[00:00] I'm goin' to do a li'l bit more of Ol' Charter 101 and fergitaboutit. [00:00] boa`: that shouldn't be necessary [00:00] pretty sure i dont even have a terminal to get the rest [00:00] Hi guys. I need some help. Ever since i swapped from 10.04 to 10.10, my PC speaker keeps beeping at random intervals. It does this even if I blacklist pcspker and is not dependnet on "beep" being installed or not. What is going on because this is driving me nuts and didn't happen on 10.04 [00:00] Greez, if you have a solution for this, I'm going to definately call you "guru." [00:00] ya that didnt help at all [00:00] im root right now [00:00] and its saying insufficeint perm [00:00] right click on the file and look at its properties and see what user owns it and what group its in. [00:00] XiaolinDraconis: The minimal install CD will always install enough for a terminal, apt-get, and networking. === Raydiation1 is now known as Raydiation [00:01] country0129: I'm still not exactly sure what you're trying to do. [00:01] owner boakun [00:01] group boakun [00:01] say, could someone help me access my windows 7 shared files from my kubuntu laptop? [00:01] access read only [00:01] Gwar: did you upgrade or fresh install? [00:01] theres no terminal in my app list and xterm didnt work [00:01] others acces read only [00:01] boa`: that's the issue [00:01] Ryu_Kurisu: Fresh Install [00:01] tc1100: did you install samba? [00:01] yes [00:01] changed it to read and write no change [00:02] it can't be executed (and you couldn't make it executable) because you can only read it. [00:02] Maahes: I have homenetworking set up on a Windows7Pro Machine. It works seamlessly, of course, with other Windows machines. [00:02] XiaolinDraconis: So you are getting a GUI of some sort? [00:02] yeah i have pieces of gnome installed [00:02] Gwar: strange you have this error...mostly errors occur when I upgrade...not from fresh install... [00:02] yeah i cant even do adb devices as user [00:02] how do i fix it [00:02] I have an Ubuntu client set up on a laptop, wirelessly, that worked well with Windows Live Essentials uninstalled in the system. [00:02] Ryu_Kurisu: and I probably messed up m y smb.conf by #ing out things [00:02] XiaolinDraconis: ctrl+alt+F1 should get you to a terminal, press ctrl+alt+F7 when you want to go back to X. [00:03] tc1100: You should be able to see them if the shares are on the same network... [00:03] I HAD to install it again (reinstall) due to being extremely subservant to my wife. [00:03] i tried chmod 777 /bin/adb [00:03] didnt help [00:03] tc1100: Just insert correct password and username... [00:03] Merry Grav-mass everybody! [00:03] oh yeah forgot about the tty's [00:03] ty [00:03] Ryu_Kurisu: I see them but it asks for a user and password and I cant figure out what it wants [00:03] Maahes, i dunno what to do [00:03] country0129: so what kind of networking are you wanting to do with the ubuntu machine? Ubuntu cannot run windows live essentials, so I don't see how that's relevant [00:03] XiaolinDraconis: You're welcome. [00:03] I see all the folders from Ubuntu, but when I try to connect, insert the CORRECT password and username, it just puts it back again. [00:04] what commands do i need to get the 10.10 gnome? [00:04] I just want to access files. [00:04] Ryu_Kurisu: I dont really have a password on my windows 7 shares [00:04] Not the functions of Windows. [00:04] tc1100: Insert the user who owns them...no password... [00:04] i think its a permission error maahes [00:04] boa`: try removing all the packages installed by the zip and reinstalling it. [00:04] Ryu_Kurisu: tried that [00:04] http://www.pastebin.ca/2028565 [00:04] country0129: what version of win7 do you have? [00:05] Ryu_Kurisu, when accessing shares i always use the name and password of the user who owns them [00:05] tc1100, that was meant for u [00:05] ah [00:05] Greez: Pro [00:05] tc1100: did you try giving the user a password and try again? [00:05] Updated Pro from Home Premium. [00:06] And again and again, and again, and again, and again, Ryu [00:06] XiaolinDraconis: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:06] country0129: okay, so you want samba share. Well What can ubuntu see on the network if anything at all? [00:06] i re extraced the zip with adb in it [00:06] to ~/bin/ [00:06] Jordan_U, that wont give me all the extras like empathy and brasero? [00:06] i did chmod a+x to it [00:06] it still wont let me use it very well tho [00:06] Ryu_Kurisu: I've tried setting up a user and giving it permistions to the files and having a password but its not working [00:07] boa`: I hope you did the extraction as your normal user and not root [00:07] i did it via gui [00:07] XiaolinDraconis: It will. The "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage depends on everything in a default Ubuntu install. [00:07] tc1100: On the W7 pc right? [00:07] my windows machine: Home My Windows Network My Home under Windows Network Home, again, but when I try to access it, no joy. [00:07] so im assuing normal user [00:07] boa`: ok. [00:07] Ryu_Kurisu: yes [00:07] country0129: what happens when you try to access it? [00:07] Jordan_U, im going for minimal. all i want is gnome and firefox [00:08] How can i choose another kernel in grub2? [00:08] XiaolinDraconis: You could try ubuntu-minimal...there is a guide for it online... [00:08] i just re did it via cli [00:08] Asks for authentication, and when I give the PROPER ones, it just pops up again. [00:08] ~/bin$ unzip linux_adb_fastboot.zip [00:08] bin$ adb devices [00:08] List of devices attached [00:08] ???????????? no permissions [00:09] boa`: and sudo adb devices? [00:09] $ sudo adb devices [00:09] sudo: adb: command not found [00:09] Ryu_Kurisu, i found an ubuntu mini remix but it didnt show what it included [00:09] boa`: try this sudo /path/to/adb [00:09] im in the adb path already [00:09] I've disabled default LMTD2 ( or something like that) ages ago...only requires LMTD (1) to authenticate, disable 128 - bit encryption...still no joy. [00:09] boa`: try it anyways [00:10] i just did [00:10] XiaolinDraconis: Mini remix? [00:10] sudo /home/boakun/bin/adb devices [00:10] List of devices attached [00:10] ???????????? no permissions [00:10] boa`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:10] yes yes [00:10] tc1100: I don't know anything else you can try...sorry :) [00:10] adb is listed under group boakun [00:10] should i change it? [00:10] no [00:11] Ryu_Kurisu: at least I know I'm not crazy, I'm sure I'm missing something stupid thanks anyway [00:11] XiaolinDraconis: "GNOME" is a Desktop Environment, a set of applications including things like empathy that make up a "complete" Desktop Working environment. You're going to need to explain what subset of GNOME you want. [00:11] boa`: go to users and groups in the menu, and take a look at what your user permissions are. [00:11] country0129: Works like a charm... [00:11] tc1100: You could try to reinstall sambe...might just work... [00:11] Jordan_U, empathy cant be required for gnome to work [00:11] Ryu_Kurisu: good idea [00:11] Now, Guys/Gals, I'd Uninstalled Windows Live Essentials completely, and it, as you said, Greez, worked like a charm. But not with it back on my windows machine. [00:11] XiaolinDraconis: of courese its not.. i uninstalled empathy, all is well. [00:12] XiaolinDraconis: You don't understand, you can use any subset of GNOME you want, but you need to explain what that subset is. [00:12] tc1100: did you see country0129 posts? [00:12] country0129: I don't know about live essentials, I know I have the share mounted that's all. [00:12] country0129: at this point you may need to try ##windows and find out what may have been changed in your windows network settings. [00:12] Also about windows shares... [00:12] Jordan_U, then im lost cause i dont know what subsets i have to choose from [00:13] Hey, Greez....can you past to me, country0129@yahoo.com what the stuff is that you have as far as settings go? [00:13] i just copied it to /bin [00:13] and ran as root [00:13] List of devices attached [00:13] HT0ANRV05091 device [00:13] boa`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:13] XiaolinDraconis: are you wanting a Full Gnome Desktop environment? [00:13] Ryu_Kurisu, mini remix has a website its a project based on mini.iso only its about 160mb [00:13] the script works now [00:13] :D [00:13] country0129: join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:13] XiaolinDraconis: got a link? [00:13] does anyone know of a tool to partition a USB stick on windows? [00:14] greezmunkey: no one is going to help him with that issue in #-offtopic [00:14] darktangent: Partitioning on windows? [00:14] www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ [00:14] Of a usb? How big is it? [00:14] XiaolinDraconis: You can choose any set of applications you want, just install them individually. It sounds like you already have the gnome-panel application installed which is what gives you menus for Accessing Applications and other functions. [00:14] Ryu_Kurisu: yeah, its 2GBs [00:14] Maahes, what does that include? [00:15] There is no need or even function to partition a 2GB usb darktangent :) [00:15] darktangent: easus partition manager is free, and will probably do it... but why are you trying to partition it? [00:15] XiaolinDraconis: You probably also want network-manager-gnome if you're going to be using wireless as it will give you an applet that goes in your pannel for selecting wireless networks. [00:15] XiaolinDraconis: everything installed that's part of the Gnome Project user applications defaults. [00:15] and gnome services [00:15] You could reformat is you'd like...but that could be done with Windows darktangent [00:15] Well, Folks....I really, really appreciate your kind participation in my problems. If, perchance, I solve it, and you want the solution, my email is posted above. let me know, and I'll copy furnish it to you. May all of you have a happy holiday season, and for those of you that care, "Merry CHRISTmas!" [00:15] how can I look for a text in any folder and any file? [00:15] is there a command "croot" [00:15] to install EFI on one and unr on the other [00:15] was something like grep -i -R 'text' but isn't working [00:15] thanks [00:15] XiaolinDraconis: if you're curious as to all what's involved in the Gnome DE. Check out the gnome project page. [00:16] this mini guide says to execture 'croot' [00:16] as long as it doesnt include word processor or a web browser or any of that stuff [00:16] XiaolinDraconis: it does. [00:16] Just install applications you want. [00:16] * boa` twiddles thumbs [00:17] thats what im trying to do [00:17] XiaolinDraconis: What's stopping you? [00:18] sudo apt-get install synaptic? [00:18] That's a good way to browse for packages yes. [00:18] is that the full command? [00:18] without the ? [00:18] right [00:18] synaptic is GUI-tool for installing packages XiaolinDraconis [00:19] XiaolinDraconis, that installs a graphical package manager [00:19] in case anyone is curious im doing this in vmware [00:19] boa`: the only thing I know similar to that command is chroot [00:19] im referering to this [00:19] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10043163&postcount=4 [00:19] noonian: "A" graphical package manager :P [00:19] for a remastersys project im working on [00:20] Heh country0129 quit just as I was going to tell him how I connected to my win7 machine!! Merry Christmas :) [00:20] boa`: I think that's a typo and meant to be chroot [00:20] Maybe you could tell tc1100...when he returns :P [00:20] ? [00:21] which server offers google-earth channel please? [00:21] +google-earth IRC channel [00:21] XiaolinDraconis: Your own Ubuntu derived distro of your own? [00:21] ok well this sucks... ctrl+alt releases mouse so i cant get to a tty terminal [00:21] Ryu_Kurisu, yeah [00:21] ksbalaji: um, I have no idea, and that's not #ubuntu related use search irc or google #google-earth [00:21] What packages are you gonna install by default XiaolinDraconis? [00:22] Ryu_Kurisu, in the end i want my retro emulators and firefox plus network management i guess [00:22] XiaolinDraconis: Ctrl+Alt+1-6 [00:22] Maahes, my google-earth fonts in ubuntu lucid is horrible [00:22] Yuk, firefox xD [00:22] Why does "Search" but not "Quick search" work in Synaptic? (on a totally fresh install of 10.10) [00:22] Maahes, im using vmware to do this ctrl+alt is taken by vmware to release control of the virtual machine [00:22] !core fonts [00:23] wyclif: because quick search is bollocks [00:23] !fonts [00:23] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [00:23] ksbalaji: you want to install msttcorefonts [00:23] Maahes, I installed from repositories and need to solve fonts problem! [00:23] Maahes: The field is just greyed-out and non functional [00:23] Maahes: Oh don't get me wrong, I am a user of apt [00:24] Maahes: huh, I dunno, but really quick search isn't very good [00:24] hi all, just set up a VM and Ubuntu as OS. However I cannot get out on the internet. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? [00:24] it misses things, a lot [00:24] Maahes: but I just noticed Synaptic seems incomplete [00:24] Maahes, does it address googleearth font problem? -msttcorefonts? [00:24] ksbalaji: Most likely, yes. [00:25] danielc1234: did the network manager install? WiFi or wired? [00:25] Maahes, thanks I shall install and try. [00:26] Maahes, my synaptic does not show msttcorefonts! repository? [00:27] Ryu_Kurisu: I'm gonna be honest with you, this is the first time trying to set this up. I use Centos but want to change. in the inital install, I just let it take all the default settings. [00:27] Ryu_Kurisu, im trying to get to get to imagebin so i can show u what i want [00:27] You've run a standard desktop installation...and you've got not network danielc1234? [00:28] Ryu_Kurisu: No this is a server version 10.04 [00:28] oh crap i just realized something [00:28] even if i get to a tty in vmware i didnt get network tools installed from the mini.iso [00:28] Ryu_Kurisu: would you mind if I PM you for a quick chat? [00:28] No problem... [00:28] now im screwed [00:28] anyone know why a computer wont kick into sleep mode if totem is on, but movie has finished?? gnome-power-manager set to kick in sleep at 10 min [00:28] 2 hours wasted [00:29] Maahes, where do I get msttcorefonts pls? [00:30] needlez: Totem is still "active" even if the movie is done... [00:30] !fonts > ksbalaji [00:30] ksbalaji, please see my private message [00:31] ksbalaji, restricted extras? [00:32] Ryu_Kurisu: exactly totem doesnt close out after the movie and the computer wont kick in sleep mode cuz totem is open [00:32] Maybe you need to add a bug upstream at totem needlez [00:33] i added this to totem and to gnome-power-manager havent heard anything back from either thought maybe someone had come across this same thing and fixed it round here [00:33] Got a Xubuntu question... my mouse is not working though it does show up in Xorg.conf. Ive found the settigns for it and im sure its either the driver is wrong or the device option, though im not sure which. can anyone tell me the terminal cmnd for finding the mouse driver? [00:35] we have a big problem with ubuntu software center and apt-get on meerkat x86 [00:35] anyone up for the challenge? [00:36] perhaps #ubuntu is a bad place to be asking this, but does anyone have a suggestion regarding the path I should take to get started in the linux community? I am considering the following: A) Ubuntu running gnome B) Kubuntu C) PC-BSD [00:36] O_o [00:36] no one are you serious? [00:36] (flame suit on) sorry for noob question [00:36] xriva: depends on what you want to do with it? [00:36] just kinda do similar stuff to windows [00:36] xriva: I would just install one and try it [00:36] I need an admin please for an important bug question [00:36] browse web, work on spreadsheets [00:36] PM me please [00:36] play music [00:36] I agree with linxeh [00:37] xriva: ubuntu and kubuntu are basically the same - you can install gnome/kde on either if you want [00:37] jshmoe, explain your issue and we will do ur best to help [00:37] xriva, #ubuntu-offtopic [00:37] thx Saintly-i386 [00:37] sorry baz, will take it there [00:37] I will talk with you [00:37] xriva: pc-bsd, meh, if you want - but be prepared for a timewarp in usability [00:37] \join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:37] oops.. [00:37] LOL [00:38] @Saintly-i386, when i go to install some programs on ubuntu software center or even apt-get for that matter it hangs and then have to erase numerous lock files and then issue a apt-get --configure -a. This shouldn't be needed [00:38] This happens a lot [00:39] IT is a great hindrance [00:39] ty for that ubuntu-minimal tip earlier thats what im gonna need for now [00:39] I installed ubuntu server and chose not to set anything up besides OpenSSH. I did not set up the network at the time. When I boot up the machine (without a monitor) will it try to use DHCP or not? [00:39] Saintly-i386, have you heard of this bug or had the same problem? [00:39] jshmoe24: have you removed and then reinstalled it? and are you sure its a porgram issue, and perhaps not an issue having to do with low RAM? [00:40] after that i need gnome in all its glory but without apps like empathy [00:40] removed and reinstalled what? the program? and its not ram I have 2 gigs [00:41] Also when I go to remove the program it says "The package teamviewer6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." this happens after i do a sudo apt-get remove --purge teamviewr [00:41] I just installed Skype but it won't run...I notice there are two different kinds of Skype, the Linux v. available at their site and the one in the repos? [00:41] And it doesnt' just happen with teamviewer this is happening all the time with all different packages [00:41] jshmoe24: removed and reinstalled the software center, you can do that. lol i would suggest it if you're having issues with it installing stuff [00:42] what about apt-get ? [00:42] have you tried another package manager? i find the software center slow at the best of times. [00:42] Wow I didn't kwon that you could remove and reinstall ubuntu install center how do you do that? [00:42] Now I have a Skype icon in my menu but it won't run [00:42] apt-get, that would be a fault in python i would think, and thats something i know very little to nothing about. [00:42] also that doesn't really help with the apt-get problem [00:43] apt-get, that would be a fault in python i would think, and thats something i know very little to nothing about. [00:43] I am basically haveing to rm -r lock files and then issue a apt-get --configure -a every time Iwant to install something [00:43] Anyone know anything about properly installing Skype? I also have latest Pidgin installed [00:43] python would be a backbone to your termnal and system. thats not good. [00:44] what do you mean saintly? [00:44] wyclif: did you install the windows version or the linux version? [00:44] Linux version [00:44] both from Skype.com and the libpurple stuff available in the repos marked "skype" [00:44] I swear all these questions were asked yesterday.... it's like, dejavu... [00:45] jshmoe24: i mean that if you're havingapt-get faults and errors, then your python support is glitching [00:45] LOL unholy i know right [00:45] UnholyTerror: this whole channel is like deja-vu.. same questions, over and over and over. :) [00:45] can you suggest a lib that i need to install as far as python goes/ [00:45] Does anyone know the easiest way to configure a software RAID-1 when installing Ubuntu? [00:45] UnholyTerror: come back tomorrow, and you'll see 'em again... [00:45] Saintly-i386: Linux version, both from skype.com and from the repos...the stuff tagged as skype packages [00:45] jshmoe24: no idea, like i said i dont know about python. [00:46] Also what is the command to reinstall ubuntu install center? [00:46] greezmunkey: i'm guessing the next few days, we're gonna be flooded w/ newbs wanting to put Ubuntu on new PC's/Laptops [00:46] maybe it installed currupted [00:46] wyclif: gotcha, now you said its just not working? [00:46] KM0201: count on it, happens every year. [00:46] yup :) [00:46] KM0201: agreed, can we get paid? start paypla accts.... ROFL [00:47] Saintly-i386: IOW the python package and libpurple stuff that I guess are Pidgin plugins [00:47] Saintly-i386: lol.. [00:47] KM0201: I won't be one of em, my lemur cam preinstalled [00:47] Saintly-i386 Yes, it won't start [00:47] KM0201: It's like that with radios also, you can always tell who got a new on for Christmas (ot, I know) [00:47] itaylor57: you're one of the few. [00:47] maybe ubuntu will someday get a decent introduction/welcome screen [00:47] hmmm [00:47] greezmunkey: you mean like CB radios? [00:47] KM0201: yes [00:47] greezmunkey: oh geez, i can only imagine. [00:47] lol [00:48] Saintly-i386: The install dropped it in the start menu, but it won't start there or from the command line [00:48] wyclif: i have no idea man... ive never had any trouble with skype, but then again i left ubuntu a long tim ago, i use xubuntu now. [00:49] someone said ubuntu-minimal package... isnt that what the default options are on the mini.iso? [00:49] Saintly-i386: Thx, it's a third party package, I think lots of ppl use it no matter what distro [00:49] wyclif: skype deals with alot of server bouncing and wears a skin over it all, that about it for coding... as long as you should have internet it should work. only thing i can say wyclif is try reinstalling [00:50] sorry [00:50] wyclif: what are you talking about?.. how to install skype? [00:51] Saintly-i386: Would installing the python and libpurple packages cause a conflict with the Linux version I've downloaded from skype.com? [00:51] KM0201: hes installed it, it wont run though. [00:51] Saintly-i386: why not?... [00:51] KM0201: Can't get Skype to work on a fresh install after downloading from them and also installing packages from the repos === onlyplayragz_ is now known as onlyplayragz [00:51] wyclif: ok... "won't run".. does it not start up, or what? [00:52] KM0201: its in his start menu as a pauncher, just wont fire up, i guess... [00:52] KM0201: Won't start up from command line or menu [00:52] wyclif: cuz skype has had some issues the last few days. [00:52] wyclif: ok.. do you get any error when you try to start it in terminal? [00:52] KM0201: not a service issue, I'm pretty sure it's my issue-- installation [00:53] KM0201: ty, im stumped on on launcher programs, my strong area is the device managing, and getting broken things to work :D cuz ive had SOO many issues of my own there [00:53] Good (UGT) night y'all :) (And merry Christmas to who ever want it :P) [00:53] i have an iso of Ubuntu 10.10. can i just burn it to a cd using brasero? [00:53] im installing ubuntu-minimal from mini.iso and i want to select gdm along with all 3 window managers (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu) [00:54] KM0201: error: while loading shared libraries: LibQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared libraries [00:54] well there's the problem [00:54] Merry Christmas Ryu [00:54] wyclif: what version of ubuntu? [00:54] KM0201: 10.10 [00:54] wyclif: 32bit [00:54] ? [00:54] KM0201: 32 bit, fresh install [00:54] and you downloaded the .deb from Skype.comm? [00:55] KM0201: affirmative, the .deb package [00:55] wyclif: k, hang on [00:56] !skype [00:56] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [00:56] KM0201: I appreciate it, I am iffy on the issue of conflicting libraries [00:56] wyclif: are you using ubuntu, or kubuntu? [00:56] KM0201: ubuntu 10.10 [00:57] how do I change my DNS or resolve? when I try to upgrade or update it is giving me an error about resolving. [00:58] need more details than that [00:58] wyclif: open synaptic... and search for this package and see if its installed libqt4-dbus [00:58] wass up [00:58] hi KM0201 === UNBELIEVABLE is now known as mister_jibs [00:58] yo [00:58] howdy alexander [00:59] merry x-mas [00:59] linux: merry christmas to you also [00:59] i just installed ubuntu [00:59] KM0201: and guess what, as soon as I ran Synaptic it told me I had a broken package =) [00:59] linux: that is painfully obvious from your username.. :) [00:59] this is the error..."W: Failed to fetch http://security,ubuntu.com.... Could not resolve 'username@wrong.com' === alexander is now known as pops [01:00] KM0201, hi km [01:00] wyclif: i'm guessing you don't have all the repositories for that..

[01:01] r007, only because i have files saved there [01:01] KM0201: ok, done...no icon in the start menu though [01:01] is everyone using xchat.. or a different client? [01:01] KM0201, there are five choices. The only one that sounds like windows is the fifth, but it's like "windows recovery ode" [01:01] no dns issues then otherwise ping would not resolve try updating again [01:01] KM0201: removed skype [01:01] linux, xchat myself [01:01] pops: ok, hang on a sec [01:02] is that the mirc for linux? [01:02] good evening, i was trying to reactivate remote access on my machine after some time of not using it and now it does not start vnc server. I open vino-settings and click on allow other users to... but nmap says, there is no open port 5900. Any ideas? [01:02] wyclif: ok.. search for package libqt4-dbus [01:02] pops you dont need windows Linux can read windows file systems [01:02] or is there an other more popular client? [01:02] and see if its available in synaptic [01:02] linux, if you're in ubuntu it's already there [01:02] r007, i can get my files back? [01:02] KM0201: bash: /usr/bin/skpe: no such file or directory [01:02] r007: using...sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and then get taht error [01:02] linux: smuxi or irssi [01:02] pops yeah [01:02] wyclif: stop for a sec, and just look and see if that file is in synaptic [01:03] r007, does it go into the windows partition and copy them to ubuntu? [01:03] KM0201: Ok... [01:03] pops: your files shouldn't be gone... unless you did something [01:03] pops no you just see them like a drive [01:03] pops: you told me yesterday, linux and windows booted fine [01:04] you have any non default repos enabled? [01:04] KM0201: yes, it's checked [01:04] KM0201, i dont remember saying that i could get back to windows after getting ubuntu [01:04] KM0201, maybe i just glanced at the windows option last time [01:04] wyclif: is it installed? [01:04] KM0201, and now im realizing it doesnt look like a normal windows session [01:04] r007: very new to this OS, used centos in past. If they are enabled, I didnt do it. [01:04] pops: ok, just hang on a minute, [01:05] KM0201: I checked it and applied all upgrades [01:05] ok. [01:05] when its done, you'll have to reinstall skype, and i'm guessing it will work [01:05] r007: during install I set a user name like username@wrongsite.com should the @ be this server? [01:05] KM0201: doing that now...brb [01:05] ok [01:06] yes thats what it cant resolve the wrong.com just add an entry in /etc/hosts for wrong.com to localhost [01:07] man this mini.iso takes forever getting to the package selection [01:07] XiaolinDraconis: well its doing everything via the internet, what do you expect.. it has to download all the packages, then install them.. it's gonna take longer [01:08] KM0201: Installed! Deep thanks...I kind of know what gtk does but I'll try to figure out what I did wrong now =) [01:08] yay todays xkcd is about linux! [01:08] pops: I saw that too...funny [01:08] KM0201, yeah i know but its only utilizing 1 percent of my bandwidth at the moment [01:08] sudo reports to ME [01:08] r007: I do not see the wrong.com in the host file, it is showing localhost [01:08] ub 10.04 -- can I do something to hide all the icons on my desktop -- showing off to newbie [01:08] XiaolinDraconis: well.. it can only go as fast as the server goes.. and i'm sure they aren't set up to let you download at 20mbps [01:09] just add a line 127.0.0.1 wrong.com [01:09] r007: but that wrong.com is really our live site on another server. [01:09] r007: would you mind if I PM you?

[01:11] tripelb, press alt+f2 and paste this "gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false" [01:11] KM0201: Haven't used in the past few days but I heard they had a total outage for a day or so [01:11] hey i have a question about ubuntu one [01:11] if i wanna sync folders between windows and my ubuntu machine [01:11] do they have to fall within the cloud storage space limit? [01:12] wyclif: yup.. i called the "Test Call" the other day cuz i reinstalle don my netbook... and it took like 15min to get through to test call..lol [01:12] tripelb, replace false with true to get them back [01:12] or will it automatically sync them regardless [01:12] not sure tbh give me a sec [01:12] EkN77: I'd rather use firefox or googlechrome, not sure what else there is that compairs to either of those [01:12] nenuité tlm [01:12] * greezmunkey considers hanging up Skype call to make room for wyclif...Naa. [01:13] when did you set the username? [01:14] r007: just a few minutes ago when I installed the OS. [01:14] KM0201: Test call...success. Glad to see they solved that problem. [01:14] your hostname?

[01:14] I named it webserver2 [01:15] if i wanna sync folders between windows and my ubuntu machine do they have to fall within the cloud storage space limit? or will it automatically sync them regardless [01:15] r007: which I see in the hosts file [01:15] !list [01:15] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [01:15] strange problem here.... sudo do-release-upgrade == no new release found lsb release == karmic [01:15] i already did a dist-upgrade [01:15] sigh...

