the proxy for firefox say its an HTTP proxy. [21:25] ActionParsnip: maybe a cable/connector problem? I take it that is a DLP the pc is connected to? [21:25] http://geekswithblogs.net/technetbytes/archive/2007/08/11/114573.aspx: can anybody make any sense out of it??

[21:26] sjm: do try and go through the link i posted above. [21:26] maybe you can make some sense out of it... [21:26] ActionParsnip: ya. I think thats what it stands for. [21:26] Jeruvy: its (probably) a low end 32" toshiba flatscreen TV with VGA input. I have an Xorg.conf so it has a decent res and I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers which are running fine, just that everything is blue [21:26] JT_, does this page help? http://www.allquests.com/question/2472861/Solved-407-Proxy-Authentication-Required-Feisty.html [21:27] Hi all I'd like to know I got the Nvidia GTX 295 which better : installing nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com or getting that from repo ? (I'm using maverick) [21:27] hello. im looking at the first post of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93706&page=2 and it says "set permission to execute", what does that mean? I did make the file and save it and tried to run it but it says permission denied. I then run it with sudo and it can't find the command... [21:27] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1380832 [21:27] ActionParsnip: I presume it looks fine on another input? [21:27] hello all.. is there an alternative to GIMP as i dont feel very confortable with that software [21:27] ActionParsnip, It's in german unfortunately, but means something like 'malformed code row 59 in Source list /etc/apt/sources.list [21:27] ActionParsnip, and "The list of source sould not be read" [21:28] Redcoil: ok what is the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 59 | tail -n 1 [21:28] JT_, I know what you are talking about, that link/page doesn't talk about this. [21:28] ActionParsnip, http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/Linux/iMac%20G5/windfarm-pm121.patch main [21:29] Jeruvy: i have the yellow connector fro the Red/White/yellow connection method and that hooks up but the text is scewed, but then again I havent tried it since the new xorg.conf. Might be a solution :) [21:29] anyone, Software Center is just a frontend to aptitude/apt-get, right? [21:30] i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called? [21:30] Redcoil: thats not a deb repositository dude [21:30] ActionParsnip: I hope it's not a bulb problem. [21:30] sjm: tried the link you just sent. [21:30] now i'm getting the message: 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.37 80]. [21:30] ActionParsnip, I've no idea. [21:30] ActionParsnip, I dabbled at attempting to do shit I don't understand earlier involving that, so that may very well be a reason [21:30] Redcoil: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the line [21:30] ActionParsnip: After further investigation I found out that I just had to purge the old kernel packages to remove them from the boot list [21:30] ActionParsnip: Normally I just comment them out [21:31] !language | Redcoil [21:31] Redcoil: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.. [21:31] Jeruvy: it plays the Virgin Cable TV just fine [21:31] guntbert, Whoops, sorry. [21:31] Jeruvy: i've tried 2 VGA cables too [21:31] JT_, it looks like you got through the proxy at least now. [21:32] ActionParsnip, "comment out the line"? [21:32] Jeruvy: only thing I can think is the nvidia card is dying [21:32] ActionParsnip: that is strange. [21:32] Redcoil: put # in front of something [21:32] Redcoil: add a hash character to the start of the line, save the file and run: sudo apt-get update [21:32] sjm: so what d'you think the problem is now?? [21:32] bien coño bien [21:32] ActionParsnip, do you know if the Software Center is just a frontend to apt-get/aptitude? [21:33] sjm: yep, thats all it is [21:33] ActionParsnip, whee, it's doing stuff [21:33] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks [21:33] sjm: no, all three are fron ends to the same backend [21:33] Redcoil: if you add nonsense to your sources file it will stop it working [21:33] ActionParsnip, Okay, thanks. I'll watch my actions from now on. Thank you! [21:34] JT_, can you try running "sudo apt-get update' from the command line to see what you get? [21:34] guntbert, apt? or dpkg? [21:34] i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called? [21:34] guntbert, I was more asking if the configuration for aptitude would do for the Software Center too (proxy, etc.) [21:35] sjm: if I understand it correctly, the database is apt, but I may err [21:35] bueno para cuando el capitan america??

