[00:01] sev8, that means there is the hd seen first; you should a boot live cd and chroot into the sys and then ask again here, so one can take a look [00:01] is there a way to roll back to 10.04 from 10.10?? [00:01] fractal: clean install is the only way [00:01] ok [00:02] hi everybody, i have just copied a copy of ubuntu onto a flashdrive through another partition but the problem is that the flashdrive is not bootable directly but i was able to boot it when i added it to the desktop's version of ubuntu's grub; i'm currently booting through the usb drive, now how do i install grub on it? [00:02] nsd_, i know how you can fix it [00:02] paranoidphreak: how did you put the Ubuntu onto the flash device? [00:02] paranoidphreak, grub-install might be what you're looking for. [00:02] r00t4rd3d: shoot [00:03] ActionPa1snip: using gparted [00:03] nsd_, http://opensourceexcedio.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/plymouth-new/ [00:03] DasEi_: OK I'll try. I only have physical access to the machine for a few more hours tomorrow (it's just hit midnight here) [00:03] paranoidphreak, should first try if subergrubdisk boots it, then chroot in and install by grub-install [00:03] run that script and you can change the resolution [00:03] I was upgrading my laptop from 10.04 to 10.10, but it appears that metacity crashed at some point during the upgrade. Now the system is stuck at Grub's "do you want to update the install" question, but without metacity I can't focus on that window (the main upgrade window is blocking it), and I can't restart metacity because apparently something from gdm is missing. [00:04] sev8, same time here, channel is 24/7 [00:04] paranoidphreak: so you booted to an ubuntu install media then installed to the USB using that? [00:04] (I switched to VT1 to try and restart metacity, but even with metacity --display :0 it didn't work.) [00:04] r00t4rd3d: thanks a million [00:04] r00t4rd3d: I'll give that a try [00:04] Rigorm0rtis: i have tried the grub-install command like this: sudo grub-install /dev/sdc1 but it didn't work [00:05] nsd_, i just used to today to fix a grub screen issue i had [00:05] paranoidphreak, no, install to sdc [00:05] paranoidphreak, you might want to install it to the device itself, /dev/sdc [00:05] hllo people [00:05] (ubuntu 10.10) DOWNLOADING torrents or downloading packages using apt-get slows down my network enourmously, internet music streams must buffer every 5-10 seconds and pigning google reaches 1-2k ms, THIS is not an isp throthling issue (100% sure) since windows does not have such an issue [00:05] hello* [00:05] paranoidphreak, else you install to a partition and need a chainloader [00:05] DasEi_: thanks. A sysadmin friend suggested that I add the mount command to /etc/rc.local as a workaround.

[00:54] moocawne, but i know that wireless cards can be a biatch [00:54] moocawne, there was a podcast way back in the day on linuxreality about it [00:55] luxurymode: about wifi problems is it? [00:55] Pawmaniac, trying to figure that out actually. If there's a cheap solution to get a case with a sufficient motherboard and power supply then i'd do that, but it'd be fun building from scratch. whaddya think? [00:55] moocawne, yeah i think so. sec... [00:56] moocawne: the guys in ##windows may be able to get your windows booting, you can then boot to liveCD and reinstall grub and the dualboot will be fine [00:56] Does anyone know a better emulator type thing than virtual box...virtual box isn't working for me.

[00:58] Hey guys how come when I watch streaming videos and they are full screen they are choppy? [00:59] Pawmaniac, gotcha. so i dont even know what to look for in a motherboard. a basic primer (or maybe a link to a good one)? [00:59] Pawmaniac, also, not sure if it matters, but i'll be installing ubuntu only on this machine [00:59] Pawmaniac, i want everything that plays nicest with linux. guess HDs is the main issue there... [01:00] I am not able to see my cd/dvd drive on my ubuntu partition but it works fine in the windows partition [01:00] luxury: main issue is graphics [01:00] luxurymode: i feel like you'd be hard pressed to find a hd that didn't play nice with linux [01:00] luxurymode; but anyway, you first need to think of wheer you want to be endgame... graphics, (crossfire sli) cpu, ram, other little goodies, sound card [01:00] richgilberto, well my raided drive acted like a biznatch [01:00] richgilberto, i guess i just need to avoid RAID [01:00] or use linux utils to RAID it [01:01] not sure [01:01] luxurymode: oh and the big one, how much you want to upgrade in the future [01:01] raid works perfect with real hardware controller or only softwrae [01:01] my issue right now is ubu wont recognize my graphics [01:01] but avoid those semi raid chips [01:02] which is weird because i have just intel onboard right now [01:02] ok i want to start from scratch again [01:02] after not finding much on the net about this issue I am asking here ... I am trying to use my BT mouse in 10.10 .. problem is that after each and every reboot I have to re-sync the mouse ... also after replacing batteries the mouse has to be re-synced ... [01:03] Pawmaniac, honestly my real goal here is to build a machine that is relatviely cheap compared to pre-built, but still a solid machine built MY way. I happen to have a boss Dell XPS right now which has a freakin huge tower, tons of space, etc. But I'd love the learning experience of building a machine from scratch. I don't even mind if I end up spending $1000+, but I'd like it to be alot better than pre-built $1000 machine. Ge [01:03] t what I'm sayin? [01:03] i have somehow mad two directories that i would like to delete and start again. are media/sf_music and media/ win7-shared [01:03] how do i kill them?? [01:04] rm / [01:04] schnuffle - -R? [01:04] yes but first he should have the path right :) [01:04] luxurymode: From personal experience, custom self built machine has additional markup so spec wise it might actually not compare to a Brand name built system of the same cost, instead you get a machine that will probably be easier to fix in the future and is probably more upgrade friendly. [01:05] rm -R /path? or no [01:05] luxurymode: there is a lot out there to choose from [01:05] Diamondcite, the pre-built might end up being more upgrade friendly? [01:05] so dor me it would be rm -fR ... [01:05] luxurymode: Pre-built is less upgrade/repair friendly, but is maybe higher spec. [01:05] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 on an asus f3jc (hda intel soundcard) and whenever i hear some sounds like pidgin's log in sound it makes some kind of short-timed noise. can someone help me? [01:05] Pawmaniac, right. I guess I want ultra-upgradability. pretty decent graphics. lotta RAM, huge HDs, etc [01:06] Diamondcite, right. was confused... [01:06] luxurymode: give me a minuet and ill throw together a list of parts for a barebone [01:06] keeps telling me i dont have permission [01:06] or no such directory [01:06] Diamondcite, any way to get semi-prebuilt where its very upgradeable. maybe just a tower, power supply and motherboard? [01:06] what was your command? [01:06] Pawmaniac, thank you sir! [01:07] rmdir /media/sf_music [01:07] thanks for your help people [01:07] this is doing my head in [01:07] hey, i know theres a bunch of information out there on this (that's actually part of the problem) but i'm trying to get my intel 82865G integrated graphics working so I can get a proper screen resolution. i have the intel drivers installed and everything but no dice... [01:07] luxurymode: Anything Non-mass oem brandname might turn out better? Dell, HP machines are not upgradeable ^_^ [01:07] Hello, here ! Can i ask for a help with GRUB ? [01:07] do you see it with: ls -l /media [01:07] is that a cmd [01:07] Diamondcite, gotcha. only thing ive ever done to my dell is add a third HD [01:08] Why is my name like that? [01:08] im green as so baby steps [01:08] rich which distro [01:08] BiDDo these are all commands in terminal [01:08] Diamondcite, Pawmaniac btw keep in mind that ii would need a custom case that looks exactly like this http://goo.gl/CIaqP [01:08] schnuffle: ubu 10.10 [01:08] ok [01:09] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 on an asus f3jc (hda intel soundcard) and whenever i hear some sounds like pidgin's log in sound it makes some kind of short-timed noise. can someone help me? [01:09] BiDDo: type "sudo rmdir /(FolderYouWantToDelete)" [01:09] luxurymode: That case probably costs more than some of the parts inside it? [01:09] luxurymode: wow. that is the ugliest case i have ever seen. [01:09] yeah. kidding... LOL [01:09] ok ls cmd comes up total 44 [01:09] just searched for the most retarded one i could find... [01:10] rhys@rhys-VirtualBox:~$ ls -l /media [01:10] total 44 [01:10] drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 40960 2011-01-02 18:28 sf_music [01:10] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-01-03 10:09 Win7-Shared [01:10] by the way, luxurymode - that case makes me want to cry [01:10] pastebin! | Biddo [01:10] the whole screen [01:10] ?? [01:10] richgilberto, lol yea me too. wowsers, right? [01:10] Come check out the topic at #dhaivatrocks!! [01:10] or in future [01:10] biddo, the relevant parts. always [01:11] dont paste multiple lines and flood the channel ;) [01:11] ok [01:11] gotcha [01:11] paste.ubuntu.com [01:11] will do in future [01:11] schnuffle1: any ideas of something good to use? i think making an xorg.conf seems a little patchy (and it didn't work anyway) [01:12] why is this so damn hard [01:12] I tried xrandr to insert new modes manually but couldn't get something that properly filled the screen [01:13] s5s: so i removed network-manager and edited my /etc/network/interfaces file but it isnt connecting automatically. [01:13] to mount the share your command sgould be: sudo mount -t vboxsf /media/sf_music [01:13] greetings everyone! [01:13] hey - I'm on Windows, and I just got Virtual Box and am about to get Ubuntu on it [01:14] which is better, mp3 or ogg format in terms of quality? [01:14] luxurymode: oh, are you nvidia/ati? [01:14] The best way would be to delete your custom config and recreate one [01:14] yayah i deleted one [01:14] I clicked to install... and now I've reached this page that says "Allocate drive space." One of the options says "Erase and use the entire disk." This won't hurt my normal OS - the Windows stuff, right? [01:14] now just the sf_music [01:14] Pawmaniac, my current machine is, yes. [01:15] it tells me resource busy on the sf [01:15]  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:15] daze21: If you are in Virtualbox, you had to set up a disk for the install [01:15] schnuffle1: i did that [01:15] luxurymode: nvidia OR ati [01:15] msandoy: yeah... I think I did... [01:16] daze21: Does it not state a certain size of the disk in question? [01:16] schnuffle1: didn't seem to work out, still doesn't recognize my card or monitor [01:16] luurymode: or do you not care [01:16] msandoy: where? on the page that says "Allocate...etc." [01:16] ? [01:16] Hm, have you installed the xorg intel driver? [01:16] daze21: Yes, on that page.. [01:16] Pawmaniac, ATI Radeon [01:16] msandoy: no, it doesn't [01:16] Pawmaniac, little confused bc BIOS is somehow linked with nvidia [01:17] daze21: Moment, I'll start up an install in VB.. [01:17] schnuffle1: It seems to have installed on installation [01:17] Pawmaniac, sort of a noob with vid stuff [01:17] im also having ati radeon problems. [01:17] Hello, I need some help with GRUB . After installation on PC with WinXP Ubuntu 10.10 I can't load XP . XP is in GRUB menu but it didn't starts with it. Anyone know what it can be ? [01:17] schnuffle1: or at least that's what software center says [01:17] luxurymode: ATi is tha way to! [01:17] jimibusch, im not having problems with it. though if you're having problems in ubuntu you proll need to install ATI catalyst [01:17] daze21: In Virtualbox, you started by choosing New from top left? [01:17] Pawmaniac, er...huh? [01:18] rich: Seems :) check it to be sure, finally I'll start vbox and ubuntu, apparently this seems to create a lot of probs [01:18] msandoy: yes [01:18] daze21: Ok, lets work from there.. [01:18] yup, there's that little checkmark [01:18] msandoy: I got this virtual box running for something called Ubuntu; and its OS Type is Ubuntu [01:18] schnuffle1: *yep, it's installed [01:19] You then gave it a name, and chose Ubuntu as OS? [01:19] I had to get this .iso file from online [01:19] yes [01:19] luxurymode: sorry, left off go, ATi is the way to Go! [01:19] after not finding much on the net about this issue I am asking here ... I am trying to use my BT mouse in 10.10 .. problem is that after each and every reboot I have to re-sync the mouse ... also after replacing batteries the mouse has to be re-synced ... [01:19] can anyone direct me too a room that i can ask about ati and linux? so i don't flood this room? [01:19] Then you accepted or changed the ammount of RAM, right? [01:20] zetheroo: care to share the name of the device? [01:20] Pawmaniac, honestly, my current machine is pretty boss. a linux admin said the disk speed was like crazy fast and machine is faster than the servers he works with it at hostgator. [01:20] msandoy: I did everything step-by-step that was said here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox [01:20] when i am opening a web named musicindiaonline.com it says that proxy/firewall detected.....trying alternative connection method. This problem starts today.how to resolve this [01:21] luxurymode: what disks do you use? [01:21] luxurymode: ok... so a no go? [01:21] ok so what does a little x symbol on a folder mean [01:21] richgilberto: the mouse? [01:21] luxury: you get the most speed/money investing in a SSD for the OS disk [01:21] zetheroo: yeah, the mouse [01:21] schnuffle1: +1 [01:21] This speeds up the whole thing a lot [01:21] help me! [01:21] daze21: Ok, if you followed this, and chose to create a new hard drive, you are good to go.. [01:21] schnuffle1: did you see the 24 SSD array video :) [01:21] Next thing RAM and only big CPU if you have some numbercrunching going on [01:22] richgilberto: logitech [01:22] I have a $300 laptop with a $100 SSD that feels like an $800 laptop. :) [01:22] :) [01:22] daze21: Let ubuntu use the complete drive, that is the easy sollution. [01:22] richgilberto: M/N: M-RCQ142 [01:22] luxurymode: I put a SSD in a new iMac for a music venue to record HD video of concerts - crazy low latency ^_^ [01:22] transcoding MPEG2 to h.264 still makes me angry. [01:22] msandoy: okay. so I'm going to choose the "Erase and use the entire disk" option... [01:22] bind9+dhcp3 or dnsmasq (for multiple lan) [01:22] I installed a SSD on a customer laptop and the customer couldn't believe the difference [01:22] when i am opening a web named musicindiaonline.com it says that proxy/firewall detected.....trying alternative connection method. This problem starts today.how to resolve this [01:22] whatz your advice [01:23] I'd just get a tonne of RAM, Linux will use the free ram for cache so will eventually get most of the OS in ram which is faster than any SSD as they still only give 300MB/s [01:23] date12: thiss will dleete windows [01:23] This thing reboots from desktop -> cold -> desktop in about 32 seconds. [01:23] daze21: this will delete your win install [01:23] Alright let's spark a debate... Ubuntu one. Thoughts? [01:24] Karaya1: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support, thanks. [01:24] richgilberto: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/428/3287?WT.z_sp=Image [01:24] schnuffle1: um what? msandoy is he right? [01:24] Thanks [01:24] Ubuntu One nice idea bad license, so no go for me [01:24] zetheroo: do you have a bluetooth dongle or is it internal? [01:24] richgilberto: but the BT receiver is just some generic Chinese thing ... [01:24] daze21: As long as you followed the instructions from that site, and you had the same screens, Virtualbox will not damage your computer. [01:24] schnuffle1: I'm running it in a virtual box [01:24] msandoy: okay... :) [01:25] zetheroo: so we're not sure if it's the mouse or the dongle that's the issue, right? [01:25] ActionPa1snip, does linux use the free ram for cache by default or do you have to set something so it does so? I just upgraded from 2gb to 4gb and I see no performance gain. [01:25] richgilberto: sounds right [01:25] KimLaroux: have you created tmpfs for your caches? [01:25] Aaaahhh, okay uuufs than you can just take the while drive, using seperate partitions and LVM is not necessary if you don't know for what it can be good [01:25] richgilberto: though both devices are active they do not re-sync automatically [01:26] ActionPa1snip, SATA 2 RAID 0 With Dual 500GB Hard Drives [01:26] is there a big number on the bottom of the mouse? perhaps separated by colons? [01:26] richgilberto, sweet [01:26] zetheroo: is there a big number on the bottom of the mouse? perhaps separated by colons? [01:26] hey guys what does an X on a file folder mean??? [01:26] cowboydren, I can't recall "creating" such a thing... is it like swap? [01:26] richgilberto: you mean like a MAC addresS? [01:26] Pawmaniac, no i still wanna do it, i mainly want to learn from it. so main thing really is to build something very upgradeable. [01:26] ActionPa1snip: I'm running with 4gb of ram and It never goes above 1GB usage, so it might of been as fast as It could be at 2GB [01:26] KimLaroux: first, you're running a 64-bit installation, right? [01:26] Pawmaniac, just kinda wanted some suggestions for general guidelines [01:26] zetheroo: yessir [01:27] richgilberto: BT Address ... yes there is one on the mouse [01:27] cowboydren, yes [01:27] what is it [01:27] I want to buy a wireless network adaptor that is capable of wireless N 2 and 5 Ghz, I have a netgear dual band router (WNDR3700) is the netgear USB wireless adaptor supported? I am thinking not but I want something robust and fast that will work well with my router. I have exceeded my limit of frustration trying to get my old linksys wireless adaptor to work with ubuntu only to be knocked out when I update [01:27] KimLaroux: gimme a sec [01:27] NixGeek: if you run: free you will see a lot of it is being used for disk cache === david is now known as Guest12982 [01:27] richgilberto: 00:07:61:cf:06:a6 [01:27] cowboydren, take all your time, thanks for the tip =D [01:27] Pawmaniac, so far you think AMD may be better than intel, 6 core is boss, ATI is the way to go.... [01:27] Hello, my name is Michael, and I am new to Ubuntu. I normally use Quassel (quassel-irc.org/downloads) as my main IRC client, but I can't seem to find a version of Quassel for Ubuntu 10.10. If anyone is able to assist me, that would be appreciated. Thank you. [01:28] Bluetooth in (a fresh install of) maverick isn't prompting my phone for a pin for pairing. Is there something else i need to install for this to happen? [01:28] NixGeek: the kernel realises unused ram is wasted ram so caches a lot of stuff off the disk, but frees it if real apps are executed [01:28] MJ94, screw that. XChat. [01:28] luarymode: ok then, well i wold go with a mobo with LOTS of slots [01:28] MJ94_: try: apt-cache policy quassel [01:28] luxurymode: if the user likes it, let them use what they want. Linux is about choice [01:28] okay, so what we need to do is add a line somewhere on startup that looks something like "hidd --connect 00:07:61:cf:06:a6" [01:28] KimLaroux: look at steps 2 and 3 here [01:28] http://itezer.com/blog/ubuntu-linux/125-Four_Tweaks_for_Using_Ubuntu_with_SSD.html [01:28] ActionPa1snip, you're right. was just being a bra [01:28] t [01:29] ActionPa1snip: it still says i've got over 2GB free, but I didn't know that and it seems like a great feature [01:29] brat* [01:29] Hey all, can i open another gnome session on tty1? [01:29] * cowboydren would like to be a bra sometimes... [01:29] NixGeek: it is :) [01:29] Pawmaniac, right. what do i look for in a mobo (besides the extensibility)? [01:29] KimLaroux, do you use Firefox or Chrome? [01:30] Pawmaniac, memory, SCSI vs. EIDE, etc... [01:30] richgilberto: I have to go out for a couple hours ... will you still be around for a while? [01:31] msandoy: okay everything's good =) [01:31] cowboydren, Chrome [01:31] daze21: Nice... [01:31] luxurymode: usb 3.0, sata 3.0, crossfire capability, multiple PCI-E slots along with regular PCI slots [01:31] zetheroo: probably not, but here: the name of your mouse is Logitech V470. Cross reference that with "ubuntu" and you'll find lots of useful info [01:31] KimLaroux: add something like this to your /etc/fstab and reboot [01:31] tmpfs /home/jon/.cache/google-chrome tmpfs defaults 0 0 [01:31] daze21: Now you can play around with it, and learn how it works before you do a dual boot install.. [01:31] richgilberto: thanks for the help ... ;) [01:31] (replace jon with your username) [01:32] I have what may seem an off question, is there a way to make the panel a fixed width without making it run edge to edge? [01:32] i am starting to get ready to smash giving me the shits [01:32] ActionPa1snip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549681/ [01:32] Pawmaniac, ok awesome. what would be a healthy amount of slots? [01:32] cowboydren, I'll try that out, thanks! [01:33] BiDDo: are you still trying to delete a directory? [01:33] KimLaroux: going from 2gb to 4gb isn't really much of a performance upgrade until you put that other space to use, like putting /tmp and a user cache into it. [01:33] msandoy: yayyyy. I'm glad to finally start learning/using ubuntu. I need this. But is there a quick keyboard shortcut to run firefox or terminal? [01:33] Pawmaniac, crossifre is for ATI, allowing multiple GPUs? [01:33] yeah [01:33] daze21: alt+f2 "firefox" ? [01:33] anyone else experiencing a nasty memory leak with Chomium under unbuntu? [01:33] BiDDo: did you even open the terminal yet? [01:33] daze21: ctrl+alt+t is terminal [01:33] cowboydren, well it's the type of thing I thought was done automatically... what other things can I shove into my ram? [01:33] msandoy: oh that's good! thanks! [01:33] Hi all! I've got an unusal problem. Here's my situation: I have two network cards, eth0 (internet) and eth3 (lan). Programs such as Transmission and Apache2 work fine, however, I can not any sort of internet connectivity such as firefox or apt-get on the server. I can access the internet just fine using another computer on my network. Also, I have noticed that NetworkManager seems to be... [01:34] daze21: I usually make shortcuts.. [01:34] think it is somehow linked to windows and it wont allow the delete trying to disable the share through vbox now and force removing it [01:34] then I will start from scratch trying to link it again and but it into the home folder rather that dir [01:34] KimLaroux: it's really that you're starting with such a large amount in the first place... [01:34] daze21: Rightclick the items in the applications list, and choose add to panel or add to desktop.. [01:34] msandoy: okay. I was jw, b/c on windows I could just hit windows key + down and then enter, you know? [01:34] ... disabled on this server, and I am also using a firewall program named Firestarter (which I've had no problems before) All I have done is switched out a bad NIC for a new one. [01:34] et [01:34] Hello, my name is Michael, and I am new to Ubuntu. I normally use Quassel (quassel-irc.org/downloads) as my main IRC client, but I can't seem to find a version of Quassel for Ubuntu 10.10. If anyone is able to assist me, that would be appreciated. Thank you. I have ran apt-cache policy and the results can be found here (http://paste.ubuntu.com/549681/). [01:34] i hope you guys can assist in the sharing cmds [01:34] this is greattttttttttt [01:34] daze21: ? [01:34] luxarymode: 2 PCi-E minimum for unreadability 4 if you want to go all out 2 regular PCI, and yes crossfire links the GPUs together so they can work in conjugation [01:35] cowboydren, what do you mean? [01:35] MJ94: pretty sure quassel has an ubuntu version [01:35] Oh, and I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.04 [01:35] it keeps telling me that I dont have the permission to access or delete this sf_file [01:35] cowboydren: yeah, I knew about the alt+f2, but that's just running, not a shortkey... [01:35] WTF!!!!! [01:35] KimLaroux: Can you help me find it? [01:35] daze21: Well, I only have windows in virtualbox, not using it for anything else than troubble tracing. [01:35] !info quassel | MJ94 [01:35] MJ94: quassel (source: quassel): KDE/Qt-based IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.7.1-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 775 kB, installed size 2764 kB [01:35] ayeka: Jaunty is dead [01:35] ayeka: your dns config is mest up eather your not geting dhcp service or you have a static ip without seting /etc/resolv.conf [01:35] ctrl+alt and ctrl+shift+alt with arrow keys are cool.... [01:36] BiDDo: maybe you should close the programs that are using the directory. [01:36] MJ94: sudo apt-get install quassel that should do it. [01:36] lovely. I can't seem to update due to this internet problem I'm having. [01:36] You can customize all keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu to your own liking. [01:36] BiDDo: prefix the command with sudo [01:36] KimLaroux: 2GB is a LOT. You can run Ubuntu 10.10 in as little as 512mb, but you'll be hitting the swap a lot. 2GB gives you a lot of headroom. Adding 2 more (or 4, or 14) just isn't that much of an improvement by itself. [01:36] ayeka: there are no jaunty updaes, it's EOL [01:36] KM0201: I've seen that, but I don't know what it means. [01:36] okay, let me look at the /etc/resolv.conf [01:36] is that eth### dependent? [01:36] MJ94: open a terminal.. and type "sudo apt-get install quassel" no quotes, hit enter, then type your password and hit enter... watch in awe.. :) [01:37] ayeka: no, resolv.conf applies to all interfaces [01:37] just curious... what does "ls" stand for? list? [01:37] KimLaroux: I have already put /tmp and two Chrome user caches (both users logged in) in RAM, and I'm barely hitting swap. [01:37] KM0201: I did that right before you typed it. Thanks. ;) [01:37] ayeka: both cards in DHCP mode? If yes then one overrides the routing infos of the other [01:37] Mem: 3794888 3754944 39944 0 56076 1770796 [01:37] cowboydren, well, I develop programs for microcontrolers and I often had the 2gb filled up during my work [01:37] daze21: i think so [01:37] daze21: LiSt, yeah. [01:37] hmm, strange, The only difference between yesterday and today was that I swiched out interface cards. Eth2 was bad, eth3 is the new card [01:37] sudo stands for "super user do" right? [01:37] Pawmaniac, gotta have the old PCI for good measure? [01:37] Hey is there anyone that can assist in my graphics issue? maybe in private chat as not to bother others? [01:37] both STATIC [01:37] MJ94_: no prob... are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [01:37] daze21: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts should keep you occupied for a while. :-) [01:37] daze21: Switch User DO, but close enough. [01:37] msandoy: heavennnn [01:38] KM0201: The former. [01:38] daze21: yes [01:38] daze21: ls is the same as dir in DOS. [01:38] Bidd: when you do a sudo mount does your share shows up? [01:38] !info intel [01:38] Package intel does not exist in maverick [01:38] daze21: yes [01:38] Pawmaniac, unreadability? [01:38] daze21: Only much more advanced.. [01:38] Flannel: wait it is? "Switch User" ? that's interesting... I thought it was Super User? [01:38] MJ94_: system/admin/synaptic package manager... is an easy to use GUI tool, you can search it for packages using the search feature [01:38] well ppl are saying super user... okay === Freejack is now known as Guest21411 [01:38] msandoy: how is it advanced? [01:38] daze21: su is switch user, if no name is given, it defaults to root. Which will fail in a standard ubuntu install [01:38] Now if I could just find a decent MPEG4 encoder. Handbrake is great, but it's soooo slooooooow. [01:38] KM0201: Thanks! [01:38] MJ94_: no prob [01:39] luxurymode: you could get by without them, but no sound cards or networks cards [01:39] daze21: so if you have multiple users you can run: su foo and the commands you run will be as foo [01:39] daze21: open terminal and type man ls [01:39] ActionPa1snip: thanks!! [01:39] Pawmaniac, oh i want those. lol [01:39] MJ94_: and in case it wasn't clear... you can also use synaptic to install packages w/ a few clicks (synaptic is basically a GUI front for apt-get) [01:39] What does foo mean? [01:39] Mm... who know how to load WinXp in GRUB ? [01:39] max_sharpe: foo is just kind of filler [01:40] KM0201: Thank you. :) [01:40] max_sharpe: it's just used as a filler, like xyz or something [01:40] max_sharpe: its a commonly used word for names or variables in linux-land, another is bar [01:40] fubar [01:40] richgilberto: exactly [01:40] KM0201: /me watches in awe ;) [01:40] oohhhhh [01:40] ayeka: does dns resolving work? [01:40] #gnucash [01:40] max_sharpe: you'll see foo and bar all over the place [01:40] msandoy: getting there... [01:40] WOW [01:40] Pawmaniac, speaking of sound cards. i want awesome sound. [01:40] yeah i just wondered if it actually mean something [01:40] You know what's amazing to me?? [01:40] speaking of FUBAR, my computer... [01:41] if you want awesome sound then you want awesome speakers [01:41] MJ94_: only thing is, Quassel is a KDE app, it's gonna require a ton of KDE dependencies(not a big deal in the whole scheme of things)... xchat is another popular IRC client for linux. [01:41] This laptop I'm on... it doesn't have a sound card or something, so it could never, ever play sound!! Every youtube video, every movie, video game, etc.... no sound. [01:41] But when I boot Ubuntu, it plays SOUND. wow. howwwww [01:41] KM0201, negative , in synaptic there is a version that has no kde dep [01:41] daze: usb sound [01:41] could someone be so kind as to point me to an up to date list of ubuntu compatible wireless network adaptors. [01:41] I'm on smuxi - it doesn't seem too bad [01:41] DogoDave: it's easier to list the ones that -don't- work. [01:41] r00t4rd3d: is that right?... hmm, !info listed it as a KDE app.. [01:42] !hcl | DogoDave [01:42] DogoDave: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:42] It's clearly not 1999 anymore. :) [01:42] msandoy: ohhh so "man" is like manual :) [01:42] !info smuxi [01:42] smuxi (source: smuxi): graphical IRC client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-1build2 (maverick), package size 9 kB, installed size 56 kB [01:42] daze they make usb and pmcia sound cards [01:42] luxurymode: got to have speakers that can output that sound now, but ya SPUs are no big deal as long as you dont want to record [01:42] daze21: Remember to get the virtualbox guest additions, and install them in your ubuntu vb. this makes resizing the screen alot better, and mouse and keyboard grab becomes seemless. [01:42] DogoDave: try get one with a broadcom 43xx chip and you can install the driver using the hardware manager app [01:43] cowboydren lol [01:43] KM0201: I wanted just the client, not the monolithic client. :) [01:43] daze21: Yes, you can type man, then any kind of linux command. [01:43] How do I uninstall and get just the client, KM0201 ? [01:43] richgilberto: i like smuxi's icon... because then i don't have people thinking the "xchat" icon on my desktop is somehow a pornographic chat program [01:43] im at the splash screen for ubuntu 10.10 i hit enter and choose english and then iit goes back to ubuntu splash with the 5 dots underneath and doesnt go any further, i have made several iso. is there a problem with the iso on the ubuntu site? [01:43] im at the splash screen for ubuntu 10.10 i hit enter and choose english and then iit goes back to ubuntu splash with the 5 dots underneath and doesnt go any further, i have made several iso. is there a problem with the iso on the ubuntu site?? [01:43] MJ94_: i'm not really sure what you just said. [01:43] woops sorry for the 2 pastes [01:43] ubuntuu: did you MD5 test the ISO you made the CD with? [01:43] KM0201: HA! then again, nobody ventures into my lair anyway... [01:43] KM0201: PM? [01:44] Thank you will check that out [01:44] ubuntuu: more likely that the burned image is corrupted or that you have a real hardware problem. [01:44] MJ94_: everything you just installed, is required to install/run quassel [01:44] msandoy: oh I see how it's way more powerful... [01:44] MJ94_: sure if you want [01:44] schnuffle1 nope [01:44] o [01:44] k [01:44] ubuntuu: it's a question...did you? [01:44] ill check my hardware i do have a 1tb drive for ubuntu and a 2tb drive for backup [01:44] richgilberto: i know, believe me..lol.. i got asked that question like 10x, so i kept xchat, renamed it "IRC" in the menu and on the desktop, and changed the icon to the smuxi icon.. no more qustions. [01:44] no [01:44] Pawmaniac, right. i think my sound is pretty good now, just dont have great speakers [01:44] i didnt md5 it [01:44] hi [01:45] ubuntuu: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent?? [01:45] Oke than what happens when you do a sudo rm -fR /media/sf_music? [01:45] !md5 | ubuntuu [01:45] ubuntuu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:45] Pawmaniac, dont even know what the heck sound card i have. realtek? or is that the codecs... [01:45] Is there a shortcut to getting that tomboy note thing to open? [01:45] casue it booted right to the cd [01:45] hi [01:45] I mean, some default shortcut... [01:45] ill give it a go [01:45] here is what im looking at when trying to open it fyi [01:45] http://imagebin.org/130715 [01:45] Pawmaniac, some ALC888 thing... [01:45] ty for the help [01:45] yw [01:45] ill check thos issues [01:45] ubuntuu: doesn't matter there could be bit errors throughout the cd which may affect the install but the initial boot data may be ok [01:45] => I think rm means remove [01:45] brb [01:46] luxurymode: i once wanted to get MIDI to go with my Reason/Cubase rewire system. i ended up getting a $350 SPU, after about a week of looking and comparing [01:46] ubuntuu: there is also the ability to test the CD for defects, did you run that? [01:46] => Make sure you know what your doing when you run that command [01:46] Bidd: do a sudo chmod 777 /mdeia/sf_music and try agaon [01:46] Pawmaniac, wowsers. i dont need anything that insane [01:46] daze21: Search around on the internet for "The linux command line.pdf", it is a free book explaining everything. [01:46] Pawmaniac, whats the damage thus far to do this? [01:46] !manual | msandoy [01:46] Pawmaniac, sec... [01:46] msandoy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:46] msandoy: thank you. [01:46] Ston I know :) [01:47] I'm having trouble playing dvds. It only gives the error message "Read Error From: Error reading from DVD." Any suggestions? [01:47] mouse, have you installed the restricted extras? [01:47] mouse: libdvdcss installed? [01:48] Pawmaniac, my current graphics is AMD Radeon 4850 Dual [01:48] mouse: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [01:48] Pawmaniac, sorry ATI === root is now known as Guest80341 [01:48] daze21: np [01:48] Guest80341: running an irc client as root is really a BAD idea [01:48] luxurymode: thats some killer graphics already [01:48] I hope KimLaroux comes back soon... [01:48] ActionPa1snip, please explain in detail why [01:49] Any good links for a noob learning linux? [01:49] Pawmaniac, yea. games are pretty ridiculous on here. [01:49] schnuffle1, coz_, ActionPa1snip, Thank you. Just didn't know what name to look for. [01:49] Pawmaniac, though i dont care about games as much [01:49] sploge: depends on what you wanna learn [01:49] whast the command to see which video card i'm using (i have dual video cards on my laptop) [01:49] absolute basics to start with [01:49] lspci [01:49] r00t4rd3d, lspci lists both cards [01:50] r00t4rd3d: the app has the access of root, so if the app / process gets captured by an attacker then the attacker will gain the priiveledges of the account. If it is ran by user then it will only get user rights which are significantly more limited [01:50] krunal: lspci -v will tell you what's available. Best to get into X and use it's tools. [01:50] hello, does anyone use unetbootin here? [01:50] sidracer: i've used it quite a few times [01:50] KM0201: and it worked? [01:50] sidracer: it's always worked for me just fine [01:51] cowboydren, http://pastebin.com/bTJjxFyi [01:51] KM0201: just tried it... same old thing doesn't work [01:51] KM0201: don't believe it [01:51] sidracer: whats it doing? [01:51] Is it normal that "cd" is case sensitive? the windows cmd wasn't... [01:51] worst program ever [01:51] sidracer: you're using it on a netbook i assume? [01:51] schnuffle1: pm [01:51] krunal: does X start? [01:51] when was it created? [01:51] Pawmaniac, what about motherboard in terms of HD speed (GB/s) supported? i want faaast disk. im used to it now. cant go back [01:51] richgilberto: no [01:51] sidracer: it's not the worst program ever, it works fine, you're just having some sort of issue out of it. [01:51] desktop and yes, my mobo supports usb boot up [01:52] cowboydren, how do i see if X is started [01:52] Pawmaniac, any support for 6gb/s is good? [01:52] hi [01:52] Well, are you using a text console or graphical apps right now? [01:52] i think it's more than 5 yrs old and does same thing [01:52] r00t4rd3d: running many web apps as root is pretty dumb, like web browsers running as root can be vulnerable to malicious code and such, again if a nasty javascript or flash app trys to access stuff then it will have the access of the running user [01:52] luxurymode: Dude; that's fast. [01:52] i followed instructions to add iso and it displayed the three steps with final one to reboot... [01:53] daze21: linux is case sensitive for everything [01:53] but, when i reboot and load the usb stick... it has a screen with unetbootin title [01:53] ActionPa1snip: thanks. and is there a difference between " and '? what about / and \ ? [01:53] cowboydren, yea. i dont even know what my current motherboard supports. but its fast as anything [01:53] unetbootin is designed for ubuntu, right? [01:53] sidracer: not necessarily, its designed for linux [01:53] sidracer: what are your specs [01:53] luxurymode: ok i have i general idea of what i would do, been a wile sense i went hardware searching, as my current is beast, but a last year [01:54] i want to play a dvd in ubuntu, solution? [01:54] KM0201: oh, come on [01:54] I looked at the home page of the developers and it's ubuntu based [01:54] !nonfree >kaddi_ [01:54] kaddi_, please see my private message [01:54] sidracer: what?... you do realize Ubuntu isn't the only linux derivative out there don't you? [01:54] luxurymode: I just got a 64GB SSD for $99 at Microcenter, and I just couldn't be happier. [01:54] yes, so? [01:54] they branched off after the ubuntu-based design [01:54] sidracer: my point is, its not just for ubuntu, it's for a lot of different distros [01:54] cowboydren: you serious? buy me 15 [01:55] but, it's ubuntu centric [01:55] luxurymode: richgilberto: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7798765&l=1f3777c7c0&id=589130933 [01:55] luxurymode: HD speed is determined my the HD, not the mobo [01:55] sidracer: ok, if you say so. [01:55] hi [01:55] thethinker: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [01:55] richgilberto: my hardware is not the problem [01:55] thethinker, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and also run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [01:55] i have a quad core processor [01:55] sidracer: then if your hardware is not the problem, then there's another issue, and its likely not unetbooting, because i've used it many tiems w/o issue [01:56] i've tried it many times always with an issue [01:56] /quit [01:56] sidracer: then you have an issue obviously [01:56] i thought maybe they fixed it by now but nope [01:56] ActionPa1snip, can u help? i have nvidia optimus (2 video cards....nvidia and intel) - how do i see which one i'm currently using [01:56] sidracer: then it's the software's fault. you're right. is this what you've come in here to be told? [01:56] sidracer, you could always try pendrive linux's Universal USB Installer [01:56] luxurymode: and if you wonder if that's fast, on your machine in gnome, run System -> Administration -> Disk Utility -> Benchmark [01:56] krunal, disable the nvidia in the bios and use the intel [01:57] r00t4rd3d: oh, pendrive linux site? oh, yeah [01:57] coz_, there is no option to disable the nvidia.... i know i shouldn't have got this video card but no choice now [01:57] isn't there a How To on ubuntu.com of how to make a bootable usb drive without using other software? [01:57] i haven't been to that site in a while...it's an idea, thianks [01:57] luxurymode: like this HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 [01:57] hi [01:57] krunal, oooo open terminal paste this command lspci | grep -i vga [01:58] i usually use cd or dvds for live media because the usb programs are so buggy especially unetbootin [01:58] coz_: what next? [01:58] i've tried it in both linux and windows... problems in both [01:58] thethinker, is t his 64 bit or 32 bit? [01:58] coz_: 64 [01:58] hey I'm having problems with my screen goes out all the icons buttions and such wont show up this is very anoying im using nivida drivers on lts with 64pro any ideas or solutions? [01:59] sidracer: have you considered that possibly, your thumb drive is the issue? [01:59] hi [01:59] coz_, http://pastebin.com/xF7bGMye [01:59] my thumb drive works fine but thanks [01:59] Therstrium, scroll to bottom of page http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w64codecs.html download the w32codecs and install them ...that should be it [01:59] Concerning the problem with playing dvds, do I need to restart before these changes will take affect because they seem to be making no affect now. [01:59] what is a good simple command line podcast program? [01:59] sidracer: i have one thumb drive that "works fine".. but will not work w/ unetbootin, thats why i asked.. but you seem to have all the answers, so good luck w/ your problem [01:59] krunal, are you sure there is no way in the bio to disable that nvidia ?? [02:00] coz_, yea i'm sure [02:00] krunal, I assume this is a laptop? [02:00] coz_, yes.. laptop. I want to use the nvidia only [02:00] cowboydren, 64 gb's kinda small, no? [02:00] hi [02:00] cowboydren, i have a terabyte right now [02:00] luxurymode: no. [02:00] hey brain [02:00] finally [02:00] ive been saying hi for an hour [02:01] hey brain [02:01] :) [02:01] luxurymode: and then this mobo www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131647 [02:01] i dont have any questions [02:01] luxurymode: you use the 64 for the OS and apps, you put your data (video, music) somewhere else. Don't put data that you're going to read and write a lot on an SSD unless it's dedicated to that purpose. What do you want the speed for, specifically? [02:01] cowboydren, the idea is great and it does seem to help with performance... only problem is; my /home is encrypted, so I cannot mount somthing inside it before it's decrypted... [02:02] i don't have the answers... except for my experience being unetbootin is no good [02:02] KimLaroux: I forgot that bit. [02:02] cowboydren, oh oh. gotcha. just mount a diff disk for your real data. gotcha [02:02] so my display drivers keep going in and out and I cant see anything [02:02] esto no es el irc hispano., no?? [02:02] krunal you will have to blacklist the nvidia I believe [02:02] muerto_en_vida: no, #ubuntu-es si [02:02] cowboydren, dont need major speed just so used to crazy fast disk that i dont wanna notice any real difference. im spoiled! [02:03] ok when I do sudo apt-get install x*, why does it treat it like I did *x*? [02:04] Pawmaniac, those look great. [02:04] lahwran: huh? [02:04] luxurymode: If you're doing HD video capture in real time, spending lots of money on a great big SSD is necessary. My fully-functional OS drive uses less than 10GB of space at any given time. This ain't Windows Vista. [02:04] Pawmaniac, happen to know of towers that make for ease of access, etc? [02:04] Hey, Can somebody help me runing jinput on ubuntu lucid 64bit? I installed the maverick packages wich say "all architectures" and should work fine on lucid, as they told me. However there is a problem with a class named "LinuxEnvironmentPlugin"... can somebody help me? [02:04] luxurymode: the HAF case [02:04] HAF [02:05] cowboydren, right. gotta more fully appreciate linux and the beauty of mounting discs [02:05] It works great if I skip it and then manually mount it ounce I'm logged in... hmmm, is there a place I can put a command to be executed at login? [02:05] luxurymode: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225 [02:05] luxurymode: but a Benjamin buys a LOT of fun. :) [02:05] ubuntu-artwork and ubuntu-desktop are both metapackages, correct? [02:05] Pawmaniac, jesus [02:06] Pawmaniac luxurymode can you two move this convo over to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [02:06] The CoolerMaster Scout is nice, too, but kinda' funky. [02:06] Pawmaniac, sick [02:06] hello, i'm looking to make a panel button that mutes/unmutes microphone. I make screen casts and sometimes in an hour I need to cough or drink water and i'd like to be able to mute that out, without after editing [02:06] nviida display drivers screen goes in and out??? [02:06] Dribble: what release? [02:06] lucid lts [02:06] Dribble: I had trouble with that too. nVidia or X.org drivers? === herent is now known as herent-laptop [02:07] not sure [02:07] x.org i think [02:07] Dribble: $ xdpyinfo [02:07] 195.36.24 [02:08] Dribble: is turning off the nVidia driver an option, or do you -need- the acceleration? [02:08] Olson: you can add a hot key System>preference>keyboard hotkeys [02:08] I really do need it I use blender alot [02:08] Dribble: understood. [02:09] sacarlson, ok thanks i'll look in to that now :) [02:09] Dribble: since that's really an nVidia problem, I'm not sure how far you'll get. [02:09] Olson: you can do it, set up in the panel a launcher for a script that mutes/unmutes the mic, perhaps using amixer [02:10] try this in xchat /exec firefox weather.com yahoo.com msn.com [02:10] :D [02:10] Dribble: is there any chance that you can backdate to a version of the nVidia driver that didn't flicker, or has it always flickered since you put Lucid on that machine? [02:10] yeah i've been having this issue for quite a while and have tryed various attemts from online forums but It did get fixed for a while after an update then I updateed at again and it came back [02:10] I hope that doesn't go into the chat [02:10] Dribble: you may have hit a wall, friend. [02:11] It was working fine with 9.10 then after I upgraded to lucid all hell broke lose [02:11] from what I read they say its a issue with the new kernal for some reason [02:11] yeah I'm good but i'm not that good [02:12] Dribble: sounds likely. That's the thing that sucks with Free(ish) software. :-/ [02:12] thank you the setup now works [02:12] 0ne l0ve everyone [02:12] yeah do you know if that has been an issue with the 10.10 [02:12] Dribble: I'm not working on that machine anymore. :( [02:13] guampa, yah, that's what i'm looking to do, or maybe using the keyboard shortcut method sacarlson mentioned, though I dont know the command to mute microphone like that and it's not in the default keyboard shortcut menu to assign a key to [02:13] hi I used network manager to share my wireless internet with the RJ45 port, in DHCP it works but it assigns to another ip range [02:13] why [02:13] could anybody explain if this is normal plz? [02:13] Dribble: built it for a friend. Dropping ubuntu on it was just a toy, and that was a few months ago. [02:14] ahh [02:14] Olson: on my list in keyboard short cuts it's on the top called mute [02:14] does the server edition have all the guis too? or do I have to apt-get them all? [02:14] When I open blender, I get a window of static and when I run a screen saver other than blank I get static with the ati catalyst driver. It's more annoying than necessity, but I would like to have beldner working, [02:14] Core2 Duo, GT420 video, lots of fun for a few days. :) [02:14] I guess i'll have to keep reading or learn how to program a kernal :) [02:14] Dribble: hint: google "kernel," not "kernal." ;0 [02:15] ;) [02:15] sacarlson, yes.. "volume mute" i see that.. however it doesn't affect the microphone recording level i'm looking to mute [02:15] KimLaroux: so, what are you going to do about the encryption thingie? [02:16] Olson: oh your right that's for output not input mic [02:16] cowboydren, well, I thought about making it noauto but then I can't find a way to execute a command at login [02:16] KimLaroux: can you add it to /etc/rc.local? [02:16] I'm sharing internet with another network card [02:16] what is mode +j ?? [02:17] what should static IP address be plz [02:17] cowboydren, would not that make it execute during boot? [02:17] majnoon: join limits. see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [02:17] sacarlson, yeah i use ALSA anyway so i'm looking to mute the "front mic" input with some kind of command [02:17] KimLaroux: yes and no. It's done by root, and it's done after boot, not done by the kernel during boot. [02:18] can someone help me get my Ambeient Light Sensor working in 10.10 on a cr-48? [02:18] KimLaroux: just a thought. [02:18] after boot, but before login... so that is not helping, the key here is to execute it after I login [02:18] Gartral: any luck with the multi-touch? [02:18] KimLaroux: gotcha. [02:18] =) [02:19] rww just first time i seen that one [02:19] you can't upgrade from lucid to 10.10? [02:19] GeekSquid, NOPE [02:19] Seriously, out of 1331 users, nobody reading this screen knows about Handbrake replacements? ;) [02:19] 有国民吗 [02:19] handbrake replacements [02:20] guampa, can you point me in the right direction towards making alittle on/off script for muting/unmuting the microphone volume using ALSA? [02:20] Handbrake is a great tool, it's just slower than Christmas. [02:20] GeekSquid, all i've found requires either every dev on planet earth learn dbus, or me recompile my kernel, and the latter is impossible on a cr-48 [02:20] Acidrip ogmrip, i use ogmrip [02:21] schnuffle1: the kicker is that I already have all of the MPEG2 MKV files, I just want to transcode them. [02:21] it's a nice tool and supports matroska [02:21] Olson: I found it http://askubuntu.com/questions/12100/keyboard-shortcut-command-to-mute-unmute-microphone [02:21] Anyone have any ideas on getting a logitech web cam to work with ubuntu? [02:21] (and put them into an mp4 container instead of mkv) [02:21] 请问有Chinese 人？ [02:21] !cn | aiguo110 [02:21] aiguo110: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:21] sacarlson, ohh that looks like just the ticket thanks very much :) [02:22] hi all I've made a bootable USB of Ubuntu netbook 10.10 and run Wubi from within Windows but all it presents me with is two buttons one called "Demo and Full Install" and the other "Learn More". "Demo and FI" asks me to restart my computer last time I used Wubi the install happens from within Windows is this still the case? [02:22] Thank you [02:22] hey guys, can you tell me the command with i can access to the internet? [02:23] MakeMKV is a fast, robust ripper, and I like keeping the original transport streams. [02:23] Gartral: nothing is impossible, considering Gos was built from ubuntu... theory says they started with Gos when they built Chrome [02:23] boern: eth0 up? [02:23] for wlan? [02:23] somethinginteres: should be, but wubi is a mess.. i'd think about doing a "normal" install if I were you.. it's not hard. [02:24] boern: I'm being mean. But you're being vague. $ ifconfig wlan up [02:24] boern: are you asking how to start a browser, or are you having network connection problems? [02:24] hi folks, near the end of a fresh install of 10.04 amd64, grub failed to load.... instead of aborting install... i continued without a boot loader.... now, in the tryout mode on the system..... i am not seeing how to install grub.... suggestions? [02:24] cowboydren: problem is, every program that does what handbrake does uses ffmpeg or mplayer's transcode ... essentially running the same scripts [02:25] GeekSquid: blegh. Thanks for that, though. [02:25] KM0201: yeah, usually I would but I am "renting" this netbook so... [02:25] i just want to access to my wlan with the terminal [02:25] tortoise7: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:25] boern: okay. when you run "ifconfig wlan" what does it say? [02:25] ifconfig [02:26] sacarlson, yes, that does exactly what I needed, thank you so much for taking the time to seek that out for me [02:26] Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:1f:3c:55:1e:d6 [02:26] inet Adresse:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 [02:26] inet6-Adresse: fe80::21f:3cff:fe55:1ed6/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindu [02:26] somethinginteres: well it's not like you can't do a restore before you return it(which i imagine you'd do anyway) [02:26] ActionPa1snip: no windows at all.... but will go look... thanks [02:26] boern: looks like it's attached to a local network with a private IP address. [02:26] something like that [02:26] tortoise7: you do it in the livecd, nothing to do with windows at all [02:27] yes, but i need the command because i would like to start ubuntu in the terminal mode [02:27] boern: or did you manually configure that 10.0.0.1 address? [02:27] tortoise7: this is a little better: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [02:27] KM0201: Wondering how I'd be able to do that, bit of a n00b when it comes to this stuff [02:28] no i have not done any thing [02:28] ActtionPa1snip: Thanks! [02:28] somethinginteres: well, most netbooks, etc.. hve a restore partition. [02:28] boern: sounds like you're up and running. can you "ping www.google.com" ? [02:28] in the event you wanted to restore, just boot the restore partition, restore the drive to the way it was when you got it, and give it back. [02:28] KM0201: Ah OK I see this one does have a restore partition. How do you normally boot into it? [02:29] Hi all. I finally got a chance to look at my /etc/resolv.conf. There was nothing in the file besides a comment. Is my interface file correct: [02:29] cowboydren: yes i can [02:29] auto lo [02:29] guampa, thanks as well man, it's sorted :) [02:29] iface lo inet loopback [02:29] ayeka: can you ping 8.8.8.8 [02:29] not on the server [02:29] but I can from my laptop [02:29] ayeka: which system is having the issue? or is it both? [02:30] it's like my netowrk traffic passes through, but if I want to activly use my internet conection on the server it doesn't work at all [02:30] somethinginteres: usually ike f8.. or maybe f2, during boot up.. it should say when you turn the netbook on.. "press xx for restore utility" or something like that [02:30] boern: then you're up. what else do you want to know? [02:30] !ics | ayeka [02:30] ayeka: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [02:30] only the server. Transmission and apache both work fine [02:30] I'm currently using firestarter. Had no problems up until this morning when I changed out a bad NIC with a new one [02:31] KM0201: OK thanks for that. So doing a normal install I'd just tell Ubuntu netbook to "install beside" windows? [02:31] somethinginteres: yes... and just pay attention to the space you assign [02:31] hi all, & happy new year. [02:32] Have a wireless problem, question please [02:32] goodbye guampa and sacarlson thank you again, keep up the good work :) [02:32] network manager doesn't seem to work on the server either. Says that the device is not managed [02:32] any link on setting up rails3 server on ubuntu? [02:32] KM0201: OK I'll give it a whirl thanks. I've mucked around with the live CD and Unity is going to take me some time to get used to. :) [02:32] ayeka: so try at the command line sudo dhclient ethX X being the network card you plan or have hooked to the internet that has a dhcp server runing [02:33] somethinginteres: you can use a normal gnome interface if you want to... [02:33] personally, i hate unity [02:33] ha! I beat the computer. enabling xinerama instead of letting catalyst control dual screens, and everything if working! [02:33] my network is 100% staticly assigned [02:33] ayeka: ( o_o) [02:33] someone in the neighborhood has a wireless they left called "default" and ubuntu always tries to unlock it first before my own. how do I exclude it from attempting to connect to this "default" wireless? [02:33] NixGeek: wtg :) [02:33] Wxxept for the network icon in the top corner has a white background, any fix for it? [02:34] ayeka: then you will need to manualy modify your /etc/resolv.conf, if that's not it then you have a winbind problem [02:34] Condorito: remove the SSID from network manager's knowledge [02:34] what do I need to put in my resolv.conf? [02:34] ayeka:zould it be that the new card has a new name that zou haven|t configured yet_ [02:34] sacarlson: ayeka cannot ping 8.8.8.8 so it's not a dns issue [02:34] KM0201: ah, that's good to know. I like to give everything a fair chance, but the ability to change to GNOME is nice. [02:34] azeka> nameserver IPofnameserver IS THE MINIMUM [02:35] anyone use firestarter? [02:35] the old card was named eth2. the new one is eth3. i changed the name in my /etc/networking/interfaces accordingly and rebooted [02:35] ayeka: how do you connect ? [02:35] ActionPa1snip; okay, have you got a link that explains how to, please? [02:35] eth0 is the internet assigned NIC in firestarter, which is static assigned to what my ISP assigned to me [02:36] i need to allow azerus aka vuse to access the internet without having to stop the fire wall.I just dont know which port to open? [02:36] eth3 is also a static ip 192.168.1.1, is my gateway that all my other networked computers use to access the internet [02:36] ayeka: you need to put a dns ip address in it like http://www.opendns.com/ 208.67.220.220 [02:36] azeka and where does zour default gatewaz point to_ [02:36] dns-nameservers 216.68.4.10 isn't good enough in the /interfaces file? [02:37] ayeka: so you got a static, not dynamic ip, then resolv.conf needs the dns-server you want to use , f.e. the provider ones or opendns or the like [02:37] hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth [02:37] ActionPa1snip: am I on the right track with this? "gconf-editor" [02:37] help me [02:37] so then I just do: [02:37] 216.68.4.10 [02:37] 216.68.5.10 [02:37] int eh file? [02:37] ayeka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:38] anyone know which port i should open to allow azerus to connect to internet [02:38] sorry, normally I would use pastebinit, but I can't access that through the server right now [02:38] ayeka: add a line to /etc/resolv.conf with: nameserver 208.67.220.220 [02:38] hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth [02:39] ayeka: the dhclient ethX would have done all that for you [02:39] Why isn't my dvd drive showing up? [02:39] help me [02:39] I can't use the dhcp mode thoguh, because I have statically assigned ip from my isp [02:40] juniour: same problem myself. [02:40] k [02:40] ayeka: solution #2 then [02:40] Hey I made a wireless connection with the network manager applet, but I can't see how to delete it. It keeps showing up in the drop down menu. How do I get rid of that? [02:40] Any idea why my dvd drive shows up in windows but not ubuntu? [02:40] em: right click nm-applet, edit connections, wireless tab, delete it === pyrx is now known as HarryAK47 [02:41] ayeka: put a nick when replying to s.o. ; you usually don't edit resolv.conf, the ip nedds nameserver in front in that file, rather do a gateway or /etc/interfaces to set a custom one [02:41] hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth [02:41] any help [02:41] ? [02:41] ayeka: look at this for details of what is needed for static: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [02:41] KM0201: I thought that would work too, that deletes it from the list but not from the drop down menu of created wireless connections in the 'create wireless connections' menu [02:41] Jinxed check if the user in group cdrom [02:41] em: i imagine when it rescans again, it will see that its gone.

