[00:00] so i can install ubuntu on it [00:00] 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? [00:00] msd18, so gparted is not seeing the HD from a live cd? [00:00] no it wont but the disk util sees it [00:01] but disk util returns an error when i format it [00:02] Hello, which File Systems are supported with Ubuntu? Is there a website where i can read about it? [00:02] msd18, take a screen shot of gparted and imagebin it and post the link.http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [00:02] Dimitree: what file system do you need supported? [00:03] nit-wit when i use the disk util the error i get is Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_create_partition_table: device_file=/dev/sda, scheme=0 ped_device_get() failed [00:03] msd18: probably a bad disk or the connection has probelsm, have you tried a diffrent port on the motherboard, a diffrent cable, or even just making sure the connections are snug? [00:03] yigal JFS for example? [00:03] msd18, okay [00:03] Dimitree: yes [00:03] its a laptop there is no other port [00:03] kshawkeye1: you need to get a registrar to add your DNS server IPs to the domain so it shows in whois etc. BIND is used (or a simialr DNS tool) by other DNS servers to resolve dns names in your domain to ips. [00:03] installing/configuring mythbuntu - failing to find channels. any help appreicated? [00:03] Dimitree: for instance for Btrfs one has to recompile [00:03] Dimitree: this is the same system Meego uses [00:04] yigal can i install it with the default desktop installer or do i have to manually create ext partitions and so on? [00:04] kshawkeye1: essentially, the TLD domain servers delegate to servers defined for each domain, which may in turn delegate to other servers. eventually a server is authoratitive for that domain or subdomain and will return IP addresses for queries on hosts in that domain. [00:05] linxeh: I'm very interested in I/OCR so if you have some interesting links for open source I/OCR I think in general I would appreciate them [00:05] yigal: well, tesseract is ok, but doesnt perform as well as the cutting edge commercial options. I'm afraid I have no links for you - the stuff I did isnt online === makosblade is now known as _makosblade_ [00:05] does anybody know if I can run resize2fs without running e2fsck first? [00:06] yigal: however, mono images (after processing/ thresholding, depeppering/noise reduction algorithms, deskewing) work best in most engines, and at 200dpi [00:06] linxeh: so how does something like godaddy make the DNS public? Because they have access to the whois list somehow? There is no way I can get a dns server that I want for free other than dyndns or something similar? I can't host it myself? [00:06] our belief was that most of the engines threshold incoming images if you give greyscale, so if you can do a better job you might as well [00:06] yigal i guess my question is, can i select the FS from the installer, click the "use entire disk" and be done with it? [00:06] kshawkeye1: they provide information to NIC or whoever for that domain [00:07] nitwit imma imgbucket the ss [00:08] is there a better chanel to get support for ubuntu netbook? [00:08] kshawkeye1: http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/general/how-dns-works.jspx - google has many such links (the wikipedia article is good too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System) [00:08] Dimitree: I'm sorry I'm not sure [00:09] linxeh: yes exactly [00:09] linxeh: So there is no way to host a domain name for free from home and have it registered with the web? I have a ubuntu server all set up, and I'm using dyndns for my domain name, is that the best I can do for free? [00:09] linxeh: that is the problem [00:09] bbl [00:09] kshawkeye1: you have to have the whois for the dns pointing at your home IP address [00:10] kshawkeye1: or use dyndns, or setup your own dyndns type system on another internet connected host that defers to your home connection [00:10] linxeh: I've built the most recent teseract it's not bad [00:10] linxeh: just not great, and getting it where it needs to be, well that would take some time [00:10] kshawkeye1: you probably dont want to be hosting things on your home connection though - and with many ISPs you will be in breach of contract if you do === fccf is now known as GeekSquid === root is now known as Guest33627 [00:11] hello peeps [00:11] i was wondering [00:11] yigal, I don't know why this worked, but I opened the case, pulled out the wireless card. Then booted the computer without it, then shut it down. Then I replaced the wireless card and booted up again and it started working again. [00:11] yigal: I havent really used tesseract, can you provide it with dictionaries ? [00:11] is it possible to kill a process after eg. a minute of execution? [00:11] BlackDalek: good to hear [00:11] linxeh: yes [00:12] in the form of "runoneminute ./transferlogs", and it would kill the process transferlogs after 1 minute, in case it didn't end in time [00:12] have you given it a biology biased dictionary ? [00:12] yigal, now I will attempt to connect the new monitor and see if the wireless card goes dead again...

YAY! Im sorry but i havent used windows in over 6 years so i havent had that problem [01:01] wyt: You can also install clam-av and run a virus scan in those folders!

[01:02] Oh... did i mention that i installed the 10.10 beta with the same USB stick and it worked? [01:03] cyberjunk502: when mounted that is the link to the windows partition. there is a way to eliminate that from happening but will also get rid of icons for usb sticks etc.. unfortunately someone else will have to guide you on how to eliminate it.

[01:50] t4nkD: it's quite possible that with acpi=off it's just overheating, it's especially a bad idea on notebooks [01:51] It's a tower, overheating doesn't *seem* to be the issue [01:51] Though I haven't gone so far as to reapply thermal paste, the fan appears to be working in a usual manner [01:52] Armageddon, This is too dense for me. I would like to learn more, everything seems too simple or too difficult. -- iptables is a user space application program that allows a system administrator to configure the tables provided by the Linux kernel firewall (implemented as different Netfilter modules) and the chains and rules it stores.

