[00:00] KM0201, no i am burning a cd-r i was saying that i have never durnt with ubuntu because my machine has a dvd-r, read and write cd's and read dvd no burning dvds [00:00] everything works perfect for me [00:00] Chaos2358: oh ok. [00:00] netbeast: run: lsusb and you will get the ID [00:00] radi: natty is offtopic here [00:01] ezrafree: yea sorry [00:01] Chaos2358: did you start w/ a new disk?.. it's possible the previous burn attempts fubar'd it [00:01] bloody hell, some religious war [00:01] anyway [00:01] hi to all some one for a little help??? My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened! [00:01] ok [00:01] yep new disc [00:01] hmm [00:01] radi: no, its the subject of the channel. Natty is supported in #ubuntu+1 [00:01] wow. everything has to fudge up for me today [00:02] Chaos2358: thats strange, i've never had a prob w/ gnomebaker [00:02] is there a way to sync a FTP folder + one of my local folder automagically? [00:02] its the window that says baking [00:02] Azerox: rsync may work [00:02] ActionParsnip, it's for SSH [00:02] it says its burning the cd but its not spinnning the drive [00:02] I have a folder with a lot of wav files. How do I convert all of them to mp3? (doing by hand is no option) [00:02] Chaos2358: is the progress bar moving? [00:03] i simply made a copy from one machine to an other machine if i do ls -l on the first i got total 8512 and the second if i do ls -l i got total 8360 is that normal ? [00:03] some one for a little help??? My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened! [00:03] KM0201, nope it started at 3/4 done and said 3 minutes remaining [00:03] Azerox: you can use sshfs mounted and rsync that [00:03] hmm. [00:03] wonder if something is wrong w/ your drive Chaos2358 [00:04] says its supported [00:04] its just my luck today man [00:04] aertyu: that can be normal depending on the block size of the different macines [00:04] Chaos2358: happens to us all [00:04] block size ? [00:04] KM0201, ive fubard everything ive touched today [00:04] means [00:05] My ubuntu box 1) rebooted itself 2) came back up with no network interfaces. ifconfig shows nothing but lspci shows it [and the two pci ones i put in after to test] but nothing in ifconfig .. any thoughts? thanks [00:05] KM0201, HEY!!! it just started moving. [00:05] Chaos2358: lol, good [00:06] KM0201, with it being iso it shouldnt have had to encode would it? [00:06] aertyu: what kind of host to what kinda of host? [00:07] during transfer from remote host to localhost itaylor57 [00:08] Could someone tell me why chrooting and doing update-grub only seems to detect Windows?: http://pastebin.com/zHVtCx3R I cannot boot my Linux OS [00:09] (using lvm2) [00:10] alpha: for a gui method, install soundkonverter ...you can drag and drop the folder/files and be done with it. [00:10] KM0201, progress bar went all the way across then the window closed, now its spinning and burning the disc [00:10] Chaos2358: hmm, seems a bit unusual. [00:11] Hello... I have a bad problem... I have no virus software that can scan all programs and find malware, only fixes registry... and I have a trojan [00:11] aertyu: I am probably the wrong person to answer this, more knowledgeable in solaris, but yes getting different resultant sizes across hosts is normal [00:11] using up 100% of my memory [00:11] but hopefully it works ok... i don't pay much attention while its burning, so that may be normal Chaos2358 [00:11] Kruppt, I am actually doing it right now but with 3000+ files it seems to hang up. Or maybe it is still "working". Dont know [00:11] whats the shortcut key to launch Gedit? [00:11] KM0201, yea thats cool [00:11] How can I diagnose this? On htop I get like 12% memory usage overall(on files clickable) and it shows 100% at top [00:12] ok thanks a lot itaylor57 [00:12] bye [00:12] luxurymode: i'm not sure there is one [00:12] hey some one can answer to my quest plox?hi to all some one for a little help??? My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened! [00:12] is there any way to see what the most recent package i installed was? [00:13] KM0201: any way to just open the default text editor? [00:13] Hello... Can anyone point me towards a virus software that's free and downloadable? [00:13] luxurymode: application/accessories/text editor? [00:13] and that I can scan for viruses on my own with [00:13] Mary-Jane: viruses? on linux? huh? [00:13] I have a very very bad trojan that will not allow my graphics to work and I need a fix very fast. [00:13] alpha: that many will certainly take a while to encode, could be hangin on a bad file? [00:14] Mary-Jane: on ubuntu? [00:14] all I know is when I'm trying to watch a youtube video it says usable ram can't find 17 bytes === Omegared is now known as ]k[^Omegadoom [00:14] Mary-Jane: that sounds like an "error" not a "virus" [00:14] and on htop it shows my ram capped and the files I can see only use up 20% max [00:14] luxurymode: you can probably had one easily enough if you want to. [00:14] I can guarentee you it's a trojan because I watched me get it yesterday [00:15] I was browsing 4chan and clicked a link that people later explained as a trojan and ever since my ram's been capped [00:15] ahh i found it, the command i ran that messed my whole system up was: sudo aptitude install libnotify-bin [00:15] Mary-Jane: print screen htop for us [00:15] Mary-Jane: are you familiar with NoScript, Adblock, and FlashBlock scripts for Mozilla Firefox? I suggest you install all three. [00:15] ezrafree: i thought you said you removed it? [00:16] Mary-Jane: you're making very little sense. You need to take a few minutes and collect your thoughts. Then summarize exactly what your issue is on exactly ONE line. If you have logs or errors that you want to share include them in a pastebin [00:16] well that doesn't really help me now that I can't watch videos... [00:16] KM0201: i did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade first [00:16] how do I diagnose a virus on Ubuntu? [00:16] Mary-Jane: easiest way, download avast from avast.com (register it), then scan your windows partition w/ it... [00:16] KM0201: now i've removed it but it didn't offer to put everything back :( [00:16] KM0201: who said she's using windows... lol [00:16] ezrafree: thats pretty normal [00:17] Mary-Jane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:17] ejv: that was the impression i got. [00:17] KM0201: yeah, true... just sucks, i guess [00:17] I don't use windows tbh... I am using GNOME with Wine compatibility [00:17] start reading [00:18] And we never did see that screenshot of htop [00:18] Mary-Jane: whatever your issue is, it's unlikely a virus that was caused by you clicking a link9(under ubuntu) [00:18] hey if anyone wants a screen shot of my htop [00:18] send me a page [00:18] if you can help [00:18] we're on the edge of our seats waiting for one mary :) [00:18] Mary-Jane: post a screenshot here [00:18] Mary-Jane: it doesn't work that way, you just post the screenshot and if someone can help, they will [00:18] wtf is an htop?

[00:22] Mary-Jane: where are you getting this error exactly? [00:22] ask your host to increase the memory limit in php.ini [00:22] that's on my browser when I try watching a video [00:22] Mary-Jane: what video? where? [00:22] Mary-Jane is getting this via wine if I remember right [00:23] why name would someone watch video through wine... sounds excruciating [00:23] hi [00:23] s/name// [00:23] anyones got Wikileaks irc? [00:23] ejv: we don't really worry about that [00:23] laurodi: #wikileaks, obviously [00:23] did you try #wikileaks [00:24] off..;/ [00:24] okay [00:24] I just got a call... [00:24] jrib it happens with every video I try [00:24] and yes the graphics on wine ARE excrutiating [00:24] Mary-Jane: you should probably try #wine then [00:24] does apt-get have a log file where i can see which packages it removed earlier? [00:24] Mary-Jane: you aren't answering my question [00:24] I tried terminaling php.ini and I didn't get anything [00:24] so i can try putting them all back [00:25] jrib my interenst crashed [00:25] I can only see very little lines I missed [00:25] hmm #wine doesn't exist, wonder where they hang out... [00:25] what video??? === Hero_of_Mordor is now known as Hero_on_the_hunt [00:25] let me find one without porn on it [00:25] Mary-Jane: if what others say is correct and this is a php error, then it's a server-side issue... [00:25] wiki doenst response...;// [00:25] ejv: #winehq ? [00:25] shcherbak: cool beans [00:25] well I don't even have a php.ini file.... [00:25] And I'm currently for the better part up to date [00:26] with 10.04 [00:26] Mary-Jane: of course not, you aren't the server [00:26] or w/e [00:26] guys?.. [00:26] Then how do I have it increase memory? [00:26] (I only have 512 mb as is) [00:26] Mary-Jane: you need to answer my question before we can help you. [00:26] needed indeed wiki irc A? [00:27] are you sure you're not trolling us... [00:27] be honest :) [00:27] laurodi: off topic, but, wikipedia.org is responding for me just fine [00:27] jrib... what question? [00:27] You really want me to post a link to a porn site in here??? really???? [00:27] *Sighs* [00:27] no im not... wikeleaks.. irc ;) [00:27] Mary-Jane: PM it to me [00:27] yep, Mary-Jane is a troll [00:27] Mary-Jane: you said all videos. Surely that includes one that's not porn. [00:27] ezrafree: /var/log/apt/term.log [00:27] Hah [00:27] laurodi: sounds off topic to me [00:27] need some info thats all [00:28] If only you knew my lifestyle. [00:28] thanks Kruppt [00:28] ezrafree: i know srry.. [00:28] Mary-Jane: i work in a max security prison, nothing you show me is probably not something i've not saw a gazillion times [00:28] 512MB for gnome, wine and firefox?! [00:29] Mary-Jane: thats an error, not a link [00:29] That's the error I get at the link [00:29] Mary-Jane: gimme the link [00:29] otak: The 512 [00:29] Has nothing to do with gnome, wine or firefox [00:29] is it normal to have both aptitude and apt-get installed? [00:29] it's not a corrupt link... [00:29] Mary-Jane: so what is your issue, you're just dying to see it or what [00:30] Yes. [00:30] Well... I just want it fixed tbh [00:30] w/e my problem is [00:30] I went to some stupid link yesterday that wanted you to click a picture of a hot chick 200 times to see her naked [00:30] Mary-Jane: i've seen no evidence that your system has any problem. an error on a remote website has nothing to do with your system. [00:30] and apparently it turbo charged my ram into 100% range [00:31] I get the feeling this is a troll. [00:31] Let me try more sites.... I can't live without porn... you know. [00:31] Mary-Jane: stop. If you can't provide a sfw example, then we can't help you. [00:31] Just a feeling! [00:31] definitely a troll [00:31] hey, I'm trying to fix an issue with nvidia drivers not remembering my desired resolution for the monitor. Any advice? [00:31] Two9A: so do i lol, called it ten minutes ago [00:31] writn some info that why i need it.. [00:31] Mary-Jane: when i remove the actual video link, and go tot he homepage, and click a video, none of the videos work [00:31] ejv: I only just got back from poking my TV card with a stick some more [00:31] I can set it, try to write to xorg.conf, and on reboot it's back to 640x480 [00:31] Mary-Jane: kill fash or anything which looks as such! (and stop it, not that funny) [00:32] Okay so if they don't work for you [00:32] they don't work altogether.... [00:32] *flash* [00:32] They worked on my old operating system :( [00:32] Mary-Jane: correct, it doesn't mean you have a virus [00:32] humph try... hold ALT and press F2 then type gksu nvidia-settings [00:32] that was my best site too.. [00:32] iflema: k sec [00:32] But then how do I lower my ram usage? [00:32] on Htop it shows me capping ram nearly 24/7 other tiems maybe 95% use [00:32] ezrafree: i have both installed and use apt-get only, have used aptitude a few times in certain binds,..but from what I understand you are to use one or the other exclusively [00:33] Mary-Jane: there's a million sites, for virtually any fettish, if thats the best you can find... you probably need to work on yoru google-foo [00:33] I do! [00:33] They were sooo young though... [00:33] and so fair skinned [00:33] :( [00:33] Mary-Jane: this channel is only for ubuntu support. Move on. [00:33] Kruppt: maybe that's what messed me up so badly, the command i ran (recommended from a website to fix my problem with thunderbird) was an aptitude command [00:34] Mary-Jane: htop (install) and sort by memory useage then F9 to kill, try also metacity --replace [00:34] Mary-Jane: go troll somewhere else [00:34] iflema: k, yeah been in there a bunch. that's where I'm setting it [00:34] Hey... I /b/trollin. Not it/r/crollin [00:35] the gksudo should make the settings save... [00:35] humph the gksudo should make the settings save... [00:35] alright, I'll reboot and see if it took [00:35] brb [00:37] ezrafree: yeah, you generally have to stick with one or the other otherwise things get hosed [00:37] Kruppt: *sigh* is there any way to fix this? [00:39] would it be best if i uninstalled aptitude? [00:39] how do you search for a file in the current directory and subdirectories under it? [00:39] iflema: no difference -- it works there, seems to see all my proper settings, then on reboot, back to 640x480 [00:39] Hi so if my computer has integrated speakers in the monitor... how do I get my computer to recognize them and use it for audio? [00:39] Nicolas_Leonidas: ls [00:40] Nicolas_Leonidas: ls -R | grep filename [00:40] Nicolas_Leonidas: use "find" [00:40] Mary-Jane: your monitor cable will have an audio jack.. plug it into the the speaker port [00:40] Nicolas_Leonidas: You can use find [00:40] ezrafree: I have not used aptitude in sometime, so I would have to read up on the matter myself [00:41] humph when you gksudo the change settings, make sure not to *merge* but overwrite previous settings.... and click apply... [00:41] Nicolas_Leonidas: find . -name 'foo*' [00:41] iflema: yeah, did that [00:41] I like the command locate [00:41] Nicolas_Leonidas: locate is looking in a db, though, careful [00:41] Nicolas_Leonidas: but that doesn't do what you asked [00:42] is there a way to make locate search for the file in current directory? [00:42] iflema: it's as though it is ignoring what the driver is writing out to xorg.conf [00:42] Nicolas_Leonidas: sorry, (apart of find) i made mistake, should be ls -lR | grep filename [00:44] iflema: any other thoughts? I'm not sure what to try next. the xorg.conf looks like this: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/890676 [00:45] Nicolas_Leonidas: Using wildcats with locate --> /home/mine/*/filename [00:46] wildcards ;P [00:46] any other xorg.conf folks around?

It's much better supported [01:00] thanks... brb [01:01] no go [01:01] Does anyone know how I could go about finding what's wrong with Google Earth? I'm a really new user, and I've tried reinstalling it, with no avail. [01:01] It gave me Checks next to each box like it was happy [01:01] mikel: I will try with OpenSUSE :) !

[01:02] Nicolas_Leonidas: Is this message italicized? [01:02] HELLO GENTLEMEN [01:02] Any slapd experts in the house? [01:02] I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP tree on my Ubuntu 10.04 server, following the instructions given at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html. I've added the cosine, nis and inetorgperson schemas, and built a backend ldif file as specified in the helpfile, and when i invoked ldapadd on the backend file, it seemed to work fine. But then when I attempt to add the frontend file as the next step, I'm pr [01:02] Nicolas_Leonidas: fwiw though, mine doesn't come up in italics.. so its obviously a setting in chatzilla [01:02] rww: nope [01:02] rww: Down at the progress bar it said "Ready when you are..." but there was nothing more to fill in. It was happy with all my enteries. [01:03] ompted for an LDAP password, and using the one I specified in the backend file doesn't seem to work; I get "ldap_bind: Confidentiality required (13)" [01:03] rww: I hit back to see if I missed something on another screen... everythign looked good [01:03] KM0201: when you said prefers audacious for listening to music.. [01:03] Guest73344: You installed from the official Google deb file? [01:03] it was shown italic [01:03] Guest73344: ok... what version of google earth, and how did you install it [01:03] SubstreamAI: What's the username you gave it? [01:03] KM0201: what's the feature called in your app? [01:03] * Jordan_U thinks that Nicolas_Leonidas is referring to how KM0201 used /me. [01:03] * Nicolas_Leonidas thinks Jordan_U is right [01:03] Nicolas_Leonidas: i have o idea, it's not a feature i enabled, it's clearly on your end [01:04] hi, how can I make untrusted packages to be installable. Now I get an error saying requested untrusted package [01:04] rww: I made sure the network was enabled, and now its stuck saying "Getting the time from a network server" [01:04] * shcherbak wonders [01:04] Is it possible to call terminal commands from Python? for example, get a string, send it to terminal, print output? [01:04] when I try to install some packages [01:04] * Nicolas_Leonidas hates explaining the unexplainables [01:04] I installed the Google-Earth-Stable_Current_i386.deb is the name of the file, and I did download it from the google website. [01:04] * KM0201 rarely thinks Jordan_U is wrong [01:04] :) [01:04] rww, and its just sitting there, way longer than it should if it would time out eventually [01:04] soroush: You need to add the public key for the repository. [01:04] rww, says "Your Name" and I put charles [01:04] I can install untrusted packages through terminal but not GUI [01:04] soroush: What repository are you trying to download from? [01:04] tchebb: how can I do it_ [01:04] Guest73344: ok... and when you type googleearth and hit enter, it says command not found? [01:05] * Nicolas_Leonidas hates applications that have a different theme [01:05] brianBTB: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/457798-how-run-shell-commands-within-python does this help? [01:05] * Nicolas_Leonidas like Amarok [01:05] rww: for "Your computer's name" I have athlon-2000 [01:05] Nicolas_Leonidas: so do i ^^ about the themes [01:05] Nicolas_Leonidas: Please move non support related comments to #ubuntu-offtopic. [01:05] rww: but even if I change it to just athlon, the Forward button remains disabled [01:05] tchebb: I donno [01:05] Yes. Command not found. [01:05] Guest73344: hold on, lemme download it and try installing it [01:05] tchebb: I have some repositories enabled [01:05] googleearth: command not found [01:06] Thanks :) [01:06] soroush: What package are you trying to install? [01:06] SubstreamAI: I asked about the username field, not the "Your name" field. [01:06] Guest73344: this is google earth 6... right? 32 or 64bit? [01:06] rww: the last thing the terminal window shows is "switched to page usersetup" [01:06] 32 bit [01:06] tchebb: for example KMonth [01:06] ok [01:07] rww: there is no User Name field... [01:07] SubstreamAI: should look something like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Ubuntu_10.10_Installer.png :\ [01:07] why was i kicked? [01:07] tchebb: even I cannot upgrade through GUI and i have to do sudo apt-get upgrade [01:07] soroush: What GUI are you using, and do you get a warning when you install from the terminal? If you do, paste it here. [01:07] oh, wrong channel, sry [01:07] rww: no, that's exactly what it looks like :) [01:08] SubstreamAI: The third input box down... [01:08] * SubstreamAI is an idiot... so sorry [01:08] has anyone ever installed zend server? [01:08] tchebb: synaptic package manager or Ubuntu sotware center [01:08] mikel, that seems to be a good place to start. [01:08] I can't find the apache .conf file, there is one in /etc/apache2/ but that seems to have nothing to do with what's running on my computer [01:09] tchebb: I have the problem with both of them [01:09] rww: forgive me... I just don't know whats wrong with me. Its not my day. Thanks, :) [01:09] because I remove virtual hosts and they still work, I add new ones and they don't work [01:09] Guest73344: open a terminal and type "google-earth" no quotes, hit enter, and see if you get a "bin not found" error [01:09] yes [01:09] kernel experts, i need help: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10243985#post10243985 [01:09] rww: you seems to have ability to convince people to accept truth very humbly.

[01:12] Guest73344: open a terminal and sudo apt-get install lsb-core it's gonna wanna install about 15-16 packages, let it do it.. then google earth will work [01:13] soroush: Paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste that link here [01:14] ty for the information guampa. Can i do anything to repair it? hdd is not entirely broken or else i could not be here... [01:14] !date [01:14] It's getting the 15-16 packages. I don't know how you guys do it, but one day, I want to. =P [01:14] tchebb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544692/ as you can see just some of them are enabled [01:14] Guest73344: when you have a problematic app... always try to start it in terminal and when it crashes, google the reason it crashes, you'll usually find somene has figured it out... [01:14] Oh, cool. Thanks. [01:14] in this case.. googleearth, doesn't start google earth anymore, google-earth does [01:15] Guest73344: in this case, i just googled the error i got when it tried to start.. and it was the first link google turned up [01:15] hi my ubuntu lost network config, it was using eth0, now it is using eth3, but i only have one network card, and my ubuntu cant ping my router/dhcp or any others computers on the lan [01:15] Excellent.

OTOH i had once a similar problem and was kernel related, i only got rid of it upgrading to a newer kernel from the kernel devs ppa [01:17] tchebb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544694/ [01:18] ok. In this case kernel upgrade won't work... at least from the last one to current [01:19] fmigpaulo: then prolly it's the disk. and yes you may be able to use it semi normally for a while before it kicks [01:19] ty very much [01:19] soroush: I assume you've tried 'sudo apt-get update' [01:19] np [01:19] Guys, just scoping if anyone would be interested, a user made (not official) merger of Back Track and Ubuntu.

[01:21] yes, but it is ubuntu 10.10 [01:21] now and it was 8.* then] [01:21] tchebb: now I have to copy the package lists to install them through terminal and i can't install or upgrade many (maybe any) packages using ubuntu software center [01:22] soroush: Okay. You seem to have the proper signing keys. You can try commenting out the last line in sources.list [01:22] soroush: I'm not sure why it's there. Do you need it for something? [01:23] the GUI on bt is horrid. I like pretty GUI. so pretty... [01:24] tchebb: I did it but the problem is remained [01:24] soroush: Did you run apt'get update after doing it?

[01:29] CakeSwim: i've done some but i don't have an actual device, so i probably can't help you [01:30] why is it always onething in linux that doesnt want to work [01:30] luxurymode, try http://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/06/flash-issues-solutions.html [01:30] damn camera [01:30] ...I followed this: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html but I'm getting ???????? n/a target unkown in Android Device Chooser [01:30] I work at a library and we have two machines that are only used to look up book information by Patrons. I just thought it would be useful only to need a single computer. [01:30] luxurymode, "FlashHacker" is actually a Windows fix for it, but I'm assuming there's one for linux. [01:30] tchebb: I have commented the last line #deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports restricted main multiverse universe [01:30] iszak: right. im using chrome. does that make a diff? [01:30] netbeast: just gotta research your stuff thoroughly... before you buy.. :) [01:30] Honestly not sure. [01:30] there is a separate one for chrome on windows, but not sure about linux. [01:31] ya i mean it says its supported but for some reason no program is picking it up [01:31] it even reads the id off of it [01:31] but i get 2 ghost video dev [01:31] netbeast: well what programs have you tried? [01:31] cheese [01:31] luxurymode, hmm [01:31] what have you tried? [01:31] cheese and mplayer [01:32] cheesy cam booth [01:32] edwinT, interesting, I would create and interface with several microcontrollers wired to the moniters, the HID's and a large hard drive. Then just create a simple program for the unit. Bt it would be a lot harder [01:32] Hi all...any solution for "battery may be old or broken" and a erroneous charge capacity message [01:32] netbeast: and what version of ubuntu?... what hve you tried? [01:32] luxurymode, I'm not sure if that's the answer.. [01:32] 10.10 [01:32] netbeast: for both v4l v4l2 ? [01:32] iszak: actually lemme first see if i have this problem in FF. i just hate FF, i prefer chrome [01:32] brain: I saw the information on Userful, but the setup isn't free.... [01:32] soroush: Also comment out the lucid-backports line and try again [01:32] i just installed it so they say it using gspca [01:33] can U send me the link, edwinT [01:33] it is just my kind of project [01:33] netbeast: oh thats right... i sent you a launchpad link a while ago, did ou do what it said? [01:33] i dont know much about linux so i would think it would just see it [01:33] luxurymode, I don't know if a solution exists tbh now. === richard is now known as rkues [01:33] google around for it is all I can suggest. [01:33] ya nothings working with it [01:33] netbeast: if everything just worked w/ linux, would likely use it over 'doze [01:33] brianBTB: http://www2.userful.com/ [01:33] iszak: strange, i think its a monitor issue bc if i have the video playing on my left monitor and i click to maximize it maximizes on that monitor. its only when im playing on right monitor that it pushes it to the right monitor in fullscreen. [01:34] And how do you message in that manner? I never used IRC in rooms this large... [01:34] shcherbak just put eth3 down, and restart? will bring eth0 back? [01:34] it keeps saying spca but i cant install those drivers but then it says 10.10 uses gspca and the webcam is supported by it [01:34] tchebb: commenting these lines won-t i have problem for udating my hardware drivers(wireless and graphic card)? [01:34] netbeast: ok.. did you do what launchpad said? [01:35] netbeast: adding the repository, etc? [01:35] ya didnt work [01:35] said link is broken or something [01:35] oh ok [01:35] looks sweet. I bet there is a way to do it for less but there will be no free way. [01:35] luxurymode, I doubt it, but possibly. [01:36] iszak: http://goo.gl/BFVGS should i try some of those solutions? [01:36] any solution for "battery may be old or broken" and a erroneous charge capacity message. It is a new battery [01:36] tchebb: anyway the problem was solved. thanks a lot. uncommenting those lines then update then trying to install kmouth package [01:36] too bad i couldnt use wine to get it to work [01:37] bezao: combination sudo ifconfig eth3 && /etc/init.d/networking restart && sudo ifconfig eth0 up <--- should try to force right configuration (have you restarted nm-applet?) [01:37] why is firefox and chrome loading web pages so slowly? ubuntu 10.10 and firefox 3.6.13 [01:37] luxurymode, you can, but I would personally google around, I haven't fixed it in linux only in windows. [01:37] bezao: all with sudo [01:37] not loading slow for me [01:37] ?

[02:26] stOrmBlast: well I found this but try root with no password or admin with no password if that fails then try http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html [02:27] shcherbak worked, let me reboot and see it will still working [02:27] bezao: will not [02:28] hi [02:28] shcherbak yup, it wont, why? [02:29] sacarlson: i try with my root password but nothin, and try without passwrod and nothing, i will see the link [02:29] how do i remove a user [02:30] PeterFabinski deluser --help [02:30] PeterFabinski: System>admin>Users and groups>delete [02:30] bezao: thanks [02:31] PeterFabinski: bezao: and that's good too [02:32] shcherbak why it wont work? [02:32] bezao: open your network manger and check Auto eth0 in wired tab [02:34] shcherbak i cant, its ubuntu-server :D [02:34] all by the console [02:34] how do i turn off that intro thing when i start a screen session? [02:35] bezao: one second, (no clue how to do it) need to search. [02:35] shcherbak okay, hehe [02:35] shiro, menu-systems-preference-startup applications [02:35] shcherbak tell what are you trying to find, let me search too [02:35] shiro: you mean the grub flash before boot? or the audio at start of gnome login, or you don't want to have to login? auto login? [02:35] thx [02:36] bezao: my network back up files ;) [02:36] shcherbak okay, hehe [02:36] sacarlson: its "screen" which is a program [02:37] i have an old installation of seaangel installed on a computer i don't have physical access to, and when I try to upgrade: "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] [02:37] " [02:37] shiro: well I see there is a man screen [02:37] how can i upgrade this old version to something newish?

[02:45] THere?????????/// [02:46] kanthbc: does this mean you don't have a working cd drive or usb port and a usb flash disk? [02:46] installing ubuntu 10.10 netbook on my laptop and am on the screen for user set up and the forward button is disabled [02:46] there is no error. so i have no idea what to do [02:46] yeah exactly [02:47] Hi,I wonder why desktop softwares writen in java are so few especially in multimedia software? [02:47] chi: enter the username lower case [02:47] YiMing, slow? [02:47] hi guys i have a few simple questions about ubuntu.. can anybody helpme? [02:47] itaylor57, thanks that fixed it [02:47] somebody1, perhaps [02:47] np [02:47] kanthbc: but you have another system you can plug this disk into to load it up that does have a cd drive or working system running on it? [02:48] somebody1: go on! [02:48] no [02:48] i could of sat here all day with no idea wtf was going on [02:48] craigbass1976: Indeed.The startup time is really slow.But maybe it's ok after startup,I think. [02:48] why is the hardware channel invite only ? I have a hardware question about wifi on acer notebook [02:48] lal [02:49] kanthbc: then how can you put any data on this hdd without a path to program it? [02:49] x404x, which acer and or which card [02:49] well i have hdd and ubuntu and xp installed to it [02:49] kanthbc: I would look into doing a pxeboot install [02:49] YiMing, I'm biased I guess... My latest adventure in java software has been colored. There are memory leaks (or something) all over the place. The longer I use it, the slower it gets. [02:49] somebody1, what do you want to know? [02:49] I have acer 5044 nwlmi and cannot turn on wifi or bluetooth, tooth is installed and not detected and no wifi can be turned on, Drivers install ok and windows says the card is fine [02:50] but no networs are found the lights in front are off, cannot turn on the buttons [02:50] kanthbc: ok so you can boot this hdd in windows? is that working? [02:50] yeah [02:50] x404x, this may sound dumb, but is there a button you press to get the wifi on? I've been bit by that before [02:50] do i need a specific card for the acer or is any card compatible ? [02:50] I have 3 diff cards here [02:51] kanthbc: and you don't have a usb flash disk? so I guess you will have to try wubi installer [02:51] yes there is but nothing happens , so i suspect either i need a specific card for this model or the mainboard has a defect === hunterm is now known as route_to_host === route_to_host is now known as hunterm [02:52] will this acer support an intel 2100 bc card ? i also have a 2200 but same result [02:52] 3rd card i dunno model [02:53] HEy i dont want to install it like a program inside windows [02:53] craigbass1976: Really? sounds terrible.Actually i am just a end user,and i didn't know something like mem leaks.yes,maybe that is the real reason. [02:53] HEY i tried this http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [02:53] !wubi | kanthbc [02:53] kanthbc: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [02:53] kanthbc: it's not but it will mount virtual partitions inside your windows partitions. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer [02:54] hm well i dunno, im a bit stumped. both cards i have drivers for look fine and i also tryed disabling or enabling, no dice, pushing buttons does nothing and connecting gives me no network , antennas are connected and i have a 100% signal [02:54] YiMing, it's no java's fault, just bad programming. Java is notorious for being a bit slow though. I've written php scripts that do some of the same things as the java app I'm talking about, and it's way faster [02:54] hi === jwkokc is now known as jk__ [02:54] heyyeah thats what im trying to tell i dont want to use it inside windows partiotion [02:54] linda_, howdy [02:54] also installing bluetooth drivers says device not detected [02:54] x404x, with a quick look at google I see others with problems there is a internal ard correct what is it [02:55] perhaps only the atheros crap they ship will work with it ? [02:55] card === jk__ is now known as jk_ [02:55] paste the out pur of lspci in paste bin [02:56] hi [02:56] i just had one of them fail in a brand new aspire one 150 and luckyli found an old intel card from a dead board that worked [02:56] x404x, sorry forgot to put you name in paste the output of lspci in the termional to pastebin [02:56] anybody? [02:56] whats lspci ? [02:57] an ububu program ? === root is now known as Guest39418 [02:57] x404x, it is a terminal command that will identify the hardware, and make you a cup of coffee. ;) [02:57] wow i prefer tea tho, is there a command for tea with sugar ? [02:58] i already know the hardware for two cards and have the correct drivers [02:58] x404x, sorry this is open source its caffeine here. [02:58] kanthbc: well without any other media to start from that's my only suggestion, but after you install the wubi version you could then use that as a point to install it to another real partition or even chroot into another partition outside window file system [02:58] but i think think the acer disables if the lights are off [02:58] craigbass1976: i guess j2se will not have a bright future in desktop software programming. [02:58] !hi [02:58] ok thanks [02:58] kanthbc, you mean without a cdrom or usb stick? [02:58] so either the mainboard is broken i think or only support certain cards i suspect [02:58] yeah [02:58] If I have a Win7 Recovery disc and system image discs, do I need a Win7 recovery partition? [02:59] kanthbc, windows 7 ? [02:59] x404x, my acer asipre one I never look at the lights it wasn't desingned to run open source nor visa versa [02:59] no [02:59] xp [02:59] bucky: and no other system to use to netboot liek pxeboot kanthbc [02:59] kanthbc, hmmm... google it I found one for 7 http://www.harddiskdriverepair.com/upgrade/how-to-install-ubuntu-from-hard-disk-drive-in-the-win-7-without-cd-rom.html [02:59] inphernal, just wipe it. Clean off that windows 7 install while you're at it. :) [02:59] i see many have same problem also, acer doesnt have a clue what random card they put in so the user has to search for the correct driver themselves [02:59] x404x, I think it needs a tweak i probably don't know [02:59] x404x, what's the model number? [02:59] since acer uses random stuff more than one card should work [03:00] Haha I would but I'm still just learning my way around with Ubuntu [03:00] x404x, of the computer [03:00] so maybe my mainboard has a defekt ? not suppling all the signals or something [03:00] Is the recovery partition just the same thing as my system image discs? [03:00] inphernal, it'll be fun! so long as oyu don't game much... [03:00] hello. what can i use in ubuntu to find specs of the computer i am using? [03:00] 5044nwlmi [03:00] acer aspire [03:00] hey i got this for xp http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [03:00] inphernal, sometimes it is [03:00] Ah but I do, and I havn't figure out Wine yet haha [03:00] inphernal, should be [03:00] but iam not quite getting it [03:00] Ok, thanks [03:01] x404x, awww I htought I could help you. I've got the 5517 and there's a 5516 sitting here to at the moment; wireless works on both. [03:01] do they have those buttons ? [03:01] x404x, my aspire one has always worked /Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 010 this is from the lspci command on my setup [03:01] inphernal, with my dell netbook, the XP disc is just a normal XP disc, except it only works when a dell BIOS is present. the recovery partition on the hard drive had all the dell-branded bloatware [03:01] so they were different in that case [03:02] hello. what can i use in ubuntu to find specs of the computer i am using? [03:02] jacobson: lshw [03:02] Yeah, I'm on a Toshiba laptop, didn't come with a recovery disk though, so I bad one when I first set Win7 up and made a system image while I was at it [03:02] jacbsytem monitor system tab [03:03] Ubuntu 10.10, I've tried purging mysql-server & mysql-client and re-installing, but every time I get this error: [03:03] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [03:03] Just wanted to be sure getting rid of that partition wouldn't leave me without a way to recover Win7 should I need it [03:03] How can I make ubuntu recognize my synaptics touchpad. Xinput shows the PS/2 Synaptics Touchpad, but I dont have any touchpad settings available to me [03:03] jacobson, system monitor systems tab [03:03] ubuntu thinks its a mouse not a touchpad [03:03] dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb [03:03] dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [03:03] what's wrong? [03:03] does the button / light depend on correct driver installed or the card working ? [03:03] how do i fix that anyone? [03:03] Romeo5k, sudo [03:03] I have had cards where the rf fails , it seems to work fine but not find any nets [03:04] inphernal, would you like a free legal recovery disc not the install but recovery [03:04] i doubt all 3 cards i have are dead tho [03:04] crap [03:04] thnx faustisch [03:04] having trouble sharing my wifi with my ethernet port; advice?

[03:04] inphernal, well the recovery disks *should* work, i guess you wouldn't know until you tried them. you also have the option of making an image of the hard drive, thats what i did. used Clonezilla, so i can return it to factory default if i ever want to sell it [03:05] nit-wit, I would appreciate that [03:05] x404x, there's a button just above the center of the keywoard [03:05] breadcrumb, I do have an image of the whole system, right post-setup [03:06] those 4 buttons are just keyboard shortcuts [03:06] inphernal, this is just a disc to boot to get to a repair recovery situation. http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ [03:06] the buttons to turn on or off are in front next to mic-ear jacks [03:06] inphernal, your set if you have a image you can load it with this disc [03:06] Ok, thank you nit-wit, I'll burn one of those just in case [03:07] Coolio, thank you =] [03:07] kanthbc: if your not getting that then best stay with your skill levels and stick with wubi for now. also it might be posible from the wubi install to use startup-disk-creator to install a installer on the hard drive. it seems the startup-disk-creator doesn't care what kind of a disk it is [03:07] x404x: rtkill list [03:07] inphernal, I have my images on a HD so I use the recovery to load from there. [03:07] never mind thanks [03:08] hello..does anyone know how to fix lxdmconf? it gives me errors when trying to start it as root.

