[00:06] obiwan_: You don't use dist-upgrade to change ubuntu versions. If you're running Ubuntu Desktop, go to the Software Sources and set it to check for normal releases, then use the Update Manager. On a server, run "sudo aptitude install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade" [00:06] lol @ sam-_- :) [00:07] Hi, I had a question about Bash scripts specifically the command sed [00:07] !ipod | magicjoe [00:07] magicjoe: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:07] Darael: what is dist-upgrade then? i kind of recall i've used dist-upgrade before to upgrade my ubuntu version [00:07] how would I go about adding/removing lines using sed [00:07] Wolf95: good luckw with sed,would be eaiser learn perl [00:08] do you know of any good basic guides? [00:08] obiwan_: That would have been ages ago. dist-upgrade has in fact been renamed to full-upgrade but it's still recognised; the old name is what it is for historical reasons. [00:08] !upgrade | Wolf95 [00:08] Wolf95: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:08] cjdevlin cjdevlin its not working [00:08] ? [00:08] What can I do to make ubuntu more exploit/hack proof? [00:09] guys I'm having trouble wiht SystemRescue CD can anyone help me ????!!!!! [00:09] i have a problem [00:09] I'm not looking to update. [00:09] with [00:09] Schumann, not turn it on? [00:09] my bt4 [00:09] Wolf95: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-17 [00:09] oh Darael thanks :). still i'm an apt-get fan. do you think i can upgrade with it? [00:09] Other than not turning it on. [00:09] obiwan_: It used to be that you'd change your sources.list to point at the new version and use dist-upgrade. The update-manager thing is much safer because it deals with quirks of some packages that need to be installed out of order. [00:09] !enter } Guest12013 and BT isnt' supported here [00:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:09] can u help me [00:09] ? [00:09] Schumann, use a proxy [00:09] !enter | Guest12013 BT isnt' supported here [00:09] Guest12013 BT isnt' supported here: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:09] obiwan_: I strongly advise using the update-manager. [00:09] Are there any free secure proxies out there? [00:10] Schumann, proxies are for servicing.. you can proxy just about anything these days.. [00:10] Schumann: Almost certainly not. If there were, they'd be kept very secret. [00:10] Wolf95: what are you trying to do? [00:10] Guest12013: Try #backtrack-linux [00:10] lol @ Darael :) [00:10] Schumann: There aren't any significant exploits that can affect an Ubuntu desktop anyway, there really aren't. [00:11] BernardV: Well, it's true. If they were known, they'd be flooded with traffic! [00:11] Schumann, don't listen to Darael ... there are many free proxy servers and agent out there.. [00:11] i have a problem with the graphical driver nvidia 6600 agp [00:11] yagoo: Yes, and they're almost certainly not trustworthy. [00:11] Darael: Like tor, which is a free and secure proxy ;P? [00:11] Wolf95, why not use cut= [00:11] Darael: It is, but I just like the answer :) [00:11] backtrack [00:11] :( [00:11] Wolf95, if you just wnat to remove lines [00:11] Guest12013: Then ask in the channel for your distribution. Backtrack isn't supported here, as you've been told. [00:11] Schumann, say u runnig apache server.. you can even use a bounch proxy for outside-to-in.. if you use firefox and want to proxy it you can use squid.. to proxy from local-to-internet [00:11] Darael: ok mate i'll try with full-upgrade. i have nothing to loose anyway and if that doesn't work ill go the update-manager way. thanks ! [00:11] rww: Tor is onion routing. Just because you can use it to proxy data doesn't make it a proxy, if you see what I mean. [00:11] Guest12013: if you need help w/ backgrack, it's not supported here. [00:11] guest12013 are you a h4x0r? [00:12] hidnshadows: if eh is, eh's a bad one, he has to go to IRC to figure out how to use the tools eh downloaded [00:12] Ah, I'm familiar with squid. I used to use it with pfsense. [00:12] Tor isn't safe, if I run an exit node I can track everything "somebody" does... [00:12] BernardV: Umm, yes. Just like with any other proxy... [00:12] ok [00:12] km0201 is eh a pretty cool guy? [00:12] Schumann, you can even go down to acl's with selinux ... [00:12] im sorry [00:12] :'( [00:12] rww: Indeed [00:13] hidnshadows: just not very l33t. [00:13] I can't seem to search the listings by topic how do i do that ¨/msg alis list -topic "System Rescue"¨ won't work [00:13] The only proxy I use is a "ssh -D [port]" to my own server [00:14] You can use selinux with Ubuntu? [00:14] Schumann, i tend to use (firefox) browser.cache.memory.enable and have disabled browser.cache.disk.enable=false << this is what i use on all my linuxes.. [00:14] can any one tall me how to set differnt wallpaper for cube desktop in compiz [00:14] Wait I need to make sure I know what selinux is, compared to what I think it is. [00:14] Selinux is similar to apparmor right? [00:14] hello folks [00:15] BernardV, if they use ssl then u can only see were they are connecting to [00:15] how to set different wallpaper for compz [00:15] Ahhh, I shouldn't be in here. I'm a linux newbie. I'm just embarassing myself. [00:15] BernardV, pretty nice i would say [00:15] sam-_-: That's true.. but most data isn't ssl [00:15] KM0201 like this? [00:15] pops: sing the hallelujah chorus! [00:16] Schumann, you're asking more like #linux stuff.. anything ubuntu related should be asked [00:16] BernardV, y. you can't just use tor. you have to be very carefull indeed [00:16] KM0201: im sorry, i thought what i was sending wasnt a pm [00:16] 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? [00:16] sam-_-: Indeed, it's just a "warning" that nothing is "safe" ;) [00:16] BernardV, carefull -l [00:17] KM0201 um, you want to hear what my network device is?

[01:13] chaospsychex: what file manager are you using? [01:14] KM0201: cool! that's better than 32 bit, right? [01:14] pops: i don't think thats the problem, but sometimes the 64bit is not quite as evolved as 32bit when it comes to hardware... [01:14] why the heck was someone in here as pops_?? [01:14] 32bit is more supported as of now [01:14] :( [01:14] pops: well its cool when everything works... [01:14] chaospsychex: are you sure it's mounted? does the user that is trying to see it have the privliges to see it?

[01:15] KM0201: that wasnt what i meant, but nevermind it [01:17] pops: hmm, i dunno.. most reports seem to suggest it works, but i only find references to it on 32bit. [01:17] Ademan: are you trying to setup you home computer as the reciever of your email on the pop port? I'm not sure why att would block that [01:18] KM0201: i wish i could remove 32 bits from my computer [01:18] KM0201: or at least 20 [01:18] pops: well, just because you have 64bit hardware, doesn't mean you can't install a 32bit OS [01:18] french server please ? [01:18] sacarlson: IMAP for incoming, SMTP for outgoing, IMAP works fine, SMTP isn't for whatever reason [01:18] Ademan: if it had tons of spam on it I guess I don't blame them [01:18] KM0201: just makes stuff harder? [01:19] im back [01:19] Ademan: maybe they detect you sending spam? [01:19] pops: sometimes... if everything works, its great, cuz it is a *bit* faster.. but i just don't see the need for the headache w/ some of the hardware issues [01:19] sacarlson: I would hope not, I've never sent an outgoing email heh [01:19] ok ok [01:19] KM0201: i didnt choose this pc the university gave it to me [01:19] hello [01:19] there [01:20] i need help [01:20] pops: well i'm assuming you chose the OS..

This is very annoying and makes baby Jesus cry [01:58] yeah, but the cloud is just a virtual machine running ubuntu, the ssh authentication would be through ubuntu, not amazon, so it's an os issue [01:58] Rogan_: vim /etc/passwd [01:58] But I just get the rescue command line on boot now.

I'm using RVM, with ruby 1.9.2 as the default [02:12] the fs is constantly full, despite I check it and remove some stuff from it [02:12] Pudabudigada, you know how to paste bin do you need a link to one [02:13] and what I'm supposed to do with it now? "Linux is stable", my ass [02:13] vvas: what is your issue? [02:14] Yes please [02:14] switch10_, see above [02:14] nit-wit [02:14] switch: clearly the problem is that linux is unstable.... .....

[02:15] Pudabudigada, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [02:15] THanks [02:15] vvas: is your problem simply that your disk is full ? [02:15] jimkeller: sounds like it. [02:15] or maybe a configuration error? [02:15] jimkeller, it's abnormally full [02:15] I don't even know what we're talking about [02:16] free space vanished all of the sudden and I can reclaim it [02:16] *cannot [02:16] what's the output of: df -h [02:16] I'm looking for a way to change a line in a script via a script, is there a way I could delete a line and then add a line with a set string of characters?

[02:17] htfkid: having to "sudo" to make changes to the system has been a part of ubuntu forever, I think. [02:17] jimkeller, among the other unrelated things [02:18] ti know [02:18] vvas: usually when I've seen this happen before, it's a log file growing out of control somewhere [02:18] the problem is not the disk is full, the problem is I can not free space on it [02:18] Can somebody help me? [02:18] dw-, would it be ok to pm ya [02:18] Can someone help me?:o [02:19] but the thing is is that this "Executable Bit" thing is new, when i try to run a .exe that installed fine in 9.10 and told me that i could not install it in 10.04 (wine) [02:19] vvas: rm does not work? === t is now known as Guest75882 [02:19] because it said it had malware [02:19] switch10_, it does, but no space reclaimed [02:19] vvas: space isn't necessarily visible immediately [02:19] also are you sure you're rming files big enough to make a difference?

I dont know how to set up the config file [02:19] jimkeller, i've unmounted it and even checked, still 0 available [02:20] but, when did ubuntu get all paranoid of viruses anyway? there are very few! [02:20] I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu.I just installed it and it's not letting me connect to the internet.It says the wireless driver is missing.I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. My brother installed it and his wireless driver is working fine. [02:20] htfkid2000, after several expoits with .desktop files [02:20] htfkid: it's not really about viruses as much as it is about mistakes [02:20] vvas: you're sure the filesystem isn't mounted as read only? [02:21] I'm getting a rather peculiar problem now, I cannot move the 'Results.txt' file to my floppy disk to move it to this computer [02:21] lol of course it isn't [02:21] Question, can adobe exploits compromise Ubuntu desktops? [02:21] dut the thing is, this same type of thing microsoft introduced in windows vista and made microsoft lame [02:21] Schumann, if targeted especially [02:21] *but [02:21] UAC wasn't a bad idea, it was just implemented poorly [02:21] in Windows 7 I actually don't mind it [02:21] Are there ways to limit the risk of using Adobe flash? [02:22] I like knowing when something is trying to update my core system files/registry/etc [02:22] jimkeller, if MS set up with a root password needed as your supposer to life would be easier for sure [02:22] diecastarts: yup [02:22] vvas: empty the trash? :) [02:22] Can anyone please help me? [02:23] LOL [02:23] MrRyanThai: did you google dell inspiron e1505 ubuntu network driver ? [02:23] it's not joke, the disk is permanently full and I cannot even log in graphically [02:24] vvas: wasnt meant to be a joke, boot a live disc and clear up some space. that sucks and might break your system :p [02:24] vvas: disk full wrecks things ive heard g/l [02:24] lol I tried boot disk, it still shows that file system at 0 available [02:25] use a rescue disk like gparted or trinity rescue kit [02:25] vvas, it might be a hardware issue [02:25] dw-: or jus boot to a prompt from any cd and mount ..

[03:14] glitchd: you shouldn't need to compile anything for that, libnotify support is included by default [03:14] Diamondcite aite thnx, i m actually learning programing in java [03:14] TheRufus: but I guess I see your point with raid5 you will have 3 disk in raid and the spare will be the one you boot from. That might save you some problems for your first one. [03:15] I have a 6 core and 8GB ram, and other than running games, is there a compelling reason to stay with windows 7 or should I switch to ubuntu? I use my machine mainly for running xbmc, MAME & virtualbox [03:15] glitchd: Tools/Plugins/Libnotify Popups [03:15] trism, i was changing the notify package to display differently [03:15] D3luSi0n4L, it should,, as a precaution you can go into BIO and set the settings to DEFAULT,, [03:15] industry__: Thanks for that, sacarlson: I have 5 disks not 6 ;) [03:15] jeez [03:15] lots of linux dorks in here [03:15] D3luSi0n4L, wait,, do u want to keep the windows that u have?? [03:15] yes [03:16] shingen, with 6 core and 8GB ram u can run windows in a virtual machine and be fine I think. Or just dual boot [03:16] Im just gonna delete the partition and the swap partition [03:16] Rufus, I would put your system disk on the motherboard SATA though. just saying. [03:16] and add them to my windows 7 partition [03:16] dudes how do I mount a hard drive [03:16] how can i register my self in this channel [03:16] dmitry_, wth is your problem? [03:16] D3luSi0n4L, do you have your windows installation disk? [03:16] TheRufus: raid6 uses 4 drivers https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [03:16] whats the average age in here ... 13 ? HAHA @ these nicks [03:16] industry__: plan is to install system on a 1tb, then transfer the entire FS over to the RAIDed partition once it's created [03:16] glitchd: yes, or: sudo apt-get install pidgin-dev; [03:16] dmitry_: If you think everyone in here is a dork. This is not the place for you. [03:17] whats a command that will download and install java on my computer [03:17] no here ill brb [03:17] oh shit, i must of offended someone [03:17] i did it my way, im gonna reboot and make sure it works [03:17] what is command line tool to see drives? [03:17] just cuz im citing the facts [03:17] trism, thx ill try again nd see if it works this time [03:17] lol, here we go [03:17] dmitry_, go troll somewhere else [03:17] ki___: except for the latest games, which is why I'm running windows 7 as the host OS right now... just wondering if there was an overwhelming or compelling reason to switch [03:17] TheRufus: looks like the install does all that for you [03:17] shingen, to switch FROM windows to LINUX? [03:18] shingen: you can dual book [03:18] how can i register my self in this channel [03:18] eh, boot [03:18] 90% of the questions in here must be about dual booting [03:18] guys [03:18] how can I list drives [03:18] shadaloo: fdisk -l [03:18] switch10_: :x [03:18] shingen, I switched b/c I don't like being forced to upgrade, I dont like paying for windows, I don't like how often it crashes. I don't like letting other people use my computer and them hosing it with spyware/malware, etc [03:18] are yo usure [03:18] shadaloo: yeah, that one [03:18] and shingen i switched b/c I wanted to learn more about linux. [03:18] rm -rf / [03:18] try that one [03:18] switch10_: nothing came up [03:18] shingen, and I am happy [03:19] should fix all your problems [03:19] shadaloo: sudo [03:19] channel operator needs to kick dmitry_ [03:19] lulz [03:19] Didn't have a chance to trigger. [03:19] trigger what? [03:19] dmitry_: dont tell people to run stuff like that [03:19] why not? [03:19] okay [03:19] thanks [03:19] if they run it, they probably don't need to be running a nix box in the first place [03:20] This is a support channel. Please be constructive. [03:20] ki___: I have two headless linux file servers and I'm running a linux box as virtual machine on the windows 7 host machine, so I'm not new to linux... just looking for compelling reasons [03:20] trail and error [03:20] trail and error [03:20] how can I copy hpfs/ntfs to my linux drive? [03:20] sudo rm-dmitry :) [03:20] oh ouch [03:20] relief, thanks IdleOne [03:20] can anyone hear me? [03:20] shingen, I've lost two days of work because of linux idiosyncrasises [03:20] dmitry_: this is a support channel. not everyone here is an expert. dont be a dick [03:21] plz help me when i log in to chat a message pop up stating that nick name is not register where can i register my nick name ?

[03:21] Lint01: ??? not sure what you mean... [03:21] icoblue636: go ahead and ask your question [03:21] icoblue636: ask [03:21] icoblue636: Ask first someone might answer later :) [03:21] shingen, so I would stick to win7 if I could afford it [03:21] Diamondcite: for some reason it's not mounting this boot [03:22] using android and unable to get help on android forums [03:22] shishirdwivedi20, u dont need to register,, its just an option === ireez is now known as geboy [03:22] I left it on since I booted from windows [03:22] shadaloo: I don't think ubuntu automounts NTFS, you usually have to pick it from the "Places" menu.. [03:22] rooted droidx with adbshell [03:22] Diamondcite: for some reason it's not listed this time :( [03:22] trojan_spike ok [03:22] but it listed in fdisk [03:22] /dev/sdc1 [03:23] it has boot * [03:23] shadaloo: In this case NTFS might be marked as unclean. In which case you can try a forced mount (please read a guide for this regarding ntfs-3g mounting.) or reboot and let windows do a chkdisk on itself. [03:23] renamed files to disable them, they're still there under ls, but when i try to rename them back, i get error: no such file or directory [03:23] any ideas? [03:23] Diamondcite: thx mate [03:24] icoblue636: renamed them how? [03:24] icoblue636: so when you ls -l, what do you see? [03:24] icoblue636: did you use special characters? You can ls -b to see special chars [03:24] * Diamondcite fades. [03:24] hi i have a ipv6 address but i can't ping it. it says sendmsg not permitted [03:24] does anybody here knows how to edit network manager via terminal? [03:25] for example, i run ls -l. i see all the files on the phone's app directory: tons of .apk files, and the ones i renamed to, for example, CityID.bak [03:25] how can i allow ipv6 in ufw? === shishirdwivedi20 is now known as shishir [03:25] i have tried to allow it to the ipv6 address but i still can't ping it or access my ipv6 via ssh [03:25] -bash: useradd: command not found === shishir is now known as geek [03:25] -bash: adduser: command not found -bash: useradd: command not found ,,,, what i should try ? [03:25] now, CityID.bak shows up under ls -l, but when i " ls *.bak ", i get "no such file or directory". I'm stumped [03:25] icoblue636: and then when you go to mv them back to their old names, it says no such file/directory? === geek is now known as Guest31152 [03:26] ipv6 ping: sendmsg not permitted. how to allow firewall ufw to allow my ipv6 to ssh? [03:26] industry_: yes [03:26] just do iptables -F :) [03:26] okay [03:26] so the best way to do this [03:26] icoblue636: can you do anything with these files at all? i.e. touch CityID.bak? [03:26] is boot back to windows [03:26] safely remove [03:26] nope [03:26] then boot linux [03:26] -bash: adduser: command not found -bash: useradd: command not found ,,,, what i should try ? [03:26] shadaloo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:27] then reconnect external hd [03:27] whats up [03:27] ? [03:27] how about with the old filenames? does that work? [03:27] and it only shows under directory ls, but not under ls *.bak [03:27] nick123 do iptables-save and then iptables -F [03:27] see if it works [03:27] nope, old filenames dont work, either [03:27] can you see what im writin [03:27] then when u figure out ur firewall do iptables-restore [03:27] does anybody here knows how to edit network manager via terminal? i need to remotely change the network configuration on my sis pc, its in different city as me [03:27] try this: ls *.bak* [03:27] well that didn't work :( [03:28] industry_: wait one [03:28] apparently it's an issue with compiz. gnome-do tries to load before compiz ad it messes it up somehow [03:28] ip6tables-save to what location? [03:28] that's it [03:28] all of them showed [03:28] i see [03:28] u dont need location for that [03:28] then there must be a trailing space or something with them [03:28] can you add an extra space after the ".bak" [03:28] ?? [03:28] how about ip6tables -F [03:28] i didnt think that was possible. i never thought to look for them [03:28] it flushies ur tables [03:29] give me a few minutes to kick it around [03:29] thx [03:29] u will be clean no firewall [03:29] it's possible. odd for that to happen I guess but you can have spaces in file names [03:29] true [03:29] i still get ping:sendmsg: operation not permitted [03:29] well, and i wrote the script i used to rename them in notepad. not all that surprising, i guess [03:29] do you have tab completion? if you do it will make it easier to rename the files to something sane [03:29] i get that too [03:29] in my ufw firewall i allowed my ipv6 to ssh [03:29] if i'd known it was possible, i'd have watched for it [03:29] then its not the firewall that is the problem [03:29] idk what tab completion is [03:30] ahhhh, notepad. I think I know what's up. it added a CR character to the names [03:30] ? [03:30] whatis? [03:30] Windows uses CR + LF whenever it does line breaks [03:30] damn [03:30] compare to UNIX, which uses LF only. [03:30] my -P INPUT FORWARD and OUTPUT is set to DROP by default [03:30] how do i remove it [03:30] is there any config file for ip6tables that i can configure it to ACCEPT? [03:30] ex CityID.bak [03:30] so basically what happened is that CR, which is an invisible character basically was added to all your files [03:31] iptables -L [03:31] i tried ip6tables -P INPUT ACCEPT, OUTPUT ACCEPT, FORWARD ACCEPT [03:31] to see the list of ur tables [03:31] that's probably why it gave me all the inexplicable errors [03:31] so ah, hm, give me a minute to whip up something you can run to fix that [03:31] but how can i add in the list? [03:31] youre a lifesaver [03:32] ufw list? [03:32] im trying to get ubuntu running on my new laptop having some trouble with finding drivers can anyone help [03:32] whats a good exploit for port 80 [03:33] Oh no, if someone replied I didn't see it, sorrt. [03:33] i have a toshiba satellite a665 my main issue is i cant connect to the internet [03:33] do you have a backtrack [03:33] thewarlock: first thing you need to find out is what httpd is running and then research possible exploits against that version [03:33] ok thanks [03:34] what do i do with the exploit [03:34] thewarlock: write code to exploit it :P [03:34] erasmogjr, there might not be drivers for it,, best to search forum,, using ur laptop make / model etc as a reference [03:34] how can i enable ping6? i still get sendmsg operation permitted [03:35] erasmogjr, no drivers available or made for it yet [03:35] so ubuntu is not possible option :-( [03:35] does that mean linux in general [03:36] erasmogir: Are you using wifi or a cable? [03:36] icoblue636: okay, no warranties on this, but I believe I have something for you [03:36] tried both wifi is preferred [03:37] hit me [03:37] * shingen smacks icoblue636 with a big fish. [03:37] haha [03:37] Have you looked in System>Administration>additional drivers? [03:37] first of all run this command without the trailing"|sh" to make sure it prints the right commands [03:37] erasmogjr, http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stumbleupon.com%2Fto%2Fs%2F4J7Dyt&h=b16f1 [03:38] no pm on irc? [03:38] i want to make sure i dont miss this [03:38] ls -1 *.bak* | awk -F ".bak" '{print "mv " "\"" $0 "\"", "\"" $1 ".bak\"" }' | sh [03:39] first of all you need to copy that exactly. that thing after the ls is a one, not an ell [03:39] so windows it is huh :-/ [03:39] thanks for your help anyway [03:39] erasmogjr, check in ##linux channel...maybe someone has an alternative [03:40] thanks will do [03:40] industry: ls -L or -1 [03:40] second, those are pipes. actually, you might want to copy this into like, an editor. [03:40] "ell ess minus one" [03:40] industry__: There's alot of filenames that'll make that break. A simple for-loop would be better. [03:40] sorry, too busy copying to read [03:40] lol [03:40] erasmogjr, also if not ubuntu there are other distributions avialable [03:41] geirha: there are weird chars in the filenames and my bash-fu is weak [03:41] cozziemoto, it seems to be a driver issue ,, new machine [03:41] trojan_spike, mmm for erasmogjr you mean ...yes? [03:41] i copied it out into java editor. what do i expect it to do? [03:41] yes [03:42] Hi..Where can we find the installed packages in ubuntu10.10 for copying and for installing in other pc?? [03:42] industry__: for f in ./*.bak?*; do mv "$f" "${f%.bak?*}.bak"; done [03:42] you should expect it to rename all the .bak files to .bak files, but no odd chars in the filenames [03:42] dpkg keeps giving me a ttf-mscorefonts-installer error and I can't install my programs... [03:42] trojan_spike, another distribution may have a driver for that perhpas gentoo / sabayon [03:42] I love you all! [03:42] industry: what if filenames contain _ [03:42] geirha: ah, the % construct I am unfamiliar with [03:42] i have some [03:42] icoblue636: it works with any filenames [03:43] industry__: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/100 explains it [03:43] that don't contain quotes [03:43] cozziemoto, i wouldnt think so,, alot of work is done to keep ubuntu up to date .. But he could try the forum just to see what is there if anything [03:43] but the _ is a special character, will it remove it? [03:44] icoblue636: _ is not a special character to the shell [03:45] icoblue636: if you're talking about space, it will not remove spaces inside the filenames [03:46] icoblue636: it actually takes any file that matches *.bak*, removes any part after .bak, and adds the extension .bak to that. [03:46] which has the effect of stripping trailing whitespace from your .bak*'s [03:46] so it will change CityID.bak_xxxx to CityID.bak.bak? [03:47] icoblue636: CityID.bak359082345908 -> CityID.bak [03:47] i like it. geirha, looks like it will work? [03:47] industry, i just want to make sure i'm not digging myself a deeper hole === chris_ is now known as geepee [03:48] i have very little idea which command is which there [03:48] it's fair, I wouldn't expect you to just blindly run a command. [03:48] to explain it a little better, the first part lists all files that have *.bak* in it. the second part is an awk program that writes an mv command to rename the files [03:49] and the third part pipes the command into the shell where it is executed [03:49] Hey friends. I've been having a lot of greif with ndiswrapper lately. I have the latest versions of common, utils, and ndisgtk installed. When I open ndisgtk, the window comes up just gray with nothing in it. On the console, ndiswrapper -l as well as lsusb hang until I kill the terminal. If I don't get this fixed I'll have to crawl back to Windows. Any ideas? [03:49] whatis awk? [03:49] icoblue636: I'd go with this: for f in ./*.bak?*; do echo mv "$f" "${f%.bak?*}.bak"; done [03:49] since parsing the output of ls is error-prone [03:50] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK -- it's a string processing language [03:50] i see. and with urs no ls so no parsing [03:50] icoblue636: Note that I put an echo in there, so it won't actually rename, just output the commands it would run. If it looks right, remove the echo and run it again. [03:50] Hey friends. I've been having a lot of greif with ndiswrapper lately. I have the latest versions of common, utils, and ndisgtk installed. When I open ndisgtk, the window comes up just gray with nothing in it. On the console, ndiswrapper -l as well as lsusb hang until I kill the terminal. If I don't get this fixed I'll have to crawl back to Windows. Any ideas? [03:50] i'm used to for from VBA. for works with do? [03:51] so what geirha's does is essentially the same thing but it uses bash string manipulation [03:51] and f is what? [03:51] icoblue636: You can see the syntax for for in bash by running: help for [03:51] the reason I used awk is because I don't know much about bash string manipulation [03:51] ok. bash the phone. got it. [03:51] brb' [03:53] problem geirha, do i use the last quote in your statement? [03:53] .bak" [03:53] icoblue636: Yes, all the quotes are essential. [03:53] and the trailing ; ? [03:53] this EEE 1005HA's sound doesn't seem to be working... anyone know why? [03:53] or was that actually meant as a semicolon? [03:54] does webdav sync files, or must you be connected all the time? [03:54] it is identified in lspci as "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)" [03:55] geirha: i get it now -- thanks. learned something new today. [03:55] icoblue636: Yes, you need a ; or newline before the closing "done" [03:55] ok, so i type done, also. everything after " with this: " [03:55] how i extract .tgz files "tar -xvf" wont work it says its not tar file... [03:56] gunzip [03:56] lmao. you guys are killing me [03:56] now they're named *. bakak [03:56] haha [03:57] icoblue636: Huh? [03:57] when i ran for f in ./*.bak?*; do echo mv "$f" "${f%.bak?*}.bak"; done [03:57] Jamal, why are you using the command line to unzip files is the real question [03:57] i got: [03:58] hi ppl [03:58] i want to use window7 in virtual box.tell me how much ram i should use for it, i have total of 4 gb of ram [03:58] ./CityID.bakak [03:58] 2gig [03:58] 2GB is plenty. [03:58] when i ls they still show as .bak though [03:58] icoblue636: Ah, the filename probably has carriage returns [03:58] yes [03:58] yeah, it does [03:58] 2gib? [03:58] icoblue636: for f in ./*.bak?*; do echo mv "$f" "${f%.bak?*}.bak"; done | cat -e [03:59] could the virtualbox sdk be used to create a game system emulator? [03:59] say playstation 2? [03:59] amit: System requirements for Windows 7 days 1GB of ram for 32bit [04:00] icoblue636: That should show carriage returns as ^M and newlines as $ [04:00] If I have the private and public key of a server, can I use that to authenticate to it? [04:00] i got *.bak$ === bombshell is now known as bombshell[a] [04:00] Diamondcite: so how much ram i should use for window 7 1.5 gb [04:00] amit: It really depends on how much you intend to do inside it. [04:01] Diamondcite: i have total of 4gib [04:01] *.bak^M > *.bak$ [04:01] you can change after [04:01] 2 people told you 2gig [04:01] amit: Most early windows 7 netbooks had 1GB of ram included. [04:01] I have a problem where my touchpad keeps re-enabling itself even though I've tried both settings of disabled / disable with other mouse connected. Anyone have recommendations on how I can get the setting to stick? [04:01] icoblue636: Looks right then. Remove the "| cat -e" and the "echo" and it'll do the rename. [04:01] Is there a hardware button? [04:02] r00t4r3d: one question is virtual box os(wind7) detect my pen drive or cd/dvd when i insert it in my usb port of dvd rom [04:02] how would I go about extracting a bunch of different zip files into one folder using archive manager ? [04:02] anyone know about ethernet cards and dhcp [04:02] lifesave [04:02] saver [04:03] cd/dvd yeah , usb stick meh , should might not [04:03] *.bak now lists all of my renamed files [04:03] i can't thank you both enough [04:03] Joeoshawa:what do you need to know? [04:03] amit what wait [04:03] one of my ethernet cards is giving me this error (eth1): device state change: 7 -> 9 (reason 5) [04:03] nvm [04:04] amit: VirtualBox (Personal use edition) supports USB drives, But you have you select the device AFTER the VM is started. [04:04] r00t4rd3d:is there any way to use pen drives in virtual bbox [04:04] how would I go about extracting a bunch of different zip files into one folder using archive manager ? [04:04] i'm going to have to brush up on my bash [04:04] lol [04:04] databits: exactly that way. open them up, extract them to the same folder. [04:04] Joeoshawa: what Ethernet card do you have? [04:04] Diamondcite: how to use pen drive? any tips [04:04] databits: you need to select the folder to be extracted to for each zip file [04:04] geirha,industry: thanks again for all your help [04:04] i am trying to run a thin client and i spent hours tracking down an error that turned out to be me not configuring my second ethernet card [04:04] one sec [04:04] amit: Moment.. starting it.. [04:04] icoblue636: yep, good luck [04:05] thx. i'll need it [04:05] has anyone here installed ubuntu on their cr-48? or does anyone here have a cr-48? [04:05] icoblue636: If I'd known you just wanted to remove a trailing carriage return, the solution would be simpler ^^ [04:05] haha [04:05] i didnt even know notepad could add that [04:05] amit: Do you a menu called "Devices" ? [04:05] Diamoncite: when i insert pen drive in usb port the virtual box doesnot detect it [04:05] Why did I get highlighted? [04:05] MTec007: do you need a guide on how to install? [04:05] so how would i write a script if i wanted it to run properly? [04:05] that's the default behavior of notepad and all of Windows text files. [04:05] no, i found it.. just wondering how well..how smooth it runs [04:05] how can i check in command line [04:05] rigved: is there a way to highlight and extract all the files to a single folder like you can with winrar ? or do you have to go threw and do it seperately with each zip archive ? [04:06] icoblue636: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/052 [04:06] amit: VB will not let windows see a pen drive the moment you insert it, Since ONLY either the HOST or GUEST can see it, both cannot see the same pendrive. [04:06] if the wifi/bluetooth?/3G modem are supported in ubuntu [04:06] amit: Try Devices -> USB Devices -> {pick your device here for the drive...} [04:07] Diamondcite: thanx [04:07] there's a program called dos2unix which can convert windows-formatted line endings to the dos equivalent. it is probably not on your phone though.