[02:01] i'll check that out [02:01] JosephUbuntu: if you edit /etc/default/grub, make sure to run sudo-update grub [02:01] sacarlson: yeah I had thought about that but had the feeling if it was that serious I wouldn't get to the boot select screens or get thru kernel load [02:01] josep: have a look at /etc/inittab [02:01] JosephUbuntu: that's a good question , really hard to do, you have to paste a bunch of logs to pastebin.ca or something... not that simple to debug over irc [02:01] should i post grub or something else? [02:02] t4nkD: ya most my power supply failures never got that far [02:02] sacarlson: same [02:02] i have the output for grub [02:02] er [02:02] the file thingy [02:02] http://pastebin.com/LQq7msFR [02:02] that's grub [02:03] joey_1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [02:03] i can't find /etc/inittab [02:03] there's no such file [02:03] joseph: check the line id:2:initdefault: [02:03] thanks itaylor! [02:03] sacarlson: Also, wierdly it just powers off -- it doesn't hang or reboot [02:03] JosephUbuntu: /etc/inittab doesn't exist in Ubuntu... [02:03] anyone else having problems in 10.10 connectin to samba server from win 7 [02:03] t4nkD: if you set it to reboot it will [02:03] JosephUbunutu: I'm not an expert, but the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT seems to have a lot of extra options to it, possibly that could be related to the problem? [02:03] schnuffle: in what file? [02:04] t4nkD: you can disable it in the bios [02:04] level should be 3 [02:04] is there any way to share a dvd-rom drive similarly to win7/os x? [02:04] /etc/inittab [02:04] sacarlson: yeah, maybe I can get some insight from messing with BIOS resets [02:04] how do i manage the max volume that ubuntu is allowed to go [02:04] schnuffle, there is no such file [02:04] JosephUbuntu: ie mine is only GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" do you have some sort of special video configuration? [02:04] i had messed around with plymouth [02:04] it might be because of that [02:04] joey_1 you need to add universe repository and dowload the sun6 jdk and jre [02:05] JosephUbuntu: addressing your security concerns: part of the idea of recovery mode (Single User Mode) is to be able to boot right into root to fix things when they break, so if it's going into recovery mode, my understanding is that it's perfectly normal to not have to enter the root password. (I'm I'm wrong, someone please feel free to correct me) [02:05] hey, when ubuntu desktop 10.10 is loading, is there anyway I can see what is going on? [02:05] schnuffle1: /etc/inittab doesn't exist in Ubuntu... [02:05] ah, thanks [02:05] hmm [02:05] should i try changing the option to quiet splash? [02:06] JosephUbuntu: try setting it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" at first, see if you can boot without the splash screen [02:06] JosephUbuntu, JosephUbuntu: it is completly normal to not have to enter a password in recovery mode [02:06] joey_1: no that is correct there is no login to root on single user [02:06] JosephUbuntu: then try quiet splash [02:06] okay [02:06] whoa [02:06] is it normal that grub is owned by me? [02:06] and not root? [02:06] anyone know of a nas that works simmilar to the drobo, but it open source / free [02:07] joey_1 this will show you how to configure eclipse https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE [02:07] JosephUbuntu: no, don't think that's normal. you can probably edit it without root, but it should stop you when you try to save it... [02:07] i was just able to save it without anything [02:07] mrroth: ifolder from novell [02:07] and permissions says that it is owned by me [02:07] Thanks again itaylor! I'll see if that does it... [02:08] schnuffle1 were the link [02:08] JosephUbuntu: that's odd for a file in /etc... unless you're logged in as root because it was booting into recovery mode? just a guess [02:08] no, the other files in /etc/default are owned by root [02:08] i checked pulseaudio, and it is owned by root === someone is now known as Guest36057 [02:09] mrroth: http://ifolder.novell.com/ [02:09] so that like drobo [02:09] well, i'll try restarting with the new config [02:09] cool [02:09] see ya in a bit [02:09] oh k [02:09] whenever i try to download something in the software center it gets about half way then stops and tells me to check my internet connection...help? [02:10] okay, I need some serious help here. I've got a server with a 2TB file system, via LVM, looks like I've mucked everything up to the point to where ubuntu-desktop won't boot off the live cd (can not mount /dev/loop0) I guess I need to split apart and delete the lvm, but I can't find anyway to do that, only deleteing the logical volumes. [02:10] wyt and did you check your internet connection? [02:10] wyt: is it wifi? [02:10] lol yes its fine [02:10] yes im on wifi [02:10] i want to change the startup services that happen before i log in, does anybody know a program or configuration file i can use to change stuff [02:11] I'm of the 'is it plugged in" school. lol someone else will have to handle this. I suppose you could be dropping and reconnecting. [02:11] wyt: wifi must be flaky [02:11] its not the internet, the problem occurs at the same point every time [02:11] and i using irc and it doesn show any probs witht the internet [02:11] the startup applications app is useless for what i am trying to do [02:11] wyt: try change repository mirror site then [02:11] no idea what that means [02:12] oh. wyt, perhaps there is 1. a torrent 2. another site. BTW I never have success with Synaptic. I only use terminal. [02:12] wyt: synaptic repostitory [02:12] Nanoha: Did you ever have a working system? [02:12] sacarlson, how do you change to a mirror? [02:12] yes, yesterday before I upgraded to 10.10 [02:12] wyt a repository is where the software comes from, and the mirror is the server that sends it to you [02:13] Nanoha: Ok. What happened when you tried to boot after upgrading to 10.10? [02:13] i dont have ssh access in remote server ... now can i use sshfs / === randy is now known as Guest19678 [02:13] wyt: synaptic>settings>repository>download from>pick anther site [02:13] the first time, when the gui came back up, all I had was a black screen with a mouse cursor. ... [02:13] when i try to do it in terminal it says failed to fetch stuff so it doesnt work [02:13] oh wait [02:13] after i changed that thing in grub [02:13] was i supposed to run update-grub? [02:13] after that, I loaded up the tty and ran the termainal command to try to upgrade, that made thigns worse [02:13] aaaaaaaa [02:14] to the point of my hostname process not working [02:14] so that's why it booted badly [02:14] tripelb: each repository site is a mirror copy of ubuntu [02:14] earlier tonight I tried to install a fresh copy of 10.10, but I think the LVM I had got corrupted or something [02:14] JosephUbuntu: yes, you have to run update-grub for changes to take effect... [02:14] thanks [02:14] i'll try that [02:14] I just want to start completely over, fresh from scratch [02:14] hi [02:15] I've already lost all the data I had on the server (not happy) [02:15] Jordan_U, where is the startup and shutdown config file(s) [02:15] Nanoha: I wouldn't assume you've lost all the data quite yet. === tifflor_ is now known as tifflor [02:16] I tried to remove the LVM, deleted the logical partitions. I'm pretty sure it's all gone [02:16] Nanoha: Why did you do that? [02:17] because the system refused to install on the partition I had, said that I needed a root partition [02:17] I am having a horrible time setting up BIND. I would like to set up my server so that it does DNS lookups for my LAN. I would also like to be able to use it to define hostnames for the LAN. I would like to be able to setup something like EXAMPLE pointing to 192.168.1.150 [02:18] Nanoha: That just meant that you hadn't specified which filesystem was supposed to be used as '/'. [02:18] earth: use dnsmasq very easy to setup [02:18] I tried. I tried using /dev/sda1 [02:19] Nanoha: Just to confirm, you're sure you don't want to try recovering any data at this point? [02:19] I would love to, if it's possible, but at this point, I'm not even sure where to begin === TK is now known as Guest3969 [02:19] Anyone have a link to conky for dummys, or well you know what i mean, conky wizard does not seem to make a change to conkyrc, so im not sure what its poing ti.../ TTTThanks in advance [02:19] where are the startup and shutdown config file(s) [02:20] right now all I can do is try the install ubuntu option [02:20] earthmeLon: I have my bind setup that way so that my web site is seen from inside the lan and outside from wan [02:20] bawn: what do you want to do? [02:21] Nanoha: Did you actually create any filesystems after "deleting" the logical partitions containing the physical volumes for LVM? [02:21] How does one add launchers to the unity interface bar on the left? [02:21] Jordan_U: no [02:22] alrighty [02:22] the system boots up fine now [02:22] just no splash [02:22] i keep getting failed to fetch errors when trying to install software...any help? [02:22] but i get to the login fine [02:22] Nanoha: Then you can probably use testdisk to recover the partition table, at which point the LVM should still be completely intact. [02:22] so what do i do to get the splash back? [02:23] Jordan_U: okay, I'll try that [02:23] JosephUbuntu: change the option to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and see if it still boots fine [02:23] got it [02:23] JosephUbuntu: make sure to run sudo update-grub before rebooting [02:23] and thanks for your help [02:23] yep XD [02:23] for sere :) [02:23] *sure [02:23] Jordan_U: um... how do I do that? [02:24] Jordan_U: is it "Check disk for defects" ? [02:24] What's the package I can't think of that provides a sendmail binary? I know several do, but is it postfix? [02:24] can the cli install be run from a regular cd? ( as in getting a minimial install but just using the cd for all it's packages )? [02:24] i've created /etc/init/mytest.conf file but start mytest tells "unkown job name", someone know what i'm missing? [02:24] postfix is a good choice [02:25] schnuffle1: cool, I just need the sendmail tool, do I need the service running? I assume no, but... dunno [02:25] Nanoha: No, the option you want is "Analyse current partition structure and search for lost partitions". [02:26] cschneid: for something VERY simple msmtp has a sendmail compatible interface, just make a link sendmail > msmstp [02:26] Jordan_U: how/where do I find that? Assuming I'm staring at the live cd inital menu [02:26] ducktype: making a note, apt-get already beat you to postfix :) [02:26] naiad: you can us a cd as an added repository if that's what you mean [02:26] cscheid: just to send mailwith the sendmail command, no [02:26] schnuffle1: cool, thank you [02:26] and.. back to work :) [02:27] hi, i have multiple postgresql versions (8.4 and 9.0) installed on ubuntu 10.10. i would like to start only the 9.0 version. [02:27] sacarlson, so still use the mini.iso but once booted put in a regular cd and add it as a repo? or can i do the entire minimial install off say the desktop iso? [02:27] Nanoha: Boot using the option "Try Ubuntu without installing", install testdisk via Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, then open a terminal and run "sudo testdisk". [02:27] yay! it works great! [02:27] thanks for the help [02:27] i'll post the solution on ubuntu forums [02:27] naiad: yes again you would have to add the cd to your repo list [02:27] schnuffle1, i want to edit the startup scripts [02:28] sacarlson, thanks [02:28] Jordan_U: I don't remember seeing that option. I've got the server flavor of 10.10 on a cd [02:28] I'll check again thoguh [02:28] bawn: what is the problem you're trying to solve? [02:28] Nanoha: It's possible to do this from the server CD, but much easier to do it from the Desktop CD. [02:28] bawn: depends if it upstart /etc/init if sysv /etc/init.d [02:29] Jordan_U: I've got: Install Ubuntu server, Install ubuntu enterprise cloud, check disk for defects, test memory, boot form first hard disk and rescue a broken system [02:29] looking at the startup scripts, i see a /usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions file with a get_versions() that returns both 8.4 and 9.0. is there a simple override/switch that i could use? [02:29] I've tried to load the desktop CD, it just hangs and refuses to load after it tries to init loop0 [02:29] about upstart: i've created "/etc/init/mytest.conf" file but "start mytest" tells "unkown job name", someone know what i'm missing? [02:29] naiad: I don't think the minimal install is suported from a desktop iso, but you could after it's installed remove packages down to a minimal install [02:30] hello, i use Kubuntu Hardy Heron and my Laptop display on which i installed the nvidia driver stays dark. Can you help me? [02:30] cat /proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD/brightness says: "levels: 80 13 7 13 20 30 45 60 80 100" and "current: 0" [02:30] but i edited the brightness file and i wrote the value "100" in it, but nothing happens [02:30] I need help installing Ubuntu on CR-48 "google netbook" :( [02:30] ducktype: sudo initctl reload-configuration [02:30] rooty: doesn't it come w/ opensuse? [02:31] i did "sudo /etc/init.d/laptop-mode start" and "sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart" after it [02:31] no [02:31] chrome os [02:31] i keep getting failed to fetch errors when trying to install software...help? [02:31] oh ok [02:31] cschneid: i use msmtp with php sites thath need to send mail from server where i don't want to installa super full featured MTA to just redirect mails to the "master MTA" [02:31] can someone help me? [02:31] ducktype: yeah, I'll note it for later, sounds handy [02:31] wyt: did you change repository yet? [02:31] thanks schnuffle1 [02:31] how can I convert a VIDEO_TS folder to an AVI? [02:31] Roasted: grab handbrake? I think it has a linux copy [02:31] no, i didnt know which one to change it to [02:32] Roasted: ffmpeg? / vlc combination? [02:32] cschneid, mucho thanks. Ive heard of that. [02:32] wyt: try japan [02:32] can someone help me? [02:32] sure enough. I'm not positive it can do avi out, but I think it can [02:32] Roasted: dvdrip is a full-featured gui for turning dvds into avis.... [02:32] Jordan_U: would I use the rescue a broken system, and then dump to a root termanal? [02:32] israfil: have you tried from nvidia-settings? [02:33] wyt: university sites are normaly good [02:33] Loshki, I'm not turning a "DVD" into an avi, unless a DVD = VIDEO_TS. Ijust have a VIDEO_TS I want to host on my web server but I'd rather host it as 1 file (AVI) [02:33] Roasted: FYI - my mac copy of handbrake doesn't have AVI out, just MP4 and MKV [02:33] Nanoha: You can try that, it might fail though since I think that attempts a chroot (which would require your system's root to be mountable). [02:33] schnuffle1: seemd right but still the same errro [02:33] cschneid, yeah, but that's Mac. :P [02:33] Jordan_U: yeah, that's the big problem I'm having. i can't mount anything on the hard drives right now [02:33] :) it's like a very pretty unix for my desktop, then all ubuntu, all the time on the server. [02:34] Roasted: yes, VIDEO_TS is pretty much synonymous with a DVD... [02:34] wyt: it's sometime better to pick one on that's 12 hours time zone appart since they will be sleeping there [02:34] cschneid, pretty maybe. functional? not so sure :P [02:34] Loshki, k, I was not aware of that. Thanks! [02:34] Jordan_U: The only option I really have is to mount no root system, and I don't think that is what I need, right? [02:34] Roasted, what version do you have that can output AVI? [02:34] bp0, what version of what [02:34] dr4c4n: yes, it wors, but i don't know if i can edit it with nvidia-settings so that it looks normally [02:34] handbrake [02:34] Roasted: honestly, I spend most of my dev time inside a virtualbox running ubuntu as well. I do like "polish" that paid software gives you. But yeah, linux is good too. No need for fights :) [02:34] bp0, I don't have it. Downloading it now, but trying DVDRip first. [02:35] ducktype paste ownership and config [02:35] handbrake does not support AVI, afaik [02:35] at all [02:35] israfil: options should be in there to fix it up, u on lappy or desktop? [02:35] cschneid, all it takes is a drag/drop of a theme to restore the lack of polish linux comes with. ;) [02:35] mp4 or theora [02:35] it worked! thank you! [02:35] in mp4 or mkv container [02:35] israfil: i'm on a laptop w/ nvidia screen and usually do all my settings through nvidia settings and the on board brightness controls :) [02:36] Roasted: quite possibly, it's been a while honestly. Quite honestly, most of what I use is open source. Macvim, chrome, etc. Omnifocus is the big one that keeps me attached. [02:36] bp0: agreed. Newest versions of Ubuntu handbrake only produce MP4 or MKV, just like the mac... [02:36] cschneid, gotta love chrome :P [02:36] are any freenode staffers here? I would like to set up a hostmask [02:36] gmm: try on #freenode [02:36] Loshki, have you used DVDRip for this purpose? [02:36] Loshki: thanks [02:37] dr4c4n: i have got a laptop (samsung) [02:37] Roasted: I have. Do you need help getting it started? [02:37] Nanoha: Try a different LiveCD, grml is a good option (reliable and contains testdisk on the CD). [02:37] Loshki: acidrip is another one(i happen to realy like it) [02:37] Loshki, a bit... :) [02:37] Loshki, if you have a moment [02:37] israfil: have you tryed using on keyboard functions for brightness? [02:37] Jordan_U: grml? where do i find that? [02:38] hi [02:38] hi [02:38] i want to put Applet similar to places from kde in gnome [02:38] anyone know 1 item to do that? [02:38] Nanoha: http://grml.org/ , and we should continue the discussion in #grml if you decide to use that. [02:38] Roasted: ok, type dvdrip and get to the first screen: select File -> New Project and choose a project name and click 'Create Project'. Choose somewhere with plenty of disk space [02:39] schnuffle1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 Jan 6 02:39 /etc/init/mytest.conf [02:39] Jordan_U: okay, I think I will try that since right now, I'm hitting a brick wall. [02:39] Jordan_U: grml == knoppix but designed for rescue & textmode only? [02:39] Loshki, k, done. [02:40] Roasted: since you don't have an actual dvd disk, choose 'Choose dvd image directory' and navigate to the VIDEO_TS directory [02:40] duck: paste content to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [02:41] schnuffle1: http://pastebin.com/tP7VyWuH [02:41] Loshki, gotcha. should I copy or just encode since its already on my hdd? [02:41] i want to put Applet similar to places from kde in gnome [02:41] anyone know 1 item to do that? [02:41] dr4c4n: i tried it with laptop-mode-tools and it worked a few times. But now it does NOT [02:41] dr4c4n: the keyboard functions do not work with linux [02:41] i have a bland boot screen, the one that is plain text, how can i make it more graphical [02:42] Roasted: in theory you can just encode, but I've found it buggy, so I generally select 'copy data to harddisk' [02:42] how can i delete a ssh known host entry [02:42] Loshki, then what - rip tile tab? read DVD table of contents? [02:42] israfil: well i'm running a lenovo, and they do on mine [02:42] israfil: did you check ur specific laptop model === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [02:43] Roasted: yes, it gets easier from this point on. Read the dvd contents and see which file has the content you want (usually the longest) [02:43] dr4c4n: what should i check? [02:43] mogaj: just delete the files in ~./ssh that match that system or just delete all of them if you have no keys in it [02:43] Loshki, think I got it... its doing something now. thanks bro! [02:44] how do i change my plymouth boot to look good === awolfson is now known as awolfson-afk [02:44] sacarlson : its encrypted [02:44] mogaj: ~./shh is encrypted? then mount it [02:45] Roasted: check the clip & zoom page, click 'grab frame' [02:45] israfil: well first I would check to see if there are specific drivers for those keys on ur keyboard, search something like keyboard drivers Samsung model # or a specific setup like for gentoo for instance for your model number of laptop, just to see what drivers they use, there might be something there, other than that I'd totally save up your xconf, and try to change some of the values in nvidia-settings :) good luck [02:45] mogaj: try just rename the dir ~./ssh to ./ssh2 and try again if you are losing something put it back [02:45] duck: shure the eventtype exists? [02:45] the last kernel has many hibernation issues [02:46] Roasted: oops, forgot to say 'rip selected title' on the table of contents page... [02:46] it is ignoring the fact i was hibernating the system! [02:46] ok [02:46] ok, thanks dr4c4n [02:46] israfil: don't thank me yet, till stuff gets workin ;) [02:46] when i restart it just assume it came from a bad shutdown, then detects the "software suspend data" and wipe it! [02:47] any idea in how to force it to use the data on the swap? [02:47] israfil: feel free to pm me, if there's more issues with that [02:47] schnuffle1: there is an upstart error log to see what goes wrong and why reload-conf skip it? [02:47] Loshki, what's the advantage of hitting grab frame? [02:48] duck: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging [02:48] schnuffle1: :) [02:48] chrome stalled AGAIN using all the memory. I closed all the tabs but one. still froz. does anyone else have that issue? If not then it's something about my computer. Advice? 10.04 [02:48] cablop: is your swap partition big enuf for the memory you now have in your system? it must be as big or biger then mem size to hybernate [02:49] Roasted: grab frame will populate the preview images and allow you to set crop/clip/zoom parameters. Unless you are doing something fancy, you can probably skip direct to the transcode tab [02:50] hello - how do I check a directories permissions? [02:50] hi [02:50] hi icesword [02:51] cgcardona; ls -l [02:51] hello people [02:51] cgcardona: ls -la will list all attributes of all contained files and folders [02:51] ls -l /path/to/dir [02:51] schnuffle1: and dr4c4n thanks it worked [02:51] hey guys, i need help. My touchpad on my toshiba satellite M645 has multitouch, but the mouse keeps flipping out every time two fingers hits it [02:51] did anyone notice the nm-applet 0.83 for natty still has the memory leak problem? [02:52] part [02:53] anyone else having problems in 10.10 connectin to samba server from win 7 [02:53] ? [02:55] Hi, I'm having problems with my Mac keyboard. XKB keeps telling me to file a bug report [02:56] does anyone know how to bind the XF86Next key to one of my mouse buttons? i cannot seem to get it to work even though i think i have it correctly in my .xbindkeysrc === Guest86859 is now known as AndrewMC [02:57] its a synaptics multitouch touchpad, can anyone help? [02:58] can anyone link me to a tutorial on how to save work on a live cd? I put ubuntu on my USB and I would like to be able to save my work (its an 8Gb USB so it should be able to hold enough of what I want) [02:59] racines: not sure of links, but that is called a "persistent" usb [02:59] well [02:59] my friend has a USB with ubuntu live on it [02:59] and he isn't using persistance [02:59] i'm not sure how he did it as I don't have any contact with him right now [02:59] racines: basically you partition the USB. One part for the live OS and 1 part for the data you which you want to be persistant.. I'll search for a good tutorial [03:00] racines, install ubunto to usb and boot to usb from bios. [03:00] Well no no, I don't want persistance [03:00] you just want the usb to be a storage area for ?? [03:00] For some reason the live option takes less time to load [03:00] ah [03:01] well you can make the usb bootable(hence live) and store your data on the usb drive [03:05] wait I don't understand what you mean [03:05] r00t4rd3d: i am actually writing a script right now so as to keep the settings and everything so that once its perfect, i can nuke it and just run the script and it works perfectly [03:05] hi all [03:05] sup [03:05] really [03:05] write me one too [03:05] I have a problem with my mobile broadband, I can't connect even if the modem is recognised [03:05] are you saying if I run ubuntu in live mode, save a file, install a theme, restart the computer, boot back into live mode again, all the work will still be there? [03:05] or will it all be gone? [03:05] acutally if I backed up my home folder I would have just about everything [03:05] racine: it will be stored [03:06] it will be gone [03:06] ..? [03:06] ......one person says it will be stored, another sais it will be gone [03:06] live cd right? [03:06] o_O [03:06] Will Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 have kernel 2.6.37 released yesterday/ [03:06] well live usb but yes [03:06] nvm im hi [03:06] I used Unetbootin to make the live usb [03:06] oh [03:06] normally it will be lost but you can make it persistent [03:06] racines as long as it's on a USB it should save. a boot CD should't be writeable [03:06] How do I list hardware information from the command line? [03:06] exactly [03:07] racine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZQet3HNm_Y [03:07] crohakon: dmidecode [03:07] its on a USB, so if I install a theme the theme should still be there the next time I reboot? [03:07] racine: yes [03:08] it should, especially if its unetboot [03:08] crohakon, apt-get install sysinfo [03:08] then you can look at a gui of it all [03:08] r00t4rd3d, I don't have X. Just command line, but thanks. [03:08] racines: it will be gone [03:08] ahh [03:09] ..........ilyak I just had two people say it will be stored. [03:09] crohakon, lshw [03:09] crohakon, my favs are lspci , lsusb [03:09] it's a USB installed with unetbootin, my themes and saved work will be gone if I reboot? [03:10] dude theres no reason to put linux on a usb unless you need it to store small installationa nd small files [03:10] racine:the normal ubuntu usb install willloose everything after reboot, but you can change that [03:10] racines, it wont disapear if you installed it accordingly.. [03:10] it should, especially if its unetboot [03:10] crohakon, you on u-server ? === root is now known as Guest40999 [03:11] I didn't install it on my USB, I just used unetbootin so it can be a live-usb [03:11] like i said no reason it shouldnt save [03:11] racines: if this is a liveusb created with unetbootin..you will loose all settings [03:11] r00t4rd3d, u-server? [03:11] Guest40999, you know i could trick you into killing your install running irc as root ? [03:11] ubuntu server [03:12] pz rac [03:12] gl [03:12] racines: to be able to save these settings..created a liveusb with persistence,,,using startup disk creator..found on ubuntu [03:12] what [03:12] No because persistance seems to have a longer load time than live [03:12] racines: did you install it on a usb drive and create a persistance file ? [03:12] Also my friend was able to do it without using persistance [03:13] r00t4rd3d, yeah I have an ubuntu server just for messing around with... mostly just trying to learn as much about it as I can... [03:13] I'm not exactly sure how but he boots into live-mode with saved work, not sure how he did it though [03:13] crohakon, you can install X on that you know [03:13] racines: I recommend just doing a standard install rather than trying to setup persistance. [03:13] Jordan_U, i tried to tell him. :/ [03:13] crohakon, also if you type lshw -html > file.html you'll have it all saved into a nice file which you can view with lynx (web browser for command line) [03:14] Install on a USB?? [03:14] racines: Yes. [03:14] I've tried that all ready, it failed to boot after I did it [03:14] made a partition for "/", "/home" and "swap" [03:14] racines: What version of Ubuntu, and what happened when you tried to boot? [03:14] pr0b13, I already did it that.. though, to a text file not html. [03:14] It just wouldn't boot. Blank screen [03:14] But back to the point [03:15] is persistance the only way? [03:15] racines: What version of Ubuntu? [03:15] I have live usb ubuntu 10.10 [03:15] racines: where did u install the grub boot loader when doing the usb install? [03:15] is it possible to do it without persistance? as persistance seems to startup slower for me [03:15] i once tried installing ubuntu to a usb drive. it worked, but was extremely slow reading/writing from the drive. took like 45 minutes just to install it [03:15] crohakon, it's not the same thing, but up to you [03:15] Uh I believe I put it on my "/" partition [03:16] but really, I just want to know how to save data on LIVE mode, not persistance mode, because persistance mode seems to have a longer startup time than live [03:16] racines: Installing a bootloader to a partition doesn't make much sense (it's mostly a windows thing). The BIOS loads what's in the mbr, so that's where the bootloader should be installed (among other reasons). [03:16] racines: in that case u should have selected usb as the boot device..and not your regular hdd... [03:17] racines, you -DO- realize not all usb drives are the same. some are slower than others. possible you are basing your opinions on an older(or low quality) thumb drive? [03:17] Hm [03:17] Well I guess I have to stick with persistance mode [03:17] sandisk extreme ftw ! [03:17] However, unetbootin does not give me any "persistance" option [03:18] I guess I have to use the startup disk creator? or is there another option? [03:18] racines, how big is the thumb [03:18] racine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence [03:18] Doinkle makes a good point about the drives [03:19] its 8Gb [03:19] racines, you could do a full install on one that size just make sure grub is put in its mbr [03:19] hi i need to update my bios using some windows tool off HPs site, is it safe to do it in Virtualbox with XP in ubuntu? [03:20] AgentBlair, that wont work [03:20] AgentBlair: NO! [03:20] haha [03:20] lol [03:20] that's what i thought [03:20] so how can I flash it? [03:20] AgentBlair, there is absolutely no option via DOS or BIOS update? win only??? [03:20] dualboot? [03:20] AgentBlair: do they have no alternative method?.. and why do you need to flash it? [03:20] it's an .exe, HP doesnt have anything else [03:21] so what? .exe works in dos too [03:21] * KM0201 laughs.. [03:21] I need to flash it because there's a problem with the keyboard [03:21] KM0201, now now.. you were new too :P [03:21] DOS works? ok [03:21] Doinkle: logic says if he doesn't have Windows, he likely doesn't have DOS [03:21] it doesn't list it though: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-89406-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2100&product=1842155&sw_lang= [03:21] AgentBlair, and the bios changelog says it fixes your issue?? [03:21] KM0201: FreeDOS is easy to obtain and use though. [03:21] KM0201, www.bootdisk.com is your friend :) [03:22] true enough [03:22] Jordan_U, no need. bootdisk.com has it [03:22] no i guess not [03:22] that's the wrong one let me see [03:22] ah thanks [03:22] np [03:23] hi folks, i've got ubuntu & i installed it on my pc so, how can i delete windows partition? [03:23] the keyboard keeps messing up, it's a software/bios problem [03:23] * Doinkle notices AgentBlair came to #ubuntu for ...windows... support. :P [03:23] but im on ubuntu [03:23] AgentBlair: are you sure a bios update fixes it? [03:23] Will Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha2 come with kernel 2.6.37 [03:23] I can't delete a folder which I have set 777 permission on, what gives? [03:23] it says permission denied [03:23] travaler, sudo rm didnt work? [03:23] linuxfreaker: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 [03:23] Doinkle I don't have sudo acess [03:24] racines: 2Gib is quite smart, :) [03:24] travaler: What command are you using and what error do you get? [03:24] Jordan_U: rm -rf and rmdir both say Permission denied [03:24] I'm using 10.10 Netbook Edition, and I cannot get prism apps to stay in the launcher after a reboot, any ideas on how to fix that? [03:24] any help please? [03:24] apparently on a forum it says it fixes it [03:25] travaler: Do you have permissions to modify the directory containing the directory in question? [03:25] i know this is last-resort stuff [03:25] Jordan_U: yes I own it [03:25] R00teR: use fdisk or cfdisk [03:25] R00teR, gparted [03:25] Jordan_U I can happily create files delete files w/e [03:26] Jordan_U also if I didn't have permission then chmod wouldn't execute [03:26] travaler: please post ls -l for the file/folder [03:26] but chmod works just fine [03:26] secretary_linux, if i use fdisk then i need to modify grub? [03:26] bonjoyee drwxrwxrwx [03:26] aka 777 [03:26] r00t4rd3d, i'll search on google [03:26] R00teR: yes, if you have grub set up for windows [03:26] oh you mean over here [03:26] :P [03:26] or [03:26] no [03:26] shawn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:26] How do I find the UUID of a Windows share? [03:27] I tried sudo blkid but what I want isn't listed [03:27] oks i go to work now, thanks r00t4rd3d, secretary_linux [03:27] travaler: What filesystem? [03:28] Jordan_U not sure, I assume ext3 [03:28] yup . R00teR you can do apt-get install gparted in terminal to install [03:28] no need to burn into a boot cd? [03:28] travaler: What is the output of "lsattr directory/"? [03:28] Jordan_U bonjoyee Doinkle the folder is called Owner maybe this is special name? [03:28] as long as the windows partition isnt mounted [03:28] no [03:29] Jordan_U: no output [03:29] gparted will tell you === qwerty is now known as Guest36825 [03:29] I'm able to go to Places--> connect to server and access my Win music folder, but I want to add it to fstab so it mounts on boot up [03:29] well, good news [03:29] :) very thank you [03:29] travaler: also what is the ls -l for the parent folder...of this file/folder [03:29] very welcome :D [03:30] bonjoyee 700 or rwx------ [03:30] travaler: Sorry, "lsattr -d directory/" [03:30] I'm using 10.10 Netbook Edition, and I cannot get prism apps to stay in the launcher after a reboot, any ideas on how to fix that? [03:30] hi all, having trouble putting an autorun script on a USB key. Worked in Lucid, in Maverick it says "error autorunning software" - any advice? [03:30] travaler: that could be it..can u delete a single file inside the folder? [03:30] Jordan_U: - --- --- --- [03:31] bonjoyee: I can delete everything inside that folder, just not that particular folder, also I was able to remove all files within this folder [03:31] Jordan" [03:31] wow, and is graphical [03:31] i love this [03:32] Jordan_U: after running that command ls -la tells me I don't have write permission, aka r-x [03:32] travaler: thats because of 700 permissions on the parent folder [03:32] Where can I get help with a Live USB with 10.10? [03:33] bonjoyee: yea I figure that out just now [03:33] travaler: lsattr doesn't modify anything, it just lists the attributes. [03:33] ubuntu.com told me how to make 10.10 usb boot drive [03:33] works fine [03:33] Jordan_U: yea nevermind im stupid, but still lsattr tells me - --- --- --- while ls -la tells me 777 permission [03:33] is that all you're tryin to do? [03:34] Can anyone help me with referencing a Windows share in fstab? [03:34] Jordan_U bonjoyee so whats happening here? [03:34] I'm not sure how to type the address [03:35] Danny78_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently === RobotCow is now known as RoboDinosaur [03:35] bonjoyee: thanks [03:36] travaler: Does the parent directory have the sticky bit set? [03:36] Jordan_U: I don't know what that is [03:36] sooo if i want to type in japanese, how would i go about doing that? [03:37] travaler: What is the output of "ls -ld /path/to/parent/"? [03:38] Jordan_U: just looked it up, and no it is not [03:38] wyt: System/Adminstration/Language Support, install the Japanese input methods, configure ibus in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences, and select Anthy as the input method, then you can start it with control+space in a text area [03:38] wyt: There is an app, I think it's SCIM that allows you to toggle between input modes [03:38] thank you [03:39] Jordan_U: its dr-x I don't understand [03:39] I'm using 10.10 Netbook Edition, and I cannot get prism apps to stay in the launcher after a reboot, any ideas on how to fix that? [03:40] Jordan_U: thanks I got rid of it, I must remember this -d option, seems very handy, thanks [03:40] travaler: You're welcome. Was sticky bit the problem? [03:40] Jordan_U: no it wasn't [03:40] travaler: What was the problem? [03:41] Can anyone recommend a new laptop that works well under Ubuntu? [03:41] I'm getting one for school [03:41] Danny78_: i'll tell you my acer aspire is pretty bad compatibility :( [03:41] Danny78_: Just about every laptop I've used works good with Ubuntu...even netbooks [03:41] Jordan_U: but somehow the parent director had dr-x which must have prevent the folder inside to gain drwx, anyways when I did a ls -la on the parent folder it showed up as 700, but ls -ld showed it as dr-x [03:42] Danny78_: HP pavilion dv5-2135dx. atheros wireless means you can run kismet [03:42] Jordan_U: so I just chmod 700 on parent, then I could delete the folder inside, still a little strange though [03:42] Nanoha: web cam and mic work ok? [03:42] Danny78_: Currently, I'm using an Acer Aspire 5515...little cheapy from walmart, and it works good. The only problem is that the Hard drive motor died on it, so I have to replace that. [03:42] Danny78_: http://zareason.com/shop/Laptops/ http://www.system76.com/index.php?cPath=28 http://dell.com/ubuntu/ [03:42] thanks much everyone! [03:42] Danny78_: no problems there. you just have to find the right software for webcam and stuff [03:42] Jordan_U: unfortunately dell isn't shipping any ubuntu laptops right now, only a desktop [03:42] Greetings. I'm having a VERY difficult time trying to get a DHCP server running on Ubuntu [03:43] It's almost as if dhcp3 is FUNDAMENTALLY broken. [03:43] Danny78_: All those links are to companies that ship computers with Ubuntu pre-installed. [03:43] back again fishscene [03:43] lol yes [03:43] secretary_linux: What's kismet? [03:43] fishscene: I recommend dnsmasq easy to setup and combined with DNS if you need [03:43] installed kubuntu on a6r laptop. sound was problem, solved, wireless a bit more complicated, but also solved. cant make microphone to run. any ideas? [03:43] why exactly do you want to run a dhcp server ? [03:44] im curious [03:44] you making a extra box a router or somthing ? [03:44] schnuffle1: Can it be tied into LTSP? [03:44] r00t4rd3d: I'd love to run an dhcp server for my home network, but never could get it to work either, so I just used static IP's on all my machines. [03:44] No, my router won't allow me to send DHCP flags for some services I would like to run. [03:45] Danny78_: from the manpage- Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic. [03:45] Jordan_U: awesome [03:45] fish: I don't see why not [03:45] I'm taking a look at dnsmasq [03:45] fishscene, what kinda router ? [03:45] fishscene: ltsp uses a different dhcpd.conf... [03:45] Linksys [03:45] secretary_linux: that would be a very good thing for learning security [03:45] model ? [03:46] fishscene: but I would stick with integrated package then [03:46] I'm aware of custom firmware, however, instead of bypassing the problem here, I was wondering if someone could explain to me why 3 people following tutorials couldn't get this running. [03:46] which tut? [03:46] fishscene, www.dd-wrt.com is the best thing you can do to a linksys router [03:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server [03:47] HAII [03:47] r00t4rd3d: Yea. [03:47] i have a pile of linksys routers and thats the first thing that get done. Flashed with ddwrt [03:47] hi, i'm trying to loop mount a drive image from a mac, and the uid= and umask= options dont seem to work [03:48] im wondering if im doing something wrong. the manpage only has an entry for hfs [03:49] Can dd-wrt function as a dns server as well? [03:49] yup [03:50] Just out of curiosity, is there a "dhcp2" out there? [03:50] also has a built in dhcpd server [03:50] I don't remember the DHCP services being broken at all [03:50] sweet [03:51] fishscene: what are the logs telling you? [03:52] It tells me that the DHCP server isn't bound to a network adapter [03:52] Even though I clearly have defined everything and bound it to eth0 [03:52] How should I schedule a job if cron is linked to some upstart thing... cron seems to be running, but it won't check in /etc/crontab... What are you using for scheduling jobs? [03:53] Caffeine: did you look at /etc/cron.d [03:53] Looks like my router and version is 100% compatible. So I'll give dd-wrt a spin until Ubuntu can fix dhcp3 [03:53] can i do a fakeraid install with a desktop-amd64 cd? === RoboDinosaur is now known as RobotTux === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia [03:53] Hello... quick non-ubuntu question. I am building a computer case and I need to have a SATA PCI card... are there any adapters so that the card will be parallel to the motherboard instead of sticking right now? I'm trying to make everything as slim as possible [03:54] fiber: i'm curious how you would thin that would make that "more slim"... it would take up more room inside the case [03:54] fiber: but to answer your question, i've yet to see a PCI adapter like that === RobotTux is now known as nanomachine [03:55] KM0201: I guess I could get a pci card whose actual board is at most 4 inches and shave off the excess metal for the pci slot [03:56] KM0201: for reference, do you remember what the adapter was called? [03:56] fiber: "i've yet to see one" = I have never saw one [03:56] KM0201: oh, sorry... i misread that (long day!) [03:56] 1337 nicks [03:56] :) [03:56] fiber: you realize they probably sell low profile cards if you look around [03:57] doleyb: Ahh now it works, thanks! [03:57] KM0201: I'll keep that in mind... I'm just doing research now so I don't really know whats out there [03:57] I'm using 10.10 Netbook Edition, and I cannot get prism apps to stay in the launcher after a reboot, any ideas on how to fix that? [03:58] Jordan_U: I don't think the grml is going to work for me. [03:58] Hey I've got a problem with MySQLi on my Ubuntu 10.04 server... when I try to apt-get install php5-mysqli , it returns saying that three dependencies are not met, and the package is broken. Is there another package that MySQLi is supposed to be isntalled through? [03:59] nancho sudo apt-get -f install [03:59] Nach0z: try running dpkg --configure -a I think that fixes broken packages. === nanomachine is now known as RobotTux [03:59] Nanoha: Indeed, it seems like linux in general doesn't like your hardware much. [03:59] Can you set up a lan to play games on with a windows 7 and xubuntu computer? [03:59] Jordan_U: It's been running fine for the past five years! LOL [03:59] how do u toggle the pathway from icons/buttons to a line of text [04:00] Nanoha: So the last working release was 10.04? [04:00] Jordan_U: 9.04, but I don't have an image of that any more [04:00] when next version comes out [04:00] april? [04:00] april [04:00] Can you set up a lan to play games on with a windows 7 and xubuntu computer? [04:00] k and then october [04:01] Or will that totally not work? [04:01] r00t4rd3d : it still refuses to install. Nanoha : i can't run dpkg --configure on a package that isn't installed :/ [04:02] Tiktalik: Setting up a LAN just requires a switch. Whether you can host a game server on Ubuntu depends on the game. [04:02] Jordan_U: Let me try downloading and installing a fresh copy of 10.04. I think it was mentioned around 14:00 today that *.10 is the development version? [04:02] secretary_linux: I'm really liking the HP Pavilion you recommended [04:03] especially the price [04:03] Nanoha: No, 10.10 is a stable release, just not a long term support release. [04:03] Nach0z, run synaptic package manager , goto Edit , Fix broken packages , try that [04:03] Nanoha: So the problems first started when you tried to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [04:04] Jordan_U: when I tried to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.10...I'm guessing that's what the upgrade command did [04:04] 10.04 was LTS [04:04] hi.... help me. my CMI8738 have problems [04:04] I meant wireless jordan. [04:04] Nanoha: ugh.. 9.04 to 10.10.. [04:04] Nanoha: You can't skip releases (exept from one LTS release to the next). So it would be 9.04 to 9.10, 9.10 to 10.04, then 10.04 to 10.10. [04:04] should have specified. [04:05] r00t4rd3d: it's a server. it doesn't have a GUI :/ unless there's a terminal version of synaptic that I don't know about? [04:05] Tiktalik: are you saying your wireless device isn't working? [04:05] Uh, no. [04:05] If 9.04 was LTS, you can just got 10.04 LTS,then to 10.10 [04:05] hmm, interesting, cause after the upgrade and the reboot, I saw 10.10. So how would I upgrade to 9.10? [04:06] Just wondering if it's possible to set up a wlan to play games on with one computer xubuntu and one windows 7. [04:06] Nach0z: you could use aptitude [04:06] Nanoha: Then you probably were actually using 10.04 previously, which would be good because 10.04 is still supported (9.04 is not). [04:06] Nanoha: Where did you see "10.10"? [04:07] okay. Well, in another 20 minutes I'll see if a fresh 10.04 workds. [04:07] Jordan_U: I saw it at the boot up. Welcome to Ubuntu! I remember seeing 10.10 on the text screen [04:07] hello irc chanel for wikileaks ? [04:08] :) [04:08] when using nautilus-connect-server i keep getting Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/firefox-4.0" (No such file or directory). why is it trying to use a version of FF I had installed and not Nautilus? [04:08] Who does use C-Media Sound Card at Ubuntu 10.04?? [04:08] so for kismet, is there anything other than atheros that works, or is it simply 802.11 b/g/n that allows kismet to work? [04:09] alienf2: This is not a channel for wikileaks, nor is it the place to find such a channel if it exists. [04:09] anyone here? [04:09] no [04:09] kinda [04:09] only 1337 people, cool [04:09] ok thanks [04:09] damn it went up [04:09] i'm sorry i'm new comer [04:09] Graah! [04:09] !l33t | kindofabuzz [04:09] kindofabuzz: 1337 i5 n1gh-inc0mpr3h3n5ib13 70 u5 n00bs, 4nd n0b0dy c4r35 if UR 4 1337 h4x0r. Giv3 i7 4 r357. [04:09] our 1337 is gone! [04:10] Yes! [04:10] Exit! [04:10] KM0201: no i was saying there 1337 people in the room. as in the count [04:10] wow, people can actually understand that gibberish?! [04:10] do they make any laptops with particularly powerful wifi reception? [04:10] kindofabuzz: uh, ok [04:10] !ot [04:10] Almost there. [04:10] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:10] Nanoha: they claim to. [04:10] KM0201: it's gone up by two now [04:10] Danny78_: get a laptop with a N class wifi card [04:10] when using nautilus-connect-server i keep getting Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/firefox-4.0" (No such file or directory). why is it trying to use a version of FF I had installed and not Nautilus? [04:10] meanieface : Thanks, that at least gave me some options and made it fix some stuff :) [04:11] Nach0z: no problem [04:11] Nanoha: thanks... I want AMD, so I'm avoiding some of the Ubuntu-shipped laptops. N is newest? [04:11] that I know of, yes [04:11] lxde vs xubuntu which is lighter ? [04:11] Dude, I can understand ubottu's leet perfectly. [04:12] Go homestuck! [04:12] :) [04:12] 8-) [04:12] is there some way to change the perms on a read-only filesystem? [04:12] alienf2: lxde [04:13] i dont want to write, but i want to give my wife read access to this drive image [04:13] rigel: Linux cannot write to journaled hfsplus. [04:13] thanks xangua [04:13] Jordan_U: it's a read-only image anyway [04:13] i just need to give her read access to it over the network [04:13] so that she can copy over files she wants to keep [04:14] but i am a little scared to give her root [04:14] I've copied some data from an ext4 partition to an ext3 partition and the ocuped size on the destination is almost 3 times the size of the original... is this expected? Is this due to different parameters or filesystem differences? [04:14] rigel: why not just set the permisions for her group to be read only (744) ? [04:14] copied using rsync -a [04:14] Nanoha: i apparently cant change perms on this loop-mounted hfs+ image [04:15] someone need help with l33t? [04:15] it's an image of her old mac [04:15] hello guys, i am having some problems trying to compile linux 2.6.37 on Ubuntu maverick [04:15] wubi does not work with Ubuntu 10.10 anyone know anything? :p [04:15] rigel: I think you need to tweak fstab to enable r/w on that drive [04:15] Nanoha: i dont need r/w [04:16] its not in fstab. it's a drive image [04:16] alienf2: Wubi works as well with 10.10 as it does with any other version of Ubuntu. What problem are you having specifically? [04:16] are there any companies online that let you build an AMD laptop? [04:16] rigel: it's an ISO? [04:16] the error i found is: dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.37.custom not in control info [04:16] an .img, yes [04:16] can anyone help me? [04:16] hey danny i belive asus has barebooks for sale [04:16] Danny78_: check out Asus. I think they do [04:17] Danny78: i believe tigerdirect has a "build your own" laptop also. [04:17] Nanoha: what a koikidink, most of the computers I've built are ASUS [04:17] rigel: so you need to mount the .img file as a directory, then once inside, you should be able to set the permsssions accordingly [04:17] here's the story. I got her to move to ubuntu with the new computer. i imaged her mac drive onto our main fileserver. i am mounting her hfs+ image loopback, and want to give her full access to read anything on the drive [04:17] it's mounted, but it's ro [04:18] KM0201: Have you had good experieinces with Tiger Direct? I only ask because I've never done business with them [04:18] only works with 10.04 liters to 10.10 do not start :) [04:18] Hi guys [04:18] Danny78: i've used tigerdirect for years(at least 10) and have probably placed every bit of 15-20k worth of orders from them, been very happy. [04:18] Package sun-java6-jre is not available [04:18] Hi bluegoon [04:18] can anyone tell the command line address for ubuntu keyserver (i.e gpg -keyserver #####) [04:18] Danny78, hey Danny, Package sun-java6-jre is not available, any ideas? [04:19] Danny78: but the "build to order" laptops, are systemax laptops... . i dunno if tht changes your opinion or not. [04:19] hello guys, i am having some problems trying to compile linux 2.6.37 on Ubuntu maverick [04:19] the error i found is: dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.37.custom not in control info [04:19] can anyone help me? [04:19] KM0201: that sounds pretty bonafide. [04:19] rigel: mount -o remount,rw / maybe? [04:19] Nanoha: He doesn't want write access. [04:19] Danny78: yeah, they ar located in Illinois, and w/ me being in Indiana... if i order before noon, pay for 7 day shipping, i usually have it at my door the next day around 4:00 [04:19] KM0201: I'm sqeamish of that , yeah, because my HP Pavilion was a nightmare, so now I don't know who to trust [04:20] i don't understand the problem then [04:20] Nanoha: i was hoping there was a mount option that would let me set the uid/gid/umask on all the files on the image [04:20] but i'm not having any luck with that [04:20] Is Sun Java 6 JRE available to ubuntu? [04:20] bluegoon: enable the necessary repos... [04:20] Like i said before, I would just set the permissions for the Everybody group to 4 [04:20] bonjoyee, on 10.10, where do I do that? :) [04:21] Nanoha: it's a read-only filesystem [04:21] can you even do that with loopback devices? [04:21] bonjoyee, you mean Software Sources? Where is that option in 10.10? [04:21] i have always thought not [04:21] if it's a read only file system, and you don't want her to write,then I really don't understand what the issue is [04:21] rigel: You can have writeable loopback devices, just not writeable journaled hfsplus (loopback or not). [04:22] she cant read anything, so she cant see the files she wants to copy from her old drive [04:22] bluegoon: im using debian this moment..but feel it should be the partner or multiverse [04:22] what are the permssions on the files? [04:22] bonjoyee, ko [04:22] ok* [04:23] they vary [04:23] like on any filesystem [04:23] Jordan_U: any ideas? [04:23] I was meaning anything obvious like a 700 or something [04:23] rigel: Do you get any error message from mount when you try to use the uid= option? Can you try adding a bogus=nonsense option (to see if it's just silently discarding options it doesn't recognise)? [04:23] Sorry if I'm off topic a bit, but I am shopping for a Ubuntu laptop... question: is 5400 RPM typical in laptop HDDs? [04:23] no, no error messages from uid= or gid= [04:23] Danny78: in my experience, yes. [04:23] it threw an error with file_umask and dir_umask [04:24] Danny78: do this... look at 4-5 models you'd like to try ubuntu on... then get on google, and google "HP xxxx ubuntu 10.10" and see what kind of hits you get [04:25] KM0201-- good idea, thanks, will do [04:25] i realize this isnt an ubuntu specific question, might there be another channel where i should try? [04:25] Danny78: if you notice one w/ significant problems, then drop it from consideration [04:25] rigel: ##linux maybe. [04:25] Danny78: honestly, thats how i bought my acer laptop 5yrs ago... eneded up working out perfectly, right down to the patch fixes to fix my wireless(don't need them anymore) [04:27] bluegoon: its in partner repo! [04:28] bonjoyee, thanks man, for some reason they disabled software sources in 10.10 ? [04:28] bonjoyee, got it working cheers :) [04:29] bluegoon: hmm...but u can access that from synaptic/software center as well as the terminal..anyways glad i worked:) [04:29] it* [04:30] bonjoyee, sweet :) [04:31] I'm using 10.10 Netbook Edition, and I cannot get prism apps to stay in the launcher after a reboot, any ideas on how to fix that? [04:31] 28 [04:31] oops. [04:32] Jordan_U: I got that grml menu to load. Now what option should I choose? [04:32] what up peeps?! [04:33] not much. [04:34] So I'm trying to 86 windows in my studio and have been attempting to get Ubuntu working [04:34] i have 2 window managers installed, gnome and another,,, i don't have a manual login at boot so where do I choose between managers? [04:34] I just did a fresh install of ubuntu maverick ultimate edition 2.8 64 bit and it kicks major ass!!!!!!!! [04:34] inigo, same here [04:34] it was my first [04:35] But I need to get the OSS drivers working for JACK [04:35] it's fully packed [04:35] @Toph I think you can choose to logout and switch then [04:35] christopher,,, ok,, i'll try that [04:35] If I use Ubuntu on a laptop, am I safe for being able to share files and work with peoples' macs and wind machines? [04:36] this is probably a stretch asking here, but does anyone here have a LynxTWO audio card working successfully with 10.10? [04:36] i say leave those windows machines alone [04:36] Danny, yes [04:37] does anybody know how to i set files created by apache (via WebDAV) according to the LDAP user? [04:37] @Danny78 all of my home pc's and laptops are running 100% Ubuntu, and I share files with the work (windows) PC's all the time... works like a champ [04:37] since the system itself is tied to the ldap. [04:38] VOTalent: basically, I'm a therapist who needs to take notes and share with boss, colleagues, also doing marketing (FB, Go Daddy, Google Ad Space, et. al.) [04:38] christopher: great, cause I'm sick of Windows [04:38] Danny78_, how would you typically share the files? [04:39] Danny78_, If you're just copying files to and from a shared server, you're set. [04:39] ubuntu 11.00 ? [04:39] :) [04:39] VOTalent-- either through a web file-storage app or directly through Flash drive I suppose, or email of course [04:39] Danny78: your best bet under those circumstances [04:39] is to dual boot for a while [04:40] Danny78, You won't have any problems at all if that's the case. [04:40] @Danny78 ya... I'm much happier switching to linux, a lot of stress went out the door when windows was removed [04:40] ubuntu 11.00 ? [04:40] Danny78: get a laptop, or whatever you want, and dual boot, so if you run into an issue you can't immediately figure out, you have windows to fall back on... even if you only leave windows on a small partition... if you bring the laptop home, and immediately nuke windos for ubuntu, w/ your experience level... you'll have windows reinstalled within a week [04:40] KM0201: dual boot is tempting, but I've had baaaad experiences with Windows not playing nice, even when it gets first dibs to the boot loader [04:41] Also, I use a 16 Gig Thumb drive for most (almost all) my file transferring... works great [04:41] Danny78: then honestly, you'e probably not set it up properly.. dual booting is quite easy [04:41] * Ripper_Owens rocks the dual boot [04:41] * KM0201 dual booted for a year before finally ridding myself of MS [04:41] Danny78, In my studio, I have Mac, Windows XP and Ubuntu. You can do it without the dual boot [04:42] But if you're really concerned, I'd just install the OS on a thumbdrive and get the tests out of the way [04:42] Hi there. I hope this is the right place to ask: My Ubuntu machine (I'm using desktop 10.10) doesn't boot anymore once I place my ATI Radeon HD 4600 graphics card into the computer. It doesn't even show the splashscreen after I select to boot my Ubuntu system. Just some strange codes? I wonder if there's any way to fix that. The integrated graphics card isn't worth anything :| [04:42] wubi for windows 7 ? start [04:42] :) [04:43] VOTalent: I have win 7 desk, older Ubuntu 10.04 desk and a really old 500MHz that won't boot from cd [04:43] VOtalent: What kind of studio? programming? arts? [04:43] Danny78_: did you md5sum check it? [04:43] [04:44] Danny78 I'm a voiceover talent [04:44] Blue1-- no but I should. It's damn small linux [04:44] Danny78_: i have 10.04 on a 733 mhz compaq deskpro with 384 meg o ram [04:45] Blue1: It boots and says in a boxed window that there's a bootable cd in the drive, and then it hangs during bootup, just freezes (has 256MB RAM, AMD K62 [04:46] Danny78_: are you doing the desktop install or the alternatate install? 256 m is pretty slim [04:46] I wrote on it "Mini ubuntu 10.04.1" [04:48] Danny78_: that;s meaningless [04:48] Blue1: it was supposed to be the most stripped down for old comps, from the Ubuntu site [04:48] Danny78_: in my experience with the compaq, I had to do the alternate install [04:48] hello [04:49] Blue1: You think a 500MHz processor could handle it? [04:49] Danny78_: I have never heard of mini ubuntu what is the url for it? [04:49] Danny78_: yes [04:49] Blue1: one sec [04:49] ,,, [04:50] Blue1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:50] they're between 7 and 12 MB [04:51] Danny78_: okay that's already using the alternate install (text based) which makes sense -- I'd md5sum that sucker [04:51] Danny78_: and on a machine that old, you need to write (burn) the disc at the slowest speed -- 1X if possible [04:52] Blue1: yeah, I reading into that cause it's been years, and yes I know that's really bad practice [04:53] Oh man, wish I could get Minecraft working :( [04:54] okay need a break bbl [04:55] a 12 MB OS ISO is astounding [04:56] hello guys...anyone in this room has set up a thin client? [04:56] LOL DOS used to be that size === sresu is now known as sre-su [04:56] ok i just installed ubuntu-sever edition and need help to install and setup ssh [04:56] On the 500 I'm using an expansion card to connect the drives (mobo has the older ribbon connectors)... could that prevent boot up? [04:56] Does anyone know of a good start on what kind of tablet i should get if im thinking about getting ubuntu running on it [04:57] where is the 12MB OS ISO? === root is now known as Guest32826 [04:57] I was looking at the inspiron duo [04:57] but i dont like the thought of running atom [04:57] liny_man: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:58] I need help here: I just installed ubuntu-server edition and need help to install the ssh server and configure it so i can connect to it [04:58] aot-get install openssh [04:58] that for me? [04:58] I have 2 computers, a desktop with no display and a laptop...i want the laptop to be the display of the desktop pc...can you suggest a solution? [04:59] Suntzu: X over ssh [04:59] Suntzu: you can use ssh to command the desktop from the laptop [04:59] excellent...how can i do that? [04:59] Suntzu, vnc [04:59] or x over ssh like said [05:00] i use x over ssh on my mac to my linux box [05:00] works fine [05:00] it's been forever and a day since I've set it up. i'd look at my config files, but... they're gone. === daniel__ is now known as inside0ut [05:00] hmmm, but you can use the sound of the server? [05:01] That i don't know. but then again, I used my server partially as a media center to stream to my TV [05:02] Can u tell me where can I find info about doing that?The ubuntu documentation is not good enough for me...i'm a newbie in this [05:02] about streaming? [05:02] Suntzu: make sure that ssh server is running, iptables are set and ssh to desktop with -X. [05:02] Can someone help me to install the ssh server onto my ubuntu-server console and how to log into it [05:03] NANOHA: nop, about installing ssh and everything [05:03] I thought ssh was already installed, but I guess if it's not, then sudo apt-get install ssh [05:03] hi [05:03] Suntzu: to run whole gnome (or whatever) on laptop: switch to tty6 and run: xinit -- :1 vt8 and ssh -X and startx. [05:04] Stupid question: where is my cdrom in the filesystem? dev? which? [05:04] Danny78_: /dev/cdrom usually [05:04] is it just cdrom? [05:04] ah ok === gryllida is now known as Gryllida [05:05] Nanoha: openssh-server [05:05] Danny78: type "moouunt" in the command prompt to see the location of all mounted systems, including you cd drive. [05:05] I'm trying to use the CPU frequency applet on my GNOME desktop. It appears to grab the CPU speed correctly, but I can't change it. Some Google results turned up adding the SUID bit to /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector, but that didn't help, and running the command under sudo doesn't do anything. [05:05] AH! okay. Told you it's been a loooooong time [05:05] *mount [05:06] Where do I go from here? Google can't seem to help me. [05:06] shcherbak: thank you for your help....but I'm a newbie in that terminology...I think it's better that you suggest me a book to read so I can learn and not waste others time [05:06] how do I empty the cdrom? [05:06] Suntzu: you have used ssh before? [05:06] I must be missing a flag? [05:07] on the other hand, I don't know what happened to my laptop...usb ports don't work after upgrade :S [05:07] Suntzu: sudo apt-get install openssh-server will install ssh for you as Shcherbak said [05:07] Danny78: like reformat it? or unmount it? [05:08] scherbak: no, i'm just asking for guidance to install a client that works as the display of the server [05:08] liny_man: erase and reformat [05:08] Could someone plz help me to install ssh and explain to me how to login to it from my other computer? [05:08] Suntzu: Then (since all I use is the terminal on the desktop), I use Putty to remote into the desktop and control it [05:08] Suntzu: lsusb, and lshw to see, plug something to usb and use dmesg. [05:09] scherbak: i don't want to buy a new monitor...so I just like the laptop to work as the monitor for my desktop [05:09] first2none, sudo apt-get install ssh [05:09] liny_man: I'm going to try and get mini Ubuntu working on an old comp [05:09] Doinkle: Ty very much [05:09] Suntzu: display of the server is very vast term.

