[00:00] kingos: We cant really help you too much because you have already installed nonstandard packages [00:00] <{C}ronos> when i try to mount after umount it says not in fstab [00:01] soreau: well, it doesn't work with the standard package :) [00:01] How do I add a directory to the PATH for all users? [00:01] {C}ronos: You need to specify a mount point [00:01] {C}ronos: For example: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 [00:01] <{C}ronos> thank you [00:02] is there some tool i can use to use a GET/PUT HTTP proxy on a specific appliation? [00:02] proxychains seems to only allow CONNECT http proxies [00:04] soreau, would u recomend not to install that driver after trying another ubuntu install? [00:04] i just installed (x)ubuntu 10.10 in hopes to get rid of my grub legacy error 22... and it didn't work. How can I fix my error 22? [00:05] ocean: Ideally, you should be able to install and remove the driver without a problem but this is not always the case since the two drivers conflict with each other [00:05] the driver which come as default is it good enough? [00:06] lotus, go into BIOS and reset all to default [00:06] /quit === nikolei is now known as alexlea [00:07] lotus: grub error 22 is No such partition did you run a sudo update-grub? [00:08] NixGeek: that is a legacy error, seems like the old grub is on /dev/hda and the new grub was put on /dev/hda1 ... that would be my guess [00:09] mixgeek I did not. Can I run that from a livecd? [00:09] lotus: install grub 2 from a live cd and then run sudo update-grub [00:10] howto prevent rsync from sending file again when deleted on remote side [00:10] ? === Hekos is now known as hekos [00:10] mixgeek so you say install grub2 from a livecd -- you mean load into the live interface, open a terminal, and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda ? [00:11] kthomas_vh_: the remote side is the copy, not the origional in that case ... delete the origional and the remote side will dissappear as well [00:12] GeekSquid, what I need is that the original is deleted if the remote is deleted [00:13] ?join #debian [00:14] how do i check if shorewall is installed? [00:14] kthomas_vh_: then the remote needs to be the source(origional) and be pushing back to the dest(you) [00:14] sudo apt-get cache shorewall ? === max3k is now known as Jaco2k [00:15] goddard: dpkg -l | grep shorewall [00:15] hello any one knwo linnet ? [00:15] milamber thats not it [00:15] unless I give the source ssh access to the remote, that's not going to happen as far as I can tell :) [00:15] hi, I'm trying to mount a partition with mount and I get the error "mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock" [00:15] goddard : aptitude search shorewall [00:16] if the is i next to it is installed [00:16] goddard: that is just another way [00:16] or gksudo synptic :> search > shorewall [00:16] ocmsRzr: Perhaps you want /dev/sda1? [00:16] so any oen knows linnet? [00:16] GeekSquid well the first way didnt work and the second did they arent actually the same [00:17] i need add this crap to /etc/init.d/ and cannto google good working script [00:17] GeekSquid one is to search installed and the other is to search whats out in the repos i believe [00:17] soreau: no /dev/sda1 doesn't exist, but when I do "fdisk -l" it lists it as /dev/sda1 [00:17] ocmsRzr: How many partitions are on the disk? [00:17] soreau: just the one ntfs partition === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [00:18] soreau: its an old windows disk [00:18] ocmsRzr: It should justwork on any recent version of ubuntu [00:18] goddard: dpkg -l shows what is installed , plus discription [00:18] well it isn't... I guess I'll continue googling =/ [00:19] My sound works in Amarok and Dragon Player, but doesn't work in Chrome, Konqueror, or Teamspeak. Teamspeak lists all available audio devices, but none seem to work... [00:19] GeekSquid and aptitude search looks whats in the repos correct? [00:19] ocmsRzr: Maybe you need to boot windows on it and see if it needs fsck or whatever windows calls theirs [00:19] ocmsRzr: get rescuecd linux [00:19] soreau: chkdisk [00:19] or install "testdisk" [00:19] veovis_muaddib: erm, right [00:19] if testdisk dont find it nothing will === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [00:22] goddard: correct [00:23] goddard: actually the apt-cache is what it is searching, not directly from the repo [00:24] actually not really [00:24] I want something that can let me overlay multiple flash videos streams from different sites across my screen [00:27] hi [00:27] can someone take a look at this: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/129625/1/ubuntu?h=56e470#/ [00:27] i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 and no matter what I do I get a screen like this [00:28] Matrix! [00:29] someone has also problem with the sleep mode? [00:29] timHx, have u tried it with just 1 monitor hooked up? [00:29] i have 10.04 x86-64 on it [00:29] i dont trust an image from dropbox, why not put it on imgur or something. [00:29] trojan_spike: no, I was thinking about that when coming to ask for help but waved it off [00:29] 32 bit 10.10 works fine === Blaze is now known as Guest80902 [00:30] timHx: that would be a graphics card issue, and probably a result of the 64bit version not being as developed [00:30] and 11.04 alpha 1 works fine (can't remember which I installed) [00:30] Is anyone here good with iptables that could take a look over my config? [00:30] timHx, kk,, so not monitors.. [00:30] someone can help with suspend problems? [00:30] GeekSquid: I thought so too but can't find a lot of information [00:30] looking for information about the loss of conduits in evolution in 10.10 [00:31] i get grub instead of the graphical boot menu [00:31] so should I just stick to the 32bit version? that's kind of annoying [00:31] suspend problems... need help... last call... or I will loose faith in linux... [00:32] al0211, don't lose faith in linux [00:32] suspend doesn't work... [00:32] it's basilar === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [00:33] bye bye [00:34] i should have listened to the mac fanboy... that shit just works [00:34] GeekSquid, 2-way sync is not possible via rsync natively (according to FAQ); it wouldn't help to initiate from the copy side, because you still wouldn't have a way to know what had been copied previously [00:35] I tried Evolution irc and they told me 2.32 gnome-pilot has them, but that I should register a request with developers about them. Not knowing how to do that I thought I would try here. Loss of conduits in gnome-pilot to sync calendar, memos, etc. is a problem for me. [00:35] guys [00:35] im close now.. [00:35] man, al0211 was really patient and nice [00:35] i got ssmtp pointing to my MX subdomain [00:36] kthomas_vh_: two-way sync workaround, each machine makes a copy when ever the folder changes, and you make changes to the copied folder which pushes back to the other copy which updates your copy [00:36] but when i try to connect i get error Connection Refused in /var/log/mail.log [00:36] lol [00:36] i have yet not specified Auth_name and so on, because i don't know what to put there [00:36] does anybody heeaaah know why movie player doesnt play avi files [00:36] NixGeek: Wait until he get a Mac then he find he have to pay every time he want something. [00:37] kthomas_vh_: you laugh, it isn't all that uncomon [00:37] so my question is: how can i add users for my smtp server? [00:37] it makes a number of wrong assumptions about environment; it's not robust L) [00:37] *:) [00:38] i have ubuntu in a virtualbox on windows, windows sees my new hard drive, ubuntu doesnt.....what am i missing [00:38] kthomas_vh_: consider SVN [00:38] * kthomas_vh considers unison [00:38] MrUnagi: Have you set up a share with virtualbox? [00:38] hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... and Gnome sometimes display the themes correctly (i.e. taskbar are themed, etc), but sometimes it doesnt.... has anyone experienced this? [00:38] veovis_muaddib: like a network share? [00:38] MrUnagi: It works like that but it's a virtualbox only thing [00:38] and that would be "consider git" :) [00:39] Mr_NoName, Virtualbox has to be set to show IOI hardware,, [00:39] MrUnagi: Install the guest utilities or whatever they're called in Ubuntu [00:39] as in, "there's no such thing as CVS done right, because CVS cannot be done right" [00:39] MrUnagi: And then in the settings choose a shared directory [00:40] hi, listen umm i upgraded my ubuntu by uninstalling it and then installing it using 10 GB this time. i was updating the system and also installing lastpass into firefox; when it said restart firefox i hit restart and then firefox closed and it never restarted again. then the software update manager was installing the firefox updates, and it said it needs to restart and if i don't restart it i could experience problems. well it never d [00:40] MrUnagi: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15868 <--- Good tutorial that's not just me rambling from memory [00:41] how come movie player doesnt play avi files [00:41] someone go here please :D [00:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/550046/ [00:41] tom866, thats not a serious problem,, just restart F-fox,, failing that,, just reboot [00:41] veovis_muaddib: can i format the drive if is a shared folder? [00:43] MrUnagi: Can you format the drive from Ubuntu... I doubt it, because I don't remember how it works with linux guests [00:43] no i cant see the drive [00:43] MrUnagi: Usually Windows is the guest :P === BedMan_ is now known as BedMan [00:45] Still looking for some input on getting conduits into gnome-pilot for calendar, memos, etc. on a 64-bit machine with 10.10 [00:45] what do you recommend for a fileserver, serving media-files (no important potos, docs, etc..); raid 5 or 6? [00:45] dorbin: To what Operating Systems? [00:45] ubuntu [00:45] server [00:45] hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... and Gnome sometimes display the themes correctly (i.e. taskbar are themed, etc), but sometimes it doesnt.... has anyone experienced this? [00:45] i can't install ubuntu :( it says I have installed Ubuntu but I can't find it anywhere [00:45] anyone know of a arin lookup application available in the repos? [00:45] Yeah, what would it be sharing to dorbin === devn_ is now known as devn [00:46] linux [00:46] hey. can someone tell me the command line on how to unintall a program and get rid of all its dependencies too? I want to get rid of Amarok off my Ubuntu install, and all the KDE stuff that came with it [00:46] Hey how can I do a mass chmod as root? [00:46] squ1d_: DONT! [00:46] HowardTheDuck: # apt-get remove amarok && apt-get autoremove [00:47] apt-get purge amarok [00:47] did someone goto my pastebin? :) [00:47] I did that once squ1d_, had to do a complete reinstall [00:47] which one do i use? [00:47] HowardTheDuck: or sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok [00:47] HowardTheDuck: use what NixGeek said [00:47] or set ownership of a set of files, as I basically added files to my computer via samba and they belong to no one and I cant add or edit these files. [00:47] i thought --purge just got rid of user files and settings? i want to get rid of dependent files for KDE [00:48] veovis_muaddib: the fileserver would be sharing to linux based OS (ubuntu, XBMCLive, Android) [00:48] squ1d_: go to the directory where you dumped the files, then do 'sudo chmod 777 *' [00:48] HowardTheDuck: --puge purges the program from the system, dependencies, setting, etc. [00:48] then everyone will have access to the files (not just root) [00:48] i got ssmtp pointing to my MX subdomain [00:48] but when i try to connect i get error Connection Refused in /var/log/mail.log [00:48] i have yet not specified Auth_name and so on, because i don't know what to put there [00:49] tom866, open a terminal and type firefox >enter< [00:49] dorbin: Probably would be best to use NFS then. [00:49] its a **** load of directories and mp3 files in my music folder [00:49] so my question is: how can i add users for my smtp server? [00:49] NixGeek: ahh okay thanks a lot! [00:49] ok [00:49] tom866, whats the error if any ? [00:49] dorbin: Not sure how Android does with NFS, but I'm pretty sure XBMC handles it well [00:49] Still looking for info on how to get conduits back in gnome-pilot for ubuntu 10.10 [00:49] And of course ubuntu does [00:49] HowardTheDuck: your welcome, glad to help [00:49] veovis_muaddib: so, do you recommend raid 5 or 6? ..and why not ext-filesystem? [00:49] none, all i was wondering was if like it may have messed up the firefox installation [00:50] squ1d_: then go to the parent directory and do 'sudo chmod -R 777 *' [00:50] nah [00:50] not if it opens [00:51] j2daosh: you think he should make his mp3s executable? [00:51] HowardTheDuck: you might also want to do a sudo apt-get autoremove to make sure to get rid of dependecies [00:51] how can i upgrade to 11.04? [00:51] ubuntu1010, if I may direct a question, do you know anything about conduits in gnome-pilot for 1010 on a 64-bit machine? [00:51] also the ubuntu software center, when i maximise it, it seems a bit laggy [00:51] j2daosh, chmod: missing operand after `777' [00:51] but other applications are fine [00:51] lol sitting here on this irc and just read the chat teaches me a lot of new stuff about ubuntu :) [00:51] stew: i suppose not, but he just wants to be able to get at them and that's quick way to do it [00:52] NixGeek: ahh okay will do [00:52] tom866: it's just the software center, It is a bit laggy. It probably needs to be recoded [00:52] j2daosh: he wants to let other people modify his mp3s? [00:52] ah ok thanks all :D [00:52] wow autoremove is freeing 36 megs [00:52] Hi, my new background is LIGHT and my icon text is LIGHT. Can I make it DARK? [00:53] stew: he copied files over from a different system and he doesn't have access to them. he wanted to change the files owner to root but chmod would be just as easy [00:53] hello people. I am trying to download an MP3 file but every time i click it to download it just opens a new page and plays the music [00:53] whats the page ? [00:54] Lantchips, that's because you are smarter than I am. Mostly it just washes over me. (smarter means knows more, in this case :) [00:54] Hi, my new background is LIGHT and my icon text is LIGHT. Can I make it DARK? (gnome desktop, Ub 10.04) [00:54] j2daosh: yeah, but why give o+w? [00:54] squ1d_: sudo chmod 777 * [00:54] anyone have experience with downloading mp3 files...ubuntu seems not to like them [00:54] I'm out guys [00:54] j2daosh: why!?! [00:54] leomast247: Right Click >> save target as [00:54] NixGeek: Thanks again, appreciate your help man [00:54] leomast247, use a firefox add-on,, 'search download',, there are some very good ones,, down-load-them-all,, to name one [00:54] Tripelb or that I don't know anything and everything is new to me :) haha [00:55] squ1d_: you pretty much never want 777, btw [00:55] ok ill look into it [00:55] thats j2daosh, I forgot the as trick [00:55] hi all [00:55] leomast247 tried using wget ? [00:55] ahh nvm :) [00:55] or nevermind make it 'sudo chmod -R 666 *' [00:55] Lantchips, can you help my problem. I want my desktop icon-text to be dark, not light. [00:55] or 644, or 600, or whatever it is you want to make them [00:55] ill try both and get back to u guys [00:55] squ1d_: you might want +r, but probably not 666 or 777 [00:56] I need some help on getting conduits back into gnome-pilot for 1010 on a 64bit machine [00:57] stew: dont you need execute to traverse a directory? [00:57] Does anyone here have some experience with recovering grub2 and software RAID? [00:57] j2daosh: yes, but you don't need o+w [00:58] can any of those be found in synaptic package manager? [00:58] j2daosh: and mp3s don't need to be +x to listen to them [00:58] synaptic only shows 2.17 and I am told I need 2.32 [00:58] and I'm not sure I've ever seen something that needs 777 (and not 1777) [00:58] tripelb did u read the message ? [00:59] leomast247: save as is just a default firefox things, and the download addons can be found on addons.mozilla.org [00:59] in gnome, from the applications launch menu, how can i start an app with the equivalent of sudo? [00:59] stew: my entire perl scripts directory is 777 [00:59] Nixgeek, when i try to download them however it just plays them in firefox [01:00] how can i know the mac address of any ip -not just mine- ?

[01:00] leomast247: go to the link you clicked on to make it play, right click, and click save link as [01:00] how can I upgrade my hardy to current??? [01:00] squ1d_: what do you mean? [01:00] squ1d_: do you need to allow other users to access your home directory? === Lantchips is now known as Lantchips_afk [01:01] yep, dont know what user will be making the change so i just had to 777 it [01:01] No === Lantchips_afk is now known as Lantchips_afkzzz [01:01] j2daosh: you can add users to a group [01:01] But I need to have full access [01:01] !upgrade | plaidhat [01:01] plaidhat: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:01] squ1d_: 700 [01:01] Looking for help with conduits in gnome-pilot on 10.10 and the absence of memo, calendar, etc. conduits [01:02] ubuntu virus >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvEF0zwTx-c [01:02] now I cant read/write stew_ [01:02] I'm getting this error: Failed Upgrade tool signature ...

[01:11] i want to test my router forward from wan to lan. can somebody netcat me on udp 55555 and send a "hello" or something equal?

[01:15] lolcat: I was planning on using apache, mysql and php [01:15] plaidhat: it should be fine. if it's a server you might want to leave it at lucid as it's a LTS release. I personally use lucid still and have no inclanation to upgrade yet. [01:15] qwebirc40302: this is it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30709 [01:15] pr0ph3t, how did you change it before [01:15] Danny78: nginx =D [01:15] NixGeek: cool, cool, it's going well so far [01:15] Danny78: apt-get install and then configure it manually [01:16] nit-wit, some scripts I think [01:16] thanks GeekSquid [01:16] NixGeek: as you can probably tell I've been lax about updating :/ which always concerns me esp w/ security [01:16] lolcat: is this gentle on newbs? [01:17] I need a way to download the current stable Debian and install from USB thumb drive, i have no other writable media, help needed, thanks in advance. [01:17] Danny78: You'll learn a lot [01:17] nit-wit, it all worked, the spash screens changed, but at login I could not do much apart from the debian escape keys, and could not go into tty [01:17] pr0ph3t, sounds like something not to mess with to be honest, especially with a not exact remembrance of what you did [01:17] plaidhat: ubuntu doesn't really have security problems, so you were probably fine. Lucid will be supported for 3 years, so by the time lucid support is over, your hardware will be obsolete [01:17] NixGeek: on top of that, updating a production machine is always scary to me :/ [01:17] lolcat: is it at least more straight-forward than LAMP? [01:17] guys can any one help me to restore grub with a lice cd. after an updating the ubuntu 10.10 i have lost the grub and computer says no operating system on boot up [01:17] pr0ph3t, it is just the startup [01:17] !fixgrub | ocean [01:17] ocean: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [01:18] pr0ph3t, your choice though in the end I wouldn't mess with it due to all the changes happening [01:18] plaidhat: I do some web programming and testing, so I have apache and other servers on my desktop and I did a completely clean install and restored my setting with no problem, so an upgrade from within ubuntu should be really easy and safe [01:18] nit-wit, I am passionate about being able to personalise everything in my ubuntu installation [01:18] lolcat: any suggestions for good PHP program? [01:18] i just updated ubuntu 10.10 and now no OS on boot up. [01:19] good php program?

[01:20] NixGeek, can I ask if you have any knowledge of gnome-pilot conduits, in 1010 [01:20] ocean, what happened to grub [01:20] NixGeek: When I was a young teen I used to answer questions on IRC all day long... now I'm engaged and working full time so any time I get on IRC is fleeting and looking for quick answers :/ [01:20] so usplash has been replaced by plymouth? [01:21] i don know.i updated the ubuntu 10 10 .when i restarted it says no OS found [01:21] ocean, also tab you nick response if you can so we know who your talking to.:) [01:21] revtds: I'm still using lucid, so no idea, sorry [01:21] should I upgrade to 11.04 [01:21] ? [01:21] ok, I'm completely new to Gnome.. how do I put a terminal link on my desktop? [01:21] You guys are nice [01:21] how can i tab the response? [01:21] lolcat: not unless you're prepared to deal w/ a lot of problems [01:21] on U10.10, is it possible to properly hibernate and wakeup from hibernation? [01:21] ocean, updated or upgraded [01:21] ocean: type first few letters of their name, and hit tab. [01:21] update [01:21] ocean: he means you should write the nick of the person you are answering to [01:21] Danny78: go insto applications, find terminal, and drag it to the desktop [01:21] Thanks, NixGeek. At least I know someone heard me. I have been on for 20 minutes without a response. [01:21] KM0201: does vlc do ramleaks in 11.04 [01:21] oneliner, ok i get that thanks [01:22] lolcat: if you're wanting to upgrade to 11.04, just for VLC.. i would not do it.. 11.04 is very early in alpha 1, and it's got a lot of issues.. [01:22] ocean, best way to see the whole setup is with this script run the the generated file pastebinned http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [01:22] ocean: for trying to fix grub you can try this,.. its a bit long but very complete http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [01:22] revtds: I had seen most of your messages, but had no idea, if I could help I would, but I can't. mabey someone will get on later that can help you [01:23] (8:22:32 PM) Tabarnaco: hey guys since you're irc nerds does anybody know how to fix the black blank screen i get when trying to play a full screen game in flash on linux [01:23] lolcat: I'm running into exact same problem in phpmyadmin as with syscp-- configuration fails. I don't suppose anyone can walk me through a command-line config of hpmyadmin? [01:23] nerds dont play games, they code them [01:23] NixGeek, thanks again. I was told developers dropped it and don't plan to put them back in and I am trying to find out if there is a way to do it. I have never compiled, so I am a little lost. [01:23] maybe you can code me a solution :> [01:24] personally I'm not a nerd, just a poser [01:24] Danny78: command line? put the files in your webservers document root and then write in the password/username [01:24] Tabarnaco: you have the source for flash? [01:24] revtds: for compiling, have a look here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [01:24] Danny78: would you like to try xampp? simpler all rounder [01:24] nope [01:24] Tabarnaco: its going to be much harder then [01:24] it's ok [01:24] oneliner: for now, maybe so [01:24] you can just reverse engineer it [01:24] while i sit back and wait [01:24] oneliner, thanks. do i have to re install the whole ubuntu [01:25] not legally [01:25] Danny78: get it at http://www.apachefriends.org [01:25] ocean: no, simply follow the instructions provided [01:26] i have a second hard drive and System Monitor registers the second hard drive along with its free space but i can't find the actual hard drive to access it in any way other than system monitor. How can I access my secondary hard drive (both are SATA) and why would it display in system monitor but nowhere else? [01:26] Danny78: the installation is straight forward, just sudo the command in step two altering the path of the archive to point to your download [01:26] plaidhat: how's the update going? [01:26] oneliner: I already have mysql installed, should I uninstall before installing xampp? [01:26] Just checking in again, looking for help with gnome-pilot conduits in 1010 on a 64bit machine [01:26] soapcontainer: where did you mount the second drive? [01:27] Danny78: yes, clean install is best [01:27] NixGeek: still going... it's asked a few questions (via [n]curses?) about init.d scripts and I just said "OK" [01:27] oneliner, it says about a seperate boot. could u explain me that pls [01:27] I mounted it directly above/below the other hard drive (i don't remember which was which i built this comp like 4 years ago). [01:27] This is my first experience with Gnome and it's waaaay fater on this old box that KDE [01:28] soapcontainer: nope...start here....open a terminal and type 'man mount' [01:28] alright [01:28] ocean: thats in case your boot partition is in a diferent drive, my guess is you could assume no, your boot is in the same drive as your file sistem [01:28] hello everybody [01:28] Danny78: it should be, gnome has alot less bling [01:28] should there be a profile for named in apparmour? ubuntu 10.10 ? ddns udpates from dhcp to bind are getting blocked by apparmour [01:29] oh so literally i just need to mount the hard drive, similar to how a flash drive gets mounted? makes sense I guess [01:29] soapcontainer: right. And if you want it done automatically at bootup, add a line to /etc/fstab [01:30] thanks thOr this will help a lot [01:30] oneliner, i have got ubuntu and win 7 on the same hard disk on diffrent partitions. i want to put the grub onto MBR. so whats my case. sorry to ask u this simple Q [01:30] can anyone help me on how to run startup at textmode i mean i want it to be the default one [01:30] exit [01:30] plaidhat: "Okay" is normally the good choice for something like that. [01:30] th0r, i mean, lol [01:30] ocean, run the script I posted without it we are just flailing around [01:30] I'll be right back... need to get xampp and probably will be asking questions because I tried it once before and had trouble... brb [01:30] rl 3 [01:30] can anyone help me on how to run ubuntu startup at textmode i mean i want it to be the default on [01:31] tr1pl3x, manual boot [01:31] i want it to be the default one [01:31] How do I upgrade?

[01:31] tr1pl3x: normally you set the default run level to be non-gui, but I don't think ubuntu supports that run level [01:32] oneliner: ideally, and for convenience and security, where should I put my web site files? [01:32] i also thinkso but im trying to boot it up in textmode [01:32] ocean: once you chroot run -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure grup-pc [01:32] tr1pl3x, do you want a manual boot your description is a bit confusing [01:32] NixGeek: yeah, I'm not running screen and am too lazy to make another ssh conn [01:32] nope not manual boot [01:32] oneliner: or does XAMPP require it be in a certain place? [01:32] normally if we are starting up ubuntu, it will load the gdm em i ryt? [01:32] No sensible instructions to get 11.04 on that page [01:33] so i am trying to get the vertical scroll to work on my setup. seems to be an issue with this particular model, but it had worked at one point. [01:33] i want it to load in textmode no gdm, and if iwant it to boot in gdm i will just issue the startx command [01:33] Danny78: once you have xampp up and running your site files go in /opt/lampp/htdocs [01:33] lolcat^: 11.04 is only in alpha 1 [01:33] http://techgurulive.com/2008/09/18/how-to-change-linux-runlevels/ | tr1pl3x [01:33] it's an alps touchpad and i even did a kernel patch to get it recognized as something other than a ps/2 mouse. but the scroll still doesn't work.

[01:53] or ther eis web based ultra light life cd with firewall/server distro [01:53] ocean remember to to do the grub install with the info you got from sudo fdisk -l , look for the entry that says linux, [01:53] gimme sec i find it out for u [01:53] !apt-proxy | linux_direction I think this is what you want [01:53] linux_direction I think this is what you want: apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [01:53] linux_direction: yeah, a machine that old, you're gonna have to keep it small/light.. aptosid it's pretty slick... it's based on Debian Unstable.. but it's pretty solid... i'm assuming this old PC isn't your only machine [01:53] hey guys thanks for your ideas and stuff. [01:53] im a little slow at all this. [01:53] why not use vbox [01:53] Anyone know what I need to do to get /dev/dsp or /dev/adsp to show up so programs that use OSS can use sound? [01:54] Ambrose: "padsp " or "aoss " [01:55] Jordan_U: Thx will try that [01:55] linux_direction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnGarde_Secure_Linux try this one [01:55] ubottu: port vga view [01:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === webdev is now known as Guest81370 [01:55] Ambrose: You're welcome.