[03:09] GaryD how did you install it? [03:10] maybe i need to google more if different cards can work and if there is a fix if the light is dead, my ligh never gives a flicker ;( [03:10] Romeo5k: yes you must use sudo to do an install [03:10] nick partyboy25 [03:10] nick helo [03:10] I‘m looking for a alternative emule client,because amule was really slow in my pc and mldonky was too complex.anyone can recommend some for me? [03:10] what is mean by hit in update???? [03:10] bucky: from the lxde/lubuntu ppa === partyboy_25 is now known as partyboy25 [03:11] ah.... good [03:11] hey guys- [03:11] got a question [03:11] x404x: check hardware on drivers providers (as long as it is open source) all capabilites should be listed there. [03:11] luckily im about 300 yards from the asian acer headquarters, they hopefully know the problem [03:12] bucky: any ideas? [03:13] how do I get my Netgear WNR2000v2 wireless router to connect with ubuntu 10.04 [03:13] normally it would just pop up and i could connect to it but i dont know how [03:14] GaryD so when you sudo lxdmconf you get errors? [03:15] anyone? [03:15] J381: can you be more specific, "normally" with Ubuntu? [03:16] like when i used old versions of ubuntu on my desktop the main modem connected immediately [03:16] need ddrescue help... I used to use ddrescue /dev/cdrom ~/Desktop/out.iso ~/Desktop/out.log, but that doesn't work anymore. Did the /dev/cdrom path change in 10.10? [03:16] J381: ok, you gnome? [03:16] now with my laptop i dont know how to get 10.04 to connect [03:17] shcherbak: im using windows atm so i dont now [03:17] oh yes gnome desktop [03:17] bucky: sorry...yes. i get errors. [03:17] J381: let me virtualise, on top panel you will see set of icons... [03:18] yes [03:18] When making a partition for Ubuntu, to dual boot with Windows, do I make it a primary or logical partition? [03:18] inphernal: usually primary. [03:18] inphernal: it's probably easier to partition the drive while installing though, rather than do it before hand [03:19] but it realy doesn't matter [03:19] Ok, I want to split it into /home and / and use FSdrive in Windows [03:19] just installed Ubuntu LTS, installed hanged at "wiping swap space" screen. So rebooted and everything seems to work. Am I good to go? Or did I miss something after the swap space wipe? [03:19] Should those be ext3? [03:19] And yes, I am doing it through the installer [03:19] J381: find network manager icon and click on it... [03:19] okay [03:20] does anyone know how to send a mail message with alpine with file foo as the message?? I only need the command. My alpine is configured. [03:20] inphernal: usually ext4... i don't buy into the craziness of /home on a separate partition, but whatever tickles your fancy [03:20] again im in windows so i will do this when i switch over [03:20] do I have to re-install again? [03:20] J381: you looking foll edit connection item [03:20] inphernal: I would just delete the partition before install and follow most the defaults ubuntu gives you, the added /home option sounds ok [03:21] SSD question: The last time I used 10.10 on an SSD the hardware failed. The corrupted everything had to return it, this was like 3 months ago or so. Now i installed 10.10 on another SSD and the hardware SSD failed AGAIN! does unbuntu 10.10 not good with SSD's ??? [03:21] okay shcherbak what do i do [03:21] then === lap_dragon is now known as _______________ [03:22] hey odd question here. Any known reason why when going to the "about ubuntu" in the system menu the webpage it brings up seems to thilnk I'm using 11.04? [03:22] instead of 10.10? [03:22] J381: panel -> network manager -> edit connection (you should open window) [03:22] I know for sure I dind't upgrade to any beta [03:22] delaman: well ssd have a limited write life, I wonder if ubuntu is writing at some high interval? [03:22] just noticed and thought it odd [03:22] elpiratedechron: wel, are you using 11.04? [03:22] ......... [03:22] sacarlson: the first one lasted like 2 hours, this last one like 3 weeks [03:22] Is there any [yahoo + Gmail + Hotmail] “widget” notifier? [03:22] please read what I said [03:23] I installed Avast Anti Virus for Linux and every time (after I install it) I reboot or shutdown the Avast Icon from the Applications/Accessories/ is not there anymore I am using ubuntu 10.04 [03:23] I know I didn't upgrade to any beta [03:23] elpiratedechron: wel,l you never know [03:23] i'm using 10.10 [03:23] ive done that shcherbak and put in the passcode and such which my router used [03:23] whcih it says upon boot and shutdown [03:23] sacarlson: im running 9.10 right now flawlessly for like 3 months now. [03:23] but it never connects [03:23] White-Horse: just use evolution it rocks === dw-_ is now known as dw- [03:23] seems like a glitch in the process that checks ver number to mer [03:23] delaman: well I guess you can look at iotop and get an idea of what trafic is put on your ssd device. I can't imagin it could kill it that quick [03:23] or maybe a one time fluke I"ll try relaoding [03:24] White-Horse: do you have to reinstall it, or is it just the icon is gone? can you run it from terminal? === bjames is now known as Guest18311 [03:24] oh I guess it's not a web page [03:24] White-Horse: its got a toolbar notifier what else do ya need.... :) [03:24] just sorta looks like one it's just the about page [03:24] no.. it's not a webpage [03:24] wer broswer [03:24] J381: ok, what you using WPA or WEP? [03:24] er* [03:24] WPA [03:24] if you're stupid and don't pay attention [03:24] sacarlson: what is this "iotop" ive never heard of it and i dont know how to read the output :( [03:24] I just couldn't remember what the code name for 10.10 was so I went to look [03:24] J381: you sure? [03:24] delaman: at what mount point did you put this ssd that died in 10.10? [03:24] and it said the wrong version === andrew_ is now known as Guest8621 [03:25] wpa2-personal [03:25] KM0201 I see .avast folder but no way to start and the icon is gone far as i know [03:25] sacarlson: mount point? the default one the installer uses [03:25] who is this [03:25] delaman: try man iotop or google it. it will display the trafic to io devices === _______________ is now known as lap_dragon [03:25] I'm not set to install any non final upgrades though :\ === lap_dragon is now known as _______________ [03:26] J381: change apropirately in security tab (wireless conection -> edit) [03:26] delaman: does that include the swap partition? [03:26] sacarlson: yes [03:26] J381: in tab Ipv4 set Automatic [03:26] what do you mean shcherbak ? [03:26] delaman: well that might kill it in some short time if you put alot of trafic on swap [03:27] sacarlson: so you recommend doing away with swap? [03:27] anyone has some usefull information about the openBSD backdoor? [03:27] and when I run "cat /etc/issue" [03:27] it clearly says 10.10 [03:27] so wtf? [03:27] delaman: well I would analize were the trafic might be coming from before makeing any judgment [03:27] thats so a glitch [03:27] Hi. Could anyone point me to a website with directions on how to have an internal HDD mount on boot up/log in? [03:28] sacarlson: im on a SSD with 9.10 it seems fine. The problem is with 10.10. I'm scared im just going to trash ANOTHER 60GB SSD. [03:28] delaman: and if not much trafic can be seen maybe it's just bad hardware [03:28] J381: in window of network manager (title Network Connections) go to Wireless [03:28] sacarlson: but TWO SSD's ? [03:28] ok [03:28] J381: Pick your network and press edit [03:29] delaman: ya and one it two hours? you can analize trafic on 10.10 without the ssd to verify [03:29] elpiratedechron: what does uname -a return [03:29] forteller most times its an external HDD why internal one ? grub takes care of the boot up [03:29] Every time I do a clean install I have to put a line of text into a config file (fstab?) to get this working. And every time I use a _lot_ og time just to find a page that tells me what line of text, making me incredibly frustrated. [03:29] sacarlson: not sure i understand completely your last sentence :( [03:30] itaylor57: O_o [03:30] the kernel version [03:30] lol [03:30] delaman: try 10.10 on a system that has no ssd like normal hdd and do the measurment with iotop or other there [03:30] sacarlson got cha [03:31] forteller: ok.. so... copy that line of text to a file, and keep it somewhere(with your backups?) when you have to reinstall, just copy/paste it from there.. maybe even put the instructions in the file, so you don't have to google [03:31] well not just the kernel [03:31] sacarlson: thanks [03:31] but that seems to be all that's important there [03:31] it also shows my username and some other stuff [03:31] White-Horse: I have two internal HDDs. One with Ubuntu on, obviously, and the other is just extra space. But that second HDD never mounts automatically on boot unless I put the right line of text into the right config file [03:31] but anyway the about ubuntu still seems to be broke, at least for me [03:31] anybody else wanna test that and see if it's returning 11.04 with most up to date 10.10? [03:32] not that it really matters I just am curious if it's just me [03:32] in the system menu [03:32] ok hold on forteller one sec [03:32] KM0201: Yes, I'll do that this time. I'm annoyed with myself for not having done that before [03:32] forteller: lol [03:32] White-Horse: Thanks! === s is now known as Guest85909 [03:32] forteller: i have a very detaild file w/ my backups detailing how i've set up several things [03:32] KM0201: :) [03:33] program configurations, etc [03:33] Hi any wireless gurus here? [03:33] elpiratedechron: I get the same response [03:33] hu [03:33] so it IS broke [03:33] I DEMAND IT BE FIXED >:o [03:33] * elpiratedechron rages [03:33] KM0201: Sounds like a good idea! [03:33] elpiratedechron: yep [03:33] hello. I have installed ubuntu on one hdd, and windows on another one. Now, how would I add windows to the grub2? [03:33] although I do like it thinking I"m using a version that's not out yet [03:33] makes me feel l33t [03:34] well... not offcially out [03:34] Ok, i am in Python terminal, trying to import TkInter, it is saying that it does not exist, and that i need to install the python-tk package, where do i get this? [03:34] Milossh: I think it's like sudo grub-update [03:34] also, im new to this, so any help would be nice [03:34] forteller go here for step by step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498130 [03:34] Milossh: if you had installed them the other way around it would have helped you do it automatically :p [03:34] I just don't get why not all internal HDDs are mounted automatically, or why there at least isn't a really easy way of turning that on. [03:35] but there should be a command similar to sacarlson's that does it too [03:35] :) [03:35] Bazz: sudo apt-get install python-tk [03:35] anyway thanks for checking that itaylor57, see you all later :D [03:35] is there a way I can take the wireless network drivers from a live usb and transfer them to my installed version? [03:35] sacarlson: no working, unknown command [03:35] i usually do alt-f2 and type conky &. what do i type inside of "startup programs" in order to launch conky ? [03:36] It seems like after upgrading my webcam is slow an unresponsive alot. [03:37] joe, i am sorry, what? sudo? again i am very new to the ubuntu system, i have no exp with it, or any of its terms yet, i have been using it for about 1hr now [03:37] Milossh: sorry try sudo update-grub [03:38] White-Horse: Thanks a lot! But that was a lot of instructions. I'm used to only having to add 1 line into a config file, as I mentioned. But this might be a better way to do it? Gnome Do/Synapse doesn't normally support doing anything with any files on my second HDD, maybe this will fix that? [03:38] sacarlson: works like a charm: Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 [03:38] sacarlson: thanks dude [03:39] Milossh: cool maybe I will get it correct the first time next time [03:39] Bazz: open a terminal, Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type this command; sudo apt-get install python-tk [03:39] ok, thank you. [03:39] does anyone know how can i change the right click >>"open with" form [03:39] it takes a really long time [03:39] to find the aplications [03:40] forteller its only 5 steps and it will always auto mount your 2nd HDD and give you owner rights to that drive so you can do anything you want with it [03:40] White-Horse: Alright. I'll give it a try. Thanks again! :) [03:40] forteller you only have to do this 1 time [03:40] k-rad: rather add conky to user crontab [03:41] thank you JoeMaverickSett, it worked [03:41] after that it will auto mount every time you boot up [03:41] Bazz: no problem, glad it worked. :) [03:41] k-rad: sleep 20 && conky & <-- looks good just add absolute paths [03:42] your are welcome forteller [03:42] White-Horse: :) [03:42] I terminated (Ctrl +c) imediately while executing apt-get install, now I can not enter it again, gives lock file error. removing /var/cache/apt/archives/lock does not help. [03:43] okay shcherbak what do i do [03:43] The two line error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:43] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:43] wqapol_: sudo apt-get install -f [03:43] i just tried setting up the network with the information you gave but it didnt work [03:43] wqapol_: do you have something else open running root? [03:43] can you query me a set of instructions? [03:43] shcherbak: stillt he same error [03:43] J381: panel > network icon > edit connections [03:43] okay [03:43] then [03:44] J381: No, at the moment i have noly i console runnning [03:44] J381: in new (opened) window go to wireless [03:44] then [03:44] J381: pick your network and Edit [03:44] what network? [03:45] J381: your wireless you want to connect to.# [03:45] J381: is there any? [03:45] thats the thing- one doesnt show up unless i create it using "create network" [03:45] KM0201: shcherbak closing and reopening the terminal did the job [03:46] wqapol_: noted, thx [03:46] J381: no, [03:46] wqapol_: yeah, he probably had two terminals running root. [03:46] KM0201: No I only had a single temrinal session [03:46] J381: click on ison to have list of networks, and try to connect. [03:47] there are no networks that show up [03:47] wqapol_: well, that error only shows up when two things are trying to run root commands.. so something else had root locked [03:47] wqapol_: do you want to paste revelant auth entries? [03:48] KM0201: But you see, I only had to reopne the terminal to get things working again. [03:48] J381: ? What is written in menu under Wireless networks? [03:48] KM0201: could be running a background root app [03:48] shcherbak: sure, but what do i need to do? [03:48] possible [03:48] nothing [03:48] wqapol_: i am just curious... no need. [03:49] itaylor57: Yeah, but I immediately trerminated while doing apt-get install. At that exact moment it was fetching the package list [03:49] J381: ok, panel > icon... just right-click... [03:49] to edit connections [03:49] yes [03:50] Computer seems to be running slower than normal [03:50] Any clue why this might be? [03:50] J381: two entries: Enable Networking and Enable Wireless, both should have a tick [03:50] have you installed anything lately? [03:51] Nobodyspecial: have u installed anything lately? [03:51] okay [03:51] nope [03:51] hmmm, what does it do? just go slow? [03:51] KM0201: or he clicked Ctrl-z [03:51] Should all my files in /var/www/ be owned by root or am I doing something wrong? [03:52] J381: so, both enabled? [03:52] what then [03:52] I click on something, and it loads slower than it used to [03:52] when i switch to ubuntu i will try again [03:52] im in windows atm [03:52] zkirill: you can have them owned by any user [03:52] J381: click on same icon (normal click) to see networks [03:53] okay [03:53] nobodyspecial: Check what program are using music resources, press Ctrl + esc [03:53] J381: if they are there, try to connect, give password, use right encription... [03:54] okay [03:54] ctrl+esc does nothing [03:54] will try it again [03:54] didn't ubutu have a off-topic room in freenode? [03:54] i was compiling wubi 8.10 from source, but am getting an error when I run 'make' saying "GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils [03:54] ". My binutils is the latest version 2.20. Can anyone point me in the right direction. [03:54] nobodyspecial: Click start menu > System > System Monitor [03:54] i want to analyse the source code of a software written in c/c++........so what tool/software i should use for better understanding??