[05:10] well...What term you suggest me to use?I'm not good speaking english [05:10] Danny78: try "Brasero" from the applications menu. its the default program for stuff like this. i dont know if it reformats CDs though. [05:11] whats the command to unmount a device? Resource at /media/xxxxx [05:11] * KM0201 prefers Gnomebaker to Brasero [05:11] Suntzu: "X forwarding" is thing you should google. [05:11] liny_man: Brasero can erase a rewritable disk, yes. [05:11] scherbak: thnk u...i'm on my way down [05:12] wait, is DSL more user-friendly than mini? or I suppose I could add xfce after install... [05:12] I'm trying to use the CPU frequency applet on my GNOME desktop. It appears to grab the CPU speed correctly, but I can't change it. Some Google results turned up adding the SUID bit to /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector, but that didn't help, and running the command under sudo doesn't do anything. What can I try next? [05:12] hi all , I have a problem about the movie player [05:12] what's a good contacts app that syncs with google?

[05:14] Danny78: im using a pda to connect, and was unable to catch your question. what was it? [05:14] ouyes: Could be many things. Could be that your hard drive can't read data off your drive fast enough. It could be that the CPU can't decode the video quite fast enough. It's likely a bottleneck somewhere though. [05:14] wait, is DSL more user-friendly than mini? or I suppose I could add xfce after install..

[05:18] MTughan_laptop, shcherbak it is mkv [05:18] can anyone furtherly help me with my openssh issue? [05:18] ouyes: MKV could be many different codecs. I'll assume something like H.264 though, that's likely. Is it encoded from a Blu-Ray disc? [05:19] ouyes, you'll have to figure that out on your machine [05:19] MTughan_laptop, shcherbak .Stone.LIMITED.1080p.Bluray.x264-CBGB.mkv is the file name, [05:19] ouyes: does vlc do same tricky things as smplayer? [05:19] hi folks [05:19] shcherbak, I do not have vlc [05:19] after an upgrade, my usb ports stop working...can you help me please? they even dissapeared from the bios settings. This is what dmesg command says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550952/ [05:19] first2none, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dns-server-setup-using-bind-in-ubuntu.html [05:20] #join android [05:20] argh, Brasero won't let me erase the disc [05:20] dsl is standalone OS, and takes very little getting used to. ubuntu minimal is just a bootablle install program that requires the internet. from what i read, it is also only cli. [05:20] dsl rox! [05:20] I seem to be having a problem with my installation of Ubuntu 10.10. When I boot into the operating system I am prompted with a gui login screen. Upon clicking my username and typing in the correct password the windows disappear but the background stays... shortly after the screen goes black and then flashes me back to the login screen. Safe mode works, ctrl+alt+f1 works as well for login. The recovery console works too. Is ther [05:21] Can someone help me to isntall a dns server? [05:21] MTughan_laptop, shcherbak do I need to make some configuration with the smplayer to play the movie [05:21] Suntzu, have you tried Slitaz? [05:21] Danny78: whats wrong with Brasero? [05:21] ouyes: Well, a 1080p H.264 encoded file is a lot of data to decode. It might be too much for the 2GHz processor you have, given that I don't think the radeon driver for your graphics card supports hardware decoding. [05:21] first2none, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dns-server-setup-using-bind-in-ubuntu.html [05:21] Okay I am at a stump with my ssh key issue and I have tried everything! As you can read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1659447. Can anyone further elabortate on what I should do next or tell me what I am doing wrong? [05:22] liny_man: I'm trying to erase a cdrw so I can burn one of these tiny OSes we've been talking about [05:22] Doinkle: lol you just got it all [05:22] StolenWhisper: from tty: sudo services gdm stop, then startx (or xinit -- :1 vt8) [05:22] ouyes: Try starting up System Monitor from System->Administration, then play the movie again in smplayer. See how the CPU responds. [05:22] first2none, nah, just here to help [05:22] so slow?! [05:22] MTughan_laptop, ok wait a few moments [05:22] StolenWhisper: do you have any log (/var/log) there? [05:22] usb problems...can anyone give assistance...pleeeeeeeeeeeeease? [05:23] Danny78: whats the message shown when you try to reformat it? [05:23] u.u [05:23] In Brasers you can do "disc blanking but it is greyed out saying there's no disc. yet I see the disc elsewhere [05:23] Suntzu: lsusb, what does it? [05:23] Danny78_: Is it a CD-RW or a CD-R? [05:23] cdrw [05:23] I created a new wireless network in xubuntu, how do I get rid of it/ [05:24] ok [05:24] can anyone recommend an eBook reader for Ubuntu? [05:24] doo you have a cdr drive? [05:24] Any clue? [05:25] Wait, nvm it's gone.\ [05:25] liny_man: yeah, it's a little old though so maybe I should try buring it on the newer box [05:25] shcherbak, i sucessfully stopped gdm and used startx, however now the system has locked up after showing the ubuntu desktop background with a single X crusor in the middle of the screen with nothing else. [05:25] tiktalik_: ifconfig, and interface with ad-hoc mode or master put down. [05:25] shcherbak, this is what it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550955/ === mbvpixies78 is now known as Danny78 [05:26] StolenWhisper: try xinit -- :1 vt8 (check from tty for errors) [05:27] Danny78: yes try burning it on the newer machine, and keep the burning speed low, so it will work better in old machines. as a side note, one of my older dik readers couldn't read a cd-rw disk. [05:27] Suntzu: plug enything to usb and run lsusb once more [05:27] liny-man another piece of hardware to put on the list [05:27] ok [05:27] I'm trying to use the CPU frequency applet on my GNOME desktop. It appears to grab the CPU speed correctly, but I can't change it. Some Google results turned up adding the SUID bit to /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector, but that didn't help, and running the command under sudo doesn't do anything. What can I try next? [05:27] Danny78: always. [05:28] shcherbak: it says the same thing [05:29] shcherbak how do I "check from tty for errors"? [05:29] MTughan_laptop, what about the cpu in the panel addons [05:29] StolenWhisper: swith to tty from where you run xinit [05:29] nit-wit: What do you mean? [05:30] Suntzu: can you post dmesg link once more? [05:30] ok [05:30] right click the panel-add to panel the cpu icon it has a dropdown to set the speeed [05:30] shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550952/ [05:30] nit-wit: You mean the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor? [05:31] I get financial aid ~$1000 specifically for a computer... I'm wondering if I can get a laptop and throw in, oh, I don't know, a new HDD, mobo and CPU(not really new, just newer than 1998) [05:31] MTughan_laptop, yes [05:31] can anyone recommend an eBook reader for Ubuntu? [05:31] nit-wit: That's the one I'm trying to troubleshoot now. [05:31] @Ed_Money what file format are you wanting to use most often/ [05:31] christopher: .mobi and kindle [05:31] MTughan_laptop, no drop down righ or left click [05:31] shcherbak: this is what dmesg says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/550958/ [05:31] I set ssh keys up on one computer and now on my other computer without the ssh keys my old password isn't working. How can I check my password? [05:31] shcherbak, after booting into the repair console from the tty1, I went back into the tty1 and there are no errors posted. [05:32] nit-wit: The left click gives me a list of frequencies and scaling governors. [05:32] Although I just tried again and it's suddenly working, for whatever reason. [05:32] MTughan_laptop, right what is it you want beyond that, is it not changing [05:32] nit-wit: It wasn't, but it is now. [05:33] MTughan_laptop, are you running maverick [05:33] Suntzu: Have a look http://hack2live.blogspot.com/2008/06/ubuntu-linux-restart-usb-to-reset-stuck.html [05:33] nit-wit: Yes. [05:33] StolenWhisper: have you run xinit -- :1 vt8? [05:34] @Ed_Money : http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66546 has a link to software released by amazon for reading mobi/kindle on linux [05:34] shcherbak: ok [05:34] shcherbak yes [05:34] MTughan_laptop, once in a while a couple of icons go south in my mavrick and just reloading them or running killall gnome-panel fixes it. [05:34] all that command did was boot me into what looks like the recovery console [05:34] StolenWhisper: did you get xterm? [05:34] no [05:34] christopher: I had thought Amazon wasn't supporting Linux, despite Kindle running Linux. I'll check out that link [05:34] nit-wit: All right, I'll remember that then. [05:35] Similar command to kill the Dashboard widgets in OS X. [05:35] Is DSL self-booting? It's a bunch of web filesystems so I have no clue which I need [05:35] Although there you kill the Dock process, not gnome-panel. :P [05:35] StolenWhisper: good, so Xserver is apparently ok, from this new console run gedit (or whatever) [05:35] MTughan_laptop, I'm not surprised, does the OS retsrt the docky panel [05:36] *restart [05:36] If I run "killall Dock"? Yeah, it restarts the Dock, which seems to have the Dashboard process forked out of it too. [05:36] would initrd or syslinux self-boot? [05:36] Danny78: the iso, when extracted and burned to a cd is bootable. i have done it. [05:36] (dsl versions) [05:36] shcherbak, gedit is working. I can't seem to login normally with my user account. I also checked to make sure the home directory is working properly. I am able to login through the Unbuntu-Desktop Safemode, Repair Console, and through tty1. However by simply clicking my name and typing in the correct password I get thrown back to the login screen. [05:37] liny_man: so it doesn't matter which I download? [05:37] hey guys, hopefully an easy question.. i'm trying to enable bitmapped fonts on my ubuntu 10.10 install.. did my sudo dpkg-reconfigure fonconfig followed by sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config and i understand fontconfig-config should bring up a curses based program which i can go through menus and enable it but i dont get this, no menu no errors nothing? [05:37] christopher: that link leads to a program that allows one to create Kindle books on Linux, not read books on Kindle [05:37] nit-wit: Thanks for your help, I've got to run for the night. [05:38] StolenWhisper: what graphic driver do you use? [05:38] i am not sure, how do I check? [05:38] MTughan_laptop, no problem [05:38] @Ed_Money you could also use claibre, it does Mobi, and can convert to just about any other format, synch to your reader... full library management [05:38] Where does cron store logs? [05:38] Danny78: the cd version? i would get the cd version if possible. i dont remember how i did it before. [05:38] StolenWhisper: jockey-text [05:38] you can find that in the software center [05:38] liny_man: ok, I'll give it a try [05:39] Danny78: good luck! :p [05:39] shcherbak: i did as the post said...but the terminal says "fatal: module ehci_hcd not found" [05:39] liny_man: well, it's only bonus if I get this old man of a box back to life [05:40] christopher: when I try to install calibre from Ubuntu Software Center, the install dies and says "Package dependencies cannot be resolved". What's the first step in resolving the package dependency? [05:40] crap [05:40] crapbuster [05:40] I've got 3 boxes connected with a KVM switch [05:40] shcherbak, jockey-text responded with searching for available drivers..... and then returns me back to a prompt. I am logged in as sudo su root. [05:40] @Ed_Money Hmmm. ya got me there, I'll install it and see what happens [05:41] Ed_Money, try this : go to a terminal and sudo apt-get install calibre [05:41] Hi there, if anyone knows what could cause "No init found. Try passing init =bootarg." when trying to boot using my ATI graphics card? Ubuntu (and the CD for that matter) only boot succesfully using my onboard gfx card. [05:42] shcherbak: i did as the post said...but the terminal says "fatal: module ehci_hcd not found" [05:42] ouyes: when installing from the command line, I get the error "The following packages have unmet dependencies: [05:42] calibre: Depends: python-qt4 but it is not going to be installed [05:42] E: Broken packages [05:42] hello people, is there a software like jing or jetscreenshot for ubuntu ? where i can take screenshot of a particular region, edit, upload...etc [05:42] hello people, is there a software like jing or jetscreenshot for ubuntu ? where i can take screenshot of a particular region, edit, upload...etc [05:42] Ed_Money, then and python-qt4 [05:43] Ed_Money, install python-qt4 [05:43] Ed_Money, see what happens [05:43] hey what do i have to install so i can open tar files? [05:44] first2none: nothing. [05:44] first2none, they should just work w/ the standard archive app [05:44] ouyes: good idea. that doesn't work either, it says "The following packages have unmet dependencies:" and then lists 9 packages all starting with libqt4- [05:44] firs2none go to the command prompt and type "tar". that should do the job. [05:44] Suntzu: missing module, one minute [05:45] first2none, is it just a tar? or tar.gz/tar.bzip [05:45] thank you very much shcerbak...!!! [05:45] tar.gz [05:45] StolenWhisper: you do not need root to run it. [05:45] Ed_Money, I've missed the full story, but if you're seeing "unmet dependencies" from "apt-get install..." there's something broken in your repositories list [05:45] FiReSTaRT, sudo apt-get install unrar p7zip-full cabextract [05:45] ty :) [05:45] wait wasnt for me lol [05:45] shcherbak, is there something that was supposed to be returned there? [05:45] Madpilot: how do I figure out what's broken and then fix it? [05:46] first2none: i think you dont need aditional software to open them... [05:46] Suntzu: sudo modprobe -a ehci_hcd ??? [05:46] Ed_Money, go to package manager and mark python-at4 [05:46] ubottu, tell Ed_Money about repos [05:46] Ed_Money, please see my private message [05:46] Ed_Money, qt4 [05:46] shcherbak: ok [05:46] @Madpilot Ed is trying to install Calibre, but it won't install because of a broken libqt4 dependency, he tried from the software center and from the terminal [05:47] Ed_Money, it will prompt you all the dependencies [05:47] cow on [05:47] how do I slow the burn speed on a cdrw in Nero? anyone? [05:47] StolenWhisper: yes list of driver to use, just stop it. [05:47] christopher, install from a 3rd-party download, or is Calibre in repos? [05:47] hello all! [05:47] first2none: this code will extract a tar.gz file to te destop: "tar -xv example.tar.gz -C ~/Desktop" [05:47] how do i learn to use ubottu? [05:47] shcherbak: it says the same [05:47] Its in repos [05:47] ubottu, tell eremyja about yourself [05:47] eremyja, please see my private message [05:47] scherbak: warning, not found [05:47] inigo: hello!

[05:48] ouyes: it doesn't prompt for the dependencies, it just complains about not having the dependencies [05:48] i did that ouyes [05:48] i <3 you madpilot, thanks for the fast reply => [05:48] I'm trying it out onw :) [05:48] shit, I guess I'm going to have to learn about reposotories [05:49] Ed_Money, have you marked other packages at the same time? [05:49] nero my hero erase this dastardly disc [05:49] @Ed_money i just got it installed from the software center with no problems (Using 10.10 netbook) [05:49] Ed_Money, if all it does is complain, then yeah, your repos listing got broken somehow. Which version of Ubuntu? [05:49] Ed_Money, just mark python-qt4 [05:49] Ed_Money, then apply [05:49] ouyes: I marked only python-qt4, it didn't work [05:49] Ed_Money, and then apply [05:49] ubottu, tell Pigstealer about yourself [05:49] Pigstealer, please see my private message [05:50] Ed_Money, see what happens [05:50] crap, it's writing at 4x... hope that's slow enough [05:50] MadPilot: version 10.04 [05:50] anyone know how to have a command run when i start xchat to automatically msg nickserv to identify me?

