[00:00] konam: try clicking on the 'trash' icon on the left hand side in nautilus? [00:00] nvm] [00:00] samantha-, oh yes now i remember. (shame on me! i had this very issue a month ago at work...). there seems to be a bug in the current installer. [00:00] konam: i dont reccomend using nautilus as root. [00:00] im fucking idiiot [00:00] i find out olk [00:00] :P srry to much alko [00:01] ]cheers [00:01] shigeo, fix? [00:01] marcusdavidus, you're not very coherent, might i suggest you go sleep it off. [00:01] exit [00:01] konam: or the url -> trash:/// [00:01] soreau: i did that rmmod ati_remote and mythtv still crashes when you exit it [00:01] never did that before [00:02] but i think i need to solve this other issue first to see if it clears it up... Problem is mythtv loads at start but also mythbuntu prompts me to enter a keyring password and then a wpa2 password [00:02] like every time i boot [00:02] samantha-, i stumbled upon this bug while trying to install to a system with a fakeRAID. it seems that the installer (at least the graphical ubiquity installer) installs grub to the /dev/sda per default. my last status of this bug is that you have basically two choices...... [00:02] how do i make it not do that? i just want to have it save my wireless password and never ask me again [00:02] blud: you can set the keyring to not ask for its unlock password. [00:02] Dr_Willis_ i can't open that url, writing it on nautilus using 'location' [00:03] system -> perferances -> passwords and enc. right click on the login item,. and set a blank password. it will ask to 'use unsafe storage' [00:03] konam: and the trash icon on the left hand panel does what? [00:03] samantha-, you can either wait for ubuntu 10.04.2 next month or so (assuming you want the LTS), or you can boot into your system with external help, then issue a "grup-install /dev/sdX" where sdX is your hard disk. [00:04] shigeo, does lilo exhibit the same behavior? i'm certainly not married to grub. [00:04] samantha-: lilo is so old.. its proberly going to be very problematic these days [00:04] Please help me anyone!!! I get from wicd "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address". wicd sees the signal and scans the network but can not connect. The network is open. The first time the connection was successful but after 2 minutes gone. When working in opensuse with native drivers such samples do not. Everything is stable and long on the same network and on the same laptop. [00:04] Dr_Willis_: where do i set keyring settings or find keyrings or whatever [00:04] aand i'm installing 10.10 [00:04] samantha-, i would recommend using the "super grub disk" from http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ for booting your ubuntu, then issue "grub-install /dev/sdX" [00:04] blud i just said -> system -> perferances -> passwords and enc. right click on the login item,. and set a blank password. it will ask to 'use unsafe storage' [00:05] :) [00:05] ah sorry didnt see, i was walking back and forth to the linux box [00:05] Dr_Willis_ there's nothing there.. [00:05] blud: that icon has moved in 10.10 - compared to 10.04 i think. [00:05] konam: it may be the stuff is just getting deleted then.. not moved to trash. [00:06] Problem with Broadcom 4312 in Ubuntu 10.10 [00:06] samantha-, i like your attitude. i prefer LiLo myself on my other systems (gentoo and earlier slackware), but the ubuntu way is grub. LiLo does not have these problems per se, but the problem is not lilo, it's the ubuntu installer. [00:06] Dr_Willis_: I am using mythbuntu, doesnt seem to be there.. [00:06] I've got a cam stream up and running on my website via webcam-server but I want to add sound. How can I achieve this? [00:06] preferably in a way that won't cause them to be completely out of sync === XuMuK is now known as iFirTree [00:07] blud: the binary name for the tool is 'seahorse' i think. [00:07] Dr_Willis_ but... well, thanks [00:07] shigeo, i first got a copy of slackware 1.something via an ftp-to-email gateway ... i had like 22 floppies uuencoded and emailed to me over a FidoNet gateway. my sysop was ... pissed. [00:07] othe day i will ask again i guess [00:07] thanks [00:08] night all [00:08] I think it's time to go to sleep and wifi not working [00:08] i'm surprised this bug wasn't caught. this seems like a pretty simple show-stopper case. [00:08] solo_: Soon enough, broadcom will be releasing open drivers so their hardware will justwork [00:09] until then, it's proprietary driver nightmare [00:09] seahorse isn't even installed.. shoudl i install it? [00:09] im using xfce (mythbuntu) [00:09] solo_: But you never said what wasn't working about it. If you can see your AP, you should be able to connect [00:09] Hello, how can i remove a package including config files? with apt get [00:10] I've tried using VLC to stream but watching it only tries to download an endless binary file rather than watching it [00:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/339724 [00:11] epaphus: 'sudo apt-get purge' [00:11] soreau: I get from wicd "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address" but signal from network is good [00:11] I need to verify many files' CRC, so tried to §crc32 file.rar | grep - file.txt§ but it searches for the dash in the txt instead of the output of 'crc32'. Also tried replacing the dash with "{}" without output from grep, and reading grep's manpage was useless unless I missed something. [00:12] solo_: Is dhcp enabled? Is MAC Address Filtering on the AP? [00:12] epaphus: and in future read man pages [00:12] shigeo, i should perhaps retry with ext3? i'm not married to ext4 by any stretch. this is a crappy almost-netbook. [00:12] solo_: The other problem may be having NetworkManager, nm-applet and wicd all running at the same time [00:12] samantha-, i know. it probably has a lot to do with moving to grub2 or such. try the solution with the super grub disk and issuing "grub-install" [00:13] solo_: Instead you could try killing all processes then connecting with 'iwconfig wlan0 essid && dhclient wlan0' [00:13] shigeo, i booted from the usb stick to a root prompt. grub-install /dev/sdb didn't resolve it. [00:13] i know it's unrelated but happy new year ubuntu users! [00:14] i'll probably be cleaning a bathtub at midnight. [00:14] I'm running AMD64 on a quadcore processor... how can I tell if a process is using more than 1 core? (i.e. it's utilizing the processor correctly) [00:14] is it possible for the computer to suspend without dropping the wifi? [00:14] !quadcore [00:14] em, they are mutually exclusive [00:15] samantha-, nah i don't think it's a filesystem issue. i also don't think you can grub-instal from a usb-stick. because the usb stick has another environment and other parameters, so it won't install grub correctly. you should really try grub-install from your system. isn't there an option "boot from first hard disk" on the usb stick? [00:15] yo [00:15] mdpatrick, you can use htop [00:15] smw: then it should be possible for the laptop lid to close without suspending. [00:15] mdpatrick, it gives cpu usage by cpu. [00:16] em, it is, that is a power setting [00:16] shigeo, when the installer writes the mbr to the usb stick, that is the same as "boot from the first hard disk." root is /dev/sdb1, and /sda1 is unused. [00:16] smw: and on the HP Pavilion dv6t every time you close the lid it either suspends or goes blank and you never get the display back. [00:16] smw: not on the HP Pavilion dv6t [00:16] em, that is an overheating problem I think [00:16] I dont think so. [00:16] em, for some reason the gpu never restarts... [00:16] It's some sort of power management or kernel bug. [00:17] yes the gpu never restarts [00:17] em, I have no idea why. It is probably a driver/kernel bug [00:17] em, I have the same problem [00:17] How to pipe the output of "crc32" to grep or something which searches for the presence of the output in the given text file ? [00:17] in power management you only have four choices for what happens when the lid is shut: blank the screen, suspend, hibernate, or shut down. If you choose any but the first it will lose wifi, if you choose the first it loses the display forever until you turn it off and back on. [00:17] smw ^ [00:17] soreau: try [00:17] anyone have experience with install nvidia drivers? the installation fails, in the log it says: ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. [00:18] smw: If a process goes above 25% does that imply it's using more than 1 core? [00:18] ok so, I have this keyring that keeps asking for a password every time I boot the computer, I want to edit it somehow so it doesn't ask me for a password, so it just saves it forever. [00:18] mdpatrick, no [00:18] Blue... Redraft in recovery and then install nvii [00:18] bluezone: As it says, you need to turn off the Xserver to install in the way you are going about it. [00:19] Restart in recovery rather [00:19] happy new year everyone ! ;) [00:19] hmm [00:19] romana, another regeneration? [00:19] what if i just end the process, i don't trust installing things in recovery [00:19] samantha huh? [00:19] romana, if you don't get it now you never will :) [00:19] You could use a console login [00:19] samantha i know, right! :D [00:20] Is there a kernel option should I could specify during the loading of the LiveUSD (or LiveCD) that allows me to set the size of the tmpfs? [00:20] for the '/' [00:20] bluezone: First you will need to move off of the GUI to a terminal. Ctrl-Alt-F6 [00:20] samantha-, did you try the option "boot from first hard disk"? i'll check another idea meanwhile... [00:20] happy new years ya'll [00:21] bluezone: And then kill the Xserver sudo pkill gdm === petr is now known as _bro === GabrielYYZ_ is now known as Guest84602 [00:21] What is the name of the Aircraft Systems Engineering App in the ubuntu library? [00:21] Hello. I have a device (pen tablet) which has "custom" thingymajigs on it. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/312633/ Is some sample output, The top is the #1 special button, the lower is a mouse move to near the top of my screen. (xev doesn't get events from these buttons). How can I set these up? [00:21] Dr_Willis_ ok, had to come back, the files were convoluted in some .trash folders on my home folder. i just recovered about 5gbs after shift-delete them [00:21] thanks [00:21] usr13, out or curiosity what exactly is an xserver, if is not too much to ask [00:21] shigeo, i'm using the mini iso. there is no boot to first hard disk option, only rescue. [00:22] usr13: that is a horrible way to stop gdm.. use sudo sevice gdm stop .. instead [00:22] Hello! [00:22] Happy new year everyone! [00:22] Happy New Year!! === Guest84602 is now known as GabrielYYZ [00:23] soreau: with 'iwconfig wlan0 essid && dhclient wlan0' I get new interface -- wlan0:avahi inet addr:169.254.8.46 [00:23] Ubuntu is great right? [00:23] I guess so [00:23] I installed it today [00:23] No, it's absolutely terrible. [00:23] it's my first run [00:23] I wouldn't suggest using it -- it's bad for your health. [00:23] So I have wlan0 and wlan0:avahi ??? [00:23] samantha-, can you go into rescue? i don't know that option. maybe you can try it and see if it gives you some happy time. by the way: can you choose _not_ to install grub anywhere so that your stick doesn't get fried? [00:23] wow..well guess its time to switch to mac. [00:23] Causes cancer (only in California) and stuff like that. [00:24] shigeo, i'm trying a rescue install now. and i have the option of installing without a bootloader (or lilo, which i also haven't tried). [00:24] Oh no! Mac is even worse. It causes cancer AND retardation. === mike is now known as Guest27622 [00:24] I need a little help from you, is someone available? [00:24] What's the easiest way to see if a process is appropriately utilizing amd64 architecture or not??? Htop is neat, but I'm not sure it's telling me what i'm looking for. [00:24] ha....ohhh....cancer huh? [00:24] R0b0t1: and we see you've already been infected. [00:25] !ask | Musigreg [00:25] Musigreg: 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. :-) [00:25] who me, never [00:25] Ok, thank you [00:25] anyone ever use gadmin-samba? [00:25] samba, somebody like's windows [00:26] whats the question? [00:26] ooh, rescue mode has a "reinstall grub" feature where you can redo the boot loader with your choice of parameters. we'll see. ah, that worked. [00:26] !anyone | karma_police [00:26] karma_police: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:26] i'm trying to network my files on ubuntu so that windoze users can access them [00:26] hello ladies [00:27] mrdirtft, hello miss ;-) [00:27] Well, I have a problem with a file who is supposed to be an iso copy from one of my dvds, but i can't mount it. It says it's not a iso format something. [00:27] how can I make Google Chrome work in guest sessions? [00:27] shigeo, ty for the pointer :) is there an equivalent to debian's tasksel, post-install? to save time on my umpteenth installation, i only installed the base system, now i need to install the rest [00:27] karma_police, samba [00:27] Musigreg, how are you trying to mount it? [00:27] frxstrem, it should work [00:27] musigreg: sounds like you copied the file wrong to the disk. [00:28] samantha-: sudo apt-get install tasksel ... ubuntu came from debian, therefore it does [00:28] i'm trying to set my network up and cannot get it working.. i'm a noob.. here is my smb.conf file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549184/ [00:28] samantha-, yes! so everything works now? [00:28] yayoj1, I try to mount it with right click and then "mount", and the thing is, I can mount it on a windows machine [00:28] shigeo, apparently. it booted to prompt and tasksel appears to be thinking about what i've asked it to do. [00:29] k i solved my keyring issue.. just had to go edit the wireless connection, add the password there, and check the box "available to all users" [00:29] I tried burning it, but it's a dual layer dvd and i don't have a dual layer burner [00:29] smw: I just get an error saying something like "Failed to move to new PID namespace: Operation not permitted" or something like that [00:29] there it goes. downloading 22 of 892. [00:30] frxstrem, run it in a terminal, then pastebin all useful info. [00:30] frxstrem, let me try it [00:30] OKAY. [00:30] So now I'm HERE. [00:30] the files and folders i'm trying to share are on a usb hdd [00:30] how can a user be chrooted via ssh but not via sftp [00:30] smw: I ran it in terminal, and told you the error message [00:30] samantha-, good. thank $deity we didn't have to use LiLo (somehow i don't think ubuntu likes LiLo). [00:30] How do I edit the Applications menu in gnome by hand. [00:30] I'm meaning the actual FILE. I'm sick of gnome not adding applications. No I don't run Ubuntu, I was brought here by #gnome. [00:31] shigeo, i thought make zlilo was the best feature they ever added to the kernel ... saved me so much trouble ... [00:31] musicgreg: if it's an iso format copy of software you have to make sure the file is saved to the disk in that format or the copied image is useless. look for an iso mount application in the software center [00:31] frxstrem, yeah, I just tested it. I have no idea. I am going to look it up [00:32] samantha-, just for your info: my next try would have been to use "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda --recheck". or maybe use the usb live environment and then chroot into your installation. [00:32] MERRY NEW YEAR [00:32] yayoj1, I tried every mount applications I found, and they told me the same thing. [00:32] smw: umm...could it possibly be because I use the dev version? [00:33] frxstrem, nope, I am reading some technical info about it. [00:34] How do I check to see if the partitions I setup during my install are appropriately mounted at the correct mount points? [00:34] frxstrem, frxstrem it is not something that you can fix probably [00:34] yayoj1, is there a way for me to know which iso format is it? Cos all I've read was that it wasn't one particular format. But nothing tells me what it is... [00:34] mdpatrick, sudo mount [00:35] frxstrem, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31077 [00:35] How do I edit the Gnome Applications menu by hand? [00:35] musicgreg: when you right click the application, go to scripts and then mount iso. [00:35] musicgreg: try that [00:36] Hello. A Xen question: What is the most elegant way to automatically run a Xen domU after dom0 has finished booting? [00:36] happy new years eve people [00:36] frxstrem, you can use --no-sandbox [00:36] musicgreg: or what samantha wrote for terminal command. [00:37] mcpatrick, if you just want to look at partitions, 'mount' without sudo should be enough. [00:37] shigeo, samantha-: That did it. Thanks :) [00:37] Hum... [00:38] musicgreg:no luck [00:38] samantha-, you wouldn't accidentally know how i can create some cool xorg.conf with my ubuntu? [00:38] Could it be that the folder which the iso is in is named with a blank? [00:38] shigeo, nope. imo X is evil. long live the cli. :) [00:38] vlt_: xen questions in #xen please [00:39] tell me what USB is an external modem is better to buy that would not test with WiFi in Ubuntu. [00:39] musicgreg: named with a blank? what do you mean? === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun [00:39] in the path name === Shaun is now known as Shaun3 === Shaun3 is now known as Shaun [00:39] hmmm just wondering if anybody here an envision remote execution as being better facilitated than with a modified version of vbox? [00:39] yayoj1, there's a space in the name of the folder [00:39] can envision not an...lol [00:39] musicgreg: so it's something like this"dflg.blank" [00:40] yayoj1, sorry i'm not english, I try hard ^ [00:40] How to pipe the output of "crc32" to grep or something which searches for the presence of the output in the given text file ? [00:40] I was thinking vbox was a good choice because it can keep execution isolated to a virtual machine [00:40] and is open source [00:40] yayoj1, no it more something like media/doc 2/iso.iso [00:40] * Shaun hates the person that has a script set up to steal my nick whenever I go offline [00:40] how do i make firefox 4 in ubuntu look like it does on vista?

[00:41] GeekSquid: "crc32" is a Perl script, mind you, which checks the file's CRC and displays it. [00:41] whoa. ubuntu is cool. howard stern is my idol now i guess. thanks for your help. ttyl [00:42] rautamiekka: perl crc32 | grep search [00:42] happy new year [00:42] I was late sorry about that [00:43] musicgreg: misc. [00:43] boraklavun: you are early, i am in California [00:43] musicgreg: drag the file to the desktop, then try the right click to script then mount [00:44] what is the best way nto encrypt the laptop? [00:44] alfred, use ubuntu alternate installer. [00:44] alfred, did u try truecrypt [00:45] ok i'm starting to think this laptop just wasn't designed for linux to be used on it everything isn't working without lots of modding [00:45] shigeo, I will try truecrypt [00:45] truecrypt with aes 256 [00:45] in 10.10 how do I get my headphone jack to work when i plug them in [00:45] right now my audio only works from the internal speakers [00:45] yayoj1, copying [00:46] how can I find out what device file(s) represents audio in/out? [00:46] skullboy, is it the same as Easy Crypt ? [00:46] yayoj1, ok I mounted it, and a new icon appeared with the name of the iso [00:46] can i turn off the feature which asks for my password whenever i change a system setting? [00:46] i *lublublub* my SSDs. [00:46] yayoj1, and when i open it, there's no file inside [00:47] alfred, no it is way more scure [00:47] skullboy, I will install it, [00:47] alfred, secure** [00:47] skullboy, I hope I do not mess things [00:47] GeekSquid: It's run by simply saying "crc32". Syntax=§crc32 §. Tried §crc32 file.rar | grep sums.txt§, no output as if the sum wasn't in the file when it really is in there. [00:47] alfred, ok let me now how it goes [00:47] yayoj1, But the iso is 5.5Gig [00:47] musicgreg: yea the file was copied wrong. you gotta re-download the file from where ever you got it. [00:48] alfred, just use a .deb if u dont wanna mess up [00:48] skullboy, will it ask for the passkey when I restart the computer or it will when I log in ? [00:48] yayoj1, well I got the from burning a dvd which i don't have anymore... [00:48] skullboy, as newbie I used the ubuntu software center [00:48] GeekSquid: No difference with §grep -i§ [00:48] alfred, it will ask when u restart [00:48] yayoj1, nevermind, thank you anyway for your time [00:49] musicgreg: yea sure [00:50] skullboy, it asked me about truecrypt if installed , I download it [00:50] how to install it now ? [00:50] I extract it [00:50] skullboy, the command sudo dpkg -i name ?

Can Ubuntu be made to connect to the router using by using the button as well? [01:04] so if I"m using ubuntu, then I'm on gnome, which means kde applications will not work, correct? usr13 [01:04] they handle putting the boarders around your programs so you can drag them around, and multitask between them, they usually work with each other these days [01:05] heelo Adam__ and solifex [01:05] SPooN: You can run KDE apps, you just have to install some KDE libraries [01:05] do i absolutely need 4.6gb free discspace? [01:05] usr13, ok then. thank you [01:05] SPooN: K desktop environment is just a different look that uses a different toolkit ... and no, you can run kde apps in gnome and viseversa [01:05] i thought of installing it on a 4gb usb [01:05] i use gnome and ktorrent, and play tetris in kblocks === Rena is now known as Guest43508 [01:05] what are you installing that needs 4.6gb Raydiation [01:05] SPooN: ubuntu ofc [01:06] Raydiation, its going to be far slower running from usb than from a hard drive [01:06] sPoon:just enable kde in ccsm [01:06] coz_: i dont have a hd [01:06] Raydiation, what coz_ said [01:06] Raydiation, ah ok nevermind then :) [01:06] im just gonna use it as inet pc [01:06] hi, I've just installed Xubuntu 10.10 and it only detects one of my two displays on GeForce 6200 [01:06] Raydiation, then by all means run it from usb [01:06] SPooN: If you try to install a KDE application, (via the package manager), the dependencies will automatically be installed, so it's no problem [01:06] iirc it needs way less than 4gb [01:07] of course with usb3 this will change things [01:07] ok thanks user13 [01:07] thanks guys I installed now I will reboot and try it out, I hope I can login :) [01:07] good luck alfred [01:07] alfred: Time to celebrate :) [01:08] so i've installed Ubuntu onto my laptop, I wanted the notebook remix (thats what i installed) but it installed the desktop edition for some reason...is there a way to change this setting without reinstalling? [01:08] already done 3 hours ago :D [01:08] Xubuntu comes with novueau driver yes? [01:08] Senix: I would stick with what you have. [01:08] ahh the joys of beginning using linux, "i spent 2 hours to get truecrypt installed, now i hope i can still log in" ;P [01:08] Senix: what .iso image did you install from [01:09] sagaci, this image here http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [01:09] Senix: Senix you can customize it to your likeing (on your own) which is not much more than optomizing things for the small screen. [01:10] Guest43010, it should [01:10] usr13, look i want to try the netbook edition on my NETBOOK === Guest43508 is now known as Rena- [01:10] Guest43010, that doesnt mean you will have 3d acceleration with it however [01:10] i got told that desktop would be better for netbook unless u have touch screen [01:10] !mint [01:10] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:10] Senix: Then re-install with remix [01:11] Senix, you might fair better with the upcoming natty 11.04...even though in alpha it no longer uses mutter but compiz instead [01:11] well the wiki says it supports 3D and multihead on my card, but I only see one display in settings [01:11] Saladin: and that would generally be correct [01:11] Senix, although...as I mentioned, it is still alpha [01:11] coz_, are there any pointers as to when natty will come out stable? [01:11] http://freedomainradio.com/BOARD/forums/p/28810/221573.aspx#221573 [01:11] coz_, thank you for the recommendation [01:12] SPooN, yep on 2011 april thus the numbers 11.04 [01:12] :) [01:12] if it comes out on my birthday I will... well.... yea. april 7th [01:12] Senix, you can either download the alpha cd or the daily build which is slightly larger than a cd I blieve [01:12] xim_: Don't know if this helps, but my dual screen looks like this - http://www.picpaste.com/pics/1Selection_005-GjY5rHsd.1293844293.jpeg [01:12] SPooN: doubt it, usually late april [01:12] SPooN, yep by the end of april [01:12] coz_, may i get a URL for it? [01:13] ubuntu.com [01:13] Senix, sure which one the alpha cd or the daily? [01:13] cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ [01:13] coz_, daily build would be nice [01:13] Senix, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ [01:13] Senix, see what sagaci said [01:13] ty coz_ [01:13] Senix, it is a dvd however [01:13] coz_, i have dvds do not worry [01:14] ubuntu netbook 10.10 is the same thing or not as Unity? [01:14] Senix, download that iso ...checl the md5sums also listed on that page with your download and if possible , please burn it at 1x [01:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 <-- i asked b4 but would like to know if this works for most recent version ? 10.10? [01:14] Senix: does your netbook have a dvd drive [01:15] sagaci, ever hear of booting from usb? its quite nice [01:15] hey, what's wrong if I enter 'ß' and I get no 'ß' on the server side (ssh access)? [01:15] sagaci, good question [01:15] Alright, so this is gonna sound crazy, but is there a way to install ubuntu from ubuntu ? [01:15] Saladin, you might find that most of what is there is included in 10.10 [01:15] Senix: I know USB's quite well [01:15] Senix, mm I havent tried this from usb but good luck with it... which video do have on that netbook? [01:15] spoon just wondering as i used version 8.04 so out of loop [01:15] Saladin, otherwise most of it should work, unless the software itself has disappeared [01:15] coz_, lemme check [01:15] !unetbootin [01:15] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:15] Saladin, yup. [01:15] Senix, also .let me emphasize...this is alpha... expect some bugs [01:16] FishFace, how do you get to that monitor preferences window? I'm in the nvidia x server settings (in karmic) [01:16] spoon should i try to put in those command lines and if i do will it hurt my install? [01:16] coz_, yes i expected bugs, I have been using Ubuntu since its 8.04 days [01:16] Senix, and the best channel for natty is #ubuntu+1 [01:16] Saladin, have you installed 10.10 already? [01:16] Senix: you might not get the unity interface anyway, depending on the video card [01:16] I have a wubi install of ubuntu and I wanna do a full install on my usb drive. [01:16] coz_, my video would be "Intel Corporation 82801G" [01:16] xim_: System, Preferences, Monitors [01:16] my video card doesn't work with unity :( [01:16] !usb | FalseLobster [01:16] FalseLobster: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:16] Senix, that should work [01:17] spoon not getting rdy as the machine i am on is getting it and also i am at work;) [01:17] SPooN, which video card is it? [01:17] coz_, if only my wifi card was intel [01:17] an ugly intel integrated one [01:17] SPooN, although this should be talked about in #ubuntu+1 not here :) [01:17] fishface, they must not have that in karmic [01:17] coz_, its broadcom T~T [01:17] coz_, didn't know that existed :P [01:17] Senix, that one I dont know for sure....cant hurt to test out the live dvd though [01:18] xangua: I've been at this for a while. I have a very atypical set up I'm trying to create. Trust me, I've done my research... [01:18] FalseLobster, >>http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [01:18] coz_, will try [01:18] unless, of course, you don't have a dvd [01:18] SPooN, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for versions in the works [01:18] haha thats a smart name [01:18] How do I set a symlink to be able to be accessed and executed by all users (i.e, in the 'other' section)? [01:18] xim_: Yeah, I was on 10.04 and upped to 11.04 and this is how I have always seen it [01:18] ok thanks [01:19] Yep...good luck on that. [01:19] I wish my computer had more usb ports [01:19] ./random [01:20] lol SPooN - I'm sure everyone does [01:20] domjohnson, too true [01:20] !unetbootin SPooN [01:21] !unetbootin [01:21] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:22] forgive the newbie question, but where is startup disk creator in the menus? [01:22] GParted can create an NTFS partition, correct? [01:22] yes FalseLobster [01:23] I am back, the ecrypt was not what I am looking for [01:23] SPooN: System > Administration [01:23] SPooN: if you need any help with setting up a live usb, I should a pro at this by the time I'm done with mine. [01:23] Yeah guys, I need some help with a dual monitor setup [01:24] I've certainly spend > 6 hours working on this. [01:24] I need encrytion from the moment I start my laptop. [01:24] FalseLobster, I don't use live usb's I prefer to partition my harddrive, as its faster [01:24] where it ask me to input the passkey in order to continue the boot [01:24] alfred, truecrypt [01:24] alfred, what are you doing O.o [01:25] SPooN, trying to install crypt to my HDD [01:25] nit-wit, I installed it [01:25] nit-wit, but why I do not get the screen when I start my computer to input the passkey ? [01:25] SPooN: I just saw you lookin' at unetbootin stuff, so I figured I'd offer to help if you needed it... I agree with the speed, but I really don't know what else I'd do with such a massive flash drive. [01:25] alfred, that was an attempted joke wondering what you were/are doing that requires encryption :P [01:25] FalseLobster, true that, thanks for the offer :D [01:26] SPooN, :D [01:26] SPooN, if you attend "Legal Aspect" class, you will run and encrypt your computer [01:26] alfred, ok then haha [01:26] should I use a cd or dvd .iso to make a USB startup? [01:27] SPooN, we had class about the cyber security law etc... and you have no idea what ever in your computer can take you few years in jail :D [01:27] even if you install some back track, that might take you to jail [01:27] SPooN, because it is considered as hacking or attack tool :D [01:27] alfred, encryption can be cracked [01:27] that they didn t tell me :D [01:28] alfred, I haven't used it for whole OS just HD individually with data [01:28] haha [01:28] eh, I use disk encryption because there's little reason not to. :-p [01:28] :D [01:28] alfred, there is a manual I downloaded it. [01:28] SPooN, alfred: "As long as human makes something, a human will breach it", said by my dad. [01:28] hm doesnt the fglrx driver offer h264 support? [01:28] smart father [01:28] rautamiekka, [01:28] rautamiekka, respect to your father, sure he is right [01:29] SPooN, alfred: Yeah, figured he was correct in that. [01:29] rautamiekka, totta kai ;) [01:30] I do not know how I had the windows pop up when I restart my computer asking passkey to boot [01:30] now I can t get it back [01:31] mkdir is for making directory... how i can make file??? mkfile not work.. [01:31] i put my new dual head vid card (nv gts 450) in my pcie slot (karmic) and blew away all my old nvidia drivers etc, then i added the ppa and installed nvidia-glx-256 and nvidia-settings. when i first ran nvidia-settings it showed 2 screens in the layout, one on the right disabled, i enabled it to twinview and it just mirrored them, and then i switched to seperate x windows and rebooted and it still mirrors them. and now in the layout [01:31] it doesnt show them both in the same layout it just switches between them in the layout from the drop down box [01:31] Question, my girlfriend has a linksys wrt54g2 router.. she connects everything to it using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button... Can Ubuntu be made to connect to the router automatically using by using the button as well? [01:32] I've got a game that I play that resets my resolution down to 800x600 when I exit. what is a command in term to let me resize my resolution without having to go to the monitor control? [01:32] i cant extend the desktop to the other one [01:36] asdas: I believe you mean to make an empty text file. The "nano" is a text-mode text editor I use for anything done text-wise in text-mode. "nano FILENAME.EXTENSION" where 'FILENAME' is the file's name and 'EXTENSION' the extension of the file, like "py" for a Python script. [01:37] asdas, you can use touch to create a 0-byte file [01:37] Ah, I've forgot about "touch" [01:37] rewt: how i can use that? [01:37] touch filename [01:37] hello everyone, I'm using Puppy linux which I know isn't Ubuntu but it's similar and no one on the puppy chat can help me - so please, at least try to help me? I'm attempting to install a "Tenda W311U" adapter onto my Puppy linux, it's a USB WIFI b/g/n adapter.... [01:38] rewt: how i can change a file name ? [01:38] so, no harm/foul/offense intended, I'm just curious. But are all Ubuntu users Mint haters? [01:38] mv [01:38] the adapter won't accept any of the drivers im trying [01:38] SPooN, i like mints, but not too fond of mint chocolate [01:38] What to do next? [01:38] imran_: try a puppy channel please [01:38] to whomever mentioned qbittorrent in here earlier today, thanks.. just started using it in place of utorrent.. =) [01:38] how i can change a file name ? [01:38] asdas: mv [01:39] asdas: It would sound like you don't even know the basics of Linux. [01:39] mv file.txt filesss.txt ? [01:39] xangua: i did but people there said they knew nothing about networking... I was hoping since from what I hear and from what I've use puppy and ubuntu are somewhat similar, maybe you gyus could help... [01:39] yes, and with most commands you can use --help to see usage instructions [01:39] eg: mv --help [01:39] rautamiekka: exactly i dont know anything thats why im asking help. [01:39] imran_: then try a networking channel¿ [01:40] asdas: right click file in nautilus and rename === dnivra_ is now known as dnivra [01:40] hah [01:41] the command?? "mv file.txt renamed.txt" ??? [01:41] mv --help [01:41] read that [01:41] im just asking [01:41] could u give answer on what i ask if you could i will appriciate it [01:41] dont give me --help etc etc [01:41] it answers your questions [01:42] [03:41:14] the command?? "mv file.txt renamed.txt" ??? [01:42] a yes or not or a sample could help more.. [01:42] yes, if you type "mv --help" it will answer that question [01:42] omfg [01:42] anyonw know if its possible to play world of warcraft on ubuntu ? [01:42] could u answer or not [01:42] [03:41:14] the command?? "mv file.txt renamed.txt" ??? [01:43] why are you so afraid of reading the help? [01:43] iNdO, it is but I havent done it [01:43] rewt: wtf? [01:43] answer. [01:43] Just do "man mv" for more in-depth info. [01:43] or dont speak. [01:43] !wine [01:43] iNdO with wine, check !appdb to see status [01:43] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:43] iNdO, hope this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft. [01:43] asdas: mv oldname newname [01:43] is there anyway to reset my ip address? [01:43] asdas: You're not asking, you're repeating. That's why in IRC we always say your username as the first thing in a reply to catch your attention. [01:43] anything like that [01:43] asdas, you gotta learn how to help yourself. you can't rely on others for everything you'll do. [01:43] porkchop_: thanks a milion..

[01:44] rewt: you didn't break it down far enough. ;) [01:44] o.O [01:44] dnivra: how can I get the info which locale is currently set? [01:45] Im asking on how to rename, im new in linux so that dont show me anything [01:45] you didn't even try it [01:45] it will be more easy if you just answer on what i asked and not giving third parties answers. [01:45] -.- Does anybody know if there's a way in my router or computer to reset my IP address? Additionally, is there a way I can tell if I have a dynamic IP? [01:45] need to access ip address through iptables via vncviewer can't seem to get it to work [01:45] bweb, if $LC_ALL is the variable, just try 'echo $LC_ALL'. I'm not sure about how to get that info. i'll check. [01:45] FIRST line says: "Usage: mv [OPTION]...

