Maximized windows show on one screen only (which is what I want. [00:07] i used to get notices, so something must've happened when i upgraded thunderbird, i guess... [00:08] is there any package i can install in apt-get to restore notify-send to my system?

Currently I just run 7 and when I need to do any cpp work I run oracle's virtual machine software [00:10] L4nce0: dual boot is pretty easy to set up [00:10] L4nce0: a little unclear question, you can : [00:10] ive been running dualboot since i made the switch [00:10] very simple to setup [00:11] L4nce0: use a usb on netbook, have ssh with rootacces there and then also access the hd of that netbook [00:11] and yes it is an unclear question [00:11] Hey, I recently changed my login password, but when I first turn on my computer the new password won't work. So I have to use my old password, but the thing is once my computer goes to screen saver after 5 minutes and I have to login again, then I'll have to use my new password. Its a little strange, so I was wondering if there are two different passwords that needed to be changed, or if this is some kind of fluke. Any thoughts? [00:11] L4nce0: from win 7 putty lets you ssh into the usb-os [00:11] sorry let me clarify. I want to dual boot, but still be able to run the exact same instance of ubuntu but as a virtual machine.

[00:12] L4nce0: hardly. you can get /home copied and take a the paketselection, but not the config [00:12] DasEi: Hmm thanks, was worth a shot. My current work around is an abuse of the dropbox application [00:13] @R1cochet, that makes sense, but where would I go to change my root pass? [00:13] L4nce0: hehe [00:13] Bluefever unfortunately that im not sure of [00:13] ActionParsnip: guide says "dd if= of=/dev/da0 bs=1m" but it fails saying "1m" is an illegal number [00:13] I'll just try to google it, but thanks for the help @R1cochet. :D [00:13] Bluefever: changing root pass from what situation (just switched back here) [00:14] DasEi: seriously, try dropbox as your eclipse directory. All your computers now have the same workspace! All old data is backed up so in the case of data getting messed up syncing it's still there === vxcvxcv is now known as DaZ [00:14] L4nce0: I'm a fan of raid /w rsync, already married [00:15] @DasEi.

[00:30] DasEi, ok [00:30] DasEi, were will he install the source? what will he do with it? [00:31] @ carl_ i'd reinstall :) [00:32] AuroraX: you can use the sources to compile own kernel, if features are missing or obsolete [00:32] you get the source just in case you want to compile new kernel with custom settings [00:32] carl_: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update plase use: http://pastie.org to give the output [00:32] So, I would like to download ubuntu, but I have to do it from the CLI. Where can I get the latest distro's URL?

Isn't it possible to get Ubuntu Server in fullscreen when running it in vbox with guest-additoons installed? Do I really need X to get the resize thing working going into fullscree? [00:33] AuroraX: I "guess they go to /src somewhere [00:33] armence_: w3m ubuntu.com and browse to the download you want [00:33] DasEi, are they readable? [00:33] try C :) [00:33] realubot: well you probably have to up the framebuffer to whatever resolution you want. [00:33] DasEi, or they're just some random binaries? [00:33] C /shudder. just finished a class on cpp [00:33] realubot: passing a vga=771 or whatever you want to the kernel on boot. [00:33] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1386277 [00:33] AuroraX: Iook yourself : /usr/src/linux [00:34] actually learning cpp, made me like c, showed me how much worse it could be ;) [00:34] AuroraX: ls -la [00:34] realubot: no you cna use this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [00:34] realubot: lets you define the res of the server screen :) [00:35] Is it possible to remove "Lock Screen" option from Indicator Applet Session?

[00:37] seems to be not part of the indicator applet ?? [00:37] L4nce0: you one bad thing about linux ? almost erything can be fixed.. (vs time for wipe n new).. learningcurve, quite addictng [00:37] know* [00:38] easy to screw things up too when you're just starting :) [00:38] ActionParsnip: I don't use ATI or nVidia cards.

I did well but almost killed me) [00:39] Pici: thanks, does it download it from the repo?, I mean, can I send the patch overthere when finish? [00:39] DasEi: there is alot of version in that folder a none is the one i've downloaded [00:40] icepeda: It does. Yes, you can file a bug in launchpad against that package and then attach your patch to it as a solution. [00:40] AuroraX: nice, but let's stay topic here [00:40] histo: Doesn't work. It has some fancy javascript and forms and such. Isn't there an ftp site? [00:41] DasEi, ? [00:41] Pici: I just download the src, where is it by default?

[00:42] AuroraX: and the sources-command the other buddy gave you installed ? [00:42] /usr/src [00:42] DasEi, yes, but im trying to locate where apt-get put the one he downloaded [00:43] AuroraX: try find or a locate after an sudo updatedb [00:43] So, is there an ftp site from which I can get ubuntu? Or a simple url I can pass to curl or wget? [00:43] DasEi, well, i used the apt-get source linux-image-etc... [00:43] AuroraX: so you know what to search for [00:44] whats it mean if my usb keyboard dosent work in my other computer but works on my laptop?

[00:45] se7en: which distro ? [00:45] Well, I think it has to do with the framebuffer then. I read a lot of threads about the problem everywhere.

Lost my wifi connection after a hard reset, "enable networking" is greyed out in the nm-applet menu. What to do? I'm on a live usb stick atm.

[00:56] haha not really [00:57] http://www.dcheng.members.sonic.net/friends/jspaar/pub/bootnext/install.html Fedora have one :( [00:57] ill deal with this later, ill brb [00:57] exit [00:57] /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:57] DasEi, apparently, i asked him to apt-get linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic but he got linux-image-2.6.32-26.... what the hell? [00:57] tadcrazio: then backup to external hdd, using remastersys or clonezilla [00:57] I'm in need of assistance if anyone has the time. I have a server that's worked well in the past. Tried to install the Zyental .iso but it failed to work properly, so went back to Ubuntu Server 10.10. On boot i'm constantly faced with "DISK BOOK FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". I've tried Ubuntu Server 10.04 and it's no different. I installed a copy of Windows XP and it installed and booted correctly. I've used U [00:57] tadcrazio: or your software of choice [00:57] se7en: fix? [00:58] I should mention I'm having the same issue with the Desktop install. [00:58] @etheretic just try it out [00:58] but it should fix it [00:58] AuroraX: that's the lowest kernel image version available for 10.04 [00:58] Ken: are you trying to boot off an ISO? [00:58] Ken: check.. are you trying to boot off a USB iso [00:58] KM0201: I'm not. I've installed it onto my primary IDE drive. [00:58] aeon-ltd, thanks thats what i was going to do. i wanted to make an iso of it and then reinstall but it says there is too much. Do you now what option i use to just back up to an external harddrive in remastersys [00:58] rigved, that who? [00:58] Ken: well, first thoguht, drive is fubar [00:59] etheretic: try complete power down include unplug to fully reset all since some computer have a standby power that can leave things in unstable state without full power off reset. [00:59] AuroraX: linux-image-2.6.32-26 [00:59] KM0201: It's a relatively new drive so it *shouldn't* be. I'll try to test the integrity of it if I can, though. [00:59] sacarlson: been there,done that. [01:00] Ken: eh, you never know..t hats typically what that error means, you don't have any other disks in the machine, that might accidentally be first in the boot sequence? [01:00] etheretic: so you tried that on this already taken off power from the wall? if laptop take out the battery? [01:00] tadcrazio: no idea, keep asking here (i've never used remastersys personally) [01:00] KM0201: I checked the BIOS to ensure there was no conflict. Then I took the second drive out just in case. I even disconnected the two CD drives and the floppy. [01:00] well i'll go explore it thanks for your help [01:01] sacarlson: that, to. [01:01] Ken: removed the 2nd drive... are you on a raid by chance? [01:01] KM0201: No. Just a regular install with nothing fancy. [01:01] bbl [01:01] Ken: nono, are your two drives set up in RAID format [01:01] KM0201: Oh, no. Sorry, they're not. [01:02] KM0201: One is actually a SATA via a PCI card since this PC is a few years old. It's a new addition, though. I've only had it a week or so but it functioned fine before my reformat. [01:02] Ken: You may have a broken BIOS that only thinks a drive is bootable if it has a partition marked "active". Choose any partition (doesn't even matter which) and mark it as active and see if that changes anything. [01:02] etheretic: ok then did you try to bypass network-manager and setup on cli (command line interface)? with ifconfig, route, and edit /etc/resolv.conf? [01:02] Ken: do you have a sata controller on your motherboard, that you can plug it into just to test? [01:03] Jordan_U: Thanks, I might just try that. The BIOS is pretty old I'd imagine. [01:03] flash the bios :) [01:03] rigved, so why uname -r gives me linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic? [01:03] [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 ? [01:03] KM0201: I'm actually not sure if I do. I think so, but i'm not certain. I've removed the SATA HD. In fact, I never even thought of trying to install onto the other HD *smacks forehead* [01:04] I just don't get why it won't boot yet the Ultimate Boot CD grub2 feature will detect the installation and boot it nicely. [01:05] AuroraX: did you upgrade from an earlier version of ubuntu (as opposed to a fresh install)? [01:06] yes [01:06] AuroraX: then it seems that your kernel image has not been upgraded [01:07] rigved, why not? [01:07] rigved, is that bad? [01:07] AuroraX: did you try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade? [01:08] rigved, no [01:08] doesnt update manager notify you to dl new kernel image?

It's just a Wine wrapper script. [01:13] Dongs123: why on earth would you want to use it on Windows, let alone Ubuntu [01:13] ? [01:13] rigved, http://pastebin.com/eH4u9LSB [01:13] Dongs123, check the appdb and use via wine if you must [01:13] Dongs123: you can also run IE in seamless mode in a virtualbox but thats it running under windows [01:13] Hello,how do I set iptables to make packets going from client 1.2.3.4 to my server on port 6666 go to my server on port 7777 [01:13] people are getting very good at trolling [01:13] Dongs123: It can be done but you're clearly a masochist for wanting to [01:13] these questions are borderline ridiculous...

[01:17] craigbass1976: sendmail is basically an MTA, sounds like it might be what you need [01:17] R1cochet: it i really awesome.. i like it a lot, and i was an avid FF user for a long long time [01:17] been using it a little bit lately and really like it a lot [01:17] on FF atm [01:17] Dongs123, you may want to use Lynx [01:17] will make full switch soon [01:17] Alan502: yes, you can use the ID to find guides. I also suggest you install jscalibrator or whatever its called [01:17] AuroraX: sorry, was trapped by some load here, you're still at compiling module ? [01:17] Dongs123, its really quite simple. [01:17] ejv, or postfix. I was more wondering if I'm going to be able to do it without the server having a host name [01:17] R1cochet: i thik Chrome's adblock is superior to FF's... [01:17] gnumerous: I have 10 gb swap and 4 gb ram, but someone told me it was way 2 much. shall I shrink it to 6 gb? [01:18] ActionParsnip, I have already [01:18] craigbass1976: you mean assigned by some DNS? yea should be fine, just specify IP directly [01:18] ejv, it's just a home setup on DSL with dynamic ip addresses [01:18] rigved, http://pastebin.com/eH4u9LSB here's the file you asked [01:18] afroman: you only need 4Gb swap [01:18] DasEi, Yes [01:18] just now , i select F6 Option edd=on .. i can see the installation process window , clicked on Try Kubuntu .. stuck there. not again !

I am running Ubuntu on a remote server, it has an NTFS drive mounted in it, I needed to remote reboot it but it did not come up after a few minutes, waited another hour and still not up, apparently, come to find out, it is on a screen that says that the NTFS drive that is auto-mounted in fstab did not come up and says press s to continue, well I cannot do that remotely (and cannot drive out there for a while yet), any t [01:19] AuroraX: i read it. it seems to be fine. do you get any errors when you try to upgrade? [01:19] yeah you need to change lucid to the current one [01:19] craigbass1976: check this out: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apt-get-apticron-send-email-upgrades-available/ perhaps you can tweak this setup to your issue. [01:19] detrix: from the web use smoething like imageshack etc [01:19] when I launch a program, I used to see its tab in the toolbar at bottom, now it is a bubble/egg in top toolbar?

[01:20] AuroraX: also possible right sources are just in the git [01:20] R1cochet, Hello again :) .. i got the nVidia Geforce 8200M G , on the LG E300. [01:20] afroman: if you have a lot of drive space (like 1Tb overall) then i'd just leave it, a few Gb flapping around is fairly worthless [01:20] So I installed 10.10 on my laptop, the intel gfx is painfully flow, glxgears gets 21 fps full screen, anything I can do for better performance? [01:20] ejv, OR, if there's a way for the box in question to update dyndns.org (or something similar) on it's own, there'd be no need for mail [01:20] Sary were you able to install normal ubuntu? the gnome version? [01:20] ActionParsnip: another question, shall I shrink it directly from Ubuntu or shall I use ubuntu cd live? [01:21] ActionParsnip: not quite what I am wanting. Its just some doc files that are available for those that want them. not images. [01:21] ActionParsnip: a few Gb "flapping around"... i'd bet something is wrong w/ that drive [01:21] R1cochet, I faced the same issue " stuck at that Window. [01:21] ActionParsnip: I'm afraid that if I use ubuntu in the box, it might f**** the whole system or something [01:21] KM0201: it's a 10 gb swap just [01:21] Hello all... [01:22] ah i cant install itunes to sync my ipod [01:22] are you booting livecd or trying to run from w/in windows?

[01:22] thx [01:22] i installed a program but i cant find it [01:22] or you can try replacing all "lucid" to "maverick" [01:22] Anyone here have a problem with Brasero crashing when you try to copy an audio CD to an image? [01:22] hcj what are you trying to do w/ it? [01:22] then do an update [01:22] DasEi, i've installed using the apt-get source [01:23] afroman: it won't, you'll just be able to use a tonne more ram as it can be paged :) [01:23] a7i3n i have had some issues w/ brasero [01:23] i tried the Ubuntu netbook version = Gnome. , al though i tested those iso's on a Dell Laptop .. things went well over there.

[01:23] Seems to be an issue with a library mis-identification... [01:23] netbook uses ubiquity [01:24] i have no experience w/ the netbook version. that may be why your having issues [01:24] afroman: if your disk is big enough, just leave it, else have to unmount swap before resizing [01:24] detrix: if you install openssh-server you will be able to use sshfs on the web too if you want as it is secure :) [01:24] you should be able to use the normal livecd on a flashdrive just fine tho [01:24] imo i would go w/ the normal version [01:25] !xev [01:25] ActionParsnip, xev doesn't capture joystick events, right? [01:25] KM0201: well if yuo have 1000Gb to play with and you are wasting 6 then its not a huge worry [01:25] ActionParsnip: lol, i totally agree, i just thought it was funny how you put it [01:25] craigbass1976: use a tomato router ;) [01:25] Alan502: it shows all inputs [01:26] ActionParsnip, are joypads an input? [01:26] ActionParsnip: I am setting up a web page for anyone (in our church) to get to the files. window/mac/linux. I have ssh and all that. [01:26] craigbass1976: or maybe ddclient [01:26] afroman: size of disk ? [01:26] ActionParsnip, yes right, cause it's in /dev/input/js0.... [01:26] craigbass1976: DDclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for accounts on Dynamic DNS Network Services' free DNS service. [01:26] detrix: could use samba, it is accessible by all [01:26] ActionParsnip, but i don't see any of my joystick events? although jscalibrator detects it and all [01:26] ejv, I found... ahh you beat me to it.

[01:37] Dongs123, what di you install? [01:37] did* [01:37] AuroraX: we seem to have lost.. now whole story is you don't want to install a certain module from the sources, but follow a hinting tut to write a devicedriver and haven't compiled at all..

[01:40] linux is nothing like windows, i hered it was similar [01:40] DasEi, do i really need all this to go trought that tutorial i linked you? [01:40] AuroraX: git-administration and libraries and... really I think you do an overdrive [01:40] its morelike a mac if anything [01:40] meekwarrior yeah, over 200 updates - i'll be about 10 minutes. [01:40] Dongs123: whoever told you that lied.. [01:40] meekwarrior, dont say shit like that. [01:40] haha [01:41] how do i kill a process? [01:41] pkill [01:41] Hey, I'm thinking about using Ubuntu, does it has Japanese charecter support? [01:41] Dongs123, what are you wanting to use aircrack for? Did you compile it from source? [01:41] or do I have to use aJap. Version? [01:41] systemg33k: you can pres ALT+F2 and run xkill then click the app to kill it [01:41] or use system montier [01:41] how do i get a list of process names? [01:41] AuroraX: if you're up to do a devicedriver, maybe need some reading, apt-cache show PaketName tells you about it [01:41] i want to test the security on my router [01:41] ps -u [01:41] Hey, I'm thinking about using Ubuntu, does it has Japanese character support? [01:41] systemg33k: or you can run: ps -ef | grep appname then run: kill -9 PID PID will be the leftmost number [01:41] id get backtrack 4 dongle [01:42] Xev doesn't capture my joypad events. Is it even possible? [01:42] LovePlus: yupp [01:42] Dongs123: aircrack-ng is a command-line application. you're not going to be able to do anything useful with it until you're more experienced with Linux. Trust me on this [01:42] oh so its not GUI [01:42] last time, i couldn't find it, then I went back to ChromeOS, DasEi [01:42] LovePlus: install the japanese language pack and then set the keyboard layout to a japanese keyboard. that's all that [01:42] ***windows, not ChromeOS. lol [01:42] where do I get it [01:42] *is required ^^ [01:43] is anyone here good with ansi c [01:43] i have a quick questoin [01:43] Dongs123: search for gui for aircrack linux [01:43] histo, hey bud wanna help me out with that partitioning [01:43] Dongs123: there is a gui application for it somewhere i saw yesterday [01:43] LovePlus: language-support-ja [01:43] histo im have a problem [01:43] why need a gui, it may not allow you to enable / disable all the options [01:43] is there a way to run linux apps within windows ? [01:43] systemg33k, ever think that if the guy isnt smart enough to find an installed program, he probably shouldnt run aircrack? [01:43] i think tht wuld suite me more [01:44] Dongs123: you can find a windows port [01:44] vmware [01:44] basicly [01:44] Dongs123: hardly, in a vm [01:44] systemg33k, he just made my point....

[01:44] hey guys, i just installled ubuntu and i was wondering what the best anti-virus software was. i downloaded norton becauase thats what i always used with windows but i can't get it to install. is there something i need to do to get norton to work with ubuntu? [01:44] Dongs123: or if you connect to an SSH server with x forwarding, the app can appear on the desktop but will really be running on the remote system [01:44] ActionParsnip, youve helped me with a few things would you by chance know anything about dual booting and partitioning ? [01:44] lol [01:44] ChrosHonson: there is no single best anything in life [01:44] ChrosHonson: so there is no single best AV [01:45] ChrosHonson you dont really need one in ubuntu [01:45] but what will i do about viruses? [01:45] ChrosHonson: goddomot fronk [01:45] ChrosHonson: Norton is for Windows, there are open source AV solutions on the repos [01:45] DasEi, your pvt bot is messing me up [01:45] AuroraX: stop pm'ing me, please, and see sentry [01:45] !virus | ChrosHonson [01:45] Unless you are running an MTA and want to filter for Windows hosts ActionParsnip [01:45] ChrosHonson: 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 [01:45] "enable networking" still greyed out. [01:45] ChrosHonson: Wo dont yo hove o sot ovor thor. [01:45] !pm > AuroraX [01:45] AuroraX, please see my private message [01:45] himuraken_: some users like to have it running for piece of mind [01:46] ActionParsnip, are you kidding me? [01:46] mikel: English please [01:46] himuraken_: no, why is it so outrageous? [01:46] just like to say to all ubuntu volunteers and members, I appreciate the hardwork you do, you're all all-stars, thanks [01:46] how to create a secured user and its ftp account ? [01:46] If and this is far out, you could run Norton on Linux, why would you? and it would just break wine [01:46] under ssh [01:46] himuraken_: like I said, it is a windows app, but there are opensource solutions on the repos.. [01:46] Cha0s2358, sent you a pm [01:46] DasEi, i used the cache command, no useful info was given by apt [01:46] DasEi, look, http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux?page=0,1 [01:47] IdleOne: That was english, only with all the vowels switched to o. Our friend Chros is clearly visiting from /b/ [01:47] rocktop: System>admin>user group>add [01:47] well i got rid of my windows so i could learn linux, but my friend told me that i better get an anti-virus because linux has a lot of viruses. also i want to make sure i get norton working before i install quickbooks because i run a small business and i heard linux was better for businesses [01:47] nit-wit, replying [01:47] ActionParsnip, I understand, but overmymudkips I would not run Norton. [01:47] DasEi, for that tutorial i need this «Since the release of kernel version 2.6.x, compiling modules has become slightly more complicated. First, you need to have a complete, compiled kernel source-code-tree. If you have a Debian Sarge system, you can follow the steps in Appendix B (towards the end of this article). In the following, I’ll assume that a kernel version 2.6.8 is being used.» [01:47] ChrosHonson: tell your friend s/he knows nothing [01:47] sacarlson, under ssh [01:47] http://pastebin.com/NsvXMGZn [01:47] mikel: stop trolling the trolls, makes it easier for me to not ban you. [01:47] AuroraX: again, this is behind my scope here, and I doubt you even worked through the link I gave you [01:47] can anyone find anything wrong with this http://pastebin.com/NsvXMGZn [01:47] DasEi, just that, nothing more, i dont want to hack the kernel that much for today :/ [01:47] rocktop: apt-get install ssh if you didn't already do that [01:48] ok :( [01:48] Wifi is kaput, and "enable networking" is greyed out after a hard reset. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't work. [01:48] ChrosHonson: read the link ubottu gave, there are less than a handful of linux 'viruses' none are wild and are made in labs to test stuff, you neededn't worry. Just use Ubuntu as it is supposed to be and it'll be fine [01:48] sacarlson, I am now in ssh [01:48] DasEi, i made the 2 of 3 commands you gave on that link, the 3rd one asks me to download 800mb :O [01:48] ok can you help me install quickbooks? im sorry im really new at this [01:48] etheretic: run: sudo lshw -C network and websearch for the product line in the output to find guides [01:48] rocktop: so it must work then [01:48] I heard the FBI gave everyone who was using a linux a virus yesterday!? [01:49] Srin, negative that was freebsd. [01:49] ChrosHonson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963922 [01:49] i think the linux i downloaded is a bad rip [01:49] where would the best place to buy it be [01:49] Srin: source please? [01:49] Dongs123: just pirate your linux again [01:49] rocktop: oh you want the cli method to create a user maybe try man adduser [01:49] http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/12/fbi-accused-of-planting-backdoor-in-openbsd-ipsec-stack.ars [01:49] Srin, I meant openbsd [01:49] etheretic, im out of ideas :( [01:49] I don't want anyone putting anything in my backdoor... [01:49] Srin, offtopic here [01:49] Dongs123: you can use MD5 testing to test the ISO you downloaded [01:49] Dongs123: it's unlikely a bad rip, if it installed properly.... what exact problem are you having? [01:49] if i went to a PC store would they have ubuntu ? [01:49] ActionParsnip: i'll try that, bb soonish. [01:49] AuroraX: I have no problem in helping as I can, if you want to write a devicedriver, I can guide you the direction, but you will have to read more than I can type [01:50] Dongs123: very unlikely.... [01:50] is there a channel for ubuntu server [01:50] there are _rumors_ that there's a backdoor in the bsd ssl code [01:50] !md5 | Dongs123 [01:50] Dongs123: 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 [01:50] well it slows down and my cd drive spins up [01:50] Dongs123: they may have a CD you can copy from them for the cost of the disk [01:50] its really slow also [01:50] DasEi, what do you mean by that? [01:50] instabin: #ubunut-server [01:50] DasEi: thank you [01:50] instabin: #ubuntu-server * [01:50] Dongs123: what version of ubuntu did you download?... [01:50] rocktop: there is also useradd so man useradd I"m not sure that the difference is [01:50] live something [01:50] it seemd to install fine tho [01:51] thanks ActionParsnip...that should help a lot. i have another question actually. i need to use outlook to get all of my emails, is there a version of outlook for ubuntu? [01:51] 'live something'.. well there's an explanation if i ever heard one [01:51] actually the whole office program would be good [01:51] hi every body somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving in the bottom directly [01:51] not on my windows machine [01:51] Greetings. I am running Ubuntu on a remote server, it has an NTFS drive mounted in it, I needed to remote reboot it but it did not come up after a few minutes, waited another hour and still not up, apparently, come to find out, it is on a screen that says that the NTFS drive that is auto-mounted in fstab did not come up and says press s to continue, well I cannot do that remotely (and cannot drive out there for a while yet), any t [01:51] I was trying some stuff from a repository. how do I rollback? [01:51] ChrosHonson: you can use evolution or thunderbird or any of the many email clients, you need to let go of the windows apron strings dude [01:52] ubottu, whats the image site [01:52] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:52] m_tadeu: well, that depends on what the repository did.... you can uninstall the apps, and remove the repo. [01:52] !screenshot | nit-wit [01:52] nit-wit: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [01:52] ActionParsnip, what do you mean by thunderbird? [01:52] ChrosHonson: I think OpenOrifice can help you. [01:52] whats a live cd ? [01:52] AuroraX: do the needed pre-setup and ask for people writing device-drivers, behind my scope in here [01:52] ChrosHonson, if you must run those apps, you may want to try wine, or crossover office [01:52] Srin, stop that [01:52] Srin: Please stop. [01:52] thanks srin ill google openorifice now [01:52] Just double check and make sure your copy of OpenOrifice doesn't have any open backdoors. [01:52] overmind: in your fstab make use of the "errors" option to deal with failed mounts [01:53] OvermindDL1: can't you get your momy to do it? without a serial console or something connected I can't think of anything [01:53] thanks IdleOne [01:53] Enough of the trolls [01:53] what the heck i googled for openorifice and it led me to a porn site. just what kind of sick people are you linux users? [01:53] ChrosHonson, you should really switch to open apps, and ignore that guy [01:54] DasEi, i dont get it, anyway im installing that huge 800mb of your 3rd line "sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev" [01:54] Is anyone aware of a WMI client for ubuntu 10.04?\ [01:54] tgp1994: what's WMI? [01:54] hi every body somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving button directly [01:54] ActionParsnip: Windows Management Instrumentation. There's a client for ubuntu 9~, but from what I can tell, it wasn't carried over past that. [01:55] KM0201: it was the beta version of kde...not an application that I can just remove [01:55] m_tadeu: good luck. :) [01:55] KM0201: hehe thanx [01:55] aurora, 800mb? wow. [01:56] yes... [01:56] tgp1994: could try a java client maybe, i see it in the hardy repo [01:56] i just wanna make a simple device driver, but kernel borucracy doesnt let me :'( [01:57] hi everybody pls somebody can help with ubuntu, sometimes i click menu and nothing write and nothing i have to restart giving button directly [01:57] r0z4: does the click work elsewhere [01:57] ActionParsnip: Ya, I saw it in the hardy repo too :\ Is Java the only option right now? [01:57] AuroraX: that's a too advanced task for this channel, #ubuntu-kernel and #ubuntu-devel are there, but maybe you should do some research before on your own [01:57] tgp1994: could try the hardy deb maybe [01:57] ActionParsnip: Alright, I'll give it a shot, thanks./ [01:57] tgp1994: if not, use a java client is all I can suggest [01:58] i did that one when i had 2.4 kernel [01:58] DasEi, completing this requirement is to hard? «Since the release of kernel version 2.6.x, compiling modules has become slightly more complicated.

[02:14] Ya I want a seperate program. [02:14] as said, streamtuner, amarok, audacious, many players can read stream [02:14] -.- [02:14] I want to uninstall the nvidia drivers and go back to the ones installed with ubuntu 10.10 how do I do this? [02:15] Who has activated this check ? [02:15] systemg33k: or even winamp , if you're after the urls just [02:15] birdinatux: use the hardware tool and disable the driver [02:15] DasEi: ya i was hoping i'd find a certain HD2 radio station that's on Foxytunes(Yahoo messenger plugin). No luck. [02:16] ActionParsnip: I have become a chromium user now :>) [02:16] systemg33k: no homepage with a link provided ? [02:16] Chromium! [02:16] itaylor57: nice :) [02:16] DasEi: Homepage for original radio station not the HD2 station [02:16] ActionParsnip: do you use chromium, or the chrome you download from Google?(I dont see much difference) [02:16] @ops: Who has activated this Floodbot to kick users and force them to register or answer a question ? [02:16] DasEi: too much talk on the original station [02:16] my problem doesnt have solution??? i cant mix it!!! plsssssss [02:17] sbeck_: it's becuase you get kicked and autosign back in [02:17] KM0201: i use chromium daily build via ppa [02:17] i see [02:17] I appreciated that I didn't have to register. [02:17] But if I'm forced to register I'll goo. [02:17] go [02:17] sbeck_: registering is free, and takes like 5ssec [02:17] But it's not necessary. [02:18] is there any reason not to do an upgrade by editing apt's sources.list then doing a simple update && dist-upgrade? [02:18] KM0201: as well as arora for quick and dirty stuff [02:18] Why should I do ? [02:18] lol [02:18] KM0201: and you get 100% off of the cost of unbuntu when you register [02:18] sbeck_: well, it's not necessary no.. but if you do, you won't get the questino you're complaining about. [02:18] eternicode: no, that's the common way [02:18] Im such noobchowder [02:18] KM0201, it doesn't give me a adbvantage but I have to use another account.

I also can't see why you suddenly activated ths check. But if you want to keep it activated so I'll have to register OR answer a question I'll go.