[05:51] Turns out it did do it earlier i just didnt notice [05:51] lanyangyang: hiya [05:51] Eyesuck: go to xchat, networklist [05:51] 你好啊 [05:51] 有中国的吗 [05:51] first2none: cool. [05:51] 大家，好。 [05:51] Hi... when you close a shell and reopen a new one, and you press the up key, it shows the last thing you typed, how do I delete that historial? [05:51] eyesuck : then go to 'Freenode', click Edit and type it in at nickserv password [05:52] lanyangyang: Hi. [05:52] lanyangyang, Do you speak Englilsh? [05:52] Suntzu: not certain what next, upgrade? what kernel you using? (uname -a) [05:52] ! lanyangyang | ubuntu [05:52] hi all, I was wondering, is there a linux distro for installing on a pen drive? (something like dsl) [05:52] thanks [05:52] My webcame stopped working in cheese after upgrading to Maverick [05:52] ajwill: pentoo [05:52] ! ubuntu | lanyangyang [05:52] lanyangyang: 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 [05:52] hi,all. [05:52] I bet the neighors are pissed [05:52] ok [05:53] bye bye [05:53] n-iCe: thats not ubuntu though, that's gentoo based [05:54] My webcame stopped working in cheese after upgrading to Maverick [05:54] ajwill: ah, right, did not see you were asking for a ubuntu based [05:54] Hi... when you close a shell and reopen a new one, and you press the up key, it shows the last thing you typed, how do I delete that historial? [05:54] I just installe ubuntu 10.10 and lost my signal strenght indicator applet. How do I retrieve it? [05:54] n-iCe: why would you want to..? I find that very useful :) [05:54] shcherbak: I was using the *.27...I tried everything and get nothing...so I decided to reinstall the OS, so it is version *.21 right now [05:54] there are chinese every where [05:55] hmm on ubuntu 10.10.. I plugged in a usb ir receiver.. played a bit then unplugged it.. Im not to sure if its related but now when i press the uparrow key on my keyboard it goes to take screenshot?? anyone know how to fix this?? i tried "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard" [05:56] shcherbak: my usb ports worked when I installed Ubuntu 10.04...after the upgrade, everything messed up...I tried many suggestions but nothing worked...so i decided to reinstall the OS...it didn't work either [05:57] Suntzu: is it laptop? [05:57] shcherbak: yes [05:57] shcherbak no, its a media pc [05:58] liny_man: It didn't work... same freeze on bootup after saying there's a bootable cd in the drive... [05:58] Suntzu: try livecd, most likely it is hardware issue [05:58] shcherbak: it is 5 years old and I have used Ubuntu those 5 years...and everything was fine...until a week ago [05:58] ajwill: because I need to [05:58] Danny78: did you select dsl from th bootup sequence? [05:59] hmm, 5yr old laptop ehh [05:59] shcherbak: hmmm, I tried xubuntu live-cd...didn't work :( [05:59] liny_man: I tried slitaz... now I'm burning DSL [05:59] Suntzu: other option is to use external usbhub (if you have serial port it may work) [05:59] Hi... when you close a shell and reopen a new one, and you press the up key, it shows the last thing you typed, how do I delete that historial? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:00] Danny78: i never even heard of slitaz, so i am unable to help you there. [06:00] liny_man: well, we'll see if DSL does the trick [06:01] n-iCe, try history -c [06:01] shcherbak: nop...I have no way out....because the only thing I can use is the rj-45 port..so I think it would be a solution to send all my files to the desktop pc, via thin client...what do you think about it? [06:02] hm === arrty_ is now known as arrty [06:02] I'm very new with Ubuntu and Linux [06:02] Suntzu: lan? [06:02] how do I install .rpm [06:02] n-iCe, in ~/ is a file called .bash_history. gedit away ;) [06:02] I am trying to connect to a Win7 computer using Ubuntu and I keep getting "session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0". What does this mean? [06:02] christopher: you do not [06:02] ok [06:02] !alien [06:02] liny_man, slitaz is nice :) [06:02] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:03] Doinkle: yeah, got it, thanks [06:03] Doinkle: what is slitaz? [06:03] Alright. I'm looking to practise installing a program and I figured I could try nmap [06:03] christopher: what do you want to install? [06:03] Hello everyone! If anyone knows what could cause "No init found. Try passing init =bootarg." when trying to boot using my ATI graphics card? Ubuntu (and the CD for that matter) only boot succesfully using my onboard gfx card. Thanks if ya can help me with this! [06:03] shcherbak: well, the desktop pc has 2 network cards...so I thought it would be useful to connect the laptop to one of the cards [06:04] join #webkit [06:04] liny_man, a 30Mb linux distro. like dsl but better IMHO [06:04] Doinkle: Do you know any reason it wouldn't boot? [06:04] Hi , all , is there anyone who has installed sugarcrm on a server where apache is running as user nobody. [06:04] nmap [06:04] sir [06:04] Danny__, ??? [06:05] Doinkle: I just tried installing slitaz but it won't boot [06:05] Danny__, no idea. works fine for me [06:05] i dont use it much tho [06:05] Suntzu: less hussle would be to scp everything. [06:05] anyone? [06:05] christopher: nmap is in repos [06:06] !nmap [06:06] I'm sorry, I'm very new. What is repos? [06:06] christopher, software repositories [06:06] Ah [06:06] christopher: repos are just what we call software packages [06:06] sudo etc etc? [06:06] if you are "new", nmap isnt the best thing to start with :/ [06:06] shcherbak: scp? [06:06] christopher: sudo apt-get install nmap [06:06] christopher: sudo apt-get it. [06:07] So I can install it by using the terminal? [06:07] yup [06:07] Doinkle: what would you recommend starting with before nmap? [06:07] christopher: yes. [06:07] Awesome. [06:07] christopher, the stuff that gets installed when you invoke "sudo apt-get install..." comes from the repos [06:07] Thanks [06:07] Danny__, in what context? [06:07] I understand now [06:07] Suntzu: ssh tool [06:07] Doinkle: security, ethical hacking [06:07] Suntzu: like cp, but over ssh [06:07] how do I get to use switcher if there is no room for it on the panel [06:07] Is there a tutorial for Ubuntu noobs that want to learn more? [06:08] Danny__, check out some of the distros geared toward that. if you need examples let me know [06:08] christopher, best thing to do is just poke around, hang out here and ask questions as they occur. [06:08] Ok [06:08] christopher: yes, on ubuntu site [06:08] Will do, I hate annoying people though so just bear with me [06:08] Danny__, http://www.darknet.org.uk/2006/03/10-best-security-live-cd-distros-pen-test-forensics-recovery/ [06:08] Thanks guys [06:09] shcherbak: ahhhh ok...well, i have not used ssh yet...so I have to do it...but at least I can see that it could work, isn't it? [06:09] christopher, youtube has a ton of video tutorials too. worth checking out [06:09] christopher: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick [06:09] Have to admit, I'm liking it so far quite a lot. AH YOUTUBE! Why didn't I think of that. Youtube is the best tutor out there! [06:09] Thanks a lot. [06:10] Doinkle: I tried Fedora 14 Security Spin and couldn't even get it connected to the net, and it ran really slow, otherwise I';; have to see what's out there [06:11] Suntzu: It is quite complex setup, but yes it will work. [06:11] christopher: yep, Youtube and Google will guide you in the ways of ubuntu. :p [06:11] christopher, this is a good site http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/doku.php [06:11] I type cd /var/www/ after that I want to go into the koans folder, how do I do that? do I execute cd /var/www/koans ? or can I do something like cd /koans ? [06:11] I know it says not a newbie tutorial, but most of it is pretty self evident [06:12] j [06:12] Great! I appreciate it. I'll check the links out now. [06:12] anyone ? [06:13] Has anyone succesfully installed a (new) dedicated graphics card into a computer running Ubuntu ? [06:13] dr0id: type ls that will tell you the dir and file listing [06:13] shcherbak: well, I have to do it...one, because I have a lot of important files to rescue...two, because I want to use this laptop as the display of the desktop pc (x formarding, right?) [06:13] PryMaL: but I want to go into the koans directory [06:13] Doinkle: I heard of BackTrack and wanted to check it out, but I just found Ubuntu and it works... and I'm not sure how to dual boot linuix on linux [06:13] Dark_Spyro_003, most stick with nvidia [06:13] dr0id: whats ur question? [06:13] Danny__, why bother, just boot the live cd image. no need to install most of them [06:14] I want to go into /var/www/koans, not I first executed cd /var/www then what should I do ? [06:14] shall I do cd /var/www/koans then? or can I do something like cd /koans too ? [06:14] anyone else getting a nasty big memory leak when using empathy IM? [06:14] cd koans [06:14] Doinkle: does the distro have good documentation? [06:14] Anyone know why it keeps saying "session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0" when I try to use smbclient to connect to my Win7 box? [06:14] if you're familiar with it that is [06:14] dr0d they should both ork. [06:14] Danny__, hit the website relevant for that. this channel isn't really for this type of topic. [06:14] Doinkle: I realise that most people stick with Nvidia, I would too but I still had this card lying around. [06:14] Dark_Spyro_003, what card? [06:15] guampa: cool, that works here :P wasn't working yesterday in the laptop lol [06:15] it always does [06:15] also try to use the tab key for completion [06:15] it speeds things up [06:15] empathy IM - anyone else having a memory leak issue with it? [06:15] Doinkle: It's an ATI Radeon HD 4600. LiveCD doesn't boot with it, and neither does my Ubuntu installation itself. [06:15] Dark_Spyro_003, i mentioned nividia because many who come in here and ask your type of question usually leave with nvidia being the more stable choice [06:16] hey, where can i dl the SDL 2graphic library? [06:16] What's a good photo editing program for Lucid? [06:16] Ok I'll be back later. See you. [06:17] mindlesscoder: Did you mean Simple DirectMedia Layer? http://www.libsdl.org/ [06:17] Inumedia: gimp [06:17] Inumedia: gimp. [06:17] media, gimp [06:17] Inumedia, gthumb for basic stuff, GIMP for heavy-duty editing [06:17] Damn can't believe I completely forgot about Gimp [06:17] Thanks. [06:17] inkscape also [06:17] hi [06:17] Dark_Spyro_003, i found a web page on that card. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [06:17] lol [06:17] i am copy pasting gedit snippet xml files from one computer to other but even after pasting the xml files stay empty(previous version) [06:17] what should i do to import them ? [06:18] mindlesscoder, @ me ? [06:18] Dark_Spyro_003, my work pc has radeon but it just worked when i installed ubuntu on it [06:18] hi [06:18] dark_spyro_003, how do i install the library to my gcc compiler... [06:18] i deleted the files and pasted new files but still the new files seem empty after being pasted in gnome2/gedit/snippets [06:18] any idea how I can delete that log directory? it won't go away even as root https://skitch.com/gregmoreno/r89ek/ubuntu-running [06:18] where can I go to find irc channels for security testing? [06:19] goodbye ya'll! [06:20] Danny__, ##security [06:20] Doinkle: I've already visited that page and it was no help to me. The system stops at No init found. Try passing init =bootarg. the busybox screen, that is. Same for the installation CD and various linux liveCDs [06:20] Dark_Spyro_003, ahh. sorry i cant help :/ [06:21] patcito: never seen that [06:21] Nisstyre65: it's invite only unfortunately [06:21] Doinkle: Thanks for trying anyway. The onboard card will do for now [06:22] Dark_Spyro_003, give it another shot when natty is out [06:22] Doinkle: Thanks, will do! [06:23] muhaha [06:25] hey can anyone help/direct me on using/obtaining the sdl library [06:26] how well would 10.10 run on a 2.8gHz p4, 256mb ram? [06:26] Danny__, no [06:26] hai to [06:26] you have to register your nick [06:26] -Notice- {from NickServ} Danny__ is not registered. === Danny__ is now known as Danny78 [06:26] do any know about NAT [06:27] evilbug, you should run a different flavor of ubuntu [06:27] ...can explain it [06:27] evilbug, like xubuntu or lubuntu... it will run much faster than ubuntu 10.10 [06:27] Dark_Spyro_033: I had the same problem you are having and mine is a Radeon graphics card as well i end up just using the onboard [06:27] mindlesscoder: this computer used to run xp sp2 so is 10.10 heavier than xp? [06:28] evilbug: Hell no [06:28] evilbug, that's hard to say [06:28] evilbug, well yes and no. [06:28] lol how is it? [06:28] evilbug, you can install ubuntu, then use LXDE instead of gnome if you wanted to. [06:28] first2none, how do you figure? [06:28] mindlesscoder: That's what I'm doing aswell right now =P never had good luck with this ATI card anyway. [06:29] same... ati cards are AWALL on linux [06:29] Doinkle: i was considering xubuntu. [06:29] Nisstyre65: sorry, I haven't used IRC in a while [06:29] Hmm idk to me ubuntu is 10x faster then xp i have on another harddrive they both have ran on the same computer with same specs [06:29] saying a modern OS being less intensive as a 10-year old OS isn't an accurate depiction [06:29] i agree [06:29] don't listen to first2none [06:29] is there an xbmc channel... i know off topic [06:29] I see what you mean [06:29] lol yea nvm hehe [06:29] i was also considering installing ubuntu 8. [06:29] 8.04 [06:29] 10.10... needs more ran to run a enjoyable environment [06:30] how can i update an install of 6.04 to 10 [06:30] evilbug, check out crunchbang if you want current kernel with lightweight feel.. or x/lubuntu [06:30] anty, simply through update manager [06:30] i had an old disk laying around and put it on a box... but edgy isn't supported anymore [06:30] doesn't work [06:30] arrty: There was no 6.04, do you mean 6.06? [06:31] arrty, it isn't worth it, but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade many times might do it [06:31] Doinkle: cool, i'll go with xubuntu then. [06:31] Which option in settings makes a noise when someone speaks to me directly? === guampa is now known as guampafk [06:31] yes won't updating it to 10.10 be kinda hard?? or time consuming? [06:31] Doinkle: it's for someone not very computer savvy who needs an easy gui. [06:31] how well does the 11.4 alpha work? [06:32] evilbug, if you want something that might run better than ubuntu try lubuntu it's less intensive but still runs the same as (x)ubuntu [06:32] Ohelig, i found it "unfinished".. it works but its not worth playing with yet [06:33] what are the major changes in 11.4 besides adding Untiy which, in my opinion, is not much of an "upgrade" [06:33] there is no 11.4 [06:33] is 10.10 worth the upgrade from 10.04???? [06:33] hi, which is the best tool for movie making for ubuntu 10.10 [06:33] what are the major changes in 11.4 alpha besides adding Untiy which, in my opinion, is not much of an "upgrade" [06:33] all i really do is surf web and devel.... [06:33] :) [06:34] should i go ubuntu for a staging server or something else? [06:34] mindlesscoder: i'll go with xubuntu and see how that runs, if it's still slow then i'll go lxde. [06:34] evilbug, it's up to you [06:34] thanks for the help, guys. [06:34] its not a particularly fast box [06:34] evilbug, tell me how it works out though... i'm curious to see what 256 mb is [06:35] hi, which is the best tool for movie making on ubuntu 10.10 [06:35] mindlesscoder: well i have xubuntu 10.10 running flawlessly on an eeepc. [06:35] mindlesscoder: 1gb ram though :) [06:36] any games to download for ubuntu [06:36] night all [06:36] evilbug, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [06:36] well linux isnt a gaming platform, its weaker than mac there. but try the software center there's some [06:37] hi, which is the best tool for movie making on ubuntu 10.10 [06:37] Cant promise they'll be great [06:37] kelly? [06:37] kelly, www.playdeb.com [06:37] bucky: yeah, i know. still will try it though. [06:37] evilbug, nice... what's your focus on ur pcs? just setting up servers or somethign? [06:37] How to check on the command line if the X server is running? [06:38] kelly, I find Tumiki Fighters and Liquid War to be fun games [06:38] that site is in japanese or something [06:38] how to alow one command to run sudo without password ? i need to trestarting net fror jdownloader [06:38] sudo... without password? [06:38] how can i update my gnu panel [06:38] what is this witchcraft you speak of [06:38] i need to run sudo withotu asking of password [06:38] how hard is it to install ubuntu over the network using the net installer [06:38] JackOfHearts: if you google for you will see lots of articles about how to configure it. [06:39] mindlesscoder: my girlfriend has an old computer and i'm trying to get it back up without using windows. she keeps getting viruses and things on it. [06:39] mindlesscoder: i figured linux should be more efficient. [06:39] remove your account's password is the only way I assume [06:39] pff SwedeMike im using "im to lay to use debian distro" so im asking on irc instead of googling [06:39] Chandrageetha, you need movie editing? [06:40] otherwise, trying to sudo without a password is like trying to open a lock with a bowling pin [06:41] that's not a fair analogy if you can actually do the latter [06:42] question! I assume that for the ps3 iso files of ubuntu, the ps3 must still have the "Install Other OS" option? [06:43] hello, i use kubuntu hardy heron and have installed the proprietary nvidia driver. After it everything was good but after i rebooted the system the display remains dark. What can i do? [06:43] Ohelig: ps3 no longer supports that [06:43] i know [06:48] people, when i try to connect to my server which has ssh up and running with port 22 open, i get an error "ssh: connect to host 192.168.x.xx port 22: Connection refused" [06:49] How can i customize Ubuntu from installed system? [06:49] fast questioon i got bash script : its sudo /marcusdavidus/.neo/linnet -r than i want it to w8 than run the same command with -p how to breake it ? imtotally bash n00b [06:49] i am trying to connect using username and password [06:51] people, when i try to connect to my server which has ssh up and running with port 22 open, i get an error "ssh: connect to host 192.168.x.xx port 22: Connection refused" i am trying to connect using username and password [06:51] any news on a ubuntu tablet? [06:51] is there any software maintaining that needs to occur with Ubuntu for the system to continue to run smoothly over time? [06:52] whutup [06:52] can anybody help me with this ssh issue ? [06:52] how do I restore the desktop icons without logging out? [06:53] can someone help me with this error i get in mint 9 isadora xfce x64 Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-dev_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.2_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] [06:53] raviepic3: does that user password exist on the ssh host you try to login to? [06:54] I have always been under the impression that Ubuntu (and more generally, Linux) was not in need of maintaining, at least not in the way Windowz needs it. However I have found that after leaving my system on for longer than a day almost always demands a reboot to get things running smoothly again ... [06:54] sacarlson, yes it does [06:54] TuxNoBux: the folder is not there, as you have it [06:54] so srlsy guys? i winn not read 200 page bash manuals to just make script to run 2 comands [06:54] TuxNoBux: 404, no such place [06:54] raviepic3: what do the /var/log/auth.log file say on that ssh host? [06:54] sacarlson, even if it dosent will it say port 22: connection refused ? [06:54] sacarlson, i do not have access to the server yet [06:55] raviepic3: no it should ask for password unless you have it set to only accept keys [06:55] !mint [06:55] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:55] hmm [06:55] sacarlson, exactly, and i am sure it is not set to accept only keys [06:55] how can i make an init script to run earlier then another one? [06:55] raviepic3: it would also be that iptables has port 22 filetered [06:56] sacarlson, how do i proceed ? [06:56] i'm having an issue creating my ext4 partition on fakeraid... I get "The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of Serial ATA RAID isw_iiieehdb_OS (stripe) failed." using the mini.iso 10.10 (and 11.04) [06:56] !gentoo [06:56] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [06:56] !ubunazists [06:56] :P [06:56] sacarlson, other people in same network are able to connect to same server with port 22 [06:56] im kinda new to this version do you know were the folder is [06:56] raviepic3: you need access to the remote host to find the problem [06:57] sacarlson, shoudl i install ssh server in my machine for this ? [06:57] I have also noticed in more recent times that application which worked very well previously have become fraught with issues, Skype and Flash to name a couple ... [06:57] or ssh client alone is enough ? [06:57] sounds like a stupid question though [06:57] raviepic3: other people where on the local lan? it could be you don't have port 22 forwarded to that server from wan [06:57] sacarlson, yes local lan [06:58] how do I restart the gnome session? [06:58] raviepic3: no you don't need ssh server on your clients side [06:58] i can only disable my touchpad temporaraly [06:58] sacarlson, whats the way to see that my ip is getting blocked by server on port 22 ? [06:58] raviepic3: sounds like a route problem on your host net not setup to accept port 22 from wan [06:59] partman: could not stat /dev/mapper/isw_blahblah_OS1 --- No such file or directory [06:59] raviepic3: you need to see sudo iptables -l on the host and the router that it hooks through to access wan [07:00] raviepic3: I assume you don't filter port 22 on your client side [07:00] how do i check that ? [07:00] how can i perminantly turn off the touchpad (without a hammer) [07:00] i am able to ssh into my own machine [07:00] raviepic3: sudo iptable -l [07:01] anyone know anything about maintaining the Ubuntu OS? [07:01] using ssh username@myip.com [07:01] raviepic3: sudo iptables -L [07:01] and it gets into [07:01] output of sudo iptables --list http://pastebin.com/HURdbbsM [07:01] raviepic3: you can filter so that local will work even with wan [07:02] raviepic3: looks open [07:02] sacarlson, sorry i didnt get that, you saying my system is blocked for port 22 right now ? [07:02] ok [07:02] raviepic3: problem must be on host side [07:02] how do i ping the ip with a particular port number to see its replying me back ? [07:03] sacarlson, ^ [07:03] raviepic3: you sure that ssh is on port 22 at the host? I never use port 22 [07:03] i just did ssh username@serverip [07:03] and it gave me that port 22 error [07:03] usually port 22 is used for ftp right ? [07:03] raviepic3: I"m not sure you can try scan System>admin>network tools> scan tab [07:04] i installed gdesklets, if i start it, i see an empty window, nothing else happend. [07:04] did i need additional intalled packages? [07:04] Is there anyone that can help a Ubuntu newbe with a dead gub problem? '-' [07:04] grub* [07:04] raviepic3: no port 22 is the default for ssh or sftp , but many (like me) don't use port 22 for security reasons [07:05] Xyresic: what kind of install? [07:05] raviepic3: talk to your system admin to verify that port 22 is the port they use [07:05] is there a way to have a panel or docky in gnome show the contents of a folder (say ~/Desktop)? [07:05] Uhm... [07:05] Ubuntu 10.10 [07:06] !grub | Xyresic [07:06] Xyresic: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:06] Xyresic: describe the grub issue????? [07:06] Well, I didn't lose it with a windows install [07:06] How do I change mac adress with Ubuntu [07:07] I was making a new partition in Window's diskmgmt and I think that broke grub '-' === jack is now known as Guest6411 [07:07] Xyresic: did you do a wubi install? [07:07] sacarlson, yes 22 is the one [07:07] Because the next thing that happened was windows bluescreened after trying to make the partition and grub died [07:07] No, it wasn't wubi [07:08] Also [07:08] Xyresic: can you access windows? [07:08] When I booted from the live disk, I somehow had /dev/sda1-60 [07:08] No, I can't... grub goes into recovery mode [07:08] And I don't have 60 partitions [07:08] need help with using fakeraid (software raid doesnt support grub boot from raid0)...anyone? wiki doesnt have answers [07:08] Xyresic: Sounds like a severely broken partition table. [07:08] Like, a lot of the partitions repeated theself S: [07:09] Is there a fix? D;? [07:09] raviepic3: is there any other ports active on the server to verify that your ip is correct? [07:09] Xyresic: What is the output of "sudo parted -l"? [07:09] Xyresic: you had a working windows system before as your boot os? [07:09] Yea, I did [07:10] Well, i had a working windows + ubuntu dual boot [07:10] But when I tried to ad a new partition from unallocated spaec on windows it died === Guest6411 is now known as thx1138 [07:10] Jpapertowels: I think that grub2 actually does support booting from raid0. [07:10] Xyresic: I would suggest you first restore the MBR with a restore disk [07:10] Jordan_U: sec, lemme get onto the live disk again [07:11] Like, with a Windows restore CD? [07:11] Xyresic: yeah [07:11] how come my touchpad wont stay off? [07:11] Jordan_U: every time i boot with software raid, my bios does not detect any bootable thing on my ssds [07:11] although the installation appears to succeed without errors [07:12] Jpapertowels: How did you try to setup software RAID? [07:12] hi where can I get to see a color card like they use in video so I can tell if my monitors colors are good? [07:13] How do I change mac adress with Ubuntu [07:13] Jordan_U: mini.iso... 10.10 amd64... expert install uhh I created 2 raid partitions on each drive exactly the same, 1 for ext4 / and 1 for swap then went into software raid setup and turned them into raid devices in raid0 then continued on [07:13] OrangePeel: System > Preferences > Network Connections. [07:14] After getting BD support on linux, is there a way (like anydvd on windows) to let you skip the unskippable garbage before the movie? [07:14] sacarlson, well yeah, a nmap scan gave me that 80,427,443,902, 5989 are open [07:14] How ? [07:15] i really need to turn off the touchpad [07:15] Jordan_U, how [07:15] after i'm there [07:15] Jpapertowels: Can you run boot info script as explained here (from a liveCD): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [07:15] Jordan_U: It gives a error, "can't have overlapping partitions" [07:16] I still can't get my 500MHz to boot... opened it up and switched cables around, checked jumpers.. starts to boot then freezes [07:16] OrangePeel: Select "Auto eth0" (for ethernet) then "Edit connection". [07:16] Also something about unable to open /dev/sr0 read-wite [07:17] Jordan_U: i dont have a live cd and it will take years to download one using 1 megabit adsl [07:17] And a warning about the driver descriptor say the pysical block size is 512 bytes, but linux says it is 2048 bytes [07:17] Jordan_U, [07:17] which is the recomemded channel for kernel development discussion ? [07:17] Jordan_U, what would I change it too.... [07:18] OrangePeel: Why do you want to change it?

[07:20] raviepic3: ok that sounds like you got the right place then [07:20] zhao 康豪 [07:20] OrangePeel: Changing your mac address won't do anything for that, and trying to get around the ban using tricks rather than just talking to whoever banned you (like #ubuntu-ops for Ubuntu core channels) will only get you banned longer for trying to evade.

[07:23] or is that an extremely bad idea with an ssd raid [07:23] Jpapertowels: Yes, if you're absolutely sure that you never want to access any data on that drive again (and that you have the correct device). [07:23] A minor victory! my old comp detected a HDD I put in and is going to be able to format it [07:24] checking for bad sectors first [07:24] I might give Ubuntu mini another chance first [07:25] no one knows?

[07:32] trying to install clonezilla live on usb hd [07:32] hi all [07:32] may i know you? [07:32] thx1138: disable it from bios [07:32] hi all, got a bit of a problem. Ubuntu reports my "Filesystem root" is almost full. I had the same error today and removed a large number of stuff, even moving my files in /home to another drive and that left 2.8GB free. I'm now getting reports of only 384MB being free. Any ideas what's going on? I've already run Comp Janitor [07:32] goddard, it takes a very long time to download it all. it's not practical. what's your situation? [07:32] linux, who?

[07:33] morning [07:33] maybe reboot [07:33] Ohelig: Oh, I see, thx === root is now known as Guest96742 [07:33] i vote for emptying trash [07:33] tripelb: trash is empty [07:33] reboot? [07:33] somethinginteres, maybe your drive is actually filling up :| [07:34] Guest96742: srsly going in to irc from rot acoiunt? [07:34] I must sleep. zzz [07:34] root* [07:34] somethinginteres, which tool did you use to check your disk usage? [07:34] somethinginteres: check that /var/cache/apt/archives is empty [07:35] psycho_oreos: just a right click on the drive itself as well as disk usage analyzer [07:35] somethinginteres, you should see what files have been modified recently. Maybe that will give you a clue what's going on [07:35] ok i want to install ubuntu-desktop package but without openoffice and all those other programs but still have working sound, etc. whats the best way to do that? [07:36] uninstall them after install [07:36] :3 [07:36] great spend 8 hours downloading OO just to uninstall it lol :( [07:36] it isn't that large [07:36] eat my dialup speed dsl [07:37] ciao a tutti [07:37] FreezyFreaky: how can I do that? gobbe: that seems to have a number of debs in it. Though the loss of 1GB+ space still seems odd but I'll remove everything in there. Thanks [07:37] JackOfHearts: well, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:37] JackOfHearts: aah, sorry :( [07:37] ^ [07:37] somethinginteres, hmm I personally would use command line tool `df -h' myself. There is another way to check which directory is using lots of space but I have to warn you that the tool is very hard drive intensive [07:37] Jpapertowels: well, then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:38] gobbe: thats what i'm using, im logged in and using su ready to apt-get [07:38] somethinginteres... are you, i don't know, downloading anything? [07:38] Jpapertowels: use dselect [07:38] Jpapertowels: or sudo tasksel [07:38] Ohelig: not at all, especially not after clearing the drive after the first warning today. [07:39] psycho_oreos: will run that [07:39] alright [07:39] mayhaps it's a virus [07:39] the drive is a 1TB just FYI [07:39] how would i turn it (touchpad) off in bios [07:40] JackofHearts: Hi, hope all's well\ [07:40] also = thx1138 [07:40] ledfeather: just browse it, there should be option for that [07:40] gobbe: no adverse affects from removing the items in that folder? [07:40] somethinginteres, there's a tool known as `du -h --max-depth=1 /' which can be used to slowly find the place where lots of data is being used.. you might want to skip certain directories under rootfs like /proc, /dev, /mnt, /media, etc [07:40] ledfeather: or atleast i have had such option in every laptio i had in past 13 years [07:41] somethinginteres: that's cache-temp for your package installs and updates [07:41] Has anyone used a touch-pad laptop with Ubuntu? Did you like having a touch-screen laptop? [07:41] i need help transfering files from ubuntu to windows [07:41] somethinginteres: so if there's lots of stuff you can delete them [07:41] ok, maybe im doing it wrong. how do i get to the bios [07:41] somethinginteres: How large is /var/log? [07:41] Hi I am mounting a network drive, anyway I am editing fstab and I am following a guide, the guide says add this line: /// // cifs credentials=/home//.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0------What should I put in and ? [07:42] ledfeather: depends, ususally pressing esc, delete, f12, f2 or something during bootup [07:42] ah I see from df -h that the / partition is only 10GB - not sure why my /home is 800GB ^-^ [07:42] ledfeather: check from your laptops manual [07:42] after an install of 9.10 unable to get or install packages [07:42] somethinginteres, no there isn't, they are just a place to store downloaded debs and usually when installation/upgrade finishes the cache stays there. Deleting them, removing unwanted packages once they were installed and later changing mind will make the package managers download them [07:42] Does anyone know if Ubuntu supports touchscreens? [07:42] ok. at f2 i know i cant get there. and esc only gets me to a boot selector [07:42] somethinginteres: if you are using lvm you can reduce size of home and move it to / [07:42] i keep getting an error message when i try to access my hd [07:42] Danny78 yes [07:43] who do i ask for help im very new to linux [07:43] Danny78: It does, but like with any type of hardware some devices are better supported than others. [07:43] psycho_oreos: OK thanks gobbe: sorry, not sure what lvm is [07:43] well i finally got fakeraid to work apparently it fails if you already have a partition table on it when you boot the installer, when i dd'd through it and created a new table within the installer it successfully partitioned [07:43] magik, what does the error say [07:43] !ask | MAGIK_NINJA [07:43] MAGIK_NINJA: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:43] E:/ is not accessible.The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted. [07:43] I take lots of notes, but I'm not sure if I'd like scribbling on a touch pad/screen [07:43] somethinginteres, stuff to do with RAID mainly imo is what lvm is [07:43] gobbe: If it is something default then I'd probably be using it. Giving / more space definately seems the best move. I didn't realise the partition was so small [07:43] it has very important files on it [07:43] somethinginteres: what does sudo /sbin/lvdisplay say? [07:44] maybe I can take one for a test spin, lol [07:44] one of them uses FAT32 and the other uses NSFT? [07:44] i think is what it means [07:44] MAGIK_NINJA: What OS are you using? [07:44] gobbe: getting a "not found" on that cmd [07:44] windows 7 [07:44] and ubuntu [07:45] MAGIK_NINJA: you should ask it from #windows-channel then [07:45] somethinginteres, there's another thing you can do which may not be ideal is to re-tune the size of reserved space if its ext3/4 based. This will give you more space but may cause the fs to be more fragmented or easily fragmented [07:45] MAGIK_NINJA: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Try ##windows for windows support. [07:45] MAGIK_NINJA: there's no volumes with letters in ubuntu [07:45] well the problem is with ubuntu [07:45] MAGIK_NINJA: no it's not [07:45] MAGIK_NINJA: you are trying to access something from windows [07:45] couldnt install xchat or ubuntu-extras there seems to be an issue w/ a microsoft font [07:45] i saved the files to the hd using ubuntu, and now i cant access the drive without formating it in windows yess [07:46] That's a problem with windows. [07:46] MAGIK_NINJA: that's because windows doesn't support filesystem of ubuntu [07:46] MAGIK_NINJA: and it's windows issue then [07:46] so is there a way to put them back using ubuntu? [07:46] MAGIK_NINJA: back where? [07:46] i took the files from the hd with windows installed on it and put them on an empty hd, can i transfer files from the drive back to the main hd with windows? [07:46] hello [07:46] magik [07:47] i did all this in ubuntu [07:47] try taking them off of the windows drive while on ubuntu [07:47] oh [07:47] Magik: Only if you formatted the drive as ntfs or fat [07:47] hi axlin [07:47] MAGIK_NINJA: Yes. You can copy files from your Ubuntu partition to your windows partition (While booted into Ubuntu). [07:47] psycho_oreos: it is ext4 I believe, I wouldn't like the extra fragmentation though [07:48] Uhm, sorta unrelated, but after destroying grub, I'm trying to get the windows mbr back, but the windows cd gets suck at the loading screen, anyone know why? '-' [07:48] hello [07:48] jordan_U i tried that, but in ubuntu i it doesnt show the drive with windows installed on it. [07:48] MAGIK_NINJA: you need to mount it to ubuntu [07:48] magik, you have 2 seperate drives? or 1 drive with 2 partitions [07:48] Linux Live USB creator is so... groovy [07:48] Xyresic: I can walk you through installing a windows style mbr from within Ubuntu. [07:49] somethinginteres, *nods* fair enough, I've never tried re-adjusting the size of reserved blocks but then again with ext4 one might be able to defragment it.. unlike ext3 which is what I've got my 1.5TB setup as has no online defragmenter [07:49] There's also that partiton problem I was hoping the windows live cd might catch though '-' [07:49] Hi all MAGIK_NINJA to read or write windows partitions you have to munt it firts [07:50] whit program called "ntfs-3g" you will be able to do that [07:50] Xyresic: Can you run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output? I seem to remember fdisk fixing this type of problem automatically to a certain extent before. [07:50] Alright [07:51] ddd [07:51] I don't think I can pastebin though Jordan_U [07:51] for example ---> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ [07:51] Xyresic: try rescuecd live linux distro it got ncie apps to help with partitons [07:51] expecially "testdisk" [07:51] excuse me for example ---> mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /mnt [07:51] if testdisk dotn fix it nothing will [07:52] testdisk? [07:52] Xyresic: Why not? (By the way, I agree with JackOfHearts that testdisk will probably be able to fix this). [07:52] psycho_oreos: so I just cleared the package cache and that got rid of 700MB of space and saved a document in LibreOffice and suddenly I have "3MB" of space left.. how strange [07:52] Nevermind, I made a mistake, I should be able to pastebin [07:52] did you read me MAGIK_NINJA ? [07:52] somethinginteres, the files aren't actually being deleted, are you deleting them from console or using file manager? [07:53] i dont see an option in my bios for the touchpad... one for usb, sure [07:53] ok i have a 500 gb hd with windows 7 installed, and a secondary 150gb hd with nothing on it but my files music, movies, games, etc. i tried to install ubuntu 9.10 from a disk someone burned for me, it was scratched or something because it didnt work right, and then when i tried to load windows i got some kind of problem with GRUB, couldnt fix that withought reinstalling windows 7, so i took all my files from the 500 gb hd with win7 [07:53] Xyresic: this diskis on samepc like this one ur on ? if yes just instakll testdisk is in repos [07:53] No, it's my laptop [07:53] also: every time i restart my computer locks up [07:53] just barely running it from the disk, so then i reinstalled windows, and now when i try to access that 150 gb hd from windows it gives me the error message i wrote before [07:53] does that cover it all? [07:54] I'm running a live USB for the laptop [07:54] im starting to get a little annoyed [07:54] psycho_oreos: terminal. Directly after deletion the GUI and terminal report the space being free but yeah.. [07:54] psycho_oreos: clearly not.. [07:54] MAGIK_NINJA: you need to boot to ubuntu to be able to copy those files [07:54] MAGIK_NINJA: there's no support in windows for ext-filesyste [07:55] somethinginteres, to me it sounds like they are being placed somewhere or there could be another reason that changes aren't being written directly [07:55] gobbe: ok so how do i do that again? i cant find the 500gb hd with windows when im in ubuntu? [07:55] something about mounting the drive? [07:55] MAGIK_NINJA: yes. you need to mount that drive to ubuntu [07:55] psycho_oreos: should I maybe restart my machine? [07:55] ok remake you MBR [07:56] gobbe: and how do i do that? [07:56] MAGIK_NINJA: You should be able to find it by going to Places > Computer. [07:56] who would use ubuntu these days when you have windows 7? [07:56] MAGIK_NINJA: (The "Places" menu is at the top left of the screen). [07:56] remake your MBR of HW [07:56] jordan: thats where i looked but only like some sort of partition or backup part of it is there [07:56] psycho_oreos: either way I'd love to be able to resize / b/c clearly 10GB is far too little space [07:56] How do you copy terminal text? [07:56] MAGIK_NINJA, is the external a ext or NTFS [07:56] somethinginteres, restart would be the last resort I would try [07:56] !ot | AndIrc_8 [07:56] AndIrc_8: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:56] whats ot [07:56] MAGIK_NINJA: first you have to identify the device ---> sudo fdisk -l [07:57] psycho_oreos: OK. I've no ideas myself. Very much a linux/ubuntu n00b so anything is new territory for me [07:57] nit-wit: its not external, its a drive in the pc, and i think its ntfs [07:57] AndIrc_8: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. Please take other discussions elsewhere. [07:57] somethinginteres, I do recall there's a tool inside repository that can show you how much each directory and their sub directory is taking up on hard disk. Something like treesize pro on windows if you have ever used it [07:58] i cant remember what its called, but the large 500 gb drive is new and has small plugs with less needles, and the small one 150gb is an old drive that has the ribbon strips to connect it [07:58] somethinginteres: psycho_oreos: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analizer in a standard Ubuntu install. [07:58] MAGIK_NINJA, can you open a partitioner and find out, so it is not seen by W7 correct. [07:58] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/dKV6mddd [07:58] MAGIK_NINJA: give us the out put of ---> sudo fdisk -l [07:58] Jordan_U, hmm or bonobo iirc haven't tried disk usage analyser myself but bonobo might be just that [07:58] Jordan_U: running a scan now [07:59] hello [07:59] where can i find ubuntu one? [07:59] in the menu [07:59] nit-wit: its a WDC WD1600JB-00FUA0 ATA Device [08:00] where should i be seeing my touchpad in the bios because unless ive gone blind i dont see it [08:00] does that help? [08:00] System > Preferences > Ubuntu One [08:00] thanks [08:00] MAGIK_NINJA, sre you in W7 [08:00] *are [08:00] fishscene, any luck with dhcp ? [08:00] nit-wit: yes right now i am [08:00] woah whats it mean when the ubuntu installer freezes at "debootstrap: gpgv: Good signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key "" [08:00] it doesnt start :/ [08:01] MAGIK_NINJA: well, again, you need to boot to ubuntu and mount the disk there, you cannot do anything with it from windows [08:01] nit-wit: i only have wifi so i cant connect to the internet in ubuntu [08:01] gobbe: im sorry if you already told me but i might have missed it, how do i mount the disk? [08:01] !mount| MAGIK_NINJA [08:01] MAGIK_NINJA: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:01] So uhm... where do you find testdisk? [08:02] MAGIK_NINJA: read the mount-link you just got [08:02] gobbe:ok thanks [08:02] geirha: querry [08:02] MAGIK_NINJA, in the admin account open the disk manager and look to see if it shows if it does take a screen shot/snippet and imagebin it.http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [08:03] Jordan_U psycho_oreos: few folder seem to have around 400MB in them e.g. /var/log [08:04] Jordan_U psycho_oreos: and /lib/modules seems to have old kernels.. maybe? [08:04] nit-wit: in windows, or ubuntu? [08:04] MAGIK_NINJA, do you actually have a linux install? [08:04] somethinginteres, some of the files in /var/log can be deleted/compressed, just make sure that using the tool `file' to see if they are actually ASCII data [08:04] MAGIK_NINJA: or jus type sudo mkdir /media/whatnameuwant sudo /mount /dev/sd* (name of disk) /media/nameofcatalogu make [08:04] nit-wit i have ubuntu installed on the same drive as windows [08:05] i installed it from in windows [08:05] and when i boot it asks if i want to choose windows or ubuntu [08:05] i have the newer verseion now [08:05] MAGIK_NINJA, well your getting lots of hits here so to speak, so it seems others feel they have the answer [08:05] lol uhh in expert installer i used alt+f4 to read what was going on and now I can't get back to the ui [08:05] when i saved the files i had 9.10 running off a disk in the dvd-drive [08:05] somethinginteres, yeah they would go by usually /lib/modules/`uname -r` for currently running kernel, older ones would also mean that older kernels may also be installed.. I would probably retain 2 failbacks apart from the main one [08:06] wow im lost [08:07] psycho_oreos: seems to be the current setup I've got .24, .23, and .22 [08:07] MAGIK_NINJA: with what i told u what to do read querry [08:07] stuck on "Retrieving libpopt0..." what can i do [08:07] MAGIK_NINJA: 9.10 is the version of ubuntu you are using ? [08:07] somethinginteres, seems like each would be taking alot then if you only have 3 kernels [08:07] is depends on what ddrive u got files u want to mount [08:08] jackofhearts. ok so im reading that link, it says somethign about accessing fiels on the mounted drive, but what i want to do is add files to the mounted drive, is taht possible? [08:08] its ntfs? [08:08] come on querry /private chat/ [08:08] curiousx- no 9.10 is what i was using when i screwed up windows and had to move my files in the first place, now i have the newest one i downloaded from teh site and installed on my drive next to windows [08:08] mybe you might update to 11.04 or 10.10 and get the wireless card working [08:09] hello i have install lamp server but php5 doesn t work on userdir :-s [08:09] !11.04 [08:09] 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.

Are you booting both OS/ Is it you can't access the 150 gig drive? [08:11] psycho_oreos: thanks for helping me out.

[08:11] help please, my ubuntu software center, ubuntu one and banshee just dont start and do nothing [08:12] somethinginteres, mine averages around 90-100MB each (and I have 15 kernel versions including current one) so if you delete one or two you may only free up around a quarter of a CD size or less [08:13] psycho_oreos: looks like the solution is going to be to resize "/" but that might not be possible, is that correct? [08:13] somethinginteres, well if you have linux on a single hard disk, you can [08:13] somethinginteres: like i told you earlier, if you are using lvm's it is possible. and i asked you to run one command to see that are you [08:14] gobbe: not sure if my msg to you got through earlier, I got a "command not found" on the command you asked me to run [08:14] somethinginteres: ok, so you are not running lvm's then [08:15] hello [08:15] hello wad [08:15] just hello..