[21:36] Jeruvy: it has vga, the white one that can be converted to vga and svideo (like playstations use etc) [21:37] sjm: at least the settings for synaptic and software center should be shared, and "software sourdes" are shared across the whole system (so they apply to apt...) [21:37] Jeruvy: might try converting the white one to vga [21:37] JT_, looks like your proxy is denying access to the repos. Can you contact the network people who administer the proxy to see?

It looks like your authentication is now working, but the page is blocked. Can you get there in a browser?

[21:40] nc -vv -l -p 21 whats wrong with this command ? [21:40] sybariten: if you grab the alternate ISO for each successive release, you can upgrade using that (obviously MD5 test each). Or you can do a clean install of Karmic or newer, I suggest Lucid as it is LTS [21:41] tejaishot: wht is the output of: sudo apt-get update use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks [21:41] rww: yeah... well... i bet i will need to get more space on the machine... i have 160 megs free now.... [21:41] mkdir -p jeff/{email,homework,classwork,notes} dave/{email,homework,classwork,notes} phil/{email,homework,classwork,notes} vik/{email,homework,classwork,notes}. this at the command line creates 4 directories each with 4 subdirectories. but when i put it in a file called an.sh, and do sh and.sh, 4 directories are created, each with a subdirectory {email,homework,classwork,notes} [21:41] ActionParsnip: sure [21:41] sybariten: I'd recommend more space, yes ;) [21:42] this is the first time i actually install a program properly on ubuntu. anyway, on installing it asks me which folder to install in (im installing maple). the default is /home/billy/maple13. Whats the c:\program files\ equivalent in ubunut? [21:42] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1380881 [21:42] JT_, in a browser can you access http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [21:43] Bilz: you got a question on where to install the program? [21:43] tejaishot: natting is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1 [21:43] JT_, (through the proxy) [21:43] sybariten, yeah basically. is that the "right" place to install it? [21:43] tejaishot: natty is not even beta yet and will have feature holes and LOTS of bugs [21:44] Hi everyone... I am new to linux and I have a question regarding ubuntu [21:44] sjm: everything opening fine on Mozilla. [21:44] pinkpanther: ask away [21:44] Hi pinkpanther I'm new also, but ask away :) [21:44] ActionParsnip: yeah.. [21:44] tejaishot: so your support isn't here [21:45] tejaishot: your release is offtopic for this channel [21:45] alright well I have an hp dv3 laptop, and I am running ubuntu 10.10 (x64 -- 32 bit) and my integrated mic and webcam and headphones worked fine, then yesterday it stopped all of the sudden [21:45] Bilz: uhm... well maybe someone else here can evolve more on whether its a good place or not, but that is not a very common procedure generally in any case [21:45] Hi all. As silly as it seems, could you please confirm that, for the Intel Atom Dual Core D525 processor, I should download ubuntu 64bit ? [21:45] my mic isnt muted and as far as I know i have the appropriate alsa drivers installed [21:45] sybariten, well where is the general place to leave installs?4 [21:45] pinkpanther: run: alsamixer in a terminal, be sure all levels are cranked and not muted [21:46] ngirard, i believe most of that Atoms are 32bit - not sure about yours in specific [21:46] sjm: everything fine on mozilla, so i'd assume the proxy should work for software center too. [21:46] pinkpanther: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh if it isn't muted [21:46] Bilz: maybe except for commercial software... i suspect maple may be that math soft? The normal procedure when you install software is that the OS takes care of where to put stuff. Particularly when installing via a so called package manager, which is very common [21:46] alguien Español?