[02:31] is there an empathy support channel? [02:31] #empathy ? [02:31] jmad980: oh i thought you were still running ubuntu... what are you running? [02:31] KM0201: arch which is why I have a newer kernel, might be able to try a newer one in ubuntu but it might not be worth the effort [02:32] Hi, is there a Ubuntu server support channel? [02:32] hmm [02:32] Sophia, yes - #ubuntu-server [02:32] thank you [02:32] Anybody have any trouble with that Super OS ubuntu 10.10?, I am gonna try do do an install of it.. [02:33] weside, its not supported here thus offtopic [02:33] ?, it is ubuntu related is it not? [02:33] weside, if you are referring to the former ubuntu ultimate === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [02:34] weside, a derivative, so not official, thus not supported [02:34] how do I make evolution download and show all images all the time? [02:34] oic [02:34] superos is a derivate, not the surface, but goes in direction of mint [02:35] HELLO [02:35] weside: can pm me if questions [02:35] wifi is not working, "enable networking" is greyed out after a hard reset. /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't work. what to do? === leon is now known as Guest91181 [02:35] ok, got an issue with an older laptop [02:35] thanks [02:36] hello [02:36] can't get it to boot from the CDrom, and bios doesn't support flash drive booting [02:36] etheretic: well, what is your wireless device, is a good place to start [02:36] any other way to install ubuntu? Network, or floppy boot then install? [02:36] KrashKing: can you pull the drive ? [02:37] 2nd drive [02:37] KM0201: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/545130/ [02:37] disc works on other comps [02:37] KrashKing: so install a minimal system on another box [02:37] how do I make evolution download and show all images all the time? [02:37] etheretic: that atheros device should work out of the box.... what verison of ubuntu are you using? [02:38] I run Ubuntu 10.04 *32 on a VPS and suddently get segemtation fault when i run ap-get update or any other software. sudo rm -vf /var/cache/apt/*.bin, apt-get clean , did not resolve this issue [02:38] DasEi: there a minimal floppy verision I can get? [02:38] KrashKing, you can netboot but it tends to be a pain in the arse [02:38] KrashKing: just make sure using generic kernel, so get all, not just the particular needed ones [02:38] KM0201: 10.10 - it worked fine b4 the hard reset (had a lockup/freeze) [02:39] etheretic: well, try powering down, off for 10sec, power back up [02:39] okay i do have a general ubuntu question, I am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop, and yeah, when i am at the sreen preparing to install ubuntu, with the check list of things, hit the forward button, and it hangs up?, any suggestion?.. [02:39] KrashKing: no, can go with minimal or alternate cd on a different box then the lappi is, with it's hd hooked up there; maybe pull the other drives then, for failsafe [02:39] I'm running 10.04 and I periodically have a problem where I am unable to alt-tab or switch to a window by clicking. I'm sometimes unable to manipulate the apparent current window by clicking either. I have visual effects off and my mouse is fine. If I restart X, things work again. [02:40] KM0201: done that - unplugged and removed battery as well (laptop). [02:40] no other comp that would use the drive [02:40] amd a SOL? [02:40] err [02:40] am I [02:40] goodness sopmeone with a beefy ubuntu isntall can they do a "du -h /lib" ? [02:40] KrashKing: can you free the hd from the lappi ? [02:41] i want to confirm is arround 15m [02:41] yeah [02:41] etheretic: i really don't know, doesn't make much sense [02:41] dmiles_afk, mines 183M /lib - but it's going to depend on what is installed! [02:41] dmiles_afk: 389MB [02:41] just no other comp that I have can use a laptop HDD [02:41] i have gotten to ubuntu computers to connect together via ssh but when i restart the computers i have to reenter the ip addresses. Is there anyway for them to automatically connect? [02:41] etheretic: but i have had that happen before, and usually poweering down, then back up, worked fine.. but it was ages ago that it happened [02:41] thethinker: go to prefrerences mail html and click download images always [02:41] What is the quickest way to tell if I have a backdoor on my Ubuntu box? [02:42] ok thanks you guys .. i see [02:42] KM0201: yes. but this doesn't seem to go away by itself. [02:42] so even after i get the machine booting again means i have to reinastall with apt-get about everyhting [02:42] steiner: you could add the box to /etc/hosts ::IP HOSTNAME and use ssh HOSTNAME [02:42] !who | KrashKing [02:43] KrashKing: 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 :) [02:43] (i acidently "rm -rf lib") tryio to kill "rm -rf ~/lib" [02:43] MarkSS, you probably don't! but from a terminal run "apt-cache search rootkit" and see some root kit scan tools in the default install. best of luck. it's highly unlikely you would get something remotely (but not impossible) [02:43] KrashKing: there are real cheap adaptors [02:43] dmiles_afk: D: [02:43] frdsgdf [02:43] Ola [02:43] DasEi: can the older versions [6.x] upgrade to the new 10? [02:43] * dmiles_afk goes back to setitng up the expwerment machibne to break/fix.. so i can try to fix the real machine [02:44] dmiles_afk: about 500meg on a semi-beefy [02:44] KM0201: ubuntu leaves something to be desired re. wifi - far too easy to mess up. [02:44] i cant find an apt-get for myphpadmin.. wanting to see after i rm -rf /lib that i can restore [02:45] oh for ubunto 9.10 [02:45] KrashKing: could, if you are free of time, nah better do a fresh install, though lts.. 8.04 to 10.04 works, not sure 6.04 [02:45] etheretic: wifi is always problematic [02:45] etheretic: eh... i've used Ubuntu(and other linux distros) for years, and my wireless has usually only broke while using Beta's. [02:45] etheretic: just because it happens to you, doesn't mean it's a huge massive problem [02:45] * jmad980 hasn't had problems with wifi in the last 3 years [02:45] well... sorta [02:45] ;) [02:45] itaylor57: i disagree.. most o them are fairly easy to set up, if they are not the "latest greatest" [02:46] etheretic: just my fios router not ubuntu [02:46] ahh [02:46] KM0201: i mean it's way to go b4 it's granny-friendly. shouldn't have to be a nerd to use it. [02:47] etheretic, so file a bug. it's the possibility of contributing that makes open source great. [02:47] etheretic: naa...not at all... if my parents can use it, anyone can [02:47] bastidrazor: i found the file but how exactly do i add it? [02:47] etheretic: if manufacturers would release easy to install Drivers for Linux, maybe even put them on a CD(like a certain Redmond OS)... then when this stuff happens, you can simply reinstall the driver. [02:47] KM0201: I meant the above to you its the old verizon fios router that is problematic [02:48] KM0201: s/use/administrate. [02:48] can someone help me with creating a ubuntu live cd? [02:48] etheretic: i administrate it from my house...lol [02:48] MisterAnderson: using WIndows? [02:48] for a mac [02:49] http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060619181010389 [02:49] KM0201: doing a fresh install to a 2nd partition - see how that goes. [02:49] MisterAnderson, i've never done it but see the !remaster factoid. good luck. [02:49] I tried doing what the official site said but it didn't work [02:49] steiner: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts then at the the bottom add the IP HOSTNAME .. example: 192.168.0.108 servitude : now i can type ssh servitude and it goes to that ip [02:49] What good is a ubuntu live cd if you can't see [02:49] etheretic: who knows.. [02:49] hi [02:49] MisterAnderson, mac adds another dimension i have no experience with! [02:50] MisterAnderson: is it an intel mac? [02:50] KM0201: yes [02:50] then what is the problem?.. you don't know how to burn the ISO, or you don't know how to boot it, or what [02:51] well, let me read through this guide, give it another shot, and then i'll come back [02:51] ZykoticK9: You're burning it FROM a Mac? [02:51] MisterAnderson: sweet nick dude :) [02:51] MisterAnderson: i'm not a Mac guy... but it's pretty clear [02:51] prolly a key combination or something to boot from disk [02:51] ActionParsnip: yeah I can't believe it wasn't taken [02:51] KM0201: I tried to use Darwin on a PPC, thats why I am here on a Lemur Ultrathin from System76, and it rocks [02:52] ActionParsnip: where do i file an empathy bug? [02:52] hmm [02:52] MisterAnderson: surely you need a mic too for when you enter ;) [02:52] KM0201: Actually I remember now, it wasn't booting up with it [02:52] jasonmchristos: in a terminal run: ubuntu-bug empathy [02:52] jasonmchristos, "ubuntu-bug empathy" [02:53] Okay, back again with that " stuck window " situation , but this time with "Ubuntu-gnome" Livecd , not again.

[02:53] etheretic: well, it's plenty reliable, and it's pretty user friendly... [02:54] Definitely , a driver related issue! [02:54] when you click no to friend request using empathy on yahoo it comes up everytime you login still [02:54] MisterAnderson: press and hold C on poweron to boot from cd [02:54] * Sary out of thoughts. [02:54] I've been unable to boot 10.4 LTS on a laptop since I changed the resolution of the splash screen. I keep getting a recovery menu. It pops up near the end of the boot cycle whether or not I choose a recovery option from the boot menu, or even whether or not I have the recovery options disabled in the bootup defaults. [02:54] etheretic: the biggest issue, is manufacturers do not support Linux(usually) so unlike windows, where when you buy a new PC, all the hardware has a specific windows driver, to make it work... and manufactuerers frequently update those drivers on their site. [02:54] bastidrazor: is there a way to automatically connect for file sharing and printing? i added it but it seems like tis only for accesing its terminal [02:55] etheretic: my point is, it's not a Linux issue at all, it's a manufacturer issue.. if every manufacturer released a CD w/ Linux drivers on it, and instructions how to install them... this would likely be one empty channel [02:55] KM0201, Very true , mu situation is an example. :D [02:55] Sary: thats my point, it's not a linux issue at all. [02:56] people blame it on linux, but it's not a linux issue [02:56] Exactly. [02:56] Sary: etheretic truth be told... th fact that anything at all works w/ Linux, when there is very little development support from manufacturers, is a miracle [02:56] well use open hardware then [02:56] companys arent in business to support linux [02:56] thats extra cost [02:57] Sargun, KM0201 jasonmchristos no longer a support issue. getting OT [02:57] jasonmchristos: i'm not disputing that.. it's just he's blaming linux, and it's not linux that is the problem. [02:57] i hate it when they thought it's a "Linux" issue.! [02:57] What program does GNOME use as a clipboard? Is their a default plain old Linux clipboard. Why does KDE have a Clipboard application. [02:57] KM0201: Linux is very supported by a few of the big hitters in the industry dude [02:57] snake: you can install parcelite or glipper [02:57] ZykoticK9: OT? [02:57] ActionParsnip: "a few".... Where as windows is supported "by all"... thats my only point... i'll let it go now, cuz it's drifting [02:57] KM0201: getting there. :-) but it's not quite there yet. Bringing in an easy-to-use backup/system restore (only good function windos has which ubuntu doesn't) would be a major point. [02:58] etheretic: there's an app for that [02:58] im going back to commador 64 [02:58] snake, there are more then one clipboard in gnome. it's a mess in many ways. good luck with clipboard issues - i've banged my head on multiple occasions. [02:58] steiner: oh, i misunderstood the original question. this is what you're looking for. :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [02:58] !backup | etheretic [02:58] etheretic: There are many ways to back your system up.

[02:59] Etheretic: type backup in the package menu [02:59] This appears to be a "ubuntu only" behavior. [02:59] steiner: that page will give show you how to have a directory shared across your local network [03:00] stormzen: shift key slightly presed? partitions need fsck-ing? [03:00] * Sary will do whatever it takes to run Ubuntu/Linux on that LG Notbook. [03:00] I'm running 10.04 and I periodically have a problem where I am unable to alt-tab or switch to a window by clicking. I'm sometimes unable to manipulate the apparent current window by clicking either. I have visual effects off and my mouse is fine. If I restart X, things work again. Can anyone advise? [03:00] bastidrazor: thanks ill check it out [03:00] ActionParsnip, The 'recovery menu' pops up when partitions need fscking? I thought it just popped up a message saying that it needed to be done. [03:00] KM0201: sbacp, backintime? too quirky. tried restoring re. the wifi/nm issue, it complained about wrong version or something. [03:00] stormzen: not sure but its an intelligent guess [03:01] ActionParsnip, I'm referring the menu that says "recovery menu" on a clear screen with a blue background. [03:01] papna: i'd ask in #compiz if compiz is causing you issues [03:02] ActionParsnip: I have visual effects off. I'm running metacity. As far as I can tell, I'm not using compiz at all. [03:02] papna: oh, the way it flowed sounded like you had them on then switched them off to get righted [03:02] papna, how often is "periodically" exactly? is it when you are running something previously, a game perhaps? it's strange that you are experiencing it with effects off. but i have no suggestions... good luck. [03:02] ActionParsnip: No. It has been off all along. [03:02] nit-wti [03:02] nit-wit [03:02] ActionParsnip, I don't understand why it keeps popping up. I'm trying to get the system to a "known good" since I had the issue after changing my splash screen resolution.. so I uninstalled everything desktop that I could think of. ... but now that damned menu is interfering with me seeing other error messages. [03:03] ZykoticK9: It has happened four or five times since it started like 3 weeks ago. [03:03] stormzen: i'd run: dmesg | less and see whats going on with the boot [03:03] * Sary thinking about installing an older version of Ubuntu , then upgrading. [03:04] ActionParsnip, I did look at the end of dmesg... I don't remember seeing anything helpful. [03:04] Sary: that has more potential for disaster if you ask me [03:04] how do i fix this? ata2.00: SRST failed (errno=-16) , exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [03:04] ZykoticK9: I don't play any games. I did a hard reboot today and it was happening when everything came up, but worked when I restarted X. [03:04] papna, if the problem isn't persistent it difficult to diagnose and you don't know if it's fixed... best of luck. [03:05] ZykoticK9: I haven't changed anything, so if it stops, I'd hardly call that fixing anything. [03:05] I can't seem to boot the laptop at all, except for single user mode. [03:05] ZykoticK9: Oh well, if this isn't a recognizable problem *shrug* [03:05] KM0201, think so , how about Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)! [03:06] how do i fix this? ata2.00: SRST failed (errno=-16) , exception Emask 0x0 Sact 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [03:06] Sary: why on earth would you do that?.. jaunty is EOL [03:06] ... And then it takes me straight into the "recovery menu", erasing the screen so I can't see the last prompt that fails right before the menu shows. [03:06] papna, i'd like to help - but can't... i wasn't trying to be rude. === bjames is now known as Guest98957 [03:06] bjames, ola [03:06] guest98957, ola [03:07] KM0201, don't know , just a though , i was looking here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia [03:08] Also, I tried googling "Recovery Menu", but those keywords are not very specific... [03:08] Sary: well what video card do you have? [03:08] KM0201, nVidia Geforce 8200M G , on that LG E300. [03:09] stormzen, what is "recovery menu"? do you mean at the grub prompt? [03:09] hmm [03:09] Sary: so i take it the restricted driver dosn't work? [03:09] I know , it's not listed there .. [03:09] Has anybody been able to run vmware on Maverick? [03:10] I started it after upgrading just now [03:10] and it can't find the C headers [03:10] I can't find a solution [03:10] KM0201, i can't reach to that point , as i'm stuck on the installation Window from the LiveCD. [03:10] ZykoticK9, It just says "Recovery Menu". Options are "resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, grub, netroot, and root" ... as far as I can tell, it is not related to grub.

[03:12] DasEi: I did both those commands [03:12] Sary: eh... i cannever get USB stick to work w/ the alt CD [03:12] ZykoticK9, Yeah, me either.