[08:27] okay i really messed up. i just need to know how do i set a home directory for a user in command line [08:28] ok canadian mirror it is then, maybe its friendlier [08:28] the home directory is setted in passwd file === root is now known as Guest61806 [08:29] hello [08:29] you have to change the correct line in /etc/passwd [08:29] can somebody teach me === hekos is now known as Hekos [08:29] okay well basically i need to access that file and change it back, somehow it got screwed up and not I am getting in command line: No Directory, logging in with HOME=/ [08:29] theamazingbeat: so what did you do? [08:29] i am very newbie so i dont know how to do it [08:30] theamazingbeat: move your home-directory to somewhere else? [08:30] theamazingbeat: what does ls -l /home say? [08:30] hello there [08:30] I was messing with mounting with setting up a network drive and when i rebooted i got an error: could not update ICEauthority file [08:30] as well as another [08:30] i have install gnome-shell, and i love it from the first second. BUT it runs realy realy slow on Maverick. Any Idea, what the Problem could be? [08:30] is it possible to create a bootable ubuntu server USB stick from OS X? [08:31] anyone can help with setting up a matrox card driver on meerkat ? [08:31] adios amigos... thak you for helping ubuntu comunity a hug from Argentina, good bye =) [08:31] augustl: yes, there's also howto in ubuntu.com for that [08:31] it has 2 lines [08:31] augustl: arggh..sorry, wrong guy [08:31] gobbe: it doesn't become bootable [08:31] ah ok :) [08:31] one says alien-my user profile [08:31] another says root [08:31] How to check on the command line if the X server is running? [08:31] what is the name of the default power button that shows up in the upper-right corner? I deleted it from my panel, don't want to reset the panel, and can't find it again [08:31] augustl: nvm, i need coffee. i tried to write to you ;) [08:32] augustl: well, just do it without altering the iso, dd if=image.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=1m [08:32] that won't boot will it? [08:32] but here is the thing at the end of the line of root is the word: Ware-which is the remote username that the drive was located at, so i messed that up pretty bad [08:32] augustl: why wouldnt it? [08:32] what r u all talking about [08:32] lahwran: Indicator Applet Session [08:33] augustl: did you try to do it the way they say in ubuntu.com? [08:33] augustl: gobbe: That would not make a bootable disk. [08:33] gobbe: isn't CD boot records different from other boot records? [08:33] ah just barely found that, bullgard4 [08:33] gobbe: yeah I followed the download page instructions [08:33] bullgard4: ps -A, and look for an 'Xorg' process [08:33] seems like it assumes I am to boot the usb stick on a mac though [08:33] i just installed meerkat on my old pc, sounds great except the upper and lower panels do not show up!! [08:33] sooooo? [08:33] augustl: gobbe: To be more precise, it would create a disk that was only bootable on EFI (intel mac) systems. [08:33] perhaps the usb stick is bootable on a mac, but I want to boot it on a PC [08:33] bullgard4: I'd love it it didn't have the "click for user status" stuff .. [08:33] Jordan_U: I see, thanks [08:33] augustl: yes, that's what happens if you do it with the way they have there, if you just push it to usb with dd it should work [08:34] augustl: You're welcome. [08:34] i am unable to turn on bootable flag for my /boot partition does that matter or no [08:34] theamazingbeat, paste the ls output [08:34] Jpapertowels: no [08:34] Jordan_U: you happen to know how one can make bootable disks or usb sticks from CD images? [08:34] how? [08:34] Jpapertowels: what does matter is that you install grub properly [08:34] i am in the command line via Ctrl+Alt+F1 [08:34] lahwran: oh i don't see that happening anytime soon [08:35] Jpapertowels: ... [08:35] hy,,, [08:35] indeed, CD booting is different from other forms of booting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootable_cd [08:36] augustl: I can make you an image of the Ubuntu minimal installer that you *could* dd to a usb stick from OSX.

[08:36] that user Ware is a remote user and shouldnt be even on the end of the root line correct? [08:37] Jordan_U: what tools would you use to do that? [08:37] rww: Is '~$ ps -A | grep Xorg' appropriate? [08:37] btw, I need a ubuntu server image [08:37] I have been using the two program said to turn your usb stick / sd card adapter into a bootble media and both failed [08:37] augustl: grub-mkrescue (from within Ubuntu, building grub on OSX is very difficult if it's possible at all at the moment). [08:37] bullgard4: kinda. Sometimes that'll also return the grep process itself, sometimes it won't. So you'd have to keep that in mind. [08:37] why aren't normal disk images of ubuntu distributed? >< [08:38] augustl: The minimal installer can install any flavor of Ubuntu. [08:38] bullgard4: (i.e., you'd either get one line with "Xorg" on it, or two lines, one with "Xorg" and one with "grep Xorg") [08:38] ni_ i posted it if you didn't notice :) [08:38] ok installer stuck on "Retrieving bash..." seriously am i not allowed to install ubuntu on this computer [08:38] Jordan_U: it's a netinstall I guess? [08:38] rww: No problem keeping this in mind. -- Thank you for your help. [08:38] augustl: Yes. [08:38] my video card is matrox g400/450, i would like to know how to enable 3d acceleration as well [08:39] bullgard4, ps -ax |grep /usr/bin/X [08:39] FreezyFreaky: hmm [08:40] soooo [08:40] augustl: 1: Because it would require a bit more work to make the image bootable when dd'd to a hard drive and 2: Since this is Ubuntu, they'd much rather people used utilities that are harder to shoot yourself in the foot with like unetbootin instead of dd, so there's not much incentive to add this feature. Note that that's all conjecture on my part. [08:40] bullgard4, oops, ps ax |grep /usr/bin/X [08:40] FreezyFreaky: This returns: "Warning: bad ps syntax." [08:40] bullgard4, no -x [08:41] bullgard4, no - [08:41] How do I change my Mac Adress? do I have to be connected directly to the modem? [08:41] so it seems my internet connection is unstable how can i resume "Installing the base system" after a disconnect? lol@skype thinking that guys ip was a phone # [08:41] does anyone have a solution on my issue? [08:41] how do you search apt-get for files etc etc?? [08:41] theamazingbeat, you said you wanted a user account ? [08:41] OrangePeel, macchanger [08:41] FreezyFreaky: This returns no warning. -- Thank you. [08:41] how many of you have used a USB stick to install Ubuntu? [08:41] no [08:41] Jordan_U: would make sense to at least have ubuntu server as an .img [08:42] Jpapertowels: download the desktop image, much easier [08:42] I'm installing DOS 6.2... hopefully after that I can get the cdrom to boot, lol [08:42] Jpapertowels: at least you are able to install it [08:42] my system got corrupted when i was messing with setting up mapping a network drive [08:42] anyway [08:42] tarelerulz: havent used cd's in years...always with usb [08:42] I got the error message after i restarted: could not update ICEauthorityfile [08:42] i resolved that [08:42] talk about bringing back memories... I also have Windows 3.11 for Workgroups [08:42] augustl: Probably would. File a bug report / feature request and they may add the feature. [08:43] but now when i boot i get no GUI [08:43] just my background [08:43] I should put those on CDs for posterity [08:43] when I go into a command line (Ctrl+alt+f1) [08:43] and i login it says, No directory, logging in with home [08:43] Do I need to be connnected directly to the modem, I use a router [08:43] I have an sdcard / converter that use USB and been trying to use it as install media and nothing has worked.

[08:44] well that is the remote user with the remote drive that i was trying to map that i severely screwed my computer [08:45] augustl: Would you like me to make you a dd'able image? [08:45] so what do i do /cry :P [08:45] Jpapertowels: natty is still under development [08:45] can anybody help with matrox video card g400/450, please ?

[08:46] anyone? [08:46] gobbe: i can fakeraid install from desktop live cd yes? [08:46] augustl: What version? (release number like 10.10 and 32 or 64 bit). [08:47] 10.10, 64 bit [08:47] Jpapertowels: no, then download alternative installer [08:47] tarelerulz thats a little bit vague. what version of ubuntu and what problems are you having [08:47] gobbe: what if i were to boot into live cd then apt-get dmraid? [08:47] how can I enable hardware acceleration for matrox g400/450 on meerkat? [08:47] haveing [08:48] 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 desktop [08:48] Jpapertowels: i would say that it's not working [08:48] Jpapertowels: if you want software-raid you need to use alternative [08:48] so does anyone have an answer?

[08:51] tarelerulz also i think it would be best if you tryed the 32bit version until you are a little more confident using ubuntu [08:51] I cant get my sc card to work as install media at all. [08:51] OrangePeel: can you edit a config file? [08:51] hey all [08:51] can you computer boot from an SC card? [08:52] Well, the Ubuntu Logo comes up [08:52] Does anyone know any CLI tools that log an RSS feed? to html or text or something [08:52] sounds like you are booting from it then, and there doesnt seem to be a problem with the bootloader if you see the ubuntu logo. but are you sure you are not just booting from the CD in your cd-rom drive? [08:52] can i find a more up to date alternate cd for 10.10 amd64 than october anywhere? [08:53] OrangePeel: anyway, here is a simple how to http://abz89.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/change-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ [08:53] foo: curl and awk, hehe [08:53] I can't boot from a cd in my drive , I don't have one at all. The USB/ sd card thing is the only thing I have with Ubuntu on it [08:54] tarelerulz i see that is a good start. so how did you get ubuntu onto the SD card? [08:54] Tom-B, do I have to be connected directly to the modem? [08:54] augustl: haha [08:54] okay no offense but this is kinda a big issue and you guys are just mumbling on about useless usb/sd cards? [08:54] OrangePeel: not to change the address. if your talking about access control from an isp, perhabs [08:54] and i am getting suppoprt like every 10 minutes [08:55] I Used The two USB install creater program , the one in the iso and the one Ubuntu's site recommeds you get [08:55] theamazingbeat: volunteers help in what they can [08:55] anybody using faenza icons with docky in ubuntu 10.10 i cannot install docky helpers with faenza installed...

[08:56] theamazingbeat, it may not work as i am not sure on your situation, but to add a user to a system type: sudo adduser name [08:56] Hi, can anyone with a 10.04LTS tell me what modinfo aacraid says in line "version"? 10.10 says: [08:56] 1.1-5[26400]-ms [08:57] is there a way to look at all the file on my hard drive, and check the size? [08:57] Leman_Russ: df -h [08:57] hmm tomd thanks but couldn't find it helpful' [08:58] Leman_Russ: cd / && sudo du -sh * [08:58] bolt-work: that shows partition size, not all files and their sizes [08:58] OrangePeel: why not? that is the answear to changing the mac [08:58] Any GUI for this? I want to be able to delete stuff at the same time [08:58] tomd I could get to changing the mac adress through System > Preferances > Network Adress [08:58] you can do it in udev too i thik [08:58] ok, so what do you need? [08:59] gobbe: it shows used and unused space [08:59] hi [08:59] gobbe: the size of all files on the drive equals used space (roughly) [08:59] What should I change it too? [08:59] bolt-work: yes, but what i understood is that he wanted to find every file and it size [08:59] I want something that can look at all the files, then delete the stuff I dont need. Like some kind of advanced file manager [08:59] [GNOME 2.30.2] Panel > Properties > (Panel Properties) > Background > None (use system theme) is asserted. What is the filename of the background image in use? [09:00] bolt-work: your way is just summary, not file by file with size [09:00] OrangePeel: what ever you want I guess.... maybe i should ask why you want to change it [09:00] I've some problem with my usb printer and ubuntu lucid...can someone help me? [09:00] tomd, [09:00] augustl: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/ubuntu_minimal_maverick_amd64_ddable.iso [09:00] Can I PM you. [09:00] sure [09:00] I've already went over it with Jordan_U and Ubuntu Ops [09:00] augustl: try System > Administration > Start Up isk Creator [09:01] anyone know anything about maintaining the Ubuntu OS? [09:01] Jordan_U: great, thans [09:01] gobbe: your way is just the size of the root directories one by one. if he wanted what you thought he wanted, he'd use ls -lR / or something, which is entirely useless [09:01] I screwed up bad.. I was installing 10.10 earlier and had my partitions all set up for separate /boot /usr /tmp and /[root]. However, I forgot to change the location of the GRUB install to to my linux partition (I did NOT want it installed over my master boot record). I hit continue before I realized. So Ubuntu started installing. Now this would have been fine and worked if I let the install complete. However, I have had trouble in the p [09:01] ast manually installing grub and getting it to work with rEFIt when using separate partitions for /boot etc.. So, I just waited until the installation finished installing GRUB in the wrong location (sda and not sda4). I figured I would just restart then, boot to the CD and start over. That's what I did but on restart I am NOT able to boot into anything.. including the CD. I am using a MacBook 5.1 so I, obviously, am using EFI the respecti [09:01] ve bootloader for whichever operating system I want. Is anyone knowledgeable in using the EFI shell or able to help me figure out what I need to do to restore my system to booting capacity?? [09:01] dcow90: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:01] axp2: I'm not on Ubuntu now I'm afraid [09:01] augustl: You're welcome. [09:01] gobbe: but why not listen to his response instead of arguing with me? [09:01] I've some problem with my usb printer and ubuntu lucid...can someone help me? [09:01] sorry augustl: i wrote that response a while ago and forgot to press enter, then accidentally sent it just then! [09:02] bolt-work: well, that was what he wanted :) [09:02] Jordan_U: 2 kbps :) Don't turn off your machine the next hour or so please ;) [09:02] axp2: ah [09:02] gobbe: maybe what he asked for... what people ask for is rarely what they want [09:02] bolt-work: yes, that happens :-) [09:02] augustl: Yea, now you see why I didn't offer to make a version of the full server iso :) [09:02] hehe [09:03] who can help me? [09:03] Pmax: ask your question, and we'll see [09:04] (for the record, I probably can't) [09:04] ok..tnx. [09:05] Jordan_U: would make sense that this netinstall image you just made was distributed somewhere as well [09:05] or, at least _some_ kind of DD-able image should be on the mirrors [09:05] Usb HP photosmart c3180 worked well until a week ago. After it disappeared from localhost and now when i try to install it again i can't select it becouse usb device don't appear.

What you need is something that will interpret the bits to pull off the old files. They are two different goals and require a different type of utility. [09:31] xangua, red2kic like shutter for gnome, and kscreenshot for kde :) [09:31] morning [09:32] one more question, i have a lan connection as well as a data card connection, bot are capable of connecting to internet, i want to use my datacard for internet and lan connection to perform just lan functions [09:32] how do i ? [09:32] Is there any way to add extra space between indicator applet icons ? [09:33] duron23: no [09:33] duron23: on what? [09:33] Us3r_Unfriendly: I want to add extra space to clock applet [09:34] duron23: on gnome-panel, cairo, ect....? [09:34] raviepic3: I'd say remove the DNS from the card you want on the private network [09:34] Us3r_Unfriendly: gnome-panel [09:34] Us3r_Unfriendly: "indicator applets" are a gnome-panel thing. [09:34] rww: they are available for awn too [09:34] huh. same thing, or different thing with same name? [09:35] rww: hmmm [09:35] duron23: are you asking if you can move applets around providing more space between them? [09:35] Us3r_Unfriendly: now, I can move them [09:35] Us3r_Unfriendly: *now = no [09:36] Us3r_Unfriendly: I want more space between my indicator applet icons by default [09:36] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/ubuntu-embed-terminal-into-you-desktop.html [09:36] anyway, the the indicator applet stuff for gnome-panel that Canonical coded up isn't user-configurable, as far as I'm aware. [09:37] rww: how about notification applet then ? [09:37] duron23: right click the applets (and the applets surrounding them) and uncheck "Lock to Panel"...left click and select move and move to where ever you want [09:38] duron23: the GNOME one? no idea. I don't think so, but I switched to KDE a while back, so I can't check. [09:39] duron23: are you talking about "notify-osd"? The black window that pops up when you get a message from empathy or a new song starts playing on rhythmbox? [09:39] actually I am theming gnome-panel, everything look fine with current setup, alignment goes wrong when some other icons come there, like activating bluetooth device [09:41] duron23: also when right clicking the applet sometime you have to click a little bit to the left of it where it begins. exp...if I want to move my network icon if I right click it I get the networking options ...not the option to move it [09:42] Us3r_Unfriendly, I found a new distro for you www.doudoulinux.org [09:42] Us3r_Unfriendly: thanks for suggestion, but I know I can do those stuff, but I issue is little different, I guess I am not able to explain it properly [09:42] r00t4rd3d: is it redhat based or Debian based? [09:43] lol r00t4rd3d [09:44] hey guys. compiz is sometimes slow if my GPU is set in a lower speed/power state before it revs up and is smooth again. this might be a bit specific but is there any way to force compiz to put the GPU in maximum power before doing any complex animations? or do i just have to run my GPU in full performance mode all the time? [09:44] :D its linux for kids lol [09:44] r00t4rd3d: :D [09:44] :P [09:44] looks cool [09:45] r00t4rd3d: doudou might be too advanced for me [09:45] :( [09:45] :D [09:45] r00t4rd3d: is it pronounced "dooo dooo"?

[09:49] Adman65: Gwibber [09:49] Jordan_U: let me ask you...what exactly is Ubuntu related questions? I suppose my question earlier wasn't Ubuntu related. [09:50] Adman65: or else you can use screenlet or adobe air widgets [09:50] Adman65: gwibber is okay [09:50] so I press&hold the back button in chromium to get the back menu, then when the menu dissapeared, the space it occupied is now stuck empty, it's showing my desktop background. What's the term for this occurance? can this be remedied without restart? [09:50] Hi everyone [09:51] Us3r_Unfriendly: An Ubuntu related support question is a question about how to use Ubuntu and the software that comes with it/ is available in the repositories. [09:52] hmm [09:52] wasn't there some fancy thing ubuntu did to streamline the "social experience" [09:52] hiya guys, I have ubunt 10.04 and I would like to secure/encrypt one directry...can someone please point me in the best correct direction? [09:52] Adman65, empathy? [09:53] Adman65: it is Gwibber [09:53] Jordan_U: yeah I don't think this is the place for me anymore. Thanks...I'll help local ppl out for now on [09:53] what must i install to have the 32 bits compatibility in my amd64 system ? [09:54] nightcrow, You might want to take a look at GPG [09:54] paissad: ia32 packages [09:54] paissad: ia32-libs to be specific [09:54] nightcrow: I use TrueCrypt to create an encrypted volume that I mount in my home folder. Been a fan of the tool for a while. [09:55] yo [09:56] hi people. can anyone tell me the name of the suggestion mechanism/package for missing commands === maciek_ is now known as Guest82175 [09:56] lolz at my life [09:56] dracz, apropos? [09:56] when you type a missing command in the shell, it will suggest a deb package to install [09:56] dracz: apt ? [09:57] dracz, isn't this the default reaction? [09:57] yes, it's installed by default [09:57] ah... i understand [09:57] dracz: and you want to get rid of it? I'd love that too :) [09:57] dracz: then is apt [09:57] i'm just trying to figure out if i can install it on mac os [09:58] i like it on ubuntu [09:58] I find it annoying [09:58] I have an ill 500GB HDD with a 50GB HFS+ partition from my Mac that I need to DD to a new unformatted 1TB HDD... do I need to format the new HDD first? [09:58] duron23: it must be something beside the standard apt tools === petr is now known as _bro [09:59] i believe in ubuntu there is a specific package for it [09:59] i wish i could just get £50 super quick but i can't [10:00] mactimes: hdeshev: whats wrong with enfcs [10:01] nightcrow: never used enfcs or heard of it. I've used TrueCrypt forever on Windows and I was just glad it worked on Linux too [10:01] nightcrow, You asked for options to encrypt a directory. I gave you one. What's wrong with GPG? [10:01] hdeshev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [10:02] mactimes: im just asking - not familiar with it is all [10:02] hi there [10:02] how much space should the /boot partition have for ubuntu server 10.10? [10:02] I just have a folder that I symlink several settings folders into (browser profiles, IM chat logs, etc). I don't encrypt my entire home folder. [10:02] nightcrow, I see. Well, I use GPG from command line. Can't tell about encfs, never used it. [10:02] or, what would the guided partitioner chose? [10:02] choose* [10:03] mactimes: i had three suggestions, TrueCrypt, encfs and GPG [10:03] i have a litle problem with my wubi. any hint on where to find the installer's sources? [10:03] mactimes: is it hard to use [10:03] i only use CLI === _bro is now known as _bro_fbi_agent [10:03] nightcrow, So go and try them, see how you feel about each one and pick your preferred alternative. === _bro_fbi_agent is now known as _bro [10:03] does anyone else have any suggestions for encryption a folder in ubuntu? [10:03] dracz: I guess it is "command-not-found" [10:03] i will try them mactimes [10:04] thank you sir [10:04] mactimes: i see GPG requires a server of sort? [10:04] duron23: that seems to be it. Getting rid of command-not-found now :) [10:04] Thanks! [10:04] hdeshev: welcome :) [10:05] nightcrow, I think you meant you only use GUI, correct? GUI = Graphic User Interface | CLI = Command Line Interface [10:05] mactimes: no, i only use CLI [10:05] command line [10:05] duron23: that's it! thanks a bunch! [10:05] dont have a gui - i ssh to all my servers [10:05] dracz: welcome :) [10:05] hdeshev: crazy... [10:05] nightcrow, Not really. Only if you mean to share your public key for some reason. [10:05] NVIDIA GeForce 4 Go 420 with 32MB (4X APG) is this good in a tablet pc [10:06] mactimes: why would you assume i didnt know what CLI is? :) [10:06] i think it should just install the missing commands without prompthing ;) [10:06] augustl: The guided partitioner would choose not to use a separate /boot (it's only needed for exotic root filesystems and buggy BIOSs). [10:06] hiya Jordan_U [10:06] :) [10:06] nightcrow: Hi. [10:06] does ubuntu by default create a seperate /home partition in the installer? [10:06] dracz: I don't like it since most of the time I don't want to install anything. And I can do an 'apt-cache search' when I want to [10:07] will___: no [10:07] nightcrow, For no special reason. Just seemed you got it wrong since you seem to be relatively new to the *nix environment due to the encryption question. [10:07] duron23: thanks for clarifying. it's surprising, as a seperate /home partition has saved my bacon (and made my life easier) more than a few times [10:07] mactimes: true [10:07] im not entirely new, but im DEF not a guru [10:07] will___: bacon is a tiny testing library in ruby [10:07] i can find my way around linux [10:08] but im always learning more [10:08] will___: but you can specify one, if you want, but its not default [10:08] and encryption simply isnt a thing that ive encountered at all [10:08] if i use wubi, what will my XP File System be called [10:08] nightcrow, Since newcomers and TTY don't get along very well in the beginning you can see why I thought you got it wrong. [10:08] yes, of course [10:08] and do i have to mount it [10:08] hdeshev: you might look into installing the package "sl" [10:08] tbh, ive never been a fan of the linux gui [10:09] cradam: It will be available in /host, mounted automatically. [10:09] banisterfiend: you're thinking of beansOnToast. oh wait, sorry. that's a java library [10:09] Jordan_U: thx [10:09] cradam: You're welcome. [10:09] nightcrow, Well, CLI and GUI can be seen as complementary. [10:09] will___: im not thinking of anything, my mind is blank [10:09] mactimes: yup, i guess [10:10] so nobody here knows anything about wubi? [10:10] mactimes: I guess, yes [10:10] What about Wubi? other than don't use it [10:10] nightcrow, CLI is much better for admin tasks, but sending an e-mail with attachments from the CLI and you'll see how boring that can get. [10:10] does anyone else have any suggestions for encryption a folder in ubuntu?

I just wondered if there was a way to have automatically up-to-date symbolic links that cross file systems, and even if you move the original file. [10:36] anybody knows how do i install make command? [10:36] will___: ah, yeah that menu is hidden now on 10.10 [10:36] tehbaut: okay, well if you can unhide it somehow then you should be able to find the test there === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith [10:36] tnm, apt-get install build-essential [10:36] tnm: I guess build essentials [10:37] tehbaut: other than that, i can only advise you to try things like booting it in safe graphics mode, for example [10:37] tnm: sudo apt-get install make [10:37] So I thought that if I make a hard link, that never moves, to a file that might move - I could create a symbolic link to that file and then move the original file to anywhere on that file system to maintain the link. That would work, right? [10:37] symlink to the hard link. [10:38] Zol: Yes, that should work. [10:38] Cool. :) Will test it. Thanks! [10:38] Guest92764: Back. Alright did you type "lspci -n | grep 14e4" in CLI just as I have it here (minus the quotations)? [10:38] tehbaut: so it's either an incompatibility with your hardware and ubuntu (in which case you need to fiddle with different boot options) or the CD is just bad, which will require either reburning one on a slower speed setting, or using better CDs... etc. [10:39] stupid yet simple question. anyone know where evolution stores its inbox, ect???? i want to uninstall it and use thunderbird-Shredder because evolution never could send any email, only receive, via hotmail... [10:39] will___: but that's just it... it's been booting just fine up until now... including 20 minutes ago... and I never removed it from the tray, so it's not like it acquired a scratch since then [10:40] installer seems to work though, just not the trial [10:40] Update for people that helped yesterday with regards to webcam on a 10.10 server with only CLI. I got it working thanks. Problem is that the program "motion" only serves locally and you have to specify allowimng remote connections. [10:40] tristan3199us1, $HOME/.evolution (i guess) [10:40] tehbaut: you could try using the CD in a different computer or a different CD in the same computer [10:40] tehbaut: that'll help you diagnose the problem [10:40] Zol: Note that unlike symlinks, with hard links there is no "original" file. Either link to the file is the same, and the file on disk won't be deleted untill all hard links to it are unlinked (with rm). [10:41] heh, now the trial is working... man, this makes no sense :P [10:41] tehbaut: if it helps, i've always found liveCDs to be incredibly flakey [10:41] tehbaut: i usually use USB sticks instead [10:41] thanks.. so i could probably search my fs for files containing evolution... === share is now known as hax0r [10:42] will___: I would, but I can't get any USB sticks to boot on this machine for the life of me === hax0r is now known as share [10:42] been able to do it before, but not lately [10:42] <_bro> hi [10:43] hi [10:43] Anchor, i cann't type it on my terminal,what should i do?? [10:43] morning [10:43] tristan3199us1, they are in your home folder and hidden (.dirname) like any other user-specific profiles [10:43] tehbaut: gotta love terrible, inconsistent BIOS menus for configuring boot orders [10:43] thanks.. [10:43] Jordan_U: Ah - if I create a hard link - will I create a duplicate of the file or just a "fake file" that points to the other file using the inode number? Because I noticed that the file size for the hard link is the same. So I wondered whether it's just visual or actual duplication of data. [10:44] is there a way to put them into .thunderbird instead [10:44] i'm occasionly paste my copy buffer to irc with my touchpad, how am i doing this? [10:44] Hi guys, i'm sorry but i need someone who can teach me about using DDOS from IRC I can pay via paypal.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:44] Zol, hardlinks doesnt duplicate data.... your create references to the same file in your filesystem. When each reference is deleted, the file is deleted. [10:44] Zol: Every file path is a hard link to a file. When you use ln (without -s for symlink) you are creating a second hard link to the same file. [10:44] <_bro> how to switch my system tyo beautiful designe of interface!!! when I press alt+tab then in that case I see 3D!!!!!

[10:46] Guest92764: Go to your network icons on the top menu and look to see what it says about wireless connections. The list from top to bottom should read Wired Network--Wireless Networks--VPN connections. [10:46] which cards are best supported, should I use Compiz [10:46] *nodnods* So it's just visual then. Thanks! (I wonder what happens if I would create a tar of a file with a hard link to it in the same dir. Then I would have a "duplicate"?) [10:47] <_bro> I found!! )) [10:47] <_bro> thanks for attantion [10:47] has anyone got any exerience of these cheap Ebay USB temperature sensors and programs that will work in ubuntu to determine to temperature of a room?

I have installed my laptop, few desktops etc from same media and they all have gnome-themes :) [11:41] Jpapertowels: which image you used for installation? [11:41] arvut: look at the instructions I gave you http://paste.ubuntu.com/547404/ does that look like the method you used to recover? [11:41] and yeah, guides on the web said 9.04 and upwards i think [11:42] gobbe: xubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso [11:42] Jpapertowels: oh. then you should ask it from #xubuntu [11:42] gobbe: same thing happened with gnome iso though...maybe its because im not using any graphics drivers? [11:43] Jpapertowels: maybe [11:43] sacarlson: that would be it, yeah [11:43] sacarlson: second method iirc [11:44] duron23: harddrive or external usb motherboard?

I have unplugged & replugged it, on both sides several times, unplugged the power, let it sit & replugged it is. The drive spins up, but then does't talk with the PC, & l [11:47] susb & fdisk -l show that the system does not see it. [11:48] arvut: one would be what you have booted from usb flash or cd?

[11:49] i might just have to try a different distribution?

I am sry but i quite don't understand what you mean. [12:05] I'm running 10.10 and I just can't stand it any more.....I am quite frequently getting into situations where the desktop is still responsive but the mouse can't select any menus or drag any windows...think it some kind of grab or something in X, but when it happens all I can do is shift-tab to move between windows and close things down and hope I have a shell window open and kill -9 -1.... ARRRRRRRGGGGHH [12:05] Guest44994: i dont know how you fix it and throttling a fan slows it down or speeds it up dependant on the temperature of the cpu [12:06] I have a little dilemma... gparted crashes every time I open it, and I need to reformat a drive, but not sure how to do it manually, nor have any idea why gparted is crashing and how to fix it [12:06] any ideas?

[12:25] bullgard4: isn't that just a color in the panel if using system theme? [12:25] sacarlson: well, yes, I'll do that, if nothing else to prove that it's the kernel change that's caused the problem [12:25] mrdirtft: no clue, on how to fix yet, Maybe re-installing the messaging indicator will do the trick [12:26] ngl expanding a wubi install? [12:26] ne2k: well that would add evidence that is is the kernel causing it if you try boot the old and it works again, newer is not always better.