SUSPECT LAST SEEN IN ##POLITICS AND #WRONGPLANET.PLEASE DIAL 911 IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION /!\/!\ [04:07] eh, sorry. from the windows format to the unix format [04:07] Diamondcite: but under device option pen drive option is missing [04:07] nvm yea benchmark [04:08] MTec007, you got a cr-48 ? [04:08] databits: for each zip file, you need to separately set the same folder to be extracted. even in WinRAR, you will need to separately set the folder for each zip archive [04:08] amit: No USB Devices? Are you using the one from Software Manager? (VirtualBox-OSE) [04:08] Joeoshawa: not sure, Google the command [04:08] ya' [04:08] icoblue636: Most editors will allow you to choose what line-endings to use. notepad just isn't one of those. [04:08] r00t4rd3d: yeah :) [04:08] nvm yea benchmark [04:08] Diamondcite:yes [04:08] for free ? [04:08] ok. sounds like scripting this to happen automatically just isnt going to happen [04:08] when you get it ? [04:08] amit: Please get the one from virtualbox.org get the PE (Personal Use Closed source) edition. As that is the one with USB support. [04:09] geirha: which one can i use then? [04:09] 2nd day shipping too :) [04:09] r00t4rd3d: yes sir.. not even a shipping charge. i got it yesterday.. UPS.. [04:09] rigved in winrar you can highlight all the files, right click, and select extract here and they will all extract to the same folder. If I try and do this within linux it is extracting to all seperate folders. [04:09] icoblue636: Well, any linux editor would do. Why are you writing bash scripts in notepad anyway? [04:09] MTec007, damn i signed up but nothing yet [04:09] i have the script, and it obviously works, i just want to make sure it outputs correctly [04:09] Diamondcite:thanx m downloading [04:09] MTec007: dont know but OMG! Ubuntu! says that it's pretty smooth! [04:09] nvm yea benchmark/82557/8/9/0/1 ethernet pro 100 (rev10) [04:09] r00t4rd3d: they didnt notify me.. it just showed up [04:09] didn't know how else to write it. in case you couldn't tell, i'm a n00b [04:09] amit: You MIGHT have to setup the VM disk again, But the vmdk files are compatible. [04:10] MTec007, how long ago did you sign up ? [04:10] at least to linux and adb [04:10] icoblue636: I assume you run windows on your desktop machine? [04:10] i must say benchmark is a very usefull tool [04:10] I did like 2 weeks ago [04:10] 7 [04:10] r00t4rd3d: dec 7th [04:10] wtf [04:10] Diamonndcite: shoould i download VirtualBox 3.2.12 for Linux hosts from virtualbox.org [04:10] always wanted to start linux, but cant find the time to learn enough to make it worthwhile [04:10] I hope i get one [04:11] if you had a unix then the best advice would be to compose (and test) your scripts in the linux/other nix environment and then move it to your phone [04:11] icoblue636: ubuntu ships with gedit. If you want a cli editor, there's nano (easy), and vim (my favorite, powerful, but takes time to learn) [04:11] Joeoshawa: have you tried setting a static ip instead of using dhcp? [04:11] amit: yes, please be sure to pick the right one for your Linux.. either 32 or 64bit.. [04:11] ok [04:11] i can swap my 2wire dsl modem/router from one to the other and it works [04:11] icoblue636: this is a pretty compelling reason. [04:11] it is set as static [04:11] shit am I supposed to use g++ to compile cpp files? not gcc? [04:11] chd: language [04:11] databits: no. i just now selected individual files in the same archive and they were all extracted to the same folder, which i selected [04:11] set to 192.168.0.1 [04:12] geirha,industry: how can i reach you guys again. i want to start unix and bash, but i'm going to have questions [04:12] chd: it shouldn't matter which one, gcc is a frontent [04:12] icoblue636: Extracting all files to their own folders is supposed to be a feature since this way, extracted files do not overlap accidentally. [04:12] frontend* [04:12] And its still giving you the state change error? === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [04:12] yeah [04:12] r00t4rd3d: im not ready to wipe chromeos off yet, but its so limiting.. i need more system access.. and to be able to install programs [04:12] Diamondcite:should i download Ubuntu 10.10 ("Maverick Meerkat") i386 | AMD64 [04:12] hey, anyone know how tochange the lock screen on maverick? [04:12] maybe i missed a setting and its set to two addresses?? [04:12] databits: are you using archive manager which came by default in ubuntu? [04:12] Diamondcite: plz check [04:13] amit: that sounds about right, I DO NOT KNOW which linux you are using! [04:13] You've tried it on a different Ubuntu machine and it works? [04:13] Ok well basicly I'm running a window's xp virtual machine on top of ubuntu 10.10. I have a image file that is zip up of a program on my usb drive, that I want to be able to access from the virtual machine. How would I go about accessing the usb drive in the virtual machine ? I'm using virtualbox for my virtual machine. [04:13] Diamondcite: ubuntu 10.10 [04:13] amit: Not enough details, i don't know if you are 64bit or 32bit. [04:13] no i have two cards in the same computer [04:13] 32bit [04:13] amit; In that case get 10.10 i386 [04:13] Why two? [04:14] geirha/industry: how can i get ahold of you guys again? [04:14] i am trying to thin client an dell t500 [04:14] icoblue636: Well, bash has its own channel, and so does probably whatever unix or unix-like os you want to try. [04:14] yes it is an old tank [04:14] well, also an IRC n00b. took me over 10 mins to figure out how to get in here [04:14] i'm a point-and-click guy [04:14] Diamondcite: so i have to dowanload i386 |AMD64 [04:14] or #linux, or whichever distribution's your using all have channels with useful people [04:14] what can be used with linux mac windows like webex group sharing with vpip and free? [04:15] MTec007, does it come with any kinda restore disk or anything ? System recovery ? [04:15] amit: One of those.. (i386) not AMD64 [04:15] btw if anyone gets the chance to get a dell t500 get it you can set it on fire and it still works [04:15] plus you've got forums/google. [04:15] OK [04:15] joeoshawa: lol [04:15] how would one get into this IRC server without coming here from androidforums? [04:15] H/o. Let me look into thin clients for a second [04:15] icoblue636, xchat [04:15] r00t4rd3d: no cds.. no recovery that i can find.. there isnt even a file manager on this thing either [04:15] what are the current opensource vpn solutions? [04:16] i am serious i stuck it next to the electric heat there is a large burn mark in the case and the panel is warped and the computer still works [04:16] Diamondcite: how should i use it in full screen [04:16] i had it running sadwiched there behind the couch for three months [04:16] running ubuntu 9.1 [04:17] joeoshawa: I'm sure you just got lucky... one time incident doesn't mean it'll be true for all cases [04:17] r00t4rd3d: it does have a switch for developer mode, but im afriad if i flip it i wont get back to normal mode easily [04:17] amit: Please look around the menus. There should be an option to full screen in one of those AFTER VM is started.

[04:17] it has only one case fan and no cpu fan [04:17] Diamondcite: thanx [04:18] Diamondcite: m downloading from virtualbox.org [04:18] Hello [04:18] joeoshawa: Industrial systems tend to be more durable than consumer units.. since businesses never care for their systems =P [04:18] Joeoshawa: why are you using two cards in one machine? [04:18] Can I add peers in transmission? [04:19] lolcat: no [04:19] so i can run the thin client through the pci card and the internet through on board [04:19] yep [04:19] * chaospsychex in awestruck at the program dubbed "Virtual Box" [04:19] of course it was massive expensive when it was new [04:20] *is awestruck [04:20] Ok, I'm not familiar enough with thin clients to help with that. Sorry [04:21] joeoshawa: what thin client are you planning on using? and why would you ever need two network interfaces? you won't be pushing 100mbit through either interface... [04:21] i am running a dual core 2.7 running ubuntu 10.10 64 bit that i want to ltsp server for the t500 [04:21] geirha, if i'm piecing this bash together properly, [04:21] for f in ./*.bak; do mv "$f" "$f.apk"; done [04:21] i thought it would be easier when both are online [04:21] should take my now correctly named *.bak files and rename them to *.apk, right? [04:22] icoblue636: That would rename *.bak to *.bak.apk [04:22] wouldn't it bottleneck [04:22] icoblue636: you have to strip the .bak off first [04:22] joeoshawa: I think you're pretty much on your own for ltsp... as for binding it to a particular IP interface, I'm sure it could be done... [04:22] Hi :) I installed the sun-java-jdk package, although I had previously installed the openjdk package, How do I "choose" which jdk to use? [04:22] so use ${f%*.bak}.apk [04:22] icoblue636: See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/030 [04:22] MTec007, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UimfEI85WZo [04:22] eh, I hope [04:22] ubuntu on cr-48 :D [04:22] for f in ./*.bak; do mv "$f" "${f%*.bak}.apk"; done [04:22] i have all that worked out i just need the network card to stop giving me the error [04:23] what does the error mean [04:23] %*XXX removes XXX ? [04:23] why would one get that error [04:23] MTec007, http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/cr-48-chrome-notebook-developer-information/how-to-boot-ubuntu-on-a-cr-48 [04:24] industry__: without the * [04:24] Is be willing to bet the two cards are conflicting [04:24] Hello! [04:24] geirha: f is filename, correct? [04:24] people, i am new to evolution mail client, how do i sync it with my sent items and calendar in gmail ? [04:24] *id [04:24] it means "remove the shortest string matching this delimiter". and yes, drop the * between the {} [04:24] joeoshawa: what error? [04:24] i am using 10 version of ubuntu [04:24] i am on the machine now [04:24] icoblue636: f is the variable that gets set to a filename each iteration of the loop [04:24] well that wasn't right, "remove the shortest string from the end of this string matching this delimiter" [04:24] ok [04:25] the delimiter being the % [04:25] ? [04:25] to remove it from the front you would use # [04:25] no, the delimiter being after the % [04:25] (eth1): device state change: 7 -> 9 (reason 5) [04:25] that error [04:25] * chaospsychex asks, Who needs an Enema?..........A HOLY ENEMA?! [04:26] holy enema??? is that using holy water? [04:26] %.bak removes string "bak" %.elf removes string "elf" [04:26] * chaospsychex sees dozens of hands raise into the air!!

[04:28] it disables it after the error [04:29] it will activate if i network restart [04:29] icoblue636: %.bak removes the string ".bak" from the end... [04:29] ok [04:29] How do I apply the following instruction? "Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with your own text editor: [04:29] blacklist nouveau" [04:29] and everything is good till i dhcp3-server restart [04:30] hello [04:30] then dhcp3 goes bleah and bye bye eth1 [04:30] so this should give me what i'm looking for: [04:30] for f in ./*.bak; do mv "$f" "${f%.bak}.apk"; done [04:31] then dhcp defaults to eth0 which is where my internet is [04:31] what a mess [04:31] Hello everyone! Anyone have a second to help me, I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 desktop [04:31] people, i am new to evolution mail client, how do i sync it with my sent items and calendar in gmail ? i am using ubuntu 10.10 [04:32] anybody here use evolution at all ? [04:32] wow ravie you can do that??? [04:32] all use thunderbird is it ? [04:32] joeoshawa: are you using dhcp to set your IP addresses on a server? [04:32] what is the task manager app-like program? [04:32] joeoshawa, lol you kidding me right ? [04:32] joeoshawa: why aren't you setting static IPs? [04:32] dhcp to give the thin client a ip [04:32] Hi :) I installed the sun-java-jdk package, although I had previously installed the openjdk package, How do I "choose" which jdk to use? [04:33] thin client has no hdd [04:33] no os [04:33] that is why it is a thin client [04:33] icoblue636: yep [04:33] joeoshawa: okay, that makes sense... but when your restart dhcpd, you lose your IP on eth1 on your server? [04:33] fabulous. i'm impressed i actually pulled that out. lol [04:33] i lose my eth1 [04:33] thanks again, geirha [04:33] it kills the card [04:34] joeoshawa: so eth1 on your server is a static IP, right? [04:34] yeah [04:34] !mint CensoredBiscuit [04:34] 192.168.0.1 [04:34] joeoshawa: and what's the IP on eth0? [04:34] 192.168.0.5 [04:34] Need help installing ubuntu 10.10, I am trying to install from a usb drive and I am getting error code +0x73/0x78. any ideas? === s is now known as Guest45823 === Guest45823 is now known as karancho [04:35] the computer sees it as dhcp for eth0 but it is actually a static given by the router [04:36] joeoshawa: sure, dhcp reserved address or its remembering a mac to ip address assignment... [04:36] guys [04:36] joeoshawa: I'd look for any particular issues with your NIC as a possible problem [04:37] mac to ip i shut dhcp off on the router [04:37] people, i am new to evolution mail client, how do i sync it with my sent items and calendar in gmail ? i am using ubuntu 10.10 [04:37] kyle do you have a ati radeon x1300 pci 256mb ? [04:37] In applications menu, after every shortcut there is a space, right? How can I make it shorter? === Prodego is now known as administrivia [04:37] omg somebody help me with this man ^ [04:37] can i check for hardware conflicts [04:37] or atleast tell me whether its feasible or not [04:38] r00t4rd3d, i believe i do have an ati radeon card card i believe, dont know if its that specific one but pretty sure thats what kind i have [04:40] Hi Guys. I've setup my /etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.post, but for some reason the calls to it are EXTREMELY delayed. Is there some sort of polling configuration that I need to adjust to make it happen more quickly? [04:40] cool.. anyone there? [04:41] yeah it appears to be an address conflict [04:41] How can I change Ubuntu menu width? [04:42] I want to make the space after shortcuts smaller [04:43] how can i turn ipv6 off for eth1 [04:43] geirha/industry: again, lifesavers. The phone is now booted back with all the missing programs installed. [04:43] i think that is where the problem is [04:44] joeoshawa: do you use ipv6? [04:44] Hi all. Trying to move a partition that is on a large drive onto a small drive. If i do sudo dd if=/dev/bighd of=/dev/smallhd will that work? I assume not, but thought I'd ask. Any other ideas on how I can do this? [04:44] not personally no [04:44] if lsof and fuser return nothing on a filesystem - what could still be locking the filesystem (its a lvm mount) [04:44] i giveee uppp ive reinstalled ubuntu numerous times everytime its finally installed and im on the desktop it locks up! [04:44] I'm also pretty sure I'm in runlevel 3 [04:44] joeoshawa: why dont you just disable ipv6? [04:45] it assigns an ipv6 address to each card but i think it is assigning the same one for both [04:45] gringochapin: are you using lvm? [04:45] It's ext3 if that matters, so it can be resized. [04:45] joeoshawa: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html [04:45] whyyyy does it always freeze?? [04:45] joeoshawa: sudo nano /etc/default/grub | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash" | sudo update-grub [04:45] joeoshawa: you can always check in /etc/network/interfaces [04:46] TrentonAdams: This is the part where I show my ignorance and say, I'm not sure, but I don't believe so. [04:46] gringochapin: okay, probably not. [04:46] Anyhow, what's the size of the small drive? [04:46] gringochapin: ^^ [04:46] joeoshawa: check shingen link ;) [04:47] I'm using grep '[A-Я]', but lowercase letters matched too, how come? [04:47] i checked the logs it is disabling the card [04:47] and checking the link now [04:47] 5GB... the "large" drive is 15GB. There's less than 1 GB on the 15GB drive. [04:48] less than 1 GB of data, that is. [04:48] does anyone know why ubuntu would lock up all the time? [04:48] lo-ki, memory leaks? [04:48] gringochapin: okay. Well, to play it safe, go e2fsck -f /dev/yourdrive [04:48] gringochapin: unmount of course [04:49] memory leaks? [04:49] gringochapin: then go resize2fs -M -p /dev/yourdrive [04:49] lo-ki: how much RAM you have? [04:49] lo-ki: overheating, bad memory, insufficient memory, you name it... have you checked /var/syslog to see what errors you're getting before it freezes completely? [04:49] lo-ki, what are the coditions when locking up and your chipe speed and ram amount [04:49] gringochapin: Then you can dd the first 1.5G say, just to be safe, over to the new drive. [04:49] *chip [04:50] what's the default snapshot shortcut of ubuntu? [04:50] anyone give me some help with GPSD and Kismet? [04:50] hujula: try your printscreen key [04:50] gringochapin: Then go "resize2fs -p /dev/yournewdrive" to get it to resize to the max size of that drive [04:50] uhm no i have not i have 4gb but if that was the case wouldnt my windows 7 lock up too ?? im dual bootin [04:51] lo-ki: so it could be driver related issues, might want to search for your hardware and your particular version of ubuntu to see if there are any known compatibility issues [04:51] Frustrated: I'm unable to change permissions on any files or folders. This is on NTFS volumes...? [04:51] and condition if you mean whats currently happening then nothing ill be waiting for updates to install or open the web browser and bam froze cant do nothing [04:51] Hi, by the way :) [04:51] TrentonAdams: Oh, cool. I didn't realize you could dd only some of the data. Makes sense of course. Just didn't think of that. Thanks! Time to go read the man page to get the syntax. [04:52] TrentonAdams: Thank you very much! === Branden is now known as Shy [04:52] alright question though sometimes i get to use ubuntu for about 15min and then it freezes then i restart it constantly freezes upon boot lol how would i even install a driver [04:53] hrrmm [04:53] found it [04:53] joeoshawa: ???

I'd do that first.... [04:55] joeoshawa: hmmm, i've run multihomed boxes w/o a problem...

If not make one and run your system on it to see if it locks up or not... [04:57] jbsoum: system preferences screensaver [04:57] AbhiJit: that was it. [04:57] choose the theme [04:57] hmm [04:57] yes i have a livecd and it did lock up as well [04:57] i hit try ubuntu or w.e [04:57] share: yeah i can turn it off, but i want the blackness to go away but keep the lock screen [04:58] and my gf went to use the browser and it locked-up trying to open it [04:58] jbsoum: i dunno if that's possible [04:58] what is the pastebin again?

I think you can get the starting/finishing block size. Also, you're going to need to resize the partition table probably. [05:01] greezmunkey, :) [05:01] share that is the file you asked me to check [05:01] hehe [05:02] greezmunkey: Oh, sorry [05:02] Alex__3423424: burn ubuntu to a cd at low speed [05:02] The other guy is gone [05:02] alright uhm problem i have windows 7 and by the time its installed its already installed all my drivers lol so how am i supposed to gather a list [05:02] TrentonAdams: np [05:02] joeoshawa: where is the rest of that /etc/network/interfaces? you have no ips set or use dhcp set [05:02] greezmunkey: auto complete, lol [05:02] how do i get rid of windows xp?

If lo-ki knew where to find it, he may be able to deduce what drivers his system is using... [05:03] amit, top [05:03] Alex__3423424, you have to reformat the xp partition to remove it if you want it completely gone [05:03] greezmunkey, dunno [05:04] how do i go about doing that? [05:04] Alex__3423424, do you have a ubuntu cd? [05:04] Loshki: yeah, google is pretty "fu" proof nowadays... [05:04] anyone here that knows why acpi events are fired over to my shell file so slowly?

I messed something up and now when I try to open my Home Folder or my Documents Folder (or nearly any folder) from my menubar, VLC opens [05:08] lo-ki: just stare at it, it'll make sense. [05:08] im in windows 7 right now i need to reboot into ubuntu [05:08] lol alright [05:09] Alex__3423424, what kind of a computer is it? i mean ram, processor? [05:09] Hey all [05:09] How do I stop VLC from opening when I try to open my Home Folder from the menubar? [05:09] well this thing i am doing now is so i can help my daughter with her schoolwork [05:10] I am attempting to setup a shared folder in ubuntu so my windows instance can see it over the network... cannot see the folder for the life of me [05:10] rs0832: its a lenovo t43. pentium processor with 1gig or ram [05:10] it says its shared and even have all the checkboxes under share settings checked [05:10] Hi. I messed something up and now when I try to open my Home Folder or my Documents Folder (or nearly any folder) from my menubar, VLC opens. How do I stop VLC from opening (and trying to "play") my Home Folder from the menubar? [05:10] sprung: right clic> properties> open with> nautilus [05:10] (note... I am using VBox with Win7 as Host and Ubuntu as Guest) [05:10] no help for my question?! :( [05:10] alex not a bad machine [05:11] xangua, i can't right click on it it is in the menubar [05:11] great server [05:11] sdwrage, are you using bridged network adapter? [05:11] sprung: just run nautilus then [05:12] so did anyone check my pastebin [05:12] xangua, that's not fixing the problem, i'll ask some more [05:12] (23:11:46) xangua: sprung: just run nautilus then > and then do what i said earlier.............. [05:12] ................. [05:12] xangua, that's a workaround, not solving the problem [05:12] hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 64bit desktop on an sata 6g drive. the livecd installer shows the ubuntu logo and then takes me to the initramfs shell and says that no drive is detected with the livecd data on it. [05:13] Lint01, yep [05:13] xangua, i am fully aware i can open nautilus to get to my home folder. That's not solving the problem. I don't wish to debate with you the merits of not fixing the problem [05:13] Lint01, I can ping it via windows [05:13] why would vlc open when opening your home folder [05:13] but cannot see it in network center [05:13] joeoshawa, from the Menubar under Place [05:13] joeoshawa, from the Menubar under Places [05:13] 05:02:39 < Alex__3423424> how do i get rid of windows xp? [05:13] cooper|laptop, does the gparted tool show the drive? [05:13] just install Ubuntu over it [05:14] it only happens in the menubar it's extremely aggravating [05:14] sprung: do nothing then.... [05:14] xangua, will you please stop "helping" me [05:15] Lint01, I can ping the ip address 192.168.1.118 which is my VirtualBox's IP... yet I cannot map a drive to it [05:15] alpha255: how can i check ? [05:15] Hi. I messed something up and now when I try to open my Home Folder or my Documents Folder (or nearly any folder) from my menubar, VLC opens. How do I stop VLC from opening (and trying to "play") my Home Folder from the menubar? [05:15] sprung, lets keep it civil [05:15] sprung when i open my home folder from places it opens nautilus [05:15] run the tool [05:15] sdwrage, why? [05:15] Lint01, that is why I need help here :P I am not sure why [05:15] bazhang, I desire greatly to keep it civil. I have asked xangua to stop presenting repeatedly that i workaround it by opening nautilus. That is not a solution. [05:15] i did however have my top menu bar refuse to appear for a while [05:15] do you have ports opened? [05:16] omg was that anoying [05:16] alpha255: yes, but how? [05:16] Lint01, for what? [05:16] im back [05:16] for samba traffic, cannot remember precise numbers [05:16] Lint01, I can access the web server from my host machine just fine [05:16] oh... hrm [05:16] so i got in browsed to the folder and there was like 7 files and i could only open 1 lol [05:16] joeoshawa, yes, I realize that is how it is supposed to work. Rather than opening Nautilus, it opens VLC instead and tries to "play" my home folder. This of course is not what I want. [05:17] Lint01, what IP would I have to forward those to? [05:17] hrmm [05:17] sprung: apparantly this (bug) has been around for a while. Consider this from a post concerning an 8.04 install: This is a known bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/260492) and is not a VLC problem.On my system it opened Rhythmbox. [05:17] ok i'll have a look [05:17] strange [05:17] oh wow [05:17] sprung: here's the source for that: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-950520.html [05:17] sdwrage, you don't need tio forward them, just keep them open [05:17] how to use remote desktop? [05:17] Lint01, would I be forwarding to Host (Windows 7) or Guest (Ubuntu) ? [05:17] try gparted in a terminal windows [05:17] ah [05:17] window [05:18] cooper|laptop, in terminal window type gparted [05:18] btw which exact error do you get mapping drive from windows? [05:18] is there a certain way to open log files? [05:18] sprung: here is a potential fix: See bug report or from a terminal,start nautilus. Navigate Up one level so you see your Home Folder.Right click on the folder and go to properties.Select "open with" tag and either add "File browser" or select "Open Folder " instead of VLC. [05:18] alpha255: how..? there is nothing installed :p [05:19] cooper|laptop, your in the gui dektop on the live cd right? [05:19] greezmunkey, ok thank you [05:20] alpha255: no, as i said, it just takes me to the initramfs shell and says that no drive is detected with the livecd data on it. [05:20] what version of the live cd? [05:20] and im thinking possibly it has compatibilty issues with the wifi..cuz soon as i tried to connect to wireless internet it locked-up [05:20] and are you sure the cpu is 64bit?