[01:16] r007: webserver2 [01:17] AgrahamDesktop: why do you need main server to do sunchronization? [01:17] ? [01:17] i'm saying i DONT need cloud storage to do synchronization [01:17] but i wanna know if ubuntu one will do it [01:17] and when i say synchronization i mean updating so i dont have to manually update changed files [01:18] basically windows live mesh, except not on only windows [01:18] so what stage did you sert user@wrong.com? [01:18] *set [01:19] r007: I really dont recall, just at one of the start up steps [01:19] AgrahamDesktop: No clue about ubuntu one. === michael is now known as Guest47271 [01:19] heh well do you know of any tools that can be used crossplatform? [01:20] dropbox [01:20] dropbox wont let me sync more than 2gb without paying [01:20] what for？ [01:20] i dont want cloud storage [01:20] i just want to sync my files between my computers [01:20] <[thor]> AgrahamDesktop: rsync? [01:20] AgrahamDesktop: unison, but bash is better [01:21] i couldnt figure out how to get unison to work tbh :\ [01:21] and by bash you mean just using rsync ? [01:21] AgrahamDesktop: me too [01:21] whats before your $ in the terminal? [01:21] or # [01:21] it is what I used to set up a user [01:21] AgrahamDesktop: unison is pretty easy to use. Just tell it what files you want to sync and run unison-gtk if you want a gui [01:22] AgrahamDesktop: no, scp (need to build good script to wath folder for changes) [01:22] AgrahamDesktop, you should look for some Dropbox alternative involving using your own server at home... if you can do that [01:22] dropbox alternative using my own sserver? [01:23] <[thor]> :/ [01:23] and what is scp shcherbak? [01:23] i'm having issues with the synaptics touchpad on my laptop.. it doesn't seem to respond to 25% of my taps.. [01:23] <[thor]> AgrahamDesktop: man scp [01:25] AgrahamDesktop: spc for transfer (you can get shell for windows too), ls, grep to biult list of files, awk, diff to make sure that there are shadows copy and that nothing will be overwritten [01:25] *build* [01:25] another question, what do you guys use as a full featured music player, including library organizing options, ratings, and possibly even mobile device syncing [01:25] AgrahamDesktop: you don't want to reinvent the wheel, just use unison or rsync [01:25] rsync ftw [01:26] AgrahamDesktop: moc, mpd [01:26] cut out the middle man :) [01:26] OUBABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII [01:26] OUBABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII [01:26] onlyplayragz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:27] can i get "Places" on my panel without the rest of the menu? [01:27] XiaolinDraconis: doubtful [01:27] r007: would you mind if I PM you? [01:28] lol @moc music on console [01:28] ^^ check yours [01:29] XiaolinDraconis, what do you mean? [01:29] * skraito say hi all [01:29] can i get someone to pm me with help on installing packages with mini.iso [01:30] UnholyTerror, the default panel has that menu [01:30] UnholyTerror, with Apps Places System [01:30] UnholyTerror, all i want is places drop down [01:30] Jordan_U: are you around? [01:31] Okay. So. I have a partition on my Linux drive that I use on my Windows drive. I had to reinstall Linux, and now the partition isn't recognised by Windows. I asked around, and I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the MBR being rewritten and not with Windows. [01:31] Does anybody have any idea what might have caused it? [01:31] or should I find a grub channel to ask in [01:31] XiaolinDraconis, right-click on the menu and choose edit... uncheck what yo don't want. [01:31] <[thor]> AgrahamDesktop: i use banshee mostly [01:31] curtmack: reinstalling fgrub to the MBR would not make a partition unreadable. [01:31] curtmack: check with sudo fdisk -l, to see if the partition is there. [01:31] curtmack: then try to mount it. [01:31] !mount [01:31] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [01:31] It's still there, Ubuntu sees it just fine [01:32] UnholyTerror, you dont get what i mean [01:32] but Windows can't, it says the drive isn't formatted [01:32] curtmack: what filesystem is the thing? [01:32] NTFS [01:32] and it worked fine before I reinstalled [01:33] Dr_Willis: do you know much about grub2... grub2 is booting a Win recovery mode(sda1) and i need i to boot the normal "C:" which is sda3 [01:33] when I installed, I reformatted one of the other partitions, that might also have something to do with it [01:33] XiaolinDraconis, I do, I just thought you could uncheck the main headings as well... sorry [01:34] hi, my webcam was working a couple of days ago and now it's not being listed as a device in cheese/skype, does anyone have any pointers? it's built into the laptop so i can't watch dmesg as i unplug/plug it back in [01:34] UnholyTerror, ic but no im sure that doesnt work [01:34] anyone here know how to modify plymouth to look nice or get rid of plymouth and load up grub2 without messing up the whole system [01:35] ?? [01:35] UnholyTerror, besides i think gnomenu depends on what is checked in that list [01:35] XiaolinDraconis, hold a sec... [01:35] hmm, I ran fdisk -l, and on the partition in question, the # of blocks has a + after it [01:36] is that a problem? [01:36] 1 hour later and mini.iso is 90% done with base system install [01:36] man i love old pc's [01:38] anyone here know how to modify plymouth to look nice or get rid of plymouth and load up grub2 without messing up the whole system?? [01:38] ooh pick me i do i do [01:38] needlez, go gnome-look.org and search plymouth === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [01:39] theres a plymouth splash changing app there [01:39] plus some decent screens to choose from [01:39] done this and loaded up plymouth stuff thru that and didnt work at all still got a ugly purple screen [01:39] oooh you might have that problem i was reading about [01:40] does ubuntu show up in real big letters on that purple screen [01:40] no normal letters, just when closing displays text and screen is black [01:40] audience gasps [01:41] lol [01:41] What does it mean when fdisk -l puts a + after the number of blocks on a partition? [01:41] the man page doesn't say anything [01:41] but yeah i dont know anything about that [01:41] grapics card is a nvidia 310M with noueavu drivers, its an i7 core computer and running ubuntu 10.10 [01:42] hmm the problem i was referring to involves nvidia [01:42] hi, my webcam was working a couple of days ago and now it's not being listed as a device in cheese/skype, does anyone have any pointers? it's built into the laptop so i can't watch dmesg as i unplug/plug it back in [01:42] Following up with 'fan always on problem'. I was hoping that adding acpi_osi=Linux to GRUB CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. But no luck. Anyone help please. Googleing show many people having the problem with 10.10 [01:42] prolly is my nvidia card [01:42] it always was retarded [01:43] google ubuntu 10.10 plymouth nvidia [01:43] might find something there [01:43] kk gonna try that then [01:43] thanx [01:43] np [01:44] I'm setting up the computer end of 3 store franchise deli... Im going with Asterisk for the phone systems. If i wanted to allow customers to place orders online is there any open source programs that can handle that? [01:45] question: what is that command line bittorrent client called? [01:46] I am wondering what I type in to see how much storage I have left [01:46] cgcardona: df [01:46] I want to run bittorrent on the command line, what package should I use? [01:46] it gives you a usage %, subtract from 100 [01:47] df -h gives you numbers in MB, GB, etc [01:47] curtmack: thanks what does that stand for? [01:47] fs [01:47] uh, I have no clue [01:47] hehe [01:47] disk files maybe? [01:47] cool [01:47] the -h is human readable but good question about df [01:47] VSD20C: You can start here: http://www.myfreepos.net/ - (not an endoursement) [01:48] cool [01:48] well that was what I was looking for [01:48] thanks ;) [01:48] and happy holidays all! [01:48] merry xmas [01:48] cgcardona: df - display free disk space [01:48] merry messmess [01:48] darkwurm: thanks [01:49] XiaolinDraconis, wondering if this is what you're looking for: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ [01:50] greezmunkey: gracias should work === jmad980 is now known as MallSanta [01:51] is anybody available? [01:51] billson take a ticket we will call your number when we are ready :) [01:52] how do I go about that haha [01:52] billson just ask lol [01:52] I don't have any problems really, I just want to figure out how to set up my panels like this [01:52] wyclif: rtorrent [01:53] http://www.gaia10.us/wp-content/uploads/LinuxSprout.jpg [01:53] UnholyTerror, im not sure what that does exactly but it doesnt quite look like what i want [01:53] someone knows a similar program to nLite but for linux? [01:53] billson no probs sorry cant help you dont really use gui much [01:53] XiaolinDraconis, hmmmm..... [01:53] oh alright [01:53] globus: err thats pointless [01:54] UnholyTerror, if that does just what the screenshot shows then its not for me [01:54] globus: if you want the lightest, use the minimal or server iso and build from there [01:54] globus: then remastersys the install (or clonezilla) [01:54] basically i just want my nautilus bookmarks on my panel [01:54] billson: panels or windows decoration [01:55] panels [01:55] like the top panel bar [01:56] billson, you want Docky [01:56] oh the blue panel [01:56] yeah, I could have figured out the dock but I want the panel at the top [01:56] its transparent [01:57] the nice transparent look that doesn't look ridiculous [01:57] XiaolinDraconis, even if it does what you need, it still looks to 'big' to jus disable a few main menus. [01:57] billson thats not ubuntu [01:58] r007, ???? [01:58] yeah i figured but i'm sure i can get my panel set up like that in ubuntu [01:58] billson well not the latest at least thats an unbranded gnome [01:58] ooh yeah [01:58] billson probably a theme [01:59] billson, transparent panel doesnt do it for u? [01:59] * skraito say hi all [01:59] I installed ubuntu as I give, use the whole system and removed all partitions. Now I tried to install Windows XP writes the hard disk does not see my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L40 14n and therefore needs a program to do Windows [01:59] well i can make my panel slightly transparent but the menu and icons on the panel still have the black surrounding them [01:59] and it looks all clunky and not as smooth as that picture [02:00] globus windows does not recognise an ext file system [02:01] billson: it's just a theme, find the theme ;) [02:01] what do I do now? [02:01] a [02:02] How could i see my gfx cards chipset? [02:02] r007 what do I do now? [02:02] well i downloaded a theme and used emerald theme manager and it set up the windows like it is in that picture but [02:02] globus make a ntfs partition for windows [02:02] but the panels stayed the same [02:02] what exactly is top? [02:02] billson: It's called Sprout, it's a theme: http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/GAIA-Sprout-179554275 [02:02] herro: in a terminal type: lspci | grep -i vga [02:03] yeah i installed that theme and it didn't change the panels only the windows [02:03] cgcardona_, process monitor? [02:03] ok and the interface? [02:03] like pci 2.0 [02:04] r007: and a million times more informative :P [02:04] darkwurm so true [02:04] Windows needs to do, someone knows a similar program to nLite but on ubuntu [02:05] Hi, I'm having an issue with Frigg, at first when I connected to IRC Freenode automatically Frigg appears. But actually it doesn't appears. What can I do? [02:05] billson: on this page are the panel instructions: http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/ffuu-171639096 [02:05] alright thanks! [02:05] /join #Frigg [02:08] help me, how to install file tar.gz2 more easy without using terminal????? [02:08] thian you cant install tar.gz2 its an archive [02:08] Soooo tar.gz2 is not something you install, it's an archive, akin to .ziip [02:09] *.zip [02:09] thian and if you dont know that dont bother installing from source get a .deb [02:09] thian: there really is no "easy" way to install from a tar file.... [02:09] thian: what are you trying to install from source [02:09] hi [02:10] thian installing from source can be a ball ache if your experienced with Linux not recommended for noobs [02:10] hi unrealjeff [02:10] thian: what are you trying to install from source? [02:10] KM0201: that's not true, most of the time it's only a couple commands, not exactly hard. Something tells me he doesn't have a xorg tree tucked away in that tar.gz2 [02:10] ubuntu is the best [02:11] where is the ubuntu-minimal package? im installing from mini.iso [02:11] darkwurm it all depends on dependencies [02:11] darkwurm: it's not hard, when you have all the dependencies, tracking down dependencies is the issue..... [02:11] ./make make install usually does it but.... [02:11] how would i see what pci slot i have? [02:11] darkwurm: and if it "wasn't hard"... then everyone would use slackware cuz its so freaking fast [02:11] herro take the side of your pc [02:12] ? [02:12] i got 2 slots [02:12] KM0201: slackware is hardly compile only ;) [02:12] put idk if its pci 2.0 x16 [02:12] or w/e they call it [02:12] darkwurm: quite a bit of it is though [02:12] herro, u have to be a tech guy to id those things [02:13] herro in your motherboard manual then [02:13] >.< i could on windows easily [02:13] or find pictures on google and compare [02:13] hello people [02:13] i have an new os to add to my computer ,,but how can i edit the grub [02:13] were talking nvideo 8600 do you know how many types of those they made? [02:13] herro this is not windows [02:13] O really? [02:13] I cant create folders in one of my hard drives , its owner is root , how do i change ownershit to user? [02:13] i have read some article in PCos 3D that we can install file tar.gz by using point click,but they dont show what is the names of this software,can you help me?? [02:13] who can help me [02:14] thian no you cant [02:14] globus: you mean like auto install like this? https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/powerpc/automatic-install.html [02:14] thian you can extract it using point and click [02:14] how?? [02:14] thian: double click it and extract it... but thats not gonna do anything [02:14] thian google is your friend [02:15] drag n drop and u need to know where the files need dropped [02:15] yes i have search it but i dont know the name of the software [02:15] KM0201: You can install slackware just fine no compiles required just the same as any distro these days. But there is no difference compiling from one distro to another. configure will for the most part tell you what your missing if anything so to be honest unless it's something compilcated it should be no more/less hard to install from a tar than anything else. [02:15] XiaolinDraconis, still looking...

[02:27] wkakak [02:27] :) [02:27] kk9822, "wine /home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe" should work [02:28] globus already told you you need to format a ntfs partition for windows it dont see ext [02:28] hi [02:28] no it gives error what i typed earliearzykotick [02:28] chmod +x '/home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe [02:28] when i choose the gnome-core package it wants to add a set of apps like its own web browser and stuff [02:28] kk9822, you're error seems to be from GUI [02:29] you probably have to sudo it [02:29] kk9822, you don't need to sudo wine stuff! [02:29] so pl give exactly what i should type in terminal pl [02:29] to chmod you do [02:29] hi. my ubuntu on hard drive is unaccessible, im trying to save my files in that partition which i can't access from windows because some of the folders require permission. Any idea how i can copy my files to windows partition? [02:29] chmod +x '/home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe [02:29] ok [02:29] And shouldn't sudo wine stuff. [02:29] without the ' at the beginning of the path [02:30] r007 gparted can be? [02:30] didnt say sudo stuff said sudo for chmod [02:30] globus yeas use gparted [02:30] r007 thanks bro [02:30] globus: if you want to install windows also as dual boot you should install that first, then install ubuntu, make sure before you install unbuntu the you leave an UNUSED partition that ubuntu will see and identify as where you want to install it. [02:31] Are there any mdadm RAID gurus here? My Raid 1 keeps screwing up on boot...and it's not the usual mdadm.conf errors [02:32] kk9822: you could just 'wine //home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe [02:32] kk9822: you could just 'wine /home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe' [02:32] not if its not executable he cant [02:32] r007: yes he can. [02:32] globus: use partition magic or use the ubuntu live boot cd and run gparted to resize the partitions to provide the needed space of at least 12 Gb for a ubuntu install [02:33] r007: yes he can [02:33] the executable thing for wine. is actually for the wine launcher front end.. [02:33] hello. i apologize if this is a dumb question, but how can i add another user to my computer un ubuntu 20.04? [02:33] fairy muff windows noobs :) [02:33] 10.04** [02:33] cr215: 20.04? that's a long way off [02:33] you must have the pre beta alpha [02:33] cr215: sudo adduser billgates (for example) [02:33] it says thischmod: cannot access `/home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe\n \nwine': No such file or directory [02:33] cr215: theres some gui tools for it in the admin menu. [02:34] hi. my ubuntu on hard drive is unaccessible, im trying to save my files in that partition which i can't access from windows because some of the folders require permission. Any idea how i can copy my files to windows partition? [02:34] kk9822: you did a typo some how.. \n \n ? dosent make sence [02:34] chantal1987: are you on a live cd? [02:34] a space after .exe [02:35] chantal1987: use a live CD. Windows can't access ubuntu's filesystem [02:35] kk9822: use the TAB key to complete filenames. [02:35] when i typed [02:35] chmod: cannot access `/home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe\n \nwine': No such file or directory [02:35] this message came [02:35] kk9822: what was the EXACT command you used.. === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [02:35] did you actually try making it executable [02:35] 'wine /home/kk9822/Downloads/mt4setup.exe [02:36] it's the ` backtick [02:36] he needs to remove it [02:36] kk9822: you got an extra ' you dont need [02:36] ok i will check [02:37] what do i need to select to have the GDM login screen gnome panels nautilus a terminal wireless network and firefox!!! [02:37] sry [02:38] but this thing is confusing [02:38] thanks it did [02:38] XiaolinDraconis: your question is confuseing.... [02:38] that is great [02:38] i know but ive asked it plainly 14 times [02:38] hi [02:38] sry u might not have been here [02:38] XiaolinDraconis: the package name would be ubuntu-desktop if I understand your question. [02:38] thats too many apps [02:38] XiaolinDraconis: For the love of all that is holy just install the desktop version and uninstall the stuff you don't want, that will be faster for you I think [02:38] XiaolinDraconis: fire up the pacakge manager and install what you want then. [02:38] that comes with rythmbox and empathy [02:39] ubuntu-desktop installs everything like open office etc also [02:39] im using mini.iso [02:39] Maahes: I still can't copy the files in the permission folder. how do i bypass that. i am on live cd now. [02:39] i would use the package manager if someone could help me pick the gnome desktop [02:39] hmm, gnome-desktop maybe is what you want but that installs a few extra apps also [02:39] apt-cache search is our friend, :) [02:39] !find gnome-panel [02:39] Found: gnome-panel, gnome-panel-data, gnome-panel-dbg [02:39] apt-cache search gnome [02:40] !find nautilus [02:40] Found: nautilus-gksu, nautilus-sendto, libnautilus-burn-dev, libnautilus-burn4, nautilus-actions, nautilus-arista, nautilus-bzr, nautilus-cd-burner, nautilus-clamscan, nautilus-filename-repairer (and 23 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nautilus&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all [02:40] actually i think theres a gnome meta package as well.. [02:40] chantal1987: what "permission" folder ? [02:40] Dr_Willis: there would have to be [02:40] gnome-desktop-environment is what you want I believe. now figure out what that includes [02:40] sry ill brb [02:40] christmas ham calls attention [02:41] lol [02:41] meta packages pulling in other meta packages... its such a - less then optimal - system [02:41] chantal1987: that is, is it a windows folder or an ubuntu folder? [02:41] dont burn the dinner [02:41] Ham - eat it cold! :) [02:42] Dr_Willis: it does seems trange [02:42] apart from empathy which he can remove after I don't see anything else that he wouldn't want [02:42] KM0201: yea the whole way meta packages work.. is well. a bit of a kludge. can cause issues [02:42] Only NTFS I do for Windows? [02:42] IdleOne: there is lots not to want in gnome. like..gnome. [02:42] Dr_Willis: agreed... [02:43] Maahes: go back to your kde :) [02:43] IdleOne: I don't normally use a DE [02:43] kde sucks [02:43] AwesomeWM + GTK. [02:43] kde in 10.10 is quite useable.. [02:43] Maahes: it's a ubuntu folder with permission [02:43] Dr_Willis: compared to? an abacus? [02:43] hi dr willis [02:43] gobus: ntfs is find for windows, for ubuntu you will leave un partitioned (deleted) [02:43] sorry i started the DE war. let's stop before we go to offtopic :) [02:43] kde makes me weep for the future of our children === manbra is now known as Oedipus [02:43] KM0201: compared to all the other os's out. [02:43] guis suck tbh but at least gnome is minimal [02:44] Dr_Willis: well.. all i'll say.. Thank God for choice....lol [02:44] i still cant fully install the prog [02:44] minimal - a buzzword that means very little. [02:44] Maahes: im on live cd. trying to copy my Desktop folder to windows partition. but im getting error about permission. [02:44] chantal1987: that computer is not actively running its OS right? In other words, you're running from a live CD and you have mounted a hard drive that is not running any Operating System, be it windows or Ubuntu, right now? [02:45] it says terminal .exe failed status c0000135 [02:45] what is this === Oedipus is now known as manbra [02:45] chantal1987: quick and dirty way... in a terminal gksudo nautilus choose the partition that your ubuntu is install, navigate to desktop, and copy/paste what you need on the xp partition... [02:45] kk9822: what said that exactly? [02:45] ok im back [02:45] what was that about apt cache [02:45] apt-cache <3 [02:45] XiaolinDraconis: apt-cache show gnome-desktop-environment [02:45] gobus: example /dev/sda1 100gb ntfs, dev/sda2 12 gb unused, the size you setup for what you need in ntfs and ubuntu is up to you [02:46] apt-cache search [02:46] the programme which i run metatrader 4 [02:46] Maahes: ok will try that [02:46] XiaolinDraconis: if that is not what you want exactly I'm afraid there isn't anything that you want. [02:46] kk9822: not all windows exe's will work in wine. thats just life. [02:46] is it possible to upgrade from 9.10? or do i have to reinstall from an iso ? [02:46] oooo [02:46] sudo apt-cash install money --target my_wallet. [02:46] Godslastering: you can upgrade to 10.04 [02:47] ok can u tell how to work some of the pda prog to run which mainly uses windows [02:47] pl [02:47] IdleOne: thats as far as i can go without a fresh isntall? [02:47] i guess i have to do gnome de and remove the other bits later [02:47] Apple Newton 1993- $50 (Hollywood, CA) http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/sys/2123279798.html [02:47] kk9822: no idea what you are talking about. sorry. [02:47] does that come with nautilus? [02:47] Godslastering: after that you can go to 10.10 [02:47] kk9822: that sentence doesn't make any sense. [02:47] oops [02:47] Godslastering: if you want to go directly to 10.10 you need to do a fresh install [02:47] see i want to work with some share trading softwares [02:47] IdleOne: that works, do i just replace the karmic with...whatever 10.04 is and update-upgrade-dist-upgrade? [02:48] ciao a tutti ;) [02:48] IdleOne: in the sources list? [02:48] Godslastering, no [02:48] kk9822 if it uses dot net forget about wine [02:48] bazhang: ah how do i do this then? [02:48] JesusFreak316: interesting choice of a name. [02:48] <_Tristan> I just got ip information for a server that I'm going to send off to a colocation center. How should I configure the os? http://pastebin.ca/2028614 [02:48] Godslastering: no, open Update manager and it should offer to upgrade to 10.04 [02:48] !upgrade | Godslastering check this [02:48] Godslastering check this: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:48] no it is .com [02:48] XiaolinDraconis: Are you still on about that? Seriously, don't install a meta package, don't install a full DE at all, just install gtk applications you like. If you want to use some of the base gnome services: gnome-power-manager gnome-session-manager gnome-volume-manager and all their prerequisites. [02:49] kk9822 .net as in m$ programming [02:49] km0201? [02:49] ok [02:49] Coolslai: sup [02:49] kk9822 might be worth trying mono if it is [02:49] what about mfc93.dll [02:49] files [02:50] km0201 lol yay! nm srry i wasnt on last night, i had to clean and i have to go to church in 2 hours so yeah [02:50] kk9822: are you trying to run windows applications in ubuntu? If so: you need wine. OR You need mono and the MS libraries for mono [02:50] ok so what do i need to start with? i just want to be able to boot up and open synaptic [02:50] km0201 currently i am on my home computer [02:50] XiaolinDraconis, http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ [02:50] Coolslai: ok.. i take it the other is still fubar? [02:50] this crazy apt cache is hurting my gui sensitive eyes [02:50] i am using ubuntu and running windows applications [02:50] kk9822 if its complaining about dll get the dll and put it in the fake program files dir and use an overide [02:50] XiaolinDraconis: so you haven't built any root install at all yet? You're just using say minimal with nothing else? [02:50] XiaolinDraconis, thanks for the --->gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false<-- help. Laughing cause it's so not obvious. I need to learn how to do an alias in shell. I used to know how but that was decades ago. [02:50] XiaolinDraconis: if you 'sudo apt-get install synaptic' it will pull in the stuff needed to run synaptic... [02:51] km0201, havent hooked it up yet, i have to clean my room b4 i can work on it >.< lol [02:51] can u pl give terminal command pl [02:51] im still in the mini.iso setup nothing is installed at all [02:51] Coolslai: wel, i'll be up another few hours, and gone all day tomorrow if you want help [02:51] any one from asia down here ? [02:51] but it shouldnt be that hard [02:51] km0201 and tomorrows christmas so gotta work on it after [02:51] Coolslai: ok.. no hurry... we can do i sunday if you like... i'm on vacation till next wed. [02:51] XiaolinDraconis: you want a power manager, a volume manager (ivman), and a session manager, maybe, and then install synaptic and it will pull everything else down [02:51] km0201 well, i have ubuntu dual booted on this computer [02:51] then you can choose to run whatever window manager you want [02:51] Coolslai: ok. [02:52] km0201 sunday should be fine, or monday [02:52] skraito, offtopic here [02:52] I recommend AwesomeWM or wmii, personally. [02:52] !info wmx [02:52] Package wmx does not exist in maverick [02:52] Coolslai: ok.. just PM me here, or hit me up on hotmail, and we'll square the ohter one away. [02:52] the other one will be fun.. :) [02:52] km0201 okay , no problem (: [02:52] i dont think i've ever dealt w/ a PC that couldn't boot USB, Floppy, CD or Network..lol [02:53] KM0201: that's called a locked down PC. :) You might be able to override its bios settings [02:53] lol.. [02:53] Maahes: naa, cd drive is fubar... to old to support network or usb booting [02:53] km0201 you havent worked with many pcs then [02:53] KM0201, or reprogram the BIOS somehow? (jtag?) [02:54] Maahes: we're gonna pull the hard drive, put it in a working PC... install ubuntu, then put it back in the fubar one. [02:54] KM0201: and floppy? [02:54] Maahes: no floppy drive [02:54] r007: lol, i've built PC's for almost 10yrs [02:54] .....why do you need this machine again? :P [02:54] Maahes: it was just given to him, and he wants to try ubuntu on it [02:54] it's just installing will be tricky [02:55] KM0201: if we ever find someone that can't boot with usb,floopy, cd or network, I would like to try this plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [02:55] booting with usb depends on mobo [02:55] not much these days fair enough [02:55] sacarlson: unfortunately right now, the system is not bootable... because he tried dual booting and fubared windows... its a long story, i came in after the fubar [02:55] km0201 i need the server info, ima put it into my mIRC [02:56] km0201 ex: port # [02:56] Coolslai: what server? you're here [02:56] yeah, KM0201 I'd just go out and buy a new CD rom or floppy drive. Because you can go and install everything via another machine and put it back: But it's likely half your drivers will be missing, including network drivers. And then you'll have to find those packages, take the drive out again, manually extract them to the directory paths, and then put it back in, so now you can download the other drivers necessary. oi [02:56] KM0201: well if windows was working to some small degree it can also install plop [02:56] km0201 whats building pcs got to do with administrating them anyway [02:56] lol this is the freenode chat, you have to have an irc server setup somewhere. km0201 [02:56] hello. i installed 10.10 and scheduled a shutdown using 'shutdown -r' at a particular time but forced my computer off before that time. now i cannot login into that 10.10 because the shutdown is still running. how can i cancel this? [02:57] Coolslai: nope, i just hang out here. but we can do a private room, or do it by MSN.. doesn't matter [02:57] any good app to shrink hard drive space? [02:57] r007: my point is, i'm well aware of his problem after talking to him extensively yesterday [02:57] no lol you dont understand me. who haves "OPs" here? [02:57] no lol you dont understand me. who haves "OPs" here? km0201 [02:57] Coolslai: there's lots of OPS here? why? [02:58] Coolslai: Ops are semi secret until someone does something stupid. [02:58] km0201, i need the port number and the server name [02:58] XiaolinDraconis, http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ [02:58] Coolslai: hold on [02:58] maahes, i need the port number and the server name === fly is now known as Guest76120 === dnivra_ is now known as dnivra [02:58] km0201 ok ty [02:58] Hello [02:58] Coolslai: irc.freenode.org/6667 [02:58] Coolslai: irc.ubuntu.com/8001 [02:58] thats what i use [02:58] Both of those are valid === Guest76120 is now known as fly2mauis [02:59] i don't realy know why you'd need that though, but go figure [02:59] to pwn your box [02:59] r007: lol, if he wants to. [02:59] KM0201: He might be using the Webchat [02:59] trying now [03:00] km0201 maahes i am [03:00] Maahes: maybe [03:00] I got a real problem here. [03:00] hello. i installed 10.10 and scheduled a shutdown using 'shutdown -r' at a particular time but forced my computer off before that time. now i cannot login into that 10.10 because the shutdown is still running. how can i cancel the shutdown?

