All seems to be fine when I manually launch getty, but something, such as the sudo password prompt appear on the server rather than the terminal, and once it's switched off, I have to go to the server to re-start getty. I have looked online and all of the websites refer to inittab, which does not exist in ubuntu 10.10. Does anyone know how to configur [01:20] e getty to maintain the connection and treat it as being started from the terminal itself (if that's how I should say it) ? [01:20] I swear i am gonna end up pulling my hair out trying to figure this out [01:20] There's no easy way to restore a boot loader o_o [01:20] amagee: i might be missing something, but i think you want 2>&1 not 2&>1 [01:20] marion: what are you trying to figure out? [01:21] any suggestion how to fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/694601 [01:21] amagee: you're running it from cron right?

[01:21] SnowyOwl: what was the question? [01:21] vpulsive_: what do you mean "running it from cron"? [01:22] pietr: here it goes again :P [01:22] amagee: i was assuming with the *'s at the beginning, but n/m [01:22] So I have a dumb terminal hooked up to the virtual/real serial port in Ubuntu Server.

[01:23] randy_: you can set a new one. But not recover the old. [01:23] howdy everyone [01:23] got a server question [01:23] SnowyOwl: gl [01:23] amagee: so if you run just the command from the prompt eg: "PYTHONPATH=/var/hg/playfi/src && python /var/hg/stuff/src/playfi/manage.py uploads" does it put anything out to stdout? [01:23] bandit5432: not yet, ill try, be back soon [01:23] bandit5432:thanks [01:23] amagee: without redirecting it i mean, just to the screen [01:23] np [01:23] Inumedia i wanted to remove ubuntu netbook edition from a win7starter, i erased the ubuntu files from c:\ubuntu (win is in C:\windows) but the grub for ubuntu still appear on on startup as an option for ubuntu load. [01:24] SnowyOwl: do it via a upstart script in /etc/init/ check the tty@ examples in init dir. === pietr is now known as pietr101 [01:24] Why would you install Ubuntu inside of your windows partition? [01:24] do I just throw my question in or is there a virtual "line" [01:24] test [01:24] KMG201 this is the result i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/547840/ [01:24] !ask | theundecided [01:24] theundecided: 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. :-) [01:24] thats not an issue [01:24] Dr_Willis, I know ,but how to come into recover mode,grub2 doesn't show menu [01:24] okidoki [01:25] Dr_Willis I've tried to launch upstart, but I can't get anywhere with it. [01:25] vpulsive_: i think i'm going to give up and write a daemon.. cron is just too annoying [01:25] when I type upstart into the prompt I get command not found [01:25] randy_: you can boot a live cd, and chroot in, and use passwd (best way) , or edit the /etc/shadow or password files by hand. (not a good idea) [01:25] hubunter, Try running the win7 recovery options and see where you can get, in most of the times I've messed up my bootloader, it's managed to fix it and restore the win7 bootloader. [01:25] if i installed on d\ and removed the same way(i know it was stupid) it probably had the same prob [01:25] on first boot of a new server install (vanilla as posible) I get the error message "codec_read: codec 0 is not valid 0xfe0000" (from quote to quote) 4 times [01:25] randy_: or edit the grub line and perhaps use the 'single' option, [01:25] can anyone help me with an ssh problem.....i am trying to follow http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/ but when i finish, i cannot log in via sftp with that user [01:25] randy_: and skip the livecd/chroot steps. [01:26] how do I use abcde to encode a log when i rip a cd? [01:26] inumedia, i dont have win on disk [01:26] amagee: the syntax looks right except for the 2>&1, it might have been erroring out and not even running the command since the syntax was wrong you know? [01:26] hubunter, do you have the original install disk? [01:26] kj [01:27] i dont have a disk drive either... its a net book... :\ lol [01:27] k [01:27] Ah [01:27] Well, you can still boot up windows, right? [01:27] I got a list of files when I typed dir /etc/init but how do I scroll up the list? === Shy is now known as Brandily [01:27] i think i can [01:27] but how? [01:27] SnowyOwl: i whold think you would copy the /etc/init/tty1.conf to some other serialconsole.conf then edit the file and use the proper command to give a terminal on the seroal port. [01:27] Do you still have grub working? [01:28] dos? [01:28] yes [01:28] grub is ok [01:28] And you still have windows installed? [01:28] snowyowl 'ls | more' will pause for you [01:28] SnowyOwl: Sounds like you may want to learn a bit more in bash basics befor doing this. [01:28] yes [01:28] vpulsive_: ok, i've fixed that, i've also added a line "* * * * * /bin/ls > /home/amagee/ls_out" [01:28] And is windows listed in grub?

[01:33] how do i reconfigure wifi in ubuntu again? iwconfig wlan0 channel <#> essid ; sudo dhclient -v wlan0" isn't working [01:33] I'll ask my question again, since this channel seems a bit swamped at the moment. My touchpad seems to accelerate faster horizontally rather than vertically, does anyone know a way to stop this? ( It seems to be caused by having two monitors side-by-side ) [01:33] Ubuntu 10.x.. use Chrome or Firefox?

Like in windows is "Program Files" [01:56] sool /usr/bin [01:56] soryr [01:56] k [01:56] how do i see what port a specific program is using?

[01:59] MrUnagi: ssh is not my area of expertise by any means [01:59] it is only with the created user though, which is why i was wondering what group may need to be added to [01:59] thethinker: Ubuntu One isn't a tree [01:59] Does anyone know why my two 500gb hardware raided drives are not being partitioned at install?

Consider using PASV. 550 Permission denied. [02:00] thethinker: sorry, never used ubuntu one before [02:00] i'd run "sudo -u amagee bash" from another user, so when i typed "cd", i was in a different directory to what i thought, so i didn't see them [02:00] amagee: so its working then right? [02:01] sorry for wasting your time [02:01] im trying to use msndvd [02:01] mandvd [02:01] but it keeps saying its running [02:01] MrUnagi you just ssh in the terminal or are you forwarding your x window?

[02:03] Sean93: I don't think I'll be much help.

I've been reading all day and still not sure what to do [02:06] Sean93, you don't connect direct with skype afiak [02:06] quietone possibly mencoder or ffmepg [02:06] quietone there are several scripts you can download for those that convert it to the proper audo and video bitrate and format.

[02:08] IsmAvatar: is that after install? [02:08] or the live disk boot [02:08] quietone, i use avidemux, it's quite good [02:08] potat0: live disk boot. I haven't been given the option to install yet. [02:09] cowslammer: check for alsa drivers [02:09] potat0: does your bios support booting from disks? [02:09] lol [02:09] potat0, how do i do that? [02:09] lol [02:10] potat0: I'd certainly assume so. I had to go into the bios to bump the CD boot order up before the HDD. [02:10] I have my blue-tooth device set to visible on phone but laptop doesnt see anything? [02:10] whats a good dvd converting software [02:10] I am suffering too much with my ISP [02:10] cowslammer: google. check if its not muted btw [02:10] its creating problem from the beginning [02:10] Sean93: Install it and you will see all the outgoing connections your computer is making and any flooded traffic you might get. [02:10] IsmAvatar: try without bumping up the order [02:10] potat0, already checked [02:10] IsmAvatar: as in, set HDD to first boot device, then press whatever key to boot into disk [02:11] er... ok? Presumably it'd just boot straight to HDD then, since it already has an OS [02:11] there has no other ISP which I can use [02:11] No [02:11] YangYin, thx for the script. so I need to learn how to rip to .avi first.

[03:48] ismavatr: do you have 2 computers to work with? [03:49] bandit5432: what boot screen? The one where it says "ubuntu" with the dots and purple background? [03:49] before that one [03:49] the bios screen? [03:49] when it starts to boot from the cd you might need to hit escape key [03:49] bandit5432: I don't think I get that screen [03:50] rww is smrt. [03:50] well you should be able to when you start [03:50] when i use wowtlk with opengl it crashes at run(error #132),i'm using ubuntu lucid 32bits and intel g31(if i run it qith direct x it will be very slow,around 2fps) and i run it without compiz [03:51] ismavatr: try hitting escape right when the ubuntu screen first comes up [03:51] bandit5432: my bios seems to insist on booting straight up to whatever device it picks up first [03:51] bandit5432: ok, I'll try that [03:51] ismavatr: thats fine as long as we are booting off the cd [03:51] if this works, what do I do next/ [03:52] just tell me when you get the options list [03:52] when does natty beta come out? [03:52] sonja not for a while [03:52] bandit5432: this is the computer I'm reformatting, so I'll need to reboot, try it, reboot into windows, and report back [03:52] i'll stick to maverick then :) [03:53] ismavatr: i was afraid you would say that [03:53] Sonja: around end of march unless they change it.

Changing the size of the Windows partition left, won't erase it, right? [03:53] it's ismavatar, and you might be able to tab-complete my nick, depending on your IRC client [03:53] ismavatr: are you installing or you just want the livecd [03:54] IsmAvatar, thanks that does work better [03:54] IsmAvatar, are you installing or you just want the livecd [03:54] bandit5432: I'm installing, but livecd would be fantastic, as that lets me browse and do stuff while it's installing [03:55] > when i use wowtlk with opengl it crashes at run(error #132),i'm using ubuntu lucid 32bits and intel g31(if i run it with direct x it will be very slow,around 2fps) and i run it without compiz [03:55] IsmAvatar, how are you going to use windows after you install? [03:55] it looks like nobody plays wow z.z [03:56] simon_: i'm not sure if that qualifies as a ubuntu question as much as a wine one, though i'm sure if someone did know they'd help. i take it you already tried asking in #wine? [03:56] bandit5432: the idea is that I install do I don't have to use faildows anymore >_> [03:56] so* [03:56] that took a long while [03:56] back [03:57] IsmAvatar: could you boot? [03:57] IsmAvatar, you can use wubi and install off the cd from winthin windows [03:57] hmm apparently not [03:57] potat0: haven't done the initramfs gentoo stuff you linked, was too complicated for me [03:58] IsmAvatar: okay well I'll find some way to boot it for you [03:58] Asus motherboard right?

[03:58] potat0, i have a vm up of the boot screen if that helps [03:58] d9500, here is #wine D:? [03:59] bandit5432: the problem is that his hdd's aren't being initialised [03:59] IsmAvatar: let me just try to get the documentation for it, one sec [03:59] potat0, ewww [03:59] potat0, has he tried installing instead of running the livecd? [03:59] simon_: it's actually #winehq [04:00] aj [04:00] bandit5432: to install, he needs the hdd's to be recognised [04:00] bandit5432, potat0: doesn't matter, it just gives me the ubuntu loading screen without asking if I want to install or run [04:00] ah. okay so saved the printer driver to the desktop... [04:00] it has an extension of deb.sh [04:00] Just a little question about the manual partitioner in the installer, anybody available to help me? :P [04:00] Any reason why , when I try to add Window Selector to panel, I get this error? The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet". [04:00] and Printing isn't interested in using the driver. [04:01] IsmAvatar, you can tell it options to use a driver update disk though [04:01] bandit5432: I'll take your word for it and pretend I know what that means [04:01] IsmAvatar: in your BIOS, you said you bumped up the CDROM drive, what other options were there? [04:01] potat0: floppy disk and net boot were priority options [04:01] It's a very vague error and I have no idea what to do about it [04:02] potat0: there were some other Options below it, but it didn't look relevant, and I don't remember what they were [04:03] IsmAvatar: set it to 1. CDR 2. HDD and then USB anythign, disable the rest [04:03] potat0: I don't recall seeing USB === l0nr4n is now known as Kuze [04:03] Printer driver help anyone? I'm trying to get a Dell V313w to work through a USB wired connection [04:03] IsmAvatar: does't matter as long as you can set CDR and HDD [04:03] d9500, thank you [04:04] potat0: I had it set to 1. Floppy, 2 CDR, 3. HDD, 4. Net, which allowed the CD to boot until the initramfs [04:04] simon_: no prob [04:04] downloaded the Ubuntu driver that Dell had on a page, and it was an archive - tar.gz [04:04] how do i get my bottom launcher/panel back? [04:04] potat0: and of course there's nothing in the floppy drive [04:04] IsmAvatar, check and make sure that you did not turn off the hard drive controller or change them from auto to disabled [04:04] IsmAvatar, nvm that was stupid you are booting windows from this box [04:04] and I extracted it to my desktop and pointed "Printing" to it, and nothing. [04:05] can anyone help? [04:05] yap [04:05] IsmAvatar: how big is yoru hard disk? [04:05] bandit5432: I was about to say, sounds like if I had disabled that I wouldn't have been able to boot windows from the hdd [04:05] potat0: like, 20 GB [04:05] potat0: with about 50 MB left [04:05] er [04:05] do you know if its SATA?

[04:07] potat0: well, it gave the typical BIOS stuff, and then the ubuntu purple load screen, and then the initramfs terminal. I wrote down all the text on the initramfs terminal [04:07] mrapple: kill the existing process [04:07] /etc/init.d/sshd restart or something similar [04:07] potat0: yeah if i loose my ssh on port 22 im screwed [04:07] in chromium browser, where do i set .nzb files to open with pan newsreader?

[04:08] i download an nzb in chromium, and click on the file at the bottom, and it opens an empty firefox browser page... [04:08] IsmAvatar, i cant find that motherboard on the asus site [04:08] potat0: er /etc/init.d/sshd restart?

[04:10] IsmAvatar: you can run normal commands there [04:10] potat0: yes, I can [04:10] potat0: although a lot of stuff isn't installed, lol [04:10] mrapple: that may be because you can use 22 for both [04:10] IsmAvatar: I want you to try mounting /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 [04:10] from there [04:11] potat0: what? [04:11] potat0: ok, once I mount my hdd, then what would I do? [04:11] IsmAvatar: we just need `mount` [04:11] potat0: ssh -p 22 and ssh -p 443 achieve the same thing still [04:12] potat0: I know that, I'm familiar with the mount command. I was just wondering what the next step would be if that worked. [04:12] IsmAvatar: well, next would be to make sure that your cdrom is mounted [04:12] its usually a device like /dev/scdx [04:12] potat0: I guess we're just looking for errors when trying to mount? [04:13] mrapple: well, you hae only one sshd, but now you want to _not_ connect on 443? [04:13] yes [04:13] correct === camper308 is now known as camper [04:13] IsmAvatar: we are making sure that the two filesystems needed (cd boot disk/hdd) are mounted and available [04:13] potat0, to boot a livecd it does not need a harddrive does it? [04:14] bandit5432: to install, yes [04:14] potat0: but I haven't even been asked to install yet. It seems to just try to boot the liveCD [04:14] potat0, he cant get to the livecd to ret anything out yet [04:14] exactly [04:14] IsmAvatar: once you mound scdx to /cdrom [04:14] do an `exit` [04:15] potat0: so it shouldn't be complaining about hdd yet [04:15] and hopefully you'll be given the normal menu [04:15] s there a way to detect if the screensaver is active besides looking for the gnome-screensaver process? Does it set a variable or something when its active? [04:15] albech, just wait for it to come on [04:15] i want a certain cronjob to run only when the screen saver isnt active [04:15] bandit5432: I don't think that even the cdrom device is being mounted properly [04:16] since nobody ins #winehq is live... [04:16] potat0, all is good this seems to be a common error though [04:16] when i use wowtlk with opengl it crashes at run(error #132),i'm using ubuntu lucid 32bits and intel g31(if i run it with direct x it will be very slow,around 2fps) and i run it without compiz.someone know something about this :(? [04:16] IsmAvatar, what all is connected to the computer zip drive floppy drive cd?? [04:16] bandit5432: weird hardware causes this normally, there has to be a bug report filed under a different motherboard [04:17] potat0, seeing on other forums that having other devices pluggedin causes this as well [04:17] http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18209871 [04:18] bandit5432: nothing much, CD/DVD drive with ubuntu liveCD. HDD hooked up to an HDD switcher. Floppy drive (empty). USB drives are not in use except by keyboard/mouse [04:18] potat0: ok i figured it out. i had port 22 and port 443 in my sshd config [04:19] am i connected? [04:19] IsmAvatar: i still want you to try mounting your CDROM to /cdrom in the initramfs terminal [04:19] anyways, the world keeps spinning [04:19] potat0: ok, I'll do that [04:19] guys, am i already connected? [04:19] bbl [04:19] primary or logic partition? what's the difference? what do I choose?