[02:53] hey i am not able to send files to mobile via bluetooth [02:53] KM0201: booted into the netbook install options presented were to manually specify partitions or to erase disk.

[02:55] Nintet, totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin or totem-xine-firefox-plugin or mozilla-mplayer [02:55] NixGeek: please don't submit useless edits to the bot [02:55] I'm trying to do a clean install of Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS from USB. I've tried both unetbootin and usb-creator-gtk and neither results in a bootable usb drive for me. I've done this process before with other versions of Ubuntu so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. [02:55] mbvpixies78: aharr, so things get easier now, switch over and work on from this box ? [02:55] like gender is a useful factoid? [02:55] KM0201: sorry the last is "(unknown)" [02:55] r00t4rd3d: that has a simple compressor? [02:55] not sure [02:56] NixGeek: I didn't say the factoid was useful. I said your edit was useless [02:56] : DasEi : yes, most definitely.. what do you recommend first? Install xfce (KDE is too bloated and slow for the old box)? [02:56] !gender [02:56] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [02:56] Hey guys, I have ubuntu 10.10 running fine on my laptop, but i just had my cdrom drive die on me, and now it won't boot cause it's looking for the cdrom. Anyone know how to manually get past grub disabling the cdrom it seems to be looking for? [02:56] r00t4rd3d: what i want is a player with a DSP compressor... like the threashold attack release gain... [02:56] * KimLaroux loves Linux. [02:56] : DasEi : Thank you btw [02:57] : DasEi : I'd never seen that command before [02:57] IdleOne: May I ask how come a useless factoid can be added, but can't be edited with something just as useless? and is it fair that the bot gets to say it's female? [02:57] NixGeek: the bot is female. why argue that fact. [02:58] kingrayray: if your booting from cdrom I assume it's a cdrom media failure [02:58] Hi all, How do I use find to filter (and maybe sort) by symlink? [02:58] mbvpixies78: specs of the box ? cpu, ram ? [02:58] NixGeek: perhaps I should have been a little less rude. In the future could you please make edit request that are useful/helpful. [02:58] I has a lot to read, all of a sudden. singing off. thanks & bye. [02:58] i'm not booting from cdrom, the OS is installed fine- its just timing out trying to talk to the cdrom for some reason. I basically just need to come up with a custom grub entry, I think [02:58] so... is there some issue with installing server isos and trying to boot with them from USB? [02:59] DasEi : 1.7 GHz Athlon XP (2100+), 512 MB RAM [02:59] IdleOne: gladly, and I had no reason to edit it, or to argue the point, i'm sorry about that. [02:59] THANK YOU!!!! Adding nameserver 216.68.5.10 in my /etc/resolv.conf did the trick. Thank you!! [02:59] now i'm going to attempt to have the update manager upgrade my server to 10.10...or 10.04..what ever the current release is. [02:59] cowboydren bluetooth works [03:00] mbvpixies78: so nothing wrong with gnome [03:00] mbvpixies78: sudo apt-get install gdm [03:01] kingrayray: ok you installed it to hard disk but at grub2 it needs a cdrom, can you boot a live cd and pastebin the /boot/grub.lst file? [03:01] DasEi : I want to use it for a samba file server (have Win 7 box) and as a web server, btw, my hopeful goal [03:01] sacarlson: that's the problem, i cannot boot a cdrom because the drive physically died. i just need to get the system to stop looking for / trying to use it [03:02] sacarlson: i'm attempting to manually get through grub with the commandline, but i'm not sure how well it'll work [03:02] kingrayray: ok can you just unplug the cdrom drive then, it should time out at some point I would think [03:03] DasEi : returns package gdm not available [03:03] an upgrade/update question: In Update Manager, when I have the button to upgrade me to 10.x from 9.x...is that the same thing as running the following terminal command: sudo apt-get upgrade ? [03:03] sacarlson: ideally i would but i don't know how to take the laptop apart :p i guess i could look that up. when i boot the recovery mode entry, it hangs waiting for a response from a drive that the bios doesn't even see === banisterfiend is now known as horsewhisper [03:03] DasEi : update repository list? [03:04] mbvpixies78: nothing wrong with it,also can later on boot, thus gdm installed, boot in headless still [03:04] update manger [03:04] kingrayray: wow I've never seen this one [03:04] ayeka in update manager [03:04] mbvpixies78: sudo apt-get install gdm gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade === ubuntu is now known as shawn156 [03:05] normal boot drops me to busybox cause the cdrom doesn't respond (cause it's "not there") [03:05] mbvpixies78: might be some stuff :) [03:05] what is a good cd ripper like grip? That can do multiple tracks at once [03:05] ayeka settings->updates [03:05] sacarlson: i'm going to try to let it time out, it just keeps saying "please be patient" after "SRST failed (errno=-16) [03:06] in relase updates change lts to normal release then upgrade [03:06] reisio? [03:06] DasEi : ok, thnxs, brb [03:07] ayeka got it [03:07] ? [03:08] anyone know of a good like tweak the "sh***t out of ubuntu desktop".. i want to make it shine :) [03:08] kingrayray: if it ever does boot make sure you look in /etc/fstab to be sure cdrom is not set to be mounted at any time [03:08] DasEi : something's still not right-- I struck out there. "no packages available" [03:08] hello. this is say something test 123. [03:08] sacarlson: yeah that's the plan :P heck if i have to i'll pull the drive and toss it in this box and remove the line :p [03:08] right, I understand there are options to change what I can update via the update manager. I want to know is there a terminal command that I can run that does the same thing that clicking on the button for upgrading to the next release version of Ubuntu in update manager. Like I'm using 9.10 right now. I go in to update manager, and it says I can upgrade to 10.04. [03:08] aimio: new to ubuntu ? [03:08] aimio sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak [03:09] mbvpixies78: ping google.com works? [03:09] juniour, not that kind of tweak, i mean like visual tweaking. [03:09] kingrayray: I guess usb flash boot might be an option but it might end up in the same place [03:09] DasEi : yes, ping google works fine [03:09] sudo apt-get install ccsm [03:10] DasEi, not just have not been involved in ubuntu for a long time not sure what is good at this point. [03:10] or [03:10] When Ubuntu moved upstart files to /etc/init -- How can I guarantee these files will also run on boot? I can execute them using initctl but the custom ones I have do not start up on boot, I have to manually start them [03:10] aimio: checkout gnome.org [03:10] kingrayray: third option is pxeboot if your bios supports any of these [03:10] DasEi, thanks. [03:10] aimio: simplecssm, cairo-dock.. what's your experience?

Since upgrading mySQL and Daemontools no longer autostart on boot and require a manual launch [03:15] blacksunseven wt prob you r facing?

[03:20] does anyone know this error? [03:20] Nintet: and if you know winamp can do, use latest wine and have winamp there [03:20] sacarlson: i'll try it out, one sec [03:20] does anybody knows how to restart the sound system ? [03:20] sacarlson: well physically removing the drive worked- turns out all you need on this hp lappy is to remove one screw and a paperclip. lol [03:20] blacksunseven, do you know the per-session boot menu key prompt [03:20] i mean, its not a problem with the distro... [03:21] sacarlson: thanks for the help :) [03:21] xsys [03:21] blacksunseven have u installed universal installer in ur usb inad installed it and selected the write iso [03:21] audio is just shrouded in mystery [03:21] i thought it was something like restart aoss, but it doesn't seems to work [03:21] LOL [03:21] kingrayray: ya there not that hard, good to hear [03:21] mbvpixies78: so seems you only got a very poor install there, can you boot a live cd on that box ?