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:55] nothing running over 2% [03:55] i am thinking of partitianing my disk so ubuntu and windows can dual boot with a fat32 (or ntfs) partitian for data. i would partitian ubuntu and data and leave free space for windows? [03:55] shcherbak: which text editor??? [03:56] any of them work, how about gedit? [03:56] thethinker, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:56] nobodyspecial: check if you have any file indexing services, extensively using hard disk [03:56] and im probably gonna have problems with windows overwriting my mbr? [03:56] I installed a program from source. I went into .config and its folder in there to look for the logs. Now the logs are no longer there. What happened? [03:56] What would I be looking for with that? [03:57] coder2: well, me would go for vim and nano, but kate have good reputation. emacs is for more advanced users (or determined) [03:57] Nothing is using over 65 MiB RAM [03:58] Any idea? [03:59] nobodyspecial: no idea , may be others might help you, is it a new install of ubuntu [03:59] nope, not a new install === wqapol_ is now known as wqapol [04:00] coder2: i think code::blocks and eclipse is this you look for [04:00] hi. why it doesnt have the lastest version of Eclipse in ubuntu package? [04:01] can anyone help with lxdmconf? i installed it from the lxde/lubuntu ppa. i get errors about the desktop session when i try to run it as root. [04:03] shcherbak: thank you,i think code blocks will help me....:) [04:03] Hello [04:03] however i get no errors when running it as myself. however, it doesn't actually work unless you run it as root. [04:03] how do i change the LANG environment variable system-wide? [04:03] so what you're saying is, it only runs as root? [04:04] how I untar a package and setup it to be run from command line? [04:04] industry_: the changes only go into effect when ran as root. [04:04] the changes to what, your settings? [04:05] when ran as user i get this...ERROR: lxdmconf is not launched as root [04:05] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 off of a USB pen drive version of the live CD, because I can't install it on my broken hdd. I downloaded the Second Life Viewer 2.0 and it ran fine, but more recently it has been closing randomly. No error message is displayed, either. I ran 10.04 back when it came out, before my hdd messed up; and the same thing was happening. I specifically remember Audacity closing, along with Firefox and Google Chrome. I beli [04:05] this is on a new install? [04:06] @industry_ Mine? [04:06] but i get 3 different errors involving python and DESKTOP_SESSION...yes. on a fresh install of lubuntu....the lubuntu channel is VERY quiet. [04:06] Jared1: sorry, GaryD, I should've been specific [04:06] Oh, Sorry... :) [04:07] RiCON: this should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [04:07] industry_ get those errors when giving the sudo lxdmconf command in terminal. [04:07] has anyone ever installed dreamweaver cs5 with wine? [04:07] where I copy Eclipse to be able to call it from command line? [04:07] lol thethinker [04:07] GaryD: lubuntu -- sorry, don't have much experience with that, I thought you were talking about xfce. [04:07] that's quite ambitious, I like that [04:07] Can I create an ssh key for a system user? [04:08] GaryD: can i get all the features of ubuntu in xubuntu ?? [04:08] folklore: whats funny? [04:08] <_joey> how do get rid of the pesky sudo and have good old su instead? [04:08] hello [04:08] _joey: it's not really supported here [04:08] _joey: use your google-foo [04:08] industry_: oh...nope, but have you gotten the lxdmconf to work in xfce? [04:08] <_joey> shush [04:08] GaryD: ah, but wait, you're running it as root, from the command line. okay so what you're saying is you're trying to run xdmconf and you can't [04:09] _joey: ##linux [04:09] GaryD: as root, while you're logged in to a regular session [04:09] a [04:09] if I uninstalled network manager becuase after entering a passcode for the key, it takes a long time and fials to connect, is there a way to download the network manager without a netwokr connection usiong sudo [04:09] deww: changing /etc/environment is not working [04:09] *sudo apt-get install [04:09] mandriva: i am using lubuntu...i have used xubuntu before and yes...i would say you can get just as much functionality out of it. [04:09] C_Okie: i'm not 100% certain, but you might be able to install it from the CD === nosaj- is now known as nosa- [04:10] shcherbak: I enabled both wireless and networking however still no dice [04:10] Okay, anyone else? [04:11] industry_: yes. when i start lxdmconf from the menu it opens, but says that i am not root when i try to apply the changes....when i try to run it with the sudo command in terminal, i get some errors, and the program doesn't even open... [04:11] System seems to be running slower than normal. No processes running over 10% CPU utilization regularly, no processes using over 65 MiB RAM [04:12] GaryD: try this one: do a "sudo su" followed by "lxdmconf" [04:12] GaryD: actually make that "sudo su -" [04:12] industry_: same errors. [04:12] GaryD: what are these errors, exactly? That would help a lot. [04:13] C_Okie: u mean install dremweaver from cd? [04:13] <_joey> okay, that's better [04:13] huh [04:13] <_joey> why would even someone think about breaking good old tradition [04:13] nobodyspecial: You told its not new install, so you must have changed or installed something. Isn't it? [04:13] industry_: i pasted them to you. [04:13] <_joey> some kind of wanker i suppose [04:13] shcherbak: ? [04:13] No didn't change or install anything [04:14] what kernel do I have to install on ubuntu 10.10 to get it to recognize my i7 cpu [04:14] right now it cpuinfo shows only 1 cpu [04:14] thethinker: not dreamweaver but network-manager [04:14] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 off of a USB pen drive version of the live CD, because I can't install it on my broken hdd. I downloaded the Second Life Viewer 2.0 and it ran fine, but more recently it has been closing randomly. No error message is displayed, either. I ran 10.04 back when it came out, before my hdd messed up; and the same thing was happening. I specifically remember Audacity closing, along with Firefox and Google Chrome. I beli [04:14] RiCON: hmm. this may be the proper way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale (maybe the environment file is old or for something else) [04:14] so I can't connect I thought it would help but I am not sure why in ubuntu 10.04, I enter the passcode and it takes forever and then shows a red icon near the network icon [04:15] deww: thank you [04:16] is there any configuration required out of box 10.10 to get radeon drivers working properly [04:16] So, given that nothing has been installed or settings changed, any clue why system is running slower lately? [04:16] GaryD: so it's trying to read the DESKTOP_SESSION enviroment variable but sudo doesn't set that when it goes to root, which is probably messing it up [04:16] hehe got it [04:16] on debian you have to enable non-free and install firmware-nonfree or so [04:16] deww: that worked [04:16] thanks [04:16] cool :d [04:16] industry_: oh...so is there a way to fix this? [04:16] has anyone here come accross VMWare not restarting after a reboot? I'm getting "VMware Server Host Agent: failed" [04:17] can someone help me? [04:17] J381, whats up [04:17] GaryD: give me a minute to find out what that variable does [04:17] ok...thanks [04:17] GaryD: which is lighter ? lubuntu or xubuntu or watt os [04:17] Can someone help me? [04:17] is it normal for ubuntu 10.10 not to see multiple cores? [04:17] netgear router i cant get to connect via ubuntu [04:18] like in an intel i7 [04:18] deww likes men! === jeeves__ is now known as jeeves_moss [04:18] is it just me or does ubuntu have a lotta errors [04:18] xD [04:18] J381, ethernet or wireless [04:18] wireless [04:18] like network drivers competing [04:18] mandriva: i haven't tried watt os, but lubuntu is lighter than xubuntu in my experience. [04:18] trust me its not only u xD [04:18] GaryD: okay, try one of these: "export DESKTOP_SESSION:lubuntu" then retry your sudo command === alyas404 is now known as pfy`` [04:19] C_Okie: It has some bugs, but once you get it running, it is FAR better than windows! [04:19] Would someone please help me? [04:19] Sup everyone [04:19] how? [04:19] yeah [04:19] industry_: run this command? export DESKTOP_SESSION:lubuntu [04:20] yeah [04:20] has someone applied the 200 lines patch with toching the kernel? [04:20] nit-wit: what do i do [04:20] ah wait sorry, "export DESKTOP_SESSION=lubuntu" [04:20] equals sign not colon [04:20] J381, is that a usb antenna and a router [04:21] what do you mean [04:21] industry_: still the same [04:21] !offtopic |Scarra3 [04:21] Scarra3: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:21] J381, is there a plugin to the computer that communicates to the router wirelessly [04:22] wrd: id hardly consider saying "sup" offtopic.. take a xannax [04:22] so clearly then sudo does not inherit your environment (probably a good thing). instead you should do "sudo su" and in the root terminal, re-run that command, and see if at least the error doesn't change. [04:22] join #transmission [04:22] How can I fix my issue? [04:23] j381, He means do you use an antenna for your wireless or is it internal? [04:23] industry__: why not use sudo -s ? it does the same thing [04:23] in my laptop its internal [04:23] industry_: same errors [04:23] KM0 [04:23] dang [04:23] KM0201, hey man you in here? [04:23] cha0s2358: mentally... not physically.. :) [04:24] For some reason, and I just don't understand why, my computer isn't responding as quickly as it used to [04:24] i tried sudo apt-cdrom add but it says the cds not a debian cd when it is the linux cd that has the live boot and the installation boot [04:24] J381: whats the wireless device you're having a problem w/? [04:24] KM0201, lol i have a problem and was wonder if you may be able to help. [04:24] I have not added software or changed settings [04:24] cha0s2358: if i can.. more than happy to. [04:24] Does ANYONE have any advice as to what could be wrong? [04:25] i noticed that there was a quote mark missing in that error you showed me. is that intentional (is there no matching quote?) -- because it looks like someone mistyped something in the program [04:25] nobody special: what is the problem exactly? how ole=d is the system? what system is it? [04:25] KM0201, i tried to burn a 10.10 disc. it didnt work. so i used my 10.04 disc when setting up my dual boot. well i installed, tried to upgrade to 10.10 [04:25] The problem is that I try to load programs and they load slower than they did [04:25] industry_: where is the missing quote/ [04:25] ? [04:25] cha0s2358: this sounds fun already [04:26] System is about 2 yrs old [04:26] nobodyspecial: not with just that. I mean, you could be running more programs in the background, something that uses the disk a lot, an update may changed some behavior, you may have some hw error its working around and dealing with. [04:26] nobodyspecial: they load slower than they did before what?. oh... [04:26] KM0201, it took over an hour went to installing packages and gave an error that the installation could not be completed because my sytem could be in a unstabale state and it quit the upgrade [04:26] Before now, Gary [04:26] @nobodyspecial, What system is it specifically? [04:27] What do you mean what system? [04:27] cha0s2358: and now the installed 10.04 is borked? [04:27] nobodyspecial: First place to try is look at what you have running (htop / system-monitor) then check your logs. [04:27] scratch that last statement -- me not seeing that quote is what I get for setting my terminal font to Comic Sans [04:27] no the 10.04 is fine but it wont upgrade and i dont know what to do [04:27] How do I check logs? [04:27] What is your computers brand, and specs like amt of ram, processor speed, etc [04:27] eee 900A [04:28] I think 1 GB RAM [04:28] lol [04:28] 1.6 GHz Atom [04:28] cha0s2358: well, depending on how many blank CD's you have laying around... i believe you can use the Alt. Install CD, as a upgrade CD(although I have never done it) [04:28] Are you running 10.10? [04:28] so if you download/burn the alt. install cd for 10.10.... you should be able to upgrade 10.04 w/ it... *I THINK* [04:28] KM0201, out of cd's would have to get some tom [04:28] !upgrade [04:29] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:29] nobodyspecial: you may want to try bleachbit...use the bleachbit as root option in the menu after you install it. this will clean a lot of trash out of your system. [04:29] 10.04 [04:29] !alternate [04:29] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [04:29] thats what i thought [04:29] well, that's odd, because the export command should definitely be setting that variable in your environment. The only other thing I can think of is trying "DESKTOP_SESSION=lubuntu; lxdmconf" from the root terminal [04:29] ok, I'm looking into it [04:29] Not uch on the system to start with [04:29] but my knowledge of shell semantics isn't perfect [04:29] Is it the only operating system on the hard drive? [04:29] industry_: i think it is a problem with the python coding...? [04:29] nobodyspecial: what problem are you having? [04:30] KM0201, ok so just download the alt cd .iso and burn it. then it will upgrade me to 10.10? [04:30] cha0s2358: i've never upgraded w/ an alt. install cd, I just know it can be done.. i honestly don''t know the procedure for using it to upgrade [04:30] I open a program, and it loads slower than it used to, KM0201 [04:30] nobodyspecial: after 2 years the system is bound to have a full cache and who knows what other kind of stuff built up on it. [04:30] nobodyspecial: oh ok. [04:30] What program is it? [04:31] who was having a wireless problem a few minutes ago? [04:31] KM0201, oh ok, well i guess it will all have to wait till tomorrow anyway till i buy more cd's [04:31] Gary, that I reinstalled ubuntu a month ago... [04:31] KM0201, thanks bro [04:31] Jared, any program [04:31] Firefox, Open office [04:31] cha0s2358: yeah, i'm sure google would turn up some hits on the exact procedure, i've just never done it... but it should be a fairly safe/stable way to upgrade... i hope.. :) [04:31] All load slower than before [04:32] Oh, ok... I was getting to what gary said, you should try to clear the cache [04:32] GaryD: nothing wrong with the python, just something wrong with the programmer's logic. it's pretty stupid to rely on an environment variable to start a program. [04:32] In a month, how would the cache get that full? [04:32] maybe i can remove the call for the environment? [04:33] nobodyspecial: openoffice and firefox both use a lot of resources. they clog a system fast. [04:34] ok either in the gui or in the console, when I try to add a cd repository it cannot mount the cd becuase it cannto find it why would this be [04:34] industry_: if i remove the call for the environment will that work, or just break the program all together? [04:34] what's blowing my mind is that supposedly those commands set that environment variable, so why it still is doing the whole "keyerror" routine is boggling me [04:34] it probably relies on something from that variable so I wouldn't recommend it [04:34] Gary: gtext also loads slower than it did [04:34] any browser will gather information quickly, as will alot of email clients. [04:35] As does system monitor, or anything else [04:35] industry_: i even logged out and changed the session through lxdm. still no good. [04:35] You should try clearing the cache, but do it at your own risk. [04:36] Personal opinion :) [04:36] hm, mind = blown on that one. [04:36] clear cache in what way? [04:36] nobodyspecial: firefox holds a lot of info in the cache. i bet if you open your system monitor and look on the resources tab, you will see you are using a lot of memory. there an option to not show memory used by cache. if you enable that you will see what we are talking about. [04:36] open terminal [04:37] industry_: lol...thanks anyway. i will have to see if i get an update...before i file a bug. [04:37] how do I find how much the cache uses? [04:38] firefox, as a whole, uses under 60 MiB of RAM [04:38] That's with all processes checked [04:38] nobodyspecial: open system monitor [04:38] It is open [04:39] nobodyspecial: click on resources [04:39] okay [04:39] nobodyspecial: look in the menu for something like "show cache as free" [04:40] Don't see it [04:40] Memory uses is 330 MiB total [04:40] 0 swap [04:40] nobodyspecial: how much memory do you have total? [04:41] It lists it as 993.3 MiB [04:41] If i have an installed package let's say alpine can I apply a patch over it? manually? [04:41] So it's using 33.3% [04:41] then i don't see why you should have a problem. [04:41] But I am [04:42] check the processes. [04:42] Firefox uses the most resources [04:42] Anybody know how to have Postfix send a copy of all outgoing mail to a separate email? Postfix does not handle any incoming mail for the domain? [04:42] at 58 MiB right now [04:42] What's using 33.3%? [04:42] hmmm [04:43] That's total, AndChat- [04:43] Ah ok. [04:43] nobodyspecial: try letting it get a good nights sleep and a good meal. If that doesn't work, give it the tech equivalent of a shot of espresso... [04:44] And yet, the system has been running slower than before for the last week or two [04:44] I need to save a copy of all outgoing mail sent from Postfix which is generated by a web application? Is this possible? [04:44] jared1, The uptime on it is only about 2h30m [04:44] It hasn't been running for long [04:45] s5s: It seems not since it apears to be writen in C so it would require a compile to be patched. packages are just bins no source to compile there. [04:45] I am trying to change the directory transmission-daemon saves to to "/Shared/Downloads" I have changed the owner of /Shared to me and allow writing of Downloads to other users but transmission keeps saying access denied when trying to save. anything else i need to change? [04:45] How long have you had the system for? [04:45] Total? 2 yrs [04:46] Reinstalled everything about a month ago [04:46] Last update? [04:46] <_joey> i9 am running ubuntu in vmware; I run 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to boot Ubunt in console; it reboots in GUI, however [04:46] <_joey> what is wrong? [04:46] Started running slow about a week ago [04:46] So it ran fine for about two weeks? [04:46] Maybe 2 [04:46] yep [04:46] sacarlson: Thank you. I though so. However, as far as I know apt-get source will get me the source and I should be able to apply the patch and compile and reinstall right? [04:46] nobodyspecial: lol it was a joke... anyways, the only thing I can think of is clearing the cache. Do at your own risk: open terminal, then type "sudo -s" (without quotes) then type "# sync" and press enter, then " # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" [04:47] it's still not running really slow [04:47] Just a little slower [04:47] lol....oh my... [04:47] all without quotes if you decide to do it [04:47] s5s: I guess that might work. did you check to see if a ppa already exist before you go threw all that trouble [04:47] ok, so i am trying to learn a computer language. What should be the first 1 i learn? I basicly want to be able to create and host a website, also build my own apps (like small games, and such) best approach? I have no past exp at all. im almost 20yrs old. what can i do? [04:47] Should probably tell him the downfall to clearing the cache [04:48] i say try bleachbit...in synaptic...it works. [04:48] I don't see how clearing the cache is dangerous. you're just syncing then flushing the synced entries. [04:48] Firefox is taking a couple seconds longer than before, and it's annoying me [04:48] sacarlson: what's a ppa? [04:48] Bazz: try Perl, Python, or PHP [04:48] Bazz, are you looking for ease of learning or usefulness? [04:48] <_joey> it'd be nice if one of you suckers could answer my question [04:49] Bazz: or ruby :D [04:49] andchat: nobodyspecial: Like Industry said, there shouldn't be any real danger [04:49] !ppa s5s [04:49] _joey, can I help? [04:49] well, ease of learning, but i also want to be able to do alot. [04:49] Bazz: http://railsforzombies.org/ [04:49] Joey, his system is running slow [04:49] <_joey> Jared1: I am running ubuntu in vmware; I run 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to boot Ubuntu in console; it reboots in GUI, however [04:49] s5s: check out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [04:50] Bazz, java or python [04:50] sacarlson: thanks. I don't know why but my alpine doesn't accept the -subject option which other people seem to be using OK [04:50] Bazz, I suggest Python if this is the first language you've ever learned. it probably has the shallowest learning curve and the most uniform syntax. [04:51] <_joey> and where is the bloody /etc/inittab on ubuntu? [04:51] Bazz: javascript is also a good language [04:51] is there a shell cmd to block a website? [04:51] Not to mention that it's already installed on your system, just type "python" into a shell to fire it up [04:51] _joey: I don't have much experience with vmware, but I wall try to help you as much as I can. [04:51] Robotarmy: for a first language? [04:52] i guess ill go with python, i have installed it already, and downloaded the tk package. but where do i start? [04:52] AndChat-: I say that as someone who teaches programming for beginners [04:52] nobodyspecial: i use lubuntu now, but i used to have ubuntu...i have 1gb ram. it got slow a lot. now with lubuntu my memory usage hardly rises above half of my ram. i have no problems. i actually didn't have too many problems with ubuntu, because i kept the system clean. it just got slow after a while of using it. [04:52] try here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ [04:52] Bazz: Google [04:52] Tinychat doesn't work with ubuntu for some weird reason. Well, my cam doesn't work. [04:52] <_joey> Jared1: You can google if you want; I'd wait for you here [04:52] is there a shell cmd to block a website? [04:52] Bazz go for python. Perl is useful but I think very specialized and a bit advanced. C++ is extremely useful but is harder than python. [04:53] in 10.10 is there a way to bind the alsa master and LFE sound channels together and set PCM as the main volume control? [04:53] _joey: to find etc/inittab, go to computer in the places menu, then click on file system [04:53] sl33k: what do you mean "block a website"? [04:53] sl33k_: "block a website" is ambiguous [04:53] industry__: thank you [04:53] s5s: thank you [04:53] Bazz: try python as you will - but don't assume all languages are like python. [04:53] Bazz. You will also need to learn basic Bash if you are working on linux. Bash scripting is horrible for complex things but it can save you a lot of time for very simple tasks which you need to do daily. [04:54] Can I make the prompt text in terminal (user@host:$) To be of some distinct color. I cant find any such setting in profile. [04:54] <_joey> Jared1: root@ubuntu:~# find / -name inittab [04:54] Python is the red headed step child of languages [04:54] <_joey> returns nothing [04:54] robotarmy: i will not assume that, i just want to start with something. gets my feet wet, and go from there [04:54] industry__: i just want to block a site that eats a lot of my time, can it? [04:54] i have heard it can be [04:54] s5s: I see at least 3 versions of alpine in ppa at https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/ppa and more hits in the first search [04:54] nothing? [04:55] s5s: Bash? ok, thank you [04:55] <_joey> yes, no thing [04:55] how can I tell which network manager deb version I can download from a separate computer that'll work for 10.04 [04:55] Bazz: good luck - and if you get bogged down - try http://railsforzombies.org/ - for websites and for game backends. [04:55] I get glib > 0.06 dependency error with the latest [04:55] sl33k_: so, a regular website that you yourself visit? well, you could deny outgoing connections to it in your firewall i guess [04:55] Bash is the Linux scripting language [04:55] _joey: It looks like it has been replaced, and I am searching for what it has become [04:55] s5s: I don't know what version your option is in [04:55] sl33k: just block it in your browser preferences. [04:56] oh yeah that works too [04:56] robotarmy: im deff going to checkout the railsforzombies site. thank you [04:56] does ubuntu wikis tell which version of network manager comes with 10.04 [04:56] sl33k: another alternative...use restraint and self-control [04:56] Andchat: thank you [04:56] industry__: ya [04:56] hello [04:56] <_joey> AndChat-: Korn shell owns everyone [04:56] i dont use firewall, is it recommended industry__? [04:56] <_joey> csh is dead [04:57] yes you do, it's called netfilter [04:58] sacarlson: how can I get the latest build? [04:58] well, netfilter/iptables/ufw [04:58] try here: /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf [04:58] sl33k: you can log in to your router and set it to block the site. [04:58] hey guys whats up [04:58] i need some help [04:58] sup definity [04:58] for some reason my gnome has stoped working and i can only work in terminal [04:58] !tell definity -about ask [04:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:59] is there a way to change which volume control your media keys/front panel buttons control in 10.10? Currently it's set to the Alsa master channel but I need it to be the PCM channel [04:59] ubotto: thank you for that info...:) [04:59] Hey GaryD [04:59] definity: Are we supposted to guess the reason based on no information? [04:59] definity: hey...what did you do last before this happened? [05:00] hahahah yeah your right sorry, total n00b question soz for that s5s. [05:00] ubottu: Are you of any intelligence, or just a moderator? XD [05:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:00] Ubottu: x [05:00] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:00] well basically i installed a theame that was KDE but the i realised it was a Gnome window manager i was using [05:00] now i cant get into a gui eviroment [05:00] s5s: I don't know what the latist build is I guess pick the bigist number in ppa? [05:00] _joey: you still here? [05:00] enviroment* [05:00] Hey, guys. What's a good way to make a back-up image of my entire drive? I just want an image that can be stored on my external drive and able to be restored later. [05:01] nairanvac: hang on a minute [05:01] anyone mind helping me [05:01] nairanvac: try rsync or duplicity. [05:01] sacarlson: yes indeed. It's 2.02. I found it. What's a ppa in short? [05:02] ahhhh, is there any way i can scroll up on terminal, i just saw an idea from Ubuntu-Bot but its gone now [05:02] industry__: Thanks, I'll take a look at those [05:02] definity: shift pgup [05:02] definity: .bash_history should allow you to reverse your commands. [05:02] thanks dude!! [05:02] nairanvac: also have a look at 'man dd' [05:03] How can I re-enable the icons for the System menu? [05:03] s5s: Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu, it's were people make there own versions of packages that they publish for people to try [05:03] My computer wont let me mount to the live cd to install network-manager ; I am doing this because I haven't got a connection( i think it needs dependencies from online ) but I [05:03] geekosopher: Oh, yeah, I forgot about dd. That's actually exactly what I need [05:03] Just a quick gnome-terminal question. Is there any way to configure terminal to play a sound on exit. If not directly, if there a way to have it run a command on exit? [05:03] yeah, dd works too, if you want a bit-for-bit image [05:04] <_joey> Jared1: yes [05:04] nairanvac: be carefull with what you give in of= for dd, or else it may wipe out your external drive [05:04] ok, so try /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf [05:04] unless you want your external drive to be a bit-for-bit copy of your current one. [05:05] industry__: Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I'm planning on wiping my current installation of Eeebuntu in order to try out Ubuntu 10.10 and some other things, and I just want to be able to to wipe my drive and restore my back-up if I need to revert for any reason. [05:05] s5s: if you licked that patch you added to alpine you could package it and distribute your package for others to try. later if enuf people liked it then it would become a part of the ubuntu distrubution [05:05] is there any stable derivative of ubuntu [05:05] Nah, ideally I'd just have an image file on my drive that I could restore [05:05] mandriva: ubuntu is pretty stable. [05:05] @mandriva , kubuntu, xubuntu etc etc [05:05] also, linux mint is pretty nice [05:06] sacarlson: That's a neat idea. Thanks [05:07] mandriva: try lubuntu first...if you don't have very many resources...if you have a lot of resources, try ubuntu first...if you like, try linux mint. it is very nice and is based off of ubuntu. [05:08] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXqPEqSsBuQ Anybody else watching the WEC event? Even if you're not into MMA, this is incredible. The guy hits a flying round kick after rebounding off the cage [05:09] nairanvac: not really sure how thats ontopic here.. but i love that video [05:09] 'ello [05:09] Can someone help me set up tethering? "ip masquerading" I believe. [05:09] KM0201: It's entirely off-topic, but I feel it's worth the digression [05:09] lol [05:10] I want to download a game to my 360 (xbox live arcade). I got the points and everything from the store. I totally forgot my 360 doesn't have wireless (just got it out of the pawn shop from a year ago) [05:10] so.. I need an internet connection. I don't need a cross over cable with the 360 [05:10] hi guys. if a user *absolutely must* install a GUI on a server, what is the better/best lightweight win-manager? [05:10] You don't need a crossover cable, Lanlost [05:10] you see.. I can do internet connection sharing FINE in Windows when I've had it. I used to think Windows was a pain to get internet connection sharing to work [05:10] but... it may be the ONE thing I know of that seems to work better [05:10] kieppie: I'd say XFCE right offhand [05:10] I used to not have a problem with it in linux [05:10] kieppie: dwm [05:11] kieppie: Though fluxbox is really light, too [05:11] but EVERY time for the last 2-3 years that I've attempted it.. I've ended up screwing my ip tables somehow [05:11] also, internet sharing is really easy in Ubuntu; once you get the hang of it [05:11] to where I have to flush them every boot [05:11] and.. the internet connection sharing never works.. to boot [05:11] oh my go [05:11] d [05:11] if you can tell me how.. I will seriously love you forever [05:11] thats no joke [05:11] Lanlost: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:11] kieppie: you could try webmin...it allows you to configure all parts of your server in a web browser. [05:11] IVE GOTTA FLOOD. I could get internet here Floodbot!!1 [05:11] thanks guys. I'm considering XFCE or flux, but ned to weight up options [05:12] @Lanlost http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html [05:12] I'm already using webmin ) [05:12] :) [05:12] kieppe: and if you absolutely, must have a window manager, jsut use openbox. [05:12] kieppie: have you considered looking at lxde?.. it's better than both IMO. [05:12] thnx [05:12] * KM0201 <3's openbox... Crunchbang, for the win! [05:12] fyi, apapousek. I'll be sharing my wireless (from wifi) using ethernet.. that will be ok? [05:12] kieppie: no wait, twm [05:13] hi, using 10.04 on USB (persistant) @ work but connected to net via proxy, is it possible to set up to use proxy to update the distro? [05:13] kieppe: lxde is great, i use it for my server....i only recommend openbox as the lightest option there is. [05:13] Lanlost , yes that will work. Just be sure to input the correct interfaces [05:14] sweet. as far as I can tell, they need little more than a browser & file-manager [05:14] but looking nice [05:14] where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server ip address (Usually 192.168.0.1 is used) [05:14] ack [05:15] i heard those "what!? install a gui on the server? WHY!" thoughts some of you had...lol [05:15] Lanlost, yes [05:15] ifconfig ethX ip: where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server IP. Ok. That's fine. But then two lines down they say ethX is the source of the internet.. [05:15] so.. [05:15] espn...gotta love it....i mean...esp [05:15] how to burn .img files? [05:15] I'm sharing to my xbox over eth0 and my source is usb0 [05:15] No, you replace the X in ethX with a number [05:15] I know, it's just dumb that they don't specify which one [05:16] I mean they should have like ethX - small 1 [05:16] pavanai: brasero, gnomebaker, xfburn... [05:16] @ Lanlost, there are million of hardware configuration, don't think that yours is special [05:16] and then ethX - small 2 to designate that they are two separate sources. [05:16] I don't think that mine is special.. [05:16] brasero isnt workin [05:16] pavanai: cuz it sucks, use gnomebaker [05:16] @ pavanai, or you could use dd if=/imagefile.img of=/dev/burnger [05:16] So, if I were to use dd to make an image of my drive, and output it to my external drive, I would just do "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc1/netbook.backup"? [05:16] wt it does? [05:16] pavanai: on ubuntu? [05:16] ya [05:17] 10.04 [05:17] brasero is for burning cd's.. it sucks, use gnomebaker [05:17] gnomebaker [05:17] apapousek, since doing this the last 2-3 times has completely screwed my entire networking setup I just wanna do it right the first time [05:17] This isn't something over my head.. I'm just being unusually careful because of past bad experiences [05:17] nairanvac: no. find out where /dev/sdc1 is mounted, then write the file to there [05:17] for that i suggest usage of the "mount [05:18] command. and not prematurely pressing enter while typing. [05:18] Lanlost , where it says input, put your device input, where it says IP, put your ip address (can be found using ifconfig) [05:18] and where is says output, put your output === JanC_ is now known as JanC [05:18] GaryD:brasero dont support .img files [05:18] industry__: So, like so: "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/FreeAgent/netbook.backup" [05:18] lol figured out how to fix camera [05:18] that's not what the guide says [05:19] it says ip is your DESIRED ip [05:19] Hey guys...is there a way to force apt to install a package without asking any questions? Even config questions? [05:19] I think you are missing what I am asking here [05:19] then put your desired IP addrss [05:19] it's fine. I'll just use another guide. I know these commands [05:19] and Lanlost, this guide works fine [05:19] woops, looks like i forgot to stop xchat when i restarted x...lol [05:19] nairanvac: correct. [05:19] I'm trying to reinstall GRUB using disk ubuntu 10.04 disk. I had installed ubuntu from windows. What options should I select in manual partition for disk mount point? === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [05:19] I just dont like how they use "ethx" for both input and output [05:19] I realize you replace the X with the correct one.. [05:19] f_niten: sudo apt-get install -y packagename [05:20] @ makulker, are you just wanting to reinstall grub? [05:20] Start by configuring the network card that interfaces to the other computers on you network [05:20] ok THATS the part I didn't see [05:20] this whole thing makes sense now [05:20] damn ad that popped up [05:20] i cant install any pkgs....it says broken [05:20] @Lanlost, hope it works out now === Jack is now known as Guest85083 [05:20] GaryD: But it still asks more advanced questions [05:20] f_niten: i dont think you can pass up things like license agrements, passwords being set... [05:20] I'm trying to install libpam-ldap, and it asks about servernames and stuff [05:21] industry_: where can i download cd for offline repositories of ubuntu 10.10? [05:21] I just wanna copy a config in afterwards [05:21] Hmm... [05:21] oh my god [05:21] Lanlost: seems all you need is to setup a network bridge, I'm not sure how since it seems you use a usb hub to connect your two boxes? [05:21] f_niten: hmmm.....don't know about ldap...sorry [05:21] I get /dev/sda1 ntfs as option for manualy partition. But I get "No root file system defined" error [05:21] Then configure the NAT as follows: # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE [05:22] industry__: Sweet! Thanks a lot for the help. And if/when I need to restore it, I just reformat my drive, then boot into a live session, and do "dd if=/media/FreeAgent/netbook.backup of=/dev/sda1"? [05:22] ... then they put "where ethX is the network card that the Internet is coming from" below that [05:22] How about passing input to apt? Beyond 'y'? Could I cat a file and pass that? [05:22] so great. I just did eth0 again.. which is the one that connects the two together [05:22] So hacky, though... [05:22] Hey!, i tryed the stuff Ubuntu bot says but it did not work. I think that i need to reinstall Gnome or KDE which ever is easyier. What do you guys think? [05:22] nairanvac: yep. [05:22] I meant to do usb.. how do I undo the "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" line [05:22] @ definity , which installation disc do you have [05:22] anyone want to give my lxdmconf problem a shot again? [05:23] industry__: Awesome, thanks a lot, yet again [05:23] definity: try reinstalling gdm [05:23] Lanlost, what is the name of the network interface thats connection to the rest of your network? [05:23] oh no instalation disc, i jsut downloaded the immage from the Ubuntu website, and installed it of USB pen [05:23] i have the latest version [05:23] sarcarlson, My wireless card is rt2500 (thats the module). The drivers are HORRIBLE and have been for at least 5 years. It does this thing where you connect, you get INCREDIBLE speeds.. lets say 800kbps. Then anywhere from 5seconds to 2 minutes later.. it drops to around 30kbps [05:23] Okay, is it Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [05:23] where do i find checksums for the desktop downloads? [05:23] !hashes [05:23] !md5sums [05:23] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [05:23] even though it still says its got a 52mbps connection or whatever. The second you reconnect. BAM it's great speed again. [05:24] thanks guys [05:24] It doesn't do it in Windows. I tried using Windows drivers via ndiswrapper (sad I know) and.. it seemed to work but they were so unstable it was impossible to use [05:24] Lanlost, please check:http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialNetworking.html#FORWARDING [05:24] definity: i would definitely uninstall the kde theme or whatever. [05:24] Lanlost, it is realy easy under linux [05:24] also Lanlost, Ubuntu =/= Windows [05:25] Anyway, the reason you see my wifi connection as USB is funny.. I'm using my old Android G1 to connect to my wifi because of said wifi card problems .. and then using tethering to share it to my pc heh [05:25] i would but im not sure where it is(Dir wise, I know it is on the desktop) [05:25] apapousek, who said anything about Ubuntu being Windows? [05:25] you keep comparing your experience to Windows, saying how easy it is [05:25] I take that as Ubuntu != Windows. [05:25] but TBH i dont think it is that, Windows X manager is refusing to start up, it seams like it is something deeper [05:25] Just because Ubuntu != Windows doesn't mean that Windows doesn't have ANY strengths? [05:26] I would be using Windows if I thought that much better about it. I haven't used Windows even as a dual boot since.. Windows 2000 [05:26] Lanlost: tethering what hardware is that using? [05:26] actually, the only strength Windows has is the game companies supporting it [05:26] And.. Windows isn't what makes it 'easy.' I never claimed that. I said the Windows drivers happen to be good. [05:26] definity: did you install the theme through synaptic? [05:26] apapousek: and a shitty GUI, HeHe! [05:26] Lanlost: cat5 ethernet? usb plug? [05:26] usb plug [05:27] definity , good point. forgot they're too good at that [05:27] Can we get back to Ubuntu support please [05:27] coming from being a pure windows user, windows sucks, lol [05:27] lol [05:27] IdleOne , sorry for the lollygagging; back to ubuntu [05:27] GaryD: no it was downloded through Gnome-Look [05:27] what's going on with floodbot? [05:27] industry__: It's been a while since I've used dd, is it supposed to have any sort of progress indication or anything while it works? [05:27] or KDE-Look should i say [05:27] Lanlost, pls do me a favour way before windows even had the driver linux had it built in the regular networking. [05:27] Well anyways...Very common question but here it goes; Whats the best iTunes Replacement on Ubuntu? [05:27] hmm the checksum is correct. 718MB => dvd right? how come everyone's saying cd? [05:28] please do you what favor? [05:28] nairanvac: you can ask it to dump progress to the terminal by doing: killall -USR1 dd [05:28] c0dered: depends on what you want it to do... do you want to sync an ipod, or just listen to music? [05:28] (more generally, send SIGUSR1 to the dd process) [05:28] c0dered , I'm a fan of rhythmbox , although i hear amarok is good, too [05:28] Lapion, that may be true [05:28] and it is a lot easier [05:28] rhythm box [05:28] i think [05:28] industry__: Can that be done after I've done the dd command? [05:29] What is a lot easier? [05:29] GaryD: yeah i know bit of a strange problem.... if i could paste the error i would but being only in terminal it is a bit hard. [05:29] these sentences aren't complete.. [05:29] industry__: can you suggest any graphical youtube video downloader made for ubuntu? [05:29] c0dered: what do you want it to do?... [05:29] I have even had it working on a hdd-less floppy system [05:29] can i burn 718MB to a cd? [05:29] fwiw, i like Audacious, Rythmbox, etc.. [05:29] I'm trying to manage my iPhone's ipod music. I've been trying out gtkpod. I love it, till the point where it didnt support mp4. I know i had to install some ext but found it diffcult so I tried out Rhythombox [05:29] palam: lol.. seriously? [05:29] But i spsoe the benifit of not having a GUI you learning Linux inside out alot quicker!! [05:30] c0dered: i'm not sure how rythmbox handles an ipone [05:30] you can get 750MB CD's and a some 800MB CD's [05:30] definity: but a vast majority of them, are 698mb... [05:30] KM0201 yes. definity: oh ok thanks [05:31] I want to broadcast streaming media to PCs in LAN of my educational institute.Whats the provision in Ubuntu? [05:31] definity: try editing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and deleting the corrupted theme from: /usr/share/gdm/themes [05:31] palam: if a CD is designed to hold 698, why woul dyou be able to burn 715mb to it? [05:31] KM0201: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM [05:31] researcher1 , you could use VLC to stream, and connect your PC's to the video stream [05:31] I wouldn't use rhythmbox if you have anything on your iphone/ipod to begin with [05:31] Palam: Very True! but they are out there... some where, i ahve seen them before [05:31] apapousek: ok. [05:31] palam: i know what a cdrom is.. i'm asking how you're doing the math [05:31] have* [05:31] In my experience, if you aren't starting fresh, it tends to corrupt/overwrite your ipod db [05:32] deifinity: sudo nano /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [05:32] apapousek: which is easier ubuntu or opensuse? [05:32] KM0201: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download says CD, so i asked. turns out, yes, you can burn more than 700 MB to a cd [05:32] Lanlost: my old nano works fine..but i think the older, the better. [05:32] !ot > mandriva [05:32] mandriva, please see my private message [05:32] you will close it down/eject, whatever and end up with JUST the most recent things you put on it. Everything after that point goes on fine. It was a known bug. [05:32] yeah, possibly [05:32] palam: not if its a 700mb cd. [05:32] ok GaryD il give it a go thanks! i tell you what happens... [05:32] If you have a non-iphone I would recommend just using rockbox =) [05:33] I'm a huge fan of folder/file structure as opposed to id3 tags [05:33] KM0201: when did i ever say the cd is 700 mb? [05:33] definty: ok...after you do that do this [05:33] exit [05:33] i'm going to get a cd, so i asked [05:33] palam: well, 90% of them are.... [05:33] oh [05:33] you'll have to do some real looking for a 750+ CD [05:34] anyway.. [05:34] I love rhythmbox but my ONLY problem with it is that I cant create sub-folders for my iPods playlist. Example; Under my playlist, I have a folder called "Deadmau5", under that folder, I have like 6 different playlist for each album. In rhythmbox, it does not group all his music like how i had it in iTunes. [05:34] c0dered: honestly, i got so frustrated w/ Ubuntu and newer ipods(and ultimately, i got a Zune, which was 100% no joy on Ubuntu)... i put XP in Virtualbox... when I need to sync, i fire i tup, sync, shut it down. [05:35] when you don't install a ton of crap on XP, you can put it on a 10gig virtualdisk [05:35] I'm still looking for a Linux media player that can keep my files organized like iTunes or MediaMonkey did on Windows, or like the older Amarok would [05:35] nairanvac: sorry, yes, you can do it at any time while the process is running, from another terminal [05:35] then just keep your music, etc.. ona shared folder w/ the vbox.. and sync fro it [05:35] true, windows is nice for a quick sync on the iPod [05:35] unode1: but itunes sucks. [05:35] help with lxdmconf....anyone?...help with python.....anyone? [05:36] but i figured if i'm gonna have to use xp in vbox for my zune, i might as well put itunes on there to, and use it for my ipod. [05:36] industry__: Cool, thanks. I went another route by just opening up Nautilus, highlighting the file and seeing how big it is [05:36] Yeah...thats what Im currently setting up on VirtualBox, only so that I can use iTunes. I was seeing if there was an alternative, but i guess not. [05:36] I know the backup will be about 8 gigs [05:36] definity: ??? [05:37] c0dered: not any good ones anyway.. IMO.. the best is gtkpod.. but thats w/ my old nano... i'm guessimg it has limitations with the newer ipod touch's and iphones, etc [05:37] The closest I got to itunes on Ubuntu was gtkpod because it allowed me to group multple playlist [05:37] maybe if we all storm the offices of Apple, we'll get them to release a Linux version of Itunes [05:37] GaryD, Hey Bud, i gave it a go and it seams like the directorys have disapeared, i tried CD'in to the paths you gave me and i even ls -anl tot he path of what the conf file should of been in, and it wernt there [05:37] My only prob with gtkpod was that I cant get it to work with mp4 files. [05:37] to the* [05:37] Package ipmasq is not available, [05:38] i think a complete reinstall of Windows X or Gnome/KDE/XFCE [05:38] not sure what is up, what do you think? [05:39] definity: was the theme in .deb format? [05:39] hi, how to extract .chm files in ubuntu. [05:39] no .tar.gz i think [05:39] appi_uppi, you can open them using xchm [05:39] some compression format. [05:39] !info xchm | appi_uppi [05:39] hi [05:39] appi_uppi: xchm (source: xchm): Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file viewer for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.17-3 (maverick), package size 179 kB, installed size 776 kB [05:39] average timeframe for someone to learn a language (python) well enough to create own programs? (like a game or something) [05:39] definity: do you remember the theme name? [05:40] is there some web server statistics tool that can be configured automatically? [05:40] dnivra, let me try that [05:40] does anyone know how to send emails from the command line? I need to write a script to send emails? [05:40] GaryD:haha, I wish [05:40] lol [05:40] which is the lightwight version of Ubuntu which is not a burden upon system resources? [05:40] s5s: mail [05:41] ribot: Can it use IMAP? [05:41] researcher1: lubuntu [05:41] GaryD:I know N00b, but we all got to start somehwere!! [05:41] s5s dunno much about it [05:41] exit [05:42] ribot: i also have pine which i have configured. Can I use pine? [05:42] s5s why not? [05:42] difinity: i am a noob too, on some issues. i am having a python problem or something i can't figure out right now. [05:42] guys, ain't there no 64bit version for intel? I see only amd 64bit downloads.. :-s [05:43] seen this http://xkcd.com/612/ ? [05:43] oops wrong channel; sorry. [05:43] I haven't been able to specify the subject field on the command line and then once I run the command with pine it drops me to ncruses [05:43] Gigacore, its the same [05:43] apapousek, are you still here? I got it working differently [05:43] bazhang: so does the amd 64bit copy work on intel 64bit architecture? [05:43] GaryD: having a Python? you mean you are learning Python? or is this some kinda teenage talk? [05:44] ohh whops [05:44] Gigacore, yes [05:44] bazhang: thank u [05:44] GaryD: soz terminal IRC till has me confused, i read the rest of the line now [05:45] GaryD: i would help you unfortunatly im a PHP guy! [05:45] GaryD: did you try some python channel? [05:45] that tutorial is apparently out of date since.. 2000. [05:45] How can I establish a network connection to my phone (treo) using bluetooth? The old Hardy method doesn't seem to work anymore. (And the tutorial is gone, anyway.) [05:45] definity: lol...i'm 28 with a wife and 2 kids...my teenage talking years are long past...... [05:46] ribot: do you know one? [05:46] WOW! the Athalon works on Intel i thought they had diffrent CPU architecture [05:46] GaryD: yes, #python [05:46] do you guys generally go with a LTS for you desktop machines? i'm trying to decide between 10.04 and 10.10. any suggestions? my servers will be on 10.04 [05:46] i know some python too though [05:46] TheMusicGuy: tried blueman? [05:47] palam: go with 10.04, upgrade to 10.10 if you find yourself needing a lot of updated stuff. [05:47] palam: i usually run newist on desktop and LTS on servers [05:47] ribot: lol...thanks....maybe you can help? [05:47] GaryD: you expect me to guess what your problem is? [05:48] Gigacore, I haven't been able to figure out how to use blueman to do it. What I've tried doesn't seem to have any effect. I can pair and sometimes sync, but can't establish a constant LAN/PAN. [05:48] gobbe: faced any problems with outdated os after the supported period? [05:48] rww: thanks, gotta check if it's easy to upgrade [05:48] In case anyone is curious: http://pastebin.com/gDuga3dc [05:48] Lanlost: it seems to connect two computers with usb you need this strange cable is this what you have? http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=506029 [05:48] !upgrade | palam: The instructions you'd use: [05:48] palam: The instructions you'd use:: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:48] Sacarlson, I got it working [05:49] Gigacore, there used to be a method involving the use of hcitool, but I don't know how it went and the tutorial is gone now. And I don't think it works since changes made in 10.04. [05:49] Lanlost: cool, but is that what you used? [05:49] What? [05:49] no.. [05:49] rww: thanks [05:49] palam: no. i update workstation new version as soon as new comes available and server's when new lts comes [05:49] ribot: no...of course not...i am trying to use lxdmconf...the program starts when started as user, but says it needs to be ran as root when i try to apply the changes. when i run it as root i get a few errors and the program doesn't start. [05:49] My wifi card doesn't work so what I do is connect to my wireless router with my Android G1 (my old phone) [05:49] GaryD: sorry but i don't know that program [05:50] Lanlost: then how is it you connected your xbox to ubuntu with usb cables? [05:50] GaryD: Nice: some how your only 5 years ahead of me and having 2 kids and a wife and have the time to answer questions like mine, I take my hat off to you sir! [05:50] and then Cyanogen's ROM for the G1 has 'tethering' which is really just internet connection sharing. You can share your internet connection with wifi or USB. [05:50] definity: lol...the kids are in bed. the wife is watching tv and working on art. i am left to do my own thing (for now) [05:50] If you share with wifi though, you can't be using the wifi connection (which I am). This isn't a problem for most people though. Most people aren't using the feature like I am. Most will be using their 3g connection and then sharing that via wifi to create a 'hotspot' so that they can get online with their laptop [05:51] oh, looks like it's quite easy to upgrade. i'm going to install 10.04 and hope that i'll be able to find a wifi card that works. *fingers crossed* [05:51] I just learned a philosphy...If i stay on this chat room for long enough will I become a Ubuntu guru? [05:51] hello [05:51] I have Apache 2.2 installed, where do I change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All"? [05:52] definity: if you keep trying things out in ubuntu you will [05:52] TheMusicGuy: looks like it is a bug - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bluetooth/2010-December/009303.html [05:52] when you come to chatrooms like these you can get amazed of how anyone can possibly know so much about a subject [05:53] Ribot: the only problem is.... im in terminal (No GUI) so no multi screening, So I have to remember all the commands typed into here and then exit and retype them [05:53] definity: no mouse? [05:54] definity: no mouse? [05:54] No GUI [05:54] definity: you are learning in hardcore :) [05:54] has anyone seen this before, its shaken me a little so I'm hunting around: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/138058 [05:54] Gigacore, I believe that person was trying to make a connection the other direction. [05:54] definity: not even ncurses then? [05:54] Ribot: [05:55] Ribot: what is Ncurse? [05:55] genuinely scary [05:55] I'm trying to share my Internet connection with my Treo over Bluetooth 1.x protocols... [05:55] ribot: definity has lost all gui from his system....i assume he is with us on a live cd??? [05:55] idk [05:55] definity uhm well do you know the terminal program screen? [05:55] GaryD no Live CD.. I wish i could just reboot then. This was a USB install from the latest version. [05:55] TheMusicGuy: hmmm.. however I was able to setup a bluetooth network between my two ubuntu 10.10 machines [05:56] ActionParsnip: that's a big on the freaky deaky side [05:56] TheMusicGuy: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/use-your-treo-650-internet-connection.html [05:56] KM0201: exactly [05:56] As I recall, the laptop is supposed to wait for the treo to try to connect, not the other way around. [05:56] GaryD: that includes all terminal program? not sure what gui means exactly in this context [05:56] KM0201: thats why I'm asking here [05:56] u got me [05:56] ActionParsnip, no, that's the wrong directio [05:56] n [05:56] I'm tempted to jsut install Gopher and just use the machine in terminal and convice my friends im Neo... LOL [05:57] all it takes is a green screen [05:57] is there any other channel where I could ask a question about Blender besides #Blender? Im geting no feedback from people on that channel :/ [05:57] TheMusicGuy: so you want the treo to get web access via the Ubuntu system? [05:57] definity, try the matrix screen saver , that one is really fun [05:57] How can I re-enable the icons for the System menu? [05:57] ActionParsnip, yes. I've done it once before, but that was over a year ago, when things were very different. [05:58] and guys, after I install nVidia drivers on my Dell XPS 15, it starts only with the CLI. It needs me to boot using failsafe mode and then delete the xorg.conf file. Performing nvidia-xconfig doesn't help either. Any fix? [05:58] GaryD: GUI as in (Graphical User Interface) E.G Windows X manager i think [05:58] TheMusicGuy: old methods still fly dude [05:58] Hi, I'm using Disk Usage Analyzer to free HD space. It says that my Total filesystem capacity is 48.5 GB of which 42.2 GB is used. However, when I scan my home file system, it is only accounting for 20GB. Can somebody help me figure out where that remaining 28GB of space is being used for? [05:58] or just Windows X [05:58] ActionParsnip, actually, it was probably over two years ago. And not always. If they had, I wouldn't be asking now. [05:58] definity: you didn't answer, but you can copy-paste in termanal by using "screen"... if you start screen and then sign on to irc from that command-line [05:58] Gigacore, so will it run X yes or no [05:58] OT: Using Blender 2.5Beta (2.55.0), I need to add a button to the left 3D editor viewport Tool panel, but I cannot see the "Add Tool button" How can I show this button?? TIA!!! [05:58] i downloaded xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 then i use unetbootin and after booting through pen drive it says [05:58] no init found.try passing init= bootarg [05:58] busbox v1.15.3(ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built in shell (ash) [05:58] enter help for a list of boot in commands [05:58] (initrants) _ [05:58] Arpit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:59] Gigacore, like try xinit from the command line [05:59] Ribot: sorry for not answering, this chat move fast sometimes and i dont realise. [05:59] sync3times: it does not run X after installing the driver, it requires me to delete xorg.conf files [06:00] hey i need some help related to ubuntu [06:00] and so it gets back to integrated intel hd gfx [06:00] definity: using screen you can jump from different terminals without using any x [06:00] Gigacore, did you delete xorg.conf? [06:00] can anyone help me out? [06:00] irshad: you sure? [06:00] morning,assistance pls, I'm running gnome as my DM,tried to add Lubuntu with all default addons via Synaptic,but when I log into lubuntu desktop no menus or window frames loads... [06:00] Arpit: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [06:00] sync3times: yes there is no other way.. even reconfiguring the file and restarting the X server doesnt work [06:01] irshad: ask away [06:01] Ribot: thanks dude il give it a go! [06:01] am i supposed to login with Lubuntu Openbox? [06:01] Gigacore, so you have a native adapter and an nvidia adapter? [06:01] i installed ubuntu 10.10 but my mouse and keyboard stops functioning after the login. [06:01] means what md5?? [06:01] definity: just write screen in commandline...then probably you have to press enter, and then sign on to irc from there, and come back here and i will tell you [06:01] Ribot: Nope it dont work.. [06:01] same happened when i installed fedora [06:01] N8Wulf: log off, select LXDE as session, log on [06:01] ahhh ok [06:02] sync3times: yes.. my laptop has integrated intel hd gfx and nvidia gpu [06:02] Arpit: its a way of checking the ISO was healthy and consistent. [06:02] ok, will try that quick [06:02] thanx [06:02] Ribot: thanks! il give it ago... [06:02] pls tell me how to check ?? [06:02] Arpit: basically you have used an unchecked file, you could have only downloaded a part of the file, and you have no idea if the file you have doesn't have errors [06:02] !md5 | Arpit [06:02] Arpit: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:02] sync3times: I believe this has something to do with the new nVidia Optimus which switches from integrated gfx to nVidia whenever it needs (it works fine on windows) [06:02] Hi, I'm using Disk Usage Analyzer to free HD space. It says that my Total filesystem capacity is 48.5 GB of which 42.2 GB is used. However, when I scan my home file system, it is only accounting for 20GB. Does anyone know where that remaining 28GB of space is being used for? [06:02] Gigacore, that makes little sense. laptops dont have both very often. If you do lspci -v | grep -i nvidia do you see anything? [06:03] Arpit: please tell 2 of your friends about MD5 summing [06:03] boxbeatsy: the journal [06:03] Gigacore, it switches driving the native LCD? [06:04] ActionParsnip: sorry, what's the journal? [06:04] Gigacore, did the driver install correctly? [06:05] boxbeatsy: its what stops fragmentation and keeps a track of the files. You are more than likely using Ext4 which is a jounalized file sytstem. Ext2 is NOT journalized so can fragment. The 8Gb you are "missing" is more than likely the storage for the journals [06:05] sync3times: i've not connected any external display to my laptop.. so it switches between each other and displays on the same inbuilt display on laptop [06:05] boxbeatsy: you can reduce the space needed for the journal and is especially advised in large partitions where it can get into 100s of Gb [06:05] ActionParsnip: I see. I'ma ctually missing 28GB. Is it possible that it's taking up so much space, and is there anyway to decrease the amount of space it's taking? [06:06] sync3times: the driver has been installed correctly, but there is some issue with the configuration [06:06] question: I am running win7, i have 1.66GHZ and 4GB or RAM, if I will install 32bit Ubuntu 10.10 will I be able to use the full 4GB memory ? [06:06] sasori: nope [06:06] ActionParsnip: I see. waht should i google for to find out more? Ubuntu Journal is bringing up journal software [06:06] boxbeatsy: what is the output of: df -h please use http://pastie.org (or similar) to give the output. Thanks [06:06] Gigacore, I have heard of the switching. But I dont know how to do it linux. I would check in bios and see if there is a way to force it to be nvidia all the time. Try to boot up in non-graphics mode. safe vga mode or whatever. [06:06] ok [06:06] Ribot: i tryed it and it did not work. still stays on standard IRC 4Bit graphics [06:07] definity: what did not work? [06:07] sync3times: http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html [06:07] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1384820 [06:07] mm [06:07] Baba-b00ie: so 64bit will be able to utilize the full 4GB then ? [06:07] sync3times: I tried that in bios, but there is no option to set nvidia to default.. but in windows, in nvidia setup tool there is an option to set the nvidia gpu as default [06:07] Gigacore, I would try to make sure that linux is in plain text console mode until its ready to run full X. Try to turn off all bootsplash stuff. [06:08] definity: it will not change your graphics, it will give you the possibility to copy-paste without graphics, and also you don't have to quit irc to try stuff [06:08] definity: but you have to understand what you are supposed to do first [06:08] boxbeatsy: ok quite low free space, but your home is on the same partition as / so this is kinda expected. I suggest you uninstall old kernels. This can claw back a lot of space if you have lots of surplus kernels [06:08] ahh so just copy and paste [06:08] thats cool [06:09] Gigacore, try to stay non-graphics until the last second and then fire up the nvidia drivers. [06:09] definity: no, also you will be able to come back to the chat and see old messages [06:09] microsoft cam has a microphone cam works how do bring mic to life [06:09] sync3times: ok.. i will try [06:09] ActionParsnip: ok, I will do that. so, you don't think it's the journal then? [06:09] sync3times: thank you! [06:09] By pressing print scrn? [06:09] Gigacore, good luck [06:10] i tryed that and it didnt work [06:10] while installing opera my system switched off because of power failure [06:10] definity: no [06:10] hey, i was hoping for soem apt tips: i want to 1) see if a package is installed explicitly or to satisfy a dependancy and 2) given an installed package list all the dependancies installed JUST for this package... aka ones that will be removed with this [06:10] now i cant install or remove any packages [06:10] i cant run any PyQT application on ubuntu 10.10, i get this message http://pastebin.ca/2021841 , any solution ? [06:10] definity: how do you start your irc client? [06:10] boxbeatsy: not sure, for a 50gb partition the usual journal would be 8Gb (15% as far as I remember) [06:10] sreeju: well, what happens when you try to install packages [06:11] showing error in terminal that opera needs to be reinstalled but cant find the archeive [06:11] sreeju: because the error you get, tells you exactly what to do. [06:11] epic5 -a irc.freenode.net [06:11] sreeju: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update [06:11] what is a pulse audio server need to make mic frommicrosoft cam work [06:11] i had to get Epic5 from doing a apt-get Install epic command === manuel__ is now known as mannyuel [06:12] its like im in DOS [06:12] cntb: pulse is pulse dude [06:12] cntb: does it have an inbuilt mic? [06:12] but its in Terminal [06:12] definity: terminal is like dos, but waaay more powerful. It's more like powershell in windows [06:12] which java should i install? [06:12] definity what you need to do is to start your irc client after you have started screen. To do that you have to do this, and read very carefully: after you exit here, type "screen" and press enter. After that, read the message if you get one and press enter. Then from there, type "epic5 -a irc.freenode.net" [06:12] which java should i install? or rather best java for ubuntu? [06:12] mannyuel: one which suits your needs [06:12] ya its updating [06:13] mannyuel: for browser? or compiler? [06:13] mannyuel: if you need the stuff the sun java gives, use it. If open java does what you need then use that [06:13] sreeju: any errors? [06:13] mannyuel: there is no single best app for anything [06:13] i think its for a compiler.... im installing a program called jstock that requires java [06:13] mannyuel: in any OS [06:13] no downloading the files... [06:14] night time... later fellas [06:14] mannyuel: install openjdk and gcj [06:14] mannyuel: then if it needs sun java then use that [06:14] Ribot: i have done that and i came back. and thats why im talking to you now, it didnt work!! but im willing to give it another go... thanks for the help bud!!! [06:14] thanks guys [06:15] i cant run any PyQT application on ubuntu 10.10, i get this message http://pastebin.ca/2021841 , any solution ?