[04:40] IsmAvatar: mount it to /cdrom [04:41] bandit5432: no oddly === lollercaust is now known as kukenifittan_ [04:41] potat0: mount what? [04:41] the dvd drive [04:41] it will have a block device name in /dev [04:41] potat0: whats xchat? [04:41] potat0: /dev/whateverdvd/ was a folder [04:41] franz: xchat is an IRC client [04:42] YangYin, open up system>preference>network connections [04:42] IsmAvatar: you can mount /dev/whateverdvd even if you can browse it [04:42] anyone? [04:42] bandit5432: only got command line [04:42] bandit5432: but im checking into it [04:42] potat0: groan... Ok, I'll try that [04:42] bbl [04:42] axp2: forgot about the message, sorry, well [04:42] nit-wit, i tried also avira, all together i tried 4/5 scanners and some have trouble booting, some dont update, its hell lol, if i only could install clamav on the live usb..but that is impossible as far as i know right? [04:43] you sure it was cause of the ram [04:43] ? [04:43] hi [04:43] YangYin, ok i can do that to i think [04:43] frittenking, is it a unetbootin loaded usb [04:43] heya ShapeShifter499 [04:43] potat0: thanks, no problems. no that's the thing, it may not be the ram. i'm just trying to find which log to look at to see if there's more info just before it powers dow [04:43] n [04:43] bandit5432: this is too wierd [04:44] frittenking, pm [04:44] axp2: dmesg | tail [04:44] nit-wit, mostlz used unetbootin yes [04:44] two linux machines on same router one can access internet one cannot [04:44] how do I get firefox to use a specific application for a protocol? [04:44] YangYin, thats not wierd thats cli [04:45] frittenking, I have a dialogue open if you like [04:45] potat0: thanks, did you want me to paste output? i did that bu the messages don't show me much that means anything to me [04:46] How do I change my IP? [04:46] axp2: yes [04:46] dmesg >> log.txt; paste log somewhere [04:47] I was banned from an IRC server for unknown reason, and there email service is somhow not responding [04:47] still really? [04:47] YangYin, working on it [04:47] which lib should be installed to remove this error:mencoder: relocation error: mencoder: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference [04:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/547860/ [04:47] OrangePeel, are you using dhcp with a router? [04:48] OrangePeel: This is offtopic for #ubuntu, but turning your modem off and back on, and/or resetting it might cause it to do that. In my experience with Comcast in California, that doesn't usually do anything, and you're at the liberty of their DHCP servers. [04:48] dhcp ? sorry, I run off a modem of comcast to wirelss router [04:48] yes rwrd [04:48] rww, [04:48] Hello, I am having trouble getting 10.10 to run on my new laptop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214022 . The screen simply goes out after I select "Install Xubuntu" from the alternate install CD. I have tried nomodeset, xforcevesa, and vga=771. No luck. I can paste the last messages that post if that would help [04:48] haha, really? [04:49] YangYin, whats does 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' [04:49] say [04:49] axp2: your system didn't die recently from a kernel panic or anythign afai [04:49] k === newbie is now known as gabucho [04:49] lspci may help moar [04:49] OrangePeel, this is way offtopic, because what you need to change is the IP of the wireless router. you may be able to do that by changing it's MAC address then reset the cablemodem [04:50] ok cowslammer .....can on recommnd a mac adress changer program for ubuntu? Without use of wine. [04:50] Can't stand wine [04:50] bandit5432: you can cat things?! [04:50] wow [04:50] thanks potato0, any suggestions for me to see if i can work out what it is? (i.e. something to catch it or log it if it happens again) [04:50] dhcp chagning ip doesn't require a mac address change [04:50] which lib should be installed to remove this error:mencoder: relocation error: mencoder: symbol codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference [04:51] bandit5432: address 192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.2 [04:51] ok, thanks potat0 [04:51] axp2: well mostly ram related and kernel panics are logged by dmesg and lspci [04:51] lol [04:51] axp2: when youre there, run memtest [04:51] Amtrask: May i recommend not using xubuntu but standard Ubuntu? [04:51] theres no difference between xubuntu and ubuntu anyway [04:51] OrangePeel, it depends on what your wireless router uses - most you connect to with a web browser. if you don't know how to do that i'm afraid it's beyond the scope of this channel [04:51] except for xfce [04:51] YangYin, does that look correct to you [04:51] rusivi I could give it a crack but since this is all before x even starts I doubt the window manager would make a difference [04:52] potat0: ok, mounted the /dev/whateverdvd folder to cdrom. It mounted fine. I did cd /cdrom and it just said 'control', which was the file inside the whateverdvd folder [04:52] bandit5432: yep [04:52] bandit5432: looks right to me [04:52] Amtrask: Fair enough, still would try it just to rule out distro difference. [04:52] and you cant ping the other computer? [04:52] potat0: sorry, I did ls /cdrom, not cd [04:52] Yeah I knew how to do that with my netgear G router cowslammer .....not my old one i'm using now [04:52] h/o [04:52] rusivi I'll start torrenting it now [04:52] ok. here's my lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547861/. thanks potat0 [04:53] bandit5432: can i do that? [04:53] IsmAvatar: did you exit after mounting? [04:53] nvm, i'll find some other wy [04:53] cquaid, do what? [04:53] axp2: all seems well in that, now rum memtest [04:53] orangepeel i suggest you google for a manual for your router. [04:53] jk ; you can ping also! [04:53] OrangePeel: is this about changing yoru ip address? [04:53] will do cowslammer [04:53] thanks, i ran memtest and it reported no errors [04:54] yeah potat0 [04:54] axp2: then don't worry abotu yoru ram, its fine [04:54] I just click on everything until it breaks, then ring frank [04:54] For a simple fact of joining an irc server for no reason..... [04:54] i mostly wont break again [04:54] and their ip is unable to respond to me back [04:54] bandit5432: im stumped [04:54] Axp2. What's the problem n? [04:54] potat0: you didn't tell me to, but yes, actually. I did try that. It just brought me back to an initramfs terminal again, with the /cdrom unmounted again. I exit again and I get a panic, and it freezes, so I hard rebooted [04:54] OrangePeel: turn off the router, turn it back on [04:54] run netsetup eth0 [04:54] thanks potat0 [04:54] or whatever device it is, [04:54] cquaid: Can you keep comments that aren't support-related to #ubuntu-offtopic, please? [04:54] YangYin, can you ping the other comuter or the gateway? [04:54] bandit5432: i have correct network ip, i can ping both routers nothing should be stunting my ability to go out [04:55] potat0, run netsup eth0? [04:55] oh sorry, [04:55] IsmAvatar: so yeah, the device is not handled properly [04:55] is that a terminal ommand? [04:55] command ? [04:55] YangYin, have you tried restarting? [04:55] you have that option which i reccomended nyRednek [04:55] bandit5432: yep twice [04:55] creating a small partition adn dd'ing the image into it [04:55] GrouperToo: have had two instances in the past 12 hours where i've returned to my PC and it's been powered off. i installed a new stick of ram yesterday so i put 2 and 2 together thinking it would be the ram causing it. [04:55] OrangePeel: yes [04:56] axp2: thermal overload? [04:56] bandit5432: i have two linux servers running avahi-damon would that be conflicting? [04:56] as it's never happened before, i am at a loss to work out what caused it, unless i did something else when i opened up the case [04:56] anyone else have a wierd update a couple of weeks back for Wireless NICs? For some odd reason, Ubuntu on my laptop will NOT connect to my secured network unless the AC adaptor is plugged in. It has not problem connecting to unsecured networks though... unplugged or plugged. [04:56] potat0, [04:56] potat0, do you mind if I PM you what it just told m ? [04:56] me [04:56] if you're too busy I understand [04:56] Skaperen: you mean overheating? [04:56] OrangePeel: sure [04:57] I'm after a gentoo bug anyways [04:57] and waiting for the fucking washer [04:57] YangYin, are you behind a router or modem? [04:57] both computers are on the same router [04:57] they are physically connected next to the port [04:57] YangYin: what's the problem here? [04:57] duwes [04:57] potat0, lols ty [04:58] he cant connect to internets [04:58] bandit5432: what's he trying to do? [04:58] oh [04:58] bandit5432: same router [04:58] he is on cli only [04:58] as in, two different networks? [04:58] he can ping gw and other computer [04:58] potat0: ok, lol, so linux doesn't like my cd/dvd drive? What do? >_> === Wolfwolf is now known as LupoGarou [04:58] potat0: two linux servers sitting next to each other on the same router one can access the outside world the other cant === nick_ is now known as Guest21245 [04:58] Hello, anyone using Okular? Can Okular store annotation in pdfs now? [04:58] despite the fact that i can access the computer which cant access the outside world [04:58] thanks. [04:59] potat0: not linux, yoru hardware [04:59] hey folks... my specs for my mobo say support for sata ata-150... anyone know if a sata3 will work with that? [04:59] * potat0 fails [04:59] *IsmAvatar [04:59] gsp2009, yes it will [04:59] YangYin: dhcp/static [04:59] ? [04:59] bandit5432: thank you very much... :) [04:59] potat0: static [04:59] one is .99 the other is 98 [05:00] YangYin: enabled NAT on the router? [05:00] potat0: my hardware doesn't like my cdrom? But it works fine in windows... And it boots most of Ubuntu... [05:00] SATA I and 1.5 Gbit/s SATA II were referred to as both "SATA 1.5G" [b/s] or "SATA 150" [MB/s]). Therefore, they will operate at negligible differences of each other [05:00] potat0: yeah i can reach server1 and it serves pages but from server1 i cannot ping anything outside my network [05:01] potat0: prolly a minor glitch with the way the boot disk was made [05:01] YangYin: can you try re-allocating an ip to the second box? [05:01] netsetup (adapter name here) [05:01] potat0: its static [05:01] select wired/dhcp [05:01] hmm [05:01] gsp2009, yw look at this page for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA [05:01] potat0: oh [05:01] potat0: i could try [05:01] sure [05:02] hell [05:02] lets see [05:02] wtf [05:02] potat0: a glitch in the boot disk? Like, it burned wrong, or there's a problem in the iso? [05:03] YangYin, it works ?? [05:03] its still pointing to gateway 192.168.1.1 [05:03] can you tell about wireshark? [05:03] you had the gw wrong [05:03] it needs to point to gateway 192.168.1.2 [05:03] oooh shit [05:03] nope it needs to point at 1.1 [05:03] hold on lemme check the wires [05:03] IsmAvatar: well, no, the hardware support must not have been compiled into the kernel [05:04] IsmAvatar: do you have ssh running? I can try something [05:04] potat0: er? I'm on windows, lol [05:04] oh [05:04] forgot [05:04] bandit5432: thank.. had a look there before asking... but to be honest, I couldn't make it out... I think it short it is a driver issue right? vs. hardware... is that right? [05:04] pada cuek ah [05:05] IsmAvatar: you can create a partition (small one) and burn the iso into it, then boot into it [05:05] jembutlah [05:05] idhox: English here, please. [05:05] potat0: can I do that in wubi? [05:06] rww: where r u from? [05:06] gsp2009, no its a diffrent notation of the same thing [05:06] I havent touched windoze in a while but im sure someone here has [05:06] not sure [05:06] bandit5432: my networking setup is kinda fudged a bit so it should actually be pointing to 192.168.1.2 because thats the router that has the internet connection [05:07] potat0: I mean, I wanted to make a partition, but the only way I really know how to do that is from a boot CD.... and that's not going so well [05:07] are you lady [05:07] YangYin: configure the adapter yourself [05:07] potat0: i did [05:07] potat0: but it still doesnt access the internet [05:07] jembut [05:07] this is confusing [05:07] YangYin: can you ping the router? [05:07] bandit5432: cool.. ty [05:07] potat0: yes both [05:08] idhox: #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux. #ubuntu-offtopic is our channel for other offtopic chatter. Neither are dating chatrooms. [05:08] potat0: jembut [05:08] rww: no problem? [05:08] Anyone here would know why ubuntu doesn't reconize my interal blueray player? I cant even eject a cd/dvd/anything, however when I start it up before ubuntu starts I can do so [05:08] IsmAvatar: do you have a small usb stick? [05:08] ermm blueray reader* [05:08] is there even kernel support for bluray devices yet? [05:09] potat0: yeah, but it's got some stuff on it right now. Does it need to be formatted? [05:09] getting error when i m playing video in totem [05:09] ubuntu memamng buntu [05:09] how can i change the pc name? [05:09] video/x-asf-unknown decoder [05:09] well in windows you can make the usb stick bootable and with the iso [05:09] google that [05:09] getting error when i m playing video in totem video/x-asf-unknown decoder [05:09] digitalfiz: can [05:09] siddharth: sounds like your missing something [05:09] i have tar.gz packed driver.. its not sourcecode... so i guess i should install it somehow.. any good idea? [05:09] siddharth: install vlc, be happy [05:09] I dont even care if I cant play bluerays or not, its just my own cd/dvd drive a i have ~_~ [05:10] siddarth I think you may need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:10] needlez : the video is also not working on mplayer [05:10] siddharth or VLC [05:10] potat0, are you familiar with using laptop mode to cache disk writes? [05:10] mew band in denmark boy [05:10] siddharth: install VLC as stated or ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:10] bandit5432: sweet a reboot did the trick with DHCP [05:10] potat0: ok, I guess I'll look into a boot USB instead of a boot CD. [05:11] nice [05:11] anyone here familiar with laptop mode? [05:11] go into synpatic to do that mplayer and totem arent as good as VLC and both require restricted-extras to run some extra things [05:11] cowslammer: no, but ask anything [05:11] If I use 'ln -s ~/folder ~/secondfolder/folder' and ~/folder already exists, will it overwrite it? [05:11] YangYin, so its working? [05:11] needlez : let me install vlc === Pinako is now known as Pinako|wet [05:11] I have never understood why VLC can install as 100% free software but have the ability to decode all that stuff, but other things need the restricted extras stuff [05:11] potat0: I'll work on that tomorrow. Gonna sleep now. Unless you have any other suggestions or quick things to try [05:12] kk try that and if it still doesnt work let me kno [05:12] bandit5432: right now since it looks at the router it is plugged into [05:12] needlez : ya [05:12] but vlc should play it... it plays everything... [05:12] r000t_laptop: no. See 'man ln', it goes into detail about this in the Description section. [05:12] IsmAvatar: its 10 anyway [05:12] go to sleep i guess [05:13] bandit5432: i recently had gotten a new wireless router and just installed that so im thinking the comp was holding onto old cashed stuff [05:13] potat0, supposedly it gives a way to cache disk writes which saves battery by not having the disk spun up constantly.. this is also relevent if you're running directly off a thumbdrive as other wise it writes every 5 seconds [05:13] oh somebody fry me, im hungry again [05:13] potat0: GMT-5 here, so 15 past midnight [05:13] r000t_laptop: in short, if you /want/ it to overwrite, use ln -fs [05:13] Also, I just did that... and it created folder inside of secondfolder/folder [05:13] anyone here familiar with laptop mode? [05:14] potat0, thanks for getting YangYin going [05:14] bandit5432 potat0 thanks! [05:14] Hi all [05:14] r000t_laptop: ah, yeah. if it's a directory, it' [05:14] r000t_laptop: ... 'd do that. [05:14] bandit5432: np [05:14] What is the best distro to install in a OLD PC, with 256MB of RAM and Intel Celeron D? [05:14] YangYin: no [05:14] What I'm doing is making a bash script that I run after a reinstall. The goal is that it replaces things like .gconf with symbolic links to their backups in Dropbox [05:14] potat0: thanks for your help. Maybe I'll have more luck tomorrow [05:15] potat0: no? [05:15] cowslammer: you can fool it into thinking acpi is running and its on batteries [05:15] np = no problem [05:15] ^^ [05:15] r000t_laptop: is the backup folder also named .gconf? [05:15] potat0, do you know how? [05:15] means the same as your welcome [05:15] Josesordo: a small one i would suggest going to distro-watch.com and check out those they have a short description [05:15] Josesordo 256mb is pretty low but you might try Xubuntu [05:15] rww yes [05:16] yeah is a old and cheap PC a cousin have lol [05:16] potat0, i run off a thumbdrive and it works really well except for the constant writes [05:16] cowlicks: sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start [05:16] cowslammer: * [05:16] wrong nick [05:16] rww In fact the backup folder keeps exact structure even if the link is inside a subfolder (EG, I link ~/Downloads/folder, Downloads is created in the backup folder to mantain structure [05:17] what is the difference between a hardlink and a softlink? [05:17] r000t_laptop: "ln -fs path/to/backup/.gconf" will create a symlink in the current directory named ".gconf" that points to path/to/backup/.gconf, and attempt to unlink any existing .gconf in the current directory first [05:17] later guys thanks again bandit5432 and potat0 [05:17] later [05:17] symlinks are sexy [05:17] rww thanks! [05:18] Ubuntu use to mount cdroms at /media/cdrom0 or some such.. where are they mounted now? [05:18] net.org [05:18] potat0 I installed Ubuntu on my gf's computer because she always saw me using it and wanted to try it. To ease the transition I linked the Ubuntu Firefox config directories to the Windows ones so they are persistent. I love links [05:18] another question guys, I wanna re-install ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, but How I backup correctly my /home?.. I have /home in another partition.. [05:19] rww I'm doing this to a lot of .folders. Are there any (that come with Ubuntu) that will cause problems if I take the current version (after a month of usage) and drop it into a new install? [05:19] Josesordo as long as you are careful when you re-install, you shouldn't have to do anything to backup that partition [05:19] Like, do they have dependencies? [05:19] unless you're trying to change the partitions [05:20] r000t_laptop: I don't know. I've never encountered problems, but I usually only restore a handful of dotfolders that I know I want (.ssh, .gnupg, not settings stuff like .gconf) [05:21] Amtrask: sym/soft links vs hardlinks: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/11/links.html [05:21] rww the goal is that I back up enough things and keep a record of manually installed packages, so I run this one script and it creates the links and reinstalls the packages, and it's like nothing happened [05:21] can anyone running ubuntu check for package 'netsetup' ? [05:21] do an aptitude fast [05:21] !info netsetup | potat0 [05:21] potat0: Package netsetup does not exist in maverick [05:21] i cbb booting to ubuntu for it [05:21] lucid? [05:21] no netsetup [05:21] !info netsetup lucid | potat0 [05:21] potat0: Package netsetup does not exist in lucid [05:22] Amtrask, http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html for hard/soft link info [05:22] thanks [05:22] Thanks rww and quietone! [05:22] r000t_laptop: I'd probably just copy them over instead. Symlinking seems overly complex :\ [05:22] rww I'd do that too, but the point behind the symlinking is that any change is automatically put in Dropbox [05:23] ah [05:23] I use drives that fail alot. This one has had 6 warranty replacements and Ubuntu informs me it's time to call india again [05:23] wow, what hardware are you using that fails so much? [05:24] r000t_laptop what brand is that if I may ask? To avoid it... [05:24] how do you search for files which "don't contain" a certain word or phrase [05:24] WXZ: grep -v [05:24] <[thor]> r000t_laptop: i suggest getting a good SSD [05:24] <[thor]> i use an intel x25 [05:24] Amtrask, so when Im in installer I dont need to touch the /home partition? [05:24] amtrask shingen: It's a Dell, but it's stock HDD lasted for 3 years of abuse. Then I bought a Samsung drive. F A I L... I've had bad experiences with anything Samsung [05:24] shingen: is there anyway to do it in a gui like nautilus? [05:24] just order good drives off amazon [05:25] In fact, they got confused on the last replacement and sent two drives [05:25] Amtrask, cuz when I install 10.04 from 9.04, I failed to backup /home..dont know why T_T [05:25] WXZ: no clue, sorry [05:25] Anyway I just had this amazing idea to make a nautilus context menu item that automatically adds the file/folder to a backup folder and creates a symlink [05:25] symlinking to a backup = not a good idea [05:26] Why? [05:26] The folder is always on the drive, it's just monitored [05:26] backups are meant to stay out the way till you fuck up somethiong [05:26] Josesordo if the installer recognizes the filesystem there, you can instruct it to mount that partition at /home and specifically tell it NOT to touch the data. I haven't actually DONE this kind of install but I have seen the option on the installer. I would still probably backup to an external drive if I were you thoguh [05:26] hey - i just installed ubuntu and i have a q - can any1 help? [05:26] potat0: Dropbox I meant... It use it as backup [05:26] well make another partition, use it for backup [05:26] The backup comes in the fact that it's all stored on Amazon S3 and on all my other computers [05:26] dropbox has too many variables [05:26] nnnkk [05:27] r000t_laptop: never used samsung hdds, don't trust 'em... only seagate and wd for me... and cheap / slow (but reliable) kingston ssds... [05:27] openoffice keeps crashing on me [05:28] shingen: It was cheap. Otherwise I'm the same way. [05:28] ray24, when [05:28] every hour [05:28] woy [05:28] hello ive just come across a problem rather odd, dont really know too much yet. i just updated my kernel on my laptop to 2.6.35-24 on my ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 and once it reboot it sends me to tty1 === Pinako|wet is now known as Pinako [05:30] shingen: Seagate is also the only HDD I use when putting boxen together [05:31] ray24, have you adjusted the memory like this,. [05:31] Ubuntu use to mount cdroms at /media/cdrom0 or some such.. where are they mounted now? [05:31] ray24, http://imagebin.org/129708 [05:31] <[thor]> i <3 my intel x25 [05:31] izinucs, i believe its sr0 [05:31] hi [05:31] i have a question [05:32] i cant put my password when i type any sudo command in the terminal [05:32] waffles_: /dev/sr0 ?? [05:32] nit-wit, nope. mine is not like that [05:32] ray24, that is to make it run better [05:32] nit-wit, 100 , 20, 5.2, 00:10 , 20 [05:32] but that was the default [05:32] What's a terminal command that makes a dialog popup (just a message with an OK button)? [05:32] yasser: you realize that sudo doesn't echo your password to the screen or make ***, right? === siddharth is now known as sidd_mak [05:33] izinucs, yeah i just double checked /dev/sr0 [05:33] waffles_: is that an "upstart" thing now? [05:33] yasser what do you mean you "cant"? What happens? [05:33] ray24, the one I'm showing you is a tweak to get better performance [05:33] thx rww i check it right now [05:33] hi i have a question [05:33] nit-wit, ok thanks I've imitated your settings [05:33] izinucs, it started 10.04 or 10.10 [05:33] what is Linux? [05:33] r000t_laptop: zenity should be able to do that. "zenity --info", perhaps? [05:33] waffles_: thanks [05:33] Hello everyone, i have my wifi unsecure due to a printer issue i was having and i found out that someone was stealing bandwith when i went to secure the net, this has been going on for a while. Is there anything i can do to teach them a lesson? [05:34] !linux | oscar [05:34] oscar: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [05:34] rww I want to customize it. Like, I want to pass a string to it and have that be the message [05:34] ubnoob: if he has an unsecured network, lots and lots of horse porn will do [05:34] r000t_laptop: you can do that. see zenity's manpage ;) [05:34] ooohhh [05:34] but yeah, you need to have some of that in the first place [05:35] ray24, I have java off as well I don't need it [05:35] ubnoob: yea why not MAC filter it and change it to WPA2 and make it a complex password [05:35] potat0: As our channel guidelines say, please keep things family-friendly and polite in here. I'd appreciate it if you toned down the cussing and such. [05:35] thank you very much rww see u [05:35] where i can learn for make a core like linux? [05:35] ubnoob: WEP is breakable and so is WPA/ WPA2 but the last too take a bit longer... [05:35] oscar school [05:35] two** [05:36] he/ she is on my router at this time- i want to rebound befor knocking them off. [05:36] yes, i will do that. [05:36] nit-wit, why is java needed in openoffice? [05:36] ubnoob: first thing I'd do would be to secure your router and set a WEP password [05:36] oscar, search LFS, last i checked it showed you how to write it from scratch [05:37] wyclif: WEP isn't secure === waffles_ is now known as waffles [05:37] ubnoob if at all possible do NOT use WEP as your wifi point security, it is incredibly broken [05:37] wyclif: I can crack WEP in under 5 minutes [05:37] less broken than no security [05:37] yes but wepis better than nothing [05:37] needlez: OR some other protocol *cough* === waffles is now known as yshi [05:37] wep is' [05:38] ray24, not sure really, must be a reason I only just write straight papers for college classes [05:38] Your average wifi stealer doesn't know how to break WEP, even though it's practically point and click these days. [05:38] I will set up the WEP later after i figure out how to get my epson printer to connect. [05:38] true, but I'd rather do WPA2 [05:38] indeed [05:38] needlez: we're talking n00b stage security here, it's better than nothing, which is what he's got now [05:38] i would rather diable wireless and use wires [05:38] disable' [05:38] what is the best irc client for ubuntu? [05:38] royale1223: irssi [05:38] has anyone else had trouble with the new kernel? [05:38] royal1223 "best" is a matter of degrees but I like XChat [05:39] is there a channel for 11.04? Or is this it? [05:39] royale1223, i prefer xchat [05:39] neiz: #ubuntu+1 [05:39] rww: thank you [05:39] xchat doesnt have much features [05:39] i use mirc [05:39] The only program that would break a WEP is kismac as far as i know, i have'nt found any others that would break a WEP [05:39] wyclif: you don't kno that the person stealing it is a noob, i would set up high security just to be safe... rather safe then sorry is how I look at it... and setting up WPA2 isnt any harder then setting up WEP...lol [05:39] royale1223: there is an #irssi channel on freenode I think [05:39] ubnoob: I've done it with aircrack-ng [05:39] kk [05:39] ubnoob: Aircrack-ng under 5 min [05:39] hence my family now using WPA2 :) [05:40] bandit5432, is there a linux version of mirc? or do you wine it? [05:40] wyclif, i'l check it out [05:40] thanks guys [05:40] yshi, sorry that was a joke [05:40] rww: still not safe enough ...lol check out Pyrit...lol I have that serious hacking stuff [05:40] needlez: right, WPA2 is def better, I don't dispute that is better. So go ahead and help him set it up! [05:40] yshi, i use xchat [05:40] rww: really? thats kool! [05:41] bandit5432, oh :( i rather enjoyed mirc's layout, kind of hoped i could use [05:41] needlez: i tried it with aircrack to see if i could but i had no luck [05:41] ubnoob also if you only have one or two devices using wireless, I'd get a password from www.grc.com/pass [05:41] yshi, it might work let me look [05:41] needlez: As far as I'm aware, Pyrit is non-feasible if you use decently-strong passphrases. [05:41] ubnoob: prolly your card wasn't supported to do injection [05:41] the huge, complex password are a pain to type but you can copy/paste and you only really have to look at it once, in most cases [05:41] but im straying here, can anyone spare a minute for me? im kind of fried right now, cant think straight [05:41] royale1223: if you have a minute I can point you to a resource that has helped me get up to speed fast [05:42] rww: true... but i also have cowpatty plus the 1000 common SSIDS and 1 billion passphrase list...lol [05:42] needlez: yes thats possible [05:42] i cannot for the life of me remember how to get a gui [05:42] rww: i get bored [05:42] yshi startx? [05:42] Amtrask: thanks for the advice [05:42] [0oeisd'bxzpihasWFRQEOF[PO]IORE[IA [05:42] royale1223: quadpoint.org/articles/irssi will help get started [05:43] GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you [05:43] yshi, imirc works sort of with wine [05:43] my password is x1x0x1x0xz and it broke it in a less then a few hours...lolso id say its pretty feasible [05:43] i kept trying 'start x' and the like [05:43] wyclif, alryt [05:43] but you need a pretty high end graphics card to do that [05:43] how can i find my root password, i have a 10.04 LTS ubuntu [05:43] needlez: your password isn't what I meant by "decently-strong passphrases" ;P [05:43] yshi did you try startx as one word? [05:43] !root | yasser [05:43] yasser: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:43] yasser, you can't [05:44] Anyone know of a Ubuntu Driver for an Epson Workforce 520 all in one printer? I looked everywere but no dice [05:44] thanks [05:44] Thats the best factoid yet [05:44] okay i found my problem, nvidia does not like me [05:45] how do i setup a huawei wireless modem? [05:45] <[thor]> needlez: you need something like h%^fgb@s%aA#f&hWs*k [05:45] you mean alot longer with more randomized rite?? like more then 20 randomized keys...lol [05:45] rs0832: was that file correct? [05:45] ny51bern_, yes :) [05:45] nvidia kernel module v 260.19.06 driver v 260.19.21 and it cannot find any screens [05:45] Why do people in here avoid telling people that request the root password how to become root via doing a sudo -i or doing a sudo passwd? [05:45] <[thor]> lower, caps, symbols, and no recognizable or translatable words [05:46] yes i figured that but you might wanna do more then 20 char...lol i have for every possible char up to 20 char long...lol and takes a few weeks/ months to go thru...lol got a few computers here with some good graphics cards...lol [05:46] rs0832: alrighty good. it says not to edit...are we going to edit it? lol [05:46] Gilos: sudo -i is mentioned in the page ubottu links to. The reasons why we don't support sudo passwd are also detailed there. [05:46] <[thor]> if you can use a mneumonic to remember it, so much the better [05:46] ny51bern_, nope [05:46] ny51bern_, we edit the other one and the update the config into this one :) [05:46] i have problem ubuntu not boot from dvd but from cd boot the same drive [05:46] needlez from a purely academic standpoint, sure, the password can be broken, but you can't try a million keys a second over wireless [05:46] does anyone know how to use pork> [05:46] ? [05:47] rs0832: okay... so whats my first step/what should i do? [05:47] rww: I guess I should go read the link :) [05:47] i can try about 100,000 a second...lol [05:47] Amtrask, are you serious? [05:47] ny51bern_, in a terminal run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [05:47] ever heard of cowpatty...lol if its in the 1000 ssid list [05:47] Away: what exactly is the problem? [05:48] rww: tis a fast channel, wont stick around for long anyway [05:48] Ultimately, the only secure computer is one with no power in a locked safe. All security less than that is a tradeoff :) [05:48] <[thor]> Amtrask: you don't need to try those keys over wireless, you sniff a connection, fake a disconnect to the legit client, and then record the encrypted reconnect [05:48] boot live cd or install ubuntu fron dvd [05:48] from [05:48] rww: i second that...lol [05:48] rs0832: okay new txt thingy popped up [05:48] okay, I have a question, I installed the netbook edition of 10.10 and it's different, I think I can get used to it, but I would like a real applications drop down (sorta like a start menu) is there a way to enable or add this? [05:48] [thor] ah. I've never tried to crack anything before [05:48] <[thor]> Amtrask: and then spend xxxx time cracking locally, so you use the correct password once when you actually do connect. [05:49] lols [05:49] ny51bern_, yes , this is the recommended way to edit the grub configuration [05:49] rww: thats why i have mine set up locked but i dont really care if someone breaks it ... i mean if you wanna take the time go ahead... you'd have a better chance coming to my door and asking for it tho...lol [05:49] Gilos, I ended up just using the ubuntu desktop edition... [05:49] Gilos, you don't have to reinstall. Just logout, and relogin, selecting "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" as your session type [05:49] ny51bern_, now do you remember which entry on the menu is windows? when you see the grub menu at boot? [05:49] its like the last 1 [05:49] Gilos, I found it annoying that the netbook edition isn't very configurable [05:49] error note : no emulation or mbr error [05:49] Away: do you want to install or just try the disk? You can check your BIOS configuration if your having problems loading. [05:50] rs0832: its like that last 1. theres ubuntu, then a bunch of other stuff [05:50] potat0: This seems to be rather irrelevant to my point :\ [05:50] when i boot from dvd [05:50] thor? is this that knew flaw found in TKIP your talkin about?? or what?? [05:50] <[thor]> ? no.. just the process of using aircrack-ng [05:50] hi yall [05:50] bios check [05:50] <[thor]> what you do to disconnect the client is up to you. [05:50] clausen, I chose the netbook because of my crappy resolution on this dell. I like the icons on the side, but dang, they should have made that ubuntu symbol at the top the applications menu. [05:50] away: I understand that you can boot from CD but not DVD- is this correct? [05:50] ny51bern_, ok find the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 in the file you just opened, and then i'll tell you what to do next [05:51] rs0832: got it [05:51] yes [05:51] true... i use the thing built into aircrack-ng deauth [05:51] Gilos, the desktop edition is quite configurable... you can drag the panel to the left side, etc. [05:51] Gilos, (you have to unlock it first) [05:51] problem is also with win7/vista [05:51] Gilos, and you can increase the size of icons if you like [05:52] ny51bern_, ok now you have to change that line.. dont do it yet.. i;ll check your config from the paste and tell you what to replace it with.. give me a minute [05:52] Gilos, (you unlock things by right-clicking, and then clicking unlock) [05:52] LOTR is on in the background on TNT [05:52] rs0832: okay sounds good [05:52] <[thor]> yeah, the deauth is a faked disconnection.. basically telling the connected client that they have lost authorization ( it then reconnects ) [05:52] Away: I don't know why you cant boot from a DVD unless the drive dosent suport it, are you wanting to install Ubuntu? [05:52] <[thor]> this is not talk for a support channel [05:53] [thor] yeah I let it go after firmly lodging my foot in my mouth :P [05:53] better question. how do i back track one kernel? [05:53] clausen, I tried that, didn't like how the icons/tabs looked. Maybe I should try something like docky on the side? [05:53] <[thor]> :D [05:53] a try many systems [05:53] i [05:53] yeps...lol aircrack-ng is fun [05:53] ny51bern_, ok so you should replace GRUB_DEFAULT=0 with GRUB_DEFAULT=6 [05:53] question how do you chown a folder on a wubi install [05:54] rs0832: ok [05:54] im using rsync in a BASH script & piping its output to $log (rsync -avr $1 $2 1>$log)... each rsync command still outputs "Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS" when i run the script. how to make that stop ? [05:54] <[thor]> Gilos: i recommend cairo-dock-glx [05:54] rs0832: click save? [05:54] ny51bern_, next save it, [05:54] rs0832: yup [05:54] <[thor]> Gilos: it's sexier than docky, and has more levels of control. [05:54] ny51bern_, then open a terminal and run [05:54] Gilos: I second thor... i run cairo-dock myself [05:54] i bye cheap dvd [05:54] ny51bern_, sudo update-grub [05:54] Gilos, I'm surprised it looked bad... perhaps you need to make the size an even multiple of 12 to get it to look good? [05:54] buy [05:55] Gilos, (to get the icons to look good) [05:55] Gilos, third, if i wanted to use a dock, thats my favorite [05:55] zosky: >& $log for stdout and errors [05:55] thor needlez :thanks, I will check that out. [05:55] ls [05:55] Away: thats good, Ubuntu 10.10 is a good system to try, good luck with your journey. [05:55] rs0832: okay did that [05:55] clausen, just didn't like the text on the icons and having to make them too wide so they weren't truncated. [05:55] rs0832: wanna c what it responded? [05:56] Kiba-dock used to be the shit, but can't get it to run anymore...lol libglitz1 is gone...so sad [05:56] Gilos, text? [05:56] ny51bern_, 1 minute [05:56] toshiba-samsung [05:56] shingen, you da man!!! thnx [05:56] thor: what do you think of Kiba-dock?? think it was nice?? [05:56] 20$ [05:56] if i have proprietary video driver installed, can i use a generic to get to a gui? [05:57] <[thor]> not used it [05:57] ny51bern_, sorry :) someone at my door [05:57] Gilos, you can have just the ubuntu menu, without "Applications, Places, System" [05:57] I just found a ubuntu based distro that I'm trying in virtual box to see if I like it. Ultimate-Edition [05:57] my liteon was crash [05:57] rs0832: haha no worries [05:57] yshi if you hold shift as the computer boots, GRUB should list a "single user" mode or "recovery" mode or something [05:57] yshi and if you select that, it should have a "boot with safe graphics" option [05:57] and motherboard crash too [05:57] ny51bern_, k.. lets continue... paste the output if you got any [05:57] Gilos: ultimate edition is so loaded with crap, it's bloatware :) [05:57] thor: image cairo-dock but you can take the icons and sling-shot them around the desktop when you get bored...lol [05:58] i change Abit NF7 to ASUS A7V8X Delux [05:58] Amtrask, thank you, i couldnt figure out how to get grub to show up. only ever seen it when dual booting [05:58] I'm considering to buy LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, not because I want certification, but because I want a book that goes beyond the basics. But I only want to spend a little bit of money on it. Does anyone know how much the third addition has changed from the first edition. Is it worth getting the first adition even though it was published ten years ago? [05:58] utimate edition is also not supported here ;) [05:58] clausen, I will try that out again, I haven't tried it in 10.10, I think it was 8.x that I last tried the icons on the side (before I try cario) [05:58] maybe hardware problem ? [05:58] yshi no sweat, good luck man [05:59] <[thor]> needlez: hah.. that would drive me up the wall.. looking at videos now [05:59] ny51bern_, ok now open /boot/grub/grub.cfg and paste that.. you can give me the link here :) [05:59] rs0832: haha ok [05:59] it's nice seeing what all you can do with themes and all the bloat, maybe I will leave it in a virtualbox and pick out what I like and add it to my non-virtual [06:00] Amtrask, are you sure it was shift? after a black screen for a bit it skipped to Ubuntu 10.10 mysystem tty1 [06:00] Gilos you're talking about making a virtual disk into a real OS? How do you do that? [06:00] thor: it was nice, its dead now , they actually made cairo-dock to replace it from what ive read... kinda sad... i personally liked it better then cairo-dock, but cairo's got some nice things [06:00] Gilos: yeah, instal ultamix or whatever their installer is, so you can pick and choose the bloat :) [06:00] rs0832: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547875/ [06:00] You guys recommend cairo over docky? [06:00] yshi I am pretty sure it's shift. At one point it should say "GRUB Starting..." [06:00] Is their any highly recommended packet sniffers for Ubuntu? I looked at many but havent found one i liked yet. [06:01] qazster: yes y?? [06:01] Amtrask, no, I'm saying I will pick out the items installed into the U-E "bloatware" version and then install them on my main. [06:01] ubnoob I think wireshark is the standard [06:01] hi [06:01] just wondering. i've been using docky. [06:01] Gilos ah okay [06:01] What're some perks? [06:01] shingen: Don't suggest use of Ultimatix in this channel, please. [06:01] qazster: wouldve recommend kiba-dock if it still existed or was still able to be installed...lol [06:01] ny51bern_, ok.. its done... now just check if everything is ok :)... do you have a live cd? [06:01] arg! still can't convert a dvd so it will play on an ipod. just blank. surely this should be easier [06:02] tcpdump is good packet sniffer [06:02] rs0832: yeah i do [06:02] Amtrask: I tried WireShark, it was ok [06:02] how to spy router network [06:02] needles: haha well that's a shame. [06:02] qazster: stacks, simplicity, and i could never get used to using Docky...lol [06:02] rs0832: should i boot from that? [06:02] needlez: alright! I'll give it a try [06:02] long long ago was program spy net to spy network on hub [06:02] ny51bern_, ok .. now reboot from your hd and check if it worked... if it didnt, boot into the live cd and come back to the channel :) [06:02] hi. i dont know why but just today all my video files dont show any video, just audio. i tried different media players and different formats, always black video output and only audio. any idea how to fix? i have 2 week old ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop. [06:02] Hi I was wondering is samba is compatible with Windows 7? Since I can connect, but asks me for a password - something that does not happen on any other Windows machine. [06:03] Hi, im having some trouble with postfix, I have it working in conjunction with dovecot and connection/authentication is no problem, but when sending emails from external email address to postfix they are not getting to a user. I have a FQDN, can someone help? [06:03] qazster: have you ever used Kiba-dock or heard about it?? if not google it and watch some vids it will blow your mind what it can do [06:03] <[thor]> needlez: i use a minimal setup for my cairodock, panel mode at the bottom, and a clock.. that's pretty much it. http://uppix.net/d/2/3/eeaf4c34f0a589d4a8fe0478a0ab5.png [06:03] rs0832: okay thanks so much! [06:03] ny51bern_, yyou shouldnt need to though:) [06:03] ny51bern_, youre welcome :) [06:03] rs0832: haha ill ocme back regardless [06:03] rww: you could add ultamatix as a repository too... I haven't personally done it since hardy though, but to each their own... [06:03] ur the bestttt [06:03] thanks [06:04] ny51bern_, :) [06:04] I see alot of options for packet sniffers, any of them have the same abilities as Kismac? [06:04] needlez: No I haven't I'm kinda new. Could I find an old version floating around if it's good? [06:04] shingen: You can. Doing so is not supported here, though, so don't suggest it. [06:04] thor: nice and simple...i like ... mines like OSX, but gnome icons and default setup...lol [06:04] !ultamatix | shingen [06:04] shingen: Ultamatix is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. Use of this software may cause damage to your Ubuntu install. Do not suggest its use in this channel. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/99905.html and !automatix for more info. [06:04] also, [06:04] !derivatives [06:04] 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) [06:04] qazster: wont work libglitz1 got removed from synaptic and i havent found anyway to reload it... sorries [06:04] (adding repositories from derivatives has the same issue) [06:04] hello [06:05] rww: gotcha... how about xubuntu and lubuntu? :) [06:05] shingen: Xubuntu is officially supported here and in #xubuntu. Lubuntu's in some sort of weird gray area as far as officialness goes, but it's fine in #lubuntu and generally fine here too. [06:05] I am using ubuntu 10.10 on my dell N5010. It is fresh installation but i am not able to use wireless [06:06] Hi, im having some trouble with postfix, I have it working in conjunction with dovecot and connection/authentication is no problem, but when sending emails from external email address to postfix they are not getting to a user. I have a FQDN, can someone help? [06:07] dubey: chipset ?? [06:07] rs0832: when i booted, windows xp was highlighted as default :) [06:07] dubey, i find with every laptop ive tried that had wireless issues if you lan in and check the Additional Drivers there is a proprietary driver that makes wireless work [06:07] intel [06:07] ny51bern_, great :) [06:07] hi. i dont know why but just today all my video files dont show any video, just audio. i tried different media players and different formats, always black video output and only audio. any idea how to fix? i have 2 week old ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop. [06:08] rs0832: sweet. you totally made my day lol. sorry for bothering u tho ;) [06:08] dubey: lspci -nnk from terminal and pm with result so i can see what it shows if anything [06:08] dubey : intel what??