[01:55] ubottu: port view [01:55] hey Jordan_U paying forward the grub help :) [01:55] oneliner, it has given me the boot menu now. but windows is missing, what should i do [01:55] !br | novato_br [01:55] novato_br: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:55] linux_direction: so yes u need debian + change repos to ubuntu [01:56] JackOfHearts: I appreciate your enthusiasm for debian and it is in fact a great distro but this is #ubuntu, we support Ubuntu and we encourage users to use Ubuntu. Please stop suggesting the use of other distros. [01:56] Okay. thanks people for your help soo far. some of the things youve said have been over my head. [01:56] hello everyone [01:56] ocean try to see if you can boot into ubuntu first [01:56] but i think you all understand what im aking and trying to accomplish. [01:57] IdleOne: and?? he asked how to make home repo for his ubuntu on P2 machine.. do u known ubuntu who works on p2 machine? [01:57] IdleOne: if u dont knwo STFU [01:57] u retard [01:57] oneliner, yes ubuntu has booted up [01:57] ok [01:57] im running lucid and everytime i connect the energy cable when my battery is over my netbook shuts down [01:58] IdleOne: I have had enough, how about you? [01:58] JackOfHearts: I already told you about our language rules and calling anybody a retard is very bad idea. Please watch your language [01:58] im going prvt. Be Right Back [01:58] IdleOne: i will when u stop act like litlle kid : omg this is ubuntu channel dotn speak words"debian"gentoo"slack [01:59] ocean, you could run reconfigure for grub, that could find the win os === tifflor_ is now known as tifflor === nikolei is now known as alexlea [01:59] ocean: following? [02:00] oneliner, thanks it has picked windows now, but it is showing two kernal numbers on the boot menu thats all [02:01] oneliner, do i have to remove the other kernal, if yes how can i do that [02:01] yeah, though as much [02:01] no [02:01] but you could [02:01] one is a safefail and the other is a memory test [02:01] i think acpi is crashing my laptop. if it is plugged in, it runs fine. if i unplug it... blam... crash within minutes. [02:02] so, better not, for now [02:02] who is op here? [02:03] marcusdavidus: /msg chanserv help access [02:03] marcusdavidus: Something we can help you with aside from that? :-) [02:03] anyone have any suggestions? i'm running maverick netbook setup. it's a laptop so i'd like acpi features unless i can change to something else. also i'm having issue finding anything weird in the logs... is there a place i should specifically look? [02:03] corey yes [02:03] corey i need to known who to report for abusing bstick [02:03] bstick? [02:03] ban stick [02:03] #ubuntu-ops is likely your best bet. [02:04] keith-: you could double check the power saving feature and prolly prevent sleep mode, disk spin down, etc [02:04] see if it lasts longer before freezing [02:05] oneliner: thanks. just did that and we will see. on a related note: how big does a swap need to be for suspend? [02:05] where is my cgi bin in ubuntu [02:06] swap should be 150% installed ram === ss_ is now known as pLr [02:06] well, thats a personal like [02:07] oneliner: with todays ram, thats a bit overboard [02:07] KATE [02:07] goddard: /usr/lib/cgi-bin [02:07] yeah, but with todays disks, it aint that bad :) === bubba is now known as Guest85597 [02:08] so if i have 3 gigs of ram 4 gigs of swap isn't enough? [02:08] oneliner: you do have a point there.... [02:08] keith-, what're you doing that you need 4 gb of swap? [02:08] keith-: that should be fine [02:08] that sounds like you're trying to kill your hard drive [02:08] celthunder: suspend [02:09] keith-: it should be, your machine aint using all the ram when going on suspend so its unlikely thats the cause [02:09] oneliner: ok. well i just want that working too. i haven't even gotten to that point yet. first i need it to work on battery heh. [02:09] guyz , is there a screen resolution emulator avaialble for ubuntu ? [02:09] unplugging now. let's see if i crash [02:10] when you say crash,.. can you reboot without power jack? [02:10] no [02:10] erm, considered a dead baterry as the cause? [02:10] Jordan_U: I'm giving up on ALSA, converting to OSS now to see if that will fix it since starting vmware up with aoss or padsp didn't work [02:11] Ambrose: vmware supports ALSA. [02:11] vmware server? [02:11] Ambrose: If I recall correctly, yes. [02:11] does anybody know a screen resolution emulator for ubuntu ? [02:11] VMware Server didn't detect any of the sound devices in /dev/snd/ [02:12] Ambrose: Try asking in ##vmware. [02:13] And it's my understanding that forcing the vm guest (via editing the .vmx) to use /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p only worked until another process tried to access the sound device [02:13] Jordan_U: Ok thanks, we'll see is OSS fixes this and if not will see in #vmware [02:13] hello [02:13] hello [02:13] oneliner: so when i say crash... everything freezes (inc. mouse and keyboard), then the screen goes black or purple and i can't restart or anything. i have to hard reboot. [02:13] does any one knows how to install internet explorer on ubuntu 10.10? [02:13] which is what just happened. and i have discovered by accident that it occurs when i get on battery power [02:14] haha [02:14] After you use "sudo gedit" for instance, what can you type in terminal to get back to bash (i guess thats where it goes?) [02:14] salvadorfl: yes, you can install "crossover office" and then download internet explorer from the internet [02:14] imagine87: First as a separate issue you should not use sudo with GUI applications, instead you should use gkduso. [02:15] im running lucid and everytime i connect the energy cable when my battery is over my netbook shuts down [02:15] so i gotta restart it [02:15] ;invite squ1d_ [02:15] but i installed from playon linux and my html files doesn't load [02:15] imagine87: Second, if you want to be able to use the terminal again after starting an application you should start it with "command &", for instance "gksudo gedit &". [02:15] can anyone provide help for downloading a ipw2200 driver to 10.10 - I'm brand new [02:16] I'm in here Ryu_Kurisu thanks [02:16] does crossover suport html files? [02:16] hello can someone helo me please? I cannot get ubuntu 10.04 to detect my iphone 4 [02:16] Jordan_U: That's also know as starting a program in background :) [02:16] i mean internet explorer installed from crossover suport html files? [02:16] Jordan_U: thanks, works perfect [02:16] yes salvadorfl [02:17] ok [02:17] tanks [02:17] imagine87: You're welcome. [02:17] hi, can someone tell me how i can run screen without a terminal? eg, i want to press F2 and run something such that i end up with a running detached screen session [02:18] salvadorfl: Why would you need that? Ubuntu got Firefox by default....which should handle html files no prob :) [02:18] a crontab for apt-get update and apt-get upgrade -- good or whack? [02:18] witless: what do you mean? [02:18] witless: As in detatch the screen session from your terminal? [02:18] harleen: look here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-ios-4-iphone-os-to-sync-with-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html [02:18] jerkface03: You would still need to insert your password :P [02:18] I'm having trouble with my TTYs (Ctrl + Alt+F 2-6) going to a blank screen.. f7 gets me back to the GUI but I have no idea how to go about troubleshooting this [02:19] Ryu_Kurisu: but... there must be a way around that! [02:19] hello can someone helo me please? I cannot get ubuntu 10.04 to detect my iphone 4 [02:19] harleen: buy an android [02:19] Unless you read it in from a file...which might not be the smartest thing to do...storing password in ordinary files :D [02:19] RoDiMuS-X: Be nice, it's in the coc [02:19] RoDiMuS-X: be reasonable and try to help please [02:20] dru5k1: Ambrose: actually what i want to do is automatically start a detached screen session from /etc/init.d/if-up.d/ whenever a network interface comes up [02:20] what if I added in the crontab for user root? thhen I wouldn't need to put in my password [02:20] NixGeek: Agreed :P [02:20] I was being nice [02:20] witless: that's great [02:20] I am updating to 11.04 and now unity disseapered, is that normal? [02:20] harleen: there are iDevice apps available in the software utility [02:20] is that doable? [02:20] lolcat^: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04. [02:21] Jordan_U: Nobody answers [02:21] If you are running root that might work jerkface03, however that's even worse then storing your password in a file :P [02:21] Ryu_Kurisu, couldn't jerkface03 make a special user for the crontab and only have it have premissions in needed areas and store the password in a file [02:21] lolcat^: That doesn't change the fact that this channel only supports stable releases. [02:21] in theory [02:21] jerkface03: What's it for, server maintenance? [02:21] RoDiMuS-X: I didn't say you weren't being nice, I said you weren't being reasonable (he paid alot for hat phone and if he's got it, he's not going to buy an android) or helpful (you did nothing to help him) [02:22] Jordan_U: Ok, I just upgraded to 10.04 and now my unity disseapered [02:22] What to do? [02:22] lolcat^: Lying isn't appreciated either. [02:22] Ryu_Kurisu: more or less, just want to keep everything up to date automatically [02:22] NixGeek: I helped him realize his mistake [02:22] jerkface03: what if the upgrade breaks your ability to login and fix whatever the upgrade broke? [02:22] Jordan_U: I simply misstyped it [02:22] lolcat^ roll "back" to 10.10 ;) [02:22] Jordan_U: We've got ubuntu+1? Awesomo....learned something again :) [02:23] RoDiMuS-X: okay, I'll give you that one, he should of bought an android, but you didn't help with his direct problem [02:23] NixGeek: I did not help him on the software side no [02:24] jerkface03: there are packages that do this for you btw, like cron-apt and apticron, but they default to the safe configuration of update and notify you if you have stuff to upgrade [02:24] stew: That'll work, which one should I use? cron-apt or apticron? [02:24] yeah [02:25] use one of those [02:25] Would you recommend one over the other? [02:25] no [02:25] aha found the problem. it has to do with power management and wireless. there is an open bug report. making a blank power man file for wireless in /etc fixed the issue [02:25] jerkface03: Is it for a desktop you regularly shutdown/boot up? [02:25] No [02:25] Server. [02:25] although I'm guessing that this will give me issue if i try to suspend huh? === squ1d_ is now known as CB_Laptop [02:26] jerkface03: if you don't have console, you really don't want unattended upgrades. relying on ssh definately being started after an unattended upgrade is even more risky [02:26] what's the easiest way to install ipw2200 driver for a beginner? === CB_Laptop is now known as CensoredBiscuit_ [02:26] hello i needo some help [02:27] keith-: great, try&tell :) [02:27] !ask | therealpelana [02:27] therealpelana: 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. :-) === CensoredBiscuit_ is now known as CensoredBis-lapt [02:27] oneliner: if i disable powersaving on wireless and pm-utils can't do anything to it, will that make suspend hang when i try to start it back up from suspend? [02:28] and touching that file seems to work. no lockup and it's usually pretty instant. [02:28] keith-: i wouldnt know, but i doubt there s harm in trying [02:28] im running lucid lynx and everytime my battery is over and i connect my netbook to the energy, this shuts down and i have to restart [02:28] therealpelana: when you say your battery is "over" what do you mean? when it is low? [02:29] any takers on advice for a first time driver install (ipw2200)... laptop's not recognizing wireless controller on 10.10 [02:29] any suggestions? [02:29] yes when is low and i have to connect my netbook to the energy [02:29] and viceversa === CensoredBiscuit is now known as CB_Desktop [02:30] when my batt is full and i do disconnect my energy cable my netbook shuts down [02:30] sp2000: does your computer show the card at all? lspci says you have a 2200?

I am trying the http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-ios-4-iphone-os-to-sync-with-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html === CensoredBis-lapt is now known as CensoredBiscuit [02:31] Keith: HP specs show it and it worked in XP [02:31] updated from 9.04 to 9.10 and 5.1 stereo sounds like crap now(a lot of static) [02:31] hi, I was here earlier about a bad superblock... I fixed it by switching to a different box. Now, I need help mounting a drive as a samba network share. I don't know how to use smb mount. I'm working from the rescuecd live environment, but I have smbmount [02:31] Hai CensoredBiscuit :) [02:31] sp2000: then you have bigger problems than drivers... [02:32] Hello Ryu_Kurisu [02:32] sp2000: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1618231 there is also this. [02:33] ok. i'm going to do something risky and suspend to ram.... wish me luck. if that works then only my vertical scroll isn't working and i can live without that [02:33] well there is several problems another one is my systyme has froze up on me about 3 times since the update [02:33] I have just got to ask, how do you use the IRSeekBot? I was looking on the ubuntu irc page about bots and saw it [02:33] keith: thanks I'll check out the forum [02:33] why does my computer freeze when transfering music from an sd card? It always freezes after about 50 or so mb [02:34] sp2000: here is another fix http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/80014-intel-wireless-problems.html [02:34] taha! everything works. i'm in a good mood. [02:34] steiner: Does the copying stop or does the entire GUI freeze (can't even move the mouse)? [02:34] got an nvidia driver issue w 10.10 -- is this the place to ask ? [02:34] another problem is I can't click on a link in here. It just turns red [02:34] webutr: Yes. [02:35] i have installed libimobiledevice and fuse i cannot get ubuntu to show iphone icon when i plug in my iphone to the computer. I have tried the http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-ios-4-iphone-os-to-sync-with-rhythmbox-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html [02:35] how do I fix the static issue first?? [02:35] i do not see the icon for iphone when my iphone is plugged in [02:35] any help? [02:36] harleen: maybe a silly question but, are you sure your iphone is ios4? [02:36] ok newbee with a question... I have Ubuntu 10.10 on a bootable thumb drive. I am trying to install on a desktop that connects to the internet using a usb wireless adapter. When I boot from the thumb drive I can get the wireless to work by installing the "windows wireless drivers" from the software center. The problem is when I install Ubuntu to the hard drive. Ubuntu does not include the drivers in its default install. I know that they a [02:36] re on the thumb drive because I can install and use them when booted to the thumb drive. How do I find the drivers on the thumb drive and install them? [02:36] online yes it is os 4.2 [02:36] harleen: did you see in the comments that someone corrected him and said to add a couple other lines to the sources file? [02:36] is it possible to install natty into my /home partition? [02:36] jordan_u: entire gui freezes [02:36] !crosspost | YankeesFan [02:36] YankeesFan: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [02:36] keith: no [02:36] sry [02:37] YankeesFan: also, please neep Natty discussion in #ubuntu+1 [02:37] keith-: which other lines? [02:37] !sysrq | steiner [02:37] steiner: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [02:38] harleen: read the first comment. although a bunch of those comments say that iphone 4 isn't working for them and that 4.1 doesn't work. [02:38] what are you talking about? [02:38] ok newbee with a question... I have Ubuntu 10.10 on a bootable thumb drive.

How do I find the drivers on the thumb drive and install them? [02:38] problem after updating from 9.04 to 9.10. 1. static issue with sound system 2. system froze on me 3 times and the only way to unlock the freeze I had to reboot 3. [02:38] steiner: That doesn't solve the problem, but it's at least better than pulling the plug untill this gets properly fixed. When the GUI freezes have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal? (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back) [02:39] Can you speak Chinese?? [02:39] !cn | dasheng [02:39] dasheng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:39] Jordan_u: no i havent, what would i do if i could?

[02:39] marine1: try this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade [02:39] harleen: have you thought of using Banshee rather than Rhythmbox [02:40] mrgalerien: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:40] ActionParsnip, done [02:40] how i can make sudo not ask for pass on apt-get commands ? [02:40] mrgalerien: could be a video driver issue?

Just knowing if you could get to a terminal or not would give more information about how bad the crash is. Have you noticed the caps lock blinking when the crash happens? [02:43] ActionParsnip: thanks. did that and rebooted - ng [02:43] webutr: you may need to tweak the file some then, if the file isn't good the driver doesn't load [02:43] hey all.. quick question .. if i compile a new kernel but not "the ubuntu way" or w/e, what kind of breaking of stuff can i expect to experience? [02:44] webutr: you can regain the desktop by changing the driver line from nvidia to nouveau or nv [02:44] rhoyerboat, probably, none. [02:44] rhoyerboat: there is no "ubuntu way" to compile a kernel, theres only "the way" [02:44] ok newbee with a question... I have Ubuntu 10.10 on a bootable thumb drive.

[02:44] ty for answers uz/AP [02:44] ActionParsnip: Actually there is a Debian/Ubuntu way that involves creating a proper .deb package.

[02:50] with a* [02:50] Ambrose: does it occuur everytime?

[02:52] keith-: r00t4rd3d: /host is Wubi specific. [02:52] keith-, did you dual boot install or wubi install ? [02:52] aeon-ltd: I created a new VM with same source on a different system a few days back and didn't notice this issue though, so it might be caused by unetbootin/USB install source [02:52] greyhat: check out that link anyway, it does physics [02:52] need help reconfiguring sound after upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 plus system froze on me 3 times [02:52] r00t4rd3d: i dual booted. oh and i am not an idiot either.

[02:57] shane4ubuntu it can be kind of tricky since x.org is deep in the windows manager but you could toss the ppa and see what happens if you use the older version of it. I quite like what the X-Swat team is doing though. I use it. [02:57] shane4ubuntu: yeah your right [02:57] You using 260 Nvidia drivers? [02:57] syn3rgy: how would I go about downgrading versions? [02:57] shane4ubuntu: after i couldn't get anyymore updates i went to 9.10 [02:58] syn3rgy: I have the GT9500 or 9600 [02:58] shane4ubuntu: not to mention the ext3 hasn't changed to ext4 [02:58] Can someone help me figure out how the file for a controller ( like a gravis controller ) can be configured in /dev/input/ to use it? [02:58] marine1:ext3 to ext4 isn't the prob, you can run fine on ext3, what concerns me are the lockups, have you rebooted? [02:59] shane4ubuntu: yes 3 times and some times i get an error saying something about firefox3.0 [02:59] To be on the safe side you could just toss the ppa and then do an upgrade like normal. Then a disk-janitor [02:59] How do you stop the default wireless manager from automatically connecting? [02:59] syn3rgy: yes, but those packages don't upgrade [03:00] You really don't want to mess up your x.org [03:00] shane4ubuntu: plus my system froze on me 3 times already [03:00] marine1: hmm, I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm on the verge of a re-install myself. [03:00] whats wrong with x-swat? === daniel__ is now known as inside0ut [03:00] shane4ubuntu: i went the updat manager way thinking it was the best idea [03:01] greyhat: remove everything from ... Rt-click on nm-applet in panel edit connections, wireless tab, delete everything there so it won't automatically connect [03:01] shane4ubuntu: i also d/l the iso file and burned it to the disk [03:01] Your using 10.10 I take it? [03:01] syn3rgy: I installed kubuntu-desktop and wanted to upgrade to the latest kde, and it is a serious mess, appears that x-swat is conflicting with kde latest [03:01] syn3rgy: me, yep. 10.10 [03:01] When I was using debugfs it returns permission denied while opening filesystem [03:02] marine1: hmm, upgrades can be difficult, it is best before upgrading to remove all extra software that you installed before upgrading [03:02] shane4ubuntu: plus my /etc/fstab/ file is empty does that mean anything?? [03:02] shane4ubuntu: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ... delete the ppa and reload ... then sudo apt-get autoremove [03:02] lol that will really mess stuff up. You don't want to leave metacity with the x-swat I have seen. I tried fvwm and .... fudged up [03:02] marine1: yes, that isn't good, [03:02] GeekSquid: I did that, and it didn't autoremove. :) [03:03] Hey, anyone know how to get a linux OR windows client to access a Mac OS X SMB share? [03:03] how may I solve it? [03:03] shane4ubuntu: what now? [03:03] I like Ubuntu but it seems a little blotted at times...well Gnome is at least. [03:03] 0.0 === rafael_ is now known as pokerface === gustavo is now known as ghs [03:03] marine1: not sure, probably best to do a clean install [03:04] shane4ubuntu: another thing is i cant click on a link inside the chat area [03:04] shane4ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade should clear things out [03:04] syn3rgy: well, actually what I have is a conflict of ppa's [03:04] GeekSquid: the problem is the app that was in the ppa was newer and therefore won't be caught by the upgrade [03:04] would like to be able to use x when I want ie. startx and whatever I have in xinit will kick in. Darn gdm is really in your face [03:05] !boot | syn3rgy [03:05] syn3rgy: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [03:05] Yup thats what I did :) [03:06] anybody here [03:06] <{C}ronos> does anyone know why file transfers take so long in ubuntu? [03:06] GeekSquid: I have a classic case of ppa conflict, that is an inherant risk of using ppa's that I took, I guess a clean install is about the only way I know to fix it [03:06] shane4ubuntu: what is the best way to do a clean install after i installed already via update manager [03:06] Thing is that I use Pyrit a lot for CUDA cracking (4 x GTX480) and a windows manager really slows things down. [03:07] <{C}ronos> I only get about 1.5MB/s at best most of the time [03:07] marine1: do you have /home on a separate partition? [03:07] Like wipe the disks clean? [03:07] shane4ubuntu: this is a desktop install? [03:07] shane4ubuntu: /home/robert [03:07] shane4ubuntu: how do i check [03:08] GeekSquid: yep, with server setup after [03:08] marine1: you would have set it up that way when you originally installed [03:08] GeekSquid: I have cleared the networks set to automatically connect multiple times, but every time I connect to a network it amends the list with its SSID. [03:08] Ever since upgrading to 10.10 my webcam is unresponsive and sluggish. What could cause this? [03:08] marine1 backup all your data, and when you re-install, make sure you put /home on a separate partition [03:08] I use the alternative iso for my servers since I have a RAID system on them. [03:08] shane4ubuntu: yes but is thera way to check it [03:08] shane4ubuntu: *way [03:09] But disk-janitor is not that ultra bad. [03:09] heya! Any of you got any knowledge to ubuntu and apple TV? [03:09] that wont wipe your disks though [03:09] marine1 sudo fdisk -l in the terminal then mount and compare them. [03:09] shane4ubuntu: goto synaptic, bottom left click Origin, then find the ppa, then click on each of the installed packages, then in package menu force version to the ubuntu version [03:09] shane4ubuntu: is there a specific way to back up everything? [03:09] marine1 actually just mount would do it [03:10] If my gravis game contorller works on some application, does that mean I do not need to apt-get install or anythign like this http://linuxgamingtoday.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/install-and-use-usb-based-gamepads-in-ubuntu/ [03:10] *? [03:10] *oh applications [03:10] Clonezilla is nice for a backup to another disk [03:11] If your using a strip raid though your screwed. [03:11] Or just back up your home dir [03:11] would there be any difference in performance or other ways with running ubuntu 8.04 vs 10.10 on the apple TV? I'm installing 8.04 atm, but got a feeling its sort of "outdated" [03:11] shane4ubuntu: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [03:11] /dev/sda1 * 1 18662 149902483+ 83 Linux [03:11] /dev/sda2 18663 19457 6385837+ 5 Extended [03:11] /dev/sda5 18663 19457 6385806 82 Linux swap / Solaris [03:11] GeekSquid: sweet! I didn't know I could do that! I was tinkering in the origin section, but didn't think to click on Package, thanks a bundle, I'm going to try that.

Was hoping there is a better solution. [03:15] marine1, well, it should stop the lockups, best bet is to boot off the liveCD and see how it works for you. [03:15] shane4ubuntu: see how the livecd works?? [03:15] syn3rgy is there any reason why i can't swap the hardy netboot img with the maveric? [03:16] marine1 right make sure the sound works, [03:16] shane4ubuntu: then that will tell me that a clean install is the way to go [03:16] marine1 also before doing that I'm sure someone knows how to remove the sound config files in your home directory and perhaps that would work too [03:17] marine1: however if you are doing clean install, personally I would install 10.10 or 10.04 minimal [03:17] shane4ubuntu: the sound config files could be the issue also? [03:17] marine1 I think that 10.04 is a LTS? I may be mistaken about that. [03:17] marine1 could be because it was on a upgrade [03:18] shane4ubuntu: that was one of the reasons i didn't go beyond 9.04 i don't like the direction ubuntu is going [03:19] shane4ubuntu: what do i do to be able to click on a link inside the chat area [03:19] marine1 not sure there, [03:19] shane4ubuntu: because whe i do it just turns colors and nothing happens [03:20] shane4ubuntu: what are you runiing [03:20] shane4ubuntu: running [03:20] marine1 pidgin [03:20] shane4ubuntu: no i mean os [03:21] marine1 10.10 [03:21] shane4ubuntu: i have that one also [03:21] shane4ubuntu: isn't 9.10 lts?? [03:21] nice improvments have taken place, what don't you like about the direction? [03:21] shane4ubuntu: the gui and programs [03:22] hi my iphone is not connecting to ubuntu can anyone help?? i plug in my iphone and i do not nothing happens [03:22] shane4ubuntu: a host of itmes [03:22] i have a tftp server running on startup. i can't seem to find it in rcconf. Can anyone show me how to disable it on startup [03:22] marine1: No, it is not. 8.04 and 10.04 are LTS. [03:22] Jordan_U: good enough [03:22] marine1 than find a boat that suits your style and jump on it. There are a bunch of Linux flavors out there. [03:23] I have a folder on my server that I would like to be completely public. That is, I want files and subfolders to always have 777 permissions or be treated as such. Only way I can think to do it is with a cron job that does a recursive chmod a few times per hour, but there are obvious issues with that. Is there a simpler way? [03:23] shane4ubuntu: i like ubuntu and i'm pretty comfortable with it [03:23] shane4ubuntu: just this sound issues and system freezing is an issue right now [03:24] marine1 If I had a dime for every time I left ubuntu and came back, I could have bought all the Windows versions. :) [03:24] shane4ubuntu: i haven't quit yet [03:24] shane4ubuntu: so save everything then reformat entire drive [03:24] marine1 upgrade to the latest 10.04 if you want lts and then forget about it for a while, if you don't want to mess with upgrades [03:25] marine1: yes, make sure you partition your hdd with /home on a separate partition [03:25] undecim: how are the files and subfolders being created? [03:25] marine1: how big is your harddrive [03:25] shane4ubuntu: yes sir that is what I did with 9.04 [03:25] shane 160gb [03:25] shane4ubuntu: 160GB [03:25] stew: Various methods. FTP, SFTP, programs run from SSH.... [03:26] marine1: you need about 10-15GB for / depending on what you like to install, then around 4GB for swap roughly depends on ram and the rest 140GB for your /home [03:26] marine1 it will make re-install's 10x easier in the future for you. [03:26] i got a couple of questions [03:26] stew: So it's not like I can just change an FTP setting or something like that [03:26] undecim: you want to make those processes have a umask of 000. but are you sure you want 777 and not 1777 or something less? you want users to be able to modify/delete other users files? [03:26] im new to anything linux [03:27] id probably do 30gig for / [03:27] can anyone help me out? [03:27] stew: Yes. I want the folder completely community property. [03:27] undecim: the idea of an incoming folder has its advantages, where people can upload, then they become un-writable in another folder... another option is SVN which would allow you to track changes [03:27] having trouble with language selector- stuck on russian [03:27] marine1 my /home is on a separate partition and I can install every day of the week and it doesn't touch my data, I don't of course, but makes life easy. [03:27] shane4ubuntu: i don't need ram i have 4GIGS of it [03:27] hello all,a friend sent me home with an asus eeepc to install ubuntu 10.04, words of wisdom? [03:28] shane4ubuntu: roger that [03:28] marine1 but linux always uses swap space, [03:28] GeekSquid: I don't need to track changes... Security is no issue, I just want everyone to have total access to the folder [03:28] undecim: why can't you change an ftp setting? [03:28] marine1 if you want to go light on swap make it 2GB [03:28] joni eepc runs great on ubuntu [03:28] stew: Because there are a plethora of other ways that the files will be changed or accessed. [03:28] undecim: accessable from just linux machines or the whole gambit? windows/linux/mac? [03:29] shinyhat, no major hardware issues? this will be for a child to use, updates breaking compiled drivers etc, could be a problem [03:29] Hello all. I have a desktop running Ubuntu 10.10, it keeps giving me i/o errors while accessing the hard drive. I have 2 hard drives in there. Could the issue be something else other than a hard drive? [03:29] shane4ubuntu: beileve or not but my swap space never gets used even when I run top [03:29] Is this the right channel for fixing a server setup from ubuntu desktop? [03:29] GeekSquid: I've already got Samba setup, but that's only one of the ways it will be accessed. I need the folder to always have 777 for subfolders and files [03:29] Hey I need help: I've got my Linux parition after an old EXT3 partition that's totally empty on my server, and I need to expand my Linux partition to take up the whole hard drive basically... Is there any way that I can do this without turning off the server? [03:29] anadon: yes [03:29] undecim: perhaps look at extended acls, you can't do what you want otherwise [03:29] marine1 may be so, but I think swap is a requirement when partitioning manually, I could be wrong though [03:30] marine1, you can run without swap as long as you never spill over your ram capacity. I usually run in way the safe zone with 4gb of ram, but i back it up with 4 of swap just in case. [03:30] joni, i haven't had much personal experience, but i have heard plenty of great reports [03:30] shane4ubuntu: yeah I will do it anyway [03:30] its not a requirement marine1 shane4ubuntu [03:30] shane4ubuntu: let me try to reboot into livecd and try the sound there [03:30] joni: really??? It used to be, but things may have changed. [03:30] Nach0z: you can't alter a partition that's in use [03:31] Nach0z: Yes, but it's pretty tricky, will probably make your server unavailable while you're doing it anyway, and is more dangerous than just doing it with a live cd [03:31] marine1 ok, always try before you buy. :) [03:31] shane4ubuntu, i tried it back in 8.04 just cause i wanted to know for sure :) [03:31] Ok, I followed this guide to set up apache (http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-10.10-maverick/) and messed up somewhere. I only get the default page [03:31] joni: I'm shocked, but I'm old school. :) [03:31] why does language support crash? stuck in russian :( [03:31] shane4ubuntu: i originally did but i went the update manager route [03:31] undecim : unavailable to what? Like I just don't want to go through and restart everything that i haven't even looked at in two months... and I can only get on there via SSH. [03:31] anadon: and http://localhost says what? [03:32] can anyone speak of a recent installment of 10.04 on asus eeepc? recent experience plz [03:32] joni: thanks [03:32] shane4ubuntu: thanks bro [03:32] can't establish a connection [03:32] Any reason why it would take a long time to bring down a network interface? It takes about 30+ seconds to ifdown eth1 on my machine. [03:32] marine1 I think 9.04 was pulseaudio and I think they later dumped it, and it could have been 9.10 and that could be causing the issue, but I can't remember [03:33] marine1 no prob [03:33] Guys i need some serious help [03:33] Like no joke [03:33] shane4ubuntu: yeah that's right [03:33] joni, you could always take a live usb into best buy and see for yourself ;) [03:33] shinyhat, its creating image now :) [03:33] Nach0z: Definitely sounds like you should just restart to resize it... You'll end up having to restart everything anyways doing it the tricky way [03:33] shane4ubuntu: i researched all over launch pad for answers and that is what happened [03:33] GeekSquid: have you ever forced downgrade with synaptic like that? [03:34] shane4ubuntu: yes, did it work? [03:34] marine1 if that is the case then fixing that, there should be answers out there [03:34] shane4ubuntu: is there a way i can roll back into pulseaudio [03:34] Im getting an ugly error when i try and boot from livecd its about aufs not mounting to /root and no space left [03:34] GeekSquid: I'm burning an ISO to a disk Just in Case. :) so I haven't hit the apply button yet. [03:34] anadon: can't establish a connection????? what can't? what type of connection?? wtf.... [03:34] Im on ipod because nothing is working on computer [03:34] marine1 pulseaudio was bad in my opinion, I'm not sure [03:35] Anyone?

