[00:00] histo can you recommend me one please? [00:00] Hey I have an issue with mysql =( ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [00:00] hi [00:00] when I use mplayer -ao alsa, then seeking is very "responsive"/fast but if I use -ao pulse it is "laggy"/slow [00:00] Dimitar: recoment you one what? [00:00] any idea why? [00:00] is there a way to go to 'server edition' by removing all desktop-related packages and installing some metapackage for all the server stuff? [00:00] like you can with kubuntu etc [00:00] Frenk, i had this error too... not sure how i solved it... try checking the .conf file [00:01] hallo [00:01] g0th: different way of buffering i think...pulse fills up a buffer and empties it, refilling only as needed. alsa tries to refill constantly [00:01] Random832: Ubuntu Server is Ubuntu Desktop without the ubuntu-desktop package and with linux-server package instead of linux-generic [00:01] please help me [00:01] maco: well the "pulse" way sucks bad [00:02] Random832: different kernel [00:02] boa noite [00:02] g0th: depends what you want *shrug* if youre more interested in not having it constantly waking up to refill the buffer then youd want pulse [00:02] when i use the 'sudo apt-get --reinstall ' does it reset the settings for that application to default?

[00:02] gsfai: there is no conf >D? wtf [00:02] the_eye_: you havent asked a question [00:02] rww: i guess i don't know what all is ubuntu-desktop dependencies and what would be there anyway [00:02] woodzy: use purge [00:02] ok [00:02] woodzy: no it will keep your old configs [00:02] after removing ubuntu-desktop and walking through deborphan removing stuff with no dependencies, it's getting pretty minimal [00:03] bobbyd? can you explain? [00:03] Random832: Ubuntu Server is command-line only. It's pretty minimal by default... [00:03] Random832: what are you trying to do? [00:03] !unit [00:03] histo: how would i reset an applications settings to default? [00:03] Random832: just ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, linux-generic, a bootloader, and language packs.

Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [00:03] Random832: sorry, s/generic/server/ [00:03] woodzy: purge it [00:03] can you install unity ? [00:03] rww: i didnt think there was still a separate server kernel [00:03] woodzy: apt-get purge [00:03] frenk, it should be called my.cnf [00:04] !info linux-server maverick [00:04] linux-server (source: linux-meta): Complete Linux kernel on Server Equipment..

[00:04] rww: oh ok [00:04] gsfai: both nothing [00:04] histo after installation the rest is intuitive ? i should be able to figure it out quickly or it is complex? [00:04] i mean i need to get things back fast for tomrow [00:04] maco: it may be a transitional package. dunno. [00:04] rww when or what i am willing to download the beta if its out [00:04] did u just install mysql? [00:04] Dimitar: installing what? [00:04] i reinstalled it [00:05] rww: its a metapackage, and Depends: linux-generic-pae [00:05] it should be in /etc/mysql/my.cnf [00:05] maco: I would say that in this case it is pretty obvious that -ao alsa is _MUCH_ better than -ao pulse [00:05] yo!!! [00:05] Dimitar: I have no idea what you are talking about? [00:05] how's it goin tonight, guys [00:06] eightiesk: It's on natty. You should /join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support related to it.

Only mounts with ip [00:06] then try /etc/my.cnf [00:07] the_eye_: no idea [00:07] can i ask a best practices questoin here or do I need to post that in offtopic? [00:07] My Ubuntu desktop computer refuses to boot (I get a 'Gave up waiting for root device.' error). It booted fine six days ago, before I shut it off to go spend holidays with my family. Now it fails. Please tell me how to get my desktop working again so I'm not stuck on my laptop. [00:07] thanks guys, it worked. :) [00:07] woodzy: np [00:07] now hear me out ... i _KNOW_ there are plenty of threads regarding .bashrc and people posting theres. Does anyone care to share theirs via pastebin.ca -- that would contain things that would help a nub like myself? Please K? thanks! :) [00:07] bobbyd, can i use purge to reset my desktop settings to default? [00:08] gsfai: this file also dont exist - what the heck is going on oO [00:09] Frenk, my.cnf is probably playing hide&seek :P [00:09] My Ubuntu 10.10 desktop computer refuses to boot (I get a 'Gave up waiting for root device.' error). It booted fine six days ago, before I shut it off to go spend holidays with my family. Now it fails. Please tell me how to get my desktop working again so I'm not stuck on my laptop. Can anyone help? [00:09] try ~/.my.cnf [00:09] Lxndr, fsck [00:09] Lxndr: Boot livecd and fsck the disk [00:09] gsfai: i think locate is fine and if locate didnt find anything ... the file just dont exist -.- [00:10] wow fsck is sooo easy to mispell [00:10] Frenk, i would say you try to reinstall the mysql-server package [00:10] mockillo, gsfai: I lack any CDs of Ubuntu (and this laptop fails to have a CD burner, as well). [00:11] Have a pendrive? [00:11] gsfai: apt-get install -reinstall mysql-server? [00:11] Lxndr, can you boot into recovery mode? [00:11] frenk: i would prefer apt-get remove --purge mysql-server && apt-get install mysql-server [00:11] gsfai: does it delete my databases oO??? [00:11] ehh probably [00:12] Frenk: purge likely will [00:12] try going into a terminal [00:12] mockillo: No pen drive. gsfai: I've tried every recovery mode I have (I have 4 available in GRUB). None boot. Windows XP (available in GRUB, as well) *does* boot. [00:12] and typing sudo find / -name "*my*cnf" [00:13] So you can boot XP? [00:13] mockillo: I can, indeed, boot XP. [00:13] anyone know if I need any additional libs to be able to access a blackberry tour 9630 in 10.04? [00:13] lsusb doesn't list any RIM devices [00:14] Lxndr: What filesystem is your disk? ext3 or 4? [00:14] but the phone is charging off my USB port so I know it's not a connection issue... [00:14] mockillo: Not entirely sure. How can I find that out? [00:15] nothing in dmesg either...seems pretty suspect [00:15] Well, boot from another device that can read the filesystem :P [00:15] Lxndr: Can't you burn a new livecd from this computer if you can boot Windows XP? [00:15] gsfai: Just /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf and /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/my-small.cnf [00:16] what is the command to update list [00:16] update pakages [00:16] mockillo: If I had a blank CD, probably. Unfortunately, I lack one. [00:16] in ubuntu [00:16] fabiobik, apt-get update [00:16] aptitude update and upgrade [00:16] update for list, upgrade for actual upgrade of packages [00:17] to upgrade the list [00:17] to see if have new versions of pakages [00:17] histo what now i installed it [00:17] can you do 2 or more commands on apt-get at once, like doing an update, upgrade, and install some packages, all in one apt-get command? [00:17] where is the partition? :) [00:17] Frenk, try reading /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf, /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/my-small.cnf is just a documentation [00:17] Lxndr: Ah :S Well, your best bet is to get a nother device to boot from. [00:17] mockillo: Just got a blank CD. Let's see if burning actually works. [00:17] Go for it :) [00:18] gsfai: content of the file> [mysqld_safe] syslog [00:18] (tbh, I have horrible luck burning CDs) [00:18] fabiobik: aptitude update and then aptitude upgrade will update your repos and show you available upgrades, and ask you to do them. [00:18] Dimitar: i've been responding to you that I have no idea what you are talking about. [00:18] Frenk, im honestly out of ideas, [00:18] histo i installed the ext reader [00:18] Lxndr: same, just dont do like me and use the built in windows one [00:18] histo so how can i see my files now ? [00:18] i removed a bunch of packages and now ssh X11 forwarding doesn't work, what am I missing? [00:18] what is the deal with the permissions in Ubuntu? - I changed the permissions /dev/sg2 to (r-x) but the scanimage does not see it [00:19] THOUGH [00:19] read /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/my-small.cnf [00:19] * Random832 was trying to remove everything gui related except a couple programs [00:19] Lxndr: imgburn is rather safe, if you usually have bad luck :P [00:19] Dimitar: I don't know supposedly rww said that it isn't working. But i'd ask in #windows. [00:19] having issues installing a program. something about my gtk libraries? I think its just an old program and looking for an old set of libs. here is my terminal: http://pastebin.com/LCGNyLLp [00:19] it might say what to do [00:19] what packages are required for x11 ssh forwarding to work? [00:19] * gsfai is never out of ideas === al3x is now known as Guest66777 [00:19] what I would like to do is an apt-get upgrade and an apt-get install for some packages, all at once, so it lists everything to be done for both and asks me Y/N just once [00:20] Random832: X11 and SSH server I assume [00:20] mockillo: define "X11' [00:20] Random832: just the ssh client [00:20] On Debian I just had to install ssh server and the core xorg package atleast. [00:20] Not sure what that package is called on ubuntu [00:20] gsfai: thanks [00:20] Skaperen: er, server side. as in, i can't forward my Xming from putty on my windows machine [00:20] Random832: then run ssh in a context where DISPLAY variable is set [00:20] and it worked before and my putty config hasn't changed [00:21] Random832: are you running an X server on your windows machine? [00:21] Skaperen: yes [00:21] greetings all. after I upgraded to 10.10, grub2 lost my Windows menu entries [00:21] did i not mention Xming? [00:21] gsfai: mh maybe I need to create the my.conf file? [00:21] Frenk, x-actly :P [00:21] Random832: the question then is if putty will detect that and do it automatically [00:21] it worked before, and nothing's changed on this end [00:21] is there a default file? [00:21] Random832: the forwarding is initiated by the client [00:21] well [00:21] and os-prober doesn't detect windows [00:21] like an example i can just paste [00:21] Skaperen: nothing has changed in my putty config [00:21] /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.1/examples/my-small.cnf [00:22] :P [00:22] but i've uninstalled a bunch of stuff on the ubuntu machine [00:22] can somone help me add windows entries back to grub?.. [00:22] what _exactly_ does ssh x11 forwarding depend on, on the ssh server side? [00:23] not just ubuntu, but my whole room is falling apart O_O [00:23] Random832: ssh will know you have an X11 context when it seens the environment variable DISPLAY defined (possibly with the correct X11 reference syntax) [00:23] maybe 2012 was wrong? maybe its 2011? [00:23] Random832: I don't know how a program on Windows would detect that there is an X server running there [00:23] Skaperen: it's NOT a problem on the windows/putty end - nothing has changed there [00:24] Random832: so putty is setting up the forwarding? [00:24] ... [00:25] the problem is the _only_ visible difference is that $DISPLAY isn't defined on the ubuntu side after i connect, and i haven't made any changes on the windows end [00:25] gsfai: no i created both files - mysql still doesnt work [00:25] i don't have a clue how to diagnose this, and you need to just STOP telling me it's something wrong with my putty config because NOTHING has changed there since it worked before [00:25] Random832: is the sshd on the ubuntu side doing a listen on an X11 port number? [00:25] no, it's not - that's the PROBLEM [00:26] there is something i have uninstalled that it apparently needed to do that and i have no clue what [00:26] frenk: there should be an option for mysql to get its configuration from. find it! [00:26] So whats the story on 10.10 networking? I've look for solutions for about 2 hours and I cannot get even a wired connection established. I've tried to use the standard network/interfaces configuration and the Network applet but neither seem to work. Is there some well known bug that I can't seem to locate? === aidrocsid is now known as melange [00:26] Random832: then either the sshd config is blocking it (that'd not the default) or putty is not initiating it for some reason (must not be due to the configs you didn't change, but maybe something else) [00:26] when doing X forwarding - i thought the SSH agent set somthing up for that. [00:27] the ONLY thing that has changed since when it worked is i have uninstalled a large number of packages on the ubuntu side [00:27] Random832: you need openssh-server on the ubuntu side [00:27] uh, that wasn't one of them - i know i need a sshd :P [00:27] perhaps the ssh agent is not part of sshd.. but in some other package. === Guest180 is now known as ogra [00:28] Random832: that should be all you need ... but I don't have putty so I can't test it that way ... I have Debian, Slackware, and Ubuntu here right now [00:28] Skaperen: and you have an ubuntu box that has nothing X-related installed except for [say] gdmap and its dependencies? [00:28] I try mysqld_safe ) [00:28] Random832: so youy are using what on the windows side to actually Display the X programs? xming? [00:29] there's no x server, there's no metapackage like xbase-clients or xutils [00:29] i'm thinking there's something in one of the latter that is missing [00:29] Dr_Willis: yes [00:29] Random832: I do have servers with no X at work [00:29] Skaperen: and you can run X apps on them? [00:29] and they have no X server _installed_ not just none running [00:29] Random832: no ... because those apps are not there [00:29] Random832: ive done similer setups.. but i found letting the xming wizard handle just launchign me an xterm worked better then using putty :) [00:30] gsfai: mysqld_safe works =) [00:30] :D [00:30] the lamp works too :P [00:30] Skaperen: my goal is to run X apps on a computer that has no X server installed, displaying on the forwarded display [00:30] for some reason it's not working [00:30] and you're just saying that it should work without any evidence [00:30] Random832: Just to rule out windows/putty end, don't you have a linux box around you can ssh -X to the ubuntu server just to check? === jethrot is now known as bdbdbd [00:31] Random832: I think the question is, if I ssh from my Ubuntu+X11 desktop at work to one of the servers, will the X port be listening even though no X apps are there to use it ... that I don't know ... would have to test it tomorrow [00:31] mockillo: I have already ruled out the windows/putty end to my satisfaction. It literally worked two hours ago. [00:31] Well, you need X installed on the physical machine that executes the code. [00:31] and nothing has changed on that end [00:31] Random832: just testing here.. i putty in, with the X forwarding enabled. I get a DISPLAY of 'localhost:11.0' [00:31] i was even _in the same putty ssh session_ when it stopped working [00:31] And in the case of X forwarding you execute the code on the remote end [00:32] Random832: did sshd just stop listening on the X11 port while in that session? [00:32] Random832: or did DISPLAY get undefined in the shell? [00:33] Skaperen: i don't actually know, i didn't check netstat before restarting putty [00:33] all i know is i could no longer run apps, and after i restarted putty it no longer listened on the port or defined DISPLAY for the [new] shell [00:33] ? [00:33] Random832: but NOW ... when you make a new ssh session, it is NOT even listening on the X port at all? [00:33] it's not listening on it at all [00:33] gsfai, I am new to Ubuntu but have used another dist for many years - I am trying to get my scanner to work - it works cl with sudo - I tried changing the port permissions but scanimage does not see the scanner without sudo - what else do I need to change? [00:34] Random832: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [00:34] xming latest versions are still not Public are they. :( have to use the version from 2007 if i want the free version. [00:34] Random832: any way you can do a similar test from a Linux/BSD/Unix desktop box running an X server, with genuine openssh client, to the same box, and see if that has the same problem? [00:34] i'm not made of computers [00:35] Random832: just asking [00:35] gem_cat, im afraid i've never worked with scanners :/ [00:35] Random832: really? [00:35] Random832: lol... [00:35] When looking at the sensor applet, what does temp1, temp2 mean? I know what core1, core2 means but... [00:35] thanks anyway gsfai [00:35] supercom32, temperature [00:35] Random832: to diagnose it, I'd have to do some things with an ssh client ... and I have no idea how to do those things with putty [00:35] bobbyd: THANK YOU! [00:36] supercom32: mainboar temp? [00:36] Random832: with openssh client, I'd set up some debugging modes [00:36] bbl [00:36] Skaperen: bobbyd's link pointed out i need xauth [00:36] wheres everyone [00:36] bobbyd: No idea. But it shows a higher temprature than the core1, core2 does so. [00:37] Random832: google is your friend [00:37] bobbyd: i tried google, stuff like 'x11 forwarding stopped working' [00:37] doesn't work if i don't know what to search for [00:37] supercom32: doesn't the lmsensors client tell you that? [00:37] I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!11!!!oneone!!!!!!!eleven!!! [00:37] it originates from a library called libc [00:37] Random832: use metagoogle [00:38] Random832: you won't need xauth if you do "xhost +" on an existing session via that X server ... how to do that in Windows I have no idea [00:38] Random832: "xhost +" tells X to allow any host to connect [00:38] `1~1~1~1~1~1~1~1~1~3~3~3~ [00:38] sorry [00:38] shcherbak, lol wtf? :P [00:38] Is this the right room for a major bug/problem troubleshooting? [00:38] bobbyd: It says smBus nForce2 adapter. Whats that? [00:38] Skaperen: er, then i wouldn't be doing SSH X11 forwarding i'd just be directly connecting to X [00:39] exaile is not connecting to shoutcast radio..i upgraded it to 0.3.2.0 and still won't work. [00:39] supercom32: that's the motherboard chipset [00:39] Pillow on keyboard. [00:39] Random832: ssh can do forwarding with or without xauth ... but X might not allow it [00:39] supercom32: try googling that and maybe someone on the hyperwebs knows :) === DysteR_HelpMe is now known as DysteR_Posting [00:40] Random832: I've done it ... but that wasn't a case with Windows, so I don't know the effect with that [00:40] ill ask anyway lol, Basically (ive had this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 both 64bit), every now and then (Usually every 2nd or 3rd time i start up), the system refuses to finish booting. [00:40] SO. how can i reinstall libc without removing half of my programs? [00:40] its stops booting and completely freezes the system and seemingly random places during bootup, always before X starts. [00:41] Random832: I do understand that this situation would not have given you an obvious search term to google for [00:41] bergqvistjl: does it only happen on boot? [00:41] I have a darn strange problem [00:41] yes, if it actually completes booting then its fine [00:41] gsfai: try sudo apt-get install libc6 [00:42] i thought it was because i had my USB webcam in but it wasnt that. [00:42] it just does it randomly though [00:42] bergqvistjl: then you need to grab a syslog from the failure and see if it's also producing a core dump [00:42] no changes [00:42] hello room does anyone know a good video podcast ,something like a how to (linux based-ubuntu )???? [00:42] I'm getting a lot of background static on my speakers in ubuntu that I don't get in windows- any suggestions? [00:42] OK. [00:42] how would i get that? [00:42] bergqvistjl: how long of time have you given it to finish ... just in case something is just taking way too long? [00:42] Skaperen: putty manages its own authorization, i think, now that i look at the options [00:42] 2hrs? [00:42] syslog should be somewhere in /var/log [00:42] now i have got a new problem - my website is running (uses mysql) but i cant access phpmyadmin [00:43] i can tell its frozen cos the keyboard leds dont light up. (num lock etc) [00:43] bergqvistjl: OK, 2 hours is beyond any of the delays I know about [00:43] frenk: no other clues? [00:43] gsfai: no ... site is running - in safe mode and with mysqld [00:43] hola Edgan [00:43] from the kernel messages i get on screen theres no errors, just the next line fails to appear and i know its frozen [00:44] no HDD activity either [00:44] what do you get when trying to connect with it? [00:44] bergqvistjl: is it always at the same line? or near the same place? [00:44] bergqvistjl: at this point I'd guess some device is not responding after it first did respond to a probe ... USB devices are sometimes culpable in this ... the syslog as suggested might help [00:44] #2013 Unable to connect to server [00:44] BlueFish_: try http://www.thelinuxlink.net/ [00:44] erm no, sometimes its before the fsck, sometimes its after. [00:44] having issues installing a program. something about my gtk libraries? I think its just an old program and looking for an old set of libs. here is my terminal: http://pastebin.com/LCGNyLLp [00:44] in phpmyadmin [00:45] bergqvistjl: did you try doing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see if X would let you out to a text console? [00:45] thanks rat [00:45] yw [00:45] no, no keyboard response whatsoever [00:45] this happens before X starts up [00:45] I wonder if anyone can help: I'm getting a lot of background static on my speakers in ubuntu that I don't get in windows- any suggestions? [00:45] frenk: safemode obviously only supports connectin via the socket, not via port 336255215 or whatever port mysql uses [00:45] it even does it if i boot into recovery mode as well [00:46] bergqvistjl: hmm, well I would run "lspci" and google for problems with your mainboard chipset or other components. And remove everything from the machine that you don't need connected [00:46] I have a latencey issue with an atheros wifi card, can anyone help me pinpoint the problem? i'm running 10,10 32-bit [00:46] bergqvistjl: either some component is just broken, or there's a bug that's causing the kernel to lock up [00:46] I have AHCI set for my HDD (1 sata drive), and my keyboard and mouse are USB, no other devices. [00:46] bergqvistjl: if there's a core dump on disk, that might give some clues [00:47] right [00:47] bergqvistjl: do you run windows too? [00:47] Yes [00:47] bergqvistjl: next time it happens try this to see if the kernel is locked up hard ... Alt+SysRq+u then Alt+SysRq+o [00:47] and obviously no lock-ups there? [00:47] ok [00:47] no probs on windows lol [00:47] had to ask :) [00:48] I have a floppy disk image i mounted. I edited some files, now I want to push those changes back into the image.

[00:48] i must be lucky [00:48] bergqvistjl: if those 2 keyboard actions get to the kernel, the first will remount all filesystems read/only and the 2nd will power off [00:48] ok [00:48] i think the last time it happened on 10.04, i looked at the logs and they just stopped, with no errors. [00:49] there's no reason i need too ping out of freenode when im on WIFI [00:49] mysqld obviously doesnt start at all =( [00:49] anyway ladies and gentleman, im going to rejoin tomorrow [00:49] its just odd that it only randomly happens, and not always in the exact same place [00:49] bergqvistjl: I've had that happen 10.04 was log deficient [00:49] Frenk, check , check, cheeeeeeeck the .cnf [00:49] BSOD you like it [00:49] bergqvistjl: have you installed a proprietary video driver? [00:49] thats all i have to say [00:49] yes Nvidia [00:50] have a nice night [00:50] I never had a BSOD on Ubuntu Linux but sometimes filesystems locked up on me because my computer was too Hot [00:50] Quantum_Ion: i [00:50] bergqvistjl: I've had Nvidia drive lock on me a couple times ... I'm sure it was Nvidia ... but it was still rare [00:50] but i dont think thats the problem, cos it also happened when booting a live CD, which wasnt using proprietory drivers [00:50] Anyone able to help with gtk problems? [00:51] bergqvistjl: but some more problematic cards might hose it ... or ... it could be anything else ... usually some hardware issue [00:51] I hope its not my motherboard that has something funny in it somewhere which the kernel doesnt like [00:51] (its a Biostar t-power i45.

[00:52] I need a A small ubuntu iso, I'm setting up a honeypot. I dont need X11 or anything just CLI and the basics. Can Ubuntu provide that? [00:52] looks like ubuntu doesn't have that library (at least i can't find libgtk-1.2.so.0 in the repo [00:52] I tried googling to no avail. mplayer brings the menu up but doesnt let me click anything to play it. [00:52] I wonder if anyone can help: I'm getting a lot of background static on my speakers in ubuntu that I don't get in windows- any suggestions? [00:52] its happend when cold.

Also, isn't that an old library? I think gtk is up to 2.2 now [00:54] bergqvistjl: replacing parts with others similar, or leaving optional parts out, might be the next hardware diagnosis [00:54] hello everyone [00:54] spankpole, 2.22.1 [00:54] Spaztic_One, 2.22.1 [00:54] well i took my tuner cards out and that made no differrence [00:54] bergqvistjl: and one important part to swap in a hardware swap test sequence is the power supply [00:54] that might be tricky. [00:55] bergqvistjl: yeah ... it can require pulling a lot of stuff out to get it out [00:55] well no, i just dont have another power supply [00:55] Guys , I have a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 32 bits I get a "error splicing file: input output error" when i try to copy stuff from my hd to my USB [00:55] Hey, how do I play a dvd .iso file?

I dont need X11 or anything just CLI and the basics. Can Ubuntu provide that? [00:55] is it because my HDD is on AHCI mode? [00:56] sometimes i have to google for a missing library from another repository. Then extract the package to an empty folder.

[01:50] Gorilla_No_Baka, I don't know it doesn't make sense to be honest [01:51] icht [01:51] Gorilla_No_Baka, it may be a permission that is attached or changed by being in root, rather then root itself [01:51] neither to me..

[02:22] ok see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760568 [02:22] or you can google with the ID [02:22] Guest18041: common things.. synaptic is running/open, system update is running, you have another terminal running a root command.. [02:23] KM0201: What caused this was I had to do an xkill on synaptic [02:23] and thus synaptic never cleared out its Lock file. [02:24] Dr_Willis: Exactly so how do I fix ir [02:24] Guest18041: open system monitor, and look at the processes tab, and look if synaptic is still running, if so, kill it(right click, kill) [02:24] KM0201: If I xkilled it shouldn't it no longer be running? [02:24] Guest18041: in theory, but it could still be a zombie [02:25] KM0201: Zombies? I thought that was only in movies?

[02:28] sacarlson: 2.6.32-23-generic [02:28] Vadtec: normaly if you upgrade a kernel it still leaves the last one, so it was just a bad boot, these things hapen [02:28] sacarlson: not sure what the deal was [02:29] Guest18041: ok.. so.. whats your theory?... unless your user doesn't have permissin to do whatever you're doing... but the error you're getting, suggests another process is using root [02:29] sacarlson: indeed, thanks for the help, same to you KM0201 [02:29] I'm using Eclipse 3.5 with the Android SDK.

[02:30] ZykoticK9: Now see you have hit onto it, I need to delete the lock file [02:31] Lxndr: it could be you have the bios set to a boot sequence of hd first, you can change that to cd drive first in bios [02:31] KM0201: I am not a newbie by the way, I have been using linux for 7 years. [02:31] Guest18041: i didn't suggest you were. [02:31] sacarlson: Even when the bios is set to boot from the CD drive, it still bypasses. :( [02:32] Lxndr: I assume when you have booted linux that you can read the cd drive contents [02:32] ZykoticK9: So should I just open a file browser as root & delete the file? [02:33] Lxndr: well then maybe the media is bad or the drive not good, do you have a usb flash disk and does your pc have usb boot support in bios? [02:33] sacarlson: Unfortunately, it fails to boot linux successfully (hence the re-install). However, it *can* boot to Windows, and in there, I can read it perfectly. I have no usb flash disk. [02:33] Guest18041, i never recommend opening browser as root - "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" from terminal 'should' work [02:33] fwiw i got my scanner up and learned udev at the same time [02:34] Lxndr, I have seen that problem occasionally. If the Bios really was set right, it could be that your system is just a bit incompatible with the boot code on the Ubuntu CD. I have successfully used the alternate installer in cases like that. [02:34] Lxndr: ok in windows you can read the contents of your ubuntu boot cd? and you do see at boot the attempt to spin the cd to try to boot it? [02:34] Lxndr, Are you trying to boot from a USB drive? [02:35] ZykoticK9: how's he going to do that if it's locking root? [02:35] KM0201, locking root? I though it was package manager that was locked? [02:35] ZykoticK9: he's getting permission denied, because something has root locked(presumably a failed upgrade of some sort)... [02:35] ZykoticK9: you are right, KM is wrong [02:36] Lxndr, do you know the per session key prompt for a boot from menu [02:36] Guest18041: wrong about what? [02:36] Guest18041, ok [02:36] KM0201: you are wrong, root is not locked [02:36] ok. [02:36] KM0201: Apt was locked [02:36] ok. [02:36] nit-wit: I do! I've been doing that repeatedly, selecting 'CD' from the menu, and it still slides directly into the already-installed GRUB. [02:37] Lxndr, what is the key? [02:37] Addisonian: Lxndr: that could be maybe you could try the alternate cd, I'm sure it's not a 64bit install disk you try to install on a 32bit computer is it? [02:38] I need help debugging an atheros card, can someone help? [02:38] I am moving to linux from the windows world, can anyone recommend a good html/web site editor for jsp based stuff for ubuntu?

[02:40] Guest18041, glad to help [02:40] ZykoticK9: I am trying the upgrade again, this time in the commandline. [02:40] I am staying in ehre during it, just in case [02:41] ZykoticK9: It seems to be getting stuck at the same place as before. [02:42] Guest18041, what place is that? [02:42] ZykoticK9: it gets stuck at "Unpacking replacement chromium-browser-inspector ..." & stays at that indefanitly until I control C [02:42] I need help debugging an atheros card, can someone help? I', at a loss here, I don't really know what info to get and give you all x.x [02:43] Guest18041, sorry I don't have any suggestion for that. Are you using chromium-browser from default repo, or some PPA? [02:44] From the unstable PPA, & yes, yes I know, that means I am on my own as that is not supported :p [02:44] gartral: maybe try the linux-backports??wifi??? package [02:44] gartral: atheros is quite well supported it should work [02:45] ZykoticK9: From the unstable PPA, & yes, yes I know, that means I am on my own as that is not supported :p [02:45] right so i just solved multidisk misbehaving grub install thru chrooting from a live cd, awesome work; Jordan_U thanks a lot :) [02:45] hello all please someone help me how to change my default directory on proftpd [02:45] Guest18041, well, you could try disabling the PPA perhaps? Don't really know how you should proceed really. [02:45] sacarlson: that's what annoys me, it's a flyer card in ChromOS... but ubuntu it lags.... horribly [02:45] i tryed DefaultRoot ~/ ne7work, but nothing [02:46] ZykoticK9: Thanks for your help [02:46] gartral: oh I should ask if you are attempting to connect to an encrypted wpa access point? if so make sure to install or upgrade wpa-suplicant [02:46] ubottu: thanks for your attempt, but human's still trump machine.

I downloaded around 10GB of data onto a drive overnight last night, and I transferred it to another computer today and then deleted it, but the space does not seem to have been reclaimed. And I've searched for 'trash' folders and have found none [02:52] Hello? [02:52] Has anyone ran Dolphin on a PIV with an older NVidia Card w/ good results, or does one need a higher end processor/vid card? [02:53] edbian please help me [02:53] ne7work: sure... [02:53] ne7work: but you owe me one! [02:53] I have also run du on the drive to find out the amount of space the contents occupies, and it returned 1325701944, but when I run df it says I have used 1335751040 [02:53] so there is roughly a 10GB discrepancy [02:54] aerolite: you can try Applications>disk usage analizer to see where the space is being used, I guess that might be an added pacakge you may need to install [02:54] edbian I really pleased you how to change my default directory on proftpd DefaultRoot / ne7work or how? [02:54] Quick question: I have a video file that ends in .h264.mp4 will an xbox 360 play it? [02:54] aerolite: there are trash folders [02:54] Is that a GUI based tool?

[03:01] why cant i get ubuntu 10.10 to mount it [03:01] In fact, I am trying to mount a shared drive on my ubuntu server, but smbtree didn't found that share [03:01] ok so 'du' reports 1358GB usage, and 'df' reports 1368GB usage. So I have 1358GB of stuff on this drive, where does the other 10GB come from? this is driving me nuts [03:01] i did a "sudo modprobe sata_via" and i can then do a "sudo cat /proc/partitions" and it shows the 3 hard drives not just one [03:02] I have its IP and user/pass, there's some encoding issues though [03:02] aerolite: 5% is reserved for the root 'recovery' type tasks.. by default. [03:02] does anyone know how to get the vt6421a raid controller to work [03:02] the thing is, yesterday I had that space free, then last night I download 10GB of stuff and then deleted it [03:02] say my nick if you reply so i can spot it as im gonna try and google for it [03:02] sasquatch1: so a reset of the router box is not an option? the next step would be brute force hydra crack http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/ [03:02] aerolite: check your 'trash' perhaps.. [03:03] Is RM0201 still here? [03:03] sacarlson: thanks already looked into that, don't know the username though [03:03] I've searched every directory on my fs for folders named '*trash*' and found absolutely nothing :( [03:03] sasquatch1: use the default [03:03] sasquatch1: they never change the user in most routers [03:03] sacarlson: doesn't the new username and pass override the default factory username and pass? [03:04] sasquatch1: most just use user admin look up the part number of what you are loging into [03:04] sasquatch1: just google "default router users" there are lots of lists out there [03:05] Doyle: thanks [03:05] sacarlson: thanks [03:05] Anyone have any experience with RaLink wifi drivers for a netbook?

I appreciate your help anyways. I might be finding my way back to M$ here... :( [03:11] jsec, ooo I hope not [03:11] ZykoticK9: thank you, that is probably why when connected via sftp i cannot upload to the drwxr-xr-x right [03:11] jsec, I just got here ,, if you dont mind repeating the issue?

I know there are better skilled people here with wireless than me... however... if no one here can solve it you might want to scoot over to the ##linux channel...see if someone there has some suggestions [03:13] woohoo i figured out where that disk space went. in case anyone is curious, they were files i had downloaded via rtorrent, and I had deleted the files, but rtorrent still had a lock on them or something. went into rtorrent and deleted all the torrents, and the space is back! [03:14] http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/adding-users.html | frenk [03:14] info on ubuntu.com says update to 10.10 is as easy as pressin a button in the update manager, but in 10.4 there is none, in 9.10 there was, after update im stuck with 10.4, is that normal? [03:14] aerolite, oo cool ...yeah torrents can eat things up [03:14] does anyone know if there's some way for checking for situations like that? [03:14] where you have deleted files, but a process still has a lock on them so space is not reclaimed? [03:14] This may or may not be offtopic... I'm setting up an ubuntu lamp server for someone. What's the best way for them to run GUI apps off of it via a windows box? I just ssh -x into a box and fire up whatever that way, but I'm not sure the best way when a client box is windows [03:14] jsec: oh did you try the package linux-backports??wifi?? that sometimes fixes stuf like that [03:14] One or more items can’t be copied to “waynrdude.dipmap.com” because you don’t have permission to read them.

[03:16] jsec: is this the driver you downloaded? http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/ralink-rt3090-rt5390-pcie-wireless-lan-linux-driver-for-ubuntu-10-10.html [03:16] aerolite: take a look at lsof [03:16] ok will do, thanks!

[03:16] cyfgwin* [03:16] ffs [03:17] no one seems to know much about vt6421a raid card.......my friend has a mobo with no bios-raid but it has 2 (sata) ports....is there a way to get ubuntu to use those ports hard drives as one drive during INSTALL for like with mdadm [03:18] craigbass1976: another way is using webinterfaces if aplicable [03:18] vectory, I imagine anything that's installed. I know he wants to stream audio with it, but rather than fire up vlc via remote X, I was going to look for a command line player that would start when the server does [03:18] matrixa1, quakelive.com mentions nothing of a chromium plugin? Where are you getting it from? [03:19] craigbass1976: i suppose u wouldnt want to demand command line usage of a possibly less tech savy client [03:19] unix permissions do not make sense to me [03:19] vectory, I'd say he's a little better than "knows enough to be dangerous" [03:20] Hello, does anyone know where to find the Remote Desktop log file, for 10.10??

[03:22] sacarlson: that's what i just downloaded. now ra0 lists a lot more specs on the card, but i can't connect to a wireless network. [03:22] sacarlson: i was looking at that well, only concern, is it was supposedly made for ubuntu 8.04 [03:22] thas why i didn't recommend it [03:22] vectory: i am having an extremely hard time understanding why i cannot upload files to my sftp.....it keeps saying i do not have permission [03:22] ZykoticK9, i klick on the quakelive bar [03:22] jsec: did you try restarting after you installed it?

[03:40] Gnea: i dont wanna be k-lined lol [03:41] MrUnagi: did you compare the output of ls -l for both folders? [03:41] Addisonian: the only entries i am finding all have to do with this time that i have logged in, right now. I am looking for previous logins from other users on my remote desktop. [03:41] what more exactly does a sudo do-release-upgrade do? or... what's the actual difference between ubuntu versions? like between 9.10 and 10.04? except for package updates...

