[00:02] trench: the installer says it made the MD array. I used it to make the array (alternate CD) [00:02] trench, used to work on win xp back in the day === plusfags is now known as plustax [00:03] Philip__ you saw it make the partiotions too? [00:03] ubuntu server or debian lenny server for a home file server? [00:03] hippytaff: new users or advance user? [00:03] newish [00:03] hippytaff: if new user then ubuntu [00:03] trench: yes. I did it with both the alternate CD's installer, and the desktop CD's Disk utility to make the RAID array. No cigar [00:03] how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it? [00:04] !changelog [00:04] changelogs for Ubuntu packages can be found on http://changelogs.ubuntu.com [00:04] samba or nfs?

[00:06] for a 4.1inch touchscreen [00:06] trench: the missus has xp and she needs to access the files...I've found a windows nfs client but maybe samba is easier? I have no experince with this [00:07] hippytaff: install samba [00:07] trench!@ [00:07] trench! [00:07] nimrod10: your welcome trench: could you try to put things on one line, instead of splitting it? this is a rather large channel and things like that really help to keep it cleaner and more effecient [00:07] trech: cheers [00:08] oh man, I've just elevated tech support to level 2 (#ubuntu+1) I'm going to get banned for sure [00:08] the current ui doesn't look that good on this screen [00:08] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm05cNBJQ8w [00:08] hippytaff: if you have any problems install swat and try making the samba.conf file [00:08] but disable swat afterwords [00:09] Ubunter: yes? :) [00:09] I NEED HELP PLEASE: Im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a CD 32bit and right when I hit the "Preparing to install" spot it just freezes and keeps loading.. but nothing happend [00:09] trench: thanks for the advice...never heard of swat...will look into it...thanks [00:09] trench: use a comma (,) instead of hitting enter before buts please. [00:09] NixGeek: sorry sir === nikolei is now known as alexlea [00:10] Ubunter: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you burn the CD slowly? Did you test the CD for defects once booted to?

[00:11] Ubunter: like i told you use the http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ tool and use a usbkey === Guest41089 is now known as _bro [00:11] trench ill try [00:12] brb [00:12] !md5 | Ubunter [00:12] Ubunter: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:12] ActionParsnip: easier for people to use the usb device [00:13] hippytaff: one has GeForce 6250 onboard, one has SiS some onboard thing, lappy has Intel 965GL or somesuch [00:13] I want to install maverick onto a RAID1 array. I followed the Software RAID guide, but after creating the array (alternate CD), the installer says there's no / partition to install to. Any ideas? [00:13] Hi [00:13] trench: people were using CDs to install way before USB, plus not ALL BIOSes can boot USB [00:13] Awwww, dang. SiS onb oard video rears it ugly head. [00:13] trench: its not any easier or harder to make a bootable CD than a bootable USB [00:14] on board, even. [00:14] I have question [00:14] trench: how do i run the file?????????\ [00:14] ActionParsnip: easier with unetbootin [00:14] trench: the one i just downloaded.. [00:14] Haqqkcb: !ask [00:14] I need, some quick help [00:14] Samizdata: its a Pentium 200MMX based system, it has ISA slots too. It runs a server OS so X isn't running [00:14] !asl | Haqqkcb [00:14] Haqqkcb: Most of us don't speak American Sign Language, please try english instead. ✌ [00:15] Ubunter: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#install [00:15] trench: they are all easy, you just manipulate the ISO in a different application. How is unetbootin 'easier'?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:17] trench: to burn a CD you slam in a CD drive which is synonymous with plugging in the USB, then tell the burning app (like unetbootin) to put the image on the drive, you can then boot to it like a usb. Again, how is unetbootin easier? [00:18] ActionParsnip: you have to find the cd too right? :) [00:18] trench: you have to find a usb stick [00:18] and download it [00:18] trench: the download is part of both operations.. [00:18] well you have the image already added to unetbootin [00:19] Should I install on p3 45o with 512 l2 or 6oo 256 l2 the 450 had one extra ram slot [00:19] w [00:19] trench: the difference is the USB will install FASTER but the CD install method will work on any system providing it has an optical drive as more systems can boot CD than can boot USB [00:19] Haqqkcb: what are you gone use it for? === paddymelon is now known as paddy_melon [00:19] ActionParsnip: usbdrives is the new floppy :) [00:20] trench: that is moot to the discussion [00:20] ActionParsnip: and usbdrives are more enviromental friendly ;P [00:20] Just an extra pc playing music and converting wav to mp3 [00:20] Haqqkcb: I [00:20] Haqqkcb: then i would take the one with the most ram [00:21] I'm having some trouble with my WLAN.

Basically, we are trying to convert the UK Government and, ultimately, the uk population, to Ubuntu, or at least, Linux [00:28] but you should be familar with flash and recovery [00:28] snake_: if this is for a home router, some have a dyndns function built in.... [00:28] U on droid [00:28] l0rd_hex: and after the SDK what should I do ? [00:28] NixGeek, do you know how to make it start up on bootup? when I follow the readme, it says that the directory doesn't exist. [00:28] h4f, put the updated rom on the sdcard boot to recovery flash it [00:28] I'm on droid [00:28] h4f: you can flash the firmware by copying the relevant files in the relevant order to the SD card and rebooting etc in the usual way [00:28] iflema, yes but my router randomly says "no host found" [00:29] Metro pcs lg optimus m [00:29] h4f: if your provider gives an update app, you will most likely need windows to use it [00:29] snake_: go to system> preferences> startup Applications and add it to the list [00:29] More specificly, does anyone know where I can download the unbranded source code used for Abrowser? [00:29] ActionParsnip: thats the problem I don't have windows [00:29] h4f - or you could try it with wine === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [00:29] h4f: wine mabey? [00:29] Ok when I attempt to boot into ubuntu it first loads in a normal resolution then when I enter my passkey it kills the video and locks up. When i reboot it's in a lower resolution but logs right in. [00:29] h4f: then you may be able to do it via a VM but you may have to dual boot (or use a different system) to get updated [00:29] NixGeek, will that make it a service as well. (like for apache2 i just type: service apache2 status) [00:29] H4f - or try vmware player [00:29] trench [00:30] Any way to install ubunti on android [00:30] trench: it didnt work [00:30] Hi, anyone here wanting to help the Linux community in possibly a very major way, please contact me about volunteer work, data mining, in exchange for free website hosting and email hosting.

I know there was a conversation of sorts going on. [00:31] quinnw, go ahead, I'm curious [00:31] l0rd_hex, did you shutdown the interface before doing iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc [00:31] Won't happen linux is not safe.

[00:34] send me link again [00:34] im back on desktop [00:34] quinnw: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ click on your version, then on the right side the source will be available [00:34] I am just a bot [00:34] Well, yes. [00:34] Ubunter: unetbootin.sf.net [00:35] But that offers the Firefox (branded) source doesn't it? [00:35] If not then great! But I thought that was the branded stuff. [00:35] * Taco_S slams head into desk [00:35] Taco_S: did it help? [00:35] Did they upgrade the nvidia so vanta can run compiz [00:35] * quinnw actually laughs out loud at that [00:36] * Samizdata misses Compiz on the netbook edition. [00:36] moin [00:36] well no but at least i know that it will produce result every time i try it. [00:36] quinnw: abrowser is the unbranded firefox, the source should be unbranded, as in Abrowser brand, not Mozilla brand ... I think I said that right [00:37] and bye [00:37] Ah ok. [00:37] is there an easy way to cut and edit .avi in Ubuntu? [00:37] if you are l33t you use ratpoison as a window manager [00:37] I'll check it out. [00:37] trench: I use twm :D [00:37] Sonja, piviti or cinnerela [00:37] thanks [00:37] Sonja: try piviti [00:38] Sonja, openshot is a pretty good editor [00:38] How can I rip dvd in ubuntu [00:38] * Taco_S gets ready to dump and re-install the os [00:38] are there any viruses affecting ubuntu os ? [00:38] Haqqkcb: handbrake (which isn't available in repositories) ... or dvd:rip which is [00:38] Fraser: No. [00:38] Is it true ubuntu will kill your mac hd [00:39] I need to hack an ISO, is there some kind of editor for ISO images? [00:39] I mean a visual editor. [00:39] quinnw: The "firefox" source package does not contain branding. The "firefox" binary package depends either on firefox-branding or abrowser-branding. [00:39] * NixGeek cheers for Taco_S and hopes it works [00:39] Haqqkcb: acidrip works so so [00:39] Ok [00:39] celthunder: I'll keep checking [00:39] windows 7 is a nasty virus that destroyes many linux users [00:39] Well I should mention that I'm not using Ubuntu [00:39] thank you jordan_u [00:39] how do I view the changelog of a package before installing it? ...from the CLI, not the browser. [00:39] Fraser: You're welcome. [00:39] Jordan_U: you had Staog back in 1996 :) [00:39] I'm just looking for the source that I thought should be in a Mozilla FTP somewhere. [00:39] System_Default_0: try opening the iso with a compressor like file-roller (wild guess) [00:39] well guess i'm going to re-install [00:40] System_Default_0: Try out Gnome-iso [00:40] I have to go pick up my little bro. [00:40] quinnw: Actually, I guess the firefox source package creates both abrowser-branding and firefox-branding binary pacakges. [00:40] Jordan_U: and Bliss [00:40] So thanks in advance if anyone gives me additional info while I'm AFK. [00:41] trench: But you didn't have Ubuntu in 1996 :) [00:41] Wine had not had any major improvements [00:41] OK, thanks. [00:41] System_Default_0: you can mount ISOs already. If you want to remaster an Ubuntu CD you can use remastersys, is this what you are wanting? [00:41] osmosis: aptitude changelog [00:41] Okay, well, I am sufficiently unelite as far as using ratpoison. [00:41] System_Default_0: just mount it and edit it? [00:42] pam related question. tking hard memlock 102400 would only allow that user to use that set amount of RAM correct? [00:42] sup [00:43] how do you uninstall grub? [00:43] OK. I'm trying to modify a PSP game an ISO right, so I'm asking for an application, that can edit it. [00:43] a few years ago a friend had told me about mythtv. i have recently begam migrating away from windows; is mythtv still a good application to build my media center? i am running ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) any insight appreciated. [00:43] System_Default_0: you are in the wrong channel for your question [00:43] kcorcoran_: I like XBMC. [00:43] New2ubuntu: You don't generally "remove" bootloaders, you replace them with another bootloader. What is your end goal? [00:43] !mythbuntu | kcorcoran_ [00:43] kcorcoran_: Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [00:44] kcorcoran_: i would rather use xbmc [00:44] trench: can you elaborate why? [00:44] kcorcoran_, I use XBMC too...but myth is great if you plan on watching or recording live TV [00:44] Would one of our kind ops please msg me, I have an issue regarding someone here that needs to be discussed in private [00:45] correct me if i am wrong, but it sounds like mythubuntu is a stripped version of ubuntu strictly for media purposes? that correct? [00:45] kcorcoran_: it all depends on your needs and what you want to do [00:45] GeekSquid: #ubuntu-ops [00:45] So, please make an ubottu command. [00:45] kcorcoran_: sure, media centres work well with xbmc too ;) [00:45] hey, i have an Abit IP35Pro with the ICH9R raid chipset. I have two drives in raid 0, but ubuntu still sees them separately. what steps do I take to fix this, such that windows will still be compatible with using these drives in a raid? [00:45] !raid | istvan [00:45] istvan: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:45] TRENCH: I booted from the usb and i tried it again but still stops at the "preparing to install" console screen =/ [00:45] i will basically be using it to watch and record tv shows...and play various ISO's - perhaps streaming in the future. [00:45] Starting to get mad [00:45] Can you see this? [00:45] kcorcoran_, mythbuntu is just a package in ubuntu...it helps configure all the components surrounding mythtv [00:46] yes [00:46] kcorcoran_, if you plan to record mythtv-backend is the way to go [00:46] ActionParsnip: I think he knows what raid is, he needs help with it, not links to it [00:46] Ubunter: tried expert mode? [00:47] trench: how do iget there? [00:47] ActionParsnip: is the ICH9R software? I see it as two drives in ubuntu, but spinrite and other disk live CDs see it as one disk [00:47] V0lksman: currently i have a fully installed version of desktop ubuntu v10.10 (64) - do i need to uninstall or is this a package i load on top of ubuntu? [00:47] kcorcoran_, I have a machine running mythtv-backend that records but all the rest of the media centers in my house use XBMC as the frontend [00:47] kcorcoran_, yeah you should be able to find mythbuntu in synaptic...I forget the actual package name right now [00:48] volksman: why not run all media stations with myth? [00:48] istvan: It is FakeRAID, spinwrite sees it as a single disk because spinwrite is DOS based and thus can be tricked by the BIOS presenting the array as a single disk (this is not true of real operating systems that access hardware directly). [00:48] trench: how do i get to expert mode? [00:48] what's the EASIEST way to set up a ftp server in ubuntu without having to edit txt config files to set it up? [00:48] v0lksman: how many shows can it record at once? [00:48] ActionParsnip: you have a link to the screenshots of the install? [00:48] or anyone else [00:49] Jordan_U: ah, thank you! [00:49] chaospsychex: proftpd with gadmin proftpd [00:49] v0lksman: so if i understand correctly, youre using myth to perfom all your recording - but on the other workstations you use xbmc as a front end to access the media from myth? [00:49] kcorcoran_, myth has it's quirks and is a bit of a maintenance nightmare...also somewhat sluggish compared to XBMC... [00:49] how do i determine the physical connection for a /dev/sdX device? [00:49] istvan: You're welcome. [00:49] draven_sol: ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ [00:49] kcorcoran_, yep...! [00:49] chaospsychex: install using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd" [00:49] Jordan_U: is there still a significant speed advantage for writing many files all over 200 MB or larger with fakeRAID? [00:50] TRENCH: HOPW DO I GET TO EXPERT MODE? [00:50] BedMan, depends on your setup. at one point I had 2 cards and 2 sat receivers...so 2 shows at once... :) [00:50] Ubunter: it's a LONG time since i have installed ubunutu myself [00:50] !caps | Ubunter [00:50] Ubunter: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [00:50] where am i? [00:51] Ubunter: patience is a virtue [00:51] v0lksman: so a few years ago the package was myth tv - has mythbuntu replaced myth tv? [00:51] linux: The IRC channel for technical support with Ubuntu Linux. [00:51] The Ubuntu IRC support channel. [00:51] istvan: There is no speed advantage to FakeRAID over linux software RAID as both use the CPU. There is a performance advantage to any RAID0 over non-raid, but I wouldn't trust any important data to RAID0 (especially FakeRAID). [00:51] kcorcoran_: go to the software center and search mythtv, it has the frontend, backend, and other things [00:51] Jordan_U, thanks [00:52] hi guys!! [00:52] draven_sol: You're welcome. [00:52] i have a big big problem [00:52] NixGeek: that's what i am seeing, i am trying to understand which i should install. [00:52] my user interface is freezing up right now [00:52] cheater99: is your RAM healthy? [00:52] !details | cheater99 [00:52] kcorcoran_, no...mythbuntu started as a seperate project based on ubuntu...eventually Ubuntu adopted the project in as a package that can just be installed (rather than a standalone OS)...mythtv is a completely separate project...mythbuntu just makes it a little easier to manage [00:52] cheater99: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:52] yes [00:53] thank you. [00:53] Jordan_U: thanks again ;) its backed up hourly, but as a VFX artist and enjoy it as a hoby too, i deal with big files and yeah, got sick of it :p [00:53] i'm using metacity... i entered the top menu (applications), and sometimes you can move the cursor away quickly enough that the bar hides but the menu is there.. [00:53] kcorcoran_, sry...mythbuntu makes it easier to manage and install myth tv in ubuntu... :) [00:53] i also switched context to another app by mistake [00:53] NixGeek: can you help me with these program a little [00:53] kcorcoran_: i'd say the frontend and backend, and control center, but i've never really messed with it, so someone else might have a better suggestion [00:53] well now that menu is hanging. i cannot access the top bar and the bottom bar (app switcher) [00:53] CANT SOMEONE JUST ASWERE THIS QUETION!? HOW DO I GET PASSED THE "PREPARING TO INSTALL" WINDOW!?!? [00:53] istvan: You're welcome. [00:54] i have pressed alt-f2 to see if the UI still responds, and the "run" window popped up, but pressing cancel does nothing, the window is still there [00:54] does anyone have any ideas please? [00:54] Ubunter: You have been asked many times to stop using caps lock. This is your last warning. [00:54] Ubunter: Please stop using all-caps. It's disruptive and not helping you. [00:54] milamber, thx [00:54] whats the easiest way to setup a ftp server [00:54] i'm using ubuntu 10.04 with everything updated [00:54] !ftp | chaospsychex [00:54] chaospsychex: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [00:54] well when i talk like this no one can see what im saying! [00:54] looking for a program that can read a sktpe user name and connect with that person through skype network...skype is not working [00:54] chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install vsftpd [00:54] Ubunter: We can see what you're saying just fine. Be patient. [00:54] KM0201: i had to leave earlier to eat and check the tire pressure on my Spyder trike [00:55] ive been at this for like 3 hours now! [00:55] itaylor57: lol [00:55] can someone give me a link to documentation on how to setup a ftp server step by step [00:55] chaospsychex: like I said, install proftpd and it's graphical control center using "sudo apt-get install proftpd-basic gadmin-proftpd" and then go to Applications> system tools> GADMIN-PROFTPD [00:55] ubunter there is no feed back from the install prog but check your disk dribe light and see if it is being used if so just hang pretty until it has completed [00:55] kcorcoran_, I think you just need to install mythbuntu-control-centre...it will pull the rest with dependencies... [00:55] NixGeek i did that but this program is overwhelming [00:55] Its very ennoying that i cant get passed 1 stupid screen! and not just for the Ubuntu install but for linux mint also! [00:56] come on guys.. i'm sure someone has at least some idea what i could do... [00:56] is there even an option to set what directory they can ftp into ? [00:56] ah, first things first, go to the bottom of the lower part of the first page, type in a password and hit apply [00:56] Ubunter: you might consider the alternate install cd if youre having trouble with the livecd install [00:56] hello, im trying to get two applications (kopete & mjpg-streamer) to listen to the same video device (a webcam) simultaneouslly. What excatly keeps this from happening? Does the kernal lock the video device for the initial application? [00:56] cheater99: mouse isn't detected? [00:56] !patience | everybody [00:56] everybody: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:56] pepperjack: how do i do it? [00:57] aeon-ltd: the mouse is detected, the gui was responding fine until this second [00:57] !alt | Ubunter [00:57] Ubunter: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [00:57] cheater, you could try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' ? [00:57] Ubunter: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download are you comfortable with a less friendly install? [00:57] gadmin sux! [00:58] Pepperjack: yes, ive installed arch before and that was hard [00:58] v0lksman: will this close applications that are currently open? [00:58] v0lksman: by dl'ing control center, will is pull the backend as well...i have search all mythbuntu and do not see the backend, nor front end [00:58] cheater99, yes. it will restart X [00:59] chaospsychex: go to users, click on new user, type in a username and password, choose the directories their allowed to access at the bottom, and then click apply [00:59] v0lksman: i wouldn't want to do that, i think only some part of gnome is broken [00:59] after all i'm in xchat right now and can use alt-tab [00:59] kcorcoran_, the control center is just a piece of software to manage myth and it's environment (by adding and removing packages, AND settings etc)...so with the CC you can tell it to install just a backend for example [00:59] chaospsychex: then click activate and you have a running ftp server [01:00] cheater99, gdm: gnome display manager [01:00] from shandong [01:00] cheater99, ah...well then you will need to figure out exactly what crashed and restart it [01:00] like gnome-panel or something [01:00] v0lksman: yes [01:00] xixi [01:01] kcorcoran_ the correct spelling is mythbuntu-control-centre === Guest48617 is now known as share === share is now known as Guest73132 [01:02] it wont start [01:02] v0lksman: ok great, killing gnome-panel got rid of the hanging menu. now i can access the bottom bar. what about the top bar? i thought that was gnome-panel too [01:02] hmm, installed...not seeing anything in the applications. [01:03] can someone give me the chat to linux mint?

Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [01:04] im uninstalling this crapass ftp server [01:04] !language | chaospsychex [01:04] chaospsychex: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:05] Hey [01:05] chaospsychex, vsftp used to be the best...no clue anymore since I stopped using FTP servers...what are you planning to do with yours? [01:05] I'm having volume control issues [01:05] hi [01:05] whenever I use the volume keys on my keyboard, or use the volume applet to change the volume, the PCM jumps to 100 [01:06] i just want to access some files that are on this machine from another machine on my home network [01:06] How can I fix my update manager so that it stops telling me that my repositories are out of sync? [01:06] which distorts things and makes it too loud (it cuts off above a comfortable volume) [01:06] I have Firefox installed on multiple computers. On each computer I have the exact same Greasemonkey scripts installed. On one computer (Windows), they all work. On this computer (Ubuntu), only half of them work. What can I do to make them all work? [01:06] chaospsychex: id second vsftpd though you might consider just using ssh or samba [01:06] chaospsychex, SFTP works without any additional software...just use your user login and it will work [01:06] sftp? [01:06] chaospsychex, just a setting in most FTP clients [01:06] the other machine is a windows machine [01:07] chaospsychex, FileZilla will connect via SFTP without issue [01:07] v0lksman: so, is this a correct assumption - i will build a mythbuntu box...and, if i throw xbmc on my laptop can i stream data from my mythbuntu box to my laptop? [01:07] Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e: http://imagebin.org/131025 [01:07] dude i got to setup the ftp server first [01:07] chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server then run winscp or something to connect [01:08] kcorcoran_, yep...the only thing you can't see in XBMC is the live recordings...so if you want to watch live TV or a show that is being recorded you will need a myth frontend [01:08] sometimes we can't see the trees for the mitochondria [01:08] When I try port forwarding on my router (HTTP, Port 80) it says that there is a port conflict with another service. Can anyone clarify what a service in this sense might be referring to? [01:08] pepperjack docs on configuring openssh? [01:08] ...anybody good with pulseaudio/alsa stuff? [01:08] chaospsychex, right...forgot not everyone installs ssh...hahaha...but just install the package and presto [01:08] Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e: http://imagebin.org/131025 [01:09] chaospsychex: should just work with the default config file. any sftp client for windows then will work [01:09] snake_: at a guess, I'd say your router is already forward 80 for some reason [01:09] dude have you ever even setup a file server? [01:10] i have a specific folder i want to allow access to === michael is now known as Guest43568 [01:10] not my whole filesystem [01:10] Jordan U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e: http://imagebin.org/131025 [01:10] chaospsychex, well you didn't say that... [01:10] chaospsychex: if you want a dedicated file server then id go with samba or ftp. vsftpd is my choice normally [01:10] hey all ive got weired letters down the bottom of my screen how to i get rid of em [01:10] chaospsychex, but you can still do that with ssh [01:10] my name is dude and yes I have [01:10] Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e: http://imagebin.org/131025 [01:10] chaospsychex, oh and yeah...I have too...many many many...too many...that's why I quit... ;) [01:11] ? [01:11] Guest43568: run: killall gnome-panel the panel will automagically reload and may help [01:11] So, uh, nobody here knows how to fix PCM volume resets? neat [01:11] sudo alsa-mixer [01:11] chaospsychex: proftpd, for example, has defaultroot in config (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) - that is what you need, I think [01:11] where do i find kill all [01:11] proftpd wont even start [01:12] i get some error about a module failing to load [01:12] chaospsychex: yeah, that lets me change it, but as soon as I change the volume with any other method (keyboard, applet) it jumps right back to 100 [01:12] proftpd will want config [01:12] chaospsychex: okay, so what about ssh? [01:12] chaospsychex, so why not go samba? offsite access? [01:12] Daevol, maybe another device (such as my modem) is forwarding that port.. [01:12] i know nothing about samba or ssh [01:12] Jordan_U: Here it is, but for some reason the image didnt pick up the loading curser =/ w/e: http://imagebin.org/131025 [01:13] Daevol: check my comment on: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/352732?comments=all [01:13] Daevol, lemme check ;) [01:13] im familiar with ftp,just not setting it up on ubuntu [01:13] chaospsychex, hahaha...seems you know little about FTP too.. :) [01:13] Ubunter: I saw it the first (and second) time. [01:13] lol [01:13] k [01:13] wel... === con-man_ is now known as con-man [01:13] v0lksman: clarification, i can stream any data, just not live data? so a show previously recorded would play fine on xbmc laptop? [01:13] well i usually run the ftp server from windows,but windows 7 is gay [01:13] Ubunter: How much RAM do you have? [01:13] wont even let the ftp server write the config file [01:13] chaospsychex: how can an OS have sex? [01:13] 2gb [01:13] Oh === con-man is now known as con-man_ [01:14] kcorcoran_, yep... :) [01:14] Wow I feel so stupid [01:14] chaospsychex: sudo apt-get install openssh-server - this will install openssh on your host and run the daemon. next oyu need winscp or scp to login to your host with you system password and get files === difference is now known as OtherLovelace === con-man_ is now known as con-man [01:14] Hi, I'm looking to install Ubuntu on my desktop whose hard drive I had reformated can someone help me? preferably through PM [01:14] hey where can I edit my file associations? [01:14] how does one configure ssh [01:14] pianolender1: thanks [01:15] Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram [01:15] chaospsychex, open terminal, type ssh followed by ip address [01:15] ActionParsnip: but, I'm not having issues with anything being muted or zeroed. It's the opposite; pulseaudio keeps setting the PCM to 100 every time I change the master volume [01:15] omg [01:15] con-man: nautilus normally handles that. you can right-click on the file and 'open with other app' === RobotCow is now known as Evoken [01:15] chaospsychex: what king of configurind do you want? it just starts [01:15] i understand that, and thats the problem [01:15] pepperjack, 10.10 seems to do it for that individual file instead of all files with that extension [01:15] chaospsychex, http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny steps 2 and 3 will get you a lock down via SFTP [01:15] chaospsychex: config files are in /etc/ssh/ [01:16] what directories is it allowing access to [01:16] chaospsychex, you did say you were on 10.10 right? [01:16] Rogueboy: Are you having a particular problem? [01:16] Daevol, thanks for speculating with me. It was my modem. :) [01:16] Daevol: i see, if you run the alsa-info.sh from the sound troubleshooting page, do you have 1.0.23? [01:16] thanks for the help for now...i'll have more questions. i have to go now before my fiance tears me from the console! :) [01:16] con-man: there should be a 'remember choice' checkbox sorry I'm not in gnome atm to check [01:16] Hey guys. What if i just want to list the "upgradeable" packages in the command line using aptitude? [01:16] kcorcoran_, tell her it's worth it...my wife loves the setup now... :) [01:16] use apt-get [01:16] Jordan_U: First time I'm installing an OS that's not Windows, and not on a brand new Comp [01:16] chaospsychex: so, if you want to deny some hosts from loggint to your host, you can use /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/hosts.deny, iptables or so [01:17] just forget it [01:17] con-man: ah 10.10. i havent tested since 9.04 [01:17] pepperjack, yeah it doesn't have a remember choice. worked fine on 10.04 [01:17] Jordan_U: I have 2GB of Ram [01:17] chaospsychex, wut? [01:17] Jordan_U: so basically I tried interrupting the set up and booting from the Ubuntu CD [01:17] Jordan_U: Keep getting the BootMGR not found [01:17] Ubunter: Again, I saw the first time. [01:17] there has to be a simpler way to do what i want to do [01:18] oh hell no [01:18] Jordan_U: why dont you answer back... [01:18] Rogueboy: You get this error when you try to boot from the Ubuntu CD? [01:18] ubuntu recognizes my both monitors but its putting all bars and panels in the secondary one, how do i switch it? [01:18] if that david is the david in pittsnurgh I'm gonna scream... [01:18] chaospsychex, what I sent will lock the user into their home directory...you can then put whatever you want in that directory for them [01:18] chaospsychex: What are you trying to do? [01:18] Ubunter: Because I don't know why it's hanging there. [01:18] does anyone know how to associate a file type in 10.10? it seems to have changed === Evoken is now known as AgentSmith [01:18] Hilikus: you should be able to drag and drop the panels and it will be remembered [01:19] Jordan_U: Yeah, but there is the off chance I did select the wrong CD Drive, I'll try it through USB this way I know I can't select the wrong one [01:19] BRB [01:19] con-man: right click? [01:19] ehi [01:19] ActionParsnip: hold on [01:19] con-man: uhh right click open with? if your still using nautilus i don't think it has changed [01:19] bastidrazor: ??? dragging the panels? they don;t seem to move at all [01:19] yeah and it will take half the night to set it up too [01:20] chaospsychex: What are you trying to do [01:20] Guys, any advice on partitioning a disk with the command line? [01:20] Rogueboy: That is a Windows error, so your BIOS is definitely not booting from and Ubuntu disk. [01:20] i just want to allow network access to one folder on this pc [01:20] chaospsychex, if you type those 4 lines REALLY slowly, yeah it might... [01:20] aeon-ltd, it has changed. that's the problem? [01:20] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0c0df385f547ad6f8b6da0414e5092605b2ca6cd [01:20] Jordan_U: Yeah once I read your reaction was a definite fail stamp on my attempt [01:20] root_: Danger Danger Will Robinson!!! You are running your IRC client as ROOT, this is a MAJOR Security Vulnerability, It would be wise not to do this in the future [01:20] chaospsychex: Then use samba or vsftpd to simplify permissions. [01:20] ActionParsnip: yep. 1.0.23 [01:20] ei [01:21] some body tell me how can i upgrade my kde [01:21] i use apt-get install kde [01:21] Jordan_U: YOU ASKED ME HOW MUCH RAM I HAD I THought? [01:21] i dont know what samba is [01:21] halo [01:21] chaospsychex: vsftpd you use the chroot jail options and make the home directory for some user(the one they'll log in with) the folder that you want to share. [01:21] root_: not until you learn about sudo... [01:21] Ubunter: Is there a problem with your caps lock key? [01:21] chaospsychex: smb4 [01:21] !sudo | root_ [01:21] root_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:21] v0lksman, aeon-ltd, pepperjack - it appears you have to choose open with, as opposed to going to the file properties. it seems to have changed in 10.10 [01:21] bastidrazor: ok, got it, i had to press alt. thanks a lot [01:22] chaospsychex: I do recommend you use ssh though, it is much cleaner than what I am suggesting. Alternatively, proftpd is also probably a better, in the long run, option than vsftpd. [01:22] Jordan_U: Keep on pressing my accident =/ [01:22] Hilikus: right, was just going to say. [01:22] !partition [01:22] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [01:22] that [01:22] ActionParsnip: never mind, this might work: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats#Volume%20range%20anomalies [01:22] Hilikus: i have dual monitors also with nvidia and this method worked [01:22] i cant get proftpd to start [01:22] someone browsed SMB shares on android? [01:23] im gonna try apache ftp server [01:23] chaospsychex: for a quick access via samba you should also just be able to right-click on a given folder and select sharing options then enable guest access.. and from windows \\hostname\folder [01:23] Ubunter: You might want to disable the caps lock key completely. At the very least please look at your responses before hitting enter so that you can catch that you had caps lock on and fix it. [01:23] kk [01:23] chaospsychex: Pardon the PM, but what i sent you is a quick way to set up a chroot for an ssh server. [01:23] is samba already installed? [01:23] Jordan_U: can you keep helping me? [01:24] Ubunter: I don't have any ideas currently. [01:24] SUCCESS!! [01:24] chaospsychex: yeah [01:24] how do i properly format a drive for raid? [01:24] chaospsychex: no, its optional [01:24] is ther some one here that helps newbs [01:24] !raid | draven_sol [01:24] draven_sol: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:24] Cypher78: all will [01:25] then this is the room i need [01:25] screw it im installing fadora [01:25] Ubunter: Like others have suggested, the alternate install CD will probably work for you. [01:25] Ubunter: If you're having problems with ubuntu you're going to have more problems with fedora [01:25] hahahah [01:25] Ubunter: but good luck. o7 [01:25] hey all, how can i install splash screens that i downloaded from gnome website? [01:25] danub: splash screens for what? [01:26] ActionParsnip, my raid had a drive fail, i pulled the bad drive, put in the new, and need to know how to set the partition, ie primary vs extended, and type [01:26] login screens i believe [01:26] i must restart samba, what i must type on terminal , on ubuntu 10.10? [01:26] Jordan_U: when i use the other CD, does it come with all the stuff? [01:26] krabador: sudo service samba restart or sudo service smb restart [01:26] draven_sol: Do you have an mdadm raid? [01:27] Jordan_U: that it would come with with the normal CD? [01:27] Ubunter: Yes.