[03:20] does any one know were to get sound drivers for ubuntu [03:20] Sary: no, i mean the laptop... if one pc can boot the usb, and another can't, then the problem is the laptop. [03:20] loquitus, i like vbox a lot more then vmware that's for sure. [03:20] Sary: well, i have a laptop that gives me a very similar problem, and i can tell you what i done, but depending on the stuff you might have handy, it may not be an option [03:21] strange thing is, the USB works fine when Ubuntu is installed. === sud0 is now known as fdfdfd === fdfdfd is now known as sud0 === quiesense is now known as quiescens [03:21] loquitus, you can even run compiz (poorly) in vbox, which seems currently impossible with vmware. === sud0 is now known as Linux [03:22] <]grimm[> Can someone here help me configure gnome tooltips to have rounded corners? [03:22] Hi. [03:22] loquitus: on your very own risk, as I don't know the source : http://tinyurl.com/2dg4tzl === Linux is now known as sud0 [03:22] ..would be nice to be tested in a vm first, hehhe [03:23] im running a dell inspiron 1200 laptop with a dell wlan 1350 network card, the card isnt recognized under my network configuration, when i run lspci i can see the card listed, iwconfig appears to show the card as well, how do i get the network connections to recognize it [03:24] I'm just trying to get my card to connect to my router. iwconfnig shows the card. But dhclient will not grab a ip. And there is no encryption. [03:24] Sony Viao , ubuntu 10.10 - no sound :( although the audio output level does flicker when audio is played [03:24] This is also ubuntu server 10.10. [03:25] Auckla: no bad firewall ? can ping the router ? [03:25] loquitus, DasEi i notice that link you gave is to a different version of the one i have tried in my origional pastebin. this is the v2, which might be even better. [03:26] DasEi: No, I'm just trying to get the machine to grab a ip and get online. [03:26] fresh 10.04 load btw === S-y-n-e-r-g-y is now known as AntiCensor [03:26] DasEi:I'm pretty sure it is reconized. Or the card is detected for that matter. [03:26] loquitus: If there is no certain need for vmware, use vbox, it's fine [03:26] DasEi: This is a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 server install. [03:26] loquitus: I guess they will fix their installer later on [03:27] who will save me from the dreaded "stuck clock" bug? who? [03:27] dw-, do you have the bug number? [03:27] Auckla: check /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolve.conf, also sudo ping 111.IP.of.router.here [03:27] ZykoticK9: no..... the clock gets stuck, falling behind a few hours now and then [03:28] ZykoticK9: just the display on the toolbar [03:28] Wow the #windows Ops have lost their fcking minds. First they make you register, then after you go through all that crap, it tells you : "Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited" [03:28] loquitus: also can convert vmdk to vdi [03:28] dw-, might be related to Bug 520176 - i guess it is a bug. [03:28] HATS OFF TO THE #WINDOWS OPS... [03:28] AntiCensor: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. [03:28] ZykoticK9: great.. [03:28] ZykoticK9: ima buy ubuntu a flyswatter [03:29] AntiCensor: nah, calm down.. [03:29] wrong server [03:29] dw-, are you using dual displays? [03:29] ZykoticK9: no [03:29] dw-, is it gnome, or system clock? [03:29] wrong server? [03:29] ZykoticK9: 10.10, Clock v2.30.2 [03:29] AntiCensor: you need to identify it sounds like [03:29] bast what do you mean? [03:29] I'm registered etc [03:29] DasEi: Interfaces is only listing my eth0. [03:30] why are these morons blocking people from getting into their help channel? [03:30] AntiCensor: /msg nickserv identify yourpassword [03:30] dw-, from a terminal does "date" work? [03:30] bast I did that and then it said the channel is invite only? [03:30] ZykoticK9: when i click the time and expand the toolbar the clock is ok at the bottom, where it says my city.. for weather but the toolbar one is stuck [03:30] ZykoticK9: yep [03:30] AntiCensor: i just joined ##windows with no invite. [03:30] im running a dell inspiron 1200 laptop with a dell wlan 1350 network card, the card isnt recognized under my network configuration, when i run lspci i can see the card listed, iwconfig appears to show the card as well, how do i get the network connections to recognize it [03:30] ##windows Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [03:30] whats that mean? [03:31] AntiCensor: you need to log on freenode [03:31] ZykoticK9: i can usually get it to reset to the right time by opening the weather time, or other time settings... this time it reset when i opened irc [03:31] AntiCensor: i just told you.. you need to identify with the command i gave you. [03:31] AntiCensor: more info in #freenode [03:31] ZykoticK9: i opened irc from teh toolbar. it was minimized smuxi [03:31] dw-, my weather is broken as well. but not like yours is - but mine doesn't show. sorry man i have no idea. [03:31] bast: <> You are already logged in as AntiCensor. [03:31] ZykoticK9: k [03:31] the windows ops are just morons. we'll leave it at that. [03:32] 10.4.1 LTS doesn't have a rescue disk now? [03:32] AntiCensor: #freenode can help you better than i can. and you seem to fail at listening. [03:32] yes it's totally my fault I can't join a help channel and navigate through the op's BS [03:32] AntiCensor: have a 5minute tea and join #freenode [03:33] I guess it really doesn't matter... my disk is encrypted anyway. [03:33] ask friendly [03:33] I'm so sorry that I tried to change the resolution of the boot splash. Can't I just repent and get it booting again? [03:34] DasEi: So when I do lspci, The card is Reconized as a RTL8180L So that means that it does detect it and the proper driver is installed right? [03:35] Auckla: good sign, and ifconfig reveals ? [03:35] LOL do you have nvidia? i broke my consoles/terminals messing with Plymouth - that's when i decided "it only show for a couple of seconds so who cares". good luck man, no idea on reverting your changes, or what i did (unless i reinstalled) [03:35] stormzen, ^ === bryan is now known as Guest1791 [03:36] hey [03:36] DasEi: Yes it does. What would be a command line argument that you use to connect to your ap? [03:36] Auckla: sudo dhclient [03:36] Auckla: what does ifconfig say about the nic's IP ? [03:36] ZykoticK9, Yeah, I did have nvidia. I have no idea how to fix this. ... but it's a work laptop... encrypted HD... I'm seriously in for the long haul if I have to reinstall. [03:36] hello every body I am having an strange problem on ubuntu 10.10 It is failing to hibernet .. any help on this I am using it on my Hp mini this built .. thanks in advance [03:37] DasEi: Hmmm I do that and it does not grab a ip. Like if my router is not throwing any out there. [03:37] assigned by dhcp ? [03:37] stormzen, you might want to try running this script as a last resort (i had pretty good results with it) http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html [03:37] Anyone have the "don't use plymouth" boot switch? [03:37] ZykoticK9, I can't even get far enough to run a script now. [03:37] DasEi: Nope nothing like that. [03:38] stormzen: I remember i once just deinstalled it, issues gone :) [03:38] Auckla: ping the router ? [03:38] stormzen, OH YA - you have the encrypted drive! sorry man (i forgot you said that - i can't help man - i avoid issues with encryption) [03:39] DasEi: The wireless network interface does not have a ip address. And is refusing to grab one from my router. As expected, "Network unreachable". :*( [03:39] if when i start up an ubuntu vm, and it says your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some time press c to cancel, why doesnt c cancel? [03:40] <_Techie_> in my GDM, i cannot see any way to change the session, i thik it may be appearing ofscreen, is there any way to change session using a combination of keys? [03:40] hmm... maybe I can ssh into the #$%@er. [03:40] hola gente buenas noches mexico [03:40] Auckla: http://tinyurl.com/2bvg6ar [03:40] _Techie_, select your user name, then at the bottom you should see sessions [03:41] Auckla: no parallel wired connection ? [03:41] <_Techie_> ZykoticK9, i cant see it, its apearin of the bottom of the TV [03:41] _Techie_, ahh gdm resolution issue! sorry i don't know... [03:42] Holy crap, I don't believe that worked.. [03:42] DasEi: I have come across the ndiswrapper thing also. But this network is not encrypted. I Just want to get the darn thing to connect. [03:42] _Techie_: play with loginscreen system > admin.. [03:43] Auckla: no parallel wired connection ? please answer questions [03:43] if when i start up an ubuntu vm, and it says your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some time press c to cancel, why doesnt c cancel? [03:44] fizyplankton, check forced? unless your keyboard isn't working at that point? [03:44] DasEi: thanks for the help earlier in regards to 64bit. i am installing now...fingers crossed [03:44] ZykoticK9 ITS IN A VM [03:44] soz caps [03:44] kcorcoran: relax, standard hardware, which graphics ? [03:44] nit-wit [03:44] nvidia [03:45] fizyplankton: mouse not caught ? [03:45] i'm running maverick and not too used to ubuntu on the desktop. what happened to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? On a related note, how can I add /usr/local/share/fonts to my X fonts path? [03:45] DasEi: any ideas why my usb NIC drops connectivity unless i have a constant ping running? [03:45] kcorcoran: looks like a compatible box then , congrats [03:45] no it definalnly has my mouse and keyboard. my cursor dissappears when i click it [03:45] DasEi: I have a ethernet port. However, the situation I'm in right now causes the machine to not be able to access that because well I don't have any more ports on the switch. [03:45] kcorcoran: nope [03:46] oh, wow... uninstalling plymouth gets a prompt that says I'm about to do something potentially harmful. [03:46] To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' [03:46] klync, if you want/need an xorg - http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [03:46] klync: if you make an xorg.conf file it will be obeyed, maverick doesn't ship with one by default [03:46] ( Geeze. ) [03:47] Auckla: I thought of getting ip , diable and try pinging the router before looking for networks via wireless [03:47] interesting ... so, it just detects which settings to use on init? what's the recommended way to add my local fonts? Can I create xorg.conf with just the fontpath line? [03:47] stormzen: so better don't [03:47] kcorcoran, My mobile broadband does that too, although irc and general web browsing prevents it from going in to that sleep state for me [03:47] Auckla: disable* [03:48] kcorcoran, to be honest I am always downloading something [03:48] Hi, I'm new to linux and bought the humble indie bundle and I'm not sure how to go about installing my games on my linux machine. I'm not familiar with the file types and was wondering if someone could help. [03:48] DasEi: Will try. [03:48] is there a simpler way to share files and printers than nfs? [03:48] !samba | steiner [03:48] steiner: 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. [03:49] steiner: or even ssh [03:49] they are two ubunto 10.04 machines [03:49] steiner, i don't think you can share printers with nfs, cups yes. ssh between ubuntu systems is super easy for file sharing (but slower then nfs or samba). samba is your best bet for windows sharing. [03:49] DasEi: Destination host unreachable. [03:49] steiner: doesn't matter, simple is a term of habiit [03:49] Paddy_NI: what file/s do you have? [03:50] newb tried the current ubuntu live on a HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop ...impressed ...wifi, sdcard, got the network share, network printer, all with no problem. Unplugged the AC to run on battery and POW! shut down immediately. Nothing obvious in the power settings, is this a bug? [03:50] Paddy_NI: its not a sleep issue, i can be using it and it will happen. [03:50] ActionParsnip, Oh all sorts [03:50] Auckla: wired also ? same router ? [03:50] if using nfs how can i auto connect on startup [03:50] steiner, add you mounts to fstab [03:50] steiner: add to fstab [03:50] Paddy_NI: can you use pastebin to give a list, it may help [03:50] kcorcoran, hmm.. I really do think leaving the ping running is your best bet [03:50] DasEi: Because of the topographical location of themachine I am unable to plug it in via wired connection. [03:50] sorry, i meant ssh [03:51] ActionParsnip, Oh, sorry I am not following? [03:51] Auckla: I see [03:51] steiner, look into sshfs (but i haven't used it, don't mount that stuff at boot/login) [03:51] does anyone know what bitrate ffmpeg converts video to mp3 [03:51] ok thanks [03:51] Paddy_NI: use http://pastie.org to give the filenames you have and such [03:52] Ubuntu 10.10, installed fresh, it auto detected my wireless USB card (Linksys Dual N-Band). However, the card seems to 'shut off' randomly and then network drops (the status indicator goes dead) - I resolve this by unplugging and plugging it back in, about every 10-15 minutes. Appreciate any pointers on where to look to read up more on possible cause. [03:52] hum: you set it yourself [03:52] hum, i'm sure it's configurable [03:52] do you know how? [03:52] Auckla: assuming (from what ?) the router is working and card properly installed , sudo iwlist scanning [03:53] <_Techie_> is there any way to configure diferent default sessions for different users? [03:53] DasEi: Yeah I just did that, no scan results. And the computer next to me gets about 100% signal strength. [03:53] hum: its an option of the command [03:53] _Techie_: when a user logs into a session, the last session is remembered [03:54] oh because i was trying to do it at higher than 128 but i dont really know how... [03:54] Auckla: so either card isn't installed properly, or not in your network, or firewalled, or broken [03:54] DasEi: I think I will do one of two things. Share the connection on the windows machine next to, thus making my network ridiculously complicated, or try putting Ubuntu Desktop on it and see if that makes any difference. [03:54] maestro, That sounds like the same issue kcorcoran and myself have, seems leaving a ping running solves this for us [03:54] hum, looks like -b is bitrate (but i'm not sure if that applies to audio in the same way - i don't use ffmpeg much) [03:54] <_Techie_> ActionParsnip, is it the last session globally, or the last session for that user? [03:54] Auckla: lspci > broken prbly. not, /etcnetwork/interfaces ? [03:55] _Techie_: for that user [03:55] Paddy_NI: so leave a ping running in the background against something? [03:55] it tells me this... WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not kbits/s it works but the sound quality isnt very good [03:55] Auckla: also check /var/log/syslog and /etc/resolv.conf [03:55] Well so much for solving this issue before I go out tonight. [03:55] maestro, yeah I normally just ping google [03:55] DasEi: Thank you for all your support. [03:56] hum, i like mplayer to demux stuff, "mplayer -vo null -ao pcm FILE.VID" should dump to a way that you can encode to whatever you want. [03:56] Oh yeah what is the local console editer for Ubuntu console other then "VI". [03:56] maestro, you can also set the frequency of the pings if you wish but I dont bother [03:56] I thought linux used to use PICO, BSD EE. [03:56] Auckla, nano [03:56] Auckla: nano [03:56] Wow not installede. [03:56] Paddy_NI: Alright, I'll give it a shot [03:57] mplayer... you say... is the instructions easy to find [03:57] Paddy_NI: Thanks [03:57] maestro, sure thing [03:57] Auckla: vi,vim nano emacs, vim default [03:58] re: vi in ubuntu. I HATE the vi "tiny" that is installed by default. first thing i do on a fresh ubuntu is install vim - arrow keys are required ;) [03:58] so using chromium here and wondering where i might put my libflashplayer.so file so all my users can use flash??? [03:59] nano-nana, 2 edition today [04:02] maxxist: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ [04:02] Does anyone know why the text on the boot console is all messed up? [04:03] maxxist: if you are using that method, I recommend you uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras so the flash plugin there doesn't stink things up as well as remove any flash plugin packages [04:04] how do you sync your android with evolution? [04:04] I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on almost a brand new toshiba satellite, and when i go to restart/shutdown it hangs up?, what can be causing this?.. [04:04] can i make a ssh connection permanent so it connects when i start the computer? [04:05] does anyone know how to unlock screen,it tell me wrong password,but am sure it's right [04:05] getting undefined references inside of netbeans when trying to use libircclient and also when using libcurl [04:06] my #includes are correct...can not figure this out [04:06] steiner: you can add the connection to the startup and use ssh keys so you dont get bothered for passwords [04:06] <_Techie_> when usin any valid resolution for my TV, the desktop spans outside the visible area, is there any way to calibrate this? [04:06] how would i do that? [04:06] guess i got to figure it out on my own. [04:06] technie I got the same problem here.. defaults to 52" and 1920x1024 lose all edges [04:07] ActionParsnip, steiner i fail to see where a situation would require this type of connection. screen or ?byobou makes a lot more sense to me. [04:07] DasEi had my first 64 bit difference [04:07] ZykoticK9: thin client would be one [04:07] <_Techie_> purp, ive got 1920x1080 and i couldnt see the bottom bar when logging on to change session [04:07] ActionParsnip, i could see that i suppose. [04:07] im tyring to network two ubuntu compters together for file sharing [04:08] kcorcoran: so ? [04:08] steiner, just make a bookmark in gnome, so easy [04:08] steiner: then you would add the sshfs mount in /etc/fstab [04:08] what does your default monitor size say, 52"? [04:08] weside: try holding shift on boot, goto a prompt, check the logs /var/log/messages /var/log/sysmsg etc [04:08] <_Techie_> purp, im not actually sure [04:08] weside: or you can use a rescue/boot disk to mount the drive and do the same [04:09] _techie_, you running hdmi? [04:09] i made the directory in mnt but what do i do now? [04:09] new feature: ubuntu safe boot [04:09] !fstab | steiner [04:09] steiner: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:10] !sshfs [04:10] SSHFS is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions [04:10] <_Techie_> purp, yep, with an 8400GS [04:10] disconnect [04:10] _techie_, you can try to go down to VGA :/ [04:10] another problem i am having is when i plug in a usb mouse, i get nothing.. [04:10] ActionParsnip, if sshfs is fuse based i'd actually be surprised if it went into fstab (i haven't read the link) [04:10] re [04:10] hey I tried installing the iso file from ubuntu's site but it took too long and eventually quit, is there like a .torrent available for ubuntu on a mac? [04:10] weside: goto a prompt and sudo tail -f /var/log/* while you plug it in see what comes up [04:11] weside: after the cmd wait for the screen to stop scrolling then plug it in [04:11] ZykoticK9: i'm old school, what can I say [04:11] ActionParsnip, oh wow a fuse user. cool, thanks for the factoid fun [04:11] MisterAnderson: yes, all isos can be torrented, too [04:11] <_Techie_> purp, unfortunately i cant, im running hdmi through a surround sound unit, and then to the TV, the TV does have VGA, but it shrinks it and therefore makes the test null and coid [04:11] thanks dw- i will try that. :) [04:11] <_Techie_> purp, void* [04:11] ActionParsnip, thank you. your first method worked. I didnt install the restricted extras originally. as I did not want all the 32 bit libs installed with it. [04:11] any reason why I am getting undefined references when trying to compile programs using libraries inside /usr/include? [04:11] Bittorent downloads: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [04:11] !torrents | MisterAnderson [04:11] MisterAnderson: Maverick can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/desktop/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/server/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [04:11] all function calls are correct to prototypes [04:12] thanks [04:12] maxxist: cool, as long as its not there it wont pull in the 32bit flash and break things :) [04:12] _technie_, damn... I dunno.. I wish I did... I had to go down to 1280x1024 [04:12] the bookmark option was what i was looking for, thanks! [04:12] Anybody here good at resolving Grub 2 funkiness with dual boot windows? Posted a problem description here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647817 [04:12] weside: Ctrl-C to stop following (tail -f) the logs.. or add a space and & to the end to put it in the background so you can run commands...... [04:12] weside: then fg to bring to foreground :) g/l [04:12] is there a way to add a "run field" to a panel, so i don't have to hit alt-f2, i could just type the command in the field? [04:12] maestro: try: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub [04:13] <_Techie_> purp, i wish i could do that, but im runnin a custom xorg.conf for xbmc and i really dont want to have to fidle with i [04:13] seidos: I think that already exists if you right click the panel and add item [04:13] ActionParsnip: os-prober I assume attempts to update the grub config? [04:13] maestro: yes [04:13] _techie_, hmm... wish I knew... I need to fix same thing over here.. [04:13] Hi, in shell script how can I extract a column that I stored in i?? cut is not working.. [04:13] could some one tell me if they have the same issue with the video as seen on this feed, this is not the only time I have seen the issue, reminds me of a tv channel that's just off tune, but I can't figure out what the video issue is, btw, the sound comes in fine and would seem to be in sync if the video was watchable, example link mmsh://195.245.168.21/rtp?MSWMExt=.asf [04:13] ActionParsnip, tried that. i'm running karmic, and i have to click on it. i just want the field to already be there so i can just type in it. [04:14] hi ~ [04:14] <_Techie_> purp, im gonna have an ask around [04:14] ActionParsnip: There a file I should backup before I run os-prober itself, just in case? [04:14] almoxarife: I also see the seem problem on youtube sometimes [04:15] maestro: no, not really [04:15] ActionParsnip: k [04:16] i just dont get it.. [04:16] almoxarife, i can't open your mmsh link, but are you talking about this issue http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu [04:16] Hi, in shell script how can I extract a column that I stored in i?? cut is not working.. [04:17] ZykoticK9: let me read up [04:17] does anyone know where i can get the logitech quickcam version 10.5 driver installed so i can have my webcam work i cant find the driver i need [04:18] Nexxus: if you run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex id, you can then websearch that to find guides [04:18] ZykoticK9: not that, its like a tv channel back in the days when it was out of tune, I see lines running diagonaly [04:18] almoxarife, i opened your link - it's very different [04:19] Krishnandu: Re-state your issue and I'll try to address is here. [04:19] ZykoticK9: you see the vid screwy also? [04:20] tonyyarusso, I did i=`ps -e | grep -i server` so now I've the whole pid information about the running process(pid, terminal, time and program name), so I want to extract just the pid from there and will kill it in my next line [04:20] How can I prevent Desktop Users from accessing any online website? I tried 127.0.0.1 * in /etc/hosts but it didn't do the trick.Please note that I need to keep http://localhost fully functional. [04:20] Krishnandu: Can you show me the current contents of $i? [04:20] almoxarife, are you talking about an interlacing issue perhaps. i see the video, it certainly isn't the greatest quality, not listening to the audio though. i'm not an video expert. best of luck. [04:20] ZykoticK9: and I see the same issue with mplayer, vlc, etc [04:20] tonyyarusso, 3066 pts/11 00:00:00 server [04:21] ZykoticK9: is that what it is, interlace? [04:21] almoxarife, i don't know, might be? [04:21] Krishnandu: echo $i | cut -d\ -f1 [04:21] Krishnandu: cut separates on tabs by default - that changes it to uses spaces. [04:21] ZykoticK9: you see the video stream without issue other low quality? [04:22] almoxarife, i seem to notice that type of distortion with the more recent video codecs. [04:22] ActionParsnip: lsusb doesnt seem to think that it is there [04:22] tonyyarusso, wow..!! It's working fine :) Thanks a lot :) [04:22] Nexxus: is the device plugged in and powered no? Have you tried a different port? === b-worth is now known as butter1 [04:22] Krishnandu: np [04:22] ZykoticK9: yes I see it a lot lately, and I can't find a cause or cure [04:22] tonyyarusso, Ohh, that's why you said I may need to specify the delimeter right?? [04:22] Krishnandu: yup [04:23] ActionParsnip: ya i forgot the one it was in was faulty so now that i have the hex id i just google it? [04:23] got it :) [04:23] Thanks tonyyarusso [04:24] ActionParsnip: No luck - os-prober was latest version according to apt-get. When I run, I see just the Windows Recovery Environment. grub update lists the same as before, including just windows recovery environment - for whatever reason, it doesn't see the real windows install [04:24] is there something that blocks netbeans from using .h files from /usr/include and /usr/local/include??? [04:25] maestro: thats all i know dude, i dont dual boot [04:25] ActionParsnip: k [04:25] maestro: you could try reinstating the windws boot loader, then reinstall grub to see if its detected [04:26] it's weird ubuntu 10.10 works fine on my 3 year old laptop, on this almost brand new one nothing but problems so far. :( [04:26] tonyyarusso, Another issue, now when I do kill -9 `cut -d\ -f1` it's not getting killed, and in shell program it's just waits on screen... === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [04:27] ActionParsnip: I'm assuming to reinstate the windows boot loader, I use a windows recovery disk and have it make itself happy with a boot fix. There a way to then reinstall grub with the ubuntu install disk that you know of? [04:28] Krishnandu: kill -9 $(echo $i | cut -d\ -f1) [04:28] !grub | maestro [04:28] maestro: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:28] tonyyarusso, Ohh why so? I mean if you can please explain [04:28] Krishnandu: cut is just a command - you need to pipe the contents of $i into it if you expect to get anything useful back. === purp is now known as purpsm0k3 [04:29] tonyyarusso, Hmm... [04:29] !grub2 [04:29] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:29] ActionParsnip: i got a fatal error while running make in the directory of the driver i just installed it says: fatal error: asm/semaphore.h no such file or directory [04:29] funny [04:32] <_Techie_> purpsm0k3, can i PM you? [04:35] hello? [04:36] anyone in here? [04:36] 1.320 people [04:36] its been YEARS since ive been in an IRC channel [04:36] ok, hey [04:36] Over a thousand [04:36] I'm here looking for help with adding a repository to ubuntu. anyone interested in helping me out? [04:36] this should be simple and I've done it before, but now I'm running into trouble for some reason [04:37] If you have a lengthy error message, you can put it in pastebin.com [04:38] matt__: you'll have better luck if you describe your trouble. [04:39] http://pastebin.com/Bfxw09Cg [04:39] Hey. does any one here know how i can find out where my firefox saves temporary itnernet files? [04:39] hah, wow, I was already headed for pastebin before you said so [04:39] sorry, Internet files... :p [04:40] riddick, /home/user/.mozilla [04:40] hi all [04:40] thanks. i'll look into it. [04:41] FishFace, I'm sure backtrack has 64 bit packages I just don't know how to find them [04:41] _techie_, yes [04:41] matt__: Well, you could try this I guess if you haven't yet - http://archive.offensive-security.com/dists/pwnsauce/ [04:42] matt__: That repository appears not to support 64-bit. [04:42] Just go there and poke around [04:42] when I go to the repo through http it looks like they only have i386 [04:42] Ahhh [04:42] they have a readme where they list that and that's what ive got in synaptic for my repo [04:42] matt__: Also, this is an Ubuntu channel. Please use Backtrack support channels for Backtrack support. [04:43] shoot, good point. what am i doing asking in here? [04:43] There are a few channels you can go to matt. Go to the wrong one and they will yell at you. LOL! I forget which one is correct though. [04:44] Hella [04:44] FishFace: is there a way where I can have ubuntu make an exception? [04:44] Anyone familiar with setting up multi-touch gestures in maverick? I thought I set it up right, but sometime my cursor goes berserk when I put more than 1 finger on it. Sometimes when I lock and come back later, it magically works... [04:44] matt__: Dunno [04:44] or will it just always reject any architecture that I'm not on? [04:44] Good moning [04:44] Pokit: I have that same issue! Crazy. [04:45] matt__: Yeah it's driving me insane [04:45] Pokit: how did you modify it at all? I have only been in Ubuntu for about 2 hours [04:45] Pokit: Didn't know I could modify the settings [04:46] nevermind [04:46] matt__: I installed "pointing devices" and messed with the settings [04:46] !ati [04:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:46] so it looks like a new ubuntu setup comes with a .viminfo file - so I should add my own .vimrc file? [04:47] matt__: I also found a script that sets some parameters for different multitouch gestures [04:47] Is there an anti-virus program available from Ubuntu? [04:47] * for ubuntu [04:47] chaospsychex: Antivirals don't work the same way. [04:47] !antivirus [04:48] 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 [04:48] chaospsychex: REad that. [04:48] thanks guys [04:48] shoot, I haven't been in an IRC in forever! [04:49] How can I search for backtrack channels without printing the whole seventy mile long list that comes with /list [04:49] if I delete my main ntfs file partition using gpart will prevent from booting into ubuntu, which is installed on a separate partition [04:49] !netbeans [04:50] hola a todo el mundo [04:50] que hay de nuevo [04:50] !es [04:50] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:50] matt__: check the website. They usually have a list of their support channels [04:50] i installed from a cd [04:50] matt__: 175 people in #backtrack-linux - That should be good [04:51] FishFace: Thanks! [04:51] I tried to open a link in vlc, and it said: Your input can't be opened... and .... VLC is unable to open the MLR... and ... check log for details. So I opened the Log File viewer, and there are many logs. Which Log should I look at, or is there some other thing I should do to find out why vlc can't open the video? Thanks [04:51] no [04:51] my sound stopped working randomly. Everything is unmuted and up in alsamixer, I tried a few combinations of output device settings and tried testing the speakers in sound preferences.. Nothing. Rebooting didn't help. What else could I try? [04:51] do you know the command to boot bios from usb flash [04:52] with dos [04:52] jonathan_: use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo first [04:53] if I delete my main ntfs file partition using gpart will it prevent me from booting into ubuntu, which is installed on a separate partition [04:53] jonathan_: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio [04:54] chaospsychex it depends on if you ntfs partition is sda1 or not. [04:54] jonathan_, i really like ActionParsnip's suggestion above, but be aware that is removing your current pulse setup (if any) [04:54] I am installing my video card (ati) and it shows up under addiotnal drivers, i clicked activate. it shows about 50% complete on the "downloading and installing driver" screen...but its been sitting there for a while. any ideas? [04:54] incognito it is,i want to change it to ext so i can make it available as storage space for ubuntu [04:55] don't wanna boot to windows anymore [04:55] does anyone know what port and service to whitelist to allow firestarter to stop f**king with azuerus? [04:55] Texas_, not an ubuntu question. [04:55] Texas_: whatever port azuerus uses, look in its settings [04:55] firestarter i s not part of ubuntu? [04:56] Here's my pastebin for alsa info: http://pastebin.com/xYf9uJwn [04:56] chaospychex i'm proud of you heheh are you running 10.04, or 10.1? [04:56] and all this time i though i was using ubuntu lol silly me [04:56] unfortunately killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* and rerunning pulseaudio didn't work out [04:57] incognito 10.10 [04:57] Texas_: look in the azuerus settings to see what port it uses, if it has the option of 'use random port' make it use a set port, then allow all traffic in and out on that port [04:57] chaospsychex do you know how to use .... dd ? [04:57] thanks action i wil give it a try [04:57] incognito dd? [04:58] evolution sync: i can get my contacts and calendar from google, but can i also sync contacts which i locally add with google? [04:58] also if I aplay a wav file I get no output, so it's not something wrong with an individual program [04:59] chaopsychex is a utility that will allow you to copy the grub boot instructions off of sda1 and reinstall it after you have reformated sda1 [04:59] dd [04:59] dd is the utility [05:00] and where will i have to store the grub boot instructions? [05:00] i totally trashed my evolution address book then deleted the files. now it wont work. duh :p [05:00] Hi I was wondering if I can get some help to enable wireless with 10.10 [05:00] dw-: backups to the rescue [05:00] wtf [05:00] could someone bring up the utility page for dd for chaopsychex.. I don't know how to do it.. Thanks [05:00] wtf [05:00] wtf [05:00] samlife: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:01] chaopsychex on a flash drive [05:01] asustek: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides [05:01] mmmm [05:02] ActionParsnip: nah, lost em. maybe next time [05:02] samlife: do you have an ubuntu question? [05:02] could someone show me how to get the ubuntu bot to give chaospsychex the instructions for dd. [05:02] there's got to an easier way to do it [05:02] dw-: I suggest you get a backup regime in place, it'll save your hide [05:02] why can't i just delete the partition then install grub again [05:02] no way. dd is easy [05:02] !dd | chaospsychex [05:02] doesn't seem to be one [05:03] onto sda2 [05:03] any other good ideas for debugging sound problems? [05:03] ActionParsnip: yea ive got one now duplicity is nice [05:03] dd is the easiest [05:03] chaospsychex: dd if=/path/to/filename.img of=/dev/diskname [05:03] ActionParsnip: but still only gonna keep a month....... and i didn think of backups at the time im not used to actually havnig them haha [05:03] incognito: all the commands are here http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [05:03] yeah, dd is pretty strait forward, as long as you don't mess anything up :) [05:03] dw-: keep a copy on dropbox / ubuntuone ;) [05:04] actionparsnip what? [05:04] !compiz [05:04] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [05:04] ActionParsnip: ive got a 2nd drive... 2 full backups and incrementals for a month should be good [05:04] ActionParsnip: but i was just fixing it like the day after that happened.... lost the old stuff [05:04] ActionParsnip: ill fix it.. sometime. [05:05] chaospsychex you could store it on sdb2, and then you can access it with a live cd, but you have to know how to mount the hard drive from the live cd. That's not to hard. [05:05] chaospsychex: thats the command you'll need, you will need to change the image file to the actual image file you have and the disk name will be the actual name of the usb disk. e.g. /dev/sdb you can find that out with: sudo fdisk -l [05:06] Should the basic user have access to "Use audio devices" [05:06] chaospsychex do you have a live cd? [05:07] jonathan_: yers [05:07] yeah,can't i just delete the partition and do "sudo update-grub" ? [05:07] weird that it just got disabled. I enabled it but still no sound. Do I need to log out? [05:07] before rebooting [05:07] * Pokit recognizes idoru's name.... [05:09] hello everyone [05:09] chaospsychex I think that you will lose the exact address on the hard drive that sdb2 starts on. I forget what that is called. Can someone provide the name of that address that marks the beginning of the partition? [05:09] is there anyone who can talk to me about linux virtual platform?? [05:10] !vm | rugwiro [05:10] rugwiro: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications === jwkokc is now known as jk_ === mike_ is now known as Guest94637 [05:11] if i use gparted to redo the ntfs partition and then do "sudo update-grub" before i reboot, won't that work? [05:12] what is the name of the address that a partition starts on? I believe it starts with a U. Thanks [05:12] Tried 1 post to edit blacklist but no luck on wireless [05:12] for some reason, metacity keeps launching when i start ubuntu, instead of compiz and emerald, which is what i had everything configured for, and when i try to kill metacity i lose the ability to type into anything and my mouse is gone when i'm logging in, and when i get into gnome the mouse pointer is an X...and ideas how to fix that? [05:12] UUID ? [05:12] i have this project at school that says that i have to talk about virtual experiment platform in linux i can use whether php(mysql)or java(sql as a database) [05:13] but i have no idea where to begin [05:13] if i use gparted to redo the ntfs partition and then do "sudo update-grub" before i reboot, won't that work? [05:13] chaospsychex, what are you trying to do [05:13] So my sound only works with headphones. Why? [05:13] chaospsychex yeah that's it. It may work, but I am not familiar with that utility. [05:14] ruger333, this is ubuntu support, not a school project help area. google's your best friend for this. [05:14] dnivra: or any other search engine [05:14] nit-wit i have /dev/sda1 which is windows and /dev/sda2 which is ubuntu. i want to delete windows partition and make it a linux partition. then i want to know if after doing that , if i run the command "sudo update-grub" before rebooting, shouldn't it boot straight to ubuntu ? [05:15] rugwiro, this is ubuntu support, not a school project help area. google's your best friend for this. or as ActionParsnip said any other search engine :) [05:15] what are you calling me a nit wit for? [05:15] can you take a screen shot of gparted in Ubuntu and post it [05:15] sorry ruger333 auto-complete :). got your name accidently :). [05:15] nit-wit how do i take a screentshot and post it? [05:15] ActionParsnip, thanks for that-i just noticed i said it to the wrong person thanks to you :). [05:16] !screenshot | chaospsychex [05:16] chaospsychex: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [05:16] dnivra: sweet :) [05:16] chaospsychex, sorry yeah probably but lets see a gprated screen shot first if thats okay [05:16] If i lspci my wireless card shows up ralink rt 2860 but still no dice [05:16] nit-wit ok,one sec [05:17] jonathan_, volume control -> sound preferences. in the output tab, what does the connector box say? [05:17] chaos there is a screen shot in menu applications gparted may need to be installed and you use this site to post the said screen shot.http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [05:17] http://imagebin.org/128409 my screen shot [05:17] dnivra: It's set to Analog Speakers, and I get output with the headphones in [05:18] Oddly enough with the Connector set to Headphones, the sound doesn't go to headphones [05:18] jonathan_, change it to analog output? that might work. [05:18] works, but really soft [05:18] nit-wit well? [05:19] chaospsychex, okay you can remove the NTFS but moving that left end of the partition of Ubuntu if you intend to will take hours. [05:19] ok so both analog output and analog speaker work only with headphones in [05:20] jonathan_, what happens if you select analog headphones? [05:20] what do you mean "moving that left end of the partition of ubuntu" ? [05:20] i wanna delete the ntfs and then do "sudo update-grub" and then reboot,will i have a problem rebooting if i do this? [05:20] any one know how to bring up pulse volume control applet in Ubuntu 10.10? [05:20] nvm, they all work, but when I switch, alsa mixer automatically zeroes the speaker volume for the other modes [05:20] chaospsychex you aren't asking about resizing the partition, you just want to reformat and use the partition for data.. right? [05:21] chaospsychex, you shouls be doing this from a live cd with the swap off [05:21] So i can get each of them to work, but only with the headphones [05:21] should [05:21] incognito, yes [05:21] incognito, will it work? [05:21] well, coming here was about useless... [05:22] worst case scenario....i have to re-install ubuntu from my usb drive [05:22] chaospsychex, data yes but you sholud be doing this on a live cd with the swap off reloading grub is easy. [05:22] is there an auction sniper program for ubuntu? :-D [05:22] but atleast i wont have that god-forsaken os that is windows on my hd anymore [05:22] i dont have a live cd [05:23] chaospsychex I don't know. without doing some research, which I don't have time for right now, I can only tell you how I know how to do it. [05:23] chaospsychex: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [05:23] how do I query the contents of a (not installed) package? [05:23] chaospsychex do you have a flash drive? [05:23] why should i use a cd? [05:24] yeah,i got part of my ipod touch designated as usb mass storage [05:24] chaospsychex: gparted resizes partitions, boots into a nice gui its real easy. put on cd OR usb [05:24] you will need a live cd to boot your computer and format the drive and install grub [05:25] grub is already installed [05:25] i am asking if after I delete the ntfs partition and do "sudo update-grub" THEN reboot, will i have any problems [05:25] chaospsychex download a live cd, and learn how to use dd... it's simple. [05:26] * psusi wonders what this conversatoin is that he walked into the middle of [05:26] how much space does the new grub take on the hard drive. the old grub used to take 31 kb what is it now. [05:27] how do i unpack and install a jar file? [05:27] let me ask another question. I have my pc setup as a dual-boot config. where is grub located at on the hd? the windows partition or the linux partition? [05:27] linux_is_my_hero: its ready to roll, just open it with your java binary [05:27] linux_is_my_hero: jar file doesn't need to be unpacked [05:27] actionparsnip: how do i run it? :-( [05:27] linux_is_my_hero: you dont you do " java -jar foo.jar [05:27] linux_is_my_hero: you can make a script to start the app and put it in one of the folders in $PATH [05:28] linux_is_my_hero: like I said, open it with your java binary [05:28] chaospsychex, if you are using grub2 ( default since Ubuntu 9.10 ) then grub installs some files to /boot/grub in your Linux partition, and the core image to the embed area between the MBR and the start of the first partition [05:29] linux_is_my_hero: most likely /usr/bin/java [05:29] how to upgrade firefox [05:29] linux_is_my_hero: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1551117 [05:29] abhijain: sudo apt-get upgrade [05:30] psusi, if delete the first partition and do "sudo update-grub" before rebooting, will i have any problems when i reboot ? === rober690 is now known as FatalFred [05:30] chaospsychex, what is "the first partition"? [05:30] /dev/sda1 [05:30] I mean what is in it? [05:30] [05:30] ntfs windows [05:31] well, you won't be able to boot windows ;) [05:31] oh thats perfectly fine with me [05:31] ... how do I query the contents of a package that isn't installed? [05:31] i just want to know if i will have problems booting to ubuntu [05:31] Is anyone aware of a WMI client for ubuntu 10.04?\ [05:31] whoops [05:31] abhijain, well that updates your entire system. not a just specific package. [05:31] nvm :P [05:31] pepee, you download and extract it, or install it [05:32] psusi, dpkg is better in that case [05:32] how to upgrade ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 [05:32] the idea is not to install it... [05:32] psusi, will it boot straight into ubuntu after i do "sudo update-grub" then reboot ? [05:32] pepee: apt-cache show pkgname or apt-cache policy pkgname [05:33] pepee, then just download and extract it and look at the files that were extracted [05:33] abhijain, open update manager. it'll tell you if there is an upgrade and you can just download all upgrades to latest version. [05:33] chaospsychex, should [05:33] psusi, man dpkg [05:33] abhijain: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [05:33] abhijain: use the server method, its way simple [05:34] pepee, I'm pretty familiar with it already... dpkg -x will extract the files from a package without installing it [05:34] nomad77, showpkg will not do what I want [05:34] ActionParsnip, server method? what's that? [05:34] psusi, dpkg -L will show you a list of files [05:34] dnivra: its a way of upgrading at commandline [05:34] ActionParsnip, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'? [05:34] apt-file is not being helpful [05:34] pepee, if it is installed.. you asked how to see files in a package without installing it didn't you? [05:35] dnivra: thats not enough [05:35] chaospsychex if you want to be sure then you need to go to the grub manual, and or do a google search and find out where (which file) grub stores the UUID. And copy the UUID Then if it doesn't work you can manually install grub and you will have the UUID so you can input it into the grub file. [05:35] pepee: or ubuntu package search website [05:35] psusi, sorry, I meant I want a list of files [05:36] pepee, the only way I know of to list them without installing is to extract them to a directory and then ls the directory [05:36] chaospsychex That is the latest version of grub. I forget what version it is, but they upgraded grub to the next version on 10.04 [05:36] Hi everyone, Is their a net stumbler for Ubuntu? [05:36] dnivra: you need to tell the OS not to only expect LTS if you want to go from Lucid to maverick [05:37] ActionParsnip, oh yeah 10.04 is LTS :). keep forgetting that :P. [05:37] ubnoob: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19974396-Equivalent-of-Netstumbler-in-Ubuntu [05:37] psusi, read again: dpkg -L will do it, after d/l or installing the package [05:38] pepee, ohh... I thought that only worked if it was installed [05:38] thanks! [05:38] ubnoob: not smoething I even knew what it was but a simple websearch and I got a solution. [05:39] psusi, ahh, yeah. it doesn't work if the package is not installed [05:40] incognito, it is grub2 most likely a easy fix no menu additons [05:40] ok, got it. thanks, people. sorry for bothering [05:40] chaospsychex regardless, even if you do grub update, you should dd the grub sectors at the beginning of the hard drive as insurance. Even if grub updat works, you should always dd the grub boot section when modifying the first partition. It was 31 kb for the old grub, but I'm not sure what it is for the grub2 [05:41] Is anyone able to answer a question on a multiboot linux setup? [05:41] incognito should i flag /dev/sda1 as "boot" ? [05:41] i can't get audio over hdmi to work with my nvidia card in 10.04 x64 - unmuted spdif through alsamixer and now i get really scratchy sound - "aplay -D plug:hdmi" plays wavs perfectly but only in mono.... any ideas? [05:41] bisack, just ask [05:42] Hi, I need some help! [05:42] I want to know how to share common programs between distros [05:42] is it the /usr/share folder? [05:42] I broke a couple installs trying to force sharing the /usr with fstab [05:43] tahta, what help do you need? I *may* be able to help [05:43] chaospsychex no. I don't think so. I think you want sbd2 flagged as boot, but even if you get that wrong, you can always easily change that. [05:43] incognito, Ubuntu doesn't use flags [05:45] bisack, IIRC diff distros use different paths, configs, etc [05:45] nit-wit well then I guess that would explain why it works no matter what I flag as boot. [05:45] also, you need the config files for those programs [05:46] incognito, almost failsafe really, except for the user interface. ;) [05:46] nit-wit,incognito, : it worked! [05:46] new installation of v10.10 64 bit. i installed with ATI video card and was having issues. i shut down the computer and relaced with an nvidia video card. when i boot it goes to command line root: how can i correct this so the GUI loads? [05:46] Hmm, so pepee, you are saying it is more trouble than it's worth? [05:47] chaospsychex, yipeeee [05:47] bisack, yes, that's what I mean [05:47] I launched a major salvo at vista! [05:47] chaospsychex you like to live on the edge heh.... thanks for reporting. I learned something [05:47] resulting in the end of the war!!!!! hahahahah :-) [05:47] incognito, no prob [05:47] bisack, anyway, I'm not an expert. you can learn more about linux doing your own install from scratch [05:48] bisack, google "linux from scratch" [05:48] what is easiest to install in ubuntu, rpm or deb files ? [05:48] alright, related question, how do I set up a custom launch binary in each distro that will point to a non-standard path? [05:48] flyk: rpm wont work [05:48] i had a virus on my vista install masquerading as a anti-virus program. anytime i tried to launch an executable program, the virus would halt the program from executing. [05:48] flyk: use deb [05:48] thanks [05:49] bisack, maybe compiling the packages by hand [05:49] saying the file (.exe) was infected and would I like to purchase the full version, so i can "purge" the infected files. [05:49] obviously, I don't recommend to do that :) [05:50] Chaospsychex it always brings a big smile to my face when I hear that someone has axed Micro$hi# off their box ;) [05:50] chaospsychex, /join ##windows [05:51] chaospsychex, find the binaries and rm them [05:51] pepee ? find the binaries and rm them? [05:51] "desktop effect could not be enabled" any idea why ? anyone [05:52] pepe he already axed MicroCr#p off his box [05:52] is ##windows a windows support channel? [05:52] xavante: compiz settings [05:52] xanvante,what video card do you have installed? [05:53] i_is_broke: Intel integrated graphic Lenovo G560 [05:53] xavante: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [05:54] Lo does anyone here use a USB to Ethernet hub? [05:54] aka Network USB hub/switch [05:54] *sigh* this is a disaster [05:54] my sound card doesn't have drivers [05:54] and nvidia sound doesn't work [05:54] xavante: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+g560 [05:54] at least flash video is finally smooth [05:54] well, back to windows [05:55] Grouper, bye. good luck ;) [05:55] "smooth flash" is an oxymoron [05:55] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [05:55] Hello everyone. Any clue how to restore a Wubi backup? Basically my laptop died, and all I have is the root.disk file now. I am planning to restore it to a real partition I have made on my new machine. I am confused as most of the guides assume you are using a current wubi install to make the conversion, not a backed up disk. Any help? [05:56] Is there some way I can go from a running installation to a recovery environment in a ramdisk with all of my actual volumes unmounted? [05:57] tsrk, run a live cd? [05:57] ryan___: i suggest you install wubi then boot to windows and replace the root.disk file possibly may work [05:57] xavante: have u tried appearance settings, visual effects and click more, should look for driver then [05:57] pepee: unfortunately I don't have physical access - it's a colocated server [05:57] chaospsychex yeah #windows is the windows support channel. Keep in mind that unless you zero out the drive, the virus will still be there and if you reinstall after reformatting, the virus has a possibility of reinstalling [05:58] you zero out the drive with dd or with dban. [05:58] I like shred best [05:58] xavante: may help: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/137980 [05:58] jamiewan: yes, i did that but nothing [05:58] incognito, chaospsychex ##windows actually. though you do get redirected if you join #windows. [05:58] @ActionParsnip Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this, however because of the different UIDs and other information in the old root.disk, Wubi is unable to boot from it using this method. I assume I need to mount it and copy files over. How does one mount root.disk? [05:58] incognito, im not re-installing windows. im done with that os [05:59] tsrk, what about mounting as read only? [06:00] pepee: well, the volumes that I want to unmount are my LVM volumes, which I want to unmount so that I can rename them. [06:00] chaospsychex yes I completely understand, but some people like us web developers have to run multiple os's so we can see how our web pages display on microcr#p and such. [06:00] pepee: but my root partition (including /boot) is on one of the LVM volumes [06:00] hello [06:01] [06:01] incognito, im going to write a virus aimed a windows systems that install ubuntu [06:01] lol j/k [06:01] tsrk, I don't know what is a LVM volume :/ [06:01] pepee: it's hell... that's what it is [06:01] chaospsychex actually, that's an excellent idea! lol [06:01] pepee: just kidding, it's useful but makes stuff like this impossible it seems [06:01] [06:01] ActionParsnip: thanks.. I'll have a look at it [06:02] ryan___: then rejig grub once you get the disk UUIDs changed [06:02] where is everyone from? [06:02] veganskydive: i'm from 192.168.1.1 [06:02] veganskydive, this is ubuntu support channel. suggest you head to off-topic for this. [06:02] !ot | veganskydive [06:02] veganskydive: #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! [06:02] Rejig grub? I am not even sure how to change the UID of the old disk.root lol [06:04] ryan___: http://www.omaregan.com/?p=583 may help, personally I think wubi stinks [06:04] Can someone help me on installing java on my ubuntu 10 [06:05] ActionParsnip You will have more respect for wubi! It is after all the instrument of Ubuntu! [06:05] cg_cnu, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre [06:05] cg_cnu: what specifically do you want? you can get the open source ones with default-jre and default-jdk [06:05] @ActionParsnip Cheers for that, I will give it a try. Yes wubi became rather tedious to work with once I realized it's limitations, especially for migration. [06:05] pepee: they moved sun java to the partner repos :( [06:05] cg_cnu: you need to enable the partner repositories for sun java [06:06] I want sun java real time environment for installing another software called alchemy. [06:06] cd_cnu google: install java ubuntu 10.? if that doesn't help... let me know. [06:07] cg_cnu: is this on a desktop environment? [06:07] yep ......its a desktop pc. [06:08] tsrk, Alchemy requires the Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or above. this is what there in the site of alchemy. [06:09] cg_cnu: ok, just a moment, i'm booting my ubuntu VM so i can see how to enable the source [06:09] Anyone interested in tackling an external mouse not working issue? A Verbatim 96781, Ubuntu 10.10, dmesg and xorg.conf found @ http://pastebin.com/3vzLUeN3 [06:09] tsrk, ok......I will be here... [06:09] I need some help with setting up apache. I have some files that I have put in a web page, so people can right click on them to download them. but apache says permission denied. do not have permission. how do I configure apache to allow downloading from a particular dir? [06:10] can anyone tell me how to get the Logitech MX5000 wireless keyboard/mouse combo to work automatically in 10.4 LTS Lucid Lynx? [06:11] any programmers in here? [06:11] detrix42, what user is apache running as? [06:11] detrix42 is /var/www document root [06:11] cg_cnu, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list [06:11] I have the root doc folder in my home/Public/www folder. [06:11] deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner [06:11] cg_cnu: go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. then, within syanptic, go to settings -> repositories, and select the "other software" tab. enable the options with "partner" in, and save and close everything. open a command prompt, and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" [06:12] nairb774: I believe apache is running at what ever the default user name. [06:12] detrix42 what are the permissions in the www folder? [06:12] chaospsychex: Most likely almost everyone in here is a programmer... I suggest just asking your question and see who answers [06:12] detrix42 that would be root [06:13] tsrk, what is the problem with just changing the name of the volume? fstab? [06:13] what's a good c# ide [06:13] chaospsychex, ##programming :) [06:13] detrix42 open your file manager and browse to the www folder right click on it and click on permissions [06:13] ok......got it.....I will be checking.....and give you the result. [06:13] pepee: LVM doesn't want to change the name of a volume group which contains active volumes. it just says "Volume group "n2" still has active LVs" [06:13] incognito: did that...www permissions...rwxr-xr-x [06:14] detrix42, what about the dir one level up? [06:14] detrix42 you need to ad r to www and above [06:14] tsrk, ah. http://www.google.com/search?q=+%22Volume+group+*+still+has+active+LVs%22&num=50&safe=off&hl=en [06:14] tsrk, sorry, but that may be helpful [06:15] detrix42 for world permisions [06:15] detrix42 or other permissions..... whatever..... the last one. [06:16] tsrk, Hi I have tried to follow you... It is showing that. I already have a badly installed version of sun java. and not able to remoeve it. here is the error message...E: sun-java6-jre: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. [06:17] pepee: actually, that did give better results than my google search (which i admit was less specific). but it still looks like i'd need to use a live cd, since / is on the LVM [06:17] why is the copy web link option in ubuntu one greyed out suddenly [06:17] tsrk, yep, I'm trying to find something useful [06:17] cg_cnu: ok, try running "apt-get purge sun-java6-jre" first [06:17] chaospsychex: its a pain to fix and gets heavily impacted by the shortcomings of ntfs [06:17] ok...on my way.... [06:18] pepee: thanks, but don't worry about it too much. i just wanted to change it to be consistent with the hostname change on my server, but it's only asthetic... nothing critical [06:18] What's the name of the default media player that ships with ubuntu? [06:18] Tabstar movie player [06:19] tsrk, well, if it works, don't touch it... [06:19] incognito: all directories have rwxr-xr-x from home on down [06:19] unless you want to learn LOL [06:19] pepee: yeah... i really need to learn :P [06:19] pepee: (not to touch it that is... not learn by messing things up) [06:19] tsrk, I am getting the following error message...http://pastebin.com/K4t519bT [06:19] Tabstar get vlc player it's better. download the medubuntu files. [06:19] ah, well. "learn by messing things up" is what I meant [06:20] incognito, what would the package be called? [06:20] well I guess home is not, since it is owned by roow [06:20] root [06:20] detrix42 is it a file that you want to provide for people? [06:20] pepee: yep, and this really isn't the machine i should be doing that on :P i don't want to be pissing off my datacenter with midnight KVM over IP requests [06:20] incognito: i have that as well, although i like the other one better as it sets out the play list in a better way [06:20] Tabstar are you using 10.04 or later [06:20] cg_cnu: sorry, put sudo in front of that [06:21] incognito: 10.10 [06:21] tsrk, ok..... I am checking. [06:21] Tabstar sounds like your set! [06:21] there are several files I want to offer people in /home/detrix42/Public/www/websitefolder/ [06:22] detrix42 are you using html, or what programming language or tool are you using to serve up the files? [06:23] incognito: it html with a table generated with php [06:23] tsrk, I am getting the error again......http://pastebin.com/69U7X5xP === |_ocke is now known as mozy [06:24] incognito: this is the page: http://hoggfa.zapto.org [06:24] cg_cnu: ok, try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sun-java6-jre [06:24] detrix42 I don't know how to serve up a file with html. I use php for stuff like that, so I'm not sure what the issue is. I don't even know if you can use html to do that. If I was using html, I think I would display the a web page of the file and they could copy it. [06:25] tsrk, ok....on my way... [06:25] cg_cnu, what tsrk wrote, or try: sudo dpkg -P sun-java6-jre [06:26] tsrk, it is also not working.......http://pastebin.com/uYRXjHWt [06:26] pepee, I am trying ..... [06:26] ok, try: sudo apt-get -f install [06:27] pepee, same error message...http://pastebin.com/2T5Ay2tg [06:27] sudo -s for root access [06:27] tsrk, pepee ...I tried to install it from looking at a tutorial. I think I have messed it all. [06:27] sudo -s apt-get [06:28] incognito: check private message [06:28] detrix42, http://75.128.120.8:8081/filearchives/churchdocs/Clergy.doc seems to work... [06:28] I just think your links are off a little bit [06:30] cg_cnu: did you try "sudo apt-get -f install"? [06:30] Hey guys, to connect mysql server over network do I need mysql-client package right?? [06:30] tsrk, No i didn't. I am trying now. [06:32] tsrk, Ya...it is installing and it is showing some......Package configuration with a blue screen........but i am unable to click on the ok or type it. What should i do next... [06:32] cg_cnu: what is it asking you? [06:32] press enter [06:33] tab to select buttons [06:33] tsrk, It is just showing some licence agreement......Operating System Distributor License for Java v1.1 (DLJ) [06:33] btw, never mind on the mouse issue of mine... :D I figured it out. [06:34] tsrk, below there is this..... but not able to click on it or type ok there.... [06:34] cg_cnu: use the tab key to select it, and press enter [06:34] detrix42, does the fact that the links seem wrong help? [06:34] or was that a file that you know to work? [06:34] tsrk, oh.......man.....you saved my day.thank you. Now its working. [06:35] nairb774: I think I have it. I need to use relative paths to the file not absolute path [06:35] cg_cnu: i'm glad it's working! [06:36] detrix42, sounds about right. I'm out. [06:36] tsrk, Hey...its working.....I already have the software working in java. Thanks for your help. Have a great day. [06:37] cg_cnu: great! you too [06:37] Does anyone know how to get the Intel graphics to support 3d? [06:38] tsrk, What exactly is the procedure to install java.if i want to install it again in future. cg_cnu: go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager. then, within syanptic, go to settings -> repositories, and select the "other software" tab. enable the options with "partner" in, and save and close everything. open a command prompt, and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" [06:38] mitch2002: im on the same boat [06:38] How can I set up ICS on my machine so that it forwards port 80 to a different computer thats getting its internet from the machine [06:39] cg_cnu: if the system is in a consistent state to begin with, then that procedure should work [06:39] xavante: from what I have read there is no way to get it to work. I was hoping someone would know something else. [06:40] tsrk, ok....great...thank you. I am writing down it for future reference. [06:40] chiggins ICS forgive me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like windows terminology [06:41] Incognito, I'm just using it as a general term [06:41] mitch2002: compiz worked fine for a week but after some regular update it stopped and now not a sigle program that require 3 rendering wont work [06:41] chiggins are you sharing from ubutnu to ubuntu? [06:42] Incognito, for now yes. But that may change if I connect the xbox or something else [06:42] xavante: same here. I wonder if anyone is working on it? [06:42] cg_cnu: sorry, i got disconnected. anything else, or is it all good? [06:43] chiggins it's easy from ubuntu to ubuntu, but I don't know about xbox. Let me see if I can find the web page instruction. [06:44] network card issues!!!! [06:44] tsrk, Ya....everything is fine working.....except my wacom. [06:44] eh, good enough... [06:44] it appears my drivers and whatnot are installed corrently, i can see the card with iwconfig [06:44] but i cant turn it on [06:45] ubuntu is the best [06:45] tsrk, I am getting confused with the installation of wacom. Its very long program than the sun java. [06:45] anyone else think different ima keel joo [06:45] hi. I have a RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] GraphicCard, it has 2 VGA heads, i can view my Desktop in the second Monitor, but i would like to be able to extend my desktop instead.. Is it possible to have this Option? [06:46] system time got changed? how to fix it? [06:46] mitch2002, xavante if it is a bug. it probably will be fixed. you should search for similar problems, and try to report your issues [06:47] pepee: I see a lot of talk about how the 3d was disabled for 10.10, but nothing about it being worked on. [06:47] 3d tvs? [06:47] mitch2002: sure, I'll do that. tks [06:47] chiggins here is one way, but you have to use two nics in your server computer .. eg. wlan and eth0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing [06:48] chiggins are you connected wireless? [06:48] psiklops, yep, you can do that [06:48] psiklops, sadly, I don't know how... [06:48] pepee: any ideas on how ? [06:48] lol [06:48] ok [06:49] pepee: any hints on where to look? [06:49] Incognito.. My laptop is receiving a wireless signal, and through an ethernet port, is forwarding internet out to a switch, where my other machines are hosted [06:49] can some one help me on installing my wacom bamboo in ubuntu 10.10 [06:49] I'm looking at installing the software called guidedog [06:50] psiklops, google "dual head xorg +2010" [06:50] chiggins okay then the link I provided should work. I'll send another link that may help for xbox. [06:51] psiklops: maybe you should look from a) system->(settings?)->monitors or b) on your graphic cards software... [06:52] :D [06:53] eraggo: a) <-- i use lxde not gnome ... b) <-- what gfxcard software ? [06:53] psiklops, http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html [06:54] Hi, I'm trying to run a pre-compiled C program, but it throws unable to find shared libraries: libssl.so.0, where could I find this package?? [06:54] psiklops: oh. sorry... i assumed(!) that you run gnome :( [06:54] thanx pepee, looks nice [06:54] eraggo: np, thanx anyways ;-) [06:55] is there a way to get dnsmasq to save dns lookup cache to disk for after reboots, or remember longer majority of temporary lookups ? [06:56] Krishnandu, sudo aptitude install libssl0.9.8 [06:56] Krishnandu, sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8 [06:56] chiggins here are a couple links, but they may be a bit advanced for someone who is not familiar with networking: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=88b74f79f0ab07638e6b361c09040b45&t=503287 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [06:56] I keep getting DPKG errors when trying to install LIRC: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545177/ [06:57] pepee, IcemanV9 Thanks :) [06:58] RDove, rename /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf: sudo mv /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf{,.original} [06:58] pepee, IcemanV9 Hey it's saying it's already installed, then what could be the problem?? [06:59] It says "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [07:00] chiggins this thread may help you in the future for sharing to xbox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103881 [07:00] k-rad: check this: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/ [07:00] BTW this program is developed in f14 on another PC [07:00] rdvonz, from your paste lirc is already the newest version [07:00] @nit-wit: Here's what happens when I run the command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545178/ [07:01] Krishnandu, what program is it? [07:01] Krishnandu, you do have openssl installed right ? [07:02] r00t4rd3d, Yes.. [07:02] rdvonz, are you sure that just running lirc is the correct command [07:02] Krishnandu, it will probably try to find that file on some other location... [07:02] pepee, C program a demon like thing... [07:02] rdvonz: sudo apt-get install lircd [07:03] most programs are writen in C... [07:03] @twitch: If you look at the terminal it says from package lirc (main) [07:03] pepee, So I need to compile it again from source code in order to work??