I think I'm going to try to go back to 10.04 and then try that driver [03:41] any option for ubuntu to turn off the monitor after X minutes of idle ? looked at the screensavers thing and doesn't look like it has anything like it [03:41] stefanoDuf20: really, any book for C is good, it depends on what style you prefer to learn with [03:42] stefanoDuf20: a good way to figure out which one is good is to go to your local public library and see what they have, most libraries tend to have at least a few on a shelf [03:42] vectory: i am so confused because if i set the permission to anything but root:root....i cannot sftp....if i chmod to anything but 755 i cannot connect [03:43] jacmieW, check System / Preferences / Power Management [03:43] ugh except now user1 can upload [03:43] I need help debugging an atheros card, can someone help? the lag is so bad im being dropped from freenode >.< [03:44] Gnea: well jsec said K&R, itaylor said cprogramming.com hmmm [03:44] MrUnagi: i bet u havent tried 'everything' ;) if u remove read permission, u cant connect ofc [03:45] vectory: it seems to be an issue with fuse...

[03:46] stefanoDuf20: they're both likely to work out well in tandem [03:46] jsec: thusly its old and partly outdated, still a mustread tho [03:46] is it possible that it is because i have restricted ssh access?

[03:48] yea i already met them :P but [03:48] are they 8 bytes?

[04:17] wont update just yet, heard its still buggy [04:17] linux_is_my_hero: cowon, sandisk, archos stuff would probably work, but most stop at 16GB or so + perhaps microsd slots [04:17] or you end up with tablets [04:18] what more exactly does a sudo do-release-upgrade do except for changing the version number? i'm running an ubuntu server :) [04:18] deww: how does ubuntu do with...dare i say...zune? [04:18] vectory, Do you think this is still valid? http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html [04:18] i wouldnt know [04:18] what would cause transfer speeds to be slower through permanent mount using fstab as apposed to book mark through connect to server?

[04:20] vectory: ok what i meant is " is there a utility command or something that will do that for me [04:20] Gparted, some space is reserved for kernel or stuff [04:20] Spirits-Sight, or, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set X11Forwarding to no.

I want to turn off the display (not monitor) but the display like u can do in nviae <-spelt wrong [04:21] back [04:21] keeps getting better [04:21] bluezone: any other high capacity players besides microsoft zune and apple ipod?

[04:23] linux_is_my_hero, bope, i don't use ipods so i wouldn't know [04:23] Im not silly I need help with copy/paste in [04:23] VMware, it's not working [04:23] Danielc1234 [04:23] needlez: ipod touch 64gb, and i'm having troulbe installing ifuse [04:23] Addisonian: do you get last post and if so did you understand it better [04:24] Danielc1234: what i meant was u need to be root to output there [04:24] HELP! I SCREWED UP MY ETC/SUDOERS AND NOW CANNOT LOGIN AS ROOT OR DO ANY SORT OF SUDO. WHAT CAN I DO?!?! [04:24] i think u r screwed [04:24] i don't have the -23 image on my machine [04:24] reload [04:24] sudo apt-get install ifuse [04:24] MBarvian1: had that too [04:24] just re-installed [04:24] vectory: what did you do? [04:24] installed with the -22 image, then updated to the -24\ [04:24] do it from terminal [04:24] bsmith093: when I set up this OS it never asked me for a root password, etc. just a user account and pass. How do I log in as root? [04:24] MBarvian1: load a livecd and chroot [04:24] vectory: goddamnit [04:24] vectory: alright thanks [04:24] kezef: ahh yea -23 is best kernel image for 10.10 [04:25] what would cause transfer speeds to be slower through permanent mount using fstab as apposed to book mark through connect to server? When I use the fstab connect I can only trasnfer at 1.8Mb to the other machine. When I do Connect to Server I get 7 or 8 MB transfers... any known issues? [04:25] Danielc1234: the pass u created thats the root pass [04:25] Danielc1234, There is no root password. [04:25] MBarvian1, Get to the grub menu on a reboot and go into recovery mode. That will let you fix /etc/sudoers [04:25] I tried to login as root and use the password, but no go. [04:25] what is the root password then? [04:25] Are there setting in putty for right and left click actions? I can't get Putty to copy or paste text [04:25] help [04:25] Danielc1234: sudo sh -c 'echo "console output" >> /etc/init.d/nginx' [04:25] Addisonian when i sudo i use the pasword i created for my acount and it owrks [04:26] Danielc1234: there is no root [04:26] Danielc1234: at least u cant access it [04:26] directly* [04:26] Danielc1234, You don't login as root on an Ubuntu system. You can make it possible by setting a root password. But, by default you cannot login as root. That is a security feature. [04:26] that is what I thought, but it is still getting Permission denied [04:26] scott_See: there are http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-mouse [04:27] bsmith093, That is how sudo works. So, you are normal. === albech_ is now known as albech [04:27] well how can I get away from this with my user account? [04:27] Linux_is_my_hero: what does it say when trying to install ifuse?? [04:27] mbrproblem10: my method of veno security is that I enable and disable it over ssh with gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false and gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true , [04:27] Danielc1234, Get away with what? [04:28] Peeps, when gnome loads up, I have no keyboard/touchpad access. I can't ctrl+alt+f1. Before gnome loads, I have keyboard access. Is there anything I can press to log into a shell so I can fix my stuff? [04:28] Lithrem, Try Ctrl+Alt+F2 [04:28] Addisonian: I am getting Permission denied even when using sudo. Cant I just set a administrator or something that I wont need to do this? [04:28] Addisonian: tried it. [04:29] Boot with a Knoppix CD, mount the drive and edit whatever you need to, litropy [04:29] mbrproblem10: If you real paranoid and need more security you can connect through ssh as shown here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=475839 [04:30] deww, I'm running Ubuntu under VMware and the mouse actions are not working [04:30] Danielc1234, I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish that you believe you need to be root for. [04:30] getting this......daniel@webserver2:~$ echo "console output" >> /etc/init.d/nginx -bash: /etc/init.d/nginx: Permission denied [04:30] Danielc1234: sudo sh -c 'echo "console output" >> /etc/init.d/nginx' [04:30] scott_See reboot the virtual machine, and make sure you allocated enough ram to it [04:30] Danielc1234: or sudo su -.- [04:30] scott_See, it may also be an issue that vmware (for some reason) isnt detecting your mouse [04:31] sacarlson: have you heard of vino being unsecure? I had a password protected and found someone else controling my desktop. Now that machine is no longer connected to any network. [04:31] scott_See: ok... and putty in ubuntu? (why?) [04:31] so I have to use sudo su when I get these errors? not just sudo [04:31] bluezone, Dynampis/Dynagen [04:31] Danielc1234, A normal way to do that is sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start [04:31] bluezone, Emulating Cisco [04:31] Danielc1234, You can't use redirection directly with sudo; instead, do 'echo "console output" | sudo tee /etc/init.d/nginx' to pipe the echo into tee and use the sudo on "tee" which will write. I'm not sure whether it will append or replace, though! [04:32] Danielc1234: because >> is a separate cmd [04:32] Addisonian: right that is what I did and still got permission error [04:32] sudo sh -c 'echo "console output" >> /etc/init.d/nginx' this worked. [04:33] deww, It's better then the default, what do you recomend? [04:33] I just right clicked and clicked "Synchronize" . How the heck do I stop this? [04:33] in my downloads === Look is now known as Guest96911 [04:33] Danielc1234, You say it worked. All it did was append some text to the file /etc/init.d/nginx [04:33] scott_See: it's not "native" and really ugly. maybe you can use something like minicom [04:34] I don't know NGINX. I don't know that it is a simple service to start. It may have dependancies. [04:34] for serisal stuff [04:35] I just right clicked and clicked "Synchronize" in my desktop and all the folders/files have red circles with white X bottom left of every corner . How the heck do I stop this? [04:35] would someone point me to the solution for making the backlit keyboard light up after boot on a toshiba satellite notebook with amd chips and running 10.04..thanks. [04:35] deww, I'll look into it. for the mean time I'm just trying to copy and paste some configuration files from one session to the other but the mouse and keyboard shortcuts aren't working.. [04:36] hi everybody, i have deleted some video files on ext3 partition and i know some knowledge of recovering deleted files using photorec but the file names are lost using that method; i also know something about 'ntfsundelete' and i'm able to recover the files with the original name using this app but it only works for ntfs file systems, is there any way i can recover the files from ext3 with the original file names? [04:36] scott_See: can you use the terminal emulator that cmes with ubuntu? [04:37] deww, I can.. It doesn't work either.. I think the problem is with VMware. [04:37] If I rename 30_os-proberto 09_os-prober in /etc/grub.d, will subsequent os updates try to restore 30_os_prober? [04:38] does anyone remember how to find the fastest server to download packages from? i used the gui method with update manager but the speeds are still terrible :S [04:39] scott_See: scp the files over or use netcat http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/11/06/netcat-a-couple-of-useful-examples/ [04:40] bluezone, Just pick the one closest to Australia. [04:40] What do the letters »ldd« stand for in the command-line command 'ldd'? "load dependencies"? Synaptic: "A utility program related to the GNU C Library: print shared library dependencies." [04:41] Well, lets say that someone had Remote Desktop access to my ubuntu 10.10 for a unknown amount of time. I was also checking in on the machine and saw nothing unusual from my client. How do i tell if my ubunto 10.10 install is no longer secure? [04:41] Addisonian, joke? [04:41] [ [04:41] I just right clicked and clicked "Synchronize" in my desktop and all the folders/files have red circles with white X bottom left of every corner . How the heck do I stop this? [04:41] p [04:41] bluezone, that is the fastest for me, since you will no longer compete with me for the server. A weak joke, but yes.

[04:42] p [04:43] sacarlson: i am reading it now. [04:43] where is /etc/inittab [04:43] so i installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 to a usb stick. whenever i connect to a wifi network it locks up instantly. it's an atheros ar9285 chipset. any other people with this issue? [04:44] Addisonian, i have 10 canadian servers to choose from, each time i use "choose best" it picks a different option, ive tested about 3 now and they are all giving me slow speeds. I remember a plugin that would automatically choose the best one, now i don't remember what it is called [04:44] randy__, It is on Fedora systems [04:44] Addisonian, but the lpi 101 rest said it has this file [04:44] keith-, define locks up please [04:45] mbrproblem10: to add security on ssh change the listen port to something other than port 22 [04:45] Danielc1234: the modification of /etc/init.d/nginx you committed is benign (if you run maverick), but i don't know how it interacts with package management. i suggest you undo the change. [04:45] randy__, All systems used to have it. That is no longer true. [04:45] bluezone: it completely freezes. the mouse doesn't move, i can't use the keyboard, and if the pointer is the circle thingk, it doesn't spin anymore. after a bit the screen has gone to black once and to all purple once and just stayed on the current screen frozen once. everytime it has to do with the wifi though [04:46] sacarlson: yeah, next time I go away, I will be using VNC over ssh and I will change the port. Currently, I need to figure out how to tell if my machine is compromized. I have already changed all of my important passwords, I am trying to decide if i need to do a clean wipe and reinstall of 10.10 [04:46] bluezone, I just always take the default. Sometimes it is slow, but I don't usually care about the update speed. Is there a reason it matters, or are you impatient? [04:46] Addisonian, does ubuntu have run level? [04:46] Addisonian, i don't like 27 kBps [04:47] keith-, you said your running it off a usb stick right? [04:47] bluezone: indeed. was wanting to test this netbook edition out before i installed it. [04:48] mbrproblem10: what makes you think it's compromized? [04:48] how do I disable ipv6? I tried modifying /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, but it doesn;t work [04:49] sacarlson: someone was controling my computer via VNC. [04:49] keith-, i would try a different usb stick, or try deleting and redownloading the edition and burning it at a low speed with descent software [04:49] keith-, otherwise i don't know what could be causing that [04:49] mbrproblem10: oh ok, and what account was it? a sudo user? [04:49] ... good question. [04:50] sacarlson what ever default account ubuntu 10.10 has you create. [04:50] bluezone: it runs fine until i try to connect to wifi. seems odd that the usb stick has one weird bit. also... it's not really burnt. it's a usb stick not a dvd [04:50] mbrproblem10: well with only one account it must be sudo'ed [04:50] Addisonian, do you any test about linux is new [04:50] hi everybody, i have deleted some video files on ext3 partition and i know some knowledge of recovering deleted files using photorec but the file names are lost using that method; i also know something about 'ntfsundelete' and i'm able to recover the files with the original name using this app but it only works for ntfs file systems, is there any way i can recover the files from ext3 with the original file names? === randy__ is now known as randy_ [04:51] sacarlson: well if it helps, i always have to sudo anything when i am at the command prompt. [04:51] sacarlson: I know that occasionally after I sudo, a key appears as an icon in one of the task panals... but this icon is not normally there. [04:51] randy_, Ubuntu has runlevels, but they are different than redhats. I don't understand your last question. [04:51] mbrproblem10: if you know the date and time of the attack you could do a find that searches for files modified after that window of attack [04:52] hi [04:52] mbrproblem10: also you can look at logs for /etc/var/auth.log to see if sudo was accesed in that window of time [04:52] ok [04:53] 1001010001000011111011 [04:53] 100110101 [04:53] hello room :) [04:53] ok [04:53] sacarlson: I turned the server on and have been gone for the last 5 days. :< During my VNC sessions I did occasionally see "someone else is controlling the computer" but i assumed they ment Me. But today while i was local to my machine, I still had The server running and i got that message and someone really did start controling my computer. [04:53] anyone in here that might be able to help me with a packaging issue? [04:54] hi [04:54] mbrproblem10: cool can you see what Ip address it was?

[04:57] Addisonian, ok,thank you [04:57] randy_, The inittab file was used by the old init system. That is gone on many distros now. Ubuntu uses Upstart. I understand Upstart is only an interim solution, but that is by no means official.

[04:59] Addisonian, because in china the certifications information is very little,so I ask here [04:59] glitchd: Many people here know something about graphics drivers. Please put a more concrete queestion here in this channel. [04:59] sorry, accidentally closed the x-irc window [05:00] randy_, I think there are certifications for Ubuntu or Debian. I am just not a good person to ask. Try google. [05:00] can someone help? I try to do a ./configure for a program but get permission denied [05:01] Addisonian, thank you very much,because even I konw spell certifications [05:01] Hi! [05:01] anyone here?

[05:12] i submitted this one around a week ago [05:13] wolfric: depends on the package (and who looks after it, if anyone), the bug type, and whether anyone wants to work on it.

[05:14] rww: well it's simply adding in a package that's left out from the aircrack suite. I take it it requires a developer to submit the additional packages and we can only request them right? [05:14] needlez, im trying to install my graphics driver and i keep getting that error msg. [05:14] I just right clicked and clicked "Synchronize" in my desktop and all the folders/files have red circles with white X bottom left of every corner . How the heck do I stop this? [05:15] wolfric. I submitted ne. A month later a reply was posted that asked me to do something impossible and then the bug was closed. So, bugs don't always get worked out. My case was unusual, though. [05:15] wolfric: or package it yourself and add it to the sponsorship queue. [05:15] glitchd: what graphics card is it and what driver package are you trying to install?? [05:15] rww: any guides on packaging and on sponsorship queue? [05:16] needlez, now im not exactly sure what card i have, but im trying to install the ati/amd proprietary FGLRX graphics driver so i can have desktop effects [05:16] wolfric: no, that's outside of my area of knowledge. #ubuntu-motu might know. [05:16] rww: whats motu? [05:16] or ubottu, maybe [05:16] !sponsorship [05:16] !motu [05:16] motu is short for Masters of the Universe.

[05:43] Buddha-Dharma: lsb_release -a [05:43] ok [05:43] this thing all started when i tried to turn my window screen transparent [05:43] Buddha-Dharma, You are stuck. There is no upgrade from 8.10 anymore. [05:43] booted? I go to Transmission, Pidgeon, x Chat, Firefox [05:43] lik I always do [05:43] Don't think that's relavant [05:43] ok.. suggestion? [05:43] Addisonian: sure there is, we have instructions for it. It just isn't supported. [05:43] !eol | Buddha-Dharma [05:43] Buddha-Dharma: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [05:44] OrangePeel: ok so since you say downloads maybe you were in transmission? [05:44] rww, good. I'll see if I can find him a pointer. [05:44] Buddha-Dharma I think you will want to install a newer version of Ubuntu [05:44] also, [05:44] I wasn't using it but it was on ys [05:44] !dist-upgrade | Addisonian [05:44] Addisonian: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [05:44] ok [05:44] Addisonian: See the EOLUpgrades page ubottu mentioned ;) [05:45] So I have a question. I have a comaq nc8430 which has 3 mouse buttons built in with the touchpad. The middle one does not work (it registers as a left click). Can I use lenovo "solutions" to try and fix this, or is this something that needs specialization. I've tried adding specific lines to my xorg file, but nothing works. [05:45] Hello [05:45] Hello, I am having problems with my wireless card. After I installed a proprietary driver, and after I type "sudo modprobe r8192ce_pci", the card works perfectly. Until I reboot, and then I have to do the whole process over again. Thoughts? [05:45] I don't want to but am probably going to have to pay someone to get my stuff back [05:46] What do you mean, orange peel? [05:46] sacarlson, something about Ubuntu One went on where it startd acting funny after I right click and clicked on Syncronize [05:46] In 10.10 how do I tell it to use the windows key as the shortcut for opening the menu ? when i go into shortcuts select the option and press the windows key nothing happens on my other computers they switch to super_L but on this laptop its not registering the command [05:47] OrangePeel: I looked in transmision I still don't see Properties > Permissions > Folder Acces, so I'm clueless [05:47] No [05:47] Buddha-Dharma, See the page at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid [05:47] no sacarlson [05:47] wow my terminal refuse to excute [05:47] lwizardl, for Windows key, you have to edit the keyboard shortcut config directly [05:47] In Downloads, the folder downloads, next to Music/Pictures ..... I right clicked the background [05:47] lwizardl, like with gconf-editor or gconftool [05:47] and than went to properties permissions [05:48] I'll try to answer any questions you have, but that seems to give you the information, Buddha-Dharma [05:48] hmmm [05:48] OrangePeel: ok I found it, you were in nautilus [05:48] Not sure what that is but ok [05:48] if I hae to I will literally pay somone to get my files back [05:48] THeyre still on the omputer [05:48] computer [05:48] does rsync require something to be running on the remote system other than SSH ? [05:48] OrangePeel: that's the filemanager you might have used in Places on top of your screen [05:49] yes [05:49] needlez, you are the man my frjend. the f'n man. [05:49] lwizardl, eh wait. for "menu" you mean the main menu in the panel? which default to Alt-F1 ? [05:49] needlez, it works [05:49] needlez, i have wobbly windows n such now [05:49] OrangePeel: so did you try look in trash?

Debian Lenny displays fine [05:50] glitchd: np and if it happens again just remember what you did to fix it...if not just look for me in here... [05:51] OrangePeel: View>hiden files [05:51] imagine the files just disapeared, disregard it could be a user mistake and u have some serious bg there [05:51] OrangePeel: ctrl+h [05:51] Nothing [05:51] OrangePeel, Do you know the name of any of the files? If so, try using find to see where they are(assuming they are to be found) [05:51] ther's 0 files in my folder now [05:51] glitchd: thats sad... well if I'm ever in this channel look for me or just type my nick in and see if im on if i am ill try to help anyway i can [05:51] Yeah [05:51] needlez, well truth be told, i have a memory of a goldfish, so i will for sure be looking for u again if it happes [05:51] Let me try that Addisonian [05:51] 1 sec sacarlson Addisonian [05:51] OrangePeel: do you know any file names in the directory you lost? [05:51] lwizardl, issue this command : gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L" [05:52] needlez, that is very much appreciated, thank you very much [05:52] glitchd: kk [05:52] icarus-c, command not found [05:52] glitchd: np your welcome [05:52] already did that same google search before joining [05:52] OrangePeel, for the widest search, do it as a sudo command and start in the root directory. [05:52] needlez, okie dokie, im outta here then take it easy bud [05:52] lwizardl, are you using GNOME? [05:52] OrangePeel, are you a painter for cars? [05:52] glitchd: you too peace [05:52] icarus-c, yes [05:52] No lwizardl why [05:53] What's the command in sudo Addisonian [05:53] I mean Terminal [05:53] lwizardl: good one [05:53] c.quakenet.org [05:53] OrangePeel, the name you are using is a term for a issue with paint oversprays on automobiles [05:53] lwizardl, do you have gconf-editor ? [05:53] OrangePeel, sudo find / -name exactfilename [05:53] but opn trminal in root right Addisonian ? [05:53] icarus-c, yes [05:53] lwizardl: it's also the name of a can of wall texture... [05:54] terminal [05:54] how do u save change in vim ? [05:54] Spirits-Sight: :wq [05:54] lwizardl, well you could use gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu and change its value to Super_L [05:54] thanks [05:54] Spirits-Sight: well, that saves and quits... [05:54] my background refuse to chnage heeelllpppp!!!! [05:55] OrangePeel, Or put what you know in quotes sudo find / -name "fastcar*.jpg" There is no need to run this in a root terminal. That is why I used sudo. [05:55] icarus-c, that worked thanks [05:55] jonthue: ok whats the issue?? [05:55] jonthue, Are you running the ntbook remix? [05:56] all i get is white screen and when i try to change the desktop background it turns black [05:56] no [05:56] jonthue, netbook remix, that is [05:56] its desktop [05:56] Addisonian: OrangePeel: I assume he wan't sudo when he was in nuatilus, you could have him just try start search at ~/ [05:57] whats the name of the old scanner package that was included with ubuntu from like 9.10 and past. this new simple scan application sucks i tell it to crop from x+y and it just crops to x so i have to manually edit each page in gimp. [05:57] it's searching now d [05:57] now ddis [05:57] jonthue, a white background is not the default for Ubuntu. That sounds like some maximized program. [05:57] I thought it was sane but after installing it thats not it [05:57] lwizardl, xsane? [05:57] Searching now Addisonian but nothing is happening, just blinking box in trminal [05:58] after i typed in password [05:58] i'll try that [05:58] jonthue: is it 10.10 that your running?? and what way are you trying to change the background?? thru the desktop change or thru someother way?? [05:58] literally its stuck on white screen and i only see my pic after i click yes to log off [05:58] sacarlson, He could start there. I would. But, if it fails, he should go on to search the drive. If that fails, the files are gone. [05:58] also how can I get add-apt-repository to work? its saying "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found" [05:58] jonthue: have you checked to make sure your drivers for your graphics card are installed?? [05:59] icarus-c, yes that was it thanks again [05:59] Spirits-Sight: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:59] yes [05:59] OrangePeel: Addisonian: agreeed if fails to find in ~/ then widen the search [05:59] I've always wondered, how do you go about "uninstalling" something from linux, if you've forgotten what all has been installed? for example, i think i installed asterisk-gui at some point, but have since lost the makefile i used to install (so i can't do a "make clean"). don't remember which version, etc. [05:59] it all began to act up after installng sudo apt-get install murrine-themes [05:59] rww: its 10.04 server [05:59] with out x [05:59] "locate" is handy for searching too [05:59] Spirits-Sight, just edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor. Be careful, though. Backup before editing is prudent. [05:59] sudo find / -name How to go out of your mind - Th LSD crisis.avi [05:59] I typd in [05:59] Spirits-Sight: install the python-software-properties package, that should get you it. [06:00] they say it has some bugs but i didnt know it would be this nasty [06:00] OrangePeel: OWWW [06:00] OrangePeel, That has spaces in the name You need to put quotes around it. [06:00] ok what about [06:00] ok [06:00] Spaces are ok though ? [06:00] jonthue: hmm they say what has some bugs?? ubuntu 10.10 or your graphics driver?? [06:01] yes\ spaces\ are\ just\ fine [06:01] OrangePeel: maybe try cd ; find . -name "*.avi" [06:01] OrangePeel, I don't like spaces in the name. So, it depends on what you mean by OK. [06:02] To search for a filename with spaces in it with find, you need to put quotes, OrangePeel [06:02] Addisonian: how do I install a key then, I already edited the sources.list file but not it yells because there is no key installed I guess [06:02] Spirits-Sight, There is a way. I do it rarely enough that I need to look it p.

I cant boot to Ubuntu [06:10] oh no [06:10] I currently have a desktop running Windows 7. I want to install Ubuntu on a separate hdd and be able to boot either 7 or Ubuntu. Installation-wise, are there any important differences between doing this and installing 7 + Ubuntu on the same hdd? [06:10] Am I going to have to take my computer in ? [06:10] 双系统？ [06:11] i can [06:11] Like I said, I have money, I will send it if you can find the solution [06:11] piercedwater, There are several strategies available. You can ssh to the machine and edit the xorg.conf file. [06:11] OrangePeel: so lets look at what is returned from ls -l -d ./Downloads [06:11] Addisonian: good call. what part do I need to edit?

[06:12] OrangePeel: try sudo ls -l -d ./Downloads [06:12] nharmata: you could do it either way, if you have enough big HDD you can install them on same disk but separate partitions [06:12] piercedwater, It depends on your system. That is not where I would start. I'd probably edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg(or menu.lst) first. That may get you to the login screen.

[06:17] sacarlson, I clickdon properties in desktop and it says I still have 1,511 files in here [06:18] but there's 0 files being shown [06:18] Addisonian: Well, if so, why does Sound Juicer complain: "Sound Juicer could not read in the title list of this CD.

[06:24] bullgard, You are assuming that Sound Juicer reads the title list from the CD. I don't use Sound Juicer, but most rippers work by getting the length of all the songs and looking up in the freedb database. Your error seems to indicate a more basic problem, in that the CD cannot be read. [06:24] sanjoy, how did you attempt to install stuff? [06:24] terminal [06:24] Hi I am using xubuntu and I have a question about sound [06:24] OrangePeel: I assume your fixed, you found your files, what did the ls -l show you? [06:24] what is the code to install rar software ? [06:25] Th list of my files on terminal [06:25] but they're not shown in Desktop [06:25] piercedwater, Am I correct in that you don't even see the login prompt? Did you set it to automatically login? [06:25] OrangePeel: the ls -l will tell us why show one file line [06:25] Addisonian: no login prompt, just a black screen. i didnt check anything to auto login [06:25] Hiiiiiiii [06:25] @Orange, are you on KDE? [06:26] Not sure what that is Haraken [06:26] Harsh_Kumar, [06:26] Ovz, HI [06:26] Does anyone know how to know if you have a soundcard instualled on xubuntu [06:26] piercedwater, Just a moment. I have to look up something. [06:26] sanjoy, apt-get install unrar ? [06:26] drawmeat, humm try lspci? [06:26] u can use ark too [06:26] sanjoy, or do it in software center or synaptic [06:26] no it showed all th torrents that 'are' 'were' in thre sacarlson [06:27] not torrents [06:27] files****** [06:27] hh [06:27] heh [06:27] Addisonian: What I wrote was the output of an error message. Not my personal guess. -- Is the "freedb database" a website, or where is it to be found? [06:27] OrangePeel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:27] bluezone, do I type that in terminal? [06:27] what is the name? [06:27] unrar ?? [06:27] drawmeat, yeah [06:28] Addisonian: This very audio CD can be played on another Ubuntu computer using VLC. [06:28] bullgard, Yes freedb is a database available over the internet. [06:28] @sanjoy: sudo apt-get install unrar [06:28] bullgard, OK. That demonstrates less than you think. [06:28] sanjoy, please read the instructions given carefully. [06:29] OrangePeel: so the sudo ls -l doen't show the files you were looking for? [06:29] thank you all ^_^ [06:29] bluezone, i typed it in.. i'm pretty noob at xumbuntu i got the results, is there one in particular i should be looking for? [06:29] drawmeat, if your sound card is detected it should be there, i must go now though :) [06:29] my rar file is open now [06:29] bye [06:29] Addisonian: Im trying to get to a shell right now so I can edit the conf file [06:29] It does, but thy're still not in Downloads [06:29] I don't know where thy are.

That demonstrates less than you think." conveys little information to me. You did not even outline the subject of your statement well enough. [06:35] OrangePeel: then it should be seen from Places>home folder click on Downloads you should see it [06:35] piercedwater, So, you are getting this blank screen from the install disk, right? [06:35] nothing sacarlson [06:36] @pierce...: press ctrl+alt+F2 [06:36] Addisonian: no, from the hdd install. but im booting from the install cd to try and get to a command prompt [06:36] bullgard, I was working on something else at the time. The fact that a CD plays on one machine does not guarantee it will play on another. [06:36] Harsh_Kumar, I wouldn't recommend that, not without telling the user how to get back to GUI after that which is Ctrl+Alt+F7 [06:36] OrangePeel: well try in that dir you cd'ed into chmod 777 * [06:37] Addisonian: ok i got to a shell [06:37] bullgard, Is this a pressed CD(A commercially bought normal CD) Or is it one that was burned by someone? [06:38] What's that command of chmod 777 again sacarlson [06:38] Will save it now [06:38] Addisonian: I am speaking about a pressed CD. It is a commercially bought normal CD. [06:38] i've got an old linux server running as my main router/firewall. just got a new machine in to migrate it to. any suggestions how to mirror the system? old hardware is about 10 years old. new one is modern. the old one is running ubuntu server 8.04.02. my plan is to install 8.04.04 onto the new one, then tar everything from the old one, and untar on the new one. good/bad idea? any better way? [06:38] piercedwater, I need an aswer to that last question first. Is this a boot of the Ubuntu install CD where you are getting this blank screen? [06:38] OrangePeel: chmod 777 * changes permisions so all users can see and exec files in that dir [06:39] Addisonian: When I try to boot from a hdd that has ubuntu 10.04 installed I get a blank screen. I just booted from the install cd and got to a command prompt [06:39] OrangePeel: if you need more details see man chmod [06:39] sacarlson, can I PM? [06:39] OrangePeel: yes [06:40] ty Harsh_Kumar [06:40] bullgard, Then the odds are much better that any CD drive can read it. First, try another CD in the system that is giving you the problem. Another music CD that is. Not another drive. [06:40] Hi all; is there a fix for "error probing smb1" while booting up? Ubuntu 10.04 [06:41] piercedwater, OK. what do you remember about the hard drive layout on your computer? We need to mount the partition containing /boot. [06:42] that is error with nforce smbus mekos [06:42] Addisonian: Ill get to it. hang on [06:42] you have an nforce chipset? [06:43] stealthc: nVidia [06:44] Addisonian: I have tried in the past several times to play other commercially pressed audio CDs on this CD/DVD drive using Sound Juicer under Maverick . The results were similar. The error messages varied sometimes slightly. [06:44] stealthc: everything seems to work - just get the error on boot. Am I missing something? [06:44] whats the best program to use for ftp? [06:44] chd: Places -> Connect to Server... [06:44] lol nice [06:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/440470 [06:45] Addisonian: I found it. Now what [06:45] stealthc: thanks [06:45] can I use that for sftp rww? [06:46] look for acpi_enforce_resources=lax [06:46] I believe adding that to your init files fixes it [06:46] hey all, quick noob question.... how do i satisfy smb4k into making a directory once i try to mount it? [06:46] bullgard, I would try another program. The one I liked best is no longer in the repositories. So, install RipperX and see how it does. Even if you don't want to use it long term, it will help diagnose. It uses the paranoia ripper library, which is pretty good. [06:47] chd: yes, choose SSH in the dropdown box [06:47] im basically tryin to setup for ubuntu to auto mount my smb:// (nework drive) [06:47] piercedwater, "I found it" has no relation to my question. [06:47] chd: I a sense: Enter in Nautilus' input line: 'sftp://@/path/to/computername'. [06:47] Addisonian: I have located the mount "/boot" [06:49] ive been all through fstab... for some reason, i can navigate all through the network but once i get to the drive im trying to access it just says, "unable to mount location failed to mount windows share" [06:49] piercedwater, There is a /boot on the live CD. From your statement, I presume you are looking at it. I am asking about the hard drive. [06:49] okay, on looking at my resolv.conf for trying to figure out why Ubuntu can't load update info, it looks like it's looking up my wireless router, it says "# Generated by NetworkManager [06:49] domain Belkin;search Belkin;nameserver 192.168.2.1" where ":" is a line break. [06:50] Addisonian: I am in a shell that has the file system from my hdd with the mount /boot on it [06:50] is that possibly a problem? or does that look right? [06:50] What partitions are on the hard drive, piercedwater ? Try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [06:50] anyone know? [06:51] Addisonian: sda1 - the one with "/boot" on it sda2 - "Extended" and sda5 - "swap" [06:51] the ISP my family uses is Comcast. [06:51] does anyone know how to get Chrome to open ed2k:// links in amule? [06:51] anyone? [06:52] Addisonian: Thank you for your advice. [06:53] does anyine know of a soft phone dialer for empathy [06:53] from what i've gathered, may be wrong though, is my laptop is looking up my family's Router, gathered that from /etc/resolv.conf. [06:53] piercedwater, OK, lets try it. Be very careful.. We're hunting rabbits. sudo mkdir /media/sda2; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 [06:53] hey all, im needing a little help with mounting windows shares... [06:54] Addisonian: It said I need to specify a filesystem [06:54] piercedwater, you may need to specify the filesystem type. Try it the way I gave it to you first. [06:55] Addisonian: It said I need to specify a filesystem [06:55] Did you use the default of ext4? [06:55] anyone know? and should I copy over the contents of resolv.conf? before I was getting a "Failed to download repository information" and hence am unable to update, i've been trying all day. [06:55] Addisonian: no, i will try it with that [06:56] anyone???? [06:56] piercedwater, I mean when you installed the system. If so, you need to add -t ext4 [06:56] piercedwater, sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 [06:57] First. I just right clicked and clicked "Synchronize" in my Downloads and all the folders/files have red circles with white X bottom left of every corner. How do I get rid of this, this is what it looks like. http://img844.imageshack.us/i/screenshotbi.png/How do I remove a folder from UbuntuOne Cload. An entire folder is synced to Ubuntu one. [06:57] oops [06:57] Addisonian: when i type "mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /media/sda2" I get a "Wrong fs type rror" [06:57] How do I remove a folder from UbuntuOne Cload. An entire folder is synced to Ubuntu one. [06:58] anyone know? [06:59] cody [06:59] yes?

[07:00] cody, what is the error you are getting? [07:00] gimme a sec [07:00] piercedwater, It may be another filesystem type. I am hesitant to proceed by IRC. Can we talk by phone? I am not going to do anything to charge you. [07:01] Hi, I am looking for simple editor can support compare and multi languages on Ubuntu. Any advice? [07:01] Addisonian: sure [07:01] gimix, multi programming languages? or natural languages? [07:02] piercedwater, Can I pm you? [07:02] and support java language [07:02] W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'extras.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) [07:02] , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[07:02] cody thats due to network cannot resolve hostname [07:03] rs0832: let me see [07:03] gimix, and you can add plugins for more languages, i think [07:03] other than updates and caches, yes, it works, but without a cache update, I can't install some updates.