[02:52] cricketeer: lemme see if I can understand this, you are online via a wire, which by default will be eth0 ... usually eth1 or wlan0 will come up as wireless .... or is it that you have absolutly no conectivity with this machine? [02:52] ikonia i meant i want to keep this OS but start from scratch [02:52] martin_: you need to re-install it [02:53] crap [02:53] oh well thanks [02:53] YAY! okay, I'm getting closer! i ran "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then "sudo startx" in a remote terminal.

[02:59] cricketeer: ask the guys in ##windows [02:59] You're joking... [02:59] no [03:00] As far as I know, the make is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. It is manufactured by broadcom.

[03:01] Why can't i install simon? [03:01] cricketeer: you did, as you told me you had a wired and a wireless, I'm not interested anymore, [03:02] You misunderstood.

[03:02] I'm not sure how to reword it to suit you. [03:02] cricketeer: please bring up your network devices ... there will be 2 of them [03:03] GeekSquid: we are not debugging/troubleshooting windows in here [03:03] Lighten up. [03:03] cricketeer: no [03:03] that kill gnome panel still didn't kill it [03:03] ikonia: we are trying to find out what wired device cricketeer has [03:03] GeekSquid: we are not supporting/helping use windows, [03:04] yeah that's right,windows suxorz! [03:04] I'm trying to connect in Ubuntu before I install. [03:04] Hence, #Ubuntu. [03:04] connect to what? [03:04] I believe I haven't worded my queries correctly. My fault -- lack of expertise. [03:04] ikonia: however, in order to support this person we need to know what kind of hardware this person has, so we can support ubuntu [03:04] hello, is there anyone with some experience with rsync ? [03:04] chaospsychex: please don't make pointless comments like windows suzorz [03:04] GeekSquid: yes, so you can either take it to pm or ##windows, not here [03:05] ikonia: *suxorz! ;-P [03:05] Geek: I'll get the info and tell you. It's okay. We don't want to upset the balance of the universe. [03:05] CloseCall: in what sense [03:05] hi guys. I have what seems to be a bug on my system; my desktop icons & fonts are tiny, and I don't seem able to reset it. any ideas, please? [03:06] okay, stupid question time: Is there any way that I can reinstall Ubuntu without destroying my data on my hard drives? I just want to refresh my install with a clean install [03:06] i have been copying a large mailstore with rsync over the last few days [03:06] Anyone have experience with joining multicast groups on multiple interfaces in >= 10.04 ? [03:06] Nanoha: no [03:06] kieppie1: is it gnome desktop? [03:06] oguardian2: correct [03:06] and it has finally finished but the if i run a du -sh on the folder the sizes differ [03:06] the new one is larger [03:06] Nanoha: backup what you need and reinstall [03:06] CloseCall: different disk/block size may make it appear slightly different [03:07] CloseCall: how different is it [03:07] kieppie1: perhaps you can try temporarily moving .gconf and .gnome directories so that they are recreated [03:07] as in 200G [03:07] but [03:07] CloseCall: ok, that's very different, 200GB is not a minor difference [03:07] i did rsync without the --delete option [03:07] I believe we may have found a bug [03:07] oguardian2: thanks. I'll try that [03:08] okay. I was hoping to just be able to fix the problem without being so dramatic [03:08] so the files on the destination is problaly email that customers retrivied via pop during the day [03:08] I don't think i'll ever be doing any kind of upgrading in the future again. This was a horrible experiance. [03:08] CloseCall: 200gb is still a big difference, even for an active mail service [03:08] but i am a little hasitent to run it with the --delete option because i do not want to screw up 8 night shifts of syncing [03:09] GeekSquid: Got it. My "Network adapters" are: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet, and Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. (Didn't know I had two...) [03:09] is the UBUNTU server editiona fairly like the NORMAL desktop ubuntu version?? [03:09] mm not really we have 80K of emailboxen [03:09] delinquentme: no [03:09] CloseCall: still 200gb is a LOT [03:09] there goes allot of email through that [03:09] it is TERMINAL only by default [03:09] delinquentme: it comes with no desktop, if you need a desktop with mouse interactivity, install desktop [03:09] but when i do a dry-run with the delete option [03:09] Nanoha, ohhhh ok [03:09] thanks guys [03:09] np [03:10] rsync indeed says there are differences in the src and dst [03:10] and wants to remove files in the dst [03:10] cricketeer: one ethernet and one wireless. virtually all laptops have "two" [03:10] Neat. [03:10] and when i check that by hand rsync is right [03:10] What is the command to execute a .jar with openjdk? [03:11] w1n5ton0: jave -jar filename.jar [03:11] java -jar filename.jar sorry [03:11] While running Ubuntu from my flash drive, it does try to install some sort of Broadcom update, but I can't connect to anything, so naturally that's not feasible. [03:11] That launches Sun Java though [03:11] CloseCall: seems like you've solved your own issue, just need to actually run it [03:12] hey guys, I'm having a problem with my printer, hpijs is segfaulting causing the error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" any ideas?

Thanks a bunch everyone. [03:15] ActionParsnip, is there a .deb package for it? I'm installing this on my gf's computer, and I'd rather it take care of itself with the updates.

Perhaps I can explain my situation a little better now: Yesterday, I went to boot Windows XP from GRUB (I dual boot Ubuntu Netbook Remix) and accidentally hit the Windows Recovery option. Windows Recovery came up and I hit 'Cancel' when it gave me the "Are you sure you want to do this" message. My computer rebooted into GRUB recovery. I booted from LiveUSB and have tried just about everything Goog [03:24] le offered me to no avail. When I do an 'fdisk -l' -- my ubuntu partition (/dev/sda4) shows up as "Unknown" under "System".

[03:28] does anybody know what "gdbm" is? I got a fatal: read error when I tried to install xserver-xorg [03:28] plurrtard: Try using the utility testdisk to see if it's just a problem with your partition table. If testdisk can't find your ext partition then photorec may be able to recover some files. [03:28] plurrtard: i would take a backup of it dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/path/to/backup.iso [03:29] plurrtard: and then try to mount the iso [03:30] plurrtard: so you have a backup [03:30] plurrtard: you have ext3 or ext4 or the filesystem right? [03:31] trench: good idea. And yes, I believe it was ext4 [03:33] Hi all, I'm running 10.04 server, and I'm having issues getting a program to run. http://pastebin.com/6SbNcV2a [03:34] even though the file is in the current directory, bash doesn'tbelieve it's there. [03:34] Jordan_U: testdisk is recognizing the partition as Linux [03:34] jkoby sounds confusing! [03:35] goetter: it really is. mc shows it with a * before the name, not sure what that means. [03:35] try chmod 777 hld* and try again [03:35] plurrtard: Good, does it have an option to write the new partition table to disk? [03:35] jkoby: try sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 [03:35] nope, same thing, goetter [03:35] jkoby: google suggests that [03:35] Jordan_U: Yes. Should I do that? [03:36] bindi: sure enough! thanks for the help. :) [03:36] plurrtard: First make sure that you have the output of "sudo fdisk -lu" saved somewhere.

[03:50] Jordan_U: Do I want to scan for file from unallocated space only or whole partition? [03:50] plurrtard: Whole partition. [03:50] You know how I can use System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Repositories to change my mirror to, say, mirror.cc.columbia.edu? Is there a way I can just do that on the command line via bash script to make it easier to deploy a bunch of machines? Currently, I had a sed script: sed -i 's/http:\/\/us\.archive\.ubuntu\.com\/ubuntu/http:\/\/mirror.cc.columbia.edu\/pub\/linux\/ubuntu\/archive/' /etc/apt/sources.list and another one t [03:50] o get security.ubuntu.com but I'm finding that they may not work necessarily across versions so I'm looking for something more robust.

I don't know where to put the .so file [03:51] I have a cirrus logic video card in a LH3 netserver after using gentoo for years I switched to ubuntu. but im stuck in a 640 x 480 any help please.. [03:53] I have this Googled this issue but the top hits seemed to be telling people how to figure out which mirror is the closest using ping tests... [03:54] brightness is not increasing or decreasing in my dell inspiron 14 laptop after installing ubuntu 10.10 so any suggestion for me??

I'm stuck with this crappy onboard cirrus logic video.. no way to disable it in the bios and run a pci one. I know it can do it because under a old copy of knopix i get hte vido modes I want. [03:57] Steve973: php will do that with ease ... just look on google for a php based file upload script [03:57] I know [03:57] just i write in the wrong channel [03:58] GeekSquid, I say "deployable" because I don't want to use a library and develop the capability. [03:58] ? [03:58] Other then that I love ubuntu.. i am running it on a proliant blade server and an old LH3 but having major issues with the video.. [03:58] Jordan_U: the home/ubuntu folder on the LiveUSB. It didn't really give me any other options. [03:58] plurrtard: That actually just writes to RAM (will go away when you reboot). [03:59] plurrtard: You'll need to mount another drive / partition to restore the files to. [04:00] hey anyone would tell me name of software which can cut the video file and convert it to mp3 file [04:00] shishirdwivedi20: you just want the audio out of the video? [04:00] hello, i just installed an intel ultimate n 5300 wireless card in my laptop (replacing a broadcom that didn't work), and while ubuntu seems to detect my wirless card, i cannot enable wireless with networkmanager. here's what i've seen so far: http://pastebin.com/W3D7njtr [04:00] What does "md" stand for in /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/drivers/md/ ? [04:01] I'm looking for a mass backup (backing up a media server monthly...(Will start this manually since the backup drive won't be always connected)) Any recommended methods/apps?

Have tried via USC. [04:03] Jordan_U: Hmm...Is it trying to copy the entire partition? The biggest drive I have is 2GB. [04:03] Steve973: you are running a webserver, HTTP POST FileUpload in apache is what does what you want, but really there isn't any development to do what you want, as it has already been done [04:03] scratch that, installed! [04:03] kelwynsa8: try the 64bit flash plugin, you can install it easily with a ppa, google for: flash 64 ppa [04:03] plurrtard: It will try to copy all of the files from the partition that it can recover, yes. [04:05] i have ubuntu installed on my moms computer with an old pentium 3 and ddr1 ram. I ordered a new motherboard, ddr2 ram, and core2duo processor to put in her computer. My question: does the ubuntu installer determine what drivers are needed and configure the kernel that way, or does it run checks every boot? [04:06] i think i know part of the problem. rfkill says that my wireless is hard blocked: http://pastebin.com/cHXugWi4 [04:06] Im just wondering if ill need to recompile the kernel to her new hardware, or if it will automatically load the proper modules at boot [04:07] whoo, got it working with sudo rfkill unblock all [04:08] not sure why it was blocked in the first place. is there any reason why something should be blocked? [04:08] GSF1200S, your upgrade will have no ill effects as long as the kernel will run on the mobo [04:08] im having an issue with .torrent file types.. if i open a file from the file system it opens in transmission like i want.. but if i click on a link to one in firefox it opens in ktorrent... it seems firefox is associating my torrents with ktorrent and i have no idea how to fix it.. [04:09] adnap: yes when your on an aircraft and you don't want to radiate [04:09] Gartal: yeah, ok.. makes sense. The chipsets are supported by the linux kernel (mobo), so I should be good to go.. I guess ubuntu just runs scripts at boot to check for chipset requirements right? Cool.. [04:09] sacarlson: why was it blocked in the first place? [04:09] sacarlson: i admit i don't really know exactly what this program does [04:10] Jordan_U: We've got loads of external hard drives at work I can use tomorrow. Is there anything special I have to do after that finishes? [04:10] plurrtard: No. [04:11] i am having a reoccuring problem where i click on a folder and it opens the folder up in a media player [04:11] hello [04:11] can somebody help me out with this [04:11] stevecam: you have the naut.

[04:14] Guest58704: metacity --replace [04:15] maybe? [04:15] could be a permissions issue with the folder too [04:15] GSF1200S, nautilus doesn't open up, the media player does, so how do i change the settings for this [04:15] like, if the folder has rw but not x and has a name that matches a mime filter...

[05:03] no [05:03] Guest83473: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO before using it?

[05:05] Guest83473: it should tell you an option maybe you have to push Esc or something like that to come into the bootmenu [05:05] chaospsychex: its to make sure the image you downloaded is both complete and consistant. TCP does a good job of catching bit errors but it is not perfect [05:05] trench: SHIFT is the new way with grub2 [05:05] \nick Jocab [05:05] chaospsychex: so MD5 is used to make sure the file is 100% perfect, a bad image will make a bad install [05:05] trench: I set usb as 1st boot device [05:05] GeekSquid: depends if he got grub or not :P [05:06] what are you trying to do guest?

[05:07] or "Safely Remove Drive" because "Daemon is inhibited" [05:08] nope, I think I'll just listen and learn, thanks [05:08] ozzloy, maybe you have a places window open referring to that drive. Or are using a file. [05:08] just a black screen [05:08] yes its in the repos i think [05:08] like trying to boot from usb [05:08] but then skip [05:08] chaospsychex: happends alot if the computer doesn't go into usb at once [05:08] Hi guys, new to the whole linux idea, is there a command to search for a specific directory?, can I use grep for this? [05:08] Guest83473: ok then it is booting, you just need the nomodeset boot option [05:08] and goes to hd [05:08] nomodeset boot option? [05:08] Kiwi__: the whereis command might help you [05:08] * tripelb goes and looks up nomodeset [05:08] tripelb, how would i check that? the only two windows i have open are this terminal and a browser [05:09] Kiwi__: find / -name filediryouwanttosearchfor [05:09] ty Geek!

[05:09] or that :P [05:09] Guest83473: By "goes to HD" do you mean Boots the OS on your internal hard drive? [05:09] so ... maybe some process without a window opened some file on it? [05:09] reading http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Nomodeset [05:09] Guest83473: its not bios, the bios is doing its job, its a video issue [05:09] oh [05:09] i switched xorg to 16 bits [05:09] is for that?

[05:16] micah: gparted cannot resize the drive until it reads clean, you will have to run a chkdsk in windows twice and reboot before resizing will work [05:17] Gartarl: well yarg ... I trust you got my pounce [05:17] if i try to use micro sd with usb adapter [05:17] i did not.. i've never had to do that before for ntfs... the installer has allowed me to resize on other hosts. I'll try chkdisk [05:17] can I reformat from tehere? [05:17] GeekSquid: I'm getting a DBus error: mountpoint already registered [05:17] is there a pandora radio like program available for ubuntu?

[05:18] But installed accidentally gnome [05:18] Ok so when I run the find command I get alot of permission denied responces even if using sudo to run from root privlages (sorry if my terms are off im sure you know what i mean) is there a reason for this, does sudo simply give you temporary root privlages or am i missing something? [05:18] and since that is unestabble [05:18] and kinda slow [05:18] ubuntu server can install LAMP from setup? [05:18] Guest83473: then just add the startup of xfce in your .xinitrc [05:19] azizLIGHTS: yes it can [05:19] I' still here [05:19] Guest83473: or do you use the login manager then you can just change it there [05:19] azizLIGHTS: i believe so, yes. Or you can install it post install [05:19] well [05:19] apps are mixed [05:19] so is that LAMP all latest versions or updates needed [05:19] & sometimes nautilus opens [05:20] and lotys of weirdstuffs [05:20] Danny78_: please ask your question to the room, be as detailed as possible and write the whole thing on one line [05:20] hello, can anyone provide any help with a rom manager for android, I can't get into the android channel [05:20] is there any way to purge and let "pure xfce" again?

[05:29] trench: path is the same..just get the "square" preview3 [05:30] jon__: sounds like a permision thing, is the svn local or was it from a remote site? [05:30] what? [05:30] sacarlson: local site, i have already chmodded and chowned the svn directory [05:31] jon__: so where did the svn originate? [05:31] scarlson: where did the svn originate? [05:31] trench: chaospsychex: check http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html [05:32] jon__: you say you changed owner so if that was needed I assume you moved it [05:32] sacarlson: Hmm I dont know if you consider this remote, but I'm working on my windows desktop and sshing to my production server === newbie is now known as Guest84651 [05:33] sacarlson: I did svnadmin create svn, then updated the vhosts, it displays properly from the browser, but not from the svn client [05:34] does tar work with zip files too?

[05:34] it won't let me extract it to the folder. how do i get temp sudo so i can do this from the archive manager [05:34] izinucs: you will use unzip or unp [05:34] where the KEY will be on the top right [05:34] ActionParsnip: thnks [05:34] unp rocks [05:34] Is there a Daemon Manager GUI for Ubuntu? [05:34] Arch seems to have one [05:35] chaospsychex: extract to your home...then move with sudo [05:35] sacarlson: anything you think i could try?

[05:35] <_vaibhav_> hibernate is not working on my 10.04 machine.. I do regular updates.. what may be the problem?? [05:36] chaospsychex: mv [05:36] chaospsychex: could use: sudo -i then extract, then run: exit to end the (i)nteractive sudo :) [05:37] how to create a new /home on /??? [05:37] jon__: well I guess I would try create a new dir and co it again, maybe it's a router problem?