Will check. Forgot to check hardware... [02:07] * Linux_Galore spent 40 min diagnosing a wifi problem once only to find there was a switch to turn it on [02:07] Linux_Galore, was that on a laptop? i did that exact thing once. an Hp [02:07] Linux_Galore, but it works in Vista when dual-booted, so doubtful. Currently am reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide/Devices to see if device is recognized (while trying to take care of 2yo toddler...) [02:08] kwtm, we need to know the chipset of the wireless device. In a terminal type in lspci and look for some thing like Broadcom 43xx [02:08] do Google phones run Linux [02:08] it will be towards the end [02:08] ? [02:08] ehh... yes and no [02:08] kwtm: next step is goto www.google.com/linux then search linux ubuntu "wifi chipset" [02:09] drx ye [02:09] Android is based on Linux but it doesn't really resemble it at all. [02:09] to be honest I don't know what they've done do it. it crashes randomly and has all sorts of other issues Linux normally does not. [02:09] kwtm: actually dont need the word linux in the search term [02:09] what is the best case material to protect an Android phone: plastic, silicon, rubber, carbon fiber or leather? [02:10] porkchop_: thats what i'm using. i don't know why i'm having problems [02:10] kwtm, follow what i told ya and i will help you without googling [02:10] !ot | drx [02:10] drx: #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! [02:11] Linux_Galore, we are here to help not send people off to google with some random "wifi chipset" searches. [02:11] kwtm: sometimes searching for your laptop model helps, I often find walk through howto's for set laptops with many hacks [02:11] !google | Linux_Galore [02:11] Linux_Galore: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:12] dnivra: ubuntu documentation doesnt always define specific laptop models hacks [02:13] help with iptables [02:13] lspci in a terminal will tell me what he has faster then google [02:13] Linux_Galore, true but neither does google search :). giving specific links and then asking them to search in google would definitely help since the other person may not know what to be looking for :). [02:13] aka the chipset [02:14] dnivra: example the laptop I am on msi x320 little if any documentation on the official site, in fact I found a blog in google with a complete ubuntu install walk including driver build details [02:14] Linux_Galore, thanks for advice. Currently it seems that the BCM4312 driver is not yet installed. When I try System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to install the Broadcom wireless STA driver, an error msg pops up: " SystemError: installArchives() failed" [02:14] I think its always a good idea to have the specs for you system ..desktop or laptop ...at hand when coming here as well..especially if new to the whole irc thingy [02:14] !iptables | ggreene [02:14] ggreene: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [02:14] kwtm, follow this guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:14] if you have the BCM43xx wifi chipset [02:15] r00t4rd3d, Thank you, will try.

I install xbcm live (10.04) fine but it will not boot from the disk. No error just cursor then black screen [02:15] sometimes I get scroll lock and caps lock flashing [02:15] kwtm , i have all the packages and instructions for that wireless card if you would like them.

[02:17] kwtm, PM [02:17] jkoch, plug it in; should be detected automatically. [02:17] It should be able to connect once u plug it in [02:17] plug it in and mount it?

[02:48] er, I guess econ should see that: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ '$(lsb_release -cs)' free non-free' [02:49] you could use ftp.... you don't need netbios and wins [02:49] well if i want to set it up so that a windows computer can see the share I do need to do this netbios wins stuff? [02:49] setup an ftp server, problem solved, it's less hassle than setting up a share and mounting it. [02:49] no windows computers can see ftp just fine right from the browser window [02:50] stealthc: but ftp is not a good solution because i'm dealing with large files and it would use my internet connection right? [02:50] or would i just connect to a local address... [02:50] not necessarily, you can setup ftp on your local network and it wouldn't require using an internet connection [02:51] your router likely has dns and other services on it that allow you to setup local stuff easy enough.... === StevenNM is now known as Steven99 === Steven99 is now known as Weirdo889 === Weirdo889 is now known as StevenNM [02:52] Happy new year to all! Is there some simple to understand guide for the command line alternative to alt+tab? ("fg" came up in search) I'm playing with a server which I have physical access to but prefer to ssh into for practice, rather than install gnome. Make sense? [02:52] the typical setup as a router using NAT and you have local address space, so you can connect to ftp via direct connection to the server's ip address, no need to go off your network [02:53] just define a static ip for the server using it's mac address, problem solved works fine with ftp. it's also easy to integrate into software if need be, ftp is pretty easy to do using a variety of library modules out tere [02:53] there meant [02:53] i never use samba or ftp. I use ssh and winscp :D [02:54] !screen | CT1 [02:54] CT1: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [02:54] i'd rather use samba, because then i dont have to install FTP clients on my various windows machines [02:55] lol windows comes with an ftp client, it's called explorer [02:55] mainly just because i dont want to use ftp for the sole reason that i 'couldnt figure out" how to do shared folders :p [02:55] yeah but its a crappy ftp client [02:55] at this point is a matter of principle, i need to figure out how to set up a network share [02:56] r00t4rd3d is is a good idea to try to use this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 post from like 2006 [02:56] trism: Thankyou!

[02:57] uname -a in a terminal [02:57] epaphus, lsb_release -r in the terminal. [02:57] epaphus, or system -> about ubuntu. [02:58] blud, if you look at the last page from November 2010 >Brilliant walkthrough - thanks! [03:02] epaphus, okay maybe stick to "lsb_release -rd". I think System -> About Ubuntu says 11.04 in 10.10. It does in my machine anyway. [03:03] How do I set my Empathy settings so that offline people DO NOT show up on my list of contacts?

[03:04] hahah [03:04] n1ea: sure [03:05] fishscene: buddies>show¿¿ or at least that is on pidgin [03:05] Yea, Pidgin can hide it, but I can't seem to find the option on Empathy [03:05] n1ea: it says it can't connect [03:05] I really hate scrolling through 200 contacts to find the one buried 2/3rds of the way down the list [03:06] n1ea: disclaimer: I haven't done DCC on this computer before; I believe it's set up properly, but I might be wrong.

Does anyone know of a good remedy to the situation (I try opening it with the media player). [03:08] Skypent: Have you tried using VLC? [03:09] I need help with an ubuntu theme that does not work [03:09] somebody please [03:09] Fishscene: Nope, is it included in a package, or should I dl it. [03:09] Before we go download VLC from the Software store, have you tried another DVD? [03:09] skypent: always search in Software Center first or Synaptic Package Manager [03:10] Im using the JULinux Ubuntu distro and I want the win7 theme and when I run the scripts the START button ends up not working... [03:10] Netflix DVD's don't do anything special, but they can get scratched and such. [03:10] This is the third DVD I've tried, (2nd netflix). I just had forgotten about this issue. [03:11] skypent: have you installed libdvdcss2? [03:11] @rww - I tried connect chat with you but it doesn't accept. Strange when I TAB for your name it doesn't go to it though. [03:12] Yea, you might not have the DVD codec's installed. These have to be installed separately because of pesky licensing issues. Many of these codecs can be found by looking for "gstreamer" on the ubuntu software center. [03:12] skypent, you need the restricted format stuff [03:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [03:13] Should I cancel the vlc dl from SPM? [03:13] yea, go ahead and cancel and check out the link that r00t gave. [03:13] Why can I connect to a computer on my local network using its IP address (192.168.0.197) but not its host/machine name? [03:13] if you dont want vlc and wish to us something else [03:13] n1ea: I'm getting requests and accepting them, but it's failing. [03:13] Using ssh [03:14] horseatingweeds: Using a computer name needs netbios enabled (which includes a proper directory server) or DNS entries on your local DNS server. [03:14] skypent: no realy, cuz vlc is still the best media player.. but you still need to install some restricted stuff [03:14] n1ea: doesn't work if I do passive dcc either, it seems. you might need to do so on your end. [03:14] horseatingweeds, i guess there is no way to convert the host name to the IP address aka DNS isn't there. [03:14] rww: I understand. I will apt-get purge xchat and ircw and see what happens. I found a workaround for cwirc - start xchat with command aoss xchat. Bye for now. [03:15] fishscene, dnivra, I'd have to add a line in the host file? [03:15] i need help with winamp and win98 [03:15] Can the vlc automatically use the libdvd codecs? [03:16] That would work... But if you don't have a static IP address or static DHCP entry, it might change and you'd have to manually update the host file again. [03:16] i've downloaded midi's and i want to convert them to the real songs [03:16] standing by for guidance. [03:16] Dola: If it's not related to Ubuntu, there's not much we can do to help you here. [03:16] ok..sorry i'm drunk [03:16] lol [03:16] skypent: no, you need to install it. [03:16] !dvd | skypent [03:16] skypent: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:16] and a Wni user [03:17] Dola, im sure there is a app for ubuntu that would do that [03:17] !medibuntu [03:17] skypent: you can get libdvdcs2 from medibuntu repositories [03:17] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:17] VLC might come with libdvdcss. I'm not sure though. [03:17] Yes, I dled the libdvdcs2. Just wondering if my vlc can use it after or if I have to select the path to it. [03:17] fishscene: not to my knowledge... regardless, it only takes 5sec to install... no real reason not to install it [03:17] skypent: no, vlc should see it no problem.... as long as you installed it properly [03:17] KM0201: User preference :) I love VLC personally. :d [03:17] r00t4rd3d: ok the first thing that samba guide says is that your computer needs a static IP. So I tried to follow these instructions on setting a static IP: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2305 [03:18] but i'm using wlan0 not eth0, because I'm using a wireless connection.. [03:18] fishscene: same here... just saying, he'll still need it even w/ VLC.. so he's gotta install it anyway [03:18] now i can't ping the gateway and i have no internet :| [03:18] alright. [03:18] * fishscene learns something new [03:19] * Dola learns something new. [03:19] can i turn off the feature which asks for my password whenever i change a system setting? [03:19] * KM0201 learned something new earlier... a wireless device as eth1? whoddathunkit [03:19] Thank you much people. I get to watch Paprika now :D! [03:19] i'm starting my own channel. #vistawallpapers! [03:19] lol [03:19] KM0201, i have eth2 but no eth0 or eth1 :) [03:19] alright gents...have a happy new years [03:20] blud, i wouldnt worry about setting the static ip [03:20] skypent: the machine to watch dreams¿ great movie :D [03:20] g2g. Hopefully empathy will include a way to NOT SHOW contacts who are offline. =\ [03:20] exit [03:20] dnivra: that's not "entirely unusual" i guess... but i've never saw a wireless device that wasn't wlan0 or wlan1 [03:20] * KM0201 hates empathy... [03:20] KM0201, yeah that is true. seen it three or four times here. [03:20] * dnivra has no empathy :) [03:20] xangua: Sweet. I'm going into it blind, so it might trip me out. [03:20] dnivra: never saw it till i was helping someone earlier [03:21] KM0201, same here :) [03:21] dnivra: lol, me either.. it was the first program i dumped after installing [03:21] blud setting static ip's in your router is alot easier [03:21] KM0201, it could have more than one meaning. yeah same here 'apt-get purge empathy&&apt-get install pidgin' :) [03:21] r00t4rd3d: i'v enever understood why people think the OS should assign a static IP... [03:22] so it doesnt change [03:22] r00t4rd3d: i understand that, but set it up through your router.. [03:22] yeah thats how i do it [03:22] r00t4rd3d: the other way, seems like saying "I need to stop and get gas, so i'll wait till I run out then walk to the gas station" [03:23] r00t4rd3d, i do have to worry about having a static ip, if it's not static then each time i want to use the shared folder i have to find out what the new IP of the computer is [03:23] blud: assign it through your router [03:23] true but get it working then we can work on the static ip [03:23] first i have to go undo what i just did [03:24] blud, do you have a router ? Hopefully a Linksys.... [03:25] more hope for a WRT version with ddwrt on it :D [03:25] * KM0201 has a Netgear router.. assigning IP's takes 5sec.. :) [03:26] good cause i only know linksys if he has something different [03:26] ok i fixed it so its back to normal, [03:26] yeah i have a linksys router [03:27] its connected to another linksys router that i use as a WAP [03:27] but the main router is the gateway [03:28] happy new year everyone [03:28] hello everybody [03:29] hi [03:29] hi Maucat [03:29] HI all can someone please help me, i cant seem to fin rpc.statd in /var/lib/nfs and due to this i belive i cant seem to map any nfs share [03:30] KM0201, I come from china [03:30] r00t4rd3d: so where do i do this, in the WAP router or the gateway router? [03:30] :p [03:31] blud: i'm not sure exactly where in a linksys router.. i'm sure it's quite easy.. [03:31] in the services tab on the main router [03:31] what do you have like a wireless bridge setup ? [03:32] yeah basically i guess. The main router does dhcp and the wap doesnt [03:32] HI all can someone please help me, i cant seem to fin rpc.statd in /var/lib/nfs and due to this i belive i cant seem to map any nfs share [03:33] In the main router settings under the serives tab , you enter the mac address of the device you want static ip. Enter the mac , the ip you want like 192.168.1.175 and enable. Reboot the computer.

[03:35] horseatingweeds: by default, scp should work if ssh does [03:36] IdleOne: I thought you don't know to smile ;) [03:36] Ive got a server that i need to do a full backup on over a limited internet connection, the server as a ton of identical files, what would be the best thing to make the backup with, im thinking Rsync [03:36] ubottu, so how do i get it to start i am constantly getting this messages mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. [03:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:36] mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.

[03:36] its the RT31P2 btw [03:37] IdleOne, can u help me out [03:37] lano: sorry I don't know more but try installing nfs-common see if that helps [03:37] Is there any way to disable the root shell prompt in recovery mode? [03:38] Or at least make it require a password? [03:38] i have installed that [03:38] and it seems like its installed but it keeps complaining about statd [03:38] anon__: i've commented it out of grub before, but then every time i'd boot, it would do a system check for some reason.. [03:38] and it does not seem to be running/ i cant find it === MengXingHun is now known as OOoo [03:39] lano: in terminal try find / | grep rpc.statd === OOoo is now known as OOoooo [03:40] blud , ive never used that model before but it should be pretty easy. Just look for a Services tab or Static Leases. [03:40] pksadiq, i found it its located in sbin [03:40] Static Routing? [03:40] lano: in terminal type rpc.statd [03:41] lano: and proceed to you older steps [03:41] rrw, Thanks. I was doing it wrong. ;-) [03:41] how to change dns from CLI? [03:41] horseatingweeds: no problem [03:41] pksadiq, eveytime i try mounting a nfs mount point to my qnap server i get this message [03:42] mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.X.X.X:/Work === Phonic[UK] is now known as PhonicUK[Sleep] [03:42] lano: still the same error? [03:42] yes [03:42] how to change DNS from CLI [03:42] i even tried [03:42] rpc.statd -Fd and i can see its waiting for connection [03:42] Hey, how do I run .run files? [03:42] Cody [03:42] yes? [03:43] SC-M: if you're not using network-manager, edit /etc/resolv.conf. [03:43] Sh name.run [03:43] kk [03:43] got it [03:43] in terminal, right? [03:43] If that doesn't work try ./name.run, yes [03:43] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 10.10 64 bit, instaled my nvidia card. how do i get audio to work over hdmi? [03:43] how would you do that anywhere but terminal? [03:43] Make sure your in the right directory [03:43] lano: try rpc.statd -n ipaddress [03:44] ip address to my qnap san storage [03:44] rww Do you know what I have to install to /msg or /chat with irssi? [03:44] lano: something like 198..... [03:44] Km0201 yeah, I hate thaat question [03:44] n1ea: i don't think you have to install anything.. but could be wrong [03:44] lano: sorry 192.... [03:44] pksadiq, nothing happens [03:45] rww do you see my msg ? [03:45] wow man, the web server on my router appears to have crashed lol [03:45] is there a program I'm supposed to have installed for .run files? it keeps opening in Gedit. [03:45] bluezonemobile: i usually tell them to do it in gedit [03:45] n1ea: I PMed you [03:45] and it's an installer. [03:45] cody no use ./ or sh [03:45] ..... [03:45] kk [03:45] cody_: ..lol [03:46] In the right direectory [03:46] Happy new year [03:46] U2 [03:46] rww: Nothing seen - maybe I have to install screen or something [03:46] lano: might be you need to set the port too rpc.statd -n ippaddress -p port I don't know which port does it have to listen, sorry [03:46] idk r00t4rd3d, neither of my linksys routers have a services tab or anything abotu static leases :| (my other one is a 400wrt or something [03:46] nlea, you need to connect to server first like irc.freenode.net [03:46] Sorry I can't type very fast I'm on my phone [03:46] Zvrk: well, he's here.. so one can safely assume that he's likely connected to a server.. [03:47] bluezonemobile: which client? [03:47] n1ea: have you used irssi much? there should be a new activity window opened for DCC with =rww in it. Ctrl-n will switch to the next window; check and make sure it's not hidding somewhere. [03:47] any nvidia experts??? [03:47] nope, the two commands open it in Gedit, you should know that this is a Ubuntu derivitive called Ultimate Edition. [03:47] as in I should have told you. [03:47] ugh thanks hitting a wall here [03:47] cody_: then you probably need to seek help from the ultimate edition channel... [03:47] kk [03:47] not sure what channel that is, though. [03:48] !ultimate | cody_ [03:48] cody_: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [03:48] !nvidia | brent [03:48] brent: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:48] cody_: hmm. looks like you might be SOL, ultimate doesn't have an IRC channel.. might have to see if they hae a forum [03:48] hmmm, makes sense, then [03:48] well, guess i'll resort to the forums. [03:49] do they have forums? [03:49] whats the appeal of ultimate edition anyway? [03:49] at least the didn't leave us out of options. [03:49] i have my card installed, just no audio [03:49] yes, they have forums [03:49] pksadiq, i am getting this errors in messages file nfsd: last server has exited, flushing export cache , svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97) [03:49] Your still having problems with .run? [03:49] the appeal is it serves my needs better. [03:49] i'll go and ask there. [03:49] cody_: obviously, you can't even install an sh file [03:49] wow [03:50] blud im not sure cause I have never used that model before. [03:50] cody_: there is also Lubuntu [03:50] Personal Request: I'm in a contest for my house remodel and need more votes, all you have to do is click +Vote, 1 vote per IP, your help is greatly appreciated: http://www.rtacabinetstore.com/contest/2010/12/01/new-house-new-kitchen-in-progress/ [03:50] Well either I failed or he did I don't know anymore, [03:50] wyclif: somethng tells me if he's using ultimate, he doesn't want to use lubuntu [03:51] KM0201: Haha! True. I only saw the ubottu info [03:51] Why doesn't everyone just simply use desktop or server or netbook lol === joey is now known as Guest39298 [03:51] bluezonemobile: cuz that would be way to friggin simple [03:52] Hah [03:52] We need 10,000 derivatives to make life as confusing as possible. [03:52] lano: I just said in general, don't know much deeper, might be nfsstat help you, sorry [03:52] bluezonemobile: well I find a lot of users on Lucid because it's desktop and server edition [03:52] bluezonemobile: there's always someone out there, who's figured they can make ubuntu better, when in truth.. all they usually do is add a feww splashy wallpapers an dinstall a few extra packages === root is now known as Guest7328 [03:53] rww: add some more zeros, it values zero [03:53] Guest7328: running IRC as root probably isn't the smartest thing in the world.. [03:53] I tried learning everything about ubuntu and c in a week, I got far but I think it would require a lifetime [03:53] KM0201: Not trying to advocate here, but at least Lubuntu, by means of LXDE, tries to make it small and fast, cutting down the footprint. Better for old hardware. [03:53] bluezonemobile: what is the command puts(""); for? [03:54] KM0201: but I know what you mean. [03:54] Pksadiq its to print a character [03:54] Entirely useless [03:54] bluezonemobile: yeah.. i laugh at the people who install 7am, 10am, they want to learn how to write software from soruce and program, by 12 theyv'e encountered some insurmountable problem, and by 3:00, they've reinstalled windows [03:54] Use printf [03:54] wyclif: oh i totally agree.. if you actually make an improvement(like lubuntu did)... i have no issue w/ that [03:54] bluezonemobile: not only character, but strings too [03:55] Yeah, but just use printf lol [03:55] wyclif: but when soeone takes ubuntu, keeps gnome on it, removes a few packages, adds a few packages, and tossed a few fancy wallpapers on it, then spins it as "ultimate edition"... it makes you wonder [03:55] bluezonemobile: how did you learn c? I would to like to learn, but didn't find good easier resources === PhonicUK is now known as PhonicUK[Sleep] [03:56] hey all, I can't seem to use any power govenors except Performance and Powersave [03:56] Pksadiq I used "c" for dummies 2004 but I only learnt the basics with that took me about 3 days [03:56] KM0201: I remember the early days of desktop Linux where you'd get a CD from somewhere (magazine?) and be disappointed to find it was just one of the major distros with a layer of crap UI and different wallpaper and eye candy goo [03:56] anyone know which package provides the power govenors so I can reinstall them? [03:56] fixed it [03:56] wyclif: yup [03:57] wyclif: and even better, all that eyecandy would be on a distro that was over a year old [03:57] bluezonemobile: but such books teaches as bad habits of programming, I need gcc based tutorials in Gnu Free documentation Licence [03:58] well im going to ask linksys chat support... [03:58] but they dont support the RT31P anymore so i doubt they will even tell me [03:58] lano: how? [03:58] Pksadiq eh its not too bad and it shows u how to use gcc [03:58] can someone tell me how to mount a drive to be on my desktop, if i create a folder calle work on my dekstop and i mount the drive another drive appears on to my desktop [03:58] Hi, how can I allow an exceptio nto my ubuntu firewall so my lan machine can ssh in? [03:58] Dobnt really need a tut for gcc [03:58] KM0201: To me it's all down to Debian/Ubuntu and RH/CentOS. I just don't see much point in perpetuating a ton of other projects at this point. [03:58] Just man gcc [03:59] pksadiq, it was my stupid mistake [03:59] wyclif: totally agree... although.. Fedora is my favorite RH distro [03:59] but it's basically redhat as well. [03:59] lano: try sudo mount /dev/ ~/Desktop/ [03:59] i created a new nfs mount point but i didnt give it right permissions on my nas [03:59] lano: what error? [03:59] lano: I mean mistake [03:59] wyclif: i think thats part of linux's problem, the OS itself is skitzophrenic and can't decide what packaging system it wants to use. [04:00] pksadiq, i have 8 bay qnap drive when u create nfs folders u actually need to specify the folder permisions and u if u would like to give nfs access to that folder [04:00] KM0201: plus you have to wonder how much that duplication of effort is hurting Linux adoption. Having one or two really solid options (Ubuntu w/ .deb, RH w/ .rpm) would be best [04:01] lano: do you mean u to be you? [04:01] KM0201: sorry, meant Fedora [04:01] wyclif: i figured you did. [04:02] pksadiq, when you say /dev/ ? is that ip address coz i am connection to my nas via IP [04:02] pksadiq, yes [04:02] !u [04:02] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [04:02] Ew I hate fedora lol [04:02] For some reason scrolling my mouse wheel doesn't do anything, but it does work for middle clicks. [04:02] wyclif: but if you only have 2 distros(ie, ubuntu and fedora).. then you run into... Ubuntu.. because it is so newb friendly, is very bloated.. it's one reason i prefer debian [04:03] hi all [04:03] i have a Conexant AccessRunner ADSL WAN USB Adapter and i want to switch from windows to ubuntu! i have installed along side windows and i don't know how can i get my ADSL adapter to work under ubuntu? any help please? [04:03] KM0201: you can have multiple distros that use a unified package management system [04:03] KM0201: I prefer Debian too, but wasn't sure if I was allowed to say that here [04:04] tamaros: i know that.. wyclif and i were having a different discussion. [04:04] Hello, I have a Logitech 3d extreme joystick. I am using the joystick utilities in the Ubuntu repository... jscal, however, does nothing... It runs, but it doesn't actually _do_ anything. [04:04] KM0201: Sorry, I'm just butting in because I was bored [04:04] I prefer Debian too, but I also prefer that we keep distro preferences to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [04:04] wyclif: i am grateful to ubuntu though, it got me off the Windows tit, but once i had the basics down, i switched.. but i still hang out here, cuz i know most newbs are gonna try ubuntu first.. and frankly, most the guys in #debian are jackasses [04:05] rww: Duly noted. [04:05] lano: I think then you need to use scp to copy files, I don't know much , check man scp [04:05] :) [04:05] Haha the tit [04:05] Hi, im tying to use fuse and have installed flickrfs and sshfs. when i grep lsmod for fuse, nothing is shown. I also have tried to manually load with sudo modprobe fuse. Using 10.10 with 2.6.32-27-generic 2.6.32-27-generic. Any brilliant insights?

[04:06] man it is a slow night, folks must be out drinking [04:06] So...I think I may have bricked my PC. I powered down during an ubuntu install on a fully encrypted HD [04:06] !mint [04:06] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:07] null1: yeah.. i'd say thats probably gonna fit the definition of "bricked" [04:07] I wrote a bash script to check a specific directory for files and display a zenity notification if it finds any. The directory is where I have automatically downloaded torrents stored, I'd like it to put an icon in the tray if there are files there so I know to start my torrent client. The script works when I test it, but does not work if I let cron run it, could someone maybe help me debug?( http://pastebin.com/PyyiyeqJ ) [04:07] KM0201: Do you have any idea how I might troubleshoot it, before I just throw my HD in the e-waste? :( [04:07] can an encrypted hard drive be formatted? [04:07] yes [04:07] then i think that would be the answer [04:08] null1: ide encryption? I am thinking whatever it is you can just format it. not like my phone that is bricked [04:08] vu1kan: cron scripts run in a "clean" environment, usually with few or no environmental variables set [04:08] do CD-R's work for making startup disks from .iso files?

[04:09] tamaros, how do I burn it correctly? :P [04:09] CarlFK: during the installation process of ubuntu 10.10, I clicked full disc partition with LVM encryption [04:09] */paths/path...it only calls the one directory [04:09] null1: no prob - reboot the cd and start over [04:09] I was asking because startup disk creator doesn't recognize the one I have in [04:09] SPooN: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm [04:09] SpooN: that depends on the program you use to burn. Some figure it out on their own some you have to tick an option [04:09] thank you KM0201 [04:09] CarlFK: I did that, and it wouldn't let me install GRUB [04:09] SPooN: that first utility there..

[04:10] ok [04:10] thanks to all ;) [04:11] SPooN: after you install gnomebaker.. i believe you open gnomebaker then go to tools/burn CD ISO(or DVD, whichever media you're using)... navigate to the ISO, and thats that [04:12] full explanation: I started an installation of Ubuntu on my entire HD, realized that I had clicked the wrong encryption method ( I wanted 256bit serpent but I just used the default) and after I realized I had chosen the wrong one, I powered off the comp after the base installation completed and then I tried to start over with my pen drive installer. When I tried again, I errored out with installing GRUB on the master boot record [04:12] null1: I am guessing your disk is confusing the installer. the encryption is just different bytes, not .. um... you can just overwrite them with new bytes. assuming the tool doesn't get concerned with the old bytes [04:13] null1: i have had problems using disks from raid arrays as stand alone disks. I think just running fdisk to create a blank partition table was all I needed to do. [04:14] x won't start. How do I tell ubuntu to use "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" driver via the cli? [04:14] So should I just execute a shell command from the installer on my pen drive to use fdisk and make a blank partition table?

[04:24] Those who are wiser than me: I am going through the installer again, and I am wondering if the installer is capable of overwriting my encrypted HD without asking me for a password? I am in the "partitions formatting" stage and I am about to re-partition my HD into just 1 hard drive, and it isn't prompting me for the password I had used to encrypt it, etc...Does that mean it hasn't actually tried to access the hard drive yet, or [04:24] into just 1 partition***="into just 1 hard drive" === L is now known as Guest56687 [04:25] null1: you don't need the password to re-partition an encrypted volume, assuming you're not interested in the data in it [04:26] happy new year [04:26] industry__: Thank you :) :) That makes me think i didn't brick my system. [04:26] null1: partitioning doesn't care if the drive is encrypted or not... it will just create a clean partition... Encrypted files mean they cannot be accessed without a key, but can be deleted by formatting [04:27] when i installed Ubuntu I didn't choose the option to encrypt home partition, how can i enable this after the installation? === FrozenFingers is now known as FrozenFire [04:27] yep another error trying to get Mint 10 to bootup.

[04:28] lol. [04:29] they said Yeah your router can do that but we only support that feature over the phone [04:29] my pc isn't powerful enough :P [04:29] and i look all over my router and i cant see that feature [04:29] Why is everyone talking about encrypting things right now?

[04:33] I have a movie that is in .avi format that i would like to burn to a dvd disk but when i put the file onto the disc it is just the file and can be played by computers but not by a DVD playing device. How do i get the .avi to burn to the sick so that i can watch it on a DVD player? [04:33] Ubuntu 10.10 [04:34] pssalman: well, read the thread, you're gonna have to do a lot of it to get that device going [04:34] KM0201: thank you [04:34] Nexxus: try look at k3b [04:35] Nexxus: You need devede. [04:36] KM0201: i did more research and found out that the only thing they linksys tech guy told me wasnt even true [04:36] p_res what does that do [04:36] For it to be able to be read on a commercial dvd player, it has to be re-encoded. [04:36] Devede package allows you to add the file to the dvd and it will recode and burn it for you. [04:37] blud: lol..

[04:55] fzlamn: synaptic and update-manager are installed by default. aptitude isn't in 10.10 onwards. Which you use is a matter of preference. [04:56] (isn't installed by default, that is) [04:56] rww: it is good for me to install aptitude? [04:56] fzlamn: if you want to [04:57] rww: what is the advantages? [04:57] Hey...

[04:58] fzlamn: compared to apt-get (which is the other popular command-line package manager), it's nice because of various dependency resolution differences and its ncurses frontend. [04:59] rww: how about update via terminal, it is good? [05:00] fzlamn: sure. Try them, pick the one you like. [05:00] thanks sacarlson, that was super easy. Before I was trying to follow some complicated guide with manually editing text files and it didn't even work.... [05:03] rww: i allways update via terminal and there is some error : Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main Sources 404 Not Found. why?

[05:06] Guest56687, Happy New year to you too [05:06] fzlamn: find the line for it in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* and delete it [05:06] There's a GUI way through Software Sources too, but I don't know it. [05:06] rww: in the terminal? [05:07] sure [05:07] rww: remove via terminal also? [05:08] fzlamn, the gui way rww told you about is in the system menu>administration>software sources.. then the 'other software' tab [05:10] rs0832: software source? there is no software source here... [05:11] fzlamn, in the system menu under administration? [05:11] !oneko [05:11] oneko is the cat of cats, the loler with minnions, the sudo apt-get installable one, the cat of our times, but not the cat of the command line!

[05:12] fzlamn, no on the gnome panel, the menus... in the system menu [05:13] fzlamn, do you have synaptic package manager? [05:13] rs0832: yes [05:14] fzlamn, open it, then in the 'settings' menu, select 'repositories' [05:15] rs0832: done [05:15] fzlamn, ok.. click the second tab (other software) and uncheck the ppa if it is there [05:16] * bonjoyee Wishes a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!! [05:16] hello all [05:16] rs0832: uncheck and remove?

[05:19] avis: likewise [05:20] fzlamn, if you want to use the ppa in the future, unchecking it is better... when you want to use it you just have to recheck it rather than readd the ppa [05:20] i hav dwnloaded kubuntu how can i install in my ubuntu gnome???

[05:23] sync3times: same wire, separated by Vyatta server [05:23] oDesk, the vyatta server is multi-homed? [05:24] what is the off topic channel? [05:24] me__w, you can't install it into Ubuntu. What is it your trying to do [05:24] sync3times: yes if i'm on vyatta i can access both subnets [05:24] agentgasmask: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:24] i think that what he wants is the kde ui [05:24] Flannel: Thanks [05:24] oneliner, I think the desktop right [05:24] oDesk, is the server your default route for either side? [05:25] k bt i want kubuntu in my lapi how to install in in dat [05:25] nit-wit: dn tell me how to install kubuntu in my lapi [05:25] sync3times: no [05:25] me__w, you want the Kubuntu desktop or a seperate install of Kubuntu then Ubuntu [05:26] oDesk, so you need to setup a network route. something like: route add -net 192.168.X.X/24 gw vyatta [05:27] oDesk, Both sides need routes setup . they packets need to know how to get there and how to get back. Or you can setup the routes on your default routers [05:27] sync3times: ok, i'll try that [05:27] oDesk, how many machines need to talk accross the router? [05:27] sync3times: mine only [05:28] oDesk, bear in mind also, there is the concept of forwarding. If the vyatta is not setup to forward packets accross the interfaces, then it will be a wall [05:28] sync3times: Vyatta can talk to other subnets nicely [05:28] for usb-connected external hard drives, is the "sync" option when mounting slower than async? [05:28] i messed up my /etc/samba/smb.conf file and didn't back it up to begin with.. [05:28] me__w, if you just want the desktop look in synaptic for kubuntu-desktop I afraid to give you a terminal command here we are not communicating. [05:28] how to open .lit book? [05:28] oDesk, you said mine. you did not say how many boxes on the other side need to talk back?

