[00:00] dd if=/dev/sdXX of=/dev/sdXX [00:00] maybe? [00:00] invisiblek: mmm, but can't i change the size of the partition while doing that? [00:00] Diamondcite: No, it's nothing like that. I did try the other interace aswell. [00:00] cablop, i dont think so, but you should be able to do that afterwards from a livecd [00:00] Diamondcite: I get errors from tg3 when rebooting, for exampl.e [00:00] but maybe not... [00:01] how can i see the data of a .lst file? [00:01] Diamondcite: Something seems to be very broken :-) I'll move the pbx to another machine for now, and look at this later on. [00:01] It's 01:00 AM and I'm drunk :-P But was near the colo facility. [00:02] Stupid cheap ass computers! [00:02] stupid drunkard operators :) [00:02] plundra: Well I'm clueless for now.. Since you claim the cards didn't swap ids with each other ^_^ [00:02] how can i limit sftp users to one directory? [00:03] Diamondcite: This must be a hardware problem, either from the nic it self or some other part of the hardware. [00:03] Diamondcite: Thanks for your interest though! [00:03] hihihi100, you can do: cat /path/to/file.lst [00:03] hihihi100, that will just puke the contents of the file, you can edit it with gedit or nano [00:05] MrUnagi: use the chroot feature in whichever ftp server you are using [00:05] i was using openssh which i didnt think had a chroot option, do you have an sftp server suggestion? [00:06] does Ubuntu 10.10 support WUSB54GSC v2? [00:06] in any way [00:06] ah hadn't noticed the s on the front of ftp [00:06] it's a wireless usb dongle [00:06] if I have a wireless receiver for my usb mouse, and I want to cat /dev/"usbreceiver" - how do I work out which usbmon device the receiver is on? lsusb gave me bus and device if that helps? [00:06] HollowPoint: yea, otherwise it would be easy =) [00:06] 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 [00:07] MrUnagi: you should still be able to do it though, I haven't had to chroot an SFTP user for a long long time though [00:07] I've had trusted users for quite some time [00:07] HollowPoint: there is a lot of documentation but none of them have worked for me [00:07] Hi... i am trying to load a Broadcom b43 driver (from compat-wireless) and i get the error "The driver does not know which firmware (initvals) is required for your device (wl-core rev 16)"... does anybody have any idea on what i can do to fix this? === nhandler is now known as Guest26812 [00:08] MrUnagi: you could use scponly, but it won't work for existing users [00:09] basically i'm following this thread but no luck http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1247163 === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [00:09] so you'd have to delete any existing users and recreate them USING scponly and not adduser [00:09] HollowPoint: that was the last attempt that i tried [00:09] MrUnagi: that one should work fine, was what I used last time and it did the job nicely [00:09] sometimes ssh will deny the connection [00:10] sometimes or all the time? [00:10] depends on the method and what was changed [00:10] i need to keep better logs [00:11] but i know that if i set the shell to bin/false, sftp wouldnt work either [00:11] hmmmmmmmmmm, well scponly will probably refuse the connection if one is already/was recently active [00:11] hello! i'm having a problem with fstab, someone can help me? [00:11] because it's specifically designed to limit access [00:11] wagner: what kind of problem? [00:11] HollowPoint: does that mean i cant configure scponly through ssh? [00:12] MrUnagi: Tried 'rssh' it's a shell for scp and ftp accounts [00:12] sftp? [00:12] i try to give user access (mount and rw) to all user, is a extra partition, but i cant [00:12] MrUnagi: no you should be able to configure it through ssh, just so long as you're not trying to create the same user you're currently logged in as [00:12] HollowPoint: ok cool, i dont want to limit my admin user :D [00:13] wagner: although you can set rw permissions in fstab, they will then be over-ridden by the specifc file/folder permissions [00:13] where can I find a german english open source dictionary to use OFFLINE? [00:13] Diamondcite: i will try that after i try scponly === madolphs is now known as Matejunkie [00:13] any recs on a bomber ftp and ssh server? [00:13] bomber? [00:14] ok, bomb proof [00:14] uh [00:14] get a shelter? [00:14] vsftp always worked for me [00:14] I have WUSB54GSC v2 which is supposedly a Broadcom chip [00:14] but i can't get it to work [00:14] :D [00:14] HollowPoint, defaults is rw, or no? [00:14] akumafan: are you installing from repos or source? [00:14] akumafan, my experience with broadcom is that its a PITA [00:14] repos [00:15] HollowPoint, thanks, ftp and ssh or just ftp? [00:15] vsftp goes someway towards supporting ftp and sftp, but it really depends what you want [00:15] for ssh you need openssh [00:15] gotcha, thanks [00:15] for ftp, you can use vsftp or if like MrUnagi you're trying to setup specific sftp chroots then you'll need something like scponly [00:15] ubuntu takes forever to install in a vm lol [00:16] HollowPoint: scponly still requires openssh right? [00:16] I'm not sure what an sftp chroot is [00:16] http://funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/1415959/Old+people+ftw/ [00:16] jon_athon: jail for sftp users [00:16] MrUnagi: yeah, anything using SSH still needs openssh or similar [00:16] HollowPoint: ok no problem [00:16] MrUnagi, I don't like jail [00:16] jon_athon: that is what i need [00:17] HollowPoint, i'm doing this: /dev/sda5 /geral reiserfs defaults,users 0 2 [00:17] jon_athon: chroot in sftp basically does the same as chroot in ftp, it restricts the user to the folder you specify [00:17] Oh, I like that [00:17] but you said you didnt [00:17] Hello! Does anyone know how to check which graphiccard is the currently active one on my system? I have a laptop with Nvidia-Sli [00:17] lol [00:17] MrUnagi, did you kill someone [00:17] MrUnagi, I said I dunno what it is... I knew the concept [00:18] wagner: what exactly are you trying to do? Allow anyone to mount the partition? Or allow anyone to read write it? [00:18] HollowPoint, anyone to mount and rw it [00:19] well rw it depends on the file/folder permissions, nothing you can do about that in fstab [00:19] mounting depends on the folder you're mounting it in [00:19] as in the file/folder permissions for that folder [00:20] HollowPoint, so, i need to mount in fstab and modify the folder permissions [00:21] HollowPoint: what about this method http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=229 [00:21] wagner: first and foremost, you need to make sure the folder you are intending to mount it in /geral you said above, has permissions 777 [00:21] hi all [00:21] MrUnagi, that's neat, so each ftp user has it's own root folder, and scponly creates the remote shell appending the chroot command? [00:21] hi, i dont get any input on my M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB soundcard. I get outputs alright, but no input at all (not even listed as output in the preference box). Any suggestions? It was working fine a couple of days ago, i am puzzled. Thanks [00:22] sight......still stuck on 77% [00:23] wagner: after making sure /geral has 777 permissions, you'll need to mount the drive, and make sure all folders have likewise 777 permissions and files will need 666 permissions to allow ANYONE to read and write them, unfortunately, that won't stop new files and folders being created as read/write by the user that created them only [00:24] im trying to use kismet to check out some packets coming in and out of my web server and my ethernet controller is a Realtek RTL9111. The website provided by kismet to match card types is given here: http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml#readme but i cant seem to find my card what should i do [00:24] HollowPoint, thanks! I will do it [00:25] MrUnagi: sorry for delay, that looks good, lots of work though for each user :( [00:25] HollowPoint: luckily i only have 2 users :D [00:25] lol MrUnagi that's ok then [00:25] HollowPoint: but it doesn't need to be for each user......just add each new users to sftp group [00:26] hello all, anyone else using ubuntu on a cr-48? it needs special kernel setups. and i'm afraid to do a full update. any ideas? [00:26] yeah I noticed, not a bad addition to a very old tool [00:27] invisiblek: then, do i need to create exact size target partitions before using dd? [00:27] hi, i dont get any input on my M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB soundcard. I get outputs alright, but no input at all (not even listed as output in the preference box). Any suggestions? It was working fine a couple of days ago, i am puzzled. Thanks [00:27] im trying to use kismet to check out some packets coming in and out of my web server and my ethernet controller is a Realtek RTL9111. The website provided by kismet to match card types is given here: http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml#readme but i cant seem to find my card what should i do [00:28] Does scponly use the ftp protocol for transferring files? [00:28] jon_athon, scp should be using ssh [00:28] Nexxus: isn't that a wired card? [00:28] is 25 GB enough space for the root (aka system) partition? [00:28] Hi... i get "ERROR: PLL init unknown for device 4322" (for a broadcom b43 wireless chip)... anyone know a solution? [00:29] I discovered the documentation was out of date, so my question doesn't need to be answered. [00:29] ZykoticK9, does ssh support all of the file transfer features of ftp? e.g. resume checkpoints [00:29] secretary_linux: ya my mistake the wireless card is a Ralink RT2860 [00:29] The one about MonoDevelop. [00:29] cablop, "enough" is relative to what you will be installing. I use 8GB for my VMs but my main system have 500GB for / [00:30] and how does one setup full multi touch gestures? [00:30] jon_athon, sorry don't know [00:30] cablop: Yes, though I wouldn't call it the "system" partition as in the windows world that means something completely different, and in the *NIX world everyone understands "root partition". [00:30] ZykoticK9, no worries, thanks [00:30] Hello there, just installed 10.10 and am beeing greeted by a blinking cursor and no boot, using live cd right now, any suggestions appreciated [00:30] jon_athon: onlyscp uses ssh/scp to transfer files, as does sftp [00:30] oneliner: Do you have more than one hard drive? [00:30] Hmmm, never heard of scp [00:31] oneliner: burn cd again... [00:31] must not make it into the windows arena much... I'm a recent convert :) [00:31] jon_athon: scp is basically copying a file over ssh, it's a oneshot wonder, if it fails, you start again [00:31] hello all, anyone else using ubuntu on a cr-48? it needs special kernel setups. and i'm afraid to do a full update. any ideas? [00:31] your cd is not good [00:31] HollowPoint, f... that sucks [00:31] I guess it does make it to the windows world... I've never configured ssh before on a machine though. [00:32] jon_athon: ah but if you use a client like filezilla, you can copy multiple files over sftp and it handles all the transactions for you, which is where the sftp stuff comes in [00:32] Jordan_U: yes Vincent1800 how would i check cd integrity, live versions is running ok, am using it [00:32] wqow ZykoticK9 i just plan to have the root thing on it while having home and other things elsewhere [00:32] Jordan_U: sata drive is my target drive for install, is set as primary boot after cd drive [00:32] !helllo [00:32] Jragon: Error: "helllo" is not a valid command. [00:32] #ubuntu-de [00:33] HollowPoint, yea but if the server isn't creating resume points the client will still need to restart a download [00:33] Nexxus: where IFACE is your card, you could try sudo iwconfig IFACE mode monitor to test it yourself [00:33] HollowPoint, I'm worried about unstable connections. [00:33] cablop, again - it depends on what you will be installing. If you plan on installing commercial games, which i personally do, then 25GB would be too small for my needs. [00:33] oneliner: Grub was probably not installed to the drive you're booting from. Try changing the boot order (Ubuntu doesn't always install grub to the hard drive the rest of Ubuntu is installed to, which I don't particularly like). [00:33] oneliner: u can check with md5 for iso or in the cd installer [00:33] this is true, however the client remembers the last thing it successfully uploaded and if a connection was lost/terminated, it starts from the last unsuccesful file [00:33] i installed windows and now i can't boot into ubuntu [00:33] secretary_linux: alright ill give that a shot thanks [00:34] chaospsychex: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [00:34] is there any way to wrap ftp in a secure shell... besides things like IPSEC and GRE tunnels? [00:34] chaospsychex: you can't install windows AFTER Linux, it's the other way around [00:34] Nexxus: I'm not sure but it's possible iwconfig is case sensitive in which case you should do sudo iwconfig mode Monitor [00:34] ZykoticK9: nah, it is a netbook, just a few games on it [00:34] yeah, sftp lol [00:34] Nexxus: with your interface name in there of course [00:34] chaospsychex, windows over rights grub. See !grub or !grub2 for reinstall instructions. [00:34] !grub2 [00:34] chaospsychex: Error: "grub2" is not a valid command. [00:34] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:34] jon_athon: sftp is ftp with ssh [00:34] hmmm, unfortunately I think the resume function of FTP is kinda important, as I may be transferring files via unstable sat links [00:35] MrUnagi, hmmm... now I'm confused [00:35] ok, so then you forward your ftp port over an ssh connection, then ftp to localhost [00:35] has anyone successfully installed windows media encoder with WINE ? [00:35] jon_athon: if that is important, then tunnel ftp through ssh with port forward [00:35] hello, i've installed dnsmasq on ubuntu 10.10, i've added "listen-address=127.0.0.1" to /etc/dnsmasq.conf and restarted dnsmasq but dnsmasq is still listening on 0.0.0.0:53 -- anyone have experience with dnsmasq? [00:35] ssh -C -L 21:127.0.0.1:21 user@host.com [00:35] ssh -L 21:localhost:21 alex@somehost.com [00:35] MrUnagi, Gotcha. does that encrypt the data and command channel? [00:35] beta ya!~ [00:35] jon_athon: if you encrypt both of them [00:36] check [00:36] oneliner: Once you're booted (or chrooted) into your Ubuntu system you can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change what drive(s) Ubuntu installs grub to. [00:36] jon_athon: that basically creates an SSH tunnel to your server, then when you ftp to localhost, the ssh tunnel does the re-directing for you, plain old ftp over an ssh tunnel [00:36] I would like to setup my computer to also act as a telephone for my land line so I can make/receive phone calls from the desktop with a bluetooth headset. Any suggestions on software that could aide in this? [00:37] Nice [00:37] I'll need to play with that [00:37] jon_athon: you CAN DO IT WITH VNC and smb and afp and a lot of other things too [00:37] mattgyver: there are several, unfortunately bluetooth headsets don't work brilliantly in the Linux desktop yet, your best bet would be something simple like Skype, and do a bit of research into bluetooth headsets that WILL work [00:37] yo [00:37] bros [00:38] MrUnagi, I'm not familiar with afp but I thought SMB was a widows deal [00:38] it is cross platform [00:38] hi everyone [00:38] interesting... learning has occured [00:38] smb is samba, a program that emulates a windows file/folder share jon_athon [00:38] heh [00:38] HollowPoint, the headset I want to uise works rather well for everything I use it to up to this point, i just dont want to replace my broken phone ;X [00:38] HollowPoint, isnt skype voip only? I dont want to use voip really [00:39] Jordan_U: the installation completed sucesfuly, maybe i could check the grub folder config in the target drive_ [00:39] mattgyver: skype is voip, but you can tune it to a landline number for a small fee [00:39] HollowPoint, okay cool maybe thats worth looking into. Thanks for the suggestion. [00:40] mattgyver: while I was living in NZ I had a London Landline number tethered to my skype account so my family and friends in the UK could ring me, worked just like a normal phone, except if I turned my computer off .... lol [00:40] oneliner: It's not an issue with the grub folder, it's an issue with what drive's mbr + embedded area grub was installed to. [00:40] Hmmm, i got some more learning to do on data transferring protocols === Guest31934 is now known as ogry === ogry is now known as ogra [00:40] jon_athon: it gets fun [00:40] mattgyver: Look into asterisk [00:40] jon_athon: HollowPoint what i am set out to do is create my own dropbox set up [00:41] will do [00:41] so i swap drive order in the bios untill i get a grub message or else come back here [00:41] Jordan_U, yeah I looked into that and its a bit overcomplicated for what my end goal is but if need be i may go that route. [00:41] I think it cost me the equivalent of about £5 a month to have a UK landline number and it also allowed me to make unlimited calls to UK landlines at no extra cost. mattgyver [00:41] MrUnagi, yea, I've done a lot of work with routing protocols, and routed protocols, but not much on the application layer [00:41] a dropbox as in for outsiders to be able to drop things in, but not get them out? [00:41] I'm CCNA but there is no focus on application layer [00:41] annon-y-mouse-ly [00:42] HollowPoint, yeah essentially I want a desk phone that has bluetooth built in but there all so darn expensive this would be more functional for me [00:42] jon_athon: I'm CCNA, can't remember much of it at all [00:42] HollowPoint, MrUnagi sounds like what I use to submit homework for online classes [00:42] HollowPoint: dropbox as in an account with a 2gb limit to access files from any where including a phone [00:42] hi. i am trying to format my usb stick to NTFS with GParted. i did "create partition table", and it shows prompt asking "select new partition table type:" what do i choose there if i want NTFS? i dont see it listed [00:42] mattgyver: if you can stand to change your number over skype is the way for that [00:43] hblount: you shouldn't format a usb stick to NTFS, use FAT32 [00:43] HollowPoint, I am Sec+ Net+ MCSA CCNA and CCNA Security... I only remember the CCNA , NET+ and SEC+ stuff... MCSA went in one and out the other [00:43] brb removing HDD DIAGNOSTIC virus from dads pc [00:43] Why is my postfix server not relaying mail for me? [00:43] dropbox.com === checker is now known as WyleECoyote [00:43] hblount: MS-DOS [00:43] I never did my microsoft stuff, left the MS world behind a few years ago, moved into cisco stuff, but then moved out of that and now am a developer, so barely even remember how to subnet tbh [00:43] HollowPoint, ok but I need it. at least temporarily. any other points to make? [00:44] HollowPoint: haha subnet is simple :D [00:44] hblount: you need it to be NTFS and not FAT32? [00:44] it is like reverse binary [00:44] MrUnagi: I know, was just over-exagerating to make a point lol [00:45] oh i was about to explain it lol [00:45] Jordan_U, it said error while creating partition...i tried it twice. any ideas? [00:45] MrUnagi: I used to be a guru of all things IT, but since I moved into development, I barely do anything systems or network related and am starting to forget in my old age :D [00:45] HollowPoint, i cant transfer files bigger than 4gb to/from my usb stick with fat32 [00:45] finally.....i am ssh'd back into the server, time to try scponly [00:46] lol nvm I figured it out... :/ [00:46] hblount: do you need to connect the usb stick to a windows machine? [00:46] HollowPoint: i manage nodal networks for the army, i hope to get a cisco job when i get out [00:46] ok, i want to set up a vpn to share files...i have an open wifi router, and i want only allowed machines to connect to a file share...what's the ubuntu way of doing this? [00:46] HollowPoint, yes [00:46] hey guys, I need to know how to mount an unformatted external HDD, it doesn't have a "type" so what do line do I need to put in terminal? [00:46] hi [00:46] hblount: Does it give any more detailed error message? [00:47] hblount: hmmmmmmmmm, then I could recommend formatting the stick to EXT3 and download the ext3 driver for Windows, then install that, then plug in the stick, but that's a bit long winded === WyleECoyote is now known as WyleECoyote_ [00:47] spencer, when you connect your hd, anything mount ? [00:47] spencer__: You can't mount something that isn't a fileystem. What is your end goal? [00:47] Ive had such big issues with the ext3 drivers for windows.. i have a hard time recommending them === WyleECoyote_ is now known as WyleECoyote [00:47] spencer__: a unformated hd would have no filesystems - so you cant mount it. [00:47] Dr_Willis: I haven't had too many issues using EXT3 in Windows, but EXT4 is a nightmare [00:47] why it doesnt run [00:48] wtf i thought gparted supposed to let me read and create NTFS disks [00:48] /usr/local/bin/newcs.x86 [00:48] spencer__: you should use GParted, select the drive that you've plugged in with no filesystem and then use GParted to create a partition table and file system on the drive [00:48] here, there are system admin ? [00:48] Reading Config file from /etc/newcs.xml [00:48] Cannot open config file... quitting [00:48] HollowPoint: i had big ext3 filesystem curruption.. but that was due to windows crashing while accessing the ext3 i think. but I havent tried the things in over a year :) so it maty be better [00:48] hey guys, can I ask someone to help me? 2 things..firstly..ive got ubuntu...everytime I press to MINIMIZE something..I dont know where it goes? [00:48] it reads only from were newcs.xml is there [00:48] hblount: if you have the ntfs support package installed.. it can [00:48] Jordan_U, it just shows dialogue with this message "Error while creating partition table" nothing else [00:49] ah yes hblount have you installed ntfs-3g? [00:49] Dr_Willis, i do [00:49] hblount: Can you post a screenshot? [00:49] !screenshot | hblount [00:49] hblount: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [00:49] gsdfsd_: perghaps the window applet in the panel crashed.

Fresh laptop(10.10 32bit) with wireless. Is it safe to assume that to use WPA/WPA2 I need to install the wpasupplicant package? Thanks. [00:50] spencer__, just use linux to format it [00:50] spencer__: you partition it, then format the partitions. [00:50] spencer__: use gparted. [00:51] I'm trying to run ushare on boot in 10.10 but nothing I do is letting it boot [00:51] DOH ..found it..I had shrunk the place where minxed progs go....I had shrunk it to 1 pixel:P [00:51] just a "off-topic" question for the crowd... but any girls in here... i would really hate ubunto to be a guyz thing :P [00:51] spencer__: or fdisk. - its also possibel the hd could have died i guess... [00:51] skorv, goto the offtopic channel for that [00:51] MrUnagi: with scponly you should be using the setup_chroot.sh script, not adduser [00:51] Anyone here know why my gigabit NIC would only negotiate at 100mbps? (MCP79, using forcedeth). [00:51] :P [00:51] irieKEN: messed up wireing? dog chewed the cable... [00:51] okay another thing, to do with IRC...would that question go here? [00:52] irieKEN: because you have a 100mbps switch/router connected to it? [00:52] skorv, I honestly have no clue how many girls are on here, The thing that makes this channel cool is that you can't really tell them apart or anything [00:52] irie, lsmod and modprobe check the driver associated with your nic [00:52] gsdfsd_: ask and see I guess. :) [00:52] 100mbit switch port, lol [00:52] dr_willis possible but not likely, it's in excellant condition, only about a year old [00:52] here... 1371 there just 210 [00:52] spencer__: disks can die at any time.. they are the weakest link in any pc these days from what ive seen. [00:52] irieKEN, the cable or the switch/router you connect to might not be 1Gbps. [00:53] skorv, #ubuntu is the support channel, for other stuff use the OT channel instead (like your question) [00:53] Jordan_U, ok here it is: http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/7572/screenshotdkx.png [00:53] okay using Gparted, what FS type should I make it? [00:53] ok so i found grub sitting on the wrong drive, it gives me a device not found error and a grub recover console [00:53] anyone have any experience with making a program run on boot? [00:53] spencer__: if you totally whipe a hard drive. You proberly need to repartiton it. fdisk/gparted will do that for you. [00:53] Mrono: what program? [00:53] Mrono, at boot, or login? [00:53] dotblank: yea... thats the "problem"... [00:54] ZykoticK9: it's autologin so i don't care which' [00:54] for the sake of an example, lets call the drives good and bad [00:54] HollowPoint: ushare [00:54] Dr_Willis: Nope, cable is all good... Runs in 1Gb/s if I run an old Ubuntu live CD. [00:54] trying to install edubuntu10.10 and I keep getting this error: "The attempt to mount afile system with type ext" 2/3/4 "in SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (ssda) at / failed." [00:54] Jordan_U, i dont know if this means anything, but before when i first opened gparted, it showed the usb stick and it was not "unallocated". then i tried to create partition table (msdos), it gave me that error, but after that first try the usb stick is now "unallocated" [00:54] Mrono, just add it to System / Preferences / Startup Applications then - easy [00:54] Mrono: rc.local maybe... === dotblank-away is now known as dotblank [00:54] Jordan_U: could you give me that reconfigure command again_ [00:54] Bring0: Yeah, gigabit switch... all works fine with 9.04, but not with the latest:( [00:54] * dotblank forgot to come back from away [00:54] skorv: tried that have 'ushare &' in there [00:54] ZykoticK9: still won't boot [00:55] right I gtg folks, my bed is screaming at me, night [00:55] btw _ is my ongoing interogation mark until i fix my keyboard layout [00:55] gimme a sec [00:55] oneliner: "sudo dpkg-recofnigure grub-pc" But that needs to be run from the installed system or from a chroot into the installed system. [00:55] have to check something [00:55] would a grub rescue console work_ [00:56] I've tried normal (all disk) setup and advanced (trying ext2 and ext3) with no luck [00:56] Jordan_U, you shouldn't need worry about grub in a chroot [00:56] Iw would think *** [00:56] Mrono: rc.local on /etc/init.d/ [00:56] can anyone help me, im trying to install a .bundle file [00:57] irieKEN: you can try ethtool eth0 to check if module supports gigabit [00:57] skorv: isn't rc.local in there just a symbolic link to /etc/rc.local [00:57] joshuac__, whats a .bundle file? [00:57] why i cant run ./newcs from rc.loca [00:57] anyone know what to do to make the partition mounting work so I can finish this install ? [00:57] irieKEN: the same can be used to force gigabit negotiation [00:57] oneliner: The error you're getting from grub suggests that your BIOS can only handle one of PATA or SATA at a given time, i.e. when you boot from the PATA drive the BIOS can't read from the SATA drive. [00:57] Mrono: I would take it out of rc.local. It should have installed S20UShare into /etc/rc2.d [00:57] dotblank, its for VMWare [00:57] Mrono: i've been using it to run services on startup [00:57] Hi. Fresh laptop(10.10 32bit) with wireless. Is it safe to assume that to use WPA/WPA2 I need to install the wpasupplicant package? Thanks. [00:57] HeColdFeet: Ethtool reported that it does support 1000mbps [00:57] Mrono: you could try remove it from whatever it's set to right using update-rc.d and then readd it using the same [00:58] 5. Run ./setup_chroot.sh and creat a user.....how do i run a .sh from cli? [00:58] joshuac__, chmod +x VMWARE.bundle && ./VMWARE.bundle should work [00:58] Bing0, it doesn't just work? [00:58] HeColdFeet: I'll try forcing it when I get home. [00:58] dotblank, networkmanager only offers(from menu) WEP [00:58] hi guys, i was only able to install the base system, so how can i with the command line, install all the packages from the ubuntu installation cd? [00:58] Bing0, thats very odd... [00:58] what could cause the file system mount to "fail" ???