[05:39] Danny78_: sudo apt-get install samba smbclient [05:40] chaospsychex: mv file.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [05:41] awesome,it worked [05:41] I tried: "sudo smbmount //gaia/Documents /gaiadocs -o username=Danny, password=********* [05:41] on my other ubuntu pc i got a prompt inside firefox and installed it within firefox,weird [05:41] and it said sudo: smbmount: command not found [05:41] chaospsychex: 32bit or 64? [05:42] 64 [05:42] all 32 stuff works on a 64 bit os? [05:42] not necessarily [05:43] I'll try mount instead [05:43] chaospsychex: with ia32-libs installed ..i think so! [05:43] chaospsychex: you'll be using a 64bit wrapper called nspluginwrapper for plugins unless yuo use the native 64bit plugins [05:43] bonjoyee: probably still a stretch to say "everything 32bit works on 64bit" [05:44] KM0201: hmm...probably so [05:44] I'm having an issue cp'ing a file from one directory to another.. cp /dir1/dir2/ /dir1/dir2/dir3/ .. where am I going wrong? [05:44] some people even install ia32-libs then use the 32bit firefox in 64bit ;) [05:44] how do you open a file with root privlages from the gui/ [05:44] izinucs: cp -r folder dest [05:44] ?* [05:45] sacarlson: i tried that already but it still didnt work. it shouldnt be a router problem because i tried checking out from localhost [05:45] sudo mount -t smbfs //gaia/Documents /gaiadocs -o username=Danny,password=*** mount: mount point /gaiadocs does not exist... am I doing something wrong? [05:45] Kiwi__: gksudo gedit /path/to/file you can run it in an ALT+F2 dialogue [05:45] ActionParsnip: if i was gonna use a 64bit OS, i'd be a little perturbed at going to the effort to make 32bit stuff wo9rk on it... it's kinda like installing Linux, then the first thing you ask is, "how do I get x, y, and z to run in Wine" [05:46] Danny swapped arguments? [05:46] KM0201: so true..+1:) [05:46] jon__: so it won't let you checkout a new copy? [05:46] Danny78_: this is a bit of confusion ... mount likes the term cifs ... replace smbfs with cifs [05:46] younder: which ones? [05:46] KM0201: depends on needs and hardware, its fairly easy imho [05:46] Danny first and second [05:46] ya [05:46] GeekSquid: ok, will try [05:46] ActionParsnip: nope.. sudo cp -r /var/www/Drupal/themes/ /var/www/Drupal/themes/newDirectory/ [05:46] I have 10.04 installed from a disk. worked great and could go on bbc iplayer with firefox until I let it update. now I'm getting an error complaining that I dont have javascript enabled which is BS. any ideas? [05:47] sacarlson: yup it wont [05:47] sacarlson: but i can see the respository if i visit it in the browser [05:47] what it the user that svn on the host runs on? [05:47] sacarlson: svn: access to '/!svn/vcc/default' forbidden [05:47] izinucs: try: gksudo nautilus and use gui to copy, close nautilus after the copy is done [05:48] ActionParsnip: I'm ssh'd into my server with no gui.. would like to use cp .. perhaps -rf ? [05:48] jon__: and what are the owner of the files? do the owner and user on host match? [05:48] even with cifs and changing the order of 1 and 2 it still says mount point does not exist. I am able to access my music folder however. [05:48] Danny78_: does /gaiadocs exist? [05:49] sacarlson: the svn directory is owned by apache [05:49] sacarlson: my httpd server runs with the user apache [05:49] bonjoyee: do I need to create it first then I'm guessing? [05:49] jon__: apache on ubuntu is www-data [05:49] izinucs: what is the -f switch doing? [05:49] sacarlson: I know, but I'm using directadmin, so they install their own httpd [05:49] Danny78_: ofcourse u have to.. [05:49] ActionParsnip: used to "force" but it didn't work [05:50] ActionParsnip: this should be a "no brainer".. but I'm tired [05:50] sacarlson: phpinfo also confirms this (User/Group: apache(1001)/1001) [05:50] izinucs: does the destination folder exist? I suggest you use tab to complete the folders so you know its good [05:50] would it be possible to implement a plugin such as flash into a video card driver? [05:51] ok, I got mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //gaia/Documents, [05:51] missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount. helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [05:51] jon__: look at the logs and see what is running svn and what the problem is at the host [05:52] sacarlson: which logs? [05:52] Danny78_: theres another package u need to install...for smbfs..wait [05:52] !smbfs [05:52] bonjoyee: stupid question-- what's the ! for? [05:52] izinucs: what message do you get when you try the copy? [05:53] Danny78_: ignore that...failed command [05:53] ActionParsnip: tab worked fine.. still having errors.. /var/www/Drupal/themes/blumasters/': Is a directory [05:53] Danny78_: it causes ubottu to output a factoid if she is programmed to respond to the word [05:53] jon__: the ones that have changed last like /var/log/apache /var/log/auth.log [05:54] sacarlson: okay, sec [05:54] Danny78_: open a package manager and search for smbfs.. [05:54] ActionParsnip: got it.. the file name was blumasters.etc.etc.etc and the directory was bluemasters not blumasters [05:54] izinucs: cp -a source dest seems to work [05:54] izinucs: d'oh! [05:54] bonjoyee: I was able to install command line, thanks [05:55] ActionParsnip: DOH! .. banging my head on the desk now :) [05:55] jon__: it's time for my bike ride, I'm loosing light, chat you all later [05:55] * GeekSquid wipes up the blood on izinucs desk, and hands izinucs a bandage [05:56] Lol [05:56] * izinucs is appriciative of GeekSquid and his help [05:56] Hey guys. [05:56] Now I get: sudo mount -t cifs //gaia/Documents /gaidocs -o username=Danny,password=*** mount error: can not change directory into mount target /gaidocs [05:56] oh,my error [05:57] misspelled gaia... but now it's hanging [05:58] Danny78_: that seems better open another terminal and cd into the share [05:58] connection time out [05:58] oh [05:58] sacarlson: nothing interesting in the logs that i can find D: [05:58] ever since I installed ubuntu 10.10 (I was running 10.04 earlier and did a fresh install), sounds seem... tinny? I removed pulse audio completely and I am now just using ALSA, and I have an AV Chaintech 710 sound card. [05:59] :GeekSquid: I cd and it's empty [05:59] what can I try changing to resolve this? I'm using the same equalizer settings as before with my mp3 player (and playing the same music) [06:00] Hello [06:00] kinks: I have found that upgrading to a later version of alsa from ppa on newer releases seems to help the tinnyness [06:00] GeekSquid: what's ppa? [06:00] !ppa [06:00] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [06:00] ah, thanks. [06:00] If I go to Places > Connect to server. Then connect to a windows machine to share files - Does this rely on the Samba service? [06:00] * [gnubie] waves [06:01] Harmonic: yes [06:01] the witching hour is upon... some of us [06:01] GeekSquid: it's actually making my head hurt, hopefully this helps :s [06:01] When did Samba start coming pre-installed with ubuntu? [06:01] Danny_78 ? [06:02] chaospsychex: midnight here [06:02] hi, for some reason 64-bit version 10.04 of ubuntu won't load any wireless drivers right after install so i can't connect to the internet [06:02] Danny78_: at least you're central! [06:02] this wasnt an issue with 32-bit [06:02] GeekSquid: I just need alsa-lib, correct? [06:02] geeksquad : Thanks. Do you know when samba started coming build in to ubuntu? [06:02] AgentBlair: hook up a ethernet cable [06:02] u kno [06:02] GeekSquid: yeah, but I wish I was back in mountain [06:02] i was thinking just that [06:02] LOL [06:02] but i can't get to it at the moment [06:03] AgentBlair: whats your wireless device? [06:03] GeekSquid: nevermind, I see that it includes all of them. [06:03] it's some HP pavalon wireless device i can't remember let me look it up [06:03] is gparted the partitioner for kubuntu [06:03] ..or.. not [06:03] AgentBlair: sudo lshw -C network will tell you what it is [06:03] I switched back from cifs to smbfs and still the same "mount error (110): Connection timed out" It's like Windows isn't listening [06:04] broadcom, BCM4311 [06:04] Danny78_: can you ping the win machine? [06:04] how much space needed for ubuntu server ? [06:05] hdd space [06:05] AgentBlair: you probably need b43 for that device would be my guess [06:05] azizLIGHTS, depends on what you want on the sever [06:05] !broadcom | AgentBlair [06:05] AgentBlair: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:05] thanks [06:05] psycho_oreos: LAMP [06:05] <[gnubie]> is it really necessary to have the console-kit-daemon running on ubuntu maverick as a server without x? [06:05] azizLIGHTS, probably about a gig at minimum [06:05] GeekSquid: yeah, it pings fine [06:06] AgentBlair: 10.xx, you can probably install the STA driver if you follow the instructin son that page(w/o internet access) [06:06] yeah ok [06:06] I would advise against the use of wl/STA driver for bcm4311.. I'd only use it if b43 doesn't work [06:06] AgentBlair: u still have the 64bit live cd? [06:06] how to change apt repository to cd drive [06:06] [gnubie]: I believe that is required for your console to work properly === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [06:07] i do [06:07] samudayaN, add cds using apt-cd I'd say and then disabling any http repos [06:07] i took it out but i can put it back in [06:07] AgentBlair: well there you go.. :) [06:07] samudayaN: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out everything but the CD, which should be at the top [06:07] s/apt-cd/apt-cdrom [06:07] Is ubuntu responsible for stopping me from using function pointers, hooks, and those sorts of nifty code tricks to control a program [06:08] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: why is that so? other distros don't have a console-kit-daemon running but the console is ok.. why in ubuntu there is this console-kit-daemon running and uses up some memory [06:09] seems it can't find the package [06:09] for many versions (32/64-bit) of adobe flash, under various Ubuntu releases, I find that once it is in full-screen mode. Things are choppy, and are slow [06:09] ill check the CD [06:09] is that normal, and is that the status quo [06:09] AgentBlair: system/admin/synaptic click settings/repositories then on the first tab, check "CD" at the bottom.. close it.. and click reload you'll get a bunch of errors, but don't worry about it. [06:10] AgentBlair: then use synaptic, and install those packages one at a time in the order they are on the walkthrough there. [06:10] [gnubie]: every distro is different, and console-kit-deamon uses less than 0.09% of my ram ... actually it shows 0.0 on ps aux, so is it really a big deal [06:11] ok [06:12] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: mine is 0.5% memory per process (or is this a thread?) [06:12] Hello! Can I ask a quick question about dual booting and Windows Recovery? [06:12] Can anyone tell me if dd and ddrescue are the same program? also how long does dd take to do 100gb drive? [06:13] Crash1hd: a long time [06:13] wow.. it works! [06:13] wants me to insert the disc, when ive done so [06:13] eh ill try this in the morning with direct cable, thanks again [06:13] Blue1: can it be paused? [06:13] now I need to make these shares permanent after any shutdown-bootup [06:13] Crash1hd, ddrescue is based on a similar dd code base but with added features for recovering from a dying disk (usually) [06:13] AgentBlair: is the disk mounted? [06:13] Crash1hd, no [06:13] haha opps [06:14] Crash1hd: not dd afaik [06:14] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: and i have 64 of them [06:14] psycho_oreos: ahh ok thanks :) [06:14] wait yeah it is [06:14] Crash1hd: you might consider rsync [06:14] Is there a way to set dd to be verbose? [06:14] So, if I perform a Windows7 Recovery (restore my laptop to factory state) it's not going to mess with my Ubuntu partition will it? [06:14] AgentBlair: hm. that should work. [06:14] Blue1: rsync will be faster wont it [06:14] Crash1hd, you can kill dd with a certain signal to make it show the progress but it only shows it once and for every time you issue that same kill signal [06:15] [gnubie]: console-kit-daemon ... each process stores information about a single user session seems you have had alot of different terminals open, running different things, this is why there are so many [06:15] Crash1hd: duuno that it would be any faster, but you could do it in chunks [06:15] it's a dvd maybe that's it? [06:15] and dd works differently from rsync, rsync copies only visible files, dd deals with raw nodes and will replicate a complete image from the souce [06:15] AgentBlair: um, don't think so. [06:15] s/souce/source/ [06:15] psycho_oreos: hmm the kill signal kills the process though right [06:16] Crash1hd, not always, some programs will act in a certain way when killed with a specific signal, such as some daemons with -sigint will cause it to reload conf files [06:16] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: i'm the only one who is logged in to this system and it's via ssh [06:16] psycho_oreos: ahh so if there is only 4gb used on the 100gb drive then rsync would be alot faster [06:16] meaning it would continue [06:17] Crash1hd, yes but if you wanted to also copy stuff from MBR (usually when trying to migrate one hard disk data completely to another and make the target disk bootable) you need dd for instance to at least dump the MBR [06:17] psycho_oreos: hmm I've had no issues with rsync and hidden files [06:17] [gnubie]: and apache, and mysql, and dbus, and whatever else, not just physical users, but also system users, or anything that is in /etc/passwd ... including nobody [06:18] I installed root / onto an ext4 drive and I am having trouble mounting it on windows when I need to access it and wanted to format it to ext3 so I created another partition and have been running dd for almost 5hrs now [06:18] Crash1hd, also dd is very handy for parsing the images to forensic utilities when needing to undelete files as dd dumps blocks for blocks unlike rsync which goes by pointers and therefore visible files [06:18] Blue1, read what I said above about deleted files :) [06:18] how do i share files with another lapi having win7 in it throungh a lan wire????????? [06:18] Crash1hd: you can't mount a linux fs onto windows at least I have never done it [06:18] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: ok then. so, it's being used by whoever is in my /etc/passwd.. [06:19] theres 3rd party programs that allow it to work for ext3 just not ext4 [06:19] so I am trying to downgrade the ext [06:19] Blue1: Yeah you can. It just depends on the fs. [06:19] that's one small step for Dan, one giant leap for newbkind [06:19] psycho_oreos: ymmv [06:19] Crash1hd, you need to make it ext3 first and under windows there's ext2ifs which treats ext3 as ext2 (without journaling support) [06:19] Blue1, ymmv? [06:19] right which is what I am trying to do [06:19] but dd is taking for ever [06:19] so wait is the native partitioner in Kubuntu, that channel is silent [06:19] *what [06:19] psycho_oreos: your mileage may vary -- yes it's a logical instead of physical but it works fine [06:20] I am almost thinking of scrapping it and just reinstalling ubuntu [06:20] its a fresh install [06:20] Crash1hd: Yeah, dding the device might take quite a while.... It's probably be easier to copy the data back and forth. [06:20] nit-wit: kparted [06:20] Blue1, not when one wants to dump even the MBR which rsync isn't quite capable :) [06:20] no customization [06:20] !info kparted [06:20] Package kparted does not exist in maverick [06:20] hmm [06:20] I have dual boot with Ubuntu 64bit and Windows7 Professional, if I perform a Windows7 Recovery (restore my laptop to factory state) will mess with my Ubuntu partition? [06:21] anyone had any experience with sangoma cards? [06:21] If your device can write at 10MBps and is 500GB big, that'll take 50,000 seconds. [06:21] !info qtparted [06:21] Package qtparted does not exist in maverick [06:21] Or about 10 hours? [06:21] psycho_oreos: I never need to do that, so I just use rsync. If I need to restore data, hey I can do that with a live cd if need be [06:21] Crash1hd, you could rsync the entire thing and then use dd to dump the MBR which contains grub, then use the dumped image to write back which should work [06:21] aeonik: Probably. [06:21] Thanks to everyone for all your help... installing updates and may be back later peace [06:21] !info partitionmanager [06:21] partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): A partition management utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 430 kB, installed size 2888 kB [06:21] hmm I have /boot on a different partition [06:22] yeah, that is qt based and is similar to gparted [06:22] You could always just copy the data and manually install GRUB. That's what I would do. [06:22] bobthemilkman: yeah easy to do [06:22] Or just start from scratch. You said it's a fresh install, right? [06:22] yes [06:22] ActionParsnip, thanks :) [06:22] Blue1, yeah you can do it with almost any bootable linux medium of your choice but like I said, I'm sure rsync isn't able to see files without pointers (i.e. user's deleted files and blocks that are usually waiting to be overwritten) and hidden parts like MBR which is where grub sits [06:22] Yeah, so why not do a fresh install? It'll take 15 minutes instead of 10 hours. [06:23] thanks bobthemilkman, I will just back everything up then! [06:23] psycho_oreos: correct, but I don't need it too [06:23] the only customization I have done is added my accounts to empathy and custom menu bar and video driver [06:23] aeonik: What you should do is create a bootable linux flash drive. [06:23] grub is on the /boot partition though right [06:23] [gnubie]: if you want to read all about they have been having a discussion about it on launchpad going on 2 years, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/148454 [06:24] Blue1, not as yet but in Crash1hd's case, should Crash1hd use rsync without copying the MBR cannot boot after the process is completed [06:24] aef: Actually, when you do the factory reset, it'll probably completely wipe everything. [06:24] psycho_oreos: why copy the mbr, when you can just re-install grub. [06:24] But I think I did it one time and it only touched the windows partitions. It'll depend on the factory resetting program. [06:24] Crash1hd, yes and no, portions of it sits inside /boot/grub but the bootloader itself is hidden in the MBR [06:25] psycho_oreos: ok which could be on / [06:25] Blue1, unless Crash1hd knows how to install grub bootloader, dd would probably be more times saving [06:25] psycho_oreos: here's the recipe: http://pkill-9.com/?p=314 [06:25] Crash1hd, no its not even on / [06:25] I am just trying to clone / [06:25] and then clone it back after formatting it [06:25] Crash1hd: if that is your goal then dd is best [06:26] If I were you, I'd just pop in a thumb drive and do "for i in $(ls / | grep -v dev | grep -v proc | grep -v sys | grep -v mnt | grep -v media); do cp -rfa /media/USBDRIVE; done [06:26] <[gnubie]> GeekSquid: thanks for the link.. ;) [06:27] ActionParsnip, what is the graphic ie gksudo in ubuntu command in Kubuntu [06:27] Then run all your windows repair things, and then reinstall linux, and then do a cp -vrf /dev/USBDRIVE/* / [06:27] Blue1, I'm not saying its not possible, but a two lines of dd, one to dump and the other to write can really shorten the amount of steps as required from that link [06:27] aeonik: But that's just what I would do. There's 1000x other ways of doing it. :) [06:27] I'm Out, Goodnight ubuntuers, goodmorning to those on the western coast of europe and africa ... some of us need sleeep [06:28] Oh woops! [06:28] bobthemilkman: I have never tried that, I will give it a shot. First I need to get myself a sufficiently big drive! [06:28] "for i in $(ls / | grep -v dev | grep -v proc | grep -v sys | grep -v mnt | grep -v media); do cp -rfa /$i /media/USBDRIVE/; done" [06:28] Would be the correct one. [06:28] You could always use a different partition instead of a USB drive, or another computer via ssh, or something like that. [06:29] thanks all for the help [06:29] Yeah, honestly if it were me, I wouldn't be using a USB drive, but actually sshing it to another machine. [06:29] sshfs ;) [06:29] Yes, sshfs is your friend. :) [06:29] well it makes life heck alot easier as compared to meddling with scp and then using pipes on the same line for instance [06:29] Hi, can I list the ip addresses for computers on my network? [06:30] Syria, no, not passively [06:30] Also, there's some method for reinstalling everything from aptitude, but I forgot how to do it off the top of my head. At any rate, you could save your /home and /etc folders, and then just install ubuntu, and then copy the /home and /etc back in. [06:30] psycho_oreos I can do this on windows using norton so is there in program that I can use? [06:30] not passively and not unless if you're not a router/gateway in which all devices on your network must pass through [06:31] how do i share folder with win 7 [06:31] me__w, you might want to ask that in ##windows [06:31] Syria: you can install clamav-daemon [06:31] me__w, with samba [06:31] Syria, well I don't know how norton works [06:31] Can someone give me a simplified, practical explanation of fakeroot? I've read, but don't really grasp it. [06:32] Actually, win7 isn't 100% intercompatible with samba any more... [06:32] There's something special you have to do now... [06:32] ActionParsnip Thnx, I will install it now. [06:32] psycho_oreos: i was asking sharing with win7 and i having ubuntu [06:32] psycho_oreos, how would people in windows know how to share a folder with ubuntu ? [06:32] r00t4rd3d: but how???? [06:32] psycho_oreos I want to shutdown a remote machine. [06:32] Syria: is not needed unless yuo are running a file or mail server though [06:32] Hi. Is it possible to install flash 10.2 on 32bit 10.10? I ask because from what ive read it imples to be for x64. Thanks. [06:32] bobthemilkman: I wasn't aware of that. What do you have to do special in Win 7 to share? [06:32] Syria: clamav-daemon is a realtime scanner of files [06:33] I don't remember the specifics.... I think you might have to do mount .... -o user=Guest.... [06:33] Or something like that.... [06:33] r00t4rd3d, he said: how do i share folder with win 7 ... so how has that got to do with ubuntu when he did not include the words ubuntu in the query? [06:33] ActionParsnip Can I install it this way? sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon [06:34] It is implied that he wants to do it with an ubuntu box. [06:34] bobthemilkman: huh. I didn't know that. [06:34] shawnboy: Did it work? [06:34] Syria: sure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV [06:34] me__w, you're not being specific either.. for ubuntu to see windows shares, for ubuntu to share directories/etc with windows, ??? [06:34] bobthemilkman: I am not trying it, just caught your reply and was curious. [06:34] psycho_oreos: i was asking abt both [06:34] well I really didn't see it being implied, then again [06:34] me__w, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ [06:35] haha ok so I jumped out a little too soon, I ran sudo kill -USR1 pid and it came back with dd at 95gb copied at 10.5Mb/s on a 102GB drive (how much longer will it take again?) [06:35] bobthemilkman: I'm trying to figure out what fakeroot is all about. [06:35] hello [06:35] I have a second question. Would it be possible to build a computer that runs on steam (water) and get a simple prototype to run ubuntu? i can look at the ubuntu requirments and all that \ [06:35] You shouldn't require fakeroot. [06:35] me__w, well bobthemilkman said something about one requiring extra steps to make win7 connect to ubuntu shares [06:36] Fakeroot is to make programs think they have root. This is kind of strange and not very frequently required... [06:36] I am using ubuntu 8.04 LTS [06:36] (Usually it's better to just use root!) [06:36] Crash1hd, it doesn't tell you, you can only guess by judging the speed at which its going and how much spaces are left [06:36] does that mean if my math is right 10.5*1024/60 is how much time per gb [06:36] bobthemilkman: I just installed pure-ftpd and pureadmin. Setting up, pureadmin has option for "use fakeroot" & says it's recommended. I was just curious. [06:37] we can work out our hardware contract later. [06:37] You shouldn't need those. You shouldn't need anything aside from openssh, which should be installed in ubuntu by default [06:37] when I am trying : openbravo@vvecles:-$ sudo su [06:37] haha I was going to cancel it and theres like 5Gb left lol [06:37] Crash1hd, I'd say 10.5*1000/60 for GB per minutes [06:38] why 1000 and not 1024? [06:38] I am getting openbravo is not a sudoers file. This incident will be reported [06:38] hi all I have a quick question [06:38] bobthemilkman: when you say "just use root" do you mean sudo? [06:38] Yeah [06:38] Or if that fails, sudo -s, then the command. [06:38] If you have root on the box, you should never require fakeroot, unless there's some obscure reason. [06:39] sunit: edit the /etc/sudoers file [06:39] I've mainly used firefox for the past while, but there are some error's it causes my computer, I do however love chrome, only problem is, my flash player in chrome is extremely laggy, help? [06:39] Crash1hd, its not denoted as binary measurement but rather Si [06:39] ahh right [06:39] hi [06:39] is there a way to calculate CIDR from Netmask ? [06:39] eremyja : but It's a CLI server. [06:39] Try mount -o nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest [06:39] Crash1hd, actually I could be wrong but have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix [06:40] Or just sudo mount -o nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest [06:40] sunit: it will have examples, i think the part you want is towrads the end [06:40] sunit: use nano /etc/sudoers [06:40] You might not need the -o user=Guest, but I think there was something strange where Win7 requires *some* value in the user field, even if it's a nonexisting user. [06:40] ajwill, is flash full screen slow in other browsers too? [06:40] bobthemilkman: thanks for the info. That's the kind of info I was looking for. [06:40] Oh woops! [06:40] I mean sudo mount -t nfs, not -o nfs. [06:41] eremyja : to edit I have to use sudo nano /etc/sudoers [06:41] ajwill, message me. [06:41] Doinkle, nope, in firefox I have flash running fine, I can do full screen or just windowed, but in chrome even just watching a youtube (non fullscreen) is laggy and horrible [06:41] sunit, I wouldn't do that, normally one is supposed to use visudo [06:41] thanks again :) [06:41] ajwill, i just found a fix for my own flash problem, msg me and ill paste what i tried..and worked for me [06:41] sunit: use: export EDITOR=nano; sudo visudo [06:42] psycho_oreos: thats right, forgot about that.. oops :/ [06:43] sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.X.X /mnt -o user=Guest. If you want to mount more than every now and then, you might want to modify your /etc/fstab file to automount it, and create a folder like /media/network and share it there. [06:43] Hello. Would anyone need help with anything? [06:43] Although I believe /mnt/network is the appropriate subfolder to use. [06:43] i want to learn what actualy going on when a software instals n ubuntu [06:43] can anyone pls tell me how to share folder my ubuntu with win 7 [06:43] eremyja, well now you know :) afaik sudoers file has some sort of checksum, most likely MD5 to prevent file being tampered [06:43] Anyway, google the terms, "mount" "nfs" "smbfs" and you should be able to do it. [06:43] me__w: install samba and you can use nautilus to share folder [06:44] and none of my drives are getting open , they are getting open in vlc player when i click on them? [06:44] ActionParsnip: how to use nautilus [06:44] well [06:44] lets see, me_w [06:44] me__w: its the default file manager in Ubuntu [06:44] Psycho_oreos: yeah, learned that the hard way unfortunately.. surprised i forgot so soon! [06:45] i want to learn what actualy going on when a software instals n ubuntu [06:45] ActionParsnip: but how do i use it,from terminal????/ [06:45] and none of my drives are getting open , they are getting open in vlc player when i click on them? [06:45] me__w: in a server you'll need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:45] babaji, normally the software goes into packages and can be varied from distro to distro, under ubuntu those software packages usually have the file extension .deb [06:45] hi ActionParsnip :) [06:45] me__w: no gui at all? [06:45] I would see it as the easiest way(if you just dont want to go through a lot of folders) to buy a USB memory stick. 2GB models are avalible for about $5 if you look. [06:45] eremyja, time to make a mental note ;) [06:46] psycho_oreos: can i get documentation or some kind of book about it?? [06:46] hi chalcedony [06:46] me__w: if thats the case then you dont have/cant use nautilus [06:47] babaji, you might be interested in looking into DEB package management HOWTO on internet [06:47] eremyja: s/he went [06:47] actionparsnip: yeah, just noticed... [06:48] psycho_oreos: thanks man, and also i am unable to open any of my hard disk drives, by default when i click on them they get open in vlc player!!

[06:53] babaji, I'd look into something like file associations for example [06:54] wsx, join in either #ubuntu-cn, #ubuntu-tw or #ubuntu-hk [06:55] babaji, try uninstalling vlc? might correct associations.. then u could reinstall [06:56] babaji: just delete .gnome2 .gconf .config .local folders from home, logout and login again..that should reset to the default ubuntu settings [06:56] eremyja: ya that might work, let me try it up [06:57] bonjoyee: trying it [06:57] ActionParsnip: when I tried with export EDITOR=nano; sudo visudo [06:59] I was asked for password and I got the same error as openbravo is not the sudoer file [06:59] sunit: You might need to relogin before it takes effect. [06:59] eremyja:thanks for ur help, it worked. :) :) [07:00] ok [07:00] Hi [07:01] good morning :) [07:01] bonjoyee:can i change my nautalius file manager to other file managers?

The channel alone consists of mostly English speakers [07:05] Can anyone tell me how to get my network icon back on my task bar? [07:06] babaji, you could try holding shift, select the file that needs to be permanently deleted and hit the delete button on you keyboard [07:07] MeatMcBadass, hmm you might want to try right clicking on the panel and click on add new item, from there check to see if network manager or nm-applet, etc is available from the list [07:07] babaji, s/you/your/ [07:08] howdy [07:08] Yeah, neither is there:? [07:08] psycho_oreos: after deleting the file it does go to trash can instead gets directly deleted!! [07:08] MeatMcBadass, it might not be add new item, but something similar [07:08] what is the common sollutions to /dev/fb0 failed [07:08] babaji, even when holding shift key? [07:09] I have add new pannel properties delete and add to pannel [07:09] meatmcbadass: quoting bonjoyee: 'just delete .gnome2 .gconf .config .local folders from home, logout and login again..that should reset to the default ubuntu settings' just a possibility [07:09] * korben greets all [07:09] psycho_oreos: ya [07:09] MeatMcBadass, try add to panel instead [07:09] babaji, weird, I dunno then :) [07:10] Anyone need help with anything?

[07:11] meatmcbadass: (but listen to psycho_oreos first, ive never gotten to work that way before tho...) [07:11] The prop drivers are in use, but wireless is still 'disabled'. [07:11] ubottu, you are the man [07:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:11] Jamesuperfun, which driver are you using?

[07:14] jamessuperfun, bet ur internets not to fast w/o wireless :P [07:15] jamesuperfun, its a laptop im assuming? [07:15] since wifis built in [07:16] Jamesuperfun, have you pasted the `lspci -nnk' output into pastebin? [07:16] http://pastebin.com/NVmaP7V6 [07:16] ya [07:16] sorry, I only have a few minutes, but I belive its a silkly thing i missed [07:17] Hello everybody, how to update the grub menu in order to see the OS name in other hard-disk? I am using 10.10? Please help [07:17] Jamesuperfun, hmm hard to diagnose when you're using broadcom's proprietary driver, it might be acpi issue [07:17] Jamesuperfun, in a terminal sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [07:17] ok then [07:18] !grub2| abe [07:18] abe: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:18] Jamesuperfun, have you installed that already ? [07:18] yup [07:18] its fully up-to-date [07:19] Jamesuperfun, pastebin your `dmesg' output [07:19] ok [07:19] Jamesuperfun, try the b43 driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43%20drivers [07:19] hello, when i try to compile a program i get an error concerning QGLWidget. I use Kubuntu Hardy Heron. What have i to install? [07:20] sta is broadcoms driver and b43 is the open source one. People have different luck with each. [07:20] exit [07:20] http://pastebin.com/gkcVZmtx [07:20] ubottu: I was using 10.04 in my second HDD, and 10.10 in first one. After 10.04 crashed, I have installed Windows on it. But the grub menu is not updated. It shows old entries in boot menu. i.e. of 10.10 and 10.04 [07:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:20] ok ill try [07:20] Jamesuperfun, whats rfkill list say ? [07:20] Jamesuperfun, you'll need to unload wl first prior to using b43 and to prevent wl from loading you'll need to blacklist it [07:20] Heh. I am doing a Broadcom BCM4306 as we speak :) [07:21] ok [07:21] ubottu: So, how to make it show windows entry in grub 2 menu? Just updating the grub will work? [07:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:21] lol i fel like a total n00b in this [07:22] Jamesuperfun, for some reason that output of dmesg isn't complete [07:22] Hilarious [07:22] ya [07:22] abe, you'll need to edit the config file as per ubottu's link [07:22] i posted the whole terminal window [07:23] it didnt seem to fit i had other commands you gave me and they dissapeared [07:23] psycho_oreos: ok [07:23] Jamesuperfun, I think there's more than that for some reason, do this `sudo aptitude install pastebinit && dmesg| pastebinit -' [07:24] jamesuperfun, you could try piping ur commands then reading the file [07:24] psycho_oreos: I will try it and let you know. Have a nice time! [07:24] :) [07:25] ok it gave me a pastebin link [07:25] abe, good luck :) [07:25] Jamesuperfun, paste me that pastebin link :) [07:25] or that.. psycho_oreos, im starting to think ur to good... :P [07:25] ok [07:25] eremyja, my method is less time consuming and more direct :) [07:25] I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center. It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu. Do I need to activate it? If not, how can I access it. [07:25] http://pastebin.com/BMuHSR1j [07:25] eremyja, I'm not that good yet :p much to learn [07:26] maybe we should try and fix this later? I have like 2 mins [07:27] Hey guys, is there a way to monitor bandwidth usage over an interface? (3G device) [07:27] Hello. I'm trying to make a 'live usb' rather than using a dvd. I'm using usb-creator-gtk in ubuntu 10.04 but when I select my iso(linux mint debian) it does not appear. When I select an ubuntu iso it will appear. Any ideas? [07:27] Jamesuperfun, hmm well I suppose you could try ask again later when you have more time I suppose [07:27] bluegoon: there probably are more than a few of those, what exactly do you want to do? [07:28] ok thanks [07:28] does it look hopeful? I can use a ethernet cable, but its not too easy [07:28] spymouth, try using unetbootin instead [07:29] Jamesuperfun, wl driver is not the best choice, and the support for that specific chipset via b43 (community derived) is slowly maturing [07:30] spymouth: Ubuntu's Live USB creator only works with Ubuntu images. Try unetbootin. [07:30] sugoruyo, hey man, Ive got a 5 gig cap and wish to monitor my usage === tommy_ is now known as Guest88842 [07:31] Thanks for the fast reply. I've just installed unetbootin and I'm trying it now. [07:31] bluegoon, 3g tethering/mobile? [07:32] Why i can't change the folder permession? failed to change mode of `uploads' to 0000 (---------) [07:32] bluegoon, how much detail do you need for data usage monitoring? for starters there's gkrellm which monitors per interface and generates a daily, weekly and monthly tables for both upload and download on that interface === Azerox is now known as jpmonette [07:33] Syria, maybe you don't have ownership to that file/directory [07:33] psycho_oreos, that sounds good man, I just need a data usage monitor thats it [07:33] * eremyja is tired and saying stupid things..time to go! good night! [07:33] psycho_oreos Actually the folder uploads was not existed, wordpress did not create it automatically as usual. thank you [07:34] nite eremyja [07:34] bluegoon, fair enough, enjoy :) [07:34] Anyone have success installing ftp server? I can't get pure-ftpd and pureadmin to work [07:34] Syria, there you go [07:35] try vsftp @shawnboy [07:36] is there a guide on installing GTK+ and themes? [07:36] Thanks dude, im sorted :) [07:36] I am currently logged onto and using Windows Vista with a working wireless connection. I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 alongside Vista on my computer. I cannot connect to wired or wireless connections in Ubuntu. My wired card is a Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet, and my wireless card is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card. I understand these drivers need to be downloaded and... [07:36] GKrellM ftw [07:36] ...installed onto Ubuntu, which can be done via Additional Drivers under Administration. Naturally, I can't download these drivers because I have no way to connect to the internet in Ubuntu. How can I install these drivers onto Ubuntu (if that is in fact what I need to do)? [07:37] bluegoon, there maybe some complications with using it, such as for example if you're using the same interface for local LAN traffic, gkrellm cannot distinguish the differences [07:38] psycho_oreos, No lan traffic, just a 3G dongle, I have the interface up as ppp0 [07:39] bluegoon, ahh that should be all good then, and also provided that you don't plug that dongle anywhere else too :) I have wireless broadband (3G) connected to a router and I connect using ethernet. gkrellm collects statistics from data going to 3G and other computers within the network :) [07:40] Nice :) [07:40] cricketeer, hmm do you happen to have some other form of network connection? [07:40] I have no way at all to access the internet in Ubuntu. [07:41] specifics? [07:41] Guest88842: i'll lokok at vsftp [07:41] cricketeer, that's going to be quite difficult, normally broadcom wired should be supported but then again.. that dell wireless could be anything so I need something like `lspci -nnk' output [07:42] I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center. It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu. Do I need to activate it? If not, how can I access it. [07:42] Ah...how can I provide that? [07:43] cricketeer, by booting into linux.. and because you don't have internet access, you will need to copy and paste the output into a file in which windows can access (its only ASCII text) [07:44] Okay, so in Terminal I should type in "lspci -nnk"? [07:44] (Sans quotation marks, natch.) [07:45] After the USB install of ubuntu 10.10, it seems Windows 7 has gone, how do I modify the grub loader? [07:45] cricketeer, no, without quotes [07:46] Yes, exactly. [07:46] cricketeer, yup [07:46] And then put the ensuing text into a suitable file and stick it somewhere where I can get to it in Windows. [07:46] how to fix un-themed application when using root privilege? [07:47] cricketeer, yes but when you're back in windows with internet access, you will need to paste the contents of the file into pastebin and then paste the link to the pastebin into the channel here [07:47] Anyone got an idea how to make my pen tablet work? I followed the guide on the forums but it's not working [07:47] already try to run gksu gnome-appearance-properties but still can't change the theme. [07:47] Anyone here with an ATI 5850? [07:47] Able to download ATI drivers for ubuntu? [07:47] Got it, psycho. [07:47] I'll be back in a few minutes. Thanks a bunch. [07:47] bluegoon, hmm you could have a look at grub.cfg, but there might be an easier method, that is to use liveUSB to boot ubuntu into rescue mode and reinstall grub from there [07:48] psycho_oreos, will check it out, thanks [07:49] Does 10.10 support ATI well? [07:49] bluegoon, it heavily depends on chipset version [07:50] ATi's support on linux in general has been flaky [07:50] ok [07:50] Seems 5xxx series is OK [07:50] !ati| bluegoon [07:50] bluegoon: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:50] Cheers thanks [07:51] nw [07:51] psycho_oreos, sudo update-grub2 made everything alright! Thanks for the help! Cheers! [07:52] abe, there you go :) nw [07:56] psycho: Here's the information. [07:56] hi all. just wondering how/where nautilus creates and sets permissions for shares.

[07:57] i.e. unable to boot [07:57] psycho_oreos, there seems to be a ATI binary driver (?) in the software center [07:57] bluegoon, I'd use that then, fglrx will give you faster rendering in general and lower CPU overhead usage [07:57] !broadcom| cricketeer [07:58] cricketeer: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:58] Crackers.

[07:58] cricketeer, don't paste more than 3 lines because its known as flooding [07:58] psycho: Yes, it was an honest mistake. I didn't understand what you meant by pastebin.

[07:59] cricketeer, the wireless part came through which I got the bot to give you a link on howto install it [07:59] Is there a way I can connect to my Ubuntu PC using VNC before login ? [08:00] cricketeer, try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access [08:00] Jordan_U, hi man, the boot issue [08:00] Jordan_U, ? [08:00] bluegoon: Yes. [08:01] Jordan_U, still updating Ubuntu, afterwards ill look into finding a gui based boot manager maybe [08:01] Okay, let me jot that down and give it a shot. (I'm really learning as I go along here.) [08:01] bluegoon: All you should need to do is run "sudo update-grub" to have an entry for windows added automatically. [08:01] Jordan_U, its strange that grub doesnt present options on boot, it just goes straight to ubuntu, though it has been installed on a different hard drive. [08:01] I'll come back with results soon. Sorry again for the flooding. [08:02] Jordan_U, Thank you, let me try [08:02] bluegoon: You're welcome. [08:02] cricketeer, make sure to download all necessary files from that link too before proceeding [08:02] Yes, got it. [08:02] Here goes nothin'...