[07:06] How do I remove a folder from UbuntuOne Cload. An entire folder is synced to Ubuntu one. [07:06] linx_hacks: skype is already in ubuntu repos though [07:06] cody, can you paste if while you're at it? (paste.ubuntu.com [07:06] !info skype [07:06] Package skype does not exist in maverick [07:06] it's not ubuntu.. its Trisequel which build on top of ubuntu 10.04 [07:07] linx_hacks: unofficial derivatives, like Trisequel, aren't supported here. [07:07] but is it possible to know the general procedure? [07:07] paste what? the file? [07:07] cody, the text from the file [07:08] ah, kk [07:08] linx_hacks, you may find skype .deb at packages.ubuntu.com [07:08] linx_hacks, but i m afraid we can't provide support beyond that [07:09] skype is not in Ubuntu's repositories, and never has been.

[07:10] thanks [07:10] rww, oh.. i wonder how i got it installed from synaptic on 10.10.. [07:10] you want the link to the paste? [07:10] rs0832: It was in Canonical's Partner repository at some point. [07:10] rww, ah maybe cause i enabled all the repos :) [07:10] I need too rebind right click.. how would i do that? [07:10] cody, yes [07:11] maybe still is, I haven't checked [07:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/548450/ [07:11] rww, i think so (got it installed :) [07:11] any folder name which starts with (dot)(filename) considered as hidden folder in linux? [07:12] linx_hacks: yes [07:13] how to create a hidden folder from terminal? [07:13] cody, you might try changing your server to the main server from software sources [07:13] Hey, I have a problem with the gnome menu Ubuntu 10.10 - despite changing some entries (unchecking there visibility) and installing new packages, the menu doesn't change at all. [07:13] linx_hacks: mkdir /path/to/.folder [07:13] @linkx_hacks: just start the folder name with a dot (.) [07:13] i'll do that. [07:13] cody, and uncomment this line # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner and save the file [07:14] gartral: Is that conventions are standard as part of GNOME or linux specifications? [07:14] linx_hacks: no, that's unix conventions [07:14] linx_hacks: deeper than genome [07:14] linx_hacks: and genome adheres to them, as well [07:14] okie doke. [07:14] gartral, genome? [07:15] rs0832: He meant GNOME. [07:15] rystraum, :) [07:15] ChristianAdamski, this might sound stupid, but does it still stay the same after logout/login? [07:15] yep [07:15] rs0832 rystraum i have a typo correction >.< [07:15] could the menu be cached somewhere? [07:15] gartral, no problem :) [07:16] I have a .bin file, how can I make sure the bin file copies executables in /bin folder and libraries under /usr/lib folder? [07:16] I need too rebind right click.. how would i do that? [07:17] ChristianAdamski, hmm i dunno [07:17] ChristianAdamski, hmm [07:17] I also need too resetup my mouse [07:17] you could try deleting the settings file in ~/.config/menus/applications.menu [07:17] and see if that makes a difference [07:17] (or maybe move it instead of deleting :) ) [07:18] ChristianAdamski, you can also try creating another panel, right click on it, select add to panel and select 'gnome menu' and see if it happens there too [07:18] trying [07:18] I have a .bin file, how can I make sure the bin file copies executables in /bin folder and libraries under /usr/lib folder? [07:18] how do i edit the sources.lst? [07:19] cody, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal [07:19] kk [07:19] cody, i'd recommend using the Software Sources properties app if you're not comfy with text editors [07:20] soreau: long time no see friend... would you happen to know how i can permantly mount a windows share??? im soooo stumped! :X [07:20] ChristianAdamski: Make sure all the files (at least the ones in .config and .local) are owned by your user. ''find ~ ! -user "$USER" -ls'' will print any files in your homedir not owned by you. [07:20] How do I remove a folder from UbuntuOne Cload. An entire folder is synced to Ubuntu one. [07:20] geirha, good thinking [07:21] hello everyone. can i have the link for compatibilities and ubuntu? i just got a lenovo thinkpad t61 series with NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M except it has win vista... [07:21] OrangePeel: if you haven't already, #ubuntuone might be more helpful. [07:21] nah, i got text editors down, just needed control of the file.... [07:21] @linx_hacks: you want the .bin file to contain the same binaries as in /bin and /usr/lib? [07:21] .bin folder* [07:21] zus, try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [07:21] thanks rww [07:22] rystram: If I execute like ./ its extracting all the jars and executables in the same directory [07:22] would ANYONE know how to go about accessing/mounting/automounting at boot,,, a windows share? [07:22] rather I want executables to be in /bin folder and jars/libraries under /usr/lib folder [07:22] rs0832, thank you,.... [07:22] zus, :) [07:22] zus: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Lenovo/laptops/ looks promising. [07:23] Всем ку! а что только на английском разговор идет? [07:23] geirha, i seen that the other night...but i just got this machine [07:23] twiztid: Try smbfs [07:23] what is the best pdf viewer on ubuntu 9.10? [07:23] @linx_hacks: If I understood your problem correctly, then it has to be a shell script which extracts the jar file, gets all the binaries and moves/copies them to /bin, and copies/moves the jars/libraries to /usr/lib [07:24] !ru | Acidburn1986 [07:24] Acidburn1986: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:24] rystraum: exactly [07:24] twiztid, maybe you can do it in an upstart task? [07:24] @linx_hacks: So.. a shell script would do what you need. [07:24] geirha, its less than a year old and a hand me down,..the prices look nice too. thanks as well. [07:24] brb [07:24] reddyweb, i like evince [07:24] twiztid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [07:25] so after I extract .bin file, I need to write a shell script myself to do that? [07:25] zus: Well, it says it works with Ubuntu 8.04 at least. Why it doesn't list 10.04 and 10.10 I don't know, but it may meen you need to do some tweaking to get it working fully. [07:25] soreau: thats what ive been working with and if i navigate through the network and try to access the shared drive, i get, "unable to mount location. failed to mount Windows share" [07:26] soreau: and ive been working off the same link you posted... [07:26] I have a usb device which I am capturing data in minicom just fine. I would like to see a graphical representation of the data in real time. Any suggestions??? [07:26] @linx_hacks: Well, it's one of the possible solutions. But I can't really provide the proper solution without any more ideas what the .bin file is supposed to contain, what's it's structure, how often would you need to do this kind of operations and so on. [07:27] soreau: i ran the grep $USERNAME /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3 command but im lost... would you be able to help with watever im doin wrong? [07:27] chiques: 3 questionmarks in a row are 2 too much in this channel. [07:27] its a jdk_1.6.21 it contains bin,lib,ext,endorsed like folders.. where as bin contains executables and all other should go to libraries [07:27] bullgard, sorry [07:28] soreau: i b a r e l y got it this morning but it screwed up mu sudoers [07:28] bullgard, I'm just a bit stumped right now [07:28] geirha, i see, hmm so if the live disc works then should a full install work then? [07:28] Hello, everyone, I have a problem. [07:28] Ahhh. Then why not just change the $PATH and $LIBS to point to the bin and lib respectively? [07:28] I can't use wine make a boot diskette. I made a floppy image file, mount it. Then set floppy driver to wine, it can browse, copy file. But when I use Exe file, they said: Aborted or can't find any floppy disk. [07:28] twiztid: I am not too familiar with using samba [07:29] 错误 http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main Sources [07:29] 404 Not Found [07:29] 错误 http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main i386 Packages [07:29] 404 Not Found [07:29] 错误 http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main Sources [07:29] longgege: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:29] 404 Not Found [07:29] zus: Yes, that's a good test, boot the live CD and test everything you can, like audio and video playback etc. I think there's even a test-utility in the System menu. [07:29] what's the problem? [07:29] what is a good telnet program for ubuntu other than putty [07:30] @ubuntu` : telnet in the terminal? [07:30] ubuntu`: umm....telnet? [07:30] ryanakca, good meaning good gui [07:30] doesn't look like it changed the outcome. uncommenting the line and switching servers. [07:31] cody, hmm did you add any repositories lately? [07:31] nope. [07:31] soreau: damn, well maybe the fact that i have two folders in the same spot, one called "shareddocs" and the other called "slave"... i can access the shareddocs folder perfectly!!! but once i click on slave, "unable to mount location. failed to mount Windows share" [07:31] i just installed today. [07:31] ciao [07:31] the OS [07:31] hai, longgege. I need a dos boot diskette to recover bios, A old hp laptop bios. But I can't use wine make a boot diskette. [07:31] ubuntu`: gnome-terminal + telnet ? [07:31] cody, k [07:31] vasi: upstart task? like a startup.bat? [07:32] twiztid, kinda....upstart manages the init sequence in ubuntu [07:32] NeoKipling: Do you have a floppy image file? [07:32] cody, ok 1 sec [07:32] kk [07:32] Yes , I have [07:32] so you can arrange for things like "as soon as the network is up, mount a network share" [07:32] twiztid: Maybe you can read more or ask in #samba [07:32] though it's quite technical [07:32] NeoKipling: Then dd if=/path/to/floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 should do it. [07:32] vasi: ok, ill google upstart... and thx soreau: im on it [07:33] twiztid, the manpages are actually quite good [07:33] my net is works well,but I just can not update my system,why? [07:33] I already mount it, but wine can't use it [07:33] cody, comment out two lines [07:33] cody, deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [07:33] kk [07:33] cody, and deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [07:34] NeoKipling: Don't mount it, just write it to the floppy. [07:34] geirha, I want to connect to an eggdrop via 127.0.0.1 with the telnet... and most dont allow back space or arrow up thats why I am asking if there is a telnet program with a decent gui for ubuntu... windows has a lot of good ones for free so I supposed ubuntu would too (putty is awful) [07:34] NeoKipling: be extra careful with dd though. It's a very low-level command and could really mess up your system / files. [07:35] Как перейти в русскую комнату? [07:35] vasi: ya i tried to do a little self troubleshooting but i screwed up mu sudoers in the process... now that i got that resorted, im reluctant to do anything on my own right now... lol [07:35] ubuntu`: *shrug* I've never used anything but the telnet command, so I don't know then. [07:35] oh,sorry. I don't have that file. I need to exe make that [07:35] geirha, thanks anyway [07:35] cody, when you do that, let me know if you get the error again [07:35] Acid1986: type /join #ubuntu-ru [07:35] looks like it went through ok, and no error, no updates to install either. [07:35] twiztid, heh, ok maybe i shouldn't have suggested something that complex [07:35] cody, yep [07:36] looks like it was those 2 lines, right? [07:36] cody, yes [07:36] cody, are you on 10.10 [07:36] ? [07:36] NeoKipling: That exe is probably just a self-extracting zip. Try extracting it as a zip file. unzip file.exe [07:36] kk, thanks! [07:36] yeah, 10.10 [07:36] cody, hmm [07:36] Maverick, as I believe. [07:36] cody, they work fine for me [07:36] cody, yes [07:36] wow, i'll try those on my home network when I get there. [07:36] cody, you can uncomment them again after a few hours and try [07:37] kk [07:37] thanks, [07:37] cody, :) [07:37] vasi: its not so much the complexity, as it is the simplistic nature of my attempts undermining my patience [07:38] geirah: I tried, it not self-extracting [07:38] Is there a 64bit specific channel? [07:38] Name141: no [07:38] vasi: its so simple... access my crap, over there! lol [07:38] OK. Is 64 bit finally good to use now? I heard Flash used to not work. [07:39] twiztid, if you just make it a Favorite, and then you can access it from GNOME with one click....is that not good enough? [07:39] Name141: It works fine for me. Other people say Flash is problematic. ymmv. [07:39] Name141, works for me! [07:39] Name141, that is not really a problem with ubuntu, i think [07:39] vasi: how would i go about making a windows share a favorite??? =) [07:39] OK. I'm assuming the 32bit will be just like windows and not use all 4GBs of RAM ? [07:39] twiztid, how are you mounting it now? [07:39] im not! its a pain in the neck! [07:39] !pae | Name141 [07:39] Name141: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [07:40] twiztid, does the Network stuff in nautilus not work? [07:40] you should be able to browse windows shares and mount the one you want [07:40] vasi: it wont mount... keeps saying unable to mount location, failed to mount Windows share [07:40] oh, you can't even mount it in the first place [07:40] i'm not really the person to talk to then :( [07:40] rww: So I could, use the 32bit disk without having to download the 64bit ISO ? [07:41] vasi: nope, i navigate to it, it finds all my shared crap, even lets me access the folder right next to the one i actuall want to acess!!! [07:41] Name141: if you want to install 32-bit with PAE, the 32-bit disk will work for that, yes... [07:42] OK. Is there 3D acceloration for a Radeon 4670 ? [07:42] vasi: well thx anyway... its such a hassle! i have it shared on my xp in EXACTLY the same way as the folder next to it is... so stumped... [07:42] NeoKipling: Hm. I don't know then. You might be able to run it with dosemu, but I'm not sure. Have only briefly tried dosemu. [07:44] thanks again. it my first laptop, and was a bit curious. is using wubi and in stalling ubuntu as an app ok as a test as well? [07:45] Thanks geirha, but I only have windows exe [07:45] zus: Wubi is rather finicky. Using it as a test would be fine, but I wouldn't recommend staying on it long-term. [07:46] NeoKipling: Are you sure? What does the file command say about it? file file.exe [07:47] geirha: please look at this page: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=500865&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=500883&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093 [07:48] rww it has windows vista right now and i didnt want to wipe it and find out not all the features work,..live disc aside. like the finger pint reader thats nifty, though never had it work on any machine or os,.. [07:49] Did they ever release an official linux version of Unreal 3? [07:49] what is the best way for me to get the driver for my lexmark printer? [07:49] I would like to update my ath9k driver, but I don't quite understand how to enable the driver once I compile it... What does this mean?http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k#Get_the_latest_ath9k_driver [07:51] I first use windows based driver flash bios, so the computer crash. now, I need a dos boot deskette recove that. [07:52] How do I get my Evga Nidia GT 430 PCI-E 2.0 with HDMI to work ? OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 32-Bit [07:52] NeoKipling: Hm. Seems you can't make that floppy without windows, at least not with the tools provided by HP :/ [07:53] But i don't have a floppy driver. So i must make out this floppy image, to make a cd boot disk [07:54] yes, geirha, I can't find this dos image file from internet [07:55] rystraum: I found a program called Alien to do that [07:55] I tried win7, but virtual floppy driver not work [07:56] Rypervenche, i;m not experienced with wireless networking , but you might try this http://wiki.debian.org/ath9k [07:57] Rypervenche, if it compiled to the kernel, modprobe should show it up... then booting from that kernel should enable it, i think [07:57] hi [07:57] o/ [07:57] is there a wiki which says about supported Ubuntu releases ? [07:58] kaushal: which are supported, you mean? [07:58] rww: yes [07:58] rs0832: I can compile it, but how do I enable it? Where am I supposed to do these alterations? http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k#Enabling_ath9k [07:58] kaushal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [07:58] wine can do a lot of work, why can't execute this program [07:58] kaushal: everything in "Stable" [07:58] aaaa [07:58] wiki note237 support ubuntu23153~14419 237 1414 222 circle0 [07:59] How do I get my Evga Nvidia GT 430 PCI-E 2.0 with HDMI to work ? OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 32-Bit [07:59] Rypervenche: this alterations are made when you compiling a Kernel [07:59] Rypervenche, i went through that an d i think you need to do that in either some configuration file or in a program.. they are unspecific, though... check if you have any aditional boot options for other kernels [07:59] rww: Thanks [07:59] excuseme my inglish is not to good [08:00] Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't mess with that then... [08:00] i can install kde in ubuntu? [08:00] White-Horse, I believe you need to install proprietary drivers [08:00] dannyLopez: install the 'kubuntu-desktop' package [08:00] g'morning chaps [08:00] Rypervenche, you may get an additional boot option at startup.. boot into this and it should work [08:00] 23768 1419 1414 237allied spatial23463 1414results_worm_peck~|||sys-allied [08:01] a1234567890: something we can help you with? [08:01] none i gone [08:01] psycho_oreos I installed the Nvidia Driver from Nvidia.com but no hdmi and start up sreen is a mess any ideas ? [08:01] a1234567890: then I'd appreciate it if you didn't output nonsense to the channel :\ [08:01] rwrd: how i find this packet? [08:01] ok [08:01] dannyLopez: run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" in the terminal [08:02] or search kubuntu-desktop in your favorite package manager [08:02] rww: TKS [08:02] White-Horse, not sure if you installed using the drivers from nvidia but I do believe there should be nvidia control panel which should allow you to output to which ports, then again, nvidia card should be able to sense hdmi connection if its connected rather than dvi unless you have both plugged in [08:03] other question are compatibles kubuntu-desktop & gnome? [08:03] dannyLopez: yes [08:04] is it possible to find out which process used the pid in the past? if i have the PID and the time... [08:04] again TKS [08:05] psycho_oreos Yes I went to Nvidia.com and d/l'ed the Linux Driver for my card and installed it after of course I uninstalled all the ubuntu build it drivers and stoped X from running [08:05] How do i start rtorrent from a php (or python-web) script so that it keeps running even after the script has terminated? [08:06] please, anybody help me out, I already waste so much time [08:06] psyco_oreos everything seems fine but when i first boot up the sreen is a mess untill after I log in [08:06] hi folks [08:06] can anybody tell me how to run two concurrent desktops for two different users on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx? [08:06] White-Horse, yeah I'm not too sure about screen being in a mess, never messed with hdmi output [08:07] dd bs=512 count=2880 if=/dev/zero of=imagefile.img [08:07] mkfs.msdos imagefile.img [08:07] sudo mount -t vfat imagefile.img /media/floppy -o loop,iocharset=utf8, rw,uid=neo,gid=neo,umask=000,dmask=022 [08:07] before there was a way with Alt-Ctrl-F9 but doesnt seem to work anymore. I do startx -- :1 as the other user but it goes blank after i change users [08:08] in the karmic repositories what is the php-curl module called? [08:08] psycho_oreos this the driver i got from Nvidia.com "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run" right now I am using the DVI port not the HDMI one [08:08] I use this command, is there something wrong? [08:08] psycho_oreos but the sreen only goes to 1920x1080 after login [08:09] White-Horse, so even with DVI the screen is still messed up? [08:09] only at boot up [08:09] NeoKipling, what are you trying to use it for? [08:09] make a virtual floppy driver [08:10] things are all over the place and i can not see the login at all its like there is no driver at all [08:10] NeoKipling, you mean floppy drive? [08:10] NeoKipling, looks like there is a space between `iocharset=utf8,rw' [08:10] yeah [08:10] hi [08:10] no, just peast problem [08:10] what does intuitive mean in Super-fast and great-looking, Ubuntu is a secure, intuitive operating system that powers desktops, servers, netbooks and laptops. Ubuntu is, and always will be, absolutely free. [08:11] hi curiousx [08:11] hi frien dannyLopez =) [08:11] White-Horse, you might want to check xorg log files to see if there was errors using nvidia driver or did it revert back to nv driver or even vesa [08:11] is it possible to find out which process used the pid in the past? if i have the PID and the time? [08:12] Can anyone here help me figure out why I get a permission denied error with ./configure ? [08:12] psycho_oreos ok i will do that and paste to pastebin [08:12] dl551, either its ownership issue or file mode issue [08:13] It worked fine before, I sent in the laptop for repair (Screen went out on me) and now it's not working [08:14] can anybody tell me how to run two concurrent desktops for two different users on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx? [08:14] dl551, for some reason I don't think they are related unless you're suspecting the technicians who serviced your laptop messed with your setup [08:14] before there was a way with Alt-Ctrl-F9 but doesnt seem to work anymore. I do startx -- :1 as the other user but it goes blank after i change users [08:14] started using ubuntu and I have extensive following of directions, but xchat will not give me list of people in a given channel === Moriarty is now known as Guest23433 [08:14] Well whatever happened, I need to fix it [08:14] it lists my servers on the right, but there is nothing that shows hwo is in the room? [08:15] does anyone know how to play divx movies? i have xubuntu [08:15] adrian__: You mean two users using the same CPU with different monitors / keyboard / mouse? [08:15] daniel: Try getting VLC. [08:15] ok [08:15] dl551, maybe I set user read write execute permissions first on the file [08:16] rystraum: same monitor. Log in as two diff users on same system with two different x sessions each using a different wm [08:16] dl551: what does `ls -al ./configure` return? And what's your user? [08:16] I have like, no knowledge of how to do that, or what file would need it [08:16] psycho_oreos Can you please have a look thank-you http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/548463/ [08:17] rystraum: -rw-r--r-- 1 dl551 dl551 7455 2010-11-18 19:56 ./configure [08:17] dl551: chmod +x ./configure [08:17] It should work after that. [08:18] ok, that worked :) but now ./configure: line 57: ./cmake/get-git-version.sh: Permission denied [08:19] hey all. i gotta question about the server edition? [08:19] kilian76: just ask away [08:19] Guest23433: try #xchat, if you didn't figure it out yet :) [08:19] dl551: Oh, what are you compiling? [08:19] KMess MSN messenger [08:19] Latest git version [08:19] thanks, I am thinking of using an old PC to convert into a personal server [08:20] Do you still have the tar file? [08:20] is the server edition a graphic user interface, or a shell type interface? [08:20] kilian76: shell, unless you install gui [08:20] kilian76: shell. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [08:20] I never had a tar, it came from the .sh file they had [08:21] Hmmm. Okay. [08:21] thanks ... its not recommended? [08:21] kilian76: if you're using an old personal computer for the server, the benefits of the server version are somewhat questionable and you could probably get what you want with the mini install as well, or if the computer already has a supported version of Ubuntu, then just install the stuff you want on it [08:21] is there any way to get a permananent side bar with names? [08:22] @dl551: Do you have a cmake folder beside the configure file? [08:22] the old PC should be good enough to act as a web server. [08:23] rystraum: yes [08:23] White-Horse, hmm seems like its using nvidia driver, I'd say its gdm that is not using the right resolution [08:23] but, what i find difficult about linux is the 'compiling' or 'installing' of any programs likey MySQL and PHP [08:23] even though they most likely come with the package, but updating, etc. [08:23] psycho_oreos any idea on how to fix that ? [08:23] checking in again for the query ? [08:23] a friend uses Slackware. its a bit intimidating [08:23] kilian76, you should look into something like XAMPP [08:23] kilian76: yes, but the server version is mainly a version with specialized kernels and modules for server hardware. It doesn't come with php or mysql on it by default, you need to install them with the package manager [08:23] White-Horse, not off my head I'm afraid [08:24] what is XAMPP? [08:24] kilian76, you dont have to compile anything and installation is etremely easy once you understand the package management podel [08:24] model* [08:24] dl551: assuming you're in the folder where configure is, chown dl551 . -R [08:24] kilian76: xampp isn't supported here, btw, so if you choose that you're pretty much on your own [08:24] psycho_oreos ok np thank you so much for your time have a great hight/day guys [08:24] kilian76, XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. [08:24] basically you just check mysql and php and hit the install button [08:24] White-Horse, good luck :) [08:24] Myrtti: i don't know what XAMPP is . [08:25] :) [08:25] kilian76: I'd recommend ignoring the people telling you to use it, then. [08:25] okay thanks psycho_oreos [08:25] mysql, apache, and php are all available and easy to install from the repos [08:26] so, when i use the existing PC, and once i have imaged a CD version of the package, Do i just insert into the CD drive and turn on the computer?? [08:26] I am getting to like linux at last [08:26] rystraum: Still get the error. [08:26] kilian76, yes, you may have to hit f2 or something to make sure the computer tries to boot from cd before the harddrive [08:26] soon I will not longer need my windows crutch [08:26] noonian: right, thats what i thought. [08:27] @dl551: I assume you're a sudoer: sudo ./configure? [08:27] kilian76, once you are running checkout the ubuntu software center app for help installing thing [08:27] s [08:27] no I just use ./configure [08:27] do I have to do anything regarding a DHCP connection? [08:27] I didn't think sudo was needed [08:27] okay [08:27] dl551, mind me asking the program you are compiling? [08:28] rs0832: KMess [08:28] kilian76, just plug in an ethernet cable if it doesnt have a wireless card [08:28] okay cool. [08:28] dl551, the msn one? [08:28] dl551: Normally, no. But whenever I encounter that kind of permission errors and chmod / chown doesn't cut it, I just go for sudo. Of course, It has its risks. [08:29] i will try this out. :) and i know its a dumb question, but i have to ask, Can the desktop version do server functions? === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees === coaboa||away is now known as coaboa [08:29] kilian76: Yes, it can. [08:29] dl551, if it is the msn one, you dont need sudo.. can you pastebin the out put you get? [08:29] rs0832: Yes [08:29] kilian76, yea it is almost exactly the same but has more programs installed by default [08:29] and a GUI? [08:29] yes [08:30] you can install a gui on the server version too though [08:30] sudo ./configure works [08:30] dl551, hmm did you try the one from the repos? [08:30] dl551, synaptic [08:30] maybe that maybe the root, to go with the desktop version, then i can easily use it to act as a media server. a friend was telling me about that === Mkaysi is now known as N1tGGS2Aqg [08:30] hey [08:31] It's working now so I don't need to use the synaptic one [08:31] Thanks guys :) [08:31] dl551, k.. but to delete the source folder you have to sudo [08:31] No probs. :) [08:31] hey do others experince video ripping when using linux? i always see lines across my videos [08:31] guys... it's been a long time since i've run linux on the desktop. any of you gamers? what issues am i likely to encounter? [08:31] kilian76, i dont think root is what you mean, but there are media serving programs [08:32] hrhrhr: Depends on what kind of games you play. [08:32] oh ok [08:32] quakelive mainly [08:32] i had downloaded sudo apt-get source calmav from terminal ..but the problem is i cant find where it is store in my com...can any one help me [08:32] hrhrhr, i was able to get wow working fine with an nvidia card with wine [08:32] Now if only I could get my network printer to work :P [08:33] dl551: What is wrong with it? [08:33] does steam work under linux these days? [08:33] natively? [08:33] @dl551: Ahhh. Yes. Cups. DX [08:33] not sure i cbf with wine [08:33] unless it's massively better than it used to be 10 years ago :P [08:33] after last update from medibuntu when I start mplayer, mplayer window is not centered and is on left top corner - how can I set this window into center ? [08:33] Just doesn't work, I dunno [08:33] I can't get it to work with a non-windows machine [08:33] does Ubuntu come with Apache ? [08:34] kilian76: not by default [08:34] @kilian76: You can get it from the repos though. [08:34] oh okay. [08:34] dl551, can you find the printer with the printing tool? [08:34] what is repos? [08:34] i always get lines across video when watching videos in ubuntu... why is that? [08:34] It's on a Windows Vista x64 machine in the other room [08:34] kilian76: it doesn't come with any server software by default because not everyone wants it, especially on the desktop version. Repos are the servers that you can easily with one command install software from [08:34] The XP laptop can use it, but not the macs or Linuxs [08:35] any people here that manage > 100 Ubuntu servers? How do you manage updating all those servers? [08:35] okay [08:35] dl551: Sounds like a general misconfiguration issue [08:35] noonian: would you say nvidia is better supported than ati? [08:35] can i expect a working gtx280 out of the box? :P [08:36] kilian76, basically they store tested versions of free software built for ubuntu and using package management programs like ubuntu software center and apt you can download and install stuff painlessly without having to search using a browser at all [08:36] kilian76: or compile [08:36] hrhrhr: ATI/Radeon is better supported by open drivers [08:36] soreau: I have no idea. [08:36] noonian: on the ubuntu web site? [08:37] kilian76, no, think of it like the app store on an iphone [08:37] oh ok [08:37] kilian76, but with way more stuff and its all free [08:37] @dl551: So, the printer is connected to your Ubuntu machine and sharing it with the Vista laptop and the Vista laptop can't print? [08:37] nice. [08:37] nvidia write their own linux drivers or not? [08:38] dl551: Did you try adding a printer in sys>admin>printers? [08:38] rystraum: No. The printer is connected to the vista machine and the mac and linux machines can't print to it. [08:38] soreau: I can add it there, but printing does nothing. [08:38] @hrhrhr: They do. They just give out a binary-only version to distributions though. [08:38] hrhrhr: nvidia pays devs to write their drivers but they keep the source code and hardware specs private. [08:38] ubuntu included? [08:39] kilian76, heres an article about how to install stuff http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [08:39] i don't necessarily care if that is the case. an underperforming card would be a nightmare [08:39] hrhrhr: Radeon is owned by AMD now and releases hardware specs as well as pays devs to work on the open radeon driver which means much better integration and support [08:40] i wanna watch divx movies..i have xubuntu...anyone help? [08:40] @daniel: Did VLC not work? [08:40] During the Server Edition installation you have the option of installing additional packages from the CD. The packages are grouped by the type of service they provide. * DNS server: Selects the BIND DNS server and its documentation. * LAMP server: Selects a ready-made Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP server. [08:40] daniel: Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:40] nope [08:40] how can i "video-record" my screen? [08:41] !screencast | blink [08:41] blink: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [08:41] blind: recordmydesktop [08:41] so during the install, you can install all that without going to the repository? [08:41] rww: thx [08:41] kilian76: it installs it from the repository for you. [08:41] kilian76, its the same it just has a subset of the repos on the install disc [08:41] rww: oh nice, thats so convenient! [08:42] might have it on the CD itself; I don't know [08:42] hi [08:43] well folks, thanks for your assistance. I will start this tomorrow :) talk to you soon!! [08:43] night o!

This is my problem: I must use a window program to make a dos boot diskette to recover bios. I already made a blank floppy image file, mounted it. But wine execute the windows program error: The process was either aborted or no diskette was found. [08:56] hello [08:57] Bonez305, hello [08:57] I have a rather simple yet complicated question atleast to me :/ [08:57] Bonez305, go ahead [08:58] can anyone tell me how to add aliases to .bashrc i've already [08:58] i have an old hp a6700y the hard drive went on it i swapped it with a 320gb and was interested in putting ubuntu on there [08:58] I am working on making a virtualbox server, using virtualbox and ubuntu server+gnome desktop environment. I got it working, for the most part. But when I attempt to login via vncviewer, it asks on the host machine for the keyring password, which it a problem. [08:58] now its a 64 bit proc. do i need a 64bit OS ? [08:58] tried with nano [08:58] Bonez305, no you dont.. 32 bit will run fine [08:59] Bonez305: you can use either 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu. [08:59] i tried to install the 32bit but it was acting up, so i figured maybe i may need a 64bit OS :/ [08:59] This system is meant to be a virtualbox host, and to run vnc for controlling it, I don't know why it's popping up asking for the keyring tho [08:59] Bonez305, acting up how? [09:00] in #ubuntu-ru [09:00] during the install, when it asked for the user name and pass, i entered everything but i can't click the forward button [09:00] Bonez305, hmm.. [09:00] Bonez305, did you try entering root as your user? [09:00] weird right [09:01] no didnt try root [09:01] does nobody have a clue as to why this is happening? [09:01] Bonez305, that doesnt happen because of the 32 bit os === KayAteChef is now known as Guest21818 [09:01] Bonez305, you can try using a different combo of u/n and pass... did yo utry that? [09:01] rs0832, yes [09:01] Bonez305, or you may not have entered some other details [09:02] I entered everything correctly [09:02] it was also a good burnt copy idk what it may be [09:02] Bonez305, you ran an md5? [09:03] I have 4 different internet access methods, and this VM server is going to be directly connected to one of them, but with how it's asking for the keyring, it's not really useful. So does nobody have a clue? I can go back into looking into it myself... just figured someone might have some knowledge of it and a quickfix [09:03] rs0832, no [09:03] Bonez305, hmm 10.10 right?

I just found out if I want to mount it manually in opensuse, it gave "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdaX cr_sdaX". then "mount /dev/mapper/cr_sdaX ". that is the case in opensuse. [09:50] rs0832, could u help me to modify my grub menu?

[09:52] alif, sudo aircrack-ng in terminal [09:52] rs0832, so i uninstalled burg, then went to look for the grub.lst and could not find it [09:52] woot_woot, sorry, typo. I would like to encrypt some partitions. [09:52] sgo11: ok, i know what your saying. I use truecrypt so that's the only firsthand info i can give you. You should be able to just install it (google 'truecrypt'), download the .deb package. install it. then when you run it, you will get a gui [09:52] glitchd, hmm is there a grub.cfg? [09:52] woot_woot yeah [09:52] rs0832, i have no clue, i could search for it [09:52] how do I install mono/.net 4 on ubuntu without building from source? surely it's in the repo somewhere and I'm just missing it?

I *beleive* truecrypt will load that [09:57] so... nobody can help me [09:57] woot_woot, I found out ubuntu had the package cryptsetup as well. maybe that is the same to opensuse one.

[09:59] and change the sudoers file to allow you to sudo without putting in a password all the time [09:59] why would you want to remove burg? [09:59] or run as root [09:59] rs0832, well, lets try that now. [09:59] woot_woot: how do it?? [09:59] tas, maybe u could try removing it? [09:59] neither of which i will give you instruction on because doing so gives you the ability to screw up your system and im not gonna get reamed for that. you will have to google it. sorry [09:59] tas, dont listen to me..lol [10:00] rs0832, lame, I have nothing on, no software center, no terminal, and it says something else is using the packager thingy, when I open synaptic package manager.. [10:00] glitchd_, I can only remove if it was THERE, which it isnt.. in software center. [10:00] tas: open a terminal [10:00] tas, hmm.. if you said software center got stuck, it is probably that [10:00] type 'sudo apt-get remove skype' [10:00] the "applying changes" got stuck [10:01] tas, try to kill it [10:01] rs0832, how? [10:01] that happened to me a few days ago [10:01] tas, i just logged out and logged back in [10:01] tas, but its not letting u install it?

[10:02] woot_woot, no worries. thanks a lot for the help. I will try ubuntu cryptsetup soon I get home. That computer is my homePC. thanks.

[10:02] k brb [10:02] woot_woot, no worries. thanks. :) [10:03] glitchd_: depends on where it hung.

[10:07] alif, if your tired of inputting password then by all means make a root account [10:07] thanks everyone who helped me ^^ [10:07] rs0832: no, you can make it so sudo doesn't ask for a password [10:07] woot_woot, oh?

[10:08] Weazel, sry bud was just being funny [10:08] glitchd_, i think it would [10:08] i enjoy using the lmgtfy site [10:08] is there a way to find out what it would be? [10:08] Weazel: then you need to nmap your network [10:08] i swear this was easier before [10:09] rs0832, i swear i had to edit a different file when i did this before [10:09] glitchd_, try sudo blkid [10:09] tied nmap -v -sP -- it returns : "No space for further MAC prefixes from nmap-mac-prefixes.