[06:09] what does ubunto use for package management? [06:09] ny51bern_, y/w :) [06:09] dubey : which wifi adapter ??? [06:09] How can you broadcast a network share (ftp/sftp/webdav) so that it shows up in nautilus for other users?? [06:10] http://pastebin.com/PJfiwpbY [06:10] dubey : u seems to be having BCM [06:10] vantage, natively it uses Synaptic [06:10] vantage: dpkg, though you probably want to use a frontend like apt-get, synaptic, Software Centre, etc. [06:10] Hi... [06:10] hblount, not a ubuntu export, but check this out.. sounds like a codec issue. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat.html [06:11] sirshmoopy. it uses binarys? and handles on the dependencies? [06:11] hello everybody [06:11] I can't boot the 10.10 alt. installer OR live disc, ubuntu or xubuntu. The screen simply goes blank and never comes back on. I have tried nomodeset and xforcevesa and vga=771 to no avail. The weird thing is 10.04 works fine (but doesn't support my wireless card). Any ideas? === Jason is now known as Guest75494 [06:12] dubey : try installing BCM driver from repo [06:12] Gilos: thanks i'm checking it out [06:12] hey jason === al3x is now known as Guest79562 [06:12] Amtrask: nvidia card? [06:12] Hi, can someone tell me which part of post fix I need to configure to translate email addresses? e.g. username@mydomain.com goes to username@localhost ? [06:12] sidd_mak : what will be the name of driver ? [06:13] AdrenaliN1983: try asking in #postfix [06:13] vantage, yeah apt-get is a cli client, synaptic is a gui, both handle all that. (<-rather new here) [06:13] Thanks :) [06:13] Gilos: i dont know about that because all my video files were working yesterday [06:13] Alberto no actually an ATI something or other. It's this laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214022 . I think it may have to do with the video sharing memory with the system, but only "sometimes" [06:13] Amtrask: ok...no clue then. Sorry [06:13] AlbertoP well thanks anyway :) [06:14] dubey : try searching b341 or something like lppy [06:14] hblount, usually when you have audio and no video it's a codec issue. So then what changes did you make since yesterday? [06:14] Sirshmoopy didnt they use to use or maybe still do ... use apt-get for slackware [06:15] vantage, not sure, i havent used slackware yet [06:15] Gilos: nothing that i know of :P maybe i just have to reinstall and it will magically work like it magically broke [06:15] sirshmoopy well thanks for the response. :x [06:15] hblount, have you even tried rebooting? I know it's not windows but.......... :p [06:16] Cilos.... wow... [06:16] Gilos: i'll try right now, but i dont think so because i just turned on my laptop. brb [06:16] dubey : there is prob in 10.10 for BCM4313 [06:17] slackware originally was a tarball distro... pkgtool came about in slackware 10 [06:17] I'm trying to get a drive I just partitioned to ext4 to automount, but for some reason, pysdm is being unhelpful. It's giving me data about the drives that I'm sure is incorrect (saying they're ext2) and telling me that sda1 is mounted to sdb1. That can't be right. Any idea what could be wrong? [06:17] vantage: I don't think so, no. === SirShmoopy is now known as yshi [06:20] I can't boot the 10.10 alt. installer OR live disc, ubuntu or xubuntu. The screen simply goes blank and never comes back on. I have tried nomodeset and xforcevesa and vga=771 to no avail. The weird thing is 10.04 works fine (but doesn't support my wireless card). Any ideas? [06:21] I have a USB flash drive which won't mount or format with disk utility or gparted. Is it useless or is there a way to format it? [06:22] hi. yesterday my video's were working fine but today it only shows black video display and only audio works. i installed ubuntu 10.10 2 weeks ago on this laptop. can anyone help? [06:22] i tried different media players and different video formats all same black screen only audio === dannyLopez is now known as Z3R0-F15H === brendan_ is now known as Guest47079 [06:22] hblount, just a suggestion - did you try winff [06:23] rs0832, whats that [06:23] Hi I am having trouble with Ubuntu 10.10 and an atheros ar5007 Wlan card. [06:23] hello [06:23] hblount, a player/converter that does just about every format [06:23] I just cannot get it to turn on. [06:23] wyclif, hi [06:24] wyclif, :) [06:24] hello [06:24] rs0832: oh hey [06:25] rs0832: we're snowed in so might as well hang out in support [06:25] hblount, if it works then it is probably something with your installed codecs and stuff [06:25] wyclif, oh :) [06:26] I've got what's probably an easy problem to fix. I'm trying to install ubuntu-netbook 10.10 on my wife's Toshiba NB305. I already removed windows from the hard drive, and attempted to install via USB drive twice, it kept hanging up. I'm currently attempting installation with a CD, and it appears to be faring no better. I can follow directions well, but my linux knowledge is only basic. [06:26] I decided to start using tmux instead of screen [06:26] oR [06:27] Guest75494 Where are you in the install right now? [06:27] hi royale1223 [06:27] hblount, do you have a live CD/DVD that you can boot to and see if you can view your files? [06:27] hello, i'm trying to install vuze and i'm having difficulty. i'm pretty sure i have to install jre first, but i'm not sure how to do that. i have the file downloaded [06:27] It won't even let me create a partition table. Does this mean the USB drive is bad? It won't mount/format on a Mac computer either... [06:27] Random Question, My wireless randomly stops sometimes, but it'll start right back. Not a problem, just a nuisance when I try to browse the net [06:28] black screen, says "Ubuntu 10.10" over 4 dots, slightly up and left of center. Every now and then the dots cycle color, but its really slow going [06:28] Guest47079, dont install from a file ... use synaptic [06:28] Guest47079, install sun-java6-* (* = plugin, jre, bin, fonts) [06:28] Guest75494: system will not boot now? [06:28] Gilos, good idea. im gonna try winff first real quick. thanks [06:29] Guest47079, I have never had luck with the package from there site. Try googiling Vuze for Ubuntu. [06:29] hblount try the live CD and if it works I would try that original link I sent to reinstall your codecs, or mplayer or vlc which have all the codecs built in. [06:30] hblount good luck. bed time for me. [06:30] wyclif, should I turn the computer off with the power button? I just hit enter and the cd drive went nuts, but the dots are cycling considerably faster now. [06:30] Gilos, sounds good thanks maaaaan [06:30] Guest47079: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [06:30] how do you get tmux to split screen vertically? I thought it was Ctrl-B but was wrong...heh [06:30] I'm using 10.10 [06:30] I mistakenly set this bug to Fix Released: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/455067 [06:30] is my USb drive dead or do I just not know how to fix it? [06:30] Can anyone change it back to in progress? [06:31] Guest75494: yes, a hard reboot would probably reveal a lot [06:31] will do [06:31] Need help withAR5007 wlan card. [06:31] Guest75494: note any error msgs it gives [06:31] Guest47079: just use the 'vuze' package that's in the repositories already? [06:32] brb [06:32] I didn't even think to check that. I've hit install, waiting to see what happens. [06:33] Yuhong: Try asking in #ubuntu-bugs. It's something that normal users (and normal Ubuntu Members, apparently) can't do. [06:33] how many ppl on here have their kernel image at 2.6.35-24 and have a working wifi connection with a built in realtek or bcm card?? === Z3R0-F15H is now known as dannyLopez [06:34] needlez, do you have a problem with a kernel update? [06:34] Yuhong: Try asking in #ubuntu-bugs. [06:34] I did. [06:34] I just did. [06:34] Jordan_U is slow ;P [06:34] * Jordan_U curses ssh lag. [06:35] rs0832: yes if I update to the -24 kernel it eats my wifi connection. Im at -23 right now cuz of this issue also -24 would return with the -1 channel issue for aircrack-ng which I had already patched in -23... just wondering how many ppl also have these issues or if just me [06:35] 第一次进入聊天室。。 [06:35] !cn | babyelephant [06:35] babyelephant: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:36] needlez: I got cairo! it's nice, better than docky I think. Any themes you recommend? [06:36] rs0832: also confirmed with 4 other ppl that they lost wifi connection once they did the update, they had bcm cards, i have a realtek card [06:36] I can't boot the 10.10 alt. installer OR live disc, ubuntu or xubuntu. The screen simply goes blank and never comes back on. I have tried nomodeset and xforcevesa and vga=771 to no avail. The weird thing is 10.04 works fine (but doesn't support my wireless card). Running an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4250 Any ideas? [06:36] qazster: i just have mine set to default [06:36] needlez, which ubuntu are you using? [06:37] qazster: their used to be one to look like I phone... but it got pulled not sure why [06:37] rs0832: all using ubuntu 10.10 [06:37] wyclif, sitting at Ubuntu over 5 dots, centered on screen this time, appears to be doing nothing. Unless I push a button (happened by accident), then one of the dots cycles color [06:37] hey [06:37] i need some help [06:37] hello,all [06:37] TBruff13:What's the problem? [06:38] every time i start xterm my friends list is gone and it asks me to reenter my info [06:38] xchat sorry [06:38] rs0832: was wondering if this could be a bug?? not sure [06:38] needlez, try installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic [06:38] when i install a software in ubuntu server,then tell me libmysqlclient16 is error? [06:38] still [06:38] here [06:39] ignore this [06:39] needlez, i helped someone else fix a simalar bug yesterday with a wireless conn. and this did the trick [06:39] hello [06:39] I just reinstalled wireshark, does anyone know what this means- "On Linux, you need to have "packet socket" support enabled in your kernel; see the "Packet socket" item in the Linux "Configure.help" file. Your distribution might enable this by default in the kernel. [06:40] thanx rs0832: but my other thing is i will still get the -1 channel if running aircrack-ng won't i??? do you know if this fixes that issue?? if not im happy running -23 [06:41] ubnoob: I have no idea, but I do know that wireshark needs sudo privileges (run e.g. gksudo wireshark) to do packet capture. [06:41] ubnoob: with that, it all works fine for me. [06:41] needlez, sorry but i am unsure about that [06:41] #erlang [06:41] so i just got netflix like an idiot and didn't realize until after u can't run it on linux is this true? anybody know? [06:42] I remember reading something about this and it just hit me [06:42] klb_ netflix detects your browser tags and doesn't stream to Linux browsers [06:42] klb_: correct, you can't do instant watch on Linux [06:42] Is netflix really OS specific? [06:42] yeah the only way to do it is through virtual boxing it [06:42] that sucks [06:42] klb_ but you might be able to run a VM with windows *shrug* [06:42] I'd try user agent spoofing [06:42] I don't mind companies only catering to windows...as much [06:42] as I do companies going out of their way to NOT support anything else [06:43] how do I tell if I am running a 64 bit firefox? [06:43] yeah it uses the silverlight platform if i remember right [06:43] rs0832: also just confirmed by 5th person reverted back to -22 and installed b43fwcutter and lpphyinstaller and removed bcmwl-kernel-source fixes the issue with bcm chipsets and wifi error... -24 broke support for bcm chipsets totally no fix as of right now except reverts [06:43] shapeshifter: strace it and check for 64 bit addresses? [06:43] Amtrask, Some_Person, klb_: It relies on Digital Rights Management components of Silverlight that aren't available on Linux (even with Moonlight or whatever it's called). User agent spoofing won't work. [06:43] shentino I'll give Netflix the benefit of the doubt and say they probably don't specifically DENY Linux as not support it *shrug* [06:43] what is this thing called moonlight says its compatiable with silverlight [06:43] There is moonlight witch is for Linux [06:43] rww: Well, then I won't be getting Netflix any time soon [06:43] i downloaded it now and didn't work [06:43] shentino, how?> [06:43] Moonlight won't make Netflix work. [06:43] Yeah it is a silverlight clone [06:44] I don't know the exact syntax [06:44] rs0832: seems -24 wants to install the wrong bcm drivers for the bcm4313 ... and bcm4312 [06:44] This is a rather common topic in here. You won't get Netflix instant watch on a PC without OS X or Windows being involved. [06:44] and doesn't work that blows so bad [06:44] please help me [06:44] these two cards [06:44] (assuming it still supports OS X, anyway) [06:44] shentino, can you help on a more noobish linux level? [06:44] needlez, ah ok.. [06:44] lolz [06:44] god damn it [06:44] thanks for ur help guys [06:44] this is an expert method, but I would try reading the strace man page and looking for how to attach it to an existing PID [06:44] sorry for cussing [06:44] then find out what PID firefox is using [06:45] kinda [06:46] rww: it works now when i use terminal, although it says that it could be dangerous running it as root. [06:47] rww, I heard that OS X is linux based so it might work some how. [06:47] Anyone know why an AMD Radeon Mobility HD 4250 would not let me run any form of 10.10? [06:47] Lonewulf: It's not, and it doesn't. [06:47] guys, anyone know why dbus-daemon would be taking so much ram? just noticed it's currently using 0.8Gb [06:47] mri chamocon el irc de konverstaion puedo ocultar la ip [06:47] ubnoob: Yeah, running stuff as root isn't the safest thing. It's needed for the packet capturing stuff Wireshark does, though, so... [06:48] Some_Person: That's a stance I can respect. I have a Wii and a set-top box that both do Instant Watch, though :| [06:48] qazster: ?? [06:48] sorry [06:48] accident [06:48] lo siento [06:48] nhandler: ocultame la ip [06:48] rww: My HTPC runs Windows :| [06:48] please nhandler ocultame la ip [06:48] Any one Know the AR5007 card [06:49] rww I agree, but unfortunately I feel like it's really Netflix that gets the short end of the stick here. Production companies force the DRM on them [06:49] rww: what precautions should i use to be safe? [06:49] wificrack: English here. #ubuntu-es for Spanish, #ubuntu-br for Portuguese (I'm not sure which you're using.). [06:49] hi. yesterday my video's were working fine but today it only shows black video display and only audio works. i tried different media players and different video formats all same black screen only audio. i installed ubuntu 10.10 2 weeks ago on this laptop. can anyone help? [06:50] hblount, i take it winff didnt work either? :) [06:50] ubnoob: Don't do anything stupid like saving capture files to /etc/passwd or whatever ;) [06:50] hello [06:50] rs0832, nope : ( [06:50] ubnoob just realize that while running the program with sudo it can modify any file or setting on your system. Just be careful [06:50] rww: ok i won't, thanks [06:51] I am having a black screen issue when I start my computer [06:51] Amtrask: I know. There's a decent argument to be made that they should be boycotted anyway so that they'll put more pressure on production companies. [06:51] hblount, did you do any installs/upgrades? [06:51] Amtrask: thanks [06:51] rs0832: posted my fix to ubuntu forums under a previous thread... but will also post as new thread for fixes... [06:52] needlez, k thats good [06:52] rww I think Netflix is already the target of production company ire since their profits are ridiculous. They don't have to deal with FCC or broadcasting of any kind, they have pretty low overhead (compared to, say, NBC). Offtopic, sorry, I'll knock it off :P [06:52] I wonder if someone could assist me in helping my blackscreen issue, I've started reading: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen#Analysis Techniques [06:52] but need some more help [06:52] Amtrask: Yeah, was about to suggest we move to #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [06:52] rs0832, i only updated ubuntu once right after i first installed 2 weeks ago. videos were working fine yesterday though :P [06:53] Guest19844, when are you getting the screen a live cd or install [06:53] Install [06:53] I installed Ubuntu today [06:53] hblount, do flash videos work? [06:53] Guest19844, booting the cd [06:53] rs0832, nope :( [06:53] Put in the CD you're saying? [06:54] hblount, do this - gksudo totem (in terminal) [06:54] Hi gurus, I need help to find out which program using my port #555. http://dpaste.de/nXW5/ [06:54] chinosuke: run that with sudo in front of it, it should give program names [06:54] does anyone know if you can play say an mkv video with a separate mp3 with vlc? [06:55] hblount, and when totem player starts up, leave the terminal open, and try playing a file.. if you see any output in the terminal, paste it [06:55] rs0832, flash works when i stream online vids [06:55] yshi: usually you need the stream embedded in the mkv [06:55] Hey guys and gals, I need a hand. I'm trying to install ubuntu-netbook 10.10 on my wife's netbook (Toshiba NB305). I wiped windows off her hard drive already, and tried to install via usb twice. Both times it took forever. Acted like it just stopped unless I hit a button. I was never able to get past the setup screens. Just tried with a CD this time, still no bueno. I'm a beginner with... [06:55] dont know if that matters [06:55] ...linux, unfortunately. [06:55] yshi: but, you can try "Advanced Open" adn see if there's an option [06:55] I have a partition for my dropbox account and I want to make links from everything in /dropbox/Dropbox in my home folder (overwriting existing files). How do I do that? [06:55] hey [06:55] Guest19844, no I was reading as the install boot cd. so if you poweron the computer hold down the shift to get the grub mrnu. Hit e for edit use the arrow keys to navigate to just before quiet splash put in nomodeset hold down crtlthe hit x to boot [06:55] hblount, hmm.. it should [06:55] potat0, can you have more than one audio stream in an mkv> [06:55] hblount, it means something is not installed properly [06:56] rww: Thanks [06:56] yshi: yes [06:56] i hav a problem wit my windows [06:56] ???????????

How do I do that? [07:00] Disregard my previous question. New one: Ubuntu should boot and function considerably faster than win7, right? I used to have ubuntu on a desktop several years ago, and it definitely outperformed windows then. [07:00] I tried ln -s -f /dropbox/Dropbox/* /home/bob/* [07:01] ubuntu is really easy [07:01] rs0832, nothing in terminal :( [07:01] and beautiful [07:01] hblount, hmm did you try a restart?

[07:05] Nevermind, figured it out. ln -s /dropbox/Dropbox/* /home/bob (didn't need the last /*, but I though I already tried that) [07:05] Thanks. [07:05] hblount, wait , type this in a terminal without the quotes - 'gstreamer-properties' [07:05] needlez, i am having problem with black/dark video output and only sound working when i try to play videos of any format with different media players [07:06] yep.. this USb drive is definitely dead.

[09:09] Goddard: yes it is because if you remove plymouth package system breaks... if you don't remove those two though plymouth doesn't run anymore... its strange... I did this because I couldn't change how plymouth looked and because Grub2 made it easier to understand what I was booting into image wise which helped with a few issues... like the 2.6.35-24 kernel which I believe is bugged really bad...if you like this fix let me know [09:09] and Im looking for a way to undo it so you can revert... I think if you reinstall ubuntu-desktop it would reinstall plymouth again but not too sure [09:09] rs0832 installing Teamveiwer and Osmos [09:09] technikfreak, each platform has of course it's own installation process, but i had no problems installing it on Ubuntu via .deb [09:09] Colin969_, k [09:11] Ormie: Have you tried these packages: xscreensaver-gl-extra xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-screensaver-webcollage xscreensaver-gl ?

[09:39] Hello!!! Does anyone have some advice for getting Multitouch to work on an HP Envy??? [09:39] how do i set dhclient to start at bootup? [09:39] * satori starting to wish he stuck with portage [09:39] n-iCe: when you reboot hold shift and go to any image before -24... that way you don't have to worry bout that buggy kernel [09:40] Jerusalem420: dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local [09:40] Jerusalem420: chkconfig dhcpd on [09:40] as you wish [09:41] needlez, http://paste.ubuntu.com/547891/ [09:43] needlez, did you get it? [09:44] yes copied [09:44] anyone yet?! I am really desperate here. I've been fighting with this for a month or so [09:45] and all my attemps lead to a deadlock [09:45] rs0832: now enter into python console?? or what?? [09:46] yes [09:48] python returned with this [09:48] rs0832: Traceback (most recent call last): [09:48] File "/usr/lib/totem/plugins/pythonconsole/console.py", line 279, in __run [09:48] exec command in self.namespace [09:48] File "", line 5 [09:48] if totem_object.is_playing==True [09:48] needlez: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:48] ^ [09:48] i thnk u should pastebin:[ [09:48] :p* [09:49] nasad: what do you mean with detect [09:49] ;pastebin [09:49] would somebody please expaline to me what this FloodBot is trying to warn us about? [09:49] Which are the most functional ATI drivers atm? I got a fresh ubuntu install and fglrx is not on it, should I install it? [09:50] rs0832: http://paste.ubuntu.com/547893/ [09:50] rs0832: got that from python [09:51] needlez, ok hold on [09:51] rs0832: kk [09:51] how do i set dhclient to start at bootup? [09:52] satori: It's about needlez posting 5 lines in concession; which is also called flooding. Hence if he's got a problem which can't be posted in a single or max two lines (or results from a query the, he should use pastebin to post te question/results. [09:52] anybody home? [09:53] needlez, http://paste.ubuntu.com/547894/ [09:53] satori: Flooding is when you paste many lines of text into the channel. If it weren't for the FloodBot then people might paste entire long log files into the channel, making up most of the lines of text in the channel with this flood. As it is, floodbot instead detects when someone is flooding, tells them to use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com next time, and quiets them so their comments can't be seen in the channel until they've stopped flooding. [09:53] Ryu_Kurisu: so to paste a direct error message we have to go through a web interface? [09:53] Thank you Jordan, I'm famaliar with flooding [09:53] satori, no its like we tell you to see a web page [09:54] satori: As you can see, this IRC goes fast enough as it is. Hence flooding is not liked, so yes. :) [09:54] satori, here to avoid flooding, we paste long errors and outputs to a webpage and give someone the link [09:54] yeah, I can see that [09:54] seems frustrating, but I can see the need [09:54] thx [09:55] pretty please, how do i configure dhclient to start at bootup? [09:55] didn't realize it would flood for 5 lines..lol ... just pastebin more often i guess...lol [09:55] needlez, got the updated one? [09:56] rs0832: yea and python greyed out and totem no response and fans at max now [09:56] Jerusalem420: It should already start by default, unless you've configured the interface for a static ip address instead. [09:56] needlez, :) [09:56] nasad: have you tried gparted and checked if your new drives shows up there? or a "sudo fdisk -l" [09:56] needlez, k kill and restart it [09:57] Jerusalem420: What problem are you having specifically? How have you tried to configure networking? Wireless or wired? [09:57] needlez, will check again [09:57] rs0832: kk killed tryin again [09:57] Hello [09:58] jordan, before i was using pppoe to connect, got a voip phone, needed to use dhc instead. so i just disabled the pppoe and typed dhclient into the command line [09:58] that works, [09:58] but it doesn't start by itself [09:58] are there any free services available online that i could have <1gb of space and run something? i want to use mencoder [09:58] everything is wired [09:59] needlez, i shouldnt have put the loop so long [09:59] ok [09:59] needlez, i didnt think it would run completely..