[07:07] It says "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [07:07] Yes...

[07:23] darkrubysage: how's it going [07:23] F3RR1S: be nice...this room is natorious for ubuntu'ers being not so kind to the ppl that need help [07:24] how can i help you darkrubysage [07:24] Us3r_Unfriendly, was that mean? [07:24] I cannot boot a livecd of Ubuntu 10.10. After Casper.intrd, I get a long screen of code to do with initializing things, and then it hangs [07:25] It's an AMD athlon II dual core 2.10GHz [07:25] darkrubysage: sounds like a problem i had before without the livecd. Problem layed in my inittab back when ubuntu used it and just that [07:25] sl33k_, echo $SHELL === ashwin is now known as ltryute [07:26] darkrubysage, if you burned the disc on regular mode you might want to reburn it at a slow speed say 12 or 24X.... [07:26] darkrubysage: You did verify the md5sums of the iso file and the cd after you burnt it? [07:26] darkrubysage: i would say you should try another cd. sounds like an error with the cd [07:26] It's a cd sent to me from Canonical. [07:26] Has always worked before, on other computers. [07:27] i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on a new dell vostro 230s. i'm getting the error ubi-portman crashed with error code 10. any ideas? help please! [07:27] darkrubysage: well atleast the disk looks pretty...when your trying to install are you dual booting? [07:27] incognito, long download eh [07:27] palam: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [07:27] ive had pc's that had 'picky' optical drives. You could make a bootable flash drive from it. or redownload the iso and check [07:27] darkrubysage: It might be worth it to check, maybe the cd reader has an issue... [07:28] darkrubysage: i agree with willis [07:28] Dr_Willis: ;) [07:28] I disagree. darkrubysage try adding some options to grub [07:28] Jordan_U: unable to open /dev/sr0 read-write (read only file system) [07:28] it may be some hardware incompatibility [07:28] I can't get to the install stage, I insert cd, reboot, see the purple bootsplash, then lines of code that leave me hanging. [07:29] nit-wit yeah, but unfortunately it didn't work. I even restarted vlc. [07:29] Jordan_U: i'm installing on another computer, so can't copy paste - are you looking for anything in particular? [07:29] darkrubysage: whats Your video chipset? You can always try the 'nomodeset' option. (under the F6 options when uyou boot) [07:29] nit-wit maybe it has something to do with my hardware? [07:29] palam: No, mostly gathering info and seeing if anything pops out. [07:30] F3RR1S: before i meant ppl usually get shot down sometimes on their questions, especially with ppl in the irc not even giving advice...but just monitoring the room as a wanna be admin [07:30] F3RR1S: i'm not refering to you btw [07:30] Jordan_U: /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only [07:31] palam: That's normal. [07:31] nit-wit I ran htop and I saw that rhythmbox was running. does it always start up by default or does it just keep running even though I closed it? [07:31] Jordan_U: the two items on that list : sizes 0 - 57.5 mb and 57.6 to 2255 mb [07:32] My video card is an ATI radeon something or other, can't remember. [07:32] Dr_Willis: was that flash drive suggestion for me? [07:32] incognito: you have to either right click the icon in the systray and close it or sudo killall rhythmbox. Another way is from the gui [07:32] incognito, it will sit in the tray after started if not shutdown [07:33] palam: its a suggestion for anyone with cd issues on install. :) plus installing from flash is a lot faster i find. [07:33] thnkx [07:33] darkrubysage: not that it's important but how's the condition of the cd [07:33] darkrubysage, what about installing 10.04 and then upgrade it? [07:34] darkrubysage: pepee has it right there [07:34] or install ubuntu natty... [07:34] Dr_Willis, Jordan_U does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498417 [07:34] i'm not sure what to make of it [07:34] incognito, the FF addon video dowloadhelper will down load it for you [07:35] anyone know if I could select where ubuntu 10.10 installs Grub during instalation? It seems like it is installing it on the MBR, but that is not good for me since I have a truecrypted windows partition and that needs the mbr. [07:35] So I should try 10.04? [07:35] Glavata: the isntaller has a button/advanced button near the end tio select where to put grub. You could put it on a flash drive if you wanted. [07:35] darkrubysage, btw is grub installed on that machine? [07:36] Glavata, is ths a wubi or partitioned install [07:36] darkrubysage, also, you can try and install from USB [07:36] or from the 'alternate' CD [07:36] Im trying to upgrade my iPod touch firmware can I do this from 10.10 [07:36] Grub is not installed, I just bought it today with factory settings. [07:36] jianfei: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6650/screenshot5lz.png mplayer in action [07:36] partition install. I must have missed it while installing. After I partitioned my disk it started copying files and straight asked me to reboot. I remember on older versions it asked me where to put grub [07:36] Us3r_Unfriendly, I kind of thought that... but I wanted to make sure what I said did not come through as mean.... [07:37] a binch of options, but is easier to just upgrade [07:37] nit-wit I don't know what the FF addon video downloadhelper is, but I will google it. Thanks [07:37] F3RR1S: i'm not hating on you...i've seen you give advice to ppl before...unlike one of the guys in here [07:37] I already unlocked it using the same box [07:38] OK, well I'll try 10.04 [07:38] ah I see where I can select the location of grub, it's during the partition phase :) [07:38] thanks guys [07:38] Glavata, the where the grub goes choice is in the custom install in Maverick, the true cryot thing is going to hang you up it can be fixed. [07:38] Us3r_Unfriendly, I know a lot of wanna be OP [07:38] Thanks for taking time to help me. [07:38] pepee: agreed [07:38] hi ppl,how do I set NetworkManager Applet to load during a LXDE session?

[07:42] !ask | N8Wulf [07:42] N8Wulf: 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. :-) [07:42] can't publish item on ubuntu one? [07:42] my kernel was updated and the nvidia blob was not updated, anyway to rebuild all kernel modules? [07:43] IntangibleLiquid: what's you question anyhoo [07:43] IntangibleLiquid, probably this one what version [07:43] Autism and aspergers is what that channel is about [07:43] or reinstall which ever ones need to be reinstalled? [07:43] what will be the best/default/easiest network manager to set in LXDE? [07:43] zaapiel: could you just boot the old kernel or do you want the updated kernel? [07:43] SolarSystem|mobi, thats cool I know a bit about that subject just a cursory understanding [07:43] i want the new kernel [07:43] Cannot join now apparently. That is odd [07:44] N8Wulf, whats lxde running on top off [07:44] zaapiel: so your nv driver not running? [07:44] ubuntu 10.10 === |_ocke is now known as mochajoe [07:44] nv works [07:45] nvidia does not [07:45] I installed Lubuntu additional [07:45] but no Wifi/lan manager [07:45] im just wanting to rebuild all kernel modules that i installed [07:45] N8Wulf, use the tab complete key so we know who your talking to [07:45] N8Wulf, install wicd [07:45] N8Wulf: lubuntu comes with network manager. [07:45] N8Wulf, is the network manager not workng [07:45] nit-wit so this is not really intended for vlc, but it is just a program for downloading and saving streaming video files. Is that right? [07:45] nm is horrible [07:46] incognito, yes [07:46] nit-wit: there's no network mngr that loads it seems [07:46] zaapiel: have you tried reinstalling the driver for nvidea? you might have to generate a xorg.conf [07:46] While on the subject, if you have an actual computer instead of my mobile, can you figure out why I cannot join that channel, nit-wit? [07:46] N8Wulf, you see no icon [07:46] yikes [07:46] N8Wulf, in the terminal: ps axuf | grep -i network | grep -i manager [07:46] SolarSystem|mobi, do you have to be signed in with your nick [07:46] nit-wit: no icon... Pidgin opens, but no network connection [07:47] SolarSystem|mobi: You probably need to be registered / identified.

[07:47] N8Wulf, so hyou just added lxde correct you still have the ubuntu desktop or whatever correct [07:47] i just thought ubuntu had some way to tell when packages should be reinstalled after a kenrel upgrade [07:47] SolarSystem|mobi, probably they changed it [07:47] Dell made some oss project for it think [07:48] nit-wit: that's correct yes [07:48] zaapiel, some packages need to be reconfigured [07:48] SolarSystem|mobi, I am on but registered my nick in a password yesterday [07:48] nit-wit that's great, because I've been trying to find a program for downloading streaming video files, and that is what I was trying to use vlc for. This is actually more closer to what I wanted. I tried to use other linux streaming video capture utilities, but I just having a hard time figuring it out. Thanks [07:48] zaapiel, what about dpkg-reconfigure ? [07:48] nit-wit: I'm trying to free some resources so my Virtualbox can run with a bit more ram if possible [07:48] pepee: agreed but sometimes fine tuning a display driver to work you have to configure it into the xorg.conf i speak with experience with intel display drivers [07:48] then reboot [07:49] N8Wulf, go back and open Ubuntu and make sure the network manager under edit is set to auto connect and all users [07:49] Us3r_Unfriendly, ahh yeah [07:49] N8Wulf, is this Ubuntu in Vbox [07:49] nit-wit: ah... is that what that's for... thanx [07:49] but generating a xorg.conf in ubuntu is a fun experience since 9.10 stopped using it [07:50] Us3r_Unfriendly, http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2975/screenshotts.png [07:50] N8Wulf, hopefully lxde is tempermental with that I had the same problem [07:50] :D [07:50] nit-wit: no, vbox on ubuntu, in vbox I'm loading WinXP [07:50] i cant update my sun-java for firefox need help [07:50] incognito, it is sort of the secret we aren't supposed to tell.;) [07:51] nit-wit: I changed to login without requesting password and adding my username to the admin group, now I cannot login anymore, with error: cannot update file ICEauthority [07:51] N8Wulf, thats where I have it [07:51] r00t4rd3d: nice [07:51] Can someone give me a link to the Ubuntu USB Creator plz?

[07:52] nit-wit: gonna log out quick and give it a try, see you now, thanx [07:53] N8Wulf, no problem [07:53] r00t4rd3d: screenshots are nice but your only getting 50% of what i'm seeing [07:53] oh [07:53] IntangibleLiquid, so why add your name to the admin account and how did you wipe the password [07:53] numberz, someone gave me a direct link to a download for a Linux USB Creator, you have any clue where the link is for that? [07:53] nit-wit i need some help please updating java i have this version java version "1.6.0_21" [07:54] but it was an awfully long time ago [07:54] IntangibleLiquid, execute: ICEauthority [07:54] well i mean like 3-4 weeks ago [07:54] partyboy25, I know nothing about java [07:54] IntangibleLiquid, no, not that. this: locate ICEauthority [07:54] ok thanks anyways [07:54] anybody else? [07:55] pepee: so I need to go to the terminal and execute that locate command with sudo? [07:55] nit-wit in a way I can see why, but FF is default ubuntu and the streaming video capture utilities are so cryptic... go figure [07:55] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.1.8.exe [07:55] IntangibleLiquid: Have you been using sudo with GUI apps instead of gksudo? [07:55] partyboy25, I think it is installed via the restricted extras I could be wrong though [07:55] IntangibleLiquid, sudo is not no needed [07:55] nit-wit: Hey there... in LXDE now, still no Icon though [07:55] r00t4rd3d THANK YOU :DDD [07:55] Jordan_U: not that often sir [07:56] is windows app [07:56] N8Wulf, I wonder if your missing the notification area [07:56] IntangibleLiquid: What is the output of "ls -l .ICEauthority"?

[08:03] aleron you don't use cd to instal a program. you can use cd to go the the directory where the program is and then install [08:03] cd = change directory [08:03] how is it possible to install it then [08:03] ppl, while installing Lubuntu, I got a option to choose if I want GDE or LXDE to be my default login manager, my mistake is I chose LXDE, how do i change default Login mngr back to GDE?

[08:13] Jordan_U, thanks. didn't realize humour was OT here :) [08:13] give him the latest pepee [08:14] also, there's a bunch of people in #aircrack-ng [08:14] pepee/ no theres not [08:15] 80 people [08:15] somebody's on crack [08:15] yup [08:15] lol [08:15] aleron, type /join #aircrack-ng [08:15] do any of you have gkismet installed [08:15] incognito: That's not apropriate or called for. [08:16] 0_0 [08:16] Jordan_U sorry [08:17] bye people [08:17] have a nice weekend [08:18] Are there plans to do away with this stupid keyring crap? It's hideous that you would need to be bothered with additional passwords for no reason when connecting to a wifi network or checking email in the default email client [08:18] soreau I sure hope so! [08:18] soreau: you can disable it. and use 'unsafe storage' [08:19] Then it dosent ask. [08:19] Dr_Willis: How can you disable it, please tell me how [08:19] soreau: system -> pref -> passwords/keys - right click on the login: entry - change the password - change it to be blank [08:19] rather trivial :) [08:20] Its a security feature, so thats why its there. :) [08:20] soreau, you just don't know how to set the keyring up I only enter a password when going root [08:21] I find that a lot of the time the keyring asks for the password the first time to use. and people dont notice that. and they just enter their password by default. so it gets set to that by default. [08:21] Dr_Willis is that thing on 10.04 because I've never had it come up once since I upgraded to 10.04 about 8 months ago [08:21] nit-wit: I hate the damn keyring and don't want to know how to set it up. I want it to die already [08:21] incognito: you perhaps had it allready set to use 'unsafe storage' then. ie: blank password [08:21] Dr_Willis: Thanks [08:22] soreau: quit whineing and spend the 30 sec it takes to set it to a blankl password. it never asks again. and it saves your passwords for the other programs to use like its suppsoed to. :) [08:22] soreau, thats fine but don't ask for help if you get pawned having no password.;) [08:22] Dr_Willis: I already did. thanks [08:22] i just fixed that kingring today too [08:22] asking for pass every boot [08:22] Dr_Willis: nit-wit: I only complain when it's my distro bothering me, not when I screw something up [08:23] its a security feature. thats the bottom line. [08:23] can someone please help me with syncing my itouch 4G to rhythmbox? i have details up at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10250754#post10250754 [08:24] And also FYI, Ubuntu decided to wipe my gentoo partition on installation of 10.10 when I only told it to use it to auto-mount [08:25] And no, I did not accidentally select Format [08:25] hi all, could anyone help me with a recovery of my MBR? I tried to install Windows XP (after Ubuntu 10.10), had a 40 GB partition set aside, deleted that partition with WinXP boot CD, but it wouldn't let me install Windows on it...but then I couldn't boot into Linux [08:25] Fortunately it didn't wipe my other partitions that I know of so far [08:26] dh003i: Boot a live session then use the instructions here: [08:26] ! grub2 | dh003i [08:26] dh003i: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:26] I tried to reinstall GRUB2 to my MBR using the guide online https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [08:27] how do I run a file browser as root?

I just bought a laptop today - AMD Athlon II p320 2.10 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI something or other graphics card. I can't boot from a livecd, I start it up, see the purple splash screen, then a few screens of code that just hangs. I've tried nomodeset, I tried using a 10.04 cd instead, I tried using a USB, still no luck. All cds are burned well. [08:30] Windows on /dev/sda5 [08:30] it says that that iso resource cannot be loaded by sfx [08:31] Ubuntu is everything else... /dev/sda1 = swap, /dev/sda3 = /, /dev/sda6 = /tmp, /dev/sda7 = /var, and /dev/sda8 = /home [08:31] darkrubysage, tried the alternate cd? [08:31] darkrubysage, in bios , plug and play os = no ? [08:31] darkrubysage: Were you able to get any of the informational messages when it hangs? [08:32] dh003i did you put your ubuntu home folder on a separate partition? [08:32] It was just a whole list sort of thing of modules, like kernel-image-whatever. [08:32] d\h003i oh yeah, I see [08:32] darkrubysage, specifics would be very useful to determine the problem [08:33] incognito, yes see the partition list above../dev/sda8 is /home [08:33] darkrubysage: Could be any hardware the kernel is trying to load the module for causing the problem. Try c0nv1ct's suggestion and get the alternate cd to see if it works [08:33] Someone helped me install Ubuntu 10.4 awhile back and I installed my /home as a seperate partition. Can someone walk me through how to do a fresh 10.10 install without wiping my /home folder? I am at the screen where I manually select partition layout in the setup === tiburon is now known as hajoscher [08:34] /msg NickServ identify 5ratten5 [08:34] LOL [08:34] hajoscher, nice [08:34] shit [08:34] UbuntuLily: Just tell ubuntu to use the home partition as whatever filesystem it is (likely ext4) then set the mount point as /home [08:34] UbuntuLily, for one, backup /home, two, choose not to format /home at the part you are at now === kthomas_vh_ is now known as hajosher [08:35] yeah.... definitely DO NOT format /home === hajosher is now known as kthomas [08:35] UbuntuLily: Yes, chose not to format it, just use it as ext4 and mount point to /home [08:35] and it's never a bad idea to make backups === kthomas is now known as hajoscher [08:36] So still select the partition and choose CHANGE and select the mount point as /home and the file system as the same as it is now? (EXT4)? [08:36] -NickServ- hajoscher has been ghosted. [08:36] :P [08:36] UbuntuLily: Yes [08:36] do I need to backup my /home partition? [08:36] UbuntuLily, yes, just make sure only / is set to format [08:36] UbuntuLily, you should, you always should [08:36] UbuntuLily: It is never a bad idea to make backups of your data [08:37] UbuntuLily, would your life suck if you lost everything in /home? if the answer is yes, then you backup [08:37] I don't have a removable hard drive [08:37] UbuntuLily, you got 2gb free from dropbox and another 2gb from ubuntu one, might want to make use of it [08:37] it would suck.... but how likely is it something will go bad? [08:38] UbuntuLily, not likely, but there is always a chance... always [08:38] NICK trala [08:38] UbuntuLily: You don't need a removable hard drive to backup data.. but I just did an install of 10.10 and it wiped one of my partitions I told it to mount only === hajoscher is now known as trata [08:38] dh003i if you install window on any partition other than sda1, sda1 still has to be ntfs because the xp has to have the boot sectors for booting. Afterwards, the ubuntu instal can handle the installation of other OS's and recognize the location of the windows partitions. === trata is now known as trala [08:39] incognito, that is not true [08:39] c0nvict you are correct convict [08:39] incognito, back when the 1024mb BIOS barrier existed, but not on anything built in the past 10 years [08:40] other than a removable hd what can i do with 100gb data to ensure not wiped? [08:40] UbuntuLily, DVDrs and CDrs [08:41] rsync it offsite? [08:41] ah [08:41] UbuntuLily: Create a temporary partition and cp -a the data as root [08:41] incognito: ahhh, shoot...I don't think I can resize my partitions (right?)...right now, sda1 is swap...but only 16GB...sda5 was unused, so I figured install Windows on that...so could I install it on sda1, then make sda5 my swap and recover my MBR after? [08:41] plenty of options [08:41] c0nvict yes, but if you don't have the ubuntu install locate the UUID in the windows MBR, then you need to know how to read the windows MBR or extract the UUId from the MBR. Corrrect me if I'm wrong c0nvict. [08:42] i guess better off safe than sorry [08:42] how do i keep my wireless connected? it seems to often disconnect until i manually click on the icon and select it again... its set to 'auto' but its not being automatic.

[08:44] dh003i, well, you also want to make sure windows doesnt format any ubuntu partitions [08:44] dh003i you don't need to resize anything. you can install windows on sda1 w/16gb. How big is that program you needed to run? [08:45] conv1ct: how can I make sure windows doesn't format any ubuntu partitions? I just select the partition i want it on, right? [08:46] dh003i, yes, just dont tell it to format anything other than the partition you want windows on [08:46] dh003i 16GB is plenty of room to run windows [08:46] yep, XP only needs 1.5gb minimum, 16gb is plenty if your apps dont need more [08:46] LibreOffice complains that "The program cannot be started. [08:46] iso resource could not be loaded by SfxApplication". please help me === sinan is now known as Guest35620 [08:47] arunkumar413: since its not a ubuntu official package (yet?) you may need to check the libreoffice forums/support channels/ ubuntu forums also may help [08:47] Dr_Willis: ok,thnaks [08:49] dh003i of course it would be even better if you run xp in vmware. esx may be the most user friendly [08:49] Howdy [08:50] incognito: esx is an operation system from vmware [08:51] Interius, doody [08:51] iceroot, he means virtualbox, he just doesn't know it :P [08:51] incognito: ahhh, well Spectraview II is the software I needed to run. It is to hardware calibrate a NEC LCD monitor. Ran in Wine, it said "no compatible monitor found"...something about no linux implementation of DDC (Data Display Channel). The creator of argyll said that hardware control of the monitor probably wouldn't work well under virtualization [08:51] c0nv1ct: oh.... ok :) [08:52] ya. [08:52] you got it right [08:53] dh003i then put windows on sda1 and be done with it. Did you say that ubuntu won't boot? [08:53] i installed lucid on my dell laptop [08:53] but bluetooth is disabled [08:53] incognito: yes, I can't boot into Ubuntu after the failed WinXP install attempt [08:53] please help me [08:54] incognito: I'm trying to get my boot menu back, but no luck [08:54] !bluetooth [08:54] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [08:54] pkmhs: bluettogh enabled in the bios?

[08:55] there is a key to start bluetooth but even if i start it no effect [08:55] iceroot: yes, I see grub boot prompt [08:55] pkmhs: Have you looked in system>preferences>bluetooth? [08:55] dh003i: and grub is listening ubuntu? [08:55] iceroot: no, just grub> [08:56] dh003i: grub1 (legancy) or grub2? === trala is now known as hajoscher [08:56] iceroot: well, before I tried installing windows, I did grub-install -v to check my grub version, it said 1.98 [08:56] soreau: yes [08:56] iceroot: so should be grub2 [08:57] dh003i if you installed ubuntu 10.04 or later, then that would be grub2 [08:57] dh003i: that is grub2 [08:57] it says bluetooth is disabled [08:57] iceroot: also, I had an install of Ubuntu 10.10 [08:57] dh003i: i guess reinstalling grub2 would be the easiest way [08:57] i installed blueman it says bluez daemon is not running,blueman-manager cannot continue [08:58] pkmhs: Is there any output from 'lsmod|grep bluetooth' in your terminal? [08:58] iceroot: I tried that via this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [08:58] yes [08:58] iceroot: I just get the grub> boot prompt [08:58] iceroot do they make a supergrub2 bootdisk? [08:58] Does anyone know how to get a livecd working with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470? [08:58] soreau: no lsmod doesn't give anything [08:58] but lsusb gives [08:58] pkmhs: What about '/etc/init.d/bluetooth status'? [08:59] 俄 [08:59] pkmhs: Ok run 'sudo modprobe bluetooth' and pastebin if there is any error message [08:59] incognito: Yes. [08:59] incognito: not ubuntu/cancocial but other distris [08:59] darkrubysage: you could check the forums for that exact chipset. theres such a varity of ati chipsets [08:59] dh003i: and windows and ubuntu are on sda? [08:59] dh0031 do a google search for a grub2 or supergrub2 bootdisk. [09:00] soreau: i did modprobe bluetooth..it dint produce any error [09:00] but there was no output too [09:00] pkmhs: Now check the output of 'lsmod|grep bluetooth' again. It should show the module is loaded [09:01] pkmhs: No output typically means success [09:01] yes it came [09:01] Hello [09:01] pkmhs: Now do 'sudo service bluetooth start' [09:01] iceroot window sda5 ubuntu root sda3 [09:01] done service bluetooth start [09:02] pkmhs: And now restart sys>prefs>bluetooth and see what it says [09:02] guys can someone help me,i did install backtrack today,and i lost anything on my hard,how i can create ntfs driver? [09:02] bluetooth is disabled :( [09:02] pkmhs: What does '/etc/init.d/bluetooth status' say? [09:03] please? [09:03] t0ba: gparted can make 'ntfs' and otehr file system patyitions.. but Backtrack has its own support channels.. [09:03] *bluetooth is not running [09:03] backtrack are ubuntu -.-' [09:03] t0ba are you ESL? ntfs driver? ntfs-3g? [09:03] t0ba: No it is not. [09:03] pkmhs: You need to do 'sudo service bluetooth start' or 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start' [09:04] t0ba: backtrack is based on ubuntu. It has its own support channels/forums and stuff. [09:04] i am doing it as a root user [09:04] so u dont wanna help me? [09:04] t0ba: i allredy did answer you - If you want to make ntfs partitions in linux use 'gparted' [09:04] t0ba you need ntfs-3g [09:05] well,i wanna back windows,but i cant install becouse it's missing ntfs :( [09:05] how install ipw2100 in ubuntu ?