[10:25] thks one more time sysv-rc-conf is greate! [10:25] woot_woot, latest is n455? [10:26] whats the biggest inch, of a full hdtv i can run on full res (1920*1080) with a 1gb graphics card (hd5770) [10:26] Hi. Could anybody help me with closing active program for no activity [10:26] livingdaylight: no idea. i like the atom in this. i can run whatever i need to so yeah [10:26] ivanz, does it have a gui? [10:26] ivanz: what do you mean? killing a program? [10:27] woot_woot, some notebook come with dual-core processor now. Too many options on market [10:27] its frozen i assume [10:27] woot_woot: yes, I mean my win7 doesn't support that virtual floppy tool === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [10:27] I want to have free public access to computer, but I want if nobody is on computer that computer is beck on first desktop [10:27] NeoKipling[CN]: your kind of in the wrong room. windows questions/help are in ##windows. we cant really make a win7 floppy disk for you. sorry [10:28] woot_woot, some bad reviews i read... freezing and useless after one year; many share experience on forums [10:28] if somebody use firefox and leave computer, that after few minute that firefox is closed - maybe related with screensaver [10:29] oooh [10:29] hello world [10:29] livingdaylight: never had a problem with mine and i have had it 2 years. I did screw up the bios, but i reflashed it with a flash drive (took 2 minutes to restore). no other issues [10:29] ivanz, that requires writing your own script, i suggest going to #bash [10:29] It is something like Killall but killall kill user too [10:29] ivanz, killall [10:29] ivanz: you just want to log a user out after x number of minutes? [10:30] its "killall firefox" [10:30] he want firefox to close when no1 is using it [10:30] ivanz i think wants a auto logout if you have been inactive for x amount of minutes [10:30] XiaolinDraconis: its not just firefox, he was using that as an example [10:30] yes. But I put firefox as example. Could be anything. I don't want logout [10:31] oooh any application [10:31] yes then you need a script [10:31] ivanz, it shouldnt log out if you specify the program name [10:31] ivanz: oh you dont want to log out. yeah, you need to write a script to kill it [10:31] woot_woot: oh, i understand, sorry, at first i think use wine. ok, i try #windows channel. thanks, and thanks rww [10:31] ##windows [10:31] 2 # [10:31] XiaolinDraconis you are right. I need script, but I am beginner and I don't know where to start. [10:31] thanks [10:32] channel #bash [10:32] they are the script professionals [10:32] ivanz: bash/csh/perl will work for that [10:32] I expect that it is related with Screensaver, but I need to close program [10:32] leave [10:32] screensaver thing wont close programs [10:32] ivanz, what it sounds like is you want to basically watch the top output and if it has been inactive for a certain amount of time, kill it [10:33] ivanz, you are asking for a really hard thing to do without logging out [10:33] in which case, you need to learn some scripting/programming to write it yourself. sorry [10:34] i need coffee [10:34] Ok. I think that it is easy - I realy didn't know. I though that it is just one command in existing code of screensavers. sorry [10:34] someone bring me some java! [10:34] ivanz, i tink i missed your problem o.o [10:34] ivanz, what exactly are you trying to do ? [10:34] ivanz, i can help you write a script that will be very simple but it will only handle a few programs [10:34] ivanz, nope. there isn't a program or few lines that will do what your looking for [10:34] hello, I created a ssh server on my ubuntu 10.04 laptop and trying to connect with my android phone, but it says "connection lost, connection reset by peer". How can I know what happened, and where the problem is? [10:35] rs0832: he wants to close inactive programs [10:35] woot_woot, ah ok.. to free up ram or something ? [10:35] rs0832, say he has firefox and music player open.. now say he walks away... he want idle programs to close themselves [10:35] rs0832, I want to close active program/windows after few minutes of no activity [10:35] bsod1: make sure you can actually ssh to it before trying with your phone [10:35] woot_woot: I have no devices except my phone right no [10:36] ivanz, k [10:36] woot_woot, I want to close active programs but if nobady work on computer for few minutes [10:36] bsod1: then your s.o.l. you need to be at the computer. then open a terminal and type 'ssh localhost' and see if it lets you in [10:36] ivanz: yeah i know what your looking to do, but the solution is a program/script [10:36] woot_woot: Permission denied (publickey). [10:36] ivanz, how bout if they dont close, but minimize? [10:36] whats the biggest inch, of a full hdtv i can run on full res (1920*1080) with a 1gb graphics card (hd5770) [10:37] ivanz, thatd be a little easier for me to do [10:37] XiaolinDraconis, hmm using bash? [10:37] bsod1: your authentication mechanism is wrong. your sshd config is looking for keys [10:37] woot_woot: how can I set it for password? [10:37] rs0832, i think it can be done... and ill bug the bash guys about it. [10:37] im not super familiar with ssh though so i will have to let someone more knowledgeable then i in ssh and the sshd take over [10:38] XiaolinDraconis, i think so too [10:38] bsod, the config is /etc/ssh/sshd_config [10:38] if i remember correctly. there are options in there [10:38] rs0832, i like making scripts and this sound useful to me as well [10:38] XiaolinDraconis, this could be mess after few user who open few programs, but if you can recognize program and can minimize that program solution is to kill that program [10:39] easy question: how do I start the GUI from command line? [10:39] ivanz: you want to write a script that will revovle around 'top' output [10:39] ivanz, i wasnt planning on recognizing a program i was gonna activate show desktop command after user is idle [10:39] XiaolinDraconis, :) [10:39] piercedw_: what gui [10:39] the x server? [10:39] woot_woot: the default desktop manager in 10.10 [10:39] XiaolinDraconis: it seems i have a newer touchpad than anything supports [10:39] gdm start or kdm start i believe [10:40] rs0832, should the command u gave me to get that id or whatever, should i be the same as my actual windows partition? [10:40] I understand. Is it posible to recognise active program and to kill/close them [10:40] it might just be 'gdm' (gnome) or 'kdm' (KDE) if i remember correctly [10:40] XiaolinDraconis, if you know java you can have a look at this for ideas http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5336869&postcount=5 [10:41] ivanz, yes but if i make it recognize aall idle program, then system vitals will also get killed [10:41] glitchd, sorry? [10:41] * FlyingPigs are among us. [10:41] ivanz: open a terminal and type 'top -d 1' and look at that [10:41] that will be showing you process times and the like [10:41] glitchd, if you are asking if the windows part and recovery part will have the same uuid then no, they wont [10:41] ivanz, now if i make it kill programs it will have to be only firefox and a few other pre-determined apps [10:42] you can make a script to watch the output, checking applications for the last time they used a couple minutes of processor time [10:42] if they haven't, kill it [10:42] What's the command to know the name of the current shell? (Like bash, sh, zsh etc) [10:42] * FlyingPigs will avenge their forseen destiny! [10:42] rocket16: $ = csh, # = bash [10:42] look at the symbol your terminal ends in [10:43] join #linux [10:43] woot_woot: Even when I switch to bash, '$' keeps on remaining [10:43] FlyingPigs: Ok, thanks [10:43] rs0832, ok, yes thats what i was asking [10:43] woot_woot, yeah that sounds easy but i would have to be specific with process id's or else it may kill things like bash or compiz or something really important === mark_forstor_and is now known as mark_in_sweden [10:43] XiaolinDraconis, I think it could be solution of problem [10:43] XiaolinDraconis: yank the pid from the output [10:43] HI guys [10:43] glitchd, k then, every partition/drive has to have a unique uuid [10:44] rs0832, dammit i dont know why its so hard to do this now, i just had to do it the other day and it was not this hard, i swear [10:44] glitchd, :) did you use a guide or something? [10:44] It seems like mynotebook has lost its hard drive.... Can'n even start from an external disk. Hints? [10:44] woot_woot, right thats why i would need specific programs to kill and not just any ole idle process [10:44] mark_in_sweden, did you try a live cd? [10:44] yepp [10:45] ivanz, pm me and we will talk about this more [10:45] XiaolinDraconis: check for ones started by the user and not from root [10:45] mark_in_sweden, if that doesnt start either, i'd say check your bios [10:45] or started by the system/cron [10:45] woot_woot, sounds reasonable [10:45] rs0832, not at all, i just went into the file, the name of which i cant seem to remember, and changed the partition code that it was booting to [10:45] I did. It seems like the boot sector is totally gone [10:45] well folks, I'm trying to mount something and I'm getting a permission denied error, even when trying to mount it as root, I'm a bit puzzled here, any help would be appreciated. Using Kubuntu 10.10 [10:45] mark_in_sweden: if a boot disk wont load, its not the disk [10:45] woot_woot: Got it, it's 'echo $0' [10:45] what should I check for in BIOS? [10:46] bootdisk = livecd [10:46] mark_in_sweden, the boot sector? then atleast a live cd would load [10:46] woot_woot, but are all process (like docky) that start on system start-up run as root? [10:46] XiaolinDraconis, where can I find your pm [10:46] rocket16: ahh, never knew that [10:46] right click my name [10:46] glitchd, partition code == uuid? [10:46] the live CD loads. But can't install Ubuntu. Just runs on the CD [10:46] XiaolinDraconis: the only things that will run as the user are what started when the user logged in [10:47] mark_in_sweden: then you probably have a bad drive [10:47] rs0832, no like this, (0,3) [10:47] How am I able to see the if there is a wokring hard drive? [10:47] mark_in_sweden, hmm check if gparted can detect your hd [10:47] use gparted to see if it can see the disk [10:47] mark_in_sweden, from the live cd [10:47] yeah what rs0832 said [10:47] :P [10:47] will try - will come badk [10:47] glitchd, hmm then it should be easy if it worked that time [10:47] woot_woot, so anything i personally add to the start-up list is ran as root when i log in? [10:47] woot_woot, :) [10:48] rs0832, thats what im saying, so either im looking in the wrong file, or the files has chanted [10:48] changed [10:48] glitchd, did you modify it with burg installed the last time? [10:49] no i hadnt installed burg yet [10:49] XiaolinDraconis: when you start a system, everything that is started up before you log in (minus the stuff you cron from cron) is all started as system/init.d stuff. if you have a config for that app that tells it what user to run as, that wcould be a problem [10:49] glitchd, cause i think the file being changed is a nearly impossible possiblity ;) [10:49] but like right now, if i reboot into linux, anything before i log in will not be running as my user. [10:49] glitchd, what have you edited so far ? [10:49] rs0832, well u would know better than me [10:49] because i dont have anything in cron and no applications run as my user [10:49] rs0832, nothing yet [10:49] woot_woot, so i dont want to go killing any old app cause he may have added entries himself [10:50] glitchd, can you pastebin your grub.cfg? [10:50] rs0832, trying to gather all the info i can before i do anything that could potentially break my system [10:50] rs0832, sure [10:50] you can also check the parent pids and see what parent kicked it off [10:51] woot_woot, genius! [10:51] rs0832, http://pastebin.com/gQnYi1wT [10:51] glitchd, and make a copy of your grub.cfg file... if anything goes wrong, boot into a livecd and replace it with the backup [10:51] sounds like i know what i need to do so ill go ask bash channel how to get started [10:51] good luck [10:51] im getting coffee before i fall asleep at my desk [10:52] bbiaf [10:52] rs0832, i made a copy, good idea [10:52] glitchd, k [10:52] actually, im going home and going to bed. its 5am. later everyone === ghh is now known as ox3a [10:52] rs0832, im gonna open a private pm so i dont get tagged for long posts === richard is now known as richardr [10:53] glitchd, k [10:53] glitchd, :D [10:53] rs0832, [10:56] Where can i find libapache-mod-scgi module? its not in the repo it seems [10:56] !info libapache2-mod-scgi [10:56] libapache2-mod-scgi (source: scgi): Apache module implementing the SCGI protocol.

[13:17] Folks, I'm having problem were I can't select resolution lower than 1280x1024 because the driver read edid information from monitor. Is there a way to lie edid and set lower resolution? Please help. Thx === kampf_frettchen_ is now known as kampf_frettchen [13:18] rww, hmm it's been sometime since the sudo thing has happened to me and i was having some problems with gnome at the time, so it;s probably nothing.. thanks for your time though [13:18] cutout, it probably encounters some kind of error, try making it dump its output to a file [13:19] gsfai, any progress ?

[13:29] vnc uses rfb according to a well-known online encyclopedia [13:30] i tried LANGUAGE=en but it didnt work [13:30] sacarlson, actually all remote desktop software use rfb :) [13:30] Anjer: Just a single application?

[13:57] Depends, Arachon [13:57] Usually, those are binary files [13:57] but are they programs ? data ? [13:57] Arachon, normally you set permissions as executable, or with sh [13:57] Well, it's supposedly the installer for Braid, got it of the humble bundle [13:57] No one any advice concerning nvidia/ati? i need to buy a new graphics card and want to run two monitors. [13:57] possibly .run.bin [13:58] Then chmod +x myfile.bin [13:58] then ./myfile.bin [13:58] hello [13:58] Allright [13:58] Arachon, and make sure you could try the program before you run it [13:58] *trust [13:58] * icarus-c goes to bed [13:58] anyone here hear of a package that will let you write scripts to automate xwindow interactions for creating a testing environment of an app [13:58] Yes, what icarus-c says. [13:58] As in: "I know where it comes from"? [13:59] Arachon, and you know what it does [13:59] Fair enough [13:59] Arachon : No. As in, you trust the people having written it to be nice guys, and not evil hackers aiming to make your PC a zombie [13:59] im a macosx person, and it comes with a software called automator, was hoping for something similar in ubuntu [13:59] hello, i'm having webcam/driver issues, any help? [13:59] Arachon, if you are trying to install a software from a .bin you should look a package or make a package instead [14:00] *look for [14:00] icarus-c: Thing is, I bought it from the Humble Indie Bundle deal, and this seems to be the only way the distribute the games [14:00] ñäàðîâà âñåì [14:00] icarus-c : Most of the time, bin installers are for proprietary software, where the vendor does NOT give source files, and proper installation procedures [14:01] anyone? automate mouse clicks and key strokes in xwindows [14:01] i am running two monitors with my onboard graphics card. but it wont show any movie. all that appears is a black screen and the sound from the movie. does anyone know how to solve this problem? [14:01] kzwix, that doesn't void the advantages of using a package right? i mean you could build one [14:01] Arachon, a friend of mine installed a bin from the same deal i think, it seemed to have worked fine for him [14:01] rather then letter their proprietary installer to mess with your system [14:02] vendetta, íàõóé èäè === _dv_ is now known as dv_ [14:02] I just found what seems to be a decent guide on the ubuntu forums, I'll mess around a bit and see what happens [14:02] *letting..

[14:05] but in 10.10 there is no plain open option??? [14:05] mosdef, what type of file is it? [14:05] shell script file? [14:05] have you turned on its executable flag? [14:05] mosdef, yes [14:05] mosdef, chmod +x [14:06] mosdef, then try [14:06] what doies that mean sorry?

[14:31] PhonicUK: Pretty sure there's info on that somewhere on http://ubottu.com/ [14:31] kk [14:31] PhonicUK, i think you have to send it as a pm or something and it is considered [14:31] PhonicUK, for addition [14:32] PhonicUK: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid [14:32] hey is chromium the same thing as google chrome? [14:32] michaelgamble: Besides the branding, pretty much. [14:32] no its not [14:32] Chrome has some closed source components in it [14:32] so if im to choose one? [14:32] Chromium is entirely open source [14:33] Pici, ty [14:33] michaelgamble, use chromium [14:33] michaelgamble, for most people - I'd use chrome instead of chromium [14:33] michaelgamble: Chromium is web browser, Google Chrome is web browser, both controlled by Google. [14:33] michaelgamble, chrome has some closed source stuff like a update mechanism [14:33] the closed source one has flash built in IIRC [14:34] michaelgamble, of course, that is disabled on ubuntu because of apt [14:34] and updates flash as part of its own updates [14:34] PhonicUK, But it is easy to install flash on ubuntu [14:34] PhonicUK, system wide [14:34] smw, indeed [14:34] smw: What? Chrome adds a google repo, chromium is in the Ubuntu repos, neither of them builds in an update mechanism IIRC... [14:34] PhonicUK, it makes more sense to use chromium on ubuntu [14:34] I dispute that [14:35] but I suppose its largely a pretty moot point [14:35] No, it does, not least because chromium is in the repositories. [14:35] PhonicUK, yep [14:35] lol well i went google chrome [14:35] hello, one litle question, how can i run a script at startup? (i made one to start my irc server and the services) [14:35] michaelgamble, truthfully, it does not matter [14:35] ePirat: put the script in startup apps [14:35] uhm chrome is in the repositories [14:35] !cron | ePirat [14:35] ePirat: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [14:35] cool [14:36] my end goal is to get this sikuli script thing working, or something like it [14:36] hardcampa: No, it's not, but chromium is. If it shows up in synaptic for you you must have added the google repository. [14:36] google-chrome [14:36] is it's name [14:36] michaelgamble, I use install chrome on windows computers and chromium on linux because I want less closed source stuff on my computer :-) [14:36] its* [14:36] Who in Russian speaks? [14:36] !ru | Pink^FloYd [14:36] Pink^FloYd: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [14:36] michaelgamble, and I lik the chromium icon more... [14:36] like* [14:37] hardcampa: You must have added the google repo, then. I don't get that when I aptitude search chrome [14:37] Pici, [14:37] wow a question that few could end up like this [14:37] well but chrome offers some features that are not available for chromium. such as the built in pdf viewer (well, actually you could just grab the libpdf.so from chrome and give chromium [14:37] Darael hmm alright. [14:37] what is the difference between chrome and chromium [14:37] Pici, mind a pm? a general non ubuntu related question [14:37] AnggaDj98, closed source vs open source :P [14:37] rs0832: go ahead. [14:37] icarus-c haha yeah i get it [14:38] AnggaDj98, on ubuntu... closed vs open [14:38] AnggaDj98: Also chrom. is google-branded and chromium is not. [14:38] Darael well only thing I see added is my Linux client for Spotify. So I don't know where google-chrome comes from then. In my repo. [14:38] AnggaDj98, on windows/mac it has a few features that are worth it [14:38] #ubuntu-dev [14:38] well chromium is pretty much google chrome [14:39] but with closed source [14:39] *some* [14:39] AnggaDj98, yes it is. [14:39] hallo [14:39] google chrome is fully open source? [14:39] hardcampa: Not a clue. Checked sources.list.d as well as sources.list? Which release are you running? I certainly don't remember google-chrome being in the Ubuntu repos. [14:39] hello [14:39] AnggaDj98, as I said, most of the closed source stuff is disabled on ubuntu [14:39] I'm HomeNetworking Ubuntu with Windows 7 Pro. Can see and manipulate files on the Ubuntu machine from Windoze. I can see the Windoze machine from Ubuntu, but when I try to access the network, it displays a login screen, and when I enter the proper credentials, it flashes it again and won't give me access. Any ideas of what the problem may be? [14:39] yes [14:39] icarus-c: thx for reply dude, that gives some hope [14:39] i installed kde from the repos and when i changed session and then switched back to gnome i now have a bunch of kde processes running and some things default to open with kde [14:39] Darael well I'm running 10.10 [14:39] except you enable it via restricted [14:39] how can i get these two to play nicely [14:40] well chromium is available and free though closed-source [14:40] StaRetji, guess what, i forgot what you asked :P [14:40] can i use dd comand with img file? [14:40] AnggaDj98, what? [14:40] AnggaDj98, huh? [14:40] XiaolinDraconis: well disable one [14:40] !ot [14:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:40] AnggaDj98, what you mean? [14:40] Any good software ( for idle time ) that i can download ? [14:40] hardcampa: Hmm, me to. Oh, well, not a clue. [14:40] for fun i mean ! [14:40] rami_, if that img file is meant to be a disk image file, yes [14:40] XiaolinDraconis: disable either gnome or kde [14:40] Northwoods: Nethack is the ultimate timewaster. [14:41] AnggaDj98, uhhh how? [14:41] rs0832, i had 10 CD's in front of me, the first one i grabbed was ubuntu 10.10 (im lucky), so im going to reinstall all of it [14:41] XiaolinDraconis: well choose which one you are using most [14:41] Northwoods, games? [14:41] guys go to o [14:41] ot [14:41] yes may be [14:41] gsfai, k :) [14:41] AnggaDj98, you mean delete? [14:41] yes [14:41] XiaolinDraconis: pick one which you think you will use most [14:41] Girls respond [14:42] AnggaDj98, bottom line is they are just about exactly the same. Google compiles chrome, ubuntu compiles chromium. Chrome auto updates, but it is turned off because apt does it better. Chrome sends bug reports to google, chrome does not. [14:42] smw, icarus-c go to offtopic [14:42] AnggaDj98, i know what i use the most but i would like to play with them both [14:42] smw: Chrome sends bugs to google but chrome does not?! OK, OK, I'll be sensible. [14:42] Hi -- just did a safe-upgrade on 10.10. system tries to upgrade my nvidia driver 260.19.29 but build fails with a compile error! http://paste.ubuntu.com/548280/ [14:42] AnggaDj98, wondering if i can make kde apps stay on kde desktop and vice versa [14:42] icarus-c: yes [14:42] XiaolinDraconis: reinstall both, install kde first then gnome [14:42] Hello, what program do you use in Ubuntu to open a reverse VNC connection? [14:42] Darael, chromium* :-P [14:42] sorry i missed it [14:43] which game ? [14:43] Do I first have to install x11vnc? [14:43] AnggaDj98, what would that fix? [14:43] or is something already installed? === jay is now known as Guest32491 [14:43] XiaolinDraconis: idk maybe well it depends on what you use most [14:43] jerryb: You don't need the nvidia restricted drivers on Maverick, usually. Nouveau, the open-source nvidia driver that's enabled by default, will do all your desktop effects, etc. [14:43] XiaolinDraconis: if its kde you use most then install gnome first, vice versa [14:43] GAMES ? [14:44] AnggaDj98, that doesnt sound like them playing nicely [14:44] Northwoods: NETHACK! Sure, the learning curve is horrible, but it's great. [14:44] Is there AGE OF EMPIRES available on ubuntu ? [14:44] would making separate profiles for kde and gnome keep them away from each other? [14:44] Hello, I have VirtualBox installed on My 1Gb Ram comp..I want to run XP as a guest OS...what memory should i allocate to VBoax and does Vbox take that allocated memory as 'using' even if the VBox is not running??' [14:44] XiaolinDraconis: so you want to keep gnome apps for gnome and kde apps for kde only? then make 2 partitions each filled with ubuntu. done [14:44] Northwoods, thats an MS game so i doubt it :) [14:44] !appdb | Northwoods [14:44] Northwoods: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:44] Northwoods, i think it works with wine [14:45] XiaolinDraconis: sorry i cant help [14:45] :) [14:45] Any help with networking Ubuntu with Window7 pro? [14:45] AnggaDj98, np [14:45] Darael, understood. I thought someone else may have my problem though and found a fix for it. Weird thing is that the error is a gcc error. [14:45] gotcha [14:45] cha cha [14:45] hi at all [14:45] Hello, what program do you use in Ubuntu to open a reverse VNC connection? [14:45] XiaolinDraconis, why do you want to "separate" them [14:45] jerryb: Looks like it can't find a crash file. Try touching it (sudo touch var/crash/nvidia-current.0.crash) and see if it makes a difference. [14:45] smw: idk [14:45] country0129, what's the problem [14:45] Northwoods, it installs with WINE i seen it in PlayOnLinux app [14:46] ManDay, I do not understand the question [14:46] icarus-c: I'm HomeNetworking Ubuntu with Windows 7 Pro. Can see and manipulate files on the Ubuntu machine from Windoze. I can see the Windoze machine from Ubuntu, but when I try to access the network, it displays a login screen, and when I enter the proper credentials, it flashes it again and won't give me access. Any ideas of what the problem may be? [14:46] ok [14:46] thankyou [14:46] jerryb: I'm quite prepared to help, just felt I should get the "you don't need the restricted drivers" bit out of the way. [14:46] I am new to ubuntu,i want to choose 10.04 LTS or 10.10? [14:46] smw, cause i dont all the extra kde processes running when i run gnome [14:46] smw: I want to start a reverse VNC connection (invite someone to control my desktop) what will I use for that? x11vnc? Or is there already something installed with ubuntu that can do that? [14:46] 10.04 LTS for support and 10.10 for performance [14:46] country0129, is the windows share password protected ? (login required) [14:46] nirazio: 10.04 LTS for support and 10.10 for performance [14:46] nirazio: Depends. Do you want long-term support or the latest and greatest. [14:47] If i install number of applications , will that make ubuntu performance slower ? [14:47] Darael: i said that :) [14:47] Yes, but I'm entering the p;roper credentials. [14:47] country0129, iirc there is a bug with gvfs that is used to mount windows share [14:47] Northwoods: duh [14:47] :) [14:47] XD [14:47] AnggaDj98: dammit, sniped. [14:47] country0129, so you may have to use the command line instead [14:47] Darael: lol [14:47] AnggaDj98: killed ! [14:47] Darael: What is long term support?? [14:48] hello there, just asking, i want to put ubuntu 10.10 on my mother's netbook, does she HAVE to have the netbook edition or can we just put the desktop edition on there if we want to? [14:48] ManDay, you can not "invite" someone [14:48] nirazio: Basically, it'll be maintained for longer. [14:48] country0129, OR don't require password to access the share [14:48] ManDay, you need to start a vnc server and let them connect [14:48] I'm not the best with command line intuitively. Can use it, but I'm not really familiar. [14:48] Northwoods, they wont slow it down unless they are all running [14:48] nirazio: you could post to this IRC for until 2012 right? [14:48] tom866: you can put desktop if you want [14:48] and ppl will still respond [14:48] I'd disabled the password required before, but that didn't work, either. [14:48] tom866: only difference is that in netbook there's unity in default [14:48] smw: Actually, yes you can - that's what reverse-VNC is. A pretty good implementation is Gitso. [14:48] XiaolinDraconis: it can slow down the memory speed. [14:49] country0129, for your reference https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba#Manual_share_mounting [14:49] Darael, I stand corrected [14:49] i meant decrease memory [14:49] yeah it is just she finds it kind of choked up and confusing, the netbook edition that is [14:49] AnggaDj98, so will downloading music and movies lol [14:49] like very closed in [14:49] anyone about VBox and XP [14:49] Darael: Why should I choose the 10.04 LTS version over the newest 10.10 version?any advantage?? [14:49] XiaolinDraconis: thats for internet speed [14:49] I'll go look at that. Thanks, Icarus. [14:49] Everton are you online yet [14:50] AnggaDj98, im referring to disk access [14:50] nirazio: It'll be maintained for longer, and so it'll be longer before you'll have to upgrade or be unable to get support. [14:50] oh [14:50] must i use sudo in crontab or isnt it needed? [14:50] now my right click works but right popups dont come on on Mouse [14:50] induz: Virtualbox support is in #vbox [14:50] its right handedmouse [14:50] how do i start system monitor from the terminal [14:50] ePirat: Depends whose crontab you're using and whether the script will need root privs. [14:50] ePirat: Modify root's crontab if you want the commands run by root: sudo crontab -e [14:50] how can i join #vbox?/ [14:50] hmm, I have no sound input :\ [14:51] ePirat: why dont you run the sh in startup apps [14:51] induz, you probably need to be registered with nickserv first [14:51] induz: sign up in launchpad [14:51] induz: sorry wrong advice [14:51] lol [14:51] AnggaDj98, how? [14:51] i have signed up? [14:51] ajah, gnome-system-monitor [14:51] induz, /join #vbox [14:51] I have no sound input devices :\ [14:51] join #Vbox [14:52] how? [14:52] /join #vbox [14:52] put a / before that induz [14:52] type /join #vbox [14:52] including the / [14:52] make a new startup entry and type the terminal command there to run it [14:52] icarus-c: the question was: is there a way to lie monitor edid? :) [14:52] There is a package called sshfs that mounts a remote file system on your machine [14:52] AnggaDj98, but i cant use sudo there, or? [14:53] use gksu [14:53] AnggaDj98: if it's root's crontab, you don't need sudo. [14:53] yes [14:53] Hello i am trying to connect my two computers via ssh, till morning they were working fine, but suddenly whenever i try connecting them, from say machine A to machine B , after two minutes the terminal of machine A hangs and i am not able to type anything [14:53] but its much simpler [14:53] AnggaDj98: Whoops, that should have been directed at ePirat. [14:53] both of them run Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 [14:53] oh lol its ok [14:54] !gksudo [14:54] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) === ZNC_shookees is now known as shookees [14:54] *confused* [14:54] why is #C redirect to ##C? [14:54] no? [14:54] ePirat: Perhaps you should explain *exactly* what you're trying to do. [14:54] AnggaDj98: Freenode channel naming policy. [14:54] i want to run my irc server, services and webchat at startup [14:55] thanks [14:55] ePirat: As what account? Are any of those graphical applications? [14:55] ePirat: How did you get the irc server installed? It's much easier to use the packages from the repositories, as they should be set up to do stuff like that. [14:55] Hi. I would like to spy on users to see how well they know the bash command line. We have a bunch of ubuntu servers here. Does it exist something that I can use to see what the user sees? Something like stout redirector. Just watching .bash_history is not that great. [14:56] Pici, no graphical applications, and the webchat needs to be started as root [14:56] Darael, i dont want to reinstall the whole irc server now... [14:56] ePirat: If you'd like to use crontab, use sudo crontab -e, and set them to run at '@reboot' for the time. Then they will run as root at startup. [14:56] doesnt sudo work on startup applications menu? [14:57] Darael, Thanks! Should I pursue this with the gcc team or the ppa maintainers? [14:57] hi [14:57] it should just ask you your password when it starts [14:57] XiaolinDraconis: no only gksu works [14:57] jerryb: The gcc team are more likely to point you at the PPA maintainers than vice-versa. Go for the PPA maintainers and if it's better to talk to the GCC team they'll tell you. [14:57] Pici, how can i specify the path where they should be run? (i need to cd in the webchat directory or it wont start) [14:58] XiaolinDraconis: after it starts you are asked to unlock a keyring [14:58] ePirat: Write a script that does just that and run that in the crontabl. [14:58] Darael, ok -- I already opened a bug report on the package [14:58] AnggaDj98, and that doesnt work why? [14:58] XiaolinDraconis: sudo will prompt for a password on the command line, which you can't see when it's run from the graphical startup apps box. gksu does a graphical prompt. [14:58] Pici, thx [14:59] XiaolinDraconis: just try go alt-f2 and then type sudo something then you will get nothing [14:59] XiaolinDraconis: Lots of people run ubuntu on servers where there is no graphical environment. [14:59] XiaolinDraconis: idk why either [14:59] I run ubuntu from ssh for my site. It works very well. [14:59] XiaolinDraconis: Of course, if you set sudo to run without a password prompt then it would work, but you shouldn't do that. [15:00] i assumed the keyring would show up for him [15:00] Hello, I need help please , i've erased by mistake some important folder using "sudo rm foldername" is there a way to recover to lost files ? [15:00] Darael, yeah ive done that before [15:00] I can't play minesweeper on it, but that's okay because it was never the plan :) [15:00] Shay128: no [15:00] what dictionary are used in your ubuntu? [15:00] Shay128: Not really, sorry. [15:00] Shay128: sorry for yout lost [15:00] !undelete | Shay128 [15:00] Shay128: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [15:00] Hello, I carelessly deleted my BURG folder in /boot. Now the computer gives grub rescue> prompt and I have no rescue CD. Help? [15:00] Darael, made some irreversible decisions like that [15:00] FoxHelo: Depends which languages you have installed. [15:01] Hi, I created an encrypted partition on a usb stick with opensuse partitoner. It's using lucks. Now, when I plug in the usb stick to ubuntu, a popup comes out to ask a password for the encrypted volume, then mount the partition. everything works perfectly. I just would like to know which ubuntu packages handle this job? thanks. [15:01] tham: Do you have a seperate /boot partition? [15:01] Darael: i am chinese, but my default is language for ubuntu? [15:01] Darael: No, it's in the root [15:02] !cn | FoxHelo [15:02] FoxHelo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:02] tham: Good. Then you can do a series of commands that I'll just go and pastebin for you. [15:02] root partition is partioned in root format... now we know [15:02] nin ke yi something ke chong wen something something [15:02] Darael: Cool, thanks a lot! [15:03] how i make the ~ on german keyboard? [15:03] oh, we have chinese channel [15:03] ePirat: use character map [15:03] dui [15:03] tham: Hopefully http://paste.ubuntu.com/548541/ will work. [15:03] rs0832, [15:04] rs0832, you there? [15:04] Darael: Thanks, I'll try that [15:05] !WireShack [15:05] Mayank: ITYM wireshark [15:05] Darael: Tried that. It says "Unknown command 'linux'" The rest of the commands give the same error :/ [15:05] Mr. Icarus-c? You still here? [15:06] country0129, yea [15:06] !patience [15:06] 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/ [15:06] I couldn't get anything to work over there. [15:06] tham: Ah. Not sure, then. Sounds like grub has lost itself. You'll need a rescue CD or bootable USB stick. [15:06] Kept getting the "Usage" thingy when I tried the commands given. [15:06] Darael: any idea why i stop getting response from a remote machine running Ubuntu 10.10 in ssh? the terminal just seems to hang. and i cannot pass any commands [15:07] tham, they are meant to be grub config content rather than commands to execute [15:07] Darael: Hmm, will I be able to do it with a bootable USB of a previous Ubuntu version? [15:07] what are the advantages using locate in terminal rather then search it out? [15:07] ox3a, [15:07] icarus-c: Do you know any solution for this? [15:08] tham, that was meant to be typed in the grub menu i believe === xD is now known as ElNota [15:08] do you guys know how to install msynctool? [15:08] tham: Wouldn't advise it, but what you /could/ do, if it uses grub, is run an update-grub, which should add options for your main install to the USB-stick's grub menu. [15:08] tham: You'll need sudo for the update-grub, of course. [15:08] do you guys know how to install msynctool? [15:08] my right popup click is not working on right handed mouse [15:09] AnggaDj98, "locate" uses a index database. find search file recursively [15:09] also, I can not open tools on FireFox [15:09] do you guys know how to install msynctool? [15:09] icarus-c thanks [15:09] !info mysynctool [15:09] Package mysynctool does not exist in maverick [15:09] XiaolinDraconis, Hmm, do you know what I should type in the grub rescue> prompt?

Well im running memtest now. [15:09] tham, i believe that pastebin post was meant to be typed there [15:09] Darael: Thanks, I'll try to grab a bootable usb [15:09] royale1223: never heard of it. its not in the repios.. where is this name comming from? [15:09] right click works and popup works on other applications but not on Firefox [15:10] tham: You'll need one that's got an install to it, rather than a live-usb. The latter doesn't use GRUB, you see. [15:10] XiaolinDraconis, Yeah but it gives Unknown command error :( [15:10] ill google for ya see what i come up with [15:10] Dr_Willis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NokiaEvolutionSyncing/Opensync [15:11] how i specifyn that a file is executable [15:11] Darael: Will I be able to make such an installed USB if I have an ISO?

[15:12] tham: ...at which point it becomes a better bet to grab the alternate CD of the version you're trying to recover, burn that, and use the "rescue a broken system" option. [15:12] hey i have a question [15:12] sudo apt-get install multisync-tools [15:12] seems to work here.. lets see [15:13] Dr_Willis, i've searched all possible package pools [15:13] Nope it dont work. :) [15:13] Darael, Aah right, got the point [15:13] I'm HomeNetworking Ubuntu with Windows 7 Pro.