[06:15] sasori: what model lenovo? [06:15] definity if you came back here then maybe it did work [06:15] definity: how can you say it didnt work when you dont know what will happen [06:15] ActionParsnip: Lenovo Y410 59012531 [06:15] i had to type in the command to open up epic5 agian [06:16] I think i jsut need to reinstall a GUI from windows X up [06:16] sasori: you may need some options but lenovo are usually ok [06:16] definity: yes but when you are inside screen you can do stuff [06:16] sasori: if you run alsamixer in terminal, are all levels cranked and unmuted [06:16] dpkg: error processing opera (--remove): [06:16] Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [06:16] reinstall it before attempting a removal. [06:16] Errors were encountered while processing: [06:16] opera [06:16] W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_lucid_free_binary-i386_Packages) [06:16] sreeju: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:17] showed like this when i tried to remove opera [06:17] ActionParsnip: hi, so i just isnatlled 3 older kernels, and rescanned my disk, but i didn't see any space freed up. do i need to restart to see the effects? [06:17] ActionParsnip: *uninstalled [06:17] ActionParsnip: I don't have ubuntu installed yet, as am thinking of the things to have when reformatting..am still in ubuntu,,right now am thinking about the sound drivers and etc, that comes with a laptop when one buys it [06:17] ok, so i typed screen and then the command to open up IRC... now what? [06:17] i mean am still in windows 7 [06:18] boxbeatsy: no, as long as you have left ONE kernel which is the one with the same version as the RUNNING kernel, you are fine [06:18] how do i set my desktop sesion environment? [06:18] i press Prt Scrn button and nothing happens [06:18] ActionParsnip: ya, that's what i did [06:18] ActionParsnip: any other ideas on what could be taking up that 28GB? [06:18] sasori: ok run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add this line: options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=fujitsu save the new file, close gedit, reboot [06:18] gigacore sorry did not see you [06:18] definity: now you can open another terminal... you have to do two things: 1) press ctrl+a and then c (a new terminal will open) 2) press ctrl+a twice (you will come back here) [06:18] gigacore yes built in [06:19] Ribot: how do i do that [06:19] ActionParsnip: am still on windows ...may i know if you have any resources where i can read some tutorial how to fully setup a lenovo with ubuntu 10.10 ? [06:19] gigacore lifecam vx-1000 [06:19] cntb: then probably pulse audio enables the inbuilt mic to work.. [06:20] inbuilt in cam? [06:20] inbuilt mic [06:20] boxbeatsy: try installing and running bleachbit as both user and root, have as many apps closed as you can to free up the files, don't use the options which say they will take a long time and watch your browser settings or it'll remove stuff you want. Claws back a lot of space wit temp guff [06:20] in PC no none gigacore [06:21] cntb: does ur webcam comes with an inbuilt mic? [06:21] sasori: I just found that boot option which I guy had for fixing Hardy, but the same options are needed by you. [06:21] yes gigacore [06:21] ActionParsnip: ok will do. thanks for all your help! [06:21] works in windows and skype windows finds it [06:21] dang [06:21] cntb: thats the reason why u see pulse audio stuff [06:22] 有中国人吗 [06:22] ok...i guess i'm out. [06:22] ActionParsnip: how bout for the built-in webcam ? [06:22] ??? gigacore skype test in ubuntu doesnot record audio [06:22] maybe level? gigacore? [06:22] sasori: if you run: lsusb you will see 1 line with an 8 character Hex ID split in 2, use that ID to find guides [06:23] cntb: does it work in the ubuntu sound recorder? [06:23] ActionParsnip: i don't understand XD [06:23] cntb: check if in the input is muted in sound preference [06:23] sasori: press CTRL+ALT+T and run: lsusb [06:23] sasori: 1 line will identify the cam [06:23] ok [06:24] ActionParsnip: how bout the bluetooth ? [06:24] sasori: copy the Hex ID for the device and use it to find guides, it will look something like this: 0b97:7762 [06:24] sasori: bluetooth should just work [06:24] ActionParsnip: for built-in mic ? [06:24] Gigacore> cntb: check if in the input is muted in sound preference .where do I check muted? inskype or administration [06:24] sasori: but it will be attached to the same USB bus so you can use the same method [06:25] cntb: System > Preference > Sound > Input Tab > Input Volume [06:25] sasori: once you use the sound option, the mic will work too as its part of the sound card, just like in windows when you give the OS the sound driver the mic works [06:25] ActionParsnip, doesnot work in sound recoreder either [06:25] gigacore thks goin htere [06:25] ok thanks parsnip [06:25] cntb: Gigacore seems to have some ideas [06:26] cntb: i'd use sound recorder to test, skype can have issues with mics which wont show the mic to really be working. if sound recorder works then you are golden [06:27] I had similar issue testing the mic in skype.. the input was muted in sound preference :P [06:27] hey folks, so ive got an old school imac hanging around, not sure what version or whatever but its got the old CRT monitor and i want to whipe macOS and just have an ubuntu install on board, has anyone done this before that cna possibly help? the hard drive is pretty small as well does anyone know what would happen if i installed a large hard drive that already has ubuntu on board? [06:27] ActionParsnip, gigacore very good found life cam mic there wasnot choosen and yes was muted [06:27] Is grooveshark broken for anyone else? [06:27] They don't use flash anymore, they use ajax or something? [06:27] will chkskpe or sound rec now [06:27] cntb: i got curious bout your problem are you using the latest sype on windows before ? [06:28] GuyCanada: theres a PPC build of Ubuntu [06:28] cntb: test with skype now [06:28] sasori windows ok now in ubuntu want some system virus proof for my old man [06:29] cntb: i just wanna know how do you record conversations in skype ? :D [06:29] JohnTeddy: works fine here in chromium daily [06:29] cntb: you don't need AV in Ubuntu unless you're running a fileserver or email server [06:30] ActionParsnip: thanks, firefox is broken [06:30] sasori good idea let me know if you did [06:30] JohnTeddy: sounds about right [06:30] ok ActionParsnip [06:30] cntb: i see, there's an extra manager ..tnx for the idea :D [06:30] !virus | cntb [06:30] cntb: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:31] cntb: test with skype and let me know.. i need to leave soon [06:31] ok gigacore [06:31] ctionparsnip: whats a PPC build entail? sorry im fairly fammiliar ith computers ive installed ubuntu and many other distros but never on a macintosh machine [06:31] actionparsnip: ^ [06:32] GuyCanada: old mac used awesome ppc chips instead of intel ones they use now, there are special builds for PPC so you can run Ubuntu on it [06:32] !Ppc [06:32] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [06:32] ActionParsnip, I know that is why cntb: just be sure to install openssh-server and port forward i his router so you can ssh in and fix stuff :) [06:33] actionparsnip: thanks, so do you know if i download this ppc build and put it onto a disk how i would install it? i dont know how to get into the boot menu or whatever the equivalent would be on the imac [06:33] i need help syncing my itouch 4G with rhythmbox. when i plug it in, it mounts and immediately unmounts. it's listed as "unknown device" on rhythmbox for the very very small time it's mounted. when i open it on nautilus, it recommends i open shotwell to check it out. when i do that, it lists it as a "usb ptp class camera" on it. anyways, can someone help me with this? [06:33] GuyCanada: make the mac boot whatever media you create (USB / CD) and run through the installer [06:33] !mac [06:33] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [06:34] well look at that [06:35] thanks a lot [06:35] furi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [06:35] furi: i'd personally take it back and buy something decent, and with linux support [06:35] Gigacore, thks if you go will continue to try sound recorder and skype still dont get from mic [06:35] ActionParsnip, i already tried that page to no avail [06:36] Gigacore, althoughlifecam monomic appears inSystem > Preference > Sound > Input Tab > Input Volume [06:36] cntb: strange.. fine [06:36] ah [06:36] ActionParsnip, well, i chose this over the zune, thinking zune would be a much much worse idea [06:36] bye guys [06:36] bye [06:37] man i came dangerously close to buying an iphone last christmas when i was still relatively new to open source/linux/ubuntu. thank god i didnt, its annoying enough making my itouch work ( which is why i hardly use it anymore) [06:37] furi: what about the many other makes.... Cowon make sweet players, some of which play Ogg [06:37] hi [06:38] hi [06:38] i installed caliber. which is best format to download http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5000 === ghost is now known as Guest12002 [06:39] AbhiJit: I'd go for the HTML, no need for any apps as it can be opened in your web browser [06:40] ActionParsnip, i think it'd be best if i just sync from my mother's PC, which is running windows [06:40] ActionParsnip, ok. i was just curios about using app [06:42] Even though I have reserved separate partition for ubuntu, it does show me low memory? [06:42] AbhiJit: then see what the app uses and cater to that [06:43] sl33k_: drive space isn't memory [06:43] ActionParsnip, ok [06:43] ActionParsnip: is it because of numerous tabs and windows open? [06:44] sl33k_: memory is RAM and used to store apps while they run as well as any values created whilst it runs, drive space is used to permanently store data as well as your documents [06:44] sl33k_: if you have lots of tabs open in a browser it will use a lot of RAM but this can occur in an OS assigned only 4Gb to store the OS [06:45] need sound test for secondary mic on terminal some basic utility [06:45] how can I upgrade from 10.04 LTS to the latest? [06:46] in built life cam mic wont record a sound [06:46] !upgrade | mister_m [06:46] mister_m: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:46] ActionParsnip: I guess I have assigned it 4Gb, can it be changed or something? [06:46] mister_m: I suggest you use the server method, its super easy [06:47] sl33k_: the drive space will only restrict the amount of web cache you have. If you have 64Gb RAM, you can easily open thousands of tabs without the OS slowing down toomuch [06:47] how to check sound on terminal [06:48] cntb: Vrious ways, but try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" [06:48] cntb: you can use aplay or mplayer in terminal to play aidio [06:49] *audio [06:49] ActionParsnip: Will this be more frequent? Is the solution is to upgrade RAM? [06:49] i want to increase the swap space. i already have some free space in my drive. how do add this free space to my existing swap space? [06:49] sl33k_: if you like to open a tonne of tabs then you may need to [06:49] my recording not ok [06:49] mic on life cam [06:50] cntb: links ? [06:50] cntb: if you run: lsusb what is the identifying line for the cam? [06:51] jrib: Hey Idk if you are here now but i ended up burning a 7.10 CD. Thing is it doesnt auto boot to live cd after x seconds it just sits at that menu, keybaord still doesnt work. I tried a new gaming keyboard I bought today too and that didnt work either [06:51] cntb: there are many microsoft lifecams, we need to know which you have [06:51] vx-1000 [06:51] lifecam vx-1000 [06:52] 0 [06:52] cntb: does the camera part work ok in cheese? [06:52] i want to increase the swap space. i already have some free space in my drive. how do add this free space to my existing swap space? should i delete the existing swap space and then make a new swap with the increased size or should i just format the free space as a new space (in the later case i'll have 2 swap partitions)? [06:52] andrewfree: Gutsy is dead and gone dude, its not supported in any way [06:53] ActionParsnip, camera part perfect on cheese === camel_ is now known as camel2320 [06:54] ActionParsnip: Well thing is 10.10 wouldnt boot because i have a 32 bit processor. And regardless what os i try to boot from no keyboard works even when trying to access grub or bios. Lke it just wont pick up any keyboards anymore idk what the hell to do [06:54] cntb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/3557/how-can-i-get-my-microsoft-lifecam-vx-1000-webcam-microphone-to-work look at fix #3 [06:54] andrewfree: there is a 32Bit version of maverick [06:55] who [06:55] ActionParsnip: I was trying 7.10 because it worked before [06:55] andrewfree: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ [06:55] andrewfree: its not supported in any way you can name, it's dead [06:55] andrewfree: sorry [06:56] ok [06:56] 什么啊 [06:56] andrewfree: sounds like a hardware issue [06:56] i checnked it with md5sum its says they are same [06:56] checked* [06:56] Arpit: good :) [06:57] list #ubuntu-cn [06:57] Arpit: remember to check before using ISO files in futur. [06:57] okay but now what should i do [06:57] its not working [06:57] me too [06:58] meh app crashed [06:58] should i rewrite my problem? [06:58] how do I force install a .deb file? [06:58] thks ActionParsnip [06:59] one more this pc runs on opteron [06:59] Arpit: did you use a CD or USB to install with? [06:59] usb [06:59] must I choose kernel amd64 ActionParsnip ? [06:59] akshatj: ok did you check your RAM for errors as well as the USB consistency? [06:59] cntb: you don't need the kernel, thats not solution #3 [07:00] i give up, reinstalling grub on windows installed ubuntu doesnt work!! [07:00] akshatj: its not advised at all but you can do it if you really want to [07:00] ActionParsnip, no it is an error in the package not in my system [07:00] Anyone use AQEMU before? Specificly does anyone know how to make a bridged network connection for VMs? [07:00] akshatj: you can use: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename but its not good for your packages === andrew_ is now known as Guest22441 [07:00] ActionParsnip, it is about some sound file in /opt anyway [07:01] i used USB [07:01] Arpit: ok did you check your RAM for errors as well as the USB consistency? [07:01] unable to create `/opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music/einleitung.mp3.dpkg-new' (while processing `/opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music/einleitung.mp3'): No such file or directory [07:01] dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) [07:01] ok [07:01] makulkar: no grub won't work on a wubi (windows install) system, I'm not sure how you could fix a wubi loader. [07:02] when i installed ubuntu older version with the same usb its working but not with xubuntu10-10 [07:02] saw fix 3 ActionParsnip played with that a while ago [07:02] will try again [07:02] bye [07:03] sacarlson, ok :( I tried few hacks but ur right. Any clue how i can take bacup of my data? I want few patches!! [07:03] makulkar: if you used wubi this may help http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 [07:03] akshatj: do the folders named there, exist? [07:04] ActionParsnip, I don't think so [07:04] akshatj: if you run: sudo mkdir -p /opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music then retry, does it work? [07:05] makulkar: I guess to at least boot you will have to use a windows install disk to fix the mbr then find a way to backup the virtual partitions that the wubi install created inside the windows partition. then install a ubuntu system and find a way to mount and recover the data inside them [07:07] anyone manage to reloack booloader on nex1 yet? [07:08] ActionParsnip, thanks it worked [07:09] I have to tell the Humble Bundle people that they have an error in their package [07:10] how to check ram for errors?? [07:10] and usb consistency also? [07:11] Arpit: when the USB starts to boot and you see the stickman at the bottom of the screen, press SPACE [07:11] Arpit: both checks are on the same page there [07:11] okay then what? [07:11] k let me c [07:16] how do i find out the uuid of any partition? [07:17] rigved: In /etc/fstab [07:17] bullgard4: i need the uuid of a partition which not present in fstab, so that i can add it to fstab [07:19] rigved: Try to find it out using GParted. [07:19] bullgard4: ok. let me try that [07:20] how to open the desktop folders of another account from present account??????????? [07:21] bullgard4: gparted is different from the existing disk utility in ubuntu 10.04? [07:22] buhh: is the home folder of the other account encrypted? [07:23] rigved: I do not understand your question. What is different from what? Say it in other words, please. [07:23] #openplug [07:24] bullgard4: there is already a Disk Utility in my System > Administration menu. is that Gparted or do i need to install it seperately? [07:24] rigved,i have saved some folders in desktop of another user account ..it is not root....now i am using root account but how to open them with out loginng off from present root [07:24] bullgard4: never mind. i found out via software center that i need to install gparted [07:26] hey everyone is there anyway to get Pidgin to integrate with the Messaging Menu in Ubuntu? [07:26] buhh: if that other account uses an encrypted home folder, then you can only access those files when that user is also logged in. if it's not encrypted, then you can just browse his desktop folder, which will be under /home/ [07:26] rigved: I thought gparted was installed as default and normaly found at System>admin>gparted, also I found the utilty from the command line sudo blkid will list all uuid on your system [07:27] rigved: Ubuntu knows several disk utilities. The "Disk Utility" which you can call by clicking on System > Administration > Disk Utility is only one of several disk utilities. Please install GParted separately. [07:27] sacarlson: i tried blkifd from the CLI like suggested in fstab but could not get the uuid? what did you type exactly? [07:28] bullgard4: ok. i have it installed. will check it now [07:29] rigved: example sudo blkid /dev/sda1 [07:29] /dev/sda1: LABEL="/" UUID="ca8855eb-ef44-420f-b187-1a06f6d436b0" TYPE="ext3" [07:29] bullgard4: got it from gparted. thanx [07:30] sacarlson: fstab suggested something with more options. thanx [07:30] rigved: Enjoy Ubuntu! [07:30] if i want to scan my windows partition for viruses from ubuntu what should I use? [07:30] bullgard4: i already have been since Lucid was released :) [07:30] aidrocsid, there is clamav [07:30] rigved: yes the line you put in fstab has many options [07:31] aidrocsid, you can also get a live cd with AVG on it and boot off that and scan your windows partition [07:31] aidrocsid: you can use clamav [07:31] how much .config mucking does clamav take? [07:31] aidrocsid, umm there is a gtk version [07:32] oo [07:32] or a gui for it [07:32] aidrocsid: none, it's in the repo although the clamav ppa has newer stuffs [07:32] Hi, I need an address I sh I change a file, but after changing back the same amount the previous ten who can help me tell what my problem? [07:32] wow i have zero space left and i don't even know what's taking it up lolol [07:32] what a mess this machine is right now [07:32] aidrocsid: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get -y install clamav; sudo freshclam [07:32] Hi, I need an address I sh I change a file, but after changing back the same amount the previous ten who can help me tell what my problem? [07:33] aidrocsid, you can use the Disk Usage Analyzer to show you what is using up all the space [07:33] aidrocsid: i suggest uninstalling openoffice and any old unused kernels you may have, frees up lots of space.

[07:37] yay space [07:37] ubottu,cdbs this language is persian not arabic [07:37] Can anyone clarify the difference b/w sendmail, mail, postfix? [07:37] can anybody help me with my email? claws email wants to download all my emails from gmail I only want it to download new ones [07:38] messmi IMAP? [07:38] tnm: don't they have there own method of packages? most ubuntu deb won't run on DSL it's a total different lib colection [07:38] s5s no pop3 [07:38] lol i tried to "instill" clam av [07:39] lol [07:39] it told me it's outdated then did some stuff and told me its outdated again, now it's just sorta sitting there [07:39] messmi: I don't know then. I'd advise you to use IMAP but if you really need POP3 then have a look in google. It'll save us both time [07:39] this is after freshclam [07:40] sacarlson, damn small linux is debian based system, but i cannot install .deb packages http://www.linux-support.com/cms/en/component/content/article/4-howtos/139-how-to-install-deb-packages?directory=14 [07:40] aidrocsid: the command i gave with the ppa will give a newer lot [07:40] aidrocsid: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get -y install clamav; sudo freshclam [07:40] sudo apt-get install -y clamav? [07:40] oh all as one [07:40] s5s I have no problem using imap i can change it. I have googled it and i cant find an aswer what would u do if i was using I map? [07:41] aidrocsid: yes all as one [07:41] Where do I increase the number of Virtual Desktops? [07:41] aidrocsid: as you already have it installed you just need: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo freshclam === Midget is now known as Guest95443 [07:41] Zues: if you use compiz, in ccsm === Guest95443 is now known as GetMid [07:42] I am, thanks. [07:42] freshclam is already locked by another process! ;o [07:42] :o [07:42] aidrocsid: then let it finish [07:42] Anyone had any weird experiences after deletinh their tmp folder? [07:42] messmi - it's automatic. It only receives new messages. I used to use claws mail but now I'm stuck with evince which is rubish [07:43] oh. uh, i closed that terminal lol [07:43] it was just sitting there forever i figured it was done :\ [07:43] messmi: you shouldn't need to do anything special to make it download only new ones. [07:43] GetMid: if you mean /tmp, then that's a bad idea [07:43] hi guys, there was Win+D key in windows which used to minimize all windows .. is there any similar key combination for ubuntu ?? [07:43] s5s ok. I love claws and it was untill thisafternoon only downloading new ones but then it decided it wanted to download all my archives [07:44] hmmm brb [07:44] yup /tmp [07:44] ActionParsnip: Where at in ccsm? [07:44] GetMid: never just clear that out, you'll break things (but a reboot fixes it). only delete stuff when you know what it is and are sure it's safe [07:44] Zues: press ALT+F2 and type: ccsm if you don't have it and ARE running compiz (desktop effects) then run: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:45] tsimpson, I know that now :) [07:46] ActionParsnip: I got ccsm installed and running, but I think I found it under: General options -> Desktop Size and changed the Horizontal value to 5 from 4 [07:46] s5s i found my problem === _Selac is now known as Selac [07:47] i was messing around in the gmail settings and hit download all mail instead of mail from now on s5s [07:47] !dialup [07:47] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [07:47] But it was strange. All video and audio progressbars speed up while all sound was muted. Even flash in firefox. System monitor showed loads of root processes, and I thought I was being hacked [07:47] so if avg didn't find it, do you think clamav will? [07:48] i checked for ram errors no errors found [07:48] Zues: nice [07:48] aidrocsid: possibly [07:48] ActionParsnip: Thanks [07:49] bullgard4, sacarlson: i needed to follow these instructions also - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq. now i have increased by swap space. thanx [07:49] action:i checked for ram errors also its completely fine [07:49] what should i do now [07:51] I installed Uniyt in Lucid, and now Y dont have the panel, or the launcher, just background and guake [07:51] nor network-manager [07:51] i downloaded xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 then i use unetbootin and after booting through pen drive it says [07:51] no init found.try passing init= bootarg [07:51] busbox v1.15.3(ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built in shell (ash) [07:51] enter help for a list of boot in commands [07:51] (initrants) _ [07:51] Arpit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:52] fagnet [07:52] Could someone recommend a place / site / channell to go to. I am looking to build ubuntu from the bottom up, much like LFS, Gentoo.... from source etc.... That I can customize my Ubuntu in every aspect...installing the stuff I need pertaining to my system..?? [07:52] opensauce: [07:53] do you wanna compile from source for everything? [07:53] i5noc^3: do you have an Ubuntu question? [07:53] if so its probably not a great approach [07:53] if your trying to get a nice minimal install that's pretty easy [07:53] i5noc^3: one more time, do you have an Ubuntu question? [07:53] ActionParsnip: if i did i would have asked it [07:53] !ask | ActionParsnip [07:53] ActionParsnip: 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. :-) [07:54] action:do u have the solution of my question [07:54] i5noc^3: then kindly cease your pointless spamming [07:54] i5noc^3 - well I would like to create everything from the kernel upwards... much like LFS and Gentoo do... can that be possible? [07:54] ActionParsnip: please learn to read. [07:54] Installed Unity in lucid and now I can't see the panel or launcher, no network-manager either [07:54] opensauce: there's a great project called lfs - linux from source [07:54] can't close session to restore gnome [07:54] Arpit: i suggest you try Ubuntu or Lubuntu instead, just to test [07:54] linux from scratch sorry [07:54] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [07:55] i5noc^3: gentoo has been "from source" for ages... [07:55] i5noc^3 - I know of that...but its not debian based / ubuntu based... I am looking to use the tools / apps I already know? [07:55] debain based linux distro's are based on unified package management for the most part [07:55] opensauce: could use ubuntu minimal then build up from that [07:55] ActionParsnip: still big [07:55] ActionParsnip - really? [07:55] is there a way of expanding my wubi virtual drive without making it "real" [07:55] ? [07:55] ActionParsnip: lightest install you can do is a netinstall of server as minimal [07:55] install the generic kernel, remove the server kernel [07:55] ActionParsnip - is there more on this somewhere? - build from source? [07:56] i5noc^3: not if you only install LXDE, makes a pretty punchy desktop install, or install samba for a sleek fileserver [07:56] and then add packages sparsely as needeed [07:56] i told u ubuntu is working but its old version i dnt have new version [07:56] s/needeed/needed [07:56] ActionParsnip: too heavy [07:56] i5noc^3: compared to what, xpud? [07:56] plz, I hate Windows already [07:56] icewm for instance, flux/open/blackbox [07:57] i5noc^3: lxde ram use is minimal and gives a familiar desktop environment, remember the audience ubuntu is aimed at [07:57] there are other distos that are meant to be light opensauce its not done well on ubuntu, it supports too much stuff out of the box in general [07:57] ActionParsnip: please remember the audience indeed sir [07:57] opensauce: what WM do you want? do you want compiz? [07:57] you dont need ANY other wm than that [07:57] i5noc^3: ubuntu minimal + flwm will be a fair bit lighter, why not ust use minimal as is and not use X, thats lighter still... [07:58] but your stated desire is from source, it can be done, but it wont be light [07:58] i5noc^3: use mutt for email, w3m for web and irssi for chat [07:58] i5noc^3 - it is more of the experience... I want to learn the Heart of ubuntu - much like LFS... I want to experience building and customizing my Ubuntu box from the heart up.... installing everything that is required and wanted... [07:58] throw bitlbee in there and you have your IM taken care of [07:58] aidrocsid: exactly [07:58] i5noc^3 - Its not about being light - but custom. [07:58] i5noc^3: so a non-X install will be lighter than your openbox stuff [07:58] opensauce: then do the server install, install the generic kernel, remove the server kernel, and start with compiling the generic kernel to your specifications [07:58] !kernel [07:58] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [07:59] i have a computer dedicated to 1 full-screen terminal window of irssi with a split-screen, PMs and chat [07:59] synergy is the man [07:59] from there you have a cli system. Next you have to decide on a window manager of some sort (for the most part) [07:59] opensauce: you can use apt-build which is like emerge in gentoo [07:59] etc [07:59] ooooh this sounds cool. [07:59] !source [07:59] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [07:59] mm [08:00] the difference between apt-get and apt-build [08:00] Arpit: download the lubuntu or ubuntu iso and use that instead, it may fly. Also try usb-creator in an ubuntu OS to put the data on the usb device [08:00] opensauce: apt-build builds the debs then installs them, it uses the source repos [08:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-82194.html <- get started with apt-build [08:01] Thanks everyone -- will give it a shot. [08:01] opensauce: you get a choice of how optomized you want them to be and it builds them, its not as flexible as emerge with build options as far as I know but it's another way to install stuff (great over dialup etc as it pulls down source instead of bulky binarys) [08:02] ActionParsnip - Thanks will keep that in mind. [08:02] opensauce: google build flags [08:02] ActionParsnip - Will it work off the bat with a minimal server install? [08:03] opensauce: minimal is minimal dude, there is no minimal server. Install minimal then run: sudo apt-get install apt-build; sudo apt-build update; sudo apt-build all will recompile EVERYTING in the minimal OS, you can then apt-build in more apps, it'll take time and you won't gain much [08:04] omfg [08:04] ActionParsnip: do you even know wtf your talking about? [08:04] !minimal install [08:04] i5noc^3: yep, a fair bit [08:04] not as much as most [08:04] ok [08:04] what does apt-build do ? fetches the source and compiles ? [08:04] !minimal install [08:05] k-rad: yes, it uses the source repos defined in /etc/apt/sources.list [08:05] !minimal [08:05] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:05] oh thank you [08:05] i5noc^3: whats your point? [08:05] and by doing so you can some sort of speed advantage ? [08:05] theres a bot trigger trying to find it [08:05] i think [08:05] !lowmem [08:05] For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems.

[08:07] no you did not sir.

[08:08] ubuntu to [08:08] from the wubi install [08:08] opensauce: try this all in a vm first, save your sanity [08:08] hmm [08:09] i5noc^3: where is this server minmal: MinimalCD [08:09] I am doing just that ;) [08:09] i5noc^3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:09] i5noc^3: there is NO SERVER MINIMAL THRE [08:09] To install a base system, boot from any Alternate CD and choose "Install a command-line system." It is exactly the same command-line system on Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Ubuntu Alternate CDs. [08:09] any other questions that you could have answered with !lowmem you need answered by me? [08:10] :actionparnsip have u seen my new problem [08:10] god let me move on [08:10] i5noc^3: read the links. Those are the OFFICIAL minimal ISOs for each release, at no point does it mention server in the entire page [08:10] aidrocsid: sorry for the inattention - need help ? [08:10] ActionParsnip: please combine my two lines from the page into one big omg [08:10] i5noc^3: point me to the minimal server ISO please [08:10] * i5noc^3 points up to the alternate install cd [08:11] i5noc^3: the alternate CD install the same desktop ust in text mode [08:11] i5noc^3: its not a minimal ISO [08:11] i think i have it actually. I'm going to make some blank space on my drive in windows then format it in ubuntu and transfer the wubi install over to it [08:11] i5noc^3: the minimal ISO installs ONLY kernel, modules and bootloader [08:11] *sighs* [08:11] sir. [08:11] hey i downloaded iso file for ubuntu9.10 and i burned it in dvd then i reboot my windows with dvd in it and then after selecting language it opens into linux mint desktop and my touch pad its not working and neither its detecting my internet connection ,what should i do ?? [08:12] the minimal install we speak of is not on the 'server' cd's [08:12] its on the 'alternate install cds' [08:12] ActionParsnip - Command line install hey? [08:12] the same ones which ditch all the gui and niceness for extra drivers and pacakges and the like [08:12] and its THERE you can install a 'command-line system [08:12] ' which is NOT the same as a minimal or standard server install [08:12] i5noc^3: i know, its different CD altogether, so its different. The alternate is not a minimal server as it doesnt exist. Server is server and minimal is minimal [08:12] i never said it was on its own image [08:13] i said do a minimal server install [08:13] server ~= cli [08:13] well avg is half-done scanning the drive at least and windows hasn't crashed yet so maybe it's actually clean! hooray dealing with 6 problems at once [08:13] bite me [08:13] i5noc^3: i think you are confusing minimal server with a server with no X, which is default [08:13] nope [08:13] !ops [08:13] Help!

[08:15] i5noc^3: minimal iso is the basis of all installation options, including server, alternate and desktop. server includes in addition to the minimal server optimized kernels and modules. alternate can be is meaningful only with desktop installations with quirky hardware or encryption or other more advanced needs. [08:15] ok tell you what. why dont i do a server install then a command-line install, df -h both, and do a dpkg -l > file and a diff [08:16] will you accept my correctness then if i PROVE it? [08:16] anyone can help , i installed ubuntu , and was expect something better performance than win Xp, but so i just try first torrent download and ubuntu starts huge lag when speed is above 50mbit or so and wont hit higher,and linux goes gray back to normal grey and so mouse cracks [08:16] Myrtti: wrong sorry [08:16] !lowmem | Myrtti [08:16] Myrtti: For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems.

[08:17] reboot into windows twice [08:17] WHY unbuntu lags when i download using torrent on high speed internet, it goes gray sometimes even that. [08:18] what for? [08:18] when you use ubuntu to resize sometimes chkdisk needs to run, and to mark the partition clean it needs to be mounted and unmounted twice by windows [08:18] :) [08:18] dglguy: what client? [08:18] aahhhh [08:18] neat thanks :) [08:18] tryied and transmission and ktorrent same thing [08:18] cant hit even half my internet speed [08:19] dglguy, you looked at the port forwarding on your router?

[08:35] generally speaking does LTS have less bugs than latest release ? [08:35] k-rad: kinda, due to maturity [08:35] k-rad: they have longer time to deal with, like ActionParsnip says [08:36] i5noc^3, computer running slow, I run top, see vino-server is taking 100% cpu, and issue a kill -9 [08:36] k-rad: well you cannot the absense of bugs. LTS tries to take a conservative approach when it comes to packages (try not to go bleeding edge in this release). the main thing about LTS it has support (secuirty fixes) for 3 years. [08:36] What time is it ?guys [08:36] 8:36am [08:37] got it [08:38] Stormx2: if its zombie your outta luck [08:38] maybe you could init2 -> init5 [08:38] i5noc^3, I've already told you I've killed it. [08:38] did it die? [08:38] It wasn't stuck in an I/O wait [08:38] Yes, it did [08:38] It just didn't respawn [08:38] then disable it and wait about 3 min [08:38] then enable it and wait a little bit [08:38] how about 8 hours? [08:39] 3min? [08:39] 8 hours > 3 minutes [08:39] My colleague somehow keeps breaking his way into my computer and elevating his permissions to admin via his user account. How could he be doing this? [08:39] brb [08:39] dean[w], check he's not a sudoer [08:39] in /etc/sudoers? [08:39] yeah, iirc. [08:40] dean[w]: do you create him/her in the admin group? [08:40] otherwise just generally check his .bash_history and so forth [08:40] ActionParsnip, nope. I went to administration > users & groups [08:40] dean[w]: strange, do you have a root password set? [08:40] he's not got the admin box ticked but yesterday i noticed my background wallpaper had changed and he'd created an account with username null and elevated his privilidges back to admin [08:41] ActionParsnip, im not sure... [08:41] dean[w]: or do you only use your user account (this is default) [08:41] afaik i only use this account and just sudo with my own passwd when needs be [08:41] dean[w]: if you arent sure then you havent set it which is good [08:41] im still pretty new to this [08:41] Just ask him. If it's your PC just bar him from using it until he stops screwing you around, dean[w] [08:41] Stormx2, that's what im trying to do.. [08:41] but he managed to breka in last time so he'll probably do it again ;) [08:42] dean[w]: i suggest you run this just to be sure: sudo usermod -p '!' root disables the account [08:42] i ran that ActionParsnip [08:42] dean[w]: cool [08:43] dean[w]: if you run: groups foo (replace foo with the username you gave him), is it in the admin group? [08:43] I have an Nvidia GeForce GT 220 and I am trying to get the sound over the HDMI to my TV ... i've done some basic things like ensure it's not muted but so far nothing [08:43] dean[w]: does he know your ubuntu password? [08:45] hello everybody [08:45] hello. [08:46] is here someone that has experience in GIT ? [08:46] GIT local server [08:46] ActionParsnip, sami : sami adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape dip video plugdev fuse git [08:46] that's the output [08:47] bah that's enough struggling for one night [08:47] dean[w]: looks fine, does he know your ubuntu password? [08:47] i don't think so... [08:47] dean[w]: cos that would do it ;) [08:47] well.. to ssh into my pc i have to ssh through a box he owns [08:48] is it possible that if i typed my pass wrong by one character he'd see that in the logs/ [08:48] dean[w]: possibly he's been packet sniffing [08:48] well it's over ssh, so it should be secure and encrypted === andrea is now known as Guest66115 [08:48] problem with XAMPP === Guest66115 is now known as angee [08:49] XAMP for Ubuntu, yes i guess it gave probs :P [08:49] dean[w]: i guess but if you connect to his system then he has the key for that session, it could be done in theory [08:49] you can better choose LAMP [08:49] I doubt he'd go to that much effort [08:49] dean[w]: thats what i thought [08:50] I suspect he's left a backdoor, but i can't see how he could have done anything interesting without the ability to run a command as admin [08:51] !git | Mark001 [08:51] Mark001: Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds.

I checked with sysv-rc-conf, it is not enabled. Why? [08:52] Mark001, ya.. but XAMPP is better for offline installationa [08:52] dean[w]: install and run rkhunter [08:53] dean[w]: it'll need running with sudo [08:53] running rkhunter/chkrootkit on a compromised system is pointless [08:53] ns5: Checked /etc/init/ssh.conf ? [08:54] llutz_: it may give clues though i guess [08:54] dean[w]: i'd just ask, go the low tech way [08:54] ActionParsnip: nope, you cannot trust anything running there, so it will give you false security [08:54] llutz_: gotcha [08:54] can anyone assist with setting up sound over HDMI with a nvidia GT 220? [08:55] jpds: oh I see [08:55] ActionParsnip: only way to check is to boot from a known clean media and run static soft from there [08:55] jpds: How to disable it? [08:55] llutz_: makes sense, bad stuff wont be running [08:55] ns5: Comment out the 'start on' section. [08:56] ActionParsnip: helix had a nice set of static linked binaries for that task [08:56] ActionParsnip, ive of coursed ask [08:56] jpds: so Ubuntu does not honor sysv runlevel system, I should not count on what I see in sysv-rc-conf, right? [08:56] but he's too mischevious :( [08:56] ns5: Ubuntu uses upstart, but I believe it still uses runlevels. [08:56] He doesn't do anything malicious. He just changes my wallpaper and such things :p But it's annoying! [08:57] jpds: Is there a tool for /etc/init like sysv-rc-conf for /etc/init.d? [08:58] jpds: how can I know what services is enabled and what is not? [08:58] can i link a directory to another directory? [08:58] how do i tell what version of alsa i have?