[01:01] Bing0, I know some atheros cards do.. [01:01] HeColdFeet: oh, ok, but will that install everything the installer would have? is there away to install from the cd so i don't waste my banwidth? [01:01] I should think letting the installer use ext4 on the whole drive should work [01:01] dotblank, how can i tell the wireless nic type in terminal? any idea? [01:02] thewarlock, well if the port is below 1024 it has to be run as root [01:02] n/m ... lspci [01:02] Bing0, yes you can use lspci [01:02] oneliner: You're welcome, I do need to leave in about 8 minutes though.

[01:25] drive is not too old [01:25] it works fine afaik [01:25] dotblank: i have a specific user that i want to have only sftp access [01:25] Anyone know if the game runs on full ubuntu [01:25] my problem is an issue with the sugesstion bar showing up as a weird green in cromeium i dont know why i happened after i used mac4lin [01:26] naiad, open its control file find the depends copy and past it into apt-get remove? [01:26] wilton: what game? [01:26] i want to send a link to show you what i mean [01:26] hello? [01:26] @dotblank, yes, sent you a pm [01:26] you can't run md5 on a burned disc though...can you ? [01:26] cabal [01:26] hmm tank8465 what did you tryed already ?, just to see what I can think more [01:26] flyk, yes [01:27] Make sure you have permission to modify this file. [01:27] i just keep trying to connect [01:27] tbruff13: paste a url. and sumarrize the issue. not all of us have the time/option to access a web site. [01:27] does 775 not give permission? [01:27] dotblank, that's what i've been doing, but it seems silly to be able to install all the packages with the meta but not remove them ;\ heh [01:27] i made sure the password is all good [01:27] nothing else ? [01:27] Dr_Willis, are you there [01:27] nah [01:27] reboot router ? [01:27] idk thats the problem: again im on it [01:27] naiad, I think it may be on purpose.. try using the computer janitor to remove them [01:27] I thought you check the md5 on the iso file [01:27] tbruff13: add a new user see if affects them.. if not. then you got some theme setting for the problem user. twiddle with the various theme settings, or reset gnome totally back to defaults perhaps [01:28] hey can someone tell me a chat client that supports video through yahoo messenger? [01:28] ls -l gives drwxr-xr-x 2 1002 1003 4096 Dec 28 01:24 test.......what does this mean [01:28] demonsoul09, hmm I was looking at the man but I don't see anything about audio path? what option are you refering to? [01:28] okay [01:28] hi [01:28] tbruff13: last i checked mac4lin had some sort of Undo script. but i also recall hearing it had issues.. we cant really give much support for things liek mac4lin that do so many changes. [01:28] the game is cabal online [01:28] lol hey lordnoid [01:29] im cracking my own wep adress but i cant get a succesful authentication is it my wireless card? [01:29] does anyone happen to know of any chat programs that support yahoo with webcam? [01:29] wep password not adress [01:29] bomberinsandals, did you change your card out of mnitor mode? [01:29] monitor* [01:29] yes i shut it down with ifconfig [01:29] im thinking it is not compatible [01:30] um.. but did it create a monitor interface? [01:30] im pretty new to backtrack so im not totally sure whats going on [01:30] did you use airmon-ng [01:30] guys i installed ubuntu 10.10 onto windows 7 using wubi and the gmail on pidgin in ubuntu will for some reason not work [01:30] use airmon-ng stop iface [01:30] ok this is my line of commands airmon0ng stop wlan0 [01:31] then ifconfig wlan0 down [01:31] then macchanger [01:31] then airmon -ng start [01:31] soo? [01:31] bomberinsandals, why did you start the monitor mode again? [01:31] when logged into sftp, i am unable to create a directory, it says permission denied......i tried to chmod 755 but still unable to......what can i do to enable write access? [01:32] tom866 there an pidgin chan for this [01:32] MrUnagi, maybe checking the ssh log files will help? [01:32] hey all [01:32] dotblank: permission denied doesn't say enough? [01:32] dotblank I was following a written sheet i aquired from a friend [01:32] meaning, the log will really say more than that [01:32] ? [01:33] what's wrong with the disc checking itself ? [01:33] MrUngai: did u set the correct permission [01:33] MrUnagi, maybe not.. but I'd say its worth a try [01:33] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to run Mac versions of Photoshop / Flash ? [01:33] john__: i set 755 for the user....is that not correct? [01:33] dotblank: where is the log located? [01:33] nexus74, hmm you can run windows ones with [01:33] !wine [01:33] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:33] read,write,acess [01:33] access [01:33] Right, I new about Wine, but my versions are now mac.. [01:34] er not for the user [01:34] i set 755 on the directory [01:34] anyway, how does wine affect the performance of the apps? [01:34] so do you think if i dont include airmon-ng start then i can get an authentification packet back? [01:34] is wine something that is maintained? [01:34] MrUnagi: try reading this http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html [01:34] nexus74, depends on the app [01:34] ok [01:34] John___, there is no "access" permission in linux/unix - there is X for "execute" which means something different when applied to directories [01:35] Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. [01:35] lbomberinsandals try h**p://code.google.com/p/fern-wifi-cracker/ [01:35] I don't see how md5 is suppose to do anything more than when you boot the disc and have it check itself for defects [01:35] I'm trying to install ASCIIquarium, but I've run into a problem. [01:35] i might be thinking something else [01:35] John___: ls -l returns drwxr-xr-x 3 waynrdude root 4096 2010-12-27 19:24 [01:35] hold on [01:35] I installed all of the required programs and they finish without any errors, but when I go to launch ASCIIquarium, I get -bash: ./asciiquarium: Permission denied [01:35] What could be the problem? [01:35] Snowikku: sudo? [01:35] who here uses Ubuntue for all there needs? [01:36] it said it's 100% verified, so I'm convinced the disc is fine...moving on, checking cables [01:36] hi guys [01:36] anyone know? [01:36] does anyone know how to install CMUS or MOC?? [01:36] I'm sure it's simple [01:37] albeit that program is neat id rather understand how to manually run the code [01:37] i dont see what i am doing wrong [01:38] SnowyOwl, are you getting this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/548113/ [01:38] MrUnagi: there is 3 permission that u set like: User, Group, Others [01:38] what kind of wireless card are you using? can it inject? [01:38] ZykoticK9, I typed perl asciiquarium, and it's working now -.- [01:38] weird [01:38] John___: 755 = user is at 7 group is at 5 and others is at 5 yes? [01:38] thats what im thinking that it not compatible [01:38] Why does ./asciiquarium not work? [01:39] while perl asciiquarium does? [01:39] SnowyOwl: its not set to a excutable file, or the first line of the script is not a proper #!/bin/perl [01:39] SnowyOwl, for me even using "perl asciiquarium" doesn't work? so no idea ;) Glad you got it working. [01:39] airmon-ng [01:39] what does it say [01:39] this isembarassingbut how can i check what wireless card i have [01:39] How would I make it an executable? [01:40] Thanks Dr-Willis and ZykoticK9, btw :) [01:40] SnowyOwl, "chmod +x asciiquarium" [01:40] thanks [01:40] !permissions | SnowyOwl [01:40] SnowyOwl: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:40] eh Snowikku you just give him the right to get execute [01:40] ok i got it [01:40] wlan0 Atheros ath9k - [phy0] [01:40] it has to be an executable or you talking about doing a script [01:40] That will work === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus [01:41] you on ubuntu or backtrack? [01:41] it works when i type ./asciiquarium now :) [01:41] backtrack 4 [01:41] !backtrack | bomberinsandals [01:41] this is cool [01:41] bomberinsandals: 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) [01:41] MrUnagi: try setting 775 and see if that works [01:41] you have the patched drivers [01:41] im not sure whats going on [01:42] what are you doing? [01:42] chmod 775? [01:42] now to move the files to a better location [01:42] like what do you mean [01:42] patched drivers? [01:42] can someone answer a question I have about some chat clients please [01:42] MrUnagi, 755 would give read/write to USER & GROUP, and Read to everyone else [01:43] airmon-ng start wlan0 [01:43] which group? [01:43] MrUnagi, sorry 775 i meant [01:43] ZykoticK9: do i have to set the chmod from the user i want it to affect [01:43] MrUnagi, the group that own the file/directory - use "ls -l" to see [01:43] Trea, what you question again ? [01:43] MrUnagi, it only affects the user/group that owns the file/directory - use "ls -l" [01:43] ZykoticK9: drwxr-xr-x 2 waynrdude waynrdude 4096 2010-12-27 19:24 [01:43] do you know of any that support webcams? [01:44] the first waynrdude is the user and second is the group right? [01:44] any what ? [01:44] under driver it says ath9k - [phy0] [01:44] chat clients [01:44] MrUnagi, right [01:44] meebo.com [01:44] MrUnagi: correct [01:44] you mean something like msn ? [01:44] best chat pogramm [01:44] ZykoticK9: i THINK my user was able to create directories but i cannot delete them [01:44] Hi, is there any way to encode videos in WMV9 format under linux ? [01:44] pidgin does webcam support for jabber as I remenber [01:44] use it in your browser [01:44] /w/ 1 [01:44] yea but I currently use pidgin but it doesn't support it for yahoo, haven't tried msn though [01:44] JohnnyJet: ffmpeg or mencoder. and the proper options. or front endd to those like winff [01:45] ok i got java sitting in downloads an cant figure out how to get terminal to let it download [01:45] aireplay-ng -9 mon0 <-----tests for injection [01:45] how can I convert an avi file to an mjpeg? [01:45] try for jabber Trea [01:45] MrUnagi, that i wouldn't be able to explain? [01:45] amsn does support webcam too for msn ofc [01:45] dec2010: ignore whatever you downloaded, add the partner repository, install sun-java6-plugin package [01:45] Dr_Willis, encode, not decode, to my knowledge ffmpeg does not encode in WMV9 [01:45] ZykoticK9: it may not actually be there, when i view them from my sftp client i do not see them [01:45] !partner | dec2010 [01:45] dec2010: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [01:45] ZykoticK9: only in ssh [01:45] Trea, skype =) [01:45] dotblank: any ideas? [01:45] JohnnyJet: check its faq./ its possbible the default version in ubuntu is missing some of the codecs. [01:46] nevermind [01:46] ubuntu 10.04 ... is there a special trick to bridge networking with bond0 ? [01:46] i'll stick with windows [01:46] ok it says injection is working [01:46] this is too complicated [01:46] dec2010, [01:46] ok tell me your issue [01:46] dec2010: have a nice day then. [01:46] Dr_Willis, i've been searching for hours, ffmpeg is not the solution [01:46] JohnnyJet: theres always mencoder. [01:47] running one line in terminal and installing a package is complicated? heh. [01:47] JohnnyJet: if neotehr of those cant do it.. id almost say its not doable then [01:47] no issue just want to download java without dealing with codes [01:47] :lighta thanks, but do you know of any that support yahoo and video within that? [01:47] then i want to install securities [01:47] ah dec2010 you can do that with sinaptic [01:47] Dr_Willis, unless I could get wine and windows media encoder working [01:47] airodump-ng --channel (ap is on) --write output --ivs mon0 [01:48] dec2010: the normal java in the repos works fine forme.. actually i think if you checked the proper option at the start of the installer it would have auto installed it. [01:48] I booted ubuntu on my cr-48 >.> anyone else doing this? I need help with mouse pad [01:48] Synaptic [01:48] s/sinaptic/synaptic/g [01:48] i have xubuntu 10-10 [01:48] oh perfect [01:48] I have xfce also [01:48] menu>accesory>ubuntu logiteque [01:49] MrUnagi: just check if u set ur sftp client correctly [01:49] ty lighta [01:49] dec2010, you'd better come in xubuntu instead [01:49] John___: i dunno what would need to be set?

[01:58] ubottu: why can't vlc be added to ubuntu by default? [01:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:58] thethinker: legal reasons - most likely [01:59] Plus it's Qt-based, and adding a bunch of Qt stuff to the default install would take way too much space.

[02:11] KarlHungus: could you elaborate on that claim? [02:11] gartral: preferably move you custom kernel code to a module and use akmod or dkms [02:11] ZykoticK9: I did, and it only works if what your pinning is already installed.

Do you guys happen to know why it isn't rendering? [02:12] KarlHungus: NOT possible, the BIOS boot stub is in the kernel. and it's signed and running from a TPM. [02:12] KarlHungus: it's a google cr-48 laptop. meant for the new chrome os [02:12] gartral: are you getting it prebuilt? or can you make a new one from sources? [02:13] KarlHungus: yes, prebuilt, no only the recovery kernel is availible out of source. [02:13] how can i work around the ubuntu install if I lose video when selecting options from the menu?

[02:16] i keep losing video when selecting an item from the install menu, any way to work around it? [02:17] but it tells me i am behind a firewall that is stopping the program from working correctly [02:17] tbruff13: ubuntu's software firewall is off by default... so you've either enabled it, or you're behind a router [02:17] Can anyone help me fix my wubi installation? [02:17] i downloaded one thinking it would help [02:17] help what? [02:17] if i uninstall it will it leave my computer open for any damage [02:17] tbruff13: it's not windows... [02:18] can someone help? [02:18] How skilled must one be in programming to join the ubuntu development team? [02:18] yes i know but ubuntu does have some bad content that lurks online [02:18] but i will disable this firewall [02:18] help! I've killed sound on my computer after trying to install the drivers from this link http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false [02:19] tbruff13: please link me to some of this "bad content"... i've been using Ubuntu for almost 5yrs, and have yet to run into it. [02:19] :( [02:19] ShapeShifter499, don't understand why would you do that, I'd check kernel logs [02:19] tbruff13: are you connected to a router? [02:19] psycho_oreos, how? [02:19] i was told by someone that wine could be used as a frontend for windows viruses to infect ubuntu [02:20] tbruff13: i wouldn't listen to that person anymore [02:20] KM0201: http://cve.mitre.org/ is a good place to start looking. [02:20] okay [02:20] tbruff13: bad contend that lurks onlike? I have to wonder what you are even refering to. [02:20] ShapeShifter499, you need to go into terminal and type in `dmesg' [02:20] tbruff13, most but not all, the malware fails to run in wine - but it's certainly possible [02:20] viruses [02:20] KarlHungus: i'll have to just trust you know i'm rolling my eyes [02:20] i need help turning off the firewall [02:20] tbruff13: possible, but highly unlikely (IMO) [02:20] tbruff13: wine has the ability to run window software.. so yes. that would include malware and so forth. [02:20] tbruff13: what firewall did you install exactly? [02:20] tbruff13: bull. 99.9999999999999% unlikely, wine (and other emus) are sandboxed the worst they could do is hog ram and cpu, and corrupt others in the wine userspace [02:21] tbruff13, you cannot turn off the firewall, it is integral part of kernel so to say [02:21] all i installed was a program from ubuntu software center called firewall configuration [02:21] a bad app in wine. could mess up your users home dir i guess.. but thats not going to infect the ssytem [02:21] psycho_oreos, actually the firewall isn't turned on in Ubuntu by default [02:21] psycho_oreos: it is "turned off"(ie, open out, open in) by default however [02:21] KM0201: :P but its true [02:21] ZykoticK9, more like what I thought as not configured, i.e. nothing on the rules table [02:21] KarlHungus: i geuss that depends on how gullible you ae. [02:21] *are [02:21] i know i think i acidently turned it on how do i turn it off [02:22] psycho_oreos, here is that output [02:22] psycho_oreos, http://pastebin.com/W5wAxfuk [02:22] tbruff13: rerun that gui tool you turned it on with? [02:22] k [02:22] How skilled must one be in programming to join the ubuntu development team? (question re-asked) [02:22] lol [02:22] psycho_oreos, I was trying to fix my sound problem, where sound was playing through the speakers and headphones at the same time [02:22] KM0201, still I believe it would still work if you add rules to the table, it'll block, pretty sure its active just with noting configured [02:22] k it is open [02:23] KarlHungus: I played around with that idea, but as long as i dont update kernel i should be aok [02:23] it says incoming deny outgoing allow [02:23] tbruff13: perhaps --> sudo ufw disable [02:23] !motu | bluezonee you might want to start here. good luck. [02:23] and if i fubar it all, i'll start over [02:23] bluezonee you might want to start here. good luck.: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [02:23] should i allow the incoming too [02:23] psycho_oreos: i don't know.. i don't think it is.... i'm behind a router though.. and when i've needed ports open, i just open my router, and it works [02:23] psycho_oreos, oh and when I try running alsamixer either as root or not I get this error "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" [02:24] tbruff13: as a test totally disable it [02:24] I know it may sound low precaution on securtity , but I need to not receive on boot GUI the keyring password screen unblocking window IOW have it permanently unblocked [02:24] can anyone give me a crashcourse in wpa cracking [02:24] !keyring [02:25] ShapeShifter499, seems like the driver isn't loaded judging by that dmesg output, lspci -k may also prove if there's driver loaded to the sound device [02:25] this is what i got back Dr_Willis [02:25] Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup [02:25] cntb: System -> Preferences -> Keychain and Passwords (or whatever it's called), in the window that pops up, right-click the entry for the login keychain and hit Change Password. Leave the new password boxes blank, click through the warning. [02:25] bomberinsandals, its off-topic, has nothing to do with ubuntu [02:25] sorry [02:25] what would be an appropriate chat room for it then? [02:26] ok now what about if it is the router causing the issue how would i fix that [02:26] rww thks [02:26] bomberinsandals, probably #aircrack-ng [02:26] thanks [02:26] psycho_oreos, hmmm http://pastebin.com/ceLW6ju5 [02:26] dude, freenode is lagging [02:26] KM0201, what I meant is that if you add a rule to the iptables table, like for example drop all outgoing packets it will do so without needing to be started [02:27] j [02:27] i need help, ive been having a problem i cant solve and i cant find any information online about it. it has to do with unetbootin and the startup disk creator, it installs fine to my 4gb usb but every time i try to boot from the usb drive i get the same error [02:28] How is it that sharing to a Windows network is still so infuriatingly impossible in today's day with Ubuntu [02:28] kernel_thread_helper 0x6/0x10 [02:28] magn3tz: what do you mean "sharing to a windows network? [02:28] ShapeShifter499, seems like its loaded, it just didn't create the necessry /dev/mixer I think.. [02:28] i have formated the drive over and over again, and formated the volume to recreate the mbr [02:28] needhelp1, which startup disk creator? [02:28] The Blizzard Downloader requires that TCP and UDP ports 3724, 4000, 6112, 6113, 6114 and 6881-6999 be forwarded. [02:28] psycho_oreos, from sy stem admin in ubuntu [02:29] this is the ports i need forwarded from my router how would i do that in ubuntu [02:29] KM0201: If I go in and "share" a folder with Nautilus, I assume taht should make that folder visible to Windows computers on the same network [02:29] magn3tz: how's it? install and configure samba; chck firewall = thats it [02:29] psycho_oreos, so how do I get it to create that? [02:29] tbruff13: that all has to e done in your router, has nothing to do w/ ubuntu.. you need to refer to your router documentation [02:29] needhelp1, why don't you just use unetbootin purely to download ubuntu iso and load it onto the USB drive? [02:29] I installed samba, the default cfg appears to be fine. Right-clikc "Share" and nothing shows up in windows. [02:29] aeon-ltd: what firewall? [02:29] psycho_oreos, i have, same error [02:29] i tried but i cant find my username i never put one in [02:29] magn3tz: uh, you have to set windows to look at the share [02:30] tbruff13: 1) Forwarding ports on a router is something you do on your router with a web browser, not a setting in Ubuntu. 2) Blizzard downloader doesn't /require/ ports be forwarded, it just wants you to so it can use your upload bandwidth to send patches to other users. [02:30] ShapeShifter499, was thinking if you can check to see that you can load the module in verbose mode [02:30] magn3tz: depends if you've set it up or not [02:30] KM0201: as in point it at \\cole-ubuntu-desktop\ [02:30] i need to edit the boot parameters because I lose video when using the traditional install, how do I do this? [02:30] pseubodot, i have used this same usb thumb drive before with unetbootin with a linux distro that worked fine [02:30] oh thanks rww [02:30] aeon-ltd: I haven't. [02:30] after the first use i keep getting this error though [02:30] needhelp1, not likely, if so, that error sounds more like kernel panic/oops which may also mean insupported kernel [02:30] magn3tz: do you have a folder set up to share now? [02:30] yes [02:30] KM0201: yes. [02:30] psycho_oreos, I'm still learning linux, how would I go about that? [02:30] magn3tz: open my computer [02:31] KM0201: okay. [02:31] and go to tools/map network drive [02:31] psycho_oreos, i know the kernal is supported because im using ubuntu now [02:31] magn3tz: choose a driver letter, then hit enter. [02:31] KM0201: it's not seeing the computer and trying to connect to it manually fails. I don't think Mapping a Network Drive is going to work, but I will try. [02:32] hold on [02:32] KM0201: yeah, dude, it's not showing up and its not accessible. [02:32] ShapeShifter499, `modinfo snd-hda-intel' from my output it seems like there's no verbose option [02:32] psycho_oreos, uh [02:32] psycho_oreos, ERROR: modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko: No such file or directory [02:32] magn3tz: can the two machines ping each other? [02:32] needhelp1, well that single line paste seems like it came from kernel spewing up, it might also be you trying to use a 64bit version of ubuntu when your computer can only handle 32bit [02:32] want to add a blacklist to ubuntu's filtering software, where to find them? [02:33] KM0201: I'm remoting into my Ubuntu machine from my couch, so yes, most definitely. [02:33] the iso i have is 32 bit, i double checked, and i checked the md5 wich was ok [02:33] KM0201: I also have SSHFS going from Ubuntu to Windows. [02:33] the iso i have is 32 bit, i double checked, and i checked the md5 wich was ok psycho_oreos [02:33] lol, that's the thing, I know what I'm doing and I still can't get it to work. Once a year I try this and I just leave frustrated. [02:34] magn3tz: Ia m interested in remoting my oldmans ubuntu lucid thru freeNX [02:35] question, what is the package for the service config? [02:35] cntb try x2go. it's easier to configure, has audio and folder sharing. uses the nx protocol but isn't compatible with other NX clients/servers. [02:35] cntb: x2go has clients for most all platforms [02:35] ShapeShifter499, ahh wait it says modules available but if that posted an error it seems like the necessary file is gone and the module list was not updated.. I'd probably check to see if there's traces of the file somewhere under that parent directory or at least under the kernel version, if not then chances are at minimum you'll need to reinstall kernel modules but better yet is to remove realtek's driver first [02:35] particularly samba config [02:36] will conside magn3tz but is not freeNX mostpopular and supported magn3tz ? [02:36] has anyone here ever seen an error for a usb boot from system disk creator or unetbooting regarding "Kernal_thread_helper" ?? [02:36] needhelp1, weird, well as far as I can tell its a line from kernel, you might want to try back tracing as to locate where was the originating source of conflict [02:36] psycho_oreos, it wont drop into a cli, just freezes the pc [02:36] cntb: idk, I had problems with freenx. [02:36] cntb, I install x2go-one and I was connected from my laptop 3 minutes later. [02:37] cntb, sound worked out of the box, etc. [02:37] psycho_oreos, um realtek's driver had a install script, but no uninstall script, so I don't know where and what to remove [02:37] needhelp1, which is what I meant, but I suppose the screen was scrolling fast prior to freeze? and that was the only line you saw? [02:37] well its going through a list of things, and stops on that .. i can see everything before [02:37] psycho_oreos, I just checked my filesystem and the file is no where in the directory [02:37] ok magn3tz link to follow if you are so kind pls? [02:37] lots of numbers .. like <[0312394] . [02:37] Yep, still no ubuntu desktop >_< [02:37] ShapeShifter499, maybe check the contents of the install file and see if the files were placed where the install said [02:38] cntb I added the repos: http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=7 installed x2go-one and it was done. really. [02:38] x2go-one resident on som erepo? magn3tz ? [02:38] needhelp1, before that, if you can't see it then you may need to readjust vga settings to enable more lines on the screen [02:38] k thks magn3tz [02:38] cntb, that link has the repositories [02:39] cntb, no problem. good luck [02:39] psycho_oreos, can you give me 5 mins i can write some down [02:39] * magn3tz is going to murder samba [02:39] needhelp1, err yeah sure, but like I said, that's usually serious if you saw lines about it, which ubuntu are you trying to boot via unetbootin anyway? [02:40] 10.10 [02:40] psycho_oreos, brb [02:40] and you're currently running 10.04? [02:40] hi [02:40] Hi, I'm currently awaiting an SSD in the post. Due to this I have two options open: clone my current HDD or a fresh install - which is better (either is fine). Secondly, is there a way if I do use the SSD fresh can I use the swap partition on the HDD, or create one as applicable? [02:40] hi hi. [02:41] Or should I put a swap partition on the SSD? [02:41] hey guys im having issues with a 10.04 server with root raid1'd. i used a live cd to edit a borked fstab and now it boots to initramfs [02:42] psycho_oreos, um ok so it looks like it auto compiles the driver from a .tar.bz2 full of the alsa source and I tried looking inside that but I can't find any info to as where the files got installed to [02:42] OH LOOK. It *still* doesn't show up [02:42] luciel, if you're new to linux I'd probably do fresh install, but cloning may just work without too much issues.. as for using swap partition on hard drive it should be possible with minor tweaking to /etc/fstab file [02:42] do not to say [02:43] ShapeShifter499, is it a Makefile? [02:43] psycho_oreos, Not that new, but not worked with an SSD before. [02:43] 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%. [02:44] psycho_oreos, oh ya the makefile lolz hold on [02:44] ok guys gotta noob question i am tryin to dual boot xp and zorin on 2 seperate HDD but i cannot get GRUB to work [02:44] i was messing with nfs, created a mount and added the line to fstab. i used the live cd to reert he [02:44] psycho_oreos, kernet_init [02:44] do_basic_setup [02:44] irq_to_desc [02:44] etc etc [02:44] luciel, I haven't worked with SSD either but I'm under the impression that they work the same as a normal hard drive without the usual mechanical sounds and what not. I guess no harm in cloning hard disk contents across to see if it works, if it doesn't then maybe you'll need to adjust the settings to make it work or to simply reinstall [02:45] revert the file, and now i get initramfs [02:45] how do i force delete failed downloads? [02:45] wtf [02:45] I can see my computer, I just can't use the hostname [02:45] what a load of crap [02:45] hello, i have a question [02:45] psycho_oreos, I'll pastebin the makefile [02:45] I received the /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/firefox-restart-required notification tonight except that firefox has not been upgraded or reinstalled (not by me anyway) - should I be worried? [02:46] i guess what i need is some 1 to walk me thru how to edit the GRUB file properly [02:46] needhelp1, what about a line or two leading up to the first lines of [] foo or whatever you may see? [02:46] i wish to make a reproducer video, how can i do? [02:46] cant see up that far [02:47] needhelp1, try readjusting the vga= line under isolinux [02:47] or err casper I think in that case [02:48] psycho_oreos, maybe i cant get around this entirely .. what im trying to do is .. do a fresh install of ubuntu .. if possible from within ubuntu [02:48] psycho_oreos, http://pastebin.com/QLZvE9gX [02:48] i installed originally with some personal information and i want to remove it [02:48] how do i force delete failed downloads in apt?? [02:49] psycho_oreos, Thanks. So similarly, if I use the visual install, setup / on the SSD and /home on the HDD and a swap partition on the HDD will the auto installer sort the rest? [02:49] psycho_oreos, i dont have a cd, and the usb isnt working [02:49] needhelp1, not easily no [02:49] luciel, it should iirc [02:50] hey does someone know wich software can convert my video file into wm9 [02:50] ? [02:50] use mencoder [02:50] mencoder is a software that convert videos into diferents formats [02:50] do you know if it support wm9 ? [02:51] i think so [02:51] or use, ffmpeg [02:51] sorry for my english [02:51] buenas? [02:51] hello? [02:51] needhelp1, I'd format the USB completely first, use unetbootin and then load it with the ubuntu iso and retry again.. failing that there's not much other alternatives apart from trying to locate the source of the problem or do dist-upgrade from your current release and hope that it still works (probably may want to backup important data first) [02:51] hola [02:52] masjota: hola [02:52] hola [02:52] como estas masjota? [02:52] lighta, there's a switch or so I believe under mplayer to see what -vo codecs are supported.. basically if mplayer supports it so does mencoder [02:52] why is downloads from cononical coming so slowly?