[15:16] ox3a, yes [15:16] tham, [15:16] set root=(hdX,Y) [15:16] [15:16] linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro [15:16] [15:16] XiaolinDraconis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:16] initrd /initrd.img [15:16] ok i have ubuntu 10.10 but its bad on my battery 2hrs only it gives me [15:17] i dont see a sun-java6- package in synaptic [15:17] VanZxHeaD: How do you know it's an Ubuntu problem? That's a genuine question, by the way - I don't get more than two hours on /my/ laptop with /any/ OS. [15:18] i did with windows 7 i was on like four hours [15:18] all i see is this openJDK runtime [15:18] I'll explain my problem again if anyone else wants to chip in: ever since Ubuntu 10.04 I think, the PC completely locks up every now and then (usually every 2 or 3 bootups) while booting, before X starts up and not always in the same place. sometimes its after the fsck, sometimes before. [15:18] !java | michaelgamble [15:18] michaelgamble: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [15:18] When I say locked up i mean completely locked up, the screen freezes, no leds on the keyboard light up, i have to hard reboot the PC. === ezraw1 is now known as ezraw [15:19] I dont have any other usb devices plugged in apart from a keyboard and mouse. can anyone else shed any light on it? [15:19] michaelgamble: Sun java doesn't seem to be in the Maverick repositories. OpenJDK should do what you need, though. [15:20] !partner | michaelgamble [15:20] michaelgamble: 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" » [15:20] XiaolinDraconis, The first set command works without a hitch, but for the second one it gives Unknown command 'linux' error [15:20] Darael: sun is in the !partner repo [15:20] IdleOne: Ah. Thanks. I had forgotten. [15:21] is there i can switch from ununtu 10.10 to the netbook edition straight from online without transfering to a micro sd card [15:21] Hi -- what is the cli command to list any ppa's I have subscribed to? [15:21] VanZxHeaD: You could install the ubuntu-netbook package, remove the ubuntu-desktop package, and then run "sudo apt-get autoremove"? [15:22] tham, maybe your vmlinuz file has the kernel id in it. ie: vmlinuz-kernel-yaydadad121 [15:22] tham, boot your iso and take a look' [15:22] I recently installed Kwalletmanager on Lynx. Worked fine on Hardy but now will only start by command line under root. I've changed the kwalletmanager and kwalletd permissions to allow user account to execute but no success. I can't find a log file anywhere to see what error may be generated. Anyone any ideas? [15:22] @Darael when i remove it how will i get netbook version cuz i dont have it [15:23] VanZxHeaD: The ubuntu-netbook package will install the netbook edition. [15:23] XiaolinDraconis, erm.. the problem is I only have a 10.04 ISO, would that be okay? [15:23] tham, yeah all your doing is verifying that /vmlinuz is there and labeled as such [15:24] @Darael automatically ?? cuz i dont have it at all im running on ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition [15:24] rs0832, ? [15:24] ox3a_, yes === T0wn3r is now known as ______xD [15:24] VanZxHeaD: ubuntu-netbook is a "metapackage" - it installs everything in the Netbook Edition. Then you remove the ubuntu-desktop package, which removes dependencies for the desktop edition. [15:24] XiaolinDraconis, Okay, I'm making a bootable usb now. After I boot from that what am I to do? [15:25] VanZxHeaD: Then "sudo apt-get autoremove" removes the things that are no longer required. [15:25] hi [15:25] tham, do what he said [15:25] tham, sudo update-grub [15:25] one [15:25] two [15:25] XiaolinDraconis, ah okay, thanks [15:25] @Darael oooooohhhh ... ok cool thank you im gonna give it a try [15:25] tham, then reboot and choose the new entry [15:25] how do u know wat format a file is? [15:25] XiaolinDraconis, okay [15:26] SN4K3, right click it and select properties [15:26] through terminal? [15:26] VanZxHeaD: No problem. If you want one command-line to do it all, that would be "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook ubuntu-desktop- && sudo apt-get autoremove" [15:27] I'm HomeNetworking Ubuntu with Windows 7 Pro. Can see and manipulate files on the Ubuntu machine from Windoze. I can see the Windoze machine from Ubuntu, but when I try to access the network, it displays a login screen, and when I enter the proper credentials, it flashes it again and won't give me access. I'd googled the problem, and other users had a problem with Windows Live Sign In Assistant. I had removed all the Windows Live Ess [15:27] hi === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar [15:28] XiaolinDraconis, through terminal? [15:28] hi i have a webcam driver downloaded from a website, what do i do with the files to install it? [15:28] country0129: There's a limit on the length of message you can post. You're getting cut off after "Windows Live Ess". [15:28] @Darael i just did it it did all this crazy stuff but all i gotta do is restart and im good ? === ovidyou is now known as Guest90592 [15:28] SN4K3, no with your mouse right click it and select properties [15:28] VanZxHeaD: Yup, pretty much. If it didn't give you any errors. [15:28] I had removed all the Windows Live Essentials, and it worked then. My wife thinks this is HER computer, and she made me put them back on. Any ideas of what the problem may be? [15:28] hi guys, i run ubuntu in dual-boot with windows...i have uninstalled some things in windows and now it seems that i screwed ubuntu up....when i try to enter Ubuntu it enters grub.....can somewone please help me fix it? === Guest90592 is now known as ovidio [15:29] VanZxHeaD: You may need to choose "ubuntu netbook edition" at the login prompt. [15:29] WHAT! [15:29] Patrunjel: Did you install Ubuntu with Wubi? [15:29] @Darael ok [15:29] The windows live essentials are... [15:30] Darael, yes i did...it's bad, i know, but i just wanna get some data, then i install it properly... [15:30] hi [15:30] lol [15:30] patrunjel install again with wubi [15:30] juniour, hi [15:30] can anyone please tell me how to compile .cpp with the terminal [15:30] juniour, i cant...i had stuff on ubuntu, i don't wanna loose them [15:30] rs0832 hi [15:31] Windows Live Essentials are a suite of applications fairly new to Windoze 7. Includes Windows Messenger, mail, etc. [15:31] Patrunjel: Just checking. You may have trouble getting back in, but it should be doable. [15:31] Patrunjel: Which release of Ubuntu did you install? [15:31] Do any of you use DirectX? [15:31] Hi, in opensuse, I can create encrypted LUKS partition with GUI tool opensuse partitioner. Are there any GUI partition tool to create LUKS encrypted partition instead of using command line cryptsetup? thanks. [15:31] r3dux, isn;t directx only for win? [15:32] what does ubuntu use to handle .bin file extraction [15:32] ratrunjel wt the error u getting [15:32] Darael, 10.04.I have acces to the Windows command-line, and a Backtrack live CD (to use as a command line) [15:32] XiaolinDraconis, Sorry to bother again, but I started the machine now with a USB and typed sudo update-grub in the terminal, but it gives an error. :S [15:32] leello: "sudo apt-get install build-essential && g++ /path/to/source.cpp". The first bit you need only the first time. [15:32] tham, error is? [15:32] rs0832 wt r u doing? [15:32] rs - yes it is, I've spent the last few MONTHS reading OpenGL, but it's hurting me, so I wanted to catch anyone in the same boat [15:32] michaelgamble, you dont extract bin files.. you have to set permissions to execute and then ./filename.bin in a terminal [15:33] juniour, nothing much,, just helping someone with an iso remaster [15:33] Patrunjel: Right. Go to the grub prompt for me, and type what you see at http://paste.ubuntu.com/548541/ - see if that works. [15:33] thank you [15:33] XiaolinDraconis, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

[15:34] ovidio: Check your speakers, first. Always worth doing! No other ideas from me, sorry. [15:34] XiaolinDraconis, Yes it's a live usb. How can I install ubuntu to it? [15:34] XiaolinDraconis, yea i want to do it with the terminal....

Currently I'm relying on the compose key, but that's ugly. [15:38] Darael: That did it, cheers [15:39] IFS functions of functions of funtions... [15:39] rmasters: the new Unity desktop does that.

[15:40] tham: Should do, yes. [15:40] rmasters: besides Unity I am not sure what else it could be.

[16:42] I tried removing the repo in question from my software sources and doing the upgrade again, but it came back with the same error. [16:43] should there be updates since last night, or are there none? I've had to comment out deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main and deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main as they still don't work [16:43] hi [16:44] cody, hi [16:44] hi [16:44] cody, you can try uncommenting them now and see if they work [16:44] cody: With the default repos you don't have update every single day...but most days...

[16:52] cody, but you can access it through your browser right? [16:52] Northwoods: involves editing /etc/sudoers [16:52] ok [16:52] thanks [16:52] when i tried first with gksudo i couldnt sudo anyhow anymore [16:52] cody: pastebin what happens when you apt-get update [16:52] what are the odds of ubuntu to crash if I change CPU and motherboard?

[16:55] Kartagis, sometimes, even going from amd to amd, (nvidia chipset to amd chipset) can stop an OS from booting. just have to try it. although, it might be a good idea to clone your drive and use the clone to try it [16:55] Kartagis, IMO theres probably a very low chance that you encounter problem, but back up your stuff incase your too lazy to redo everything [16:56] Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and after a few windows are open, it performs very sluggishly, usually taking at least 1 second to perform a request like switching focus. The computer only has 512 MB of RAM, but even Windows doesn't perform this sluggishly. [16:56] and I know, forgive me for using the W word so generously [16:56] Kartagis, if it crashed you just gotta put everything that was originally there back, i'm assuming your not changing the HDD [16:56] 512 megs isnt much [16:56] i'm aware [16:56] IsmAvatar: Which graphics card do you have? [16:57] cody: that suggests that either the target is down, or you've entered it wrong in your source list.. where did you get that repo?.. i'll try it [16:57] kk [16:57] bluezone I'm not changing the HDD [16:57] IsmAvatar, you are running the os right, not off the live cd? [16:57] I see many ppl come in here with problems with 10.10, but I think its mainly when they upgrade from an older version [16:58] Kartagis, then if it screws up you just have to put everything back (but i sincerly doubt that it will, ubuntu is probably the most stable linux i've been on) [16:58] KM0201, i dont think so.. [16:58] bluezone: indeed. Actually I had to install from USB, because the liveCD only got me to a initramfs terminal. I'm holding the USB flash drive in my hand right now, so I know it's not running off of it [16:58] KM0201, i have the same 2 repos and it updates fine.. i get a hit on both [16:58] rmdyeah, i just noticed so do i. [16:58] soreau: nVidia GeForce FX 5200, with proprietary drivers turned on. [16:59] the repo was with ubuntu when installed [16:59] IsmAvatar: Have you tried disabling desktop effects? [16:59] how to close an application with keyboard shortcut?? alt+f4 doesn't work here.. [16:59] soreau: yes, already did that. Still sluggish [16:59] IsmAvatar, is your mouse also preforming badly? [16:59] tas: usually Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Q === sam-_-_ is now known as sam-_- === Kuifje is now known as Kuifje111 [17:00] I had to use a text editor to see the question..... [17:00] IsmAvatar, k thanks [17:00] Im using Ubuntu 10.10 , what is the effect or package that allows you to move WINDOWS from one DESKTOP to another with the MOUSE ???? [17:00] IsmAvatar: Have you looked at running processes in system monitor to see if any are using too many system resources? [17:00] bluezone: not usually. Most of the time it performs fine unless I'm trying to load up an application or an application gets gray. [17:00] tas: CLI applications can be closed/stopped with Control+C [17:00] DysteR: synergy? [17:00] not always sadly :( [17:00] soreau: terminal `top` only reports xOrg seems to be using up 10% ram as the most demanding process. [17:01] IsmAvatar, can you do lspci and pastebin please? [17:01] cody: i have no logical explanation for your problem its working fine here [17:01] DysteR: for me I just drag a window from one to another, maybe compiz? [17:01] bluezone: certainly [17:01] hmmmm [17:01] no no I mean when you use [17:01] CTRL ALT DOWN [17:01] and you have that big wall and you can move them around with your mouse [17:01] DysteR, are you talking about windows off edge in one workspace appearing on the next? [17:01] cody: try removing it.. update your source list and make sure you get no errors... then add it back. [17:02] just type in KDE with COMPIZ its the first video on youtube [17:02] KM0201, thats what i told him to do..:) [17:02] bluezone: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DK5GaMaM [17:02] KM0201, apparently though, it didnt seem to have worked [17:02] I have compiz installed but many things are missing [17:02] cody: i don't see any typos in your source listing...which is usually the cause for that sort of thing [17:02] anyone can help with iptables? [17:02] DysteR: wow that's cool didn't even know I had that alt down again maybe compiz [17:02] DysteR: u mean like in 9.4 ..? [17:02] AUHEAUEHA [17:02] should i pastebin thesources? [17:03] I just began using Ubuntu 10.10 for around 2 weeks [17:03] Sacarlson theres all kinds of shorcuts [17:03] cody, i still have the one of this morning :) yesterday for you [17:03] like SHIFT CONTROL ALT TAB [17:03] to change desktops [17:03] kk [17:03] can someone help me with iptables i have couple of questions [17:03] cody: yeah, go ahead, but he posted the link you gave to your sources earlier [17:03] IsmAvatar, for now, do you know how to change desktop effects to none? [17:03] bluezone: as I said, I already did. [17:03] DysteR: http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=12012 [17:03] I wanna have that one ... Youtube there , KDE with Compiz , and you will see that the guy has kindy eye candy effects [17:03] cody: unless you've changed something since then [17:04] hey.. anyone knows about remote uploads? [17:04] well, it hasn't changed, so i won't, it'd be redundant to do so. [17:04] cody: ok thats fine [17:04] try to see if you can identify with compiz hes using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWLA5Fw5gAY [17:04] ciao [17:04] im sorro WICH [17:04] sorry [17:04] lol [17:04] DysteR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:04] roothack [17:04] does the rc.local file not work with ubuntu 10.10 ? [17:05] cody, i think i have a solution [17:05] i have some troubles using sendmail , anyone could help me? [17:05] IsmAvatar, well [17:05] yes? [17:06] rs0832: i think i just saw the problem a swell [17:06] KM0201, :) [17:06] IsmAvatar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [17:06] Is doing "checkinstall" the same thing as doing "make install" ? Will anything be different in the installation process? I'm compiling a program, but I'm not sure which to do. Will any of the instructions in the installation file be overlooked if I use checkinstall? [17:06] cody, you can try changing your nameservers [17:06] #roothack [17:06] ePirat: because those autostart scripts you set are for when you login graphically. root never does [17:06] cody, i didnt realise i had this problem too, before [17:06] IsmAvatar, ubuntu reccomends 1GB, and more compouter is constant going over 550 MB so i would assume that's the problem [17:06] Folks, really need help here. Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid. [17:06] as in changing the server from the main server? [17:06] rs0832: that isn't gonna change that repository i don't think.. since it's technically a vendor repo... it stays hsted w/ ubuntu [17:07] KM0201, not the repo [17:07] hmm. [17:07] maco: oh... autostart isnt very easy on ubuntu [17:07] it was workign for me on main... but i switched to some other one, and reloaded, and checked that repo, and its still the same (but all the others changed) [17:07] bluezone: d'oh, thanks for pointing that out. But it does seem like a little overkill that Linux would be so sluggish when Windows XP seems to perform fine. [17:07] KM0201, maybe the dns server hasnt got a proper entry for that particular domain name.. it is just a longshot, i know, but it might work [17:07] hey.. anyone knows about remote uploads? [17:07] ePirat: any idea whats not working onthe upstart script? [17:08] rs0832: its certainly worth a try [17:08] /irc.oceanirc.net/oce@n-music [17:08] cody, in a terminal, gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [17:08] KM0201, yep [17:08] maco: dont know... maybe you can write me a upstart script? (i am not so good a this things...) [17:08] IsmAvatar, yeah, i'm still looking for why, because i was able to run this on my celeron with 512 mB of ram, perhaps it was an earlier version though [17:08] ePirat: ive never done it before either [17:08] how to substract one text file from another? [17:09] Is doing "checkinstall" the same thing as doing "make install" ? Will anything be different in the installation process? I'm compiling a program, but I'm not sure which to do. Will any of the instructions in the installation file be overlooked if I use checkinstall? [17:09] Someone here wrote a working upstart script and can help me with it? [17:09] ePirat: I think it might still work but you can also use cron @reboot to start things at boot time [17:09] !checkinstall | Rypervenche [17:09] Rypervenche: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [17:09] IsmAvatar, if you don't want to add any ram i would say use Xubuntu lol [17:09] ePirat: http://upstart.at/2010/12/08/events-are-like-signals/ maybe help? [17:10] ciao [17:10] KM0201, haha i never knew you could do that, interesting :) [17:10] Is there a way to fake EDID sent from monitor. I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid. [17:10] ePirat: upstart is another solution I've just never used it [17:10] /irc.oceanirc.net/oce@n-music [17:10] KM0201: WHen it says wrapper, does that mean that it uses make install and does the extra things? [17:10] rs0832: still not convinced that will fix it though, because like i said, i updated mine to another server, but my source list still shows the same as his. [17:10] StaRetji, via xorg.conf [17:10] sacarlson: cron doesnt worked for me either... [17:10] KM0201, o.0 another server? [17:10] Rypervenche: did you read the link? [17:10] ePirat: why is that? [17:10] rs0832: yes, thats wha ti was saying [17:10] KM0201, you mean the local oneS? [17:10] hi, all, I need serious help! i can't install ubuntu, fedoro or even boot live backtrack, now i've downoloaded alternative ubu, boot it from usb, and i see somoething like boot\ vesamenu.c32 is not kernel image... [17:10] Whats the fastest way to install grub? [17:10] IsmAvatar, or the netbook edition, i guess anything listed there that you like the most xD [17:10] no, i changed to a completely differnt server.. starts w/ rtc [17:11] KM0201, oh no.. im talking about his dns server [17:11] sacarlson: dont know... can I pm you? [17:11] oh.. sorry.. i thought you were talking about his source server [17:11] bluezone: thanks for the advice. I'll look into it. But I think I'll add more ram, because I am a programmer, so I do tend to be resource-demanding. [17:11] ePirat: sure [17:11] KM0201, you are right, there are no local servers for the ubuntu extras [17:11] IsmAvatar, C ? [17:11] so if the resolv.conf says what it says as pasted in http://paste.ubuntu.com/548575/ would it be a problem? [17:11] Hello, i am planning to install Ubuntu server edition on a server, i just want to know if i can run vmware or any other virtualization software? or do i need desktop edition only for that? [17:11] KM0201, it's ok :) [17:11] rs0832: i finished reinstalling, but forgot to install grub, now i get an ERROR 15 on boot [17:11] gsfai, you can do it from a live cd , i guess [17:11] KM0201: Touché. Thank you very much :) [17:11] rs0832: which is kinda weird, it means that grub is there, but not configured [17:11] bluezone: primarily Java and Swing right now. Wish I could work with C all the time. [17:11] rs0832: i am from a live cd ;P [17:12] gsfai, try a grub-install from there [17:12] IsmAvatar, aww, i always need people to answer my C question lmao [17:12] cody, now in that file, [17:12] how can you not install grub doing the setup? [17:12] Does someone know with package you have to have or what is the effect that the guy is using in this video ??? [17:12] rs0832: yes but what device should i choose? [17:12] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWLA5Fw5gAY [17:12] DysteR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:12] yes? [17:12] I would start from scratch and try again [17:12] bluezone: I'm pretty good at C as well. You should check out ##c [17:12] ePirat: since its an irc server you might want it to start on networking rather than just at the right runlevel [17:12] rs0832: i have 4 partitions, XP, ubuntu, data (mostly backups) and swap [17:13] cody, change nameserver 192.168.2.1 to nameserver 208.67.222.222 [17:13] gsfai, hmm.. your boot would normally be the first one , i think [17:13] I unhook all my drives but the one I plan on installing ubuntu or whatever distro on [17:13] ok so sda1? [17:13] cody, if this doesnt work, feel free to change it back :) [17:13] when you get a minute, will u see if this make sense to you: http://pastebin.com/XtkUH9AL I get that when trying to run gnome on ubuntu 10.10 [17:13] StrangeWind: why would you do that? [17:13] cody, now save the file and try to update [17:13] gsfai: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). [17:14] did i just nickalert myself? [17:14] IsmAvatar, yeah they always make fun of me there :) [17:14] because its easier [17:14] gsfai: irc while tired.. done it myself [17:14] gsfai, :) [17:14] after the install I then hook up all the drives [17:14] bluezone: I know, C developers tend to get a little caustic [17:14] hello [17:14] StrangeCharm: then why are you here?.. it's not easier, because you're gonna have to go back throug, edit out grub2, manually add windows xp.. i'm not sure where you got its easier [17:14] rs0832: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). [17:14] i'm wondering how to run a gnome applet in ubuntu netbook remix? [17:14] rs0832: any ideas on this? [17:15] use ubuntu tweaku and then redo my grub [17:15] it sees all my drives and I dont loose any of my other OSes [17:15] StrangeCharm: if it was 'easier' it would be the recommended way to dual boot on Ubuntu.com [17:15] hmmm, no error with apt-get, now to try update for errors [17:15] where do compiled debs go on Ubuntu after you do checkinstall? What folder exactly? [17:15] Rypervenche: its probably in /home [17:15] gsfai, hmm [17:16] gsfai, do you know which is your boot partition? [17:16] Rypervenche, probably in home but wait ill try it with my program [17:16] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse ; if i add this to sources.list, will that overlap with my 10.04 packages? [17:16] i need that line to get java5 to 10.04 [17:17] rs0832: sda1 [17:17] jaunty and lucid may have the same packages in multiverse, will that addition cause any trouble [17:17] Hi everyone. My computer refuses to act right with Cube games. they keep going out of frequency [17:17] gsfai, ok 1 sec ill tell you what to do [17:17] looks like it worked, thanks! [17:17] thanks :) [17:17] Admin2005Marti [17:17] cody, great:) [17:18] xxiao: they will be built differently, I don't advise mixing packages between releases [17:18] KM0201, :) experience with a cruddy isp [17:18] rs0832: lol.. apparently.. never been there unfortunately [17:18] KM0201, yes and you dont want to.. trust me ;) [17:18] ActionParsnip: thanks. maybe it's safer to just grab those java5 packages to dpkg -i in this case? [17:18] rs0832: man, he didn't waste no time getting out of here after it was fixed [17:18] lol [17:19] KM0201, haha yea.. [17:19] how can I move the windows from one desktop to another from the WALL with the mouse ??? Ubuntu 10.10 [17:19] rs0832: its kinda weird though, because the installation said that it actively failed to install grub [17:20] rs0832: and asked me to try and do it myself if i think it suck [17:20] gsfai, o.0 yes really weird [17:20] anyone [17:21] ????????????? [17:21] DysteR: If you have wall enabled, you should be able to drag windows between viewports by moving them to the edge of the screen [17:21] also, none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [17:21] KM0201, your autocomplete needs some work [17:21] StrangeCharm: huh? [17:21] When I try to start gone in 10.10, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/XtkUH9AL [17:21] ciao === vorian is now known as bzip [17:21] gone = gnome [17:21] KM0201, you were naming me when you meant someone else [17:21] lol it was fgrep [17:21] no no , I want to be able to do it after you press CTRL ALT DOWN just clicking on the window and dragging it to different desktops [17:21] bluezone , KM0201: Well I just wanted to make sure it's not in the source code folder, because I want to delete that. I don't think I would be able to remove it with dpkg if I didn't have the deb package... [17:21] StrangeCharm: well, then you two need unique names..lol [17:22] DysteR: You can do it with Expo and rotate or wall but not with unfold cube (ctrl+alt+down) [17:22] Rypervenche: well, did you find it? [17:22] KM0201, yes, it's definitely my fault that someone else has a name that shares the first few characters with mine [17:22] StrangeCharm: agreed [17:22] just saw a guy doing it on youtube but I think he is using KDE [17:23] KM0201: I have seen a folder with a ton of debs that have been installed using dpkg, but I can't find it. And I know when I installed qq from a deb package it wasn't moved to that folder. [17:23] EXPO ??? lemme try [17:24] Hello, I installed a proprietary wireless driver since Ubuntu didn't have it by default. Now, the wireless card works when I type in "sudo depmod ", but when I restart the computer that driver is not loaded by default. How can I change this? [17:24] gsfai, ok [17:24] Allright thanX soreau [17:24] gsfai, shall we install? [17:24] rs0832: yep?! [17:25] gsfai, k.. first do fdisk -l in a terminal [17:25] LOL i didnt know you could do it this way [17:25] i did `fdisk` and then 'l' [17:25] gsfai, :) [17:25] ok so /dev/sda1 is the bootable [17:25] gsfai, and ubuntu right? [17:25] which is XP [17:26] gsfai, and ubuntu? [17:26] /dev/sda6 54818 60288 43945776 83 Linux [17:26] nope! [17:26] ubuntu isnt bootable [17:26] gsfai, ah ok [17:26] anyone know of an app that can read .epub files? [17:26] adv_: calibre [17:26] adv_: it can sync with kindles, nooks, etc. too [17:26] maco, other than that? [17:27] or a converter to pdf? [17:27] adv_: okular can. its the usual pdf reader in kde. id be surprised if evince couldnt too [17:27] rs0832: you should note that i actually get a grub error message, which means that grub is somewhere out there [17:28] gsfai, yes. [17:28] gsfai, can you pastebin the output of sudo blkid? [17:28] maco, evince cant [17:28] installed bind9 now i have no internet [17:28] not here obviously [17:28] adv_: try okular then [17:29] feanor2: thx for reply man, can you be more specific please. I tried googling for the solution, but could find any. Thx [17:29] rs0832: http://gsfai.pastebin.com/4R4CnaFx [17:29] maco ok thanks [17:30] rooks: if i cant alter the attributes on the nfs now, the OS would be unusable [17:31] gsfai, so we install it to sda6 [17:31] yep! [17:31] gsfai, so mount sda6 to /mnt [17:31] gsfai, sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt === coaboa||away is now known as coaboa [17:32] done [17:32] can anyone tell me on ubuntu server how to use wget to download a file off of sourceforge? everytime I try I just get the mirror link, not the actual file. [17:32] gsfai, k [17:32] gsfai, now sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda [17:33] gsfai, that will install grub and install the mbr on sda, which is your first hd [17:33] Installation finished. No error reported. [17:33] gsfai, great so now boot :) [17:33] why do some people use nouveau as a video card driver? what are the benefits? [17:33] *reboot [17:34] Praxi: just rename the file you download, it will be fine [17:34] anon33_, maybe their cards have problems with the other drivers [17:34] rs0832: well, it's made for nvidia video cards so... [17:34] rs0832: before i go, offtopic too, but take a look at this http://gsfai.pastebin.com/0rfRqi9V -- is this a common linux ''feuture'' ? [17:34] yea, and total crap compared to nvidias own driver [17:35] anon33_: some older chips like it, the proprietary driver may cause issues with hibernate / suspend [17:35] anon33_: if 3D accelleration is not needed, but suspend is desired, the open driver is obviously the better choice [17:35] gsfai, remember you have mounted the drive to /mnt [17:35] hi. r updates very important or should i only get them if i have a problem? [17:35] cptblood: not in all cases [17:35] when you need vdpau, it is [17:35] :p [17:35] gsfai, you can use umount to unmount it [17:35] rs0832: yeah but its kinda weird, ls showed nothing, until i cd'ed out and back in [17:35] Hello, I installed a proprietary wireless driver since Ubuntu didn't have it by default. Now, the wireless card works when I type in "sudo depmod ", but when I restart the computer that driver is not loaded by default. How can I change this? [17:36] cptblood: if the only use of the PC is word processing (like in an office) its not needed is it.... [17:36] Amtrask, add it to modprobe.d [17:36] hi, i want to extract all the figures of a pdf file to single PDF(!)s each figure in one file. how can i do that ? pdfimages doesn't do the trick [17:36] hi. what is the most popular mmorpg on for linux? [17:36] ofc not, but why cant the nvidia driver be integrated instead? [17:36] anyway reboot time! [17:36] gsfai, yes.. no idea about that though.. but if it doesnt give you trouble, dont worry bout it [17:36] cptblood: its proprietary, so cannot be included [17:36] celtthunder thank you! [17:36] gsfai, good luck [17:36] !ot | hblount [17:36] hblount: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:37] ActionParsnip: but nouveau is making it harder to install nvidia's own now [17:37] Hi. I am trying to use the live CD (v10.10) but it just hangs. No error msg, can just see a purple background and the cursor. Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? [17:37] cptblood: never had an issue myself, you can always remove it and you will use the nv driver, you can then install the proprietary as you wish [17:38] langvann, there might be some uid-login issues that prohibit you from properly transferring stuff, your nfs might not know about all of your gid/uid and user names, which will make all things break [17:38] ntsrtrs, just wait, it is slow [17:38] is there a way to specify which distro you want to use when using 'apt-get install'? [17:38] ntsrtrs: use the boot option, nomodeset in the F6 menu [17:38] ActionParsnip: then i need a smart way of removing it, always puzzles me [17:38] anon33_ you have to edit your sources [17:38] anon33_: I'm guessing you mean desktop. not distro. Ubuntu will always be the distro [17:38] rooks: I'm not sure how to fix it. Quite annoying really. [17:38] I hate this. [17:38] I have been waiting about 20 minutes now. I haven't been presented with any any menu at all... [17:39] cptblood: use software centre or apt-get etc [17:39] ActionParsnip: i apologize. i mean saying 'natty' when i'm really using 'maverick' [17:39] thank you ActionParsnip that worked (renaming the file) [17:39] only on cli, can u gimme the apt-get cmd? [17:39] ntsrtrs: when you see the stick man screen, press space bar [17:39] langvann, just tar whole root, ftp it to server, and untar it there, it will work, it did so for me [17:40] anon33_: then ask in #ubuntu+1 natty isn't supported or discussed here. If you want natty, you will need to download it and instal it [17:40] rooks: I dont doutb it will work. But If i cant change permissions on the nfs, i wont be able to boot the OS. [17:40] ActionParsnip: What stick man screen? This is the first screen I have seen since being presented with 'boot from cd'. thanks [17:40] No creating files, no adding users, no nothing [17:40] langvann, lemme check on what perimissions i have on nfs [17:40] Praxi: np bro, you can use the -o switch (I think) to auto-rename the file ;) [17:41] I have a network attached scanner, but unfortunately xsane doesn't know where to find it ( [17:41] ntsrtrs: when you see a screen with a man and a keyboard at the bottom of the screen [17:41] ntsrtrs, press escape.. does any error show up? [17:41] *bump* i want to extract all the figures of a pdf file to single PDF(!)s each figure in one file. how can i do that ? pdfimages doesn't do the trick [17:41] The scanner is a Samsung integrated printer; how do I get xsane (or ssomething similar) to use it [17:41] Araneidae: can you ping the printer? [17:42] Hellow :) [17:42] hey guys, quick q. i think i missed something on apt. i have desktop edition -- multitouch laptop -- i want to try out unity with touch screen. apt'd ubuntu-netbook and unity. it loads to the wall paper and only alt control delete works (and alt ctrl f1 sudo gdm restart) [17:42] langvann, i have this entry in /etc/exports → /srv/nfs 10.1.0.11(rw,async,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) lappy.lan(rw,async,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) [17:42] ActionParsnip, sure, it works perfectly well [17:42] I can print too ;) [17:42] Have pressend Esc but it does nothing. The cursor still keeps alternating between a pointer and the loading icon [17:42] Araneidae: what model? [17:42] I tried `xsane http://printer` but that didn't work [17:42] ntsrtrs, press ctrl - alt - f1 [17:42] CLX-3170 [17:42] how can I see the sample size of an mp3 file on linux? I know dbpoweramp does that nicely on windows, but on Linux I only seem to be able to see sample rate... [17:42] Samsung [17:43] any ideas?

[17:44] Thank you ActionParsnip, I will try that out! [17:44] ntsrtrs, does any error show up with ctrl alt f1? [17:44] rs0832: It is now writing error codes to the screen. 'SQUASHFS' then some codes. Do you know what this means? thanks [17:44] ActionParsnip, http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tjwatt/suldr [17:45] how do i disable the middle-click emulation when i push both mouse buttons? [17:45] ntsrtrs, can you give me a bit more of the error? [17:45] is there a good place to paste images, like pastebin?