[05:29] happy new years Mr. Shuttleworth [05:30] sync3times: i feel your first suggestion for adding route might work [05:30] avis: i guess it depends on your idea of a "cool" desktop... I'm just happy that I don't hav to be afraid of every little link or website i go to. [05:30] sync3times: i'll give it a try [05:30] oDesk, luck [05:30] Would the computer stop booting past GRUB? [05:30] gluxon, yes [05:30] Happpieee new YEar!!!~! [05:31] gluxon, is this happening to you [05:31] gluxon, you'd get a grub error 21 or something if i remember right [05:31] Oh. [05:31] That's what I thought. [05:31] I deleted the Ubuntu partition, forgetting that GRUB was on it. [05:31] Now I'm scared to reboot.

So i'm trying to finish that other older guide [06:01] rs0832, yeah i know :). just that if rww can do it, i needn't forward it and wait for review :) [06:01] dnivra: I do, yes. I'd need to run any suggestions past an op that speaks Chinese, though, and the one that I know does isn't around. [06:01] anyone ever made music on ubuntu? [06:01] dnivra, ah :) [06:02] rww, awww. bummer. guess i'll suggest the change. [06:02] dnivra: It needs updating anyway to add that you use /join to join the channel. I've been waiting for him to be online to get that sorted too. [06:02] bluezone, you can play cnc3 with PlayOnLinux [06:02] How would I go about making a file sharing server in my network on a ubuntu server [06:02] That windows/mac/linux users can all access with ease? [06:02] oneliner: you mean created music? like with rosegarden? http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ [06:03] Scottzor, you could try samba. win/linux machines with samba installed will work. dunno about mac. another choice is ssh i guess. [06:03] How does samba work? [06:03] rww, alright then-i'll let you sort it out :). [06:04] can someone help me install my eternal lands game update? I have ubuntu 9.10 [06:04] sacarlson: that looks promising, thanks [06:04] !samba | Scottzor [06:04] Scottzor: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [06:05] How does samba allow people to connect? [06:05] Do they have there own user account etc? [06:05] Hello, everyone. I have a MacBook Pro 13", and I want to dual boot it with Ubuntu 10.10, currently I have OS X installed. Any advice? [06:05] How can I add SSH and networking to runlevel 1? [06:06] Averna, i guess you need to become root to do it. run whatever command that needs you to become root as root by prefixing a 'sudo' in front of it. [06:06] Scottzor, Depends-you can make it no password required to read too i think. [06:06] I don't use terminal much - have done it but can't remember exact code [06:06] On my server can I just 'sudo apt-get install samba'? [06:07] Any advice on dual boots for Macs? Or should I check out the Mac OS X room? [06:07] Scottzor, yeah. that should do it. [06:08] then you have to set it up [06:08] which isnt a walk in the park for newbs [06:09] Tussock, hope this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro. [06:09] would zebedee be a better solution to setup a client to host reverse tunnel for remote desktop than an ssh tunnel? as far as security on the host [06:09] dnivra, thanks. [06:09] someone once gave me a list of unix coomands but it was lost in my hardrive crash [06:09] Tussock, no problem :) [06:10] can anyone point me to a concise list of commands? [06:10] man? [06:10] idk [06:11] If I install ubuntu server am I able to install it down to just a console? no GUI at all? [06:11] usaguy987: Yes. It doesn't install a GUI by default, in fact. [06:13] dnivra, just a question: I'm on the webpage https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation, and if you go down to the section under DUAL BOOT: MAC OSX AND UBUNTU, PARTITION, do I just partition straight or do I have to install "refit"? [06:13] *do I have to install "refit" first? [06:14] Tussock, I've not used a mac so i cannot help you out there :). maybe somebody else can. [06:14] dnivra: :P Thanks anyway, I'll check out the Mac room :) [06:14] Tussock, sure. sorry i can't help out much. no problem! [06:16] hi [06:16] Hello, tzyys, happy new year. [06:16] problems with video playback AND audio stuttering? search logs for "hpet", if any entries, add "hpet=disable" into boot parameters, it's a kernel bug. EOC. [06:17] that is awesome news!! the other question I have is if I install the server ubuntu will it have the full unix command set? I mean like nano, pine, etc... and not use this thing called a "busy box"? [06:17] happy new year too u all [06:17] usaguy987: It doesn't use busybox, but some utilities have to be installed with aptitude [06:18] usaguy987: It depends if you do a default server or truly minimal (JeOS) install [06:18] woot, i actually got my shared network folder stuff working [06:18] usaguy987: It uses bash, not busybox by default. nano is default; for pine you'd want to install the 'alpine' package [06:18] usaguy987: I think the default server install includes nano and stuff [06:18] i had install ubuntu to dell netbook it work well [06:18] how is busybox not full unix command set? [06:19] alright- but they can all be installed? I ask this because I am reading "teach yourself unix in a week" by dave taylor, and I need a good distro with all the commands he talks about. I have Puppy linux now, and most of the commands he uses in the book do not work on it.... [06:19] usaguy987: mandriva for newbies [06:19] ive heard its good for atleast newbies [06:20] just install the tools [06:20] i've had the back luck(or good?) of starting with gentoo [06:20] made life hell [06:20] but taught moar [06:20] usaguy987: yes, they should all be there or be installable [06:20] usaguy987, you can find out what tools he uses and install them. i think only the installation part would vary. tool would work the same. [06:20] usaguy987: doesn't the book recommend what destro to use? if you choose to follow that book best to use his input [06:21] well I'm a newbie, but not in the true sense of the word... I want to learn unix from the ground up- that is, from the command line. I could care less about the GUI at this point. I want to learn the basics... operate it fully from an ssh client... That is my goal for now, I can learn a gui anytime.... [06:21] im way too happy today [06:21] install Gentoo [06:21] be a pro in seconds [06:21] ^ only if you've a second box with google [06:21] well this book was written 7 years ago! lol.... he recommends telnetting into a unix box... lol [06:21] telnet _is good_ [06:21] no, it's not [06:22] potat0, definitely not good! [06:22] well, for some reasons it is good [06:22] usaguy987: try debian netinstall. it offers the basic operating system without any additional tools or server services and you only need apt or aptitude to add additional stuff :) [06:22] telnet will save your butt one day [06:22] If you're looking to get your password stolen, it's a good choice. [06:22] if that book is still using telnet then it's really old [06:22] it sounds cool, kinda like Telstar, the satellite the guys made a pop song out of [06:23] for diagnostics (and non paranoid mode) telnet is great [06:23] lol I know haha [06:23] not throwing your password out there in plain text isn't paranoia, it's common sense [06:24] netcat is a far more useful tool than telnet [06:24] usaguy987, any distro with a CLI. since he says telnet, you choose any distro. read his command, run it, get an error find out what's wrong and try fixing it. google will help a lot here. the tools as rww should be there and installable. you'll have slight hiccups only mostly but you'll get along fine. [06:24] srsly, install Gentoo or Arch if you want to learn CLI the good way [06:24] and between that and openssh-server being horribly easier than any telnetd to set up on Debian/Ubuntu, there's no reason to use telnetd :\ [06:24] OK cool thanks guys! I'm excited to learn this!! :) [06:25] true about the plaintext thing [06:25] oh well [06:26] I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on My Laptop with full Hard Drive Space, and now I wanna also install Windows 7 with it, so how can I make a partition for installing Windows 7???? [06:26] rww, and openssh-server being much more secure than telnetd :). [06:26] akshit_: fdisk? [06:26] gui: gparted [06:26] akshit_: gparted, maye need to be installed [06:27] windows 7 may attempt to takeover the bootloader so you may need to fix that [06:27] akshit_: and you should have a ubuntu cd at your hands afterwards as you might need to fix your mbr [06:27] talking of windoze [06:27] potat0 and deww: Can you tell me in steps [06:27] deww, not attempt to, it will :). [06:27] i forgot i needed to download win7 64bit [06:27] and also, you should back up your data before you try to install windows, as it has a good reputation for wrecking data [06:28] Gimbli, but I installed it via a Pen Drive [06:28] !fixgrub | akshit_ [06:28] akshit_: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [06:28] www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html [06:28] akshit_, you'll need the grub thing later. [06:29] akshit : first windows and then linux or if u have enough Ram and disk space use vmware and install windows [06:30] dnivra, OK [06:30] how much space is needed for windows 7? [06:30] i was thinking of gaming (haven't in a long while) [06:30] 20 gb? [06:30] ugmg, i'd prefer virtualbox over vmware :) [06:30] potat0: no idea. ask ##windows :\ [06:31] I can't seem to find the zebedee package in synaptic in my ubuntu 10.04, can someone look and see if this is just a mirror problem on my side by looking in your synaptic? [06:31] !info zebedee lucid [06:31] Package zebedee does not exist in lucid [06:32] Excuse me Dear Ubuntu Users, anyone here any good with Kernels/ [06:32] ?? [06:32] rww: seems dead, but asked there [06:32] Chris-Linux: ask [06:32] Basically i installed Ubuntu Ultimate which is running Mavrick. [06:33] And when i go to Compile ALSA it says that a ncursers library is missing [06:33] Chris-Linux: Ubuntu Ultimate isn't supported here. [06:33] Noo, this is about Mavrick [06:33] Chris-Linux: install ncurses [06:33] potat0, the setup is 3.5 GB and you can make hard disk 20GB Minimum, for best use. [06:33] Chris-Linux: No, you're running an unofficial derivative, so you can't use #ubuntu for support. [06:33] its not there by default in ubuntu [06:33] Exactly, what command would i use to install it? [06:34] thats all im asking [06:34] because i have the same problem on my 10.10 install [06:34] apt-get install ncurses [06:34] uh huh. [06:34] wait [06:34] it says there is no such package :( [06:34] apt-get install ncurses-* OR search and install [06:34] try aptitude search ncurses to find the right library [06:34] libncurses5 is what you're looking for [06:34] Is there a handy software package for monitoring board temps, fans, and so on? [06:34] probably [06:34] !lm-sensors | horseatingweeds [06:34] horseatingweeds: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [06:35] you mean lm-sensors? [06:35] akshit_: thanks [06:35] not a problem. Thanks peoples =D [06:35] beat me to it, rww [06:35] rww: well that explains it , I guess it's no longer supported? seems it stoped at karmic [06:35] rww: thank you [06:35] in the gui I can tell ubuntu to use "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)", how can this be accomplished in cli [06:36] sacarlson: correct. it was removed from lucid per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/495216 [06:36] foolhardy, try lshw. [06:37] dnivra, sudo lshw? [06:37] foolhardy, yeah it does need sudo. [06:37] KM0201: sorry for bothering... i have downloaded and installed gnome ppp (all downloads using windows) but the software doesn't detect my modem [06:38] i haven't been able to burn a cd in linux for a year. anyone else been having these problems ? [06:38] dnivra, "sudo: lshw: command not found" [06:38] foolhardy, it works fine here for me. [06:38] I'm using a stripped down ubuntu from xbmclive [06:38] ---xbmclive with geforce fx5500, so I have to tell it to use legacy drivers [06:39] it has been very irritating. [06:39] today i am getting this: wodim: CD/DVD-Recorder not ready. [06:39] different drives, different computers, different distros; all the same problem. can't burn a cd. [06:40] foolhardy, no idea. maybe somebody else can help. i'm not sure if lshw is the correct command either; just a thought. [06:40] km0201 do you know what kind of modem you have ? [06:40] foolhardy: You'd have to ask the XBMC people about it. xbmclive makes packaging changes that we don't support, and isn't an official or supported derivative of Ubuntu. [06:41] foolhardy: additionally, I don' [06:41] gonzoism, you can't burn a cd that boots or one at all [06:41] t think we even support Ubuntu MID (which is what it's based on) any more :\ [06:41] I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on My Laptop with full Hard Drive Space, and now I wanna also install Windows 7 with it, so how can I make a partition for installing Windows 7???? Can someone tell me how to do this, in steps. [06:41] nit-wit one at all. [06:42] akshit:do u hav gparted? [06:42] pavanai, yes [06:42] !grub2 [06:42] akshit_: always better install windows first and then anything else; you will need to restore grub [06:42] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:42] gonzoism, that s strange I have had very little problems, I know it doesn't help to say that sorry. [06:42] akshit:try a resize [06:42] pavanai, how [06:42] xangua, that is incorrect [06:42] i need help with my usb adsl modem and ubuntu 10.10 [06:43] akshit:open gparted [06:43] pavanai, ok [06:43] nit-wit: that is ok. i'm thinking it is some kind of kernel problem being it is across distros, i was looking for the answer you gave. are you 32 bit or 64 ? [06:43] akshit:select the partition [06:43] pavanai, selected [06:43] akshit:right click and click on resixe [06:43] xangua, restore grub yes but W7 can be installed second [06:43] akshit:right click and click on resize [06:43] gonzoism, 32bit [06:44] pavanai, Resize option is unclickable [06:44] pavanai, turn off the swao [06:44] so would strongswan be a better tunnel method for a client to setup reverse tunnel to enable a host to remote desktop in, then an ssh tunnel method? [06:44] nit-wit: i said always better, not Allways by force [06:44] ...... [06:44] swap? [06:44] nit-wit oddly enough, 8.04.4 can with different burners. thanks [06:44] hey [06:44] rww, looks like I have lm-sensors installed. Are there commands or a UI? lm-sensor.org is confusing me. [06:44] akshit:swao? [06:45] pavanai, what swao? [06:45] nit-wit: m back,pls tell me how to install kubuntu on my lapi? [06:45] akshit:turn off swao? [06:45] horseatingweeds: take a look at the guide ubottu linked you to ;) [06:45] pavanai, hold on a second [06:45] horseeatingweeds: you have the sensors command. man sensors and see what it says at the bottom on "see also:" [06:45] pavanai, how? [06:45] rww, I am. lm-sensors.org. [06:46] horseatingweeds: the link was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto :\ [06:46] akshit_, are you on a live Ubuntu cd [06:46] i hav kubuntu.iso setup and dont know how to install it???????/pls elp me [06:46] nit-wit, no I have installed it [06:47] nit-wit, on My Laptop [06:47] me__w, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in the terminal [06:47] nit-wit, with full hard drive space [06:48] akshit:wt u mean by swao?isit swao or swap? [06:48] nit-wit: no man i hav downloaded kubuntu dekstop from download them all in mozilla now how to install it in laptop [06:48] pavanai, when did I say swao, nit-wit said it [06:48] akshit_, so you want to shrink the HD to fit W7 in you need to resize that Partition from a live Ubuntu cd using gparted, and right click the swap to turn it off [06:48] pavanai, its swap [06:48] anyone would help with my usb adsl modem [06:49] me__w: no idea what you want to do, just make a partiton to it and install it like you installed ubuntu [06:49] co ai o vietnamese ko [06:49] rww, indeed. That page is more helpful. [06:49] nit-wit, thats it? [06:49] akshit:did u get that resize option? [06:49] xangua: how to make partition dn [06:50] me__w: with gparted [06:50] from the live cd [06:50] pavanai, let me go to Live USB, and then I'll chat wid u [06:50] akshit_, shrink the Ubuntu and make a ntfs partition for WE7 put a boot flag on it then install to that pre made partition. [06:50] ok [06:50] nit-wit: after partition how to run dat setup [06:50] pssalman, have you checked this out https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/modems-adsl-usb.html [06:50] always better to make a copy of your files before modifying a partiton me__w [06:51] nit-wit, how to make boot flag?? Is there an option for that? [06:51] xangua: ok thanks [06:51] akshit,ok [06:51] co ai o VietNam ko na [06:51] akshit_, you would right click on the ntfs and then flag then click boot [06:52] nit-wit, ok thanks [06:52] :) [06:52] akshit_, you build this partition to keep W7 from making Ubuntu unallocated. Do you know how many partitions are on the computer now? [06:53] hi, I've been tinkering with xorg.conf and I have it seemingly working great - "sudo startx" gives me a nice working desktop, login screen looks fine... but when I log in the screen flashes and it logs me out again. [06:54] pavanai, sorry I didn't mean to interupt you I was just making sure we were on the same page.:) [06:55] hi [06:55] hello [06:56] Happy new year. [06:56] is there a config file or something that runs when I log in, that I need to tweak or get rid of to make GDM login work again? [06:56] hey all. i know this isn't exactly an ubuntu related question, but i have this super irritating bluetooth mouse that i can't figure out how to make it discoverable. It's branded "tecom" and I can't find any websites by them that would reveal the solution to this mystery.... any ideas? And yes, i've already tried holding down buttons in various combinations for more than 5 seconds at a time..... [06:57] That being said...Why does nautilus crash when I try to view the properties on a .it (Impulse Tracker Module) file? [06:57] how to zoom out from zoom in? somehow my cat managed to enable zoom in feature in my ubuntu by lying on my laptop [06:57] rooks: Control+scroll [06:57] Super(windows)+scroll ; sorry [06:57] xangua, actually those are both different types of zoom. [06:58] I am having an odd issue with SSH tunneling. I have a VPS of Ubuntu 10.04. I get this error - Client connection closed before completion of protocol. It seems to stall the page loading. Its a fresh install. I can also use the same setup with 2 other SSH servers without issue. [06:58] xangua, ah, thanks , its windowskey+scroll btw [06:59] is it possible to get some help regarding ubuntu?

[06:59] subject: Major flaw in kernel [07:01] i have fubared my ruby installation with Ubuntu 10.04.1. i got it from the repositories, then built my own using a tar file, and now would like to purge my both installations of it completely. how would i go about doing that? [07:03] tipu: just read the instructions to uninstall, normally just delete the program directory [07:03] tipu, does the build directory you dl'd have an option for make uninstall or some such? [07:03] hi, can anyone help me fix overscan with the radeonhd driver? i'm trying to do it with xrandr [07:03] i'm using this command: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --scale 0.9x0.9 --pos 500x500 [07:04] the scale should be right or close to it, but the picture is still anchored in the top left, off screen [07:04] and --pos doesn't seem to fix that [07:04] tipu, if not you can probably remove it by manually deleting the ruby files under /usr/local look at the time stamps if in doubt [07:04] happy new year everyone [07:04] bucky: i am not sure, if it did i wouldn't be able to determine it, i'm relatively now to linux/ubuntu [07:04] gozznail, happy new year [07:05] happy near year everyone [07:06] :) [07:06] does whereis help me in this situation at all? how do i determine whether it's been completely removed? [07:06] tipu, ls /usr/local/bin is there a ruby binary in there?

[07:08] also, where can i go to determine the $PATH of a fresh ubuntu installation? [07:08] tipu, did you actually make install when it got done compiling? [07:09] happy new year everyone. [07:09] tipu, type env [07:10] bucky: i believe so. i am not 100% certain to be honest, as i was mostly following some site's guide [07:10] bucky: ok [07:10] tipu, which site? [07:11] anyone? when I try to log in it just flashes and takes me back to the login screen. nothing in GDM logs to explain why. [07:11] bucky: unfortunately i am unable to determine at this point. i've visited well over 30+ sites trying to solve this particular problem and so i have forgotten. [07:11] is there maybe a local xorg config file conflicting with xorg.conf? [07:12] bucky: what was the purpose of env? [07:12] tipu, go into synaptic and search for ruby and mark all for complete uninstallation and see if that cleans it out [07:12] tipu, it tells you your PATH [07:13] bucky: i am able to determine path by echo $PATH, but i was worried if i have added too much stuff to it and wanted to return it to it's original state. [07:13] hello [07:13] any body here [07:13] tipu, go into synaptic and search for ruby and mark all for complete uninstallation and see if that cleans it out [07:13] is there a tool to defragment ntfs drives in ubuntu? I don't have windows anymore and fear that my ntfs partitions would get fragmented if I don't defragment. [07:13] bucky: i am doing that as we speak. i was originally connected via SSH, so this will take a bit to go into the GUI portion of it. i appreciate all the help thus far. [07:13] toloykhan, there are about 1300 users here; not all are active though. [07:15] dnivra, I hope that you are active [07:15] toloykhan, if you've a question about ubuntu, do ask. if somebody does know, they'll help out. [07:16] dnivra, not sure if its a good idea or not, but can you copy all your files out, delete them, then copy them back. They would be optimal at that point [07:16] happy new year... [07:16] ok, the question is how to add yahoo chat room to my xchat [07:16] sync3times, wrong person perhaps? [07:16] dnivra, maybe as part of a backup? [07:16] toloykhan, I do not believe xchat can do that [07:16] dnivra, you asked about defrag? [07:16] toloykhan, use empathy or pidgin for that. [07:16] toloykhan, the im client probably can [07:17] so, even with empathy I can't do that [07:17] sync3times, oh yeah. okay. well i wish i could do that but i simply do not enough space on my hard disk to copy files and copy back. it is a good solution though. [07:18] toloykhan, it probably can [07:18] im clint? [07:18] toloykhan, empathy i'm not sure. pidgin sure can. [07:18] bucky: there was a number of ruby stuff there (gems as well), i marked everything for removal and applied it. it's removing as we speak. [07:18] rww, sensor-detect only found one driver, and that doesn't seem to give anything when you run sensors command. [07:18] tipu, if you're using the command line maybe apt-get purge ruby1.8 would be less trouble [07:18] I also try pidgin , but I don't know how to use it [07:19] bucky: i did that before. there was still a number of ruby items i had installed (a lot of them gem related, i believe). [07:19] toloykhan, you can ask in #pidgin for pidgin related help. [07:19] bucky: now that's all gone, should i try installing again from repos? also, does apt-get vs. aptitude make a big difference in my case (that of a noob, i just want a dev server that's the whole purpose of this) [07:20] Hello! [07:20] tipu, do you have the ruby command now? [07:20] is it gone [07:20] happy new year 2011 [07:20] happy happy [07:20] bucky: The program 'ruby' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install ruby [07:20] i have 80 cd's i need to transfer to mp4 [07:20] tipu, good.. start over [07:21] when i rip my cds with rhytmbox i wont get all the information what there is to get [07:21] bucky: i will be using the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails [07:21] there is no artist name or number of the song [07:21] do i need to install a plugin ? === Guest22017 is now known as jacksonn [07:21] I will check that out and back here soon, thanx dnivra and others [07:21] auch.. updated ubuntu... cant boot now. [07:22] toloykhan, no problem :). [07:22] i run vista and latest ubuntu [07:22] landingonwater, what happens when you start the machine? [07:22] i choose ubuntu, and it just reboots into the bootmanager again :( [07:23] bucky: WOW, that fixed it. my problem was that 'gem command', gem was always giving me this odd ball error. so i nuked everything and it seems to have work. my only concern is that if i only had the CLI, how could i have done that? [07:23] i updated in ubuntu, and didnt notice the kernel update. stupid [07:23] tipu, rubygems is in the repos for maverick already just make sure you get the right version [07:23] dnivra: is there anything i can do ? [07:23] bucky: i think it was nuking the gems as well that helped, however i am not 100% sure. there is no command line possibility for nuking gems, AFAIK. [07:23] landingonwater, can you access an older kernel? [07:23] bucky: i am not sure what maverick is [07:23] tipu, ubuntu 10.10 [07:24] tipu, maverick is the code name for ubuntu 10.10. [07:24] dnivra: i cant access anything. i do have a peppermint on cd though. but i dont know what the problem is. [07:24] i am not cool enough for code names, heh. [07:24] landingonwater, you said you can access grub right? [07:24] bucky: i really appreciate the help. didn't think any place would be available at 11:24 PST new years eve, thanks again!! been driving me crazy for past 3 days, this problem. [07:24] dnivra: if i see the choice between windows and ubuntu, i guess thats the grub im looking at ?? or ?? [07:25] landingonwater, yeah. and do you see multiple entries of ubuntu there? [07:25] dnivra: ooh.. thats maybe windows ? [07:25] dnivra: i only see vista and ubuntu.. no more on that list :( [07:26] landingonwater, do you see ubuntu more than two times? [07:26] dnivra: only once [07:26] landingonwater, you updated ubuntu and there was a kernel update? are you sure? [07:26] does freenode block access from mibbit? [07:27] dnivra: yes.. there was a kernel update, and i was told to reboot to finish the installation [07:27] tipu, yes it does. for more queries related to the above, please head to #freenode. [07:27] landingonwater, and did you do anything like uninstalling old kernels before rebooting or did you reboot straight after update? [07:27] dnivra: when i chose Ubuntu, It just reboots [07:28] dnivra: there was a message saying i had to restart to finish the installation. i clicked resttart, and now im stuck. [07:28] dnivra: pretty dangerous update i would say :( [07:28] im trying to find my Windows hard drive through xubuntu, however the 'Places' part of the task menu doesnt show up like it did with gnome...anyway to find it? [07:29] landingonwater, so i'm pretty sure that old kernels still exist. could you pastebin your grub menu-i'll wait till you type everything out. === taiyal is now known as Guest24653 [07:29] oh great a dumbed down version of xchat :P [07:29] !pastebin | landingonwater [07:29] landingonwater: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:29] is kde vs gnome completely a subjective matter, or is there a technical reason to choosing one over the other? [07:29] tipu, memory usage perhaps? [07:30] ubottu: thanks :) [07:30] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:30] nullp0inter, you should perhaps ask in #xubuntu about this. [07:30] dnivra: how do i get the dump from grub ? i will need the peppermint then ? [07:31] landingonwater, just boot your computer, type out the entries you see in grub and pastebin it. i assume you are using another computer? [07:31] tipu, KDE is prettier, but is more resource hungry, gnome gets stuff done and isnt an eyesore, just its not as shiny as kde [07:32] landingonwater, if you are using the same computer, you can just pastebin grub.cfg/menu.lst depending on your version of ubuntu. [07:32] dnivra: only one laptop. but there is nothing to see really. after i chose Ubuntu and hit enter, it just restarts the machine. i think it say ntfs or something. maybe i cant see the disk ? [07:32] dnivra #xubuntu is dead [07:32] dnivra: oohh.. crap... could that be the reason ? [07:34] Hello all [07:34] hello denile [07:34] =D [07:34] Happy new years everyone [07:34] landingonwater, could what be the reason? AFAIK, if there is a kernel update, a new grub.cfg/menu.lst is automatically generated which has entries for the new and old kernel. so you should be able to boot the old kernel still. [07:34] make 2011 awewsome [07:36] dnivra: okay.. i dont get the list showing the new and old kernel.

Heard about Ubuntu because The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve facebook page talked about a Eagle Scout using Ubuntu as an OS. The OS sounded interesting. Just wondering if someone could exsplain more about Ubuntu. [07:50] passalman what is your modem type? [07:51] Re1ndeer, it is not something easily explained [07:52] Re1ndeer, imagine asking us to explain windows to you ;-) [07:52] true. [07:53] landingonwater, sorry mate was away. yours is a wubi install eh? should've mentioned that. can you boot windows? [07:53] ubuntu is so easy... even a scout can use it [07:53] Re1ndeer, I am sure plenty of users here would be willing to answer narrower questions :-) [07:54] Well, lets start with how do I get started. :P [07:54] How would I best diagnose a problem with my touchpad?

[07:56] smw, 1 sec.. screen shot [07:56] nit-wit, vista works fine, and the ubuntu shows up as an option when i boot. but restarts when i chose it [07:56] smw, so when it asks me to save, I save it to a blank CD? [07:56] nit-wit, quick update-he updated his ubuntu, there was a kernel update, he restarted and when he chooses ubuntu now, it restarts instead of booting. [07:57] nit-wit, ubuntu is my main now, so im pretty screwed [07:57] landingonwater, hold on there is a thread for this on a forum [07:57] nit-wit, ^^ is what landingonwater is having. [07:57] Re1ndeer, you first download it, then burn it to a disk. I recommend using infrarecorder for burning it [07:57] ok [07:57] Re1ndeer, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/index.html [07:57] ox3a, try quotes in your command maybe :) [07:57] Re1ndeer, ubuntu is mostly for technically apt people.

[08:07] dnirva, it take too long if i didi 9.10 > 10.04 [08:07] cutiyar, if you download 10.04 iso and install, you'd be upgrading to 10.04 direct right? [08:07] ox3a, the wubi uninstaller is fast and uninstalls everything [08:07] ox3a, best ubinstaller ive seen [08:08] dnirva,yes but i wanted it by upgrading not downloading it by iso and burn it [08:08] then reinstall wubi or ill help u do a real dual booter === dnivra_ is now known as dnivra [08:08] dnirva, ok thank i will download the lLTS 10.04 [08:09] ox3a, yes somtimes wubi just fails [08:09] dnivra: ok thank i will download the lLTS 10.04 [08:09] i have a problem with installing ubuntu to usb. it says it's unable to mount [08:09] cutiyar: There is no supported way to upgrade directly from 9.04 to 10.04. You need to go through 9.10. [08:09] rww, ok thanks [08:10] ox3a, i like wubi, i am using it now but i had to renstall it a couple times [08:10] cutiyar, you can backup your packages and restore them if you like. i'll get you the link hold on.