[02:55] no, the various canonical.com repositories are overloaded. [02:55] psycho_oreos, :/ [02:55] ShapeShifter499, there's an option to make uninstall [02:55] but in either case it may have borked your setup [02:55] I received the /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/firefox-restart-required notification tonight except that firefox has not been upgraded or reinstalled (not by me anyway) - should I be worried, potential security issue?

Not too sure what driver would be appropriate...

[03:13] russia, yes [03:13] provided that they are mounted of course [03:13] i'm using wubi to dual-boot ubuntu/windows, and am suddenly unable to boot to ubuntu, receiving the error message "unknown command (loadfont)". the problem seems to be documented at http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10165304, but i can't easily boot from a live cd - is there any way i can edit my grub.cfg from windows? [03:13] psycho_oreo: can tell me how to install vsftpd? [03:14] psycho_oreos: Would I need mount it with "sudo mount /windows/directory/here /newdirectory/ [03:14] Can anyone help me register my hostname on my network please [03:14] xfranz, why do you want to install it? you need to be able to know how to configure it afterwards [03:14] I have samba installed... I have my hostname set... my windows machine can access my IP, but it does not see it's hostname... [03:14] !mount| russia [03:14] russia: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [03:14] Hi there, I been using ubuntu for a year, and I just installed kde a couple weeks ago, since then, I been having problems with the audio (input and output), it works for a while, and suddlendly fail...Any healp pls? [03:15] god this is so frustrating [03:15] magnetzz, its the router that needs to be made aware of the hostname by resolving it, either that or you can manually add entry into windows === Abhinav11 is now known as Abhinav1 [03:16] * /etc/mpd.conf must have pid_file set; cannot stop daemon. [03:16] psycho_oreos: why can I type WINDOWS_MACHINE_HOSTNAME into ping and it works. [03:16] I didn't set it manually in the router... [03:16] hi guys [03:17] magnetzz, and you're pinging from the windows machine itself? [03:17] hey [03:17] hello , is there anyone know how to change the background color of the menuitem in GTK ? [03:17] psycho_oreos: I can ping my windows machine by hostname from ubuntu, but not the other way around. [03:17] for safety [03:17] nintnint: You need to edit /etc/mpd.conf and set some stuff up before it'll run. But once you do, you'll be able to start it (as a service). [03:17] is there an alternative to youtube-dl? [03:17] I didn't set anything in /etc/hosts or in the router to enable that. [03:17] Is this place safe [03:17] ? [03:17] I assume the router is aware via netbios, etc [03:17] answer me guys [03:17] Is this place safe? [03:18] Duwes: ? safe for what? [03:18] yah [03:18] Safe ? [03:18] i'm asking [03:18] yup [03:18] can't i be hacked here? [03:18] psycho_oreos: further, my router sees my cole-ubuntu-desktop hostname and is aware of it [03:18] i want to know how to install vsftpd for security [03:18] magnetzz, no idea, maybe linux has arp cached entries which maybe generated by other potential sources such as from samba for example, windows is pretty dumb on the other hand when it comes to interop [03:18] Duwes: You're fine. I have no idea what you're talking about. [03:19] ok thank you [03:19] xfranz, you might want to search for vsftpd-HOWTO on google to see what you're getting into [03:19] magnetzz thank you [03:19] duwes:i think it is you problem [03:19] thank you [03:19] what do you mean? [03:19] is there an alternative to youtube-dl? [03:19] duws: you can connect by proxy server [03:19] tdh20021: what do you mean? [03:19] acerB, that has got nothing to do with ubuntu [03:20] Duwes: hey [03:20] xfranz: hey [03:20] flannel: any idea what stuff? I've set up the proper files in the proper directories [03:20] duews: if you dont want to be hacked , you can connect by proxy [03:21] proxy isn't all that safe either [03:21] nope. freenode and #ubuntu block open proxies that aren't TOR [03:21] nintnint: There's a few things (passwords and such) that it mentions you need to set. Once you've done that, you should be able to start mpd (sudo service mpd start) [03:21] psycho_oreos, the prob is that when i want to download a vid from youtube for offline viewing it doesn't seem to download the videos [03:21] i want to learn how to hack can someone help me? [03:21] psycho_oreos: now i know [03:21] i've never neeeded to set up mpd with a password [03:21] Duwes: no [03:21] acerB, again, its not related to ubuntu, not in the remote sense [03:21] Duwes: if you mean cracking (criminal hacking) it is not permitted here [03:21] !offtopic| acerB [03:21] acerB: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:22] maco: i'm just joking [03:22] Duwes, I would recommend http://www.hackforums.net for your early start [03:22] rww, ahh my mistake, didn't know that was available [03:22] can you help me about internet security rather? [03:22] acerB: thank you acerb how nice of you [03:23] "Internet Security"? [03:23] lol #ubuntu's the wrong place for any/all of that [03:23] no brobs Duwes [03:23] Why are our IPs are visible? [03:24] im having issue with ubuntu server starting up it asks me a question but i cant type i troubleshooted all the most common things like maybe my keyboard and stuff but my real question is whats the best way to get my /var/www/ files off the hardrive [03:24] how can u say its safe here for hacking when the IPs are visible? [03:24] !cloack > Duwes [03:24] acerB: I've found that if you go to youtube-dl's site, you can get the latest there and it works [03:24] mmm no cloack fact [03:24] when you fart and noones around does it still smell??

[03:25] ubottu: thank you very much [03:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:26] yes [03:26] Duwes: IPs are visible by default because that's how IRC works. It's also how HTTP and email work. [03:26] rww: thank you for the information [03:26] this irc is cool guys [03:26] the bot is cool [03:27] that's a wee bit too specific, I think you can change the colors of menus themselves, but menu items, that's up to the icon. I doubt that gnome is diverse enough to support such a thing. [03:27] Duwes, think of it as flashin a badge around with ur name on it [03:27] how is that?

[03:30] I'm using dyndns; Were I using just an ip, I'd throw something in /etc/hosts so I could just do somthing like ssh mybox. How do I do something like that when rather than resolving an ip I've got to resolve a hostname in /etc/hosts? [03:30] soreau: I will start the session, and if I play a video, it may work or it will suddlendly stop working in any minute [03:31] soreau: Not just with a video, with everything, it suddlendly stop working. Input and Output [03:31] Paolo_CT: Have you checked the audio setting in kde panel? Are you using pulseaudio? [03:34] soreau: Yes, about puseaudio I just kill the process and start it again, but nothing happened [03:34] why do i not have permission to download from sftp.....which permission is that? [03:34] Paolo_CT: Do you still have gnome installed or how did you install kde? [03:35] soreau: I still have gnome [03:35] Paolo_CT: If you log into gnome does it work ok? [03:35] soreau: Nop, It doenst work the sound [03:36] Paolo_CT: It doesn't work at all in gnome or it just has the same intermittent problem? [03:36] soreau: I was just trying to think about that, but I dont really remember, I will log into gnome and came back in here === amalloy is now known as amalloy_ === xfranz is now known as espansbab [03:37] how can i hide my IPadd here [03:37] !cloak | espansbab [03:37] espansbab: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode?

[03:40] MrUnagi: Does the user you're logging in as over sftp have permission to read the files you're trying to download? [03:40] i get permission denied when trying to download but not when upload [03:40] mrunagi: if root is creatign the files etc in the ftp account root directory , you need to adjust the ownership and group id before because the ftp user wont have the same uid and giud as root, [03:40] hey... I have an Ubuntu 9.04 machine thats is responding "It works!" on port 80 but I cannot seem to find where it is running that from... :/ [03:40] rww: chown is set to the user and chmod is 755 [03:40] skraps: it is a file that the user uploaded [03:40] UncleChips: /var/www === vampiro is now known as ^^-|-VaMp|Ro-|-^ [03:41] 744 [03:41] ty rdw200169 [03:41] mrunagi 744 is rwx r r [03:41] UncleChips: fyi, 9.04 reached end of life in October and is no longer receiving security updates. It isn't supported in this channel, and it's strongly recommended that you upgrade to a supported version.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:42] hi all [03:42] asdasd [03:42] rww: I sure am, in about a week I'll have 10.10.. but its a dedicated vps so I need to have the guys clean install without all the garbage disabling updates and other 3rd party junk [03:42] nevermind i think it was just the one file [03:42] UncleChips: okay :) [03:43] UncleChips: for the standard apache installation, your website should reside, in some way, shape, or form, in /var/www with the owner/group as www-data (this way you don't get crazy 'no permission' stuff when you browse your site). furthermore, you should reference how to set up a basic apache configuration for your server, so you can have directories, and such [03:44] I noticed even after sudo apt-get remove apache2 lighttpd ... that I still get responses on port 80 saying 'It Works' because this is what is in /var/www/index.html .... is this normal for having removed the 2 apps? [03:45] UncleChips: they are still in ram.. stop the service perhaps [03:45] soreau: Hi, I just restarted my system into gnome, the sound wasnt working at all now [03:45] why is Ubuntu 32 recommended on the Ubuntu page? Is there a bug in the 64 bit version that stands out over normal bugs? [03:46] does anyone use myth tv? [03:46] enyawix: yes, FLASH [03:46] myth tv rocks [03:46] enyawix: no, it's recommended so that people who don't know what version to get get one that works on most things [03:46] enyawix: Flash works fine for me. [03:46] #ubuntu-es [03:47] enyawix: mostly b/c you only need 64 bit for crazy math/physics or if you have greater than 8GB of ram [03:47] UncleChips: Just removing "apache2" doesn't remove the server, you'll need to remove a few more packages. Assuming you're on a recent version and picked the defaults: sudo apt-get purge apache2-mpm-worker apache2.2-common apache2.2-bin apache2-suexec apache2-doc apache2-utils [03:47] Paolo_CT: But it was working in gnome before you installed kde, right? [03:47] soreau: Right [03:48] Dr_THanks Flannel, I'm doing that right now... [03:48] rdw200169: 64bit is over ten years old why wont 32 die [03:48] soreau: It stop working after I installed Skype in KDE (I doubt that was the cause, but after I remove skype, there was no change) [03:48] thanks for the help [03:48] ARGH [03:48] Would xubuntu run on a 2ghz/256ram laptop better than XP? [03:49] enyawix: Because 64bit has little advantage [03:49] enyawix: probably b/c of the storm AMD weathered some 20-odd years ago when they release a 64-bit only proc. [03:49] CP2100: perhaps.. Lubuntu may work even better [03:49] soreau: Again, that might be just a coincidence [03:49] Paolo_CT: So it was fine for a while before installing skype? [03:49] soreau: YEs [03:49] Anyone had trouble mounting a Christmas present in Lucid? I'm having trouble with a philips mp3 player. lsusb shows it, but it won't mount. [03:49] Is Lubuntu stable? [03:49] ... THERE we go, the web server is gone... now I can clean re-install it to get wtorrent going... thanks you guys! :D [03:49] CP2100: probably - I have win xp and ubuntu 10.04 (lts) on a compaq deskpro 733 mhz 384M o ram [03:49] CP2100: works decently well here. [03:49] soreau: I installed skype using Ubuntu Tweak [03:50] Paolo_CT: Try removing the config files for skype and make sure no skype processes are running [03:50] Paolo_CT: What else did you do with ubuntu tweak? [03:50] Paolo_CT: skype had some issues earlier in the week w/ their servers... i just downloaded the .deb from skype.com and it works [03:50] ubuntu tweak...lol, is it possibly worse than wubi? [03:51] KM0201: Update repos, installed software, clean after that [03:51] Dr_Willis: I am 100% Linux noob. So I am looking for something to replace Windows without any real effort to play roms (nes and snes) along with use facebook/youtube and maybe some flash games on websites. === amalloy is now known as amalloy_ [03:51] Ive had no issues with 'ubuntu-tweak' [03:51] CP2100: lubuntu can cover the basics.

[03:52] KM0201: No, The sound (Input and Output) stop working, right after I installed skype [03:52] CP2100: NES and SNES wise, try ZSNES which should have a linux version [03:52] hmm [03:52] KM0201: And now (after removing it) still doesnt work [03:52] thats odd [03:53] CP2100 ubuntu or mandrake would be great for you [03:53] soreau: No process are running, and the config file (should be in ~/.skype?) is empty [03:53] And Sega roms too, obv. But I just dont want to have to keep trying different distros to find one I like. I already tried Puppy which was really messy on start up and took like 30 minutes for me to figure out how to do wireless adapter to work. [03:54] I just want to make sure what distro I choose will run better than XP on my 256 ram cpu. [03:54] CP2100: 30 min in puppy.. heh.. thats odd.. === amalloy_ is now known as amalloy [03:54] psycho_oreos, you still there? [03:54] Well I didn't know what I was doing and had to do trial and error. [03:54] CP2100: if you want uber-minimal-roll-your-own - theres 'tiny core linux' but i would say - try lubuntu [03:54] CP2100: facebook games work fine but farm town is broken [03:55] KM0201: I was thinking about reinstalling, but before that, in the case that is a bug, I want to see if I could give any information that could be helpfull [03:55] Paolo_CT: Its pretty obvious that something you have installed messed things up.. if you want a better kde experience, you might be better off trying kubuntu from a live cd and see if it works. If it still has the same problem, you can file a bug [03:55] Paolo_CT: honestly, i don't know.. skype works flawlessly for me.. [03:55] I will try Lubuntu. [03:56] psycho_oreos, sounds back but I still have that other issue where the computer can't tell when the headphones are plugged in and I have to manually set it in sound preferences [03:56] soreau: Thanks for your time, I will reinstall tomorrow. [03:56] is there a not so serious ubuntu channel? [03:56] not so crowded [03:56] CP2100: if you have 356 ram you need to hack ubuntu [03:56] KM0201: Thank you for your help. Will reinstall after all [03:56] CP2100: it probably wont run "better" [03:56] ! ot | unrealjeff [03:56] unrealjeff: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I tried to scan with avira from usb but it doesn't scan the encrypted files, what scanner should i use now? [03:57] CP2100 ubuntu starts many services at boot you simply do not need [03:57] soreau: thanks! :D [03:57] KM0201: Thanks anyway :D [03:59] anyone know if there's anythign that terminates background processes (or nohup'd processes) after 90 minutes?

[04:00] CP2100: just google for BUM. BUM = boot up manager [04:01] enyawix: why use google? use synaptic and install it. CP2100 [04:01] I am downloading Lubuntu right now. I have bad internet. Says it will take 2 hours. :\ [04:02] bastidrazor: i do not know if you have it. i do not run ubuntu. that is for my girlfriends computer [04:02] anybody on here good with drivers? [04:02] CP2100: torrents are handy [04:02] caboose885: drivers for...? [04:02] caboose885: perhaps be a bit more clear in the problem. :) [04:02] caboose885: i can help [04:03] CP2100: with specs like tat lubuntu sounds about right, Flash and Firefox should work fine, zsnes for your SNES games, not sure about your NES and SEGA games... [04:03] Dell Duo....brand new and the touch screen is screwed up [04:03] * KM0201 once taught a drivers ed class [04:03] Diamondcite: Okay [04:03] It works in Windows *shudder* [04:03] but when I boot in to ubuntu back to back its no longer functional [04:03] Dr_Willis: Yeah. Torrents are good, but I am fine with waiting. [04:03] caboose885: it's fairly irrelevant that it works in Windows... [04:03] it works if I reboot from Windows to Ubuntu but not if I just boot into Ubuntu [04:04] I think its a calibration deal [04:04] allt hat proves, it's nt a hardware problem [04:04] CP2100: If asked to make one, please consider making a swap partition (if it doesn't do it automatically?) [04:04] a swap partition? [04:04] I know windows doesn't have anything to do it but I know its not a hardware issue [04:04] i just ordered laptop with ATI switchable graphics. the switching probably doesn't work on linux but is there usually easy way to kill the integrated gpu and use the discrete one all the time? [04:04] BIOS [04:04] CP2100: like the windows swap file [04:04] <-newb [04:05] CP2100: Err.. Window has a swap file in C:\, linux uses a swap partition, a space dedicated to putting things which don't fit in ram and aren't currently active. [04:05] Okay, so make swap if asked. [04:05] TMN_: The radeon driver has great support for ATI cards now. Turn onboard gpu off in your system bios [04:05] CP2100: linux can do a actual swap file with loop [04:05] but that is slower [04:06] CP2100: Your homework for example, will probably be in swap more often than facebook =P [04:06] if anyone is interested here is the running thread of the Dell Duo Issues...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1628232 [04:07] soreau: awesome. thanks. how is 3d support of radeon driver? haven't dealt with ati on linux in years [04:07] anyone here using the cloud server? if so did you like it? [04:07] TMN_: i'm using radeon on an X1200 and everything works [04:08] sounds good [04:09] TMN_: the last 2 releases of ubuntu have vastly improved ATI support. all has worked well for me since 9.10 [04:09] bastidrazor: My ATI Support dropped in 10.04 + [04:09] My ATI Radeon X1400 is glitchy now [04:09] caboose885: whats your device? [04:09] i'm still on 10.04 [04:10] its sometimes unusable [04:10] When I run the ubuntu virusscanner, it finds 500 viruses on the encrypted home partition (recursive scan file system), but freezes before i can delete them. I tried to scan from usb boot with avira, but it doesn't scan the encrypted files. What should i try now? [04:10] I wnat to remove php5-cgi but it keeps trying to install apache [04:10] JesusBond: 500?...lol [04:10] god I can't get anything to work right today [04:10] i'm still on 9.10 [04:10] TMN_: The support is very good, especially for 3D in chips r3-5xx. The r6-r8xx support is growing rapidly and many things already work well [04:10] magnetzz, apt-get remove php5-cgi [04:11] @KM0201: I filed a bug with the Launchpad but its still being fixed....I'm assuming [04:11] caboose885: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [04:11] magnetzz: Is the apache install failing and therefoer you cannot remove php5-cgi? [04:11] jon8_: right, it then tries to install apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common BlueEagle [04:11] soreau: 10.10 [04:11] BlueEagle: no, apache was installed, I removed it and it installed php5-cgi [04:11] I know this isn't strictly an ubuntu question at all, but I'm not getting much assistance elsewhere: is it possible, given the google chrome / firefox cached files for a certain (css, in this case) page, to recreate the original source? [04:11] magnetzz, when using 'apt-get remove' its trying to install something? [04:11] hmm. [04:11] KM0201: Do you have an idea how to scan enncrypted home partition alternatively? [04:11] caboose885: What is glitching exactly? [04:12] Hello, would anyone happen to know if the problem with Ubuntu 10 and Macs is fixed? It had to do with no X. [04:12] magnetzz: Any useful error messages? [04:12] Assuming it's fixed, I'ma try to upgrade. [04:12] JesusBond: no i don't... what virus scanner are you using again [04:12] soreau: the screen will flicker almost. Sometimes the driver totally crashes and kills the computer [04:12] !mac [04:12] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [04:12] caboose885: Are you using kms?

[04:12] no its a laptop [04:12] obiyoda what video card? [04:12] caboose885: Pastebin your X log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log file) [04:13] KM0201: the one from ubuntu and another one from avira for usb. but avira doesn't scan the encrypted files [04:13] It's not an error..... [04:13] It just does it [04:13] obiyoda: does it eventually get to the desktop?.. my screen is usually black until it hits the sign on screen... also, during hte "black screen".. hit escape, and see what the terminal is doing [04:13] its nvidia not sure of the make [04:13] obiyoda: check this out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [04:13] KM0201, I can't don anything won't let me switch to a terminal just seems kind of stuck [04:13] JesusBond: i dunno, maybe try avast for linux?.. i've used it w/ pretty good luck (never on an encrypted partition though) [04:14] obiyoda: is it a live cd, or an install? [04:14] obiyoda: Try turning off modeswitch. [04:14] KM0201, trying the livecd [04:14] BlueEagle, how do I turn that off? [04:15] obiyoda: well, usualy, if you hit escape(do it right after you choose to try ubuntu).... you'll see what is happening, and you can see where it is freezing [04:15] Does anyone have any suggestions for getting multitouch working on 10.04 for Ubuntu? [04:15] Ja23: whats the device? [04:15] obiyoda: First screen that the install shows you can press an F-key (I beleive F6) for advanced and turn it off. If you've already installed it you need to modify your grub.conf [04:15] KM0201: i need to know before i download the scanner [04:15] Ja23: Have you install the uTouch package? [04:15] The touchpad on a new HP [04:15] JesusBond: well, i really don't know.. [04:15] Can anyone recommend the best way to back up a mounted partition? [04:16] * KM0201 thinks encrypted linux partitions are more trouble than they're worth [04:16] Ja23: Oh I thought you meant multi touch as in a tablet pc [04:16] Caboose885: hehe, yeah I wish [04:16] Ja23: what exactly do you want the multitouch to do? [04:17] Caboose885: two fingered scrolling, hoping it cleans up the way the trackpad works now [04:17] KM0201: thanks anyway [04:17] Ja23: the two finger scrolling (if you can do it without tweaking) should be a quick toggle in the Mouse Properties [04:17] caboose: the buttons are also part of the track pad, so dragging to select text does not work correct [04:17] It's greyed out [04:17] Can anyone recommend the best way to back up a mounted *ext3* partition? :) === al3x is now known as Guest37938 [04:18] Ja23: can you send me a link to the website that has your laptop specs?

I can get into it now Had to first press escape to get into the menu though. [04:21] Curious, I'm using Empathy, is there anyway to ask it not to show the connects, disconnects and timeouts? They clutter up the screen sometimes [04:21] I'm trying to use a sixaxis controller over usb. I don't have bluetooth, and apparently that's all sixpair deals with. Ubuntu community docs don't seem to be useful here. Halp plz.

[04:27] rythmbox tries to install but can't find it [04:27] soreau, and ? [04:27] paissad: You do not want to use sources for other versions of ubuntu because it can mess up your package manager [04:27] em: depends on your connection. [04:27] em: totally depends on the seeders and your connection [04:27] and Ubuntu torrents have plenty of seeders [04:27] em: on release day - i was getting the iso's in under 10 min. [04:27] 10.10 alt does for i386 and amd64, anyway [04:27] paissad: You are on maverick but using a repo for lucid [04:27] em: unless you have a slow connection, yes thats unusual... i usually torrent the ubuntu cd's down in about 10-15min tops [04:28] soreau, because, the package was not built for Maverick yet [04:28] well this is an alt 10.10 amd64 [04:28] caboose885: Talk in the main channel here [04:28] <_Synergy_> I just installed 10.04 and have no sound.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:28] em: probably irrelevant, usually the ubuntu ISO"s are very well seeded [04:29] I'm trying to install wtorrent with this guide http://www.wtorrent-project.org/trac/wiki/DebianInstall but it won't pull the svn file svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.wtorrent-project.org': Connection refused' [04:29] Does the CD/DVD burner program that comes with Ubuntu burn iso files/images? [04:29] soreau, but in any cases, i should get the package when i run 'apt-get install' no ? [04:29] yes [04:29] does anyone else have issues trying to get the svn files for wtorrent? [04:29] caboose885: This command should spit back a link to the file: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [04:29] soreau: What other program besides Vi can I use to open my /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [04:29] Or do I need a different program to make an ISO file a proper CD [04:29] Fezzler: it should... i don't use brasero though, i always use gnomebaker... i know it does [04:30] paissad: You should never use a repo for any version of ubuntu other than what you are running [04:30] Fezzler, it does burn ISOs [04:30] caboose885: probably gedit.. or whatever other editor you have on your machine. [04:30] soreau, ok then ! but is it possible anyway [04:31] fg [04:31] KM0201: Gedit complains about the character [04:31] sorry, i thought i was in a terminal ^^ [04:31] paissad: Is what possible?