[09:05] t0ba: if youa re having issues reinstalling windows - theres the #windows channel. The windows installer should beable tomake partitions if you have unallocated space. [09:05] lokii: Why do you think you need to install a module? [09:06] soreau: what should i do [09:06] t0ba: If you are starting over from ground zero. You could use a live cd. with gparted - delete every partition. and make a ntfs at teh start of the HD. then isntall windows there. [09:06] i neew wifi :) [09:06] pkmhs: You need to get the bluetooth service started. Are those commands failing or giving any error?

[09:07] can i create partition with gparted? [09:07] pkmhs: I don't know but I suspect the problem is that bluetooth is off in hardware on boot so it doesn't load the module. It might be a good idea to put 'bluetooth' in /etc/modules so it loads it by default then reboot [09:08] t0ba yes [09:08] t0ba: thats what gparted does [09:08] how i see [09:08] i cant [09:08] :( [09:08] no access for new [09:08] lol [09:08] ! broadcom | lokii [09:08] lokii: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:08] hm.

It should not cause any problem if it is in the ubuntu repositiories. [10:14] padi999: fdisk deals with the partition table, not with filesystems. What you need is a *filesystem* that OSX supports, like fat32,ntfs, or hfsplus. [10:14] nicofs: uh, don't _you_ have a wireless network? [10:14] i think rob_p gave up on my problem ;P [10:15] Random832, i could make an ad-hoc network from my other notebook... [10:15] Jordan_U: fdisk can chose the partition type filesystem, yes I thought there was a native OSX filesystem [10:15] gah [10:15] incognito, that's nice to know. I guess I'll try it with the livecd first [10:15] pick a network that doesn't do WPA, to keep it simple [10:15] blacksunseven: In your /usr/src directory, do you have a sym-link named, "linux" which links to the directory containing your current kernel headerfiles? [10:16] padi999: patition type is not the same as filesystem type (though there is some correlation). fdisk does not understand anything about filesystems.

[10:23] ext4 [10:23] i want my docs and stuff on there [10:23] blacksunseven: Yes, in the /usr/src directory you will have a symlink named linux which points to the directory containing the headers. [10:23] Weedo: set the permissions/ownership of the fs. tobe owned by your user then. or make a directory on it. and chown/chmod that for the user to access [10:23] Weedo: chown/chmod the /media/MOUNTPOINT or a dir on the filesystem.

I've installed VMware dozens of times and never had it fail to find the headers once I had them installed and the sym-link in place. You've exhausted my (not so) vast knowledge base...

The only firmware that isnt installed are ones with licensing issues like with bc43xx [10:30] rob_p: what's odd is this pastebin.com/sKZHQC6H [10:31] see how its search for a valid kernel header path returns "" ? [10:31] nicofs: Did you check dmesg for error messages? Have you tried booting a live session from the sd card again and inspecting the working setup? [10:31] ok [10:32] blacksunseven: Yeah, that is strange. The VMware tools installer must be picking that up from some config or something because when I run it, it returns a sane path. [10:32] soreau, what am i looking for in dmesg? [10:33] nicofs: any error messages pertaining to the driver module [10:33] ??

[10:50] nicofs: i've had alot of luck using the ndiswrapper for wireless cards that don't work out of the box or it kinda works but stops deal [10:51] nicofs: how are you talking to us then? [10:51] us3r_unfriendly, different computer... got 4 of them... [10:52] hi all [10:52] nicofs: i'd connect the one with wireless problems with ethernet cable and install the kernel or ndisgtk. you might be able to use aptitude to download from the repos and put it on a flash drive and then transfer the kernel [10:53] us3r_unfriendly, you propably wouldn't believe it if i told you that my troublesome netbook has no ethernet...

[10:55] nicofs: seriously how do you not have a ethernet port...is that the new rage that manufactures are doing now a days...gosh that makes me feel old talking about ethernet then :( [10:56] randy_:acetone iso === matthew is now known as Guest65011 [10:56] us3r_unfriendly, hang on ...

I got as far as viewing my external hard drive, but now that doesn't work either since I've got myself a new drive :/ [10:57] nicofs: on another machine: sudo apt-get install aptitude [10:57] bonjoyee, does it support cd image with protect technology [10:57] randy_: what is a virtual-cd program? [10:57] how do I see partitions and format hem without gparted or Ubuntu's disk manager? Disk Mgr can't format a partition and gparted keeps displaying the wrong mount points vs. what I know is assigned in fstab [10:58] whre do i set default file manager in ubuntu? [10:58] Tuplad: sure the drives formatted ext3? [10:58] nicofs: also for this your going to need a flash drive and the windows xp driver for your wireless device [10:58] bonjoyee: positive, always been! [10:58] sacarlson, in M$ like alcoho 120 [10:58] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rShwAB62qM&hd=1 [10:58] bonjoyee: disk internals linux reader SEES the drive, but can't open it. [10:59] anybody know why grub uses the UUID instead of devices like /dev/sda1? It seems to work the same with the /dev/sda1 format [10:59] randy_:what cd do you want to run? [10:59] bonjoyee: the other drives are labeled as "local drive (X:)" etc., when I double click I get "drive is empty, format ?" === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [10:59] us3r_unfriendly, i think that msi povides linux drivers... hang on... [10:59] it seems to have changed with the most recent ubuntu releases [10:59] err, fstab is displaying weird partitions vs. what I had set up [11:00] aI mean, fdisk -l [11:00] hi [11:00] us3r_unfriendly, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 [11:00] Tuplad:so you had this thing working earlier with other drive> [11:00] bonjoyee, a game cd,I has lots of iso,mdf cd image ,I shall run my game in wine [11:00] randy_: I just got the one that bonjoyee: sent you acetone iso and get the basic idea [11:00] bonjoyee: yes, only the external drive [11:01] us3r_unfriendly, fyi: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/home-ac100/ is my device... [11:01] Tuplad: do sudo fdisk -l for both the drives..and check if the results are identical.. [11:02] nicofs: i'm going to need another terminal for this [11:02] lol [11:02] nicofs to update your kernel use kernelcheck : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=618563 http://kcheck.sourceforge.net/ [11:02] bonjoyee: crap... I don't have the other drive. which results should I look for ? I've bought myself a bigger drive of an other brand. I always format my drives ext3. [11:03] sacarlson, I don't know what you said "send",I don't speak english,my cd image not only *.iso,but also *.bin,*.mdf(with mds) [11:03] nicofs: did you say you wanted the new kernel or you said no you didn't? [11:03] incognito, i think changing the kernel is out of the question as i have a custom kernel for my device... [11:03] Tuplad: the last column...that identifies the filesystem type [11:04] bonjoyee: "Linux" it is [11:04] us3r_unfriendly, i doubt that the generic linux kernel would work... [11:04] sacarlson, by the way,how to say cd image program in English [11:04] Tuplad: and id? [11:04] bonjoyee: 83 [11:04] bonjoyee: I've got an idea! I just checked the disk rights and only "owner" had read/write rights. I set read rights for others, let's try again :D ? === BenBuc is now known as BenB [11:04] nocofs then you would have to do it manually, which is quite advanced [11:05] randy_: cd images aren't programs but they could end up bootable, maybe bootable cd images [11:05] incognito, i'd be happy to just get my wifi going for a start... [11:05] When Ubuntu One is available in german and other languages? [11:05] Tuplad: never used ext3 under windows..so dont know if it honors the file permissions [11:05] shoot, I think Ubuntu renumbered my /dev/sda1 - sda8 when I deleted a partition in Disk Utility...so does that mean my fstab is screwed up? [11:05] bonjoyee: I'll try it out in a moment [11:06] nicofs custom device? are you refering to your box? [11:06] Tuplad:but u certainly have a point here:) [11:06] sacarlson, I type wrong,I want to virtual cd program [11:06] or your wireless adaptor? [11:06] incognito, i meant my netbook as such [11:07] nicofs you shouldn't have any problem upgrading the kernel [11:07] randy_:acetone will mount the cd ...so will the mount command in terminal..not sure about the copy protection though [11:07] randy_: maybe you mean you want to test a bootable cd image like iso in a virtual envirnment like virtualbox [11:07] nicofs: well it's worth a shot with installing the new kernel...otherwise your going to have to install the driver and set it up to be reconized [11:08] incognito, apart from not being connected to the internet... [11:08] incognito: he doesn't have a way to connect to the internet with his machine [11:08] sacarlson, no I don't want to boot it [11:08] incognito: no ethernet [11:08] sacarlson: no..i think he wants to play a game that needs a cd in the tray// [11:08] seriously [11:08] us3r_unfriendly, incognito ok, you got me... new kernel it is... if you know how... [11:08] sacarlson, my iso file can't boot,it only have game [11:08] sudo apt-cache search linux-image [11:09] nicofs: that'll display what's in the repos [11:09] bonjoyee: so he just want's to mount an iso image to a directory? randy_ [11:10] bonjoyee: or does it have to emulate a device? [11:10] You find out your kernel on the machine that doesn't work with: sudo uname -a [11:10] nicofs yeah either kernelcheck the link for which I posted earlier, or manually which is easily found in a google search, but may not be recommended for beginners. [11:10] arg, i'm getting a cfdisk error, can anyone help? [11:10] FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 8: enlarged logical partitions overlap [11:10] randy_:if you're going to use wine anyways...why not try a windows program for this as well... [11:10] sacarlson, yes,but I don't want to use terminal,I always command and I has cd image like mdf and mfs file [11:10] DavidJHeinrich1: Do you understand what that error means? [11:11] sacarlson: yes..he wants to emulate a cd drive... [11:11] wine doesn't like me...don't know why [11:11] nicofs some beginners can handle kernel upgrade. [11:11] Jordan_U: no [11:11] incognito, but how do i get kernelcheck onto that machine - or the new kernel... [11:11] Jordan_U: it doesn't exactly give any useful explanation [11:11] Good Morning from Germany. Lately, in my firefox, the flash pluggin becam sluggish. Videos do not run smoothly anymore. Strangely when I fullscreen them, they play smoothly. But then when i un-fullscreen it, the video is not displayed anymore. Any ideas? [11:11] bonjoyee, I don't think alcohol 120% can use in wine [11:11] about:plugins says "Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102" [11:11] complete: your running ubuntu 64 aren't you? [11:11] nicofs go to a friends house who has hard line. [11:11] randy_: how about daemon tools? [11:12] diego [11:12] us3r_unfriendly: no, i dont think so. how do i find out? [11:12] incognito: he doesn't have a ethernet port on the machine [11:12] incognito, and where do i plug that hard line into? that device doesn't have internet [11:12] incognito, sry, i meant ethernet [11:12] randy_: else try acetone ...and see how far it goes... [11:12] DavidJHeinrich1: It means that whatever you told cfdisk to do would result in overlapping partitions, as a simplified example like one partition begining at 1 and ending at 10, and another beginning at 5 and ending at 20. [11:13] I have a created a wireless connection from the main admin account and checked the box saying "Available to all users", everything is working correctly. I only need to prevent the Desktop Users from switching the connection to another one.How can I accomplish this? [11:13] nicofs do you have usb port? [11:13] bonjoyee, the program with SPTD cna't work in wine [11:13] Jordan_U: I didn't tell cfdisk to do anything...it tells me that upon entering it [11:13] incognito, yes. exactly one... === Inferus is now known as Guest59284 [11:13] complete: sudo uname -a will also tell you kernel info as well as if it's a 32bit or 64 bit [11:13] Hi. My open office suddenly misses the arial font. Why? [11:13] randy_:ok.. [11:13] Jordan_U: I told Disk Utility to delete a windows partition from before, then try to reformat it as swap, but didn't work [11:13] DavidJHeinrich1: That probably means that you currently have overlapping partitions. What is the output of "sudo parted -l"? [11:14] hi [11:14] us3r_unfriendly: Linux hostname 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [11:14] julia_: try "fc-cache -fv" in a terminal [11:14] bonjoyee, and I also want to use some cd image in linx~~~~~~~~~~ [11:14] nicofs find someone who will let you borrow wifi adaptor. maybe it won't work, but if you try more than one, eventually one should work.

I was wondering how i could Re-partition my drive or whatever so that i can run 2 OS' and do dual boot [11:20] plz help me [11:20] Because i cant lose windows [11:20] bonjoyee: No. [11:21] DavidJHeinrich1: Odd, I get a fatal error with cfdisk on my machine but, like with you, I get no error and see no problem with fdisk or parted. [11:21] Jordan_U: k, i'm gonna try rebooting to see if everything is fscked or not [11:21] could you help mee in config of apache for cgi? [11:21] bonjoyee: Maybe i should relog after refreshing the cache? [11:22] nicofs linux users are not too supportive of making windows drivers work in linux. 99.9% chance that they have already developed the drive for linux.

[11:22] incognito, i've got the driver on the netbook. as tar.bz2 ... just unpacking it... [11:23] julia_: cause that earlier command shud have returned a result... [11:23] Anyone?

[11:25] I suspect that the device id is not being read correctly as lsusb does not register anything more than the insertion if the stick [11:25] hi [11:25] Hi [11:25] hi [11:25] Hello, i am currently running Ubuntu off of my USB. I was wondering how i could Re-partition my drive or whatever so that i can run 2 OS' and do dual boot [11:25] incognito, "Error: no rule to make target 'modules'. Stop." [11:25] when we run this command : dpkg -l |grep x [11:25] is my friend here any body know about it ? [11:25] or how to repartition with Gparted.... [11:26] nicofs google that error with the name of the file [11:26] Hello. What package contains 'dd' ? [11:26] bonjoyee, can you tell how do you say virtual cd program and file like iso,mdf,bin [11:26] Oh, sorry, never mind [11:26] It was installed [11:27] XenophiliusPhoen have you tried a live cd of gparted? that works if you have XP AFAIK [11:27] ok, rebooted [11:27] things are fine [11:27] XenophiliusPhoen: Where are you getting stuck? You should be able to install two OS so long as one doesnt overwrite the other and the bootloader has entries for both [11:27] XenophiliusPhoen I recomend that you use qtparted. do you have a cd drive on your box? [11:28] incognito: What is wrong with you? [11:28] my partition numbers got moved around a bit...and I think I figured out thus why fstab now uses UUID's...partition's get moved or renumbered, but their real identity (e.g., as /home or /boot or /) remains the same...and the UUID doesn't change...so this way you're system remains bootable [11:28] randy_: never used any apart from the mount command...also cant speak of mdf..bin...give acetone a try as i said.. [11:28] soreau what is wrong with you? [11:28] Yes, but im suppose to repartition my harddrive before installing a new OS [11:28] Such as Ubuntu [11:29] Otherwise it will overwrite Windows, if im not mistaken [11:29] bonjoyee, sacarlson ,thank you a lot [11:29] How can i find a name of a process for any program? Like Thunderbird? How can i make a shortkey in xbindkeys for Thunderbird to open and check new mails? I know how to edit the xbindkeys config-file, but i cant get the names of of programs (or the processes). Is there any program to find the name of the process (that i can shortcut into it)? And how can I shortcut to open firefox (the command is firefox) And to fill two forms and to press a button? [11:29] Is there a program to check out the names of the forms and buttons? [11:29] incognito: Nothing. I dont recommend nonstandard software for important tasks [11:29] XenophiliusPhoen boot into gparted (or qtparted) then you can shrink the windows partition and make a new one [11:29] XenophiliusPhoen: Ubuntu defaults to installing "sid by side" (dual boot) rezising Windows as part of the install process. [11:30] von_Z: sudo top....well sudo htop is better [11:30] XenophiliusPhoen: Ubuntu will detect other installed OS and help you partition the drive [11:30] von_Z: are you trying to setup shortcuts? [11:30] ....Just curious, if i do happen to lose Windows XP in the process, is there a way.... that i can somehow get my OS back without having the CD? [11:31] XenophiliusPhoen: no [11:31] o_o;; [11:31] XenophiliusPhoen: get your hands on a hard copy! [11:31] Just backup your stuff [11:31] Im not worried about anything else but the OS in general [11:31] what is the default firewall of ubuntu ? [11:31] Or install it in a virtual machine [11:32] XenophiliusPhoen: The OS? [11:32] None [11:32] XenophiliusPhoen no that is not true. You can install ubuntu and it will see the windows and ask you if you want to share the drive 50-50 with the existing OS (windows) [11:32] !firewall | Administrator_ [11:32] Administrator_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [11:32] XenophiliusPhoen: it's like bestbuy doesn't give out recovery disks out anymore....you can fix windows from the recovery boot option (which is another partition) but what happens when my drive crashes? [11:32] XenophiliusPhoen: dont forget to select "manual partitioning" while installing ubuntu..if you happen to do so.. [11:32] Jordan_U, thanks Sir [11:32] bonjoyee: No need to do manual partitioning just to dual boot. [11:32] Administrator_: You're welcome. [11:33] us3r_unfriendly, Thanks. Yes i am trying to do that to my Xubuntu with xdindkey.. I want to open Thunderbird and press "check mail" with shortcuts + I want to open a browser, add text to forms and press a button with a shortcut. Cool would be if the shortcut would press a different button automatically when the next page loads.. :) [11:33] XenophiliusPhoen: it's good to have a hard copy of the os you need...especially in linux. LiveCd's are awesome [11:33] Jordan_U:...yes but wont ubuntu ask for partitioning? === a_ is now known as Ujabuja [11:33] OH i know [11:33] bonjoyee: Ubuntu will attempt to detect other OSes installed in the machine and allow for automagic guided partitioning [11:34] There was this program inside of Windows XP but my computer type is Compaq.... I made recovery discs but is that for the OS or the Compaq system itself? [11:34] von_Z: shell script time [11:34] bonjoyee: The installer asks how much space you want allocated for windows and how much for Ubuntu and sets up the rest (resizing and creating an apropriate / and swap partition) automatically. [11:34] von #! [11:34] It showed a compaq icon on the side..... Idk how to describe it [11:34] us3r_unfriendly, ? :) [11:34] XenophiliusPhoen unless you want to make a seperate partition to share the data files. Then you will need a partitioner. In any case, you should backup you window mydocuments (if that is where you store all your data) when you start messing with the partition tables. [11:34] XenophiliusPhoen: That is really beyond the scope of this channel since it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu [11:35] it sounds like this could be done through a script [11:35] I need advice as to getting my dvb-t usb card recognizing the firmware. The relevant firmware is saved in /lib/firmware, but if I look at dmesg it does not even try to load the firmware [11:35] XenophiliusPhoen: That's generally for the entire OS, for more info on that try ##windows. [11:35] springer: Is there a driver module for the device? [11:35] Partitioning is destructive so if you don't do it right, you can screw things up. Don't do it if you need to rely on that machine [11:36] Partitioning is only destructive if you do it wrong [11:36] XenophiliusPhoen the recovery disk is both for the os and the compac. it is the os configured for that computer. [11:36] Sweet [11:36] XenophiliusPhoen: its for restoring your computer to the factory condition.....will undo all changes u made since...including the disk partitions.. [11:36] Yeah ok whatever [11:37] incognito: This isnt #compaq [11:37] =_= [11:37] soreau not sure, how do I check, I have followed the linux tv instructions up to now [11:37] soreau he is only helping out, im mainly trying to focus on Ubuntu however i also have other worries... [11:38] Sorry if the topic isnt all about Ubuntu, but im new to Dual Booting [11:38] soreau I'm answering his questions so he knows how to do an ubuntu dual boot. So BUT OUT! [11:38] springer: What is the device reported as with lsusb? [11:38] soreau: arent we just helping a guy install ubuntu? [11:38] Have you tried ubuntu in a vm? [11:38] No im running it on a USB right now [11:39] soreau: ID 1f4d:9016 G-Tek Electronics Group [11:39] Is that your primary machine? [11:39] soreau I have been using this: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DigitalNow_TinyTwin_DVB-T_Receiver [11:39] Yes, however it is a piece of.... Just, yeah. [11:40] How do i find out, where my kernel headers are located? [11:40] How big is the hard drive [11:40] 142GB [11:40] Why? [11:41] If you do go ahead with it, defrag your hard drive from windows first [11:41] nicofs: locate headers [11:41] springer: AFAICT, dvb-usb-af9015 is the module name. Does lsmod|grep dvd show any output? [11:42] Pablo1, is it possible not to have kernel headers?!? [11:42] sagaci, Sheesh cant i just install without going back to windows to just defrag =_= or can i defrag it here? [11:42] just successfully moved my home directory to another partition!! [11:42] nicofs: yes... [11:42] nicofs: yes [11:42] XenophiliusPhoen, if you care about your windows install, defrag it from windows === Leon is now known as Guest8750 [11:43] Well do whatever you want but if you want the safe route... [11:43] How do i point the makefile of the driver i need to headers that aren't there?!? [11:43] XenophiliusPhoen, if you dont care if it wont boot again, go ahead and risk it [11:43] XenophiliusPhoen: c0nv1ct: sagaci: From man ntfsresize "Defragmentation is NOT required prior to resizing because the program can relocate any data if needed, without risking data integrity." [11:43] Jordan_U, even data windows itself refuses to move when it defrags? [11:43] nicofs: install them...look for headers in the repo [11:43] Need some help here :) ? [11:43] is there any way to stop gparted checking for errors? [11:44] soreau, no, nothing [11:44] c0nv1ct: Yes. The reason that it refuses to move it is because it's in use (not a problem when you're booted from a linux liveCD). [11:44] bonjoyee, the driver in question is the one to make my internet work [11:44] springer: Try sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 [11:44] nicofs: wifi? [11:44] does someone know how to fix boot issues ? [11:45] !anyone | bagshik [11:45] Pablo1, yes. wifi - and wifi only... no ethernet [11:45] bagshik: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:45] nicofs: have you installed build-essential package...its on the installation disk..i think it has them [11:45] What boot issues, specifically [11:45] Jordan_U, makes sense, but then why does resizing the partition sometimes bork a windows install? [11:45] well I installed Ubuntu after installing Windows 7 [11:45] bonjoyee, and no disk drive... [11:45] So pretty much all i have to do is click install partition manually set to what i want the GB to be for the partition and it will be over with and i will still have my Windows XP OS and please say yes because im tech-retarded sometimes. [11:45] but now I can't boot Windows 7 anymore [11:45] nicofs: an iso? [11:45] there is a grub menu when I start the computer [11:46] banshee / amarok / rhythmbox .. help me decide a music player [11:46] but I can only boot Ubuntu [11:46] XenophiliusPheon if you backup your mydocuments folder (assuming that you save all you data in that folder) then you won't loose anything if you windows doesn't boot after resize. you will just have to reinstall, but partition before installation in that case. [11:46] mount it....using mount command.. [11:46] c0nv1ct: Because any type of resizing carries some risk. [11:46] soreau, still npothing [11:46] springer: nothing what where? [11:46] bonjoyee, custom ARM Kernel... [11:46] If someone knows how to fix that, please answer me ><... [11:47] nicofs: im out of this;) [11:47] soreau sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 returns nothing [11:47] bagshik, did you try `sudo update-grub2` yet? [11:47] wait I will try it :) [11:48] springer: No output means success. Now check lsmod to see the module loaded and dmesg for any additional messages [11:48] XenophiliusPheon in my experience, manual installation often doesn't work unless you have already partitioned the drive. Technically it's supposed to work, but on the multiple installations I have done it has never worked unless I partitiion and format before I install. [11:48] bagshik, it will list the OSes it finds, if Win7 is listed, you should be good to go [11:48] c0nv1ct: Resizing can also simply present physical problems with the drive as data is being read and re-written (and to a different area of the disk). [11:48] Bag, can you still access your windows part in nautilus [11:49] how do I do that ? [11:49] in terminak ? [11:49] l* [11:49] WINDOWS 7 is listed :) [11:49] on /dev/sda1 [11:50] bagshik, was windows 7 listed when you booted last? [11:50] bagshik, in the grub menu i mean [11:50] yes it was but now it's GRUB2 [11:50] bagshik, k, just making sure that was the problem... wasnt sure if i understood correctly [11:50] bagshik: What happens when you try to boot windows? [11:50] wait I will tell [11:51] XenophiliusPheon if you use the default automatic ubuntu repartition, it works pretty good from what I have heard from many other ubuntu users. [11:51] I'm gonna restart now [11:51] can I talk with you in private if you have time convict ? [11:51] Bag, make sure os-prober is installed and then run update grub [11:51] or Jordan [11:51] os-prober ? [11:51] Im not going to try the default, because i heard it causes problems x.x [11:51] soreau output: http://pastebin.com/Yxfq4vZ4 [11:51] how do I get it sagaci ? [11:51] !pm | bagshik [11:51] bagshik: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [11:51] bagshik, you already did that man... go ahead and reboot and see [11:52] ok ;) [11:52] ok [11:52] springer: Looks good. Now can you use the device? [11:52] bagshik: That said, if you're having problems following the conversation I don't mind helping in PM (but I'd prefer to stay in-channel). [11:52] soreau, no [11:53] springer: Well that is as far as I can help you since I am not familiar with the specific type of device you are using [11:53] soreau thanks for everything, I'll keep trying [11:53] Bag, i had the same problem before try sudo apt-get install os-prober === silence is now known as Guest52215 [11:54] springer: Note that the modprobe command loaded the driver. lsmod lists the currently loaded modules and dmesg outputs your system log information (stuff like driver errors etc) [11:55] Ugh now im wondering if i should even bother =_= [11:55] XenophiliusPheon then I recommend that you use qtparted or just straight parted or fdisk to partition, because every time I ever tried to use gparted, it never worked. [11:55] I just rebooted, here is the error : Windows can't start and Status : 0xc000000f [11:56] It says try to insert the Windows 7 dvd and repair the computer [11:56] So it's on the menu now? [11:56] yes it is :) [11:56] XenophiliusPhoen: If you follow the instructions in the installer and use automatic partitioning it's very easy and 99% chance partitioning will go fine and you'll still be able to boot windows. And for the off 1% you have recovery disks. [11:56] Insert the dvd then [11:57] the problem is when I try to repair [11:57] it says that Windows can't find any OS on your hard driver to repair [11:57] it's really weird :S [11:57] is it because of GRUB ? [11:58] bagshik: No, by that point GRUB has long since finished its job. [11:58] Maybe you might be better off to reinstall windows [11:58] yes I tried that too :S [11:58] the installer couldn't find any hard drive [11:59] I don't understand the problem [11:59] bagshik: can you boot ubuntu on that computer? [11:59] Reinstall will wipe the slate clean [11:59] what do you mean ? [11:59] XenophiliusPhoen I agree with Jordan_U. I know a lot of really super uber hard core linux users who have told me many times that the automatic partitioning is very reliable. I just never use it myself, becuase I always want to have a data drive that is shared by all OS's on my box. [11:59] I'm on Ubuntu now ? [11:59] well first of all, how can I access all my files on ubuntu ? [11:59] bagshik: Try asking in ##windows. [12:00] on all the partitions of the hard drive [12:00] is there a way ? [12:00] Your windows files? [12:00] bagshik: Places > Computer [12:00] ok wait let's see [12:01] Obv not [12:01] bagshik: could you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? [12:02] bonjoyee: use pastebin though.. [12:02] :> [12:04] bagshik you should be able to see all your partitions in ubuntu [12:04] I see the most of them [12:04] but not the partition with windows on it [12:04] so I can't access my previous files on Windows [12:04] I'm trying to find a way but I'm new to ubuntu >< [12:04] bagshik: could you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? [12:05] ok [12:05] Hi all... I'm trying to compile entagle (www.entangle-photo.org) but it gives me an error message that hal is not the right version (>= 0.50 ... but it's 0.54-ubuntu according to synaptic) [12:05] !pastebin bafshik [12:06] !pastebin | bagshik [12:06] bagshik: 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.