I want to install server so they will be supported for 5 years and they won't have to be touched after I leave. However, sometimes the researchers might want a remote desktop with vnc4server so I would have to install ubuntu-desktop. Will installing ubuntu-desktop on an Ubuntu server transform it into Ubuntu Desktop so that it [04:06] would only have 3 years of support? [04:06] stew: I can't find any way to do this with ACLs... Mask will let me set a limit on access, but I see no way to make sure it's impossible to limit access [04:07] Ganymede: the desktop related packages have 3 years support! [04:07] hi [04:07] GeekSquid: Adding ppa now. Will def lyk [04:07] bonjoyee, yeah but isn;t the OS still ubuntu_server? okay so the desktop part is the only part with limited support [04:07] bonjoyee, Meaning they won't receive security updates after 3 years after 10.04's release and will remain stale? Or that they will be altogether removed from the repositories? [04:08] setting up port forwarding to a internal server within a WAN ... step 1. establish static IP on the computer step 2. port forwarding .. and thats all there is to it right? [04:08] or rather bonjoyee with 3 instead of 5 years [04:08] I have an 6.06 box or something that I can't upgrade because certain things no longer exist in the repos... [04:08] i am new with ubuntu 10.10 I am experiencing authentication failed during my login with Empathy messaging. [04:08] Ganymede: you can run the desktop on the server version, with some limitations, sound, limited resolution, etc... you can after the 3 years still have access to an apt repository ... ubuntu kindly stil hosts old-releases.ubuntu.com [04:09] rifter: Ganymede: thats what I mean..only the server packages get updates for 5 years...the desktop oriented get 3 years [04:09] okay bonjoyee good to know [04:10] i am new with ubuntu 10.10 I am experiencing authentication failed during my login with Empathy messaging.

[04:14] yeah everything is working fine [04:14] cowslammer: you might need to get some packages installed from a working system and put them on a cd or file with http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [04:15] modem is billion connection is adls 2 [04:15] i have dual boot and windows is okay [04:15] its just ubuntu [04:15] i googled around and made sure ipv6 is disabled but still very slow [04:15] geeksquid sacarlson i have internet by eth0. ubuntu is not installed - I am running it with the liveCD. this is actually an xubuntu question as ubuntu prompted me to install it. i just need to find out the name of the module to install [04:15] ech_Phr34k: is the modem operating in bridge mode or pppoe mode? [04:16] hrm pppoe [04:16] cowslammer: run jockey-gtk [04:16] i think how do i confirm [04:16] Jordan_U: Yeah, following the same type of procedure, rename vmware-vmx to vmware-vmx.real and create a shell script to call padsp vmware-vmx-real, but it still didn't autodetect any sound cards [04:16] ech_Phr34k: on ubuntu do u have to establish a connection explicitly ..to the internet?

[04:18] cowslammer: if you already have the driver installed then just modprobe b43 or the legacy driver http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx [04:18] Guest19465: yes [04:18] Guest19465: that would be more suited for #ubuntu+1, regarding upgrading to Natty [04:18] its mainly firefox ie browsing it seems like its looking dns and times out and then finds it [04:18] ech_Phr34k: it could also be a dns or mtu issus.... [04:18] Guest19465: don't think is a good idea first upgrate to an alpha version and second upgrade using wubi [04:18] So it wont mess up?

[04:20] Guest19465: its not released and not ready, if you want an OS that works then stick with Maverick. If you want a bug ridden OS where you will be logging bugs to make the devs know about said bug and improve the OS, use natty [04:20] GeekSquid: what's a big database? [04:20] Josesordo: pine, twirssi, there's probably an Adobe Air thing for it, [04:20] ActionParsnip: DNS [04:21] GeekSquid: hardly, you just install dnsmasq, edit dnsmasq.conf so it listens locally then add 127.0.0.1 as the first dns..... how is that hard in any way? [04:21] ech_Phr34k: I think that might be a winbind probroblem [04:21] ech_Phr34k: if your modem has MTU set to 1500 , it may cause issues (im using adsl as well)..try changing that to 1460 or 1492 [04:21] ech_Phr34k: the 2nd link I gave shows how to tweak firefox so it sucks a little less [04:21] aha okay [04:21] GeekSquid: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing-on-ubuntu-machine.html [04:21] ActionParsnip, but what browser do u use [04:21] hi any one have idea about application launcher [04:22] ActionParsnip: Different story, I should try that [04:22] bonjoyee, i will have a look now thanks [04:22] well happy new year all of you [04:22] ls -la ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release [04:22] bhaskhar00666: try gnome-do [04:22] GeekSquid: it's not hard at all and makes DNS resolution take 0ms rather than 30ms for every name (once the service has learned the resolution) [04:22] h00k, but I want one with some notification icon and without using a browser [04:23] GeekSquid: this can make a massive difference and DNS precaching is default in chrome, firefox still doesnt do this so dns only takes place once a link is clicked [04:23] Jordan_U: Actually when my vmware-vmx looks like this /usr/bin/padsp exec /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx.real "$@" I can't even start my VM Guest, it throws a general error. If I just remove /usr/bin/padsp from the script it starts the vm guest just fine. [04:24] can we do it from application launcher it telling me child process error muzaihan: [04:24] GeekSquid: if you want to edit the dns servers in network manager, you then won't have to edit the text files named [04:24] Josesordo: yasst, qtwitt, choqok, yoono, air apps, a los of twitter apps out there, did you chec software centre¿ [04:25] but fore some reason just couldn't remember apps that uses gtk :S [04:26] bonjoyee, it seems my mtu is on automatic [04:26] i am having a problem with my wifi. ubuntu network mgr reports "device not ready" and doesn't see any networks, but another distro (puppy) sees it just fine and it works [04:26] ech_Phr34k: try 1460.. [04:26] ActionParsnip: I use google's DNS by default, but dns-cache seems like a good idea, until I think about how often I move things around in the datacenter setting ttl's really low is the only way I keep everything updated across networks [04:26] bonjoyee, will do thanks [04:26] cowslammer: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you can then copy the product line for the device and websearch for guides [04:27] ech_Phr34k: after u change the value..make sure u reboot the modem [04:27] GeekSquid: if a server is powered off, the cache is blanked. You can also restart the dnsmasq service to clear the cache [04:28] bonjoyee, i changed mtu on my nic card [04:28] or did u mean mtu on modem [04:28] ech_Phr34k: yes...on the modem...as thats your wan interface [04:29] ActionParsnip, strange;y, i used it for years without any problems, i don't know how to troubleshoot since it is apparently not a hardware problem.

[04:45] wow, this adobe flash plugin on chrome consume a lot of my CPU D: [04:46] lcd15000: is networking set to bridged or nat? default is typically nat.. change to bridged [04:46] Can you recommend me a good torrent client for ubuntu? please [04:46] hmm, hi there. could someone help me with url handlers? I am using KVirc and I want to open pages on google chrome, but the default value is not working. what should I put there? (example run firefox $0 but for chrome) [04:46] thanks [04:47] Josesordo: ubuntu ships with transmission by default [04:47] CharlieEchoTango: google-chrome %u [04:47] izinucs: i did change to bridged, it doesnt seem to be getting a dhcp address [04:48] ActionParsnip, ships with transmission?, pardon me but what that means?..sorry for my bad English understanding.. xD [04:48] Josesordo, transmission is fine [04:48] www.google.ca [test] [04:48] lcd15000: perhaps stop and start the networking in win7.. not sure there. [04:48] it's not working izinucs [04:49] should've i kept "run" or "$"? [04:49] i have tried that, still not catching dhcp [04:49] i installed blueman. Have blueman applet in taskbar. I can connect to my mobile phone via bluetooth, but blueman won't browse the phone. error: "couldn't parse incoming data" [04:49] Josesordo: a standard desktop install of ubuntu comes with transmission already installed [04:49] !info transmission | Josesordo [04:49] Josesordo: transmission (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.04-0ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB [04:49] So I don't know if anyone cares, but for the past several versions of ubuntu here's been a glitch with the desktop-switching dealy (windows key + e). The panels persist to all the "virtual" desktops, even the active applications which should only be shown on one [04:50] ActionParsnip, ah ok.. thank you :D [04:50] ActionParsnip, I will try it :D [04:50] Josesordo: it's under the internet section in the applications menu [04:51] ok izinucs it works now [04:51] how can I open it as a tab though? [04:51] (and thanks) [04:51] Amtrask: is there a bug logged? [04:51] no idea [04:51] ok then [04:51] :P [04:51] ActionParsnip, yeah, I found it.. thanks [04:51] ActionParsnip, the fix was a reboot (supposedly not necessary) [04:51] cowslammer: sometimes it is :) [04:52] ActionParsnip: Don't know, I don't even know which package that would concern [04:52] Josesordo: if you have an android phone, you can install transdroid and manage your torrents using that too, you will need to enable the web interface in transmission [04:52] Amtrask: that's a compiz thing [04:53] GeekSquid I'll check it otu [04:53] Amtrask: gnome-panel if it's the panel which is at fault. You could also log a bug yourself and it may get marked as a dulpicate [04:53] What IRC client are you using? [04:53] ActionParsnip, next ques: the speaker icon has disappeared from the top bar. any clues? [04:54] Kottonmouth: irssi through ssh and screen [04:54] @izinucs I'm usig irssi too, I was wondering if anyone else was. Something abut it is just sexii lol. [04:55] cowslammer: you need to readd the Indicator Applet 0.3.7 to the pannel, I deleted mine when I didn't want the email icon but the volume is connected [04:55] there's lots here using it. [04:56] Kottonmouth: i'm using it now as I'm at work, I usually use pidgin [04:56] sacarlson, that gets me a second mailbox icon but no speaker === The_rogue_smiler is now known as lap_dragon [04:57] cowslammer: bummer [04:57] cowslammer: http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/restore-missing-volume-button-to-system-tray-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-10-04/ [04:58] * lcd15000 is also using irssi === sixstring is now known as NickMangler [04:59] * NickMangler needs to speed up SQLite3 with Pysqlite2 in Django. [05:00] I'm pondering using an in-memory database, during the massive crunching process, then dumping it all back to disk. Am I insane? [05:01] Python's only weakness is its speed, or lack thereof, IMHO. Of course, I'm trying to optimize 30 seconds down to say, 3. So maybe I'm a little bit extreme. [05:01] NickMangler: sure, store it in /tmp and rsync it to disk when you are done. [05:01] hi, doesn anyone knwo how to fix this problem with the login keyring? [05:01] skpl: whats "the problem"? [05:01] rsync? You mean that /tmp is in-memory? [05:01] NickMangler: run: mount [05:01] * NickMangler goes to google that. [05:02] i keep getting a popup asking for the password to unlock my login keyring but it wont accept any of my passwords [05:02] ActionParsnip: that and i changed my password recently === jeff is now known as Guest86839 [05:02] Is anyone here familiar with VMWare products? [05:03] skpl: http://www.code-muse.com/blog/?p=53 [05:03] ActionParsnip: this is what it says: The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer. [05:03] !anyone | luvm [05:03] luvm: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:03] lucmove: you can also ask #vmware [05:03] Got blueman bluetooth file transfer to work..Had to enable file sharing and file transfer options in "local services" taskbar menu. :) [05:03] no help at all at #vmware! [05:03] NickMangler: the tmpfs ones are in RAM [05:04] lucmove: It happens, feel free to ask [05:04] Ive been told VMWare Server is end-of-lined and won't run on newer Linux installations. I have been advised to use VMPlayer. But it won't open my old virtual machine! [05:04] Are formats incompatible or something? [05:04] lucmove: then is a vmware issue, not ubuntu [05:05] ActionParsnip: well, yeah, so I asked if someone here is familiar with VMWare. Get it? [05:05] lucmove: VirtualBox should have some ability to handle the virtual disk image used by VMware. [05:05] lucmove: ya it's strictly vmware, but yes it does happen. Check http://forums.vmware.com [05:05] lucmove: yes I get it, it's offtopic here if it's not Ubuntu support. get it? [05:05] when im talking LOCAL PORT FORWARDING .. im pretty much clear to pick any port thats not being used for anything else [05:06] I was told to go ahead and mention my problem... [05:06] lucmove: well yes as yu gave no detail, so we were unsure of the topic [05:06] lucmove: he's just reminding us to stay on topic. Please. [05:06] lucmove: you may (but I doubt) get shelp or pointers in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:07] lucmove, you could convert the file to use in another product like qemu or virtualbox [05:07] that may or may not work.. [05:07] VirtualBox is unusable. Incredibly slow. [05:07] lucmove: when i upgraded from vmware 6 to vmware 7 all my old VM's would not work. i had to back up and reinstall them. [05:07] lucmove: depends on config [05:07] Should I have to add svn to xinetd, or is adding it to /etc/services enough for an svn server? [05:07] lucmove: virtualbox will open the old vm I believe [05:08] izinucs: maybe it will, but nothing happens after 5 minutes [05:08] ouch [05:08] it works in another computer, but still slooooooow... [05:08] lucmove: are you running opensource version or one from www.virtualbox.org? [05:08] gobbe: one from Adept Manager [05:09] lucmove, have you tried using kvm ? [05:09] ignarps: no, never heard of it [05:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/FAQ [05:09] it has all the information on how to use vmware images with KVM [05:11] ah, that's qemu. I tried qemu a few months ago, terribly slow too. [05:11] well qemu can be used with XEN and KVM [05:12] I run linux and windows vm's with qemu/kvm works very well [05:12] lucmove: We have no idea what you are running this on, so it's somewhat hard to tell why it's slow or what is considered slow. [05:13] Diamondcite: VMWare runs very well on this same machine. Not slow at all. [05:13] problem is, it's VMWare Server 1, it's old Ubuntu, I want to upgrade the whole box [05:13] esxi is free [05:13] What is vmware doing for this speed? Virtualization? 3D acceleration? 2D Acceleation? Multi-Threaded? [05:13] I will have to kiss VMWare Server 1 bye [05:14] How am I supposed to know what makes VMW Server faster?! [05:14] Diamondcite: i heard on multicore, vmware is smoother === NickMangler is now known as sixstring [05:15] lucmove, it also depends on your guest os [05:15] and how you set it up as well [05:15] Setting up ramdisk didn't seem to help my SQLite3 performance. I'm already wrapping everything in a big transaction. I've even tried some PRAGMA settings that help a lot. But the main bottleneck seems to be on INSERT. Is there an obvious no-no I should avoid? [05:17] Incidentally, I'm finding it's faster to use "LIKE" queries on big blobs of text than it is to break those blobs down into dependent records in another table. [05:17] hi [05:17] please suggest/guide me about --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550086/ === Guest96214 is now known as karthick87 [05:19] kaushal: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/pidgin-data_1%3a2.7.9-1ubuntu0+pidgin1.10.10_all.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [05:20] nope. [05:20] Remove pidgin-facebookchat package, update pidgin, set up facebook chat using the built-in pidgin support instead of the plugin. [05:20] kaushal: can you also log a bug so the duplicated files get sorted, if you used a PPA, please inform the maintainer [05:20] ActionParsnip: Thanks [05:20] it worked [05:21] rww: ^ [05:21] kaushal: np :) [05:21] !wfm [05:21] 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/ [05:21] if you have to force it, you're doing it wrong. [05:22] rww: it's just a duplicated file in both packages, so it just needs forcing so it overwrites the file with the same file [05:22] I'm trying to get grub2 to chainload grub, but it's giving me an invalid signature error. What is wrong? [05:22] did sudo apt-get upgrade...lost the plymounth screen...got a ugly text screen now.....how do i get the plymounth boot screen back?? [05:23] ActionParsnip: I'm aware of the reason for it. 1) You don't need a plugin to use Facebook with Pidgin any more, and haven't for a while. 2) Accomodating broken packaging is not a good solution. [05:23] FloridaGuy: search the software centre for the plymouth theme and reinstall it [05:24] but hey, it's your computers, not mine. I'll be over here in the corner with my happy package management. [05:24] FloridaGuy: if you use proprietary drivers, you may need to make it use the fb driver [05:24] ok [05:24] rww: it's fine, when the package gets removed it'll remove the file as normal [05:24] Can anyone help me with grub2? [05:25] Exaile 0.3.2.0 has a "Library". What is the pathname of this "Library"?

But your message does not answer my question. -- My question related to the file hierarchy on my computer. [05:35] bullgard4: actually your question related to the library for Exaile and trism's relates to the directory dierarchy.. which in reality relate to each other since you set the directories exaile uses to create the library (virtual) [05:38] nit-wit, the last install was Ubuntu 10.10 [05:38] ishipapiter2: Ubuntu's grub2 should add entries for backtrack automatically. [05:39] Jordan_U: i can imagine ubuntu isn't too interested in what backtrack do or how their OS interacts [05:40] ishipapiter2, whats the desktop Ubuntu, is the os-prober installed it is supposed to be but it seems to be missing at times especially in Lubuntu. [05:40] nit-wit, I have backtrack installed in an encrypted partition, grub is not automatically seeing it. That is why im trying to chainload a separate grub already set to work to decrypt the partition. [05:41] ishipapiter2: If you're getting an error about an invalid signature then the partition you're chainloading does not contain grub (or any other bootloader). [05:41] ishipapiter2, I know a bit about this but not a encrypted partition and chainloading sorry. [05:42] nit-wit, thanks for your help tho [05:43] ishipapiter2: Can run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? === guampa is now known as guampa-off [05:43] ishipapiter2, no problem.:) [05:44] ishipapiter2, I would llok at Jordan_U's request for sure [05:44] *look [05:44] Jordan_U, I've tried chainloading 2 different partitions with grub files in both of them. [05:44] If I a vm on a second HDD will it run faster then having it on the same hard drive as the os [05:44] ishipapiter2: Where grub stores its files and where grub stores its boot sector can be completely different. [05:44] ishipapiter2: Sometimes even on different drives. [05:45] ishipapiter2: you can add or edit a 40_custom with something like menuentry "Grub 1 Bootloader" {; set root=(hd0,8); chainloader +1;} change ; to carige returns. as noted in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:45] birdman007: i'd imagine very slightly [05:45] <{C}ronos> didnt there used to be 3d windows in compiz?

[06:06] I popped in here to ask about Nautilus and Tracker. Been on the brainstorm since 2009, and I am interested about Tracker integration with Nautilus. [06:06] if compiz got disabled, is there a way to re-enable it through compiz-config-settings-manager instead of turning visual effects back on in prefrences > appearance which resets all your ccsm settings? [06:07] soreau: last line of output as in what? [06:07] xim_: Try adding compiz to startup. For some odd reason or another compiz got disabled on my machine, and thanks for bringing up configuration with CCSM, maybe it was disabled there. [06:07] leomast247: That is the complete command. Run it in your terminal and grab the last line [06:07] kk [06:08] soreau: at the end it says OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5955) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 NO-TCL DRI2 [06:09] after i ran that command and typed in password [06:09] izinucs, trism: I made a mistake. I used a wrong English term. The proper English term is "Collection". -- So I'd better ask: "Exaile 0.3.2.0 has a "Collection" tab. What is the pathname of this "Collection" tab? [06:09] xim_: Also, try backing up your settings in CCSM before you trudge on trying to re-enable compiz by changing the desktop effects settings. [06:09] I want more directorys to show up in my places menu how to? [06:09] leomast247: That means your drivers are working correctly. Is there some problem you are having? [06:10] Dribble: Favorite them? [06:10] soreau: i never got to tell you but i ended up upgrading to 10.10 and my graphics work good [06:10] how?

[06:12] in where [06:12] At which point, go into view > Side Pane [06:12] oh n/m [06:12] hi, guys i am using 10.10 ... i am really impressed with the gui effects of "Win+A", "Win+E" .. is there any section where i can look what other similar things are there .. i tried to google buy in vein .. [06:12] got it [06:13] a [06:13] leomast247: Run this to get the latest driver bits, then reboot: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:13] I'm using 10.10 and would like to install the b43 wireless drivers. I've followed the instructions to install b43-fwcutter but I do not have the option to select the driver in the 'additional drivers'menu. Anyone have experience with this? [06:13] samitdutta: do the dvgrab failed? [06:13] a [06:14] thanks [06:14] a1: can we help you somehow? [06:14] sacarlson can i chat in pvt with u? [06:14] where is the "right" place to put config files that don't belong in /etc. Specifically chef files. I suppose they could go in /etc.... [06:14] samitdutta: ok [06:15] but /var/.... seems better [06:15] kk [06:16] leomast247: If everything goes ok, glxinfo|grep renderer should report Gallium [06:16] so I always here about how linux is so great because you can freely modify it and change how it operates but I haven't been able to figure this out, I use bash and whatnot but this doesn't make changes to the system where do I start? [06:16] cschneid: /etc seems like the right place for configuration files; i'm thinking of the debian policies which say files in /etc will not be modified by package upgrades [06:17] Dribble: What do you want to change exactly? [06:17] Dribble: what do you want to achieve? [06:17] danblick: yeah, I'll just put them there. Just feels like.... dunno - they're the generators that MAKE the /etc files. [06:17] the behavior [06:17] Dribble: What behavior? [06:17] idk really just play with it in a safe enviorment [06:17] but meh, I was just wondering if I missed something obvious [06:17] i mean what can I change really [06:17] Dribble: i'd establish what you want to change first [06:17] Dribble: anything really [06:18] Dribble: most of it is defining what you want to do with your computer [06:18] Dribble: You need to be more specific about what you want to do [06:18] I'm using 10.10 and would like to install the b43 wireless drivers. I've followed the instructions to install b43-fwcutter but I do not have the option to select the driver in the 'additional drivers' menu. Anyone have experience with this? [06:18] Dribble: Anything, dependant on your commitment to changing a particular aspect. [06:18] I want to make a 3d desktop [06:18] web surfing is a very different task than web development which is a very different task from C coding. [06:18] cschneid: i see your point. fwiw, in the puppet world, that sort of file goes in /etc/puppet [06:18] by tweaking and changing, you can focus on exactly what you want [06:18] danblick: cool. That works. I love when somebody else makes decisions for me like that :) [06:18] or rather move in 3d on my desktop [06:18] Dribble: install compiz and get 3D accelleration running on your video card [06:18] to view files [06:18] /etc/chef/{configs} and /etc/chef/cookbooks/{the rules} [06:19] i do but it doesn't do what I want [06:19] can i use it to maybe do that [06:19] Dribble: Enable desktop effects in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects. Optionally install ccsm and simple-ccsm to customize compiz further [06:19] Dribble: That is something you would need to code yourself (or pay someone else to code). [06:20] Dribble: compiz gives a 3D desktop, you just need 3D accelleration. There are videos online to show what it can do :) [06:20] i think it would be a very large undertaking for one person [06:20] Dribble: It would be. [06:20] Jordan_U: ccsm makes them feel enough like a programmer ;) [06:21] ActionParsnip: dunno - jurassic park style 3d would be mostly useless, but just a few weekends worth of hack for somebody familiar w/ graphics I'd imagine? [06:21] Dribble: Stop drooling and get to work. :P [06:21] making it useful is another year or 3 [06:21] if 3DNA came to Ubuntu it'd be fun :) [06:21] lol [06:21] o [06:21] cschneid: whats jurrassic park style? [06:21] yeah to make it worth a damn [06:21] And oh, once you do have compiz working, there is also a neat plugin script on gnome-look.org to install addition plugins from a git repo. [06:22] ActionParsnip: ohh, they had some silly 3d gui. and the little girl was like "Ohh, this is unix. I know this!" [06:22] then, I think they were eaten or something [06:22] but I think i would be happy if I could get it to work on a very simple level at first then let other build on it [06:22] please help me to hacking with ubuntu... :( [06:22] how do i change my screen resolution in linux? I installed the ATI drivers for my screen card but I am not getting the best resolution like i got on Windows 7 [06:22] arch: You don't hack ubuntu. You compile things from source, and make changes to it. :P [06:23] Qestion: is there any way to show which file is actual copied by nautilus? Started a 280GB job, want to terminate that but want to be sure what are the last files copied.

[06:23] glitchd: Not if you dont ask [06:24] hello, i have installed 10.10 (although it says 11.04 in about) and am wondering why ubuntu moved the close/minimize/restore window decorators to the left of all windows now, instead of the old and pc traditional right? Is there a way to move them to the right as Id much prefer that... [06:24] owh..,how about hack someone pc ? anyone know?