[05:22] Lint01, I assume you were stating to open port in firewall? [05:23] I turned it off completely just to test it [05:23] D3luSi0n4L, please just ask the question [05:23] cooper|laptop, what type of hardware ? [05:23] I formatted my ubuntu & swap partition and moved them to my primary windows 7, now when i turn on my computer I get a dos screen that says grub error: [05:23] lo-ki: just install gnome-utils from the software center (in case it's not installed). then you can use it to view log files [05:23] lo-ki: browse around /var/log - all very good stuff. Use this command in a terminal: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages, and then re-enable wireless - you may get a hit on the failure. [05:23] and it'll me write commands but i cant boot into windows or anything i dont know any commands [05:23] do i need the internet for that to work? [05:23] sdwrage, ...

[05:34] Some_Person: it tells your network card to capture all packets, not just those destined for your computer [05:34] hi amit [05:34] barcastar, uBOTtu is a bot.

[05:35] in ubuntu 10.10 and trying to mount a windows 7 share anyone else get a error with the password [05:35] lo-ki: ok, if you want to see if the wifi is the source of the problem, boot into ubuntu, and disable wireless. Then just run it for a while to see if it's stable. After a while enable the wifi, and see if it locks up. Before you enable the wifi though, take a look at /var/log/messages to see if you can find anything that indicates a problem.

[05:41] sprung, but i can only boot the external hdd from the computer that i installed it from [05:41] barcastar: why? [05:41] era878, as a sysadmin i would use that to access a hard drive that i do not wish to boot from that is being used as the system drive back in my pc tech days [05:42] xangua, any reason why unetbootin would fail? i restart and my computer says "not a bootable disk" [05:42] i dont now why, i simply enter md5sum + filename, it is said that file not found [05:42] but that's just a techie using a tool to fix a problem, i wouldn't recommend you run an os off of USB due to majorly degraded preformance [05:42] Lint01, i put the in my /home/alpha255 directory right? [05:42] sprung, why is that? [05:42] era878, as I have said twice now, it's slooooow [05:43] barcastar: did u do cd Downloads? [05:43] /home/alpha255/.smb === bombshell is now known as bombshell[a] [05:43] dnivra: maybe because you are using alpha software [05:43] yes, i downloaded a cd image, not burnt yet [05:43] era878, USB has a slow bus rate. so slow you're going to be like "wtf i thought linux was supposed to be fast and cool this sucks" === bencahill__ is now known as bencahill [05:43] Lint01, k [05:44] okay, but i really just wanted to know why ubuntu only boots from the computer that I installed it from. Is it a motherboard incompatibility as you have pointed out? [05:44] era878, i've run a version of windows on a USB boot and it was far slower lol [05:44] barcastar: try md5sum ~/Downloads/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [05:44] barcastar: "cd ~/Downloads ; md5sum ubuntu" [05:44] era878, some motherboards will let you boot from USB, some will not. [05:44] will inkscape ever get fixed ? [05:44] omg this is insanely compicated [05:45] ok [05:45] era878: another point is that if you want a "portable" system to be used on a variety of computers you will run into all kinds of issues with hardware and the like. You may as well just use a live cd if that's what you want to do. [05:45] deco, screw inkscape, sk1 is the future [05:45] Lint01: sk1 ? never heard of it hmmm [05:45] looking at the site now [05:46] era878, i cannot magically say that your motherboard does or does not support that because i do not know what your motherboard is, and this is becoming a non-linux question that i would refer to ##hardware [05:46] so basically i need a network within a network for ltsp to work [05:46] this is the result: md5sum: /home/don/downloads/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso: 没有那个文件或目录 [05:46] Lint01: oh wow looks awesome [05:46] era878, you'd be better off with a livecd or how about just installing linux for real [05:47] you could also use a virtual machine using the free Oracle Virtualbox on top of windows if you want to play with it [05:47] it will be slower but not as slow as booting from USB [05:47] hey dudes [05:47] need help [05:47] ipv6 not pingable [05:47] or if you want to use ubuntu 'inside' of windows you could check out the wubi project [05:47] which i don't recommend [05:48] barcastar: what character set is that? [05:48] sprung, so my laptop can boot from usb but when i plug in the external hdd it says operating system not detected. why? [05:48] i recommend you use oracle virtualbox on top of windows, running a livecd or how about just installing linux on your hard drive :) [05:48] your hdd has to have a bootable partition [05:48] yes [05:49] chinese [05:49] I used wubi for awhile, worked fine for me. [05:49] i try to start a private conversation [05:49] But having Ubuntu as my main OS is better... :) [05:49] a7i3n, yes, but you probably have a bit more linux/ pc troubleshooting experience in general [05:49] Anyone know how I can run a .jar with the OpenJRE via terminal? [05:49] msgs roll up too fast.. [05:49] heidi: Try ping6 instead [05:49] also check i think there is a problem booting ntfs through usb [05:50] you are right sprung. [05:50] Is it possible to get gnome to display a menu like this? http://i.imgur.com/PyD7o.png [05:50] My first Linux was on a power pc [05:50] bonjoyee, ok, here's my progress :) ... [05:50] of course i would rather eat dirt and worms then use windows so i may be wrong [05:50] prior to that it was minix [05:51] first os was msdos [05:51] omg dos was awsome [05:51] bonjoyee, I'm using grub on the hdd to load plop (which has usb drivers), which will load grub on the usb stick, loading ubuntu on the usb [05:51] so was mine... on a IBM pc... [05:51] then windows happened and it all went to hell [05:51] I feel old... [05:51] bonjoyee, I just need to get grub on the usb stick, can I do that from inside the hdd ubuntu install? [05:51] and I thought that abacus was cool... [05:52] Lint01, i'm going to unistall windows live assistant and try to connect again [05:52] Windows was a disaster... I was really good at atch files... [05:52] you feel old you remember the at pc or the xt pc [05:52] bonjoyee, ...and how would I configure it? [05:52] BodhiBuilding [05:52] batch that is...

[05:54] That screen shot above I showed is of PCManFM [05:55] jef91: guessing [05:55] deco, qt apps look ugly everywhere [05:55] Lint01: yeah :/ , meh i'll stick to inkscape i don't like qt apps :( [05:55] too bad they haven't fixed inkscape [05:55] freebsd already fixed theirs [05:55] couple of weeks ago [05:56] so could someone give me a quick lesson on how to give a network card a new subnet [05:56] Lint01 deco just install qt4-qtconfig and set on it to use the gtk theme [05:56] joeoshawa, one nic can only have one ip, what are you trying to do? [05:56] system>preferences>qt4-config or something like that once installed [05:57] xangua: oh thanks [05:57] xangua: and they look pretty good after that ? [05:57] yikes sprung... I hate cash registers.... [05:57] they look lithe the gtk theme you are using deco [05:57] xangua: awesome thanks! [05:57] i am trying to run ltsp over a network cable to my machine which will be the server so i can run both with both online [05:58] i have ltsp and dhcp set up but it is complaining that eth0 and eth1 have the same subnet [05:59] a7i3n, don't eat at kentucky fried chicken. ever. i've seen about 40 of their kitchens. and thats all the non-linux chat i will say about that [05:59] joeoshawa, are you just wanting both computers to be online, or do you want a thin client? [05:59] heh thanks for the warning sprung [05:59] so i am assuming i need a new subnet for eth1 however if there is an easier way [05:59] both [05:59] hello [05:59] thin client and the server usable and online [05:59] has anyone tried installing ubuntu by booting iso via grub? [06:00] i'm on ubuntu 10.10 [06:00] Lint01: is it really better than inkscape ? [06:00] on sony vaio and i have problem with ethernet [06:00] joeoshawa, the server has two nics, right? [06:00] yeah [06:01] deco, 'better' is subjective thing [06:01] i am a heavy traffic user i bog my connection as it is [06:01] Lint01: yes but i'm asking because you said it was the future [06:02] implying it was better [06:02] so do tell why it's better than inkscape [06:02] joeoshawa, you need a dhcp-server, and then just configure it to run on ethx, where that is the nic going to the thinclient [06:02] and my computer for that matter but oh well === KindOne is now known as MeanOne [06:02] i have that set up [06:02] deco, in my opinion it's more convnient [06:02] the problem is i am getting this error [06:02] joeoshawa, server has static ip, and gives thinclient dynamic, this is called dhcp [06:03] joeoshawa, oh, what error? [06:03] anapiros00: What's wrong? [06:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/546492/ [06:04] believe me i know i have been at it all day [06:04] gotta go all... (tips hat to sprung) [06:04] has anyone tried installing ubuntu by booting the iso via grub2? [06:04] joeoshawa, can you post the output of ifconfig? [06:05] yep [06:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/546493/ [06:06] dnivra, what are you trying to do and why [06:07] nit-wit, well i can boot natty alpha's iso via grub-can't create a bootable disk. just can't install because it tries to unmount all partitions but the iso itself is on one partition. [06:07] morning guys and gals [06:07] joeoshawa, well, as the error said, they have the same subnet! (192.168.0.x) [06:08] Anyone know which of these video drivers I'm unlikely to encounter on consumer hardware: http://pastebin.com/YDxN60KM I'm on a USB stick and I'd like to remove the unnecessary ones. [06:08] dnivra, can you boot a thumb and do you have one [06:08] so all i have to do is change the address my router is giving out and bingo? [06:08] joeoshawa, either your isp is not giving you a public ip, or your "server" is plugged into another dhcp device [06:08] does anyone know how to setup a ftp server using ubuntu? [06:09] dnivra you cannot repartition a drive your using [06:09] nit-wit, i have my iPod and i've been trying to create a startup disk using the regular startup disk creator and unetbootin. regular fails to install the bootloader and unetbootin succeeds but the computer says the disk isn't bootable. [06:09] johnathan: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [06:09] Also is there a tool to modify the timing on notification displays? Whenever I have a bunch of notifications sent in a row, it ends up taking 2-3 minutes to display notifications I'm already aware of. [06:09] joeoshawa, either change the subnet of the router, or the server, your pick, whichever is easiest :) I would change the server to 10.something [06:09] thx and l take it they also tell what software to use? [06:10] joeoshawa, well i am not partitioning at all. i have a partition-format and use it that's all. [06:10] !who | johnathan [06:10] johnathan: 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 :) [06:10] johnathan, you can use pure ftpd [06:10] johnathan: yup [06:10] dnivra, are we sure this s a bootable ISO , have t you tred running it in a virtual [06:10] *tried [06:10] hey rs0832, where did bonjoyee go? he just pinged out! [06:11] bencahill: i am using a bell 2wire router dsl modem combo and when ubuntu asks for an address i have it set to give the same address every time [06:11] nit-wit, well i was able to boot the iso via grub. i'll check it out in virtualbox. [06:11] so i can change the address format easily through my browser [06:11] cool thx guys [06:11] joeoshawa, no, you need it to be on a different subnet [06:12] bencahill, i have no idea.. he seems to have been inactive for sometime though [06:12] joeoshawa, read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork [06:12] joeoshawa, :) [06:12] bencahill, i referenced the same earlier [06:12] i did read it but i am not sure i fully understand [06:13] rs0832, sprung, ah :) [06:13] i am thinking subnet is the first part of the ip [06:13] the 192.168 etc [06:13] joeoshawa, of course you don't understand, subnetting is something i quizzed people on in interviews to be entry level systems admins [06:13] joeoshawa, look at your subnet mask, that defines the subnet [06:13] that cannot change from one computer to the other [06:13] nit-wit, why does it say "Detected i686 CPU". I have an x86_64 cpu! i am running 10.10 64bit now. [06:13] joeoshawa: that depends on the mask... [06:13] joeoshawa, this is not an easy concept but comparative to everything else it's not hard [06:14] joeoshawa, it is however unrealistic to think you can understand subnetting in a few minutes from reading a wiki page [06:14] joeoshawa, or the mask tells what part of the ip address can change, so to speak...do you understand public and private ips? [06:14] sprung, dangit, it's hard to explain! [06:14] bencahill, it's impossible to explain on irc [06:14] well i believe my router has some presets and right now its custom so let me see what i can do [06:15] bencahill, it is unrealistic to attempt [06:15] sprung, yes, true :) [06:15] joeoshawa: tcpip has been around since about 1975 [06:15] bencahill, particularly in such an active channel [06:15] joeoshawa, I wouldn't mess with the router, as if you mess it up, there's not much you can do :-/ [06:15] dnivra, where [06:15] nit-wit, oh! when i ran it in virtual box. [06:16] nit-wit, sorry i didn't say virtual box :) [06:16] dnivra, not sure really [06:17] 10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 would this do [06:17] nit-wit, it's fine. i'll try something even more weird as experiment. [06:17] joeoshawa, unfortunately you're not going to be able to understand this in a few minutes or a few hours. If you want to know about this, you should study TCP/IP. while it is certainly not something you can just learn in a few hours, it's a fundamental building block of being a sysadmin [06:17] joeoshawa, yes [06:17] i have already changed it before [06:17] is /dev/sdb1 equivalent to (hd1, 1) ? [06:17] nini [06:18] dnivra, I have natty on a SDHC class 10 min card and it is okay as of yesterdays updates, I loaded a thumb with one of the 2 you used about 5 days ago to install to the card [06:19] dnivra, if the MD%SUM is okay , did you download the latest unetbootin [06:19] nit-wit, i'm surprised and disappointed why i couldn't install it. i can boot the iso via grub successfully but can't install. and i can't install the boot loader into the USB for some reason. [06:19] so i just change it to that preset input the ip i want for my computer making sure to keep the 10.0.0 the same and change the last number and then do a network restart from the server yes? [06:20] nit-wit, i couldn't find the md5sum for natty. tried searching in google a lot. my computer's up with the latest updates i think. unetbootin 471-1ubuntu-1. [06:20] joeoshawa, I haven't configured a dhcp server in a while, just try it and see if it works [06:20] !info unetbootin [06:20] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional.

[06:22] nit-wit, do you know if /dev/sdb1 is same as (hd1, 1)? [06:23] dnivra, sounds right but don't quote me [06:23] nit-wit, alright; i'll wait and see if someone else knows. i've a very very weird and stupid idea. let's see if that'll work. [06:24] dnivra, is it todays daily 12-21 [06:24] dnivra, sda = hd0 and so on... [06:24] nit-wit, sorry? didn't get you. [06:24] rs0832, alright then. hope it works. [06:24] dnivra, :) [06:25] dnivra, the ISO todays daily cd 12-21-2010 [06:25] nit-wit, what did you mean by 'daily 12-21'? i donwloaded the alpha via torrent. i have no idea what i downloaded. [06:25] nit-wit, i just searched for natty alpha 1 in google, went to the cdimage site and downloaded the torrent. is there an alternative method? [06:26] nit-wit, i downloaded the iso from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/alpha-1/. [06:27] dnivra, nit-wit: Natty issues/support in #ubuntu+1, thanks. [06:27] Flannel, sure. [06:27] Flannel, no problem see you on that channel dnirva [06:29] back [06:30] that cured the subnet problem [06:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/546499/ [06:31] what i don't understand is that address cannot be in use because i changed the subnet so how can this still be a problem [06:31] dnivra, the first choice on that page is the MD5SUM's [06:31] My wireless connection strength keeps dropping to 0% and back to 100% every few seconds.

[07:58] hey #ubuntu, I'm trying to install 10.10 on my new toshiba laptop (not actually new, just new to me) and I have been getting this message for the last 30-40 minutes on the installer "Dec 2207:56:09 ubuntu kernel: 1367.749888] [drm:redeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* HDMI Type A-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID" [07:58] * shazbotmcnasty *takes a breath* [07:58] jbsoum, if you want to.. if you dont feel like it, ill understand it worked if you dont come back .. your choice :) [07:58] Test [07:58] Ok, new question: I'm having some problems with the volume controls in Ubuntu. They seem to be working in an inconsistent way and they don't give me the full range of my sound card's volume. [07:58] acer_: test worked :) [07:58] cool, ill be back either way, see ya on the flipside :P [07:59] jbsoum, see you , good luck :) [07:59] also that number in my previous comment "1367.749888" changes every few minutes [07:59] ok I got a question... does anybody know gtk+ 2.0? [08:00] stealthc: what about it [08:00] I usually have to resort to using `alsamixer` from the command line to get the volume to the appropriate level, However, that's awkward and it seems to conflict with the volume panel applet. [08:00] mmmm, you might actually know more than I do though [08:00] lol [08:00] TheMusicGuy: does the volume panel applet work? [08:00] I'm trying to make a horizontal slider in UI, using the hscale element [08:00] oh yeah, I don't know how to do that [08:01] shazbotmcnasty, sort of [08:01] #Ubuntu, I'm trying make server from Ubuntu Desktop, but not work, can you give me e-book to make server in Ubuntu desktop 10.10 [08:01] TheMusicGuy: please elaborate [08:01] I'm trying to figure out how to get it to do something on state change resulting in idle of xx time frame [08:01] it changes the volume sometimes, but not always. when it does, it doesn't change the volume very much, or it changes it WAY too much...its very inconsistent. [08:01] acer_, you want ubuntu server or will any server do? [08:01] lol [08:02] acer_: what kind of server? [08:02] rs0832, worked liek a charm! [08:03] ok rephrase question maybe get the right people to try an answer [08:03] jbsoum, great.. im glad :) [08:03] shazbotmcnasty, also, when I play with the volume using the applet and I look at the volume levels in alsamixer, I see a lot of inconsistency. If I alter the volume levels in alsamixer then change the volume again with the applet, the alsamixer levels all change drasticly. [08:03] thanks for ur help!! [08:03] looking for ppl that know GTK 2.0+ object model and means of programming hscale with event monitoring in C++ [08:03] jbsoum, sure thing ;) [08:03] who knows, maybe one day ill know enough to help ppl :P [08:04] there just doesn't seem to be any order to it. [08:04] jbsoum, :) yep [08:04] maybe you need to diable a device [08:04] jbsoum, you can always practice here on #ubuntu ;) [08:04] that is really weird, I've had no problems like that with alsa mixer.... [08:04] one problem though has been volume that is too weak [08:04] what chipset are you using? [08:05] Not entirely sure. Its a brand new mobo with onboard sound and I haven't come to fully understand it yet., [08:05] why the hell not? ill just make this one of my regular hang out channels [08:05] what's the model number of your mobo? [08:06] gimmie a make and model I can pull it up.... [08:06] probably intel [08:06] TheMusicGuy: lspci | grep -i audio [08:06] stealthc, Asus M4A88T-M [08:06] jbsoum, sure [08:06] stealthc, latest bios AFAIK [08:07] bonjoyee, 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [08:07] 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4200] [08:07] yup intel hda [08:08] I think it might be a similar problem to the old glitch that would make the computer start with weak sound [08:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [08:08] try that [08:09] TheMusicGuy: does it support flexible 5.1 audio? [08:09] bonjoyee, well, that's one of the available profiles from the applet. [08:10] TheMusicGuy: try adding to this file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [08:10] TheMusicGuy: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-intel (at the end of that file) [08:10] stealthc, about the gtk+ 2.0 programming thing, you can try the gtk+ irc channel (#gtk+) [08:11] TheMusicGuy: then reboot.. an check if its any better [08:11] oh that would be alright I didn't think to check I went looking for general programming chat and they were all dead :( [08:11] join #gtk+ [08:11] in firestarter under device option there are two option etho0 and vboxne.from where vboxne comes [08:11] ahh that works, thanks [08:11] amit: from virtualbox [08:11] stealthc, :) [08:12] bonjoyee:?

[08:17] bonjoyee: http://img638.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1az.png/ http://img143.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2gw.png/ [08:18] Not sure if that changed anything. However, I just realized that this issue doesn't seem to be affecting the frontal headphone port (which is connected via the HDA connetor on the mobo) [08:18] who can let me know a p2p like limewire or ares [08:18] hi when i type sudo ettercap-gtk it says this command is not found ?? [08:18] (ie. if I use the headphone port then the volume controls seem to act in a more rational way) [08:18] hey #ubuntu, I'm trying to install 10.10 on my new toshiba laptop (not actually new, just new to me) and I have been getting this message for the last 30-40 minutes on the installer "Dec 2207:56:09 ubuntu kernel: 1367.749888] [drm:redeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* HDMI Type A-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID" [08:18] :( [08:18] while i can use it from applications menu [08:18] desperate [08:18] it's a xmas present for my girlfriend [08:19] and I must get it feexed [08:19] where does sound in ubuntu 10.10 go . it is not going to /dev/dsp any more ??

[08:21] How to put tightvnc server on ubuntu linux 10.04 and will i be able to view from a windows pc?? [08:21] bonjoyee, I have another theory. Is it possible that the software actually *is* doing what it's supposed to do, and that my speakers just aren't connected the way the soundchip "expects" them to be? [08:21] hi rs8832 what is that error ? [08:22] is it just GTK error ? [08:22] can someone tell me how to change the grub boot order? I heard it was in /boot/grub/menu.lst but that file doesnt exist [08:22] bonjoyee, or is that irrelevant? [08:22] jr1: no more dsp in 10.10 cause they kicked oss support [08:22] but still not working like it should [08:22] shazbotmcnasty, seems like ubuntu has a problem with the monitor [08:22] Kingsy: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:22] TheMusicGuy: open alsamixer...and check whats under "channels"..that will decide how to connect the speakers [08:22] i just installed netbook remix to a friends netbook, but it seems that without constant user input it runs really slow, like almost frozen. this also happens on boot and will keep it from booting [08:23] rs0832: yeah [08:23] majdekalel_, seems to be [08:23] so what to do ? [08:23] How to put tightvnc server on ubuntu linux 10.04 and will i be able to view from a windows pc?? [08:23] majdekalel_, what ubuntu are you using? [08:23] bonjoyee, um...channels?

I already listed all available options. === axp2_ is now known as axp2 [08:28] TheMusicGuy: then u have to change /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [08:29] TheMusicGuy: and change "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-intel" to something else..or delete that line altogether.... [08:29] shazbotmcnasty, do you have another ubuntu disc? [08:30] TheMusicGuy: i got my sound right with "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch" in that file [08:30] i cant see gtk 2+ with packages !! [08:30] there is not such name !

[10:00] bonjoyee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_multiprocessing [10:00] Freebo: but trying newer Kernel is probably the easier way to go if you have some uncommon network card [10:00] bonjoyee, I'm using grub on the hdd to load plop (which has usb drivers), which will load grub on the usb stick, loading ubuntu on the usb [10:00] in this help_me: sudo mount -t proc /mnt/proc i get this error [10:00] ibm450, we can help you better if you tell us what kind of issues :) [10:01] Is there a way to remove software-center without removing ubuntu-desktop? :) [10:01] http://pastebin.com/g1qnRCMa [10:01] help_me: sudo chroot /mnt/ [10:01] bonjoyee, I just need to get grub on the usb stick, can I do that from inside the hdd ubuntu install? [10:01] User_Unfriendly: after i get the .iso downloaded, what is the dd command to make an image on the USB? [10:01] tonysan: the cpu's have nothing to do with the booting as long as the arch is correct like x86 or whatever... [10:01] FrozenKnight: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package(most of the time).... but i've never tried to remove software center [10:01] dc5ala: thanks I try the new kernel first and then I'll check for the interrupts [10:02] tonysan: its grub and your bios that has to support booting from your scsi device [10:02] bonjoyee: ok, that's x86 right. My server is down, grub error 17, So I need to take a bootable disk to rescue it [10:02] KM0201: so it might be OK to remove it and it won't remove gnome/other components? :) [10:02] so I'll have 2 grubs on 2 different disks [10:02] tonysan: did u try a livecd? [10:02] riothouse: i think it'd be easier from the live cd to: usb-creator-gtk [10:02] FrozenKnight: *might*... [10:03] Installation finished. No error reported. [10:03] what now ? [10:03] FrozenKnight: what all does it want to uninstall? [10:03] bonjoyee: the worst part of that machine is, its IDE channel seems very faulty [10:03] KM0201: thanks for the "highlight" :D [10:03] help_me: sudo update-grub [10:03] riothouse: i think it'd be easier from the live cd to: sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk [10:03] this computer doesnt have a cdrom, its a laptop mini, only usb access [10:03] sorry [10:03] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin-data_1%3a2.7.9~mtn20101220+6a25d063-1~frasten0_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/22/facebook.png', which is also in package pidgin-facebookchat 1.67.1-1 [10:03] I can't boot with desktop, server, even rescue remix disk [10:03] tonysan: does it support booting from usb? if yes try liveusb [10:03] finished ? [10:03] The only thing it can boot is 8MB minimal disk [10:03] now restart ? [10:04] KM0201: the software-center being removed wants to eliminate only ubuntu-desktop. [10:04] help_me: "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg" does it show windows? [10:04] KM0201: hang on... aptitude should tell me the size of the packages.. [10:04] help_me: and your installation too of course [10:04] bonjoyee: I am pretty desperate cause it is a 10-year-old machine [10:04] FrozenKnight: right...; believe it or not, a lot of packages remove "ubuntu-desktop"... it's usually just a meta package, and doesn't remove the entire desktop [10:04] windows show [10:04] bencahill: thats possible..u have to chroot into your usb install [10:04] Thanks KM0201 :) [10:04] http://pastebin.com/f0wp0peq [10:04] ack, i have not admin rights to download the usb creator -gtk [10:05] There is no USB boot in BIOS level [10:05] this thing sucks [10:05] FrozenKnight: i think i have a ubuntu 10.10 virtual install backed u0p somewhere, i'll try it...lol [10:05] help_me: why windows vista and 7? [10:05] help_me: so rebooting should be fine [10:05] vista is recovery disk [10:05] help_me: okay [10:05] ok thank you lets try restart [10:05] I have two different usb based EVDO modems plugged into my machine. I wanna find out where they are mapped into my /dev/... how can i do that? [10:05] bonjoyee, how would I configure it, just edit grub.cfg? [10:05] So I decided to just install a clean ubuntu on a SCSI disk, then use it as my rescue "media" [10:05] thank you very much [10:05] http://pastebin.com/e7nnh2rX [10:05] If that works... [10:05] tonysan: hmmm...then ur only luck is a disk with ubuntu pre installed on it ..i guess [10:06] FrozenKnight: you want me to try it first, to see what you screw up? [10:06] lol [10:06] http://pastebin.com/e7nnh2rX [10:06] bonjoyee: The data we're trying to rescue is a RAID 5 Volume [10:06] Heh KM0201 nah... :D it will probably do nothing anyway :) [10:06] Thanks however :) [10:06] FrozenKnight: probably not. [10:06] ok so if it cant download any apts and have no admin rights and cant boot into recovery this computer is screwed [10:07] no cdrom either [10:07] lol [10:07] tonysan: sorry then...can't help with that.. [10:07] bonjoyee: If thing gone worse, I might have to tear down the RAID volume, get another workstation to deal with [10:07] riothouse: sounds like a reinstall is in order [10:07] bonjoyee: Just hope it will boot :D [10:07] yeah, only thing is i need the drivers for this mini [10:07] brb [10:07] and no cdrom drive on it [10:07] and not boot disk [10:07] riothouse: what do you mean?\ [10:07] bencahill: do u want to install grub to the mbr of the usb? [10:07] bonjoyee: thanks! [10:07] hi [10:07] this is a laptop mini [10:07] it has no cdrom drive [10:08] only usb access [10:08] and i don [10:08] can anyone help me? [10:08] rs0832, sorry I was not here [10:08] riothouse: no, i mean what do you mean you need the drivers [10:08] sunit, no problem.. how's it going? [10:08] rs0832 [10:08] KM0201: you were right, 2MB of software removed [10:08] FrozenKnight: i thought so... but like i said *might*...lol [10:08] bonjoyee, yes, see this: http://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,560.0.html [10:08] it needs wifi access after I install an image [10:08] i dont have the factory cd [10:09] hi [10:09] can anyone help me? [10:09] Tjipto, try asking a question [10:09] Tjipto, hi.. if you have a problem, ask [10:09] i use ubuntu server 10.10 [10:09] FrozenKnight: software-center is just anotehr GUI front for apt-get... i'd imagine you can probably technically uninstall synaptic if you really want to.. and just use CLI to install stuff. [10:09] when I trued to install libsdc++6 , It's already there [10:09] anyone know the dd command to write a bootable image to a usb disk? [10:09] my vlan cannot communicate [10:09] bencahill: does your usb install have /boot/grub? [10:10] if I would like to automunt folder at startup in xubuntu, where do i put command sudo mount.... [10:10] but when i use ubuntu desktop, my vlan can communicate [10:10] riothouse: dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdX sdX is your usb-device, be carefull [10:10] bonjoyee, yeah, but it's just copied from the main install, along with everything else, not configured properly [10:10] whats the problem? i use the same command [10:10] thanks [10:10] sunit, o.o and you still get the same error? [10:10] KM0201: it's a little more too :/ [10:10] it shows other software that is not in the list shown in synaptic [10:11] hmm [10:11] that's about the only motive I wanted to uninstall it [10:11] yes, same error , rs0832 [10:11] riothouse: that iso has to be an hybrid-iso to make it booting from usb-devices [10:11] if I would like to automunt folder at startup in xubuntu, where do i put command sudo mount.... [10:11] KM0201: there are software from partners that you can buy. [10:11] llutz_, you don't need sdxy for that? [10:11] bencahill: boot into your hdd install... [10:11] sunit, what are you trying to install? [10:11] FrozenKnight: why would somene do that? [10:11] bonjoyee, 'k, doing... [10:11] tnm_, look at /etc/fstab [10:11] bencahill: you don't write it into a partition, you use the device [10:11] riothouse: you also could try downloading that usb-creator thingy, extract it and run from there instead installing [10:11] KM0201: enter the software center and try brukkon. [10:12] maria [10:12] Tjipto, I wouldn't really know, but it does sound like some driver fu [10:12] I don't say, it might be a nice game... but when I search for something I'd rather it didn't show up. [10:12] what driver? [10:12] llutz_, ok, just wondering :) [10:12] FrozenKnight: hmm never noticed that.. i bet there's an option to not show software you have to purrchase though [10:12] rs0832: I am trying to install J2EE sdk for linux in ubuntu 9.10 [10:12] For example aptitude and synaptic don't show it. [10:12] Tjipto, network of some kind is my guess [10:12] would it run without install? [10:13] bencahill: /dev/sdXY is partition Y on device X. but the iso has to be written into the raw device [10:13] :P [10:13] bonjoyee, ok, booted [10:13] like a windows .exe? [10:13] FrozenKnight: yeah [10:13] KM0201: from all the settings I've seen it might be... but it's still an addon. [10:13] yup. [10:13] X [10:13] llutz_, right, I didn't know iso had to be written to device [10:13] there is no error in the installation [10:14] all driver loaded [10:14] bencahill : then mount your usb like : sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt....change the name sdb1 accordingly [10:14] bencahill: a pc-bios wouldnt search for something bootable on a partition when using USB-boot [10:14] sunit, from where are you installing? or are you compiling? [10:14] i figured out why it didn't work [10:15] I am installing from command line [10:15] bonjoyee, ok, I mounted it on /mount/2gb/ like I usually do, and yes, it's sdb1 [10:15] sorry was a long time ago when i had to reinstall grub [10:15] llutz_, oh right, that makes sense :) [10:15] bencahill: after that chroot /mnt [10:15] sunit, can you tell me the command? [10:16] sudo grub-install --root-directory= /dev/sda [10:16] bencahill : sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [10:16] sunit, that you are using (to install j2ee) [10:16] Does anyone know which PPA for the latest and best version of Pitivi with effects? [10:17] bencahill: thats assuming you mounted the usb to /mnt [10:17] rs0832, I have given ./j2eesdk-1_4_03-linux.bin [10:17] bonjoyee, error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub ( is /dev mounted?). [10:17] Autonomiser: i believe there's a git/make file out there for that [10:17] Autonomiser: or stick with kdenlive or openshot [10:18] bonjoyee, it doesn't matter where it's mounted, right? [10:18] Autonomiser: openshot has to be the easiest video editor out there [10:18] bencahill : did u chroot to where you mounted the usb [10:18] How do I create a filter in synaptic? :D [10:18] bencahill: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [10:18] bonjoyee, yes, sudo chroot /mount/2gb/ [10:18] Us3r_Unfriendly: Thanks [10:19] like, I'd like to be shown games that don't have "ball" in their name [10:19] FrozenKnight: synaptic is like apt-cache search vs. sudo aptitude serch more precise with aptitude i believe [10:19] Autonomiser: no problem [10:19] sunit, did you download it recently? [10:19] Us3r_Unfriendly: But for some reason I don't like using KDE GUI's but if it get the job done it gets the job done right? [10:19] bencahill: yeah follow the link... Jordan_U gave..i missed a few steps [10:19] no [10:20] Autonomiser: have you tried openshot? [10:20] Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks, I have never used that search extensively, I should better find some tutorials somewhere.