[03:00] is their not a program to graphically edit what partionts can be mounted in ubunt [03:00] it started like phy [03:00] pyh [03:00] its some program i used i cant remember the full name [03:01] klay: gparted. [03:01] dnivra, you used crontab? [03:01] not that simple [03:01] its installed by default [03:01] it was a little more detailed then gparted [03:01] gparted ainmt default in lucid [03:01] klay: how? [03:01] it had to do something with editing your fstab graphically [03:01] dnivra hard reboot it [03:01] zoug, no. from a terminal, i ran 'sudo shutdown -r 07:50' but i didn't cancel the shutdown before powering off the system. [03:01] klay: python-fstab [03:01] i used it awhile ago when i rebuilt my machine [03:02] no not really [03:02] pySDM [03:02] dnivra, just pkill shutdown from another tty? [03:02] i think it was some other phy thing [03:02] r007, well i tried powering off the normal way but it logged me out. i wasn't able to login so i hard rebooted it. but the shutdown is still running!! [03:02] klay: search in Synaptic Package Manager [03:02] PySDM for editing fstab [03:02] zoug, i wish i could login but i can't :). 3 more minutes to shutdown and so no logins allowed i guess. [03:03] XiaolinDraconis, menus are in /etc/xdg [03:03] You can edit fstab with just about anything [03:03] dnivra: you can use a live cd to delete the crontab entry [03:03] I seem to recall PySDM really messing up fstab on some systems i tried it on in the past.. i would backup your original fstab first [03:03] XGummiBareX [03:03] i had a list of all the programs i had installed but thats on the partition i cant acces right at this moment [03:03] dnivra, not that, press ctrl+alt+f2, then login [03:03] Maahes, i didn't make a crontab entry. was it created automatically? [03:03] klay: like this? http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872197 [03:03] yay im in here km0201 [03:03] zoug, yeah i can't login into any of the tty's from F1 to F6. [03:03] Coolslai: you were in here before.. but.. ok [03:03] lol [03:04] nope watch this [03:04] XiaolinDraconis, menus are in /etc/xdg/menus [03:04] dnivra: I am 98% certain that whatever you used to schedule the shutdown made a chrontab entry. [03:05] gonna reboot of usb thumb to see if i can even access that partition [03:05] Maahes, 'sudo shutdown -r 07:50' doesn't really create a crontab entry does it? what does the crontab entry look like? [03:05] dnivra: you can also try to boot up in recovery mode [03:05] UnholyTerror, ive got a bigger fish im frying that menu thing has to wait [03:05] km0201 hey its Coolslai [03:05] Maahes, okay and in recovery what can i do? kill the shutdown process? [03:05] hi [03:05] XGummiBareX: uh... ok.. [03:05] lol [03:05] in recovery the proc wont be running [03:06] km0201 watch this [03:06] XGummiBareX: you're way to excited about this. === XGummiBareX is now known as Coolslai [03:06] lol [03:06] yupp [03:06] but i'm glad you're excited [03:06] cuz now i can run scripts lol [03:06] dnivra, login another user? [03:07] zoug, there are no other users :( just one. it's a desktop. [03:07] zoug, and logins before shutdown are disabled right? [03:07] dnivra sounds like you might have added whatever calls the shutdown to init [03:07] XiaolinDraconis, ok, just trying to figure it out. ;) [03:07] i have this line: '/usr/share/ipprogram/lib:' can someone tell me, in command "./configure this ipprogram is instaled in /usr or in /usr/share ? [03:07] r007, a crontab entry as Maahes said? [03:08] dnivra: It looks what might have happened is you have a runlevel that's not resetting [03:08] dnivra, so recovery i guess [03:08] Can anyone help me with something i cant seem to figure out. [03:08] dnivra unlikely a cron it would have to be in a running state to execute [03:08] i just installe ubuntu and in during the process it wouldnt work and then finally i typed something it which made the colors blue tinted when it booted and then everything installed smoothly but now everything is colored blue. [03:09] dnivra: try recovery. Also try reading the man pages for shutdown, runlevel and init. You may have to edit /var/run/utmp [03:09] does anyone know how to solve thisÉ [03:10] Maahes, r007 zoug okay recovery and editing /var/run/utmp. any other suggestions? [03:10] my Ubuntu Lucid is in big trouble [03:10] km0201 hi [03:10] Coolslai: :) [03:10] km0201 wanna see something cool and annoying? [03:10] I was having trouble with audio so I uninstalled pulse audio and jackd related apps [03:10] Coolslai: lol whatever [03:10] Maahes, shouldn't /var/run/utmp contain something? the file is empty. [03:11] dnivra yeah check the messages log to see what was being done during boot [03:11] km0201, now everytime you say something, it will be repeated to you in query lol [03:11] Now when I reboot, user login screen comes up, with no back drop, and it will not accept my login password [03:11] huh? [03:11] r007, oh yeah. thanks! [03:11] Coolslai: yeah, that is annoying [03:11] Any emergency tips? [03:11] turn that off [03:11] hi everyone, i want to ask something.i use natty ubuntu, my X usually crashed in the middle run. what happened? [03:11] km0201 lol i know isnt it? i turned i off for you lol [03:11] lol [03:11] dnivra: see init, the init daemon may be rerunning shutdown indefinitely. [03:11] ima go do dishes ill brb km0201 [03:12] have fun [03:12] km0201 lol ill try not to [03:12] Maahes, okay then. guess i'll have to stop that. i'll check the logs to figure out what's wrong. [03:12] <[thor]> mork1: ask in #ubuntu+1 [03:13] where do i find the GDM package in this list? [03:13] what category [03:13] thor: on my way, thanks [03:13] I hope I can repair this [03:13] r007, what should i be looking for in the logs? [03:13] dnivra: the log that has the last runlevel changes is /var/log/wtmp [03:13] who [03:14] Fezzler: what are you trying to repair? [03:14] dnvira grep it for kernel [03:14] Maahes, yes-saw that in man pages-is the file in binary? [03:14] KM0201: login in [03:14] Fezzler: login where? [03:14] KM0201: I was having trouble with audio. I deleted apps with reference to pulse and jackd, rebooted for clean start [03:14] r007, 1249 lines. a bit more specific if possible? [03:15] dnivra: off the top of my head I can't say [03:15] Maahes, okay :). [03:15] KM0201: when I rebooted, I get user login screen with no backdrop image and it doesn't accept my password [03:15] Fezzler: can you boot recovery mode, and change your users password? [03:16] KMo [03:16] does anyone know how to install ubuntu 10.04 of an archos 9 here? [03:16] KM0201: I think so [03:16] I'm connected wirelessly right now with network manager. How do I determine my current wireless configuration so I can reboot and put the correct settings in /etc/network/interfaces? [03:16] Fezzler: well, thats probably a good start [03:16] KM0201: Headed to mass. I'll have fix when I return [03:16] ok. [03:16] KM0201: No "restore point" in Ubuntu Lucid? [03:16] Fezzler: i don't think so... [03:16] MaindotC-LT: you can use ifconfg and iwconfig [03:17] <_Tristan> ubuntu don't need no restore points, it's a real man [03:17] _Tristan: i tend to agree.. i think restore points are silly [03:17] don't any linux filesystems support snapshots? [03:17] waste of disk space [03:17] sacarlson: I see what settings are in there but it doesn't seem to be enough to boot the wireless w/o network manager or I'm not using the proper command [03:17] <_Tristan> well, they're totally legit for windows, when it sometimes decides not to boot [03:17] r007, copy on write? [03:17] MaindotC-LT: oh you will also need route and contents of /etc/resolv.conf if you want static [03:18] I can't remember the last time I ran out of disk space [03:18] hard disks are too slow to run out of space [03:18] 1999 [03:18] sacarlson: dhcp would be fine [03:18] Maahes, about the cron entry you'd mentioned. where would that be located? [03:18] dnivra: forget that, shutdown is probably the only program that you would use to do this, that does not use cron [03:18] clausen I said a waste of nothing about running out [03:18] anyway, I think it is possible to do restore points [03:19] shutdown works at the init runlevel [03:19] r007, if you don't run out, then it's a costless "waste" [03:19] hi, i've installed ubuntu 10.10 and my nvidia driver has stoped working, i get a blank screen on start, how can i solve it? [03:19] Maahes, oh okay i see. [03:19] MaindotC-LT: there are settings you can add in /etc/network/inferfaces that include essid and other but I would have to google them [03:19] clausen: solaris ZFS does iirc [03:19] Baxnie: how did you install the driver? [03:19] if you've hosed your init scripts you might just want to about reinstalling the base inits. Also another thing you can do to poke around in that drive is chroot /mount/point that will log you into the drive as root [03:19] sacarlson: how can I determine what key or protection/encryption I'm using [03:20] nomad99, LVM also seems to have some kind of support to [03:20] sacarlson: I know I have to enter my username and password but I'm not sure where to find it to copy into the interfaces file :9 [03:20] Maahes, i thought about it-chroot and running 'shutdown -c'. have not done it yet. thought somebody might know a solution here. [03:20] KM0201: i've installed ubuntu 10.04, everything was working fine, then i upgraded to 10.10, it stopped working, i had recommended drivers [03:20] MaindotC-LT: I think that should be seen in iwconfig maybe other if you use wpa_suplicant [03:20] nomad99, btrfs? [03:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versioning_file_system#Linux [03:21] dnivra: honestly, now that I think about it, that is the first thing I would try [03:21] Baxnie: hmm... no idea on that one... sorry... sounds like the upgrade didn't go as well as planned though [03:21] Wasn't there an ubuntu IRC channel soley for video stuff? [03:21] baxnie can you boot from the earlier kernel? [03:21] Maahes, i am doing that now :). [03:21] easiest fix if it works [03:21] let's hope so. [03:21] Hdale85: there's ubuntustudio? [03:21] clausen: sorry,not familiar with it,but iirc its linux port or equvialent,yes [03:22] Maahes, herm oh well I'm just trying to figure out how to setup a 1080i signal over component for my TV [03:22] btrfs, nilfs, and zfs are all good options for setting up a versioning filesystem, in linux [03:22] there's more you can mount via fuse as well [03:22] it was called PySDM folks [03:22] had to reboot and i tracked it down [03:22] nilfs has had more development time than btrfs, just fyi [03:23] Maahes, cannot find pid of shutdown :(. [03:23] r007: some time ago, i was able to login using recovery mode with failsafex, then i installed driver 173. everything worked fine. long time after it i decided to install newest drivers again, but i got the same thing. now i want to solve it properly [03:23] Maahes: thanks, good to know! I guess it's unlikely any of these are going to be default for / [03:23] also there's ext3-cow [03:23] oh [03:23] dnivra: what is happening? [03:23] MaindotC-LT: if you want to use wpa_suplicant in /etc/network/interfaces it is documented here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [03:23] I didn't hear about ext3-cow... that could allow default installations of ubuntu to do restore points [03:24] its more simplistic, but functional [03:24] Maahes, is it in the main kernel? === rewt`` is now known as rewt [03:24] quiescens, i scheduled a shutdown using 'shutdown -r' at a particular time but forced my computer off before that time. now i cannot login into that 10.10 because the shutdown is still running. how can i cancel the shutdown? [03:24] dnivra: if you had something fail during a shutdown and can't log in, you can try to remove the file /etc/nologin [03:24] dnivra: try " ps aux |grep -i shutdown" w/o quotes [03:24] clausen: I believe ext3-cow, nilfs and btrfs are all in the main kernel [03:24] hello, im new to ubuntu and im having a problem that i cant seem to find an answer to. is anyone able to answer a question? [03:24] dnivra: do you have htop installed on that drive? [03:24] dnivra hard kill it pull the plug [03:25] Maahes, no i do not. [03:25] yes lets all chip in with answers without finding out what the problem is [03:25] sacarlson: I don't think I have the time for that but I do appreciate your effort [03:25] r007, well um that OS is not running :D. i'm in another 10.10 install now and chrooted into the malfunctioning one. [03:25] hi [03:25] haha. is that a yes? [03:25] dnivra: you know, shutdown probably isn't running because you didn't go through the init process. [03:25] sacarlson: I think I'm going to try and find a way to move the network-manager debs onto a drive so I can install it on the machine that doesn't have network-manager [03:25] Maahes, apparently ext3 and ext3cow aren't on-disk compatible [03:25] nomad99, awesome! i found something :D. [03:26] dnivra ps aux | grep shutdown? [03:26] dnivra: if you are now in recovery mode and have access to the filesystem, you can remove /etc/nologin which is the file which prevents logging in [03:26] Maahes, so, ext3-cow seems like a dead-end, until it gets merged into the mainline ext3 [03:26] r007, yeah. [03:26] MaindotC-LT: just search that web page above for wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [03:26] sacarlson: ok [03:26] quiescens, think that would be the reason why i can't login? or shutdown is in fact running? [03:26] MaindotC-LT: it's just 2 lines [03:26] clausen: that'll never happen, it was a particular branch of ext3 made for a particular reason, not part of the main thrust of the fs [03:27] nomad99, so i can kill that process? i've chrooted into the not-working install. [03:27] it seems like you guys are busy at the moment. Is there somewhere else i can go to find an answer? [03:27] family: just ask your question to the channel, if someone knows the answer, they will respond [03:27] I have an SD card reader on my laptop (latitude e6410) and I inserted an SD card. How can I tell where in devices that got mounted? [03:27] Maahes, fair enough... I guess default ubuntu installations won't be getting restore-points any time soon then [03:28] family: unless you ask a question we can't even tell you if we can help you. [03:28] i did mount [03:28] dnivra: then sudo kill PID# of shutdown procress. yes [03:28] fuzion24 usually get mounted in /media [03:28] Hello all! === jacob_ is now known as Guest94305 [03:29] nomad99, one question. how do i get the pid? is it listed in the output of the command? if so which field? [03:29] clausen: btrfs should have snapshots in the nearish future [03:29] nomad99, okay got it :). [03:29] r007, nothing there [03:29] dnivra: pidof [03:29] dnivra: in ps aux output or htop,etc... [03:29] quiescens, but will ubuntu's installer use it by default? [03:29] Maahes, remember shutdown isn't running? that's what the box reports :) [03:29] dnivra the first 4 digit number [03:29] ps Al [03:30] dnivra: then there's no way to get the pid. [03:30] clausen: i would imagine it will eventually, but does not at the moment [03:30] it has to be running. [03:30] r007, there're two. i got which one. [03:30] quiescens, that's encouraging then :) [03:30] Thanks. well i tried to install ubuntu on my mac and i had some trouble for a while and it wouldn't work. then i tried inputting something at the boot screen and then it finally booted up but everything is tinted blue. so i installed it and everything but everything is tinted blue. i dont know how to change this and im not sure what i inputted. [03:30] fuzion24 whats df show? [03:30] fuzion24, in a terminal type: mount [03:30] you could also check your syslog to see what's going on. [03:30] Maahes, ps -aux lists it :) 4012 running on pts/0. i think it's right. worth a shot. [03:30] dnivra one is the grep command [03:30] dnivra: for the 3rd time, could you check if there is a /etc/nologin on the filesystem of the system in question [03:31] nomad99, can't kill it. [03:31] Anyone know where i can get software to download... need some older software anyone know of a server / channel?? [03:31] quiescens, yes it says 'The system is going to reboot in 3 minutes'. [03:31] dnivra: then, for the 3rd time, try removing the file [03:31] quiescens, was typing it out when few suggestions popped up :). [03:31] anyone know a way to bunch up terminal IO, so that packets are sent at regular intervals? [03:31] any ideas? [03:31] quentusrex, alright will do. be back soon. [03:32] (I'm worried about timing attacks) [03:32] family: that's really not a lot of information that can be helped with. You might try installing your graphics drivers again, or looking at /var/log/syslog or /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors [03:32] Okay. would i maybe be able to see what i input there? [03:32] Burst^: synaptic works for me, older software? like for ubuntu older then end of life? [03:32] family: no, but you might see what's making the screen blue [03:32] wow [03:32] look for video driver errors [03:33] i think it was that easy [03:33] okay, how to i get to that. is that a terminal command? [03:33] XiaolinDraconis: what was? [03:33] r007, mount doesn't show the device at all let alone mounted anywhere [03:33] Hi, using "loadkeys" what is better to use for an uk or us keyboard? loadkeys us or loadkeys qwerty/us? using spanish keyboard I need to specify qwerty/es, any idea? [03:33] family: I recommend you use nautilus to go to the /var/log/ folder and open them up with gedit [03:33] checked gnome-core, firefox, software center, GDM, and maybe one other thing [03:34] oh and plymouth [03:34] plymouth is terrible, don't install it. :P [03:34] fuzion24 its not mounted then [03:34] only thing more terrible is OSD. [03:34] lol i like flashy stuff [03:35] oh and compiz [03:35] XiaolinDraconis: the old login can be flashy [03:35] wait ... plymouth handles the login? [03:35] gdm should do it [03:35] thought that was GDM [03:35] I apologize im really new to this. what is nautilus? [03:35] XiaolinDraconis: I mean bootup screen, prior to logging in [03:35] family: the file browser [03:36] whew [03:36] Maahes: r007 quiescens nomad99 thanks for your help guys! quiescens was right-deleting the nologin worked :). thanks mate! should've listened to you earlier. [03:36] <[8-bit][Pixel]> how can i change incoming font formats on xchat so that all the font colors are the same (since some people use annoying scripts) [03:36] family, its the file manager [03:36] when u browse folders [03:36] dnivra: no problem :) [03:36] family, so if you go to Places "Home folder" that is nautilus [03:36] [8-bit][Pixel]: go to the colors menu of X-chat [03:36] km0201 hello [03:36] ah okay thanks [03:37] dnivra np merry xmas [03:37] family, nautilus is your file manager [03:37] YEAH, BIG problem now. After upgrading from karmic to lucid, i am not able to login anymore. [03:37] Coolslai: you bounce in and out a lot [03:37] lol [03:37] right, im pretty sure its not mounted because its not formated [03:37] i cant see it in /dev either though [03:37] hey guys, anyone figure out how to have flash play audio while something else is paused? [03:37] km0201 yeah i kno lol [03:37] because i still have this issue [03:37] dob_: more information that please, what happens [03:37] <[8-bit][Pixel]> Maahes: that does not make all of the colors one color if you know what i mean, people use fonts, scripts, backgrounds, highlights, etc... i dont want that [03:37] I can enter my username and my password [03:37] then nothing comes up [03:37] booting to rescue works [03:37] and i can work as root [03:38] [8-bit][Pixel]: X-chat has the ability to turn all that off in the colors section. [03:38] or rather, how do I make anything play audio while flash is paused? [03:38] fuzion24 does fdsik -l show it? [03:38] seems to be a huuuuuuuge bug huh [03:38] so should i search my computer for that /var/log/syslog? [03:38] <[8-bit][Pixel]> Maahes: i'm not seeing that in the colors section [03:38] or does no one care / know the answer? [03:38] family: just go to the folder /var/log [03:38] rinku_kokiri, never had a problem like that [03:39] hmm i dont see that [03:39] so you have NO problem playing audio with, say, amarok, while you have a youtube window open? [03:39] nope [03:39] i am really worried about that issue, cause it's my main server.... [03:39] <[8-bit][Pixel]> rinku_kokiri: i used to have those problems, it's a driver issue [03:39] ive had 3 things playing audio at once [03:39] hrm, cause google and ubuntu forums say it's a flash issue [03:40] i cannot mount one of my partitions [03:40] any help? [03:40] <[8-bit][Pixel]> rinku_kokiri: for me, it was an audio driver issue [03:40] it would piss me off since im on kongregate while listening to music a lot [03:40] well I do have a dolby HDA audio card [03:40] family, type cat /var/log/syslog in a terminal [03:40] but it never had this problem before flash 10 [03:40] whats the command to work out which desktop ui I am using? [03:40] so i suspect flash << usually always the issue anyway [03:40] family tail would be better than cat [03:41] than you [03:41] thank you* [03:42] hey there, I am trying to figure out a login issue, when i type in my password in xfce, it seems to take but then it logs back out. I have an error in .xsession-errors that says it cant open display....I have re-installed the nvidia current driver but that doesnt seem to help.... any ideas? [03:42] dewman can you login at run level 3 [03:43] any ideas why the login to my ubuntu server is not possible after the upgrade to lucid from karmic? [03:43] I mean have you actually TRIED to play audio through amarok while a youtube video is up/on?? [03:43] r007, hmmm...Not sure how I would do that.... Can you pint me in that direction? [03:43] or are you just going by "never had the /chance/ to have the problem" [03:43] err.. point. [03:43] family: you may want to check out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Maverick#Colors , found a similar link it a forum post about blue tint on a mac [03:43] dewman google Linux run levels [03:44] [8-bit][Pixel]: Check the input menu [03:44] oh thats great thanks [03:44] dewman if you can login at cli then its a X issue [03:44] would it help if i told you that this issue is on two different computers, with different audio cards and all too? === kenny is now known as Guest69080 [03:46] <[8-bit][Pixel]> Maahes: no offense, it doesn't really help when i've looked through all of the options already and you're randomly telling me to check different options [03:46] hello is enyone good with ubuntu netbook remix problems? [03:47] r007, so kill gdm and then restart gdm? yeah, that doesnt work,. [03:47] dewman no [03:47] so that's it?? i have a sound issue with Flash on Two different pieces of hardware and it's a driver problem? [03:47] dewman if your not willing to learn what run levels are Im not willing to help [03:47] hello/ [03:47] ? [03:48] can anyone help me with ubuntu netbook remix i have some problems related to drivers [03:48] r007, yeah thats a good attitude to take...I was just asking for some assistance. [03:49] !runlevel [03:49] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [03:49] Hi. I had to do a hard reset and that has apparently hosed my entire lvm. I was able to fsck the root logical volume, but not the home. I can't boot into the system and tell it to recreate user files from scratch because it looks for some files from that very partition. Can I avoid a complete reinstall? [03:49] dewman I offered advise Im not going to wipe your ass [03:49] [8-bit][Pixel]: well I took a look at X-chat's documentation, which isn't very good. I seem to remember from when I used x-chat, there being a setting to do that, but I cannot find it in the docs. I recommend asking in #xchat [03:49] r007: maybe you need to wash your mouth out instead [03:50] !language [03:50] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:50] ops ARE watching [03:50] think I should go back to a real Linux distro lol [03:50] sorry for the language [03:51] but you cant be expected to hold peoples hands through every step [03:51] if there's a way to recover from corrupt superblock, that would be good too. [03:51] found the problem with login. If i start winbind. I am not able to login [03:51] r007: that last attitude? Please do so. If ubuntu is not "real" enough. And yes you can't expect to hold everyone's hand, but there are politer ways to do so. [03:51] now, maybe someone can help me figure out this stupid flash problem [03:51] i play sound in flash, i cannot play sound in anything else [03:52] and vice versa [03:52] rinku_kokiri: have you googled "pulse audio flash" ? [03:52] yeah but didn't result in anything useful [03:52] Maahes yes there are politer ways but not when they dont have a polite response to your advise [03:53] just a bunch of forums that contained "this may help" [03:53] r007, how was I not polite? [03:53] hmm switching to pulse worked out quite well for me, even got rid of the other problem of not being able to pause a video for too long [03:53] hi [03:54] i get a "file too large" error when trying to mount a home logical volume. fsck gives The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck. [03:54] (Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt) [03:54] I was asking for some help....Thats it.....Just like everyone else in here... [03:54] That was my bug with the login: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/584428 [03:54] dewman, whats the issue? [03:54] sorry dewman just reread what you posted words can be taken so differently when theres no emotion [03:55] hi' [03:55] hello [03:55] hello [03:55] i want to play some song while the file operations are taking place. How can i do it?? [03:56] end the programme [03:56] rams, you mean an mp3 player like vlc or streaming radio ? [03:56] i want to play some song while the file operations are taking place. How can i do it?? [03:57] rinku_kokiri: Well, brief googling myself. Try installing the latest flash player from adobe's website. [03:57] meh [03:57] thanks [03:57] Quantum_Ion, yeah. something like that [03:57] lol [03:57] rinku_kokiri: its literally the same package, just newer [03:57] rams you can prolly do it with aplay but itll have to be wav form [03:57] rams, So you want something like the Linux version of iTunes ? [03:57] it installs the same files. [03:58] =/ [03:58] exit [03:58] rams: what do you mean by "file operations"? [03:58] Wireless disconnects after some random time, why is it? [03:58] anyone ever install ubuntu using an external usb hard drive? [03:58] If you're doing really intensive cpu tasks? You're not going to be able to play music very well at the same time. [03:58] Will it work or must it be a thumb drive? [03:58] compile kernel :D [03:58] Maahes, yes [03:58] play music [03:58] systematical: running off one now [03:59] no but have installed fedora its just like using a live cd [03:59] Quantum_Ion, i dont know much about itunes [03:59] systematical: as opposed to what? [03:59] rams, you *could* fire up an iPod :D [03:59] Just wondering [03:59] rams, Did you try RythmBox ? [04:00] systematical: no I mean, as opposed to what else would you install it on other than a thumb drive, for usb install? [04:00] ipod [04:00] phone [04:00] external hdd [04:00] etc? [04:00] rinku_kokiri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] you would not want to do that [04:00] never done it before and bought my girl one of those tiny eepc's for xmas [04:00] i've gotten ubuntu runningn on my 5th gen ipod video that's screen took a pos [04:01] systematical: its stupidly easy. Just grab an iso, and grab the installer from pendrivelinux.com [04:01] 3 clicks and your done [04:01] worked just fine till I dropped it and the mobo cracked === kdgrng is now known as kdgrng_ [04:01] Quantum_Ion, when ever we right click and copy a folder and paste it somewhere else, we get a window naming File Operations, i want to play come song during those file operations [04:01] after checking repo i notice palm support. what about pocket pc? [04:01] you could also go with a SDHC memory card [04:01] i get a "file too large" error when trying to mount a home logical volume. fsck gives The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck. (Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt). is there something else to try? [04:01] Nah I want to install it on the netbook itself, but it has no cdrom drive [04:01] rinku_kokiri, i did not get you [04:02] rams: ah. I see, Yes you could do this, but you'd have to see the gnome docs for what processes are being called while you do that, and then you would have to write a script yourself. [04:02] rams, Try this http://alternativeto.net/software/rhythmbox/ [04:02] how are you mounting and what file system? [04:02] rams i thought i saw you say you may be doing "extensive cpu tasks" so i suggested using an external piece of hardware, such as a portable media player [04:03] Banshee or RhythmBox [04:03] Or amarok [04:03] Maahes, where can i find those gnome doc? I know scripting [04:03] rams: you may even need to read up in the source code. Basically: you need to understand gnome's internals. [04:03] rams: gnome.org [04:03] sudo -i apt-get install amarok [04:03] r007: it is a logical volume from an lvm volume group. FS is ext4. mounting by sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home /dev/media/drive [04:04] Hello all, I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214022 . However after I select Install Ubuntu on the alternate install CD/USB, the screen goes black and never comes back. I have tried nomodeset, vga=771, xforcevesa, and no luck. Any ideas? [04:04] rams, you *could* use aplay but then again, it would have to be in wavform [04:04] http://www.speedtest.net/result/1083902208.png [04:04] lol [04:04] :) [04:04] Skopje75: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:04] I am going to try amarok and see how I like it right now [04:04] and you *would* have to edit some things internally [04:04] Amtrask: did you try the normal install? [04:04] try a -t ext [04:04] I had an apple and a cup of water for dinner [04:05] Quantum_Ion: you don't wanna know what I had ^_^ [04:05] rinku_kokiri, let it be, i just wanted to play some sound, i am not bothered about the format of audio [04:05] Maahes I did not, however I want to install everything on an encrypted loopback dealy (crypto+lvm) [04:05] Maahes, Let me guess a Snickers Bar and a can of Coke ? [04:05] Amtrask: you can go back over it with truecrypt, or there's an option to encrypt your home dir [04:06] r007: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext'" trying with ext4 gives the same "file too large" error. [04:06] Maahes TC has system encryption for Linux now? I was unaware [04:06] Quantum_Ion: Mashedpotates with gravy, green beans, sliced ham stuffing, and home made candied yams. [04:06] and thats from sudo mount -t ext /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home /dev/media/drive [04:06] Maahes, WOW What a FEAST ! [04:07] Amtrask: yupyup :). I dunno if the windows client does, but the truecrypt package does. [04:07] there's a whole list of mp3 apps on this page for perusal [04:07] http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ [04:07] r007: yep [04:07] hmm have you tried fsck it and then trying to mount? [04:07] Amtrask: I'm not sure however if it requires more mucking about to make it work [04:08] r007: that's what she said [04:08] when? [04:08] r007: fsck can't seem to handle it either. it gives "fsck.ext4: Filesystem revision too high while trying to open /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home The filesystem revision is apparently too high for this version of e2fsck. (Or the filesystem superblock is corrupt) [04:08] ...I guess that's mostly an american and british joke? [04:08] didnt see that message [04:08] Maahes I will check that out, thanks [04:08] and running it with -b 8193 doesn't work either [04:09] Amtrask: np ^_^ [04:09] whatever that does, this is way over my basic linux knowledge [04:09] I don't think e2fsck can handle ext4 [04:09] Maahes: well it seemed to fix the root logical volume... [04:10] any suggestions on what else i might need on a minimal install? [04:10] is there something else to try? [04:10] *shrugs* then maybe I'm wrong. [04:10] tbh sounds like the drives feked [04:10] XiaolinDraconis: do you have installed right now, and what would you be looking for more of? [04:10] r007: i know :/ this is not good at all [04:11] a reinstall would be reasonably quick, but some of the data... [04:11] all this mucking about trying to get flash to play while i'm playing wow made me forget which youtube video i was trying to play in the first place === sfisk is now known as PhineasJ [04:12] i have gnome-core metacity nautilus firefox compiz gdm synaptic and im looking for basic functionality i guess [04:12] this was before i learned about magic sysreq too... [04:12] then flash crashes opera [04:12] GREAT JOB ADOBE [04:12] any of the small conveniences i may be missing [04:12] XiaolinDraconis: network manager? [04:12] how do i download and install new themes? what do i do with the tar.gz file that donwloads? [04:12] what version of ubuntu are you mounting from? [04:12] 10.10 (live) [04:12] i believe i have gnome-network thingy [04:13] XiaolinDraconis: If you like terminal apps. I recommend weechat, shellfm, vim, pianobar (if you're in the us), sup, tmux, and urxvt, the patched kind not the one in the ubuntu repos, look for a ppa. there's also mpoc. And like I said I recommend AwesomeWM and wmii [04:13] XiaolinDraconis: make sure you have the exact network-manager package [04:14] k ill confirm that [04:14] how do i download install new themes? what do i do with the tar.gz file that donwloads? [04:14] ho [04:14] cowslammer: open the Appearance program under preferences, and drag and drop them [04:14] and no this will be a very basic system capable of playing my retro roms and a few other games [04:15] XiaolinDraconis: Desmume, psX, zsnes, no$gba. [04:16] there's also a saturn and genesis emulator in the repos [04:16] it looks like the drives knackered or beyond repair to me [04:16] oh yeah i got the emulators covered mostly [04:16] r007: thanks for trying.

[04:20] i think its a dependency of gnome-network thingy [04:21] should be installed by default on a minimum install [04:21] i think so [04:21] unrelated non problem>> amarok, gtkpod and banshee would NOT manage my iPod, .... so... I installed gnupod-tools << best thing i evr done, === Quantum_Ion is now known as Rockefeller_Sold [04:22] well ill find out im booting now [04:22] the gnome network manager will be installed with gnom [04:23] gnome-core [04:23] Mic Check [04:23] should be included in that package [04:23] k [04:23] who can help me install MF beta 8?

[04:37] TuXeS, but.... I am not sure if installing unity on maverick will be the same at log on [04:37] TuXeS, uninstalling? well I am running natty here as an install [04:38] TuXeS, it works fine in both unity desktop or classic gnome [04:38] im just worried all mess up my gnome maverick install [04:38] Tukano, but it is alpha after all [04:38] XiaolinDraconis: nice what gnome profile is that? [04:38] interesting.. it complained about loading a library that is in the directory the bin is in <<< firefox beta 8 [04:38] if u mean theme its Azenis [04:38] haha [04:38] TuXeS, well then I would suggest either backing things up first and giving it a try... or run natty in vm [04:38] firefox fail [04:38] forget "firefox-bin" and run firefox [04:38] it's right next to it and works [04:38] TuXeS, oh wait..i dont think it will work in vm sorry [04:39] oh [04:39] and hey it' doesn't look like opera :D [04:39] TuXeS, do you have external media you can back your stuff up with ? [04:39] and if you leave the old one as is, it's still useable [04:39] lol [04:40] yea, but i have nevered backed up a Linux distro. so im not sure on that [04:40] Nautilus shows at the bottom in the status line: "7 items, Free space: 370.8 GB." What storage medium does this apply to? [04:40] TuXeS, well I was just suggesting backing up things like bookmarks pictures etc [04:40] forget the fast user switch app [04:41] bullgard depends on your partition srtup [04:41] oh, i have nothing like that i care to back up [04:41] bullgard, the one ubuntu is installed on unless you opend or have a second hard drive or some media [04:41] wouldn't a simple dd if=/dev/sd[your root] of=/dev/sd[backuploc] work for that? [04:41] hehe [04:41] i just start over [04:41] >:_ [04:41] ) [04:41] TuXeS, ah ok...mmm then this is a tuff c hoice for you.... [04:41] r007: What is a "srtup"? [04:41] I has a seperate /home part [04:41] startup [04:41] TuXeS, that is the other alternative yes :) [04:42] bullgard setup even [04:42] TuXeS, my phylosophy is " if you cannot reinstall at any given moment ,,, you are doing something wrong " :) [04:42] r007: Ah! [04:42] good philosophy [04:42] offtopic! youtube has a "different homepage" [04:42] my philosphy is if you need to reinstall your a .....

[04:43] but eet looks the same [04:43] wow ff beta 8 looks nice [04:44] rinku_kokiri, well when you experiment with off the wall applications...compile things that most likely shouldnt be compiled then things change :) [04:44] ? [04:44] where did that come from?

Download the file and place on your desktop [04:45] r007, sounds reasonable...but the people I deal with generally are not even aware of the concept of "computer" "server" [04:45] r007, my philosophy is if it takes longer to fix than it does to re-install.... reinstall [04:45] sacarlson, u asking where to get it? === fly is now known as Guest65921 [04:46] XiaolinDraconis: Ya I googled and found part of it [04:46] rinku_kokiri yeah but you have to think how long it will save you in the long run if you learn what happened [04:46] coz_, my wife thinks the whole case including everything inside is the "hard drive" [04:46] gnome-look.org and search azenis i got the theme pack [04:47] r007, yeah [04:47] azenis 0.2 [04:47] rinku_kokiri, ah then you understand what I mean :) [04:47] :D === Guest65921 is now known as fly2mauis [04:48] XiaolinDraconis: yes I got that far in page http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=106608 but still am an ideot to find the file in step 1 [04:48] coz_ I know where your coming from nothing like people who know shit about servers want something deployed live instanttly [04:48] guys, i added my id_rsa.pub into my server [04:48] but when i ssh to my server, i'm now prompted to enter a passphrase [04:48] Enter passphrase for key .....

[04:50] sacarlson, get the deb version [04:50] XiaolinDraconis: I found that at the bottom at http://gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=106608&id=10&tan=61615834 and get error 404 [04:50] it must change your .mozilla config files [04:51] i had nothing wrong so far [04:51] both work fyne [04:51] although i opted to NOT update my add-ons [04:51] lots of my addons didnt worky [04:51] end of the day no need to run the latest firefox unless you really want the new feautures as the ubuntu one will be patched for holes [04:51] XiaolinDraconis: maybe they have a mirror site? [04:51] ^^ hence why i opted to NOT update them :D [04:52] it's still a beta = non production [04:52] sacarlson, you are tyring to install this theme? [04:52] sacarlson, im getting the same page i got mine from [04:52] sacarlson, thats not the link i used [04:52] ubuntu come with version 3.6 so 4.0 isnt that far i dont think [04:53] sacarlson, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis+Theme+Pack?content=108882 [04:53] coz_: ya [04:53] use that version [04:53] it doesnt include usplash so u wont get an error [04:53] sacarlson, ok it installed here easily... are you having issues downloading it? [04:53] dont pay attention to versions in Linux they will be that version but will be patched up security wise [04:54] XiaolinDraconis: ok I got that one [04:54] XiaolinDraconis, sorry dont mean to just butt in on this ,,, I was curious what the issue is [04:54] its usplash included in the file he got [04:54] that version was meant for ubuntu 8 [04:55] coz_: yes the problem was a site problem but the link that XiaolinDraconis: gave me worked perfect thanks [04:55] ok [04:55] np [05:00] merry christmas everyone!

[05:48] ^^ u will only see wireless clients [05:49] anything more and it's borderline against the rules of this channel [05:49] what? [05:50] if you're using a wireless connection while running wireshark (with no wired connection) you will ONLY SEE other wireless connections, no wired connections... [05:50] unless you have a program on your router that feeds you data [05:51] rinku_kokiri, im pretty sure there are methods to attack the router to feed you the wired connect information [05:51] * skraito anyone interested to start project in c++ for load balancer please private message me [05:51] rinku you could configure your adapters for monitoring traffic [05:51] sasquatch77, yeah [05:51] nooonickman, like i said, if you have a program installed on the router, .. you *could* do that yes, but we *should not speak* of that here [05:52] it could be wifi or wired [05:52] there's other places to learn about that, that does not put us at liability [05:52] rinku_kokiri, fair enough, for the sake of channel rules, sasquatch77 your best bet is to d/l and use backtrack [05:52] its what your looking for, its great [05:52] yep ^^ [05:52] nooonickman: cheers [05:52] ok ok bye [05:52] sasquatch77, you will thank me later [05:52] quit [05:52] rinku_kokiri: It was coz of the configuration i have just made recently to my .bashrc file..

[06:01] when your installing windows clean it gives you the option [06:01] I mean using wubi [06:02] Know1edge, iirc, ubuntu through Wubi installer creates one rather large file inside an existing partition [06:02] that file acts as a virtual hard drive [06:03] Any performance issues with that?