[03:23] nit-wit: yeah, that's what i meant by boot menu [03:23] blacksunseven, not in the bios [03:24] DasEi, I intially wanted Fedora 14 Security Lab spin, for school, but it couldn't connect to the internet except really slowly. However, I ran Fedora 9 on this same hardware in 2007 with not network problems [03:24] sacarlson: yeah thats what im thinking, but ive had problems with this drive for a while. i will probably just replace it lol [03:24] juniour: 16GB, though i've partitioned it to only have one 2GB FAT32 bootable partition [03:24] k [03:24] nit-wit: i assure you we're speaking about the same menu [03:24] Why does placing files in /etc/init in Ubuntu latest not make them autostart on boot? [03:24] mbvpixies78: the specs of it are fine for your purpose, but seems you did a minimal install missing essential things.. so [03:24] nit-wit: i hit F10 for mine [03:24] blacksunseven, there is the bios boot from menu and another one outside the bios [03:24] hmmm, maybe this sucker doesnt boot at all [03:24] nit-wit: i know [03:25] blacksunseven, cool [03:25] so the usb drive doesnt appear to boot on another system [03:25] mbvpixies78: easiest boot a live cd, so I can connect and so we can set it up [03:25] mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed [03:25] blacksunseven, is it a cruzer [03:25] iim trying to install 10.04 [03:25] blacksunseven: I have had problems with fake usb flash drives, make sure the drive is good with hwtest or other method [03:25] nit-wit: no, it's a mushkin [03:26] DasEi, any suggestions as to which live CD? Is there one for Ubuntu Server or can any distro be made to suit my purposes? [03:26] ii might have to install the server edition [03:26] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UD3ODM/ref=oss_product [03:26] that's the exact drive [03:26] DasEi, I have several live cd's burned [03:26] heh the cr-48 can run ubuntu , osx , win7 :/ http://blog.laptopmag.com/google-cr-48-notebook-hacked-to-mac-os-x-windows-7#axzz19wI8HPDp [03:26] mbvpixies78: better a live cd, aka lucid/maverick desktop-iso [03:27] ok, fouand it, it was alsa-reload [03:27] mbvpixies78: server cd is no live [03:27] ?? [03:28] DasEi, is it possible to use Kubuntu and just use xfce to increase performance? [03:28] blacksunseven: you can test the integrity of the usb flash simply by just writing the iso file to the disk and do an md5sum on it to verify that the space needed for an iso is good on the device [03:28] mbvpixies78: alsothatboxisn't to weak to do a standard install and remove btw. strip down unwanted services for the later use [03:28] could i get help configuring a Belkin wireless NIC for DSL in this channel? [03:28] mbvpixies78: yes,can switch surfaces [03:28] mbvpixies78: if you run "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" you can install xfce on any distro [03:29] mbvpixies78: not distro, sorry, any any fork of ubuntu [03:29] NixGeek: rural install missing essentials is current state, no apt working [03:29] ty rww [03:30] trying to install Ubuntu netbook atm on an Asus eee there's 4 partitions and I am not sure how to go about safely installing UNetbook so I can return the rental at the end of my contract [03:30] blacksunseven: here in Thailand about 2 out of 3 usb flash disks are fake and only have a fraction of the space they are configured to hold [03:30] could i get help configuring a Belkin wireless NIC for DSL in this channel? [03:30] DasEi, so just download Ubuntu desktop 10.04? [03:30] anyone here know if I can export mail from kmail and imported to thunderbird? [03:30] mbvpixies78: yes [03:30] somethinginteres, wubi if its a rental [03:31] somethinginteres: wouldn't it be against hte terms of your contract to install ubuntu on a rental? [03:31] mbvpixies78: once you got a working sys, everything can be altered for special purposes, if more new to this, easier way [03:31] somethinginteres, if you have a big enough thumb t=you could do a full install like 8 gigs or more [03:31] I am thinking of using an old PC as a home server, any suggestions as to which might be the best Linux Distro to use. The PC is a Pentium 4 3.00Ghz, 512mb Ram. I am used to Ubuntu as a main OS. Thanks. [03:32] NixGeek and nit-wit: I have given Wubi a go but it doesn't seem to work. Just shows me two buttons "Demo and Install" and "Learn More" the "demo" button just boots into the liveusb. Seems like a wubi bug [03:32] DasEi, that makes sense-- I wasn't sure how to proceed but I've learned a lot more commands over the past two days than ever [03:32] Toxicsg: this is ubuntu, more a question for #linux or search at distrowatch [03:32] Toxicgs u cna use any version [03:33] hi! I wanted to dd over 500GB to mz external drive, did "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=backup.img" [03:33] NixGeek: not sure about the terms on that one. I did tell them I had intended to install ubuntu and no objections were raised but I would prefer to use wubi if I could [03:33] Has anyone else experienced their desktop locking that can be fixed by restarting x11-common?

[03:33] I cannot send to channel ##linux [03:33] mbvpixies78: yes, I would be able to do a choosen install, but if there isn't enough experience, that expert install can become a hassle [03:33] Toxicsg u can use any version ur config is good [03:33] !register | Toxicsg [03:33] Toxicsg: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

My wife installed a bunch of KDE programs on her netbook. now it runs like crap. windows graying out all the time. Just trying to figure out what is causing it. [03:34] Toxicsg: add some ram and that will be as fast as most new computers now. my new build has a 3.2GHZ processor and it's almost the fastest I could find [03:34] nit-wit: that's when running wubi off the bootable thumb if I download wubi.exe to my desktop and run it I am presented with the normal screen i.e. specifying were to install and how big to make it. Username/pass etc [03:34] Flannel, drive has lots of free space, i could reduce partition and create a new one. what file szstem would zou recommend for mz external usb hdd? [03:35] DasEi, I dread the manual partitioning part [03:35] detrix42: install htop, conky and see what's eating up ressources, ram ? [03:35] DasEi: thanks [03:35] Thank you all.

But then when my laptop found that connection it only gave WEP as a choice for the password. What's going on there?

ThereÇs onlz 100 MB of free space, and I want a one command backup that does all persoanl data, szstem,, /boot, MBR, encrzption, so I guess dd is fine for that. itÇs not meant to be for incremental backups or so, just as i need to hand in my laptop for repair and later want to copy back [03:39] wheres my cheers [03:40] that will work [03:40] *shakes fist [03:40] mbvpixies78: else there a specialized distros, though it works below PIII ubu is not that fun no more [03:40] NixGeek: I thought of that but the USB pen runs so slow. I'll give wubi a crack [03:40] and should be bootable again withou new installation [03:40] somethinginteres, no problem wubi has some problems but fixable and that thread is a great help. [03:40] juniour: I did and that does work. But WEP is not as good as WPA and I don't understand why my desktop can make a WPA encrypted WAP and my laptop can find it but then only give me a choice of WEP for the password.

[03:41] DasEi, what does headless mean exactly? [03:41] trisquel: Not at all. Just wasteful, but if its just a small bit, or infrequent, it's fine. You seem to understand that already. [03:41] em i have tried it it workns in wep i dont know the reason [03:41] Thanks Dasei [03:41] mbvpixies78: no gui, commandline only [03:41] happy new year you bunch of legends [03:42] trisquel: Whichever you'd prefer. ext3 is supported on more platforms (older ones), but if you're in a well controlled environment, it doesn't matter a whole lot [03:42] nit-wit: there's no way to make the install size greater than 30GB that you know of? The netbook has a 170GB drive that's effectively empty atm [03:42] DasEi, yeah, I'm downloading.

Im trying to reinstall xp but my install disc doesnt recognize my partitions. I have tried unallocated Fat and ntsf file systems but all refuse to work. I got it working virtually but the system cant handle that smoothly enough. [04:01] is there some program I can use to set the fan rpm?

[05:12] geek__: you can find additional drivers from somewhere in xubuntu aswell, i just don't recall what is correct menu for that [05:12] Danny78: No. [05:13] Ascavasaion, I've never heard of running two graphics cards of different types like that together... maybe get a cheap one off ebay with 2 video ports and the appropriate cables?

Do you have the same problem? Or are you trying to help me out? :-p [05:39] i need to view its content in windows [05:39] lfuser-485: then it is already "extracted" [05:39] lfuser-485: Why do you think you need to extract a bin file? [05:40] lfuser-485: if you want to make it executable type chmod +x file [05:40] creativeembassy: i thought you want to help me:) [05:40] A .bin file is a binary file, it's not in an archive or anything that needs to be extracted [05:40] lfuser-485: if you "view" a bin file you will see strange letters no more [05:40] kristiina: no, sorry! I'm trying to get my own wireless card working! :-D [05:41] i am using "sudo mount -t vboxsf share /home/user/share [05:41] according to a friend of my, she say the bin file contain a dat file i need to copy [05:41] lspcilfuer-485: you need to mount it in windows along with its cue file to see its contents [05:41] kristiina, so I was asking at what times does your wireless stop working? [05:42] lfuser-485: then run the file, maybe it is self extracting [05:42] Hmmm... a friend of mine wants to know what Graphics Card he has, and what drivers he's using for it. In Linux. How would he find out? Thanks :) [05:42] i tried that, an error message pop up [05:42] what message? [05:42] windows cant read the bin files [05:42] lfuser-485: is it a linux file? [05:42] lspcilfuer-485: well can you use an ISO in windows? try bchunk -v image.bin image.cue cd to convert it [05:42] saying it might be a format that windows cant read [05:42] BiDDo: that is a little different than the one you posted earlier. cron is the utility that will allow you to run that at boot.

[05:44] Gartral: I also read somewhere that the cutoff date was Dec 21st .... we'll see if that is still true [05:44] anyone know anything about svideo outputs? [05:44] giovanni: nvidia or ati? [05:45] geeksquad or itel :) [05:45] GeekSquid, actually, hthats from google's chromenotebook site, then they took that warning down and left the sign-ups.. soo.. [05:45] geeksquad: or *intel :) [05:45] lfuser-485: i can't help you if you don't tell me anything [05:45] Gartral: ooooh that may be good news [05:45] geeksquad: err oh i am using an ati x700 [05:45] its a software for linux [05:46] lfuser-485: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/bin as you can tell there are *many* types of bin files. more information is needed for anyone to even have a chance at helping [05:46] lfuser-485: so why do you think that windows will run it if it is software for linux? [05:46] seems to be an issue with the guest additions [05:46] i had install the software in fedora [05:46] geeksquid: err squid! my apologies! [05:46] thanks giovanni ! [05:46] giovanni: atitvout is the package you need [05:46] but need the license inside the bin file [05:46] geeksquid: excellent, i shall try that [05:47] giovanni, do you think this is what shows the drivers? dpkg -l | grep nvidia (or ati) [05:48] lfuser-485: ok, so you want to have the licence key that is inside the .bin file [05:48] what software is it? [05:48] yes [05:48] its a processing software for work [05:48] name?

What have you tried to fix it? [05:51] Gartral: I know the 48 comes with 100mb/mo on verizon .. is there also a wifi card? or a RJ-45? [05:51] I can delete any file in my pen drive, just want to format it, how [05:51] ? [05:51] lfuser-485: seismic fata software? [05:51] data [05:51] GeekSquid, the Verizon access time is USELESS for me, that's why i want OFF of it [05:51] yup [05:52] its for processing seismic data [05:52] GeekSquid, yes, but i dont have any form of internet outside of wireles tethering my phone, and no, no rj45 [05:52] lfuser-485: looks like it is linux only [05:52] geeksquid: i am getting a cryptic "no vesa bios" error when i run "atitvout ntsc auto". any clue? [05:52] if in linux, can i view the file inside the bin file? [05:53] i had a pc setup in fedora [05:53] giovanni: and the Catalyst Control center is no help either? [05:53] Do you need some help GeekSquid? [05:53] lfuser-485: yes i guess so [05:53] dr0id: Install and use "gparted", or use System > Administration > Disk Utility that comes with Ubuntu. [05:53] pyrx: nope [05:53] cp2_4eva: not much so far. you see priorietary driver that has been intalled automatically is for bcm4312 and this one in bcm4313. [05:54] how do i do that? [05:54] Anyone, after installing a linux driver from Realtek and rebooting, where does it go? I can see the wireless card in lshw (without a driver on the configuration line), but I don't know how to get the driver working for it...

[05:58] I want that to change, so that this partition mounted by root would be my property [05:58] what is this file anyway? is it seismic data? [05:58] that happens to contain you license? [05:58] its a installer [05:58] ok [05:58] lol [05:59] so it's nothing you would actually "view" [05:59] the license files is inside the bin file according to my friend [05:59] GeekSquid, good for you.. my credit is shit cause i'm 20 years old [05:59] excuse my language [05:59] rww: or Pici are you around, I think we have a bot playing with us... pyrx is our culprit [05:59] lfuser-485: well obviously not [06:00] lfuser-485: because if it was inside, you woudl already have the license key [06:00] Hi all, is there any one who got attacked by gosh.tar.gz ???

[06:01] ossis: what wireless chip do you use? [06:01] any ideas http://imagebin.org/130744 [06:01] ossis: firmware is a little file which tells the driver how to tak to the device [06:01] fs is spelt fs?

[06:01] uid= still makes it property of root [06:01] lfuser-485: generally, license files are distributed seperately from the installer [06:01] the installing steps said that need to copy the license key to a certain directory, [06:02] lfuser-485: so i would email halliburton to get another license file [06:02] i see [06:02] lfuser-485: right. that's the usual procedure [06:02] the is no other ways to extract it?

[06:04] lfuser-485: and copy that thing into the directory where it belongs [06:04] chris_osx: halliburton has commercial support, and this is obviously commercial software, which is not supported here [06:04] lfuser-485: i don't know your software so follow the installation routine [06:04] ok, thanks chris_osx [06:04] lfuser-485: ^^^ [06:05] GeekSquid: well it isn't even ubuntu, but fedora that this software obviously runs on which makes it even worse [06:06] chris_osx: on top of that Halliburton is the war machine [06:06] mjhgjkghkhgkjkj [06:06] GeekSquid: i know mines and such [06:06] ActionParsnip: it gave me a big long output of stuff, where can I post it so you can see?

[06:25] Is there a way to get the ipaddress of a machine without logging in? ( I it is connected to the network). [06:25] phoe6: got a router? [06:25] I don't have control over it [06:25] CaneToad: I am working remotely and my desktop is rebooted. [06:26] gabrieluk: the vnc password when you set it up ... we technically don't support debian here [06:26] some one might have a access to physical desktop, I can ask them to reboot again. [06:26] ok,ty [06:27] gabrieluk: it is likely the pwd assigned to the user account\group that vncserver is in [06:27] phoe6: if you can, you should get your systems people to configure dhcp so it always issues your computer the same IP address [06:28] giovanni: not necessarily, vnc usually has its own password specific to it [06:28] hey guys i installed Ubuntu yesterday but i can't seem to get php5-gd to work with php. [06:28] yeah.. [06:29] CaneToad: that should be helpful. - I shall try for it. [06:29] GeekSquid: err indeed. i have ssh in my head by default. apologies all [06:29] But at the moment, does the boot process show the ipaddress? [06:29] Loi: have you installed php5-gd, you may need some other things to make it work [06:30] GeekSquid, yeah [06:30] when i installed vnc server it asked me if i wanted 2 passwords,and i did 2.also,when creating the passwords it gave me some strange message...password 4 intruncate...sumenthing like that [06:31] hi, is there any special way to mount a ROOTFS ... i have booted from a pendrive-installed-ubuntu and tried mounting ROOT partition of my laptop drive using - sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda6 /media/l-root/ ... but looks like hung ... is anything wrong [06:32] any recommendations for thesis writing software on Ubuntu? [06:32] avinashhm: "mount" hanging is usually not a good sign. Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [06:33] Loi: is this a webapp... php5-gd has been compiled by default with the suhosin patch, I make the assumption it is a webapp, if not, I may have other ideas, ... If you'll give me an Idea of your application, I can probably point you in the right direction [06:33] how can i see which version of libgtk i have installed? [06:33] somethinginteres: Depending on your thesis and other needs, LaTeX might be a good choice. [06:33] Jordan_U, i ll paste ...

[06:35] Loi: you wouldn't mind pastebining the script, or at least the portion that is calling the gd function? [06:36] Jordan_U: I'll have to look into this. My brief googling for thesis writing software yielded LaTeX as well. It's a social science thesis. [06:36] GeekSquid, just a asec [06:37] hi... I am trying to get a snapscan usb flatbed scanner to work on 10.04... lsusb finds it ... sane-find-scanner seems to... but 'simple scan' does not :( ... can anyone help? [06:37] GeekSquid, you mean this? [06:37] $im = imagecreate(300, 70); [06:37] avinashhm: I would recommend rebooting (just because with mount hung the state of things is unknown), then running fsck (this time with the filesystem unmounted :). [06:37] How do I run a memory test using a ubuntu without installing it? [06:38] somethinginteres, i also recommend Latex (with something else to help see how it looks in the end, i personally use TexWorks, but you can choose between many other versions. [06:38] !livecd | Taylorco [06:38] Taylorco: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [06:38] Jordan_U, accepted .. i ll reboot and try ... b4 that any time u came across this .. @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/549720/ ... when i say its not booting, it comes and stands here .. [06:38] moza: thanks for that. I'm trying to understand how it is different to say LibreOffice or some such. [06:38] somethinginteres, the advantage is that it can take documents with large number of pages, or even assemble multiple chapters, and has a neat presentation that is printing like with not much effort in the end. [06:39] hey guys i need help installing Folding@Home.. anyone familiar with that??! i wanna join the ubuntuTeam!! [06:39] What features do I loose when symlink /proc/mount to /etc/mtab? I want to use SNMP MIB fsHRAcess to determine read write status, which seems to read /etc/mtab, but if the partition set to read only it does not update /etc/mtab? Really the MIB should read /proc/mounts. So two things, I do need a quick fix so what would I loose, and I guess I could talk to the snmp folks about the MIB? [06:40] Thesis are often long (even more in social science, i think) and things like openoffice.org might break down more easily if you feed them 100 pages. [06:40] Loi: seems like the right direction, ... and the error I assume is "call to undefined function" ... what does phpinfo() tell you? is GD enabled? [06:40] last message was for somethinginteres [06:41] just a second GeekSquid [06:41] hey guys i need help installing Folding@Home.. anyone familiar with that??!... [06:41] moza: yeah, I had that problem with my honours thesis. The formatting went crazy [06:42] chris_osx: dpkg -l | grep libgtk [06:42] Just read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide I've just enabled home directory sharing, and I'm seeing two folders that both point to my home directory. What's up with the duplication and how can I get rid of it? (the directories are called "homes" and "jimmybot") [06:42] GeekSquid, Additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini [06:42] milamber: thanks [06:42] somethinginteres, another advantage of Latex is that you can handle the references/bibliography with tools that will do many things automatically. It is a little more difficult to set up in the beginning, but in the end it saves an enormous amount of time in not having to handle all references one by one. [06:42] Loi: you have restarted apache? i trust [06:42] somethinginteres: With LaTeX you don't need to worry about formatting (or table of contents and similar things), it's all automagic. [06:43] GeekSquid, yep [06:43] somethinginteres: That said there is a definite learning curve. [06:43] hi... I am trying to get a snapscan usb flatbed scanner to work on 10.04... lsusb finds it ... sane-find-scanner seems to... but 'simple scan' does not :( ... can anyone help? [06:45] moza, Jordan_U: sounds worth it. I am trying to learn from my previous mistakes sounds like LaTex will be helpful there. If there's any tutorial you used to learn the ropes that'd be really helpful [06:45] Jordan_U, somethinginteres, indeed, some time is needed to get it to work and take advantage of everything, but with a good environment and some help, i definitely think it is worth it. Even more if you don't have at your disposition an editor that can redo all the formatting for you in the end :). [06:45] somethinginteres, i used texworks as an environment and jabref to handle my references [06:45] hello all [06:45] nice to see you guys [06:45] fresh install 10.04/amd64..... 1.254642 kernel panic - not syncing: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) does this mean another complete install???

[07:14] rs0832: grub.cfg pasted in pastebin /549731/ [07:14] and, can I somehow decrypt and mount my encrypted sysroot and install packages? [07:15] I run windows 7 64bit. I dual booted 10.10 today on a seperate partition. I updated 10.10 with everything in the update manager. I then rebooted, back into ubuntu, and found the internet would not connect. I went back to windows, and it wont connect there either. This happened last time I tried to dual boot ubuntu [07:15] It tried to identity internet access but fails. I use an eternet cable and never adjusted any internet settings. It doesnt recognize it anymore [07:15] rs0832 root ='(hd0,1)' [07:16] tortoise7, yes [07:16] tortoise7, thats what it says? [07:16] yepper [07:16] tortoise7, if it says (hd0,1) try (hd0,0) [07:16] pandalcc, have u had his problem dual booting windows and 10.04? [07:16] tortoise7, on the live filesystem, browse to /boot/ if you can [07:16] ubuxubu, i havnt tried to dual boot 10.04. [07:16] pandalcc, is it hard wired or wireless? [07:17] hard wired [07:17] rs0832: make that change for all instances.... or just the first [07:17] and im currently connected via my tetherd android.. thats the only way I can get my internet to connect [07:17] tortoise7, dont make any changes... [07:17] is windows installed 1st pandalcc [07:17] yes. I installed it on windows from a usb drive [07:17] After installing Libreoffice, it broke and uninstalled OpenOffice. I'm trying to get OpenOffice back, but I get loads of dependency errors. Any idea how to fix it? [07:18] is it a modern computer pandalcc [07:18] re0832: cli at boot [07:18] tortoise7, the grub.cfg is fine... browse to /boot one the livecd filesystem, not the hd [07:18] yes it is. i had no problems until i dual booted [07:18] its only about a year old [07:18] oops [07:18] pandalcc, tell me the basic specs [07:18] oh ok 1 year ol [07:18] 2.67ghz quad core. 4gb ddr3 ram [07:19] not quite sure about my motherboard. i can look it up? [07:19] pandalcc, i now for a fact i can do a perfect dual boot with doze and buntu 1004 cos i just recently did about a half dozen of them [07:19] uBUXUBu: Have you tried shutting down completely then starting up into windows again? (*not* just rebooting) [07:19] so if u wanna do that pandalcc i can help perfectly [07:19] hmm. well i first need to get my internet back up and running [07:19] I am having trouble with scaning :( "scanimage -L" doesn't work :( but "sudo scanimage -L" does... I have made myself a member of the scand group... what can I do? [07:20] but i'd wanna do it fromscratch step by step pandalcc [07:20] uBUXUBu: The only thing I can think of that Ubuntu could do that would affect windows' ability to connect would be loading different firmware, which should be unloaded by a full shutdown (but not always by a reboot). [07:20] is it possible that ubuntu messed with windows in any way? that seems like the only explination [07:20] tortoise7, did you find it? [07:20] JORDAN_u HAS A GOOD POINT [07:20] Who here is familiar with Pulseaudio Local network soundcard/audio sharing [07:20] ? [07:20] jordan_u, is there a way to reset the firmware or redownload the correct one? [07:20] did u catch that pandalcc [07:21] ok ok [07:21] Loi1: see mine ... Line 210 - 222 ... http://pastebin.ca/2037564 , yours doesn't have it [07:21] rs0832: yes, there now at cli [07:21] hey guys, does anyone know how gdm themes are installed in 11.04 ? [07:21] ndugan: did you follow the permissions section on the link i sent you? [07:21] tortoise7, use the gui to browse there(nautilus) and check if you see any kernel there [07:22] GeekSquid, mind pastebinning your php.ini?? [07:22] Ub3r-N00b: that question is for #ubuntu+1 === ibyss is now known as Guest86415 [07:22] pandalcc: Shut down completely then boot into windows again. If that works then we can be more confident that firmware is the problem and try to find the right version from there. [07:22] GeekSquid, thanks === horsewhisper is now known as banisterfiend [07:22] jordan_u, by the way I completey formatted the drive that i installed ubuntu on, and deleted the partitions. so I dont think its left of my system [07:23] milamber, those seem to be already done... there is a entry for the usb id of my scanner.. [07:23] Who here is familiar with Pulseaudio Local network soundcard/audio sharing? [07:23] Loi1: http://pastebin.ca/2037568 [07:23] Using Grub 1. At a console. How can I list devices? [07:23] jordan_u, and ok i will shutdown and boot back up. [07:23] rs0832: bcmwl-kernel-source-5...... software package... is the only hit in search for kernel [07:23] sjuxax: lspci , lsusb [07:24] sjuxax: if didn't even know that was posible from grub [07:24] pandalcc, perfect if u already deleted 1010 and wanna start fresh with 1004 ill bet it works [07:24] Not devices attached to the computer via PCI etc., I mean disk devices that GRUB sees [07:24] Jordan_U, Has anyone already asked him to check for ISP service? Cable modem leds? Cable modem reboot? [07:24] tortoise7, do an ls and tell me what files are there [07:24] grub2 has ls, I remember grub1 having something but don't recall what it was exactly [07:25] sjuxax: "root (TAB" (where TAB means pressing the tab key). [07:25] GeekSquid, still Call to undefined function imagecreate() [07:25] :/ [07:25] I've managed to mount the encrypted partitions, but how can I change root from the livecd to the "cryptroot" to install packages? [07:25] Loi1: GD is not loaded on your php --info ... seems it is not installed or not loading when apache starts [07:25] i would just reinstall my windows network dirver and reinstall ubuntu 10.04,,,boom done pandalcc [07:25] easy [07:26] hudson_: sudo chroot /mountpoint/ [07:26] GeekSquid, :/ [07:26] Jordan_U, Since he's got no service for both systems, maybe his ISP could be facing issues delivering IP addresses via DHCP and he'd only notice that after rebooting the system... [07:26] milamber, there is a line "ATTRS{idVendor}=="06bd", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"" in the mentioned file [07:26] GeekSquid, i replaced your php.ini with mine [07:26] GeekSquid, i dunno what else to do [07:26] Loi1: uh ... that is 8.04LTS , [07:26] ndugan: what version of ubuntu? [07:26] GeekSquid, isnt the config the same [07:27] Who here is familiar with Pulseaudio Local network soundcard/audio sharing? [07:27] rs0832: abi-2.6.32-21-generic, grub, system.map"ditoo #" generic. config"ditto #"genirc, memtest86+.bin vmcorinfo"ditto#"genric... that is all === hekos is now known as Hekos [07:27] milamber, 10.04 [07:27] star trak with the valcuns?! well mostly [07:27] sry wrong channel [07:27] lol [07:27] hi [07:28] hello [07:28] Loi1: should be close, but not sure what changes between versions... and you restarted apache again ... I'd like to see /var/log/apache2/error.log [07:28] tortoise7, ok now, copy the files abi-2.6.32-21-generic, system.map-2.6.32-21-generic and config-2.6.32-21-generic from there to the /boot directory on you hd [07:28] GeekSquid, second [07:28] mactimes: Good point. [07:28] Loi1: do we have a motion [07:29] http://pastebin.com/Uxa6NwUH [07:29] rs0832: ok.... standby [07:29] GeekSquid, http://pastebin.com/Uxa6NwUH [07:30] Jordan_U, Either that or his NIC has deep fried somehow.... [07:30] jordan_u, ok im back and I did a complete shutdown. my internet is still not working properly [07:30] hey guys quick question, thinking of changing from debian to ubuntu. Is it much easier to install graphics drivers, xbmc etc? [07:31] pandalcc, Do you mind if I ask you some questions? [07:31] mactimes, sure no problem [07:31] pandalcc, I've been discussing your issue with Jordan_U. You said you're on cable modem, right? [07:31] Jordan_U: thanks, that wasn't so hard :) [07:31] mactimes, that's correct [07:32] pandalcc, Do you have the maker and model of your cable modem? If not, can you tell me what are the indicator leds your cable modem has and which of them are on, blinking and off? [07:33] pandalcc, And just to confirm, you've installed latest Ubuntu version, 10.10, correct? [07:33] mactimes, i did install that yes. but i uninstalled it once my internet stopped working [07:34] I have the linux ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx on my vista partition ;) [07:34] pandalcc, No problem. What system is running in the machine now? [07:34] and about the cable modem. I just unplugged the ethernet cable from my computer, plugged it into my ps3, and it worked fine [07:34] rs0832: those files are already there... and match for size and date.... [07:34] Jimmy89: Most graphics cards have drivers working by default, with the exception of nvidia, their driver is easy to install with jockey-gtk [07:34] ndugan: you substituded your values in the rulefile, correct? and added yourself to the correct scanner group? then logged out and logged back in? [07:34] Loi1: what is this? /usr/lib/php5/20090626/gd.so ... cd into /usr/lib/php5 and ls that directory to see the actual place it should be [07:34] im currently on windows 7 64 bit ultimate [07:34] yeh ati drivers is what I am currently having trouble with on debian [07:34] tortoise7, ok.. overwrite them [07:35] tortoise7, is there an initrd-2.6.32-21-generic and vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic on the livecd filesystem also? if there is, copy those too [07:35] hey all [07:35] Jimmy89: Which model card do you have? [07:35] is there a way I can regrub something from an install cd? [07:35] theres no gd.so in there GeekSquid [07:35] i have a ATI Catalyst Card and it work fine on ubuntu :D [07:35] i messed up and need to do just the boot loader part [07:35] lol [07:35] pandalcc, Ok. Do this: Reboot your cable modem. Wait for 30 seconds, right click your network interface and select 'Repair'. [07:35] milamber, there is no group "scanner" [07:36] yeh I am thinking of changing, just so I don't have to compile each time a new xbmc comes out etc :p [07:36] rs0832: will overwrite... looking for the others. [07:36] Loi1: but there is a number? like 2009xxxxx [07:36] mactimes, sure thing - brb [07:36] I have a HD3200 (integrated on the 780gx chipset) [07:36] GeekSquid, yes [07:36] Loi1: what is that number [07:36] pandalcc, After you do that, let me know the cable modem leds if it doesn't work. [07:36] GeekSquid, 20090626 [07:36] !grub2 | Adman65 [07:36] Adman65: 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 [07:37] after "crypt_setup done successfully", all just goes black. how can I turn on the good ole verbosity on boot to see what went wrong? [07:37] system -> administration -> drivers ;) the catalyst control center is here :D [07:38] ndugan: this is a known bug and here are the *known* workarounds. it is a permissions issue and udev is def going to be involved in a permanent fix. here are some more comments on how to make things work: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/217571 [07:38] Jimmy89: The open radeon driver has good support for the HD series. You can optionally install (and remove) fglrx with jockey as well [07:38] I'm on a system with 256MB RAM and would like to use Eclipse, but it's painfully slow. Is there a solution besides adding more RAM? I have heard of using Flash drives as RAM, but don't find much support for that idea online. [07:39] is there some way to take an existing install and recreate /boot ? [07:40] mactimes, I reset the cable modem, and my router just incase. All the leds are working. the internet works in the rest of my house. It's just my PC that wont connect [07:40] pandalcc, Hummm. [07:41] Do the Maverick Live CDs use GRUB2? [07:41] pandalcc, Isn't the network interface card set do 'disabled'? [07:41] mactimes, how do I check that? [07:42] !info grub2 maverick | sjuxac [07:42] sjuxac: grub2 (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (dummy package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 47 kB, installed size 108 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 kopensolaris-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc sparc mipsel) [07:42] Loi1: at this point I'd reccommend a complete reinstall of the php stack, seems like a whole bunch of things are fubar'd, ... remember 'sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename' will get rid of all configs, then install the stack again, and that should fix things up appropriately [07:43] pandalcc, In the Windows 7 settings panel, you have the Network Connectinos thing. There you'll find your attached network interface cards. Double click each of them. If it opens the properties, just close the properties window. But check if any of the give you a message 'Enabling'. [07:43] pandalcc, Keep your cable connected to the interface while you do that. [07:44] Loi1: do a sudo apt-get update before you reinstall [07:44] mactimes, give me a minute [07:44] pandalcc, Ok. [07:46] mactimes, I have no idea where to find that :p [07:46] pandalcc, I'll tell you what. [07:47] actually [07:47] i found it [07:47] pandalcc, Ok. How many interfaces are there? [07:47] 3 [07:47] a Broadband Connection [07:47] pandalcc, Does any of them says 'Disabled' close to it? [07:47] a Local Area Connection (which keeps identifying, and sayig the network cable is unplugged which its not) [07:47] s/says/say/ [07:48] pandalcc, Humm. Double check if the cable is tight there. [07:48] mactimes, my broadband connection is disabled right now. but im assuming this is because the LAC is not working [07:48] pandalcc, So, enable the broadband connection. [07:48] How to concatenate two text files? I tried join command but coudn't get it done properly ... [07:49] sresu: cat file1.txt file2.txt [07:49] cat file1.txt file2.txt > file3.txt [07:49] :p [07:49] conCATenate ;) [07:49] pandalcc, Also, double check if that cable is tightly connected to the interface on both ends. [07:49] rww: It doesn't work... [07:50] Oh [07:50] mactimes, the cables are snugly in place. if it matters, the port gives one longer orange flash, followed by 4 quick yellow flashes [07:50] pandalcc, If not, remove the cable, expand the lock a bit (careful not to break it) and connect again (you should head a 'click') [07:50] the port on my computer [07:50] GeekSquid, works perfectaly now thanks [07:50] pandalcc, Ok, right click that interface and click 'repair'. [07:50] rs0832: searching hi/lo for those additional files ....not on the cd.... perhaps i need a newer installer...?? [07:50] Loi1: not a problem, glad I could help [07:51] tortoise7, noever mind about the other two then [07:51] mactimes, "Troubleshootig couldn't identify the problem" :\ [07:51] tortoise7, can you get the internet on the live cd, temporarily atleast? [07:51] pandalcc, Ok. Right click on that, select 'disable'. Wait for 10 seconds, right click the interface again and choose 'enable'. [07:52] mactimes, alright [07:52] Sometimes when i right click new folder is created.Is there any way to delay context menu..? [07:52] rs0832: yes.... where shall i go? [07:52] tortoise7, have you connected the internet? [07:52] mactimes, same problem. It says enabled, identifying, and then says network cable unplugged. [07:53] tortoise7, then try running the following command in a terminal : sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -b /mnt/sda1/boot [07:53] rs0832: yes [07:54] pandalcc, Humm. I'd really check that cable or the NIC. Since you have no connectivity on both systems and they are completely independent, it can only be a hardware (Interface or cable) problem. [07:55] pandalcc, Since you are able to connect your PS3 with that same cable on the very same port on the router, I'd say the problem lies on your Network Interface Card itself. [07:55] mactimes, hmm. a driver issue? ive updated it to the latest via properties [07:56] ea0832: update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media.... tho, in firefox i can reach google... [07:56] pandalcc, Not a driver issue. I mean the physical interface itself, since it won't work for both OS'es [07:56] mactimes, if it matters - I have a Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20) [07:56] tortoise7, ok 1 se [07:57] mactimes, I see. Was there a way for ubuntu to *somehow* mess with it? [07:57] pandalcc, Humm. Would you mind if I took a look at it via TeamView? [07:57] pandalcc, No way Ubuntu could have messed it up for Windows. [07:57] pandalcc, Ubuntu wouldn't touch Windows drivers. [07:57] tortoise7, did you specify the -b properly? [07:57] mactimes, thats what I thought too, but its the only reason I could think. nothing else makes sense [07:58] mactines, but yes, we can do that. tell me how to set it up [07:58] viddy: cat file1.txt file2.txt > file3.txt The contents of file1 should come first before file2 right? But here its happening other way ... [07:58] tortoise7, what version of ubuntu are you on? [07:58] pandalcc, Let me get the TeamView app download link for you. Just a sec. [07:58] mactimes, Ok [07:59] rs0832: i believe so.... no other error returned.... 10.04 amd/64 [07:59] rww: cat file1.txt file2.txt > file3.txt The contents of file1 should come first before file2 right? But here its happening other way ... [07:59] pandalcc, http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewerQS.exe [07:59] pandalcc, That's the quick support version, no need to install it. === nikolei is now known as alex[TROLL] [08:00] mactimes, downloading it now [08:00] sresu: file1.txt should be on top, with file2.txt underneath it. I just tested o.O [08:00] pandalcc, Just send me a private message with the id and password to connect once you start it up. [08:00] mactimes, will do. my download will be slow as im using 3g tethered internet [08:00] irc.euirc.net [08:00] cat file1 > file3 cat file2 >> file3 [08:00] rww: Oh yes, it should be. But I don't know why its doing other way.. Does it sort as per time? [08:01] pandalcc, What's the ETA for the download to complete? I need to buy cigarettes, will take about 10 minutes to go and come back. [08:01] sresu: no [08:01] tortoise7, can you compile stuff from source? [08:01] sresu: Cat is a fairly basic command, my guess is that you're missing something simple (like you're opening an old "File3" rather than "file3". [08:01] sresu: I hate to ask basic questions, but are you sure you're not mixing the files up :\? [08:02] mactimes, you've got time to do that. i can wait since you've been patiently helping me [08:02] rww: Actually I'm finding it wierd asking about cat. Let it be .. I'll figure it out [08:02] pandalcc, Ok. I'll be back in about 10 minutes. I'm smoking my last one. BRB. [08:02] Jordan_U: Nope [08:02] i love your attitude pandalcc :-) [08:03] rs0832: perhaps.... are the init* files available via synaptic? [08:03] sresu: Have you tried what ActionParsnip suggested? [08:03] rs0832: tortoise7: update-initramfs needs to be run in a chroot (with /dev/ /proc/ /sys/ and /dev/pts/ mounted in the chroot). [08:03] h-dee: Oh, yes, working with join now [08:03] ActionParsnip, haha thank you. Im really glad that I found help here. I was clueless as what to do [08:04] Jordan_U, k thanks :) [08:04] h-dee: sad to know cat didn't worked out. [08:04] rs0832: You're welcome. [08:04] sresu: sad to know cat didn't worked out. [08:05] h-dee: Nope, I'm doing something wrong.. It usually works right [08:06] tortoise7, so we chroot? [08:06] how do i know if i should download 64 bit version or 32 bit version for the server edition? [08:06] kilian76: do you know if your server supports 64-bit? [08:06] kilian76, depends on what hardware you have [08:06] anyways thanks [08:07] rs0832: backtracking a bit.... what happens if i change all the instances in grub.cfg of hd0,1 to hd0,0 ?? [08:07] i am unsure, its a 10 yr old pc. that i am converting to a server [08:07] kilian76: then get 32-bit [08:07] it had XP professional [08:07] i am assuming 32bit [08:07] tortoise7: That will have absolutely no effect. [08:07] if it's 10 years old, it's probably 32bit, and you won't notice either way. [08:07] :) cool [08:07] thanks rww [08:07] tortoise7, grub is fine... the problem is after the grub part (it reaches the kernel and then panics) [08:07] killan76: if you have more than 4gb ram, go 64bit. or if the server is to use sql [08:08] tortoise7, which means grub works fine [08:08] rs0832: ok.... chroot wants some arguements.... [08:08] what is grub? === wers_ is now known as wers [08:08] !grub [08:08] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I've got a really really silly question... If I use SSH to copy files from my other computer (same house, same router)... umm....