[08:05] <[1]sonictk> if I try recovery mode I get to the line [1.583106] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 and then nothing else [08:06] \commands [08:06] [1]sonictk, I'd try getting into grub2 menu (there should be a key for that), edit the kernel line to not have the words `quiet', `splash' and append the words `noacpi'. Then try booting it, you might see stuff on the screen [08:08] !wireless [08:08] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:08] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: is that basically um editing the grub commands before booting? [08:08] [1]sonictk, correct [08:08] <[1]sonictk> there's no "quiet" or "splash" strings in there [08:09] the guake application doesn't have true transparency anymore, any reason why? it previously did show windows underneath it, now it just hogs space and doesn't let me see anything underneath it [08:09] [1]sonictk: would you mind letting people on here know if any success with 10.10 netbook remix? I was going to install on my new netbook but have been reading about some problems people have been having on blogs. And then on facebook, a few videos of never ending bugs show as switching applications via side bar or dock. [08:09] [1]sonictk, the first thing you will see is the various OS/kernel choices, you have to go into edit mode and then you should see I think 4 lines, one of which contains the word `kernel' [08:09] sorry not facebook, youtube. [08:10] <[1]sonictk> @yayoj1: I got it working, but after I updated the kernel via update manager, GRUB works, and I can select my OS to boot, but Ubuntu won't boot for some reason [08:10] Hello. I'm trying to setup a DHCP server on Ubuntu server and I'm having a WICKID time trying to get it running. syslog says "No subnet declaration for eth0 (10.0.0.10)." [08:10] you have to set the subnet [08:10] I'm using this as a tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [08:10] I've looked at vsftpd and pureftpd... I'm getting frustrated. Is there not an ftp server for Linux that is easy to get going? [08:10] How do I set the subnet? [08:10] 255.255.0.0 [08:10] try that [08:10] ? [08:11] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: I appended "noacpi" to the boot options but I'm still stuck at [08:11] I downloaded a youtube video downloaded from the ubuntu software center. It is not displayed in my applications drop down menu. Do I need to activate it? If not, how can I access it. [08:11] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: 1.583070 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 when it boots [08:11] theres not a input field where you can choose the subnet? [08:11] in dhcp.conf? [08:11] yeah check it out [08:12] [1]sonictk: I have been told the netbook remix sucks, no matter which version of ubuntu remix you download. I have known people to just install the desktop version on the netbooks [08:12] [1]sonictk, hmm I need lot more information than that, maybe pastebin 10 lines prior to that [08:12] probably something like subnet='' [08:12] Hang on, let me post my dhcp config [08:12] yeah do that [08:12] Nope, nothing like that in the dhcp conf [08:12] pastebin.org your conf file [08:12] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: rg, hang on [08:13] [1]sonictk: I am still very curios to install and try for myself. [08:13] just wondering. [08:13] I guess nobody uses ftp servers [08:13] Do you have the IP address of pastebin? My ISP randomly blocks dns requests. [08:13] shawnboy: whats your question about ftp servers? [08:13] i don't [08:14] Hey guys. How do I do a static IP map in my resolv.conf without NetworkManager overwriting it? [08:14] chaospsychex: http://pastebin.com/WQccXG4j [08:14] ohzie, why not just add the static IP map into nm-applet? [08:14] one sec fish [08:15] NP mate. [08:16] psycho_oreos: I don't see any global dns configuration in nm-applet. It's all connection-specific. [08:16] yayoj1: just looking for one that i can get up and running relatively easily. [08:16] psycho_oreos: and it's just setting nameservers, not static resolutions. [08:16] DarkstarC4: no thanks [08:16] tried pure-ftpd. came close, but won't let me login [08:17] shawnboy: If you're looking for something quick and not painful to set up, don't use FTP at all. Just go with SSH and winscp/filezilla. =D [08:17] ohzie, well that's true its all connection specific but the only other way I know it is using a dirty hack which makes it only you can edit the file [08:17] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: typing the output is a bitch... http://pastebin.com/AFFG9Kxc [08:17] shawnboy: if you need to jail people into their home directories, there are a few how-tos I found on google. [08:17] and that works on only ext fs [08:17] [1]sonictk: language please [08:18] <[1]sonictk> sorry [08:18] psycho_oreos: Thank you for trying. :( <3 [08:19] [1]sonictk, hmm bugger, that output isn't any useful either, it could be anything.. [08:19] <[1]sonictk> hmm does ubuntu write its startup boot log to a file or anything that I can grab via Terminal or something [08:19] i use scp sometimes but it's a pain when dealing with lots of files within folders. I read the pure-ftpd and pureadmin howto but I still can't login [08:19] ohzie, the hack works but its very nasty :) done it before way back before networkmanager was even conceived [08:20] shawnboy, for that you use sshfs [08:20] shawnboy: I really got to like gFTP [08:20] yayoj1, that's a client not a daemon [08:20] y0 [08:21] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thanks, actually I had to reinstall ubuntu previously to get it booting again...but then when I updated the kernel via update manager this happened again. This is actually my 2nd experience with a Linux distro, so is keeping the kernel updated important? or can I just leave it and you know, get work done? [08:21] i have ubuntu version 8 can i update it to maverick ? [08:21] spicemaster: 8.04 can update to 10.04 (lucid) -- 8.10 can only update to 9.04 [08:21] ubuntu and me didn't play nice today. first XGi graphics card woes ... then I installed a GeForce 9500 GT and that also failed miserably :( [08:22] [1]sonictk, usually updating kernel provides more features usually, or bug fixes, etc.. but it seems as though you're constantly having issues with the newly downloaded and installed kernel which is quite weird [08:22] psycho_oreos: I'm interested in sshfs, but FTP is pretty common still and would like to get it working. [08:22] hi [08:22] yayoj1: I haven't looked at gFTPd but have tried pureftpd and vsftpd. [08:23] I get problems logging in. [08:23] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: I know, at first I thought maybe it was because I was updating over wifi and the download process was interrupted or something (not sure how ubuntu downloads work, do they verify checksums before installing?) so I tried again, still the same [08:24] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: hmm is there anything I can do via GRUB to get ubuntu to spit out its bootup log to a file or something [08:24] shawnboy: I was gonna suggest vsftpd, it's pretty simple [08:24] shawnboy, I have at one stage got pureftpd to work without using the pure-admin but it was a pita imo [08:24] psycho_oreos: took words out of my mouth about pure-ftpd. [08:24] shawnboy: I don't know of to many more for Ubuntu [08:24] maco, ohhh i see [08:25] psycho_oreos and eremyja : sudo export EDITOR=nano && visudo lead to password prompt. Giving password I got : openbravo is not in sudoers file [08:25] crap, when I was on Windows I just installed Filezilla server and was done with it. [08:25] I thought FTPd and linux would go together like hand and glove. [08:25] [1]sonictk, hmm I'm not sure if the individually downloaded deb files are checked prior to installing.. as for bootup logs, it usually sits inside the /var/log/ directory, something like dmesg.log [08:25] hi there [08:25] proving not to be so easy [08:25] how should I edit the file ? [08:25] any malaysian here [08:25] shawnboy, there's lots of ftpd's for linux [08:26] !my | fadli [08:26] shawnboy, well you can't really compare windows and linux like that.. they were meant to be targeted for different audiences [08:26] fadli: bantuan bahasa melayu? sila join #ubuntu-my [08:26] <[1]sonictk> oh wait. does NOT installing GRUB to the root of the hard drive have anything to do with it? cause I have a OSX install on another partition and had to install GRUB to a different partition instead so that Chameleon bootloader would be the first one to load... [08:27] <[1]sonictk> oh wait [08:27] <[1]sonictk> I can't mount my partition from grub huh [08:27] [1]sonictk, no it shouldn't because you have had unr working, no? [08:27] <[1]sonictk> I did [08:27] psycho_oreos: true, but it's a little irritating to not be able to just get a basic FTPd up and going, then customize as necessary. [08:27] <[1]sonictk> until I updated the kernel, so I dunno if somehow that screwed it up [08:27] [1]sonictk, grub has limited set of features, it can't really mount disks afaik [08:27] <[1]sonictk> cause I guess I'm not supposed to install 2 bootloaders am I :X [08:27] celthunder: and they all seem to require obscure steps to setup and get working. === devver_ is now known as devver [08:28] shawnboy, don't know what you're doing but vsftpd or proftpd work pretty much out of the box for me [08:28] even setting up other auth methods doesn't take too long [08:29] <[1]sonictk> ack. should I just live with reinstalling ubuntu again and not updating the kernel? is that, I don't know safe, etc. I am totally clueless about Linux and Ubuntu apart from the basic Terminal commands. [08:29] <[1]sonictk> *if it's safe [08:30] yea shawnboy vsftpd works without much effort [08:30] shawnboy, there's plenty of other softwares out there that requires one to tinker around a bit to get things to work. Granted that its not easy but think of it as a challenge to contribute in your learning curve [08:30] [1]sonictk, if its just updateing the kernel that broke don't you have a fallback? [08:30] hi .. is it possible to open an .pages (MAC) file on ubuntu? or convert it? any ideas? [08:30] [1]sonictk, boot with that and change the fallback to be your normal kernel [08:30] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: what do you mean by fallback? [08:31] psycho_oreos: I usually do. I guess tonight I was in mood of just wanting to get something working in 5 minutes ...like pureftpd's website claims. [08:31] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: you mean previous kernel version? [08:31] [1]sonictk, like another kernel inside the grub menu [08:31] [1]sonictk, yeah when it updates it should add a fallback to the grub menu for your previous kernel [08:31] <[1]sonictk> @celthunder: yes, I tried that AND its recovery mode as well. same problem [08:31] so...you sure that the kernel is the problem? [08:31] tommy__: I found help page for vsftpd and it looks fairly involved in setting up too. I may still try it if I can't solve pure-ftpd problems. [08:32] (i didn't see what actually was happening to you came in half way through sorry) [08:32] Hello. My MacBook Pro gets all corruptedy when booting from Live USB. I've tried adding nomodeset and radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel boot params, but that doesn't change anything, and it looks like KMS is still enabled. What should I mark on here to make sure that I use a basic video driver that is not going to kill my computer? [08:32] shawnboy, well that 5-minutes may only just mean for very basic setup [08:32] I would prefer to use the real video driver actually if possible, is there some parameter that I need to pass to make it work [08:32] <[1]sonictk> I don't know FOR SURE, but when I was doing the update manager the 2nd time round I updated everything one by one and this problem only started after I did the security kernel update [08:34] psycho_oreos: for now I'd settle for that... ie. access on my LAN. [08:34] shawnboy, well for remote access one needs to add port forwarding on router imo [08:35] and then depending on your ISP, not all ISPs allow their customers to run daemons on very low ports [08:35] whats the root password upon install, ubuntu server 10.10 [08:35] err low port numbers [08:35] psycho_oreos: only for external access, right? [08:35] azizLIGHTS, there's none, use sudo [08:35] whats up [08:35] http://neonsaki.blogspot.com/ Hey Guys.. [08:35] you cant login as root locally? [08:35] azizLIGHTS, no password change it with sudo [08:35] http://neonsaki.blogspot.com/ Hey Guys.. [08:35] shawnboy, no, once you enable port forwarding, both internal and external network can access the server [08:35] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: actually, out of curiosity, could I ask, if you had this problem and reformatting the partition was not an option, how would you go about troubleshooting the issue? [08:35] you can login with a blank password for root locally ? [08:35] NeonSaki: don't advertise in here, please. [08:36] azizLIGHTS: its disabled by default use sudo su [08:36] azizLIGHTS, no...it's disabled sudo su - and change the pw [08:36] i'm getting sleepy. I'll have to solve this ftpd thing another day. [08:36] thanks all. [08:36] I have a Kde problem, can anyone help me? [08:36] so if i change the password of root using sudo su, can i login as root locally or is it still disabled? [08:37] i know i can do sudo, but am curious [08:37] [1]sonictk, I'd use liveUSB to read the logs and to see if there's any useful information from dmesg logs or any other logs that has their mtime updated. Then I check the rootfs to see if the init scripts are there [08:37] !noroot | azizLIGHTS, celthunder [08:37] azizLIGHTS, celthunder: We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [08:37] !root [08:37] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:37] rww: nice [08:38] * celthunder shrugs i gave myself a root pw and just leave term 3 logged in as root all the time [08:38] so whats the point of changing the root pw [08:38] There is no point. [08:38] dont do it? [08:39] yes don't do it azizLIGHTS [08:39] Running everything as root is exceedingly dangerous to your system. Just use Sudo to elevate yourself for select tasks. [08:39] after setting the root passwd is it possible to turn it back? [08:39] lol @celthunder [08:39] ok got it [08:39] pvl1: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo , it has instructions for that [08:39] pvl1, yes [08:40] there is but its circumstantial.. e.g. vmware configurations don't necessarily honour the use of sudo/gksu/kdesu but instead prefers you to give the root password. That was the case with vmware workstation 6.5 [08:40] in KDE, when I try to run programs that have Icons in the system tray( banshee for example ) I get this blank xmessage that, if closed, causes my entire plasma desktop to disappear. What causes this problem? P.s. I'm a noob [08:40] rww, thanks, you just reminded me to do that on my router box. wouldnt want that open [08:40] hi [08:40] tommy__, i don't run everything as root just leave it logged in for when i need it [08:40] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thanks. uhh when you say liveUSB....can I use the live USB stick with my ubuntu install? But I don't recall seeing an option for it to get me into terminal or anything like that [08:40] c0dewiz, hi [08:40] how can it be that my eth0 has address 192.168.1.13 while i configured in kde nm applett an address of 192.168.1.11? [08:41] c0dewiz, reset networking [08:41] I don't see anything to revert to the old root password [08:41] malx_poogee_loo, a blank xmessage? [08:41] I would assume that it would be a security risk to allow reverting to an old password. [08:41] fishscene edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and take it out? [08:41] [1]sonictk, well when you run live USB with desktop image iirc you get xorg session, you can just make it run gnome-terminal for instance or switch to a real console via Ctrl+Alt+F{1-6} with Ctrl+Alt+F7 being the Xorg [08:42] it says: [08:42] is just message that has an orange x icon on it [08:42] Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [08:42] Well ok, deleting the password isn't the same as reverting :P [08:43] no it isn't have a look at other users and notice the !! marks [08:43] fishscene, the default pw is a commented out pw what's the difference [08:43] c0dewiz, resset again [08:43] it has no title and the message body is blank. It may also be called a dialogue window\ [08:43] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: wait so you mean I just boot into the live ubuntu image and try mounting my disk from there? oh wait yea what I am saying that's kind of the whole point of a live CD anyway [08:43] revert means it stores old password. Delete/comment out means the password isn't set. [08:43] malx_poogee_loo, ok, is it one specific app that cause that or many [08:44] this time the error doesnt appear, but the interface is still on .13 [08:44] [1]sonictk, more or less, there's hardly any difference between liveCD and liveUSB when you have ubuntu running on either. The only difference if anything is the rootfs of the live medium and generally performance variances [08:45] most apps that have have an Icon in the system tray when they open: Banshee, Vlc, etc. [08:45] I was thinking more on the administration and security practices rather than at the file-level. [08:45] malx_poogee_loo, go look at your /var/log/syslog file [08:45] c0dewiz, look at my message [08:45] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: thank you very much! sorry about that, I really need to slap myself again since I keep a suse liveCD around for that very purpose haha [08:46] [1]sonictk, you can use any linux liveCD or any distro liveCD/liveUSB. The process is more or less the same once you get to console level, you just need to go through mounting and maybe if anything chrooting [08:47] <[1]sonictk> @psycho_oreos: for now I'm going to just (again) reformat the partition, reinstall ubuntu, and just install everything apart from the kernel updates and see if it works. if it still dies on boot then I'll look at the logs [08:47] <[1]sonictk> wait chrooting? that's changing folder permissions right? [08:47] [1]sonictk, no [08:47] !chroot| [1]sonictk [08:47] [1]sonictk: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [08:47] <[1]sonictk> oh wait thats chmod sorry agh [08:48] ubottu, networking [08:49] ubottu | networking [08:49] hey all any quick resolves on helping ubuntu with opengl in-game? [08:49] !networking | pvl1 [08:50] anything like jdownloader available on ubuntu? [08:50] [1]sonictk, I should probably also add that using of any distro's liveCD or liveUSB is within reason. Now that there's even more fancy fs out there not all liveCD/liveUSB distro can support it.. such as using an old ubuntu (7.04) liveCD/liveUSB image to try and mount ext4 fs [08:50] <[1]sonictk> ok oh [08:51] <[1]sonictk> I was reading about btrfs and ext4 [08:51] <[1]sonictk> I have no idea about this but for practical use (i.e. netbook-style usage) which would be more suitable? [08:52] <[1]sonictk> since I keep hearing things like BTRFS IS THE WAY FORWARD and all that [08:52] Is there an easy way to make a USB stick into a LIVE Unbuntu booting drive? [08:53] does anyone have experience with using Moovida in Ubuntu? [08:53] Dresden|afk: use unetbootin [08:53] Dresden: The instructions should be right on the Ubuntu ISO download page. [08:53] ok thanks [08:54] [1]sonictk, I suppose ymmv. Everyone has their own opinions about which fs is good but not everyone use their fs the same way.. such as storing massive amounts of small text files or storing images of disk dumps, etc [08:55] zetheroo: Not I [08:55] <[1]sonictk> @h would be more suitable? [08:55] <[1]sonictk> [00:52] *** vissible quit (Quit: 暂离) [08:55] <[1]sonictk> [00:52] <[1]sonictk> since I keep hearing things like BTRFS IS THE WAY FORWARD and all that [08:56] fishscene: shucks [08:56] ;) [08:56] <[1]sonictk> whoops sorry [08:56] <[1]sonictk> wrong keypress [08:56] Hi. apt is set up to automatically check for updates on login. However, I after switching from xubuntu to ubuntu, I am not longer seeing the little icon in the task bar telling me an upgrade is available. How do I get this back? [08:57] <[1]sonictk> um but what's the main difference between btrfs and ext4 actually? the only thing I gathered from just browsing around was that btrfs has online defrag...which I guess is nice but for most users is it really practical [08:59] /server irc.darkartika.net [08:59] hi, anyone know how access to video devices are controlled, such as useing /dev/videoX with multiple applications (video conf and video streaming)? [08:59] <[1]sonictk> also yay finally back into ubuntu after formatting [08:59] is there a way to change scroll wheel speed? googling hasn't helped at all === per is now known as Guest80458 [09:01] hi [09:01] Greetings [09:01] I'm trying sudo chown alkisg:disk /dev/sda3 to become the owner of that partition and it works, but after a few seconds it reverts to root:disk, why, and how can I make it permanent? [09:02] anything like jdownloader available on ubuntu? === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith [09:06] hi [09:06] chd, have a look at tucan manager [09:07] chd, its in the repos [09:09] anyone know how to definitively disable mouse focus in ubuntu? [09:10] "Sound Preferences" dialog doesn't open. why it that? [09:10] Windows 7 rulez! [09:10] so this is the ubuntu IRC [09:10] questions, without answers [09:10] and people saying windows 7 rules [09:11] pathetic [09:11] epic troll feeding bro :\ [09:11] I'm sorry. I just checked the nerd-level. It's green ;-) [09:12] agnostic: #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better outlet for your OS opinions ;) [09:13] I forgot what do do with a .tar.gz [09:14] chd: tar -zxf path/to/file.tar.gz [09:14] to extract it [09:14] ya thats it [09:16] hi ! i have problem with ubuntu desktop! how can i give some system restore? [09:17] sigh, I have a makefile, just make "makefilename" right? [09:17] I get a "nothing to be done for 'filename'" [09:18] chd: try with just "make" [09:18] Has anyone gotten DHCP Server to work in Ubuntu 10.10? [09:19] !resetpane | anormallu [09:19] !resetpanel | anormallu [09:19] anormallu: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:19] thx [09:20] that will put your desktop back to defaults like when you first installed [09:20] !dhcpd | fishscene === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith === andrew_ is now known as Guest88002 [09:21] !dhcp | fishscene [09:21] fishscene, please see my private message === root is now known as Guest96971 [09:22] fishscene, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html [09:22] r00trd3d: Yes, I've been using that for the past 2 hours [09:22] lol sry [09:23] No worries. It's like, the only tutorial for Ubuntu 10.10 and it is a fail [09:23] and its for ubu server version [09:23] fishscene: where are you stuck? [09:24] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/909787 , I had that before and solved by reinstalling some en-*language* package, any ideas on a name similar to that? [09:24] I was wondering if anyone else had gotten dhcpd working because I have another poor soul scratching his head on this as well. [09:24] Gryllida: language-pack-en, language-support-en, locales. I know it's 'locales' that fixes it on Debian, not sure which of the three for Ubuntu. [09:24] bonjoyee: just a sec [09:25] any issues if I chose to move the 'home' folder off the tree to a mounted sd disk? [09:25] almoxarife: not if you do it right [09:25] !separatehome [09:25] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [09:25] rww: thnks, I'll read [09:25] bonjoyee: http://pastebin.com/pDFP2TsF [09:26] That's the /var/log/syslog output [09:27] fishscene: those errors are quite self-explanatory..have u added a subnet pool to your dhcp.conf file? [09:27] bonjoyee: I believe so, yes. Mind if I start a private chat? [09:27] dhcpd.conf* [09:27] np [09:28] hi room : ) [09:28] fishscene: please pastebin output of "ifconfig -a" and contents of dhcpd.conf [09:28] Hey aussie. [09:29] linux_direction: what's up? [09:29] rww: I just want to move 'home' to another location on the same drive [09:29] was looking for stew. [09:31] stew, and another user gave me some direction in duplicating my fresh ubu hdd install. for back up purposes. someone suggested i use the dd comand. and stew said Chat Post would be better for me coz it was a little easier. [09:31] cp_command would be better. [09:32] i had a look at the two. and wanted to ask, why he thought it would be better to use Chat Post_? [09:33] aaarrrrr my stupid IRC app. makes words out of the things im saying. [09:34] im thinking it is better to use the dd_command coz it mentioned about copying the mbr. where c.p command seems to be just a file and folder copier. [09:34] How do I use Twitter with the built in broadcast feature? [09:35] linux_direction: I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for in the long run, but I use Filezilla to clone drives. [09:35] but it seems stew is not here, and i forgot the name of the user that suggested i use dd_command. [09:36] Hmmmmm. maybe its what i could use. but just so you're/we're clear. [09:36] i am new to linux. [09:37] i install ubunutu on my computer. its nice and fresh. [09:37] i know with partition magic you can clone hard drives [09:37] i thought it be best if i could duplicarte the drive as a back up. before i start twiddling with ubuntu. [09:37] Yea, filezilla has a kind of "Windows 3.1" gui-feel to it. But it's usually pretty straight forward. [09:38] Pardon, not Windows 3.1, more like a dos-box feel to it. [09:38] and it will copy the mbr thing, and all the hidden files required for it to boot straight up? [09:38] yup [09:38] Yup. Filezilla uses the dd command [09:39] hmmm.i don't know what a dos box is yet. [09:39] oh. righ. [09:39] that sounds like to go then. [09:39] is it free? [09:39] nope [09:39] 100% :) [09:39] oh [09:39] I installed the realtime kernel for use with JACK and such, but I don't know how to use it. I don't get a boot menu, which is what I usually use to boot with the rt kernel, so I'm not sure what to do. [09:39] wait [09:40] I totally gave you the wrong name: http://clonezilla.org/ [09:40] Clonezilla* [09:40] Cool, if the 100% was to me fishscene : ) [09:40] ooo. what so you meant clonezilla? not filezilla? [09:40] Yes, Clonezilla uses the dd command to make an exact (and compressed) image of your drive/partition. It is 100% free [09:41] yea. Sorry. I become foggy-brained at 2am :( [09:41] I get my zilla's mixed up. [09:41] when you say compressed. is that an option? [09:41] hey thats Okay. [09:41] You might be able to disable the compression, but it does it automatically. [09:42] is that Okay when it compresses? i just want an exact replica. i have a spare drive which is exactly the same. [09:43] so i figure i just want it to be exacly the same as the fresh install. [09:43] Hi. I try use in shell command: $ {ls . ; ls ..} > mylist [09:43] Hi! My WLAN is acting up pretty weird. I dualboot Win7/Ubuntu. My home WLAN works with Win7, but with Ubuntu there's trouble. It has trouble connecting, and when connected gets around 15% packet loss to most of the net, and few % to the router, and may disconnect suddenly. Changing the channel from the router fixes the issue for a while (few hours), but it always comes back. The WLAN works at another network (at work). Any ideas what could be wrong? [09:43] compression will change that. [09:43] Diagnostics so far: The problem does appear with a live USB boot. iwconfig reports normal, and similar output whether the connection is working or has trouble. After help from here (psycho_oreos) I also managed to turn on the "debug" mode of the ath9k kernel module, and recorded dmesg output from the time of connection trouble. The dmesg output is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550552/ Any diagnostic help is appreciated! [09:44] but it not work [09:44] but thanks heaps for your suggestion. [09:44] i guess i can give it a go. [09:44] this construction i finded in docs [09:44] Yea, the compressed image is fine. It just means that, say, HUGE BLOCKS of nothing but 0's won't hog mega amounts of space. [09:44] can it be loaded if i boot for a live cd? [09:45] oh Okay. that sounds safe enough. [09:45] Yes, clonezilla is a livecd. You can save and restore images. [09:45] oh. it is a live cd of it own? [09:45] yes [09:45] so i would boot up using clonezilla. not my ubu live cd? [09:45] so clone your current hd and restore it to you backup one [09:46] Linux_direction: correct. [09:46] Hello. My MacBook Pro gets all corruptedy when booting from Live USB. I've tried adding nomodeset and radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel boot params, but that doesn't change anything, and it looks like KMS is still enabled. What should I mark on here to make sure that I use a basic video driver that is not going to kill my computer? [09:46] sheeze. thanks peoples :) [09:46] NP mate. [09:46] ) [09:47] hi how do I make an exact copy of my internal hard drive to my external hard drive? [09:47] for backup reasons that is [09:47] I've used clonezilla to successfully backup and restore bootcamp drives on Mac's (something that Apple says is impossible). [09:47] Wow. good going fishscene. [09:48] myrti: Good timing. Although I don't have an answer for you that uses ubuntu, I do recommend clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org/ [09:48] that is from a live cd [09:48] I was thinking of using dd [09:48] how can i create an iso of a dvd [09:48] myrti a bit low level [09:48] try dump [09:49] dd? [09:49] and can i add to myrti_ question. and not only to an external hdd. but can this also be saved to a Network share? [09:50] hi [09:50] linux_direction: yes. I know it will work with Microsoft Windows Shares (Not Windows 7, untested with Vista), but server 2003/XP or earlier it will work over the network. [09:50] Just look for "samba" as one of the places to save your image. [09:50] myrti dd copies verbatim sector for sector. You usually want a logical copy. [09:50] File by file [09:51] What program can i use to create an ISO of a dvd [09:51] oh Okay. thats excellent. thanks fishscene. im gunna have some fun tonight. well i hope anyway. [09:51] Question: Do ubuntu developers get money? [09:51] well im outta here. [09:51] agnostic: Some do. [09:52] agnostic: the ones that work do yes [09:52] first stop clonezilla : ) [09:52] thanks fishscene. thanks room. [09:52] from whom? [09:52] bye4now : ) [09:52] agnostic: their employers [09:52] * from who? [09:52] Ileden: try changing your routers encryption [09:52] i'm using partimage and resized the terminal. now i can't read what it says, how can I refresh the terminal display? [09:52] jrmcm, From Ubuntu user mag, i'd say k3b [09:53] anything wrong with just doing dd if=/dev/sda of /dev/sdc? [09:53] But it's more like charity, right? [09:53] agnostic: You'll have to define your scope, because Ubuntu uses stuff that thousands of people have worked on from all over the world. [09:53] chibihogoshino: I've tried both WPA and WPA2 so there's no choice left. [09:53] agnostic: Not really. But, this isn't a support question, try #ubuntu-offtopic. [09:53] ok thx younder [09:54] chibihogoshino: althoug, for temporary diagnostic purposes, I guess I should try WEP too, or leave the network unencrypted. [09:54] Ileden: is it a fresh install and is the routers firmware up to date ? [09:54] Ileden: wep is the same as no encryption [09:54] hi === Dev` is now known as devgru [09:54] using irssi how do I see a network's channel list [09:54] chibihogoshino: very true === devgru is now known as devgruseal [09:55] Ileden: did you try changing the wifi channel ? [09:55] chibihogoshino: yes, fresh install, fresh computer (netbook) and firmware should be up to date, haven't check for a while though [09:55] chibihogoshino: yes, and that seems to fix the problem for a few hours. always comes back [09:55] chibihogoshino: (that's the really weird part...) [09:55] i can't read my console terminal anymore, but it's in the middle of a task. how do I refresh it without halting the process? [09:55] shadaloo: in a specific network or in general? /list works, but it may disconnect you from the server as it generates a lot of traffic and may overtake your connection. In freenode /msg alis help list [09:55] Younder: is there one that doesnt rely on kubuntu? [09:56] I dont need the kde desktop [09:57] Ileden: reason 1...unspecifiedReason...Client associated but no longer authorized. [09:57] Ileden: looks like its loosing authentication for some reason [09:58] jrmcm, It doesn't rely on KUbuntu merely on Qt . Which will be downloaded as a dependency. [09:58] chibihogoshino: Hmm, weird. Any ideas how to diagnose further? [09:59] Younder: ok i was wondering because i used synaptic and there were 81 packages it needed [09:59] Ileden: im not to shur about anything else.. [09:59] chibihogoshino: and how would that result in packet loss? [09:59] how can i refresh the display of a terminal, without killing its active task? [10:00] chibihogoshino: or, well, I guess the problem is what causes the packet loss (or connectivity trouble), which then causes also dropped authentication when it gets bad. [10:01] Ileden: im not shur [10:01] jrmcm, Well I am running now on a gome desktop. [10:02] gnome [10:02] chibihogoshino: well, thaks for trying to help anyway!

[10:26] when i tried booting a 10.10 live cd on an older computer but when loading the try/install menu, the system began displaying many error messages in red. why would this be?

I want to move my root to an SSD and rebuild boot on that SSD. How can I do that? [10:45] linux_direction: but by using dd its ALWAYS a good idea to have a backup [10:46] linux_direction: if you are not using a blocksize dd will copy every single byte instead of a complete block and that is taking much more time [10:46] linux_direction: dd's default blocksize is 512, you don't have to specify it. changing the blocksize to a higher value might increase speed when using dd. [10:46] iceroot: it won't [10:47] linux_direction: llutz hm ok, i thought 512 is not default [10:47] oh Okay. i get that.

[10:49] ? [10:49] is there any body solve issue for video chat in skype? [10:50] hi all [10:50] hi Cody-[GMT3] : ) [10:50] linux_direction: the problem is that with the wrong syntax you can kill all you data using dd, so its a good idea to have a backup from /home (and its a good idea to always make backups not only before using the dd command) [10:51] bluegoon: no grub comming up? [10:51] hello people [10:51] bluegoon: or better, you dont see grub? [10:51] abhijain, what isn't working for skype exactly ?

[11:03] Diverdude I have the same problem [11:03] haiyai, its very strange...it used to work just fine [11:03] haiyai, and suddently its just read only [11:04] Diverdude what are your permissions for the media folder [11:05] Diverdude do a ls -al | grep media in terminal [11:05] Sir_Fawnpug thanks [11:05] haiyai: ls -ld /media drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 5.

I'm having problems setting up a second monitor to Ubuntu 10.10, using nVidia Quadro FX 580 with latest nVidia drivers. Primary monitor via DVI works perfectly, but the second monitor - connected via DisplayPort - is only giving out 640x480 resolution. Native resolution would be 1920x1200. Any ideas? [11:08] is it possible to define both public ip and local ip in a zone file? [11:09] What is the command to change to llutz permissions [11:10] llutz. iceroot. i typed in fdisk -l. but any figures that seemed to be relating to blocks are very large figures. the only thing that resembles the block sizes is in the following line. [11:10] haiyai: illutz? chmod changes permissions for files [11:11] units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes. [11:11] pls can anyone tell me the network security tools on linux?? [11:11] chmod 755? [11:11] does this line mean my block size is 512? [11:12] BODMAS, iptables? [11:12] ничего не понятно [11:12] i need a monitoring tool to monitor my network, but i dont knw any i can use on linu [11:12] uuu__, #ubuntu-ru [11:12] ок [11:12] :) [11:12] !info ntop | BODMAS [11:12] BODMAS: ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in web browser.

[11:13] chown: changing ownership of `/media': Operation not permitted [11:13] iptables is firewall, i tought you want that :) [11:14] haiyai, did you manage to solve it+ [11:14] ok kirkous [11:14] not yet need to change permissions first [11:14] how do i check out the iptables [11:15] ? [11:15] How do I set sound to default configurations?? [11:15] chown: changing ownership of `/media': Operation not permitted? [11:15] man iptables .) [11:15] why [11:15] BODMAS: if you don't have it installed you won't have any tables set up by default [11:16] haiyai: what are your permissions in the first place? if you can't mount usb the problem probably isn't on the access rights of /media [11:16] try google iptables tutorial, it's quite tricky [11:16] hi i have a question here [11:16] how do i define in a zone file both public ip and local ip? is this possible?

[11:17] when i tried to use my ubuntu, i get the gnu grub screen instead [11:17] media file should be root right? [11:17] sudo chmod ?