[09:03] !git [09:03] Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [09:03] not hugely useful [09:04] yeah i know what git is, experience mean if someone know how to set up a git server [09:04] Mark001: easily something you could google [09:04] mornin all, anyone know a good channel for hardware topics? [09:05] Idol_Mind: #hardware [09:05] yeah i found one, but got some errors that i cant solve [09:05] ejv, shoulda guessed... thanx [09:05] ##hardware [09:05] it redirects, either works [09:08] Hi! My Grub hangs up at boot menu (selection of the kernel) it doesnt respond to keyboard or anything other than power button. how do I fix this? [09:09] Ileden, does your numlock button work? if it doesn't light up, then it may be an issue in BIOS [09:10] Idol_Mind: the system does boot with live cd, and the issue appeared after doing a reinstall of ubuntu. [09:10] Ileden, oh, nvm then [09:11] yo_rmn: unity has a different layout. no gnome panels. [09:12] Admittedly, i did a stupid reinstall (installed fresh _over_ an existing install) but I didn't have separate partition for /home and wanted to preserve it. Feel free to not provide support, but please don't eat me alive :) [09:12] samba is so cool [09:12] Anyway, what I did reasearch about it, that should just simply wipe out the existing system folders. and it did. and the system did boot at first, one time. But now it doesnt. [09:14] ok fine [09:14] tsimpson: you did ask for it [09:14] Ileden: not sure if i can help, but do you see a grub menu when you boot? [09:15] i was wondering if grub-install from live cd would fix it, but alas, it just says "cannot find a device fro /boot/grub" whatever that means... [09:15] rigved: yes, but that's where it gets stuck [09:15] Ileden: does recovery mode work? [09:16] I've tried doing another fresh install over, but that doesn't get me anywhere. [09:16] rigved: I cannot do anything in the grub menu [09:16] Ileden: when you did the fresh install again, did you delete the earlier partitions? [09:17] wait... huh?? now i suddenly can [09:17] wtf... [09:17] Ileden: is that the recovery mode? [09:17] but i get thrown into busybox when trying to boot [09:17] "gave up waiting for root device" [09:18] "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[SNIP] does not exists. Dropping to a shell!" [09:18] ill try recovery... [09:19] Ileden: ok. or you need to install again. format all the partitions and then then install [09:19] Ileden: all the best! [09:19] rigved: problem is, i have /home with some data i'd not rather lose, and no big enough free backup media [09:20] Ileden: do you have a free partition? [09:20] rigved: and /home is not on a separate parition (stupid me) [09:20] rigved: no, the disk is pretty much full. [09:20] #realxtend-dev [09:21] Um... now I again get completely stuck in grub. Numlock key doesn't work. This is weird. [09:21] Ileden: if the data is important to you, then you need to free up some space somewhere and copy the home folder there. try borrowing an external hdd or usb stick from someone. [09:22] rigved: yeah, thats what im afraid of. and that'll take time. [09:23] Ileden: you should wait. better late than losing all your data, right? [09:24] okey, the hangup problem is apparently not with grub, but somewhere in bios. [09:25] i can't get to bios menu either, and keyboard doesn't respond. it's never done stuff like this before, grr. [09:26] is this just crazy timing for another issue to appear? I can't really see a way OS install would screw up bios... [09:26] working with a PS/2 keyb. [09:27] hey yall. [09:27] how to know with terminal version of graphics driver in use ? [09:28] how can add new address to $PATH ? [09:28] jeus: PATH=$PATH:/new/path/addon in ~/.bashrc [09:28] is there a way to repartition a drive that had data? [09:28] has data [09:28] llutz, this way add address for ever ? [09:28] providede there's free space, that is [09:29] am running mysql for a local wordpress install. would like to create a new db for xbmc library. i created the db, but then my local-pc can not connect to the remote-db ? [09:29] Ileden: never mess with partitions without an actual backup [09:29] llutz_: well i have most important data backed up in cloud anyway, and second most important in an external drive. [09:30] Anyone here have experience with ubuntu 10.10 on sony vaio laptops [09:30] so i'm willin to take some chances, but i'd still rather not lose it. [09:31] from remote-db i can connect to the new sql db $(mysql -u xbmc -p'xbmc' xbmcLIB). when i use netstat on remote nothing is open on port 3306. i fugure this is why i can not connect to the DB from other local. how can i fix this ? [09:32] hey [09:33] zosky: remote-db? but it's a local install? Well, I'm not at all familiar with xbmc, so probably not able to help [09:33] Just installed ubuntu 10.10. Now I've got an error: (thnx grub): Unknown Filesystem. And it gives me a rootshell. [09:34] /dev/sda1=mint (/) [09:34] /dev/sda3=/boot [09:34] /dev/sda2=SWAP [09:34] Ileden, im running xbmc on multiple machines. it makes a local sqlLite.db, but it also has the ability to hook into a back-end mysql. i am running mysql on my homeNAS for wordpress. [09:34] Ileden, ... trying to get xbmc to hook into it too. [09:35] zosky: ah, interesting! probably a bit too deep for me to help. :( [09:36] TopGear: did you upgrade from 10.04? [09:36] from command (on local) ... mysql -u xbmc -h 192.168.1.99 -p xbmcvid... can not connect to host.... i think the remote db is not "broadcasting" or allowing remote connections ? [09:36] no [09:36] fresh install [09:37] hi, anyone here managed to get WoW working on ubuntu 10 [09:37] does any one know how to all mysql remote connections (port3306) ? [09:39] rigved: no, it's a fresh install of 10.10 [09:41] TopGear: your installation seems not to have been completed. please re-install (and make sure to delete the current partitions and make new ones for the new install). [09:41] rigved: sad, but I'll try it... [09:41] rigved: anyways, I need a /boot partition of max. 1 gb [09:41] I'm running a Web Server through a VPS. I wanted to know what the best way to secure it is. [09:42] TopGear: /boot of 100 MB is more than enough [09:42] rotate passwords, run the firewall, apply updates, maintain strict access rules [09:42] Ok, with the other keyborad I now can use the GRUB menu, and selecting one earlier kernel got me to the system! any ideas how to proceed? how do I delete the latest kernel, and reistall it, for example? === dean is now known as Guest36987 [09:43] rived: yeah, I know. but more than 1gb and it won't boot at all... [09:43] im sorry to ask this here, but how to register username on freenode serv ? [09:43] Koulchlebaiz: google it :-) [09:43] TopGear: ok. keep it as 100 MB. it won't even use more than 25 MB [09:44] rived: lol :p [09:45] yeah i already went to freenode website, but cant found where to register. how did you ? [09:46] !register > Koulchilebaiz [09:46] Koulchilebaiz, please see my private message [09:46] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering [09:46] !register > TopGear [09:46] TopGear, please see my private message [09:46] lol :p [09:47] super funny [09:50] My lastest kernel doesn't boot, I can boot to the system with an earlier kernel. How do I fix this? [09:50] Ileden: what kind of error-message do you get with new kernel? [09:50] gobbe: it throws me to busybox, with error that /dev/disk/by-uuid/[SNIP] cannot be found [09:51] hello [09:51] Ileden: check that uuid that you are mounting matches one that you have [09:51] Ileden: blkid in working environment [09:52] "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[SNIP] does not exists. Dropping to a shell!" [09:52] gobbe: you mean in busybox shell? [09:52] Ileden: no, boot with working kernel and check what is the id of disk [09:53] gobbe: okey [09:53] anyone able to assist with no audio over HDMI? nvidia GT220? [09:54] gobbe: then what,see if that matches with the error message uuid? [09:54] hey guys, i unstalled windows and lost my grub, I suppose there is a way to get it back without formatting anything, right? [09:54] dexi: yes [09:54] Ileden: upload your /etc/fstab also to pastebin and output of blkid [09:54] !grub > dexi [09:54] dexi, please see my private message [09:54] gobbe: blkid outpus nothing [09:55] arvind_khadri thanks for the links [09:55] gobbe: i've never used it before, do i need to give the disk id for it? [09:55] dexi, np :) [09:55] Ileden: sudo blkid [09:55] Ileden: it should output list === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [09:56] gobbe: right :) [09:56] gobbe: fstab mount point "/" matches with /dev/sda1 uuid [09:57] gobbe: ill put the to pastebin, a sec [09:58] gobbe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544808/ [09:59] Ileden: ok, then check that /boot/grub/grub.cfg has proper uuid in your new kernel [09:59] gobbe: "in my new kernel"? what does that mean exactly? [10:00] Ileden: there should be like like this "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=160f00a1-a4ae-46bf-ac9e-76ba41cdc3cb ro quiet splash" [10:00] Ileden: for each kernel that you have installer [10:00] installed [10:00] Ileden: check that root's uuid matches [10:00] gobbe: ah [10:01] gobbe: they match [10:01] Ileden: can you upload that file also to pastebin? === manio_ is now known as manio [10:03] gobbe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544812/ [10:03] does ubuntu have an equivalent of debian tasksel's laptop task? [10:03] hi [10:04] how to setup 5.1 audio in ubuntu? [10:04] Hey guys, question about debconf specific to Vidalia, if anyone here has had any experience with that [10:04] gobbe: I'm using "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic" currently, it's "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-23-generic" that fails [10:04] how to setup 5.1 audio in ubuntu? [10:05] aish: have you googled the issue? there's at least this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound [10:06] How do i add/remove users in terminal? [10:06] Has anyone ehre had any experience with installing Tor, or specifically "Vidalia"? [10:07] Ileden: how did you install your kernel-update, with apt-get? [10:07] gobbe: ahem. it [10:08] I installed the packages, and debconf popped up halfway, and I accidentally input a wrong choice, now the program won't function. Any ideas on how to change? [10:08] gobbe: not very pretty. I did a fresh install of ubuntu on top of a previous install (i had my reasons). [10:08] How do i add/remove users in terminal? [10:08] hi all [10:08] hidnshadows, sudo dpkg-reconfigure program [10:08] hi newb [10:08] i need help to reinstall grun [10:08] grub [10:08] after win reset mbr [10:09] pfui thanks, trying now [10:09] hi hidnshadows [10:09] Please answer my question [10:09] How do i add/remove users in terminal? [10:09] gobbe: though my previous install _was_ 10.10 updated to latest updates, so i imagine it was the same kernel. [10:09] Ormie: "man adduser" [10:10] Ileden: aah. so you didn't clear disks before install? [10:10] pfui thanks a bunch! [10:10] np [10:10] llutz_: That will tell me how to add/remove user in terminal [10:10] gobbe: no. because I had /home with some large semi-important files in there i'd rather not lose, and no place to back them up, and /home was on same partition (won't make that mistake twice...) [10:11] Ileden next time you need to do an install, I recommend using a boot disc called DBAN, you boot it then hit M and select quick wipe, it works well [10:11] Ileden: ok. you should have ability to take backups if your files are important ;) [10:11] Ileden: but hold on, try to figure out what's wrong there [10:12] gobbe: they're just semi important. (old backups in fact, which i'd like to keep just to be on the safe side) [10:12] I've seen this guide http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/AmministrazioneSistema/Grub/Ripristino and everything goes ok but after reboot there are mounting problem and the system halt [10:12] hi. are there any known problems with printing PDFs and getting blank sheets out? - fully updated maverick. NRG Dsc 428, all worked nicely 2-3 days ago. [10:12] gobbe: thank you. I realize over-install is not a good idea but it seems this system is pretty close to being functional again. [10:13] Ileden: what "ls /boot/*2.6.35-22-generi* [10:13] Ileden: says [10:13] greetings peeps ! [10:13] greetings [10:13] Hi! Is here anyone who could help me with my printer? [10:14] Geeze, whats your problem? [10:14] Geeze: maybe, plase state the problem. [10:14] Printer (HP laserjet 1018) doesn't work for me. [10:14] Hasn't worked for weeks [10:14] gobbe: lists 6 files [10:15] Ileden: ok, so you atleast have them :) [10:15] Geeze, did work previously? [10:15] How can I close existing communications on a specific port? [10:15] In the beginning, yes. [10:15] gobbe: btw, the system did boot up the first time with latest kernel. [10:16] hidnshadows: read about "cutter" [10:16] Ileden: ok. so have you tried again? or just once? [10:16] llutz_ to gewgle! [10:16] none can help me^ [10:16] Geeze, can you enter localhost:631 ? [10:16] ? [10:16] gobbe: no, multiple times. in fact I just tried again a sec ago [10:16] !info cutter | hidnshadows [10:16] hidnshadows: cutter (source: cutter): disconnect routed IP connections. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.03-2 (maverick), package size 10 kB, installed size 64 kB [10:17] llutz_ know of anything a bit lower-powered? I just need to clear a port for a proxy. Know of any for console? [10:18] Godfather: Yes, so? [10:18] Ileden: you could try to replace uuid's in cfg-file with /dev/sdXY instead and try out again [10:18] hidnshadows: sudo lsof -i :"port" and close any app listening there [10:18] gobbe: hm, might removing and reinstalling the latest kernel via packet manager work? is the kernel even in packet manager? [10:19] Ileden: yes it should be :) [10:20] gobbe: (acutally, i would have thought the over-install would have wiped the old kernels along with other system files...)

[10:21] TopGear: you are welcome. :) [10:21] gobbe: nevermind found them [10:21] i have a shell account but i cant install anything on the server....is there any method to use a software of my choice on it? [10:21] rigved: BUT, the grub's still broken :( [10:22] It loads the newest kernel, but that's it [10:22] no grub to see [10:22] TopGear: so what's working then? [10:22] TopGear: ok. [10:22] pk__: depense of server, do you have root access? [10:22] no [10:22] pk__: software like for web or for adding packages to your system? [10:22] pk__: compile your own stuff and run from $HOME if your provider allows [10:22] rigved: it loads the newest installed kerneld. But the grub itself doesn't show up. [10:22] gobbe: uh, it lists 2.6.35-23 as not installed?! and 2.6.35-22 (one i'm using now) as installed. [10:22] After the updates, I'll post the errors [10:23] something with no suitable videomode and out of disk [10:23] llutz_: i need to compile and run a software [10:23] TopGear: press shift just before boot start. grub menu will show up [10:23] pk__: java (if you can chmod) perl and others [10:23] gobbe: um, I guess I should just try installing it then... [10:23] pk__: ask your admin to install stuff for you [10:24] he wont install [10:24] pk__: what is the application you want to install? [10:24] thats why i am asking [10:24] rigved: hope so... [10:24] pk__: he'll have his reasons. look for a different provider then [10:24] hi, how to add a repo using apt-add-repository [10:25] sacarlson: ctorrent [10:25] pk__: what software do you want to run? [10:25] which is a command line torrent client [10:25] TopGear: also, once you have booted into the new kernel, then you can remove the older kernel using software center (if you want) [10:25] pk__: ask for service and get ready for negative response. [10:26] rigved: I know, but booting into failsafe won't be possible [10:26] can't i compile and run this app without installing it? [10:26] pk__: that looks kind of old, but you might be able to compile it in you local bin space and run it. the other problem is if the server will let you out on the ports that it uses [10:27] pk__: you can, but that might be against the terms of use and you risk being kicked from that account [10:27] pk__: I tried doing something on the linux godaddy.com server and found that they filtered all but port 80 [10:27] TopGear: no, even after deleting the old kernel, you'll still have the recovery option of the new kernel. you can boot into failsafe mode from there. [10:28] i dont want to be kicked :( [10:30] is this the right place to ask for help with ubuntu? [10:30] yes :) [10:30] pk__: if the system has ruby or python or something you could do some simple test to see if ports are even open [10:30] hi there [10:30] Ileden: try to install newer kernel again [10:30] gobbe: well well, it worked! i wonder what on earth was wrong with it... phew, i'm so doing a fresh install when i have a new drive! :) [10:30] i log into my ubuntu machine i forgot the password [10:31] i log into my ubuntu machine as root i forgot the password [10:31] pk__: what shell-provider?

[10:31] sacarlson: even if the ports are open there are chances that they have logged all server sockets...no? [10:31] nope :( [10:31] siro: restore windows bootmanager and just delete the ubuntu-partition then [10:32] llutz_: that is not actually a provider ..it is our organisation's [10:32] pk__: yes I would think so since most have bandwidth limits on customers. [10:32] pk__: I would reset your account in seconds, if you failed to spot what is not allowed and you done it. [10:32] no [10:32] what i said [10:32] llutz_ i dunno how to do this either [10:33] i log into my ubuntu machine with ssh then after a few minute i forgot the password [10:33] how to change root password ? [10:33] simply my questioonn is [10:33] !sudo [10:33] is it possible to change [10:33] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [10:33] shcherbak: so your advice is i should not even check for open ports? [10:33] azrty: take a look at the "RootSudo" link above [10:34] pk__: the only correct advice is to check the rules you have to follow [10:34] azrty: so you can log into the system with your own account? [10:34] Hi. I am trying to enable personal file sharing on a lap top, but the option to install required software is greyed out. please help [10:34] hi [10:34] there is no such strict rule guide [10:35] pk__: mail admin first. [10:35] this is kind of an unofficial account [10:35] what is the difference between ubuntu server lts and ubuntu server? which is better on production servers [10:35] why is it that i can start apache from "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" but not with "apache2 -k start" ? [10:35] pk__: if I was the admin I would just make it not posible to setup a torrent on the sever by filter all but 80 and 443 [10:35] pk__: if your admin won't allow the usage of torrents or similar, they seem have rules [10:36] there are no rules as i fall into the list of admins [10:36] if i ask they will allow me but i dont want to ask [10:37] anyways i drop the idea of using torrent onthe server :) [10:37] help. cant login to guest account. [10:37] pk__: try it if it works and they get mad tell them you didn't know [10:37] pk__: then go and compile your stuff, link it statically to avoid dependency-trouble, and run it. Don't cry if they reset your accound [10:37] rived: nope, no grub [10:37] rived: only: out of disk and no suitable mode found [10:37] errorś [10:38] pk__: have a backup sever running on your home system in the event they close you down [10:38] pk__: who put you on the list of admin, if i may ask? === tomdv_ is now known as TomDV [10:39] llutz_: i am a developer and the server i am telling is meant to compile the application on that [10:39] #meego at irc.freenode.net [10:39] pardon i cant disclose the project :) [10:40] pk__: torrent on shell do not make much sense either, just get tracker update and .torrent itself via shell (links2) [10:40] help. cant login to guest account.

[11:38] I´m using irssi [11:38] Evilenko: depends on your client. To private message someone, you can usually do /msg or /query but if it's for a support issue, it's better to ask in the channel and keep the discussion here [11:38] Munger: You should test it first by going into grub, selecting ubuntu and pressing e for edit, then append it to your kernel line. This way if the results are bad, it will only have affect for that one boot [11:38] Evilenko: /names will display who is in the channel [11:38] does anyone know why grub scrolls everything it's doing [11:38] hello I have a problem with ubuntu: Firefox and Opera are extremely slow in loading webpages... only chrome is fine [11:39] okey i got all the names [11:39] I have disabled ipv6 (and even with enabled ipv6 its not working quite nice) [11:39] but how do I chose one [11:39] has anyone ever played with Xdmx [11:39] Evilenko: start writing it and press tab [11:39] i downloaded xubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 then i use unetbootin and after booting through pen drive it says [11:39] no init found.try passing init= bootarg [11:39] busbox v1.15.3(ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built in shell (ash) [11:39] enter help for a list of boot in commands [11:39] (initrants) _ [11:39] Arpit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:24] brb doing a restart [12:24] cnu_: What do you mean connected hd2 and 3 but didn't know how to access the data in them? [12:25] 2nd and 3 rd hard disks [12:25] :D [12:25] cnu_ ar hd2 and 3 formatted? [12:25] i have total 3 hardisks.... [12:25] no they have full data in them. [12:25] cnu_: You mean you physically reconnected them? [12:25] ya. [12:25] cnu_: So you just need to mount them now [12:25] i used to use them with my old xp. [12:25] ok.......How .? [12:25] cnu_ do you see the drives listed in file system? [12:26] wher to find the file system. [12:26] cnu_: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /some/empty/directory [12:26] cnu_: you might need to use ntfs-3g to mount [12:26] cnu_ for future ref add this to your task panel system monitor [12:27] @soreau you want me to type that in terminal......isn't it. [12:27] cnu_: /dev/sdb is the second hard drive, /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on the second hard drive. /dev/sdc2 would be the second partition on the third hard drive [12:27] ! mount | cnu_ [12:27] cnu_: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [12:28] yes.....i found dev [12:28] in file system... [12:28] Is there an NFS browser for Ubuntu? [12:28] cnu_: Pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [12:29] cnu_: To pastebin.com [12:29] hi guys. are there any tools for windows like gparted for linux? I have a dual boot, and would like to re-format the linux partition and give it back to windows =) just because I'm giving the laptop to my lil bro, not cause I'm back to windows =)) [12:29] Munger: nautilus? [12:29] progre55, ##windows [12:29] sorry man.....not able to get you. [12:30] soreau, Yes [12:30] progre55: live cd [12:30] progre55: Ask in #windows [12:30] progre55, though gparted works fine for that [12:30] progre55, you can format it in gparted itself right? else head to ##windows. [12:30] cnu_: Ok, lets start with pastebinning. [12:30] ! pastebin | cnu_ [12:30] cnu_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:30] thanks guys. But how do I run gparted? within linux? [12:30] progre55, live cd as shcherbak said [12:30] progre55, gparted live cd 60mb [12:30] progre55: on Live Cd [12:31] hi [12:31] ok.......got it. [12:31] oh, thanks thanks thanks ) [12:31] progre55, if you have a live cd of ubuntu, it has gparted in it too. [12:31] dnivra, yeah I do, thanks =) [12:31] why he is called progre55 ??? [12:31] shcherbak: cause its read as "progress" =) [12:32] part magic live cd.. :) sorry [12:32] shcherbak, i thought that was kind of obvious? [12:32] progre55: well, you do regress and moreover you trying the same with yous litte brother, pure cruelity! [12:33] k9copy is able to copy an audio cd? [12:33] i for the life of me cannot figure out why system monitor is always showing me 100% cpu useage and i look at processes and nothing adds up past 20% total [12:33] evora-UHU:brasero can do that... [12:33] ok here is the paste bin link.....http://pastebin.com/DTbFBLnT [12:33] What is the name of a command-line tool that prints graphically the sequence of start times of all programs at boot time? [12:34] shcherbak: wow you're so smart I can see [12:34] leftist: use htop [12:34] brasero reports an error === emil is now known as Guest85815 [12:34] it says I need to install cdrdao [12:34] progre55: picky, but smart, I know that [12:34] bullgard4: wasn't it bootchart? [12:34] @soreau_ http://pastebin.com/DTbFBLnT [12:34] i did it but the problem persists [12:34] I'm not leaving linux.. and as for my lil bro, he's never used linux, and plus, he doenst even have inet connection, so I think he should stick to windows for now.. [12:35] cnu_: That only shows your first hard drive, so you will likely need to make sure your drives are recognized in your system bios [12:35] wierd shcherbak iptraf is ghosting cause i cancelled it. [12:35] I can not find file Mysqld. sock to have someone who knows how to make this file [12:35] progre55, well i think it's time he did; you'll find it difficult to change him later on. [12:35] ok....you mean you want to manually check the wires are connected or not. [12:35] I will do that. [12:36] evora-UHU: using ubuntu?...what error? [12:36] dnivra: he's in a different country, and I doesnt have normal internet connection.. and I dont want to be his tech-support over the phone =) [12:36] making long distance calls ) [12:36] I use xubuntu [12:36] he doesnt* === sam---___---- is now known as sam-_- [12:36] progre55, oh! okay i see. fair enough :). [12:36] i see iptraf still running but i cannot kill it. it doesnt show up in processes but does in htop however it can't be killed. [12:36] I will be restarting and i will be back in a min. [12:36] thanks for your help. [12:37] cnu_: You said you already connected both of them so I assume you have the power and data cables connected already. Just check your BIOS settings and see that the drives are indeed recognized by your computer in the first place [12:37] leftist: you mean cloesed terminal? all monitoring tools need time to "jam in" and "jam out" (in minutes usually) [12:37] this is the error "Please install the following manually and try again: [12:37] cdrdao (application)." [12:37] how to check the bios without restarting. I think we have to restart in order to check the bios. [12:38] shcerbak it flaked out when i ran it and i closed the terminal so it is still running apparantly. [12:38] dnivera: thanks for understanding =)) cause I dont want to look like I'm betraying linux.. I'd never do that! :D [12:38] google earth looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/gQGfV.png how do i fix this? [12:38] leftist: iptraf is root program kill it with sudo [12:38] evora-UHU: Try sudo apt-get install cdrdao [12:39] shcherbak i forgot that thanks [12:39] evora-UHU: open synaptic....right click brasero...check recommended packages... [12:39] can anyone help me with installing ubuntu on windows 7? [12:39] hi [12:39] cnu_: You have to reboot the machine to get into the bios settings [12:39] seems like i'm using ubuntu 11.04...how can i upgrade/downgrade to the stable version? [12:39] (ubuntu 10.10) hi. If I edit from scratch "myfile.txt" and after have saved it my pc crashes because of power-supply loss, after the OS starts again "myfile.txt" becames empty. is there a reason for that? How can I fix that? [12:39] its a netbook and i dont have a cd rom [12:39] ok.....then I will do it. Pls be there for me.......thanks. [12:40] thanks again [12:40] i isntall cdrdao already [12:40] symtab, you'll have to reinstall. 11.04 is the latest development. i doubt you can revert to any older version. [12:40] can anyone help me with installing ubuntu on windows 7? [12:40] ahh [12:40] hello i have a ubuntu server with a gui without vnc, is there anyway to install one ? [12:40] dnivra, i updated before 10.10 was released and seems like i didnt upgrade to 10.10 but to the development version [12:40] anyone owning a hp laptop over here with a buttonless touchpad? [12:40] symtab: why do you think that? [12:40] !vnc | wazzup [12:40] wazzup: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:41] araib: you can use a usb stick [12:41] well its pretty stable so i'll continue using it [12:41] araib: Not really. Are you trying to install it into a virtual machine or to the hard drive? [12:41] symtab, did you download the 11.04 ISO? [12:41] dnivra, no [12:41] ok ty jrib [12:41] i run dist-upgrade like 2 months ok [12:41] !FreeNX [12:41] guampa: Yes indeed. -- Thank you very much for your help.

For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [12:41] on the hard drive [12:41] soreau: on the hard drive [12:41] symtab, strange! you upgraded through synaptic? [12:41] evora-UHU: also check if brasero-cdrkit is installed? [12:41] from the console [12:42] how do I check that?

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:42] Is there no way of installing it on windows 7 ? [12:42] araib: Then you will likely want to download a ubuntu iso and burn the image to disk (or to usb) then boot your computer from it to install it [12:42] oh ok === niels_ is now known as nielson [12:43] araib: Your other option is to install a virtual machine in windoze then install ubuntu into it the same way === nielson is now known as n1elson [12:43] well works...thats what matters...i'll compile some packages (there are no mediainfo packages for my ubuntu version) [12:43] :-) [12:43] i really dont know how to do that to be honest [12:43] annotate_update_6100 in my module.install, it means it implements hook_update? what are this numbers 6100?

[12:43] soreau: what about Wubi? isn't it anymore included in 10.10? [12:43] soreau: re: araib question [12:44] ok [12:44] symtab: The about menu is incorrect it shows natty incorrectly [12:44] \join #NetBeans [12:44] :x [12:44] WHY? [12:44] hmmmm...... [12:44] D: [12:44] ohh sorry [12:44] Ileden: It is but you would still need a ubuntu image and wubi resides on a non-native file system making it slower [12:44] !wubi [12:44] wrong chan [12:44] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [12:44] anyone know the syntax to join the netbeans channel? [12:44] tyrone: /join #netbeans [12:44] ? [12:44] itaylor57, ok [12:44] soreau: slower, sure, but is the slowdown really that significant? I tried it once, and seemed to work pretty ok. [12:45] dwarder: Thanks [12:45] I am looking for a chat program that can dock to the side of the window. anyone have any recommendations? [12:45] then i'm using 10.10 [12:45] shoudl be able to find packages [12:45] thank [12:45] how do I install the cdr kit to brasero? [12:45] Ileden: If you are going to reboot the machine to boot linux anyway, might as well use the proper native file system. Else just use a vm [12:45] evora-UHU: its in the repo...brasero-cdrkit..install it.. [12:46] kiyiko: you mean screen edge? [12:46] kiyiko: tried pidgin? [12:46] Ok, what is causing all these "unresponsive scripts" in Firefox, and how do I stop them. I spend more time dealing with them then surfing the web. [12:46] I have not really tried pidgin :x [12:46] I will though [12:46] soreau: true. though wubi gives a nice way to trying it, and might be more approachable as it doesn't do any changes (other than bootloader) [12:46] google earth looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/gQGfV.png how do i fix this? [12:46] I was just using the default empathy, but uh... mm [12:47] Ileden: I guess. I found wubi to be more trouble than its worth. All or nothing I say [12:47] soreau: also, it might be easier to understand as it's listed in the windows applications. Then again, might just create more confusion. [12:47] kiyiko empathy is better imho than pidgin but pidgin's irc works really nice [12:47] Hello! [12:47] I use xchat for irc, I guess... I am just looking for a better IM client. [12:48] soreau: but yes, i imagine migrating to an direct linux installation from wubi might be trouble, and that's what you'll want eventually anyway :) [12:48] Empathy is kinda annoying me >< [12:48] Is it somehow possible to avoid restarting after installing a video driver? [12:48] anythign gotta be betta than gnome irc :) [12:48] kiyiko then try pidgin mate [12:48] kay [12:48] cool-RR tried to log out and log back in? [12:48] Ileden: Right. I always suggest a clean install from the jump and get all those good ext(4) file system features [12:49] it restarts the X [12:49] cool-RR: probably, but I expect it's more trouble than it's worth. [12:49] I'll try now Korben [12:49] Since it's a Live CD I can't reboot [12:49] soreau: ture that. [12:49] hi [12:49] can someone help me? [12:50] Is it normal that when I "log out" on a live CD, it never goes back? [12:50] !ask | alex_under [12:50] alex_under: 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. :-) [12:50] cool-RR: ah, that's a very good point, not being able to try the display driver on a live cd, since changes don't survive the reboot... hmm. [12:50] I've tried asking a question in here for two days now, doesn't seem anyone wants to help :D [12:50] cool-RR: Typically, graphics drivers are a major system change and kernel modules need to be reloaded which can leave you with a black screen or gpu hang. Better to just count on rebooting [12:50] soreau i have a question, i use ext4 for my root partition and my home partition.. but i have a drive with mp3 from my windows days.. on NTFS.. do u think it is messing it more as an NTFS? [12:51] korben: messing it? [12:51] Two9A: don't confuse "want" with "is able to" [12:51] soreau: Then what can I do? [12:51] i mean on writting to it.. [12:51] Ileden: It's a problem with my TV card, I'd assume many people have had it before [12:51] Well, I installed ubuntu and flash player worked nicely. At one point flash player stopped working and I can't play videos on YouTube anymore. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it, but nothing. It just says that's installed but no videos, no nothing. [12:51] korben: NTFS support works really well these days, it seems. [12:51] i am not sure.. but i once saw on another NTFS drive that it frags the files and needs windows defrag sooner than normal [12:52] Okay my colleague has managed to place a backdoor on my computer to change my desktop background. I just found this in his bash history (he forgot to wipe it) http://pastebin.com/Lyu9VVdL So what is he doing. and how can i stop it [12:52] korben: was this years ago, or recent? [12:52] korben: AFAIK, the ntfs file system is mostly bad when operated by the NT kernel. With ntfs-3g, it just accesses data and doesnt do any fragmentation [12:52] korben: because there has indeed been, in history, a huge mess with NTFS support. [12:52] cool-RR: What driver did you install and why do you not want to reboot? [12:52] !Gnash | alex_under [12:52] alex_under: An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [12:52] I don'e want to reboot cause it's a Live CD [12:52] dnivra [12:52] It's a NVidia driver [12:52] I tried it [12:52] but it's awful [12:53] It works rubbish [12:53] alex_under, might work. flash works fine for me. tried swf player? [12:53] Ileden it is being read and write from 10.04 [12:53] cool-RR: Ahh.. [12:53] It wokred fine for me, too. [12:53] the drive was created on 2006 from an xp machine [12:53] alex_under: youtube can use html5 videos if you use the chrome/chromium browsers. [12:53] :) [12:53] yeah [12:53] anyone know how to configure mysql on ubuntu? know of any good tuts [12:53] ? [12:53] I forgot === jacob_ is now known as Guest20693 [12:53] Thanks. [12:54] cool-RR: Have you tried simply restarting X by logging out? [12:54] korben: when was the screwup you are remembering? because i can't vouch for NTFS support, but I've understood it's very good these days [12:54] tyrone, ask in #mysql. [12:54] tyrone: just install mysql-client and mysql-server, that's it [12:54] tried joining that but the channel seems to be empty [12:55] soreau: Logging out hangs the system [12:55] theres entire books written about mysql. :) [12:55] guampa: have done that but can't seem to set up a connection that works [12:55] soreau and Ileden i am asking this because the drive has an issue probably because of it's filesystem even on reading it.. simply freezes the ubuntu machine when i mount the drive and use it for like an hour or two [12:55] hi there. i was making a program in gambas and wanted to make a installation for ubuntu but after selcting ubuntu it says no package group selected pl help!!! [12:55] i am thinking on copying everything and making the fs to ext4 [12:55] cool-RR: Then you are pretty much screwed I guess. You could try getting to a tty and loading the nvidia module manually to see if that is the problem but Im not sure that would help [12:55] cool-RR: I still don't see why you don't want to reboot; so it's a livecd, and it'll take a few minutes to boot [12:55] i will be greatful to anyone who can help [12:56] tyrone, i just saw people speaking there just now. [12:56] Two9A: The nvidia driver will no longer be installed [12:56] Disaster. [12:56] dnivra: thanks, will try again maybe I did something wrong [12:56] soreau: thanks [12:56] goodbye everyone, thanks for your help [12:56] I'd link to the post about my disaster, but it's on the Gentoo forums, and I'd get banned [12:56] tyrone, as Dr_Willis said there're plenty of "how-to" for mysql. [12:57] does anyone hate the ideia of having Unity as default as much as i do? damn... bad move guys! [12:57] korben: at least this link confirms my thoughts: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/82472.aspx "Linux struggled with the NTFS file system for a while. [...] writing support was present, it was unstable and risked data corruption. [...] With the release of the NTFS-3G driver, Linux fully supports NTFS file systems." [12:57] tyrone: its also possible the default mysql confiugs only allow connections from the local box for security [12:57] dnvira: thanks and I have tried many of the online tuts and it doesn't seem to work which is why I came on here [12:57] undertuga: They are switching the unity implementation from gnome shell to compiz. Its under heavy development now [12:57] Ileden is this driver on 10.04 ? [12:58] undertuga, this is ubuntu support. better head to the offtopic channel with that. [12:58] !ot | undertuga [12:58] undertuga: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:58] undertuga: choose classic, get used to, accept, yes [12:58] Dr_Willis: thanks. [12:58] tyrone: pastebin your /etc/mysql/my.cnf [12:58] undertuga, you're free to install gnome later on too-advantages of open source I'd say :).

[12:59] Ileden just saw the article thnx [12:59] tyrone: an easy way is to install pastebinit. apt-get install pastebinit [13:00] korben: yes, it seems it's in most linux (if not practically all) these days, as it's in linux kernel... but i'm way off my comfort zone here, so take that with a grain of salt. [13:00] Guampa, thanks I am installing it now [13:01] korben: well, I have wikipedia to back me up, at least :) "It is included in most Linux distributions. " [13:01] hehehe [13:01] no programmer here [13:02] so the problem is in the way the disk was written.. [13:02] :( [13:02] Guampa, isntalled. could you give me an example of syntax to pastebinit from the command prompt?? [13:02] because i had another disk with the same data and the same problem.. and i replaced the disk.. [13:02] tyrone: command | pastebinit [13:02] ok any help on how to compile for mac on ubuntu === alyx is now known as Guest74028 [13:02] korben: seems the development and adoption has happened during 2006-2008. nice to know. :) [13:02] tried to copy the files from old to new disk but old disk was hanging all the time [13:02] and i ghost it disk to disk :P [13:02] probably the problem is in the way the FS is written [13:03] tyrone: sudo -s , enter your password, then "pastebinit < /etc/mysql/my.cnf" [13:03] raheel: -> mac osx basically shuts off it's system - its probably pretty hard tocompile something that'll work in macos x when using linux [13:05] guampa: thanks, I can't even seem to opent the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file... says Permission denied [13:05] tyrone: try 'sudo cat /etc/mysql/whatever' [13:05] tyrone: gksu gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf [13:06] soreau: thanks... sorry, noob here [13:06] @soreau hi.....I am back. I checked the cables. sorry they are not connected. Now i connected them and it is working perfectly. thanks for your time. [13:06] tyrone: brb [13:06] cnu__: Great :D [13:06] really sorry....I was a noob.....:-) [13:06] Now how to change the name of the hd. [13:07] cnu__: set a 'lable' on the filesystem using the tune2fs command for linux fs's [13:07] when i tried to do so. It was saying this. Sorry, could not rename "500 GB Hard Disk: drawing and painting" to " drawing and painting": Operation not supported by backend [13:07] Dr_Willis: Possible ntfs === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [13:07] cnu__: I wouldn't bother changing the name of the disk, personally [13:08] ok. [13:08] (Especially if the ntfs-3g driver can't do it) [13:08] cnu__: if its ntfs. set a volume label/name from within windows... [13:08] cnu__: You really dont need to change the name of the disk, just the mount point directory [13:08] cnu__: dont use spaces in the name either. :) saves hassles later on. [13:08] ya....thats it. ok got it. [13:08] if the name is blank - it will use 'disk' or the uuid# i recall [13:08] one thing...can i use the same had again with a xp pc. [13:09] i mean connect it directly to a pc having xp and transfer files. [13:10] cnu__: If the file system is ntfs or anything ext3 and older (unless someone wrote windoze drivers for ext4 already) [13:10] How do i install workspace switcher for docky? I guess docky is part of gnome-do? [13:10] tyrone: how's it going? [13:10] ok great. thank you..... [13:11] ePax: docky was a part of gnome-do but now it is a separate project [13:11] thanks for your time. I feel much better now. These doubts are killing me. [13:11] guampa: * #mysql :Cannot send to channel [13:11] sigh [13:11] sorry. [13:11] ePax: you might want to look for a docky ppa, that may have more up to date versions and more plugins [13:11] tyrone, check their channel topic. you have to register your nick to speak there. [13:12] Dr_Willis: thnx [13:12] tyrone, head to #freenode for help on how to register. [13:12] ePax: Also see #docky here on freenode [13:12] soreau: thnx [13:12] guampa: http://pastebin.com/B0MTBqSX [13:12] great [13:13] dnivra: thanks but I Ctl-V'd when I shouldn't have [13:13] @soreau after i got my hard disk i see the drivers appearing on my desktop. how to remove them. is it a short cut or what. [13:13] cnu__: I just use umount [13:13] cnu__: theres some gnome settings that can show or hide mounted volumes on the desktop. I know the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool has a check box to show/hide them [13:14] ok. [13:14] what exactly is unmount. [13:14] cnu__: But if you use nautilus file browser (Places>) then sometimes there is an eject button next to the volume [13:14] cnu__: Its umount and its a command to directly unmount .. syuff [13:15] ok....is there no harm for data to mount and unmount frequently... [13:15] cnu__: shouldent be [13:15] !mount | cnu__ [13:15] cnu__: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [13:15] cnu__: That might be a question better suited for ##linux [13:15] if you want to get technical [13:16] ok great. thank you. [13:17] In theory, there shouldnt be any problem with mounting/unmounting any number of times [13:17] The kernel is designed to expect failure and handle these cases [13:17] ok....thank you ....now i got it. [13:18] lsusb shows "Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub" - does this mean ubuntu uses USB 1.1 (not USB 2.0)? [13:18] tyrone: the config is good, lets see if mysqld is running [13:18] rizo: no [13:18] but i don't want to see the drivers on my desktop what to do about it. [13:18] cnu__: I like to disable all desktop icons personally [13:19] rizo: could be - i have some 1.1 and some 2.0 here. I got extra pci usb cards in this box ive had for ages. [13:19] run "pgrep -l mysql" and see if it outputs a line containing "mysqld" [13:19] yes me to. [13:19] cnu__: See settings in gconf-editor under /apps/nautilus [13:19] cnu__: ubuntu-tweak tool has a gui to those settings. [13:19] how to get that... [13:20] guampa, "service mysql status" will also do :) [13:20] i typed the code in terminal but got an error message. [13:20] cnu__: go to its homepage and download it [13:20] the keyword is "also" [13:20] guampa: thanks, how do I do that, I have tried starting it already but the directory in the Tut didn't seem to be the same as mine [13:20] cnu__: What did you type? [13:20] Dr_Willis, i have the same (all on motherborad)...but the data sheet says all ports are usb 2.0 [13:20] which home page...? [13:20] the code you gave. [13:21] above. [13:21] anybody have issues with sshfs on 10.04.1? i have two machines, configured similarly (i thought) with the latest updates. sshfs works from one machine, but not from the other. the failing machine just hangs, even when sshfs-ing to itself (not recursive) [13:21] cnu__: No, what exactly did you type. Pastebin it [13:21] the code you gave......... gconf-editor under /apps/nautilus [13:21] cnu__: The command is gconf-editor [13:21] osprober does not work how to configure? [13:21] cnu__: Either type gconf-editor in your terminal, or go to Sys>Prefs>Maina Menu and enable Configuration Editor in Applications>System Tools [13:21] rizo: it could be that some of the usb devices are also a root-hub (built into the device) thats 1.1 - like a keyboard. [13:22] ok ok. on my way.... [13:22] rizo: i see to have a lot more root hubs then i have devices. [13:22] tyrone: don't worry about directories, in ubuntu you start it with "sudo service mysql start" [13:22] !osprober [13:22] guampa: sorry didn't see the command you wrote subsequent [13:22] I have reason to believe my colleague has set up a hidden shell on my PC. Any ideas on where to begin looking for it? [13:22] 1236 mysqld [13:22] fathomless, i think he was talking about grub osprober. [13:22] dean[w]: try the simple 'who' command first? check /home/ dir? if you want to be 'sure' time to reinstall. [13:22] cnu__: If you enable it in main menu, it will just put a short cut in (yes you guessed it) Applications>System Tools> [13:23] dean[w]: the only really secure way -> reinstall [13:23] dnivra: yes grub osprober [13:23] guampa: i put status instead at the end and it seems to be running as process 1236 [13:23] yep....got it. [13:23] then what to do.... [13:23] fathomless, oh it was you :). he he. sorry. [13:23] tyrone: yes if you check both commands returned the same process ID [13:23] cnu__: Once you have gconf-editor open, navigate to /apps/nautilus [13:24] then.... [13:24] fathomless, well i have no clue about it. you might wanna check the grub2 docs. i really have not much of an idea. [13:24] dnivra: np solution? [13:24] Guampa: I see that. what now though? [13:24] tyrone: finally check if the port and socket are open, then we'll try to connect [13:24] fathomless, maybe if you could a say a bit more on what is wrong, someone might be able to help out. [13:24] guampa: ok [13:25] cnu__: In desktop, uncheck volumes_visable [13:25] yahoooooo..........got it. thank you. [13:26] dean[w]: sudo rm /bin/.ohai and reboot [13:26] guampa: I have mysql administrator. or are you going to give me the hardcore way to connect? [13:26] I am not able to see grub menu on startup -everytime should hold shift tosee. also, I dontsee my win dualboot os in the list osprober not configured? help [13:27] is there a way to copy gnome keyboard shotcut application links from another user account? [13:27] tyrone: first check for the port and socket file, for the port: "netstat -ltnp | grep 3306", for the socket "ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" [13:28] Ileden: My guess is yes, it probably stores that info as gconf keys, somewhere in $HOME/.gconf [13:28] this is the second day in my ubuntu and you have clarified my major doubts. I am really thank ful for that. are you done with me or can you guide me on some more issues. [13:28] hey gang [13:28] fathomless, one post suggested adding entries manually to 40_custom. [13:28] LjL-Temp: <3 [13:28] fathomless, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454743 [13:29] cnu__: Glad to help. If you keep asking I will keep trying to help with issues I know about [13:29] guampa: it seemed give back some information but I am not sure what you would like me to give to you [13:29] soreau: thanks, ill try to find [13:29] cnu__: But anyone else can help you here too [13:29] Guampa: non of it looked like an error [13:29] if you just ask the channel [13:29] oh.....you are such a helpful person. i will ask some more questios which are bugging me. [13:30] ok...now i understand the whole concept of irc. [13:30] fathomless: you can edit the grub configs to alwaya show the menu. Not sure about it not seeing the windows os. You could add your own entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom [13:30] I'm sorry, did someone answer my question. I messed up my irc :) [13:30] dean[w]: sudo rm /bin/.ohai and reboot [13:30] fathomless: you have tried just 'sudo update-grub' then check the /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if it shows the windows entries? [13:30] tyrone: should be one liners, one with a 3306 .... mysqld , the other ...... /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [13:31] soreau: thanks for pointin the right place "find . |grep xml |xargs grep -i gedit" did the trick, it's apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/%gconf.xml [13:31] Ileden: cool ;) [13:31] guampa. one says tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1236/mysqld [13:31] okay itaylor57 [13:31] dean[w]: is your home /home/sami? [13:31] nope. mine is /home/dean [13:32] i think he must have had a backdoor to even get in to do this as i'd disabled his account and *thought* i removed his admin perms [13:32] dean[w]: looks likehe put a bin file in your bin [13:33] is there a way to get Network manager to behave? instead of breaking ifconfig / iwconfig? [13:33] guampa: the other line says srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 2010-12-13 07:10 /var/run/,ysqld/mysqld.sock [13:33] itaylor57, apparently full nelson was a kernel exploit he used to elevate his priviliges but im not sure how he even logged in in the first place if i'd disabled his account [13:33] phix: Nope. chmod -x $(which NetworkManager) and nm-applet ;) [13:33] soreau: hehe [13:34] when i plug in my logitech usb 2.0 webcam i get a dmesg "usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3". But full speed means 12MBit/s (USB 1.1). Any idea what could be wrong (on ubuntu 10.04)? [13:34] tyrone: well then, run "mysql -h localhost -u root" [13:35] guampa: says ERROR 1045 access denied fro user 'root;@'localhost' (using password: NO) [13:35] _is there a way to add computer shortcut to the pannel like the software lauch shortcuts. [13:35] tyrone: sorry use the same line and append "-p" at the end [13:35] rizo: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=usb+1.1+2.0+ubuntu [13:36] dean[w]: yea a reinstall may be needed to insure your safe [13:36] cnu__: What do you mean by computer shortcut? [13:36] itaylor57, well that would be quite an inconvenience. and this is only a playful colleague that im trying to stop :) [13:36] guampa, I don't recall setting a password is it the same as root password? [13:37] dean[w]: does the /bin/.ohai exist? [13:37] soreau, :) [13:37] tyrone: mysql has its own passwords, it depends on what you put when installing [13:37] in order to access my drives i have to go to places> computer. [13:37] well i sudo rm'd it like you said [13:37] so not at the moment itaylor57 [13:37] instead of that what about adding it to the panel [13:37] dean[w]: good [13:38] guampa: I isntalled from Ubuntu software and don't recall ever setting a password. [13:38] rizo: Sorry, couldnt resist. I dont know why some show as 1.1 here too but they seem to always work fine [13:38] But he must have a hidden shell or access to the root account or something, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to log in as that user [13:38] and interestingly in auth.log i saw the root user changing the passwords of my two colleagues at around 10am this morning so i think that's how he logged in [13:38] tyrone: try with the system root password, if not you'll have to reset the mysql root password [13:39] guampa: sorry, it would appear that I tried a password that I am in [13:40] tyrone: so you could connect? [13:40] hello! i'm learning about linux i'm using ubuntu, but i want learn how to contribute with linux developers, linux are developed in C? just C or others? [13:40] guampa, it says welcome to mysql monitor === adante_ is now known as adante [13:40] soreau, i already the google... i have ehci 2.0 installed, but ubuntu still uses uhci... dont know why... [13:40] tyrone: there you are connected then [13:40] elhiz: can be dozens of differnt languages used. it depends on what you are doing/programing. [13:40] soreau, i already googled that problem ... i have ehci 2.0 installed, but ubuntu still uses uhci... dont know why... [13:40] elhiz: base system ( kernel + shell commands + system services ) is C mostly. [13:40] I right clicked the panel and selected add to panel and browsed the list and added the softwares i need to have short cuts. So is there a way to add computer like that. [13:41] elhiz: The kernel is written in C, yes. The utilities around the kernel are written in all kinds of languages; C, C++, perl and python being the most common. [13:41] elhiz: C and C++ are what the lower level stuff uses normally. Python is getting used all over the place and is proberly easier to learn. [13:41] elhiz: as you climb the ladder up to graphics etc. you find c++ and some scripting languages like python [13:41] guampa: thanks. so now how do I do the same thing with Netbeans so it connects? I am still not sure what the settings are [13:41] elhiz, you're running ubuntu right? software center's written in PY but it uses apt below which in C++. so there's no "one language" i'd say. [13:41] elhiz: you cant go wrong learning Python. :) its so handy [13:41] tyrone: if you want friendlier, GUI tools install mysql-admin and mysql-query-browser [13:42] guampa, I have done that. I will try fool around again now that I am sure that Mysql is running and accessible [13:42] Dr_Willis: before there was python there was perl :>) [13:42] guampa: thanks so much for your assitance. much appreciated [13:42] itaylor57: and i used REXX ages ago befor i learned perl. [13:42] <_centurion_> para cuando matrix? [13:42] tyrone: haven't used netbeans ever, may god spare me to, but use the same settings [13:42] elhiz, yeah python is a versatile language-from cgi scripts to web development to applications to IRC bots and much more. [13:42] itaylor57: and TCL :) [13:42] JAPH [13:43] is there a way to add the computer lauch icon to the pannel [13:43] guampa: what do you use? [13:43] hi guys. i am looking for a method to let a few servers on the internet serve there harddisk space and offer them as one folder or something on the cloud. is there a way to do it? [13:43] hello people :D [13:43] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: thanks for all information, but i'm guessing that.. if the linux are developed with so much languages it's don't be a mess? [13:44] tyrone: for development? text editors [13:44] pretty boy === a_ is now known as jebko [13:44] gaumpa: you are too hardcore for me. I am a noob and like the GUI builder from netbeans [13:44] :P [13:44] lol [13:44] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: stay with so many languages do not develop more work? although there are many contributors [13:44] elhiz: It's not. It's just as with windows. Some programs are written in C, C++, Visual Basic etc [13:44] elhiz, linux is the kernel; it uses C and a bit of assembly level language i guess. C++/Python etc are used to make applications above the kernel. [13:44] elhiz: well not so different from Microsoft ecosystem. isn't it. C, c++, c#, VisualBasic, etc [13:45] tyrone: Gvim is good and also eclipse [13:45] itaylor57: you think they are better than netbeans? [13:46] tyrone: netbeans is good but eclipse has an addon for that i belive [13:46] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: understand, but we can say that Linux/kernel have your CORE developed with C, C++ the simple part of system, right? [13:46] What's the command to open a finder (I don't know how to call it, I mean the one like Mac's finder.)? [13:47] elhiz: C is the core linux ( unix ) language if you want the quick oversimplified answer. [13:47] elhiz: The most basic utilities and libraries are written mostly in C, yes. [13:47] itaylor57: thanks. will check it out some time. for now though I think I will go and noob it up with netbeans. Thanks guys for the help. much appreciated [13:47] can some one guide me to make my wacom work with ubuntu. [13:47] elhiz: after all C was designed to program unix and unix was written to showcase C ;P [13:47] cnu__: Well the application name of the file browser is nautilus [13:48] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: so thank for all \o/ I know about C, how can i begin to contrib? [13:48] * erUSUL or was the other way around? chicken - egg [13:48] cnu__: But it will likely default to your home folder [13:48] ok ok....I thought you have left. on my way... [13:48] ya thats what i want. [13:48] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: where can i go to get more information and begin to contrib? [13:48] elhiz, pick a project and go to their website. they'll surely have documentation on how to start contributing. [13:48] !contribute | elhiz [13:48] elhiz: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [13:48] where to access that. "nautilus" [13:49] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: thanks! i love all ;P [13:49] for an apt-get ... is there a clean way to end the process? (besides ctrl-C?) [13:49] cnu__: Add to panel>application launcher [13:49] (ctrl-c didn't seem to end the process, either) [13:49] elhiz: Squashing some bugs would probably be a good start. :) [13:50] cnu__: The Command will be nautilus [13:50] geirha: haha! of course :) [13:50] cnu__: Also you get one too http://tinyurl.com/38balx6 [13:50] Hey guys. I'm looking to do a trick. Is there a way from the command-line to bring up the file browser, but the browser is pointed at the command-line>? [13:51] i am not getting .....nautilus [13:51] mew_mew: What do you mean pointed at the command line? [13:51] well, the directory you were at in the command-line [13:51] do we have any audio cutting toolin ubuntu [13:51] do we have any audio cutting tool in ubuntu [13:51] sorry, it's 9 AM and my brain isn't quite awaken yet [13:51] cnu__: Right click on panel select custom application launcher then for Command put nautilus and fill out the rest of the fields with whatever you want [13:51] phanindra, pitivi does. [13:51] erUSUL, geirha, Dr_Willis, dnivra: guys, i have to go now! thanks so much for all information!