Pastebin the output of xrandr from your terminal to ubuntu.pastebin.com [06:25] glitchd: Don't use debs that weren't designed for your system. Right now you have two debs that don't work together. It's likely that one of them is poorly packaged, and the other one is fine. [06:26] Dribble: You're asking questions that are far to broad to be answered specifically. [06:26] I'm trying to install 10.04 from a Minimal cd onto an EEE 1005PE, unfortunatly the ethernet card is detected. The wired and wireless work from a 10.04 LiveCD and the ethernet appears to be using the atl1c driver. But from console in Minimal "modprobe atl1c" returns "atl1c not found" so I'm assuming the driver is not included on the minimal cd? Do I have any options for loading a driver? The steps for manually installing the driver appear to be docu [06:26] mented on this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1197614 but rely on having "make" and other such build tools that aren't available on the minimal cd. Does the alternatecd (untesting if it has working network) have an install option for a "minimal" type environment or does it install ubuntu-desktop? [06:26] no i mean behavioral [06:26] soreau: ok, just installing xandr now [06:26] maco, Flannel, do u have any clue how to fix the error? [06:26] glitchd: Remove pidgin-facebookchat package, update pidgin, set up facebook chat using the built-in pidgin support instead of the plugin. [06:26] glitchd: use packages that arent broken [06:26] you know about command in terminal bro? [06:26] glitchd: such as: the official ubuntu packages from packages.ubuntu.com [06:26] sve you prolly need to install the third party drivers for your graphics card, Administration -> Additional Drivers [06:26] sve: No, xrandr [06:27] soreau, maco thx ill give it a try [06:27] Is there any logfile of what files copied by nautilus in an active copy job? [06:27] Flannel: its 2.7.9 which is whats in natty. someone tried to backport it to lucid and screwed up then distributed their broken debs [06:27] ZykoticK9: Save yourself the trouble, get an alternate CD. That way you can have a real system set up before having to debug networking and such. [06:27] bucky: i already did that [06:27] soreau: ahh ok my spelling [06:27] ZykoticK9: Oh, you asked that. [06:27] sve: Yes [06:27] Flannel, are there any choices from the altcd or just ubuntu desktop? [06:27] ZykoticK9: Yeah, the alternate CD is the minimal CD plus packages. [06:28] Flannel, thanks :) [06:28] ZykoticK9: Or to be more correct, the minimal CD is the alternateCD without packages. Both give you the opportunity to do all sorts of non-standard things [06:28] soreau: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550098/ [06:28] Flannel, i've fallen in love with minimal installs, but 10.04 is presenting an issue on this EEE (the 10.10 minimal works fine BTW) [06:29] I have a problem with gconf2. It appears that it's post-installation configure script is failing. Other applications are returning installation errors because gconf2 is a dependency. Could someone please help me? [06:29] ZykoticK9: according to: dpkg -S atl1c it's just in the linux-image--generic package [06:29] ZykoticK9: I'd log a bug [06:29] sve: It shows you have two screens both at 1280x768. What do you want them to be? [06:29] hi folks; i was trying to speed up my laptop so i ran bum and probably disabled some stuff i need. now when i boot into ubuntu 10.04; i can log in normally but i just see a white terminal at top left with no other UI. what should i do now? [06:29] the bigger resolution one is my lCD connected to my laptop [06:30] ActionParsnip, i don't think the minimal (especially without network) could even install from apt - i doubt it even has a repo installed - it just drops me to busybox as root. [06:30] I want to see what it looks like when running at max resolutin [06:30] ActionParsnip, ya no apt-get [06:30] ZykoticK9: after the install has finished? [06:30] :( [06:30] ActionParsnip, can't install minimal without network - catch22 situation [06:31] sve: Try amdcccle [06:31] ZykoticK9: you could be super sneaky and see if you can find the driver file and shove it in the right folder [06:31] ZykoticK9: or you can use ndiswrapper and use the windows driver for it [06:31] Flowbee: you're in a GNOME Failsafe session. Try changing your session at the bottom of the login screen. [06:31] ActionParsnip, driver is avaliable as sourcecode - no build tools at this point. [06:31] 2342 [06:31] amdcccle already running! [06:31] ActionParsnip, this is just the ethernet - i'm not even trying wireless [06:31] ZykoticK9: could add the alternate daily Lucid CD and use it to update ;) [06:32] I have an EC2 server running on AWS, small instance ubuntu 10.04 TLS (lucid). [06:32] I installed Apache Web server, initially on port 80. When trying to remotely access the server through a web browser it went well. After that I changed the apache server port to 8040, and I opened the port in the AWS security groups.. trying to connect it also succeeded. [06:32] Now, after those two trials, I tried to run sort of a web service also on port 8040 (after closing the apache server of course). The web service is the web ui of the heritrix crawler. Now, when trying to connect to the service localy (i tried "telnet localhost 8040") I am able to connect to the service. Now when I try to remotely connect I am failing no matter what I do.. I try to remotely... [06:32] ...connect from a web browser by doing: http://my.amazon.address:8040 [06:32] flDoug, i dont see the option for that at the bottom of login screen [06:32] I really tried almost every thing, I tried to add exceptions to the iptables, even cancel the iptables all together. I opened the ports for all IPs in the AWS dashboard.. but still nothing. And again just to emphasize, local connection go well, also remote connections to apache web server went well to the same port... What the hell am I missing?! [06:32] ActionParsnip, i'm downloading alternate as we speak - not the daily mind you. 10.10 minimal works fine, just a lucid issue really. [06:32] sve: In amdcccle, see if you can change the displays resolution [06:33] ActionParsnip, Flannel thanks for the input guys! [06:33] soreau, maco it wont let me remove the packages since it says i have a broken package, but when i try to repair the broken package, it just gives me another error [06:33] ZykoticK9: I'd grab the daily and use it as a repo. It will give you a source to nearly full upgrade and may help [06:33] i can't get 3d acceleration to work with a Radeon IGP 320m. i am using the open Radeon driver and had driconf make a default .drirc. I can't get any 3d screensavers or glxgears to work. it only comes as a black window, but it isn't throwing any errors. any ideas? do i need to use the closed drivers? [06:33] ActionParsnip, I'm amazed they even have dailys for lucid [06:34] omrico1: Is the 8040 connection connecting directly to the heritrix crawler? or is it through apache? [06:35] glitchd: try grabbing the one from packages.ubuntu.com, then dpkg -i --force-downgrade on that deb [06:35] flowbee: Hm... I don't know then. It should be there, though, labelled as "session".. [06:35] soreau: it shows the max resolution in the display properties i can change it to for my lcd is 1280x768 [06:35] flDoug, its not :( [06:36] ActionParsnip, found the alternate daily ubuntu install - cool thanks. [06:36] ZykoticK9: hope it flys [06:36] sve: In xrandr, it shows the max as 1680 x 1680 but your card can do at least 2048 if not 4096 or higher. You might need to set a Virtual line in xorg.conf to increase the max size [06:36] what happens is that the heritrix runs a jetix module on the port I specified [06:37] I then connect to the jetix on the port 8040... [06:37] soreau: ok thanks, let me look into that [06:37] ubuntu 10.04 login screen doesnt show any session options... then when i login i get a gnome failsafe session. i did mess with bum to speed up my laptop recently. this if the first time i restarted it. ideas on how to fix? [06:37] omrico1: Sounds like the heritrix/jetix server is binding itself to a local address [06:37] my laptop executes an immediate shutdown when i unplug it. i've checked the appropriate settings for power management. is this an indicator the batteries have died? [06:37] Flannel: isn't it bind itself to a port? [06:38] sve: Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [06:38] Flannel: is it possible to bind yourself to an address? [06:38] omrico1: It picks a port, but many programs also allow you to pick an IP (or range) that it'll talk to. People use it to make MySQL only talk to localhost, etc. [06:39] cowslammmer: Probably. [06:39] omrico1: I have no idea what heritrix or jetix are, so I can't help you track it down in that regard, but I [06:39] omrico1: I have no idea what heritrix or jetix are, so I can't help you track it down in that regard, but I'd look through your configuration for that and see if it's binding itself to something local [06:39] soreau: i just need to duck out for about two hours will continue with the trouble shooting when i get back. thanks for your help [06:40] Flannel: Ok, I will try that.. by the way, jetty is another jsp server (like apache for php).. thanks for your help.. [06:40] flowbee: you can always re-run bum and undo some of what you did. [06:40] good morning technicians [06:40] flDoug, is there a way to revert to the original bum settings? [06:41] flowbee: I, unfortunately, am not familiar with the bum program. I had to google it when you mentioned it. [06:41] Flannel: Do you have any idea how do I check whether a running program is binded to a specifc address? [06:42] omrico1: I suggest checking the config files [06:43] Flannel: There is nothing there.. moreover, they say in their site that the whole purpose of the web interface is to allow remote access.. [06:43] omrico1: "sudo netstat -lnp --inet" would show all listening ports, the addresses they're binded with, and the program involved. You could look through the output of that for your program. [06:44] rww: many thanks I will try that too.. [06:45] flowbee: do you remember what programs you disabled through bum? [06:46] omrico1, or you can act like a hacker , sudo apt-get install nmap , then sudo nmap -A -PN 127.0.0.1 [06:46] :D [06:46] flDoug, no :( [06:46] r00t4rd3d: does nmap show which interface/address a program is bound to? [06:46] r00trd3d: what exactly will it do? [06:46] interface no , port and service yes [06:47] omrico1, nmap is a port scanner [06:47] I cant Ping using Network Tolls but can ping from CLI.What to do? [06:48] omrico1, you never watch the movie Matrix ? [06:48] r00t4rd3d: I can see that the program I run does open port 8040, I can even telnet it locally ("telnet localhost 8040").. [06:49] flDoug, in /var/log/syslog i see: error: autolaunch error: x11 initialization failed [06:50] and I did watched Matrix, actually all the trilogy.. I wish I had neo by my side now.. [06:51] omrico1: neo is an actor [06:51] lol [06:51] :-) [06:52] his real name is not mr. anderson [06:52] I still wish I had him, the way he type his keyboard... [06:52] how do I ssh into ubuntu? [06:53] ssh user@ip-addr [06:53] chris_openbsd, thanks :) [06:53] ubuntu-newb: your welcome [06:54] ubuntu-newb: how I got ubuntu to let me ssh in: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [06:54] omrico1: is that the only port you can't connect to from wan to this system? how about ssh? does that work? [06:55] flowbee: I'm really sorry but I don't think I can help you out. [06:55] i think flight gear crashed and burned well it did crash anyways [06:55] flDoug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH [06:56] omrico1: can you ping the address from outside and see it from inside with wireshark? does your ip you are using match when compared to whatismyip.com? [06:56] this is what i get when netstat: [06:56] tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:8040 :::* LISTEN 752/java [06:56] hmm how do I know which domain I am on? [06:56] maybe this is the reason? [06:57] ubuntu-newb: in your home network? for an ssh server? to connect from outside? [06:57] ...locked my self out of sshd fuckk! [06:57] =( [06:58] gschwepp: Huh. That's strange. I had to actually install it. I was pretty mad that ubuntu didn't have it by default. [06:58] gschwepp, well home network [06:58] ttf can't do bitmap, period, correct? [06:58] gschwepp, my machine downstairs is ubuntu and I am installing ubuntu on my laptop but I cant see the other machine [06:59] flDoug: not everyone does need an ssh server on his ubuntu machine and you can get it fast. Dont think there is a need for it to set it default. [06:59] sacarlson: I don't know how to do what you say.. I am working on an Amazon EC2 server... [06:59] flDoug: The majority of users don't need a ssh server, and it's not really polite to have something that potentially dangerous just sitting there on everyone's machine [06:59] ubuntu-newb: can you ping your downstairs machine? in this case your "domain" is your up i think. [07:00] Flannel: I ran the netstat, this is what I get, [07:00] tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:8040 :::* LISTEN 752/java [07:00] Flannel: maybe this is the reason [07:00] gschwepp, ok I can ping the ip not the machine name [07:01] omrico1: Yeah, that's bound to localhost [07:01] ubuntu-newb: check network setup. did you even share folder? [07:01] Flannel: So you say I must change it within my program... [07:01] omrico1: That'd be the place to do so, yes. [07:01] gschwepp, well thats the issue I can connect no problem via putty on windows via ssh and I can also go through my network places but I am slowly learning [07:02] Flannel: thanks, I'll see how exactly I do that... [07:02] omrico1: I suppose if it's not in the config file already, consult the documentation for its configuration [07:02] omrico1: so that machine only listens on tcp6? no entry like tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [07:02] gschwepp, I am pretty sure that I dont have ssh at port 22 (which is part of my issue I think) [07:02] Flannel: right, I will check it out... Thanks... [07:02] Flannel: Ahh, yeah, true enough. I'm running a network behind a NAT firewall so I'm used to having all my computers pretty insecure within the LAN. [07:03] sacarlson: what does it mean tcp 6? [07:03] ubuntu-newb: install it google something like "set up homenetwork ubuntu" what ever :) [07:03] omrico1, you use blackice firewall ? [07:03] gschwepp, right :) [07:03] r00t4rd4d: on which machine? actually I believe on none of them... [07:04] gschwepp, ok found the network (its a windows share lol) [07:04] flDoug: :) switch wlan off ;) [07:04] ubuntu-newb: go ahead with your search. it is not that hard ;) [07:06] Hi!

However, changing WLAN channel from the router seems to fix the issue for a while (few hours). It always comes back, whichever channel I switch to. The network is otherwise just fine.

[07:13] Ileden: what says iwconfig? [07:14] sacarlson: I failed the IPv6 test, does it mean I will not be able to connect to the service since it is on tcp 6? [07:14] Ileden, you will need to reload the module/driver specifying any verbose that maybe available for it via modinfo. You will need to do it as super user for both unloading and loading of module/driver.

[07:15] morning [07:16] omrico1: well yes if it's true that it only listens on ipv6, that would be the case, but are you sure that it isn't listening on ipv4? you can look at the dig of the address to see if it returns an A or AAA [07:16] and i had to reinstall ubuntu again [07:16] is it a dual booter al32 [07:16] yeah [07:16] its dual boot [07:16] use the cd to repair grub [07:16] Ileden: why not :) pastbin it [07:16] :) [07:16] sacarlson: thanks a lot for your help..

[07:43] no more error mesages [07:43] gschwepp, i think its also cuz i replaced the xorg file with an 'auto configured' one... and that it doesnt have the right driver enabled [07:44] so go to your x11 config go to your device and write your driver in it:) [07:44] gschwepp, how do i find out the driver name that it is [07:44] gschwepp, i'm using the xserver-xorg-video-intel package [07:46] loxs, do you have apache , php5 installed ?

[07:59] r00t4rd3d, did that still running into x11 init message [08:00] omrico1: I still see tcp6 at start, there are websites that will do the tunnel for you if your not sure [08:00] gsp2009, the proprietary driver sure has much better performance and also a program that can configure displays etc. So it really is technologically much better [08:00] sacarlson: yes I know.. but I don't believe that this is the issue.. [08:00] loxs ok cool.. thanks for the info. [08:01] loxs, ok that worked [08:01] flowbee, did you stop gnome before you did that ? [08:01] sacarlson: maybe it has something to do with the iptables?

IF i allow ubuntu to make one partition during install.... everything works...but i am left with only one partiton and a swap and one extended both of 11 gigs [08:14] UBUxUBU, who are you addressing [08:14] rww, ok then why is it suggested all over the net? [08:14] flDoug1, try sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:14] then try installing something [08:14] do the install then carve upt ha partitions later [08:14] bazhang: When archive manager you are talking about?

[08:25] bazhang: ? is shorthand for "question", I guess >.> [08:25] i think there is confusion, i think cryptodira want ubuntu (boot and all) on a partition and a separate partition for files...like we all do. so the 1st choice is primary and mount point is / [08:25] but am i gonna run into the broadcom wireless driver issue? [08:25] bazhang: we are going to compile one for an ARM ... so i decided to compile one for my own ubuntu first ! :D [08:26] if so how can i circumvent that... bazhang [08:26] Jordan_U: that would be nice... with every thing on a single at the moment.... would i be able to separate those directories out?

[08:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/advanced-topics/C/index.html [08:35] thats for 10.04 but might give you some info you need [08:35] well it must be me. the link gives me a not found error.

[08:44] Jordan_U: hmm, let me try that [08:44] Jordan_U: but x86_64 should run 32-bit.. [08:44] saintd3v: That confusing "file not found" is the linker trying to load dynamic (32 bit) libraries that don't exist. [08:44] Jordan_U: ahh [08:44] Jordan_U: didn't even think of that, thanks [08:44] saintd3v: You're welcome. [08:45] so what was that all about?

[08:51] gschwepp: so, I can't see anything after reboot [08:51] lesshaste: #rhythmbox perhaps? [08:51] I just saw something on the screen regarding wpa suplicant [08:52] Gnea: sadly no [08:52] guys were i can found more information Ubuntu Amazon AMI [08:52] gschwepp: it hangs completele, exits gdm to console and stalls there [08:52] StaRetji: ok not good but ok. you can list your kernel modules with lsmod. but first of all habe a look into the Makefile. MAybe you are lucky and you can use sudo make uninstall. [08:52] lesshaste: what about the software's homepage? there isn't any info there on support forums? [08:52] gschwepp: ok, will do that now [08:53] StaRetji: :) ok if you are unsure you can pastebin the makefile if you want [08:53] gschwepp: lsmod: r8192se_pci 474272 0 [permanent] [08:53] room list [08:54] * Gnea looks at ScottyDelicious [08:54] StaRetji: id first of all try make uninstall.

[08:55] lesshaste: sounds like a good place to check out then [08:55] gschwepp: it seems that make uninstall works [08:55] yep [08:55] should I do lsmod again? [08:55] StaRetji: yeah go into installationfolder (where you did make && make install) and type 'sudo make uninstall' [08:56] gschwepp: I did that, it finished without error, but lsmod: r8192se_pci 474272 0 [permanent] [08:56] ? lol [08:57] gschwepp: rmmod r8192se_pci gives: ERROR: Removing 'r8192se_pci': Device or resource busy [08:57] gschwepp: should I reboot and check lsmod again? [08:57] can I reduce gnome-panel opacity without using solid color?? [08:57] StaRetji: rmmod r8192se_pci [08:58] gschwepp: I did that, got error that device is busy [08:58] StaRetji: :) you must shut down your wifi [08:58] StaRetji: ifconfig wlan0 down [08:58] Sound icon is missing on the panel, what should I do to restore it? [08:59] paris_: right click -> add to panel -> search for sound icon -> add it [08:59] gschwepp: well, no wifi button, it's foxconn netbox d425, so I've rebooted [08:59] where i can discuss about ubuntu amazon or UCE images - any idea - is it the right room?

[09:11] Which format is the best to fornmat ans usbflash? [09:12] francisco__: FAT or FAT32 is better choice if your drive is around 40 GB, since this FS will work across various platforms. [09:12] hello all, I'm a newbie trying to solve a tough problem. I'd like to install ubuntu on a laptop that can't boot from USB and has a broken CD-ROM. Is there a way to create a boot disk to load a virtual cdrom and boot from an iso image? [09:12] francisco__: sorry that was 4 GB, not 40.. ;-) [09:12] i'm running 10.10, where is the event.d folder? i seem to not have one in etc [09:13] geektribe Mine is 8gb [09:13] Entelin: sudo updatedb && locate event.d [09:13] works better with fat32? === xinli is now known as ubuntu [09:13] Gnea, i know where its supposed to be, /etc/event.d, my point is it doesnt exist [09:13] . [09:13] francisco__: you can take fat32 if you don't care about file permissions [09:14] francisco__: Than NTFS is better, though it is windows FS, but better if you're using your drive with multiple OS. [09:14] Entelin: my point is, run those commands and see if you get any output.

[09:16] no support for exct4 [09:16] of course not [09:16] francisco__: Since windows has no out-of-the-box support for extX series of FS or any other FS as well. [09:16] they won't give us silverlight, they don't need ext4 [09:16] is there a way to get ubuntu package to handle dependencies only to the base package version, eg: mypackage (= 0.1.1) [09:16] Is there a way to buy a laptop within no os [09:17] or with linux included?

[09:32] WindowEd: Than you're probably left with only option that's network boot, since the method I suggested requires Grub physically installed in the target machine, also, Wubi installation doesn't installs Grub. [09:32] i'm thinking of setting it to automatically reboot in case of a kernel panic, but i'd like to get to the bottom of this, and figure out what's causing it to crash... is there anything i can do to force it to log something when it crashes and maybe get a better idea next time?

Version 0.21.1-1.1 (maverick), package size 25 kB, installed size 208 kB [09:59] dmaxel: if its maverick..i believe so! [09:59] Gotcha. For some reason I still thought it was only Fedora [10:00] bonjoyee, I've tried iwlist scan and it says that none of my devices support scanning [10:01] Coolness: im not really familiar with wifi setup as i dont use it..but for a start could you paste the output of "sudo lspci -vk" on http://pastebin.com [10:02] bonjoyee, that output is HUGE [10:02] And it's another machine so i can't copypaste [10:03] But it does report a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g" [10:03] Coolness: ok then see the line that says about your wifi card..and see what the line "kernel driver in use" says [10:03] it says "in use: wl" [10:03] Coolness: install the package bcmwl-kernel-source [10:03] I did that, based on the broadcom support page [10:03] should work then. [10:03] no help rww [10:04] hrm [10:04] Also i think i screwed something up with the "jockey" command [10:04] hi anyone here using sound card ESS Maestro 3...?? I need some installation helps... [10:04] now it just says "lo, eth0, eth1" [10:05] Coolness: does "sudo ifconfig -a" report the wlan? [10:05] wait... [10:05] bonjoyee, no it doesnt [10:05] just ethernet [10:05] 2 ethernets [10:06] jrib: thanks a lot!! Learning time! :) thanks bonjoyee [10:06] Coolness: "sudo iwconfig" ? [10:07] says "eth1" is a IEEE 802.11a [10:07] What exactly are we looking for ? [10:07] since my update to 10.04 my computer can wether be pinged nor ssh-ed from outside. even with firewall disable. how could this happen? [10:07] access point non associated... [10:08] How can I decrypt my home folder? [10:08] Coolness: i really feel that the wifi card is detected and working...someone here surely knows how to set it up from terminal [10:08] bonjoyee, Yeah same since it worked fine in regular Ubuntu [10:09] volviq: what do you mean by firewall disabled? Linux has a default firewall IPTABLES which is always ON. You can just unblock port for Incoming connections. [10:09] thanks for your help bonjoyee [10:09] Coolness: good luck:) === taka is now known as Guest82276 [10:10] this might not be ubuntu specific but anyhow. I have configured openssh on my server and disabled the root user from being able to make ssh in to the server. And my problem is that I got this user ino which is able to become root user with the su command. wonder how I could disable him too from making ssh in to the server? [10:10] thanks [10:10] Coolness: you tried iwconfig? [10:10] channel [10:10] h-dee, yes it reports the wlan card as "eth1" [10:10] ttiicc: 'man sshd_config', look into the AllowUsers and DenyUsers commands [10:11] Coolness: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/12/18/configure-wireless-on-the-command-line/ Just in case you din't. I'm catching up late. [10:11] Coolness: I'm using Gnome, and mine's eth1 too... [10:11] ttiicc: and if you do change your sshd_config file, run sudo service ssh restart to apply changes [10:12] volviq: whats the output of "sudo ufw status" [10:12] h-dee, Okay... But why does iwlist scan tell me it doesnt support scanning? [10:12] ? [10:12] Coolness: Tried scanning for eth1 or wlan0? [10:12] admin [10:13] When I installed Ubuntu I encrypted home, how can I undo that with a command line? [10:13] dice4dj: something we can help you with? [10:13] What is ubuntu Enterprise cloud? [10:13] h-dee, What do you mean? [10:13] ubuntu-cn [10:13] #ubuntu-cn [10:14] yang__: you can just type /join #ubuntu-cn [10:14] thanks rww! [10:14] Coolness: If you remember the name of the ACCESS POINT, you may skip that step and try setting up the ACCESS POINT. [10:14] thank you [10:14] h-dee, Yes, sure, which command would i use then? [10:15] Coolness: 'sudo iwconfig eth0 essid ACCESSPOINT' as per the link. [10:15] Okay thanks [10:16] is there a way to check disk for bad sectors in ubuntu terminal [10:16] how do you install ubuntu into a tablet pc? [10:16] eth1 for me... [10:16] Hi. Does anyone know if it's normal that an ubuntu box continuously (every second) sends ARP for the broadcast address in a netwerk? ( Request who-has 10.3.255.255 tell 10.3.0.75, length 28 ) [10:16] and with file system mounted, if possible [10:16] Coolness: yes exactly. [10:16] h-dee, what am i supposed to replace with the access point name? [10:16] by tablet i also mean to imply it doesn't have a cd drive [10:17] OchoZero9: Does it support pxe? [10:17] help preventing pidgin from running on startup? (ubuntu 10.10) [10:17] Coolness: The name of your access-point (your wifi-device name) [10:17] dpetrek: You can use the SMART utilities, actually trying to write and read every block would not be possible while an FS is mounted. [10:17] h-dee, yes but in which part of the command [10:17] Coolness: replace the ACCESSSPOINT in the above command with the name of the access point [10:17] I don't knwo what PXE is, I'm shrinking the drive and allocating 86gig of space for ubuntu [10:17] jordan_u i'de rather not power down or reboot this machine, want to do a "live" bad sector test [10:17] would that be possible any way? [10:18] OchoZero9: You may also try to put a usb cd drive in [10:18] Hello [10:18] OchoZero9: With a regular PC you usually set it in the bios [10:18] how can i force a different screen resolution on Ubuntu. Running Ubuntu 10.10. I have the custom ATI drivers installed for my card but for some reason in the ATI settings it only allows me max resolution of 1280x768. Here is the config settings from xrandr http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550098/ [10:18] dpetrek: Again, the closest you're going to get is using the drive's SMART diagnostics. [10:18] h-dee, and so i type: sudo iwconfig eth1 ESSID ? [10:18] OchoZero9: http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/ubuntu_pxe.html [10:19] Jordan_U: yeah but thats not without dismounting FS [10:19] my bios may not be extensive like an asus or abit, but i think is more heavy than an hp bios [10:19] dpetrek: Yes, it is. [10:19] hi, i installed wine 1.3.10 with synaptics normal in /home/user/.wine and i installed a patched wine in /home/user/Downloads/wine-1.1.44 and know if i type winecfg or winetricks in terminal everytime wine-1.1.44 starts, and now i cant config my wine 1.3.10, pls can anybody tell me how i can change the symlinks? [10:19] since it's a thinkpad [10:19] Coolness: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid key [10:19] Ormie: for UEC information, try http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private and #ubuntu-cloud. [10:19] h-dee, thanks, i try... [10:19] Coolness: sure! [10:19] Cyberthunder: aha you are saying i could do it with SMART utilities even without dismounting FS [10:19] hi all, i have a question, is it true that Plymouth make boot ubuntu faster? is it only something nice for our eyes or something for the system? Thanks [10:20] Hi, please tell me if this is correct cp -r var/www/site1/folder var/www/site2/folder [10:20] Jordan_U: aha you are saying i could do it with SMART utilities even without dismounting FS [10:20] sda1986: it looks nice. as far as I know, it doesn't decrease boot time at all [10:20] h-dee, it says invalid argument (i replaced with my password) [10:20] rww, Thanks [10:20] rww, anyway it doesn't boost too, because someone told me it helps to boot faster [10:20] dpetrek: Yes. [10:20] h-dee, found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4312 [10:21] I'll try that now [10:21] dpetrek, sry i dont understand, my english is not perfekt, at this moment i cant start winecfg or winetricks with my "normal" wine 1.3.10 [10:21] sda1986: not that I know of [10:21] Coolness: Try just this first 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid '. If it proceeds, then use the password command. [10:21] LoonaTick: would this work for dual boot too? [10:21] okay h-dee [10:21] rww, really thanks! i love IRC chat! thanks again! [10:21] Ormie: and for movies in ASCII, try mplayer with the caca plugin. see http://oreilly.com/pub/h/4441 [10:21] h-dee, Okay, no messages at all [10:21] why wont gnome remember my visual settings after reboot? [10:21] So what did it do? [10:21] Ormie: mplayer's in Ubuntu's multiverse repository. [10:22] Coolness: try this now 'sudo iwconfig eth1 key ' [10:22] seems like wine 1.1.44 and 1.3.10 are both trying to use the .wine folder...so there's a clash [10:22] h-dee, invalid argument again :D [10:23] Coolness: Now, I can even ask your password to say whether its correct or not. LOL [10:23] Coolness: Now, I can't* even ask your password to say whether its correct or not. LOL [10:23] h-dee, haha ye [10:24] h-dee, wait, if i try to connect to a non-secure network? [10:24] h-dee, i'll make one off my phone and try... [10:24] exxtreme, how can i change this? normaly i can use winetricks when i make env WINEPREFIX "/home/user/Download/wine-1.1.44" winetricks, but now only winetricks start wine-1.1.44, is there a symlink or something to change that a stand alone winetricks starts my /home/user/.wine ? and with wineprefix i can then use wine-1.1.44 [10:24] Coolness: Sure. meanwhile I'm trying to find any other solution. [10:24] Hi everyone [10:25] h-dee, thanks a lot for your help so far :) [10:25] I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10 [10:25] lundtor, What visual settings? The GUI? [10:25] any suggestions [10:25] Coolness: :-) [10:26] Coolness: Your's is BCM4312 right? [10:26] I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10 because I don't have internet access... is it possible to download the repository as a DVD file?????????? [10:26] iso fle [10:26] h-dee, Okay so it just says nothing after i connect to the network [10:26] h-dee, yes thats it [10:26] h-dee, So i just says nothing and pinging doesnt do anything [10:26] h-dee, or, lol, says "unknown host" [10:26] Coolness: Try 'sudo dhclient' now. [10:27] @coolness I want to have an in-house 3rd party repository for ubuntu 10.10 because I don't have internet access... is it possible to download the repository as an ISO file?????????? [10:27] geekyogi: how will you download the dvd? [10:27] Coolness: Mine's same. BCM4312. [10:27] Israfel: right click desktop -> change desktop background -> Visual effects. Setting it from None to Normal works fine. Reboot and its set back to None [10:27] bonjoyee when I'm in the network [10:27] geekyogi: ? [10:27] @bonjoyee do you have any link where I can download the packages from [10:27] नवीन वर्षाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा [10:27] Coolness: But, I can't try changing it because right now I'm using it. LOL! [10:28] h-dee, okay. :D [10:28] geekyogi, I dont know, others might though :) [10:28] नवीन वर्षाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा [10:28] geekyogi: you might need something like this: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [10:28] Anyone know much about why when I run dpkg on a .deb with --force-all I am getting error creating directory `./etc/httpd/extra': No such file or directory [10:28] h-dee, the dhcp command tried a lot of stuff *walloftext* and apparently failed [10:29] h-dee, pinging stilll doesnt work :Ö [10:29] :P [10:29] geekyogi: if you can download the packages somehow...you can use dpkg-scanpackages to build a local repo [10:29] lundtor, Ah, are you using Compiz? [10:29] Coolness: Any specific failure reason. Did 'iwconfig' says it allocated any IP to eth1? [10:30] h-dee, no, iwconfig says "non-associated" [10:30] h-dee, it said "No DHCPOFERS recived" [10:30] Israfel: indeed [10:31] Coolness: Looking into it. [10:31] h-dee, great, thanks. [10:31] lundtor, Compiz takes over, if you have the visual effects, don't worry about that being disabled. [10:31] h-dee, meanwhile ill follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4312 [10:31] lundtor, However, if it's not working, make sure you have the restricted drivers enabled. [10:31] Israfel: but the effects dissapear after reboot, so i have to re-enable it every time. [10:32] Coolness: yeah you may try that. Looks bit tedius, but doesn't matter if that makes it work. :-) [10:32] Coolness: thats an old post....try that only as a worst case scenario [10:32] Okay bonjoyee, thanks, saves me trouble :D [10:33] also metacity screws up, so window decorations dissapear.. I has to set a custom command at start: metacity --replace [10:33] 55 [10:34] hey guys, i have ubuntu 10.10 and im trying to install php 5.2 but its installs me php 5.3 , how can i install the 5.2 version ? [10:34] es que nadie va al servidor deathsbreed [10:34] nunca === maxb_ is now known as Guest46842 [10:35] lundtor, I think there's a fix by rebooting, running only ompiz at the start, and saving the session's running applications. (System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, Options, Remember Currently Running Applications. [10:35] imagine, probably because the directory /etc/httpd/ does not exist ... note that /etc/httpd is not standard on debian/ubuntu anymore ... and you're probably using --force-all incorrectly here just to circumvent a genuine problem [10:35] con quien to hablas === Guest46842 is now known as mmb [10:35] Coolness: if u get no "DHCP offers received" that may mean theres no DHCP server running on the wifi router...are you sure it is? [10:35] coconutz, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459163 === mmb is now known as Juelz_Santana [10:36] bonjoyee, yeah i'm sure, i have 5 other computers here, all function fine with it [10:36] bonjoyee, DHCP gives out IP's right? [10:36] Coolness: yes [10:36] unop: I see, so for some directories the script uses mkdir, and in this case it isn't? [10:36] my firewall problem: ufw status gives me inactive. I have disable in the last session, and restarted. but still i cannot be pinged iptables --list gives me no active rule. [10:36] bonjoyee, yeah, then it has DHCP [10:37] what's better for a tablet pc alpha 11.04 or 10.04? [10:37] unop: I am writing a shell script that would use wget and do everything, making it into a .deb and using dpkg [10:37] a tablet with wacom pen and captive multi touch screen [10:37] imagine, mkdir will fail to create a subdirectory if the parent directory doesn't already exist first [10:37] unop: I confured it mysql to use that /etc/http [10:37] Coolness: or manally force an ip (thats in the wifi subnet)to your wifi card... and see if that works [10:37] Coolness: manually* [10:37] unop: I configured it myself* I thought it would create directories [10:37] hi, 'win + E' minimizes all 4 workspaces ... is there any place where i can look for the documentation on this ?? ...'win+E' or 'win+A' .. [10:37] bonjoyee, sure, but first i need to connect to the network [10:38] bonjoyee, which i cant do [10:38] lol [10:38] running wireshark shows me the incoming pings/sshs but i don't see a reply. [10:38] unop: Is there anyway around this or will I have to make the directories myself? [10:38] imagine, you might want to use 'mkdir -p' then to create the parents first .. === mcmlxxi is now known as suigeneris [10:38] OchoZero9, how about the one in the middle: 10.10 [10:38] dmaxel, i guess that's what i meant, the latest stable vs alpha [10:39] unop: I am hoping to automate it in a shell script [10:39] OchoZero9, also depends if you like unity or not [10:39] Hi [10:39] unop: Because its going to install a bunch of things from source using wget, etc in my custom locations [10:39] OchoZero9, yes, go with stable. Alpha is still in bits and pieces. [10:39] OchoZero9: I wouldn't use alphaquality software unless you really know what to do if it breaks! [10:39] imagine, so use mkdir -p ./etc/httpd/extra in your script [10:40] the question arises because i don't want to lose any tablet support that 11 may offer [10:40] since i saw a video of it with my computer [10:40] Coolness: Any success? [10:41] h-dee, nope, im stuck. [10:41] Coolness: also is there a limit as to how many ips are allowed..set in your router? [10:41] Anyone here who knows about networking stuff? [10:42] wazz, networking stuff? [10:42] yes wazz, a bit. [10:42] !ask | wazz [10:42] wazz: 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. :-) [10:42] gschwepp, lol'd [10:42] Coolness: If you're trying any other method right now, try the same again. There was some error in password input command. If you're using ASCII bases Key, try 'sudo iwconfig eth1 key s:' [10:42] Well, I have a small case with my "network" [10:43] unop: So I guess its the fault of the ./configure script, I can't update that since it will get fresh copy using wget each time, so I would have to put it in the shell script which isn't as elegant I suppose, since different ./configure will probably encounter this problem as I make odd places for the files [10:43] h-dee, yeah the key is just plain non-caps letters [10:43] I have 1 server and one normal PC (running ubuntus). They are connected to a switch and that switch is connected to a wall. [10:43] h-dee, i'll try [10:43] Coolness: And then check with 'ifconfig' the settings for eth1. [10:43] h-dee, ye thanks [10:43] I'm getting IP addresses for those two by dhcp, but I also would need some static IP for connecting them. [10:43] unop: I guess I was hoping to just be able to set a mode, like, so mkdir always uses -p for the duration of the shell script [10:43] unop: Do you know of anything like that? [10:43] h-dee, "SET failed on device eth1; invalid argument." [10:44] Coolness: After key set command? [10:44] Problem is that I'm scared that using alias ip will make some traffic "over" my own switch [10:44] unop: So I can set mkdir to always use -p, and the ./configure scripts can make directories like that without errors [10:44] h-dee, wait.... i failed a bit... [10:44] hi there how do i get to play wmi and wmv using ubuntu 10.10 [10:44] wazz: is the firewall router as well? [10:45] h-dee, so where do i insert the password? [10:45] !enter |wazz [10:45] wazz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:45] No [10:45] ahh.. not for u ubottu, sorry :) [10:45] Coolness: After 'key s:' in the above command: sudo iwconfig eht1 key s: [10:46] i have mplayer installed and have also installed the win32 codecs [10:46] h-dee, Yeah but where do i insert the SSID then? [10:46] as well as the ubuntu extras [10:46] Lol i fail [10:46] so, how do i install with dualboot in a laptop with no cd drive? [10:47] gschwepp, I'm living at dormitory and thats why I would like to keep my own traffic at my side. When I tested with sftp, for some reason transfering was faster with IP-addresses from dhcp [10:47] OchoZero9: try a liveusb.. [10:47] Coolness: No, I mean restart with those steps you used initialli. First set essid using 'sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ' [10:47] i don't know what that is, but i'll google it [10:47] Coolness: And then the keyphrase command. [10:47] wazz: do you have your own switch? [10:47] h-dee, i get you, wait [10:48] Hi, how do you guys installs Ubuntu on a laptop already running Windows? you resize partition C: on the Windows system then switch to Ubuntu for installing? [10:48] OchoZero9: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [10:48] wrd, yes. It's stupid switch (cannot make any settings) [10:48] h-dee, invalid argument [10:48] :( [10:48] thank you very much [10:49] Is it slower to use alias Ip address for transfering data? [10:49] Coolness: :( The man pages aren't that much user-friendly. Let me try again. Please hold on. [10:49] wazz is it possible for you to configure the dhcp server to get static ip adresses ? [10:49] or mac adress related ips? [10:50] wazz: you sure the switch is giving away the ips? [10:50] gschwepp, no. that stuff is between ISP and my dormitorys maintance [10:50] hello,everyone [10:50] bonjoyee, not really. I think it's somekind cisco machine. [10:50] wazz: it shouldn't be. the switch should be automatically learning your ip addresses and mac addresses and then forwarding local traffic to local machines. [10:51] wrd, I know it should be like this, but still i feel that it's not really going like that :D [10:51] h-dee, yeah i know they are weird lol [10:51] wrd: also the thing with speed. When I were transfering data over sftp it was much faster with ip addresses from dhcp [10:52] wazz: it could be a router..try changing the dhcp settings there [10:52] Anyone use hamster? [10:52] bonjoyee, not possible to change any settings. It's coming from ISP [10:53] 有中国人不 [10:53] bonjoyee: And the reason why I dont want to have a router between is my server. If I want to connect to it from outside it has to have normal Ip [10:53] !cn | wsf [10:53] wsf: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [10:54] wazz: well, are you sure that the problem is really from the ip addresses and not some random external issue? [10:54] Hello [10:54] How's it going? [10:55] 哦 /join #ubuntu-hk [10:55] anyone willing to chat to an intermediate level user about a wireless adapter issue in ubuntu? [10:55] wrd, I'm not. I think it might be this alias ip, maybe it's slower by nature. [10:55] !ot| dreamwalk [10:55] dreamwalk: #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! [10:55] when i boot my ubuntu i have heavy graphik issuses but they disappear when ubuntu is startet. they are only at the boot process. maybee it is a problem wie the graphik drive. have someone had the same problems, or have someone a solution [10:56] ... [10:56] wrd, not sure I understand.... [10:56] dreamwalk, Sure, actually having similar issues myself. [10:56] Yeah? [10:56] dreamwalk, He means dont say "Hello" here [10:57] dreamwalk, I'm running ubuntu server and can't connect to a wireless network :( [10:57] wazz: have you tried setting up a static ip and running the same tests? can you use your own switch? [10:57] what's it doing? Mine is "seeing" the wireless connection and even connecting, but it disconnects and will not connect again till reboot after justa few minutes of being onnected. [10:57] wrd: I haven't done that. I will test it out when I'm going home [10:58] Coolness, have you tried to manually install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk? [10:58] that may be your issue? [10:58] what would be a good offline dictionary for ubuntu? [10:58] Hello, wrd [10:58] dreamwalk, mine doesn't scan or see wireless networks, and ubuntu server is CLI-only [10:58] Coolness: Your's WPA or WEP encryption? [10:58] wrd, do you know if arp request is going trought this switch what isnt mine. [10:58] h-dee, WPA [10:58] guys how to format ubuntu and clean it from everything ?? [10:58] WPA2 afaik [10:59] Coolness, you can get a GUI for server, but first you have to get thhose other applications up and running. [10:59] I tried stardict and they have a total of 5000 words for anything that isn't english -german, which is a joke [10:59] dreamwalk, i know but i'd need to install Gnome... I'm slowly beginning to think i should resort to that [10:59] people here have tried helping me but no avail :( [11:00] wazz: well sniff traffic. if you are really keen you could have a look how long it takes to get an arp response. if you've got access to the arp table that could be helpful. [11:00] well, I think I may have some good news [11:00] for you [11:00] The reason i installed Ubuntu server is to get rid of the GUI; i need more RAM [11:00] Yes dreamwalk ? [11:00] Aihetleos, use a live-cd and gparted. But beware that you will loose all data on the formatted drives [11:00] i would recommend to keep the home partition. === jeff is now known as Guest22616 [11:00] just installed xrdp but there is no menu item how do i run it? [11:00] Coolness, maybe try a less demanding window manager then like lxde or xfce? [11:00] there is a version of ubuntu server that has GUI, but it's stripped down. loet me try to get a link for you [11:00] and delete the .kde and .gnome folders [11:00] ubuntu__, Yeah i could. [11:01] Thanks for the tip [11:01] Coolness: Check this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Scroll a bit below, and you'll see WPA-PSK method (says to install some utility). You may give it a shot. [11:01] ok thankjs [11:01] dreamwalk, i dont wanna reinstall anymore, its painful [11:01] h-dee, thanks bro [11:01] Coolness. ok. [11:01] but that's all I can think of :/ [11:02] any ideas for my issue? [11:02] Coolness: your welcome buddy! [11:02] anyone gotten zte 636 3g modem working on ubuntu? [11:02] what's it doing? Mine is "seeing" the wireless connection and even connecting, but it disconnects and will not connect again till reboot after justa few minutes of being onnected. [11:02] dreamwalk: you haven't described your issue yet? try to keep your questions on one line ... otherwise it's hard to follow. [11:03] how do i delete a line from the places menu? [11:03] h-dee, The guide says to verify that my wireless network device is working by doing "iwlist scan" [11:03] dreamwalk: is the signal quality ok? what kind of wifi card do you use? does the log show anything? [11:03] wireless connection is connecting, but is booted after a few minutes and then will not connect again till reboot [11:03] h-dee, since mine isn't working how can i proceed? [11:03] :( [11:04] how do i run xrdp there is no menu [11:04] Yes, signal is fin, im dual booted with windows, and it's a belkin n wireless usb adapter [11:04] that's why I can't post error reports really.. [11:04] Coolness: I don't see it. Where is it written? [11:04] 0. Install "wpa-supplicant": [11:04] Quote: [11:04] sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant [11:04] 1.