[12:07] soreau, how do i do that :s [12:07] Hi folks. I have been struggling with an issue for a while now. I bought a toshiba satellite l670 notebook, with windows 7 and downloaded ubuntu 10.10. I installed ubuntu 10.10 from the CD, this works fine, also had an internet connection. With the CD, I can even run linux without installing without problems (with gnome too). However, after installing I can only run ubuntu in fail safe graphics mode. If I run it normally, it does not [12:07] bagshik read those instructions [12:07] craig_: Boot into recovery mode and drop to a root shell then run that command [12:08] here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/545225/ [12:08] soreau, im on recovery now [12:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/545226/ <- trying to run ./configure on the entangle-0.2.0 source. Anyone with a clue? [12:08] Also, every few seconds about 13 lines popup right through my text. And, when I look through the logs at startup, it says : Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found. [12:08] ppa-purge is an unknown command? [12:08] bagshik, do `sudo fdisk -l` to list all partitions, you should see the NTFS one your windows is on [12:08] ok ;) [12:08] jurgentje, well it's pretty self-explanatory. "Package 'hal' not found" [12:09] craig_: Install it. [12:09] ah ok ty [12:09] When I run startx manually in the console, I get a black screen and nothing happens. It only works with fail safe graphics mode in recovery mode. [12:09] soreau, sory, its inferus, cant change nick =-] [12:09] dnivra, it is installed, it's version 0.54-ubuntu [12:09] soreau, now i've done that, how do i put the normal xorg back on [12:09] jurgentje, Do read even below-"you may set the environment variables...." [12:09] or does it do that automatically?> [12:09] craig_: You have done what? [12:10] bagshik, if you see it listed, note it's /dev/sd?? device address, you can use that to mount the filesystem so you can access the files [12:10] ppa-purge [12:10] I can't see any NTFS on the list, here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/545227/ [12:10] does it swap it back to normal xorg stuff [12:10] #ubuntu [12:10] dnivra, well... there's my question... what should I set those variables to? [12:10] jurgentje, "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" i guess. [12:10] I don't have a clue how to figure that one out [12:10] craig_: Yes it should completely restore to official ubuntu packages [12:10] bagshik, you are using SFS? o.O [12:10] jurgentje, neither do I :). maybe you should check the forums. [12:10] bagshik: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [12:10] jurgentje, forums of entangle that is. [12:11] bagshik: looks like what ubuntu detects is your recovery partition? [12:11] what's SFS ? [12:11] soreau, thanks [12:11] jurgentje, entangle also has an IRC channel #entangle on OFTC. [12:11] now.. how else can i get WoW to work ;-) [12:11] I'm confused guys ><... [12:11] I've bad fonts in Google Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, Anyone have problem like me ? ( Fonts are unclear in some pages, although the font size is big enough in the settings of Chrome ) [12:11] yeah, they're not that alive, but I'll post something there anyway. Thanks. And about the channel... I joined it, and became op and only member :p [12:11] hi guys... I have issues with open source radeon drivers, anyone available for help? glxinfo says that I have direct rendering enabled, but with software rasterizer -.- [12:11] Anyone read my wall of text above? ^^ [12:12] so I left that server and channel again [12:12] jurgentje, you joined #entangle on OFTC and you became OP? [12:12] yeps, it was empty [12:12] tried to fix it but it didn't work for me :/ I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 with Mobile 5870 [12:12] craig_: Get a better card? Im surprised anything went wrong. My rv350 (radeon 9600) works great with xorg-edgers and several games work that have never worked in the past [12:12] craig_: Works great with gallium driver [12:12] I cant access the grub boot menu, when i press "esc" at boot i get an error Glib-warning '':pwuid? [12:13] jurgentje, wow! now that is surprising. [12:13] dnivra, you tell me :D [12:13] craig_: What was buggered about it? [12:13] bagshik, when you resized the partitions, did you make room in front of the windows partition instead of behind it? [12:13] Hello everyone [12:13] wait let me remember >< [12:13] jurgentje, well i have no clue; lemme check. [12:14] bagshik, to be quite honest, your partition layout is totally confusing [12:14] I did the partitioning in Windows [12:14] Hi there, i ran some commands from another terminal (which is still in use), i cant check bash history as ive not ended the session, is there a way I can see what i typed in an active session? I'm logged in as the same user.. [12:14] really ? [12:14] bagshik, your swap looks bigger than your root filesystem [12:14] i have HP G62 laptop with broadcom BCM4313 wifi chipset [12:14] bagshik, by *a lot* [12:14] soreau, wouldnt startx [12:14] i'm a real noob with ubuntu >< [12:14] i cannot find drivers for it for ubuntu [12:14] i need urgent help [12:14] thx for help ppl [12:15] craig_: That doesnt sound right at all. What was the error? Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old? [12:15] 1 mo [12:15] hey anyone [12:15] jurgentje, maybe somebody could help. i don't know :). [12:15] bagshik, you did that in windows? it doesn't look like either SFS partition is big enough for windows [12:15] please help me with ubuntu drivers for wifi [12:15] but what's the problem here :S ? [12:16] and what's SFS ? [12:16] Spoilt: Which card is it as reported by lspci? [12:16] cause I never saw it in Windows [12:16] dnivra, thanks for looking with me :D ... I just wanted to join their mailing list... and got the developer's email address... I'll mail with him :) [12:16] I cant access the grub boot menu, when i press "esc" at boot i get an error "Glib-warning" and the computer just continues to boot [12:16] oh... it seems that 58xx cards aren't supported -. [12:16] -.- [12:17] bagshik, SFS is probably dynamic disks [12:17] misreckoning: you mean radeon hd58xx? [12:17] jurgentje, could you try install libhal-dev and try? [12:17] i'm really confused ><... [12:17] soreau: yeah [12:17] hey help me with BCM4313 [12:17] please [12:17] I should've never installed ubuntu [12:17] When I get a "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration -> Fatal server error: no screns found" error when I try to boot ubuntu and only get a console but can start ubuntu from the CD or in fail safe graphics mode, what does that mean? [12:17] bagshik is the windows a new install, or was it already existing? [12:17] it was already there [12:17] soreau: any ideas? [12:18] misreckoning: It is supported by the proprietary fglrx driver as well as the open radeon driver upstream [12:18] I can format and reinstall everything but I need my files [12:18] Ubuntu is Great [12:18] and in ubuntu I don't know the way to access them [12:18] how to install drivers for BCM4313 chipset wifi [12:18] ! broadcom | Spoilt [12:18] Spoilt: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [12:18] dnivra, good idea, trying it right away :) [12:18] ubuntu is good but apparently not in dualboot [12:18] bagshik, did you backup your files? [12:18] soreau: yes I've been using fglrx so far, but now I wanted to try the open driver... [12:18] bagshik, ubuntu dual boots fine, i dont know what you did to end up with this [12:18] no I didn't, I know it's stupid [12:18] If you are not sure about it run it in (VB) Virtual Box and ease into it.... [12:18] bagshik did you pastebint the sudo blkid output? I didn't see it. [12:18] soreau: also tried the ppa repository with newer radeon drivers but it didn't help, so, whats that upstream? [12:19] dnivra, thanks... That got me an item further :D [12:19] jurgentje, np :) [12:19] what did I have to do ? [12:19] tell me the command [12:19] how I didn't think of installing the dev files myself. [12:19] * opensauce needs assistance... what is the correct way to install sshd from the shell with pacman - or is it installed already? [12:19] misreckoning: Then you will want to install xorg-edgers repo and subsequently, libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental [12:19] I'm gonna try with fixboot [12:19] jurgentje, neither did I. just google suggested trying that :) [12:19] soreau: got it [12:19] hey soreau and ubottu i have read this whole thing but was still unable to solve the problem [12:19] c0nv1ct: is testdisk an option for bagshik? [12:19] bagshik open the terminal and type: sudo blkid [12:19] ok [12:20] Spoilt, uBOTtu is a bot :) [12:20] misreckoning: But you must completely remove fglrx since it does not allow the open driver to work [12:20] bonjoyee, maybe worth a try, but it looks like it was written over [12:20] can u ppl explain to me step by step [12:20] right soreau will nopaste the log [12:20] dnivra, what search terms did you use? [12:20] soreau: done that [12:20] guys, is ubuntu netbook remix only runs with netbooks? can i also install this on a regular laptop? [12:20] bagshik and then copy and paste the output to pastebin. [12:20] bagshik, that fdisk output shows that the only non-ubuntu space totals 300mb [12:20] i am a noob in ubuntu pls help here [12:20] soreau: I'll try harder... tty if anything changes [12:20] jurgentje, just searched for the error shown "Package requirements (hal >= 0.5.0) were not met:" :) [12:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/545228/ [12:20] c0nv1ct: as if its a high level format..the data shud be there? [12:21] misreckoning: Also you will likely want a latest kernel, the very latest not provided by any ppa though the kernel pps is better than nothing [12:21] Oh my God really convict ? :S... [12:21] bagshik, unless it was overwritten, then it may not be as easy to recover [12:21] soreau, http://pastie.org/private/qqulebu7pu2ffw0nsm4slq [12:21] wups, that was for bonjoyee [12:21] soreau: 2.6.35 here [12:21] gharz, i run normal ubuntu on my msi netbook [12:21] I'm gonna try and reboot [12:21] I will let you know [12:21] bonjoyee, actually, since his swap is the largest partition, it may not have been written hardly at all [12:21] soreau pls help [12:22] step by step [12:22] bonjoyee, most of the data can probably be recovered from that area [12:22] gharz: netbook version is normal ubuntu + unity [12:22] bagshik google search for supergrub2 bootdisk [12:22] dnivra, anyway thanks alot [12:22] gharz: so feel free to run it on whatever you want :) [12:22] gobbe & rooks: i see. thanks for the info [12:22] c0nv1ct: i strongly recommend testdisk here..nothing to lose!! [12:22] ok [12:22] bonjoyee, testdisk is always worth a try [12:23] craig_: 1) Why are you using an xorg.conf file? 2) Why are you trying to load fglrx? It hasnt supported your card for years [12:23] it has saved my rear many times [12:23] hi, has anyone here used sakis3g ? [12:23] gobbe: but i do have 1 question... i am already running ubuntu on my laptop using wubi... can i install netbook remix with wubi as well? [12:23] soreau, i just did what u said :s [12:23] hey pls help me with broadcom drivers [12:23] step by step [12:23] !broadcom | Spoilt take a read first [12:23] Spoilt take a read first: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [12:23] i just don't wanna mess with my current settings... i just want to make sure that running installing 2 ubuntu using wubi if this is possible [12:24] gharz: i dont know about wubi, i prefer normal installation on second partition if i want to save windows also [12:24] craig_: I never told you to use an xorg.conf file. You should not even have an xorg.conf file [12:24] soreau, have no idea matey, honestly [12:24] what should i be on / have? [12:24] gharz: if you have normal ubuntu already just insall unity [12:24] gharz: then you can run normal gnome or unity [12:24] gobbe: oooohhhh [12:25] gobbe: does it mean that netbook remix is just the same as ubuntu with gnome except for unity? [12:25] bagshik: c0nv1ct: /dev/sda4 seems to be the hp recovery partition...see if we have recovery option in BIOS? [12:25] i wanna know how bagshik ended up with a 228gb swap [12:25] LMAO [12:25] bonjoyee, but it is only 100mb [12:25] c0nv1ct: oh...is it? [12:25] between sda2 and sda3 there are like 300gb of unused space [12:26] gobbe: i thought netbook remix has a different boot procedure === risc is now known as eurisko [12:26] c0nv1ct:hmm.. [12:26] I cant access the grub boot menu, when i press "esc" at boot i get an error "Glib-warning" and the computer just continues to boot [12:26] soreau, should i not be on xorg? [12:26] wish^, hold shift [12:26] bonjoyee, his rootfs, sda3 is 23gb [12:26] hi, i've got a problem with intel tvout and ubuntu 10.10, my screen flicker like hell when something move at screen, i've tried with vesa drier and no problem .. any idea ? [12:26] Hi, I have a device that identifies itself as a printer, causing ubuntu to search for drivers every time I turn it on. How can I stop this? [12:27] i think that fdisk output is the most confusing i've ever seen, doesnt make a bit of sense [12:27] really bazhang? [12:27] c0nv1ct: any way to restore the partition table? apart from testdisk? [12:27] wish^, yes [12:27] bonjoyee, testdisk would be simplest [12:27] craig_: X is smart enough to know what is best for most setups. You should get rid of /etc/X11/xorg.conf === serdar is now known as Guest33939 [12:27] bonjoyee, there is photorec [12:28] oh? [12:28] craig_: Also your log cuts off some lines but I suspect you are booting with radeon.modeset=0 which is not allowing gallium to work at all [12:28] photorec is based on testdisk ^^ [12:28] ah [12:28] Ty bazhang!! :d [12:28] soreau, possibly m8 [12:28] i need to use nomodeset otherwise my laptop doesnt boot... [12:28] or at least, i did? [12:28] craig_ > same problem for me (sort of) [12:29] but it looks like my computer wont even start in recovery mode [12:29] bagshik if you download the super grub2 boot disk, and run it and boots, then that pretty much tell you that you can fix your problem with grub: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/category/download/supergrub2diskdownload/ [12:29] i need to get rid of kms drivers but for intel [12:29] craig_: Well try reinstalling xorg-edgers and the experimental mesa package then reboot and do not use modeset=0 [12:29] hmm ok [12:29] and ppa-purge if it fucks up? [12:30] Ok so i removed the Nvidia x server drivers and now i cant get a gui past the ubuntu loading screen. Is there any way i can start the computer to the command line and reload some drivers? [12:30] craig_: because without modesetting, you are using the old driver which is not going to do anything for you [12:30] ah ok [12:30] right will try again soreau [12:30] where did you get that huge install command for gallium [12:30] can't find irc log :d [12:30] I have a sitecom WL-1200 wifi card on my laptop does anyone know how I can get ubuntu to use it? [12:31] craig_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental-dbg && sudo reboot [12:31] tyvm [12:31] np [12:31] right brb, again [12:31] :D [12:31] * craig_ tries not to break laptop === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [12:34] Anyone?

Any ideas what i can do to fix this issue? Ive tried to start the computer in recovery mode with no luck [12:36] craig_: Show the output of glxinfo|grep renderer [12:36] ok 1 mo [12:36] soreau, it says i need to install mesa-utils [12:36] that ok? [12:36] c0nv1ct how did you determine the size of baghik's partitions. I have been looking at his pastebins, and I don't see where that information is reflected. [12:37] craig_: Yes === vhs is now known as vhs12345 [12:37] soreau, i dont know if its just me, but this driver seems to be giving me better colour definition in linux [12:37] the display seems clearer / better === vhs12345 is now known as vh1233 [12:38] MESA DRI R300 soreau [12:38] Hi, I think I found a bug but I want someone here to confirm.

[12:41] oh? [12:41] Anyone got any idea how I can get a sitecom wireless wl-120 card to work with ubuntu [12:41] vh1233: what is your command line [12:41] craig_: The experimental package should have installed the gallium driver which should show up in glxinfo renderer string [12:41] oh [12:41] soreau, i wonder if i dont have the repository.. [12:42] craig_: You do because the -experimental package is provided by xorg-edgers [12:42] oh ok [12:42] so, it's provided me with the wrong version of driver? [12:43] craig_: So it seems you are using the new drivers but not gallium. [12:43] scp gradient vhs@vhs-laptop:~/Documents/ [12:43] oh [12:43] soreau, thats weird [12:44] craig_: Oh wait maybe not...

Any ideas what i can do to fix this issue? Ive tried to start the computer in recovery mode with no luck [12:46] !xorg [12:46] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[12:49] craig_: Or actually, I think xorg-edgers installs a kernel now too so you will need to reboot [12:49] hmm [12:49] ok [12:49] i will brb then ! [12:49] :) [12:49] vh1233:that user may have it's own ~/.ssh/ssh_config [12:49] will twinview be able to work on ubuntu 10.10, if a have ati mobility radeon x1400 graphic card? [12:51] mrxtiian: i dont have such a file or directory [12:52] kubanc, does it work now? [12:52] it's ~/.ssh/config [12:53] vh1233: have you tried to use ssh eg ssh vhs@ [12:53] kubanc: Twinview is specific to the proprietary nvidia driver so no. [12:53] mrxtian: yes and it says that it cannot connect because port 22 is closed [12:53] kubanc: Instead, the 1400 would use the open radeon driver which has much better support using xrandr 1.2 which the nvidia driver still does not support [12:54] vh123: is the service running sshd? [12:54] soreau, ! SGI [12:54] as my vendor [12:54] soreau, let's say enabling dual monitors, or enabling s-video... I know that twinview comes from nvidia, so i agree with you, that it won't work with ATI [12:54] vh1233: check local machine for sshd running "sudo lsof -i :22" [12:54] craig_: Show the complete output of glxinfo|grep renderer [12:55] vh1233, or even "service ssh status" [12:55] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS600 7942) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL DRI2 [12:55] kubanc: I use S-video and dual monitors with no problems [12:55] UnholyTerror, right not dual monitors view is not working. It's working well in Windows XP, so connection between computer and TV is not false [12:55] craig_: Nope, still not right. It needs to report gallium [12:55] huh [12:55] soreau, what graphic card do you have? [12:55] soreau, client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI [12:56] is that not gallium :S [12:56] craig_: That is meaningless [12:56] ah ok [12:56] vh1233: if your local machine is behind a router: have you set portforwarding (WAN 22 -> your local machine 22)? [12:56] so why am i not getting gallium =[ [12:56] craig_: Make sure your experimental package shows 7.10.0+git20101215.dbb679e5-0ubuntu0sarvatt~maverick [12:56] llutz_: no i didnt [12:56] huh [12:56] craig_: Make sure to apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after installing xorg-edgers [12:56] it says COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME [12:56] ssh 1899 vhs 3u IPv4 21865 0t0 TCP vhs.alex.stw.uni-erlangen.de:54155->tcdx031.chemie.uni-erlangen.de:ssh (ESTABLISHED) [12:57] kubanc: rv350 (Radeon 8600) [12:57] soreau, what about dist-upgrade [12:57] kubanc, what about System->Monitors? you can't enable second monitor?

[13:03] vh1233: portforwarding is only needed if you're NATed. if your local-IP is accessible from WAN you don't need it.

[13:49] Jragon: its just a ladspa-plugin. you need ann application for your task which uses ladspa [13:50] Gilos, ...all depends on your needs and likes :) [13:50] vespertine, but its because of KMS [13:50] Do you know of one like that then? [13:50] desktop with a x1200 hangs ramdonmly [13:50] WinstonSmith, that game is so addicting :) [13:50] bencahill_ :P [13:50] so I had to buy a 4670, solving the problem [13:51] Jragon: nope, i don't even know exactly what ladspa, AMP etc is [13:51] Shame.

[14:12] Jragon: yes [14:12] How? [14:12] and with all that coming changes in uuntu 11.04 hope will be a solution for ATI legacy cards [14:12] soreau, i mean like rearing with movies for example [14:12] *tearing [14:12] Jragon: you can connect the audio output of your machine to your mic input [14:12] *ubuntu [14:13] Erm?

[14:14] bencahill_: no idea ? [14:14] soreau, ty [14:14] How do you do that. I'm using Audacity to record [14:15] Jragon, mm ... open a terminal type alsamixer to see if any sliders are muted or tuned down there may be an option in there for it ... i will check here [14:15] vespertine: thats more of an ati/X driver type developent. not really ubuntu Specific. BUt if ubuntu ever switches over to 'wayland' well.. that will be a whole nother level of chaos. :) [14:15] WinstonSmith: If nothing else, it is faster which is naturally better [14:15] Jragon: alsamixer [14:15] MichealH, So I have tried installing the ATI drivers but says X server unable to connect [14:15] Dr_Willis: lol [14:15] drew_: For what card model?

[14:23] no, its just rhe text in the console [14:24] soreau, removing fglrx, restoring radeon and pastbin? [14:24] drew_: It depends on how many different ways you installed it [14:24] hetkat: use tab to highlight the ok. press enter [14:24] many thanks! [14:24] hetkat, ah mm generallly I install sun java via synaptic which then has dialog with that "OK' on it [14:24] not very good usability IMO tho [14:26] ! pastebin | drew_ [14:26] drew_: 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. [14:28] Hi. How do I get rid of gnome-utils, without removing ubuntu-desktop ? [14:30] Jemt: you can safely remove the ubuntu-desktop package and reinstall it later. It is meta-package, basically a text file. [14:30] Hello, I have the HP All-in-One scanner (+printer + copy). Every time I try to scan I only get the xsane seg fault message. The HP drivers are latest and Ubuntu is 10.10. Also scanimage fails the same way, so it sounds like a driver issue.Does anyone know a fix to this one? [14:30] Jemt, out of curiosity....why do you want to remove them? [14:30] Installing it would reinstall gnome-utils, IdleOne [14:31] drew_: I have to go but after you finish removing fglrx (uninstall fglrx packages and look for an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati if you used a .run file to install it) then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then something like xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --right-of VGA-0 [14:31] Jemt: what coz said :) [14:31] coz_: I'm remastering Ubuntu. I'm creating an ISO with a minimum of software, and I don't want e.g. gnome-dictionary to show up in the application menu [14:31] nirazio: Mine works fine. Does dmesg show any interesting messages? [14:31] soreau, ty for the help [14:31] Jemt, I am wondering if you can control what shows up in the menu ahead of time by editing it with alacarte [14:32] Jemt, although I havent tried ,,, it seems that by editing alacarte and which menu items will be in there should transfer over to the iso [14:32] coz_: Perhaps, but removing the software I don't want is prefered :) [14:33] Jemt, not sure then ... You may want to scoot over the #gnome on the server or the official one on gimpnet #gnome [14:33] Jemt, are you using remastersys? [14:34] coz_: I don't believe this is a problem related to Gnome. After all, gnome-utils depends on ubuntu-desktop which has nothing to do with Gnome :) [14:34] coz_: Nope, doing it by hand [14:34] coz_: Extracting ISO, chrooting, etc [14:34] soreau: no [14:34] I have got ardour but nothing is being recorded D= [14:34] Jemt, mmm.... then I am at aloss to help then,, I have not done this is for quite a while [14:35] Jragon: You need to install jackd. I recommend qjackctl [14:35] Jemt: if the packages are not required then you can remove them using autoremove. or use computer janitor or deborphan. don't know if it will work here [14:35] Jemt: remove ubuntu-desktop as a dependency of ubuntu-desktop? don't ask me how :/ [14:35] you know what i meant there :) [14:35] coz_: Okay, thanks anyways, I appreciate it :) [14:35] remove ubuntu-desktop as a dependency of gnome-utils [14:35] I got the newest version. [14:36] soreau, here's the pastbin http://paste.ubuntu.com/545283/ [14:36] Jragon: You have to start jack [14:36] How? [14:36] I have somehting called Jack controller. [14:36] IdleOne: Dependencies probably can't be changed. I'm not that much into the inners of Ubuntu :) [14:36] drew_: Try xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of DVI-0 [14:37] I've just read a few documents on remastering, and I have a handful of years experience with Debian - that's it :) [14:37] Jemt: apt-get source gnome-utils, then delete ubuntu-desktop from the debian/control Dependencies: line, then `debuild` and you get a new package [14:37] Jragon: If you really want help, try their channel #ardour [14:38] Jemt: you could make it a recommend instead of a depend, see what maco said :) [14:38] Jemt: should sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-utils first though so you get the build dependencies so debuild will work [14:38] Interesting, thanks for the suggestion :) [14:38] Jragon, let me type up a text file that you will most likely have to use hold on [14:39] um.. a small crowd from ~guest@174.36.234.43-static.reverse.softlayer.com ? [14:40] Jragon, download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/SOUND%20ADD%20USER/set%20memory%20to%20unlimited and I have typed in the directions with it [14:40] Ok so i removed the Nvidia x server drivers and now i cant get a gui past the ubuntu loading screen. Any ideas what i can do to fix this issue? Ive tried to start the computer in recovery mode with no luck.. Any help is greatly appreciated [14:40] wish^: What happens when you try recovery mode? [14:40] anybody can help me,I had scim chinese input in my ubuntu,tonight i uninstall it ,and install the fcitx,but now i can make it out with contrl_space ,neither ibus [14:41] starts loading and goes to black screen with nothing [14:41] can not [14:41] wish^: I guess you will have to boot a live cd and chroot in to fix it [14:42] i dont have a livecd [14:42] Well then you are screwed [14:42] get Radeon next time [14:42] maco: Although.. I don't feel quite comfortable changing dependencies. Don't you think the dependency is there for a reason? I could easily break something [14:42] wish^: can you get into the terminal login? [14:42] Jemt: yes it is probably there for a reason [14:42] wish^, why did you remove them? [14:43] Could be to make installation easier. Who knows :) [14:43] Jemt: though im pretty sure its a new dependency... i used to be able to install gnome-utils on kubuntu without getting all of ubuntu [14:43] I removed them because i needed to do a fresh install of the drivers because of some issues with screen resolution and panning.. [14:43] hi [14:43] maco: Good, it's worth a shot :) [14:43] Jemt: look at the debian/changelog and see who added it as a dependency? maybe they gave a reason? [14:43] coz_ I have done that now, should it be finished and work? [14:43] which channel about android? [14:44] which channel about android? [14:44] Basically when i start the computer now, it starts up like normal and gives me the standard purple ubuntu loading screen then it just goes black. I hold shift and choose recovery mode and it starts doing its normal recovery loading sequence and then it just stops [14:44] kinctan_: /msg alis help [14:44] maco: Good idea. Thank you :) [14:44] Jragon, it should be set .. you could restart x just to be sure [14:45] wish^, can you get to a terminal, like ctrl f2 or alt ctrl f2? [14:45] hello, i am using ubuntu 10.10 and i don't have acroread in my repository, how can i add it? [14:45] how can I set windows to default setting in grub, ubuntu 10.10? [14:46] i know you can set windows as defualt by the msconfig menu in windows [14:46] craiova: edit your grub and make Windows your default boot [14:46] !grub | craiova [14:46] craiova: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [14:47] UnholyTerror: ctrl+alt+f2 gives me a white line in the top left as if its loading a terminal then goes black [14:47] hi, i need to set up a bash script to run with a keyboard shortcut, and the bash script uses wmctrl to resize windows. but the shortcut doesnt work. what should be the command in the keyboard shortcut? [14:47] Coz_ still nothing. [14:47] UnholyTerror: its as if x no longer has a config file to read and cannot display any picture [14:48] wish^, try f3 [14:48] UnholyTerror: I can tell by looking at the resolution of the ubuntu logo on the loading screen that its been reverted to a 800x600 [14:48] Jemt: is this for Maverick? gnome-utils certainly doesn't depend on ubuntu-desktop. Did you mean another package? [14:48] ok, try ctrl alt f3 [14:48] f4 f5 f6... [14:49] maco: Odd, 'apt-cache showpkg gnome-utils' does not reveal any dependencies to ubuntu-desktop. Ubuntu-desktop depends on gnome-utils, but a reverse dependency (ubuntu-desktop > gnome-utlis) should not force me to remove ubuntu-desktop [14:49] Coz_ Any idea whats wrong with it? [14:49] Jragon, mmm I would scoot over to the #ardour channel and speak with them... its likely a setting that is being ignored [14:50] hink you misunderstand the dependency relationship? [14:50] Ok. [14:50] What irc is it on? [14:50] Jemt: I think you misunderstand the dependency relationship? [14:50] Jragon, it is on freenode so where you type here just type /join #ardour [14:51] i have changed my account password through root user with this command "passwd" but when i relogin with new password to a root user i can't able to login [14:51] crimsun: Possibly. But what am I missing? ubuntu-desktop depends on gnome-utils, not the other way around. [14:51] Thanks [14:51] i have changed my account password through root user with this command "passwd" but when i relogin with new password to a root user i can't able to login but when i try the old password then i able to use root acess PLz help me [14:52] UnholyTerror: none of those works.. When im in the grub menu though, it displays 4 things i can load, 2.6.32-35-generic + same in safe mode and also 2.6.31-17-generic + safe mode [14:52] vipul, did you use sudo passwd [14:52] no [14:52] vipul, then that is the issue...did you try the old password? [14:52] coz_, i just went insde root and use this command passwd<------- [14:52] All the same, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package, so I could easily remove it without the lose of packages. But the description says: "It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed." [14:53] So I'm afraid I might break the upgrade mechanism [14:53] Hi Folks. So I have a windows key on my laptop. I must admit I find the windows key handy. How can I customise ubuntu so that when I press the windows key it "pulls down" the menu at top left for application/ places / system? [14:53] yes with old password i can able to acess again my root [14:53] but new password is not working [14:53] UnholyTerror: if i choose either of the newest installs, recovery mode or not.. its like the screen just turns itself of [14:53] Jemt: that's just so if they add packages you get them [14:53] i have ubuntu-server 9.10 running how can i upgrade to 10.10 ? [14:53] gavin_: why not just hit alt-f1? [14:53] vipul, ok so open a terminal in your user account and type sudo passwd if you want a new user password,, if you are trying to use root as a login option that is a different matter [14:54] Random832: Oh, I see! Then it's probably not a problem if I remove it [14:54] Random832: Believe me, I really appreciate that information :) [14:54] !pm | guest1 [14:54] guest1: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:54] Random832 : did not know that command so I have learnt something today.. Now for efficiency how can I get to that with 1 press with the "windows key"? [14:54] bezao: you first upgrade to 10.04, then upgrade to 10.10 [14:54] downloads, music, video ect not opening from places help me [14:54] Jeruvy okay, how? [14:55] gavin_: the problem is the way the keyboard model for linux works, you'd then lose all the win+letter shortcuts [14:55] UnholyTerror: ok when i chose the older version of ubuntu i managed to get a terminal [14:55] bezao: Start update manager and choose upgrade. [14:55] coz_, what about my ssh daemon (ssh-daemon is insralled on my ubuntu) will it also change if i change my account password ? [14:55] Jeruvy i'm using ubuntu-server, i have to type everything :D [14:56] Jeruvy apt-get upgrade? [14:56] vipul, that one I most likely cant help with [14:56] UnholyTerror: but thats 2.6.31-17 [14:56] !pm | guest1 [14:56] guest1: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:56] UnholyTerror: so its an older kernel [14:56] bezao: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core - then - sudo do-release upgrade [14:56] gavin_: but if you want, you can go to gconf-editor, and in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings change panel_main_menu [14:56] coz_, oh oki thanks for the help [14:56] yeats okays [14:56] Slow box. Only a server. Want to kill the GUI and keep processes running till I do startx again. Possible? [14:57] bezao: that's sudo do-release-upgrade - I missed a dash there [14:58] UnholyTerror: when i run startx i get a (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) [14:58] yeats yup, hehe thanks upgrading now :) [14:58] does ubuntu have any restoring option in case of power failure [14:59] FishFace: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop <------- though not completely sure that your processes will stay started. [14:59] anybody here!!! [14:59] rigved: I will give it a try. Thanks. [15:00] who do I have to contact for a correction of a typo on the official website?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:00] does ubuntu have any restoring option in case of power failure [15:00] such like safe mode [15:01] kanhiya: recovery mode [15:01] how to do that/ [15:01] yeats what happends to my ubuntu if the internet connection fails? lost everything? [15:01] during the upgrade [15:02] bezao: did it fail? or is that hypothetical? [15:02] wish^: i am nw to linux [15:02] kanhiya: when you boot, you can select "recovery mode" [15:02] yeats hypothetical, cuz my internet is a shit! === root is now known as Guest37379 [15:02] !language | bezao [15:02] bezao: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.. [15:02] it is totally in command line [15:02] kanhiya: press "Shift" key before the system begins to boot. then select recovery mode [15:02] T_T [15:03] sorry IdleOne [15:03] rigved: thanks [15:03] kanhiya: reboot and hold down the SHIFT key, that will bring up the grub menu and you can select to boot the kernel with recovery mode [15:03] who is indonesian [15:03] bezao: ok - I would wait until that happens, then ask :-) [15:03] bezao: you can restart it during the download phase. but in the install phase it will be in inconsistent state [15:03] bezao: also what rigved said ;-) [15:04] yeats haha you dont want to tell me, cuz it will broke everything! [15:04] wish^, sorry.... getting ready for a party... === zonum_ is now known as zonum [15:04] wish^, you need to reinstall... hold on...

[15:06] also one more thing yeats i'm running my other computer (win) cant ping ubuntu, but ubuntu can ping it! it's firewall? on ubuntu? [15:06] What is the command-line command to get the description of a D'EB program package? [15:06] What is the command-line command to get the description of a DEB program package? [15:06] UnholyTerror: but the same problems as before i uninstalled are still around.. my resolution is somehow set to double the width of my screen so i can scroll another screen length to the right [15:06] bullgard4: apt-get show package [15:07] if i have a laptop consisting of linux compatible hardware, is there the possibility of an incompatible combination of hardware?the laptop isn't listed on linlap or tuxmobile.