[13:52] like if you do "explorer ." in windows [13:52] cnu__: Oh wait better yet.. drag the Computer entry from places right onto the panel (duh) [13:52] cnu__: So the full command would be nautilus --no-desktop computer: [13:52] oh man........you saved me.. [13:53] ya its great..... [13:53] just dragging and dropping. [13:53] cnu__: Too obvious ;) === Guest20759 is now known as elik [13:53] cnu__: But I dont know about wacom and Im going to rest now [13:54] How can i open a shared windows folder? I tried to mount it using smbmount and using "mount -a" after editing /etc/fstab. All i get is No such device or address. [13:54] See you next time, have a nice stay [13:54] ok......thank for your help. have a great day. [13:54] nicofs: Places>Network>Windows Network ? Places>Connect to Server [13:55] What is the shortcut for Computer? [13:55] thank you ......bye. [13:55] erUSUL, no such thing in Xubuntu... and to mount permanently i have to use /etc/fstab, or? [13:56] nicofs: yep; [13:56] !samba [13:56] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [13:56] erUSUL, i followed the first howto... [13:56] sl33k_, alt+f2 and type "computer:///" maybe? [13:56] sl33k_, : you can define your own shortcuts [13:56] nicofs: and what error do you get if any? [13:57] erUSUL, "No such device or address" [13:57] nicofs: can you put the line you used in fstab? [13:57] erUSUL, surely... hang on.. [13:58] "//137.193.106.225/ /home/nicofs/Metatron cifs credentials=/home/nicofs/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0" [13:59] ubottu, thank you:) [13:59] Hm, anyone know the "explorer ." trick from the Ubuntu command-line? [13:59] well, the Ubuntu version of it [13:59] dnivra, thak you [13:59] mew_mew: gnome-open . [13:59] phanindra, no problem. u"BOT"tu is a bot by the way :) [14:00] Thanks. I'll try it once the box stops computing [14:00] mew_mew, "nautilus ." ? [14:01] erUSUL, sorry... forgot to write your name in front of the line... "//137.193.106.225/ /home/nicofs/Metatron cifs credentials=/home/nicofs/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0" [14:01] mew_mew: also works with any kind of document. opens the corresponding gnome application [14:01] nicofs: are you sure that that is the correct ip? ... [14:02] erUSUL, got it from the admin in person... [14:02] does anyone use utuber-ripper here? (lucid) It seems that I can download files... [14:03] hi, how high does my load average need to go before I should get concerned? I am running a server that currently has an average of 1.20, and am wondering if that is bad... [14:04] nicofs: if you do « ping 137.193.106.225 » you get a response? [14:04] nerdy_kid: that is a normal low load [14:04] nerdy_kid: how many cores? [14:04] erUSUL: 1@3.2ghz [14:05] itaylor57: ok cool, what does a high load look like? [14:05] erUSUL, why haven't i thought of that... i get a ping... time is even below 1ms... [14:06] nerdy_kid: well I have no experience with ubuntu server so I can only speak from other distros [14:06] nerdy_kid: if you have one core 1.0 means it's working as hard as it can without a backlog. if you have two cores or two cpus, then 2.0, etc [14:07] nicofs: maybe you need to specify //137.193.106.225/nameofshare [14:07] nerdy_kid: if you have one cpu that has only one core and you see 1.20 it means its overworked [14:07] erUSUL, that's what i thought aswell... sadly. i can't reach the admin now... [14:07] hey, i need to edit files in /var/www, how do i create a link to a folder in my homedir, that I can write to? [14:08] maco: yeah but how bad? I mean, is it overworked enough to lower performance significantly? This server is serving two wordpress sites and running a desktop login fyi [14:09] nerdy_kid: this is what decimal points are for. it's trying to do 1/5 more than it actually can. [14:09] nerdy_kid: ive seen on a dual core a 7 one time... that slowed to a crawl [14:11] hey i m running ubuntu 10.10 through virtual disk for making usb boot but it is not detecting usb what should i do?

[14:18] nicofs: ethernet [14:19] cnu_: no, ask properly [14:19] !ask | cnu_ [14:19] cnu_: 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. :-) [14:19] ok ok.... i will. [14:19] Gnea, not existing... [14:19] Gnea: my openGL renderer is MESA ? [14:20] nicofs: and yet, you're typing to me somehow.... [14:20] Inferus: where did you read that? [14:20] Gnea, other pc^^ [14:20] i did glxinfo | grep render [14:20] nicofs: surely you have a method of copying files from that pc to the wifi one [14:21] hey! where can i get support for ubuntu with unity? [14:21] c0nsense: here basically. [14:22] Inferus: you're talking to someone that despises ATI for their history of lack of proper linux support, if you don't give me something to go on here, it's not going to go anywhere.... I'm sure it uses MESA for 3D stuff [14:22] Gnea, can i tell synaptic to download the install file to a specific place and not install it? [14:22] ar [14:22] nicofs: that question makes no sense without a proper point of origin [14:23] nicofs: I'm not sure if synaptic can, but I know apt-get can [14:23] Dr_Willis: /join #what to get support ubuntu 11.04 alpha? [14:24] Gnea, can i specify the cpu architecture when downloading via apt? [14:24] c0nsense: #ubuntu+1 [14:24] Gnea: thanks! [14:24] gah [14:24] Gnea: my product is classed as a legacy product [14:24] and i can only use up to 9.3 from ATI [14:24] nicofs: no, it will default to the distro that's installed [14:25] Inferus: then there ought to be a solid driver for it [14:25] =[ [14:25] im confused [14:25] ok [14:25] it's been around [14:25] i m running ubuntu10.10 through virtual drive for making usb boot through pen drive but its not detecting any external drives what should i do? [14:25] which means it's been supported for a long time [14:25] with longtime support comes stability [14:25] ah k [14:25] it's that simple. [14:25] Gnea: i'm using 10.10 but i want install unity on my 10.10 i need get support there #ubuntu+1 or here same? have a simple command to install unity desktop? [14:25] can i able to Ping my guest OS ? as my host OS is ubuntu and i am trying to ping my guest OS xp ip but it's not responding [14:26] what dependencies are required to run a .bin file??

[14:26] HELLO [14:26] did that work? [14:26] yep [14:26] ok, so, this is rather an advanced package management question... === Hekos is now known as hekos [14:26] Gnea: when i do --listpkg on the driver, i get a list of ubuntu packages up to jaunty [14:26] i m running ubuntu10.10 through virtual drive for making usb boot through pen drive but its not detecting any external drives what should i do? [14:26] and then, source [14:26] can i able to Ping my guest OS (xp) ? as my host OS is ubuntu and i am trying to ping my guest OS (xp) ip but it's not responding [14:27] vipul, i suppose you've not enabled adapters. VirtualBox has plenty of networking tutorials. there's even some in ubuntu's help site. [14:27] dnivra may i know the links [14:27] I am using puppet to manage packages on a server fleet. A new server has been added. But now, the Ubuntu repos do not carry the mysql-server package version that we've pinned [14:28] does anyone know how I can get a list of all the intermediate package versions in a given Ubuntu repository? [14:28] i m running ubuntu10.10 through virtual drive for making usb boot through pen drive but its not detecting any external drives what should i do? [14:28] jsilveronnelly_h: what version of ubuntu. whate version of teh program are you looking for/package name? [14:28] vipul, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox should help i guess. [14:28] Arpit: 'virtual drive' ? or do you mean 'virtual box' ? [14:28] yes using virtual box [14:28] Inferus: I don't know what that means. [14:29] Oh sweet. The nautilus trick worked [14:29] Gnea: i did ./ati-driver.bin --listpkg [14:29] Arpit: use vbox from the vbox homepage. , and check its manual on setting up usb devices. You have to configure them, befor you start the guest os. [14:29] to get a list of what it supports [14:29] I have a OALD8 disc and installed it on U-b-u-n-t-u 10.10, but cannot get pronunciation working any idea?

[14:39] jsilveronnelly_h: Why do you need the intermediate packages?

[14:54] yes [14:54] i'm chinese [14:54] shadey_: depends oon the apps you are running, but if it's PHP then it's not thread safe to begin with an app armour won't help you there. It can cause more problems than anything else by causing conflicts with mods you may decide to install later. Just to save you bashing you head against your screen for hours wondering why your mods/apps/scripts aren't working I would leave apparmour out of the equation.

[15:27] NONG: Live CD should show HDD if detected [15:28] true 9.04 [15:28] my bad [15:28] NONG: also, if you can get a copy of testdisk, its possible that your partition map is screwed up, testdisk can test and find those partitions.. lets not neglect, though, a desk check through fdisk ;) [15:28] NONG, Didn't you just said your HDD is not getting detected from Live CD?? [15:28] NONG, System->Administration->Disk Utility [15:28] I tried with fedora [15:28] ao, and you are talking about wifi?

[15:33] Does the package lsb (linux standard base) really require exim4? When I try to remove exim4 it apt says lsb and lsb-core , lsb-desktop, etc all must be removed. [15:33] how to grep two things at once?

[15:35] thanks unholyterror [15:35] Holek: o.o i asked because firestarter is a firewall.. anyway, the best program for that would be the firewall itself [15:36] regenbogenfuesse: yes, that's a common option in print dialogs, do you want to set it up to do that for every document? [15:36] which file should i check to see which modules get loaded on startup? [15:36] LogicallyDashing, no [15:36] hello guys [15:36] LogicallyDashing, That's not the issue. I need to play them with a specific package (Silverjuke) and can't seem to make it work === Lenoob is now known as Papa-Nowel [15:36] am kind of new to this os [15:36] Munger: what library does Silverjuke use for mp3s? === Papa-Nowel is now known as Papa-nowel [15:36] LogicallyDashing, Not sure where to check [15:36] what could i derive from this os [15:37] regenbogenfuesse: well, what application are you printing from? the way to do odd-number printing is a bit different for every app [15:37] well, not EVERY app === Papa-nowel is now known as Papa-Nowel [15:37] but some apps [15:37] LogicallyDashing, but thanx.... i havent seen that Option yet, strange :-) i take a look [15:37] rs0832: yeah, I know, I've been using it all right, I've also learned tcpdump today during production errors ;) [15:37] LogicallyDashing, OpenOffice-Writer [15:38] regenbogenfuesse: in the print dialog (ctrl+p), click Options... and you'll see a window with some checkboxes, one of which says Left Pages, and another says Right Pages [15:38] vvvccc, example: egrep "EE|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:38] firstly I updated from 10.04 to 10.10 , and my usb drivers do not work after that,after sometimes restart,my usb drivers works, I have dual boot Ubuntu and windows 7, so I login windows 7, use "computer management" tool to resize my swap from 10 GB to 2 GB, after that I restart, grub still works well, the second my screen displays "grub rescue" message , I thought the problem was "resizing the swap", but from that my computer suddenly became slow, I boot up by [15:38] fedora live CD to see my HDD but (as I've said..), I also tried with ubuntu live CD, but as I have said "my computer suddenly became slowly", I tried to login ubuntu live but it take too much time, about 2 hours and still not log in (sorry for my englisgh,if anyone could not understand ! please,ask me) [15:38] regenbogenfuesse: usually for odd number pages you want to uncheck Right Pages [15:38] or isit [15:38] no [15:38] Left Pages [15:38] left pages are even numbered [15:38] LogicallyDashing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:38] LogicallyDashing, Great!! thanx alot [15:39] regenbogenfuesse: you're welcome! [15:39] hi, if i want to see open files with regards to connections to internet i do "lsof -i" but amongst the rubble all i want is the IP addresses, some kind of followup with " | grep ip-number" then store in text file with something like " >>output.txt" but what would be the entire and correct 1-line syntax?? [15:39] LogicallyDashing, Looks like "MPx decoder over Windows Media Player or deprecated/proprietary API" [15:39] thanks unholyterror [15:39] Holek: you could try slurm [15:40] Munger, sounds like you need to install Windows Media Player first. You can do that in Winetricks. [15:40] LogicallyDashing, Thanks. I'll give it a go [15:40] Munger: you're welcome [15:40] LogicallyDashing, Winetricks? [15:40] NONG: Did you.. resize the LINUX partition with the WINDOWS Computer Management? [15:41] Munger: I think you can install it through apt-get these days [15:41] does anyone know a link to a light vmware appliance (or virtualbox one) with IE6 preinstalled? [15:41] !winetricks | munger [15:41] huh [15:41] well [15:41] kegel.org/winetricks [15:41] thx [15:41] NONG, never manage linux partitions with windows! [15:42] Dcite: sure "no" !

[15:44] LogicallyDashing: thanks! i've tried unetbootin and theres no info on google about this. so ill try your method [15:44] Guest23547: if I understand you, you want to format a USB stick with the NTFS file system [15:44] that will make it readable by Windows [15:44] (fat32 will also work) [15:44] IdleOne , LogicallyDashing : Im using ubuntu and I want to make a usb stick with windows on it [15:45] NONG, and you cannot boot into any of your installed operating systems>? [15:45] NONG: What I don't get.. which swap were you resizing in windows? The windows swap file? Or the swap parition? [15:45] if on the other hand you want to make a USB stick that *has Windows installed on it* that's quite different, yes [15:45] Hi, can anyone help me out regarding unsopported wimax modem in Linux? [15:45] Guest23547: that is not Ubuntu related. ask in ##windows how to do that. AFAIK Windows does not offer .iso's [15:45] I wonder if you could just dd if=/path/to/windows.iso of /dev/sdb1 or whatever your USB stick is [15:45] does anyone know a link to a light vmware appliance (or virtualbox one) with IE6 preinstalled? [15:45] LogicallyDashing: ok, I do NOT want to make a live stick. I just want to install windows on my other computer [15:46] Dcite: I used "computer management" in windows 7 [15:46] NONG, he means which swap partition? [15:46] NONG: Yes.. what did you do inside windows 7.. resize the WINDOWS swap file, or the SWAP Partition used by linux? [15:46] Guest23547: for that you would be best advised to use the CD, I don't think Windows supports install from USB [15:46] rs0832: yes I can not [15:46] NONG, you changed the fedora swap? [15:47] Dcite: swap of ubuntu ,I sure this [15:47] hello [15:47] LogicallyDashing: oh fuck :/ ive been waiting for this usb stick for 2 weeks now... i got no cds around at all [15:47] !language | Guest23547 [15:47] Guest23547: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional..

[15:49] I do not expand it, just as you say do smaller it [15:50] Anyone willing to help me out with an unsupported USB Wimax Shuttle modem [15:50] :) [15:50] why bubunta cant install on fat32? [15:50] none_13: Ubuntu requires a filesystem that supports permissions. [15:50] NONG: If you can get yourself an ubuntu live CD.. please consider using testdisk to recovery the previous partition table. Windows should NEVER be used to do something NOT made by windows. (Such as resizing a non-windows partition) [15:51] y i know, but maybe in future u add this option for install on fat32 [15:51] it will be usefull [15:51] none_13: It won't happen. [15:51] not good :( [15:52] fat32 is very deprecated [15:52] none_13: if you want to install ubuntu on a windows partition, use wubi.. i am not sure but i think it does [15:52] Dcite : ok, thank you, I see I have a lot of thing to do [15:52] is any linux distro which is installable on fat32? exclude mandrake 7.0 lol === NG_ is now known as ng_ [15:52] none_13: I think ubuntu can be installed on fat32 if you use wubi [15:53] anyone? list open files --> grep IP numbers --> store in textfile [15:53] its nessesary... i wana make independent work system on usb stick :) [15:53] none_13: you can format the usb [15:53] Dcite: could rootkit did it on my computer ? [15:53] none_13: wubi creates virtual partitions inside windows partitions to enable them to be used [15:53] wubi need windous for launch [15:54] none_13: format the usb stick with a linux filesystem [15:54] wubi is useless from wine [15:54] none_13: why else would you want fat32 if you didn't have windows? [15:54] than i cant copy files from windows systems [15:55] none_13: wubi from wine?? you can open windows systems from ubuntu [15:55] none_13: why couldn't you copy files from a windows system? [15:55] i have not in home... but in wok and interogate with friends [15:56] none_13: you can read/write from and to windows partitions using ubuntu quite well [15:57] i wana make portable system on my usb. not dependable from os on pc [15:57] none_13: why would you need fat32 for that ? [15:57] NONG: I don't get what you mean. If you mean a rootkit type infection. I haven't seen those resize the HDD before. [15:57] but i cant install not ubuntu, not bsd :( [15:58] i need fat32, its nesesary, [15:58] none_13: sorry i lost you... what exactly do you want to do? [15:58] none_13: Why not try things from pendrivelinux.... OR install it on a USB stick formatted with Ext3 [15:58] for contact to non inux ystems === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [15:58] none_13: If you NEED fat32, try pendrivelinux or startup disk creater with a casper-rw to store changes. [15:59] ok thank u... thats good advice [15:59] none_13: even windows systems can read ext3 format with free 3rd party software installed [16:00] sacarlson: ohh. thats what he meant [16:00] rs0832: I"m not sure [16:00] rs0832: no mater what it can do he wouldn't be happy [16:01] sacarlson: yes.. your solutions seems the closest though [16:02] none_13 I'm pretty sure from what I read you dont need fat32 at all [16:03] hol [16:03] HOLA [16:03] hai [16:03] soy nuevo en ubuntu y me gustaria saber algo [16:03] hello everbody [16:03] none_13 just a well configured usb stick with ubuntu [16:03] english please [16:03] :] [16:04] y need to now someting === user is now known as Gengis [16:04] where can I found the archive temporal in firefox [16:04] hey guys [16:04] crstudio7: archive temporal?

[16:10] tinala, maybe a hardware problem? [16:11] seekshive: /usr/plugin/adobe-flashplugin [16:11] seekshiva: /usr/plugin/adobe-flashplugin [16:11] @UnholyTerror: downloaded the debian package for chrome... and flash player came built in [16:11] sam-_-: I have tested the hardware - there is no hardware problem [16:11] t [16:11] k [16:11] Gengis: I don't run much software on them just what is provided from windows and firefox and adobe reader so I don't need much [16:11] tinala, how can you be sure?

I can't believe this is still happening [16:12] I'm all ears sacarlson , UnholyTerror [16:12] seekshiva, then you can install regular from adobe if you want.

I think its corrupted [16:19] seekshiva, FF: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or ~/.mozilla [16:20] rs0832, can i access the GRUB from knoppix [16:20] knoppix: sudo update-grub [16:21] knoppix: yes but it is not advisable to manually fix it if you dont know how to.. just run sudo update-grub from a terminal in ubuntu and it will generate a new config automatically [16:23] rs0832, thankyou so much [16:23] knoppix: no problem:) [16:23] can anyone who uses wubi tell me if c:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is supposed to be an empty folder?

[16:31] vivekthakur: this channel is only for ubuntu support:) [16:31] frxstrem: shift key when booting [16:31] vivekthakur: also the channels Pici suggested will be able to help you better than this channel [16:32] IdleOne: I tried it, but it didn't work (although it showed a message: "GRUB is loading...") [16:32] frxstrem: you held it down? [16:32] IdleOne: oh, I tried again and it worked :D [16:32] thanks anyway [16:32] :) [16:32] sure thing [16:32] transparency and panels are completely different? [16:33] oh, wait -- wubildr.cfg loop-mounts the root.disk image and then looks for /boot/grub/grub.cfg inside it [16:33] still, my sister's problem is this: choosing "Ubuntu" in the XP boot menu gives me "Try (hd0, 0): NTFS5:" and an instant reboot [16:34] hi, how can I make Ubuntu the default boot option in a dual boot macbook system? using bootcamp+refit [16:35] hey guys, can someone help with an nvidia driver issue?

[16:38] I have a dual monitor setup, HDMI going to a TV and VGA going to a monitor. On startup I get the message "x server does not support the size requested," and on the TV, which is my main monitor, the edges of the screen are cut off.

[16:39] rs0832, thanks, I'll take a look [16:39] the first link I've seen already; it's not helpful [16:39] hi all [16:40] !netsplit [16:40] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [16:40] mgedmin: k [16:40] brian__: you have tried the nvidia-settings tool?

[16:42] wael: read the docs at the backtrack4 homepage? its not ubuntu. so not supported here. [16:43] acn anyone tell me how to change boot time background [16:43] ?? [16:43] sam_sam: sure; but why keep two different installs? [16:43] sam_sam: if you use hibernate/suspend that can be an issue. if not - 2+ distros can share the same swap partition [16:43] ALSA/PulseAudio? Anybody? [16:43] vishal: that would be 'plymouth' and there are some alternative plymouth themes out there. [16:44] BrianTheLion: if you need help, please ask.. someone will help you if they are able to :) [16:44] Cheers! [16:45] Why do ubuntu.com recommend Ubuntu Server 54-bit and not 32-bit? [16:45] I just upgraded to 11.04 and I am STILL having issues with my microphone [16:45] *64-bit and not 32-bit [16:45] 3asba [16:45] testing the system [16:45] hi people! [16:45] the problem has been described in a number of different forum posts, but I haven't seen a solution yet [16:45] hi patrik [16:45] so it's kinda interesting [16:45] installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook to stay dualboot and cleaned files in windowsNow will reinstall windows in its partition but it will mess withbootwhat to do after windows install ok to have ubuntu grub boot back [16:46] hi [16:46] BrianTheLion: 11.04 support in #ubuntu+1 [16:46] ok thanks , what issues will be with hibernate.. i use it. if i resume hibernated version without using the other, i think it will not be an issue, am i right ? [16:46] cool! I'll go there. [16:46] At ubuntu.com download section Ubuntu recommends 64 bit Ubuntu. Why don't they recommend 64 bit? [16:46] can you restrict a user to only be able to apply updates to his computer but not install or remove software? [16:46] realubot: ?? [16:47] realubot: 64 bit has higher limits for memory and limits in general [16:47] can anybody help me to edit my chatroom bot to work inside room? [16:47] anybody? [16:47] anyone? [16:47] okay, I booted ubuntu from that root.disk using some black grub magic (after booting grub from usb) [16:47] rs0832: I'm trying to download Ubuntu Server from the download page and they recommend 64 bit but why not 32 bit? [16:47] nice [16:47] ss [16:47] realubot: because servers have high loads [16:48] !ask | patrick_ [16:48] patrick_: 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. :-) [16:48] realubot: 64 bit supports higher limits [16:48] rs0832: Mhm, but what if I use a ordinary computer as server and the computer has got a 32 bit memory. [16:48] because 64 bit ubuntu utilizes the 64 bit hardware and 32 bit doesnt utilize , it assumes 32 bit hardware [16:48] ok! thanks for the info. im just a new user [16:48] realubot: but it is just a suggestion... you should use what best suits your computer [16:49] anyone here knows how to get touchpad working with dell vostro 3400 [16:49] realubot: because most server hardware for the last few years has been 64bit. obviously if you dont have 64bit hardware, use 32 [16:49] realubot: if you have a 32 bit computer, you can use only 32 bit software [16:49] what issues will be with hibernate.. i use it. if i resume hibernated version without using the other, i think it will not be an issue, am i right ? [16:49] i can't get the scrolling work [16:49] rs0832: Yeah, but it wouldn't be nice using a 64 bit version at a 32 bit computer, right? [16:49] realubot most hardware supports 64bit these days if you have a 32-bit sys you will have to download the 32-bit version [16:49] rs0832: Ok, thanks. [16:49] realubot: 64 bit software doesnt work on 32 bit processor:) [16:50] sam-_-: It's a rather old computer having a P4. [16:50] realubot: you're welcome [16:50] 32 bit ubuntu will work on both 32-bit & 64 bit hardware but 64 bit ubuntu will work only on 64 bit hardware. [16:50] realubot, download 32-bit then you don't have a choice [16:50] I've reinstalled Nautilus from the maverick repositories after removing nautilus-elementary and the breadcrumb hacks, but I have no longer access to the "preferences" menu and the default toolbar. How do I reset Nautilus to the default configuration? [16:50] i would like to edit a command for bot to work inside nimbuzz chatroom, can anybody help me to to it? [16:50] realubot: if you tried to run a 64bit OS on a 32bit machine, it wouldnt boot [16:51] patrick_: Surely your bot framework has its own channel. [16:51] for p4 use 32 bit [16:51] sam-_-: Yes. I think I will have to. Thanks for helping me. [16:51] nirazio, try removing the config files === guru is now known as Guest30278 [16:52] sam-_-: how?? [16:52] hello [16:52] can anyone recommend me if i should install 64bit or 32bit on i3 powered hardware? [16:53] i think they are in ~/.config/ somewhere [16:53] pici: where will i go to edit it? i already installed phyton but i dont know how. my nimbot is already working inside nimbuzz chatroom but it lacks of commands. [16:53] sagarchalise: i think it should be 64 bit [16:53] patrick_: What type of bot? [16:53] sagarchalise: 64 bit [16:53] sagarchalise, doesn't matter [16:53] any way to restrict user to only be able to apply updates? no add/remove programs rights, just OS updates. === Guest30278 is now known as gururise [16:54] pici: its a nimbot i downloaded from nimbuzz === tales__ is now known as deusr [16:54] sagarchalise: 256 bit [16:54] I just installed Ubuntu on a BenQ laptop, but the touchpad doesn't work. There is a PS/2 Generic Mouse in /proc/bus/input/devices. I tried evtest on the device, but no events are generated - what should I try next? [16:54] itaylor57: 256 bit? [16:54] macsmister: you could tweak sudoers ( handle with care read docs first ) to let him/her run only update-manager [16:54] patrick_: This doesn't hape anthying to do with Ubuntu, you need to find somewhere that supports exactly what you're using. [16:54] rs0832: just seeing if anyone is noticing LOL [16:55] jrc, did you google already?

[16:59] bloom: then in the chat input (where you type messages) type /server irc.anonops-irc.org [16:59] Anyone know if it is possible to break off a logical drive from the ext partition and make primary? [17:00] jrc, maybe lsusb will provide more info [17:00] Given it is unalloted [17:00] ok thx [17:00] bloom: :) [17:00] what do you mean, break off a logical drive? [17:00] should there be a c:\wubildr.cfg? or is it sufficient to have c:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.cfg? [17:01] Dr_Willis:ok what things i can retain ? i m basically not upgrading , i m installing on a different partition [17:01] I have extended block with a unalloted at the end and gparted has the primary type greyed out when I go to create new partition [17:01] and where could I get an up-to-date version of wubildr in any case? [17:01] Does anyone know the proper syntax for specifying Alt-~ (aka: alt grave) in openbox's rc.xml? I have [17:01] quit [17:01] probably because you've already got 4 primary partitions [17:02] sam-_-: Unfortunately nothing, a webcam and wifi [17:02] sam_sam: reinstalling the same version of ubuntu? you can keep whatever packages are in your apt cache.. but those get auto cleaned out after so much time [17:02] industry__: I mean taking the unalloted part of the extended partition and making it unalloted available for a any type like primary [17:02] i m installing 10.04 and i have working 9.04 [17:02] industry__: :) good guess oh heh [17:03] i'm runing ubuntu 10.10, and I can't get apache to execute ruby files. i can run them from the command line but apache just spits out the source. i installed libapache2-mod-ruby and ruby, but i'm not sure what to put in my virtual host directive to make .rb files run [17:03] sam_sam: so you basically are doing a new install. everything in 9.04 has been upgraded. and thus would beed to be redownloaded [17:03] mgedmin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [17:03] sam_sam: theres not muich in 9.04 you could 'use' to save download time. [17:03] not sure what you mean still, so you just want to make the free space under the extended partition just..free space? [17:04] my linein is not working, no sound [17:04] Gparted always compains and gives me errors and tells me to do chkdsk twice and reboot twice for ntfs partitions even if i am shrinking fomr like 90 gigs on the extnded to say 70. Is this more of a warning [17:04] Dr_Willis:i have been upgrading packages (except the main OS :D) regularly [17:04] industy, yup but I think i will have to mount to it [17:04] Dr_Willis:i just dont want to download nearly 4 GB again :-$ [17:04] so what you want to do is make a new partition in that space [17:04] sam-_-: I have a Windows driver CD, I'll just check that to see if it can reveal anything [17:05] yeah but I forgot about the 4 partition limit [17:05] but to do that you are resizng an ntfs? [17:05] rs0832, yeah, I've seen that page ... "reinstalling wubi" tells you that "oh and by the way this wipes root.disk" [17:05] jrc, lol. yeah. well then you can also look through the logs on linux and maybe dig around in /sys/ [17:06] sam_sam: dosent matter.. everything has been upgraded to newer versions basically. [17:06] mgedmin : o.o [17:06] hello im trying to set up mail server and i have installed postfix postfix-mysql but i dont have /etc/mailname can someone help me tnx :) [17:06] so downloads are necessary / :-$ [17:06] ? [17:06] how do you get rid of the top panel? [17:06] C_Okie: i always scan the windows drives. then defrag them. do the resize.. then have them scan again [17:06] no, I shhhrunk the extended to create unalloted logical and wanted to somehow merge that with the priamary other than mounting but I have 4 partitions [17:06] os ubuntu 10.10 [17:07] Weedo: right click, remove panel. You have to keep 1 panel. [17:07] is there also any particular reason you want it as a primary partition? [17:07] im sure you can get rid of it [17:07] i read it somewhere [17:07] Weedo: I can right click a d'delete panel' to remove the top one.. and keep the bottom [17:07] Dr_Willis: you scan the windows partition before you resize or move stuff too? [17:08] well, if you want to take off space from one partition and add it to another, they must be adjacent partitions on the disk. as far as I know you can't have non-contiguous partitions. [17:08] I lessthanthree Ubuntu. [17:08] i'm getting Waiting for sound system to respond from System->Pref->Sound! [17:08] C_Okie: Most of the time - i let windows resize its own partitions. it can do it faster then gparted i find. [17:08] oh [17:08] sam-_-: Yup, tried the logs and /sys already - but might have missed something [17:08] C_Okie: if i do let ubuntu do it. I scan defrag, resize, scan again. [17:08] C_Okie:don't touch windows partitions , my experience tells microsoft cries everytime [17:09] oh [17:09] but it's gparted bitching sam_sam [17:09] and in general remember that windows partitions aren't fans of being resized because windows throws files all over the place [17:09] can any kind person help me get sound through HDMI? [17:10] well u don't need a primary partition for ubuntu .. [17:10] but in the case of a Vista/7 install then using the windows partition shrinker is probably the best solution over gparted. [17:10] so if I get in trouble, put the linux and windows stuff adjacent in case resizeng/shriking was needed [17:11] needing to resize partitions should not be happening often [17:11] brian__: depends on the chipset. and i think some nvidia chipsets dont have support for that yet under linux. [17:11] See i have some windows stuf ass a primary and the windows data the ubuntu data, swap and unalloted in a extended ;? [17:11] industry__: i don't believe windows has better :O [17:11] oh, how can I tell which chipset i have? [17:11] brian__: lspci perhaps. [17:11] thats a poor layout al toether that's casued me trouble [17:12] I didnt know what to make extended and what just a primary :) [17:12] C_Okie: you could have all of linux stuff on extended partitions if youw anted. [17:12] and data and [17:12] C_Okie: typical layout here --> (Primary Windows)(Primary /) (primary /home) (primary swap) [17:13] bear in mind that neither windows nor ubuntu care whether they're primary or extended [17:13] sorry key was stuck ... [17:13] how do i fix my linein in soundblaster [17:13] should i install alsa ? [17:13] C_Okie: i have noticed that many windows7 setups are allready using 4 primaries by default. that can be a pain. [17:13] i got rid of the last panel [17:13] wilhart: alsa is insstalled by default. [17:13] im just using a dock now!!