[04:31] paissad: No, dont try that [04:32] soreau, ok i won't [04:32] caboose885: change anything?.. why would i change a log [04:32] paissad: Remove any sources that arent for maverick and apt-get update [04:32] anyone can help me with this issue: audio/x-imelody decoder??

[04:32] soreau, mplayer & mencoder multithreaded [04:32] mencoder-mt, mplayer-mt [04:33] soreau, when i use debian-multimedia.org repository, its packages are too recent and the dependencies became quickly a big mess [04:34] KM0201: I will have to paste the log some other time. My internet has shut off and the only reason I'm still on is because it doesn't kill active connections [04:35] anyone in here from yesterday that was helping me?? [04:35] caboose885: do you use ssh at all? [04:35] gartral_: I have in the past but my server doesn't do much good when its in the same room as me [04:36] paissad: Yes, as I said Do Not use repos for other distros or versions of ubuntu other than what you are currently running or else your package system will explide [04:36] explode* [04:37] soreau, so you think i should also avoid using debian-multimedia.org repo ? [04:37] paissad: Is that what you are currently running? [04:37] paissad: debian-multimedia.net, unsurprisingly, is built for Debian. Therefore, it's a repo for another distro... [04:38] heh.. [04:38] soreau, not currently, i tried .. but its packages are too recent compared to the official one of Ubuntu, Medibuntu ... hence, i would have to satisfy too much dependencies (almost tricky & impossible ^^) [04:39] thanks anyway for the advices ^^ [04:39] i give up [04:39] paissad: Medibuntu is in no way official. [04:39] It does, however, tend to work :\ [04:39] rww, yes i know [04:40] i did not express myself correctly , sorry [04:40] paissad: If you cant find a ppa providing what you want, you might be able to build it yourself from source === sanchaz is now known as sanchaz-away [04:41] soreau, yep, i got to build then [04:41] can any one help me?

In fact all that happens is the screen saver kicks in then screen blacks out but computer doesnt sleep any help would be apperciated, have tried python and bash scripts... still no luck [04:41] Hey guys, is there a way to make a live cd based on my current configuration to be able to reinstall my system with a bigger partition size later? [04:41] I instaleld via the wubi installer, and am wanting to make it a permanent thing [04:42] Know1edge: not to my knowledge... you *might* be able to back up a wubi home, and import it on a regular install /home.. but hoestly, i don't think i'd chance it... wubi is just.. ::shutters:: [04:43] needlez: Totem likely disables the mode and should re enable it where its not [04:43] needlez: Try a different player like mplayer [04:43] wubi should have been named wobbly [04:43] soreau: forgot to mention same issue in VLC, and mplayer also [04:43] Ah ok, I guess I can just reinstall all of the software I have [04:44] once I figured out I can run photoshop via wine...i have 0 need for windows now [04:44] Know1edge: make sure you uninstall wubi completely, before you attempt to install ubuntu on its own partition [04:44] KM0201: I will thanks [04:44] needlez: Set the player to exit after the video playback is complete [04:44] <_Synergy_> I just installed 10.04 and have no sound.

[04:45] KM0201 Why is that ? :P [04:45] Know1edge: cuz the first minor issue you run into, you're gonna nuke linux and reinstall windows... i'd recommend dual booting for at least a few months. [04:45] soreau: its a nvidia 310M graphics card with the driver version 260.19.06 [04:45] Know1edge: unless youhave spare computers around...

I used SYSLINUX, everything booted fine [05:18] the ubuntu dots came up, then I got that error [05:19] oh and what about network file sharing between OS'es? specifically getting to my media folder from my desktop with windows running while ubuntuing on my netbook? [05:19] francisco_, I had a broadcom NIC that didn't work with linux well... now I have an intel NIC that does [05:19] i've not been able to get it and everything i google gives me solutions for like 7.10 [05:20] I added a ppa with add-apt-repository, I ran update, it connects to the server fine, when I go into synaptic, the ppa is not there. [05:20] how do you know its not there? [05:21] mgolisch: Sort by Orig [05:21] Can someone please help me? I was messing with /etc/hosts but I've restored it. My browsers won't load pages, it takes a long time to connect to irc [05:21] I don't know what I did, but I desperately need help. [05:22] Alexxxx: you should be able to browse your windows shares just fine [05:22] magn3ts: if you can't get help in here, try ##networking [05:22] i'm having a tough time using the At utility. i want to put my computer to sleep at a certain time, so i'm trying "/etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep" | at now, but this doesn't do anything [05:22] magn3ts: have you done a reboot since you restored your /etc/hosts? [05:22] well i've been trying and i can't get it [05:23] I borked an install (on a friend's machine) by trashing the hosts file [05:23] couldn't sudo :( [05:23] The stupid file looks fine though. [05:23] Xoke: I recently just repaired my system after destroying 90% of /bin/ and /libs/ [05:23] everything takes ages to load [05:23] magn3ts: have you done a reboot since you restored your /etc/hosts? [05:23] greppy, yes [05:23] ubuntu 8.10 was amazing [05:24] Alexxxx: hm you can try smb://ip/ in nautilus to directly browse that computers shares [05:24] Maahes, well wouldn't be the first time I trashed my Ubuntu install lol [05:24] 3 ping packets took 18 seconds [05:24] Alexxxx: if its not listed if you go to network [05:24] Xoke: I had no sudo, no bash, no cd, ls, etc. [05:24] magn3ts_: that doesn't sound like an /etc/hosts problem... but I could be wrong, can you paste your /etc/hosts? [05:24] !paste | magn3ts_ [05:24] magn3ts_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [05:25] those pastebins won't even load [05:25] Maahes, ouch [05:25] than* [05:25] oops wrong window [05:25] I added a ppa with add-apt-repository, I ran update, it connects to the server fine, when I go into synaptic, the ppa is not there. [05:26] anyone know why this might happen and or how I can fix it? [05:26] it would probably help me to try this with windows booted [05:27] Maahes: did you add the gpg key for the repo you added?? also can you run sudo apt-get update from terminal and pastebin your errors if any [05:27] Maahes: you see that it actualy downloads stuff from that repo if you update your packagelist? [05:33] anyone have any recommendations on a bookmarking/connection manager for handling many ssh connections? [05:34] Has anyone had problems with brasero and burning DVDs in10 [05:34] I'm going to lose my mind. [05:34] greppy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/548145/ [05:34] anyway to stream video from an sftp? [05:34] mgolisch: Yes. I have some duplicate entries in my sources though, deleting that and seeing what happens. needlez apt-add-repository gets the key for you automagically [05:35] .04 b/c I try to burn ISO to DVD -r and it keeps coming up as error b/4 it even starts to burn [05:35] naiad: I'm not sure but I think nautilus does that for you, I should test to verify [05:35] whats the best linux distro to install on a macbook? not talking about dual booting, talking about replacing the OS entirely [05:35] Ironictiger, I recommend Debian... [05:36] Maahes: ok just was wondering about that hmm not sure then what to do [05:36] ok I am confused I ran sudo tune2fs -r 0 -m 0 /dev/sdd1 on a drive I just got and it still showing 29.42GB used on a 2TB drive (empty drive)? any advice [05:36] I can't remember the last time I was this close to just kickign the crap out of my computer [05:36] there is no explanation for this whatso ever. It seems to be taking ages to get a dns fix [05:36] Ironictiger, see http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook [05:36] thats the only explanation I acn see [05:37] laurus, thanks [05:37] Ironictiger, you're welcome! [05:38] Ironictiger, for help go to #debian :) [05:38] They can answer your detailed questions. [05:38] thanks! [05:38] No problem :) [05:38] magn3ts: remove lines 3,4 and 5 [05:39] magn3ts: also can you paste /etc/resolv.conf? [05:39] greppy, resolve is just my router already checked it [05:40] Okay I am in virtual box and am running XP and vm and. Wanted to know if I can select my CD rom drive as the CD rom drive instead of virtual box additions [05:41] greppy, no progress sadly [05:41] Every single time it's a new domain it takes forever to load. I don't know where it's getting it's DNS lookups from, but I feat that's the problem. [05:42] ? [05:42] yes siree, I'd happily pay a large sum of money to just have this fixed. [05:43] anyone? [05:43] I know I've heard about this before... having terribly slow DNS for some small reason [05:43] I just don't remember the fix [05:45] does anyone know about laptop mode? [05:45] !anyone | cowslammer [05:45] cowslammer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:45] Does anyone know if Ekiga development is dead or not? [05:46] does anyone know about laptop mode? [05:46] is there a command line application that can easily sort a text file by the first character of each line? [05:46] Ed_Money: 'sort' [05:46] Laurus: I don't think it is dead b/c the ekiga mailing lust is very active [05:47] added benefit: it then goes on to sort by the second, third, nth, characters if the first characters match :\ [05:47] ghostnik11, really, that is very good to hear... [05:47] magn3ts: Your router or ISP probably can't deal with ipv6 properly. [05:47] ghostnik11, I was upset to see that Ekiga had been "replaced" by Empathy [05:47] Just does anyone here have a seedbox [05:47] ok I am confused, I ran sudo tune2fs -r 0 -m 0 /dev/sdd1 on a drive I just got and it still showing 29.42GB used on a 2TB drive (empty drive)? any advice [05:47] is it normal for mutter to take up 33% of CPU on eeepc? [05:47] Laurus: what do u mean? [05:47] ghostnik11, the default install of Ubuntu now comes with Empathy rather than Ekiga if i'm not mistaken... [05:48] i want to use laptop mode to reduce the frequency of disk writes. does anyone know how to do that? [05:48] ghostnik11, so I'm afraid of people losing interest in Ekiga... [05:48] Svr_Sakura: wouldn't surprise me. mutter doesn't work well at all in my experience. [05:48] thx [05:49] I was trying mutter out at work (on 10.10) and yeah I got horrible responses [05:49] took most memory and CPUs [05:49] do u think metacity would use less? [05:49] although that should (in theory) be fixed in 11.04 [05:49] Laurus: oh yeah they changed that b/c I think of the social interaction of empathy but if people knee they could use Google voice and ekiga to make free phone calls through sip [05:49] memory's ok it's only using 2.1% [05:49] Does anyone here use a seedbox at all [05:49] Svr_Sakura: compiz uses less than mutter, in my experience. Ubuntu's moving to it for the netbook edition in 11.04, thankfully. [05:49] ghostnik11, quick question about that, do you find there is a delay? [05:50] ghostnik11, yeah. I just want Ekiga to keep going! :) [05:50] rww a n00bish question... but how do you change mutter to compiz? [05:50] Xoke: yeah sometimes but its very rare for me b/c I use Verizon fios [05:51] Svr_Sakura: the 10.10 version of Ubuntu Netbook Edition requires mutter. If you want to keep its interface, you have to use it. [05:51] rww thx [05:51] ghostnik11, I tried ekiga + voice a while ago and noticed a lag, that was all :) [05:52] Laurus; it is but u have to sign up for ekiga mailing list to here some of the stuff ekiga is coming out with I think there will be a new ekiga coming out [05:52] ghostnik11, oh really? [05:52] lol the only reason i use ubuntu is coz i like the UI xD [05:53] Every god damn time I think it's fixed, I click a new link and sure enough DNS is still takin an hour to resolve. I feel like crying. [05:53] Svr_Sakura, I have a machine running 11.04 beta and you can pick 'ubuntu desktop classic' and have the old style if you want :) [05:53] Xoke: the lag is more on my phone when I make free calls through sipdroid connected to Google voice over T-Mobile network lag is at least a good 3 to 4 secs [05:53] magn3ts: did you try bind9? [05:53] what is that? I'd happily try it. [05:53] ghostnik11, was my old machine so that might have something to do with it also :P [05:54] i want to use laptop mode to reduce the frequency of disk writes. does anyone know how to configure it? [05:54] magn3ts: that's a dns server that will run on your ubuntu [05:54] magn3ts: instead of using the server that is provided from your isp you can run your own dns server [05:55] sacarlson, other computers on my network aren't having this problem and it just started tonight. I'm not looking for instantaneous results, but it's litreally taking a minute up to 5 to resolve my requests [05:55] magn3ts: try using 8.8.8.8 as your dns server in /etc/resolv.conf instead of your router. [05:55] magn3ts: are the other system windows? they have there own hardwired dns backup [05:56] cowslammer, unless anyone has a better way you can change the 'swappiness' in a config file somewhere... but I forget which [05:56] magn3ts: did you try the dns test utility called dig? [05:56] greppy, already tried alt dns servers including that one at the router and nm-applet level [05:56] sacarlson, not yet, I'm going to use it to get some solid numbers in a sec [05:56] Is there any chance winbind could have done this? [05:57] Laurus: actually I think it already came out and it is 3.2.7 sorry [05:57] magn3ts: I would first compare your isp dns with opendns.org , then compare that with you own installed bind9 server [05:57] ghostnik11, yes, I have that version :) Thanks! [05:57] magn3ts: the other option I would look at would be a firewall problem, but except for iptables I won't be much help :) [05:57] No firewall, no iptables . :( [05:57] I removed winbind and rebooted and it might be fixed now [05:57] It's all much more tolerable at least. [05:57] i want to use laptop mode to reduce the frequency of disk writes. does anyone know how to configure it? [05:59] hello [05:59] tbruff13: hi friend [05:59] magn3ts: oh I never thought of that, winbind could conflict, I think you can change the order it uses if you use multiple dns methods [05:59] i want to use laptop mode to reduce the frequency of disk writes. does anyone know how to configure it? [05:59] !repeat | cowslammer [05:59] cowslammer: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:59] :P I think it was winbind. It's the only thing I can think of really [05:59] can i please have some help with a world of warcraft issue under wine [06:00] umm I am confused df -h shows /dev/sdd1 used 196M yet GParted shows 29.42GB used so which is it? [06:00] tbruff13, you might try #winehq though it won't hurt to ask unless you get shamed for OT. [06:00] magn3ts: I would have been stuck on that one [06:00] is there a way to force aptitude to re-read a server? I keep running aptitude update, but even if I change the value in the .list file it just ignores the server. [06:00] I tried wine hq i got nothing [06:00] the whole cause of this was the impossibility of finding a decent transcoding DLNA server that will work in ubuntu [06:00] so I'm going to have to write one myself now [06:01] The wow loads fine and starts downloading the patch but when i try to run wow the screen goes black and then my screen resoultion is jacked up until i re log in [06:03] magn3ts: I see 12 DLNA servers for linux here did you try any of them? http://www.rbgrn.net/content/21-how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-windows-mac-os-x-or-linux [06:03] sacarlson, tried all of the linux ones that support transcoding [06:03] OH crap the bot got me for yelling [06:03] sacarlson, I may have stumbled upon a setup that works with mediatomb though [06:03] ill give a link to a screen shot in one sec i may have to log out and log back in [06:03] Question: How to allow for a user to be sent straight to shell after connecting to a server? [06:03] Crash1hd: Both. df shows used space inside the partition, GParted most likely just how much space that partition is taking from the disk. [06:04] Okay I think something is wrong with CD rom drive and I dont know what b/c it wont let me burn an ISO image to a DVD [06:04] Through telnet to be exact [06:04] nonix4, ok but it says that there is over 30Gb taken? with nothing on the drive === Dwade09_ is now known as Dwade09 [06:05] ok i got the screenshot im will send you a link so that someone can try to help me [06:05] Crash1hd: what does df -h show as partition size? [06:05] Anyyybody? [06:05] elricsfate: you mean with ssh [06:05] elricsfate: or on login? [06:06] yes hello [06:06] nonix4, this is what df shows http://www.pastie.org/1410387 [06:06] histo: no. I mean with telnet. My objective is to allow a user to connect to telnet and be sent straight to shell [06:06] histo: the shell will actually be a chroot jail that allows nethack and other rogue likes to be played [06:06] Crash1hd: how are you using 1.8TB [06:07] histo, what do you mean? [06:07] histo, its going to be storage only for videos [06:07] go to this link to help me with my issue please maybe this screen shot will allow you to help me please all i have is ubuntu and i just got wow for christmas http://min.us/mvnH8ya [06:07] Crash1hd: it's full [06:07] histo, no its empty [06:07] histo: Any clue how this might be possible? [06:08] histo, but its currently says its using 30gb [06:08] great, now aptitude is telling me launchpad's api is down [06:08] elricsfate: nope I don't use telnet I use ssh [06:08] Crash1hd: 30Gb could easily be filesystem overhead, or just root reserved 1% or 2%? [06:08] Crash1hd: sry nvm I thought I say it was using 100% [06:08] hello anyone please help [06:08] tbruff13: what's the problem? [06:09] how the hell do i get multitouch in 10.10?!? [06:09] nonix4, I would agree but I have set tune2fs -m 0 -r 0 and yet nothing changed [06:09] histo: Roger. I also use ssh. The ssh is used for what I actually need to be secure though. Administration and the such. I want the telnet server to be used for joe blow [06:09] histo please open a diolog [06:09] nonix4, well GParted says 30Gb is used df says only 196Mb used [06:09] so i can chat with you on my own this is confusing and no one will help me [06:09] tbruff13: yeah it's a screen shot [06:09] Crash1hd: there is only 196Mb used [06:10] Crash1hd: never mind what gparted says [06:10] gobbe, ok so why does GParted say that 30GB is used? [06:10] elricsfate: I was saying I have no experience with telnet [06:10] Crash1hd: check df -k as well to see dif between avail + used and size? [06:10] tbruff13: what kind of video card do you have? [06:10] gobbe, or sorry 29.42GB [06:10] Problem burning image file of 4.4 [06:10] yeah but it is to dim and you cant see it on the screenshot but wow messed up the resoultion and made the computer slow [06:10] Crash1hd: can you get screenshot? [06:10] tbruff13: and what is your command line to start wow? [06:10] my video card is nvidia [06:11] Gb size [06:11] tbruff13: opena terminal and killall wine [06:11] gobbe, yes 1 min [06:11] tbruff13: did you install the nvidia drivers? [06:11] i dont i click on a link and the patch installer starts and then i click play and it freezes up [06:11] tbruff13: system > admin > additional drivers [06:11] histo: I understand that. I was simply explaining my logic for not using ssh. Normally logic points to ssh. [06:11] -thud- [06:11] elricsfate: no no i understand [06:11] I think histo is on the right track for tbruff13 [06:12] What version of syslog does Ubuntu 10.04.1 install default?

[06:21] Crash1hd: interesting, for some reason gparted calculates it totally wrong. Anyway you are using only less than 200 megabytes which is ok [06:21] gobbe : no, i installed desktop 10.04 then upgraded to 10.10 [06:21] gobbe, anyway to fix GParted? [06:21] Slanderous: I believe that you could report that to documentationteam [06:21] Crash1hd: Guess that "Used" is showing how much the fs can be shrinked for creating another partition [06:22] (while keeping contents intact) [06:23] gobbe : ok, thanks for the help^^ [06:24] Slanderous: just noticed that even my machine has it, i saw it first time few weeks ago after installing unity-package [06:25] Slanderous: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+filebug , I think [06:25] Crash1hd: Often partitioning tools with resize capability show "Used" when they mean "Smallest size the partition can be resized to" [06:25] I am planning a rsyslog deployment for my department using Ubuntu 10.04.1 - I cannot seem to find which version of syslog Ubuntu installs by default in the documentation, syslog-ng, sysklogd, old syslogd, or rsyslog?

[06:31] gartral: I believe you have to do something with utouch [06:31] cowslammer: I'd take a look at hdparm, but I don't know specifically what you would need to do.

[06:33] So I have had aptitude fail to recognize 2 PPAs, I finally get it to recognize a ppa (Although I have to use an external tool because evidently the launchpad api is broken or aptitude thinks it is) And anyways I get one to show up in Synaptic. And only 2 of the 4 packages listed in the package list for the distro version, show up [06:34] gartral: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch [06:34] nevermind, view by origin is just retarded.

[07:04] cowslammer, rs0832, sacarlson ---well my laptop has 8 friggin gigs of ram, and i have the pae installed in the kernel so im using just about all of it, and still it was sluggish and slow to the point that i had to get rid of it, also it acted like i was on dial up with the interent speed.

[07:33] i'm having problems with sound. it works for some applications but not with the browser. i looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems which advises me to create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf but i don't understand the directions [07:33] rs0832, ok ill install it n see what happens [07:33] somebody who can help, how do I get the upgrade to continue after downloading the 2 of 2 files during an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. My other machine has done that but this one not... === dystan is now known as Can_SomeOne_Help [07:34] glitchd, good luck === treetopx is now known as treetop [07:34] spencer__, yes i do what i need to do is access my ubuntu router on my local network from a single computer [07:35] ggreene sorry I can't help you, I'm usually just general toubleshooting and pointing out the obvious :) [07:35] rs0832, this wont disable my current working graphics and leave me with a black screen, will it? [07:36] zs1otb: do you know the names of the 2 packages? I guess you can try dpkg to install them manualy, with that you might also see why they don't install. [07:36] spencer__, i understand i believe it can be done. at my job we run linux systems and everyone can be operated remotely without having to approve i just need to figure out how they did it [07:37] glitchd, nope the debuggin symbols just give more understandable error messages and the update shouldnt do anything :) [07:37] sacarlson - I have tried manualy but it stops with a /tmp not mounted with noexec [07:37] zs1otb: but upgrades normaly go smothly [07:37] rs0832, ok, ill give it a try [07:37] glitchd, if you want to be sure you can ask in the channel for someone elses opinion though :) === jmad980 is now known as Guest80000 [07:37] I know the other machines went well but this one seems to stop after downloading the first 2 files [07:38] zs1otb: what command did you do to get that error?

I guess mine was not the default before I changed it.. doh! I remember it having --description and then a path to somewhere.. I saved it in a text file but once I got gksu-polkit working I deleted my record of the default.. ugh..

[08:05] moving on... [08:06] that last two times i ran ubuntu I lost that thing you click on on the right hand side to shut down the puter. instead it either repeats the day and date or repeats my username [08:06] to shut down i have to do a shutdown now in the terminal window [08:06] annoying [08:07] anyone know about this bug? [08:07] brophat have you tried right clicking on the panel, add to panel? [08:07] Nexxus: different driver for the same cam? cool I always tape over my light so my girls don't know I'm filming, now you don't have to [08:08] ok but now the turnoff icon is to the left and my username is still where the turnoff icon should be [08:08] scarlson: guess so :P thanks for the help [08:08] Hi :) I Have a headless Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS and when I login, I see "20 packages can be updated. 7 updates are security updates.". Since this is a production server, I don't want to install anything other then security updates. How can I manually review all 7 updates and then install just them? [08:09] shai__: probably best to ask in #ubuntu-server for server items [08:09] Agreed. [08:09] i can restart I guess and see if it reboots corrected [08:09] brophat wait [08:10] ok [08:10] brophat right click on the shutdown icon and hit "move" and slide it to the right or wherever you want it [08:10] does anyone know if ubuntu 10.10 supports multi touch monitors out of box [08:10] it does not move to the righjt cause the is other stuff to its right [08:11] brophat then move that stuff. You may need to uncheck "lock" under right click === al3x is now known as Guest26572 [08:11] how do i see hidden icons in file-roller? [08:12] i solved my sound problem by reloading pulseaudio & rebooting [08:14] exxtreme: not sure I understand, icons that are in a compressed file? maybe try extract them and then view them? [08:15] cowslammer congratulations. now go slam some more cows? wait, that actually sounds a bit cruel [08:16] : my mistake..just realized i'm using thunar. i found the hidden file setting in view menu.

I've had a few notifications disappear on me, they come back after you reboot I think [08:26] rwrite: do you have a minute? [08:27] spencer__, i'll just reboot (later) [08:27] cowslammer alright [08:27] spencer__: cowslammer: ya could be a space thing? [08:27] sacarlson, plenty of room [08:28] definity, can you manually launch the graphical login manager?

But when I tryed to reinstall it said ti was already running [08:30] definity, so it puts you back in terminal when you try to start gdm? Have a look at /var/log/Xorg* log files [08:30] definity, maybe you see some errors in the log [08:31] dc5ala: I just stay in terminal [08:31] I would like to boot iso's from grub2 but I get grub error "you must load kernel first" when I use this linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/vbox/lubuntu-10.10.iso, has anyone ever booted iso's with ubuntu10.10 or other?

[08:34] soreau its detecting networks, but it keeps telling the network password is wrong when I know for a fact its correct [08:34] yes it is detecting my network [08:35] sacarlson, more weirdness - i can't get a con terminal - it's just a blank screen [08:35] tank8465_, are you using wpa/wpa2 ?