[16:30] does* [16:31] and again i changed a new password [16:31] vipul: you just use « passwd » in a terminal with no sudo [16:31] and again i changed a old password* [16:31] vipul: you did it wrong [16:31] !rootpass [16:31] sacarlson i dont understand it man,im the one who installed ubuntu [16:31] sudo passwd strikes again..lol [16:31] !rootpassword [16:31] 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 [16:31] psycho: can't you get the # prompt? [16:32] sacarlson ? [16:32] !cli [16:32] shane4ubuntu, no, you have to make a service configuration for it there. you'll need just a few lines of text in it [16:32] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [16:32] ok [16:32] let me check again === leon is now known as Guest60586 [16:32] is it a problem with totem ? [16:32] psycho: just because you installed it doesn't mean that you are loged into a sudo account [16:32] sacarlson i am the admin [16:32] fuck you [16:32] sacarlson do i have to set the sudo pass or something? [16:33] Bondv6: ok, that looks a little complex, I was looking at a few of the conf files to get an idea, here is the one liner I want run upon boot: sudo /usr/bin/dund --listen --persist --msdun call dun --nodetach [16:33] 我打错了 [16:33] DangerCode: watch your language and be nice [16:33] Bondv6: without the sudo of course. [16:33] DangerCode: and use english, not chinese [16:33] yes got it now thank erUSUL [16:33] !cn | DangerCode [16:33] DangerCode: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [16:33] paandu: thats extremely unusual.... [16:33] psycho: no I think the password is the same as the user that uses it but that user must be in the /etc/sudoers list [16:33] shane4ubuntu, it is actually very easy. You pass the command to the line that starts with "exec", and besides that, you tell it when you want it to start and stop [16:34] Is it normal to have audio play through my lineout on my laptop and my internal laptop speakers after I bring my laptop out of sleep, I really like it for listening to music and would like to be able to enable this without having to go into sleep and out of sleep. [16:34] !in [16:34] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [16:34] KM0201: I know , is that a bug ? [16:34] shane4ubuntu, like "stop on shutdown" [16:34] paandu: no [16:34] psycho: do you have it setup to auto login or something and forgot the password? [16:34] !in |DangerCode [16:34] DangerCode: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [16:34] erUSUL: sry it does not seem working .. i've put my command in a file.sh chmod 0755 then chmod +x but cant see any FTP process runing (ps | grep ftp) [16:34] paandu: do this... go to places, select your home folder, and drag/drop it to your desktop [16:35] paandu: when it creates the link on your desktop... right click the link, properties, and on the "basic"tab, what does it say for "Link Target" [16:35] erUSUL: if i start my command in a terminal it works perfectly [16:35] sacarlson no,i am trying to get steam to run on this account [16:35] psycho: haven't you ever had to install software with like synaptic? [16:35] intick: should work the same either way ... [16:35] Bondv6: ahh, ok, I see, start on filesystem stop on runlevel [!2345] is the ssh conf file ending with exec /usr/sbin/sshd I see, the rest is special filler and checks. [16:35] shane4ubuntu, make sure you look in /etc/init not /etc/init.d [16:35] sacarlson synaptic? [16:35] Bondv6: right, I'm with you there. [16:35] psycho: how do you install software? [16:35] KM0201: I have problem with totem: it opened Places menu (Documents, Music, Videos ...)... i just cant click or else it will open in media player [16:35] erUSUL: i dont have to add anything befor my command line in the sh file ? [16:35] with my account password [16:36] shane4ubuntu, yeah, that looks good. and then just stick your "exec yourcommand" line in there, and it will start on boot, and you can administrate it with "service" command [16:36] psycho: are you loged into that account? [16:36] but my account password,which is the admin account isnt working with sudo [16:36] intick: no the file shoulb be two lines 1) #!/bin/sh 2) your command here .-.... [16:36] no [16:36] shane4ubuntu, "service yourservie status" etc [16:36] If I create a bootable ubuntu livecd on an 8GB USB stick, can I still use the leftover ~6GB for storing data? Or would it be wiser to go with a 2GB stick if the remaining 6GB would always be unusable? [16:36] i told you i am trying to get steam running on this users account [16:36] trying to unzip b2z file and direct output to another location - bunzip2 fliename.b2z -C ~/fgfs - fail. how do i redirect? [16:36] hm... Am I still logged in? [16:36] paandu, Is your problem got resolved? [16:36] rpenn, yes [16:36] Bondv6:thanks! Ubuntu has changed since I first dove in! [16:37] paandu: do you mean that when you try to open any folder , totem is opened? [16:37] I fell asleep hours ago lol [16:37] abhiSri: No [16:37] it will run on the admin account, but not the other users account [16:37] psycho: well theres your problem you must login to your sudo account before you perform sudo functions [16:37] hi, running VLC on Ubuntu...how can i setup via terminal commands for ffmpeg? [16:37] Bondv6: specially these last few years, and I haven't kept up with the new way of doing things. [16:37] AbhiJit: yes to the still being able to store data, or yes to the getting a 2GB stick instead? :) [16:37] paandu, had you checked that file ? [16:37] well when i do that how do i allow this user to run steam? [16:37] #python [16:37] :s [16:37] shane4ubuntu, yeah, that upstart-stuff I've been waiting a long time for. Only thing I'm missing is the ability to start programs as different users [16:37] paandu: can you click on the system and applications menu? [16:37] abhiSri: yes i dont know what to change in there [16:37] lol [16:38] kcorcoran: -c is a tar option. bzip2 does not have such option [16:38] kcorcoran: check bzip2 man page again [16:38] KM0201: yes i can click it [16:38] Bondv6: they are good changes, I just haven't kept up, hmm, Networking.conf is a very simple example to follow. [16:38] kcorcoran: -C with capital C i meant [16:38] prycho correct, as I tried to tell you before only a sudo user can do sudo , that mean you must be loged in as a sudo user not this new none sudo user [16:38] paandu: ok, i thought you said when you clcik the places menu, it opens totem [16:38] shane4ubuntu, yeah :) it's improving all the time, hard to follow some times :) [16:38] AbhiJit: hi, I didn't know that there had been a word/world war between Emacs and VI, and still continueing [16:38] i'll just take that as a yes, I can still store data on the other 6GB :) [16:38] ok i will be back [16:38] how can i access my windows desktop files in ubuntu [16:39] kcorcoran: but just using shell rediect is enough « bunzip2 file.bz2 > /path/to/nameuncompressedfile » [16:39] KM0201: yes Places menu (Documents, Music, Videos ...). is opening with media player [16:40] paandu: do you have any folder in Desktop?

[16:43] abhiSri: inode/directory:nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and x-directory/normal:nautilus-folder-handler.desktop [16:43] paandu: and after that try Opening Home or other folders, I hope this works [16:43] garri: so it's not recognizing when you plug your ethernet cable in from the router either?

Got this strange issue with my wcdma connection when masquerading with iptables I get an lcp ConfRreq frame from the provider that causes the ppp-down script to be called.

Gparted says that my entire HD is now one "unallocated" partition/file system and gives me a warning about "overlapping partitions" [16:44] wicd network manager [16:44] AbhiJit: search for Emacs vs vi in google [16:44] the ppp connection can be up for hours without incident until a forwarded packet is sent through it [16:45] pksadiq: Thanks a lot bro it worked :) [16:45] garri: thats not a wireless device, thats a network manager... why did you uninstall the default network manager?

I have a problem and I hope you can help me here. I did something a bit stupid so please don't laugh haha Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP... [17:02] ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD? [17:02] i installed ubuntu 10.10 32bit on vaio e series and my touchapd is not working i also tried synaptics dkms with mt support but it doesnt work even [17:02] /weather Xiamen,Fujian,China [17:02] * Weather Xiamen: Sunny and Cold,Temperature:5-8C [By NOAA] [17:02] when i try to do it, it says permission denied [17:02] Guest31059: is that UserID still logged in? [17:02] what should i do? [17:02] oh wait, it still shows the Windows partition in cfdisk...it shows at the beginning as "Unusable 16384.76" [17:02] Guest31059, i think you need to become root for that. prefix "sudo" maybe. [17:03] chaospsychex: I'm not sure seems it requires to steps to run another a program in another users account from a suders account, so a shortcut just won't work I guess [17:03] wanna perform the move via the GUI, so 'sudo' is useless [17:03] dh003i: try sudo e2fsck -yf /dev/sdax [17:03] already rebooted [17:03] omfg [17:03] Gajzha, you installed ubuntu first or windows first [17:03] pksadiq: the partitions were ext4, is that gonna screw them up?

[17:04] : I installed windows first [17:04] dh003i: oh and you may not be able to fsck a windows disk I'm not sure so fsck /dev/sda2 might work [17:04] dh003i: but all you need to do is install the mbr as I stated before [17:04] why did wine install it into the home folder of the installing user any way [17:04] Guest31059: from ALT-F2 or command...gksudo nautilus...you will be in the file manager as a sudoer....use extreme caution as you can do ANYTHING including accidentally delete stuff [17:04] sacarlson: ok, i'll give that a try [17:04] Guest19189, yes dnivra is right .Just after moving all files you have to change the owner of them to your normal user. [17:04] it should of installed it so all users could run it [17:04] god damn [17:05] Hello ! What are the different parameters I can put in the grub about the acpi (like acpi=off) to see how they work on my system. [17:05] chaospsychex: ya maybe you can setup wine so many user can use it? I don't use wine [17:05] I just installed wine with package manager, it is version 1.2.1, is this the most current?

[17:09] chaospsychex: that's one way of doing it [17:09] lol wow [17:09] sacarlson i did that,still couldn't copy the file [17:10] i tell you what guys,linux is like goddamn fort knox [17:10] chaospsychex: what error do you see now with the # prompt? [17:10] I am using Evolution mail client, got the global address book working via LDAP and am using IMAP as my connector, but i need the Exchange appointment reminders and meeting invitations working. this is business critical please help me out [17:10] spend all day trying to let a user run a program from their account [17:10] ,then formatted the Ubuntu partition with XP partition tool (and I think a smaller one, is it the swap?) and now im stuck with the error message [17:10] sacarlson i have to copy the file in the terminal? [17:10] chaospsychex: ya that's why it has no virus [17:11] chaospsychex: if the terminal is where you are sudo [17:11] sacarlson do i have to copy the file using terminal commands? [17:11] If i don't get the Exchange meeting invitations I quite literally can't leave Windows [17:11] i need the meeting invitations. everything else is all figured out [17:11] chaospsychex: why didn't you install the program as the user who will be running it? just curious [17:11] Gajzha, welll not necessary to format the drive ,,,when in insert and boot from the live cd or minmal install cd it will walk you through the partiioning and actuallly default partitioning works well enough [17:11] chaospsychex: I don't even know if you need to copy the file at all, I don't know how wine works [17:11] i have a problem with my mouse, when i press the button6 and button7 one time, ubuntu receives a lot of press event, any ideas? [17:12] hi - i have a situation where I'd like to be able to create a lot of symbolic links to commonly used directories, and the be able to use them by cd ... I thought i'd be able to add the directory with the links into my path, but this doesn't seem to work .. does anyone know how this might be possible? [17:12] yeats because the program doesn't even show up as an available install in the users account [17:12] yeats are you familiar with playonlinux? [17:12] There is wine-1.2-dbg, 1.2-dev and 1.2-gecko (web browser) what does the web browser mean ? The initial package I downloaded was the wine microsoft compatibility layer, which downloaded 1.2-gecko also (I think) and that is version 1.2.1 and not the current 1.2.2, the reason I am asking all this is because I just installed Picase 3.8 and none of the folder names show. I went to file a compatibility report and it doesn't have my version [17:12] chaospsychex: nope ;-) [17:13] hi all, I'm dh003i [17:13] yeats well **** [17:13] chaospsychex: reading about it now... [17:13] I recovered my MBR, as suggested...now I'm in my Linux OS from my HD [17:13] Joe Blow can't do **** in linux,lololol [17:14] , thing is when I use the install menu from Live CD my XP partition doesn't show at all, it's like the installer thinks my whole drive is empty [17:14] chaospsychex: so it's basically a GUI program that acts as a front-end to wine [17:14] Gajzha, mmm that's odd [17:14] yeats yeah and there is a list of available programs you can install [17:14] Gajzha, I may not be able to help I have to break here ...I know there are many here with better skills :) [17:15] yeats: when i log into the user account below admin, the list is different and steam isn't even on that list [17:15] arg, gparted is still saying my entire HD is unallocated [17:15] and cfdisk says the first 16GB are "unusable" [17:16] bbs, gotta eat [17:16] DavidJHeinrich1: are you dh003i? [17:16] How do I find the terminal on Ubuntu Netbook? [17:17] How do I reset nautilus to the default configuration? [17:17] DavidJHeinrich1: /nick dh003i [17:17] DavidJHeinrich1: cool so just the grub-install /dev/sda worked? [17:17] chaospsychex: two thoughts... 1) this might be more of an issue for #winehq rather than #ubuntu 2) have you tried just installing directly from steam's site rather than going through playonlinux? [17:17] ccd: press ALT + CTRL + T [17:18] pksadiq: thx for that :) [17:18] yeats: #winehq is idle , let me check on installing from the steam site [17:18] pksadiq: thanks!! [17:18] i am running "make -j 3" no a flightgear v2.0...its working, however its taking some time...i assume this has to do with my CPU speeds...but would think it would compile faster. shouldn't a dual core system blow throw this? [17:18] bencahill: for what? [17:18] pksadiq: always good to know new keyboard shortcuts :) [17:18] DavidJHeinrich1: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ what about this? [17:19] yeats: it's only available for mac & pc [17:19] kcorcoran_: compiling can take a *lot* of processor time - esp. if you're doing other things [17:19] chaospsychex: right - that's what wine is for - try installing the PC version [17:19] pksadiq: I'm not getting it if DavidJHeinrich1 is now booted what is his problem? [17:19] yeats: that makes sense, but even with a dual core system? [17:20] kcorcoran_: depends on what it is ;-) [17:20] kcorcoran: what processor? [17:20] yeats: how do i go about doing that? [17:20] pksadiq: maybe he has two problems? [17:20] kcorcoran_: yes compiling takes time ;) it also depends on the build system how much paralellism it allows [17:20] sorry to interrupt, but what channel is for beginner's development? [17:20] bencahill: Preferences > KeyBoard Shortcuts might help you much [17:20] sacarlson: two? [17:20] pksadiq: thanks :) [17:20] , no worries, thanks for your time! [17:20] bencahill: intel Core 2 duo 3.0GHz [17:21] kcorcoran: no, the model# [17:21] pksadiq: seems after the mbr install he can not boot from his hard disk [17:21] chaospsychex: more or less the same way you would on Windows - download the file and install it [17:21] any one know? [17:21] bencahill: sorry, not sure how i would be able to to determine that? can you tell me? [17:21] kcorcoran: e8400 [17:21] kcorcoran: possibly? [17:21] yeat: ok now what directory do i choose,so others can run it? [17:21] What number do user ids start at? [17:22] yes!! [17:22] pksadiq: if it works at all almost everything would have to work [17:22] i just saw that on the screen [17:22] sacarlson: MBR is meant for windows only, if he has partitioned from windows, else ie's a burden [17:22] it's* [17:22] bencahill: yes!! [17:23] kcorcoran: pretty fast :) [17:23] anyone? [17:23] Hello I have a problem with my mouse, is a microsoft wireless mouse 7000, when i press button6 or buttton 7 ubuntu recives a lot of press and realease events!! any ideas of how to solve this or how to search in google?? === ntu is now known as Guest84082 [17:23] pksadiq: I had him grub-install /dev/sda and that seem to have fixed his ubuntu I guess, oh you think that only fixed windows hd boot? [17:23] what's the analog for "service sshd start" in ubuntu? [17:23] ccd: start ssh-server i think ... [17:24] wrd: I am giving instructions over the phone... so it would be "sudo start ssh-server" ? [17:24] bencahill; took about 5 minutes..is that an acceptable speed for the code that i was compiling? [17:24] ccd, nope it's "sudo service sshd start". that's right. [17:24] kcorcoran: dunno anything about compiling, just cpu speeds :) [17:24] Hey does anyone know where I can find a good guide of how to set up and maintain a LAMP server on Ubuntu Server 10.10? [17:24] ccd, that command starts the ssh server daemon. i'm pretty sure. [17:24] dnivra: hm... is sshd not installed by default on the netbook edition? [17:24] neohunter111: does system > preferences > mouse has any option? [17:25] ccd: no - you have to install openssh-server [17:25] cool [17:25] bencahill: how do you list the cpu? [17:25] ccd: sshd isn't installed by default on any edition only the client is installed as default [17:25] ccd, sshd is part of openssh-server; that's is not there by default on any ubuntu edition === Guest84082 is now known as pebblertuy === pebblertuy is now known as PebbleBoi [17:26] pksadiq yes the mouse works, the problem is that i set the boutton 6 and 7 (muse wheel to left o right) to change the desktop screen. and when i press it the desktop cube turns like crazy a lot of times, but before was working ok.

I have a problem and I hope you can help me here. I did something a bit stupid so please don't laugh haha Here is the problem: my system frozen while updating Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the Ubunt updater and couldn't restart Ubuntu at all (I have dual boot with XP SP3). So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP... [17:27] ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD?

My problem is, that my Touchpad & Mouse aren't working as they should. Means, that sometimes I'm not able to click buttons ect. The right touchpad button doesn't work at all. The touchpad problem was already there when I had windows. the problems with the mouse occured since I installed Ubuntu 10.04 [17:50] the size is specified in MB, so it isn't just 16 MB...it's ~16,000 MB [17:50] dh003i: see how they say you have 1000204886016 bytes [17:51] sacarlson: yea [17:51] dh003i: it's only MB if they put MB at the end [17:51] arpit, have you installed any touchpad control apps ? [17:51] sacarlson: look at cfdisk's output: http://pastebin.com/PJ81Mz9Z [17:52] seems Dell Optiplex 980 (and 960) has some strange issues with ubuntu (or maybe linux in general). [17:52] Anyone here familiar with GYachE ? I'm having trouble with the Auto-Away... It keeps resetting itself. [17:52] like? [17:52] random reboots [17:52] tpconfig [17:52] how can i read my windows desktop fi;es [17:52] sacarlson: the column header says "Size (MB)" and underneath it says "Unusable 16384.76"...so it is MB...which makes sense, as hat was he size of the partition I tried installing winXP to [17:52] which apps can u name some of them?? [17:52] sorry files [17:52] hey, i just created a VM with ubuntu server in it, but after i changed the network connection to bridged the vm isn't connecting to the internet anymore. [17:53] istvan: you must "refresh" the network in the vm too [17:53] root: can u name some of that apps [17:53] nope: how do I do that? [17:53] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:53] for instancer [17:53] -r [17:53] istvan, is your network set up with DHCP? [17:53] yes [17:53] arpit, type in touchpad in Synaptic Package Manager and start installing and testing [17:53] tpconfig is one [17:54] is this tool work like strace but show std lib or user-defined functions instead of system calls? [17:54] oh thnxs let me try [17:54] istvan: then nopes method is the commandline method. Or you could just click on auto eth0 from the popup on the network manager icon [17:54] that will disconnect it [17:54] and clicking it again will reconnect [17:54] dh003i: well if that's the case you would be getting an extra 16gb of space for free, [17:54] assuming you are using gnome [17:55] iDope: he said ubuntu server. a server usually dont have gui :) [17:55] iDope: its server [17:55] oh [17:55] (atleast it should not) [17:55] missed the server part [17:55] eh, that failed, so i guess its not an ubuntu issue [17:55] then its a simple case of /etc/init.d/networking restart [17:55] thanks guys [17:55] Nobody ever heard of that touchpad problem?

[17:56] nope: nope ;) no dhcp offer [17:56] ah [17:56] I need to be on a LiveCD to accurately backup my / directory, right ? [17:56] if you can set an IP manually and ping your gateway or another IP on your subnet, then its just that DHCP isn't reaching your VM [17:56] n [17:56] if you can't then the bridging isn't working at all [17:56] has anyone ever used lubuntu? [17:56] dh003i: when I run cfdisk I see something completely different with (util-linux-ng 2.17.2 [17:56] dh003i: not necessarily, create a backup user, add it to sudo, and use rdiff-backup for instance [17:57] Lushy, video drivers installed ?

[18:26] dh003i: and I note that I only have 1 primary and all others are logicals [18:26] dh003i, sata drivers [18:26] bencahill_: please explain..what do u mean... [18:27] bonjoyee, the computer's BIOS does not have the capability of booting to a USB device [18:27] hi, can i delete folder's from /usr/src -> "linux-2.6.36", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23-generic", "linux-headers-2.6.36.2-candela", it used about 5.9GB [18:27] nit-wit: sata drivers? [18:27] nit-wit: but I didn't change 'em, nor the USB drivers [18:27] nit-wit: I'll do the boot script again in a min [18:28] bencahill_: grub should take care of that...if your bios detects the usb device...grub can take control later.. [18:28] dh003i, your big HD is probably a sata drive, you may be able to change the bios and installXP without the drivers is the XP a OEM disc [18:28] bonjoyee, BIOS does not know anything about USB, computer was built in 00-02ish :s [18:29] dh003i, have you had this XP running on this HD ever [18:29] bonjoyee, i guess grub on hdd would be able to boot to usb? [18:29] what's the problem? [18:29] bonjoyee, what do you mean by bios "detecting" the usb device? [18:29] nit-wit: nope, I just d/l-ed WinXP from the most popular XP torrent on kickasstorrents...haven't ever had XP on this comp, just want it now to use Spectraview II to calibrate my monitor [18:30] bencahill_: but u say grub is installed to hdd and the installer detects the usb ...so i dont see any advantage/reason to have ../boot on hdd [18:30] anyways..ask some else as well here... [18:30] dh003i, so when you try and install XP it doesn't see the hd what happens [18:30] bonjoyee, I'm not familiar with how /boot works, so I suppose that would work fine :) [18:31] bencahill_: ill tell how i expect it to work.. [18:31] bonjoyee, yes I see what you mean now :) [18:31] bonjoyee, ok... [18:31] dh003i: would this spectraview work in virtualbox? probly not but [18:31] hello? [18:31] oh okay in in i guess [18:31] can someone help me? [18:31] bonjoyee: you boot into the already installed os..run update-grub...it detects your os on the usb... [18:31] LSeactuary, hello there :), do you have a question regarding ubuntu? [18:31] ive basically just fully installed ubuntu [18:31] !ask | LSeactuary [18:31] LSeactuary: 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. :-) [18:32] bonjoyee, talking to yourself? :) [18:32] Ok someone give me a hint here... I updated my /etc/default/grub and my 00_header with the grub_gfxmode stuff... I'm using the nvidie drivers (proprietary)... I get a black screen on boot (shows the splash fine though). Is there something I need to do to the command like, thequiet splash or something? [18:32] nit-wit: it sees the HD, seesthe partitions Linux made...I tried to install to the 1st 16GB partition, which I'd had Linux "delete" to make free space...XP said it couldn't make a filesystem there...something about "Disk 0 ld 0 on ATAPI (MBR)...no XP-compatible partition" [18:32] next time u restart..it lists there in the menu..grub handles the control to usb... [18:32] bencahill: ususb was designed in 96. so a 2000 system wl have usb although it may not be able to boot it [18:32] bonjoyee, i understand, makes perfect sense :) [18:33] bonjoyee, now how should I partition the USB drive for ubuntu? [18:33] sacarlson: well, Graeme, the creator of the free linux profiling software, Argyll, and others on the Argyll mailing list didn't think Spectraview would work in a virtualbox as it has to use DDC (data display channel) to access the monitor [18:33] is its blank..nothing to lose..give it a shot.. [18:33] if* [18:33] i installed ubutnu fully the screen said 'restart now' and everything and the disk came out but now its a black screen with white writing saying '2720.889883 end requiest: I_0 error dev sr0 sector 535236 and the same line with different numbers for about 50 lines. what od i do? [18:33] dh003i: figures [18:34] sacarlson: I think what it comes down to is that one way or another, to calibrate the monitor from software, u need to access it by DDC (data display channel) via the DVI-D cable...and Linux has no standard protocol for that...hence no monitor is detected in Wine when I try installing the prog from Wine, and virtualbox'd prolly be same [18:34] bonjoyee, it's got some files on it, the don't matter [18:34] dh003i, simce it is a download it is hard to say, but a standard XP install to a sata type HD needs stat drivers unless the bios is set th ahce/ide reboot to the bios and check the HD and this [18:34] lseactuary: take the cd out of the drive [18:34] bencahill_: no more partitions..just format sdb1 to a filesystem of your choice ext3/4 and use entire as / [18:34] bonjoyee, I don't need swap? [18:34] how much ram? [18:35] bonjoyee, 128mb :P [18:35] bonjoyee, but all I'm doing is fbi [18:35] hmmm..then u need a bit...say 512MB.. [18:35] nit-wit: here's the boot info script output file: http://pastebin.com/D4V1Tk0Y [18:36] anyone? [18:36] bonjoyee, right, so a 1.5GB primary ext4, and a 512MB swap [18:36] bencahill: use ext2 if the storage is flash based. makes it last longer [18:36] but not sure if that will leave enough space for the os.. [18:36] ActionParsnip, ok, I'll do that [18:36] ActionParnship, the CD came out already so i took it out already. the screen hasnt changed [18:36] bonjoyee, current os (which I'm basically cloning) is 1.1gb [18:36] bencahill_: do u have swap on the hdd? [18:36] s/gb/GB/ [18:37] nit-wit: so b4 I do anything else stupid, llutz had suggested I use rsync from a newly created user with admin privs like this: rsync -arux / /mnt/backup [18:37] bonjoyee, yes, but if I used that, the hdd would probably spin up once in a while, right? [18:37] ActionParsnip: have you ever seen any actual benchmarks on that? Ive never seen any 'proof' :) then again ive never had a flash drive go bad either no matter what fs i use [18:37] now its just turned off bu the harddrive lights still on??? [18:37] bencahill_:yes..as you have so less ram in there.. [18:37] bonjoyee: rule of thuumb is 2xRA foress than 2gb ram === risc is now known as Guest96110 [18:38] Still here... [18:38] anyone? [18:38] bonjoyee, current swap (determined by installer) is 359.7MB [18:38] dh003i, I'm not familiar with resnc as a backup, notice you now have a 2 terrebyte drive with grub legacy again and a gpt setup, you need to make a thread at the Ubuntu forums [18:39] nit-wit: hmm, I wonder why the 2TB HD is grub legacy...I formatted it from Ubuntu...I think while I was in10.04 [18:39] bencahill_: if ur ok with it use it..else create new .. [18:39] dh003i, this is more then the IRC is set up to get set up correctly to be honest [18:39] okay its come up to the home screen but it looks wrong. can someone please help me. i have alot of work to do..... :( [18:39] nit-wit: the 2TB HD is a backup [18:39] bonjoyee, as I said before, wouldn't using the hdd swap make the hdd spin up once in a while? [18:39] mod probe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules something [18:39] dh003i, okay [18:39] then it loads to the home screen [18:40] k, i'll post it on Ubuntu forums [18:40] dwillis: flash nhas limited writes and ext2 has no journal. makes sense but i havent seen benchmarks just playing safe [18:40] bencahill_: yes it would... [18:40] LSeactuary, you may want to try the ubuntu forums [18:40] i need a shell script that will halt the computer but not require a password [18:40] bonjoyee, then I'd rather use the usb for swap [18:40] i have - no ones replied! [18:40] LSeactuary, oh :) [18:40] kylejjjjj: set the suid bit on the shutdown command. :) is a dirty way to do that [18:41] kylejjjjj: "shutdown -h now" run as root [18:41] thats fine...also consider what ActionParsnip: said...256MB? [18:41] I'm trying to follow this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ but I'm a bit lost from the begining... [18:41] since its cli...shud be fine.. [18:41] bonjoyee, yes, I think I'll go with that, as I am only running one program (fbi) [18:41] bonjoyee, ok, I'm trying it now... [18:41] * bencahill_ tries... [18:42] im very sorry im verry new to linux i genral what did you mean suid bit? [18:42] kylejjjjj: you camn add shutdown to visudo and it wont. there are guides [18:43] Please could someone help me to do this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ [18:43] bencahill_:also ...if the installer asks where to install the grub...let it do on the usb device..u can use it later on a newer system..that support usb booting... [18:43] dh003i, pm me when you post the bootscrpt on the forums [18:43] kylejjjjj: the 'suid bit' is a special mode that if set on a binary - that binary runs as the owner. its a way to let things run as 'root' all the time. Its considerd a security risk. [18:43] bonjoyee, ok [18:44] kylejjjjj: you can set up sudo, where 'sudo shutdown' would NOT require a password. also. thats 'safer' [18:44] dh003i: I'm not sure I'm reading you last grub thing correct but is grub 16gb? 16.3GB: grub/stage2 [18:44] bonjoyee, I'm setting up the partitions...doing the ext3 1.8GB right now, do I want the bootable flag "on"? [18:44] bencahill_:check twice..the usb device:) [18:44] sacarlson: the 1st unused area from cfdisk is 16 GB, yes [18:44] yes...its not needed in ur setup..but do it [18:44] i have a problem on drapes that it is not restrating itself when i logged in [18:44] bonjoyee, ok, got it [18:44] dh003i: I guess it was needed for grub? [18:45] kylejjjjj: read up on 'sudo' configuration if you want to go the sudo route. [18:45] bonjoyee, will do, do you think removing and re-inserting the usb drive will mess up the install? [18:45] sacarlson: no, it was originally a 16GB swap partition [18:45] !sudo [18:45] 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 [18:45] ok thanks [18:45] bencahill_: not after starting the installer... [18:45] sacarlson: then I thought I'd use it for Windows XP, because windows needs the 1st partition [18:45] sacarlson: but windows failed to install [18:45] bonjoyee, ok, off to check the usb contents :) [18:45] bonjoyee: with the space and power limitation i suggest you ise lubuntu [18:46] you burned xp? [18:46] dh003i: ok that clears that up I guess [18:46] ActionParsnip: its just the cli..minimal install [18:46] is here anyone know about drapes [18:46] bonjoyee, yeah, there wasn't anything on there I needed, always good to check, though :) [18:46] dh003i: so was this guy right then https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103096 [18:46] makes sense. tbats ool too [18:47] hmm.. [18:47] dh003i: I think you still only have 3 primary so I guess it could still have 1 more [18:47] sacarlson: I don't even know what he's trying to say [18:47] bonjoyee, I don't need any special mount options? === ahmed is now known as Guest29247 [18:47] sacarlson: oh yea, I do remember xp saying something about max # of partitions already on disk, lol...but the first 16GB was deleted and unused, which was where I wanted it to make the partition [18:48] sivakumar: my wife made some lovely ones with lace the other day for the bedroom. [18:48] dont think so.. [18:48] bonjoyee, ok [18:48] ha! [18:48] bonjoyee, I can't set the bootable flag as on, I suppose I will leave it off :s [18:49] Dr_Willis, i asking about drapes in ubuntu [18:49] dh003i: so the fix would be to not put so many primary partitions?

[19:22] infinitus: So how can I go in and edit the file if I can't see it to click on? [19:23] sprung: if I want a lightwave version , what do you recommand? Xubuntu? [19:23] deddly: if ls -al shows it's there, it's there [19:23] sori, if there is one, it's not approved by canonical, but enthusiasts might have something [19:23] Dr_Willis: ya your right but i really want to be able to shutdown my computer with an email [19:23] deddly: in the terminal, 'nano .asoundrc' [19:23] deddly: or use whichever text editor you like [19:23] sori: I see some linux kernel that is labled as virtual that I guess is setup to be optimized for vm or virtualbox, I'm not sure what differences it has [19:23] Hi all, i have a problem starting a command from sh file ..the command works fine from a terminal but does not work from an SH script . (chmod +x and chmod 755) [19:23] any idea ? [19:23] kylejjjjj: sounds rather.. odd.. [19:23] sori of course you could always try running the OS natively [19:23] kylejjjjj: you could just ssh in and shut it down. theres proberly dozens of ways you could do it also. [19:23] ahh I c :) Gonna read up on that now :) Thank you Dr_willis [19:24] thanks sacarlson sprung [19:24] ya but sometimes i froget to turn it off so being able to do it foem anywere would be good [19:24] kylejjjjj: suid is worth learning about ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid === intick is now known as intickhi === intickhi is now known as intick [19:24] hi [19:24] kylejjjjj: if you can ssh to it. You could make a 'shutdown' user with the shutdown command as their shell. :) you login as that user.. system shutdowns heh. [19:24] sprung: I have an Ubuntu natively but I have sth to do with linux on vmware [19:24] ok well i guess i will read up :) [19:24] kylejjjjj: of course if you can ssh in, you can send the shutdown command voer ssh also. [19:25] kylejjjjj: ssh is also VERY worth learning all about [19:25] sori, what is sth? i never heard of it and google isnt throwing up anything obvious [19:25] if i change my root user password to 'root' for ssh how long until some1 hacks and gains access? [19:25] this is a server with no firewall [19:26] whateverDever: very quickly [19:26] helooooooooooooooo [19:26] whateverDever: give me ur ip and i tell u;) [19:26] I have /var/backups/apt.extended_states.0 where is *original* location for that file? /var/lib/apt/extended_states ? [19:26] LOL [19:26] im just bored thought i might try it [19:26] sori, and i have loads of experience running linux on vmware in the vCenter environment so i think you might not be making yourself clear enough [19:26] i can reinstall the server if some1 gets in and changes the root pass [19:26] honepot [19:26] honeypot*\ [19:26] whateverDever: login and use su [19:27] sprung: when I'm in my windows I need to test some linux apps which I develope! I need a Graphical interface with good unicode support [19:27] infinitus: I think it's in the wrong place - I need the file in /home/currentuser [19:27] sori: before we continue i need to know what is: "sti" [19:27] oops [19:27] sori: before we continue i need to know what is: "sth" [19:27] hi, i've toshiba a660 17j with last ubuntu and kernel version and the problem is in the hotkeys, doesn't light on .. anyone have the same problem? [19:27] whateverDever: ok then do it and keep watching /var/log/auth; [19:27] yep [19:27] whateverDever: ;) [19:28] what would that chinese or russian hacker do after getting in? [19:28] have a victory tug? [19:28] insert a furry hat [19:28] whateverDever: install a mail server to send spam [19:28] deddly: hmm, try 'touch ~/.asoundrc' . i guess you created the file in the wrong folder [19:28] sori: sori> sprung: I have an Ubuntu natively but I have sth to do with linux on vmware [19:28] sori: what is sth? [19:29] sprung: in this case I dont insist ubuntu, sth means here runnig cvs. apache, make. and apertium [19:29] sprung: sth = something [19:29] sprung: I wonder if gentoo would be a good option [19:29] puppy? [19:29] whats the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link ? [19:29] when i see their ip addy in logs, its not really theirs right? surely the use another compromised machine for their dictionairy attacks [19:29] sori, i am having problems understanding your question. can you repeat it, focusing on clarity? [19:30] how do i delete the keyrings on 10.10? i have already set it to not ask for password on log in but it still does. i would like to set it up where the only time password is needed is for installing packages or for sudo [19:30] Lantchips: a hard link IS identical to the file/original name.. a soft link is a pointer to the original file/data [19:30] 1,2,3, testing [19:31] anyone? [19:31] hi [19:31] Cha0s: thats not exactly the same thing. the keyring can store passwords for other apps.. you can set where the keyring unlocks automatically. but if a program wants a password (that can be saved in the keyring) it will still ask. The packae manager system does not use the keyring at all that ive seen. [19:31] can i get hadware sound in virtualbox [19:31] HELLO [19:31] Dr_Willis: so a hard link occupies same amount of space on disk? [19:32] infinitus: It's so wierd, I can't see .asoundrc [19:32] elias79: you should [19:32] bonjoyee: a hard link IS the original data. [19:32] bonjoyee: same data/part of the HD. just 2 names for the same stuff [19:32] sprung: I need a lightweight dist. of linux to be installed on vmware! that's all! less disc space! less memory usage! and It would be very nice to include Gnome but if Gnome would want much disk space I can tollerate a lighter environment [19:32] helooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [19:32] so can u tell me what this command does ? Someone did for me a couple of months ago : ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/bin/matlab /usr/bin [19:33] hello [19:33] Dr_Willis:so no duplicate copies right? [19:33] bonjoyee: a hard link IS the original data. [19:33] i need to use signs such as ?,^ on ubuntu but i can't does anyone know how to solve this? [19:33] Lantchips: it links the matlab binary to somewhere that is in your pPATH so you can call it from everywhere [19:33] ok thanks.. [19:33] How can I get ubuntu to warn me when the battery on my laptop has dropped to a certain level of charge, say 40%? [19:33] Dr_Willis ok i think i understand what you are saying. see i just had to do a reinstall to setup dual boot and lost all my settings and all but before the only time i had to enter a password was for update manager, synaptecs and such or if i used sudo in terminal. but i cannot remember or find how to get my settings back to that. can you maybe help? [19:33] * sori is checking distrowatch.com [19:33] yay \o/ finally what I have been looking for [19:34] can't browse my windows network since I installed Samba, does anyone know why? [19:34] sori: got the podcast links u wanted? [19:34] thomc: acpi and zenity and any player in bash script [19:34] Cha0s: what you described is not the default for how ubuntu worked.. Unless you did some serious tweaking. [19:34] anyone got a link to a guide to remove unnecesary processes to speed up ubuntu [19:34] deddly: weird, if ls -al shows that it's there means it's created [19:34] infinitus: ok this is embarrasing...I found it, sorry - was looking at folders not files (blush) [19:34] can someone help me pleasE? [19:34] deddly: lol! okay. [19:34] whats the opposite of ln then ? [19:34] slgma: theres really not a lot to delete. but if you wanted a lighter desktop you could try lubuntu. === LunaCyrcus is now known as ONx [19:34] Ronnie [19:35] well im happy with my desktop Dr_Willis [19:35] but in the taskmanager [19:35] seems like theres alot of crap i dont need [19:35] LSeactuary: state the problem to the channel. [19:35] but i dont know whats safe to remove [19:35] LSeactuary: hey ya of course [19:35] slgma: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === aberrant_ is now known as aberrant [19:35] 'sup [19:35] slgma: if the processes are sleeping or waiting. they are not taking resources.. its proberly not worth bothering with [19:35] Dr_Willis, Hmmmm i honestlly cant remember. when i first setup i came into channel and asked if anyone knew how to remove passwords and someone guided me through it. i was a total noob [19:35] infinitus: Thanks for the help [19:35] the state says S and R Dr_Willis [19:36] im guessing s is sleeping, what is d? [19:36] err R [19:36] What program is currently playing audio (from a .pps attachment)? '~$ lsof | grep pcm' and '~$ lsof | grep snd' do not print any sound program's name.