[08:11] ox3a, try to fix it if u like but wubi uninstalls 1oo% in 2 seconds [08:11] dnivra,yes [08:11] and reinstalls fast [08:13] UBuxuBU, how to uninstall it? [08:13] åñòü òå êòî ïî ðóññêè ãîâîðèò? [08:13] ox3a, windows add remove === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [08:14] UBuxuBU, You mean uninstall vista? [08:14] ox3a, wubi is just a file in windows in your programs add remove section or it may be called uninstall install in vista [08:15] ox3a, yes the uninstall section of vidta [08:15] vista [08:15] ox3a, i had to redo my wubi a few times in 6 mos [08:15] UBuxuBU,then i need to restart my pc [08:15] yes [08:16] ox3a, it is a great uninstaller gts it all out [08:16] back up all files [08:17] but u just installed it so u prolly have none [08:17] UBuxuBU, i will get it as wubi.exe in add remove program? [08:17] ill look in mine ox3a [08:17] nit-wit, great instruction in the forum. i will find my old laptop and move on with the surgery. AND there is a fix for future problems wubi. but guess i will never use wubi again. [08:18] ox3a, IN W7 uninstall it shows the ubuntu emblem and says ubuntu [08:18] Happy new year everyone [08:19] nit-wit, ubuntu site doesnt warn against Wubi. Apparently Wubi is only for testspin, and not for usage [08:19] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have 2x wpasuplicants starting [08:19] UBuxuBU, If windwos is problem then i can remove it [08:19] ox3a, only use the uninstall part in vista [08:19] landingonwater, it has its moments, yeah it is for trying out really. [08:20] any ideas where the '/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant' is being launched from ? [08:20] landingonwater, i would suggest using a VM for a test spin though. [08:20] ox3a, dont go lookin for exe's [08:20] ox3a, somtimes vista and wubi clash [08:20] dnivra, I had LinuxMint in Vbox it ran quite well [08:20] dnivra, mint 10 [08:21] UBuxuBU, let me check it. But what if i do not install it again? [08:21] ox3a, thats ok too [08:21] nit-wit, i run windows on vbox :). it's easier to test using VM's totally. [08:21] UBuxuBU, ok [08:21] anyone? can't log in, GDM stuck in endless loop, getting pretty annoying. [08:22] ox3a, if u want a real dual booter i have done about 30 of them [08:22] dnivra, well.. it was a testspin actually, and then i sort of just moved to Ubuntu :D [08:22] can start x manually as root in VT but not through GDM. soon as I log in it goes blank and back to login screen. [08:22] Rena-, press ctrl + alt + f1, login and run the command 'sudo service gdm stop'. then run 'sudo service gdm start'. hope this works. [08:22] dnivra: done that numerous times now [08:22] landingonwater, you could have just used live cd to test right? [08:23] Rena-, i'm not quite sure how to help. maybe somebody else can. meanwhile check /var/log/messages to see if something is going wrong. [08:23] my synaptic seems to be broken, I can not update my system anymore. Anyone can help? [08:24] okapi, what happens when you try to open synaptic? [08:24] ox3a the windows/ubuntu dual boot using side by side is better than wubi and extremely easy and the advanced is even better but more work [08:25] wow [08:25] hmm [08:25] ok wait [08:25] dont [08:25] dnivra, haha.. true.. you are right, but live cds are so slow, and i wanted to play with lightzone and some ruby, but i hate vista with all my heart, and i got into the nasty habit of playing urban terror as well :D [08:25] y [08:26] dnivra: I am trying to update the system but nothing happening. Also the software update shows out of date for more than 40 days. [08:26] wtf [08:26] landingonwater, oh yeah they're very slow. that's why i boot iso's via grub2 to test or use VirtualBox. === Tito_1 is now known as Tito0096 [08:26] okapi, how are you trying to update the system? [08:26] heh ubuntu freezes on older computers after hd instal why is that [08:27] Rena-, gdm also creates logs in /var/log/gdm. check them out too. [08:27] Rena-, maybe check only them ^^. [08:27] * skraito say hi all [08:27] checked those, nothing unusual there [08:27] msaki its a kernal issue [08:27] dnivra: 2 ways: with the synaptic by reloading and marking all update and by using apt-get command [08:28] wow [08:28] the one thing I do see is in .xsession-errors: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0.0" [08:28] ram leak [08:28] wb ox3a [08:28] :/ [08:28] it gets to login and keeps bumping me back out of ubuntu desktop [08:28] okapi, when you use apt-get command what happens? [08:28] no answer? switchen to fedora [08:28] ox3a, do you want a realdualbooter [08:29] UBuxuBU, i don't see any installed program in add remove [08:29] UBuxuBU, i do not need it. Just i use it for wimax internet [08:29] ox3a, did u uninstall it [08:29] okapi, are you able to download the package lists using 'sudo apt-get update' successfully? [08:30] dnivra: apt-get clean && apt-get update the system is reloading the repositories with few errors about pgp keys. Then apt-get upgrade nothing happening. No update found [08:30] UBuxuBU, i do not see any program in win add remove [08:30] oh, hey. someone chown'd my .ICEauthority. now it looks like it's working. [08:30] wonder why that didn't show up before... [08:30] ox3a, its in vista uninstall [08:30] if u had wubi [08:30] time to reboot and see what happens then [08:30] dnivra: I am using sudo -s before I start [08:31] ox3a, were u running the live cd or did u do a wubi install [08:31] okapi, that's the issue probably. it fails to download a few package lists, uses the old package lists and so no updates but the package lists are indeed old. [08:31] okapi, try a different mirror. might work. [08:31] :) [08:31] UBuxuBU, no direct dual boot [08:32] ox3a, u said wubi before [08:32] hi everyone. On Ubuntu 10.04LTS (upgraded from previous versions) and I'm getting 2x wpasuplicant's launched on boot. [08:32] then its not in add remove oruninstall [08:32] I'd like to find what's starting this one: '/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant' [08:33] UBuxuBU, sorry misunderstanding. So? [08:33] ox3a, if u wish to remove it u jist delete the partition if u backed up files [08:34] ox3a, do u have all files backed up and vista restore disks [08:35] UBuxuBU, I can delete it no problem . Just i need to solve it in order to making costomize ubuntu [08:35] suppose I resize my root partition (I have no separate /boot) by shrinking it from the front, will that fuck up efforts to boot from it? [08:36] it would be easier to delete the ubuntu prtition and reinstall it if u have ni important files in it [08:36] no* [08:36] don't want to reinstall === coaboa||away is now known as coaboa [08:37] ox3a, is this an fresh install or something you had for awhile [08:38] UBuxuBU, Actually which i need to delete . windows ? [08:38] Morning. Anyone here experienced with wifi networks? I'm having some problems at home .. I'm getting packet loss to the router, and it's working quite unstable in general. I have a D-Link DIR-615. There are about 15 wifi networks in the area, so I'm suspecting interference, but forcing the channel to the most lone one (1) didn't make any noticable difference. Any suggestions ? [08:38] ox3a, what is your main os [08:38] UBuxuBU, Ubuntu [08:38] oh now i get it ox3a [08:38] u installed vista 2nd [08:38] yeah [08:39] UBuxuBU, yeah [08:39] ox3a, its best to do vista 1st [08:39] then buntu [08:39] u prolly needto reinstall grub now [08:40] ..which is very easy if ubuntu is intact .. [08:40] but i have not done it tat way [08:40] UBuxuBU, I also installed wine of ubuntu [08:40] try installing grub [08:40] UBuxuBU, How? [08:41] have you backed up all your filees ox3a [08:41] files [08:41] ox3a, insert your ubuntu cd and boot from it. You can chose to do a repair in the menus. In the repair menu, chose to reinstall grub. [08:42] UBuxuBU, that is mean installing ubuntu again? [08:42] listen to milligan [08:42] look up a few lines [08:43] just install grub , boot ubuntu cd , use repair option [08:43] install grun ox3a [08:43] grub === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ-away [08:44] ox3a, no..reinstalling grub is not reinstalling the entire ubuntu os [08:44] milligan what repair menu [08:45] UBuxuBU, ok. But you think uck problem will be solve then? [08:45] I can't login to my Google Account. My username is magn3ticpersonality (or magn3ticpersonality@gmail.com) and my password is st3ngam67UiX1! This has only happen since upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. [08:45] ox3a, i think so [08:45] nit-wit, booting the cd there's a menu called repair, if iirc [08:45] ox3a, did u back up all files [08:45] UBuxuBU, OK... can you tell me how to reinstall grub? [08:46] UBuxuBU, From CD? [08:46] magn3ts: login with browser or what? [08:46] i havent done that but milligan told u....boot cd, use repair, install grub [08:46] gobbe, yes [08:46] magn3ts: contact google, logging to webservice has nothing to do with your operating system [08:46] milligan, I do this every day and I have never heard of reloading grub this way, to the mbr? [08:46] gobbe, it worked fine in windows [08:47] magn3ts: what kind of error message do you get? [08:47] he installed vista 2nd [08:47] nit-wit, huh? You do what every day? I believe the CD has an option to reinstall grub. If not, you can drop to a console and repair it. [08:47] rescue mode [08:47] nit-wit, and if you know the correct procedure, you should tell him how to do it, instead of arguing with me :) [08:47] reapir grub [08:48] UBuxuBU, OK [08:48] ox3a, sit tight for a moment [08:48] milligan, it is quite simple, you just boot the live cd and two commands in the terminal [08:48] UBuxuBU, Going to do it right now [08:48] magn3ts: Go ask Google about it. It has nothing to do with Ubuntu. [08:49] ox3a, well u will not say if u backed up files so... [08:49] milligan, I'm not argueing was just trying to get the correct information posted [08:49] >:( [08:50] nit-wit, no probs :) As I stated earlier, I don't remember the exact details. Memorizing the ubuntu boot cd options hasn't been my main priority ;) [08:50] milligan, they will be back if they don't get it.:) [08:51] What package do I need to install to give my web server wpa compatibility? [08:51] How can I tell if my CPU is 64 bit? [08:52] deepsix: whats the model? [08:52] look in bios [08:52] deepsix, in a terminal: uname -a [08:52] uname -a just says whether your kernel is 64-bit, not the machine. [08:52] Model is Intel celeron series [08:52] 32bit [08:52] deepsix: when did you get it. [08:52] deepsix: some Celerons are 32-bit, some are 64-bit. Do you have the model number? [08:53] shit dude this thing was running XP [08:53] 32bit [08:53] Hi [08:53] um, I got the clock speed where is the model number? [08:53] deepsix: What year did you buy it in? [08:53] I didn't [08:53] I adopted it from my gramps [08:53] deepsix [08:53] what year was it built? [08:53] deepsix: are you running a Linux on it right now, or Windows? [08:54] I adopted it ha [08:54] good question rww [08:54] idk [08:54] =O [08:54] Ubuntu Lucid [08:54] deepsix: Just to be safe, run 32 bit.

[09:07] Although I am having trouble getting something to...type chinese on linux. [09:07] yes ylmf ubuntu [09:07] It's why I still stick with windows a lot of the time. [09:08] I'm sorta running xmonad..so I don't exactly have a tray (nor particularily want one) [09:08] how to sync backup my web and mysql date? [09:08] data .. [09:09] I really, really want meta (instead of alt) to send ^[ to my terminal, without swapping alt and meta entirely (I prefer the existing bindings for alt and meta in metacity). Does anyone have any idea how to do this? [09:09] UBuxuBU any ideas then? [09:09] say i went to download a copy of ubuntu 10.10 and it directed me to an attack site [09:10] :O [09:10] linuxfreedom was the mirror [09:10] firefox has not failed me yet [09:11] Hello. [09:11] why goto a 3rd party site to start with ? [09:13] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [09:13] Hey guys I have a problem. I'm trying to install Starcraft 2 - Wings of Liberty on my Ubuntu 10.10. I've ran into a problem while running the Installer.exe with Wine. I have Version 1.3 on Wine. [09:13] r00t4rd3d: i didn't [09:13] i clicked the little download button on ubuntu.com [09:14] redirected me to linuxfreedom.com which is an attack site [09:14] what does it say kingbdogz [09:14] The problem is that it says it has "too many files open", so I checked up on google to see what was wrong. People suggested to increase ulimit (which I did, via ulimit -n 10000) but that did not solve the problem. [09:15] i normally use PlayonLinux [09:15] never had any issues [09:15] What is it? [09:15] kingbdogz, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 [09:16] r00t4rd3d I am aware of that, and I have followed the directions. [09:16] hmm === iampaw is now known as landingonwater [09:16] try PlayOnLinux [09:16] its an app [09:16] Yes, I have copied the files onto my hardrive and then ran them through wine. Still no luck. [09:17] You can get PlayOnLinux threw the synaptic package manager [09:17] got disconnected, where were we... [09:17] Okay I'll check that out. Thanks for the help, I'll come back if I have any problems. [09:17] nit-wit: im back. fixed the problem with the info from the ubuntu forum. edited grub.cfg [09:17] or here http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/3.8.8/PlayOnLinux_3.8.8.deb [09:18] kingbdogz: attnetion please [09:18] nit-wit: will try their fix as well.. hopefully that will prevent further accidents. [09:18] hello all [09:18] landingonwater, cool I looked at that and just shook may head and said better you then me.:) [09:19] i cant get a dvd to play can anybody help [09:19] nit-wit: i used peppermint konsule to mount and then edit. hahaha.. yeah.. what a ride. wubi is not a good idea. [09:19] landingonwater, do you want the wubi to a partition link for a bookmark [09:20] wow, I did a google search for: 'PlayOnLinux PPM' and the top 10 results are for sulfide testing kits [09:20] billy what version of buntu [09:21] 10.04 i think [09:21] nit-wit: what do you think is the best solution ? [09:21] nit-wit: what do you mean by bookmark ? [09:22] Install the libdvdread4 package bily [09:22] landingonwater, I would dual boot it but it is good to look at the HD setup first. I don't know what you have in it now [09:22] everytime I go to the "Places" menu and try to browse a folder or a filesystem from the gnome desktop for some reason it opens vlc rather than a file browser [09:22] any idea what would cause this? [09:22] through the terminal? [09:23] sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 [09:23] * Then open a terminal window and execute: [09:23] sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [09:23] landingonwater, here is a link for you to bookmark save of how to move that wubi to a partition as well if your brave. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 [09:23] where i can find good books on directfb development [09:23] Desbian Vs Ubuntu, i cant get Ubuntu on my desktop , but is desbian a good alternative? whats the difference from ubuntu and desbian? [09:24] nit-wit: well.. there is the wubi partition on sd1 [09:24] anyone? [09:24] landingonwater, do you have a raid setup [09:24] corruption [09:24] *debian [09:24] billy@billy-DIM4500:~$ sudo apt-get install sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh Reading package lists...

[09:25] try synaptic billy [09:25] update 1st [09:26] can any one please suggest me good book on directfb [09:26] billy i need to know if its really 1004 lucid [09:26] nit-wit: no raid. only one HD. its a laptop. haha.. i just look at your link. looks great.. not so great if anything goes wrong :D [09:27] can anyone help? [09:27] yeah it is i rememebered i downloaded a new copy and rebooted last week [09:27] nit-wit: what Ubuntu should offer is some migration software that could handle this problem. [09:28] i am goin to boot into lucid now billy [09:28] please help! [09:28] nit-wit: at least i found you guys here on IRC, but a total noob would be lost completely [09:29] thankyou [09:30] landingonwater, yeah it would be nice to see more work done with wubi so it is better [09:31] nit-wit: so... I should write the Ubuntu dev team so they can at least give better warning on the Ubuntu website maybe ? because I thought It was okay to run with the Wubi install [09:31] landingonwater, you know about partition limitation s in amounts and types [09:32] nit-wit: been awhile since i played with that. so i guess i dont. but for moving to a new partition i would need alot of free space i guess. [09:33] Does anyone know of any good video/audio software for linux? not like itunes, but like adobe premiere elements and cooleditpro , some mixing tool of somesoft? [09:33] /set irc_conf_mode on [09:33] nit-wit: is it correct to assume that my current install depends on a healthy vista partition ? [09:33] landingonwater, you can have 4 primary partitions maximum, but you can have 3 primaries and then a extended which can have a unlimited logical type. Ubuntu installs to a logical and boots fine [09:34] * UBUxUBU sharpenshis cletes... [09:34] where were we [09:35] nit-wit: aah.. i see... so i better check twice before attemting anything. uuh... too much action for 1st of jan [09:35] landingonwater: Your wubi install depends on a healthy NTFS partition, not the actually Windows install on that partition (except the boot loader stuff) [09:35] carson you can install vlc or mplayer [09:35] i use them and i like them [09:35] hello [09:35] whats the advantage of 64-bit ubuntu over 32-bit? [09:35] nit-wit: so at least moving the bootloader is a good idea. [09:36] okay il check them out, can they be profetional and really good, or are they like windows movie maker quality programs? [09:36] carson: i didnt follow that one.. what are you looking for ? [09:36] nevermind [09:36] carson if you want convertor or mixing software ? [09:37] landingonwater, with a partitioned install the grub bootloader would be installed and grub to Ubuntu. In wubi it isn't running grub or using it as a bootloader exactly, it is sort of a illusion [09:37] nio707 Mixing, editing software [09:37] carson: There's some stripped down versions, and some cadillacs as well [09:37] carson, ReZound and Audacity [09:37] carson: If you want simple you can get it, if you want whistles and bells, there's other programs that do that too. [09:37] for small conversion mplayer has mencoder which is perfect utility but it is a command line [09:37] utility [09:37] landingonwater like how windows has windows movie maker (Adobe Premiere Elements is better but same idea), some editing/mixing softwares for audio and/or video [09:38] I also tested UCk but still problem [09:38] Where does Nautilus store the metafiles for folder views? [09:38] landingonwater, the dila partitined install would have grub in the mbr, and the grub menu for Ubuntu amd Windows [09:38] billy To install extra codecs, press Applications → Add/Remove..., type “codec” in the Search box and select which codecs you want to install. Press Apply to install the selected codecs. [09:38] *dual [09:38] carson wine will also run cooledit pro [09:39] Flannel well Im looking for a replacement for my Windows softwares, by whistles and bells do you mean lots of effects/filters/really good, or as in looks pretty [09:39] Anyone know how to set the folder view global in nautilus? [09:39] r00t4rd3d i tried cooleditpro threw wine and it crashs on startup [09:39] I can only do it on a per folder bases [09:39] is there a way to mount that ntfs drive which I used for wubi install [09:39] i was just looking there it says i need ffmpeg codec library [09:39] carson: The former [09:39] carson i never used vidio mixing software but you can use avidemux [09:40] currently mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 /mount/place doesn't work [09:40] Flannel okay il check it out, is that for audio or video? [09:40] nio707 avidemux, il check it out, thanks [09:40] nit-wit: hmm.... so there is no way around it unless i migrate it complete. would almost think a clean install would be an easier solution. [09:40] i never had to mount anything using wubi it does the loop for u [09:40] carson, they say it should work ....http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=19 [09:41] carson also you can install kdenlive it is very powerful software if yu want professional software [09:41] landingonwater, I would go clean install if it was me [09:41] carson: the spectrum is available for both. I didn't name any programs though, so you might be thinking of someone else recommending something. [09:41] sorry removed dont worry i havnt slept from last night thanks for the help [09:41] root4rd3d il check out ReZound, ive already used audacity on windows, and personaly id rather stick to other softwares but i could use that as a last resort [09:41] nio707 kdenlive, okay il check this out, gotta write down all these softwares :P [09:42] Flannel u said The former, i thought that was a program :P [09:42] back [09:42] nit-wit: i think you are right. even though it might be possible to dig out of it. a clean install. and then ask Ubuntu to put a big warning sign on their website. Wubi is for trial only [09:42] I have some data stored in my hard drive , that is very important to me, I do not want others to copy these data, is there a way to protect these data that anything copied from my hard drive would become trashes, no just encryption? [09:42] landingonwater, I have W7, and in a extended Maverick, linuxmint10, and Natty the release [09:42] UBUxUBU: Well I'd like to use my stuff that is inside storage. and my ubuntu is installed there. ubuntu mounts it as blkdev. and I cannot use example game executables [09:42] Anyone know how to set a folder view global in Nautilus? [09:42] carson for your reference there is a linux distribution which have all video editing mixing and dj software in it actually i forgot the name but it is ment for this purpose only [09:42] of course I am running gnome 10.04 [09:42] UBUxUBU, still the error [09:42] is waiting 30 min for the OS to boot too long? [09:43] Re1ndeer, yeah [09:44] nit-wit: well.. im sick of the vista anyways. so maybe i will wait some time and simply clean the whole machine. im a photographer, so i need win for most editing. DxO, Lightroom and photoshop. Only programs I cant replace. [09:44] nio707 really? well if you think of it please tell :P im gonna go look up these softwares thanks everyone! [09:44] so what do I do? [09:44] Hey everyone [09:44] <_6502_> hello... how do I shut down that F**KING DUMB self proclaimed "smart" tab completion ? [09:44] Thanks everyone for the softwares, im gonna check em all out :) [09:44] carson: bulgarian friend of mine is an editor [09:44] I'm brand new to Linux...I'm LOVING Ubuntu so far....I'm sad I took this long to jump on board [09:44] _6502_: Please mind your language. Which tab completion? What software? [09:45] landingonwater, you can do a W7 upgrade that is a little cheaper then a full price retail. only have W7 because of a student discount, I'm a 99% open source user [09:45] carson: he tried out the linux stuff, and he says its not worth the while. so I guess you should go for a dual boot and whatever is your flavor. [09:46] nit-wit: a win7 upgrade ? hmm.. i have a legal vista. so that would be great. [09:46] UBUxUBU, [09:47] billy You have to make sure you have enabled universe,multiverse repositoriesNow you need to run the following command to update the source list sudo apt-get updateInstall mplayer using the following command sudo apt-get install mplayer [09:47] landingonwater, I think you can still get upgrades from MS, not sure though. W7 isn't a bad set up, just don't really need it, but 25$ well spent got the pro version retails at 200$ [09:47] landingonwater yah i have some good software for Windows, but it isnt compatible with Windows 7 and i just wanna see if i can stick to linux instead of having to use the stupid windows 7 and do everything the hard way *IE Record everything in 7, then share files with XP in virtualbox and mix it in virtualbox.*, I just wanna see if i can stick to j [09:47] ust Linux or if i halfto do it on windows :P [09:47] sup ox3a [09:47] <_6502_> flannel: ok... you know that self proclaimed smart feature so that when you press tab it only shows you what it thinks are reasonable completion instead of just completing using globbing ? ok... i want to kill, erase, drop, trash, annihilate, destroy that nice piece of software and I just want a bare tab completion... how can I do that ? === coderw3x is now known as BlackToW3x [09:48] UBUxUBU, still the error [09:48] _6502_: In what software? firefox? a terminal? some other program? [09:48] <_6502_> flannel: bash, sorry.... i thought it was obvious but probably it isn't indeed [09:48] what are you trying to accomplish ox3a [09:48] almost all terminals have tab completion [09:49] UBUxUBU, UCK [09:49] tellme [09:49] nit-wit: win7 can be installed from hardrive as update. bit of a nightmare though. but since i dont want this wupi setup anyway, i might just wipe the whole disk. [09:49] UBUxUBU, ? [09:49] _6502_: To be honest, I'm not sure what smart tab completion you're talking about.

I used CoolEditPro wich is an older software, not completly compatible with Windows 7, so i record audio in Windows 7, then bring it to XP to mix and mix it in XP, so im trying to find a way to stick to one software [09:53] <_6502_> flannel: ok... found it [09:53] well i can do a clean dually no sweat [09:53] hey guys i'm considering switching my gaming desktop to ubuntu with wine being so improved since i last tried, but i'm worried about audio quality... is there a way i can get virtual 7.1 surround like i can with the THX option on windows with my SoundBlaster X-Fi MB2?

[11:21] Sriram: and what about NetBeans? [11:22] I have some data stored in my hard drive , that is very important to me, I do not want others to copy these data, is there a way to protect these data that anything copied from my hard drive would become trashes, no just encryption? [11:22] krogers0001 recovery mode command line [11:22] ouyes: not that ive ever seen. === neriukas is now known as K9 [11:22] juniour how do i go into recovery mode? [11:23] ouyes: perhaps some of the fuse tools.. but o doubt if what you are asking is possible,. [11:23] ctrl+alt+1 gives you a terminal with the command line [11:23] Dr_Willis, I think it is possible [11:23] krogers0001: the grub menu normally has a normal boot option, and below that a 'recovery' option. [11:23] guys the window border is not appear on the window and i dont know how to make ot appear. do you have any idea??? [11:23] +F1 i meant [11:23] Aihetleos: try alt-f2 then run 'metacity --replace' [11:23] krogers0001 while booting u get option like generic below there is option for recovery or command line [11:24] krogers0001 got it [11:24] ok [11:24] ? [11:24] yeah thanks [11:24] disable gdm, kdm, or xdm in you window manager of choice depending on your window manager of choicethen you when you boot up (or logout) you will be at the command line. Then to start your window manager (depending on which one) usually you can just type startx cheers [11:24] really appreciate it [11:24] im pressing alt f2 but nothing appears [11:25] Aihetleos: then gnome really crashed. can you open a terminal via the menus? [11:25] yes [11:25] Aihetleos: open a terminal then and try 'metacity --replace' in it. [11:25] use alter +f2 [11:25] Aihetleos: open a terminal then and try 'metacity --replace &' in it. if alt-f2 is not working [11:26] Happy New Year folks... [11:26] i open terminal and it works [11:26] use the 'exit' command to close the terminal [11:27] hi [11:28] is their any alternative for Notification Area in gnome ?

[11:30] Dr_Willis ::: mail/volume icons ... osd is not an issue [11:30] pratz: you can fix a lot of problems with a bootable flash drive. yes. [11:30] Ranjan: what do you want to do with them? Some docks have a way to 'hold' the icons also. [11:30] You might want to check out Tint2 at http://code.google.com/p/tint2/. [11:31] puppy linux is good for that. It boots as root and allows you to access all your devices instantly. [11:32] i went to the applications then to others and i press the metacity app then it work. Do you have any idea why it crashed? [11:32] Aihetleos: if compiz, or metacity crashes, then you lose you window borders. most likely you were using compiz and that crashed. meticty does the same job and is a bit more stable. but not as fancy effects. [11:33] Dr_Willis:: well I was looking out for thing that can reduce this space from panel cause I am using ubuntu on hp mini where work area is very limited .... [11:33] ok thanks!!!

[11:38] Ranjan: who can tell... they may change their mind 100 times.. in the next year. [11:38] Ranjan: I don't use one now. I've dumped it. [11:38] I use a tri-panel system but have no notificationsas it is. [11:38] I like panels and panel applets.. easy to undertand and customize. Now theres some weird anti-panel-status-bar disease going around.. [11:39] Dr_Willis :: ha ha :) [11:39] at least we seem to be getting away from the 'desktop widgit' obeseeion.

[11:41] ccaggie05: Upgradeing is a feature of the pacakge manager. so yes its possible. [11:41] Dr_Willis: I'm not anti-panel. I have three of them! But I only have what's necessary on those panels. [11:41] ccaggie05: yes it is [11:41] upgrading to a differnt disrto = not really a good idea. === y_t is now known as yen-thao [11:41] upgradeing ubuntu - should not affect windows at all. [11:42] ccaggie05: but some times .. system fails to boot up after upgrade ... may be system can get broke [11:42] Keeping /home/ on its own partition. can make life a lot easier. [11:42] ccaggie05: in your linux part [11:43] then you can do a clean reinstall. and not lose your users information/files. [11:43] can you use the same /home partition with other distros? [11:43] ccaggie05: you can. but need to be carefull. sunce the order of the users added, and the uid's assigned to them. can cause issues. [11:43] ccaggie05: use differnt usernames on each disrto would be a good idea. [11:44] you mean usernames for the OS? [11:44] the names of the Users you add when you install.. yes. [11:45] if you install 2 differnt ubuntu variants (for example) you could get away with same users. IF you added them in teh same order. [11:45] ciao [11:45] otehrwise user #1 files may show up as user #2's files if you added them in reverse order. [11:45] when you boot the other disrto. [11:46] what is the command to install tiddlywiki? [11:46] oh ok [11:46] user id's start at 1000 in ubuntu. If you add 10 users. they will be 1001, and so on up to 1010. If you do it in a differnt order. then theuir uid's will differ. [11:46] thanks for that tip [11:46] pavanai: you just download the file and put it in a directory. theres no install to it. [11:46] pavanai: its a stand alone wiki-in-a-html-file [11:47] I'm liking Ubuntu...but with so many options out there it's tough not to want to try them out... [11:47] Dr_Willis that site aint working [11:47] pavanai: theres otehr tiddlywiki sites out with enhanced versions. theres also the #tiddlywiki channel i recall [11:48] pavanai: in theory you can save any tidlywiki web site/page to a file. and have the whole site downloaded, you could then edit as you want. [11:49] ccaggie05: That's why we have Live CD's. [11:49] is anyone here got expirence with AWStats issues? [11:49] ccaggie05: if your PC is powerful enough... use virtualbox to try new distros... i do that a lot [11:50] pavanai: this site is working it seems -> has a download button --> http://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted [11:50] I have an issue with AWSTATS [11:51] issue is: Error: SiteDomain parameter not defined in your config/domain file.

[12:04] may be in some other xscreensavers pavkage. [12:04] if need be you can type sudo su then input your sudo users password then you'll be logged in as root, and you can then change chown on any directory [12:04] <`marianne`> i miss hypercube :( lol [12:04] gnugr: if need be you can type sudo su then input your sudo users password then you'll be logged in as root, and you can then change chown on any directory [12:04] /home seems to be mode '755' here [12:05] its better to use 'sudo -i' not 'sudo su' [12:05] hi [12:05] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [12:05] I made a iptables nat [12:05] and on the client PC [12:06] I can't access some websites [12:06] like Facebook [12:06] can some one tell me why ? :| [12:06] i am putting ubuntu on my laptop and when i get to the point were it says preparing to install the courser starts spining and it just has been siting that way for over an hour any ideas [12:06] most dirs in /home are www-data mode [12:06] <`marianne`> i think i just found a bug? the package xscreensaver-data-extra describes itself as having hypercube but it does not [12:07] gnugr: you may want to pastebin the output of 'ls -l /home' [12:07] ok hang on [12:07] gnugr: each user has their own dir in /home/ that should be owned by that specific user.

My /home is running out of disk space, i added an extra HD, but what's the method to move home to new HD? [12:23] john: the 'pae' kernel is a 32bit kernel with extras to allow access of over 4gb of ram. Its can have issues with some hardware. [12:23] john: that wouldent explain why you cant boot the cd again and reinstall however. [12:23] ??? [12:23] daniel_cynthiak: you have not asked an actual question that ive seen. [12:23] hi John [12:23] buntu: partition the new hd, format it, copy files, remount the new hd as your home (optinionally wipe your old home so that you can save some space after being sure everything is fine with the new home) [12:24] !movehome [12:24] Cyl: great, will figure out [12:24] the boot cd goes to the preparing to install and just sits there [12:24] theres some move home factoid. but i cant rember it.

[12:26] daniel_cynthiak: why would you prefer a female to answer this quetsion? [12:26] daniel_cynthiak: and whats an ascent m860 exactly?

[12:27] rumpe1: so what happens to my old /home? i dnt have much in old home. just curious [12:27] How do I start cron daemon? The time schedule server "cron(d)" does not seem to be running. [12:27] why Cyl u a female? :0) [12:28] ok im am running memtest [12:28] buntu: if you mount your mount your new home without moving it before, the old files become unacessible.. [12:28] buntu, nothing... just create /home/user/newstorage -directory and create an fstab entry (e.g. without auto-option) ... then you can mount via nautilus, if you need it by clicking [12:28] buntu: you could move the current /home to /oldhome, and make a new /home/ that points to the new filesystem [12:28] daniel_cynthiak: If I am? === hekos is now known as Hekos [12:28] what is ubuntu 10 system requirement?

[12:43] john: when the laptop boots up. you see a list of items.. ubuntu , then ubuntu (recovery), and how may other items? if theres more then those 2. try some farther down the list. see if any of those work. Look for one that does NOT have 'pae' mentioned in its name. [12:43] Jaacs: webcam support would be the same in mosta ll ubuntu variants./ [12:44] Jaacs: 10.10 may have support for more cals. [12:44] cams. [12:44] Jaacs: how are you testing the webcam? did you try it in cheese?

[12:54] ive used it before [12:54] I installed manually, now where do I go to configure it?

[12:55] and thats the part im trying to fix [12:55] toiletduck: is there some reason you don't want to install the normal way?

[12:56] was just wondering if anyone else here knew about it [12:56] usr13: Yes, it is. Im asking about starting it [12:56] sresu_: See crontab -i [12:56] ?

[12:58] wyclif: i dont want to install ubuntu [12:58] toiletduck: OK [12:58] I want to mount /dev/sdb1 to /mnt/coolfolder, but coolfolder doesn't exist. Is there a parameter I can use that creates the folder automatically and deletes it when I call umount?

[13:00] toiletduck: listen to what Linux_Galore is saying. I think it's just a matter of editing your grub2 config file [13:00] toiletduck: basically you need to remove grub from the mbr and install the default windows mbr [13:00] sresu_: You can't just do crontab -e ? [13:00] usr13: I just want to start it [13:01] how would i do that Linux_Galore? [13:01] Linux_Galore: yep, bingo [13:01] cos if i boot into the are of windows to fix the mbr through command line, it doesnt change anything. [13:01] sresu_: I do not think you need to start it. [13:01] toiletduck: never done it myself, need to use a windows partition management tool [13:01] sresu_: It's already started, unless you specifically stopped it. [13:01] toiletduck: windows itself wont do it [13:01] so what should i google for exactly? [13:02] toiletduck: remove ubuntu grub windows mbr [13:02] usr13:geirha: Well, then why it isn't running scripts which I've added?

(sorry for the rotten english btw ) [13:03] usr13: One moment [13:03] toiletduck: boot from your Windows CD if you have one, and enter console mode [13:03] hey [13:03] toiletduck: Recovery Console, when it asks if you want to boot Windows or not [13:04] litel: yes, depends on your bios but you can do a network install [13:04] sresu_: If you install the bsd-mailx package, cron should mail you with the output of the script. [13:04] netbook doesnt have cd drive, but it does have recovery built in [13:04] toiletduck: Press "R" when it asks you whether you wanna install Windows [13:04] Linux_Galore: Yes I can but how does it works ? [13:04] so will try through that. [13:04] sresu_: You can read those mails by running the mail command. [13:05] how to connect to IRC server by telnet? [13:05] toiletduck: when you get to the console, if you enter "fixmbr" it will delete GRUB and then yu should be able to boot Win [13:05] litel: basically you have a boot image file on a ftp server and you point your bios at it [13:05] wyclif ive tried that before many times [13:05] and it doesnt fix it. [13:05] still comes up with grub when i boot [13:05] toiletduck: but you have built-in recovery, right? on the netbook? [13:05] Linux_Galore: oh i see and is it possible do to do from the hdd ? [13:06] litel: its how old unix servers used to work, no floppies etc, just grab a boot image of a central server [13:06] * SC-M shalat dolo [13:06] usr13: geirha: Yes I tested that last script - gadmin one, its running. cat /etc/crontab - http://pastebin.com/H0uyaEM4 [13:07] sresu_: You want it to run every minute from 4 am to 5 am? [13:07] ok i googled it [13:07] and did what someone said to do [13:07] hey people [13:07] but it doesnt remove the option of what to boot to on start up [13:07] just a quick question [13:07] geirha: That was just set as parameter to see if it atleat works. I would change it if it works [13:07] its still asking about ubuntu or win 7 [13:07] toiletduck: can you access a DOS prompt? [13:08] hey linux galore you sound like u can help me i cant get ubuntu to install on my laptop well reinstall when ever i boot up the cop it goes to the grub menu and nothing works if u go up u can see the rest of what i have been talking about [13:08] i did it through dos [13:08] fixmbr doesnt fix it [13:08] geirha: I don't find any mistake in the script nor in crontab. Is it? [13:08] toiletduck: means the mbr hasnt been reoplaced [13:08] how do i read or mount .bin images in ubuntu? [13:08] sresu_: Well, either install the bsd-mailx package, or put at the end of the command: >/tmp/output 2>&1 [13:08] well Linux_Galore what else would you suggest? [13:08] sresu_: Then look at /tmp/output to see what's wrong. [13:08] Hi Team how can I acces this chat using empathy? can anyone guide me [13:09] toiletduck: have you tried running fdisk/ MBR? [13:09] geirha: I don't want mail of the ouput. [13:09] geirha: Hold on [13:09] toiletduck: usually I replace the mbr from within linux' [13:09] Linux_Galore: ok ok thx [13:09] do i type fdisk/ mbr into the command? [13:09] toiletduck: no' [13:10] geirha: The file/folder /tmp/output doesn't exist [13:10] Hi Team how can I acces this chat using empathy? can anyone guide me [13:10] toiletduck: you'd need to use a boot disk for that, but I forgot you already said this is a netbook =( [13:10] sresu_: * * * * * root /etc/gadmin-rsync/scripts/gadmin-rsync-Ubuntu.sh >/tmp/output 2>&1 [13:10] Jacs512: just add your freenode acc to empathy..then "join room" [13:10] geirha: Oh sorry. Where do you want me to add it [13:10] Gotcha [13:11] sresu_: Then wait a couple of minutes for cron to detect the new job and run it. [13:11] hi guys, may I ask something? [13:11] !ask | Jacruth [13:11] Jacruth: 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. :-) [13:11] geirha: You want me to add the line you suggested? [13:11] yeah but wyclif the netbook has the recovery built into. so i can format and reinstall and stuff like that. [13:11] sresu_: Yes, for testing. [13:11] toiletduck: there is another way [13:11] Jacs512: also make sure "telepathy-idle" is installed [13:11] geirha: * * * * * root /etc/gadmin-rsync/scripts/gadmin-rsync-Ubuntu.sh >/tmp/output 2>&1? Instead of the old ones? There is no time set for it all * [13:12] wyclif can you pm me? its so confusing in this channel [13:12] toiletduck: you can still use GRUB to boot Windows by telling it to load your NTLoader [13:12] toiletduck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1381658 [13:12] I have installed playonlinux, however it is not in the Gnome Menu.