[08:47] and KDE [08:48] meero: did you not understand the answer above? [08:48] sacarlson : please copy it here once more, ive lost it [08:48] sacarlson: pls [08:48] meero: modify your dhcp3 server settings to the dns you want to use, or go static and set your own on that single system [08:49] whats a good av package? [08:49] meero: do you have control of the dhcp server? [08:49] sacarlson: im using dns server on the same machine where /etc/resolv.conf is beeing rewrited [08:49] pinPoint, if you mean antivirus, linux doesnt need one [08:50] sacarlson: yes i have control of dhcp [08:50] meero: then edit the file at /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [08:50] rs0832: i need it to scan in another infected win computer [08:50] pinPoint, clamav [08:50] meero: do you have sudo on that unit, are you able to edit that file? [08:50] pinPoint, fyi, a few vendors now release an .iso of their av product\ [08:50] pinPoint, free too. [08:51] a931bw: here are some of the other options out there: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/modules.html [08:51] pinPoint, I would use a bootable av [08:51] pinPoint, i am with nit-wit on that [08:52] a931bw: PAM is related to that system that actually *asks* for your password... this is how you get Single Sign On and such working on linux terminals... notice that there is a 'voice authentication' PAM module :) [08:52] what is the command to instal gnome from terminal or KDE? [08:52] i dont really know how to add PAM [08:52] at ogin [08:52] sacarlson: yes i`m root, just a sec i wil send u the dhcpclient3.conf [08:52] pinPoint, here is a list of a couple. http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/ [08:52] meero: then add the line in that file option domain-name-servers ipyouwantasservershere; [08:53] root___: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for GNOME. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE. [08:53] alright, thanks everyone [08:53] hey i am trying to get wow to work under wine [08:53] thanks [08:53] it works but the sound skips [08:53] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548166/ [08:53] sacarlson: and with this configuration it is still rewriting it [08:54] pinPoint, cool [08:54] sacarlson: normally there is no problem, but it create dns resolving loop between dns server and router :-( [08:54] meero: it will rewrite it but are those the address you want them to be? [08:55] meero: also that seems incomplete, that can't be the whole config file [08:55] sacarlson: yes [08:55] still i am having problem for dongel(USB) modem [08:55] meero: and what dns numbers are you getting then? [08:55] meero: are you sure you only have one dhcp server running? [08:57] still i am having problem for dongel(USB) modem [08:57] meero: try shut down your dhcp server on that system and see if you don't still get an address and dns aquired [08:57] sacarlson: no there is router with dhcp, there is: lan1, lan2, etc, ----> router(dhcp + forwarded dns) <----- server(dns for LAN, + forwarded outside dns) [08:58] sacarlson: only router is outside with outside connection [08:58] meero: well do you have control of all of them? might be easier just to go static and set your own dns address [08:59] hello! [08:59] anyway to add pam modules to logon [08:59] ? [08:59] meero: multi lan multi access to internet? [08:59] Does Dell hate Ubuntu? [09:00] Srirangan: no ? [09:00] sacarlson: this is the whole config http://paste.ubuntu.com/548169/ [09:00] folivora: Dell Studio 14 overheats on Ubuntu [09:00] for me [09:00] i have folders foo1 through foo18. in each folder I have file1 file2 etc. i want to rename all the files xfile1 xfile2 etc in each directory. i want x to be the number of the folder foox. how can i do this from command line in one neat command? [09:00] sacarlson: no just router has connection to internet, lan1, lan2, etc, server(dns) is connecting to router first [09:00] Srirangan: We have over 500 ubuntu-users in our company. Everyone are using Dell+Ubuntu =) [09:00] meero: that's the client config, you need to modify the server [09:01] folivora: I guess I get the defective models :-( [09:01] meero: but from what I see above it may have added complexities I don't fully understand [09:02] meero: ok so your ubuntu is a gateway to the internet on lan1 and all other users go through you from lan2 [09:03] meero: am I correct? [09:03] sacarlson: idea is simple ... to have dns on internal lan, using one of computer inside (dns server) , and every other dns goes to providers dns server. in my configuration only router is directly connected to internet and one of computer - server is providing dns sevices for all LAN [09:04] meero: so you wan't to setup forwarding-dns on our server ? [09:04] *your [09:04] folivora: for non-LAN dns yes:-) [09:05] meero: well you showed me the wrong file then, I needed to see this file: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [09:05] anyone here know anything about zeroradiant on ubuntu? [09:05] meero: so when your client in lan queries dns, it gueris lan-dns server and lan-dns-server queries your isp's dns-server ? [09:06] anyone? [09:06] i have folders foo1 through foo18. in each folder I have file1 file2 etc. i want to rename all the files xfile1 xfile2 etc in each directory. i want x to be the number of the folder foox. how can i do this from command line in one neat command? [09:06] meero: if that file isn't there then you must not be running the server on that system [09:06] meero: I would use powerdns as a DNS recursor ;) [09:06] hello guys [09:06] folivora: yes exactly, fot those dns names that doesnt belong to lan, it forwards it to providers dns [09:06] i need help plz [09:07] Does macchanger really change your MAC address or does it simply fake it for a while? [09:07] how can i use USB-RS232 converter on ubuntu ? === ghost is now known as Guest91201 [09:07] sacarlson: there is no /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf... only client [09:08] meero: that is really simple... pdnsd is really easy to configure ... [09:08] Rypervenche, for a while [09:08] it uses hosts-file for lan... and so on... [09:08] hi there [09:08] user: plug it in? [09:08] and then what ? [09:08] user: then see dmesg [09:09] ok wait [09:09] Eh: Is it just while I'm in a terminal or is there a certain time period? [09:09] user: there you should see information about ur device... [09:09] meero: then I have no idea how you are hoping to run this, I would install on the gateway bind9 and dhcp3-server and setup each as needed [09:09] user: didn't you get a small disk with it? [09:09] read that and use the information in dmesg like folivora said [09:09] no [09:09] would any responsible adult here tell me, if ubuntu xorg parsed /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d for configuration however it doesn't exist by default? [09:09] i dont [09:09] while you're using Ubuntu [09:09] **parses [09:09] !danger [09:10] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:10] oh i see something [09:10] folivora: dnsmasq is working just fine, the problem is in rewriting the /etc/resolv.conf by dhcpclient [09:10] sacarlson: bind9 is good, but for home use pdnsd is also goood... altho it isn't so good and flexible as bind9 [09:10] usb serial converter detedted [09:10] nettezzaumana: i dont' think the conf is like that [09:10] but hwo can i use it ? [09:10] how can i use it ? [09:10] meero: ahh kk... What it is doing wrong ? [09:11] nettezzaumana: yes it does parse a file but I think the file name is /etc/X11/xorg.conf and is defaulted if not present. only used for propriatary setup [09:11] rm -rf [09:11] dropped. did i miss an answer to my question by chance? [09:11] folivora: it is setting the dns server to router, and the router is asking dns queries back to server, this creates the loop, which im trying to avoid [09:11] disconnected [09:11] hi what is the best software to deal with usb converter ? [09:11] rs-232 [09:12] erm, pastebin your dhcp-conf [09:12] meero: if that's your only problem and it's only on that system whould a static ip work in this case? then dhcp is not used at all just a fixed ip, dns, and gateway are always the same [09:12] meero: I assume that you know that dnsmasq has built-in dhcp-server [09:13] user: paste the output of dmesg | tail [09:13] after plugging it in [09:14] meero: then you just setup the /etc/resolv.conf the way you want it and the rest is : http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-setup-static-ip-address-in.html [09:15] [ 2027.976101] usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 [09:15] [ 2028.423121] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [09:15] [ 2028.423142] USB Serial support registered for generic [09:15] [ 2028.423193] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [09:15] [ 2028.423196] usbserial: USB Serial Driver core [09:15] user: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:17] meero: I use bind9 as my dns server as I have different inside lan address compared to what on lan that need to be fed the my other users, I setup dhcp3-server to give my users my bind9 server address [09:17] folivora: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548169/ [09:17] meero: no the only thing that overwrites the resolv.conf is dhclient, when in static it will not get overwriten [09:18] so guys ? [09:18] sacarlson: it is static believe me, set by routers [09:19] sacarlson: router:-) [09:19] meero: routers don't set static, your system does, your routers only feed you the same thing each time you dhclient asks for them [09:20] omg why bother creating a chat channel nobody can talk on i just tried to talk on the trac channel and it wont let me [09:20] and yes i am registered [09:20] meero: the static settings in ubuntu overrides what the routers would have feed you [09:21] sacarlson: youre right , but in /etc/network interfaces is only "auto eth0 ; iface eth0 inet dhcp" [09:21] sacarlson: no information about dns...

[09:30] i have a question that doesnt seem to be answered on the forums or else where [09:30] sacarlson: xrandr --admode `cvt 1920 1080 60 | perl -ne 'print if s/^Modeline\s+//' [09:30] you can get into x on that machine? [09:31] basically i downloaded a perl script from cpan, but i have no idea how to use it [09:31] sacarlson: xrandr --addmode VGA-1 $that_alias ### ^^ there sude be --newmode, alias is always 0x12e [09:31] nettezzaumana: no I added the string and I get some stuf, but I needed sudo user to get what you need [09:31] sacarlson: xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode $alias [09:31] works [09:32] Hello. Does Ubuntu 10.04 LTS not have a server version of the kernel image? I have install linux-image-server but no kernel files are in /boot [09:34] nettezzaumana: yes seem to work fine [09:34] sacarlson: sorry, what do you mean now? [09:34] nettezzaumana: that those commands do function [09:35] what do I put in /etc/network/interfaces to make it not attempt to autoconfigure interface X at all? [09:35] hey i have a .mov file that i want to convert to ogg theora. i tried running ffmpeg2theora on the file and the video came out fine but the audio came out at double speed. what do you guys recommend? [09:35] sacarlson: of that xrandr way as i described it above works [09:35] **oc course [09:35] is it "iface wlan0 manual" for wlan0? [09:35] hell .. so many typos [09:35] so, anyone have a solution for me [09:35] or any kind of help [09:35] sacarlson: would you definitelly show me that strings grepped for string xorg.conf [09:36] R1ck: Do you / did you have a separate /boot/ partition that isn't mounted? [09:36] nettezzaumana: I can paistbin my xorg.conf and you can look at it yourself [09:36] ekat90: sorry, i got disconnected. i suggest the '#winehq' channel here in irc [09:36] sacarlson: no please .. show me :: strings /usr/bin/Xorg | grep xorg.conf [09:37] this is what i need .. i'm not looking for anyone's xorg [09:37] jahrra: I've already tried the channel is dead [09:37] nettezzaumana: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548181/ [09:38] sacarlson: well, thanks but i'd like to see what i've requested above [09:38] sacarlson: is it so hard to do that? [09:38] nettezzaumana: I'll send you the bin file so you can do the rest [09:38] okay [09:40] Jordan_U: I do have a seperate /boot, but it is mounted [09:41] lahwran: yes, interface dev manual is correct [09:41] R1ck: Then it may be that it wasn't mounted when you upgraded the kernel. Try unmounting it temporarily, if after unmounting /boot/ is not empty then at some point /boot/ wasn't properly mounted during an upgrade. [09:42] it was mounted the whole time :) [09:42] hey everyone [09:43] nettezzaumana: I setup transfer of 1.5meg file but your not picking it up [09:43] R1ck: If you unmount /boot/, is the /boot/ directory empty? [09:44] I don't want to unmount /boot on a running production server 200km away from here [09:44] sacarlson: forgot that [09:44] Has anyone here tried installing the Gaia 10 theme? I downloaded the .zip and extracted the folder into my .themes directory. When I go into System>Preferences>Appearance it doesn't show up. I also tried clicking on customize and looking there, but it wasn't there either. Any ideas? [09:44] sacarlson: someone else will show me [09:44] sacarlson: thanls [09:44] nettezzaumana: very good, I will stop transfer [09:46] so has anyone mapped for a quake based game in here [09:47] Is there anyway to trick the Terminal that its running on 64 bit instead of 32 bit? [09:49] Tito0096: trick in what way? the binary terminal program? I have ran 32bit programs on 64bit with just added libs [09:50] I need something to compile on my 32bit system [09:50] but it requires 64 bit [09:50] Cyanogen Mod rom for an android device [09:50] Tito0096: oh I think you can set the compiler to 64bit yes [09:50] how! [09:51] Tito0096: don't know never did it, just know it can be done [09:51] awww [09:51] lol [09:52] sacarlson: was so bloody hard to do this: http://pastebin.ca/raw/2031291 [09:52] Tito0096: I think this might be it http://en.kioskea.net/faq/1137-compiling-testing-in-32-bit-on-ubuntu-x86-64 [09:53] nettezzaumana: ya but you see xorg.conf.d search path, only root can use absolute [09:53] But I need to run something that requires 64 bit [09:53] on my 32 bit system [09:54] Tito0096: 64-bit doesn't run on 32-bit [09:54] I know [09:54] Tito0096: so recompile the code into 32bit and run that [09:55] My issue: I formatted my NTFS drive into EXT4 and re-created its mount point "/media/max250". Now I can't write on the drive. It's not supposed to be this way, is it ? === mohammad is now known as Guest52232 [09:55] Tito0096: I'm not sure if that's too easy maybe they have used lib functions that don't exist in 32bit === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [09:56] rautamiekka: Yes. The root directory of an ext4 filesystem is only writable by the superuser by default. sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /media/max250/ while it's mounted. [09:56] Tito0096: where is the source you are trying to run or compile? [09:56] rautamiekka: if you have existing directories on there, you possibly want chown -R to change the ownership of them, too. [09:57] rww: Right now the only content is the "lost+found". [09:57] http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Vision [09:57] To compile gingerbread android I need 64 bit [09:57] rautamiekka: then just do it without -R [09:58] hey guys, if i have installed some perl scripts [09:58] how do i use them? im on the latest ubuntu [09:58] rww: Thank you, that fixed it. [09:59] stephenpoo: usually like "perl /path/to/script.pl" or just "/path/to/script.pl" if the files are marked as executable [09:59] rww: Why is it by default that root may write on EXT4 ? [10:00] Thanks tsimpson! sorry for the noob question, today is my first day on ubuntu [10:00] hello all! [10:00] rautamiekka: There's probably a better reason for it than this, but it has to be owned by somebody, and you need to be root to put a filesystem on a partition, so it may as well be root. [10:01] Tito0096: it would be cool if virtualbox would simulate a 64bit machine in a 32bit machine, it does the reverse, it simulates a 32bit machine in a 64bit one. [10:01] Anyone had problem with XORG eating cpu? for example if i scroll i in chrome... it eats up instantly 20% cpu [10:01] how to transparent proxy with squid?

[10:06] woops big fail, accidentally quit [10:07] I installed squid and i dont know how to config squid for transparent proxy?just config iptables [10:07] mrcreativity: 0.5.8 [10:08] Hello, I am not able to activate Mic Boost, how can I do that ? Does that depend on the hardware ? [10:08] ubuntu_user99: Making viruses is outside of the scope of this channel. [10:08] skpl__, i still at .5.7. for some reason installing .5.8 reduced the number of tweaks [10:08] ubuntu_user99: Besides, why'd you make one ? [10:08] rww, ubuntu [10:08] to learn [10:08] ubuntu_user99: I'm aware. It's still outside of our scope. [10:08] is there a #ubuntu-virus or anything [10:09] ubuntu_user99: no [10:09] Tito0096: I'm not sure it's posible but it seems qemu can translate 64bit to 32bit as noted here http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/emulating-64-bit-os-on-32-bit-os , I'm not sure that would be any help to you [10:09] tsimpson: if its in a folder on the desktop, how do i run it? [10:09] is it perl home/user/desktop/folder makefile.pl [10:09] sacarlson: nah [10:09] * korben greets all [10:09] im using a old P4 lol [10:10] stephenpoo: open a terminal, the use "cd ~/Desktop/folder" then "perl makefile.pl", and remember that the directory and file names are case-sensitive [10:10] Tito0096: I just hoped it would help you compile it, but I agree nah === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [10:10] hey guys i need some help with setting up conky [10:10] tsimpson: thanks heaps! === Shaded is now known as NudeJihadist [10:11] where do i get sample scripts to practise configurations? === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [10:11] acerB: configurations for what? my guess bash [10:12] I installed squid and i dont know how to config squid for transparent proxy?just config iptables [10:12] where do i get sample scripts to practise configurations for conky!!? sacarlson [10:13] tsimpson: thanks a lot it runs! now to figure out how to use it haha [10:13] argh...

The status line shows "Track 1.wav". Why does '~$ mount' show no device /dev/sr0? [10:15] bullgard: because you don't mount an audio CD there are no files, it's read directly from the device (CD) [10:16] bullgard: players generally just read AudioCDs straight from the CD, rather than through a filesystem. No filesystem mounting, so nothing in mount.

[10:22] is 1010 any better than 1004 [10:22] UBuxuBU, i suggest you stay with 10.04 ;) [10:23] UBuxuBU, just a personal suggestion though.. it's really your choice [10:23] UBuxuBU: I'm happy with 10.04 just a few ppa here and there [10:23] except that my 1004 wubi wont go online wirless now [10:23] no, it's only my "hello", sacarlson :) [10:23] freakin thing [10:23] UBuxuBU, well, imo you would probably have more trouble if you switched to 10.10 [10:23] UBuxuBU: My experience 1010 is the best Ubuntu ever, heavily. [10:24] hmm [10:24] UBuxuBU, 10.10 is the best I've tried so far for my netbooks [10:24] i like 1004 but now cant get online wirless === eddie is now known as Guest42281 [10:24] makes no sence [10:24] UBuxuBU, what kind of wireless [10:24] well do they have 1010 wubi [10:25] ehtheros i think [10:25] hi [10:25] in an asus g73 laptop [10:25] UBuxuBU, well someone yesterday had a problem with wireless too (10.10) [10:25] I performed an upuntu distribution upgrade to 10.10 and now I don't hear any sound anymore. [10:25] atheros? [10:25] Where can I configure the sound? [10:26] was working great for weeks [10:26] UBuxuBU, a backport of only the wireless kernel module worked for them [10:26] hmm dunno wut that means [10:27] UBuxuBU: atheros works fine on my eeepc but it still runs old 8.04 or around there, so maybe need to go back a verison if forward fails [10:27] ill look in my device mgr [10:27] atheros works great on my asus also... [10:27] UBuxuBU: rs0832: that's a good idea [10:27] on every ubuntu....since 8.04 to 10.04 [10:27] sacarlson, thanks [10:28] atheros [10:28] My Eee900's Atheros works on 1010 Netbook, too [10:28] wonder what the heck is goin on [10:28] I dont hear anything when I play an audio file [10:28] * rs0832 will brb (reboot) [10:28] any idea why? [10:29] the mixer settings look ok [10:29] g0th its the mute thing [10:29] its deceiving [10:29] hey, how do i unlock the screen (when xscreensaver is active) via the cli? [10:29] it's the other way around? [10:29] look closely at mute [10:29] or do you have to toggle it? [10:30] UBuxuBU: it is not muted [10:30] UBuxuBU: try install the linux-backports???wireless??? package as seen in synaptic [10:30] mute then unmute it... [10:30] I tried that [10:30] with every playing device?not just the main? [10:30] also in phonon settings I dont see the same stuff than before the upgrade [10:30] it just has 2 entries [10:31] beats me :) [10:31] for the muxer I use alsamixer [10:31] mixer [10:31] try aplay with a wave file.. [10:32] if u don't know what "aplay" is..google it :) [10:32] ok sacarlson i had never heard of that before [10:32] madalin: or "man aplay" ;) [10:32] for those who don't know what aplay is: it's alsa's basic audio player. [10:32] ill look [10:33] madalin: I dont hear anything [10:33] UBuxuBU: I have some success with it in the past, did you see it in synaptic? [10:33] are you shure that alsa properly recognised your audio device? [10:33] i had to uninstall wubi but i am gonna try it again [10:33] no [10:33] madalin: I am not sure [10:33] it got all weird on me [10:33] hmm... [10:34] UBuxuBU: oh I would use a real loader with grub, but that's just me [10:34] madalin: the mixer settings look the same as before (before everything worked) [10:34] try with a usb soundcard...see if it gets recognised... [10:34] madalin: but the phonon settings look completely different [10:34] I dont have a usb soundcard [10:34] hello [10:34] anybody here ? === Lanathel is now known as Lana`thel [10:34] and how would I see if it is recognized anyway [10:34] sacarlson, YEAH all my other stuff is partitioned except this g73 [10:34] i really need help :( === Lana`thel is now known as Silvy [10:34] or...disable your soundcard in BIOS ,start ubuntu...thern reboot and reenable the soundcard === Silvy is now known as Meya [10:35] Okay. I'm curious. How do you get Chromium to work with Thunderbird when it comes to RSS? I'm stumped on that one.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:35] how do i make a local version of this this script for ubuntu? http://search.cpan.org/~kawasaki/Lingua-ZH-Romanize-Pinyin-0.23/lib/Lingua/ZH/Romanize/Cantonese.pm#DESCRIPTION [10:35] madalin: I dont have a soundcard setting in bios? [10:35] UBuxuBU: I just used gparted to resize two partition yestarday and worked perfect, but they were formated in ext4, never tried resize on ntfs [10:35] i just moved my libpthread.so.0 link and the file it was poiting to (version 2-12) out of my /lib directory , now my system is fucked up, cant start any program or even do "ls" in a terminal ==> seg fault [10:36] i can't move those libpthread back to the /lib [10:36] its easy to resize ntfs [10:36] madalin: it has something to do with the upgrade [10:36] i'd just like to say im running 10.10 and nothing is wrong with it. hehe. [10:36] as far as i know...phonon just routes it's audio via alsa (or what ever it finds) and since alsa is the problem...i don't think it has something to do with phonon [10:36] but i use buntu to resize anyway [10:36] but alsamixer is the same [10:37] I see my soundcard there [10:37] UBuxuBU: well then just resize to create a 12gb free space to install ubuntu or more if you can spare it, and give 2gb to a swap partition [10:37] but I dont see it enlisted in phonon [10:37] where can I configure my sound? [10:37] what's the default window manager in ubuntu 10.10?

[10:38] or some program to show me if it was recognized [10:38] g0th: try --> alsamixer in the bash and full up Master and PCM [10:38] UBuxuBU: if you have 6gig ram then you should have 6gig swap to enable hybernate [10:39] curiousx: already did that [10:39] excuseme my inglish is not too good [10:39] eh why do i want hibernate [10:39] alsamixer lists my soundcard [10:39] but phonon _does not_ [10:39] UBuxuBU: like the sleep mode, for quick powerup recovery [10:40] anyway mplayer, vlc, aplay all dont work either [10:40] man, it's not phonon.If aplay does not work,it's alsa.... [10:40] they play the files but I dont hear anything [10:40] see this one is a 17.3 in lapper i use like a desktop [10:40] alsa is the last stop on the way to the speakers... [10:40] i put all power settings on never hehe sacarlson [10:40] madalin: yeah but phonon doesnt see the card, that's the _only_ thing that confirms that I dont hear anything [10:41] UBuxuBU: well if you never turn off, then I guess it's mute [10:41] UBuxuBU: You don't have to. You could use suspend. If you're going for energy efficiency. Otherwise, 512-1024MB is more than enough. [10:41] madalin: so usually it is not a bad idea to start "debugging" from a place where something is wrong [10:41] g0th: can you see your sound with --> lspci | grep audio ?

So i want to offer my mom a backup system she can access read only which is an hourly backup of all of her files (using backintime with rsync). This backup is for human failure (of my mom). The second backup is done with deja dup onto an external USB drive if the Raid1 or ubuntu or anything else of th [14:02] e software/hardware crashes and i can give access to all of the files to my mom. What do you think about this backup hierarchy? [14:02] needhelp1: have you tried alternative-installation? [14:02] gobbe, yes, same error [14:03] angga_ubuntu, additionally the ubuntu fileserver runs on a raid1 [14:03] pw-toxic, sounds cool [14:03] hmm [14:03] icarus-c, so you like this solution and you dont have a better (easier?) solution?

Any suggestions how to set this glogally? [14:03] pw-toxic, what are you wanting to do [14:03] meero: No, but you can use auditd to log such changes to a log file [14:03] KayAteChef: can you be more specific? [14:04] pw-toxic so your mum access read only files that is placed in her computer? [14:04] i'd like to buy a machine which supports all this like a QNAP system, but unlikley QNAP doesnt support hourly backups with time machine or BackInTime similar functionalities [14:04] selecting windows is weird... I have to right click ont he active window and then left click on the window I wish to make active [14:04] same proble, [14:04] and restarting gnome fixes it [14:04] angga_ubuntu, no.. my mom ONLY accesses read/write of her files on the raid1 of my ubuntu file server via GBit network, but additionally she has a network location on her windows 7 system called "backup" which she has read only which contains the backInTime hourly backup folders [14:04] but only for a short period of time [14:05] angga_ubuntu, so my mom cant destroy the backup by failure [14:05] im having an issue installing ubuntu 10.10 from any medium, i have tried a cdr, usb, unetbootin and startup disk creator.

[14:05] jpds: thanks [14:06] angga_ubuntu, when your mom relies on those files to make your monkey, you would do the same [14:06] needhelp1, i give my mom access /read/Write to the files on the file server.. my mom ONLY stores her files on the fileserver.. but ADDITIONALLY she can access the backup if she overwrote an important file although she needs the older version [14:06] sresu, check the banshee website for support channels to see if they have an irc channel [14:06] !info banshee [14:06] banshee (source: banshee): Media Management and Playback application.