[09:15] torti7, k the first chroot command should work.... can you ls /mnt and pastenbin it? [09:15] can't be too sure [09:16] tom866: a once crashed firefox process isn't anything to worry about, if there are no other symptoms. [09:16] no i mean youtube is laggy [09:16] axp2, yeah, I wouldn't want to do that anyway, my DSL is only 80kbps, so it would take foreverrrrrrrr [09:16] when i play a video [09:16] Hey could someone give me some assistance with virtual box and installing windows 7 into it? [09:16] tom866: unfortunately, youtube is often laggy with linux. It's a problem with flash-support, Adobe isn't very linux-friendly. [09:16] ah [09:17] just forgot to asked!

[10:21] casmith790: so just click the wireless from upper menu, same one that you used earlier to connect [10:21] casmith790: in bottom there is option to connect hidden ones [10:21] Ileden: it might be that wlan is configured to hide it's ssid, which is quite normal [10:21] when I click the menu a box comes up with connection properties [10:22] How can I install adobe-flash on chrome without firefox?

It was a keylogger cum activity recorder. If nothing works out, try using that through Wine. [10:37] Adman65, you can find a way to display all events from the mouse and try pushing each one by one and see what you get, or maybe read the documentation if there is one for the mouse model.

[11:14] but iirc* [11:14] h-dee: I just switched from xubuntu to ubuntu... in xubuntu, a little icon would appear in the task bar telling me that after the automated apt-get checks, there are N packages available to upgrade. i no longer see that. in addition, i no longer see when apt requires a restart (when I know it should) [11:14] Elizabeth|2, I personally have no idea about controllers , someone else here might. You could also check #winehq here on freenode [11:15] im sure there is more people in there who have setup controllers [11:15] r00t4rd3d: I'll give it a shot [11:15] thank [11:15] thanks* [11:15] and I'll be back here to pester if I'm met with no success [11:15] :-P [11:15] :D [11:17] ryan_languagelab: Haven't used XUBUNTU, so not sure what exactly you're seeking to, but if you use command line, you do see the status (even through Software Manager), not sure of any icon. Most packages won't require you to restart. In case if it do, the Power icon on the top-right will turn Red. [11:17] h-dee: okay thanks [11:18] ryan_languagelab: the same status icon should be there that is in xubuntu (i use both). something is wrong, check your update-manager settings. [11:18] hello still having problem with my pidgin-ppa broken package [11:19] cyberlord, broken package? [11:19] cyberlord, have you loaded synaptic package manager , gone to Edit , Fix broken packages ?\ [11:19] Ileden: i just did check the update settings. The bigger issue is I'm not sure what parts of the indicator-applet are activated [11:19] To be honest, I think the indicator applet is horrible (there are no ways to move icons, etc) [11:19] cyberlord, sudo apt-get -f install [11:19] ryan_languagelab: hm, come to think of it, I'm cannot be sure i've seen it in 10.10. [11:20] ryan_languagelab, ive never seen anything like that [11:20] ryan_languagelab: agreed on the horribleness. :) [11:20] in 1010 [11:21] well. let me d that [11:21] hi all, basic question: how can i add a new path to $PATH but as a system-wide and not as a user session (~/.bashrc) ? Thanks [11:21] this is how my task bar looks: http://www2.ryankaskel.com/misc/ubuntu/task_bar_area_20110103.png [11:22] what is missing? I don't want the social stuff but "Add to panel..." and the indicator applet stuff don't play well together [11:22] lost_and_unfound, doesnt export PATH='path here' work? [11:23] rs0832: so export will add it abd it will stay in the $PATH even after a reboot ? [11:24] lost_and_unfound, yes [11:24] rs0832: thanks [11:24] lost_and_unfound, :) [11:24] r00t4rd3d, I have done that but it is saying: Errors were encountered while processing: pidgin-ppa E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [11:25] I am not able to install any package again [11:26] sudo apt-get -f install [11:26] how do i see what driver owns a certain block device? [11:28] hffg [11:29] what would yall recommend for a not too expensive laptop that is good for linux? [11:29] a free cr-48 from google :D [11:29] or anything made in the past 5 years [11:30] im also thinking of getting a android phone, does andoird work good with linux? [11:30] seeing how android is linux , most likely [11:30] oh nice [11:31] i like sony vaios the best i think! they are sexy! [11:31] I have a x86 64bit dell inspiration pc and it doesn't contain a amd cpu. Should I install "amd 64 10.04" or "x86 32 10.04"?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:31] how do you find out the device driver name for a certain block device device node? [11:32] nirazio, if it is 64 bit you can install either 32 or 64bit [11:32] nirazio, are you using wubi ? [11:32] nirazio: use amd64, its for intel too. its just amd who invented the 64bit-extensions, so the name [11:32] hi. the daily natty-server-amd64.iso shuts down a little bit after the partitioning part [11:32] r00t4rd3d: not using wubi [11:32] Vonor: natty discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [11:32] k [11:33] Hello I have the following problem: I connected a Dolby Digital 5.1 system on my computer now I have ubuntu 10:04 in the sound settings, the profile selected as an analog surround 5.1 [11:33] I have only ever change over to a different profile and then back to analog so my surround 5.1 subwoofer the bass is playing, how can i change this?

[11:49] synaptic package manager ? [11:49] how can I restart system monitor panel applet? mines frozen.. restarting the panel just made the applet disappear. cant re add it either. rebooting works, but this happens from time to time and it would be good to find the process to kill or something to bring it back [11:50] went to their website and got the linux self extracting file [11:50] leomast247, thats why [11:50] leomast247, you need it for wine/windows ... not for linux [11:50] ran it through the terminal and got a folder..now what [11:50] delete that folder [11:50] ok [11:50] and the bin you downloaded [11:50] hello everybody i have trouble with ubuntu as guest os in virtualbox: the ethernet device is not listed as eth0 but lspci does list it. how can i debug that?

[11:56] h-dee: how?

By the way, which app you trying to install, and did you tried using that command? [12:06] Can anyone explain me the reason why, using pidgin, i have some contacts blocked in one pc and in another one they are not [12:07] one of your instant messangers recording the blocked users locally while the other stores them remotly? [12:08] I can I change that option? [12:08] hey guys can you recommend some good app for backing up files, i am working on a small project and i need to backup all my code on daily bases [12:09] maybe this will help http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7202 [12:11] How can I execute a command after a delay in terminal? [12:11] hi, i'm trying to make a debian package out of a source package but i'm facing some trouble... I've used dh_make to generate the debian but that doesn't seem to be enough... when the building reachs the make install, it tries to install the files to /usr directly instead of the directory it's supossed to isntall to (debian/building-something?), some help? where should i start checking? [12:11] pratz: I think I would use rsync , if you want to automate you can setup a cron job on a daily or other time basis [12:11] rocket16: sleep [12:11] iceroot: I see. Thanks. :) [12:11] jorge__: edit the file debian/dirs so the rules-file is creating the directories before installing something into them [12:12] pratz: being it's code or anything text I would also try setup a git directory for it so you can go back and see what you changed over time [12:13] sardonyx: thanks [12:14] iceroot: thanks, i'm reading about debian/dirs file now =) [12:14] Wekcome [12:15] i think im getting attacked on port 56990 [12:16] iceroot: i've added the directory to debian/dirs but it's the same, the makefile tries to "install" the files to /usr/include/wfdb instead of the package building directory, the contents of the debian/dirs file is just usr/include/wfdb [12:16] comodo is showing a log from a bunch of different ips, all connecting to the same dest. port [12:16] Hey, I have installed, I think, motif, and wanted to go and see how it is... how do I do that as gdm doesn't show it. [12:16] paulD: what application would you have listening at 56990? [12:17] Like trying to start mwm gives "Another WM is already running" message [12:17] sacarlson: i ran fport and it didnt return anything [12:17] paulD: torrent by any chance? [12:18] sacarlson: and I ran netstat and nothing is listening on that port [12:18] Heh, any ideas as to how to start mwm? :D I'm a newbie :) [12:18] Thorn, no sir [12:19] In Festival, we need to execute (SayText "Text" nil) from its prompt to make the computer speak. But, is there a way to do it from the shell itself, without invoking festival? i.e, using a single command? [12:19] paulD: well hard to be attacked on a port that doesn't listen, udp maybe? [12:19] i started to just filter with my fios router thinking it would be easy, considering it is only port 56990, but for some reason things are still leaking through [12:19] paulD: even if you aren't running p2p at all somebody else who had that IP before you could run it, if your ip is dynamic [12:20] paulD, sudo apt-get install gufw [12:20] rocket16: festival has a --pipe switch. perhaps try echo "(SayText \"Text\" nil)" | festival --pipe [12:20] im entirely new to networking, i think i learned more in that past 5 hours than i did in a lifetime, should i be concerned about loss of internet speed if i'm getting this many requests? [12:20] msg nickserv [12:20] In gnome (ubuntu 10.04.1) when windows open the top part is about the edge of the screen but the mouse will not go up there. It only happens under my username. [12:20] dont do it MrDrew ! [12:21] rocket16: --batch might be useful too. See the festival manpage [12:21] ill ghost you :D [12:21] rww: Oh! It works, many thanks. [12:22] ghost? [12:22] -.- who called [12:22] msg nickserv [12:22] pauld ,nothing [12:23] paulD, if you do apt-get install gufw , its a gui for your firewall [12:23] will stop the attackerz :X [12:23] im actually on windows r00t [12:24] well then you deserve to be attacked :D [12:24] hah [12:24] lol [12:24] j/k [12:24] :D [12:24] lol [12:24] ./whois paulD [12:24] j/k [12:24] lol try me soyo [12:24] j/k as well, please dont [12:25] I'm a noob anyway I'm harmless [12:25] I could ping you to death if it was 1995 [12:25] with my current setup id probably cripple [12:25] !cloak [12:25] Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks - More information available in #freenode [12:25] dr willis, thanks [12:26] I need to get a cloak one of thes days [12:26] hi at all, someone can help me to install the dwl g-132 wireless card? [12:26] anyone ever dabble with diy wifi antennas ? [12:27] r00t4rd3d: to me the only thing a firewall is good for is if you have a port that you listen on and you only want it to work on some parts of your network, if you want no one to listen just don't open a port to listen there. [12:27] has anyone here noticed issues refrershing the list of repositories in synaptic? [12:28] also, whenever I try to search in synaptic, it closes on me automatically [12:29] james296: which repositories are you using? [12:29] the default set [12:29] Hmm.. according to the cloak url given above. You can use your nickserv password as the server password when connecting and it will auto identify. [12:29] james296: universe? [12:30] Dr_Willis: that seems less secure.. [12:30] yes [12:30] Soyo: given the # of times ive seen people paste their password in here.. its a tossup [12:31] God [12:31] oops [12:31] FML [12:31] so how can I fix that problem? [12:32] james296 Do you have DNS? [12:32] Im not sure [12:32] if you open a browser and type google.com will it come up? [12:32] it used to always work in the past, now it simply hasnt for the past several weeks [12:32] yes [12:32] of course [12:33] if I didnt have a working internet connection I wouldnt be on here would I? Im being serious [12:33] james296 you can have internet without dns [12:33] ive not noticed synaptic crashing on me. [12:33] There have been some isp issues along the east coast the last month however. [12:34] (east coast of the USA) :) [12:34] soyo are you referring to DHCP? [12:34] so should I have it check for the fastest server? [12:34] I am in USA on the east coast... let me try an update === james is now known as Guest53453 [12:35] Fetched 590kb in 2 secs [12:35] I recall seeing all sorts of twitter posts and articals during the xmas break about eastern seaboard outages. [12:35] but that sholdent crash synaptic [12:35] alcexhim: no [12:35] how to install opera in ubuntu? [12:35] heres a short error I get when trying to update through the main server, not the US server... [12:35] I used network manager to share internet coming to wlan0 with eth1 [12:36] Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.lzma Sub-process /usr/bin/lzma returned an error code (1) [12:36] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [12:36] sounds like a bad file on the server === honeypot_ is now known as honeypot [12:36] linker: just download it from opera.com [12:37] james296: were other files successful? [12:37] vitto89, how to download it from terminal [12:37] ? [12:37] linker: sudo apt-get install opera ? [12:37] linker: latest opera.deb from the opera web site works. and adds a repoistory to the system to keep it updated [12:37] I dont know, dont think anything can update [12:37] I used network manager to share internet coming to wlan0 with eth1, does eth1 now run a DHCP server? I keep getting adresses of another IP range but internet works... [12:37] linker: ah, right, not in repos unless added via their .deb... [12:38] thats the only thing listed in the result box [12:38] deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free #Opera Browser (final releases) [12:38] the repo for Opera. from Opera :) [12:38] so what might my problem be? [12:38] netsplit I remember back when I was teenager we used to take channels over during net splits and put bots in there, lol. [12:39] honeypot: I guess all you need is to bridge them and your original dhcp will provide what's needed, I'm not sure how network-manager does it but I assume that's what they do [12:39] Hmm. i see all tehse Translation-us messages again when i update.. never have figured out whythey show up.. then vanish. [12:39] Ign http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security/main Translation-en_US [12:39] Soyo: did that ever pan out to anything useful or just fun === root__ is now known as glh5 [12:40] tehowe: negative, just fun [12:40] james296: extras worked for me --> Hit http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release.gpg [12:40] sacarlson, when I bridge them will eth1 clients be as if they are connected directly to router (like wlan0)? [12:40] guys i need help for configuring my usb web cam [12:40] I'm trying to install the dwl g-132 wless card, but it still don't work. someone can help? [12:40] james296: deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [12:41] akash6190: how have you tested the webcam so far? [12:41] what do you mean [12:41] Soyo: ah, the golden days of moral irresponsibility *longing sigh* [12:41] honeypot: yes they will all get the same gateways and dns server data [12:41] james296: that line in my sources.list is working at this time. I am in Indiana. [12:41] yeah it works on windows ...on linux it is not being detected [12:41] Is there a way to change the location of the "Music" folder? [12:41] Ileden: ah the golden days of having nothing better to do. [12:41] so are you saying the servers are down?? [12:41] I do miss it [12:41] somethinginteres: the ubuntu-tweak program can do that.. theres proberly other ways. [12:41] honeypot: what mode does it put your wifi card in? adhoc? [12:42] that way I'll disable what network manager did, and set up the bridge [12:42] james296: the one i just used seesm to be up. It could be it selects them from a pool. and one of the pool servers is down [12:42] scarlson: no AP mode [12:42] somethinginteres, try $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs [12:42] I mean client mode [12:42] but its been like that for me for a couple weeks [12:42] honeypot: cool, my ralink can't get into AP mode [12:42] would it seriously be down for that long? [12:42] So, erm, how does Canonical's move towards cloud storage help or hinder the attack on Internet anonymity staged by Kasperksy, Microsoft's OpenID et al? [12:42] james296: see what extras server is in your sources.list [12:42] james296: that one i just used.. is working. [12:42] Soyo: indeed. and the golden days of realizing how inexistant the school computer security is compared to one's own mad skillz... [12:43] Dr_Willis rumpe1: that's what I'm after [12:43] anonymity is nice... but can get in the way of getting stuff done.. so you have to balance things out. [12:43] scarlson: sorry, it's in client mode (managed?) alfa 1000mw it supports AP mode though [12:44] deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [12:44] vitto89: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthred.php?t=146018 [12:44] scarlson, I'll disable what network manager did, could you tell me where I get some info to bridge two cards plz [12:45] Ileden: lol yesss [12:45] honeypot: oh your shareing in the oposite direction from wifi to ethX, that works too [12:45] scarlson: yah, I need ethX to recieve internet just like wlan0 does [12:45] CORRECTION vitto89: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=146018 [12:46] Dr_Willis: I have some misgivings that dissidents in rather nasty states will suffer... I hope that 'balance' will be balanced in these here parts. [12:46] so Im still unable to fix the problem here [12:46] !ot | tehowe [12:46] akash6190: how have you even tried to use it on linux? you tried it in the program 'cheese' yet? [12:46] scarlson internet: wlan0==>eth1 [12:46] honeypot: I thought you were sharing? you are recieving on both to that machine? [12:47] tehowe: heh. well, if ubottu weren't being odd, she'd tell you that #ubuntu is for Ubuntu tech support, and that #ubuntu-offtopic is probably a better venue for your question [12:47] honeypot: ok [12:47] akash6190: it may be its not supported if cheese dont see it. You coudl try the next alpha relase of ubuntu and see if it works in that.

[14:04] i have a 75GB / partition.. i want to resize this to 50GB and then use the remaining 25GB as / for another distro im installing. tips? i seem to be able to use resize2fs from a live dvd to resize my 75GB partition, but i ran into problems creating/formatting a new partition afterwards last time, tips? [14:04] psycho_oreos, some human interaction is allowed [14:04] file system check = fsck [14:04] you're meant to ask for support not to paste some joke? [14:05] hi, i'd like to play counter-strike on linux, i installed it with wine and launched, but it doesn't work with OpenGl, i have intel 945GME videocard and it seems opengl to be, can anybody help?? [14:05] thekid: nope, 100% packet loss [14:05] bluj: use gparted [14:05] bonjoyee, ty. [14:05] psycho [14:05] presley, ask in #winehq [14:05] forsetius: 100% loss to the desktop or to an internet host? [14:05] thanks [14:05] no ty [14:06] thekid: to internet host, to desktop is ok === hadeS_ is now known as Guest8981 [14:06] forsetius: then the laptop configuration is correct. Problem is at the desktop side. [14:07] ubuntu is the poormans os [14:08] arrivederci [14:08] a === Greeper is now known as TeamsterLinux [14:09] hi [14:09] forsetius: ( pinging desktop = ok , pinging outside 100% loss means the laptop is correctly sending the packets to the gateway (desktop) yet the desktop doesn't function as an "internet sharing device" so it doesnt forward packets back and forth, that's what needs to be fixed) if the desktop is running linux then tell some more about how did you setup the "connection sharing" [14:09] i'd rather be a poor man with brains. than a rich man, with no brains. [14:09] thekid im getting packet loss to thekid [14:09] what do i do, i use ping on ubuntu [14:09] thekid: on desktop there is ppp0 configured in NetworkManager via Auto (PPP) and eth0 via Connection Sharing [14:10] ding ding ding [14:10] hi TeamsterLinux. [14:10] also, I installed Firestarter and dhcp3-server [14:10] hhi p2p4 [14:10] forsetius: what does "iptables -t nat -L" say on the desktop? [14:10] ) [14:10] Anyone here with experience about bluetooth GPRS? Everything seems ok, and when I run "pon BluetoothDialup" my phone initiates a modem connection, then immediately drops it. /var/log/messages reports "LCP terminated by peer" right after ppp0<-->rfcomm0 and pap authentication. I've used the phone successfully before with the exact same chatscript and other config, and same bluetooth adapter, and the connection also works with Win7 so it's not impossible... Any diagn [14:10] hi [14:11] irc sucks [14:11] * TeamsterLinux leaves [14:11] * TeamsterLinux splits like a tree and leaves [14:11] Ileden: have u tried network-manager? [14:11] TeamsterLinux you suck [14:11] does anyone in here know if i can use an Ubunutu5 machine to act as a apt-cacher, to ubuntu10 machines i have on my lan?