[13:15] Jacruth: thats a book answer, as in we have to write a book to answer the question [13:15] really? [13:15] sresu_: Most likely it's unable to find one or more command because cron has a different PATH env. [13:15] * SC-M is back [13:16] with cron - you normally want to give the full path to a command. dont rely on the default PATH. [13:16] Jacruth: wine can be pretty involved, needs a bit of reading [13:16] hello guys, I have one of the common problems on boot, for some reason, my old ubuntu desktop failed to start, http://pastebin.ca/index.php please could anyone help [13:16] sresu_: I have to go, hope you figure it out. [13:16] ok i have a dell insperon and i have ubuntu 10 .10 on it and i went to boot it up and it went to the grub menu and nothing works and now i am trying to reinstall but it get to the preparing to install and it just sits there and wont move forward [13:16] geirha: Well, different path as in> [13:16] ? [13:17] @uar13 [13:17] john: when it hangs, go to the console. (alt-ctrl-f1) and look for error messages, and check the output of the 'dmesg' command [13:17] geirha: Ah.. no, I don't think I would be able to.. I tried to do that early this morning. Then though of asking here [13:17] gsal, we need the link to the file not to the site [13:18] geirha: Well, thanks anyways. Well just what is the different path you are saying [13:18] john: i would also try redownloading the iso file on a machine that works. and makeing a bootable flash drive to try to install from. [13:18] Linux_Galore, oh sorry, http://pastebin.ca/2035688 [13:19] ok i will try that and come back [13:19] sresu_: ? [13:19] john: or burn the iso to a CD or something.

[13:22] john: 64-bit handles RAM more effectively than 32 [13:23] Linux_Galore, I didn't get it, u mean recovery mode, the second grub option? [13:23] john: basically 64 bit and 32 bit are like how many lanes there are on a highway, more lanes and you can access more data [13:23] rumpe1, sorry, what is "blkid" ? [13:23] so if i have 4 g of ram go 64 or just keep 32 [13:24] gsal, command-line tool to check the uuids of partitions [13:24] john: 4G is fine [13:24] john: for 64 bit [13:25] john: 64 bit machines are most frequently used for software development, scientific apps, schools, &c...a bit of overkill for a home user [13:25] john, if you have a 64bit processor, use 64bit ... else 32bit [13:25] Hi Team how can I acces this chat using empathy? can anyone guide me [13:25] john: in fact it is recomended as 32 bit address space cant see 4g [13:25] I think I have a problem with my video card, xbmc live works fine, but when I do an install it won't even give a grub menu [13:26] How do I get grub2 to force a terminal mode?

[13:27] cdavis, the grub2-entry [13:27] wyclif: some atoms* [13:28] N330 for example will handle 64 bit [13:28] rumpe1, yes blkid showed the same uuid for / partition the same as the fstab / [13:29] gsal, is it the uuid==04dae3-23... which is mentioned in the error-log? [13:30] rumpe1, which one supposed to be? /boot or /? [13:30] gsal, /boot could also be possible [13:31] sresu_: I'm back. run '' env >/tmp/envoutput '' as a cron-job and compare that with the output of env run in an interactive shell.

You'll find it's different. [13:36] lano: gnome has a feature to show mounted devices.. that can be disabled. [13:36] geirha: As in? I'm not able to get you properly ... [13:36] gsal, hmm.... perhaps you should update-initramfs [13:37] Dr_Willis, any idea how to do that [13:37] geirha: I can see this in crontab thou - PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin [13:37] how to play m2ts files in ubuntu [13:37] lano: ubuntu-tweak has a the feature. or you can edit the gconf files/gconf-editor.. but i just use ubuntu-tweak [13:37] geirha: You said "compare that with the output of env run in an interactive shell" .. how do I do that? [13:37] sresu_: Ah, then that's the PATH your script run from cron will have. === molly is now known as Guest20548 [13:37] sresu_: So, did /tmp/output have any error messages? === Guest20548 is now known as MrsJones [13:38] geirha: The file/folder /tmp/output doesn't exist [13:38] geirha: even after adding the line you said [13:38] sresu_: Hm.

[13:39] sresu_: No, /tmp/output would be useful though. [13:40] geirha: Didn't you just now suggested about evoutput something? [13:40] geirha: "compare that with the output of env run" [13:40] sresu_: That was just to give you an idea what environment your script will have when run from cron. [13:41] hi everyone, i was looking for a cheap certified by ican registar, can someone give me some hints? [13:41] Dr_Willis: I'm also making that script to test to add lines to files [13:41] i want to register a .eu domain [13:41] geirha: So, now what?

[13:43] geirha: crontab - http://pastebin.com/Lty9b50C [13:43] sresu_: wrong file [13:43] sresu_: Uhm. The last line is wrong.

It's probably causing a syntax error and makes cron not run any of those jobs or something. [13:45] geirha: gobbe: Pkay last lines is not as per seven fields. Okay. But that what geirha suggested to add.. Is'nt it? [13:45] sresu_: It was, but I expected you to add the 6 first fields yourself. [13:45] geirha: " env >/tmp/envoutput" right?

[13:49] sresu_: you cannot mark everything with * [13:49] sresu_: Yes, that's right.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [15:56] gobbe dude.. that worked, thanks! I was missing the "&& ..." portion of the command [15:57] sorry but someone asked what the problem was so I just repeated the message [15:58] piyushmishra: could be a DNS issue? Can you access jquery.com with its IP?: http://70.32.73.125 [15:58] shaggy2: my first thought would be something on your network.. that site works fine for me. [15:58] piyushmishra: oops - that IP was wrong... :-/ [15:58] te-he more seeders for ubuntu 10.10 than win7 32bit [15:58] yeats: I see apache2 test page [15:58] shaggy2: there is an actual file named ld.so.conf and you have to add the directory that you installed libGeoIP in to that file. after you have done that you have to run ldconfig. (you will have to do both as sudo) [15:59] piyushmishra: yeah - me too - that's the IP the host lookup gave me [15:59] KM0201: wtf man I said nothing about a site not working [15:59] is there any way to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 without uninstalling 10.04 [15:59] yeats: I can load some part of it though [15:59] !upgrade | juniour [15:59] juniour: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:59] shaggy2: it appears you are compiling gioip, did you know there was already a package? [15:59] shaggy2: KM0201 got his nicks crossed. no biggie [15:59] piyushmishra: do you have another example site you can't access? [15:59] When you set the setuid bit on an executable, where is the bit actually set? how does the OS remember if its been set? [15:59] I thought so [15:59] yeats: lemme check [16:00] is there any way to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 without uninstalling 10.04 [16:00] juniour: did you look at the links xangua shared with you? [16:00] juniour: update-manager -d [16:00] Juniour: go to update manager i think [16:00] juniour: yes, go to System > Admin > Software sources and change from LTS release only to Normal releases [16:01] ... [16:01] Psycho_Mario: no that is not correct [16:01] sacarlson: I know it is a package only the package didn't include a for bonuses so I went with the compile option however I came across this confusing peice [16:01] shaggy2: there is an actual file named ld.so.conf and you have to add the directory that you installed libGeoIP in to that file. after you have done that you have to run ldconfig. (you will have to do both as sudo) [16:02] juniour: after changing to Normal Releases you can go to update manager and it should offer to upgrade to 10.10 === Alex_t_ is now known as Alex_t [16:02] Milamber: still doesn't really answer my quetion. my I PM you? [16:02] How do I delete all ".svn" folders from a directory and it's sub folders? [16:02] ** May I PM you @ Milamber [16:02] rm -rf .svn doesn't do it [16:03] shaggy2: it's better to keep it logged on the channel in case others have the same issue [16:03] milamber: shaggy2 - it's better practice to add a new file to the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory rather than editing the /etc/ld.so.conf file [16:03] aurilliance: sudo rm -rf .svn [16:03] sacarlson, that doesn't remove the .svn folders from subdirectories, I just tried it [16:04] so instead of following what the tutorial told me I just do cp on the file and then continue with the tutorial? [16:04] hello. Anyone know about that move from elinks to w3m in ubuntu? [16:04] @DR_Willis i got it to work with a later version [16:04] nm got it [16:05] Idleone i am runnig ubuntu through wubi [16:05] have any of you had success installing and playing HoN on Ubuntu 10.10? [16:05] hey guys, it is possible to set up a wired connection between 2 computers (1 ubuntu and 1 windows) using a crossover Rj45 cable right? [16:05] aurilliance: what is the name of the dir that you want to clear? cd ~/pathtodir; rm -r *.* ; should remove all files including invisible ones in that dir [16:05] rs0832: yes it is [16:05] rs0832 ya [16:06] rs0832 happy new year [16:06] @RS0832: I use samba to share to windows [16:06] rs0832: yes - you just have to set the connection to "shared" on the computer with the juice [16:06] juniour: the process is the same. you just need to follow the instuctions [16:06] sacarlson, I wanted to remove all of the .svn folders from sub directories as well. To do that I needed to say rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn` [16:06] thanks anyway [16:06] k [16:06] aurilliance: opps forgot to add the sudo rm -r *.*; make sure your in the correct dir before you do this === teddy_ is now known as iMe [16:06] so doc what do u think the prob was [16:07] k thanks for the answers guys :) guess it;s the hardware [16:07] juniour, happy new year to you too :) [16:07] k [16:08] Anyone know how to fix this problem, i used kernalcheck for kernal update, and patch, and something did not go right beacuse now my ubuntu wont boot up :S [16:08] gobbe, juniour, shaggy2, yeats, k thanks for the answers guys :) guess it;s the hardware === T0wn3r is now known as ______xD [16:09] aurilliance: I just tested it, I created a dir ~/test, and touched .test.txt; then I did a rm -r *.* in that dir and it has removed it. [16:10] doc u still there [16:10] john I think he is idle [16:11] how do you fix a kernal panic ?... [16:11] aimio: by finding out what causes it [16:11] milamber: so instead of following what the tutorial told me I just do cp on the file and then continue with the tutorial? [16:12] aimio, start by pastebinning the error for the channel helpers :) [16:12] VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [16:13] shaggy2: after copying the file, you have to run: sudo ldconfig [16:13] Is there any way to hide tab-bar in the Terminal? I know that I can hide the menu bar but how about the Tab-bar? [16:14] shaggy2: but after that, yes you can continue following the tutorial. for more information on ld.so.conf google: dynamically linked libraries on linux [16:14] aimio, hmm is your old kernel still there? [16:14] i think so.. [16:14] milamber: ok so one issue now. the ld.so.conf file points to that directory/*.conf the file I am to copy to that directory is only a .so file not a conf file [16:14] not 100% sure. [16:14] aimio, then you should have an extra boot menu entry [16:15] milamber: will that matter? [16:15] shaggy2: it shouldn't [16:15] one sec i will check.. [16:15] What do I need to change/remove to be able to always see command output while loading ubuntu? [16:15] milamba: ok I'll give it ago [16:15] aimio, seems like it is attempting to load from the RAM fs [16:16] Frozenball: i *think* you have to remove ushplash... dn't hold me to that though. [16:16] BAZINGA! [16:16] !info usplash [16:16] usplash (source: usplash): Userspace bootsplash utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.52 (maverick), package size 35 kB, installed size 220 kB (Only available for amd64 armel i386 lpia powerpc sparc) [16:16] yeah i messed up when the build.py came up in the kernalcheck program i closed it to early thats why the maps are messed up :S [16:16] Thanks KM0201 ! :D I ain't balling yet though :P [16:17] aimio, k.. so do you have the old kernel? [16:17] and answer to the question you asked no there is no other entry in boot :S (Crap).. [16:17] aimio, do you have a live cd at hand? [16:18] hmm nope when i installed the ubuntu i used an usb but i think i reformated the usb drive :P [16:18] "epic fail".. [16:18] :P [16:18] aimio, ok.. try this [16:18] KM0201: (o.o) This is strange.. it isn't even installed [16:18] aimio, if you get the boot menu press [16:18] Frozenball: usplash isn't? [16:18] What file hosting to save files is the best ? i need file storage for long time, i don't want that it' delete files after 30 days [16:18] ops [16:18] *oops [16:18] aimio, 'c' and in the grub shell, type update-grub [16:18] FrozenKnight: usplash isn't? [16:18] KM0201: Nope. it isn't :) [16:19] weird [16:19] FrozenKnight, we should totally swap names [16:19] usplash isnt needed [16:19] KM0201: well in fact it's strange, only sometimes does the splash appear and most of the time it's just blankscreen until it loads. [16:19] K9, ubuntuone? [16:19] yeats: can't find any other [16:20] yeats: I wasn't able to visit sites using facebook connect [16:20] FrozenKnight, let me check default grub hold on [16:20] Frozenball: Hehe I still think confusion is bound :P [16:20] FrozenKnight, proprietary drivers installed? [16:20] He he lo lo! Do you guys know how often will Linux saved stuff in its write buffer to disk? For example when I mount filesystems over sshfs. I always wonder after I saved "Hmm.. is this saved now or just in the write buffer"? [16:20] mongy: nope, it's an onboard video card... it doesn't have proprietary drivers. [16:21] yeats: aocbox.co.cc this [16:21] FrozenKnight, sudo gedit /etc/default/grub [16:21] What file hosting to save files is the best ? i need file storage for long time, i don't want that it'll delete files after 30 days. It can be and not for ubuntu only i ned just docs uploads [16:21] how do you add something to the default run level, like in gentoo the command for ssh was rc-update add sshd default [16:21] Frozenball, still, plymoutb might not like it, try setting framebuffer [16:21] FrozenKnight, there is a line you can uncomment #GRUB_TERMINAL=console [16:21] aimio, did you get my message? sorry, it git fragmented because i hit return instead of the ' [16:21] plymouth* [16:21] Hi, I'm having problems configuring shares between ubuntu a windows, could anyone help?. I'm getting "Host seems to be down" but when I ping the windows box, it's returning packets [16:22] FrozenKnight, i would check in #grub channel to be sure but I believe if you uncomment that you will disable grphical terminal === Frozenball is now known as Fzozenball === Fzozenball is now known as FrozenZall [16:22] Thanks coz_ :) [16:22] sorry Fzozenball , was meant for FrozenKnight [16:22] FrozenKnight, you must also do sudo update-grub2 before rebooting [16:23] mongy: I think I do have framebuffer because the resolution is the monitors resolution while switching to tty1-6 [16:23] rs0832 i got it but i'm not sure how i can get to the boot menu etc, beacuse the kernal panic happens right at the start :S i have tried to press something to get into a shell etc or something to be able to type but no luck :S [16:23] thanks coz_ ! :) === NG_ is now known as ng_ [16:23] anyone? [16:23] shinzu: maybe try install winbind package [16:23] Thanks FrozenZall :D [16:23] aimio, you have single boot? [16:23] aimio, hold shift [16:24] aimio, do ^^ and you should get grub [16:24] sacarlson: let me check that out [16:25] Hi! Does anyone know how to get DVD's playing on Xubuntu? Xine says that it wont play encrypted DVD! [16:25] there i am in grub now :d [16:25] happy times :D [16:25] FrozenKnight, echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash try that [16:25] aimio, k.. now type update-grub in the grub shell [16:25] FrozenFire, sudo update-initramfs -u afterwards === FrozenKnight is now known as FKnight [16:26] i get unknown command update-grub [16:26] mongy: it echoed FRAMEBUFFER=y [16:26] :S [16:26] HI :) [16:27] FKnight, and added it to the file 'splash' [16:27] sacarlson: I have no idea what to do with that package [16:27] So that's what it was. [16:27] how do you add something to the default run level, like in gentoo the command for ssh was rc-update add sshd default [16:27] shinzu: I thought all you had to do is install it? [16:28] shinzu: do you use synaptic? [16:28] aimio, what about update-grub2? [16:28] sacarlson: I still get host down. By the way, I disabled the firewall on my windows box [16:28] and the second line might be a "patch" for the kernel? :) [16:28] sacarlson: I used aptitude [16:28] shinzu: that should be fine [16:28] rs0832, nope no luck same message. [16:28] FKnight, ? no it updates the initramfs, needed to boot. [16:29] sacarlson: Still getting host down when I try to mount it, any ideas? [16:29] mongy: thanks :) bbs. :) [16:30] shinzu: well winbind will only help ubuntu find the windows box. when I have tried to connect to windows xp I need to have a windows account with a password to get it to work [16:30] aimio, try boot hd0,1 [16:31] aimio, not sure but you can give it a shot [16:31] sacarlson: I do have the credentials, how do you connect to it [16:31] rs0832, i get error: no loaded kernel :S [16:31] aimio, type ls and tell me the output [16:31] shinzu: are you shareing the files from the windows account with the password? [16:32] Yes [16:32] sacarlson: yes [16:32] shinzu: well I'm not a windows guy, I share my files for windows users on my ubuntu [16:32] rs0832, (hd0), (hd0,5), (hd0,1) [16:32] I'm having a weird problem with two programs in my shell. w3m closes the second I press a button when used to view any web page, but works perfectly fine in pager mode. links2 works fine if I call it directly, but I just installed a little wrapper script designed to feed arguments into a url before it launches, and now links2 behaves exactly like w3m (unless I start it directly) [16:32] sacarlson: Oh ok, thanks for the help anyway! [16:32] hello, how to install google earth? [16:33] shinzu, when you try to open the windows share, are you using a username and password? does it ask for those? [16:33] shinzu: I've had too many problems like you now have, and it has gotten worse in vista and win 7 [16:34] PerSeL, google for the 'g-earth' for linux.. Or install worldwind from package manager << open source version ,, like G-earth>> :) [16:34] aimio, hmm this would be easier if you had a live cd :) [16:34] nabend @all [16:34] rs0832, shall i fix one ? [16:35] trojan_spike: I have tried that and installed it shown in ineternet programs but it's not working [16:35] if you can wait ?. [16:35] aimio, if you can, sure [16:35] ok, i will be back soon.. [16:36] PerSeL, i must admit,, ive had that problem aswell,, the open source version works well tho.. [16:36] compdoc: Here's what I did. I edited /etc/hosts and added the IP to the windows box with a name. I created a new directory to mount it on. Then I edited fstab to be able to mount it, using cifspw for the credentials. Then I entered user/pwd in /etc/cifs (Which I specified in /etc/fstab). And I tried to mount it using sudo mount -a [16:37] shinzu, before doing all that, just select Places > COnnect to Server, and see if you can log on [16:37] Hi. Im setting a new path PATH=/new/dir:$PATH so I can run exectuables with ''make'' from /new/dir but i get 127 not found on a specific file that is located in /new/dir. What can be the problem? [16:37] trojan_spike: where can I find how to install the open source one? [16:37] compdoc: I tried to, but I'm unable through Connect to Server [16:38] then you have to fix that first [16:38] hi [16:38] the username and password you used exist on the win box? [16:38] Yes [16:38] compdoc: Yes [16:39] how can u if at all install internet explorer on ubuntu [16:39] john, wine and winetricks [16:39] happy new year all [16:39] wine [16:39] Happy New Year! [16:40] shinzu, on the win box, in properties for the local area network, is windows file sharing installed and active? [16:40] PerSeL, ubuntu software centre,, search 'worldwind' >> 3D Virtual globe [16:40] ok thought so just wanted to make shue thanks [16:40] john, playonlinux can also do the task [16:41] In the last few days when I do my first login after booting (10.10) my panels are gray and opaque, all my hot keys don't work. If I log out and then back in, they work as expected once again [16:41] cool [16:41] trojan_spike: is it works as google earth? [16:41] compdoc: Yes, it's active [16:41] Hi. Im setting a new path PATH=/new/dir:$PATH so I can run exectuables with ''make'' from /new/dir but i get 127 not found on a specific file that is located in /new/dir. What can be the problem? [16:41] PerSeL, pretty much,, no geo tag etc tho [16:41] quit [16:41] mod, under circimstances like this... the first troubleshooting I would do is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:41] shinzu: after all that I missed what version the windows side is? [16:41] rany, did you export? [16:42] PerSeL, trojan_spike you need to install the 'lsb' package for google earth to work [16:42] PerSeL, u could always search the forum on how to get G-earth onto ubuntu BTW [16:42] coz.. yeah... he ok. sounds like it came from updating/upgrading [16:42] rs0832: how do I do that? [16:42] rs0832, lsb? [16:42] I'm having a weird problem with two programs in my shell. w3m closes the second I press a button when used to view any web page, but works perfectly fine in pager mode. links2 works fine if I call it directly, but I just installed a little wrapper script designed to feed arguments into a url before it launches, and now links2 behaves exactly like w3m (unless I start it directly) [16:42] sacarlson: Windows Xp =) [16:42] shinzu, in win XP, theres a thing called simple file sharing - you might google how to turn that off, and then google about sharing with windows XP [16:42] coz, oh hmm it might have started after adding getdeb [16:43] can anyone open bettercodes.org [16:43] PerSeL, trojan_spike yes... it is in synaptic... you can install from there (linux standard base/ packagename is lsb) [16:43] is there an upstream kernel ppa? I think I found a bug in the ubuntu kernel. [16:43] piyushmishra, yes [16:44] trojan_spike: only issue w/ Worldwind(at least for me) is it is considerably slower than google earth [16:44] compdoc: I can't. also can't open jquery.com. is there facebook connect on that site? [16:44] rs0832, that should surely come installed already [16:44] no idea [16:44] rs0832: lsb-base is installed on my ubuntu [16:44] PerSeL, trojan_spike well, it didnt.. for me and 2 other guys.. installing it worked for all 3 of us [16:44] compdoc: why can't I visit sites? [16:44] mx.archive.ubuntu.com always fail to resolve on apt-get update [16:45] PerSeL, what about lsb? [16:45] piyushmishra, you cant on ubuntu or on the win box? [16:45] ooops [16:45] PerSeL: you need lsb-core that's what makes google earthw ork [16:45] compdoc: I can't on ubuntu [16:45] sorry - got you confused for a sec [16:45] compdoc: Simple file sharing is turned off from before [16:46] How do I get HDMI video to work? I'm using a radeon HD 4670 graphics card and everything shows up until the x server starts, and then the HDMI output stops [16:46] rs0832 KM0201 ok Installing now [16:46] PerSeL, trojan_spike what KM0201 said exactly... lsb installs lsb-core as a dependancy [16:46] PerSeL: it should work fine after you instal that. [16:47] rs0832: i don't know if it installs it as a dependency, but i know google earth depends on lsb-core [16:47] KM0201, ty [16:47] Hallo ich habe eben Ubuntu 10.10 64bit auf meinem Rechenr installiert, leider kann ich nun Windows nicht mehr starten, es erscheint kein Auswahlmenu am Anfang.

[16:53] compdoc: There's one, It has full access [16:54] rs0832: if i had to guess, he had MAC filtering on, but he lost his password to log into the router, thus requiring the reset to get everything to co-operate [16:54] f.u.k u [16:54] piyushmishra, ok, so youre machines use static ips from your isp [16:54] compdoc: you mean the ip of my router/modem in my local network?

[16:55] compdoc: not static actually we get a new one after each reconnection but yup you can access me directly form that ip [16:55] why red [16:55] rs0832: yeah, it was easy once we got into his router, then set everything up again. [16:56] piyushmishra, is the subnet address the same on both machines? [16:56] compdoc: my router ip is 192.168.7.1 and my pc ip is 192.168.1.119 [16:56] see, thats weird [16:56] kleopatra: well, it looks like your xp partition is still there. [16:56] KM0201, k good thing it's finally solved.. i don't even remember where i left off with him :D [16:56] lol.. he was here a while, might have been one of your all nighters [16:56] compdoc: both machines as in my router and my pc both are 255.255.0.0 [16:56] KM0201, now i have to figure out whats up with my cable [16:57] just going for reboot lets see what happens [16:57] if thats the case, your pc should not be using 117.200.224.1 as a gateway [16:57] 255.255.0.0 is odd too [16:57] the router ip should be the gateway address on all machines [16:58] KM0201, yes he was :) .. i really think these companies should have more support for drivers for their devices... his router manual and drivers were only for a very old version of ubuntu [16:59] compdoc: windows is on the same machine I access it with reboot- grub and I have put the router ip in gateway for the DSL connection where I dial am not sure why its not using that ip [16:59] rs0832: yup... [16:59] oooh - its dual boot? [16:59] I thought you had two seperate computers [17:00] compdoc: I see 4 destination-gateway and in first 117.200.224.1 n gateway 0.0.0.0 [17:00] last one is just the opposite [17:00] second destination is 169.254.0.0 n gateway0.0.0.0 [17:00] third 192.168.0.0 n gateway 0.0.0.0 [17:01] compdoc^ [17:01] thats seems all wrong [17:01] very wrong.

[17:02] kleopatra: did it work? [17:02] hmm i thought that the 117.200 range was for external ip;s [17:02] Would anyone mind helping me with installing proprietary wireless drivers via the terminal? [17:02] piyushmishra, can you boot into the windows OS and log back in here? [17:03] the last one is destination 0.0.0.0 and gateway 117.20.224.1 [17:03] its dual boot, yes? [17:03] nickel1010: theres the jockey-text tool that might automate that for you.

It works now. [17:10] compdoc: that's what i thought as well :/ [17:10] sda1986, :) it is called a child process and parent process.. you can run the program by pressing alt-f2 and running the command from there.. [17:10] ^Phantom^, startup applications, untick [17:10] <^Phantom^> Sweet, thankies. [17:10] <^Phantom^> I don't really have use for it in my VM, per se [17:11] salut [17:11] rs0832, but if the process you have to start is gnome-panel you cannot, so i start it from terminal with & at the end and then i do "disown" [17:11] rs0832, so i can close the terminal without kill the son [17:12] rs0832, i am back, i have a live cd ready now.

And there is not a single program under ubuntu which found it. (well fdisk sees 160 gigs but not that hidden partition). [17:31] evon: ~ means your home directory, something like /home/evon/ [17:31] Amaranth: oh ok thanks [17:31] evon: so /home/evon/.gvfs/ (the . makes it a hidden directory, you need to make the file browser in your app show hidden files) [17:31] Hello everyone, can I have some help getting HDMI video to work?

[17:34] rs0832: also ...what demux will do is give me separate audio/video streams right? [17:34] bonjoyee, yes, if the mpg you got is muxed [17:35] rs0832: but what i want is to detect scene changes and split the video at that point...and repeat the process for the entire file [17:35] evon: you are right, but I guess it is slightly corrupted. Because when I were using windows (when I bought it) I found a program that found it and I guess it corrupted it. Now under my windows I cannot even use it to repair my system - so there is no need for it. [17:35] bonjoyee, since you mentioned that it still had the metadata, i suggested it [17:35] HELLO!! can I have a little help? [17:35] bonjoyee, scene changes? [17:36] numberto: LOL. ok then. I've used Gparted before and it sees the partition but I admit that I've never tried to edit it. Try Gparted and see what happens [17:36] What is the most recent version working on AR5XXX wireless chipsets? Do I need to go back to 10.04 to get a working ath5k, or is there a kernel available in 10.10 that works with this chipset?

[17:37] bonjoyee, yep.. btw, did it actually finish the recovery completely? [17:37] evon: Gparted does not see it [17:37] rs0832: so if a software can detect scene changes...that can help ..is suppose.. [17:38] bonjoyee, what kind of (scene) changes? [17:38] rs0832: yes it did..it scanned the entire 30gb hdd of the handycam..and produced a 27gb mpeg video! [17:38] numberto: sudo fdisk -l? [17:38] why do i keep getting this message?

[17:43] any one got problems with flash + chrome ?

[17:52] Then you despise Microsoft then? [17:53] TyrantElf, well, i guess none of the guys who know about that stuff were online today.,. i think there are some who know about it... but havent seen them online today [17:53] TyrantElf: verify both motitors (each at the time) with xserver, establish what mode will you use, and is supported by driver, hook up second sceen. [17:53] rs0832, http://pastebin.com/vvYzF2qz (boot ls)... [17:53] TyrantElf, ah there is one of them :) [17:53] Auriga i only want to use Open Source as much as possible [17:53] numberto. sorry man I have no idea then. Only thing i can think of is to try see the partition by using a bootcd like systemrescuecd [17:53] by verify you mean? [17:53] <{maste-server}> hi everibody [17:53] I am using ubuntu 10.04 but about me says that i am running 11.04..Why ?? [17:53] Bonjoyee, where do i place the .so file? sorry, i'm a newb [17:53] Daxt, I am trying to do the same thing. [17:54] Auriga that is good for humanity :D [17:54] piyushmishra, keep it that way - router mode is safer [17:54] Daxt I just recently moved my torrenting to Linux. [17:54] TyrantElf: connect, start system, check available setting (resolution etc) [17:54] aimio, hmm try update-grub [17:54] Next step is work out how to play games in Linux... [17:54] there is no advantage to bridge mode [17:54] karthick87: it's an error.... run lsb_release -a in terminal, and it will show what you're using [17:54] porkchop_: ~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [17:54] i dont play games :D [17:54] Then you are missing out... [17:54] TyrantElf, what are you trying to do? and is your grandmother here? [17:54] compdoc: :( I could play no nat aoc on bridge mode [17:54] Are you too old for games? [17:54] KM0201: Is it a bug?? [17:54] bonjoyee, maybe you are right about the mplayer... i'll check and let you know if i find anything [17:54] whats ubuntu's /boot/vmlinu*** called, out of curiosity ? [17:55] dougl, verry funny, and I'm trying to get dual monitors to work [17:55] dougl: she is having a nap [17:55] rs0832: thanks:) [17:55] bonjoyee can i also replace this in chromium? [17:55] karthick87: no.. somehow the wrong "about" got put into 10.04 and 10.10... [17:55] bonjoyee, :) [17:55] I need to be able to re-boot an unattended machine ona regular basis - so, I put shutdown -r 1 in the crontab for the root - it does not work - why not === {maste-server} is now known as {andromedhas} [17:55] Daxt have you been to chris pirillo for help? [17:55] Ubuntu connected to a Windows7Pro machine via wireless network. All working except printing. Samba4 installed. Otion to "Windows Printer via Samba" not in New Printer dialog choices. Printer is Canon IP1800, connected via USB to Windows machine. What do I need to do to print from Ubuntu? [17:55] TyrantElf: do you have ati diver or open? [17:55] TyrantElf, what kind of video cards do you have? [17:55] Daxt have you been to chris pirillo for help? [17:55] shcherbak, I have checked what both say, but my 22" led tv that I want to hook up with hdmi is shown as a 7" [17:55] evon: thanks, it is not problem. It is just google didn't give me an answer and I wanted to ask if anybody knew. [17:55] please ignore my previous question - /sbin/shutdown did it [17:55] porkchop_: the last time i tried chromium..it detected the flash player automatically when placed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [17:55] Auriga nope , i could not find help there [17:56] Usual thing... [17:56] dougi, a radeon HD 4670 using non-proprietary drivers [17:56] Chris Pirillo is harder than IRC... [17:56] piyushmishra, everything works other than those two sites. I wouldnt know what else to look for. Bridge mode is a security risk - anyone can connect directly to your PC [17:56] can someone tell me what the file in /boot starting with "vmlinu" is called (full name) ? [17:56] Plus they are fanboys too... [17:56] since it differs from distro to distro ? [17:56] piyushmishra, just switch modes when you want to play the game [17:56] aimio, did you run update-grub [17:56] ? [17:56] TyrantElf: not screen size, resolution like 1600X900 [17:56] compdoc: I won't use the bridge mode now but how do I get cloaked? [17:57] router mode protects you with nat and maybe a firewall, if the modem has it [17:57] rs0832, i get error: cannot find a device for "/" is dev/mounted?). but it's mounted on dev/sda1.. :S [17:57] Some help please , how can i get past the grub rescue if the install cd doesnt work and i only have windows installed atm? [17:57] compdoc: not two sites I can now use fb connect on all sites. earlier sites with fb login check were gone [17:58] bonjoyee awesome, thanks again [17:58] TyrantElf: with open drivers it is going to be... is randr working with your card? [17:58] shcherbak, The resolutions on the hdmi go up tp 1080p and the VGA goes up to 1020*768. [17:58] TyrantElf, sorry I have no experience with the ati but I did the same thing with my tv... ubuntu on one machine on one input of the tv and osx on another machine to a different input on the tv... was just plug and play with a little point and click in an nvidia settings app on the ubuntu [17:58] Nephy you could remove the hd if it is for data recovery... [17:58] porkchop_: it worked? 32 or 64bit? [17:58] bridge mode is only useful if you use a static IP, and even then, you should have a router with nat connected to the modem [17:58] aimio, can you pastebin /boot/grib/grub.cfg? === Habstinat_ is now known as Habstinat [17:58] one sec [17:59] aimio, k [17:59] piyushmishra, whats fb connect?