[14:06] yeah im doing the same actually [14:06] pw-toxic, you cant fully protect against stupidity [14:06] WXZ, GNOME builtin [14:07] anyone? [14:07] needhelp1, why not? [14:07] lol [14:07] WXZ, right click at the panel -> add to panel -> disk mounter [14:07] you're right [14:07] needhelp1, if i tell my samba that she cant delete backup files then she cant do anything wrong [14:07] if she overights the files on the fileserver then it will overwrite the files backed up anyways [14:07] needhelp1, no backInTime does not overwrite anything [14:07] needhelp1, backInTime holds version of EVERY HOUR of all files using rsync [14:07] if she edits a file, then the new version would be saved over the old version [14:07] needhelp1, that's where rdiff jumps in [14:07] needhelp1, no thats not true [14:07] ah ok [14:08] meero: sudo apt-get install auditd; sudo auditctl -w /path/to/file -p a; sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log --- should do it [14:08] pw-toxic ok i almost get it [14:08] that seems pointless, you could have wasted space [14:08] needhelp1, im using BackInTime for myself for 1-2 years now i guess [14:08] meero: If you want to go that way. [14:08] meero: And then chmod the file to see it in action. [14:08] pw-toxic so you are going to backup files in your computer to a USB and sync it with your read-only folder in your moms computer [14:08] angga_ubuntu, so you think this is a good solution? this is very important for myself because the files my mom has are very important for her work.. she is a teacher and has a LOT of files for tests etc.. [14:08] pw-toxic, not to intrude but does your mom have any disabilitys [14:09] icarus-c: it's not really what I'm looking for [14:09] hmm [14:09] needhelp1, my mom is 55 years old and she is not familiar with computer - thats all [14:09] why dont she install ubuntu along? [14:09] angga_ubuntu, oh my god.. its a REAL big thing for her to switch from windows xp to windows 7 - believe me ;) thats no option [14:09] why are we keep talking about pw-toxic 's mother.... [14:09] pw-toxic yeah if you are ok with the system then go ahead [14:09] oh lol [14:09] angga_ubuntu, anyways i needa windows xp virtual machine because most of her programs only work with windows xp [14:10] pw-toxic, there could be alternatives [14:10] gobbe: ok little better now, but may i ask, which way/key combo is fastest if i want to go end of file? [14:10] jpds : im studying the manual aditctl ...looks like what i wanted.. :-) [14:10] im having an issue installing ubuntu 10.10 from any medium, i have tried a cdr, usb, unetbootin and startup disk creator. I have checked the md5 many times its right, i keep getting stuck on the same line of code that states "Kernel_thread_helper 0x6/0x10" and it will not drop into a cli. Can anyone help me [14:10] k1_: which editor? [14:10] gobbe: nano === angga_ubuntu is now known as angga-ubuntu [14:10] meero: It's a very useful tool. [14:11] pw-toxic, how much space are you using with the fileserver and backintime [14:11] i just wonder why most ppl still use text editor in cli [14:11] k1_: k1_ ctrl+v (if i remember correctly) [14:11] angga-ubuntu: It's easy to use for some of us? [14:11] gobbe: thx, i'll try :) [14:11] k1_: or alt + / [14:11] jpds: why? the shortcut keys for GUI text editor is much more familiar [14:11] angga-ubuntu: because text editors in cli are powerfull [14:11] like ctrl end for coming to end of file [14:12] angga-ubuntu, being able to do everything from CLI is a survival skill [14:12] well samee thing it is with gui editors [14:12] gobbe ok. maybe i will consider that. [14:12] needhelp1 i couldnt agree more [14:12] angga-ubuntu, some apps are much easier in a gui though .. [14:12] yes [14:12] but more powerful to use in clu [14:12] tcli [14:13] CLI [14:13] i work most of my time in cli [14:13] angga_ubuntu, but once again for you in short the files hierarchy: 1) My mom works on the files with windows 7 mapped network drive onto my ubuntu fileserver having raid1. 2) the files on the raid1 of my ubuntu are backed up onto another internal disk of the server with backInTime holding all versions of every hour of all files.. My mom can access these backups READ ONLY over a windows 7 mapped network drive (using samba again) 3) There is [14:13] an USB drive attacked to the ubuntu server which is written regulararly by deja dup.. if the whole system fails (hardware or software failure) i can give my mom the external usb drive to attach it directly to her computer [14:13] man i keep having errors with installing 10.10 . i cant figure it out [14:13] reason is that cli is available everywhere, even with my mobile phone and ssh, gui is not [14:13] true... [14:13] needhelp1, we are talking about <50GB files.. but VERY MANY small files. The file server will have a raid1 conststing of 2*1TB wester digital green power [14:14] icarus-c: woot, I got it [14:14] k1_, spend a little time to learn vim or emacs. it worths it [14:14] pw-toxic, next time you buy externals look into seagate, they last longer [14:14] vi - worth learning. [14:14] icarus-c: you can't drag and drop from places or from the desktop, you have to go into nautilus /media/ [14:14] WXZ, huh. what you want to do anyway [14:14] im having an issue installing ubuntu 10.10 from any medium, i have tried a cdr, usb, unetbootin and startup disk creator. I have checked the md5 many times its right, i keep getting stuck on the same line of code that states "Kernel_thread_helper 0x6/0x10" and it will not drop into a cli. Can anyone help me [14:14] needhelp1, hm i have read something about that wester digital and seagte are quite similiar concerning this [14:14] needhelp1 yes it is, but WD is more famous [14:15] and more support i guess?

[14:48] Acer_, tell me about your modem/router ..what brand and how many ports etc... I need to know this [14:49] KFP, it is shown as (text/plain), but something inside your text file resembles Python code so "file" interprets it as Python File - why does it matter? === MrKeuner is now known as Mahjongg [14:51] Hm i have set up the deja dup preferences to do daily backups, but nothing happens.. how can i activate the backup? [14:51] ZykoticK9: Just wondering, formerly when I double clicked on them, Gedit opened them, now it's asking if I want to run the files. Clicking "Display" does open Gedit though. [14:51] ZykoticK9, maybe you have overridden default app to open file with text/plain MIME type. check out right click on the file -> Open with [14:51] i mean KFP [14:51] llutz_: i have installed tin and thunderbird. but how do i access usenet groups?

[14:53] KFP, alternatively you could tell Nautilus ( the file manager) not show that action prompt dialog for executable text files [14:53] ZykoticK9, icarus-c: Oh, ok, thankee. It seems I can just copy the contents of the files into new .txt files. [14:54] KFP, eh... look it is not a problem with the file nor its content [14:54] KFP, FYI linux doesn't use file extentions (.txt) for very much - if anything [14:54] KFP, it is just the file system that the file lives on doesn't support linux file permissions. and linux by default gives execute permission to all files on such file system === AnggaDj98 is now known as angga-ubuntu [14:54] KFP, if you run "file NEWFILE.txt" it will probably show you the same Python file type === angga-ubuntu is now known as AnggaDj98 [14:55] KFP, and nautilus file manager would ask you whether to run / open for text files with executable permisison === AnggaDj98 is now known as angga-ubuntu [14:55] Can anyone help me ?

(?!) [14:56] KFP, you could either tell linux not to give executable permisison to files on that partition, or set nautilus not to ask you what to do [14:56] Hello, I'm loosing internet connection (not router) after 5-10 min of use if I reset everything normal and working again for 5-10 mins [14:56] :D [14:56] KFP, that suggests it is probably a FAT* file system. [14:56] KFP, anything Windows - FAT/MSDOS is going to mark everything as executable - no workaround for that [14:56] ZykoticK9, sure there is [14:56] icarus-c, don't use fat :p [14:56] with mount options ( mask/fmask/dmask) [14:57] icarus-c, ZykoticK9: Thanks. :) [14:57] icarus-c, as soon as you copy something to FAT it becomes executable, doubt mount options would prevent that [14:57] KFP, do you want to tell nautilus not to do that prompt everytime? [14:57] ZykoticK9, no... that mask option tell linux to override file permission on the whole file system [14:58] icarus-c, ahh that would make sense. thanks. [14:59] hello I'm loosing inet after 5-10 mins of using it how can I solve it? [14:59] KFP, open gconf-editor (install if you don't have it) , navigate to /apps/nautilus/preferences/executable_text_activation [14:59] icarus-c: I think I'll just uncheck the "executable" box for these files. [15:00] KFP, won't work on a FAT filesystem! it doesn't understand linux permissions. [15:01] ZykoticK9: Oh, the files are now back on the hard disk (ext4).

[15:03] Ianrr, the first account you create will automatically have sudo access - all other accounts you need to add to the administrator group in order to have sudo access. [15:03] Ianrr, yes. and rather than giving them sudo right to all stuff, only give them sudo right on programs they need to run as root [15:03] howdy, I upgd my lucid 64 machine this morning [15:03] how do i keep my CPU speed from changing when i [un]plug the power?

[15:19] BluesKaj, its ok.. his problem is with errors during the ubuntu install:) [15:22] rs0832, the md sum matches. [15:22] rs0832, yeah and if he has backtrack on another partition ? then it could be causing probs , that OS is bad news , causes all kinds of problems for ppl [15:22] BluesKaj, nope [15:22] using backtrack on VM [15:22] not partition. [15:23] BluesKaj, hes running it on vm in win,... was just md5 summing: ) [15:23] Hello. This is my first day with Ubuntu. Sound is not working on my computer. Where should I start looking at? [15:23] well, have fun with it... ..no matter [15:23] tv time opens but close only flash ? [15:23] BluesKaj, appreciate your concern though :) [15:24] I have made sure volume is not muted [15:24] icarus-c: i don't know if ubuntu is looping, or whether the arrow key keeps stopping the boot and taking me to the mount dialog [15:24] do i need to reboot after install? [15:24] Bonaparte, open a terminal , type alsamixer , crank the ctrls up and make sure there no M s in the boxes at the bottom [15:24] g0d_sh0t, which burning software are you using? [15:24] luc_, try opening a terminal and running tvtime from there - that way you might see an error message. [15:25] freeisoburner rs0832 [15:25] g0d_sh0t, the windows one? [15:25] luc_, you really only need to reboot after kernel (or kernel module) updates [15:25] rs0832, correct [15:25] luc_, which ati tuner ? [15:25] g0d_sh0t, then maybe your burner doesn't support overburning [15:25] all in one radon [15:25] old system [15:26] all in wonder? [15:26] yes [15:26] rs0832, possibly but this is a rather new computer so would be odd that the burner would be old school. [15:26] BluesKaj, done what you said. Still no sound [15:26] g0d_sh0t, what error did you get? you said it was a hardware error? === sandy is now known as Guest44683 [15:27] anyone? booting lucid, pressing arrow gives description of all mount command parms, tells me one mount failed, and that swap can't be started because resource is busy, then goes back to purple boot screen...either looping or pressing arrow is causing it to loop [15:27] Has anyone here seen the virus Cashtitan? How to remove it? [15:27] rs0832, the burner gave me a hardware error mid burning, telling me unable to write image file. when i rebooted and booted the cd - it gave me the ubuntu logo and all and then took me to the terminal stating unable to mount etc [15:28] g0d_sh0t, do you have the dot net framework? [15:28] Curly_Q: Try ##windows [15:28] g0d_sh0t, if so, you can try burning it with cdburnerxp (www.cdburnerxp.se) [15:28] luc_, in the terminal sudo apt-get install gatos (it's the linux all in wonder driver ) [15:29] g0d_sh0t, i burned my disc fine with it [15:29] how to fsck a lvm2 partition?

I was just making conversation. [15:30] icarus-c, how can I reach the filesystems in lvm2 partition? [15:30] g0d_sh0t, you should try it.. as far as the 64 bit goes, you may find it tough to get 64 bit binaries though [15:31] Curly_Q: Well this channel is for Ubuntu Support only, not discussion. Try #ubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat. [15:31] Curly_Q, this channel is support only - conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:31] g0d_sh0t, but it;s your choice.. [15:31] Mahjongg, look into /dev/mapper [15:31] Pici No problem. I didn't know that. === Guest35661 is now known as Asses [15:32] Mahjongg, or maybe /dev// === Asses is now known as Assential === Assential is now known as Assantial === Assantial is now known as Assdriller [15:33] icarus-c, /dev/mapper only has control [15:33] Anyone has an idea why sound could not be working on my computer?

I want to have a second "bare bones" gnome session for logging in remotely, rather then my usual one with all its compiz splendor === peppermill is now known as pepper [15:38] should i try [15:38] rs0832, cdburnerxp > isoburner? not datadisc right? [15:38] g0d_sh0t, yep [15:39] Jerusalem420, allan === jose__ is now known as jose [15:39] jose__, two accounts? [15:39] jose, or u can save the compiz settings [15:39] Bonaparte, i'm affraid that audio issues are too common on Ubuntu, and difficult (at least for me) to troubleshoot - my audio has always worked OOTB. You could run "lspci | grep -i audio" in a terminal and it should list your audio devices the kernel sees - step 0 really. Best of luck. [15:39] trojan_spike: no I wanted to only have one account, makes using thuderbird simplier [15:40] here any one know about how to use anyremote? [15:40] allan 0d_sh0t [15:40] trojan_spike: how would saving the compiz setting help? or rather how would I use them? [15:42] jose, sorry didnt read the whole thing.. What u can do is install xubuntu ,, small with no Compiz etc,, then at log-in u can choose to load into that environment.. [15:42] icarus-c, got the volume name, etc. using lvdisplay but these volumes have status not available... what can I do to fsck them? [15:42] here any one know about how to use anyremote? [15:42] jose, you'd need a second account to log in with. To create a second Xorg session run the command "gdmflexiserver" then log in with the 2nd account (it won't let you log in with the same user twice, anymore) - use ctrl+alt+F7 (F8 or F9) to switch between them. [15:42] hi, i'm going to install ubuntu on a netbook with two tiny drives (4 and 8 GB), could someone suggest where to look for a primer on how to utilise them properly? [15:43] Hey everyone, is it possible to do Internet Connection Sharing like in Windows?

[15:44] has anyone successfully installed Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron M5030 with all hardware detected????? [15:45] Zack-Magee, my mistake :( [15:45] jose, exactly.. [15:46] ZykoticK9: Thanks but that sounds like it will just let me lot into multiple sessions at the same time (as different users) I wanted one user with two different gnome sessions. I wanted to be able to decide when I logged in if I wanted to use the stripped down session or my normal sessoin [15:46] trojan_spike: Thanks thats what I'll do then [15:47] jose, ya, using multiple windows managers (or DEs) would make more sense in that regard. Sorry I misunderstood your original requirement. [15:47] sorry, my router kicked me out at the least useful time so if someone answered i apologise, but i'll ask again: [15:48] i'm going to install ubuntu on a netbook with two tiny drives (4 and 8 GB), could someone suggest where to look for a primer on how to utilise them properly?

[17:14] milamber: all correctly fetched [17:14] yes router is ok [17:14] gribouille, that is a complete hard reboot not a restart of x :) [17:14] i don't understand why i can't burn a iso image lager than 4gb when i use to do it in other versions of ubuntu [17:14] seems that the lan interface on ubuntu is somehow a default [17:14] coz_, completely reboot or just restart X ?

[17:18] <_joey> sacarlson: there is patch which I know how to add. What i am not sure is how to insert the newly built module over the old one [17:18] Mahjongg, in my experience, weird errors can point to hardware issues. you might start with memtest86+, and let it run several passes [17:18] !es | securityonion [17:18] securityonion: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[17:22] gribouille, that should do it for the codecs other than w32codecs [17:22] <_joey> sacarlson: what packages are need to be installed to compile module from source? [17:22] wolfric: i am pretty sure you are missing a source line [17:22] gribouille, is this 32 or 64 bit [17:22] _joey: when you pull a git time line you get the whole working set [17:22] <_joey> build-essential, linux-headers [17:22] <_joey> what else?

[17:24] irieKEN, are u using this package [17:24] gribouille, did you already run the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras ?

Because i'm getting slow speeds (extremely slow) and i remember there was a plugin one had to apply [17:35] zakwilson: did you try manual partition and still not see these missing parts? [17:35] It's not from youtube [17:35] once again it's bought [17:36] Sick of people accusing me of it [17:36] bluezone: thers some command you can use to find the fastest.. but i dont recall what it is.. [17:36] bonjoyee: ogg is only a container? The contents in it is in the first case "FLAC" and in the 2nd case "Vorbis-Audio"? What is Voris? A compression algorthm? [17:36] Dr_Willis same :P [17:36] Bought can still be 'drm' protected. [17:36] hi all [17:36] OrangePeel: where else does an FLV video come from?

[17:36] I'm not 16 [17:37] OrangePeel: ffmpeg and mencoder can convert flv to other thangs. [17:37] zakwilson: I have noted that in a live boot install in the auto mode I note not seeing a whole drive due to it thinking that the drive is /cdrom [17:37] I know it didn't come from youtube [17:37] Gnea, well its just a flash video [17:37] it was bought [17:37] coz_: well yeah [17:37] well, there's no other way it can line up [17:37] OrangePeel, and you want this converted to which format? [17:37] Mp3 [17:37] bullgard: vorbis is a audio codec.....theora is its video counterpart...for more info see Xiph.org [17:37] sacarlson: I'm making progress investigating with regular fdisk. Evidently, partition 1 overlaps partition 5. [17:37] OrangePeel: ffmpeg and mencoder can do that. or winff - i belive. [17:37] OrangePeel, mm hold on [17:38] hello little trouble with a vpn and ubuntu...someone available for help? [17:38] i can connect ok to my vpn server if ubuntu is connected by lan but connection is impossible if ubuntu is connected by wifi [17:38] 日本語 [17:38] Dr_Willis: do you think I'm being unreasonable? [17:38] OrangePeel, well ffmpeg should do it ...see if ffmpeg is installed [17:38] boa tarde, ALL [17:38] zakwilson: oh well you don't hope to recover anything do you? can you just delete them and rewrite the whole table? [17:38] bullgard: and yes..ogg is just a container format [17:39] will do, thank you Dr_Willis & coz_ ....Thanks for being you Gnea [17:39] Gnea: never noticed. :) a quick google of 'ffmpeg convert flv mp3' will proberly give the exact command line. [17:39] how do I tell which version of flash I have installed in firefox? [17:39] bonjoyee: Thank you very much for your help. [17:39] OrangePeel, there is also soundconverter but not sure how well that works sudo apt-get install soundconverter [17:39] Dr_Willis: heh probably === bsod1 is now known as bsod1_ [17:39] bullgard: glad to help!!:) [17:39] leshaste: about:plugins [17:39] Dr_Willis, I found it, system>administration>update manager>settings>ubuntu software> download from "other">select best server :) [17:39] OrangePeel, the command for ffmpeg should be as simple as ,, cd to the location of that file and ffmpeg -i nameof.flv name.mp3 [17:39] zakwilson: you could exersize all the sectors if you just shred the whole disk [17:39] leshaste: Tools >> Addons >> plugins [17:39] bluezone: :) that may be new in 10.10. [17:40] Dr_Willis: proberly > properly [17:40] Dr_willis yup xD [17:40] thanks === mike_ is now known as Guest55248 [17:40] can someone teach me how to delete things ?

Then press the Del key. [17:41] DysteR_HelpMe: add -R [17:41] lemme try with -r [17:42] how can I do an update from command prompt? [17:42] quantumrider: sudo apt-get update [17:42] DysteR_HelpMe: you could sudo rm -r /path/to/your/dir [17:42] okay then [17:42] DysteR_HelpMe, sudo rm -rf location/of/directory [17:42] almost 1500 people here! [17:42] maybe that will solve my problem thanks [17:42] why cant I add folders from Nautilus to the System File ? [17:42] DysteR_HelpMe, which directory is this and where is it located??? [17:42] is anyone tracking the "demise" irc ? :) [17:42] yes sound converter workd coz_ am going to try the other [17:42] OrangePeel, cool [17:42] just trying to put QUAKE1 into the USR/GAMES [17:43] says I am OWner [17:43] and dont have permission or something [17:43] somewhere on Ubuntu forums it says that QUAKE1 wont run from anywhere else on the system but the games folder [17:43] DysteR_HelpMe, you probably need to use sudo for that [17:43] !sudo | DysteR_HelpMe [17:43] DysteR_HelpMe: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE).