[06:11] Aroman, isn't it ln -d ? [06:12] If not that, try ln -t [06:12] Found it in the man pages. [06:12] justyellowboy, The manpage says that's a hard link, and that it will most likely fail :P [06:14] Hm. -t only specifies directories in which to create links. I dunno, I'm too luser to know this, right now. I apologize for being unhelpful. :c [06:14] justyellowboy, ah, and that requires that I have the source folder, i guess [06:14] justyellowboy, no worries. We'll figure it out :) === caesar_ is now known as maas2 [06:14] aroman: I think ln -s /path/to/folder will work try it [06:14] Hi guys I just completely wiped my HDD to DOD standards then installed windows 7 to Dev/SDA 1 and kubuntu to Dev/SDA 2 now i have the grub boot loader then if i boot windows 7 i get the windows boot loader, now i want to remove grub and add kubuntu to the windows boot loader anyone know how? [06:15] sacarlson, I thought that was just for files? i'll try it. [06:15] aroman: I think I forgot the . at the end ln -s /path/to/folder . [06:16] sacarlson, huh? [06:16] http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/FD_files/Getting_to_a_file.html [06:16] Try that if nothing else works. [06:16] rofl [06:16] justyellowboy, it's probably just normal ln without params. [06:16] * aroman tries it [06:17] Did you see my post? [06:17] justyellowboy, sacarlson, without params gives: ln: `elementary-mono-dark': hard link not allowed for directory [06:18] 111 [06:18] ↑↑↑↑↑↑ [06:18] 有人在吗 [06:18] Lance_Buzz, you cant do that [06:18] ive done it before i just forgot how [06:19] oh my god，all english [06:19] aroman: when i tried ln -s /home/freenet2 . ; I now get: lrwxrwxrwx 1 sacarlson sacarlson 14 2010-12-25 13:17 freenet2 -> /home/freenet2 [06:19] sacarlson, ditto. But I can't $cd to it.. can you? [06:20] aroman: that's because you don't have permisions in the folder try sudo cd /path/to/folder [06:20] sacarlson, you can't sudo cd things :/ [06:20] surely you can, :\ [06:21] [just that it's rather pointless] [06:21] i'm pretty sure you cant: avi@Ubuntu-iMac:/usr/share/icons$ sudo cd elementary-mono-icons [06:21] sudo: cd: command not found [06:21] i'll try chmoding it [06:21] aroman: you need to chroot to it. not sudo cd [06:21] aroman: I sudo su ; then #cd /my/path and yes I can cd into it. if you what that user to have priv add him to the group of that folder [06:22] oh I got this now. Because it's in a folder only root can get to, only root can cd into it. [06:22] aroman: hmm, good point, i understand now/why :) [06:22] cast, :) [06:23] aroman: cd is always a shell builtin, because making it otherwise would not result in the shell changing it's cwd, [06:23] i don't even need to cd to it, I don't think. This whole thing is so that my themes/icons stay automatically up-to-date with bzr [06:23] aroman: I'm not sure who owns the folder it could be user2 but it's just not you [06:23] wait, even as root I can't cd into it. it says no such file or directory :/ [06:24] aroman: so are you sure the link you created exists? [06:25] alright I got it working. [06:25] aroman: I should say are you sure the folder you linked to exists? [06:26] What I did was create the symlink in the folder that I wanted to symlink to, NOT as root. Then I just sudo cp -R'd it to the destination. I suspect this worked because there's something wacky that happens when you create a symlink as root [06:27] aroman: I guess that works, I use nautilus to create links in a similar maner [06:27] sacarlson, yeah, i guess nautilus is probably easier, but I like figuring out the cmd-line way.

[07:00] i am totally new to ubuntu/linux and am messing around with an ubuntu distro on linode - can someone point me to documentation that explains the ubuntu folder structure breakdown? (bin, boot, dev, etc....) [07:00] arunkumar413: no, might be sudo grub-install helps [07:00] TuXeS: keep it elsewhere though, please [07:01] blah blah [07:01] it seems like the /bin/ directory is commands? [07:01] Jesus will get ya >:) [07:01] how can I open a file explorer window from terminal to the current path I am in? [07:01] EvilPhoenix: yeah, it'll overwrite everything unless it's there already, and then it usually overwrites with the delta I beleive [07:01] Know1edge: nautilus . will help [07:01] EvilPhoenix: or maybe i just need to run the same upgrade again. [07:01] because now its downloading again [07:02] rallias: okay, i've got a bunch of results for that query [07:02] cgcardona: the export command will help you a little [07:02] nutrapi: so lets say that in dirA there's files a,b,c,d. and I rsync that recursively to dirB. Then later add files e,f,g to dirA, and modify file a. Will it copy e,f,g to dirB and rewrite dirB/a with dirA/a (which was modified since the first rsync)? [07:03] Know1edge, cd /foldername/subfolder/ [07:03] adnap: Install linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic and linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic-pae [07:03] TuXeS, off topic again [07:03] quellhorst: i upgrade versions every few versions, but i usually do it for LTS releases [07:03] EvilPhoenix: though last time I did a recursive rsync, for a directory such as /crap/sql to /crapb/whereIwantedsqltobe I ended up with a 'crap/sql' dir in my /crapb/whereIwantedsqltobe [07:03] blah blah blah [07:03] pksadiq: I'm not really sure what that did [07:04] sunrize: thats to change directory, I was trying to open a nautilus window -- pksadiq helped me [07:04] sudo apt-get purge off topic [07:04] lol [07:04] rallias: should i leave the driver from the "additional drivers" utility uninstalled? [07:04] cgcardona: see the PATH variable, that gives all the path of executables, [07:04] EvilPhoenix: yes. it will add the new files as well [07:04] adnap: Yes, for the moment [07:04] cgcardona: enough to use echo $PATH [07:04] rigved: and provide the modifications done to dirA/a to dirB/a? [07:04] in the hypothetical [07:05] rallias: and do you mean "linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36-maverick-generic" and "''-pe"?

Remove the kernel number. [07:06] EvilPhoenix: if you have perms and executability parms, yes I believe. Though if you've modified A, and A is pretty huge on another system...you may want to use --partial in case of connection resets [07:06] nutrapi: assume its all localhost files [07:06] and no remote files [07:06] EvilPhoenix: the backup is performed in a incremental way. so if file a in DirA is modified, only the changes are sent to the file a in DirB. so now both files in DirA and B are the same after the backup [07:06] ah so I see :) [07:07] thanks [07:07] rallias: okay, the first one exists, but i don't see the pae one without a kernel number.

[07:09] rallias: okay, i've installed the package [07:09] adnap: Now try the normal wifi steps. [07:09] rallias: can you be specific? i don't know what you mean.

[07:14] yagoo, how do I stop these from getting logged? [07:14] rigved: nutrapi: is there a way to sync over the deletes that were done in /path/dirA over to /path/dirB? Assuming that a file had been deleted since the prior rsync [07:14] chid: Then turn off logging. [07:15] what is it logging?

[07:15] chid, comeon... check the proftpd manual ;-) [07:15] So is there any way that I can tell if I'm using the linux-image-virtual kernel if uname no longer reports the kernel variation and instead just continually reports 'generic-pae'? [07:15] Google "Disable dmesg logs" [07:15] yagoo, is this really a proftpd log?

[07:16] rallias: i will have to come back tomorrow. i have to go to bed now. thanks for trying to help! [07:16] chid, you probably can disable logging.. check the manpage for the switch [07:16] adnap: Sorry I couldn't [07:16] hi all. How do I use dd to copy a ISO that I have onto a usb drive? (mounted at /dev/sdc1) [07:16] yagoo, I doubt it's proftpd [07:17] rallias: np [07:17] EvilPhoenix: I think you can just use the --delete param [07:17] rallias, can't seem to find a way to disable dmesg logs :/ or a site rather [07:17] bikcmp:sudo dd if=path/to/iso of=/dev/sdc1 [07:17] bikcmp, there are frontends for that.. but i too was asking the same question.. i'm betting you can but for "/dev/sdc" << nothing else absolutely nothing else should be on the usb drive (and assuming you 100% /dev/sdc is your usb drive) [07:17] pksadiq: thanks so much :) [07:17] anybody know how I would get word out about my open source wallpaper rotator?

[07:18] chid, try man proftpd.conf or 'apropos proftp' [07:18] pksadiq: wait, it's in /media/someid. Would I do of=/media/8727848 or w/e? [07:18] EvilPhoenix: use the --delete-before switch. [07:18] or /dev/sdc1 [07:18] bikcmp:it installs to the first partition of your drive, to remove partitions and install onto usb trysudo dd if=path/to/iso of=/dev/sdc , but I think it's not good [07:18] yagoo, proftp makes a log to a file [07:19] what I'm getting isn't proftpd's fault [07:19] rigved: thanks [07:19] bikcmp: first umount it then do with /dev/sdc1 [07:19] pksadiq: think it's not good? [07:19] pksadiq: umount it? [07:19] i think it's already mounted [07:19] bikcmp: I mean unmount it [07:19] chid, that's not really a ubuntu question.. apparently you don't know how to use the console.. you should :) [07:19] pksadiq: cant understand it [07:19] pksadiq: how would I do that, i'm sorry :P [07:19] EvilPhoenix: not sure if that's what you are looking for, but it the only switch that comes anywhere close to what you want! [07:20] trying to make sure i do this right :P [07:20] rigved: yeah --delete-before is a better option, with most people running in vm's and hosted vps environments now.

[07:20] sudo dd if=/home/jason/iATKOS_v7/iATKOS_v7/iATKOS_v7.iso of=/dev/sdc1 [07:20] correct? [07:20] i updated my grub to generate a new config file and it doesn't detect my background. here is the my 05_debian_theme file. why isn't the image being detected and added to grub.cfg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/547405/. i also find that the default resolution is not detected from /etc/default/grub. i set it to 1600x900 but no mention of a resolution at all in grub.cfg. [07:20] not sure how to unmount it though [07:20] bikcmp: yes [07:20] omfg [07:21] rigved: if you're aware of how git repos work, so like when you delete blah.file.that.was.in.the.last.push, the destination (i.e. the git repository) removes that file since its not in the most recent push. [07:21] pksadiq: it needs to be unmounted though? [07:21] BTW: Vendetta Online has a current price of 0.00 atm. [07:21] pksadiq: could you tell me how to unmount it? [07:21] he's has a f hackintosh .iso .. kick bikcmp [07:21] yagoo: heh [07:21] anyone have an idea of how to execute the reverse of this: sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install > my-packages ; sudo aptitude install . I've tried just replacing install with remove and I've tried cat my-packages | sudo aptitude remove and sudo aptitude remove > my-packages . Apt starts okay, finds 0 packages to change, and exits [07:21] bikcmp: try sudo umount /media/mountedone [07:21] i have a ton of copies of mac os x [07:21] rigved: nutrapi: that's kinda what I need: a backup of dirA put into dirB, and any deletions from dirA since the last rsync to be applied to dirB too. [07:21] pksadiq: okay. It needs to be unmounted for dd to work? [07:22] bikcmp: yes, [07:22] * yagoo says bikcmp is not asking how to make ubuntu usb installer but a Hackintosh install usb [07:22] yagoo, please mind your language [07:22] okay, unmounted.

[07:23] omg [07:23] cdbs: heh, i like ubuntu too :P [07:23] EvilPhoenix: ok i read the manual. it's the same as what you want. --delete is also a good option but --delete-before deletes before the backup starts. it is better to do a --dry-run once atleast to see what will happen. then you can set it be done automatically.

[07:30] nutrapi: indeed. /query please? [07:30] arunkumar413: and please not that you can only label one partition as bootable, if you changed to another, the old grub will not work [07:30] note* [07:31] dnivra: if they are the same, then run sudo update-grub. that should ensure that the changes have been reflected after you made those modifications earlier.

[07:51] i got a question [07:51] ty [07:52] xangua: haha i think i found a solution [07:52] im trying to install back track 3 onto a thumb drive using unetbootin , however when i select the version of back track that i want , it doesnt dl the ISO to the thumb drive it just makes the thumb drive bootable but there isnt an ISO [07:52] I deleted all pulse audio and jackd-related synaptic installs attempting to fix sound. Now when I boot, I get login screen from all users but none of the password start gnome [07:52] xangua: check this out http://askritesh.blogspot.com/2009/03/make-mozilla-firefox-look-like-google.html [07:53] pr0t0c0n, ubuntu involved there somehow? [07:53] i dl loaded the ISO seaperately and copied it to the thumb drive and ran unetbootin but it still doesnt recognize that there is an iso on the drive [07:53] Anway go back and tell Ubuntu to undo the damage? [07:53] I must have deleted something very important [07:53] arunkumar413: Why do you think that installing grub to a partition will make boting multiple OSs easier? [07:53] no , but i didnt feel like registering my nick with those guys in #linux [07:53] i just tried to sudo adduser with a user who wasn't part of the sudoers group and got his message "thisguy is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" - where will that be reported to? [07:53] Fezzler, a restore point? [07:54] pr0t0c0n, #backtrack-linux not here [07:54] bazhang: something like that [07:54] k [07:54] Jordan_U: next time if i install another OS, i'll just update that boot loader to include this OS also [07:54] Fezzler, try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [07:54] bazhang: It boots to my log-in screen (5 users) with no background image [07:55] bazhang: How? [07:55] Fezzler, remove then reinstall it [07:55] bazhang: Distructive of other stuff? [07:55] cgcardona: it will probly apear in /var/log/auth.log file [07:55] Fezzler, NO [07:55] arunkumar413: What bootloader to you plan to have in the mbr? [07:56] bazhang: You know the command lines? (using irssi at the moment in comand line mode) [07:56] Jordan_U: no bootloader mbr. i would like to have grub as a boot loader in a separate boot partiton [07:56] sacarlson: there it was - thanks :0 [07:56] :) [07:56] Can someone help me with the Turtle Beach Z2's microphone being recognized as a device? [07:56] arunkumar413: If you have no bootloader in the mbr then the drive will not boot. [07:56] bazhang: Thanks [07:57] arunkumar413: i will have default boot loader in mbr [07:57] bazhang: You know the command lines? (using irssi at the moment in comand line mode) [07:57] arunkumar413: What is your "default" bootloader? [07:58] Jordan_U: he could change his bios to point to that partition at boot then it would work but I'm not sure what advantage that would have [07:58] Jordan_U: i dont know. it must be the one which comes with the motherboard [07:59] Fezzler: irssi is command line client (or someone sneeky made gui) [07:59] sacarlson: THe BIOS loads code from the mbr, what happens from that point on depends on what code is contained in the MBR. BIOSs don't know anything about partitions. [07:59] i updated my grub to generate a new config file and it doesn't detect my background. here is the my 05_debian_theme file. why isn't the image being detected and added to grub.cfg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/547405/. i also find that the default resolution is not detected from /etc/default/grub. i set it to 1600x900 but no mention of a resolution at all in grub.cfg. I guess none of configuration files are being detected? [08:00] how do I restore a deleted desktop [08:00] Jordan_U: you might be correct there I think all you can do is point at sda or sdb not sure if bios can point at sdb4 as the mbr [08:00] xangua: need something like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8790/ [08:00] anyone know of an updated firefox add-on like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8790/ [08:00] dnivra: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub?

[08:03] TheEmpath: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:03] Fezzler: ok, you there? [08:03] dnivra: And your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [08:03] * TheEmpath eryday im floodsulin' [08:04] TheEmpath, not so sure about that.

[08:05] Did I hose my video driver? [08:05] I was trying to fix my sound and deleted all pulse and jackd files [08:06] something important went with them [08:06] Jordan_U, i also get the following error when i run 'sudo update-grub': cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory. [08:07] merry christmas from the west coast btw [08:08] Fezzler: first, try xinit -- :1 vt8 [08:08] TheEmpath: Merry Christmas dude [08:08] shcherbak: That is not destructive in anyway, right? [08:09] Fezzler: no [08:09] schmidtm: Can I try it in another instance of Ubuntu - tty3? [08:09] Fezzler: this command brings up xserver, so if this fails we can see type of error === dnivra_ is now known as dnivra [08:10] Fezzler: any tty [08:10] part [08:10] shcherbak: thanks [08:11] dnivra: Does the error go away if you run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" first? (replace sda with another drive if you want grub on a different drive, but do *not* select a partition like sda1). [08:11] hi [08:11] Jordan_U, let me try doing that. [08:11] I have a Core 2 Duo CPU and 2GB RAM and I want to use 64bit version [08:12] should I add more RAM [08:12] My computer's bootloader keeps timing out and I am reading I need to add rootdelay=90 to the grub/menu.lst However 10.10 uses Grub2 and there isn't a menu.lst anymore. Anyone know where i would make that change? [08:12] Jordan_U, awesome! totally! you rule! what was wrong? [08:13] dnivra: It's something that is still probably wrong, the grub-pc package is not configured to install grub anywhere on upgrades (at least that's my guess). If that's true you're lucky to find out this way as it would eventually leave you with an unbootable system. [08:14] dnivra: Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" and "debconf-show grub-pc"? [08:15] Jordan_U, debconf-show grub-pc output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547418/ [08:16] Jordan_U, "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" output here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/547419/ [08:17] dnivra: That is the problem, you never actually completed the upgrade from grub legacy to grub2. To do that run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy". [08:17] Jordan_U, so if any time the /etc/grub.d entries go undetected, it'll be fixed by re-installing grub? [08:17] dnivra: No. [08:18] Jordan_U, um i never had grub legacy. this machine is a clean install of 10.04 to 10.10 and i re-installed grub again today using 9.10 CD. grub-legacy not involved anywhere! [08:18] Jordan_U, should I run that command? [08:19] dnivra: Your debconf-show output says otherwise. Are you sure you didn't accidentily install the "grub" package (which contains grub-legacy) at any point? [08:19] hello everybody [08:19] Jordan_U, pretty sure. i followed the grub2 documentation of ubuntu to re-install. [08:20] i have problem with installation of nvidia drivers [08:20] can anybody help me [08:20] Jordan_U, what suggested that i might have grub-legacy? should i run 'sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy' ? [08:20] dnivra: Well, whatever the reason, for your current configuration you do need to run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy". [08:21] suraj, well i sure can't but if you say what exactly is your problem, someone should be able to. [08:21] hello all [08:21] Jordan_U, okay then. thanks a lot! i'll run the command. [08:21] I have a question about multimonitor support, I have a 4500mhd laptop with an HDMI and a VGA port. I want to be able to close my laptop, hook up the HDMI to one monitor, and the VGA to my second monitor and be able to use both of them side-by-side in GNOME / KDE. How's support for this going under Linux? :) [08:21] when is install the recommended drivers by ubuntu...my ubuntu desktop crashes and it start in commands mode [08:21] how to configure a server to allow remote desktops prompting logging screens [08:22] when i install the recommended drivers by ubuntu...my ubuntu desktop crashes and it start in commands mode [08:22] dnivra: The flag "grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true". That means that the grub-pc packaging is assuming that grub2 is being loaded from grub legacy's menu.lst, which means that the grub-pc packaging will never run grub-install. [08:23] how to configure a server to allow remote desktops prompting logging screens [08:23] shcherbak: that didn't do anything [08:24] Fezzler: what was quit message? [08:24] Jordan_U, oh okay i see-it assumes grub-legacy is the default boot loader and grub2 is chainloaded from it. right? [08:24] shcherbak: gave me a litte root command line and then started login screen again and again password just cycled to login screen again [08:24] dnivra: Correct. [08:24] shcherbak: didn't notice one [08:24] Fezzler: wait. [08:25] shcherbak: try again and report back? [08:25] Fezzler: small window in left top corner? [08:25] shcherbak: yes sir [08:25] shcherbak: said boot in the prompt [08:26] how to configure a ubuntu remote desktops to open logging screen [08:26] Fezzler: ok, how did you get to gdm (ubuntu splash screen with password) [08:27] shcherbak: I just reboot and it comes up and shows all 5 users [08:27] Fezzler: boot prompt, thats not good [08:27] Jordan_U, makes more sense though no idea why it was caused. one more question-i have another partition with Ubuntu in it which will be soon upgraded to natty and i'm expecting grub to be installed in that. suppose i want grub to installed to be installed in maverick's partition, is it enough if i run 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' from maverick? [08:27] shcherbak: I am the admin. BUT, there is no Ubuntu graphical background [08:27] arvind_khadri: When you talk about installing grub there are two main places that it's installed to. There is the boot sector, which is either the first sector of a drive or the first sector of a partition, and there is the filesystem containing the files loaded by grub including its configuration file. I think that what you are trying to do is keep grub's files (not its boot sector) on a partition separate from all your OSs. Even if you do that, you still [08:28] how to configure a ubuntu remote desktops to open logging screen [08:28] Fezzler: open that window again, leave it, and swich back to tty [08:28] Jordan_U, not me :) [08:29] dnivra: Temporarily, yes, but then natty will still re-run grub-install whenever there is a grub-pc upgrade. [08:29] Fezzler: wait, you've enabled root account? [08:29] how can I log a user out of the GUI as root? [08:29] hello [08:29] Jordan_U, okay then; will keep running every time there is an upgrade. thanks a lot! [08:29] arvind_khadri: Sorry, it looks like the person that was meant for left :( [08:31] after i run video in a browser for about a minute or two it makes the whole system choppy and slow. any ideas on fix? Ubuntu 10.10 [08:31] I removed nvidia driver , switched back to nouveau.But now I can only run with live cd [08:32] dnivra: There are other options that wouldn't require you to run grub-install every time there grub-pc is upgraded in natty but none that really fits at the moment. It's on my todo list to try to change that. [08:32] birdinatux: what process do you see when you run top? [08:33] !love [08:34] manbeast, chrom is first then Xorg then chrome two more times. [08:34] shcherbak: Just checked [08:34] birdinatux: when you play a video, check the processes [08:35] schmidtm: it gave me my normal prompt. And when I hit down arrow rebuilt the login screen, complete with user icons [08:35] manbeast, that is with a vid playing [08:36] any1 here can help me with installation of nvidia drivers???? [08:36] shcherbak: so we know my login is good [08:36] Fezzler: hm [08:36] birdinatux: when the problem happens, look at the processes and see if the vid player plugin is there, you can probably just kill it if it hangs [08:36] suraj: Have you tried System > Administration > Additional Drivers? [08:36] shcherbak: and we know the PC boots; and some service provides the login page and graphics [08:37] shcherbak: but what controls the ubuntu image behind the login page and what isn't taking my password and just recycling me to the user login process? [08:37] Fezzler: well, soon you going to reinstall half of system, but not yet, first... === striife is now known as Striife [08:38] Fezzler: gdm <-- display manager [08:38] shcherbak: a way to check if it is working or missing?

[08:40] Fezzler: fisrt in tty navigate around to see do you have access to files, second in white small window run gedit (any small gui application), then swich to tty where you run xinit (look for errors), crtl-c and startx [08:41] shcherbak: I do have access to files [08:41] shcherbak: I know that [08:41] Fezzler: irssi is best! (remove yours xchats!) [08:42] Fezzler: ok, gedit, check errors (), and kill xinit and startx [08:46] whats a good program to monitor system temperatures? [08:46] GUI or CLI?

The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [09:00] xiong: no ... it is a stupid problem ... I pressed keys and the document inside document viewer app is 90 degree rotated [09:00] aLeSD, Oh. Then you somehow rotated it and just want to get it back to what it was. I'll try this myself but while I fool around, you might try quitting Document Viewer and re-opening the file. [09:01] THANKS [09:01] xiong, already tried ... the doc stays rotated [09:01] aLeSD, Let me fool around a bit. I'm good at fooling around.

How can I get it to where they can't even see each other? [09:05] ecinx, recall what you did last to make it prompt like that [09:05] Is there any mssql gui client tools?

It is natural to expect this in the "view" menu." I agree. [09:06] xiong, lol ... thanks [09:06] I agree [09:06] aLeSD, Problem solved? [09:07] yes [09:07] thanks [09:07] Is there any mssql gui client tools? [09:07] anyone know a good list of all linux commands (preferably sorted by function) [09:07] aLeSD, No problem. Glad I could help. [09:07] and I close ubuntu software manager, and open synaptic package manager, and it tellsme " You have 4 broken packages on your system! use broken filter to locate them. [09:08] nidal, Um, dunno if that's realistic. I can create a new "Linux command" at any time. Would you like to try a tutorial; or perhaps a comprehensive list of POSIX commands? [09:09] nidal, There's such things as Linux cheat sheets. They can be very handy. [09:09] xiong: a list of POSIX commands would be nice... [09:09] if i go to edit and hit fix broken packages, nothing really happens, but the status bar on the bottom says successfully firxed dependency problems. but nothing really happend.