[18:48] hi salil [18:48] nirazio: its possible bitlocker isent supported in linux. i cant recall anyone else ever mentionign trying it.. [18:48] lynatik, you want a database with plsql support? [18:48] hi aertyu [18:49] Hi. Can I have Ubuntu require a password when USB sticks are mounted ? [18:49] lynatik: install postgresql ? [18:49] salil: are you sure the file syntax is correct ? [18:49] The SSD I bought is only 60 GB and i have two options 1-partition as 20 GB root and 40GB /home 2-install all on one partition. Which one better and how about swap partition or swap file [18:49] no, i use oracle. I worked with PL/SQL Developer on Windows [18:49] gn [18:50] I need the same nice program for writing PL/Sql code [18:50] is there a way to recursively compare two directories (A & B) and find the # of files A is missing compared to B? the two should be identical [18:50] "sudo aplay -l" doesn't show my soundcard. "sudo lspci -v" gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544989/ what do i do next? [18:50] How can I install a real time kernel?Is there a repository I can use to install linux-rt for Ubuntu 10.10? This package used to be available from the default repositories but isn't in the 10.10 repositories... [18:50] Asad2005: you could put a swap partition on a seperate hd if you wanted. Depends on your ram. You might never touch your swap. [18:50] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/544993/ [18:50] Jemt: Somewhere in gconf you can turn the automount off [18:51] how do i remove unity from my netbook? i positively hate it. [18:51] how can I remove an application whose dependencies are not met? [18:51] frxstrem: How did it get installed in the first place? [18:51] nothingspecial: I can still mount it without a password [18:52] I want to restrict access to external drives [18:52] ... but allow my self to use USB sticks [18:52] salil: well, I installed LAMP and then phpmyadmin, and then I tried to uninstall both but something went wrong along the way and phpmyadmin didn't get uninstall properly [18:52] uninstalled* [18:52] will i damage anything if i just sudo apt-get remove unity and reboot? [18:53] hylian: proberly not. you do have other desktop/window maangers installed? [18:53] Jemt: Yes using the mount command [18:53] frxstrem: Check the properties of phpmyadmin in synaptic.. There will be an "Installed files" tab.. Individually remove all files listed in that (or verify if they have been deleted) [18:53] Only way i can think of [18:53] what app do i use to create dvds in linux/ubuntu? [18:53] nothingspecial: No, by simply using Nautilus - auto mount has nothing to do with restricting access [18:53] Dr_Willis, i ssumed that regular old gnome was underneath and that unity just sat on top of it, am i wrong? [18:53] salil: I don't have a graphical user interface to use, thus I cannot use Synaptic [18:54] zamba: clarify the task.. you mean make 'data' dvd' or convert video to dvd-disks playable in dvd players? [18:54] Dr_Willis: the latter [18:54] I changed the resolution of the splash screen and now I can't get it to boot without invoking a text recovery screen. ( I've uninstalled xserver-xorg, gdm, and every damned thing that I can think of to get it to boot straight into text mode. ) [18:54] does anyone think it would be possible to use a linux usb bootable distro to boot and load virtual box plus windows xp then use antivirus programs to scan that computers hard drive. ? [18:54] hylian: install ubuntu-desktop - that will pull in the full gnome desktop. and you can select gnome at the login screens [18:54] Dr_Willis: also creating menus [18:54] frxstrem: Try googling on getting the list of installed files.. you should find something [18:54] I'm trying to get my system back to a "known good" so that I can reinstall the GUI. [18:54] zamba: its more of a 'converting;' not burning. :) many tools can convert a video to 'dvd iso format' i use 'devede' all the time. [18:55] ilovefairuz: ? [18:55] zamba: or perjhaps k9copy [18:55] ... but can't get it to boot past the recovery menu, which isn't helpful. [18:55] Dr_Willis, as usual you have been of great help, thank you! [18:55] cognitiaclaeves: you do realize theres a 'text' option you can give to grub tjhat will boot to the text based console, disabling plymouth and gdm? [18:55] ok, i am gonna apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then remove unity. thank [18:56] Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll give it a spin :) [18:56] Dr_willis: not sure. I tried replacing 'splash' with 'text' in the kernel options, I still get a text recovery menu. [18:56] Jemt: A specific drive, or any drive? [18:57] cognitiaclaeves: the 'text' mode is not the same as a recovery mode.. [18:57] cognitiaclaeves: i dont get a recovery menu. i just get the login: console :) [18:57] # To disable Plymouth and have a TEXT boot screens Change -> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [18:57] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" [18:57] nothingspecial: Any storage device if possible. But USB devices will do to begin with. I can just remove the user from the cd-rom group [18:57] Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:57] blank = it would start GDM.. if you use 'text' gdm is also disabled. [18:58] Jemt: Yes [18:58] Dr_Willis: "quiet text" still gives me a recovery menu. I think something else is going on, but I can't tell what.. the damned recovery menu clears the prompts that I would otherwise see. [18:58] nothingspecial: But I still don't know how to have Ubuntu request a password when mounting USB devices [18:59] Could someone here help me? I'm having a major problem with my laptop. I have a hard disk of 160Gb. It was splitted to C: (Vista) and X: (Xubuntu) partitions. With KDE Partiotion Manager I formatted the whole C: and put it to Y: and Z:. Now my computer doesn't have this Multiboot-Menu anymore and it just gives me an error: "Non-System disk or disk errror, replace and strike any key to continue". I can access to my Xubuntu with the installation CD: I [18:59] put the CD in -> I choose Boot from the local disk -> Everything works perfectly. How can I modify this Multiboot Screen or even delete it completely? [18:59] Ah, system wide, all users? Nor do I off hand [18:59] cognitiaclaeves: i have grub configred to not even show the grub recovery menu items. so i cant really suggest anything else. [19:00] Im having a problem with my display driver in ubuntu, when i drag my mouse to the right out of my screen it scrolls/pans.. Almost like im using duel screen when im not, if anyone has any idea how to fix this i would greatly appreciate any help you may be able to offer [19:00] vonz: sonds like you dont have grub installed. This is a pure Ubuntu system now? [19:00] Wish: sounds like your resolution is set higher then your monitor is capable of displaying [19:01] wish^: it pans around showing a larger part of the screen that was hidden you mean? [19:01] Yes it is. I am not sure about grub. I am second-day-linux-user :) [19:01] Greetings!, ive got a minor problem, it seems i cannot locate a mysql package in ubuntu any ideas why? [19:01] Dr_Willis: The problem is that I'm not choosing the recovery menu item... this happens when booting with the usual choice after replace "quiet splash" with "quiet text" .

What's the file name? [19:04] oops, that last one was to Dr_Willis :D [19:04] cognitiaclaeves: settings are in /etc/default/grub is a file.... [19:04] Anyone running 10.10 under VBox? I have 10.04 running fine, curious if there are any issues with 10.10 [19:04] cognitiaclaeves: tjheres also /etc/grub.d/* stuff [19:04] MrPicard: not really but ask and if someone knows they will answer, but no promises [19:04] Dr_Willis: Ok. Thanks. I'll give that a shot. [19:05] Ok, thanks Rigved, ok ive been using the offical ubuntu 10.10 AMI provided by Concanical and ive had minor problems such as the full locking of being unable to deploy ftp to additonal users without them using a .pem key (which my ftp client cannot handle) any ideas what i can do? [19:06] . [19:06] so command-not-found checks to see if you're in the 'admin' group, to tell you you can use sudo to install a package, rather than saying you should ask your administrator. yet, there is no admin group on my box, and the only group listed in the sudoers file to run any command with sudo is the 'sudo' group. am I missing something, or should I go file a bug? [19:07] Dr_Willis: How can I copy my stuff to a safe partition? :) [19:07] MrPicard: which ftp client are you using? [19:07] rigved filezilla :-) [19:07] (there is no admin nor wheel group, actually. only staff.) maybe if you make someone 'an administrator' with the default gnome user admin GUI, it creates the admin group and puts them in it? [19:08] Carbon357: Well, there is only horizontal scrolling nothing vertical, and the screen looks completely normal [19:08] Carbon357: and when i scroll right, its just a black screen [19:08] Carbon357: i can even show half of that and half of the original screen [19:08] Dr_Willis, I have X:, Y: and Z: partitions. X: is for Xubuntu. I can see the Y: and Z: from KDE Partition Manager, but not from anywhere else... [19:09] MrPicard: ok. and are you running a ftp daemon on the server? [19:09] Carbon357: resolution is set to auto in Nvidia X server configuration [19:09] Jemt: Try in system > administration > users and groups. Go to advanced settings and unchek the option [19:09] Yup, the default and proftpd [19:09] *uncheck [19:09] rigved: Yup, the default and proftpd [19:10] Hi, funny FloodBot :D [19:10] yay now I can move files between my computers freely [19:10] sshfs is awesome [19:11] can someone help me troubleshoot my soundcard? [19:11] it's a poulsbo hda intel soundcard [19:11] !ask | rlp10 [19:11] rlp10: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:12] rigved: Yup, the default and proftpd [19:12] on this macbook the boot screen image(purple ubuntu with coloring dots) is not as nice as the boot image on my lenovo x200. is it because of the video card? where can I change it? [19:13] my soundcard isn't detected by "sudo aplay -l" although i can see it under "sudo lspci -v" what should i do? [19:13] Carbon357: when i manually try and set the resolution, i have to restart my computer because the screen goes black.. any ideas? [19:13] MrPicard: did you follow this guide to set it up? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [19:14] Is there anyone familiar with Nvidia X server configuration? [19:14] rigved: Yup but it uses a certain key system for ssh which it only allows. [19:15] if im assigned a block of /48 ipv6 how many ips do i actually get? [19:15] MrPicard: ok so this key is what your users need in the form of a .pem file? [19:15] rigved correct (sadly) i just want to use it like i do on the rackspace cloud where i can just set it up in 2 clicks. [19:16] If even Xubuntu is too slow on my rather old Mac, what other light-weight PPC linuxes are there? [19:16] MrPicard: on rackspace you use a web server managemetn panel? [19:16] *management [19:17] Hello? [19:18] Redcoil: not many these days [19:18] what the fastest way to generate 15 rows of 15 alfanumerical chars each and redirect output to a txt file? [19:18] Dr_Willis: Yes, I guessed so. It'd probably much speedier if I were running it on my internal HD instead of an external one, but I'm not quite giving up OS X :P [19:18] MrPicard: well, when your users try to log into your system, the server should automatically send the cert file (.pem) to the users. this does not happen? [19:18] Dr_Willis: The recovery menu still popped up. You've never heard a text-based recovery menu just forcing itself to display? [19:18] Redcoil: all i use my PPC imac for is an OS-X based 'ssh teminal' [19:19] hplc: It involves a cat. ;) [19:19] rigved: Yup they just provide a root password to login, as on AWS this isnt the case, my server rejects all connections. [19:19] well not just 1 such "cube" , 1 can be done manually, but say 20 such cubes [19:19] cognitiaclaeves: nope. there might be some kernel option its using, check the configs/grub.cfg i guess. or some lock/file to tell it to go to recovery mode [19:20] spinningcompass: well can the cat command generate random data in such a way? [19:20] MrPicard: oh do you use sftp or ftps? [19:20] hplc: Mine does. [19:20] spinningcompass: feel free to tell how [19:20] hplc: Well, I leave my laptop open. My cat walks across the keyboard. [19:21] Dr_Willis: Might you know how Arch Linux would fare? [19:21] Redcoil: i imagine it would take forever to get isntalled.. :) [19:21] rigved: ftps [19:21] Redcoil: check the disrtowatch homepage. ther emay be some other ppc linux;s out. but they are getting a bit rare. [19:21] Okay [19:22] anyone know how to authenicate to an https address threw terminal? [19:22] rigved: also when i su - user it requests a password however AMIs dont get root passwords just the .pem file. [19:22] MrPicard: have you added the nonlogin shell? [19:22] spinningcompass: BAH!!!! veeeery funny, seriously, generation of truly random cubes even possible in Linux? [19:22] rigved: Nope, tell me more :) [19:22] MrPicard: nologin shell [19:22] * Dr_Willis wonders how a 'truely random cube' is different from a 'some what random cube' [19:22] MrPicard: it's given in the link which i talked about - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [19:22] hplc: Check out Python and numpy. [19:23] MrPicard: scroll down to securing ftp [19:23] hi can anyone please tell me if ipv6 is on as standard for 10.04? [19:24] boywonder: It is. [19:24] thanks [19:24] boywonder: You're welcome. [19:24] Is there anyone familiar with Nvidia X server configuration? For some reason when i drag my mouse to the right out of my screen it scrolls to black screen as if i should have duel screen, but this is a laptop.

[19:29] hii pepole [19:30] wish^: take a look at http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us to make sure you have the right version of the driver [19:31] How do I check under ubuntu if my notebook has a 32 bit or a 64 bit processor? [19:31] wish^: It looks like you should be using the latest version (some older cards support only certain drivers) [19:31] Aufwind: What does the sticker say [19:32] Aufwind: the processor sticker that is [19:32] balloooza: T2400? [19:32] balloooza: You mean that? [19:32] Aufwind: look at the output of sudo lshw? [19:33] Aufwind: No 64 bit [19:34] balloooza: valros Thank you! [19:34] Aufwind: but usualy you can assume a processor is 64 these days, except for small laptops, and low power laptops [19:34] Aufwind: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo [19:34] Aufwind: if you see output with lm colored in red you have 6 bits [19:34] nothingspecial, well that started, but needs java, does elinks support java? [19:34] HEY [19:34] * (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa (needs the application "aplay").

[19:59] the changes to the device will get copied over to the other union and you should be able to execute that [20:00] balloooza: could it be a internal hardware defect? [20:00] matthiaskrgr: How often will it happen [20:00] matthiaskrgr: and yes, that is possible but not likely [20:00] yea i am unable to find any packages to build in java support for elinks libmozjs-dev spidermonkey-bin both look llike they are unavalable [20:00] I think it happened two or four times since I updated to 10.10 [20:00] ill give you an internet high five if you can help me out [20:00] before I didn't notice it [20:01] the color temporary color shifting at startup is/was quite reproducible I think [20:01] is there another channel I can try?

[20:02] no, the built in one of my thinkpad t60 [20:02] matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login [20:03] the entire screen goes strange and I have no idea what to do against it but shutting i down [20:03] 21:02 < balloooza> matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login [20:03] that's the problem , I have no idea :) [20:03] I joined here *hoping* (yesm that's evil ;) )21:02 < balloooza> matthiaskrgr: hmm, so when does this happen besides login [20:03] that other people had the same problem [20:03] and probably also had solutions [20:04] matthiaskrgr: actualy I just helped someone with an Nvidia problem, but their screen blacked out when they went to the side [20:04] went to the side? [20:04] bye all [20:04] I have an nvidia problem :) [20:04] matthiaskrgr: I was not able to come up with a solution, but it was related to nvidia drivers [20:04] matthiaskrgr: Yes like move your mouse to the side of the screen [20:04] nvidia makes me rage... [20:05] but thats OT [20:05] * balloooza aggrees [20:05] nothingspecial: Hello again. I found a solution to my problem. You can have Ubuntu ask for authorization when mounting devices, by changes the configuration in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy. Simply find the mount options and change the "allow_active" property from "yes" to "auth_admin" or "auth_admin_keep". Though you might want to know :) [20:05] since I have a ati radeon x1300, it is very unlikely that I'm affected by nvidia drivers I think :) [20:05] hey, would it be possible to transfer a hdd command-line install to a LiveUSB install, by any chance? [20:06] bencahill_, yea you should but the boot loader will be messed up [20:06] matthiaskrgr: Did you look on google to see if anyone else has your peoblem [20:06] i'm successfully using a huawei e1552 mobile broadband usb stick with a 10.04 box. but the stick doesnt work with a 10.10 install. the basic problem, i believe, is the stick is not properly recognized by 10.10 (no desktop icon popping up, after the stick was plugged in, no entry in /media). however, the stick is recognized by lsusb. any idea how to make that stick visible to the system? [20:06] so i got the restricted nvidia drivers enabled, but it says they are not being used. and I cant get into the settings. says something about editing xconfig and restarting x server. [20:06] how do i check in terminal which driver x i using? [20:06] how do I remedy this? [20:06] wish^, glxinfo I think [20:06] how to open .so files [20:06] dangerFlakes, reboot [20:07] I have, but will again [20:07] doing it now [20:07] We need to go and kill nvidia, or make #ubuntu-nvida [20:07] hmm, most items seem to be related to monitor "turning off" which is defenitely not the case in my case [20:07] dotblank, would it matter if I used this? (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-810/) [20:07] balloooza, i agree, it plays hell on my 240 [20:07] dotblank, the computer doesn't have native USB booting support [20:07] how to open .so files??? [20:07] http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp does that applet work for anyone? for me it stops on a black screen... [20:08] Aihetleos: in short, you dont [20:08] dangerFlakes: did you run the command to use the nvidia config ? [20:08] bencahill_, oh well you would need to use a cd to get a bootloader then chainload onto the usb [20:08] probably not [20:08] wish, egrep "EE|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:08] or have the kernel on the cd and initramfs [20:08] dotblank, correct, would it work? [20:08] i dont know what that is [20:08] and pass the root to be the squashfs on the usb stick [20:09] sudo nvidia-xconfig [20:09] i download flash player from the official site and it downloaded as fp.so [20:09] wish^, glxinfo | grep renderer [20:09] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a lenovo T60 Notepad. Everything worked fine and I booted for the first time. [20:09] dotblank, or if I could get the hdd install to stop reading from the hdd every fifteen seconds, that would work also [20:09] wish^, Taht should give you the graphics card if known [20:09] But I cannot get connected to my wireless lan. [20:09] video editor for linux? [20:09] kino? [20:09] Aihetleos: In that case, you put it in your browsers directory [20:09] balloooza: http://pastebin.com/wK4tmt9D dunno whether it helps [20:09] dotblank, ...because I'm creating a digital picture frame, and want it to be silent :) [20:09] editing the odd home video [20:09] Is there a way to check if the wireless card is installed? [20:09] Aihetleos: What browser you using [20:09] (no, not home made porn) [20:10] balloooza> opera [20:10] bencahill_, well you could load all the files into a tmpfs [20:10] Aufwind, try sudo lshw -C network [20:10] Aihetleos: What version [20:10] dotblank: ERROR: Couldnt find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig [20:10] Aihetleos: Or I should say 11 is out [20:10] v11 [20:10] dotblank, tmpfs = ram? only has 128mb ram :( [20:11] dotblank: does that mean ive successfully uninstalled the drivers :D? [20:11] wish^, looks like you don't have a driver that works or you don't have x running [20:11] Aihetleos: do you have flashplayer installed through apt-get [20:11] Hi, my touchpad is stopping to work after some minutes. How can I check logs to fill a bug? [20:11] bencahill_: It is disabled. How do I enable it? [20:11] Aufwind, command line or desktop install? [20:12] bencahill_: desktop install. :-) [20:12] in the future if anyone else asks, do not uninstall unity. just logout, and before login, choose ubuntu desktop version from the log in choices for desktop manager, thank goodness for my usb drive. [20:12] bencahill_, is this using any embeded linux distro or you using ubuntu on some wierd device? [20:12] whoo, thanks wish^ and i_is_broke, im more of an idiot than i thought [20:12] bencahill_: But you can tell me the command line command too if you like, thanks! [20:12] bencahill_, the disk io (to me) on a system with that little ram would use swap and cause excesive disk IO [20:13] can some one guide me how to install sun java in ubuntu 10.10 [20:13] dotblank, just ubuntu 10.10 on an old laptop (800mhz-ish,128mb ram, so on) [20:13] bencahill_, if you want a minimal install for a dedicated perpuse I would go with a non-ubuntu solution [20:13] dotblank, command-line install [20:13] ok all thanx for the help!

[20:14] dotblank, yes I know, it's just that ubuntu is so easy, and it runs fine on this laptop (with command-line), it's just that I don't want the hdd spinning [20:14] bencahill_, ubuntu minimal uses about 20mb of ram [20:14] Aufwind, what's the card? [20:14] bencahill_, what are you using for display.. X or the framebuffer? [20:14] dotblank, framebuffer, using fbi, works like a charm! [20:14] cg_cnu: you can have both openjdk and sunjdk at onetime [20:15] bencahill_, ubuntu by default uses the unused ram for disk caching [20:15] dotblank, disk caching?

Root fs mounts OK from a live CD, but boot stops for a few seconds on "waiting for resume device", then reports failure to mount root fs to /root (not /) because of an invalid argument. Then I'm dropped into the initramfs shell. It's confusing, because it's a desktop machine: no suspended session to resume. Any [20:16] suggestions? [20:16] Aufwind, thx, just a minute :) [20:16] bencahill_, are you trying to completely nix hdd read/writes? [20:16] (Karmic, BTW.) [20:16] I want to install alchemy. A painting soft.

[20:16] Aufwind, what v of ubuntu? [20:17] cg_cnu: you will just need the sun jre then if you arent compiling etc [20:17] bencahill_, you could use the hd for the bootloader then use the flash drive for the root [20:17] bencahill_: 10.10 32 bit [20:17] yes....I am not compiling anything. I am going to use the software. [20:17] dotblank, yes nixing hdd read/writes would do it :) [20:17] bencahill_, I would recommend using /bott on the hdd [20:17] dotblank, that would also work fin [20:17] s/fin/fine/ [20:17] mshughes you see me [20:18] */boot [20:18] how do I install the ethernet drivers on ubuntu 9.10 [20:18] hello [20:18] dotblank, yeah, hdd is fine, as long as it can spin down without being disturbed :) [20:18] blahsphemer: most of the time,t heyare recognized out fo the box [20:18] Hey [20:18] Jemt: ty :) [20:18] i m root of my system i can't do copy [20:18] blahsphemer, you should'nt have to [20:18] is that normal ?

If there is a way to solve it. :-) I need the wireless lan. :D [20:22] aertyu: what command are you using? [20:23] cp [20:23] KM0121, ok i686 corresponds to i386, i guess [20:23] for copy [20:23] biopyte: thats correct [20:23] thx [20:23] hi [20:23] mike have you configured it yet [20:24] aertyu: to copy directories add -R [20:24] aertyu: for more info type: man cp [20:24] cjdevlin: isnt there other way to enable vino on boot?

Not going to store important data on it. /home will be formated with EXT4 [20:35] I'm trying to create a USB bootable drive for 10.10 UNR, but the app I was instructed to use requires .IMG files, whereas the netbook image is an ISO... what's an easy way to create this from windows?

[20:35] how do i give admin priveleges to a user [20:36] Egonis: Did you read the directions at the ubuntu netbook website, it tells you all about it [20:36] bencahill_: It says: Wireless Network (disconnected) and Wireless Networks (wireless is disabled) [20:36] balloooza: Yes, however after following said instructions, the netbook hangs on bootup, which makes me think the image was written incorrectly.

[21:47] no one here knows anything about bluetooth? [21:47] WindPower, I don't know [21:47] WinstonSmith, how can I know ? [21:47] jcrawford: ask a question, if people know the answer, they will respond [21:47] jcrawford, no, we're all clueless about bluetooth :) [21:47] bencahill, see now there's an answer :) [21:47] I'm running Ubuntu and I want to redirect every socket connection from one port to another without using extra hardware (router). Is there any way to do that? Editing hosts files only redirects the IP addresses and not the ports. [21:47] ikonia, i did, no one seemed to respond, was not sure it even went to the channel [21:47] jcrawford: it did [21:48] gribouille, you are trying to record from a microfone? [21:48] Drknzz, did the pastebin thingy work?

[21:51] hey all, is there any way to limit the reads on the main hdd?

I tried useing config-2.6.35-23-server under /boot for my .config but it didn't give the same results. Anyone know why? [21:54] is the update manager down? [21:54] i can't download updates :/ [21:54] yeah, is there any way to limit reads on the root (/) hdd? [21:55] DeadmanIncJS, what error msg? [21:55] DeadmanIncJS: seems to be working for me.

[21:55] that's all it says [21:55] DeadmanIncJS, well, have you checked it? :) [21:55] Drknzz, anything? [21:55] Anyone else can help? [21:55] Does Ubuntu use the vanilla OpenOffice or does it use Go-OO? [21:55] nasad_, Sorry [21:56] DeadmanIncJS, can you access internet via browser/ping? [21:56] what's to check...im on wireless now [21:56] same as always [21:56] Just checked StackOverflow and got hooked [21:56] worked before [21:56] just not today [21:56] DeadmanIncJS, well, does the internet work? [21:56] anyone using Tor? [21:56] nasad_, This may be a blind guess but the 40G is the new un-mountable drive... right? [21:56] yes [21:57] browsing web now, on here as well [21:57] nasad_ ??? [21:57] Drknzz, the 40G is the disk hosting the OS and it is working. it is the 1TB the one that is inaccessible [21:57] hi, how can I configure gdm such that gdm is still running on ctrl-alt-f7 and the started session is on another tty, e.g. ctrl-alt-f8? [21:58] :) [21:58] DeadmanIncJS, what server is it set to? [21:58] nasad_, The new disk is somehow encrypted? And which command did you use to mount it? [21:59] I uninstalled my nvidia drivers on my laptop and now the computer wont boot past the loading screen [21:59] Drknzz, it was mounted automatically. I wouldn't be surprised if it was encrypted. I took it out of my Lacie Networkspace [21:59] independent, google, canonical [21:59] wish^, you may want to try the nomodeset and vga boot options... [21:59] WinstonSmith, ok [21:59] DeadmanIncJS, have you tried the main server? [22:00] gribouille, that works just tested it [22:00] mshughes are there [22:00] Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-beta/google-chrome-beta_8.0.552.224-r68599_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 209.85.225.93 80] [22:00] is my error [22:00] nasad_, If you dont need the data inside, id suggest you format the disk [22:00] test [22:00] I uninstalled my Nvidia drivers to do a fresh install and i rebooted but now i cant get the computer to boot past the login screen because it goes black [22:00] DeadmanIncJS, yeah, try the main server [22:00] Drknzz, I actually do need it. It is my photo collection for the past 4 years. Is there any other way? [22:01] which is? [22:01] DeadmanIncJS, not a problem with the internet, as I get a 404 here for that link also... [22:01] DeadmanIncJS, you're using synaptic? [22:02] nasad_, Hmmm only one of the partitions get mounted? [22:03] no, update manager [22:03] DeadmanIncJS, why dont you try :https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [22:03] Drknzz, not sure if I got the answer for you. But on my "computer" view I got Three new mounts. 999MB, 6xxMB, and a third one called Array [22:03] wish^: is there a nvidia reference in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? and if you want a fresh install, why not boot the livecd and install fresh? [22:04] VCoolio: i dont want a fresh install, i just wanted to do a fresh install of the nvidia drivers [22:04] DeadmanIncJS, chrome without the built-in "big brother from google" [22:04] i'll have to try later === le0- is now known as leon1 [22:04] i gotta run though, be back later [22:04] ruuuuuun [22:04] DeadmanIncJS, what is under Settings > Ubuntu software > Download from ? [22:04] nasad_, Seems like the partition scheme was done in such a way to fool the automounter [22:05] wish^: ah; well then you don't need graphical anyway; once at login screen, do "ctrl+alt+f1" and install nvidia driver, then retry; you can't install driver while x is running [22:05] Or somehow block you from using the disk out of the Lacie device [22:05] VCoolio: i cannot get to the login screen, its black screen after the Ubuntu logo and loading screen [22:05] WinstonSmith, it works. thanks very mutch :-) [22:05] nasad_, what does sudo fdisk -l show? [22:05] Drknzz, Interesting [22:06] Drknzz, didn't you get it on Pastebin? [22:06] hi [22:06] wish^: then in grub menu choose backup option; it will boot with basic settings [22:06] nasad_, Yes, im getting some ideas... [22:06] nasad_, oh, I must have missed it :) [22:06] gribouille, you are welcome [22:06] --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545065/ [22:06] nasad_, thx [22:06] where can I get more info about "1>&2" or "2>&1"? [22:07] NCS_One, in #bash [22:07] WinstonSmith: ok, tanks [22:08] bencahill, :) [22:08] nasad_, Get into a terminal [22:08] Drknzz, I am on [22:08] Could somone please tell me where i could find my SQL settings? it seems i cannot access MYSQL with the password i assigned so i must have miss typed it [22:08] nasad_, type sudo mkdir /mnt/temp [22:08] nasad_, then sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/temp [22:08] nasad_, and then sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/temp [22:08] AkakuMatt, in /etc/mysql [22:08] Beat you to it bencahill_ [22:09] Drknzz, almost beat you :) [22:09] nasad_, use sda2 like Drknzz said :) [22:09] thanks lighta [22:09] Then look at what /mnt/temp has nasad_ [22:09] nasad_, cd /mnt/temp [22:09] nasad_, then ls [22:10] nasad_ get puppylinux +test a live cd [22:10] NCS_One: found with Google: http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/67768-confusion-about-1-2-2-1-a.html [22:10] Drknzz, sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/temp returned ---> mount: you must specify the filesystem type [22:10] uperax, Why? [22:10] it works [22:10] nasad_, interesting :s [22:10] nasad_: mount -t $filesystem [22:10] ubuntu is a bit odd at times... [22:10] nasad_, Seems like that supposed linux partition is either encrypted or intentionally damaged [22:11] Sorry quick question. I'd like to have virtual Ubuntu instances for playing around with things. I _really_ don't like messing with my main install [22:11] uperax: no it's not [22:11] ikonia, he is no perl interpreter :) [22:11] gparted? [22:11] nasad_, yeah, you shouldn't have to specify for a linux partition [22:11] AkakuMatt: your mysql password isn't stored in a configuration file, it's stored inside a database inside mysql, connect as root and change it [22:11] uperax, odd? [22:11] Drknzz, it was accessible before I disassembled the disk. I also must mention that I needed a password to access it previously [22:11] I am not sure if this will be a Server or Desktop install (I don't need X windows system inside _nor_ want it), but I may be running X programs from within this instance [22:11] misha680: where is the question ? [22:11] nasad_, Give me a minute [22:11] is chroot or kvm best way to go? [22:11] tes odd [22:11] or something else? [22:11] nasad_, where would you enter said password? [22:11] misha680: then you need X [22:12] Drknzz, ok [22:12] messes things up. [22:12] Hi [22:12] misha680: kvm [22:12] bencahill, mmmm [22:12] misha680: chroot is not a virtual ubuntu instance [22:12] nasad_, mmmm? :s :) [22:12] not my problem... [22:13] bencahill, I am new to this stuff [22:13] maco and iknoia: so what is the practical advantage of kvm in this case? I'm not sure I understand... and can I use vmbuilder? [22:13] maco and iknoia: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html [22:13] does anyone know of a good program to convert video to mp3 i tried a few but no luck [22:13] misha680: kvm is a vitual machine, chroot is nothing to do with virutal machines [22:13] nasad_, what was your setup before, was the 1tb the boot hdd? [22:13] mike are you in [22:13] hcj: ffmpeg -i video.something output.mp3 [22:14] hcj, ffmpeg should do the trick, as ilovefairuz showed :) [22:14] everton: there is no nick name of "mike" in this channel [22:14] ikonia: thank you. maybe I'm obtuse but I'm not getting it... does the chroot somehow _not_ isolate me in a way that the virtual machine does? is there a performance benefit to kvm? [22:14] Hi! I'd like to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but do-release-upgrade tells me there was no new release found. I have apt-get update-ed. Any suggestions? [22:15] bencahill, the 1tb disk comes from a Lacie networkspace box. I installed it into my PC for better performance. to connect I am using a PCI Sata controler [22:15] raar: change your system -> admin -> software sources setting to allow non-LTS upgrades [22:15] misha680: chroot is not a virtual machine, it is just locking you into a directory [22:15] I am running Ubuntu [22:15] misha680: kvm is a virtual machine for you to install and run an OS [22:15] ilovefairuz it wont let me into mysql [22:15] AkakuMatt: what command are you using? [22:15] nasad_, I am trying to get the info on how to mount an encrypted Ext2 FS [22:15] ubuntu 10.10 live disk needed to restart session and is asking me for a username and password what do i punch in? [22:15] nasad_, where/when would you type the password before? [22:15] sudo mysql -password [22:15] Drknzz, highly appreciated [22:15] iknoia: thank you. I will try vmbuilder. [22:16] its denies me saying incorrect password [22:16] maco: I assume that's some gnome menu option? I have it installed on my server without X, can you tell me how to do this from the commandline? [22:16] misha680: chroot will merely lock the executed program to a subdirectory of your root filesystem, but no process or memory isolation [22:16] Bencahill, the networspace had it's own network interface, and I would find it on the network as an SMB share [22:16] raar: oh [22:16] raar: let me dig through configs for a moment...