[17:47] ActionParsnip, that's a back end; do I somehow tell xsane to use it? [17:48] Or do you think I need to try and find more up to date versions of my drivers and update them? [17:48] Araneidae: once you get the backend going, xsane should be ok [17:48] rs0832: No. Should I check the iso file or the CD? How do I go about this in Win7? thanks [17:49] I am trying to setup a newsletter server and I was hoping some one could point me to a ubuntu centered tutorial [17:49] ntsrtrs, you can download an md5 checker (md5summer.org) and check the iso.. and burn the disc at slower speed [17:49] ActionParsnip, sorry to be dim, but I can't see which package carries sane-xerox_mfp, and I don't seem to have it installed yet [17:49] Araneidae: sounds like you have a direction to run with :) [17:50] ntsrtrs, check the iso and the cd once you reach the boot screen (the test disc for defects option) [17:50] Araneidae: seems to be libsane [17:50] ntsrtrs, i have to go now, so good luck... if you still have a problem, feel free to come back to the channel and ask :) [17:50] or probably libsane-extras; don't have that one [17:51] Araneidae: dpkg -S sane-xerox_mfp shows you what package a file is in [17:51] Only if I have the package installed ... [17:51] rs0832: thanks for your help [17:51] ntsrtrs, :) y/w [17:51] where should I save a package temp date like images cache? [17:51] anyone have ideas on those console errors, what they might mean? http://imagebin.org/130082 [17:51] Drat. Wasn't in libsane extras either [17:51] ActionParsnip, you don't happen to know how mencoder can show the sample size of an mp3 file? I can't find an entry in the manual... http://tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net/docs/mplayer-man.html [17:52] Also I don't see many analysis options to be honest. [17:53] hi, I want to add VPN connection in gnome-network-manager but button "Add" is inactive. Could anbyody help? [17:54] how can i get my network sensors to work? im trying to get my conky to work [17:54] im on a laptop [17:54] rooks: Hey, it works [17:54] is there a channel for gaming in vmware? [17:55] with 3d acceleration enabled, screen is flickering, withoug game does not start :( [17:56] Fr4gg0r: I Think you should just use wine [17:56] Linux isnt really an os to game in [17:56] hi. could anyone please tell me how to install postgresql9.0 on ubuntu 8.04, i could not find apt- package for the same. [17:56] pep`: mencoder -list-properties filename [17:56] alle games are made for windows, and will always - no matter what - work better in windows [17:56] try play on linux [17:56] langvann: disagree, Doom3 runs bautifully. Penumbra and UrbanTerror are native and great [17:57] !ppa | mpgutta [17:57] mpgutta: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [17:57] oh thanks you! that was not in the man it seems... [17:57] mpgutta: someone may have packaged it for Hardy [17:57] Mannyuel: there is an #conky channel, there quite good at getting things to work [17:57] hi [17:57] ActionParsnip: if a game can run natively on linux. This is true. [17:57] pep`: http://linux.die.net/man/1/mencoder and read [17:57] langvann, sweet :) [17:57] their too [17:57] langvann: postal2 runs great too :) [17:58] they're rather :| [17:58] But if a game is made natively for windows. You will always have to change hw adresses, this will make you loose performance. [17:58] ActionParsnip: But it runs BETTER on windows. [17:58] langvann, be careful on whom you give that share, since its totally unsecure [17:58] langvann: in some cases games can run better [17:58] Hello everyone [17:58] hi [17:58] ActionParsnip: How? [17:58] langvann: but sure, hardcore gamers are better dualbooting [17:58] rooks: I know, i have a nazi firewall up [17:59] ActionParsnip, it's under "PLAYER OPTIONS (MPLAYER ONLY)", I guess that was why I didn't find it, since you talked about mencoder... [17:59] hi ppls [17:59] and the internal network is the only one able to access the share [17:59] langvann: if some games use 100% proper opengl stuffs and such they generally run better, counterstrike runs better under linux than windows [17:59] HI [17:59] I AM NEW HERE [17:59] nifty [17:59] !caps [17:59] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:00] pep`: (17:44:14) ActionParsnip: pep`: mencoder can tell you ...Thought it was quite clear [18:00] TOO MANY PEPOLE BE HERE [18:00] !offtopic [18:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:00] anyway to turn off bot messages? [18:00] mic: kill the caps please [18:00] installed ubuntu on laptop but wireless is not working out of the box. Do I need to install something? [18:00] no it wasn't, sorry :) you specifically said mencoder, and it's not, it's mplayer. I installed mencoder, and now I'm installing mplayer. [18:00] Pawmaniac: the bot is triggered by users [18:00] ok [18:01] livingdaylight: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will be shown your wireless chip. You can use the product line to find guides [18:01] mic: thanks [18:01] * NotAnonymous test [18:01] just tired of all the ... has joined ubuntu messages... [18:01] Pawmaniac, you can turn that off in your client. [18:02] pep`: the command you need is an option in mencoder, I then found the option for you in the man page of mencoder. Mplayer may be a dep of the install but its not hugely needed for what you want [18:02] -list-properties is not an MEncoder option [18:02] I am trying to setup a newsletter server and I was hoping some one could point me to a ubuntu centered tutorial [18:02] I tried it :) [18:03] Ryein: try a linux centered one if u cant find one for U [18:03] i looked again and did not see an option for that [18:04] morning-erm, afternoon guys. Anyone need any general troubleshooting? [18:04] pep`: try: mencoder -msglevel identify=6 filename [18:04] Pawmaniac: what client are you using? [18:05] xchat for gnome [18:05] Ryein: I'm not sure we know what a newsletter server is, perhaps if you explained better we could provide better help. [18:05] im lazy and wanted a gui [18:05] does anyone in here uses NQuake ??? === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [18:05] Pawmaniac: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417131 [18:05] Pawmaniac: but xchat-gnome? go w/ the full xchat client..lol [18:06] but I want to learn bash [18:06] Pici i want to be able to send out newsletters i hope to have a lot of subscribers [18:06] and thanks, i will get the full version [18:06] ActionParsnip: i found this ppa for Lucid and Maverick at https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql but couldnt get one for Hardy [18:06] Pawmaniac: if you are happy with what you have, keep it [18:06] no, that's not right at all, it's expecting a video file, and returns a video file too... [18:06] ActionParsnip, I've been digging around, and it seems I do have sane-xerox_mfp installed ... but it's a library, which is why I couldn't run it. Unfortunately I haven't got a clue *how* to use it; can you give me any pointers, please? [18:06] nevermind, I will figure this out. [18:07] Araneidae: no idea, I only buy HP which work flawlessly [18:07] now to remove mplayer and mencoder... [18:07] I have a remote ubuntu server, I did restart it but now I can not login to it using ssh or telnet even both are installed, I can ping it. is there another way to login to it remoty? [18:07] ActionParsnip: well some work flawlessy :) It always pays to research. [18:07] mpgutta: no other ppa has it? [18:07] Ah. And the /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf file only lists usb devices, which is unpromising [18:08] rooks: Holy CRAP. how much is there to copy ?:P This should take a while. [18:08] Dr_Willis: always, its all I buy though. Good support gets my moneys [18:08] cutout: not that ive seen. Unless you got some sort of web interface to admin it. [18:08] langvann, du -H on your from machine will give you some idea :) [18:08] ActionParsnip: i am impressed with this $99 wireless laser 'brother' i got a few mo back. [18:08] ActionParsnip: it seems Martin Pitt is the guy who maintains postgresql packages for ubuntu [18:09] Dr_Willis: even apache is installed but it won'y start unless I login to it!! [18:09] ActionParsnip: from his link i cant find for Hardy [18:09] cutout: you got some bigger issues going on then im guessing. [18:09] mpgutta: ubuntu doesnt have per-package maintainers [18:09] mpgutta: then i'd hit him up to see whats what. [18:09] Dr_Willis: the problem seems scripts in init.d start on login not on boot!! [18:10] has anyone else had an issue under chrome where closing a tab causes all instances of flash in other times to die? [18:10] Dr_Willis: if I login to it all these services will start [18:10] ActionParsnip: so what are the otherways i can install postgres 9.0 on ubuntu 8.04? [18:10] Dr_Willis: do you have any idea how to fix this? [18:11] Anybody know how to connect to a network scanner? [18:11] Sorry, network image scanner? [18:11] How do you do it in windows? [18:11] Windows? [18:11] Does anyone know how to get a key to be continually pressed down? I have a game that I need to "sneak" around which normally i have to hold the button but thats getting old lol. I want to be able to toggle it [18:11] You've had it connected in windows right? [18:11] No [18:11] slide: put something heavy on it [18:12] lol [18:12] Oh. Then google: model number + linux [18:12] i thought about that but figured it too ghetto [18:12] anyone have ideas on those console errors, what they might mean? http://imagebin.org/130082 [18:12] ricoshady: thats a debug [18:12] wine? [18:12] is there sth. "like" timemachine http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/time-machine.html for ubuntu? === share is now known as Guest34462 [18:13] also is there a way to move a window from monitor to monitor(dual monitors) from your panel? [18:13] mpgutta: not sure dude, Hardy dies in April so an upgrade may be in order [18:13] ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/548588/ [18:14] or force programs to open on your default monitor? [18:14] ActionParsnip: only on desktop.... [18:14] Looks like sane-net(5) might be closer to the mark... [18:14] Pawmaniac: Install the drivers for your video card. [18:14] Looks like intel 3945 wifi but don't know where to go from here ActionParsnip [18:14] ActionParsnip: ok sure. i will try that. [18:14] did so along time ago. [18:14] Pawmaniac: i think devilspie can do that, you can confiure it easier with gdevilspie on googlecode [18:14] thats not the problem [18:14] ActionParsnip: so you mean no support for 8.04 from april? [18:14] hello is there a channel for ubuntu server?? [18:15] mpgutta: on desktop, yes [18:15] its that i cannot always use that second monitor [18:15] nowisn: #ubuntu-server [18:15] nowisn: #ubuntu-server [18:15] !server [18:15] mpgutta: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Ubuntu_8.04_LTS_.28Hardy_Heron.29 [18:15] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

(I don't need two ubuntu installations) [18:15] Pawmaniac: The tool for you grapichs card will allow you to set up twinview, allowing you to move windows between your monitors seamlessly [18:15] mpgutta: 2013 [18:15] mpgutta: unless you installed hardy erver [18:15] *server [18:15] would like to know how i can save all my data from a windows home server thats causing great grief over to ubuntu server? [18:16] mrFrog123: if you delete the old isntalls partitions and rerun update-grub - it should just show the 1 [18:16] i can already do so if i can actually see whats on that monitor, which i cannot always use. [18:16] mrFrog123: you can simply remove the old kernel package [18:16] Dr_Willis: ok how do I do that? [18:16] nowisn: use putty on windows to sftp it to ubuntu?

Then use the tool to set up your primary monitor, or disconnect the monitor you cant use. [18:17] nowisn: local or remote ? [18:17] mpgutta: i'd contact martin, see what he says [18:17] langvann, its a rackspace cloud server [18:17] Pawmaniac: do u have an nvidia card? [18:17] ActionParsnip: thank you so much! [18:18] the problem is that sometimes a window will open on my second monitor, which is off, then i can use that window [18:18] no ATI [18:18] i have CCC [18:18] ati's support on linux sux i heard [18:18] it does! [18:18] Dr_Willis: I see System->Administration->Disk Utility, but how do I know which partition to remove? [18:18] vectory: yes, but its evolving [18:18] livingdaylight: ok if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you find access points? If you run: rfkill list is the wireless blocked in any way? [18:19] can anyone please tell me how to compress files with the terminal [18:19] CCC isn't too bad works about as good as it does on windows [18:19] tar czvf FILE [18:19] leello: ^ [18:19] actually crashes less === bzip is now known as vorian [18:19] Anyone know how I can tell which partitions have windows or ubuntu on it (I have two ubuntu installs and need to delete the correct one) [18:19] leello: http://www.thedumbterminal.co.uk/php/knowledgebase/?action=view&id=3 [18:19] I wish the gchat window had a smaller "minimum" size. I want to make it thinner as 2 windows share my screen. [18:20] data is on a pc in the base running whs, would like to leave the hardware config as is as there is about 3 terabytes on data on the spanned drives, do i need to ftp all that data somewhere else, cause if i install ubuntu it'll just wipe off the drive [18:20] mrFrog123: sudo fdisk -l [18:20] mrFrog123: sudo parted -l will tell you [18:20] thanks a lot [18:20] mrFrog123: shows type of [18:20] mrFrog boot from one and then you will know. oh ActionParsnip I'm going to try that. [18:20] mrfrog123: or use gparted to label them [18:21] hello everyone. I have a problem with my sound. I can't hear anything. any help [18:21] Ok I ran some of those - how do I know which linux partition is which? [18:21] !sound | abe [18:21] abe: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:21] abe: check soundlevels with alsamixer [18:21] ActionParsnip: i have run "uname -a" to know whether i am running server or desktop. here is the output "Linux ialeia 2.6.18-xen #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 06:40:50 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux" so is this server or desktop? [18:22] abe: install alsamixergui, check if unmuted first [18:22] mrFrog123, I see that just shows what kind of partition it is. You can boot from one. How else? Look for a file you know is on one. [18:22] @vectory and DasEi I don't have alsa install in 10.04, I will install now [18:22] maybe I should just go buy two 2 terabyte drives and move all the data over to them internally as i have extra satas [18:22] DasEi, abe: u dont need fui for that [18:22] gui* [18:22] anyone have any issues with 3G (3) dongles. I can only get it to work if i run vbox and then select usb. then in ubuntu it shows up. [18:22] nowisn, nice to get the eq you want. [18:23] is there a way down/up the usb ports [18:23] Ok I think I know which partition to delete - but I need to do it from my other ubuntu installation. [18:23] sam___: thats weird.. You installed what os/drivers in vbox? perhaps the thing needs some firmware uploaded to it befor it works. [18:23] Then how do I update grub or whatever? [18:23] mrFrog123: boot the OS you want to keep. use update-grub [18:23] have not installed the 3g in vbox, just use it to access port [18:24] ／whois sam___ [18:24] am in 10.4 - basic [18:24] sam___: use usb-modeswitch [18:24] Dr_Willis: So I just run "sudo update-grub"? [18:24] who [18:24] mpgutta: not sure about the xen kernel.If you have a desktop with a mouse pointer and an X server and desktop icons, you are running the desktop OS [18:25] ActionParsnip: am noob. what will this do for me? [18:25] vbox os is xp [18:25] Hi [18:25] heihei [18:25] Actisudo iwlist scan shows wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is downonParsnip, [18:25] try the comand [18:26] ActionParsnip, sudo iwlist scan shows wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [18:26] Can anyone suggest the best way of recovering some files from my previous XP installation? I installed Ubuntu on the wrong partition accidentally (but it is a bad install and won't boot). I am now running the live CD and realised I have lost all my music and pics etc! [18:26] and you name is shorter [18:26] sam___: makes it appear as a modem, manufacturers have made windows users lives easier by having a storage of the driver on the stick which auto installs then the device flips to being a modem. Linux doesn't have this as it's not windows but a tool has been made to make the switch [18:26] Hi [18:26] mrFrog123: yes. I would boot to the OS you want to keep.. run sudo update-grub, or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' be sure THAT os installs grub to the mbr . then reboot. make sure it works.. then you can delete the pattitons for the other OS. [18:26] Activex in ubuntu... Am I out of luck? [18:26] I need some help related to Ubuntu ...? [18:26] ActionParsnip: we have hosting with slicehost. so probably it should be server. [18:26] is there any way to install ubuntu server while keeping data on those drives? [18:26] CoolDude, what's the problem? [18:26] craigbass1976: wine supports some activex/directx stuff i thought. [18:26] livingdaylight: ok, reboot and login, then run: dmesg | less and read the boot, see if you get any errors or warnings with the wireless chip etc [18:27] Ok thanks everyone I'll give it a try [18:27] ActionParsnip: cool, i have downloaded. how do i use or is it auto? [18:27] Dr_Willis, I've read mixed reviews; didn't know if there were some secret "sure fire" way [18:27] i have Ubuntu 10.4 and want to upgrade it to 10.10 64-Bit...? is it possible ? [18:27] craigbass1976: tjeres Nothing surefire about windows. [18:27] CoolDude: 32bit to 64bit -> you reinstall. [18:27] CoolDude, No; reinstall. Two different animals [18:27] so I messed up a part in my install of ubuntu 10.10. my task bar at the bottom of the screen that displays all the open windows. How can I restore that function to a working status? [18:27] sam___: I'd read some guides. You can get started by running: lsusb then websearch for the 8 character hex iD generated for the modem to find guides [18:28] !panelreset [18:28] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:28] No other way through upgrade...? [18:28] lwizardl: ^ [18:28] CoolDude: you will need to reinstall to change arch (32bit to 64bit) [18:28] CoolDude: you dont upgrade from 32bit to 64bit.. plain and simple. [18:28] brb. testing Diskless ubuntu. [18:29] ok :( [18:29] Hi. Can anyone recommend a way to recover files deleted during a Ubuntu install please? [18:29] ntsrtrs: use your backups [18:29] Then i better continue with 32 Bit alone , I've 6 GB Ram and all of it , i am not able to use ..... [18:30] CoolDude: install the PAE kernel and you can use up to 64Gb RAM in 32bit [18:30] ActionParsnip: unfortunately my back is incomplete - any other suggestions?! I accept I may lose some data... [18:30] can i boot natty narwhal from USB? [18:30] I thought that a PAE kernel was installed by default under 32-bit installs? [18:30] ntsrtrs: could try foremost [18:30] CoolDude: i always use 64bit - even on machines with less then 4gb of ram [18:30] ^ same here [18:30] oh wow, the full xchat is a lot better [18:30] OK [18:30] PhonicUK: it is in Lubuntu, the normal ubuntu desktop uses generic only [18:31] the netbook remix seems to as well [18:31] Let me try that and tell you [18:31] PhonicUK: only if you have 4gb of ram [18:31] I installed it on my Eee (512MB) and it installed a PAE kernel [18:31] PhonicUK: if you try to run a PAE kernel on a system thats over 5-6 years old, itll just kernel panic [18:31] PhonicUK: so thatd be an icky thing to use as the default everywhere [18:31] I suspect its just used on all systems that support it then [18:32] this is the original Eee 701 I installed it on [18:32] I have installed Virtual Box: Host OS Ubuntu 10.10 - Guest OS Windows XP. No problem so far.How can I access USB devices (scaners, printer, and others) from the guest os, windows XP.If this is not possible in the open source version maybe there is another virtualisation software program. [18:32] ActionParsnip: thanks - will give it a try [18:32] nirazio, none of them allow it as far as I know [18:32] nirazio: the OSE version cant.. the version you download from their web site can. [18:32] nirazio: you need the closed source vbox for USB support [18:32] only the closed source version of VBox [18:32] OK [18:33] i have 190 files in /boot/grub, but no menu.lst [18:33] whats wrong? [18:33] gsfai: how about grub.cfg? [18:33] gsfai, do you have a grub.conf? [18:34] gsfai: menu.lst was only in grub1. if youve got that many files, sounds like grub 2 [18:34] nope, none of those three [18:34] yes its grub2 [18:34] :O no menu.lst? so where are the configurations? [18:34] Will universal usb installer work properly with 11.04 alpha? [18:34] gsfai: those 190 files.... [18:34] ActionParsnip, remind me please? dmsg grep? [18:34] gsfai: grub2 doesnt use menu.lst [18:35] livingdaylight: dmesg | less [18:35] gsfai: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* are where you set stuff [18:35] gsfai: then you run "sudo update-grub" and a new /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generated [18:35] Halik: all natty talk is in #ubuntu+1 [18:35] sorry, thx [18:35] rooks: It booted okey, until i got a kernel panic. "Not syncing" [18:35] maco: i just installed grub, but it gets me into a single grub> shell [18:36] gsfai: to add boot options, you add them in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub as maco stated [18:36] i tried booting from there, but since i've never used it before, it dropped to a busybox [18:36] ActionParsnip, what am I looking for? [18:36] !grub2 | gsfai [18:36] gsfai: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[18:37] Hi. [18:37] Is there any way I can set Mutter as the default window manager? [18:37] I have it installed and I could run mutter --replace at startup, but that doesn't seem like the best way to do it.

[18:39] langvann, do you have your initrd and kernel images in ur tftp server range? [18:40] Pawmaniac: depends on the emulator. [18:40] rooks: I forgot, dhcp changes my IP, its not static [18:40] Pawmaniac, generally depends :P [18:40] I need to open up for my entire internal network [18:40] Does anyone know of a good video editing software for Ubuntu which allows you to add mosaics? [18:40] Pawmaniac: when my C64 emulator can run at 10,000x normal C64 speed... its hard to really worry about if windows can do 10,002x speed :) [18:40] dolphin mainly [18:41] Pawmaniac: you would have to just try it and see. Thats a very new and work in progress emulator. [18:41] How can I install a package from maverick to hardy?

[18:46] hariykeyboard: sudo fdisk -l [18:46] hariykeyboard: or install sfdisk if you like it. [18:47] langvann, also turn on debugging at whatever and see if your machine pulls files from tftp, hooks up to nfs, etc [18:47] hi. when i run "ifconfig eth0 up" i get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" anyone knows whats the problem? [18:47] leello: take a look at dnsmasq [18:47] i have already tried the ip and gateway thing and win 7 refused to recognize it [18:48] leello: who are you talking too (put nick)? both ? [18:48] Dr_Willis, ah yes, but liveuser is not in the sudoers file and the incident will be reported. Is sfdisk another program I have to ferry to a computer running a live cd in order to list my drive in bash?

[18:50] Dosent Chrome have its own built in Flash these days? or was that optional? [18:50] well, chromium daily ;) [18:51] complete, my guess is you should use chrome ;-) [18:51] I have an older imac (first intel model) that i'm happy with but I'm thinking about getting a new desktop for work. anyone have any suggestions for ubuntu friendly, imac form factor alternatives? I haven't been looking at hardware for a long time. i'm considering the dell all-in-one... [18:51] gsfai: grub2 has been used for some time now.... [18:51] gsfai: your issue ? [18:51] menu.lst was the world's best invention ever [18:51] Dr_Willis, chrome has it, chromium does not (I think) [18:51] yet they threw it away [18:51] KM0201: thats was cool what you did.. i bet there a list of irc commands. [18:51] gsfai: no it was not.. it was a hack and nasty in many ways. [18:51] Pawmaniac: what did i do? [18:51] gsfai: time to learn grub2. [18:52] you could even edit it under windows [18:52] now -- no [18:52] gsfai: get over it? [18:52] gsfai: .. [18:52] you need to run update-grub, mkconfig, mkshit and a few other programs [18:52] and end up on a grub> shell === hadeS_ is now known as Guest96968 [18:52] KM0201: "* KM0201 agrees with ActionParsnip " === claudia is now known as ClaudiaSubstitut [18:52] Pawmaniac: oh... i know what you're talking about... type this "/me your message" w/o quotes [18:52] * Dr_Willis happily boots his ISO files from grub2..

[18:53] ell: ask your question, if we can help, we will [18:53] oh [18:53] hi all, after install 10.04 my sound is not working. I tried to do the troubleshooting on '!sound' and nothing [18:53] because it boots into a grub> shell [18:53] i;l be backl in a bit [18:54] ell: Patience ... patience ... [18:54] hey, I've run into a problem related to semi-outdated Intel GMA drivers, how do I update them? i know they are x.org. [18:54] gsfai: well what did you do to cause that? [18:54] How can I make a boot able dvd on Ubuntu? By which I mean when booting from the disc I want the OS to startup not the installer for such. Like UBCD4Win [18:54] gsfai: grub2 can be tricky, but if you need spport,describe your problem and get help [18:54] ... install 10.10 [18:54] ok how do I stop this from working. while I am using the mouse if you touch anywhere else on the touchpad with a second finger the mouse jumps all the way to the edge of the screen. [18:54] gsfai: over wubi? [18:54] the thing that is going wrong is Starcraft 2 through Wine. [18:55] Ok, anyone have experience installing 10.10 on a Gigabyte P55A-UD3? === ClaudiaSubstitut is now known as claudia [18:55] cody: does SC2 run in wine? [18:55] @Sub_Zero get do you want dual booting? Do you want to install it in Windows? VMware is great to put ubuntu inside windows [18:55] DasEi: i am trying to fix this damn box since yesterday, and all i come across are more and more problems, now i have completely bricked it, i think i cant ruin anything in a read-only CD-rom, so i think that i have broken everything that i could [18:55] it runs, but isn't playable past the menu, in the actual game, it's all black [18:56] other than the menu icons and map [18:56] gsfai: if you liked grub legacy you can do it manualy the same just a different file /etc/grub.d/40_custom [18:56] abe I don't actually want it to install Windows anywhere, Just boot the Windows OS from the CD. [18:56] gsfai: well, the problem runnng from the cd all the time, eventually you'll brick your cd drive to. [18:56] So it's nice and portable [18:56] DasEi: and i used to run a nice and clean grub, with one file called menu.lst, which was easy as hell to edit and stuff. Now i have to edit like a few thousand files. And come across an error. [18:57] cody: could be a hardware issue.. I have a very old laptop which has the same problem with SC2 through Wine. However, with mirrored settings on my desktop with much better hardware, game runs perfectly through wine [18:57] Sub_Zero: you should be able to do that through the BIOS, if i'm reading that correctly [18:57] how can i get my video card info with terminal [18:57] gsfai: you can chrrot into hd and get old grub back, though I'd rather repair [18:57] @Sub_Zero my limited knowledge would say only a bootable CD or FlashDrive [18:57] leello: lspci will show it [18:58] this laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ60-420US, with a Intel GMA 4500MHD [18:58] gsfai: one hd, no encryption ? [18:58] one HD, 4 partitions, no encryption [18:58] leello, lspci | grep VGA [18:58] gsfai, so whats the actual problem besides it seems you don't understand grub2, the computer is bricked you say. Is it just not booting to anything now. [18:58] can someone help me with wirless on lenovo R60e ? running with network cable but wireless seems switched off [18:58] SC2 ran perfectly on low settings in Window. [18:58] *windows [18:58] gsfai: boot into live, open terminal .. [18:58] Ok, next question: is there any difference in functionality between the versions of Ubuntu (kubuntu, xubuntu, gununtu, etc)? [18:58] cody If I was to burn the iso image to a disc and boot from it, The installer would pop up asking where to install Windows too? Which I don't want. Ubuntu has a live CD where you can try Ubuntu without actually installing it. That's what I want just with XP [18:58] nit-wit: it drops to a grub shell. [18:58] cody: thats because t was written to run in windows === nisstyre is now known as Nisstyre65 [18:59] kk [18:59] cody: id blame it on that intel gpu [18:59] @Sub_Zero would you be interested in a Virtual OS? [18:59] I have a few PowerBook G4's in excellent condition running Ubuntu 10.10 that I'd like to donate to charity (in the San Francsico Bay Area). I'm bumping into countless 'meatheads' that will only accept MacOSX/Windows boxes -- arguing that 'Linux is not a real computer' (that's a quote!). [18:59] Sub_Zero: it'll be a long time before we see Windows Live CD's..lol [18:59] ooga: pretty much just the default window manager [18:59] I can't seem to give the silly things away! Fine; not gonna try to fix the ignorance ... that said, anyone know of a community resource that lists Ubuntu-aware charities that won't shoot themselves in the foot, and might actually benefit from donations? [18:59] gsfai, run this script and pastebin the generated file.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ === Guest34462 is now known as share [18:59] Sub-Zero Windows does NOT have a Live CD option, blame Bill Gates for that. [18:59] jessec: thank you. [18:59] kk [18:59] wine runs almost anything beautifully [18:59] cody: my core duo, 1gig laptop runs on low in windows but refuses to run in wine. i7 920, 10gig ram, radeon 5770 will run SC2 through wine though... seems to need a surplus of resources to run it through wine === share is now known as Guest15434 [19:00] Pawmaniac: i think saying "almost anything" is an extreme stretch.... i've found it fails more often than not. [19:00] ooga: Ubuntu uses gnome, Kubuntu - KDE, Xubuntu - Xfce [19:00] Sub_Zero, as far as i know the only way that is possible is on something like on the http://www.ubcd4win.com/ [19:00] cody: I got something kinda-like from ms,though ot here [19:00] If I had a way to change my GPU, I would have LONG beforre now, but there's no room for a new one as it's integrated with my CPU. [19:00] jessec: are there any advantages of one over the others? [19:00] Wine? [19:00] KM0201: not for me [19:00] * KM0201 wonders whatever happened to Fluxbuntu [19:01] Is there an FTP client (GUI) that will let me search for text inside files? [19:01] !worksforme | Pawmaniac :) [19:01] Pawmaniac :): Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [19:01] cody: live-cd /win [19:01] Xfce can be used on slower/older PCs better, though its pretty much a preference choice [19:01] just a second nit-wit [19:01] hmmm, guess i'd better put those plans to build a Desktop into action for this. [19:01] windows PE is for running off the cd if i remeber correctly [19:01] y [19:01] gsfai, cool it will give us a better view of the whole thang [19:01] guess i have to remove all that data off those shared drives, thats going to suck balls [19:02] hey , where does gnomenu save its themes ? [19:02] DasEi Windows never had a Live session, just an installer. [19:02] jessec: i think Xubuntu has gotten extremely bloated, especially since 10.04.

[19:08] @DasEi thanks for your help [19:08] I don't own ANY of the original Starcraft games, i'd like to know before I waste $20 [19:08] legacy grub was clever enough to make a list and let me choose which one i want, even listed in 'microsoft' and 'linux' Os'es.

[19:24] IConrad01: yes, compiz gives the effects. If the 3d accelleration is available (as the driver is running as you say) then compiz is going weird [19:24] IConrad01: you need a video driver that support it [19:25] sacarlson: Like fglrx. I know. I had Compiz running on 10.04. [19:25] I lost it on 10.10 but fglrx claims to be running. [19:26] IConrad01: maybe take a peak in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see why it didn't start [19:27] gsfai, can you read the script yourself, do you see menu.list and grub.cfg in the boot section of the Ubuntu partition? [19:27] IConrad01, have you done sudo apt-get update since upgrading [19:27] Back to my original question: anyone have experience installing 10.10 on a Gigabyte P55A-UD3? [19:27] BluesKaj: Yes.

[19:29] nit-wit: sorry brain fart [19:29] I just lose window-dressings. (I was using Emerald) [19:30] ActionParsnip: so, I thought I'd ask here ...

[19:34] Tetsuo55: make sure to lock applets to panel (or unlock some to see how it works) [19:34] gsfai: was the option to install a real ubuntu instead of a install on /dev/sda6 not posible?

[19:39] MangledBody: hdparm -d /dev/sdXX [19:39] ActionParsnip: i know... but it was kinda like my first car, i knew how to fix it easily, and generally it wasn't to painful.. and much like grub-legacy and my car.. it hurt when it left [19:40] nit-wit: im from a bootable pc, and i posted the pastebin a few thousand lines ago [19:40] MangledBody: ^ shall tell current status [19:40] rooks: it doesnt seem like it tries to load nfs at all [19:40] ActionParsnip: thanks [19:40] DasEi: That simply view if it's PIO, or DMA, yes? [19:40] gsfai: after it's installed you can apt-get install grub-legacy [19:40] DasEi: Thanks [19:40] Hello, is there a way to join Ubuntu to a windows domain, so that the username/passwords can be used on an Ubuntu machine? [19:40] MangledBody: dma [19:40] http://gsfai.pastebin.com/PT1sVH6E [19:40] Terminator: scripts like that make life VERY easy in linux [19:40] it just tries to boot, but it cant do /scripts/init-premount/, it just panics.

[19:45] gsfai: is there a diretory /boot/grub ? [19:45] bobo [19:45] gusg: press CTRL+L [19:45] sacarlson: yes containing 190 files [19:46] ActionParsnip: awesome! thank you [19:46] Hello. I'm new to Linux. Can i download it to an external HDD? [19:46] first of all, it would be really convinient if i managed to boot from the actual installation... [19:46] Drew151: yes, but do you mean install not download [19:46] so, what do i have to type in grub shell to get in it? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:48] Drew151: you can use usb-creator or unetbootin to install to a USB storage [19:48] anybody know why my nice new ubuntu font isn't fully hinted in Firefox and Qt apps?

I have Ubuntu on ARM and it seems that it can display only max res sent by edid. [19:50] ActionParsnip: in gnome-appearance-properties under fonts->details there are the hinting options [19:51] annecy: ahh, i see. Not sure. Never played with that stuff [19:51] StaRetji: use an xorg.conf file and it will be obeyed [19:52] gsfai: did you try something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/547404/ [19:52] ActionParsnip: have a go! certain fonts look way better fully hinted ie the free ones [19:52] Thanks. I'll probably be droping in more often. if this isn't the place for asking for newbie advice I'll leave. [19:53] ActionParsnip: Thx for reply.

[19:58] Lungan: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) [19:59] I don't think it will override it on ubuntu pandaboard releases by now =) [19:59] crimsun, I tried to patch the driver end then ending up with a driver which disconnects me all the time [19:59] em: echo "options psmouse proto=exps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf; sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse should sort it [20:00] Wally______: this is unrealted to pointing you in that direction, but isn't there anoother kernel that works if you don't have X set up? or even a virtual treminal? [20:00] I have come to the conclusion that Mythbuntu 10.10 is sadly a POS.

[20:01] nit-wit, thanks a TON, i managed to boot into my new good installation, via grub legacy [20:01] is it possible to install ubuntu 10.10 in a loopback parition on another linux partition? (like lubi was) how would you do this? [20:01] is this a known issue with network-manager? [20:01] crimsun, after writing that in terminal, will the wifidriver be as the one I had when i installed 10.10? [20:01] aeon-ltd, No. No kernels will boot. :( [20:01] which flavor of linux is most impressive? i'm new [20:02] Wally______: then isn't that a bigger problem that nvidia and X? [20:02] guntbert, I will look at that. Thank you [20:02] viceRoy_28: depends what impresses you, the question is too vague [20:02] viceRoy_28: ubuntu with uts 20000+ packages is quite impressive [20:02] When ever x tries to load it just freezes up. [20:02] viceRoy_28: thats too subjective, they all offer a lot of freedom (well those that supply server/minimal/raw installs anyway [20:02] it could be bigger [20:02] bergqvistjl: I tried mythbuntu or myth the package around 8.04 but only got about 10% to work then, I thought it was my tuner card [20:02] Is there a way to find out which package was responsible for a Dependecy PackageInstallation?

I remember a friend trying same and he was not able to change 1080p [20:06] I seem to be having an issue where ndbd is not strating using 'start nbbd' but does start when running the exact same command in the upstart script manually. How do I go about troubleshooting something like that?

[20:08] pjdelport, are you booting the cd or trying to install inside of Windows [20:08] the flash drive works; i've installed newer machines with it; my home machine is a bit older, so i suspect it might not support booting from USB in the same way as newer machines [20:08] ka1ser: no problem, will try. I'm having problem with mac resolutions on monitors, I want to force it to 1024x768 [20:08] nit-wit: booting from the USB drive [20:08] ActionParsnip: and yeah, i did [20:09] nit-wit: the machine currently has FreeBSD installed, but that shouldn't really matter [20:09] Hi [20:09] pjdelport: you can test it before the desktop loads, you can also test test the RAM there too [20:09] pjdelport, open gparted and take a screen shot ans post the image link [20:09] Whenever I wget a URL with a ? it tries to match the ? [20:09] I see [20:09] nit-wit: gparted of what? [20:09] Because ? is a matching character in zsh (bash too, likely) [20:09] Spreadsheet: Surround the URL with double quotes.

[20:12] so, gdm, X and nvidia drivers all walk into a bar [20:12] and the nvidia drivers punch X and gdm in the face [20:12] and run out, without paying its tab [20:12] /irc.piratenpartij.nl/piratenpartij [20:12] the computer must recognize the USB drive to boot from it, but once booted, Ubuntu doesn't seem to find it again [20:12] oeps [20:12] Hey everyone.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:13] Mooseeeeey: ask away [20:13] ok, so I have a(very) old Nvidia geforce mx400 gfx card [20:13] Sorry, more people here. [20:14] I went to the site and dl'd the driver for linux-32bit [20:14] pjdelport, you mean the try or install menu? power on the computer immediately hold down the shift key to get to the first try or install menu hit f6 tick nomodeset the crtl+x to boot [20:14] !nvidia | Mooseeeeey [20:14] Mooseeeeey: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:14] *the=then [20:14] Mooseeeeey: you dont need the file from nvidia [20:14] ok going now [20:15] nit-wit: aha; what does the nomodeset do? [20:15] pjdelport, low graphics mode [20:15] nit-wit: hmm, i don't think that's the problem === neriukas is now known as vkkp [20:16] pjdelport, your description is hard to decipher open a dialogue if you like and we can talk easier [20:16] I need to get a dozen or so x11 lib files (ones mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2273534/how-to-install-wkhtmltopdf-on-a-linux-based-web-server/2882679#2882679) how can I get them with out installing x11? [20:17] nit-wit: the graphics work fine; the problem is just that Ubuntu doesn't find the USB drive (installation media) once booted [20:17] My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work [20:17] nit-wit: please keep support conversations in the channel (if possible) [20:18] in other words, when you try to install, check the media, or boot into rescue mode, the "Detect installation CD-ROM" step fails [20:18] guntbert, thats not a problem but the description is confusing [20:18] i downloaded firestarter and it overcomplicated my iptables config file how do i start over on ipatables so i can just have a few rules in it? [20:20] one last question: Does the 64 bit version of kubuntu only work on AMD pocessors? [20:20] nit-wit: i suspect the problem may be that this computer's BIOS exposes the USB drive differently than what Ubuntu expects [20:20] Nexxus: you can use iptables -F to flush the rules, or you can restore your backup if you made one [20:20] ooga: no [20:21] e.g. as an emulated hard drive instead of an emulated CD-ROM drive [20:21] ooga: it runs on intel 64bit too [20:21] ooga: its just called AMD64 because AMD created the architecture first so they named it [20:21] i'm not fully familiar with the details of USB booting [20:21] anybody know how I can see more information about some file ? [20:21] karlo94: what kind of file? [20:21] popey: Thank you! Scared me for a sec ...