You don't need to be a "programmer" to write a shell script. [09:14] arunkumar413: hi. you are mis-informed about how bootloaders work! [09:14] echo "hello world" [09:14] shcherbak: any ideas why those 3 errors would cause login screen to cycle? [09:15] The bash version of Life (http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/contributed-scripts.html#LIFESLOW) is probably not.... [09:15] does anyone know how to log users out through the cli? [09:15] psycho_oreos, hello world to you, too. Ho-ho-ho. [09:16] shcherbak: with me or have I worn out my welcome? [09:16] hello i have probelm with pidjin messanger..if i type m the msn replace m with am..can anyone help me? [09:16] xiong, hehe merry christmas [09:17] how do i uninstall google earth if i installed it from the google earth website [09:17] how do i install anything, if i can't install anything :( [09:17] linux/unix has many commands in it....but its hard to find a command to do something you want...for example the other day i wanted to securely erase a file...after a bit of looking around by found that the command for it was "shred" [09:17] it would be nice if there was a single place from which to look for a command [09:18] Goddard: run the .deb package which you had downloaded again. it will ask you whether you want to remove. [09:18] rigved: was just about to do that gotta redownload was hoping for a command to do it though [09:18] synaptic tells me have 4 broken packages and i get this error when i hit apply [09:18] tried apt-get remove but that returned nothing [09:18] http://pastebin.com/KBqPSLYu [09:18] hello i have probelm with pidjin messanger..if i type m the msn replace m with am..can anyone help me? [09:19] I think I need to reinstall my nvidia driver. Login in low graphics mode and doesn't accept password, just keeps cycling stuck in command mode right now [09:19] Goddard: do you still have the .deb package which you had used to install earlier? [09:19] can someone find me the install command line for nvidia GeoForce FX 5500 card? [09:19] Goddard: you can use that to uninstall [09:19] nidal, Respectfully, may I suggest a reorientation of thinking? You say "commands in Linux" but strictly speaking, Linux is only the kernel; some shells have built-in commands. Linux is not monolithic in the broader sense; it's an ecology of different parts. [09:20] Goddard: if you installed via package manager (any), then you can use that again to uninstall [09:20] Fezzler: have a look --> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=138828 (need nap now) [09:20] rigved: i do have it i click on it and it opens ubuntu software center and the only option i have is to reinstall [09:20] Fezzler: just go into System>Administration and hit the extra or proprietary drivers program [09:20] shcherbak: Can't look. Have no browser in command line mode [09:21] Goddard: ok. that's weird. try this in the Terminal - sudo apt-get remove [09:21] note: the mangling of va_list has changed in gcc 4.4 , is this anythig i should worry about? [09:21] when compiling [09:21] Pentium3: GLX will not load without nvida driver [09:21] rigved: ya i gave that a shot [09:21] xiong : ok i am guessing you mean that "shred" is not a linux command per se ....ok is there a list of commands/programs in ubuntu distro [09:21] nidal, You may find it easier to "get" this if you see the openness. There is no one place to go, no one canonical list, no Big Plan. You might even want to back off, mentally, from the word "command" and think in terms of individual programs, each of which does something different. [09:22] h [09:22] Goddard: or maybe the .deb only adds the google earth ppa to your sources.list. open up Software Center and try to remove using that [09:22] so here is a question... how can one tell the total amount of time it takes a system to boot? [09:22] hello, i'm trying to share a folder with another computer [09:22] rigved: ahh i got it ..was listed as google-earth-stable [09:22] nidal, The base distro itself is barely useful -- only what can fit on a standard CD. Immediately on install, you want to start adding stuff to make your machine more useful. You have great freedom in this. [09:22] Fezzler: ouch!, sorry but I cannot help you there, I just got my GeForce FX5500 drivers through the proprietary drivers program but if GUI won't even load... [09:22] perhaps with bootchartd? [09:22] anyway thanks for your time ..have to go out now bye..... [09:22] i left clicked on it, clicked on share options [09:23] Goddard: yes. so the .deb package only added the google-earth to your sources.list. you can safely remove it using Software. [09:23] cryptk: depends on how much stuff you have to load and the power of your PC. [09:23] it said it had to install some things [09:23] Pentium3: Hey, which driver does it show or your FX5500 [09:23] nidal, The general procedure for answering the question "How do I do X?" is to Google for "X", then follow links until you stumble on a program that looks good; then download and install it, read the README, and try it. [09:23] it did, restarted, tried again but got this error [09:23] bump my problems [09:23] Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory) [09:23] any help? [09:23] seamlessrdp: are there some restrictions for OSses? My kvm/vistsa32 works, but the seamless isn't seamless in real [09:24] Fezzler: I cant really figure that out right now, I have the computer over at home (I am on vacation) [09:24] if i type "m" on pidgin messanger ,the pidgin replace the "m" with am.can anyone help me ? [09:24] I am wanting to clock the bootup of an Ubuntu VPS that I have... thing is, bootchartd works with your initram... I don't have an initram [09:24] bump my problems again [09:24] Fezzler: so you don't get any sort of GUI? [09:24] olx69: are you sure that you have installed the latest guest additions? [09:24] s/The/A/ [09:24] I can't install anything. [09:25] Pentium3: System starts, I get login screen for me and family members complete with icons. [09:25] login then [09:25] Hows it going? [09:25] Pentium3: But the Ubuntu splash graphic is gone and when I try to login in it just cycles to the same login screen [09:26] cryptk: initramfs is the initial RAM and File System that is used to boot the kernel befote the actual RAM and File System have been booted. [09:26] Pentium3: Groundhog day! :) [09:26] Pentium3: Booted into safe mode and found three reported errors [09:26] rigved, I know what an initram is... my system does not have one [09:26] ecinx, I'm not sure what that means but let's work on it. [09:26] Pentium3: Before all this I was messing with pulse audio and jackd [09:26] hi, my uncles comp had to reboot, cause i'd left it in twm and he couldnt logout to gnome, so on next reboot it wont start Xorg, i've used another system, and -o bind /dev and mounted proc, and chrooted to the broken originalsys, how do i use dpkg to check all packages [09:26] Fezzler: run your recover mode and tell it to go into failsafe X and tell it to set default X configuation. [09:27] does ubuntu have a tempoary file cleaner like Windows? [09:27] Hello. [09:27] Pentium3: Couldn't get the to work so I had Synaptic remove any Pulse or Jackd related files [09:27] xiong: thank you [09:27] rigved, bootchartd places itself in the initram so that it can start at the very beginning of the systems boot process, that won't work on a system that does not have an initram (such as mine) [09:27] Pentium3: I must have nuked something else [09:27] i have probem with pidgin [09:27] ecinx, What packages are broken? Are they all related to the same thing or is any one of them independent? Pick one. [09:27] actually, not only do I not have an initram, I don't have a boot partition either, lol [09:28] Pentium3: BRB, I'll try that [09:28] ?Quit [09:28] I really don't have an idea [09:28] cryptk: locate initramfs [09:28] I know i can't install anything via kpackage manager [09:28] cryptk: does that not give you anything? [09:28] synaptic, or ubuntu software manager [09:28] how do i use dpkg to repair damage done after rebooting an ext4 [09:28] ???? [09:29] rigved, I know what I am talking about... this is a virtualized server running on a xen host... there is NO boot partition, there is NO initramfs [09:29] ecinx, Then this isn't specifically difficulty in fixing/upgrading a package. You say you can't install anything at all via k. [09:29] all of that is provided by the host server [09:29] cryptk: oh. ok. virtual server. ok then i don't know. sorry. :) === game2 is now known as Guest3958 [09:30] ive been checking man, but no simple option to check all options [09:31] see, that is my connundrum.. I would like a way to time/chart the bootup... normally I would use bootchartd, but with no initram, I don't think that iwll eb an option [09:31] Hello, I'm struggling for a few hours now, and I can not find out how to delete single emails in evolution. It is actually possible to do that ? or only emptying the trash is possible ? [09:31] kantor, I use evolution and I think you're correct. [09:31] if Fezzler comes on could you tell him that I'll brb? [09:32] Pentium3: didn't work [09:32] Fezzler: really? [09:32] kantor, "Delete" really means "move to Trash folder". [09:33] Fezzler: try reinstalling ubuntu [09:33] Pentium3: just came back to same menu [09:33] quit [09:33] Fezzler: I'll brb [09:33] Pentium3: don't want to lose data / setup [09:33] Fezzler: have to go do something. [09:33] kantor: i don't understand. select the e-mails that you want to delete (use Ctrl+ click). then click on the delete button on the top. right-click on the Trash folder. select Empty Trash > Expunge [09:33] < [09:33] Hello. [09:34] Fezzler: anyway brb [09:34] rigved, yes, but If you have 123. . . mails in your trash and you want to permanently delete only three of them ? [09:34] all I need is command line to install correct driver for nvidia FX 5500 [09:34] guys, has anyone heard about troubles with multitouch on touchpad on toshiba satellite notebooks? I've got such a problem but I can't google anything like that... and it doesn't look like a hardware problem since in win7 multitouch works just fine by default [09:34] I can't google it because I'm stuck in command line mode [09:34] xiong: sorry irc crashed [09:35] kantor: are all the 123 e-mails in the same folder? use shift select or Ctrl+A to select them all [09:35] kantor, Move all messages from Trash to a temp folder; "delete" the three; empty Trash. [09:35] http://pastebin.com/KBqPSLYu [09:35] hey guys ... I'm doing up some AppleTV's as christmas gifts (now 4:30am here .. heh) ... [09:36] ecinx, Welcome back. Sorry; not sure what to tell you now. After you crashed out, I read the last line of your comment, where you have trouble with Synaptic as well. What about apt-get or dpkg? [09:36] !ot | Tcalp [09:36] Tcalp: #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! [09:36] (... installing XBMC / (ubuntu based installation ) ... [09:36] can someone google command line for installing nvidia GeoForce FX5500 in Lucid? [09:36] hello [09:36] i dont know what apt-get nor dpkg are, xiong [09:37] xiong, rigved yes that is a solution. I started to use evolution from yesterday. I really like it, but there are some things which are not so nice . . . [09:37] I have a question [09:37] Fezzler: isn't nouveau default in lucid... [09:37] ecinx, Synaptic is a GUI frontend, ultimately, to dpkg. The command line tool apt-get is another frontend. [09:37] but when I plugin a NTFS formatted usb hard drive the system seems to be having trouble reading the drive / going really slow (stuck trying to read ?? ~~ the activity led is going constant on the usb drive) .. [09:37] should i use 32 or 64 bit [09:38] ubuntu, how much ram do you have? [09:38] kantor: evolution is good. i have never had any problems with it. [09:38] dirty-harry: not sure, I did see nouveau mentioning in config file reviewed in safemode [09:38] and do you have a 64 bit processor? [09:38] cryptk: core 2 duo [09:38] kantor, It's probably frowned upon to put anything into the Trash that you *don't* want to destroy permanently. So, no offense, you may not be able to stir up much interest in selective emptying. [09:38] xiong: okay, i get it, but i don't know how to use neither [09:38] dirty-harry: can you help? I feel luck, punk :) [09:39] cryptk: is it 64 [09:39] yep [09:39] :) [09:39] ubuntu, how much ram does your system have in it? [09:39] cryptk: but i have few ram [09:39] ecinx, Not sure this will help at all, anyway. But you might try apt-get and see if that works. If so, then you can use apt-get to reinstall Synaptic. [09:39] guys is there a good bind9 frontend? [09:39] cryptk: 2gb [09:39] you can use either 32 or 64... but in order to use more than 4GB of ram you would need 64 [09:39] so for you, just pick one, either should work [09:40] rigved, xiong: by the way there is/was a strange thing that I did not understood. The Date column in evolution displayed some strange times for some emails. And this happened yesterday when I fetched all my emails in evolution. There were a few mails for which the received time was let say 1/1/2008, and the date column displayed 2/3/2010 . . . [09:40] cryptk: oh nice [09:40] who works only in terminal on ubuntu? [09:40] well, I jst replace nvidia with nouveau and look at the xorg.conf and switch off kernelmode for now [09:40] dirty-harry: just need command line instruction to install driver compatible for nvidia FX5500 === Jacky is now known as JackyChao [09:40] lukas, I am a full time linux systems administrator... the terminal is my playground [09:40] I don't know how to use apt-get, but i also have problems with kubuntu software update and ubuntu's as well [09:40] cryptk: so what if I add more 2gb of ram? [09:40] lol [09:40] ecinx, I can't promise you that this will fix it, either. It's disturbing that both k's package manager and Synaptic are broken for you. [09:40] Fezzler: well, I jst replace nvidia with nouveau and look at the xorg.conf and switch off kernelmode for now [09:41] xiong, I really want to get used to it, because over all I like it. [09:41] cryptk: so what matters it the CPU > 4gb ram 64bit is needed right [09:41] ubuntu, if you were to upgrade the computer to more than 4GB of ram, you would need 64-bit to use all of it... 32GB will only be able to use about 3.8GB or so [09:41] dirty-harry: not sure what that means or what to do [09:41] ubuntu, got it! [09:41] dirty-harry: stuck in command line mode [09:41] thanks :) [09:41] synaptic is stuck trying to install JRE 6 i think [09:41] the others i don't know [09:41] ecinx, You may have a deeper issue, which may be over my head. [09:41] cryptk: *32bit not gb :P [09:42] kantor: have you set your timezone correctly? [09:42] Fezzler: yes, I see that and my family is try to pull me off to bit fam-meeting... [09:42] ubuntu, yep... typo [09:42] :\ thanks [09:42] Fezzler: jst sec [09:42] happens to the best of us [09:42] cryptk: so im fine with 2gb for now but i should add more right? [09:42] sucks, that I'm a total noob [09:43] ubuntu, that depends on what you use your system for... [09:43] ecinx, Not easy for me to see where you are. Try unchecking all packages -- so that you are not demanding Synaptic do anything at all. The "Apply" button should be grayed out, disabled. [09:43] how i can write greek? [09:43] is there a command line, low graphics browser akin to irssi? [09:43] but if you upgrade to more than 4GB, you would need 64 bit (same applies to all operating systems) [09:43] Fezzler, lynx [09:43] Fezzler: back [09:43] Pentium3: Yea [09:43] rigved, yes. only for my information, date means the sent time, and receive the time the email arrived to the yahoo pop server ? [09:44] Fezzler, elinks [09:44] ecinx, Then try checking just one box -- doesn't matter what but look for a very small package with few dependencies. Try a library, not an application. See if you can install that. [09:44] i get an error while opengin synaptic [09:44] ecinx, what error? [09:44] Fezzler: You can use the live cd to copy all of your important stuff to flash before reinstalling. [09:44] Pentium3: I "think" I nuked my nvidia driver when I uninstalled all the pulse audio and jackd-related files from Synatic [09:44] ecinx, Ah, that's interesting. What's the error? [09:44] cryptk: so in 64bit can i extract files faster than in 32bit? [09:44] you have 4 broken packages on your system. use the "broken" filter to locate them [09:45] ecinx, That's not an error. Dismiss it. [09:45] Pentium3: why not just reinstall nvidia compatible driver? [09:45] the apply button is not grayed out [09:45] is* [09:45] ubuntu, that would vary depending on lots of details [09:45] Fezzler: Might be a problem there, but I really don't know how to reinstall the drivers [09:45] cryptk: what i mean is the overall performance is better right [09:45] Fezzler: i.e. the package names [09:45] how to change region and language? [09:45] 64 bit is not necessarily faster or slower than 32 bit [09:45] it just enables you to do more things [09:45] ecinx, That's great. So, you see, you are not yet asking Synaptic to do anything. So, if you press the disabled button, it does nothing, and that's what you want. That's a step forward. [09:45] basically [09:46] cryptk: for example? [09:46] Fezzler: sorry, but I really need to go now.. [09:46] ecinx, So, now pick at random some sort of lib. [09:46] dirty-harry: merry xmas! [09:46] you can use more ram, and you can use processors with 64 bit instructions [09:46] Fezzler: if you can get the package names then you can apt-get them. [09:47] flash plugin [09:47] Warning Mark additional requrired changes [09:47] Fezzler: kms are disabled on bootoptions and nouveau should be easy by apt-get but I don't find an exact 2 line tut [09:47] if you are using more than the 4GB of ram that 32 bit will allow, then your system would likely be faster than 32 bit, but that is because of the extra ram, not necessarially because the OS is 64 bit [09:47] Pentium3: Yes, I was hoping someone with a browser would help me out [09:47] Fezzler: you too [09:47] ubuntu, see what I mean? 64 bit OS allows you to do things that will make the system faster, but if you are running 64 bit without doing those things, you likely wouldn't notice a difference [09:47] Fezzler: so its an nVidia GeForce FX5500? [09:48] Fezzler: just for confirmation [09:48] ecinx, Back out of that. Let's keep it simple. [09:48] cryptk: yeah so 32bit supports 4gb but not more than that? [09:48] Pentium3: Yes, nvidia GeoForce FX5500 [09:48] ok [09:48] ecinx, Try installing libfuse-perl. [09:48] Fezzler: ok give me and google a few mins [09:49] cryptk: if i have 4gb i dont need to install 64bit version right [09:49] hello, I'm having problems trying to share a folder [09:49] same thing, but much fewer mark additional required changes [09:49] can someone halep me [09:49] help me [09:49] !ask | casadrya [09:49] casadrya: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:49] merry christmas! [09:49] Pentium3: I think it was working with a package 173? [09:50] !pae | ubuntu [09:50] ubuntu: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [09:50] Pentium3: or something [09:50] ubuntu, read this http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/clearing-up-the-3264-bit-memory-limit-confusion/3124 [09:50] I'm getting the following error: [09:50] Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory) [09:50] that will explain it [09:50] oh ok [09:50] tks rigved and casadrya [09:50] xiong: not authenticated openjdk 6 jre headless "hah" , and libfuse-perl [09:50] Fezzler: type in "sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 [09:50] ubuntu: you are welcome [09:51] Pentium3: here goes something [09:51] Fezzler: what ubuntu version do you have? 10.04 [09:51] rigved: yes [09:51] ubuntu, just know that PAE is a little slower than just straight 64 bit... but not slow enough that would notice a difference [09:51] Fezzler: that should do it [09:51] rigved: why - something to consider before I install that driver? [09:51] hm [09:51] Fezzler: then i think that the latest for 10.04 if 195 [09:51] Does anyone know anything about Verizon and tethering with bluetooth in 10.10? I'm using the bluetooth DUN wizard but Verizon isn't a listed option - only T-Mobile, AT&T, and three others... [09:52] rigved: thanks. I know 173 was working [09:52] ecinx, This is a bit difficult because I can't say offhand what has no dependencies. I might pick something on my machine for which I have already got dependencies installed. [09:52] and the amount of ram usabe on a 32 bit machine (excluding PAE) will vary depending on other system spec [09:52] Fezzler: just saying that you could directly install 195. but if you want install 173. it's very stable [09:52] the article I linked explains all of that [09:52] cryptk: yeah thanks [09:52] Fezzler: I just suggested it because it was an early release which would probably work to limp you into X so you could check for the latest [09:52] hmmm, ok i'll try again later [09:53] hello, im trying to get a script run with crontables. i add the crontable and the script starts(script for downloading movie trailers. But the script only downloads 1 trailer. If i manually start the script it downloads everything. DOes anyone know what it could be ? [09:53] ecinx, But you did say something else that tickles my antenna. Are you somehow running Synaptic without entering your password? [09:53] it asks for the password at the very beggining [09:53] I'm trying to upgrade a machine to 10.04 using "apt-get dist-upgrade", but part of that process wants to upgrade some bits of Java. That upgrade process hangs my machine, and when I go to resume the upgrade I get "you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem". But of course that hangs the machine [09:54] Fortunately, I don't need java. But I can't remove it without running "sudo dpkg --configure -a", which, again, hangs the machine :) [09:54] ecinx, That's correct. Not sure what "not authenticated" means here. Didn't you say that jdk was involved in some earlier effort you made to install/upgrade/repair something? [09:54] Is there a way to tell it to finish that process *except* for Java? [09:54] Fezzler: best of luck to you and I'm off, Merry Christmas. [09:54] ecinx, See if you can install a package that doesn't depend on jdk. [09:55] maybe i have a prob w/ jdk [09:55] Good Night all, and a Merry Christmas to you all. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [09:56] ecinx, That's what I'd like to isolate. Try installing libmemetic0. [09:56] "A 64-bit computer will be able to address up to 16.8 million TB (16 exabytes) although constraints are in place that limit this to around 1TB." o.O [09:56] ecinx, Doesn't matter what you install; you can remove it later. I'd just like to see Synaptic working for you at all. [09:57] well [09:57] nvidia 173 installed [09:57] i can't find libmemetric [09:57] commencing reboot [09:57] libmemetic [09:57] "Some applications such as Flash do run slower in 64-bit mode, however work continues to improve on this." doesnt make sense [09:57] ecinx, Don't type; copy-and-paste into the Synaptic search box. [09:58] ubuntu, that is because of limitations in flash [09:58] ecinx, Actually, I'm wrong here. Sorry. [09:59] the flash guys are just now starting to make 64 bit native versions of flash [09:59] ubuntu: it means that flash apps run slowly on 64-bit systems. But due to some work in-progress, its slowly improving [09:59] ecinx, Search for 'mimetic'. [09:59] so I visit youtube a lot i should stick to 32bit :p [10:00] well, with your system specs, you don't really have a reason to use 64 bit.. [10:00] me personally I have flash working very well in 64 bit, but it took a little work [10:00] ecinx, I get 4 hits on that. Try checking only libmimetic0 to install, then click Apply. [10:00] cryptk: yeah i dont need 4gb of ram :p [10:00] mark additional req changes openjdk 6 [10:00] ubuntu: yes. there is a flash plugin for 64-bit linux in the development phase [10:00] k [10:01] ecinx, Ok. That seems funny to me. Try some random stuff, see if everything demands openjdk. [10:01] ketralnis: try aptitude [10:02] rigved: what do you mean? "sudo aptitude remove sun-java6-jdk" still says "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" [10:03] ecinx, It may well be that Synaptic itself depends on openjdk; perhaps the K package manager does, also. I'd think that Synaptic then would not run but who knows. [10:03] i think i got an ida [10:03] ketralnis: have you tried that - sudo dpkg --configure -a? [10:03] hi guys. when i go to google.com iceweasel links me to google.de even when i have tor on. so I think its a config in iceweasel.. how can I deactivate this? [10:03] rigved: Yes. Like I said, it triggers a bug in EC2 that hangs the machine as part of the Java upgrade process [10:03] Merry christmas everyone [10:04] hii all [10:04] linux-ec2 bug #538057 if you're curious [10:04] How do I make evolution close/exit to the system tray/icon and stay there to notify me about mail and such? [10:04] ketralnis: i don't know about that but try removing the lock files and then try again [10:04] So now i want to let it resume its upgrade, *except* for the Java packages, because the upgrade of those hangs the machine [10:05] rigved: ah, that's just triggered on the presence of a lockfile? I figured it was triggered on an inconsistent package database. Do you know where said lockfile exists? [10:06] I need help for debugging a sound issue on 9.04. It works for seconds then stops. I can hear it again just for one second if I make the system beep. [10:06] My front audio jack doesnt work what can be the problem [10:06] ecinx, ketralnis, I think your issues are related. There may be some trouble with the jdk file on the repo. [10:07] my broken dependencies are JRE related [10:07] I have audio in, mic in in the front, 6 jack in the back and spdif [10:07] I'd be happy to just remove Java altogether [10:07] rigved: btw removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock does not eliminate that message [10:08] ketralnis: sudo cp /etc/cache/apt/lock ~/ [10:08] ketralnis: then sudo rm /etc/cache/apt/lock [10:08] I don't have an /etc/cache [10:09] now i have , not 4, but 3 broken [10:09] Someone to help me solving my sound issue ? Please have mercy... [10:09] ketralnis: locate /apt/lock [10:11] hey all [10:11] rigved: I'm fairly certain that this isn't an issue of lockfiles. I say that because strace indicates that it creates the locks *before* it checks /var/lib/dpkg/updates [10:11] !ask | olivier [10:11] olivier: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:11] anyone know of a tool to calibrate my laptops touchscreen? [10:11] my google fu fails [10:12] ketralnis: ok. sorry then i do not know about this. :) [10:13] Anyone know what conditions necessitate "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem", and how I can resolve them, potentially by hand, without actually running that command? [10:13] Specifically there's an upgrade step for a package that I want to avoid, and I'm okay with just removing the package instead [10:13] plop all [10:14] Damn bots, I've already detailed my problem, should I explain another time ? And be likened to a flooder ? [10:14] ketralnis, usually a interuption of a update [10:14] nit-wit: that is indeed what happened here. Unfortunately it's because one of those upgrade steps crashes the EC2 instance hosting the machine (which is why I don't want it to run again) [10:14] I'm getting this error when trying to run google earth--------------> /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found [10:15] why is this? [10:15] olivier: use pastebin to detail your problem and then give that link here as well as a short description here ;) [10:16] Phonic[UK]: http://setupguides.blogspot.com/2010/10/calibrating-touchscreen-in-ubuntu-1010.html [10:16] rigved: Ok, at once. [10:16] ketralnis, can you lock the package in synaptic or just remove it? Is it a dependent pckg [10:17] :/ [10:17] ShapeShifter499: did you install google earth using a the .bin file from the google website? [10:17] nit-wit: I don't have synaptic installed (and can't install it with dpkg in this state), do you know how to lock it from dpkg? [10:17] rigved no the 64 bit deb file [10:18] It's dependent but not for anything that I want, I'm perfectly happy to just lock the whole dep tree and remove it afterwards [10:18] ketralnis, are you just using cli [10:18] Yeah [10:18] ketralnis, I don't know the commands [10:18] ShapeShifter499: open up Software Center and check if it lists Google Earth as installed? [10:19] ecinx, That's progress! [10:19] yes [10:19] rigved it show it being installed, and I have the folder open right now... its like the CLI can't find google earth or something [10:19] i went to where it says broken dependencies [10:19] and try to uninstall [10:19] ecinx, Are the 3 currently broken packages related? [10:19] ShapeShifter499, sudo apt-get install lsb-core [10:20] ShapeShifter499: run it from Applications > Internet (i think) [10:20] yes [10:20] default-jre-headless icedtea-6-tre-cacao oopenjdk-6-jre-lib [10:20] rigved, I did first and it wouldn't run, so I took the command and tried from CLI and I got that error [10:20] ecinx, This issue may go on for a time. For reference, why not pastebin the names of all 3 packages. [10:21] ShapeShifter499: try what nit-wit says ^^ [10:21] doing that now [10:21] I have a netbook with a bcm4313 wireless networkcard and it works great now but when i do a "iwconfig" i see that my connection is "eth1", should it not be wlan0 or something? [10:21] ecinx, What I want you to do is explore the dependencies. There should not be any circular dependencies; therefore, at least one of those packages does not depend on either of the other two. Try installing just that one. [10:21] nit-wit, yay!!! thank you!! [10:22] nit-wit, that worked [10:22] ShapeShifter499: is it working now? [10:22] rigved, yay that worked [10:22] ShapeShifter499: ok [10:22] ShapeShifter499, I saw it on the Ubuntu Forums no problem [10:22] thanks for finding the solution for me [10:23] ShapeShifter499, I had lke version 5.2 until I found this a couple of days ago [10:23] *like [10:24] weird firefox wont open... [10:24] keeps telling me a version is all ready open [10:24] rigved and all of you who could help : http://pastebin.com/WGPxCp5z [10:24] oh never [10:25] *never mind [10:26] !9.04 | olivier [10:26] olivier: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu.

[10:26] olivier: 9.04 is no longer supported with updates. i suggest that you first install 10.04 [10:26] so how can i scan my hdd for errors and bad sectors? [10:27] I've got a 3-rd party proprietary application server daemon which can be started and stopped by couple of command lines. I need this daemon to start when the system starts up and correctly stopped on system shutting down. How do I correctly implement this? [10:27] crap, now back to three [10:27] !cron | nirazio [10:27] nirazio: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[10:32] ok, i have joined this group for the first time [10:33] can some help me here [10:33] sriubuntu1104, ask a question first [10:34] Skype instance in Unity Panel, not maintaining Single instance [10:34] is it normal for gtkpod and rhythmbox to crash while importing song on an ipod without leaving a crash report and without putting songs on the ipod?

[10:36] everybody disappeared [10:37] right when i am having hdd problems [10:37] :P [10:38] i wanted to check, whether it is a Bug, before i log in Launchpad, with Skype instance in Unity Panel [10:38] MJBrune, with badblocks [10:38] i am looking to run ubuntu cos debian is starting to annoy me a few things. [10:39] 1. what version of ubuntu should i run on my asus eeepc netbook? i hear the netbook adition is heavily modified. what is the speed difference like between desktop ubuntu and netbook ubuntu? I do 95% of the stuff in the console, but still want a responsive gui. [10:39] my df -h looks really weird [10:40] ddalton, you could use the regular ubuntu, but une is made specially for such small screens [10:40] edition* [10:40] hi.. I just installed ubuntu 10.04... but I can't login [10:40] i'm getting a authentication failure [10:40] ddalton, mostly the difference is the configurability (or lack thereof) [10:41] bazhang: well I'm blind so screen doesn't really worry me, what is the speed difference between the two like? is ubuntu netbook better suited to lower end specs? [10:41] ddalton, not really, no. for low end something like lubuntu [10:41] help [10:41] bazhang: oh does that use a different default desktop or something? [10:42] attidude, pastebin the exact error and give us the url [10:42] ddalton, openbox and lxde [10:42] ddalton, also chromium is the default browser [10:42] do you know how can I add custom location weather plugin in Ubuntu [10:42] when i boot up ubuntu... it asks me to login.. when I enter the username and password ... it says authentication failure [10:42] !paste | attidude [10:42] attidude: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[10:43] ddalton, yeppers [10:43] ddalton, the -desktop packages [10:44] attidude, without more info very difficult to troubleshoot [10:44] http://pastebin.ca/2028799 does this look normal [10:44] hi guys, can some one help me? [10:44] why do the other slices have no fs? [10:44] bazhang: fantastic, so it sounds like i want the standard ubuntu which i could modify myself manually? [10:45] bazhang, merry christmas [10:45] ddalton, you could do so, either by installing a -core package, or using the minimal iso and building up, or remastering something [10:45] ddalton, the minimal iso is around 16-20mb [10:46] Hi, how can i let tar create a archive, and if archive exists append to archive? It looks like there are no options for it [10:46] oh, no i was planning to install the main distro so the bulk of the stuff is installed. [10:47] hello, im trying to get a script run with crontables. i add the crontable and the script starts(script for downloading movie trailers. But the script only downloads 1 trailer. If i manually start the script it downloads everything. DOes anyone know what it could be ? [10:47] ddalton, you could do that as well, then pare down if you so desired [10:47] hello all. I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 on my notebook. When I pass three steps installation failed. gparted failed with mistake. Have anybody the same problem? Sorry for my English, I am from russia. [10:48] AbiGeuS, what was the exact (mistake) error message [10:48] AbiGeuS, paste.ubuntu.com if more than a single line [10:48] hello [10:48] heys!! i ineed help!! i have HP Pavilion Dv6 i7, there's 8G RAM , under windows they appear: 8G but under ubuntu they only appear 3.8G why? Ubuntu is 64-bit !!plz help [10:48] have anybody used openqrm with ubuntu [10:48] AbiGeuS, there is #ubuntu-ru if wish for Russian help as well [10:49] plus lxc containers [10:49] Can someone tell me how to change a user's password without prompting for it; Something like "changepasswd username encryptedPass" [10:49] i'm probably going to be ok with the standard desktop for when it is required (less than 5% of the time) [10:49] bazhang: do you see any problems with me just mounting my /home debian partition under ubuntu as /home? it should work and apps should be fine using my config files set up under debian shouldn't they? [10:49] ddalton: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:50] ddalton, I'd think the data would be fine, but config is somewhat doubtful [10:50] bazhang: arg, the bot yelled at me dunno if you got that. [10:50] ddalton, got it [10:50] bazhang: i should be fine mounting my /home debian partition from debian under ubuntu right? [10:50] to make config files available to apps under ubtunu [10:50] ubuntu* [10:50] ddalton, doubtful the config files would work 100% [10:51] bazhang: really, i thought things like emacs, mutt, lynx etc. wuld be pretty standard across distro? [10:51] ddalton, sure for some, but best to be prepared for the glitch or three [10:52] bazhang: another thing that got under my nerves when playing with i believe it was the netbook edition was the fact wifi would be switched off when switching to a vc (alt+ctr+f1/f6.) can i use wifi from the console? [10:52] (with the default manager network-manager) or shall i configure wpasupplicant or something? [10:52] bazhang: fair enough [10:53] ddalton, sure, cli is fine; /msg ubottu wifi for a complete guide/links to such [10:53] great [10:54] bazhang: and i'm guessing you probably wouldn't know. is there any accessible installer under ubuntu with screenreader/braille etc.? [10:54] !info orca [10:54] Package orca does not exist in maverick [10:54] ddalton, wifi works on my ctrl-alt-f1 in desktop edition [10:54] !info gnome-orca [10:54] gnome-orca (source: gnome-orca): Scriptable screen reader. In component main, is optional. Version 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 783 kB, installed size 4408 kB [10:55] ddalton, gnome-orca it seems is a screenreader [10:55] yes, indeed though i wonder if it works with your gui installer... perhaps I'll examine the wiki. [10:56] bazhang: or do you have a text based installer? [10:56] ecinx, How's it going? [10:56] ddalton, there is console-braille as well; apt-cache search braille may turn up others [10:56] ddalton, the alternate iso uses ncurses [10:56] trying [10:56] elo [10:56] yes there is brltty as i said it's more an issue whether the installer supports these various packages [10:56] heys!! i ineed help!! i have HP Pavilion Dv6 i7, there's 8G RAM , under windows they appear: 8G but under ubuntu they only appear 3.8G why? Ubuntu is 64-bit !!plz help [10:56] ecinx, Were you able to install any package at all? That is, something downloaded, something installed. [10:57] ddalton, not sure about that one, sorry [10:57] nope [10:57] bazhang: does the alternate image package the gnome desktop etc.? [10:57] im stuck with this jre stuff [10:57] ddalton, yep [10:57] ecinx, Have you figured out the dependency tree for the broken packages? [10:57] is there a way to manually delete them? [10:57] so it doesn't really matter which one i use, i get the same stuff? [10:57] I don't know about linux [10:58] so I don't know what a dependency tree is [10:58] i suggest you fellas download 2clickupdate [10:58] ecinx, I would not consider trying to delete outright all your Java. It's likely that many, many other things depend on your Java system. [10:58] from the package manager [10:58] ddalton, for the most part, yes, though the alternate iso is more intuitive for partitioning, etc., in my view [10:58] ecinx, Do you understand what I mean by "dependency"? [10:58] it's jdk [10:58] !find 2clickupdate [10:58] Package/file 2clickupdate does not exist in maverick [10:59] and i think jdk is for programmin [10:59] Ibn_Ali_al-Turki, thats not a package [10:59] I need to install it again [10:59] for eclipse [10:59] bazhang: great. that leads to my final question (sorry about all the queries!) [10:59] gparted wrote something like:gparted fails to be loaded [11:00] and Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:662 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. [11:00] i have a crap load of partitions here. like 7 and am already booting debian/windows. so i'm going to make a 15 gb partition under extended. can i tell the installer to install to this partition? [11:00] xiong: no, i don't know what it means but i have an idea [11:00] AbiGeuS, gparted from the livecd? the gparted livecd itself? [11:00] ecinx, Mm, I'm interested in some level of abstraction here. Please take a quick look at (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_graph). I'll be using terms related to that article. [11:00] ecinx, You don't need to get into it deeply. [11:01] gparted from livesd. I trying install ubuntu from livecd [11:01] yes [11:01] hello [11:02] can you help me [11:02] ! [11:03] ok [11:03] lahcene, ask a question first [11:03] sorry [11:03] sorry irc crashed again [11:03] not matter [11:03] i'm new [11:03] just to say you hay [11:03] i will contact you lather [11:03] lahcene, actual support issue?

[11:04] yes [11:04] quassel [11:04] lahcene, then ask, just chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:04] it's for Kubuntu i think but im not on the kubuntu [11:04] im on gnome [11:04] ok [11:04] thank you [11:05] i will contact you next time [11:05] hi [11:05] bye [11:05] xiong: this looks like discrete math [11:05] I can start gparted by gksu gparted /dev/sda [11:06] ecinx, Please don't get into it too deeply. But there are some key concepts here, not just key to your immediate issue but to computers in general. [11:07] ecinx, If you like, you can step over into the next room and /join #ubuntu-tree. All are welcome to this. I'll explain some very basic concepts in graph theory as they relate to computers in general. [11:07] xiong, there is no such official channel, please keep it here [11:07] I'll be talking at some length on the topic of graphs, dependencies, cycles, trees, and so forth. [11:08] bazhang, You do not want me to pollute this chan with an extended lecture, I'm sure. [11:10] bazhang: think my connection dropped out. do you have any ideas if i can install directly to a particular partition which is under my extended partition? [11:10] (using text based installer from alternate image) [11:10] /join #ubuntu-tree [11:12] rs0832: arg, you don't want the white space before the /:P [11:12] ddalton, not sure about that one [11:12] alrighty, no worries, thanks for all your help! [11:12] ddalton, i know it was a typo :) [11:12] ddalton, was standing and typing:p [11:13] bazhang: have any idea? [11:14] converting vob to mp4 with vlc and the output is pixelated, is this a bug? [11:15] tarvid, it is not a bug :) [11:15] then what is it? [11:15] the output is unusable [11:15] tarvid, you have to select your configurations properly [11:16] not much to configure in the gui [11:16] tarvid: Have you considered using FFmpeg? [11:16] tarvid, what about resolutions? [11:16] http://libertylist.altervista.org/?q=I.Mercenari.The.Expendables# [11:17] hello neo [11:17] not in tue gui [11:18] tarvid, yes use ffmpeg [11:18] then it is a bug in vlc but perhaps not in ffmpeg? [11:18] hi, since today, when I am booting my notebook, the boot screen does not disappier until I press ctrl+alt+del. after that, the gnome login screen appears and I am able to log in. I think it has something todo with my wifi link which worked fine before. on last boot, dmesg said that the system was unable to load the firmware for that (suddenly). what's going on? [11:19] this is a stable version correct? ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso [11:19] cos last updated date is sat dec 25... [11:19] ddalton, yes it is "stable" but not LTS [11:20] why not lts? [11:20] tarvid: I suspect you have used the defaults with vlc and these are often not particularly sensitive. Much more control is possible with FFmpeg [11:20] then it is a bug in vlc? [11:20] is it upstream or in packaging? [11:21] tarvid: No, it is simply not always the best tool for this job [11:21] tarvid, not a bug.. its just that vlc does not give that much configuration flexibility for this [11:21] but it is supposed to "work" isn't it? [11:21] tarvid, all programs of the type will do this.. [11:22] tarvid, its just that vlc is made for watching videos more than converting them [11:22] tarvid: This is your best bet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [11:23] Hello I need some help with setting up HDMI connection on intel graphics? [11:23] x264 is mp4? [11:23] tarvid, yes [11:23] then it is a packaging bug? [11:24] tarvid: x264 is an open source encoder that produces h.264 video, mp4 in this case is a container [11:24] tarvid, nope.. [11:24] tarvid, (i mean it is not a bug.. what andrew_46 said is right*) [11:25] this would be easier in "Arch" [11:25] * andrew_46 is usually not right :) [11:25] tarvid: The man who wrote the FFmpeg guide is an Arch user :) [11:25] tarvid, this is a problem you have with the tool [11:26] http://libertylist.altervista.org/?q=I.Mercenari.The.Expendables# [11:27] bye [11:28] ffmpeg -i lucey.VOB lucey.mp4 works perfectly [11:29] so it is a bug in vlc? not ffmpeg [11:29] I may have the medibuntu version of ffmpeg, how would I know? [11:29] Had similar issues with mov files [11:29] tarvid, there is no bug [11:30] tarvid: Medibuntu does not package FFmpeg as such, have you used their package of libavcodec perhaps? [11:30] FFmpeg version SVN-r0.5.1-4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1 works [11:30] One knows less and less as you add repositories trying to fix problems [11:31] I run natty on my laptop, maybe I should try that?