If you want to be offtopic, try #ubuntu-offtopic [14:15] thekid: seems it's working now. I just have to keep firestarter running [14:15] hello [14:15] pici i need support with the ! command, help me please! [14:15] bonjoyee: yeah, it did work for me in the previous laptop, where the direct "pon" worked also. [14:15] f10d0r: Does that do what you needed? [14:15] you seem to have a facination with !, tell me more! [14:15] nop [14:16] it shows only folders [14:16] i neeed files [14:16] f10d0r: Oh dear. One moment. [14:16] all files [14:17] f10d0r: No it says it checks files as well. =O [14:17] thekid: thanks a lot for advice [14:17] forsetius: if you dont' want to keep it running you can always share the connection manually by typing "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE " the console on the desktop [14:18] f10d0r: i just tried it and it does files as well. What did you do? [14:18] assuming ppp0 is your outside connection [14:19] sorry no idea about firestarter never used it [14:19] hello, how can i add language to keybord on KDE? [14:19] stefanos you want #kubuntu [14:20] thekid: will issuing it once will suffice or do I have to put it in /etc/rc.d or similar? [14:20] i have installed KDE on ubuntu.. [14:20] hello all i need some help to resize my partition [14:20] i have installed KDE... [14:20] stefanos: http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s07.html#regional-keyboardlayout [14:20] Salut [14:20] stefanos, yes, well, you still want #kubuntu, because that is what you call ubuntu when it's running kde === adrian is now known as Guest29241 [14:20] why do chroot give this message chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [14:21] nio: you can use gParted === SuP|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away [14:21] nio: it's very easy to use [14:22] i am using ubuntu 8.04lts and need to resize my / from the partition of vmware how to do that because i think i need to unmount / is this possible [14:22] gparted didn't allow to resize / [14:22] nio, you just boot from a cd === Guest29241 is now known as Ader [14:22] in vmware you could use a cd image [14:22] nio: do it with the LiveCD [14:23] ok [14:23] Hello, I am having a slight problem with Ubuntu [14:23] nio: are you running ubuntu virtualized? [14:23] but what will happen to my vmware if i resize its partition [14:23] thekid, thank you [14:23] forsetius: settings on both the laptop and the desktop will wanish after a reboot ( maybe even on reconnect regarding the desktop ) so yes you need to add the commands ( route add default gw , and iptables -t nat... on the desktop ) to some kind of init script than runs these. On the desktop you should add the iptables line to /etc/ppp/idontremember/ifup.d so it will share the connection upon connect automatically, on the laptop it [14:23] doesn't matter where you put it really, /etc/rc.local is perfect. [14:23] no i am not using virtual ubuntu [14:23] nio: so you are running ubuntu under vmware or vmware under ubuntu? [14:23] LogicallyDashing, yes.. i am new :) [14:24] I tried to install xampp, but received some errors when I try to run it. After some research online, I think this may have something to do with it being a 32 bit application? Could this be the problem? [14:24] i am using vmware under ubuntu to test [14:24] we are having a conference about ubuntu and open-source. can anyone guide me how to get some ubuntu cds shipped? its urgent [14:24] can anyone tell me how to stop an active lvm device? i want to stop it and remove it, vgremove/lvremove says it's 'open' - but it's not mounted anywherre [14:24] * anywhere [14:24] nio: are you running lvm? [14:24] nio: if so, you can enlarge partitions on fly [14:24] thekid: thanks again, bye [14:24] bonjoyee: right, ok, stupid me for not trying that. it works when I set it up from the network manager... wonder why it doesn't when I use it directly. [14:24] hmm.. lvm? [14:24] am I likely to be able to run a Simulator in Wine that uses DirectX 3D acceleration? [14:24] how to find out that [14:25] wildc4rd, it depends on what version of directx [14:25] like about 100-200 [14:25] Hi :) [14:25] nio: pass sudo df -h to pastebin [14:25] User3543: Is there a reason you're using xampp instead of the LAMP stack that is in the Ubuntu Repositories? [14:25] ok [14:25] wildc4rd, you should look it up in appdb.winehq.org [14:25] bye all [14:25] Ileden: did u follow any guide to setup from the cli? id like to learn that as well..could you post the link? [14:25] wildc4rd: you should be able to, it's working for me "by itself" didn't configure anything but my single d3d game ( sam and max) runs perfectly [14:26] Pici: I believe with xampp MySQL is already set up whereas with lamp it requires some sort of configuration? I have not used lamp before so I may be mistaken? [14:26] LogicallyDashing, were is the theme change? [14:26] Hello, anyone here who can help me with a little problem ? [14:26] gobbe it is showing my partition information [14:26] stefanos, what are you talking about? [14:26] wildc4rd: you should try it and if it fails copy the error here [14:27] !ask | lackevafan [14:27] lackevafan: 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. :-) [14:27] bonjoyee: sure, it was the ubuntu wiki guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup [14:27] LogicallyDashing, soz.. wrong asked.. how do I change the theme layout on KDE? [14:27] Ileden: thanks [14:27] ie. I was under the impression that with xampp it's essentially install it and run, whereas lamp is more complicated [14:27] stefanos, in KDE System Settings, under Appearance [14:27] nio: put it to pastebin [14:27] :) [14:28] nio: and what does command sudo lvdisplay say [14:28] bonjoyee: not the easiest, but the problem is my phone keeps changing Dialup channels, and I have a custom script set up to check which channel the phone has active, and bind the connection to that channel... [14:28] User3543: It is a little more complicated, but with the packages in the repositories you are gauranteed security updates. Also, we do not support xampp here, only the packaged install. [14:28] !lamp [14:28] 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+) === hh88 is now known as hh99 [14:28] command not found gobbe [14:28] gobbe command not found [14:29] nio: ok, put output of the df to pastebin, and give url [14:29] LogicallyDashing, thank you again :) [14:29] nio, what are you trying to do ? [14:29] logicallydashing/thekid, Thanks, looking on that site it seems that it installs but won't run properly [14:30] coz_ need to take the extra size of the vmware partition to / bcoz it is 90% full [14:30] gobbe, oh sorry...:) I thought the command not found was "gobbe" lol [14:30] time to dig out the old Windows CD, lol [14:30] i have sftp users rooted to /jail/home.......how can i allow access to an external drive to these users? [14:30] hi, where can i find the httpd.conf file (apache) [14:30] coz_: :D [14:30] ok dhcp is failing to start and stop [14:30] Today I changed the cpu in my server using ubuntu server 10.10, now the problem is that when I try to boot up the server it just becomes a black screen. Even when I try to reinstall via the LiveCD i only get a black screen when you press the "Install to Hard Drive ', someone who can help me? [14:31] Pici, thank you I am looking at the link you posted now... Out of curiousity, is there any difference between the method on that website compared to this command which I found at ubuntuforums.org? ie. sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin [14:31] gobbe what you want when you say output of df command to "pastebin" file and which url y r talking [14:31] User3543: No difference. [14:31] nio: well, copy-paste what that comamnd gave and put it to pastebin [14:31] ok dhcp is failing to start and stop any ideas? [14:31] bonjoyee: not sure if network manager can handle the rebinging. if it can, I'm fine (though I'd like to know a command that opens the connection, to bind it to keyboard shortcut...) [14:32] User3543: Although the lamp-server install doesn't include phpmyadmin. [14:32] nio: pastebin.ubuntu.com [14:32] hi I haave a problem whit this page [14:32] http://www.colombia.com/radio/player.asp?id=628 [14:33] dannyLopez: what kind of problem === nicko is now known as supernicko === rrt is now known as bernaarr [14:34] when i plu a USB HDD in. it would auto display on desktop. now it doesn't, i have to goto computer.. any idea? [14:34] gobbe: the plugin of windows media player [14:34] Hi. can anyone tell me if there is an amd64 build of Ubuntu Netbook Remix release? [14:34] now3d: there is not [14:34] now3d: no [14:34] now3d: netbook is only for 32bit [14:34] why isn't there anything in my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file? apache is running well .... [14:34] can someone tell me how do get control centre its not in system-preference or administrator [14:34] dannyLopez, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:34] now3d: most netbooks are 32bit so it would be pointless (for compatibiility and performance gains) [14:34] gobbe: Ah ok. So my 4GB netbook with 64bit cpu must run the desktop one? [14:34] Pici: Ah okay, so phpMyAdmin is the difference. I do need phpMyAdmin actually.... with the "sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin" does it just download phpMyAdmin and I have to set it up manually, or does it do otherwise? [14:35] How do I configure apache to process a php file rather than offer for download? [14:35] coz_: I have the extras [14:35] now3d: netbook remix is same as desktop, but it has ubity-desktop as default [14:35] gobbe here is the url http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549845/ [14:35] dannyLopez, also install vlc and the vlc pluging for firefox hold on let me get package name [14:35] JuJuBee, it mentioned that problem at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [14:35] gobbe: ok, so I can run the desktop amd64 CD, and then apt-get install ubity-desktop [14:35] nio: and sudo /sbin/lvdisplay didn't return anything? [14:35] Search for the line "Does your browser ask if you want to download the php file instead of displaying it?" [14:35] now3d: yes [14:36] wait [14:36] it says no file [14:36] aeon-ltd: i think some netbooks are 64bit, or if they are 12", perhaps they are no longer called netbooks! [14:36] i mean no command found [14:36] anyone installed handbrake on 11.04? [14:36] dannyLopez, mm its playing here without it but the package is named mozilla-plugin-vlc [14:36] aeon-ltd: Are you a UK limited company? like IT contractor? [14:36] nio: ok, so you don't have lvm's [14:36] ok [14:36] nio: then extending is much harder [14:37] now3d: the netbook edition has the possibilty of chosing between the usual gnome desktop / netbook desktop on the login screen so get the netbook version, you won't miss out on anything the desktop edition has to offer [14:37] dannyLopez, recently I have been installing all vlc packages in the repository...so far no issues on any website [14:37] hibba: for11.04 use #ubuntu+1 [14:37] gobbe what will happens if i uninstall vmware and then try to resize using livecd [14:37] tks coz_ [14:37] thanks! :) [14:37] nio: well, there's no need to uninstall vmware [14:37] windows 7 not booting after installing ubuntu 10.10 on dell inspiron 1510 === sanchaz-away is now known as sanchaz [14:37] Is there a CLI command I can run to open a specific Mobile Broadband connection via Network Manager? [14:37] now3d: no, why? [14:37] Are you all mostly in the USA? [14:38] Pici: thanks for your help, hopefully lamp works out well... i'll give it a try now :) [14:38] Cya [14:38] now3d: no [14:38] aeon-ltd: We use "ltd" as abreviation of "Limited company2 [14:38] now3d: your going offtopic now [14:38] can someone tell me how do get control centre its not in system-preference or administrator [14:38] actually i have to learn quemu vmware is easy [14:38] aeon-ltd: Was going to ask about USA laptop and getting ubuntu working on it.. [14:38] now3d: i know my name was just some random oxymoron i made up - 'aeon' - endless upon endless 'ltd' a limit [14:39] vikas_: that's a common mistake, you need to buy a new laptop and win7 license :D or... tell us what does "not booting" mean? any error message? ( ntlrd is missing or the like, black screen of death..? ) [14:39] User3543: I read that and still doing prompting for download libapache2-mod-php5 is installed and php5 mod is enabled... [14:39] I was going to get a "Asus Eee PC 1215N", however, the reviews look pretty bad at getting ubuntu working on it. Looking at Dell Vostro 13" now, or Dell ADamo [14:40] now3d: if you really want 64bit just use regular ubuntu, however whats funny is that unr isn't actually more suited for anything on a netbook besides crappy trackpads and small keyboards [14:40] ech_Phr34k: go to Preferences->Main Menu->System and click on Control Center [14:40] ech_Phr34k: it will appear in the menu [14:40] now3d, aeon-ltd is right [14:40] now3d: if you're willing to put the work into getting all hardware to work, its roughly the same (except a few chipsets) [14:41] aeon-ltd: yes, i understand. I am just aware of the address limits.. if the machine has 4GB ram, I presume possibly not all of it is addressable from 32bit mode..? [14:41] now3d: asus 1005ha here, tried both, no difference [14:41] Thomas_Anderson, i cant see control centre [14:41] now3d: use the pae-kernel to use your full 4gb on 32bit [14:41] thekid: do you mean not even more effort needed? [14:41] anyone know how to make xdg autostart work with openbox? it seems like xdg-autostart is missing. [14:42] Thomas_Anderson, got it thanks [14:42] now3d: i have 16g ram in a 32bit box and of course it's addressable ( lookup highmem support in the kernel ) [14:42] now3d: dont' ask how it works i have no idea but it does :) [14:43] hi room [14:43] now3d: there is a separate kernel designed for 32bit ubuntu to accesss 4gb of ram, its called the pae kernel [14:43] hello [14:43] now3d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE === root is now known as c0mrade [14:44] thekid: ;) so maybe there is absolutely no benefit for me using 64bit edition on this 64bit 13" laptop, may make more sense to keep runing in 32bit mode.. saves 2bytes off every pointer too ;) [14:44] now3d: no more effort or anything, the netbook edition is basically just offers you a different "theme" optimized for small screens but you can always start a normal gnome session [14:44] UWhy does apach2 on ubuntu prompt me to download php file instead of processing? I did sudo a2enmod php5 and sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 and restarted apache. Still no luck [14:44] can i use a ubuntu5 machine to act as a local repository(apt-cacher) sever, for ubuntu 10, lan members? [14:44] aeon-ltd: thanks for the link [14:44] now3d: also most netbooks don't come with 4gb of ram or more, its easier and more cost effective to change your software instead of upgrading hardware [14:45] I'm having problems installing ubuntu 10 onto my new laptop [14:45] hopefully not OT but... last night I installed Docky.... wouldn't that have saved some good people doing hard work on Unity some time [as in set it vertically for UNE and leave choice for desktop]. Anyone know if there's a tech reason why not? [14:45] can someone help [14:45] what will happens if i uninstall vmware and then try to resize using livecd [14:45] uh, is wubi broken? [14:46] I want to use 'rob' as my username cause that is my name, and it keeps saying enter a valid username :\ [14:46] thekid, the boot selection failed because required device is inaccessible, [14:46] oh, it actually wanted me to specify a password, nothing wrong with my username. weird error message... [14:47] we are having a conference about ubuntu and open-source. can anyone guide me how to get some ubuntu cds shipped? its urgent [14:47] JuJuBee: did you check /etc/apache2/mods-enabled if it's really there? [14:47] theos: uhhh, they don't do that anymore iirc [14:47] theos: You may want to ask in #ubuntu-community-team [14:47] :( [14:47] theos: just burn some, but md5sum first [14:47] p2p4: Ubuntu 5? If you mean 5.04 or 5.10, then those two releases are entirely unsupported. [14:47] oh thanks :) [14:48] thekid: yes it is there a link to the .conf and load are present [14:48] can anyone help me get xdg autostart working in openbox? [14:48] hello [14:50] i have python-xdg installed, but it seems that the xdg-autostart script is missing. i have no /usr/lib/openbox [14:50] /xdg-autostart. [14:50] ugh. how can I get wubi to download faster? it's going at like 15kb/s... I have a 50mbit line here :< [14:50] I am looking to buy a bluetooth adapter for my desktop, would this be compatible with ubuntu? http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K33902US-Bluetooth-Micro-Adapter/dp/B000YA1XU2/ref=pd_sim_e_6 thanks! [14:51] Hey guys i REAALLLY need some help [14:51] hello everyone :) [14:51] I have to be able to use my laptop [14:51] ethanol: you can download the .iso before hand and stick it in the same dir and wubi will use that instead of downloading it [14:51] ethanol, just u a torrent to download a iso , very fast , then put wubi and your iso in the same folder and run wubi [14:51] and without an operating system it won't work at all [14:51] ah ok [14:52] just wondering if anyone could help me out with something from wineHQ [14:52] I want to download a patch, so I clicked on it [14:52] but all I got was this page of code [14:52] http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=24812 [14:52] vikas_: fix windows using this tutorial: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 , after it boots you need to reinstall grub2. Boot from a live cd, mount the drive like sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt , then grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda , then reboot from hdd. start linux, and type update-grub in case windows is missing from the bootmenu. That's it in a nutshell :D [14:53] can wubi install 10.10 ? [14:53] ethanol, here are the official torrents http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [14:54] yeah grabbed one of those [14:54] only getting 2.2mb :( but it beats 15kb/s [14:54] my installation have stopped at the "who are you?" part [14:55] the forward button won't light up when it says "ready when you are" [14:55] have you got your password correct? [14:55] Eket, are you using uppercase letters in your username? === tball is now known as Terrax121 [14:56] I did [14:56] and now it works [14:56] THANKS rs0832 [14:56] Hello again... Pici, good news the LAMP install seemed to go fine [14:56] Eket, no problem:) [14:56] no ideas? [14:56] How can I turn on the boot menu, so I can choose another kernel than default one? [14:57] There's just two problems, and I suspect they are easy fixes... the first being I can't seem to save a file into var/www/ as it says I do not have the correct permissions? [14:57] User3145, use gksudo gedit [14:57] from a term [14:58] but be careful [14:58] User3145: or add your user to www-data group [14:58] sander^work, it's displayed by default by GRUB [14:58] damnit. wubi does not accept 10.10 ? [14:59] yeah it does [14:59] it says it's downloading 10.04 [14:59] sander^work, if you have single boot, try keeping shift pressed from boot [14:59] even though 10.10 iso is in the same directory [14:59] Thanks, I tried using gksudo and I can now edit the file (just to test, I edited index.html) however when I reload http://localhost the change does not take effect? I am probably missing something obvious, but when I used EasyPHP on Windows a simple change like this would take effect straight away [14:59] ethanol, wubi and the iso in a folder all by themselves [14:59] if it still trys to download , redownload wubi [15:00] Hello everyone. Just wondering if their is a Bash command to switch to a different ubuntu "workspace". Any help is appreciated. [15:00] is it that picky? :< [15:00] sure is [15:01] nope, redownloaded still mentions 10.04 [15:01] cancel it , delete wubi.exe then dl new copy [15:01] N1k0s, perhaps wmcontrol? - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3561425&postcount=6 [15:01] N1k0s: i guess bash doesn't know much about your X session, definiately not the workspaces so .. i guess there's not without some minor coding, check the source of the workspace switcher applet maybe, no better idea. [15:02] N1k0s, hold down alt - ctrl and use the left right arrow keys :/ [15:02] hello. i currently have a partition on /dev/sda1, ubuntu10.04 32 bit. i want to install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit to try it out. im going to install it on a partition /dev/sda7 (or something). if i decide its better and i want to get rid of 10.04, is it possible to copy all my files over from sda7 to sda1 and it still work okay (after formating sda1). what things would i need to change? ( i know i dont need to copy it over, but its prettier :P) [15:02] r00t4rd3d, I did that [15:02] N1k0s, switch to uid0 and emulate keypresses :D [15:02] Hello, How i can online internet with console? I have add internet in the custom aplication gnome. [15:02] N1k0s: there might be an dbus function to do so [15:02] ethanol, do you have a way to mount the iso with like daemon tools ? [15:02] Howdy [15:02] dhcp fails to restart [15:03] r00t4rd3d, possible. I'll try [15:03] lamik_: browse the internet with "lynx" from the console ( view web pages ) if you meant that... [15:03] Hello everybody; I am attempting to install sun-java6 on 10.10 server using the Sun Java6 Community PPA. I used [15:03] dhcp fails to restart any idea's [15:03] no one knows about xdg autostart? [15:03] ethanol, there is wubi in the iso too , use that one [15:03] Where can I find the Java plugin for Ubuntu 10.10? [15:03] shadow42085, wifi or ethernet? [15:04] is there a utility that writes 0's to free space in ext4? [15:04] ethanol, use winrar to extract the wubi from the iso [15:04] I used add-apt-repository to add the PPA to the list, and it shows up in /etc/sources.list. However, even after running apt-get update, I am unable to pull the sun-java6 package. [15:04] r00t4rd3d, used 7zip [15:04] i am using my laptop so wifi [15:04] r00t4rd3d, thanks - says 10.10 now :) [15:04] j_ayen_green: Use the dd if command [15:04] ethanol, ive had that problem too sometimes [15:04] good good [15:04] System_Default_0, I believe there's icedtea, if you want to install Sun's version you have to use a PPA [15:04] shadow42085, try sudo dhclient [15:05] Sir_Fawnpug: Ok [15:05] ok [15:05] r00t4rd3d, oh bloody hell lol, now it says it's download 10.10 : [15:05] Sir_Fawnpug, you dont need a ppa for the sun java [15:05] s/download/downloading/ [15:05] N1k0s, maybe get a keylogger source code so you know how to interact with the keyboard .. but it's really messy to do. Rather write a "server" that runs on the graphical interface, and a client that connects to it so it should work, but no simple solution [15:05] System_Default_0: ok...is there any negative side effects to doing that? I need to do it so I can get the vbox hard disk file for 20gb file system back to 20gb instead of 50. [15:05] ethanol, you have daemon tools installed ? [15:05] gobbe: is "sudo useradd -G www-data myusername" the correct command to add my account to the www-data group? [15:05] r00t4rd3d, meh, 1m 20s left, I can live with that [15:06] lol k [15:06] i have searched forums, google, blogs, and more trying to find the answer. i just can't find it. [15:06] Sir_Fawnpug, you just enable the partner repositories [15:06] rs0832, perhaps I've missed it; I couldn't find it anywhere in multiverse, and various places I've read have said that I needed too [15:06] But I'm probably mistaken [15:06] rs0832, OK, I'll give that a try. [15:06] j_ayen_green: Are you telling me that, you need to reasign your disk space? [15:06] !java | Sir_Fawnpug [15:06] Sir_Fawnpug: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [15:06] well i am running ubuntu live cd through vmware [15:07] so my laptop is hooked up via wifi [15:07] !partner | Sir_Fawnpug The partner repositories [15:07] Sir_Fawnpug The partner repositories: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [15:07] System_Default_0: I don't know what that means. the vbox channel, i was told i need to zero the free space in the guest, then compress the vdi file in the host... they suggested dd if=/dev/zero of=/zerofile.bin and them rm /zerofile.bin [15:09] because the free space won't be given up by vbox if it's not 0's [15:09] User3145: sudo useradd -a -G www-data username [15:09] Sir_Fawnpug, oh, and make sure you remove the icedtea plugin, so that sun-java plugin can replace it in your browser [15:09] hey there, guys i might need some help, yesterday I installed ubuntu 10.04 made some skype calls and my mic was working, today I updated to 11.04 and now the mic cannot record anything [15:10] could someone help ? [15:10] gobbe: tried that, just like the command I posted above.. it just prints out a series of lines from the man page [15:10] -g, --gid GROUP name or id of the primary group... etc [15:10] hmm maybe it will work better if i am in my install of linux [15:10] invalid option 'a' in fact [15:11] thanks guys :) [15:11] System_Default_0: but he added "this will fill up your harddisk completely! may cause trouble with loggers and stuff" ... which I wanted to check on first. he had said the zerofil utility would be the first choice, but i don't see one for ext4 [15:11] User3145: you can do that from graphical management also [15:11] Hmm, hold on. I just re-ran the command and now it says "useradd: user 'user' already exists" so it must have added [15:12] Ub3r-N00b, Ubuntu 11.04 is under development; install ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat [15:12] User3145: sorry, sudo usermod -a -G www-data username [15:12] Ub3r-N00b, try the the #ubuntu+1 channel if no one here can help... that is the 11.04 support channel [15:12] User3145: useradd also is able to modify groups [15:12] Thomas_Anderson, thanks [15:13] how can i see when the last nvidia driver update was installed and potentially roll back? (my screen res has fallen back to 1024x768 since last reboot. 1680x1050 is nowhere to be seen in the settings) [15:13] gobbe: the usermod command didn't output anything so it looked to be successful [15:13] j_ayen_green: dd if=/dev/zero of=/zerofile.bin maybe is gonna erase your disk. [15:13] However I still can't save any files [15:13] User3145: you can see that with id username [15:13] N1k0s: http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/xdotool#desktop_and_window_commands [15:13] gobbe: sorry, what do you mean by ID username? === Keith__ is now known as keith- [15:14] User3145: you can see that you have new group [15:14] Folks, is there a way to downgrade xfce4?

[15:14] User3145: command id username [15:14] System_Default_0: well definitely do Not want to do that. how would I use dd if to just 0 the free space? [15:14] User3145, type it in the terminal : id [15:14] j_ayen_green: I'm on it. [15:14] Okay, I've entered that command [15:15] I do see www-data in the list [15:15] j_ayen_green: I found something: http://david.currie.name/archives/2006/12/07/shrinking-linux-vmware-images [15:15] System_Default_0: i'll have a read...thanks!

[15:16] i have a folder with sub folders/files. how do i set permissons to all?? GUI [15:16] so i have an ati mobility radeon hd4225. If i use the radeon driver my system locks up at random. If I use the ati driver unity will not work (i'm using 10.10 netbook edition).... i would love to just use the radeon driver, but i can't pinpoint what is causing the lockup. anyone with a suggestion? [15:16] If www-data appears in the list, why am I still having problems with the permissions on var/www? [15:16] Sir_Fawnpug, :) no problem [15:16] but I got error: bash: ./.vimrc: line 10: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' [15:16] I can't install Java because I have a slowpoke internet connection. [15:16] User3145: clsoe terminal and reopen it [15:16] Ok [15:16] GaryD: google 1st hit so possibly not what you're looking for but have a look, maybe... [15:16] rs0832, I just needed the sun-java because I'm running a minecraft server [15:16] User3145: group change will be efective after relogin or reopen of terminal [15:16] thekid: no help there. i have no problem using the autostart.sh file. what i want is to be able to drop desktop files in the /etc/xdg/autostart and /.config/autostart folders and the programs will start at login. [15:16] And I usually use ubuntu for my servers [15:17] Sir_Fawnpug, k cool:) [15:17] gobbe, When accessing var do I always have to precede the command with sudo, even though I have added the account to the www-data group [15:17] GaryD: nothing useful found so i would just modify the autostart.sh to your needs [15:17] User3145: no you dont [15:18] i have a folder with sub folders/files. how do i set permissons to all?? GUI [15:18] ie. cd www/ results in "Permission denied" [15:18] User3145: cd /var/www ? [15:18] User3145: have you changed permissions of www-folder? [15:18] User3145: Try performing it as root. [15:18] User3145: it should be world readable [15:18] the kid: i am building a custom ubuntu based on openbox. a minimal setup. however, i want to be able to use xdg autostart. [15:18] cd var/www results in No such file or directory [15:18] Yes I changed it to 774, should I make it 777? [15:18] User3145: cd /var/www [15:19] User3145: well, 775 would be better [15:19] gobbe, with the slash I still get permission denied [15:19] kyle1: press alt+f2, then type find /folder/ -iname * --exec chmod 777 {}\; no better idea :D [15:19] User3145: yep, so your userrights are wrong, /var/www needs to be readable by everyone or apache is not working [15:20] chmod 775 www/ (when inside the var directory) results in "Operation not permitted" [15:20] User3145: sudo chmod 755 /var/www [15:20] I thought sudo was no longer required now? [15:20] With sudo, no error [15:20] User3145: you need sudo to change rights [15:21] User3145: but you can write there [15:21] Ah okay [15:21] User3145: if you have changed rights to any files under /var/www you need to correct them also [15:21] If I try "touch test1.php" I still get "Permission denied" [15:21] System_Default_0: that post implies that on a ntfs file system (which is what my host is) I can use vmware diskmanager to shrink the volume? [15:21] User3145: sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www [15:21] f [15:21] User3145: have you changed other rights? [15:22] No [15:22] i guess that's more a vbox question [15:22] User3145: who is owner of /var/www? [15:23] j_ayen_green: Yeah. [15:23] gobbe: My main account, user, I presume [15:23] gobbe: I am :D [15:23] I just installed lamp though [15:23] User3145: can you check them= [15:24] gobbe: ls -al /var/www [15:24] gobbe: I have root [15:24] I don't know the command to check the directory owner? [15:24] Guest12982: what kind of problem do you have? [15:24] User3145: ls -al /var | grep www [15:25] Okay, what should I be looking for in that line of output? [15:25] gobbe: how do we pm.. I don't a problem, thought I was answering yours :D [15:25] kyle1, : actually the command is "find /whatever/ -exec chmod 777 {} \;" sorry [15:25] drwxr-xr-x [15:26] someone know any nice programming or computer books ?? [15:26] hi .. I have an issue with WiFi .. laptop keeps asking for the key .. I'm using irc from mobile .. [15:26] User3145, why are you trying to change the permissions? [15:27] Guest12982: i dont have problem, i'm trying to help :) [15:27] I can't write to any files [15:27] User3145: what else [15:27] unknoown: there's some good lists of those online, search for that at http://stackoverflow.com [15:27] User3145: there should be also owner and group [15:27] User3145, well, if it means anything, i am using cherokee server, and /var/www has the same permissions [15:27] what to search for ileden [15:27] After that: 2 root root [15:27] carpediembaby: cancelling will get rid of wireless key (although not recommended by Ubuntu) [15:28] 4096, the data and time then "www" [15:28] unknoown: umh, "programming books" or just "books"... geez... [15:28] *date and time I mean [15:28] guest12982 : cancelling ? [15:28] hmm [15:28] gobbe: lol not a problem.. problem. " what ya looking at lad" [15:29] I don't see my user account "user" in there anywhere, but I have never run that command before so I don't know if that is a bad thing or not?

[15:31] i need help with burning a Iso file to dvd [15:31] User3145, [15:31] User3145: did you do that in /var/www ? === aurelien is now known as Guest5192 [15:31] User3145: chmod 770 /var/www [15:31] KLK, which buring application are you using [15:31] gobbe: yes [15:31] thekid: no [15:31] Hi. I am using OS X right now, but I'd like to dual boot Ubuntu 10.10. I've read documentation, but I need assistance. Can I just go into the Ubuntu install and partition it or do I have to do something before? [15:31] thekid: /var/www needs to be readable [15:32] gobbe, so he cant even read from it [15:32] coz none yet iam on backtrack live cd [15:32] i've noticed some apps (e.g. firefox) living in /usr/lib and linking out to /usr/bin. seems to be happening with increasing frequency. is this some new standard? [15:32] gobbe: /var/www should really not be readable for 'others' but as you wish :) [15:32] rs0832: ? [15:32] KLK, ah mmm and you want to burn a cd while on the live cd? [15:32] MJ94: use ubuntu to partition I guess. Not sure which is best installed over other ie win 1st then Ubuntu 2nd is recommended [15:32] thekid: why should not? [15:33] its better to just add ppl to the www-data group than allowing global access [15:33] gobbe, i was asking if the problem was that he couldnt even read from the directory [15:33] rs0832: aah, ok [15:33] MJ94: the ubuntu installer will automatically create a partition for ubuntu next to MAC and let you do dual boot [15:33] Thanks Thomas_Anderson. [15:34] This is just an offline install so I can run some PHP scripts incidentally [15:34] Hi i have a Realtek® 8112L network card and no drivers installed from clean install of ubuntu 10.10.

I changed the theme from ambiance to clearlooks but all the menus and menubars stay black [15:37] coz_ ok [15:37] KLK: system / administration / synaptic package manager , search for brasero and install it. after it's done you'll find it in the applications menu. Start it, choose burn image, select the iso file, insert disc and done.

[15:40] rs0832: the menus. as in "File Edit View" or the context menus. they're all black even if I change the theme [15:40] KLK: either you already *are* or you need to change the ident in your client [15:40] !sudo | KLK [15:40] KLK: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[15:41] It was suggested I use sudo usermod ... earlier [15:41] Jatz, the color of the text? if you want just the background color, change it in the 'controls' tab of the customize window [15:41] maco: ok sry [15:41] thekid: No, sudo -s instead of sudo bash, and sudo -i will log you in as root. [15:42] i have problems with evolution freezing all the time with ms exchange 2003 [15:42] coz_, there is no option to repair. Only "mark for removal" and "mark for installation". [15:42] thekid: klk's trouble is that they need to make their client *stop* saying they're root [15:42] is there any other exchange client available to try on ubuntu? [15:43] RippleEffect, look under the File menu then [15:43] maco ok \ [15:43] your evolution is using Imap? [15:43] maco, I'm logging back in now [15:43] coz_, When I click on "fix broken packages" nothing happens. [15:43] maco i cant use the commands peeps are tellign me [15:43] RippleEffect, no it is definilty under the Edit menu in synaptic [15:43] metallico, what do you mean by "Exchange client"? [15:43] /bin/sh: ruby: not found how i fix this? [15:43] RippleEffect, hit the Apply button [15:43] coz_, yes I know but nothing happens when I click on it. [15:44] hi guys [15:44] maco is there any easy way for me tobur my iso so i can boot my win 7 iam not linux man [15:44] KLK: they're telling you how to log in as root. the fact that your client is reporting that you're *already* root is what's keeping you out of the backtrack channel [15:44] System_Default_0: the potential issue, as little as I understand it, is that with the dd command filling the entire disk prior to my rm'ing the disk file, that would leave no room for the logging daemon(s) to write log files...? [15:44] User3145, would you mind telling me what you want to do? sorry , but i joined in the middle of the conversation [15:44] RippleEffect, if nothing happens...which package do you think is broken? [15:44] Originally I wanted to install xampp === Look is now known as Guest99744 [15:44] KLK: and no, there is no way to make backtrack linux stop being linux [15:44] But someone here recommended LAMP instead [15:44] anbody can help me? [15:44] HI [15:44] coz_, dpkg: warning: files list file for package `grub' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. [15:44] (Reading database ... 75%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [15:44] files list file for package 'grub-pc' is missing final newline [15:44] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [15:44] User3145, hmm ok [15:44] User3145: the X in xampp just stands for "put your os here" anyway ;-) [15:44] RippleEffect: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:44] /bin/sh: ruby: not found how i fix this? someone? === Guest99744 is now known as _________xD [15:45] dannyLopez: Install ruby? [15:45] metallico, your evolution connects with Imap? [15:45] plop all [15:45] RippleEffect, ooo you may have to reinstall grub [15:45] User3145, if you are just looking to configure your server with a gui, why not use cherokee [15:45] KLK: i don't really get the problem maybe but it's easy to tell if you have root privileges just look at the command prompt. If it ends with "#" it means you're root. If it ends with "$" you're not. ( that's the default ) [15:45] anybody can help me? [15:45] dannyLopez, are you sure you ahev Ruby installed? === exo is now known as crallion [15:45] rs0832, I'm open to any method [15:45] I haven't heard of cherokee before [15:46] RippleEffect, if that is the case i would move over the #grub channel and also take a look at this http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [15:46] To be honest, I would like to get this working seeing it is so close... it just seems like a permission problem === crallion is now known as crallionx [15:46] KLK: just go into your irc client's preferences area. there should be a spot where you set up your identity. that's where your nick is set as KLK. you'll see a textbox near there with "root" in it. change that and you'll get into the channel fine [15:46] I can access localhost in my browser and the page appears, so Apache seems to be working [15:46] User3145, for what exactly are you trying to change the permissions? [15:46] cheteen, you have to ask a more detailed question [15:46] Because I can't create or edit any files [15:46] User3145: if you look in /etc/group is your user listed in the www-data group? [15:47] no, i mean ms exchange [15:47] User3145, that is normal... you have to do it as root [15:47] cheteen, expose your problem, someone will help you [15:47] cheteen: help you with what? [15:47] User3145, even my server is that way :) [15:47] rs0832... as root? [15:47] Why? [15:47] rs0832: but thats a pain in the rear for /var/www for the web dev. and you might want to give perms to your devs to edit in there if you're a sysadmin.. easy to use unix groups [15:48] i am trying to install ubuntu server 10.10 on a cd-rom less dell power edge 2300 [15:48] shadow420: pxe? [15:48] User3145: less /etc/group === Edo is now known as Guest35246 [15:48] User3145, so you are unable to assign permissions then? [15:48] maco pxe was not availabe at the time the server was made [15:49] User3145: pastebin the ouptut of: id;ls -ld /var/www [15:49] I don't have an etc/groups [15:49] shadow420: then its wayyyy too old to boot from usb, huh? [15:49] User3145: singular [15:49] or group [15:49] yea scsi interfaces [15:49] User3145: you included the / before etc when you typed the command, right? [15:49] unless i can get grub to find it [15:49] Who here is familiar with darkice and device input output with pulseaudio? I'm having device issue with getting the right port to be broadcasted. [15:49] shadow420: have you tried booting/installing from an usb stick? [15:49] My problem in compiz [15:49] Yes, I am in /etc/ [15:50] I cant Use Cube atlantis [15:50] There is no group/ subdirectory [15:50] User3145: its not a directory [15:50] User3145: it's a file [15:50] User3145: hence the "less" command [15:50] Is it a hidden file? [15:50] User3145: no, then its name would start with a dot [15:50] the bios has no usb boot [15:50] thats not what i meant about the changin linux to anything...here goes i have been to jao for a while and i forgot my win 7 login password so i have downloaded a win 7 reeset boot cd iso.. but iam sitting on backtrack 4 live cd cus i cant get acces to my win 7 ,,,i need to burn my downloaded ido to disk in order to regain acces 2 my win 7 box [15:50] Okay, sorry about that. YEs, I'm looking at the file now [15:51] User3145: ok, type "/www-data" and hit enter. it'll search for htat string [15:51] User3145: the group file is in /etc and it's not a hidden file [15:51] iso NOT IDO [15:51] cheteeen, have you installed the plugin? [15:51] User3145: is your username somewhere at the end of the line? [15:51] Yes [15:51] Hallo. [15:51] why I cant Open Dialog window [15:51] User3145, you might try chmod o+rw -R /var/www [15:52] Yes, it's like www-date:x:33:user [15:52] sudo chmod again? [15:52] Or regular? [15:52] User3145: No, don't do that. [15:52] maco server is a pe 2300 usb boot started around 2002 [15:52] rs0832: Don't tell people to compromise their system [15:52] this was made before that [15:52] geirha, i didnt mean it like that [15:53] after hibernate sound does not work on 10:10 alsa restart does not fix. Any ideas? [15:53] rs0832: g+rw is likely what he needs. [15:53] geirha, hmm ok [15:53] So run: chmod g+rw -R /var/www ? [15:54] cheteen, does "cube atlantis" plugin appear in the pluginlist in CompizConfig? [15:54] the old debian sarge floppy can find it [15:54] Who here is familiar with darkice and device input output with pulseaudio? I'm having device issue with getting the right port to be broadcasted. [15:54] geirha, thanks.. m not that familiar with permissions so i didnt realise [15:54] i wonder why linux user hate windows while nothing is said about apple?? [15:54] operation not permitted.... worked with sudo though [15:54] User3145: just type "adduser www-data yourname; chown root.www-data /var/www -R; chmod 770 /var/www -R" and you're done. [15:54] I'm a newbie using 10.10, and I've managed to install my WUSB600N, and I can see wireless networks, but can't connect. Any suggestions? Installing the WUSB600N was a huge hassle, and I'm connected now through the same device on XP... Can someone please offer some advice? Thanks [15:54] the raids and other pieces [15:54] binil, big boy 1st. little later [15:54] I just did touch test3.php and no error [15:55] :p [15:55] Looks like it might have worked [15:55] User3145: Now all members of the group that owns those files will have read and write permission to all files under /var/www [15:55] Bye people. [15:55] geirha, all members of the www-data group? [15:55] User3145: wait, you probably don't want files in /var/www to be executable and writable by www-data [15:55] geirha, what is o? (permissions) [15:55] 2.6.35-24-generic [15:56] User3145: does www-data really need write access to the files? [15:56] User3145: If you previously ran something like sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www, then yes. [15:56] is there a way to trick the debian sarge floppy to access my pc and get it's files [15:56] rs0832: other, that means everyone. [15:56] User3145: better use chmod 750 /var/www -R , unless you want php/apache to be able to write anywhere in /var/www, which you dont :) [15:56] geirha, oh yeah.. keep confusing that [15:56] User3145: this makes it easier for people to take advantage of vulnerabilities on your webserver [15:56] once i get an os on it i can install ubuntu [15:56] can i download code complete 2 somewhere? [15:57] stew, I'm not putting this website online [15:57] thekid: why would he want files in /var/www to be executable? [15:57] Not intentionally anyway! [15:57] It's a local offline setup for testing [15:57] gksudo gedit is alot easier :D [15:57] I am running 10.10 x64 (upgraded from 9.04 through 10.10) and I have an iPhone 3GS running 4.0.0 (not another version). I have had to create a mount folder under /media called iPhone...i have to run ifuse /media/iPhone everytime I plug the phone in...i thought that this was supposed to "just work" [15:57] is there a way to trick the debian sarge floppy to access my pc and get it's files?? [15:57] what am I doing wrong? [15:58] Hi. Is there a way to install Ubuntu so it will see disks in raid 0 during install [15:58] hi, is it possible to install Ubuntu along with Windows on same drive w/out partitioning C drive? [15:58] stew: good point [15:58] joltman, for starters updating from 9 to 10.10 [15:58] i said I'm running 10.10 [15:58] please help - my screen-res has reverted back to 1024x768 today after a reboot, probably updates installed since last reboot. It is meant to be 1680x1050 and has been working auto-detected for months! I have restored a backup xorg.conf from a few weeks ago also tried a few how-to's editing modelines etc and it has made no difference. What else can I try? (nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210]) [15:58] How can i see if an update has been installed for a package (nvidia drivers) and possibly roll back to the previous version? [15:58] r00t4rd3d seeing you mention it, when I run gedit terminal is flooded with errors.... GdkPixbuf CRITICAL etc etc [15:59] Is this unrelated to the LAMP install? I suspect it is and if so I won't worry about it [15:59] yeah that happens i dont know why [15:59] rs0832: This is a good read btw. http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions [15:59] r00t4rd3d: I was running 9.04 back in May of 2009, and I've upgraded through every release (not all at once, but when the new OS was released) [15:59] so I'm currently on 10.10 [15:59] and i have the libimobiledevice-utils installed too [15:59] i just don't know why i have to manually run the ifuse command? [15:59] hi, is it possible to install Ubuntu along with Windows on same drive w/out partitioning C drive? sorry if question is repeated I got DC and missed responses [15:59] geirha, i'll have a look.. thanks [15:59] joltman, upgrading can break stuff [15:59] fresh install ftw [16:00] can't add wlan0 to bridge xxxx: operation not supported [16:00] r00t4rd3d: I see...well, i'm at work...and not really doing anything else right now...lol [16:00] could you suggest what the reason be [16:00] Hey guys! Is there any way to "join" strings in bash? Basically, I need make 'a|b|c' from 'a b c'. [16:00] Everybody, thank you for your help. I do appreciate this as I am fairly new to Unix [16:00] honeypot: Likely your adapter doesn not support being set into promiscuous mode [16:00] hello [16:00] Anyone else have trouble getting Evolution filters to run automatically with imap account? [16:01] The only other thing which I wanted to mention, which I am sure is a hell of a lot easier... in LAMP how do I log in to MySQL so I can create a database? [16:01] can squid3 support socks proxy ? [16:01] genii-around: it's the alfa 1000mw possibleN [16:01] ?