[18:00] bonjoyee 64 bit, yes works [18:00] TyrantElf: i am afraid that would be max on this driver, if there is ati stuff use it to compare, if not check for randr and twinview on open-source driver. [18:00] compdoc: facebook login . sites that used facebook login weren't loading. now they are. strange enough, I was able to use facebook === Guest9688 is now known as Gum [18:00] porkchop_: ok...glad to help:) [18:00] mneptok: mine went featureless :P [18:01] rs0832, http://pastebin.com/rfNwm12E [18:01] numberto. as a last effort try the gparted or clonezilla live CD === Gum is now known as Guest58991 [18:01] is there a prob with the 10.10 network - tried kubuntu and ubuntu and a distro based on it and can't connect eth0 or wlan0 [18:01] piyushmishra, do you use facebook apps? have you accepted any from friends? [18:01] Hello! I'm back and have another question, if i would like to change my splash screen do i just save a .jpg photo to /lib/plymouth/themes and then run the terminal with the sudo command? [18:01] piyushmishra: ummm .... happy new year? [18:01] Guest58991: sounds like it's not recognizing your devices for whatever reason...

[18:02] KM0201: it does an i can contact AP (router) just not outside it -- all other computers work [18:02] any facebook apps are a security risk - they suck your info [18:02] aimio, dont you get the all those options on your boot menu? [18:03] kmck: i do not think it is tan simple [18:03] *that* [18:03] Guest58991: then my first thought would be something inside the router that is not allowing it out... [18:03] shcherbak: do you know how to do it? [18:03] Kmck there is an app that allows you to do it I think... [18:03] compdoc: I am making an app so I can see the amount of data they can take out and now I read all requested permissions and not give away anything [18:03] good luck with that [18:03] Auriga: do you know the app name? [18:03] Guest58991: What KIND OF NETWORK are you trying to connect to? I've had similar problems now fixed. [18:03] yeah i think i do i am not sure. [18:03] KM0201: no every other computer can use it [18:03] rs0832, shall i try ? [18:03] Guest58991: now thats for your ethernet.... your wireless could be a whole other issue. [18:03] no, just looking for it... [18:03] Guest58991: so? [18:04] compdoc: lol I don't use a lot of apps so its :) [18:04] aimio, hold on [18:04] shchbaker, 1080p is the resolution I want, but There is no hdmi video. [18:04] Kmck...

[18:05] aimio, open the grub.cfg file as root [18:05] plasma and plasmoids are completely unresponsive [18:06] shchbaker, I don't get what your saying.

[18:09] Yessir. I have Ubuntu with a windows 7 machine. Windows Live Essentials absolutely prevented me from connecting. Uninstalled WLE, and WAH-LAH...perfect.

[18:10] rs0832, ok [18:10] i try chromium than [18:11] shchbaker, Do you think I should try instlaling the proprietary driver again? [18:11] Kmck. Glad to have helped. [18:11] TyrantElf: yes [18:11] JackOfHearts: nobody can tell on irc what level of experience you have ... so your response is a bit harsh..

I am getting strange graphics http://www2.ryankaskel.com/misc/ubuntu/strange_emacs_lines_20110101.png [18:13] bonjoyee: how can i remove a user from a group [18:13] shchbaker, the resolution isn't the problem, the fact that once X starts there is no hdmi output at any resolution is the problem [18:14] rs0832, it worked i got booted into my ubuntu :D - shall i delete the bad kernel ?.. [18:14] nevermind bonjoyee i got it [18:14] country0129: you mean that in your new printer window, there's no Windows printer via samba under network printer? [18:14] Yessir. [18:14] erm, removing sftp from the user didnt work bonjoyee lol [18:14] country0129: Samba4 is a bit different.. I don't know it.. what kind of support does canon have for linux? check their site.. it's not really a networked printer but more of a shared printer.. drivers for the canon I think need to be installed on the ubuntu box if available. [18:15] aimio, yes .. delete it, and then run sudo update-grub. your computer should be back to normal :) [18:15] Cups doesn't have a printer driver for that Canon printer. I wondered if it were possible to print through the windows machine. [18:15] rs0832, the problem for me now is i don [18:15] idon [18:15] i don [18:16] aimio, ? [18:16] TyrantElf: ok, have you tried to boot into recovery and run failsafex on hdmi? [18:16] Is there any download manage which employs queue manager? As in I can queue my downloads one after another ... [18:16] crapy keyboared.. i don't know witch one i should delete.. [18:16] country0129: perhaps using raw or ps but that really depends on the canon.. google might be your friend here.. also ubuntuforums.org [18:16] manager* [18:16] Thanks, Izinucs.

[18:18] sresu: strange...it works well for me...and the queue works as it should..what happens in your case? [18:18] do i need to fiddle with some apt path to get the python2.6 package? [18:19] thnx all [18:19] rs0832, i'm inside the boot folder now. [18:19] aimio, delete all the files with the version '2.6.36.2' in the name [18:19] aimio, make sure you delete the right ones [18:20] goetter: you can check if it is aviable i backports [18:20] is there like a search and delete command i can use [18:20] !backports | goetter [18:20] goetter: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [18:20] aimio, ill reboot and come back in a minute ok? delete what i told you to, then do an ls and pastebin it for me [18:20] like regex :S [18:20] ok so how do i update libjpeg62 [18:20] bonjoyee: In my case, suppose if I have four downloads to be run. I stack them one after another and when first finishes, it doesn't automatically starts second. (Moreover, at times every download almost stops at 99% that you have to pause and resume it to get it completed though that's secondary problem) [18:20] ok so how do i update libjpeg62 [18:20] shchbaker, explain how to do that and I will [18:21] bonjoyee: And how do you get it done for you? [18:21] skullboy, mark it for update in synaptic and apply changes [18:21] TyrantElf: you mean xinit? [18:21] aimio, so ill reboot now ok? [18:21] backports... hmm [18:21] shchbaker, that entire line, I've been using linux for about 6 months, but i'm still kinda new [18:21] ok i tried downloading something called splash screen in software center, and checked the box that said to use a splash screen on start up and added a .jpg phone and activated it and restarted and it still showed the purplish screen that said Ubuntu 10.10 and the little dots... am i suppose to 'de-activate' the original one or am i not doing it right? [18:21] aimio, ill make you work easier :) [18:21] how do i make a service start at startup of computer? [18:22] sresu: i have set max concurrent download to 1...when i add more they get queued..and then get downloaded in order! [18:22] oki [18:22] i found out [18:22] how to fix chrome + flash [18:22] !xinit [18:22] TyrantElf: first, can you see terminal on hdmi, can you login? [18:22] delete /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so [18:22] Gunni, I place a script in init.d [18:22] rs0832, cant [18:22] rs0832, there is like 30 files :P [18:22] so if lexmark only offers a 32 bit driver for my printer, does this mean i have to install 32 bit ubuntu? [18:22] or turn off in chrome options [18:22] kmck: 10.10 uses plymouth these days. it used to use usplash and xsplash. Im not sure those work proerly any more. [18:22] aimio, use the rm command to remove the following files : config-2.6.36.2-candela, System.map-2.6.36.2-candela, vmlinuz-2.6.36.2-candela [18:23] I need to switch to a diffrent computer for irc... [18:23] porkchop_: check the cups web site and the linuxprinting.org site. its possible the drivers are allready tehre and you dont need the ones from lexmark [18:23] rs0832, yeah rm thats what i was talking about thx :D [18:23] bonjoyee: Hold on I'll try it [18:23] compdoc it is there but how do i make the system run it at startup [18:23] Dr_Willis thanks, will do [18:23] Dr_Willis: do you know how to change the flash screen using Plymouth? i did find a site that told me the sudo command to use but i don't know where to put the .jpg at [18:23] I need smoke, back in 5 [18:23] aimio, will reboot now.. do the ls and paste so i can check it in the mean time ok? [18:23] kmck: plymouth dosent use jpg' [18:23] Gunni, I think you need to make sure the file's permissions is set to execute [18:23] skullboy, maybe there isnt an update then [18:24] it just runs when you boot [18:24] compdoc isnt there some command to add a service to the auto start list ? [18:24] kmck: plymouth dosent use jpg's - it uses some complex animation system. there are alternative Plymouth themes.. but i dont bother with them [18:24] Dr_Willis: oh... shoot [18:24] Sorry Kmck for the failed info... [18:24] kmck, i think it uses pcx and png but i may be mistaken [18:24] kmck: messing with splash stuff more hassle then its worth to see somthing for 5 sec when the system boots in under 30 [18:25] Gunni, no, as long as its in the init.d folder, it'll run. I use a script to make vncserver a service w/ start/stop/etc [18:25] kmck, there is another way [18:25] Dr_Willis: yes i can understand your point and agree with you there [18:25] rs0832: how so?

[18:29] how do i properly disable pulseaudio and use alsa? [18:29] jchvelasco: what are u trying to do? run a livecd/usb? [18:29] TyrantElf: so, when you boot on hdmi what happent (try to hold shift on boot to see grub) [18:29] bonjoyee already tried both [18:29] clgshaft_: any time ive seen people try to disable pulse.. they end up breaking things more. [18:29] i tested the md5 has.. its the same [18:29] *hash [18:30] ok i guess i broke things [18:30] i need it disabled though [18:30] bonjoyee: Nope, it isn't working that right [18:30] guys, are there any other channels?

[18:32] Shchbaker, when I go into recovery mode, as soon as it finishes loading, the Hdmi output turn off. I can see it loading everything, grub, and the motherboard splash, but once it loads, the Hdmi goes out [18:32] hello. i accidentally did "sudo rm -rf /dev/* ". and lost all device nodes. Now i rsynced some other machines /dev nodes back, but obviously things like /dev/mapper and /dev/disks/ are lost. Anybody know how to create /dev/mapper and /dev/disks? is there a way to generate /dev/disks/by-id/ for example? [18:32] can anyone shed light on how to get MESA? (http://www.mesa3d.org/) [18:32] aimio, sure [18:33] Spoon37, you mean libglu1-mesa? [18:33] bonjoyee: DTA 1.1.10 [18:33] is there anyway to load an actual hard disk partition in virtualbox? [18:33] or other virtualization software? [18:33] bonjoyee: I don't know why its not updated [18:33] snake: yes there is.. and its Highly NOT reccomended. [18:33] rs0832, I'm honestly not sure, I'm trying to install HoN (a MOBA game) and I have intel gfx card that has known problems, but I was told MESA might be able to get it to work [18:33] snake, share it, then connect to it [18:34] sresu: the one im using is beta..u have to install it manually! [18:34] kimmok: would a reboot fix it? [18:34] Dr_Willis, why is it not reccomended? [18:34] TyrantElf: did you try to press Alt-Ctlr-F1 on after it goes blank? [18:34] snake, and the link to that "highly not recommended" instructions is http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk [18:34] ffs.. What do I need to install get Gnome to function correctly.. [18:34] None f my inwodws have.. "Titlebars" [18:34] snake: total loss of data on teh drive is one little possiblility... [18:34] rs0832, no there ist but when i try to install the new ver from deb i get this "Breaks existing package 'libjpeg62-dev' dependency libjpeg62 (= 6b-16.1) " [18:34] So I cant move them around [18:34] bonjoyee: How long you have been using it? [18:34] Spoon37, ah then libglu1-mesa is what you are looking for... it is in the repos (through synaptic package manager) under the name i mentioned [18:34] TyrantElf: other way press e in grub menu [18:34] Dr_Willis, oh well that's fantastic! :D [18:34] rs0832, thank you. [18:34] Slyboots: try running 'metacity --replace &' via terminal or alt-f2 [18:34] !gnome [18:34] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [18:35] I suppose I won't risk it. [18:35] Spoon37, good luck and yw :) [18:35] aimio, you had a question? [18:35] sresu: quite some time....since firefox beta 6 i guess! [18:35] snake, or iscsi, or add it as a block device if you need direct access to the drive [18:35] thanks, I'll be needing it >.< [18:35] rs0832, no there ist but when i try to install the new ver from deb i get this "Breaks existing package 'libjpeg62-dev' dependency libjpeg62 (= 6b-16.1) " [18:35] sresu: i mean firefox 4 beta 6! [18:35] Okay; my windows just vanished and reloaded.. [18:35] sacarlson: that's what i'm trying to find out before rebooting. I'm afraid that reboot will hang [18:35] http://pastebin.com/ExMAc11w [18:35] help [18:35] no change; still missing the titlebars [18:36] bonjoyee: oh.. Strange that mine didn't even touch ver 2. Does it used to work righ with queue manage in ver 1? [18:36] rs0832, 2 days ago i started to work on fixing my sound as there was a bug, i had sound in the built in speakers but not in the headphone jack, so i started to messing around with it and so i installed all kinds of "stuff", oss drivers, alsamixer, etc etc, the problem is now i have no sound at all :) " ps the fix that was stated for the computer i have, was add a line to alsa conf.. but it did [18:36] not work so thats why i started to mess around with it. so now my problem is "no sound" at all.. < my computer is a ideapad s10-3t lenovo netbook, running ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas?. [18:36] TyrantElf, how are you making out? [18:36] is there a big difference between 10.04 and 10.10? [18:36] TyrantElf: by the way, try to shche when you adress me, I do not have too many colors, so hard to find you. [18:36] Shchbaker, I g2g eat, I'll be back in a few minutes [18:36] skullboy, where did you get the deb from? [18:36] kimmok: as far as I can tell /dev is mounted to devtmpfs that is just a temp structure that will be recreated at boot, I could be wrong, but it can't hurt to try [18:37] sresu: never really noticed any issues with queuing.. [18:37] So.. metacity is installed but doesnt seem to be operating correctly [18:37] Slyboots: thats very weird.. can you open up a terminal? [18:37] tnttnt [18:37] bonjoyee: Okay, just delineate briefly about how you do it, again ... [18:38] sacarlson: ok. good to know [18:38] Slyboots: if so run 'metacity --replace' and look for any error messages when it crashed [18:38] Okay.. hold on [18:38] sacarlson: well, i'll backup and try. if i'm not here in ~5 mins, it means i couldn't reboot :-) [18:38] aimio, maybe you have broken the audio drivers.. try removing alsa and installing pulseaudio... [18:38] sacarlson: thanks [18:39] jchvelasco: well the biggest difference is 10.04 is LTS..while 10.10 is not! [18:39] rs0832, http://packages.debian.org/sid/libjpeg62 [18:39] rs0832, i went grazy on it i installed all kind of drivers alsa,oss,pulseaudio, and what not.. [18:39] No error messages outputting to terminal [18:39] But no titlebars either [18:40] skullboy, hmm then you may have to remove the older version and install the newer one... but ask on the channel if it will remove anything else because i am not sure if it will [18:40] how bout installing in wubi and not installing in wubi [18:40] Slyboots: that is very weird.. as a test you could make a new user. and see if the problem affects them also. [18:40] jchvelasco: avoide wubi if you can. [18:40] aimio, then try installing pulseaudio and remove alsa and oss [18:40] Slyboots: tried to chnage theme yet [18:40] bonjoyee: I mean what all settings you have made .... [18:40] Yup; changing theme cahges the colouring.. but no titlebars [18:40] rs0832, ok i shall try. [18:40] but im stuck with a problem in installing :( [18:40] Slyboots: you could also try 'compiz --replace' [18:41] jchvelasco, what is your actual question [18:41] Im running FreeNX; I dont have hardware accelreation [18:41] aimio, for a guide/howto, i suggest https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [18:41] i'm constantly getting this error 'unable to find a medium containing a live file system' [18:41] Slyboots: gtk-window-decorator? [18:41] jchvelasco, when? [18:42] skullboy, i have to go now so good luck with it [18:42] sresu: if possible try 2.0b5..and see if the error persists [18:42] aimio, i have to go now... if you still need help i will be back tomorrow.. good luck :) [18:42] jchvelasco, can you not boot into the wubi? [18:42] rs0832, well thx 4 the help [18:42] i've been trying to install ubuntu this week i just stopped yesterday [18:42] bonjoyee, will be back tomorrow, hopefully with a solution for you: ) [18:43] skullboy, :) y/w [18:43] I *dont* have hardware accelration [18:43] bonjoyee: Do you add new download keeping first running or paused? [18:43] It wont work in a FreeNX server anyway [18:43] ok so how do i remove libjpeg62 without loseing lots of other apps [18:43] jchvelasco, so you haven't installed your having problems and want a little help is this correct [18:43] using wubi i'm able to continue til the Log In but my mouse and keyboard are not working [18:43] yes sir [18:44] sresu: doesnt matter...it works either ways [18:44] but Dr. Willis said. avoid using wubi [18:44] Slyboots: could be some quirk/bug with freenx and how metacity is running. You could try installing some alternative windw manager like fluxbox and try running that. [18:44] quick question :) how do i name the output file when compiling a c program? [18:44] jchvelasco, so you get the win or Ubuntu menu you choose ubuntu and then no mouse or keyboard at the next menu [18:45] hmm no.. its when im on the user log in ubuntu [18:45] Hi, anyone know why my lm-sensors not detect my i7? [18:45] hello all [18:45] i guess wubi successfully installed ubuntu but mouse and keyboard are not working [18:46] bonjoyee: okay. The new download enters the Starting or waiting. As in does it starts even if first running? [18:46] jchvelasco, you don't have the autologin running then [18:46] /quit [18:46] bonjoyee: enters as starting .. * [18:46] sresu: when first is downloading..the second is waiting... [18:46] autologin? [18:47] bonjoyee: I think I'm making some mistkae in settings probably ... [18:47] berg_LNX: gcc -o myname myname.c i guess [18:47] but what if i have autologin.. still mouse and keyboard will not work [18:48] how do i know which audio device is being used? [18:48] jchvelasco, I have never used wubi, I assume that after the grub menu you either get in or you have to log in. In Ubuntu you can set to autologin [18:48] sresu: in 2.0b5..under preferences>advanced>misc>download start order is set to " fast - as queued" [18:48] bonjoyee: Secondly, does your downloads at times stop at 99%? [18:49] has anyone noticed that the weather applet is not updating since 30th, I have multiple machines and they are all showing the same last update [18:49] sresu: sometimes yes...they do become very slow at that point! [18:49] yeah lets say im already in.. my hardware are not working in wubi [18:49] bonjoyee: Okay, any other download manager you know? [18:50] Hi .. is possible to make a deb package which can compile a linux module ? [18:50] sresu: cli or gui? [18:50] i tried to install ubuntu from USB and cd but i keep getting 'unable to find a medium containing live file system' [18:50] jchvelasco, not sure why you are loosing the mouse, and keyboard, but theoretical situations are not addressing your problem [18:50] bonjoyee: GUI containg queue manager [18:51] kimmok: thanks :) got it working, simple as a -o [filename] option [18:51] my gnome got stuck again and ignored my left mouse button again!!! [18:51] i tried to install ubuntu from USB and cd but i keep getting 'unable to find a medium containing live file system' [18:51] ZeXx86: I beleave so since that's what it apears happens when I install virtualbox [18:51] Rigiht; going to purge adn remove Gnome [18:52] recon69_lap: I got that same issue, no idea why! [18:52] jchvelasco, have you ever gotten it installed and actually used it. [18:52] had to restart gnome to get going again, anyone interested in trying to find the bug before my logs go? [18:52] sresu: d4x / gwget are quite good..used them before switching to downthemall [18:52] sacarlson: do you have any howto, please ? [18:52] only in Virtualbox [18:52] sresu: i'd prefer d4x..it has more features [18:53] berg_LNX: had it a couple of times over the last year or so. bit worrying as it's a basic feature [18:53] jchvelasco, lets go to #ubuntu-beginners slower channel nobodies there posting [18:54] ok sir [18:54] hello [18:55] recon69_lap: Yeah I've had it for a long time myself, it only appears after I wake up the laptop (from a suspend). It's been gone for a long time now, but it's back once more. I have to kill "gnome-session" to restore it. Never found any reports on the problem... [18:55] what is the effect to make window transparen when mouse is rolled out from that window? [18:56] berg_LNX: think I'll go make a report :) [18:56] recon69_lap: Do it :) [18:56] ZeXx86: there are preinstall scripts and postinstall scripts that you can make do compile or whatever else you want http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/How-to-make-deb-packages/ [18:58] hu [18:58] does vlc for linux play bluray iso's ? [18:58] berg_LNX: already reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/673201 [18:59] ZeXx86: if you want to look at an example you should open the virtualbox deb file in an arkive manager and take a look at how they did it [18:59] how can i check what drivers i have installed for a selected hardware like, sound,video, etc.. [18:59] how can i make the window appear transparent on mouse rolled out? [19:00] the window is minimized when mouse is rolled out. I just want to make transparent [19:00] recon69_lap: Ah... I'll follow that one then :) [19:00] i think it's some compiz effect [19:01] Cromag: you could probably mount it as a disk, and get vlc to play it.. [19:01] pzr11hdik56: why don't you ask in #compiz [19:01] pzr11hdik56: #compiz [19:02] !gnome [19:02] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [19:02] considering compiz has approximately 84 gazillion options, you'll probably get better help there [19:02] oks [19:02] and one more thing.. [19:02] What do I need for a "basic" gnome enviroment? [19:03] KM0201: is that all? I thought it was 84 gogoplexzillion [19:03] Slyboots: install the desktop version of ubuntu [19:03] GeekSquid: maybe i was off by a couple 100 trillion, i dunno.. :) [19:03] GeekSquid: thats not a basic version of Gnome [19:03] Thats a entire Gnome eniroemtn and a ton of other crap I dont need [19:04] !info d4x lucid [19:04] d4x (source: d4x): graphical download manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.7.1-7 (lucid), package size 711 kB, installed size 2028 kB [19:04] Slyboots: i think you can install ubuntu-desktop and that will give you what you want. [19:04] !info d4x [19:04] ... I *dont* want the entire Gnome enviroemnt [19:04] Just the UI [19:04] Package d4x does not exist in maverick [19:04] And Xorg [19:04] I dont even have a monitor on this thing [19:04] then why on earth ar eyou concerned about a UI? [19:05] Because need to use FreeNX to run a fe windows applcations in Wine [19:05] And FreeNX *demands* that I instlal Gnome [19:05] MY Update manager doenst work. ubuntu 10.10 [19:05] Hi, does anyone know how to install ubuntu with SW raid if I would like to have multiple partitions on md device? I couldno make it with alternate installer. It creates allows only a md device creation with no partition. [19:05] vsilverlord: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal [19:05] hi all [19:06] hamed, hello [19:06] dougl: hi [19:06] Slyboots, i use the gnome-desktop-environment package on my minimal installs (still probably a lot more then you want though) [19:07] bye :( [19:07] Mm [19:07] Slyboots: I am a little confused, what are you trying to do, run wine apps on a headless machine via FreeNX? [19:07] Via VNC [19:08] the server runs 24/7 so I run other applctions on it.. [19:08] really dumb question - I'm trying to install slax on a usb, and the website's instructions say to run a shell script - how do I do that on the consol [19:08] Steam requires XRender; so i need to use FreeNX for it to work correctly [19:08] shchbak, is there any way you can hhelp me with this? [19:08] I've navlgated to the disk and the folder in boot already as mentioned here, I just don't know the console command [19:09] ok so how do i remove libjpeg62 without loseing lots of other apps [19:09] Slyboots: really, Headless, remotly accessed, steam, wine, .... The graphics will never render fast enough for you to be playing games over VNC [19:09] i am migrating from a windows platform. i used an application called newsleecher; is there something like newsleecher for ubuntu? i'd prefer not to use WINE. [19:10] Never said anything about playing games on it [19:10] A lot of Steam games are *very* big; so its helpful to have it download them overnight without the need for extra devices to be turned on [19:10] ok so how do i remove libjpeg62 without loseing lots of other apps [19:10] capti: I'm tested a raid install with virtualbox with the alternate install disk and went quite smothly, what is an md device, sorry my terminoligy not very good [19:10] skullboy: dunno, but it seems to want to remove everything GUI related [19:10] kcorcoran: Depends.. Do you want actual text access or just binaries? [19:10] alguien de chile [19:10] Im pretty sure newsleacher is binary only anyway.. [19:11] skullboy: why are you concerned w/ that? [19:11] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I can't get nfs mount on startup [19:11] !fstab | NoNaMeNo [19:11] NoNaMeNo: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:11] Slyboots: not sure how to answer that correctly. I would use download NZB files and then allow newsleecher to work its magic. Not sure that answers your question? [19:11] Is there anyone here who is good with graphics and xorg that can chat with me? [19:11] kcorcoran: Then you only want binary access [19:12] Install SabnzbdPlus [19:12] GeekSquid: after my system started, if I login and then mount -a, everything mounts === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [19:12] Its far.. *far* better than newsleacher in so many ways its not even funny [19:12] TyrantElf: you gotta ask a more specific question.. that's pretty generic [19:12] sacarlson: I would like to have one big md array of RAID5 with multiple partitions like a separate one for home. [19:12] Slyboots: will take a look. Thank you!! [19:12] NoNaMeNo: you could set mount -a to run o boot up? [19:12] Okay, is there anyone here who can help me get hdmi output from a radeon HD 4670 working? [19:13] KM0201, cause i need to remove it to install a newer ver [19:13] NoNaMeNo: take a look at /etc/mtab ... will show what is mounted then write /etc/fstab to mount the share upon boot ... see the links above [19:13] Its sabnzbdPLUS; not sabnzbd [19:13] skullboy: hmm, sounds entertaining [19:13] Sabnzbd hasnt been updated in years [19:13] is there a way of coping all the folders from one place to another but now the files within them ? [19:13] TyrantElf: do you have the restricted driver installed ? what version of ubuntu? [19:14] is there a particular installation media i should choose to put ubuntu on an old laptop to use as a headless nas/etc? [19:14] i need help my sound is completly dead. [19:14] my fstab is written with the nfs mounts, but they don't get mounted when I boot the system, I have to manually trigger the mount with mount -a [19:14] chrometiger: yews [19:14] capti: raid5 I would have to look that up, I played with raid1 [19:14] server edition or desktop? [19:14] itaylor57: how exactly [19:14] GeekSquid, I am using open source drivers and using ubutu 10.04 Lucid. [19:14] i think i broke my drivers, how do i reverse it :S ?

It may have carried to Maveric .. check it out here.. there might be a solution listed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543021 [19:15] skullboy: sorry.. none [19:15] sacarlson: basic install worked for me with RAID five, just everything was under / and could not make home on separate partition under the same md device. [19:15] TyrantElf: reccommend the closed-source drivers, it includes the utility provided by ATI which will allow you to use the HDMI out [19:15] Slyboots: just installed sabnzbplus (via synaptic). not sure how/where to launch. nothing appeared in the applications. is it strictly coomand line? [19:16] is there a way of coping all the folders from one place to another but now the files within them ? [19:16] how do i convert films to 1080p with ubuntu ?? [19:16] I'll try.... [19:16] no;ITs a web-based UI [19:16] kcorcoran: sabnzbplus is a service with a web ui [19:17] Seriouslyl just google SZabnzbd and there is LOTS of documentation [19:17] Hello all. [19:17] yo_rmn: please ask your question in the spanish channel #ubuntu-es ... I cannot read your errors [19:17] thatas a best place to start [19:17] anyone? What command do I use in terminal to run a shell script? [19:17] Happy new year to all Ubuntu lovers [19:17] dragonkeeper, upconverting is pointless, it just wastes space and/or lowers the video quality... the resolution it was shot in is as good as it is going to get [19:17] psykatog: ./script.sh [19:17] GeekSquid, I notice too late, Ill' translate for you [19:17] GeekSquid, When I installed the proprietary driver, I couln't run blender or assualt cube for some reason, so I uninstalled it. I'll try again though. [19:17] <_DeZ_> hello! [19:18] capti: well that's like saying you want to put another partition inside a partition since that's what a raid becomes, I think you can create partition before you group them and keep one or more partitions a a disk that are not a part of the raid [19:18] i didn't know anyone still played assaultcube [19:19] goetter: how do i launch the ui? [19:19] TyrantElf: assaultcube has been superceeded by sauerbraten ... better game anyway [19:19] GeelSquid: just wondering, do you know if the catalyst control center has overclocking? [19:19] sacarlson: What I like is to have multiple partitions under an md device. with gparted I played around with partitioning. It worked. Just installer could not see the partitions under md. [19:19] kcorcoran: Read the documentation [19:20] This is really all explained === xumuk_ is now known as XuMuK [19:20] so is the ubuntu server edition what i would want for an old headless laptop NAS? [19:20] goetter: ... laptop.. nas? [19:20] capti: my simulation has 3 disk in one md, is that what you mean? [19:21] but.. um.. yea you would want the server edition for that [19:21] doudou same for you! :D [19:21] :) [19:21] i'd buy a nas but free is pretty cheap [19:21] psusi how do they convert films that once was on vhs to hd then ... [19:21] I need an advice from a Ubuntu geek. anyone ? [19:21] TyrantElf: very unlikely, you might be able to do it with the command line, but that is way beyond the scope of this channel [19:21] will do, however i mentioned i am migrating from a windows (point/click) OS - still learning Ubuntu, and not trying to learn anything too complex. do not want to become discouraged. let me ask this, is sabnzbplus easy to use like newsleecher or more complex? please look at this from the perspective of someone new to linux. [19:22] capti: I'm not sure about raid5 but you can select any number of partition into any single raid [19:22] dragonkeeper, they don't... they go get the original film and scan it in hd [19:22] I'm desperately looking for someone to help me fix my 3g connection... with network manager i can't connect (tries for some minutes and then gives up) - wvdial returns "No Carrier!"... i don't know what to do... [19:22] GeekSquid, Dialog inteface could not be updated - ot wil not work in a dumb? terminal - emac interpreter buffer or without a controller(ing?) terminal plz no answer in any spanish channel [19:22] is there a way of coping all the folder structure from one place to another but not the files within them ? [19:22] KM0201: GeekSquid , its a bug, solved with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329355 [19:23] newsleecher is probably more intuitive [19:23] I was able to see workgroup and after a ubuntu updarte I can not longer see the other windows pcs. can someone advice, please [19:23] appreciate the insight...will dig in a little deeper. fingers crossed [19:23] I've switched my system locale to nl_nl but nautilus is stil half english [19:23] sacarlson: I have 3 phy disks. and I want all my system in raid5, just have separate partition for home. I did not want multiple mds since the resizing does not really work afterwards. But if i could have multiple partitions under a single big md device, then I could resize them easily with gparted. I personally tried resizing md partitions. Incerasing works ok, but decreasing will not gain the space back [19:24] in what package is glxgears?

Does nm-applet only let me connect to one VPN at a time? What's going on here?? [19:33] capti: I sounds like you can break your 3 disk into 6 partitions and use 3 for your raid 5 and the other 3 for a raid 1, since I also note you can't boot from a raid 5 [19:34] so guys? any linux player here? [19:34] sacarlson: some says :"You cannot boot from raid5 array with lilo or grub." This is not true. It worked fine with raid5 with ubuntu 10.10 alternate installer and booted fine [19:34] sacarlson, you actually can boot from a raid5 these days [19:34] psusi: ok the article must be old [19:35] I need help with my Ubunut 10.10 language setting. I accidently changed the language to Russain, and when I (with some help from a russian friend) changed it back to english again, half the system remained in russian! some googling led me to the base-config command, but it seems that command was removed..