[12:41] MagoMarkos: yeah ext4 [12:41] Sriram: thanks for correcting [12:41] duron23: Welcome [12:41] this is when using the ubuntu package, but occurs as well if you compile it yourself [12:41] Location of the new partition: Begining or End? [12:42] why can't I actually just report a bug on lanuchpad any more? why do I have to use this flaming stupid desktop application?! [12:42] MagoMarkos: leave it on default [12:42] ok [12:42] Why does firefox chrash constantly?! The processor isnt running much, i dont have alot of tabs open. Freshly installed OS, latest version [12:42] TimothyA, specs of your computer? [12:42] lets see what happends now [12:42] nickserv identify xssfdp12 [12:42] ne2k: I guess it was meant to make it easy and complete [12:43] phox_: Paste your top output on paste.ubuntu.com [12:43] Shell0xLogger, fail :D [12:43] sam-_-: i assume you only need the cpu info, I don't know where to get the rest easily [12:43] lol [12:43] xD [12:43] ne2k: people tend not to provide the needed info or are too lazy, whereas computers do it all for you [12:43] TimothyA, yes [12:43] should i enable a swap portion? [12:43] sriram: and where do i find this top output? [12:43] phox_: do you have any plugins installed ? [12:43] MagoMarkos: yes [12:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/551047/ [12:43] sacarlson: same problem I'm afraid.. will write a pastebin with the exact errors I get [12:43] phox_: run top on your terminal [12:43] how much MB? [12:44] duron23: nope. Barely anything installed on the computer. [12:44] with OpenMP enabled in imagemagick, it takes several minutes to convert a single image [12:44] arvut: look in the boot [12:44] sriram: okey [12:44] without it, several seconds [12:44] but I would like to make use of the other cores as well [12:44] MagoMarkos: 1.5 * your RAM [12:45] arvut: it apears there is no partiton for boot so it must be ok there [12:45] I have 2 GB RAM so i should put 3 GB Swap Area? [12:45] MagoMarkos: ok [12:45] ne2k: '~$ ubuntu-bug ' does no longer work? [12:45] sriram: i have tried like three times just to paste this, basiclyy had to force quit as many times. give me a minute [12:45] sam-_-: I still have plenty of memory left over [12:46] Sriram, Ok. I don't know if you can help me with this. The install needs the gcc (C compiler), but even after I install it it says. "http://paste.ubuntu.com/551049/" Any idea what the problem could be ? [12:46] bullgard4: no, it does work. I was talking about just going to a website and filing a bug, which seems rather more sensible to me. I guess it stops people putting in crap, as others have suggested [12:46] TimothyA, hugh interesting. don't know what the cause is. [12:46] WierdAAR, Give me a sec [12:46] sam-_-: I'm not the only one [12:47] I've replicated this issue on both dedicated servers and VPS's [12:47] TimothyA, what do you convert and how? [12:47] images, and just simple resize/crop actions [12:47] sriram and duron23: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551050/ [12:47] doing it from the cli [12:47] TimothyA: maybe it's somekind of issue with your VPS's softwares [12:47] TimothyA: that you not getting enough cpu-time [12:47] TimothyA, so jpegs? [12:48] WierdAAR: Can you paste the readme file? [12:48] sam-_-: yep [12:48] and now i wait for it to finish copying the files [12:48] ne2k: I disagree. '~$ ubuntu-bug ' is a convenient way to report errors and classify them at the same time. [12:48] gobbe: linode [12:48] Hi I get nasty carp-looking horrible fonts in any java program [12:48] MagoMarkos: yes [12:48] phox_: One sec [12:48] im in the who are you page and the forward button is grey [12:48] bullgard4: I'm not saying it's not convenient. I'm just saying that I would expect to be able to open a bug from a website /as well/ [12:48] Sriram, There was no readme. I can post the entire terminal process ? [12:48] ne2k: or an easy GUI [12:48] MagoMarkos: fill the details [12:49] i did [12:49] still on copying files [12:49] MagoMarkos: once everything is ok, the button will enable [12:49] ok [12:49] MagoMarkos: yep, it takes while [12:49] lets see [12:49] WierdAAR, There should be some way to set the location of GCC, or somthing like that [12:49] WierdAAR: Okay [12:49] Sriram, http://paste.ubuntu.com/551051/ [12:49] phox_: Not many processes [12:50] ne2k: Launchpad is a suitable _website_. [12:50] once this finishes do i get a nice OS Selection sceen on the machine startup? [12:50] phox_: Suspected a high CPU usage [12:50] irc does any1 knows of a mp3 player that can synch with ubuntu without rockbox ? [12:50] MagoMarkos: yes you will get, but how nice it is, you decide [12:50] Sriram, I ran it the first time, and it gave the same error but with "8 dependencies required" and after apt-get install gcc there are only 7 dependecies even though it claims to be missing the same thing [12:50] sriram: Right? Yet firefox keeps not responding and stuff. Yeah i thought so too at first, but no no. Just random "not repsponding" and stuff [12:50] what do you mean? [12:50] Hello Everyone! [12:51] does anybody have my same problem with Java programs' fonts? [12:51] Morning all..tried to run ./pear mage-setup and got a bunch of statements like, : Function eregi() is deprecated in PEAR/Registry.php on line 772 PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 8192 in /home/mysite/public/downloader/pearlib/php/pearmage.php on line 424 ....Any ideas whats going on? [12:51] TimothyA, maybe it's not an ubuntu specific issue. have you tried asking here: ##imagemagick [12:51] hm, good idea [12:51] WierdAAR, Can you try the custom mode during installation [12:51] I didn't know they had an IRC channel [12:51] shoothemup: hello [12:51] duron23: what do you mean? [12:51] ....and now the batteries of my mouse dies again *Sigh* [12:51] Sriram, Sure. Give me a minute [12:51] YAY!!!!! im stuck again i think [12:52] TimothyA, i didn't either. it's unofficial. just 13 people [12:52] WierdAAR: do you have build-essentials installed ? [12:52] phox_: I don't think I have the solution for this, you can try switching over to Chrome, much better "IMHO" [12:52] MagoMarkos: you will get a options to select the os [12:52] I filled the who are you page completley the compuer finished copying files and now it says Ready when you are... and the forward button is grey... what do i do now? [12:53] Sriram, Custom install was basically the same http://paste.ubuntu.com/551052/ [12:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/698099 reported [12:53] sriram: you know? I will. Screw firefox. [12:53] duron23, I think I have. Is the package just called "build-essentials" ? [12:53] WierdAAR: yeah something similar [12:54] WierdAAR, build-essential [12:54] phox_, Sriram: better go Chromium [12:54] rumpe1, Thanks [12:54] euthymos: What do you mean? I just tried to apt-get "chrome", didnt work. [12:54] WierdAAR, Maybe there is a specific version of GCC needed [12:54] try chromium-browser [12:54] never download Chrome package from Google website [12:55] it's often broken and unmaintained [12:55] euthymos: chromiun-browser is unstable v right? [12:55] euthymos: weird, but i think i got the synaptics working with the "-browser" [12:55] I filled the who are you page completley the compuer finished copying files and now it says Ready when you are... and the forward button is grey... what do i do now? [12:55] rumpe1, Sriram Hah. build-essentials filled one dependencie. Only 6 more to go. And the next is phyton-devel. I will try and get all dependancies manually. Back in a couple of minuts [12:55] MagoMarkos: can I get a screeshot of it ? [12:56] today when i booted up my nautilus freezes each time i answer a dialog box, "move to trash", "replace" etc, is this a known problem ?? [12:56] a camera picture? [12:56] also the ppas are nice. https://launchpad.net/chromium-browser [12:56] MagoMarkos: sry, you are in isntaller you can't [12:56] phox_: be careful I think "chromium" package is a GAME [12:56] Sriram: it's not unstable [12:56] euthymos, yes you are correct [12:57] MagoMarkos: can I know what are the details you filled ? [12:57] euthymos: yeah i googled it and understood that. Chrome is running much smoother than firefox now though, thx [12:57] the good is: "chromium-browser". Forget "chromium" (unless you like the game :P ) and packages from Google website [12:57] have you filled password field properly === xinli is now known as Doinkle [12:57] h/o ill upload a picture of the screen [12:57] Phylock, may be a problem with permissions [12:57] phox_: I do think so, too. But I like FF extensions [12:57] hey I was wondering if there is an older version of wubi which could be used for installing ubuntu server? [12:58] remote desktoping to a server and wishing to switch it over from a home windows install to something decent [12:59] euthymos: true dat [12:59] oh i cant use caps or spaces in the user ups [12:59] lol [13:00] kopilo, i personally wouldnt use wubi for a server-install... it's the worst method for installing ubuntu :/ [13:00] phox_: euthymos: I was also having problems with ff crash on some sites with flash that never crashed with chrome, I do love ff for extensions I can't live without [13:00] MagoMarkos: so the forward button is enabled now ? [13:00] hi [13:00] Itś so cold === sano is now known as Guest69187 [13:01] wtf? [13:01] sam-_-: when i delete a file and press delete in the dialog, nautilus freezes, after i start nautilus again the file is deleted. so its not a permissin problem on the files as i see it, could i be another place? [13:01] sacarlson: some of them have been ported, some have been not. Some have a good replacement. Better look at chrome extension website often. [13:01] rumpe1 I agree but do you have a better option? [13:01] y [13:01] kopilo, why not dual-boot? [13:01] Phylock: can you check the log [13:01] yup [13:02] MagoMarkos: :) good [13:02] rumpe1 I am accessing the computer via a remote desktop [13:02] oh I forgot. To have chromium in your language, install chromium-browser-l10n [13:02] Phylock, i can't tell but i think it's best to delete all nautilus related configuration files and see if it helps [13:02] I have no physical access to the computer [13:02] euthymos: the main thing I need in ff is firewatir to interface ruby to firefox, there is only for IE and firefox that I know but I'm sure the time will come [13:02] how could I do that? [13:02] i wortew Mago Markos and didnt know that i couldnt use caps or spaces im instaling now WOOO [13:02] lets see what happends now [13:02] sacarlson: I see [13:02] kopilo, get physical access ^^ [13:03] xD [13:03] that will cost... $5k in travel expenses :( [13:03] Sriram, Well I fell stupid. hplip is part of the universe rep, so a simple apt-get install got it all working. So hplip is installed now. simple scan still won't recognize the scanner, and can't find any hplip "program".. So.. Any ideas? [13:03] WierdAAR: Can you launch hplip?

Maybe it's called something different, but I don't know what [13:04] rumpe1: web and icecast [13:04] i put spaces and caps on the user and that kept me stuck for two days in that screen lol [13:04] thank you however guys, I'll look for a solution myself. [13:04] test [13:04] kopilo, why not rent a cheap vserver? [13:05] kopilo: if you dont have physical access, wubi won't help anyway. to use ubuntu on the machine you need to choose it at boot [13:05] MagoMarkos: happens with everyone nps === myrti_ is now known as myrti [13:05] i started basically today lol [13:05] and im loving this os [13:05] I will be trying to get the owner to install it but he has limited software skills === myrti is now known as kaddi [13:05] WierdAAR: I thought that hplip was the printer managing software by HP for linux [13:05] WierdAAR, One sec [13:05] can i acces my windows files from Ubuntu?

[13:26] MagoMarkos: yes, but this channel is not for backtrack [13:27] ok thanks ill look it up [13:27] kopilo: Sriram : my mistake [13:27] duron23: np. just was giving you a link [13:27] hey how do i modify the grub? [13:27] tetsuo55: netstat ? [13:28] MagoMarkos: how would u like to customize it [13:28] tetsuo55: there is also traceroute [13:28] change the names and the order [13:28] MagoMarkos: sudo text editor /etc/default/grub [13:28] packet drops are random, can i automate it to collect data or something? [13:28] lwizardl: what model laptop is this? [13:28] Sriram, No luck.. Still nothing.. Simply Scan can't find the device and the hplip setup calims no devices is connected via usb [13:28] tetsuo55: though "dropping open sockets" sounds like a NAT or firewall issue :( [13:28] where do i run that? [13:28] MagoMarkos: you need to use burg [13:28] !grub2 | MagoMarkos [13:28] MagoMarkos: 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 [13:29] WierdAAR; Wierd [13:29] tetsuo55: wireshark [13:29] MagoMarkos: you can use burg to customixe your grub screen [13:29] i have grub but i wanna chjange the names displayed [13:29] it's bread and butter for trouble shooting networks [13:29] where can i get burg? [13:29] Sriram, WTF.... It just found it..... I have NO idea why... [13:29] MagoMarkos: google it [13:30] oh ok thanks [13:30] WierdAAR: How, where? [13:30] bonjoyee, ASUS K52F laptop [13:30] do i run it from windows or linux? [13:30] linux [13:30] thanks [13:30] How do i post a problem so i get a answer?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:31] arunomi: it's not guaranteed that someone knows the answer, but you should just ask your question [13:31] Sriram, Well.. I ran the hp-setup again just to be sure.. And it found the scanner.. And installed it.. And it works in simply scan as well now.. I moved it to a different usb port and it seem to be that.. Even though I know the usb port works fine with everything else [13:31] WiredAAR: Great!!! [13:31] arunomi: by contacting the people directly invovled with development of the software invovled? [13:31] Sriram: :( so? [13:32] Sriram, Yeah Really Great!! But I hate it when I don't find out what the problem was haha.. Thanks for all the help though!! [13:32] why cant a command find a path that is there? [13:32] is there simply no index? [13:32] huh? [13:32] arunomi forum link please [13:32] CruelC: Sorry, didn't get you [13:32] kopilo: ill try wireshark thanks [13:32] In mirror.yandex.ru [13:32] tetsuo55: no problems :) hope you find it [13:32] arunomi: the less vague you are, the more likely someone can answer you (you're too vague) [13:33] CruelC, There is an index [13:33] is there simply no index file in yandex's repo? [13:33] then what? [13:33] thanks [13:33] if index _is_ there, what stops my 804? [13:33] is it simply not 804-compatible? [13:34] when i run chroot it cant find a file but the file is rigth there it should be and the $Path is nothing wrong with. [13:34] CruelC you should be able to add the repos by doing something like this; # echo "deb http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu hardy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list [13:34] CruelC: Give me a sec [13:34] kopilo: way to go :) [13:34] duron23: thanks, hope I got that right though [13:36] I'm sure there's something out there but I wanted to ask around and see if I can get the name of a daemon I can install that will poll for resource usage such as RAM, CPU, HD RW, etc. at a set interval and log it so I can figure out if/when I need to up my rackspace specs... Anybody used something like this before? [13:36] bonjoyee, any ideas ?

You need to add your user to the "admin" group. You must have removed him from that group somehow accidentally. To do this, reboot, choose "Recovery Mode", issue the command « sudo adduser openbravo admin », and reboot [13:47] I rebooted once...

[14:02] sunit: reboot in recovery mode..then do "adduser openbravo admin" [14:03] CruelC: Why are you using 8.04? You know we are on like 10.10 now right? [14:03] how do i make the system sto logging to syslog, and only to messages? [14:03] rumpe1, ok. just do a search for ext driver? [14:03] stop* [14:03] bonjoyee : then reboot ? [14:03] yes [14:03] Soyo: Just not to waste CD's [14:03] CruelC: sudo apt-get upgrade? [14:03] luxurymode, yes [14:03] Soyo: plus my PC can't make a bootable somewhy [14:03] IdleOne, can I set a "distribution" version in a source package - so I would set my custom package to, let's say; -ubuntu-100 and that I would be more recent version so it wouldn't get downgraded? [14:03] rumpe1, http://www.fs-driver.org/ guess thats good [14:04] Is it ok to ask questions in here about Apache?? the #Apache room only has 8 people in it [14:04] sunit: wait a min... [14:04] IdleOne, can't find that one in debian/ in src package directory [14:04] DarkStar1: Yes [14:04] anything for ext2 should work with ext3 since ext3 is just ext2 + journaling, right?

[14:04] guys how to pass a file from server to server using command line [14:05] the servers are network locally [14:05] diogo_79: with command scp [14:05] thanks [14:05] IdleOne: seems like i need to create a symbolic link [14:05] luxurymode: it 'should' [14:06] kopilo: it would seem that my client is recieving packets faster than it can process them, any ideas how to fix that? [14:06] how to fix login in xubuntu9.10 [14:06] ? [14:06] i am trying to get my mx revolution to work properly (specifically making the buttons skip to next song, and previous song) does anyone have any suggestions? i cannot seem to get .xbindkeysrc to work properly [14:07] Dr_Willis, rumpe1 so do i just need the driver? bc right now that program i used does correctly identify the linux drive. has correct GB info and filesystem type, etc [14:07] it is xorg.conf the problem? [14:08] luxurymode, determining filesystem-type is far easier than actually using it for read-write-purposes [14:08] error21: you might try asking in #xubuntu also [14:08] I have 2 virtual servers, each running Apache Tomcat. Is it possible to redirect subomain addresses to resolve to the servers? so for instance http://subdomain1.domainname.com resolves to Virtual server 1 and http://subdomain2.domainname.com resolves to 2. [14:08] rumpe1, yeah when i try to open windows says it doesnt recognize the file system [14:08] ok thanks [14:08] rumpe1, i cant seem to find just the driver [14:08] rumpe1, all i see are programs [14:08] wasutton3: mm using mx 1100 here (almost the same) but with compiz, keys work fine [14:09] luxurymode, some drivers only work with explorer -> network (or something like that) [14:09] luxurymode, read their instructions/READMEs...

[14:11] luxurymode, in windows? o.O [14:12] luxurymode: umount command, :) [14:12] hehe [14:12] or am i missing somthing. [14:12] mount -u? (I think) I haven't manually unmounted for a while now... Good ol' point and click [14:12] i meant in windows [14:12] sudo umount [14:12] DarkStar1: no just umount [14:12] luxurymode: if you are using one of those ext2/3 tools in windows.. you use that tool to 'detatch' the filesystem. [14:12] #tangerang [14:13] Dr_Willis, thanks. trying to figure it out [14:13] hello, bonjoyee [14:14] luxurymode: Oh.. windows.. I believe you can use the admin tools in windows to unmount [14:14] luxurymode: I think it's in Control panel=>Administrative services=>Hardware Management... [14:14] luxurymode: Or something along those lines [14:14] sunit: ok then do..."adduser openbravo adm" in recovery mode [14:14] IEC Drivers? [14:15] IFS Driverws [14:15] DarkStar1, thanks. yeah something like that [14:15] have you seen the output ? [14:15] luxurymode: I used it once to unmount a drive in XP [14:16] DarkStar1, i think i can just go to device manager by right-clicking my computer and just disabling that drive [14:16] luxurymode: the only ext2/3 tool i used in widnows. You set it up with a drive letter in its controlpanel applet. and disabled it the same way [14:18] bonjoyee : thanks. After doing as you suggest , I shall contact you. Bye. [14:18] at least Ubuntu customized [14:18] damn it. i hav no idea what im doing. bc im pretty surwe windows cant actually do anything to this drive. but when i click to disable it warns me that it will cause the drive to stop working. [14:18] man oh man. why did i ever allow windows to even know about this drive [14:18] damn it [14:18] theyre after me no0w [14:18] this computer will self-destruct in 5 [14:18] 4 [14:18] courtest of William Gates [14:19] arite, im kidding. but, seriously. what do i need to do? [14:19] ignore windows [14:20] just forget about it, right? it cant even recognize the file system so it cant cause any harm [14:20] though i have full faith in windows in ability to somehow do something [14:20] can someone. recommend me GUI merge/diff tool? I tried meld but it's PoS [14:20] luxurymode, well.. it can... but if thats the case, its already too late ^^ [14:21] luxurymode: just shut down windows.... [14:21] I was altering my X11 xorg.conf through my nVidia X server settings application and now if I open vlc gdm restarts [14:21] Dr_Willis, whaddya mean? [14:21] luxurymode: You were trying to repair a ext2/3 usb drive in windows? [14:21] feanor2: if you like vim try gvimdiff ? [14:21] Dr_Willis, no. i wanted to be able to read my linux drive in windows. [14:22] Dr_Willis, so i mounted it in windows, but can't actually access it bc windows doesnt recognize the file system. [14:22] luxurymode: just yank the drive [14:22] Dr_Willis, so i figured id either get it to work or unmount it. [14:22] luxurymode: don't just disable the drive. use the admin tool to unmount [14:22] how can I remove only the first 21 bytes of a file in the command line? [14:22] luxurymode, you need to have 128-bit inodes to mount it [14:22] luxurymode: you do know that under windwos. You h ave to install a special tool to let windows see the drive properly? [14:23] frxstrem: man dd [14:23] luxurymode, if you formatted it with default size, it won't mount [14:23] hello [14:23] guampa: oh, thanks :) [14:23] I am trying to install 10.10 on my laptop (nvidia card), but the live CD boots to a black screen [14:23] Dr_Willis, yeah rumpe1 mentioned that i need the ext2 or 3 driver. but i cant find just the driver when i googled. all i see are programs that try to help do this, one of which im using already [14:24] !ext2 [14:24] there's no ext3 driver yet for windows i guess [14:24] luxurymode: without that driver.. wiondows wont do anything.. except ask to format uit [14:24] how do i stop the update manager from telling me to update a certain package all the time? i did a custom compile and made a package specifically for my purposes and i do not wish to have the distributions package version installed [14:24] !ifs [14:24] duron23, the legend says there is :) [14:24] theres a bot factoid on the driuver [14:24] rumpe1, :) [14:25] then can somebody point me there ? [14:25] the driver should be ale to mount ext3, but with previous notion to inode size [14:25] !ext [14:25] Dr_Willis, ok. makes sense. wheres this driver? [14:25] :S [14:25] http://www.fs-driver.org/ googled for 'windows ext2' :) [14:25] luxurymode: no idea how up to date that thing is.. last i checked it dident support win7 eitgher [14:25] oh, yeah that where i went first too, but thought it was a program. also im in Win 7, dunno if it matters [14:25] stygian, remove it from /var/cache/dpkg/status [14:26] oh yeah what am i saying, it wouldnt even install.... [14:26] luxurymode: win7 - No idea . [14:26] luxurymode, just backup drive contents and format it as NTFS [14:26] luxurymode: you want the data ON the drive? or just want to erase it? [14:27] lol. didnt think this was that complicated. feanor2 why would i want to format it as NTFS? Dr_Willis i just want to access files that are this completely separate hard drive that I'm running Ubuntu on... [14:27] how come I cannot apt-get install hfsprogs? [14:28] I have Ubuntu installed on ASUS EEE BOX 1501, the idea is to drop it somewhere in corner and control it remotely only. Without SSH & VNC access i would like to set/change some params via web interface. I have no problem with code up this interface via simple apache & php system(), but is there some much lighter solutions/any ready solutions for customizations. [14:28] luxurymode: youneed to find some ext2/3 tool for windows thn. there are some 'stand alone' tools i recall 'ext2explorer' that Might work.. [14:28] tehbaut2: did you tried it with sudo ? [14:28] luxurymode: with winxp it wouldent b complex.. that ifs tool would give the drive a drive letter.. [14:28] I cannot connect to my ubuntu desktop 10.04 via VNC after I rebooted... Any solution? [14:28] hi i now installed java,can anybody tell me how to enable java for google chrome on ubuntu 10.10 [14:28] Dr_Willis, you mean explore2fs. looks ancient. i'll see if it installs [14:29] duron23: I did it after doing judo -i [14:29] sudo* [14:29] tonysan: are u using vino vncserver?..u need to login into the desktop to be able to use it [14:30] tehbaut2: what is the error you are getting ? [14:30] Dr_Willis, the other tool gave it a letter... [14:30] duron23: unable to locate package hfsprogs [14:31] IdleOne, seems like there is a bug in update-manager - triaged for some 9 years :-) [14:31] tehbaut2: is universe repos enabled ? [14:31] how do I check that? [14:31] IdleOne, and dpkg --set-selections should be used instead of aptitude hold [14:31] IdleOne, have got it a got yet though [14:32] a go [14:32] tehbaut2: system - administrator - software sources [14:33] aptitude search hfprogs; ? [14:33] that explains why i didnt think anything was happening in this room.... was scrolled up [14:33] tehbaut2: or system > administrator > synaptic > settings > repositaries [14:33] duron23: found it in synaptic package manager... it was not checked [14:33] tehbaut2: what ? universe repo ? [14:33] lukas__: happy you figured it out [14:34] hello, I installed apache2 and php and apache module php, problem is, that each php script works instead of index.php ....any a [14:34] idea? [14:34] hi [14:34] duron23: yeah, I guess not should be able to install right from synaptic package manager? [14:34] i have rpms of Libre Office can i install it on ubuntu [14:34] now I* [14:34] tehbaut2: yes [14:34] does alien work on rpms?

[14:36] arunkumar413: dont use alien.. theres repos out for it also i think [14:36] morgan_: I know of no mobile/cell management software which works with linux [14:36] morgan_: you can use multisync, hope so [14:36] duron23: hmmm, nope still not seeing it in synaptic [14:36] arunkumar413: if you want to risk trashing your system.. then try the rpms.. [14:36] anyone in here have gfire working with their pidgin? [14:36] multisycn? [14:36] tehbaut2: you need to reload in synaptic [14:36] i use to windows for it [14:36] Dr_Willis: The libre office website has rpm only [14:37] coolness [14:37] duron23: well at least it's working in apt get install now [14:37] but now i use ubuntu [14:37] arunkumar413: if you insist on doing things the hard way.

[14:38] shame libreaoffice and libreasource aren't realted [14:38] arunkumar413: I gave you the link for that earlier. you keep trying to do things the hard way and wrong way. [14:38] Dr_Willis: http://www.muktware.com/news/21/2010/392 [14:38] arunkumar413: http://www.muktware.com/news/21/2010/392 for installing libre office [14:39] bonjoyee: libreoffice is a fork of openoffice?

[15:37] yea i can't get the desktop cube working [15:37] i have all drivers installed [15:37] Dcite: frogballs prob is i'm at work with this laptop, and i want it to lock up every 30 sec, so no one checks my computer if i'm away from it and forgot to lock it, and sometime i'm alone and want to watch some youtube, so i was looking for a solution where i can keep the settings as it is, and can watch youtube without the need to move or press anything while i watch smt [15:37] and compiz active [15:37] checked the enable cube [15:38] instant directions.. i like it a lot...

[16:42] edbian: it was working fine, but it got messed up at once, tried compat drivers [16:42] edbian: yeah, i managed to fix the built in realtek wifi, but the dongle is missing... lsusb shows it [16:42] i have ubuntu 10.04 and im trying to view a quicktime movie, i have mplayer, but i just see a blank screen. any ideas please? [16:43] halvor: o good. There's hope. So it stopped working because you switched the drivers? You have switched them back but not completely? [16:43] why is #sh invite only how do I get in there?

Does the device show up in lspci? [16:45] edbian: then i had none of the two working [16:45] halvor: the two? [16:45] edbian: no, only in lsusb [16:45] edbian: yeah, i have a builz in and the usb dongle (now i'm connected via the built in) [16:46] halvor: U must understand this is all very confusing. Why do you need two? [16:46] edbian: got it in lspci!! [16:46] halvor: Which one is in lspci? [16:46] edbian: the dongle has a removable antenna [16:47] edbian: i have both, sorry, the dongle was just listed at the beginning of the list [16:47] edbian: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0cf3:1006 Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN422G (the dongle) [16:47] halvor: so they both show up in lspci. The internal card works completely but the dongle does not [16:47] edbian: exactly [16:47] halvor: Well that means all we have to do is get the correct module for the usb dongle [16:48] edbian: how could i do that? [16:49] halvor: Well I'm going to begin by googling WN422G to get the name of the module. Then we're going to try to insert it any of them that I can get a name for. If you don't have them then we get to figure out which package they might be in. I'll be back in a second [16:50] edbian: you mean the firmware? [16:50] halvor: No I mean the module. It's software that basically fits into the kernel. It's like a driver in windows [16:50] Do you know the chipset of the dongle? [16:51] halvor: ^^ [16:51] halvor: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc#Component_modules [16:51] ok, I manged it to boot the live-cd [16:51] now I get the following gparted-error: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16811560/ubu1.png -.- [16:51] is there a guru that can help me? I just installed the updates, rebooted my machine, now it sends me to a login prompt, i hit alt-F7 and the last message I see is "Home directory /etc/timidity not ours" [16:52] How do I get foomatic-rip-hplib? [16:52] edbian: oh, i've been to this site before [16:52] edbian: how can i "enable these options in your kernel config"? [16:52] halvor: I'll just start guessing modules. there are only a couple for atheros cards [16:52] halvor: Lemme read it. [16:52] edbian: okkei [16:53] j-invariant: Have you tried running "sudo apt-get install foomatic-rip-hplip" in a terminal? [16:53] nesv: why would I do that? [16:53] tucemiux: Could you please be a little more descriptive? [16:53] everytime i boot up i get hard disk uuid is not ready for mount and gives the uuid number and says press s for skip or m for manual recovery how do i fix this [16:53] j-invariant: Because you asked how to "get" that package. [16:54] halvor: That's for people compiling their own kernel. We don't need to do this becuase the Ubuntu developers already did it for us. [16:54] j-invariant: Are you looking to install it, or get the source code? [16:54] Hi. What's the WINE channel?

What are the permissions of the /etc/timidity folder that it's complaining about? [16:57] edbian: what about /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules [16:57] Dwade09: if u fix the UUID's in fstab u shouldnt get that error, btw is it a different prob u have with fstab? [16:57] nits_hunter, http://pastebin.com/nM15yEP4 is my fstab and i do not have /dev/sda5 [16:57] halvor: If it returns with no errors then that means it 'worked' look at the network applet again [16:57] nesv, theyre owned by root [16:57] Dwade09: hang on please checking it out [16:58] hii,im using ubuntu 10.10,,and im having lots of probs,,lots of programs refuse to open,including google earth,sopcast player,open office,wine,,others,,im quite new to all this,,i can open terminals and copy paste into it,,but have no idea what the commands are. [16:58] tucemiux: Okay. Next, could you please run "grep $USER /etc/passwd" ? [16:58] edbian: modprobe does nothing, no errors, but it's stuck [16:58] Dwade09: /dev/sda5 is the swap area correct? [16:58] nits_hunter, i did have /dev/sda5 but i got rid of it and redone it to just sda with 7.5gb for swap [16:58] not anymore nits_hunter [16:58] halvor: What do you mean it's stuck?

But save your files first. [17:01] tucemiux: DId the updates finish properly, that you know of? Could you try running them again from the console?

[17:02] halvor: I want you to take the dongle out, turn the computer off. Put the dongle back in and boot. Then if wireless isn't working try again to modprobe ath9k_htc [17:02] can i roll back from the system,or do i need to make a new USB with 10.04 on it? [17:02] halvor: sure, good luck!

It is asking me to point it to my wine libs but they are not in the usual place "/usr/lib/wine" Can anyone help me with this? [17:24] crawler: Well you'd have to look at the source code to know that. It probably makes some calls similar to ls (I'm not sure if it actually makes kernel calls or if it calls ls or if there is something that both ls and nautilus F5 use) [17:25] Pht32: try ldd /usr/bin/wine [17:25] crawler: What is the ultimate goal here? [17:26] hi guys, i have an ubuntu ec2 instance and i currently login using the ssh ppk file saved on my machine..i'd like to instead login with a username and password without the ssh keys.. [17:26] Guest96345: Give me a second, I will quickly look it up. [17:26] bonjoyee, http://q4wine.brezblock.org.ua/media/images/shots/winepath.png [17:26] @nesv, I'm waiting. [17:26] Pht32: run that command..and see where the libs are! [17:27] Pht32: ldd /usr/bin/wine [17:27] Guest96345: Okay, it's not a single-liner. [17:27] ##politics is a family friendly channel.