[10:27] can I just replace the "restart your mac and hold alt" bit? [10:27] or should I follow the windows instructions or something? === KILLSEMEN|WRAP is now known as KILLSEMEN [10:28] Us3r_Unfriendly: My main thing that I do with video is mastering or remastering the audio part [10:28] blah, had to purchase a live usb drive, air mail [10:28] Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E) in my home WLAN. T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10. T's WLAN is ok when booting with older kernel. E is new so running 10.10. E has been at workplace WLAN, where is ok. E also dualboots Win7, with it WLAN is ok also at home. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even [10:28] at least i'll have it eventually [10:28] night folks [10:28] Autonomiser: I think all those video editors will work then [10:29] quit [10:29] sudo halt riothouse [10:29] How do I get the little networking icon to show on my panel? I have it on my fresh-install laptop, but not on my desktop which i used an old /home partition. [10:29] Us3r_Unfriendly: So I just need a video editing program that gives me the same plug-ins as I get in Ardour [10:29] Autonomiser: haven't used ardour before...what are the plugins? [10:30] jimcooncat: did u have that icon on the desktop before? [10:30] Us3r_Unfriendly: The last time I tried the dev audio and video plug-in version of Pitivi it was pretty bad with lots of broken stuff [10:31] bonjoyee, it said (for grub-install) Installation finished. No error reported. :) [10:31] sunit, i think you should install a more recent version.. maybe the version of libstdc that is required is older [10:31] thetrav: Yes, that is all you should need to replace. But to be honest those instructions seem dubious to me. [10:31] bencahill:looks good..now try booting;) [10:32] bonjoyee, oh dammit, I did it to /dev/sda :()() [10:32] bencahill; really? [10:32] Autonomiser: did you look into openshot [10:32] i'd start there [10:32] bonjoyee, yes :( [10:32] bonjoyee, I didn't mean on the desktop (gui), I meant my old desktop box. I'm missing the networking icon in gnome-panel (or notification area) [10:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: Oh just all the LADSPA audio plug-ings [10:32] openshot should be paying me [10:32] bonjoyee, I guess do the whole thing again with the correct grub-install [10:32] bencahill: dont reboot.. the hdd install [10:33] bonjoyee, ...and then do grub-install for /dev/sda out of chroot? [10:33] bonjoyee, oh, I'm not rebooting! [10:33] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yes I just installed it from the Ubuntu Software Centre and I am checking it out now. [10:33] llutz_: lol here we go again [10:33] bencahill: in a new terminal..grub-install for /dev/sda [10:33] bencahill: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [10:33] Autonomiser: might be what your looking for [10:33] bonjoyee, right, and then do the same thing again, but correctly this time :) [10:34] bonjoyee, ok, one minute... [10:34] bencahill: are you installing grub on a flashdrive? [10:34] bencahill: yeah [10:34] sunit, try installing this one - https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter [10:34] I have alot of ubuntu servers in my office, I have read about radius as a possible means to use the same credentials across several machines, can this be done with ubuntu?

[10:42] I'll give it a go Us3r [10:42] bonjoyee, Gave up waiting for root device. [10:42] Us3r_Unfriendly: Okay cool I would like to check that out myself (compiz) [10:42] i dont know its just not the same [10:42] rs0832, ok [10:43] bonjoyee, ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/longuuidhere does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [10:43] Us3r_Unfriendly: So how does one go about searching the a git/make file? [10:43] bencahill: check the uuid..did u make the change i suggested the other day? [10:43] Autonomiser: actually my dutch friend made a video like a month ago on a script that does it for you...aparently it gives you all the experimental plugins... [10:43] bonjoyee, what change? [10:43] hello. If i start screen and ssh and detach....can i then shut down my computer(client computer) entirely and resume the screen session at a later point? [10:43] Autonomiser: i only install a few by hand [10:43] Us3r_Unfriendly: Very cool [10:43] or git [10:44] lol [10:44] Hi all, wondering if anyone can remind me how to change how kernel updates behave... I want old kernels to be removed on update? I tried dpkg --configure linux-kernel but that didn't work. [10:44] !ot | Autonomiser, Us3r_Unfriendly [10:44] Autonomiser, Us3r_Unfriendly: #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! [10:44] lol whoa I cannot go more retro than irssi [10:44] it looks sweet [10:44] hi [10:44] hello. If i start screen and ssh and detach....can i then shut down my computer(client computer) entirely and resume the screen session at a later point? [10:45] i cant connect via wireless from ubuntu just full upgraded [10:45] bencahill: about the uuid..its wrong in your usb install...on the kernel line...that could be it [10:45] nice cdbs [10:45] how do I add a server like irc.gnome.org in xchat-gnome? [10:45] bencahill: check the grub.cfg on your usb install [10:45] ants: /connect irc.freenode.net [10:45] bonjoyee, can I check it in here? (busybox) [10:45] ants: /join #ubuntu [10:46] Diverdude, not exactly sure what you mean but ssh has to reauthenticate [10:46] cheers [10:46] /nick ants [10:46] Us3r_Unfriendly: Any links so I don't have to bug you with sooo many potentially annoying questions? === rs0832 is now known as rs0832_ [10:46] the network settings just don't have the connect button and i cant do it via iwconfig (because the command returns) neither with wireless-radar or anyone else.. the driver is compatibile and loaded...i can see networks but i cant connect === redshift is now known as rs0832 [10:46] Oops sorry cdbs [10:47] Diverdude: Screen only acts as a terminal windowing system, turning off your machine will close the process [10:47] Autonomiser: http://www.youtube.com/user/UbuntuHelpGuy#p/u/9/v91DSF6fOnA [10:48] rs0832, I am downloading [10:48] bencahill: dont think so...boot into the hdd..and change from there [10:48] Thanks Us3r_Unfriendly but our off topicness have upset a channel opp [10:48] I shall contact you later [10:48] bonjoyee, 'k, booting... [10:48] sunit, ok [10:48] Autonomiser: I haven't tried it so try at your own risk...these are experimental so it's not a pretty picture everytime (crashes in system but rare) [10:48] bonjoyee, it also said another cause could be "Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)" , if it makes any difference... [10:48] Draken-, I have some heavy calculations i want to run on my server so i might wanna go home and come back next day. Will screen be good for that? [10:48] Us3r_Unfriendly: Yes i expected as much [10:48] Hi. [10:49] Is there a way of installing Ubuntu from one partition onto another? [10:49] Diverdude: On a server that remains powered on yes you can disconnect a screen session and it should work. Just don't turn off the machine. [10:49] Without invoking the LiveCD/USB? [10:49] it's not really off topic seeing that your going to install onto ubuntu with git...i just don't think he read everything we wrote [10:49] Oh okay [10:50] Yes it Ubuntu all the way with me my friend [10:50] I just can't use anything else [10:50] Autonomiser: i've actually seen that alot lately where someone jumps the gun on someone, especially when that someone was giving advice on ubuntu [10:50] I even gave up using SolidWorks for it [10:50] Oh okay [10:50] Draken-, yeah ok of course the server will remain powered on. only the client will be shut down [10:50] ok solved installing another driver :P thanks [10:51] i might switch my distro if someone ! at me again lol [10:51] bonjoyee, it is correct in usb grub, because I was in it's environment (chroot), so it got it right (when I did grub-mkconfig) [10:51] Diverdude: Yeah didn't see originally that you were talking about connecting to a server. Once you disconnect from the server screen will stay running and can be reattached later when you reconnect. [10:52] Feisty channel opps! [10:52] bencahill: sure its the uuid of the usb? in both instances? [10:52] Autonomiser: we can talk in #ubuntu-gum-drops-and-rainbows room...I hear it's nice ops there [10:52] bencahill : set UUID= and on kernel line: root=UUID? [10:52] bonjoyee, yes, it's auto-generated, and the same on the search line and on the linux line === david is now known as s3r3n1t7 [10:53] This is annoying... I don't understand the "patters" in aptitude's search/tree limit mechanism [10:53] bonjoyee, search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set longuuidhere [10:53] FrozenKnight: what's the problem in aptitude? [10:54] Us3r_Unfriendly: aptitude has no problem, the problem is me... I just can't figure out how to search for anything else than a precise term. [10:54] lol [10:54] bonjoyee, linux /boot/vmlinuz-blabla root=UUID=longuuid here ro quiet splash vga=792 [10:54] I just got the gag [10:54] erm... I mean... all packages not containing "something" [10:54] s/longuuid here/longuuidhere [10:54] Autonomiser: :P [10:54] so it turns out there's not much to irc [10:54] FrozenKnight: apt-cache search video [10:54] Us3r_Unfriendly: I even went to that channel [10:54] I am a bit slow [10:54] lol it was a joke [10:55] np [10:55] !lol | Autonomiser [10:55] Autonomiser: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [10:55] Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah, that's OK :) but how do I search not video :) [10:55] "not video" [10:55] wow [10:55] reminds me so much of being a the days of high school and teenchat haha [10:55] i got some updates and thet bewout my wubi mbr [10:55] bencahill: and those are the uuids of the usb /? [10:55] bonjoyee, yes [10:55] FrozenKnight: how was the search output though? [10:55] compared to aptitude? [10:55] Wait... 2 sec :D [10:55] bonjoyee, i can check to make sure, one sec... [10:55] the last batch of updates wrecked my wubi [10:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: extensive (o.o) [10:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: cool. [10:56] bonjoyee, yep, they're correct. hmm... [10:56] s3r3n1t7: Wow the OMG I posted would have been in reference to the "OMG Ubuntu" web site! [10:56] bencahill: ok..then i am out of ideas..i believe! [10:56] s3r3n1t7: cdbs i don't see you guys helping... [10:56] hold back a bit [10:57] Gee screw this I am out of here [10:57] and keep it cool. just trying to help this guy [10:57] Hasn't "omg","lol" etc been used in IRC for generations or have things changed since the good old 90's? [10:57] bonjoyee, any ideas regarding the modules message stated above? [10:57] Us3r_Unfriendly: OK :) So here would be the thing I'm trying to achieve... I'm trying to show all the games, but hide those that come from kde :) [10:57] bencahillL i thought we nearly got it going!! [10:57] Us3r_Unfriendly, I do help people regularly, thank you. [10:57] when [10:57] bonjoyee, so close! [10:58] wb ants [10:58] cheers [10:58] Us3r_Unfriendly: I am a channel op, and I am doing some Ubuntu Development ATM, so, as you can see, I am really busy, and though I do help sometimes, I don't do that for long, Sorry for that [10:58] xchat-gnome does suck [10:58] it crashed HARD [10:58] !language | ants [10:58] ants: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [10:59] bencahill: now google is your best friend..i guess! [10:59] bonjoyee, yes, and that plop forum :) === a is now known as auauauaua [10:59] bonjoyee, anyway, thx for the help, I really need to get to bed! (5:00 local time) :P [11:00] bencahill:thats the time people get out of bed..in part of the world!!;) [11:00] bonjoyee, yeah, I know, anyway, g'night! [11:01] bencahill: gn.. [11:01] What is the terminal command for updating all my packages? When i log into my server it says: 79 packages can be updated. 48 updates are security updates. [11:01] s3r3n1t7: Diverdude might need your help [11:01] Us3r_Unfriendly: !! Idea... apt-cache search games | grep "^kde" === bencahill is now known as bencahill|zzzzzz [11:01] Diverdude, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:01] FrozenKnight: does that work better? [11:01] Us3r_Unfriendly, i do not need you to tell me who to help and who not to help. I have my own work to do as well, thank you. [11:02] Us3r_Unfriendly: Everyone has his/her free and busy times. Its rude to poke people and order them to help people [11:02] sam-_-, arrg...so i have to press y for all packages to agree? [11:02] Us3r_Unfriendly: bummer :/ I need to see how grep uses regular expressions. [11:02] Diverdude, just once [11:02] sam-_-, ok nice [11:02] Us3r_Unfriendly: it showed me the groups of kdegames :D [11:03] ! [11:03] Diverdude: sudo apt-get upgrade [11:05] hello. May I write a long question here? like really long? [11:05] Milossh, maybe its better you use a pastebin :) [11:05] Milossh: yes [11:05] to rs0832 [11:06] Milossh: pastebin [11:06] Is there a way to update an Iphone in Ubuntu? [11:06] Milossh, try to get the core of the question in a single sentence, and then you can pastebin any additionial information. [11:07] s3r3n1t7: can't be done [11:07] believe me [11:07] I'll pastebin [11:07] i'll try to help [11:07] Milossh, i'm intrigued [11:08] Sorry guys but i have to ask once again, the last solution did not work: How do i batch rename a ton of files and folders recursively from upper to lowercase please? The files are super nested within 1000s of folders and contain all sorts of symbols, spaces, numbers and characters [11:08] Milossh: what does it concern though? [11:08] n cyber-nux [11:09] Milp_main, do you have any script experience? If so, you may want totake a look at http://www.linuxweblog.com/node/306 . [11:09] Milp_main: i believe metalx1000 on youtube made a video on your question [11:09] Milp_main: try look at: http://www.infinicode.org/code/pyrenamer/ [11:10] wow thanks for all the answers, hold on let me check them [11:11] ill try pyrenamer first, that looks like a sturdy solution :) [11:11] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/896420 === ray_ is now known as kotellette [11:11] all the scripts and perl-somethings that ive found before either didnt work at all or ignored files with spaces in them or something else :( [11:11] Us3r_Unfriendly, sam-_-, s3r3n1t7 ^^ [11:12] I can give you guys the output from netstat if you need it [11:12] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/896421 [11:12] Milossh: so you lose you connection only on ubuntu's side or even of 7 too? [11:13] Us3r_Unfriendly: I don't know, I didn't ever had both turned on [11:13] win7 is there, just in case my system goes down [11:13] Milossh: comcast? [11:13] isp [11:13] I've logged into it for like 5 times [11:14] Us3r_Unfriendly: nope, I'm from serbia [11:14] Milossh: it apears you isp has a problem with the dns server solution would be to use bind9 [11:14] Milossh: i've had this happen because of a modem firmware update [11:15] sacarlson: that does not make sense, because, when I restart computer, and log into ubuntu, it's still not working === aaron_ is now known as MorphixNW [11:15] Milossh: another solution would be to change your dhcp to use opendns.com as there dns servers and also use 2 for redundancy [11:15] if I log into win7, everything starts working [11:15] Milp_main, if you want, you can try http://clipboarded.blogspot.com/2007/09/batch-rename.html [11:15] Milossh: may be the router has Qos enabled..limits the no of connections? [11:15] Milp_main, and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1333557 [11:15] but guys, it's not router [11:15] sacarlson how do i make it work recursively? it only does one folder :( [11:15] rs0832 thank you ill have a look shortly [11:16] Milossh: I know you think since win7 works but you don't relize that win7 has a hard coded dns on failure [11:16] Milossh: could this be due to something faulty in iptables [11:16] it's definitely something wrong with ubuntu, as everything starts working without restarting router if I log into win7 [11:16] Us3r_Unfriendly: I didn't touch ip tables === shakil is now known as St0n3-C0l [11:16] Milossh: you can test it with dig [11:16] Milossh: firestart, gufw, ufw or some other front-end to iptables? [11:17] randalf00 === adrian is now known as Guest7222 [11:17] sacarlson: how? [11:17] Milossh: dig @opendns.com yahoo.com [11:17] Us3r_Unfriendly: I'm not a linux expert, I use just limited set of tools [11:17] :) [11:18] Milossh: oh that won't work [11:18] just `dig` outputs something [11:19] Milossh: dig @208.67.222.222 yahoo.com [11:19] Milossh: sudo iptables -L gives you an output of the firewall and more output on various sections of chains...I'd start there first...unfortionally i don't know if there's a easy way to this issue [11:19] Milossh: compare that with just dig yahoo.com when you have problems as stated above [11:19] that shows something sacarlson [11:20] hi [11:20] does ubuntu power off harddisk when inactive or just spin down harddisk if I select 'Spin down harddisks when possible' in Power Manager...? [11:20] Us3r_Unfriendly: no rules [11:20] Milossh: the number 208.67.222.222 is the dns server from http://opendns.com [11:21] Milossh: no firewall then [11:21] and 30minutes later I figured out how to disable the notification icon [11:21] what a n00b [11:21] not a firewall issue...but what about the firewall on the router? [11:21] Milossh: if that works they have another number to use as a redundant number that you should program into your router instead of using the provided isp single number [11:21] Milossh: what happens if you connect straight modem? [11:22] sacarlson: thanks! [11:22] Us3r_Unfriendly: how? [11:22] hey everyone [11:22] ubuntu sucks [11:22] switch to gentoo [11:22] uguu [11:22] electronicmaji: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:22] Milossh: the secound redundant number is 208.67.220.220 [11:22] * xjrn switched from gentoo [11:22] gentoo is cool [11:23] but all linux distros are almost the same to me [11:23] probably the wrong channel, recent allegation of openbsd backdoors etc, apart from openssh implications, anyone know of others for linux distros. I have no idea what other openbsd parts there are. [11:23] with their individual differences [11:23] sacarlson: I totally don't understand you now :) [11:23] Milossh: what is it you don't understand? [11:23] Milossh, those are dns server IP's. You enter them as primary, secondary DNS server. [11:23] Milossh: when you have a failure can you ping those two numbers I gave you? [11:24] sacarlson: yeah, I can try [11:24] gentoo devs are the most blatant examples of the dunning kruger effect taking hold long after the original masters have moved on [11:24] but the thing is, since I installed Maverick, this started happening. :/ [11:25] xjrn, this is an Ubuntu support channel. Would you mind staying on topic? [11:25] on jaunty, and I had it for a long time, this never happened [11:25] Milossh: you can also override what your dhcp server provides you in ubuntu by modifing /etc/resolv.conf file with those two numbers added [11:25] sacarlson: should I do that on my notebook too? [11:26] Milossh: it happens randomly on most IPS due to the fact that routers don't use the redundant servers just the first one it detects that is working [11:26] isp [11:26] . [11:26] sacarlson: I think I hardcoded those into my router via telnet [11:26] Milossh: if you program you dhcp server then it will fix all you units [11:26] but I'm not sure if such thing is possible actually [11:27] Hello [11:27] sacarlson: few years ago, our isp dns servers had problems, so I changed them to opendns [11:27] !hi | Katze [11:27] after a while, I turned them back to the original ones [11:27] !hi [11:27] pshr: it doesn't work. [11:27] I am using telnet [11:27] via telnet, as my router does not have an option in its web panel [11:28] hi [11:28] Milossh: ok you can look up what your isp provides and add them to the list of redundant servers if you need more [11:28] Myrtti: Just trying :) [11:28] I have a quick question. [11:28] Katze: ? [11:28] sacarlson: ok, thanks for all the help. Us3r_Unfriendly, you too! [11:28] What is the dev file for a microphone? [11:28] and everyone else [11:29] Katze: /dev/dsp [11:29] WhPRIVMSG #ubuntu :Thanks. [11:29] no problem...serbia looks really nice [11:29] I want to help a friend detect whether 3D drivers are installed. How? glxgears? [11:30] nick4: that sounds correct to me [11:30] nick4: glxinfo | grep direct [11:30] ahh thank you both! [11:35] What's a good all-in-one emulator, preferably with XBMC? Something that can do Mame, SNES, Gameboy, etc.? [11:36] need vpn login [11:36] Will I be able to run classic Quake3 with OpenArena? Otherwise, what is the package name for ioquake3 in the ubuntu repos? [11:37] Woah, some error in my server-hosters traffic counter recorded 200gb of traffic through some "Partial content" error (Confixx, parallels power panel) does anyone know of similar problems? [11:39] haha cube atlantis is awesome [11:40] if i try to install ubuntu and ubuntu thinks i have no hard drive, what does that mean? [11:41] UBuxuBU, which type of hdd you have? and which ubuntu you are trying to install? [11:41] i tried 10.10 [11:41] it usually means that support for that specific hdd controller/mobo is not in the kernel [11:41] and i have an 80 gig sata [11:41] strange.. sata drives should be detected without problems [11:42] is it a new motherboard? [11:42] i know sata should work [11:42] UBuxuBU: can you start a terminal and do sudo fdisk -l ? [11:42] its about 5 years old [11:42] Does Ubuntu support i7-gtx460 machines? [11:42] empathy isn't too bad on irc [11:42] yuck [11:43] what would fdisk do for me [11:43] UBuxuBU: that should list all hard disks that are detected [11:43] well i can u the answer is none [11:43] rOOt4rd3d: I knew I'd get a response from you [11:43] lol [11:43] gpartded says none [11:44] UBuxuBU, and dmesg | grep sd [11:44] ?

Who can help me ? [11:44] if fdisk shows a hd and gparted doesnt then what [11:45] UBuxuBU: time to format it using the command line [11:45] that'll work [11:45] you hardisk not recognized u need to reformat the disk and make it active [11:45] UBuxuBU: I thought you said fdisk -l didn't detect a hard disk? [11:45] deepocean: what problems? front mic? [11:45] bonjoyee, hello. Yes sound works well but Mic is not working [11:45] i said gpatred cant see it [11:46] UBuxuBU: format issue 100% [11:46] and it will not install ubuntu [11:46] bonjoyee, I have a MEdion laptop with Realtek ALC 888 chipset so I tried to edit deepocean [11:46] use another or use gparted it self [11:46] ok Us3r_Unfriendly [11:46] bonjoyee, I have a MEdion laptop with Realtek ALC 888 chipset so I tried to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [11:46] deepocean: ok..so? [11:46] so i gotta format it at the gd command line [11:46] and !

[11:48] format in windows [11:48] deepocean: i have the exact same chip..on a desktop...and is does [11:48] UBuxuBU: boot into a live cd and sudo mkfs.ext4 /"to-where-ever-you-mount-your-drive-to" [11:48] it wont run windows [11:48] UBuxuBU: my ruff guess is it's just an operator error in gparted. it should see everything fdisk -l does. are you sure about gparted? [11:48] how do i increase the daily mail send quota on postfix? [11:48] bonjoyee, I dont know [11:48] your back r00t4rd3d === r00t4rd3d_ is now known as r00t4rd3d [11:49] bonjoyee, to be clear: in windows everything works. I do get mic and sound. Never bother with surround etc.. [11:49] yes i am sure gparted thinks i got 6.2 gigs and i got 80 [11:49] deepocean: try options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch [11:49] had to log out and back in [11:49] gpartged cant see 47 gigs of windows either [11:49] deepocean: then reboot and tell what happens [11:49] I did that git thing to get experimental stuff for compiz [11:49] UBuxuBU: this'll will erase and format the drive just so you know [11:50] good [11:50] hello [11:50] bonjoyee, brb [11:50] r00t4rd3d how'd it turn out? [11:50] okay [11:50] hiphop [11:50] music [11:50] chat [11:50] i think a mobo controller is borked [11:50] Hi ! I'm trying to install 10.10amd64 from a usb stick on a newtop laptop bought without OS. It starts to boot, but it stays forever on the "syslinux ..." screen. Any idea besides trying a CD install ? [11:51] UBuxuBU: oh now it does see something, just the wrong number. did you see the box in the uper right corner of gparted? try select another disk. [11:51] hmm [11:51] how to reduce the file size of a ogv file? [11:51] i have a 1GB file the resolution of the video is 720p. It dosn't matter if i loose some quality of the video [11:51] bony: gzip it [11:51] all it sees is bios [11:51] i get this *untrusted repository* warning when im installing stuff from the actual ubuntu repos [11:51] Us3r_Unfriendly, I want it to be in ogv [11:52] UBuxuBU: but it was visible in fdisk -l? [11:52] oops misunderstood [11:52] i havent run fdisk [11:52] nicocool: is your laptop amd64? [11:52] just started talking about it [11:52] Us3r_Unfriendly, I want to reduce the quality a bit so that i can save lot of space. I want to upload this video to the web [11:52] bony: you could cut it into parts [11:52] fdisk wont do jack [11:52] http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3355/screenshotxov.png [11:52] fishy's [11:53] that much i know [11:53] Can I have a ubuntu claok?