[19:36] How can I make all of the combinations of all 26 letters plus 0-9 in Bash? I know I can do {A..Z} for the letters and {0..9} for the numbers, but how can I do them both in the same digit place?

I must say that shrinking did not work ever. This is why i tried making partitions under an md. It worked in trial just cannot install the system this way. [19:37] anyone here use 10.10 for net book?

I basically wanted to make a file with all of the possible combinations each on a new line. [19:38] Rypervenche: your question is strange, please describe what you are trying to do (same digit place???) [19:39] right click doesn't seem to work, which makes it difficult for a linux beginner to do simple tasks.. [19:39] also, can't seem to drag-and-drop [19:39] capti: how do you make a partition under md? [19:39] bioctoplasterio: what model laptop?

[19:40] <_DeZ_> ðåïåðîê òóò??? [19:40] GeekSquid: For example, I'd like to make a text file with all of the possible combinations of A through Z and 0 through 9 in each digit.

[19:41] i am so new to ubuntu and i cannot get things to work, I really do not know how to install these packages that i download [19:41] GeekSquid, untrue, the mac users can do it as can the windows users [19:41] bioctoplasterio, so where are you dragging and dropping to? [19:41] capti: and size? you can make the raid any size you want, you don't need to use the entire disk, I guess you can keep a none raid partition also available [19:41] GeekSquid: Just like [A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9] but I can't echo it into a file like that. [19:41] Rypervenche: something like {{a..z},{0..9}} [19:41] bioctoplasterio, from and to? [19:42] <_DeZ_> ðåïåðîê òóò? [19:42] quiescens: That's the one :D Thank you.

Device-create part. table, then create as many ext4 whatever i want. and resize with data easily [19:42] from Documents to Trash [19:42] Rypervenche: you could pipe as opposed to echo ... echo is for the screen, where | can go to a file [19:42] GeekSquid, i can connect to the work VPN, and at physical work, i can connect to the datacenter VPN. but i don't even have the ////option//// of selecting the datacenter VPN when connected to the work VPN. the datacenter VPN is ///greyed out/// in nm-applet [19:42] hello [19:42] <_DeZ_> ðåïåðîê òóò?

[19:43] GeekSquid: Oh I see. Would it be too much trouble to ask exactly how I could do that? Having each number on a new line. [19:43] sacarlson: inside. within or under [19:44] capti: the ext4 is outside the raid it's just on the same disk [19:44] has actual left/right click buttons and a touch pad. [19:44] How will Ubuntu run on Core 2 Quad 64bit, 6gig ddr3 and an older 7800gtx video card?

[19:44] sacarlson: no it is inside md0. e.g it is called md0p1, md0p2 etc [19:44] @nit-wit, sorry for a noob question, but what does "use the tab complete to ping:? [19:45] er, what does that mean?

[19:45] capti: well if it's just an install problem just setup the install first and keep the needed number of partitions or free space left to change after install [19:45] Hello. I am connected to my work VPN using nm-applet. Now, I want to connect to the datacenter VPN, which can only be done from within the work VPN. nm-applet won't let me try to connect to it, the VPN is greyed out.

Thank You! only problem is that when I bring up blender, it is all static inside the window, do you know any fix? [19:46] capti: ok I'll set one up in another virtualbox and try it [19:46] bioctoplasterio, you type the nick first coople of letter then hit tab [19:47] sacarlson: it would be nice, but installer leaves the md0 looking as unpartitioned. As I see from gparted. the whenever i select: create partition table. guess if the installed system will be seen or not... ;-) [19:47] rof [19:47] TyrantElf: now take that question to #blender, like a good little ubuntu elf [19:47] sacarlson: trap of22 [19:47] nit-wit, ha, that's nice..

[19:48] bi09?6zC97/@<+( [19:48] bioctoplasterio: no [19:48] ccvp: please don't repeat, your question was answered ... that system should run great [19:48] bioctoplasterio: re-install, I'm afraid [19:48] capti: so what type of partition or raid should I setup as my root partition? [19:48] nit-wit, little leet [19:49] ok, one more question... how do you share specific folders in 10.10 netbook? [19:49] If i am going to make this 7800gtx Q9300 system [19:49] be a media server type system, is western digital caviar Green sufficient? [19:49] no need for WD Cav black?

I could not make partition md0p1 within md0 from installer [19:50] what are the blacks for? [19:50] capti: what do we really want one raid5 one raid1 and one ext4? [19:50] high access servers, and gaming? [19:50] bioctoplasterio: you can go to your accessibility settings and set up simulated right click (by holding down left button) -FYI [19:50] interesting... [19:50] yes an md is just like a partition you can't use 1/2 of sda1 [19:50] thanks yeats [19:50] bioctoplasterio: thats cuz netbook sucks [19:50] lol [19:50] hi guys [19:51] happy new year 4 al [19:51] ccvp: essentially the same drive, only better at bursting when traffic is high, However the OS isn't fast enough to take advantage of it, nor is the FSB [19:51] wolf23: u 2.. :) [19:51] bioctoplasterio: that issue for my HP shouldn't be the same for yours... if you have actual buttons, they should work - you might want to do some Google/Ubuntu Forums searching [19:51] KM0201, :) [19:51] sacarlson: what i like to have is: one md0 with 3 phy disks. md0p1 for root md0p2 for home md0p3 for pictures etc. md0p1..md0pN with EXT4 FS [19:52] anyone help me how to open jpg.rem files on ubuntu?

[20:38] bullgard4, and you have already tried to finishe the prior move with no success? [20:39] cozziemoto: Yes. [20:39] what does it mean when i don't have a sound card in the sound preferences->hardware. but i have all the drivers and so on set. what is there more to do :S [20:39] bullgard4, mm was the prior move to an external drive maybe? [20:40] GeekSquid, that's all HAL related though.. isn't hal depreciated? [20:40] cozziemoto: From an audio CD to an external USB drive. [20:40] Gartral: isn't init depricated in your case? [20:40] hi. does anbody knows how can i edit the shutdown menu in gnome 2.32.0? i would like to add one other choice "restart to windows" which will start script to restart the computer [20:40] bullgard4, is the external usb driver plugged in when the you try to finish the prior move?

( how do i fix this ) ?????????????? [20:44] shcherbak: i dont thinks so... couse i would like to press the button and go to a toillette and not to wait :D [20:44] Gartral: /etc/hal/fdi/policy exists, and you should be able to write that( or similar ) into that folder ... Most of hal is depricated... and until some dev gets done this may be the only way to do what you want [20:44] when I try apt-get install anything, linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic tries to install itself but fails. how can I get rid of this behaviour?

After Maverick stuck I looked what files were already copied completely. Then I usually copied the unfinished first file that was not completely copied. And I was always successful. Then I tried to copy the rest files using drag-and-drop. Usually I was successful but the copy dialog reminded me that there was allegedly at least one unfinished copy process.

I cant find any reference to this issue [20:48] Gartral: yes, but copy it into one line with a couple of ## between them [20:48] Random75: and you want to minimize it? [20:48] Random75: Alt-Space [20:48] bullgard4, if no one can help here scoot over to the ##linux channel or even #gnome here on freenode or #gnome on gimpnet server [20:49] GeekSquid, can that happen when drivers fail or is that beacuse of something else ? beacuse it was working before but i did something to mess it up :S [20:49] Can't access shared memory area.

[20:50] GeekSquid, keep in mind too, that because of the nature of the chrome kernel, I'm FORCED too use that kernel, and not the ubuntu standard [20:50] cozziemoto: I do not know the word "to scoot over". Why is the #linux channel any better suited? My experiences withe the #gnome channel ion gimpnet are discouraging. [20:50] GeekSquid, same error [20:50] so i go to run the command " sudo service ssh status " and i get back that ssh is " unrecognized service " however im sure ssh is on my computer bc im using github .. any idea why its not liking this ssh command? [20:51] bullgard4, scoot means to move to .... ##linux should be much better [20:51] delinquentme: how about sshd [20:51] delinquentme: sudo netstat -tulp [20:51] sshd same thing [20:52] Gartral: I caught that, seems like a kernel mismatch, in the way that ubuntu/chrome handles things... you may need to recompile some things under the chrome kernel.. and is really beyond my scope of knowledge [20:52] shcherbak, http://pastie.org/1421940 [20:53] GeekSquid, thats a hassel.. this machine only has a 16 gb ssd.. 6 of that is currently used for ubuntu === roaming is now known as INFURNO_ [20:53] no ssh [20:53] i will give $60 to the person who helps me fix my sound problem.. [20:53] delinquentme: ^^ [20:53] aimio: I'd reccomend running lsmod in your current OS and then doing the same thing under the Live disk to see if anything is missing from your config, cause it worked under the live disk, right? [20:54] Okay; I've tried stripping out Gnome.. [20:54] But its still showing up in a broken form in vnc [20:54] Things like the background.. and the file manager and icon [20:54] shcherbak, does that mean its not running as a process? and i need to start it up? [20:54] So.. metacity? how to I remove that [20:55] cozziemoto: Thank you very much for your sympathetic comments. [20:55] sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:55] delinquentme: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:55] GeekSquid, nah it was working sort of last night " the built in speakers where working, but not when plugged in the headphone jack, then i started to mess with the drivers, i installed oss,pulseaudio,alsa, and what not.. then when i made a reboot, the sound was completly gone. [20:55] GeekSquid, there's a syntp driver that's in the chrome drivers, unfortuently, it's not a free object, and i dont know how to force load it without documentation [20:57] shcherbak, should i have a shh file in that dir? ubuntu 10.04? [20:57] Gartral: seems like google is taking a Apple/Darwin/IOS locked down approach to their OS, and test hardware, which means that technically your arn't running ubuntu, as the kernel is ChromeOS.... Another thought, do you still have a Complete chrome file system, perhaps you can load that syntp.so (guess) into the appropriate /var/lib and load it with modprobe [20:59] how do multiple desktops work on duel monitors? [20:59] actually i got it shcherbak [20:59] thanks! [20:59] wolfrix just use workspaces [20:59] Okay; Ayone have *any* idea how the hell you get "Xrender" working in a VNCserver [20:59] Thats all I need.. Xrender [21:00] ;/ [21:00] f10d0r: same thing [21:00] aimio: loose oss and pulse, stick with the alsa, alsamixer is what you would use to switch to the headphone port (probably as sudo) [21:01] GeekSquid, the problem is i'm not sure how i can completely delete oss, and pulse drivers from my system.. [21:01] ::S [21:01] Is there a way to set the sensitivity and acceleration of my mouse separately from my touch pad? [21:01] aimio: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename [21:01] aibolit, sudo apt-get purge oss pulseaudio [21:02] Do duel monitors have to be treated like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GeMiWucx6w (as one big workspace) or can you have a seperate workspace per monitor [21:02] aimio, , sudo apt-get purge oss pulseaudio [21:02] oh lol i did knew that command :S [21:02] thanks anyway for reminding me.

What? [21:05] Hello, how can I install the latest Qt binaries? [21:05] wolfric, I tried that. I mean, a set up a 60GB partition. I tried using disk analazyer but it shows / as full, but it does not specify where [21:05] GeekSquid: the HD was used on another box, but for what it was doing (simply a firesharing server), I figured I'd just move it. [21:05] System_Default_0, 10.4 [21:06] Ziber: does it show up in /media .. perhaps a mount -a to get starteed [21:06] System_Default_0, sorry my bad, 10.10 [21:06] only thing is /media is cdrom and cdrom0 [21:06] sucssi: Do you installed it from a Live CD? Or an USB? [21:06] System_Default_0, from a live CD [21:07] sucssi: you didn't run it with flag -h [21:07] czesc [21:08] lol now even my sound icon in the tray is gone :S it seems like i just make it worse everytime :P [21:08] sucssi: seems like you did 6 gigs instead of 60 ... boot to live disk, use gparted to resize the partition to 60 [21:08] aimio: which distro [21:08] <_dev_null_> sucssi: "find / -xdev -size +100000c" [21:08] sucssi: anwyay, you have 6 gigs for /, not 60 [21:08] sucssi: Well, you can use Gparted for checking partitions properties. Or you can use the [21:08] Palimpsest Disk Utility. [21:08] oh crap [21:08] my bad [21:08] would open office be the best office suite on ubuntu?

[21:12] I don't like to use a terminal based one [21:12] ta guntbert [21:12] aimio: you download the 10.10 iso from the website, use the startup usb creator to put i on hte flash drive, then copy your old files to a directory on that flash drive, then you restart, boot from usb, and install [21:12] Gerritjan: what language do you want to program in? [21:12] C++ [21:12] Gerritjan: try them, use what you like :-) [21:12] GeekSquid: Actually, the CMS was what I was trying to do, but now the problem is with the system when i changed /var owner to my local user which was previously root. It throwed ICEAuthority error at logon everytime. [21:12] Gerritjan: I'd try Anjuta, it has a graphical interface designer also. [21:12] damagednoob: Read the associated package desriptions one after the other. You can narrow down by selecting certain application categories. [21:12] magicianlord, i shall try [21:12] Gerritjan, there's Qt and Gtk frameworks [21:12] HAPPY NEW YEAR! [21:13] Is Qt a good idea for gnome applications? [21:13] ShootEmUp: Same to you! [21:13] Does anyone; have *nay* idea.. how you enable "Xrender" over a vnc4server session [21:13] Gerritjan: No, GNOME uses Gtk+. [21:13] h-dee: you screwed up your var directory by setting it to user... this is not easily fixable, I'd reccommend reinstalling [21:13] Gerritjan: in my opinion, the *easiest* way to get started is Qt Creator. it has a lot of good code examples built right in. the other gui option is gtk (which is installed by default) [21:13] So, no-one getting blurry fonts in Chromium. [21:13] I've been looking into this for nearly 5 days and Im no closer to figuring uot how to enable it [21:13] yes [21:14] Are there also tutorials for GTK? [21:14] If yes, can you pass me a link? :) [21:14] Slyboots: what is xrender= [21:14] And further, is it compatible with C++? [21:14] GeekSquid: Would reinstalling means I need to reinstall all those apps again? Or is there something like 'Repair Windows' in Linux too (Windows background) [21:14] magicianlord: ... a video render method? [21:14] I've nof reaking idea [21:14] Gerritjan: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/2.90/ [21:14] Thank you [21:14] Can someone help me running docky? this is the error it gives: http://pastie.org/1421933 and I have dbus running [21:14] Just keep getting an error "Cant do Alphabeld without XRender [21:14] Hi all! How do I merge to files side by side: eg file1line1file2line1\nfile1line2file2line2 etc? [21:15] Gerritjan: There are bindings for Gtk+ to C++ -- gtkmm [21:15] hello i have a problem [21:15] Gtkmm, and is that also installed by default at Linux? [21:15] dsnyders: paste -d ' ' file1 file2 [21:15] Ubuntu* [21:16] Gerritjan: no. all of the documentation for gtk is at www.gtk.org [21:16] Ok [21:16] h-dee: start from scratch, you could create a package list from Synaptic and backup /var/cache/apt/archives to reinstall your apps so you don't have to dl them again [21:17] Hey, I can transfer or view a bit of video from my USB camcorder but in less than a minute everything halts [21:17] And where can I find documentation for GTKMM? [21:17] Gerritjan: even if ther are not, you can easily install them. [21:17] !clone | h-dee [21:17] h-dee: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:17] Gerritjan: http://www.gtkmm.org/en/ [21:18] Ok, then I'll start reading there [21:18] Thanks for the help [21:18] :P [21:18] GeekSquid: Seems like heck of a work. By the way, I was wondering if I somehow check for ubuntu installation on another system to check for file/directory owners of contents in /var/, and change accordingly...would it work?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:19] geirha, what's the -d ' ' for? [21:19] Gerritjan: np. just take your time with it, there is a pretty steep learning curve with using the linux dev tools. the gtk-app-devel-list is a really good one to join and there are many people in #programming that are willing to help [21:19] h-dee: that would take longer than reinstalling in my opinion as there are alot of things in /var that have alot of different, user and group permissions [21:20] Ok [21:20] hi installed freenx in lucid want to contol same open session to help user .my old man. not new other session . what ways to accomplish remote assistance [21:20] Gerritjan: also if you are going to be using gtk you are going to want to google for: glade interface designer [21:20] GeekSquid: I see. Anyways, thanks for your help. I appreciate it. If nothing works out, I'm gonna do that only. Have Fun. Happy New year. :-) [21:20] I'm not familair with Linux, can I install it with packet manager?

Select CD-ROM Boot Type: The EFI Bootup will give me a kernel error after choosing try Ubuntu before installing. The Kernel error hints towards the filesystem not being readable. [21:34] is it worthwhilte to set noatime on /boot ext in fstab? [21:34] shcherbak: This looks same. I think its the subdirectories problem. What I think is...when I chowned /var and subdirectories to my local user, there might be some files with local user permissions, and when I chowned back all to root again, they might have changed to belong to root, which might be a cause [21:34] Okay, so I am a TOTAL n00b. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my USB, so I loaded my USB and it say Ubuntu and loaded. Then the window popped up saying Trial Ubuntu or Install It. So I press "Trial" or whatever, but then it just had the loading circle. So I wait, and I wait, and it never stops loading. So then I click the window and it says it's not responding. What is wrong?

It works all the way until it freezes up when I click one of the options. Meaning that I see the Ubuntu logo loading and all.

[21:39] ilovefairuz; I answered your question, have any idea what's wrong. [21:39] So I can come back and connect to it later [21:39] dsnyders: use sudo mv oldfilename newfilename to do it with out changing permissions [21:39] *? [21:40] dsnyders: chmod does not rename files [21:40] dsnyders: x and w on the directory not the file itself [21:40] ilovefairuz: yes i am it is the only way i can [21:40] otterpat, seen that before... sadly. sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source (with cable connected) [21:40] bustedup277: try unetbootin [21:40] unetbootin = ? [21:40] bustedup277, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:40] bustedup277: sudo apt-get install unetbootin .. and then run it [21:40] nothingspecial, chmod may not rename files, but it certainly can prevent them from being renamed [21:41] !screen | Slyboots [21:41] !unetbootin | bustedup277 [21:41] Slyboots: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[21:44] Hello... I am having some trouble with PHP on ubuntu. It may be an apache configuration issue. When I try to run a php script, it waits a long time and then says "timeout waiting for output from cgi script". I think it doesn't know how to execute it. [21:44] I have php5-cgi installed but not libapache2-mod-php5. When I apt-get install -s libapache2-mod-php5, it says it is oging to attempt to uninstall my mpm-worker and replace it with mpm-prefork, which is not what i want. [21:45] mongy ok reboot? [21:45] otterpat, no need to.. [21:45] bleah6: do you get that while trying to install or after installation finished? [21:46] nothingspecial, I'm simply getting a permission denied when trying to rename a file. I wasn't sure if I needed to change x or w. [21:46] before ... [21:46] dsnyders: chmod u+w . [21:46] bleah6: try redoing the usb disk, use unetbootin [21:46] I'm in the cli and I'm looking at xorg.conf. I need to change the video driver to "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" because X will not start as it is with my old geforce fx5500 card. I see the "device" section in xorg.conf. Right now the driver is "nvidia". Is this what I need to change? [21:47] thats what i used ilovefairuz [21:47] Basically what is the difference between the php5-cgi and libapache2-mod-php5 ubuntu packages, and how does one configure the php5-cgi package? [21:47] it says no init found and ash shell opens [21:47] mongy additional drivers is grayed out [21:47] anything i can do from there ? [21:47] dsnyders: which file, where, are you sure? [21:48] bleah6: looks the files were corrupt, format it and do it again [21:48] otterpat, reboot or login/out if you think you need to. lsmod | grep wl [21:48] ilovefairuz; It has finished installing, I will try it this time and see if it works. [21:48] brb [21:48] logout/in i mean lol [21:48] foolhardy: assuming that you have the nividia binary driver installed, that should be the correct entry [21:48] mongy ok [21:49] foolhardy: i run a 6800, and my "device" is set to "nvidia" just like yours [21:49] mcc: mod-php5 is an apache module that adds PHP support, php5-cgi is a "CGI binary" that could be used with any server supporting CGI (apache and others) [21:49] hmmm. Right now X won't start and even in the cli the screen keeps blacking out every 10 seconds [21:49] mcc: check /etc/php5 [21:50] ilove: ok, cool. and i found this which is helping: http://www.bobulous.org.uk/coding/apache-php-cgi.html however now I am having a different problem [21:50] foolhardy: it may be that the nvidia driver isn't properly installed or the kernel module isn't loaded. what does lsmod | grep nvidia return? [21:50] it is strange because I can do a regular ubuntu desktop install and everything works correctly, and it uses "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)" driver. But with a minimal no-gui install X won't start [21:50] This and one other guide i saw said to add AddHandler and Action lines to my httpd conf. I did so, however, then I got the error: "Invalid command 'Action', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" [21:51] i just did lsmod, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for [21:51] I did this inside of a directive. any idea what I might have done wrong there? [21:51] nothingspecial, the file is in my ~/Downloads and has -rw-r--r-- permissions. I could easily do a chmod 777 and be done with it, but I was in a "do things properly" kind of mood today. [21:51] dsnyders: I always found this useful http://linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php [21:51] mcc: what are you trying to accomplish? you don't need to configure PHP manually to make it work with apache, the packages do this by default [21:51] foolhardy: the minimal does not have a GUI , sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to install the GUI [21:52] GeekSquid, I do not want the gui. I only need minimal install for xbmc to run [21:52] mcc: and use mod-php5 if you're using apache [21:52] I'm using "xbmclive" [21:52] ilovefairuz: i need it to work. if the packages are supposed to make it work by default then something went wrong. [21:52] !lamp | mcc [21:52] mcc: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [21:52] when i try to open a PHP script it downloads instead of running. the reason i cannot use the php5 module is that if i try that, it will uninstall mpm-worker and replace it with mpm-prefork [21:52] foolhardy: lsmod shows loaded kernel modules; using | grep nvidia will pipe the listing of modules through grep to find words matching nvidia. if lsmod | grep nvidia tuturns anything, then the nvidia kernel module is loaded. however, like GeekSquid said, if you have no gui (no Xorg) then X will not load. [21:53] and i have a need to use mpm-worker due to limited system resources [21:53] d9500, it did not return anything [21:53] *returns [21:53] mcc: and how does that impair your application ? [21:53] just cursor blinking [21:53] dsnyders: In your own /home do what you like ;) That is properly. [21:53] not evenr eturned to prompt [21:53] foolhardy: then the kernel module is not loaded. [21:53] foolhardy: there is a #xbmc channel, for help with xbmc [21:53] it's a little bit complicated-- i have a limited amount of RAM (this is a xen instance) and there is a particular script running on this machine which is hit very heavily [21:53] i mean, this is why i need mpm-worker [21:54] user@host:/# sudo a2enmod php5 [21:54] user@host:/# /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload [21:54] foolhardy: how did you install the driver if you have no gui? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-VERSION? [21:54] because i need to be able to limit the live number of processes [21:54] foolhardy: yes [21:54] current drivers are installed automatically with xbmc live but I require legacy [21:54] mcc: if you're trying to conserve memory, then apache is certainly not for you, use lighttpd for an easy-to-configure lightweight web server that supports PHP too [21:55] foolhardy: no gui means that you wouldn't need the nvidia driver, as the cli displays fine on nvidia cards and doesn't need graphical support [21:55] To recap: I am trying to use the php5-cgi package instead of the one that installs a module, but am having trouble clarifying to apache that it needs to use the php5-cgi app. ... actually wait i guess i could do that with a hash-bang. one minute [21:55] i can get assistance in xbmc-linux channel I just thought this was an ubuntu issue, since xbmc won't even load [21:56] ilovefairuz: this sounds like an extremely attractive option, however, i'm a little short on time this afternoon and that sounds like it would take awhile to get running [21:56] * mcc tries addhandler cgi and modifying his scripts to use a hashbang [21:56] mcc: not at all, you would only have to install a couple of packages and uncomment some lines in the config [21:56] but I am getting "(EE) No drivers available" when startx [21:57] mcc: you would be surprised [21:57] foolhardy: unless xbmc can somehow run straight against a console framebuffer, then you'd need a gui (that is, X server and its associated software) to run it at all. I don't follow xbmc development, but i'm guessing it still requires X. [21:57] ilovefairuz: well, the problem is I have some somewhat elaborate apache configuration as it stands involving multiple virtual hosts, mod_perl etc. So I'd have to recreate all that in lighty. [21:57] d9500, it does use x [21:57] but x won't start [21:57] hi [21:58] mcc: i see [21:58] therein is my conundrum [21:58] Flash crashes in Firefox whenever I attempt to enter fullscreen mode, either in Facebook games or on YouTube. I read somewhere that I should swithc off hardware acceleration for the Flashplayer but I cannot find any menu where this is an option. Any suggestions? [21:58] it is probable i am trying to do too much with this box at once. [21:58] foolhardy: i thought you did a minimal (no gui) install? did you install X after that manually, then? [21:58] where do you find the settings to enable headphones in 10.10 desktop? when i plug in my headphones nothing works besides the internal laptop speakers [21:58] (EE) Failed to load module"nvidia" [21:58] meco: install non-free flash plugin :) [21:58] nothingspecial, I just didn't know whether x or w controlled renaming a file. Turns out the x on the renaming script file was missing. [21:59] dsnyders: just +x will let ou exceute it [21:59] I used xbmc live to install. it installs x, just with no desktop environment [21:59] mongy did not work [21:59] normally boots straight into xbmc, but since x won't start, it doesn't [21:59] hellnest: Is that compatible with Flash 10.1? [21:59] otterpat, network manager not picked up any stations? [21:59] meco: perhaps you mean compositing? system > preferences > desktop effects [21:59] lsmod | grep wl what does that bring back. [22:00] hellnest: meco: the non-free flash plugin *is* the same one from adobe [22:00] "This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive" [22:00] ...bother [22:00] foolhardy: then that's not a minimal command-line install. you had GeekSquid and I trying to diagnose the wrong problem--no big deal, now that we can tell better what the problem is, but when you said minimal install, i thought you meant no X. [22:00] dsnyders: if you own the file, of course [22:01] I see. My mistake. [22:01] oh, i need to a2enmod actions. [22:01] ilovefairuz: lol, i'm noob just try to help :) dunno the diff. Also he asking about the hw accleration. The setting is inside firefox. If you point him to desktop-effects, it's mean compiz setting not hw accleration :) [22:01] Hi. I'm having a problem where running some apps (VLC, aMSN, Calibre, etc) cause my box to reset (I'm runing 10.10). I thought it might be a rogue config problem so I've just finished a complete clean re-install and have the same thing :-(. Is there an easy way to look at some crash-logs to find out which shared library (which I'm guessing is the cause) is to blame? Thanks. [22:01] ilovefairuz: I cannot find 'desktop effects' here on hardy [22:01] What should I have said - since it installs x but there is no desktop environment like ubuntu desktop [22:01] hellnest: and i pointed that out [22:01] cholten99: log viewer, or in /etc/log [22:01] just not "desktop"? [22:02] ilovefairuz: you're the expert :) [22:02] well, irrelevant I guess. So yea, x won't start and I'm getting "no drivers available" [22:02] foolhardy: if xbmcliv installs only the current nvidia (260.19.29 i think) drivers by default and you need the legacy 173 drivers, then it should be as simple as apt-get purging the newer drivers, rebooting, and apt-get instaling the legacy 173 drivers, running nvidia-xconfig as root to make a new xorg.conf, and then starting X. [22:02] Hello. I have installed openswan... how do I know of my generic kernel already has ipsec support compiled in ? [22:02] magicianlord: /var/log not /etc/log [22:02] Maahes: thank you [22:02] d9500, forgive me, but how do I purge the current drivers? sudo apt-get purge nvidia? [22:03] I cannot find system > preferences > desktop effects here on hardy. Where should I look? [22:03] foolhardy: from synaptic package manager, find nvidia driver currently installed and then right click and purge [22:03] mongy well let me rephrase my problem yes it connects but it disconnects [22:03] magicianlord, how do you access spm from cli? [22:03] meco: I don't think hardy has that menu [22:04] epaphus: your kernel should if you have not rebuilt a customer kernel. It should be on by default. [22:04] Okay, thanks. I now have Log Viewer up. Hints for which log and what I should be filtering for to hunt for reset causes? [22:04] meco: first try: alt + f2, metacity --replace ... does this help with the flash problems? [22:04] you need to install compiz-gnome or compiz-config-settings-manager (ccsm) [22:04] otterpat, ah well, was there the b43 driver available.. bu I use STA fine.. [22:04] i use sta, becaue its the only one that works [22:04] Maahes: it's compizconfig-settings-manager [22:04] jgedeon_ hmm.. do you have a source i can show my friend who is breaking his head blaiming the kernel? iam running lucid from a minimal install [22:05] magicianlord, +1 [22:05] ActionParsnip: danke. [22:05] Maahes: np broseph :) [22:05] ilovefairuz: No, that made no difference [22:05] the STA did not work at all [22:05] foolhardy: i don't know the exact syntax for that since i'm not running the current ubuntu. i'm guessing you would run apt-cache search nvidia to find all available nvidia drivers in the repos, run dpkg -get-selections | grep nvidia to see currently installed nvidia drivers, and then, if the current driver is the most recent (256 or 260 insteaad of 173) purge that package name. [22:06] jgedeon_ iam running 2.6.32-27-generic i386 [22:06] mongy the STA did not work at all [22:06] meco: you're using a rather old ubuntu release, i suggest you install a newer version, Lucid 10.04 is an LTS release too [22:07] d9500: foolhardy: xbmc-live is not a ubuntu distro, and unfortunately is not supported here, I suggest you look elsewhere for help, you can install a regular ubuntu and install xbmc after you get the nvidia drivers working, seems like you would have better luck than using the xbmc-live, and better support with the true ubuntu base [22:07] ilovefairuz: Yeah.. I know... [22:07] what is xmbc [22:07] xbmc ? [22:07] foolhardy: you can try purging nvidia-current [22:07] epaphus: Are you running a hardy box? [22:08] magicianlord: xbmc is a media center pc, that runs under a number of linux distros [22:08] yes? [22:08] looking for distros with dead in the name should return good options [22:08] Ok, so I don't understand the underlying security model that's dictating chroot's behavior. I can't create a chroot jail and run it as either root or anybody else (on Ubuntu). I don't want to use schroot, I want to do it the manual way 1st because I want to understand it. I get "Operation not permitted" [22:08] foolhardy: I already told you yesterday that XMBC-Live isn't supported here because it's an unofficial derivative, and to seek support from the XBMC people. Please consider listening to that. [22:09] do I need to screw with pam? /etc/security/limits.conf? [22:09] otterpat, odd. which broadcom is it [22:09] otterpat, lspci -v | grep Broadcom [22:09] I copied bash & it's dependencies into the jail, added proc & dev, no dice [22:09] ciao [22:10] !it | sparrowminer [22:10] sparrowminer: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Thanks all for the help [22:11] I have a built in GSM modem on my laptop, and I was wondering if anybody knew of an app that I could send/receive SMS/text msgs with? [22:11] good night [22:11] rww, I wasn't aware of that [22:11] good night [22:11] mongy the one that is not working is the STA and the one that is is the B43 [22:11] telling someone that you already told them something doesn't help, especially when they weren't aware of it [22:11] knoppies: gsm-utils includes what you need [22:11] thanks GeekSquid [22:12] otterpat, its the opposite for me. well as long as its working. [22:12] foolhardy: When someone says something to you in a channel that you're in and don't subsequently leave for 2 hours, the expectation is that you read that message. Either way, now you know. [22:12] anyone knows jack about jack? [22:12] very little oneliner [22:12] oneliner: nothing [22:13] oneliner: but try me [22:13] oneliner: /join #jack [22:13] am fiddling in double depth; new in ubuntu and new at handling midi [22:13] !details | oneliner : and watch your language [22:13] oneliner : and watch your language: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:14] ilovefairuz: just an innocent pun, but anyways [22:14] :) [22:14] mongy well working is a relative term still disconnecting [22:14] oneliner: and I have no clue what double depth is :) [22:14] 37240001705556 [22:14] m/t [22:15] that an exaggeration of "over my head" :) [22:15] rww: speaking in code again? [22:15] oneliner: ahhh, well I use jack with ardour, but try #jack or #ardour === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ-away [22:15] dansan: If you try copying bash and chrooting, remember to preserve the directory structure - after all bash looks for ls in /bin (or /usr/bin) ** whereever it is**, if you see what I mean. [22:16] GeekSquid: I'm not good at multitasking, it seems :( [22:16] does anyone know what kind of software a default IP of http://10.1.10.91 would be for? [22:16] if thats my default gateway [22:16] i am trying to get to grasp with the basic concept of the midi server and trying to get rosegarden to reproduce the midi examples (it appears to be running alright but i get no sound) [22:16] nothingspecial: thanks for the response. I believe I've copied the directory structure correctly. I've actually also copied firefox & it's dependencies as well. Maybe I should be a pastebin of the contents [22:17] delinquentme: try nmap's os/version probing? [22:17] and google too. [22:17] delinquentme: not software, just network, not a standard IP, but some routers don't stick to the mainstream, not a problem though [22:18] dansan: perhaps what you're looking for is an apparmor profile for firefox ? [22:18] dansan: I`m theorising, I`m not sure if I could actually help :) [22:18] ciao [22:18] GeekSquid, ilovefairuz so the issue is its coming up with just a screen thats says "It works! " [22:18] sparrowminer: ciao bella, can we help you with something? [22:19] and I lied, sorry. What it actually says is "cannot find file /bin/bash", I get the "Operation not permitted" when trying to run as non-root, but of course, I want non-root to run in the end [22:19] delinquentme: looks like an apache webserver [22:19] http://pastebin.ca/2036113 [22:19] GeekSquid, can that be installed on a wireless router? [22:20] Here's my chroot contents. I have it in /var/chroot/firefox and I'm running "chroot /var/chroot/firefox /bin/bash" [22:20] delinquentme: that's the default apache welcome page [22:20] mongy i wonder if it is my wireless card itself i just created a wireless network and it has no signal strength but is is conned [22:20] delinquentme: routers run web servers for GUI, not usually apache though [22:20] delinquentme: in theory, yes, I don't know why it would be, but if you have port forwarding enabled, you would be looking at the webserver of your local machine [22:20] chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [22:21] delinquentme: try http://localhost .... see if you get the same result [22:21] for sharing between two ubuntu machines, which of nfs and samba is less cpu intensive/more efficient? [22:21] otterpat, for me b43 worked flaky, and signal was always very low, rate was fluctuating from 1mb/s to 54mbp/s all the time [22:21] GeekSquid, yeap sure do! [22:21] goetter: ssh does just fine, places > connect to [22:22] sorry, console only i meant [22:22] goetter, I use the connect to menu and ssh (ts actually sftp or something I think) [22:22] i'll be using this to share media for xbmc [22:22] and other things [22:22] goetter: sudo apt-get install sshfs [22:22] wow, this freaking owns [22:22] ps3mediaserver succesfully installed on 10.10 [22:22] i start my ubuntu 10.04 system and it works fine then after a few minutes my screen goes black and flashes some white stripes and does not go back to unutu and i cannont do anything what does this mean [22:22] now transcoding raw .ts(blue ray files) [22:22] delinquentme: guessing 10.1.10.91 is your local machine and your gateway is actually 10.1.10.1 [22:22] over the wireless N lan, to all devices on my lan [22:22] , ie: xbox360/ipad/iphone....win [22:22] okay sshfs looks simple enough [22:23] GeekSquid, own. [22:23] but one of my clients is an appletv, which doesn't have an amazing cpu [22:23] goetter, once you have the drive mounted, I think xbmc can use it. I haven't tested that yet. Im not sure then, I haven't done much successful fiddling with samba [22:23] GeekSquid, how are people supposed to know these things haha? [22:23] i'd like to give it the implementation that eats the least cpu [22:23] so that it has more to play videos with :3 [22:23] ccvp: i just setup ushare to stream media to the xbox and ps3 [22:23] delinquentme: 20 years at the game and I still don't know everything [22:23] goetter: lighttpd? === syazdani is now known as treelizard [22:24] bastidrazor [22:24] i couldnt get ushare setup [22:24] ilovefairuz: Interesting. I'm not running SELinux, and although I can re-compile the kernel any way I like, I'm thinking that running a version of firefox in a chroot that has the stupid plugins and having a separate "clean" version (no goofy plug-ins) would be a safe approach [22:24] it wouldnt see any of my ubuntu shares [22:24] for whatever reason when i browsed in my 360 [22:24] im running ps3media server on a Q9300/6gigddr3/ubuntu 10.10 [22:24] its pretty quick [22:24] !enter | ccvp [22:24] ccvp: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:25] ilovefairuz: I've seen some HOWTOs that say how to do it with schroot, but I want to make it work manually 1st (at least a bash prompt) to make sure I understand the tech & implications before I proceed with any higher level software [22:25] ccvp: you tell it which folders to share in /etc/ushare.conf [22:25] dansan: apparmor is NOT SELinux, is a similar but separately developed technology [22:25] have you checked out ps3mediaserver [22:25] ilovefairuz: ahh [22:25] for ubuntu? [22:25] seamless transcoding...any fileformat/extension [22:25] ccvp: no, ushare was the first i tried and it works fine. [22:25] GeekSquid, so what do you make of the chromebook's lscpu output? [22:26] well i may msg u if i get issues with ps3mediaserver [22:26] can ushare transcode any file as well? [22:26] when browsing through the 360? [22:26] dansan: and it's way much easier to configure than SELinux [22:26] ccvp: i can not get mp4's to play on either ps3 or 360.. the only issue i have. [22:26] mp4 = mkv? [22:26] , ie: h264 avi's? [22:27] ilovefairuz: thanks, I'll read up on it. But I still want it jailed & separated from the rest of the filesystem. [22:27] Gartral: nothing special "GenuineIntel" [22:27] dansan: it does that and much more [22:27] ilovefairuz: it's adobe flash that's the huge leak [22:27] GeekSquid: ? [22:27] dansan: i enable it only on youtube [22:28] ilovefairuz: Here we are with perhaps the most secure operating system on the planet and we're installing one of the most insecure binaries on it opening it up to the world! [22:28] look at the core/cpu count [22:28] ilovefairuz: yeah, I just want to go a step further [22:28] nothingspecial: not for you .. notice the space, the answer was in relation to rww's question [22:28] GeekSquid, ^^^ [22:28] ccvp: the extension.. file.mp4 .. at the moment i'm unable to test if changing the extension will work. [22:28] GeekSquid: sorry [22:28] ok, gotta afk, brb [22:29] ps3 media server was able to stream a 90gig uncompressed blueray .ts file to my ipad via ps3medaiserver running on ubuntu 10.10 [22:29] over wireless N, with NO hiccups [22:29] nice [22:29] dansan: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguinswf/2008/08/secrets_of_the_mmscfg_file_1.html [22:29] dansan: you can disable ALL filesystem read/write operations [22:29] Gartral: I see 2 cores (Intel Core Duo) on 1 socket, [22:30] Is there a good usenet browser for Ubuntu 10.10, thats as good as newsleecher? === The is now known as Guest28034 [22:30] ccvp, lottanzb [22:30] if problem is youtube on full screen, just disable hardware acceleration@ [22:30] mongy, usenet provider independant?