It is enabled (10.1) and I get no error messages, the apps (on Facebook/Firefox) simply won't load. [11:37] tarvid: Your copy of FFmpeg is missing all the good stuff like x264, mp3 and aac... Are you using Maverick? [11:38] meco, did you try updating? [11:38] andrew_46, Lucid up-to-date [11:38] rs0832: I'll try that. [11:38] meco, oj [11:38] meco, ok* [11:38] merry christmas [11:39] No one knows how to get repo Nvidia drivers working after have had manual install of the drivers?

[11:40] ussaine [11:40] kad__, yes [11:40] bazhang, aha then why do you think 8G RAM don't appear under Ubuntu ? [11:40] bazhang, under windows7, they appear! [11:41] andrew_46, thanks, I'll try medibuntu, that will pass along to other users better if it works === Mohan_chml is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [11:42] tarvid: But once this is in place you will be able to encode your vob to h.264 video and aac sound in mp4 container, it will look great :) [11:43] actually the ffmpeg command above worked fine [11:43] rs0832: I updated with no effect. It may not be related, but Firefox behaves odd also: even though its settings is to preserve windows when restarting, it reopens with Google's search page. [11:43] meco, hmm.. did you try disabling and re-enabling that feature? [11:44] rs0832: No, I'll try that [11:44] andrew_46, libavcodec-extra-52 is already the newest version. must have done that before === tgies_ is now known as tgies [11:45] hey guys anyone know how to tell the installer about my swap partition already set up (cos i use a swap partition for debian) [11:46] ddalton: in the manual partition, tell it to use the swap partition and also not to format that [11:47] rigved: ok, and i can also tell it to what partition to install to as well? i.e. i'm going to create a 12 gb or so partition under extended (type ext 3) [11:48] ddalton: ok. use the already partitioned space. tell the installer to use that. make sure that you tell it now to format [11:49] tarvid: Seems odd.....

Wife and I have ZI6 cameras and the MOV files are relatively large, looking for a way to move them around more conveniently [11:55] rigved: thanks i think i got it, but it will tell me like "sda7" or whatever im installing to correct? cos i have a couple of ext3 partions (home and debian install) [11:55] partitions* [11:56] i want to make a partition in an external HD I have via gparted, it keeps advising me to make a backup copy, because soma data may be lost, is there any way I can make the partition without the risk of losing data? [11:56] andrew_46, thanks and have a Merry Christmas [11:56] tarvid: Oops sorry, looks like Lucid FFmpeg does not use presets, this starts in Maverick [11:56] rs0832: Disable/enable did the trick! [11:56] tarvid: And you too :) [11:56] meco, k great :) [11:57] ddalton: yes. again i am reminding you to make sure that it does not format...otherwise its UUID will change and debian will not be able to mount it. not a problem as you can change fstab in debian later to mount this swap [11:58] sweedmike:thanx [11:58] HEY GUYZ.

[13:21] hello guys [13:21] So the problem is that I can't go to ubuntu, because there's no grub menu to select which one you want to boot [13:21] Ryu_Kurisu, NaviCat [13:21] hi guys i need help [13:21] ardian: Do you have a live CD or live USB on hand? === root is now known as Guest43412 [13:21] some way i deleted my xorg file conf what i have to do ? [13:21] Diamondcite: yes [13:21] ox3a: It isn opensource or in synaptic....but it is the most practical GUI tool I've used :) [13:22] Ryu_Kurisu, i see [13:22] Ryu_Kurisu, whats the normal time those 5 dots should blink? [13:23] peledziunas: From CD I think max. 2 minutes... [13:23] ardian: Try these instructions: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/547483/ [13:23] Ryu_Kurisu, I do not see for linux here: http://www.navicat.com/en/download/download.html [13:24] Diamondcite: okay thanx [13:24] ox3a: You don see the link with Tux? [13:24] On update i get this error http://pastebin.ca/2028893 can anyone help me??? [13:25] Guest43412: Looking into your issue please wait.. [13:25] Ryu_Kurisu, no [13:25] Err he left? [13:26] ox3a: Lite: http://download2.navicat.com/download/navicat9_lite_en.tar.gz Premium(30 day trail): http://download2.navicat.com/download/navicat9_premium_en.tar.gz [13:26] (From the page you sent me ox3a ;)) [13:26] Ryu_Kurisu, i also got "SORRY" [13:27] Ryu_Kurisu, in that md5 program i picked md5sum.txt from cd and then pressed compare and it says sums are different [13:27] but what is it comparing it with? [13:27] ox3a: Sorry? [13:28] You need to enter the comparing md5sum...I'll find a link where they are provided [13:28] Ryu_Kurisu, Because i did not find the link [13:28] Well...it should be there ox3a <_<" [13:28] Ryu_Kurisu, Now i can see [13:29] peledziunas: Here you can find the md5sum of your cd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [13:31] what happens when we uncomment GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true in /etc/default/grub. [13:32] nirazio: I think it would disappear either all the Linuxes present or the fail-safe boot options... [13:36] I'd like to ask the gma500 team a question but https://launchpad.net/~gma500 says that the mailing list is only for team members. Am I supposed to join the team to ask a question or is there some other common way of contacting the team? [13:37] Merry xmas and a happy new year to all the Ubuntu community! heres to another year of openess! [13:38] Ryu_Kurisu, yep, sums are different, another question if i try to make live USB with a external harddrive with information inside, wouldn't that program delete my files that are in harddrive now? [13:39] I have this encrypted FS on top of an LVM LV, which I don't want to be automatically mounted on boot time, but which I would like to make mountable to regular users through an entry in fstab. Is there a way to do this, since the device to be mounted is only available after opening it with cryptsetup? [13:40] is it possible to assign your domain name to your pc ip address, and make it your website server ? [13:40] lindi-: no clue really, but this looks reasonable: https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+contactuser [13:41] peledziunas: I think it does, but you might be able to add a folder to the created "image" on the USB....if you add a . in front of the folder name...it would be hidden I think...not sure thought [13:41] CyL: in fstab, add the option "noauto" [13:42] CarlFK: that would suffice for not mounting it at boot time, but there's still the problem of opening the device... [13:42] peledziunas: so folder name should be like ".backup" or something... [13:43] you mean if i put all my info on harddrive into hidden folder, then that USB program won't delete those files? [13:45] I first put them on the laptop/desktop and put them back when the program is finished peledziunas :) [13:46] pyghassen: yes you can, you want the domain to only effect your local network? [13:48] sacarlson, no I own a domain name and I want it to be hosted on my pc [13:48] ok.. i tried Ubuntu. My opinion: pretty stupid [13:49] Why can't it run windows software like Linspire? [13:49] pyghassen: yes that's what I do with my domain from godaddy.com [13:49] Hey folks, I wonder if anyone could help me with a problem I have? [13:49] what's the big deal about running windows software [13:50] hello everyone...i've got a question... is it possible that some of the system processes in ubuntu(crunchbang) which use my ipw2200 wifi card conflict with the capturing of handshakes??? [13:50] because i remember being able to capture wpa handshakes with this same card years ago... [13:50] though i am able to deauth and capture the handshake with my other wifi card... rt73 (usb dongle) .. but the antenna is way weaker than the ipw2200 one... [13:50] the ipw2200 gives me more results with airodump-ng command, shows more APs.... shortly - the signal is stronger [13:50] pyghassen: but is you home computer in a nat network for your local network? if you want to be seen inside and outside your network you would need to run bind9 [13:51] sacarlson, godaddy is no help for me, coz I'm not the one who bought it from them, a hosting company bought for me [13:51] pyghassen: it maters not who you register you domain it's all the same [13:51] My USB Ports on my old Laptop have decided to stop working after I did a bios update. In Wnidows it states that there are not enough system resources (Code 12) and in Ubuntu it's not recognising ANY usb devices plugged in, so I assume it's a problem with the BIOS not assigning the ports the right IRQs or something. Can anyone help? [13:52] sacarlson, what is it the bind9 [13:52] pyghassen: can you change the dns server of the registered server? [13:52] noms, try in, in ##hardware. [13:52] pyghassen: bind9 is the dns server software that runs on linux === ya is now known as bitsmix [13:53] i_is_broke: Thanks [13:53] hw 2 connect bluetooth modem using terminal [13:53] sacarlson, what dns server should i put? [13:54] somebody help me [13:54] CarlFK: thanks, "Message sent to GMA500 Team" [13:54] pyghassen: your registry should allow you to determine who you want to be the master dns server of your domain [13:54] xcuse me gys [13:54] sacarlson, should I intall it in my laptop? [13:54] pls help me!!!!! [13:55] pyghassen: there are free services that can do the dns server from a static location. bind9 is only needed so your local network can see the same as the wan network [13:55] I run ubuntu 10.10 and use rhythmbox regularly with the albumartsearch plugin installed. However when I change the album art it is only temporary. On moving to the next song it automatically removes the previous song's album art cover..Why?? [13:56] pyghassen: again I assume you are on an adsl home network system that is nat, am I wrong? [13:56] hw 2 connect bluetooth modem using terminal? [13:56] I lost my network icon in my panel. I googled tried everything I read to fix it, but nothing worked. Can someone help me to get it back? [13:57] sacarlson, something like that, yeah, a 3G usb stick :) [13:58] pyghassen: a 3g stick is not a network, do you know what nat is? (network address translation) [13:58] sacarlson, I got my own ip address so I can bind on it right? [13:58] i need a failproof setup for alsa [13:58] i never got it working [13:58] sacarlson, sorry i missed that :) [13:58] and i'm sure i'll never will [13:58] pyghassen: again I don't know if you have a static address that is wan or not [13:58] (this is a headless server) [13:59] pyghassen, one can set dns server in /etc/resolv.config for example :nameserver 8.8.8.8 then underneath : nameserver 8.8.4.4 [13:59] sacarlson, i just need it temperately not all the time [13:59] pyghassen: without know what kind of a network connection you have there's not much I can do for you [14:00] sacarlson, should i run ifconfig to know? [14:00] pyghassen: if you just want to see it from that computer just modify the file /etc/hosts in you laptop, then you don't need to do much else but then only you will see mydomain.com [14:01] sacarlson, it's ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol [14:01] pyghassen: yes ipconfig will tell us if you are nat [14:02] sacarlson, so this no nat ? [14:02] pyghassen: do you care if it can be seen from wan or not (wan = world accesable network) [14:02] pyghassen, that dns server is google dns btw, and if you have router then you must configure it to google dns too, rather than auto [14:03] pyghassen: ppp0 is normaly nat yes [14:03] pyghassen: ifconfig would tell us more [14:03] pyghassen: the ip address [14:04] sacarlson, I just modify the dns in the my provider's interface to dns1.google.com ... [14:04] sacarlson, is this will help the matter? [14:04] pyghassen, dns addresses MUST be IP addresses [14:05] my provider doesn't accept ip address only domain name [14:05] hi, all amule servers are down? [14:05] pyghassen: you will need to setup a noip.com service to point your domain at since your ppp ip will always be changing [14:05] hi [14:06] sacarlson, i just want it to work for one time, to verify ownership [14:07] ZykoticK9, a dns address isn't an IP [14:07] my graphics card always gets very hot on ubuntu, i already turned the fan in my thinkpad t60p up to maximum but it doenst help. i suspect an ap uses many gpu. replacing compiz with kwin doesnt brought me anything either... [14:07] pyghassen: ok then just change it to the dns1.google.com would prove that as stated above [14:07] sacarlson, http://www.no-ip.com/ is it free? [14:07] is there a tol that lists wich processes my graphics card use? [14:07] pyghassen: yes it's free [14:07] sacarlson, what should i do now? [14:08] BluesKaj, i missed what the poster was doing exactly. But how could a DNS server be addressed by a DNS name? It couldn't. Thus we see IP addresses, and not Domain names, in /etc/resolv.conf [14:08] sacarlson, where should I click services? [14:09] ZykoticK9, they'r called nameservers in resolv.config [14:09] pyghassen: well the way I do it is I use EVERYDNS.NET it's also free and I have that point to no-ip.com as my cname address [14:09] hi, I need confirmation: all amule or emule servers are down? [14:09] does anybody can help me about how to install ubuntu on mac? [14:10] pyghassen: I run software noip2 that keeps no-ip.com updated to what my present address is and everydns.net points my surething.biz to that [14:10] sacarlson, i'm lost what should I do, there is dns manage plus should I go there? [14:10] leviatan: maybe not? [14:11] ao, in my country yes [14:11] pyghassen: yes dns manage would probly be where you tell your registry where to point [14:11] ao, it should be self-explanatory? [14:11] sacarlson, and what abou everydns? [14:12] leviatan: ?mean what? [14:12] pyghassen: that would be one possible dns server that you could use, there are many, this one is free [14:12] I'm not sure on Mac, but wouldn't you put in the CD and reboot? [14:13] * skraito say hi all [14:13] pyghassen: normaly they want two dns servers so you could setup NS1.EVERYDNS.NET and ns2.everydns.net [14:14] Ploozi: there do have some small problem on my mac,like partion [14:14] pyghassen: I'm sorry this is way off topic, if you want more info pm me [14:14] i dont have servers of emule , dreamule in ubuntu with wine and in windows too [14:14] ao, i dont have servers of emule , dreamule in ubuntu with wine and in windows too [14:14] leviatan: i think pt is more great [14:14] sacarlson, i'm sighing up on no_ip now [14:15] hw 2 connect bluetooth modem using termibnal? [14:15] I got a Logitech G700 mouse for christmas, and I'm wondering if there's a GUI application to map mouse buttons in Linux? [14:16] leviatan: According to amule, some servers are up [14:17] sombdy pls hlp!!! [14:17] oal, go into system settings, and adjust it. [14:17] oal, will be under input devices. [14:18] Hi, is anyone here on this fine day? :) I have a (intertronic) digital frame keyring, that mounts itself automatically as a CD-Rom on ubuntu and hence is unwritable. Does anyone know of a work around so I can put some pictures onto it? [14:18] pavanai: What do you mean bluetooth modem? Not enough details.. [14:18] What encoder does totem use to display videos? In about it says gstreamer, is this the encoder? [14:18] i_is_broke: gnome? [14:18] heverl, i believe xen [14:18] oal, yes. [14:18] Diamodcite:nokia n73 [14:18] kaddi: Those things usually have more than 1 partition, don't see the other ones? [14:18] oal, system, preferences, system settings. [14:19] i_is_broke, a video can't play in ffplay, mplayer, vlc. It just plays in totem. How can I use xen or gestreamer to convert it to mpeg? Any idea? [14:19] Diamondcite: not automatically.. it must be hidden.. do you know how i could make them visible? [14:19] mac is not very friendly to ubuntu [14:19] pyghassen: here's a document on how to set it up https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [14:19] diamondcite , i had servers with dreamule in ubuntu but i havent servers with emule in windows , why? [14:19] kaddi: Unfortunately I don't at the moment. [14:19] Diamondcite:iam using nokia n73 as modem [14:19] heverl, have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [14:19] Diamondcite: just check in /dev/by-path, the only thing showing up is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-12-25 15:07 pci-0000:00:1d.1-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sr0 [14:19] Well, it looks like I'll be using Ubuntu for the life of this notebook, my recovery CD's don't work anymore and the recovery partition has failed to be useful. [14:19] pavanai: The iphone guides should work fine for you =P [14:20] diamondcite, i use the last emule , why? [14:20] I want to set my mac partition's /Users/Anthony (mounted on ubuntu as /users/Anthony) as my home, but the mac partition does not automatically mount. How do I make it automatically mount? (it is not journaled and thus I have write access) [14:20] u mean i better try i fon? [14:20] pavanai: Did you install 'blueman' the bluetooth manager for ubuntu? [14:20] i_is_broke, I'll check. What if yes? (I'll use another pc) [14:20] so um lets say i cant use the chat program to log into my msn wtf ? [14:21] i_is_broke: Mine's in norwegian, what does the icon look like? [14:21] leviatan: I was just saying server like "edonkey server No.2" is working, nothing else... did you get a new list from the server list? [14:21] Hello [14:21] Diamiondcite:i connected my n 73 but ubuntu aint detect it as a modem [14:21] Merry X'mas [14:21] Diamondcite:i connected my n 73 but ubuntu aint detect it as a modem [14:22] heverl, it will probably have a symbol that looks like tools, close to the bottom of the list. [14:22] pavanai: http://myn900.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/tethered-n900-to-ubuntu-9-10-via-bluetooth/ <--- does this one work? [14:22] pavanai: Stranger question, have you ever thethers successfully before? [14:22] heverl, i would see if there was an update or install the gstreamer codecs.

[14:23] heverl, sorry wrong person. [14:23] so my usb doesn't save any my settings when shut down ? [14:23] leviatan: Sometimes you just need a new list of servers, as old servers do go down occasionally. [14:23] Diamondcite:its 4 n900 [14:24] i_is_broke: I must be blind :/ [14:24] pavanai: I don't have an N73, kind of difficult to help with it ^_^ [14:24] Just wants to wish everyone still a nice christmas!

Will get a cup of tea first ;) [14:28] pavanai: Please google the following terms... linux tether N73 [14:28] I'd have a small support question that actually concerns ubuntu server but might still be applicable here, didn't get a solution in #ubuntu-server [14:28] I need to pass a boot argument to the install [14:29] I understand that it can be done from the install menu but by then the computer has crashed [14:29] I'm using pxe [14:29] random_ubuntuer: have you tried the alternate CD? [14:29] And the computer I'm installing on needs the no-hlt instruction [14:29] Hi, is anyone here on this fine day? :) I have a (intertronic) digital frame keyring, that mounts itself automatically as a CD-Rom on ubuntu and hence is unwritable. Does anyone know of a work around so I can put some pictures onto it? [14:30] rigved, is there a alternative server install? [14:30] in any case I'm not using files from cd but from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [14:31] which i just understood might not be the server files : P [14:31] there's very little information on doing the net install of ubuntu server edition [14:32] diamoncite, I have used amule but no servers from version 2.6 [14:32] diamondcite, I have used amule but no servers from version 2.6 [14:34] leviatan: 2.6 is important? [14:34] leviatan: Are you getting your server list from http://gruk.org/server.met.gz [14:35] diamondcite, i must use another version more old? === lance is now known as Guest6219 [14:35] leviatan: Possibly I don't know, backup your current list address somewhere first. [14:36] diamondcite your link have errors in my mozilla [14:37] I installed Ubuntu Notebook edition on my notebook and something just isn't right?! http://i.imgur.com/r6vXO.jpg any advice? [14:38] leviatan: I.. just put that part in the Servers () box of amule.. [14:38] any idea what causes the constant spitting of "atom bios in a loop for more than 1second" on shutdown? [14:39] Hello everybody, my name is Jackomo. [14:39] hehe [14:39] vesa1, disable compiz? [14:39] hi jack [14:39] How can I do that? Especially since I can barely get to the GUI [14:39] ya [14:39] vesa1, what video chipset is your laptop [14:39] Hi Cak054 [14:39] vesa1, if possible look in admin hardware and choose the recommended driver for your graphics card and install [14:40] im trying to find that right now.... [14:40] how can i get to admin hardware? [14:40] the screen is completely illegible from the get go [14:40] vesa1, could reboot in recovery mode and choose safe X mode [14:41] vesa1: maybe try +f1 that might get you out of graphic mode at least to a console [14:41] vesa1, from you scrnshot I see that your panel is shgowing and seems accessible , look there [14:41] can anyone direct me to any material concerning installing ubuntu server using pxe? [14:41] mongy is there a way to do that during bootup [14:41] vesa1, that is during boot up..then you can see what you are doing and install the driver [14:41] ok [14:41] vesa1, recovery mode, then you get a menu, choose safe X [14:42] random_ubuntuer: I've installed with pxe before but not the server addition let me look [14:42] thanks === Kevin_ is now known as totyko [14:43] i'm still working on the keychain photo frame. This is the dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/4CK6pQf7 The last line says it detects a second full speed USB device after detecting the read only partition on the frame.. does that mean it sees the second partition and there may be a way of writing onto it? [14:43] j #ubuntu-es [14:43] there are some netboot files on the 10.10 server cf but not placed so it could boot [14:43] hello [14:43] diamondcite, does not matter but emule is an application that works worse every day and amule more yet, that's my opinion [14:43] mongy: th system boots right into the GUI, there's no way to choose recovery mode [14:43] there aren't any pxeboot.* files in the root of the install [14:44] I tried linking them but that just skrewed things up more : ) [14:44] any body here? [14:44] vesa1, hold shift [14:44] ok [14:44] vesa1, before it starts to boot.. you get grub menu [14:44] random_ubuntuer: I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer it has a method to use the iso file so that's what I would do in your case [14:44] which is the easiest way to convert the audio of a movie from ac3 to aac ? [14:44] someone remind what to change to do a do-release-upgrade for 10.04 server [14:45] Isn't that the page for setting up a pxe server [14:45] from 10.04 to 10.10 I mean... [14:45] not installing server edition using pxe : P [14:45] oh [14:45] I get your point [14:45] I'll check [14:45] random_ubuntuer: yes that's what you need to do to install with pxe boot [14:46] Yeah, I meant that I already have a functional pxe server but I just understood what you said about the iso file [14:46] ok booting into recovery mode [14:47] vesa1: did the +f1 keys not get it going? [14:47] merry christmas everybody [14:47] Hmm, that requires me to set up a local web server [14:47] random_ubuntuer: ya I recall that's what I did [14:47] oh no, wait [14:48] there's an option for tftpd too [14:48] mount --bind /media/cdrom/install/netboot/ /var/lib/tftpboot/ [14:48] random_ubuntuer , pxe from windows [14:48] ? [14:48] I basically used this option by copying the folder contents but guess I'll have to write the configuration files as well [14:49] random_ubuntuer: well I have used many options, I do vagly remember using iso in pxe, but later setup a more permanent persistant version [14:49] ugmg, no, linux laptop, the pxe already works, I have to add the right files now [14:49] OK OK! [14:49] thanks [14:50] I hoped that I would not have to learn the insides of pxe boot but I guess I have to [14:50] hello [14:51] my chipset is AMD M690E Chipset [14:51] random_ubuntuer: I've had major problems with some versions of ubuntu with pxe boot that were missing files in initrd but I think they fixed that [14:51] how do i install the display driver [14:52] vesa1, see if one exists. system-admin-additional drivers [14:52] yeah, well if i simply copy the contents of the install/netbook directory of ubuntu server cd, it searches for pxelinux.cfg and pxelinux.0 from the root of tftp directory but doesn't find them [14:52] Hello, i have discovered a "power saving" issue ubuntu 10.10 has [14:52] Getting this error on update "W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key " [14:52] they're in tftp root /ubuntu-installer/i386/ [14:52] when i run my netbook on battery it goes on power saving and the wifi starts lagging [14:52] at least pxelinux.0 is [14:52] mongy: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" === brian is now known as Guest56054 [14:52] but linking nor copying works [14:53] anyone know of a fix? or did i just find that bug?

[15:04] okay, back [15:05] what I did was to copy the pxelinux.cfg from regular install and link both the dir and pxelinux.0 to the root of tftpboot [15:05] pxelinux.0/default is a link to ../boot-screens/syslinux.cfg [15:05] привет [15:05] I'm not familar with syslinux syntax but I tried to just add "no-hlt" to the end of the file [15:06] !ru | shipchik [15:06] shipchik: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:06] but it didn't work [15:07] anyone know where ubuntu 10.10 keeps it networking confs? and its not /etc/network/interfaces [15:07] ah I see [15:07] random_ubuntuer: that link seems to be missing something, I don't see a pxeboot server ever installed [15:08] syslinux requires that I use the "append" option [15:08] sacarlson, don't worry, I think I'm almost there [15:08] syslinux is basically a boot loader, right? === sinergi is now known as Suganyot [15:08] mongy: just type lspci -vv | grep -i "VGA compatible controller" into the terminal windo verbatim? [15:09] vesa1, exactly as I wrote. lspci -vv | grep -i "VGA compatible controller" [15:10] hmm, intresting [15:10] basically the install menu is where the boot image is selected [15:10] and where I could add boot arguments [15:10] sacarlson, what is the purpose of a pxe boot server ? I 've been doing some research even wikis but it doesn't seem to be explained in a clear manner.

I'm researching also, I haven't had it installed in some time [15:12] What? eici, English please :) [15:12] vesa1, mongy i the the exact same output using "lspci | grep -i vga" as your much long command [15:13] ZykoticK9, im not perfect :) [15:13] random_ubuntuer, do you mean other pcs on a lan or remotely from the internet? [15:13] oh sorry. on many ubuntu and xubuntu installations I get the error "cant mount device /dev/sr0" or something like that [15:13] seems to be a common problem on many systems [15:13] lan usually [15:13] mongy, i wouldn't worry about it - no one is ;) [15:13] blueskaj, install from one pc to other one or many pc [15:13] Hi, can someone explain me what this line does?: apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 [15:13] For example I can install linux on computers that do not have a cd rom nor can boot from usb disks [15:13] can i just set up linux to boot without the fancy menus (as it does in safemode) all the time? [15:14] enc_, install multiple lib using one line [15:14] ugmg, but i need to download the libs first? [15:15] Can you do MEMTEST with ubuntu 10.10 from live cd like older version? [15:15] enc_, no, it downloads and installs [15:15] right [15:15] :) [15:15] but it does not wor , run or install anything? am i missing something? [15:15] any error [15:16] Installs a Apache a Webserver with PHP a scripting language and the module to use it via apache , ugmg [15:16] bug in the ubuntu installer that I'm too lazy to make a bug report for: if you put capital letters in the username, it will grey out "forward" without helpful information to tell first time users what they did wrong [15:17] does any one know? [15:17] random_ubuntuer: now it's coming back to me what does your file here look like? /var/lib/tftpboot [15:17] im sure previous ubuntu live cds [15:17] had the option to run memtest [15:17] ugmg, failed with return code 100 and error message, E: Unmet dependencies. Try..... [15:17] does 10.10 have it? [15:17] dang cant find a way to disable powersaving on my wirless nic :( [15:18] sacarlson, it contains pxelinux.cfg/, ubuntu-installer, pxelinux.0 and version.info... pxelinux.cfg and pxelinux.0 I copied from the regular install [15:18] rest of the files are from server edition cd [15:18] kinda leaves ubuntu b0rked on netbooks /laptops ;/ [15:18] ugmg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/547506/ [15:18] I finally understood that I can add boot arguments in the syslinux configuration file [15:18] random_ubuntuer: ok so lets take a look at that pxelinux.cfg there pastebin that [15:19] it's a link to ./ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/ [15:19] which contains file "default" [15:19] these are what I copied from another install [15:20] default itself refers to ../boot-screens/syslinux.cfg [15:20] random_ubuntuer: well in the iso method I think they replace that with there stuf [15:20] with which I'm currently playing around [15:20] yeah, it refers to another file which exists on the server edition cd [15:20] configuration file for syslinux [15:21] but what I'm trying to do, is add a boot argument but if the problem already rises before syslinux loads anything, then what I'm doing isn't helping [15:21] random_ubuntuer: does it get that far in your boot you get the menu? I had mine setup so I could pxe boot different system with a menu [15:21] yeah, I get to the menu [15:22] but then it crashes as well [15:22] that's what I'm trying to solve [15:22] I suspected that a certain boot argument could stop the crash [15:22] but I realised that the crash happens before any image is booted [15:22] during syslinux [15:23] random_ubuntuer: it just crashed with no error message or number? [15:23] yeah [15:23] the menu comes up and then no response [15:23] If i run this line: apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547506/ Any advice? [15:24] no ctrl+alt+del, no ctrl+alt+f1-12, nothing [15:24] the server currently had slackware installed [15:24] and that crashed at "checking halt" [15:24] random_ubuntuer: well the tftp is setup correct, I did have problems with some version as stated, maybe just try install something that we see people have already done then go back and try your version [15:24] which was solved by the "no-hlt" boot argument [15:25] enc_, have you tried running "apt-get -f install"? [15:25] random_ubuntuer: I'll have to go back to a system that is no longer running and see the files I had there now that I now were to look [15:26] ZykoticK9, no, what does it do? [15:26] the setup also crashes if I just use all files from vanilla's netboot.tar.gz [15:26] enc_, it tried to Fix installs [15:26] apt-get -f? What does that ZykoticK9? [15:26] force probablt [15:26] probably [15:26] Ryu_Kurisu, it is -f for fix [15:26] fix [15:27] Ow, like reinstall? [15:27] Or only try to fix? [15:27] sacarlson, I don't think this thing as that much to do with the pxe setup as much as the syslinux phase [15:28] random_ubuntuer: yes that's where I had the missing drivers I had to pull one from another version to get a newer one to boot [15:28] hmm, intresting [15:28] anyone know where ubuntu 10.10 keeps it networking confs? and its not /etc/network/interfaces [15:28] I'll check the syslinux configuration files for a sec and see if I can meddle with them [15:28] random_ubuntuer: this file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 I had to replace [15:29] yeah, I got it from regular ubuntu netinstall [15:29] as well as pxelinux.cfg [15:29] ZykoticK9, apt-get -f install kinda like freezes and disconnects me from server, im trying to do it remotely === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:29] random_ubuntuer: try pull it from 10.10 since it seems people are using it [15:30] why gnome-shell has minimizing icons in activities ??? [15:30] I got it from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ so it is from 10.10 [15:30] enc_, sorry i have no idea, best of luck. [15:31] ZykoticK9, thank you [15:31] I understand how I can add boot options using syslinux [15:31] but the crash happens before any boot, at the syslinux menu [15:31] you said you had to replace some drivers, where does syslinux select the driver? [15:32] random_ubuntuer: ok well that must be good then, it could be that the network device on your boot computer doesn't have a driver in that pxelinux.0 file, did you try boot another system pxeboot? [15:32] ahh, not, I didn't mean network driver, I was thinking of video drivers [15:32] the network part works, it seems [15:32] the rest doesn't seem to [15:33] random_ubuntuer: oh it boots into grub? [15:33] I all, just installed Ubuntu...I can ping, but will not allow me to update or install any software. Telnet is working fine. Any ideas? [15:33] the install cd doesn't use grub, it uses syslinux [15:33] and that's where it boots [15:34] do I get the following correctly: [15:34] the install cd boots [15:34] and runs syslinux [15:34] which is the menu where the install/command-line install/advanced options/help options are [15:34] and then, according to which is chosen, it boots the actual linux kernel image [15:34] right? [15:35] you can at least update the packages? [15:35] random_ubuntuer: oh I forgot I can test it with virtualbox too, you can also test your pxeboot with virtualbox [15:36] Sonax: no, not using apt-get update [15:36] anyone know where ubuntu 10.10 keeps it networking confs? and its not /etc/network/interfaces [15:36] hmm, that's an idea [15:36] that way I cound see, if the problems happens because of the server hardware or my configuration [15:36] random_ubuntuer: if the probem is only with your laptop you are working to install then your pxeboot server should still work with virtualbox to simulate another system that boots from your server [15:36] Sonax: I keep getting....W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en.bz2 Unable to connect to web2.myserver.com:80: [15:37] sacarlson, yeah, I'll have to configura virtualbox to be on the same network as host machine however [15:37] random_ubuntuer: with virtualbox I can also duplicate what you did and test it [15:37] haven't done that before [15:37] random_ubuntuer: I have [15:38] alright, I installed virtualbox again, let [15:38] random_ubuntuer: just setup the boot sequence in the virtualbox to boot net [15:38] let's see what happens [15:38] okay [15:39] wedel [15:39] Sonax: any ideas? === dawid is now known as wedel [15:41] hello [15:42] sacarlson, from where can I set the boot sequence? [15:42] random_ubuntuer: let me look [15:42] ahh, from the first run wizard it seems [15:43] it requires media for installation [15:43] wonder if I can use network as media : P [15:43] random_ubuntuer: under system boot order [15:44] where's that [15:44] ahh, saw from the screenshot [15:44] random_ubuntuer: are you running virtuabox gui? oh ok [15:44] hello [15:45] hehe, I could also just boot without inserting media and select boot options then [15:45] FATAL: could not read from the boot medium [15:45] random_ubuntuer: I have the disks in that system empty [15:45] I guess I'll have to disconnect from net again and set the system up for booting [15:45] the question is then, are my host computer and virtualized computer on the same lan currently? [15:46] Has anyone here got a AVM-FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick to work? [15:46] random_ubuntuer: I also have cd and hd uncheck so they will never try to boot from them [15:47] Guys, is that true? Does ubuntu.com redirect to the appropriate-language site? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/26741/ [15:47] sacarlson, I'll disconnect for a sec and try [15:47] hi is there any channel for Xubuntu (I'd like it in spanish) [15:47] question: i'm experiencing sudden shutdowns in 10.10, usually while watching longer flash videos (sc2 replays on youtube). what could this be? [15:47] do i need to worry if my cpu usage goes to 100% very frequently? [15:47] random_ubuntuer: ok [15:47] hi is there any channel for Xubuntu (I'd like it in spanish)????