[11:54] gobbe: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43529 here it says "64 bits" [11:54] bonjoyee, I dont think it works [11:54] Can I have a ubuntu cloak? [11:54] yes lamred [11:54] nicocool: do you have more than 4 GB memory?

[11:54] nicocool: then 64bit doesn't give you anything [11:54] nicocool: try 32bit [11:55] u already have windows and u try to install ubt on other partition [11:55] ? [11:55] what color lamred [11:55] yeah empathy isn't 100% with irc in my book...the notifier isn't the greatest lol [11:55] bonjoyee, I tried to record on sound recorder but I dont hear anything [11:55] gobbe: ok I'll give it a try... nothing nothing you're sure ? [11:55] -_- [11:55] deepocean: open alsamixer..and check the settings [11:56] nicocool: well. first idea is that it is not supported with 64bit, atleast looks like using 64bit in 32bit machine [11:56] bonjoyee, I have set everything to maximum [11:56] nicocool: and anyway, using 64bit doesn't give anything more if you don't have more memory than 4 GB [11:56] #ed [11:56] bonjoyee, anything special? [11:56] deepocean: also open gstreamer-properties and check the default recording device..set all to pulseaudio [11:57] gobbe: ok thanks. recently installed 64bits on my main pc, because it did only "see" 3 go on my 4 go before. and I seem to notice a little performance increase. placebo effect maybe :) [11:57] I have alot of ubuntu servers in my office, I have read about radius as a possible means to use the same credentials across several machines, can this be done with ubuntu? Any hints on where to read up on doing that would be aprichiated. The users connect over ssh. [11:58] yes Ruthgard [11:58] deepocean: else add options snd-hda-intel model=default, reboot. i that does not work..delete that line..look elsewhere! [11:58] hello [11:58] Goodbye.

[12:11] hello everyone! my audio controllers from my notebook just stoped working. Volume control via taskbar also is gone, how do i repair / troubleshoot it? [12:11] adammw111, e.g. LAMP must be booted regardless.

[12:13] I have a riddle [12:14] adammw111, I simply don't start most services. And when I CD into a certain directory (e.g. A webdevelopment project) a script starts the LAMP stack. But that is all hackish scripting. [12:14] and am not happy...windows works fine though... [12:14] what do i do?

[12:17] guillaume_, using single quotes makes it escape special characters [12:17] stuckonmychair, please note that the [enter] key is not a replacement for a fullstop. Nor for a space :) [12:17] Anyone know why a routine update of linux-headers would prevent booting? [12:17] c0nv1ct, rhaaa it was so easy... thanks ! [12:18] stuckonmychair, where do you see these errors? Just after the BIOS, or after Ubuntu loaded already? [12:18] yes...just after that [12:18] ust after bios [12:18] wyclif: prevent booting do you mean no graphics in X? maybe you were using propriatary drivers? [12:18] Guys I have a Realtek ALC 888 I have tried everything to get my mic working with no luck. Who can help me? [12:19] it shows thses three lines and...restarts... [12:19] stuckonmychair, Did you meddle with grub or startup? Did you (re)install Windows /after/ ubuntu? [12:20] Nopes...nothing of that sort. [12:20] in fact..i was working on latex the other night...wasn't having any troubles [12:20] sacarlson preventing booting: "error: cannot read the Linux header. error: you need to load the kernel first" [12:20] stuckonmychair, things like this don't "just happen" something must have gone amiss. We should try to figure out what. Your error messages are giving me no lead. [12:20] Ouch. [12:21] would installing new programs be a problem? [12:21] try it [12:21] stuckonmychair, could it be a broken Harddisk? Do you have some HD inspection tool in your BIOS? [12:21] wyclif: well if something is looking for headers sounds like it's trying to compile something? [12:22] yea..i did all the hard disk tests.. [12:22] stuckonmychair, new programs can cause trouble, yes. Some programs are designed to change the login (like Ubuntu Tweak) so installing them, and playing with them could cause trouble, yes. [12:22] deepocean, if you really tried "everything" your mic is broken :-) [12:22] there are some kinda applications [12:22] sam-_-, In windows it works [12:22] !sacarlson Usually when dpkg runs I usually see updates to linux headers and it's usually no problem. But the latest update of those totally causes a boot fail [12:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:23] deepocean, sound works though? [12:23] i've been checking out the forums...looks like some kinda graphics issue would also cause this sort of error messages... [12:23] sam-_-, Yes sounds works perfect [12:23] deepocean, mic runs via same sound card? [12:23] sam-_-, only mic [12:23] Yes [12:23] but of course, me being a noobie to all this understoon no shit. [12:24] wyclif: well hold the shift key at boot and try boot the older kernel I guess. [12:24] sam-_-, in sudo gstreamer-properties I select PulseAudio server voor mic. [12:24] deepocean, so could you describe real quick what you tried? [12:24] stuckonmychair, no, if it happens before boot, probably not. There is no graphics server running by then. [12:24] sam-_-, but for Device it says I can choose from UNKNOWN and UNKNOWN [12:24] sacarlson: I may be forced to do that, right now I'm gonna try to reboot from a CD [12:24] ok, a quick question [12:24] sam-_-, sure [12:25] sam-_-, I tried alsa mixer to set everything on max [12:25] if i reinstall ubuntu...would i lose the files....? [12:25] deepocean, why do you use sudo with gstreamer-properties? [12:25] stuckonmychair, have you tried to log in with failsafe? [12:25] wyclif: I assume you still have the old kernel, if that is still installed just change default back to that [12:25] i don't know how to do that [12:25] sam-_-, then I tried to edit sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [12:26] or...have i not understood yur question... :P [12:26] stuckonmychair, and no. If you don't (re)format the drives during installation, ubuntu will be "repaired" rather then overwritten entirely [12:26] sam-_-, and tried different things from default to Medion medion-md2 (I have Medion laptop with ALC 888 chipset) [12:26] wow...wonderful....thats good [12:26] sacarlson: yes, it's booting now, I'll try to roll back to the pre-update state, still wondering why that would happen when it hasn't before [12:26] sacarlson: thanks [12:26] rs0832, I have installed J2ee. Thanks [12:27] stuckonmychair, Maybe someone else in this chan knows how to change GRUB so that it shows all the startup options, instead of autoloading the default. [12:27] sunit, glad it worked :) [12:27] deepocean, why do you use sudo with gstreamer-properties? [12:27] so you mean, if i reinstall ubuntu now, i would not lose any of the files that i normally access through ubuntu? [12:27] stuckonmychair, one of these options is a resqueu failsafe modus. [12:27] sam-_-, does it matter ? [12:27] deepocean, how do you test your mic? === Lenoob`ZzZ is now known as Lenoob [12:27] with skype [12:27] sam-_-, with skype and Sound recorder [12:27] deepocean, yes it matters [12:27] stuckonmychair, that is right. Again, provided you choose the correct options during install/repair :) [12:27] Lenoob: Hi Lenoob [12:28] hehe...yea...i get it... [12:28] Hi [12:28] wyclif: you could also turn the text view on to see at what point it happens. there's a gui called startup-manager that makes it easy to make changes in grub to change defaults and turn text on [12:28] sam-_-, ok will do without sudo [12:28] so,...mind telling me how i can go about with the failsafe mode? [12:28] sam-_-, ok no luck [12:28] sacarlson: I generally prefer grub to lilo [12:29] deepocean, that was quick [12:29] stuckonmychair, see scarlson answers about grub just above here too. [12:29] wyclif: startup-manager is just the gui for grub2 [12:30] deepocean, give me a sec [12:30] ok [12:30] sacarlson: I also have my /boot/grub/menu.lst backed up just in case anything gets overwritten [12:31] sacarlson: usually I just edit grub on the command line [12:31] rs0832, bye [12:31] sunit, bye:) [12:32] thanks a bunch berkes. you are the lord. ;) [12:32] Coffee, you had me at "hello." [12:33] wyclif: I don't thing grub2 uses /boot/grub/menu.lst any more [12:33] Grub1 = menu.lst [12:33] grub2 = totally differnt. [12:33] for grub2 --> change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub [12:33] sacarlson: yes that's true, guess I need to back up again! =) [12:33] to see the text messages. change it to 'text' to disable gdm [12:34] and then run 'sudo update-grub') and then you'll have your scrolling text : [12:34] Dr_Willis: thanks [12:39] BentFranklin: Hi there, I'm actually in the City of Brotherly Love (Philly) right now [12:40] just installed 10.04, keeping my fingers crossed [12:41] gobbe: found a workaround ! [12:41] is very glad he upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 [12:42] whats the difference between 10.4 and 10.10 [12:43] bibic682: half a year new packages [12:43] bibic682, 10.04 is lts [12:44] bibic682, then there r new features in 10.10 === a is now known as Guest30894 === Guest30894 is now known as noobish [12:45] Hallo zusammen [12:45] I'm amused by these web tutorials where the first thing they want to show you is how to install grub2-splashimages === noobish is now known as wegonfindu [12:46] why is 10.10 not in update manager yet? [12:46] I guess this is an any shell question, ctrl+a brings me to the front of the command, what brings me to the end? [12:47] ctrl+e, nevermind, found it [12:47] bibic682 : do you mean 11.04 or 10.10 [12:47] is there a distro that has more packages (whether from official or unofficial sources) than Ubuntu? [12:47] 10.10 [12:47] looonger: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, so offtopic [12:47] bibic682, what is ur current version? [12:48] looonger: I think SuSE does...it's BIG. Even back in the day you had to have a DVD for it all [12:48] hello [12:48] anyone here? [12:48] aj264, no [12:48] aj264, hi [12:48] bibic682: I'm not at ubuntu right now,but under synaptic check that you put upgrades to normal release not lts [12:48] aj264: Present and accounted for [12:49] 1=.04 [12:49] 10.04 [12:49] :) === tyeserel is now known as Tyeserel [12:49] uh..anyone can help me with a problem which i think is probably related to dnsmasq [12:50] bibic682, select normal release in software sources and update list [12:50] ok will look [12:50] thanks [12:51] aj264: That is above my pay grade, but maybe some of the more sysadmin type users here will chime in [12:51] ok [12:51] Which is the best app launcher + window manager for ubuntu desktop? [12:51] I've recently installed Ubuntu after quite a lot of time and now it seems like a huge distro [12:51] its just a basic problem though..with an adhoc network i used to get automatic ip assignment [12:51] ayush_, app launcher = gnome do [12:52] whenever i connected another device to my ubuntu laptop [12:52] aj264: maybe your needing a dhcpd? [12:52] ayush: Define "best": fastest, lightest, most powerful? There are many to choose from... [12:52] AbhiJit, no i mean which is the best aming docky, awn, cairo, etc? [12:53] uh. i am not running a server, just looking to share internet connection to my android [12:53] Any idea how to troubleshoot or diagnose a weird WLAN problem? I'm having around 20% packet loss on two laptops (T and E) in my home WLAN. T's problem appeared after upgrade to 10.10. T's WLAN is ok when booting with older kernel. E is new so running 10.10. E has been at workplace WLAN, where is ok. E also dualboots Win7, with it WLAN is ok also at home. There is also a 3rd laptop, A, which runs 10.04 and wlan works. The problem comes and goes, sometimes can't even [12:53] !ics | aj264 [12:53] aj264: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [12:53] ayush_, try cairo / awn [12:53] i used to do this without any problem [12:53] Ileden: have you logged a bug ? [12:54] aj264: Have you tried Firestarter? [12:54] Ileden: you've been asking for days, what have you done beyond repeat the same question on IRC over and over [12:54] I checked off everything and now I have a lot of updates to install and 10.10 available [12:54] hmm [12:54] Hi [12:54] wyclif, one which provides easy switching between multiple instances of the same app. like two separate windows of firefox [12:54] and my android got ip assigned to it automatically when i connected it to the adhoc network created by the ubuntu..and it shared the internet on my lan automatically with the adhoc network, now there is just the prob of ip assignment [12:54] should I install 10.10 after all updates?

Also, amongst family life I really don't have 24h to spend on debugging WLAN, which is why I'm hoping that someone here might have help for me. Your tone was rather moralizing, which I don't much like. I always try to contribute back by helping others on this channel. I didn't realize there was a unwritten social limit to how much I can ask about an issue that I'm pre [12:59] never mind..i think the links provided can help, thanks anyways guys [12:59] Ileden: there is no time limit, I'm asking what else you've one, and if you had logged a bug against the kenrnel that was causing the problem [13:00] ikonia: as for logging I bug, I'd love to, but I don't think I have the competence to report it with an accuracy that would be acutally helpful for developers.

[13:03] hello [13:04] #ubuntu-us-nc [13:05] ikonia: in fact, that's part of the reason I'm asking for help on _diagnozing_ the issue - in order to gather, and thus provide, more infromation about the problem. I'd rather not file a bug report which doesn't contain the relevant reports of some diagnostic commands that I don't know yet. [13:06] ikonia: I'll look into filing the bug report. [13:07] Ileden: its your lan, it worked fine, you upgraded one box to 10.10, now it's getting packet loss, that's a good enough starting point [13:07] At boot FATAL could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/modules.dep no such file or directory then hangs [13:08] can anyone help [13:08] ikonia: true. though had not the new E laptop failed with WLAN too, I would have just put it into a minor incident.

It's, just, I didn't expect to be debugging WLAN few days to christmas, and I've had a huge streak of hardware failure recently both at home and at work. Bit on edge. :( [13:15] Guest64773: just curious, what did you change (install/remove) just before you started getting this error?

A standard lshw entry looks like "* - network" and the entry on the faulty laptop states "* - network DISABLED" [14:03] tonysan: don't know what that is.

If not open a terminal and see if lsusb lists it. [14:04] sandhya: /etc/network/interfaces [14:04] histo: That is Ubuntu Rescue Remix... [14:04] sam-_-: exact name of what? It isn't one card. it's both and they were working fine.

I'm not seeing anything there that jumps out at me. You may want to ask in #httpd as previously suggested for more in-depth support.

I can only get you going the old way manually. [14:07] histo: I'm happy to go manual [14:07] sandhya, if you disable something in the BIOS it's a pretty good bet it won't show up anywhere software related.

It also shows my non-working XP GRUB2 entry on my system [15:11] Bilz: open System->Preferences->Monitor [15:11] I installed ubuntu-server on a 4GB usb-stick which was mounted in a thincliet, I thinclient booted the installer over the web using bootp. Now, after booting from the stick, everything works untill grub. After grub the system hangs on loading init-bottom and local-bottom. [15:11] Mors: [Don't know anything about creating ISO images. Sorry. :-(] [15:11] Anyone able to help me with my 10.10 sound problem? [15:11] so I decided to check out the init.d dir on the stick [15:12] induz [15:12] and it turns out to be a *file* : http://pastie.org/1398013 [15:12] cjdevlin, i didn't know details yet. i will use it often in the future... [15:12] thanks cdbs , didnt see that [15:12] how can this happen? [15:12] I had virtualbox and wanted to have Seven on it but I had 64 version not the 32 version of windows....maybe I will try Xp on it [15:12] System_Default_0, no, I meant does it need a base iso image (like the "pure" live cd image) or just an empty one? [15:12] Yes rs 8832 === studyurnm3 is now known as misnix [15:13] !details | cthuljew [15:13] cthuljew: 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 ..." [15:13] Mors: if you are trying to create many systems just like yours, you are probably looking for clonezilla [15:13] Mors: Needs "pure" live cd image. [15:13] induz, dict-freedict-eng-hin in the repos (synaptic) [15:13] so guys can some one help me??? seems like im going back to win7 -_- [15:13] sam-_-, :) that was the 1625th request for it [15:13] Running 10.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61. Whenever I unplug or plug in my power cord, I get a lound system beep. This never happened with 10.04. [15:14] Played with every sound setting I can think of and unchecked every box that made sense. Still happens. [15:14] bencahill what are you referring to? [15:14] cjdevlin, Actually I'm moving my ubuntu installation from an old PATA drive to a SATA that already has Win7 [15:14] catbird12: Don't make that mistake first. Second, Did you try making a fresh install? [15:14] So I need an installation usb that'll install all my packages and stuff :-) [15:15] sam-_-, the details factoid, you can see it here: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu&search=details [15:15] Mors: Yes. [15:15] cthuljew: may be related to the power saving settings on alsa [15:15] catbird12: you have yet to provide any information that can help us help you. this is turning into a jerry maguire quote fest. help us help you. what version of ubuntu are you using? what file types are you trying to play? [15:15] bencahill ah [15:15] AHAHAHAHAHAH! [15:15] !details | catbird12 [15:15] catbird12: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[15:16] An hour of hair pulling solved by two seconds in alsamixer. [15:16] bonjoyee, confused genius :) [15:16] Crazy question: are there any USB cables currently sold that could share an internet connection from a Windows XP machine to an Ubuntu machine? [15:16] Thank all [15:16] is this a good irc server to be on? silly question i know..but its been a loooong time [15:16] amadigan, no [15:16] bencahill: am i missing something? [15:16] bonjoyee: Thank you, thank you. I can now go back to watching horrible, horrible Star Trek: Voyager. [15:16] !ot | ozoneco [15:16] ozoneco: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:17] amadigan, why not use cat5? [15:17] amadigan, that is impossible, as there is a huge difference between usb host and client. PCs can usually only be host, and host and host wont connect [15:17] amadigan: why not just use a network cable? [15:17] The ubuntu machine has no network port [15:17] quit [15:17] cthuljew: what did i do? [15:17] There are plenty of host to host usb cables [15:17] amadigan: False. [15:17] bonjoyee: You suggested alsa. I looked in alsamixer. My system beep wasn't muted. [15:17] amadigan, is it a laptop? [15:17] amadigan, well, you can buy usb-network adapters and then network [15:17] Mors: clonezilla is probably going to be your best bet: http://clonezilla.org [15:17] bonjoyee, cthuljew called you a genius, and you're confused, therefore, confused genius! :-P I'm having too much fun here :) [15:17] amadigan: and there is such a cable [15:18] amadigan: You can access internet through virtual machine. [15:18] Remember when Vista came out and every tech store in the U.S. started selling "transfer cables"? [15:18] amadigan, you mean usb male-to-male? definitely don't do that, as they'd both be pushing current/voltage into the other side [15:18] bencahill: had a full night sleep...u left the room..just a few hours before!! [15:18] amadigan: yeah there are usb bridged cables. That's what you would need [15:18] amadigan, stick a nic in it [15:18] It's a netbook [15:19] amadigan: it's a special cable. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/248 [15:19] bonjoyee, no, one hour :-/ oh well, I'll live :) [15:19] Anyway, thank you world for having helpful people in general. Later. [15:19] amadigan, buy one usb-wifi and connect via this (netbook should ahve it integreated) [15:19] Can't run a wifi network here [15:19] amadigan, with no ethernet? fail? [15:19] amadigan, why not just buy an ethernet card for the pc without the port then run a ct5/6 cable to your router/modem ' [15:19] i dont understand. seems like im alone with this problem?? i bet you have solution. im not good in english, so.. im trying to tell you ---------------- i have a problem with playing AVI video. when i make it full screen there are noise and pixels! Im running ubuntu 10.10. and again - i cant explain it better [15:19] I am receiving an Internet audio stream. What command will tell me many characteristics or parameters of this audio stream? [15:20] bencahill:hmmm...i was worried i asked a different bencahill!!:) [15:20] catbird12: Private conversation. [15:20] This is at work, no router/modem, would prefer to not put in anything that would look suspicious, tons of cables on my desk already.... [15:20] catbird12, what video player? totem? [15:20] bonjoyee, nope, registered nick :) [15:20] amadigan: did you get the link I sent? [15:21] catbird12: have you tried other avi files? are they all giving you the same problem? to throw a generic solution at you, vlc is a pretty good media player. i have had the most luck with it: sudo apt-get install vlc [15:21] opening now [15:21] amadigan, yes, look at histo's link [15:21] amadigan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB#Treat_USB_as_an_Ethernet_network [15:22] histo, so this thing works in linux? [15:22] sam-_-: yeah with usbnet [15:22] histo, nice [15:22] sam-_-: check the wikipedia entry [15:22] amadigan, does the netbook have wireless? if so, you could buy a router as opposed to a cable...just sayin' [15:23] I was running a wifi network for a few days before they noticed. [15:23] No wifi here [15:24] amadigan: something tells me this isn't worth getting fired over. [15:24] The first link looks perfect, but it doesn't seem to name a device [15:24] mmm. i made an extended partition when i installed ubuntu (ubuntu is primary). within the extended partition i made a swap partition. the extended partition seems to hve shrunk to the size of the swap partition !? anyway i can resize? gparted has it all faded out, i presume I need to umount? [15:24] Connecting the machine to the network itself is not violation [15:24] It's just that it can't be wifi [15:24] I was thinking about running a web server with nfs mounted data store. Is there anything wrong with that scenario? [15:24] KM0201, if they tell you not to and you still do i wouldn't bet on it [15:25] amadigan: the other option is using a com/serial cable. I used to use that all the time back inm the day. [15:25] sam-_-: kinda what i was thinking... maybe he doesn't like working there [15:25] amadigan, you could get a usb ethernet adapter, like here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=usb+ethernet&x=0&y=0 [15:25] billy, umount swap? try sudo swapoff [15:25] amadigan, but you would need another nic in the win computer [15:26] right, i was hoping to avoid that if possible [15:26] sam-_-, worked a charm (swapoff -a) [15:27] how to register for vhost.. [15:27] out of sudden it worked [15:27] when i putty i don't seem to get the right encoding when ssh into my ubuntu vps. i don't think the locale is set. when i type locale i just see "LANG=" and no locale setting. how would i change this? [15:27] amadigan: if there's an ethernet cable available for you to plug into, why don't you just plug it into the ethernet jack on the computer?.. or am i missing something.. i thought you were trying to set up wireless, to bypass the company network [15:27] anthrax03: Please ask in #freenode [15:28] okie pici [15:28] how to enable totem-xine [15:28] amadigan, I suppose you'd need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Easy-Transfer-Cable-Windows/dp/B002PAR0AQ [15:28] bencahill: I just wonder if I can convince windows to treat that as a NIC [15:29] hello everybody, i have a problem with cups and a pdf [15:29] everytime i want to print it the printer says no (on one page) [15:29] i tested it on different pcs (both ubuntu 10.10) and different printers [15:29] aaaf: Dis you updated? === disgrntld1 is now known as disgrntld [15:29] rs8832; How can i do that???

[15:30] aaaf: Problem solved. Ubuntu 10.10 is still young, and it has a lot of bugs. [15:30] how to enable totem-xine i hv installed it but it keeps searching for gstreamer plugins [15:30] System_Default_0, so you suggest to downgrade or try to print with windows? [15:31] the page in trouble is nothing special, ist just a 3mebs vector graphic [15:31] aaaf: I prefeer, print with Windows. Easier, than downgrade. [15:31] satish: enable it for what? [15:31] playing movies [15:31] I'll give it a try [15:31] it doesnt use xine [15:31] satish: like DVDs? or files [15:31] join #ubuntu-ru [15:31] sima /join #ubuntu-ru [15:32] i want it to use xine backend [15:32] I know. [15:32] aaaf: did you try a different pdf? I have no problems printing them here. [15:32] histo, yes and also all other pages in the same pdf print without any trouble [15:32] satish: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [15:32] it's just one page which doesn't work at all [15:32] one printer has a silent failure (does nothing) the other crashes and restarts [15:33] (at least it looks so from the cups perspective) [15:33] printer disapperars and reapperars [15:33] the printers are connected via usb if that matters === zz_dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar [15:34] aaaf: so other pdf's work? i'm confused [15:34] I am receiving an Internet audio stream. What command will tell me many characteristics or parameters of this audio stream? [15:34] histo, yes other pdfs work [15:35] aaaf: then maybe the problem is with that pdf [15:35] histo, and if i say ,,print page 1-7'' it works [15:35] histo, but not page 8 :-( [15:35] but xpdf diesplays the pdf :-( [15:35] bullgard: what are you playing it with? [15:37] histo: I can tell you. But the answer to my question is independent of the answer to your question. [15:37] aaaf, have you tried acroread as a pdf app ? [15:38] BlueKaj, no but evince has no trouble dispalying, too [15:38] histo: The receiving program is Firefox.

[15:45] I've uploaded the trouble causing page to http://195.34.172.254/trouble.pdf if anybody wants to take a look [15:45] ePirat, probably because some other program is using the port [15:46] sam-_-: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use) [15:46] vanduc, [15:46] rs0832: yes, apache, but i stoped it [15:46] vanduc, chim [15:46] vanduc, cho [15:46] I got the dictionary but I want English to hindi working dictionary [15:46] vanduc, cu [15:46] huyhoangcs, asdfasdf [15:46] rs0832: never apologize for helping :) [15:46] vanduc, duc duc [15:46] ePirat, hmm.. probably something is still running if nginx still says so [15:47] chim [15:47] application---Office--dictionarty...but I dont get Eng to hindi [15:47] IdleOne, :) thanks [15:47] rs0832: it isnt...

Therefore I suppose the problem happens after the GRUB boots. [16:51] jeward: I run 64bit on my 64bit capable pc's. But that's my preference. I'd like to get the most out of my hardware. [16:51] Bencahill not sure... you may want to look at getting flash memory. The only thing I could think of is to kill all non-essential processes [16:51] kwtm, ubottu is not a person :) [16:51] Oh I can Type in Hindi or English [16:51] anon33_, ya they dont do that by defualt anymore [16:51] rk: Did you customize the apperance?

I didn't have high hopes of any human responding to me any time soon.

The only other option would be getting newer HDD or using flash memory [16:59] kwtm, sure [16:59] please i need help with lucid system, xorg usage 80% CPU = 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [16:59] !patience | kwtm [16:59] kwtm: 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/ [17:00] It's bad enough chrome and firefox suck up memory, now there is a gnome indicator doing it too! [17:00] spencer, well do you have any ideas regarding the solution I was talking about above, using a usb drive? [17:00] slipttees, did you try to log out and in again? [17:00] MrHacks: my advice - if you want to conserve ram for other apps; don't use gnome [17:00] rk: The only thing I can suggest is to try other system themes or change how firefox handles it;s own interface. Maybe something is out of date with it.. [17:00] sam-_-: yeah [17:00] If I manage to boot the lubuntu live cd, will openning the terminal allow me to repair the grub of my broken installation ? [17:01] hello :> i'm trying to use the netbook edition of ubuntu on an acer aspire one (the original 8.9" model)...recording audio from it (i.e. in things like skype or amsn video conferencing) the audio recorded from the built-in microphone is extremely choppy and distorted :< is there any way i might be able to fix it? [17:01] !grub | LunaVorax [17:01] LunaVorax: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:01] LunaVorax: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [17:01] slipttees, so right after login x uses 80%cpu? [17:01] prower: Try to mute one of the channels with pavucontrol [17:01] nope, use 5min and usage up 80%, system very slow [17:02] bencahill not really, an option could be using a HDD mount on another machine [17:02] spencer, could I do that over wireless? [17:02] sam-_-: dell latitude E6410, 2.6.32-27-generic [17:02] Dcite: Okay...so just mute the microphone then? Done :> [17:02] prower: Mute just one of the microphone channels and try again? [17:02] spencer, ...I had thought about that, but didn't think it would work with wireless... [17:03] bencahill maybe, it depends on your setup [17:03] slipttees: are you running compiz? [17:03] aeon-ltd I use chrome. I switched to chrome b/c unity sucks [17:03] prower: That's what worked for me Aspire One A110L [17:03] itaylor57: nope, disabled [17:03] spencer, so basically something on hdd boots, which then loads main os from network? [17:03] prower, is it choppy when you try to record parecord --file-format -r asdf then ctl+c then paplay asdf [17:03] Sorry to say it, but unity had the same issues with memory [17:03] spencer, can grub do that? [17:04] bencahill it might, I'm not very knowledgable on alternative boots or really anything of the sort [17:05] Incidental question: now I discover that Ctrl-Alt-Fx may long have been malfunctioning. Just goes black screen now, though it's not managed to sabotage Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to desktop session. What to do? [17:05] Hey all. Can anyone suggest a nice video card that is compatible with 10.04+. I have a GIGABYTE GV-R555D3-1GI that wouldn't work (not sure why). It has fried and I need a replacement that will work with the newer versions [17:05] is it better to install jack or jack 2 ? [17:05] sam-_-: itaylor57 i'll try new kernel by ppa 2.6.37-10 [17:05] Dcite: Ahh, okay so mute one channel and leave the other one...yep, that's done, I'll try sound recorder or something like that [17:05] slipttees, it's probably some program. not x itself that makes it go wild [17:05] sam-_-: i'm not sure, i can check though :> [17:05] rjgoldsborough, don't you think there's rather a huge load of baggage in notions of "nice" video cards? [17:06] humm... sam-_- maybe kernel module bug? [17:06] slipttees: good luck [17:06] adminewb ctrl alt f1 goes to CLI. perhaps the one that you hit made it lock or shut down, but not kill power [17:06] i915 driver [17:06] How can I change the applet indicator mail reader to thunderbird ? [17:06] thx bro itaylor57 [17:06] slipttees, possible but unlikely [17:06] hello [17:06] sam-_-, yes, trying that quickly it seems to be pretty choppy still [17:07] * Fargeee http://imagetwist.com/e1ubou2tvag6/156897_168406319867731_100000950924332_325446_5758311_n_1_.jpg.html [17:07] sam-_-: to install here, needed use "nomodeset xforcevesa" [17:07] or blank screen [17:07] any1 here can help me with a problem that concerns intsalling ubuntu ?