[10:34] needlez, k you can try getting someone at #python to make changes to and fix the script [10:34] Colin969, just wine [10:34] rs0832 Huh? Wine 1.2? [10:35] Colin969, yes [10:35] I saw a trailer for that movie TRON (the sequel). I was wondering if, inside my computer, there's a civilization that enjoys war as masochism like early Rome... or if it's somewhat peaceful but dangerous like the show REBOOT? [10:36] Hello, how can i do cp -ua without deleting the file dates? [10:36] skypent, yes [10:36] I knew it. [10:36] Sanky: deleting? [10:37] a is supposed to keep the last change dates, but u resets them to the current time. [10:37] Sanky: look into the -p plag if you want to preserve dates. [10:37] rs0832, WHy is Ubuntu so epic? [10:37] Colin969, epic? [10:37] SwedeMike, according to man: -a, --archive \same as -dR --preserve=all [10:38] rs0832, Harsh to use, But I guess that User friendly wasnt at the top of the list [10:38] firefox is not playing .mov files [10:38] how can i get firefox to play .mov files [10:39] Colin969, ah :) [10:39] Sanky: then I guess -u overrides that and you're screwed. [10:39] RobotCow, try using totem [10:39] SwedeMike, yes, it does. Am i really screwed? D: [10:39] How do I download some RAM from the repository? [10:39] RobotCow, and you;ll probably need codecs [10:39] skypent, RAM? [10:39] Yes, Random Access Memory. [10:40] skypent, RAM is in your cpu [10:40] skypent is a joker [10:40] someone get a rope [10:40] skypent, it is hardware not software [10:40] :l [10:40] Colin969, great! [10:40] get a rope? did you make a funny? [10:41] rs0832, i did try opening it in totem and it gave me a gstreamer error [10:41] Colin969, after needlez leaves, i figure out how to write the plugin for him! [10:41] mplayer plays sound but no video [10:41] RobotCow, can you pastebin the error? [10:41] rs0832, huh? [10:41] about to try vlc [10:42] Colin969, i was writing a totem plugin for needlez [10:42] vlc will cause more problems [10:42] rs0832, Oh does Wine just add extra supported extentions? [10:42] Colin969, i couldn;t figure it out then, but after he left, i did [10:42] your better off using a gtk based application [10:42] Colin969, extensions? nope [10:42] Also whats Totem? [10:42] Colin969, it emulates windows [10:42] Something weird has happened to Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop! http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7780/screenshotii.png [10:43] rs0832, Same thing? Lul [10:43] Colin969, the movie player.. defauly with ubuntu [10:43] why is my file browser thingy appearing like that [10:43] ? [10:43] @Colin969: totem is the video player [10:43] media player [10:43] everything for fine the last time i used my laptop [10:43] yayol, you shouldnt put an @ before [10:43] I'm sacred, could i have a virus or something [10:44] MadCarburetor, click the customize button in the picture [10:44] totem is a bad word. don't use that language in here. [10:44] RobotCow, totem ? it's the name of the default ubuntu movie player [10:44] hi [10:44] clicked. now what? [10:44] is there anybody capable of helping with HDD CLoning in Ubuntu? [10:44] its not only a movie player [10:44] MadCarburetor, why would someone make a virus that makes the file browser pop-up? [10:44] MadCarburetor, don't panic [10:45] MadCarburetor, select a different theme there [10:45] ubuntu-clone-tes, partimage and dd [10:45] i opened the file browser. but it looks like it's from windows 98 [10:45] @colin, funny? [10:45] File Browser has themes? [10:45] MadCarburetor, it is just a stupid bug that will be resolved upon restart [10:45] @RobotCow, Partimage? [10:45] Colin969, not exactly the filebrowser [10:45] MadCarburetor, it sometimes happens to me too [10:45] rs0832, Is Wine an App orsomin alltogether diff [10:46] Colin969, most programs on an os use a 'gui toolkit' so all their windows look the same [10:46] @RobotCow, I did follow this guide: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/152592 [10:46] I just changed my theme to clearlooks, but the file browser still window still looks the same [10:46] Colin969, it is an app [10:46] ubuntu-clone-tes, yes http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage [10:46] rs0832, Good, Also im gonna try using terminal and launching the SH [10:46] And ended up with this situation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10283564#post10283564 [10:46] Colin969, k [10:47] ubuntu-clone-tes, Using dd to clone a hard disk to another hard disk: [10:47] dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1 bs=1M conv=noerror [10:47] ok, i'll try restarting [10:47] thanks [10:47] rs0832 Yay its verifying [10:47] Colin969, gotta go... be back later [10:47] hi can anyone help me with installing with text-mode installer? [10:47] rs0832, Its working =] [10:47] Colin969, good luck :) [10:48] rs0832 Ok, how long? [10:48] Colin969, oh thats great :) [10:48] Colin969, hmm.. no idea actually [10:48] rs0832 Ill use the IM Ubuntu has for teh IRC [10:48] Colin969, ?? [10:48] rs0832, you can set a Username and Channel [10:49] Colin969, o.0 [10:49] rs0832, It should work, Works like adding an account [10:49] Colin969, ah ok [10:49] Colin969, bye then.. [10:49] Hi there! Just trying to get flash working on xubuntu 10.4... but it runs REALLY slow. Linux mint 8 runs it faster! I have a good machine (2gb ram dual core good graphics) how can i get fullscreen flash smooth? [10:49] rs0832 come back soon =D [10:49] ddalton, sure, i use it for the raid feature [10:50] Colin969, :) [10:50] ubuntu, Im no pro, But dont you need a good Internet connection too? [10:51] yeah i've got a great internet connection [10:51] i'm running off a usb stick... if that makes a difference [10:51] RobotCow: how do i activate the text mode installer when booting the alternate cd? [10:52] ubuntu, it def will [10:52] i see language selection hit enter, then install ubuntu and after that it drops me into the installation, but i don't think its text mode [10:52] ddalton, it should activate on its own. there's no gui on that cd [10:52] ubuntu, I Mean, As I said Im no pro, But the Stick hardly does much for itself [10:52] colin969 thanks colin ... maybe i'll just wait till i get a good install [10:54] ddalton, its using ncurses interface. thats considered a text based installer. [10:54] Does Linux have a way to end proccesses? I put the wrong admin pass in and the installer has died [10:55] Huh? [10:55] Colin969, kill, pkill, killall, and some others with kill in their names [10:56] Soin this case kill Gtk [10:56] Colin969, also run top from the command line and hit "k" === l is now known as Guest90334 [10:56] Run from top? [10:57] RobotCow: oh really? my braille display says "screen not in text-mode" any idea how i can determine if im actually using the alternate installer? [10:57] Colin969, run top from the command line and then hit k [10:57] I dont get you... [10:57] ddalton, it should look like this ... hold on, ill find a video i know on youtube [10:58] Nvm Ill RE-log [10:58] Colin969, did you try it? [10:58] RobotCow: don't bother, I'm blind. [10:59] RobotCow: i thought i could mount the disk and check some specific file. [10:59] ddalton, oh, in that case, the ncurses interface may not be best for you [10:59] how big is the cd, could you give me a direct link so i know i got the right file. cos i dunno why it aint working. [11:00] ddalton, direct link to alternate installer? you want 32 or 64bit? [11:00] RobotCow: ncurses should be ok -- the display shouldn't be saying "screen not in text-mode", but what are the other options? [11:00] 32 bit [11:00] RobotCow, I read the link u gave me, but I do not understand - What to do after I have made that Image File? [11:00] RobotCow, Why does installing something use the account pass butinstalling it out of the centre require another? [11:00] ddalton, i have a blind friend that has used linux. he may know the answer. [11:01] what the min of these (dpkg -l |grep kde) [11:01] ddalton, are you dual booting? have you tried installing wubi in windows. that should work with your screen reader. [11:02] ??? [11:02] RobotCow: I run debian currently and am trying to install ubuntu to a specific partition so i have win ubuntu and debian all tripple booting i suppose [11:02] "what the min" [11:02] doesn't make sense [11:02] so i'm reasonably familiar with linux [11:02] ubuntu-clone-tes, restore it on another computer you want to clone the ubuntu installation to [11:02] Colin969, are you talking about the ubuntu software center? [11:03] any one can help me out [11:03] ? [11:03] ask [11:03] but this installer saying "screen not in text mode" indicating the installer is grapical is shitting me. the screen not in text mode occurs when switching into gnome... so something is screwed up [11:03] RobotCow, I want to clone one Ubuntu installation into my new HDD [11:03] ubuntu-clone-tes: just dd off the disk [11:03] is there any way to restore ubuntu like windows [11:04] So the idea is what - simply vreate Image File and then in same LiveCD mode restore it to new ( target ) HDD ? [11:04] juniour: we can fix whatevers needed so there is no use of a restore that way [11:04] juniour: what is wrong? [11:04] ubuntu-clone-tes: once you have the images you can clone _exactly_ as it was [11:04] k [11:04] of course you may need to edit grub a bit [11:05] yeah, it may be .. [11:05] ddalton, i wasn't suggesting wubi because of your linux ability. i was suggesting it because you can use a screen reader in windows to install it. [11:05] RobotCow: mmmm i just kept windows installed on the machine no screenreader in there though [11:06] OK, anyway, now trying to make that backup file ... still, I am a bit puzzled - where would that Image File have been created in Partimage? [11:06] ubuntu-clone-tes, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=dd+clone+hard+drive&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [11:06] i'm certain though u can use braille to install the alternate disk [11:06] http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/8225-clone-your-ubuntu-installation-onto-a-new-hard-disk [11:06] google first result [11:06] if I specify path like "/backup/sdb1partimage" I have error when Partimage starts the creation process [11:06] someone please add "google.com" into the channel topic, thanks [11:07] ddalton, getting you the iso link now or do you want an md5 so you can check it against the one you've got? [11:07] RobotCow: so i'm just concerned that either for some reason i have a screwed up image and its not actually a text installer, or maybe i'm not starting braille properly, i dunno. [11:07] RobotCow: um, i think the iso link would be handy. thanks:) [11:07] @potat0, taje a look at my ubuntuforms thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10283564#post10283564 [11:09] ddalton, http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso [11:09] thanks!:) [11:09] ddalton, you're welcome [11:09] ubuntu-clone-tes: you didn't lose any disk space [11:10] you may have messed up the disk though [11:10] dd command is kinda dangerous [11:10] grreeaattt .. [11:10] I have hdd for one day and already screded it [11:10] did it have any important data? [11:10] no [11:10] totally new hdd [11:10] then just create a new partition table [11:10] did it [11:11] RobotCow: thanks mate, think that's the one i had so your sure that there is nothing special to do to get a "text-based" installer? [11:11] ubuntu-clone-tes, http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#System_Rescue_and_Cloning_Utilities [11:11] make an ext3/whatever fs on it [11:11] and did all variantions with gparted and palimpest .. [11:11] hmm [11:11] amd then? [11:11] hi there [11:11] ddalton, i dont think text in ncurses can be read by a screen reader. ncurses is sort of like a gui. [11:12] RobotCow: mmm ncurses should be ok. isn't mutt ncurses? [11:12] ubuntu-clone-tes: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/22/how-to-clone-your-bootable-ubuntu-install-to-another-drive/ [11:13] just in case, make sure that the fs of both disks are the same [11:13] don't know how important that is, someone confirm. [11:13] hi guys [11:13] I have a pretty easy question [11:13] how can I remove the default motd from ubuntu 10.10? [11:14] I cleared /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail but no luck [11:14] ubuntu-clone-tes, have you tried "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=harddriveclone.img [11:14] " [11:14] Anyone using moblock before? [11:14] no [11:14] no, potat0 [11:15] RobotCow: tafter this command I can use Partimage to restore Ubuntu to new hdd? [11:15] i need some help ... i am very familiar with Linux, one our customer has a ubuntu as a workstation but he has not - with his new display - detected correct resolution ... i can't to connect to him to fix it, so i told him, to add output from `cvt 1920 1080 60` to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/$n-monitor.conf .. he replied, that even etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ doesn't exist, so i encouraged him to create that and also that file and put it inbetween Section "Default Monitor" [11:16] how can I remove the default motd? [11:16] Waaah, I think I will simply install 10.10 on the HDD .. [11:17] ubuntu-clone-tes, no, thats another way of doing it rather than using partimage. to restore it, you'd run "sudo dd if=harddriveclone.img of=/dev/sda" just switching the if and of (input and output) [11:18] RobotCow: if I am now running PC using LiveCD, where this .img file will be placed? [11:18] RobotCow, he could do it right away dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda2 bs=1M conv=noerror [11:18] In /home dir? [11:18] i have a huawei mobile connect usb wireless broadband modem. How do you connect this thing in ubuntu? [11:18] w/o doing the img, if he has both hard drives connected. [11:18] plug and play [11:19] TMKCodes: yes, I have them both connected now [11:19] ubuntu-clone-tes, don't do that on a live cd. where are you trying to put the file? you can send it across the network if you pipe the output to nc (netcat) [11:19] both are SATA .. [11:19] exxtreme, such on google. There are quite helpful tutes there which due to space one may not be able to explain here. [11:19] OK, so, what is the plan? [11:19] dd if=/dev/harddrive1 of=/dev/harddrive2 bs=1M conv=noerror [11:19] 1. Bott to desktop ; [11:19] clones the hard drive to another hard drive [11:19] exec this command [11:20] 2. exec this command [11:20] 3. exec same command [11:20] exxtreme, sorry, I meant search not such :) [11:20] Anybody know where i can download the o reilly xml schema book instead of viewing it online here: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/xml/schema/ch07_08.htm ? [11:20] 4. update grub ??? [11:20] marvindoppelt: been there, done that. Also downloaded gnome-ppp and tried network manager. still couldn't get a connection. [11:20] Diamondcite, #bookz on UnderNet probably [11:21] exxtreme, which version of Ubuntu do you have?

[11:21] Hi guys. I have 3 machines at home, all running ubuntu. dns lookups seem to very extremely slow. the router does some kind of dns masquarading. should i be looking at potential config problems on the router, or all the ubuntu boxes? [11:22] exxtreme, kernel? [11:23] cambazz: 1. make a full backup, 2. what version of ubuntu does you server run? [11:23] @TMKCodes_: " dd if=/dev/harddrive1 of=/dev/harddrive2 bs=1M conv=noerror" command /dev/ means to use Partition ( sdb1 ), not Device (sdb ) ? [11:23] how can i disable firewall on ubuntu 10.4 (but no with command line)? plz help [11:23] Relative to rooting a box, what is considered a box in that statement? [11:23] willemb, try using opendns free dns servers === Look is now known as Guest4167 [11:24] RobotCow: on the individual machines, or as the upstream provider for the service provided on the router? [11:24] hale, install gufw and you'll find it in the System>Admin menu [11:24] i need help with evolution [11:24] marvindoppelt: i'm using the artistx remaster of karmic. kernel 2.6.31 [11:24] is there any s/w like photoshop in ubuntu? [11:24] i cant copy evolution contacts [11:24] skypent, a computer is a box [11:25] amit: gimp. and i think there is a gimpshop add-on to make the shortcuts and controls behave in a familiar fashion [11:25] Thankyou. [11:25] willemb, either or [11:25] May I ask what the verb "rooting" is? [11:26] the lastest version of ubuntu play well with huawei wireless? [11:26] amit, gimp is like photoshop. ubuntu stopped including by default starting with 10.10 but you can install it [11:26] RobotCow: are u still around [11:26] ? [11:26] amit: GIMP - give it a try [11:26] willemb,robotcow:thanx guys [11:26] ddalton, yup [11:26] jahrra:thanx [11:26] exxtreme: ubuntu10.4 [11:26] RobotCow, can u help mke? [11:27] exxtreme, when trying to hack this thing, there are some strings that are supposed to be embedded to the kernel you should also check on another tool known as usbmodeswitch or something like that - I managed hack a Huwaei modem work on Ubuntu-Hardy but I can't clearly remember the process, I had to really wander in google but one thing I remember is the kernel bit and the modeswitch. [11:27] me* [11:27] Evolution or Thunderbird for email with Ubu? I have used both for a long time - am wondering what others use/prefer [11:27] hi [11:27] ventti, Mutt [11:27] RobotCow: i found the boot parrameter DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text -- do you know at what point i press tab to get to the boot parameter input? [11:27] !best | ventti [11:27] ventti: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:27] ventti, its the ultimate [11:28] robotcow:how to use gimp any ubuntu link? [11:28] ventti, I prefer Evolution. [11:28] amit, i suggest asking in #gimp [11:28] k [11:29] how can i get ventti? [11:29] can ventti sync with google? [11:29] marvindoppelt: ok. i have briefly read about mode switching. but I think i'll try a newer version of ubuntu next time. [11:29] i mean google contacts? [11:29] ventti, Mutt! [11:30] I DID IT!! This was tricky one! I simply deleted Sawp in GParted ... and then I finally was able to resize sdb1 partition. Question now is: If I have 500 GB HDD and 4GB RAM, how much swap should I put??? [11:30] wasnt after a poll as such - more some guidance... i like both evo and tbird though. But I also use mail encryption... have used tbird with enigmail before and it worked like a charm - am not certain if sucj exists for Evo. RobotCow - does Mutt have support for gpg mail encryption/signing? [11:30] 6 gb swap [11:30] Thx [11:30] I am installing Wimax driver from linuxwimax.com (kernel). Will i loss my all configuration? [11:31] ox3a: not if you use the same home I guess [11:31] hey [11:31] well, when I went to school, my teacher said that 1.5xRAM Amount is too much anyway [11:31] ventti: yes, gpg is supported under mutt [11:31] wyclif, hi [11:31] He said that x1.0 is already much [11:31] ventti, yes it does. its a command line mail client. you can tell it to use your favorite text editor of choice such as vim emacs, etc [11:31] ubuntu-clone-tes: I usually use x2.0 [11:32] how to chat in terminal [11:32] royale1223: good morning [11:32] hummm, doesn it force to much disk scratching daily? [11:32] ubuntu-clone-tes: with 4GB ram you probably don't even need swap [11:32] wyclif, its actually evening here.. gud mornin [11:32] cmessel, Please see the web site for driver [11:32] royale1223: =) [11:33] RobotCow ok - ty - will install and have a play - am curious now [11:33] ubuntu-clone-tes:if u have 4gb ram then its not necessary to use swap [11:33] @pietr, so ... x0.5 would be as minimum, but stil lefective??? [11:33] RobotCow: did u see my last question -- do you know at which point i should press tab to get to the boot prompt where i can type boot parametters? [11:33] @amit, Okay ... so I can just leave my successfuly cloned HDD w/o Extended partition at all??? [11:33] ventti: yes, it's quite good, i find the mutt manual in /usr/share/doc is very good also, and well set out [11:33] royale1223: here to lend a hand as nobody is going anywhere here, stuck in a blizzard [11:34] ddalton, one sec, im checking. i don't remember off-hand [11:34] RobotCow: no worries, thanks. [11:34] wyclif, k [11:34] Okay ... so I can just leave my successfuly cloned HDD w/o Extended partition at all??? [11:35] wyclif, what email client do u use? [11:35] ubuntu-clone-tes: well decide for your self. but for example I'm running a server machine with 4GB ram 3TB of disk space, and I don't even come close to using swap [11:35] Ifhmmmm [11:35] royale1223: mutt/gmail over IMAP [11:35] ubuntu-close-tes: it depends what your doing [11:35] so - no need to use Extended Partition at all, right? [11:35] royale1223: I used to use Pine, back in the day [11:36] wyclif, can u sync gmail contacts in it? [11:36] royalle1223: yes [11:36] well, Webpage coding, Printing trhough Sharing and UPnp, also programming in Embarcadero Delphi XE [11:36] a bit gaming like Warcraft 3 and Battlefueld 2 [11:36] royale1223: yes [11:36] wyclif, is it available in ubuntu software centre? [11:36] royale1223: I believe so [11:37] Ok, lets put it to 2 GB as basis. ;) [11:37] cmessel, [11:37] Thank you all. [11:37] You are doing unvaluable job out here [11:37] ubuntu-close-tes: probably not. you can still activate it later. if you have a big drive, then you can have a smaller partition and maybe later turn it into swap [11:37] ddalton, it might be F6 [11:37] but my guess is that you will never need it [11:37] wyclif, cant find it [11:38] pietrs: Thanks. [11:38] royale1223 Try Synaptic or just apt-get [11:38] ubuntu-clone-tes: you're welcome [11:38] guys [11:38] k [11:38] how can I change ubuntu motd?

[12:19] chilli0, your emails are saved where? [12:19] There [12:19] willemb: so have you solved it? [12:19] chilli0, you can tell rsync to backup all your files under /home [12:20] Colin969 [12:20] rs0832 try now [12:20] RobotCow, Oh okay cool, cheers. [12:20] chilli0, that should include your emails too [12:20] pietr: no, not yet. I had lunch :-) i see 512 in the bios too, which is why I though a bios flash could be the answer [12:20] Colin969_, try what? === E8newallm_ is now known as E8newallm [12:20] selamın hello [12:20] chilli0, if you want it to run once a day automatically, you'll need to add the rsync command to cron. here's what mine looks like [12:20] speaking of which, does someone have a straight-forward way to do an award bios flash without windows and without a stiffy/floppy drive? [12:20] rs0832ita ok i see it cause imsigned on the Chat thing [12:21] l [12:21] Colin969 typed notifies mein a mini-popup [12:21] Colin969so i can talk to you on that? [12:21] Yeah [12:21] sudo rsync --archive --verbose --delete-after --human-readable --progress --log-file=/var/log/rsync/$(date +%Y%m%d)_rsync.log --exclude "/home/chris/.gvfs" "/home" "/media/onepointfivetb/Backup/Linux Home" [12:21] chilli0, [12:21] But Imma typing on this [12:21] Cause chats awkward [12:22] Colin969, ah ok [12:22] willemb: wait. may it be possible, that a graphics card is consuming the ram. i those cases it will show you have less RAM [12:22] RobotCow, Thanks, but is there anyway to backup all folders except for some? Like backup /home but not /Videos [12:22] chilli0, yeah, look at the rsync command im using. it is excluding a directory [12:22] pietr: good call, but no. I added another 1 gig dimm, and now I see a total of 1 gig, so each is only showing 1 gig. and the machine has a discrete graphics card [12:23] oh cool. Thanks =] [12:23] chilli0, the nice thing about rsync is that it doesn't have to recopy all the files over again. it only copies the new ones and modified ones the next time its ran [12:23] it might be chatzilla [12:24] as for flashing the bios, it looks like unetbootin, a flash drive and freedos is the way to go [12:24] Tito0096: Maye this can help http://timashley.me/node/596 [12:25] willemb: yes. you can use something like ultimatebootcd [12:25] willemb, you should be able to flash the bios without any os installed. at least on mine, i can. [12:25] soreau: tried it, it didnt work lol [12:25] Tito0096: Oh well [12:26] RobotCow, Sweet as, cheers. [12:26] Hi. Can someone tell me why "tunefs -U /dev/sdc1" works for EXT4 partitions, but not FAT partitions ? I get the following error: "Bad magic number in super block whyle trying to open /dev/sdc2" and "Couldn't find valid filesystem super block" [12:26] tune2fs* [12:26] rs0832 WOah, playonlinux is great has an auto-adder [12:26] RobotCow, how can I exc lude more than one folder? [12:27] soreau: what else can i do [12:27] which scripts are run these days when waking up from acpi suspend? [12:27] Colin969_, :) [12:28] Do you need to use the nvidia drivers for audio over hdmi? [12:28] Jemt, if you read the man page "tune2fs allows the system administrator to adjust various tunable filesystem parameters on Linux ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystems." [12:28] RobotCow: Ah, I see. Thank you [12:28] histo: probably [12:28] rs0832 damn updates [12:29] Colin969_, :D yep [12:29] RobotCow: on a 4 year-old motherboard? [12:29] rs0832 BUt has support for my Half-LIfe collection =] [12:30] willemb, possibly, have you checked in the bios? it may be able to load the file from floppy, cd or flash drive [12:30] Colin969_, cool [12:31] Hi, What permissions are cron jobs run with? I'm having some issues with anacron running an rsync command to a home directory. [12:32] CMooney, should be root. You can try adding a cron job to do "whoami > ~/tmp/file.txt" [12:33] RobotCow, I'll take your word for it. [12:33] CMooney, I use rsync to backup my home, and i have it ran once each night with crontab -e [12:34] RobotCow, Unfortunately the machine it is on will not be on 24/7 or even close to it. Anacron is used by SimpleBackup to do the job, seems logical to get anacron to do the rest of the jobs too. [12:34] "How hard can it be?" :p [12:35] CMooney, to answer your first question, have a look in /etc/crontab [12:35] I wish to have my menu bars at the top, but they keep switching their order, when I reboot. see http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9650/screenshot062o.png [12:35] ello, how can I mount disk images (.img) under linux? [12:36] CMooney, looking at /etc/crontab, it appears to be using anacron [12:36] RobotCow, Yes, it saus root [12:36] nope, no such luck, i will need a dos environment [12:36] so I'd like to have the Applications / Places / System bar to be the upper one. Does anyone know how to achieve this please? [12:36] so freedos on a flash drive via unetbootin is what i will try [12:36] RobotCow, The exclude command isn't working for some weird reason...

I don't wanna exclude the other folders... I just wanna exclude information. [12:40] hal are u smart in linux/ubuntu? [12:40] TkCientista: I am not an expert by any means [12:40] chilli0, oh, i misunderstood because you were asking me about excluding more than one directory [12:40] RobotCow, Oh my bad.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:53] 4=read, 2=write, 1=read. add those numbers to get a combination of them. === mneisen_ is now known as mneisen [12:53] rs01832 POL [12:53] SubstreamAI, root is the ultimate power user in a linux system [12:53] SubstreamAI, [12:53] SubstreamAI: root = superuser privileges [12:54] ok... and why does that lock me out if I installed it? [12:54] if i set chown of a directory to be root, why can other users still access it [12:54] Colin969, try using a terminal to start POL and then use it [12:54] I don't get it, I ahve to change the owner? Why did they package it like that? [12:54] SubstreamAI, lock you out? [12:54] it makes no sense, something is wrong [12:54] I simply cannot write to that folder [12:54] SubstreamAI, ubuntu doesnt support a root user [12:54] SubstreamAI, it is meant as a security measure [12:54] MrUnagi: ls -al -- It may be owned by root -- but rw for group/others [12:55] ls -l produces a list showing 'root' as the owner [12:55] red2kik how do i change that [12:55] i have an encrypted home directory and use rsync to backup the files in my home directory to an external hard drive which is not encrypted ... i want to make this more secure, would you recommend just copying the encrypted home file to the backup [12:55] SubstreamAI: Generally /usr/share/ aren't writeable [12:55] SubstreamAI, yes.. root owns everything [12:55] I'm aware of the security angle. I just don't understrand why its packaged thsi way, something must be wrong [12:55] RobotCow, What is the quite switch? [12:55] SubstreamAI: Use "sudo" when you want to change files outside of your "safe zone" -- That being ~/ or /home/dave [12:55] SubstreamAI, it is made that way for security [12:55] it make no sense that I install eggdrop and immediately upon running it, there are write permissions to its own folder [12:56] SubstreamAI: You have all permissions you want on your home directory. Anything outside that is warzone. [12:56] red2kic: how do i change it so that no one can rw to anything above a directory [12:56] r [12:56] is there any one heard of reliance net connect [12:56] yeah... but it didnt' install to my home, it installed to /usr/share/ [12:56] ? [12:56] chilli0, nevermind, try using verbose option with rsync [12:56] MrUnagi: Use "chmod" to change permissions -- "ls -al /path/to/directory" -- What does it say [12:56] is there any one heard of reliance net connect? [12:56] MrUngi use chmod recursively [12:57] RobotCow, -v is already on. [12:57] juniour, where are you from? [12:57] I can move it... tried that... but its still not chaing the write permissions. It makes 0 sense, that eggdrop cannot write to its own folder, where it wants to out of the box, and that they packaged it in a way where this is a problem. Something is wrong. I don't know enough to know what, but I konw somehting is wrong [12:57] india [12:57] chilli0, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=rsync+exclude+not+working&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [12:57] SubstreamAI: Right. /usr/share -- That way, all users can use shared folders. The eggdrop (or any daemons) are not meant to be running individually by a user. It's very organized. [12:57] juniour, thought RNC sounded familiar ;) [12:58] red2kic: hang on i am having trouble logging in [12:58] i have instalation prob [12:58] soreau: The guide is for an outdated minecraft [12:58] SubstreamAI: I believe if you installed eggdrop (and if it is a daemon), it should have its own username. [12:58] juniour, what kind of a problem? [12:58] soreau: would it still apply? [12:58] rs01832 Argh [12:59] daemon... I don't know what that is. Sorry, I'm a noob [12:59] it giving error while installing [12:59] Colin969, yes? [12:59] I have a list of files that contain the line /sbin/ipset ... I need to replace them to /usr/sbin/ipset ... How do I do it to save my time from being manual edit to each file... [12:59] eggdrop is an IRC bot [12:59] SubstreamAI: Try reinstalling the same package. Did you chmod or chown root:root on the directory? [12:59] rs0832 Oh Its at the top [12:59] rnc is wireless modem same like usb [12:59] SubstreamAI, a daemon is kind like a bot that is always running in the background on a system [12:59] why might firefox not open? [13:00] I did this: sudo chmod g+rwx /usr/share/eggdrop and that didn't do anything [13:00] dylan_noktum, try opening it through the terminal... it will out put errors there if any [13:00] chilli0, from what im reading, you can create a text file and put each folder you want to exclude on a new line in it and use the --exclude-from '/path/to/exclude.txt' [13:00] rs0832 u have some idea [13:00] dylan_noktum: Open a terminal -- "killall firefox ; firefox" -- If there are errors, you should see it in the terminal. [13:00] ? [13:00] juniour, tell me the error [13:00] juniour, if it is big, use a pastebin [13:01] red2kic, rs0832 didja get that? [13:01] RobotCow, I got it workign now thanks =D [13:01] I did this: sudo chmod g+rwx /usr/share/eggdrop and that didn't do anything [13:01] chilli0, i got it to work. PM me. its too much to paste in here. [13:01] SubstreamAI, how did you install it? [13:01] all of a sudden i forgot all of my passwords [13:01] SubstreamAI: Remove all eggdrop packages. Reinstall it. See if that did the trick. [13:01] chilli0, just need to use relative path, not full path [13:01] Archive: /media/ZTEMT USB MODEM/Setup.exe [13:01] [/media/ZTEMT USB MODEM/Setup.exe] [13:01] End-of-central-directory signature not found.