[15:51] sacarlson, I still can't get the virt machine to boot from the host [15:52] !ask | Fire [15:52] virtualbox runs its own dhcp server on the host-only local net? [15:52] Fire: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:52] random_ubuntuer: I"m still seting up my tftp [15:52] how can I make the virtualbox slaves to use a dhcp server on the host machine [15:52] random_ubuntuer: I've just modifited /etc/default/tftp-htp file [15:53] it almost seems simpler to create another virtual machine for running the boot server : D [15:53] want me to tar my tftp setup up and send it to you? [15:53] random_ubuntuer: thats actually not to bad an idea [15:53] random_ubuntuer: It would be better to try #vbox first [15:54] sresu, I'll try [15:54] wow, this problem really is gettin out of proportion : P [15:54] I mean to try asking in that channel [15:55] trying to install a server and now I'm searching virtual computer network management [15:55] sresu, I know, just rambling : P [15:55] Heya! Quick question. I was trying to get some extra function keys to work on my new keyboard (a Microsoft Sidewinder X4) and dropped into the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences window. When I tried to set a shortcut and found that Ubuntu did not see the extra function keys being pressed, I hit ctrl+Z to undo adding the custom shortcut (stupid, I know, but it is habit). I can't seem to figure out how to reset the undo shortcut... Any id [15:55] eas? [15:55] random_ubuntuer: maybe we should go private this is not ubuntu releated [15:56] sacarlson: I think it is ;) [15:57] If I get a solution that works, I'll be happy to scream it from the rooftops : P [15:57] anybody have experience with the installer not working, and looking to help a poor soul? :) [15:57] yeah, I do, but we probably have different problems : D [15:57] hello, is there anyone available to help me with partition problems when installing ubuntu_ [15:57] ? [15:57] just ask [15:57] k [15:58] rikyalderia [15:58] ? [15:58] when trying to install, the installer hangs at the "preparing ubuntu for install" windows, and doesn't progress [15:58] cant install d bus coz of expat.h [15:58] sacarlson, random_ubuntuer: also, others (like me) also like to find out what you have been able to accomplish. [15:58] rikycaldeira: just shoot the question [15:58] help!!! [15:59] sacarlson: btw, tab now works with your name :P [15:59] do i need to worry if my cpu usage goes to 100% very frequently? [15:59] origamizoo u r installin through wubi or directlly [15:59] Any clue how to change the keyboard shortcut for undo in Maverick? [15:59] rigved, I'll be sure to tell everyone here as well, if we get a solution but high traffic dialog suits better in private chat [16:00] If anyone has ideas however, feel free to shout them out [16:00] random_ubuntuer: :) [16:00] Cerealklr: Keyboard Shortcuts? [16:00] directly, and i have tried multiple flavors (mint, xu, 32, 64) and also the alternate for ubuntu [16:00] i got a new pc with windows 7, now i want to dual-boot. i partitioned the disk in windows disk manager to get some space for ubuntu. when i try to install ubuntu and see the partition table, the partition I previously set appears merged with trhe recover partition and not as free space. is there a way to force it to be separated from the recover partition (which I dont wanna lose..) [16:00] Ryu_Kurisu: I checked and did not see an entry for Undo. That is where I managed to mess it up in the first place. [16:01] hi, how long it takes to install ubuntu when it asks the user and password ? [16:01] it looks like installation stuck somewhere [16:01] rikycalderia u can do dual boot via wubi k [16:01] try it [16:01] Well...prolly you can make undo work again by changing the shortcut assigned to Ctrl+Z Cerealklr [16:02] by running the live cd in windows_ [16:02] ? [16:02] no running ubuntu CD [16:02] put iso and wubi n one folder and click on wubi installion will start [16:02] Ryu_Kurisu: Tried it! No such luck! That is the only custom shortcut i've assigned though. Is there at least a way to reset to default? [16:02] in new full HDD installation [16:02] i thought wubi just installed it into windows... skipping the partitioning issues, but giving poorer results [16:02] hm, ok [16:02] ill try it [16:02] thank you [16:02] k [16:02] rikycaldeira: are you able to see the different partitions in windows? [16:03] rikycaldeira: the format of the partitions? [16:03] i can see up to 4 partitions [16:03] origamzoo wt the result ru getting [16:03] ? [16:03] 1 labeled system [16:03] the other with boot stuff [16:03] rikycaldeira: all of them ntfs? [16:03] the big one [16:03] and the recover [16:03] rikycaldeira: in windows? [16:03] yes, all them ntfs [16:03] nothing, just hangs [16:04] in windows i can see all the partitions, including thje one i want to install ubuntu [16:04] 1 audio cd ejected but phantom image of files still there when new audio cd inserted [16:04] theres your prob ricky, linux doesn't use ntfs [16:04] u have put wubi and iso in same folder [16:04] Ryu_Kurisu: I added a custom shortcut to launch synapse. I attempted to asign it to a special function key but Ubuntu didn't notice it. I guess I was too used to programming and tried to ctrl+Z out of the keycode capture, which naturally assigned that as the shortcut to launch synapse. I figured out backspace revoked shortcuts, but undo still does nothing. [16:04] rikycaldeira: if you can see the different partitions in windows, then format the free space as ntfs. then use it ubuntu by re-formatting it to ext4 [16:04] rikycaldeira: in ubuntu what are you seeing? [16:04] if you want linux on on of the parts. format it with a ext3 or 4 filesystem [16:04] in windows, i ve freed the space [16:05] origamizoo u have put wubi nad iso in same folder [16:05] rikycaldeira: The ubuntu installer can see windows, and it can either split the windows parition for you, or let you chose how to do it. [16:05] but on ubuntu it still appears as ntfs and merged with the recover partition [16:05] d bus configure error could not find expat.h [16:05] juniour: not using wubi [16:05] When creating a bootable USB stick for ubuntu 10.10 using os x is adding grub or lilo required? [16:05] sombdy hlp!! [16:05] rikycaldeira: use widows to partition the free space as ntfs. then in the ubuntu installer, format this ntfs as ext4 [16:05] I got a external HD and it refuses to mount on both my laptop and desktop, it doesn't show up in fdisk -k [16:06] dmesg only shows this when it's plugged in [16:06] origamizoo u r installing in window or booting thriugh cd [16:06] rikycaldeira: ^^ [16:06] [ 1185.610093] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [16:06] rigved: thats what i tried to do, but the free space appears merged with the recover partition [16:06] Any ideas what could be wrong? [16:06] Cerealklr: Just remove the custom shortcut, there is a shortcut binding setting inside Synapse I believe [16:06] fdisk -l* [16:06] rikycaldeira: did you format is as a logical partition? [16:06] juniour: through the cd [16:06] k [16:06] juniour: usb technically [16:06] rikycaldeira: *it ^^ [16:07] k [16:07] rigved: free space =/ [16:07] u have install the software for usb [16:07] it is [16:07] from ubuntu site [16:07] i can run the livecd just fine [16:07] k [16:08] rikycaldeira: format it as a "primary" ntfs partition in windows. then use that in ubuntu by re-formatting [16:09] rigved: ill try it again then. maybe try a third party application to do the partitioning [16:09] rikycaldeira: ok. :) [16:09] riky, can you boot into the livecd? [16:09] i AM using the live cd [16:09] ;p [16:09] hi [16:10] rikycaldeira: also, make sure that you do not have more than 4 partitions (i'm guessing that you already have 3 partitions. 2 for win7 and one for recovery) [16:10] i have more thgan 4 [16:10] hey, I just paired my bluetooth headset with my netbook and I'm trying to figure out how to get the audio to route over to the headset. Any ideas? [16:10] i guess thats the problem === root is now known as Guest47407 [16:10] are they primarys? [16:10] this has had to have happened to someone else, but I can't find anything online about it: I accidentally upgraded the kernel on the live USB, which doesn't actually upgrade because it's read only, so now I have a new kernel I can't get rid of, and every apt install / remove action results in it re-trying to configure the new kernel. I tried removing the kernel through synaptic but it can't remove it because of the initrd configuratio [16:10] the computer came by itself with 4 partitions [16:10] rikycaldeira: windows does not allow more than 4 primary partitions [16:11] hi [16:11] lotus: go into audio settings, the headset should be seen there. [16:11] :O [16:11] lotus: system->preferences->sound [16:11] so you need to make your new partitions a logical, then split that up [16:11] rikycaldeira: use third-party software to partition [16:11] =\ [16:11] you can have more than four, but one needs to be a logical partition [16:13] Hi All!! Need a little help. Just did a fresh install, can ping and telnet out, but when I try to update or install I get Unable to connect error, even though I can ping the server. [16:13] has anyone else created a usb boot disk for PC's from a mac? [16:13] Is grub or lilo required? [16:13] the unable to connect error is to the name of the server that I just set up. [16:14] hi, does anyone know whether the XTS mode is available for loop-aes or whether it is even neccessary? [16:14] does anyone her use 'screen'? [16:15] siddhion: plenty probably, just ask the question [16:15] SwedeMike: I'm actually running crunchbang, what's the name of that GUI tool so that I may invoke it via commandline? [16:15] danielc1234: try to use another server. like the main server [16:15] Hi, can someone give me an answer concerning Lanchpad translations? [16:16] !crunchbang | lotus [16:16] lotus: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [16:16] kongk: what was the question? [16:16] rigved: well it is the main server I thought. This is what it asked for during setup. [16:16] kongk: maybe someone might but you also want to ask in #launchpad [16:16] Okay new question: Any way to tell synaptic that a partially configured package is no longer partially configured? [16:16] When I split the terminal window in screen via ^C S How do I get into that new part? [16:17] danielc1234: if it is the main server that you are using, then use a local server, one which is available in your country [16:17] I'translating Glippy and is it so that the in line «_Upload» the underscore indicates a shortcut? [16:17] rigved: I'm not thinking that is the problem, cause I can ping or telnet to what I am trying to connect to. [16:18] hi guys, i was trying to install real player in ubuntu 10.04 using the deb in this link " http://www.real.com/realplayer/download ". After double clicking the deb link , I got this error "Cannot install lsb".......... [16:18] siddhion: C-a Tab [16:18] rigved: which is http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/universe/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 [16:18] no problem pinging it. [16:18] kongk: #launchpad might be a better place to ask, I am not sure what the underscore indicates. [16:18] Idleone: OK. thanks! [16:19] danielc1234: do you use a router? is that blocking the port which is used to update? (not sure if this port is different from the port used by telnet) [16:19] 1 auddio cd inserted , mounts , content appear in fine manager, eject , new cd, open in file manager only content of previous cd, cant get rid of phantom image Help? [16:19] wolfpack: i am pretty sure something like vlc can play real media files. [16:20] rigved: then I dont think ping would work as well. Very strange [16:20] deww ...i tried it but it could not [16:20] basajaun: try ctrl-r to reload [16:20] hey folks, im searching for a nice tool like netsat but with gui, which shows me incomming and outgoing connections, any suggestions? [16:20] rigved: and in the confi files, it has the right settings. [16:20] danielc1234: yes it's strange. but afaik ping does not use any port. google that [16:21] yes it does [16:21] could manage it with whireshark, but thats way to much. just need a tiny app [16:21] Okay new question: Any way to tell synaptic that a partially configured package is no longer partially configured? [16:21] ubuntu has a built in toolbar applet that does that [16:22] Maahes: sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:22] Maahes: sudo apt-get update maybe [16:22] hi guys, i was trying to install real player in ubuntu 10.04 using the deb in this link " http://www.real.com/realplayer/download ". After double clicking the deb link , I got this error "Cannot install lsb"..........

(rmvb files play file tho) [16:23] wolfpack: why would you want to install realplayer? [16:23] danielc1234: you'll find many such posts on google. :) [16:23] popey: that doesn't work, this is a weird bug having to do with a kernel image trying to configure itself on a read only /boot [16:23] install VLC and profit [16:23] popey ...to run rm format files [16:23] does anyone have starcraft2 working in wine? [16:23] wolfpack: mplayer? [16:23] danielc1234: ping uses icmp and uses no ports. :) [16:23] endeavormac: ##winehq [16:23] Maahes: why is /boot readonly? [16:23] IdleOne: lol, you had me looking for a package called profit [16:23] popey: because this is a persistent liveusb [16:23] now i see what you meant [16:24] KM0201: haha [16:24] :() [16:24] IdleOne: ok thanks [16:24] Maahes: i have never had a read only /boot on a usb stick, sorry. I don't keep /boot separate from / ever [16:24] danielc1234: just check if any ports are blocked that are needed. do you have any other OS that you can test in this network? [16:24] popey i tried it on movie player and vlc player ........both shwd negative results [16:24] wolfpack: missing a codec probably? [16:24] nothing [16:25] wolfpack: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed [16:25] still the samr [16:25] wolfpack: installed the w32codecs pack from medibuntu? [16:25] popey which codec is missing [16:25] ubuntu-restricted-extras should cover everything you need [16:25] wolfpack: also as IdleOne suggests, ensure ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed too [16:25] How come I do not see the 'Upgrade to 10.10' button in Update Manager after pressing Check, Install Updates and then Check again? [16:25] popey how to chk whether a package is installed [16:26] siddhion: LTS to LTS is the default, not LTS to non-LTS upgrades [16:26] apt-cacher policy packagename [16:26] who has a paypal account? [16:26] apt-cache policy packagename [16:26] wolfpack: dpkg -l [16:26] that too ^ [16:26] wolfpack: once you get the missing packages you should be able to run realplayer [16:26] good Morning Christmas peeps.... [16:26] popey: the way the hybrid kernel in a live usb works is that part of it is stored on the read only iso mirror, and basically simlinked to /boot. You cannot install kernels over it [16:26] Also when I go to System > About Ubuntu it says I'm in 10.04 LTS.... [16:26] wolfpack: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealPlayerInstallationMethods#Install%20%27%27realplayer%27%27%20from%20the%20Repositories [16:26] Maahes: eww. [16:26] who has a paypal account? [16:27] popey, what is the difference between LTS and non-LTS and is 10.10 exclusively non-LTS? [16:27] siddhion: you need to go into Software Sources and change from LTS only to Regular Releases [16:27] !upgrade | siddhion [16:27] siddhion: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:27] that page explains it [16:27] !lts | siddhion [16:27] siddhion: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [16:27] how can I enable multiple X sessions for the same user? [16:27] @all i will chk ur suggstions one by one ....thanks ...will BRB :) [16:27] cousteau: xnest ? [16:27] thanks IdleOne and popey [16:27] popey, it was done on the Access screen dialog before [16:27] sure thing [16:28] siddhion: really unless you're in an enterprise environment, you're probably better off keeping w/ current versions, unless you have some need for LTS [16:28] Anyone out there that mgh know how to specify the radeon hd driver versus the radeon driver? [16:28] * BarbaraBush now has a temp fix for his wireless issue where wifi lags on battery [16:28] 10 meters long extender to the adapter [16:28] IdleOne, no change [16:28] KM0201: LTS is current and provides a more stable environment, you know all this already. [16:29] KM0201, no I am a solo developer. [16:29] i just wonder what do do when i go outside hehe [16:29] cant like drag a 10km wire with me :P [16:29] basajaun: put the first cd back in and then right click and click on safely remove [16:29] siddhion: also, if you do not the hassle of upgrading ubuntu versions frequently, go fot LTS; as you must have guessed by now ;) [16:29] IdleOne: i know... i just see more benefit in staying w/ the current release.. but... if you're someoe who wants to install an OS, and wait 3yrs, and then install/upgrade (ala, MS).. it's no big deal... I personally don't mind the upgrade/reinstall every 6mo [16:29] BarbaraBush: there's a temp fix in the bug report about it [16:29] I can t install ubuntu, it stack somewhere where it say ready when you are ! any help ? [16:29] safely remove not listed [16:30] popey: what is it? [16:30] basajaun: what is listed? [16:30] siddhion: *for ^^ [16:30] bug 651008 BarbaraBush [16:30] all i need is power saving disabled for wifi [16:30] rigved, if I do not what? [16:30] eject [16:30] ty popey [16:30] np [16:30] IdleOne, eject [16:30] on previous versions, it was possible to enable multiple logins for the same user, so the same user could have several sessions open at the same time, one on Ctrl-Alt-F7, another one on Ctrl-Alt-F8, etc [16:30] BarbaraBush: i have an affected machine too [16:30] basajaun: is there unmount? [16:30] no IdleOne [16:31] basajaun: what version of Ubuntu? [16:31] rigved, oh i see. if i do not want the hassle of upgrading then i should stay with LTS [16:31] anybody here know how to make .deb file from package manager? [16:31] 10.04 [16:31] well is upgrading really a hassle? [16:31] siddhion, yup [16:31] suraj: what are you trying to do [16:31] using openbox on 10.4 IdleOne [16:31] siddhion: if you do not want to go through of upgrading ubuntu versions too frequently, then go for LTS [16:31] Upgrade for new features [16:31] suraj: you mean from a program you've compiled from source, or from a package thats in the repositories [16:31] siddhion: no, it's very simple really. see the link popey gave you earlier [16:31] Quantum_Ion, really, what is so hard about it? [16:31] siddhion: i use LTS for both production and development machines that i manage, feel free to use the non-LTS versions unless you don't mind reinstalling the whole machine and reconfiguring everything back, in-place upgrading is almost always problematic [16:32] siddhion, you have to make backups and reinstall a new system [16:32] siddhion: s/unless/if [16:32] hi, i install lighttpd, phpmyadmin and mysql on ubuntu but i can't load phpmyadmin (403 - Forbidden) [16:32] siddhion: because upgrade, as compared to fresh install, frequently has more problems (not a general rule) [16:32] basajaun: hmm, I don't use openpox, not sure what the menu looks like. [16:32] I might not make a new install until 11.04 Ubuntu Linux [16:32] i want to make .deb from program i have complied [16:32] suraj: checkinstall [16:32] !compile | suraj [16:32] suraj: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [16:33] !checkinstall [16:33] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [16:33] Quantum_Ion, ilovefairuz rigved ok interesting. i think i will stay with LTS [16:33] how to use checkinstall [16:33] suraj: i think that requires you run -- check install [16:33] IdleOne, it behave as if the first disk wa still mounted [16:33] is it just me oir is this "ubuntu" font just ugly? [16:33] basajaun: umount from command line perhaps [16:33] popey: i found it listed there, but how do i get to it? [16:33] suraj: use the link given to understand it ^^ [16:33] Hi. I currently use subsonic but i was wondering what everyone's favorite streaming media server package is. [16:33] yeah it doesn't even seem there are critical advances in 10.10 upon first glace [16:33] IdleOne: can you run checkinstall, after you've already used make install? [16:33] popey what is the command to download apackage using terminal [16:34] basajaun: not sure about the syntax, maybe someone else knows. [16:34] siddhion, Do you like making backups of your /home/ directory [16:34] siddhion: only for touchscreens ;) [16:34] KM0201: I don't know. [16:34] question: i'm experiencing sudden shutdowns in 10.10, usually while watching longer flash videos (sc2 replays on youtube). what could this be? [16:34] give me link [16:34] hmmm [16:34] popey: i was in log sorry lol [16:34] !checkinstall | suraj [16:34] suraj: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [16:34] suraj: link in there ^^ [16:34] Lots of bugs in 10.10 huh [16:35] weird bugs [16:35] hi, i install lighttpd, phpmyadmin and mysql on ubuntu but i can't load phpmyadmin (403 - Forbidden) [16:35] KM0201: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall probably has the answer you need [16:35] rigved, ok Quantum_Ion well i do not have anything solid i am working on right now....then again i have all my VIM files in there....i suppose it would not be such a big deal [16:35] IdleOne: yeah, i was reading over it... [16:35] hello. how do i send a message to a windows machine? [16:35] then again why go through it....i would rather focus on learning/working [16:35] wwwyzzerdd: power management kicks in? [16:35] Quantum_Ion: really? 10.10 has been flawless for me. [16:35] nvm popey they fix is the "current stable release" [16:35] and it has the bug [16:35] siddhion, Every 6 months a new Ubuntu Linux distro ??? [16:35] Diverdude: what kind of message? IM? [16:35] ilovefairuz: nope. plugged into wall [16:36] Quantum_Ion, I didn't say that [16:36] ilovefairuz, yeah like "hello how are you" === van7hu is now known as kaka [16:36] KM0201, Do you ever thin 10.10 will become LTS ? [16:36] ilovefairuz, on a LAN [16:36] Quantum_Ion: never [16:36] Quantum_Ion: of course not.. === kaka is now known as kolotoure [16:36] wwwyzzerdd: still, check the setting it may be configure to sleep/hibernate/power off after a fixed period [16:36] KM0201, Why not ? [16:36] Quantum_Ion: ubuntu releases LTS's at specific times [16:36] what command should i type in terminal to download this pkg ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:36] Quantum_Ion: because it wasn't released in april..lol [16:36] Quantum_Ion: next LTS is going to be 12.04 [16:36] Quantum_Ion, I will wait till 11.04 .... I wonder what advances will be in that version [16:36] I tried 10.10 and then wentback to 10.04. My machine speed was intolerable with 10.10. As I am new to ubuntu, I do ot have the skills to tweak the setup yet. 10.04 runs faster out of the box on y IBM R51 laptop. [16:36] ilovefairuz, ? [16:36] IdleOne, lol [16:37] what command should i type in terminal to download this pkg ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:37] ilovefairuz: i'm sure that's not it. i leave my laptop on all day long. this so far has only occured while watching these videos, and not every single time [16:37] Diverdude: what protocol are they using? MSN, Yahoo, or what? [16:37] or is it 11.10? [16:37] wolfpack: sudo apt-get install [16:37] ilovefairuz, just using some netios or something installed by default [16:37] Hi! I have problem with my browser. When i open it, i get communication: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." [16:37] Dude said it would go from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS huh what about 11.04 LTS ? [16:37] Quantum_Ion: LTS comes every 2yrs in april (10.04... 04/10)... next one is 12.04(04/12).. the ones in the middle, i forget what they are called... [16:38] KM0201, okay [16:38] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:38] KM0201: they are just normal releases [16:38] Diverdude: Kopete has support for something called "Win popup" protocol, check it out [16:38] supported for 18 months [16:38] yeah... 18mo.. what do they call those?.. i know its not "Non-LTS"...lol [16:38] wwwyzzerdd, why do you leave your laptop on all day? isn't that bad for the CPU and chips? [16:38] LTS = Long Term Support and you assume they are the most stable right ? [16:38] staszek20: alt+f2 and type: killall -9 firefox-bin === C_y_b_e_e is now known as C_y_b_e_r [16:39] KM0201: normal release is what they are called afaik [16:39] about compatibility, I have hardy heron (sony vaio laptop) If I upgrade to newest version, will the same hardware work well? [16:39] IdleOne: hmm, maybe. [16:39] or is there any compatibility issues [16:39] It is not as stable as LTS [16:39] hardy works fine [16:39] yeaah maybe the next lts [16:39] but hardy is old [16:39] siddhion: not bad enough to care much about. its a thinkpad so i know its not a crap computer that will die on me [16:39] k00pa: only one way to know, try it [16:39] hmm [16:39] k00pa: burn a live cd and try [16:39] lol thinkpad [16:39] yeaaah of course, live :P [16:39] Quantum_Ion: usually when you use the "Normal Releases"... you'll see gradual changes in the OS... whereas, if you had upgraded from 8.04, to 10.04.. you'd have seen very dramatic changes that had been happening since 8.04 was released [16:40] just want to make sure I dont shit this up [16:40] (not my computer) [16:40] hi, maybe a stupid question: is all open source automatically licensed under gnu? Or can the code also be not licensed at all? [16:40] wwwyzzerdd, yeah but don't you hate going to work on it? it must be hot as hell. [16:40] and that damn wireless modem... [16:40] I hope I get that working also [16:40] staszek20 , first from the task manager stop the mozilla program and then try if not try to create new profile [16:40] k00pa: what kind is it? [16:40] kaddi_: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:40] idk what it is [16:40] let me check [16:40] How do i add new panel to my new desktop.... i dont have any panels att al on it. [16:40] it works with hardy atleast [16:40] how is open source not related to ubuntu? [16:40] I just upgraded a friends computer from 8.0 whatever to 10.04 and the difference is amazing like night and day [16:41] siddhion: i remove the battery and plug it into a wall most of the time, the heat from any laptop is primarily from the battery [16:41] huawei e220 [16:41] Quantum_Ion: good or bad? [16:41] 6 [16:41] !resetpanels | ePax [16:41] ePax: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [16:41] Quantum_Ion: exactly, the difference between 10.04 and 10.10.. while if you do some looking, you'll see them.. are far less dramatic [16:41] k00pa, Good upgrade [16:41] yeaaa [16:41] is the latest much heavier? [16:41] wwwyzzerrd , dell or toshiba [16:41] lemme rephrase then is open source the equivalent of licensed under gnu for ubuntu or does it also have completely unlicensed code? [16:41] wwwyzzerdd, interesting. [16:42] k00pa, Fairly easier that is for sure better partitioner,etc [16:42] wwwyzzerdd, I might try this with mine [16:42] k00pa: 10.04 boots much faster than 8.04, at least IMO... [16:42] hmm [16:42] yeah dropping the live cd and testing [16:42] ilovefairuz: I written killall -9 firefox-bin, but this doesn't work [16:42] my installation stack where it asks " who are you " [16:42] i'd rather just clean install an OS.. but thats just me. [16:42] staszek20 has a paypal account? [16:42] I can t installl ubuntu 10.10 from CD [16:42] alfred_: why not? [16:42] I do not know [16:43] it doesn t go anywhere [16:43] staszek20, kill an create new profile or reinstall [16:43] just stack [16:43] staszek20: try it with just firefox not -bin [16:43] staszek20, It should be kill -9 firefox [16:43] siddhion: i recommend it for any laptop that has a removable battery, it reduces heat as well as increases overall battery life [16:43] alfred_: Did you check the CD before installing? [16:43] restarted it many time in vain [16:43] wwwyzzerdd, thanks [16:43] well, I download it , and used new CD to burn the image [16:43] siddhion: excess heat on laptop batteries effectively reduces their life [16:43] IdleOne: I added new screen to my computer and i have to separated screens. On new one i donw have panel [16:43] wwwyzzerdd, My laptop batteries usually burnout after a year of use [16:43] I am connected to internet, is there a away I can do it via commad line ? [16:43] MrBoss: no i don't pay [16:44] 1 year and the laptop battery is can not hold a charge anymore [16:44] ePax: oh, sorry I don't know how to do that. [16:44] IdleOne: oki [16:44] Quantum_Ion: i'v ehad this battery for about two years now and it still holds a charge for at least 1:45 to two hours [16:44] popey: for the future, i found the fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/651008 [16:44] wwwyzzerdd, a great bit of info there. im dettaching my battery now [16:44] wwwyzzerdd, What kind of Computer [16:44] peace [16:44] hi, does anyone know whether the XTS mode is available for loop-aes or whether it is even neccessary? [16:45] Quantum_Ion: thinkpad t500 [16:45] wwwyzzerdd, I had a Dell they usually run Hot [16:45] how to install ubuntu from command line ? [16:45] Quantum_Ion: yeah that is a problem i have seen with a lot of them [16:45] alfred_: if you're having some weird hardware that is not co-operating... you'd probably best to download the alternate install cd... [16:45] !alternate | alfred_ [16:45] alfred_: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

See README.Debian for details (closes: #237021).' [17:12] Diverdude, Then, assuming your LAN has a base IP range of 192.168, you can type: $nmap 192.168.*, and it will do the work. [17:12] ilovefairuz: and itaylor57 those only find the java installed by .deb .. not the .bin self package [17:12] ok more data: [17:13] hanasaki: you shouldn't install using the bin, there are debs for the sun version [17:13] Alguien que escriba español [17:13] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on dell inspiron 1520 with Nvidia 8600GT and 3GB RAM [17:13] ilovefairuz: for java7?

[17:14] o gracias [17:14] omg, all this was because I was too lazy to re-type an URL on my netbook [17:15] hanasaki: well the package (be it a bin or a deb) has to use the alternatives system for this to work, otherwise you'd have to do the symlinks yourself [17:15] hanasaki: it would take mucking under the hood to enable java7 as the default and to modify your netbeans config files [17:16] hanasaki, can I help I just installed the JDK [17:16] now I wonder why ~/.Xauthority (and ~/.dbus/) got owned by root [17:16] cousteau: you used sudo?