I seem to be stuck with this gross theme for my taskbar: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=v4z4ec&s=7 [17:43] DysteR_HelpMe: you could make a link from there to the other location. QUake1 is so old.. you may be better off finding some quake1 'redone' variant and use the q1 data files. [17:44] phpjim, you mean gnome panel? [17:44] coz_: yeah.. sorry.. bad wording =) [17:44] DysteR_HelpMe: you may want to learn a luittle bit of bash basics befor messing with system directories. [17:44] I found EzQuake and was not able to install it , there are no instructions for the Linux installation but there is a linux version [17:44] phpjim, right click the panel go to properties and then the background tab [17:44] didin't work... [17:44] phpjim, make sure the "None (sue system theme) is ticked [17:45] coz_: yeah, that is set to 'none (use system theme)' [17:45] phpjim, mmm [17:45] !details | quantumrider [17:45] quantumrider: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [17:45] is it a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 ??? [17:45] my Ubuntu is not running properly and my friend who has a 10.04 and a inferior computer runs it better then mine [17:45] phpjim, go to system/preferences/appearance choose another theme to see if the panel changes along with it [17:45] DysteR_HelpMe: you need to be more clear on whats not running properly. [17:45] phpjim, go to the "Customize" button first [17:45] Dr_Willis, eh, still seems relitively slow, the ping test it did probably wasn't accurate [17:45] coz_: yeah, already tried that as well.. that's what lead me here! [17:45] having problem installing 10.10 on acer aspire 7741z [17:45] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Inter....(rev 18) also I rebooted trying to look in bios for the info on card(which is not there) and now at the prompt it told me there are 199 packages that can be updated [17:45] coz_: let me try the customize button [17:45] can boot from usb without problem although 10.10 doesn't recognize touchpad nor wireles adapter, so i use usb mouse and ethernet it indtalls 10.10 on entire drive with updates but after reboot all i get is command prompt [17:45] quantumrider: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:46] phpjim, ooo... is this theme one you installed? [17:46] coz_: not at all, completely fresh install of ubuntu 10.10.. I have 10.04 on another machine and the themeing works as you would expect it to [17:46] quantumrider: will startx get you a gui? [17:46] coz_, that command worked for ffmpeg but it asks for directory....what would the terminal code be for that ? [17:46] phpjim, this is odd then [17:46] nope [17:46] my Ubuntu 10.10 recognized my touch pad and wireless adapter from the start [17:46] the graphic card GeForce 9500m GS from an Asus G1SN laptop [17:46] getting an error no screens found [17:47] I remember that everytime i looked a video from Youtube or other place, the file was stored in the tmp folder, but now is not there, where can I find it? [17:47] sacarlson: I do hope to recover things. The machine is usable as-is, but I want to clean-install 10.10, replacing 8.10. I also want to *fix* the partition table. [17:47] OrangePeel, well... actually if you cd to the location of that .flv file ,,, ffmpeg should convert it to the same area [17:47] coz_: indeed. [17:47] everything runs very slow after a few minutes after start up , the cool effects like the DESKTOP CUBE is incredibly slow [17:47] OrangePeel, you can run man ffmpeg to be sure [17:47] cd? [17:47] OrangePeel: winff is a front end to ffmpeg [17:47] OrangePeel, cd = change diretory [17:48] OrangePeel, for example...if your .flv file is on the Desktop ,,,then open a terminal and type cd Desktop [17:48] coz_: it is indeed odd.. I just want the default ubuntu 10.10 look and feel [17:48] OrangePeel, from there you can run the ffmpeg -i command [17:48] Not sure how to change directory coz_ ..... Dr_Willis do I need winff for ffmpeg to work properly ? [17:48] can anyone help a newbie? I am trying to install 10.10 64bit as dual boot on a Dell Studio 1749 with windows 7 ultimate. [17:48] oooh I see [17:48] phpjim, mm [17:49] tim -- no need to ask to ask here, just start asking questions. [17:49] Can I serve an ISO file as a pxe boot file? [17:49] OrangePeel: winff is a front end to ffmpeg... winff needsd ffmpeg... not the other way around. [17:49] coz_: I agree completely. [17:49] OrangePeel, wherever the .flv file is you have to cd to that location [17:49] zakwilson: recover I mean recover data, I think if you just repartition there is a good chance it will work [17:49] quantumrider: take a look at /var/log/Xorg log [17:49] OrangePeel: when in doubt check the ffmpeg docs/faq for examples.. [17:49] how? [17:49] !dualboot | tim [17:49] tim: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [17:49] phpjim, ah I would run through a few things... first sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to see if anything needs to be updated [17:49] I asked a question before. and no one answered. so thought maybe better to ask a different way [17:49] OrangePeel: if you dont even know how to 'change directory' you may want to spend a few min - learning some bash basics. [17:49] sacarlson: I'm thinking that too. Now that I've determined fdisk can interact with the partition table, that's what I'm going to do. [17:49] milamber: how do I do that? [17:50] am trying this now coz_ [17:50] Yeah Dr_Willis that i need too [17:50] any links/ [17:50] anyone here uses EzQuake ??? ;( someone from the stone ages ? [17:50] quantumrider: "cd /var/log/" then do " ls -al Xorg*" one of those should end with a log extension. then do "sudo nano " [17:50] zakwilson: the shred of the disk will rewrite all the sectors to correct any posible check sum errors on each sector. this might increase the posibilty of hardware recovery [17:50] OrangePeel, well there are a bazillion links online for bash commands :) [17:51] im trying to use the alternative installer and get stuck on a blank black screen [17:51] will try now [17:51] OrangePeel, the "cd" command is one you will end up using quite often [17:51] after clicking install ubuntu [17:51] coz_: there are a few things that needed update.. I'll start with that.. [17:51] !bash | OrangePeel [17:51] OrangePeel: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:51] phpjim, cool that would be my first step [17:52] phpjim, i would...if that doesnt solve this... also try installing another theme from gnom-look.org make sure it is a GTK2.0 theme [17:52] milamber: there are 10 files matching in that directory [17:52] sacarlson: I know I can just wipe the partition table. I'm hoping to *keep* the partitions. [17:52] Didn't get it work with the ffmpeg but the sound converter workd wll [17:52] I am trying to install ver 10.10 64 bit. I booted the usb stick and instead of getting the "try it" or "install it" screen I was expecting....I got a text screen and ubuntu booted the stick up without allowing me to select language [17:53] quantumrider: the Xorg.0.log should be the one you want [17:53] Where are the flash videos stored in the system as I am watching them right now? [17:53] OrangePeel, mmm ffmpeg should have worked but if soundconverter is doing it for you then that's fine ... it uses the same command with ffmpeg I believe [17:53] Dr_Willis, I found out how to add JavaFX SDK to Ubuntu Linux you have to add this to your /etc/profile system file ->PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_BIN:/usr/local/javafx-sdk1.3/bin [17:53] export JAVA_HOME [17:53] export JAVA_BIN [17:53] export PATH [17:53] Quantum_Ion: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:53] NooBuntu: in the browser cache..i suppose.. [17:53] hola [17:54] zakwilson: I don't know how you could wipe the partition and expect to keep the partitions? you mean keep the original data? I'm not an expert in forensics [17:54] im trying to use the alternative installer and get stuck on a blank black screen after clicking install ubuntu [17:54] Thank you Dr_Willis & coz_ ...for taking the time and having patience with noobs === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ-away [17:54] milamber: yeah it opened it, what should i look for? [17:54] OrangePeel, no problem ... === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [17:55] quantumrider: look for any errors or failed to load commetns [17:55] noob bashing has lost its fun when noobs willingly refer to themselves as noobs. [17:55] comments* [17:55] LOL [17:55] bonjoyee: Do you know where can I find that cache? === dlublink is now known as david509 [17:55] Dr_Willis, my /etc/profile file with JavaFX looks like this ->>>http://pastebin.com/wD1JyYs1 [17:56] bonjoyee: I want to download videos === david509 is now known as david3r3 [17:56] thx for help [17:56] witch best distro for server??? ubuntu or cent os?? [17:56] milamber: there are many errors [17:56] Can anyone help me with a find/sed to replace {baseurl}/(.*).(png|jpe?g|gif|ico) etc to static1.example.com/\\1 ? [17:56] i cant get ubuntu to install to save my life .. ive tried everything [17:56] How can I add translation on GoldenDictionarty?? [17:57] quantumrider: your best place to start would be google the errors. more likely than not someone has come across the same thing. if that doesn't work. come back here and pastebin the log file [17:57] NooBuntu, /tmp [17:57] ok will do that thanks! [17:58] needhelp1: can it boot and run a live cd or live usb? [17:58] NooBuntu: most videos are not downloaded locally [17:58] What happened to root in Ubuntu 10+? Why does it now ask for the user password vs. the root password when performing tasks? [17:59] Vic10: Thats nothing new. [17:59] milamber, I thought they changed the location of the tmp files in the new version of flash [17:59] !root | Vic10 [17:59] Vic10: 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 [17:59] milamber, but they are here, yep, good ol tmp folder [17:59] sacarlson, ive tried live cd with no luck, usb with unetbootin and startup disk creator, didnt work.. and ive tried 10.10 32bit altern .. no luck either [17:59] Vic10: that's always been how ubuntu is setup, normaly there is no root account active [17:59] /j #bot [18:00] sacarlson, i could use 10.04 to install and update by my internet connection is so slow its really not worth it [18:00] im basically on dial up [18:00] from what I remember from past versions you always had to assign a root password on install and then when you were performing a serious task it would ask you for the root password... === sandy is now known as Guest35142 [18:00] sacarlson: There are multiple partitions on this disk. The partition table seems to be corrupted such than cfdisk and gparted can't deal with it, but the OS and fdisk still can. I want to repair the partition table. [18:00] live cd and usb give me an error with Kernel_thread_helper .. no cli drop out [18:00] Vic10: Ubuntu's install has never asked you for a root password, only for a password for your first user. [18:00] alternative boots, i can choose english and install, but it goes to a blank black screen [18:01] Vic10: ubuntu has never had a root password. what happens is the initial account you create is added to a sudo list. the user/pass is what allows you to do root type things [18:01] md5s are right [18:01] milamber: here are a few EE open /dev/fb): no such file or directory, intel(0): no kernel modesetting driver detected, Screen(s) found but none have usable configuration, and it ends with no screens found, while when I boot from usb stick it loads gui fine, also I tried the apt-get update but it didn't update anything.... [18:01] Isnt giving a regular user account root privileges basically defeating linux's whole security idea? [18:01] hi [18:01] lets try this again....can anyoen help me? I am trying to install 10.10 64bit on a notebook. when I boot the usb stick, I do not get the screen that I am supposed to get "try ubuntun" or "install". I get a text based screen and a few seconds later, ubuntu boots from the stick [18:02] zakwilson: it never hurts to try, you can do a dd of the first 512 bytes that contain the partition table and try rewrite it and see what that does [18:02] Vic10, are you asking or telling? [18:02] ox3a, [18:02] Vic10, usually you use the command sudo to give temp admin rights to another user [18:02] who here is using Ubuntu 10.10 with GeForce Graphics card ? [18:02] tim: that is normal behavior. there should be an icon on the desktop once it boots from the stick that will let you install it. [18:02] tim: when i did it yesterday it booted as a liveCD and then it asked me if I wanted to try it or install it [18:03] zakwilson: I could never figure out if you had anything to loose on the disk [18:03] quantumrider: can you pastebin the log file? [18:03] sacarlson, any ideas [18:03] i just dont think its a good idea for anyone who has access to one account and its password to have total root privileges... It sounds to me like the same this as making every account on a Windows machine an administrator [18:04] I'm on another pc.... I have no idea how to do it from that notebook? can I do it from the prompt? [18:04] sacarlson: Yes. There's a Windows install on it with data. While possible, a reinstall would be fairly annoying because I don't think there's any recovery media available. [18:04] Vic10, then use windows and install 7 antivirus applications [18:04] rs0832, yeah [18:04] milamber: and when I click on the icon, will it allow me to change the language from english to german? I would rather install in German [18:04] Does anyone recall the command used to find the closet/best server to download packages from? N.B. The gui method is not working, i'm still getting slow speed [18:04] hey how to make my ssh serv to listen to the whole subdomain i mean from ips 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 adding listenaddress in conf to 192.168.1.* not work - it says its invalid ,also ive looked man pages - didnt found anything [18:05] Vic10, this method works so well, that microsoft is using a method that is very simular [18:05] i use linux to get away from that needhelp1, your sarcasm isnt helping any thing [18:05] zakwilson: well without a partition table I guess fschk would be worthless [18:05] i want to add translation on GoldenDict [18:05] Vic10, fair enough [18:05] does some use GoldenDict [18:06] is there a way to enable the old root behavior in ubuntu? [18:06] golden dictionary [18:06] Vic10: i don't really understand your logic. if there is a root account everyone already knows the administrator user name. the way it is currently set up you elevate yourself to 'root' status when needed. it *is* possible to create a system where *no one* has administration privileges, but then you could never update/upgrade [18:06] milamber: I don't know can I post it from the command prompt from that notebook? weird thing is 10.10 boots gui fine from the usb stick [18:06] how to install zend framework on ubuntu?? [18:06] ubuntu server 10 [18:06] sacarlson: there IS a partition table. I can boot from the hard drive and mount the partitions. It is somehow corrupted such that Ubiquity, cfdisk and gparted are unable to interact with it. fdisk, on the other hand can, and is not showing any problems. [18:07] Vic10, as long as others dont know the root password, then noone would get root access [18:07] Is there a PPA I can use on 10.04 to install a 2.6.36 kernel? I need it for my 6GB/s Marvell SATA controller [18:07] milamber: maybe i can boot from it and then try to fix the install from gui? [18:07] im having issues installing, can someone give me a hand [18:07] fabiobik, i would assume it is in the repositories, apt-get install (something, try zend maybe) [18:07] quantumrider: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=312883 [18:07] sacarlson, ive tried live cd with no luck, usb with unetbootin and startup disk creator, didnt work.. and ive tried 10.10 32bit altern .. no luck either. md5's are right [18:07] is this root privilege only available to the first user account made? [18:07] needhelp1, which issues are you having? [18:08] Vic10: no, you can add others to the sudo list at a later time [18:08] live cd and usb give me all the same error, stuck on Kernel_thread_helper with no other paths to take, no cli dropout [18:08] ok but by default the first user is the only one able to do this milamber? [18:08] alter install cd just freezes on a blank black screen [18:08] Vic10: correct. [18:08] needhelp1: outch kernel crashing humm [18:08] needhelp1, hmm did any other versions work? [18:09] needhelp1: sounds like maybe you gotta pass a option to get around whatever is crashing it [18:09] zakwilson: oh ok so that can't be too bad, maybe it's just that it's a ntfs partitions that gparted don't like? seems like theres nothing wrong with it if it can boot [18:09] 10.04 rs0832 .. but my internet is so slow it would literally take me days to update [18:09] Is there a PPA I can use on 10.04 to install a 2.6.36 kernel? I need it for my 6GB/s Marvell SATA controller [18:09] milamber: I'm clueless to what it all means.. what should I do from that page? [18:09] so theoretically if another account is made on my system regardless how, that user by default wont have any root accesibility milamber? [18:09] needhelp1, well first I would make sure that the md5sums for the downloaded iso image are correct... if not then redownload...i would also suggest burning the cd at 1x if possible with your burning software... [18:09] Vic10: By default its only users who are in the 'admin' group, which your first user is. You can tweak it by modifying your sudoers file or adding people to that group. [18:09] needhelp1, you could try a kernel backport while remastering the iso [18:10] quantumrider: that links to some scripts that will allow you to create a pastebin from the command line [18:10] sacarlson: There had been two partitions that overlapped. I deleted one of them, but I'm still getting the same error messages. [18:10] gogeta, rs0832 .. my original error is very common though, if you google search Kernel_thread_helper .. it looks like its a linux kernal error in general because its everwhere on the net with all distros .. i tested two other distros with the same error message [18:10] rs0832, ouch [18:10] needhelp1, this could be just a corrupted iso that you burned or a bad burn at too fast of a speed [18:10] Vic10: correct. unless that administrator (first account created) adds them to the sudo list [18:10] needhelp1: well they give you options to get passed it [18:10] Anyone Using EzQuake ??? :D [18:10] coz_, ive tested the md5 and did the memory check thing [18:10] hey how to make my ssh serv to listen to the whole subdomain i mean from ips 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 adding listenaddress in conf to 192.168.1.* not work - it says its invalid ,also ive looked man pages - didnt found anything [18:10] gogeta, disable apci ? [18:10] Vic10: but by default they will not have *any* 'root' privileges [18:10] zakwilson: ok so it's not a total loss, some are recoverable [18:10] needhelp1, yea you could try [18:11] needhelp1: acpi=off in the grub line [18:11] rs0832, gogeta didnt work, and my battery went haywire [18:11] milamber: am I supposed to install them on my notebook from command prompt? [18:11] needhelp1, this installed completely with no errors reported? [18:11] needhelp1: ah [18:11] so total system security relies on the first users password milamber? [18:11] abcd0099: did you restart the ssh server? === Prajwal_ is now known as Prajwal [18:11] Vic10: yes [18:11] needhelp1: how abought noapm === TMKCodes__ is now known as TMKCodes [18:11] needhelp1: turns off only avdanced mangment [18:12] gogeta, i havent tried any of the other options yet in F6 .. im not sure what they do [18:12] yes /usr/sbin/sshd -d says its invalid adress (conf file listenaddress 192.168.1.*) [18:12] oh i did try expert mode [18:12] no luck [18:12] oh well. thanks anyway [18:12] needhelp1, try removing quiet and splash options [18:12] and there is no way to add a requirement of a 2nd password for root tasks milamber? [18:12] rs0832, im not sure how to do that [18:12] Does anyone recall the command used to find the closet/best server to download packages from? N.B. The gui method is not working, i'm still getting slow speed [18:12] needhelp1: thers like 3 diffrent oprions for turning diffrent parts of acpi [18:12] needhelp1, same way you disable acpi [18:12] for acpi i just chose no acpi [18:13] it was in the options on the alter installer in f6 [18:13] quantumrider: yes, if you need assistance with getting onto the web: a text based browser is lynx and a get from the internet tool is wget. both can be installed with sudo apt-get install and after installed more help can be gained with the command man [18:13] needhelp1, why dont you install 10.04 and update from the alt cd since you have it? [18:13] rs0832: it crases to he said that [18:13] sacarlson: Yes, all the data is currently accessable. My problem is that ubiquity can't interact with it. [18:13] rs0832, wait for a laugh, i will tell you my interent speed [18:13] milamber: /usr/sbin/sshd -d says: bad addr or host: 192.168.99.* (Name or service not known) [18:13] is 10.04 better then 10.10 ???

I;m at a loss [18:35] oh wait I thin i get it one sec [18:35] coz_ also, for some reason on 10.10 some windows have trouble... moving... over certain areas of a screen (for instance the top or over firefox's addres bar) do you know anything about that?

I am running Ubuntu on Macbook6,1 [18:36] it keeps going Error reading block 20611293 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error? yes [18:36] bluezone, no I dont :( sounds suspiciously like a bad install... but not being there to actually see this ... I cant think of the issue [18:36] * phpjim says a prayer for alahu's ext3 partition [18:37] and how do i start something in background? ie it wont close when i close the terminal ? [18:37] phpjim, thanks, let's hope the extfs god answers prayers. [18:37] bluezone, you already did the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ...yes? [18:37] imcake add a & after the command [18:37] imcake: you can use screen [18:37] not the second one [18:37] alahu: I hate it when that happens. One time i lost a superblock... [18:37] hiiiiii [18:38] IsmAvatar, I should've been doing backups..... [18:38] bluezone, do those two together just as written...there may be software changes that have to take place [18:38] no, using & and closing the terminal kills all childs [18:38] i am lookingg for addition to my GoldenDictionary [18:38] imcake: use & and the 'exit' command. not the close button.. [18:38] how can I do that?? [18:38] oh cool [18:38] alahu: you might be able to fetch it from your livecd. Try fsck'ing it [18:38] thanks [18:38] coz_ yeah some updates going on too hopefully that fixes it [18:38] Any ideas? [18:38] imcake: stay away from the close button :) [18:38] IsmAvatar, That's what i'm doing now [18:38] bluezone, its certainly possible :) [18:39] imcake: theres proberly some other ways around it.. but thats the easiest way [18:39] I have to break here but will be back a bit later [18:39] imcake: screen is a program. You can open a session and then detach it, logoff or whatever. And then later reattach to the same session.

I am using a geforce 8500gt from the video card it goes to a dvi to hdmi cable and then from the cable to my samsung 46"dlp tv. The overscan isnt an issue when I use the vga connector on the tv, but once i use the dvi/hdmi cable I have to adjust the overscan. But, once gdm is restarted the overscan setting gets lost and I have to go back into nvidia-config. I have also tried to use sudo nvidia-config with no luck. [19:15] any advice? [19:15] Oh cool. i cant login after reinstalling nautilus :( [19:15] it just says no drivers available [19:15] Vic10: you can type "nautilus /media" w/o quotes, and that should open up the folder... but it's not hard to find [19:15] KM0201>> Select Appearance - delay [19:16] Fezzler: strange [19:16] Fezzler: create a dummy user, and see if there's the same issue w/ that user.. that would narrow it down to a system wide problem, or a problem w/ your user configuration(although i can't imagine what would cause that) [19:17] is there an IDE for command-line-only ? [19:17] if i mount it as "/media/foldername" will it show up on the desktop as "foldername" KM0201 /Dr_Willis? [19:17] Vic10: Try it and see? - the answer is YES..

[19:19] imacake: "emacs" [19:19] imacake: emacs is going to be your best bet. be prepared for a learning curve [19:19] KM - yea [19:19] almost like a systme resource issue [19:19] I use mediaplayer to play multimedia.In teory it'sufficient.I look for them.Thank you [19:19] Fezzler: it could be.. do you have system monitor running in your panel? [19:19] * imacake is brb [19:19] and if so, ar you at 100%? [19:20] Is it possible to completely remove the gnome panel from one of the workspaces? I'd like to have a clean desktop to work with on the second workspace, and a regular desktop with panels on the first workspace. Is that at all possible? [19:20] herghost: thanks! Googling it now. I see an alternative is Wireshark. Would you suggest that over TCPdump? [19:20] nirazio: not really a work space type setting. [19:20] airman00: both are full featured and reasonably complex. Wireshark is has a gui though, which you may prefer [19:20] KM0201 i have not installated totem-plugins-extra.now i do it... [19:20] nirazio: so id say no. never seen that done. [19:21] I think wireshark may actually use tcpdump as its engine, but I may be wrong. [19:21] ziozizo: not saying that will solve your problem, you just said it was a plugin issue, and i saw that package. [19:21] KM no [19:21] much obliged [19:21] nirazio: KDE has a feature similer to that however. :) [19:21] I can use command line TOP in another session [19:21] Dr_Willis: Are you sure KDE has that feature? [19:22] Fezzler: ok, well, however you want to do it... if you think something is hogging your resources and causing this.. then you need to see what it is./ [19:22] is it common to get weird ass requests from the wild?

My HD audio (optical) isn't working, and neither are the manufacturer's drivers [19:39] I have a question on an Ubuntu install. I used Wubi to install, restarted and booted up UBuntu. Everything leads nively, the dots come and go and it comes to the home screen. The wifi, bluetooth and power indicator show up on the top right (nothing on the left) and a screen comes in saying "Checking INstallation" and when it does that, an error comes up saing "cannot find root disk...fix from partition menu". How do i fix t [19:40] Bonaparte: actually I am developing my application having 3-4 part, and try to monitor each of them [19:40] Bonaparte: can you suggest me any tool which I can use, to monitor all outgoing http request [19:41] ihaveaproblem: I would suggest reinstalling using a boot disk, I've had some troubles with the Wubi installer, it just doesn't seem to work right [19:41] how do i add a channel [19:41] where is the mysql config file on ubuntu? my.cnf does not exist on my machine [19:41] @Neodymium: netstat [19:41] sextiger: these questions are best asked on #freenode [19:41] ok [19:42] sextiger if you /join a channel which does not exist it will be created [19:42] how do I have sed search and replace, but ignore the first match? [19:42] ihaveaproblem: Wubi is unstable in the fact that configures Ubuntu to essentially run inside windows, somewhat like a virtual machine. If something goes wrong with ubuntu and your partition is corrupted, you may not be able to use windows. I suggest just installing to a partition [19:43] sextiger: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml [19:43] Hey, could anyone help me with drivers for a Zotac IONX-A-U? My HD audio (optical) isn't working, and neither are the manufacturer's drivers [19:43] use virtual box [19:43] virtual box is pretty easy to use and you can do more than just windows with it [19:44] I second stealthc [19:44] stealthc: The main problems with virtual box, however, is it tends to be a little slow, as it is still running one OS inside another. If the user wishes to play with the OS, I would suggest using either a live CD or just installing the OS to a partition [19:44] hmmm on a high end computer nowadays is that really a bad thing? [19:44] I have a dual core laptop with 4 gb's of ram [19:45] that seems to be adequate for a vbox setup [19:45] ihaveaproblem: welcome to wubi! :) [19:45] @Nyghtbyte: Wouldn't you say that there's much less work involved in using VirtualBox to try out an OS rather than having to stop your system to try it out with a liveCD? [19:45] runs a little slow on my dual core netbook with 2gb's [19:45] ihaveaproblem: can you still get to windows? [19:45] the space in ram seems a little too tight [19:45] does anyone know of a channel i can go to for help with bash script? [19:45] I wouldn't say less work [19:45] tcopeland, #bash ? [19:45] is there a dedicated channel for Ubuntu server? [19:45] but at least you aren't fucking with your hard drive [19:45] makosblade: That depends on whether or not the person already has a Live CD. That and virtualbox isn't exactly user firendly at times [19:46] !server | iRabbit [19:46] iRabbit: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [19:46] I like how it uses files as virtual drives [19:46] brontoeee: i was not aware that was a channel.... [19:46] if you are using linux [19:46] thanks [19:46] then you aren't worried about user friendly entirely all the time [19:46] tcopeland, it used to be a good one as well [19:46] brontoeee: thank you [19:46] @Nyghtbyte: I suppose. I found it pretty foolproof in my last few uses. I just like that you can be running both of your OSes at the same time so you can keep multitasking [19:46] it's been getting friendlier, but still has a ways to go in my books [19:47] stealthc, who, what? [19:47] stealthc: vbox is fine. . but if you're going to regularly use the OS, i'd rather have a traditional dual boot setup... I keep Xp in Vbox for one or two things I need, and probably boot it 2-4x a month [19:47] hmmm sometimes it's a pain to reboot just to run something in windows [19:47] that's why I like vbox... though it's a pain... [19:48] I have a dlink router that I can hookup a usb hard drive to [19:48] stealthc: thats why i use windows in vbox... but if i regularly used Windows for something, i wouldn't use vbox, i'd dual boot. [19:48] but the drivers only work under windows [19:48] cannot use smbclient because my login password doesn't work [19:48] stealthc: a usb hard drive should work under either OS w/o issue. [19:48] anybody here uses Finch - the text based console IM client? [19:48] it must be encoded somehow by their software [19:48] usb hard drive connected directly to the router? [19:48] well, for heavy duty apps you still need a real boot, like video editing for example, other than that, i run winxp on top of osx and all my transcoder scripts are running with decent speeds, but not really superfast [19:49] I'm using portshare or whatever that is, on a di825 [19:49] stealthc: thats just a matter of setting up a network device under ubuntu. === khamer_ is now known as khamer [19:49] Alien ain't creating any packages, what do?

[19:50] otak: Yeah exactly. I am "cross" an oprion in preferences? [19:50] router is a di 825, hard drive is external 2 tb usb, connect to router. This relates to the shareport utility [19:50] otak: Sorry for the gibberish. I mean how do I make a "cross" in preferences [19:50] stealthc: you keep repeating yourself w/o answering the question.. is the hard drive, connected to the router. [19:51] hi I just copied entire partition from one drive to a new one using dd, it is booting fine I'm in it now however I am very worried cause in GParted this partition I am booted in right now says as unallocated... is this a big risk? [19:51] yes connect to the router [19:51] the router has a usb port on it === cs278|| is now known as cs278^kinslayer [19:51] I can connect to router using smbclient [19:51] !alien | s8 [19:51] s8: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [19:51] stealthc: then it should just be a matter of going to "Places" and "Network places".. and going through the icons there till you find your device... [19:51] but the admin password I have set does not work when it asks me for a password to admin account [19:51] guntbert: How did that help me? [19:52] I can try but I will have to disconnect, I am stealing my neighbors wifi [19:52] s8: it should tell you: don't use alien, use athe apt-system [19:52] stealthc: dunno, but i'm sure it can be done, im not making much sense out of what you're sayin g. [19:52] guntbert: Don [19:52] charas: errr.. press enter ? [19:53] otak: Enter doesn't work [19:53] otak: Geez!! space worked.