[11:05] h-dee, Okay, sure [11:05] Coolness: That wasn't a PM, you pasted it to the channel. [11:06] rww, lol i typed /msg h-dee [11:06] that should deliver it just to him? [11:06] Coolness: your client probably sent the first line just to him, the rest to this channel [11:06] Coolness: presumably the first line of text did. then it hit the newline and started a new line not in PM [11:06] Coolness: you could use pastebin [11:06] Sorry. [11:06] I understand. [11:06] I'm wanting to eventualy move away from windows, but untill I get this fix or know how, I can [11:07] *can't [11:07] dreamwalk: no it doesn't ;) [11:07] dreamwalk: do you know how to use the command line ?

[11:08] WEP [11:08] ahh did you ever get the chipset of that card ? [11:08] hi [11:09] Hello, is there a way to preserve the sound volume on the system between reboots? My machine is deafening every time it start.s [11:09] dreamwalk: then do a tail -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages /var/log/dmesg - afterwards try to connect to your router and see if any new messages arrive in these files. [11:09] i can't write in my home dir [11:09] StaRetji: no problem :) youre welcome. hf with your box [11:09] it's says that owner is root [11:09] gschwepp: thx ;) [11:09] like, the drivers and such are installed, but im not sure what you mean by chipset [11:10] alexander, you have to change to root and reset the owner to your user [11:10] or make a new user [11:10] and delete your old one [11:10] alexander: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername [11:10] i.e use sudo and chown -R to reown all of the files to you [11:10] alexander: -R right [11:11] r00t4rd3d may I message you , since you seem to knwo about my problem?

[11:12] will be something like this 05:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) [11:12] ok. , I'll go try and get my chipset. I'll be back, thanks for the lead [11:13] dreamnid, err its usb right ? so the command will be [11:13] lsusb [11:13] to get the chipset [11:13] Ok, thanks!

[12:00] skiing: Try to remove the Sound icon applet, and then reload it. [12:00] Gnea. when you told me i could port my /home. is that the term used for transfer?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:01] I'm running Apache2 on ubuntu, i was learning website development. Now the site runs fine on localhost. Whenever i access it through a remote location, the site opens, however the links do not work, they have been assigned with localhost, eg. href="localhost/whatever.htm". What do i do? [12:01] I'm not sure what to search for on google as well. Pls help [12:01] how to I mark a filesystem to be checked on reboot? [12:02] as in via fsck? [12:02] gosevan: Did you manually configured the links in the website? [12:03] h-dee: yes, i set the links something like http://localhost/xyz [12:03] gosevan: well for one you could use relitive addressing [12:03] thanks wrd, will give that a go [12:03] where is recommended place to install programs from source? [12:03] h-dee: I don't have the applet on the list [12:03] like what shoud I use for --prefix ideally? [12:04] gosevan: thats the main problem. You have to either set those links in a relative fashion or using your machine IP instead of localhost. If your machine is recognized with a domain name, use that. [12:04] iDope: why do you want to do that? you could lower the check counter or the date so it thinks it needs to check [12:04] Right. I'm currently remaking some old exams, and I need to, in ex, change all numbers to their equivalent letter. So 0 to a, b to 1,... This is no work at all using tr, but I have to use vi (because there are some commentary lines that can't be changed). I tried 1,$v/^#/!tr '[0123456789]' '[zyxwvutsrq]' but that didn't work, it expected input from the keyboard. Anybody know a solution? [12:04] skiing: The name of the applet is Indicator Applet (there are few), try loading them one by one. [12:04] sacarlson: hm. I'll check how that's done, any links on how-to? [12:04] *1 to b, not b to 1 [12:04] well I just need to check my / directory and I can't unmount it while in runlevel 5 [12:05] in firestarter, what does recieved and sent option under Network tells us? [12:05] h-dee: I have dynamic ip. Was just learning, so haven't bought myself a domain [12:05] this might be a silly question for this room. but does ubuntu use that "xorg" video thingy? [12:05] so I either need to force an fsck or remount / in read only mode [12:05] gosevan: Dynamic IP don't work that good in such scenarios. :D [12:05] Is there a way to pair a bluetooth device with so that the device is given a specific pairing key? Note: I'm not talking about the pairing code that the user types during pairing process, but the randomly generated pairing key that is then used to encrypt all traffic (which can be found in /var/lib/bluetooth/[devicemac]/linkkeys)? [12:05] h-dee: It's done. But, doesn't work [12:06] linux_direction, yes ubuntu uses that xorg video thingy [12:06] Hi. I want to fire up nautilus, thunderbird and firefox using one command. I want them to be executed in the same order, so I 'nautilus && thunderbird && firefox-4.0'. The problem is the the first two parts (nau,tb) work as they should be and the ff opens as I close tb. What am I doing wrong? [12:06] gosevan: go for relative links then. [12:06] linux_direction, xorg is the GUI server [12:06] iDope: in Ext2/3 (don't know about ext4) you would use tune2fs to set these values. [12:06] almost all linux distributions use that [12:06] thanks iDope. thanks psycho_oreos. : ) [12:06] wrd: thanks, looking into this [12:06] h-dee ya searching on how to do that. Are there any settings on apache2 to make it understand where to direct the links to? [12:06] skiing: very unfortunate buddy. Let me see if I can find anything else related to that. [12:07] gosevan: http://www.extropia.com/tutorials/web_design/relative_absolute_links.html [12:07] h-dee: I will also look too. After i get back. Thanks anyway [12:07] iDope. psycho_oreos. does that mean it has the "vesa" thing option also? [12:08] skiing: :-) sure buddy! [12:08] I want to fire up nautilus, thunderbird and firefox using one command. I want them to be executed in the same order, so I 'nautilus && thunderbird && firefox-4.0'. The problem is the the first two parts (nau,tb) work as they should be and the ff opens as I close tb. What am I doing wrong? [12:08] www: maybe try & and not && [12:09] linux_direction, vesa is a video card driver option, yes it comes as standard in case there's no alternative drivers that have their own support but can comply with vesa framework [12:09] skiing: which ubuntu version? [12:09] gschwepp: Could you explain the difference? [12:09] Is therea a way to import python values in shell? I mean, I need to invoke festival from python using os.system, and use it to read aloud some numbers from python [12:09] h-dee: Ah, that was simple. Thanks :D [12:09] gschwepp: www: & is used to make a process run as a background process. && is used to lineage processes. [12:10] oh Okay thanks again psycho_oreos. how can i access these video options, during installation. [12:10] ? [12:10] gosevan: Good Luck with that. :-) [12:10] ty h-dee , doesnt && waits until first process is done? [12:10] Like when a=12 in python, os.system('echo "Hello",a | festival --tts') it causes festival to say "Hello, a" in place of "Hello 12". [12:10] a propos of netboot... I am reading the tutorial and downloaded and installed tftp32 but do I have to install it on the machine I wish to make the netboot with or on another machine to act as a server? [12:11] do you need drivers for usb 3.0? [12:11] hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... quite often gnome starts without the theme properly loaded. e.g. the desktop panels are not themed, etc.... anyone experienced this before? [12:11] linux_direction, vesa is always used as the fallback if no other better drivers are found for your video hardware [12:11] gschwepp: I think & should be used along with && like nautilus && thunderbird & && firefox. [12:11] you dont get to set them while installing [12:11] gschwepp: this should make thunderbird run as a bg process, and so gives room for FF. [12:12] h-dee: Will try that out. Thank you. [12:12] but you can however change what driver is used by configuring it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:12] linux_direction, I personally don't think that is possible. Ubuntu afaik `autoprobes' the video chipset you have. However you can probably finetune it by making xorg dump xorg.conf file, editing it and telling xorg to load that file [12:12] www: Good Luck :-) [12:12] iDope. just on what you guys have told me right now. has shed a bit of light on whats going on here. [12:12] just pass the numbers as command-line arguments ? [12:12] or, my favourite trick, create a named pipe and use that for IPC# [12:13] hey [12:13] h-dee: ty for explanation :) [12:13] h-dee: won't work - syntax error. [12:13] rocket16: thats basically the wrong channel but system with a single quoted string will not expand a ... you should instead create the string you want to create and THEN call system , you might also look if there are actually festival libraries for python? try foobar="echo \"Hello".append(a).append("\"| festival --tts") os.system(foobar) [12:14] hi all... i'm using 10.10 64 bit... quite often gnome starts without the theme properly loaded. e.g. the desktop panels are not themed, etc.... anyone experienced this before?

[12:23] h-dee: it says "starting gtk-window-decorator"... and nothing happens [12:23] NeoCicak: please elaborate a bit more. I used to have compiz problem only. [12:23] linux_direction, why? [12:24] h-dee: well.. something happens... its that i lost all of the window border, etc... i cant move my windows now [12:24] i wasnt sure if you caught my response to your last reply to me? === makan is now known as BuayaOnline [12:25] was juz gunna paste it in a private window. as to not to disturb the room. [12:25] thats all. [12:25] NeoCiacak: Seems like a strange problem. Compiz is the window manager used by default, and if that doesn't reolve the issue, it might be something else. Let me see. [12:25] hi i borked my sudo.orig file by trying to edit the the path for gem http://pastebin.com/7wK3y4FW [12:25] linux_direction, ahh wait I didn't catch what you said last as you didn't highlight my nick, hang on lemme scroll back my IRC buffer [12:26] is there anyways to correct this tragedy ? [12:26] h-dee: yeah... its really strange... this happens randomly.... sometimes everything works ok (panel loaded correctly, etc)... but sometimes they are not... by 'not themed properly' i meant its just plain grey [12:26] yeah i realized that psycho_oreos. [12:26] BoxZilla, use su (?) [12:26] not there [12:26] i was waiting. and wondering should i re post it. this time with your nick but thought i might make the room annoyed. [12:26] sudo [12:27] I do not have the root password [12:27] BoxZilla, then use liveCD i guess and chroot... [12:27] BoxZilla: you don't need the root password for sudo [12:27] linux_direction: dont paste in irc you'll get kicked or delayed. use pastebins instead. [12:27] umi am using a netbook [12:27] nocd drive [12:27] BoxZilla: you just need to use your own password with sudo [12:27] NeoCicak: Just to crosscheck...please open your system monitor, and check if compiz process is running? [12:27] BoxZilla, then liveUSB :) === xD is now known as ElNota [12:28] eh ikonia i was referring to su [12:28] thanks wrd. how do i do that. im new to IRC as well as linux. [12:28] linux_direction, your message was cut off when you tried to compare puppy versus ubuntu versus debian. Ultimately ubuntu is made to make life easier without one having to manually do all this by hand, though you can always hack away at console to specify whatever you want [12:28] rumpel no tmobile already throttled bandwidth [12:28] !pastebin | linux_direction [12:28] linux_direction: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:28] h-dee: yeah, its running [12:29] BoxZilla, any linux-cd available? [12:29] no [12:29] not at all [12:29] BoxZilla, no sudo.. no su... well... sounds bad :/ [12:29] NeoCicak: okay! just give it a try...kill it and run it again as specified earlier. [12:29] yeah [12:30] uummmm.ok wrd and ubottu. so then what would be the difference if i pasted. or retyped it word for word? [12:30] none i think. [12:30] h-dee : still the same... themes are not loaded properly... :( [12:31] NeoCicak: :-( [12:31] BoxZilla: how about booting to single user session? [12:31] and psycho_oreos. well im not sure you got the gist of my reply. [12:31] linux_direction, generally there's a rule against pasting more than maybe 3 lines of text within this channel. It is to prevent anti-flooding [12:31] NeoCicak: would it be possible for you to send a screenshot? [12:31] linux_direction, I guess part of it I sort of understood [12:31] linux_direction: uhm if you use enter as punctuation and paste in irc, if you post more than 5 or 10 lines per second. you'll be kicked of the server, and this is called flooding. if you use pastebins all the text is stored at a webserver and you post a single link. ps: reading the guidelines helps(in the topic) [12:31] BuayaOnline: I a,tje single user on this netbook [12:31] h-dee : where can i send it to? [12:31] am* [12:31] NeoCicak: mail me? [12:32] !imagebin [12:32] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [12:32] Hey all, is it possible to convert an mkv (x264) video to divx hd? My camera produces x264, but my tv only plays divs directly [12:32] oh Okay. i understand the why's i guess. i just find it funny that if i was to retype what i asked the last time. that there's no difference in pasting or retyping. so is it more of a case of not using to many lines to ask the question? === ElNota is now known as xD [12:33] h-dee: http://imagebin.org/130920 [12:33] h-dee: you can see that the window borders are dark grey... but the desktop panel is not.... when the theme is loaded properly, the colour should be similar to the window border [12:33] or is there a difference(inside the computer) and on this IRC server, between a retype and a paste(ctrl-v) [12:33] ? [12:33] so is there actually anything I can do to restore my sudo file] [12:34] NeoCicak: Yes i can see. It doesn't look like a compiz issue. let me check. [12:34] linux_direction: uhh, if they are the same word for word, no [12:34] techniquely? i mean? [12:34] linux_direction, basically yes, don't type too many lines within a certain amount of time frame [12:34] miximixi [12:34] linux_direction: you should use pastebins and paste your stuff there. thats a huge difference? [12:35] BoxZilla, don't think so ... even if you have a copy, you don't have the necessary rights [12:35] hmm. I have a really weird issue--I can't unlock the workstation with my password, the computer doesn't accept it. But at the initial login screen, it takes passwords just fine. I already tried changing my password, trying both the old and new passwords there. Anyone else had something similar, maybe? [12:36] oh Okay. thanks Callum__. and thanks psycho_oreos and word. i will learn to use the pastebin. and thanks for helping me get a better understanding on how to conduct myself. cheers guys. === Kinslayer is now known as Kin [12:37] linux_direction, pastebin is really handy for large pastes that normally shouldn't go into IRC for example. This is to prevent flooding.. like for example if I were to tell you to send me a copy of your dmesg output, that contains at minimum 300 lines. To paste all that directly into channel would attract 1405 or so users with un-necessary/unrelated to their topic or queries' paste and hence deemed bad [12:38] hello [12:38] psycho_oreos: may i add it also is an amazing waste of bandwith [12:39] oh Okay. i do understand the why(s). and appreciate them. thanks psycho_oreos. and wrd sorry. i missed your pvt. [12:39] guampa, yup if one is on restricted/smaller bandwidth as well :) [12:39] I recently installed Maverick via ubuntu and then decided to move wubi install to a real partition [12:39] oops, typo [12:39] via wubi [12:39] how do you reassemble a raid-5 that had 2 device drop-out? [12:40] I've used lvpm, everything was copied, but menu entry in GRUB doesn't work [12:40] psycho_oreos: not only if you are on a smaller bandwith, it's 1500 times the same thing versus one [12:41] NeoCicak: Did you tried to load any other themes recently? [12:41] NeoCicak: Do 1 thing, download gconf-editor [12:41] h-dee: yeah... without any success either [12:41] guampa, though thankfully in channels like this, there's anti-flood mechanisms in place to prevent excessive flooding [12:42] h-dee: i run it just now.. [12:42] psycho_oreos: yup [12:42] NeoCicak: The tool gconf-editor lets you customize each and every aspect of your screen. Download it, and see if it can get you those settings back. [12:43] h-dee: hmmm ... which entry should i check ? [12:43] Apps - > Panel -> toplevel [12:46] hi there, i needed to rename an account on an ubuntu machine, the user was called say UserA, i needed to rename this to UserNEW but also so when userNEW logs on, it goes to /home/userNEW etc. I did: sudo usermod -l l usernew usera which worked, but if i go id usernew it shows: uid=1001(usernew) gid=1002(userA) any ideas how I can finish this off and get it working correctly? [12:46] HI [12:46] NeoCicak: Try one more thing...right-click on top panel and go to properties, and then Background. Let me know what its set to? [12:46] I'm trying to connect to my server via ssh. When I'm connected I'm asked for the password. I type the password, press enter and then nothing happens [12:46] h-dee: None (use system theme) [12:46] What can I do now? [12:47] NeoCicak: Okay! [12:50] foofoobar: you can have a look at the server where sshd logs its messages to and then open the log file with tail -f and log on and look what sshd produces. [12:50] NeoCicak: Open this file: gksu gedit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/apps/gnome-panel.rc [12:50] foofoobar: maybe you can raise the loglevel of sshd to get more messages [12:50] foofoobar: maybe by adding -v on your ssh command will help you to debug your issue... (e.g: ssh -v ) [12:51] h-dee: ok [12:51] NeoCicak: is this SET bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "img/panel.png" [12:51] wrd, the last lines are: [12:51] root@myserver's password: [12:51] debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). [12:51] debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] [12:51] debug1: Entering interactive session. [12:51] foofoobar: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:53] Is there a tool for the gnome desktop that can be used to find files? one that is able to execute search queries like: all pdf documents, or: all pdf and word documents that contain 'ab', with without case sensitivity etc.? [12:53] foofoobar: are you allowing root to login via ssh? [12:53] wrd, yes [12:53] Normaly it works.. But now - and I dont know why - it doesnt.. [12:53] NeoCicak: I'll send you version of my file, run the diff command on your file, and the one I send, and see if it points out differences. [12:53] I cant connect to the machine and look at the logs. Should I reset it? [12:54] NeoCicak: Open the terminal and run the 'diff' command with your file (complete path), and my file as arguments. [12:54] foofoobar: can't you just attach a monitor and look at it ? (if it doesn't work via ssh) [12:54] Hey all, is it possible to convert an mkv (x264) video to divx hd? My camera produces x264, but my tv only plays divs directly from harddisk... [12:55] wrd, no, the server is placed in a data center [12:55] h-dee: mmm can you send me the file again? i dont know where i store the file >.< [12:55] wrd, I cant reset it via remote.. so I think it is the only thing I can do now.. [12:55] h-dee: thx [12:55] I can connect via a "remote serial console", but there I cant login, too [12:55] foofoobar: you can increase verbose level by using -vv or -vvv [12:55] h-dee: no difference :( [12:56] NeoCicak: Very Unfortunate. :-( [12:56] wrd, BuayaOnline: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550208/ [12:56] I think I have to reset now :/ [12:57] ээээ [12:57] NeoCicak: By the way, changing background under Panel properties, makes any difference?