[13:02] juniour, for big outputs use a pastebin [13:02] red2kic, reinstall won't change anything [13:02] when i run it in the terminal it had no errors but closed almost imediatly and kill all did nothing red2kic rs0832 [13:02] red2kic, its as it was when I installed it. I haven't done anything to it except configure 1 text file [13:02] juniour, ah you cannot install an exe on ubuntu [13:02] juniour, you have to get different drivers for linux [13:02] ya but it ahs exe file [13:02] SubstreamAI: No. Probably not. "sudo updatedb && locate eggdrop" -- I'm on ARCH so I really can't exactly test it myself. -- Sometimes there are configuration files where you can run the daemon (as whose user). [13:03] k [13:03] anyone ever changes to /etc/dnsmasq.conf not be picked up when dnsmasq is restarted? [13:03] dylan_noktum, have you tried a reinstall [13:03] reloaded the db before I installed it 3 days ago [13:03] SubstreamAI, how did you install it? [13:03] wouldnt that loss all my prefrences and stuff? [13:03] rs0832 Im booting into XP Brb [13:03] Colin969, k [13:03] I selected it from Synaptic Package Manager, and then clicked Apply [13:04] SubstreamAI, then nothing is wrong with it [13:04] dylan_noktum: Try starting it with a new profile -- Or with addons disabled. [13:04] exactly [13:04] that's exactly my point [13:04] SubstreamAI, maybe it's meant to be run as root [13:04] dylan_noktum: "firefox --help" should list the possible parameters. I think it was "firefox --safe-mode" Check that. [13:04] how can i start it with out the addons? [13:05] rs00832 error: wrong architecture 'i386' [13:05] juniour, where did you get that error? [13:05] SubstreamAI: Hold on. I'm going to the other machine (Ubuntu). [13:05] thank you very much red2kic [13:06] * SubstreamAI is holding :) [13:06] when i run the linux installation file [13:06] dylan_noktum: Welcome.

[13:10] me [13:10] ubuntupuneuser: there are several howtos available from internet for that [13:10] SubstreamAI: Right. Installing that atm. [13:10] juniour, it is like apt-get , but for suse [13:10] red2kic, the configuration for that is tremendous... [13:11] you have to edit the eggdrop.conf file which is quite long indeed [13:11] an gcc [13:11] I have googled several times but no luck for proper mail server setup [13:11] how to open suse [13:11] ubuntupuneuser: what do you mean with proper? [13:11] you won't be able to install it and run it [13:11] SubstreamAI: Yeah. I ran it. CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED. :( [13:11] my ubuntu 10.10 doesnt detect direct connection after changing pppoe to direct connection [13:11] you have to set up a lot of stuff first, they make it that way on purpose [13:11] juniour, how to open suse?? what do you mean? [13:11] what to do? [13:11] hi all [13:12] just try to create a file in the eggdrop folder [13:12] ubuntupuneuser, what mail server software are you using? i prefer postfix because of its straight forward configuration over sendmail [13:12] text file, anything [13:12] in installation gide for rnc it given open suse [13:12] am i ignored to the others or what? === root is now known as Guest28151 [13:12] juniour, opensuse is a whole different operating system [13:12] istvan007: ask the question [13:12] to start a service I'm doing: /etc/init.d/serviceName start [13:13] gobbe i did it a few times [13:13] my ubuntu 10.10 doesnt detect direct connection after changing pppoe to direct connection [13:13] rs0832 then wt to do [13:13] what do i have to do to fix this issue [13:13] ? [13:13] ? [13:13] if I'd like to start it at startup how would it be? [13:13] istvan007: what do you mean detect? [13:13] no internet connection [13:13] no ip address [13:13] no nothing [13:13] istvan007: you close pppoe and then your ethernet/wlan is not working? [13:13] iguanna, that no longer works in ubuntu 10.10. you'd need to do sudo service serviceName start [13:13] juniour, what is the device you are using? [13:14] i have uninstalled everything that's related to ppp [13:14] but still not working [13:14] zte-ac2726 [13:14] juniour, ok hold on [13:14] it doen't get an ip address from the router [13:14] u search on google reliance net connect zte ac2726 [13:15] hello - is there a problem with flash player on ubuntu 10.10 64 bit? because it crashes very very very often. i use it on google chrome browser [13:15] juniour, try in a terminal sudo apt-get install wvdial [13:15] iguanna, install sysv-rc-conf [13:15] how to start a service automatically?

[13:16] iguanna, and you'll want to make the changes under runlevel 2 [13:16] sysv-rc-conf [13:16] red2kic, jsut a sec [13:16] juniour, sorry i didnt understand what you just said [13:16] burg, FlashPlayer is very instable indeed. Many times I close a tab with some video and it get stuck with the npviewer process. Hopefully I have enable process separation for the plugins in Firefox. [13:17] k [13:17] i ma installing wvdial [13:17] red2kic, I've read that [13:17] SubstreamAI: There also are FreeNode - #eggdrop, #egghelp [13:17] leagris, what should i do in chrome so it will be stable? [13:17] red2kic, I'm in there [13:18] red2kic, the only guy who answers there compiles his install, he doesn't use Package Manager [13:18] rso832 there are different model u tell me for zte-ac2726 [13:18] SubstreamAI: http://www.egghelp.org/files.htm#config [13:18] thanks [13:18] burg, I look like more an issue with FlashPlayer itself. The best I can suggest is using some extension to block flash like FlashBlock and AddBlockplus. [13:19] SubstreamAI: There are simple.conf if you want that. [13:19] iguanna, that work for you? [13:19] yep [13:19] red2kic, my config is good [13:19] I can start the bot and it works [13:19] it doesn't save the settings [13:19] SubstreamAI: But? [13:19] leagris, i don`t want to block flash - i want to be able to view websites like youtube or soundcloud [13:19] because it can't write to its own dir [13:19] when you first start the bot, you have to tell it that you are its owner [13:20] someone did all this for ubottu [13:20] juniour, http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2009/07/configuring-reliance-netconnect-on.html [13:20] i have installed wvdial [13:20] rs0832 then wt? [13:20] now [13:20] The bot then writes the passwords and user info, who to op, all that in files located in its directlry [13:20] directory [13:20] anybody able to play these videos in firefox, chrome or some other browser under linux? http://nanomachine.zapto.org/c_programming_videos/player.htm [13:20] i can't get them to work [13:21] Debugging a mass storage device-- Is there an option to automatically write to the FS instead of caching in devtempfs? [13:21] they are .mov [13:21] gobbe http://pastebin.com/NxMWeQJD [13:21] My bot can't save anything, so if you "kill" it, you ahve to start over again from scratch. It can't save anything [13:21] red2kic, are you getting all this? [13:21] SubstreamAI: Yes. [13:21] rs0832 ? [13:22] SubstreamAI: Pastebin your conf file. I'll use it. [13:22] red2kic, can we go to a PM where the infor is all together and not interlaced? [13:22] SubstreamAI: This is fine. [13:22] k [13:22] gobbe i have no connection with the router [13:22] istvan007: try "sudo dhclient eth0" [13:22] !netsplit [13:22] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [13:23] rs0832 i hve the installation gide u wanna to read and then u tell me wt to do [13:23] red2kic, you have a couple of bots :) [13:23] salve a tutti [13:23] gobbe [13:23] burg, sorry, no solution. Flash is closed source by Adobe and as long as they dare providing a binary for Linux, even if it is unstable, your only choice is use it or avoid it. [13:23] hey guys, i'm a little confused over laptop-mode [13:23] thanks [13:23] :D [13:23] i've got this laptop that i can just abnout get down to 10W [13:23] it worked [13:23] but i want to get it lower if possible [13:23] istvan007: it wont fix it for good [13:23] SubstreamAI: Many copynpasta. :( [13:23] yet laptop-mode-tools conflicts with pm-tools and acpi-support [13:23] so i have to do this every time? [13:23] that seems a little dubious [13:23] istvan007: put content of /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin also [13:24] can anyone suggest me something about hetzner provider about a vps? [13:24] red2kic, yep. I think that was a netsplit there [13:24] rs0832 ? [13:24] yes [13:24] Winkie, what is your question?

[13:25] hi I'm still running 9.04 on my laptop, I do NOT get a distro update option to 9.10.. can somebody help [13:25] my question is: what packages should i install / how should i configure this to support laptop-mode [13:25] devi fare 2 partizioni [13:25] una per la ram [13:25] rs0832 giv me ur email id so i send u gide [13:25] e una per i dati [13:25] come faccio? [13:25] /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode or whatever is 0 still [13:25] i dati vecchi non mi interessano... cancello tutto [13:25] c'è il tool iniziale di installazione [13:25] red2kic, Am I incorrect in thinking that all I have to do is provide write accesss to /usr/share/eggdrop for the group? [13:25] ok, i give up. does someone know how to make a freedos booting flash drive with unetbootin, and put extra files in it? when i boot, the files do not show up [13:25] mi spiega lui? [13:26] si certo [13:26] red2kic, or at least to my username? [13:26] come faccio a lanciare il cd in dos? che comandi mi servono? [13:26] ricorda che se formatti perdi tutto [13:26] non ho niente [13:26] non devi farlo partire da dos [13:26] è un vecchio pc [13:26] SubstreamAI: Correct. From the look of it. You have to apply your user to this particular folder, maybe. [13:26] inserisici il cd e fai il reboot [13:26] deve regalarlo a mia sorella per stipare delle foto su un hard disk esterno [13:26] and that's going to be chown, are you able to do that? [13:26] rs0832 ? [13:26] juniour, check pm [13:27] ma c'è linux limpus installato, ma si impalla [13:27] rs0832 wt pm [13:27] lo lancia da in reboot lo stesso?

[13:28] SubstreamAI: I'm trying to find the command. I think it have to do with s+ something. I'm not familiar with all permissions.

It ran, I was able to identify myself as its master, everything was fine until I "killed" it. Next time I started it, its like the first time, it doesn't know anything. I've discovered thats because it didn't create any of the files it was supposed to. [13:36] rs0832 giving no input files [13:36] thank you gobbe [13:36] ;) [13:36] juniour, type gcc --version [13:36] juniour, the --version part is important [13:36] i owe you a beer [13:36] :D [13:36] or something [13:36] red2kic, in fact one of the first things it tells me is it can create the channel file and it drops it [13:36] what you want [13:36] :) [13:36] istvan008: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

I just got around to try Ubuntu 10.10 and it looks awesome with these fancy graphics. However, my problem began when I decided to check for "Additional Drivers". Surely an Nvidia driver was available and it was recommended so I installed it, however, it appears that it broke my fancy graphics and now would occasionally throw me to the terminal, no GUI only text, whenever I restart. Anyone knows what I should do to fix this? [14:18] redmarine: Next time, get Radeon ;) [14:18] juniour, did it work? [14:19] soreau: My experience is the opposite of yours..

Whenever the terminal starts I have to do sudo reboot [14:19] soreau: True..

I got another PC, which is a medion brand. It only seems to support Windows. How do I install ubuntu on it? I installed ubuntu onto it about 5 or 6 times last night. Everytime, it gave the same problem. Ubuntu wouldn't start up. I tried versions 10.10 and 10.04. The screen would just go blank, showing "no signal". [15:19] sspc: it could be a hardware fault [15:19] harddrive, install medium or whatever [15:20] or even ACPI [15:20] pietr: Is there anyway to test whats causing the problem? [15:20] sspc: did the installation finnished correctly? [15:21] Yes [15:21] still not feeling comfortable with editing grub files manually. Isn't there a tool that rechecks for OS'es ? [15:21] raykid: install os-prober [15:21] raykid, update-grub [15:21] sspc: at which point it failed? [15:22] Will try both thx guys [15:22] The install finished 100% successfully, but then on choosing ubuntu on the boot screen, it doesn't load- it just goes blank, [15:22] raykid: sudo apt-get install os-prober & sudo os-prober & sudo update-grub [15:23] sspc: do you see any messages after choosing ubuntu during boot? [15:23] No messages at all. [15:23] IdleOne, well that works but it kinda doesnt find the win7...

[15:24] rs8832: How do you disable them? [15:25] sspc: try to click 'e' button on the boot option [15:25] sspc, in the grub boot menu, highlight the option and press 'e' [15:25] OK, thanks! I'll try that. [15:26] sspc: and maybe add 'noacpi,acpi=off' [15:26] sspc: that will probably do it [15:27] Thanks! I'll just make a note of this. [15:30] hallo [15:30] kann mir jemand helfen ?

[15:52] abhinav_singh, root has no password on Ubuntu systems by default [15:52] abhinav_singh, so if you can get your hands on a live cd /usb i can help you [15:52] C4R4J0: server down maybe, wait a few hours [15:52] hi, ubuntu 10.10, how can rhythmbox play ape music files? totem can play ape fine. thanks. [15:53] Thanks a lot! [15:53] how can i reinstall virtualbox without losing my images? [15:53] C4R4J0: could be any of 1000 reasons, try switching your repo in Software Sources. [15:53] okay man...tomorrow you will be online right === DJAshnar is now known as SamuraiAlba [15:53] abhinav_singh, yep [15:53] feano2, if i want to "back up" my ubuntu as it is on another computer. can i dump / then too? or are there some files that will make problem because of different hardware [15:53] sgo11, seek plugins for gstreamer [15:53] feano2: yup man i know...i am advising him to use sudo [15:53] feano2, ok. will try it now. thanks. [15:53] goltoof: Why do you think you need to reinstall vbox? [15:54] when am installing a software am getting error 'in order to install or remove a software u need to authenicate' this is the problem wat should i do please help me am new user [15:54] bluehut, of course, but usually initrd is bloated enough to boot anywhere [15:54] !en [15:54] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only.

[15:55] xaetak, i dont think you can [15:55] * feano2 thinks someone should put software center to the eternal rest [15:55] feano2, I found that I did install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly. [15:55] xaetak: chmod [15:55] yes i have entered my password correctly but its coming again [15:55] xaetak: you mean commands that wouldn't require sudo authentication [15:55] ravi, can you screenshot the window? [15:56] I want to stop certain commands being executed. [15:56] feano2, do you think its a dirty way to have my settings and programs on all computers and easyily back it up? or do you think its okay [15:56] xaetak, see man sudoers [15:56] xaetak: chmod -x /path/to/app/ [15:56] xaetak: yeah then chmod, change it so it isn't executable [15:56] bluehut, that method will require some live cd [15:57] feano2, i think that wont be problem. i just want to do it a clean way [15:57] after a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10, after grub loads I only get a blinking cursor and then my screen shuts off due to lack of input to the monitor.. does anyone know how to get the the 'boot from first harddrive' option on the 10.10 livecd [15:57] actually am installing it in my dell laptop the error is coming like that [15:58] soreau: well it keeps crashing [15:58] ravi, did you screenshot/? [15:58] bluehut, there;s no a clean way to transfer system to a different hardware [15:58] soreau: it could be that i'm using visio within it. [15:58] goltoof: reinstalling the application isnt going to change anything. You might ask in #vbox [15:59] feano2, and a clean way to transfer wallpapers, gtk settings and all other settings? [15:59] sgo11, then you need more plugins from somewhere [15:59] hey rs0832..how do i close the open port? [15:59] feano2, ok. thanks. but I have no idea what to install.... totem can play ape fine. [15:59] phpjim, could be a graphics driver problem , what card ? [16:00] bluehut, you can transfer /etc for system-wide settings [16:00] 这里有中国人吗 [16:00] feano2, this will be clean?

[16:00] abhinav_singh, :) i am not really experienced with networking, but you can do it on your router or with a firewall, i think [16:00] Any fix for the "cannot reserve MMIO region" bug? [16:00] yes [16:00] What is the fix, if any? [16:01] oh ok rs0832..well i have no control over my router [16:01] phpjim: press esc when the live image first loads [16:01] soreau: on occasion reinstalling an application does make it work again. i'm not 100% sure if it will help, but it's a little presumptuous to say it won't right away [16:01] abhinav_singh, you can use ufw [16:01] bluehut, it should if you're not replacing important things like /etc/shadow etc. [16:01] ! vbox | goltoof [16:01] goltoof: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[16:01] phpjim, some of newer 2and 300 series of nvidia onboards and pci cards ahave driver probs on maverick [16:01] I dont need to escape. It does auto boot [16:01] 9 sec boot time.

[16:03] ravi, then run sudo apt-get update in a terminal [16:03] feano2, okay. thank you for your help [16:04] ravi, that's OK, ignore it [16:04] BluesKaj: alright.. so do you think I should try an older install cd? [16:04] is there a small tool to convert RTF -> plain text? Not Bloatoffice or crappyword please [16:04] BluesKaj: holding shift shows grub menu... [16:05] BluesKaj: and do you have any opinion on why the livecd works fine and the install goes smooth but then I have the console issue? [16:05] what do u mean by sudo apt [16:05] ravi, apt-get is the package manager [16:05] soreau: will do, thanks [16:05] ravi, sudo runs the program with superuser privs [16:05] how i have to install it [16:05] ravi, sudo means running it as superuser [16:05] feano2, unrtf? [16:06] ravi, you dont need to [16:06] I am facing a problem since I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 then upgraded to 10.10 [16:06] what do u mean by super user [16:06] ravi, just open a terminal (applications menu>accesories>terminal) [16:06] I have researched / googled a lot .. my display settings say monitor: unknown [16:07] ravi, and type it there and press enter [16:07] root/admin with full privs [16:07] PCdoc: What display adpater do you have? [16:07] rs0832, it didn't work because repo has prealfa version or similar junk [16:07] ravi, since ubuntu is meant for multiple users, there has to be an 'owner' [16:07] PCdoc, mine does too, but it works non the less. [16:07] I have via chipsets ... Via K8M800-CE + VT8237R [16:08] phpjim, the live cd uses the generic nouveau graphics driver, but once the install p[rocedure is enabled the graphics driver specific to your card is installed and in some cases like yours , doesn [16:08] work [16:08] i have tried unichrome .. no change [16:08] hello [16:08] unichrome / openchrome ** [16:08] BluesKaj: insightful. so is there any way to force the install to use the nouveau driver?

[16:13] ravi: type your password i suppose [16:13] ravi, the pass word you use to login [16:14] <_pg_> I've never done a reinstall of ubuntu before but now I need to for a relative. Do I just need to grab the home directory to get all their personal stuff? and then how do I restore that user once tthe OS os reinstalled? [16:14] when i pressed my password its saying command not found [16:14] ravi, try again : sudo apt-get update [16:14] _pg_: you move it back, but for ease of access in the future set up 2 partitions one or / and the other for /home then it makes it easier to reinstall and replace files [16:15] *or=for [16:15] ravi, copy and paste it [16:15] PCdoc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [16:15] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: i dont understand [16:15] usr13: i have tried that too [16:15] _pg_: how far have you gotten so far? [16:15] question for you guys [16:16] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: well ive given up trying to fix it, and have decided to reinstall. I have a live usb running on it and a external hdd to back up stuff to [16:16] is it a general problem with 10.10, or somehting silly with my machine. menus have a way of not popping up sometimes unless i mouse over a few times [16:16] _pg_: yes copy their users /home to the external hdd [16:16] what i have to do next [16:17] ravi, try installing what you were before [16:17] usr13: how do i make sure xorg is in use .. in ubuntu 10.10 .. My system is upto date [16:17] PCdoc: It replace the via driver with the openchrome one with command sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (if the via driver is what is not working well for you). But I don't know, just going by what I see at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [16:17] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: and then just replace the new /home that will be created? that seems to easy. wont things get messed up with permissions or something like that? [16:17] <_pg_> its going from 9.10 to 10.10 also- [16:17] SirShmoopy, you think the machine is too busy? [16:18] How do I create a backup of my SansClip+ using dd? Something like dd -if=/dev/usbdevice -of=~/sansaclip.img ? [16:18] I read somewhere that xorg is not in use by default in 10.10 [16:18] _pg_: shouldn't, though some config file's settings may be redundant, as long as the user name is the same (exactly the same) [16:18] compdoc, no, it happens even when i only have a few apps running. but i dont remember it being a problem 10.04-down [16:18] someone here possibly code sth in java? [16:18] PCdoc: yeah its been deprecated for a while now [16:18] <_pg_> is the name of the dir inside /home the username? [16:18] _pg_: yes [16:18] oh, its 10.10? [16:19] aeon-ltd: so how do i make it in use .. coz if i have installed any drivers .. it wont show change unless its enabled [16:19] yeah [16:19] _pg_, yes [16:19] <_pg_> sweet-thanks chaps [16:19] PCdoc: its still read by xorg, just that some options were given over to udev for plug an play purposes [16:20] Ive been seeing so many problems with 10.10 in here - think I'll stick with 10.04.1 [16:20] Hi all, has anyone experienced problems playing certain dvds? Some play, some don't. [16:20] in 10.10 [16:20] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: were you saying before to install OS to / and then /home to a new partition? [16:20] BluesKaj: in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the menuentries, I see a line 'set root='(hd0,msdos1)'.. shouldn't I see something more like: sda1,ext4? [16:20] spivwaq: Which ones don't play? [16:20] BluesKaj: my harddrive is sda [16:20] compdoc: the problem m talking abt is with my installation since ubuntu 9.* [16:20] _pg_: yes it makes it easier for reinstalls later as you can just wipe / whilst keeping /home intact [16:20] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: like [16:20] I can't play "Inception" [16:21] <_pg_> spivwaq: try going down another level [16:21] <_pg_> :P [16:21] hello [16:21] hello [16:21] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: how bug does OS part need to be? does it grow much over time? [16:21] _pg_: yeah 3 partitions like that / /home /swap [16:22] _pg_: do you mean like logging in as the administrator? [16:22] spivwaq: What is Inception? What type of video format is it? [16:22] phpjim, do df -h in the terminal , check for /dev/sdaX [16:22] _pg_: you mean the / parititoin? [16:22] _pg_: it will grow as you add software to the system. But all your documents and settings are stored in the /home [16:22] BluesKaj: yeah, it's there [16:22] _pg_: the os only needs to be between 8gb to 20gb it all depends on how much applications you will install since the packages and system configs are stored on / [16:22] usr13: i tried the command line u wrote above and it returns me: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is already the newest version. [16:23] how do i install kernel 2.6.36 on maverick? i need that version for my wireless drivers. [16:23] It's a movie, video format I don't know, appear to be *.VOB on the disk [16:23] _pg_: really though you could have it as small as 4gb using the minimal install (or server install) [16:23] spivwaq, while i havent tried watching anything THAT new, ive never had trouble watching movies [16:23] COPYING on the other hand [16:23] phpjim, sudo fdisk -l [16:24] yeah my other dvds have no probs I installed libdvdread4 hoping that would do the trick [16:24] acemo: check in backports [16:24] !backports | acemo [16:24] acemo: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [16:24] PCdoc: It was probably already installed during the initial install process. [16:24] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: ok, its for my mother-in-law. chrome-facebook-gmail type stuff. Although she did figure out how to load pictures on with fspot which was impressive. so like 15GB is fine? 20 to be safe? [16:24] PCdoc: Can I PM you? [16:24] If i install Wine package.. will viruses also start acting??? as .exe files will be recognized by ubuntu wine package [16:24] sure usr13 [16:24] <_pg_> PCdoc: dont think so [16:24] histo: thanks [16:24] PCdoc: No [16:24] spivwaq, does this particular dvd play on another computer? [16:25] hi, i have a problem with ubuntu one [16:25] _pg_: i'd say 12gb if most of her time is on the web and not on multiple applications === a is now known as Guest49963 [16:25] <_pg_> aeon-ltd: awesome. thanks for all your help [16:25] i've got Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat [16:25] _pg_: your welcome [16:25] BluesKaj: /dev/sda1 (bootable) /dev/sda2 extended /dev/sda5 swap [16:25] *you're [16:25] yeah it plays fine but for Ubuntu...i read that ubuntu needs ot have some packages installed for dvds [16:26] spivwaq, yes [16:26] * PCdoc is waiting for usr13 PM [16:26] but i thought i'd gotten all of them [16:26] spivwaq, cause some are regionalised [16:26] <_pg_> one final question: is there anything that tests hdd integrity like SR6 that I can run from live usb? [16:26] histo: enabling backports doesn't seems to give me any newer kernel. [16:27] acemo: you may have to build it yourself if you can't find a ppa with it [16:27] backporting kernel is a stupid idea [16:27] spivwaq, if it persists you can try vobcopy [16:28] Ubuntu for Netbook 10..... how do I show the seconds with the clock? How do I display the weather? [16:28] feano2: i'd be happy with it though ^^ [16:28] ok phpjim , try this small tutorial : http://paste.ubuntu.com/547986/ , but since you're on the livecd skip step3 [16:28] hi all.