[19:36] well see im looking at it now, for example gnome-power-manager is running [19:36] please, i need to use ^ and ? in ubuntu but i cant, could anyone help me? [19:36] do i need that on a desktop pc? [19:36] Dr_Willis, ok well how can i simply remove the log in keyring? so i dont have to password my login and wifi connection? [19:36] deddly: no prob :) [19:36] its not using any cpu but its using 8mb of ram [19:36] Cha0s: use the tomboy notes app in the future to take noted. :) and sync them to ubuntu-one so you can save them and access them from the cloud. and never loose them [19:36] bonjoyee, ok it's formatting and installing now :) [19:37] bonjoyee, off to lunch, bbl [19:37] bencahill_: what part of the world? [19:37] bullgard4: if you use pulseaudio check what clients it has. click on the sound icon. choose sound preferences the last tab ( Apps ) [19:37] Cha0s: system -> preferances -> password stuff. change the password for the LOGIN: entry (right click on it) to be blank. === simon_ is now known as johnson [19:37] thomc: loop, scan acpi every 2-5 minutes if valiue is less than 40 - ring the bell [19:37] thats like a Top 10 faq :) i think. heh [19:37] Dr_Willis thats what i do now. but that was i believe my first day with ubuntu [19:37] ill be off to sleep...its 1am here already..!! === johnson is now known as Guest1656 [19:37] Dr_Willis, ok thank you [19:38] hi why cant i install software from ubuntu software center on my 64bit ubuntu 10.10 server edition?

[19:38] anthon: dunno; you tell us. what errors do you get when you try? [19:38] !details | anthon [19:38] anthon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:38] thomc: 2 minutes [19:38] no errrors just nothing works [19:38] LSeactuary, ask a question first [19:39] !doesntwork [19:39] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:39] erUSUL: This shows OpenOffice.org 3.2. (*surprised*) [19:39] Hey I ubdated to ubuntu 10.10 recently and have been having some problems with my computers internet connection. Originally I had 9.10 and everything worked perfectly. Since updating it takes a considerably longer amount of time to connect to the interent and the connection goes off and on. Has anyone else had this problem [19:39] if I have a man file how do I make man go into that place where the manual for the program is ? [19:39] Dr_Willis, ok i dont have anything password related in system>pref or in system> admin. i also checked in main menu setting to ensure it wasnt just not selected [19:39] i have a .SO file - how do install?

[19:41] LSeactuary: thats not really somthing we controll. - Theres dozens of ubuntu-mac look themes out there. [19:41] Dr_Willis, 10.10 [19:41] frxstrem: nslookup domainname.com [19:41] LSeactuary: it could be thats for 'hardy' which is an OLD ubuntu release [19:41] well it installs as i should but every time i launch the program from my GUI well sorry it wont run. i get no error messages. thought i maybe needed some libraries? [19:41] Cha0s: look atgin in the perferances menu then. [19:41] bonjoyee: i need to copy the file to my browser plug in folder? where is the default location for firefox? [19:41] Cha0s: for the item that says 'passwords and keys' [19:41] do you have a link which will work? ie how i can install a macbook theme with the new ubuntu [19:41] infinitus: okay, is it possible to only get the IP address of the domain name? [19:42] LSeactuary: omgubuntu and webupd8 proberly have news on several of them. I find they all basically suck. [19:42] kcorcoran_: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [19:42] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 I'm connected with a home network to my winXP machines that I use to see in the network right after installing. After I installed Samba each time I select Network it tells me it cannot retrieve the share list from the server.... [19:42] kcorcoran_: is it flash? [19:42] Oh dear. OK Now I need more help with my sound. I just removed ALSA and installed OSS according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and followed the instructions on configuring ALSA apps to use OSS but now when I try to play an mp3 on Audacious it returns this error message: ALSA error, No suitable mixer element found" What do I do now? [19:42] LSeactuary: i saw one the other day called 'macbuntu-10.10' it even had plymouth themes and stuff. [19:42] OMG are you serious. the whole point of me instaling ubutnu was to get the mac theme [19:43] LSeactuary: that macbuntu was a script that set it up to look almost ientical to a mac.. (how pointless i thought) [19:43] yes [19:43] hi, could anyone give me a hand, please? [19:43] Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ [19:43] huh? ive just installed ubuntu.... what do i do now to make it look and work exactly like a mac? [19:43] ClaireClay: why do you need my hand? ;> [19:44] LSeactuary: see that macbuntu script [19:44] yes [19:44] LSeactuary: you don't, it's not a mac [19:44] Dr_Willis: no more pointless than people who install linux, ans want it to look like Windows.. i never got that either [19:44] LSeactuary: or find some other mac-look project. theres several out [19:44] Dr_Willis: don't push that, it's bad [19:44] frxstrem: i don't know, maybe grep?

I ran it on a laptop and made myself admin, and ran the code rfkill unblock all [19:44] then you press internet or web [19:44] Gusy please tell me why sound does not come out from the lcd when i connect it to the laptop using hdmi cable? i have choosen the hdmi sound output from hardware. :(( [19:44] what ubuntu button?

[19:45] erUSUL: (My audio knowledge is patchy.) Shouldn't '~$ lsof | grep pcm' show a »gstreamer« entry then? [19:45] graphic signs such as the one people use in spanish [19:45] ok! [19:46] Dr_Wilis how do i install the link? ive downloaded it by clicking the green button. sorry im new to this [19:46] you go to "www.google.pl" and search: mac emerald theme, then mac icons compiz, and then in synaptic cairo-dock and search again some mac wallpapers [19:46] LSeactuary: read the directions at the web site. extract the archive. read the README [19:46] bullgard4: when you use pulseaudio then only pulseaudio access the sound card. the apps conteact PA so it plays the sound for them [19:46] LSeactuary: I strongly advise you not to use it [19:46] erusul: that command is not enough [19:46] hello i accidentally set a wrong miro file to be the default launcher on firefox how can i correct this wrong setting on firefox? [19:46] LSeactuary: you may want to learn some ubuntu basics and actually try the normal ubuntu first. that macbuntu script does a LOT of changes [19:46] LSeactuary: if you want something to lokok/behave like a mac, buy a mac and use OS X [19:46] can anyone help me with that?

[19:47] ikonia - why is it so bad? my computer wont crahs or anything will it? [19:47] yes [19:47] LSeactuary: possibly [19:47] LSeactuary: the legality of that script installing all sorts of mac copurighted images and fonts is a bit of a legal grey alrea also. [19:47] Dr_Willis: hmm.. I only get Windows 7 (loader), And when I choose that option when booting it just restarts and and I get to grub again :/ [19:47] please can anyone help been at it for hours [19:48] Guys, I really dig Ubuntu, but I've got some bad issues with audio on my lenovo U350.

[19:48] its caleld Hackintosh [19:48] ikonia - please go on [19:48] Dr_Willis: recent version has stopped working for uninstall, hence my dislike of it [19:48] erUSUL: OK, I changed the preferences>Current Output plugin to OSS Output Plugin. Now, when clicking an mp3 it just skips to the next, next, next all the way through the playlist [19:48] jchase520: thats illegal and offtopic here [19:48] 0_o [19:48] i just really dont like the ubuntu desktop tbh and want something like microsoft/apple [19:49] ikonia: i last tried it ages ago. i was about to delete the macbuntu dir when he asked. :) thats the only reason i rembered it. [19:49] erUSUL: mine is USA but i cant change it to use spanish and brazillian, although i need that [19:49] LSeactuary: use windows or apple theren, [19:49] wat dont u like about the desktop? [19:49] LSeactuary: there's a bazillion themes on gnome-look.org [19:49] go look at them [19:49] LSeactuary: if you are really so desperate, then install AWN, install some mac theme you like from www.gnome-look.org/ [19:49] i had windows - kept crashing and it was really bad [19:49] AWN? [19:49] yea i hated the defualt look on ubuntu but now i have this sexy gnome look [19:50] LSeactuary: and yeah, also install compiz. then start playing/tweaking. [19:50] LSeactuary: i suggest you try using ubuntu for at least a month as it was designed. [19:50] LSeactuary: that will keep you busy for some time [19:50] :P [19:50] ClaireClay: so « shift + 6 » wont print ^ ? [19:50] suv - huh?

[19:51] !dock [19:51] what's the easiest way to low level format an external drive (compact flash card) with ubuntu? [19:51] Dr_Willis: hmm.. I only get Windows 7 (loader), And when I choose that option when booting it just restarts and and takes me to grub again :/ [19:51] just type 'sudo apt-get awn' [19:51] can 1 person please tell me excaty what to install - im getting really lost [19:51] TheShoemaker: can you get to Windows? [19:51] Yeah, I'm in it right now [19:51] DarsVaeda: dd..i think [19:52] DarsVaeda: if you want to 'zero' out a hard drive. you can use 'dd' - a 'true' low level format is rarely needed these days. I think most manafactures have tools spefifically designed to do that. [19:52] i guess that's the command... if not found type 'sudo apt-search awn' and select something meaningful [19:52] TheShoemaker: wel,l thats good. [19:52] so far ive just downloaded sourceforce.net/projects/macbuntu [19:52] KM0201: Better than nothing [19:52] dd is not the same as a low level format. :) but its let me fix up a few messed up flash drives in the past. [19:52] is that okay? [19:52] LSeactuary: read the links ubottu just sent you [19:52] for years I've thought that a one-item on the clipboard is too limiting. -- anyone have a option to save more (whatever keystrokes it might be) ? [19:52] btw, Dr_Willis is right, use the default for sometime.. may be you'll like it.. [19:52] LSeactuary: extract the archive. read the readme included in it. [19:52] I think I've messed up my sound :( I installed OSS and now I get nothing at all [19:52] so it wont damage my computer dr_Willis? [19:53] pleassseee i need help, cant start my ftp serve using SH file, while it works perfectly in a terminale .. [19:53] LSeactuary: read the various docs at -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/macbuntu/ [19:53] LSeactuary: it may do damage to the OS as I've warned you [19:53] tripelb: install parcellite? [19:53] LSeactuary: no idea. if it does.. it not officially suported here.. so you are on your own. [19:53] can anyone recommend some good looking themes for Ubuntu? (I want to freshen it up a bit, but just don't know what to try) [19:53] ikonia - then suggest an alternative.... [19:53] frxstrem: gnome-look.org has a rating system, look at that [19:53] LSeactuary: read the links ubottu sent you [19:53] frxstrem: dozens of them in the repos. many popular ones mentioned at omgubuntu and the webupd8 web sites [19:53] intick: what line in the script starts the ftp server [19:53] ikonia - im doing that 1 sec [19:54] bonjoyee: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -C 4 -O stats:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -A -s -I 3 -p 51000:51367 -Z -U 132:002 -u 100 -m 4 -8 UTF-8 -t 64 -W -c 50 -k 98 -w -H -Y 0 -B [19:54] theres so many os-x type themes out there for ubuntu and gnome - its scary. :) [19:54] VCoolio, Dr_Willis: okay, I'll check that out [19:54] !info gnome-art [19:54] gnome-art (source: gnome-art): install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-12 (maverick), package size 26 kB, installed size 204 kB [19:54] okay thanks but guess dd can at least mid-level format then? I just want to securely wipe a drive before selling [19:54] Anyone here with experience in OSS? [19:54] erUSUL: This obtains http://pastebin.com/Z7CzuP4V and I am struggeling to interpret this result. [19:54] intick: running the script as root? [19:54] Dr_Willis, (re low level format) I had a problem for a while that no one here had any answers to. The problem was gparted keeps "unexpectedly quitting". ... it was solved by letting Windows do a long slow format of the HD. {It was a new HD, worked at first in gparted then poof.} [19:54] DarsVaeda: theres secure deletion tools that are designed for that task [19:54] ok.. how do I config GRUB? [19:54] DarsVaeda: using dd a few times probelry will do it also. [19:54] deddly: same as you; I uninstalled and went back to alsa [19:54] ikonia - i understood 0 of the links [19:54] bonjoyee: work fine on a terminal (root) but if i put this on a shortcut or sh file (chmoded ect..) it execute but server is not started [19:55] bonjoyee: tried bash and sh [19:55] bullgard4: the only program using your sound device is pulseaudio as it should be [19:55] LSeactuary: -huh? what's there to understand [19:55] Dr_Willis, I might assume that windows did a low level NTFS format. Were there any tools in opensource I could have used? [19:55] how would you call such tools, i'm german maybe i search the wrong terms, was not lucky yet in finding such tools for ubuntu [19:55] VCoolio: Oh...I tried OSS in the hope that it would fix the click click click sound I'm experiencing [19:55] tripelb: windows 'slow' vs qwuick format. also does some sort of verify - not sure if thats the same as 'badblocks' in linux does or not. [19:55] just click on them [19:55] intick: how do you run the script..sudo something.sh? [19:55] suv - im completely new to this and dont get the links. it doesnt explain anything step by step. please just tell me what i should do [19:55] erUSUL: Thank you very much for explaining and your help. [19:55] tripelb: the phrase 'low level ntfs format' isent really right. :) a 'low level format' is lower then the filesystem. from wha ti recall in my OLD days. [19:56] intick, that sounds like a permissions issue. Can you do it in a terminal without root? [19:56] bullgard4: no problem [19:56] Dr_Willis, kind as you were to answer, I am not advanced enough to understand the first comment you made. [19:56] l [19:56] * tripelb goes to look up what a low level format really is. [19:56] low-level formatting - (computer science) the format of sectors on the surface of a hard disk drive so that the operating system can access them and setting a starting position [19:56] noonian: no in terminale it works with sudo [19:56] bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/8G09W5tT [19:56] LSeactuary: did you read the link i gave you? [19:56] bonjoyee: yes sudo [19:56] its pretty clear [19:56] tripelb: low level = think of paper pulp getting pressed into actual 'sheets' :) [19:56] intick, and not without sudo? [19:57] KM0201 - did you send anything? [19:57] yes [19:57] what did you send.... i dont recognise your name? [19:57] Can anyone help me get OSS working? [19:57] noonian: no, this is normal i've configured it so, it's needs sudo r gksu to start, but when i try to put the command line in any shortcut it does not work i maybe dont do it well :S [19:57] Dr_Willis, yes a low level format would be lower than the filesystem. In fact I do believe that any format is lower than the file system. --Hey, I would like a computer explaination not an artpaper one. I have to decide how and when that would apply to electronics so it's not too useful to me. [19:57] Some try Ubuntu based distro for netbook- Jolicloud? I have some questions. [19:57] tripelb: in this day and age. i think if you ever 'have' to do a true low level format. well.. the hd may be in big trouble. :) [19:57] tripelb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting#Low-level_formatting_.28LLF.29_of_hard_disks [19:58] LSeactuary: i PM'd it to you... but lets just say, if you Googled "Macbuntu" and clicked on the 3rd link.. you'd likely have your answers [19:58] whats OSS? [19:58] So can anyone help me with the not being able to find dev/sbd3 or root.disk? [19:58] LSeactuary: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412086 [19:58] Or am I wasting my time? [19:58] hi! i just installed 10.10 (64bit). made all upgrades and dist-upgrades with apt-get, but I see now under System->About Ubuntu that I'm suddenly using 11.04? anyone experienced this? if i have accidentially upgraded to the alpha or so, how can i revert it? [19:58] noonian: tried SH and simple shrcut .. none works === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [19:58] oh - i havent got my PM open... ill check now [19:58] intick: is the entire command on one line in the script.. [19:58] on ubuntu 10.10, does anyone know where you configure the display resolution? [19:58] tripelb: if you ever hear someone use the term 'you need to low level format' --- red flags.. and alarms. :) should be going off. [19:58] TheShoemaker: wubi problems are often hard to track down... [19:58] bonjoyee: yep [19:58] Some try Ubuntu based distro for netbook- Jolicloud? I have some questions. [19:58] Alright then, wasting my time it is. [19:58] tripelb: either they are not using the term ritht.. or the HD is in a very bad state [19:58] thanks for the link Dr_Willis but... I'd like to know what MS does in the XP slow format vs the quick-format. (I know this isnt the place to ask,, but justincase someone knows.) [19:58] hal: same here, ubuntu isn't giving me widescreen on my 32" vizio tv [19:59] help with widescreen on 32" hdtv [19:59] have seen the same problem fox ex : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466954 [19:59] tripelb: verifs the filesystem/blocks like badblocks does [19:59] bonjoyee: have seen the same problem fox ex : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466954 [19:59] VCoolio: How did you get ALSA back? [19:59] hmm linux_is_my_hero oh dear :) [19:59] tripelb: is my guess.. ask in #windows perhaps [19:59] hal: its a short-term fix until the actual hd computer mointor shows up and i have a dvi video card [19:59] suv - i get it but i still want the themechanged [20:00] linux_is_my_hero: but do you know where to configure the resolution? [20:00] how to find ip address of a website through terminal? [20:00] intick:try ./script.sh [20:00] Dr_Willis, I had a virus once, obviously windows, for which I had to follow directions which involved using DEBUG to change values. I do believe it was in the MBR. Therefore I can assume that the MBR persists through a MS format. [20:00] Km0201 - lifehacker.com? [20:00] hal: system-->preferences-->monitor [20:00] Aihetleos: just nslookup the domain, or dig it [20:00] LSeactuary: install the 'gnome-art' program and play with all the themes you can download. [20:00] tried .. i'll retry [20:01] tripelb: the MBR is one small part at the front of the hard drive. [20:01] Dr_willis - is the apple mac one there? [20:01] tripelb: its not an actual filesystem [20:01] it's only showing 800x600 and 640x480 [20:01] LSeactuary: theres Dozens of apple-cloneish themes out there. [20:01] yes but i want a safe one... [20:01] LSeactuary: you seem to want to have this "handed" to you.. you're going to have to look and see what suits your style... that link i gave you, is one of many on this subject [20:01] hal: update your drivers for your video card [20:01] intick: elset try putting sudo in the script.. [20:01] LSeactuary: you want apple - use a mac, if not, select a them and use linux [20:02] LSeactuary: there are many out there, look for yourself, [20:02] LSeactuary: you are just installing a theme.. the worse that could do from the gnome-art app. is give you an ugly theme for your one user. [20:02] I'm fed up with this. Why does sound work perfectly in a DSL distribution from 2004 but Ubuntu 10.04 crackles and pops and cliks?? [20:02] bonjoyee: already done .. tried also gnome-terminal -e 'my command' same .. it opens the window but server still not started [20:02] deddly: possibly because the newer kernel module has less support for your card, or there is bug in pulse audio [20:02] bonjoyee: realy weird [20:02] deddly: cuz ubuntu 10.04 is like rice crispies? [20:02] deddly: ive seen some issues with sound card/power saver features causing pops and noises when the card is woken up. [20:02] i dont want it handed to me but i am new and dont get this.i did google around but then you gys put me off installing it because y ou said my OS system may crash. ive just installed this so sorry if im asking again and again and making sure of stuff before i jump in [20:03] Woh… 1471 users? oO [20:03] . [20:03] LSeactuary: install gnome-art, run it.. explore the themes it can download for you for the next 4 hrs.. [20:03] Some try Ubuntu based distro for netbook- Jolicloud? I have some questions. [20:03] LSeactuary: well you've been given the same answers again and again.... [20:03] bonjoyee: aaaaaaaaa worked [20:03] hi! i just installed 10.10 (64bit). made all upgrades and dist-upgrades with apt-get, but I see now under System->About Ubuntu that I'm suddenly using 11.04? anyone experienced this? if i have accidentially upgraded to the alpha or so, how can i revert it? [20:03] Zacol: Jolicloud has its own support areas. its not 'ubuntu' and personally. i found its support areas VERY VERY lacking. [20:03] intick:how? [20:03] bonjoyee: with sudo ./script.sh [20:03] what answers - eveyones saying different things [20:04] Dr_Willis: This is constans, regular popping [20:04] Zacol: theres the #jolicloud cjhannel. [20:04] hmm..had done this before.. [20:04] Dr_Willis: constant* [20:04] and KM0201 - i havent got a PM from you [20:04] Crym: did you use update-manager ? [20:04] *how true is this? that wireless cards works better in ubuntu than in linux, how can be that possible?* [20:04] deddly: check the forums and bug reports for your exact chipset see if any one has some potential fixs perjhaps. [20:04] bonjoyee: i may have tried with no sudo befor the ./scipt.sh thx a lot mate :) [20:04] LSeactuary: well, i told you how to find the link i gave you. [20:04] ikonia, no, apt-get through terminal [20:04] Crym: its a bug you are on 10.10 [20:04] intick: u want to run this on startup? [20:04] itaylor57: there is a bug on 10.10 that upgrades you to 11.04 ? [20:04] n-iCe: i doubt if its very true at all, since the phrase 'than in linux' is.. basically wrong. [20:04] yes - is it http://lifehacker.com/5665765/macbuntu-makes-your-linux-desktop-look-like-mac-os-x [20:05] can someone help me [20:05] LSeactuary: is it the third link, when you google macbuntu, like i said? [20:05] I asked my question a little bit ago and still no answer [20:05] thomc: you still there? it took a bit longer [20:05] Dr_Willis: All I've found is people saying sound works perfectly out of the box. Now I've tried installing Open Sound System and I get no sound at all, the player just skips to the next track on the playlist [20:05] ikonia: no the system menu says you are at 11.04 [20:05] yes it was the 3rd link on my computer [20:05] shcherbak: still here [20:05] Dr_Willis tell me your experience, because I have installed linux distro, but the signal strenght is not even equal than windows, windows works better in this way, what do you think [20:05] LSeactuary: .... [20:05] i just want to know its safe to install it [20:05] let me paste it somewhere [20:05] n-iCe: perhaps you pasted your question wrong.. You dident mention 'windows' originally. [20:05] bonjoyee: not at the moment but if you can tel me how to do taht it'll help me for later [20:05] itaylor57: doesn't on mine [20:05] intick: in that case the sudo will not work [20:05] LSeactuary: there's an inherent risk when you install anything third party.. whether its from that site, or from gnome-look.org, or whatever... [20:06] ikonia: System Help shows it [20:06] Dr_Willis maybe, I mean, will a wireless card work better in a linux box than in windows? [20:06] okay but it 'should' be okay right? [20:06] LSeactuary: 99% of the time, it's not an issue.. then there's that 1%.. [20:06] ikonia: System About [20:06] bonjoyee: i can add it in initrd or somthing ? [20:06] itaylor57: no it doesn't [20:06] n-iCe: it depends on teh drivers.. and the wireless makers spend more time and $$$ on the drivers for windows.. so i would not be suprised tthat the windows drivers would be more efficient and have more features [20:06] ikonia: I'll pastebin [20:06] tripelb: the MBR is one small part at the front of the hard drive. --- I know that. Remember I said that any format was lower level than a file system. AFAIK that shows I know that the mbr is lower than a filesystem since no filesystem would persist after any format. [20:06] Dr_Willis iwl3945 [20:07] itaylor57: You are using Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat - [20:07] KM0201 - okay ill keep my eyes open - thanks! [20:07] itaylor57, ok, so i'm still using 10.10? got some problems installing the kernel-modules for vmware 7.1. gonna failsearch a bit more then [20:07] n-iCe: some wireless cards are very very well supported in linux. so with the more efficient linux. i could see how they could 'benchmark' better in linux then windows. under similer tests [20:07] Crym: show me the output of "uname -a" please [20:07] one other question - ive got a burning programme on a disc (ISO file) - how do install it on ubuntu? it it like windows - i can just intall stuff? [20:07] Morjens kaikki! Hello everybody! Hey på alla! -- How is it going? [20:07] tripelb: you format to make a filesystem. .... [20:07] intick: or maybe add to root crontab ..as a reboot job..but the classical way is to add is as a service...as that ensures proper shutdown of it [20:08] tripelb: unless you mean after a 'low level format' :) [20:08] LSeactuary: what is the program called [20:08] ikonia: yep 64bit and my System -> About unbuntuhas in the text you are at 11.04 [20:08] ikonia, Linux crym 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 11:55:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [20:08] Dr_Willis what distro would you say is the better supported in wireless card thingies? [20:08] Hello [20:08] itaylor57: not on mine [20:08] sonic digital media home edition [20:08] n-iCe: no idea. i rarely use wirless. i would think most disrtos would be about the same if they are using the same kernel versions. [20:08] I'm kind of having a strange issue. With every other time I boot 10.10, it's incredibly slow. When I reboot and let the machine sit for about a minute before I use it, it's fine. Anything I can do to fix this? [20:08] itaylor57: it's not a huge issue, it does the same thing in mine.... [20:08] ok, thanks!

Now, that same 'nomodeset' makes Ubuntu 10.10 unable to set the video mode on bootup and thus it fails on bootup before it can even get to GDM. I'd like my backlight controls...but where do I even start? [23:00] JeopardySholdenK, or not opening windows :P [23:00] CHiLLZ: ubuntu-desktop [23:01] ok so i already have ubuntu-desktop installed but it asys its running but all i ever get is a terminal screen. no gui atall, do you know the problem?

Works for me! [23:03] ".. " [23:03] i dont have that menu-lst [23:03] menu.lst [23:03] meekwarrior: help for using this network : ask in #freenode please [23:03] my GUI was working now it is not... any ideas on why that is?

[23:17] CensoredBiscuit : Do You think that sinan_aykut should go for external graphic device? I guess there is some which goes to usb or something? [23:17] CensoredBiscuit, just a FYI,,, Intel is about to change that, they're working on a linux driver that will eliminate a need for Discreet graphics.. ;) [23:17] CensoredBiscuit: where does it store the passwords? [23:17] I'm attempting to access a share on my Win7 machine from Ubuntu Server 10.04, could someone assist me?

[23:22] processes* [23:22] hi all [23:22] I've been having some trouble installing 10.10 on an older Compaq laptop. After the install finishes, everything seems fine, but as soon as I boot, grub fails to load and I get a basic bash shell. I chrooted in and reinstalled grub, but when grub loads now, it fails as soon as I select Ubuntu with the message "error: out of disk" - Any ideas what could be going wrong? [23:22] sean93 ps will show running processes [23:22] sinan_aykut are You here anymore? [23:22] Sean93: ps -ef | grep skype or use top or htop, or pkill skype [23:22] If I create a user and allow the user to use 'sudo', how do I make sure they don't fuck up the OS or peek in other users home dirs? [23:23] JeopardySholdenK, i work at HP, on the Linux Development team, i deal with Intel, Novell, ATI/AMD, and many other vendors ,,, so what i have access to is not distributable ... [23:23] I have ubuntu 10.10 64 bit but when I installed usplash and changed it it does not boot anymore, after the splash it goes blank and nothing happens and I have o hard shutdown [23:23] camonz: Your need to use tab space between date, hour, commands... [23:24] any reason why rsync -zxhvr would be rscyincing files that already exist in the destination dir? nothing has changed between the files either.. [23:24] seaphor if HP has a linux devo team how come it voided my software warrenty installing it ? xD [23:24] jackdi0: ?

[23:26] Methose, yes,, try cifs [23:26] CensoredBiscuit woided what? [23:26] mount: Key has expired [23:26] SeaPhor, fair dues [23:27] have errors on bootup but they go so fast I can't read them. is there a log where I can see the errors? [23:27] Advo, two different filesystems? [23:27] CensoredBiscuit, and yes, i hate that HP has EVERYTHING in their bios,,, some platforms wont even install linux because of it [23:28] can I uninstall usplash and put back the original one, that might fix the problem can I do that from grub? [23:28] this is the error I get when I try the same command with cifs: mount: Key has expired [23:28] !language > AlienDK [23:28] AlienDK, please see my private message === Look is now known as Guest92741 [23:29] p0ph3t: no, but you can skip usplash, in grub, select kernel line, hit e and modify the line, remove splash, add quiet text [23:29] what the hell [23:29] IdleOne: ?! [23:29] yes? [23:29] Methose, do u have samba installed? [23:30] p0ph3t: only works once; if usplash is the problem, you'll be able to boot, then fix it [23:30] SeaPhor, I actually love HP. [23:30] is there a way to confirm that? I thought that I chose the option to install samba as I was building the server [23:30] Good equipment [23:30] IdleOne: What did I do?! [23:30] p0ph3t: I mean, it works again, but it's not permanent [23:30] um..... [23:30] AlienDK: Ubuntu channels are family friendly, that means no cursing please. [23:31] AlienDK: read your line at 00:22 CET [23:31] camonz: YOu need to use tab space between column.. [23:31] VCoolio: thanks I will try that now [23:31] heh, nm wow I did not, I used sudo apt-get install samba4 >.< [23:31] This is bullshit. "Family friendly". Only a moron would be offended by a combination of letters. [23:31] lol [23:31] and these morons are usually religious too [23:31] AlienDK, lets move on [23:31] AlienDK combinations of letters start wars. [23:32] camonz: otherwise you will have problems.. [23:33] ok, even with samba installed, I get the error mount: Key has expired when sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.210:/music/ /home/notroot/music -o username=Guest,password= [23:33] jackdi0: in the crontab? that kinda makes sense; what about cron.log showing the command being executed [23:36] AlienDK: you should be able to speak in channel again. thank you for your understanding.