When installing LAMP I also installed phpMyAdmin... where can I find this, as it has not been put inside var/www automatically? [16:09] Once I've got phpMyAdmin up, I think that's everything I need [16:09] dreamwalk, in a term , type lsusb , the last line will say your wireless info , copy and paste just the last line here [16:10] honeypotr, try using some lightwigth desktop environement like xfce [16:10] r00t4rd3d ,may I message you privatly with thes details?

Every time it boots, it dumps to initramfs shell and I have to run "mdadm" to recognize the array and then exit to continue the boot. How can I fix this? One weird thing, my mdadm.conf file looks like the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/549864/ [16:12] is it possible to hide just some mounts in gnome? [16:12] ndiswrapper should only be used as a last resort [16:13] dreamwalk: well i want to use a netgear adaptor [16:13] What with to open file to read this?

[16:14] hm, are sure phpmyadmin is installed? try executing "aptitude show phpmyadmin | grep 'State: installed'", it should actually output 'State: installed' line. if it doesn't then it means phpmyadmin is not installed at all.

[16:17] maxylopes: You might want to put that on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ - Because putting it in here doesn't show all characters [16:17] User3145: sudo stop apache2 [16:17] stop: Unknown job [16:17] User3145: or sudo service apache2 stop (if the first didnt work...but i think apache uses upstart so it should) [16:17] user17, you dont need to use /usr/sbin/ [16:17] hi [16:17] you can do sudo apachectl stop [16:18] can anyone help me with installing an os on vmware [16:18] maco, thanks [16:18] using ubuntu9.04 [16:18] User3145: if you're really laze, you can add 'alias a2stop="sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop"', 'alias a2start="sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start"' to your ~/.bash_aliases file =) [16:18] Worked with "service" :) [16:18] User3145: *lazy [16:18] egor_tensis, that sounds good I'll give it a shot :) [16:19] does anyone knows a good software to draw d&d maps on ubuntu? [16:19] hello friends. I have a ubuntu 10.10 and recentrly installed kde, wich I've decided to use from now on. Question is: why some apps look like gnome like chrome, foxit etc? Any way to fix this? Thanks in advance [16:19] how do u use usb with virtualbox [16:20] User3145: you'll actually need to launch new terminal or even logout to get this to work [16:20] pastebin didnt helped :( [16:20] Did you mean .bash_profile ? [16:20] cahippy: I don't think you can, only available in the purchasable version :S [16:21] will vmware work on 9.04 so i can usb to work [16:21] User3145: .bash_aliases is automatically included by .bashrc *if* it exists [16:21] hi [16:21] User3145: so you can go ahead and create .bash_aliases -- just a technique for keeping stuff more organised since .bashrc is huge by default [16:22] Okay [16:22] cahippy, the VBox you download directly from Oracle (free as in price) supports USB - it's the Open Source (in the ubuntu repos) version that does not. [16:22] I've just passed LPIC101. has anyone passed LPI level 1 here ? [16:22] !ot | gribouille [16:22] gribouille: #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! [16:22] thanx zyk [16:23] !tab > cahippy [16:23] cahippy, please see my private message [16:23] anyone that use qemu on 10.xx? [16:23] cool bro [16:23] User3145: afair, you'll need to logout and login to reload .bash_profile and just to launch new terminal to reload .bash_aliases. but they are both can be successfully reloaded with "source ~/.bash_aliases" and "source ~/.bash_profile". not sure about this though [16:24] yankee, I use it on another OS, but Im thinking of switching [16:24] compdoc, it works on 10.10? [16:24] I use 10.04 lts server [16:24] it works there [16:24] I don't have a bash_profile it seems [16:24] HOLA [16:24] Does anybody know of a good document to pdf converter? [16:25] 8-) [16:25] Guest12982: OpenOffice has an option to export to PDF. [16:25] ok, with it, i can have the windows emulated on base system? [16:25] Guest12982: And most programs in Linux can print to PDF. [16:26] Diamondcite: :D [16:26] you need the right cpu to run windows in qemu - it has to support VT [16:26] compdoc, actually qemu does NOT require cpu virtualization - why it is SO SLOW all the time. [16:27] its not slow at all [16:27] compdoc, i believe you are thinking of kvm [16:27] compdoc, qemu is the slowest virt i've every seen! [16:27] isnt kvm/qemu what they use? [16:27] User3145: me too =) i'm a bit confused with all this ".bash_profile", ".bash_aliases" and ".bashrc". man page explains everything, it's a pity that i have no time to read it. so you probably can replace ".bash_profile" with ".bashrc" in my previous message and it will still make sense [16:27] compdoc, ZykoticK9: kvm is based on qemu and is not slow [16:27] compdoc, kvm is related to qemu - but they are not the same [16:27] qemu and kvm have merged === williamgeorgegar is now known as willgg [16:28] maco, kvm is a whole new ballgame agreed - but qemu by itself is super slow - still powerful, still cool - but slow [16:28] ZykoticK9: does it even exist on its own anymore? [16:28] Hmm, command not found for either a2stop or a2start [16:28] not that Ive seen [16:28] maco, yes - as it does not require cpu virt [16:29] maco: if I add my aliases to ~/.bash_aliases I need to uncomment #if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then... in ~/.bashrc right?

I want to add "acpi=off noapic" [16:30] maco: ok thanks [16:30] User3145: IdleOne's message is just in time. do you have "#if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then ..." line commented in your ".bashrc"? [16:30] It doesn't appear to be commented out in my bashrc [16:30] SweNewbie: edit /etc/default/grub -- add that to the quotesy bit in: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [16:30] No, no preceding hash [16:31] maco: thanks alot i will try that :) [16:31] SweNewbie: afterward, run "sudo update-grub" [16:32] It looks like: 'alias a2stop="sudo... etc [16:32] is the inverted comma required? [16:32] how would i , from the bash , add an desktop launcher ? whats the command ? for example for firefox .. [16:32] Good day. When trying to install Ubuntu from a Windows machine, I can't seem to use a custom ISO. The ISO file is in the same folder as the Wubi executable, and it's a desktop ISO, yet it still presents the install screen with 10.04.1 when the ISO presented is 10.10. Any ideas on how to fix this? [16:33] you mean this sign ' ? no, it's __not__ required [16:33] hi, what's a good tool for monitoring my router via snmp? [16:33] Okay [16:33] I'll remove it [16:33] Does a comma or new line separate the different aliases? [16:33] User3145: as an example, my .bash_aliases: http://slexy.org/raw/s2hHUPuOrx [16:33] maco: i will do :) [16:34] Why when I press the up or down arrow do letters appear? Very frustrating [16:34] I've used unix a few times before and it has never done that [16:34] This is in vim [16:34] User3145: because it's the tiny vim [16:34] User3145, are you in vi? install the real vim! problem solved. [16:35] User3145: its behaving like vi instead of vim [16:35] Sorry, yes I meant vi [16:35] User3145, Ubuntu comes with a terrible vim-tiny installed by default - one of the first things i do with all fresh installs is install vim [16:36] Ah, cheers [16:36] Well the alias is working now! [16:36] Hi do somebody play minecraft? [16:36] I can't thank (all of you) enough for the help you've given me [16:37] Meh, I can't seem to fix this issue.. [16:37] maxylopes, some one in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:37] Thanks for your patience as well I might add, I've learnt quite a bit in the last hour or so [16:37] No i have problem with opening file [16:37] sorry [16:37] it has no extention [16:37] but it is text file [16:37] hello, I was multibooting windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 but then I had to delete the ubuntu partition and format it. I had grub installed and now i get a grub error and a grub rescue command line [16:38] tonycrete1991, grub had a folder in your ubuntu partition called /grub - and you deleted it's files. [16:38] is it possible to update to 64bit ubuntu from 32bit ubuntu without reinstalling? maybe updating kernel? [16:38] Okay I'll be heading off now. Thank you all once again, I really appreciate. Oh, and happy new year! :) Bye [16:38] User3145: glad to help. [16:38] systemg33k, reinstall is only way [16:38] ZykoticK9, probably, but now how do I get this fixed??? : [16:38] systemg33k: no. and thats not an update. update means newer versions. they're just recompiles of the same code [16:38] :) cya [16:39] ZykoticK9, if i reinstall does that mean i will loose all my settings/files? [16:39] tonycrete1991, use windows to somehow add the Win7 boot loader? ask in ##windows. Or reinstall Ubuntu? Not sure what you want to do. [16:39] systemg33k, probably - unless you have your home folder on a separate partition. [16:40] systemg33k: if you want to keep your user settings, just go into manual partition mode, reuse the same partition, and choose not to format it. /home will be saved [16:40] tonycrete1991, I think you need to update the MBR [16:40] systemg33k: if you don't make a copy of your important files, yes [16:40] ZykoticK9, ouch [16:40] maco, ok [16:40] ZykoticK9, the thing is I can't even boot windows to change some settings... I am using ubuntu live cd right now... [16:40] systemg33k, see maco! [16:40] xangua, ok [16:40] tonycrete1991, ask how to reinstall the windows loader over grub in the ##windows channel [16:40] hey anyone here know how to get surfraw working with chrome? [16:41] systemg33k: your user files are also in /home and so safe with my method. things like /var/www/ if you have a webserver are not though [16:41] tonycrete1991: use a win7 install cd. or some how tell the pc to boot any windows recovery partitons you gto [16:41] it just opens up a new tab after every command [16:41] maco, will things like wine applications be saved? not sure if those are in home folder. [16:41] systemg33k: they are in ~/.wine [16:41] systemg33k: yes theyre in ~/.wine [16:41] Dr_Willis, oh darn it. [16:42] systemg33k, ~ = home [16:42] hi all [16:42] ZykoticK9, ah ok got it [16:42] anyone ever seen a situation that when 10.04.1 is busy, it wont open programs like a terminal window or the system monitor? [16:43] compdoc: only when ive used up all my ram and swap [16:44] hi, what's a good tool for monitoring my router via snmp? [16:45] compdoc, do you mean "out of memory" by busy? [16:45] horrible: mrtg, munin, cacti [16:45] horrible: mrtg is pretty good [16:45] Pici, genii-around: will they work good even if i use them ony my desktop, which isn't always-on? [16:45] anybody know best way to connect to a TSG?? [16:46] tsg? [16:46] Thomas_Anderson, I have a large transfer going using rsync, and the transfer is going fine, but programs wont open. Im going to have to ait until the xfer is finished [16:46] *wait [16:46] horrible: No. All of those are for long-term graphing of snmp data. You aren't going to get much out of it if you don't have an always-connected computer. [16:46] through virtual machine running XP? [16:47] its been transferring since last night [16:47] horrible: nagios might be better if you just care about 'is this thing on' type of data. [16:47] compdoc: on system that were out of memory that used swap got slow like that [16:48] hello; I have changed my icon theme but the explorer type windows (documents, music etc.) still display the old one [16:48] what do I do? [16:48] compdoc: I also has some bad boot that did detect all the mem they had and ended up very slow for the same reason [16:49] Zaherux, make sure you have applied the new theme with the new icon set [16:50] I have done, and it works with everything else [16:50] just not those things... [16:51] Hi. I installed a raid card (serveraid LSI M1015 ) and now my kernel panics on boot with "no valid memory map found" [16:51] Zaherux, check if they are present in the /usr/shar/icon/"Your Theme"/places [16:52] Zaherux: try logging out/back in perhaps.

[16:57] Zaherux, or simply try to lof out [16:57] Zaherux, or simply try to *log out [16:57] M33P_: ok well use that kernel then, move forward or backward in kernel [16:57] actually, before I go, I noticed it renders the top bar from that theme to begin with, before swapping to the other one [16:57] Zaherux, and then log in [16:58] howdy [16:58] wierd; I'll be back if it's still like that :P [16:58] thanks for the help!

[16:59] Anjer: check 'man su' i rarely use it. [17:00] Anjer: eg: su -c "command to do here" username-to-do-it-as [17:00] or su --help [17:00] does anybody use qutim?

[17:50] FaiLican: You can have your window manager control this behavior or you can try resizing the windows then closing them and see what happens when you reopen them [17:50] FalLican: firefox will open in the size it was closed in... so if you resize the window, quit firefox, and restart it will be the size you left it in [17:50] txomon: That is a subjective question.

[17:53] soreau: what is markup format? [17:53] Guest63529: that statement "compress pulseaudio networking" doesn't compute ... what are you trying to do? [17:54] panos: If you havent changed anything but there is a change when connecting somewhere else, the problem is likely - somewhere else [17:54] txomon: Like xml style [17:54] panos: even with the same files the seeder number changes over time, and as GeekSquid said that is also correct [17:54] hey, i hope this isnt too offtopic, but i'm trying to use this guide http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=524890&postcount=5 and i am unable to get things to work. I'm on the "sudo irw" part, what didnt output anything when i pressed buttons on the remote - then i tried the next command - but i don't have a /dev/lirc0 (even specified so in the config) === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [17:54] Guest63529, check the pulse audio mailing list. they have talked about compression a few times on the list [17:55] GeekSquid: haha sorry. Currently I have pulseaduio device chooser sending audio from one machine to another [17:55] Is awsome window manger still the best choice ?..

For example, this is the compiz source tree http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/core/tree/ Click on the po directory and see the files inside === astra05|afk is now known as astra05 [17:56] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/teststick/......did i do that wrong? [17:56] soreau: ammm ok so pootle is a ... what? to use languajes? [17:57] GeekSquid: It seems like tehreis no documentation on it [17:57] txomon: In short, it is however the programmer programs the program ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pootle [17:57] Guest63529: cool idea, because it is a Real Time Protocol, compressing the stream would make heavy demands on both processors, and you'd have a delay going on... that and I am not sure how that would work [17:58] soreau: thanks a lot! [17:58] panos: there is another posibility, your ISP has changed there policy, since I am a ISP I do the same when only 10% of my customers are using 99% of my bandwidth I throttle there bandwidth usage [17:58] Looking for a newbiefied version on how to install and run conkyforecast. Anybody have any places i could look? I have googled and googled but all pretty much the same. Something simple tyavm :-) [17:58] GeekSquid: Good point! Heh. The real problem is that my audio would be choppy from the bandwidth if I use any heavy demanding audio apps like Skype [17:58] txomon: translating can be tricky. If you can find the ubuntu translation team, try asking them how they do it [17:59] GeekSquid: So i figured a lightweight encoding to ease it [17:59] sacarlson: this seems reasonable, ill check it out [18:00] Guest63529: have you considered using JACK, I believe compression is an option there [18:00] Skype loads the cpu audiowise...odd I thougt it as the video [18:00] panos: they won't tell you, as I don't tell my customers eather, I don't want them to know [18:00] was [18:01] sacarlson: iĺl check my laptop on a friends house to see what down speeds i get there [18:01] GeekSquid: I just installed it actually. I might play around with that next, seems a little buggy though. [18:02] Guest63529: another thought, if you are using it for skype (not music) why would you need anything more than ulaw (phone quailty) 22,000kbps 8bit stream... would pass the audio across the network with about 1/4 the data rate of CD quality [18:02] Okay. I managed to get everything working. I have an external USB device formatted as NTFS currently. Do you have any idea how I could access it from Ubuntu? It doesn't seem to see it.. [18:03] The Disk Utility does seem to see it. I'm just assuming it isn't mounting it as a valid device.. [18:03] GeekSquid: Yes, but I do use it for music as well.. or at least trying to anyway. heh.

I'm amazed this doesn't work out of the box. It's a simple external HD. I'm going back to Windows.

[18:08] Thanks, soreau [18:09] Guest63529: tell you a little secret from audio land where I grew up, distance from the ground is a big factor (as are bad grounds) [18:09] GeekSquid: so far from ground is better?

[18:14] Guest63529: i'd make a reccommendation here... take a wire and hard wire a ground to a screw on each component of your audio system, should get rid of your buzz [18:14] wulu__: boot splash screen [18:14] with localepurge. which do i select to remove everything BUT english. is it just "en" that needs to be selected? [18:15] hm sry cant help with that one - if grub is installed maybe try to hit "e" [18:15] and add nosplash or something like that in the grub commandline [18:16] wulu__: i dont have grub installed :( [18:16] hm ok then, try 2 boot from the live cd [18:17] wulu__: and then ? [18:17] wulu__: its plymouth splash screen setting [18:17] wulu__: how do i restore it back? [18:17] anyone able to help with the language packs? [18:18] hm sry, i dont know about the ubuntu splash, just a bit about the grub stuff [18:18] hello, i have a problem with booting windows 7 in grub2, i had to install it again after windows installation, and now i have no problem for booting linux but not the same for windows 7 [18:18] hi all [18:18] GeekSquid: I actually did that! hahaha. However I get lines on my monitors if I do... This house is just really old.

[18:23] aimio lol all i need to know is what to select when removing language packs with locale purge. i just want english. so i was wondering if all i need to select is english or all the en_blah blah [18:24] The_Maverick, thats seems about right just select. [18:24] aimio so JUST "en" and not "en_de or en_sa" and so forth.. [18:25] hi I getting the follow error when try to run a program: ./surfrace5_0_linux_32bit: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [18:25] Okay.. I asked yesterday and the day before... I don't understand networking at all...! I installed SSH server on my other computer, ... now how do I access it from this computer? (behind same router, not through the internet) o_o [18:25] I have libstdc++6 installed .. [18:25] lifestream: what os are you running on the computer you are using now? [18:25] The_Maverick, yes only en depends how you want your keys setup. as the en_de etc etc.. relates to how your keys are setup. [18:25] Hi milamber, both are linux [18:25] I tried to create symlink of libstdc++6 to libstdc++5 [18:26] I but it does not work....and I can't find stdlibc++5 in apt repository [18:26] wulu__: yea let me rtry [18:26] ssh -2 -v -i (your key) -P (your port) noob@yourIP [18:26] aimio so i can select just "en" and it will remove all the other packs and nothing to do with my language will be messed up? [18:27] lifestream: all that should be required is: from the terminal: ssh -l [18:27] I don't use a password for ssh. I got the pub key on the server [18:27] The_Maverick, first of all what language do you want to keep ? [18:27] hello, my problem is that i can't use the update-grub command [18:27] aimio just english. [18:27] Should I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? [18:27] then you should not delete en [18:27] just the rest.. [18:28] birdman007 hell yeah [18:28] it shows the next error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: /boot/grub/device.map:2: No open parenthesis found [18:28] Maverick is really nice [18:28] birdman007, YES [18:28] birdman007: depends on how much you want a LTS [18:28] But if your using a server you might like the LTS [18:28] hmm thanks milamber. so.. I'm pretty dense.. (^^;) so... the loginname is the username I use at my other computer? And... do you know how I would find the IP of that computer? [18:28] yeah [18:28] aimio thanks [18:28] Hi [18:28] The_Maverick, Np.. [18:28] When is Ubuntu 11.0 4 Alpha 2 bits being available? [18:28] i'll upgrade why not :) [18:28] I need a new Ubuntu project? suggestions.. [18:29] Nutub: what did you do, some manual editing in grub? [18:29] lifestream: the login name is the username on the other computer. to get the ip go to the other computer and at the terminal type: ifconfig [18:29] Can I pick up the source tree for Ubuntu 10.10 with git? I mean userland and the kernel. [18:29] birdman007: only reason not to would be if you were a developer and wanted some added stability [18:29] I mean like OpenBSD [18:29] export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.example.org:/cvs [18:29] cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_4_8 -P src [18:29] linuxfreaker: you want #ubuntu+1 [18:30] !launchpad | syn3rgy [18:30] syn3rgy: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects.

[18:30] Wow, Ubuntu finally made The Setup: aaron.boodman.usesthis.com [18:30] sacarlson, i only want to update grub for boot with windows 7 [18:30] hwilde: lsusb (it lists all usb devices). [18:31] red2kic, why don't joysticks work until that is run? how does running that even fix it ? [18:31] i asked beacuse i only know of one. < awesome window manger and i can't seem to make it work on my system.. > thats why i ask just of one other choice.. [18:31] aimio, icewm is pretty sweet [18:32] I really don't like how can't get out of the windows manager with Ctrl Alt backspace ? [18:32] How do I get out of X [18:32] aimio: "Best" is hard to qualify unless we know how you define "best." [18:32] hwilde: It does not. Maybe it's messed up. Yeah, it should "just work" -- I'm looking at that bug. [18:32] syn3rgy: crtl alt F1 [18:32] hwilde: I'm guessing it does not register joystick being plugged in -- until you run it.

[18:37] wyclif, i heard you can do like a shortkey to disalbe ratpoison when you need to get mouse control.. [18:37] don't know if that is right.

[19:02] The fan does it's job, it the CPU itself whats hot [19:03] hey i have a server running with a web service that is only available on port 8090. is there anyway to view that webpage locally on completely different computer? tunneling or something? [19:03] Amis: how hot? [19:03] GeekSquid, yes but so far unable to connect, anybody else managed to connect using tsc [19:03] i forgot to mention that the service is localhost only [19:03] GeekSquid, just a second, I try to find out where can I get the info (....) [19:03] i would like to keep it that way for security purposes if possible [19:05] !info mastershaper [19:05] Package mastershaper does not exist in maverick [19:05] !info mastershaper lucid [19:05] Package mastershaper does not exist in lucid [19:05] Not wondershaper? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth === ukine_ is now known as ukine [19:06] Amis: install sensors-applet [19:06] why can i not change the permissions of a usb drive? [19:06] Amis: CPU Frequency Scaling is enable? [19:06] omg this is annoying! [19:06] because u must change the attributes [19:06] ? [19:06] MrUnagi : dont know man .. i am able to change here .. [19:07] earthling: what fs [19:07] UBuxuBU: what do you mean [19:07] anyone trying zorin os4? (a ubuntu based distro) [19:07] MrUnagi: drivemount is not a user on your system [19:07] MrUnagi : ext3 .. though fs type should not matter [19:07] GeekSquid: actually it is lol [19:07] earthling: odd....the command goes through, but root still owns the drive.....i cant even chmod 755 [19:08] remount? [19:08] MrUnagi: really? you were in the wrong place /media/Teststick is what you were operating on, you were in /home/drivemount [19:09] how do I install latest nvidia 96xx driver? [19:09] I cant find the PPA [19:09] My WLAN is acting up pretty weird. It works fine on Win7, but on dualboot Ubuntu, it has trouble connecting and has up to 40% packet loss or may disconnect. However, changing WLAN channel from the router seems to fix the issue for a while (few hours). Any ideas how to debug? [19:09] GeekSquid, my CPU is jumping between 53 and 60 which is pretty high compared to the windows os [19:09] this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [19:09] BuayaOnline, how exactly check that? [19:09] "/home/drivemount/" is the users sftp jail, i am trying to give them access to "/media/Testick" GeekSquid earthling [19:09] says there is a PPA with the latest drive, but I can't find which PPA [19:09] MrUnagi :exit [19:09] how can I check a program's currently installed version on my machine? [19:10] hi [19:10] MrUnagi : sorry :-( [19:10] ~ [19:10] why did the ubuntu 10.10 installer use /dev/sdx in /etc/fstab instead of uuids? [19:10] any idea? [19:10] Amis: windows calculates it in deg F, linux calculates it in Deg C... do the conversion [19:11] GeekSquid drivermount user exists otherwise chown would have thrown a error [19:11] At me it does it in Celsius, you can be sure about that [19:11] GeekSquid: I was trying to change ownership of the dive === Rez is now known as LoRez [19:12] MrUnagi: why not mount it at boot, via fstab [19:12] GeekSquid: it mounts at boot [19:12] MrUnagi : have u tried changing the permissions of the actual folder in /media/Testick and not its link in Teststick in home/drivermount [19:12] earthling: yes, stays with root and 777 [19:13] Hi there. :) [19:13] Amis: simple way, just add CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet on your panel. and left click on it to check whether it on Performance or other option [19:13] im so frustrated [19:13] I added [19:13] anyone know why ubuntu insists on changing what drives are assigned to sda, sdb, etc? it changes them almost everytime I boot [19:13] is there another way [19:14] Now I see it's juping between 933 and 2400 which I guess is bad [19:14] MrUnagi : darn , one more thing can u try , create a folder with liberal rights say 'dir1' , then mount the stick to that folder 'dir1' then create a link for that location to the sftp user .. [19:14] It shouldn't be up that high [19:14] ntfs-3g [19:14] Amis: that is your cpu frequency, not bad [19:15] But it shouldn't keep it that high when theres no demand for performance [19:15] kenny_duehit: how id you assigned them? [19:16] i don't auto mount them, they mount on demand (ubuntu default) when I go to them under places [19:17] unless I miss interprited your question... [19:17] what the crap [19:18] uh [19:18] some how now Teststick ins / [19:18] is / [19:19] all i did was unmount, mkdir Teststick, sudo chown useradd:sftp Teststick, chmod 766 Teststcik, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/Teststick [19:20] I just installed Hamachi on Ubuntu 10.10, but I can't access my RDP server, which also has Hamachi installed. I'm trying to use Remote Terminal Client. I can ping the RDP server and log into it via Windows, but not through the Remote Terminal Client, which can access other RDP servers, just not via Hamachi. [19:20] "Long-Therm" What is the difference? [19:20] yea thats not right, fstab just mounted it as something else because it existed already [19:20] Amis: how about by disable visual effect (System - Preferences - Apperarance)? [19:20] Amis: if you're calculating CPU Temp as long as you do not exceed 70 degrees Celcius, you're fine. average CPU (even for mine) is somewhere around 48-54 === karthick87 is now known as Guest96214 [19:21] gobbe: what do you mean how did I assign them? === karthick1987 is now known as karthick87 [19:21] MrUnagi : told u :-) [19:21] earthling: told me what [19:21] kenny_duehit: well, i didn't quite understand what is your problem? [19:21] I can't figure out why I have bash installed but no .bash_profile [19:21] kenny_duehit: you mean that disk that is used in / is next time mounted somewhere else? [19:22] hi is there some option for apt-get that only fetches the packages? [19:22] kenny_duehit: or what? [19:22] and which i can run at the same time as installing? [19:22] MrUnagi : that while mounting the drives get mounted to folders that are temperoly created in /media folder . [19:22] earthling: so basically i cant change the permissions [19:22] gobbe: yes. 1 boot, sda is for my 20gb drive. next boot sda links to me 500gb drive [19:23] wyclif: Because we don't distribute a .bash_profile file in /etc/skel/ [19:23] /join #jolicloud [19:23] guerillapc: sudo apt-get install -d packagename .. will download the files to /var/cache/apt/archives [19:23] gobbe: I would like to force consistency [19:23] this is beyond frustrating [19:23] kenny_duehit: how about you refer to them by UUID instead? [19:23] all i want to do is give an sftp user access to that drive [19:23] GeekSquid: can i run it while it installs something? [19:23] kenny_duehit: can you upload your /etc/fstab to pastebin.ubuntu.com [19:23] BuayaOnline, I disabled them but it seems to have no effect at all. I may just have to live with the fact that some kind of ghost script keeps my CPU spinning [19:24] jbrouhard, the only thing this thing bothers me is because it isn't this high on the windows os [19:24] MrUnagi : What you can do is create a dir and manually mount new flash drives to that directory [19:24] MrUnagi: does link not work with ftp? [19:24] horrible: I am coding a conky setup and I don't think hddtemp can't use uuid [19:24] earthling: that is what i tried to do earthling [19:24] gobbe: ok, give me a second [19:24] shcherbak: no it tells me the path doesnt exist [19:25] MrUnagi: oh, didnt know. [19:25] Huawei E1552 works quite well in Maveric except that the stick is never recognized on boot and needs to be re-inserted for it to work. Does anyone know how to make it work without re-insertion? [19:25] guerillapc: no, the dpkg lock file will keep this from happening, if you wanted to dl one package at a time you could get it from http://packages.ubuntu.com [19:25] shcherbak: any other ideas? [19:25] GeekSquid: if i delete the lock file? [19:25] MrUnagi: not really, i not keen in ftp. [19:25] Something else: where can I check which of my two video cards linux is currently using? [19:25] guerillapc: don't do that, the lock file is to keep your system from breaking [19:26] Bug #500834 ? [19:26] gobbe: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549956/ [19:26] GeekSquid: im currently doing updates and it takes a hell of a lot time, id just delete the lock file while it installs the udpates and download only the files that i want to install [19:27] kenny_duehit: and what about sudo blkid [19:27] kenny_duehit: you can refer to the disk by UUID when using hddtemp. you can find the device under /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [19:27] GeekSquid: does the lock file have anything else to do than tell programs that i am currently using the packagemanager? [19:27] Amis: i'd check top (or htop) to see if your CPU is spinning cause of a background system (which is entirely possible since linux loads stuff into background) [19:28] hello, I want to change the behaviour of my touchpad, right now when I "tap" it with two fingers it emulates a right-click, I want to change this to a middle mouse button click (mouse 3), can any1 point me in the right direction? [19:28] gobbe: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/549957/ [19:29] horrible: orly? I'll have to play with that. still though, for other things too, I am going to presue this forcing consistance dev names... [19:29] Will i get UNE support here? :-) [19:29] kenny_duehit: aah, so those are external disks. you can mount them using uuid's still [19:29] guerillapc: very not reccommended, the lock file keeps the system safe, if you are updating, chances are it is also upgrading the kernel, which means you'll need a reboot... if you are trying to install something specific tell me what it is and I can tell you the dependencies so you can get everything you need via the web [19:29] I'm getting a "failed to initialize OpenGL display" when I try to run Braid, I was thinking this may be due to outdated drivers, but where can I find drivers for an Intel GMA3150? I suppose they'd be locked down and whatnot? [19:29] MrUnagi : u there ? [19:29] earthling: yea [19:29] kenny_duehit: the only names that are guaranteed to be consisted are the UUID ones [19:29] MrUnagi : what ftpd are u using ? [19:30] MrUnagi : vsftpd ? [19:30] earthling: thats the server side yes? [19:30] Aderlass: I'm not really too savvy with Linux, but I've been toying a bit with UNE, I could try giving you a hand [19:30] yeah' [19:30] hi! somebody speak portuguese?

Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [19:30] GeekSquid: hm k ill wait till it finishes [19:30] gobbe: I know I can mount using uuid's, but is there a way to force a uuid to be assiciated with a specific dev? [19:31] kenny_duehit: uuid is consistent [19:31] whatever ubuntu has by default [19:31] Aderlass: UNR/Unity is supported here [19:31] MrUnagi : ok. [19:31] Ah okay, thanks Arachon & GeekSquid. :) [19:32] gobbe: right, any hacks to force dev's to specific uuid's? [19:32] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" nigger [19:32] guys im trying to write in the abiword and every word i writing the abiword put a line above the latter how to fix this problem???

I have a 1.5TB external USB HD, and it doesn't seem to get mounted from Ubuntu. It's an NTFS-formatted partition as well. How would I succeed in mounting it? [19:32] I hope not to hear it though.... [19:33] kenny_duehit: the UUID devs are consistent. the sda etc devs are not. use the consistent ones if you need consistency [19:33] MrUnagi : ok. just paste ps -ef|grep ftp. i will do some RnD and let you know by tomo .. have some other stuff going on right now.. but the prob seems a bit interesting so will try helping out.

I thought it was per socket [19:41] I would believe that with a smart Wireshark filter, you'd be able to succeed. [19:42] GeekSquid, yeah.. I'm sure I can do it realtime with tethereal but I'm looking for historical as well [19:42] yo all [19:42] matsy, not per process but per socket [19:42] That's what I said. [19:42] z3lig: you have to create a history, tethereal/ethereal/wireshark will create the history, then it is a matter of grepping through the mess that is created [19:43] GeekSquid, yeah.. I hear ya [19:43] anyone have an idea as to why zsnes sound is not working? [19:43] I was hoping that Linux kept the stats somewhere [19:43] Grepping? In Wireshark?

[19:44] how can I check a program's currently installed version on my machine? [19:45] npoBaJl: in terminal program name --ver will usually do it [19:45] z3lig: A per-socket history would take unnecessary system resources.

[19:46] z3lig: I would believe that in 99% of the situations one wouldn't need it. It's a very specific requirement. [19:47] I know that ctrl-f = ^f, ctrl-shift-f = ^F, there equivalent shorthands for meta/alt? [19:47] that was my answer lol, I am just going to backup files and install server edition, I installed client === hajoscher2 is now known as hajoscher [19:47] most networking devices track this, e.g. content switches [19:47] sutadesign: oh ok.. yeah, honestly installing server edition would be easier/smarter [19:47] F5 is one example.. and it is linux based [19:47] Oh, I really am not the one to talk. I can't even get an external HDD working on my Ubuntu machine. [19:47] thanks btw [19:48] if I run rsync to sync over ssh, and I'm uploading a big file, and run the same script, say a minute later (due to cron), what happens? [19:48] matsy: how can an external drive not work? [19:48] kilian76: a cloud is multiple servers, in most cases, a single server doesn't act as a cloud, what kind of server are you trying to setup?

Are listed in computer view... any ideas? [19:49] KM0201: But apparently, even in Disk Utility, it doesn't give me any option to mount the device. [19:49] matsy: usually they do. [19:49] all of mine do. [19:49] kilian76: a webserver can be setup a number of ways, and it depends on what kind of application you are running but usually a LAMP server is all you will need [19:49] Could it be because it is NTFS? [19:49] matsy: all mine are ntfs as well. [19:49] thats seems odd [19:49] kv102t: open gconf-editor and look at /apps/nautilus -- should be a checkbox for that [19:50] thanks, i will need to use Apache, MySQL, PHP.

[19:50] kilian76: that is what LAMP is Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP [19:50] sergey, Go to #ubuntu-ru [19:50] thats what i thought :) [19:50] Yeah [19:50] It shows the drive.

You'll be prompted for a usage profile when you install it. These profiles just work for most people. [19:51] matsy: that is strange.... do you see anything in /media ? that would be the drive. [19:52] Naw, I don't [19:52] marco: i have some preset volumes that are visable [19:52] Only my Floppy Drives, and the Windows 7 'System Reserved' drive is there. [19:52] *are there. [19:52] maco: i have some preset volumes that are visable [19:52] guys, what's a good filesystem for nas on ubuntu? ext4? [19:52] matsy: in the /media folder?... i've never saw a floppy drive there, but i guess it could be [19:52] kv102t: ah i remember...it only shows external / removable drives [19:53] Yeah, really. ls /media gives me floppy, floppy0 and System Reserved. [19:53] oh ok [19:53] foureight84: Yes. [19:53] But, floppy0 seems to be some kind of link to floppy.

[19:57] vultraz: slax may have its own channel. if not, ##linux or maybe even ##slackware [19:57] vultraz: slax maybe has a support forum or an irc channel [19:57] I think I want to do the Entire Disk with an LVM? [19:57] mwcarroll: The target can be left in an inconsistent state, especially if the delta is large. If the delta is small, then you could get lucky and have the last instance dominate. [19:57] rocket16: replace Text with `date` [19:58] Pici: Tried, but it only makes it speak "date" (the word itself) [19:58] new issue, i have a NAS with it's own format. all working. I have mounted the NAS to desktop. I have been moving lots of files between laptop and NAS, now it seems to have set permissions to the files on the NAS if i use the mount icon. If i go direct all is OK. I need to clear all the security as more than one user uses the files and most of them are now locked. [19:58] kilian76: LVM is used in raid sitiuations, LVM is not necessarry unless you have setup a raid stack... just a ext4, or let the installer do it automatically [19:58] KM0201: It doesn't even want to run. It just doesn't appear [19:58] dajhorn: so, theoretically, if the file was large enough, and cron were running every minute, I could have infinite rsyncs running all competing for bandwidth? [19:58] rocket16: Make sure you use the grave accents. [19:58] hmm [19:58] thanks, ehats ext4? [19:58] *whats [19:58] mwcarroll: Yes, which is why you want to add a lock to the cron job. [19:58] can i make ubuntu open, as default, 6 tabs in my home folder when i log in? [19:58] !ext4 | kilian76 [19:59] KM0201: I installed it successfully, and the application just opens up for a split second, and then closes. [19:59] matsy: start it in terminal and when it crashes, see what terminal says [19:59] dajhorn: how do I add a lock to the cron job?

[20:00] kilian76: that would be reccommended [20:00] Okay, fixed that problem [20:00] I was just taking a look at this wiki page, and it indicates that 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will upgrade all packages on the system. is that correct? I thought that would do a whole version upgrade (10.04->10.10) [20:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux/%20RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAndFedora [20:00] hi, I'm having an issue getting ssh to work via outside my lan.

[20:02] plum: you have to boot from a live CD, and make sure you don't have the partition mounted [20:02] horrible: what do you mean lvm volume? [20:02] matsy: i wish i had a logical explanation for you. [20:02] matsy: all of mine work out of the box. [20:02] F [20:03] plum: i mean, are you using LVM for your partitions? [20:03] maco and sburjan` : so once in a live cd if i do that, will my data be lost from that partition? [20:03] horrible: i've never heard of LVM, so i assume i'm not... i'm not sure though.. [20:03] mwcarroll: Run man `flock` and look at the example. Cut-and-paste. [20:03] plum: take the advice the others gave you [20:04] KM0201: Meh. I'm just going back to Windows then. I can't seem to find any solution either [20:04] plum: no [20:04] plum: you have to use the alternate install disk to intall with lvm. if you dont know what it is i highly doubt you have it, but you shoudl. its awesome [20:04] plum: if you try to resize it without a live cd...THEN your data would be lost [20:04] matsy: it's gotta be something simple [20:04] plum: gparted offer a livecd on their site. use it to extend your partition. [20:04] Surely if there was a faulty sector, it still shouldn't unmount the entire hard-drive? [20:04] kilian76: so there are 2 drives in your system, and depending on what you need in terms of size, 120g enough for you? or do you need the full 240g of both drives, you could manually do it and put the webserver "/var/www" on the second drive or just stick with the first and add the other one later, or setup raid1 so it sees both drives as one partition [20:04] hi all. does anyone knows what this is.... E: /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin-data_1%3a2.7.9-1ubuntu0+pidgin1.10.04_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/48/facebook.png', which is also in package pidgin-facebookchat 0 [20:05] KM0201: Yeah. I was hoping for that. I'm checking the system logs now [20:05] I am having trouble getting a live cd to boot on my imac I held down c and selected try without installing but then just a black screen any suggestions? [20:05] i cant upgrade this package [20:05] i see... thanks guys :) i was worried about losing data because i tried to resize my friend's Windows Bootcamp partition on his mac, and after it resized properly, the partition disappeared from his bootcamp. we had to delete and recreate the partition and lost his Windows data. [20:05] ad11: its a packaging bug [20:05] maxo: that looks like the usb cable was pulled. that'd unmount it :P [20:05] ad11: what version of ubuntu are you on? [20:05] ad11, that means that 2 packages have the same file in them, so they should not be installed at the same time [20:05] i think set up as raid1 [20:05] and the update manager gives me this [20:05] how would i do that GeekSquid? [20:05] JackWat, no it's definitely plugged in. Because it unmounts it, and then remounts it again [20:05] ad11: oh 10.04 i guess from the package name [20:06] thanks nibbler [20:06] yes [20:06] KM0201: It is visible almost everywhere: Jan 3 12:21:09 ubuntu kernel: [ 2.482257] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Samsung STORY Station PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS [20:06] matsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [20:06] i am on 10.04 [20:06] ad11: let me see if that bug's been reported [20:06] Mike_Flip: Do you have a PPC or an Intel iMac? [20:06] maxo: something is happening to the usb device. its offlining it the same as if it had been unplugged and plugged back in [20:06] kilian76: depending on the bios of your system you can do it with hardware ... see the following trigger [20:06] intel [20:06] JackWat, also, the light on the front of the usb drive starts flashing orange instead of green - not sure what that means though [20:06] ok thanks maco :) [20:06] !raid | kilian76 [20:06] kilian76: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:06] maxo: Jan 3 20:00:06 max-laptop kernel: [43376.065505] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 9 [20:06] Mike_Flip: How old? [20:06] may 2010 [20:06] maxo: the lights are hardware specific [20:07] Mike_Flip: Does it boot the Mac OS X disc normally? [20:07] yes [20:07] what do you need to fill in: "system mail name" (reconfiguring mail) [20:07] All.. I'm looking for a network testing application for Ubuntu.. something that will do scheduled file transfers between two or more nodes, pings, traceroutes and will graph the data too boot. Any suggestions? [20:07] so i can't do that while i am in the Setup/Install from Ubuntu? [20:07] JackWat, I'm trying to work out whether it's a hardware or software issue, so it sounds like it's hardware perhaps? [20:07] Mike_Flip: You probably just have a dud Ubuntu CD-R. Reburn it and try again. Remember to burn it as an ISO. If you can see the ISO on the CD-R, then you have burned it incorrectly. [20:07] maxo: i would do more research on the line i pasted to you. im not sure what causes that. [20:08] KM0201: Could it be because I might've used exFat? [20:08] can anyone recommend an applicant to stream music to a DLNA compliant receiver? [20:08] application [20:08] matsy: exfat? .. can't say i know what that is [20:08] salut ma belle bonne annee [20:08] dajhorn: i have already used this disc on a windows machine it worked fine [20:08] lesshaste: ushare [20:08] in the install, i chose the Manual partition option, and then i see the Configure software RAID? [20:08] KM0201: Eh, new version of FAT32 specially designed for USB devices.. [20:08] Hi, I hope somone could help me out a bit with ZFS-fuse .. I've did a bad thing with a cacheing setting makeing my /dev/sdb1 to wipe out, forced me to reinstall all over. - Thats done now, but when I want to reimport my pool (zpool import) I can see that the same setting is still there .. ( http://pastebin.com/hc1PxDdE ) do anyone know how to remove this setting when the dataset is not loaded yet? [20:08] matsy: i thought you said it was ntfs? otherwise, yeah i'd say thats possible. [20:08] horrible: thanks.. do you use it? [20:09] lesshaste: no. [20:09] horrible: :( [20:09] KM0201: That's what I assumed. But it might just say that because it 'doesn't know it' [20:09] I'll rephrase the question :) [20:09] why can't KDE and Gnome use the same password-wallet? I always have to open it twice =/ [20:09] can anyone recommend an applicant to stream music to a DLNA compliant receiver that they use themselves? [20:09] !anyone | lesshaste [20:09] lesshaste: 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? [20:09] Is there a reason I cannot access shared files on a Win7 PC in a Win7-created homegroup? My machine keeps asking me for a password that doesn't exist.... [20:09] matsy: i dunno to be truthful.... it's possible.. i've never heard of exfat [20:09] whats the best way to tell if i installed the binary nvidia drivers or im using the ones from the ubuntu repo? i just installed a new kernel and i dont wanna bork on restart as im remoted in currently. [20:09] kilian76: never done it that way, not sure, but you might be able to do it with hardware, some systems have raid management built in, you'd have to look at the docs for your system [20:10] Mike_Flip: Then you have a difficult problem. I would reburn the disc anyways, or try the USB installer. [20:10] matsy: AFAIK There is no Linux implementation of exfat. [20:10] matsy: Pici well, that would explain his problem === michaelc is now known as callahan [20:10] Pici: I just read about an open source read solution for exFat. I can try it, to see if it can identify the drive.. [20:11] If it can't, something else is up, probably. [20:11] ad11: where did you get version 2.7.9? [20:11] npoBaJl: can you connect via smbclient without a un/pw? [20:11] Pici: matsy: exFAT is available from the PPAs. [20:11] what is the default password for root? === jocrawfo is now known as jcrawford [20:11] Is there a way to echo the current date? Whenever I try the date command with echo, only "date" is returned, :( [20:11] !root | vantage [20:11] vantage: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:11] vantage: wat [20:11] dajhorn: ok thanks [20:11] dajhorn: From the PPAs? I'm new to these terms.. [20:11] matsy: this is an external nas, is there a web-server based management utility on the box, it may allow you to negate permissioning from there [20:11] dajhorn: Well I guess things have changed since I last researched it. [20:11] jackwat i did not define a root password when installing [20:12] maco : i just did un apt-get update and than upgrade [20:12] GeekSquid: Naw. It's just an external HD connected to this Ubuntu machine. [20:12] from terminal [20:12] !ppa | matsy [20:12] matsy: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[20:12] JackWat, I installed samba and am using my nautilus browser.... is there something else I should use? Last time I tried this I was accessing a WinXP PC and there were no problems.... [20:12] jackwat everything has to be done with sudo? [20:12] Ah [20:12] It was exfat. [20:12] No wonder it didn't work :+ [20:12] npoBaJl: use the terminal. # smbclient //192.168.0.x/share [20:12] maco : my pidgin is 2.7.9 [20:12] sudo su - ;) [20:12] rocket16: try running the 'date' command instead of the 'echo' command === max is now known as Guest19365 [20:12] vantage: you can use sudo to set a root pasword and su to it [20:12] dajhorn: Do you know if their solution is write-enabled?

[20:12] ad11: 2.6.6 is the version in 10.04.... do you have a PPA or some other repo added for it? [20:13] JackWat, I'll try it thanks. [20:13] matsy: exfat is encumbered and might not be in the official release for a while. PPAs are unsupported and provided by 3rd parties. [20:13] HJess: that is not the appropriate way of doing things, we use sudo -i [20:13] matsy: https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat [20:13] dont support setting a root password? that's retarded. [20:13] ad11: 2.7.9 is apparently uploaded but not yet on the servers for 11.04, but thats it... [20:13] lol [20:13] HJess: sudo -s is much better than sudo su - [20:13] seriously [20:13] JackWat: no need for offensive language [20:13] /// [20:13] horrible: I know, thanks. But I want to combine it with echo, for example to say "Good morning, today is #date" [20:13] as i remember well ive added pidgin repos [20:13] GeekSquid: could be [20:13] ;) [20:13] exit [20:13] Do anyone know if there exists a support channel for ZFS-Fuse ? [20:13] maco: probably its a pidgin dependecy problem [20:14] dajhorn: I'm going to try that, and see if it works [20:14] JackWat, "smbclient //ip-address/share asks for my password and returns "session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0" [20:14] im in here trying to offer some help, not to be hassled. good day. [20:14] great... [20:14] ad11: its not dependency thing. it's someone packaged it wrong so the same file is in two packages. but i cant figure out who packaged it since that package doesnt look like it actually came from ubuntu === Guest12982 is now known as david === david is now known as Guest11236 [20:15] maco: it probably didn't [20:15] ad11: then you need to talk to whomever packaged it. it's not an ubuntu bug. [20:15] maco: so hot fix now the var/lock [20:16] rocket16: possibly: echo "(SayText \"$(date +'%A %B %e')\" nil)" | festival --pipe; [20:17] maco: i have this update manager attention icon i have on the sys try [20:17] trism: Yeah, already got it working. Thanks, but I wanted something that would say "Good morning, today's date is ". :( Anyway, thanks. [20:17] ad11: for now, i'd say lock the version on those packages in synaptic or remove pidgin-facebookchat until its fixed [20:17] maco : ok thanks :) [20:17] Before I will be able to do this though: How do I unmount a device? [20:18] ad11: look in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* to try to figure out where the package is coming from and notify them of teh bug === Guest11236 is now known as dchute217 [20:18] Never mind that question ;) [20:18] matsy, which type of device? [20:18] maco: ok i will. [20:19] hi, everone. I plugged in my usb card reader with a card inside, but ubuntu does'nt show it. pls hepl [20:19] trism: Oh, that did the trick. :D Many thanks! [20:19] lsusb does show it, howoever: irc.freenode.net. [20:19] typo: lsusb _does_ show it: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1976:1307 Chipsbrand Microelectronics (HK) Co., Ltd. [20:19] helpmehelpme: did you try manually mounting it [20:19] dajhorn, GeekSquid, KM0201: It is working now! I have full read/write access to the exFat partition. And it just seems to work. Thanks a bunch! [20:19] how come it doesn't appear in the "computer folder" or on the desktop? [20:19] matsy: congrats [20:19] matsy: Welcome. [20:19] horrible: how do i muont it? [20:20] horrible: i'm a newbie [20:20] thank.s [20:20] Does anyone know how to change the Bootable Flag to On from Off in the Raid set up [20:20] There has to be a way to automatically mount it though? Last question ;) [20:20] helpmehelpme: go to System > Administration > Disk Tool [20:20] matsy: udev [20:20] is there anyway to get a widget layer with a hotkey in METACITY as i want my screenlets to appear there. any ideas? [20:20] matsy: when you turn it on, it doesn't automount? [20:21] horrible: i'm in "Disk Utuililyt", but I don't see the USB device [20:21] where in the file system, does the mail program evolution normally live? 10.04 lts [20:22] tortoise7: Run `which evolution` at a terminal prompt. [20:22] tortoise7: ~/.evolution + ~/.config/evolution -- I think. [20:22] KM0201: No, I have to do it by hand [20:22] I have installed "nautilus-gksu" But it doesn't add any entry to right click..Can anyone help me??? [20:22] i have a sftp user that is chrooted to /jail/home/user....how can i give that user access to /media/drive?

[20:24] I have a number of virtual servers running Ubuntu 8.04. I am working on testing an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. After running do-release-upgrade and restarting, it dumps me to a BusyBox shell saying that /dev/sda1 does not exist. I have googled the error message and a number of post point to grub, but my /boot is on /dev/sda1 so I can't even look at my configuration to verify whether it could be the problem or not. [20:24] dajhorn: Thanks [20:24] red2kic: Thanks [20:24] MrUnagi: If you're running something like schroot, then change the /etc/schroot/mount-defaults file. [20:24] tortoise7: Welcome. [20:24] dajhorn: using this method http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/ [20:25] MrUnagi: If you're just using the plain chroot, then you'll need to do --rebind mount for the media device. [20:25] my google fu is failing me.... there is a patched version for ntop/ubuntu.... this fixes the random quits in ntop.... anyone have a link for this version? [20:25] I would like to disable a specific (faulty) USB port. The command 'echo -n "0000:00:1d.0" > unbind' works, but I would like to be able to do something like blacklist the specific device port (for persistence). Any ideas? [20:25] --rebind mount? [20:25] dajhorn: [20:25] jamesiarmes: maybe /dev/sda is now /dev/sdb or something else. this problem can occur when you use relative device names (/dev/sd..) instead of UUID [20:26] dajhorn: i think i got it....at least for a new user [20:26] MrUnagi: `mount --rebind /here /there` ... Okay. [20:26] dajhorn: are you saying bind to the home directory? [20:26] horrible: I did an ls on /dev and there are no /sd* devices listed at all [20:26] when it asks me about Software RAID device type.. it lists RAID0 RAID1 RAID5 RAID6 and RAID10.. what do i choose? [20:27] kilian76, choose to read on wikipedia about raid levels [20:27] MrUnagi: Bind the /media directory into the chroot tree so that the restricted user can see it. Read `man mount` for details and an example. [20:28] horrible: hello? [20:28] hi [20:28] helpmehelpme: yes? [20:28] horrible: did you see my last message [20:29] helpmehelpme: which one [20:29] horrible: my usb device does not show up in disk_utility [20:29] helpmehelpme: i saw it [20:29] horrible: what should i do now? 8 - ( I'm stuck [20:29] helpmehelpme: i don't know the answer to your question, that's why i didn't answer [20:29] Where are services started from with the new Upstart setup?

I am using nvidia-settings, and i can only get it to mirror the desktops instead of extending into the second space? [20:43] hello [20:44] lesshaste: Did you install the rhythmbox-plugin-coherence package, or did you try to install it from upstream? [20:44] dajhorn: i have mounted it into the drive, and i can indeed see it, but i cannot write to it as i do not have permissions, however chmod and chown change nothing, can you not change those when it is mounted? [20:44] where can I get the latest boost build? I only see boost 1.40 package in the package manager? [20:44] dajhorn: installing it now using sudo apt-get install rhythmbox-plugin-coherence [20:44] please help anyone [20:44] !list [20:44] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

Is the /media mount FAT16 or FAT32? [20:45] Any knows how to disable autologin in a live cd ? [20:45] dajhorn: ntfs [20:45] soundworks: why? [20:45] lesshaste: and how do I do that? [20:45] because I have to this [20:45] to do [20:45] soundworks: k... [20:45] the_drow: google :) [20:45] and dont know how [20:45] alguien escribe español XD [20:46] soundworks: if you tell us why you have to do it, we're more likely to be able to help you [20:46] ok [20:46] MrUnagi: Similar problem, but NTFS permissions ("ACLs") cannot be changed by the default NTFS driver. [20:46] !es | N370 [20:46] N370: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:46] dajhorn: so i should format in ext3? [20:46] gracias :D [20:46] ext4... [20:46] MrUnagi: That would be an easy solution. Another solution would be to do an /etc/fstab mount with user and group options. [20:46] my collegues want to present their program to other scientist [20:46] dajhorn: can you mount a drive to 2 mount points? [20:46] Anyone setup OVPN on Ec2 before? I'm trying on a Ubuntu instance and anytime I add a bridge interface and bring it up my instance goes dark. No more network connectivity. Any ideas? This is the config I'm adding. https://gist.github.com/e9ed7188be1d1ee04f16 [20:47] soundworks: try to keep your question on one single line [20:47] soundworks: you caould do a 'sudo service gdm stop' to stop X from starting.. if thats what you need. [20:47] MrUnagi: Kindof-sortof-mostly. Let the media mount happen automatically, and then do a rebind mount to make it visible in your chroot environment. [20:47] I dont neeed to stop X === test is now known as trijntje [20:48] dajhorn: i must have done it different, i simply mounted it into the chroot environment......but doing that i can only let one user at a time see it [20:48] I need to remove the autologin of the live cd, so that everyone who use the cd has to enter a password [20:48] soundworks: so you get to the gdm login screen on the live cd.. theres only 1 user you can login as.. [20:48] lesshaste: nothing with the latest version as far as I can see [20:48] soundworks: the answer to your question depends on why you actually want to do it. i.e. what you want to accomplish... [20:48] hi, is there a bot on #ubuntu? [20:49] the_drow: ok [20:49] MrUnagi: Okay, then you need to learn how to use the mount bind command. (The point of jailing users is to prevent them from having access to shared resources.) [20:49] magyar: a few, yes [20:49] I am trying to copy a large movie from my camera to the computer (1.8 gig) but I keep getting : Error getting file. Does anyone know what causes that? [20:49] but my question was why boost 1.4.0 is provided and not the latest version? [20:49] !sru | the_drow [20:49] the_drow: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [20:49] dajhorn: correct, essentially i have a vm with limited space, i am just trying to expand the available space to an external drive [20:49] jrib: looking for similar as dpkg in #debian [20:49] magyar: ubottu [20:49] jrib: thank you [20:49] hi, I have a problem with my 10.04. There is no video but there is audio on totem movie player and vlc. I have tried all suggestions up to now but still there is no video... any ideas [20:49] the_drow: ubuntu dosent update thigns constantly. with each release things are froze at teh version avail at that time. except for security updates. theres not a lot of upgraded things. [20:50] MrUnagi: On your system, would it be safe for your users to share the same chroot tree? [20:50] dajhorn: that would be easier, but i am trying to avoid it [20:50] Dakine58: that depends in what consits your problem [20:50] hi, I have a problem with my 10.04. There is no video but there is audio on totem movie player and vlc. I have tried all suggestions up to now but still there is no video... any ideas [20:50] dajhorn: mount -rbind olddir newdir is what i need right? [20:50] MrUnagi: What kind of data are your chroot'd users sharing (or not sharing) on the removable device? [20:51] zs1otb_, what's the video format [20:51] Dakine58: sorry, i was not up to date [20:51] dajhorn: pictures videos etc [20:51] hello.. i got an alix board.. and i want to install ubuntu.. is it possible to do it? it's a i586 geode LX in that board [20:51] maxo: avi, wmv, any format [20:51] MrUnagi: No, just use the regular --bind so that more than one user can see it. [20:51] I think autologin is applied by the casper scripts respectively by live-iniramfs, how to change this scripts in a way that they dont do autologin anymore [20:51] i read it wrong [20:51] zs1otb_, but have you tried different video files in all of those formats [20:51] MrUnagi: --rbind moves the mount point instead of duplicating it. [20:51] yep [20:52] I have a nvidia geforce 8600m gt video card on my laptop and I was wondering what drivers I should install? nvidia-173-dev or nvidia-96-dev? [20:52] so I can't rely on those packages being up to date? [20:52] how do i force a fsck on reboot? [20:52] the_drow: "up to date" in what sense? [20:52] I have un installed all vidoe related programs and re-installed everything [20:52] sasquatch1: nvidia-current instead. [20:52] latest version, latest bug fixes etc. [20:52] but still no video. but there is audio [20:53] jrib: does the bot has instructions for upgading 10.04 to 10.10? [20:53] dajhorn: Thank you. [20:53] sasquatch1: The 256 drivers go back to the 6000 series. (Welcome.) [20:53] ah it works thank you dajhorn [20:53] the_drow: "latest version" is ambiguous. Anyway, security patches are cherry-picked and applied to the versions in ubuntu [20:53] MrUnagi: Welcome. [20:53] !upgrade > magyar [20:53] magyar, please see my private message [20:53] dajhorn: now i can extend the chroot mainly by folder permissions correct? [20:53] jrib: got it, thanks [20:54] the_drow: did you red the link ubottu sent, it should explain this [20:54] read even [20:54] jrib: but it's only security fixes? say boost 1.5.0 contains new features. The package won't be updated due to that if I understand correctly [20:54] dajhorn: like chmod 700 would block anyone from even seeing the directory but the owner? [20:54] MrUnagi: Yes, if you reformat from NTFS to EXT4 (or some other posixly filesystem.) [20:54] ext4? [20:54] or ext3? [20:54] how do i force a fsck on reboot? [20:54] for ext4 [20:54] Can I compile and use mysql on ubuntu 10.04 [20:54] ext4 must be new =/ [20:54] Anyone know what the apt-get thing for samba is? [20:55] new things scare me lol [20:55] also is ext4 good enough to be usable? [20:55] how can I temporarily stop the SSH server (openssh-server)? [20:55] ProtiK: apt-get install samba [20:55] MrUnagi: ext4 is the default for new systems. [20:55] frxstrem: sudo service sshd stop [20:55] rfxstrem remove sshd? [20:55] the_drow: right, not for new features. The policy is to just cherry pick major bug fixes and security issues. Having said that, you might find a ppa that tries to stay in sync with upstream releases (sacrificing stability) [20:55] MrUnagi: Thanks :) [20:55] dajhorn: [20:55] sihill: well, as it's just temporarily, I'd prefer not to [20:55] hi, I have a problem with my 10.04. There is no video but there is audio on totem movie player and vlc. I have tried all suggestions up to now but still there is no video... any ideas [20:55] frxstrem: er, ssh not sshd [20:55] frxstrem: sudo service ssh stop [20:55] maco: I'll try that [20:55] anyone know howto create a livecd without autologin using debootstrap? [20:56] dajhorn: Will I have to uninstall Nouveau driver or will Ubuntu autoselect the nvidia driver for use? [20:56] ~x~ Greetings. I need some help if anyone is available. [20:56] !ask | Nickolas [20:56] Nickolas: 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).

"Clear" bar scrolling from top to bottom. Looks to be a DPI issue but I can not set the DPI in Ubuntu 10.4 because it appears to be locked. Help if you can please. Thank you. [20:56] for an SSH server, how do I lock down all of the users to share one directory for SFTP share? [20:56] sasquatch1: Install the proprietary nvidia driver and reboot. You should get a prompt (by the jockey program) asking you whether to use the new driver. Don't touch the nouveau stuff. [20:57] DPI issue? Ubuntu 10.4. Sony Bravia 32" monitor. "Clear" bar scrolling from top to bottom. Looks to be a DPI issue but I can not set the DPI in Ubuntu 10.4 because it appears to be locked. Help if you can please. Thank you. [20:57] dajhorn: Ok great. Thank you. Much appreciated. [20:57] Nickolas: xrandr --dpi 96 [20:57] sasquatch1: Welcome. [20:57] Nickolas: whats that say? [20:57] hello. I have a belkin G wireless router [model number if needed] I want to make into a wireless repeater. I have DSL connected to a 2wire. Does any one know how I can achieve this? The dd-wrt firmware is not compatible with this belkin router. [20:58] Xrandr - Not sure what you are asking me [20:58] I have a problem with my upgraded 10.04. There is no video but there is audio on totem movie player and vlc for all formats. I have tried all suggestions up to now but still there is no video... any ideas [20:58] Nickolas: xrandr is a command [20:58] tim__: not really an ubuntu question [20:58] ?? [20:58] how do i change default MTA? [20:58] Nickolas: in a terminal, if you type "xrandr --dpi 96" what is the output? [20:58] zs1otb_, what have you try? [20:59] jrib, direct my questions to? [20:59] mattyh88: Just install the one that you want. The MTAs in Ubuntu usually conflict with each other. [20:59] BRB..looking [20:59] zs1otb_, run "gstreamer-properties" and on the Video tab / for Default Output - Plugin, select the "X Window System (No Xv)" dropdown [20:59] I have instal;led all the lib' suggested, I have even uninstalled all video related progs and then installed all of them.. [20:59] dajhorn: exim4 and sendmail are both installed [20:59] dajhorn: (with my new installation) [21:00] 1360x768 60.0 + [21:00] 1280x768 59.9* [21:00] 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 [21:00] 800x600 75.0 60.3 [21:00] 640x480 75.0 60.0 59.9 [21:00] Nickolas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

You should prefer exim4, because it is in 'main' and will get security updates. [21:00] Am I still on? [21:01] Y or N [21:01] Nickolas, yes we read you [21:01] TY [21:01] So how do I change the DPI in Ubuntu 10.4? [21:01] dajhorn: well, i haven't got much of a choise i think, as bugzilla only supports smpt/sendmail [21:02] mattyh88: Every MTA that I've used provides a /usr/sbin/sendmail work-alike. Let me check something... [21:03] There is a bar scrolling from bottom to top of screen in UBUNTU 10.4 [21:03] How do I fix it [21:03] ? [21:03] mattyh88: The bugzilla package in Ubuntu has this dependency: exim4 | mail-transport-agent [21:03] mattyh88: exim4 should therefore be compatible. [21:04] disconnect [21:04] I am trying to copy a large movie from my camera to the computer (1.8 gig) but I keep getting : Error getting file. Does anyone know what causes that? [21:04] dajhorn: ah okay, but i fired up the interface to reconfigure exim4 [21:04] Ubuntu Server SSH question: How can I set up SSH / SFTP for different users and lock them into a specific directory tree? [21:04] tried that no go [21:04] zs1otb_, don't know then. good luck. [21:05] zs1otb_, do you have mplayer installed? [21:05] dajhorn: now i get an error remote_smtp_smarthost defer (111) connection refused [21:05] dajhorn: when sending mails that is from bugzilla [21:06] There is a bar scrolling from bottom to top of my screen. Not a solid bar. Transparent. How do I fix this? === zac is now known as Guest54155 [21:06] campbellgolf: Look at the ChrootDirectory option in the sshd_config man page. [21:06] for some reason, on the live version of ubuntu 10.10, everything on the screen freezes after a few seconds of not moving the mouse [21:06] yes [21:06] dajhorn roger that [21:07] Any idea why? It's pretty annoying to watch a movie while moving the mouse constantly [21:07] mattyh88: You'll need to provide more information. If you didn't reboot, then exim probably isn't listening on port 25, or is listening on just 127.0.0.1:25 [21:07] zs1otb_, try "mplayer -vo gl VIDEO_FILE.FOO" and see if you get output - then try these other vo options: xv x11 - do any of those 3 work? [21:08] dajhorn: yes i think i've only put 127.0.0.1:25 [21:08] dajhorn: didn't realy get that whole config process of exim4 [21:08] Nickolas: what do you mean a 'bar scrolling' === ng_ is now known as NG_ [21:08] dajhorn: like what do i need to fill in @ 'system mail name' [21:09] dajhorn--is he screen saver on? [21:09] I'm trying to use ubuntu without a mouse... how to I open the desktop menu? (ctrl-ESC on windows) [21:09] mattyh88: Dunno. This depends on your configuration, like whether you have a real external IP address, and who the MTA is forwarding to. [21:10] mattyh88: I would first relax the localhost restriction, and check whether it works. [21:10] KM0201 - it seems to be a dpi issue [21:10] dajhorn: localhost restriction? only mailing options locally you mean? [21:11] Nickolas, DPI = Dots Per Inch, that vertical scrolling line sounds like a refresh rate issue - are you using a CRT or a LCD (LCD shouldn't have that issue i believe) [21:11] mattyh88: Right now, your exim installation is probably listening on port 25 only on localhost. If bugzilla is trying to use the default interface, then you need to configure exim to listen everywhere. ie: 0.0.0.0:25 (I don't remember the option, you'll need to read the setup docs.)