[16:30] phpjim, nothing mediocre abot that card :) [16:30] err about [16:30] iRabbit_, its a little different in netbook look here for clock http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/enable-date-day-seconds-on-indicator-datetime/ [16:31] iRabbit_, you will have to play with dconf-tools [16:31] BluesKaj: compared to the rest of the system it is =) [16:31] iRabbit_, rather deconf-editor [16:31] the software-centre does not show anything.. how can i solve it ? when opened only window opens but nothing is visible on it.

[16:34] gobbe: yep nothing...literally nothing is visible. [16:34] murlidhar: not even on the left part? [16:35] gobbe: nopes [16:35] murlidhar: interesting...

[17:41] eXpl0it3r: settings->preferences->displays [17:41] maco: i go to system > prefs > monitors .. it tells me to use my card vendor settings [17:41] lahwran__: but nvidia doesnt work with xrandr, so wouldnt work with the gnomey xrandr config tool [17:41] lahwran__: i'm not confusing him... what's your deal? [17:41] heya, I am getting a SIGTRAP when trying to launch Empathy 2.32 since a couple of days. I got a stack trace: http://pastebin.com/b8KisTkk Any hints? [17:41] eXpl0it3r: sorry, settings->preferences->monitors [17:41] nit-wit: http://pastebin.com/LfachmnT [17:41] what should I use to split a mp4 in linux? I am reading how to do it with ffmpeg, but i can only see how to do it by setting your own time. I want to split it right down the middle, without me having to specify the time. [17:41] goltoof: sorry, when you said "display manager" to me that meant like... GDM or KDM or XDM... === petr is now known as Guest12575 [17:42] dom96, thanks hold on [17:42] It seems it's looking for the root.disk on the wrong drive. [17:42] maco: but he said fresh install. fresh install, people! [17:42] goltoof: ie, the login screen [17:42] lahwran__: fresh instsall doesnt determine hardware! [17:42] but it does determine that you haven't installed the special drivers [17:42] lahwran__: some hardware *does not work* with xrandr [17:42] because it's *fresh* [17:42] lahwran__: different people's definition of "fresh" varies. it could just mean "i didnt upgrade from an old release" [17:42] lahwran__: i know he said fresh install, but depending on what his gfx card is he'll have to install vendor drivers, which may or may not allow use of the default interface [17:43] nit-wit: Thanks for taking a look, i hope you'll find a solution! [17:43] Sean93: doom9.org [17:43] lahwran__: i've been through this many times ;) [17:43] goltoof: as soon as one installs something it cannot be called fresh [17:43] I'm well aware of the nvidia settings, I use them [17:43] the only thing i can config is where the displays are positioned, and the resolution refresh rate, but not which one is primary [17:43] lahwran__: if i say "fresh" i mean "i installed it from a cd in the last month-ish" [17:43] dom96, so the wubi in XP isn't booting as that the problem [17:43] phpjim, well if you need windows for any reason , it would have been best to install it before installing linux due to the grub wipe when windows is installed second [17:43] maco: time to change that then [17:43] BluesKaj: no.. I don't want or need windows at all [17:43] now. gdm crashed, how do I free it's lock [17:44] !fresh [17:44] lahwran__: doesnt matter. i NEVER install fresh anyway :) [17:44] phpjim, ok [17:44] nit-wit: I actually don't have XP. Don't know why it's still there, must be from the old XP i had. [17:44] looks like it's undefined so no ones right :P [17:44] BluesKaj: I've been running linux machines at work for 5 years.. I do not want to use windows! I just can't get this install to work and I am running out of options [17:44] I am trying to record using Rhythmbox, but it seems to NOT work, although it did in the past (in 10.04) [17:45] phpjim, my friend over at #kubuntu is looking for the tutorial that he says works in your situation [17:45] I am using gnome 64 bits, 10.10 [17:45] phpjim: wait you've been using linux for 5 years but are only just installing it yourself for the first time now? [17:45] lahwran__: ...in work [17:45] lahwran__: no.. I am having a trouble with an install on a brand new machine [17:45] phpjim: ah [17:45] lahwran__: i've installed linux... countless number of times [17:45] hello [17:46] nit-wit: Any thoughts on how to fix this? [17:46] arrr windows is soo much better -.- [17:46] eXpl0it3r: go to system > admin > additional drivers [17:46] eXpl0it3r: no, it's not.. trust me [17:46] Anyone wanna help me fix a Kvirc problem? [17:46] hello: im having a trouble with setting hostname of my Ubuntu server... in /etc/hostname i wrote this row: "192.168.1.12 klara" without " and in /etc/hosts i have "127.0.0.1 localhost klara" and if command "$ sudo hostname klara" returns [17:46] hostname: the specified hostname is invalid [17:46] dom96, you have no Ubuntu installed in any other way per the script, but you have a grub.cfg due to a grub update accepted at one time in the wubi I'm confused as to what your problem is [17:46] phpjim: have you run live session? [17:47] shcherbak: yeah that works great [17:47] nit-wit: Ubuntu can't find root.disk. That's my problem. [17:47] hi all [17:47] St4cn1r: /etc/hostname contains only hostname, no IP [17:47] eXpl0it3r: that should show you what hardware drivers are avail for your gpc [17:47] when using okular, page up/down mostly don't work to page up and down. Is this a known problem? [17:47] I don't know if this is the correct channel for this, but when I torrent things on ubuntu they don't seem to want to start up; either that or the down speed is ridiculously low whereas I get upwards of 2MB/s on Windows 7. How can I fix this? [17:47] I have a suspicion it's not specific to okular and may be an X driver problem [17:48] phpjim: get usb and make "presistent" ubuntu on it, and boot from it. [17:48] dom96, that s a wubi problem do you have the wubi still it was in XP [17:48] shcherbak: that's less than ideal [17:48] nit-wit: I have a Wubi installation which I installed from XP. [17:48] dom96, right does XP run [17:49] phpjim: no i case (dunno whats wrong) your cd failing, usb will not, usb you can update (and in depth test) [17:49] nit-wit: I don't have XP [17:49] phpjim: so install from usb (just do not go to live session) should be ok [17:49] hello, why on youtube i have no comma on views? [17:50] nit-wit: gah, wait. When i said i installed it from XP i meant Win 7 [17:50] phpjim: eventually use alternative installer [17:50] I installed it from Win 7 [17:50] shcherbak: i was going to try the alternative installer next [17:50] stefanos: if it's less than 1,000 there won't be a comma [17:50] phpjim: usb might be faster [17:51] gobbe: thank you very much, it works ok now:) [17:51] usb is quite fast [17:51] usb ftw [17:51] no it is more than 100000 [17:51] Hey all, Iḿ having some trouble installing ubuntu. when i boot into the media, I can see the menu, but when I select install or load, the screen will go blank after some brief loading [17:51] stefanos: yes, kidding.. try different browsers? [17:51] goltoof: is right [17:51] phpjim, yes the alternate would be a good thing to try, you can use the upgrade if you have data that needs to be saved [17:52] I am using Dell Card for wireless . Can I use wireshark[kismet] to capture === fle77mm- is now known as flem77 [17:52] :P yes at firefox working, use chromium [17:52] Hey all, I just wanted to let you guys know, I finally took the leap and installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop.

[17:52] hi, did anybody use aircrack software? [17:52] phpjim, sorry not yet [17:52] stefanos: thats silly, use opers [17:52] mabe can help... [17:53] *opera* [17:53] opera? [17:53] shcherbak: i keep a bootable usb drive on my keychain.. nice knowing i can sit at any machine, run/install ubuntu and completely take it over if i want [17:53] dom96, post the bootscript there the author of the thread is on line and other experts [17:53] I don't know if this is the correct channel for this, but when I torrent things on ubuntu they don't seem to want to start up; either that or the down speed is ridiculously low whereas I get upwards of 2MB/s on Windows 7. How can I fix this? If this isn't the right channel can someone redirect me. [17:53] stefanos: opera is a client [17:53] stefanos: err, browser [17:53] nit-wit: All right [17:54] yes i know but chromium is better [17:54] stefanos: sudo apt-get install opera [17:54] phpjim, go ahea do the alternate install , the tiutorial doesn't seem to be available [17:54] Hey all, Iḿ having some trouble installing ubuntu. when i boot into the media, I can see the menu, but when I select install or load, the screen will go blank after some brief loading [17:54] Anyone got a SVN client they'd recommend? [17:54] stefanos: i agree.. not sure about the comma thing. chromium has it's share of bugs too [17:54] goltoof: i have shelf with small drawers and awesome numbers of usb-drives, I am too lazy to label them, so often running Hardy. [17:54] Inumedia: check out rabbit vcs [17:55] dom96, cool that will be your best move lots of good help here but your setup is a bit convoluted. [17:55] Will do [17:55] shcherbak: all you need is one ;) [17:56] nit-wit: I hope they will find a solution, i am actually very sad about this. [17:56] BluesKaj: so what advantages is the alternate installer giving me in this scenario? [17:56] mobius55, try the alternate instal;l if your pc is older or brand new [17:56] it's a feeling i can't even describe... [17:56] goltoof: em, have few only for certain tasks... anyway more == better [17:56] no i dont want change browser [17:56] BluesKaj: also, should i use the 10.10 alternate installer? [17:56] can anyone help me out with some installation issues??? [17:56] !ask [17:56] hey [17:56] 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).

[17:57] having some video issues when trying to install. I can get the installation menu up, but once I select an option the screen will go blank [17:57] phpjim, it is abasic text install, which then looks more closely at your pc hardware and gives driver and app options not available on the live cd [17:57] mdpatrick, which Ubuntu do you have installed and is it grub2 [17:58] !alternate | phpjim [17:58] phpjim: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[17:58] nit-wit: 10.10 [17:58] does ubuntu have compatibility issues with ATI cards? [17:58] nit-wit: I dont know what version of grub i have [17:59] stefanos: realize that chromium is less stable than chrome. chrome is the more stable build [18:00] yes but flash did't work there... [18:00] Slashx: you mean 9.10 > 10.10 [18:00] mdpatrick, make sure you make a ntfs partition with gparted from a live cd and put the boot flag on it so you can install to it and not make the Ubuntu unallocated then follow this to reinstall grub2 to the mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [18:00] having some video issues when trying to install. I can get the installation menu up, but once I select an option the screen will go blank, any thoughts? [18:00] shcherbak: Yeah [18:01] mdpatrick, if it is 10.10 a staraight install it is grub2 [18:01] I want to see if I can find the security patches or changes made [18:01] *straight [18:01] Slashx: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes [18:01] Is there a xorg configuration wizard in maverick?

[18:01] stefanos: not to blow you off, but you might find help in #chromium [18:01] nit-wit: OK, it's grub2 [18:02] to fix that, i'd suggest something like plop boot manager [18:02] nit-wit: I just downloaded the CD off the site last night, 64 bit, and ran the install [18:02] klamav | nyRednek [18:02] oops [18:02] anyone know what this is? i got it in klamav - heaurstics.broken.executable [18:02] !klamav | ny51bern === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:03] Slashx: too many links to chnagelog, araid go for ubuntugeek, or omgubuntu sites [18:03] Oh [18:03] !antivirus [18:03] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:03] how can I see who are connected to my router?? [18:03] Ubuntugeek and OMGUbuntu are good sites? [18:03] mdpatrick, main thing here is the pre-formatted ntfs to install W7 to otherwise it will build 2 partitons a 200 MIB boot and the OS if this is done with the W7 doing the partitioning you will have the partition next to the OS go unallocated [18:03] BluesKaj: i got XP on this comp too. using it to scan there.. but it came back with heaurstics.broken.executable [18:03] Slashx: always been here...

I haven't installed windows 7 yet. Ubuntu is running fine. I understand windows will try to install its own bootloader. Is there a way to avoid that altogether, or do I have to let it install and then try to fix grub with the ubuntu live cd after the fact? [18:06] ny51bern, maybe the ppl at #windows can help you [18:06] i keep losing video when booting into the ubuntu installer, I can see the menu, but after making the selection, i will loose video, any thoughts? [18:07] mdpatrick, the bootloader is no big deal that goes in the mbr, it is allowing W7 to partition a unallocated space that will make the next partition next to it go unallocated [18:07] BluesKaj: eh, they offer no help [18:08] nit-wit: How do I get around that? [18:08] I need to keep everyone off a web server except localhost. I've read about the directory section of httpd.conf, but mine is blank. I don't see any directory section of apache2.conf either, and am wondering if I need to add stuff to that or if I should be putting stuff like this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apache-restrict-access-based-on-ip-address-to-selected-directories/ in some other file. Meh? [18:08] mdpatrick, many ubuntu users have lost their setups due to not just building that ntfs first and W7 will instll everything to ine partition rather then build 2 [18:08] hey all [18:09] craigbass1976: I'd use iptables. [18:09] nit-wit: What do you suggest for building the NTFS partition first??? [18:09] hi [18:09] where is ubuntu ISO in installation folder of ubuntu? [18:09] KB1JWQ, Why? Wouldn't it be easier jsut to restrict anyone but localhost to apache? It's a laptop that has dev sites on it. [18:10] nit-wit: Tools-wise. The last tool I used to manually change a partition was... fdisk? I think? from a windows floppy forever and a day ago? [18:10] mdpatrick, use gparted on the live 10.10 cd turn off the swap shrink Ubuntu, then in the unallocated space make a ntfs partition right click the ntfs then flags and click boot. Make sure you do all of this from a live Ubuntu cd and that you turn the swap off before resizing Ubuntu [18:10] craigbass1976: In that case why not just tell apache to listen only on localhost? [18:10] hey all. im running ubuntu on a laptop with ATI radeon video. how do i install ATI? [18:10] craigbass1976: in the virtual host directive for the default host, let it bind to 127.0.0.1:80 instead of *:80 [18:10] KB1JWQ, in apache2.conf? [18:11] Im having trouble getting Startup Disk Creator to install the bootloader on my USB drive. I keep getting a "failed to install bootloader" error. [18:11] i'm considering getting a laptop with nvidia geforce 310m/intel optimus. i know that's not supported on linux but is it easy enough to turn off intel in favour of 310m in ubuntu? [18:11] nit-wit: Is "swap shrink" an option I'll see when I run gparted from the live cd??? [18:12] ny51bern using an av in ubuntu? [18:12] mdpatrick, hold on what do you mean by swap shrink [18:12] AnggaDj98: scanning Xp with it [18:13] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download-- is there ISO after ubuntu installation? [18:13] b00tles_, make sure you freshly format the thumb to fat32 before installing [18:13] should I use the text based installation as opposed to the graphical if I cant get a display on the graphical? does this make a difference with ati cards? [18:13] i have ubuntu installed in C:\ubuntu [18:13] AnggaDj98: you familiar with KlamAV? [18:13] nit-wit: Oh I see you mean... turn off the swap, then shrink ubuntu. What do you mean by "turn off the swap"? [18:13] nit-wit: I think I have NTFS format now. Thanks, Ill give that a shot. [18:14] mobius55: you could try to pass fb=false vga=771 to the kernel [18:14] how do i stop and start the RPC daemon? [18:14] suspectx: umm, can you elaborate? [18:15] mdpatrick, the swap is a rught click then turn off you will see a lock on it and the exteneded until you do. Most people have the Ubuntu and the swap in a exteneded . Always turn the swap off when messing with partitions [18:16] ;) [18:16] mdpatrick, feel free to take a screen shot of gparted if you like [18:16] mobius55: on the boot prompt, hit f6 to show the kernel boot params, delete the "---" and "quiet splash" and add "fb=false vga=771" this will fire up a graphical installer [18:16] BluesKaj: running the alternate cd intall now... hopefully it works out =\ [18:16] nit-wit: Thank you! OK, now about grub2... hehe... how do I fix that after W7 install? [18:16] mobius55: usually this works, if not, try "cli" installation [18:16] I have a dual installtion of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 8.10. I have found there is a drastic difference in volume levels between the two OSes. Ubuntu 8.10 has a very feeble output.Any ideas? [18:17] phpjim, hope is operative word [18:17] mdpatrick, just follow this link, two commands.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [18:17] Is there a way to get the indicator applet to indicate more noticibly when someone messages me in Empathy? Like, can we make it flash or something? [18:17] I trying to configure mdraid on my ubuntu system, but I can't get the kernel to detect the array. When I boot from a live CD it detects the array just fine [18:17] kuriouss, open alasmixer, crank up the ctrls [18:17] well bless me. I didnt have to ask. Googled then found "Disk Usage Analyzer" in apps>accessories. - So now I'm thinking, is it in Control Center (a gizmo I found that shows all the system options in a window instead of a menu) and there is "Disc Utility". -- I found some page for Windows users using Ubuntu. This broadened my ideas of where to look. And to realize I'm still "thinking windows". - Happy Holidays of lights! [18:17] suspectx: the main issue that im having is that i loose video once I make a selection from the installation menu using the live installation, just want to be clear [18:18] nit-wit: You rule... One day when I have real moneys I'm going to buy people like you a beer. Thanks a ton. Your name is very ironic. :) [18:18] tripelb: also man du [18:18] mdpatrick, this is an area I'm specialize in boot problems [18:18] !netsplit [18:18] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [18:19] mobius55: sure, had the same here on new shiny dell notebook, I could only use "cli". If you are unsure about kernel boot params, hit "F1" while in boot menu to get a quick overview, will clarify many things [18:19] nit-wit: I reformatted the USB drive to FAT, and tried to install the bootloader again. Still getting an error. Now it just says "Installation Failed." [18:19] I am going to sleeping now ! [18:19] good bye guys! [18:19] b00tles_, do you need the persitance [18:19] What do you mean? [18:19] *persistence [18:20] suspectx: thanks for the help, will try [18:20] nit-wit: what do you mean? [18:20] mobius55: good luck, come back if unsure [18:20] b00tles_, the persistence allows saved changes limited though [18:20] will do [18:20] non dago? [18:20] nit-wit: I have no idea what this means. [18:21] hey [18:21] i accidently overwrote a log file and I am trying to get it back. filesystem is using ext3. are there any built in utils that can do this? [18:22] tried to update my 10.04 system and aptitude downloads and install all kinds of Mono packages right now - do I need them? would it be safe to remove them? [18:22] b00tles_, this is another good loader that has no persistence. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ the pesistence means that if you wanted a thumb loaded and wanted you add anything the persistence part allows this a casper-rw file=memory [18:22] nit-wit: I see. Lemme try that loader and see how it goes. [18:22] goltoof - thanks. And that reminds me, there's something -h that I have used but forgot. If you remind me I'd get even happier. [18:22] b00tles_, are you just loading it to install? [18:23] Nit-wit: yea. I want to upgrade from 9.* [18:23] Anyone here use t-mobile? [18:24] b00tles_, this will be a fresh install so it will over write the 9 if you install in the same partition not upgrade [18:24] goltoof - amazing. I looked in the terminal history. First I went back a long time, them started looking and foundit it!! df -h [18:24] nit-wit yea I know. I keep everything I want on an external drive and wipe by onboard regularly. [18:25] b00tles_, yor a smarty person thats the way it should be done.:) [18:25] Is there a way to get the indicator applet to indicate more noticibly when someone messages me in Empathy? Like, can we make it flash or something? [18:25] nit-wit Im probably going to RM it for fun before rebooting into the bootable media. [18:26] b00tles_, I would wipe it first with gparted [18:26] tripelb: the -h command is common among many apps, and pretty much stands for "human readable".. ps -h, du -h, df -h, etc [18:26] hey, i have a program that expects some files somewhere, but i dont know where it expects them, so i was wondering if its possible to see which files a program tries to access [18:26] lieuwe: strace [18:26] goltoof, thanks. (I found http://www.watchingthenet.com/ubuntu-guide-for-windows-users-how-to-check-hard-drive-disk-space.html) [18:26] I want to synchronize a folder on my windows machine with a the htdocs folder of apache on my ubuntu machine. What's the best way to go about this? [18:26] tripelb: df -h might be more what you're looking for [18:27] b00tles_, use gparted on the thumb then install [18:27] suspectx: thanks [18:27] tripelb: coolio [18:27] It has to update the apache folder everytime I save anything.

[19:30] can someone tell this newbe how to run an exploit on a target [19:30] What's the easiest way to switch between a usb headset/mic and analog speakers plugged into the sound card without resorting to unplugging the headset? Keep in mind this is on Kubuntu which doesn't use pulseaudio. [19:31] histo, reinstalling alsa didn't solve it. Video is still glichy, too (just thought it was audio causing video to glich as well.) What should be reinstalled/configured for video playback? [19:31] ~seen dome22xl [19:31] will someone tell this newbe how to run an exploit on a target [19:31] !seen dome22xl [19:31] I have no seen command [19:31] marks256: what kind of video card do you have now?

[19:32] histo, Same as last time. nvidia 8600gt. i wouldn't think nvidia drivers would need to be reinstalled, would they? [19:32] well that sucks [19:32] _psychic_ what version? [19:32] I have been hearing banshee became default player for ubuntu, but after updating my buntu, why theres no banshee? old users have to like add it themselves?? [19:32] marks256: is this a newly installed system? [19:33] <_psychic_> Jonnei: 10.10 [19:33] marks256: not unless the kernel changed they should be fine [19:33] gah... think i've missed something big such as paragon extfs (given it really works) [19:33] <_psychic_> Jonnei: just downloaded it and installed it today [19:33] _psychic_, how does recovery mode work (fail safe graphics)? [19:33] i'm considering getting a laptop with nvidia geforce 310m/intel optimus. i know that's not supported on linux but is it easy enough to turn off intel in favour of 310m in ubuntu?

[19:33] histo, every 5 mintues or so it just skipps a few frames. same for games [19:33] marks256: did you install the drivers manually or use System>Admin>Hardware drivers? [19:33] _psychic_, press shift on reboot until the GRUB menu appears [19:34] <_psychic_> gaz00: trying now [19:34] histo: the "star" ratings for mp3 you see in wmp [19:34] izinucs, that's not the problem. it was working before, but now that i have newer hardware, i'm sure things need to be reconfigured (too lazy to do a fresh install) [19:34] goltoof: I don't use windows so I have no idea what you guys are talking about. [19:34] marks256: answer the question and I might be able to point you in the right direction [19:35] <_psychic_> gaz00: do I just pick "resume normal boot"? [19:35] tas: if it puts the star rating in id3 tag then maybe you can but I doubt it does [19:35] I have a system hanging at boot after fsck saying init:udevtrigger main process(415) terminated with status 1 same about post-stop process and sda1 clean and then just blinking [19:35] histo: ? are you having a bad day? you asked what it was so i explained it [19:35] 10.04 64 bit [19:35] <_psychic_> gaz00: my bad it's failsafe graphics mode one [19:35] goltoof: No i'm not having a bad day are you?

[19:37] hi all) [19:37] marks256: ok.. perhaps you're in the same boat as me.. the driver utility installs the 195.x.x driver which I"ve found "not great" on my 8200 card. I installed the PPA X-Swat which has the latest nvidia drivers and will also update as new ones come out. That might fix your issue.. [19:37] histo: oh well thanks for your help, cya [19:37] My UBUNTU installation JusT got corrupted. I let update manager do its thing with downloading and installing. then it said i should restart. so i tell my friends goodbye. but when i hit restart, it started freaking out. it went to the login screen and repeatedly started trying to input my password with fail each time. it was almost like a script was brute forcing to login. i paniced so i... [19:37] ...just powered of manually. when i powered back on i selected ubuntu and i get an error for a split second displayed to me then the computer reboots where i choose between windows and ubuntu. etc. etc. [19:38] izinucs, PPA X-Swat? i'm unfamiliar with that. care to explain?

[19:45] BluesKaj, interesting [19:45] Hello....i need some help. A friend used my Ubuntu 10.04......now i have LOST my two screens that I toggle between. Usually in the lower right hand corner is two little screens...that i can click one or the other to toggle between................how do i make these come back? [19:45] goltoof, in wmp you rating is right next to the song, like in a column, but here have to go all the way to properties.. [19:45] izinucs, might as well. i was planning on doing a fresh install anyway, just down the road a ways. if i mess somehting up, nbd [19:45] marks256: what version ubuntu are you running? [19:45] tas: yea, it's incovenient.. weird theres no way see ratings right next to it [19:45] marks256, yesh , i find it odd , but ther 8400gs runs like crap on the newer driver [19:46] also usually i can hit ALT plus the Bright key to control the screen brightness......this also seems disabled. [19:46] goltoof, is there such way in banshee? [19:46] izinucs, 10.04 [19:46] BluesKaj, you can see a performance difference? [19:46] tas: you're importing from wmp, not itunes? [19:47] marks256: same as me but I'm running kubuntu.. and what's not playing right .. is it flash? [19:47] when i go to the monitor setup the screen setup is unknown anyway to force it ? [19:47] hey, does anyone know how/where I can get the date+time applet as an appindicator, and not a gnome-applet? Thanks! [19:47] goltoof, I had itunes, but itunes didn't use to write ratings to files, so in case of window reinstallation or itunes fail had to re-rate all songs. [19:48] goltoof, so i switched to wmp cuz it wrote ratings to files themselves :D [19:48] izinucs, no. when i'm doing anything media based (audio/video), every 5 minutes or so video skips a few frames, or audio slows down, then stops, then jumps to catch up with the stream. Not a big deal, but gets a bit annoying [19:48] marks256, yes, I tried to run desktop effects with new driver and X would crash, with older driver it's as smooth fast as silk [19:48] izinucs, what's your problem?

[19:49] goltoof:thank you [19:49] marks256: none now. if the skipping is at regular intervals and almost predictable. it might be the video drivers.. could be the settings in bios for the MB concerning video.. there's just a lot there to investigate === bubba is now known as Guest58444 [19:50] I only have 50 mg free [19:50] izinucs, i haven't really timed the intervals. i don't think they are predictable, however === sinusoid_ is now known as newtor [19:50] or is there a better way to resize my partitions?

If I select recovery, it does the same thing, but when it stops, I can use alt+ F7 to see the non working recovery mode menu.

[20:13] Last night, it wouldnt boot normally, but It did boot to failsafeX. I didnt change anything, but now it wont even get to the menu to select failsafeX [20:14] noreg when you attempted to boot normally what happened?

My mother just gave me her old laptop. It is a Compaq Presario 2100. I believe it has 256 RAM, 2.0ghz, WinXP Home. However, when I go to Properties it says it has 192 RAM. Would it be better for me to install Linux and if so should I go for the Netbook version of ubuntu or the desktop? Would it make any difference on which one I used? Would it increase the [20:44] preformance of the laptop?

[20:51] I'm tired of having to re-configure all the time... [20:51] armence_, I don't think so, if Network manager is messing with your changes then you should configure network manager properly [20:52] or not use network manager [20:52] armence_: configure NM to set the nameservers you want? [20:52] erUSUL: How? It looks like I have to do so on a per-network basis which is very aggravating [20:54] armence_: yes it is per network ( as it should be if you ask me ) [20:54] i prefer wicd to network manager armence [20:55] I'm getting an error with the ubuntu 10.10 live cd stating "can not mount /dev/loop0....." and it "failed while handling '/devices/virtual/block/loop0'" [20:55] i prefer to edit text files and remove network manager, It is hard to confgure (on kde) and i do not trust it, maybe it was fixed to work with static ip, i do not know [20:55] armence_: if you want to use different dns servers that dhcp specifies check http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2009/03/01/stop-your-dns-servers-from-changing-after-every-reboot-while-using-dhcp, I assume thats what your after [20:55] anyone beside me that experiences problem using empathy and google talk? Can't connect since yesterday or so.. [20:56] erUSUL: Well, I can understand why that is, but really, just about every network I use is on Comcast which means using their stupid DNS.