[11:17] linux_direction: try sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc [11:17] is that for me younder? [11:18] linux_direction, yes [11:18] Okay thanks younder. thanks rjharv. [11:18] nps [11:18] plokij: it wont boot cuz it shows the gnu grub screen instead and i have no idea what to do next [11:18] Myrtti drwx------ 4 morgan morgan 16384 1970-01-01 09:00 media [11:19] DBoyz: any boot options? [11:19] plokij: kindly explain? i am new to ubuntu and i rarely use it (currently using W7) [11:19] My home directory is encrypted so things get nasty when he system fails. Anyone know a way to handle this? [11:20] can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device in my ubuntu1 0.10 [11:20] can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device in my ubuntu 10.10 [11:20] DBoyz: on the grub screen does it show this 'GRUB:/>' or similar or does it show a box and some functions? [11:20] haiyai: you can try to change it with "sudo chmod 755 /media" [11:21] can some one hielp me installing tata photon plus usb modem device(olive V-ME101) in my ubuntu 10.10 [11:21] Myrtti, That is a pretty bad idea security wise [11:21] avanga, patience please [11:21] try [11:22] now [11:22] !repeat | avanga [11:22] avanga: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:22] younder: that is how it is on my system, without anything mounted [11:22] younder: permissions on systems to be mounted are given on mounttime AFAIK [11:23] younder: if they don't have permissions themselves [11:23] Myrtti no change [11:23] lol i'm back eveyrone [11:23] Myrtti, My system requires a passwd to access media. And also to boot (bios not dos) [11:24] plokij: i am getting message which is something like: "GNU GRUB Version 1.97beta. There is additional text about how TAB reveals commands and such..." [11:24] now what? [11:24] younder: do you know the pass? [11:24] i don't think there are any options [11:24] Myrtti, but the it is setup to comply with G3 security [11:24] DBoyz: then i'd say your grub installed is nuked, [11:24] !fixgrub | DBoyz [11:24] DBoyz: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

[11:24] Hi guys [11:25] My workstation boots straight into Ubuntu 10.10 with no Grub loader menu. [11:25] younder: If this is a pass to boot-up and you want to take it off, go into bio's and you can take it off [11:25] younder or rjharv. so with the following command... sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc. the /dev/hda part is the reference for the location of the source right. and not the target? [11:25] This is after I installed it via USB to a new hard drive. [11:25] bluegoon: hold shift [11:25] younder: great, so does my system. still, user permissions for /media shouldn't be what they are on haiyais system. [11:25] plokij, the whole time? [11:25] bluegoon: during boot [11:25] plokij: what does that mean? [11:25] plokij, ok gonna try, thanks. [11:25] DBoyz: it means either your install messed up or grub didn't/can't detect your ubuntu install [11:26] damn [11:26] Hmm lol [11:26] Myrrti: right on my system they are drwxr-xr-x [11:26] or 755 [11:27] no change [11:27] sorry for the confusion [11:27] any ideas [11:27] avanga: What did you try to install it? [11:27] please [11:27] plokij: i don't have a live cd nor a cd/dvd drive on my pc [11:27] DBoyz: usb#? [11:27] yes usb [11:28] but what should i do? [11:28] DBoyz: then create a live usb stick [11:28] DBoyz: got another pc? [11:28] plokij, I saw the Grub loader, but Windows 7 (Other drive) was not listed. When I exlusively boot to it, it sais NTLDR missing? [11:28] avanga: Right click on Network manager and select 'edit connection" [11:29] plokij: no i am using the same pc ubuntu is installed to but i'm currently using windows 7 [11:29] bluegoon_: iirc you need to chainload it, but don't quote me on that [11:29] sresu_: done [11:29] DBoyz: didi you use wubi? [11:29] avanga: Go to mobile broadband [11:29] plokij: yes [11:29] sresu_: done [11:29] mobile sucks and wireless sucks go cable [11:30] DBoyz: then you boot into mbr then grub, i would just reinstall ubuntu from wubi [11:30] !tab | avanga [11:30] Now you will have to setup a mobile broadband for TATA phton + to work [11:30] no iterference no moise no hackers [11:30] avanga: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:30] mbr? [11:30] avanga: is it Huawei EC1261? [11:30] DBoyz: window's boot loader [11:30] okay [11:31] DBoyz: btw wubi is known for a lot of bugs that aren't prevalent in the regular install [11:31] Myrtii any thoughts? [11:31] sresu_: no its olive V-ME101 [11:31] Myrtti any thoughts ? [11:32] My grub doesnt have a menu.lst [11:32] avanga: Network manager must have detected your device. What does it say? [11:32] plokij: i used pendrive linux to extract files from the iso file i downloaded to install ubuntu. i couldn't install with wubi [11:32] bluegoon_: grub2 doesn't have one [11:32] plokij, oh, ok [11:32] avanga: ... when the window to seup New Mobile Broadband cannection window appears [11:32] sresu_: my devicde is not dtected in the network manager [11:32] hi [11:32] thats the problem [11:33] please suggest/guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-January/238026.html ? [11:33] DBoyz: but seriously i'd reccommend reinstalling ubuntu using whatever medium you have if you really want ubuntu [11:33] will executing the dd_command to duplicate a hdd, lock up my system? [11:33] avanga: Well, with the new NM, you need not use wvdial [11:33] haiyai: not really, no :-( [11:34] ok then, so i'll uninstall my ubuntu and download ubuntu 10.10's iso file to be installed [11:34] sresu_: in mycomputer it detects my device as generic multicard [11:34] avanga: Generic multicard? [11:34] sresu_: yea [11:34] avanga: You have usbserial or usb-storage? [11:34] linux_direction: it shouldn't do but the more things you do the longer it will take. Also depend on yuor system, it may act really slow [11:35] Myrtti thanks anyway [11:36] avanga: Ubuntu version? [11:36] sresu_, 10.10 [11:36] Most modern processors have at least 2 cores [11:36] avanga: [11:36] rjharv: well i boot from a live cd. executed the command. everything is seems to be frozen. but i can hear the hdd's ticking away. [11:37] Mening you are unlikely to run out of processor capasity for most tasks. [11:37] And if you do you probaly know why.

[11:38] 3D rendering really benefits from a tesla2 say [11:38] sresu_, The usb-serial driver does not support your Linux version-- error message [11:39] avanga: I said usb-modeswitch - that gave you this error? [11:39] but then if you are doing it you would pabably know that. [11:39] sresu_, yes, tried to install this error came up [11:40] The USB interface for ubuntu is pretty iron clad. [11:40] rjharv. is there a keyboard sequence i can enter to safely stop the dd_command. and type in fdisk -l. that way i can see if theres been any change on the destination drive?

[11:45] linux_direction, depends on your pc. But normally it will just initiate shutdown. [11:46] well this PC won't initiate a shut down. it will just reboot/reset the PC. [11:46] but in doing this. the info on the source hdd will be intact right? [11:47] linux_direction, OK so you ay loose data on the disk cache. sync it first [11:47] sresu_, installing it now [11:47] what can be done if some files in /var/lib/dpkg/info got damaged, removed or garbled? my dpkg does not configure packages like util-linux netbase cron udev and dbus. this prevents me from upgrading or working with any apt like tool. it will leave those packages unconfigured complaining about dependency problems.

[11:57] O Can't change mouse cursor after trying macBuntu :( [11:57] linux_direction: a swap partition is helpful as it helps to maintain your ram sorta i guess you could say [11:57] sresu, but the user manual does show that mine is olive v-ME101 [11:57] avanga: Add '140b' w/o quotes to this line - TargetProductList="1001,1406,140c,141b,14ac" [11:57] As you asked how much ram a dd_command uses I assume you are worried about a ram requiremet? [11:58] never mind bazhang, not the place for this discussion. [11:58] this is not proper channel for this questions [11:58] ?? [11:58] linux_direction, indeed.

Its there [11:59] avanga: One moment [11:59] sresu, ok [11:59] and thanks first2none. i ask about the ram requirement. coz im running on 128ram [12:00] so i figured. ive just added an extra load on the system with the dd_command. [12:00] avanga: Was your device working earlier? [12:00] Ouch thats low hehe [12:00] Ok this is what happens [12:01] doble contra sencillo que me retan por esto, pero para ayudarme no [12:01] sresu, it worked in windows, but not in ubuntu 10.10 === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:01] which would explain why i might have only temporarily lost control/function of mouse and keyboard. [12:01] avanga: Go to "cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/" and run "ls | grep 12d1" [12:01] linux_direction: If you dont have a swap partition once you reach the max of your ram it will crash, a swap parition switches out program in a way where it is sorta like virtual ram so it makes it if you reach your peak ram then it will use the swap partition instead of crashing [12:02] That is exactly why you have lost control [12:02] oh Okay. i see where youre coming from. [12:02] avanga: Do you see anything ending with :1446? [12:02] Well by the way you are explaining your computers behavior i would say you dont as from what i relized is by default it doesnt install a swap partition as i had to do it manualy [12:02] linux_direction: what command are you trying to run? [12:02] so should i have booted the cd. manually created a swapfil or use the existing swap. and then execute the dd_command? [12:03] There is no existing swap or your computer wouldnt freeze up [12:03] sresu, yes [12:03] dd_command quiescens. [12:03] avanga: Reboot system [12:03] I'm not on linux atm but idk if you can create a swap partition after you have already installed [12:04] sresu, ok hang on [12:04] what do you mean first2none. it is a fresh install i am trying to back up. [12:04] the install has a 1.5gbyts swap file. [12:04] hmm [12:04] what are you wanting to backup [12:04] linux_direction: i don't know what dd_command is [12:05] quiescens: it's dd. his client autoreplaces acronyms or something [12:05] im new with ubunutu first2none. i have just done a fresh clean install of ubu10.

[12:06] avanga:sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446 [12:06] and tell me the partition types [12:07] first2none. you mean me? [12:07] yes [12:07] i have not hit the reset yet.

[12:08] sorry rww. [12:08] Okay first2none. i will go hit the reset. Be Right Back [12:08] linux_direction: to my knowledge DD shouldn't use more than around 3-4mb depending on block size [12:08] sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550598/ [12:08] er [12:08] dd [12:09] avanga: Strange. Pastebin lsusb [12:09] question is PyQt available for python3.1? [12:09] quiescens. i didn't enter a block size. someone mentioned it might default to 512. [12:09] and 3 or 4 meg, shouldn't lock up the system. [12:09] linux_direction: either way, dd should only use about 3-4mb for the duration [12:09] sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550599/ === shai_ is now known as shai [12:10] Linux doesn't lock up or crash when it runs out of memory, it just kills off memory-hungry programs. [12:10] quiescens. yes. so i think its time to hit reset. : ) thanks guys [12:10] linux_direction: if dd is causing the system to become unresponsive then it is more likely just saturating the disk and making it hard for anything else to read from the disk [12:10] and does any1 know where i can find a zipped version of netbook remix [12:10] avanga: Remove and connect the device again. Pastebin lspci and lsusb please [12:11] linux_direction: or the cpu, or the usb system if you're copying to/from usb [12:11] hi [12:11] linux_direction: This is true but either way not matter what your going to do it will be really helpful to have a swap partition as it will increase performance overall [12:11] Hi :) I've setup an ntp server, and had all the other servers point to it... but I don't see anywhere in the logs on the ntp server, that clients are attempting to connect to it. What do I need to setup in ntp.conf to see these connections from the ntp clients? [12:12] thanks rww. [12:12] Hi everybody, didn't want to flood the room. Can anyone help with this ssh problem? : http://pastebin.com/u4uk3ShX [12:12] quiescens. thanks that all makes sense. [12:13] sresu, removed and plugged in the device again but it doesnt show up in my computer [12:13] sresu, however this is the lspci after doing that http://paste.ubuntu.com/550600/ [12:13] and first2none. i do understand the benefits of what you are say. thanks again : ) [12:14] hi does any1 here use touchscreen on ubuntu netbook edition [12:14] and does any1 know where i can find a zipped version of netbook remix [12:14] Hi, my gnome panels are behaving irratically, I have my lower gnome panel set to autohide, but sometimes (randomly, I am not sure what causes it), it just comes up and stays there, although the system behaves like the panel is in hiding, so mouse clicks even on the panel are actually going behind to the browser! it is really confusing, can anyone throw some light on this ? [12:14] right. please giv me a min. every time i head over to reset the PC. i come running back. man i feel like a penguin. [12:14] sresu, this is lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/550601/ [12:15] does ubuntu have pre-installed touchscreen drivers? [12:15] Okay reset pushed. === walt is now known as Guest71466 [12:15] oops. i missed the boot up cd. [12:16] and now is booting the fresh install. [12:16] so i guess thats a good sign. : ) [12:16] lol [12:16] avanga: Does it show as generic interface as before? [12:16] is there a way from the terminal to see what DNS entries my connection is using? [12:16] anyone on gnome panel ? [12:17] i have a tablet computer, it doesn't have a mouse, does any1 know whether i can use my touchscreen with ubu [12:17] dhruvasagar, how often does it happen ? [12:17] linux_direction: What i dont understand lol is why you want to make a backup of a fresh install if you have the cd [12:17] well i will let it boot up. shut it down. and then reboot with live cd. and first have a look to see if anything was written to the destination drive. [12:17] Cradam: try a livecd/usb [12:17] hi is there a way to block right click over the desktop and panels? [12:17] botcity: well the only way I know how to fix it is to restart the system...i've experienced this at least 5 times since yesterday [12:18] sresu, no it it is not showing [12:18] Did you know that linux runs in like 2-3 partitions? [12:18] first2none. it just seemed easier to me, to just recopy from a back up, than to sit through set up. [12:18] bonjoyee is there a zipped version of the iso [12:18] botcity: and my system is on almost 24 hours [12:18] im going into network settings, clicking DNS tab, adding an entry, it appears to save it, i close it, go back into it, and its reverted, any ideas why? [12:18] Cradam: why? [12:18] linux_direction: In my opinion it would be harder to set back up with backups instead of a fresh install from cd [12:18] bonjoyee i am on a public comp which only allows u to dload certain file formats [12:19] botcity: what i've noticed now is that I can click on the panel if I go to extreme bottom of the screen over the panel.... [12:19] avanga: which laptop you are on? [12:19] well it is seeming that way now. first2none. [12:19] coz. [12:19] the fresh install is now stuffed. [12:19] sresu, dell inspiron 1545 [12:20] As you have your 1st partition which is "/" directory which is your bootup stuff and so on. Then you have 2nd parition which is your "/home" partition holds the programs personal files media so on. And last if you have one "I recommend one" is the 3rd partition which is a swap partition which is sorta like virtual ram/ [12:20] dhruvasagar, ok can you access the property's from there [12:20] botcity: yes [12:20] avanga: have you tried seeing the output of lsusb before? [12:20] how do I use a usb mic with ubuntu? [12:20] botcity: I can deselect autohide [12:21] first2none. my partitions are as follows. [12:21] Cradam: dont think theres a zip file..but there could be workarounds [12:21] dhruvasagar, ok do that [12:21] and dont laugh... ; p [12:21] sresu, yes i've given the pastebin before [12:21] lol lets see them lol [12:21] botcity: I did...but I like it as autohiden...it gives me more screen area to use [12:21] dhruvasagar, then re-enable [12:21] how can I tell the terminal to give a notification when there is activity? I have an ongoing copy process and I'd like some sound bite or flashing once the process is finished [12:21] I tried udev and recompiled but that's major segfaulting [12:21] botcity: I did but it doesn't fix it [12:21] bonjoyee: i know iso's and exe's dont work [12:22] avanga: I mean on day you first plugged in? etc .. [12:22] hi there channel :) [12:22] sresu, no. [12:22] botcity: what I did now is click on show hide bottons, that is working ok though [12:22] dhruvasagar, ok sometimes its a fix! [12:22] dhruvasagar, did that fix the problem [12:22] sresu, this is the pastebin when it was detected http://paste.ubuntu.com/550593/ [12:23] botcity: oh, well I clicked on show hide buttons, showed / hide the panel a few times, then reverted to autohide, it seems to have been fixed now [12:23] is there a gui lsof package? [12:23] avanga: what error you found in wvdial? [12:23] if im using roaming wireless, can i specify, or see what DHCP server its using? [12:23] botcity: it did fix it, but do you know what causes it ? [12:23] Cradam: u could download the iso to file a sharing service that allows downloading directly from internet..then rename that as zip...try this with a small iso for start..not sure it'll work [12:23] lsof [12:24] sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550603/ [12:24] dhruvasagar, well all i can say is its a bug that affects my laptop . must be a bug ! that works for me too [12:24] i wish torrents worked on this comp then it would be easy [12:24] botcity: hmm ok well the fix is better than restart though :) [12:24] dhruvasagar, well all i can say is its a bug that affects my laptop . must be a bug ! that works for me to [12:25] dhruvasagar, yeah i know good luck! [12:25] wich better player video for ubuntu ? [12:25] hi, can i block right button on desktop and panels? [12:25] brandon-heat: vlc :D [12:26] thanks [12:26] R00teR: ive seen some gnome securioty settings to 'lock down' gnome to some degree.. but ive never ntocied an easy way to just disable the whole right mouse button [12:26] brandon-heat: sudo aptitude install vlc [12:26] need some help. have additional to my kubuntu-desktop >> ubuntu-desktop isntalled, and choosed gdm as default Displaymanager [12:26] linux you still there? [12:26] thank you nits_hunter [12:26] i start the system, and now all looks like gnome... no dialoge to choose kde or gnome [12:26] 1st is primary /boot 2gb ext3. 2nd primary /(root) ext3. 3RD primary /spare(my label/mount point) fat32. ext part is made up of: 1st logic swapfile 1.5gb. 2nd logic /home 10g. 3rd logic /netshr1 70g. 4th logic /netshr2 65g. [12:27] avanga: THe problem is that its not showing it right in your system [12:27] brandon-heat: no probs :) [12:27] ^^ [12:27] sresu, any solution..? [12:27] whats the easiest way to install ubu when u only have 30GB's of space [12:27] rethus: u have to select it on the login screen..select session [12:27] ok thanks Dr_Willis [12:27] you can technically get progress reports from dd, its just.. unintuitive [12:27] oops root is 5 or 10g [12:27] avanga: Its not detecting it else it would have said it something like Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. [12:27] Cradam: that's plenty of space, install as usual [12:27] lusb * [12:28] jrib: dualboot? [12:28] the /home /netshr1 and 2 are ext3. [12:28] jrib i was thinking of using wubi [12:28] Cradam: why? [12:28] Holly shit lol [12:28] sresu, i'm really intrested in using ubuntu but with out my device getting detected it would be really booring. [12:28] Cradam: 30 gigs, whole lotta space, i run ubuntu on hardly 20 gigs, and i have a bunch of movies stored on the same partition :P all ub reqs is like 5 gigs if u install a whole lotta apps [12:28] i knew you'd laugh. : ) [12:28] sresu, currently i'm using friends net [12:28] jrib its easy [12:28] ugh, wubi [12:28] need a gui diagnostic tool lsof... is it possible? [12:29] Cradam: normal install is pretty easy too [12:29] sresu, so i want somehow to work this out [12:29] avanga: Its not the problem of Ubuntu. Different versions of that device are causing this problem afaik [12:30] yes but as i am not very familiar with ubuntu, it allows me to have a back out clause if anything goes wrong by just uninstalling jrib [12:30] avanga: I was expecting it to detect it since 140b was present [12:30] how can i test if dhcp is working from an ubuntu client? i know the ip of the dhcp server but not sure if its got its ip before or after the change [12:30] Cradam: k [12:30] how to install compiz in the ubuntu 10.04 and which library I have to install ? [12:30] sresu, ok thanks for spending your time.. [12:30] linux_direction: ultimately, unless you have a particularly good reason to do otherwise, it would be easiest to use existing disk imaging software, rather than try to do it all manually with dd [12:31] sorry if i was irritating [12:31] now i've start gdm, i got a hdd-warning at first popup [12:31] avanga: I''m sorry. I cannot help an further [12:31] sresu, ^^ [12:31] only in german language, but i add a video to show it [12:31] show end-to-end-error [12:31] hahi [12:31] avanga: what did you actually try with wvdial? [12:31] which is better for a tablet pc netbook or standard [12:32] brandon-heat: its in stalled by default on a ormal ubuntu setup. [12:32] avanga: And what does the manual of the device say about linux installation? [12:32] ubottu: tell brandon-heat about ccsm [12:32] brandon-heat, please see my private message [12:32] plz help to install java on ubuntu 10.10 [12:32] ok [12:32] nuno_nunes, enable partner repo [12:32] !java > nuno_nunes [12:32] nuno_nunes, please see my private message [12:32] !partner > nuno_nunes [12:32] (my resolution is 1024*768) [12:33] nuno_nunes: icedtea java is in the normal repos. Sun java is in teh Partner repos. [12:33] sresu, it says some steps which are to be followed after the device gets detected [12:33] Cradam: depends on what you like. I cant stand the netbook interface. [12:33] avanga: Like? [12:34] avanga: I wonder if its not switching to modem mode === treffnixx is now known as treffnixx_ [12:34] sresu, it is asking to install wvdial first [12:34] avanga: Then? [12:35] here it is - my hdd error-screenshot. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5964/bildschirmfotomr.png [12:35] this cause of i using gdm now? [12:35] hello, how can i accept msn file transfers with pidgin... i dont see anything when they try tos end [12:35] before in kdm doesn't got such an error [12:35] i agree with that 100% quiescens. in 2 hrs i will have downloaded clonezilla. [12:35] sresu, sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0*201e product=0*2009 [12:35] modprobe [12:36] avanga: Don't try that. After that? [12:37] sraue, sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf [12:37] sresu, , sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf [12:37] i think ill try netbook, if i don't like it then ill go for std [12:38] avanga: What you had to change in that? [12:38] rethus: maybe you should try #ubuntu-de since that screenshot is in german. i doubt many people here can read german. [12:39] avanga: Ive an alternative to it if you could say the other steps [12:40] sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550615/ [12:40] sresu, that would be great if you are able to help [12:40] avanga: What's instructed in the manual to do with that file? [12:41] avanga: Actually username is not internet it should be your photon+ no. [12:41] sresu, to edit it with these commands [12:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/550615/ [12:41] Next [12:42] sresu, sudo wvdial [12:42] avanga: How many more steps are ther? [12:42] oh well. back to the beginning for me. [12:42] thanks for your help room. [12:42] sresu, thats it..the manual says this coomand shoud connect the device [12:42] bye4now : ) [12:43] hi [12:43] i just looked at unitys interface and the buttons are a 50 pixels square which is good [12:43] when formating, which should one use? ext4 , 3 , 2 reiserfs, btrfs, jfs, xfs, fat, fat32? what's the difference? [12:43] ubuntu 10.4 not sound mic [12:44] and the dialog box buttons are a good 30 pixels tall [12:44] ! filesystems | OchoZero9 [12:44] OchoZero9: ext3 is the default fileystem in Ubuntu (and many other Linuxes). Alternative Linux filesystems include reiserfs and xfs. fat32 and ntfs are DOS/Windows filesystems. hfs and hfs+ are filesystems for the Mac. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [12:45] nihao [12:45] thank you, and thanks for the link [12:45] any performance difference? [12:45] test [12:45] phoenixfire, please be a little more specific [12:45] OchoZero9, depends ? [12:46] bye [12:46] question is PyQt available for python3.1? [12:46] test [12:47] what would it depend on? [12:48] how can i check my whole disc for errors on cmd? [12:48] avanga: [12:48] my old ubuntu used the old-fashioned beeper in my computer for alerts, but after upgrading now it beeps through the speakers; can I change that again? [12:48] avanga: ^^ === sresu_ is now known as sresu [12:49] sresu, done installing [12:49] avanga:gnome-ppp [12:49] run [12:50] avanga: Setup it with type USB modem, device - Detect. Username as your photon+ no. and pass as internet [12:51] sresu, hang on i will try it after rebooting [12:51] Hi there. Is there a way to get historical packages for ubuntu? I'm looking for yelp version 2.24 (looking to check whether a crasher bug has been fixed and I can't reproduce it with the newest versions) and I think I probably need the version from Jaunty Jackalope. [12:51] obhk: you could perhaps modprobe the pcskpr module (i think) its blacklisted by default - the whole 'pc beeps' internal speaker is considered annoying these days [12:52] rswarbrick: packages.ubuntu.com or launchpad librarian [12:52] rswarbrick: there are proberly ftp servers that still have the packages. but after so long, the files get moved to a 'end of life' server [12:52] !eol [12:52] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:52] Dr_Willis: Any idea where I should look? I really just want the package source... [12:53] (packages.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to have it) [12:54] rswarbrick, i would use the live cd and compare then [12:54] rswarbrick: so try launchpad or use the old-releases repository the bot links to in the upgrade procedure for EOL releases [12:54] Ah cool. Thanks guys! [12:54] sresu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550625/ [12:55] sresu, this is the output [12:55] rswarbrick: Other then look throguh the ftp servers. No. [12:55] avanga: wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf [12:59] avanga: You really need to contact the service provider for this. Call them to check whether model supports Linux OS as I'm aware only few are compatible. Since your o/p mentioned Huawei, I was hoping it to work for you. Sorry, only this far I can help you. I'd have asked to check what modemmanager would say but with the output of GNOME-PPP, its hardware issue. [13:00] h [13:01] sresu, okay you were really helpful so far.. see you soon hope from my tata photon+ [13:01] Hopefully [13:01] avanga: Get it replaced with what's compatible with Ubuntu [13:02] or *nix [13:02] sresu, ty [13:04] Hi, i can't Decrypt my home folder, cause i removed 2 files... i don't know what should i do? ..... [13:04] what two files you removed? [13:04] Folks, I need help, I have small htpc which I carry with me. I want it to be on resolution 1024x768 at refresh rate of 60Hz. When I plug in different monitors it takes highest resolution monitor supports. How to solve this. I would like to force 1024x768 at 60Hz no matter what. Thx! [13:05] I have this line in xorg.conf Modes "1024x768@60" but it doesn't seem to be obeyed :/ [13:05] Bingo, did you not write down your key once you encripted it [13:06] Full xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/550627/ [13:06] botcity: no :( i just know the login password... [13:06] anyone? [13:06] Bingo: well. what two files did you delete? [13:06] gobbe: one of them was .Private [13:06] Bingo: and without encryption key it's quite hard to open it [13:06] gobbe: okay what is the way? [13:06] to open... [13:07] Bingo: well, bruteforce, might take like 200 years [13:07] gobbe: ya that's great... :(( [13:09] Bingo, erm thats a hard problem for me sorry hope you backed up some stuff externally!! [13:09] gobbe: i've created .Private file with ecryptfs-create-private but.... [13:10] botcity: gobbe: guys, if i format the partition, can i recover my Home Folder files after that? [13:10] no [13:10] not unless your the fbi/cia [13:11] My question's quite long so I wonder if anyone can have a look here and maybe post what they think: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10319080#post10319080 [13:11] r00t4rd3d: me? [13:11] yeah [13:11] r00t4rd3d: okay, then i have to forget my files... [13:12] if you formatted yeah [13:12] robotjox: no i didn't. just i can't decrypt my home folder [13:12] i havent been watching your issue so i really shouldnt be responding [13:13] but normally if you format a hard drive , your files are gone [13:13] hi all, this might be a stupid question, but can a ubuntu 10.04 laptop be infested by some kind of virus? [13:14] !virus [13:14] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [13:14] zs1otb_: It isnt likely. Is there some reason you think this might be the case? [13:14] Bingo: if you lose encryption key, you lose your data [13:14] Well my machine suddenly is VERY sluggish and for no apparent reason the system runs at 100% [13:14] :( [13:15] Bingo, did you mean format everything but you home partition.. that's not really the problem? [13:15] hi, is there any way to force the files written in some folder to have automatically rw attributes for the primary gruop of the creator of the file? [13:15] zs1otb_: Have you checked running processes to see if any are using too many resources? [13:16] botcity: i meant delete the whole ubuntu partition [13:16] cd / [13:16] err [13:16] yes and this is the problem there is basically nothing running exept te gnome-system-monitor and it runs at 98% [13:17] also it appears suddenly if thunderbird and firefox are eating up the resources when they run [13:18] Bingo, if you kept the key from install you can sort it... [13:18] I now only have XChat running and the usage is less than 11% [13:18] botcity: no i removed it, from /home/USER/.Private [13:20] maybe this aint the right place to ask ....but I'll go ahead ......I know its early .....maybe too early but anyone with ubuntu's gsoc 2011 dirctives ......I mean any one who knows ubuntu's gsoc 2011 goals,directives ow somin like that [13:20] problem with libvirt network config: I try to change dhcp range, but still dnsmasq is started with original range [13:20] zs1otb_: Maybe try a program like top (or htop) [13:20] what is htop?

I wanted it to install on 1 of those partitions, so I selected Largest free partition (or something similar, dont remember exactly what it was called). I checked the size of the partition to make sure it was the partition I wanted it to install on, and then I proceeded to install ubuntu. But somehow it has overwritten all partitions. Is there any way at all for me to [14:27] recover those partitions? [14:28] emveedee no === suigeneris is now known as Kartagis [14:28] Soyo: yeah [14:28] emveedee: formating can be rather permanent, are you sure it wrote over the other partitions?

[14:28] Cradam: it's main usecase is to be a "technology demo", a bit like there are demos for games to try if it works with your hardware combination.

I"m not used to 2.2 [15:22] Ringolas: Are there any options (just no icons) or is it completely blank?