Thanks very much ! === root is now known as Guest55343 [21:47] running command right now :) [21:47] ngirard: the D525 will work with 32-bit or 64-bit, yes. [21:47] Redcoil: if there isn't a ppa, then most likely [21:47] sybariten, yeah its a commercial maths software. i just always take /home/user to be my documents sort of place [21:47] Bilz: otherwise you can "build" the software from source files, but even then, in most cases, you dont bother with specifying where the files should go, coz.... well they will end up in a couple of different places [21:47] rww: oh, really ? [21:47] ActionParsnip, is SVN built-in in 10.10? [21:47] *sigh* Giving up, no help on no channels >: Will try again later on :/ [21:48] sybariten, so it didnt make sense to me to install it there. but i dont know where else to install it. [21:48] ngirard: yup. x86_64/amd64 processors can run either [21:48] sybariten, no, this comes with an installer [21:48] Redcoil: you can use svn, yes [21:48] why does smb.conf have a 'read only' and a 'writable' option what's the diff? isn't read only = no and writable = yes, the same thing? [21:48] rww: alright, thanks rww for your feedback ! [21:48] sybariten, never mind, its getting installed in my user directory [21:48] whats the worst that could happen eh [21:48] Bilz: yeah... well that behaviour is, if you ask me, not at all common for linux, but ofcourse it exists. Personally i'd probably make a dir called "bin" under /home/Bilz [21:48] ActionParsnip: brittany@Zoolander:~$ wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh --2010-12-15 16:48:17-- http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Resolving alsa-project.org... 212.20.107.51 Connecting to alsa-project.org|212.20.107.51|:80... connected.

[21:59] and then [22:00] carlos2: What's the issue? [22:00] modprobe ndiswrapper [22:00] Chilaquiles: use sudo -i instead, its more suitable to your environment [22:00] Chilaquiles: yes, if you add the word like I said above it will be loaded === jorge is now known as iblood [22:00] was there another softaware than wine ? [22:00] i installed it on a dell inspiron min 10 [22:00] right but can I set it up modprobe ndiswrapper [22:00] JT_, you should have these two lines in /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port"; and Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port"; [22:00] ok where exactly in modules I add that?

[22:07] Hi :] [22:07] Chilaquiles: if you do what I say, it will work, its really that simple [22:07] eazyigz, it checks for development releases and offers you the option to upgrade to it [22:08] mic doesnt work in sype either ...

I promise [22:12] ActionParsnip; Thanks for the suggestion, but do you all think the mic problem is a software incompatibility with ubuntu? Or some type of incompatibility with HP [22:12] pinkpanther: you may need an option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [22:13] ActionParsnip, I used vi and vim before but now I don't even remember how to edit a file [22:13] :( [22:13] Thats why I couldn't add the line [22:13] what kind of option should I add?

[22:17] helix_9: then change your IP to be the same as the printers EXCEPT for the last octet [22:17] sjm: >> will null the sudo therefore that command will not work.. look at using tee -a instead [22:18] bassliner, ok, thanks for that info.

I am planning to write a Python app that will make a cal to a Linux command that is not generally installed by default.

[22:26] Gizmo_the_Great: the libc6 package has "Priority: required", I think you can safely assume if they've got a usable system they've got libc6 :-) [22:26] Ketreva: try ./executableName [22:26] ApolloXVI: use this guide until the embedded video: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [22:27] im getting a deb.tar.gz package, do i need to extract it before running it?