[21:18] dotblank someone just said 3 urls at the same time.. and i accidently parted :( [21:19] alright.. I got this laptop here which is an older laptop and kind of a project I am working on. I am running a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx that was released on April 2010 and it is running far too slow to be useable [21:19] is there a simple hex grabber out there? like the import algo, but for capturing hex to clipboard [21:19] Poisoned_Gold, on older hardware I would recommend I lighter distro say Xubuntu [21:19] Poisoned_Gold: mmm, sounds like it's too old to handle modern gnome. you could try xubuntu [21:19] !xubuntu [21:19] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [21:20] Poisoned_Gold: but since you have it installed already, just open a terminal and/or use the package manager to install "xubuntu-desktop" [21:20] how do i found out where an app was installed to? im trying to configure Gelide [21:20] WOO HOO thanks guys! That was what I was thinking but I wanted to double check before I tried [21:20] goltoof, Have you tried searching the software center for such a tool [21:20] who uses ubuntu servers for virt-maanger ? === brian is now known as Guest22866 [21:20] I'm having a problem that I never had on windows (or ubuntu before today) all the sudden my computer says "network disabled" [21:20] So I can't coneect to any internet [21:21] XiaolinDraconis: in a terminal, "sudo updatedb && locate gelide" [21:21] XiaolinDraconis, dpkg --listfiles [21:21] dotblank, i will, thanks for suggesting. just thought someone might know off the dome [21:21] Not even ethernet [21:21] second option looks more reasonable? [21:22] anyways thnx guys [21:22] davidjr621, was your computer recently resumed from sleep or do you have a hardware wifi switch? [21:22] I have a wifi switch [21:22] But its turned on [21:22] davidjr621, hardware wifi switches are a bit buggy [21:22] but its more likely it was a sleep / hibernate [21:23] davidjr621, i have solved that problem on mine by making sure its on when booting up and then toggling it once the machine is at desktop [21:23] davidjr621, you can try to check dmesg to see if anything bad happened [21:23] I never was in sleep or hibernate [21:23] !dmesg [21:23] dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [21:24] davidjr621, have you tried right clicking the network icon and re-enabling it [21:25] lf an expert in VLC to help me out :( [21:25] Ark0, maybe ask the vlc channel ? [21:25] I did this time [21:25] Thanks [21:25] I never knew about that one [21:25] dotblank: thanks a bunch [21:25] davidjr621, no problem [21:26] i always wondered.. Is it possible to take a mac and install linux on there? [21:27] Poisoned_Gold, yes I think it is [21:27] !ppc [21:27] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [21:27] Poisoned_Gold: yes. [21:27] !mac [21:27] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [21:27] Poisoned_Gold: ppc and intel macs are useable [21:27] hi [21:27] jeez you guys have all the answers on here [21:27] Poisoned_Gold: ive had lots of issues with PPC macs however. [21:27] Hi java [21:27] hi dotblank i am installing ubuntu on Oracle VM [21:27] i should select [21:27] javahorn: You mean in Virtualbox ? [21:27] Lilylnx Cosin [21:28] Dr_Willis: yes, so i should select [21:28] specify partitions manually [21:28] javahorn: do what you want. depends on your needs.. you can let it auto partion the virtual hd if you want. [21:28] Dr_Willis: Erase and use the Entire Disk will put my existing native data at risk, is not it? [21:28] javahorn, on a VM I would just use the recommended settings by the installer.. unless you would to do something unusual [21:29] javahorn: you may want to set up a / and /home and swap. - but its not that critical [21:29] Hi [21:29] javahorn: in VIRTUALBOX it uses virtual hard drives... you did make a new virtual hard drivbe? youia re not useing vbox to access a 'real' hard drive are you? [21:29] javahorn, well it depends on how you have vbox set-up ..Vbox will give a virtual hardrive so its safe unless you've been hacking the vmdk files [21:30] alright guys I did sudo apt-get install xbunutu command and it completed so now how do I apply it? [21:30] <.< dont judge me.. [21:30] When tryint to apt-get update I am getting this error?

However, "cd ~/long/path/name/ & foo" does work in a terminal.

Now I feel stupid brb I think I need to go do that real quick [21:39] Frenk_, yes it is possible with virtual hosts [21:39] Nyx_, try booting with nosplash [21:39] Nyx_, also try recovery mode [21:39] Nyx_, also try changing the terminal with the alt-f keys [21:40] dotblank, alrighty, will do that. Do I just edit the grub .conf file with the argument -nosplash> [21:40] dotblank: can you tell me how? I already have virtual hosts but if I put domain.com:3000 and another.com:3000 I have the same effect. I just need an explination or an example. I read about BIND and LISTEN but I don [21:40] 't know how to do that. [21:40] Nyx_, well I would append it to the grub runtime when its booting not in the config [21:40] but its your preference [21:41] What's the name of the build tools package in apt? [21:41] Frenk_, Im not super sharp on the config but there are many tutorials out there [21:41] !virtualhosts [21:41] !apache [21:41] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:41] compufreak, build-essentials ? [21:41] so um yeah it wasnt on the login screen [21:42] dotblank, so just add it to the boot command in GRUB then? [21:42] Poisoned_Gold, :( [21:42] maybe I missed a step somewhere [21:42] I have an issue, I need help with. I am planning on setting up Win7 on a Raid 0 setup. Software Raid. Which uses dev/sda and dev/sdb. I want to install ubuntu on /dev/sdc and make it the first bootable drive in the bios. In theory I have to make a grub entry do the mapping/ rootnoverify etc. But will that work if Windows is on the raid? Since it's spread across 2 drives instead of one? Will Grub be able to recognize it? [21:42] Nyx_, yes well pass it to the kernel as an argument [21:42] no "-" is needed for it [21:42] dotblank, ok, trying that right now [21:43] Poisoned_Gold, try installing XFCE [21:43] anybody knows how can i make vlc default program to open dvds? [21:43] using the sudo apt-get command correct? [21:44] can someone help me configure my wireless? [21:44] afuentes, I belive you can by using system-> preferences-> Prefered Applications [21:44] Poisoned_Gold, yes I think so [21:44] !xfce [21:44] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

Id just start vlc and tell it to play the dvd.. [21:45] Frenk_: In /etc/apache2/ports.conf you add the port 3000 you want apache to bind to, then add a virtualhost ServerName domain.ext [21:45] or make a shortcut for vlc that lanuches vlc with the prope roptions. [21:45] i am on the preferred applications but I dont see xcfe [21:46] hey cool I can change the terminal emulator! ^_^ [21:46] Poisoned_Gold, oh im sorry that was ment for someone else [21:46] oh lol oops [21:46] ?? anyone versed in wireless issues?

Now the screen is blank and the numlock and capslock lights are flashing slowly. Any suggestions on how to waken it? I tried switching off with power switch 5s and it does off but comes on in same state. [21:52] chkdsk: point taken... no need for more reason than that really. [21:52] piercedw1ter, you are going to have use some messy hacks with piping and fifos and other things but its very possible [21:52] this is what iwconfig list [21:52] http://pastebin.com/EHvibiwN [21:53] test [21:53] Tommo, if the keyboard lights are flashing, your computer has probably crashed. [21:53] my mathematician friend recommended ubuntu server with kvm [21:53] how do a copy more than one file at once, if the have different filenames or are in different locations. I'm using "cp file1 && cp file2" which is pretty messy. is there an easier way? [21:53] cheteen, This is actually a common complaint right now. Work is being done on a new display manager that allows more custimization of the logins screen [21:53] i'd like to run simulations [21:54] Buddha-Dharma, do you get any errors in dmesg? [21:54] chkdsk: post #27? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930700 [21:54] Sean93, yes you can use wildcards [21:54] let me see [21:54] piercedw1ter: Use firefly and configure it with --enable-flac. I've never used it that way, but a friend of mine does. [21:54] Sean93, ex) cp *.jpg ~/someotherfolder [21:55] does anyone know how to fix the mozilla-vlc-plugin? i always get "video loading" [21:55] chkdsk: sorry, meant post #7... not 27... post #8 looks informative as well [21:55] KM0201, do you mean post #2 or post #7, there's only 8 posts in that thread [21:55] Ah, okay [21:55] BernardV: I'll give it a try. Thanks. [21:55] ZykoticK9: cheers - keyboard light are flashing regularly and slowly, no noises, no screen, no nothing. Hard boot hasn't helped. Going to try reboot from ssh now... [21:55] Hey - I'm running Sound Juicer on Ubuntu 10.04 - trying to rip the tracks as mp3 - I can see the option in "Edit > Preferences > Edit Profiles" but in the "Edit > Preferences > Format > Output Format" it won't let me choose mp3 - anyone have a clue why? [21:55] do you want me to pastebin the results? [21:55] Tommo, seems like a kernel panic [21:55] dotblank, i know but what if there is no way to use wild cards, is there a way to say "copy this and this to here" [21:55] !kernelpanic [21:55] piercedw1ter: What is the client you're using? [21:55] aww [21:56] oke Im Looking now but I think in this site have a themes screen login I cant apply [21:56] really really noob question, is there a way to SAFELY shut down the 'GUI' interface of ubuntu and be 'terminal' only.. and how would one start it back up safely? [21:56] Sean93, (I think) you can just do cp file1 file2 destination [21:56] http://pastebin.com/Kn6nvLks [21:56] I'm brand new to linux so please excuse me [21:56] jon8, "sudo service gdm stop" [21:56] ZykoticK9 thank you very much :) [21:57] ZykoticK9 really appriciate that :) [21:57] dotblank oke Im Looking now but I think in this site have a themes screen login I cant apply http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter [21:57] piercedw1ter: Because if it's iTunes or a client that can see iTunes shares, firefly is easy to use. Just ssh -L port:localhost:port and announce it localy.. [21:57] cheteen, yea It sucks.. currently its a pain.. the latest gdm nixed that... Work is being done on LightDM though [21:57] dotblank, it seems that I cannot get grub to let me edit the commands in the menu. Is it possible my installation of grub isn't working correctly?

[22:00] cheteen, im not too sure :( you would have to roll back gdm [22:00] which is really a pain [22:00] Buddha-Dharma, aye [22:00] dotblank how I can install lightDM === flyc0r is now known as fly === fly is now known as flykor [22:01] cheteen, light DM is currently under development. I would not advise installing it also everything on gnome-look is not ment for lightDM its the future though and if you feel adventurous you can program your own login windows with it [22:01] ok [22:01] GaryD tweak in 10.10 its not used [22:02] cheteen: i am using it on ubuntu 10.10 right now.