[12:58] NeoCicak: Talking about an unconventional method, try changin to some other background property, apply it, and then back to same, to see if works. [12:58] чё все бегают то?

I reset the machine now and have a look at the logs.. [13:01] h-dee: is that the file explorer? [13:01] NeoCicak: Its a File Explorer.

How come? [13:09] psycho_oreos: kkkkkkkk, so, thx [13:09] =] [13:09] NeoCicak: rename makes sure it stays in case you got to revert to old if new ones do not work out. [13:09] h-dee: i did that before... and the problem came back again [13:10] if I then cancel it, and start it again, it will pick up where it left off (ie. not copy those files it's already just copied across) but it still continues to copy across all the other files, including files that are already at the destination [13:10] NeoCicak: seems like a pretty stubborn issue...LOL! [13:10] I'm very confused, is this normal behaviour for rsync? [13:10] h-dee: yeah [13:12] wrd, after reseting the sshd refused any connection [13:13] wrd, I had a look at the boot process via the remote serial console: [13:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/550211/ [13:14] NeoCicak: BUMP!

Click the "Select webcam" pulldown menu and check whether you have more than just /dev/video0 in the menu. [15:35] it sees the essid now [15:35] Is there a way to get working Unity Places yet? [15:35] Soyo: Sorry bud! I don't have knowledge about Xfce processes, but I'm wondering why Gnome processes are running in there. If there's a process named gnome-settings-daemon, try to kill and restart it. [15:35] tyty [15:35] but under network manager its still greyed saying disabled [15:35] wait a sec [15:36] I've installed unity-place* packages already, but there's no Places visible [15:36] h-dee that I believe there is let me try that [15:36] to turn the wireless on/off in ubuntu with that laptop is windows key +f2 [15:36] it does nothing r00t4rd3d [15:37] Geek: try another network-manager like stagui or wicd [15:37] geek: opps wpagui and wicd [15:37] try activating the sta driver in additional drivers.... [15:37] i grabbed wicd [15:37] the sta driver wont install [15:38] dajhorn: I only see my webcam HP ENVY HD Webcam (/dev/video0) and when I make a test the other person is able to see me, but all I get from them is a blank screen. I am thinking the issue is not my webcam but the way I receive video from them. I wonder if compiz is interfering with the video feed. [15:38] [*Question*] How do I by pass 'Checking bettery state' message ? [15:38] ubuntunoob12: make sure you have Flash installed. [15:38] ubuntunoob12: In the same panel, what is selected under "Automatically receive video from"... [15:38] wicd doesnt even see the wifi card [15:38] Ok, I'll try that [15:38] so its not installed [15:38] thanks [15:39] h-dee no gnome-settings but I did play around with killing some xfce processes to no avail. (except logging me out of the gui) I think I will just uninstall xfce, sudo apt-get remove xfce? [15:39] anybody [15:39] cpu temperature on ubuntu 10.04 any help? [15:39] ubuntunoob12: Okay, the problem is on the far end. The other party must actively send you a video feed by clicking the blue video button in the call. [15:39] Soyo: any previous experiences with Xfce or a newbie? I like Gnome and if you're a newbie, do give it a try. :-) [15:39] ubuntunoob12: Skype does not automatically send video by default. [15:40] Oh gods, anyone? Can't get Unity Places working on Natty! [15:40] geek: try ifconfig wlan1 up [15:40] Punkoff: Try the #ubuntu+1 channel. [15:40] one of my machines keeps running out of inodes. Is sysctl the place to update that? what's the variable I should shange ? [15:40] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [15:40] Ok, I'll try another person! [15:40] thanks [15:40] depends, what sort of inode are you talking about? [15:41] h-dee I have used gnome before and liked it better. Netbook edition too. That's what I will replace it with when I figure out how to uninstall xfce [15:41] are you referring to kernel memory inodes or disc inodes? [15:41] fatius: Look at the tune2fs program. [15:41] shentino: I'm running out of open disc inodes [15:41] dajhorn, thank you very much! [15:41] geek: that might need to be sudo ifconfig wlan1 up [15:41] Soyo: Good Luck with that bud! :-) [15:41] hello. Im using ubuntu 11.4, How can I change the login screen? [15:41] ubuntunoob12: Welcome. [15:41] Is it more important to have Noscript in Firefox installed in Windows than in Ubuntu? [15:41] that was with it lol [15:41] dajhorn: thanks I'll take a look. [15:41] GUI feels like a handicap to me still anyway but I need it to interface with the humans (make pretty web pages and documents and such) [15:42] Geek--, rfkill list in term [15:42] anything listed [15:42] fatius, your hard drive is failing? [15:42] the name ubuntunoob12 is so self-flattering... [15:42] Soyo: so you're a web-developer? [15:42] fatius: Make a backup before touching anything like inodes. Changing this kind of thing can trash your data. [15:42] compdoc: I don't think so. [15:42] http://pastebin.com/HYxfx0Zi [15:43] HA blocked [15:43] dajhorn: changing the open Inode limit can trash it, really? [15:43] fatius, do you have too many files? [15:43] windows key + f2 once [15:43] then [15:43] compdoc: not as far as I can tell... open files [15:43] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:43] windows key does noting [15:43] DO IT [15:43] I DID! [15:43] lol [15:43] fatius: Changing the innards of a filesystem is always risky.

[15:45] I'm trying to help a friend of mine install Ubuntu 10.10 on his Dell inspiron 1545. The problem I anticipate is that when we use the "try Ubuntu" option, his wireless card is not supported. I'm under the impression that the wireless card is one of the following: Dell Wireless 1397 802.11g Mini-Card Dell Wireless 1515 Wireless-N Mini-Card Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card. Any idea on if these cards are supported through Ubuntu 10.10 or if I can download [15:45] the drivers for them and just install them? [15:45] v [15:45] how to change my nickname on my ubuntu? [15:45] good luck Anchor they dont really listen to whats going on [15:46] anyone please. . . . [15:46] I'm curious how various Samba and OpenVPN services- and others- handle being restarted (or reloading conf) on Ubuntu. Am I right that typically only the listening daemon process is restarted immediately and the active connections are given a chance to finish cleanly? [15:46] how to change my nickname on my ubuntu? [15:46] Anchor: Mine's 1525 little brother of 1545, and its working perfectly fine. 1545 should work. [15:46] how to change my nickname on my ubuntu? [15:46] vampire22: nickname ? you mean your login ? [15:46] Geek--: c'mon, what's the matter? [15:46] yasitha1: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors ; sudo sensors-detect [15:46] please! [15:46] yupz dan [15:47] vampire~ where r u from?? [15:47] h-dee: I did the try ubuntu option and when I looked at the network properties on the GUI and it stated Wireless Connection 1 (Need Firmware) [15:47] am from indonesia [15:47] Anchor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [15:47] seems like no one listens to whats going on im trying to say its disabled and nothing is working but they want me to do this and and this when it doesnt work [15:47] secretary_linux: Only the SSH process does this reliably so that you don't get dropped during an upgrade. It is hit-and-miss for other services. [15:47] good [15:47] Geek: rmmod b43 rfkill block all rfkill unblock all modprobe b43 rfkill unblock all ifconfig wlan1 up as seen in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311886 [15:47] h-dee: same happened with me, but I still installed it, and it worked like a charm. [15:47] vampire22: you can change it graphically in system->administration->user and group management [15:48] Anchor: same happened with me, but I still installed it, and it worked like a charm. [15:48] dajhorn: thanks for the warning. I thought I accidentally killed a VPN connection yesterday doing that. I'm really most concerned about active file transfers in Samba though [15:48] IRC nickname i mean [15:48] vampire22: /nick newnickname [15:48] h-dee I am trying out aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop on tty2 (finger's crossed) [15:48] Soyo: Good Luck bud! === babuemf is now known as mibu [15:48] ty [15:48] secretary_linux: In the Samba init script, notice the difference between "reload" and "restart". The reload option usually keeps active sessions open. [15:48] @myrtti thankyou brad [15:49] but in the network manager its GREYED out === vampire22 is now known as newnickname [15:49] nothing seems to work :( [15:49] milamber: Thanks. I appreciate it. [15:49] like this? [15:49] thank you myrtti [15:49] geek: skip the network manager get cli working then after that works move to gui [15:49] am on you [15:49] lol [15:49] dajhorn: yes, although I noticed when I ran the openvpn reload, if there are active connections it seems like it actually goes ahead and does the full restart. that's what got me concerned [15:49] h-dee: thanks for the advice from experience. I'm just going to install it without erasing his partitions in the event something happens. [15:49] can someone help me try to add the ctan repository?; I don't know what to put for the apt-line in the pkg manager [15:50] newnickname: you could of course need to pick a new nickname yourself ;-) [15:50] Seems to have finished, but its still running. I guess I have to do the unthinkable and reboot [15:50] hey [15:50] Anchor: np. wireless is pretty ok nowadays. === newnickname is now known as vampire [15:50] Anchor: Yes! good to be on the safer side. [15:50] so how do i get the cli to work when its not seeing it [15:50] you tell me ;) [15:50] myrtti yupz [15:50] Soyo: Give it a go..... [15:50] geek: it does see it we see wlan1 [15:51] secretary_linux: Learn how to use `screen` and `at` if you need to change the configuration on a remote access daemon. [15:51] but then why doesnt it pick up the wireless? [15:51] milamber: Yeah. I just installed ubuntu on my computer yesterday because I was sick of Windows. Now I'm seeing the benefits (I just need to get real internet instead of this satellite connection to Jordan crap.) [15:51] ifconfig doesnt even show it [15:51] my network-manager says mine isn't working now to but I chating with you aren't I? === mibu is now known as babuemf [15:51] secretary_linux: I sometimes do an `at now + 60 minutes` < reboot if I'm doing something that could cause the server to go dumb. [15:52] geek_ did you try the link I gave you to fix that? [15:52] Anchor: good news. glad you have had a good experience so far. [15:52] hi, i have a question about packages, i installed blenders new beta release using this tutorial to ubuntu 10.10 amd64: http://mbah.net/2010/11/11/installing-blender-2-55-beta/ [15:52] i'v got the problem when i enabling the water effect on my AOD255. . .anyone can give me a reason why? [15:52] dajhorn: I do use screen for other things already, and I certainly see the usefulness of at here, thanks. but how do you recommend using screen? [15:52] geek: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311886 [15:52] after that, every package i install gives an error among install [15:52] kenanb: what is the error message? [15:53] got a bit of a weird problem, this hasnt done it before so i dont know whats happened. I open up my a bookmark(file) which points to a smb. it opens the location, i see the files, then it freezes, i cant access menus ie applications etc, i can only tab to other programs as well. I press the power button as if to turn the pc off(on the laptop) it closes the browser location/everything else, and everything becomes unfrozen. ANy ideas please? [15:53] packages mostly seem to install correctly considering they work, but they give the message anyway [15:53] geek: if that fails then install the linux-backports-wifi [15:53] it says the installation failed with some errors, may i paste the errors somewhere?

There is a chance that the init script could be killed before the daemon restarts. Screen ensures that the reload or restart finishes.

[16:00] @erUSUL I copy pasted this thing [16:00] Now I typed the character actually and it got cleared [16:00] arundracula: then the problem may be the fancy single quote ' [16:00] Thanks [16:01] Thank you all..

[16:31] h-dee: I already do, in the "startup applications" program under system then preferences, I have a line that's /bin/usr/compiz, but it still doesnt launch properly ocasionally [16:31] omg [16:32] ajwill: It happened with me a while back, and I just did this, and it sorted out afterwards. [16:32] #ubuntu-beginners-team [16:33] sorry about that, ubuntu logged me out... [16:33] h-dee: you were saying? [16:33] ajwill: It happened with me a while back, and I just did this, and it sorted out afterwards. [16:33] ajwill: there is no such path in your filesystem [16:34] ajwill: did you even check wat you wrote there? [16:34] ajwill: try just 'compiz'. It should work fine. [16:34] h-dee: okay I'll try that [16:34] rob|: yeah I know I meant /usr/bin/compiz [16:35] well, then just write what you mean [16:35] rob|: I'm not perfect, I make mistakes :) [16:35] rob|: people make mistakes, please relax [16:35] rob: don't be so rude buddy. [16:35] okay and in regards to what just happened, I have another question, does anyone know if the 10.10(maverik) randomly logging people out has been solved yet? [16:36] oh, i forgot - this is a cuddle chan [16:36] QUESTION: Can someone give me some tips on getting my Ubuntu LAMP setup to talk to a MSSQL database residing on a different server? [16:36] ajwill: is that true? Never heard of such issue before. I never faced such issue using 10.10. [16:37] Hi, I am getting the problem in assessing the router, I have forgotten the network key, is there any way that I can get it back or crack it [16:37] neiln: reset button [16:37] h-dee: I did some googling a while ago and it seemed I wasnt the only one... I had it when I first installed ubuntu, and I recently completely wiped my hard drive and reinstalled ubuntu on a new partition and still, once every while, usually in the middle of something, the screen will go black then I'm taken to the login screen... [16:38] neiln: what kind of router? [16:38] its a brouter, its Beetel 450BXI [16:38] rob. it does not have to reset button === jocrawfo is now known as jcrawford [16:38] ajwill: the screen goes blank immediately while working? (not in idle state) [16:39] no reset buton? what kind of crappy hardware is that? [16:39] neiln: Beetel? Connection by Bharti Airtel? [16:39] h-dee: yes, that was why I randomly quit, the screen went black, closed all my programs, then logged me out [16:40] h-dee, I am only using the router for my home networking and not using any service provider [16:40] neiln, is there a reset button anywhere on the router? usually its a tiny little hole on the back [16:40] QUESTION -- Can someone give me some tips on getting my Ubuntu LAMP setup to talk to a MSSQL database residing on a different server? -- Is this a good place for this question, or should I choose another channel? [16:41] kennethbaucum: maybe #ubuntu-server [16:41] kennethbaucum, #php or #apache would probably be better alternatives too [16:41] ajwill: thats a sad issue. [16:41] Thanks, IdleOne [16:42] h-dee: it is, it gets annoying as well, I no longer do anything for school on this computer due to the risk of it just randomly logging me out... [16:42] hello. Im using ubuntu 11.4, How can I change the login screen? [16:42] Kre10s: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 [16:42] ajwill, no i have already checekd that and there is no button [16:43] This might not be the right place, but I need to deploy a system at a clients and have it open a tunnel back to my server and allow me to connect to a port on the deployed system. I know it is a reverse tunnel and I can get it to work from the server, but not from another machine. [16:43] thanks [16:43] neiln, okay, have you googled around for instructions for a hard-reset or something like that? [16:43] Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 and have noticed that the network to and from another Ubuntu machine using samba is extremely slow when trying to view music/folders/videos. I am on a Gigabit network and have checked BW usage on both ends. However my Windows PC seems to be able to view 1080p files fine from the server via Samba. I have done some research using Google and came accross http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread. [16:43] php?t=1213688... this suggests I need to change gvfs config, how can I do this? Sorry for the long message, but thanks! [16:43] ajwill: Is there any particular hardware device in common? I mean when you checked the forums, do others having the same issue have anything in common, like a particular hardware device which might be not completely supported by Maverick? [16:43] kenotic: what kind of tunnel? [16:44] ssh tunnel [16:44] then use -R for a reverse tunnel [16:44] sall all [16:44] h-dee, not that I can tell... I remember I did quite a bit of checking but still found nothing... [16:44] guampa, I got the tunnel to come up and can connect to vnc on the client machine from the server, but not from my desktop [16:45] how do I test if passwordless sudo of a certain command is supported (without running the command) ? [16:45] h-dee: do you use compiz and/or firefox? [16:45] ajwill: Very strange. How come I haven't faced that issue yet then? I don't think I'm that lucky. LOL! [16:45] e.g. is there a "dry-run" mode of sudo where it just returns whether or not it can run such a command? [16:46] ajwill: I use compiz + chrome [16:46] ajwill: I rarely open firefox [16:46] kenotic: find out if the port opened in your server is just listening on 127.0.0.1 or if some firewall is blocking you [16:46] h-dee: okay that eliminates the possibility of it being compiz (yay!) maybe I'll try installing chrome and using it instead... cuz one thing I just found is most people say their ubuntu crashes usually while using firefox or thunderbird [16:47] kenotic: netstat -ltpn on the server should give that info [16:47] ajwill: I love chrome, and never turned back to firefox after using chrome. :-) [16:48] guampa, I see it as 127.0.0.1:5900 so it is listening [16:48] but looks like to just local host [16:48] yes, but only in the local address [16:48] Anyone? [16:48] guampa, so I need to change it to the servers ip? [16:48] h-dee: I did love chrome on windows but I had a bad experience with it in fedora, I really didnt like it, it was laggy and horrid... [16:49] how do i view drive info in terminal? [16:49] kenotic: change -Rport:rhost:rpot to -localRaddress:port:rhost:rport [16:50] sorry -Rlocaladdress:port:rhost:rport [16:50] ajwill: I'm sure you won't find such issues with Chrome on Ubuntu. besides, chrome is updated frequently. I sometimes feel its more powerful here than at windows (bad old windows) LOL! [16:50] guampa, thanks I will give that a try [16:50] alternatively you can dnat that to another iface/address [16:50] XP1: what kind of drive? [16:51] maybe I'll start using chrome and see if that solves my problem... [16:51] ajwill: Good Luck with that bud! [16:52] h-dee: thanks! [16:52] how do i install java in ubuntu?

[17:09] NTFS [17:09] Vasa, so - linux permission (including execute) don't work then, if the file was on a linux partition it would stay. [17:10] scarlson that sounds familiar.

[17:46] I installed it on 3 pcs now over xmas [17:46] want to make sure my hardware suffers no incompatibilities [17:46] what are the safest/most supported mobos to use for ubuntu? [17:46] Thanks erUSUL [17:46] sacarlson: I installed it on 3 pcs now over xmas (Sorry I forget to add your name also) [17:46] intel own brand combined with intel cpu? [17:47] or am I living in the past? [17:47] Lantchips: so this media has worked on other but just not on this system. ok try an older 10.04 or beta 11.04 [17:48] Lantchips, when you make the system start from usb drive what does it happen? [17:48] AlVal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [17:48] milamber: thanks === weasel__ is now known as Caveman [17:48] Thomas_Anderson: It boots the USB and then it comes to the ubuntu spash screen you know the flashing balls. and then it stays there :/ [17:48] and I guess it's just a waiting game as regards when support for any dvb-t2 chipsets will come along [17:49] sacarlson: 11.04 is alpha not beta and will probably cause more issues then fix for them right now [17:49] Thomas_Anderson: Then I tried to install it from Windows and then it says it's already installed on the PC so it can't install it [17:49] Lantchips, have you tried to press F6? [17:49] Hi! how can I set my locale temporarily to de_DE.iso-8859-15 ? [17:49] Thomas_Anderson: Not really ? What should happen then ? [17:49] IdleOne: thank you alph beta [17:49] my gtk+ warns me its not supported (via LC_ALL=de_DE....) [17:50] anyone know what group of linux developers would be involved in the supporting/implementing of new chipsets for tv capture (dvb-t2 , the new standard [at least in europe]) [17:50] Launtchips, when you reach that screen if you press F6 you can change some booting and installing options [17:50] IdleOne: I ment that as a compliment sorry if that looked bad [17:50] Thomas_Anderson: When starting ubuntu rite ? [17:50] is swapping the apache MPM just a matter of 'apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker' or is there more to it than that? (#httpd said to ask here, i'm running apache 2.2 on ubuntu 10.04) [17:50] Thomas_Anderson: I will try that when I get the stupid keyboard back :) [17:50] sacarlson: no worries, just keep in mind that suggesting natty at this point in time is probably not the best idea for most users [17:51] AlVal: video for linux: http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/ [17:51] IdleOne: ok noted [17:51] is it possible to log errors from nautilus? [17:51] milamber: again, thanks :D [17:51] AlVal: np [17:52] maxo: you can run nuatilus from the command line and see some errors not normaly seen [17:52] does anyone else have a problem with unpacking python-minimal ? [17:52] Does anybody have GnoMenu 2.9 installed on Maverick? [17:53] wasutton3-Laptop: what version of Ubuntu? [17:53] sacarlson, it doesn't show anything, it seems to just fork and return to the prompt whilst still running [17:53] IdleOne: maverick, fresh install not 4 hours old [17:53] maxo: well some apps are noisy some aren't [17:54] Anyone heard any more rumours about ubuntu going to rolling releases ? === vxcvxcv is now known as DaZ [17:54] AlVal: linuxtv.org is also a good resource [17:54] maxo: your right I just tested it seems to go into && mode not sure it will return a responce === share is now known as Guest42215 [17:55] Hi there, Im going to by a netbook. Any one here is using ubuntu in a Packard Bell?. Does everything run ok? [17:55] Lantchips, you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but i hear it wasn't true. [17:55] Lantchips: rolling releases? [17:55] i heard that is untrue also [17:55] ZykoticK9: aha ty :) Gonna check :) [17:55] Lantchips: only rumors [17:56] is swapping the apache MPM just a matter of 'apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker' or is there more to it than that? (#httpd said to ask here, i'm running apache 2.2 on ubuntu 10.04) [17:56] I been told by a friend that Ubuntu doesnt work well in Packard bell, and I dont want to buy and latter return it [17:56] afternoon all [17:56] sacarlson, http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&biw=1344&bih=571&defl=en&q=define:Rolling+release&sa=X&ei=Ll8jTZnPMoycsQP-5Ym9Cg&ved=0CBUQkAE [17:56] hi wildc4rd [17:57] Doinkle: I guess like git and the kernel [17:57] sacarlson, think more of... rather than wiping and installing, things just get patched [17:57] sacarlson, like windows xp sp 15 in the year 2014 [17:57] ;) [17:58] Doinkle: or not sure how that would work with a big change in gnome but anything is posible === marc is now known as Guest9166 [18:00] How can I recreate a partition table for my SD Card? testdisk does not find anything but e2fsck reports the correct number of files and directories - did some tests with fdisk and parted (can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1659163)... [18:03] hi room : ) [18:03] hi maybe one of you can help me [18:04] !ask | mclovin [18:04] mclovin: 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. :-) [18:04] im on backtrack 4 rc2 and im trying to get my wireless to work [18:04] !backtrack | mclovin [18:04] mclovin: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [18:04] its an intel calistoga netbook with a ralink wireless card [18:04] prunus-dulcis: you can dd it and put it on something else or send it to someone else to work on [18:05] mclovin, you have to set up the internet connection manually [18:06] ok so i starded networking by doing the /etc/init.d/start networking [18:06] wich works fine for my eth0 [18:06] when i do an iwconfig i get this printed out [18:06] wlan0 Ralink STA ESSID:"" Nickname:"" [18:06] Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz [18:06] Link Quality=10/100 Signal level :0 dBm Noise level:-143 dBm [18:06] Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid cry pt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 [18:06] Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid m isc:0 Missed beacon:0 [18:06] ive just installed ubu to my hdd. i have an exact spare drive. using a live cd can I or does anyone have any suggestions on how i can back up/mirror my (now new) ubu hdd to my spare drive? [18:07] and yet i cant seem to find the wireless hdd [18:07] mclovin, Thomas_Anderson BackTrack support is not on topic here, it's OT - there is a Backtrack support channel. [18:07] ok [18:07] @zykoticK9 im new her where do i find that [18:07] Thomas_Anderson, feel free to PM [18:08] mcl0vin: /join #backtrack-linux [18:08] linux_direction: dd may be the command you are looking for? [18:08] thnx guys im outta here then thnx again [18:08] sacarlson: dd ing it and putting it somewhere else could help? I made an image with partimage, will try to extract the image file to another disk then [18:08] Hmm [18:08] linux_direction: or rsync if you want it to be an ongoing thing? [18:09] Anyone know if there is decent "Finance" managment software for Ubunti? [18:09] oh. Okay. thanks milamber. i am new. so thanks for pointing me in the right direction : ) [18:09] Something wtih a web-interface? [18:09] prunus-dulcis: that's probly what partimage does [18:10] Slyboots: http://ubuntudoctor.com/content/news/10-linux-financial-tools Not sure if that helps ? [18:10] want a pc with no moving parts, if i underclock a modern processor, wonder if i could get away without a fan [18:10] mbvpixies78: you should be able to speak now [18:10] prunus-dulcis: I didn't see anything from the link to see anything I could work from but a forensic could [18:10] I'll check it out [18:10] oh Okay. but i dont really want it to be an ongoing thing. its just that i have a nice fresh clean install. so before i start twiddling with my new ubu machine. i thought it would be a good idea. if i could replicate the drive. in case i stuff up my ubu. [18:10] IdleOne: thank you thank you thank you [18:11] assuming my mobo doesnt have a fan on any of its other chipsets, use ssd disks, and i can find a fanless psu, i guess i'd have a silent/no moving parts pc [18:11] I think I tried GnuCash but it was a bit.. *too* powerful for my needs [18:11] :D Need something more of "Hey pay this guy before your legs get broke" or "Break this guys legs.. he owes you money" [18:11] AlVal, i don't think it's possible; however you can try using a liquid heatsink [18:12] Slyboots: there are 9 other thingys there to ;) === mbvpixies78 is now known as Danny78 [18:12] sacarlson: thank you , the image was made after the partition already lost the partition table - will see what else I can find out - just strange that e2fsck still reports the files being there [18:12] asd [18:12] Thomas_Anderson: you think the combination of fanless cpu, fanless psu etc will all add up to too much heat? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [18:12] Can anyone help me set up xampp? It won't start properly [18:12] thought underclocking as much as poss might help counteract [18:13] prunus-dulcis: it's not that easy to delete files, the best way to delete them is to encrypt them, so that should give you hope [18:13] how can i disable the "import photo's " dialog that pops up when inserting media with photos ? [18:13] Danny78, you should think about using the Lamp stack built into ubuntu - you'll get better support in this channel for sure. [18:13] I put some files https://sourceforge.net/projects/malwareip/files/ but command "svn co https://malwareip.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/malwareip malwareip" does not pull any files? [18:13] Slyboots: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/money-manager-ex-cross-platform-easy-to-use-personal-finance-software.html Mayb this looks better then ? [18:14] AlVal, mmm....i dont' know; it depends, what cpu are you gong to use? [18:14] milamber. i naturally have the hd in primary master. and the cdrom in the secondary slave. with dd. would i connect the spare hdd to the secondary master. and boot up. and run dd? [18:14] AlVal, Thomas_Anderson .. Liquid would be good.. Baby oil or sumit similar.. messy tho if something goes wrong.. believe me,, i know :) [18:14] ZykoticK9: that sounds good to me, but being a noob, where do I start? [18:14] doesnt have to be powerful [18:14] media centre, but the pci-e dvb cards will do the work [18:14] so cpu wont have to do any encoding/decoding or the likes [18:15] so ill get whatever cpuruns coolest [18:15] linux_direction: that is an option for more info on dd, from the terminal: man dd [18:15] pvandewyng: maybe gnome preferences menu -> file management -> media [18:15] barack_osama: The SourceForge 'files' area is separate from the 'svn' area. [18:15] hi [18:15] Danny78, if you've already "installed" xammp i have no idea. Good luck. FYI to install ubuntu's lamp i think you can use "tasksel". [18:15] milamber: and when the copy has been made. i hope to remove the spare or the original. and put it away. till i stuff up my ubu. === me_ is now known as Guest43470 [18:16] Okay. i will go read up on dd. thanks milamber : ) [18:17] how do i solve a problem with a package that is neither fully installed or fully removed? [18:17] sacarlson: I am quite certain that photorec will give me 94141 arbitrarily named files as a last resort ;) - thank you for your time! [18:17] wasutton3-Laptop: rm -R? [18:17] Hi. The brightness of gdm during login on my eee is like "@@@@ you" to my eyes. Anyone knews how to solve this problem? The tip from ubuntu forums (the snailman or something) didn't woked. [18:17] lolcat how does that solve a problem with apt-get? [18:17] linux_direction: *regular* backups are *strongly* recommended. making one snapshot at the beginning won't do you much good if something does go screwy [18:17] Can anyone help me set up a web server in Ubuntu 10.04.1? [18:18] wasutton3-Laptop tried sudo apt-get -f I think it is [18:18] linux_direction: there is no need for dd, you can "cp /dev/whatever /dev/whatever" to duplicate a drive, which is easier to remember/understand [18:18] wasutton3-Laptop: Just apt-get --purge remove then? [18:18] There are so many options, but I just want something straightforward-- built-in lamp, xampp, whatever [18:18] guampa: do you know how to start that from command line, my ubuntu is not in english ? [18:18] Danny78: there is an ubuntu server iso, also ubuntu server support is best found in #ubuntu-server [18:18] Danny78: I can do that === jamfl_ is now known as jalourenco [18:19] Anyone knews the secret to gdm's brightness level manipulation? [18:19] pvandewyng: mine either, it's the nautilus preferences menu too [18:19] thanks again milamber. thanks stew. both these options i have no idea about. but again. thanks for pointing me into the right direction. : ) [18:19] sacarlson: I would greatly appreciate it. Should I use bult-in lamp stack? xampp? [18:19] pvandewyng: edit -> preferences [18:19] Danny78: I see some people have problems with lamp that used to work, maybe just install each one alone [18:20] milamber: I tried Ubuntu server and it couldn't even connect to the internet [18:20] no clue, sorry m8. Anyone need help that is NOT currently undergoing help from someone else? [18:20] oh geust [18:20] sometimes, apt-get downloads two packages at a time, but it happens randomly and rarely - how can I make this permanent? [18:21] sacarlson: In order to do that, I need to uninstall whatever's on here first. That would me mysql(-server), apache2... anything esle you can think of? [18:21] hmmh [18:21] keet: add more sources, or try with a script like apt-fast or something simmilar [18:21] guampa: thanks i found it [18:21] anyone using openvpn - i tried to add new connection, but apply-button is grayed and cannot be clicked [18:21] guest43470 try this: check on your keyboard over your f1, f2, f3 ect keys. You may have an icon looking like a sun/ implying brightness. if you find it with up/down arrows by it, press Fn and then the f key. [18:21] pvandewyng: good! [18:22] Jamesuperfun: super funny. [18:22] lol [18:22] really im trying to help [18:22] some n00bs have NO common sense [18:22] trust me [18:22] Danny78: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server [18:23] Danny78: that will get you a basic LAMP [18:23] milamber: thanks much! [18:24] i once had a guy, said his numpad kept working like arrow keys, and I explained it was because of numlock and he was like; OMG WOW THANKS!!! i spent SO LONG trying to figure that out! ect [18:24] i was likie; n00b get some common sense [18:25] oh found it [18:25] sup [18:26] this MAY or MAY NOT help you guest43470 ok go to system>prefrences>power management and try the brightness settings there [18:26] Jamesuperfun: he/she gone [18:27] Hi folks, I know there is a way to setup sshd to set an environment variable only when somone is logging in via ssh, but I forget how to set it. So that .bashrc or .profile can check if the variable is set and determin if the login is from ssh. Any hints? [18:27] I can control my display like that fine [18:27] ok then [18:27] can anyone else successfully unpack the latest python-minimal package? (python-minimal_2.6.6-2ubuntu2_all.deb) [18:27] anyone else need help? Im bored and not a total n00b [18:27] hi [18:28] Jamesuperfun: Hello, I feel the same way [18:28] lol [18:28] keet: There is also some variable you could set in /etc/apt.conf about how many connections to have... I think the variable is called Queue-Mode or so [18:28] came here to help people and no-one needs help. lol [18:28] i suck with command line though [18:28] Jamesuperfun: edbian: do you have any idea whats going on with my package management issues? [18:28] wasutton3-Laptop: Just got here. What are the issues? [18:29] well if its in terminal then probarbly no [18:29] i suck there but ill try my best [18:29] Jamesuperfun: The terminal is the best. You should really get on that :) [18:29] hehe [18:29] terminal, whatev [18:29] genii-around, thanks [18:29] but i suck and know no commands [18:29] both apt-get and dpkg stall on "unpacking replacement python-minimal" [18:29] EXEPT sudo apt- get [18:29] wasutton3-Laptop: with no errors? [18:30] so whats your issue? [18:30] the package i am using is python-minimal_2.6.6-2ubuntu2_all.deb. pulled from the repositories both via apt-get and manually [18:30] edbian: nope, no errors [18:30] edbian: it just sits there [18:30] where can you find the downlaods for linux-backports-modules-net-xxx packages? [18:30] i got a fully- stable ubuntu and some time on my hands, i can tell you what to do, my pc is powerfull enough- weak point is graphics card/ i3 processor [18:30] trying running it with -V (with is verbose) and see if you can get more info. Is it possible that python-minimal is just taking a long time? [18:31] ok lets see... [18:32] edbian: I dont think so, i let it run a good solid 20 minutes, it doesnt take my computer that long to unpack a new kernel and install it [18:32] I tried here, but can't find any: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-backports/allpackages [18:32] wasutton3-Laptop: Then try again with the -V flag and see if you can get more info [18:32] wasutton3-Laptop: Can you give me an example command that will get stuck on python-minimal. Does it happen no matter what package you install? [18:32] wasutton3-Laptop: how long does it take Your computer uusually? [18:33] ok, i looked at your first comment(I am sorry if i missed a lot, hehe) but first lets se if you can uninstall the package via terminal/ synaptic [18:33] THEN lets see if we can manually uninstall [18:33] edbian: "sudo apt-get install iotop" would be an example, doesnt matter on which package [18:33] then we decide from there [18:33] wasutton3-Laptop: what happens with the -V flag? [18:33] cache_surplus: normally it takes about 5 minutes [18:33] edbian: i am running it now [18:34] ok im gonna find another issue cuz its terminal stuff and im a n00b on that [18:34] Anyone here need some help fixing a problem? [18:34] It's so quite today! [18:34] hello [18:34] hello [18:34] u got an issue that needs fixing [18:34] can i ask a newbie question ? [18:35] yeah [18:35] yeah ;p [18:35] hapsiko: yes [18:35] go ahead we were all once newbies [18:35] including me =P [18:35] so ... im new and im trying to open program with wine [18:35] ahhh [18:35] when im opening it with wine [18:35] wine, the dreaded wine [18:35] nothing happen [18:35] yeah [18:35] why are some still using wine??? [18:35] hapsiko: Have you made it executable ? [18:35] cache_surplus, gaming issues? [18:35] first we need to see if the program is compatible, it may not be [18:35] hapsiko: What app are you tyring to run? [18:36] datacrusher: no [18:36] mostly arent [18:36] wine got me installing my ubuntu three times over [18:36] Visual GameBoy Advance [18:36] so be carefull you dont ruin it [18:36] vba [18:36] dam, i dont know what to do x| [18:36] datacrusher: they cant ween off windows that far, that they have to come crawling back to it to be productive [18:36] its a basic program, so I geuss it would work [18:36] hapsiko: Is that a gameboy advance emulator? Just use the linux version in the repos [18:37] gba emus arnt legal are they? [18:37] its one of the way [18:37] virtual machine windows os's if you cant live without it. [18:37] They are if you own the games. [18:37] but linux verions doesnt have the "speed up" cheat [18:37] wine is so 90's [18:37] hehe i would but my ubuntu would blow up [18:37] plus i got 3 copies of windows dual booted [18:37] Does anyone know the official support channel for openssh-server? [18:37] #openssh-server ? [18:38] ok lets see [18:38] agentgasmask: do a room list search [18:38] I dont have wine installed but i remember a fair bit about it [18:38] first lets do the basic, check your install was ok [18:38] agentgasmask: i pull up the room list, then type, openssh, then down arrow, till you come accross what your looking for [18:38] edbian: i pasted the entire output to http://pastebin.com/m4zViAuz [18:39] under wine, you automatically get a program named 'notepad'. run it, see if it runs [18:39] #openssh is the channel [18:39] cache_surplus: ok, I'll look into that. [18:40] Jamesuperfun: #winehq is the place to ask about wine and support for it [18:40] ok then [18:40] hap try that [18:40] -hapsiko you there? [18:40] yeah [18:40] sorry === radius is now known as Guest70567 [18:40] Try the channel #winehq [18:40] agentgasmask: example today i just typed in /join #eclipse.. there were 150 users there. so i assume thats the right room for eclipse [18:40] i hear thats better [18:41] there is an openssh room, 47 users currently there [18:41] just say /join winehq [18:41] wasutton3-Laptop: no more info than that huh? [18:41] openssh- and openssh_server notta... [18:42] edbian: thats all it gave me. if you tell me what you need, i can go digging around for it [18:42] its prolly #openssh [18:43] wasutton3-Laptop: I am thinking. [18:43] hi [18:43] I wish to add custom voice notifications to my ubuntu os for different instances, like when the power is low, or when the screensaver is going to be enabled, using festival. Where should I add my commands then? [18:44] i want to be able to scan with my desktop user account, but it only works as root even though my user is in the "scanner" group [18:44] how can i find out what device "scanimage" does use? [18:44] wasutton3-Laptop: I'm not sure what's wrong... [18:44] edbian: i know, i have purged the package, tried it on a different machine, it works everywhere except my desktop [18:45] wasutton3-Laptop: [18:45] Did you try [18:45] sudo apt-get -f install ? [18:45] wasutton3-Laptop: Does purging the package also hang? [18:45] hmm why did it make that on three rows :/ === relegated is now known as RelegatedUser [18:46] i purged it by forcibly removing .deb file. the purging with apt-get will also remove my entire GUI and a bunch of other stuff [18:46] Lantchips: because when you paste you paste the enters aswell [18:46] its labelled as an "essential" package [18:46] wasutton3-Laptop: mmmm [18:47] hi [18:47] aeon-ltd: ahh so it does that because I am lazy :) ahh ty ty [18:47] hi [18:47] wasutton3-Laptop: check ur hdd [18:47] andre2010: welcome to ubuntu! is there something we can help you with? [18:47] I want ubuntu to add the noexec flag to all automatically mounted media, how can I do this ? [18:47] wasutton3-Laptop: look at the output of dmesg (although I doubt you'll see anything there) [18:47] !fstab | david506 [18:47] david506: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [19:28] pinPoint, you might want to try "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" and see if it mounts ok [19:29] AbhiJit: thanks.