[17:08] long enough [17:08] rjgoldsborough: np [17:08] 1st i thought was my lcd ... i added a 2nd diplay [17:08] spencer thanks for response; I know what is meant to happen with Ctrl-Alt-F1 - F6, it just isn't happening: get black screen rather than character mode terminal. Ctrl-Alt-F7 works though. [17:08] slipttees, since your hardware is pretty new you might want to do-release-upgrade [17:09] alabala a few things, 1 can you type the name of whoever you're responding to in front of your response. Are you sure your BIOS is set to boot from a CD? [17:09] adminewb, have you tried to change your Plymouth resolution on a system using proprietary drivers? [17:09] !details | alabala [17:09] alabala: 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 ..." [17:09] what is the leter to get you out of X server screen to the other none graphic screen? [17:09] sacarlson: ctrl + alt + f1 [17:10] sacarlson, to quit Xorg you can use alt+sysrq+k [17:10] rjgoldsborough, I recommend visiting tomshardware.com to see what they say about how various display adapters would suit you. Best of luck getting working drivers for linux. [17:10] milamber: is there a way to also get back in with another thanks by the way [17:10] hi [17:10] sacarlson: ctrl + alt + f7 [17:10] spencer: it`s all ok ... at start i see the unbuntu logo .. i see some dots ... a colored backgroud .. dots movin` ... then on my lcd i get the message no signal .. and stays like that [17:10] there is a way to crypt a folder from nautilus? [17:10] hi coregrl, how can we help you? [17:10] sacarlson, might by c+a+f8 [17:11] ZykoticK9: no just to temp leave and come back but I'll keep that too [17:11] sshe connection times out when trying to connect computer 1 or 3 to computer 2. computer 2 can ssh to 1 and 3 just fine and computers 1 and 3 can connect as well [17:11] ZykoticK9 don't understand what's Plymouth resolution? I'm using standard open drivers afaik. [17:11] alabala, so on your only screen you see that the computer isn't sending any input. Is the computer still on? does the HDD rev up or down? [17:12] adminewb: thanks. it worked in 9.10 and lower. But I couldn't get to the install screen with 10.04+ [17:12] ggreene: are you sure ssh-server is running on computer 2? [17:12] spencer: the dvd rom sounds like ... it`s spinning .. but after a while stops spinning [17:13] milamber i believe it is what do i need to type to verify [17:13] alabala does the screen flicker and then shut off, like there's an error message? also, how much time do you give it? [17:13] adminewb, ok - was just checking (i ran into an issue a long time ago playing with Plymouth resolution on nvidia that broke all the virtual terminals, black screen like yours) but if you are using open drivers - then it is a different issue for sure. Best of luck. [17:13] milamber, grrr i really dont want to do that [17:13] ggreene: is computer 2 yours? [17:13] yes all 3 are [17:13] spencer: no errors on screen, no flickering ... just like there`s no video imout .. i w8ted around 5 mins [17:14] grendal_prime: i would really recommend updating the distro. eol means no more security updates. [17:14] spencer: meanwhile there`s no signal on display the dvd still spins [17:14] milamber, yes all three are mine [17:14] how to remove a keyboard layout? (i tried in the keyboard settings, as root to delete it, and in gconf-editor - but after login, the keyboard layout is back) Where is the global setting stored? [17:14] ggreene: do you have physical access to computer2 now? [17:14] milamber, yes [17:14] milamber, yes i'm on it [17:15] ggreene: ps -aux will show all processes running [17:15] ya its locked into a vm enviro so im not worreied about that. [17:15] I cannot install VMWare 7.1.3 on my Kubuntu Natty. When I install it process sudenly crashes and VMWare uninstall itself back. Help! [17:15] milamber, ggreene the command is "ps aux" the "ps -aux" will show an error at the top [17:16] alabala hmm... I'm thinking [17:16] safinaskar: natty is not even in beta state; what did you expect to happen? [17:16] could someone retitle bug 441653 and/or fix it? ;) [17:16] ZykoticK9: mb [17:16] alabala mind if I PM?

[17:18] ZykoticK9: I did the same ;) For what I know in the past it was correct to use -aux [17:18] milamber, i see about 5 lines with ssh in it [17:18] and i wanted to build some scripts to monitor a spicific thing on this box and react accordingly, i know how to build them quickly in php. [17:18] sam-_-, yes I know but I want to crypt the folder diretly [17:18] ok. the simplest way to tell is: nmap localhost [17:18] safinaskar: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_To_Migrate_From_Vmware_To_KVM :P [17:19] bye [17:19] how can I check that my drivers for graphics are installed properly?

[17:21] hey can any one tell me how to use recordit now [17:21] but why is it doing that [17:21] billy: i think w/ ATI.. you need to see if FGLRX is insalled, but i have no idea how to do that.

I place my next question in the form of a pastebin [17:43] area* [17:43] erUSUL: and I'm trying to trace down possible problems. [17:43] anyone know…? [17:43] BareGraceMisery, connected to the same network? [17:43] yeah , exactly bencahill [17:43] ok my ssh timed out [17:43] BareGraceMisery: if possible, try pinging the computer..if wake on lan is supported ..it should wake up the beast! [17:44] so either it is not what I called it, or [17:44] BareGraceMisery, then yes, find an app that scans for ip addresses [17:44] BareGraceMisery, so you cannot ping ubuntu? [17:44] no connectivity via ssh. 3 computers computer #2 will connect out but not in. computers 1 and 3 will connect out and in but not to computer 2. ssh is on port 22 and it is open on computer 2. [17:44] kijutsu: as i said ntfs is implenmeted in userspace via fuse so it is slower. hfs+ is in kernel but it is not wiell mantained ( few use it or are interested in it ) [17:44] ZykoticK9, this patch applies to /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/${mod}.tar, but vmware is not installed, so I have not /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/${mod}.tar in my system, so I cannot apply patch [17:44] BareGraceMisery, is that what you called it? (ubuntu) [17:44] aye [17:44] erUSUL: so that is most likely my culprit..? dumping all that data onto a normal linux parttion could speed up the process? [17:45] bencahill: BareGraceMisery ping the broadcast address of your network, i.e. 192.168.1.255 That will hit everything on the lan. [17:45] hold on I think dropbox knows what its name is [17:45] ggreene: sorry, so you got in through the local machine? [17:45] actually, come to think of it, I think it was PC_ubuntu [17:45] greezmunkey, oh right, forgot about that (silly me) :) [17:45] milamber, yes it looks like a splash screen [17:45] BareGraceMisery, ok, can you ping that? [17:46] sorry guys, I'm such a n00b [17:46] kijutsu: well; you can make a benchmark with a subset... say 50 GiB or 100 GiB of files. benchmark the fs's in that particular workload [17:46] im using virt-manager for manage the kvm server from my desktop [17:46] lol [17:46] is there other manager than this? [17:46] ggreene: are you doing x forwarding? it should just be a text login? [17:47] kijutsu: could be many other things... different diks ( one slower than the other ). Excesive fragmentation of fs? maybe you are using usb 2 to access the disks ? [17:47] BareGraceMisery: we all are!...atleast at things we don't know! [17:47] milamber, i entered the ssh localhost into terminal and got a text response that looks simular to a splash screen and then it returned to command line [17:47] I need help with enabling sound on my x-fi card on maverick [17:47] scarlson: Defaults:pabst !env_reset [17:47] erUSUL: oddly yes. The USB is actually faster than the internal disk. (NTFS on USB, HFS+ on internal SATA controller) [17:47] milamber, Linux gdesktop 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 1 23:52:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [17:47] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [17:47] Welcome to Ubuntu!

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:47] hmmm… [17:48] this is case-sensitive? [17:48] there is a feature in ubuntu jaunty for wireless broadband setting that allows me to use my usb modem. no other distribution has this setting. how do i transfer it over to another distribution? [17:48] something is wrong with my gnome installation, it wont autostart my startup applications, and when i go to log in "gnome" is not in my session options. when i try to install gnome, i get an error: "Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed" how do i fix that? [17:48] BareGraceMisery, I don't believe it is case-sensitive [17:49] bfri: the source must be availible can't be too hard to port if it's linux [17:49] ggreene: that is what you are supposed to get. the context is: ssh ipaddressofmachine2 -l useronmachine2 [17:49] BareGraceMisery, just try pinging the broadcast address, as greezmunkey suggested [17:49] ggreene: to log in from another comp === dhruvasagar is now known as zz_dhruvasagar [17:49] * bluefox83 facepalms [17:50] does anyone know how to fix that problem? [17:50] bencahill: well "ping PC_Ubuntu" is telling me "unknown host" [17:50] bfri: it must be network-manger [17:50] bencahill: hostname in caps? is that possible? [17:50] I'm sure I got the name right this time [17:50] bluefox83, if you want to install gnome use the package gnome-desktop-environment. The "gnome" backage is from Debian and is quasi-broken on Ubuntu. If you want the full Ubuntu version of gnome use "ubuntu-desktop" [17:50] BareGraceMisery, what is your ip address and subnet mask? [17:50] what a lame name… I should rename it [17:50] ummmm... [17:50] ZykoticK9: i'm pretty sure those are already installed... === zz_dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar [17:50] sacarlson: so what does that mean i need to do? [17:51] bencahill: ubuntu did not allow me the last time i tried! [17:51] bonjoyee, I don't think it matters, i.e. it's not case-sensitive [17:51] ok [17:51] I have an x-fi soundcard but ubuntu 10.10 doesn't recognise it, although I read that the driver should be included in alsa 1.0.21 [17:51] bfri: look for network-manager I think the source that is even newer is available, google it [17:51] ZykoticK9: i'm installing gnome-desktop-environment just to try and see if it fixes the problem... [17:51] bencahill: youre right..ping is not cs! [17:51] ZykoticK9: thanks for the suggestion [17:52] bfri: you do know how to compile don't you? [17:52] bonjoyee, heh, so I do know something! :) [17:52] bencahill: I thought you could get that by /whois ? [17:52] hi [17:52] MaT-dg: try « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$(lsb_release -sc)-generic » and reboot [17:52] with a little help yes [17:52] milamber, when i enter that from computer 3 trying to get into computer 2 it says the connection timed out [17:52] BareGraceMisery, not familiar with a mac and how it works, but I would try ifconfig [17:52] sacarlson: with a little help yes [17:52] bencahill: pulling a leg?;) [17:53] bfri: there is tons of help, you can get it direct from the developers if you have a problem === Hiz is now known as Guest70568 [17:53] bonjoyee, actually not http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=mac+terminal+ifconfig&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [17:53] ggreene: check your router and make sure computer 2 has all the permissions it needs [17:53] bonjoyee, :) [17:53] bencahill: tried ifconfig, what is it telling me? [17:54] Hi! How do I make Ubuntu not preserve so many backup kernels when there is a kernel update? Right now I have 2.6.32-19 to 2.6.32-25, each about 80MB; how do I keep only the most recent three (say) kernels? My root partition is full and I'm trying to make some more space. [17:54] bencahill: no...i meant u saying to me : bonjoyee, heh, so I do know something! :) [17:54] hi, i have some small networking application that i want to run on top of very small and simple os, the application is 64bits, any of you familier with simple 64bits os that give very very simple infestracture to run just 1 application inside the kernel address space [17:54] Also, is it safe to just manually delete one if I want to continue to preserve 6 backup kernels? [17:54] ? [17:54] is it possible to set up redirect from one permalink to another directly in the DNS record? eg. from /foo/bar to /foo/baz [17:54] BareGraceMisery, what do inet and netmask say? [17:54] kwtm: I think you can purge them in synaptic or apt-get [17:54] kwtm: make sure you have the package "linux-image" installed; then remove thee kernels you do not use [17:55] milamber, I have a ubuntu router what settings in iptables am i needing to be sure are present [17:55] hi. can someone please tell me what this means: http://pastie.org/1398449 i can open facebook just fine [17:55] help [17:55] erUSUL: thx, going to try [17:55] error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)' [17:55] sacarlson: Oh, are there specific packages that I can then remove/autoremove? Thanks for the info. [17:55] bonjoyee, no, I must have missed it :-/ [17:55] i m not going anywhere [17:55] satyam: did you check in #mysql as I advised? [17:55] darthdeus: when you say DNS record ... do you mean /foo/bar is a URL? Or a file pathname? [17:56] kwtm: not auto but yes you search for all you linux- that are installed and in synaptic select purge to delete the entire package [17:56] i tried but i m unable to connect to the channel how do i do it [17:56] erUSUL: when you say remove, do you mean with apt-get as sacarlson suggested, or just sudo rm -rf? [17:56] bencahill: inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 [17:56] and I pm'ed you cuz there is too much going on in here [17:57] kwtm: with apt or synaptic [17:57] satyam: is mysql running? check ps -A |grep mysql [17:57] !register | satyam you need to register.