[22:07] thank you very much [22:07] OxCart: np [22:07] now i can compute from my bed in paece [22:07] night all and happy new year [22:07] happy holidays === dotblank is now known as dotblank-away [22:09] Hey there folks, trying to merge 2 partitions together....followed a few tutorials using gparted, couldnt figure it out >_< any help? [22:09] I'm on my virtual ubuntu box right now booted up on a live CD [22:09] I tried to resize, but cant seem to actually merge them together [22:09] dotblank, well, now I upgraded grub, but I don't even see a menu when I reboot. Is this some kind of setting I can change? [22:09] I can delete one of the partitions (its extra space) [22:09] but the other is my development partition and cannot be deleted [22:09] any ideas? [22:10] dotblank is stuffing his face hole [22:10] RailsDeveloper: as far as i kbnow you DONT 'merge' them. you shrink #2, enlarge #1. copy data over... repeat [22:11] Is there a configuration to lockout a user's session when the same account successfully authenticates using VNC? [22:11] RailsDeveloper, is there anything on those partitions you wish to keep? [22:11] Dr_Willis: what will that do though? I'm have two 8gb partitions, I want to have ONE whole 16gb partition [22:11] when #2 is empty - delete it. [22:11] Nyx_: on the first one (my bootable) yes [22:12] RailsDeveloper: I think the same as Dr_Willis and for resizing the partitions have to be aligned next to each other, it can't be done when for example your dev parition is between them [22:12] RailsDeveloper: and how big total is the data? shrink 1, enlarge other.. copy data over.. [22:12] ahhh [22:12] RailsDeveloper, have you tried deleting the second partition, then resizing the first? [22:12] when i try to play a dvd it says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" If i tell totem to search for stuff it cant find anything. Does anybody know what can i do? [22:12] Nyx_: yes, it says max size is 8gb [22:12] windows has detected that I moved my mouse and now needs me to restart what do I do? [22:12] Because that's what I set it up as intiially in virtualbox [22:12] Dr_Willis: is there any admin kind of username/password, as though right username and password, i get Authentication failure message while trying to log in!! [22:12] I'll try the suggestion and get back to you =D [22:13] Namaste [22:13] RailsDeveloper, huh, that's strange. I've never really had that issue [22:13] ... if I try to remote into Ubuntu and have not logged off, then there is no way to terminal in. [22:13] afuentes, have you added DVD support? http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback [22:14] javahorn, are you trying to log in graphically or in a console? [22:14] Nyx_: Can you run boot info scipt from a liveCD as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [22:14] ZykoticK9: graphically on Oracle VM box [22:14] ubuntu is installed there [22:15] Nyx_: Is there a quick way to image from partition to partition? [22:15] javahorn, modern Ubuntu versions will only allow a user to log in once to Xorg - either create a new user, or log in through ssh console type thing. [22:15] like mirror one partition to the other [22:15] just noticed, when i hold down my mouse wheel it does NOT auto scroll down a browser page. Any idea how to enable? [22:17] Can someone help me please? [22:17] I am getting: [22:17] BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) [22:17] When i try to install 10.10 [22:18] bad iso [22:18] i believe [22:18] =X [22:18] dont quote me [22:18] RailsDeveloper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:18] It was from their sitw [22:18] can someone please tell me how to install and apply xubuntu on this machine [22:18] Site [22:19] ZykoticK9: right ctrl key is what to regain control? [22:19] Poisoned_Gold: are you already using Ubuntu? [22:19] yeah xD but it is too slow on this old laptop [22:19] Poisoned_Gold, I'm assuming you have the install disk [22:19] so dotblank told me to get xubuntu [22:19] its time to backup my BTTF trilogy, its a little (lot) worn, im a nub on linux with dvd ripping, I wanna make a backup, whats best? [22:19] then in terminal -- sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:20] ohhh i did sudo apt-get install xubuntu [22:20] kay let me try [22:20] I can't seem to copy partitions =\ [22:21] Poisoned_Gold: depending on whether you like the standard Windows/KDE layout, another fast desktop which works well is lxde, just in terminal -- sudo apt-get install lxde, then choose it at your login screen as the desktop to use. [22:21] RailsDeveloper, you don't usually copy partitions, you copy the data ON the partition [22:21] RailsDeveloper: what exactly is it you're trying to do? [22:21] I need to set up RAID; I've already got linux installed, but it's too late now, right? I've got to grab the server version of ubuntu and start again? [22:22] lxde? which is a better layout.. oh i am sorry more like which do you perfer? [22:22] HollowPoint, He has two partitions of 8gb, but he wants 1 partition of 16gb, and is having issues with gparted [22:22] ok quick question. I have a dell inspiron e1505 laptop that has the (mute, vol up and down, play pause etc" buttons on the front. they work with movie player but i prefer vlc. can i set up vlc to use these buttons and if so how. (ubuntu 10.10) [22:22] I swap between Gnome, KDE4, Gnome3 and LXDE, depending on my mood and my task Poisoned_Gold [22:22] does sni work in a stock version of apache2 on ubuntu 10.10? [22:22] Nyx_: yikes [22:23] okay i did the sudo apt-get command and it came out with unable to getch some archives. maybe run apt-get update [22:23] Poisoned_Gold: ok, so run sudo apt-get update [22:23] RailsDeveloper: do you have data on the second partition? [22:23] command not found? [22:24] Poisoned_Gold: it cannot find -- sudo apt-get update [22:24] HollowPoint, from what I've read, he has tried deleting part. 2 and resizing 1, but gparted won't let him. dotblank suggested something, but I kinda missed it [22:24] ? [22:24] is it possible to make the computer connect to the wireless each time i turn on the computer without asking me for a password? [22:24] afuentes: yes it is, but it's less secure [22:25] i did sudo apt-get update [22:25] it worked === petr is now known as Guest34415 [22:25] HollowPoint: no sir [22:25] I dont care HollowPoint, every person who has phisical access to this computer is allowed to know the wireless password anyway [22:25] afuentes: delete the password from system > admin [22:25] RailsDeveloper: are you trying to use GParted live CD or GParted application within Ubuntu? [22:25] HollowPoint: im on a ubuntu live cd using gparted [22:25] afuentes: as cptblood said [22:25] anyone having trouble with ubuntu 10.10 installer not seeing your harddrives? [22:25] HI [22:26] soooo i guess thats technically gparted live cd? lol [22:26] where is Russian channel? [22:26] !ru | Guest34415 [22:26] Guest34415: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [22:26] I was banned heer!!! [22:26] I was banned here!!! [22:26] RailsDeveloper: lol not quite, you're probably better off downloading the GParted liveCD itself, with that, you should have no problem deleting partition 2 and re-sizing partition 1 [22:26] what should I do? [22:26] Hey, guys I tried installing 2 different distros to one flash drive. Everything's properly partitioned, but during boot Ubuntu tries to search for /dev/sdb3. This doesn't make it portable as in other machines the flash drive might not be booted as such. [22:26] sorry cptblood system > admin and then? [22:27] I haven't had a problem doing that, but i'll give it a shot and let you know if it doesn't work [22:27] Hi, is there any way to encode videos in WMV9 format under linux ? [22:27] Thanks :) [22:27] afuentes: dont have the exact path, but should be passwords [22:27] Can you guys tell me which .conf files specify a drive so I can change it's value to it's vol_id [22:27] ?? [22:27] JohnnyJet: Why would you want to do that? [22:27] does another russian chennals exist? [22:27] Jose[1]: do u mean /etc/fstab ? [22:27] Fapton_Calcon, my sony mp3 player only supports WMV9 [22:27] Already changed that one [22:28] Jose[1]: claify what you are trying to do exactly. [22:28] afuentes: if all else fails, go into wireless management, then delete the connection, set the connection up again and when prompted for your keyring/wallet password, click cancel [22:28] clarify [22:28] but I'm still getting a problem [22:28] I'm trying to run 2 different distros from one flash drive [22:28] does sni work in a stock version of apache2 on ubuntu 10.10? [22:28] JohnnyJet: Oh. Hmmm, I'm not sure, but you could try avidemux? [22:28] hello, a little question: how can i mount a server like a harddrive? [22:28] thanks HollowPoint :) === charlie is now known as Guest59397 [22:28] dustball: sshfs [22:29] Dr_Willis: thanks [22:29] sshfs is brilliant [22:29] grub detects both, and I'm able to boot into one but ubuntu drops into initramfs's box after an error saying /dev/sdb3 couldn't be found (that's the partition where ubuntu is) === andy is now known as xtknight [22:29] hey need a little help i'm using a Gigabyte GA-965-ds3 i'm using a 250gb sata harddrive ubuntu installer is not seeing my drive but if i exit installer and run gparted from the live os i can see my drive is anyone having simular issues and know a work around? [22:29] SO WHAT??? IF I AM RUSSIANS YOU IGNORE ME??? [22:29] I changed /etc/fstab to use the uuid instead so it would boot [22:29] still doesn't work [22:29] Jose[1]: update /boot/menu/grub.conf maybe [22:29] !ru [22:29] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [22:29] Hi guys, I want to setup wireless network at home. I have two laptops and a wireless router. What is the simplest way to do this. Thx [22:29] Dr_Willis: I was banned on ru !!! [22:29] Jose[1]: the fstab is used after the sytem boots... [22:30] Guest34415: and thats my fault? [22:30] Guest34415: no, but if you were banned from -ru, there might be a good reason for it [22:30] YES Dr_Willis [22:30] sigh [22:30] Guest34415: i dont think so. [22:30] lmao [22:30] HollowPoint: ??? me? [22:30] staying well out of your troubles Guest34415 [22:30] you all hates russians? [22:31] Guest34415: given how i dont know any... not really [22:31] does sni work in a stock version of apache2 on ubuntu 10.10? [22:31] we dont hate them, just ignore them :p [22:31] kay now i am frustrated -.- [22:31] how come Poisoned_Gold [22:31] was easier getting help when ubuntu was smaller /sigh [22:31] I have a system hanging at boot after fsck saying init:udevtrigger main process(415) terminated with status 1 same about post-stop process and sda1 clean and then just blinking [22:31] whats up mymrhelpdesk [22:31] Poisoned_Gold sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, logout, select session, login..... and xubuntu is not exactly for low spec systems. [22:31] mymrhelpdesk: it's still by far the easiest distro to get help w/ [22:31] because xubuntu wont install >.< [22:31] Okay, I'll check the grub on a different machine, will be right back [22:32] i did that and i logout went to session and its not there [22:32] on a desktop so I'll have to move somewhere else [22:32] Poisoned_Gold: so neither XFCE nor Xubuntu shows up in your desktop liost? [22:32] list* [22:32] negative [22:32] did i miss a step? [22:32] Poisoned_Gold are you using ubuntu? [22:32] hello, I installed 10.10 but now it shows me that I'm using 11.04... I haven't changed any update configurations [22:32] yes i am [22:32] what is the ubuntu server channel? [22:33] tf2ftw, #ubuntu-server [22:33] ZykoticK9, thanks [22:33] Poisoned_Gold what is on the sessions list? [22:33] Poisoned_Gold: did you get an error when you did -- sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop? [22:34] on the sessions list i had gnome, gnome-failsafe (whatever that is) and some other one that just gave me a terminal and thats it [22:34] let me try hollow point [22:34] its working that command out now [22:35] hi [22:35] Poisoned_Gold: ok [22:35] 0131 am from turkiye [22:35] Dr_Willis: ops does not answer [22:35] btw how do you do that? talk to me in red? [22:35] * Dr_Willis wonders what Poisoned_Gold means [22:36] that dr_willis [22:36] how do you do that [22:36] I mention your name, like this Poisoned_Gold [22:36] any htaccess hackors in the bunch? [22:36] Poisoned_Gold: im not.. its yoiur irc client [22:36] then your IRC client flags up that it has your name in it and highlights it [22:36] Dont jerk me around i require your secrets [22:36] xD lol [22:36] Poisoned_Gold: lol [22:36] Poisoned_Gold: read your irc client docs/features :) [22:37] * Dr_Willis uses the /me command [22:37] !tab | Poisoned_Gold: [22:37] Poisoned_Gold:: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:37] okay, I had already changed the grub file to use uuid [22:37] * HollowPoint agrees violently [22:37] still no dice, I'll explain some more. Ubuntu was installed on a different machine and there the flash drive is mounted as sdb, but on mine it mounts as sdc [22:37] HollowPoint, whoa dude check that out! [22:38] * Poisoned_Gold loves thats [22:38] dotblank: thanks for kernel panic observation (many screens ago!). Managed to successfully reboot eventually by powering down using hardware switch, removing mains and battery power then booting with only mains power. Seems OK now and girlfriend is now happy. Thanks again. [22:38] * Poisoned_Gold is amused [22:38] and during bootup, it can't find the partition sdb3 then, so it drops into initramfs. Any other conf file that has settings for /dev/[drive]? [22:38] dotblank is recharging his battaries [22:38] Jose[1]: one one problem setup - i made several 'extra' grub entries - one that used each sdXX letter. as the only differance. [22:38] hi guys [22:39] hi qazster [22:39] hahah love the tab button [22:39] anyone here have experience fixing/debugging ata3 exceptions ? I get many freezes/day related to ata3 hangs and can't seem to make progress. [22:39] joeyeye: none whatsoever, sorry [22:40] Dr_Willis, I'm afraid I don't quite follow that. Can you state that again please? [22:40] joeyeye, did you try utalizing your hopes and dreams? [22:40] HollowPoint, thanks for responding. [22:40] joeyeye: np [22:40] joeyeye, most likely sounds like a bad hard disk [22:40] Jose[1]: grub config has options in it as to what to use for the root and other partitions. I set up extra grub entries for each hard drive that my usb flash drive could be. ie: hd0 hd1 and so on. [22:41] Poisoned_Gold, no I didn't but I am quite frustrated with it [22:41] Oh, and that worked? [22:41] Jose[1]: ive seen some cases where booting from a USB flash drive. it would get assigned sda. - otjer machines dont work that way,. [22:41] Anyone, where can I find the settings for the fan on my Dell Inspiron 8200 with ubuntu maverick. The fan is always on - the CPU use is abou 4%. [22:41] How do you get the Ubuntu CD to boot from an external USB DVD/RW? [22:41] joeyeye, i am sorry I kind of figured that would make you smile.. I fail at making people smile.. okay I wont bother you anymore lol [22:41] Jose[1]: it pays to learn grub very well. [22:42] d1g1ta1: just set the bios to boot from it.if the bios can. [22:42] ZykoticK9, I'm not convinced the HD is failing, as this only happens under load. [22:42] Yah, I've begun to learn so. Isn't using the uuid of the device supposed to fix that, as that never changes though? [22:42] or does grub sometimes just skip not read that? [22:42] Poisoned_Gold, that's ok, I thought perhaps you've also research and found no resolution [22:42] d1g1ta1: you may have to use your boot menu, which is usually F12 on Dells, and you may have to select USB Device or USB Floppy, because it won't always register it as a USB CDROM [22:43] hey what's the virtual machine channel callled? [22:43] ZykoticK9, all SMART test pass, and drive temp is 33 degrees C [22:43] Dr_Willis: I set the external USB drive as the 1st device in the boot order and when I boot up the PC it says "Searching for the Boot Record from USB CDROM..." and nothing happens. [22:43] joeyeye, i am a 1 year script kitty noob nugget I have no earthly idea what you are talking about [22:43] does anyone in here know how to drop into a root command line with no xorg? [22:43] d1g1ta1: Dr_Willis: Using UUIDs is definitely the way to go. [22:43] HollowPoint: I did, see my last post [22:43] joeyeye, that's why i said "most likely" - i have no idea man, best of luck. [22:43] Jose[1]: root=UUID=cfdc2a1d-9909-4824-bb61 is in my grub.cfg here... [22:43] Jordan_U: I don't have the OS running, what point is using UUIDs? [22:44] anyone have experience importing a win7 guest on ubuntu with virtual machine? [22:44] d1g1ta1: yeah but as I said in my last post, you may have to choose USB Floppy instead, they don't always register correctly in the boot menu [22:44] Jordan_U: I'm trying to boot for the initial setup. [22:44] Nyx_: alt ctrl F4 [22:44] HollowPoint: It shows USB CDROM, there's not USB floppy in the list [22:44] Alright, I'm gonna go sift through some of the grub files, will be back shortly [22:44] d1g1ta1: Sorry, that was meant for Jose[1] [22:44] i think it worked! [22:44] alright i am going to go see if its in my sessions now [22:44] alguien que hable español me ayuda con drivers de sonido? [22:44] brb [22:45] !es | snow_ [22:45] snow_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [22:45] It goes on to say "Boot record from USB CDROM not found" [22:45] stefano_, there's a couple of guides on the www for virtualbox and vmware on how to do this. It's not trivial, but quite doable. [22:45] i [22:45] d1g1ta1: are there any other USB device options in your boot list? Have you verified the checksum of the burned CD/DVD? etc. [22:45] HollowPoint, Thank you much! [22:47] HollowPoint: I tested the DVD in another system, there are no other USB device options in the boot list [22:47] d1g1ta1: interesting, have you ever booted that particular machine from CD before? [22:47] Hi there!!!! is there any SIP-Tool wich is to be used in terminal?! [22:48] TURKYE [22:48] TURKEY [22:48] HollowPoint, while this does drop me into command line, Xorg is still running in the background. Is it possible to kill Xorg so it won't respawn? [22:48] berkebatuhan: Please stop that. [22:48] HollowPoint: yes, with the build in CD ROM drive, but not with the external USB DVD RW (which works on other systems as well) [22:48] d1g1ta1: just a silly question, but you say it's a DVD, is the USB drive a DVD drive or a CD drive? [22:49] Nyx_: sudo service kdm/gdm stop [22:49] HollowPoint: DVD/RW, the system refers to it as USB CDROM [22:49] Nyx_: dependant on which you are using obviously [22:49] d1g1ta1: it's possible that it's not registering it as a DVD drive in the bios, you may have to use a boot CD rather than DVD [22:49] HollowPoint, thanks [22:49] How do I get a user to log in automatically on boot? [22:50] 5 [22:50] rallias: are you using Gnome or KDE or XFCE etc? [22:50] rallias gdm has options to do that [22:50] HollowPoint: Gnome [22:50] as does KDM [22:50] Dr_Willis: How? The method I remember doesn't work anymore. [22:50] in Gnome, go to system > login screen [22:50] HollowPoint: oh, so a P4 system might not recognize DVD drives, only CD ROM drives? [22:50] rallias: from there you should be able to set an auto login user [22:50] rallias: it works fine for me. [22:51] d1g1ta1: it's a Pentium 4 machine? Then most likely not [22:51] it woorked! [22:51] Dr_Willis, HollowPoint: Thanks [22:51] HollowPoint: Can you upgrade the BIOS to recognize DVDs? [22:51] EXIT [22:51] Poisoned_Gold: you now have XFCE? [22:51] no that is next! [22:51] * Poisoned_Gold is overjoyed [22:52] HollowPoint: But I put DVD RW drives in PIII systems and they work [22:52] d1g1ta1: you can always upgrade the BIOS, whether it'll recognise a DVD drive at boot or not when it's a P4 I don't know, but I can say I doubt it [22:52] is xfce good for older laptops? [22:52] d1g1ta1: yes but on a USB drive? [22:52] new install here, no video, this article helped with the install but post-install it didn't work, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [22:52] i have xubuntu [22:52] quit: leaving [22:52] Poisoned_Gold: xfce is good for older systems yes, it's less heavyweight than Gnome and KDE [22:52] HollowPoint: oh, so if I get an internal DVD RW it should work? [22:52] Poisoned_Gold: what's excellent for old laptops is LXDE, I've found... [22:53] HollowPoint, than that is what i need! [22:53] Poisoned_Gold: xfce is good too [22:53] lxde is what i need to get.. okay first step? [22:53] d1g1ta1: possibly yes, but without seeing the system I can't be positive obviously, DVD drives were still quite new back when that chip was made, so you may still struggle at boot time, mostly those were made to work with software after boot in earlier systems [22:53] i feel like an idiot.. but i am trying to update my Ubuntu 10.04 system with better resolution to my video driver. but I can not seem to be able to find xorg.conf (at least not where I would expect). it isn't at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. and not sure what xorg is using when it boots... I am getting frustrated. [22:53] Poisoned_Gold: sudo apt-get install lxde [22:53] hey guys [22:53] Poisoned_Gold, HollowPoint xfce is actually very close to Gnome requirements actually - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 [22:54] is there a way to resort to nvidia-only in ubuntu for laptops that have optimus graphics [22:54] d1g1ta1: Can you try using a flash drive to boot instead? [22:54] i am trying to find my terminal on xubunut [22:54] xubuntu* [22:54] dotblank-away: I got "Launcher" to work with cd followed by ./foo. A developer in a nearby channel posted this example launch string: bash -c 'cd /usr/lib/xscreensaver; ./antspotlight' Hope that helps you in the future. Thanks again for your help. [22:54] umm guys is there a package i can install for archive manager to view/open .7z files? [22:54] p7zip [22:54] Poisoned_Gold: its xubuntu-desktop [22:55] AnggaDj98: he's already got xubuntu-desktop installed and is using it [22:55] LonelyDragon757: Xorg does not need an xorg.conf by default, so none is provided. You can still create one in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it will be used. [22:55] Robinux, you could try p7zip-full, but i'm not sure it will integrate with archive manager [22:55] found it! sorry AnggaDj98 [22:55] HollowPoint: ok so what is the problem? === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [22:55] ZykoticK9, Robinux does [22:55] AnggaDj98: he was looking for how to start the terminal in XFCE but he found it [22:55] i see Zykotick9 [22:55] ok... everytime I create one then... it messes up... and not sure how to configure the xorg so it would boot properly? [22:55] oh [22:55] mongy, ur saying it does integrate? [22:56] where can I talk with russians developers??? [22:56] Is there a way to block a user from having access to ssh? [22:56] Robinux, yes [22:56] she found it* [22:56] Jordan_U: the image I'm trying to load is too large [22:56] LonelyDragon757: I'd google for a default xorg.conf file, there are a few around, probably someone has published one for your system or similar [22:56] maybe I shouldnt have started my updates while trying to do this [22:56] jordan2delta [22:56] Hi All, can anyone point me in the right direction here. I just installed 10.04 and I have no sound. (it's not muted, speakers are on etc). Ubuntu sees my sound card: http://pastebin.com/80b2uj2U [22:56] well it did, mongy [22:56] thanks jordan and hollowpoint [22:56] HollowPoint: but if the DVD drives work in PIII systems why wouldn't they work in P4 systems? [22:56] mongy, ZykoticK9: thanks u 2 [22:57] !russian | Guest34415 [22:57] Guest34415: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [22:57] d1g1ta1: the drive works, what I'm getting at is they may not work before the operating system boots [22:57] Robinux, glad to help. mongy thanks for the confirmation. [22:57] HollowPoint: Do mfgs such as HP revise their BIOS to support new equipment such as DVD drives after the fact? [22:57] d1g1ta1: when CDRoms first came out you had to configure them inside the OS, let alone DVD drives [22:58] HollowPoint: is there any way around it? [22:58] d1g1ta1: yes sometimes, but rarely, they're far more interested in getting you to buy the new equipment they've just made [22:58] LonelyDragon757: Another thing you might try is a different display. Some displays don't reply with their data properly or something and X sees no config data from display and defaults to minimums or something. [22:58] okay i ran the command and its running through the steps [22:58] I guess I'll go get an internal DVD RW and a newer PC. [22:58] d1g1ta1: download and burn an Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD instead of DVD, if it recognises it as a CDROM on USB it should work with a CD [22:59] HollowPoint: It's not working with anything, DVDs or Cds [22:59] ah right, then it may well be that the system just will not boot from USB at all then [22:59] even though it registers the drive, it may not have the ability to boot from it [23:00] could put the iso on another drive and boot from that [23:00] remember, booting from USB is relatively new tech anyway, USB CD/DVD drives have been around a few years, but actually booting from them or a USB key/drive is new [23:01] d1g1ta1: you say it has an internal drive? Why not just use that? [23:01] i am trying to get my Logitech unifying receiver (wireless 2.4 mouse) to work. It shows up in lsusb, but doesnt go. Not sure where to go from here in terms of trouble shooting. maybe some sort of USB port monitor? [23:02] googles not giving me any love on the issue either atm [23:02] al_nz1: what version of ubuntu are you using? [23:02] HollowPoint: well actually its BT [23:02] BT? [23:03] d1g1ta1: You can also boot from an iso file contained on the internal hard drive. [23:03] HollowPoint: but I also have a Ubuntu 10.10 box and it dont work on that either [23:03] d1g1ta1: are you trying to install, but can't get the install disk to boot? never mind...Jordan_U beat me to the punch [23:03] HollowPoint: work with wdoze [23:03] Jordan_U: how do you propose someone boots a P4 machine from an ISO file that's located on an internal hard drive, without already having an OS running? [23:04] HollowPoint: OH. nevermind again....lol [23:04] HollowPoint: I wasn't aware that there was no OS already on the machine. [23:04] if you're in wdoze, you're in the wrong place for help al_nz1. Although if you're in Wdoze, you can just download the SetPoint drivers from logitech usually [23:05] Hi All, can anyone point me in the right direction here. I just installed 10.04 and I have no sound. (it's not muted, speakers are on etc). Ubuntu sees my sound card: http://pastebin.com/80b2uj2U ... its not muted in AlsaMixer.. What should I check next? [23:05] HollowPoint: I mentioned Wdoze to make the point that the harware at least works [23:05] Jordan_U: he may already have an OS, but he's trying to boot from an Ubuntu DVD via a USB DVD drive, and it's a P4 machine, for one reason or another, it's not working [23:05] al_nz1: so it does work in Wdoze? [23:05] yep [23:06] al_nz1: but won't work in Ubuntu? [23:06] al_nz1: so as I asked originally, what version of ubuntu exactly? [23:06] so, i run a large PHP process on old server. i've just moved it to a new Ubuntu 10.4, ran it to the background ("php ... &"), and it keeps showing up in the process list as stopped (T) - which causes it to not do what it's supposed to do. If I run it without the &, it works properly. Any idea why? [23:06] HollowPoint 10.10 [23:06] shows up in lsusb [23:06] al_nz1: how new is the mouse exactly? What model? [23:07] How do I remove items from the Places menu on the top/ [23:07] d1g1ta1: What OS is currently on the hard drive? What are you trying to install? Can you just install to the hard drive from another machine and swap the drive back to the machine in question? [23:07] Synergy999, it appears like your system sees the card just fine. I'd open "alsamixer" from a terminal and verify that you don't have anything that has MM at the bottom (mute), use M key to switch if you do. [23:08] my process does show under 'jobs' as "stopped", but i dunno how to make it not stopped. [23:08] Morbus|kids: what exactly does this process do? [23:09] HollowPoint, it's an IRC bot. [23:09] Morbus|kids: made in PHP? [23:09] HollowPoint, yep! [23:09] that runs through Drupal and uses MySQL ;) [23:09] Morbus|kids: interesting, why not make it in PERL or something less memory hungry if it's a constantly running process? [23:09] it runs in about 60 channels with thousands of users. [23:09] HollowPoint, that's not the question I asked. [23:10] it's /designed/ to be a PHP bot. [23:10] Morbus|kids: indeed it isn't, but I can't see any reason for it not to run, my PERL processes run just fine in the bg [23:10] if i "fg 1", it comes to the foreground and loads right up again. [23:10] very interesting [23:10] if i ^Z, it goes to the bg, but becomes stopped. [23:11] hello. anyone know how to change the resolution for the TTYs in Ubuntu 10.04? [23:11] !libdvdcss2 [23:11] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:11] Morbus|kids: did it run in the bg before without this problem? You mentioned an older server? === Guest19405 is now known as ________xD [23:11] HollowPoint, it ran in the background just fine on a non Ubuntu server. [23:11] this is my first Ubuntu install. [23:11] Mojak: you're wanting to change the resolution for the consoles? [23:11] Morbus|kids: was the other server Linux or Win? [23:12] Linux. [23:12] an old fedora core. [23:12] HollowPoint, yes. the TTYs from 1 to 6 [23:12] Morbus|kids: but still running LAMP? [23:12] HollowPoint, yep! [23:12] rallias: You have a good point! Why is there "Applications-Places-System" on the top taskbar but only "Applications-System" in "System-Preferences-Main_Menu'? How *do* you adjust the "Places" menu? [23:12] Mojak: the only way is to allow the console fb module to run for your graphics driver, but it's not recommended, or supported [23:13] HollowPoint, even crazier. so, i bring the process to the front, and ask the connected bot for Help. it responds. [23:13] I'm not saying I want to add items. I want to remove them for security reasons. [23:13] i ctrl-z, it goes to the bg, i ask it for help again, and it doesn't response. [23:13] *respond. [23:13] Has anyone had a problem with multiple audio streams on HULU on Firefox 3.6.12 in Linux Mint? [23:13] KimK: in nautilus [23:13] HollowPoint, if i then fg the process, the bot will respond to my request! [23:13] Morbus|kids: possibly SELinux is playing a part there, restricting access to bg processes [23:14] rallias: the themes that come w/ the OS, do not pose a security risk, just the ones(possibly that you download [23:14] (my previous request, not a new one) [23:14] HollowPoint, hmm. I guess I'll have to do more research. I've been on this for 3 hours. [23:14] HollowPoint, is selinux enabled by default on ubuntu 10.4? i know it wasn't enabled on my FC machine. [23:14] Morbus|kids: yes [23:14] is there a magic word to disable it temporarily for testing purposes? [23:14] Morbus|kids: no [23:14] Morbus|kids: well yes, I just don't know it [23:14] KM0201: I am not saying thats the problem. My issue is that an uninitiated thief of my laptop could get into the core parts of the system with little difficulty. [23:15] is there a way to tweak the selinux settings on ubuntu? [23:15] rallias: and how exactly does a theme allow this? [23:15] Morbus|kids: Ubuntu does not use selinux by default, it uses apparmor. [23:15] !apparmor | Morbus|kids [23:15] Morbus|kids: For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [23:16] KM0201: I'm not saying its a theme. My problem is that the places menu in the menu poses a security risk in the event of a stolen laptop. I want to make the laptop as hard to hack yet usable as possible. [23:16] If they can use my laptop, they will connect to the internet and potentially give their location away. [23:16] ah yes, Morbus|kids apparmour, sorry I mixed up my annoying security apps lol [23:16] HollowPoint, heh, heh [23:16] rallias, encrypt it [23:17] Jordan_U, do you happen to know a quickie command to disable apparmor for testing purposes? [23:17] shcherbak, rallias : I see, just right-click and delete the folders from the "side pane"? Thanks! [23:17] rallias: ok, so use crypt keeper to make a folder to keep important data in... and make sure it has a good, strong password [23:17] Jordan_U, neverind. i didn't read far enouygh [23:17] Morbus|kids: No. [23:17] Jordan_U, but the wiki says there is? [23:17] mongy: I need to have some programs running without the perpitrator seeing them. If they see the core of the OS, they can remove those programs from running [23:17] KM0201: I allready have my home folder encrypted. [23:18] Jordan_U, apparmor_status is a command not found? [23:18] rallias, ? an encrypted home does not become unencrypted because they remove ecryptfs [23:18] rallias: then carry a gun, nobody will steal your laptop then. [23:18] lol [23:18] Morbus|kids: That "no" was "No I don't know one of the top of my head". [23:18] rallias, who is the proprietor? [23:18] Morbus|kids: -- sudo service apparmor stop [23:18] KM0201: Im here. need more hepl [23:18] help* [23:18] I've just discovered that works Morbus|kids [23:18] Romeria: PM me [23:18] unrecognized service. [23:18] mongy: Its a different user I'm trying to lock down. [23:18] you're in 10.04 damn I forgot [23:18] KM0201: Its not as simple as pie. [23:19] in which case, sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop -- I reckon [23:19] Thanks all [23:19] I am on probation, and can't touch a gun. [23:19] HollowPoint, not there either. [23:19] sudo stop apparmor maybe? [23:19] really? what's the output of ls /etc/init.d/ [23:19] unknown job. [23:20] the only thing in here i don't really know is something called plymouth [23:20] no selinux or apparmor things. [23:20] plymouth is the boot splash [23:20] though i do have a /selinux [23:20] apparmor is defo in /etc/init.d/ so that's weird [23:21] this is a linode instlal. [23:21] Which package contains MonoDevelop.Components.dll? [23:21] i wonder if they disabled it or something. [23:21] yeah /selinux is pretty irrelevent though, as someone said earlier, Ubuntu doesn't use it [23:21] how can i get ubuntu running on my mobile phone ? [23:22] MindWarper: you probably can't if you have to ask, Android is the Linux of choice for running on phones, but your hardware will need to be good enough, sorry. [23:22] im looking over distrowatch but cant find the android distro [23:23] So back to my question, how do I remove items from the places menu? [23:23] android.com [23:23] rallias: you probably can't to be honest, what exactly is it that's troubling you in there? [23:23] why isnt it listed in distrowatch even BSDs are ?! [23:23] !ot | MindWarper [23:24] MindWarper: #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! [23:24] HollowPoint: A DefCon video I saw on how the dude got his computer back, I want to increase that ability. [23:24] remember that someone needs your password to get in to your laptop, once they have that, if your user is part of the sudo and adm groups and in the sudoers list, they can do pretty much anything with your laptop anyway, but that of course all depends on if they can use Linux, which many people still can't [23:24] 'Prey' looks quite interesting. [23:24] HollowPoint: I want them to have as little ability in that area as possible. [23:25] most people who steal laptops just flatten them anyway and install whatever [23:25] HollowPoint: they would come up here to ask for directions and them wham baam BUSTED ! :) [23:25] my repositories are no longer available, what is a good universal repository for ubuntu? [23:25] mongy: Boot from removable storage is password protected. [23:25] rallias: most people have very little ability with Linux, but if they have enough to use it, once they've got your password you're abit screwed anyway, just be happy that there is less chance with a Linux laptop than a Windows one === al3x is now known as Guest39125 [23:26] GeoMAN [23:26] rallias: what exactly could be so precious on your laptop that you need to go to these lengths? You're obviously not a security professional or you wouldn't be asking the questions lol [23:27] Hello [23:27] i just realized i hate family guy ! [23:27] jethrot: use the ubuntu main repo, or, where are you in the world? [23:27] HollowPoint: Hacking tools, et al [23:27] hacking tools such as? [23:27] need to do an upgrade from 7-10 to 8-04 === ogra is now known as Guest31934 [23:28] in ubuntu.com.....where is all the different download mirrors at [23:28] HollowPoint: The not so kindly type. [23:28] FloridaGuy: you should have options for downloading from a mirror close to you when you try to download the image [23:28] !eol | jethrot [23:28] jethrot: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:28] rallias: most hacking tools are not so kindly, are we talking DDoS or root access? [23:29] what is an EOL upgrade? [23:29] can someone help me with authentication [23:29] HollowPoint: Numerous root exploits, booters, botnets, et al [23:29] jethrot: End of Life, it means the version you are using has become unsupported [23:29] Jordan_U: but hopefully that will all be in the past because the futre ubuntu will become a rolling release [23:29] rallias: and your aim with these tools is? [23:29] HollowPoint: Thats besides the point. [23:29] I just bought a macbook today and the MB sensors burned out [23:30] the MB has to be replaced :-) [23:30] Whats an MB? [23:30] HollowPoint:it not giving me all the different mirrors [23:30] motherboard [23:30] MindWarper: no, future releases will not be rolling releases. [23:30] MindWarper: The "article" "reporting" that Ubuntu was going to become a rolling release was just completely misunderstanding what daily builds were about. [23:30] rallias: well it's not, because if your intention is to harm innocent others with hacking tools, why should the general community, which fights mostly against such activities help you? lol [23:30] MindWarper: No such thing is planned, and likely never will be. [23:31] HollowPoint: I have possession of tools. I don't share them, I don't use them (well... except on myself) [23:31] can someone help me with authentication [23:31] but mark said so ive read somehere about it [23:31] rallias: so you're a practicing hacker then? And you simply want to make sure the tools you posses don't get "out in the wild" by accident? [23:31] what's your issue rick? [23:31] HollowPoint: Yup! [23:31] daily builds ? [23:32] rallias: ok, well I'd suggest encrypting your home folder and storing said tools there, perhaps in the home folder of an account which doesn't have root access to your entire machine, use a different password to your own and remove all access to the folder from any user but that specific user [23:32] when i use world of warcraft on opengl mode it give me an error,but i can run it in direct x(but it goes very slow) i'm using lucid 32bits with intel g31 without compiz [23:33] every time i put that password in i get a authenticate window [23:33] MindWarper: daily builds are as they sound, daily builds of an application/Operating System, they may or may not be stable but they do usually contain the most bleeding edge technology at the time [23:33] How often should the harrdrive spindown on my netbook? [23:33] HallowPoint: I've allready taken those precautions. I want to make my tools to be able to retake control invisible. [23:33] MindWarper: The "article" "reporting" that Ubuntu was going to become a rolling release was just completely misunderstanding what daily builds were about. Mark never said anything about Ubuntu moving to a rolling release. === SecretAg1nt is now known as SecretAgent [23:33] traceto: as often as you set it... [23:34] join #adultflirt [23:34] i thought it was a good idea at the time... [23:34] BTW: Some of the tools require root access to use. [23:34] HollowPoint, no idea why this is happening. sigh. [23:34] traceto: if you're on a proper netbook, it shouldn't, it should be an SSD disk, which means Solid State, or flash drive, no spinning required [23:34] join #adultflirt [23:34] :-) [23:34] since ubuntu releases ever so often [23:34] ciao [23:34] Morbus|kids: why what is happening? [23:35] BTW, when'd they remove the ability to type /msg to message a user? [23:35] hollowpoint: stopping of the background process. [23:35] HollowPoint: It's not a ssd drive so it should never spindown? [23:35] Morbus|kids: oh your process [23:35] Morbus|kids: sorry mate [23:35] rallias, they didn't [23:35] bowing down to google at the moment, but the damn god is ignoring my pleas ;) [23:35] were are the mirrors page of the new android ? [23:35] Morbus|kids: I'm with you dude, not a clue, the only thing I could suggest would be apparmor, but if it's not showing up or stoppable, then that's another story [23:35] can someone help me please [23:36] ZykotiK9: Unknown command; see /help for the available commands [23:36] when i use world of warcraft on opengl mode it give me an error,but i can run it in direct x(but it goes very slow) i'm using lucid 32bits with intel g31 without compiz. PD:render yes.gears:5000 frames in 5s [23:36] hollow: yeah, i have some app armor /etc files hanging around, but it's not an init, nor do any of the wiki commands exist. [23:36] rick__, just ask [23:36] help [23:37] Morbus|kids: try -- sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove [23:37] Morbus|kids: then reboot [23:37] MindWarper: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, as you've already been told. [23:37] rick__: do you talk of keyring? [23:38] i just install ubuntu and i when ever the system needs a password,i put it in correctly ,and it returns with a screen that says [23:38] authenticate [23:38] rick__, if it's the keyring that's asking for the password - it probably wants your old password [23:38] then i press the to close and its ok [23:38] Anyone get Minecraft Alpha or Beta Working on Ubuntu? [23:38] o [23:39] its the same one [23:39] !list [23:39] 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 » [23:39] gigaclon: try on #ubuntu-offtopic, there are maniacal creatures there. [23:39] rick__, if they really are the same - then keyring wouldn't be coming up??? [23:39] Oroles [23:40] HollowPoint, it looks like adding nohup to the beginning of the command does it. [23:40] rick__, this "might" be of assistance (untested) http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ [23:40] yeah I would imagine that would work Morbus|kids [23:41] k [23:42] when i use world of warcraft on opengl mode it give me an error,but i can run it in direct x(but it goes very slow) i'm using lucid 32bits with intel g31 without compiz. PD:render yes.gears:5000 frames in 5s [23:43] simon_: you may want to check teh #winehq channel and the wine app database. [23:44] yes thank it helped [23:44] i checked both [23:44] dr_willis in #winehq no activity and in app database isn't the solution [23:44] simon_: they will know more then anyone in here will. Theres also the forums. [23:44] simon_, it's a terrible benchmark (and isn't suppose to be used as one) but I get 22070 frames in 5.0 seconds with glxgears [23:45] belated merry xmas all and happy new year tp you all [23:45] the game run at 2fps at the minimum ._. [23:46] I have a list of packages from dpkg (acquired through dpkg --get-selections) and would like to REMOVE all packaged that are not on the list, how can I do that? [23:46] packages* remove packages [23:46] simon_, remembereverything fancy smancy you do uses ram and will bog the ole stealth [23:47] hiexpo, i dont speak english,i dont know what do you mean with smancy .-. [23:48] simon_, smancy [23:48] simon_: just an impression [23:48] = fancy [23:48] compiz uses a lot of ram [23:49] i said than i am not using compiz [23:49] simon_: Are you sure GL itself is enabled? [23:49] HollowPoint, yep, looks like things are going happily with nohup now. Works for me. Thanks! [23:50] http://drupal.org/project/bot if you're remotely curious ;) [23:50] glxgear and the another benchmark(dont remember wich)are based on open gl Diamondcite [23:50] simon_ does wine give any helpful output when the opengl option is used with wow? [23:51] simon_: glxgrears is not a benchmark. [23:51] Jordan_U, but if it work it mean than i have opengl enabled :P [23:51] Is there any fix for the "Cannot Reserve MMIO region" issue? [23:52] Diamondcite, i think is wow that crashes,it said something about error #132(generic error) [23:52] simon_: OpenGL is always "enabled" the question is whether you're getting GPU accelerated 3D or software rendered 3D. [23:53] @all: name the best Terminal-Musicplayer [23:53] NFischer: i didn't even know that there IS a terminal music player [23:53] NFischer: Mplayer [23:53] simon_: A better check is "glxinfo | grep direct", if it prints "direct rendering: Yes" then you have accelerated 3D. [23:53] Jordan_U, i've it [23:53] any way to disable the keyring popup that comes up when i log into my laptop? [23:53] Diamondcite, besides mplayer ^^ [23:53] NFischer: You are German too, right? [23:54] Daikoku, righty right [23:54] im assuming its for my wifi password, but id rather not have to type a password in when i log in [23:54] Daikoku, how did you find out? [23:55] invisiblek: Make your wifi network avialable to all users of that computer inside network manager's configuration, that moves it out of they key ring.

[23:57] does anyone know the package installer command for osx terminal? [23:57] HI ALL [23:57] plundra: ifconfig -a (does this show it?) [23:57] plundra, did your kernel update? try booting an old one? [23:57] Diamondcite: YEs, both of them. [23:58] hello all. im trying to install virtualbox3.2...when i search for it it shows up...but i cannot install it. http://pastebin.com/pSMf6CP4 [23:58] plundra: So how is it dead? [23:58] invisiblek: Yes, I did try an older one (-21 I believe) [23:58] Diamondcite: No traffic going in or out. [23:58] Diamondcite: No routes. [23:58] plundra: You have 2 network cards? [23:58] Diamondcite, where would that file be? [23:58] Diamondcite: Yes it has, it's a DL320G5 [23:58] not seeing anything useful in /etc/NetworkManager/ [23:59] exit [23:59] plundra: There is a chance that eth0 and eth1 physically changed places, please swap the cable and check ^_^ [23:59] how can i clone a lvm volume to another disk? [23:59] cablop, dd is a bit by bit copy, i think that should do it [23:59] all this time i have been using Ushare to stream movies to my xbox, and kept having problems, server would just stop working, Installed Twonky and so far so good