[20:22] ooga: remember to md5 test the iso ;) [20:22] sacarlson: at the moment, yes; would that make any difference? [20:23] My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work [20:23] hi - my Xorg is suddenly using lots of CPU when the screen changes quickly (Sudoku completion anim, for example) - any idea why? [20:23] sacarlson: i think this failure is happening before any hard disk access happens [20:23] pjdelport: and the other linux is still working, then yes you could install with this method https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [20:23] guntbert, is there a commandline app to see all the metadata of a file ? [20:24] pjdelport: it will move the installer onto one of the hard disk partitions, you will need two free partitions, one for the installed on a different drive and another patition to install to [20:24] X2864: meta-data? try stat or as suggested above use file [20:24] sacarlson: the current installation (that i'm booted into now) is actually FreeBSD [20:25] im trying to install divfix and the download link is some .ymp file, what do i do with that file? [20:25] pjdelport: that should be fine [20:25] anyone want to help me figure out why i can upload via sftp but sshfs gives file permission errors? [20:25] pjdelport: I could be wrong but it can mount iso files in freebsd can't it? [20:25] my plan was actually to boot into the USB drive and move the last of my data off of the main drive (onto one of the others) before i nuke and dedicate it to Ubuntu [20:26] popey, but I wanna know files informatons like: when it was made, who made it, maybe ip of computer on it is made, OS of that computer, and else......... [20:26] meta data as in file properties [20:26] karlo: most of that stuff isn't stored in any way [20:26] pjdelport: well the option of usb seems to be out, or is it? [20:26] karlo: depends if that data is in the file and the file type - hence me asing what kind of file [20:26] X2864: Which properties are you exactly trying to find? [20:26] My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work [20:26] pjdelport: onother option that I have never used is plop boot loader [20:27] Lungan: do you have the option to try a different Wireless dongle/card? [20:27] popey, I'm just looking for a program that reads extra info about file..

[20:27] richthegeek, Nope. I didn't have anyproblem before i tried to patch the driver, and now i keeps disconnect me. so I just whanna reset to originial [20:28] i'd like to get it working partly for the convenience, and partly to understand what's actually going wrong [20:28] Lungan: link to the tutorial you used to patch the driver? [20:28] since it's definitely working some of the way, enough to boot from the USB drive [20:28] in nautilus I cant open smb://servername only open smb://192.168.x.x , why ? [20:28] i reinstalled grub2 some time ago, now i can change everything as usual, only the countdown doesnt work at all. here is my grub.cfg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548620/ and my /etc/default/grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/548622/ [20:28] pjdelport: the plop boot manager can be installed I think with your freebsd to the mbr of one of the disks, then boot and from plop you can select to boot from usb [20:28] how do you isntall a ymp file? [20:28] SuNotisima: try using grub-manager? [20:29] sacarlson: would that make a difference compared to booting into USB straight from the BIOS? [20:29] popey, tnx for trying to help :D ..I gonna try to found myself.. [20:29] pjdelport: the first I have used and I know that works, the second plop I tried in virtualbox and it didn't work there but it might work in a real computer [20:30] I am trying to compile vive but i get the error configure: error: libvte development files are not installed but are required to compile. [20:30] richthegeek: you mean "StartUp-Manager"? tried that, no success [20:30] Is there a service startup file? Where I could add a daemon on startup? [20:30] ilpa: rc-files [20:30] I am trying to compile vive but i get the error[ configure: error: libvte development files are not installed but are required to compile. ] yet i have libvte-dev installed. [20:30] could someone help me with an install problem ... it bombs out after trying to install base system. I get the following error message .. the install cannot figure out how to install the base system. No installable CD was found and no valid mirror was found [20:30] thanks gobbe ;) [20:30] SuNotisima: no, a package literally called "grub-manager" ... might only be available via PPA so check omgubuntu.co.uk for the related article [20:30] pjdelport: I thought the problem was that the bios was not booting it? you think it is something else like maybe the method you programed the usb flash? does it boot on any other systems? [20:31] Sers. Ich versuch gerade ein HD Film (Matroska Video) auf meinem Laptop anzusehen. Leider stottert es beim mplayer. Gibts da nen Trick? [20:31] gobbe: in /etc [20:31] richthegeek: for grub2? [20:31] mtbear: trying to install via a network? [20:31] Ah, crap. wrong chan [20:31] sorry, I mean "grub-customizer" === nogagplz__ is now known as nogagplz [20:31] My internet keeps disconnects me every 5 seconds, how can I reinstall my wifi with drivers and everything? In the tray it says that i'm connected, but internet doesn't work [20:31] SuNotisima: yes, although I use it for BURG (on top of Grub2) [20:31] hello [20:31] Lungan: we can't answer that without further information - what tutorial/method did you use to patch yoru driver [20:31] selamlar [20:31] sacarlson: it boots fine on other systems, yes; i used this same USB drive to install on my workstation at work [20:32] ilpa: checkout https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [20:32] richthegeek, I posted the tuorial in private, but i probably got disconnected so it didn't reach u [20:32] pjdelport: ok then the plop might be worth a try then [20:32] administrator@ubuntu:~$ lspci | grep VGA [20:32] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [20:32] administrator@ubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep render [20:32] direct rendering: Yes [20:32] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 915GM GEM 20091221 2009Q4 x86/MMX/SSE2 [20:32] administrator@ubuntu:~$ grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:32] administrator_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:34] trend: I assume this is for some other OS? Cos Ubuntu already has apt and apt-source in it's repo [20:34] :/ I don't have apt installed [20:34] I don't have dkpg either [20:34] nit-wit: not a member of the forums, no [20:35] trend: What version of Ubuntu are you using and how did you install it? [20:35] I think the old sys-admin removed it [20:35] sacarlson: does plop work fine without any other state on the drive? [20:35] как скомпилировать игру из инструкции я понял только что её надо типа скомпилировать [20:35] !ru | xubuntu [20:35] xubuntu: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:35] in other words, just dump it to the MBR and there you go?

What am I missing? [20:35] pjdelport, your problem is hard to understand that is all since I'm multi tasking here, thats all. The IRC is good but has limitations [20:36] pjdelport: it's just a mbr it's loaded in the first 512 bytes on a disk [20:36] sacarlson: yes; some boot managers depend on data in the actual partitions, IINM [20:36] instead of being completely self-contained in the MBR [20:36] pjdelport: I'm not sure [20:36] man i have never had so much trouble with nvidia drivers before [20:37] pjdelport: seems to do alot for a program that fits in only 512 bytes [20:37] sacarlson: yeah [20:37] trend: What does lsb_release -r say? [20:37] did nvidia drivers become garbage in the last 6 months or so? [20:37] Release: 5.3 [20:38] sacarlson: the plop description sounds like it stores extra data in the first few blocks before the first partition [20:38] pjdelport: the test I ran I got to the boot screen but I couldn't get it to read the usb in virtualbox, but that sytem was empty [20:38] ijustam: working fine for me...what's the trouble? [20:38] sounds like it may require repartitioning? [20:38] join ubuntu-it [20:38] trend: Thats not an ubuntu version, What does lsb_release -a say? [20:38] i install any nvidia driver and gdm decides to die [20:39] pjdelport: ok that make sence, would that be a problem on both drives? [20:39] i get this problem: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9965865 [20:39] Pici, oh wow it's centos.. I don't understand why dmesg said ubuntu [20:39] strange.. thanks :) [20:39] ive about exhausted my options [20:39] sacarlson: possibly; the other two drives are full of my data [20:39] nmvictor: installing from a DVD and all goes fine untill it reaches the install base system and then I get the error message [20:39] trend: Probably the kernel was built on an Ubuntu system. [20:40] Pici, thanks soooo much. I'm on the right path now :) [20:40] pjdelport: ok I would think the installer would detect the that space needed was used and do something else like use unused space on the disk? [20:41] :http://www.ubuntu.com [20:41] sacarlson: hmm, all i can find so far seems to say that it can back up the sectors that it replaces [20:41] pjdelport: you think it made to be used on only blank to start systems? [20:41] pjdelport: ok [20:42] so it does overwrite sectors; i'm not sure what happens if those sectors happen to be important [20:42] tricky [20:42] wowza, redshift's name is proof in advertising. It makes the screen really really red [20:42] pjdelport: cool glad you testing and not me then [20:42] Maahes: only late at night [20:43] install problem from DVD, install stops trying to install the base system [20:43] heh [20:43] Maahes: it rotates from cool blue to warm red throughotu the day [20:43] richthegeek: I just enabled it [20:43] I am red as hell [20:43] if i configured my iptables to aloow traffic on a certain port and i run nmap localhost and that returns that they are not open is something wrong? [20:43] sacarlson: well, it was a pretty good suggestion, thanks [20:43] and why do I have to start this app from the command line? [20:43] pjdelport: if it worked it would make old computers that can't boot usb's alive again [20:43] i have inserted the following into ~/.rtorrent.rc : system.method.insert = load.custom, simple, "execute=wget,-P,/home/mythtv/media/torrents/torrentfiles,$argument.0=" .Restarted rtorrent, and then i press ^X and write load.custom=http://somdomain/torrents/name.torrent and press enter, but nothing happens. What am I missing? [20:44] is there a way to override or change Ubuntu's idea of where the installation CD-ROM device is once you've booted into the installer? [20:44] hi [20:45] this problem might just be something silly like the USB drive ending up at a different /dev node than the installer expects [20:45] Hi, can someone link me a website with an Install tutorial for ventrilo 3.0.5 [20:46] hello guys [20:46] can anyone tell me why the openssh-server has no installation candidate? [20:46] ps: ubuntu 10.10 [20:46] hi [20:46] Noiano: just try to install ssh ? [20:46] DasEi, yes [20:47] hey how to login as other [20:47] ? [20:47] deschlipzick, unless something has change since i last heard, Push-To-Talk on Vent won't work (making it non-useful mostly) [20:47] Noiano: sudo apt-get install ssh [20:47] Noiano: not sh-server, get the dependencies [20:47] DasEi, same thing [20:47] i want to loginas other user in ubuntu how can i? [20:47] Why is this the biggest channel on IRC? [20:47] juniour, use the su command [20:47] ZykoticK9, aah okay.. thank you [20:47] Noiano: system up to date, no conflicts ? [20:48] DasEi, yes, ugraded from ubuntu 10.04 [20:48] Naiano it asking for password [20:48] does anyone know where i can find out more about how the installer detects the installation media? [20:48] i dont know that [20:48] there must be some way to change it [20:49] Noiano: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get install ssh [20:49] Noiano which password i have to give there [20:49] Noiano: pastebin the error message, if any [20:49] juniour, you should know it ...otherwise change it using the passswd command [20:49] pjdelport: the 4 step procedure to install from linux is fast, install from hard disk to hard disk makes install faster https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [20:49] my iptables do not seem to save my configuration upon reboot how o i fix this [20:50] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/82v6y1UF [20:50] pjdelport: I now keep the entry in my grub so when I ever need to install I just use this method [20:51] Me not understand why there are 1487 people in here.

If I remove my router and just connect my server directly to the modem, will that remove the ethernet layer ( aka I'll save 29 bytes) [20:51] it asking me passwd [20:51] dont know ti [20:52] supybot xerxes.conf [20:52] airman00: not if you're still using ethernet ;) [20:52] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/aA9b8Ub8 [20:52] isn't ethernet only between the router and the other computers? Is there anyway to remove the ethernet layer but still connect to the internet? [20:53] after typing su which passwd i have to enter [20:53] my loggin passwd or wt? [20:53] help me [20:53] my dwww is broken despite trying to reinstall with sudo apt-get install dwww -- can't access localhost. What could be wrong? [20:53] ? [20:53] juniour: use sudo, not su [20:54] !sudo | juniour [20:54] juniour: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:54] sacarlson: aha! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media#Mounting%20the%20USB%20stick%20as%20/cdrom [20:54] that's what i was looking for, i think [20:54] airman00: not if you're connection is using ethernet. ethernet is a form of layer 2 [20:54] how do i make ubuntu start the X server after booting when there is no display attached at that time? [20:55] pjdelport: I'm reading it [20:55] baggar11: but a direct connection to the modem ( no router or hub ) even that uses the ethernet layer? [20:55] airman00: other options include frame relay, token ring, etc. [20:55] airman00: of which you aren't using [20:55] i'll just need to poke around and see where the USB drive actually is [20:55] guntberth i am typing su it asking me passwd [20:55] it must be there somewhere, since it's booted [20:56] which passwd i have to type [20:56] my logging or wt? [20:56] i have inserted the following into ~/.rtorrent.rc : system.method.insert = load.custom, simple, "execute=wget,-P,/home/mythtv/media/torrents/torrentfiles,$argument.0=" .Restarted rtorrent, and then i press ^X and write load.custom=http://somdomain/torrents/name.torrent and press enter, but nothing happens. What am I missing? [20:56] airman00: besides the actual physical cable, there is no other layer below ethernet [20:56] ubottu i am asking abt su command [20:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:56] airman00: you can google OSI Model to find out more, basics of networking... [20:57] juniour: press c, then start with sudo [20:57] juniour: su asks for the root password. The root account is locked, that's why it's recommended you use sudo instead, by default su won't work. [20:57] ubottu when i type su it asking me passwd which passwd i have to enter my loggin or wt? [20:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:57] pjdelport: what is it saying you needed to intall the alternate cd on the usb for this to work? [20:57] Noiano: seems like the standard-universe repo is missing [20:57] baggar11: thanks! I'm reading into it now. Its strange, when i reduce my data from 9 bytes to 3 bytes, the ethernet bytes increases! [20:57] hi [20:57] DasEi, can you give it to me? [20:57] Can anyone help me with installing something? [20:57] Im having problems with the evolution email client [20:57] airman00: your mtu? [20:58] is there a specific channel to ask about samba questions or do I just ask here?

Use sudo instead. [20:58] !ask | Mooseeeeey [20:58] Mooseeeeey: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:58] the article talks about changing the mount point to solve a different problem than mine, but i should be able to do the same [20:59] OK [20:59] !anyone [20:59] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[21:00] k [21:00] pjdelport: ok alt clt f2 then you can do that? [21:00] baggar11: I'm unsure. Is that something I would have set in the code for the socket server? Or a router property?

[21:22] ZykoticK9, anyway, there still is no sun java 6 in the list after runnign the apt-get update command [21:22] magicjoe it sas there is no such file or directory. [21:23] just installed 10.10 on a laptop, sound, video, wlan all just worked.. [21:23] vincent_, from a terminal try "apt-cache search sun-java" to show all Sun Java packages [21:23] major sweetness.. :) [21:23] ZykoticK9, why are those packages not in the synaptic list? [21:24] DasEi: try that http://pastebin.com/i2Vu1ErH [21:24] vincent_, are you looking for the web plugin? or the jre / jdk? [21:24] It is true that Ubuntu will be on a tablet? [21:24] when i switched it to 'make the screen blank' when i close the lid on my laptop. I then closed the lid and when i came back i couldn't get the screen to come back. I had to turn it off. [21:24] how can i determine what video driver is used for the x display in 10.10? I want to make sure it doesnt use the slow vesa... [21:24] vincent_, don't know about the synaptic issue... sorry. [21:24] well, I removed the openjdk before [21:24] ericpersson, u will see tomorow [21:24] so then it'd be jre, right? [21:25] Sergey_IT: tomorrow? [21:25] vincent_, jre = runtime environment, while jdk = development files [21:25] ericpersson? or after* [21:25] Sergey_IT: trying to make a joke? ;) [21:25] I was told to uninstall the openjdk [21:26] ericpersson, yes [21:26] ericpersson: try this: grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:26] vincent_, what are you trying to do? [21:26] Sergey_IT: subtle.. :) [21:26] get a client of a server going [21:26] it had weird bugs [21:26] Shadowolf: did you capitalize the X in X11? [21:27] ericpersson: Additional Hardware in menu>preferencies [21:27] weird errors [21:27] Jordan_U: you busy? [21:27] vincent_, "client of a server" i don't understand? is this for a web browser (if so install the plugin)? is this to run java (if so install the jre)? is this to develop using java (install the jdk)? [21:27] maverick came with many input devices issue, first it was the nonsensitive touchpad which i fixed, then the screen whose brightness you wouldnt adjust which im still fixing, my Home,End and PageUp&Dwn keys are still pending.

[21:28] Sergey_IT: seems like its using the inteldriver.. :) [21:28] hi all [21:28] shcherbak: thanks.. feeling lost in this point-and-click-stuff.. [21:28] nmvictor: seems you're not alone : http://tinyurl.com/383v3dz [21:28] Shadowolf: im not sure if disabling X is going to help if you found a driver conflict. you need to add a line in the file /etc/modules that says your videocard type [21:28] ZykoticK9, what is the "regular" java 6? [21:28] ericpersson, with ATI video& [21:28] ? [21:28] Sergey_IT: no, its an intelcard.. [21:29] vincent_, sorry you'd need to be more specific. they are all "regular" [21:29] I'm trying to get a dump of all the contacts on my Nokia phone (symbian based). I do *not* want to sync with evolution since it's not my phone, I'm just trying to backup stuff. What tool should I use? [21:29] Shadowolf: for me its an ati radeon 9200, so i had to put in the line radeon.apg.modeset=1 or something like that [21:29] If so, we recommend you to uninstall the openjdk which is installed by default for ubuntu users for instance, then to install the regular java 6 from sun/oracle. [21:29] ericpersson: not sure, that you have much choice with intel cards [21:30] which was so [21:30] vincent_, ? that doesn't help - i'm not sure if you need jre or jdk - you could try both i guess. [21:30] shcherbak: it says no proprietary drivers.. but according to the xorg.log its using the intel driver, so it should be fine for normal desktop/browsing use i guess.. [21:30] DasEi: thanks, any known fixes though? [21:30] why is it that when i close the lid on my laptop the wifi is disconnected. I dont want that. [21:30] I don't want to develop anything, I just want to use it [21:30] magicjoe "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 173.14.28, but this NVIDIA driver componenet has version 260.19.21. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver ocmponents have the same version. [21:30] nmvictor: can't really help there, a sudo apt-get -f install doesn't do either ? [21:30] Shadowolf: that line i just mentioned was in my bootloader, and in modules it was ati-7784 something or other. but at any rate, you need to override the kernel with lines in those two files that are specific for YOUR videocard [21:31] vincent_: ZykoticK9 if your not sure, take the JDK, it's the JRE + some dev tools. But if you only want to execute and don't want to compile, the JRE should be sufficient. [21:31] vincent_, then start with the sun-java6-jre (or if you need it in a web browser, also install sun-java6-plugin) [21:31] ericpersson: intel drivers are quite good (compiz and some gaming - depense how stong is card) [21:31] nmvictor: more a try and error, try to install geany, might bring the dev [21:31] Shadowolf: are you on powerpc? [21:31] DasEi: geany is installed on my system' [21:32] magicjoe no, P4 [21:32] Looks like I get ot have the fun of reinstalling since i have no clue how to do these other things. [21:32] DasEi: reinstalling [21:32] em, if you have the computer set to go to sleep/hibernate on lid close - then it's going to disable your wireless... [21:33] do you want the UK to be a kingdom or a republic? [21:33] Shadowolf: just checking. don't use the exact line i used, i was just telling you the file you need to change. i don't know the line to add. you need to find the one that is for your video card [21:33] hi, I've got noise from my speakers whenever the CPU is being used heavily - anyone experienced this before? [21:33] ZykoticK9: but i put it on 'blank screen' [21:33] sorry that question doens't really make sense [21:33] em, that's a screen saver setting isn't it? [21:33] ZykoticK9: and furthermore, after i closed the lid, and it went blank screen, I came back to it several minutes later and I could not even get the screen to turn back on. I had to turn it off. [21:33] DasEi: Meanwhile, all this is about an encoder that could output .3gp, know of any? If so, I'd save my self this stress [21:34] hi, I've got noise from my speakers whenever the CPU is being used heavily - anyone experienced this before?

Otherwise your choices are suspend, hibernate, or shutdown. [21:35] after installing 9.04 and updates... it works fine [21:35] BernardV: well this Vive thing I was going to install was supposed to provide a better frontend to do that, or do you know the command? [21:36] Guest89555: I'll try with a different set of speakers in a bit, but it doesn't occur when the speakers are disconnected from the machine (even when powered on) [21:36] found it in a forum [21:36] @richthegeek -- hmm, strange. i have only seen this with onboard devices... [21:36] ZykoticK9 thanks I think I got it really well fixed now [21:36] Shadowolf: you might try using what i have mentioned in a google search with your video card in there. chances are, someone else had the same problem when they updated, and have solved it. so search for "add this line to /etc/modules +your videocard" [21:36] Guest89555: it is a *very* cheap soundcard [21:36] vincent_, how about a socialized UK. :) [21:36] @richthegeek: what sound card are you using when not using onboard?

[21:38] foo [21:39] partial progress [21:39] BernardV: using the latest winff to convert some stuff to .3gp right now [21:39] okay, once booted, i can see the USB drive fine as /dev/sdd / /dev/sdd1 [21:39] Dr_Willis: Are the commands I gave a bit like you use? [21:39] @richthegeek: i have seen this on an older machine, i believe a northwood based intel box but with ati drivers. i cant remember the solution however [21:39] i can mount it, and see the installation files, etc. [21:39] Does it exist a program for Ubuntu, which I can check my download status on Torrent remotely?? [21:40] Dr_Willis: It's been a while since I used it, so I'm not sure... [21:40] @richthegeek: good luck [21:40] BernardV: winff is generating them.. i can see what command winff uses.. but its like a 5 line command. :) it has all sorts of extra options. [21:40] however, i cannot seem to get the installer's CD-ROM detection to find it [21:40] Dr_Willis: ok :P [21:40] i tried mounting it as /cdrom, /media [21:40] BernardV: one could check the winff and its pre-sets I had issues with the latest winff on ubuntu, using the windows version right now since it came with a ffmpeg with all the right options [21:40] and tried symlinking /dev/cdrom to it (instead of the default sr0) [21:40] but no luck [21:41] pjdelport: a cdrom is normally mounted to /media/SOMTHING [21:41] DasEi: what was the url please, it srolled out of my irssi window and like I said, maverick brought issues like PgDwn and PgUp not working, so please paste the timyurl again, as for your latest query, i want to convert inputfile.otherformat to output,3gp [21:41] nmvictor: http://da.vidr.cc/2009/02/28/converting-videos-to-3gp-in-ubuntu-intrepid-810-with-ffmpeg/ [21:41] Dr_Willis: this is only for being booted into the Ubuntu install image itself [21:42] Dr_Willis: I mostly use the commandline, but lately I only convert to mp4/mkv.. so handbrake.fr is enough [21:42] nmvictor: you have tried winff yet? I cant install winff due to me using a custom ffmpeg i made.. winff package dont like that.. silly thing.

[21:57] steff12321: that should be a last resort; first find it in software center; it uses repositories, sort of databases; you can add repositories, e.g on launchpad.net there's a lot of stuff; find the homepage for what you need, see if there is a repo or a .deb file, you can click and install those easily [21:57] how to check last reboot done by whoom ? [21:57] gusg: you could put it in /opt/ or /usr/local [21:57] by cli [21:57] magicjoe: ah, so inhouse and not over inet just, I see. same subnet, your ubuntu and her xp ? [21:58] DasEi: does that make sense now? i just want to know how to connect to my girlfriends XP machine FROM MY UBUNTU on my laptop. [21:58] can someone download teamviewer and help me please? [21:58] racines: never really notuiced. proberl the actual install would be faster. and have less hassles. [21:58] Which is faster? Persistance or the actual install? [21:58] (on a USB) [21:58] DasEi: YES! [21:58] steff12321: help you with what? [21:59] steff12321 if you want an external repo, I'd stick with the Getdeb and playdeb.net repos aswell as the official WINE repo, just follow the instructions on their sites [21:59] how do i double dereference a shell variable? [21:59] I've noticed a difference in speed between using linux on an HDD then using linux on a USB. The USB seems much slower and takes longer to startup to get to live mode. Is this nornmal? [21:59] magicjoe: so do a shared folder in xp and acces it via samba, or setup an ssh server on that xpmachine : http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html and connect via ssh [21:59] DasEi: and I can SEE her computer under "network" in Nautilus. but when i try to connect, it times out and then fails. [21:59] racines: a usb is slower of course.. [21:59] mkanyicy: What are you trying to accomplish? [21:59] racines: a usb is faster then a cd/live cd ive found. [21:59] well [21:59] steff12321 otherwise, you can install almost any .deb file as if it where a windows .exe [21:59] racines: some day we will have usb3 :) [22:00] magicjoe: you need a folder with acces on her box [22:00] if I install linux on a USB rather than using live mode, will it be faster? [22:00] Jordan_U, like: a='abcde' and d='a' [22:00] does anyone know where the Ubuntu installer looks for its installation media? [22:00] thats the only reason Id want to do an install because it might be faster. Or would it be relatively the ame speed? [22:00] racines: a lot [22:00] racines: try it and see. it may be a bit faster.. but ive neer noticed any differance.. as i said earlier. [22:00] racines, it depends on your cd drive and the usb drive speed. sata cdroms are pretty fast [22:00] racines: it all depends on what you are doing i imagine.. [22:00] racines: much fasterr [22:00] kk [22:00] DasEi: THERE ARE folders on her box that are shared.........or else i wouldn't be able to access the SHARES on MY OXS from HER BOX. SO the shares are THERE but SAMBA won't connect to them! [22:01] Jordan_U, then echo *magic* on $d should give 'abcde' [22:01] Dr_Willis: can you download teamviewer and help me for like 2 mins please? [22:01] racines, and some usb drives can be really slow [22:01] steff12321: got a url? i can try i guess. [22:01] hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout? [22:01] racines: ive noticed VERY differnt speeds in usb flash drives.. newer ones are a lot better these days [22:01] mkanyicy: a='abcde'; d="$a" [22:01] Dr_Willis: you can find it on the software center, or at www.teamviewer.com for windows [22:02] AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! [22:02] :DDD [22:02] ? [22:02] connect to server.. [22:02] mkanyicy: I wouldn't call that "double dereferencing", I would call that two assignments, where the second is dereferencing a variable. [22:02] I dont see any teamviewer in the repos.. [22:02] I see a teamspeak.. [22:02] Dr_Willis what OS do you have [22:02] ? [22:03] steff12321: Win7 next to me.. 10.10 here. [22:03] Jordan_U, i have a scenario like: for i in t a A ; do echo $i "=>" *magic* on $i ; done [22:03] steff12321: Timex Sinclare 1000 on the wall.. :P [22:03] download it from teamviewer.com on the windows 7 [22:03] lol [22:03] wait [22:04] mkanyicy: Please explain what you are actually trying to accomplish. I have no idea what you mean by "*magic*". [22:04] ill send the link [22:04] Dr_Willis: its a nice third party app, vnc over nat and fw, even, free for non commercial,else unpayable [22:04] http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe [22:04] run that on windows, and make sure to run it not install it [22:04] nit-wit, so socialistic is anarchistic? [22:04] no, that's going too far [22:05] is it worth to upgrade to quad core? [22:05] steff12321: and the point of all this is what exactly? [22:05] YankeesFan: depends on the $$ differance. [22:05] to install an IRC bot [22:05] ask in #hardware, YankeesFan [22:05] steff12321 install wine and give it a whirl, else there are several similar apps in the repos [22:05] steff12321: and how is this supposed to be helpng do that? [22:05] !ot | vincent_ nit-wit [22:05] vincent_ nit-wit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:05] vincent_, I don't follow you, could you elaborate. [22:06] steff12321: irc bots are evil unless they serve an accepted purpose like ubottu [22:06] intok : PM me because im new to this and am therefore a moron [22:06] Dr_Willis, all i do is basic stuff like email office photos youtube music and occasinally some games but not heavy gaming [22:06] Jordan_U, ok, refer to http://paste.ubuntu.com/548656/ line 108 to line 116 [22:06] YankeesFan: if its just a few $$ difrerance - id upgrade.. [22:06] YankeesFan: more then $100. perhaps not. === jid_ is now known as jid [22:07] Its easier to upgrade the HD and viideo cards.. harder to upgrade a cpu later. [22:07] Dr_Willis, x2 250 is 60$ with x4 i think 100$?? [22:07] $40 diff. id go for it. [22:07] Jordan_U, Im trying to set audio file metadata tags a tag at a time [22:07] i currently have a sempron [22:07] lol [22:07] my amd sempron(tm) 3000+ lol old processor :D [22:08] Dr_Willis, the x2 is 3Ghz while the x4 is 2.8Ghz should i go dual core if i am not doing any heavy stuff?

If you have hardware questions please use ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [22:08] Pici, k [22:08] YankeesFan: for the trivial amount of $$ differange.. i would go 4x [22:08] pici, :P [22:09] k [22:09] YankeesFan: I just assembled a new pc, didn't go for it; invest in faster dual core I'd say, the software is the bottleneck, only some games and a few stuff more can make use of quad [22:09] VCoolio: untill next year, or month, or whatever.. :) [22:09] ok i am guessing i will go with dual core but get 6GB ram [22:10] Dr_Willis: this is ubuntu remember, I guess new stuff won't be implemented that fast here :) [22:10] YankeesFan: its easier to upgrade ram later, then upgrade the cpu.. but do what you want. [22:10] YankeesFan: i have got an athlon ii 245 and it performs great [22:10] could someone please help me remove the gnome-panel? I am not able to delete the upper panel and I don't know how to stop it from starting after killing it or upon boot [22:10] hi there [22:10] VCoolio: i do lots of video reencoding.. the 4core seems to help a lot more then the slightly faster 2core would. [22:11] Antonis: you want ALL panels gone? [22:11] I was wondering if it's possible to disable compiz effects (shadow in this case) for one application, it's gkrellm. Screenshot at http://imagebin.org/130121 in CCSM/Windows Decorator I tried adding "any & !(class=gkrellm)" to the Shadow Windows box but no change. [22:11] Dr_Willis, yeah i guess i will do with quad core, since i do plan to do video editing once college starts up again =) [22:11] hello, how can i track my keyboard usage? ie the number of key i press? [22:11] Dr_Willis: video encoding, yes, I guess; but with email and office and stuff you'll soon be stuck on disk speed instead of cpu [22:11] Dr_Willis, I did remove/delete the bottom one by right-clicking and then Delete panel but that option is disabled on the upper one [22:12] I want to get rid of them all tyes, but I also want to be able to restore them if I want so in the feature [22:12] Antonis: correct.. by defailt you cant get rid of them all. [22:12] Antonis: i'd just set one to auto hide. and leave it alone. [22:12] hi! i have just installed lucid on my xps 16. i can't get the wireless to work. it's got an intel 6200. any inputs? [22:12] Jordan_U, oh, the easier way: I want to do this but for variables with any characters values: first='3'; second='first'; echo "$[second]" [22:13] mkanyicy: That code desperately needs comments, I'm still not completely sure what you're trying to do but I think this page will be usefull to you: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/006 . Please read an carefully consider the "Obligitory Note" section. [22:13] Dr_Willis, well that way it will show everytime I move the mouse at the top.. won't it? [22:13] Antonis: or tot he side or whever you drag it.. so what? === Caio is now known as Guest27282 [22:13] Antonis: i recall some forum threads on totally removeing the panles, and some chat about it at some ubuntu blog sites. like omgubuntu, and webupd8 [22:14] anyone? === mantas is now known as Apocal [22:14] me? [22:14] Dr_Willis, I did disable the expand option and enabled autohide and move the panel to the bottom and since I am using awn it wont bother me there :) thanks! [22:15] hi! i have just installed lucid on my xps 16. i can't get the wireless to work. it's got an intel 6200. any inputs? any help would be appreciated [22:15] Hi, ubuntu 11.04 does not recognize my cd-rom [22:15] my ayatwm ia reporting 100% cpu usage, but in the system monitor i can only account for 25% of it [22:15] help please [22:15] my system* [22:16] person, reask in #ubuntu+1 [22:16] !lista [22:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[22:17] Jordan_U, thank you very much for that link. It gave me a second opinion!! cheers [22:17] Tetsuo55, in a terminal type "top" [22:17] Tetsuo55: install htop and look [22:17] Tetsuo55: "top" will list it at the top [22:17] mkanyicy: You're welcome. [22:18] Hi, I am trying to dualboot Ubuntu on a HP Mini 110. I shrunk the windows partition and am left with an unusable, unallocated partition. If I try to install a FS on it I get an error about there being a maximum 4 primary partitions. [22:18] s/unallocated partition/unallocated space [22:18] I am writing a game using HTML5 (GWT/Java). Are html5 apps "allowed" in the Ubuntu software center? [22:18] penthief: so goto work with logical drives [22:19] ok found it [22:19] thanks [22:19] DasEi: Surely i [22:19] Trying to run Braid on a GMA900, crashes with this error: Game Startup Error: Unable to set up graphics. Reason: Failed to initialize OpenGL display. Weird since Osmos plays fine... [22:19] .. need a fresh partition to do that? [22:20] penthief: a common hd may have 4 primary partitons, but can use extended ones with almost countless logicaql drives in it, ubuntu against win doesn't require a primary to work (xp) [22:20] ok, nobody helps me on ubuntu plus 1... [22:20] still waiting [22:20] intok, make sure you have the best drivers available installed for your video card, can do you lspci please? ill show you which one [22:21] SidP: i the machine wired to a router right now?

[22:21] penthief: apt-get install pastebinit [22:22] penthief: sudo* [22:22] bluezone_ And what driver would that be seeing as there is only the foss intel driver [22:22] person: thenw hy did you download a release that is very early in development? surely you expected problems. [22:22] penthief: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [22:22] intok, type lspci in a terminal and send it to me using pastebin [22:22] histo, my desktop pc have 2 nic eth0 and eth1. eth0 connected to router (internet). I want to my laptop connect to internet via my desktop (eth1) using same subnet on my router (192.168.1.0/24). I tried using "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE" and enable ip_forward and it work. but different subnet. (eth1=192.168.0.1)..what I'm trying to do is using same subnet router.