Dragging and dropping, it says "can't open mountable file" [19:34] pinPoint, no you can't mount a drive, only partitions (sda is a drive, sda1 the 1 is partition) [19:35] ok [19:35] ZykoticK9: sda3 was the cause of the problems since chkdsk in window won't run [19:35] I'm still getting specify the filesystem type with sda3 [19:36] edbian, maxo: found the problem !

[19:47] have you got desktop effects on? [19:47] Jamesuperfun: all turned off [19:47] ok then [19:48] kinabalu: Additional Driver enabled? [19:48] i got a crap intel chipset and mines ok with it on... [19:48] ok lets try this [19:48] red2kic: i ran to find 'em and didn't. [19:48] i WARN YOU this may crash your system but oddly this seems to work sometimes for me [19:48] heh shutdown -h now? :) [19:48] how slow is it? [19:49] Can a daemon be set to run as the login prompt is presented instead of when a user logs in? [19:49] REALLY SLOW or just enough that it irritates you? [19:49] its somewhat *usable* but draggin a window i can see it moving [19:49] it runs fine with Windows on it [19:49] Trash is reporting it has 6 files to delete. When I open the Trash folder, there are no files at all, not even hidden ones. How do I reset the Trash to not report 6 non-existent files? [19:49] because i was gonna suggest turning the effects on. on a lot of games i find that turning up the graphics tends to speed it up a bit. [19:50] how slow? [19:50] Jamesuperfun: heh [19:50] Jamesuperfun: how do I measure it? [19:50] ok [19:50] Jamesuperfun: i can see the window multiple times when dragging it [19:50] try turning effects to medium [19:50] ok [19:50] quite slow [19:50] Jamesuperfun: Searching for available drivers [19:50] Thopter: the applet occasionally gets confused, logging out then back in again will probably fix it [19:51] TRY medium but i CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE if ur comp requires a reinstall of linux [19:51] ok try that ya [19:51] Jamesuperfun: Desktop effects could not be enabled [19:51] ok [19:51] then it seems u need drivers [19:51] since you got ubuntu, have you rebooted? [19:51] #blackberry [19:51] Jamesuperfun: it does that after the install, yes. and I've also rebooted [19:51] like, is this your first use or have you restarted? [19:51] ok [19:52] now go where i say... [19:52] Jamesuperfun: apple.com? :) [19:52] system> Administration>Hardware drivers [19:52] tell me what it says there [19:52] herghost: /etc/rc.local -- Perhaps. [19:53] Jamesuperfun: there's something called Additional Drivers which says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [19:53] ok then [19:53] sorry, what is the make of your chipset?? [19:53] red2kic: thanks [19:54] Jamesuperfun: XGI z7/z9 [19:54] Jamesuperfun: embedded chipset bullshit [19:54] kinabalu: Please mind your language here. [19:54] herghost: Look at "su --help" if you want the daemon to run under your username, not root. [19:54] apologies [19:54] ok === Hekos is now known as hekos [19:54] is Pici a bot? [19:55] you need to go to your manufacturers website and see if u can get a driver for linux [19:55] kinabalu: No. [19:55] kinabalu: No. [19:55] red2kic: thanks again [19:55] hi guys how can I enter a channel? [19:55] just [19:55] say /join (channel [19:55] e.g. [19:55] ehehe thanks [19:55] say: /join Example === Anchor_ is now known as Anchor === Guest32347 is now known as share === share is now known as Guest74016 [19:57] kinabalu are you there? [19:57] I can't get the front audio jacks to work in Ubuntu 10.10 running on Intel DG965RY. Any pointers? [19:57] Jamesuperfun: yeah, having no luck so far [19:57] ok =( [19:58] so ur manufacturer is XGA? [19:58] Jamesuperfun: XGI [19:58] hi everybody .. [19:59] somebody that have installed ubuntu with a ati 9250 ? [19:59] ok, seems they dont have a site/ its not on google [19:59] Jamesuperfun: apparently ATI bought them [19:59] ok [20:00] any idea if SiS or Trident? [20:00] i im tryng to install ubuntu , but dosent work .. now i m installing , but with the onboard video ... [20:00] Jamesuperfun: what's the difference? [20:00] onboard works perfect .. [20:00] well nvm [20:00] I think its SiS [20:00] ok [20:00] in the applications menu, inside, lets say, internet section, if i create a folder, how can I put an icon inlieu of the folder icon? [20:01] instead of the folder i want to see a ray, or ewhatever [20:01] since we cant get a hold of the drivers, there isnt a lot i can do. I have to go, but you should keep searching for the drivers. If you find them for linux/ ubuntu, then install them. That should fix your issue. Also try this: [20:01] have you run the update utility [20:02] After a minimal ubuntu (9.10) install df shows about ~500MB used. Is there a way to reduce that? e.g. /usr/share /usr/src, how do I know if I need that? [20:02] Hello, I have a netbook that I recently upgraded to Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10. It is having some rather odd problems now (with wireless networking and right clicking, and installing drivers), which I think are due to errors during the upgrade (I've run 10.10 on identical hardware without these issues). Is there a way to clean reinstall 10.10 without moving or losing all the files on the computer (especially the home folder files?) [20:02] * tiox reminds people: It's sometimes better to simply reinstall Linux. [20:02] tiox: that ruins all the fun ;P [20:03] somebody with ati problem at install ubuntu 10.10 ? [20:03] OK go to system> Administration > Update manager [20:03] ubuntu 9.04 works .. [20:03] im here === geek is now known as Geek-- [20:03] run it and hope for the best [20:03] but 10.10 dosent work with ati .. even install [20:03] Jamesuperfun: will do, thanks [20:04] Anyone here got an intel 4965 to work on a N network? [20:04] A lot of things tend to be only fixable in terminal, and since I have limited knowledge there, you should ask someone else and tell them what we have tried [20:04] hi all [20:05] hey all.. can anyone tell me why a chmod 777 would only set the file to 755 ? [20:05] no body ati problema ? nobody got ati ? [20:05] Bye, and I wish you the best of luck in fixing your driver problem! =) [20:07] cainus: what filesystem? [20:07] erUSUL: how do I tell? [20:08] cainus: well is you home folder? or a usb disk? [20:08] whatever's standard on ubuntu for amd 64 [20:08] it's on virtualbox [20:08] cainus: can you show the exact command you used and "ls -l file" before and after?

I've loaded up the 10.10 live cd and it doesn't have that directory [20:15] under /cdrom/install it only has mt86plus, README and smb.bin [20:15] twiztid, it's not officially supported on maverick, but I think there are packages here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [20:16] maxo: thx! im on it [20:17] maxo: ok should i use v2.6.37-rc1-maverick/? === geek_ is now known as Geek-- [20:18] anyone know how to get a ralink rt2860 card to work?

[20:21] Is there a way to do a 'clean' reinstall of Ubuntu without losing my home folder files? [20:22] Hi, is it possible to download a file with sftp and disconnect after it has been done?

I just like to send out emails, receiving emails is not neccessary [20:24] brontoeee, is there a way if it is not on a separate partition? or is it easiest to just repartition my drives and move it to a new partition? [20:24] how do i implement a newer kernel? could someone explain it to me? im a good walkthrough'er [20:24] maxo, thanks. [20:25] djhash, just backup your home folder somewhere on external drive maybe [20:25] !kernel | twiztid [20:25] twiztid: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [20:26] Geek--: Did you look at http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1045703 yet?

I can do it that way but just wanted to see if there was another way. Thanks though [20:26] djindy, you should backup in any case [20:26] Anyone need any general troubleshooting? [20:27] djindy, always backup anyway :-) [20:27] maxo: ok and so i run dpkg -i from the folder its in? and will it create its own spot in grub? and do i have to run update-grub? [20:28] Hi, I have this issue with vars and autocomplete in bash. export myvar=/foo/bar; cd $myvar/ doesn't autocomplete. I asked in #bash and they believe it could be a bug, can anyone clear this out ?

[21:17] it compiled with the kernel and everything [21:17] ok [21:17] of the 4 monitors.. only 2 work [21:18] try to find [21:18] if the module is working [21:18] (loaded) [21:18] and the NVIDIA settings manager only shows 1 GPU [21:18] for configure nvidia use [21:18] nvidia-xsettings [21:18] this card has two GPUs [21:18] you need to configure the who GPUs [21:18] on [21:18] xorg [21:18] you have configured only one === axel is now known as TeeWee [21:19] dresiss, i didnt configure anything [21:19] but you need to [21:19] dresiss, its the driver that did all configuration [21:19] configure xorg with the two heads [21:19] ok.. how do I do that? [21:19] the driver [21:19] configured only one gpu === Shy is now known as Branden [21:19] install it like [21:19] two diferent graphic cards [21:19] i'm not sure === d70-betao is now known as adioss [21:20] but i think it would be like tho graphics [21:20] who* [21:20] two** [21:23] I found a tool for making man pages [21:23] name? [21:23] There's a lot of people who have gotten into programming because of Ubuntu's great development environment [21:23] http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/ [21:23] However, making man pages is still hard [21:23] yes, it is [21:24] Most beginners probably want something more readable [21:24] There's really no good guide to making man pages, as I have found from googling... the macros are confusing [21:24] So I found the ronn tool. It turns markdown into man pages [21:24] ohh [21:24] It's written in Ruby, so I don't know if teh Ubunu lords will promote it [21:24] thanks, Spreadsheet [21:24] ! [21:24] How do I run http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ as root?

[21:26] make a launcher [21:26] for the program, and change the command adding gksudo at the start [21:26] dresiss, [21:26] for example, if you want to run firefox, the command is gksudo firefox [21:26] after fresh install 10.10 kernel panic....reinstalled 5 time same thing:Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) any ideas? [21:26] Hi all, using ubuntu 10.10 here, virtual machine 'natted' on a different class, aplied the standard masquerade/forward iptables rules, still the thing doesn't work. I've checked routing tables on vmachine, looks ok, also ip_forward flag is set to 1... I ran out if ideas :D [21:26] PS: yesterday it worked :o [21:26] hey guys why do ppl use ar instead of tar for static libraries? [21:26] nishttal, what? [21:27] does anyone know if there is a simple fix for having to rebuil [21:27] says "Error: Not Root" on launch [21:27] d the nvidia dkms module on kernel upgrade? [21:29] * Nitocris looks around with hope in his eyes [21:30] that's odd [21:31] i was having issues with update-initramfs failing due to lack of space on device [21:31] but my partition had plenty of space [21:31] on a hunch, i removed some old kernels anyway, and it worked fine afterwards [21:31] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) happens after fresh install.cant get around it :( [21:32] which leads me to believe that kernels are picky about where in said partition they can inhabit, though i'm not positive [21:34] Is there any way to change MAC address? [21:35] next [21:36] hidnshadows: I know you can do it in /etc/network/interfaces [21:37] is ubuntu netbook edition also suitable for standard notebook? i have low ram on mine [21:37] carera: sure, should be ok. If you install Ubuntu then install LXDE and use that instead, it will use less RAM [21:37] I am stuck, I loaded ubuntu 10.10 and as it loads for first run the graphics card will not load right. I can see the very top of the desktop and the mouse move around at the top, but the rest is blanked out. using nvidea geforce 8300. anybody seen this before?

I am trying to tar up a bunch of files with spaces in their names, which tar won't like so I need to use quotes. I'm using a while loop to do it, but when I use tar -r or tar -u to add the file, I get the error saying the file doesn't look like a tar file. the file command says it is a tar file. The tar command says it is too and -t and -x work fine on the file, but neither - [21:43] r nor -u work. I found there was an ancient bug in gnu tar which did this, but it was supposedly fixed years ago. Any suggestions? [21:43] GeekSquid: jockey isn't going to install any driver like that. it will just show you what is available if anything. [21:44] tar version is 1.23-2 on ubuntu 10.10 [21:45] any suggestions?

In my article i only use 30 of those 400. I want to extract those into another bibfile containing only the 30. Is there an easy way of doing this or do i have to manually go through all 30 references, locate them in the large bibfile and manually copy them to a new bibfile? [21:47] jldesign, that version is very old; I am not sure whether it is using an up-to-date kernel. Any particular reaosn you are using that version? [21:47] jldesign, oh okay better [21:47] no sorry it was on Ubuntu Serveru 10.10 [21:47] rifter, thx it was on Ubuntu Serveru 10.10 but i have prbleme [21:48] sounds like it is a broadcom nic jldesign [21:48] yes [21:48] rifter, yes [21:48] okay I am not familiar with it right off the top of my head but will see what I can dig up jldesign [21:48] I llove Linux <3 UBUNTU 10.10 ;) THE BEST SYSTEM [21:48] rifter, thanks [21:49] I love XPUD :) [21:49] what's the version name of ubuntu 10.10 ? [21:49] Which file system is recommended for a 32gb flash drive that is reliable on both Window$ and Linux and can handle files over 4gb? [21:50] maverick?

Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [21:50] well jldesign the good news is the bce driver is supposed to support that nic [21:50] thanks. [21:50] KimLaroux: there is only one fs that does that and it's NTFS. [21:50] hey guys, I have a weired sound problem with lucid on msi windbox (no gnome, no pulse), user is not allowed to use the sound device. with sudo alsa force-reload it works for a moment, but not from scripts (eg. start mplayer -ao alsa from a script), user in in group autio. any hints? kinda urgent, sry :/ [21:50] jldesign, what happens when you do lsmod | grep bce [21:51] SwedeMike, Is NTFS now reliably supported under Linux? [21:51] rifter, i don't have the machin now [21:51] phaidros: how is sound urgent? [21:51] i can't test [21:51] phaidros: what is the full make / model of the system? what release are you using? [21:52] phaidros, have you confirmed that the device is owned by that group? [21:52] ack, but php putting the same as banks is kinda wrong, as I can fix my php problems myslf, I cant fix money problems. [21:52] wrong :) [21:52] KimLaroux: yes. [21:52] rifter, give me any idea i will try this tomorow [21:52] SwedeMike, Thanks, I'll try it out =) [21:52] anyone would know why the letter "å" would show up as: "M-CM-%" in terminal? [21:52] KimLaroux: there is no alternative anyway. [21:52] KimLaroux, you get only basic support for free, but that's enough [21:52] jldesign, okay well what I would do then is make sure that is installed.. gimme a sec and I will make sure to find what package it lives in [21:53] ActionParsnip: urgent as in I am sitting via vpn ssh onto a machine which needs to go to production soon :) [21:53] so, nwe install ubuntu 10.10 - says mounted floppy0. i have no floppy... why this here [21:53] Diverdude: possibly here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/417/how-to-split-all-bibtex-referenced-entries-from-a-big-bibtex-database-to-a-copy [21:53] phaidros: ok, can you answer my other querys [21:53] rifter, Ok [21:53] Wribbe, it's a bug in the app which put it, like hunspell [21:53] Sam192384: you probably have your motherboard floppy controller enabled [21:53] rifter: ActionParsnip wait a sec, I am putting all in a pastebin quick [21:54] ActionParsnip: did look at bios and disable all unrequired ports.. [21:54] jldesign, so it doesn't show up in ifconfig at all as an interface right? what have you confirmed about it not working [21:54] ActionParsnip: can i disable? [21:55] feanor2: oh i see, It appears when i try to get gtypist (typing tutor) to include Swedish in its lessons.. Any workaround? [21:55] Sam192384: you could blacklist the floppy module [21:55] ActionParsnip: oooo, how do [21:56] rifter, if i put ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.223 for exemple, i can see the eth0 [21:56] Wribbe, try gui version or another terminal mode [21:56] Sam192384: echo "blacklist floppy" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/floppy.conf reboot to test [21:56] rifter, but there is no ligth on the nic and the PING commande doesn't work [21:56] jldesign, soyou are saying when you do ifconfig with no arguments or ifconfig -a it does show eth0? [21:56] yes [21:57] rifter, yes* [21:57] jldesign, see ifconfig will show you what nic it has associated with it [21:57] ActionParsnip, rifter: http://paste.org/pastebin/view/26933 [21:57] jldesign, you need to make sure you are using the right interface [21:57] hello, i am going to delete ubuntu 32 bit and put 64, will my grub be crushed? [21:57] rifter, yes i am sur a bout the interface [21:57] jldesign, if the nic shows up there properly that means the driver part is working and you have another problem, but you need to make sure that eth0 is the nic/port you think it is [21:58] rifter: ActionParsnip, added the mplayer error on the bottom [21:58] rifter, i trind bouth eth0 and eth1 [21:58] rifter, look at this http://blog.akkaya.de/jpabel/2010/01/22/NetXtreme-II-BCM5716-on-Ubuntu-8-04 [21:58] rifter: ActionParsnip, alsa force-reload helps only for short or one time .. very strange [21:58] hi there, i've been getting a red triangle in my systray warning me i need to update, but i did numerous times, and it keeps sitting there, unless i open it like a gazillion times, any fix? [21:58] rif his support that the nic can work on Ubuntu Server 8.04 === Guest78773 is now known as share [21:59] rifter, his support that the nic can work on Ubuntu Server 8.04 [21:59] see ifconfig will show the mac address of the nic like this (except I blotted out my mac address with question marks) HWaddr ??:??:??:??:??:?? === share is now known as Guest9994 [21:59] yes you are correct jldesign [21:59] feanor2, really like the terminal version though.. (is there even a GUI version?), but the terminal have no problem showing åäö otherwise.. [21:59] phaidros: what is the full model? [22:00] ActionParsnip: msi windbbox 220 or alike [22:00] ActionParsnip: msi windbox 220 or alike [22:00] Wribbe, the app used a special code to put a letter in a certain place on the screen, but the terminal misinterpreted it [22:00] rifter, my plan is to install Ubuntu server 8.04 tomorow [22:00] rifter, but i am looking for aother advice [22:00] what an idiotic idea [22:00] feanor2, ah I see, how do I change the terminalmode? (new to linux overall, thanks for the help so far!) [22:00] jldesign: 8.04? hopelessly outdated [22:00] hi there, i've been getting a red triangle in my systray warning me i need to update, but i did numerous times, and it keeps sitting there, unless i open it like a gazillion times, any fix? [22:01] jldesign, and if it is showing up in ifconfig it is being supported .. but you can confirm the mac address elsewhere like on the card or something.. let me look some more right quick and give you more stuff to try. also make sure you have a known good network cable (that is, one that worked on another machine) just to eliminate that. [22:01] hi ever since maverick came out and I updated I can't connect to internet via my mobile phone. I used to connect via bluetooh establish a dun connection and then I could connect from network manager. Everything goes ok with the bluetooth the connection is made and then NetworkManager doesn't see anything...what can I do? [22:01] Wribbe, if that is GUI terminal, you may have mode selection in its options [22:01] mmdadawow: get rid of non working update sources, as those unupdateable block the refhres of the sign [22:01] ActionParsnip: any idea? I am stuck, rly [22:01] phaidros: lemme c [22:02] phaidros, i will make apt-get update [22:02] rifter, ok , and i have a good cable [22:02] feanor2, I'll check~ [22:02] phaidros: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh thanks [22:02] I can't find a good way to setup dual monitors with the nvidia proprietary drivers installed, and I can't use the open source drivers since they don't have enough functionality yet, and I've already tried using twinview, but it makes a huge rectangle instead of matching the size of my lower resolution monitor [22:03] anonymous57: nvidia-settings manages dualheadding [22:03] I can't find the icon for Mozilla Thunderbird. When I add it to Cairo-Dock, I get the icon for a stamp or something, and not the Thunderbird logo. [22:03] Where is the icon for it located? [22:03] phaidros: how can i make the triangle appear again (if it still can after this)? [22:03] Snakkah: thats your icon theme [22:04] mmdadawow: it will come when updates are there [22:05] ActionParsnip: I have tried going into nvidia-settings, but twinview makes both monitors as 1, but my second monitor has a different height in pixels, so it draws offscreen, which is undesired [22:05] phaidros: normally when there are updates it just opens the update manager [22:05] ActionParsnip: Floppy0 - umm.. i did command but nothing returned.. [22:05] anonymous57: the nvidia settings app works with the proprietary drivers [22:05] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7889f9134d925fa397c1de6f3a9f3f22d55a6a05 [22:06] ActionParsnip: another hint please.. [22:06] ActionParsnip: btw, worked out of the box in maverick, but maverick had shortcomings so that I had to kick it last minute :/ [22:06] ActionParsnip: i know the settings gui works, but it's not setting it up properly, i can move my cursor OFF THE SCREEN on my smaller monitor [22:07] phaidros: see how the driver is a different version to the library and such, that'll cause issues. run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudp apt-get -y upgrade [22:07] ActionParsnip: what will be pulled from that repo? [22:07] only alsa? [22:07] Can I make an application launcher start a script in a specific directory? or do I need to modify my script to explicitly change directories where it belongs? [22:07] i have two identical laptops (new from dell) with 9.04, on one 'sudo aptitude install smbfs' works, on the other it says the packaged is not found? [22:08] jldesign, now lspci will show you explicitly what nic device shows up and will show a name and a device number like this: 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) [22:08] i need the smbfs because (it seems) whatever 9.04 came with can not mount an iso (via samba) read only [22:08] Hello, please help me if you know how to change gcc's built-in spec? [22:08] uzi__: you can't, it's a compile time option [22:09] uzi__: what do you want to change ?~ [22:09] ActionParsnip: i know the settings gui works, but it's not setting it up properly, i can move my cursor OFF THE SCREEN on my smaller monitor [22:09] resixian: an iso via samba ? [22:09] jldesign, then if you do grep eth0 /var/log/dmesg you will see the lines where the driver initiates the interface. This line you are looking for: [ 1.304622] sky2 0000:08:00.0: eth0: addr 00:22:15:01:cf:5b [22:09] Dracofodder: I'd modify the script personally [22:10] ikonia: yeah, i mount 10.10 on a samba server [22:10] How do you change the time zone you're in when using the server version? [22:10] resixian: what command are you using ? [22:10] ActionParsnip: thanks, I was a little hesitant to do that... its the startup for ps3mediaserver. but, ok. will do that.. thanks! [22:10] jldesign, as you can see the last part, the 08:00.0 in this case is the number in lspci, which confirms that eth0 is that device [22:10] hi [22:10] ikonia: sudo aptitude install smbfs [22:10] ActionParsnip: what will be pulled from that repo? [22:10] anonymous57: no idea mate, you could run: gksudo nvidia-settings and set the resolutions, save the X settings then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually edit the screen [22:10] resixian: no, I mean to mount the iso [22:11] ActionParsnip: could be the version diff ,because I installed backported alsa modules from lucid repo? [22:11] ikonia: sudo mount -v -t ///ubuntu /mnt/ugs -o username=foo,ro [22:11] phaidros: alsa 1.0.23 for all 3 and wil make them all the same version [22:11] ActionParsnip: ok ill try to manually edit xorg.conf, thanks [22:11] ikonia: but this is not the problem, it works for 2/3 laptops [22:11] anonymous57: thats all I can advise [22:11] ActionParsnip: I really wonder the version diff ,because all is stock install .. well, nvm, I pull the ppa in now :) [22:11] ikonia: the same executable gives different values (when run with -print-sear-dirs) when in ubuntu and in chroot'ed environment. [22:11] resixian: errr thats a remote network device, of course you'll need samba fs [22:11] ikonia: after i install smbfs, but on laptop 3/3 i can't install smbfs [22:12] uzi__: of course it will [22:12] resixian: what is the error when you try to install smbfs [22:12] I am trying to compile kernel 2.6.35.4 .... I need help of an expert user [22:12] ikonia: they it changes, it's not built-in, isn't it? [22:12] jldesign, this way you can actually make sure eth0 is the device you think it is. I wonder though because the connect light should come on no matter what if al teh hardware is working. The activity light should shine when there is activity. sometimes these leds don't work right which is frustrating. Is this a nic that is integrated into the motherboard or a card? if it is integrated there may be a bios option to enable it or not. [22:12] But if it is showing up in lspci, then it is enabled, obviously [22:12] ikonia: it changes* [22:12] uzi__: it is built in as you asked for the SPEC, which is built in [22:13] I'm having trouble getting windows to recognize a device formatted to NTFS with MD-DOS partition table, that was formatted in ubuntu [22:13] ikonia: its not found [22:13] ActionParsnip: well .. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