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [17:57] kwtm, it's in the URL. I'm migrating app from one system to another which uses different permalinks, and I can't setup redirect directly in the application or web server [17:58] kwtm, I don't need any pattern matching, I just need to make one specific url to redirect to another one on the same domain [17:58] <_pg_> can someone help me ssh? im getting operation timed out and the server has port 22 open [17:58] _pg_: from lan or internet? [17:59] anyone know about ltsp? [17:59] or dhcp [17:59] ggreene: i'm not too familiar w/ iptables . . . i thought that was a linux based firewall. can you nmap computer2 from computer1 or 3? [17:59] darthdeus: I think what you are saying is, when the web server looks for /foo/bar, you want it to go to /foo/baz instead. So if (say) the web server is running on a Linux OS, you'd set up a link (symbolic or hard) and then the web server wouldn't know the difference, no? === seb__ is now known as seb_93 [17:59] <_pg_> sacarlson: internet [17:59] _pg_: firewall? [18:00] would dnsmasq interfere with dhcp3? [18:00] _pg_: Do you get anything when you use the "-v" option? I know a bit about ssh (got my home network set up that way) [18:00] <_pg_> bonjoyee: isnt ssh to cinrcumvent my (remote) firewall? [18:00] milamber, iptables is a firewall but you manually configure the file with code to allow or deny actions. [18:00] <_pg_> kwtm: no [18:00] kwtm, yes but I can't access the web server, I only have control over the DNS record ... the application is provided hosted solution which I can't access [18:00] milamber, so just nmap "ipaddress of computer 2?" [18:01] _pg_: do you have your router setup to forward all port 22 trafic to the server on that network? [18:01] <_pg_> yes [18:01] ggreene: yes. [18:01] _pg_: how? [18:01] <_pg_> port map 22 local ip to the machine i want [18:01] erUSUL: did what you said.. but no succes [18:01] baaw I guess I should just restart it... [18:01] :( [18:01] MaT-dg: :/ [18:01] ZykoticK9: installing gnome-desktop-environment did nothing to add gnome to my "session" menu at the login screen :( [18:01] all i get is "ubuntu desktop edition" [18:02] _pg_: if theres a firewall between your pc and router(iptables)..it'll block port 22 [18:02] _pg_: ok and netstat -pant ? do we see port 22 listen? [18:02] bluefox83: that is the gnome desktop here. [18:02] bluefox83, "ubuntu desktop edition" should be gnome! [18:02] <_pg_> the server has port 22 open. im connecting from work. [18:02] Dr_Willis: well, i'm trying to follow a tutorial on how to make my "startup applications" actually start up [18:02] <_pg_> sacarlson: i dont know what that means [18:03] it wont start up several of the things i listed, even though i can manually start them [18:03] _pg_: maybe you need to configure the router to forward port 22 to your server? [18:03] bluefox83: I dont know why you need a tutorial. I start them via the sessions manager tools. or the Autostart directory [18:03] _pg_: ok so your work has a filter on port 22? [18:03] darthdeus: There is a way ... let me try to recall... [18:03] milamber, says hot is down [18:03] Dr_Willis: they are located in both of those, and it still does not work D: [18:03] <_pg_> sacarlson: apparently. but i thought ssh was meant to bypass routers. isnt that the point? [18:03] milamber, says host is down [18:03] _pg_: if its a timeout..it has to do something with the firewall/port forwarding [18:03] _pg_: no it can't bypass filters on port 22 [18:04] sacarlson: what do i need to compile? [18:04] bluefox83: make one script that starts them all perhaps, perhaps via running 'xterm -e "command to run"' so you can see any messages. [18:04] ggreene: iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT ~~~~> run that on computer2 [18:04] <_pg_> isnt ssh used to bypass firewalls? [18:04] _pg_: if you know a port that works you can change it to that but my guess at work it only allows connections out and established links [18:04] Dr_Willis: shouldn't i have something in system>preferences called Sessions? === dhruvasagar is now known as zz_dhruvasagar [18:04] no siemasz [18:04] _pg_: of course not! [18:05] <_pg_> ok, port 22 is open on 127.0.0.1 [18:05] because i don't >.> [18:05] bluefox83: it called 'startup applications' here [18:05] _pg_: no; ssh is a Secure SHell [18:05] _pg_: Ssh allows you to have a secure connection if the firewall lets you, on (for example) port 22. Once you have that connection, any other connection (say port 80) can be connected through the firewall even if it's blocked, because you can forward it through port 22 instead. [18:05] _pg_: so you could setup a vpn to your home to bypass the filter [18:05] _pg_: it has to listen on the wan interface [18:05] bluefox83: im usiong ubuntu 10.10 here. Not sure what you are using. [18:05] Dr_Willis: well my startup applications list is useless because it wont actually start anything in the dang list D: [18:05] Dr_Willis: 10.10 [18:06] hi, i downloaded pkr from their website, it downloaded fine in the wine windwows program loader, but after i look in my downloads folder and its not there, where do i find it? [18:06] bluefox83: you installed the normal ubuntu desktop edition? [18:06] <_pg_> ok, port 22 is open on 127.0.0.1 so does that mean thats not the problem? [18:06] milamber, i entered it on computer 2 when i nmap computer 2 fro # it still says its down [18:06] ZykoticK9: installing gnome-desktop-environment did nothing to add gnome to my "session" menu at the login screen :(yep [18:06] oops [18:06] that was odd === zz_dhruvasagar is now known as dhruvasagar [18:06] _pg_: But you have to have the ssh connection first. So if you have port 22 blocked by the firewall, you would have to find another port (say Port 20022) instead. If you have NO ports that the firewall allows, then you can't use ssh at all. [18:06] How could I save my logs into a text file using mIRC? Thanks [18:06] guys how to connect my Samsung vibrant to Ubuntu? [18:06] bfri: you wanted network-manager on another distro. so that's what you could compile, but they may already have it compiled if you checked on that destro [18:06] _pg_: 127.0.0.1 is for local connections...to get connected from internet..ssh has to listen on a wan interface [18:06] yes, i installed the 64 edition of ubuntu desktop [18:07] bear_1125: read the mirc docs. it has logging features. [18:07] <_pg_> kwtm: port 22 is open locally [18:07] *x64 [18:07] bluefox83: then you shouldnt have to be installing anything. The sessions thing works here for the 2 or 3 items i have it running.. what are you trying to autostart? [18:07] _pg_: you can also change the listen port on ssh to port 80 if your work has that open [18:07] Dr_Willis: fusion-icon and emerald [18:07] _pg_: Which two computers are you trying to connect? One home computer to another directly, or via a router? Or from a computer outside the home via the internet? [18:07] <_pg_> sacarlson: my work has 22 open. scanning 127.0.0.1 tells me that right? [18:07] _pg_: localy is not the same as wan [18:08] <_pg_> sacarlson: ah [18:08] ggreene: you have to restart iptables: service iptables restart [18:08] anyone help? [18:08] bluefox83: just doing a 'emerald --replace' should set emerald as the default from then on. [18:08] <_pg_> kwtm: laptop at work ssh into server at home [18:08] Dr_Willis: well it doesn't [18:08] bluefox83: even after logging in/out [18:08] _pg_: Ah, you are trying to connect to your home computer through your work, is that right? Okay. [18:08] bluefox83: you got deeper issues then. [18:08] bluefox83: you do realize that emerald is basically a dead project? [18:08] Dr_Willis: i figured, i'm trying to find out what those might be [18:08] Dr_Willis: what's replacing it? [18:09] <_pg_> kwtm: yes [18:09] _pg_: Okay, is your home server connected to the Internet via a router? If so, then you would need to make sure the router is not firewalling port 22 (most do by default) and then your home server is not firewalling. [18:09] bluefox83: nothing.. its basically dead. [18:09] Dr_Willis: well i'm not sticking to metacity, it's hideous [18:10] _pg_: Do you know your IP address? I can try getting to your IP to see if port 22 is open (with your permission, of course). [18:10] bluefox83: you do realize that emerald is a window-decorator, not a window manager like metacity, or compiz right? [18:10] <_pg_> kwtm: port 22 is open at home and im using dyndns [18:10] Dr_Willis: yeah i'm pairing it with compiz [18:10] <_pg_> kwtm: i already know port 22 is open [18:10] _pg_: does your home ISP block port 22? many do. [18:11] _pg_: Please go to http://WhatIsMyIP.com and tell me your IP address (four numbers). Don't give your DynDNS address yet. (Once you give it out, you can't take it back.) [18:11] is anyone familiar with FireFly/mt-daapd? [18:11] bluefox83: i normally just start apps like 'fusion-icon' then use the gnome sessions tool to save the current session. thats about all ive ever needed to do. [18:11] eneph: i am somewhat. [18:11] <_pg_> kwtm: that will give you my work ip [18:11] bluefox83: test it with a newly made user. it could be some file permissions not saveing the settings. [18:11] <_pg_> mneptok: how can I check? [18:11] Dr_Willis: sadly that does not work for me :( [18:11] can anyone tell me if dnsmasq could interfere with dhcp3 [18:11] Dr_Willis: i checked file permissions, no dice [18:11] _pg_: Okay, I trust you when you say port 22 is open. Oh, you are at work right now! I see. Okay, pm me your DynDNS URL. [18:11] _pg_: ssh -vvvvv user@host [18:11] _pg_: where does the connection die? [18:11] joeoshawa: both can act as dhcp servers so it may [18:12] bluefox83: test with a newly made user is about all i can suggest. [18:12] mneptok: Good idea. [18:12] _pg_: that's the local machine, you need to go through a firewall when from wan (internet) [18:12] so can i uninstall dnsmasq and not mess up my system [18:12] mneptok: I've got my music server hooked up to my stereo, I'd like to be able to play songs from my itunes playlist on my laptop but have it stream to the music server and play on the stereo, any idea how to do this? [18:12] _pg_: any chance you ip back home changed?..and do you have an auto ip update client installed back home [18:12] ggreene: you restart iptables? [18:12] i am trying to run a thin client off my main ubuntu machine [18:12] milamber, how long should it take for nmap to complete? [18:12] sacarlson: Well, right now it's hard to tell _pg_'s level of expertise. On the one hand, it could be that he's unaware of the router setup; but then he's on DynDNS which takes some level of expertise, so he could be referring to the home router when he says "port 22 is open at home"... [18:12] <_pg_> bonjoyee: no client yet but ip hasnt changed. I can still vnc into it [18:12] _pg_: it also passes through a nat if my guess is correct, even if it was open you would still need a vpn to find a path [18:13] ggreene: less than a secone [18:13] bonjoyee: _pg_uses DynDNS. Maybe it's configured wrong? [18:13] second* [18:13] <_pg_> kwtm: running port scan from home says port 22 is open [18:13] and i had a professional help me and it should work [18:13] but it doesn't [18:13] eneph: mtdaapd is the same protocol as iTunes sharing. it will allow you to play music on remote machines on the machine you are using. [18:13] _pg_: Why are you running port scan from home? You should be running port scan from work (or elsewhere). [18:13] kwtm: I'm sure he is from the ip he gave is just localhost address [18:13] <_pg_> kwtm: i will try that [18:13] milamber, i did but still nothing my router is computer 3 so i tried the command on it and it says a host is up but is taking 2 min to scan [18:13] q [18:14] so i think dhcp will not start because of dnsmasq [18:14] eneph: what you want is for a remote machine to play music selected on the machine you are using. you want MPD, not DAAP. [18:14] Dr_Willis: no dice, same problem [18:14] _pg_: Running port scan from home means you can connect to your home server from home --not very useful, is it? [18:14] mneptok: presumably there is some way to set the 'output source' in iTunes that I haven't yet found? [18:14] <_pg_> kwtm: open and accepting connections [18:14] _pg_: What exactly do you do at work when you try to connect to your home server from work? What addres? [18:14] mneptok: aah, ok I'll look into that. is that compatible with iTunes? [18:14] bluefox83: another way to test stuff out. stop gdm 'sudo service gdm stop' login at console try 'startx' then check the alt-ctrl-f1 (or whatever #) consoles for error messages/informational messages [18:14] _pg_: if u can vnc...then please login back home..and check if 22 is open? [18:14] <_pg_> kwtm: ssh user@XXX.dyndns.org [18:15] eneph: no idea if iTunes has MPC (client) functionality to connect to MPD (daemon) servers [18:15] <_pg_> bonjoyee: it is. locally and remotely [18:15] mneptok: k thx [18:15] apple using a standar protocol? [18:15] channel ubuntu russian? [18:15] _pg_: Okay. You can tell me what the exact DNS address is (in prvt msg) or you can try mneptok's suggestion: do "ssh -vvvv user@XXX.dyndns.org" and then tell us where the connection dies. Maybe paste it in pastebin. [18:15] _pg_: am i bothering u too much with my suggestions/questions? [18:16] milamber, it finished scanning says 1 is up but is still timing out [18:16] <_pg_> it dies at operation time out [18:16] <_pg_> bonjoyee: no not at all, ust replying to many ppls [18:16] !ru | silim [18:16] silim: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:16] _pg_: We need more details from that. We know the operation times out, but *what* operation? What was it doing before? Has it handshaken yet? Authenticated? Etc. Pastebin the output. [18:16] milamber, it did say all 1000 ports scanned on computer 2 are filtered [18:16] ggreene: it seems like a router/config problem now. you have to determine what your router is allowing. you also have to see if your isp is blocking anything on individual computers. the conversation with _pg_ is also relevant to you. [18:16] спс [18:17] silim: Hey, I know you said "spasiba". Wow, amazing that I still remember. :) [18:17] <_pg_> kwtm: connecting to..... and then timeout. thats the debug output I get with -v [18:18] which program is better for C Anjuta or Eclipse ? [18:18] !best | milen8204 [18:18] milen8204: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:18] _pg_: Oh, I see! You don't want to paste because it will give away the address. Okay, I'll bet you Port 22 is NOT open. Even if you say it's open from home. It's not open from the Internet (WAN). [18:18] _pg_: Is your computer connected directly to your cable modem? Is there any other computer also connected to your cable modem? (at home) [18:18] _pg_: Or does it go through a router? [18:18] _pg_: try this : dig XXX.dyndns.org and then try ssh [18:19] milen8204: anjuta is written itself in C so it will be lighter... [18:19] <_pg_> using dyndns open port tool from work i get : 22 is open and accepting connections. This indicates the port is not being blocked by either a firewall or your ISP and is currently operational. [18:19] _pg_: Ah, so you were using DynDNS to check the port. Okay. So you are indeed checking from outside the home.... [18:20] <_pg_> kwtm: yezzir [18:20] _pg_: Another possibility: you are connecting through the router (many cable modems have routers built in) and the router is not forwarding the connection to your home server. [18:20] <_pg_> kwtm: it is. I set it up to forward 22 TCP traffic to .201. [18:20] _pg_: at work your on lan the router allows that conenction, it filters trafic or redirects it to a central server from wan [18:20] <_pg_> kwtm: .201 is my server [18:20] Thanks all [18:20] did Dr_willis leave? [18:20] <_pg_> sacarlson: come again? [18:20] nevermind, i see that he did >.> [18:20] _pg_: are you at work now? [18:21] <_pg_> sacarlson: yes [18:21] milamber, i got it i disabled my firestarter on computer 2 and now it allows it to connect. [18:21] _pg_: Looks like you've got it covered. But do you have a router built in to your cable modem? (Ie. you have two routers, without realizing it.) [18:21] ok check your address it will be 192.X.X.X or 10.X.XX [18:21] shizmonkeys :( i can't see any problems other than it's just not starting things up like it's supposed to be! [18:21] _pg_: do you know how to check your local ip address? [18:21] <_pg_> kwtm: no. modem, and router. other services on other ports work fine. bittorrent, vnc etc [18:21] <_pg_> sacarlson: yes. at work or at home? [18:22] _pg_: you said you are now at work [18:22] ggreene: glad to hear it. what is firestarter? [18:22] <_pg_> sacarlson: yes sorry im talking to many ppls [18:22] bonjoyee: Hey, is there a program _pg_ can set up at home to listen to Port 22 (replacing sshd) which can just output whatever it hears, to see if computers on the WAN are getting through? [18:22] <_pg_> 10.0.1.12 [18:22] <_pg_> is local ip [18:22] _pg_: yes that's a local addres it will be nat [18:22] <_pg_> whoops [18:22] <_pg_> 10.1.10.12 [18:23] <_pg_> thats my local ip at work [18:23] can any one tell me how to play you tube videos in movie player [18:23] <_pg_> kwtm: new debug-ssh connect needpriv 0 [18:23] _pg_: so to get in from wan it would require a router to forward all port 22 trafic to that address [18:23] kwtm: _pg_ can vnc into his home..so tell him to check /var/log/auth! [18:23] _pg_: Interesting that other services work fine, but I believe all of those are initiated from home, not from the WAN (internet), right? Ie. you make an outgoing connection, and that works; but we don't know yet whether incoming connections... [18:23] <_pg_> kwtm: vnc from internet works fine on 5900 [18:23] _pg_: Oh, you are able to VNC into your home? From work? Sorry, missed that part. [18:24] what config file do I need to edit to allow any user to add new wired connections in networkmanager? [18:24] its telling could not open location [18:24] how can I set ajaxterm to open in a logged ssh session? [18:24] <_pg_> sacarlson: home router forwards port 22 to the server. [18:24] _pg_: Kwtm: he has access out and established connection only from his work local lan location [18:24] milamber, firestarter is another form of firewall. i have computer 2 connecter to computer 3 (computer 3 is my router with iptables on it) and i had computer 2 running with firestarter on it. [18:24] _pg_: vnc, bittorent work on ports higher than 1056...which are not checked by default by most routers! [18:24] what is firestarter? [18:25] <_pg_> bonjoyee: what do you mean "not checked? [18:25] Failican: a gui firewall [18:25] k [18:25] _pg_: ya you can setup you home router to do that if you know how to do it but maybe you don't know the admin of your work network [18:25] bonjoyee: If ports higher than 1024 are the issue, can _pg_ tell sshd to listen on port 2222 and try to get in? (For all we know, it might be Comcast blocking ports <1024) [18:25] <_pg_> sacarlson: i dont understand [18:25] can any one tell me how to play you tube videos in movie player [18:26] #!/bin/bash [18:26] xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -nf -b -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -root -window-id WID [18:26] <_pg_> comcast is home server isp [18:26] beasty [18:26] <_pg_> but dyndns.org port check says 22 is open [18:26] I have a little problem, when I open any program or window they maximize on auto, how do I change that? [18:26] kwtm: yeah, it's not hard to do...change a config file :) [18:26] _pg_: Some routers automatically block any incoming connections to ports 1024 or less, because those are all the important ports. User programs use ports greater than 1024, usually. [18:26] _pg_: there is a solution just setup a vpn connection from work to home, assuming you do know how to setup your router to accept port forwarding [18:26] can any one tell me how to play you tube videos in movie player === waffel is now known as waffel_ [18:27] <_pg_> kwtm: sacarlson port 22 at home is OPEN and WORKING from port check over internet from work. [18:27] can any one tell me how to play you tube videos in movie player [18:27] can any one tell me how to play you tube videos in movie player [18:27] my old isp used to block port 22 so i changed it to listen on 2020 :) [18:27] _pg_: dyndns could be seeing port 22 open on your router..not necessarily on your server? [18:27] _pg_: but I think it's above your pay grade [18:27] <_pg_> bonjoyee: port 22 is open on the server (127.0.0.1) and from external ip check from internet [18:28] <_pg_> 22 is open and accepting connections. This indicates the port is not being blocked by either a firewall or your ISP and is currently operational.-dyndns.org [18:28] juniour, its easy [18:28] _pg_: I guess the question we are asking now is: if the internet service port check shows that it is "open", what exactly is responding to the incoming connection? Is it your home server that's actually saying "yes, I'm accepting connections"? Or is it the router that's saying that? [18:28] _pg_: 127.0.0.1 is localhost ... you have to make sure the sshd server is listening in your lan [18:28] _pg_: If the router accepts the connections but somehow it's not going to your server, that might cause the problem. [18:29] _pg_: you might try changing your sshd.conf file to listen on another port and forwarding port 22 incoming traffic to something like 2020 ro 2222 [18:29] _pg_: yes but you want to login from home to work, not from work from home, or you want both [18:29] _pg_: If it's not the problem, then we'd check to make sure you can ssh into your home server from home. [18:29] <_pg_> how do I make sure home server is listening for port 22 other than forwarding port 22 to servers local ip? [18:29] *or [18:29] _pg_ check the conf file [18:29] _pg_: If that's not the problem either, then somehow SSHd is deciding not to respond based on whether the connection is from work or home ... which is funny. [18:30] <_pg_> bluefox83: where is that? [18:30] erm...give me a second..i forget [18:30] _pg_: netstat -tl will tell you which tcp ports your server is listening on. [18:30] In Nautilus, how do I get the address bar to show when I need it too? [18:30] bombshell: crtl + l [18:30] <_pg_> Kyle__: from local or remote? [18:30] <_pg_> Kyle__: oh hey there ;) [18:31] _pg_: local. It tells you on the local machine. [18:31] Heh, yup, I'm in here as well [18:31] _pg_ just sudo vim /etc/ssh/ssh_config [18:31] That is a lot of banss. [18:31] that should open it, and you can edit the file :) [18:31] hey guys how do i do a dns lookup? [18:31] _pg_: _pg_ I think we know both your servers on both sides are listening from what you have told us, it's just a firewall local lan problem at work [18:31] _pg_: if u can somehow get to your server...give us the output of " sudo iptables -L" , "netstat -ltunp" [18:31] bluefox83: yeah; make him/her use vim... :S === Morphix is now known as MorphixNW [18:31] sacarlson: You think _pg_'s work is censoring outgoing connections to port 22? [18:32] Chris_E, dig or host [18:32] hello can some one help me to solve cd/dvd mount issue on maverick meerkat ? [18:32] erUSUL: what? vim is easy :) [18:32] host [18:32] <_pg_> ok, when i get home, what do i look for in /etc/sslconfig [18:32] kwtm: no the sensor or filter incoming [18:32] bluefox83: and not installed by default ... [18:32] _pg_: and im saying that based on u saying u can vnc home [18:32] bluefox83: Ahh, one of those vim zealots. :) Actually, I use vim exclusively now, but it took a long time to get used to. [18:32] kwtm: he could still setup a connection with vpn but as I said it's above his pay grade [18:32] <_pg_> kwtm: will port scan on 127.0.0.1 check that? [18:32] <_pg_> from work [18:32] hey guys, [18:33] Hi, In previous versions, I've been using lirc for my remote control. In the latest one it's now additionally being treated as a keyboard, and sending unwanted key presses. How do I disable this new behaviour? [18:33] bluefox83, vim is non intuitive = not easy [18:33] hey, cut me some slack, when i first started using linux the people that were "helping" me only used vim...i learned how to use it and now it's just all i use [18:33] bluefox83, ipad = easy [18:33] just so as you know, I just shut it down (by force) and when I restarted the graphics are normal, so yay! [18:33] sam-_-_: ipad = garbage [18:33] _pg_: no but you could setup wireshare to listin on the server at work and monitor as trafic tried to come in, how do you even get an IP adress at work to login to? [18:34] bluefox83, maybe but still easy [18:34] bluefox83: Yeah, I feel for you. :) I still encourage people to use vim, but doing it a bit more gently than the people on #vim do so, just so people aren't turned off vim (like I was in the beginning) [18:34] (in case no-one remembers I mentioned the other day that I had been having a login screen graphics problem) [18:34] hi, smee again. [18:34] BareGraceMisery: sorry i missed the show..did the pc not turn on after hitting the power button? [18:34] does ubuntu support xen? [18:34] Xen* [18:34] sacarlson: Wait, how do you know _pg_'s work is not censoring connections to port 22? I've had that problem before; I had to switch to connecting to port 80. [18:34] bonjoyee: yeah that's what I did, I gave up on trying to return to my running session [18:35] fuck! [18:35] Is there a way to easily find out what package installed a specific file on the system? I'm looking through apt-get and apt-cache man pages and haven't found anything [18:35] <_pg_> sacarlson: bonjoyee bluefox83 kwtm ok, I am going to try this from another location and see if that works. if it does ill let it go. this is my second job im not here enough to care [18:35] mirc just shut down [18:35] anyone? [18:35] sam-_-_: theres always emacs [18:35] any one ? [18:35] does ubuntu support Xen? [18:35] sry to bother again guys, but still havin the install problem: unable to find medium containing a live file system. integrity checked. tried with cd, alternate cd and usb.. no luck.. anyone an idea? [18:35] H3r0, yes [18:35] _pg_: Best of luck. Sorry we couldn't help you... [18:35] itaylor57, bloatware... [18:35] <_pg_> kwtm: np at all. I am ectremely grateful for the help. you guys are the best [18:35] !language | Chris_E [18:35] Chris_E - do you try it on ubuntu? [18:35] Chris_E: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [18:35] kwtm: that's posible they could also fileter outgoing on port 22 but I know for sure they filter in trafic on that port [18:36] well then [18:36] _pg_: my problem used to be that my university blocked 22 by default, and chatting was painfully slow so i started ssh tunneling to my home box and using irssi :) [18:36] sam-_-_ - 10x [18:36] after changing the ssh listen port to 2020 >.> [18:36] BareGraceMisery: so did u just choke it..by keeping the power button pressed? [18:36] idgas bout lang. [18:36] kwtm: but if 80 port is open he could still setup vpn to his home on port 80 and do any trafic he want there [18:36] H3r0, ? [18:36] Chris_E: and I don't care for your acronyms. [18:36] sam-_-_ - 10x=ten+x=thanks [18:37] thats good for you. [18:37] !guidelines > Chris_E [18:37] H3r0, np [18:37] Chris_E, please see my private message [18:37] kwtm: he needs to setup a vpn tunnel [18:37] sacarlson: Correct. I'm wondering if _pg_ should just get his router to forward port 80 (on router) to port 22 (on home server), which should be easy to do if he can VPN in. Oh, well, he's going to try from a different location (hopefully not Port22-censored)... [18:37] SpamBlocker: Message from ubottu blocked. [18:37] bonjoyee: yeah, which makes me sad because I used to think that was a Windoze problem. No operating system is perfect, I guess. Or maybe my hardware is choking because it's old... [18:38] sacarlson: You've said that before, but I still don't understand: isn't ssh the world's premier VPN tunnel? If I were in _pg_'s place, and I could set up a VPN tunnel, I'd want to see why it works and ssh doesn't, and then replace the tunnel with SSH. [18:38] kwtm: well I would just foward port 80 to port 80 but have sshd listen on port 80 [18:38] well, it's not that old… also bonjoyee, your nick sounds so bouncy and joyful! [18:38] BareGraceMisery: before doing that..did u not try just pressing the power button once? [18:39] sacarlson: Or any other combination of ports. Agreed. Personally I don't open any port less than 10000 on my router. [18:39] kwtm: no ssh is a shell === danny_ is now known as Darkasakerionz [18:39] dwtm or what is call a shell server [18:39] BareGraceMisery: well thanks...but my names joy, so it had to be!!:) [18:39] bonjoyee: yeah, it usually doesn't respond to that. You have to hold it down. [18:39] dwtm: openvpn is an encrypted tunnel for netwroking [18:39] hehe [18:40] anyone have experience with ffmpeg? [18:40] i used the ffmpeg -i *.avi *.flv command and it droped my audio [18:41] industrialphreak: #ffmpeg [18:41] <_pg_> kwtm: is the ten thousand or one thousand? === eris23 is now known as sof [18:41] hey guys, where do i change so that when i open new windows / program they dont maximzie on auto? [18:41] industrialphreak: someone else here mentioned the same issue earlier today, no resolution was asked for though. [18:41] _pg_: I use 10,000 (1e4). I mean, ports can go up to 65535, so I take advantage of all the numbers. I have several servers at home. [18:42] _pg_: The second server's ssh port is forwarded from 20022; the fourth server is 40022, etc. [18:42] its funny i have used it on earlyer distro. [18:42] with no problem like this before. === Guest47112 is now known as Freeaqingme [18:42] industrialphreak, does ffplay play the file with audio? === ng_ is now known as NG_ [18:43] kwtm: no mater what port number he used it would still require the connection start from work, that's what the openvpn is for so it astablishes the connection then he can ssh in [18:43] industrialphreak: do you have the restricted-extras package installed? [18:44] kwtm: that's the way I got around our firewalls at Raytheon === sof is now known as phun [18:44] yep === phun is now known as phun1 [18:44] greezmunkey: ffmpeg should pull in all things it needs.. [18:44] <_pg_> sacarlson: so open vpn beats work firewall? [18:44] industrialphreak: I can't say for sure that you need it, but the codec(s) in the restricted-extras package may ne required. You would have to ask someone else here for a sanity check on that. [18:45] _pg_: if you can get out you can connect [18:45] thanks erUSUL [18:45] sure [18:45] i did the mediabuntu repository thing [18:45] !who| industrialphreak [18:45] industrialphreak: 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 :) [18:45] and updated [18:45] can ubuntu server 10.10 mount a btrfs partition? [18:45] bonjoyee: that makes a lot of sense. It would be worth a look to see if that's really the case though. [18:45] wasutton3-Laptop, sure [18:45] wasutton3-Laptop: do not see why not; [18:46] _pg_: Only when they don't block the vpn ports. But start an ssh server on port 443 (if it's not used on your server) most likely the work firewall will allow access. [18:46] greezmunkey: no offense meant:) [18:46] sam-_-_ erUSUL, ok, because i cannot seem to get it to mount at all [18:46] bonjoyee: none taken :) [18:46] wasutton3-Laptop: error message?

[19:38] adminewb, possibly, I'll have to look into it, the only other thing I can think of is to boot with a livecd but this computer doesn't have a cd/dvd drive anymore [19:38] Aelingil: if it the system partition that you are resizing then you may have issues .. if it is just a data partition then it should work [19:38] fru311, have you tried "22 14 * * * root ls /tmp" [19:38] Rafeiro: also paste the output of "smbtree" and " sudo ufw status" [19:38] whitman, you might try the provision in grub for loop mounting an ISO image of your LiveCD to boot from [19:39] Skype is available :D [19:39] smbtree asks the password but nothing happens lol [19:39] ssureshot: it is a Dell 12g partition that has the OS on it, i need to make the partition larger so it stops crashing on me.. i'm hoping i dont have to do a full install / setup [19:39] adminewb, I'll look into it, in no hurry [19:39] whitman, but personally I'd just start up in maint mode, using the root shell === illusionz is now known as impreziv [19:39] sam: No, I haven't, but this command (*/01 * * * * ls /tmp)runs every minute, with no issues, the output is emailed to me [19:40] Rafeiro: use the pasword which u set while doing "sudo smbpasswd" [19:40] anyone have an idea of how to restore a USB thumbdrive to its original state .. the way it was BEFORE making it into a bootable ubuntu USB stick [19:40] bonjoyee, smbtree asks for password but nothing else happens (with my root and smb passwd) and the other command says cant be found [19:40] delinquentme: format it to fat32? [19:41] Aelingil: honestly it's hit or miss. you will be resizing the system partition. Resizing partitions is never recommended on production servers.. if yo do decide to do this I would test in prior to on a test box and also have a backup plan should things not go acordingly [19:41] happy holidays everybody [19:41] cr215, u 2 [19:41] am trying to install 10.10 on a system with an ATI AGP 512mb 4650, and as you know it wont boot.

[19:41] whitman, if you do prefer the copy/delete instead while running multiuser, mounting the new /home will cover up the old one, making cleanup impossible afaik [19:41] ssureshot: yeah, i'm planning on using it on this computer first, see how it goes before moving to the other one... beans.

That's what happens to me, but I can use the sound control panel to select which device to use as sound output. Other than that I'm not sure how you would do it unless you use an alsa utility on the command line [20:40] vladikoff, u may use gparted to find out about the filesystem type [20:41] vladikoff, but it won't mount it for you afaik [20:41] sam-_-, says 37gb unallocated [20:41] hi there, i tried to create a live usb out of a live cd (ubuntu 10.10), like i told to, with the goal to install ubuntu on hard disk.. every other way crashed and freezed.. someone any idea?

[20:49] nirazio, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-extras-keyring [20:49] or a scanned document [20:49] milamber, I still have some trouble with packages.ubuntu.com: there doesn't appear any simple way to search contents, as in component file names :-/ [20:49] what is the package name for the program "Places > Search for files"? [20:49] isn't there a memtest option in grub? [20:49] yes m4xx why? [20:50] sam-_-: Will installing that solve my problem?? [20:50] wouldn't that help sion_ ? [20:50] Ah. Never mind. It turns out that 6.04 for the desktop is no longer supported, and that's why the ISOs are gone. [20:50] nirazio, i think so [20:50] adminewb: i installed the search tool for firefox - it seems to work pretty well for me as long as you just use one word. [20:50] milamber, If my gfx card is not listed here, where else can I look for notes on compatibility? [20:50] nirazio: when you add these repositories, the pages where you learn about them usually tell you how to add the key [20:50] !6.04 | creichen [20:50] suspend does not work on my system after I updated. [20:50] vladikoff, use fdisk -l maybe it will tell you more [20:51] Sorr I don't understand, what was your suggestion? [20:51] sam-_-, thanks! [20:51] sion_: use the memtest on grub, at startup [20:51] Stava: google for video 4 linux 2 - they have a lot of good info [20:51] milamber, so how to access content file names then? [20:51] milamber, alright [20:51] jrib: This one "W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release " [20:52] vladikoff, it could also use a partition table that even fdisk won't understand. in that case you need to google [20:52] !dapper | creichen [20:52] creichen: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu.

My skipe stopped working out of the blue on 10.04. Is anyone aware of any change on their protocol that caused this? [20:54] !wifi > xxmayhem714xx [20:54] xxmayhem714xx, please see my private message [20:54] ok I'll start googling for answers [20:54] I reinstalled grub, but it boots directly on one system, instead of displaying a menu. what is wrong ? [20:54] Thanks for your advice : ) [20:54] sion_ no nothing wrong, it just doesn't default to showing the menu [20:54] xxmayhem714xx, Wireless adapter Model , Make , Chipset ? [20:55] carandraug, what does stop working mean? [20:55] What "File System Queue" list is for in banshee? http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3205/bansheev.png [20:55] you're welcome sion_ [20:55] gribouille: If you only have one OS, Ubuntu, that's normal. If you have another OS then run "sudo update-grub". [20:55] sam-_-, it keeps trying to connect forever never suceding. I can close the application no problem. It simply no longer connects. [20:56] carandraug, skype is down atm [20:56] carandraug, nothing you can do [20:56] sion_: "shift" is the key you hold down to display the grub menu [20:56] gribouille you need to do the same google as sion_ is, to find out what key to hold to get grub to show your menu [20:56] ok then, shift key [20:57] carandraug, although http://heartbeat.skype.com/ seems to think differently [20:57] sam-_-, ok. Thank you very much. That's what I thought it could happen and needed to know. Thanks [20:57] Jordan_U, doesn't grub-install search fo the other operating systems ? [20:57] carandraug, all i can say is. mine doesn't work either [20:57] Cool I'll try that [20:57] Thanks jrib [20:57] gribouille: No. [20:57] Jordan_U, ok, thanks. let my try [20:58] gribouille: You're welcome. [20:58] Without intending to troll: are there any Linux distributions that are almost as good as Ubuntu for casual end users?

[20:59] sam-_-: The ipw2100 doesn't work properly, and Xorg isn't entirely reliable either (Radeon), even without dri. [20:59] carandraug, i could and it said "Sign in and registration. Some customers or areas may currently experience problems." [20:59] hi, i have a question, is it possible to extract the crypto key of a LUKS device and then crack it with grid computing?

I'm just curious about extract the key [21:02] does anyone know why nautilus looks so ugly on my system? [21:03] RyanPianesi: I'd like for people to stay on topic in the Ubuntu support channel. [21:03] ilmerovingio: this channel is strictly for ubuntu support only ...

I have a Broadcom corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) wireless chip in my laptop and it is not working in ubuntu 10.10 Desktop. How can i make it work=? [21:12] The correct drivers [21:12] !wireless | Diverdude [21:12] Diverdude: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:12] ikonia: I have an iso on my computer. The only way to get it to the one I want to install it on is to put it on a hard drive and boot it up. I could then install back to the same HDD [21:12] VV: why dd it ? [21:12] I want to make sure that dd will make the disk bootable [21:13] VV: dd has nothing to do with making it bootable [21:13] ikonia: how else to get the iso from my computer to the relevent HDD?

[21:14] VV: you need a boot loader [21:15] nirazio: There's usually a copy in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list [21:15] ikonia: the iso doesn't have one? [21:15] thanks for some feedback http://pastebin.com/qF73CHWM [21:15] VV: yes, but the iso doesn't have an mbr [21:15] Ok, they do have lugins that do the stuff I was hoping to do [21:15] ikonia: ah. strange [21:15] It was necessary to add the Indicator Applet back to the panel after an update [21:15] erUSUL, i dont have network...can i download the package somewhere and install it from USB stick=?

[21:15] VV: not really [21:16] Diverdude: not really; that package is like the one for flash... it downloads the firmware while installing. [21:16] ikonia: I'm used to just "burning" the iso, popping in the disk, and booting. I'm not used to having to get critical parts like the mbr on my own [21:16] erUSUL, so i can only install it if i am connected to the internet? [21:17] can anyone tell me in which file(s) the scheduling algorithm code are written in linux kernel source code? [21:17] genii-around: Thank you [21:17] Diverdude: you have to get the deb for b43-fwcutter and get the firmware files separately [21:17] Diverdude: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware_installation [21:17] nirazio: You're welcome [21:17] erUSUL, maybe i can just download this:http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/firmware-b43-installer/download [21:17] sudipta: try in ##kernel [21:18] thanks for some feedback http://pastebin.com/qF73CHWM [21:18] Diverdude, check this guide you can install offline https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [21:19] Diverdude: no that wont work. as i said when you install that deb it will try to connec to internet to get the fw files and it will fail [21:19] Diverdude, you need to follow the STA No Internet guide === ng_ is now known as NG_ [21:20] how to disable annoying "knock" sound in login screen [21:20] r00t4rd3d, the one xxmayhem714xx linked to?

[21:53] thanks r00trd3d hopefully that fixes my panel dissapearance problem [21:54] r00t4rd3d, the panel thing keeps popping up. it really needs to be more stable [21:54] abe, is a terminal, could you run 'service network-manager status' and find out if network manager is running?

[21:56] i know adobe has issued an update for windows granting hw accel, but i was wondering if it's true for ubuntu too [21:56] and B: do any of you know why certain applications can't be stuck to the launcher? [21:56] vast, you might need to download proprietary graphics drivers [21:56] K, do I need to run "update-grub" after [21:57] !sam, [21:57] @dnivra, nothing returned as if it is running or closed [21:57] Nero_911, yes sudo update-grub [21:57] thanks, see you after reboot [21:57] abe, that means its not running [21:57] abe, okay i guess nm-applet isn't running. in the same terminal, type the command 'nm-applet&' [21:57] noonian, alright, sounds good. should the system driver app be enough to get those, or will i have to go poking around? [21:58] Nero_911, cu [21:58] @dnivra i have8594 [21:58] vast, if there are proprietary drivers available for your graphics card they should be listed in hardware drivers under system->administration [21:58] thanks again, sam. rebooting === priya is now known as Guest7256 [21:58] abe, now is the icon back? [21:58] What does it mean when I tried to boot Xubuntu, it said that it cannot mount on /dev/loop. [21:59] @dnivra I think the applet itself is not running, I just ran it. I am going to try to add it to my panel [21:59] vast, depending on how powerful your machine is you might want to turn down the graphics settings too if it is really slow [21:59] !tab [21:59] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:59] abe, it didn't appear there in the panel? [22:00] abe, and 'nm-applet&' is to run the applet :) [22:00] buzain, bad idea to tell them that. I get so used to usign tab to complete stuff, that I even try to tab-complete words I cannot spell (Or the spelling evades me for that moment) [22:00] Hi again [22:00] xDD [22:00] cptblood, btw. it might be obvious too but there are different kinds of hardware accel. rendering accel and h.264 decoding accel are two that come to mind [22:00] I purchased a Ralink RT3370 wireless network adapter, and am trying to install on Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot, for the life of me, figure how to install the necessary drivers. the enclosed directions are for windows. can you please assist me with a walk-thru for installing this network adapter, starting with 'insert the cd'? I am a novice Ubuntu user, and not familiar with the steps other Linux and Ubuntu users take for granted. a [22:00] ny help would be greatly appreciated! [22:00] @dnivra thank you for your patience with me. I am adding , cross ur fingers :) [22:00] How can I put my two cpus on "powersave" mode automatically at startup ? [22:00] Guest7256, Search google. Look for drivers for your specific wireless adapter [22:00] Valkyrie, i do the same :) [22:01] abe, hope for the best with crossed fingers. hope you get it. [22:01] Guest7256, no offence, I just don't think we have a list of all drivers on hand. And it'll make your life easier, instead of waiting for us to go google, come back with relevent results [22:01] sam-_-: rendering flash with hw acceleration differs from h264 tho [22:01] Then point you to a website you were already going to go to anyway. [22:01] noonian, thanks. its not so much universally slow as choppy in certain places, like when opening the new app/file browser, etc. [22:01] cptblood, true [22:01] @ valkyrie I have, and am not having much luck. I have found the driver packages, but have no idea how to load them [22:02] @dnivra failed to run because of child process :( [22:02] Are they in a .tar.gz? [22:02] abe, what failed to run? [22:02] noonian, so i figure i can deal with it. do you have any idea why some apps won't stick to the launcher? [22:03] Guest7256, I can't tell you 'exactly' where to put them. Considering I use Archlinux -- But, I can help you unpack them and attempt to locate your 'other' modules. [22:03] @dnivra failed to excuete child process (no such file or directory) [22:03] Guest7256, is there a native driver? [22:03] hey guys, doing an install and this part of says "allocate drive space" where it offers "files (1.7gb)" or "ubuntu" ... whats the difference? [22:03] @valkyrie that would be appriciated [22:03] !wife | Guest7256 [22:03] vast, hmm not really. which one wont stick?