[22:34] ccvp, other than that, its easy as pie to setup [22:34] ok, uninstalling the latest stable then [22:34] didnt see that .6 was there [22:35] ccvp, could just upgrade it :) [22:35] ccvp, ok nvm [22:35] Xintruder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [22:35] knoppies: also gnome-device-manager, if you prefer GUI [22:35] ccvp, ive used the 0.6 for a while, works fine.

I need to reboot though. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. [22:37] hi all, how can I find duplicate line in a text file? [22:37] hihihi100: Applications --> Office --> Dictionary.

[22:40] i just want to play back an audio file, and have an app that needs a microphone pick that up [22:40] the app is gui (it's actually under wine, but that's no problem, wine puts the mic through OK, i know it works for everyone) [22:40] cheater99, look into aplay and sox [22:40] let me try that [22:41] Gartral: and that is coming from the Chrome kernel, so we have a bunch of undocumented unrecognized and otherwise un-understandable information that will take a while to sort [22:41] cheater99: mic could create a dummy dev for; audacity does such recordings [22:41] Gartral: they arent flags just optiopns [22:41] Nobody's insane enough to do what I want to do, I guess :) [22:41] DasEi: i didn't understand that, say again?

[22:43] hello all, i heard its possible to install ubuntu on a USB [22:43] ccvp, for sabnzb [22:43] i added the first one, and it gave me some hahsh in return [22:43] cheater99: /dev/mic for example [22:43] hash [22:43] DasEi: yes. how? [22:43] cheater99: sudo touch /dev/mic [22:44] hello all, i heard its possible to install ubuntu on a USB [22:44] Gartral: same reason I didn't buy the G1 and waited for the MOTO Droid [22:44] ccvp, its the backend. lottanzb is not the program all on its own, its just a frontend [22:44] DasEi: and then, how do i put sound in it? [22:44] I have an old computer, 60 MB of RAM, single core 551 Mhz proccessor, what should i put on it, Xubuntu, Puppy Linux or DSL? [22:44] ok i did those two commands for adding them, so now i can just sudo apt-get install lottanzb, and it'll install the .6? [22:44] cheater99: you can just point to it, as it's a dummy, it won't work [22:44] GeekSquid, lol, same here.. but i'll never turn down a free laptop, even if it's a bit strange! [22:44] carson: puppy might work, DSL is the best bet [22:44] !usb | trojanking [22:44] trojanking: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === CripperZ-away is now known as CripperZ [22:44] ccvp, sudo apt-get update first [22:45] Gartral: FREE? how did you pull that one off? === petr is now known as _bro [22:45] hi, I have switched the complete hardware of a system (I put the hdd into another computer) how can I update all drivers, so ubuntu will soft reinstall? is this possible? [22:45] DasEi: but i need to put sound into it. [22:45] GeekSquid: Could DSL still download somewhat newer software? does it have software center? [22:45] carson: dsl,or least 128 MB ram [22:45] ccvp, then sudo apt-get install lottanzb sabnzbdplus [22:45] Nobody? :) [22:45] elliott: ask again ?

[22:46] I don't have an optical drive or a convenient USB stick. [22:46] ilovefairuz: I tried your thing, I could trial Ubuntu, but whenever I tried to install, I selected my language, then pressed forward. Then the next thing came up, I read it, and presssed forward, then it said it was loading. I walked away for about 15 minutes then came back and it still had the loading circle. Is this normal and no? What is wrong? [22:46] Furthermore, is it possible to then install to the same media I booted the Live CD off? [22:46] elliot: yes, can make grub2 boot an iso [22:46] GeekSquid, it's not garenteed you'll get one! [22:46] DasEi: no, that requires special support in the initramfs IIRC [22:46] Gartral: I know, but it is worth a try [22:46] im about to pop in a 2TB WD Caviar Green to a sata port on my pc, will ubuntu be able to utilize [22:46] I'm fine writing an .img to a partition etc. [22:46] 2TB drive/sata out of the box? [22:47] ccvp: yes. [22:47] ccvp: make sure to turn it off first :-P [22:47] is it possible to install ubuntu desktop w/o installing X/gnome?

[22:47] LOL [22:47] ccvp: um did you just plug a sata drive in to a live pc [22:48] yep [22:48] j/k - lulz [22:48] ccvp: i was getting worried there. [22:48] what has humanity come to :) [22:48] cheater99: well. yeah. it's the details that are difficult :P [22:48] quit [22:48] my main PC has front loading trays/docks for sata drives [22:48] gateway FX 6480-15E, it would be nice if sata evolves to hot swappable [22:49] ccvp: sata is hotplug already [22:49] please after installing ubuntu on usb can i run it side by side with my mac OS... i mean can i switch to another OS already installed in hard drive without switching off my pc? [22:49] oh, so u cant do it [22:49] mobo wise [22:49] but if it has trays, thats fine? [22:49] elliott: my guess is try it first with a simple fat32 partition: make a usb stick that creates an empty fat32 partition, copies over to the fat32. you can then check if that works at all. then try to make it boot. then doing ramfs shouldn't be a big step from that. [22:49] cant do it live to the mobo sata port etc...? [22:49] cheater99: I have no USB stick. [22:49] elliott: cd then [22:50] trojanking: no, that you would use a vm for [22:50] ilovefairuz: thank you. However, mm.cfg is useless if the integrity of the flash binary has been compromised it's self. I think I would be more comfortable trusting a convicted criminal with my security. [22:50] trojanking, yea, look into xen computing [22:50] cheater99: I have no optical drive. [22:50] cheater99: Why do you think I want to boot the Live CD from a partition? === bustedup277 is now known as brbup277 [22:50] brb, gotta transfer drive [22:50] OK, there's probably an unused USB stick _somewhere_, but I'd rather do this than dig around to find it ... [22:50] elliott: why not just boot a linux from the partition? [22:50] ok thanks [22:50] elliott: can you take out the hdd? [22:50] !xen | trojanking [22:50] trojanking: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [22:50] cheater99: that's what I want to do, I want to boot the ubuntu livecd from the partition [22:50] and no, I can't [22:50] laptop [22:50] not easily accessible HD [22:50] elliott: you can take out laptop hdds [22:50] i'd really rather not [22:51] elliott: how are you going to put data on the hdd if you have no optical drive? [22:51] and no usb stick? [22:51] cheater99: um I am sort of connected to the internet? [22:51] elliott, does it have usb? [22:51] Gartral: yes. but i don't have a usb drive handy. [22:51] elliott: what OS do you have? [22:51] hm wait this might work [22:51] * elliott goes off to try [22:51] elliott, ahhah, hmm.. sd card? [22:51] Gartral: I think there's one of those ... somewhere :-D [22:52] I doubt it can boot from it [22:52] anyway, I have an idea [22:52] elliott: you could resize the partition with the OS that's on it already, then rip the image of a working ubuntu partition from somewhere and put it on your system [22:52] elliott, http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [22:52] elliott: then set it to bootable. [22:52] elliott: make sure the grub on the donor system was installed on the partition and not in the mbr. [22:52] Rave1: yep that is basically what i was going to try. [22:52] cheater99: I'm just going to copy the LiveCD files [22:52] and then use GRUB to boot kernel/initrd [22:53] the only problem is- [22:53] elliott, ok [22:53] how can I force Ubuntu to load all the installation files into RAM? [22:53] Since I need to install it to the _same_ partition. [22:53] don't [22:53] it wont work [22:53] IIRC I've done this before but I forget how. [22:53] elliott: have two partitions [22:53] elliott: you can later remove the livecd partition [22:53] I suppose I can do without 600 megs if I have to :) === Agu10 is now known as pipeep [22:54] I'll get to partitioning. [22:54] elliott, you reaaly need a lice disk too boot from, you have no external drives what so ever? [22:54] you can resize partitions using gparted or something like that under linux [22:54] * cheater99 forgot the actual command [22:54] Gartral: I probably do, but they're all either used or somewhere I don't know where. [22:54] Besides, this sounds like fun. [22:54] I've done similar things before, I know what I'm doing. [22:54] elliott: you can use say partition magic under windows to resize your existing partition without losing data. [22:54] head it all before [22:55] itaylor57: don't worry, I'm crazy enough. [22:55] cheater99: yeah, i'm fine with resizing. [22:55] elliott: I still don't get your question.. you want to boot an iso from hd ? with usb as startmedium ?

[23:15] 2TB drive better not take 2-3 hours to format NTFS to EXT4 [23:15] doesnt it just do a "quick format"? etc [23:15] ccvp: How long have it been? [23:15] kcorcoran, not unlike ninan, which is browser based via java... much more advanced tho [23:15] 3min [23:15] nawk: and also I assume you can write to the usb, once it's booted, changes remain, so it's not a live, but a persistant install [23:15] ccvp: Wait 30 minutes. I'd say. :3 [23:15] it was in win7before, now its ext4 for my media library [23:15] DasEi: well, the installation is created on an aufs which is generated by the LiveCD. Ultimately I want to have some room to work with [23:15] kcorcoran, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1234982 there, I did that. [23:16] kcorcoran, a bit rough around the edges... [23:16] DasEi: but there is no room to work with since there's 0 MB left on the aufs filesystem [23:16] mongy: yea, at a loss with sabnzbplus...still new to ubuntu and reviewed the wiki for sabnzbplus - couldn't understand how to configure and launch [23:16] nawk: and usb has space left [23:16] nawk : size of the usb ? [23:16] DasEi there is plenty of space on the USB === djhakim is now known as hakimsheriff [23:16] its just that the aufs is 100% utilized [23:16] does the cp command support "overwriting"? [23:17] ok done [23:17] 4m27s on a Q9300 6gig ddr3 took to format 2TB [23:17] nawk, can you not move some of the files from the aufs onto the usb? [23:17] i'm just messing with you lupowaco [23:17] Jacruth: Yes. Automatically. Check "cp --help" or "man cp" -- If you want interactive (yes/no), use :cp -i" [23:17] "cp -i" [23:18] red2kic, wtf [23:18] nawk: basically two ways : either view the usb as a standard harddrive , and use it that way, or think of it like a live install, then can have an additional partiton for downloads, but.. can't make installs , that will remain after reboot [23:18] i have a VM running Leopard [23:18] hi, how can I make double tap on my touchpad be right click and triple tap be middle click?

How to reset all network settings? [23:19] cool, reading docs about command line network config here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html. i thought ip was replacing ifconfig? [23:19] kcorcoran, if you wanna use it, use the 0.6 ppa for lottanzb and also ppa for sabnzb, info is on lottanzb.org [23:19] amerinese: why did you think that? [23:19] this is my last issue i seem to have [23:19] neg lupowaco [23:19] someone mentioned that to me? [23:19] Jacruth: I don't know. I generally use "cp -a" to copy few files. Nothing deep. [23:19] nawk : how did you install to the usb ? [23:20] I could use some troubleshooting help... I'm trying to connect my Ubuntu machine through the Internet using internet connection sharing. It worked last night, but I rebooted Ubuntu (and not the Windows machine) and now it doesn't connect [23:20] No worries thanks anw ;) [23:20] not sure, not really used ifconfig before except to find out the ip address [23:20] mongy in disk utility, the drive shows Partition Type: HPFS/NTFS(0x07) even tho in the big greybar showing its storage area visually, it says 2.0TB ext4....... [23:20] thanks red2kic, Ill try on the way [23:21] oh wait, why is it asking me to manually chose the "Type" [23:21] ccvp, did you repartition it? The system will think it is the original partition type until you reboot or re-read the partition tables. [23:21] ccvp, what does gparted show [23:21] mongy: looking at it now. is it worth going to a web UI? what is the advantage? just more features? [23:21] formatting doesnt do this alone? [23:21] in the Disk Utility app? [23:21] I'm trying to install a python package that I downloaded from sourceforge. I extracted the tar.gz archive using tar -zxvf [file name], navigated inside the extracted directory, and ran "sudo python install.py install" and it errored out. Help? [23:21] kcorcoran, well, ninan has a LOT more features, and its hidden... [23:21] i will chose Linux (0x83) and not make it bootable [23:21] chrisb: be less vague. [23:21] light sensors, who has them working? [23:21] DasEi Universal USB Installer [23:21] one sec. [23:21] hi, how can I make double tap on my touchpad be right click and triple tap be middle click? [23:21] hi, how can I make double tap on my touchpad be right click and triple tap be middle click? [23:22] hi, how can I make double tap on my touchpad be right click and triple tap be middle click? [23:22] cutegirl96: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:22] mongy: hidden? can you elaborate that and why that's good or bad/ [23:22] kcorcoran, but saying that, with lotta/sab there is ability to show it via web [23:22] chrisb: try sudo python install install.py [23:22] chrisb: it would be help if you pastebin the error [23:22] kcorcoran, ninan is only used via browser, meaning its running but no window open, tray icon etc [23:23] !repeat | cutegirl96 [23:23] cutegirl96: 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/ [23:23] mongy: so by hidden you;re saying its less resource intensive? [23:23] kcorcoran, well, it uses java, so not really.. hidden means its background process, and server like [23:23] ok i changed the partition to Linux (0x83) [23:23] nawk: so live or persistent ? [23:23] mongy: gotcha...makes sense [23:23] kcorcoran, you use it by connecting to it viz browser... [23:24] viz* [23:24] via*!! [23:24] in DIsk Utility, and its still not mounted................maybe ill stop, whats the process to repartition this 2TB drive to go entirely EXT4, and formatted and mounted? [23:24] mongy: its just a service and i view it by a web UI? that the correct way to think of it./ [23:24] ? [23:24] ccvp: mkfs.ext4 [23:24] type that in cmd prompt? [23:24] Thanks. I'll try it right now. Sorry, cutegirl96. I'm trying to install MySQL-python1.2.3. I used wget to download the file to /usr/local/lib. [23:24] kcorcoran, yes [23:24] ccvp: um. you have to give it parameters. [23:25] mongy: sorry, trying to tranlate this so i understand...trying to migrate from windows 100% [23:25] the drive is currently /dev/sda1 [23:25] ccvp: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1. say. [23:25] kcorcoran, lotta/sabnzb is a decent solution.. [23:25] mongy: so if i following your link to install ninan it will allow me to view via web UI? [23:25] will that format it too? [23:25] kcorcoran, yes. [23:26] its writing "inode tables" now [23:26] mongy: reading your link, what username is that referring to? the usenetserver credentials? [23:26] 1100 out of 14905 [23:27] kcorcoran, oh, username = your home [23:27] kcorcoran, couldnt figure a way to auto do everything... [23:27] chrisb: I think you would have better luck with sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb [23:27] kcorcoran, so you need to amend it to /home/'you' [23:28] DaeEi i can't remember, but I have a casper-rw ext3 filesystem which is setup as a loop device, its of 128MB [23:28] Hi. How can I run a python script every time I log on? (gnome-terminal localy or ssh from elsewhere) [23:28] mongy: if i run through the process to install right now would you have a few minutes to help walk me through it in the event i run into a snag? [23:28] kcorcoran, I guess [23:29] What was that aptitude package again? [23:29] chrisb: python-mysqldb [23:29] DaeEi: okay, ultimatley what I want to achieve is use the LiveCD environment while I have the freedom (freepsace) to install things here and there to try [23:29] I believe things are different with recent versions of Ubuntu now. [23:29] nawk: seems persistant than.. if your lucky and it is next to the free space can resize it , safer is an extra partitition though to not mess the uuids [23:30] why is mkfs.ext4 reserving 5% of my drive [23:30] for super user? [23:30] Im trying to install Puppy Linux on my old old computer, but i cant seem to be able to boot it from CD, can someone explain to be how to boot from CD, i feel stupid that i cant get it to work :P [23:30] Thank you thank you thank you! [23:30] You guys are awesome. [23:30] chrisb: no problem [23:30] carson: puppy isnt supported here [23:30] nawk: that are two different things, space to install or spaceto store [23:30] Previously, I could install softwares as I wish during the "Try before install" environment, nothing is persistent [23:30] ActionParsnip what do you mean? [23:31] carson: this is ubuntu support, not puppy [23:31] nawk: which size has the usb ? [23:31] that's like before 9.04 (or 9.10) tho [23:31] how do I share files between two Ubuntu Laptops? I am able to access my printer that is on the network but not the computers. They are using wireless [23:31] its a 4GB USB [23:31] ShawnRisk: could install openssh-server and use sftp / sshfs or you can use samba [23:31] well sorry, i was here anyway asking what i should use, Xubuntu or Puppy so i thought i might as well ask, but okay il switch to the puppy channel if they have it [23:32] nawk: that doesn't really make sense then [23:32] carson: thanks :) [23:32] ActionParsnip: there is no easier way? [23:33] nawk:you could do a "native install like you would do to a harddisk, but it will be filled up easily, you don't just install, but also d/l things [23:33] ShawnRisk: what could be easier than samba? [23:33] right [23:33] mongy: the link states to install java, however the 1st step appears to be an installation of java - should i install java via synaptic or is the 1st step actually addressing the java installation? [23:34] kcorcoran, its old post, let me look [23:34] Has anyone else had problems with the catalyst driver? things like blender showing static and lagging and the screensaver not working? [23:34] How can I run a specific python script whenever I (or anyone else) logs in remotely (ssh)? [23:34] nawk: in that case use usb-creator,make the writeable space ~300 MB smaller than maximum possible and get the most of that stick [23:34] kcorcoran, ah yes, you need to enable partner repo, or use openjdk, which might be installed already [23:34] kcorcoran, it works, i tried it [23:35] ok this is weird [23:35] disk utility still shows "partition type HPFS/NTFS(0x07) , do u gotta reboot? [23:35] mongy: you're talking to someone very new to ubuntu. can you simplfy your last answer? should install java very synaptic or run that first command? [23:35] ActionParsnip: I thought Samba was to connect a Linux computer to Windows. [23:36] DasEi: NEGATIVE, USB-Creator does not correctly create Ubuntu LiveUSB [23:36] kcorcoran, well maybe you should use lottanzb, its a nice little gui that works [23:36] in fact, the Developers should take note [23:36] hey, where can i get the linux mint menu? i like the right click uninstall button... [23:36] nawk: it does, see above tip (and format stick with fat before, 1 Partitition) [23:36] ShawnRisk: not specifically, it shares the folder using samba, Linux and Mac and Windows can access samba shares so is a totally acceptable option [23:37] kcorcoran, java -version ? [23:37] it fails to fix the bootloader configurations between syslinux and isolinux [23:37] hy [23:37] nawk: use unetbootin then, i've never had an issue with usb-creator personally, do you md5 test your ISOs? [23:37] DasEi that is a different discussion all together. [23:37] my pc has a wireless card and ifconfig is showing 'wlan0, but i'm only using it as a 'wired' connection. How do i disable the wlan0 interface so it doesnt lag me or anything [23:37] ActionParsnip: okay let me try [23:38] infid: sudo ifdown wlan0 [23:38] back in a bit [23:38] how come i don't have the choice to use gnome in my session bar at login? [23:38] ActionParsnip, it has nothing to do with the MD5. it matches. I have success with Universal USB Installer [23:38] nawk: as far as I got you you now have a usb install with persistant space taking about 1 Gig of the usb. Resizing will be a fiddle, since it's live-fs, and additional partition won't allow installs [23:38] infid: right click on network icon on top bar.. uncheck enable wireless [23:39] GeekSquid: it's already not using wireless. and 'sudo ifdown wlan0' is saying it's not configured. yet it still shows up in 'ifconfig' [23:39] nawk: if the ISO is bad, then the bootable device made with the image will be bad, so YES it does have something to do with it [23:40] infid: if you run: sudo lshw -C network is the interface unclaimed? [23:40] Az automatikus csatolás meghiúsult: A(z) org.gtk.vfs.mountpoint.http csatolási pontja már fut [23:40] miért kapom ezt? [23:40] médialejátszó youtube bövitménye... [23:40] ActionParsnip but I've already told you that it matches. The problem is in that usb-creator doesn't fix the bootloader config difference between syslinux and isolinux [23:40] mohalaci: spain ?

[23:40] hi [23:40] happy new year :) [23:40] hungary :) [23:41] ActionParsnip: *-network:0 [23:41] nawk: thats fine, but the MD5 is important, and you said it wasn't [23:41] kcorcoran, best not use the links on there to get the program, best use the main site itself..get latest version. :) [23:41] !es [23:41] !hu [23:41] Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [23:41] thx :) [23:41] nawk: have you logged a bug / is one logged already? [23:41] infid: it won't lag you or anything, just leave it, you might need it. [23:41] ok [23:41] future reference running a whois on the users ip will tell you what country they are in [23:41] What's a good text editor to use in shell? [23:42] jon_athon: nano [23:42] jon_athon: vim [23:42] ActionParsnip, I didn't say it wasn't important. The problem I'm having "has nothing to do with MD5" [23:42] GeekSquid, i installed ubuntu 10.10 on my computer and now when i wanna choose Gnome down at the session bar at "login".. there is none i forgot how i fix this.. [23:42] jon_athon: try nano [23:42] aimio: if you login what do you get? [23:42] jon_athon: i take back vim. vim is dangerous to run as sudo [23:42] nawk: is there a bug logged to get the usb-creator app fixed so it does what its supopsed to do? [23:42] infid, why's that? [23:42] netbook session. [23:43] but i hate that.. i want normal.. [23:43] jon_athon: it has security issues last i checked that shouldnt be ran as elevated privs [23:43] ActionParsnip, TyrantElf I've used nano, I was wondering if there are any other spiffy editors [23:43] crap. The system is so low in space that I can't even do an 'ls' [23:43] aimio: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ... should get you rolling [23:43] I get an I/O error [23:43] kk [23:43] thank you. [23:43] jon_athon: nano is secure and has many features [23:43] jon_athon: it's also more difficult to use, a lot more powerful than nano though if you want to have a serious programming editor in a shell [23:43] but jsut for editing configuration files and stuff nano is probably better [23:43] nawk: try using bleachbit and/or uninstall openoffice and/or remove excess kernels [23:44] Thanks all, I guess I'll stick with nano, I did just install VIM so I'll check it out when I get into programming [23:44] jon_athon: if you seriously get into programming, get something better than vim [23:45] linxeh, reccomendations? [23:45] linxeh: jon_athon: emacs would be a step up for programming, but very difficult to learn [23:45] linxeh: thems fighting words :P, i have been programming a decade and havent found anything definitively 'better' [23:45] what about pico? [23:45] how to register my nickname?

Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [23:45] ActionParsnip Is there some changes to Ubuntu I'm not aware about? Previously, with my experiences with releases (before 9.10), I could freely install problems even when I'm in the LIVECD environment. Now, I seem to be limited by space. [23:46] thanks GeekSquid [23:46] s/problems/programs/ [23:46] GeekSquid: I used to use emacs. its not really what I meant [23:46] infid: I've been programming for over 20 years (to varying degrees) [23:46] jon_athon: i think nano is pico's replacement [23:47] ah, interesting that it's still pre-packagd then [23:47] nawk: you can in the newer ones too, you are just limited by RAM as the liveCD boots to RAM disk [23:47] well vim or emacs are what most serious programmers in linux use [23:47] infid: and by better, I mean a tool that has an understanding of the language you are programming in and can offer decent refactoring support. as an example, IntelliJ for Java (but there are tools that offer similar capabilities in many languages) [23:47] infid: nano is a free version of pico [23:47] jon_athon: I love linux... redundancy redundancy redundancy [23:47] and I got 6 GBs [23:47] hmmm.... [23:47] refactoring support is rarely that immportant vs allt he other needed features. if thats all you care about then netbeans woudl be good enough for crying out loud [23:47] GeekSquid, hmmm, seems superfluous [23:48] why is there a circle still spinning in the disk utility application? === TyrantElf is now known as NixGeek [23:48] does that mean its still repartitioning etc? [23:48] nawk: thats plenty, should be fine# [23:48] jon_athon: better word yet [23:48] Okay, thats better [23:48] where does ubuntu store the grub config file? [23:48] tyrantelf is my gaming scren name [23:48] its not in /boot/grub/menu.lst or grub.conf [23:48] PhonicUK: its /boot/grub/grub.cfg but you shouldn't manually edit it [23:48] GeekSquid, heh, motivation to learn how to recompile my own "distro" [23:48] infid: refactoring support is a major issue, as are debuggers and profilers (and most suck) [23:49] ActionParsnip, I don't intend to, I gotta copy the entries from it into the Android installed grub xD [23:49] infid: what other features are you suggesting are needed ? [23:49] PhonicUK, what are you working on? [23:49] infid: we should take this into offtopic I guess :P [23:49] My Eee 701 [23:49] jon_athon: are you prepared to hire a development team, and setup offices, like Mark Shuttleworth did with $300M by building Canonical? Go right ahead [23:49] I made a spare partition to install Android into [23:50] but it overwrote grub [23:50] its the one and only ActionParsnip who loves correcting people on omgubuntu.. keep it the good work lol [23:50] so now I gotta boot into it by hand using the grub command line [23:50] linxeh: fefactoring support is major if you're a java programmer. more useful features to me are shell/db/etc integration, memory foot print, stability, community, ability to use within gnu screen, have multiple instances running, powerful editing features, scriptability, etc [23:50] mongy: good fun, specially when pictures can be used too... [23:50] yeah i digress [23:50] GeekSquid, No, I just meant to learn how to do it for my personal use... like the old school hackers, when the word didn't mean something evil O_o [23:51] ActionParsnip, its more work than 1 person can handle though surely. [23:51] evening [23:51] mongy: most things in life are [23:51] Disk Utility may be lagging [23:51] can someone tell me what the latest kernel version is please? [23:51] infid: its major if you are a java, C#, C++, C, or a developer in any other language [23:51] that stupid circle is still spinning [23:51] even though i already mounted the new drive to a point [23:51] or rather, the latest ubuntu kernel version [23:52] PhonicUK: for what version of ubuntu? [23:52] 10.10 [23:52] why does my system still say my drive is hpfs/ntfs(0x07) [23:52] !info linux-kernel [23:52] linxeh: i can refactor find in vim for most things 'global search and replace'. what do you have in mind that matters for say a php programmer? [23:52] Package linux-kernel does not exist in maverick [23:52] infid: each to their own though [23:52] even though i formatted/partitioned it as ext4? visual glitch?

I am creating a Chef recipe and can't seem to find a way to do it non-interactively. [23:53] for sure [23:54] php isnt the problem, it's that 98% or so of php coders abuse php too much [23:54] hi, guys [23:54] infid, you know whats hilarious [23:54] whereas someone who actually knows multiple languages and knows best practices probably uses it fine [23:54] i'd like to know how can i send a private message to a user here [23:54] php is awful.