[22:17] rifter, do you think that i should send back the server to dell support [22:17] spencer__: it's easier to put NTFS on from within windows though [22:17] rifter, i mean garantie [22:17] jldesign, no just call them and they should help you [22:17] anonymous57: use aptitude or synaptic [22:17] jldesign, however do the steps I ghave first to make sure it is being recognized [22:17] jldesign, and that it really is eth0 [22:17] ikonia: the problem is that gcc never finds cc1, and its because the built-in spec is always pointing to the wrong place. [22:17] ikonia well then I did something wrong, because windows won't even recognize it. I dbanned it, so there really isn't any way for me to format it from windows, short of using an xbox 360 [22:17] i have 32 bit ubuntu and need to install 64, how can i do it? [22:18] anonymous57: lol, never heard that one before [22:18] uzi__: cc1 ? [22:18] How can I download an html5 video from youtube? [22:18] ikonia: but aptitude and synaptic both rely off of apt-get so they wont work either [22:18] This is annoying :P [22:18] ikonia: yes, cc1. [22:18] anonymous57: download the deb and use dpkg [22:18] uzi__: what do you mean cc1 ? [22:18] Oky i will try ubuntu 8.04 server and i will seey [22:18] ikonia: http://pastie.org/1429598 [22:18] ikonia: and crtBegin.o too. [22:18] jldesign, if it is not you can search for eth in that dmesg log and you will find the other interfaces too; you can also explicitly search for eth1 etc [22:18] E: Couldn't find package alsa-driver [22:18] ActionParsnip: E: Couldn't find package alsa-driver [22:18] Is btrfs with compression usable on Lucid? I'm not intending to put significant data into that btrfs partition that I want to create, but does it mostly work, or is it horribly broken? [22:19] but dpkg was an unneeded dependency of apt-get, so it removed that also [22:19] ikonia: but like i said, smbfs is the package i need. [22:19] rifter, ok [22:19] uzi__: .o files, objects ? what is it you're actually trying to do, (end goal) [22:19] ikonia: nevertheless same message for smbfs [22:19] will you here tomorrow [22:19] With flash-nonfree, there used to be a /tmp/Flashxxxxx file saved but now with html5 youtube videos, this seems to be not the case. Where does it store it's tmp vids to? [22:19] ikonia: cc1, the gcc backend executable. [22:19] rifter, will you here tomorrow [22:19] jldesign, tell them all these steps, that should satisfy them. If it doesn't they will tell you what will :D [22:19] rifter, i mean connected [22:19] like its not found, even though i have installed it on 2/3 same laptops (new from dell) [22:19] uzi__: cc1 is not the backend executable, gcc is the executable [22:19] ikonia: but dpkg was an unneeded dependency of apt-get, so it removed that also [22:19] jldesign, yep I will be here.. call me by name and I will be sure to pay attention to the channel I am not always watching [22:20] i have 32 bit ubuntu and need to install 64, how can i do it? [22:20] rifter, :) [22:20] anonymous57: shouldn't have done [22:20] stefanos: clean install [22:20] anonymous boot from liveCD [22:20] rifter, ok [22:20] resixian: smbfs is in cifs-utils [22:20] anonymous57 boot from live cd, sorry bout that [22:20] rifter, thanks [22:20] ikonia, did understand you... [22:20] jldesign, now Dell will want you to have access to the box so you can do steps if they don't like ours [22:20] ikonia: on my other 2 'sudo aptitude install smbfs' just worked [22:20] !cc1 [22:20] stefanos: you need to download ubuntu 64bit version and install the operating system in place of 32bit [22:21] resixian: are they both running the same version of ubuntu [22:21] ikonia: yes [22:21] jldesign, but their server guys should be able to do linux now and I think they do ubuntu there now. They use dto do redhat and may still use it as well, I dunno [22:21] ikonia: well, they were. they are both now updating (from the samba mounted 10.10 cd) [22:21] How can I download youtube videos? youtube-dl and the traditional programs are not working but no file is stored in /tmp/Flashxxxx. How can I download youtube html5 videos? [22:21] uzi__: why don't you tell me what you're actually trying to do [22:21] spencer: i dont have a livecd anymore and i dont have any iso burning programs so how can i boot from the livecd? [22:21] ikonia, yes downloaded but need to delete 32? format the partition? will grub be destroied? [22:21] stefanos: correct [22:22] soreau: there are plugins for browser to download the video [22:22] rifter, they porposse RedHat and Suse as OS during the installation [22:22] ikonia: all 3 of these were ordered from dell with ubuntu installed (uname -a, lsb-release matched for all) [22:22] resixian: please do "sudo apt-get update", what happens [22:22] ikonia: i just did, i want to adjust gcc's built-in spec (somehow) so that it finds cc1. [22:22] ikonia, will grub be destroied? [22:22] uzi__: you can't do that, so why don't you tell me what you're actually trying to do with gcc [22:22] phaidros: this is the repo: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable [22:22] stefanos: yes [22:22] anonymous57 it's called a library, your town probably has one, and they might just let you use their computer to burn one [22:22] stefanos: the 64bit version will re-install it [22:22] phaidros: looks like s/he has dropped lucid :( [22:23] spencer: ugh i cant apt-get install any burning programs so how can i get a livecd? and im not allowed to leave my house now since im supposed to be doing homework === RaNdY is now known as Guest64942 [22:23] ok how do I restart a program like empathy without rebooting? [22:23] ActionParsnip: yeah, saw it too [22:23] in shell [22:23] phaidros: could use this: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/04/17/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/ [22:23] ActionParsnip: what now? [22:23] ikonia: w00t [22:23] ActionParsnip: ok [22:23] finds it now.. === Koopa516 is now known as Pythonic[AWAY] [22:23] anonymous57 well than wait until tomorrow, and use your school's computer. Or use your mom's or dad's [22:23] resixian: out of date cache file [22:24] hi ... I am have compiled kernel 2.6.35.4 .... and am trying to boot from it .... it says device / not found or not ready after booting into it ... when i skip it says /tmp not found or not ready after booting into it .... I am using a wubi over win ... I saw on the forums mentioning something about giving UUID to the boot parameters ... I dont seem to proceed after that... [22:24] anonymous57 that's really all you can do [22:24] ikonia: thanks for trying to help. i think i'll just dig into gcc source and find out. [22:24] ikonia: well ty [22:24] iitg-cs-grad: custom kernels are not supported [22:24] jldesign, well since you're doing a new install it's not as bad to have to use that if necessary to satisfy them, but I think these steps should do enough. Their diagnostic cds don't require the OS. If you don't have them, I think you might be able to download or get them. You might try them as well and see if the nic test does an actual connection test. tell them the connect light is not on that is an important indicator. Basicla [22:24] ly do the stuff I told you and tell them what you did and you shoudl be good [22:24] uzi__: it's a compile time option. [22:24] i have php on my server.. if i have a test php page in /var/www it works, if its in another folder, the browser tries to download the file.. why? [22:24] uzi__: you don't need to go into the source [22:24] ikonia, thank you [22:24] ActionParsnip: are you sure, compiling is the only way out of this mess? actually it is a stock lucid install from this afternoon o.O [22:24] ikonia: shouldn't 'reload' on synaptic have fixed that? [22:24] uzi__: however you would need to recompile gcc to change the spec path [22:24] resixian: depends [22:24] resixian: most of the time, yes [22:24] spencer: well we only have one computer in our house, and i wont have time at school, and the library doesnt have computers [22:25] anonymous57: then we can't help [22:25] anonymous57: you'll have to wait until you can get access to a recovery cd [22:25] ikonia: then whats the option to change it? [22:25] anonymous57 wait until the weekend? or have one of your friends burn you one [22:25] phaidros: the versions need to match as far as I am aware, it's not hard and is [pretty much spelled out for you in that guide [22:25] uzi__: do you mean the compile time option ? [22:25] ikonia: yes. [22:25] rifter, yes this is the bad signal the connect light is not on [22:25] spencer: i dont have any friends :'( [22:25] uzi__: let me see if I have a note [22:25] anonymous57: then we can't help [22:26] ActionParsnip: machine is slow, and install on sd card, installing takes ages and compining .. argh .. even dunno if there is enlough space for build-essentials .. [22:26] anonymous57 then you're pretty much out of luck, maybe you should go outside and take a walk or soemthing [22:26] ikonia: so since i dont have any friends, you cant help me?! [22:26] hello, does anyone know how I can put the "System" and "Places" tabs on my menu bar? [22:26] spencer: im not allowed to go outside [22:26] anonymous57 Do you live under a bridge? [22:27] anonymous57: if you can't get access to a recovery CD, we can't help [22:27] he could make a bootable usb image [22:27] spencer: no, but im not going to tell you where i live just so you can tell me how to fix my computer that i cant install any programs on [22:27] recovery cd? like an install cd?

[22:28] ikonia & spencer: thank you for your help [22:28] Fun fact: apt-get doesn't autoremove dependent packages if they're marked as essential. [22:28] uzi__: the spec file is modified within the source, I normally do it by a patch (just dug out the patch) [22:28] battlehands: it's a package for an alternative/condensed menu [22:29] rww: but i marked those dependent packages as not essential [22:29] anonymous57: The "Essential" flag of a package is not a user-changeable thing. Goodbye now. [22:29] ilovefairuz, is that package what I have installed? [22:29] ikonia: would be so kind to share it, or at least tell me which files? [22:30] uzi__: /gcc/config/alpha/gnu.h [22:30] rww: but i recompiled part of the OS so that it is user changeable [22:30] battlehands: nope, not installed by default, you have to install it and add it to the panel [22:30] rww thank you [22:30] uzi__: change alpha for your arch [22:30] ilovefairuz, or is it a link or terminal command to lead me to a download for that menu? [22:31] ikonia: already figured =) [22:31] battlehands: the command is: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu [22:31] ilovefairuz, so was there a link in your response or a terminal command to download? [22:31] ilovefairuz, ok, thanks [22:32] feanor2, poked around in the helpfile (for the 100'th) time, and there it was.. export LANG=sv in the terminal solved it all, thanks a bunch!

I have a problem with Ubuntu after resuming from hibernating. The PC gets stuck. [22:39] ok, stupid question, but I have to ask before I give up: Assuming you were working on a document within a live-cd environment on a flahs drive and you had spent a lot of time on it, regularly saving it to my documents. Then, you do something stupid like pull the plug accidentally, and when you boot the live-cd flash drive back up and everything is returned to default and no files are in my documents. Is there any chance to reco [22:39] ver the lost doucment? [22:39] myrti_: Nope... [22:39] See, the document was saved on RAM. [22:40] ArkBlitz: perhaps you could be more informative? "gets stuck" is rather vague. [22:40] lol [22:40] myrti_: swap on hd? [22:40] Gnea: "Get stuck" means "the computer shows the desktop but does not react at all" [22:40] myrti_: well you could try foremost [22:40] shcherbak, yes, but I'm not sure it ever managed to load the drive.. the drive is broken and only partially functional. Which is why I'm running on live-cd until the new drive arrives [22:41] myrti_: so depending on the filesystem in use, yes, it's possible to recover [22:41] Gnea, foremost is a recovery system? would I use athat on the internal drive or on the flash drive? [22:41] Is there an official channel for the Upstart project? [22:41] myrti_: whichever drive you attempted to save the document to, of course [22:42] myrti_: if not foremost, photorec [22:42] gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ubuntu/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ubuntu) [22:42] TestDisk also does it. PhotoRec is part of it. [22:42] that's RAM, no? [22:42] ArkBlitz, ah, testdisk.. I know my way around with that one [22:42] FUSE? Most probably yes... [22:42] thanks, I'll try [22:42] myrti_: Gnea: Since the file was (most likely) never written to disk, but only to RAM, there is nothing that foremost or photorec can do to bring it back from the ether. [22:42] Jordan_U, they should invent something that does :p [22:42] ArkBlitz: then you should try booting the system so that you can see what's being logged at the time [22:43] I can boot it, but I can't read the logs because the computer freezes! [22:43] anyone need any general troubleshooting? it seems pretty quiet now but still [22:43] Jordan_U, but if it's RAM there's little point in trying.. I just wasn't sure whether stuff was stored in RAM only for the profile or also on the flash drive/ hard drive [22:43] Is there a way to keep them in a file or something? [22:43] Jordan_U: good point, but if it was written and the flash drive happened to incur some bad inodes, then there's still a possibility [22:43] spencer__: I'm working with a hibernation issue. [22:43] spencer__: if people need help, they will ask for it [22:44] root_op: #upstart , but as it is a Canonical project it can be supported here [22:44] GeekSquid: no it can't [22:44] spencer__: you think this is quiet? [22:44] ArkBlitz mind if I PM you? [22:44] i [22:44] GeekSquid: this channel supports ubuntu, [22:44] No prob! [22:44] hi [22:44] hi [22:44] ArkBlitz: you can't boot a livecd on it, mount the filesystem and read the logs that way? [22:44] Gnea I've been in here where there were about 100 active chatters. like, talking a lot. Yeah, this is quiet [22:44] ActionParsnip: I have updated alsa now all same version, problem persists: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh [22:44] Is abiword or openOffice Writer the best? [22:44] ?? [22:45] erkan^: OpenOffice on my opinion. [22:45] erkan^: depends, for most I like abiword [22:45] AbiWord is still too buggy! [22:45] (-: [22:45] phaidros: AbiWord is light. [22:45] ArkBlitz: dont think so :) [22:45] yes right indd lol [22:45] spencer__: is that a fact? huh, I guess the guidelines don't cover that then, do they? [22:45] phaidros: Then my computer is crappy... [22:45] ikonia: upstart is a major part of ubuntu now ... hence this http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [22:46] I often use openOffice Writer (-: [22:46] ArkBlitz: dont think its buggy, agree it is light ;) [22:46] !best | erkan^ [22:46] erkan^: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

How do I make it accessible to everyone (safely) [22:47] spencer__: at any rate, if you've been around this long, then you should know by now that you don't need to ask such a question in here, just jump in and answer if you happen to know [22:47] root_op: is this on an ubuntu system? [22:47] I'm trying to choose between systemd, launchd and Upstart. [22:47] No, it's not an Ubuntu system.

[23:03] tensorpudding: Support for Mac OSX (coming soon!) it said on the webpage [23:03] hello [23:03] guampa: yeah [23:03] hi [23:04] ActionParsnip: have to wait until tomorrow, then someone gives me ubuntu 10.10 [23:04] now i see what he was up to with "stream sound over ssh" [23:04] trench: i thought OSX was the client [23:04] sound problem with 8086:27d8, any help [23:04] but i think, the 265 mb ram is a little tiny for that [23:04] strange enaught, that ubuntu 9.04 live cd works [23:04] anyone in 8th grade math doing equations [23:04] daapd would run on the linux box, and iTunes supports it [23:05] i've set it up before [23:05] zanadu: wrong channel [23:05] you want #math [23:05] I'm trying to add an Alt Gr key to the Mac keyboard I'm using as it's missing one. With xmodmap I can run "keycode 134 = ISO_Level3_Shift", however this will only last until the end of the X session or another keyboard layout is selected in the Gnome keyboard configuration dialogue. How do I make this permanent? [23:05] okay, but 5mb free memory after boot ;D [23:05] tensorpudding: trench: mt-daapd [23:05] huh\ [23:05] tensorpudding: then it should work :) [23:06] SQUEEEE: put the xmodmap line in a file called .xmodmap in your $HOME/ directory [23:06] in any case, I would think that it would run on OSX too, since it says "support for unix/POSIX" platforms, and OSX would fit that description [23:06] SQUEEEE: should be read by gnome upon login... [23:07] Egyptian1019: what kind of hardware? [23:07] oi [23:07] SQUEEEE: the file should probably be called .xmodmaprc [23:08] edijel: what's up? :) [23:08] All right, I'll try that, thanks epl [23:08] testing [23:08] 1 2 3 [23:08] thanks [23:09] yw === petr is now known as _bro [23:10] can i just plop the .iso on the usb or do i need to do something with it? [23:11] I installed ubuntuone in windows, it works fine [23:11] trench: can i just plop the .iso on a thumbdrive? [23:11] neverender_: use unetbootin or the 1-2-3 installer from pendrivelinux [23:12] neverender_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ use this [23:12] Problem: Plymouth doesn't work anymore for me. It's a black screen until login. And it used to work. === warren is now known as Guest75870 [23:12] I currently have two hard drives one with Windows XP and was trying to install Ubuntu on a seperate HD but after installation when it begins to boot I get a blinking cursor for an infinite amount of time.

[23:14] ArkBlitz: did you recently install nvidia drivers? [23:14] No, but I recently changed /etc/default/grub [23:15] The following two lines: [23:15] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash profile pciehp.pciehp_force=1" [23:15] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="splash nomodeset" [23:15] i keep this one bookmarked for similar problems: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [23:15] The "splash" should work but doesn't. [23:16] ArkBlitz: i use: [23:16] can't say i know much about grub2 [23:16] ArkBlitz: === randy is now known as Guest9777 [23:16] ArkBlitz: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [23:16] ArkBlitz: tells the boot to use the fb driver which loads fast [23:16] Will check. And, how did you guess my gpu is a radeon? [23:17] ArkBlitz: it happens with the proprietary drivers [23:17] Which I don't use! [23:17] Because I can't install them! [23:17] The Radeon 9600 is deprecated. [23:17] And therefore has no support for Linux. [23:17] is there anying games i can put on ubuntu 8.1 [23:17] I have a strange keyboard issue with a compaq laptop Presario F700... All keys work except left and right arrows, Home, End, P_up, P_dn, tried evtest to see if anything on those keys come up on any event# and I get nothin, anybody seen this before? [23:18] ArkBlitz: freaky, i use it even on my crappy lappy which uses intel. It's in my post install script to auto setup :) [23:18] got lots of games but there for windows [23:18] Guest75870: it all depens on your hw [23:18] Guest75870: look for games that support Ubuntu [23:18] there are some [23:18] or try wine [23:18] Strangely enough, the FGLRX refuses to install properly on my system. [23:19] Guest75870: penumbra is good (demo is free but is paid for software), Urban Terror rocks if you like counterstrike and the like [23:19] ArkBlitz: with radeon 9x, i'm fairly sure the open-source driver supports hardware acceleration [23:19] Guest75870: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games [23:19] Guest75870: that version of ubuntu is waaaay beyond support, reccommend getting yourself a newer version [23:19] anybody here have any experience with wpa_cli? [23:19] ArkBlitz: I avoid ati, nvidia support is second to none so they get my money [23:19] tensorpudding: That's what I'm using right now. [23:20] so you don't need the fglrx driver [23:20] he could use cedega too [23:21] but he ran away :) [23:24] how can i make it so that kernel updates do not appear in the updates? [23:24] i don't want to install anything that necessitates a boot [23:25] tappi: problem is you could end up installing something that requires the newer kernel, then things break without the newer kernel [23:25] cant you install them and just not reboot [23:25] tappi: Technically you don't need to reboot... [23:26] ...until you need something needed by the new kernel, that is. [23:26] tappi: you can install the new kernel, you will simply be informed you need to rebooot but you can tell it you don't want to [23:26] Unlike Windoze! Yay! [23:27] hooray for treating users like adults [23:27] actually i heard about some new technology about a year ago that would let linux swap kernel versions at runtime [23:27] tappi - you could try out ksplice too [23:28] Windoze: YES I DO KNOW I HAVE TO REBOOT BUT CAN'T YOU PLEASE LET ME FINISHING THIS PLEASE?!!!! [23:28] !caps | ArkBlitz [23:28] ArkBlitz: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:28] Ubuntu: Oh fine. Whenever you can! [23:28] yeah ksplice that was it trench [23:28] Gnea: Was for drama. Sorry. [23:28] ArkBlitz: you can change the local policy in windows to not re-ask to reboot until 24 hours later ;) [23:28] connect irc.freenode.net [23:28] ArkBlitz: this is a drama-free zone, kthx. [23:28] Kenzor: yeah.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tag/ksplice-ubuntu [23:28] ActionParsnip: Forrealz?

Could this be a problem with 10.10 would you recommend going back to 10.04? this is my first installation of ubuntu [23:34] Egyptian1019: how did you setup your grub? [23:34] Egyptian1019: is this a dual boot system? [23:34] KM0201: yeah [23:34] KM0201: xp and ubuntu [23:35] sorry im completely new to this but i followed the cd setup and that was about it. And ya its two hardrives one for xp and one for ubuntu [23:35] hmm.. is he getting the "blinking cursor" after he selects one of the OS's? or both? [23:35] just when ubuntu is selected [23:35] I am able to boot into xp [23:35] Egyptian1019: are you sure you're giving ubuntu enough time to boot? [23:35] ActionParsnip what happens when new software comes that needs the new kernel? [23:36] Egyptian1019: i cuz i know there's been some "usplash" bugs(ie, the graphic you see while the OS is loading).. and it may look like its not doing anything, and you just see a black screen [23:36] tappi: you may get issues but your system should have a mainenance window where it is ok to reboot [23:36] do you get any errors or warnings Egyptian1019? like clocksource tsc unstable [23:36] why can't i have the cake and eat it too [23:36] Egyptian1019: whenever I setup a dualboot system with a dedicated hdd for each os, i let each drive contain it's own clean boot sector, not being aware of the other OS, there's much discussion about why to do this, but I won't get into it. the way you select between boot drives then is by your motherboard [23:36] i want the updates but i can't reboot :P [23:37] no its just a cursor blinking on a black screen [23:37] Egyptian1019: hit escape when you see that cursor, and see if it displays text of what is going on [23:37] ok let me try that now [23:37] ActionParsnip: uptime 567 days on a box with ksplice :) [23:37] i need help [23:37] how can i remove that annoying message that states i need to reboot from the ssh motd [23:37] Egyptian1019: hold shift at boot and press E on the kernel, you can then add the nomodeset boot option [23:38] Ubunter: just ask your question and if someone can answer, they will [23:38] i hate it when people try linux for the first time and stumble on some serious bug :( [23:38] Ubunter - then ask your question and someone will most likely help you [23:38] trench: nice, not aware of ksplice though [23:38] Hi what version of the GPL is Ubuntu Under?

[23:40] Once i hit the "Preparing to install" It doesnt do anything? i hit forward and it just keeps loading thing on my mouse [23:40] ActionParsnip: we pay for it at work to support the prosject [23:40] project even [23:40] it's not that rebooting itself was costly [23:40] No im not getting a grub menu at all. Did i need to set that up during installation? [23:40] Does anyone know how I can find out where my bluetooth device is? [23:40] it's that in order to reboot i need to contact a person running the virtual servers [23:40] /dev/??? [23:40] I select the harddrive to boot to through the motherboard [23:40] iv eran Ubuntu 9.Somthing AND 10.04 and now i try installing the new one and it loads up and stuff but Once i hit the "Preparing to install" It doesnt do anything? i hit forward and it just keeps loading thing on my mouse [23:40] because they have a hack, and it doesn't reboot automatically [23:40] Egyptian1019: it should have done it during installation... you said you're running two hard drives, right? [23:40] Egyptian1019: yeah because you want to boot both drives === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [23:41] Egyptian1019: do you know how to change your boot sequence in the BIOS? [23:41] yes [23:41] what order should i have them boot [23:42] Egyptian1019: whichever hard rive is currently "second" change it to first [23:42] you might have put grub on the wrong disk.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:44] Ubunter: you trying it with software senter?

Once it asks me if I want to try ubuntu or install it if I just X out of the installation it loads ubuntu. but without the cd is when it gives me the blinking cursor [23:48] Guest15675: because your issues are not support related, and as stated, this si a support channel, not a discussion channel [23:48] !guidelines | Guest15675 [23:48] Guest15675: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:48] its currently waiting at the blinking screen but its only been about 30 seconds [23:49] trench: im running the linux mind live cd.

How do I change mirror/update other way? [23:49] Guest15675: "Which distro is 'best'" is off-topic. This is a high-volume channel so off-topic chatter is discouraged.