[17:28] crawler: Ahhh, so you wanna force that right away... [17:29] crawler: yeah, the real problem is that there is no API for nautilus (that I know of) [17:30] edbian: yea, it would complete my script :-) i tried a couple of methods, on was xrefresh (doesn't seem to work at all) the other used gconftool-2 to toggle the showing of the nautilus desktop (which crashed nautius). so yea, i'll need to find another way to do this. i posted in nautilus' IRC channel, but no reply yet [17:31] crawler: thanks, way to do it with apt-get/cache?

[17:39] Arachon: search intel in synaptic [17:39] Just set up a new box running lts server. it has two interfaces, both connected to one network. now i got connections coming in on each interface, how can i tell the routing to use the same interface for outgoing traffic as it went in?

[17:41] jeor: sudo gives you root priv for 1 command [17:41] edbian: but I am currently not in /etc/sudoers... so How can I use "sudo"?? [17:41] bonjoyee: am looking.. [17:41] shifnix: I have, trying to get Braid to work, it whines about drivers [17:41] jeor: There is at least one user that can (or ur screwed) [17:41] incidentally, can i make the compiz expose-like feature show just the windows on my current virtual desktop? [17:41] edbian: I have, but I've read that there's supposed to be more, a "xf86-video-intel" package that I can't find [17:42] edbian: all I know is root is disabled by default [17:42] How do I ask a web server which software (apache or whatever) it's running from the command line? [17:42] Arachon: What are your software sources like? [17:42] !root [17:42] 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.

[19:18] use update-rc.d mongodb disable [19:19] mysql is probably a seperate start script though [19:19] nit-wit, i did that before and i have it installed but it wont start at all [19:19] ignarps: thx so far [19:20] bo7amny: still getting same errors? [19:20] ya [19:20] bo7amny, you did what [19:20] nit-wit, "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" [19:21] bo7amny: before or after sudo apt-get install openoffice.org ? [19:21] thomasfuston, He mea iki === Guest40284 is now known as sysop2 === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [19:21] ok can some one give me the ppa of openoffice for ubuntu 10.04 [19:21] bo7amny, it may be as goltoof is suggesting I think that OO was not cleaned out, this may be keeping dependencies. I used the ubuntu tweak sources to do this. [19:22] bo7amny: there is not, openeoffice is already in repositories [19:22] bo7amny, when you ran the apt-get is this when OO was reomved and libreofice was installed [19:22] *removed [19:22] no it was replaced by libreoffice [19:23] o_0 [19:23] bo7amny, which one do you want? [19:23] bo7amny: what error messages are you getting? [19:23] uninstall OO and libreoffice, then reinstall OO [19:23] i want the openoffice 2.3 ppa for ubuntu 10.04 [19:24] running_rabbit07: There is also no list of potential drivers in System > Administration > Additional Drivers. [19:24] goltoof, i tryed that not working [19:24] How do I disable the system-wide spell checking? It's driving me nuts.. [19:24] rusty149, http://paste.ubuntu.com/551198/ [19:24] bo7amny: switch to google docs :p [19:24] bo7amny: that's what i did anyway [19:25] goltoof, i preffer a desktop app :) [19:26] bo7amny, do you mean OO 3 2 [19:26] *3.2 [19:26] bo7amny: i gotcha, in the end it's all a matter of preference [19:26] ya sorry 3.2 [19:26] Can someone tell me how to remove a program with all the associated data so that I can reinstall it completely clean? [19:26] bo7amny: try just installing the packages you want e.g: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-calc [19:27] purpzey, what program? [19:27] i tryed that as well [19:27] purpzey: what program? typically sudo-apt get remove program [19:27] purpzey: sudo apt-get purge [19:27] or for everything try: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org* [19:27] anyone know how I force a 32bit program to look in /usr/lib32? [19:28] purpzey, FYI if the program in question uses your home folder with a .foo type folder - no uninstalling will remove that, you'd need to do it manually. [19:28] any one have the openoffice 3.2 ppa for ubuntu 10.04 ,plz ? [19:28] Hi...the subtitle files can't seem to load up when playing movie in stock Movie Player. Anyone knows how to resolve this? Tried everything. [19:29] bo7amny, OO is a problem at times in removing if you don't know how to do it. So in installing libreoffice OO probably was not removed correctly. You need to remove every package of both from synaptic, then the OO file in home then reinstall OO, as goltoof has suggested in removing purging it all. [19:29] bo7amny: openoffice.org is a metapackage [19:29] quique, are you having issues with 32bit libs on a 64bit OS? if so, are you familiar with the 'getlibs' script? Makes 32bit lib install much easier. It's a script you can find in the ubuntu forum. [19:29] bo7amny: a start http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/773-upgrade-to-openofficeorg-32-final-in-ubuntu-karmic-koala-via-ppa-launchpad [19:29] bo7amny: Can't you simply purge everything related to openoffice and libreoffice first (and delete related ppa's) [19:29] and after that try to make a clean install [19:30] ZykoticK9: no i'm not [19:30] do you have a link? [19:30] sergio91pt: we've discussed that quite a few times already [19:30] thank u all i will try that and come back again :) === derick_ is now known as Guest22120 [19:30] quique, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [19:30] good luck [19:30] goltoof: my bad [19:30] OO is a strange beast at times the OO file from home is left even when purged, and can mess with a reinstalation. === Guest22120 is now known as jacks__ [19:30] What music player is a really good one [19:31] sergio91pt: it is weird that it wouldn't work doing that :/ [19:31] got a problem with gnome-language-selector http://fpaste.org/uwDD/ [19:31] birdman007, what do you want from the player [19:31] birdman007: try Audacious, if you're from Windows background, and used to Winamp [19:31] birdman007: clementine or rhythmbox [19:31] Hi...the subtitle files can't seem to load up when playing movie in stock Movie Player. Anyone knows how to resolve this? Tried everything. [19:32] birdman007: not satisfied with ubuntu default player/organizer rythmbox? [19:32] patience, h-dee [19:32] h-dee, you might try smplayer the front end for the other Mplayer [19:32] h-dee: Are they in a seperate file? [19:32] i'm use to using itunes [19:33] Is there a way to stop ubuntu updating certain packages in a repo when you run apt-get update? [19:33] h-dee: have you selected for it to display the subtitles? after making sure the file is in the same dir as the movie? [19:33] nit-wit: rusty149: I'm using MPlayer to do the job, but just want to know why others are able to load up such files in default Movie Player, but I'm not. === Hekos is now known as hekos [19:33] h-dee: view > subtitles > select subtitles [19:33] goltoof: I tried everything buddy. [19:33] !pin | thomc [19:33] thomc: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:33] h-dee, is it actuall totem [19:33] thomc: you gan go to synaptic and lock the package I think [19:33] *actually [19:34] ZykoticK9: it looks like getlibs [19:34] birdman007: i dont think that is for ubuntu. :p check out rythmbox from Applications>Sound and Video [19:34] just installs [19:34] the libs [19:34] h-dee: i hate sub files, sometimes they're out of sync with the audio.. wish they'd just keep it all in one file somehow [19:34] goltoof: Totem is the stock Movie Player I think. If yes, I'm talking about that only. [19:34] it doesn't make it use them === hekos is now known as Hekos [19:34] h-dee: right, totem = mplayer [19:34] init? [19:34] h-dee, is it movie player or Mplayer your using [19:34] goltoof: actually I've tried all .ssa, .srt, .sub No one shows up. [19:35] got a problem with gnome-language-selector http://fpaste.org/uwDD/ [19:35] h-dee: Go to Help > About to be sure of program name. [19:35] nit-wit: I'm able to get the files work with MPlayer, but the Movie Player which came by default with Ubuntu installation don't load such files. [19:35] quique, to for 32bit you could try running the app like "linux32 ls" replace ls with whatever you are actually running. [19:35] h-dee: What is the file extension? [19:35] rusty149: Its Totem. [19:36] rusty149: Tried srt, ssa, sub. All failed to show up. [19:36] h-dee, for subtitles I use vlc or smplayer which is a front end for Mplayer. Totem in my maverick set up is noe called movie player [19:36] h-dee, i use mplayer for almost everything (i have for years), i think Totem is poor in quality - and seems to cause a lot of issues. [19:36] *now [19:36] buonasera [19:37] h-dee: OK, but what is the format and extension of the file you are loading? Or have you got multiple files? [19:37] list [19:37] ZykoticK9, its a mistery why totem is bundled by default, is it about licensing? [19:37] hey , all operations for package installation return me this: E: Invalid operation package_name [19:37] nitwit: ZykoticK9: I use MPlayer for that, but just curious to know why Totem didn't showed up subs when other people using the same app can use such files without facing any such issues (checked via Ubuntu forums) [19:37] brontoeee, ? i have no idea - i don't make the decisions ;) [19:37] Totem is awesome btw, that is why it is default [19:38] rusty149: I tried .srt, .ssa, .sub files. [19:38] ZykoticK9: i tried that already, and it didn't work [19:38] my update manager doesn't work too [19:38] h-dee: tried purgin/reinstalling? [19:38] ddlhits.com [19:39] quique, sorry don't know then. Best of luck. [19:39] goltoof: I reinstalled whole ubuntu 2 days back (corrupted some system files), but still the same problem. [19:39] h-dee: Totem Movie Player will automatically load and display subtitles for a video if it finds a subtitle file with the same name as the video being played, and the extension asc, txt, sub, srt, smi, ssa or ass. [19:39] h-dee: yeah but remove --purge totem/mplayer then reinstall [19:40] rusty149: Exactly! And what's what ain't happening at all. [19:40] h-dee: right, sub file must be same name as movie file name [19:40] i think :s [19:40] goltoof: I know that. Thanks. I'll try re-installing that app again. [19:42] hi everyone.

[21:01] oh I misunderstood you [21:01] ignarps: he asked how to launch a program in the *remote display* [21:02] ah reminds me the days of xcrowbar [21:02] normally thats 'export DISPLAY=:0' [21:02] marine1, i would reinstall all versions tru synaptic [21:02] hi, I've got a laptop running linux which doesn't boot.

[21:04] shomon: well, i'd start by googling the errors.. what version of ubuntu? [21:04] not sure, what is that? It's the latest nds 10.04? [21:05] genii-around: Actually that thing lists packages that were pulled as dependencies [21:05] Oer: yes bro so once fresh install is done then reload apps or just go thur synaptic?? [21:05] oops yes lts, ignarps [21:05] it seems to be a root terminal with a few commands in it [21:05] like wget etc [21:06] but I'll see what some more of the errors are...

What does this mean/how to fix? [21:09] marine1, you use it in terminal, or use the list as refference for package choosing in synaptic [21:09] shomon: yeah, those busybox errors are hard to troubleshoot. [21:09] :) ah so it's not just me [21:09] well lots to read, but I want to know just if it's software and fixable or a job for the laptop shop [21:10] Oer: yes so after the frsh install is done the use the command in the terminal?

XD [21:43] tas, 1) tar xzvf setup.tar.gz === fersanbla is now known as Neo64 [21:44] tas: what are you trying to do? [21:44] shomon, does your system boot okay off of the install CD? Usually when I get dropped into busybox it is because my initramfs doesn't have the correct driver or maybe md support [21:44] shomon, is this a fresh install or upgrade? [21:44] delac: I don't see the command line flag in tightvncviewer, but it is -LowColourLevel 0 in xvnc4viewer [21:44] guntbert, trying to install theme I downloaded .tar.gz it got instructions from where I downloaded it... [21:44] ignarps: no it doesn't boot [21:45] tas: sorry, no idea about themes here [21:45] shomon, how did you put the OS on your laptop then if the install ISO does not boot? [21:45] well, now it doesn't. It just one day didn't boot again [21:46] tas untar it to ~./theme ? [21:46] try hooking up an external usb cd drive and see if it will boot from that [21:46] Lantchips, how? [21:46] Which I had Ubuntu on this PC :( [21:46] sounds like failing hardware if it used to boot and now doesn't [21:46] tas wait I will see if I can find a good guide for you [21:46] oh well... thanks ignarps [21:46] agentgasmask: well, i'll see about that, but here's my current setting (the script I use to connect). any other ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/551242/ [21:46] Lantchips, ok thanks. [21:46] do you think I'll be able to diagnose what is wrong hardware wise? [21:47] who knows about WebDataServiceConsumer [21:47] tas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl-tmGfQrzs :) Think this should work [21:47] depends how good your troubleshooting and problem isolation skills are [21:47] oops, wrong channel :P [21:47] try to think of tests to rule out good hardware vs bad hardware [21:48] ignarps: any idea where to start? maybe some linux kernel docs somewhere? [21:48] shomon, your thinking too deep. [21:48] :) [21:48] shomon, test to see your cd drive works first then try to boot of an external cd drive [21:49] ok. well as far as I can tell it's an identical boot whether the ubuntu disc is in or not [21:49] if you can not boot from the ubuntu install CD and it used to work. Then something is broken. [21:49] it recognises an external usb drive though [21:49] hi [21:49] delac: Looks like your more advanced than me... I would say give xvnc4viewer a try, for what it's worth. Good luck! [21:49] if I plug one in... maybe I could get a bootable thing on there? [21:49] tas Something like that you were wondering ? [21:50] shomon, that sounds like you are not actually booting off of the cd-rom then. You have to either select a custom boot order on bootup. Or change your bios to boot from the cdrom [21:50] I've downloaded a package with 'apt-get --download-only source'. what is the command to build the package ? [21:50] I did. it gives me an option to do that at boot [21:50] I went through all of the options after it didn't boot once [21:50] Lantchips, I think so, I am watching it, give me a moment please. [21:50] from the cd I mean. [21:51] shomon, okay so it "does boot from cdrom" you said it didn't [21:51] shomon, so back to the first question. Is this a new install or upgrade ? [21:51] no, it doesn't! sorry for confusion there [21:51] shomon, first step is to get your cdrom to boot the install iso then. [21:51] no, it won't boot from cdrom, so because it didn't I went through all the boot order options that there were (it wasn't that clear which one was the cd) [21:52] shomon, the reason I say this. Is that kernel should detect and support most hardware. ruling out a kernel config problem with the OS on your HD [21:52] hi all, I have a question, I have a 80GB hard drive (small I know) and I have it dual booting winxp and ubuntu 10.10, when I click on my partition for windows XP, it has various different names when it mounts, I'd like it if it had a constant name, and mounted at startup, so I can link certain programs (like rhythm box to my itunes folder) between ubuntu and XP, how would I do this? [21:53] the other options just gave a couple of lines of error as expected, but cd and hard drive boot was identical... [21:53] ajwill: so name it [21:53] Weedy: but how, it wont let me, and I have no idea how to have it mount at startup [21:53] uhh [21:53] shomon, do you have any other bootable cd's to test? Maybe your cd is bad [21:53] disk utility or something [21:53] no, it loads up okay on this box here, as a package disk with ubuntu stuff in it. [21:54] so I'm pretty sure it is okay. [21:54] Weedy: okay so disk utility, how would I name it? [21:54] Lantchips, I think thats it, let me try doing it now :D [21:54] then sounds like something hardware wise is broken on your laptop [21:54] tas Good luck :) [21:54] ignarps: I just tried another one just in case [21:54] ajwill: ... the label button [21:55] ah! now it works! [21:55] thanks ignarps, looks like I'm a step forward now... the cd was the problem! [21:55] Weedy: and changing the label wont corrupt any data or anything? [21:55] it's just a label [21:55] shomon, anytime. Remember to practice problem isolation when troubleshooting stuff. [21:56] shomon, break the problem down into smaller pieces. don't get stuck on the big scary errors :) [21:56] excellent tecnique! [21:56] technique even... === NG_ is now known as ng_ [21:56] Weedy, okay now, how would I get it set up to mount at startup? [21:57] Can anyone tell me a good PCI Wifi Card for that is linux compatible out of the box? [21:58] ajwill: i dunno, mine mounts on startup [21:58] is there a GUI configuration tool I can use to configure Apache? [21:58] ajwill, you could add it to mount from /etc/fstab [21:58] ignarps: okay, how would I do that? [21:59] DarkStar1 try search in google 'gui apache configuration utilite' [22:00] ajwill, did you put a LABEL on it ?

[22:21] okay I tried that... gunna reboot and see if it works :) [22:21] I just saw a reference to phpmyadmin on the system (whilst trying to locate httpd.conf) how do I access phpmyadmin? [22:23] CaneToad: Close the terminal? [22:23] soreau: did that, everything is still locked up with the mouse [22:24] CaneToad: Is it behaving as if a modifier key is pressed? (ie. ctl, alt, shift, etc) [22:24] CaneToad, are there window-controls? (close,min,max)? [22:24] soreau: no [22:24] rumpe1: yes [22:25] okay that may have worked! [22:25] but now that that's worked, another problem has arisen [22:25] blarg [22:25] the WINXP partition I mounted earlier [22:25] Novice ubuntu user needs help getting Mplayer set up with VAAPI (Intel video output)! [22:25] its mounting at startup [22:26] however in places [22:26] ! enter | ajwill [22:26] ajwill: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:26] soreau/rumpe1, I have an xev window open now, and if I move the mouse over it or do anything on it, it reports NO EVENTS AT ALL [22:26] ubottu: okay [22:26] ajwill: He's a bot. [22:26] CaneToad: Have you tried replugging the mouse? [22:26] yup [22:26] soreau: and the mouse works fine plugged in elsewhere [22:26] there's nothing in dmesg about any trouble [22:27] CaneToad: Does this still happen after reboot? [22:27] no, nor if I restart X [22:27] okay, again in one line, I got that partition mounting at startup, but under the "Places" menu, there's two WINXP options, one takes me to the mounted partition, the other says it cannot mount it, how would I get rid of the second option? [22:27] CaneToad: What makes it start? [22:27] soreau: but this happens almost every day or second day...drives me bananas [22:27] soreau: I think it is related to grabs initiated by pop up menus [22:27] ajwill: Do you happen to have two entries in /etc/fstab for winxp? [22:27] soreau: I don't have a consistent way to start it happening yet [22:28] hello friends, is there a list somewhere of all software included with ubuntu? [22:28] ajwill: fdisk -l, how many xp is there? [22:28] Hi, I am connecting my PC through WiFi and sharing its connection to my other non-wifi PC via ethernet [22:28] dand3h: synaptic package manager [22:28] ajwill: Possibly the second partition is "System Reserved" There are boot configuration and other stuff of your Windows XP. [22:28] Is there a way to tunnel all connections from the other PC through SSH? [22:28] shcherbak: only one xp [22:29] ajwill: So, I won't recommend you to get rid of that partition. [22:29] soreau: nope, only one [22:29] ajwill: have you mounted xp manually? [22:29] soreau: I am just downloading ubuntu now, I just was wondering if there was some list [22:29] t [22:29] shcherbak: yes, I ran "mount /dev/sda1 /media/WINXP" [22:29] dand3h: there's really not a whole lot of "programs" installed by default... but the software center has a lot that can be installed [22:30] soreau: I am not sure if this is related, but something changed in X to bring on this problem in the emacs editor, and I suspect a number of other applications might be affected https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/569914 [22:30] ajwill: can you cd to /media/WINXP and ls? [22:30] im trying to setup a mail server but no mail is getting out [22:30] bs-pupil, look up how to use ssh -D [22:31] bs-pupil, it will let you use another machine as a socks proxy [22:31] shcherbak: okay, just my windows XP files, program files, documents and settings, etc [22:31] Thank you sir, Now please , I have another question, does the Java DK work with linux? Can I still program in Java and c++? Sorry for noob question! [22:31] ajwill: what is second fat/ntfs in fdisk -l? [22:31] ignarps, I know that. But I want to transparently - for all programs - set that proxy. [22:31] as in, system wide [22:31] (I can do it in OS X, wondering how to do it in Ubunut) [22:31] dand3h, yes [22:31] soreau: anyway....brb because I need to restart X.... [22:32] How can I give write permissions? [22:32] rumpe1: Thank you very much. I hope you have nice life [22:32] PsPhaKeR_: chmod [22:32] bs-pupil, Settings -> Preferences -> Network and specify your proxy [22:32] shcherbak: there are none, fdisk -l only shows my one windows partition, its in the places menu (top left by default) that there's two WINXP's [22:32] Thanks very much all. [22:32] dand3h: Try #friendly-coders [22:32] ignarps, thanks! might be what I want, will try [22:33] How can I give write permissions to a particular fol [22:33] der*folder [22:33] Novice ubuntu user needs help getting Mplayer set up with VAAPI (Intel video output)!

[22:35] Novice ubuntu user needs help getting (S)Mplayer set up with VAAPI (Intel video output)! [22:36] the i/o wait has a larger impact on load avg then cpu usage [22:36] PsPhaKeR_: is this for something in /var/www ?? [22:36] ignarps i was using http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ this tutorial and it doesn't work now [22:36] ok, also when I turn the computer on it gives me alot of options to boot from. They are something like Ubuntu, Ubuntu, memtest, memtest, etc.. When I first installed Ubuntu it did not do this. Can I get rid of it? [22:36] Scunizi: /usr/local/ps3dev [22:36] Is there a recommended app that will split video files into say 10 minute segments so they can be posted on Youtube etc? [22:37] goddard, wow that is a huge list of apps you are trying to implement. maybe start smaller :) [22:37] ajwill: i my guess nautilus is responsible, what if you umount xp? [22:37] goddard, but you need to be more concise as to what exactly is not working. We can not guess [22:37] ajwill: Try opening nautilus (the file browser) and do ctrl+b to open the bookmarks. Do you see the entries there? [22:37] ignarps im un sure how to debug to give you more info [22:37] PsPhaKeR_: and what does that file/folder do? If it's from something that you downloaded and installed you probably used sudo to install.. and may not have needed to. [22:38] goddard, well I don't know how to help you then [22:38] soreau: nope neither of them are there... [22:38] shcherbak: okay gunna try that [22:38] It is a file I made through the terminal (sudo mkdir ps3dev). I am installing the ps3 toolchain. It will store my compiler stuff. [22:39] PsPhaKeR_: the new menu on boot is Grub and it looks like you had a kernel update at some point.. the most current kernel is the top one.. good to keep 2.. when you get 3 you can remove the oldest through synaptic package manager [22:39] ajwill: Do you see them on the left pane in the file browser? Can you right click there? [22:39] ignarps i can tell you whats in the log files [22:39] goddard, make a pastebin with your details. [22:39] Scunizi: can I have it autoboot the top one? [22:39] PsPhaKeR_: perhaps it's better located in /home where you don't have to compromise the security of your machine. [22:39] !work | goddard [22:39] goddard: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:39] PsPhaKeR_: it will auto boot from the top one.. ie.. should after a few seconds. [22:39] soreau: I do, okay...

[22:41] Also, when I boot my computer up it takes about 3-4 minutes to launch into Ubuntu (in the 3-4 minutes the screen stays black and flashs some text, then dissapears, then goes into Ubuntu [22:41] soreau: yes I can [22:41] Also it has to be in usr/local/ps3dev [22:41] shcherbak:thnx friend [22:41] goer: look at link, i guess yes [22:41] goer: thanks [22:41] ajwill: Can you try to remove the faulty entry?