[22:12] StartupManager doesnt work , it install but has half the options [22:12] PerSeL: Why do you think you need a kernel upgrade? [22:12] There are other Xsplash screen managers I have installed , and none of them work [22:12] what's this ?!!!!!!!!!! [22:13] DysteR_HelpMe: you removed plymouth and installed xsplash? [22:13] soreau: maybe I don't but I'm pretty sure i have 32 when there is 36 and I just wanna try to play with linux anyway I'm gonna format my comp [22:13] lol [22:13] !latest | PerSeL [22:13] PerSeL: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [22:14] ubottu: the 36 is stable I've checked [22:14] How can i install something from concrete repository? [22:14] Alagos: add the repsitory, use pacakge manager tools. [22:14] I cannot install Xsplash [22:14] everytime I try to run it from the terminal I get an error [22:14] PerSeL: Not everyone agrees on what is "stable" [22:14] Invalid Perimeters [22:14] PerSeL: In ubuntu, you can typically upgrade the kernel easily with the kernel ppa. [22:14] Hi, I'm trying to use a usb photo frame, but it doesn't work. http://pastebin.com/3jtNCVbf Have tried on ubuntu karmic and debian testing. have searched on the product ID, but found nothing. lsusb says "ID 18b6:1201 Mikkon Technology Limited" [22:14] DysteR_HelpMe, don't run it as root maybe? [22:14] PerSeL: ubottu is a robot. [22:14] DysteR_HelpMe: it proberly needs some extra options. I normally just disabled xsplash when it was used in earlier releases. [22:15] was trying a Terminal Way to change Xsplash came across an little script to be run with the terminal [22:15] shcherbak: what have u made me do ?!!! [22:15] rww: lol how could I know [22:15] Dr_Willis: and what about consol way? [22:15] I just wanna know how to tune up Linux correctly , change the grub and the Xsplash seemed simple to me... [22:15] anygivenname: whats wrong? [22:15] Alagos: add the repo to the /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then use the command line apt tools tp update/upgrade/ install the stuff [22:16] soreau I cannot see the ppa here kernel.org [22:16] but after 3 days I still cannot do the right steps , I have tried from 3 different sources on Ubuntu forums [22:16] anygivenname: shortcut need to be passed to right window [22:16] is there a forum for general programming? besides bash [22:16] DysteR_HelpMe: its easy to change he grub Menu wallpaper.. as for xplash.. i imagine its basically a dead project. [22:16] chan i mean [22:16] goltoof: perhaps #programming thats a rather large topic. :) [22:16] PerSeL: The kernel ppa is ubuntu specific. They get the sources (from git kernel.org), configure and build the kernel then produce deb packages and put it in the ppa [22:17] goltoof: no but there are specifics like #c #java etc [22:17] Dr_Willis: rofl.. never would've guessed :P [22:17] shcherbak: what do u mean ? [22:17] I seem to find the correct PNG [22:17] to change in the system file , but even after changing it , it remainds the same [22:17] goltoof: heh why isn't there just a general channel :) [22:17] aeon-ltd: yeah it's a broad topic, so is webdev which is #web [22:18] soreau: ahh ok I already found something in the lunchoad [22:18] DysteR_HelpMe: last i looked into xplash. it used some xpecial X startup commands/scripts and was a bit of a hack. I disabled it back then.. and basically find it pointless. when the system boots up for me in under 20 sec.. for me to worry about a splash screen that i see for perhaps 4 sec. [22:18] aeon-ltd: a general channel for..? [22:18] KM0201: programming [22:18] KM0201: general things :) [22:18] aeon-ltd: general linux things? or just general chat? [22:19] #generalthings [22:19] Dr_Willis: lol... [22:19] goltoof: you might have some luck in #linux [22:19] KM0201: general chat, but completely unrelated to anything - as in no topic [22:19] aeon-ltd: ubuntu-offtopic [22:19] hey I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to run a shell command in the background with out having it depend on whether or not my shell session is open [22:19] aeon-ltd: i think that was #hottub :) [22:20] Medjai: command & [22:20] Medjai: 'command &' then 'disown' - is one way. use of 'nohup' may be anotehr.. use 'command &' then 'exit' to close terminal may also work... [22:20] Medjai: it depends on the details :) [22:20] well ok [22:20] it's a php script [22:20] that has no time out [22:20] it continually runs [22:20] KM0201: right but as soon as i say what i'm programming they say go somewhere else. anyway i was just curious if there was a general room for more general stuff [22:20] how do i save gnome-terminal settings and position!?!?!? [22:20] currently i'm running it via "php file.php" [22:20] DysteR_HelpMe: best to keep it in the channel [22:21] Medjai: then something like 'sh pathtoscript &' [22:21] goltoof: why do they tell you to go away? [22:21] will that work with my php script though [22:21] We have the Grub screen right ??? I have the DUAL BOOT maybe I forgot to mention that [22:21] there is still a lot of things I can not run on linux [22:21] Medjai: then 'php file.php &' [22:21] exit* [22:21] just tacking an & [22:21] Medjai: nohup yourcommand [22:21] wilhart: i dont think gnome has that feature. You could use devilspie, or the compiz ccsm tool to force specific size/positions [22:21] Grub Screen and then the Login Screen [22:21] ok [22:21] Evening - SW for MP4 to regular DVD format . Any idears please? [22:21] Called Xsplash Screen [22:21] Dr_Willis: okie [22:21] i think nohup works you're right [22:21] where you can change the background as you log in to Linux Ubuntu [22:21] hello Anyone know an simple tool to make flash banners ? [22:22] gyn1s: GRUB menu, boots kernel -> loads stuff -> plymouth -> gdm login -> Users X session. [22:22] KM0201: it's at this point i realize the futility of my question [22:22] DysteR_HelpMe: : GRUB menu, boots kernel -> loads stuff -> plymouth -> gdm login -> Users X session. [22:22] _Synergy_: Looks to me like it is. [22:22] how do i check the process id and kill it if i want to terminate it [22:22] eon01: as in adobe flash? don't think so [22:22] DysteR_HelpMe: where you login = GDM. [22:22] goltoof: i guess so.. i fail to see why they'd tell you to leave #linux, whne you're discussing programming/ [22:22] i forgot how to do that lol [22:22] Grub Menu where you chose OS [22:22] *choose [22:22] Medjai: pkill processname [22:22] DysteR_HelpMe: correct.. grub - first thing you see. [22:22] yeah but how do i show process names to get the PID [22:22] goltoof: try #programming [22:22] Xsplash where you type your password to login to windows [22:23] oops [22:23] Linux [22:23] DysteR_HelpMe: thats 'gdm' [22:23] KM0201: i just like this room i guess, but the subject is off topic here [22:23] aeon-ltd: not as heavy weight as Adobe , but a simple one to make a flash banner ! [22:23] DysteR_HelpMe: xsplasy = little animation that runs right befor gdm... [22:23] KM0201: yes i am, thx [22:23] Medjai: ps aux, but you don't need the ID with killall or pkill, you just need the process name [22:23] so I need to know how to change just the background of the GDM screen ? [22:23] Medjai: get the id if the process name if not specific enough [22:24] well i want to find out what processes are running [22:24] so i can kill it [22:24] each time i run it i know it has a new PID [22:24] DysteR_HelpMe: thats a simple image file at /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png [22:24] DysteR_HelpMe: edit that file - is one way to change it. [22:24] I just need to get that PID incase i need to kill it [22:24] Ok [22:24] Gonna Try it [22:24] Thank you Very much [22:24] and No i dont know why they named it that. [22:24] Medjai: man pkill [22:24] DysteR_HelpMe: theres some gui tools that can also change it. [22:24] now I can unninstal Xsplash manager Xsplash Screen Manager and STARTUPMANGAR ALL TOGEDAHH!!! [22:24] Dr_Willis: it's named warty-final? [22:24] i can use pkill with out knowing the process id? [22:25] KM0201: yes.. :) must be somthing thats been grandfathered in. [22:25] Medjai: what's the process? [22:25] Medjai: yes if the process name is specific enough [22:25] Dr_Willis: must be... now what does that image contrl again? [22:25] Medjai: when processes keep changing id normally it involves a service [22:25] goltoof say i run 'nohup php file.php' [22:25] DysteR_HelpMe: those commands are proberly so old. they dont even know how to do gdm2 stuff [22:25] i want to kill that process later on [22:25] KM0201: gdm wallpaper [22:25] what do i do [22:25] Hi, I'm trying to use a usb photo frame, but it doesn't work. http://pastebin.com/3jtNCVbf Have tried on ubuntu karmic and debian testing. have searched on the product ID, but found nothing. lsusb says "ID 18b6:1201 Mikkon Technology Limited" [22:25] Medjai: say you do, or did you? [22:25] no i didn't [22:25] hmm, thats interesting [22:25] i haven't run it yet [22:25] when i do run it [22:26] say it's currently running [22:26] Medjai: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:26] how would i go about killing it [22:26] Medjai: depends on what file.php is :) [22:26] Medjai: you better get the process id to avoid kill any other php processes [22:26] Medjai: ps aux | grep php [22:26] what do you mean on what it is? [22:26] Medjai: if you have it restart with a diff pid then you'll have the process you mention [22:26] Help! My ubuntu installation is dieing :( [22:26] PeterNL: i had a usb photo frame keychain years ago... those arent common enough to expect any linux support [22:26] k [22:26] i think that works ilovefairuz [22:27] it maybe what i needed [22:27] gsfai maybe u can be more specific. [22:27] maco: What can I do to make it work anyway? Nothing at all? [22:27] PeterNL: maybe get the software that came with it to run in wine [22:27] There was no software [22:27] PeterNL: other than that....windows vm [22:27] hi all ;] [22:27] Okay, damnit, I'll try the VM way...

[22:28] or try gedit documentname.whatever [22:29] in the terminal while you are within the Desktop folder located in your home folder [22:29] use cd foldername to navigate [22:29] Medjai: DysteR_HelpMe or vi file in terminal [22:29] dir to see what you are lookin at [22:29] and cd .. to go down a folder. [22:30] sounds like the same firefox problem that i had.. it wouldnt launch. [22:30] stealthc: cd .. goes up one directory [22:30] Dr_Willis what would be the way to see the file where I can edit the Grub menu and also its wallpapers ??? [22:30] DysteR_HelpMe: cd ~/Desktop since that's where you're going [22:30] *wallpaper [22:30] DysteR_HelpMe: if you dont want to use the command line, just go applications -> accessories -> gedit and then when you save do it to the desktop [22:30] gsfai: what ubuntu version u using ?

[22:31] u upgraded from 8.0.4.4 LTS ? [22:31] maco where is such file ? [22:31] but instead of that, it also killed the themes, it would appear like i am in an Xfce enviroment [22:31] <_Synergy_> Anyone have suggestions for no sound on 10.04 ? Ubuntu sees my onboard sound: http://pastebin.com/80b2uj2U , nothing is muted, speakers are on, alsamixer looks fine. What can I troubleshoot next?

[22:47] ubottu, tank you [22:47] ; [22:47] was there any packages that fail to install during ur upgrade [22:47] On my Windows PC....I use putty & vnc viewer to connect to my Ubuntu machine which is running vnc server.....I initiate some work remotely on the Ubuntu machine (like open firefox, transmission, etc....) & then I disconnect this session from on the Win machine & power off the Windows machine...at this point....the Ubuntu machine is doing the tasks I have already started........now I want to be able ON THE UBUNTU MACHINE to view the same view I was [22:47] seeing when connected from on the Windows machine..... [22:47] ilovefairuz: haha, i found the problem, their server was down [22:47] I have installed successfully ubuntu 10.10 on my macbook pro, but I don't have any sound. alsamixer shows me everything's nice but I don't get any sound. [22:48] ilovefairuz: other streams work perfectly, thanks! [22:48] Does anyone here use MFT with their SSD under Linux? [22:48] or is there an alternative that does the same thing? [22:48] bluezone: you're welcome [22:48] i didnt see, but this happened before i started updating [22:48] i upgraded because i thought it would fix it, but no luck [22:48] anygivenname: one way. ssh in, run 'vncserver' - that will make a vnc 'desktop' in thebackground on the remote box. You could then use vncserver on the remote box and see the cvnc desktop thats in the background. [22:48] anything relevant info on using MFT under linux is appreciated [22:48] anygivenname: OR you can share the 'current visible' desktop thats on the remote box. thats the default way these days. [22:49] Dr_Willis, can you check your PM? [22:49] Has anyone had any problems connecting to airport extremes? [22:49] Medjai: you are using the exit command and not using the close button? [22:49] yes [22:49] Medjai: perhaps you should look into using screen. that would be the easy way to keep it running [22:49] what's the remote box ? [22:50] logging out didnt work either, it got stuck, and i had to crash it [22:50] is there a way not to have it spit out the irc connection output? [22:50] anygivenname: the box you are vncing INTO.. [22:50] gsfai: trying booting in recovery mode. then you choose xfix [22:50] dpkg? [22:50] and then when its done resume normal boot [22:50] Medjai: its your script - i dont know what its douing.. :) you could pipe its output to /dev/null i guess. [22:51] well the output is not really the issue [22:51] just keeping it alive is [22:51] erm nope..when you restart your pc.. you can press 'esc' to load up grub options.. choose the latest kernel with (recover mode) === andregondim is now known as Andre_Gondim [22:51] Medjai: use screen. that way you can connect back to and monitor the bot.. perhaps. [22:51] I did from the Win machine & then threw it away....but the session I ran is still open & tasks are being done.....how do I view those from on the Ubuntu machine itself ? [22:51] and choose option 'xfix' [22:51] Medjai: what is wrong with script? [22:52] anygivenname: 'vncviewer localhost:1' or whatever port# it was. [22:52] anygivenname: or whatever vnc viewer app you like on the linux box. You will get a 'desktop' in a window that way. [22:52] nothing is wrong with it [22:52] i'm just trying to use nohup php file.php & [22:52] and it's still dieing on me with the exit command [22:52] it won't stay alive int he background after my session is closed [22:53] Medjai: perhaps somthing like --> nohup ./myprogram > foo.out 2> foo.err < /dev/null & [22:54] Medjai: from --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup [22:54] yeah i was on that page [22:55] can you toggle the bootable flag in cfdisk without erasing a drive? [22:55] ok right, im going to recovery mode [22:55] be right back (hopefully) [22:55] Medjai: could be the program is writibng some outpyt. and sunce the terminal is closed.. its crashing/exiting ith an error. [22:56] Another way to avoid the process being bound to a terminal is to have the at daemon run it, as for example with echo command | at now. [22:56] idk that shouldn't be the case [22:56] Dr_Willis: nohup? [22:56] Dr_Willis: oh you already said it [22:56] unless there is a delimeter i can use to supress the output [22:56] shiro: who said toggling the bootable flag erases it? [22:56] Medjai: or use screen... [22:56] Dr_Willis: the usual way to avoid ti freaking out at lackof place to print is ot nohup AND background it [22:56] lol i'll try to take a look at screen [22:56] i'm not quite familiar with it [22:57] but i used this bot 3 years ago [22:57] and i remember using a nohup command that worked [22:57] Medjai: thas what the > foo.out > foo.err does in the exdample i gave above [22:57] i'm just not quite sure what it is [22:57] yeah i'll do that [22:57] Medjai: id do it as: nohup command & [22:57] did that [22:57] dr [22:57] anygivenname: hmm? [22:58] Under Debian, it is possible to use the following command to daemonise a process: /sbin/start-stop-daemon [22:58] Hmm.. [22:58] I just enabled the wallpaper plugin from compiz-fusion-plugins-extra but it isn't doing anything. All I see behind my windows is the cube's skydome. What did I do wrong? [22:58] Dr_Willid: you da man...... [22:58] !find start-stop-daemon [22:58] lol [22:58] File start-stop-daemon found in dpkg, fai-server, ltsp-server [22:58] i think it worked [22:58] anygivenname: what did i break now? :) [22:58] i did ctrl c === johan124 is now known as johaness [22:58] and it's still running in the background [22:59] maybe if i use the exit command now it will stay up? lol [22:59] Medjai, screen: a. screen myapp b. ctrl+a then d to detach c. screen -r to resume (that would be a basic guide) [22:59] I've been using sshfs to mount folders on my webserver on my local machine so I can edit them in emacs, someone told me that I could set up autofs to do this, but all the documentation that I've found about autfs has been about ntfs, anyone know what the syntax is for sshfs mounts in /etc/auto.master ? [22:59] Medjai: or --> command < /dev/null >& /dev/null & [22:59] net [22:59] ok ok 1 sec i'll try that [23:00] but its on a webhosting server [23:00] i'm just going to save it to some file on the directory i cant access /dev/null [23:00] Dr_Willid: was a piece of cake.... [23:00] Done [23:00] anygivenname: 'the cake is a lie' :) [23:01] i got severly insulted by xchat, for trying to open it with root priviliges [23:01] Medjai: err.. cant access /dev/null ? that would be VERY weird. [23:02] But! from a clean user (never opened gdm on root before) nothing works either! [23:02] i mean, ok gnome-panel started, but its applets crashed [23:02] for example "OAFIID:GNOME_NotificationAreaApplet" [23:04] root@shop:/home/soula# synaptic Segmentation fault [23:04] i apparently have something instaled that depends on 'gnome or kde' is there a way to make apt prefer removing it rather than installing kde when i remove gnome? [23:04] is there no start/boot menu on the new 10.10. there was a mem test and boot from harddrive before is that gone? [23:04] hi, can I make Ubuntu look act like a mac. Err how much can I? (I want to convert someone who right now cant afford a mac.) [23:05] did they move the repositories for ubuntu 8.04/8.10 ? [23:05] ResQue: if its a ubuntu only system. grub is hidden by default. you see NO menu? or just a few entries? [23:05] tripelb: there's a lot of ways to do this on the internet, just be forewarned, I 'tested' one the other day, and ended u reinstalling rather than removing it. [23:05] tripelb: theres a mac4lin theme/script - but i dont reccomend it.. use ubuntu as it was designed... [23:05] nello Dr_Willis [23:05] woodzy: 8.10 was End of Lifed in April, so its repositories were removed from the mirroring system. 8.04 is not EOL because it's Long Term Support release, and should still be there. [23:05] Random832: just remove the package first?

[23:06] Dr_Willis i boot from the new install CD and i just starts the ubuntu live desktop (with the option to try or install ubuntu). [23:06] 'looks like a mac' => dosent act like a mac.... - can get annoying. [23:06] tripelb, the looks or the osx stupidity? [23:06] how can i see the grub menu? [23:06] ResQue: when you see a little man at the start of booting at the botoom of the screen. hit the space key. [23:06] ResQue: theres options in there. :) [23:06] !grub2 | ResQue it's on this page how to automatically unhide grub [23:06] ResQue it's on this page how to automatically unhide grub: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[23:07] Hi. I start "screen" tools how kill sessions there? [23:07] woodzy: "8.04/8.10 system" doesn't make sense. A system's either 8.04 or 8.10, not both... [23:07] 8.10 [23:07] but makes me question why a 8.04 system is LT and not the latter 8.10 ? [23:08] installed ubuntu-mini 10.04 with xubuntu suite of applications..runs great and works nicely with my 3g wireless modem. === verb3k_ is now known as verb3k [23:08] woodzy: 8.10 hasn't received security updates in over six months. I'd strongly recommend upgrading. [23:08] Is there something that will generate as much traffic on the network as possible? I want to test a gigabit card agasint another one. [23:08] romankrv: by pid, or reattach and exit [23:08] woodzy: because we designate one release every two years as LTS so that people who want a longer release cycle can use them [23:08] !lts [23:08] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [23:08] woodzy: 6.06 (which is now unsupported on Desktop), 8.04, and 10.04 are LTS releases. [23:08] Dr_Willis, keeps telling me ambiguous output redirect [23:09] hello [23:09] scanimage -L finds my scanner only with sudo - I changed the permissions on the dev but it still can't see it - I must be missing something obvious :/ [23:09] geegeegee, hmm... scp /dev/null user@host:/dev/null (?) [23:10] can anyone tell me how to launch metasploit from terminal after installation im trying to set it up for a class [23:10] ok, makes sense. [23:10] tripelb, you can get a basic logic without looking like a mac http://imagebin.org/129974, but still mimicking some basic keyboard shortcuts to act a bit like it (for example alt+space) [23:10] tripelb, it has to look a bit different imho [23:10] I need to run a NVIDIA install script through chroot but I keep getting errors. [23:11] can anyone tell me how to launch metasploit from terminal after installation im trying to set it up for a class [23:11] minus the security updates i won't be able to install any apps through the repositories anymore? [23:11] I am logged in to the other user but when I run the script i get ERROR: missing/broken uname. Cannot perform platform check. [23:11] geegeegee, or this maybe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/c1/netperf.1.html [23:12] brontoeee, what's the stupidity (real question not trolling. I've liked the mac myself. Even though I dont have it. [23:12] bbl [23:12] java? === ubuntu is now known as dukasko [23:12] woodzy: see the EOLUpgrades page ubottu links to. It details where the repositories moved to. You seriously should upgrade, though. [23:12] ok, thanks [23:13] brontoeee, the actual limitation of the finder for example, however i do like the looks of it [23:13] thanks, rww [23:13] ups, tripelb [23:13] alguem ae sabe como arrumo um convite do canal java [23:13] how do i make ubuntu see my ipod touch?

(certainly not uninterrupted power supply) cant find it on google [23:15] i managed to fix firefox, but synaptic still gets segmentation fault, and i cant make the gnome-panel work [23:15] ubottu: tell dukasko about register [23:15] Error: I haven't seen dukasko, I'll let you do the telling. [23:15] eep, just a little too late ;( [23:16] would someone point me to the solution for making the backlit keyboard light up after boot on a toshiba satellite notebook with 10.04..thanks. [23:16] at last -.- === gsfai-2 is now known as gsfai [23:16] brontoeee, I would do it with regular ubuntu not a special one. - I'm not able to help him with any other version. [23:17] tripelb, all i have is regular with some irregular repos [23:17] brontoeee, well thanks. I have to go out in the world.... (I love being online just too much) [23:18] tripelb, no problem [23:18] i think im out of ideas :/ [23:19] NOHUP worked when i used it to write to nohup.out [23:19] i used nohup php file.php > nohup.out & [23:19] exaile isn't connecting to shoutcast for some reason. [23:19] i'm guessing the php script just needs something to write the output to [23:19] gsfai: did you remove your .gnome directory? [23:19] Medjai, /dev/null ? [23:19] Medjai, php5-cli file.php or what? [23:19] what's that brontoeee [23:20] otak: Yes, i also tried starting gdm from a new user account, gnome-panel still crashes, and i still get this weird xfce-like enviroment [23:20] idk it wasn't writing there i dont think the hosting company gives me access there [23:20] the cli version of php, i think thats installed automagically with php5 [23:20] "wired xfce" ?? < brontoeee, Irrecgular repos... sounds sexy too me. All I have is medibuntu stuff [23:20] hey [23:20] gsfai: could you screenshot it by any chance? [23:21] i have a question about the 64-bit download [23:21] is their an intel version? [23:21] instead of amd64 [23:21] tripelb, unofficial is the word i was looking for [23:21] just a second ill upload [23:22] anyone else getting shoutcast radio streams in exaile, cause mine isn't. [23:22] shawn146: no.. 64bit, is the amd64 version [23:22] shawn146: it doesn't matter its just a name it works anyway === AnggaDj98_ is now known as MetalSport [23:22] oh [23:22] does it work on core i7? [23:22] http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/2629/likethat.png [23:23] there [23:23] Windows 7 64-bit does [23:23] it came on this pc [23:23] you can also see that gnome-panel is half-dead, [23:23] brontoeee, yes. I have all the repositories checked under "software sources", sys>adm>soft.sources [23:24] such a shame, a download affects my music stream :( [23:24] gsfai: gnome's decoration manager seems to have failed, the gtk theme reverted to the stock [23:24] yep [23:24] also gnome-panel failed === MetalSport is now known as RandomGuy_AC [23:24] gsfai: if you restart it does it do the same? [23:24] question: if I "install updates in the background" will it also AUTO-reboot. (which I do not want!!!) [23:24] aeon-ltd, i restarted like 5 times [23:25] tripelb: no [23:25] if you where to be formating a new 2TB drive would you pick ext3 or ext4? and or does it really matter? [23:25] gsfai: just the decoration manager? [23:25] the whole computer [23:25] hi [23:25] to be honest, when i first saw it, i tried upgrading do 10.04.1, hoping it will fix it [23:25] bluezone, what is unsupported updates (lucid backports) - do you know? [23:26] there has to be some libary that makes stuff crash [23:26] Crash1hd: ext4 is meant to succeed ext3 so I would definatly format ext4 [23:26] ?? [23:26] Crash1hd: ext4. It's a lot faster to do a filesystem check on a 2TB drive on ext4 than ext3. A *lot* faster. [23:26] hi matt [23:26] tripelb: no sorry, i dont follow you [23:26] gsfai: just restart gnome-theme-manager with alt-f2 or a terminal, see what happens [23:26] hi [23:26] gsfai: apt-get install -f, but what does gnome-panel --replace? [23:26] neiz Crash1hd I got into trouble so I went back and did everything in the default way.

[23:37] Crash1hd: on most systems, you can only have four primary partitions total. an extended partition is a primary partition that's a container for one or more "logical partitions", and you can have a lot of logical partitions. So technically, the choice is between primary and logical, I guess. [23:37] num lock fixed it...thanks gsfai [23:38] no problem :) [23:38] rww, thanks :) [23:38] Crash1hd: some OSes need their system partition to be a primary partition to boot properly.

[23:44] !resetpanels | shcherbak [23:44] shcherbak: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:44] gsfai: follow last ubottu... remark [23:44] maco, ty === fixme is now known as rohdef [23:45] gnome-panel restarted, and i got twenty application crash reports [23:45] (more like eight) [23:46] I have two users in a group called "bananas" and i want the two users to share a directory called "Downloads" with alot of underdirectory. I want that both users to have acces to read/write in the directory. How can i do that? [23:46] maco: i doubt that someone can even list 60 distros, not mentioning having them installed :P [23:47] xindz, chgrp [23:47] Explain more : [23:47] xindz: make the group owner of the directory [23:47] xindz: ever directory/file has user / group / others permissions. [23:48] chgrp ./Downloads bananas [23:48] what packages are needed in order to have a complete perl ? [23:48] for example stock perl is missing perldoc [23:48] xindz: so the directory could be like chown xindz:banannas Downloads [23:48] ok [23:48] and chmod g+rw ./Downloads [23:48] But how about all under folders ? [23:48] how can I access an encrypted home-directory? ecryptfs-mount-private does nothing (not even ask for a password) [23:48] --recursive / -r [23:49] thanks [23:50] i had both ubuntu and windows xp, ubuntu failed after power loss for some reason and windows is fine. where are my desktop data from ubuntu now? [23:50] Dimitar: /home/Dimitar/Desktop [23:50] i have just two partitions but in windows i dont know where tofind the data i had in ubuntu [23:50] you probably wont be able to find the ext3/ext4 partition under windows [23:50] Dimitar: you need to install an ext3 filesystem reader in windows to see ubuntu partition [23:50] gsfai: you can with a reader [23:51] I cant mount samba share from nautilus, working only with ip, why ? [23:51] never heard of a reader before [23:51] d [23:51] Is there a reasonably usable ext4 driver for Windows? [23:51] Dimitar: gsfai fs-driver.org [23:51] Hi everyone. Is this the right place to ask about netbook remix issues? [23:51] or a liveCD install [23:51] no, and the ext3 driver doesn't work with default ext3 partition settings on recent versions of Ubuntu. [23:51] how can i configure gnome-screensaver to let multimedia keys through ? [23:51] or most other distributions, actually [23:52] rww: what the fs-driver.org one? [23:52] histo: correct [23:52] gsfai: srange, but all "synaptic seg fault" point to "sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin" [23:52] I had some fun times a year or so ago figuring all that out.

[23:58] i mean root [23:58] i am using the "Creat Partition" tool that comes of part of the install wizard. its asking me for a mount point, but where is this info stored. if i select the parition to be "/" root how does ubuntu know at next boot time that this is what i have choosen? is it stored in a file like fstab i am looking for a deeper understanding of how this works [23:58] Dimitar: i'm confused what is your question [23:58] ResQue: yea /etc/fstab [23:58] It's stored in /etc/fstab [23:58] ResQue: yes it goes into fstab when you do the install [23:59] Dimitar, . is wherever you are [23:59] histo thanks. that was lots easyer than i though it was going to be haha [23:59] MAAAAAD thanks as well [23:59] ResQue: if youre trying to modify an existing install not do a new one, then you need to change the fstab on that disk [23:59] ResQue: and in that case, gparted or fdisk is what you ought to use instead of the partitioner