[16:49] qubozik: I'm not sure as it's a laptop vaio vgn cr 123e, I will try to google for it's wireless chip [16:50] PerSeL: OK. How did you install it? Did it work out of the box after installing Ubuntu or does it use the "restricted drivers"? [16:50] qubozik: I didn't install any drivers just installed ubuntu [16:50] OK [16:50] rs0832, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550729/ [16:51] Good morning. [16:51] lynxsys: i spect tftp servers in unix to use the system facilities for login ( syslog) so their messages will en up in /var/log/syslog /var/log/daemon.log or some specific log file there. all those log files can be whatched with « tail -f /var/log/whatever » [16:51] qubozik: Original - Intel® Wireless WiFI Link 4965AGN it what sony site says in drivers list for windows [16:51] erUSUL: thanks [16:52] PerSeL: Try to open up System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers and see if any additional drivers are listed for your wireless card. [16:52] I've gotten to /var/log now what? [16:52] PerSeL: Ah. ok Yeah you shouldn't need restricted drivers for that [16:52] qubozik: there is no drivers for my laptop in the list [16:52] royale1223, ok lets try removing the ppa's ... can you pastebin the file /etc/apt/sources.list.save [16:53] PerSeL: Do you have Windows installed as well? Or any way to test the laptop with another OS to verify it isn't hardware related? [16:53] i whant to talkto the main person here! [16:53] ? [16:53] qubozik: I used windows for 3 years I just installed ubuntu like 10 days ago [16:53] No_Sh-it_Friend: talk to ubottu [16:53] No_Sh-it_Friend: please change your nickname to something more appropriate === No_Sh-it_Friend is now known as ZaZaa [16:54] yes.. hello... [16:54] rs0832, http://paste.ubuntu.com/550730/ [16:54] ok... [16:54] i get it... [16:54] ZaZaa: did you have an Ubuntu Linux related question you need help with? [16:54] not welcome! [16:55] how do I sign up for a new account in the ubuntu forums? there is no link! [16:55] yes.. not right now dough... [16:55] royale1223, ok, comment out the first line [16:55] thanks [16:55] ubunta! [16:56] ok.. friend.. i understand... [16:56] PerSeL: OK. I am assuming you didn't have these issues in Windows then. I am trying to find anything on the net about issues with the laptop and wireless with Ubuntu [16:56] rs0832, done [16:56] matt__: http://ubuntuforums.org/register.php [16:56] royale1223, now uncomment the last two lines and save [16:56] qubozik: no It happens only in ubuntu [16:56] thanks tannerando [16:56] done [16:57] royale1223, try now [16:57] so i'm setting up FAI in ubuntu [16:57] and as part of that i'm installing nfs-common in a chroot [16:57] PerSeL: Did you try to reboot your modem and router just as a first troubleshooting step? [16:57] however, /etc/init/statd.conf doesn't even seem to be unpacked [16:57] royale1223, does this happen to all packages or only this one? [16:57] what the heck [16:57] rs0832, done [16:57] rs0832, only this one [16:58] royale1223, any errors this time? [16:58] Winkie: maybe it now uses upstart? /etc/init/* ? [16:58] qubozik: I'm telling you I have tried everything that I could do, simple things like rebooting router, laptop but it already happenes for 10 days in a very random time [16:58] i have a problime in vertual box can anyone help plesase [16:58] erUSUL: it does use upstart, but it doesn't seem to unpack the upstart script [16:58] which would be /etc/init/statd.conf [16:58] rs0832, did u see this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1659522 [16:58] qubozik: I got disc twice before our talk, yesterday i got about 3 - 4... [16:58] othman: spelling it right would be a start [16:59] PerSeL: Have you updated Ubuntu using the update manager to be sure you have the latest packages i.e. kernel [16:59] royale1223, yes [16:59] :$ [16:59] rs0832, i get the same error [16:59] how can i turn on /dev/dsp ? [16:59] royale1223, can you install aptitude? [16:59] qubozik: yeah I made all simple things, I have ubuntu installed on an old computer, I know all the simple things that I have to do with it [16:59] othman, whats the problem? [17:00] rs0832, i think the problem is with libqt files [17:00] PerSeL: is the laptop close to hand and on ? [17:00] i cant start vertualbox anymore it says "home/vbox/vbox-4.0.0/src/VBox/Main/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[518] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())." [17:00] botcity: what do you mean? [17:00] royale1223, apparently, some files are missing [17:01] rs0832, install aptitude? [17:01] rs0832, lemme c [17:01] e01: launch the programs that expect a /dev/dsp like this « padsp programname » [17:01] are you using it now or are you using another machine [17:01] rs0832, installing aptitude [17:02] royale1223, k [17:02] I can't update my Ubuntu... this is what appears: Failed to fetch http://co.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libt/libtextcat/libtextcat-data-utf8_2.2-4_all.deb 404 Not Found. What can I do? [17:02] PerSeL: are you using it now or are you using another machine [17:02] HaPK_PerCar: wait? maybe is temporary issue with mirror sync [17:02] botcity: I'm using it now, and I hope I won't disc [17:03] erUSUL, so I only have to wait? hmmm [17:03] PerSeL: I'm not sure how to help you then. Sounds like it could be a general kernel bug. I suggest you search the internet for issues with that wireless chipset and Ubuntu 10.10. If you cannot find anything I suggest you run windows to verify it is not hardware related as hardware can go quirky at any time even though you just used it 10 days ago. After that you can try to file a bug on launchpad [17:03] PerSeL: Sorry I couldn't help you further [17:03] erUSUL, thing is, I haven't updated in a while, this could be an issue... [17:04] qubozik: how do I lunch a bug? [17:04] erUSUL, thanks, it work [17:04] !bugs [17:04] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [17:04] PerSeL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [17:05] PerSeL: Or what ubottu says [17:06] qubozik: what is ubottu? [17:06] can you mount a usb? [17:06] PerSeL: It is a person (bot rather) in the chatroom [17:07] !bug [17:07] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [17:07] PerSeL: Right above me [17:07] qubozik: thanks didn't pay attention to him [17:07] PerSeL: perhaps you could open a terminal and keep dmesg running until it happens again. [17:08] i cant start vertualbox anymore it says "home/vbox/vbox-4.0.0/src/VBox/Main/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[518] (nsresult VirtualBox::init())." [17:08] PerSeL: No problem. Hope you get your wireless sorted out [17:08] PerSeL: Listen to botcity too [17:08] othman: try asking in #virtualbox [17:08] it's a simple question: can you mount a usb? [17:08] botcity: how do I dmesg? [17:09] PerSeL: You may be able to see system error that occurs when your wireless dies. THis owuld be useful in the bug ticket should you create one [17:09] hey all i had a quick question with regards to security ... does the # of open ports really contribute to the security of a system? or the lack thereof? [17:09] qubozik: how do I do this in terminal? [17:10] what should I write there? [17:10] open a terminal type : dmesg | tail -f and wait [17:10] PerSeL: Yes. Open terminal and run "dmesg" without quotes [17:10] delinquentme: it's not the number of open ports, it's the number of different applications listening to them. One application with 64000 ports open is less of a problem than 1000 applications with a single port each [17:10] delinquentme: basically you want to not have things you don't need running. [17:10] PerSeL: Do what botcity said [17:11] PerSeL: His way will show you logs as they happen mine will only display the latest logs [17:11] SwedeMike, ok thanks .. so ive got a mini issue on my hands [17:11] this is the first time ive requested for ports to be forwarded [17:11] hey all, im having errors in my update manager http://pastie.org/1431578 started when i installed a theme. guess i need to uninstall the theme? I'd prefer not to... [17:11] and im not sure that i NEED 40 ports? but its freaking out the tech advisor to one of the head dudes [17:12] botcity: I did that and what should I do with that paste it? [17:12] hey all I am running ubuntu desktop karamic and I want to replace the boot screen that just shows the Ubuntu icon where is this located I cannot seem to find it or any documentation on it anywhere [17:13] PerSeL: No. Just let it run in the background. Then check the last message right when your wireless go out. The last entry may hint at your problem with your wireless [17:13] how it's running in the background it just displayed me some text in the terminal [17:14] PerSeL: the messages are from the kernel .. i suggest doing some surfing then when it breaks check the messages [17:14] dev^null, are you wanting to customize the look of your boot screen? [17:14] PerSeL: Yes, but everytime a new event happens it will show up in the logs. [17:14] PerSeL: On your terminal [17:14] hello, can anyone help me burn an .iso file as a single file in 10.4 please? I've tried Brasero but it burns the .iso as multiple files. [17:14] why is it not possible to mount a usb? [17:15] yes but Not the one that says "Ubuntu" with the icon just the one that shows the icon and covers all the dmesg info [17:16] vincent_, it is possible [17:16] how then Visuex? [17:16] it is shown in lsusb that there's something, now I just want to mount it.. how? [17:17] Vincent_ are you looking to mount a thumb drive every time your system boots or what? [17:17] Do most new-comers to Ubuntu/Linux these days know how to install patches? [17:17] dev^null, this website http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-boot-splash-screen-logo-linux/ and also check out this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy#Changing%20the%20Gnome%20Splash%20Screen for help with customizing the boot screen [17:17] what is a thumb drive? [17:17] a flash drive [17:17] vincent_: Is that a real question? [17:17] dev^null I've got this really cheap digital camera and it's hooked on to my USB port now [17:17] a usb stick [17:17] usb drive = thumb drive = flash drive [17:17] vincent_, a small flash memory removable drive [17:18] vincent_: requires a lot of skill, you have to stear, shift, and signal with thumbs [17:18] vincent_: quite pointless really [17:18] that is different vincent_ ....you can look on the manufac website to see if they support linux...they might not [17:18] guys, how do I mount this cheap digital camera of mine? [17:18] xiven, patching sources is easy, why do you ask? [17:18] vincent_: does it have a usb port? [17:18] vincent_: or an internal memory card? [17:19] ie, microsd [17:19] goltoof, good point...sd would probably be easier [17:19] their website is in chinese or japanese [17:19] http://google.com/translate [17:20] google translator does web pages [17:20] How can I save all jpg files in a directory with lower quality (specified by file size)? [17:20] does it have removable media like an sd card or microsd? [17:20] I may have phrased it badly, earlier, but is it possible to burn an .iso file as a single file in 10.4 at all? [17:20] pozic why do you want to decrease the quality [17:20] doctormo here? [17:20] Visuex: because I have to mail it. [17:20] can someone recommend GUI diff/merge tool and text editor with customizable spell checking? [17:21] I'm heavily considering doing some part-time bug-fixing and/or extension development, and I wanted to make sure it would be easy enough for newbies to apply them (plugins are simple, but I haven't been sure patches were) [17:21] pozic: Probably would use ImageMagick [17:21] email it to someone and the archive is too big to fit in the email? [17:21] pozic: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/113978 [17:21] qubozik: botcity: could it be some kind of firewall in ubuntu? [17:21] Visuex, This is what i am trying to change http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/karmic-article-image01.png&imgrefurl=http://www.packtpub.com/article/what-is-new-in-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala&usg=__H8aiQxCFbmz5G1wd5V2kun468Wc=&h=375&w=458&sz=14&hl=en&start=18&sig2=K-_43p7phc568jAsC-UfQw&zoom=1&tbnid=oY6PDmbKt__-tM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=154&ei=mKgkTeqFBMaenAeIrpGBAg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dubuntu%2Bboot%2B [17:21] graphics%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dubuntu%26sa%3DN%26channel%3Dfs%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D574%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C460&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=676&vpy=108&dur=489&hovh=183&hovw=224&tx=124&ty=131&oei=kqgkTdGRKo2TnQfFhenPDQ&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:18&biw=1280&bih=574 [17:21] feanor2 I love gedit for editing but for diff/merg Meld is my fav [17:21] dev^null: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:22] PerSeL: Not likely. It owuld not work at all if that were the case. [17:22] oops long link sorry.. [17:22] xiven: why not contribute to upstream and let Ubuntu package management to take care of the application updates? [17:22] how to complie libreoffice source code [17:22] Visuex, here is the correct link http://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/Article-Images/karmic-article-image01.png [17:22] PerSeL: Also you would prob be able to recreate when you wireless fails if it were something like a firewall issue [17:22] myrtti:i got my mobile connected to ubuntu [17:22] Well, in some cases I may decide not to wait for official package management to roll something out. [17:22] Hello, can you help me please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/550740/ [17:22] the idea to try Mono to run a .net frame CD burn does not work [17:22] PerSeL: Sounds like it is too random to be a firewall type issue [17:22] Visuex, what you sent me was to change xsplash and I already did that. [17:23] oh ok [17:23] qubozik: if I disc from the connection it;s not helping, I have to delete it then it works [17:23] myrtti:downloaded easytether [17:23] pozic are you trying to email large files that are too large to email? [17:24] Though, contribution to upstream is how I'll submit anything I do with Pidgin, or Empathy. [17:24] xiven: no, patches and compiling something from scratch isn't really even supported - if people are capable of recompiling after patching they're pretty much expected to be able to help themselves after that - which is why I suggested that contributing the patches upstream is the best way [17:24] I'm getting fat :( [17:24] lol [17:24] pavanai: great [17:24] crawler you lolling at me? [17:25] *unlol* [17:25] myrtti:do u know how to compile libre office source code? [17:25] pavanai: no. [17:25] I guess I had assumed that many application plugins were applied via patches. [17:25] myrtti:ok [17:25] pozic, I think images should be as big as possible but I see how that can be an issue but there are many websites that are made for just that. My fav 2 are www.MegaUpload.com and www.MegaShares.com - upload an archive of the pictures and then send the download link in the email then there is no need to resize. [17:26] Just to be clear, contributions to upstream can be submitted via email, or server upload correct? [17:26] xiven: depending on the project, I would suggest you check their websites for details [17:27] PerSeL: Yeah it sounds like the connection gets lost but it still lingers and never disconnected correctly. Thats why you have to specifically remove it and re create it [17:28] im trying to open a .txt file and i get the message (do you want to run 'name_of.txt' is an executable text file ) and i heve run in terminal, run, desplay, cansel option. how to fix it? [17:28] PerSeL: It is an odd problem [17:29] pavanai, i'm sure documentfoundation site has some instructions or code iself [17:29] dev^null, sorry dude I have never heard of anyone wanting to do that so I dont know where that would be [17:29] feanor2:thnx i'l chk it [17:29] PerSeL: if you can recreate the problem , the kernel should spit out a message that could help us pinpoint the cause!! [17:29] jg47hm, if it's on NTFS partition, use mount option to make only exe com bat executables [17:30] Visuex, ok np thankx for your help [17:30] feanor2:i run ./configure but i got an error saying that requirement not met [17:30] PerSeL: in theory! [17:30] hello [17:30] botcity: qubozik: ok I got something i run in the terminal what you told me and waiting for another dc. [17:30] feanor2, meld working for ya? [17:30] pavanai, of course, because you probably nned a shitload of libraries [17:30] my file system is ext4 [17:31] Visuex, gonna test it [17:31] jg47hm, then make it *not* executable [17:31] feanor2: i've that tar file also can i do something with thst? [17:31] PerSeL: Great [17:31] PerSeL: Hopefully that will help you out [17:31] feanor2, there doesn't seem to be a mod in here so it wont matter this time but in the future watch your language as they will ban you quite quickly [17:32] which tar file? [17:32] thank you very much [17:32] My USB port don't recognize any hardware, can someone help me ? [17:33] ok i would but [17:33] i suck with terminal [17:33] so i will [17:33] pika_, have your tried a simple flash drive and see if it recognizes that? [17:33] but i cant promise ill be much good [17:33] ah there we go nvm [17:33] Ok. The only projects I'm currently considering helping with are: Pidgin, Empathy, and XChat; and possibly Kopete, Firefox, and VTiger. [17:34] xiven are you a coder? [17:34] I'd help with Ubuntu directly, but somehow I think I'd be to rusty. [17:35] i press the tray button and it not open (maybe is a hardware problem). how to open it from ubuntu? [17:35] By choice yes....though I haven't been able to actually write code in a while. [17:36] administrator, in a terminal type eject [17:36] xiven ahh ok...I know of two projects that could use an extra hand... uGet (download manager) and WebCamStudio (awesome webcam streaming software) [17:36] how did i get a analoge clock on gnome desktop (and some other applets)? [17:37] I can guarantee I'd be no help for cam software. [17:37] rethus1: look at screenlets, or desklets [17:37] have installed screenlets, but could'nt do anything on the desktop (right click) [17:37] how does i start sreenlets? [17:37] is there any command or smth to open the tray from ubuntu? [17:37] uGet, I suppose it would really depend on just how rusty I've become. [17:37] administrator_: i already told you [17:38] rethus it should be in your menu under applications > accessories [17:38] xiven ahh ok...well these aren't my projects I just use them and each have a team of one [17:38] rethus, you can also start screenlets from the terminal [17:38] Though, I think I'd want to try it before I started any development. [17:38] yes, great, thanks [17:38] it is not working [17:39] xiven certainly understandable [17:39] administrator_: can you eject from a nautilus window? navigate to computer:/// and right-click the drive and eject [17:40] I can code but I learned windows and web so I am basically starting over with linux coding... [17:40] Visuex: I assume uGet is either GTK, or XUL based? [17:41] i go to the computer and i right click on CD/DVD Drive but there is no option eject [17:42] what does "gdbm fatal: read error" mean? [17:42] hello, i have got a problem. I did "sudo update.grub" and now i can not log on to the new kernel. I have Ubuntu Lucid and Kubuntu Hardy Heron. Hardy Herons Kernel was updated and i cannot log in there. [17:42] administrator_: there are also some switches for the eject command, run eject --help ... try also eject -r .. or maybe eject -s [17:42] Can you help me? [17:42] my GRUB is from Lucid [17:42] let me try [17:42] When I use convert some options * it only converts some files, not all. [17:42] xiven its gtk [17:43] pozic I think images should be as big as possible but I see how that can be an issue but there are many websites that are made for just that. My fav 2 are www.MegaUpload.com and www.MegaShares.com - upload an archive of the pictures and then send the download link in the email then there is no need to resize. [17:43] Isn't there some _working_ tool? [17:43] Hello all [17:43] Visuex: that is not a solution, stop spamming. [17:43] Okay,. Well, if I do help any, I'll have to do some learning my self; it's been so long since I touched any gtk, I'm not sure I remember anything, heh. [17:43] it is a solution completely...and not spamming in anyway you should learn the definition [17:43] i have ubuntu server 8.04.2, my ethernet (eth1) local burn fire =] [17:44] pozic: use mogrify if you're trying to modify multiple files at once. [17:44] xiven dude is planning to jump to gtk3 whenever it is stable [17:44] crawler: i start gdesklet, but the window is empty [17:44] iam change for new, same model etc, and now every reboot, a have new mac adress [17:44] Visuex: it is an unsollicited message; it's spam. [17:44] hi guys, is there anyone here who is willing to try to help me out with a little issue I'm having with Virtualmin's FTP on an Ubuntu Server? I can't seem to successfully restrict them to an FTP folder - they always have permission to view all the trees above home :( [17:44] the right option is eject -r but when in try it i get the message (eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error) [17:44] =[ [17:45] it isnt as you asked for a way to email someone photos...why resize the photos when you dont have to and you can do something much easier with full quality...just makes most sense to me [17:45] changes mac address after reboot =[ [17:45] I only sent it the second time because you didnt respond to the first...I dont work there or something [17:45] Visuex: ok, fine. [17:46] hello everybody [17:46] administrator_: try eject scd0 .. or maybe eject scd1 [17:46] Visuex, what did you send? :P [17:46] i need some help... any manuals for ubuntu 10.10 and multiseat? [17:46] *in gnome [17:46] Pici: in which package? [17:46] zacetnik, you can get all the docs from ubuntu.com [17:47] i know but where? i found only for ubuntu 10.04 and older [17:47] pozic: Its part of imagemagick [17:47] what happen with the flash in gamezer ? does anyone know ? [17:47] i have ubuntu server 8.04.2, my ethernet (eth1) local burn fire =] [17:47] changes mac address after reboot =[ [17:47] iam change for new, same model etc, and now every reboot, a have new mac adress [17:48] slipttees: What is your question? [17:48] so there is no support for multiseat in ubuntu? [17:48] Pici: yeah, I just saw it. Sorry for asking :) [17:48] hello, i have got a problem. I did "sudo update.grub" and now i can not log on to the new kernel. I have Ubuntu Lucid and Kubuntu Hardy Heron. Hardy Herons Kernel was updated and i cannot log in there. [17:48] pozic: no problem :) [17:48] Geekneeus: Mac address changes at reboot [17:49] it is only shown the screen where it says "Running local boot scripts [etc]" [17:49] Geekneeus: every [17:49] pozic: looks like gThumb will batch convert [17:49] slipttees: Do you have any scripts within preup of the /etc/network/interfaces file? [17:49] zacetnik: this channel offers support by volunteers, it may just be that nobody active at this very moment have no answers to give you. Please be patient, use other methods of searching help as forums and wiki/help pages, and ask again later [17:50] christopher_, I have no idea what you are talking about [17:50] Oh come on guys! It seems to me he posted a link to a service to benefit another person. That isn't spamming! Spamming is more like if I posted a link to a sales page for viagra, lingerie, or bs like that. [17:51] Geekneeus: static ip only [17:51] pozic: gThumb > Tools > Scale Images === CPM1 is now known as CP-M1 [17:51] zacetnik, if there isnt a document for it in 10.10 but there is one for 10.04 then that means the 10.04 way still works in 10.10 they don't rewrite docs for each release...if it still works from an older version they just leave that one up [17:51] Pici: mogrify worked as advertised. [17:51] pozic: great [17:52] !spam | Visuex, xiven [17:52] xiven exactly and is a better solution to his problem but he didnt want to use it and that is perfectly fine...his choice [17:52] heh, you guys are in luck the spambot is down for the count :) [17:52] slipttees: I am not sure what your problem is but you could create a script that does ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00 where 00:00... is your desired mac [17:52] Geekneeus: no ideia? [17:52] xiven, Visuex: move on [17:53] hum.... maybe ethernet hardware problem?? [17:53] BluesKaj, Myrtti it isnt spam and I have as you may have noticed I started talking to zacetnik [17:53] israfil: Try running update-grub again? [17:53] Hey now, all I did one post a single statement to his defense. If there WAS a problem, I surely wouldn't be part of it. [17:53] Geekneeus: maybe....hardware problem? [17:54] I installed one Windows software by Wine at netbook, how may I find it? [17:54] israfil: though if it goes further than the grub menu then it's probably something else [17:54] xiven no worries logic is lost on some [17:54] Andre_Gondim, Applications -> Wine -> etc [17:55] in the main menu at the top left [17:55] Visuex, xiven , bah ...you guys have no sense of humour :) [17:55] slipttees: Usually hardware comes with a predetermined mac address to my knowledge, I don't know for sure, but I don't see why it would be a hardware issue [17:55] sometimes Wine is installed in System Tools but not often [17:55] what is ubuntu ? [17:55] !ubuntu | prax [17:55] prax: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [17:55] Isn't "xchat -a -e irc://server/channel" supposed to open the specified server and channel in existing xchat window? At least that what the man page says. For me, it just opens a brand new xchat and does nothing...anyone having this issue? === mohammad is now known as Guest71563 [17:56] BluesKaj, I do but sarcasm and such is really hard to detect in irc :) [17:56] Geekneeus: reboot, create new line, other device eth** and new mac address in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [17:56] Ganymede, are you talking about clicking a link on a website for a new channel and then it opening in an existing window rather than creating a new window? [17:57] One who thinks spam is a joke is the fool who does not know the joke in which he is. [17:57] Ganymede, are you sure you dont need to add the command you want? (-c) [17:57] Geekneeus: now i have 10 eth =]~ [17:57] You're humor is about as funny as that made-up quote. [17:57] xiven Aristotle said that one right? [17:58] rs0832, I don't want to execute a specific command, I just want xchat to connect to the specified server and channel in an existing window...that is what the man page suggests the -a -e should do... [17:58] Maybe...I thought I made it up though [17:58] Ganymede, -e and -a dont take arguments (the irc://server/channel) [17:58] how to browse anonimously on ubuntu? [17:58] hi, i'm here for one question with my USB [17:58] what version available in the market ? [17:58] xiven lol never know people tend to talk alot [17:58] rs0832, the irc://server/channel isn't an argument to either -a or -e, it's the last option in the entire xchat command line [17:59] Ganymede, try adding a --command=/connect or something like that [17:59] pika_, I am here with one answer although could be wrong [17:59] Ganymede, whynot use a an irc client like quassel or empathy [17:59] how to browse anonimously on ubuntu? [17:59] sl33k_: Use Vidalia but it's not supported by Ubuntu and it's not proven to be anonymous [17:59] BluesKaj, because xchat is awesome [17:59] I need a help. Has anyone been successful building binutils & gcc combined tree? [17:59] Ganymede, ah ok [17:59] !tor | sl33k_ [17:59] sl33k_: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is not in Ubuntu's repositories. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [17:59] Geekneeus: random mac address after reboot [18:00] Ganymede, does it open just the window? or does it connect to atleast the server [18:00] Visuex, that's an exaggeration ..but you're entittled to be misinformed :) [18:00] slipttees: I am aware of your issue, please be patient and somebody more suitable may be able to answer your question [18:00] okay...sorry Geekneeus [18:00] Can anybody help me with X Server random freezes here? [18:00] lol it very well could be...I dont like empathy for irc because it is an IM client...never heard of the other [18:01] rs0832, It appears to nothing at all...except print out some gtk warnings === Guest71563 is now known as mohammad____ [18:01] rs0832, actually, those gtk warnings are irrelevant... [18:01] Can anybody help me with X Server random freezes here? [18:01] Ganymede, so no window either? [18:01] Guest71563: I'm not in for long now; check /var/log/syslog and /var/org/Xorg.0.log for hints [18:02] Hey guys, I'm a redhat guy and I'm trying to find out which versions of libvirt and qemu are available in ubuntu server 10.04 and 10.10. Thinking about going ubuntu ATM and I need to know if I should use the latest release or if I can use the LTS. [18:02] rs0832, well the pre-existing window still exists [18:02] rs0832, but there is no new window [18:02] Visuex, ok, it's maybe to long to explain,my first language are not english, but when I connect anything in my USB , they don't be detected, and I need to reboot for detecting my hardware USB, LSUSB show me the hardware [18:02] I can't seem to find the package lists, though. [18:02] so do you use quassel BluesKaj ? [18:02] what is gksudo gedit? [18:02] daharon: http://packages.ubuntu.com [18:02] rs0832, i tried xchat -a -e --command=/connect irc://server/name and also xchat -a -e --command="/connect irc://server/name". i should also specify that i must supply the URL in irc://server/name format since that's the format i'm getting from a script. [18:02] !info qemu | daharon [18:02] Guest71563: system fully updated, which distro, any special hardware ? [18:02] daharon: qemu (source: qemu-kvm): dummy transitional pacakge from qemu to qemu-kvm. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7.1 (maverick), package size 14 kB, installed size 44 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc s390 lpia all armel sparc) [18:03] rs0832, and there is no reason that format shouldn't be sufficient since it's the format described in the man page [18:03] !info qemu-kvm | daharon [18:03] daharon: qemu-kvm (source: qemu-kvm): Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7.1 (maverick), package size 2504 kB, installed size 7064 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc s390 lpia all armel sparc) [18:03] Ganymede, same thing happens to me [18:03] pika_, have you tried a flash drive to see if it is detected (most of the time those work regardless of brand) [18:03] what is gksdo gedit? [18:03] !info qemu-kvm lucid | daharon [18:03] daharon: qemu-kvm (source: qemu-kvm): Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware. In component main, is optional. Version 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.3 (lucid), package size 2496 kB, installed size 7056 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc s390 lpia all armel sparc) [18:03] erUSUL: thanks. I guess I'm going with 10.10, then. [18:04] daharon: good luck [18:04] My printer can print a test page, but when I try printing a pdf, it hangs at "processing". Any clue what to do? [18:04] what is gksudo gedit? [18:04] sl33k_, I think you mean gksu or gksudo that is how you run apps as root [18:04] sl33k_: opens gedit (The text editor) as the super user [18:04] BlueEagle, it's not really a question of which IRC client i prefer, but rather how to interpret xchat's man page to understand its command-line interface [18:04] why are there only two versions of Ubuntu...ever? like we only have 9.04 or 9.10. 10.04 or 10.10. Why? [18:05] Visuex, actually no , I konversation , but quassel has become very popular, so i thought I'd mention it ..konverstaion requires a lot of kde-libs which some gtk purists find offensive :) [18:05] davekathy: check permissions of the printer executables. I had the same problem last time. [18:05] davekathy: http://localhost:631 will give you a little more control over CUPS/printing [18:05] Visuex, every hardware was detected before, but after i have tryed a NDISWRAPPER method for installing an USB-WIFI driver hardware,after all my hardware usb don't be detected [18:05] Nanoha: lts and development releases [18:05] !lts [18:05] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [18:05] lol BluesKaj I'm not a purist but I tend to prefer not to mix the two :) [18:05] uzi__: Where are the printer executables located and what are they called [18:05] why is sudo needed before apt-get or aptitude? [18:06] Visuex: i use quassel. adding on to what BluesKaj said, there are two versions of quassel in the repos. one uses kde libraries, while the other is pure qt [18:06] you have to be root in order to install anything [18:06] or run updates [18:06] !sudo | sl33k_ [18:06] sl33k_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [18:06] ah, okay. so how long is the *.10 version good for? [18:06] Ganymede, for me, it opens a new window [18:06] Visuex, I use both actaully , but it can clutter the apps list/menus [18:06] Nanoha: see above, 3 years [18:06] rs0832, does anything happen in that new window? [18:06] sl33k_: because non-admin users can't edit system files. thatd be /awful/ for security, and installing/removing/changing software is an example of changing system files [18:06] maco interesting thanks for the info [18:06] !natty | Nanoha: [18:06] Nanoha:: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [18:07] DasEi, Nanoha: no. 10.10 is supported for 18 months. [18:07] Ganymede, nope.. just a new window in addition to the old one [18:07] okay.18 months. [18:07] Nanoha: see above, right [18:07] rs0832, so...still no solution on how to open irc:// via xchat from the command line? [18:07] Nanoha: Please take a look at the following link, as we have more than just 2 releases of Ubuntu currently supported: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [18:07] Ganymede, m checking [18:08] i have a ubuntu netbook and a ubuntu desktop i want to be able to control, and send files to my desktop is this possible and if so how do i go about doing this ? [18:08] Guest71563: ? === rsetti is now known as giskard [18:08] davekathy: i'm not very sure, but check under /usr/lib/cups [18:08] Ganymede, why do you want to use terminal for that? [18:08] pr3zident: set up a shared folder in one of the machines? [18:08] should they be 770? [18:08] anyone knows if it's possible to have a computer request a website and have another computer connected to the first one (with a browser) and have it shown the exact same content of the first pc that connects to the site? [18:08] Geekneeus: okay...pay new Ethernet =] [18:08] maco, i'm not anti quassel , but it's "look" isn't my cuppa tea [18:08] pr3zident: right click on a folder choose sharing options [18:08] ok [18:08] uzi__: should they be 770? [18:08] !samba | pr3zident [18:08] pr3zident: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [18:09] pr3zident, dropbox.com erUSUL is right though that works too [18:09] rs0832, the solution is probably to use --url=irc://blah/blah although that would mean the man page is incorrect [18:09] BluesKaj: meh preferences. you're not the only konversation user i know :) [18:09] Ganymede, yes.. xchat -h doesnt say anything about the url...not sure if it is significant [18:09] maco, :) [18:09] Visuex: why go to the internet f both machines are in a LAN? [18:09] ok thanx im going to try those is their ne way i can control my desktop from my netbook [18:10] because maybe they arent in a lan at some point...he has a netbook afterall [18:10] Ganymede, and the man page is 2 years old [18:10] uzi__: I'm not sure what I'm looking for. would it be /usr/lib/cups/driver? [18:10] if it was desktop to desktop then certainly dropbox wouldnt be needed but with a notebook or a netbook it is very convenient to be anywhere and still be synced [18:11] how do I give a certain process a readable name? [18:11] rs0832, well...that's kind of annoying...but at least i probably solved the issue [18:11] davekathy: well, mine is under /usr/lib/cups/backend [18:11] say I have a pid, and I want to have that pid's name displayed in ps, wat do? [18:11] Visuex, dropbox is great ..I've used it to share files with family [18:11] I have connected , a flash disk 4Go + bluetooth dongle + wifi dongle , all hardware are visible in LSUSB , but i don't know how to use it [18:11] Ganymede, yep [18:11] BluesKaj, maco if either of you are against xchat mind telling me why? [18:11] signpost: ps -A | grep [18:11] BluesKaj, agreed...love that program [18:12] uzi__: can't I give processes names somehow? [18:12] uzi__: but yeah, that does it [18:12] pika_, have you tried uninstalling what messed it up? [18:12] uzi__: I see mine I think. The permissions are -rwxr-xr-x root root [18:12] hey guys I have a problem that just came up after I did my first updates with a new install of ubuntu 10.10. During boot i get a message saying k10temp unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled. [18:12] django [18:12] ok i'll try to uninstall ndiswrapper [18:13] davekathy: well, it look ok. perhaps, the problem isn't there. [18:13] those were to mount windows [18:13] Visuex, dunno , it's "clunky" , dunno how else to describe it , separate serverpages etc [18:13] uzi__: Thanks anyway :) [18:13] lol this chat moves fast im trying to catch everything [18:13] Does anyone know where i'd go for transmission documentation? There doesn't seem to be any out there other than the man pages [18:13] davekathy: you could try checking the logs, under /var/log/cups [18:13] uzi__: K :) [18:14] wolfric: What do you need to know? I found what I needed using google [18:14] the server pages is kind of annoying and I dont like how the tabs are not arrangeable but anything other than feel? Is it a resource hog or something or just feel (which is fine just wanting to clarify) [18:14] Nanoha: differences between the daemon,cli and the gui [18:14] hi! Which coding system is allowed for /etc/passwd? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [18:14] only ascii? [18:14] pr3zident, still looking for file syncing? [18:14] ah. I didn't know there was a daemon mode. LOL [18:14] yes [18:14] Visuex: i find xchat's settings thing difficult to navigate, so back when i used gnome i used xchat-gnome. BluesKaj and i just happen to be kde users though, so we use kde irc clients [18:15] file syncing and control of my desktop from my netbook [18:15] ah no one has had the same problem :/? [18:15] royale1223, [18:15] yeah ;) [18:15] hi all [18:15] Visuex, well I'm just used to konversation , it's easy to setup and has a simple interface [18:15] Can anyone help me out setting up an eggdrop server in Ubuntu? [18:15] boomboomflynn, wrong channel [18:15] pr3zident, are you talking about remote sharing your desktop so you can see the desktop and everything from the netbook on the go or while at home? [18:16] on the go > [18:16] !eggdrop [18:16] BluesKaj, maco I see well thank you for the info...I'm not a kde user so I may stick with xchat for a bit [18:16] pr3zident: consider teamviewer.com ... they have a version for linux [18:16] what's an eggdrop server? [18:16] Can anyone help me with unreliable CPU thermal sensor error? [18:16] I've actually gotten used to the settings/preferences in this app but yea crap is overly complicated lol [18:17] teamviewer ok im going to try this [18:17] uzi__, an irc bot [18:17] uzi__: eggdrop is a irc bot [18:17] pr3zident, teamviewer.com for the remote sharing as GeekSquid said and for file syncing try dropbox.com [18:17] oh, ok. [18:17] Visuex thanx i will try [18:17] pr3zident, there are other options for remote sharing but teamviewer is by far the easiest to setup and use [18:18] Hey guys, what is the Ubuntu equivalent of RedHat's kickstart? [18:18] pr3zident: Visuex: teamviewer will also do file transfer 2 different modes [18:18] and will i be able to connect no matter when i am ? [18:18] GeekSquid, true but I am pretty sure he wants file syncing rather than just simple transfers [18:18] Visuex: so ubuntuone [18:18] pr3zident, if you are on broadband of some kind yes as long as teamviewer is running on your desktop you can do so [18:19] ok let me try this now .. thanx Visuex and Geeksquid [18:19] GeekSquid, yes that is an option as well and for him that would work but for me I am stuck with using windows for crap like Photoshop so I use dropbox to sync overall OSs [18:20] which is why I suggest dropbox because you arent limited if for some reason in the future you start using another os [18:20] ciao [18:20] Visuex: ubuntuone now has a windows client in beta [18:21] ubuntu one works in blows anyway [18:21] how to install polipo from your favourite repository as mentioned here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#polipo ? [18:21] ? [18:21] anyone know of a program that will organize my mp3 collection based on tag information? [18:21] im going to try drop box to because i also use windows and sometimes want to transfer files [18:21] Whenever I try and open up folders (which would normally be opened using nautilus) my media player (banshee) opens up instead. I can't change this option under preferred applications. Anyone know how to fix this? [18:21] w/o having to go to my desktop [18:21] osmosis: ex falso can do that among other similar applications [18:21] list [18:21] pr3zident, there is a slight issue though....you have to edit the preferences in teamviewer and add a password before unattended sharing can be done [18:21] * Soyo has returned. [18:22] Visuex, ok and i have to install teamviewer on both computers right [18:22] JohnThomson, what do you mean [18:22] how to install polipo from your favourite repository as mentioned here https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#polipo ? [18:22] pr3zident, yes you need it on both [18:22] *winblows, sorry, habit, windows [18:23] lol JohnThomson ok === uzi__ is now known as ulziibuyan [18:23] teamviewer is also windows and osx compatible which is why it is awesome as it is complete cross platform...even works on smartphones :) [18:24] that's cool [18:24] Btw, any chance anyone is available to help me with a Linux related project, no coding skill or anything like that required [18:24] if the commercial version wasnt so freaking expensive I would certainly pay them for the app [18:25] well i am fail to install ubuntu 10.04 [18:25] JohnThomson, guess it depends on what it is so explain it and maybe someone can [18:25] on my computer [18:25] so what is limited on the free one Visuex ? [18:25] Visuex, but teamviewer is tru their server, do you trust that ? [18:25] got a question. why does flashplayer seem to be stuck in fast play on Ubuntu 10.10 [18:25] 0erHeks, so i would be sending files through their server [18:25] ? [18:26] Trying to convert the UK government from windows to Linux (preferably, Ubuntu) [18:26] can any one help me [18:26] pr3zident, nothing is really limited actually it just shows a "thank you for using the free version of teamviewer" message and loads up a webpage after every usage [18:26] o ok [18:26] teamviewer is not open source, so what you do ? pr3zident [18:26] OerHeks, yes and no but all of the screensharing programs are thru their servers so if you use any at all you are doing that...except if you setup vnc which is quite complicated [18:27] http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ how to install this? [18:27] yeah ive tried vnc but it was complicated [18:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/550755/ i have this issue [18:27] can any one help me [18:27] JohnThomson, #ubuntu-offtopic is better suited for that type of request. [18:28] I've been passed back and forward between here and there :P [18:28] Bipul: your cd/dvd is too scratchy [18:28] Bipul: or is otherway broken [18:28] Bipul: burn new [18:28] how to install this? noobie here http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ [18:28] JohnThomson, try here then: www.reddit.com/r/linux [18:28] well i now on through my cd [18:28] pr3zident, OerHeks I use teamviewer and it is recommended by a lot of app reviewers so it cant be that bad :) but I have used it for a while with no big issues [18:28] this channel is meant for support JohnThomson :/ [18:28] HI I just installed Ubuntu 10.10.. I have a Solid State drive in the system that I want auto-mounted on every reboot.. how can this be done? [18:28] i am runing my ubuntu through CD gobbe [18:28] VIsuex cool [18:28] I actually dont use the file transfers though so dont know about that [18:28] Okey :) [18:29] so how can CD have issue ? [18:29] sl33k_: download the package, untar it and run configure and make to build it [18:29] Hi everyone [18:29] pr3zident, is all you want is a secure file transfer method? [18:29] nishttal2: yes, you can add it to /etc/fstab [18:29] nishttal2: and then it will be automounted [18:29] Doinkle and control of my desktop from my netbook [18:29] Bipul: well, you need to burn new one [18:29] gobbe, i dont want to make changes to files manually.. is there an interface to do this? [18:29] Bipul, what? how can cd have issue? I dont understand what you are having problems with [18:30] pr3zident, if you don't want teamviewer's nag screen. look into VNC over SSH. yeah it might be complicated to you at first, but learning how to do that is worthwhile [18:30] Question: I installed updates and now my screen res is stuck at 640x480. How do I get it back to 1920x1080? I did this before but I forgot how and lost the notes. [18:30] nishttal2: no idea, in linux you have to do every now and then changes by hand to files [18:30] whats the command to toggle terminal colors? [18:30] hotkey [18:30] Doinkle is the screen much of a problem ? [18:30] or cmd [18:30] Visual`, i have issue with installation [18:31] mbvpixies78, never happened to me, but deleting the xorg.conf(?) file will reset it. maybe someone else can elaborate [18:31] gobbe, can you please tell me what exactly to write then [18:31] pr3zident, i dont undrstand your question [18:31] Bipul: well there's no way to fix it. you need to burn new one [18:31] i can't able to install ubuntu10.04 as right now i am runing ubuntu 10.04 VIA cd [18:31] nishttal2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [18:31] goltoof, WINDOWS +N key? [18:31] hello, I have ubuntu 10.10 on hp nc6320 and it does not recognise lid button, cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/C238/state gives always state: open ...any idea? [18:31] gobbe, looking.. thanks [18:31] you said if i don't want the nag screen ... i'm asking would it stop me from doing what i want to do ? [18:32] Doinkle: ok thanks, maybe a second opinion from anyone [18:32] nishttal2: if you have questions, feel free to ask :) [18:32] Doinkle, you need to point out that vnc is very complicated especially to linux beginners even if they are tech savvy - teamviewer is for ease of use but ssh certainly would be more secure [18:32] pr3zident, nag screen in teamviewer is what i meant [18:32] oo ok [18:32] where's xorg.conf again? [18:32] Doinkle: no, but that's kinda cool :P [18:32] pr3zident, the nag screen on teamviewer only shows after the session is ended so it doesnt interfere at all [18:32] Visuex, i did point out vnc was complex, i also added it was worth learning about ;) [18:32] Doinkle: i mean the syntax [18:32] Visuex, cool with me [18:32] How do you fix a GPG error for software repos? It looks like one is missing. [18:32] Doinkle: or colors for files, folders, etc [18:33] might be and at first is misleading is what I meant :) its a certainty lol [18:33] goltoof, i use gnome terminal myself, and customized that. i got used to gnome term [18:33] Doinkle, but certainly worth it for sure [18:33] Doinkle: i was thinking there was a command to turn coloring on/off [18:33] goltoof, compiz might have something, but i dont know of it [18:33] Doinkle: i use terminator.. anyway my local terminal has color, the remote does not [18:34] On my netbook i know how to install applications and everything but is their a folder i should install my applications to ? [18:34] Doinkle: think i just need to toggle colors to on for the remote. i've done it before... oh look.. google! [18:34] pr3zident, it is mainly show for people who may try to use it as a way to support customers which is done to inform the customer that you are using a free program with them in case you try to be sneaky :) [18:34] whats better to watch tv in my laptop? a Digital TV express card or a usb TV Tuner Card? [18:35] pr3zident, applications are installed in a location on their own in ubuntu...you never have to worry about that kind of thing [18:35] pr3zident, their nag screen is karma at play, right Visuex? [18:35] Hi, if i were to manipulate display drivers on gnome that caused it to crash before it logs in, if i were to use xfce, would it crash? [18:35] Visuex o ok i see [18:35] lol Doinkle pretty much [18:35] soo, I have turned on the remote desktop feature and installed ssh, and set the port forwarding up in my router... and I can't connect to either of them remotely [18:35] gobbe, can i leave the blank? [18:35] nishttal2: then it it dedaults [18:36] nishttal2: defaults [18:36] anyone know where xorg.conf is? it's really hard to navigate because of my resolution and having to pan [18:36] Micdawg|work, does remote work on the lan? before u troubleshoot wan? [18:36] nishttal2: and it depends what is file system in your ssd-disk? [18:36] pr3zident, installing in ubuntu is very easy....find the thing you want click install and you're done :) [18:36] I don't know, I didn't want to try, the only other box I have on that network is the wifes windows box :) lol [18:36] gobbe, its ext4 [18:36] nishttal2: ok, then defaults is fine [18:36] well i just extracted team viewer and their is no install button lol [18:36] mbvpixies78, i think: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:36] pr3zident, I didnt vote for you..I think it was rigged [18:37] That was my next step though, I just didn't know what else I had to do, do I have to edit iptables? I am at work now and don't have access to the box at this time [18:37] lmaooooooo Visuex [18:37] Micdawg|work, that can test it [18:37] gobbe, perfect done :) [18:37] Micdawg|work, heck no. [18:37] Doinkle : k [18:37] someone hacked the System Visuex damm computers :) [18:37] nishttal2: :) [18:37] Micdawg|work, basically: forward port for SSH ONLY...not VNC. make sure ssh works outside the lan. make sure vnc works inside the lan [18:37] pr3zident, lol....are you 32bit or 64? [18:38] hmmm 64 bit [18:38] Anybody else noticed Empathy isn't sending or receiving any messages? (at least for MSN) [18:38] Micdawg|work, are you going to remote connect from outside your LAN on a windows or linux box? or both? [18:38] http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb [18:38] Doinkle : Both [18:38] download and double click that...dont extract [18:38] Doinkle : I am editing the router now [18:38] Do driver effects carry over to different desktop environments? [18:38] Micdawg|work, have you used putty before? [18:38] ok i downloaded the tar.gz file [18:38] Doinkle : Yes, every day of my life [18:38] deb files are kind of like exe files for ubuntu [18:38] Sammi16: should if that were the root of the problem [18:38] Doinkle : That is what I am using to try and connect [18:39] Micdawg|work, ok. also as a tip: use a non-standard port on your router. pick a videogame port or something.. just keep it more obscured [18:39] Doinkle : Ok, trying that now [18:39] gobbe, can I use this for Samba shares as well? [18:39] Micdawg|work, ok, so once ssh works outside lan, in putty you need to add a tunnel to the machine IP and port. its under tunnels in putty [18:39] nishttal2: yes [18:39] Hey all, I am trying to completely remove Wine and with no luck, tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" and it's still there I even deleted .wine in home Dir... any ideas anyone? [18:40] gobbe, what would be the device for samba share? [18:40] Doinkle : Awesome, thank you, trying now. [18:40] putty? Doinkle windows to ubuntu? [18:40] gobbe, oh wait.. its on the same link.. i'll read [18:40] Visuex, putty is ported to linux now [18:40] I want my computer's hostname to be known on my LAN. What service provides this functionality? Instead of referring to the compter by IP address, I'd like to refer to it by it's hostname [18:40] I am trying to install touch screen drivers on my tablet, but i usually cant even get to the login screen before it crashes. Other than reinstalling ubuntu (10.04 netbook remix), is there anything else i can do? [18:40] Doinkle, oh cool didnt know that [18:40] Visuex, windows can remote to linux no problem [18:40] nishttal2: you need to install few packages, but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [18:40] :Doinkle: Thanks [18:41] np [18:41] nishttal2: it's better that i give you link, instead to give you command so you undestand also what you are altering :) [18:41] earthmeLon: it's called DNS-server [18:41] I am not refering to DNS. I know there is another service [18:42] * Doinkle will be back in 15 mins... [18:42] gobbe, yeah I am reading the link you just sent [18:42] earthmeLon, I just sat down, what are you looking for? [18:42] pr3zident, you got it working now? [18:42] nishttal2: yes. and again, if you are unsure about something, don't hesitate to ask [18:42] Hi all. I've go an install of ubuntu 8.04. Apt is giving me errors on about the repos. Are they still up? [18:42] Is that a no?