[22:42] Hey guys, its nearly Xmas and I need some snow for my Marverick, how to get hold of compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported [22:42] How can I tell if my ubuntu is i386 or x86_64? [22:43] anythingj, uname -a [22:43] oxyrosis: type this w/o quotes... "/join #km0201" i think i found the answer, but it's fairly detailed.... [22:43] DrDuck, plug your computer into one of the LAN ports and it should give you an IP on it's own network. It would usually be something like 192.168.0.1 [22:43] lilphil: Cool... does "i686" mean that it is x86_64? [22:43] anythingj: no [22:43] anythingj: no, it isn't. [22:43] anythingj, no, x86 [22:43] aside from madjr, who else can tell me a program to make a photo CD? [22:43] no helpers? [22:44] cyphase: using maverick¿ [22:44] !info compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported [22:44] Package compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported does not exist in maverick [22:44] dualscreen problem no one has been able to solve the last two days: "Top-Down extended works perfectly" "Left-Right extended (half of right screen is scrambled and anytime you move over it...it acts like the buffer is not flushed on each refresh). [22:44] "Linux Tower 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:18:49 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"... so does this mean I have i386 or x64_64? [22:44] sburwood1, probably not so helpful, but you could use kino to create a video DVD from pictures if youre looking for a slideshow effect [22:44] xangua, did you actually mean me? [22:45] cryptmod99: yes, sorry [22:45] no problem :) [22:45] upps, confused o_O [22:45] anythingj, to check if your processor is x86_64 capable you need to do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and look for lm in the flags section, the kernel you are currently running is x86 [22:45] how do I change resolution on ubuntu 10.10 [22:45] thx, lilphil, but I'm transferring some pics from a camera to a CD [22:45] cryptmod99: if ya try kubuntu for the holidays theres snow in the builtin kde4 3d effects =) [22:45] lilphil: and by x86, you mean i386 and 32-bit? [22:45] @sburwood1, yes is free and open, there are a few but i seen one that is very good still searching [22:45] by editing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [22:45] ? [22:46] anythingj, er yeah sorry that could have been more clear :) [22:46] Since I can get the answer 4 my ?, I have another question, what do i need to install inorder to watch a blueray Disk? [22:47] madjr: thx ... I'll be patient [22:47] tq: I have a E8400, which I recently learned is a 64-bit processor, but I'm thinking I might have installed ubunt 32-bit and wanted to check... and if I am, is it easy to change? [22:48] tq: I do have "lm" in the flags [22:49] anythingj: to run the 64 bit version you really need to reinstall everything using the 64 bit version [22:49] madjr: brb [22:49] I need to do something for 30 secs [22:49] @sburwood1, i think is called videoporama [22:49] tq: Before I start that process, is there a way to double check that I was indeed correct that my E8400 processor supports 64-bit? [22:50] ok [22:50] Gnea: welcome back [22:50] anythingj: yes, the e8400 data sheet says it is 64bit - its a core 2 duo [22:50] madjr: I'm back [22:50] Can anyone help me figure out what SATA card to get? I found this Silicon Image SATALink 4-Port SATA PCI Controller Card for $14, and was wondering if its supported or not [22:50] Yancho: That's caused by a BIOS bug, your BIOS can't read past a certain limit into large disks. To work around the bug you can create a small /boot partition near the beginning of the drive, or if it's an IDE drive you can also use grub2's native PATA drivers to bypass the BIOS. [22:50] anythingj: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037 [22:50] did you miss me? [22:50] tq: Thanks! [22:50] I created a live usb and when it boots it stops as soon as it shows the 'Debian`date` Peter et all' screen is this a bug? [22:50] lilphil: Thanks! [22:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVXfhLNjoA [22:51] I have asked my first 2 questions on this channel and I can't seem get a correct answer, arent u guys Ubuntu heads or I wasing my time [22:51] Jordan_U, this was working before .. just restarted now [22:52] @sburwood1, ok its imagination and videoporama [22:52] lol [22:52] !attitude | cryptmod99 [22:52] cryptmod99: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [22:52] madjr: and it's in the software center? [22:52] madjr: thanks for your help [22:52] @sburwood1, yep [22:52] Yancho: What has happened is that grubs files were being stored before the limit of your BIOS before. [22:53] @sburwood1, np [22:53] itaylor57: hola [22:53] Yancho: Now they're past that limit and can't be read. [22:53] Gnea: I got the java netbeans guy sorted out the other day === nick is now known as Guest9320 [22:54] madjr: and it works in Europe? [22:54] itaylor57: excellent! was it a dual install or something? [22:54] @sburwood1, not sure i hope so! u can file bugs if it doesnt [22:54] Gnea: you can have both openjdk and sunjdk, you just need to tell /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javac which one to use [22:55] would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs [22:55] Jordan_U, can you please guid me how to do that /boot thing then? im such a newbie :S [22:55] madjr: If only I knew how to file bugs ... lolll [22:55] I'm gonna try these things out [22:56] madjr: and again thx (even if np) [22:56] itaylor57: yup [22:56] qdb: the ubuntu dvd¿ [22:56] hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel C2D machine with 3.2GB of RAM when I use "top" I can see that about 2.6 GB of RAM are in use and I guess that couldn't be normal [22:56] Yancho: Sure. First off, do you know if the drive is SATA or IDE? [22:56] Jordan_U, yeah .. no raid [22:56] @sburwood1, very easy, usually at the programs website or https://bugs.launchpad.net [22:56] OkropNick, I'll asking again this time with zero Aptitude, I need compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported and Blueray apt for Marverick. [22:56] Gnea: apt_xxsomething -configure java and javac [22:56] xangua, as i know it does not include nvidia and ati drivers [22:57] Jordan_U, its a 500gb sata 2 on a sata raid card .. i did fsck on all the partitions and they are fine [22:57] how can I find out which process is using that much RAM ? [22:57] grim__: top works [22:57] itaylor57: good to know [22:58] itaylor57, that was a question? [22:58] Yancho: Are you familiar with using gparted? [22:59] would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs - like mandriva pro [22:59] Why the time that I have displayed changes even though I changed so it can show the right time?