[22:43] ajwill: Ok, pastebin the output of 'mount' from your terminal to ubuntu.pastebin.com [22:43] PsPhaKeR_: 3-4 minutes is a different issue.. just means something isn't setup right.. do a full update with .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... and see if that helps at all.. permissions are done with .. sudo chown :root /location/of/file .. that will make you part owner I believe. [22:44] bs-pupil, I don't understand. one would direct while the other uses the proxy on the other machine [22:44] checked i out. I need a gui as mencoder is terminal I think [22:44] ok, will see [22:44] oh I have to go... I'll have to fix this when I get back from band practice tonight, thanks for your help everyone!! [22:45] ignarps, I want to transparently route all traffic from the other PC through the proxy. [22:45] whereas "other machine" is really a console. [22:45] Scunizi: I did that thing in the terminal, (the update one) and now what? [22:45] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* [22:45] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* [22:46] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* [22:46] Re, python question, synaptic should do it - mine is showing 2.6.6 as installed by 10.10 [22:46] bs-pupil, using ssh -D to setup a socks proxy should do most things. to pass everything you would have to setup the other console box to do nat [22:47] PsPhaKeR_: did it update a lot? did it ask for a reboot? if not then you won't be able to tell until the next reboot if it did anything.. typing dmesg > /home/Desktop/dmesg.txt will output a lot of info on the boot process to look for errors. [22:47] I ran out of * [22:47] thanks [22:47] Good evening [22:47] good morning [22:47] Would need some brainstorming help. Thinking about getting myself a Thinkpad X40 for a cheap price. [22:48] Should I run Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition or perhaps even 10.10 with KDE ? [22:48] bash: no such file or directory [22:49] PsPhaKeR_: sorry .. dmesg > /home//Desktop/dmesg.txt [22:49] Which one would be better for the X40? [22:50] DrGrov, is it in this list ? http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/release/10.10/laptops/ [22:51] Oer: Yes, it is. My cousin has used Ubuntu 9.04 on it. So pretty sure 10.10 works as well [22:51] nice [22:51] Oer: But of course double checking now. [22:51] Wow, just looked at that file... I don't get one bit of it :| Can I paste it to github and show it to you? [22:51] PsPhaKeR_: ok.. [22:51] Weedy, would you mind explaining how the i/o would skew the load average? [22:51] DrGrov: Should you would like too choose between a light/medium weight OS or Heavyweight OS? :P [22:51] PsPhaKeR_: or pastebin.com [22:51] intrader, load is more of a dummy light [22:52] Oer: It is not on that list but usually IBM Thinkpads are well supported. [22:52] intrader, you can not look at load alone to figure out where your resources are being used [22:52] Ryu_Kurisu: That is the question actually. I will be using it for my studies on a daily basis. [22:52] Scinizi: https://gist.github.com/69cc79a7a8668909363f [22:52] intrader: the loadavg calculation considers it more important [22:52] Ryu_Kurisu: So it would not need to be too heavy but I would prefer surely something nice like KDE, GNOME or XFCE on it. [22:53] DrGrov: get XFCE [22:53] ignarps, I am looking using top and the CPU load is rarely above 4% [22:53] if it's not shiney enough get gnome [22:53] Weedy: Why would you suggest XFCE? [22:53] but starting with kde sucks if you change your mind [22:54] DrGrov, i google on the specs, lightweight desktop like weedy says or netbook like you suggested [22:54] what does wa show ? [22:54] XFCE is lightweight [22:54] my netbook runs netbookremix [22:54] Weedy, thanks for info. [22:54] try them both live :-) [22:54] gnomeshell sucks :/ [22:54] DrGrov: On Ubuntu you have comfort of trying and desktop/window manager, from Xmonad to latest Kde, with no effort. [22:54] Weedy: Not anymore I've heard...it's mediumweight like gnome... [22:54] mutter is a crashy SOB [22:54] XFCE falls far behind many other lightweight WMs, though. [22:55] In terms of resource usage. [22:55] FLUXBOX [22:55] IceWM. [22:55] * Weedy put on his hardcore hat [22:55] acutally [22:55] Weedy: DrGrov: You might like Lubuntu :) [22:55] hardcore would be twm [22:55] what is a zombie process [22:55] intrader, you can also run. "vmstat 5" and look at the last 4 colums . User System idle Wait time. [22:55] shcherbak: Yes that is what I am doing on my desktop computer. But this would be for my IBM Thinkpad X40 which I am about to trade in for. [22:55] i've used twm [22:55] Awesome above all! [22:55] not bad once skinned [22:56] Fluxbox I really love, have had it for several years on my old hardware before I got myself the HP xw9300 Workstation. [22:56] goddard, you can google that question [22:56] ignarps i just irced it instead :D [22:56] How is Netbook Remix actually working out, Weedy ? [22:57] crashy as fuck :/ [22:57] I am a new user trying to find help regarding "problem loading page" errors. [22:57] mutter restarts atleast 4-5 times a day [22:57] PsPhaKeR_: that list is what most every machine goes through to boot.. I can't tell anything by the list.. but someone should be able to parse most of it for you.. sorry. [22:57] Weedy: dont wake up ops... [22:58] Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to secure my Belking router, but get errors every time I click on a link from their help page. [22:58] Ok [22:58] scottie_ dont use there help page [22:58] but something would be better if i could auto-boot the first choice in the list when you boot up [22:58] How do I do it? [23:00] scottie_ move your mouse away and avoid clicking [23:00] it's nowhere near... [23:00] Is there any drawback using Mutt instead of Evolution in Ubuntu? Is there any important feature that Mutt is missing? [23:00] The `top` list is showing something called 'beam' using 5%. What is 'beam'? [23:00] Weedy: So then better to go for standard 10.10 and configure it from there? === |pLr| is now known as pLr [23:01] PsPhaKeR_: it does autoboot the first choice if you don;t select anything [23:01] realubot: i personally think mutt is a bit crummy if you want to use pop servers, you have to setup a mail server + fetchmail for it to beworking fast (2 yrs ago) [23:01] DrGrov: i'm still running it [23:01] it's shiney [23:01] :3 [23:02] Weedy: Ok, good. [23:02] I will give 10.10 a go tomorrow if I get the X40 by then. [23:02] I hope the little monster machine will deliver [23:02] hi everyon [23:02] e [23:02] DrGrov, be bold. Install 11.04 [23:03] DrGrov: i want a X60t [23:03] wrd: That doesn't sound good. === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 [23:04] I found out that the oldest versions of Ubuntu works faster than the last one, is it just me? [23:05] alberto_: probly because of all the features you're not getting? [23:05] I have 10.10 and I think it's slow. [23:05] ignarps: Sure, could install basically anything bleeding edge since I will still not need to use it for about a week or so. [23:05] Weedy: I hope the 200 eur I will trade in for for the X40 is not too much. [23:05] goltoof, what do you mean? [23:06] PsPhaKeR_: you should file a bug about the boot time and attach the dmesg report.. 10.10 is suppose to be a faster booting system. [23:06] realubot: well I've got 6k messages on my pop account ... mutt wants to download all of em [23:06] Well, thanks for now. [23:06] my postfix master config file has a content_filter= [23:06] realubot: but you can keep the mailserver local. [23:06] this is giving an error [23:07] Please anyone, what is the 'beam' application? I can't find information about it; is uses 3 to 6% of cpu [23:07] alberto_: i think someone else would need to elaborate.. but there are numerous factors involved.. the system you're running, what services you need/don't need.. ie, there are a lot of things enabled by default that you could turn off and make it run even faster than older revs.. can't think of any examples though [23:07] Anyone know how to go about securing a network? I can't do it through the links on my router's help page. [23:07] alberto_: i run 10.10 and it's bangin! but i got a bangin system though.. [23:07] scottie_ usually you go to the yours ip address and login [23:08] wrd: The Mutt homepage says it has pop support: http://www.mutt.org/#features [23:08] intrader: apt-cache search beam [23:08] and Now i want to install Xp as guest OS...I have 200 MB for XP of 1 Gb total...what should be my storage settings??? i am going to include screen shot after this [23:09] I asked it because it seemed so strange. I removed everything i didn't need, but still older revs work faster. I didn't know if it was just me, or something normal [23:09] Thanks goddard. If it's the ip address I looked up, it gave me the "problem loading page" error, too. But I'll check it out again. [23:09] goltoof, why is it executing as search? [23:10] induz: Are you using VirtualBox or something? [23:10] wrd: "For "once in a while" remote access mutt's built-in support for POP/ IMAP is nice, but for frequent/ high volume POP access MRA like fetchmail are recommended." [23:10] alberto_, works faster is a loaded statement. faster at what ? and what metrics do you have to compare. Or is it just perceived faster to you ? [23:10] http://i.imgur.com/KYHDi.png [23:10] VB [23:10] p_res, Vbox [23:10] induz: I hope you don't mean 200MB for allocated ram? [23:11] intrader: that's one way to look for a package, but i'm not finding a "beam" application [23:11] wrd: What does "one in a while mean"? One a day, week, month? [23:11] ignarps- I just switched from windows to 10.10 and it's noticeably slower. [23:11] i mean 200 MB for allocate RAM === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [23:11] hola [23:11] alquien por aqui ? [23:11] less CPU and RAM used, as an example. I still have 512ram and it's such a pain [23:11] !es | precubcr [23:11] precubcr: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest55659 [23:11] induz: That's not much, even for Win XP guest. I have several XP guests on my system. I also only have 1GB total ram but usually allocate at least 384MB to XP. [23:12] goltoof, 'How to use apt-cache' tells me 'This command is not to be used by common users.' [23:12] scottie_, again what is slower? [23:12] intrader: lol.... ok [23:12] intrader: just type "apt-cache search [string] [23:12] why isnt Linux kernel 2.6.37 available for Maverick 10.10 in the kernel ppa? [23:12] " [23:12] It definitely takes longer to load pages when browsing. [23:12] alberto_, yeah for lack of ram you would have to turn off a lot of services like readahead and other apps that expect people to have lots of ram [23:12] hello [23:13] ok I am going to allocate 350 MB RAM for Xp [23:13] i am new in ubuntu [23:13] induz: If you plan to not do anything else whilst running the VM, allocate 512MB. [23:13] intrader: [string] being the keyword to search for, beam [23:13] induz: Use 384MB. [23:13] 384 MB final [23:13] i have a lilt better machine [23:13] induz: ;-) [23:13] i have a 4 gb o ram [23:13] hi! I'm trying to get ipv6 working in Ubuntu. thought it was turned on by default, but cannot access pages like http://www.v6.facebook.com etc. ipv6 works in win7 (on my other partition) but not in ubuntu. [23:14] scottie_: i don't see the use in you griping about things being slow, if you have something specific to address, that's more what this room is for [23:14] but I have 80GB HD on which my Ubuntu also run...how much should i allocate to XP? [23:14] goltoof, I am thoroughly confused - I am looking at why 'beam' is using 5% of cpu [23:14] induz: Just the default 10GB and it will expand as required. [23:15] how can i allocate 10GB to Xp? [23:15] I was answering alberto's comment because I have the same version and he thought it was slow. I'm not griping. I am trying to figure out why I get so many "problem loading page". Just got ubuntu. Trying to figure it out. I like it so far despite the learning curve. [23:15] induz: When you setup the machine, you will get this option presented to you on screen. [23:15] intrader, do you have erlang-base installed ? [23:15] what would you guys suggest for a 512mb ram machine? I can't decide between crunchbang/xfce/lxde/ecc, i just don't know what is better (not too heavy, not too minimal) [23:16] intrader: are you in terminal [23:16] alberto: try IceVM. [23:16] how do i set up a static ip using network tools? [23:16] alberto: I mean "IceWM." [23:16] alberto_: What is wrong the vanilla Ubuntu? [23:16] I go to VB--Setting-->storage-->SATA controller and IDE controller?? [23:16] goltoof, I got top running [23:17] alberto_: the less minimal is xfce [23:17] induz: System > Base memory. [23:17] yo [23:17] I am trying to add DNS servers, should I separate them by commas? [23:17] realubot: well opening my 6k mailbox takes about half an hour (900mb) [23:17] alberto_: Keep in mind XFCE uses almost the same amount of ram as GNOME these days anyway. [23:17] realubot: if you delete your mails on your pop account regulary it shouldn't be a problem .. [23:17] memory is done to 384MB..now the storage [23:17] People, who knows how to remove Artist X from system? [23:18] I love thunderbird 3 for mail on linux [23:18] there is no fucking documentation for half the shit on ubuntu [23:18] evolution is a pos [23:18] * breadcrumb slaps ignarps around a bit with a large trout [23:18] hi can i deleted /var/cache/apt/archives/* without breaking anything? [23:18] realubot: you can try it yourself start mutt hit 'c' and enter your mail account details (pop://username@server) [23:18] s/eleted/elete [23:18] realubot: and then have a look yourself [23:18] can someone tell me if i am running ubuntu 9.10 and am fully updated what kernel should i be running, whats the easiest way of finding out what the latest available is? [23:18] induz: If you have the VM already setup then your storage settings should be set already. [23:18] ignarps, how do I find out if I have erlang installed, I don't recall installing it. - I did find that 'beam' could be related to erlang [23:18] jospams, there is tons of documentation. example ? [23:19] ignarps, network tools [23:19] ignarps, I am trying to setup a static ip [23:19] i can't work with vanilla ubuntu because i have to use the swap too early, everything slows down, and the CPU isn't in a better position. That's why i need something "less-heavy", but still not too minimal [23:19] any way to configure tightvncserver not to require password? I'm trying to use tightvncserver instead of x11vnc in this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/551242/ [23:19] Does anybody knows how to remove Artist X? [23:19] jospams, okay and you want to do that with a gui or cli ? [23:19] alberto_: I have no idea what you mean by that post?!? [23:19] ignarps, gui [23:19] http://i.imgur.com/KYHDi.png [23:20] induz: I can't open my browser atm. [23:20] M0nk3Ee: sudo apt-get update && lsb_release -a && uname -a && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:20] ignarps, the dns servers box makes no sense [23:20] alberto_: Try lubuntu. [23:20] induz, you can't resize a disk once you've made it. delete it and make a new one and set the size you want. [23:20] ignarps, i have the primary and secondary dns address === liny_man is now known as DaGeek247 [23:21] here is the Hard disk screenshot http://i.imgur.com/9uk92.png [23:21] p_res, you asked what was wrong with vanilla ubuntu [23:21] alberto_: swapoff, metacity --replace, use xfce [23:21] ignarps, should I separate them with commas [23:21] alberto_: I did. But that post made no sense. [23:21] should i create a new HD or use the xisiting one [23:21] jospams, I just looked and the tooltip says to seperate them with commas [23:21] induz: I'd suggest start setting up a new machine from scratch. [23:22] ok let me try that [23:22] i'm sorry, i don't always make correct english sentences [23:22] ignarps, is the address local address or internet address [23:22] jospams, hover your mouse over the input box. it will give a desc on what it wants [23:22] alberto_: ;-) [23:22] i guess its local address [23:23] jospams, I don't understand the question [23:23] p_res, I am setting up a new machine of VB...should i creat a new HD of 10Gb or use exisiting HD?? === david is now known as Guest7591 [23:23] DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO DELETE ARTIST X FROM SYSTEM? [23:23] induz: New hdd. [23:23] sapsan: Don't use caps. [23:23] sapsan, TRY CAPS-LOCK [23:24] ignarps, i looked in synaptinc and it shows that erlang-base is instlaled. Maybe that is running 'beam' [23:24] ok, Its working now as i have created a new HD [23:24] of 10 GB [23:24] anyone using the pidgin ppa notice there are no account menus under the account menu? [23:24] induz: Great! [23:24] intrader: the beam (and erlang) packages are used by desktop couch, which is a database system used by some of the apps (such as tomboy, evolution and gwibber before maverick), because it can be then synced with ubuntu one...I usually uninstall it myself because it does take a bunch of cpu time [23:24] sapsan: artist x [23:24] Weedy: everything here actually [23:24] wrd: Yeah, but the Mutt homepage says No SSL after POP. Does it lack of encryption? [23:24] intrader, that is what I got from this. apt-file search beam | grep '\/beam$' [23:24] Xp is loading files on VB now thanksa guys [23:25] I am having sound problems in Mupen64plus. I am using default configuration but the sound is not smooth, it is all choppy [23:25] intrader, apt-file is not installed by default. you have to add it [23:25] induz: Cheers. Glad you got it working. I'm doing the same thing as we speak. [23:25] wrd: i do have an account menu, it just doesn't work like it's supposed to [23:25] ignarps, after i select method: manual, click add, enter address will it be my local address or ip address [23:25] induz: I'm currently installing the Service Pack 3. [23:25] hi is there a way to determine the installed programs on a non-booted install? LIke from a live-cd or something? [23:25] Weedy: manage accounts | enable accounts? [23:25] its asking me to format the HD as NTFS [23:25] ignarps, sorry for confusion early on [23:25] induz: Yep. Do that. [23:25] Weedy: it says i'm running 2.6.31-22-386 which is the latest then for 9.10... will 2.6.35 make it to 9.10 or because 9.10 is the stable release it will freeze there? [23:25] sp3 means u r almost done [23:26] another problem that i found, is that everytime i turn on my computer it doesn't work at the first time. A black screen stops everything right after the boot choice, and i have to manually shut down and turn on again. Than everything works perfectly. It happens everyday, and nobody in the italian forum gave me an answer. [23:26] wat [23:26] p_res, I am new to Ubuntu [23:26] jospams, ip address [23:26] i thought .32 was for 9.10 [23:26] induz: We're all new at some point mate. ;-) [23:26] wrd: they account's work, but now i need an option from the menu [23:26] rumpe1 Right now it doesn't work CAPS LOCK [23:26] kaddi_: why is this a concern? just curious [23:26] kaddi_, boot the system then do chroot /mnt. you can then run any commands like the system is up [23:26] M0nk3Ee: linux-image-generic is frozen at 2.6.31 for 9.10. [23:27] p_res, actually i wanted to use MS Words 2007... and It gave me headache on wine so i have decided to use VB [23:27] 192.168.1.0? [23:27] sapsan, o.O [23:27] rww: what is running .32? [23:27] ignarps, I do use ubuntu-one; is that using beam? [23:27] !noob [23:27] Weedy: 10.04 [23:27] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [23:27] Weedy: / rww thanks [23:27] oh [23:27] oh snap [23:27] Weedy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-generic [23:27] most of the work from school are on XP [23:27] intrader, no idea on that. Sorry [23:27] induz: I use several XP VM's. But I only setup one and then clone the vdi using the vboxmanage clonevdi tool. === brian_ is now known as brianfreud [23:27] KM0201: my system died and I have an almost complete image of the dead drive, I would like to get a list of what I used to have installed from the image so that I won't spend three weeks trying to remmeber what I had installed [23:27] trying to update telepathy-butterfly to its latest version I have insalled the ppa but I still cant see it in the spm [23:27] induz is correct most schools use xp [23:27] intrader: have you tried killing the process? [23:27] ignarps, 192.168.1.0? [23:28] jospams, I don't know your network information. sorry [23:28] goltoof: kill it, see if it messes anything up [23:28] kaddi_: so you want to know installed "packages" not installed programs [23:28] Weedy: sorry not getting you [23:28] My sound is all crackly and choppy in Mupen64plus on the default config. Has anyone got the same issue? [23:28] goltoof, I will kill it see what happens? [23:28] rumpe1 What do you mean? [23:28] intrader: sometimes another app will have another process running along side it [23:28] what is search domains? [23:28] Whats the difference between a package and a program installer [23:28] intrader: yes, kill it [23:28] ignarps, what is search domains? [23:28] sapsan, what is "artist x"? [23:28] kaddi_: kaddi_ you can dd drive [23:28] KM0201: yes, that's what I meant (to type) but obviously I said something different? [23:29] where can i find that tool p_res ?? [23:29] jospams, domain suffix search order [23:29] kaddi_: you said programs [23:29] induz: It's installed with VirtualBox. [23:29] sapsan: yeah, what is it? [23:29] starfishblub: a program installer does something. A Package contains some thing(s) [23:29] shcherbak: i have as full an image as I can get with ddrescue.. [23:29] induz: Has to be used on command-line. [23:29] starfishblub, a package is something, your package-manager can handle [23:29] What is the format of a file installer in ubuntu [23:29] jospams, if you don't know what domain suffix search order is. You probably don't need to use it [23:30] intrader: think if there's anything else you installed that might require some weird thing like that [23:30] rumpe1 It is new version of ubuntu http://www.artistx.org/site2/ [23:30] ignarps, what would I type for google to be my search domain [23:30] starcoder, ubuntu uses debian based packages. .deb files. [23:30] jospams: a suffix being the . at the end of a name such as .exe] [23:30] jospams, it has nothing to do with web search. leave it blank [23:30] induz: Just type "vboxmanage clonevdi ~/sourcevdi /destinationvdi" [23:30] How do I make one? [23:30] KM0201: sorry about that, I meant to say packages [23:31] induz: And change the source and destination text to suit your system of course. [23:31] goltoof, done that - cpu load went down by 5%- The only thing is that erlang-base is reported as installed [23:31] kaddi_: ls /bin/ /usr/bin/ /sbin/ or ls -lR /* | grep -rwx [23:31] jospams, if you want to learn what it really is. google. "domain suffix search order" [23:31] How to I put my compiled programs in a package for install? [23:31] kaddi_: there's a command you can run, and it will print a list of packages to a file on your desktop. [23:31] kaddi_: */usr/sbin/* [23:31] hello [23:31] another problem that i found, is that everytime i turn on my computer it doesn't work at the first time. A black screen stops everything right after the boot choice, and i have to manually shut down and turn on again. Than everything works perfectly. It happens everyday, and nobody in the italian forum gave me an answer. [23:31] but i'm not sure if it works in CLI [23:32] starfishblub, google how to create a debian package [23:32] intrader: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/erlang-inets/filelist [23:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 [23:32] kaddi_: see above [23:32] sapsan, overwrite grub-bootloader with the bootloader of any other system and format your ubuntu-partitions [23:32] KM0201: thanks checking it now [23:32] p_res, its little complicated for me now [23:33] induz: Stick to what you're comfortable with for now. [23:34] kaddi_: that actualy looks pretty eays... i just tried the first part(to make the list) and it works.... i guess the only issue is getting the list from the borked hard drive, to the "virgin" hard drive [23:34] Hi [23:34] Desp: Hi. [23:34] goltoof, I will uninstall erlang - probably auto installed by something [23:34] intrader: erlang is a prog language [23:34] rumpe1 you mean to download another version? [23:35] intrader: don't think uninstalling it will help, maybe, but probly not the best approach [23:35] Just replaced my 3GB of RAM with 4GB of RAM and on boot if I F2 into my system the bios shows 4GB of RAM but my Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-27-generic only shos 3.0GiB of Memory under system monitor... I have rebooted a few times... Whats Up? [23:35] intrader: see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664923 [23:35] I see two partitions on My Xp [1] is 10229 Mb and other is[2] 8Mb..why so? [23:36] how can I create a swap partition after installing ubuntu 10.10 beside win7 ? I have shrunk the partition but gparted says that I can only have 4 prim partitions [23:36] induz: Not too sure, probably ignore it if it is only 8MB. Not worth the trouble. [23:36] Desp, create an extended part or make a file bases swap file [23:36] p_res, How can i start internet on guest Machine...will it be automatic settings or i have to setup the NIC card? [23:36] sapsan, you wanted to delete it ... or is it running in live-mode? (directly from dvd) [23:36] Citizenwarrior: Is it 32/64 bit ubuntu? [23:36] 32 [23:37] Citizenwarrior, that's why [23:37] goltoof, yes, can it propagate from one machine to another. I installed in another machine on the same net. [23:37] KM0201: the challenge is getting this to work for a non booted partition.. [23:37] ok ignarps I will try to [23:37] kaddi_: oh.. yeah i dont think you're gonna have any luck there.. the system can't boot at all? even recovery mode? [23:37] intrader: o_0 doubt it [23:37] #ubuntu-it [23:37] Desp, if you don't think you will actually need to use the swap space. A file bases on is easy to setup [23:37] induz: Should do it automatically after you install the Guest Additions. [23:37] rumpe1 no, it is already installed on HD [23:37] rumpel, DarkStar1, Is 32bit limited in what it can see? [23:38] p_res, do u think USB are going to work on guest Xp via VBox? [23:38] KM0201: nope it's in an eternal bootloop saying sectors are bad when I try [23:38] sapsan, anything else on your HD? [23:38] induz: Should do. It does on mine. [23:38] sapsan, i mean... any other operating system? [23:38] 32 bits can only address 4GB of memory. but a system won't reflect the full 4Gb for reasons (and I'm not sure I correct about this) of reserving some part of it or something along a similar note [23:38] goltoof, I try uninstalling it with synaptic and after reboot see it 'beam' comes back. [23:38] intrader: worth a shot :/ [23:38] kaddi_: could you boot a live CD, chmod the drive, and run that command? [23:38] p_res, it would be good if it does it on its own. [23:39] rumpe1 no, absolutely no! [23:39] induz: Yes it does. But you have to install Guest Additions. [23:39] KM0201: I have a full image on an external drive here atm [23:39] sapsan, then you can also delete it by installing any other system in its place [23:39] how can i install gues adds on? [23:39] ignarps, I have 4 GB RAM kind fare [23:39] DarkStar1 bummer... so was that a wast of cash or will I see any improvement [23:39] p_res, How? [23:39] KM0201: the sys partition has been mounted to /media/sys.. do you think I can do it this way? [23:39] induz, usually theres an enty in the menu on the top [23:39] Desp, that doesn't tell me if you plan on using swap :) [23:40] induz, on the top while vm is running [23:40] Citizenwarrior: Or you could update to 64bit OS.. [23:40] induz: When booted into you VM, at the top of the VB window select Devices > Install Guest Additions. [23:40] rume1, ok [23:40] yes I do ignarps but the hard way :) [23:40] p_res, good i will do that [23:40] I would have to upgrade hardware, and the cash isn't there [23:40] p_res: dangit p_res,, i just finished typing that :P [23:40] its still loading Xp [23:40] KM0201: how would I proceed with that? force mount the different partitions onto /bin /usr and such? [23:40] I hardly doubt that.. Unles you're using pre 2002 hardware [23:41] Citizenwarrior, do you need 4GB? ... for most tasks you don't need so much... [23:41] is Vb is better than wine?? [23:41] Citizenwarrior: I hardly doubt that.. Unles you're using pre 2002 hardware [23:41] induz: depends on the app, how much resource you need etc [23:41] induz: i use xp vm exclusively for all microsoft junk [23:41] induz: For some things yes. It really depends what you're doing in WINE and VB. [23:41] I just want to finish my scholl work mostly on Office 2007 [23:42] induz: why? why not open office? or google docs? [23:42] induz: Tell your school to install Linux! [23:42] guys correct me if I'm wrong here but wasn't Pentium 3 the last 32bit CPU? [23:42] DarkStar1 I was going to do some Virtual Box stuff [23:42] rumpe1, no, I can't, I tried to install wndows XP, it says error occured check your disk F, which is my HD [23:42] or was the P$ also 32? [23:42] DarkStar1: Is that Tison? [23:42] DarkStar1: Noi. [23:42] p_res, i used wine but most of my formatted .doc file were destorted on Wine [23:42] No [23:42] my laptop died a minute ago and I rebooted and it said it couldn't load most of the applets [23:42] sapsan, then check your HD and/or your install-media [23:42] P4* [23:42] time/date for example is missing.. how can I fix it ? [23:43] induz: Can't help you mate. I avoid MSOffice at all costs. [23:43] Hi. A thread for my choppy sound problem in Mupen64plus suggested to use Alsa. I am confused as to how to use Alsa with Mupen64Plus instead of pulseaudio [23:43] p_res, I use OO but when i get something from school, its all[format] gone [23:43] goltoof, i tend to think openoffice has a lot of really annoying issues.....but the same is true for each edition of word that microsoft makes worse and worse every two years [23:43] induz: Yeah that can happen. [23:43] BlaDe^: gnome-panel --replace, what effect? [23:43] rumpe1 what media? Even my teacher can't fix this [23:43] Citizenwarrior: Virtualising, How many VMs you plan on spawning, and what OS'es you plan on running [23:43] reset to default - thanks shcherbak [23:43] induz, perhaps you can suggest your school, to save in an older word-format ... that solves sometimes formating problems [23:44] BlaDe^: welcome [23:44] why can nvidia-settings NEVER save the stupid config file? even when ran with sudo? but gksudo gedit can save over it?? [23:44] p_res, I spent 3 hrs ith my teacher and got everything on .doc file when i start that file on OO..most of the bullets are gone and words were haywire [23:44] xim_: lol... it gets a little better, but every innovative thing they come up with, ie, online collaboration, has already been available from oo/google docs for years [23:44] Citizenwarrior: It depends on what you want to do on your host OS. [23:44] sapsan, your xp-install-media. Or download a bootCD with HD-check-utils [23:44] I generally have a personal rule. Use OO for OO docs and MSOffice for MSOffice docs. Then you can't go wrong. [23:44] Novice ubuntu user needs help getting (S)Mplayer set up with VAAPI (Intel video output)! [23:44] Novice ubuntu user needs help getting Mplayer set up with VAAPI (Intel video output)! [23:45] DarkStar1 is there a command to get my system to return if it is 32/64... VB of Windows for testing and a few other projects [23:45] DarkStar1, the P4 was 32bit [23:45] p_res, thats a good rule, i will follow that now on [23:45] xim_: it always works for me... when ran w/ gksudo, i save it and it saves my config [23:45] hi [23:45] KM0201: how would I do the chmod thing? [23:45] xim_: bottom line is they don't want their format to get along with anyone else.. [23:45] DarkStar1, well the early ones where 32bit [23:45] can anyone prove help on wine application [23:45] Citizenwarrior, return to what? [23:45] Citizenwarrior: If your Host OS is windows and you plan on spawning multiple windows OS VMs then...... I'd say good luck [23:45] is this the right place ? [23:45] kaddi_: honestly, i'm really not 100% sure [23:45] goltoof, agreed. booo [23:45] or should i go elswhere ? [23:45] rumpe1, school is not going to change [23:45] KM0201, gksudo nvidia-settings...duh [23:45] but basically its a way of accessing the drive, and running commands like you were using that linux os [23:45] KM0201: could you give me some buzzowrds for google? I'm not having much luck finding anything [23:46] xim_: i know, i'm saying it works fine, to save the config(or does for me anyway [23:46] should there be any issues running mupen64 plus emulator in 64 bit ubuntu? My sound is really bad / choppy [23:46] ignarps: aahhh I don't remember much of that ERA because I was mostly AMD [23:46] DarkStar1 No I am running Ubuntu 10.04, want to VB a window in it... I don't have any windows boxs [23:46] KM0201, no i was saying why didnt i try that, but i just did and it still say unable to open X config file [23:46] induz: do what i did.. drop out. everything i need to know for work i got online [23:46] kaddi_: what do you do? try to use ls to gather info of failed system, also copy logs. [23:46] Hello i know that on port 34944 a server runs, how can i stop it? [23:46] Citizenwarrior, VB=virtual "boxes"? [23:46] xim_: dunno, works fine for me... [23:46] DarkStar1, intel was trying to make the itanium with HP the ia-64. amd made amd64 and beat them to it with a better design [23:47] induz: What a stupid thing to say. [23:47] rumpe1, you mean search in internet? [23:47] Citizenwarrior: Ifit's just that you hardly need more than the 3GB. unless you plan on running some silly resource hogging games in your windows VM [23:47] kaddi_: i think i'm actually thinkin gof chroot [23:47] ignarps: Aahh.. I remember that now. :) [23:47] goltoof: What a stupid thing to say. [23:47] DarkStar1 Ok thanks for your time [23:47] sorry guys need help in confugriing wine, i have a program and it works but the graphs dont work, anyone know how i can find which dlls i need to override ? or is there a separate wine channel ? thanks [23:47] DarkStar1, yeah HP still tries to push those chips. Even though the compiler was proved to be almost impossible to create [23:48] dosydoo1234: join wine irc. [23:48] shcherbak: hard drive died, I did a complete image of the drive with dd_rescue. I have reinstalled on a new hard drive from which I'm currently running. I would like to have the new system the way the old one was. I have copied back my user account data and now would like to gather from that image, somehow the list of installed packages as to install the same packages onto the new installation. [23:48] sapsan, no... you would have less problems, if they would save their MSoffice-docs in an older format... like Word97 e.g. [23:48] Citizenwarrior: also I think uname -a should provide some info as to whether it's 32/64 bit [23:48] Citizenwarrior: Or is it uname -v [23:48] dosydoo1234: If there is a wine channel! [23:49] shcherbak: I used the opportunity to also change partition sizes and reinstall the windows which is why I did not just play back the image, besides there's a lot of holes in it so I'm not sure I would have gotten a working system anyways [23:49] Citizenwarrior, or check. cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:49] p_res: results vary with that one.. my situation doesn't require me too, though i should. dropping 150k on a degree is way stupid for me at this point [23:49] anyway.. offtopic [23:49] Citizenwarrior, it depends if you need to find out if your kernel is 64 bit or your cpu is 64 bit capable === Mhaddog_ is now known as Mhaddog [23:49] goltoof: I just thought it was a dumb thing to suggest, that's all. [23:50] ignarps: lol.. :D The architecture itself was wank if I remember correctly so much so it kept failing benchmarks badly when compared with the AMD [23:50] p_res: man sarcasm [23:50] goltoof, 150k??? are you on the 10 year plan? [23:50] goltoof: Yes, off topic, moving on... [23:50] KM0201, shcherbak I'm assuming chroot is something I would not wnat to run from my current install but rathre from a livecd? Or could I just change the chroot for one instalnce of terminal and run dpkg in there? === numique is now known as numique` [23:50] DarkStar1, yeah that was due to the compiler having to make all multithreaded decisions. The compilers they had at the time could not do it [23:50] ignarps: but that didn't bother me.. It was the power draw of those chips.. They did run hot on my friends machines [23:50] hi. I'd like to rebuild a kernel module so that it matches my running (ubuntu) kernel. What's the correct way to do it? I do apt-get source linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic, then just took config from /boot/config-2.6.35-24-generic, then build the module - but I just get (in dmesg): no symbol version for module_layout when I try to load it [23:50] sorry encouraging ot discussion [23:51] ignarps It would be nice to see what the CPU is [23:51] I wonder why do I get that when the kernel config is the same (I hope) [23:51] kaddi_: i don't think it would really matter [23:51] what's a good program for me to type ' ,hello ' and have it to perform { Hello, $} and put me in the dollar sign? [23:51] induz: My SP3 install just finished. Rebooting now and will then use this vdi as a template to implement for vdi's using vdiclone. [23:51] Citizenwarrior, then you want the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' [23:51] Does apt-get source also apply patches, or am I supposed to apply them myself somehow? [23:51] ecinx: php? [23:51] p_res, why u use so many XP clones?? [23:51] ignarps thank-you [23:51] I have tried several configurations but mupen64plus sound is still so choppy, what is up? [23:52] i don't know php [23:52] induz: Different stuff. Development, testing, etc. [23:52] p_res, mine is still loading Xp [23:52] I have successfully pulled instanton (which is just a launcher) and have it running on ubuntu and I am having trouble getting icons to appear. All of the links work but there is just blank tiles with the names....I have tried editing the .desktops and have tinkered with the other config files but to avail............... anyone wanna take a stab at it ??? [23:52] kind of like macro program, I really want it for teX [23:52] ecinx: just about any programming language can do that, choose a languag [23:52] LaTeX [23:52] Citizenwarrior: Yeah ignarps is a better solution.. Forgot about that command :D [23:52] p_res, r u a s/w tester? [23:52] induz: Dabble in some development and testing, yes. [23:52] lol [23:53] p_res, good [23:53] what i want to do exactly is type ,br and put me betweeen a pair of braces, and type,4 and put me between a pair of dollar signs [23:53] DarkStar1 It's cool if none of us ever forgot anything then we wouldn't need to chat here [23:53] p_res, i am trying to get into HelpDeskSupport [23:53] thats what you have to do when you learn everything for you job on the internet [23:54] ecinx: not at all an ubuntu issue.. try #bash or #latex if it exists [23:54] Ok guys I need your opinion on how to solve my problem. and bear in mind I'm not a web head. Newto the whole web admin arena [23:54] induz: Don't get me wrong, apart from gaming I don't really use Windows a lot these days. I use it in VM because as much as I hate Windows, XP runs nicely in VirtualBox. Probably the best operating system for virtualization I reckon. [23:54] Citizenwarrior: We'd still have to chat. We of course come here to learn also [23:54] p_res, Its good to know XP runs good on VB [23:54] Anyways here goes with my issue.. [23:55] induz: It does! [23:55] p_res: same, excluding the new apps that will only work on 7 [23:55] kaddi_: silly me, you there? [23:55] goltoof: Then I avoid them. Simple. [23:55] shcherbak: yes [23:55] p_res, we had hrad time on school running server 2003 on VM last year i dont know why that NIC was not working === ng_ is now known as NG_ [23:56] induz: Yeah I've never used Windows Server so I wouldn't know. [23:56] shcherbak: still reading man chroot and trying on deciding whether it's realy worth it.. :p [23:56] kaddi_: you want to have list of programs, right? [23:56] shcherbak: yeah, or packages [23:56] kaddi_: man is answear! === KM0201_ is now known as KM0201 [23:57] ignarps, sorry man I am creating the file [23:57] Two tomcats running on two different virtual servers (both servers are hosted at a provider 1&1 in this case). They run similar webapp services for different dept but are under different domain. I have been tasked with consolidating them under 1 domain name so that both apps will be resolved to a subdomain on the chosen one. [23:57] Desp, I was not waiting on anything :) [23:58] hey, Im trying to setup a redirect on lighttpd, but I know nothing about regex xD... Can anyone tell me how to match everything on the web server minus an entire directory and its contents ? [23:58] I know , sorry for highlighting your name :) [23:58] p_res, is that 384 MB going to affect My ubuntu if i am not using VB[running] [23:58] induz: nope [23:58] induz: No, only whilst you have a VM running. [23:59] burning an .iso to a dvd -r do i use TAO or SAO write mode? [23:59] Mine's done. Now to clone a couple... [23:59] kaddi_: /usr/share/doc/ most of programs write there [23:59] I have fired off an e-mail to 1&1 to ask if they can configure their DNS to resolve this issue for me but not heard anything as of yet. Googling suggests that I maybe able to run Apache on one of the servers and do some reverse proxying so that the request is redirected to the right virtual server.