Okay, so I'm having a HUGE problem with installing Ubuntu 10.10 from a Live CD sent to me from the company onto a 500GB external hard drive I go through the setup just fine and everything and choose to format the whole drive for use with Ubuntu then I go to advance options on the last step and choose to install the bootloader (GRUB) to the external drive INSTEAD of on the default drive which would be my computer' [19:52] Worth the money. [19:52] smw: that's what i'm doing [19:52] vesa1, chmod 755 file.sh [19:52] smw: but that package needs libfaad0 [19:52] vesa1 ./file.sh [19:52] do loading the hd and I get an error from GRUB error:file not found can anyone help me? [19:52] If you bridge the Aeonic you will have your VM and your machine on the same subnet as well Javahorn can be useful [19:52] zamba, that means it is a broken package [19:52] Doinkle: yes, I thnk so, I can mount the hdd and so on [19:52] I am trying to compile packagekit and am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/pXsGZE8D help please! [19:52] <[thor]> Doinkle: it's so worth it, that i can't bring myself to buy an old-style hdd anymore. [19:53] smw i did that and nothing happened [19:53] However i don't think you will be able to see the VM [19:53] <[thor]> Doinkle: i am looking at a nice 120GB Kingston [19:53] vesa1, pastebin your script [19:53] does anyone know how to check whether a laptop can support dual monitors? [19:53] dome22xl: Create a flexible hard disk , you have any idea? [19:53] vesa1, and output [19:53] kk [19:53] under Aeonic from you pc unless you bridge javahorn [19:53] smw: ok, you make no sense [19:53] bubby323, you can try and either unplug the internal hdd during this part to force grub to use external hdd...or try disable internal in BIOS temporarily [19:53] zamba, the package is old/broken [19:53] smw: i'm trying to install a package manually that needs libfaad0.. only libfaad2 is available in lucid [19:54] I am trying to find a useable graphics card which has support for compiz and the unity interface.Which one will be good?? [19:54] smw: i had to fix it by manually installing libfaad0 from previous distributions [19:54] [thor], the one I got(Corsair 120) was $199 with $30 rebate. CDN $ [19:54] Doinkle it installs to the extenal fine but it doesnt load GRUB it loads grub recovery and gives me the error file not found [19:54] zamba, exactly. The package is old [19:54] smw: http://pastebin.com/i2jC5dVM [19:54] Like thin provisioning its called Dynamic Expanding Storage on VBox javahorn [19:54] nirazio, stick with nvidia series. ati and linux dont work well as of now [19:55] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and my system stoped working twice when I was using "tux typing" (an educational app). How to find out what happened? [19:55] bubby323, so give my suggestion a try so grub has no alternative? Just taking a guess.. [19:55] !graphics [19:55] I already tried that [19:55] Same error [19:55] ah [19:55] well... [19:55] bubby323, do you have a usb thumb drive handy to cross-test with? [19:56] vesa1, sorry, first line is #!/bin/bash [19:56] make sure your ext HDD's logic board doesnt have some weird config/settings? [19:56] depends on what cross test means :P? [19:56] OK lemme give it a shot [19:56] bubby323, install 10.10 to usb flash stick to determine if you can use it on usb port on your pc [19:56] i installed ubuntu on another drive the same way and no errors grub worked fine [19:56] smw: btw, is there any way I can CHMOD from the GUI ? [19:57] Doinkle i installed ubuntu on another drive the same way and no errors grub worked fine [19:57] vesa1, right click on a file [19:57] vesa1, yes, right click -> properties -> file permissions [19:57] bubby323, right...so perhaps the ext hdd logic board is different. im not surprised [19:57] vesa1: Right click -> properties -> permissions tab [19:57] Does sound like an interesting project javahorn ! [19:57] smw: I tried that - there's nowhere to put 755 ? [19:57] is there anyone in this room who has installed linux from scratch (using lfs) into usb flash disk and succeeded? [19:58] vesa1, 755 is irrelevant in gui [19:58] vesa1, set executable permissions for the owner [19:58] vesa1, you really should man chmod to wrap your head around it :) [19:58] i got a "fatal error ...." dont know what on my server boot, but it continues booting fine, so i trying to view the /var/log/ but couldn't find it [19:59] artu: I did it using ext3 and ext4, also I use the same machine either native boot and in a virtual machine ;) [19:59] vesa1, 755 is owner: read write execute ---- group: r x ---- everyone: r x [19:59] haha that is far from english :) [19:59] hey, i want to tunnel *all* my traffic through a ssh-socks-proxy. i think socksd can do this, but i have no idea which demaon i have to install [19:59] vesa1, lol, man pages are for people who already know how to use the program === nilsma is now known as nilsma-aw [19:59] man pages? [20:00] vesa1: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions [20:00] vesa1, yep [20:00] nvm, apparently it didn't like make -j 3 [20:00] what are man pages? [20:00] SandCube, you are my man i guess. did you compile kernel usb support as module or embedded into kernel? [20:00] vesa1, type man man [20:00] vesa1, in the terminal === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [20:01] ah [20:01] vesa1, it gives manual pages for commands [20:01] man! [20:01] i got it, I see what man man does man [20:01] :P === legion is now known as Guest49131 [20:01] my linux machine boots from grub ok, but grub loads kernel into memory, but kernel can not mount the usb drive [20:01] guys what causes relay acces denied error on postfix server? [20:01] !enter > vesa1 [20:01] vesa1, please see my private message [20:01] thanks [20:01] ilovefairuz, still there? [20:02] man man [20:02] how can i pivot my display? [20:02] i really need help does anybody know the grub rescue command line [20:02] gccster: it refuses to accept mail when the client tries to use it as a mail relay [20:03] guntbert, i try to send email from gmail to my own server [20:03] should I compile programs into /usr or into /usr/local? [20:03] and cant recieve [20:03] Guest49131, is there a question? [20:04] Guest49131, please change your nick to something easier :-) [20:04] tho i can send.. [20:04] gccster: you must configure your postfix to accept mail for that domain [20:04] Guest49131, /nick new_name [20:04] legion/neck new name [20:04] woops [20:04] :D [20:05] hi.. having a little blackout here.. what was that command for determining f.ex what lib's etc some /bin -util uses? [20:05] ./nick legion [20:05] withougt dot [20:06] should I compile programs into /usr or into /usr/local? [20:06] i cant change did anyway do you know the grub rescue command line [20:06] artu, I did not had to think about it. I got everything working out of the box [20:06] nerdy_kid, /usr/local [20:06] i'd prefer /usr/local [20:06] cause otherwise /usr should be quite static [20:06] !list [20:06] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:07] makes future things (maybe) a little easier [20:07] smw: s-vektori what about core system apps (like packagekit). wont the /usr/local version and the /usr version get mixed up with each other? [20:07] thank you SandCube. on the other hand, there is no box at all :) [20:07] nerdy_kid, you need to uninstall the /usr one [20:07] you're compiling updates? [20:08] artu: I had this problem once (mounting the partition on boot). I realized it does not work because of grub options, for example, on the boot options it was looking for sda1, but it tries to mount sdb2 [20:08] nerdy_kid, modifying /usr is something that really should never be done. The next question is why you are installing pkgkit yourself [20:09] artu: try using labels on grub [20:09] SandCube, I set uuid of usb flash. [20:09] not device path, in order to boot it everywhere [20:10] hey all [20:10] nerdy_kid: Typically, when there's a binary or library in /usr/local, it'll use that before the one in /usr [20:10] how I can disable the sudo promt from asking password? Or can I define the password from the console when executing sudo [20:10] smw: I am updating kpackagekit to git (to fix a seg fault) which requires packagekit 0.6.11 not 0.6.8 so I must compile [20:10] grub handled it, and load kernel. but kernel failed to mount [20:10] I'm having a minor issue where my laptop speakers don't get muted when I plug headphones in, does anyone know how I can solve this? [20:10] geirha: does that also apply to libraries in /usr/local/lib? [20:10] artu: I'm not at home right now, but you can send me an e-mail and I can send my grub files to you [20:10] allright, i'll try it thanks dude [20:11] k00pa: don't disable it, thats a valuable security featrure [20:11] well I kinda need it [20:11] ok [20:11] I need to run one sh script with admin rights [20:11] nerdy_kid: Yes. [20:11] nerdy_kid, you are playing with stuff that you really shouldn't ;-). Anyways, I would look into deb source packages [20:11] does "sudo" have any flags that can be used to input password? [20:11] !who | k00pa [20:11] k00pa: 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 :) [20:11] nerdy_kid, have you submitted a bug yet btw? [20:11] geirha: cool thanks :) [20:11] k00pa: no, it has no such flag [20:12] :/ [20:12] Anyone know why cinelerra thinks pulseaudio will be listening on port 7777? I can't find any docs which say that it does. [20:12] does anybody here know the grub rescue command [20:12] k00pa: It does, but that's the wrong approach. You should be editing sudoers (using the visudo command) instead. [20:12] hmm hmm [20:12] okey I look into that [20:12] nerdy_kid, is there a reason you are updating? If you are doing it for fun, learn about deb source packages [20:12] finger SandCube [20:12] !sudo | k00pa [20:12] k00pa: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:13] Guest49131, just ask the question! [20:13] artu: I had this exactly same problem! I realized it happens depending on which machine you did the installation from. For example, installing in the USB flash drive using a laptop did not work. Using the live iso and using a virtual machine to load, worked fine. I tried VMware and VBox, with different results. I recomend vmware [20:13] k00pa: IIRC, the RootSudo page has a link on how sudoers work. [20:13] okey, thanks :) [20:13] Guest49131, I have a little knowledge of it. If you don't ask, no one will answer [20:13] smw I can recover my system if I decide to bust it ;) a bug has been submitted, I am updating partly for experience and partly cause I want to fix the seg fault. thanks for the tip, will check it out :) [20:14] i cant log in windows 7 i get an error that the partition is incorrect [20:14] k00pa: Ah, no it just links to the man-page. So you could just run man sudoers [20:14] ok SandCube. I also encountered this problem on laptop, i am glad to hear that [20:14] you see i tried expanding my partition to delete windows 7 [20:14] well I think I get it working now === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [20:14] ubuntu i mean [20:15] How to track a system error? I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and my system stoped working twice when I was using "tux typing" (an educational app). How to find out what happened? [20:16] Skopje75: 'rm /usr/bin/gcc; ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 /usr/bin/gcc; gcc --version' sorry, I'm always wrong with ln ;) [20:16] not working [20:16] artu: just sent my e-mail address to you via pm [20:16] It's christmas, no one cares. [20:17] Liath: please keep to the topic of this channel: ubuntu support [20:17] artu: I suggest you using VMware, create a virtual disk pointing to the partition on the USB flash. So it will "think [20:17] * Liath salutes [20:17] ...think" it is a real disk [20:18] then install from there [20:18] Can someone help me? I'm looking for certain files I want to sync :) [20:18] every time I want to boot using the VM I use the same virtual disk pointing to that partition [20:19] it is interesting not to run on real system, but to minimize the concidence, i think i have to follow your path === satamusic_ is now known as meatpopsicle [20:20] artu: I took this path because my goal was to get a Linux running native AND on the virtual machine. I had a hard time on doing that ;) [20:20] how i i add permissions to my backup drive so i can share it [20:20] guys can anybody help me solve a problem with postfix server (can send but cant recieve emails..) [20:20] ? [20:21] btw, do not suspend the system on the vm, and later boot it native. It will detect a disk error. So, if you suspend, remember to use the vm again to restart and do a real shutdown on the vm before booting nativelly [20:22] gccster: you might get better/more answers in #ubuntu-server [20:22] the same goal, i have, i am enouth obsesive in having fast, hot-plug linux on usb :) [20:22] how do i add permissions to my backup drive so i can share it [20:22] I´m looking for the files which hold the settings about the virtual desktops, can someone help? [20:24] but it could be better to run on real system. so i can publish it as an another linux distribution [20:24] :) [20:24] how do I use apport ? when I start "multiget" it crashes [20:25] artu: I got it working on all computers I plugged. I had some trouble on getting wifi "winmodems", one strange thing is that after I installed drivers for a broadcom wifi, another broadcom wifi in laptop2 (differnt model) stopped working. I did not give attention to it as I'm not going to use it nativelly in this specific machine that much [20:25] I´m looking for the files which hold the settings about the virtual desktops, can someone help? [20:26] artu: What is the size of your USB flash? [20:26] i was changed my windows look when my xubuntu 10.10 crashed and reboot automatically. Now I'm in a loop in the gdm password request. [20:27] SandCube: my goal is not too wide as yours in terms of machine. I would like to create multimedia machine using mini cuda enabled boards to watch tv, listen music, etc. [20:28] SandCube: so its very spesific and bounded [20:28] i have a CD rom inserted into my drive. i don't see anything in `mount` or `sudo fdisk -l` that shows the device is mounted. i also don't see antyhign in `ls /{mnt,media,cdrom}` -- could anyone tell me what magic is being done here? [20:28] SandCube: usb drive size is 2GB [20:28] where do CDs mount on ubuntu? [20:28] artu: forgot to tell you... some USB flash drives are not good for that operation. Different computers also recognize the drive differently. Some recoginize as an native disk, some as a floppy, some as an external USB drive, etc.... this might give you some problems on booting. Each USB drive tryies first to intruct the system how it would like to be identified as. [20:29] jzacsh: /media [20:29] Ryu_Kurisu: its empty [20:29] jzacsh: Or do you mean ISO's? [20:30] SandCube: all right, have you any suggestion on usb flash, like brand [20:30] Ryu_Kurisu: i have a CD rom of music, i purchased. an album. inserted into my drive -- it shows up through some magic abstractions in nautilus/rhythmbox [20:30] but i need direct access to the files and can't figure out how its mounted [20:30] SandCube: mine is transcend [20:30] artu: once I found an article talking about it. In my case I was just lucky. I use a PQI 8gb [20:31] SandCube: i think, luck is rather important factor :) in this task [20:31] Why do you need to know that? If you want to rip the cd there are tools for that jzacsh :) [20:32] Ryu_Kurisu: that's nice, but if i want to write a script, run a specific command, do things explictly -- i hhvae to find the buttons for it? [20:32] I am trying to replace gnome-panel with avant-window-navigator. I go into gconf-editor, and change /desktop/session/required_components/panel to avant-window-navigator, but when I relog, the changes are reverted === Ckhi is now known as CkhiKuzad [20:32] got blu ray drive, is there a codec i need to install for movie player? [20:33] you can try www.pendrivelinux.com they have lots of images and softwares to help you installing it on USB drive. Unfortunatelly most for "live cd" versions. [20:33] jzacsh: I don't understand what you mean :-/ [20:33] I just reinstalled windows XP, and It wiped out my GRUB2, I Know how to reinstall GRUB Legacy, but not GRUB2. Is it any different/ [20:33] does anyone know where CDs mount in Ubuntu? which directory they mount to? [20:33] ? [20:33] jzacsh: An audio CD doesn't have a filesystem, it just have tracks. [20:33] artu: at least, if you do it and it boots, so you know your USB drive is able to do it! [20:33] jzach, usually /media/[anything] [20:33] jzacsh: Hence it doesn't mount it. [20:33] CkhiKuzad: that's what i though, its not there [20:34] Strange. I've got problems myself. [20:34] geirha: ? what are you basing that off of? [20:34] Heh, I'm on a live CD, asking for help, and still helping as much as I can. [20:34] jzacsh i always get a new icon on my desktop whenu insert an cd [20:34] Ok! good idea. [20:35] got blu ray drive, is there a codec i need to install for movie player? [20:35] geirha: ISO 9660 is a _filesystem_ [20:35] as2000: Blu ray is still very troublesome [20:35] jzacsh: Yes, but an audio CD doesn't have an iso 9660 filesystem. [20:35] if there was no file system, the files wouldn't be accessible. [20:35] SandCube: in the kernel compilation, have you enabled additional options in usb drivers section === ilovefairuz1 is now known as ilovefairuz [20:36] jzacsh: It has tracks ... audio tracks. [20:36] geirha: "tracks" are file. [20:36] s/file/files/ [20:36] I do really need help. do not !patience me. I reinstalled Windows today, and it wiped my GRUB2, I can reinstall Grub Legacy, but I dont know if GRUB2 is any different. [20:36] Hi guys. I need some help. I recently switched to 10.10 from 10.04 via a fresh install. However, my PC speaker now randomly beeps at random intervals. It happens with or without "beep" installed, it happens even if I blacklist the pcspkr kernal module and even if I disable all bios warnings, so it's not a temp warning. It did NOT happen in 10.04 and I have no idea what is doing it. It's driving me mad! Please help. :( [20:36] jzacsh: You can rip them to files, yes, or you can play the tracks. [20:36] geirha: can you be more specific, what you're basing this off of? [20:36] artu: everything worked out of the box (when it worked lol) [20:37] jzacsh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc#Audio_CD [20:38] artu: I did not give specific options (as I really dont even know how to do it =P) [20:38] Is there anyone here who can help me with ubuntu [20:38] hello all [20:39] artu: I'm going to get some food. You can send me an e-mail if you have trouble [20:39] c ya [20:39] SandCube: thank you very much, very instructive [20:39] !ask | Ratski [20:39] Ratski: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:39] bys [20:40] geirha: thank you. [20:40] What is the difference between HISTFILESIZE and HISTSIZE?? [20:40] xchat [20:40] Sorry, I just put Ubuntu on my laptop and I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network [20:40] and CkhiKuzad I don't want to "patience" you, but you will only get an answer if someone has one ... [20:41] I know, Guntbert, I hoped that rephrasing it would make it a bit easier. I shall do it one more time then super advanced epic "none of this, only this" Advanced search it on google. [20:41] D: How do I reinstall GRUB2 when Windows wipes it? I've googled it, etc. and it's all "when install grub install kill rm -rf / nao k my language impossible to reed because not know how use linux" === AlbertoP_ is now known as AlbertoP [20:41] (Had that on CTRL+C when guntbert posted) [20:42] wtf [20:42] is there any big differents between ide and achi on my netbook with ubuntu? [20:42] Hi guys. I need some help. I recently switched to 10.10 from 10.04 via a fresh install. However, my PC speaker now randomly beeps at random intervals. It happens with or without "beep" installed, it happens even if I blacklist the pcspkr kernal module and even if I disable all bios warnings, so it's not a temp warning. It did NOT happen in 10.04 and I have no idea what is doing it. It's driving me mad! Please help. :( [20:42] CkhiKuzad, boot into a live cd and use grub-install [20:43] Keet, have you done that before? [20:43] thanks geirha guntbert IdleOne! Finally got this working :) [20:43] CkhiKuzad, yeah [20:43] With GRUB2? [20:43] yes [20:43] k00pa: You added a NOPASSWD entry in sudoers? [20:43] Gwar: the sound theme, turn if off from the sound applet [20:43] only with grub2 [20:43] Alright, thank you. [20:44] ilovefairuz: That is muted too. Still beeping [20:45] geirha: enlightening. thank you. have a nice day. [20:45] Gwar: set to "No sounds"? [20:46] ilovefairuz: Ah, no. I just had it muted. I'll try it with No Sounds and see if that works. -Facepalms- [20:46] geirha: naah, I just added gksudo to my script :P [20:46] Gwar, I dont have this problem...but I installed bleeding edge last night. it does address that issue. http://sourceforge.net/projects/bleedingedge/ [20:47] how do i remove the grubb rescue === a is now known as Guest74804 [20:47] k00pa: Ah :) [20:47] Guest49131: did you install using Wubi the windows installer? [20:48] Doinkle: I see the "disable annoying system beep" :P I'll try it if this doesn't work. Thank you. [20:48] [thor], in power saving settings, how did you address the "spin down hard disks where possible" ?

[23:24] rinku_kokiri: Monitor that window while you play audio [23:25] Lufti_oO, don't know. but the parameter for mount should be umask=777 [23:25] Dr_Willis: no [23:25] Lufti_oO: its an annoyingly stupid 'security' setting they did where the default app for .exe checks the executable bit befor it launches the exe in wine [23:25] Dr_Willis, sam-_-, thanks a lot! [23:25] Russia: An iso file that you would need to burn to a CD. [23:25] Jordan_U: Ok, thanks [23:25] Lufti_oO: i alwyas run the setup.exe's from the clu. becaise there may be error messages to look for. to often i see .exe's run in wine and just crash and give no feedback [23:25] Russia: I can also describe to you how to make a bootable USB that would do it instead. [23:26] Dr_Willis: the logo set selected is ubuntu-mono-dark but i change it and nothing happens, if i go and look again it is back to mono dark [23:26] Jordan_U: I don't have a USB on me at the moment that can hold over 256 MB, a CD would be prefferable [23:26] Pablo1, heh ... now youtube completely quit working [23:27] Russia: All it needs is at most 2.5 meg :) [23:27] Jordan_U: Oh, really? Let me go find my memory stick, then. I'll be right back. [23:27] How can I download earlier debian packaged versions of Wine? I need v1.2 (not 1.2.1) [23:27] rinku_kokiri: do a: pulseaudio -k [23:27] hi all: where can I find mounting directories after connecting to a server from Nautilus throuh sftp? I tried /mount and /media without success. thks! [23:28] and i lost the ability to go back with my middle mouse button [23:28] How do i restart my window manager? [23:28] rinku_kokiri: this kills pulseaudio but the respawn [23:28] then it respawns* [23:28] kk [23:28] now opera crashed === Sevas is now known as kkartas [23:29] sound in youtube is back [23:29] how can I move a fullscreen window? [23:29] Russia: You'd need to be able to boot into linux to make it though. [23:29] move a fullscreen window? [23:29] pavucontrol shows nothing but sound is playing [23:29] hrm [23:29] i hate flash [23:29] rinku_kokiri: did you try with another web borwser? [23:30] Russia: Any distro (even a liveCD) would do. [23:30] If it is fullscreen it is not a window [23:30] lol yep and it don't work again [23:30] Jordan_U: I have a live CD somewhere, so that works [23:30] rinku_kokiri: How did you install the flash polayer? [23:30] player* [23:30] F3RR1S: ok, how can I move a fullscreen non-window? [23:30] Jordan_U: Should I wipe the memory stick, first? [23:30] downloaded the deb from adobe [23:31] uninstalled flashplugin-installer [23:31] and ran the deb [23:31] Russia: No need. [23:31] you can't [23:31] will reverse now cause adobe's seems to be verry bugged [23:31] Jordan_U: Oh, wonderful. So, what do I need to do? [23:31] rinku_kokiri: I am not sure if that is the best option [23:31] what are you trying to do... put the fullscreen on a different screen? [23:31] I always install flashplugin-nonfree [23:32] Russia: It depends. What distro / version is the LiveCD you have? [23:32] which install flashplugin-installer [23:32] sparrW, what are you trying to do? [23:32] I think it's ubuntu, probably 10.04 [23:33] F3RR1S: it's complicated. I'm trying to move a fullscreen window. [23:33] how come when i try to open the pulse EQ it never loads? [23:33] it says starting then goes away [23:33] sparrW, where are you trying to move it to? [23:33] F3RR1S: about 800 pixels below where it is now [23:34] Pablo1, alrright installing non free now... still same result [23:34] is there a significant reason to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10, or is sticking to 10.04.1 ok? [23:34] sound plays in youtube, but until I close it no other sound plays [23:34] rinku_kokiri: I use the jack plugin for flash and I am in ubuntu lucid right now, so I can't reproduce your problem. [23:34] Dr_Willis: no luck. no error messages from the terminal, but it looks like it can't detect the video at all, like if it was an audio only thing [23:34] Jordan_U: Could you /msg the instructions to me? [23:34] I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and the proprietary ATI driver is causing problems with the Plymouth splash screen. It doesn't look pretty anymore. [23:34] sparrW, why not adjust the window size and then drag it down? [23:34] How do I fix it? [23:34] Pablo1, and as i am playing a flash video, (sound is playing) nothing shows in playback tab [23:35] Dr_Willis: vlc, mplayer, gnome player, totem, they all work fine [23:35] however i just opened amarok, which won't play sound, but shows in the playback tab [23:35] rinku_kokiri: ahm [23:35] this bug is really pi%%in me off [23:35] F3RR1S: it's fullscreen, thus has no decorations and no way to adjust the size [23:35] all i wanna do is play wow and listen to youtube [23:35] if anybody got an idea i'm listening [23:35] rinku_kokiri, amarok doesn't use pulse maybe that's the problem [23:36] I need to download Wine version 1.2 as a debian package. The latest is 1.2.1 which doesn't work with what I'm trying to execute [23:36] i even tried reinstalling smplayer. no luck [23:36] sam-_-, amarok, mplayer, banshee, etc all same issue [23:36] Hi. Fresh Ubuntu 10.10(x386). I installed wicd(VIA Synaptic). Rebooted just cause. Now I have Wicd and Networkmanager both running. I was under assumption wicd install removes networkmanager. How can I gracefully just have wicd only run/exist? Thanks. [23:36] sam-_-, if a youtube window is open. no other app can play sound NO APP AT ALL [23:36] LOLOLOL [23:36] i got sound,its just low as hell [23:37] lol [23:37] might as well not even be working [23:37] sparrW, I have no idea what you are trying to do... are you watching a movie or something else? [23:37] trying to fix to for 3 fuckin days [23:37] I need to download Wine version 1.2 as a debian package. The latest is 1.2.1 which doesn't work with what I'm trying to execute [23:37] i've been tryin to fix this since 8.04 [23:37] damn dude [23:37] fuckin' you missed the ' [23:37] Sub_Zero: the winhq web site has archives of the older versions you could install. [23:37] lol [23:37] rinku_kukiri: X86_64 or X86? [23:38] F3RR1S: playing a game. I have two monitors in a _| configuration, so fullscreen games go to the empty top left corner [23:38] x86 with PAE [23:38] rinku_kokiri, is pulseaudio running? [23:38] yep [23:38] Dr_Willis where I can't find them [23:38] anybody know how to get the length of a string in C for use with g_ascii_strup? [23:38] Sub_Zero: ive seen them there befor, check their ftp site perhaps. === petr is now known as Guest48366 [23:39] i ever installed the pulseaudio eq and it wont start up [23:39] it's funny, i open a youtube video, and my playback tab of pavucontrol shows "no application is currently playing audio" [23:39] theres 1326 ppl in this channel. wtf is everybody doing idle [23:39] but it's lying [23:39] because firefox/opera is. [23:39] rinku_kokiri, u use firefox right? [23:39] that's another thing... if i have a youtube in opera open, and i open one in firefox, they both play [23:40] LOL [23:40] that's funny [23:40] Sub_Zero: or you can pin older versiosn via the package managers some how. [23:40] but i can't play amarok, banshee, etc [23:40] not even wow (wine) plays audio [23:40] if i hold the down arror key while booting will i boot into the old kernel ? [23:40] or winamp (wine) [23:40] i tried em all... [23:40] mplayer [23:41] is it even detecting your sound card? [23:41] yea [23:41] rinku_kokiri, it sounds like it is a sound issue and not a app issue [23:41] "internal audio analog stereo" [23:41] what kind of sound card you have? [23:41] intel hda [23:41] LOL [23:41] did anybody else notice this problem with smplayer? [23:41] me too [23:41] product: 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [23:41] Russia: In case I get dissconnected before I can give you complete instructions here is the grub.cfg you'd need to use on the USB: http://pastebin.com/iXz0XnGm and here is a link to an iso you can burn to a CD (or dd to a flash drive): http://jordanu.dyndns.org/grub/wubi_rescue.iso [23:41] rinku_kokiri, mplayer -ao alsa or mplayer -ao pulse. they both don't work? [23:42] f;alsdkfjas;ldkfjsa;dlfkja;flsdjalkfjasd;lkfj [23:42] didn't try commandline [23:42] sdiosjfnrekjfheow [23:42] LET'S DO IT [23:42] rinku_kokiri: http://www.distrotest.es/?p=6300 [23:42] try that at the command line ^ [23:42] Jordan_U: Would I just need to burn the .iso to a CD and then use it? [23:42] bonsoir [23:42] Russia: Yes. [23:43] that's it?? [23:43] Jordan_U: Oh, great, I'll go do it now. [23:43] make asound.conf? [23:43] Dr_Willis I can't seem to find any debian packages. Looked on their sourceforge [23:43] Jordan_U: Thanks for the help, i'll tell you how it works out. [23:43] Glad someone can read bueno [23:43] lol [23:43] !pin [23:43] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

[23:45] yep.. .closed youtube... amarok plays audio [23:45] lol [23:45] and i am sick and tired cause of c header files [23:45] rinku_kokiri: Write an /etc/asound.conf file, or else, a ~/.asoundrc [23:45] with that contents [23:46] i did... the result was above [23:46] You are fast! [23:46] amarok appeared to be working but alas.. it's just tricking me [23:46] at least now it doesn't sit on 0:00 like wut [23:46] I am afraid changes in /etc/asound.conf need to reboot === jacob_ is now known as Guest70372 [23:46] aah [23:46] bbiab then [23:47] can somebody please help me?

[23:52] i am having hard time to get this work [23:52] wizardslovak: getting what working? [23:52] install vmware [23:53] !vmware [23:53] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [23:53] Dr_Willis, how are they different? (honest question) [23:53] I dont use vmware. i use virtualbox. so cant really advise. [23:53] sam-_-: weechat has more features and is more mondern/newer design [23:54] Hey all.. can someone help me? I need 10.10 to boot up with wireless enabled on my acer laptop, but whenever it boots, I need to enable it manually. [23:54] hey, i'm trying to watch a movie on my laptop on my 32in lcd tv. so i connect with vga and i can't find the right setting [23:54] anyone else? [23:55] hi, having a bit of trouble with getting my USB headset to work with skype. ive read all the general guides on setup... and it works fine, but i cant specify which sound device to use in skype. its all just pulseaudio. [23:55] can someone help me with a sound issue? volume is really low and everything is turned all the way up [23:55] rinku_kokiri: At least you know the problem is at pulseaudio level. [23:55] Dr_Willis, does weechat have a python api? [23:55] !sound > chaospsychex [23:55] chaospsychex, please see my private message [23:55] That is a good clue [23:55] ok.. [23:55] sam-_-: python, perl, ruby, and tcl i think. [23:55] i've done ALL that bazhang. doesnt work [23:55] !work | chaospsychex [23:55] chaospsychex: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:56] @ whorush, what have you tried so far? [23:56] vlc 1.06 is not loading the shoutcast radio list. any reason why? [23:56] rinku_kokiry: some ideas: Double check /etc/asoun.conf , google: pulseaudio flash player... [23:56] bazhang meaning I have followed all the docs and it doesn't FIX my issue. Comprehend? Good! [23:57] hehe all these support Q's about pulseaudio.. ;( [23:57] i'm goin through the rest of https://wiki.edubuntu.org/PulseAudio right now [23:57] some people in this channel are just arrogant! [23:57] chaospsychex, lets keep it civil. [23:57] jessica, well, it takes me into nvidia's x config thingy, and i've just messing around inn there. i mean my screen comes up, but it's only showing a part of my screen and if i want to see the rest i hvae to move the mouse and then it will show me the other part [23:57] of course ;-) [23:58] @ whorush: okay... go under "Monitor Preferences" and click "detect monitors" do you get anything to show up? [23:59] jessica, i'm in the nvidia x server settings gui and it shows that there are two displays, one my laptop's screen and the other says "bby lcd tv" which is clearly the tv