[22:04] Guest7256, Do me a favor. Do this in command line: lsmod [22:04] !sa you still around ?

[22:04] Nero_911, y [22:05] posting new Xorg log [22:05] Then, select one of the modules. and type 'locate nameofdriverhere' [22:05] hi [22:05] without the quotations, Guest7256. [22:05] abe, in terminal, type 'nm-' and press tab. see if it auto completes. [22:05] how can i remove completely xubuntu-desktop? [22:05] Wait, wouldn't the drivers in the Ubuntu kernel be compiled in? [22:05] abe, you can put nm-applet as a startup application under system->preferences->startup applications [22:05] So he'd have to re-compile his kernel, no? [22:05] How can I put my two cpus on "powersave" mode automatically at startup ? [22:05] @adnivra it completes, I believe that startup application should work. Let me try. Thanks [22:05] vast, hmm thats strange. xchat sticks to the panel for me [22:05] LunaVorax, What WM? [22:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/546732/ [22:06] abe, if you do that you dont need the & on the command btw [22:06] abe, when you cannot run 'nm-applet' because the file isn't found, think adding a startup application would work? [22:06] !sam, I have two modes now. [22:06] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:06] noonian: well, when i left click on it in the launcher, there is no 'keep in launcher' option for it. perhaps there is another way to do it? [22:07] How can I remove completely xubuntu-desktop? [22:07] Nero_911, which ones? [22:07] Nero_911, there is no need for '!' before the nick. just type 'sam' and press to autocomplete the nick. [22:07] How do i change the Size of the RESIZE AREA of the titlebar? [22:07] it's wayy to big [22:07] Guest7256, Once that's done. You know where the drivers are located. It should be something like /src/kernelxx/driver/net/wireless [22:07] when i try to move a window, it attempts to resize it. [22:07] will do [22:07] how do I change this "feature" [22:08] Satisfied: are you doing a fresh installation on the whole drive? [22:08] @adnivra I think adding in the startup should work because it is in the system. When I put 'nm' and pressed tabbed it did display the applet option [22:08] no, along side a windows partition [22:08] @adnivra i will logout and login to see if it worked [22:08] abe, can you try running it without the '&' ? [22:08] why is it that EVERY OTHER resize area of the window is ONE PIXEL but the titlebar? [22:08] vast, I am clicking and dragging xchat from the menu with my mouse up to the panel [22:08] samitheberber, 800x600 and 640x480 [22:09] @adnivra it works without '&' [22:09] dnivra, he said it just closes when the terminal closes, so i think startup app will work [22:09] noonian, oh! well '&' was supposed to be to solve that :) [22:10] dnivra, yeah, backgrounded processes still run in that bash i believe so when you close the terminal it still stops it [22:10] How do i change the size of the area of a window that allows me to change its size? [22:10] noonian, nm-applet is started by default at startup. that's why there isn't a need to add it. wish i'd read his comment clearly. [22:11] @adnivra not working :(, i think i added it wrong [22:11] i.e. when i attempt to MOVE a window IT GETS RESIZED because someone made the titlebar resize area WAYY TO BIG [22:11] how can i install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack? [22:11] dnivra: nohup will leave the command running even after the terminal is closed [22:11] abe, press alt + f2 and type 'nm-applet' in the box. [22:12] itaylor57, cool! i didn't know that. thanks! === roaming is now known as INFURNO [22:12] Does NOBODY know how to edit the size of the "resize area" for windows? [22:12] this is getting really annoying [22:12] @adnivra now it is working, where should i add that command? [22:12] Hi, got a problem with samba. Both PCs are connected via gigabit, but when writing files to the samba server the first 100MB per connection are written with >100MB/s, after that performance drops way below 1MB/s. Reading files works at full speed. [22:12] Satisfied: the first option will use the free space on the hard drive that's why it says use 1.7gb of the HDD, the other option will delete everything, u can do it manually [22:13] rinku_kokiri, sorry, i just dont really understand what you are asking.

[22:13] I have a pretty fress install of kubuntu 10.10 [22:14] Nero_911, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:14] until yesterday, everything worked well, but after the upgrade yesterday night, my X don't want to start [22:14] it says "Failed to load kernel module" [22:14] I tried everything :( [22:14] abe, is it still running? [22:14] will do [22:15] is there any known issue with the nvidia driver ? (I have GTX 460) [22:15] sam- [22:15] sam-_-, will do [22:15] BernardV: Sounds good, do you know where i can find a tut how to enable it? [22:15] !drivers [22:15] @adnivra nope, i loged out and logged in. Not running. I even typed the complete link /usr/bin/nm-applet [22:15] zmitya, i have a 450 and it works fine [22:15] Exterminans: I think it's enabled by default [22:15] R1cochet, do you have the latest kernel ? [22:15] Exterminans: mount -t cifs ...

[22:16] rinku_kokiri, hmm that sounds strange. It is resizing not min/maxing? [22:16] they actually had linux support for the 460 before the 450 [22:16] no it's just a gui annoyance... the area that allows me to resize the window on the titlebar is TOO BIG [22:16] talking bout nvidia cards? === charlie is now known as Guest65089 === Guest65089 is now known as theothestone [22:16] I would like to make it smaller [22:16] R1cochet, cat you please gibe me a "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" output ?

It just appeared [22:16] Exterminans: Ah ok.. let me think.. never tested here, only reading from linux.. but I also have a w7 pc and ubuntu..

[22:18] R1cochet, one more question please: "lsmod | grep nv" please [22:19] thanks grivel [22:19] @adnivra I did it to panel, however it is behaving as a command. When I launch/press the icon it displays the network connection [22:19] So you can understand here's my attempt to explain... the area on the left, right and bottom of the window one pixel to click to resize.. However, about the ENTIRE TITLE BAR is this "resize area" and Moving the window causes me to squint, and lose all sanity as the window is resized over again.

Everything seems ok, and when I run "pon BluetoothDialup" my phone initiates a modem connection, then immediately drops it.

[22:19] zmitya, http://paste.ubuntu.com/546738/ [22:19] I wish to make this "resize area" smaller [22:20] @adnivra I think i should be fine with the current setup. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!:) Happy Holidays [22:20] PEACE TO ALL [22:20] is there a setting/file somewhere that will allow me to do this? [22:20] abe, but it doesn't start when you logout and login again does it? [22:20] abe, okay then. np :). you too enjoy! [22:20] zmitya, you know i dont think i actually have it installed yet. just reinstalled OS last night [22:20] @adnivra it works some what :) thank you again [22:20] sam-_-, reconfiguring did help, tried with the -phigh switch also [22:20] but i did have it running on 10.10 two days ago [22:20] Ileden, maybe you could check the logs in /var/log/messages to see what is wrong? [22:20] R1cochet, yes, because your nvidia module is not loaded [22:21] and it worked on fedora 14 as well [22:21] R1cochet, I assume that glxgears shows ~400 FPS only, but is should be ~14000 [22:21] also i think i might be using the neaveau driver atm [22:21] Nero_911, what modes do you have now?

You could try changing themes and seeing if that helps, or see if a different window manager has smaller margins. also there is an option to have a key that will let you move a window by clicking anywhere on it if the key is held down [22:24] Ileden, looks to me like the PPP connection setup process is not happening correctly. [22:24] R1cochet, anyway, let me try find out the issue with google [22:24] what you would expect from a cheap usb antenna...it can easily be modded tho for a directional approach [22:24] noonian, may have found it with gconf-editor [22:24] R1cochet, ok, sorry, don't want to have you install unnecessary things...

[22:32] R1cochet, so you don't have the propietary driver installed too [22:32] nope [22:33] sorry noonian basicly im using wine, to download pkr, downloaded fine, but when i checked my downloads folder, and its not there, where would it be?? [22:33] Ileden, yeah i was a bit confused since PIN negotiation is automatic :). give it a shot without it. [22:33] but i have had it installed on 10.10 about 2 days ago [22:33] did a reinstall last night [22:33] hi, i'm having an issue with a bind9 upadte that won't install... how can i know what's causing this? [22:33] Also, switched from this monitor to another and picked up 1280x1024. reconnected orginal monitor and the resolution stayed. I don't think ubuntu can id the monitor [22:33] R1cochet, ok, I wish the best when you do it :) [22:33] thanks for the patience [22:33] wildfire100, try searching. Terminal> locate [22:33] zmitya, they have always worked fine for me [22:33] sam-_- Also, switched from this monitor to another and picked up 1280x1024. reconnected orginal monitor and the resolution stayed. I don't think ubuntu can id the monitor [22:33] gl to you [22:33] dnivra: yep, and besides the other laptop that had this working didn't have the package either,as i recall.

[22:34] wildfire100: select pkrinstall.exe, right-click, "open containing folder" ? [22:35] lockersnatch, when i plugged it in i didnt have an extension cable. does the card come w/ one? [22:35] i installed ubuntu 2 days ago and it's crashed. i cannot format my comp! how can i fix the problem and prevent it to happen in the future [22:35] i think i might be able to get a better signal if it isnt plugged right in to desktop [22:35] Mathuin, dosnt allow me, [22:36] PerSeL, did you install from a booted cd or inside windows? [22:36] Nero_911, you may need to edit your /etc/xorg.conf [22:36] R1cochet: no, you will need to purchase a USB extension cable (can get one for cheap @ newegg) [22:36] Nero_911, to sth. like thishttp://pastebin.com/yfCkvD1h [22:36] booted cd [22:36] Nero_911, to sth. like this http://pastebin.com/yfCkvD1h [22:36] yes sir. i love newegg [22:36] yeah, i agree, but there isn't one. [22:36] wildfire100: From a Unix shell, "find .wine -name pkrinstall.exe -print" ? [22:36] sam-_-, yeah, i agree, but there isn't one. [22:36] wildfire100: try that command from your home directory. [22:36] nice thing is i live near a microcenter and they price match newegg :) [22:36] PerSeL, you know how to tab correct [22:36] R1cochet: yea, they are a pretty sweat deal most of the time [22:37] Nero_911, then create one :-) [22:37] dnivra: this is really weird, everyhting worked just fine with my prev. laptop, and I was even using the same USB BT adapter. [22:37] PerSeL, tab in IRC [22:37] wildfire100, did that work? how did you download with wine btw? [22:37] Mathuin, dont worry, thanks figured it out === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [22:37] tab? [22:37] Hello, I was wondering if anyone know if you had to install any kind of graphics software to run the games in the humble bundle. All of them keep having seg faults. Attempted to load World Of Goo and it errored saying no glxinfo. [22:37] R1cochet: for all that you are investing in this, you may just want to buy an old router and use it as a repeater [22:38] nit-wit: tab? [22:38] Ileden, with hardware, many things can be weird :) [22:38] !tab | PerSeL [22:38] PerSeL: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:38] sam-_-, just a blank file or should i try and find some defaults somewhere ? [22:38] Nero_911, after that sudo restart gdm. it may break your graphics server. you can always come back with the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:38] !tab [22:38] wildfire100: glad you figured it out. [22:38] is that what you meant nit-wit ? [22:38] Hopefully someone knows the answer to my Minecraft fullscreen question. :-) [22:38] lockersnatch, i have no idea how to do that [22:38] Nero_911, take this one http://pastebin.com/yfCkvD1h [22:39] nit-wit: ok [22:39] R1cochet: then for the sake of simplicity ur prob on the right track :) [22:39] lol [22:39] PerSeL, thats the ticket so tell us whats happening [22:39] R1cochet: there is almost always more than one way to skin a cat :) [22:39] lmao === Auv5 is now known as JackMc [22:39] sam-_-, will do [22:39] Mathuin, i would try to reproduce your problem but I dont want to play minecraft for an hour :P [22:39] dnivra, yes [22:39] lockersnatch, thank you for your help === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [22:40] R1cochet: glad i could man, happy networking :D [22:40] i might still grab that adapter and use an extension cable see if that will work [22:40] nit-wit: i installed ubuntu from boot cd [22:42] hay alguien q use lubuntu?

[22:44] I have an Intel 1-i7-950, 24GB of RAM, and 8 x 1TB HDD's. It should be able to run this I believe. [22:45] Anyone here with experience about bluetooth GPRS? Everything seems ok, and when I run "pon BluetoothDialup" my phone initiates a modem connection, then immediately drops it. /var/log/messages reports "LCP terminated by peer" right after ppp0<-->rfcomm0 and pap authentication. I've used the phone successfully before with the exact same chatscript, and the phone also works with Win7 so it's not impossible... [22:45] psionicsin: holy moly what is that, like a $15K system?? === Guest7256 is now known as Sensenetheru [22:46] Lockersnatch. Nope. Under $2500 [22:46] psionicsin, either the dvd is broken or the drive [22:46] Hand built. [22:46] sam-_-, do I remove the nomoline [22:46] psionicsin, wow hehe. Maybe the disc is messed up, ive never had an error like that [22:46] psionicsin: wow, pretty impressive [22:46] Nero_911, which line= [22:46] PerSeL, what are you doing [22:46] Nero_911, which line? [22:46] I tried 3 copies all burned from different burners and got the same result. And they're brand new burners too. [22:47] I rent a machine like that by the hour from Amazon AWS on rare occasions when I need to crunch a lot of data. Runs Ubuntu nicely. [22:47] They can't all be jacked [22:47] nit-wit i have finished typing [22:47] psionicsin: do you get any sort of error msg? [22:47] Yes [22:47] sam-_-, sorry, the grub line we stuck in earlier ? [22:47] psionicsin, maybe try a usb boot? [22:47] Nero_911, just leave it [22:48] I've tried running ubuntu and AV Linux as a Live DVD and the message I get is "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [22:48] psionicsin: did you already check the bios to make sure it was set to boot from cd/dvd? [22:48] noonian: it's rough. :-) [22:48] psionicsin: what iso image are you burning into the disks ? [22:48] Harovali. The x64 version of 10.10 [22:48] lockersnatch. yes [22:48] psionicsin: why not try a 32 bit version ? [22:49] harovali. because I have 24GB of ram that I want to utilize. [22:49] Exterminans: Sorry now testing, got a phone call [22:49] psionicsin: yo can go after it later , try 32 bit firsthand [22:49] psionicsin: this might sound like another stupid Q, but are you sure you burned the iso correctly (i ask b/c just yesterday a fella had the same issue and it was b/c he improperly burned the iso (put the iso file on the disc w/o xtracting) [22:49] BernardV: Ok [22:50] sam-_-, system just hangs on boot. show ubuntu and five red dots [22:51] Lockersnatch. I used InfraRecorder. Selected burn image to disc. It burned the image to the DVD. I then popped it back in, and all of the files are on there perfectly. A GUI even popped up asking me what I wanted to do with Ubuntu. [22:51] dnivra: Nah, this just doesn't work. I'll try again some other time. thanks for the help anyway! :) [22:51] Nero_911 then reboot into rescue mode and reset x [22:51] Ileden, try ask here some time later too. sure! sorry i couldn't fix it :). [22:51] psionicsin: ahh, i hear ya, wasnt trying to insult your intelligence, but i always try to check the simplest things first [22:52] Lockersnatch: I then selected Demo and/or Install Ubuntu. It asked me to reboot my system and boot from CD/DVD. I did just that and it says that it failed to find a medium containing a live file system. I don't get it. [22:52] psionicsin, it's a sata drive, right? [22:52] Yes. 10k Raptor [22:52] psionicsin: have you even tried the 32 bit version? also, you might try the LTS edition === tasso is now known as TASSO [22:53] psionicsin, no the cd/dvd [22:53] Oh, yes [22:53] Lockersnatch. While COULD try it, if it worked it'd do me no good as I have to install the x64 version. [22:53] psionicsin, maybe you can tell your bios to set ide compatibility for this sata port? [22:53] It's already set [22:54] psionicsin, then without? [22:54] psionicsin: have you tried installing it to disk then booting normally? [22:55] lockersnatch, i think he has a more basic problem [22:55] sam-_-: maybe so, just throwing out ideas :) [22:55] Lockersnatch. No. I didn't want to install to anything until I played with it first from a Live CD/DVD. The DVD doesn't even give me an option to install during bootup. Just says can't mount. [22:55] Be back. Gonna try again. [22:55] sam-_-: i would think though if he was able to get the main boot menu, then he should be properly configured [22:55] psionicsin, yeah it really looks like it cant find the correct cd drive [22:56] psionicsin, or if it can there is something preventing it from booting from cd [22:56] noonian. i only have one, but I'm gonna try again. [22:56] sam-_-: well there ya go, doesnt give him access :) [22:56] I have a Question [22:56] And hello [22:56] sam-_-, theres no grub screen when I boot, alas, no way to select rescue mode. Do I need to boot from CD ?? [22:56] lockersnatch, grrr... [22:57] Nero_911, no press esc [22:58] sam-_-: am i frustrating you? [22:58] lockersnatch, haha. you wish? [22:58] lol [22:58] sam-_-: nah, trying to figure out where the grrr was directed :) [22:59] lockersnatch, don't take it seriously... [22:59] sam-_-: its all good [22:59] lockersnatch, y [23:00] * lockersnatch is back to the books [23:00] how can i compile a program enabling to enable debuggin and use gdb [23:00] join #Teleport [23:01] how can i compile one application linked to another? [23:01] for instance i need to compile kdenlive linked against x264 [23:02] huskers: usuallly in the configure script [23:02] just install the x264 headers and you should be fine huskers [23:02] can you elaborate, still very new and trying to understand. [23:03] huskers: do you have the source to kdenlive? [23:03] huskers, sudo apt-get install libx264-dev [23:03] huskers: ./configure --include-x264 [23:03] no, and i think that may be what i have done incorrectly. [23:03] huskers: listen to sam-_- [23:03] i compiled the installation of ffmpeg and x264...but used synaptic to install kdenlive [23:04] hi [23:04] baggar11, do you understand? [23:04] Good day. Can someone please assist me? [23:04] hi all, i have a question, I have 2 computer A and B I have a program (gimp) on A and I want use Gimp from A in B, so I can use cpu power of A but using the program in B. But only the program. I know RDP and VNC but they gave me the entire desktop.... [23:04] heloo [23:04] huskers: usually much cleaner and easier to deal with apt-get [23:04] Nero_911: hold shift after POST to get a menu from grub during boot [23:04] huskers: compiling isn't for n00bs :) [23:04] bastidrazor, oh shift. y. thank you [23:04] sam-_-: sort of [23:04] R1cochet: ok, not I'm writing from the ubuntu, the driver I downloaded from nvidia works better which was provided by ubuntu for some reason [23:05] how do i enter addres in nautilus [23:05] R1cochet: 125446 frames in 5.0 seconds = 25088.961 FPS [23:05] sam-_-, ok, thanks [23:05] hi iwhant some commands for linux [23:05] baggar11: i understand that, but have to learn somehow...i have successfully compiled a few other items...

[23:05] hi iwhant some commands for linux [23:05] like /home/dwarder/music [23:05] i meant path [23:05] in nautilus [23:05] is it possible to enter [23:05] ? [23:05] dwarder: try alt-l or ctrl-l [23:06] zmitya, glxgears is not a benchmark [23:06] huskers: the usual format for compiling is configure ; make ; make install [23:06] huskers: in the configure script, there are options for including other packages in the install [23:06] sam-_-: I know, but fast feedback :) [23:06] jrib: nothing happens [23:06] huskers: try ./configure --help to learn about them [23:06] And then when THAT doesn't work you try the readme and install emacs/vi/etc to write a config file. [23:07] zmitya, but it's only very rough. like to see if hardware accel is working or not [23:07] dwarder: in your menu: Go -> Location... [23:07] baggar11: thats the process i used before...the problem is the link i was following added some commands i wasn't sure of. [23:07] sam-_-: so what do you recommend ?

I mean, when I play a file, the player will show the 5 guys that created it, how do I get rid of that? [23:09] zmitya, and you want to use google earth? [23:09] i followed this process to install ffmpeg and x264; however i used synaptic to install kdenlive...now it seems my kdenlive isn't tied to my x264...that makes sense [23:09] sam-_-, Hey Sam thanks alot , but I'll have to give up for the moment. Will try again tomorrow. See ya then [23:09] sam-_-: not bad :) I can turn on the desktop effects, however it is annoying sometimes :P :) [23:09] zmitya, or is there any other non game 3d application?

[23:28] Sary: one second [23:28] i had a corrupt cd install a file system appear fine and find out there are errors [23:28] psionicsin: Because the bootloader uses the BIOS to read from the CDROM drive to load the kernel / initramfs, then the kernel / initramfs need to access the hardware directly. [23:29] sounds like they are not being burned as iso's tho [23:29] you mean the bootoptions? [23:29] psionicsin: maybe try usb boot [23:29] Sary: you want me to list the boot options? [23:29] you mean pci? lspci. similar with usb [23:29] Jezek, no , do you see the Boot options line .. [23:30] Sary: yes [23:30] imisdal: ^^^ [23:30] baggar11: I'll do that, but I'm trying to understand exactly why it is that it "supposedly" can't find my drive. I'm like that. I need to know what's causing it not to read correctly before moving on. [23:30] maybe you should burn some more dvd's [23:30] Jezek, delete "- -" from the inputline , hit the Esc key [23:31] to build ltsp do i need to activate the 32 bit repo's [23:31] Sary: you are leaving the graphic boot menu [23:31] is that what i want [23:31] hi === root is now known as Guest85430 [23:32] Jezek, you shouldn't be leaving that [23:32] psionicsin, the booting is not done by linux but by the bootloader that's why [23:32] hi [23:32] i tried building the 32 bit on 64 bit system using the right command but it downloads all 64 bit files and errors with dependancies not met [23:32] Sary: ok i dont think you have to hit esc to save the boot options [23:32] Where is the best irssi tutorial on the web? [23:32] does anyone know if this would work in linux to triple monitor with a built in vga http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812196236&cm_re=usb_vga_cable-_-12-196-236-_-Product [23:33] Sary: should i try install now? [23:33] Jezek, Esc to go back to the LiveCD menu .. [23:33] Yes [23:33] Sary: no [23:33] how can i compile a program enabling to enable debuggin and use gdb [23:33] The actual irssi site doesn't seem that helpful, advice appreciated. [23:33] sam-_- is there a way to find out the correct way to do this for my system before I move on to a ubd drive? [23:33] Dwade09: you need three monitor outs [23:33] Sary: if i hit esc it brings up menu that you are leaving gui menu or whatever [23:33] or split the signal [23:33] sam-_- I would like to exhaust all current CD/DVD drive options before jumping ship. [23:33] but splitting is kinda pointless [23:34] joeoshawa, three, one would be only for movies and music the built in for the laptop would be only for web browsing and the one running on that would be only for irc and chatting systems. [23:34] it drops you to a busybox shell, right psionicsin? [23:34] psi: it's just an installation.. why don't you just try usb. [23:34] im trying to install a ra3370 network adapter, and am having trouble with the install. if someone can help, pls pm me. [23:34] Hey all... I cannot share my files through SMB for some reason [23:34] wyclif: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [23:34] sam-_- yes [23:35] Hey i am new to this sorta, i have a Ubuntu server running, and i need to reenter a proccess i disowned. How do i do it. Or is there a better way i can disown a proccess so i can reenter it? === Shadowolf is now known as Abhish [23:36] Tm0: normally, fg will work [23:36] Anyone know why this would happen? [23:36] yes but you need three outs like i used the onboard vga and the vga and dvi from my geforce 8400 gs [23:36] bastidrazor, FG to renter to or better disown? [23:36] Tm0: to reenter [23:36] ran pretty good but i almost fried the gs [23:37] bastidrazor, i will give FG a try thanks [23:37] joeoshawa, i only need two outs the laptop monitor is built in and i got a built in vga. [23:37] Jezek, But after installaing and rebooting , when you see the Grub menu .. hit "e" and delete QUIET, SPLASH , type nomodeset , and you should be good to go. [23:37] ok so who makes the cards [23:37] the chipset [23:37] nvidia [23:37] ? [23:37] Sary: if i get that far === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [23:37] I'm now on lxde, but I can't find how to change my dual monitor setup from mirror to extend. Does anybody know how to do this? [23:37] joeoshawa, mien is intel my built in video card is [23:37] bastidrazor, this is so if i do a proccess.sh &disown i can renter it? It didn't work. Unless i have my syntax wrong [23:37] Sary: i think it froze again [23:38] psionicsin: If you "cat /proc/partitions" from the busybox shell can you see your hard drive listed? [23:38] Has anyone figured out a fix for the ALPS/Synaptics touchpad in the HP Mini 311-1000? [23:38] Jezek, you should :) === mhh91 is now known as HellRaiser [23:38] Sary: i hit forward from the "preparing to install ubuntu" screen. and all i see is the little loading icon. [23:39] do you have system profiler and benchmark installed [23:39] i dunno joeoshawa [23:39] Dwade09: see above [23:39] psionicsin, i would poke around in dmesg| grep -i dvd or cd and maybe do a ls /dev [23:39] Jordan_U I've never used Linux and, as a result, have no clue what you are talking about. [23:39] should be under applications/system tools [23:39] i dont have the items yet joeoshawa i was thinking about getting it [23:39] ahh [23:40] psionicsin, busybox is quite limited unfortunately so it's a pain to work with it [23:40] Jezek, might need to restart and start the installation again with those steps "options" [23:40] well you will need proprietary drivers [23:40] do you know what on board you have [23:40] psionicsin, never bothered to rly. understand it [23:40] joeoshawa, no i dont, [23:40] sam-_- ...I have no idea what these commands are that you all are spitting out. [23:40] Sary: now i should delete QUIET and SPLASH? [23:40] joeoshawa, it is an asus k60ij [23:40] psionicsin, but you can look in /dev/sdX /dev/hdX if your cdrom is there [23:41] psionicsin: After you get the error that no live system could be found you should be brought to a prompt. At this prompt if you type "cat /proc/partitions" (without the quotes) is there any output? [23:41] sam-_-: it'd be /dev/srX not sdX [23:41] scsi numbers cdroms separately [23:41] Jordan_U I'd have the restart to answer that [23:41] hrrmm i used nvidia hold on [23:41] what laptop [23:41] asus [23:41] k60ij [23:42] maybe someone has done it bore [23:42] psionicsin, sam-_-: it'd be /dev/srX not sdX [23:42] before [23:42] one sec [23:42] Jezek, have you run the cd as a live enviroment to make sure it runs okay? [23:42] Random832, thx [23:42] Hey all, I am attempting to use shares-admin but the share through option only has NFS and not SMB [23:42] joeoshawa, after church i was going to make a post on ubuntu if anyone has ran it before and or is now with any luck . [23:42] psionicsin, you may want to read the man pages then: http://linuxmanpages.com/man8/dmesg.8.php [23:42] thank you joeoshawa. [23:42] Sam-_- I'd have to restart again I think in order to test that [23:42] Jezek, when you boot after the installation process , hit 'e' , then navigate to "QUIET and SPLASH" Delete them and type 'nomodeset' [23:43] im trying to install RA3370 wireless network adapter driver in ubuntu 10.10, and am having trouble. can anyone help? pls PM [23:43] What is the meaning of "Failed to initiate AP scan" in /var/log/syslog? wireless doesn't work [23:43] I need some help... When I run "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl", a error comes up saying "E: Unable to locate package xserver-xgl". :/ Anyone know how to solve this? [23:43] Livin4Jesus: ask about nvidia in general [23:43] Sary: i can't finish the installation lol [23:44] Jezek, Restart the installation again .. [23:45] Well, I'm trying to get my nVidia graphics card to work, so I can use the Desktop Effects, but when I try to do it, it says "Desktop Effects could not be enabled", so that's why I'm trying to install XGL. :/ [23:45] Dwade09: that is only half the model number you know the rest [23:46] I'm trying to follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580748&highlight=install+compiz , but like I said above, it's not working. :/ [23:46] joeoshawa, that is the full model number there is no half. [23:46] !bg [23:46] опитайте #ubuntu-bg за български потребители . try #ubuntu-bg for bulgarian users, and please idle there patiently [23:46] Livin4Jesus, Did you activated the Driver . [23:46] Livin4Jesus: what graphics card do you have? [23:46] Livin4Jesus: and what version of Ubuntu are you using? [23:46] joeoshawa, its an asus k60ij series [23:46] Yeah , good Questions ..