[18:44] Error: Wrong architecture 'amd64' [18:44] agentgasmask: go to Software Sources, or Synaptic and Go to repositories, then check to see if the repositories are checked [18:44] Visuex: you mean reinstall, vs upgrade? [18:44] agentgasmask: also, dont forget to reload, lol. [18:44] hey, are all terminal based programs able to run with via ssh? irssi works as im using it on my windows comp atm [18:44] KM0201, no Sammi16 said something about his loader crashing so upgrade probably isnt an option [18:44] Visuex, many people say there has been much trouble with 10.10 and my tablet (Archos 9) [18:45] her [18:45] Visuex: oh ok.

I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect... [19:26] I always think it's called netbios/win vs BIND. [19:27] that's the second option but in case you run into problems you're more likely to get help with bind [19:27] Gartral, what ISP provides the 3g? [19:27] james296: try to change all "us.archive" to "archive." [19:27] james296: maybe us-archive is broken [19:29] gobbe: I tried this device /dev/bus/usb/003/002 in cheese , but it doesnt work [19:29] PerSeL: is your hardware Broadcom can you pastebin the command: lshw from the terminal === myrti_ is now known as kaddi [19:30] Visuex, it doesn't matter, it'll actually do 4g through t-mo/sprint, but right now im trying to set up verizon 3g [19:30] gobbe: I'm using MMkt [19:31] which package contains the keyboard layout switcher applet for gnome on 10.10 gnome 2.30.2 , gnome-applets don't have it (??)

I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect... I know alot of guides out there say you have too recompile the kernel, but that isn't an option for me at all.. [19:36] no, I even manually selected individual servers [19:36] *AFTER UPDATING [19:36] james296: hmmh...interesting, is this plain install? [19:36] gobbe: I'm thinking to put nvidia tv device in blacklist.

[19:40] wazz: /etc/rc.local is run every boot, at last thing [19:40] steve34, Check it out and let me know if you can follow iup. [19:40] steve34: well, i'm not sure what do you mean by getting into drive [19:40] steve34: do you mean installing or seeing files, or what [19:40] accessing the contents of the drive [19:41] Im running ubuntu server, does rc.local run when nobody hasnt logged in? [19:41] can anyone help me with a gobi 2000 3g modem? I have the firmware files, and i made a udev ruleset, but i still can't connect... I know alot of guides out there say you have too recompile the kernel, but that isn't an option for me at all.. [19:41] wazz: yes [19:41] wazz: it's run at boot [19:41] Ok I am back with the same issue does anyone know how to change this boot screen http://i.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339299234/ubuntu-910-karmic-koala_1.jpg [19:41] PerSeL: there seem's a problem with the app armor have you tried pluging it into the ethernet port [19:41] gobbe: do i just add it there by copying? [19:41] on one of my filesystems df shows 9.3G usage while du tells me 2.2G are used. how is that possible? it's a logical volume.e [19:41] gobbe: side question, is that before or after system > prefs > startup applications? Thanks [19:41] ext3 formatted [19:41] wazz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto [19:42] botcity: no i haven't tried to plug cable on linux [19:42] Hey guys, I have done some modification to the kubuntu-logo plymouth script (which can easily be adapted for ubuntu and co. of course) since the original one did not allow you to ask a question, you could ask for a password but not without the text being hidden. Where can I propose this patch/modification to be reviewed? === leif_ is now known as Leif [19:42] steve34, Did you get the link? That will allow you to reset your root password and from there you can reset the passwords for any of your accounts. [19:42] on a friends 10.10 install it needs acpi=off for it to boot, (lucid didnt need any parameters), well Im just wondering if there is any other parameter that will be as effective but keep the ability to shut down.. as it stands now it gives the shutdown splash but he has to use the power button to actually power down.? [19:42] Drone4four: startup applications are only triggered when logging in [19:42] I have problem with GParted. I installed it and it shows only one partition, but there should be 4. Is there program's bug or what? [19:43] Drone4four: rc.local is running after boot [19:43] gobbe: Thanks [19:43] is there a way i can repartiiton a disk with data already on it? [19:43] mactimes: I did look at it, but I'm a slow reader [19:43] Nanoha, the install cd has gparted [19:43] not to mention, I'm a relative nOOb at this [19:43] james296: is the error message same that it was before you reinstalled? [19:44] brb [19:44] steve34, Ok. That is a step-by-step procedure. I've written that because many people already asked that. So, if you need any help with that, just let me know. [19:44] okay. So....I need to reinstall Ubuntu. I've got my (now corrupted) installation on the hard drive.. By using Gparted, I can install a new Ubuntu without affecting my data? [19:44] mactimes: thx [19:44] Nanoha, you didnt ask that... [19:44] Nanoha, what exactly is your issue? [19:44] steve34, np. [19:44] I dont remember, but Im thinking about reinstalling and going back on here [19:45] I havent installed anything except this on it [19:45] I tried to upgrade my linux. I blew up...twice. now I have to reinstall to fix the problems. so I want to make an empty partiition, move my data to that new partition, and reinstall linux in the old (now system only) partiion. [19:45] gobbe: I`ll be back in a few minutes [19:45] Nanoha, no need. pop the cd in, choose install route. when the partition editor runs, just reformat the partitions besides /home [19:46] cool! thanks. [19:46] Nanoha, of course, always back up data before doing this. :P [19:46] Nanoha, also, don't worry once you get to that screen. it warns you that you are about to permanently change the drive [19:46] ok [19:47] Nanoha, so boot up and you'll see what i mean. you ca back out of it if you want by aborting the install..as long as it is BEFORE you write changes to partition [19:47] feanor2: thank you, it's working now. ( the ibus preferences has the option to show the layout switcher now ) i don't know what's wrong with the oldschool way of simply adding the applet :) [19:48] how can i boot live linux from USB in NTFS partition,is there any tools for windows to do that? [19:48] mactimes: I'm in live cd. The computer doesn't seem to find the hard drive. There are no jumpers to tell it that it's master, slave, or what [19:48] I would like to install a program requiring python 2.5, is it better to virtualenv or install 2.5 as well? [19:48] PerSeL: please see this{ :http://ubuntuforums.org/tags.php?tag=iwlagn } it appears there is a problem with this driver other people have the same problem, please file a bug report to launchpad [19:49] it seams I have lost some of the xinerama extension support of twinview when moving from a 2 screen to a 4 screen setup. on each twinview x session windows are not being placed as if they are aware of the screen offsets [19:49] steve34: if no jumpers then connect it as primary master and see what happens [19:49] steve34, Oh, sorry, I thought you wanted to regain access to the accounts in an already installed system. [19:49] michaelhealy, vm if you can. [19:49] how can i boot live linux from USB in NTFS partition,is there any tools for windows to do that? [19:49] steve34, Ok, start up a console then and we'll take if from there. [19:49] so basically windows are placed across both screens now, maximize does the same [19:50] steve34, Applications --> Accessories --> Console [19:50] Doinkle: Thanks, forgot to include that option. [19:50] steve34: regain accounts by passing the init=/bin/bash parameter to the kernel then change the passwords :) oops i didn't tell you that [19:50] farhad2010, not that i am aware [19:50] farhad2010: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [19:50] damn this server is packed [19:50] steve34, I mean, Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal [19:51] used to be like lagnet and zanet days [19:51] PerSeL: they should fix it in the next release [19:51] farhad2010, you boot directly from the usb ext3/4 partition not ntfs [19:51] steve34, Let me know when you're ready. [19:51] mactimes: I had figured that out. Btw, I'm restarting the computer with only the old hard drive through live cd [19:51] Can someone clarify how installing things from source can afect how apt-get or any package manager can keep track of the version of the program and verify if there are any upgrades... What happens if i install from source and then apt-get install or upgrade that program? [19:51] BluesKaj, thats what i thought [19:51] that way, it can't be messed up with the other hard drive [19:51] what was the last ubuntu to have python 2.5 as the default? [19:51] botcity how can I add this bug to the bug report I mean should I add some files from my system? [19:51] I should have copied it but before I got this xchat after I tried updating the sources list, it said something about a translation service [19:52] wolfric, apt-get(synaptic) has no way of tracking installs from source. [19:52] mactimes: I haven't yet folowed your counsel, but I have bookmarked it [19:52] wolfric: means it wont get updated automagically [19:52] the address [19:52] brb === dthi is now known as auk [19:53] steve34, That won't be of any use for you now. That's for root access recovery. [19:53] wolfric: when you install from the package manager it goes and get the package from a central repository or a "source" but when you install from a source file and compile yourself the package manager is not aware of it. [19:53] hello [19:53] hi === auk is now known as auk01 [19:53] steve34, That works in case you've lost access to your local accounts. It's a procedure to reset your root account password so that you can manage the other accounts in the computer. [19:53] Hello! [19:54] IdleOne: if i do apt-get -b source program, does it download the source and build it, install it and keep track of it? [19:54] mactimes: I understand that. I was root on that hard drive. Had bad block issues and replaced the 120GB with a 250GB [19:54] !pm | farhad2010 [19:54] farhad2010: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:54] PerSeL: yes please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [19:54] wolfric: yes but in that case it still went to the repo to get the source so it is aware, least I believe so. [19:54] I'm using the desktop-version of 10.10. But I can't activate my wifi-networkcard... Where can I get drivers for it? How to install them? [19:54] !usb | farhad2010 [19:54] farhad2010: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:54] wolfric: when you're compiling from source then the "make install" command will install stuff under /usr/local , packages get install in /usr/ , so you can have the same thing installed from souce ( like /usr/local/bin/program ) yet having the package installed ( /usr/bin/program ) , so they shouldn't interfere as far as the package manager cares... however by default the /usr directory will be used , if there's nothing there /usr/local/ w [19:54] ill also be checked [19:55] is there a program that can organize my music folder like itunes does??? [19:55] wolfric, think of it this way. if you install from source, in several ways you "are on your own". Using the package manager makes installations easier since the db is called for dependencies. [19:55] simon_, can you plug in a network cable? [19:55] I'm outta here. I'll see you maybe in a half hour [19:55] and thx for all [19:55] bye [19:55] cheers steve [19:55] riktking: Yes! I'm online with it now. [19:56] riktking, It's not the same thing, but you might want to take a look at xbmc. It's a media center package. [19:56] have you done an update? [19:56] thats great simon_ === jason is now known as Guest95612 [19:56] riktking: I'm not sure. When I installed the os it came up an automatic updatewindow. Was that the right window? [19:56] mactimes, im basically looking to sort out the mess that is my music folder, if maybe rhythumbox or banshee has it [19:57] wolfric: basically the package manager doesn't know/care about what you have installed from source because it won't touch /usr/local , treat that dir as "reserved for testing stuff from source" [19:57] simon_, load up terminal [19:57] riktking, sorta offtopic, but check out subsonic. you might be interested [19:57] Doinkle: thekid: IdleOne: right but what i really want to do is just install from source and have an entry in package manager that can check if it's out of date or if there are upgrades [19:57] simon_, type sudo apt-get update [19:57] wolfric, good luck. :P Is there a ppa? [19:57] simon_, then type sudo apt-get upgrade [19:57] simon_, will get you all the latest packages [19:57] riktking: Sorry, I'm nearly a total noob. But, yeah. I'll test sudo apt-get update [19:58] wolfric: then you need to add a deb-src line to sources.list [19:58] wolfric: then create a deb package from the source code, and install it using dpkg -i whatever.deb [19:58] simon_, once this is done go to system->administration->additional drivers [19:58] wolfric: see man apt-get and read the description for source [19:58] simon_, we we all n00bs once [19:59] riktking: I did the "sudo apt-get update" but I'm still not able to avtivate the networkcard [19:59] Doinkle, i tried that on my server didnt get on too well with it, just the folder is in a right mess and if anyone knows a program to sort it [19:59] simon_, before ya know it, you'll be in here answering all the newb questions. :P [19:59] simon_, did u do the sudo apt-get upgrade [20:00] riktking, IMHO it isn't worth it. just use an app as an indexer and move on [20:00] riktking: Oh, missed it. Thanks! [20:00] wolfric: Note that source packages are not tracked like binary packages, they exist only in the current directory and are similar to downloading source tar balls. [20:00] Doinkle, maybe i have a little obsessive compulsive about it lol [20:00] wolfric: basically the usual process of creating a package is something like: get the source, tar -xzvf whatever.tgz , cd whatever, ./configure , make , sudo checkinstall [20:00] riktking: I get the answer that there's nothing to upgrade [20:00] wolfric: that means that the package manager will not check for new versions of the source package [20:00] simon_, go to system-administration-additional drivers [20:01] wolfric: so instead of make install use checkinstall to create the .deb package [20:01] thekid: IdleOne oh really? so if you apt-get source it won't track it for updates? [20:01] simon_, that'll check if there are any avail [20:01] simon_, have you googled your wifi card? [20:01] wolfric: if I understand man page, no. [20:02] riktking: It seems like I can activate the card in additional drivers. Hold on! [20:02] simon_, did your wireless card work in the live mode of the CD ? [20:02] IdleOne: i see [20:02] simon_, thats how i have to do mine on my laptop, just reboot after and bobs ur uncle [20:02] one of my partitions is not mounting on boot, where can I check the log failing messages? [20:02] nunojpg, /var/messages ? [20:02] !checkinstall > wolfric [20:02] wolfric, please see my private message [20:02] wolfric: no idea i usually have a reason to recompile something and don't want the package manager to touch that, if you get the source by apt-get it will get updated yes, but thats probably not what you want (??? ) [20:03] IdleOne: thekid: If i want to build from source and not use binaries, are there any methods that will help me keep track of available upgrads or security patches? [20:03] hi, I would like to add programs for load during startup, but add them in the command line. [20:03] riktking: Bobs my uncle? ;) In there I downloaded the drivers. Should I reboot my laptop now? [20:03] wolfric: ubottu just sent you info on exactly what you asked [20:03] AlexJ_, that's an open-ended question. have you tried /etc/rc.local ? [20:04] simon_, shouldnt need to reboot.. [20:04] IdleOne: right but apt-get upgrade won't check for upgrades against that deb file or will it? [20:04] simon_, depends shoudl work now [20:04] bobs your uncle is a british phrase [20:05] wolfric: apt will always prefer the newest version available to it. If the version you compile and install is newer then what is available it will continue to use it but it won't offer updates on that version if they are not in the repos. [20:06] I don't see any message for the partition missing [20:06] wolfric: basically it boils down to this. The latest version is not always the best version. unless you absolutely need a feature in a newer version of an app not in the repos I suggest you stick to what is available in the repos. [20:07] I can't compile ffox because of this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Cross_Compile_Mozilla_for_Mingw32#Why_the_build_system_not_take_my_i686-mingw32-gcc_as_a_cross-compiler.3f [20:07] if some other partition on fstab fails to mount, the others will be ignored? [20:07] nunojpg, can you manually mount the partition? [20:07] Hi! I'm looking for an helping channel about linux! this channel is not about that, isn't it? [20:07] nuno: no [20:07] nico_: ask the question [20:07] how do I disable wine from running files from the terminal?