[23:00] does anyone know if i have trouble with ubuntu dual screen...if i'll have any luck with kubuntu??? [23:00] is this too difficult for you guys to answer seriously?

[23:15] I was having trouble playing f4v files and uninstalling and updating fixed the problem for me [23:15] mplayer and vlc should do the trick though === nick_ is now known as Guest74704 [23:16] monkeybox, k [23:16] does anyone have the problem with the keyring [23:16] So I installed the broadcom 43 driver via restricted drivers, but I have no option to connect to wireless networks [23:16] Does anyone have the solution?

What type of broadcom card do you have? and make sure if there is a switch to enable/disable wireless that it's enabled [23:18] grim__: do you think you can help me with the ati driver? i really like ubuntu's look and would like to continue using it. [23:18] GSF1200: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [23:18] I'm on a late 2009 mac mini so I believe it's the broadcom 43 driver [23:18] noobie25: ah, whats the exact problem - when _not_ using nomodeset - is it screen corruption? [23:18] grim__: do you know if using kubuntu, i'll have better luck? [23:19] @liminal, i think you should boot with your 2nd monitor already plug in and turned on [23:19] histo: there is no switch to enable or disable wireless. :/ [23:19] ParkerH: well there are different 43xx [23:19] update of 10/04 > cant print. got HP driver, installed, cant print. driver is there on the panel.