[22:26] Hi all [22:26] 2 days ago, I installed ubuntu onto my hard drive [22:26] I upgraded to 10.10 yesterday, and I also run Windows 7 [22:27] penthief: wierd, looks like a ubu install on ntfs with htat seperate /boot [22:27] I have a file which is constantly being updated but would like to plot the data. Any recommendations? [22:27] hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout? [22:27] Russia, what is your question? [22:27] DasEi: Probably a live USB stick. [22:28] I was just on Win7, and went to boot onto ubuntu. However, now I cannot, since my computer can't find either operating system [22:28] penthief: no, talking about /dev/sda1 [22:28] what do you mean chiques [22:28] Russia, humm, when you start your computer you don't get a boot menu? [22:28] Hi. I have a little problem: ifconfig wlan0 up --> true but startig wpa_supplicant like this: wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa.conf -B [22:28] says that the option ioctl is not supported :S [22:28] DasEi: That might be HP's cut down Linux distro. It's called QuickWeb or something. [22:28] skulltip, I have a file which minicom is constantly updating, how can I keep a realtime plot of the data in that file? [22:28] is there a chat program that will accept file transfers over AIm for ubuntu? [22:29] penthief: ic [22:29] Russia, join #ubuntu-ru [22:29] bluezone_: My boot menu goes as far as to let me choose which device to boot from [22:29] bluezone_ http://pastebin.com/BwfCzhEe [22:29] Sergey_IT: I'm not russia [22:29] *russian [22:29] skulltip, I checked out gnuplot but it seems a bit complicated. I'm just wondering if there is an easier way [22:29] chiques: perhaps you want to run: tail -f file [22:29] Russia, you mean which operation system correct? [22:29] Russia, sorry ) [22:29] operating* [22:30] oskar-, I'll give that a shot [22:30] penthief: so next is current win, then there are two more, one recovery maybe and a tine fat32 [22:30] DasEi: In fact maybe I should delete that. Still, I'm confused as to why shrinking my Windows partition caused me to have a 100GB unallocated, unusable block. fdisk -l doesn't seem to show you that [22:30] tiny* [22:30] bluezone_: No, which device [22:30] chiques: ah, ok, graphic plots. tail -f will not help much then [22:30] DasEi: The tiny fat32 is recovery [22:31] for some reason my root has been mounted as read only. how can I remount it? [22:31] i cant see my facebook buddys in pidgin anymore. any reason for this? [22:31] oskar-, Oh, OK [22:31] DasEi: No, HP Tools [22:31] facebookchat is installed. [22:31] Russia, i don't understand what you mean, it doesnt say something like ubuntu (number) and then under windows 7 (loader) ? [22:31] penthief: usual approch is install ubu, install win, boot live , save mbr and then reinstall grub [22:31] bluezone_: It did, now that screen doesn't appear. [22:31] what type of data is this, never heard of minicom. what do you want to plot [22:31] Russia, so what happens instead [22:32] Ph03b3: you should check for the reason why that happened. to mount it writable again, run: mount -o remount,rw / [22:32] penthief: hp is evil to ms, If I wouldn't no better, hehe [22:32] now* [22:32] any one can help me with ipforwarding? [22:32] where am i ? [22:32] KM0201, yes i am! [22:32] DasEi: Right. I don't have any Windows install media however so I suppose that process cannot apply. [22:32] bluezone_: First, it says "Error: no module found", then "Aborted, Press any key to exit" [22:32] hi [22:33] penthief: hm, problem then [22:33] Russia, and your sure you hard drive is correctly plugged in? i would unplung both the cable and the power and replug it [22:33] penthief: you will loose something, and a install aunder 10 gig.. won't give much fun, though fits === shookees is now known as ZNC_shookees [22:33] intok, wait a sec i'm looking into it [22:34] bluezone_: I beleive it is, It was working right before the reboot. [22:34] hi! i have just installed lucid on my xps 16. i can't get the wireless to work. it's got an intel 6200. any inputs? any help would be appreciated [22:34] DasEi: I'm hoping I can start using that 100GB unallocated block with it! === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [22:34] Russia, hummm [22:34] penthief: i don't see that [22:34] SidP: Check Additional Hardware Drivers in System --> Pref/Admin [22:35] bluezone_: It acknoweldges the hard drive is there too, if I interpreted my BIOS' information correctly [22:35] No, you don't. GParted does show it -- as unallocated. The install USB declared it unusable. [22:36] Russia, unplug any usb drives you have connected [22:36] red2kic, it doesn't show anything there [22:36] penthief: fromfdisk all cylinders are in use [22:36] Russia, or anything that the computer may be booting off [22:36] Russia, including cd's [22:36] bluezone_: No CDs in the drive, and no USB drive either [22:36] hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout? [22:37] hey all.. i was wondering if anyone could recommend a web based bittorrent client [22:37] Russia, hmmm [22:37] DasEi: Sectors 232060928 - 453244927 apparently. [22:37] bluezone_: And A correction, it says "no module name found" instead of "Error: No module found" as I had previously said [22:37] SidP: Ah. Dunno. "lspci" would list everything (including your wireless) [22:37] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: most of them have web interfaces.. there is also some command line ones that have a web interface/options.. and utorrent now has a 32bit port to linux. that is web interface only [22:37] MrKeuner: look for their initscripts under /etc/init, but I'm off soon [22:38] n_i_x|ZzZzZz, if you run apache then torrentflux is in the ubuntu repo - pretty good. [22:38] red2kic, it's got an intel 6200. it shows that there [22:38] Dr_Willis: cool... thanks.. I don't have X installed as this is a headless NAS box.. [22:38] KM0201, any idea on how to fix this? [22:38] Russia, humm... this is profoundly wierd, what did you change before rebooting? [22:38] SidP: what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:39] DasEi, which one belongs to lock screen, how can I find [22:39] KM0201, lucid [22:39] ZykoticK9: torrentflux looked outdated based on torrentflux.com [22:39] SidP: did you just install it? [22:39] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: i think rtorrent may be worth looking into [22:39] KM0201, yes [22:39] DasEi, cat initscript | grep -i lock? [22:39] n_i_x|ZzZzZz, ya - that's kinda true [22:39] penthief: fdisk shows that different, if so, should be able to use windows to format it [22:39] SidP: google suggests it's fully supported in 10.10.. maybe consider installing the current version [22:40] DasEi: Well I have a couple of things to try then. Thanks for your help! [22:40] ahhh ok! do i just upgrade or consider a reformat and then install? [22:40] cu [22:40] bluezone_: besides application preferences, nothing of importance, and even those applications weren't important [22:40] hi, what is the channel for scoritsh people using linux? thanks [22:40] intok, first of all i would suggest reinstalling that ubuntu driver, if that doesn't work then get one from here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2301&DwnldID=13815&lang=eng&iid=dc_rss [22:40] SidP: either one i guess.. i always clean install.. .boot a live CD(or USB) of 10.10, and see if your wifi works. [22:40] SidP: Upgrade is easier -- but I always advise to go for full clean install. Heh. [22:41] xMOLATZEN_DUx, try #scotlug [22:41] Russia, hummm [22:41] i have problem with netbeans, it gave me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/548670/ [22:41] KM0201, red2kic i haven't done anything to the system yet so if i go for the upgrade, is there anything that could go wrong or anything i need to worry about? [22:41] Dr_Willis: rtorrent looks like it's ncurses based... I rarely download torrents tho so I guess it's fine [22:42] Russia, it is wierd because i also did 10.10/ win v7 mind you i havent went back to windows yet [22:42] that warning shows after i install ruby and ruby on rails in netbeans [22:42] SidP: well, your wireless isn't working now, so ig uess there's the risk of it not working in the upgrade, but like i said, i don't upgrade, ever [22:42] SidP: Something always go wrong. It's the fact of life. Look at you. Brand new Lucid install and you got no wireless. [22:42] KM0201, ok then i shall usb it. that is an option right? [22:42] red2kic, yeah i just got this laptop but on the previous one, it worked out of the box [22:42] bluezone_: Would I be able to access all my files by booting from a LiveCD, possibly? [22:42] SidP: do a fresh install, its much cleaner... second when you do the install don't let your kernel update to kernel 2.6.35-24 there are bugs in it... its posted and noted in the forum [22:42] SidP: i would think... download the ISO, and boot it.. and see what happens.. also, are you download 32 or 64bit? [22:42] Russia, yeah you will [22:42] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: i thinkit has a web interface plugin. [22:43] Ohmigosh! [22:43] SidP: Any chance you have hard switch off? (external wifi swtich0. [22:43] People are talking! [22:43] Russia, make backups for now i guess [22:43] KM0201, i was just about to ask that. my laptop has 6gb of ram, what should i go for? [22:43] :D === bluezone_ is now known as bluezone [22:44] SidP: i always use 64bit if the hardware supports it [22:44] SidP: I'd go with the 64 bit if you have 6GB of RAM [22:44] red2kic, it's got one of those touch buttons so i can't really make out... i think it is on becuase it says device not ready in the menu. when i press it again, it goes to wireless disables [22:44] О_о есть кто? [22:44] SidP: if you get the system up and running and have wifi issue pm me [22:45] SidP: Meh. Go for the clean Maverick installation. Report back. If not, then you probably need one of the drivers. Nothing wrong with having fully updated system. :) [22:45] Dr_Willis, needlez thanks have started the download. will get back to you if it persists [22:45] SidP: kk keep me posted [22:45] red2kic, oh i've been at it for so long now. just got the machine a week back. all was going well but just couldn't resist UBUNTU any longer. hahah i guess i'm addicted to it [22:45] needlez, sir yes sir [22:46] SidP: thx [22:46] bluezone: So, no Idea what's wrong? [22:46] Есть [22:46] Well, I guess I'll start backing up my comp now... [22:46] needlez, red2kic another question. do i keep a seperate partition for root and data? [22:46] hi people [22:46] what's the name of the git package ? [22:46] ahhh a cookie monster j/k [22:47] git? [22:47] Russia, if you already unplugged and replugged you harddrive no, i would have to be there to see whats wrong xD [22:47] * c00kiemon5ter secretely steals a cookie from skulltip [22:47] :D [22:47] IF I install ubuntu on a USB (not live mode, actually install), would anything mess up if I booted it onto multiple machines? [22:47] bluezone: I could try doing that, if you think I should [22:47] SidP: Well, if you wish to preserve your data, you should create a separate partition for /home. I do keep backup of /etc/ for system-wide configuration. [22:47] racines, yes [22:47] !info pngcrush [22:47] pngcrush (source: pngcrush): optimizes PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.9-1 (maverick), package size 57 kB, installed size 156 kB [22:48] racines, you will not be able to boot this on a machine of different arch [22:48] red2kic, could you guide me on how to do it? [22:48] so I'm better off using persistance mode? [22:48] skulltip: I have no idea, I just want to explain some things to some people, and they have to install git first ... :/ [22:48] SidP: I'm more comfortable syncing all my data to my computer than creating partitions. [22:48] !home | SidP [22:48] SidP: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:48] thanks :) [22:48] racines, other than that there should be no problem [22:48] bluezone: You think it's something I should do? [22:48] Dr_Willis: I just found transmission.. looks pretty good.. not sure if it performs as well as rtorrent.. but with my limited use it may be okay [22:48] well what would you personally do? persistance mode or an install on a USB? [22:48] i was being smart allec [22:49] SidP: I'm not sure but if you install Ubuntu, there should be separate home partition options (I don't use Desktop CD) [22:49] Russia, sure just make sure your computer is off while you do it, and un plugged (and while its unplugged press the on button 3 times to make sure/) [22:49] and don't bend any pins [22:50] red2kic, i remember having it done before but i don't quite know how to do it anymore. i'll google it. anyway the version i'm getting reads amd 64. i have intel processor. that ok? [22:50] bluezone: It's a lappy, I just need to remove my batt. [22:50] is remote desktop access unsafe/unsecure to use? it seems to be the true concept of what I would call a private cloud [22:50] SidP: amd64 is just a name for x86_64 (because amd came up with it first). Having intel or amd processors.... either are fine as long as your machine are capable of 64bit. [22:50] Russia, right :) [22:50] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: that one is python based. its the default on normal ubuntu installs. [22:51] red2kic: I would do a normal install. About the only hardware configuration not done automatically durin boot is if you've installed proprietary drivers. [22:51] Russia, wat === David is now known as Guest623 [22:51] SidP: i386 stands for 32bit. amd64 stands for 64bit.

[22:53] LoRez [22:53] * Arachon heads over to #ubuntuone [22:53] that's where all the work is now, and maybe india [22:53] Thanks [22:53] elricsfate: clarify what you mean. [22:53] Dr_Willis, do you have a pic i can hold? [22:53] skulltip, yes i'm indian :) [22:53] red2kic, indeed [22:54] Dr_Willis: When I pick theme while other window's will remain themed (for example if I pick a theme with black window bars the windows bars are black in all windows but nautilus) [22:54] can someone point me to documentation on how to set up an email server under ubuntu, one that starts at a pretty basic level [22:55] elricsfate: you're not running nautilus as root? [22:55] VCoolio: Normal user. Unless it started itself as root for some reason. [22:55] elricsfate: Try killing nautilus. "nautilus -q" [22:55] niadh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [22:55] hi, i'm having some trouble with notify-send - it doesn't show the notification on screen for some reason. Please help [22:56] I just installed ubuntu 10.4 on my hard drive using a LiveCD 2 days ago, and I upgraded to 10.10 yesterday. I daul-boot win7 on the computer ubuntu is on. I was just on windows 7, and rebooted to go on ubuntu. However, upon turning the computer back on, I get the messages "no module name found" and "aborted. press any key to exit", and I can't boot onto win7 nor ubuntu. any idea what's wrong? [22:56] hello, i have this warning in netbeans http://paste.ubuntu.com/548670/, how can i fix it? [22:56] rampageoberon: any error output? [22:56] jgke08 are you still here? :D [22:56] geekbri: Does that include setting up email addresses for a domain too? [22:56] that seesmt o have worked [22:57] thanks guys [22:57] weird bug :/ [22:57] niadh: there are links to more guides at the bottom. i believe it might have it in that one though [22:57] VCoolio: no error, returns me to the command prompt again promptly [22:57] geekbri: Thanks, will look into that [22:58] Russia, sorry for the useless reply, but do you know if things work on a fresh install of 10.10? [22:58] Kelocena: Hm? [22:58] rampageoberon: that's normal, but it should show the popup of couse [22:59] All I know is I've had trouble with using the "upgrade" button in Update Manager before, but reformating and freshly installing fixed the issue. [22:59] VCoolio: just noticed it wasn't working, last time i tried using it was with hardy where it worked fine. Unfortunately no popup shown [22:59] I've heard other people say that too. But I'm no expert. Sadly. [23:00] My sound isn't working on 10.10. Model is Realtek ALC889A [23:00] I'm getting the MacBook Air 11" with 1.4ghz C2D. I love its size, but am concerned about futureproofing. the most CPU hungry thing I do is to occasionally compile GNOME Shell. it won't be underpowered, right? [23:00] ohei. Join the broken sound club :D [23:00] :-) [23:01] What's wrong with your sound? [23:01] wers: i think itd be fine. a core 2 duo is pretty hefty [23:02] MadPierrot, it doesn't work at all? [23:02] Kelocena, bluezone No it doesn't work at all [23:02] wers: i have a 2ghz c2d and it runs at 800mhz most of the time [23:02] I'm pretty sure my issue is a bug. And I posted on the forums and no one has replied. Huzzah. Should I report it? >_> [23:02] MadPierrot, now for the devastating question, are you sure it is not on mute? [23:02] hurr hurr [23:03] Kelocena: yes. ubuntu-bug -s audio [23:03] bluezone, I am pretty sure it isn't, but I'll double check :-) [23:03] Russia, may be you need to reinstall grub from liveCD [23:03] Sergey_IT: Can you tell me how to do that? [23:03] maco, sounds good [23:03] MadPierrot, yeah... it might be one of those "wheres the eras..." ow crap it is in my hand things :) [23:04] how can I uninstall a file I installed via sudo apt-get install fgfs-atlas ? [23:04] bluezone, Yeah it's not muted [23:04] hihihi100: sudo apt-get purge fgfs-atlas [23:04] hihihi100, sudo apt-get remove'name' [23:04] MadPierrot, how are you trying to test your sound though [23:05] bluezone, I'm playing an mp3 I know works, and I have also done the aplay stuff [23:05] Sergey_IT: If I have 10.10 on my HDD, would it matter if it was a 10.04 LTS liveCD? [23:05] hi [23:05] MadPierrot, can you do lspci please? that is wierd [23:05] Maco: I have no idea what that is. It looks like shell. Why are you throwing shell at me? D: [23:05] you sure you have the mp3 codecs right [23:06] Pretty sure, lemme double check the aplay thing again [23:06] Kelocena: thats the command to report an audio bug and automatically include a whole bunch of audio debugging info to make it easier for developers to fix your bug [23:06] ooooh [23:07] MadPierrot, i guess you can try : ubuntu-bug -s audio, not my idea though, it is maco's xD [23:07] Hey, my sound occasionally stops working. Is there a daemon that i should reset to get it to work again? Note: restarting always solves the issue [23:07] bluezone, the output for the lspci is long [23:07] Russia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [23:07] You want the whole thing, or just the sound? [23:07] See... the thing is... about debugging. I don't even know what to do. No, I know how to get the info. It's just, I don't even know where to begin. [23:08] MadPierrot copy and paste to pastebin [23:08] wafflesausage: possibly some program's not releasing the sound device when its done? you can kill them all and reset the sound drivers with: sudo alsa force-reload [23:08] Sergey_IT: Thank you [23:08] Dr_Willis: transmission documentation sucks terribly... I got the web interface setup but have no idea what the username and password are.. and there are no settings in settings.json for it [23:08] bluezone, http://pastebin.com/BJ6RCV0R [23:08] Russia, be carefull [23:08] Can anyone give me a command to find the UUID of a drive? [23:08] maco: thanks [23:08] Sergey_IT: Big risks involved, I'm assuming? [23:08] !blkid [23:08] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:09] Kelocena: thankfully there is a team of people working to ask the right questions on the bug reports :) that command's auto-magic stuff keeps them from having to ask for the same set of log files and hardware info from everyone though so you get fewer questions in your email to answer about the bug [23:09] In xterm, I can no longer access options using ctrl-click. Any idea why? [23:09] jose__: ubottu's last thing was at you [23:09] hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout? [23:10] MadPierrot, in the meanwhile try ubuntu-bug -s audio [23:10] Sergey_IT: Would it be ok if the liveCD i have is ubuntu 10.04? [23:10] Maco: So they'll tell me what I need to get the debug info from? [23:10] Russia, better to use 10.10 CD, but i'm not shure [23:10] Kelocena: yep [23:10] bluezone, Yeah that's what I am doing right now [23:10] Alright thanks, man that's precisely what I was looking for. [23:10] yaaay [23:10] MrKeuner: You want to run a script that runs a command after you logout? [23:11] Sergey_IT: If I'm not mistaken, 10.10 and 10.04 LTS bot use grub2 [23:11] how can I make a big empty file (say 200GB...) without preallocating the space for it? [23:11] Yeah, I'm pretty sure about that too. [23:11] wafflesausage, before logging out [23:11] Russia: if new installs. upgrades dont change it though -- too dangerous [23:11] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: i never use it. so no idea. there may be a .transmission dir/file or somthing. [23:11] wafflesausage, I'd like to run a unison command [23:11] maco: Does that mean a 10.04 liveCD would work? [23:12] Russia, yes, fnd there is special recovery disks for repaire grub [23:12] Russia: to modify grub2? sue [23:12] *sure [23:12] would compiling huge software like GNOME Shell be significantly faster on an SSD? [23:12] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: with the gui here. I just 'enable web inteface' and connect to -> http://localhost:9091/transmission/web/ dident even need a username/pass by default [23:12] MrKeuner: Oh yeah, you'd kind of have to. I think there might be something that you can put in cron to do that, but i'm not sure [23:13] Russell``, google 'super grub loader' .. a live iso to boot windows and linux OS's [23:13] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: theres a 'use authencation' option where i can set a name/pass. but its greyd out by default [23:13] maco: So, I could use a 10.04 livecd to repair my grub.cfg so I can boot into my comp again? [23:13] Russia: yeah [23:13] how can I make a big empty file (say 200GB...) without preallocating the space for it? [23:13] wers, get ram-ssd for ultra fast compile times, firend of mine has ram-ssd and flash-ssd, and project that took 2 min to compile , he said it compiles in 5-7 sec [23:13] maco: Wonderful! thanks for the help, I was afraid I'd have to format my hard drive [23:14] lucas_: ext4 has some 'extents' feature that does that i thought.. but ive no idea how you would manually force it to do that. [23:14] lucas_, how do u mean?? it kinda sounds impossible,, have u got 200 to spare? [23:14] Dr_Willis: hrmm.. it prompts me for a username and password here... I've got no GUI and there are no username/password params in the settings.. k.. I'll keep digging [23:14] rooks, cool [23:14] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: Use ssh -Y to forward the GUI? [23:15] MrKeuner: Try creating a file called .bash_logoutand see if it works. anyway, i gtg [23:15] Russell``, ur best to use the 'super grub loader' to get into ur OS,, then from there to re-install the grub.. [23:15] .bash_logout ** [23:15] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: Furthmore, install transmission-qt (forward the X). Configure your setup. Then uninstall it afterward. [23:16] well, was just thinking about dynamic disks, like vhd on windows, where you begin with some Kbytes, and the file grows as things are written on it... [23:16] ohei [23:16] Russia, google 'super grub loader',, live iso to boot windows and linux,, ur best to use that and then reinstall grub when in ur OS [23:16] I noticed something about my sound setup ahahaha [23:16] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: i just set a password/username and the config file then had --> "rpc-username": "bubba", "rpc-password": "{9060cdd3b163a0e93d35795149852df900a1d , and "rpc-enabled": true, [23:16] MadPierrot, seems a lot of people are having problem with that card [23:16] I'm such a ditz sometimes. [23:17] Kelocena: it was muted? [23:17] No. [23:17] red2kic, if i run the update manager, it will install the 2.65 kernal right? [23:17] bluezone, Yeah I guess so. It is very frustrating [23:17] yea.. I tried that password in the config but no-go.. is that a hash maybe? [23:17] In the audio group it was all ":pulse,user" [23:17] I don't even. [23:17] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: its some sort of hash. yes. [23:17] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: theres also --> "rpc-authentication-required": true, [23:18] Kelocena: are you not using pulse? [23:18] So yeah. Fixed that >_> [23:18] n_i_x|ZzZzZz: set that to false and it may not need a name/pass [23:18] I am. [23:18] trojan: Could you just give me the link to it? I can't exactly get on google currently [23:18] Well, let me reboot (or is relogging in good enough?) and we'll see if what I did fixed anything. [23:18] trojan: I have all my personal data on a truecrypt volume of that size, and I am afraid it becomes corrupted.

[23:27] <`s> Hey, everyone. I need to repair old ubuntu server. I think it's breezy badger, it has very old kernel, and apt-get ins't working, what should I do? [23:27] Hello! I believe I am where I ask questions... so hold on a minute thanks =) [23:27] :) [23:27] !eol | `s [23:27] `s: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades === arec is now known as BeNek [23:28] `s: Back up everything. You're pretty way behind for a server. [23:28] How can I get over-HDMI audio working? [23:29] hey guys, ive just installed Ubuntu netbook on my netbook (asus 1015pem) but i have some problems with speed nad display...can anybody help on that? [23:29] According to alsamixer, ALSA is using the wrong codec. So I'm like "trollolol, silly ALSA" and added options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-sky to my alsa-base.conf [23:29] I have problems installing ubuntu 10.10 64bit. In the live CD the included Gparted crashes whenever I attempt to start it. Also I have problems making partitions when I try to install. I have downloaded multiple times, and used 2 different computers to burn my cd. Any ideas? Thankss === randy is now known as Guest10330 [23:29] <`s> red2kic, Oh, I see. So no way to upgrade while it's working, right? [23:29] fennecfox, did you check the md5sum of the iso image and did you burn it at 1x ? [23:29] Aaaand. No luck. It didn't fix my sound issue. Which is weird. Because this fix worked in both 9.10 and 10.04. === michael is now known as Guest25451 [23:30] Dr_Willis: ahhh.. yes it was a hash... The ssha1 encrypted password (starts with a '{') needed for remote access. [23:30] A new password can be entered via command line utilities or directly in plain text and will replaced with the encrypted version when the configuration file is next saved. [23:30] coz__ I burned it at minimum speed I believe at least once, last time was at 10x, I did not check the md5sum [23:30] coz_ how would I go about checking md5sum [23:30] fennecfox: md5 filename [23:30] Kelocena: lspci -vv | grep -A1 0403 [23:31] hello, my kaffeine is showing my dvb card as digital tv is it normal? [23:31] fennecfox, when the live cd begins to boot you should an accessibility icon and and keyboard logo ...if you hit enter at that time you will see options check cd for erros and memory test...did you run either of those? [23:31] Kelocena: what's the SSID? [23:31] fennecfox, are you burning this on a linux machine or a windows machine? [23:31] Kelocena: adding things to alsa-base.conf usually takes a reboot to go into effect, btw [23:31] fennecfox: sorry md5sum filename [23:31] Yes, I know. [23:31] I did that. [23:31] anyone know how to prevent vlc from resizing after it's done playing a video? It keeps maximizing to the full screen size when it's done playing a video. [23:31] `s: You can't upgrade because they moved old releases to different places. You have to change /etc/apt/sources.list if you want to upgrade. It might be easier to backup everything important and go for lts/latest server installation. [23:31] hey all quick question i want to make an iso image of opensuse on a cd what program should i use i am running ubuntu 10.04 atm and winxp [23:32] tapout, open vlc with no video ...resize the window ...ti should remember that [23:32] Maco: The command you gave me did nothing as far as I can tell. [23:32] hello.. i have a problem with dual screen support in ubuntu [23:32] can anyone help? [23:32] burz, there is something callme suse studio I believe let me check [23:32] coz_ I burned on windows machine using InfraRecorder on the xp machine, I think I used the same app on windows 7 machine. I did not check cd for errors or memory test but why would that happen multiple times [23:32] Kelocena: didnt print anything? [23:32] hi [23:32] * Kelocena blinks [23:33] liminal, you're trying to hook-up your computer to another screen and use both? [23:33] I'm having problems with playing original dvd [23:33] bluezone im try [23:33] No? Unless you mean like, with a printer... and ours is out of ink.... [23:33] im trying to use both screens at the same time [23:33] :p [23:33] liminal, what appears on the other screen? [23:33] I need to get files off my computer and onto another. Would a SSH connection over crossover cable be the correct method? [23:33] fennecfox, ok on windows I believe there may be some freeware md5sum but instead reload the live cd... hit enter when you see the keyboard and accessibility icons at the bottom and run the "check cd for errors" [23:33] I've installed libdvdread4, but doesn't work [23:34] has anyone played originals dvds on ubuntu? [23:34] Ah well. It's dinner time. [23:34] bluezone its truely werid.. but when I turn the other screen on, the output on the first screen changes. [23:34] later [23:34] burz, http://susestudio.com/login join that and you can create your own iso of suse as well as test it online http://susestudio.com/login [23:34] coz_ will do, don't expect results immediatly or anything, I'm not planning on doing it now =/ [23:34] Holy god this is a busy channel. [23:34] fennecfox, ok [23:34] razieliyo, you can get plugins for the video player that comes with Ubuntu. [23:34] Thanks [23:34] basicly I just get the background desktop, but nothing else. [23:34] jose__, what plugins? [23:35] jose__, I've installed lots of plugins [23:35] liminal, nvidia card? [23:35] liminal, hmm? on the other screen, when you have ti plugged in, does it show your desktop background with no shortcuts on it? [23:35] but it still says error msg [23:35] n_i_x|ZzZzZz coz_ Thanks guys hopefully I can get this working and wont have to come back for help from this great community =D [23:35] need help with ubuntu netbook edition! [23:35] fennecfox, run that check cd and then reboot and run the memory test as well [23:35] razyeliyo not sure I didn't make the change. Give me a sec, I'll go ask him. [23:35] How can I get over-HDMI audio working? [23:36] k [23:36] now if youll excuse me im going to find a irc channel for complaining about wireless problems (not linux haven't installed that yet lol) [23:36] bros, over hdmi audio is annoying to use, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't what exactly is happening in your case? [23:36] bluezone, I haven't yet configured the other screen [23:37] because the first screen gets messed up [23:37] and i need to configure it from that screen [23:37] liminal, define messed up [23:37] bluezone: it isn't showing up in aplay -L/aplay -l, I think [23:37] Hi I would like to know if is possible to delete alsa and keep just pulseaudio, because I really dont know how to open pulseaudio in sound is always alsa open [23:37] I configured Ubuntu to use digital audio out, it doesn't work [23:37] messed up is the best defintion. [23:37] linusasus6: i dont know how you'd use pulseaudio with no sound drives [23:37] linusasus6: drivers* [23:38] but i see my background desktop [23:38] but nothing else [23:38] no panel, no mouse [23:38] no icons [23:38] maco so then how to open pulseaudio ? [23:38] linusasus6: what do you mean "open" it? [23:39] linusasus6: start-pulseaudio-x11 is the command to start it, though it should automatically do that on login [23:39] bros, are you getting video output from your hdmi cable? [23:39] does a journaled filesystem (like ext3) keep a history of file copies/deletes etc? [23:39] bluezone: yes, i am speaking to you from it right now [23:40] maco I want to configure the sound with pulse audio and the command doesnt work [23:40] bros, have you tried unplugging and replugging it? [23:40] linusasus6: which command? id use pavucontrol [23:40] bros, be sure that ur g-card doesnt need a wire put in somewhere [23:40] bros, let me think i remember there was a way to choose default device [23:40] anyone speak or write arabic? [23:40] bluezone: yes [23:41] red2kic, im back! it worked but i have the kernel by defualt [23:41] !arabic | chd [23:41] chd: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [23:41] red2kic, im back! it worked but i have the kernel by defualt. the one you asked me to stay away from [23:41] !info linux-image | SidP (but you already left) [23:41] SidP: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image..

[23:42] person: #ubuntu-beginners [23:42] red2kic, i think you asked me to stay away from the 2.6.35 kernel [23:42] just installed the java openjdk and I'm getting an error that googling tells me is because i didn't 'javac' it first which I did. Is there some environment variable I'm missing? http://paste.ubuntu.com/548682/ [23:42] or maybe it was needlez [23:43] bluezone correction I do see a mouse [23:43] red2kic: I think I was the one who advised this... it is because most computers have issues with it. There is a bug with how the usb system handles things [23:43] liminal, drag the window you want projected to the right [23:43] thanks [23:43] needlez: Ahh.

What are you trying to do? [23:48] upgrade** [23:48] yes.. i know. [23:48] im not. [23:48] needlez, red2kic so when i run the update manger, it's going to update the kernel too right? [23:48] mount the .iso for what? [23:49] SidP: Are you on 10.10 now? [23:49] hello I need some help.. [23:49] for installing [23:49] red2kic, yup [23:49] ubuntu [23:49] SidP: Run "uname -r" [23:49] in win 7 [23:49] juniour you burn the iso [23:49] Could anyone tell me how to edit files you can only access through root? [23:49] to a disk or put it on a usb flash drive [23:49] using software like demmon tools [23:49] yes its .22 red2kic needlez [23:49] yes it prolly will just make sure you unmark the -24 kernel update and you should be good to go [23:49] no in my hard disk [23:49] Like what file? [23:49] linusasus6: *what* other command? [23:49] i almost got it working by refering to my graphics card busid within one of two devices within my xorg_conf [23:49] anyone using archive mounter? Why doesn't it show all files when I mount an ISO? [23:50] I kept the screens but lost my mouse pointer. [23:50] SidP: If the kernel didn't work, you always can hold SHIFT at boot up and roll back to older kernel. [23:50] To install it you have to boot from it, this can only be achieved by first burning the .iso [23:50] great! needlez red2kic thanks for the help. how do i get that dried leaf background from 10.04 hahaaha [23:50] I edited the bashrc root file in my home folder with root access using echo to make an alias..I want to remove that alias. Could anyone explain how?

Could anyone explain how? [23:51] oh, okay that's a different story [23:52] jose_tell me [23:52] Isonyx, $ nano ~/bashrc [23:52] red2kic, yuuup! gonna go do that and off to bed i am. thanks [23:52] then, Isonyx, just edit it and delete the information you entered. [23:52] thanks again needlez [23:52] I don't think I can help there sorry. I've never used virtual box [23:52] SidP: No problem. Goodnight. [23:52] SidP: np [23:52] k [23:52] I mean $ sudo nano ~/.bashrc [23:52] hat r u there to help me [23:52] with virtual box [23:53] But I suppose you'd mount the drive on the virtual machine [23:53] once I do nano how do I edit the file? [23:53] when i plug my phone ubuntu recognizes the drive but there's no partition in dev/ i see /dev/sdc but no /dev/sdc1. when i try to mount sdc it obviously fails, but after this, there is now a /dev/sdc1 [23:53] does anyone know why this happens? [23:53] Yes. Unless I am mistaken, typing at a terminal $ sudo nano ~/.bashrc should do it [23:53] Isonyx, did you enter the command? And if so, what is happening on your computer? [23:53] hey red2kic: got a question for you if you think you can help... When I run totem after a movie has stopped playing gnome-power-manager wont kick in, so my computer won't sleep any ideas?? [23:53] help me [23:54] ? [23:54] search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID] does anyone know what this does? [23:54] any one knows abt virtual box [23:54] juniour: whats your problem?? [23:54] It's in grub.cfg [23:54] needlez: I use vlc [23:54] Isonyx: why did you use sudo in your home folder? [23:54] Yes, I entered the command. I'm getting basically a blank screen with options at the bottom IE ^G Get Help ^O WriteOut [23:54] and so on [23:54] needlez: Perhaps because totem is still running. [23:54] juniour: i now the vbox homepage has a rather large manual on it.. and theres wiki and forum threads on using it.. [23:54] red2kic: I get this issue in VLC and Mplayer as well [23:54] needlez i wanna install ubuntu 10.04 in win 7 through virtual box [23:55] At the top it says GNU nano 2.2.2 File: root/bashrc Modified [23:55] needlez: Any chance you have "inhibit applet" toggled on? [23:55] Okay, you shouldn't be getting a black screen. [23:55] juniour: ok? [23:55] juniour: ubuntu worked very well for me in vbox last i tried it.. [23:55] I used su in my home folder [23:55] red2kic: idk ill check [23:55] Dr_Wills can u tell me the procedure [23:55] When I type it in, I see the bashrc file. [23:55] Anyone here able to help me fix my grub.cfg? [23:56] I dont. [23:56] red2kic: yes it is on [23:56] Isonyx: that's same as using sudo... i think when you saved the file you made that writable only via sudo access... :< [23:56] Are you certain you're typing it in correctly? Including the tilde and the period? [23:56] Dr_Willis can u tell me the procedure [23:56] juniour: run vbox.. follow the wizards.. point it to the ubuntu.iso boot it.. follow installer directons... [23:56] red2kic: so I'm assumin it shouldnt be ?? [23:56] juniour: theres not a lot to tell. [23:56] needlez: So the problem is solved, me think. It should be turned off. You only need it if you don't want screensaver to kick in. [23:56] Dr_willis first i have to mount the iso or not [23:57] Does anyone here know how to transfer files directly between two computers using SSH? [23:57] Even when I do sudo nano ~/bashrc I get the same result [23:57] Anyone here that's well versed in GRUB, I need some help. [23:57] jose__, whats the prob bud? [23:57] juniour: no.. vbox handles that.. you really should go read through the vbox docs... [23:57] I see your problem, Isonyx! [23:57] red2kic: ill test real quick ill be back in a few min if it doesnt work [23:57] k [23:57] needlez: Okay-dokey. [23:57] You need to type a period before typing "bashrc" because it is a hidden file. [23:57] Ah, great. What is it? [23:57] trojan I have two distros installed on a USB stick, but only one boots [23:58] So, "$sudo nano ~/.bashrc" should do it. [23:58] why do you need sudo to edit .bashrc ? that makes no sence [23:58] jose__, what distros? are u booted into 1 now? [23:58] maco I just want to open pulse audio because sound coming out of speaker and headphone in same time [23:58] Ah there we are. Thanks Hat. [23:59] trojan so I checked the grub.cfg file and I found a line I don't understand. Do you know what "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID]" actually does? [23:59] does a journaled filesystem (like ext3) keep a history of file copies/deletes etc? [23:59] followed instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD to restore Grub 2 to MBR, now not able to select windows when booting, boots straight to ubuntu [23:59] he told me he needed root access. I'm assuming someone changed the permissions, or it's not the one from the account he's on/ [23:59] Sorry, another question. How would you scroll down in a mode like that? [23:59] trojan yes, I'm booted into one. I have Ubuntu and Backtrack [23:59] alguien que hable español [23:59] Migi32: not that ive ever seen [23:59] Would you just need to you use key controls or is there an easier way? [23:59] jose__, terminal 'sudo update grub' ,, whats in that? [23:59] Dr_Willis: Perhaps he meant "sudo nano /root/.bashrc" :-P [23:59] Dr_Willis, ok thanks. Otherwise I'd ask how to delete it :P