[22:19] oups [22:19] dfd [22:20] tim: you're welcome [22:20] starn: 2 monitors are seen as one, so it will always stretch, you need to manually re-size [22:20] usuario: please stop that [22:20] hcj, do you just need codecs to play stuff [22:20] I've also tried on other distributions, and all the "old" ones work fine, but not the new distributions (tried Ubuntu 10.10 32 and 64 bits, as well as Fedora 14 32 bits). Could someone point me to some kind of changelog between 10.04 and 10.10 for the "core" system ? [22:20] ikonia i can't sadly well only one program i can't. guess i stick with windowed mode [22:20] i want to make my video to an mp3 [22:21] hcj: you need to strip the audio then ecode it as amp3 [22:22] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGIheRK9OzY <--- Any open source app that might be able to duplicate the functionality out of the box(amost)? [22:22] extor: what is that app ? [22:23] I'm having trouble setting up opengl, glxinfo reports "direct rendering: No". how can i start troubleshooting? [22:23] extor: or what does it do, I should say [22:23] nasad_, No real info i can find :/ [22:23] ikonia its just a project tracking system...keeps track of marketing efforts [22:23] sinan: what video card do you have [22:23] Drknzz, I've been searching for a long time. [22:23] extor: sugar crm [22:23] nasad_, do you need the data on that disk? [22:23] nasad_, I found info the Lacie NetworkSpace is compatible with Linux.... but not about it's HD [22:23] Drknzz, however I am not sure if this would mean anything to you ---> http://lacie.nas-central.org/wiki/Category:Network_Space [22:24] ikonia, sugar is written in php? is it super easy to mod...why do you recommend it? [22:24] crm or CMS??? [22:24] hcj try looking ffmpeg [22:24] AkakuMatt: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix .. to stop mysql, instead of killing by the pid, use: sudo service mysql stop [22:24] WinstonSmith, it has my photo collection for the past 4 years or more [22:24] extor: it's php, its easy if you understand it, and it's a good end to end tool [22:24] just started using Ubuntu [22:24] ikonia, what have you used it for? [22:24] ikonia: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [22:24] nasad_, uff :( [22:25] extor: not really on topic for #ubuntu [22:25] sinan: ok, so that should be compatible [22:25] ikonia, is this it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SugarCRM [22:25] ikonia: cool! :) how to get it running though? [22:25] WinstonSmith, no worries here. I can always access the files using the original enclosure. But I don't have enough capacity anywhere else to copy them if I am supposed to attempt a format. [22:26] nasad_, sounds like u need to buy a cheap external HDD for backup :) [22:26] so again [22:27] nasad_, but why did u take it out if the enclosure anyway? [22:27] hmm I wonder if sugarcrm has any irc channels [22:27] is there any way to, for example, redirect somehost.com:87 to someanotherhost.org:43? [22:27] YouArePwned: iptables [22:27] How can I run Vino server at boot WITHOUT unlock the keyring? [22:27] pls help [22:27] ikonia: i thought of that [22:27] but i don't know the syntax [22:27] YouArePwned: ask the guys in #netfilter [22:27] ok [22:27] WinstonSmith, Lacie Networkspace is extremely slow, and is no good for many basic operations. Whith this amount of pics. I was hoping I'll get a little performance boost. [22:28] ok so i have two computers connected via cross over cable. successful ping. I have samba shares going. Where in windows 7 do I find these samba shares? [22:28] nasad_, ah ok. it all becomes clear now! ;) [22:28] *sigh* [22:28] ikonia: just a pointer to where to start from (regarding opengl support) would be awesome :) [22:28] sinan: look at the xorg logs for any hints [22:29] tim, in windows type winkey+r, type in \\ip.of.ubuntu.box [22:29] ikonia: great, thanks :) [22:29] sinan: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [22:29] how to make ubuntu stop asking for passwords [22:30] WinstonSmith, I might have to go with your suggestion eventually. Although it is going to be time consuming and certainly not cost effective. [22:30] can anybody tell me why my 4 gigs of ram is showing up as 3.41 in ubuntu on conky [22:30] Sorry nasad_ Id recommend you fiddle mounting all of the drives partitions until you manage to find anything.... or use your Lacie as a case or something [22:30] as no one's there [22:30] YouArePwned> Hi. I need to make a machine redirect every outgoing connection to 10.0.0.1:1625 to, for example, 192.168.1.1:921 [22:30] Is there any way to do that without extra hardware (like router). I tried iptables (maybe incorrectly) but I got nothing is result. [22:30] Jordan_U: sure, http://pastie.org/pastes/1386052/text [22:30] dospod, are you running a 32bit ubuntu? [22:30] yes [22:31] thats why...lol [22:31] it should still register the 4 gigs... [22:31] !PAE | dospod [22:31] dospod: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [22:31] dospod, using the pae kernel? [22:31] nope [22:31] now I know I need to do that [22:31] dospod, then install it [22:32] dospod, I guess my knowledg ends here. I tried 64bits ubuntu and it registered my 4gb as 4gb [22:32] dospod, in conky it shows usable RAM not total available [22:32] dospod, install linux-generic-pae [22:32] how do you install a downloaded file through wine? [22:32] Drknzz, Thank you very much for your help. You saved me a lot of time. I guess I am gonna have to move to plan B :) [22:32] WinstonSmith, WINSTON!!!! You're the man!!! files are being retrieved. AWESOME! [22:32] dospod, these ~500 missing are address space for the other devices in your box : hdd, vga etc === leon is now known as Guest1338 [22:33] tim, :) [22:33] well thank you [22:33] hcj: wine file.exe [22:33] i have a very old ftpd [22:33] oh yeah thnx [22:33] dospod, that'll pull in what you need [22:34] hi all! Just bought a wacom bamboo tablet and I can't make it work on ubuntu 10.10. I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom instructions and something is not ticking right. === Guest1338 is now known as Antokan83 [22:34] sinan: Odd, from that output I would expect that you would have direct rendering. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary? Do you have more than one X server running at once (more than one user logged in)? [22:35] nasad_, Burn the whole thing? [22:35] Drknzz, :D I imagine it this way [22:36] Has anyone heard of Adempiere or even used it? [22:36] Drknzz, however what I'll do is to get a secondary back up, move the files onto it utilizing the original enclosure which still works. Then come back to the channel for format tips :) [22:36] Drknzz, unless you can advise me right now!! [22:37] * WinstonSmith thinks there is nothing a little gasoline and a match cant fix ;) [22:37] is there an app that will let me send an SMS, it will execute it, then reply the result? [22:37] prodigel: can you provide some details? what's not working? === nourvan is now known as Sandman === Sandman is now known as Sandman| [22:38] Jordan_U: i don't have more than one X server running one, but I did play around with that a few weeks back. I was trying to learn about X, I could have screwed up maybe? Would you like me to provide any particular files? [22:38] ilovefairuz: am i supposed to use 'sudo mysqld_safe --init-file=/home/me/mysql-init &' Or just do it as my account? [22:38] nasad_, I have no plans to move off the pc so go gon [22:38] *go on [22:38] yeats, sure. Any details you want. I'm not sure what's wrong, lsusb tells me wacom co., ltd, but gimp or inkscape don't seem to find the device properly === Sandman| is now known as Ninurta [22:39] Drknzz, oh it's gonna take a few days until I arrange for a secondary backup :) How long are you staying online?!!! :) === Ninurta is now known as systemg33k [22:39] sinan: Does "pgrep X" print one number or two? [22:39] so I'm really wary to just go creating directories in /var, in case I get permissions or ownership wrong. apt is trying to build kernel modules, and then complains that /var/crash doesn't exist. I can't figure out what package /var/crash might be created by [22:39] yeats, friday night here, having a couple of beers, I may not be as coherent as desired ;) [22:39] nasad_, Oh, thought you could just copy the files over in acouple minute [22:39] Jordan_U: one [22:40] sinan: Ok, then you're only running one X server at the moment. [22:40] Drknzz, I wish! [22:40] sinan: Could you pastebin the complete output of "glxinfo"? [22:40] could someone with /var/crash do a `dpkg-query -S /var/crash` for me, please? [22:40] Drknzz, besides I am talking about almost half a TB [22:41] Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/pastes/1386074/text [22:41] nasad_, Easy as pie for a SATA3 connection [22:42] Drknzz, this is why I wanted to mount it to my PC in the first place. Lacie Networkspace is a pain. It's incredibly slow [22:42] nasad_, Oh i see [22:42] So you basically bought it for the HD? [22:42] Drknzz, transfer rate never reaches above 2mb/s [22:42] Deutsche auch hier ? [22:43] nasad_, u_u [22:43] Giengener, in #ubuntu-de [22:43] Drknzz, nope! I bought it out of ignorance :) I thought it was going to be enough. Lack of research [22:43] Hey guys just disabled password for my logim and now when I try to login I get could [22:43] Not update iceauthority [22:43] I described my problem at the forums, I need to solve it as fast as possible: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647693 [22:44] nasad_, Oh [22:44] yeats, still around? [22:45] Drknzz, I guess I will sign off now.. Thank you once more, and I guess I'll back for more help soon. Cheers. [22:45] Whenever I try to apt-get anything, I get a bunch of 404s. I'm on 9.04 [22:45] nasad_, Good Luck [22:45] Good night everybody. Thanks [22:45] JoeCoolDesk: 9.04 is no longer supported, you'll need to upgrade.

[22:49] I was going to switch to KDE because it seems the apps just run smoother especially the rss app Akregator, but not if I have to deal with unthemed gtk windows haha [22:50] jocrawfo: use DE independant apps then ;) [22:50] jocrawfo: unthemed? [22:50] jocrawfo: check your settings... [22:50] ActionParsnip, oh you mean java apps? [22:50] maco, yea very plain old style buttons etc. I opened Firefox ugly, Zend Studio, ugly [22:50] i'm looking to make an linux usb boot with antivirus suite.. is there any premade? like does ubuntu have its own flash drive bootup stuff with antivirus? [this is to clean up windows systems] [22:50] maco, what setting would that be? [22:50] jocrawfo: im a kde user and the gnome apps all mimic the kde theme here [22:50] Im Trying to Learn ANSI C, and i want to do it primlary in UBUNTU, im quite new to both ubuntu and C , If anyone is willing to talk me threw and help me please PM me, ill be back in 30 min [22:51] jocrawfo: system settings -> application appearance -> gtk appearance ... set it to QtCurve [22:51] i have a book i am following [22:51] How can I run Vino server at boot WITHOUT unlocking the keyring? [22:51] JoeCoolDesk: Where does it say that? [22:52] share: so you want the keyring to unlock automatically? [22:52] KM0201: yeah and im using autologin [22:52] "# update-manager is something you don't want to install on cli servers" Middle of the page [22:52] share: if you google, there's instructions on disabling the keyring... id on't have them handy at the moment [22:52] Seems like a update just did my ubuntu in how can I back the updates out not even sure what updated [22:52] JoeCoolDesk: Yes, for servers you install update-manager-core. [22:52] KM0201: the only solution i found is to blank keyring password but it's not sage [22:52] safe [22:53] wacom tablet not working here. pls help :D [22:53] share: well, i don't know what you want.. it's no safer tha it starting w/o needing authentication [22:53] share: i should say, no 'less safe' [22:53] KM0201: because im not using a monitor [22:54] JoeCoolDesk: That doesn't mean that you can't upgrade a cli server, it simply means that for a cli only server you should omit installing the "update-manager" package (but still install the update-manager-core package). [22:54] YouArePwned, are you running a webserver on that port? [22:54] KM0201: i want vino to start at boot just like ssh server [22:54] jocrawfo: no, apps that work the same in any DE, like wicd or leafpad. Both are DE independant. Gedit uses gnome, kate etc uses Qt, Leafpad uses neither so will look the same [22:54] share: i understand that.... but if you set it to "not require you to enter a password", how is that any less safe than just removing it? [22:54] jocrawfo: as an example [22:55] KM0201: it's the same thing but i dont know how to disable keyring [22:55] share: i told you, google turns up lots of hits on it. [22:55] YouArePwned, ...if so, you could have the server redirect anything going to 1625/* to 921/* using htaccess, i believe [22:55] KM0201: im trying [22:55] https://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_tips_&_tricks#09 [22:55] share: and you said "its unsafe" [22:55] Is there a way to grab the textbox contents of a semi-responsive program (specifically, gedit, it doesn't response to mouse or clicks but tooltips show and cursor blinks) [22:55] wrong window >.> [22:55] KM0201: ssh starts at boot without needing to type a password [22:55] i want something similar but for vino [22:56] or maybe i need to use another vnc server [22:56] maco and i do that in kde right? [22:56] but fino is easy to set up [22:56] ok brb [22:56] *vino [22:56] share: Vino uses the GNOME Keyring API to store its password. [22:56] Jordan_U, I get it. I've updated the sources to point to the "old" URL and I'm doing a do-release-upgrade [22:56] share: Just leave the keyring unencrypted. [22:56] wgrant: yeah [22:56] It is no less safe than having it stored raw. [22:56] JoeCoolDesk: yeah [22:56] (which is the case with SSH) [22:56] The upgrade won't break anything, will it? [22:56] JoeCoolDesk: er not you [22:56] wgrant: what do you mean with unencrypted [22:57] blank password [22:57] ? [22:57] share: Yes. [22:57] ok [22:57] wgrant: do you recommend other vnc server that starts at boot? [22:57] share: Not really. [22:57] ok. [22:58] tks for the help anyway [22:58] sargas: I think gedit keeps temporary files named normal_filename~. See if everything you need is in such a file in the same directory as the original. [22:59] is there an app that will let me send an SMS, it will execute it, then reply the result? [22:59] maco, i do not seem to have that option, can you tell me where to find it again please? [22:59] bencahill_: no, it's no my server [22:59] Hola soy nuevo [22:59] not my server* [22:59] Jordan_U: unfortionatly, i didn't save, so there is no filename as far as I can tell [22:59] jocrawfo: systemsettings -> application appearance -> gtk appearance [23:00] jocrawfo: maybe need to install gtk2-engines-qtcurve first? [23:00] ccould be let me try that [23:00] anyway, i'll wait for the support on the forum [23:00] jocrawfo: ah! kde-config-gtk [23:01] installed closed and re-opened system settings still no such option [23:01] cinstall that or run it? [23:01] *grumble* I'm guessing if someone greps their /etc/group for 500, it will come out blank. I'm not sure why some files on my system (that I've never touched , like /etc/network/interfaces) have group ownership of GUID 500... [23:02] sargas, it probably wont show up in a file manager. you can open a terminal type "cd /directory/name" enter. then "ls" enter. to see if its there [23:02] hmm ok i installed that, still not seeing it :( [23:02] noonian: mine is owned by root:root [23:02] ah now i do [23:03] sammy: see ^ [23:03] noonian: wrong target, sorry [23:03] ActionParsnip: your /etc/network/interfaces? makes sense. [23:03] ActionParsnip: I can't seem to figure out where this group 500 came from [23:03] hmmm maco do i need to reboot or restart KDE they still look ugly lol [23:04] noonian: ls -A shows nothing in the directory i opened gedit (confirmed by checking 'jobs' that the current dir matches). Like I said, theres no filename since it wasn't initially saved [23:04] ah i see the title bar etc filled in [23:04] dpkg-query -S says that no package owns /etc/network/interfaces. maybe it was an issue with the initial install. [23:04] but buttons yada yada are still unstyled gtk [23:04] so i guess it's either Gnome or KDE with ugly apps lol [23:04] How do I get evolution mail to check my spam folder also? (nothing under recieving options). [23:05] jocrawfo: maybe have to log out [23:05] is it safe to assume ubuntu v10.10 32bit can only take advantage of 3GB RAM? [23:05] brb [23:05] propose any usb tvtuner working in ubuntu [23:05] sargas, hmm that is a bummer [23:06] kcorcoran: yes 3-3.5 is all you're going to address with 32bit [23:06] ok seems a bit better now [23:06] kcorcoran: no , either kernel or pae are capable of more [23:06] !pae [23:06] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [23:07] kcorcoran: server-kernel or pae [23:07] sargas: Have you tried typing ctrl+s? [23:07] buttons are still unstyled but at-least the title bar is lol [23:07] kcorcoran: pae gives 32bit kernels access to up to 64Gb RAM [23:07] not sure how to answer that? === root is now known as Guest95052 [23:08] Guest95052: IRCing as root is a REALLY bad idea dude [23:08] kde seems nice seems snappier than Gnome for some reason [23:08] !who | kcorcoran: [23:08] kcorcoran:: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:08] wonder if my apps will still lock up to dark grey screens under kde lol [23:08] let me ask this, how much ram can desktop v10.10 64 bit handle? [23:09] ActionParsnip: let me ask this, how much ram can desktop v10.10 64 bit handle? [23:09] kcorcoran: that was no question, but an answer, either pae or serverkernel can do that [23:09] Guys... how can i disable automatic laptop display dimming? [23:09] DasEi: sorry, i don't understand who I would configure PAE [23:10] kcorcoran: in theory 4 Exabytes [23:10] kcorcoran: install a kernel with pae support [23:10] kcorcoran: like the server kernel [23:10] ActionParsnip: wow! lol [23:10] thanks for the tip maco [23:10] kcorcoran: you mean how, see link ubott.. gave or simply install server-kernel , reboot (and choose) [23:10] mgolisch: if i just installed desktop v10.10 64 bit, would that address 8gb [23:10] kcorcoran: I think theres some paging stuff or something that needs to happen so its a bit less but its still silly amounts of ram [23:11] kcorcoran: yeah 64bit can use much more than 8gb [23:11] ActionParsnip: i just need something to take advantage of 8gb :() [23:12] kcorcoran: Current implementations of the AMD64 architecture (starting from AMD 10h microarchitecture) extend this to 48-bit physical addresses[9] and therefore can address up to 256 TB of RAM [23:12] kcorcoran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 [23:12] mgolisch: do i need to do anything special with 64bit version to get it to access all 8gb? [23:12] does anyone know if i can control gedit using dbus? (specifically, i'd like to use qdbus, so i just need the service name and i can figure it out from there) [23:12] kcorcoran: nope [23:12] wow the font size in zend studio is very large it's using kde fonts, is there a way to make the default kde font smaller? [23:13] kcorcoran: 4 PB, good enough for pacman [23:13] Can I run Ubuntu Notebook on a machine with less then 1GB ram? [23:13] dont see y not [23:13] give it enough swap [23:13] mgolisch: i am VERY new to linux (unbutu)...i initially installed unbuntu to play flightgear - i know this can be done in windows, wanted to have something to force myself to learn a new Os. anyway, is there any drawback of moving from 32bit to 64bit? [23:14] DasEi: PB? [23:14] petabyte [23:14] systemg33k there is also xubuntu that is designed to run on systems with little ram [23:14] jocrawfo: right click on desk, apperance [23:14] kcorcoran, you shouldn't move to 64 bits unless you have more than 3.25GB RAM or need some specific performance boost 64bit gives [23:14] HOLY CRAP!! never even heard of a PB?? [23:14] kcorcoran - a few apps aren't available on 64 bit [23:14] kcorcoran: 4 Petrabyte [23:14] that is HUGE!! [23:14] like the amazon mp3 downloader [23:14] Anyone familiar with RVM? I have a ubuntu 10.04 server, I want to run all my web services through apache (NTOP, Snort, Snorby, Nagios) can I use RVM to manage rails on my server with apache? [23:14] I was looking for a little bit of help setting up a dual monitor system with twinview [23:15] Hello ! , guys .. i am stuck on the Kubuntu 10.10 installation screen from the Live CD. is this a known issue ? it's an"LG E300 , with Nvidia Graphic driver , i used unetbootin to burn the iso to a usb stick .. Trying to baypass that screen for 2 days now ! [23:15] i have 8GB and want to take full advantage - would there be a better suggested route? [23:15] what screen are you on? [23:15] I did do-version-upgrade but I'm still on 9.04 and still not on the latest versions for python or PHP. [23:15] is there an app that will let me send an SMS, it will execute it, then reply the result? [23:15] Daekdroom: i have 8GB and want to take full advantage - would there be a better suggested route? [23:15] Sary which screen? [23:16] kcorcoran: pae kernel or 64bit, either is fine. Some 3rd party companys only support 32bit (like brother and Canon for printers for example) [23:16] ActionParsnip: is changing my kernel to PAE something a noob can do? [23:16] kcorcoran: I guess it's a 64 bit cpu, go witht 64 bit then, how many cores ? [23:17] DasEidual core [23:17] DasEi: dual core [23:17] kcorcoran: just install the linux-image-pae package and you'll have it [23:17] kcorcoran: I'd use 64 bit [23:17] ActionParsnip: would that be your recommendation vs installing 64bit? [23:18] DasEi: appreciate the input. this channel has helped me considerably!!! [23:18] kcorcoran i myself would go with 64bit [23:19] actually i have :) [23:19] but i have 8g ram [23:19] R1cochet: can you elaborate why? [23:20] i mainly installed 64bit because i run some apps that need much memory [23:20] pae doesnt realy help there [23:20] if a single process neeeds to allocate >4gb of memory [23:20] hello. I have very weird problem with ubuntu 10.10 it boots for ever. I just make fresh install and it does not want to stop booting. I have this ubuntu booting screen with 5 red dots. The harddisk led is blinking but nothing works. Its like this more then a10 minutes [23:20] its just easier than changing to the PAE kernel [23:21] but ubuntu is a very easy-to-use linux distro [23:21] been on it for a few years [23:21] What makes ubuntu easier to use than other distros? They seem pretty much the same, with different themes and default packages. [23:22] anyone have experience using raid? i was thinking about setting one up [23:22] acovrig: Some people say in the forums you can do it with Empathy [23:22] okay, this is throwing me off. i am on the ubutu to page, i select v10.10 / 64bit - but the huge but only shows the 32bit download? [23:22] scratch that! [23:22] kcorcoran: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ [23:22] acovrig: Not easily though. You might want to find something else. I am looking though. [23:22] FishFace: thanks [23:23] hello [23:23] JoeCoolDesk well for instance i have a newer nvidia 450gt grx card. to get it to work on fedora i have to install the nvidia drivers myself. on ubuntu the device manager installs the drivers for me [23:23] whats up? [23:23] R1cochet, The fist screen ,after choosing 'Start Kubuntu , that " Try , Install " Windows. [23:23] is it okay to load the 64bit version on an itel chip? [23:23] intel [23:23] R1cochet: soft or hard ? [23:23] kcorcoran: yess [23:23] kcorcoran: yes if it's 64bit [23:24] does anyone know how to examine the memory of a running process? i dont' mind making it core dump if anyone knows how [23:24] can someone help me [23:24] sorry, should have kept reading before asking. [23:24] DasEi not sure. was thinking hard but was reading about mdamd raid or something like that [23:24] sargas: install and run htop [23:24] some linux package that will setup raid for you [23:24] ilovefairuz1: Welcome back [23:24] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!! === ilovefairuz1 is now known as ilovefairuz [23:25] R1cochet: I've got good experience with mdadm soft raid [23:25] AkakuMatt: thank you [23:25] kcorcoran i run 64bit buntu on i7 quadcore [23:25] !ask | luneth95, and don't shout [23:25] luneth95, and don't shout: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:25] oh ok [23:25] ilovefairuz I did what you suggested and i followed walkthrough but no luck [23:26] Anyone out there have any experience with dual monitor setups using Nvidia twinview? [23:26] well I've got my ubuntu 10.10 running on the netbook next to me and I cant get the wifi to wrok [23:26] DasEi yea thats what it was mdadm [23:26] work* [23:26] DasEi: i already use htop [23:26] as is i have 2 1.5tb drives, one internal other external [23:26] AkakuMatt: pastebin the file and the commands you've useds [23:26] used ** [23:26] hmm can anyone help [23:26] R1cochet: hard raid is somewhat too pricy to me, cheap controllers get coped by softraid, and I'm not in the budget for a raid5 dawicontrol or such [23:26] will i be able to setup a raid1 w/ that config? or do i need to move external to internal [23:27] !wirelesŝ | luneth95 [23:27] yea im not spending $300 on a raid card and was reading that the cheaper ones are fakeraid [23:27] !wireless | luneth95 [23:27] luneth95: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:27] im stuck with ubuntu i walked into my room and my sister was fingering herself :S i kinda accidently jizzed on my ubuntu disk and it has fried holes in it?

[23:27] raid 1 [23:28] ubuntu is half installed now :( [23:28] thanks for all the help!! i am going to test out 64bit...fingers crossed. lol [23:28] but i have a few questions [23:28] R1cochet: Unless you're dual booting with windows there's no real advantage to FakeRAID over mdraid, and many disadvantages. [23:28] ahh but i do dual boot [23:28] i want to poop all over my sister [23:28] and rub it in [23:28] then eat it off her [23:28] has anyone managed to install Ubuntu on "LG 300 -310 ". [23:28] IDK what happened but it was working this morning [23:28] however the drives to be raided are ext3 so winblows will never see them [23:29] R1cochet: you can install ext3 readers in windwos [23:29] when using dd to write image.img to pendrive, is it supposed to be mounted or not? [23:29] Sary have you tried to boot the livecd in safe graphics mode and then install?

[23:30] R1cochet: i'm kind of confused then nvm [23:30] Sary try the safe graphics mode [23:31] that always worked for me when regular didnt [23:31] Alright.

[23:31] DasEi thank you for the link [23:31] I'm having an issue with my dual monitor setup. Windows maximize to only one screen only (which is what I want), but full-screen apps cover both screens (which is most decidedly not what I want. Anyone have any ideas? [23:31] hi all.

I've tried following the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom guide with no succes === sebikul is now known as sebikul_ [23:32] DasEi when i go to setup the raid and have stuff already on one drive will it erase that drive? i really dont want to lose 1tb of stuff [23:32] R1cochet: for my taste raid setup at install was more hassle then in the latter with mdadm "manally", but might be of taste === sebikul_ is now known as sebikul === bjames is now known as Guest66226 === sebikul is now known as sebikul_ === sebikul_ is now known as sebikul [23:32] i dont want to raid my OS drive, just storage [23:32] anyone help? [23:33] and not worried about the cpu being used [23:33] AkakuMatt: what's the output of : dpkg -l mysql-server* | grep ii [23:33] luneth95: put a # infront of the line you want to comment out [23:33] but both of the 2 lines have lo in them [23:33] luneth95 insert "#" at start of every line [23:33] w/out the "" [23:33] oh ok [23:33] gonna try now [23:34] luneth95: if you look at hte file you will see comments in there start with # The primary network interface etc...

It's driving me nuts. [23:37] nertil: with the shutdown command. Something like sudo shutdown -h now will turn it off [23:38] anyone familiar with hdd partitioning and dual booting? i recentlly redid my system and im haing a few problems as well as a few questions. [23:38] nertil: sudo shutdown now or halt from grub terminal [23:38] AkakuMatt: ctrl+z backgrounds what ever you where running [23:38] cha0s2358: ask .. [23:38] AkakuMatt: fg to bring it back [23:38] i installed a maverick minimal install but didnt configure usernames and passwords, its a CLI only thing i installed, what is the default login? or do i have to i nstall again and setup the root and user passwords? [23:38] didnt work [23:38] R1cochet, This is odd ! there is no " Safe Graphic mode " option in F4 Modes. [23:38] ok its backgrounded but till no access [23:38] and I'm trying to get the wifi to work [23:38] like is there a default root password for maverick? === dlublink is now known as dssadf90 [23:39] sickgut: you should have setup a default user account [23:39] sickgut: root is disabled ubuntu uses sudo [23:39] I have a raw file that contains a partition table and I want to mount one of the partitions in the table. How do I do this ? [23:39] ok i brought it back but it is still just hanging [23:39] histo i know that now lol [23:39] so there is no way ill have to reinstall? [23:39] mount -o loop doesn't work on the file because it has 3 partitions [23:39] AkakuMatt: ctrl+c will kill whatever it is you where doing? [23:39] how to shutdown my ubuntu from terminal [23:39] Hey lads [23:39] sickgut: you can probably fix it [23:39] first off it shows 6 different ubuntu 10.04 lts options when choosing operating system. ubuntu 10.10 lts 2-35-23, 2-35-24 , 2-35-26 and then a recovery console for each of those. is that normal? [23:39] sickgut: you can boot to recovery mode which should dump you in to a root account. [23:39] histo i was using sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 command to reset my root password [23:39] thanks [23:39] sickgut: then you can create a user [23:40] sickgut: unless disable can boot into init 1 and change there if forgot pass [23:40] disabled* [23:40] sickgut: ad them to the admin group so they have sudo access amongst other groups [23:40] :) [23:41] ^^^^ this is when i turn my computer on and am supposed to choose between ubuntu and windws [23:41] AkakuMatt: okay? [23:41] AkakuMatt: sudo killall mysqld_safe [23:41] cha0s2358: it's shwoing all the kernels [23:41] cha0s2358: you can remove the older kernels if you no longer want them. [23:41] !who | cha0s2358 [23:41] cha0s2358: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:41] histo ok so that is normal ?? [23:42] No process found [23:42] cha0s2358: yes [23:42] [Q], I am use VMware Workstation booting XP guest under ubuntu host, the VMWS screen is transparent not even a BIOS... but if i take a screenshot ~ i can see the VM is it working. It was working be4, but not now. i have touch compiz and nvadia-driver. if i use lxde the VM work but KDE GDM isn't. how do i fix it ? [23:42] Noobish question here, it's not the first time I have this issue, but I've never actually been able to understand it. Basically, when I use my arrows, vim just displays C, D, B etc. Can anyone assist please? [23:42] hello all :) My 10.04 froze while skyping and after several reboots there now is no networking available 'networking disabled' [23:42] histo ok so does it matter which one i choose? [23:42] Sary that is odd. sorry but not sure what to do then. maybe try ubuntu intsead of kubuntu [23:42] AkakuMatt: ps aux | grep mysql [23:42] SnakeFast: vim doesn't user the arrows [23:42] you can always switch to kde if you want [23:43] stodertoad: is it ethernet? [23:43] help!!!!! I cant get the wifi to work [23:43] *tear* [23:43] wow.. [23:43] Pastebin hang on [23:43] cha0s2358: yes, you choose what kernel you want to boot. You can boot the latest one you have installed would be the highest number ex: 2.6.35-xxx vs 2.6.32-xxx 32 would be the older 0one. [23:43] both ethernet and wifi the wireless icon only has one dropdown option 'networking disabled' [23:43] http://pastebin.com/eqQbqx6k [23:43] R1cochet, i'm on it , thanks buddy. [23:43] luneth95: Please stop saying "help". It won't get you helped sooner and just adds noise. [23:43] luneth95: pastebin: sudo lshw -C network [23:43] !paste | luneth95 [23:43] luneth95: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[23:44] ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/eqQbqx6k im going to lunch please use PM? ill be gone 10 mins [23:44] cha0s2358: I usually only keep the current kernel and one prior on my machine incase I find an issue withthe current one. [23:44] luneth95: did you follow the link I gave ? [23:44] i don't know how to do that [23:44] yea [23:44] but it didint make any sense [23:44] histo ok i get that but will they just keep pileing up? how do i remove the older ones? [23:44] luneth95: where are you stuck ? [23:44] besides it was working earlier [23:44] cha0s2358: the are very easy to remove in synaptic. [23:44] cha0s2358: with software center or synaptic [23:44] it was weird this morning [23:44] stodertoad: do you have a network icon up on the taskbar? [23:44] is it a command I need to know [23:44] cha0s2358: you just gotta pay attention and make sure you're deleting the old ones [23:44] histo> I might be new to this issue, but I am not new to vim. Just so we're on the same page, I'm actually talking about the navigation arrow keys [23:45] AkakuMatt: the reconfigure process still hasn't finished? try: sudo service mysql stop [23:45] for that paste I got a system error install archive() failed [23:45] luneth95: sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 [23:45] Anyone, please? [23:45] yeah the icon is there but it doens't have the usual options it only says networking disabled [23:45] kool deal. [23:45] cha0s2358: they will be names like linux-image-2.6.3xxxxxxx [23:45] stodertoad: you can right click the icon and make sure there's a tick next to enable networking. if there's no tick, click that option once [23:45] DasEi about using mdadm if i already have one drive w/ info on it and want to mirror that drive, when i setup mdadm will it erase the drives then setup the raid? [23:45] there isn't any 'enable networking' [23:46] R1cochet: no, but you will use raid0 for that [23:46] luneth95: lspci | grep Network Do that in a terminal [23:46] it's a grayed out option that says 'networking disabled' not anything i've ever seen before [23:46] histo ok last question is it possible and how exactlly would i go about taking my 320 gig hdd and seperating it as follows. 20 gig for windows, 20 gig for ubuntu, and the rest a shared partition which can be accessed by either os? [23:46] why would i use raid0? i just want to mirror [23:46] not stripe [23:46] DasEi: RAID0 isn't morroring. [23:46] *mirroring [23:46] k trying it [23:46] R1cochet: and do yourself a favor and config it so you can just pull 8a failed) drive with the raid being runnable on one hd only [23:47] stodertoad, if you right click the icon is the check box greyed out to enable it again? [23:47] Jordan_U: right, 1 [23:47] not sure what happened like it's very strange I've been using ubuntu for a year and this is the first time this has happened to me [23:47] R1cochet: no, but you will use raid1 for that ° typo [23:47] cha0s2358: I would use gparted to resize your partitions. You need to boot off the instlal cd to resize the current runing drive. The shared partition I would create an ntfs one. [23:47] Quick question for you guys: ubuntu 10.10 is Firestarter installed/running by default in a wubi install [23:47] oh yeah I know what you are asking about those options have all disappeared [23:47] stodertoad: ok.. are you familiar with system > administration > network tools ? [23:47] stodertoad, and is it possible a you have a hardware switch for turning off networking? [23:47] yeah i've used those befor [23:47] Klevi: not default, but installable [23:47] DasEi to be clear, no is it wont clean the drive during setup? [23:48] cha0s2358: Keep in mind you can install a tool in windows to read linux partitions, and linux can already read your windows partition so there may not be a need to keep a seperate shared one. [23:48] and i have tried turning off wifi and turning it on again but it doesn't change anything [23:48] what should I do with network tools? [23:48] R1cochet: yes, data is safe on setting up mirror [23:48] luneth95: looking for the type of card that it outputs [23:48] SnakeFast is there a reason your using vim instead of gedit? [23:48] DasEi thank you much [23:48] any way to speed up Xforwarding using ssh over local network? [23:48] DasEi: Thanks thats all I was looking for. =) [23:48] what does that mean? [23:48] histo ok i already set it up in partitions but i dont know how to make the 280 gig partition available and readable by both os. i want applications and programs stored in the shared as well as multi media [23:48] luneth95: most likely a broadcom bc43xx [23:48] I'm new at this [23:48] R1cochet, totally thought you were going to say emacs :P [23:49] cha0s2358: well ntfs will work for the shared partition without installing anything in windows. [23:49] lol [23:49] Was trying to get Ubuntu to do ICS for my Pandora over its USB0 interface, and the help guide to set that up doesnt work [23:49] i hate both editors [23:49] so what do I have to do? [23:49] had to use them briefly in school [23:49] R1cochet> I work on many different servers, don't want to have to switch editors all the time [23:49] ahh ok [23:49] R1cochet: why? vim is great [23:49] in network tools all the network devices 'wifi' 'eth0' are there but they have 0's for everything [23:49] luneth95: Applications > Accesories > Terminal [23:49] my alsa stopped worked. aplay says there's no soundcard. /proc/asound/cards does list NVidia, though. I also hear a small noise when I do modprobe snd-hda-intel. any idea what's wrong? [23:49] k there [23:49] R1cochet: nano-nahnah [23:49] wim is great yes, but i just dont care for it [23:49] luneth95: then type in lspci | grep Network and hit enter [23:50] i do like nano [23:50] ok but still what i am asking is once i make it ntfs how do i tell windows to use the partition [23:50] luneth95: case matters in Network [23:50] stodertoad: sorry, system > preferences > network connections [23:50] histo ok but still what i am asking is once i make it ntfs how do i tell windows to use the partition [23:50] network controller:brodcom corp [23:50] yeah those are there [23:50] cha0s2358: w2indows will see the partition in my computer automatically. In linux you need to add it to /etc/fstab to have it mounted on boot [23:50] SnakeFast so what about the direction keys in vim now? [23:51] R1cochet: hjkl [23:51] ok cool deal [23:51] wireless is the same as it was before [23:51] R1cochet> I used to use nano. It's just not enough anymore compared to what I can achieve with vi. On the other hand, I don't have this kind of problems in nano ^^ [23:51] histo ok cool deal [23:51] R1cochet: there is vim-tutor will walk you through it. [23:51] luneth95: if you don't put nick in replys it really gets hard to follow, ifup didn't revoke it ? where in the manual are you stuck ? [23:51] histo? [23:51] all my wireless networks are shown no change in anything [23:51] R1cochet: you can use the arrow keys too if you like, but hjkl is much better usualy as your fingers will be on that line anyways [23:51] R1cochet: the navigation keys in vim or vi is jkl [23:51] is it just me or is this kinda of a weird occurance [23:51] R1cochet: hjkl [23:51] stodertoad: it's never happened to me [23:52] histo it was SnakeFast asking about those, but thank you [23:52] R1cochet: it's made so that you fingers stay on the home row while you use it. To change text you have to hit i for insert mode etc... [23:52] stodertoad: i wonder if it's a permissions problem, if your user account isn't allowed to use it [23:52] R1cochet: oh sorry [23:52] stodertoad: join luneth95 [23:52] !wireless [23:52] all good [23:52] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:52] i know it's crazy the computer just froze as it was going into saver mode and than i had to reboot and now no connection [23:52] SnakeFast: see my above conversation with R1cochet [23:52] How do I do that? [23:52] i was curious myself :) [23:52] also i like the ability run shellcommands from within the editor [23:52] luneth95: what is the bc43xxx part bc4321 etc??? [23:52] realy cool [23:52] luneth95: the chipset [23:52] [00:50:47] SnakeFast so what about the direction keys in vim now? Currently, I'm having an issue with my dual monitor setup. I'm trying to get fullscreen programs to occupy one screen only. Anyone got any ideas? [23:53] mgolisch that is nice [23:53] okay thanks going thereluneth95 [23:53] SnakeFast: you use hjkl for navigation and you need to check out vim-tutor [23:53] histo: BCM43224 [23:53] luneth95: like : stodertoad: shall we view the troubleshooting-guide [23:53] I can't believe 10.10 nuked my gentoo partition. Whne I installed, I told it to mount my arch partition on /mnt/Arch and gnetoo on /mnt/Gentoo. Now, gentoo is only lost+found and it is GONE. What a shame (of course I did not accidentally select format partition) [23:53] luneth95: I believe you will need the broadcom STA driver. Does this system have a wired port you can use to install it? [23:53] histo> Thanks for saving me having to read through the log [23:53] SnakeFast: np [23:53] SnakeFast also i believe that you have to excape from insert mode before you can move around [23:54] escape* [23:54] histo: no I have wifi at my house and no wired cards [23:54] why? [23:54] SnakeFast: /lastlog nickname is another way aswell [23:54] hola [23:54] okay so I should look at the troubleshooting guide first ? [23:54] luneth95: do you have another machine you can download stuff from? [23:54] R1cochet: but yeah i might not be a std ubuntu user i guess, i mainly use awesome as wm and i think firefox is the only gui app i use regularly and i have vimperator for that [23:54] R1cochet: so i can fully operate everything without a mouse [23:54] histo: the desktop I'm working on now [23:54] :) [23:55] histo: is the driver universal? [23:55] luneth95: k and a thumb drive or cd to get the files there right? [23:55] luneth95: yeah [23:55] histo: I'm booting off of a usb [23:55] luneth95 it'spretty easy to install that driver.... if you have the 4322, you need to follow the appropriate instructions... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:55] ыам [23:55] mgolisch i hear ya === adante_ is now known as adante [23:55] trouble shooting guide doesn't help because it's seperated as wired and wireless but this problem combines both [23:56] i'll try the other room that guy suggested [23:56] KM0201 doesnt device manager install the proper drivers? [23:56] luneth95: on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx follow the STA - No Internet section [23:56] !ru | conq [23:56] R1cochet: according to that, you have to do it. [23:56] conq: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:56] ok [23:56] k [23:56] R1cochet: but it would appear they are either on the CD, or easily installed from synaptic. [23:57] hello [23:57] hello [23:57] hey guys! So I have an issue... ubuntu worked just fine (right until the day I had finals.. of course) now it just freezes on the logon screen. Is there a way of recovering it with out wiping my data? =) [23:57] luneth95: it'll be a LOT easier if you can hook that machine up to the router for about 3min [23:58] L4nce0: you could grab your data with a live cd [23:58] KM0210: I know but I dont have a lan cable [23:58] luneth95: you realize they are only about 10-12 bucks don't you? [23:58] L4nce0: can you expand, can you type your username and such....? [23:58] is anyone here good with ANSI C [23:59] meekwarrior: ask in #c this is ubuntu support [23:59] good idea [23:59] L4nce0: can you choose whether its gnome or other desktop environment? [23:59] luneth95: is there a machine you can disconnect for 5min and use it to connect your laptop, so you can install it? [23:59] L4nce0: can you boot safe mode ? [23:59] does anyone know how fix the "Unable to find specified executable" error that thunderbird gives me when i receive a new email? [23:59] hello brethrens [23:59] mmm, have to be a live USB, it's a netbook. Honestly most of the real data is on my drop box... but considering I'm a Jr in CS, I should learn how to fix it. I cannot type anything, recovery mode also freezes [23:59] luneth95 isnt your modem wired to your router?