I recently f-d up my PC, so I had to take backups of all my files while running Ubuntu from the Live CD and do a clean install. Now I want to move my backups back, but I'm getting error messages about file permissions. Could someone please tell me what permissions normal files and folders should have, and what command I should use to change them all back to that permission? [23:28] monkeybox, i dint get following two codecs libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev ,is it create some sort of problem 2 me [23:28] I'm just stuck at the "who are you?" page [23:28] thenumber28, what version are you trying to install? and on what type of hardware? [23:28] Monkeybox, thanks [23:28] monkeybox, i dint get following two codecs libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev ,is it going 2 create some sort of problem 2 me [23:28] I'll try. [23:28] hi! my sda has a bad sector which is giving me a very tough time. is it possible to check individual partitions (and not the entire drive) for bad sectors? [23:28] it's the most recent version, I downloaded it a few hours ago [23:29] the PC is custom built [23:29] i'm on ubuntu 10.10 [23:29] youd be better off savingyourself the trouble and getting a new hard drive [23:29] thenumber28, clean install or dual boot? [23:29] roy_1 use fsck.extx /dev/sdax [23:29] clean install [23:29] ok [23:29] twinshock, you can undo the work you did by the code at the bottom of the page [23:29] madjr, I didnt upgrade (sorry wrong word) I just do the suggested UPDATES. (someone in here told me the update might have munched my driver. Thus I went to the HP site and "did what they told me to do" download (itaylor57 who has gone - so no i didnt do the all in one) [23:30] if it makes any difference, I'm actually running ubuntu right now from the disc [23:30] roy_1, getting a new hard drive is a good thing. I did it and I'm clam-happy [23:30] @forteller, run sudo nautilus in root mode, then you will be able to change the permissions back to the user you want [23:30] and attempting to install simultaneously [23:31] so is there any other way 2 play these files [23:31] twinshock, the area with the bs is now mostly unallocated. i'm creating small partitions to see which one is bad. my plan is to then create my usable partitions, and delete the culprit. what ext should i use for these (temp) partitions? [23:32] thenumber28, did the computer reboot before install started? [23:32] no? [23:32] it did this before I ran ubuntu off the disc, too [23:32] well i dint face any problem playing flv videos in rhel5 monkeybox , is there any other way [23:32] it just gets stuck at the "who are you?" step of installation saying it's waiting on me, but does not allow me to forward [23:33] thenumber28: use an all lowercase username [23:33] thenumber28, test your memory. [23:33] roy_1 whatever partition u r going to create it must having a filesystem , u have 2 mention that filesystem only [23:33] hahaha [23:33] the all lowercase worked [23:33] what the hell? [23:33] nice [23:34] DrManhattan: good catch [23:34] brilliant =P [23:34] thanks a lot [23:34] thenumber28: you're welcome [23:34] the lowercase thing should be filed as a papercut.. [23:34] bastidrazor: Good catch [23:35] I was just using my avatar "28", too [23:35] hey i have a question, does anyone know of a program that can convert .ogv video files to like flash or .mov or .avi, anything that my windoze using friends might be more apt to be able to view [23:35] twinshock: vlc will play flv files [23:35] twinshock, not sure. Vlc should play those files for you [23:35] I can play them on my machine [23:35] cf0531: ffmpeg [23:35] so, suppose i want to check sda1 (ntfs). what command to use? [23:36] cj0531: tell them to just download vlc player and they can see them [23:36] I downloaded/compiled/install an application. what is the best practice for uninstalling an application via command line? [23:36] cf0531: never worked with ogv, so not so sure [23:36] vlc plays .ogv? [23:36] cf0531: or just tell your friends to use VLC [23:36] kcorcoran: did you do configure/make/make install? [23:36] cjdevlin [23:36] That fixed my problem with the wireless! [23:36] oops, yes [23:36] cf0531: yes [23:36] kcorcoran: delete the source files.. future reference use checkinstall instead of make install .. [23:36] kcorcoran, usually if you compiled and installed it with make install there is also a make uninstall [23:36] ok thanks guys [23:36] I forgot who was helping me with it...sory [23:36] !checkinstall [23:36] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [23:36] cjdevlin,monkeybox i tried but i doesnt [23:36] cf0531: vlc plays just about every format, and if it doesn't theres usually a codec to make it work [23:36] cjdevlin,monkeybox i tried but it doesnt [23:37] go into the source directory and do 'make uninstall' [23:37] cjdevlin: "sudo make uninstall" in the build directory.

[23:40] cjdevlin, vlc prompts unsupported video codecs , may be i am not having the codecs needed to play these files [23:41] cjdevlin, actually i downloaded them before so m not having those links :( [23:43] cjdevlin , do u know the proper video codecs for flv, well i dint face ny problem in playing these videos in rhel5 [23:43] do you have ffmpeg installed?

[23:45] twinshock, try flv files from a different source and see if you have the same issue [23:46] cjdevlin,yes i had before ,but the same issue then as well [23:46] kcorcoran: if you sudo'd some stuff the owner will be root. you may just have to change the owner. to see who owns the file: ls -al filename [23:47] twinshock: dpkg -l | grep vlc and put the output to pastebin [23:47] hey all [23:47] * ^Phantom2^ frantically searches for a blank cd [23:49] cjdevlin: i appreciate the help. can you look at the output and help me to understand? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544228/ [23:49] cjdevlin: i am sure i caused the issue. i had fgrun working and uninstalled/installed...it doesn't work now for some reason [23:49] ^Phantom2^: don't get the need for cd's anymore, now that you can make a bootable usb image out of anything [23:50] <^Phantom2^> my laptop is a bit older [23:50] <^Phantom2^> and won't boot from the usb [23:50] kcorcoran: the first letters are the permissions for different thing r - read, w - write, x - execute. it looks like you are the owner however. have you ran the program as sudo? [23:50] ^Phantom2^: i don't get the need for it, except that :) [23:50] <^Phantom2^> XD [23:50] ^Phantom2^: you change the bootloader to usb? [23:50] <^Phantom2^> And my car is older too...