[20:08] I want to install on a web sever on linux, programs under my session [20:08] pepee: what are you trying to accomplish.. ? [20:08] Doinkle: mount: /dev/cciss/c0d0p4 already mounted or /ui busy [20:08] ah ok, I'll try that becaux it's not about ubuntu! [20:09] thekid, I don't want exe files to be run from the terminal [20:09] /ui exists, and c0d0p4 doens't show on df(1) [20:10] thekid, at least, not directly, i.e., not without writing "wine " before the name of the exe [20:10] nuno: shure its not already mounted? [20:10] Do you have problems mounting and remounting the SSD card under Ubuntu Linux ? [20:11] Hi! Someone knows why aMSN doesn't show me the offline msgs?

I will try it then :D [20:20] Doinkle, thanks :D [20:20] http://performous.org/other <-- has more to look at [20:20] all panels resetted but still when i click the show desktop, all windows minimize insteed of default value [20:20] http://performous.org/others <-- has more to look at [20:21] playdeb.net or getdeb.net is a good page to find apps or games? [20:22] alz3abi: what tutorial were you following? === Look is now known as Guest73933 [20:24] milamber : not sure about that some thing like that (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/minimize-all-windows-clicking-docky-anchor-icon/) i cant remember if it from omgubuntu or webupd8 [20:24] I've got a Chromium question. My Ubuntu-variant distro installs Chromium 8.0.x by default. When I run it, it slows down over time b/c of memory leakage. Do I need to run Chrome instead? I'd rather be closer to the bleeding edge browser-wise, but not so close that the speed isn't practical. [20:25] wyclif: this channel is only for ubuntu, not for variants if they are not official supported [20:26] gobbe: Knew someone would say that, but this is an ubuntu problem: it's Chromium for ubuntu after all. [20:26] If the installed version doesn't work try another one. [20:26] gobbe: not only that, but the channel for it is dead. No point in asking there. [20:26] Or you can always restart the client. [20:26] wyclif: well. still. if you are running variant its not same thing [20:26] alz3abi: you should be able to open gconf-editor from the terminal and uncheck the options you set [20:26] wyclif, bleeding edge = risk. so if it is bad managing memory thats the cost of running something that new :/ [20:27] gobbe: As far as Chromium knows, it's Ubuntu. Only difference between what I have and straight Ubuntu is the desktop. [20:28] milamber: can you please guide me how to reset the show desktop button ? [20:28] Doinkle: thanks. [20:28] wyclif: but answer to your question, in your case chrome might be better [20:29] gobbe: got it. Thanks. Probably need Chrome. [20:32] Try good world of warcrafthttp://bestwow.no-ip.biz [20:33] !list [20:33] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:33] problem still same, thanks for trying help [20:33] alz3abi: just right click on the bottom bar click add to panel find the showdesktop app click it [20:34] alz3abi: ctrl + alt + f1, login, from the terminal: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then ctrl + alt + f7 should reset everything in gnome [20:35] hi [20:35] alz3abi: rm -rf is *very* powerful, understand it before you use it. [20:35] milamber, 'rm -rf / [20:35] lol [20:35] !danger [20:35] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [20:36] milamber, most powerful command is 'rm -rf /' [20:36] rm -rf / doesn't work actually [20:36] minus, really? [20:36] minus, it shouldn't, why on earth would you try to do that ??? [20:36] () [20:36] please stop repeating it though [20:36] The kernel should be blocking that exact line.. [20:36] is ubuntu same as fedora? [20:36] with /* it works [20:36] minus: because thankfully Phong_ didnt give the part about doing it as root [20:36] ok don't try this at home, but it's sudo rm -rf / [20:37] Phong_: rm is patched to not remove / but shell globbing still works [20:37] and I also believe there is code to not allow that [20:37] maco, sorry, exactly ;) [20:37] For those that want to see if something is broken in their settings, please consider using mv to MOVE the folders instead of deleeting them. [20:37] Phong_: which is why what minus said works. also the manpage tells you how to make it allow that removal again, but lets not tell it here [20:37] i'm asking if ubuntu same as fedora [20:37] time to set up a virtual machine, it would seem... [20:37] Phong_: i dont know if that patch is in upstream rm or if its ubuntu-specific [20:38] Phong_: They are both linux but packages built for the respective distros MIGHT not work. [20:38] Phong_: no, ubuntu is not the same as fedora [20:38] Phong_: or do you mean *in general* is ubuntu same? if so, then no. we use a different package manager and are bound to have different software versions and carry different patches [20:38] !info rm [20:38] Package rm does not exist in maverick [20:38] minus: coreutils [20:38] Phong_: if they were the same they would be the same distro, no? [20:38] ;) [20:38] got your point. [20:40] Phong_: the change to not allow / to be rm'd by default does not appear to be a debian/ubuntu-specific patch [20:41] hey, i want to ask- is ecryptfs only for the ~Private folder? or will it encrypt my ~Documents folder aswell? [20:41] I'm using kubuntu and when I mouse to the top-left corner I get an Expose like view of all windows. Which is cool. but I want it to be a different corner. And I can't find out where to configure it. I'm looking under Desktop Effects, but not seeing it... [20:41] anyone here use netbook remix? [20:41] DOH, nevermind, found it.

[20:49] gobbe, i am not able to ping a machine on the network that i was able to earlier (ping manu doesnt work) but ping manu.domain.com does [20:49] oops : should be clonezilla livecd, cp will not do that [20:49] TeslaTony, well, don't really know if that will work... [20:49] just guessing [20:49] ttal2: add a search domain in resolv.conf [20:49] nishttal2: have you changed your network settings? [20:50] gobbe.. i just did a fresh isntall of Ubuntu [20:50] TeslaTony: you want clonezilla or ghost4linux if you really want to do an image backup. They are smart enough to skip the unused blocks. [20:50] btw thank you schnuffle1 its workign now [20:50] nishttal2: what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? === OD is now known as Proger [20:51] generally, using dedicated imaging software is highly recommended over trying to do it by hand with cp or dd unless you have a really good reason to [20:51] nishttal2: you should have there search domain.com [20:51] gobbe.. got it.. will do [20:51] psusi, That sounds like it'd work. Thanks. If it doesn't...I guess ask again?

The ones I've played with, the games looked like they were on a Windows machine (or better), or simply didn't function [20:58] Zoohouse, check the 'ubuntu software center', search for 'fonts' [20:58] at least two utilities look interesting, specimen and font matrix [20:59] brokenda1apoint, thanks, let me try [20:59] Snyper: if you mean compatibility then proprietary os are the way to go no hassle gaming just high hassle everything else [20:59] Yer this is why im stickign with windows atm on my laptop and my new netbook got Ubuntu [20:59] Zoohouse: another option is to use gnome charmap. it shows you all fonts globally and locally installed [21:00] mkdir -p, what does the -p do? === bubby323 is now known as bubby323|porting [21:00] it creates the whole dirtree [21:01] Zoohouse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=666919 [21:01] imagine mkdir -p test/test2, it will work even if test doens't exist [21:02] can anyone help me get x windows going?

[21:19] to anyone [21:19] how do you get rid of a size overflow condition when you've already freed up some space [21:19] SoftarPaul, I repeat , run lsusb in the terminal to see if your card is even recognized [21:19] and still tells you 0 bytes free [21:19] ? [21:20] nishttal2: well, you need to configure server to log more, by default it doesnt log much [21:21] blackxored: In linux space availabel can go below 0 bytes free, but it won't show negative [21:21] gobbe, the server I am trying to connect to hasnt changed [21:21] BluesKaj: It recognize it "C-media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter [21:21] " [21:21] gobbe, my machine has been formatted and ubuntu reinstalled [21:21] what command I can use to found some text in this script? (I know how if in text are spaces, but this is different..) *** show_url('http://mf-gruenenbach.de/assets/multimedia/0601-acdc_-_highway_to_hell-sta.mp3') *** [21:21] gobbe, i have copied my private key back under ~/.ssh folder [21:21] gobbe, what else needs to be done? [21:21] SoftarPaul: try in sound options under output set something with no amplifier [21:21] Dcite, i know but the filesystem is overflowed, I added new space, but still is overflowed, happened before on a external data partition, I want to know how to get rid of the 0 bytes size without reboot [21:22] nishttal2: it must be in right file, authorized keys [21:22] hello [21:22] korsnik: How to? Where can I found output? [21:22] gobbe, authorized keys is on the server ..right? [21:22] nishttal2: yes [21:22] gobbe, so that hasnt been touched [21:23] gobbe, its only my machine that was wiped out [21:23] when i installed ubuntu server on my NAS it formatted one of the RAID partitions for swap without me setting that at all \o/ [21:23] korisnik: I fixed it! Thanks! :D [21:23] nishttal2: your sourcemachines keys change [21:23] nishttal2: if you didnt backup all keys [21:23] no problem, SoftarPaul just relax :) [21:23] SoftarPaul, ok in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD and other used controls are not muted ,by using the "M" key' then turn those controls up to 80% or so [21:24] gobbe, the machine key is in known_hosts [21:24] gobbe, that we changed [21:24] BluesKaj: It's fixed! [21:24] nishttal2: no. source machines key must be in servers authorized keys [21:25] nishttal2, ssh-copy-id user@serverip [21:25] does anyone know if the staging drivers in the 2.6.37 kernel is enabled by default? [21:26] hello, so i was messing around with some things in ubuntu after a fresh install, and completely messed up that partition. so i brought out my ubuntu cd to try and reinstall ubuntu, but when i boot up, the cd isn't the boot device. Now this is my issue: my keyboard does not work inside the bios. I can enter the bios perfectly fine by pressing the del key, but then once I'm inside the bios I cannot make any changes. I can't move [21:27] gobbe, wow.. i thought authorized_keys was for users public keys and known_hosts was for machine keys [21:27] biossettings: what kind of computer are you talking about? [21:27] biossettings, an USB keyboard will not work in your bios, get a PS/2 keyboard to change the bootpriority [21:28] sometimes usb keyboard make trouble. perhaps you a ps2-port keyboard available ? [21:28] biossettings, can you try a different keyboard? [21:28] aye [21:28] GaryD: It's a medion PC, probably around 4 years old [21:28] biossettings: try hitting Esc or F2 or Del or F8, some of those will put devices to boot on screen [21:28] right after you start computer [21:28] 0erHeks, I tried PS/2, doesn't work either :( [21:29] BluesKaj, I tried several usbs, and one PS2. Both work in my windows partition, but not in the bios [21:30] biossettings: i believe to load the boot device screen you need to press F8 during boot. [21:30] i am not sure... [21:30] Okay, I will give that a try. It's just weird that this keyboard malfunctions in the bios when i'm able to get into the bios perfectly fine [21:30] hey, does anyone know why my trash icon is to the left of the desktops icons? [21:30] rumpe1, gobbe : $ssh-copy-id nishttal@manu.... /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found [21:31] biossettings, check to make sure the KBs aren't locked , then f1,f2 or even f9 or f10 will get you in [21:31] nishttal2, ssh-keygen (no passphrase!)... then try again [21:32] rumpe1, on my machine or the server? [21:32] nishttal2, your machine [21:32] BluesKaj, do you mean locked as in Flock? I've tried several times, but once i'm inside the bios, the lights on the keyboard stay static, no matter how many times I push the flock/capslock/numlock keys :S [21:32] rumpe1, this looks like its creating a new private key for me [21:32] nishttal2, you generate a public key for your machine and transfer it to the server via ssh-copy-id === fccf is now known as GeekSquid [21:32] nishttal2, yes... because you dont have one yet [21:33] nishttal2, "no identities found"! [21:33] rumpe1, i have a identity file [21:33] in ~/.ssh [21:33] nishttal2, whats the filename? [21:33] biossettings, what about the arrow keys , can you navigate? [21:33] rumpe1, identity [21:34] rumpe1, same file I have used for years [21:34] rumpe1, and i use this to connect to atleast 10 servers [21:34] rumpe1, it stopped working after I formated and reinstalled ubuntu on my machine [21:35] my trash icon has moved to the left of the desktops icons after changing the screen resolution, any idea how to fix it? [21:35] im trying to do a partition but getting an error, can anybody help me? === Micdawg|work is now known as TheBearJew === TheBearJew is now known as Micdawg|work [21:36] BluesKaj, sorry for the slow reply. No I cannot navigate. It's almost like the keyboard is disabled upon entering the bios. === Micdawg|work is now known as TheBearyAwesomeJ [21:37] gobbe, rumpe1 : guess what if I do "ssh -i identiy manu" it works [21:37] when i do search devices in gparted the one i want to partition has a "warning" sing [21:37] biossettings,are you trying to change the boot sequence or some such ? [21:37] nishttal2, has this file the correct permissions? === TheBearyAwesomeJ is now known as BearyAwesomeJew [21:37] nishttal2, fascinating :) [21:37] rumpe1, yes 600 [21:38] rumpe1, but I never had to use -i switch before [21:39] rumpe1, do you know why this could be happening [21:39] rumpe1, i mean why its expecting "id_rsa" and not taking "identiy"? is there a configuration somewhere? [21:40] While trying to run ./configure, i get "libX11 not found" - even though it is... what can i do? [21:40] BluesKaj: Yes, simply trying to boot off of a cd rather than floppy/hd [21:41] mman: what are you trying to do [21:41] nishttal2, test it with a link to the identity-file [21:41] mman: ? [21:41] bencahill, tryingo to do a resize of a disk [21:41] bencahill, in that partition windows is installed, i want to resize it and install ubuntu [21:42] mman: I would suggest backing up important data before resizing [21:42] bencahill, yup, done already ;) [21:42] mman: don't know about the warning sign, can you click on it? [21:42] rumpe1, yea the link worked [21:42] bencahill, it apperas an error [21:42] something with bitmap [21:43] nishttal2, super :) [21:43] mman: you need to boot into windows and run chkdsk /f twice to make the drive clean so ntfs-3g can access it, kinda a safety feature in linux [21:43] how would one send the contents of ifconfig to a certain IP address periodically?

I connected a new HD monitor, and now my wireless card doesn't work? No wireless networks show up at all. Why??? [23:08] botcity: I used ati in sudo, I decreased the resolution of the bigger screen, and then I changed it after boot [23:08] thats weird tho [23:09] BlackDalek: if you disconnect do you get wireless back? [23:09] hello [23:09] I love irssi [23:09] :D [23:09] yigal: same here, using now. [23:09] yigal: I have a question for you though. [23:09] firmware: go for it [23:10] yigal: I was going through manual/doc - and I'm trying to figure out how to bring up new channel instances...? [23:10] frankbro: hmm : well at least its working for you ... [23:10] yigal: do I have to bring up another terminal to do so? just another instance of irssi to do so? [23:10] firmware: no [23:11] happy new year to ubuntu people [23:11] firmware: just "/j #some-other-channel" [23:11] yigal: I did / join channel1,channel2,channel3,channel4 but only brings up one of em [23:11] firmware: or leave off the # [23:11] lemme try [23:11] firmware: I'm not sure if you can automate quite like that [23:11] let me see [23:11] yigal: hmm now i got a error whil mounting /media/cdrom and it hangs on boot where I can press S to skipp or M to manualy fix [23:11] yigal: wrong! [23:12] firmware: that works [23:12] yigal: if I do join, it takes me to the channel. My question was having multiple channels opened... [23:12] hey folks. So for a sata drive, I use sdparm right? [23:12] yigal: and disconnects me from current [23:12] firmware: do you mean showing multiple windows? [23:13] try it [23:13] yigal: yes, joining multiple channels and having multiple windows [23:13] es-web: hmm, I'm sorry es-web [23:13] es-web: I'm not sure [23:13] firmware: these are different [23:13] yigal: in this case, would I have to fire up multiple irssi instances to join multiple channels? [23:13] hi all. does anyone have any ideas how i can time my computer to play music to wake me up? [23:13] firmware: no [23:13] what is about the max data transfer rate i can expcect from a gigabit lan connection and rsync over ssh? [23:13] yigal.. please wait, I am getting the old monitor connected again... [23:14] wasutton3: I found a good tool that can measure throughout for testing purposes. [23:14] firmware: I've joined ~6 channels but I have only one window at a time [23:14] BlackDalek: of course [23:14] yigal: how do you shift through windows? [23:14] the bottom tells me if there's any action on a particular channel [23:14] firmware: try ESC+# for the channel [23:14] wensleydale: use cron with the media player of your choice [23:15] firmware: what is the tool called [23:15] firmware: ware type ESC and then hit a channel type a number, if my description was confusing [23:15] yigal: that did the trick! [23:15] firmware: excellent, cheers [23:15] Buen año a todos, como agrego en ubuntu 10.10 en el xorg que tengo un monitor LCD Samsung p2350 [23:15] yigal, ok.. the wireless card still didn't work when I put the old monitor back.. The new monitor appears to have killed it some how.... [23:16] gsp2009: thank you. i will look into how to use cron === Tommy is now known as Lantchips [23:16] BlackDalek: try 'depmod -a' and then 'sudo shutdown -r now' [23:16] yigal, ok [23:16] Good 2011, input to xorg lcd samsung p2350 [23:17] How do I stop ubuntu server from putting my monitor to sleep [23:17] wensleydale: no probs. or this too... http://seehuhn.de/pages/sanduhr [23:17] jetlinkin: you're using a tty? [23:17] shrinking a lvm is a pain in the ### [23:17] Nanoha: just relax [23:17] Nanoha: :D [23:17] yigal: yes [23:17] jetlinkin: ok === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [23:18] Nanoha: are you able to do it? [23:18] gsp2009: thank you. thats also great! :-) [23:18] Nanoha: once you master it, it's very easy === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest16394 [23:18] Nanoha: of course this is a very general statement but it's true of LVM [23:19] good bye all! [23:19] Halo [23:19] jetlinkin: first you need to use setterm [23:19] jetlinkin: the command [23:19] yigal, depmod -a gives "permission denied" [23:19] BlackDalek: sorry, it must be run sudo [23:20] BlackDalek: it will attempt to rescan you're hardware and apply the modules necessary for them [23:20] hi people [23:20] I just hope I didn't corrupt my drives [23:20] Nanoha: even if you did that's what fschk is for [23:21] i have a user that i need to give permission to write in the www-data directory. how would i allow a regular user to have all access to user www-data stuff? [23:21] awesome people join ##internet [23:21] yigal: then use powersave off? [23:21] skrite, put the user in the same group as the dir's chgrp [23:22] hey how do I check the last ip for the ssh login? [23:22] yigal, did not work - wireless card still dead [23:23] hello, ive installed conky thru synaptic package manager, how do i enable it ? [23:23] Blackdalek, what kinda card? [23:23] rewt, you mean the gpasswd -a user desired_user ? [23:24] Quick question...I tried to install something a few days ago and it failed, so I left the terminal but now every time I install other things I think it's trying to continue installing that one...how do you cancel installations of a certain package? [23:24] desired_group [23:24] eremyja, can't remember.. I will find out... [23:24] but yeah [23:24] Hi everyone! Am I the only one having issues with 10.10 and wireless internet connections randomly cutting off? [23:25] is there a special chanel for ubunyu netbook? [23:25] hey guys i have a question [23:25] im re partitioning a hard disk [23:25] eremyja, ralink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus Mini-PCI (rev 01) [23:25] Kingpoke: mine does that too, but I've had that on other versions as well...don't think it's version/OS specific. But I'm not an expert. [23:26] but cfdisk cant read the hard disk sfdisk says cant red and write to it and the parting tool returns an error [23:26] disappearedng_: the last command will show you ssh logins however if your machine is compromised its output may not (probably will not be) accurate [23:26] what options do i have [23:26] disappearedng_: man last [23:27] From my research it might have something to do with using wireless N routers. Do you have a router with N capability? [23:28] rewt: i have done that, chown www-data /var/www and gpasswd -a user www-data logout/in and still cannot write to the folder [23:28] yigal, did not work - wireless card still dead. Card is ralink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus Mini-PCI (rev 01) [23:28] disappearedng_: last -i to get numeric IP address information [23:28] Heh, linux is getting pretty easy :) if a noob manages to compile the sources for gimp 2.7 . :) And that's a good thing! [23:28] skrite, did you chown or chgrp the dir? [23:29] Blackdalek, I've never used a ralink... I'll have to look it up brb [23:29] does anyone know why the PS3 eye camera flickers when recording using cheese? or infact, trying to record anything. [23:29] hey guys [23:29] why cant i format or repart my hard disk? [23:29] Kingpoke: yep, I've got an N [23:29] Trying to configure pam ldap on Ubuntu, I am unable to find system-auth in pam.d directory. Usually thats the way I configure on CentOS. Any help where can I find it (equivalent)? [23:30] i get ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sfdisk /dev/sda /dev/sda: Permission denied sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sda read-write [23:30] msd18: s it mounted? [23:30] ummm idk i forgot the mount command [23:31] umount [23:31] umount /dev/sda [23:31] umount: /dev/sda is not mounted (according to mtab) [23:31] Nanoha don't u need a location to mount it to? [23:31] ossis: AHA! That helps with finding a solution... There has to be a way to disable N and leave G permanently, Thanks! [23:31] is the system in a readonly status? [23:31] its a bootable cd [23:31] I understand intrepid is sundowned but can someone give me a line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list from which I can apt-get install postfix ? [23:31] umount , un mount [23:31] im trying to part the hard disk [23:31] and i cant [23:32] I tried using lucid line, and it apt-get installs okay, but when it's all done postfix isn't running and /etc/init.d/postfix start doesn't start it [23:32] are you using a live cd? [23:32] Kingpoke: haha, welcome...I'd ask you to let me know if you find something out :P but I'm not staying on here long === OerHeks is now known as Oer [23:32] ya [23:32] install from sourced also didn't work ootb. [23:32] Nanoha oops! :P [23:32] or basically any help gettin to a sendmail command on my intrepid box is appreciated [23:32] you should just be able to follow the install and use gparted to do it [23:33] wish i could upgrade to lucid but legacy...... [23:33] gparted says no avail devices [23:33] I'll be back in 2 minutes if youre still around ill link what I found. [23:33] the startup install sees nothing [23:33] * Nanoha hates the idea of upgrading [23:33] but the disk util sees it [23:33] but cant format it [23:33] So, does anyone know how to cancel installations? It seems to be trying an installation again for something that failed a few days ago every time I try to install other things... [23:33] * Nanoha is suffering with a down server because of upgrading. LOL [23:33] Nanoha +1 [23:34] nanoha would i have 2 mount sda to format it? [23:34] ossis: I'm not 100% sure, but would dpkg --configure -a maybe fix that? [23:34] msd18, you can't mount what isn't formatted - impossible [23:35] Ossis, just a sec, trying to remember how I ff it [23:35] msd18, no, usually being able to format means having it unmounted [23:35] I don't think it can be mounted if you're going to format it...but I'm not sure [23:35] thats my point so why cant i format it [23:35] how do i tell exactly what driver is running a usb device ? [23:35] can someone help me configure alsa for 5.1. i try the sound test and i only hear front left and right. i don't use pulse audio or gnome [23:35] it says permission denied [23:35] msd18, use sudo [23:35] i did [23:35] I know there is a command I think that tells you the system state write/readonly? [23:36] sudo sfdisk works [23:36] Nanoha: could that command result in anything bad if I try it? I don't know what it means. === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck [23:36] sorry anyone I was helping I'm a wandering Jew so my internet connection isn't always there [23:36] yigal, Wandering from where ?

[23:40] dwarder: Though you can use SELinux on Ubuntu. [23:40] all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them and ctrl alt l is not working [23:40] firmware: you have to use page up, page down Home END [23:40] Ossis or 'rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/* [23:40] Quantum_Ion: dont you want to go, and stuff yourself... elsewhere? [23:40] yigal: Thanks! [23:40] firmware: good [23:40] ossis: I disabled mine lets see if it helps me (fingers crossed) [23:40] too late [23:41] ...

[23:41] all my keyboard shortcuts are not showing and i did not touch them and ctrl alt l is not working [23:41] since my gfx cant handle it [23:41] in linux [23:41] how do i get the live usb version of ubuntu? [23:41] home_: and you want us to cry for you? [23:42] yigal: ouch [23:42] eremyja: it still says "1 not fully installed or removed" when I try to install anything else. [23:42] yigal, will output of iwconfig help at all? [23:42] would it hurt anything if i change an extended partition to a primary my stupid linux install is under an extended dunno why [23:42] dr4c4n: :D [23:42] msd18: type 83 [23:42] yigal: I am still not sure, how the hell I hit 80 celsius >.> [23:42] BlackDalek: yes, but do an "sudo ifconfig -a" and tell me what devices you have [23:42] Ossis did u run both commands? And they succeded? [23:43] home_: that's extreme [23:43] Kingpoke: that command didn't seem to do anything at all? [23:43] ok [23:43] !usb [23:43] >.> [23:43] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:43] home_: but not that bad [23:43] yigal: Yes, from running runescape once.. and now it almost happened to Runes of magic also.. via wine.. there needs to be more native linux games :/ [23:44] home_: can't aruge there ;D [23:44] okay, so I can't issue a resize2fs command without executing a e2fsck command first, which errors out. Grrr! [23:44] ossis: It should return either a 1 or 0 which essentially means ipv6 is on or off [23:44] yigal: With RoM it could go over 80 celsius [23:44] Blackdalek, what card do u have again? [23:44] home_: I have very simple machines nothing that could play any serious game :D [23:45] I'm having some problems changing keyboard layout in Maverick. When I add a new layout to the list, it shows up in the list of the settings window, but not in the applet on the panel, and I can't change to it. Anybody encountered that problem? [23:45] home_: do you have a question? [23:45] eremyja: the second command doesn't seem to do anything? [23:45] yigal: Its related to dual booting win 7, with a prexisting ubuntu 10.10 installation [23:45] Kingpoke: ah, it gave a 0 [23:45] yigal, it's not like I can copy and paste from the sick computer to this laptop, but ifconfig shows a eth0 and lo, and the wireless comes under wlan2. What info from that do you need? eremyja it is a Ralink RT2500 PCI card. [23:45] yigal: If I do install windows, I want to make sure I can still dual boot into my ubuntu [23:46] home_: what you will most likely have to do is install Windows, then boot from CD/DVD of Ubuntu and install grub [23:46] home_: installing grub is what you need to dual boot [23:47] ah :) [23:47] that fixes it >.> [23:47] home_: good [23:47] hey nanoha [23:47] ubuntu@ubuntu:/sbin$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda Unable to read /dev/sda [23:47] what am i doing wrong [23:47] yigal, have any ideas how can i get grub menu out after i first installed ubu then windoes [23:47] does anyone know of an IRC client for Ubuntu that can speak relevant chat out loud? [23:47] Ossis, run it again but change the rm -rf with dir [23:48] Am3: absolutely you need to boot from the DVD/CD you used to install Ubuntu [23:48] my unbutu netbook instalation is taking up 3.5 gigs ( think the only extra stuff I have is filezilla and VLC media player) is this normal? If not is there a way to sort installed packages by size in the package manager? [23:48] ctrl alt l does not work [23:48] zeleftikam: if you find one, please let me know! that sounds NEAT [23:49] yigal: Loaded runes of magic, but no EULA..... or any windows [23:49] LOL the first time I ran any graphical game in ubuntu [23:49] eremyja__: when I change it to dir it says root@Ossis:/home/ossis# dir /var/cache/apt/archives/ [23:49] dir: cannot access /var/cache/apt/archives/: No such file or directory [23:49] Am3: I searched for it and this is what I got https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [23:49] ctrl alt l does not work [23:49] looks reasonable [23:49] it hits insane temps and then stays at idle.. ... wow [23:49] why cant i work with my sda drive [23:50] home_: ya, I understand, I don't play games other than chess and go but I wanted to use some optical character recognition apps. in Linux and that was impossible [23:50] ossis: Great now you want to edit a file called sysctl.conf in term type sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf [23:50] Hey I have a quick question about how DNS works, anyone know a little something about servers and how the web is set up? [23:50] home_: sometimes Windows has what is required [23:50] yigal: yes, makes me feel ashamed and little :/ [23:50] kshawkeye1: just ask the actual question [23:50] kshawkeye1: #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps ? :) and ask!! [23:51] yigal: But in time, linux will get better [23:51] home_: yes [23:51] Kingpoke: what do I want to edit in here? [23:51] home_: it is [23:51] yigal: some of the best ICR tools run on Linux...

[23:51] ICR [23:51] yigal: The temps to play the games are stable now.. wow I am impressed [23:51] grrr wtf i need help with my dam hard disk [23:52] Is there any way to set up a DNS server that handles something like "kshawkeye.com" or something similar, or would I need to pay something like godaddy because they register it with some sort of list that I cant access? Whats the real use of BIND? [23:52] its getting fuckin annoying [23:52] linxeh: intelligent character recog.? [23:52] Ossis, which version u using? [23:52] linxeh: absolutely [23:52] hi [23:52] ohayo [23:52] yigal: yes, or Image Character Recognition (depending on who you speak to) [23:52] im new to linux, ive been looking around for how to get on firefox 4's current beta [23:52] -.- [23:52] all the guides seem to be for minefield [23:52] Anyone here play runes of magic?

Abby Finereader and ScanSoft both ran well on unix (better than on windows in the case of Abby) and were about the best available. [23:54] u try to part a disk with nothing but errors [23:54] yigal: have you tried abby ? [23:54] and no help from anyone [23:54] msd18: patience, young padawan [23:54] eremyja: 10.10 maverick [23:54] ull cuss as well [23:54] err abbyy even [23:54] is there a wine channel I can join [23:54] eremyja__: 10.10 maverick [23:54] linxeh: yes but abby via command line is not so easy [23:54] if anything is family-friendly, I'd say it's fucking [23:54] yigal: we used the SDK [23:54] dude its a simple matter why cant i part a hard disk thats unmounted [23:54] linxeh: that's what I got my hands on for Linux [23:55] linxeh: it was almost there [23:55] ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda Unable to read /dev/sda [23:55] home_: I think its #winehq [23:55] =( [23:55] Is there any way to set up a DNS server that handles something like "kshawkeye.com" or something similar, or would I need to pay something like godaddy because they register it with some sort of list that I cant access? Whats the real use of BIND? [23:55] anyone? [23:55] anyone know why fdisk cant read the hard disk?