[21:28] leomast247, the downloading part is OT for this channel. But Rhythmbox is set to look in a directory for it's music library, simply put the mp3s in that directory. [21:28] lickalott: watcha wanna know? [21:28] I'm running 10.10 inside VB and can't for the life of me figure out how to mount my host hardrive [21:28] ok cool thanks :) [21:28] where can i talk about the topic? [21:28] lickalott: why would you *want* to do that? [21:28] sda - no sda1 - no sda2 - no sda5 - no [21:29] lickalott: you wont see host drives/partitions inside a guest [21:29] so I have to use the "storage" tab only? [21:29] lickalott, research "shared directories" i think it's called - never used it myself. [21:30] what do i do when i get an Installation Step Failed? [21:30] all you'll be able to see is the virtual drives/partitions, yes, defined in that tab [21:30] kk [21:30] tks [21:30] i some lines to sysctl.conf but after reboot they don't seem to be executed... any idea? [21:30] basically if everything works okay (win apps ported over to debian) i will likely swap OS's [21:31] VB is my trial run before I go full on [21:31] lickalott, do you play many games? If so, then you'll probably be disappointed. [21:32] lickalott, you might consider a dual boot if above is true. [21:32] or if you use Proppellerheads Reason :'( [21:33] how come when i play music in rythmbox i dont hear anything...and yes volume is on [21:33] I have a 32bit system that I want to use 4gb of ram with. I have checked my CPU flags, and the processor does have support for the PAE extention, 'uname -a' indicates that I have the pae kernel running, yet my system still indicates only 3.1gb of ram being utilized. Is there anywhere I can go from here? [21:34] dajhorn that was helpful, it lead me to this which is exactly what I was looking for. http://wiki.lapipaplena.org/index.php/How_to_mount_SFTP_accesses === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [21:35] mikva: perhaps the remaining ram is used by an onboard video card? [21:36] mikva: is your ram shared with video? [21:36] mikva, i consider PAE a "hack". It does allow the system to use more then 4GB of memory, but each program is still limited to the 3.XGB - if you open a bunch of memory intensive programs does it go beyond 3.1? [21:36] those shared ram types [21:36] are there some "windows like" firewall for linux (ie, "program X is trying to connect to Y. allow?" baloon)? [21:36] guampa, I doubt the video card is using almost a full GB of shared ram, but I'll check [21:36] what do i do when i get an Installation Step Failed? [21:37] mikva: mine does [21:38] guampa, what's a good way to find the video ram usage? [21:38] mikva: hmm lemme see [21:38] ZykoticK9, is what you're saying that each program cannot address more than 3gb in it's own process but something like process A: 2gb and process B: 2gb would use up the 4gb? [21:39] .12 [21:39] mikva, correct - combined it can use the 4GB [21:40] ZykoticK9, that's interesting. You wouldn't happen to know if virtualbox has seperate address space for each VM concurrently running? I guess I should just check once I get my situation fixed. [21:40] mikva: this one's great http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-find-linux-vga-video-card-ram/ [21:41] mikva, certainly using multiple VBox instances (on my 64bit machine) I can use all my memory [21:41] Hello all... my first time using irc chat .is there a beginner's place to go? [21:42] what do you usually choose as a System mail name> [21:42] ZykoticK9, yes, but you're using 64bit. I'm wondering if PAE would limit that if virtualbox uses RAM all within one thread or process or whatever limits the 32bit address space [21:42] what do you usually choose as a System mail name> [21:43] mikva, that i don't know - it probably does... sorry. [21:43] merry christmas to all, and to all a goodnight [21:43] ZykoticK9, that's ok. It's something that I should just check for myself :) [21:43] guampa, thank - I've looked for the video information before - and you just found me my answer :) [21:44] hello i have downloaded a game app for ubuntu and have ran the downloading process and got a folder what should i do now? [21:44] any l33t haxors here [21:44] ZykoticK9: glad to help, that method was a good find for me too ;) [21:44] l33tUbunuhaxor: do you have a support question in regard to ubuntu ? [21:45] Is there a simple way to tell a booting machine not to resume from a disk image? [21:45] why arent there codecs on ubuntu like on mint? [21:46] l33tUbunuhaxor, not sure what mint does to get around the licensing [21:46] guampa, my video card is only using 256mb of ram, so I dont think 4gb -> 3.1 gb is explainable by shared video ram [21:46] l33tUbunuhaxor:there are, you just install them [21:46] hello i have downloaded a game app for ubuntu and have ran the downloading process and got a folder what should i do now? [21:46] !codecs| l33tUbunuhaxor [21:46] l33tUbunuhaxor: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:46] mikeliss: are you using an OS under two diff exec environments? [21:46] leomast247: what do the install instructions tell y ou to do [21:46] what do you usually choose as a System mail name> [21:47] guampa, what do you mean exec environment? [21:47] thanks [21:47] mikeliss: like "native" and "virtualized" [21:47] i just did the download command in terminal and it got it as a folder [21:47] leomast247: ok, so what do the install instructions tell you to do [21:48] guampa, No, it's a fairly normal machine, except that the resume image seems to be corrupted, and every time I boot, it tries to use that image. [21:48] Any idea what the following means? (it's in /var/log/messages) : kernel: [46695.316289] words[14675]: segfault at bf534ff0 ip 08048bf3 sp bf534ff0 error 6 in words[8048000+1000] [21:48] guampa, The other problem is that the disk is encrypted, but I think that's the cause of the problem, not the solution. [21:48] idk what instructions ur talking about [21:48] leomast247: the ones either on the website you got it from, or from the developers who made it, or within the pacakge [21:49] will the driver to my sata card which is made for suse or the other for redhat work in my ubuntu 10.4 machine? [21:49] there is just a folder in my downloads folder called alienarena-7.50 [21:49] what is the most ubuntu way to get an apache server running on ubuntu? im trying to download XAMPP but afrihost is full of shit got a 8kb/s download [21:49] hey i have a question is telnet or ssh automatically installed in a standard ubuntu desktop install? [21:49] ah sorry actually got it [21:50] leomast247: read the website you got it from, it should have instructions or a contact information from the makers you can ask for instructions, or look in the folder fo instructions [21:50] mikeliss: never faced that prob, trying to find some info .. [21:50] l33tUbunuhaxor: use lamp, not xampp as xammp is a self contained platform that is not supported [21:50] max_sharpe: neither, install openssh-server if you want ssh access , whereas telnet is very unsecure and should not be used [21:50] max_sharpe, pretty sure ssh isn't [21:50] Okay. [21:50] guampa, awesome. I tried too, but didn't find anything using error messages...I'm trying the grub IRC channel too, but so far only silence there. [21:51] but anyof them inst installed by default right? [21:51] l33tUbunuhaxor: install apache2 or lamp-server [21:51] mikeliss: is the system able to boot? [21:51] k? what is the closest thing to Usbwebserver on windows? i used that for some php dev and worked really easy [21:51] l33tUbunuhaxor: apache [21:51] Huawei E1552 works quite well in Maveric except that the stick is never recognized on boot and needs to be re-inserted for it to work. Does anyone know how to make it work without re-insertion? [21:52] kk found it thanks [21:52] usbwebserver is apche with mysql and php admin gui interface [21:52] guampa, Nope, that's the problem. I press the power button, it asks for my password for the encrypted disk, I put it in, then it tries to resume from the disk image. === seiflotfy_ is now known as help [21:52] l33tUbunuhaxor: apache/mysql/php and then use what ever gui's you want [21:52] my name is just for trolling mint channel btw hahah [21:52] drop === help is now known as Guest41209 [21:53] hi kukuruzo [21:53] l33tUbunuhaxor: no one is interested in your name [21:53] guampa, After that, it gives me an error, "The system snapshot image could not be read." The error goes on, but eventually asks, "Do you want to continue boot?" To which I answer Y, which does nothing, I'm guessing because it's frozen at that point. [21:53] ok so if i dont use any gui and just pure apache where would the apache root b? [21:53] народ ктонить курит марихуану [21:53] ikonia:Ur name is boring [21:53] l33tUbunuhaxor: look in the apache config, it will tell you where the "DocumentRoot" is [21:53] !ru | ubuntu [21:53] ubuntu: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:54] l33tUbunuhaxor: I'm interested in support discussion only in this channel, nothing more please. [21:54] спасибо (sorry) [21:54] Ikonia: what is someone like you doing in this channel..with ur brains u should be in Gentoo or arch linux support channel [21:55] lol [21:55] ... [21:55] l33tUbunuhaxor: I'll say it one more time, I'm interested in support discussion in this channel only, nothing more [21:55] does anyone know about Apparmor? [21:55] ryt [21:56] l33tUbunuhaxor, he's ours and we're keeping him [21:56] can you use IMAP in evolution instead of pop? [21:56] does anyone know about Apparmor? [21:56] MLHickey: yes [21:56] lol hes pretty good id get frustrated if i was him [21:56] for a gmail account [21:56] peace out [21:57] MLHickey, yes [21:57] ok thanks, all these set up tutorials are using POP [21:57] MLHickey, in fact, you get all your folders sync`d,.. [21:58] MLHickey, if you want a simpler, push method, try gm-notify [21:58] mikeliss: this may be something to try shttp://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ubuntu-freeze-no-resume-image/ [21:58] will the driver to my sata card which is made for suse or the other for redhat work in my ubuntu 10.4 machine? [21:58] jumba, i know about apparmor, but i assume that is not the answer you were looking for. [21:59] xim_, if the driver is not in the kernel, but you have to download an rpm for suse/rh and there is not rpm for ubuntu, than it at least wont work out of the box [21:59] mongy, is that in the package manager? [22:00] MLHickey, yes. its not an email client, its just a notifier..which takes you, when you click it, to gmail page [22:00] yea, i guess that's simpler and it's push [22:01] MLHickey, I only mention it because email isnt a huge part of my life.. and this is enough. [22:01] guampa, hmm...can't get the recovery mode to work, so that's a non-starter, unfortunately. [22:01] during set up [22:01] its asking me for directorys space delimited. [22:01] same for me mongy, just a simple notification would be fine [22:02] im having an issue with something that states mercurial [22:02] MLHickey, well thats the ticket. There are others but they require delay between checks [22:02] how do i fix it? [22:02] MLHickey: and setting up gmail in evolution is a pain [22:02] that's what it seemed like haha [22:02] another simple question [22:03] how to change your root password if you don't know it [22:03] gmail works just fine in Evolution [22:03] :P [22:03] MLHickey, in evolution,,, even if you try to do pop, it sets imap... well ironically, imap works better [22:03] hi Gents [22:03] !root | max_sharpe [22:03] max_sharpe: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:03] max_sharpe: you'll have to boot into a rescue environment [22:03] I have a 64bit server (lucid) [22:03] when I run ldd, it says "not a dynamic executable" .. why ? [22:03] mikeliss: did the recovery option show up in the menu when pressing ESC? did it fail? [22:03] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/314037/ [22:03] Ohhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [22:03] okay ill google that [22:03] hold on [22:04] i forget about that featureeeeeeee [22:04] guampa, yeah, the recovery option shows up, but does the same thing as the non-recovery option. [22:04] max_sharpe: Oh that works too if you're using 'sudo'. If you can use sudo and want to set a root PW for some reason, you would do 'sudo su -' to switch to root shell and can then use the standard 'passwd' command. That's not the "Ubuntu way" though :) [22:04] I had installed gnome-elegant and now I installed orta theme..and I dont know how to set nautilus theme to be elementary ...any suggestions ?? [22:04] Okay thanks [22:04] hello i am installing a game known as alien arena (for ubuntu) from their site. I have already unpacked the file and got a folder in the downloads folder. I then followed the insttructions which told me to change to the alien arena directory and type in the command ./configure but i just get an error [22:04] Sweetums, max_sharpe don't use "sudo su -"! if you NEED too use "sudo -i" [22:05] I want to get rid of the text below back forward up arrows...in nautilus [22:05] or if it has to do with permissions is there a way to set grant all to all permissions? [22:05] d [22:05] ZykoticK9: That can be really annoying if I have to do tons of things as root. Thanks but I'm a big boy - I can handle 'root'. I'm not scared :) [22:05] mikeliss: get to the grub menu again and select recovery mode, but instead of enter press "e" [22:05] leomast247: you're probably missing dependencies , libraries or header files === taka is now known as Guest79579 [22:06] Anyone have ldapscripts running without issue? I can authenticate using the standard LDAP command-line tools and ldapscripts seems to be configured correctly, but the log says it's not providing the right credentials [22:06] how do i get them [22:06] guampa, yeah, that's where I'm at now...I just tried the noresume option, but that didn't work either. [22:06] Sweetums: try "sudo -s". it lets you do tons of things with root priviligies, without having to log in as root. [22:06] wrd: it checks for all these different things and says no [22:06] leomast247, read the output of configure carefully, its all there. and no, it is not easy. [22:06] nibbler_, ok thanks. im going to have to recompile the kernel i guess. will i have to do that for all my drivers every time i update the kernel? [22:07] horrible: That still requires me to run 'sudo' each and every time though, no? [22:07] sweetums, sudo su [22:07] Sweetums: no [22:07] is it possible to have this "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kubuntu-9.04-DesktopEffects.png" type of visual effect in ubuntu [22:07] Having an issue after I install Ubuntu. Screenshot: http://tinypic.com/r/fvwjdc/7 [22:07] xim_: Yes I know - *I* was the one that suggested that initialyl :) [22:07] Using Brasero ... Data DVD, it puts the files on the disk but right before it starts actually copying the data(burning) ... it says [22:07] guys, when I run ldd, it says "not a dynamic executable" .. why ? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/314037/ [22:07] Unable to mount Data disc (03 Jan 11) [22:07] Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [22:07] mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/Data disc (03 Jan 11) busy [22:07] xim_, well, if the driver is open source and well, then it is in the default kernel. just boot your harware from ubuntu life-cd and see if the hardware works [22:07] OrangePeel: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:07] Sweetums, sorry didnt scroll up [22:07] xim_: "sudo -s" achieves the same thing, but is better than "sudo su" [22:07] horrible: See the problem is - 'sudo' != Replacement for sensibility [22:07] xim_: No wories, this thing goes FAST :) [22:08] okay maybe this will stump you all i don't remember my user password for ubuntu is there a way to let me change it with out reinstalling? [22:08] Sweetums: well are you asking for support or are you here to complain about the ubuntu design choices [22:08] leomast247: read the requirements sections of your game, and try to figure out which packets are actually missing. install the -dev versions of these libraries and then configure shall not fail. [22:08] mikeliss: if this doesn't work you'll need a livecd then, boot and restore the system from it [22:08] leomast247, use nopaste, dont PM others [22:08] !ccsm | pravin [22:08] pravin: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [22:08] Sweetums: i might remind you that none of us here has any part in designing or coding ubuntu [22:08] !password | max_sharpe [22:08] max_sharpe: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [22:08] horrible: not complaing about design choices at all. Sorry if that was implied. I'm simply saying 'sudo rm -rf /' isn't going to save you over 'sudo su - ; rm -rf /' [22:09] nibbler_, the driver is open source, its on the manufacturers website, your saying its probably already in the kernel? it was open source back during edgy time [22:09] zmitya: Run `file mysqld` to get more information. You're running a local copy of MySQL, not the Ubuntu package, so you're asking for help in the wrong place. [22:09] hey, ive got something thats locking my root, is that maybe a virus? [22:09] no matter how rare? [22:09] !root | n0a1ias [22:09] n0a1ias: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:09] g7 [22:09] xim_, well, you need to find out - anyway, kernel-recompile wont be needed anyway, as its enough to compile a module. just find out if it is included in the standard kernel of ubuntu, easiest way is to boot a cd.... [22:09] dajhorn: please see my post: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/314037/ [22:10] thats not at all what im talking about, GeekSquid [22:10] thanks!!! [22:10] im talking about sudo [22:10] Sweetums: there are other advantages of sudo. such as not having the different administrators share the same password. [22:10] zmitya: What are you expecting to see that you aren't getting? [22:10] hello ! I have to configure alsa to swap some channels to get surround working. Do you know where I can find a good introduction to alsa ? [22:10] horrible: Agreed. This isn't a sudo sucks argument. I'm pro sudo. [22:10] nibbler_: ok sorry [22:11] guampa, Ugh...if I had a dollar for every time this system made me do something like that just to boot, I'd be a somewhat richer person. [22:11] hehehe [22:11] n0a1ias: I don't care how possible you think a virus is... I haven't actually seen one effect a linux machine yet, and when it does happen I expect it to come to the top of google news [22:11] guys, somethings locking my root open right now, all i have open is this xchat [22:11] Sweetums: well still, i recommend using "sudo -s" over "sudo su" [22:12] dajhorn: well, I was curious for the linked libs maybe ? [22:12] guampa, if I do the liveCD route, do you know how to manually delete the disk image? [22:12] mikeliss: i'd be a millonaire too if got paid for every OS lock up / destruction i did [22:12] dajhorn: but I forgot this parameter: --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static [22:12] nibbler_, i feel like i could really waste days and days and days of my time if i dont start out in the right direction, how would i know on a boot cd if it was working or not. its a sata card. when it boots it actually says no bios found (for the sata controller) and then doesnt detect my two drives plugged in. maybe the driver is already fine and this is another problem? [22:12] dajhorn: so it is *really* not a dyn linked app [22:12] horrible: To each his own. For those not familiar with sudo or system administration in general, I'd agree with you. I still prefer using 'sudo su -' if I'm going to be doing heavy lifting. But I'm not in any way suggesting that is the right thing to do (nor am I saying it's the wrong thing - it just is). [22:12] dajhorn: thanks anyway [22:12] zmitya: Yup. [22:13] mikeliss: i can help you in doing what the link above mentions, which is simply recreating the swap partition [22:13] !wfm | Sweetums [22:13] Sweetums: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [22:13] Sweetums: what "heavy lifting" can you do with "sudo su -" that is harder to do with "sudo -s" [22:13] !osdfkas [22:13] Sweetums: they are used in *exactly* the same way [22:13] xim_, sounds like a driver problem. well, its a problem at least which might stop you from using ubuntu. === Guest41209 is now known as seiflotfy [22:14] Sweetums: the correct way of sudo persistance is sudo -i ... sudo su has it's vunerabilities [22:14] hi [22:14] how to paste a file on the back of another ? [22:14] file1 > file2 ? [22:14] horrible: Ah I see now. I thought you said I had to type 'sudo' everytime with -i. I see now that both -s and -i work. [22:14] aLeSD: >> [22:14] thanks [22:14] aLeSD: file1 >> file2 [22:14] Thanx GeekSquid [22:15] nibbler_, ubuntu is on an IDE drive, its only my extra stuff on sata, so i can boot, but now you have me thinking maybe it isnt the driver, the no bios error happens like right after the memory post and ide detection and before ubuntu starts loading [22:15] wow -i and -s are rather subtle === pixelpirate_ is now known as PooPirate [22:15] this is probably one of the dumber questions here, but if i install a program and it doesn't go into the applications drop down, where does it go? [22:16] MLHickey: what program? [22:16] MLHickey, if you installed a console application it won't show in the menu [22:16] the applications menu is just an ALIAS [22:16] gm-notifier [22:16] whereis gm-notifier? [22:17] MLHickey: rt-click your panel, Add To panel ... Add the gmail notifier [22:18] thanks i've only been on ubuntu for a few days [22:18] MLHickey, or if you installed it through synaptic you can find the package and goto properties and see the installed files, look for the ones under /bin/ or /usr/bin for the executable names [22:18] gm-notify [22:18] MLHickey: there are not dumb questions, we are all noobs at some level :>) [22:18] mikeliss: found threads with your error message now [22:18] couldn't find nothing before [22:18] That's something...I haven't found anything so far.... [22:19] ok, so most programs install in the user/bin area, thanks i just didn't know if there was a list of installed programs [22:19] MLHickey, You can generate a list of installed programs, yes. [22:20] MLHickey, its gm-notify, then look in your indicator menu, and or, system, prefs gm notify config [22:20] MLHickey, But I just read over your request...that's probably not what you want...disregard me. Generally, if you want to run a program that's not in the applications drop down, you can type the name in a terminal [22:20] anyone successfully remapped caps lock to control for use in vim/gvim? I have it remapped in Xmodmap, but doesn't seem to work in vim/gvim [22:21] How can I tell when my vpnc client was last run? === flavio is now known as Guest32360 [22:22] thanks, I found it in the preferences and I have it auto start, === OD is now known as Proger [22:22] horrible, GeekSquid: Thanks for the tip about sudo. Hard to break a habit but I'll take at look at those flags further. You're right as those seems superior to su -.

[23:31] ocean: try typing startx and see what message you get [23:31] Paatus: that's fine, if it is a long, long question, consider putting it into a pastebin [23:31] Paatus: http://www.davidhurst.co.uk/2007/06/19/php-mail-and-ssmtp-on-debian-linux/ [23:32] wow thanks erUSUL [23:33] but.. on my domain how can i configure a smtp subdomain? cause i should do that right? [23:33] i am getting a long output, but one of the line says fatal server error no screen found [23:33] ocean: Which graphics card is it? [23:34] i got a subdomain called mail but how do i make it a smtp? [23:34] on my laptop its written ATI mobility radeon premium graphics [23:34] iirc his laptop should have the ati mobility radeon 4250 gpu [23:35] I have 2 hard drive icons on my desktop , how can i make their icons revert back to default? i've changed them now I want them to use the system icon theme i have running [23:36] erUSUL: how can i make a subdomain a smtp domain? :D [23:36] when i tried restarting the laptop with ac power disconnected it did not even go to command mode. it gave a message error at low memory [23:36] help [23:36] i get gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256 [23:36] and then gnome power manager says in the corner that its configuration is bad [23:36] and it looks unskinned like win98 [23:36] and i cant log in because i get the 256 error again [23:37] 10.10 x64 [23:37] ocean: Try this from a root prompt: apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx && rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && reboot [23:37] What repositories do I have to enable in order to install a 2.6.36 kernel and its source package through apt? [23:37] how do i fully remove gnome including config files [23:37] and then reinstall it [23:38] does anyone know how to make my subdomain a smtp server? [23:39] ocean: the restricted drivers are adaptations of the ati graphics drivers that give you full potentional of your graphics card in your system versus the generic graphics card driver which is slow (very slow) but useable. I have an older hp laptop wth nvidia graphics card inside. I have never had a problem with using restricted drivers, and I highly reccomend them. the only other thing I can think of besides what soreau has [23:39] suggested is: have you played with any bios settings that could have an impact? [23:39] is that X11 or Xll in the command line? [23:39] eleven [23:40] delaware: Its not a generic driver, its the open radeon driver and its quite capable [23:40] what should i do after removing them [23:40] ocean: X eleven [23:40] ? [23:40] Paatus: your question is application specific .. I reccommend taking your questions to #postfix [23:41] so am i going to miss the full potential of my graphic card if i remove it? :-( [23:41] ocean: The default radeon driver should be active by default after you remove fglrx [23:41] soreau: the driver you first start out with then you install ubuntu is a gneric driver, then you can opt to enable the restricted driver which is the open radon driver. correct me again if i'm wrong. [23:42] Ubuntu gives you the open radeon driver by default [23:42] so anybody have ant experience with western digital HD's and firmware ie smartware [23:42] *any [23:42] delaware: You are wrong. The open radeon driver is the default. Fglrx is the proprietary/catalyst driver that is optional for newer radeon cards [23:43] soreau: okay, that sounds right. thanks, (re-learn) something everyday. [23:43] What repositories do I have to enable in order to install a 2.6.36 kernel and its source package through apt? [23:43] how do i know if my smtp server requires authentification? [23:43] yes i installed the the restricted driver later [23:43] I have 2 hard drive icons on my desktop , how can i make their icons revert back to default? i've changed them now I want them to use the system icon theme i have running [23:43] hello [23:43] nit-wit: I have an older western digiatal hd in my computer and it's fine, It was in a dell computer that got hit by lighning and then I moved it when I build this computer. [23:43] thanks a lot guys [23:43] it was chmod 1777 /tmp [23:43] nit-wit are you trying to disable the annoying virtual drive on a wd hd? [23:43] dumbasses [23:44] taiyal: the main repository has both of it. [23:44] the default repositories only have up to 2.6.35 something [23:44] taiyal: you just have to enable it through software center. [23:44] * KM0201 guesses Rajko wasn't happy with the service he got for what it cost... [23:44] oh, I haven't tried software center yet, only synaptic [23:45] soreau i am trying to restart my computer now and nothing comes up when i choose ubuntu [23:45] delaware, I was just trying to help somebody intall Ubuntu installed rebooted in then rebootes to a no disc whic I have a sourceforge link on [23:46] ocean: Then you have bigger problems than just graphics drivers [23:46] delaware, would help to know the disable or hide though, appears available in the latest firmware [23:46] i agree with soreau [23:46] how can i figure it out [23:46] I can't get the right parameters with fstab. a) my ntfs partition can only be unmounted by root, and b) the vfat partition isn't mounted read-write at boot time (only if I unmount+mount it). can anyone help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/550029/ [23:46] reinstalling ubuntu can it help? [23:47] NixGeek, thanks for the response [23:47] ocean: Did you turn the machine completely off and wait a few seconds to restart it? [23:47] no [23:47] uzi__: my Software Center only shows kernels up to 2.6.35 (I'm using 10.10 here) [23:47] nit-wit: happy to help [23:47] nit-wit if you want to hide a virtual drive on a wd hd, you have to have a windows pc to run wd's software to modify the firmware and turn off that option. [23:48] ocean: Since fglrx and radeon are two very different drivers, it might be a good idea to power down the machine completely and cold boot it to make sure the card isnt in a nonfunctional state [23:48] delaware, Thats what I thought thanks.:) [23:48] taiyal: i think you could just add natty respository. i'm not sure if they have 2.6.36. [23:49] okay, I'll try that, thanks [23:49] what is cold boot, sorry soreau to aks that Q? [23:49] Hailz to all :) just a quick question (what would be the best compression to use on dvd image) [23:49] what is the URL where I can type config snippets? [23:49] Hello all i have a prob when i or a prog tries to change the screen res i get thrown back to the log in screen ? any ideas [23:49] I'm try to clean up my External [23:49] ocean: when you start your computer from poweroff state. [23:49] ocean: cold boot means to turn the machine off and wait a few seconds before restarting it [23:49] so what is the recomended way of doing it on the hp laptop [23:50] poor TB drive with 3gbs left lol [23:50] ok, i will try that now [23:50] please tell me where should i put my php module? [23:50] 3gbs is a lot. [23:50] well no i have to do a whole format [23:50] so i need a good compresstion tool [23:50] will /etc/php5/apache2 ok? [23:50] jmmmp: use ntfs-config to do it graphically. install with "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" [23:50] gui or command ref if anyone knows off hand [23:51] does this mean that ubuntu is not flawless on 64 bit. [23:51] ocean: Nothing is flawless but ubuntu works pretty well all in all [23:51] i know i could use the stander ones .. but just though maybe there is better compressions [23:52] I don't care the time it takes lol [23:52] ocean: i guess depending on your hardware, it might be flawless [23:52] nothing is flawless [23:52] Nixgeek: also for the fat32 partition? === Tommy_ is now known as Guest30064 [23:53] I tried that soreau twice. no joy once the booting up page came up but it don do anything === Guest30064 is now known as Lantchips [23:53] ocean: Was this an upgrade or a clean install? [23:54] jmmmp: should look a little more like this /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g rw,nls=iso8859-1, 0 0 [23:54] its a brand new laptop and a clean install [23:54] it worked on first reboot [23:54] so no ione really know a good compression program? or did i miss my answer sorry :) [23:54] anyone have clue as to why grub fails to install and dpkg returns error 1.... on a fresh install with custom partitions..... and yet everything installs just fine if automatic installation is allowed...... 10.04/ amd64/ 500GB hdd / no other os. [23:54] ocean: I dont know what happened but you can try reinstalling and dont install the fglrx driver [23:54] so what is that driver for soreau. [23:55] ocean: It is the proprietary driver AMD/Radeon releases for newer radeon cards though it is less stable than the open radeon driver [23:55] would it affect the perfomance of the graphics functionality of the laptop? [23:55] jmmmp: use GeekSquid's thing, it'll probably be better. It's been a bit since i messed with mounting NTFS partitions [23:56] ocean: Yes [23:56] GeekSquid: thanks. do you know also about the vfat one? [23:56] which is the better one? [23:56] for fat32, basically the same thing except instead of NTFS-3g, put vfat [23:56] NixGeek: yes, the ntfs program only asked for read/write (which is already ok) [23:56] ocean: In my opinion, the open radeon driver is better === francisco is now known as Guest70125 [23:57] including the better function as well? [23:57] ocean: But its still in heavy development and not yet optimized [23:57] Hi, can anyone give me help with ndiswrapper here? [23:57] which is in heavy development? [23:57] kingos: Which chip is it? [23:57] open on restricted? [23:57] ocean: open is an acronym of restricted [23:58] soreau: bcmwlhigh5 [23:58] ! ndiswrapper | kingos [23:58] jmmmp: /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 vfat defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0 [23:58] kingos: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:58] Anyone here using NodeZero? [23:58] soreau: both with default, and compiled from svn, after I install the driver, both ndisdriver -l and lsusb hang [23:58] <{C}ronos> is there a way to remount usb drives without unpluging and repluging? [23:59] kingos: If lsusb hangs, that is not good [23:59] so what kind of driver is installed on a custom ubuntu install [23:59] soreau: clearly :) [23:59] {C}ronos: i suppose, with umount [23:59] {C}ronos: umount and mount [23:59] soreau: so what can I do about it? [23:59] {C}ronos: Or click on it in nautilus [23:59] <{C}ronos> doesnt quite work the way i would expect
